Grieffon wrote:These two episodes may have a negative impact on how people view Korra. It's not good if the potentially most memorable episode in a season barely has the main character in it. Also, it's hard to create a battle more epic than that. There's one way I can think of, and it can tie with Unalaq's plan.
Unalaq want to free the dark spirit Vaatu, and make himself a "dark Avatar", the same as what Vaara and Wan did. The final battle will be between two avatars.
Grieffon wrote:Also, the last episode put many holes in the origin of bending previously established by TLA.
In TLA, humans learned bending from the moon, sky bisons, dragons, and badgermoles. However, it was shown the bending was given to them by lion turtles. Wan did learn proper firebending from studying the motion of dragons, but I don't see how that is applied to sky bisons. Also, how did those animal get the ability to bend, did the lion turtle just choose random species to give elemental powers to, and decide to give to every member of those species?
Dibullba wrote:With what you said Mon, it did make me think of something that could actually be an incredibly big plot hole. So we know that the avatar state is brought on by Raava. In TLA, Aang is told that when in the avatar state, he is at his most vulnerable. In Korra with these two origin episodes, It is revealed that Raava and Vaatu are a single being that can never really die in order to maintain balance of the world. So this actually bothers me as the avatar can seize to exist and yet they can maintain the capability to bend all four elements when supposedly Raava would be dead even though she can't die.
Aside from that, I can actually answer your question Mon. In TLA with the episode "The Guru", Aang has to unlock seven chakras to have complete control over the avatar state. These chakras are: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Sound, Light, and Thought. Two potential chakras that could be added, though never stated, would be Dark (or Chaos) and Spirit. So that comes much closer to the dozen.

Wrestling: New Trier cruises to regional championship
Updated: February 4, 2012 8:30PM
MJ Pritchard knew that if New Trier was to continue its success, it couldn't look past anyone and needed take Saturday's Glenbrook South Regional match-by-match.
The Trevians did just that, as they fought their way to an easy regional title, their fourth in five years.
New Trier finished with 207.5 points, 53 points ahead of runner-up Prospect. Wheeling finished third with 125 points.
""It's important to get a good result here, because it's what determines your seed for sectionals,'' said Pritchard, who earned an 11-2 major decision over Glenbrook South's Jimmy Binder for the 113 pound title. "My goal was to get to 30 wins and that happened with the championship win, so I'm pretty excited about that. It gives me more confidence as I move on, too.''
"It's nice to come back and win it (the regional) this year," said Pritchard. "Not making it to sectionals hurt but we knew what we had to do to make it back and we did what we needed to do.''
The day's biggest surprise were Glenbrook North's Cort Ro, who came in with a 7-20 record but ended up winning the 126-pound title.
New Trier tied Hersey with three winners on the day. Colin Kenyon pinned Sam Lobono of Prospect in 1:27 to win the 106-pound title. Jack Connor, who earned a 15-10 decision over Leo Giordano of Wheeling, had the Trevians' other first-place finish.
Other winners were Stephfon Scales (120), Conrad Bugay (132) and Hunter Rollins (160) of Hersey, Loyola's Patrick Dancer (138) and Michael Paloian (182), Michael Maksimovic (145) of glenbrook North, Eddie Scanlon (170) and Igor Romanowski (285) of Wheeling and Prospect's Jon Bilancia (195) and Max Triveline (220).

