NEW YORK (AP) — Kroger's fourth-quarter profit handily beat Wall Street expectations, as the country's largest traditional supermarket chain benefited from an extra week in the period.
The Cincinnati-based company, which also owns Ralphs and Food 4 Less, said revenue at stores open at least a year rose 3 percent for the quarter, excluding fuel.
For the quarter, the company earned $461.5 million, or 88 cents per share. That compares with a loss of $306.9 million, or 54 cents per share, a year ago, when results were weighed down by pension costs.
Not including one-time items, adjusted earnings for the latest period were 77 cents per share.
Revenue rose 13 percent to $24.2 billion.
Analysts on average expected an adjusted profit of 70 cents per share on revenue of $24 billion.

[Windows] Monitor what is happening on your computer and see what others have been doing with LastActivityView
Posted By Briley Kenney On June 28, 2013 @ 3:07 PM In Windows | 2 Comments
[1]I've covered several system monitoring apps here at dotTech, that allow you to see what users have been doing on your computer like TurnedOnTimesView [2], and Check5 [3]. For example, TurnedOnTimesView will tell you about the system being turned on or off, and Check5 will tell you about files being altered. Both perform different actions and monitor different tasks, but neither actually inform you what someone is doing when they're browsing your computer. LastActivityView will actually log programs and applications that have been started on the computer in order to give you a more complete view of what someone was doing.
Main Functionality
LastActivityView is a free windows application that will monitor what's been going on with your computer. It pulls information from the system registry, which means the application does not have to be running constantly in the background to get a proper report. It tells you what applications were run last, what time they were started and even what type of file was related to the action. Essentially, it's a comprehensive monitoring tool unlike the other applications I've mentioned above.
[5]LastActivityView is a portable application, and it comes bundled as a compressed archive. Because of that you'll need an archive tool like WinZip, WinRAR or 7Zip to extract the related content. Once everything is extracted the application can be run thanks to a single executable file. It can be run from any directory including an external or portable drive.
When you first load the application it will pop up a UAC message, asking for the proper administrative rights. It needs them to read the registry so it can build the proper activity logs. It takes a few minutes after everything is all up and running for the application to build the complete log. My log had 4763 items, dating all the way back to July, 2009 which was when I first installed Windows. Even with that many items it took less than a minute for the application to fill in the content.
The application displays the following in the log:
[6]What types of activities are recorded by the logs? You can see executables being loaded, open and save dialogues being activated, files or folders being opened, software being installed, system shutdowns, startups, logons, application crashes, network connections and more. In other words, you name it, you can see it pretty much. Rest assured, if you want to know what someone has been doing on your computer then this app will most certainly tell you.
The information can be exported into several formats including CSV, HTML, or text files. You can also generate HTML reports for any of the items in the list individually, or all of them together. That's just in case you want to record the related logs or export the data to store elsewhere.
For reference, LastActivityView uses nearly 5,000KB of RAM while running, which is just under 5MB.
[7]If you want to know what your computer is being used for, then LastActivityView will tell you. It collects information from the Windows registry and compiles it in a single convenient location. The application itself is lightweight, and only uses about 5MB of RAM while running. In addition, because it collects existing information from the registry, you don't have to leave it running in the background to generate a log — only run it when you need it. Is it the most beautiful piece of software around? No, but it's definitely practical. Check it out if you need this sort of functionality.

Manti Te'o overcomes tragic loss in family to lead Notre Dame past Michigan State
Te'o's 12 tackles, two pass breakups, fumble recovery, sack, general domination and overwhelming leadership powered it. In the worst week of his life, he played perhaps his best game ever.
On Tuesday evening Manti Te'o's grandmother passed away. Hours later, on Wednesday morning, he lost his girlfriend, Lennay Kekua to a battle with leukemia.
Hats off the the kid. Would love to have him as a Redskin next season, gotta love his heart and determination. Blessings to him and his fam.

November 25th and 26th Paul Gates of WAFB wrote a story about a small rural cemetery in West Baton Rouge Parish that likely suffered damage from Hurricane Gustav. It was found by a couple traveling in the area who emailed Mr. Gates about the damaged cemetery near Beuche, Louisiana on River Road. The Assistant Attorney General, Ryan Seideman, the Louisiana Cemetery Board, and both the West Baton Rouge cornoners office and Parish President were on hand to see that the cemetery was cleaned up. You can read more about both articles from Paul Gates here: Family shocked by cemetery destruction and Repair process begins at cemetery with damaged caskets and vaults. It is believed that the destruction found was likely caused by Hurricane Gustav and the owner may be able to get assistance from FEMA. They are still looking for the owner of this cemetery on River Road.
There are very few named cemeteries in West Baton Rouge Parish and even fewer with transcripts available on-line. In fact, Martin Gautier's Louisiana Cemeteries lists several "unknown" cemeteries that have no transcripts, photographs or recognition by USGS. I noted 10 unknown cemeteries at his site where has has listed the GPS of the cemetery. USGS lists cemeteries differently from church cemeteries. Only 10 cemeteries are noted by USGS. USGS lists several churches that may be associated with older cemeteries. Find A Grave notes 39 cemeteries totally in West Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana where a few more are associated with churches.

Heritage Day at Fort Polk 2008
The second annual Heritage Day at Fort Polk took place on November 1st. According to the Leesville Daily Leader newspaper, "Since undertaking the goal of preserving the old home sites and cemeteries, Fort Polk has located more than 27 cemeteries as well as numerous home sites.During the past year, more than 70 grave sites have been located with ground-penetrating radar. Sage said they hope to identify all of the grave sites and eventually replace markers. Currently Fort Polk is working with the U.S. Forest Service and Northwestern State University to collect oral histories along with any and all photos of Camp Polk and the home sites of the families prior to the government's take over of the land.As information is collected, it is being recorded. Copies will be available for viewing at Fort Polk and NSU." The Gaurdian posted an article about Heritage Day by ZACH MORGAN, Heritage Days helps families heal old hurts.

