"We need to put our foot down about that," Glaser says. "Let's say a magazine wants to do their own photos of you. They bring in a stylist and try to dress you up like little dolls and put their own kind of makeup on you. Since we're new to this, we go in and let them do it. And then the magazine comes out and we see the pictures, and we're like, `Fuck this. This is not what we look like at all. This makes us look like a bunch of asswipes.'"
Accurate musical portraits of Glaser and cohorts (bassist/vocalist Jill Cunniff, keyboardist Vivian Trimble and drummer Kate Schellenbach) are equally hard to come by. Because some of the band's vocals are spoken or chanted rather than sung, for example, various critics have dubbed Luscious Jackson a rap band. Glaser calls this description "irritating, because it's always mixed in with this white-girl thing. It's like, `Wow, she's a girl. And she's white. And she raps. She's in a white-girl rap band.' It's that or they call us the female Beastie Boys, which isn't true, either."
The Beastie comparisons are impossible to avoid. The Luscious Jackson players have been friends with the Boys for years, having grown up together in the same New York-area neighborhood. Schellenbach even served as the Beasties' first percussionist during the days when the band was more into punk than funk. More recently, Luscious Jackson signed to the Grand Royal imprint, overseen by, yes, the Beastie Boys. "It's a good thing, being on their label," Glaser admits. "They give us a lot of creative freedom and trust us to do what we want to do."
For the most part, the connection ends there. In Search of Manny is no clone of the Beasties' raucous, wild, spacy style; rather, it's a casual amalgam of sounds that touches plenty of bases without staying on any of them for long. The disc's lead track, "Let Yourself Get Down," sports a handful of samples and spoken/rapped vocals, but strangely melodic singing also drifts in and out of the sonic stew. "Life of Leisure" is even weirder, an atmospheric jazz/funk mood piece, while "Bam-Bam" and "Satellite" (the only cuts on the EP featuring Schellenbach's live drumming) catch a rock-pop groove that's seductive but never capitulates to girl-group stereotypes.
The result of this aggregation of influences is varied and ambitious. Glaser, however, insists that the group achieved this musical success mostly by accident. "I don't know if we ever thought consciously that we were doing something new," she says. "We were just happy how it came out. We experimented with a lot of samples--that was really exciting--and then we'd play live over it. It was amazing to us that you could take sounds from five different records, tiny snippets, and make something totally different out of them."
The rough, unpolished quality of the EP is no studio trick: The majority of the tunes on Manny are demo recordings that Glaser says she and Cunniff doubted would ever be heard outside their apartments. "The first three songs, especially, we never thought would be on a record," she notes. "But [Beastie Boy] Mike D listened to them and said, `Cool. Let's put that out. It's good enough.'"
Indeed it was. The independently pressed and issued EP quickly gained enough attention from fans and the media to convince Capitol Records, the Beasties' distributor, to rerelease Manny nationally in 1993. It proved to be a good decision; the disc was named best EP of last year in the annual Pazz and Jop poll conducted by the Village Voice. Clearly, Luscious Jackson needed to hit the road to capitalize on this kind of attention, even though it had never been a band in the strictest sense. On the original recording, Trimble and Schellenbach were sidewomen, rather than bandmembers, and, Glaser adds, "I started playing guitar when I was really young, but I never thought I'd have the guts to play in front of people."
She found a way. The quartet wound up on tours with Bettie Seveert, Urge Overkill and the Breeders, charming audiences with an ultra-relaxed stage demeanor and goofy cheerleader-rejects choreography. And this summer Luscious is part of the Lollapalooza festival's second stage. Glaser says she doesn't feel slighted by this assignment: "We're just happy to be there. I guess you can't play the main stage until you've arrived, and if arriving means you've sold a whole lot of records, we haven't yet."
In the meantime Luscious is preparing for the August 23 release of Natural Ingredients, its first full-length album. A pre-release three-song sampler of the recording finds the group taking a logical step forward lyrically and musically. "City Song" is a slinky, insinuating conglomeration of rap, jazz and who knows what built around Cunniff's lazy, cogent observations; "Deep Shag" is a catchy number that's as close to radio-friendly as this act has yet come; and "Energy Sucker" is a spare, surprisingly nasty soul track. Slick it's not. "We like things to seem a little more immediate," Glaser concedes. "We like the sounds of records--actual vinyl records--over any completely clean, CD-like precision. We like a little grime."

This is a discussion on What's worse? The antis or the uneducated? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by archer51 Definitely the anti's are worst.

So much of the anti-gun position is the old double standard. It's that attitude that they can defend themselves, but we're not capable of doing so. The example that comes to mind is the North Carolina State Senator that has been anti-gun his entire career, and last Dec. he shot an intruder in his house. (Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder - Smart Girl Politics) It's that "don't do as I do but do as I say" kind of thinking that touches me off. I have much more respect for an anti-gunner that is true to his beliefs than to these hypocritical Anti's. The Rosie O'donnell theory of anti-gun, but yet she has Armed bodyguards. OK for her to be safe...shes famous.
"The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it".
Thomas Jefferson
Uneducated people can be educated. People with an agenda are dangerous.

