Angie Stone (born Angela Laverne Brown December 19, 1961) is an American soul/neo soul singer-songwriter, record producer, and actress. She has been nominated for three Grammy Awards. Stone has been most successful on the R&B charts, with four top 10 albums, including a number one, and 10 singles, including a top 10. She has sold over 1.4 million albums in the U.S. and over five million worldwide.
Early life[edit]
Stone was born in Columbia, South Carolina, where she began singing gospel music at First Nazareth Baptist Church, under the leadership of Reverend Blakely N. Scott. Her father, a member of a local gospel quartet, took Stone to see performances by gospel artists such as the Singing Angels and the Gospel Keynotes.[1]
Musical career[edit]
The Sequence[edit]
In the late 1970s, when Stone—then known as Angie B. -- was 16,[2] she formed the rap trio The Sequence, a female hip-hop/funk act consisting of Cheryl The Pearl and Blondie. They were the second rap group signed to the Sugar Hill Records after auditioning for Sylvia Robinson backstage at a Sugar Hill Gang concert in South Carolina.
The Sequence had a hit in 1980 with "Funk You Up", which reached number 15 on the U.S. Top Black Singles chart, and a minor hit with "Monster Jam" featuring rapper Spoonie Gee. Regarding the royalties of the wildly popular hit, "Funk You Up", Stone said: "Sylvia had sold the licensing and rights to the song over to Dr. Dre. Right now to the day Dr. Dre is collecting publishing on a song we wrote. I never had a publishing deal because I was underage. By the time I went to deal with it legally the building had burned down and there were no records or files of anything. So [The Sequence is] still being cheated. It hurts because this was our first song ever by the first female rap group worldwide."[3]
The Sequence enjoyed a series of rap hits as the first female rap group during the early years of hip hop. Such hits as "Funky Sound (Tear The Roof Off)" kept the band touring with many of the Soul Bands of the day. Stone said: "Sylvia Robinson was a mentor for us all. We learned every trick of the trade from her.... When my group did break up she had already positioned me to stretch out because I had a gift and she acknowledged the gift a long time ago."[3]
Stone then worked with Mantronix, before singing background on Lenny Kravitz's fifth studio album, 5. The Sequence faded into obscurity as hip hop changed from its original party sound to a more gritty street art form.
Vertical Hold[edit]
Stone emerged during the 1990s as part of the trio Vertical Hold which released the popular single "Seems You're Much Too Busy" as well as two albums: A Matter of Time (1993) and Head First (1995).[4]
In 1996, Stone teamed up with Gerry DeVeaux (Lenny Kravitz's cousin) and Charlie Mole to form the group Devox. They recorded one album, Devox Featuring Angie B. Stone, released in Japan by Toshiba EMI. Selected cuts were featured on Gerry DeVeaux's Front Of The line via the UK Expansion Records, which also included Stone-penned material.[5]
Collaboration with D'Angelo[edit]
Stone shared songwriting credits on D'Angelo's first two studio albums, Brown Sugar (1995) and Voodoo (2000), as well as provided backing vocals when on tour with him. On this collaboration, Stone said "In my case, I came from a hip-hop success story to a songwriter that ended up getting a second chance with another group, ended up falling in love with a superstar sex symbol. And within that pivotal moment of my career, it's almost like I lost myself because the relationship overshadowed Angie Stone, the singer, the songwriter, the producer. It reduced me to just being a woman with a baby from a superstar."[6]
Solo work[edit]
J Records[edit]
Stone's debut solo album, Black Diamond, was released on September 28, 1999, on Arista Records; the album was eventually certified gold by the RIAA. She then released Mahogany Soul on October 16, 2001 (which also went gold, on Clive Davis's J Records label), and Stone Love on July 6, 2004.
Much of Stone's solo material has significant soul influences and features notable samples. For example, her first solo single, "No More Rain (In This Cloud)", samples Gladys Knight & the Pips' 1972 song "Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)", while "Wish I Didn't Miss You", Stone's most successful single, samples The O'Jays' 1972 song "Back Stabbers". The New York Times noted: "[Stone] calls her music soul. Not funk, not R&B, not hip-hop, not urban, but soul, the secular pop with gospel fervor behind it."[7][8]
Stax Records[edit]
During an interview to BBC 1Xtra on August 27, 2006, Stone announced that she had signed to the reworked Stax Records. Her fourth studio album The Art of Love & War was released on October 15, 2007. The lead single was "Baby" and featured Betty Wright. Its music video features cameo appearances by comedian Mike Epps and America's Next Top Model, Cycle 3 winner Eva Pigford. The song was nominated for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 2008 Grammy Awards.
