Donnie Brooks
Donnie Brooks (John Dee Abohosh, February 6, 1936 – February 23, 2007) was an American pop music singer. Brooks has been enshrined in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. Born in Dallas, Texas, Abohosh moved to Ventura, California in his teens, where he was adopted by his stepfather and took the name John Faircloth. He discovered a singing voice at a young age and recorded a few minor hits with several small record labels under the stage names Johnny Jordan, Dick Bush, and Johnny Faire, the latter gaining some sales with "Bertha Lou" in early 1959, while a cover version by Clint Miller charted nationally. Encouraged by friends Dorsey and Johnny Burnette, he persevered in the music business and in late 1959, he made his first recording using the name Donny Brooks. Called "Li'l Sweetheart," it received a lukewarm reception, but his March 1960 hit single, "Mission Bell" on Era Records demonstrated a quality voice in an upbeat song that made it to #7 on the Billboard chart. His follow-up, "Doll House"/"Round Robin" (a double-sided hit single with a color picture sleeve on Era Records) peaked at #31 in May 1960. Although he continued to record through the 1970s, he never again achieved the same level of success. In 1971, Brooks played the role of Christ in the rock opera "Truth of Truths" for Oak Records. The record was produced by Ray Ruff. Brooks toured with other performers from the early rock and roll era in oldies revival shows. Brooks died of a heart attack following a long illness on February 23, 2007. He was 71. There was a special memorial service and rockabilly show in his honor on Sunday, March 26, 2007 at the Elks Lodge in Burbank, California.

Weight Gained During Exercise Hiatus Tough to Lose, Study Finds
Posted By Worker Bee On February 6, 2008 @ 12:32 pm In Fitness,Health,Research Analysis,Weight Loss | 16 Comments
Yesterday, Mark, in the comment section [7] of Dear Mark: Chronic Cardio [8], said "It all comes down to this: fat loss depends 80% on what and how you eat." As part of the Primal Blueprint [9] the most important aspect of weight management is your diet – what you consume. But we are still left with the other 20%, and it shouldn't go overlooked. Here is a prime example of what happens if you neglect physical activity.
A study in this month's Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise suggests that fitness enthusiasts that abruptly halt their exercise plans not only gain more weight, but also have a harder time taking it off once exercise resumes.
Using data collected from the National Runners' Health Study, researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory compared the weight fluctuations of 17,280 men and 5,970 women who decreased their running distance with 4,632 men and 1,953 women who increased their running distance over a roughly seven year period.
Among the male participants running 20 or more miles per week and females running 10 miles or more per week, the pounds gained when distance was decreased was equal to the pounds lost when distance was increased. The researchers also noted that for these individuals, the weight gain associated with an exercise hiatus was generally easy to reverse once exercise was resumed.
However, among those that ran less, the weight gain associated with an interruption in exercise was far harder to take off. Specifically, runners who decreased their mileage from five to zero miles per week gained about four times as much weight as those who decreased their mileage from 25 to 20 miles per week. In addition, when exercise resumed, weight loss didn't occur until mileage exceeded 20 miles per week in men and 10 miles per week in women.
Commenting on these findings, study author Paul Williams noted that "at lower mileages, there is asymmetric weight gain and loss from increasing and decreasing exercise, leading to an expected weight gain from an exercise hiatus." However, he notes that "if you stop exercising, you don't get to resume where you left off if you want to lose weight."
He notes that the findings underscore the importance of avoiding irregular exercise patterns and suggests that future public health strategies focus on "getting people to exercise before they think they need it, and to stick with it," adding that this study proves that an "ounce of prevention is indeed worth a pound of cure."
Note that even the group involved in extended periods of running every week were better off than those doing none at all. We're not advocating high-mileage running here, but this study highlights the importance of some level of consistent physical activity to effectively manage body weight.
I'd like to know what they were eating, too. If the diet was high in carbs (in order to replace the carbs burned during running) and they kept the high carb diet when not exercising, it makes sense that muscle would be lost, fat gained and the net impact would be a metabolic setback, making it harder to lose the newly stored fat.
So tell us, what are your tips for staying active year-round and what do you do to stop yourself falling off the fitness wagon?

The Jacob Family originally came from England and migrated to Maryland in the 1600's. Eventually my branch ended up in Kentucky and then Illinois. The Cash family comes from Scotland and settled in Virginia, then later migrated to Kentucky. The Cook family is from Robertson County TN. Other names associated with the Cook lineage are Reeder, Wilson, Dorris, Hurt, Brumbelow and others. I am currently looking for info on Jonathan Reeder of Robertson CO., TN. Born in 1804 he wed Elizabeth Brumbelow. His brother Claiborne was married to Elizabeth's sister Sarah. Jonathan and Claibornes father was Isaac Reeder.

