What's eating the mint?
I have a mint that has been growing without care (sometimes being mowed down) for about 20 years. I am not sure but think it is either a peppermint or catnip....I will try this summer to determine what it is. Every summer I notice that even tho it grows well part of the leaves seem to shrivel and get little spots that look black but really are kind of see thru. Today I found a bug (never looked before) that is about 1/4 inch, orange body and head, black stripes on back and what look like tiny black wings with a yellow stripe on them. My concern with this now is that I have put in a flower bed that I am sure the mint will invade as the bed is touching the mint. I didn't think of this before, but if there is something attacking the mint I don't want it to attack other plants. I thought most insects left mint alone.
I think it's just a bug (possibly a lightning beetle?) and that it has nothing to do with the spots you get on the mint leaves which are probably fungal or bacterial speck of somekind and which, in any event, are completely unlikely to slow down the doggone mint. My mint gets a little tatty looking much like that as the summer wears on. I suspect the heat and relative drought stress the plant and make it more susceptible to the foliage disease. Whatever. Again, it isn't doing the mint any real harm in the long or short run. Were I you, I wouldn't worry about the bug (which would probably be perfectly capable of making its way to the flower bed even without the proximity to the mint). Instead, I would worry about installing some kind of root barrier to keep the mint from invading the flower bed -- or at least slow it down.
Sometimes plants that spread a lot get very crowded in the roots over time and it causes them to stress out because they're not getting enough nutrients, water, etc as they need it, so they get spots and turn black etc. I had some "Snow on the Mountain" that got very black and ratty looking every August because it's in a dry spot and very crowded. I tninned it out.. actually, I pulled all of it out, but it's still there.. just a lot healthier looking now. I bet if you dug up the mint and pulled nearly all the roots out, it might be a lot healthier looking. As to keeping it out of your flower bed... good luck!