The significance behind the record's title was about her changing situation at J Records with Clive Davis, during a time when she said she was contemplating leaving the secular set and going straight to gospel music.[9] The record was recorded at Marvin's Room, the same studio where Marvin Gaye recorded many of his later albums.[10]
"My People", a track on the record that the actor Idris Elba wrote for the Stone, is "a serious and hilarious song about black empowerment."[11]
Angie released her fifth studio album Unexpected in the UK on February 8, 2010, on Stax Records. Speaking to noted UK R&B writer Pete Lewis of the award-winning Blues & Soul in January 2010, she explained her ideas behind Unexpected: "Being as I've delivered four decent albums already, I felt it was safe to switch up and do something different this time. And musically overall I just wanted to have FUN! I wanted to do something that embodied a jam kinda feel, so that we could have some fun in concert and show people everything doesn't always have to be so serious."[12]
Saguaro Road Records[edit]
In 2012, Stone signed to Saguaro Road Records, an in-house music recording label of Time-Life, and released Rich Girl September 25, 2012.[4]
The actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner contributes a poetry-slam-style spoken-word interlude to the record.[13]
Additional recording[edit]
Stone sings the theme song for the UPN/The CW's sitcom Girlfriends.
In addition to Mary J. Blige, Stone has worked with many artists, as both a songwriter, as well as - in the case of Lenny Kravitz - playing the saxophone on his Let Love Rule tour.[3]
Stone participated in Music in High Places: Angie Stone - Live in Vancouver Island (2002).[14]
She also sang "Wade in the Water" in the civil rights documentary Soundtrack for a Revolution.[15]
Stone performed a stand-up theatre play tour entitled Issues: We've Got Them All, in which she had a leading role.
Stone toured with Sisters in the Spirit in 2007. She also toured in Europe in May/June 2008 and performed at various Summer Festivals in the U.S. in summer 2008 (including three headlining June shows) and two in the Netherlands in August 2008.
Angie Stone appeared at London's IndigO2 (at The O2) on July 23, 2012.
Acting career[edit]
Stone appeared on the VH1's reality television series Celebrity Fit Club for the fourth season, which began on August 6, 2006. While on the show, Stone lost eighteen pounds, the second lowest loss in the history of the show.[16]
Stone played a strip-club owner in the film Pastor Brown (2009).[12] Stone then played the Head Matron of an all-girls school in the film, School Gyrls (2010), directed by Nick Cannon, which featured many Def Jam artists.
Along with NeNe Leakes, Stone co-starred in the play, "Loving Him is Killing Me," that was performed in Washington, DC, Miami, and Philadelphia in May 2011. The play was written by Theo London and also starred Tyson Beckford and Christopher Williams.[17]
Stone and Brian McKnight, who starred together in Chicago on Broadway, starred in the national tour of Hinton Battle's "Love Lies," which started on April 2–7, 2013 at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C. The cast features McKnight as Harrison Brown, Stone as Victoria Davis, Elise Neal as Kim Anderson, gospel singer-songwriter Crystal Aikin as Mother Harrison, comedian Kier Spates as Funeral Director and newcomer Amber A. Harris as Pam Jackson.[18]
In 2013, Stone appeared on season two of TVOne's R&B Divas.[19][20][21] Faith Evans, who produces the show, wanted Stone on the show the first season but the timing didn't work out until the second season.[22] Stone's role is that of a mentor and life coach.[6]
Personal life[edit]
Stone has a son and daughter. During the 1990s, Stone dated neo soul singer D'Angelo for four years. Their son, Michael D'Angelo Archer II,[23] was born in 1998. Stone's daughter, Diamond, was born in 1984 and is from her marriage to Rodney Stone (also known as Lil' Rodney C!, from the hip-hop group Funky Four Plus One). Diamond contributed background vocals to Stone's 2007 song "Baby". Diamond [24] gave birth to Stone's grandson in 2008 and another grandchild in July 2012.[4]
Stone lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her son, Michael, and boyfriend and manager, Ashanti Graves, an airline auditor who has two children of his own.[9][25][26]
On March 9, 2015, Stone was arrested in her Atlanta-area home for knocking out the teeth of her daughter, Diamond, with a metal pole.[27]
Health issues[edit]
While working a temp job in a lab at New York City's New York-Presbyterian Hospital, 26-year-old Stone was exposed to a sap that gave her sarcoidosis. The treatment of this condition gave her health problems, mainly due to her strong doses of Prednisone. She was on the drug for 12 years, eventually weaning herself off.[11]
Stone was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 1999[28] and, along with comedian-actor Anthony Anderson,[29] was part of the F.A.C.E Diabetes (Fearless African-Americans Connected and Empowered) program sponsored by Eli Lilly,[2] which helps African Americans understand their risk for the disease and how to control it.[30] Stone said that both her mother and her mother's sister were diabetic.[31][32]