In: Business
8 Jun 2013The jewelry industry is a very rich industry because there are so many people that would like to buy jewelries either for personal or business use. This, however, does not mean that success will be guaranteed to whoever will venture into the industry. Just like any other business, one needs to be smart and industrious. There are even some people that seek the help of jewelry management consultants in New York.
There are now consulting firms that offer services for clients that happen to have a jewelry store or in any related business. They provide their clients with people that could give them the much needed assistance. Many people believe that a consultant is hired in order to take over the entire business. This, however, is just a misconception since it will be the client that will make all the business decisions.
These days, consultations have become more flexible since it can be done in various ways. The most common way is by letting a consultant work with you for days, weeks, or months. You can also get a consultation by simply talking to a consultant over a phone. Another method is by attending seminars and workshops given by a firm.
Consultants are most of the time hired for cases when a client has a problem he has a hard time solving. The good thing about consulting firms is they have people that have the right training to deal with different problems. You can pay him to identify the problem and to think of ways to solve it.
There are so many things that a consultant can help out. A good example of this would be the staffing. A consultant can be the one to do an objective analysis of the performance of his client's employees. He can point areas that needs improvement and can do measures that could help make employees more efficient.
A consultant can also be tasked to deal with issues involving stocks and inventory. There are times when owners need to get a consultant especially when they are having a hard time keeping track of their merchandise. A consultant can also help decide which goods to stock, display, scrap, or repurpose.
Consultants would also be one of the people one can rely on if he needs help in marketing. This is one of the things a consultant knows a lot about. A client can use a consultant's knowledge to gain more profit. Aside from marketing, consultants are also good in financial management.
Any person can greatly benefit from seeking a consultant. If you are still new in the industry, it would not hurt to have someone that you can consult with if you are confused. There are also instances where in it helps to have outsourced help to deal with difficult problems before one of them will ruin your business.
Jewelry management consultants in New York help jewelers and store owners. Through them, one can have a big chance of having a successful business. In business, you need to have the initiative to try different means that could help improve the business that you are running if you want to be successful.

You can find a job online, do a job online, so why should your resume be limited to the virtual equivalent of pen and paper? There's a new game in town that some of the best companies and career centers are advocating: resume websites. We're talking about something far more advanced than just a bulleted list of your education and experience though. We here at EduDemic wanted to let you in on a big secret: making a resume website is super easy and a must for any job applicant.
Curious what a resume website might look like? Here's a glimpse at one of the best ones on the web right now (below). It was just released a few days ago and is as innovative as it is elegant. We use that term intentionally because Nick Roach of Elegant Themes did the theme and once again nailed it. (Check out the live demo)
It's not hard to get this design to be your own. Simply follow our Student Branding tips and get your own website (yourname.com), install WordPress (easy to use, most hosts like GoDaddy will install for you), join Elegant Themes, and install the MyResume theme. You never need to know any coding, javascript, or other technical stuff. Elegant Themes has a built-in administrative panel that helps you do just about everything you'd ever want to do with this theme. There are some other, less elegant, web services out there that offer 'Resume Hosting' but there is nothing better than having an easy-to-use site like below. Let us know if you need help setting it up or want to learn more about our experience at Elegant Themes. (Spoiler: it's well worth the $20 a year!)

