Featured New Releases:
Nicki Minaj – Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded
It's no secret that Nicki Minaj is a little eccentric. From her performances to her fashion choices, she continues to keep her fans and critics alike on their toes. So, in a surprise to no one, her 2nd album is in fact a concept record, from the perspective of her alter-ego "Roman," who was introduced at this year's GRAMMY™ awards in a typically Nicki, over-the-top performance. The first few tracks are pretty off the wall with character voices, but deeper into the album, she re-focuses and shows the serious emcee chops that made her famous.

I believe there is a massive misunderstanding by many that when a cyclist asks for something to be done about road safety or recounts a story about a close encounter that many assume this is anti-car. The fact is the majority of adult cyclists have driving licences and cars. Many use their cars frequently for errands, shopping, long distance journeys.
It's an appreciable thing in how the motorcar has changed our lives. The first thing many people do when they've passed their test is celebrate. It is seen as one of life's challenges, a right of passage even if you cannot afford the insurance for the time being. There is after all, always the Parent's policy and car, and a legal way around the costs.
What is actually happening amongst the many who call for change is a recognition that car use can be an abuse. There is little point using a private car for a short journey of less than 5 miles if you are going to be the only occupant and are not carrying heavy loads. Van drivers and Truckers are an exception. Their cargo is their passenger. Disabled drivers, too, are an exception.
I've had it said to me a few times: what about the family shopping once a week? Don't feel guilty for driving and loading up the car, honestly. This is an acceptable thing to do. However if the only thing you need is a pint of milk and the shop is not too far away (there is usually a supermarket within 1.5 miles of the average house) then why drive. If its a nice afternoon there's nothing wrong with walking, time permitting. Or just wait until you need more shopping.
Commuting traffic has to be one of the biggest problems for towns and cities. Traffic engineers must be on the verge of pulling their hair out at times, and there is a noticeable decrease in traffic during school holidays in many urban areas. This is something I notice frequently in Southampton, during the 6 weeks holidays the traffic is less packed and less frenetic.
We have to ask ourselves why, when many kids still live within a small distance from schools, Parents chose to drive them to school. Childhood obesity has risen in the past 10 years. We have to change the way we live out lives, it is no good putting a death sentence on a child's head because of poor daily planning.
A couple of years ago I rode my bicycle around to the local supermarket. I recognised a car pulling into the carpark with the owner being the local crazy lady. She, still resplendent in her pyjamas and dressing gown, was becoming quite irate at the traffic entering the parking areas. In her mind they were holding her up. I had managed to park up the bike, lock it, and entered the shop to pick up my few things only to arrive at the cashier to see said woman buying cigarettes and walking back out.
You have to ask yourself why she would drive that journey of less than a mile for a packet of cigs. Though I suppose her demeanour leads us to several possible conclusions.
Another time I was riding home from work about to scale one of Southampton's hills. I passed a house where a woman was getting into a nice, smart little yellow car. A few yards up the hill the car passed me and sat at the lights. I caught up as it turned green and we both set off in the same direction. Traffic wasn't packed out as this was the middle of the afternoon, yet she turned off into the parking area for a local shopping district (Bitterne Precinct for those that know it).
Compare this with an old dear I knew who would walk 2 miles with her trolley to do her shopping.
There is a possibility, if we take the examples from The Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland, that proper, working segregation of bicycles from motor traffic could actually smooth the flow of motorists. Cyclists could benefit from safe routes, remembering that many potential cyclists wont cycle due to a fear of traffic.
There is a recognition that motoring is becoming more expensive. Here too, cycling could play a massive part. A bicycle is cheap to run, easy to store. Cycling just 50 miles a month could save you up to £40. That's for an average short distance trip of 1 mile each time.
Can you still be a petrolhead and ride a bike? Absolutely. There is nothing wrong in loving how cars look, sound or work. I quite like the look of a few Ferraris. Don't ask me about spec, though, because for me its an aesthetic thing. Jaguars too, are great cars. My late Grandfather had 3, you might say he was the Prescott of our family.
The Golf GTi is a classic, as is the old British Mini.
A quick scan of many car forums online will show that they have cycling sections or are filled with users who are dedicated riders. Nothing is mutually exclusive when it comes to transport.