The type of workpiece that presents the problem with which the present invention is concerned is exemplified by an unedged cant that has been sawed from a log. It will be understood, however. that invention is also ap plicable to the finishing of other types of partly finished workpieces, such as the cropping of a steel bloom in a rolling mill. Hence the following discussion and explanation is limited to cants merely for purposes of simplification and by way of example.
A cant is an elongated piece having substantially flat and parallel top and bottom finished surfaces but having unfinished longitudinal side surfaces which may be very irregular and which are usually oblique to the top and bottom surfaces. Since the cant is to be made into one or more finished pieces that have side surfaces which are accurately perpendicular to the alreadyfinished top and bottom surfaces, a certain amount of wood will be discarded in the finishing process. In the interests of economy, the finishing cuts must be so planned that the least possible amount of wood will be discarded. It will be evident that the orientation and spacing of the finishing cuts that will achieve best economy of material are dependent upon the configuration of the narrower one of the two finished surfaces of the cant, which narrower surface can be regarded as its top surface.
It has been recognized for some time that a computer could be utilized for calculating the most advantageous orientation and spacing of the finishing cuts. Obviously the computer requires inputs denoting the location of each edge of the top surface of the workpiece at each ofa large number of points along its length. Heretofore, however, there has been no satisfactory expedient for producing such inputs quickly and accurately. As a result, reliance continues to be placed upon the skill and judgment of experienced craftsmen to plan the finishing of cants.
In one prior art device, a cant was moved transversely to its length beneath spaced apart photoelectric cells that were arranged in a row extending lengthwise of the cant. As the cant approached the photoelectric cells, it was illuminated by light from a first source that shone upon it from behind its trailing edge and at a low angle of incidence to its top surface, so that its leading oblique side surface was unilluminated. Each of the photoelectric cells therefore produced an output signal that underwent an abrupt increase in magnitude as the front edge of the top surface came under it. At about the time that the longitudinal centerline of the cam came under the row of photocells, the first source of light was extinguished and simultaneously a second light source was turned on that illuminated the cant, again at a low angle of incidence to its top surface, but this time from in front of its leading edge so that its rear oblique side surface was unilluminated. Hence the signal from each photocell underwent an abrupt decrease in magnitude as the rear edge of the top surface passed under it.
While offering a theoretical solution to the problem. such apparatus was not practical. For accurate results, the cant had to be transported through the scanning zone beneath the photocells with a purely translatory motion, and it could not be allowed to undergo any joggling or reorientation during the course of such travel. More important. the need for moving the cant transversely to its length required the allotment of a considerable amount of floor space to that part of a sawmill in which the scanning operation was performed. Furthermore, the accuracy of the calculation made by the computer depended upon the closeness of spacing of the photocells, and hence required either that an awkwardly large number of photocells be used or that accuracy be sacrificed in using a lesser number of photocells spaced at larger intervals. The fact that signals containing the data input to the computer were issued from all of the photocells simultaneously was also a disadvantage, inasmuch as it greatly complicated the problem of interfacing the scanning apparatus with the computer.
The general object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages and to enable suitable inputs to be delivered to a computer from a single photocell that produces a rapid succession of signals which denote the location of each of the opposite longitudinal edges of the top surface of a cant or similar partly finished workpiece at each of a large number of stations that extend across the workpiece and are spaced from one another at close intervals along its length.
It is also a general object of this invention to provide a method and apparatus for very rapidly scanning a cant or similar elongated partly finished workpiece that has a substantially flat top surface defined by opposite more or less irregular longitudinal edges, and for producing sharply defined signals that accurately denote the location of each of said edges at each of a large number of closely spaced points along the length thereof, all without requiring any motion of the workpiece.
Another object of the invention is to provide a method and means for making rapid, automatic measurements of cants and similar workpieces in a manner that is practical for computer control of the finishing operation, thus making possible the elimination ofa tedious and rather difficult type of labor and the attainment of substantial savings of valuable material.
With these observations and objectives in mind, the manner in which the invention achieves its purpose will be appreciated from the following description and the accompanying drawings, which exemplify the invention, it being understood that changes may be made in the specific apparatus disclosed herein without depart ing from the essentials of the invention set forth in the appended claims.
The accompanying drawings illustrate several com plete examples of embodiments of the invention constructed according to the best modes so far devised for the practical application of the principles thereof, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a more or less diagrammatic perspective view of apparatus embodying the principles of the present invention; and
FIGS. 2a and 2b are diagrammatic perspective views which illustrate alternative methods of illuminating the 3 workpiece for scanning in accordance with the method of this invention.