Domestic space flight is an idea whose time has come.
WITH THE HEAT of mid-year finally over—judging by the fact that Dallas has settled into a sweater-friendly 97 degrees—it's time to look back and see what we've learned from another summer filled with unpredictable weather extremes.
For example, a couple weeks in August were actually extremely comfortable, which was no help to my crusade to convince Fox-loving friends that the earth is warming. Lately, even scientists have been of little use, adamantly refusing to blame rampant forest fires and extreme droughts on climate change. They insist on "analyzing" patterns of weather "over time" to honor "standards of science." There's nothing worse than climatologists dragging their feet when there are righteous accusations to be flung. Global warming is behind EVERYTHING wrong! You know it. I know it.
Okay, sorry.
But this summer had way too many examples of the extreme consequences of climate change, including deadly tornadoes, inundating floods, and town hall meetings that brought forth a storm of discontent. Unsuspecting members of Congress had left the comforting gridlock of Washington, D.C., and, failing to first check for a full moon, had innocently invited questions from constituents in their home districts. This is almost always a mistake. You really need to test the water before you just walk into a home district unprepared.
According to many vocal Americans sitting in air-conditioned town halls, climate change is a hoax, President Obama has still not been born in the United States, and he refuses to renounce his Kenyan birthplace. (Even though he wasn't born there, it would be a nice gesture.) In a related matter, Texas senator and presidential hopeful Ted Cruz—is "notgonnahappenful" a word?—renounced his Canadian citizenship after discovering he was accidentally born outside the United States. It happens.
But back to this global warming problem, which seems to provide a unique opportunity for NASA in its struggle with draconian budget cuts. Yes, any dream of human space flight to distant planets is now untenable, even if it was always a dumb idea to begin with. ("Houston, we found another rock!") But I'm thinking there are places here on earth just as alien and inhospitable.
Mars, for example, is extremely cold at night, but not that much colder than Fargo, North Dakota, in February, give or take. Venus is extremely hot, with temperatures reaching 900 degrees Fahrenheit—definitely hotter than Death Valley—but at some point who can tell the difference? (Outdoor chefs on Venus reportedly have to turn their sidewalk eggs more quickly, if they want them over-easy.)
My point is, instead of sending astronauts to distant parts of the galaxy, why not send them instead to, say, Phoenix? There would be several advantages:
Airlines fly there on a regular basis, so astronauts could book seats on one of those. Of course, as savvy travelers will tell you, they should eat before they get to the airport. You won't believe how much Tang costs at the food court these days.
YOU GET THE idea. Since Congress is always looking for ways to cut unnecessary expenditures, such as Head Start and food stamps—pretty much anything not produced by Lockheed Martin—domestic space exploration is an idea whose time has come. It's cheap, it's quick, and maybe even a little fun. ("Houston, can we stay longer? They've got go-carts!")