Course Titles:
It's More Than 'Two Times Maintenance': Fluid Therapy for Small Animals
Course Number: 13706
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Dr. Tony Johnson
Fluid therapy is one area I struggle with daily whether for rehydration or resuscitation from shock. Few interventions are as fraught with the possibility of error and disastrous consequences. Many schools of thought and much controversy surround this topic. The temptation exists to just set the pump at 'two times maintenance' and be done; the actual fluid plan should be based on an evaluation of the patient and changed to match the patient's changing needs.
Small Animal CPR: New Guidelines from the RECOVER Initiative
Course Number: 13707
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Dr. Tony Johnson
CPR is often futile with survival to discharge rates hovering at less than 10% for veterinary patients. Nonetheless, it is not going to go away, so knowing what to do is important. The RECOVER initiative was just completed and offers up evidence-based guidelines for doing the best CPR you can. This session will review the large-scale study and provide tips and advice on proper technique.
Icy Hot: Hypo and Hyperthermia
Course Number: 13708
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Brandy Sprunger CVT, RVT, AASVTS (ECC)
Hypo and hyperthermia are commonly seen in emergency practices, whether primary conditions from exposure to the outdoors or secondary to other disease processes, surgery or trauma. While some aspects of their pathophysiology are very similar, others are very unique. Knowing the differences can make patient hospitalization times shorter and recovery much quicker.
Not So Cute: Acute Anaphylaxis
Course Number: 13709
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Brandy Sprunger CVT, RVT, AASVTS (ECC)
Anaphylaxis occurs for many different reasons and can manifest as a mild allergic reaction or escalate to severe hypovolemic or anaphylactic shock. In order to treat these patients quickly and affectively, it is important to understand the basics of immunology as well as numerous causes of anaphylaxis.
A Little Fat Can Be Good: Using Lipids in Toxicities
Course Number: 13710
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Brandy Sprunger CVT, RVT, AASVTS (ECC)
Since its first use in human medicine, intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) has been found to be useful for many lipophilic toxins. Knowing which toxins it works with, how to administer it and theories behind how it works puts many toxicity cases at a great advantage, and may even save lives.
Orthopedic Emergencies
Course Number: 13711
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Dr. Ralph Millard
A review of steps necessary for successful management of acute traumatic fractures in dogs and cats, including: patient assessment, resuscitation, monitoring, analgesia, wound management, temporary stabilization and definitive methods of treatment.
Feline Inappropriate Elimination
Course Number: 13712
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Dr. John Ciribassi
Is it medical? Is it marking? Is it the litter box or the litter? These are all great questions and this session will explore each of these questions and how to answer them to help achieve effective resolution of the problem.
Fear Based Aggression
Course Number: 13713
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Dr. John Ciribassi
This presentation will explore one of the most common behavior issues seen in veterinary behavior medicine, fear based aggression, and will try to diminish the idea that all aggression is related to dominance.
Canine Sibling Rivalry
Course Number: 13714
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Dr. John Ciribassi
There are various terms to describe this aggression issue where dogs of the same household develop aggressive behaviors towards each other. We will explore causes and how to manage this common and frustrating problem.
Hypertension in Dogs and Cats: Managing Cases Simply and Effectively
Course Number: 13715
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Dr. Scott Brown
Recent studies have shown that high blood pressure is far more common than previously thought. We will demystify the diagnosis and management of this problem, which can be handled in a straightforward manner. This session will focus on issues related to blood pressure measurement, treatment of hypertension, and successful management of comorbid conditions, such as kidney disease and hyperthyroidism, using case examples.
How to Wisely Use NSAIDs in Animals at Risk
Course Number: 13717
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Dr. Scott Brown
NSAIDs are the most commonly used analgesic medication in veterinary medicine. Renal complications from NSAID administration are a constant worry for veterinarians, who have to balance risk with quality of life issues. We will focus on recent information related to the proper way to use these drugs to maximize safety and how to follow animals chronically receiving NSAIDs in order to catch renal issues early, giving case examples throughout.
Proteinuria: A New and Important Management Tool
Course Number: 13718
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Dr. Scott Brown
Identifying the presence of protein in the urine of dogs and cats is nothing new to veterinarians. What is new, however, is recent evidence that we can use this knowledge to assess the efficacy of our treatments of animals with kidney disease or with high blood pressure. Using case examples, we will show how proteinuria provides us with far more information than was previously appreciated.
Diagnostic Assessment of the Avian Patient
Course Number: 13719
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Dr. Ken Welle
Avian patients often present with vague, non-specific signs. The ability to interpret subtle findings, and to plan, implement, and interpret diagnostic tests is essential to practicing avian medicine.
Avian Theriogenology and Obstetrics
Course Number: 13720
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Dr. Ken Welle
Birds have unique reproductive systems that are frequently the target of medical conditions. A strong knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, and a logical approach to management can help resolve many of these problems.
3 Cheers for the Stifle: Lateral Sutures, TPLOs, and TTAs
Course Number: 11748
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Jacqueline Ziven-LeCount
This session will discuss the most common stifle injury in the canine patient, a cranial cruciate ligament tear (CCL). There are several signs and symptoms that follow the rupture of the CCL. Veterinarians have several surgical options at their disposal to repair this type of ligament tear. We will discuss three of the most common stifles; the lateral suture technique, TPLOs, and TTAs.
Canine Rehabilitation and Its Practical Application
Course Number: 11739
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Maggie Lump
Physical rehabilitation is a well-known specialized field in human medicine, and is becoming increasingly popular in the veterinary field. Physical rehabilitation in canines and felines can be applied to orthopedic, neurologic and soft tissue conditions to reduce recovery times. Many different techniques can be used in treating dogs and cats, including massage, electrotherapy and thermotherapy. This talk provides an overview of common physical rehabilitation modalities.
Technology vs. Biology in Cancer Control: Which Matters More?
Course Number: 11744
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Rodney Page
The evolution of cancer management includes advances in both technology and biology. Biological innovations result in better understanding of cancer behavior through refined grading schemes, new biomarkers and better products. Technological advancements have also had a profound impact on cancer management through improved staging with imaging and anatomical reconstruction, better radiation dosimetry and minimally invasive, interventional and robotic surgical techniques. This session will review the biology and technology of cancer treatment innovations as well as raise some controversy.
What's Up Doc? Rabbit Husbandry and Common Diseases
Course Number: 11749
(1 CE) 1 Continuing Education Unit offered
Speaker: Cindy Voglewede
A brief discussion on the many intricacies of educating clients on rabbit husbandry as well as common diseases that affects them.
Air Sacs and Eggs: Avian Emergency Care
Course Number: 11978