WACO -- You may never notice it but while you're moving along in your vehicle so is the ground beneath you, creating all sorts of problems during your daily commute.
"What we get with the heat, as far as the heat affecting the roads, the soil shrinks, when it shrinks whatever's on top of it you know responds accordingly. And in the case of asphalt, it will just drop, in which case we get a bump, a hump for example around a culvert or at a bridge end," said Ken Roberts, TxDOT information officer.
Roberts says they always plan ahead but in an extreme drought there will always be more problems.
"Texas is hot, always hot. So we plan on this type of thing, but when you get extended periods, as we've been going through here recently, you have a few more things show up than we might have planned for," said Roberts.
Those extended periods are also extending hours for those who work on these roads and while repairing the damages, there are other factors that can make a job even longer.
One of the issues these workers face beside repairing the road, is traffic, which prolongs the repairing process.
Every person that drives through a work zone could potentially cause more damage to the already fragile roads.
And Roberts said if everyone is just more aware of these conditions everything will run a lot smoother.
"People have to be aware of road conditions. So as you drive along and you're looking at the roadway, you might see bumps, you might see those kinds of things, you might recognize the fact that it's extremely hot outside and you might slow down a little. So reduce speed and just be aware of the situation around you as you, as you drive."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Eric Church expects to be angry when he walks out on the stage to perform during the Country Music Association Awards.
The rising country music star will cap a long journey as the top nominee Thursday night, but that doesn't change anything as far as he's concerned. He's always angry when he walks onstage.
"I have a huge chip on my shoulder," Church said. "I got that from how we got here, and I think it's a good thing. When I walk on the stage, I carry all the times that other artists got other things, we couldn't get a song played because of who we were versus the song's merits, or the times we had to play 12, 13 days and still were broke. All those things I carry on that stage. I think it makes me a better performer, and I think it makes it better for the crowd. I'm not going to lose that, regardless of the nominations."
In 18 months, Church's relationship with the Music City machine that runs popular country music has turned upside-down. Long an outsider, he's been shunned for his hard-edge sound, lack of hits and even his choice of eyewear. There was a tip of the hat to his growing popularity last year when Church got to play part of his song "Drink in My Hand" during the CMAs. "Drink" went on to become Church's first No. 1, and a year later, he's got a leading five nominations, including album and male vocalist of the year. He's also got a primo performance slot on a show that will likely draw 16 million viewers when it airs live at 8 p.m. on ABC.
Church acknowledges he did everything wrong on his journey to this point. That's what makes it all feel so right.
Almost every decision ran hard against conventional Music City wisdom, yet since the release of "Chief" in 2011, the 35-year-old has done no wrong. That album debuted atop the Billboard 200 all-genre album chart and went platinum, scoring heavy sales for his back catalog.
He launched his first headlining arena tour. And the rise of "Springsteen" to the top of the charts further proved Church has overcome radio's resistance, the largest hurdle to a widespread country audience.
Country star Jason Aldean, a friend of Church's, believes that unwillingness to compromise is as responsible for his growing audience as his hit songs.
"He's never tried to conform to what Nashville or radio or anybody else thought he should be, and I think early on in his career it cost him a little bit," Aldean said. "He wasn't getting that radio success. But I think when he started releasing songs like 'Homeboy' and 'Springsteen' and some of that stuff, they're just great songs and really different. I think those kind of things let people know that's who Eric Church is, and it really kind of set him apart from a lot of the other acts that are out there."
Church jokes about the decisions he's made and says a lot of it was simple survival. But the North Carolina singer-songwriter and his manager, John Peets, knew the key to success early on. It was just a matter of waiting for everyone else to come around to their point of view.
Peets said he heard it in early demos Church recorded while chasing a record deal.
"A light bulb went off," Peets said. "I'm from a dirt road in Ohio, and I was just like every guy that I grew up with would be, drinking beer to this. ... It just resonated very instantly with me." Church enjoys the focus the CMA's voters have put on him but plans no changes in his way of thinking.
"I feel like all we're doing is what we did back then; we're doing it on a bigger scale," Church said. "I think more people are paying attention. If you ask me about being kind of in the middle, I like the edges. So for me it's about staying out there on those edges. ... That's how we got here."