Thank you for all the imput on painting my front door. I loved to hear everyone's thoughts! I went ahead and painted the door this weekend and I'm LOVING it. It adds the perfect amount of contrast to the area. Here's the before and after!
FYI I used Glidden's Onyx Black in eggshell on the door. And I spray painted the hardware with the same Dark Bronze paint I used on the rest of the knobs.

Recipe Rescue: Best Chicken (Baked and Cheesy)
The possibilities with chicken are endless, you can pretty much do anything you want and the chicken will be like "hey, I got this". (the chicken won't actually speak) This is a great, if not the best chicken, it's cheesy and baked. (half of the guilt and nothing but flavor power)

This year's Tom Joyner Family Reunion is taking place at the Gaylord Resort in Orlando, Florida from August 30-September 3 and 15-year-old Jacob Latimore will be there as part of the teen concert that also features the OMG Girlz and Diggy Simmons.
The Milwaukee native and his family moved to Atlanta in support of his career which began when his first single "Best Friend" made it onto Radio Disney. Now signed to RCA, Latimore is following the path set by other teen singers like Usher, Brandy and Monica, who all started their careers while they were still adolescents. He's already a staple on both the "Scream" tour and the Mindless Behavior #1 Girl Tour.

With so many "bargain sites" it's hard to keep them all straight, yet alone keep up on top of the deals before they pass you by. I was totally unaware of MamaBargains.com before they had contacted me to do this review. I thought it's just another deal site that I was not going to be able keep up with, but, I've been mistaken.
Mamabargains.com makes it easy to keep up on the deals as they are happening with a FREE newsletter, Facebook and Twitter updates. As soon as the deal is gone, it's gone – there is no more. Then the website reloads with the next deal until it sells out. These discounts are ALWAYS 40-80% off retail prices, so you know you'll be getting a great deal! With 2-10 deals running a day, it's worth your time to keep checking back or sign up for the updates.
One thing I want to make you aware of is that – ALL SALES ARE FINAL. So before you submit the Complete Order button be sure that all details are correct.
The checkout process was super simple. However, I did need to make a few adjustments with the quantity to my order and had to completely get out of the checkout section and readjust my order. I wish I was able to edit it right there at checkout. All in all, I was happy with the savings and super happy with the amount of product I was able to purchase for just $50.
I actually received a $50 gift certificate to MamaBargains.com to use and was a little disappointed that for several days I couldn't find anything to purchase. But, in one day I spent the entire $10 on six (6) sticker books. I did also place my order for four (4) floor puzzles from Twin Sisters to give to Mini Me and my nieces and nephews as Christmas gifts. However, two days after I placed my order I received an email from Customer Service stating that my order couldn't be fulfilled. I was devastated because the following day I could've ordered these super cute slippers for both Mini Me and the baby. However, I received a full refund.
One winner will receive a $25 Gift Certificate to use at MamaBargains.com