No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
He pretends to be anti? He isn't very educated then if he is pro gun but writes anti just for better ratings. If he is really pro gun he would be educated enough to realize he is only hurting those that aren't antis.
Neither is worse than the willfully ignorant.
I have never really met or known many people who grew up around guns or watching the old time western movies who were totally anti-gun. The few who were seemed mostly afraid of the noise associated with firing a hand gun. I could relate to deep philosophical feelings against taking another human life but most dedicated anti's simply cannot give a coherent reason for their belief's. Politicians don't count because, as everybody knows, they are hypocrites when it comes to doing as they say but not as they do, ditto Hollywood icons. So what is the most common explanation by the anti's? Ex: My mother/father was scared by a gun. I was scared by a gun. I heard of someone who was scared by a gun.
OP: In my mind I can visualize you having the same conversation with her about using Bounce fabric softener sheets in the dryer:
Lima: I like to use dryer sheets to soften my clothes.
Grandma: I just don't feel comfortable putting those things in my dryer.
Lima: But Grandma, they're just as effective and they're way more convenient that liquid fabric softener.
Grandma: I suppose... but I just don't feel comfortable putting those things in my dryer.
Lima: And it's a big advantage that the kids can't drink them by mistake, like they can with liquid fabric softener.
Grandma: Well that's a good thing... but I just can't see putting those things in my dryer.
In the heat of the moment, what matters is what your body knows -- not what your mind knows.
you can't use rational persuasion to change a persons mind on something they didn't use rational thought to reach their opinion.
"Was there no end to the conspiracy of irrational prejudice against Red Ryder and his peacemaker?"
Revolvers, more elegant weapons for a more civilized age.
How would Grandma feel if you said there were NO laws to regulate guns? If you said to her "anyone can have a gun including a felon. You can have guns any place any time and buy as many as you want."
I have been called an anti on this site for suggesting we retain the same laws that you have mentioned to your grandmother that verify responsible behavior.
You will never get everyone to like guns but having the regulations you mention will give grandma some piece of mind and will not hurt gun owners one bit.

|Sometimes over fertilization causes this, another thing that could cause this is not enough nitrogen. What's your schedule of fertilizing? What are the NPK ratios?

|Underwatering hasn't looked like that in any of my plants.
With peppers, the plants wilt and leaves hang down until dropping.
With such dark green foliage, I wouldn't guess a nutrient deficiency. Will wait for the answers Mark's questions.

|I fertilize pretty liberally with Miracle Grow liquid all purpose plant food
its 12-4-8
the mix of water and fert is very watered down, probably about half of what it should be.
I also, about a month ago, added a small amount of epson salt.
- Posted by LeafEricson 6 (My Page) on Sat, Feb 23, 13 at 18:20
|thismembername, these plants are clearly over fertilized. They are too young to be suffering from under fertilization plus you stated you do fertilize them. Upward leaf curl with very dark leaves is classic of over fertilization (yes I know that black cuban is suposed to have dark leaves but these are too dark).
I would suggest removing the plant from the soil and soaking the roots in water until clean. Then re-potting and give it a little liquid calcium since calcium is not a nutrient that can move around in a plants like nitrogen and many others.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sun, Feb 24, 13 at 12:46
|I would add a little white vinegar, 1 - 2 teaspoons, to a gallon of water, and then flush the pots. Should help free some of the excess fertilizer salts.