Zack Snyder Says He Saved WATCHMEN From The Terry Gilliams of the World
By Amy Ratcliffe on March 4, 2014
Where there are films based on books and comics, there are arguments about who could have told the on-screen interpretation better. It's inevitable. When it comes to Watchmen, Joel Silver has some thoughts about how his and Terry Gilliam's version would have trumped Zack Snyder's take on Alan Moore's graphic novel. Snyder, of course, disagrees.
Silver recently spoke with ComingSoon, and among other topics, he discussed Watchmen . Silver and Gilliam were working on the project with 20th Century Fox, but it never came to be. Silver says Gilliam's concept "was a MUCH much better movie" than Snyder's 2009 film. Silver went on to say Snyder was too much of a slave to the material; Gilliam, he said, told the story in the graphic novel but with a different perspective.
Silver explained, "What he did was he told the story as-is, but instead of the whole notion of the intergalactic thing which was too hard and too silly, what he did was he maintained that the existence of Doctor Manhattan had changed the whole balance of the world economy, the world political structure. He felt that THAT character really altered the way reality had been. He had the Ozymandias character convince, essentially, the Doctor Manhattan character to go back and stop himself from being created, so there never would be a Doctor Manhattan character. He was the only character with real supernatural powers, he went back and prevented himself from being turned into Doctor Manhattan, and in the vortex that was created after that occurred these characters from Watchmen only became characters in a comic book."
It sounds fascinating. Though Snyder's film was visually engaging, I wouldn't mind seeing Gilliam's spin on the material. Snyder isn't a fan, though. In an interview with the Huffington Post, he and his wife, Deborah Snyder, replied to Silver's comments. He claimed the ending Gilliam had planned was "completely insane."
Actually, he took it a little further: "Yeah, the fans would have stormed the castle on that one. So, honestly, I made Watchmen for myself. It's probably my favorite movie that I've made. And I love the graphic novel and I really love everything about the movie. I love the style. I just love the movie and it was a labor of love. And I made it because I knew that the studio would have made the movie anyway and they would have made it crazy. So, finally I made it to save it from the Terry Gilliams of this world."
That's a strong statement, and ultimately, like Deborah Snyder says, you can't win. You'll have fans that agree with Gilliam's take, and others who prefer Snyder's thoughts. It's the nature of retelling stories that have been beloved for years. Zack Snyder feels like audiences might receive Watchmen differently now: "And I believe that we've evolved — I believe that the audiences have evolved. I feel like Watchmen came out at sort of the height of the snarky Internet fanboy — like, when he had his biggest strength. And I think if that movie came out now — and this is just my opinion — because now that we've had "Avengers" and comic book culture is well established, I think people would realize that the movie is a satire. You know, the whole movie is a satire. It's a genre-busting movie. The graphic novel was written to analyze the graphic novel — and comic books and the Cold War and politics and the place that comic books play in the mythology of pop culture. I guess that's what I'm getting at with the end of Watchmen — in the end, the most important thing with the end was that it tells the story of the graphic novel. The morality tale of the graphic novel is still told exactly as it was told in the graphic novel — I used slightly different devices. The Gilliam version, if you look at it, it has nothing to do with the idea that is the end of the graphic novel. And that's the thing that I would go, 'Well, then don't do it.' It doesn't make any sense."
Thus ends the great Watchmen movie debate of 2014. We hope. How do you feel about Snyder's reply to Joel Silver? Let us know in the comments.
HT: Indiewire
An interesting story which completely validates Zack Snyder. Okay, purists would have liked to see a movie exactly like the graphic novel – with the overlaps that Alan Moore is so fond of doing. What the fans would not EVER want to see is the story being reduced to a fictional account. In many senses, it would have been as bad, if not worse, as finding Bobby Ewing in your shower.
No, Snyder's version was nearly perfect. The only three improvements I'd have made would have been the following:
– Getting the Comedian's story with the kidnapped artists into the movie. This was probably edited out for time reasons and to be more consistent with the Doctor Manhattan "balance of power" premise.
– Including the parallel of "The Black Raider" into the story. Once again, time was a constraint.
– The squid alien. The premise of having that is to get the world to unite against a common enemy. In this case, an extraterrestrial force. While the path taken in the movie is good enough, the original created by Moore was just better.
Leave Gilliam with his Ministry of Silly Walks, Brazil, Time Bandits, Holy Grail, and Fisher King. When it comes to serious graphic novel work, unless you're going to take a bizarre route, Gilliam is not your man.
Snyder's "adaptation" was a slap in the face. I don't know what the reasoning behind his "creative changes" were, but it did nothing to add to the experience that is Watchmen. Alan Moore was right in saying his works could not be adapted into film. And yes, that's most works of literature, but Snyder didn't even bother staying loyal to the source material. He's bitching about the changes made in Gilliam's run because it's a better approach than his (as far as creative tweaks go). The stench of hypocrisy coming off Snyder makes it difficult to acknowledge him as a "filmmaker" let alone critic. And mind you, this isn't even coming from a fanboy; I read Watchmen a few months before the movie. I watched the movie when it was released on video. It just irks me to hear Snyder criticize someone who did the same thing he did, but better. "I made Watchmen for myself" is something a douchebag would say. How can he speak for the fans when the fans despise his own take on the Watchmen universe?
Blah, I'm not interested in this being a feud. Zack Snyder is good at every part of filmmaking except the parts which require having a creative thought, and Terry Gilliam is notoriously only good at those parts. If I have to pick between watching Brazil and a Romero remake with all the political commentary vacuumed out, I think I'll just turn off the TV.
From a visually, Zack Snyder's was almost perfect. The Soundtrack to it was amazing, it is hard to imagine on what can be improved besides including what would be cut for time reasons. This film was very true to the graphic novel compared to some other film adaptations of other books, comics, or graphic novels. Just look at Wanted, or V for Vendetta, those were completely altered, and not for better.
When Zac produces anything 1/10 as good as Time Bandits or 12 Monkey's I may start giving a fuck about his opinion.
I don't anticipate that will ever happen.
Wonder what LEN would think of this statement since he edited watchmen… http://www.nerdist.com/2014/03/the-mutant-season-120-len-wein/
[…] By Amy Ratcliffe […]
Snyder's Watchmen was about as close to perfect an adaptation as you could get. Sure, as some commenters before me are venting, the irritable purists didn't like Snyder's "changes" but the only really significant change he made (having Dr Manhattan become the threat the world rallies against, rather than the genetic squid monster) is not only far more concise, makes more sense, is in keeping with the source material and Dr Manhattan's own story but it's, dare I say it, *whisper* maybe even better than Moore's version.
It makes more sense any road.
Anyway, before I get raked over the coals for saying that, I do think Snyder's comments are a bit dickish. That being said, as much as I love Terry Gilliam and as much as I would be intrigued to have seen his take on Watchmen, it would have been batshit crazy and probably not in a good way.
I'm a huge fan of the comic and the film. I have the original theatrical cut, as well as the animated version of the black freighter comic and the director's cut which includes the Bernie subplot, the Black Freighter story intercut into it, plus a number of deleted scenes from the theatrical. It's pretty long, about 3.5 hours, but it's well worth the watch. It's one of my favourite movies and Patrick Wilson and Jackie Earle Haley both give amazing performances.
Who saves us from the savior?