Challenges and their solutions...???
* What are your challenges and barriers to creating change in your community?
Being young and being a woman in a developing country is a challenge in itself even in this day and age and it is no more different in our community. Its not just the mindset of the men, its also of the women, when you are little your mum keeps you in the kitchen and the boy out, school fees priority is always for the boy if money is an issue in the family and the girl later as its always assumed the girl will get married and be taken care of by her husband.
Those mind sets and stereotypes are the main barriers to creating change in my community. The turn up of women to meetings on development is most of the time at a minimum and if what was discussed or whatever transpired does not make the husband happy then know you will probably never see the women at another meeting.
* What are some of your present solutions to overcoming these challenges and barriers?
There is a lot of sensitization talks happening and more and more women are finally stepping up into leadership roles and are also being accepted into leadership positions. The encouragement of girls to go to school, government policies on 50/50 representation of women in positions i.e the parliament is also helping.
I am currently back home in an internet cafe and the person sitting next to me a woman i hardly know has just opened World Pulse. I was shocked. She learned of it from a friend and is currently reading through stories. You can not comprehend how big online communities get - one click, one story and it hooks you for life to that online community and since PulseWire is mainly there to address women issues then the possibility of me overcoming challenges in my community are very high!
Hello Dear Rosebill
Thank you for sharing your thoughts here in the community!
Although there is so far to go, your writing here is one of the very powerful tools we have to move women's rights and human rights forward.
Trust me, the image you just created for me of you at the internet cafe witnessing another woman coming onto World Pulse website, it is a joyful image! We have a potential that is just coming to the fore front!
Keep writing and sharing your thoughts! And, by the way, you have a warm and wonderful smile!
In Kindness,
Hi Gretchen
You have written very clearly about your hopes and dreams for creating change in your community. I hope that by meeting people one at a time either online or internet cafes who share your vision you will continue to be inspired to explore how you can use social media to bring that change about.

This idea has been carried out during the past for a while now. Online surveys are increasingly being employed by businesses for advertising research, especially with the increase in recognition of the world wide web.
A major raise in the amount of corporations whom offer online surveys has taken place. Adverts referring to surveys are posted all over the world wide web, in the form of ads on web sites, sponsored hyperlinks and video clips. An example of this may be how to get free money as being a sponsored hyperlink. Sweepstakes and Get Paid To web sites have increased in recognition alongside with online surveys,
So why are individuals getting compensated by these companies fill out basic surveys? A lot of companies value the importance of marketing and advertising research and thoughts of customers.

You'll be able to join various online survey web sites as a way to have access to far more surveys, and permitting you to make more cash. Some survey sites also pay their users in the form of rewards or sweepstakes entries.

The vital home leg | Freetown players find support for game efforts
Members of the Single Leg Amputee Sports Club in postgame celebration. (Prosthetics Outreach Foundation)
Freetown, Sierra Leone | The physical prowess of amputee footballers shows clearly in the pictures and text supplied by Robyn Dixon in last Friday's Los Angeles Times. The victims of atrocities or other injuries incurred during a 10-year civil war, members of the Single Leg Amputee Sports Club must shed prostheses before taking the field and confront the handicap as well as the prejudices of the able-bodied.
[W]hen the Single Leg Amputee Sports Club competes, people are dazzled by the speed and energy of the game and by the skill of the players. … The players' faces seem to show double the pain and effort of the able-bodied players who have used the soccer field a few minutes earlier.
One amputee player tumbles so hard he ends up on his head, then crashes down into the dust, face clenched in agony. Another falls and loses his wooden crutch but struggles up with angry determination, hops after the ball and somehow, as graceful as a ballet master, kicks it without the crutch.
Support comes from Seattle nurse Dee Malchow and the Prosthetics Outreach Foundation. "I'm overwhelmed watching it," says Malchow, herself an amputee. "It almost brings tears to your eyes watching them."
The club's inspiring origins previously have featured on WBUR of Boston's Only a Game (see 29 Nov 05) and on the website of the American Amputee Soccer Association. A Freetown side has traveled to the U.K. and Brazil; the World Amputee Football Federation now has endorsed Sierra Leone to host a pan-African amputee tournament in October. The club, however, is broke and, without government assistance, must come up with $300,000 to bring the tournament to Freetown.
Founding club member Mohammed Lappid has been playing five years after having lost his dominant right foot. He and others find the same joys as they once did playing able-bodied soccer.
[W]hen I get the ball and play it, it's the same. I cross it to my colleague. He passes and reaches the goal. If I or my friend gets a goal, I feel very happy. We hold onto our friends to celebrate.
Other sources: In the case of Mamusu Thoronka, 41, Roland Bankole Marke of Worldpress.org demonstrates that fierce discrimination still confronts many amputees in Sierra Leone ("No Compassion for Sierra Leone's Amputees," 29 Mar 07). "I cannot cook for myself," says Mamusu. "I have to direct my daughter Bonki to do the cooking for me. When my children run into disagreements in school their peers tell them, 'Your mother is a half-person.' "

I love this heated bird bath and so do the birds. Instructions were vague for a 70 year old female to put together. I like that it is made out of cedar.

