That didn't stop R&B and rap artists of the past, from Marvin Gaye's What's Going On to KRS-One's "Stop the Violence." But there's obviously a huge disconnect between eras rap redefined R&B in the '90's, stripping from it the sensual passion of the Curtis Mayfields and Gayes and replacing it with bling, bling, more bling, and R. Kelly's bump 'n' grind philosophy. What happened?
"Overall, I think there might be a more complacent feeling in our generation," Legend says. "Not enough of us care about it, not enough of us talk about it, not enough of us vote. There's a general apathy there." There's also the fact that the growing disparity between rich and poor breeds contempt between the two. "One of the comments people always make in class warfare is that we're trying to make the poor hate the rich," he says. "No one wants the poor to hate the rich. At least I don't. I'm rich, and I don't want them to hate me."

If you think it's impossible to underestimate the cultural significance of American Idol, go see British filmmaker Havana Marking's documentary about its Afghani imitator, a smash hit television show whose musical wannabes run the gamut of Afghanistan's bruising ethnic divisions. The even more socially and geographically heterogeneous audience votes for the winner by cell phone, which holds out the promise of democracy so long denied the Afghanis by the Taliban. Marking follows the finalists around on the last leg of their P.R. campaigns and captures something sweetly goofy, with an edge of creepy, about their aping of smarmy American self-promotion (kissing babies, etc.). It gets a lot creepier as we discover the dangers facing the two women finalists, one of whom has the nerve to wear makeup, let her headscarf slip a little, and venture a timid dance step onstage. The really depressing news is that the vehement knee-jerk opposition to the women's participation comes not just from the Taliban and mullahs but also from young men in jeans and T-shirts who say they seek a more enlightened world and who watch the women's performances all the way through with contempt — and furtive lust — in their eyes.

An update for everyone - Saw my midwife yesterday & she said if I'm careful to avoid any triggers I can probably keep this baby in for another week (MAYBE two). Apparently its totally normal to walk around semi-dilated and having light contractions for weeks. Who knew? Jeez maybe I should have read more pregnancy books.
Anyway, thanks to everyone for contributing your ideas during my time of sheer panic! I'm happy to (hopefully) have another week or so to find the right name for this (or come to TRULY love the name we have now).
Thanks again everybody, still appreciating more suggestions but definitely feeling more relaxed now.
I'll make sure to keep you all posted & let you know when babykins decides to come.New username is @ truenature

On the surface, Parallel Play is nothing more than a run-of-the-mill string band—just your average quartet with a banjo, a guitar, a stand-up bass and drums. But there's more to the group's latest effort, The Floor's Made of Lava!, than one might initially suspect. Here, simple folk and bluegrass numbers are executed with a brand of gusto that recalls mid-'90s grunge, complete with tinges of pop-punk sensibilities thrown in for good measure.
Even when the banjo intro of the album's fourth track devolves into a cover of Green Day's "Pulling Teeth," it comes off more charming than shocking, and surprisingly more natural than the original ever sounded. In turn, what easily could have been seen as a tawdry gimmick instead ends up as one of the album's high points, thanks to the group's playful musicianship and harmonious vocals.
Whether singing about twirlin' a partner on the dance floor or, well, zombies, each track is just as enigmatic and toe-tappin' and foot-stompin' as the last—so much so that lines like "So if you're gonna leave me, shoot me in the head / then kick my corpse and check my pulse to see if I am dead" do little to dampen the mood.
Even a slightly superfluous cover of The Cranberries' "Linger" doesn't falter the disc's otherwise steady footing.