Referring now to the accompanying drawings, the numeral 5 designates generally an elongated partly fiir ished workpiece. here illustrated as it cant that has been sawed from a log and has only its top and bottom stirfaces finished. The opposite longitudinal side surfaces 6 and 7 of the cant, which are unfinished and may be somewhat irregular, extend obliquely downwardly and laterally outwardly from the finished top surface 8.
The cant 5 is to have its opposite side portions removed. so that it will be brought to the form of a paral lelopiped, with side surfaces accurately parallel to one another and perpendicular to the top and bottom sur faces. Such finishing is accomplished by means of an edging machine that can comprise a pair of cutters. illustrated as two saw blades 9 and It). The cuts made by the cutters must provide for one or more finished work pieces of standardized width or widths, with a minimum wastage of stock.
The amount of material in the cant that is available for finished product obviously depends upon the con figuration of the narrower of the two finished surfaces of the partly finished workpiece. This is to say that the finishing cuts are calculated upon the basis of the shape and spacing ofthe longitudinal side edges 11 and 12 of the finished top surface 8. said edges being defined by the junction of that top surface with the respective side surfaces 6 and 7.
Information about the configuration of the top surface 8. obtained as described hereinafter, is fed into a suitable computer 13, in the form of input signals that correspond to the distance between an arbitrarily chosen reference line and each of the edges 11 and 12. The computer l3 can comprise known apparatus that utilizes such signals to make a calculation of the orientation of the cant and the spacing between the cutters 9 and ll) that will afford the economically optimum fin ishing cut or finishing cuts The computer issues outputs that automatically effect the proper cant orienta tion and cutter spacing The means for spacing the cutters 9 and in re sponse to computer outputs is not shown. ina much such apparatus is well known.
The means for orienting the cant comprises a pair of endless belts or bands 14 and 15. one under each end portion of the cant and extending transversely to the length of the cant. It will be understood that each of the endless belts or bands 14 and 15 is driven by a reversible servo tnot shown) that is controlled by outputs from the computer, and that proper coordination of the movements of the two bands effects the necessary edgewise rotation and/or translation of thc cant to pres ent it to the cutters 9 and 10 for the desired cut.
The cant can be advanced lengthwise into the area at which measurement takes place, and out of that area for cutting by the cutters, by means of a roller conveyor 16 that has its rollers extending transversely to the length of the cant and parallel to the length of the belts or bands 14 and 15.
From what has been said above, it is apparent that the key to a successful and economical finishing of the workpiece is the rapid generation of signals which accurately denote the locations of the edges 1] and 12 and which are in a form that can be utilized by the computer I3.
For the purpose of such signal generation. the present invention contemplates that the workpiece shall be illuminated alternately from opposite sides thereof. with illumination from each side being at a low angle of incidence to the top surface. As shown in FIG, 1, such illumination can be provided by means ot'two parallcl rows of lights 17 and 18 at laterally opposite sides of the workpiece. each row extending parallel to the top surface 8 of the cant and generally parallel to the longitudinal centerlinc thereof and being at a level a little above the top surface 8 of the workpiece.
It will be evident that when the lights 17 illuminate the cant, they shine upon its top surface 8 and upon its side surface 6 that is near them. but by reason of their low angle of incidence to the top surface they leave the opposite side surface 7 unilluminated so that they cast a shadow that sharply defines the longitudinal edge 12 of the top surface. Similarly, when the lights 18 shine on the cant. they illuminate its side surface 7 and its top surface S but leave the opposite side surface 6 in a shadow that sharply defines the longitudinal edge 11.
In general, according to the method of this invention a long. narrow scanning zone 20 is defined which has its length transverse to the longer dimension of the workpiece and which extends entirely across it. A rela tive translation is effected between the strip-like scan ning zone and the workpiece, in a direction lengthwise of the workpiece and hence transversely to the scan ning zone, By such relative translation the scanning zone is caused to traverse the entire workpiece from one end of it to the other. In synchronism with such translation of the scanning zone, the workpiece is alternately illuminated first from one side and then from the other, as described above.
Also synchronized with such translation of the scanning zone is a scanning operation that takes place lengthwise along the scanning zone. The scanning is cf fectcd with the use of a photo-responsivc detector or photo-electric cell 21, which produces an output signal that varies in correspondence with variations in the intensity of light reflected upwardly from the workpiece. Thus, if the scanning zone is scanned in the direction from the lights 17 towards the lights 18 at a time when the workpiece is illuminated only by the lights 18. there will be a zero or very low signal output from the photoelectric cell during the initial portion of the scan, and then. precisely as the scan crosses the longitudinal edge 11, there will be an abrupt increase in signal output to a relatively high level as the cell picks up the light reflected from the upper surface 8. The time during the scan at which that change in signal magnitude occurs is of course a function of the location of the edge 11.
As the scan crosses the opposite edge 12, there may be some change in signal level, either upwardly or downwardly, depending upon the rcflectancy of the oblique side surface 7. but there is no need to take account of this minor change in output level because the location of the edge 12 can be accurately ascertained in the next phase of the scanning cycle. As the direction of scan reverses, the lights 18 are extinguished or blanked out. and the workpiece is simultaneously illuminated from the lights 17. During the return scan there is an abrupt change in signal level as the scan crosses the edge 12. affording an indication of the position of that edge at the then-existing location of the scanning zone.