News Source : IHS SPECTRUM Excellence Awards Honor European Industry Leaders
Global award program celebrates first group of 2014 winners for achievement of business objectives through outstanding use of information, analytics and expertise
Thursday, May 1, 2014 8:00 am EDT
Public Company Information:
"From high-level strategy to ground-level tactics, industry leaders are achieving groundbreaking results by basing decisions on the winning combination of critical information, advanced analytics and industry-specific expertise from IHS. We thank our award winners for sharing their stories."
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of information and insight, today announced that seven leading European companies have been selected to receive IHS SPECTRUM Excellence Awards for 2014. This prestigious industry award program spotlights organizations and individuals around the world who make critical decisions and achieve their business goals through innovative use of information, analytics and expertise. The new award winners represent a variety of sectors including energy; automotive; aerospace, defense and security; chemical; technology; and construction.
"Industry leaders are making smart choices and achieving important competitive advantages by leveraging best-in-class market, industry and technical expertise," said Scott Key, IHS president and chief executive officer. "We are proud to take this opportunity to recognize our award winners' outstanding accomplishments and continue supporting their work in the future."
A celebration for 2014 IHS SPECTRUM Excellence Award winners in Europe will be held at the IHS Forum, focused on "Europe's Global Competitiveness: Opportunities & Pathways," in Berlin. Awards will be presented during a dinner banquet on Tuesday, May 13 at 6:30 pm local time.
Established in 2006, this popular IHS award program has recently expanded to honor achievements across a variety of workflows/disciplines including: economics and country risk; environmental, health, safety and sustainability; pricing and purchasing; product design; supply chain and more.
"Every decision matters," said Stephanie Buscemi, IHS senior vice president and chief marketing officer. "From high-level strategy to ground-level tactics, industry leaders are achieving groundbreaking results by basing decisions on the winning combination of critical information, advanced analytics and industry-specific expertise from IHS. We thank our award winners for sharing their stories."
The first IHS SPECTRUM Excellence Award winners for 2014 include:
e2v – Based in the United Kingdom, this global technology provider helped one of its major customers comply with rigorous new conflict-mineral regulations related to 548 electronic components from 60 different companies in the supply chain. By teaming with IHS to meet the customer's urgent request, e2v secured a £1 million contract renewal, avoided a roadblock to future orders and prevented the loss of two months' work by one of its key full-time employees.
Finmeccanica – The Research Department for Italy's leading aerospace, defense and security (AD&S) manufacturer partnered with IHS to support development of business strategies that have contributed to increased profitability in its AD&S business and a rise in exports to 55 percent of total revenues with both defense and civil projects in new high-potential regions. In addition, Finmeccanica worked with IHS to maintain its ranking on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index at the European and World levels.
Maersk Oil – Owned by the world's largest overseas cargo shipping company, this Danish energy company makes expert use of an IHS tool to meet tight deadlines for project bids, eliminating the need for hundreds of hours of manual cost-estimation and saving 75 percent of the time that would be required to ramp up an outside contractor. Decision makers are confident about the estimates' proven accuracy – e.g. one early-stage estimate done in hours was within 10 percent of a detailed analysis that took a week.
Saab AB – Sweden's largest provider of high-tech AD&S solutions supports its successful export strategy by offering all 14,000 employees worldwide the opportunity to access best-in-class market intelligence from IHS – a tenfold increase in the company's user community. Consolidating formerly disparate subscriptions and vendors from five Business Areas has increased efficiency and increased usage of expanded market intelligence resources for greater return on investment.
Tikkurila Oyj – Finland's leading manufacturer of paints for surface protection and decoration standardized the creation of safety data sheets and labelling for more than 2,000 products from four sites in four countries by implementing an IHS software solution. Automating translation into up to 15 languages reduced translation time from one day to less than one minute, lowering costs and risk of errors by eliminating dependence on outside contractors who work manually.
Valeo – This Paris-based, tier-one supplier to the world's leading automakers developed an innovation strategy, supported by IHS information and expertise, that has helped Valeo achieve a series of major benchmarks. Recent successes include ranking among Thomson Reuters 100 Global Innovators for first time and growing Valeo's business in Asia – with original equipment sales in China up 31 percent in 2013, 16 percent higher than the market, the biggest increase in any region.
Willmott Dixon – One of the United Kingdom's largest privately owned construction companies is building stellar quality into its projects by increasing its leverage of construction industry standards information from IHS. With more than 45 percent of staff trained in six months, use of the online standards tool is now three times its prior level. Positive results range from reassuring a customer about a pipe-fitting solution to resolving a subcontractor dispute and saving the company £35,000.
These first seven award winners for 2014 will also be considered as nominees for the annual "Best of the Best" IHS SPECTRUM Excellence Award.
Nominations for the second and final round of IHS SPECTRUM Excellence Awards for 2014 will open starting May 15, 2014. Presentation of all remaining awards for 2014 – including the "Best of the Best" winner – will take place at the IHS Forum in Washington, D.C., in November.
The IHS SPECTRUM Excellence Awards are part of the IHS Customer Recognition Program. For more information, please visit www.IHS.com/SPECTRUM-Awards or contact KC Chartrand, IHS SPECTRUM Excellence Awards Committee Chair, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Anarchist's Constitution
1. There is no Sovereign Immunity. Any Person (or Persons) who commits force, fraud, or trespass against any other Person's life, body, or property is liable for restitution to repair the victim to their original condition.
2. The Right to be left alone is Absolute. Any Person (or Persons) may deny the use of their life, body, or property to anyone else without any necessity to justify the reasons for their denial.
3. There are no exceptions to these 4 rules.
4. These rules being observed,… do whatever you will.
Is this sufficient for an Anarchist society? Probably not,... but I do believe these four rules are necessary for any such society to work. Ayn Rand, and others, have insisted that there are no unchosen duties, except the duty to leave others alone. Progressives insist that this duty alone is not sufficient for any civil society to function. I think most people would agree. The way I would suggest to resolve this conundrum is that when a person reaches an age where they want to be regarded as an adult, they would sign a contract specifying under what standards of criminal and civil law they would agree to be bound by. Also consider that many problems of arbitraging trade agreements and conflicts largely go away today in the face of the Internet and our ubiquitous communication devices.
Try this experiment with a group of people (think of it as a new party game for political junkies). It would help to have a fairly wide diversity of opinions, but this needs some Liberals/Progressives to really spark. Get a White Board and put the suggested Anarchist Constitution on it. Of course there will be objections it can't work. Good! Now you have all you need to get a very interesting discussion going.
Have your Liberal/Progressives participates put up whatever additional duties they believe should be required. Strongly suggest these additional rules should be universal and timeless; ie., not dependent on current circumstances, but, instead, these rules should be reasonable, understandable, and enforceable at any time and place in history. Now here is where it gets fun to be a Libertarian. Remind your audience that these additional rules/duties are only enforceable under THREAT OF VIOLENCE. I know this is always uppermost on Libertarians' minds, but EVERYONE else tends to run past this real fast, pretending it's not important. We know better. Remind folks that they are not going to be the ones enforcing the rules, but instead, it will most often be people they don't know, don't trust, and don't even like. To really clarify this, you might like to explicitly state that it will ALWAYS be those people your audience is most suspicious of who will be enforcing these given rules. You might think of this as a Libertarian thought experiment to put beside (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Theory_of_Justice).