Heard about FIPEL? Well, it looks like LED may have new possibilities as well. LEDs are known for their energy efficiency and durability, but the bluish, cold light of current white LEDs has precluded their widespread use for indoor lighting.
Now, University of Georgia scientists have fabricated what is thought to be the world's first LED that emits a warm white light using a single light emitting material, or phosphor, with a single emitting center for illumination. The material is described in detail in the current edition of the Nature Publishing Group journal "Light: Science and Applications."
"Right now, white LEDs are mainly used in flashlights and in automotive lamps, but they give off a bluish, cool light that people tend to dislike, especially in indoor lighting," says senior author Zhengwei Pan, an associate professor in the department of physics in the UGA Franklin College of Arts and Sciences and in the College of Engineering. "Our material achieves a warm color temperature while at the same time giving highly accurate color rendition, which is something no single-phosphor-converted LED has ever been shown to do."
Two main variables are used to assess the quality of artificial light, Pan explained. Correlated color temperature measures the coolness or warmth of a light, and temperatures of less than 4,000 kelvins are ideal for indoor lighting.
Correlated color temperatures above 5,000 kelvins, on the other hand, give off the bluish color that white LEDs are known for. The other important measure, color rendition, is the ability of a light source to replicate natural light. A value of more than 80 is ideal for indoor lighting, with lower values resulting in colors that don't seem true to life.
The material that Pan and his colleagues fabricated meets both thresholds, with a correlated color temperature of less than 4,000 kelvins and a color rendering index of 85.
Warm white light can commonly be achieved with a blue LED chip coated with light emitting materials, or phosphors, of different emitting colors to create what are called phosphor-based white LEDs, Pan said. Combining the source materials in an exact ratio can be difficult and costly, however, and the resulting color often varies because each of the source materials responds differently to temperature variations.
"The use of a single phosphor solves the problem of color stability because the color quality doesn't change with increasing temperatures," says lead author Xufan Li, a doctoral student in the College of Engineering.
To create the new phosphor, Pan and his team combine minute quantities of europium oxide with aluminum oxide, barium oxide and graphite powders. They then heat the powdered materials at 1,450 degrees Celsius (2,642 degrees Fahrenheit) in a tube furnace. The vacuum of the furnace pulls the vaporized materials onto a substrate, where they are deposited as a yellow luminescent compound. When the yellow luminescent compound is encapsulated in a bulb and illuminated by a blue LED chip, the result is a warm white light.
Although his team's results are promising, Pan emphasized that there are still hurdles to be overcome before the material is used to light homes, businesses and schools. The efficiency of the new material is much lower than that of today's bluish white LEDs. Scaling the production to an industrial scale will be challenging as well, since even slight variations in temperature and pressure in the phosphor synthesis process result in materials with different luminescent colors.
The new yellow phosphor also has a new lattice structure that has not been reported before. The researchers currently are working to discern how the ions in the compound are arranged in hopes that a better understanding of the compound at an atomic level will allow them to improve its efficiency.
"We still have more work to do," Pan says, "but the color temperature and rendition that we have achieved gives us a very good starting point."

Dewalt 20Volt Circular Saw
Comment:This saw works great. It has great power for the jobs i do around my house, and i think it would be a great tool for a contractor. All of my other dewalt cordless tools are 20 volt lithium ion so i can run all of my tools with the 3 batteries i have. The price was awesome for this saw minus the batteries. I would highly recommend this tool to anyone looking for a cordless circular saw..d hankwitz

