Writer 'confused'
Mr. Andrew Blaine ("Republican hypocrisy," Your Views, May 12) seems to be a bit confused about terrorism, the Sandy Hook shooting, and the recently considered Senate gun-control bill.
Although the label of "terrorism" is normally applied to violent acts committed with the intention of affecting policy by inciting fear in the public and lawmakers, Mr. Blaine's letter suggests that any act of violence committed by mentally unstable individuals should receive the same label.
So, to answer his question: No, James Holmes and Adam Lanza are not terrorists, regardless of how horrific their crimes were. Timothy McVeigh, on the other hand. ...
Mr. Blaine also implies that these individuals have unimpeded access to guns. Again, Mr. Blaine is confused. Lanza stole his guns. The weapons used in Columbine were illegally bought by minors and illegally modified.
Seung-Hui Cho (the Virginia Tech shooter) omitted vital information in order to pass his background check. These and countless other incidents involved firearms which were already illegal and which would not be affected by an additional requirement for law-abiding citizens to undergo background checks before purchasing firearms. Before passing new laws, shouldn't we enforce the ones already in effect?
Finally, although one poll suggests that 91 percent of Americans favor additional gun-control regulations, others show that 43 percent oppose the same. This is possible only because the responses can be influenced by the questions themselves, so statistics without identifiable sources should be distrusted.

We need weeds
Mahalo to Norman Bezona for his article on weeds. A little change in perception of weeds could turn the war on weeds into a warming up to weeds.
Many gardeners have found that weeds buried deep inside the compost pile turn into excellent mulch for growing food, flowers, trees and shrubs.

3. The US military is without parallel. To be sure, it has been stretched thin by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But it remains the strongest fighting force in the world.
As just one indicator of its high-tech advantage, it has mastered stealth flight, while the Russians and Chinese are still in the theoretical planning stages for such technology – far behind America.
4. America's competitors lack good allies. Russia and China are suspicious of each other. Iran is at odds with key Arab countries. North Korea is a pariah. Libya is still in political rehab. Syria is trying to find itself in a globalized world. Meanwhile, the US has cautious but real allies in NATO, the European Union, the G-7 industrialized countries, and elsewhere that help it meet its national and international goals.
5. American ideals are becoming universal. Slowly but surely, self-government, free enterprise, and individual liberty are gaining ground around the world.
Take democracy. A century ago, just 2 of every 10 countries scored a 6 or higher in Freedom House's democracy scale – which ranges from 10 (completely democratic) to minus 10 (completely autocratic). In 2007, nearly 6 in 10 did.

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowGilbert's Bakery has all the telltale signs of a neighborhood Cuban pastelería: three-tier cakes with shiny meringue curlicues displayed in the window, patrons bustling with cafecitos in hand, and plump white loaves of Cuban bread poking out of woven baskets like curious onlookers. Though you'll find staples such as pastelitos (90 cents each) and croquetas (80 cents each), the main draw of this 30-year-old bakery chain is creative execution. Alongside usual flavors such as guava and cheese are pastry fillings like apple, coconut, spinach, asparagus, and bacalao. Typical deli fare is upgraded to quiches stuffed with French cheeses and Spanish chorizo ($2.50), small bocadito sandwiches slathered in roasted red pepper spread ($1.10), and petite medianoche sandwiches served tapas-style ($1.10). And at a massive six inches, the Cuban crackers ($2.14 for a half-dozen) look like they survived a radioactive explosion but taste like salty, lardy perfection. There's also an extensive catering menu with inventive items such as salmon flan ($60, serves 25) and more than 20 specialty cake options. The concept of old-world Havana bakery shop meets gourmet deli seems to hit the spot - there's hardly a moment when patrons en route to work or a gigantic family aren't huddled around the counters waiting for their number to be called.

I was grocery shopping a couple of days ago, and a little boy was trying to find his mom. He was calling out "MOM!" until he found her. Once he found her, he threw something in the buggy. She said, "Get that out of my cart, it has carbs." I died laughing, but she was so serious.
MyPlate allows us to see that we need every food group. It is all about portion control. So instead of cutting out all carbs, find the perfect balance for your family. Make food fun again, and have a wonderful week!

The shirts are much smaller then their advertised size, XXL felt like a medium. On top of that the material quality is like that of tissue paper, just complete garbage shirts and over priced to boot. Spend your money else where unless this company learns to get some "quality" material shirts.

Imagine a musician single-handedly redefining what an instrument can do, elevating it to a whole other level. That's what the late Max Roach did for the drums. Whether its Jazz or rock or funk, there isn't a drummer today who isn't somehow influenced by what Roach played.
But that's only a part of Max Roach's story, which spanned the Harlem Renaissance, the development of modern jazz, right up to hip hop and multi-media. Over a fifty-year career he blazed his way across genres as percussionist, bandleader and composer.
Max Roach tells his story with frankness and a characteristic sharp wit, supported by "special guests" including Dizzy Gillespie, and noted drummers Paul Motion and Art Taylor. Max Roach--Drums Unlimited is narrated by Kenny Washington, a host of shows on public radio and Sirius, and himself a well-known jazz drummer. Washington brings his own drum-knowledge to the table, as well as a friendship with Max Roach.
Max Roach passed away in August, 2007. Produced by Ben Shapiro.

Gabrielle Union is Not Pregnant With Lil Dwyane
Categories: The Z List
"No, I am not pregnant and please let the world know I will only be pregnant after I am married, and that will be years from now," Union told Dime Wars. "I want to play roles that let me wear a bikini and run around like a badass! LOL It's kinda hard to do all that with a baby bump!"
"When erroneous reports of pregnancy pop up for different actors or artists, that can stop us from getting work...it's hard enough in this recession trying to find a job without our own people putting up unnecessary roadbloacks for us to feed our families."
Unfortunately, Union doesn't have any confirmed upcoming work listed on her IMDB, which really is a shame. Hollywood, why are you depriving us of seeing Gabrielle Union running around in a bikini like a badass? Hmmm? Coincidentally, Hollywood, I do have a spec script lying around entitled Bikini Badasses, if anyone is interested...