Jenny & Johnny Take Their Show to San Fran
Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice played the first of two gigs at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall Thursday night (their third show ever under the new Jenny & Johnny moniker) to a capacity crowd who already knew most of the words to songs that had been released just two days before.
Such are the loyal Jenny fans, who can recite Rilo Kiley lyrics and debate which songs on J&J's debut album, I'm Having Fun Now, are initially the best-and which stand out after repeated listens.
Without saying a word, Lewis, Rice, guitarist Tod Wisenbaker (of Whispertown2000), and drummer Jason Boesel (Rilo Kiley) launched into "Scissor Runner," the dreamy, peppy pop ditty that opens I'm Having Fun Now and announces that "a scissor runner stole my heart."
It made sense that Lewis, in particular, would want to open both the album and the show with such a breath of fresh air: After hearing Lewis channel her inner Linda Ronstadt on her recent solo releases, it seems like fans are once again getting a glimpse of the singer they fell in love with on Rilo Kiley's The Execution Of All Things. And in the process, it sounds like she's having more fun than she's had in years.
Sporting a sleeveless jean jacket that matched the playful retro-kids-in-love artwork that adorns I'm Having Fun Now, Lewis joined Rice in sticking to the business of playing the new songs. All but one, "While Men Are Dreaming," made it onto the setlist.
Still, they found the energy to banter a bit, with Lewis asking about neighboring strip clubs (the infamous O'Farrell Theatre is next door) before Rice introduced the folk-poppy "Just Like Zeus" as a "song about all the strip clubs in L.A. that Jenny drags me to."
Lewis and Rice shared vocals, sometimes harmonizing and other times going tag team. Lewis even took part in a brief drum jam session with Boesel at the end of the S&M groove thing "Slavedriver."
After getting everyone swooning with the My Morning Jacket-sitting-around-the-campfire-like "Switchblade," Jenny and Johnny made their only real missteps of the night by revisiting the Acid Tongue era, airing out all nine blues-rock minutes of "The Next Messiah" and acoustically covering "Love Hurts."
But all's well that ends well. Even though the band didn't do an encore, despite all of the hooting and hollering that continued after the house lights went up, they did close with "Big Wave," a bubbly pop tune about California going bankrupt. That kind of juxtaposition is right in Lewis' wheelhouse.
Setlist for Jenny and Johnny:
Scissor Runner
New Yorker Cartoon
My Pet Snakes
Just like Zeus
Straight Edge Of The Blade
The Next Messiah
Love Hurts
What Am I Going To Do?
Just One of the Guys
Big Wave

The phenotypic changes of increased motility and invasiveness of cancer cells are reminiscent of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that occurs during embryonic development. Snail, a zinc-finger transcription factor, triggers this process by repressing E-cadherin expression; however, the mechanisms that regulate Snail remain elusive. Here we find that Snail is highly unstable, with a short half-life about 25 min. We show that GSK-3beta binds to and phosphorylates Snail at two consensus motifs to dually regulate the function of this protein. Phosphorylation of the first motif regulates its beta-Trcp-mediated ubiquitination, whereas phosphorylation of the second motif controls its subcellular localization. A variant of Snail (Snail-6SA), which abolishes these phosphorylations, is much more stable and resides exclusively in the nucleus to induce EMT. Furthermore, inhibition of GSK-3beta results in the upregulation of Snail and downregulation of E-cadherin in vivo. Thus, Snail and GSK-3beta together function as a molecular switch for many signalling pathways that lead to EMT.

Month By Month For Sodje
Preston have confirmed that top corer Sodje has signed another one month extension to his contract.
The striker who might never have been signed at all if it wasn't for Lee Trundle's injury has been playing on a month by month basis for North End although if he leaves the club he will be unable to join a new club until January.
The deals have been put in place due to the fact that Sodje has a knee injury and with his age being the wrong side of 30 Preston did not want to offer a permanent contract.
Sodje has been offered another monthly deal by Preston as he looks to continue his good early season form.