The "basic" grits and bits waffle has long been one of the most popular items on the Roadhouse brunch menu, and has been made in Low Country (that's Georgia and South Carolina) kitchens for centuries now.
The story behind it is that the Dutch brought waffle irons here with them, and that as they moved down the coast from Manhattan they began to blend the local leftover grits so common in the South into their waffles to make a new breakfast out of the previous day's leftovers.
The addition of the bacon isn't all that surprising, since cured smoked pork belly (that's a long way of saying "bacon" without having to repeat the same word in a single sentence) is in pretty much every traditional Southern dish. So it was a natural addition to the cause.
We serve the dish here with Michigan maple syrup, but down there it's likely have been cane sugar syrup or sorghum (you can have either of those instead of the maple if you like). Anyways, people love this dish, and many regulars come in weekly to have it. But what's getting me writing about it here is the recent insight of Alex Young (head chef and managing partner of Zingerman's Roadhouse) to make this same waffle dish but use Carolina Gold rice flour for the batter instead of wheat. I think it's a pretty brilliant idea. Three reasons I'm excited about it.
Plantation homes forged their family crest into the irons, giving the waffles a personalized touch when they went to the table.
First off I'm happy that it allows us to offer another really great, full flavored, traditional wheat and gluten free alternative to our rather large number of guests who have those dietary restrictions. It's a big obstacle to enjoying good eating as freely as one could without the need to get away from glutens, but given good work on the part of everyone involved -- including us as food preparers and sellers -- we can make some pretty tasty dishes that stand on their own as desirable options for all. This is one of those -- I'd want to eat it whether I was going gluten free or on a gluten-ful diet.
Secondly, I love the rice waffles because they're one more way of bringing antique tastes and textures alive in our modern era, which is so often dominated by the mass market. If you're not familiar with Carolina Gold rice -- in either its whole grain or floured forms -- I'll give you the three sentence synopsis here and refer you to the Roadhouse website for more about fifteen pages on the subject. It's not just some modern brand name with little meaning and a nice label; it's incredibly tasty stuff. It's the old rice varietal of the most rice-fixated state in the Union. It was known all over the culinary world back in the 19th century but was completely out of production for most all of the 20th.
What we're getting here is grown and milled by Glenn Roberts (Bon Appetit magazine's Artisan of the Year in 2008) -- it's organically grown, field-ripened, cold-milled, and the natural germ is still in it. Cooked up it's hard to believe how good it is.
I've got a recipe for Carolina Red Rice (with tomato and bacon) in Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon, which comes out in May. But this dish uses the rice in the form of flour -- all of the good stuff I've just mentioned cold milled into a silkily textured rice flour that tastes...amazingly good.

How Fast and Lindberg will help shape the Rangers roster
Amid the brief optimism and subsequent let down of the lockout negotiations (aka 'far apart') Rangers prospects have been getting it done and, which has been the case all season long, the Swedish contingent are shining bright.
Jesper Fasth continued his strong start to the SEL season and now has 9 points in 14 games for HV71. Fast grabbed two goals on Wednesday as HV71 beat Färjestad 4-3. The most encouraging thing in regard to Fasth is the fact he's producing on the powerplay (2 of his 6 goals so far) and is seeing considerable ice time at close to 20 minutes/game.
Clearly, Fasth is becoming a go-to option for his club which should stand him in good stead long term. With Oscar Lindberg still scoring at a point/game clip (now 14 in 14) come next season there will likely be another two Swedes making a serious case for inclusion on the Rangers roster.
So how does this affect the roster, aside from player turnover?

One motorist was killed and three others were injured in a wreck on Independence Boulevard on Sunday night.
Police identified the deceased as 25-year-old Barnette White Jr., who was ejected from the backseat of a 1999 Toyota 4Runner when a 1998 Saturn struck the SUV from behind. White was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
The driver of the Saturn, 28-year-old Daniel Lewis Roberts, suffered serious injuries and was charged with a DWI at the hospital.
Upon release, Roberts will be charged with felony death by vehicle, reckless driving and expired registration plate, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police said.
The crash occurred shortly before 7:30 p.m. The 4Runner was making a right onto Independence Boulevard from Village Lake Drive during a yellow light when the Saturn struck it.
"The Toyota then slid out of control and overturned," a CMPD statement says. "The Saturn continued to slide down the road before turning sideways and striking a telephone pole."
The 4Runner driver, Scott Lee Guess Howard III, and front-seat passenger, Jie Brandon Johnson, both 24, were taken to Carolinas Medical Center with minor injuries.
CMPD is investigating the accident and asks that any witnesses call Detective Matt Sammis at 704-336-8862.

Voyage to the Beginning of the World
Description: Octogenarian film director Manoel de Oliveira travels autobiographical avenues in this portrait of a film director Manoel (Marcello Mastroianni) who is shooting on location in Portugal. During a break, one of the film's actors, Afonso, born in France but of Portuguese descent, travels to his father's birthplace, accompanied by the director and two other actors. The journey takes them to Alto Minho in the north of Portugal, where they look back on rural Portugal and the memories of a lifetime. This was Mastroianni's last film. The film is loosely based on the experiences of French actor Yves Afonso while shooting a film in Portugal in 1987.~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

