Songs of Strength
When Thembi Nyandeni speaks of apartheid, the passion ignited by repressed memories rises in her voice. Then, you could be arrested just for being black. And this was our country, she says with quietly devastating authority. This South African has experienced mankind at its worst -- men who delight in subjugating and humiliating others simply because of their skin color. But she is still positive, not to mention successful. Nyandeni starred in Tsotsi -- the recent Academy Award winner for Best Foreign Language Film -- before cocreating Umoja: The Spirit of Togetherness. A major hit throughout Europe and her homeland, Umoja is an exuberant musical that tells the turbulent history of South Africa through native rhythms and dances. It is not a play where you wind up crying and depressed. You learn from it, Nyandeni explains. The audience will discover the eleven languages and cultures that coexist there, while the performers themselves enjoy a unique kind of education. Nyandeni and cocreator Todd Twala personally selected the cast. I picked them up in the street, most of them. They did not even know how talented they were. That low self-esteem is gone now. They are so confident, she says with a note of well-deserved pride. Umoja opens tonight at 8:00 at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts, 174 E. Flagler St., Miami. Tickets cost $20. Call 305-358-5885, or visit www.umojatour.com.

Lackluster results show challenge for HP's Whitman
SAN FRANCISCO Hewlett-Packard Co.'s first earnings report with Meg Whitman as CEO highlights the troubles she faces in setting a new course for the besieged company.
The latest quarterly numbers, reported Monday after the market closed, beat Wall Street's subdued expectations. But the forecast for the 2012 fiscal year left something to be desired. HP's shares fell.
The results show a company being pulled in two directions at once. The tensions underline a key challenge for Whitman, who is best known for building eBay Inc. from its startup days into a Silicon Valley icon and now must wrestle with one of technology's oldest companies amid management dysfunction and economic malaise.
Whitman's first major decision as CEO was deciding to keep the $40 billion-plus personal computer business, which her predecessor, Leo Apotheker, had wanted to sell or spin off. That business is pulling HP toward the low end of the technology market. PCs notoriously carry thin profit margins, and customers are spending less on them amid challenges from rival technologies, mainly smartphones and tablets. HP sees PCs as an inexpensive way to get its sales hooks into corporations and sell more expensive technology.
Meanwhile, HP has spent tens of billions of dollars expanding into those more profitable areas of technology services and software. But cracking those businesses means facing entrenched enemies such as IBM Corp. HP faces serious questions about its competitiveness at the high end of those markets.
The latest earnings report showed HP's net income fell 91 percent - mostly because of write-downs and charges for Apotheker's decision to kill off HP's fledgling tablet and smartphone lines. So staying on track will be a challenge.
The company earned $239 million, or 12 cents per share, for the quarter ended Oct. 31. That's down from $2.54 billion, or $1.10 per share, a year earlier.
Excluding one-time items, HP earned $1.17 per share, more than the $1.13 analysts expect on average, according to FactSet.
Revenue fell 3 percent to $32.12 billion, but that beat the $32.05 billion analysts expected.
HP's shares briefly rose in extended trading, after the results were reported. But momentum turned against the company as investors digested the weaker outlook, and the shares fell 28 cents. In regular trading Monday, the stock fell $1.13, or 4 percent, to close at $26.86.
The forecast was lower than most analysts' targets. HP said it was being "cautious," citing turmoil in Europe amid the debt crisis there, soft consumer spending and weakening spending by businesses.
Analyst Brian White with Ticonderoga Securities called the outlook "weak" but said the stock has some appeal in investors because of its previous declines. Indeed, the stock has fallen 40 percent since CEO Mark Hurd was ousted last year in an ethical scandal.
"HP has valuation on its side and expectations are low; however, we believe this turnaround story will take time to play out, and the darkening macroeconomic environment is only likely to hinder this cause," White wrote in a note to clients.
The profit decline in the latest quarter was caused in large part by $3.3 billion in charges for HP's earlier decision to kill its tablet and smartphone businesses, as well as other write-downs and acquisition costs. Revenue in three of HP's biggest divisions - personal computers, printers and ink, and servers and networking - fell as well.

2002 BEST Toy Store
No Kidding
Talk about misnomers. There's nothing but kidding—and playing and learning—going on within these walls.

Merchandise tends toward the more educational and high quality—Thomas the Tank Engine, Hello Kitty, and Playmobil, as well as classics like Radio Flyers—but the bottom line is having fun, especially on fall Friday nights when the shop hosts card games, arts and crafts, and sing-alongs.