I have always found that reminding people that, first, society's rules require violence to enforce them (Government ain't Santa Clause, it's Freddy Kruger!), and second, they don't get to personally pick who is running their government (often, if not usually, or even always, it will be people you really don't want to be making decisions for you, your family, or anyone else you genuinely care about).
Anyway, I offer this thought experiment for your examination. It's purpose is to help you get the Liberal/Progressive advocate away from simply answering all questions with the maxim, "Sovereignty should be based upon Good Intentions, and that's all you need"! Have Fun! Remember to play nice!
Here is the killer come back... a Libertarian will NEVER initiate violence to get their way; every other political ideology HAS to initiate violence to get their way.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the former AMC star will host and narrate Deadly Affairs for Investigation Discovery. Reportedly, the show "will feature true-life tales of crimes of passion, that lead people down very dark paths." Lucci described the real-life relationships Deadly Affairs will focus on to the AP. "They are deceptive love relationships, love triangles and betrayal that have deadly consequences," Lucci told The AP. "And they end in tragedy." 9 Responses AdamDrake January 13, 2012 And I thought there was nothing lower than hosting an infomercial. Sad. Log in to Reply drewz January 13, 2012 The producers must have "respected" her enough to visit Helmut. Further proof that an actor should never be managed by a family member. Dumb woman. The Alderson kids should take note, especially the talented one who isn't going to GH. Log in to Reply SwanQueen59 January 13, 2012 Maybe she can do a show on the disasterous end of the love affair ABC Daytime and its' deadbeat parent, Disney had in poisoning (and ultimately killing), the relationship it had going with all of our shows. She can incorporate Frons, Phelps, Sweeney (and anybody else who had a hand in this), into the narrative. I think I'm going to be sick… 0:) Log in to Reply david46208 January 13, 2012 Well being a soap star does not translate into the rest of the industry calling you for jobs. In fact most soap actors who try primetime and Hollywood will tell you that when you mention you were on a soap directors think you can't act. So a soap actor has to prove themselves as a "real thespian" all over again. They don't consider over-acting (which is what most actors actually do on soaps) as "real acting." We accept it as soap fans, but in the rest of the acting world where realism is at the utmost importance (unless you are doing slapstick comedy or a Tyler Perry film) they don't take too kindly to it. There are a few daytime actors who brought more realism to their performances, but most (even the good ones) have mastered the art of over-acting to Daytime Emmy gold. Like that sistah who played Maya on GH. When she would say "hello" she acted like she had just lost her momma, daddy and a baby in a car wreck. And she did that no matter what the scene called for. Basically she acted our every scene (even playful ones) like it was a tragedy. Same goes for the actress who plays Abby on Days. She was in that every scene's a tragedy mode too. Everything is not that serious… Log in to Reply eurekasjm January 13, 2012 I see this as a good thing for Mrs. Lucci! First the ID network has some quality shows, it's not like it has pathetic shows like "The Chew" or "The revolution," and second…it keeps Mrs. Lucci in the spotlight. This proves she is not willing to just disappear off of the TV radar. A lot of the soap actors will disappear…never to be seen again…but she is figuring out ways to stay in the spotlight. Good for her! And good for us, her fans, for having a chance to see her continue working in whatever she chooses to do. I for one will be watching just to see her. The show could be total crap (which it won't be because as I said…the ID network has quality shows) but I will still watch to support her. Log in to Reply Ryan-Scott January 13, 2012 I'll be watching. Log in to Reply AdamDrake January 13, 2012 Soap fans will rationalize absolutely anything. Susan Lucci has done sitcoms and prime time series and TV-movies. She should have been able to parlay her talents into something better than this bilge water. She'd be better off retiring than stooping to this sub-level of the entertainment industry. Perhaps there's senior porn… Log in to Reply angrierblackerman January 13, 2012 I'm thrilled to see her again. I think she would be great as a host of a 48 hours type show. This is PERFECT for her in light of her being a soap vixen. And she has money, a long career, fame, etc…she can do whatever the eff she wants at this stage. She probably thinks this is a fun non-typical project…it actually is for her. Log in to Reply lfad January 13, 2012 I enjoy ID well enough, it's been one of the channels I've been tuning into now that I have nothing to watch in the daytime. I don't see anything wrong with Lucci hosting or narrating something on ID, I hear the voices of famous, so-called legit actors on History Channel, ID and other places all the time. Are they lowering themselves? Log in to Reply Leave a Reply Cancel Reply You must be logged in to post a comment.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. House Education & the Workforce Committee adopted a comprehensive proposal to increase the number of American students pursuing advanced math and science studies in higher education.Led by Reps. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA) and Vernon Ehlers (R-MI), Republicans proposed a multi-faceted approach to strengthening American competitiveness by increasing opportunities for students to study math and science. The proposal was included as an amendment to the College Access & Opportunity Act (H.R. 609), Republican higher education reform legislation expected to be approved today by the Committee.
"It is simply unacceptable that America's high school students are struggling to keep up with their industrialized-world peers in the fields of math and science," said McKeon. "This is a serious crisis that we cannot wait to address."
"We must do more now to encourage our young people to pursue careers in these fields, which will not only benefit their future, but the future of our country," added McKeon. "I am pleased we have taken this important step today toward addressing this critical situation, and I am hopeful that we can find more ways to encourage students to enter careers in science and technology in the future."
"This amendment addresses a crisis. As the Committee recently heard from multiple witnesses, U.S. competitiveness depends on the quality of our Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) workforce," said Ehlers. "Careers in these disciplines support the United States in maintaining its leadership in innovation and in ensuring that we can solve challenging problems such as designing new technologies, protecting our nation, and ensuring a strong economy."
"I have consistently advocated for strengthening of math and science education for our current and future workforce, and I am very pleased the Committee has addressed this issue within the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act," added Ehlers.
The proposal builds on the framework of existing federal higher education investments, refocusing a student achievement program, the Byrd Honors Scholarship Program, to better reflect the national priority on increasing the number of American students studying advanced science and mathematics. The proposal includes three distinct approaches to strengthening math and science opportunities for students.
· Math & Science Scholarships: Honors Scholarships would be provided to students pursuing a baccalaureate, masters, or doctoral degree in physical, life, or computer sciences, mathematics, and engineering.
· Student Loan Relief: Up to $5,000 in student loan interest would be paid on behalf of individuals with degrees in science or mathematics who serve as teachers or other professionals in the fields.
· Improved Coordination at the State & Local Level: States would receive grants to better coordinate and implement reforms that improve mathematics and science education as well as activities that lead to better teacher recruitment and training and increased student academic achievement.
For more information on Republican efforts to strengthen American competitiveness and expand college access for low- and middle-income students, visit the Education & the Workforce Committee website at http://edworkforce.house.gov/issues/109th/education/hea/hea.htm.