Chromatics' Johnny Jewel Shares Autumnal 'Black & White' Synth Mix
Nothing says "welcome to the fall" like a fat stack of awesomely gooped, synthsizer-swole, mellow dance jams assembled by a bona fide expert thereof. At least, that's what Chromatics and Glass Candy main brain Johnny Jewel appears to be going for with his new free-to-download 45-minute set, Black & White: A Mix for Autumn. Indeed, if chillwave is the sound of summer (well, circa 2009), then these cooler feeling songs are the next logical step as the year progresses toward winter. Better still, they span an impressive range of time, with tracks from Kraftwerk, Nico, and film composer Bill Conti blending kindly with works from Blonde Redhead, Xeno & Oaklander, and '90s 4AD act His Name Is Alive. As Jewel explained on the SoundCloud page for the mix, "It's the end of Autumn, & all of the Reds, Greens, & Yellows have disintegrated into Black & White. Everything is buried by the snow...Perfect weather for locking yourself in the studio with a synthesizer & your favorite records...I put together a collage of songs that, for one reason or another...always remind me of Autumn. Something Old. Something New. Something Borrowed. Something Blue."
Johnny Jewel, Black & White: A Mix for Autumn track list:
1. "Lamuka (Johnny Jewel Edit)" - Zazou Bikaye Cy1
2. "The Fading Faces" - Symmetry
3. "Nuit" - Xeno & Oaklander
4. "The President is Gone" - John Carpenter & Alan Howarth
5. "Dans Mes Reves (Test Pressing)" - Desire
6. "One Night at the Raw Deal" 12″ - Twisted Wires
7. "Ceremony (16 Track Demo)" - Chromatics Feat. Ida No On Lead Guitar
8. "Stars and Houses" (Feeling Without Touching 12″) - Glass Candy
9. "It's More Fun To Compute (Symmetry Edit)" - Kraftwerk
10. "Home is in Your Head" - His Name Is Alive
11. "Alone in the Ring" - Bill Conti
12. "As We Could Ever" - His Name Is Alive
13. "Boy Girl" - Blonde Redhead
14. "Afraid" - Nico

I pose the question because in our current heatwave all I hear is people moaning they are too warm,however the rest of the year the same people moan about the cold weather.Just wondering which you peoples would choose.Me I love roasting my ass off!
I absolutely hate the cold. Everday during the winter when i walk out to the car i just constantly bitch about how cold it is...and my best friend can vouch for that :P I do complain sometimes bout the heat but i would rather be complainin about it rather than the cold.
Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them.
I've actually thought about this before. I think about things like that...
Anyways, I said too warm because when you're warm, all you have to do is put on a fan or A/C and you're ok. When it's cold, sure you can put on more clothes and blankets, but the cold still gets through. Like in you toes and face. I hate that.
Used to be it was a man's world and a woman's place was in the home...
they can kiss that shit goodbye.
I can tolerate more cold than heat, but I prefer neither
"Secrecy is the art of hiding unbeknownst information from people." ~ Ilpalazzo
Sence I have asthma it is harder for me to breathe when it is warm so I pic cold out of defalt, but even if I didn't, I would still choose cold. I love snuggling up in blankets and stuff.
Ok so I voted on too warm but I love snuggling under blankets with people so I would really miss that alot. So now im thinking I should have choose too cold. I choose too warm though because my twin said she'd rather be too warm so she made me pick by the fact we're twins and well how could I choose diffrent lol.
"Obsession rules us all, and we obey."
.. ya.. i'm all the way for too cold.. but i would rather b normal temerature.. i find when you get to warm you lose energie.. and you feel all greasy and stuff.. but i love running in the heat.. it make's you feel good.. but.. still.. i rather b to cold the tooo hot.. .. but i do live in canada.. and the cold weather is awesome :P
if you're too cold, you can put on a sweater, if you're too hot, you can only take off so much clothing.
As for running, i'm all for running in the rain... my fave!
If you dont take life into your own hands now you'll be lost forever. now is your time
I absolutely hate it when I'm in a room, in a strapless dress, and it's FREEZING. I also can't stand my feet being cold.
I love warm.

Will Microsoft Save RIM From a Certain Death to Beat Apple?
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Picture, if you will, a group of senior executives gathering around to (literally) perform a funeral for the top two rival products as a way to symbolize their intent to bury their competition.
Of course, the cryptic representation was all in fun and was nothing different than a typical pep rally at your local high school, where the message to the crowd is always the same -- "not only are we gonna win, but we're gonna beat them by this much." Except, they often forget that they actually have to play and execute and realize that the other team is not just going to play dead.
In this example, however, the products that were "laid to rest" was an iPhone from Apple (AAPL - Get Report) and a BlackBerry by Research In Motion (RIMM). The funeral procession, which took place two years ago, was performed by none other than the executives at software giant Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report), who upon the release of their Windows Phone 7, anointed themselves the official "iPhone and BlackBerry killers."
Interestingly, I suppose you can say that the company was half right as the BlackBerry has now died. However, it is without a doubt that Microsoft, marred by its own phone casualty, had little to do with RIM's homicide. As much as it would love to be credited for it, there have been too many witnesses to state otherwise.
The case has already been tried and judgments have been passed. The murder of the BlackBerry was committed by none other than Apple and assisted by Google's (GOOG) Android. Now, as for the iPhone and the attempts made on its life, not only has Microsoft failed, but in the process it suffered some life-threatening injuries as it has failed to make a dent in the smartphone market. It soon realized that not only was it out of its league, but it came to the realization that in order to better compete with Apple and Google, it needed help. Its response was to partner with Nokia (NOK) to see if a joint venture could do to its rivals what both firms have been unable to do on their own. However, Nokia was also in disarray and not only fighting for its own life against Apple, but it lost its status to Samsung as the world's leading device manufacturer in terms of global sales. So as it stands, Samsung and Apple now account for over 70% of the global smartphone market. So what's left for Microsoft? With Nokia, it has established a partnership of two companies that are suffering declining share in a product category they vowed to win. Now the pressure is on Microsoft, which firmly placed its foot in its mouth two years ago with its funeral bit and today appears committed to making it a self-fulfilling prophecy. However, the numbers suggest that consumers around the globe care very little about its promise and more about the product -- and, to date, Microsoft has not delivered much on the product side whereas its competition has. What is also interesting about this "partnership" with Nokia is that it has only worked in Microsoft's favor while hurting Nokia's market share. Either Nokia has not been smart enough to realize this or it does not care. In either situation, it is a dead company walking as Microsoft has done nothing but sucked the life out of its business. Yet, Microsoft still faces an uphill battle as it only hopes to make a dent with its upcoming release of its Windows Phone 8. I think it will require another Nokia-type partnership if it hopes to make a meaningful run on the iPhone. This time it will look to exhume Research In Motion and what is left of the Blackberry's lifeless body. The company that Microsoft once promised to bury can now become a valuable component in its mission to once and for all kill the iPhone. But will it make the call? Microsoft can afford RIM today for pennies on the dollar. It has the cash to make this deal happen yesterday if it wanted to. And it is one that makes perfect sense. The fact of the matter is, even though RIM continues to deal with its own competitive issues, the company still generates a decent amount of cash and is a formidable player within enterprise. In RIM, Microsoft would acquire products such as the BB10 software, a growing music service as well as Mobile Fusion, a product that supports the collaboration of enterprise mobile devices, even that of competing models such as the iPhone and Google's Android.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Join the hundreds of thousands of fans who have sang, danced and celebrated with the band.