Was great quality but too small - 110lb dog
From the picture it looks like it may accommodate a very large dog. We have a large chocolate lab that weighs about 110 pounds. We had to return it because he was too big for the bed. Our dog prefers to sprawl not curl up. I wish it came in a bigger size. W e got the Large in tan and I really liked it. Was bummed it was too small.Read More
Wonderful Bed!
I'm so glad I made this purchase - I bought two beds, and both are well made, very fluffy, and seem to be of good quality. I have a boarder collie and she fits perfectly on the bed.Read More
he loves it
stormy loves it, went through 4 beds, he would lay half in half out,this one is perfect just as showenRead More
Marilyn in Payson Az
This has been dog tested by our 10 y/o basset hound and she loves it. It has a good amount of padding. The dog took right to it so it must be good.Read More
Dog Bed
Bought three of these for my Setters. They LOVE them!Read More
Comfy, cozy!
I ordered this for my two small dogs, one is 11 pounds and one is 7 pounds. They prefer something to lay against, so the 'bumpers' oon three sides were perfect. Scoop & Yogi prefer to sleep together, so I couldn't have been happier when they both jumped right into the bed when it arrived....plently of room for another dog...hmmmmm...LOL! Thanks overstock, great present for my furry children!Read More
Way too small for large dog
The bed is beautiful & looks like a comfy couch but the picture is deceiving because there is NO WAY a lab will fit comfortably on this dog bed. We have a large lab & although the dimensions of the bed are correct, take into account that this is for the outside of the bed & the inside is much smaller. Overall, looks great but a large dog will not fit into the bed.Read More
Nice dog bed
This dog bed is pretty nice, I wish that their was more filling in it, once our dog gets on it the bottom portion seems to compress almost to the floor. The color is accurate and the quality of the cover is nice. The "sheep" like part - the white area is really soft. It also seems a bit bigger than the dimensions because of the raised sides which actually splay outward when the dog is on the bed.Read More
Very comfortable
Very soft, my dog loves the side cushions for his head.Read More
Fair Quality but Expected More based on Price.
I have a pitbull terrier and she's gone through several beds in the last 18 months. Based on the price, I expected this dog bed to be more than it is. Many other customers have already commented on the minimal filling and side wrap that flattens unless supported... I agree to these complaints. However, I went ahead and added an old pillow into the base of the bed and it made a dramatic difference. Stella can now use the bed and not have it smush to the ground. As for the problem with the side bars, I had to position the dog bed in a corner and "MacGuyver" my night stand to serve as the third "wall" to reinforce it from flattening. To level set, it's a okay buy but your dog will not be able to lay in the middle of the room as the dog pictured... not sure how they propped up the sidewall during the photoshoot.Read More
Questions & Answers
highly reviewed. appeared high quality. liked the color choices and style. similar to one a friend owns. couldn't find it anywhere but here.
Looks comfortable.
Serta pet bed was not available in the color I wanted
Gotta get the dog off the people furniture in the living room...hoping she loves it!
current dog bed is in bad shape and this is sage green with a removable cover
Is it possible to buy replacement covers for this bed?
We are still researching this and should have the answer shortly.
Hello Joyce, we do not have any replacement covers in our inventory. Thank you for checking with us..
The bolster bed's height is given as 10 inches. Does that mean that the bolster is 10 inches high,then how thick is the bottom part of the bed? Monika
No, it's 10 inches from the base. About 7 inches from the inside of the bed.
Will the cover hold up to a dog who digs before he lies down?
Hello vakdevi, this lounger pet bed is made with lock stitch seams and durable woven fabric resist tears. It would be a great be for a dog who digs before he lies down! Thank you for shopping with us!
Does this bed come in black in a smaller or medium size. If so please provide measurements. Thankyou
This bed is only available in the sizes and colors listed.
Do the bolsters come out of the cover to allow for washing of just the cover with no filling?
Hello Mepetdoc! Washing Instructions: Zipper cover removes easily for machine washing and drying. Thanks for shopping with us!
I have 3 of these. Bolsters do not come off. Zippered cover, but too difficult to get off & put back on. So to keep clean, I keep covered with a soft, washable blanket. I have 3 of these, and both my dogs and cats want to sleep on them. May sag somewhat on one end with heavy weight dog-but does not stop pets from wanting to sleep on. My dogs prefer this to other beds I have bought.
hello, i am interested in the black bottom, tan top. i can't tell from the picture if it is in stock. as of now i have tan in my cart, but i saw black earlier. can i get black with tan? thanks!
The colors we currently have in our inventory are listed under the options menu. Unfortunately, we do not have the black in stock. Thank you for your interest.
how come black is not an option? can it be personalized?
We do not have black in stock at the moment, but we may be getting some in soon. We do not offer anything to personalize the item.
Will this size be okay for a large Golden Retriever?
It''s advisable to make a comparison with the dimensions, which are 40 inches long x 25 inches wide.
What is the filling? Is the product filled with sand?
This bed is filled with polyester.
Is this a medium size bed. What size dog is recommended?? Where is this dog bed made -- China; USA; etc. ?? thank you..........