Bandelion is Eric Kupers' ensemble within Dandelion Dancetheater, that exists somewhere in between the constructs of band, performance ensemble, dance company, tribe, extended family, research team, gang of misfits, and legion of artistic missionaries.
Bandelion is a group of dancers, actors, musicians, and designer/technicians, all collaborators in the creation process. Also diverse in terms of size, age, sexual orientation, ability/disability, and cultural background, these artists are dedicated to in-depth research into the ways in which their multifarious backgrounds and artistic forms intersect.
Built collaboratively both over intensive rehearsal periods and in spontaneous gatherings, Bandelion's works are both performative and an expression of community ritual. Performances dismantle the distinction between artist and ordinary person, inviting the audience to both see themselves reflected in and become a part of the experience of live art.
Bandelion began in 2006 when Kupers called together dance, music and theater artists to spend a year of intensive interdisciplinary investigation which culminated in the evening-length work Drop.
Since then the ensemble has been working almost non-stop to delve deeper and deeper into interdisciplinary exploration through cross-training, rehearsing, performing, teaching, writing, recording, filming, staging public performance spectacles and touring.

Mark Madoff: Back In The Game!By Bess Levin
A few months ago there was a tear-jerker of a story about unemployed Americans having difficulty finding new jobs. It highlighted two in particular, who'd been out of work for over a year, due to the shuttering of their company. Their names were Mark and Andy Madoff and they were having a real tough go of it lately. Nobody wanted to hire them out of fear they'd stink up the place with the smell of fish. And, you know, the taint of their former employer. It was depressing as shit, and Mark had taken to crying during interviews. Recently, Andy, along with his girlfriend Catherine Hooper, started a 'disaster recovery firm,' the goal of which is to help people get their affairs in order in the event of a crisis, be it natural or the kind that comes at the hands of a small dick, like losing everything to a Ponzi scheme (just a for instance!). Then there was Mark, who had all but given up asking people to keep him in mind for jobs on a trading desk or in trading technology. By this point even the fish were gently suggesting he pack it in– but the little Madoff that could would not be defeated. And finally, his persistence has been rewarded!
No one's hired the guy (be serious), so he's decided to do his own thang: last Friday, Mark informed colleagues and friends via email that he's "creating a small research boutique…one of the projects will a news round-up that captures stories from most major publications." For those interested in a piece of this, the firm will be called Strategic Research (which: might chap the hides of those with similar names not looking to be mistaken for Bernie's second in command). Personally, I wasn't particularly dying to know more but since I had nothing better to do and there was no info the website, I took a walk over to the address listed at the bottom of the email. I actually got sort of excited at the prospect of coming face to face with Mr. M in the two blocks between Dealbreaker and SR's respective headquarters, which was unfortunate for me, as 319 Lafayette Street, #203? Is a UPS store where Mark has a box. Luckily was able to shake off the disappointment by continuing to drink more, but M2M needs your help. Sign up today and let's get him into a proper office space. If you don't do it for yourself, just do it for the laughs (not because this is a joke– just assuming there's going to be a daily knock-knock).

Bess – I had such a good time with you that I became a voracious reader of, and commenter to, this site.
As it no longer works but maybe 5% of the time, I'm afraid I will have to end this pseudo-stalker relationship you and I have developed. It's too bad, too, because all weekend I tried to post comments inviting you for a personal Zamboni ride.
Much Love,
Hey – I have never seen a website that removes actual words from sentences – rendering them basically incomprehsible! Congrats!
@5 welcome, mark madoff!
mark madoff@5 what's incomprehensible about this? you, douchebag, think that there are people out there who will actually still want to do business with you. and your office = a ups box. it all seems pretty clear.
"one of the projects will a news round-up that captures stories from most major publications"
I will be interested to see how this novel idea pans out.
@AB agreed.
capturin news stories from major pubs? Hmm, u mean you plan to steal and dissemenate proprietary info – don't think so! Best, one of your former traders!