When you're looking at a good-sized receiver nestled in an expansive dashboard, it's only natural to assume that a touchscreen DVD/nav receiver will fit right in. Alas, that's not always the case.

Oklahoma Feels Wrath of Tornadic Activity 10/02/2009
OKLAHOMA CITY (February 10, 2009) - The Salvation Army is responding to a slew of tornadoes that have hit the State of Oklahoma.
The National Weather Service is reporting confirmation of tornado touchdowns in Pawnee, Lone Grove, and Edmond, Oklahoma. Golf ball to baseball hail has been reported from multiple locations. Currently, 29,000 electric customers are reported to be without power. This is in addition to the nearly 2,000 electric customers in Oklahoma and 27,000 electric customers in Arkansas still without power due to the January 26, 2009, ice storm.
The Salvation Army is working very closely with local and state Emergency Management to ensure the needs of those impacted are met. Further information will be sent as soon as we have additional information.
Financial donations are needed to support relief efforts. The Salvation Army asks those who want to help the individual and families affected by the February 10 tornadoes to visit www.salvationarmyusa.org or call 1-800-SAL-ARMY and designate AOK Division February tornadoes. Monetary donations will ensure The Salvation Army can meet the most immediate needs of those impacted by the storm.

Into the dark days of confusion about modern translations, a light of clarification has shone. James R. White has produced a balanced, thorough, clear, and uplifting book. The King James Only Controversy will serve many useful purposes. It will build confidence in modern Greek texts for those who suspect the plethora of twentieth-century translations. Those who are unfamiliar with issues of textual criticism will find a friendly presentation of crucial issues. Anyone confused by the King James Version Only (hereafter KJV Only) position will find a fair representation of the position, along with a persuasive refutation of its arguments. If any voice can pierce the high decibel noise of rhetoric, ad hominem arguments, and fomenting hatred that pervade the dialogue over this issue, James R. White's plea stands the best chance.
White simplifies the issue in chap. 1 by classifying KJV Only advocates: those who simply prefer the KJV as their translation, those who believe that the original language texts used by the KJV translators were the most accurate, those who insist that the Textus Receptus has been supernaturally preserved or inspired, those who believe the KJV itself, as an English translation, is inspired, and those who believe that the KJV is new, inerrant revelation. It is crucial to know where someone falls on this spectrum before pursuing further discussion with that person.
In chap. 2, White humorously shows how the arguments used against modern translations by KJV Only proponents are the same as the ones used against Jerome because of his Latin Vulgate translation and Erasmus because of his Greek NT, the one that became essentially the Textus Receptus. His argument shows how the real issue is man's resistance to changing his tradition rather than the accuracy of a Bible translation.
Chapter 3 takes a scholar's knowledge of ancient manuscripts, text-types, and textual variants, condenses it, and leads the reader by the hand through a very understandable discussion of crucial issues. He answers such questions as: "What were the original languages of the Scriptures?", "What are the disputed textual issues?", "What are the differences in the translations?", "What is textual criticism?", "How did we get our Bible?", "Why do some manuscripts differ from others?", and "How do we tell which text is the best?" After building this foundation, chap. 4 uses this information to show that the KJV is simply a translation into English, and thus not infallible or inerrant in itself. KJV Only defenders usually oppose the use of textual criticism, yet the genesis and development of the Textus Receptus came about as Erasmus used a form of textual criticism to arrive at his Greek text. They also oppose marginal notations, yet the translators of the KJV attested to their uncertainties through substantial textual notes and alternate readings that most editions of the 1611 KJV do not retain. Most striking are White's discussion of the rules that governed the translation of the KJV and quotes from the translators themselves which put them directly at odds with present-day KJV Only advocates.
In order for the reader to understand the controversy more fully, White exposes him to the leading adherents of the KJV Only position in chap. 5, thus setting the stage for a comparison of the KJV with modern translations. Then chaps. 6 and 7 can present translational and textual differences between the basic texts behind the two types of renderings and prove that no one has changed, deleted from, added to, or altered the Word of God. No grand conspiracies involving an "Alexandrian cult" exist. Instead, modern translators have gone to great lengths to preserve and pass on God's Word accurately for future generations. The two chapters deal convincingly with many of the disputed passages.
Rounding out his argument, White uses chapter eight to dispel those worst-of-all attacks, that modern translations diminish the deity of Christ. He shows that an examination of the facts reveal that modern versions often translate valuable passages proclaiming the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ more clearly than the KJV. Having no desire to bash the KJV, however, White cautiously ends his discussion in chap. 9 by pointing out indisputable errors in the KJV, a point that is an insurmountable obstacle for the KJV Only camp.
All that is left is to answer a few questions and provide an appendix for those who desire to probe more deeply into the issue. White does both well.
One of the greatest strengths of the book is White's clear history and presentation of textual criticism and related issues. His resource of more than a hundred key texts connected with the debate—many with a thorough discussion—is indispensable. At least equal to those, however, is White's gracious tone even toward those who have called him a heretic. Nevertheless, most satisfying to this reviewer was White's apt exposé and correction of Gail Riplinger's New Age Bible Versions.
As valuable as The King James Only Controversy is, some cautions are needed. One may get the impression that all modern translations are equal in their representation of original manuscripts. Since White is primarily interested in defending the modern Greek manuscripts against the attacks of KJV Onlyism, he often places the NIV, NASB, NKJV, RSV, etc., on an equal footing, making no distinction between possible theological biases or methods of translation. He does discuss the difference between formal and dynamic equivalence in translation, but does not warn the reader of the dangers inherent in dynamic equivalence. Translators' hermeneutics very heavily influence renderings in that type of translation, making them more susceptible to error.
In short, though providing much vital information about the controversy, White never answers the question posed on the back cover, "Is your Bible translation reliable?" Perhaps a chapter discussing the various translations and what is important in a translation would have given a more complete answer.
The King James Only Controversy will long serve as a trusted companion for scholar, pastor, and layman alike. White has accomplished a work that is refreshingly easy to read, yet complete in its persuasive answers to KJV Only arguments. Christians owe this servant of God a great debt of gratitude.