The actual sleeping area is approximately 24 inches by 15 inches.

WELCOME TO DAYBOOK, our daily collection of media and politics hits/misses from a wide variety of sources plus fun videos and (and at the bottom) musical picks. Return for updates all day. Keep up with fresh items via tweets [1]. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com [2]. To increase type size hit the middle "A" above right.
We've been hitting the clownish, if dangerous, Jeffrey Goldberg [3] that past couple days so it's good to see Glenn Greenwald arrive with a full skewering today: "he's so representative of the American media because the more discredited his journalism becomes, the more blatant propaganda he spews, the more he thrives in our media culture."
Important Andrew Bacevich op-ed [4]in Wash Post on the endless Afghan war and how that won't change under Gen. Petraeus. Concludes: "The responsibility facing the American people is clear. They need to reclaim ownership of their army. They need to give their soldiers respite, by insisting that Washington abandon its de facto policy of perpetual war."
Think Progress: On ABC this morning, CIA chief Leon Panetta [5] admits maybe only 50 to 100 al-Qaeda in Afghan, meaning at least 1,000 U.S. troops per... As we predicted: Sen. Diane Feinstein, a top Dem on foreign affairs, says if Petraeus [6] wants to extend troop drawdown deadline for gosh sake "give it to him."
The Independent from London: McChrystal's last briefing [7] for NATO said expect no progress next six months, could take years.
Frank Rich [8]: McChrystal should have been canned earlier and whole affair puts doubts on Obama handling of Afghanistan (not to mention inept mainstream media leaving story to Rolling Stone, which is on a real winning streak).... Important Dexter Filkins [9] follow on his mindblower of a couple weeks back on Karzai trying to strike deal with the Taliban: this has the latter's biggest foes in the country hopping mad ... Great new NYT multimedia [10] project following one U.S. battalion in Afghanistan....
NY Post front page head: "This Sport is Stupid Anyway." The Onion tweets: "Ghana Defeats U.S. Interest in Soccer." When Obama and David Cameron met yesteday they made good on their soccer bet (a tie) by exchanging beers. Here's [11] what they picked. England loses badly to Germany--with USA not there to save them this time.
It used to be said of the Brits, but now, according to Camille Paglia [12] it might now apply to us: "Sorry, no sex, we're American." ...
150 arrested as peaceful Toronto summit [13] protest splinters, turns violent... Gitmo [14] of the same, for years: Don't bet on it closing any time soon. ...Geraldo Rivera [15] equates Michael Hastings, the Rolling Stone scoopster, to al-Qaeda.
FireDogLake: Sunday show lineup [16], including "60 Minutes" and Katrina vandenHeuvel on CNN with Fareed Zakaria.
McCHRYSTAL SHATTERED Atter little made of this before his exit, now McChrystal allies [18] claim Rolling Stone abused "ground rules" for interviewing. And Wash Post lets them hide behind anonymity--on what basis? Total lack of journalism ethics. Rolling Stone ably defends itself. Update: Now ABC [19] pulls same anonymity trick.
WEIGEL OUT OF IT The very valuable Dave Weigel out at Wash Post over caustic private emails leaked from a private list-serv. New wrap-up [20]here. Ezra Klein, also now at the Post, who started the "JournoList" list-serv, now announces he will shut it down, and talks about Weigel here [21]. Which member [22] of the list serv blew whistle on Weigel? At The Atlantic a critique [23] of Wash Post ombud column on all this. Sam Stein at Huff Post has the back story. [24]
KVETCH-22 Jeffrey Goldberg, on the other hand, celebrated [25] Weigel's passing at his Atlantic blog, saying like most young journos today he lacked "toilet training" and wrote stuff off the top of his head. A few hours later, Goldberg apologized for writing such a harsh view off the top of his head. Goldberg reveals himself further as a clown here [26].
DEMENTED Bob Herbert [17] on "nightmare" of Afghanistan: "The American public gave up on the war long ago, and it is not at all clear that President Obama's heart is really in it. For us to even consider several more years of fighting and dying in Afghanistan — at a cost of heaven knows how many more billions of American taxpayer dollars — is demented."