On the morning of Day 2 a private bus will take you to a section of the Great Wall of China located about 2 hours from Beijing. One of the greatest structures ever built by humans, the Great Wall was constructed in stages over 2000 years and stretches 6000 kilometres westwards from the Sea to western China. The section we visit is called Mutianyu and is one of the best preserved Ming Dynasty sections reachable from Beijing. Arriving at the wall we'll be able to walk up and explore a stretch by foot while taking in views as it winds along the mountain ridges. On the Day 3 and 4 we'll discover Tiananmen Square and inside the walls of the Emperor's Palace - the Forbidden City. We'll also explore the unique Temple of Heaven with it's exciting parks surroundings and find opportunity for a walking tour featuring some of Beijing's traditional alleyways and backstreets known as hutongs.

Explore Xi'an like the locals with a bike ride along the ancient city walls, this evening visit the Muslim Quarter and local markets. The centre of Xi'an is enclosed by an enormous city wall - the top is a great place to ride a bike during a day or to view the setting sun in the evening. At night, head out to the Muslim Quarter for some of the best street food in China – the spicy beef and lamb kebabs are always a favourite. On day 6 we visit the famous Terracotta Warriors, built over 2000 years ago to protect the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, approximately 1 hour from town. Over 6000 life-size warriors have been discovered. Spend half a day exploring this archaeological wonder.

I need a suggestion for the O-Ring thickness to use on a hydraulic cylinder I am making for a project. Choices are: .070, .103 or .139 thick.
The cylinder has a 1.125" bore, 2.25" stroke is single acting with a miximum force of about 800 lbs (800 - 1200)PSI. Operation is via a hand pump so its slow and the number of operations would be less than 20 cycles per year.
I found pistons in Bailey's but they don't detail out the O-ring groove

Why can't you just use Wikipedia?
Wikipedia can be useful for some research, especially popular culture topics, and particularly when the entries are well-documented with citations. However, it should NEVER be cited in an academic paper. We have so many authoritative, high-quality resources available in the library and accessible online, that you have no excuse not to use them.
And to further drive home my point about Wikipedia not being a valid source, please enjoy this clip from the Colbert Report. Trust me, it's really amusing!