The population of Southern food writers and cookbook authors is only marginally smaller than the overall population of the South. Or so it seems. Many of these writers are very good. Last year, in 2011, at least four formidable Southern cookbooks were published. When the James Beard Foundation and the International Association of Culinary Professionals release each year their three nominees apiece for the best American cookbooks, there must be years, last year perhaps being one of them, when the judges struggle to find a token non-Southern title to include and to decide which of the worthy Southern books to exclude.
Newspaper food sections in the South often are good, too, and the Southern Foodways Alliance's website is the best U.S.-regional food site around. Its blog is a punchy, opinionated, funny, and insightful read that I enjoy a lot.
Like many of my colleagues in the cookbook-editing biz, I'd love to work on a Southern cookbook. But the competition is so dense and daunting that many of us simply have stayed on the sidelines. Partly as a result of this professional disengagement from the subject, and partly because my travels have rarely included the South, I know very little about Southern foods.
One of the many, many facts I did not know about food in the South is that a signature dish in Nashville is what's known around town as hot chicken. "Hot" here refers to a heavy dose of cayenne, usually, or another capsaicin-based flavoring. I learned this not because I have been reading the works of one of the bazillion Southern-native food writers, but because I have been an occasional visitor to a fine blog written by Malcolm and Jillian Bedell, who live now in Maine but have lived many places, including Brooklyn and the Yucatan, previously, and who travel a lot, including in the South.
The blog is called From Away. If you have been to Maine, you know that everyone there is either "from away," meaning they were born elsewhere and lack a Maine accent, or "from here," meaning they were born in Maine and have the accent to prove it. Some food blogs are written by generalists (any food is fair game), and some by specialists (baking or Italian food, for example). From Away is something of a multiple-specialties blog. Jillian and Malcolm write a lot about restaurants, bakeries, and other food-or-drink establishments in Maine, especially ones that bespeak Maine's distinct regional food culture. It's also a blog that has a lot of recipes for Maine dishes. Beyond that, the Bedells have written extensively and lovingly about sandwiches. Last, there's a road-trip component, in which they check out regional foods in other locales. Recent posts have covered tomato pies in Trenton and taco trucks in New Haven.
The recipe reproduced below from comes from Nashville. The original post is here. I like knowing that there is such a thing as the "Music City Hot Chicken Festival," and I like the Bedells' interpretation of one of the recipes that won a prize in that event. Whether you buy or don't buy the story that the dish originated as a kind of punitive breakfast, I think you'll agree that it's a neat recipe.
Nashville Hot Chicken
Adapted from a recipe by Justin Jones, Winner, 2008 Music City Hot Chicken Festival
Is the "Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich" from Wendy's not enough to get your heart racing anymore? Have you beaten every hot Buffalo wing eating contest in town? It's time to graduate to "Hot Chicken," the regional fried chicken specialty from Nashville, TN.
Traditionally served on a few slices of white bread, with a sliced sour pickle to take the edge off the heat, what sets Nashville Hot Chicken apart from upstate New York's saucier contribution to the chicken world, is the thick, spicy, violently red paste that gets applied to the chicken after it comes out of the cast iron skillet. The paste varies slightly from chicken shack to chicken shack, but Nashville's Hot Chicken experts seem to agree that the base recipe is about 3 parts cayenne pepper to one part lard. The liquefied fat and pepper oozes into all of the nooks and crannies in the crunchy chicken, dripping onto the soft, spongy sliced white bread underneath, which keeps the grease and spice from oozing onto your clothes and into the eyes of any small children that may be standing nearby. The result? Nuclear-strength fried chicken that stays perfectly crunchy, enrobed in layer upon layer of lip-burning, endorphin-surging, sinus-clearing, eczema-inducing amounts of heat and spice.
Though Hot Chicken is served throughout Nashville (and even celebrated in its own annual festival), the technique for producing such incendiary chicken was developed by the Prince family, owners of "Prince's Hot Chicken." Located in a nondescript strip mall, sandwiched between a nail salon and a wig store, the Prince family has been making Hot Chicken since the 1950′s. As the legend goes, the great-uncle of the current owner, André Prince Jeffries, was a proud womanizer and Lothario. After being caught by his live-in girlfriend after spending the night with another girlfriend, Thornton Prince's main squeeze decided to teach him a lesson by cooking up a breakfast batch of the spiciest chicken she could muster (because, evidently, "cooking your philanderer some chicken" was how most domestic disputes were handled in the 1950′s). To his girlfriend's ever-mounting chagrin, Thornton Prince loved the chicken so much, he began serving it in his own restaurant and, presumably empowered by his newfound spicy chicken-strength, continued sleeping with as many other women as humanly possible.
Since Prince's keeps their exact technique and ingredients a secret, attempts to copy the Prince's Hot Chicken recipe reach far and wide. Some insist that some of the heat is applied prior to frying, which seems unlikely, as Prince's offers four levels of heat, which can all come from the same batch of fried chicken. Other would-be amateur Hot Chicken chefs insist that the paste is made of two parts cayenne pepper to one part "Slap Ya Mama" Cajun Seasoning, or further enhance their spicy chicken paste with garlic, sugar, or additional hot sauce. In 2008, contest judges at Music City's Hot Chicken Festival awarded their grand prize to civilian Justin Jones' recipe. It may not be Prince's original recipe, and it doesn't claim to be; it may be, however, as close as we're going to get to authentic Nashville Hot Chicken without taking a serious road trip.
Frying chicken in a cast iron skillet is an art; there's no shame (at least not amongst we Yankees) in finishing your chicken in a 375 degree oven, if it gets too dark on the outside without reaching a safe 165 inside. Serve it just the way they do at Prince's: on two slices of enriched white bread, with a few slices of sour pickle on a toothpick. It's a peculiar combination, but it works. When the chicken is gone, you get bonus points for wolfing down the grease-and-cayenne-soaked bread.
Serves 4, as sandwiches
- 2 skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts
- 2 cups buttermilk (or two cups whole milk + 2 tablespoons white vinegar)
- 1/2 cup self-rising flour
- 10 ounces plus 2 tablespoons lard, divided
- 3 tablespoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 slices white bread
- 6-8 slices sour pickle, sliced
- In a shallow baking dish or large freezer bag, combine chicken breasts and buttermilk. Cover or seal and let soak in the refrigerator overnight.
- In a deep, heavy cast iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, heat 10 ounces of lard to 375 degrees. Check temperature of oil throughout the cooking process using a candy thermometer, adjusting heat as needed to keep oil as close to 375 as possible.
- Remove chicken from buttermilk, and dredge in flour. Add chicken to hot grease, and cook, turning every 3-4 minutes, until chicken is golden brown and a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees, about 20-25 minutes. Drain chicken on paper towels.
- Microwave remaining two tablespoons of lard for 30 seconds, or until liquefied. Add cayenne, sugar, salt, and garlic powder, and stir well to combine.
- Apply to bone-side of chicken using a brush, a spoon, or your hands (wear latex gloves!), flip chicken over (so it is skin-side-up) onto two slices of white bread, and baste with more of the paste. Repeat for remaining chicken breast. Serve with sliced sour pickles and a dozen cans of cheap beer.