Nick Scholl does a horrendous job with the Dealbreaker website. So many error messages when you try to post anything, including "you're posting comments too quickly" when I haven't posted even one. Great job, Nick. Keep it up, you incompetent.
This P.O.S. needs to see the inside of a prison cell for many years, along with his P.O.S. brother, their P.O.S. uncle, Bernie's brother, Peter, and Peter's ho-bag of a daughter, Shana, who was complicit in this scheme along with Bernie, Peter, Mark, Andrew, Frank DiPascali and others. It's more than a little obvious to me, especially after Harry Markopolos's testimony about how forcefully he tried to get the SEC to investigate goings-on at the Lipstick building, that the SEC watchdogs were lining their proverbial pockets with bribes or worse–actual cuts of the pie–when they deliberately elected to look the other way even as they were provided with strong evidence that they should be investigating Madoff's scheme. It's no secret that the US Government is corrupt–not by design of course, only by the dishonest deeds that many of its members commit. There's no chance that the other Madoffs had no idea what was going on. Bernie admits that no trades were made, and yet Uday and Qusay…errr, I mean Mark and Andrew had one function at the firm–THEY WERE IN CHARGE OF TRADING!!!!! HELLO!!!!!????? Are we, the American people, and some of us the victims of the scheme, actually supposed to accept the notion that two men whose jobs were to RUN the trading aspect of Madoff's firms did not realize that their trades were not being made? Preposterous. It disturbs me that some of the players in this scheme have the audacity to behave as though people are too stupid to realize this. Or, perhaps they don't. Perhaps they are simply laughing in our faces, a bit like Peter Madoff, as he drives around in his expensive European cars and rattles around in his Garden City mansion–the former CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER for his brother, Bernie's, firm. Of course, how could a chief compliance officer know what is going on? Puhleeze. There is enough government guilt to stretch to the sun in this one, folks. Some "G" level people have become rich sniffing the Madoffs' collective skivvies over the last decades, and they are independent enough to know that they're going to get away with it. America–what a joke it has become. I wonder if Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, Madison and their lot ever dreamed of an America such as this. Families—your kids are in middle eastern countries risking life and limb not for the America you knew but for the America this country has become. I worry for you, that you may lose the loves of your life for imperial ventures that have nothing whatsoever to do with maintaining our democracy but rather for furthering the greedy, avaricious desires of people in our government–the same kinds of people who made their deals with the Madoffs and allowed Bernie to take the fall so that his family could enjoy many more years of luxury and comfort at the expense of innocent investors, many of whom have already lost everything including their homes, life savings and futures, while Mark, Andrew, Shana, Peter and other Madoff loyalists summer in Nantucket. What a country.
The sarcastic sanctimony of this piece makes me sick.
By the way, whoever is responsible for this space autocompletes email addresses to a fucking dictionary.
Mark was a great person and a great friend.
wonder if bess is still having a good giggle

Spiritual Gifts: Teaching
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers... (1 Corinthians 12:27-28 NIV) If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach... (Romans 12:7 NIV)
The Spiritual Gift of Teaching Defined
The gift of teaching is the God-given ability to understand and communicate biblical truth in a clear and relevant manner so that there is understanding and application.
People with the Gift of Teaching
Learning, researching, communicating, and illustrating truth are qualities that an individual will manifest when exercising the gift of teaching. These people enjoy studying and learning new information, and find great joy in sharing it with others. The format of teaching varies from one-on-one discipleship to formal classes, informal Bible studies, large groups, and preaching, which is a form of teaching.
Teaching in Jesus' Ministry
Throughout the gospels, Jesus was commonly referred to as Rabbi, which means "teacher." Matthew 4:23 says that "Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching," and Matthew 7:28-29 says that "the crowds were amazed at his [Jesus'] teaching because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law."
Teaching in Scripture
Aquila and Priscilla (Acts 18:26), Paul (Acts 19:8-10; 20:20; Colossians 1:28; 1 Timothy 2:7), elders/pastors (1 Timothy 3:2; 5:17), Timothy (1 Timothy 4:11,13; 6:2), and godly women (Titus 2:2-4) all demonstrated the gift of teaching.
Do You Have This Gift?
- Do you enjoy studying and researching?
- Do you enjoy imparting biblical truth to others?
- Do others come to you for insight into Scripture?
- When you teach, do people "get it"?
- When you see someone confused in their understanding of the Bible do you feel a responsibility to speak to them about it?
- Do you enjoy speaking to various sizes of groups about biblical issues you have strong convictions about?