Books in our library are arranged using Library of Congress Classification. The books you can check out are located on the second floor of the library. If you ever have trouble finding a book you want, PLEASE ask for help at the Research Desk!
To find reserve items, click on the words "Course Reserves" in the library catalog. Then you can search for items by your professor's name, by class, or title of the item. This guide can also help you find reserves.
Books from other USMAI Libraries
You can also borrow books from any of the USMAI affiliations by selecting the "choose campus" link at the top of the catalog page and then selecting "USMAI All Campuses." When you find a book you want that is not in Blackwell, click the "request" button and use your ID number to login. You can have the book delivered to Blackwell within 3 or 4 days. Here's a short tutorial that shows you how it's done!
Here are the basics: (Check out this handy dandy chart for more information!)
Popular Magazines/Newspapers:
glossy, pretty pages with lots of advertisements and pictures
written by hired reporters for a general audience
short, easily read articles
Scholarly Journals:
somewhat dull looking - very few pictures or advertisements
written by experts in the field and reviewed by other scholars before publication
long articles with citations and bibliographies at the end
Why should you use the library and not Google?
Most of the time, scholarly publications are not available to the general public, nor are they available for free on the internet. Individuals or organizations (such as a library) subscribe to these publications. Because subscriptions are expensive, many choose to access this content through libraries.
Often, content from scholarly journals is indexed in databases that the library subscribes to. The content is on the web, but it is not accessible unless you are affiliated with the institution that is subscribing. It isn't the same thing as just finding a website through a regular Google search. Sometimes the full text of the article is available through the database; other times it is only a citation to the article and you will need to find the print version of the article in the library or order the article through interlibrary loan if we don't subscribe to it.
So, basically what I'm saying is that the only way you can access this scholarly information for free is by using the library databases!
We have several databases you can use to search for journal, magazine, or newspaper articles. Some of them only give a citation to the article, and some have the full-text. Here is a list of databases you might want to try.
Note: if you are off campus, you will be prompted to log in with your Gull Card barcode number.
Academic Search Complete - a multidisciplinary database from EBSCO with a mix of scholarly and popular resources, a lot of full-text and Find It links when there is no full-text available. This is a great place to start your research. AND, the EBSCO databases can be searched simultaneously. Click here to see how!
America: History and Life - an EBSCO database where you will find scholarly articles about American history including immigration and different ethnic/racial groups.
JSTOR - scholarly full-text resources; the newest documents are 3-5 years old. Lots of Sociology journals in here! Some tips: Use the Advanced Search and limit to the disciplines where you want to find articles. Also limit to Articles and remember this database is searching the full text of the articles and sorts results by relevance, not date.
Lexis-Nexis Academic - this database contains full-text world news, legal and business information. Great for international newspapers!
National Newspapers - a collection of full-text major newspapers including The New York Times and Washington Post.
Columbia International Affairs Online - full text theory, research, and case studies on international affairs.
Humanities International Complete - database covering the Humanities with some articles on International Studies.
Social Sciences Abstracts - articles and citations for interdisciplinary fields such as addiction studies, anthropology, corrections, economics, gender studies, gerontology, minority studies, political sciences, psychology, sociology, and more. An EBSCO database.
It's a bit like magic, really. The Find It button does three things:
Looks in all of our databases to see if the document you want is available full-text in another of our databases. If so, it links you to it!
Links you to the library catalog when we have the item you want in print or microform.
Links you to ILLiad (interlibrary loan) so you can borrow the item from another library if we don't have access electronically or in print.
The Find It button is YOUR FRIEND!!! Here's a tutorial that lets you see the Find It Button in action!
Plagiarism is not cool. Of course you want to make sure you give proper credit to any source that you use to write your papers, whether you directly quote or paraphrase. This guide helps students understand what plagiarism is and how to avoid it.