At breakfast this morning, I carefully lifted the milk jug from the buffet table and was slightly surprised to find that the whole thing fell apart in my hands. Several pints of milk sloshed all over the carpet and I found myself standing in the middle of a small white puddle holding nothing but a handle. For a moment, I imagined that I was about to find myself surrounded by kitchen staff cursing and swearing at me - but instead the waitress merely raised her eyes to heaven for a moment, walked casually over to take what was left of the jug from me, smiled and said "Well that's not the first time that's happened, I can tell you!". Good milk jugs must be at a premium in Western Australia. I went out to see Broome. It's only five blocks to the shopping center, promised my map. What it didn't point out was that the scale was about 1:1,000,000 and that every intersection was about a kilometre from the last. So I walked. And walked. Every block was exactly the same - roads in four directions, a couple of houses on each corner, weird pineapple shaped trees lining the roads. There seemed to be no pavements in Broome, but it didn't make much difference because there appeared to be no cars either. Occasionally a bloody great road-train would rumble by, the cab belching vicious looking chemicals into the air and attached to six or seven freight containers, each the length of a bus. This would give me a moment of amusement as I sat on a wall and watched the driver trying to negotiate a corner without demolishing the houses, and then I'd head off again for the next intersection, another kilometre further on. All four sides of every intersection were bordered by huge octagonal signs adorned with the word "STOP" in large red letters. So I would stop, look both ways, repeat a few times for comedic effect, and then erect my own sign underneath which read "Why, exactly?". Nothing was ever coming in Broome. On the subject of road signs in Australia, I am definitely noticing a lot of dumbing down going on. When I first noticed the chalk outlines of people drawn on pedestrian crossings in Sydney, I let it go - but it seems to have got worse as I've travelled westward. On a post near the Boulevard Shopping Centre in downtown Broome, I discovered a big yellow octagonal sign upon which was printed in large friendly letters: TO CROSS THE ROAD, FOLLOW THE FOOTPRINTS A set of footprints, drawn on the road, led the way to the other side. Who exactly is this for? I have also seen, painted onto the road in various places, a picture of a bicycle above which is another picture of a mother and baby - somebody needs to tell the government of Australia that road signs are supposed to be comprehensible to visitors. What does this mean? Only bicycles and mothers with babies in this lane? Be aware of mothers and babies when riding your bicycle? All new mothers must ride bicycles? What? I wanted to get a film developed so I found my way eventually to the big new Boulevard Shopping Center downtown. This was a place for serious shopping - hundreds of boutiques arranged in tidy rows, benches to sit on next to ornamental fountains, shiny polished walkways with tapestries of Australia hanging from the walls. No customers, of course - but then I wasn't really expecting anything else. Personally I was just glad of the air conditioning, which literally smacked me in the face as soon as the doors slid back and allowed me to drag my dehydrated carcase inside - it must've been at least 110 degrees out there today. I clawed my way across the lobby and into the Kodak shop, where I pulled myself up to the counter with the last of my strength and flopped down in front of the disinterested looking assistant:
"Please," I begged her, "Tell me you develop APS film here."
She looked at me as though she couldn't quite make up her mind whether to feel sorry for this bedraggled mess slumped over her counter, or call security and have me escorted from the building. After what seemed an age, she decided instead to turn and stride away into the back room, calling back as she went that I wanted the Image Plaza in Chinatown. That's another thing they all seem to think they're good at over here - mind reading. Chinatown was more of a Chinastreet really, on which the local shopping centre and all the shops had been built to resemble little white pagodas. It was very pretty and quite surreal at the same time, and not at all what I had been expecting to find in a place like Broome - in my experience, Chinatown is somewhere you'll find in big international cities such as New York and London where there is a large Chinese community, but this one seemed to be there just for the sake of it. There wasn't a single Chinese person anywhere, but if there had been they would have been very impressed with the community Broome has built for them. Just to confuse matters even further, the shopping centre in Chinatown contained a number of cafes and restaurants, none of which was Chinese. I had lunch in an atmospheric little bistro which had a tree growing right out of the floor in the middle of the dining area. The place was decorated in an Italian style, I was waited on by a chirpy American girl, and the menu was made up of a combination of foods from everywhere in the world except China or Italy. Chinatown in Broome was quite the most multicultural place I'd seen for quite a while - then again, perhaps they're all just really confused in this part of the country. Broome is famous the world over for Cable Beach, a twenty kilometre stretch of perfect powdery white sand which can be reached by a fairly strenuous walk to the outskirts of town or by grabbing a taxi, if you can find one. There's never any junk or crisp packets to distract you on this beach, as the tides are high enough to wash the sand clean twice a day. The walk is worth it just to be able to say that you've swum in the crystal blue waters of the Indian Ocean, although, however inviting it looks there is always some spoilsport hanging around to point out that there are plenty of box jellyfish in the sea between November and March just waiting to sting an unsuspecting tourist to death. There is an episode of Star Trek (Go with me on this one) where Kirk and his crew land on a planet which appears to be paradise but on which all the fruit and the grass and everything that looks even remotely beautiful is filled with acid just below the surface. Well, sometimes you get that impression in Australia - if you ever see something really stunning over here, the first question to generally ask is "How is it going to try to kill me?" Cable Beach also boasts Australia's most famous nudist beach, so if you're the sort of person to whom perfect white sand mean throwing off all your clothes and running in slow motion towards the sunset (which is, naturally, jaw-droppingly beautiful), then there's nearly seventeen kilometres of the beach just for you. At least if you're a man, you won't have to have any cold weather worries in this part of the world! The locals run camel rides up and down the beach - and if you still haven't been put off by my account of sore backside syndrome riding camels in the Red Center, riding a camel along the beach at sunset really isn't an experience you're going to be able to have in many other places around the world. Unfortunately, I'm only in Broome for a little over a day so I can't cram in everything I'd like to see. Other attractions of the area which I will have to schedule for a later date include the hundred million year old dinosaur footprints embedded in the rock at Gantheaume Point, which can only be seen when the tide is out. There's also a perfectly round pool nearby which was built by the lighthouse keeper to give his wife Anastasia relief from her arthritis, and I would particularly like to witness a phenomena which occurs for three nights every month between March and October called "The Staircase to the Moon", caused by the full moon rising over the rocks and reflecting in the shallow waters. I hadn't reckoned on the floods delaying me so much in Queensland and the Northern Territories, and I'm booked into a hotel in Perth for the next few nights on a non-refundable basis - I can't help feeling that I am missing so much of Western Australia! Back in my room tonight, I switched on the television in a foolish attempt to sample the delights of Western Australian entertainment and soak up some culture - but after coming half way around the world, it felt exactly as though I was watching TV back home. Neighbours was on.

That is > not to say that implementations should disallow them. That would be the sensible interpretation, but it is not what 5.92 says. As for the change that Mike said he had made to correct section 4.5, let us suppose that the changed language were to read something like As defined by this document, the Scheme programming language is safe in the following sense: The execution of a Scheme program cannot go so badly wrong as to crash or to continue to execute while behaving in ways that are inconsistent with the semantics described in this document, unless said execution first encounters some implementation restriction or other defect in the implementation of Scheme that is executing the program. That language would imply that no Scheme program could link with unsafe libraries. Another way of putting it is that the act of linking with unsafe libraries would prevent a program from being a Scheme program. If that were to become the definition of Scheme programs, it would be accurate to say that Scheme programs cannot interoperate with C and C++. If that were to become the definition of Scheme programs, then I would not have much interest in Scheme programs, and I would certainly not bother to implement the Scheme language, as so defined.