V H. from Oregon, WI
This bird bath was great this winter (2013-2014) in Wisconsin. We had a very cold winter (-20°F actual temperature and wind chills down to -40°F for many nights in a row) and the water would still be liquid in the mornings. Ice would accumulate in the bath along the outside perimeter, so the heating element couldn't keep up there, but as long as water was covering the entire surface of the pan, the center and 80-90% of the rest of the bath was open water. The water disappears fast in the center (evaporation due to the dry weather and wind) so the bath should be checked daily for refills (not a fault of the bath, just for informational purposes). In addition, the design is sturdy and durable (we used stakes to safely secure the bath stand to the ground preventing the strong winter winds from blowing it over). It looks nice too; I love that the stand is made out of cedar, as cedar is very slow and resistant to decaying/rotting. In conclusion, it worked great for its first winter and I'm hopeful that it will continue to be in good working shape for a long time. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality standing bird bath.

In the great frozen winter of 2013-14we were worried this electric water source wouldn't stand up BUT it proved up to the job and performed above expectations.The birds, squirrels, and maybe even the deer love it.So do we, it's added a wonderful aspect to the backyard view. Go ahead and get it!

Deanne M. from Concord, GA
This heated birdbath was so easy to assemble and to attach to our porch railing. With below freezing temperatures the water remained clear and liquid. Being able to empty it by merely tipping it away from me is a bonus. It holds nearly 2 gallons of water.

John B. from Minnetonka MN
Living in Minnesota, where a bird may freeze solid if its body gets wet in winter, I was worried about providing a heated bird "bath". But providing birds with drinking water, when all ponds and streams are ice-bound, is desirable. So I took the chance and installed an Allied Precision heated bird "bath". And the birds and I are delighted. They are sensible. They flock to the rim to drink, but not to paddle. Perfect! The product is well engineered and durable. Its thermostat maintains the water at a steady 54 degrees ... so steam rises from it on colder days. The steady evaporation means that I must top it up daily. But that simple chore encourages me to empty and refill it when the water is dirtied by seed particles, etc. I suggest that Backyard Chirper should recommend using a Water Wiggler type of stirrer as an accessory to this bird bath: birds mistrust completely still water.
John B. reviewed: Allied Precision Heated Bird Bath with Stand
Harold C. from Nebraska
So far we are happy with our product. We had to laugh when the instructions said to keep it out of the wind! We live in Nebraska! We use it outside to water the backyard creatures...birds, squirrels, rabbits, deer, possum, woodchuck, etc.
Harold C. reviewed: Farm Innovators Four Seasons Ground Heated Bird Bath
August W. from Brighton, MI
This is a great bird bath. It will keep the water above 35 degrees even in the coldest weather. The birds love it. I put in a couple stones in the center to give the birds some more room to perch. Just beware, my experience is that heating element thermostat will last only about 2 to 4 winters and it can not be repaired. That's why I give it 3 stars.
August W. reviewed: Allied Precision Heated Bird Bath
Mark B. from Northern AL
This bath is a nice neutral color, and is unobtrusive. Keeps the water from freezing, cleans easily by tipping. Birds probably rate it a 10!

Geertson Seed Farms), the decision leads to some important implications in future GMO cases.

Our galaxy is a big place, but that doesn't mean we don't have any neighbors. There are a handful of stars close enough to Earth to be potential targets for exploration within our lifetimes. The hope was that one of the closest of these, Barnard's Star, just might have a habitable planet in orbit, but new observations show no signs of anything at all.

A very large ray, sometimes called a devilfish.
(Str: dp. 3,800; l. 251'; b. 43'6"; dr. 17'9"; s. 9 k.; cpl. 64; a. 1 5", 1 3")
Manta (No. 2036), originally built for the Clyde Steamship Co., was launched in 1916 by the Chicago Ship Building Co., South Chicago, III.; and acquired and commissioned by the Navy 8 December 1917.
Manta, a NOTS cargo ship, plied the waters of the eastern Atlantic and the Caribbean until mid‑July 1918. She then conducted two round‑trip voyages to Europe as a mine carrier. On 30 October 1918 during the second return voyage, she was damaged in a storm and was towed to Norfolk. After extensive repairs she was decommissioned 13 March 1919 and returned to her owner.

Sing the Praises of an Unsung Support Staff Hero
"Lawyers in Wisconsin do terrific work. But where would they be without the members of their support staff who, behind the scenes, quietly make it all happen?" So asks the nomination form for Unsung Heroes of Wisconsin's Legal Community award. The program is sponsored by the Wisconsin Law Journal.
This is an outstanding idea. There are so many dedicated legal professionals in our libraries, firms, and courts. I urge you to nominate someone who you feel has gone above and beyond in service to Wisconsin's legal community. Categories include: Secretary, Paralegal, Librarian, Administrator, Human Resources, IT Specialists, Marketers, Court Reporters and Court Clerks.
Nominations are due by August 11th and winners will be announced in November. Nominees will be profiled in Wisconsin Law Journal's Unsung Heroes 2006 magazine.