Our Rating:
At a time when the 'world car' concept was becoming highly fashionable, the Ford Escort entered the fray in 1968 as the replacement to the aging, but always popular, Ford Anglia. Over the years it underwent several styling revisions, and right through the 1970's it remained one of the most popular cars around.
The first major styling revision occurred in 1975, giving the car a crisp lean flowing style that was well in proportion and arguably a cut above the small car offerings emanating from Japan. The interior was always functional, but was somewhat Spartan in comparison to the Japanese cars – but on the plus side the seats were extremely comfortable even on very long drives.
Apart from the wonderful and exciting RS models, the
was the top of the bunch, and at least this model could match it with the Japanese in the features list department. There were naturally better quality coverings and carpet and such extras as a digital clock (set on the opposite of the dash to the driver), a cassette player, and special
The Australian Escort was a concoction of parts sourced both locally, along with parts imported from France and of course Britain. By the late 1970's and early 1980's the Escort had matured to a point where it was almost suffering from an identity crisis. In its showroom-floor guise it was a car that presented as the perfect weekday commuter, alternatively it made for the ideal second car, but while undoubtedly adept at fulfilling either role this was selling the Escort seriously short.
Over the years of production the Escort emerged as a tried, proven, and immensely successful competition car, especially on the world rally circuit. Looking at the Escort's sporting career, it is hard to find anything notable that this delightful car had not won.
Owners soon discovered that it could be driven mild or wild, but either way its ability to please was something that was becoming increasingly rare as the austere 80's approached. Even in the early 1980's, when the Escort could be considered a little past its use-by date, the base model 1.6 litre version provided a surprisingly brisk drive – all the more surprising given the Escort was still fitted with a somewhat old-fashioned overhead valve engine. The 1.6 unit produced a healthy 46 kW of power, it then driving through a very slick and sporty four-speed manual gear-box.
Those seeking extra zing could opt for the sporty 2.0 litre Kent version – a popular choice that had the Escort fighting well above its station when departing the traffic lights, leaving a bemused look on many drivers of larger engined cars. Combined with the Escort's better-than-average power was
to match, making the little Escort quite a lot of fun to drive. It was adept at zipping in and out of city traffic as nimbly as any of the competitive Japanese cars, and even offered just a little extra oomph when out on the open road. , but it has that little extra on the open.
As the Escort had replaced the Anglia, so the Laser would replace the Escort. Some of the magic was lost, the Escort had always looked and felt like a big car made smaller, by comparison the Laser only ever looked small, and used no styling cues from the larger model Ford's. Worse still, the Laser was
front wheel drive
– and soon there would be no small cars to retain the rear wheel drive set-up.

I still own my gold metalic 1979 ford escort 4door 1600ltr engine, this is my only car that I have ever owned (divorce present), she is knicknamed "Goldie" where I live and today has only clocked up 167,000 klms. I wish they would make similiar cars, as most cars today all look alike have terrible seats, and you can't see where you are going as the dash is so high and large. Regards Janet

THE CHOSEN 1'S ARE COMING.... Bred in the Lehigh valley, this male/female, Rap/Hip Hop duo, seemed like an unlikely collaboration, coming from their different styles, and backgrounds. Destiny would have it that five years ago, in 2006, this pair would cross paths, while chilling in Allentown, with an immediate rapport that blossomed into musical chemistry. Drama, 29 years old, hailing from allentown, Pa has been rapping since age 17. She comes from a third generation of musicians, which includes her Grandfather, a drummer& vocalist, who performed with the likes of the Big Band Era's Harry James. Her mother, a lead vocalist- percussionist, previously worked for local record company BIE records, and held the position of Executive Director of The Lehigh Valley Music Awards from 2001-2006, and is still currently performing , plus managing their carreers. Drama herself , has played drums, since age 6, following in her grandfathers footsteps, before settling into her true passion as a Rap/ Hip Hop artist. Her musical style is East Coast , Up North Flava, and she has been influenced by artists: Wu Tang Clan, Biggie Smalls, Missy Elliott, Lil' Kim & Rah Digga. K.O. King Oblivious- 22 years old, hailing from West Palm Beach, Florida, started rapping at the tender age of 12. His grandfather, was a known sax player in the community, but it was the poetic side of the lyrics in music that inspired him to write, and gives him his verbal prowess. He has been writing poetry since a young child, and in sixth grade had one of his poems , entitled Clouds, published in the book- Analogy of poetry for young Americans. His style is down South flow, influenced by artists: T.I., BG, Gucci Man & Trick Daddy. Coming from two different worlds , with individual styles, makes their collaboration unique, and compliments them in a way to become a musical powerhouse. They aspire to make music that people can relate to, and vibe with , with issues that are on the money . Their style has been described as refreshing and likened to the days of true "Old School " Hip Hop.