Obviously scanning could always take place in one direction along the scanning zone. with illumination from alternate sides during successive scans. Similarly, the scanning zone could be steadily translated all during the scanning cycle, or. instead, could be advanced incrementally for each scanning cycle or for each phase of a scanning cycle. Thus any of a variety of scanning patterns could be employed. depending upon the accuracy of the desired calculations and the program for which the computer 13 was set up.
The apparatus for carrying out the above described process that is illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises. in addi tion to the lights 17 and 18, a mirror 22 that is mounted for rotation about a fixed axis that extends transversely to the length of the workpiece and parallel to its upper surface, and guided actuator means 23 by which the photocell 21 is carried for bodily back and forth scanning motion in directions parallel to the rotational axis of the mirror. Both the mirror and the photocell are mounted above the workpiece.
The mirror 22 is elongated in the direction of its axis, having a length great enough to span the widest expectable cant. It is mounted at a location spaced beyond one end of the cant, while the photocell 21 is spaced from the mirror in the direction toward the other end of the cant.
At any given instant the photocell receives the light reflected from an incrementally small area of the top surface 8 of the cant, which light is re-reflected to the photocell from the mirror. It will be apparent that the strip-like scanning zone on the surface of the cam is defined by the mirror, as it reflects from the cant into the scanning path of the photocell; and it will also be apparent that rotation of the mirror about its axis has the effect oftranslating the scanning zone along the cant in accordance with the principles of this invention as explained above.
To provide for its rotation, the mirror is mounted on a spindle or shaft 24 that has one of its ends connected to a pulse generator 25 and has its other end connected with a suitable rotation servo 26. The servo causes the mirror to swing at a predetermined rate which effects translation of the scanning zone along the length of the cant, as explained above. At each of a predetermined series of increments of swinging motion of the mirror the pulse signal generator 25 emits a pulse signal that is fed to a synchronization element 27. The synchronization element, in turn, controls and coordinates the alternate operation of the lights 17 and 18 and scanning action of the photocell. as explained above. Inasmuch as the pulse signal is a function of the position of the scanning zone lengthwise along the cant, and denotes a reversal or other arbitrary point along the scanning path of the photocell, the pulse signals can be utilized by the computer 13 (to which the synchronizing element 27 is also connected) to define a coordinate axis to which can be related the edge location signals that are fed to the computer from the photocell.
It will be evident that instead of the mirror being tilted to effect translation of the scanning zone, the mirror could be held stationary and the conveyor rollers 16 could be driven, to effect lengthwise movement of the cam at a suitable rate. In like manner, the scanning along the scanning zone could be effected by means of various other known expedients functionally equivalent to bodily movement of the photocell.
F16. 2a illustrates an alternative method of coordinating illumination of the cant with translation of the scanning Zone lengthwise along the cant. In this case light sources 17' and 18' at opposite sides of the cant direct constant illumination towards it. but the cant is partially screened from the light sources at both sides of it by means of upwardly projecting fingerlike screening elements 29. 30 that are of uniform width as measured lengthwise of the cam. The screening elements are spaced apart by distances equal to their width. and those at each side of the cant are in staggered relation to those at the other side thereof, rather than being directly opposite one another. In consequence of this staggered relationship of the screening elements, the scanning Zone, during its translation along the length of the cant, passes through successive areas in which the cant is alternately lighted from opposite sides. first from one side as the scan moves through one area, then from the other side as the scan moves through the next area. Movement of the photocell can be so synchronized with translation of the scanning zone that the photocell moves in one direction in one such area and in the opposite direction in the next such area.
FIG. 2b illustrates another arrangement in which the cant is constantly illuminated from light sources at both sides of it. In this case, however, color filters are used to produce the same effect as alternate illumination. By way of example, the light source 17" at one side of the cant can shine through a red filter, while the other light source 18" can be equipped with a blue filter. During scanning, red and blue filters are alternately arranged in the beam path between the cant and the photocell, according to the direction in which scanning is taking place. Thus when the photocell is moving in the direction from the red light source toward the blue one, the red filter will be in front of the photocell so that it will respond to the red light shadow that terminates at the edge 12 and will be non-responsive to the blue light falling on the side surface 7. For the traverse in the op posite direction the blue filter will be in front of the photocell. so that it can produce a marked signal on crossing the edge 11.
From the foregoing description taken with the no companying drawings it will be apparent that this in vention provides a very simple and accurate method. capable of being practiced with inexpensive and compact apparatus, for obtaining signals that correspond to the locations of the longitudinal edges of one finished surface of a partly finished workpiece such as a cant, which signals can be fed to a computer that calculates the best orientation and spacing of cuts that will convert the workpiece to a finished one of optimum size with the minimum of waste.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the inven tion can be embodied in forms other than as herein dis closed for purposes of illustration.