5 Simple Tricks for a Better Relationship
Q. I want to keep my gown as an heirloom, but I am worried about traditional gown preservation practices. Is there a more environmentally friendly option?A. Traditional dry cleaning uses chemicals (including known carcinogens and ground water contaminants) to preserve garments. However, more and more dry cleaners are turning to environmentally friendly practices. Some have begun utilizing liquid carbon dioxide, which is nontoxic, odor-free, and does not create any harmful emissions. Others, notably the GreenEarth Cleaners chain, use nonhazardous liquid silicone to clean and preserve garments (to find one near you, visit GreenEarthCleaning.com). Independent organic dry cleaners are also becoming more and more common -- go online or check your Yellow Pages to try to find one near you.

Purchase your gown secondhand -- reducing fuels used in creating a new gown and lessening demand for overseas labor. One option is the Brides Against Breast Cancer campaign, run by MakingMemories.org, which hosts trunk shows across the country featuring donated gowns as well as new gowns and samples from designers and bridal salons. Proceeds fulfill wishes for terminal breast cancer patients.
If you aren't planning on saving your dress as an heirloom, donate it to charity after the wedding. You can either give your gown to an organization like Making Memories, or sell it (be it through a consignment shop or online) and give the profits to the charity of your choice.
There's also the option of having your gown custom made with natural fabric (most likely silk or a silk blend) that you've purchased yourself. If you don't have a seamstress near you (or the cash to afford a gown that's completely custom), Conscious Clothing, based in Santa Fe, NM, creates wedding gowns that range from traditional to trendy, and feature all-natural fabrics (visit GetConscious.com).
Ask them to donate their dresses to charities such as The Glass Slipper Project (GlassSlipperProject.org) or the Fairy Godmothers Inc. organization (FairyGodmothersInc.com), both of which work to put dresses in the hands of underprivileged teens who can't afford a prom dress. It's a much better fate for the dresses than sitting in the back of closets -- trust us.