5 Stocks Insiders Are Jumping Into
Bank of America
A global banking giant that insiders are loading up on here is Banks of America (BAC), which provides various banking and financial products and services to individual consumers, small-and middle-market businesses, institutional investors, corporations, and governments in the U.S. and internationally. Insiders are buying this stock into some major strength, with shares up 45% so far in 2012.
Bank of America has a market cap of $87.4 billion and an enterprise value of $145.98 billion. This stock trades at a cheap valuation, with a forward price-to-earnings of 8.03. Its estimated growth rate for this next quarter is -71.4%, and for next year it's pegged at 71.2%. This is far from a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $643.88 billion and its total debt is $701.83 billion. After you back out the cash, Bank of America has a total of $57.95 billion in total debt on its books.A director just bought 482,794 shares, or around $3.55 million worth of stock, at $7.36 per share. >>5 Big Financial Stocks to Buy in June From a technical perspective, BAC is currently trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock just started to trigger a near-term breakout since shares have moved above some overhead resistance at $7.90, and above its 50-day moving average of $7.78 a share. This move is pushing BAC within range of triggering another near-term breakout trade. If you're bullish on BAC, then I would look for long-biased trades once this stock breaks out above some near-term overhead resistance at $8.39 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that registers near or above its three-month average volume of 223 million shares. If we get that action soon, then look for BAC to re-test and possibly take out its next significant overhead resistance levels at $9.17 to $10.09 a share. Keep in mind, that traders can also buy BAC and anticipate the breakout as long as it's trending above its 50-day with strong volume. I would simply avoid BAC or look for short-biased trades if it fails to trigger that breakout, and then drops back below its 50-day moving average of $7.78 a share with high volume. A high-volume move below that level would setup BAC to re-test and possibly take out its 200-day moving average of $7.17 a share. Bank of America, which shows up on a list of 5 Bank Stocks Wilting Under the Summer Sun, was also featured recently in " 5 Breakout Stocks to Buy on This Bounce."

Book Review: "The King" by J.R. Ward
"The King" by J.R. Ward
4 stars
Long live the King…
After turning his back on the throne for centuries, Wrath, son of Wrath, finally assumed his father's mantle–with the help of his beloved mate. But the crown sets heavily on his head. As the war with the Lessening Society rages on, and the threat from the Band of Bastards truly hits home, he is forced to make choices that put everything–and everyone–at risk.
Beth Randall thought she knew what she was getting into when she mated the last pure blooded vampire on the planet: An easy ride was not it. But when she decides she wants a child, she's unprepared for Wrath's response–or the distance it creates between them.
The question is, will true love win out… or tortured legacy take over?
This book was one of the most anticipated book for this year and I wanted to read like crazy! I know I rated with 4 stars, but I need to explain myself for this rating. This was supposed to be another Wrath-Beth story but that wasn't the case. I believe that the secondary stories had more scenes than the main couple! So, I believe that this book has two parts: the first one that is about Wrath and Beth that I gave 5 stars and the other with all the others that I gave 3 stars, and that's why my final rating is 4 stars.
Wrath is having difficult time. Too many people want him to lose the throne and they found as an excuse his love for Beth. At the same time, it's obvious that Beth wants a baby and Wrath is scared of losing her. Soon, Wrath, will learn what is truly important in his life and he'll find a new meaning.
I always loved Wrath, but in this book, I loved him even more! He realized more things about himself and what he had to do in order to be happy. He lived a life wanting to be like his father and that's why he was living under much pressure. In this story, he had something like epiphany and faced his fears.
Beth's amazing! She's a great wife and she proved that she can think like a queen. She also proved that she's a fighter and that she doesn't quit easily. Her love for Wrath is beyond words and she helped him find himself in the midst of many difficulties.
A big surprise in this story, was the fact that the author decided to give us some flashbacks from Wrath's parents! I think that reading about them, made me understand Wrath better!
I won't say anything about the other characters that have a part in this book. Really, why there were so many pages for Trez, Selena, Assail, Sola, Xcor and Layla is beyond me! I am not saying that I don't find interesting their relationships, but I believe that there were too many information that they weren't related with the main story!
Nevertheless, I enjoyed this book very much and it was good to see Wrath and Beth again! The world-building becomes more complicated with each installment and that is something that I like because I don't know what to expect! If you are a fan of this genre, I recommend the whole series!