I've been checking out local shops and searching the internet, but I'm unable to find the same brick for my house ( http://i.imgur.com/QTsmf.jpg ). I live in NY/NJ Metro and I was wondering if there are any specialty places that may possibly carry this style brick. Thank you in advance.
I agree with this. We tried to match up the brick on the front path of our 95 year old home this past spring to no avail. We finally settled on the closest one to it we could find. It was virtually impossible to get an exact match without being lucky enough to find reclaimed matches, which we didn't have the time for (a step was falling apart and our town was mandating we fix it pronto).

Before & After: French Ruin (Bought for 1 Euro!) Turned Cozy Cave Home
Who doesn't like a good Before & After story, especially when the before might just be the WORST before ever? (Okay, okay, this before might give it a run for its gloriously disgusting money.) This here is a photo of the inside of a trash-filled cave home that an enterprising French couple decided to turn into a modern masterpiece.

House Tour
Name: Sophia Hansjacob
Location: 11th arrondissement, Paris, France
Size: 355 square feet
Years lived in: 2 years
Sophia Hansjacob lives in what might be the perfect Paris apartment. This little flat has it all: beautiful details, huge casement windows, wood floors (in the bedroom), and the very best part: a balcony with a view over the rooftops of Paris.

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- I love that it is so light and that it looks so much bigger than it really is. The two rooms really make me feel like I own a bigger place. I also love the view of the Paris roofs, and my tiny balcony for breakfasts on Sunday mornings. The best thing, though, is that it is my first place. I decorated every piece of it and chose every object - it reflects my personality so well!
We Bought a 94-Room French Chateau
Nope, it's not a Matt Damon movie and it's certainly not your average fixer-upper. Australian couple Katrina and Craig Waters were on the lookout for a simple, French farmhouse when they happened across Chateau de Gudanes, a crumbling 18th-Century Chateau on sale for a song. Now, nearly two years later, their permits have been approved (phew!) and the epic renovation is underway. It's gonna be a long journey from moldy, rotting house to restored castle, but we'll be following along every step of the way as we vicariously join in this romantic adventure. Want to see more?

A Little Bit of Paris in Milan: A Visit to the Merci Pop-Up Shop
As much as I love Italy, I think I may have to admit to being a francophile at heart. One of my favorite moments during the recent Milan Design Week wasn't thanks to the undeniable genius of Italian design and didn't even take place at i Saloni. It was a pop-up outpost of the perfectly-on-point Parisian home goods shop, Merci. Take a look and get ready to "wish you were there" as I re-wish that I had brought along an extra suitcase to fill up for the trip home...
La Trésorerie in Paris
Best Shops
The newly-opened La Tresorerie is a treasure trove of beautiful things for the home. This building was one the 11th district's main treasury, hence the name, and you can still see the original bars on the windows, which have been painted a pretty pale blue. Set up in a similar vein to one of my other favorite Paris stores, Merci, it boasts a big space to display furniture, kitchenware and home furnishings, with a cafe next door (le Cafe Smörgås), where you can grab a coffee or a bite to eat in between shopping.
Top Tips for Maximizing Space in (Really) Tiny Paris Apartments...and Anywhere Else
It's no secret that Paris apartments can be pretty tiny. In fact, the City of Lights was recently voted the world's second most expensive city (right behind Singapore), so space is certainly at a pricy premium. This is something I know all too well, as I am currently on the hunt for a flat here. So, here are a few of my top tips for maximizing space — whether you live in Paris, or anywhere else.
4 Paris Fashion Week Trends for Interior Inspiration
Living in Paris, you can't help but be inspired by Fashion Week. For the past nine days the streets have been turned into an everyday runway filled with the fashion world's best dressed. Fashion has been all around, from sightings in the streets, to the chatter in bars and cafes. So while mulling over the biggest trends from Paris for Fall/Winter 2014, I began to wonder what they might look like translated into interiors. Here's a run down of my favorite four.