Plenty of surprises on day one in Australia. Perhaps not the Ferrari one-two, but how about two Williams in the top eight, or Super Aguri out-pacing both Honda and Toyota? The drivers report back
Felipe Massa, Ferrari (1st, 1m 27.353s):
It was a good day. We did a good job of comparing the two types of dry weather tyre and this morning we also got the opportunity to run in the wet, which led us to see that the balance of the F2007 is pretty good. This was a positive start to the weekend, but of course what counts is tomorrows qualifying and most of all, Sundays race.
Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari (2nd, + 0.397s):
We worked mainly on comparing the two types of tyre that we have, but I was a bit unlucky with the traffic and the red flag, which affected our programme. In any case, the car seems to be well balanced at this track and we managed to pick up a good base line of data to analyse today for qualifying and for the race.
Lewis Hamilton, McLaren (3rd, + 0.476s):
"I was so excited when I drove out of the garage for the first time this morning - it was an incredible feeling as I have wanted to be a Formula 1 driver since I started karting and now I am and enjoying every single moment. The track is good particularly as I love street circuits and the whole atmosphere is amazing. Back at the McLaren Technology Centre we have done a lot of simulation work to prepare me for this weekend but it was good to actually drive it for real. The car feels good and the two sessions today were really useful."
Giancarlo Fisichella, Renault (4th, + 0.588s):
It was a bit of a mixed day for us - the performance of the car looked quite encouraging, especially on the longer runs, but our problems meant we didnt complete the programme. The set-up was not fantastic this morning, especially on the first lap, but we made good progress, and it was much more consistent during the afternoon session. The hard tyre is working well on our car, but we are suffering from some graining with the soft tyre at the moment, which is costing us performance. We still need to fine-tune the set-up, but the handling is OK, and now we need to try and match our long-run performance, on the first lap with new tyres.
Nick Heidfeld, BMW Sauber (5th, + 0.617s):
Im happy so far with the first day of the 2007 season. It looks like we have been able to confirm the positive impressions we had from our testing. In the morning the car was good in the rain, while in the afternoon session we almost completed our programme and the lap times were also okay. I lost some time in the garage due to an exhaust problem, but this wasnt too bad.
Alexander Wurz, Williams (6th, + 0.628s):
In the morning everyone had to deal with the wet and changing conditions, but the afternoon was a bit better. At the beginning of the session I was driving a little carefully, as I hadnt found a balance on the car, but towards the end with my long run it was improving a lot. We still have to optimise our package, so from a driving point of view, I will be able to attack more.
Fernando Alonso, McLaren (7th, + 0.687s):
"I'm really pleased to have started my first Grand Prix weekend with Vodafone McLaren Mercedes today. The weather conditions with the rain and the wind made things a bit tricky but we now have a good basis for the work ahead of us tomorrow. We almost completed the planned programme but the track conditions in the first session obviously had an impact. We are heading in the right direction which is positive and I'm looking forward to the next two days."
Nico Rosberg, Williams (8th, + 0.702s):
It was a pretty interesting session this afternoon. We really progressed very well after a slow start, but took our time and made good improvements, which is great. We eventually found some good set-up direction despite making some quite big changes. Like everybody else, we were trying tyres and with all the weather changes, the situation was not entirely clear and making our tyre choices will not be the easiest decision.
Robert Kubica, BMW Sauber (9th, + 0.928s):
I didnt run this morning, which was not a problem as it was wet, but the car was quite good at the beginning of the afternoon session. It is looking quite okay even though we have a few issues to resolve. We now have to analyse everything, improve the set up and I am sure we will be okay. I think we have a good chance for points here and so it will be a good start to the season.
David Coulthard, Red Bull (10th, + 1.142s):
Difficult track conditions today, but nonetheless we worked through our programme to evaluate the tyres and chassis balance. Changing between cars is not such a good thing to be honest (Coulthard used the T car for session one and his race car for session two), as no two cars are ever the same - but it helps to spread out the mileage.
Anthony Davidson, Super Aguri (11th, + 1.374s):
It was a good day and the car was reliable again. We experienced difficult weather conditions, especially in the morning, and it was decided that I would not run the grooved tyres like most other people did. The second session was a bit more difficult for me because of this, but it was a good day nonetheless and I am looking forward to tomorrow.
Jarno Trulli, Toyota (12th, + 1.568s):
Its good to be back racing again with a new year and a new challenge. There was not much grip out there in the morning but the afternoon session was trouble-free. So that was a positive day and Im looking forward to tomorrow. We have had a hard winter of testing but as the weekend progresses we will build up a clearer picture of where we stand. The new rules for Friday practice are much better for the drivers and for the teams but especially for the spectators who can finally see the cars running, which is what matters most.
Takuma Sato, Super Aguri (13th, + 1.656s):
I think it was a good start for us. We didn't have any issues with the car and everything went well straight away. We had to compromise a bit in the first session due to the mixed weather conditions, but it was good to experience both tyre options. I had a good first running in the SA07 and although I think that we have a lot to do before tomorrow, I am positive and hopefully we'll see more progress tomorrow.
Jenson Button, Honda (14th, + 1.713s):
"We had a straightforward day working through our planned programme and of course the changeable conditions gave me the chance to run the Bridgestone
Potenza wet tyres. It is good to be back racing again, however we are struggling to find a balance and our position today is a clear indication that there is a lot of work to be done to close the gap to where we want to be."
Rubens Barrichello, Honda (15th, + 2.189s):
"I had quite a good day and was getting into the groove and improving the car, apart from the small 'off' this afternoon, which put me out of the rest of the session. I just touched the grass, which was still wet from this morning, and that was it. I was generally happy with my times at that point as we were in the top ten, but overall we are aiming to do much better. We have a lot of work to do tonight to get to where we want to be in qualifying."
Ralf Schumacher, Toyota (16th, + 2.221s):
Its always difficult to say where you stand on Friday but that was a decent afternoon of work. Other than the break for the red flag we didnt have any problems and we worked through our programme. The conditions were variable but that was not such a problem as a little drizzle doesnt affect the performance. The weather should now get better through the weekend but it will stay on our mind because we all know it can completely change within an hour in Melbourne. Weve had a mixed winter of testing so this weekend will be useful to find out exactly where we have to target our work.
Mark Webber, Red Bull (17th, + 2.448s):
The first session was dominated by the weather and everyone was getting used to the track as it dried out. We ran on intermediates and then changed to dry tyres towards the end of the practice. The first session enabled us to begin to get an idea of the cars balance before the race on Sunday, but I had a transmission problem in the second session and had to stop early.
Heikki Kovalainen, Renault (18th, + 2.744s):
It wasnt a perfect first day for me, but we got something done even so. It was only a minor problem that stopped the car, and that meant I lost the whole of the dry, second session - and I didnt manage to run the soft tyre at any point. When I was out on track, though, the car balance felt good and I feel I have learned the track without too many problems. It is a good, challenging layout - and it makes a nice change from driving round Jerez and Barcelona like I did most of last year! Of course, it will be important for me to make good use of tomorrow mornings session to catch up the lost time from today, but I think our pace looks pretty strong - and I am confident we will be in good shape.
Scott Speed, Toro Rosso (19th, + 3.030s):
As expected we are quite far behind at the moment as we learn about a lot of things that we should have done in testing. Lots of stuff on the car is brand new for today and so inevitably some of it didnt work. The one positive element is that it is clear that we will be able to develop this package through the season and can do something with it. Its going to be a tough time until we get some more testing under our belt, as we seem to be quite a way off the pace, unless some of those ahead of us were on low fuel loads.
Sebastian Vettel, test driver, BMW Sauber (20th, + 3.504s):
At the beginning of the session the conditions were extremely difficult. The entire track was very wet when I left the garage in the morning and, as Albert Park is not a permanent race track, it has a lot of white lines which are extremely slippery in the wet. The track dried out surprisingly quickly, but due to the changing conditions we could not collect as much information as we would have liked. But at least we showed we were pretty quick under wet conditions.
Adrian Sutil, Spyker (21st, + 3.755s):
Today was challenging as weve never run the car on a street track before and we struggled a little for grip and to get the tyres up to speed in the cool temperatures, but we know what we have to do. The circuit is not that difficult to get to know, but there are some tricky parts and there isnt much grip in places. As we saw when some of the top drivers went off, its easy to lock up and run wide, but I like the track a lot. I hope I will be even better in Qualifying than today.
Christijan Albers, Spyker (22nd, + 3.822s):
Even though today was a reasonably difficult day with the wet track and cold temperatures, I think it was quite productive. Everybody is ready for the fight; we know its not going to be easy but well be there tomorrow, trying our best to get the most out of the car and trying to understand the tyres as much as we can.
Kazuki Nakajima, test driver, Williams (23rd, + 4.048s):
At the start the track was really wet, so it was a little bit difficult out there for me. We started with the extreme wet tyre for the first 15 laps or so, but I didnt really get the opportunity to set a good lap time. Generally the car was pretty good whether it was wet or dry. Finally in the dry conditions late in the session everything was right to set a good lap time and in fact, I had some traffic in the last lap, so I might have been able to go even quicker. I didnt start out today expecting too much in my first official practice, but I was pleased with how it went.
Vitantonio Liuzzi, Toro Rosso (24th, + 4.340s):
Quite a negative beginning. We had a few problems with the car, as it was very unstable at the rear. We did not really reach an understanding of what was causing it. Then I had a spin and damaged the rear wing and underside of the car, so I had to stop before the end of the session. That was a shame, because at the moment we really need to do as many kilometres as possible. Hopefully we can do more laps tomorrow.