Washington, DC —The 181st meeting of the National Council on the Arts, the advisory body to the National Endowment for the Arts, will take place on Friday, March 28, 2014 from 9:00–11:30 a.m. EDT in room M-09 of The Nancy Hanks Center, 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC. The public is invited to attend in person or to watch a live webcast at arts.gov. The webcast will be archived afterwards and available in the Open Government section of the NEA's website.
Following the application and guidelines review and voting by the council, NEA Acting Chairman Joan Shigekawa will give an overview of recent Arts Endowment activities. The program will then continue with discussions by two NEA grantees: New York's Second Stage Theatre and Arizona's Grand Canyon Music Festival.
In fiscal year 2014, Second Stage Theatre received an NEA Art Works grant to support the New York premiere of Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Quiara Alegría Hudes' The Happiest Song Plays Last, the last in her trilogy of plays. Joining Hudes for the discussion will be the theater's artistic and associate artistic directors, Carole Rothman and Christopher Burney, respectively, as well as Armando Riesco, who has performed in each of the plays that make up the trilogy, including the current Second Stage production.
Also a recent NEA grantee, the Grand Canyon Chamber Music Festival receives NEA support for the Native American Composer Apprenticeship Project, which pairs students from Navajo and Hopi reservation high schools with composers-in-residence to create original works, which are then performed by a professional quartet. Clare Hoffman, artistic director of the Grand Canyon Chamber Music Festival will be joined by two of the programs graduates, Russell Goodluck and Celeste Lansing, for the discussion.
About the National Council on the Arts
The National Council on the Arts convenes three times per year to vote on funding recommendations; to advise the chairman on application guidelines, the budget, and policy and planning directions; and to recommend to the president nominees for the National Medal of Arts.
Including the acting chairman, there are 17 members: Bruce Carter, Aaron Dworkin, Lee Greenwood, Deepa Gupta, Paul Hodes, Joan Israelite, Maria Rosario Jackson, Emil J. Kang, Charlotte Kessler, María López De León, Rick Lowe, David "Mas" Masumoto, Irvin Mayfield, Jr., Barbara Ernst Prey, Ranee Ramaswamy, and Olga Viso. There are also six ex-officio members from Congress: Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and U.S. Representatives Betty McCollum (D-MN) and Patrick J. Tiberi (R-OH). Appointment by majority and minority leadership of the remaining two members of Congress to the Council is pending.
About the National Endowment for the Arts
The National Endowment for the Arts was established by Congress in 1965 as an independent agency of the federal government. To date, the NEA has awarded more than $4 billion to support artistic excellence, creativity, and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities.

A new bridge has two major advantages over a renovation project, French said. It would be cheaper and it would allow for continued traffic flow.
Because of its construction type, French said, the current bridge can't be repaired one lane at a time. It would have to be renovated while closed.
"Closing that bridge would create a state of emergency," French said. "We have shared emergency services across the lake, not to mention the economic impact."
A temporary "military-style" bridge could be used during a renovation project, he said. That would interfere with lake traffic, though.
Public information meetings will be scheduled during the project's design phase to provide an opportunity for community input.
The public can comment on the project by emailing r01-lakechamplainbridge @dot.state.ny.us, writing NYSDOT, Region One Design, 328 State Street, Schenectady 12305, Attn: James C. Boni, P.E., or calling 388-0200.