"Mothers' Love" by Kuni
…I don't normally translate authors' notes, but this time, I felt that it was appropriate to do so. I tried to translate her words to the best of my ability.
She writes,
"By no means are other people ever a replacement for those we've lost; however, when you lose family members, you can soothe the pain while finding solace, I think, by quietly looking for the secret traces of them that run within the hearts and minds of other people with whom you share a similar relationship with."

Emergency Radiator Repair: Auto Air Conditioning
General information about auto air conditioning:
Accumulator is canister after the Evaporator. Freon expands dramatically when it is heated up as it passes through the evaporator in the passenger compartment, absorbing the heat and changed into gas. The accumulator receives the (R12 or R134a) in the gas state as it leaves the passenger compartment evaporator. It has desiccant to trap moisture.
Alignment - Belt
The engine belts that drive the A/C compressor must be in alignment. A reason for them to be out of alignment is that the pulleys on the A/C compressor do not match with the engine pulleys. This can be due to improper installation of engine pulleys or A/C clutches as well as incorrect brackets used in mounting the A/C compressor.
Charge, Re-Charge
This describes installing (R12 or R134a) into the A/C system. Usually charging a system means installing the proper amount of (R12 or R134a) into the system that it needs. Re-charging suggests that only a portion of the freon has been lost from the system and is being replaced. Recharging a system that leaks can delay repairs, and could be illegal in some states. If a system has lost all of its (R12 or R134a), recharging is never advisable until you find the cause of the leak and the leak is repaired. Open systems could have contamination of air and moisture that enters the system after the (R12 or R134a) pressure is lost.
The compressor receives the Freon in a gas-like state and compresses it into liquid and circulates it into the condenser where the heat is taken out of the (R12 or R134a). The compressor is lubricated with special oil. It is very important to use the correct oil to the compressor and system. Some seals and gaskets may not work with some oils.
The condenser converts (R12 or R134a) from the gas-state back to the liquid state. The condenser is a radiator-like unit made up of coils. It is often mounted in front of the car radiator. (R12 or R134a) comes into the condenser from the A/C
A/C systems can be contaminated with metal particles from the normal wear of the compressor and tiny amounts of water moisture. Contamination can cause a system to fail. Protection against contamination is provided by the filter screen on the Expansion Tube and the desiccant in the bottom of the dryer or accumulator. Other forms of contamination may be the wrong kind of oil, wrong kind of liquid charge or other material that will interfere with the cooling system. Almost 100% of moisture is normally removed from the system when it is evacuated prior to installing (R12 or R134a).
Dryer is used before the evaporator and after the condenser. The Filter Drier is where the system will filter out small amounts of contamination and moisture from the system. Each time the system is opened or worked on the Dryer should be replaced. The d esiccant inside the dryer will absorb moisture. Also spelled drier.
Evaporator is a small radiator like unit that is stationed inside the car, usually near the heater core. The Evaporator receives liquid (R12 or R134a) into its coils. The fan inside the car circulates hot air over the evaporator coils and (R12 or R134a) absorbs the heat and is converted to gas which then flows to the accumulator. The cooled air flows into the car.
In the installation or repair of your A/C you should be sure to use a vacuum pump to draw a vacuum on the entire system. Vacuum is usually measured at 29 inches. We recommend holding the vacuum for 2-4 hours without fluctuation (most industry sources suggest 30 minutes). The vacuum will extract any moisture from the system as well as provide some assurance against possible leaks.
Expansion Valve, Expansion Tube
Also called the orifice tube. This component often has a mesh screen and is found in the evaporator inlet pipe (liquid line). In some cases this item is found in the outlet of the condenser. Its purpose is to limit the flow of the high pressure liquid (R12 or R134a) and thereby meter the flow of refrigerant to the evaporator as a lower pressure liquid. The screen serves the purpose of trapping metal particles that break loose from the compressor or other components. Expansion Valve come in two types, Block and Right Angle. The block valve is located at the evaporator and its purpose is to constantly check the temperature of the (R12 or R134a) and allow the proper amount of (R12 or R134a) to enter the evaporator. The right angle valve comes in two types (internal equalized and external equalized). This valve is also found before the evaporator and its purpose is to control the amount of (R12 or R134a) going into the evaporator.
Fittings - Hose
A/C hoses are designed to control liquid and gas at high pressures and temperatures. The hoses are usually flexible and terminated with special metal fittings at the ends that prevent leaks and provide a sure seal and connection between components. If you see blisters or bumps on the hoses you have a leak. You have to replace the whole line because today we use hoses that have a liner.
During installation or repair of A/C systems, the system should be flushed with clean special purpose fluids prior to the Evacuation and charge with new (R12 or R134a). This process is critical to the success of the job and long life of the system. Flushing removes contamination such as particles of rubber or metal that could be harmful to the system.
R12 and R134A
R12 Freon has been used since the 60's in automotive A/C systems. Government regulations and increasing prices have made R12 to high of liquid to use today. R134a is the newer version of R12 with out the harmful effects to the atmosphere. R134a is a much smaller and more efficient than R12. R134a typically runs a higher head pressure and tends to leak out quicker from high side leaks than R12. R134a requires the that the best components are used in your ac system. In some cases you will need to replace your condenser and evaporator to a higher efficient model so that R134a can perform properly. Warning. Do not mix R12 with R134a. Make sure you use the proper Oil.
Leak Test
A/C systems sometimes develop small leaks just like car tires do. When a leak develops the A/C (R12 or R134a) can be lost over the course of a few minutes or a day or two. One form of leak testing is done by charging a system with dye. When the dye escapes, it leaves a colored deposit at the point of the leak. Another form of leak testing is done by a simple pressure test, however this kind of test rarely helps locate the point of a leak. Another is done with a electronic leak tester.
Oil is designed to work with (R12 or R134a). Its primary purpose is internal lubrication for the compressor. A small portion of oil circulates through the system. Some systems collect the oil at the bottom of the accumulator and return the oil directly to the compressor through a separate line. It is very important to use the correct oil with the correct (R12 or R134a)
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch senses internal pressures and can cycle the compressor off and back on based on minimum and maximum pressure limits. Pressure switches also turn on or off you condenser fan or Radiator Fan.
Pressure Relief Valve
Relieves pressure from the system to protect components when internal pressures become too high.
Schrader Valve
This is the same kind of valve you have on your car tires and bicycle tires. It is used at one or two places in A/C systems to provide an access point to measure pressures and to remove or install (charge) (R12 or R134a) into the system.