So what's next for Jacki-O? It looks as if she is signing with TVT Records, label to Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boyz, Ying Yang Twins, and Pitbull. Partnering with TVT is a coup for Poe Boy since the record label, thanks in part to the workaholic Lil' Jon, is credited with popularizing the ever-popular crunk sound. The hot independent company also has a reputation for diligently promoting its albums (Ying Yang Twins' Me & My Brother) and steadily building a national audience, instead of chasing after opening-week sales as do other rap imprints.
Since releasing her debut single, "Nookie," early last May, Jacki-O and Poe Boy have gained a reputation among record executives, journalists, and radio programmers as up-and-coming Southern rap stars. But they haven't been able to come up with a strong followup for her. The second single, "Sugar Walls," was a frothy punany joint that went nowhere. "Slow Down" was a considerable improvement; more important, it revealed that Jacki-O was a talented MC, spitting rhymes such as, "Jacki-O, a gift not a curse/Think I'm a itch now/Well, the rash gets worse." But it only replicated the modest success of "Nookie," reaching number 65 on Billboard magazine's R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart. Then last November, Seagram (former owner of Universal Music) bought Warner Music Group. In March of this year, Warner laid off 1000 employees.
Bumbery referred me to a representative at Warner's corporate office, who wasn't able to comment on Poe Boy by press time. But it wouldn't be a stretch to surmise that the layoffs, coupled with the absence of a truly popular Jacki-O hit, contributed to an untenable situation. In addition, several anonymous sources say that Poe Boy split from its financial backer, Sobe Entertainment, before losing the distribution deal.
However, promo copies of Poe Little Rich Girl were mailed to the press, and numerous magazines gave it respectable reviews. In the April 1 issue of Rolling Stone, Jon Caramanica awarded it three and a half out of five stars, and praised Jacki-O's "cocksure flow over sterling beats from Jazze Pha, Timbaland, and others."
Of course, Poe Boy didn't bother to send me one. I've been on the label's shit list ever since my profile of the company, which discussed a still-pending copyright lawsuit against Jacki-O's "Nookie" track, ran earlier this year ("Anatomy of A Hit," January 1). A month later, label owner Elric "E-Class" Prince, COO Elvin "Big Chuck" Prince, and publicist/producer Alex "Poochie" Bethune gave an interview to 305hiphop.com titled "Anatomy of A Hit 2: What Really Went Down." During the ten-minute talk, which site visitors can download as an MP3, the three executives griped about my article, musician Charles Trahan (who brought the lawsuit), and yours truly, claiming, "Mosi Reeves is a fraud!"
After imprinting the phrase "Mosi Reeves is a fraud" on a T-shirt and proudly wearing it around town for a few weeks, I managed to procure a copy of Poe Little Rich Girl. (No, I didn't download it from the Internet.) In keeping with Jacki-O's scantily clad, titty-baring image, many of its songs are sex-obsessed, from the ribald ("Somebody's Getting Fucked") to the scatological ("Sugar Walls"). Others draw the listener in on their own merits, such as the vividly autobiographical "Ghetto World" and her smart description of Liberty City: "We're Flintstone kids/We're surrounded by bricks and rocks." Peppered throughout are random lyrics ridiculing Trina, sustaining an ongoing rivalry between the two Miami divas. On the skit "Shut the Fuck Up," she laughs, "Tina? Who's Tina?"
Poe Little Rich Girl is a solid album from start to finish. The worst one could say is that, save for "Nookie," none of its songs particularly stand out. It's a modest pleasure, which would be cause for joy in the rock and roll world. But in the highly competitive rap world, where a great single or two can be the difference between a platinum plaque and 10,000 units sold (or, in hip-hop parlance, "going wood"), it's not enough.
The Warner version of Poe Little Rich Girl probably won't be released. Poe Boy will likely tweak the disc's contents, jettisoning the album's weaker cuts and maybe adding a hot collaboration with the ubiquitous Lil' Jon or some other name rapper, before its scheduled TVT release date in July. But for now, despite recent setbacks, Jacki-O still has the interest of a fickle and impatient hip-hop industry, which is all that matters.

The towering civil courthouse in downtown Miami buzzes daily with human drama. People lose custody of their children, change names, get rich, and get hosed, married, and divorced. Inside the hive of litigation, a tiny sanctuary affords the powerful and desperate alike a quiet place to build their case. Amid the wooden nooks and stacks of numbered spines, locals can enjoy a cheap date with lady justice.
But all of that might change thanks to ham-fisted county budget cuts that took effect October 1.
"In a few months it will be easier to do research in jail," Troy Nader Moslemi says as he presses a book of New York case law onto the glass of a flashing photocopier. Moslemi's khaki dress shirt hangs like a flag from his narrow frame. Pale and thin, he seems to blend organically with the tan vinyl books along the wall — like tiger stripes in tall grass.
Moslemi, an attorney, says the library has helped him save at least four immigrants from deportation. Today he's trying to come up with a defense to prevent the Department of Homeland Security from deporting a Jamaican lesbian. State officials are trying to revoke asylum granted to her in 1996 by arguing she lied to them. They found out she has a son and therefore must have lied about her sexuality. Moslemi says he has already pulled two cases off the library shelves that prove their argument is bunk. He does all of his research in the Miami-Dade County Law Library. And he always has. He spent 10 years teaching paralegal research at Miami Dade College and urged all of his students to avoid pricey computer services. His love for books — the law printed and bound — proved useful when he became an immigration attorney operating on a shoestring budget. Moslemi says he travels on bargain-fare airlines to visit clients in jail and is lucky to get a thousand bucks for working a case.
"Half my clients are Chinese guys who get busted here with nothing," he says, adjusting his glasses. "I could look up my materials on some online database, for three dollars a minute, but how could any of them afford it?"
Not far from him, Carlos Aguilar sits with meaty arms folded on a long wooden table. He wears a black Hawaiian shirt. Slick sunglasses sit at his side.
"[The library] is such a value," he grumbles, making his case in a thick Brooklyn accent. The lawyer spent the past two years at a Coral Gables firm, Pollack & Rosen. "But I always wanted my own shop," he says. So a couple of weeks ago, he set out as a solo practitioner; he has relied on the library ever since. For small firms and solo practitioners, which Aguilar calls "the little guy," there's really no other option.
Right now he's working on helping a poor family straighten out its financial affairs. Their father died and left no will. "If I had to go out and bill them for a lot of research," says Aguilar, "it'd kill them."
The 70-year-old downtown law library offers the last vestige of public legal information in a once great system. Eight years ago there were five law libraries in the county operating on a nearly two-million-dollar budget. The money came mostly from fees that civil litigants paid to the county every time they filed a lawsuit.
The libraries contained up-to-date case law from every state in the Union, periodicals, and cheap access to online databases like Lexis and Westlaw. A trilingual staff offered help and guidance to anyone who walked through the door.
By 2001 the Miami Beach, North Dade, and South Dade branches had closed. Rents had soared and so had the prices of many legal publications. A couple of years later, a pair of librarians at the criminal courthouse were let go. Criminal materials were pared down and shipped to the last remaining public law library downtown.
In 2005 the state legislature stopped charging special filing fees for the library. The library's $1.7 million budget was cut in half. Seven of the 14 library staffers were laid off. Since then they've scraped by, surviving on a portion of criminal and traffic fees and money provided by Miami-Dade County.
Until recently.
On September 17, the county commission's Health and Public Safety Committee considered pulling even more funding for the law library. The president of the library's board of trustees, Judge Gill Freeman, made a final plea for the public money, arguing that about a third of the library's patronage comes from citizens who have nowhere else to turn. Freeman stressed that Miami Dade College students study legal research at the facility. And public classes are offered on the same subject. "We are begging you, in effect, to continue funding us so we don't have to close our doors after 70 years," she said as the committee members shook their heads.
"I know my constituents down in District 9 aren't familiar with it," replied Commissioner Dennis Moss. "They don't know it exists." Moss suggested that paying for the law library should be left to the lawyers. "Attorneys around town contribute to a lot of things in this town, including campaigns and everything else," he said. "It seems to me ... that there would be an ability to raise, let's say, another $250,000."