Dear Mariah Carey,
I've thought long and hard about writing this letter, and to be honest, I'm still not convinced it's the best idea. After all, you're not exactly the most "stable" person in music, and, well, I've had enough crazy in my life to know when I shouldn't be messing with crazy. Nevertheless, crazy chicks are freaky chicks, and God knows, I love me a freaky chick. You know, just as long as they don't go all nutty like a candy bar on me like you did on Eminem. I mean, really, were you surprised when he played your voice-mails live? If anything's going to happen between us, do I have to worry about you writing "Clown II"?
Then again, it's that nuttiness that draws me to you. Not that I want to find a dead rabbit boiling on my stove, but the fact that you'd do such a thing is... it's kind of hot not as hot as your body, mind you, but hot. By the way, where did you get that body? Back in the day, you used to be this cute, virginal thing completely asexual outside of my fantasies. Now, you ooze sex. I bet you sweat sex it's like some kind of pheromone to you. The Emancipation of Mimi? That sounds like code for "I want to get freaky." And sometimes, I swear you're singing directly to me.
But I'm confused. I mean, I like you and I want to get to "know" you better. But do we really belong together? I can't say for sure yet. That's a decision that requires a lot more alone time. So how about if we vacation together just you, me, and your wardrobe? I doubt you need more than a carry-on since everything you own couldn't collectively clothe a family of dwarfs. If our boat sank and we were stranded on an island together with nothing but your wardrobe to protect us from the elements, we'd have maybe half a tent. But that's all right. I know you might be battier than the Batcave, but maybe, just maybe, you're the right kind of crazy for me. So let's give this a shot, Mariah.
Yours, possibly,
Cole Haddon
P.S.: I forgive you for Glitter. Really. Mariah Carey performs with special guest Busta Rhymes at 8 p.m. Saturday, August 5, at American Airlines Arena, 601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami. Tickets cost $17.50 to $127.50. Visit www.ticketmaster.com.

Why not just go ahead and make the 1 iron again?

Ping releases Rapture driving iron
Talk about good timing for a club release.
Ping's new prototype "Rapture" driving iron will be available to golfers this week at the British Open and the PGA Tour's Sanderson Farms Championship.
The move makes sense, as many British Open contestants decide to swap out their 5 woods and hybrids for clubs that offer lower trajectories such as driving irons.
According to a Ping press release, the Rapture driving irons have faces that are made from 455 Carpenter Steel: a strong metal that is used to make the faces of many of today's high-COR fairway woods.
"455 Carpenter Stainless Steels' high strength allowed designers to thin the face to create faster ball speeds," the press release said. "Thinning the face increased discretionary mass, which was then re-positioned low and back on the club head."
The Rapture is also designed with high-density tungsten weights in the rear portion of the sole. According to Ping, the weights account for a sizable 20 percent of the entire club head's mass, and their low, rearward position boosts the Rapture's moment of inertia (MOI) and perimeter weighting, adding forgiveness on mishits.
The sole of the club also includes what Ping calls a "Tungsten Polymer Blend Sole Weight," a screw-in weight that adds even more mass into the club's sole. It helps decrease spin and can be used to fine tune swing weight.
Technical specifications:
- 17-4 stainless steel body, 455 stainless steel face
- Tungsten heel and toe weights
- 39.75-inch length, 18-degree head
- Foggy-chrome finish
- Stock graphite shaft: TFC 949 with chrome PVD finish (R, S, X flexes)