Spring Symposium 2014
A World Where All People Matter: Future Trends in Practice with Older Adults
March 26, 2014
12:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
McKimmon Conference & Training Center
Social Workers, Educators, Human Services Professionals and Community Members are invited to attend our annual Spring Symposium on March 26, 2014. As the United States is experiencing growth in the number of older adults in our society, so too are we in North Carolina. The enormous increase in life expectancy is causing a shift in how social workers are preparing for practice with aging baby-boomers. Demographic trends, lifestyle dynamics, health and well-being, are important practice considerations to ensure optimal quality of life for all people. Transformative approaches, knowledge, skills and values that are specifically focused on older adults are essential components of this Spring Symposium.
Participants will:
(1) Discuss trends and transitions in older adulthood
(2) Explore practice models with diverse groups
(3) Identify resources for quality of life across the life course
Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) and certificates of attendance will be offered. Light refreshments will be provided.
Registration begins February 7, 2014. To register, please visit: go.ncsu.edu/spring_symposium

Scott Herren Preps Prefuse, Savath & Savalas, Risil LPs
By Paul Thompson on June 6, 2008 at 2:05 p.m. EDT
Guillermo Scott "Prefuse 73" Herren may be just one man, but each of the man's many guises appear to be plotting something newsworthy right this moment. Herren's got a single and LP on the way from his new band, talk of a collaborative tour with a fellow producer, and a pair of LPs from two of his highest-profile projects to date. All of it's very much in progress as of this writing, but what we know now, we're telling.
Herren's recently-formed musical unit, Risil, will issue their first release-- a split 12" with Los Angeles' The Mother.Fucking Gaslamp Killer-- fairly soon. The band, consisting of Herren and members of Sunn O))), Hella, School of Seven Bells, Pivot, and others, will stick to vinyl-only releases like the single until their full length LP is properly slated for release from Warp. Risil recently posted some rough demos of their tunes on MySpace, should that combination intrigue.
In addition, there's a new LP from Savath & Savalas (pictured above, BTW) coming at us shortly. It's called La Llama, and when it's released, it'll bear the mark of the B-Music/Finders Keepers/Twisted Nerve imprints. Herren's also working up a new Prefuse 73 disc, due early next year on Warp, and he's been tapped to produce the next LP from Hella drummer extraordinaire Zach Hill as well. Uh, guess all that stuff about him not being on Warp anymore isn't quite happening.
On the performance front, Herren has a handful of gigs coming up-- including a spot at Cieszyn, Poland's Nowa Festival Muzyka, where he'll perform the first of a planned (but as yet unannounced) series of dates with Swiss producer Dimlite.
You got all that? That makes one of us.
Prefuse 73:
06-20 New York, NY - The Whitney Museum (Wordless Music Series)
06-27-29 Cieszyn, Poland - Nowa Festival Muzyka (collaboration with Dimlite)
07-03 New York, NY - Hiro Ballroom *
07-26 Chicago, IL - Wicker Park Fest
08-24 San Francisco, CA - Mission Rock Cafe
09-24 Buenos Aires, Argentina - TBA
* with Anti-Pop Consortium

Cascades Cadenza Music by PJP-R
Video by RBETIN
Volume VI: This is your body
As said F.K., this music is not to be listened, but to be savoured as one drinks a good vintage wine with its share of suitable rituals. It takes a time, a place, a context, a yearning to travel, a sense of sharing, an opened mind, an availability to fully appreciate it.
We must "hear" and agree to let it soak into our pores by capillary action, to let it go through out encephalalus , letting permanent trails and giving a taste of eternity.