Short-Sleeve Microfiber Shirt
Too heavy and not wash and wear
I see several other reviews asking that you bring back the old fabric and styling for the miicrofiber shirts. I agree. Although I like the new styling except for for pockets (they add too much weight), the shirt is overall too heavy for travel. And the new fabric cannot be washed without ironing. Not a very good travel shirt. In addition the white was see through. I had to return it.
February 6, 2015
Wrong shirt for me
I like the fabric, but not the white color. The pocket lining shows through the shirt. I do like the zipper pockets, and in a darker color, that would not be a problem. I also find that I do not like the cuffs on the sleeves, and would prefer a plain sleeve that would look dressier.
February 3, 2015
Beautiful Substantial Shirt/Jacket
The color of the tangerine shirt is so vibrant. The fit runs big (i'm 5'4, 155 lbs.); I usually wear size 14 so I ordered a L. I like this item, but will probably wear it as a jacket because the fabric is heavier than I expected. In the heat of the summer, this "blouse" would be too warm, but perfect for a visit to an air conditioned place. I bought this blouse on sale (good value) with the idea of taking it on an upcoming Panama Canal cruise. I
January 26, 2015
The shirt is lovely and the Petite Large fits very well. The color is a little more orange than Cherry but I'm keeping it anyway!
January 15, 2015
Good quality
This is a heavy weight microfiber that runs large with a boxy fit.i ordered large petite & medium. I am keeping the medium & could probably wear a medium petite.
January 14, 2015
Love this shirt!
I bought two of these: jade green and red. They're great colors. The fit is perfect, and the microfiber fabric is easy care with minimal wrinkles. I didn't expect the hidden side pockets! The shirts can be dressed up or down. I'll likely buy other colors.
August 28, 2014
Too heavy
I liked the style, fit, and color, but the fabric was too heavy. Both the measurable weight and the hand. I would think the shirt would be hot. I will return it.
August 25, 2014
Lovely colors
Easy wear blouse but I wanted something for summer. I would class, and will be saving for Winter wear. The material is quite heavy. Love the colors, style wish it was a bit lighter weight but will live with it in the Winter.
Have not washed but assume the material will go thru washer and drying OK.

A few months ago Martha made a trip to Colombia, where she was introduced to Silvia Tcherassi, a wonderful fashion and accessory designer. Martha returned with a wrist covered in shimmering bracelets and a beautiful sparkling bag. The invite to have her as a guest on the show went out immediately. Last week she finally paid us a visit and shared some of her designs and techniques for creating her fabulous crystal rhinestone encrusted creations. The segment will be airing this Friday (5/6) on The Martha Stewart Show.
Silvia explains what she uses for her bags:
The name in Spanish for this style of bags is "mochila." My mochilas and the bracelets are hand woven by the indigenous Wayuu women in La Guajira Colombia. La Guajira is located in the north of Colombia. It takes around 20 days for a woman to complete a mochila, then at my atelier in Colombia my team transforms this beautiful handcraft into a masterpiece item using Swarovski Elements and other embellishments. These are woven with my personal color palette and my personal sizes. I work with different colors according to the season. Working with these women is important to me because it's a way to support the Wayuu community and to keep their traditions alive.
Silvia uses Swarovski Hotfix crystals (they come with glue already on them) and a Hotfix tool to apply the crystals to her bags and bracelets. The crystals come in a wide range of colors, which allows Silvia's unique eye and color pallet the opportunity to shine through. It's a time consuming process, but the results she has created are worth it.
If the idea of doing an entire bag seems a little overwhelming, her bracelets, smaller but just as sparkely, are an approachable project to get familiar with using Swarovski Hotfix. Make a few and wear them in groups, you'll certainly catch people's eye.
Stay up to date with Silvia and her new designs over here.


text: @Alchemy- I personally prefer acupuncture for neck and shoulder muscle pain. Acupuncture promotes good blood circulation to the affected area. This delivers nutrient rich blood to the affected area, helping to speed the healing and strengthening process. In fact, acupuncture after any type of physical training increases recovery times and improves muscle growth. Some of the best athletes swear by acupuncture, and it works great for me.

After the drama and the jubilation of Brazil, new world champion Lewis Hamilton finally got to thank those who had made it all possible on Wednesday, as he arrived home to McLarens UK headquarters in Woking.
After a rapturous reception from the teams entire workforce, Hamilton paid tribute to their efforts throughout the 2008 season, expressing his gratitude for all their work behind the scenes that allowed him to become the youngest man ever to take the drivers title.
Hamiltons welcome started as he came through the gates of the McLaren Technology Centre (MTC), its 10 metre-long neon entry sign transformed from its normal white to McLarens trademark victory rocket red, with a special message congratulating the British driver on his success.
From there the celebrations continued, as Hamilton treated his hundreds of co-workers - all in their victory red t-shirts - to an ear-splitting display behind the wheel of his Formula One machine, with the road around the MTCs vast lake serving as a impromptu circuit.
Once out of the car, Hamilton shook endless hands and kissed numerous cheeks before taking centre stage, flanked by the numerous trophies he has already accumulated during his brief F1 career. Clearly overwhelmed, he admitted he was in awe of the occasion - and the teams achievement.
I am shaking like a leaf here, he confessed. Its pretty awesome to be standing here. It really hasnt hit home yet. I am here today to say a big thank you to all of you, including those who work here on the night shifts and the weekends when I dont see you.
Weve proved to everyone that we are the best team and that we have the best car. These trophies are the result of all your hard work and you should all pat yourselves on the back - I love this team!
Though he is not expected to test again this year, Hamilton will no doubt have a packed schedule over the coming months, with numerous media appearances and sponsor commitments. He will begin his title defence in Melbourne, Australia, on March 29, 2009.

BMW F1.07 - additional rear winglet 06 October 2007
In China BMW have added a small winglet suspended under the main curved flip-ups in front of the rear wheels, following the fashion introduced by Ferrari few races ago. These elements help in terms of reducing turbulence around the inner edge of the wheels and the rear bodywork close to them. This in turn noticeably aids the efficiency of the side sections of the rear diffuser, their air extraction being increased as a result.