Fisker Lays Off 75% of Workforce as Bankruptcy Looms
Leonardo DiCaprio may love his Fisker Karma, but the California automaker is listing like the Titanic. Less than a month after founder Henrik Fisker quit, the boutique car company laid off some 160 employees, the Detroit News reports, as it struggles to secure funding. That's about 75% of its workforce. Automotive News reports the automaker is now facing a federal lawsuit for failing to give those employees adequate notice.
Fisker set sail in 2007, but the voyage has seen icebergs galore. We reviewed the $103,000 (including destination charge) Karma plug-in hybrid in March 2012, and we found it, well, quirky. That same month, Consumer Reports bought a Karma that promptly broke down. Fisker recalled the car twice during the next five months, the second time for possible electrical problems that could lead to a fire.
Now the Detroit News estimates Fisker has just $30 million left. Just how little is that? Consider this: Bloomberg News reports the automaker had raised more than $1 billion from private sources plus $529 million in low-interest Department of Energy loans — part of the agency's controversial $25 billion Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing program, whose recipients range from Tesla to Ford. The DOE stopped payments in 2011 after Fisker failed to meet conditions for the loan. Having already spent $193 million of the funding, Fisker suspended plans to build a more affordable car called the Atlantic at a shuttered GM plant in Delaware.
In its six-year history, Fisker has sold about 2,500 Karmas worldwide, according to Bloomberg.

Senate Passes $838 Billion Economic Stimulus Bill
The Senate has approved an $838.2-billion economic stimulus bill by a 61-37 vote. The margin was slightly higher than the 60-vote minimum needed for approval, as Republicans Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, both of Maine, and Pennsylvania's Arlen Specter, joined all 58 Democrats and Independents to vote for the bill.
The Senate package now must be reconciled with the estimated $819.5-billion stimulus measure that the House passed on January 28. The House bill has about $160 billion for construction programs; the Senate's contains about $130 billion.
The Senate bill's passage is not necessarily good news for architects, as it no longer contains funds earmarked for school construction. The original Senate bill had $19.5 billion directed toward school construction, of which $16 billion was for K-12 facilities and $3.5 billion for colleges and universities. Funds for greening federal buildings were also reduced, from $6 billion to $4.5 billion.
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has teamed up with 66 organizations, including the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the National Educational Association, to send a letter to Congressional leaders urging them to restore the school-construction portion of the bill. "We call on Congress to include the $14 billion for green, high-performing schools in the final version of the stimulus bill," writes Paul Mendelsohn, the AIA's vice president of government community relations.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
The association also is testifying Wednesday morning during a hearing before the House Transportation Infrastructure Sub Committee. Harry Gordon, chairman of the architecture firm Burt Hill and founding member of the AIA's Committee on the Environment, will speak at the hearing, scheduled for 9 a.m.
Shortly after today's vote, the Senate quickly named its representatives to the conference with the House, selecting Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada), Appropriations Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii), Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Montana), Appropriations Committee Member Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi), and Finance Committee Member Charles Grassley (R-Iowa). The House has not yet announced its conferees.

Blackout gives MU a huge black eyeLast Updated: Dec. 23, 2000
The bad news was that nobody in the Milwaukee area who wasn't seated in the Bradley Center saw this game. Wisconsin was forced to struggle mightily to gain a 52-47 victory Saturday. This was not, by any stretch of the imagination, a pretty contest, but there was still much to be admired in the effort. The young Golden Eagles, without enough options on offense, in against one of the toughest defensive teams on the planet, could only stay in this game with their own defense. They were impressive in this effort, even in defeat. "I do want to say that I really am impressed with what Tom's doing here," said UW acting head coach Brad Soderberg, referring to Marquette coach Tom Crean.
"Their kids are playing their tails off. I see so much of the Michigan State system in place, but they haven't got it going on full cylinders yet. He's going to make it happen. I'm very impressed with the work that he's doing and I think his staff has done a good job. Any time a coach gets his kids to play as hard as they do, he's doing the right thing." It wasn't the glorious upset, it wasn't the breakthrough game, but it was still the kind of thing that was worth watching. But in the Milwaukee area you couldn't watch, because this game was blacked out. If you lived in Madison, you could have seen it on Midwest Sports Channel. But right here in Milwaukee, no. Marquette University said no to you, your television, your remote control and your desire to watch this game in the comfort of your very own living room. No sellout, no TVThe position of Bill Cords, Marquette athletic director, is understandable. But I believe that it could also be termed short-sighted.The Marquette-Wisconsin game typically has not been televised in the Milwaukee area when it was not a sellout. Cords said Saturday that when he had once relented and allowed the game to be televised, he received complaints from Marquette season ticket-holders for doing so. "We always blacked out that game until the one we played on New Year's Eve, and we didn't even come close to where we were two years before in trying to sell tickets," Cords said. "Ever since I've been here, we've never televised that (Wisconsin) game, except that one. And we're not going to do it again." The only exception to that rule would be, Cords said, if the game was a sellout, or very close to a sellout. The announced attendance Saturday was 15,613, which was more than 3,000 short of capacity. Maybe the weather kept some people away. Maybe Christmas shopping kept some people away. Needed exposureMarquette athletics, of course, need the revenue from basketball ticket sales. The idea is that, by not televising the Wisconsin game, you will sell more tickets. And maybe you do sell a few more that way.But you also alienate people, the same people who might support your program in the future. And what you want, in this day and age of intense competition for the discretionary dollar, is exposure. You don't grow support for your program by keeping the single largest rivalry on your schedule out of the view of the general public. You don't increase your potential support by hiding the effort, the emotion, the excitement that this rivalry produces. No, you put this game on television. Milwaukee area citizens and basketball fans will watch. And they just might say: "You know, Marquette lost this game, but those kids played their guts out. Let's take in a game." Saturday, those same people were once again told to have a radio and / or get lost. |