Hey guys, I need your input here. I "shimmed my diffs" last week while I had my truck apart. While taking the diffs apart I saw that one of the diff rings was pretty hammered, so I bought a new pinion/ring for that diff. I installed both tonight and noticed that there is some binding going on in both diffs. After messing around with shims, it seems that they bind a little no matter what I do. I've inspected them thoroughly for burrs and they're clean. I cleaned the diff housings, so I know all the bearings are seating perfectly. Any ideas??
(I checked the side to side movement from the output shafts and they were tight...no need to shim yet)

lots of issues with the high pressure pump on this motor. I would have a truck shop verify this as it is a very expensive repair.

How much confidence do you have in these Ford dealership Mechanics. I ahve had a bad experience with one.
Replymastertech6371, June 27, 2011, 13:57Master
I dont believe in dealerships except for warranty work. I use real truck shops that know the systems well.
use our locator tab at the top to find shops near you.
ReplyBrian Glastetter, June 27, 2011, 20:54Master
After 23 years working in a dealership service department, I can say one thing without a doubt: the best and most up to date, cutting-edge technicians work at my facility. To precisely answer the question of the F-250 diesel: the "STC" fitting is leaking high pressure oil internally. An updated fitting is available.
I will not throw stones at independant shops- they have their place.
Replymastertech6371, June 27, 2011, 23:16Master
I have seen top notch guys in dealerships too and have the highest respect for them. In my area, not too many left and all that is left is parts replacers. It is a shame.

Country Star Miranda Lambert vs. Chris Brown
by Delyte Delyte
posted Feb 21 2012 10:33AM
Country Star Miranda Lambert got into a full blown twitter war with Chris Brown, tweeting that he should listen to her song, "Gunpowder and Lead" which is about a woman plotting to kill her abusive husband. She took it a step further during her concert Thursday in Massachesetts when she held up a sign that read, "Take Notes Chris Brown." Then she told the audience, "I just have to speak my mind, because where I come from, beating up on a woman is never OK. So that's why my daddy taught me early on in life how to use a shotgun." Chris Brown fires back in a series of tweets. "Using my name to get publicity? I love it! Perform your heart out!"

When Kobe Bryant was accused of sexual assault almost five years ago, the pitchman in Bryant fell off the face of the earth.

Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown was purchased in 2007 by Paul Pompa Jr. in April 2007 for $190,000. Later in the year, Pompa sold 75 percent of the horse to Michael Iavarone and Richard Schiavo of International Equine Acquisitions Holdings for $2.5 million.
Every time Under Armour announces its earnings, they get pounded for the same thing: high marketing costs. Wall Street is obsessed with that. Personally, I think it's overblown. They're a growing company that's now going head-to-head with Nike.
David Falk is an absolute legend in the agent industry. He's represented more No. 1 picks than any agent and he will always be known as the guy behind Michael Jordan. I always call Jordan the father of modern day sports marketing, but the truth is that Falk really is--Jordan was just the vehicle.

Product description
Mapmaking fulfills one of our most ancient and deepseated desires: understanding the world around us and our place in it. But maps need not just show continents and oceans: there are maps to heaven and hell; to happiness and despair; maps of moods, matrimony, and mythological places. There are maps to popular culture, from Gulliver's Island to Gilligan's Island. There are speculative maps of the world before it was known, and maps to secret places known only to the mapmaker. Artists' maps show another kind of uncharted realm: the imagination. What all these maps have in common is their creators' willingness to venture beyond the boundaries of geography or convention."You Are Here" is a wide-ranging collection of such superbly inventive maps. These are charts of places you're not expected to find, but a voyage you take in your mind: an exploration of the ideal country estate from a dog's perspective; a guide to buried treasure on Skeleton Island; a trip down the road to success; or the world as imagined by an inmate of a mental institution. With over 100 maps from artists, cartographers, and explorers, "You are Here" gives the reader a breath-taking view of worlds, both real and imaginary.