Many Kenyan brands and personalities have embraced the internet in some form. At the Tandaa Symposium earlier this year, Japie Swanepoel, presented findings from a study carried out on companies listed on the Nairobi Stock Exchange and how they promote their brand on the internet. Of the listed companies 22% are on Facebook, 17% on Twitter. Kenyan brands and personalities continue to try to understand how best they can engage with their consumers online.But to be truly innovative, brands must push the envelope and embrace the full potential of social media, beyond Facebook and Twitter.
Stay ahead of the curve. Come and listen to Marvin Tumbo of Socialight Media and Japie Swanepoel of Interactive Concepts speak about the latest tools of social media that can set your brand apart and help you grow your business.
The event is proudly sponsored by Captial FM.
Topics will include:
HTML5: the latest version of the HTML standard offers integrated support for multimedia that allows webpages to come alive and opens up new opportunities for interaction. How can you use HTML5 on your website to engage your users? What web applications can you build around HTML5 to offer your customers greater brand engagement?
Social Gaming: Many Facebook users have spent countless hours on Farmville, Mafia Wars and other social games. Zynga, the company that has created many of the top Facebook games, has lead the way in creating a culture of social gaming. With over two million Kenyans on Facebook, the opportunity for creating local games to engage Kenyans online remains untapped. Brands can also leverage on the culture of social gaming.
Group buying: In less than six months, two group buying companies were started in Kenya. The concept has spread around the world like wildfire. Find out what you need to know about group buying and how the concept can impact sales for your service or product.

CORINTH - The Warrensburg youth football teams met some formidable foes Saturday night under the lights in Corinth.
Whether it's the feeling of performing onstage. or the brilliance of the lights illuminating the team colors against the backdrop of the green, misty grass, playing under the lights is every young players dream. Win or lose, players come away with a feeling of accomplishment, and these tough young kids played to the best of their ability Saturday night.
In their matchup, the junior Burghers came out swinging, throwing for a 20-yard gain on their first offensive play. Quarterback Dan Monthony tallied an impressive four for eight, with two receptions caught by Evan MacDuff and one apiece to Greg Shambo and Mike Baker. Tailback Jacob Johnson rushed for 105 yards against the Tomahawks, but the young Burghers' offensive squad was not able to put points on the board. But their defense did in the form of a safety. The game was a very hard-fought defensive contest.
Regardless of the final score of Corinth 14, Warrensburg, 2, the Burgher players tallied considerable accomplishments. Chris Wilson racked up a sack, Greg Shambo had a fumble recovery and Will Schwarz led the team with 7 tackles. But it was Corinth's defense that secured the win as they kept Warrensburg out of their end zone. Even when the Burghers had two chances at first-and-goal the Tomahawks would not break, stuffing everything that was attempted against them.
The senior Burghers' game was delayed due to thunderstorms in the area, but as soon as the storms passed in the sky, the thunder rolled on the field. Once again it was a defensive game. The Tomahawks put six points on the board in the first quarter but their extra-point kick attempt was denied when it hit the goal post. The next two quarters were scoreless when both defenses buckled down and stopped the opposing offenses in their tracks. Jacob Nemec gave an outstanding defensive performance for the Burghers.

I was just adopted!
Hi! My name is Whiskey , which is short for "Wisconsin", which was my name at the Sacramento SPCA. You see, over 50 of us bunnies were confiscated from a breeder who hadn't given us proper care. At the Sacramento shelter we were all named after states and I got "Wisconsin."
I have to admit that my new name, "Whiskey", at SaveABunny just sounds like a whole lot more fun and fits me because I am a fun guy!
I love to do binkies and race around. You'd never know by watching me that I needed to have one of my eyes removed. When I arrived at The Sacramento SPCA from the breeder, my left eye was very damaged because an injury had gone untreated for too long. My eye was removed and now I am doing GREAT.
It doesn't bother me at all to have one eye and hopefully you won't care either. I act and feel just like a regular bunny!
I am a sweet and active little neutered guy and I am ready to find my forever home. Please meet me soon!