Raw video: briefing on antioch bone fragment find
bone fragment? holy chit!
This bee my opinion
nurse, were you able to hear why they condemned the house? My phone rang just after I heard about the bone fragment.
~ small bone fragment found on the neighbor's property that PG had access to.. he had been living in the SHED over there! (what kinda person who has a house lives in a neighbor's shed?)
~ the house has been condemned due to substandard and "junkyard" living conditions and unsafe structures that violate code and anyone on the property (other than searchers ) will be arrested for tresspassing
~ they are still searching. It is taking a lot of time.
~ they are not yet sure if the bone fragment is human or animal
This bee my opinion
Please help locate Mark Dribin http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sho...ht=Mark+Dribin and Ilene Misheloff http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sho...lene+Misheloff and bring them home.
Juan Martinez with the help of Judge Stephens is going to secure a Death Penalty conviction!! No way will Jodi walk with LWP!!! Here comes Perryville! And that is my opinion.
Here is a direct link to the raw briefing. If you don't directly link, the video will get moved down the list and eventually lost. In a week we won't be able to find it. Most videos have a "share" option for a direct link.
NO Q & A - or at least its not on that link. Was that bone fragment found by a cadavar dog? Does anyone know if that question was asked. Remember all the research from the Anthony case about the dogs - good cadavar dogs won't hit on animals - remember? I ain't getting the "condemn" notice - because of the "junkyard" conditions and "unsafe outbuildings" usually doesn't "condemn" the main house or main structure. I still wanna know what they found inside. So many questions - so little answers.
well that's sad isn't it..... to bad they didn't realize the uninhabitable and structures not up to standard or codes!! i'm venting now .. a lot of people let this girl and her babies down...Stay strong Jaycee
Support Our Troops
I just wanted to pause and appreciate the fact that the media hasn't been able to get to JC, the two girls and her mother yet. HOORAY!
Also to thank Carl Probyn for shouldering the media attention on the family so far. That's not easy either. He's separated from his wife, JC's mom, but he's still being a good Dad for JC and protecting her by deflecting some of the media's glare. Thank you, Carl.
Maybe the media actually has a conscience in this case.
Hear hear, I too think mr. Probyn has done a good job and hope that this is all with full cooperation of Terry. They may never be able to make things work again but at least he can have his life back. I am glad he's not pushing to meet Jaycee but I'm sure he would like to!
You are correct that Cadaver dogs do NOT hit on animal bone. So that's very interesting.
I think they probably have to condemn the house legally in order to maintain consistent control over it and leave it as long as they need it without worrying about someone with some property interest in it trying to make some claims or get access.
Why would he be living in his neighbor's shed..........?
Maybe he took other victims there. Remember, he had all the locks reversed on all the doors to the house.
LOL I know MV, there is really nothing funny about this case, but after I posted that I was on the phone with my mom talking to her about it and she was all "Well, your father lives in the detached garage~!" I was like ...."oh yeah....."
THough, I am sure PG is a much more sinister reason for being in there than just to get away from the women!
along with a brief interview of Phillip Garrido's father.
Thankx Leila - it was also stated on LKL tonight that the fragment was found by a dog. What is your take on that? Why just a "fragment" was there nothing else around it? Do you think they are saying that to justify ALL the dogs that were brought in? And why say they don't know if its an animal?

Perhaps this is a good opportunity to thank you for participating in the test. We think it went fairly well - there's certainly been some high-quality feedback for Sage to digest.

If given the choice would have preferred a boxed cd rather than the download and key.
Reason i have reverted back to my excel accounts but if i need to use the sage in the near future not keen on going through all the hassle that other testers have had to get registered.
by the way any other betas in the pipline?

We have some irons in the fire, but nothing arranged at the moment.