Your life is full of God's goodness. Matt Redman's new song, 10,000 Reasons is all about finding those reasons and thanking God for them.
I know that some days it's hard to get that. When you feel beat down, abandoned, alone, like a failure, change your perspective by thinking back to all the things God has gotten you through in the past and will get you through again.
In this video about the story behind the song Matt Redman described his inspiration was from David in Psalm 103, "He's just pouring out all these reasons, he's healed you from diseases, he's redeemed you from the pit…and you can't shut him up about it! Isn't that what the life of worship is meant to be…we are meant to be so conscious of the reasons to praise God."
I know how failure can make it hard to find things to praise God for, but it can also make the things you have been successful at more clear.
Personally, I still struggle with the failure of my marriage, and sometimes it clouds my vision of the good things that God has brought into my life.
But, when I look in my rear view mirror and I see 3 of God's children that he has entrusted to my care, I can sing again.

Music (B.A.)
Bachelor of Arts in Music
The B.A. in Music is a performance major designed for students interested in studying music within a biblical context. Students choose from one of three areas in which to specialize: voice, instrumental, or keyboard. In addition to perfecting their technique, expression and performance skills, students receive comprehensive musical training, acquire an aesthetic sensitivity that embraces diverse musical styles, and develop a striving toward musical excellence.
Students gain professional experience through student teaching, church music practice, student ministries, and recitals. The Music Department's extensive performance opportunities range from recitals and musicals to positions in College Choir, Chamber Choir (both of which perform abroad biannually), Women's Choir, Crown Brass, Crown Orchestra, and Christmas in Crown Chapel.
The flexible B.A. in Music gives students dedicated to a life of making and performing music to God's glory a variety of post-graduation options. They may pursue a master's degree or performance career. Some work in a music-related business or industry. Others teach privately in a studio or academy. Our graduates work as church worship leaders, sing professionally with such esteemed Twin Cities groups such as the Minnesota Opera and VocalEssence, and have graduated with a Masters in Music from Cambridge University in England.

Assisted living facilities normally are places for housing long term senior personal care services. These facilities are also known as Senior Assisted Living or just Senior Living. These types of services are in place for elderly people who need little assistance on some of their daily activities. Daily activities like cooking, three-times meals in a day, assistance on any of their personal care needs or to just have someone to be around them to talk with. In terms of medical needs, these types of facilities can also assist senior with little medical care needed or intermittent health care. What can you expect from this kind of facility? These are the common services that you can expect from an Assisted Living Facilities:
- 24-hour supervision and security
When you want to put your love ones in an assisted living facility you have to make sure that they have the most secure supervision and security they can give the seniors living in there. One of the reasons why you put a senior in this kind of facility is to keep them safe and be watched. It matters that they have 24 hours services for this one just to make sure you'll be at ease even if some of your elderly loves are away from you,
- Daily meals
It is very important that seniors are served with good food daily. There are at their prime age where they need special treatment on what kind of food they will be eating. It is a must to check on what kind of meals are served on the elderly living in the facility and the time schedules of the meals. It is also important to check and know if you can request if for example a senior would need special assistance on the type of food they need to take.
- Basic housekeeping
It can't be expected that elderly people can have the strength of proper housekeeping. Maybe simple folding of their blankets and making their bed after waking is a given that they can still do it but it is always good to know that the facility will have the staff to do the basic housekeeping regularly to keep the place clean and livable for the elderly.
- Laundry
You can't expect a senior to do their laundry but that doesn't mean they are not capable of doing it. One reason why elderly are put in these kinds of facilities is for them to be taken cared of with the things that people their age shouldn't be doing anymore. It would be good to know if someone will take care of their dirty clothes and keep them clean for use next time.
It is highly important to know these services before putting any of your elderly love ones on any kind of assisted living facilities. It is just the right thing to ensure that they will be getting the care and assistance they serve home away from home.

Dice Math
Name: Jonathan Status: other Age: 40s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
My goal is to simulate the rolling of large numbers of dice without a recursive formula. I can generate "random" numbers between 0 and 1 and i need an euqation that can allow me to, using one random number, simulate the rolling of x numbers of y sided dice.
Don't do it. Use a separate "random" number to simulate each roll of each die. Your method for generating random numbers is probably a linear congruence generator, which is fine for most applications. However, if you try to break it doen into separate "random" regions (low byte, high byte, for example), it turns out that not all regions will pass the "randomness" tests equally well.
In fact, when I use a linear congruence generator for my own Monte Carlo codes, I combine several computer-generated variates into one number to assure me that my numbers are as free from structure as possible.
I'm guessing that what you really want here is a formula to calculate the probabilities of each possible sum of die rolls, say rolling two six-sided dice in a craps game. Remember that all sides of a fair die have the same probability; thus, the 36 possible permutations of rolling dice A and B also all have equal probabilities of 1/36. To fin the probability of each SUM (2-12), you need to find out how many different rolls lead to the same sum.