Welcome to the .500 Club
By Ian Hunter
Congratulations to the Toronto Blue Jays to elevating to the .500 club once again, for the first time since April. With a 23-23 record, the Blue Jays are also out of the American League East basement ahead of the New York Yankees. I guess that's not so bad, considering there are only 6 teams in the entire American League with a record above .500. But as we can see from the above photo, I guess being in the .500 club isn't such a bad place to be.

Algonquin Power Buys 10-Megawatt Solar Project in Ontario
Nov. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp., a Canadian electricity provider, agreed to buy a 10-megawatt solar project near Cornwall, Ontario, from EffiSolar Energy Corp.
Algonquin, based in Oakville, Ontario, will begin construction in the second half of 2012 and expects the project to start generating power in early 2013, according to a statement yesterday.
The project will sell electricity to the Ontario Power Authority under a 20-year contract at a feed-in-tariff rate of C$443 ($428) a megawatt-hour. It will generate enough energy to power 1,000 homes.
The project will cost C$45 million to complete including the purchase price, Algonquin said in the statement. The acquisition also includes the rights to buy 10 other solar projects in Ontario with a total capacity of 100 megawatts.

ERIE — Billy Ilko has done it all. When the Erie Tigers needed a linebacker, he played linebacker. You need a defensive end, he can do that too. Fullback, yes. He even will kick the football, be it as a place-kicker, punter or kickoff specialist.
Ilko did it all for Erie in 2009. Well, everything but play quarterback. He can't throw worth a lick. His words, not ours. But you get the point. If Erie's coaches needed somebody to fill in, the 6-foot-2, 225-pound senior was a viable candidate for the job.
"He's a versatile kid, a big kid. He's the first 'big' I've had in the 16 years that I've been at Erie that I wasn't afraid to put at a skill position, at fullback," coach Larry Gartrell said. "Up to this point my fullbacks have been average size. They were tough kids but not that big, bruising fullback like I like to see. He's the first one."
Ilko can run the ball. He also can catch it. And since he did play soccer when he was 6 years old, he can even kick it. Or at least try.
"We were just looking for someone to kick. He's kind of old school, a straight-on kicker," Gartrell said. "Is that his best asset? Probably not. His consistency might be questionable as far as kicking and kicking off, but he was the best that we had. We went with him."
That's not to say that on occasions he wasn't any good at it. Quite the contrary. He could kick the ball into the end zone for a touchback. He's also likely to kick it out of bounds 15 yards.
But at least he kicked it.
This year, the 18-year-old may catch a breather or two. That's because the Tigers, who are moving up from being a Class 2A power in recent years to a member of the 3A Northern Conference alongside perennial state playoff teams Mountain View and Berthoud, have found themselves a punter in Taylor Dudley, a transfer student from Georgia. For once, Ilko may get a rare moment on the sideline. Whatever will he do with his newfound free time?
"Probably scream my head off," he said. "You're always trying to keep the intensity up, keep the poise going."
And while Ilko, who is drawing interest from CSU-Pueblo and Fort Lewis among many colleges, is a lot of things to the Erie football team — including a senior leader — he's not the face of the program. Unlike Alex Ortega, who unquestionably was when the star running back was dashing his way for 1,871 yards and 23 touchdowns in the 2009 season, Ilko said he's just one piece of the puzzle. Besides, he doesn't want to be the face.
"Not at all. I've never really placed myself out on the field. I know I would not do anything without these guys," Ilko said.
As a matter of fact, it was his teammates who pulled Ilko back in this year when he strayed from the Tigers' summer workout program.
"I wanted to be a kid," Ilko said.
But his teammates came calling. They not only needed him, they wanted him to be a part of the team.
"That kind of impacted me," Ilko said. "They still wanted me here. They were like, 'You need to get your butt in gear.' The coaches were seeing it too."
It wasn't like Ilko didn't have plans to come back for his senior season. He was just looking for a break. Then he realized there was nothing he would rather do than play football.
"It's right. It's my home — the football field," Ilko said.
Besides, considering all that he does, would you expect to see him anywhere else?