Thai Water Torture
Trip Start
Oct 22, 2005
Trip End
Where I stayed
Mr. Whiskey Inn
and we could now move onwards North (there are now probably forged copies of our passports for sale in the Bangkok black market). We thought with a morning to kill we'd go and see the Temple of the Dawn. Outside was another Wat where we saw the grave sites of local Thai Buddhists. A weird experience to walk through their cemetery. The Temple was covered in enamel tiles, though was not in as good condition as other temples have been. We wandered around for about an hour and thought it was time to move on, but there was one last thing to do.
The Chatuchak Weekend Market was listed as being "The King of all Markets" with over 15,000 stalls! It was said you couldn't see them all in one day so we (read Megan) had to check it out. We got a river boat down to the Sky Train station and headed off to Chatuchak. It was all that they made it out to be. We spent a good few hours wandering in and out of the claustrophobic stalls in suffocating heat. With 3,000 Baht ($100 AUD) each to spend Megan was in her element. There were hundreds of clothing stalls for women, with clothes ranging from 30 Baht to 400 Baht. Meg managed to get quite a few bargains and a new day pack as her old one was annoying the heck out of her (too small and uncomfortable so it will probably be filled with our shopping goodies and be sent home soon).
We would have loved to furnish our house with all the knick-knacks and cool stuff we saw in the home wares section. Sadly we had to settle on some small things that we can send home. Unfortunately Rick wasn't as impressed by the market as Meg. Being a taller and broad shouldered guy he has a lot of trouble finding clothes that fit him in Asia. Every t-shirt or top he liked, when put on, looked like a muscle top.
After stopping off at the MBK shopping centre at Siam Square for some other last minute things we headed to the taxi rank to take us back to our guest house. We have had a lot of trouble getting taxis in Bangkok to use the meter. As soon as they see a Forang(foreigner) they try to charge a flat rate at up to triple the normal price. If you ask them to turn the meter on they tell you to get out or pretend they don't know where you want to go. We know they are pretending because on our map the street names and tourist sites are in both English and Thai. Even in the "proper" taxi rank with a cop at the front we couldn't get a metered taxi and had to settle for a tuk tuk as we were in a rush to catch our bus. Megs offered 80 Baht, the driver wanted 150 Baht but Rick said we'd give him 100 if he was fast. It was probably the fastest, hair raising (and fun) ride we'd had in Bangkok.
Although we were told the bus would pick us up out the front of the Merry V Guest House we weren't surprised when we were made to walk with all our packs (having flashbacks of India) to the bus a few blocks away. On the way we started chatting to an English chick who was stressing big time. She had been told they put sedative in the air-conditioning then steal your valuables. She sought us out because she had just bought a pac-safe (the secure mesh cover for our backpacks) and wanted to know how to use it. When we made it to the bus Megan quickly showed her how to put it on, while other organised people quickly jumped on the bus to secure all the good seats. Meg's is just too nice! We then got stuck, crammed into crappy seats. At least she couldn't sit next to us.
As we drove off with her droning on to some other Aussie girls about the sedatives, we jealously eyed off two girls with the best seats. They were just above the steps, right under the air con with tons of lovely leg room. They sat their all proud, legs stretched out, playing with their i-Pods looking all superior and like. Our jealousy quickly abated when the air-conditioned started leaking freezing water all over them. Giggling quietly to ourselves we settled in for a long, long night.
About an hour in, a few other people started getting dripped on. Slowly at first, little drips. Not so bad. Then it began to gush and the heavens opened. Being ingenious Aussies with good initiative they pulled out the duct tape and plastic bags (also rapidly munching down chips so they could use the empty packets) and tried to plug the leaks. It worked for a while but sadly it was no match for the old air-conditioner trying to exact it's revenge (keep in mind we did only pay $8 AUD for the 12 hour trip). Although we stayed dry for a while, eventually Rick copped a bucket load of water straight onto his groin. He was busting to go the toilet but this was ridiculous! We played a bit of musical chairs and Rick moved to the back of the bus next to a mining couple from far North Western Austraila who were making the most of the cheap beer being sold onboard. They became quite offended when he politely declined their (second) offer of beer. After some complaining a few girls managed to secure some roomy seats downstairs and when the attendant offered up two more we jumped at the chance to move.
Comfortable at last we settled in for the remaining 8 hours. After a few restless hours sleep, broken by the bus randomly stopping for some reason, we pulled into a service station around 6am and were ferried off in taxis taking us to central Chang Mai. Whilst everyone was jumping in and loading their packs onto the roof, Meg was cornered by the English chick who now wanted her pac-safe re-fitted. Whilst quickly helping her out the taxi drivers questioned how many were in our Aussie "Skippy the Kangaroo" party. Quick as a flash the girl said "Three!". We looked at each other, rolled our eyes, both knowing we had to think of a way to unburden our self of our new high maintenance "friend".
When they had ferried us off to one of the guesthouses that pay the highest referral commission, we listened to the usual spiel about treks, tours, juggling elephants etc then basically we put on our packs and walked out, the English girl running behind yelling "Wait for me! Can I come too?". Meg quickly replied "We're only here for a day and we thought we might go to a very expensive hotel.", knowing this was outside her budget. She gave us a tearful look, bowed her head and sulked back to the rest of the backpackers, who at this stage we fully into booking their over-priced jungle treks. Sadly we never got her name. We did find out she was on the pill though, as she took it in the back of the taxi whilst befriending some poor Spanish guy who is probably now sharing a room with her.
As we walked (read bolted) out of the hostel a tuk tuk driver approached offering to take us to his family guest house. This turned out to be a dodgey place that we said "was very nice" but asked to be driven to another place, the Banana Guest House. They had no room, but offered to look after our bags while we searched for somewhere to stay. We stumbled across an Aussie-Thai run hostel within our budget called the Mr Whiskey Inn. They are right next to the cheapest laundry and net cafe (a kids gaming room). Bargain and they love Aussies to boot! The owner is from Bon Beach!
After a quick breakfast and cold shower, we did some washing, read the map and decided to walk into town. Rick is trying to drink his way through all the caffeine Red Bull type drinks they have on sale in Thailand. This morning's one is called White Shark. We don't know what's in it as all the writing is in Thai. Rick is on a caffeine induced high (as he normally doesn't drink coffee). He also wandered off while Meg updated this blog and got his hair cut for 50 Baht (approx $1.60 AUD). Now off to wander around town and check out what appears to be a really cool place to visit.

Andrew Varela Sings the Tough French Cop Role in Les Miserables
In college, Andrew Varela trained in opera while at Rutgers University in New York. But even though he says he loves the performing art form, he took another path.Photo courtesy Gexa Energy Broadway Andrew Varela sings the role of Javert in this production of Les Miserables.
"One of the realities of opera is that whenever you're in college and you're singing, everyone says, 'Wow, you're going to be great when you're 35.' For a younger person it makes you think, 'So why the hell am I doing this now?' I do love opera and I do love the work, but it didn't call to me enough to put in the time."
Instead, Varela went into musical theater and very successfully, building on community theater to regional and eventually appearing on Broadway in Les Misérables, Sunday in the Park With George and Little Women.
He's coming to Houston in the national touring production of Les Misérables courtesy of Gexa Energy Broadway, and the only change from Broadway is that this time he's singing the role of Inspector Javert, who hunts Jean Valjean, instead of the huntee Valjean, jailed for 19 years for stealing food.
Varela says when he went to an audition for the national tour more than two years ago, he was up for the Valjean part, but the director looked at him and said he would like him to sing one of Javert's songs. He did, it was a match and he's been touring ever since in this 25th anniversary production of Les Misérables.
And he's a big booster of the show, which he says has sold out everywhere they've gone. This is the perfect show for people who never go to theater, with its compelling story. And even if you are one of the 60 million people who have seen this musical since its start, this one is different, he promises.
"From the very beginning, you know that the show is different because they've re-orchestrated it, they've relit this show. We have state-of-the-art high-definition projectors that take the back wall of the stage and turn it into another actor. For a show that's as epic as this one, the projectors allow you a cinematic quality that's never been done before. "
Varela says one thing he's enjoyed about his career is the chance it gives him to take on different roles, different characters.
"I like to do what I do because it's a great life. What I discovered as I delved deeper into acting is that the chance to delve into someone else's life and reasons for doing things, it's a powerful feeling."
"I like to dive into characters that have been around for a long time. And reinvent them."
And even if you're thinking of just waiting till the Christmas Day unveiling of the Hugh Jackman movie version of Les Miz, think again. After all, the live version of "I Dreamed a Dream," "Master of the House" and "One More Day" won't be auto-tuned.
Les Misérables runs November 6-11 at the Hobby Center, 800 Bagby. For information, go to the theater's website or call 713-315-2525. $50-$150.