I am thinking about a 7' mother ship. I don't think it will need two servos per aileron though. If the servo is near the center, there should be little twist. |

The LT-40 is making progress. The Evo 61 engine did not fit too well so I put a 46AX with a MACs muffler on it. A 12.25 x 3.75 prop should do it. I dook out all the Airtronics stuff and installed PowerHD 7150MG servos on the surfaces with a standard servo on the throttle. Took out the 8oz tank and put in a 12oz - no puny flights. If I do go with a bigger engine, the tank is already there. The nose wheel needed some attention. The screw on the steering arm was stripped. I was lucky and had one to replace it. There were two wood block on the bottom. It looks like maybe they had it on floats at one time. I removed them today but need to do a little covering to make it look better. I have maxed out the throw on all the surfaces, they can't go any more without ripping the hinges out. The engine has been stored for a while so I am not sure if it will start right up but I think it will.
I might be able to take it out for a spin tomorrow. |

Great piece!! A lot of parts to put together Tara from new york, NY– Verified Buyer Looks nicer than in the photo! |
Beautiful piece but... Mimi from New York, NY the drawers are difficult to assemble properly. I'm pretty handy, but the instructions left me guessing. The markings on the drawers were a little off (had to jam the screw to fit the indentation) and as an effect the drawers don't sit perfectly even. It's a minor imperfection though. |
sleek stand Shera from Scarsdale, NY– Verified Buyer this piece definitely takes 2 people to put together and is a bit time consuming, but totally worth it. It was a gorgeous, chic addition to our den and pulled the entire room together. We bought the white one and it was a great purchase! |
Ms. Terri from Fort Worth, TX– Verified Buyer This is just as beautiful as the pictures. I put it together easily with the complete and easy to follow instructions. |
As pictured Brandis from Ooltewah, TN– Verified Buyer The stand looks exactly as pictured. Can't expect too much on quality based on price. But for the price the stand is great. It serves it's purpose and looks good. Bad thing is the paint chips fairly easy. |
55.25" TV Stand Carnell from rochester, NY– Verified Buyer great price for the tv stand, would recommend. Only issue is i wish this was a 2 day delivery item so i could have got it faster |
Nice Elisa from South Boston, MA– Verified Buyer The quality and finishing are pretty nice. The drawers are smaller than I thought but they are okay. Easy to assemble. |
Good Claudia from Cape Coral, FL– Verified Buyer Very good quality, delivery just in time, easy to built |

When it comes to the scalability of web servers, first thing customers think about is scale out. While scale out is great option, there are many scenarios which can benefit from scale up. In Windows Server 2012, IIS team has done a good amount of work to scale up IIS server on latest industry standard hardware.
Nice post..but one thing I was curious about that IIS does not have logging mechanism ...though it's a huge server being run by various webservers...but only 3rd party tools are there for logging....I mean how come Microsoft can not support it and add such functionality inside it.

This essay examines the implications of the ubiquitous use of the term 'digital literacies' in higher education and its increasing alignment with institutional and organisational imperatives. It suggests that the term has been stripped of its provenance and association with disciplinary knowledge production and textual practice. Instead it is called into service rhetorically in order to promote competency based agendas both in and outside the academy. The piece also points to a tendency to position teachers in deficit with regard to their technological capabilities and pay scant attention to their own disciplinary and scholarly practices in a digital world. It concludes that there is a case for building on established theoretical and conceptual frameworks from literacy studies if we wish to integrate advantages of the digital landscape with thoughtful teaching practice.

Exclusion Schemes: reducing high street crime and anti-social behaviour. Leeds & North
Exclusion schemes – ranging from pub-watches to fully-fledged Business Crime Reduction Partnerships – are a tried and tested method of improving the safety and security of high streets and other commercial areas. In doing so they can create a commercial environment in which businesses can thrive and local communities can once more feel safe to enjoy their local retail and night-time economy.
Each conference, chaired by the editor of CRP News, follows the same theme with a combination of industry speakers, and with speakers with local and regional practical experience. The events aim to help delegates plan their new partnerships or make existing crime reduction partnerships more effective. Each conference also features a presentaton on different aspects of crime prevention in the future.
The cost of a delegate place at these one-day conferences, including Delegate Pack, and refreshments throughout the day, has been heavily subsidised and is just £45 per delegate for all bookings before October 15, after which the full rate of £55 applies.
For an insight to the successful South West conference held in July 2012, click here. For a look at the successful London & South East conference held in October 2012 at the London Hippodrome, click here.
Book your place now for the Leeds & North conference, which will take place at the Hilton Hotel in Leeds city centre - or for any enquires about future events or becoming a member of PAC please visit their website: www.PartnershipsAgainstCrime.com