Chelsea fans will love Fernando Torres again - Benitez
Rafael Benitez predicts Chelsea's fans will fall back in love with Fernando Torres again.
Torres was hailed as the club's saviour when he arrived at Stamford Bridge two years ago for a whopping £50million fee, but he has struggled to live up to even the most mild expectations.
Part of the reason behind Benitez's appointment as Blues interim boss was to get the striker back to his best, but despite a slight improvement, Torres still looks a shadow of the hitman who tore the best defences in Europe apart while at Anfield.
Chelsea's fans had been patient with Torres up until Wednesday night, when he was sarcastically applauded off after 81 minutes following a poor display in which he touched the ball just 19 times and barely threatened the Swansea goal.
Benitez, who revealed today that illness had prompted Torres' poor performance, still thinks the former Atletico Madrid hitman can win the Blues faithful round, though.
"The fans loved Torres when he was scoring and giving everything," Benitez told a press conference.
"They will love him again when he starts scoring goals again. They will appreciate the effort."
Chelsea's supporters had called for the introduction of Ba, who scored twice on debut at Southampton last Saturday, for almost the entire second half on Wednesday, but he did not come on until nine minutes were left.
Benitez revealed today he had delayed bringing Ba on as he was struggling with a hamstring injury. The Spaniard also confirmed Torres had been struggling with a stomach bug prior to kick-off, which explains his poor showing against the Swans.
"He (Torres) had a bug, a virus and needed tablets from the club doctor," Benitez said.
"The other day he was sick on the bench (at Southampton). That was why he didn't play.
"He is feeling better now but he had the problem for a week or more. He was trying (against Swansea).
"He was there and making an effort just in case. Fernando concentrated on trying to do his job (despite his illness) and that is the sign of a great character."
Given Benitez's history with Liverpool, the 52-year-old was never going to get an easy ride from the Blues fans.
Yet the level of jeering towards Benitez, and the club's hierarchy for refusing to offer Frank Lampard a new deal, remains strong seven weeks into his reign.
The former Liverpool manager, who has also had to deal with constant speculation he will be replaced by Pep Guardiola when his contract expires in the summer, admits he is not a fan of the cat-calling from the stands.
"I would prefer them to support the manager and the players. But that's the way it is," he said.
"I remember Petr Cech saying he can't listen to anything. The (players) just concentrate on the game."
Some reports claimed the defeat to Swansea has accelerated Roman Abramovich's desire to appoint Guardiola in June, but Benitez insists he has not been affected by the speculation.
"I don't think about that," he said. "I signed a contract here and have to do my best to improve the team.
"When I finished the game (on Wednesday) I went straight to the dressing room, as I have for the last 25 years, and I was then thinking about the injuries, the problems we had and our next game against Stoke.
"Yesterday I stayed late to watch the Under-21s play. I will try to win and do my best for the team and the club.
"I am enjoying it."
One crumb of comfort for Benitez is that he now has captain John Terry available after a two-month absence.
The 32-year-old played 45 minutes of the club's under-21 game against Fulham yesterday and is in the squad for tomorrow's game at the Britannia Stadium, although he is likely to start on the bench.
"He has been training today and he is in the squad," Benitez said.
"He can't start yet but he's available.
"It's always important to have someone who has character at any time. He is an important player for us."
The other bit of good news emerging from the treatment room is that Petr Cech could feature tomorrow after making good progress with his recovery from a groin problem.

Product description
Designed to be read as narrative and also to be dipped into for inspiration, encouragement and consolation, The Good Book offers a thoughtful, non-religious alternative to the many people who do not follow one of the world's great religions. Instead, going back to traditions older than Christianity, and far richer and more various, including the non-theistic philosophical and literary schools of the great civilisations of both West and East, from the Greek philosophy of classical antiquity and its contemporaneous Confucian, Mencian and Mohist schools in China, down through classical Rome, the flourishing of Indian and Arab worlds, the European Renaissance and Enlightenment, the worldwide scientific discoveries of the 19th and 20th centuries to the present, Grayling collects, edits, rearranges and organises the collective secular wisdom of the world in one highly readable volume. Contents: Genesis Proverbs Histories Songs Wisdom Acts The Lawgiver Lamentations Concord Consolations Sages The Good Parables

Best Famous Poems
When my spirit was fogged in gloom
After i impacted concrete; like a lead balloon
It lifted my strength as i started to write
Of a beautiful girls toy; on its maiden flight
Intended for a contest by souper trouper P D
But i wrote it wrong in "form" if you look you'll see...)
Yet on its immersion in "the soup" i felt satisfied
It seemed to numb the pain; i had been feeling inside
Its not winning or losing while on "the soup"
Though neither string bean; or minestrone (i feel) in "the loop"
There are many places to spend a while,
But the "draw" for me is "the soups" unique flavor & style
It has content..) that's peaceful, stimulating," its fine"
Yet words versus" its essence is exercising my mind,
Let its writers and their themes be the answer to why
I extol "the soups" virtue; that's my definitely my very best try..!
Copyright Joe Maverick 2012
in support of Carol Browns what you love about "the soup"
amended 19 02 2012.
Restrained flow of ink expressed from a dusty pen,
to the faded paper creased like a wave in an angry sea,
tucked inside a tattered notebook,
closed until another bittersweet day when the golden sun will rise.
Minds eye reflects,
to the thoughts that travel through endless days,
until the pen reconnects with the delighted literary soul.
Ears listening to only their lies,
And their lies speaking only to them,
Trying to be quiet yet still screaming,
Drowning in rants never heard,
So concise but not too clear,
Imprisoned in thoughts of obsession,
Muttering useless ancient literary rules,
In love with yet hating poetic expressions,
Foreign to their limited constrained imaginations,
Trapped behind walls of old thought,
Grasping yet never holding reality,
While visions of punctuation and conformity crowd their tiny unexpanded
Judging without thinking one step ahead,
Thinking thoughts that kill their judgement,
Still their bodies move forward to nowhere,
Their voices the only sound left to comfort them,
Unaware of love just beneath their windows,
Desolation blinds their desperate micro-management brains,
In pathetic awe of ancient written rules,
Never really meant for ones of their ilk,
For they were penned for poets of consciousness,
Aware their times and rules would surely end,
Were never truly meant for all the centuries,
Suffocating in the dust of a past they never lived,
Afraid of new ideas of written expression,
Created from the minds of what they fear most,
Free thinking writers unafraid of literary change,
And still,
They talk and talk and talk, saying absolutely nothing.