Title: | Letter, Matthew Zwerling to Israel and Florence Zwerling and Sara; June 26, 1964 |
Date: | 1964 June |
Description: | From the Zwerling (Matthew) Freedom Summer Collection. Typewritten letter from Matthew Zwerling to his parents, Israel and Florence Zwerling, and Sara, dated June 26, 1964. Discusses the positive community response in and around Clarksdale, Mississippi, to voter registration drives, and expresses optimism with regard to the lack of violence and police harassment experienced thus far. Zwerling also writes about his concern for Andrew Goodman. (Goodman was a civil rights worker and friend of Zwerling's from New York who was missing and later found murdered in Philadelphia, Mississippi, along with James Chaney and Michael Schwerner.)

Comments Thread For: Povetkin vs Holyfield Clash To Land at Hallenstadion?
According to its official web portal, Zürich-based Hallenstadion will be the venue for the return of Alexander Povetkin (22-0, 15 KOs), as he make his first defense of the WBA (regular) heavyweight championship. Hallenstadions news list announces that the first ever Russian super heavyweight gold medalist will face multi-time champion and ring legend Evander Holyfield (44-10-2, 29 KOs) on December 17, almost three years after Holyfield suffered a controversial loss to Nikolai Valuev at the very same stadium.
Holyfield is presently unranked by the World Boxing Association. Hallenstadion seats around 13.000 fans. [Click Here To Read More] |

Considering the fact that Povetkin was four years old when Evander turned pro I would say that I have to agree with you. And I like Holyfield and was always a fan and therefore the only thing I would like to see him do is retire with what good health he has left. And if Teddy lets this fight happen I will lose what little respect I have left for him. Wait, on second thought I really don't have any respect for him, so never mind on that point.

Like the ones that want Holyfield to retire really care about his health. He's a grown damn man and if he wants to fight let him fight. Holyfield gets a medical clearance and he's always in shape. Make history Holyfield. He got more heart than any of today's heavyweights.

Also on another point, even he beats that fake @ss chump Povetkin, that won't make history cause it's not even a real belt, Wlad has the real WBA (if there is such a thing) belt, Holyfield will just become the #1 contender in the WBA. |

Teddy is biggest hypocrite, if it wasnt his fighter he would be outraged screaming on ESPN how those Euro bums targeting a poor old American HW. and that if Delvin Rodriguez gained 80lb he would be the champ! but now that he has a fighter he is singing a totally different tune being all happy with making a "world champion" and now going to "Defend" his belt against a "Legend". Povetkin reminds me of Danny Green. Is Povetkin going to fight Roy Jones after the Evander fight? So he inherits the legend? Whats sad is that Povetkin was kind of respected in the boxing community before he signed with Atlas, now he has become a joke, I wonder why. Now you know why Atlas has no fighter, he is like a virus |

So let me get this straight-- it makes the gun vibrate right before or as you fire the last shot. That doesn't sound like a really great idea if you want to get a hit.

text: I am often told, "You're not my mother/father/legal guardian!" when I offer advice. For example, my roomie (one of my best friends in the world) is a total slacker. A week before a major paper was due, I asked if he had started it yet. The answer was no (but I hadn't either, so I didn't press it). The night before it was due, I was perched over my laptop, typing; he was watching a movie. I warned him that he wasn't going to write it on time. Long story short . . . he still hasn't written it and it was due two months ago . . . as in LAST SEMESTER. Our professor has been very nice, but his parents are furious that he still has an incomplete grade. I called him last night to ask him a question about our apartment (regarding where my missing pillow is) and I happened to ask him if he had started his paper yet. The answer was, "No . . . are you disappointed in me?" I was about to reply when I realized, "Oh, dear, I sound like my mother . . ." I often get that way when I talk to him and our ex-housemate Amaan about keeping the apartment clean . . . apparently, I'm the only one who knows how to wash dishes and do laundry . . . I have become my mother . . .