With Election Day nearly upon us, eager voters will be getting an early (or late) start to the polling booth to cast their vote to determine the next president (and other important positions and laws).
A study published in the October 1 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that Election Day is a relatively dangerous day to drive. The study analyzed accidents during polling hours on Tuesdays between 1976 and 2004, and found that the risk of death on an election day was 18 percent higher than on the previous or following Tuesdays.
It's clear that there are different driving habits on the roads on these Tuesdays compared to others, and the time of year probably doesn't help. With more drivers out before and after traditional 9 to 5 work hours, this means there will be more cars on the road during the hours of darkness, with pedestrians making their way to and from the polling booths. It's a recipe for trouble-"but some extra care and attention could make a big difference.
A recent Journal of the American Medical Association study found that driving accidents on Election Day carry an 18 percent higher risk of fatalities than surrounding Tuesdays.
Plan your trip
Reduce the amount of driving you need to do, by knowing where your polling station is well in advance. You should have been sent notification through the mail of where your station is, and it should also be on your voter registration card. A list of stations may also be published in your local paper on Election Day, and there could be signage in your neighborhood pointing the way to the nearest station as well. Finally, many boards of elections allow you to find your polling place online or by phone.
Be patient
There are going to be a lot of other voters out on the road with you, and it could take some time to find a parking space. You may have to settle for parking further away from the polling station than you'd originally hoped. That's okay, even if the weather is bad. Find a spot, park, and vote. The longer you're in your car, the more time you have to be in an accident.
Wear your seat belt, keep your eyes open
Even if you're just driving around your neighborhood to find your polling station, wear your seat belt. A slow-speed crash could still cause injuries, and seat-belts are proven to reduce injuries. Remember that there will be more pedestrian traffic as well, with many people walking to the polling station rather than driving. In addition, parking lots at or near polling locations can be dangerous for drivers and pedestrians alike. With cars constantly coming and going and people walking in front of, between, and behind cars, accidents are more likely. People may have their minds on going in to vote, or be thinking of how they just voted. Driving and walking safely will keep everyone safe.

Shia LaBeouf has admitted to enjoying a brief fling with Megan Fox on the set of the
first 'Transformers' movie.
The actors, both 25, apparently hooked-up while filming the blockbuster action
movie together in 2006, although Shia claims he does not know whether his co-star
was with her then-fiancé Brian Austin Green at the time.
In an interview with Details magazine, the actor said: 'Look, you're on the set for
six months, with someone who's rooting to be attracted to you, and you're rooting
to be attracted to them. I never understood the separation of work and life in that
situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing, and I think you can
see the chemistry onscreen.'
Megan became engaged to Brian in 2006 and broke up in 2009, before they reunited
and married last year. When asked whether the couple were together at the time
of the Transformers fling. Shia told the magazine: 'I don't know, man. I don't know. I
don't know. I don't know. It was what it was.'
Following the brief liaison with Megan, Shia dated Carey Mulligan, another co-star.
Although the couple have since broken-up, the young star admits he still loves the
Oscar-nominated actress:
He said: 'I still love her. I think she's a f**king awesome person and an incredible
actress. We're still pals. I wouldn't take any of it back, and I don't think she would
either. It just ran its course.'
Unfortunately Shia gave a harsher view of Hilary Duff, branding his date with
her 'probably the worst date either of us have ever had' and also revealed
his 'philandering around' with former co-star Isabel Lucas was also a disaster.
He said: 'It was sort of disastrous. Neither one of us, I think, were in love. Just sort of
experimenting or whatever.'