Tuesday was just vegetarian tacos with assorted leftover wines from
previous night (both 64 Riojas last fine, as did the Billecart and
Conterno). Wednesday I was going in with Betsy, she had gotten me a
ticket for opening night (Bernstein's "A Quiet Place", a little
lacking in cohesion, but worth seeing). We just picked up pizza before
heading in, I opened the 2009 Breton "Trinch!" Bourgueil. Darker
fruit, bright acids, light tannins. Very fresh, with citrus and floral
notes. On following night I had more (with assorted leftovers), with a
day's air it was more expansive but no less fresh, a good vintage for
this. B+
I also tried the 2008 Binner "Les Saveurs" (Alsace), Fred had dropped
me an open (that day) sample bottle. A mix of Pinot Gris, Riesling,
Muscat, and Gewurztraminer, but the latter two (especially the Gewurz)
dominate. Rich, floral, musky, with a hint of RS, but good acidity. A
little oily note. Next day I made an ersatz choucroute (well, wrong
meats- franks and some homemade "Champagne sausage") and had the
Binner again. Good not great match, something a little leaner would
have gone better. But a nice wine on the richer side for an
edelzwicker style blend. B
Besides the Binner last night, I tried the 2009 E. Knoll Loibner
Blauer Burgunder Federspiel Rose. This is the first pink Knoll I've
ever seen. Midbodied, reminds me of something like a lighter Marsannay
rose. Red cherry fruit, herby, a touch of earth, good acidity. I
bought 2 bottles on impulse, at $27 (actually about $22 with a
coupon), this isn't inexpensive for rose, but it's tasty, unusual, and
has that cool label. B/B+
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.*

Carrera worked during the early 1990s as a dancer at several go-go bars in her home state of New Jersey. After doing at least one photoshoot for an adult magazine, she put together a demo porn tape in 1993. At the end of that year she relocated to California to break into the pornography business and she announced her retirement at the end of 2003. She is sometimes credited as Asia or Jessica Bennett.
Carrera has also been involved in writing, producing, and directing movies, as well as doing all her own make-up and hair-styling, and doing much of the hair and make-up for other actresses in the same movies.
As is common practice among adult film actresses, the name "Asia Carrera" is a pseudonym. According to interviews, she chose the stage name surname from actress Tia Carrere, intentionally misspelling it for legal reasons.
After her contract with Vivid expired in the mid 1990s, Asia had her right labia minora pierced and has henceforth had a variety of 1/2" gold rings affixed there ever since. At this time she also had her first breast enhancement, going from a medium B to at least a full C cup. She has had at least one subsequent breast surgery and is now a D cup or larger.
Asia has performed only a few anal sex scenes, again waiting for her contract with Vivid to expire to do her first scene in the movie "A Is For Asia". While anal sex pays better, Asia stated that, while she found it enjoyable, it wasn't something she did in her personal life a great deal and had no interest in becoming an "anal queen" in the industry.
Asia Carrera is in the AVN Hall of Fame and is also a member of Mensa!

Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
I can deal with the PG movies and maybe ice cube action figures later on...
but DAYUM!
how do you name an album "I am the WEST" when most of the tracks sound like Gucci mane's shit!!!
bubble gum, south beats.
Raw footage was fucken classic!
thats an album I can bump 'every' song.
and dont get me wrong:
a couple of songs on this new album are dope as fuck.
but I can't cruise around bumping
"won't you google me bitch....."
thats a No-No.
alot of these west coast rappers are trying so hard to sound like southern rappers.
the game, Dr. dre, snoop dogg, and now ice Cube!
Please get back on this gangsta shit cube.
it may be 2010.
but that dont mean you gotta "rap like others, for money..to spend on them dubbs"

Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
I'mma get me an Ice Cube action figure... lol For real... I would... ,get one at Target... lol
I don't know man... I agree with you but that's all the radio stations play out here in the west now... It's like a cancer... I don't even listen to rap music on the radio anymore... The radio stations out here turned the west into the south and now that's what a lot of youngsters like out here... I think Cube is putting "I Am The West" out as a "General" west coast album to appeal to those youngsters... Possibly, even as a way to pull those youngsters back into listening to true west coast music... We like the OG west coast sound but then again, some youngster may be saying, "Man, f*ck that old sh*t. I don't need to be hearing that washed up crap! The dude talks too much!" Hence, the dumbing down of society...So I guess, you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't....
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
i can deal with the different sounding beats, but his flow is changing, i know you guys can tell a difference. that chopy like thing he does with each line its not the same. and it says i rep dat west a few to many times
Urbanian is just terrible, but i liked Y'all Know How I Am, please go back to the good shit, fuck the dumb motherfuckers who dont like real issues but only listen to bullshit lil wayne and t pain and the other techno rapers.
if rap is changing im going to reggae
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
ive only listened to a few tracks on the album now
and i can actually agree with you in some sense..
but honestly im just waiting till the album drops (on my birthday yoo!!)
and then this site will definitely hear from me
..but until then, and until i listen to the album fully, imma keep my mouth shut.
i liked reading about your opinion though for sure!
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
Why Bitch. Cube doesn't have to put out any album at all.
Better to love what's there, than hate on what's missing.
Keep It Gangsta...