Globe Life Park in Arlington, Arlington, Texas
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Pittsburgh reliever Mark Melancon allowed multiple runs for the first time in 65 appearances this season.
Still, he appeared to get a little extra on the pitch that ended the game, saving the Pirates' 5-4 victory over the slumping Texas Rangers on Tuesday night.Melancon gave up four consecutive two-out singles, two of them producing runs, before striking out Adrian Beltre on three pitches with the potential tying run at third base."He got one of the best hitters in the game out to finish it off," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "Two outs, and nobody on base, and before you know it, you've got a game out there, you've got a nail-biter on your hands at the end. ... At the end of the day, he struck out the side, with a little action in between."Francisco Liriano pitched six innings for his career-high 16th victory and Andrew McCutchen had three RBI singles for the NL wild-card leaders.A night after victory No. 82 ensured the Pirates' first winning season since 1992, they got a series-clinching victory and stayed within a game of NL Central-leading St. Louis."We're still hunting for more," said Jordy Mercer, who had two doubles among his four hits. "We want to get more, as much as we can, that's for sure."Melancon struck out two pinch-hitters to start the ninth. Singles by Ian Kinsler and Alex Rios produced runs before Beltre, a .318 hitter already with two hits and an RBI, took the first pitch before swinging at the next two."I threw three heaters. Just getting ahead," Melancon said. "The second pitch, he fouled back, and the third pitch I don't know if he was sitting breaking ball or not, but came back with another (fastball). ... I never really lost my composure or thought any negative thoughts."Even though it took 30 pitches to get his 13th save in 15 chances.As for Beltre, Texas manager Ron Washington said, "We know what his track record is and what he's capable of doing. He's a guy who always rises to a challenge. I'm looking forward to him coming back."Pittsburgh scored three runs with four consecutive two-out hits in the fifth off rookie left-hander Martin Perez (9-4), who had won his previous six starts since the beginning of August.The Rangers, who still need another victory for their fifth consecutive winning season, will lose their fourth series in a row no matter what happens in Wednesday's finale. Texas has lost seven of its last nine games, but remained two games back in the AL West with Oakland's loss to Minnesota.Liriano (16-7) struck out five while allowing one run to become the first Pirates left-hander since John Smiley and Zane Smith in 1991 to win more than 15 games. Liriano has received a decision in each of his 23 starts since signing as a free agent in February, the most for the Pirates since Larry French got a decision in each of his first 24 starts in 1930."Not his finest outing. A blue-collar effort," Hurdle said. "I think a runner reached base every inning on in. ... All we did, we battled tonight, we battled off the mound, we battled at the plate."In the Pittsburgh fifth, Mercer doubled and scored on McCutchen's second hit. Marlon Byrd then singled before Gaby Sanchez had an RBI double. Byrd scored on a wild pitch.The 22-year-old Perez is the only Texas rookie to win six consecutive starts, and it was the most for any Rangers pitcher since Kenny Rogers won eight in a row in 2005.Texas got a run off Jason Grilli in the eighth, when Rios doubled with two outs and scored on a single by Beltre. Tony Watson took over and allowed a double to A.J. Pierzynski before striking out Jeff Baker to end the inning.Pittsburgh went up 1-0 in the third when it appeared that Tony Sanchez stepped on the foot of catcher A.J. Pierzynski and never actually touched the plate. He came home on McCutchen's infield single.Texas rookie Joey Butler drew a leadoff walk in the fifth and scored on Kinsler's double to center, a ball that went off the glove of McCutchen as he tried to make a sliding backhanded catch.Game notes
The Pirates have 38 road wins, their most since that same amount in 1992. ... Texas also lost four consecutive series in June. ... The Rangers had been safe on 19 consecutive stolen base tries until Elvis Andrus was caught in the third inning. ... Kinsler's double snapped a 15-inning drought for the Rangers without a run or an extra-base hit. ... There was a disputed double play by Pittsburgh in the fourth. Pierzynski hit a grounder that 1B Gaby Sanchez backhanded while apparently sliding his foot across the base before throwing to second to get Beltre. Pierzynski argued with first base umpire Chad Fairchild before Washington and Beltre joined the discussion.

Unless you were under a rock all afternoon, you know by now that Kanye West's new album Yeezus was leaked ahead of its Tuesday release. I'll give my personal opinion some time to develop, but until then my gift to you is a track off the album. It'll probably be taken down within the next few minutes, but whatever. You can find the whole thing by using common sense (Twitter, Google, BitTorrent), or by waiting until Tuesday like a good person and buying it. Whatever fits you best.
And if you hate Kanye like KFC…here's the newest video by hometown hero Lil Dicky. K-words should love it.
Happy Flag Day and have a great weekend!

In my Saturday Los Angeles Times, I read about how China is resolving its elderly problems . If adult children don't take care of their parent, they might be jailed. And if they don't visit them at least once a week, they'll get fined. If it isn't resolved and they continue not to visit them, then you going to jail. Five (5) years in jail for some of the slackers.
Meanwhile, here in North America, we are still throwing our parents into convalescent homes.
This post is a prelude and will prepare us for tomorrow which will be one of the most important posts I've written.

The Environment Agency and the City Council as Lead Local Flood Authority are both responsible for predicting what areas of the city are at risk of flooding and managing the risk.
The Environment Agency are responsible for predicting flood risk from larger watercourses and the sea and the City Council are responsible for predicting flooding from heavy rainfall, smaller watercourses and groundwater flooding.
General information on flood risk management is available here.
Until we include the EA's maps in our system, you need to consult two different sources of information.
Maps of the risk of flooding from Main Rivers are published here on the Environment Agency web site. Information on the risk of surface water flooding is available in our Strategic Flood Risk Assessment and Surface Water Management Plan. Please see the appendices for maps of flood risk from surface water.
Further information on how to prepare your property if it is at risk of flooding is available here (please see "Information for people at risk of flooding"), and you can sign up to receive flood warnings relating to Main Rivers on the Environment Agency's website.
The Council's policy is to protect the function of flood plains and watercourses, and not to approve development which would increase the risk of flooding. Where a proposed development is at risk from flooding, or could create a risk of flooding elsewhere, a flood risk assessment must be submitted with the planning application.
All development, regardless of whether it is itself at risk of flooding will be expected to investigate whether the use of sustainable drainage techniques is possible so as prevent an increase in flood risk due to surface water run off.
More details of the Council's policies relating to flood plains and flood risk are contained in the adopted Local Plan - Built Environment Chapter - Policy BE20 and in policy CS02 of the Core Strategy and the Climate Change SPD.
For contact details, go to our Flooding page.