Special Effects (F/X) - Milestones in Film 1960-1969 |
Film Title/Year and Description of Visual-Special Effects | |
The Parent Trap (1961) Disney's family film, starring teen idol Hayley Mills, used the process of doubling. The story was about identical twins Sharon McKendrick and Susan Evers (both Mills), separated at birth, who met by chance at an all-girls summer camp where they became rivals. Although the screenplay originally had only a few trick photography shots using split-screen technology, the number of them were increased when it was seen how seamless the processed shots appeared. The same scene was shot twice, with filmers locking the camera in position and shooting the scene a second time. Each part of the frame was then combined onto a single negative. The film convincingly put two Hayley Mills into the same frame, but the shots were usually pretty obvious in light of recent developments in visual effects. Body doubles (Susan Henning) were also used throughout. |
Birds (1963) Ub Iwerks was nominated for an Oscar for Best Achievement in Special Effects, but lost to Cleopatra (1963). Real birds and animatronic birds were used throughout the film. One of the film's most famous scenes was the one of dozens of birds slowly gathering on playground equipment - a complex special-effects shot that optically combined over two dozen separate elements. Shortly later during the scene of the bird-attack at the school, special effects combined the shot of the schoolhouse in the background with kids running on a treadmill in the foreground. Advanced rotoscoping and male/female traveling mattes were used in the 20-second scene of hundreds of birds flying over an aerial view of the town - a combination of real live-action footage with hand-drawn matte paintings. |
Jason and the Argonauts (1963) This Ray Harryhausen-created scene deserved special mention -- the spectacular stop-motion dueling-skeletons scene between Jason (Todd Armstrong) and sword-wielding attackers, in which life-like puppets-models were manipulated and shot one frame at a time. The film was also noted for its other amazing creatures, including the gigantic moving (and creaking) bronze statue Talos, the 7-headed Hydra, and two half-human, half-bird Harpies. |
Mary Poppins (1964) This film was the first winner of the newly-named Academy Award for FX - Best Achievement in Special Visual Effects. (After 1963, the category was split into two: Best Special Visual Effects and Best Sound Effects.) The musical fantasy blended live-action with animation, such as the sequence in which Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke frolicked with cartoon penguins, sheep and carousel ponies. The special effects technique used in the scene to combine live-action with animated characters and backgrounds was called sodium-screen (or sodium vapor) compositing - a new dual film traveling matte system similar to the blue-screen process, but using different tools. |
Fantastic Voyage (1966) This science-fiction classic film - the winner of the year's Academy Award for Best Achievement in Special Visual Effects, told of an expedition by miniaturized human beings into the bloodstream of a human body, within a high-tech military submarine (full-sized in actuality) that was shrunk to microbial dimensions. The interior of the scientist's body was created by using large, highly-detailed sets of various body parts (i.e., the brain, the heart). Through various techniques, the explorers were seen swimming through the body (the actors were suspended on wires). |
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) Miniature models of spacecraft, timer or manually-guided pre-motion control cameras, rear-projection (for the film's many video displays and computer monitors), full-sized props or models (such as the 30-ton rotating "ferris wheel" set of the spaceship), and other early techniques (such as a primitive type of "Go-Motion") were used. In the film's opening "Dawn of Man" sequence of prehistoric apes learning to use tools on the African savannah, retroreflective matting (front projection) was used to display second-unit background scenic shots projected from the front onto a reflective surface combined with soundstage photography of actors in the foreground - a technique now replaced by computer-processed blue-screen techniques. Near the film's end in the Star Gate sequence, astronaut David Bowman (Keir Dullea) traveled through the stargate corridor in a dazzling sequence (using a slit-scan photographic technique) - a sound and light hallucinatory journey or whirling lights and colors in which he was hurled through and into another dimension - where he died and was reborn as a Star Child. Other effects were achieved by applying different colored
filters to aerial landscape footage and a close-up of an eye, and filming
interacting chemicals. |