it's just my opinion tho..
I'm not one of the dudes here talking shit and hating for no reason.
I'm as honest as I can be..
but I guess if Cubes doing it to get radio plays....then do your thang my Nukka.
I wont hear it cause I dont listen to the radios either.
radio stations are played out..and they think theyre a fuckin club.
nobodys gonna put a radio in a party! thats what they got DJ's for!!!!
but at least, keep some gangsta hood shit in the album, for the REAL fans. Cube!!
- thankss
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
im just saying i listened to some of his older shit and the flow is way beter and the beats were too, but im going to get the album to hear it thru.
i will always suport cube even when im old and gray, and my generation of music goes to oldies
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
Cube sucks at picking beats for his albums... sad.
SA all day
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
Muggs would do fuckin bangers, 100% certified hard hip-hop shit... just listen to new Muggs vs Ill Bill album shit is str8 FIRE! fuckin album of the year! lyricaly and musicaly shit is pure gold.
now imagine Muggs on beats and Cube on mic, like 12-14 tracks... that would be best album from Cube since lethal inhection... one beatmaker one mc and few guests...
would be classick...
SA all day
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
to me i think it sounds good so far but no one has heard the whole cd yet just little samples of each one. so no one should complain just yet cuz we havent heard the whole cd but this is just my opinion.. i dont care what cube puts out cuz it always sounds amazing and im behind him 100% wit his music :D
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
Cube man.. This aint good.
When i heard of the release date i thought - Damn that was fast, maybe too fast.
Now i can say it for sure it was released too fast. I respect the man for showing love to his family since this is the first time but still what about the hood?
Unfortunately he rep'ed the west wrong this time. I do agree with a couple of the tracks are dope as fuck though. I still got faith in Cube cuz he still got all the other albums right!
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
Why not wait till the cd comes out to make judgements? yes some beats aren't the best but I"ve always listened to Cube because of the real life shit he raps about and always has. I still love the old gangster shit ( no one does it better), but you got to grow mentally.
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
first of all... iam not hating but that "SMH" word is getting on my fucking nerves... second of all you sound like your describing some1 who sold out, you think ice cube sold out?, he dosnt even need to make music, he does it for the fans and cuz he likes it, this guy can just quit rap and act or produce in movies, but he won't, cuz he thinks and even said he wont quit rap until the newer generation is better than him, seriosly... most of his songs on that album are either west coast or political, maybe a few songs that arent that good, and yea the google me bitch hook isnt that good but the lyrics are still good.....and how the fuck does he sound like gucci mane when gucci just rhymes with the same word all the time, seriosly stop comapring him to anybody from the south and maybe you meant the beat sounds like gucci mane, bro... what happened to beats are aight but lyrics really matter. I think most of his songs are west coast and political shyt, but yea seriosly, no comment... lolll....
"bubble gum, south beats"............. LOL do you hear your self?
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
hey i no what, cube should do some shit with scarface, agin because they are both bomb ass rappers with simalar gangster political raps, scarface being the only good rapper in south besides like SPM
i wonder wat cube thinks bout nelly lol
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
IceCube has been In the rap game for 22 years 22 YEARS!!!!!!!! he is older now and he has changed a little with time but he is still ICECUBE!!! for him to still be doing It is incredible and the way some of yall respect that is by saying some of his new songs on that album are bad because they sound like some Gucci man down South shit!!!! for anyone that knows the history of N.W.A and IceCube would know that their music was always Bass heavy every last one of Cubes albums always had beats on them that today you might consider South beats. When Cube left N.W.A he went to the BOMB SQUAD to do his first solo album the BOMB SQUAD was a NewYork based beatmaker for Public Enemy that used the same formula for Cube that it used for Public Enemy no one complained and Cube made a great album its should not be about West Coast beats or DownSouth beats he should only be about the man on the mic,..thats how it used to be Cube is a legend he can rap over any beat and make it work ..remember Jackin 4 Beats? Today was a Good day those beats was not oringinated iN L.A but those are some of IceCube best Classic songs Cube is an international Star he always has been ,..he love L.A with a passion and he has made that clear from the very begining but Cube has fans that love him because of his mic skill and his love for the rap game not because he is just from L.A dont make him into a back yard rapper from the hood the man has always made music for true IceCube fans everywhere.
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
In my opinion I think Cubes album is going to be one of the best albums of the year people wont respect it like that but from what i heard It should be right up there.
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
it ain't nothin wrong with south beats , if gucci mane spits on a DRE BEAT doesn't mean it will be a classic , rapping hot lyrics over a south beat it's nothin wrong , and about the "won't you google me bitch" , ice cube is a legend , he has done everything you can do in the biz , he can do this kind of songs , and still he would spit some hot lyrics , and yeah that's god damn right people who listen to garbage music should google cube ! cube said it himself this is a good summer album (not so much summer but anyway) , personally i can't wait for this album!
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
I think Ice Cube has done his job for the rap game and he can do whatever the fuck he wanna do...he's already a classic and no one can change that!
In an interview he quoted Jay-Z with the statement "niggaz want my old shit, buy my old albums" and that's a fact!...u can't expect from a person who's in the game since '86 to do the same type of songs for 24 years, WAKE UP!!!
Like any Ice Cube album, this one contains some classics too like "Hood Robbin" (real street shit), "No Country For Young Men" (lettin the cats know he's still doin' his thing), "Too West Coast" (2010 gangsta shit), "Nothing Like LA" (u can hear the sound of the G-funk in that one)
In conclusion no one gotta hate on Cube cuz he's 41 and still rappin'!
Hip-Hop is like wine, older is better!
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
Why not wait till the cd comes out to make judgements? yes some beats aren't the best but I"ve always listened to Cube because of the real life shit he raps about and always has. I still love the old gangster shit ( no one does it better), but you got to grow mentally.
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
Re: Let's not Lose Ice Cube!!!
Ice cube is going down. He's been hit by greed! Like he siad: Rapper life - greedy as fuck...