Montoya moves on to Schumacher's tail in final practice
Ferraris Michael Schumacher again led the way in practice in Melbourne on Saturday, but this time the Williams of Juan Pablo Montoya was very close behind.
Friday pacesetter Schumacher remained fastest in the first of Saturday's two 45-minute sessions, but his advantage over team-mate Rubens Barrichello was eroded to 0.373s, and over Juan Pablo Montoya to only 0.409s, much to Williams' relief. The general feeling was that the Ferraris had set their Friday times on the softer Bridgestone tyre, which would not have been able to go the distance, and that they had switched to the harder tyre for the remainder of the weekend.
The opening session was a relatively quiet one, though both Schumacher and Montoya had wild grassy moments on the exit to Turn 12, and Saubers Felipe Massa and Minardis Zsolt Baumgartner had moments in Turn 1 and Turn 4 respectively. Nick Heidfeld also had a big tank slapper, but got away with it in his Jordan.
Schumacher's fastest time was 1m 25.786s, with Barrichello on 1m 26.159s and Montoya right behind him with 1m 26.195s. It was cooler than yesterday afternoon, with track temperatures reaching only 25C.
The second Williams of Ralf Schumacher was fourth with 1m 26.390s, the German heading six other drivers within just over half a second of his time. David Coulthard set fastest time in the first sector but managed only 1m 26.428s for fifth, again outpacing McLaren partner Kimi Raikkonen who was seventh on 1m 26.725s. They were separated by Renaults Fernando Alonso, who was at one time fastest with his 1m 26.610s.
Behind them came Mark Webber, again looking strong for Jaguar on 1m 26.804s, Jarno Trulli in the Renault, who took away Coulthard's fastest first sector time on his way to 1m 26.817s, and BARs Jenson Button, who was the final runner under 1m 27s with 1m 26.995s.
The second session began with Schumacher waving off Toyotas Cristiano da Matta for holding him up, and then aborting what should have been the quickest lap after coming across Montoya out on the circuit. Alonso set the ball rolling once again, but was soon supplanted by Barrichello. With 29C track temperature this was immediately a faster session.
Soon Schumacher was back in charge, this timed managing 1m 25.093s to pip the Williams duo (Montoya ahead of Ralf) by 0.162s. They recorded 1m 25.255s and 1m 25.628s respectively. Barrichello was fourth on 1m 25.649s, ahead of Alonso on 1m 25.908s. Trulli wasn't far off either, on 1m 25.927s.
The surprise, however, was Olivier Panis, who boosted Toyota to sixth with 1m 25.916s, well ahead of team mate da Matta's best of 1m 26.597s which left the Brazilian only 12th.
Once again Webber was in good form for Jaguar, lapping in 1m 26.066s for eighth, while rookie team mate Christian Klien looked more confident on his way to 1m 27.088s which put him 13th.
Again it wasn't a great session for McLaren, though Raikkonen moved ahead of Coulthard for the first time. They lapped in 1m 26.127s and 1m 26.133s respectively. BAR also had a disappointing time, both cars having picked up understeer since yesterday. Button was 11th with 1m 26.403s, Sato only 16th on 1m 27.592s.
Sauber, too, were unhappy to be two seconds off the latest Ferraris on similar rubber, Massa just edging out team mate Giancarlo Fisichella this time, 1m 27.172s to 1m 27.195s. Both drivers had adventures, Massa going off momentarily in Turn 9, Fisichella in Turn 12.
Nick Heidfeld could have been a lot higher than 17th in his Jordan, but ruined a strong lap by running wide in the third sector. He had to be satisfied with 1m 27.755s, but that was a second clear of rookie team mate Giorgio Pantano's 1m 28.825s.
Gianmaria 'Jimmy' Bruni continues to dominate at Minardi, lapping confidently in 1m 30.496s compared to Zsolt Baumgartner's 1m 31.763s.
The stage is thus set for the two qualifying sessions this afternoon, and though Ferrari are right in the ballpark, Williams and Renault are looking a lot stronger.

10/20/14 Bloomberg
Mexican central bank Governor Agustin Carstens said drug-related violence is damping growth, hours after federal police took over security in 13 towns following the alleged massacre of students in Guerrero state. "There is no doubt that violence has been a negative factor," Carstens, 56, said in an interview at Bloomberg's Mexico City office. "This is a problem that Mexico has been tackling for the last few years. It's a deeply-rooted problem." Carstens cited a central bank analyst survey published Oct. 3 that showed public security problems as the top obstacle to Mexico's economic expansion, followed by fiscal policy, weak domestic demand and international financial instability.

I LOVE poetry, it's why i listen to music.
To me, poetry is the next best thing to lyrics. The rhythm of a person's voice reading poetry makes the beat and makes you want to listen.
If u write it, I'll read it :)
Here are two i have written:
Nothing to answer to
To talk about
To hear
No more speaking of now and then
No more I fear
I want nothing else now
I want no more things to do
I want something to help me right now
I want to stop loving you
Can you stop the ignorance?
The rumors?
The glares?
Can you stop the nonsense?
You play the game
But you don't play fair
Drama queen I must be
To deal with your coldhearted a**
To stand by your side when you don't need me
To think that we could last
In the silence
Running away
To see what else you'll pass
The test
No more chances today
Nothing I want to do with you
No more
No way
Go away!
Get out of my life
Because you can't keep your mouth shut
I'm being silent
I cannot hear you
You can't win this fight
You're very bright
But not right
For anyone who might
Take that chance
To change who you are
I can see you now
That you've gone to far
I will stay silent now
And watch what you are
No more of you now
It goes far
2) No Way Home
Cornering the sky
With the problems I've faced
I'm wanting to open my heart
To it's place
It has no face
Nor a way to be seen
But in his eyes
Is where I want to be
My shadow is facing me
Negatively outlined in the blackness that it has
Through time
Through space
Where there is no place
Good enough for me
And right when the sun hits my fingers
The spaces
Are where yours fit perfectly
Love is a powerful thing
Over time it seems old
But only fake love
Is in a heart stone cold
Like ice your kisses felt
No feeling here
Or laughter heard
And the feeling
Is hurt
When no words are said
And I'm dead
Through thoughts of you
And to never speak
Is still hurting me now
And I ask how much more I can take
When I fall alseep
And I wake
To those voices inside
My heart stops
Though I didn't die
I just laid there alone
Silence surrounding me
No way home

A Piece of Motley's Past...
Even in turmoil, I'm always amazed at how happy Nikki seemed during this period. Perhaps he was truly optimistic at the possibility of a new singer. The chance for change. A new direction. Whatever the case, Nikki's spirits are clearly high in this clip - and Tommy Lee and Mick Mars are jovial as well.
We don't see too much of John Corabi in these clips. I suppose throughout his tenure with Motley Crue, Corabi intrinsically knew that was the fifth wheel. Vince was physically gone, but his ghost remained. The nineties were tough for Glam bands. Even tougher for a band that had just kicked out a very loved and famous lead singer.
John Corabi is immensely talented - and Motley Crue's self-titled 1994 release is an amazing album. Those people that say it sucks simply can't get past the notion that it is Motley Crue without Vince. Regardless of whether this is right or wrong, Nikki Sixx owns the Motley machine and - at one time - decreed Corabi the new Vince. I consider Motley Crue among the best of their canon - and consistently rank the release within the top three efforts by the band.
Here is part one of the rehearsal footage:
Here is part two. Of the two clips, this is my favorite.
The best thing about YouTube is rediscovering a band's personal history. Fans get to live the ups and downs through moving clips. The bands themselves get to hide from the evidence!
Reader Comments (14)
Thanks so much for posting these Allyson! I do like their 1994 release with Corabi. But it was different than previous Crue albums.
Although I love Motley and they are without a doubt the Leaders of the Pack... I never really used to dig Vince's vocals AT ALL. In fact, back in the day, I hated his vocals. So, I was pretty stoked when Corabi joined the Crue. I thought their s/t disc was awesome (didn't hurt that it had Glenn Hughes singing background on a couple numbers!) and the songs were some of the best they ever wrote.
I saw them on that tour, in the Warfield in San Franciso, and I thought that Corabi was the epitome of a rock star... had all the moves, switched guitars, sounded spot on, really seemed to fit within the band... Only when they did their back catalog was I reminded that this was Motley Crue... without Vince.
Having read "The Dirt" it really seems that Crab got the shaft big time... But, I think it was just never to be, you know? Motley Crue IS Nikki, Vince, Tommy, and Mick... not Crab, Samantha M., or even Randy Castillo.
By the way, I do think Vince sounds better than he ever has... I actually like him fronting Motley now...
Thanks for the clips Allyson.
1st NOvember I'll see Ratt live in São Paulo and I tought it was a pleasure see Corabi playing....Unfortunely he quit....
some bands you can imagine with two awesome frontmen: Van Halen, AC/DC, even LA Guns....but not Motley and SKid Row...
Anyway....cool stuff!!!
Tnx Allyson
Lucas Serpa
Nikki Sixx looked kinda hippie-ish in these vids lmao dont know why.
John's a great guy, I've met him a few times and saw one of the three Gibson Guitar Clinics he did in Ohio. He sounded amazing, and it was interesting. I have some videos from the guitar clinic here: http://www.youtube.com/user/relloron
And then a few pictures here: http://s349.photobucket.com/albums/q394/makel_0430/John%20Corabi/
I think it might be good for him to leave Ratt. It let's him do his own thing, and front something. His talent wasn't getting showecased playing rhythem guitar for Ratt.