Hello, I'm Joseph.
I live a quiet and private life out in the country. I wanted to thank you for buying, or considering buying any of my work.
My hope is to build a family of friends. In going through this tough life, my hope is that you may find a few hours a day, to escape into my story.
These characters have become so real to me, I take considerable time in thought, before any words are written. I may see something as we shop, that triggers a scene, or maybe a call I get may give me insight to something I'm struggling with, so I take real life situations in all my writings.
In completing book 3, I have tried something I've never seen tried before. I have created a new Series, 'New Beginnings', branching from this series, these books will be found under Romance, for those that Erotica just isn't their style.
'Starting Over'{romance} Tommy's new walk with Julia, and 'The Pink Tablet'{sexual content} Samantha's return to New York, as Peter is arrested, and sent to prison, both begin where book 3 leaves off. I believe you will enjoy keeping up with both Children, in the two different series.
I now have a new series, Behind Closed Shades. This series I believe is my best work to date. Books I and II are a must read for the romantic, with a twist of lesbian content.
I welcome any comments and suggestions. My E-Mail Address is:
Thank you, Joseph. 1-14-2013

Weebl's Stuff
Warning: This page contains material that may be considered not safe for work.
This submission is currently being researched & evaluated!
You can help confirm this entry by contributing facts, media, and other evidence of notability and mutation.
Weebl's Stuff is Weebl's personal website. Whilst initially starting with his own creations (Weebl and Bob was previously hosted on a different site before moving to Weebl's Stuff), it has since grown to incorporate numerous series and numerous staff. As well as providing the site with animations, usually at least twice a week, Weebl's Stuff also provides animation services to companies.
The first Weebl animation was "Weebl and Bob", which premiered on June 6, 2002. It is a one-and-a-half minute animation consisting of the eponymous characters talking to each other (using thought balloons). Weebl and Bob are best friends, but also have a tendency to harass and insult one another. The characters are egg-shaped, and split their heads in half when talking (much like the Canadian characters in South Park); their speech is also barely intelligible (and thus subtitles are used).[1] Due to its odd and quirky nature, the animation steadily grew a huge internet following, prompting Picking to make others.[2]
Many of the episodes of "Weebl and Bob" center around the characters' desire for pie, and their quest to find it. Thus, among the phrases from the series to eventually go viral were "you bringed [sic] back pie!" or just simply "Pie!" To date, this series alone has gained such fandom that many of its followers have created fan art, t-shirts, and cosplay characters to pay homage to Picking's quirky brainchild.
"Badgers," a.k.a. Badger Badger Badger is a Flash animation created by Weebl in September 2003 consisting of twelve badgers in a field doing calisthenics, occasionally breaking off to say either "Mushroom, mushroom!" (accompanied by a large red mushroom growing next to a tree) or "A snake! A snake! Oh, it's a snake!" (accompanied by a snake crawling through a desert). The original animation loops indefinitely, and eventually goes out of sync with the music.
The Badgers cartoon eventually gained the attention of MTV Europe, for whom Picking produced a TV version of "Weebl and Bob" entitled The Everyday Happenings of Weebl (and Sometimes Weebl's Friend Bob) a.k.a. Weebl and Bob.[3]
Following its release (and subsequent viral popularity), Picking made a number of sequels to "Badgers" and spinoffs using the same style. "Badgers 2", also made in 2003, features zombie badgers on a black background, with blood dripping from their mouths and eyes. Parodies and mash-ups have also been made, such as "Badgers On A Plane", using footage from a Snakes On a Plane trailer, and "Big Ass Badgers", released in 2007 as a spoof of the Transformers film.
Kenya is a Flash animation created by Weebl in 2004, showing cartoon lions and tigers dancing against a plains background to such lyrics as, "Where can ya see lions? Only in Kenya."
Breadfish is a looped animation featuring several tiled loaves of bread with green fish protruding through the middle, accompanied by the song "Have You Seen the Marvelous Breadfish?"
Amazing Horse
Amazing Horse (also known as "Get on My Horse") is a viral flash animation of a gentleman on a horse and a woman singing and dancing to a catch tune with funny lyrics. Since being uploaded on Weebls-Stuff.com in September 2009, this video has inspired others to create their own covers and remix videos on YouTube.
Weebl and Bob
Weebl and Bob is a Flash cartoon series created by Jonti Picking and co-scripted by Chris Vick. The first episode, "Pie", was uploaded by Picking on June 6, 2002. It is also the most watched episode on Weebl's site, with 2,612,660 views as of April 30, 2007
Search Interest
As shown, search interest peaked during mid-2005, but has slowly decreased over time.

With the "History of the Eagles" documentary coming out today (April 30) on DVD and Blu-ray, the group has announced a fall leg of its History of the Eagles Tour.
The group will play eight shows during September on top of the 12 previously announced for July, starting September 6 in Vancouver and wrapping up September 21 in Auburn Hills, Mich.
Tickets for the new shows go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday (May 6) with an American Express pre-sale running May 1-3. The shows are expected to be presented chronologically, with original Eagle Bernie Leadon returning for early portions of the concerts.
Meanwhile, fans can brush up on their Eagles knowledge with the "History of the Eagles" home video, which features both parts of the documentary that aired on Showtime earlier this year as well as the previously unreleased "Eagles Live at the Capital Center -- March 1977" from the tour supporting "Hotel California."
Guitarist Joe Walsh tells us that the documentary was as illuminating for the band members as it was for the fans:
"We put all that old footage, both concert footage and interviews, on the shelf for a while, for like 40 years, and we archived everything. So none of us ever really saw it, any of it, until we started putting together the documentary. Also in the documentary, everybody got a chance to say their side of the experience, and it was fun to see everybody's experience of the history of the band. If you listen to all four of us, you pretty much get what happened. It's kind of told from four different perspectives, and it all worked. I'm at peace with it. But hearing everybody's side of it didn't really come out until the documentary was assembled, so that was a hoot."
The History of the Eagles Tour gets under way July 6 in Louisville.

Dr. David Cushman, professor and chair of Westminster College's Department of Economics and Business, is co-author of "Exchange Rate Regimes and FDI Flows to Developing Countries" recently published in the Review of International Economics.
Co-written with Andrew Abbott of the University of Hull (England) and Glauco De Vita of Oxford Brookes University (England), the paper presents evidence that developing countries that adopt a fixed exchange rate attract more investment from other countries than do developing countries with a flexible exchange rate. Consequently, they may grow faster. The work was the result of Cushman's non-resident visiting position at Oxford Brookes University.
Cushman, who holds the Captain William McKee Chair of Economics and Business, has been with Westminster since 2005. He earned an undergraduate degree from Stetson University and master's degree and Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University.