Figuring Out What's Wrong
"I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at age 9, after six months of severe symptoms, including frequent runs to the bathroom where I would mostly see blood. I had lost a lot of weight, was becoming dehydrated, and I was very pale and could barely keep down any food. It took a lot of time and several different doctors to figure out what was wrong with me. My mother was a nurse, and she was friends with an ER physician whose wife had ulcerative colitis (UC). He recognized my symptoms immediately and referred me to a gastroenterologist, who told me that if I had waited one more week to see her, I might have died. She did a colonoscopy and within a minute confirmed that I had UC, which was not only throughout my colon but had even spread into my small intestine.
"For the next three years after my diagnosis, I tried every UC drug that was available, usually in the highest doses possible. I gained 60 pounds and developed a moon face on steroids. I even took a small dose of chemotherapy to suppress my immune system. I would get better for a little while, but every time my doctor would begin to wean me off my medications, I would flare-up again and end up right back in the hospital with terrible symptoms. Finally when I was 12, my doctor visited me in the hospital and said, 'You can't take this anymore. You have to have the surgery. It's going to save your life.'"
The Turning Point
"So, at age 12, I had my entire large intestine and one-third of my small intestine removed. For four months afterward, I had an ileostomy bag, which was the worst part of the whole thing. It was so painful, having part of my intestine sticking out of my side like that. It was so hard to adjust. I couldn't go to school or do much of anything. Four months after my first surgery, the doctors did a second surgery and hooked everything up again. Since then, I have had an internal pouch that helps everything digest correctly."
A Bright Future
"Now my life is pretty normal. Before surgery, I had a very limited diet. I couldn't eat fruits, vegetables, seeds; no roughage at all. Now I can eat whatever I want, with the exception of certain meats that I find difficult to digest (I just avoid them). I don't think that UC really impacts my social life or my dating life. I'm very open about it. I'm not afraid to say, 'Yeah, sure, I have a 12-inch scar on my stomach.' If people don't want to hear about it, they can walk away. I know other people my age smoke and drink, but I don't; I take the best care of my body that I can. I don't want to end up in the hospital again.
"I have developed rheumatoid arthritis, which happens often in people with UC, so now I take medicine for my arthritis. I can't run because of the stress on my joints, but I did walk a half-marathon last fall for the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America and I loved doing it. I'm thinking of transferring to a college down in Florida; the heat really helps my arthritis and they have a program in hospitality and restaurant management. I love to cook, and someday I'd like to write a cookbook for people with inflammatory bowel diseases because I would have loved to have had one when I was diagnosed.
"I consider myself lucky. My surgery worked. I don't have an ileostomy bag anymore and I can lead a normal life. This disease has taught me who I am. It's helped me realize that I am a strong person and I can do anything and get through anything if I just set my mind to it. If I could go back in time, I would do it all over again. My advice to others diagnosed with UC is don't be ashamed of it, and don't give up just because one treatment doesn't work. Keep looking for the right doctor and the right treatment and learn as much as you can about the disease as possible. Realize that you have a disease; the disease doesn't have you."

Patients file suit over theft of Advocate Medical Group computers
SUN-TIMES MEDIA WIRE September 6, 2013 12:26PM
Updated: September 6, 2013 2:00PM
A north suburban mother and daughter who were patients of Advocate Medical Group filed a class action lawsuit Thursday after computers were stolen from its offices, alleging the health care group was negligent in protecting patients' private data.
In a burglary July 15, two men stole four computers from an Advocate building in the 200 block of West Touhy in Park Ridge that contained identifying information including names, addresses, dates of birth and Social Security numbers, the Sun-Times reported at the time.
The computers also had limited clinical information, such as health insurance data, Advocate officials said. A total of 4.03 million patients were being notified of the burglary.
Northbrook resident Pierre Petrich and her daughter, a minor, were notified of the breach of privacy by letter and filed the suit Thursday in Cook County Circuit Court, according to a statement from Clifford Law Offices.
It alleges the Downers Grove-based health group was negligent in protecting private data and failed to use encryption and other basic security measures on behalf of patients, the statement said.
"In this age of advanced technology, Advocate had to realize that its unorthodox methodology for maintaining important and private data posed a risk to the safety and security of their patients," attorney Robert Clifford said in the statement.
The suit claims negligence, violation of the consumer fraud and deceptive practices acts, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. It seeks unspecified damages.
"We deeply regret any inconvenience this incident has caused our patients who have entrusted us with their care," Advocate spokeswoman Kelly Jo Golson said in a statement.
"We are also committed to providing all individuals impacted by this incident with resources to answer their questions and tools to protect their personal information," she said.
"Although we are unable to comment specifically on active litigation matters, we want to reassure our patients that we do not believe the data was targeted and we have no information that leads us to believe that the information has been misused," Golson said in the statement.

The products play a valuable role in hospital's provision of efficient and quality healthcare. The customers are great to work with.
Organizations do not work together well. Multiple examples of "us" vs. "them." A lot of distrust between organizations and immature behavior.
Communicate more--with entire employee base and cross-functionally at the management level. Set an example in cooperating and supporting each other's organizations and recognize managers and employees who do this too.

I've been chilling with my friends alot recently. It's so much fun to just sit in our fave bar (sharkeys) for an hour or two after our lessons and just talk. On tuesday, a bunch of us went to the fair. Hence the reason i'm so sore. One ride kinda threw me about alot, and i got squashed and now i'm covered in bruises. Oh well. Also, the waltzers hurt my neck, and they lasted forever, i thought i was gonna be sick!
My friend Chloe ishaving a birthday party on the 24th to celebrate her 18th. I can't wait. I've bought a great outfit, a real sexy goth dress, with amazing 4.5 inch heels. I never wear dresses OR heels so it shall be interesting to say the least. Loads of people are gonna be there so that's kewl. Maybe i'll actually pull someone lol. As long as it aint a repeat of the Christmas party. That was bad. Ahhhh
I went to see finding nemo on tuesday, before the fair. It was so funny and the fishieswereso cute! It makes me look at my fish in a whole new light. I wonder if they ever try to escape? LOL
I was real upset last week. My guinea pig hannah died :'( She was around 5 years old though, and i've been told that's a good age. I dug her agrave and we buried her in the garden...