I just want to thank you folks for fixing the tile in the basement. He did a very good job and am well pleased.

IRI: Eliminating Incentives and Increasing Taxes Would Cut Savings of Middle-Income Boomers
By Cathy Weatherford
Insured Retirement Institute (IRI)
Washington, D.C. – March 7, 2013 – The Insured Retirement Institute (IRI) today released a new research report that found middle-income Baby Boomers would be less likely to save for retirement if taxes are increased or if tax incentives for retirement savings are reduced or eliminated. The study also found that tax deferral is among the most important considerations when Baby Boomers, and particularly Boomers at middle-income levels, evaluate a retirement investment.
"Middle-income Boomers, who make up the majority of annuity owners, overwhelmingly show that they value and utilize tax-deferred retirement savings vehicles," IRI President and CEO Cathy Weatherford said. "Our consumer research found that tax policy changes would have negative consequences for retirement savings, with about a quarter of middle-income Boomers likely to curtail their retirement savings if tax deferral is reduced or eliminated. Policy coming out of Washington must seek to encourage retirement savings—not discourage it. As saving for retirement is becoming more and more challenging, now is the time to protect the incentives that are helping Americans attain financial security during their later years."
When it comes to tax policy changes, according to the January survey of Americans aged 50 to 66, 58 percent of middle-income Boomers are likely to cut back on retirement savings if income taxes are increased, 40 percent if Social Security payroll taxes are increased, and 29 percent if capital gains taxes are increased.
The IRI report found that 74 percent of all Boomers consider tax deferral to be an important feature when selecting a retirement investment, and about one in five consumers cited tax-deferred growth as the primary reason for owning an annuity. Among middle-income Boomers, 77 percent said that tax deferral is an important consideration when selecting a retirement product.
The full report is available here.

"Thank you for such prompt service on our order of Bridal Shower invitations. We ordered the invitations in the blue tones and loved them. The color and paper quality was great and the shipping was as expected. We will use you again for party needs."
"I ordered bridal shower invites but wanted to change the format to saywedding shower invites because I am including the groom on th invite. The team got back to me within one business day for two separate changes I made. They were very prompt and did everything exactly as I asked. On top of that the product is great quality and I'm very pleased. Would definitely recommend them and would use them again myself!"
"As always, I am very happy with the invitations I ordered. WPD offers so many styles and designs! I have always been able to find one to match the event I am planning. Most impressive with this order is that I selected the New Super Rush delivery. I had my order in LESS THAN 36 HOURS FROM WHEN I PLACED THE ORDER! I will always return to WPD and will recommend them to all my friends."
"The quality of the invitation was exceptional. At first, I was concerned because some reviews indicated that the basic card stock was too thin. That was not the case at all with this card. My info did not originally fit on the card. I thought that I would have to figure out a way to make it fit. Again, that wasn't the case. I filled in the info and within an hour the designer came back with a layout that worked perfectly....and I didn't have to compromise my info at all. The card was so "first class" I couldn't wait to get it in the mail for my friends and family to see."
"The card was just perfect for our shower theme which was peacoks and glitter. It was elegant and beautiful. Your designer worked with us on the printing and it came out perfect."