Being built from its foundation into tower scraping sky.

Poetry is my most recent passion
That's got me by the scruff of the neck
Grabbed me a couple of years ago
Not getting much sleep, I'm a wreck
Sure didn't know when I started all this
It would ignite this fire in my soul
That rages consuming every damn moment
Two poems a day is my goal
This Poetry Soup site sure is addictive
First thing in the morning I'm there
To see who's reviewed my latest entries
Did they think I wrote them with flair?
Late into the night I'm feverishly editing
Tweaking the words to the last
A few things still really bug me though
But time's running out really fast
Trembling I go to the "post poem" prompt
I click it then patiently wait
A feeling of anxiety creeps over me
As I sit there awaiting my fate
© Jack Ellison 2012
Poetry is not meaningless.
It helps the writer,
To get his or her point across,
In rhyme,
And sometimes
Poetry is a unique expression.
It is the writer's way,
To pass on God's blessings,
And life's lessons.
It is my way to combat hate,
From the past and present dates.
Poetry drives punches and puns,
In such view words.
It gives haters or readers
In short what they need or deserve.
It is here to help us all
Pass life's promising tests.
Poetry is the literary genre,
That I love the best.

Which character
will you be changed into today?
Perhaps Alexander Portnoy
or Bilbo Baggins
You should take note
of the way you read
and not become part
of a story you didn't like
After all - you are
not a fictional character
You are something
like the earth, sky
and moon
You exist in real time
Reading is a nice way
to fantasize
Don't get caught between
the pages
You'll find yourself crashing
into the dark waters of unreality
Adrift in a sea of dreams
you'll get lost
and you won't be able
to escape
Do you really think
you can find a way
in and out
of a made up world?
Good luck to you
with that one
Eight authors were killed today,
some of them, somewhat prominent,
and an unknown number were injured,
when a very large crowd of words
came rushing toward them, and
crushed them under the throng
Hundreds of onlooking readers were aghast
at the sight of surprised writers,
running from the tens of thousands
of words, phrases, and stanzas shouting
loud rhyming, some carrying sharpened prose
A bloody mass of heaping humanity
was cast over the civil edge into
a brownish-reddish swaled blog beside as
poets, slammers, and lyricists fled
Many widows and orphans sat beside the ruck,
weeping softly near the edges of their pages,
stunned, stupefied, even utterly dumbfounded
as multi-syllabic words flashed their anger,
and chased the writers to a gruesome end
Diphthongs and anagrams on the scene said
that they'd never seen such a riot of language
or a plethora of grammatical constituents
rise up against their mortal masters
The literary community is expressing
their deepened sorrow and angst with
a spontaneous outpouring of pens, pencils
steno pads, and small digital tablets
left at the scene of the rampage
Editors, secretaries, and linguists unified
to say that the guilty will be found, caught,
and expunged from the lexicography of
modern civil discourse and authorship

into the eternal. far from the real
saddened by six bells which no longer peel
six clappers stand now, stilled and so quiet
death took them away and life could not deny it
extinguished were six flames, flickering names
players were they in such dangerous games
equestrians, gamesmen, strong upon steed
but unmounted and showed did their need
gone into the eternal by me they'll be missed
gallant they rode into smoke of the mist
my eyes saw as they rode, and a tear did I form
their end, although painful, was far from the norm
choking and vomiting, death was not calm
did once all they wanted was a shot in the arm
paid they the price for their weakness of soul
now six of them lay six feet deep in a hole

Free from the sins of the America's bureaucracy,
you were always indifferent
To jealousy,
Yet your poetry
Has fostered poets
To compose legendary verses,
And, though you are distinguished from,
The majority of your contemporaries
The wounds of the broken have been mended.
Only a select few tread on this grand pathway
as it always often remains untracked anyway
I wonder why people find this boring someway
though it takes us to the Treasure Island faraway.
The passing through itself is a source of delight
that is strewn with splendid places that attract
Offering on the way many a breath taking sight
blessed are those who opt for a trip on the route.
Yes, it does require one to fulfil certain norm
for undertaking an expedition of this odd sort
it calls for a sensitive mind with a great thirst
that gets drenched with Mother Nature's mist.
There are different alleys on this joyous road
that present the tourist with myriad pleasures
which when once experienced remain etched
And the taste lingers on ceaselessly unbridled.
One can experience the joys unheard by others
and have the benefit of tranquillity that is rare
and forever revel in the contentment at ease
it's a pleasant and fascinating journey indeed.
Literary fame was no oversight
ever remembered for Wuthering Heights
She wrote a novel beyond compare
the very English,Jane Eyre
Keen obserrvation was her niche
as English literature she did enrich
Only seen through others eyes
her talents still can cause surprise
Custom made her hide her name
but Mary's talent found long-lasting fame
North and South,the divide
but her novel took no side