Last season I was frustrated with my inconsistency with using rescue clubs in the fairway on my second or third shot. Since I was constant with my irons I figured I would give the Ping 2 Iron a chance and it paid off HUGE. It took at least 5 strokes off my game. I look forward to hitting my second shot on all par 4 and 5 when I am around 200 yards out. The slower and smoother I swing the straighter and longer I hit this club. Trust me, put your rescue clubs up for sale and buy this 2 iron. You won't regret it. I actually went out last week and ordered a second one to put it away so in 4 or 5 years from now I will have a new one to replace my current one. I don't want to take the risk Ping changes or stops making this iron someday. Thank you Ping for solving my inconstant play.
Good afternoon all,
I have to say that I am excited to test this out though I am partial to the Answer 2 Hybrid (stupid long), but if this performs better (launch angle)I will be putting in my order.
The real reason for my post is that the word on the street is that there will be a Rapture 3 wood at 14.5deg which is slightly oversized. has anyone else heard about this and if so do you happen to know any specs on it. I could be wrong but I was told its going to be a smaller version of the answer driver which would be great off the tee for my game anyways.
Any information on this would be welcome.
this club has wannabe scratch golfer written all over it…how long until 2nd swing has a whole rack of them? lol
This looks awesome. Hopefully the 2 is a success and we see a 3 and 4 in another few months.
Hope it compares to the titleist utilities by coming out with a 3 & 4. Honestly can't wait to demo this when availble. Any one know if it will be available in any shaft besidea the tfc?
Looking forward to trying this out and potentially replacing the Adams Idea Pro currently in the bag.
anyone compare this vs. the callaway Utility?
Yous guys need to try this club…I can cruuush it 270 in the air!
Looks like they are available at 2nd Swing already…
Ping may even release this Iron in a set 18* & 21* Driving Iron with combo (if so desired). 4 Iron to PW in the new I25 player Irons. Haven for equipment junkies like myself. Also it would help a brother out, alot if less than a grand.
Cheers Jezz
I play the i20′s but I put the callaway 24* x utility in the bag at the first of the season and just added the 18*. Looks like I will be sending those to the BST or the ebay. Can't wait. I actually have a close friend who is a ping staffer (web.com) and he said they are more forgiving than his s56 irons. To bad he doesn't live near me for me to try and he wont risk losing his contract by having one magically appear at my front door (I totally understand why he cant). It doesn't hurt to dream. I will keep dreaming until january when they will be retail.
Ill be getting that I think. I cant hit a hybrid that well but pretty good w/ long irons…… well see!
I wonder if the next Ping blade will look like a slimmer, narrowing version of this? I love the back of it.
Not a big fan of these utility irons.
IMO they look ugly at address.
Very very nice, Ill put one in my bag if they release a 19-22* version, This actually reminds me more of the Yonex Zero driving iron with a Callaway style weight in the bottom. The only thing i wonder is how is it going to feel with that HARD face on slight miss-hits. I have a 20* old school Nike Pro combo utility in the bag right now.
ping copying callaway…that's a new one!
My buddy had a Mizuno driving iron in 97. Who's copying who?
I hope you're just kidding around lol. If not, you've been under a rock for a very long time or are new to golf. I suspect the latter.
I have the cally x utility in 18 with GDesign shaft. It's pretty fantastic off the tee. If I were playing Muirfield this week and were a Ping Staffer, this would be solidly in the centre of the bag!!!! Go G-Mac!
golf club makers exec meeting"
okay, here is the plan, first we tell golfers to buy fairway woods to replace hard to hit irons…then we tell them that hybrids are the way to go..easier to hit than fairway woods…then we wait a bit…then tell them we now have driving irons that they have to have because hybrids go too high….
Thats not what any manufacturer is saying about driving irons… They have all maintained, rightly so, that these are a specialty item for the better player/high ball hitter.
I'll take a 24* Mr. Solheim… Yellow dot.
Looks very similar to the Titleist 712U…could be a great addition to my i20s in the future
Looks like an AP2 and the X Utility got together in Phoenix.
From a sole and address perspective, that looks a lot like the X utilities from Callaway.
+1 looks identical from top view to the Cally…which I didn't really hit well, so it's almost instant "pass on it"
Good looking, but will not dethrone my Mizzy H4 2 iron (IMHO)!
Fact. 270 yards of straightness. No need to hit driver 320 anymore.
you need?
ME need
left handed, PLEASE
I love the guys who beg PING to release lefty versions… When was the last time ANY Ping club in ANY loft/style was not made for us southpaws?? I dont know of ANY in my lifetime.
Sorry i didn't research their entire company history prior to my post. I will do better next time.

DGA President's Google Slam Ignored by Media
When Taylor Hackford (pictured), the elected leader of the Directors Guild of America, points the video piracy finger at Google, it should be a bigger story than the dribble that came out of Wednesday's Entertainment Content Protection Summit at the Universal Hilton. Part of the reason for the muted coverage, ironically, is that the event was co-presented by Variety, which threw up several articles about the event behind its new pay wall.
Per this throwaway mention in the LA Times, the media imprint of Hackford's keynote is virtually non-existent. This despite the fact that Hackford pegged the annual aggregate cost of piracy at $25 billion.
Said Hackford during his speech:
"Google is making money through [its] search engine with these [download] sites. We've got to be able to say [to Google], 'You are facilitating illegal activity'… No business model we create can compete with free."
Separately, Hackford told Variety reporter Ted Johnson that people within the industry, from directors all the way down to craft service, do not understand "just how serious" the current threat of video piracy is. This week's media coverage likely did little to change that.