I found this product very appealing in the store. It has a lot of shimmer in it but that isn't my problem. My problem is the colour is very dark, and hard to make natural looking, especially on my fair skin. I tried it has a body bronzer but its very hard to apply. Even when my skin was completely dry it would eand up with one very dark spot where i first put the brush and it woul then be impossible to blend.
I still have a LOT of product so i am going to try adding it to lotions...
This product is TOO pigmented. I have the pressed flower bronzer from Clinique which i like much much better.

i bought this about a year and half ago and still have so much left. i would suggest only brushing on a small amount first and then gradually applying more to how you want it because the pigment is actually quite dark an shimmery. it doesnt give the most natural look due to the high shimmer but is great for feeling glamourous :)

It was a little hard to blend, and if your face was at ALL wet or moisturized, it would get very dark on those areas and wouldnt budge. But overall, I liked this product a lot. It gave me a very natural, pretty glow and created a nice faux tan.

A Moment of Silence
Tha BossMack TopSoil is tha Muthafuckin way, Catch me Flirtin' wit Bitches every Muthafuckin' Day! I puts tha Long Beach my Mackhand down daily around this muthafucka. I mean like, I receive benefits from bitches on a regular basis. You see tha BossMack TopSoil has mastered tha art of making everyone I come in contact with feel good, unless I don't like a muthafucka, ya dig? Tha BossMack TopSoil is always in a good mood, When bitches see me on relucent, Bitches get happy. I never Kick Rocks, I always believe I am going to win.
This past weekend The Long Beach Marathon went down, If you are regular reader of my shit you know I runs in that every year. Well this year I didn't run in tha Long Beach Marathon, I have ran in that Marathon every year since 2001, Tha first time I ran that Marathon my former BossBitch Kawana held me down that day, so I took tha day off and went and visited her. As you may know from my past posts, she has been decimated by a Severe Stroke. I kicked it with her and watched "America's Next Top Model" and read her some magazine articles outta Complex Magazine, Vibe and In Touch Magazine.
That Nigga T.I.
T.I. is Fucked, there is no way to escape a minimum of five years in a Federal Pen. I cannot believe this Nigga was trying to purchase guns off tha street, That alone is gonna have a nigga in tha Pen, but fucking with SILENCERS? I know several Niggas in Federal Pens now for getting caught with ONE silencer. Let me see if I remember tha consequences for getting caught with all that he got caught with as a convicted felon. If you are a convicted Felon and you get caught with one gun, I believe thats 5 Years in Prison, Oh and thats if you get caught by the regular police. Now as a convicted felon trying to purchase many guns and silencers? Oh and you send one of your boys to hook tha deal up like you a Boss, then ATF agents come outta nowhere on some raid shit like it was a long investigation? That means you are DONE, I don't know how a Nigga can escape something of this magnitude. I don't know all of tha details, But I'm going to assume this Nigga was trying to do some business with one of his peoples from tha street who he didn't know had been cracked by tha Feds, then his peoples set him up. It's fucked up, I understand Niggas be needing to have Killers on they team, but as a high profile legit nigga you need to be more careful of how you do shit. I know a Nigga like T.I. has a lot of problems out there in them streets, I know he really prolly needed them guns and silencers or else he wouldn't have put himself in that situation. These streets are crazy as fuck for Niggas.
Tha FBI, ATF and Tha DEA
Are all around muthafuckas at this moment! They are even reading my blog with you now. I remember a few years ago I was posted with my Niggas off in tha VIP at tha Century Club when in was Poppin', I was selfishly drinking a bottle of Moet with a straw, I poured not one bitch a glass of my amber fluid. We were looking down on tha dance floor from our lofty exclusive perch when a bitch in a provocative skimpy red dress caught my attention, My nigga P-Wayne noticed who I was looking at and said "You like Baby in tha Red huh?" I looked at that nigga and half smiled and sneered, then I said "She doing her thisle, She might fit on tha team, I gots to interview tha bitch" he laughed and said "That bitch right there is a Federal Agent" I said "Whoa, No shit? Wow here we are in a club packed with who's who in tha Los Angeles Underworld, and that bitch looks like every other bitch in here" I sat there and studied her for a while, that bitch was out there dropping it like it was hot, no doubt she was very good at her job. I should have known it before that Law enforcement floated like a black cloud over that club, but to know it for sure was a welcome splash of cold water on tha face. After that day I would hear many stories of Niggas that went up in that club, while they were in Los Angeles on Cocaine or Weed Business or perhaps even Gun Business and when they left outta that muthafucka the Alphabet Boys (Tha FBI, ATF and Tha DEA) took them to jail for many years, Imagine that for a minute if you would: You come outta tha club drunk and high, prolly with a new bitch, on your way to eat and beat up some puzzy, next thing you know you get pulled over by tha FBI and get arrested, then you find out you've been under investigation by them for years!
Vivica A. Fox
Vivica's in Long Beach tonite at tha Terrace Theater at 8pm, My Bitch Nakita has tickets, Curtesy of tha Art Gallery she works at, she wants me to roll with her, I'm thinking about it, perhaps I'll blow some good purple and fall off in there, maybe you can see tha BossMack TopSoil live.

Peace God!!!
Yeah I even caught word that TI's home was raided. They pulled heat on his kids and stomped one of that tried to run. Yet, those are rumors nothing for sure.
It's fucked up how cats make it big and can't change their mentality on how they do things.
My prayers are with bruh...cuz these are some rough times we are in. - 6:01 PM