So, I bought my bike a couple of years ago at Performance. It was in the market for a good XC/All mountain bike and came across this bike that was marked down. I was pretty new to mountain bike jargon, but I new enough to look for certain things. I started inspecting the bike and it seemed nice. I soon noticed that the hubs, front and rear drs, crankset, shifters hyd disc brakes where all Shimano XT. I also noticed that it had a Recon Race front fork and some nicer looking Easton bars and stem. The next thing I noticed was the price $1399, which seemed pretty decent with all the nice components. The manager told me that this bike was built from a better bike that had frame damage during shipping and they needed to get rid of it. When it was all said and done I only paid 1000 bucks out the door for the bike.
I rode it several times and was pretty impressed, but now that I have learned a lot more I have some concerns.
I am seeing bikes with a lot of cracked frames. Is this really common and should I be concerned every time I hit a bump?
As far as I can tell the Recon Race only came in 100mm and according to information on the net this bike was setup for 140mm suspension. If this is true how bad is this throwing off my geometry and should I be looking for a new fork?
Lastly, will this frame handle the abuse of a 220lb rider on rough terrain or should I take all my nice parts and put them on a better bike? I really like the bike but I dont want to tear it up. I would rather make a light duty/back up bike out of it than just break it.

We hosted a Macaroni Kid Toy Party last weekend and it was indeed an awesome party! All the kids had fun trying newly released toys from our sponsors. At the same time, parents got the chance to enjoy the delicious cake and take a break from their busy life.
I would like to take the chance to review some of the great toys we tried last week. Please also stay tuned for next week's newsletter, because we will also host giveaways to our subscribers.
Barbeque Party
When we first started the party, Barbeque Party game quickly drew my 3-year-old boy's attention. The game is very simple. Each kid picks a card, and the card will tell us which food we need to grill. If you pick that card again, you will need to remove that food. The best part of the game is the barbeque grill will pop once it is tickled, and it means we will need to restart the game!
Winx Toys
Girls would definitely love this beautiful Believix fashion with sparkly wings. These wings can be removed so you can play this toy as a girl or as a fairy. In addition, there are eleven points articulation, which will allow your girls to try so many different poses.
V Tech Kidiminiz
Although the Kidiminiz is suggested for age 4-7 children. My 3-year-old boy and his friends are in love with this cute little playmate. This kitten can actually talk to the child, move around, and let the child know its needs. When the kitten tells the child that it is hungry, the child can feed the kitten and when the kitten tells the child that it is bored, the child can dance with the kitten.
The Budding Builder
I am not a very creative mother. Sometimes I have to browse the internet for fun activities and projects to do with my kids. The Budding Builder includes fifty building activities that you can do with kids. You will learn how to make a marker organizer, how to construct a sculpture by toothpick, and how to create a fairytale cottage.
This book is perfect for you if you have kids age three to six. The materials called for the projects are very easy to find and the instructions are very easy to follow. You and your kids will have lots of fun buidling all the projects.
Sbyke is a bybrid bike-scooter recommended for kids 8 years and older. This can be used for exercise, transportation, or simply for fun. I really like the design and its high-quality materials.
Sbyke is very easy to maneuver and it can be parked in garage as well as fit into the truck of your car. This will not only bring lots of fun to your family but also encourage your kids to be more active.

Any information about the function to be learned is called a hint. Learning from hints is a generalization of learning from examples. In this paradigm, hints are expressed by their examples and then taught to a learning-from-examples system. In general, using other hints in addition to the examples of the function, improves the generalization performance. The scheduling problem in learning from hints is deciding which hint to teach at which time during training. Over- or under- emphasizing a hint may render it useless, making scheduling very important. Fixed and adaptive schedules are two types of schedules that are discussed. Adaptive minimization is a general adaptive schedule that uses an estimate of generalization error in terms of errors on hints. When such an estimate is available, it can also be optimized by means of directly descending on it. An estimate may be used to decide on when to stop training, too. A method to find an estimate incorporating the errors on invariance hints, and simulation results on this estimate, are presented. Two computer programs that provide a learning- from- hints environment and improvements on them are discussed.

Man, 29, injured in Hutchinson accident involving Wichita driver
A 29-year-old Hutchinson man was injured early Monday morning in what police are calling an alcohol-related car-pedestrian accident in Hutchinson.
According to Hutchinson police Sgt. Brian Hirt, a 2005 Dodge Magnum, driven by Amber Morris, 29, of Wichita, was westbound in the 1400 block of East 26th at 1:56 a.m. when the vehicle hit Ted C. Vollnogel, 29, of Hutchinson.
Vollnogel was admitted at Hutchinson Regional Medical Center with fractured ribs and severe scrapes to his body, Hirt said.
"Alcohol is believed to have been a factor in this motor vehicle collision for both the driver and the pedestrian," Hirt said in a news release.