Interface is a recognized leader in the commercial interiors market, offering floorcoverings and fabrics. The company is committed to the goal of sustainability and doing business in ways that minimize the impact on the environment while enhancing shareholder value.
Today, we are promoting sustainable business practices-within our global community and in the products we make. For Interface, sustainability is more than surface appearance. It's a belief that is built into our business model. It's an underlying corporate value, ensuring that business decisions are weighed against their potential impact on the economic, natural and social systems we touch. It's a means for our associates to deliver superior value to our customers and to our shareholders.
Interface is a global company with manufacturing locations on four continents and offices in more than 100 countries.
Interface's Commitments
No individual and no company is truly "sustainable" yet. Sustainability cannot be reached by concentrating on just one or two of the three elements: economic, social and environmental. It takes all three to reach sustainability. That is why so many corporations and individuals are still searching.
Sustainability is not so much about what you "do" as it is reflective of "thinking about what you do before you do it." The heart of sustainability is found by making informed choices on all three fronts, and gaining the knowledge to act in a way that doesn't jeopardize the future.
Sustainability is hard work. Becoming a sustainable enterprise is like climbing a mountain that is "higher than Everest." For many companies, the first and most difficult step on that climb is not on the mountain itself, but rather admitting that the mountain exists.
We see the mountain and we're climbing it. We have laid out a path to sustainability on Seven Fronts, you might say the seven faces of the mountain.
Seven Fronts
Eliminate Waste: Eliminating all forms of waste in every area of business;
Benign Emissions: Eliminating toxic substances from products, vehicles and facilities;
Renewable Energy: Operating facilities with renewable energy sources – solar, wind, landfill gas, biomass and low impact hydroelectric;
Closing the Loop: Redesigning processes and products to close the technical loop using recovered and bio-based materials;
Resource-Efficient Transportation: Transporting people and products efficiently to reduce waste and emissions;
Sensitizing Stakeholders: Creating a culture that integrates sustainability principles and improves people's lives and livelihoods;
Redesign Commerce: Creating a new business model that demonstrates and supports the value of sustainability-based commerce;
We've created this ourselves, and it hasn't been easy. Sustainability is complex. It involves the thousands of ways our company connects to society and the natural world.
Our largest and most difficult problem to overcome has been the existing laws and regulations governing commerce. The current infrastructure subsidizes unsustainable industrial processes. To make significant progress, we will need the cooperation of government and other industrial partners to shift taxation away from economic and social benefits, (labor, income and investment) to detriments, (pollution, waste, and the loss of primary resources).
Won't you join us in our journey

For the duration of this weekend stint, Carter is sharing a conjoined suite with another legendary partier longtime friend Bobby Brown. Brown spent much of Friday evening out of sight save for a 3 a.m. appearance at Carter's hotel room, where, soaking wet and dressed in nothing but a towel, he looked to borrow something. For his part, Dee spent the wee hours with three middle-aged groupies who planted themselves in his hotel room until it was time for this reporter to get lost.
It's hard to tell if Carter's buzz is freshly acquired or lingering from the earlier one, but either way, he's especially talkative about hip-hop and what's kept him going for the past 25 years.
"There's just something about going out there and having 20,000 people in the palm of your hand every night that's addictive," he says. "I had to make sure my game was tight, because it was about showmanship back then. You really had to stand out and be different for anyone to notice you, because all the DJs were so good."
"Drew had beautiful timing," Adler remembers. "He was the drummer basically, and he did it with flair. He could cut a record with his nose. I mean [Grandmaster] Flash was incredible, and he could spin around and cut with his elbows, but Drew could do it with his face."
"All the DJs wanted to be like Grandmaster Dee 'cause he was the best," Dane adds. "Even Jam Master Jay, who was one of the greatest ever, wasn't as incredible as Grandmaster Dee. Dee had control of every cut, every motion. He could read the crowd, the MCs; he knew when to drop the record, when not to, and could let the fellas do what they had to do."
"Drew was always ahead of the game, even back when we first got together," says Dr. Ice, who has now joined the entourage at the bar. While some may remember Dr. Ice from his time in the group U.T.F.O. and their breakout 1985 hit "Roxanne Roxanne," he was also a part of the Keystone Dancers alongside his partner Kangol Kid; the pair were brought on to enhance Whodini's live performances. Although Kangol has retired from hip-hop, Whodini still includes Dr. Ice in all of its current shows so that rapping, scratching, and dancing three of the four vital elements of hip-hop are represented each time they take the stage. "We came up in the days when DJs were party rockers," Dr. Ice says, "and a part of what makes Drew so good is that he still has that quality about him today."
By now, Ecstasy and a few longtime Whodini affiliates are flanking Carter at the bar. Everyone is laughing, cracking jokes, and reminiscing. Turn back the aging process and you could be looking at one of today's rap posses.
Carter says his first encounters with DJ'ing were through Masta Don from the Def Committee and DJ Whiz Kid, who took him under their wings his freshman year at Julia Richman High School in Manhattan. "Every day after school, we'd work out on the turntables," he says.
The first time he heard the music, as a freshman on his high school's basketball taxi squad, he was electrified. "I went to the lunch room one day, and they had the boom box set up, and I remember hearing with the echo effect, 'Yes yes y'all, and you don't stop, you are listening listening, to the sounds sounds of DJ Afrika Afrika, Bambataa Bataa, and the mighty mighty Zulu Zulu Nation Nation.' And I was like, 'What was that?' like, ooh, I want to be down with that."
Soon enough, he was. Everything about hip-hop was growing at an exponential pace, and Carter's DJ'ing skills were no exception. By 19, he already had his own group, Grandmaster Dee and the Devastating Two, with Carter on the turntables and two female MCs called Dimple D and Giggle G.
Around 1980, he also fell in love with the late-night broadcast of New York's preeminent radio host, Mr. Magic, on radio station WHBI. It was the only radio show in town where you could hear hip-hop, and Carter tuned in religiously. Though he didn't know it at the time, this would eventually lead to the formation of Whodini.
"Me and Jalil didn't even know Drew back then," Ecstasy says. "We had our own group, the Quadra Brothers. This would have been like '80 or '81. But we were fans of the Mr. Magic show. We recorded a little radio jingle, like a commercial bigging up his show, and Magic used to play it on the air. After that, we started working at the station just answering phones to help out, and the first person to call in every [Saturday] night was Grandmaster Dee. He used to call in every night to check in."
Magic rented the Saturday-night graveyard slot between 2 and 4 a.m. for $75 an hour. Anybody who cared about hip-hop was glued to the radio. Carter laughs as he recalls his standard catch phrase, which was echoed through boom boxes across New York City each Saturday night. "I used to call up and say, 'Yo, what's up, Mr. Magic? This is Grandmaster Dee, and, yo, I'm checking out Mr. Magic on WHBI, 105.9. '" Although it was pure shameless self-promotion, both Jalil and Ecstasy were intrigued by his resolve. The three met and practiced together, but they didn't become a trio for a few more years.

Work Choices dead - Abbott
PUBLISHED: 17 Feb 2010 15:09:15 | UPDATED: 18 Feb 2010 05:01:40PRINT EDITION: 17 Feb 2010
The Howard government's Work Choices regime is "a dead policy from an old government", federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has said.
Visiting Geelong, in southwest Victoria, on Wednesday, Mr Abbott refused to be drawn on how his industrial relations policy would differ from Work Choices but said the old system was no longer relevant.
"That was a dead policy from an old government," Mr Abbott said.
"The issue is not what the former government did, the issue is what the current government is doing.
"Why is Julia Gillard, why is Kevin Rudd reducing the wages of some workers, increasing the costs of some businesses, and jeopardising vital export projects?"
Visiting a bakery in Geelong, Mr Abbott said the Rudd government's new industrial relations laws would typically add 20 per cent to the wages bill of a bakery.
"That means perhaps one dollar a loaf increase in the price of bread," Mr Abbott said.
"Obviously, this is going to be very bad for employment in the bakery industry, it's going to be very bad for our economy because it is effectively a new tax on jobs.
"It is effectively a new tax on the staples of life."
Following on from his controversial comments about housewives and their ironing costs last week, Mr Abbott also took time to make some scones and quiches at the bakery with Liberal candidate for Corangamite Sarah Henderson.
After he and Ms Henderson confessed they had never made scones, Mr Abbott turned to Ms Henderson saying he thought "every country woman had baked scones".