Rewind to 1996. Quiet storm r&b? The immobile Wu-Tang thump? Timothy Mosley said "No, no, no" like Destiny's Child and offered his playful, syncopated machine funk as the Thesis. Between '96 and '97, tracks like "Hot Like Fire," "Up Jumps Da Boogie," "Luv 2 Luv U," and "The Rain" illustrated his main points: irregular hi-hat patterns, rhythmic hiccups, big Swiss cheese pauses, and noises drawn from video games, mouths, TV shows, anything and everything but the old-school funk records mined for hip-hop's first 15 years.
The high point of this first chapter was also the turning point. Timbaland used 1998's Dr. Dolittle soundtrack as an opportunity for Wu-like maximized dissemination, producing a full third of the album and hitching affiliated tricycles like Playa up to the monster truck of Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody," which took Tim into the Top 10 pop album charts for the first time. "Are You" can be recognized blocks away, from two notes. The rhythm is literally arresting: stopping, starting, and chunking along like a Metallica riff, the vocals submissively Mickey Moused to it. Add the baby noises and a creamy chorus written by Steve "Static" Garrett of Playa (Mosley's best house songwriter) and you've got the top and bottom that broadbanded Timbaland's vision. R&B said yes, yes, yes, and the sweatshop knockoffs started to flow.
Missy's 1999 album Da Real World was Tim's Antithesis, an attempt to stay ahead of biters' jaws. Enacting a scorched-earth policy, Tim got rid of the trademarks but forgot to replace them with anything, producing Da Real Nap. On the other side of prime time, he paired Aaliyah with Nas on "You Won't See Me Tonight." Cognitive dissonance, lame track.
But even Tim's failures bear seeds and show roots. "She's a Bitch" found new life as a dancehall beat, voiced on at least five Jamaican 45s last year. Not a surprisedancehall and Miami bass have always been Tim's secret spices. (Dancehall and Miami bass labels don't generally send out big promo mailings, so the music remains invisible to most critics, which may explain why the red herring of drum and bass keeps being brought up when trying to explain Tim's beats.) The dancehall link is most audible on 1997's "Money Talks" by Lil' Kim and Andrea Martin, a Tim gem. The chorus is lifted from Shabba and Krystal's "Twice My Age," one of the '90s' biggest digital reggae tunes, but not exactly a hip-hop or r&b staple. And many of Tim's sledgehammer kick and snare soundshalf music, half medical procedureare lifted straight from dancehall. (Other than Tim, KRS, and Busta, does anyone in hip-hop even care about dancehall?)
Nineteen ninety-nine is when it became clear that, as with James's brand new bag, Tim's musical thesis was rich enough to sustain a whole field of artists, some of whom execute certain ideas better than the Author himself. Though Missy, Timba's main melodist, is good at writing hooks, she too often stops there, leaving pop workmen like Rodney Jerkins the room to one-up Missy and Tim with through-composed gems like "Say My Name." She'kspere's letter-perfect Timba rhythms and pop-friendly work made the rest of Destiny's Child's The Writing's on the Wall the Aaliyah album Aaliyah didn't make. The Neptunes kept the hectic space bounce alive with their Super Mario shoot-outs and block-sized beats on Kelis's Kaleidoscope, the Missy album Missy should have made. But between Cyptron's pleasantly brutal and She'kspere's cyber-light, the production on TLC's Fan Mail is the highest bidder to date on the Timbaland style. (Extra points for actual concepts go to TLC themselves.)
Perhaps the hip-hop competition scared Tim back into shape. Though a serious chart threat, Swizz Beats's productions sound like a guy road-testing his Casio presets at the Nuremberg Rally. The chart part, though, signifies big to Tim. There's Cash Money's Mannie Fresh, who only bats .300 because he produces 75 albums a year. Even better for Dirty South bounce is Chris "Tricky" Stewart, who took JT Money into brilliantly weird territory on last year's Pimpin On Wax. But I think what lit the match under Timbaland was the return of paterfamilias Dre. Tim's beats and squeals and dropouts are circa now; in 1991, Dre's synths and long cinematic skits dominated hip-hop. Though Dr. Dre2001 doesn't exactly sound like progress, Dre's soigné beats are still louche enough to make the party people say oui oui in a very platinum way.

NCAA not planning to alter its marijuana rule
Washington will allow those at least 21 years old to buy as much as one ounce (28 grams) of marijuana from a licensed retailer. Colorado's law allows possession of an ounce, and permits growing as many as six plants in private, secure areas. Oregon voters rejected a similar measure.
Emmert said Wednesday in an interview at the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce that the NCAA hadn't considered relaxing its rules listing marijuana as a prohibited substance.
"There hasn't been any discussion to that effect, and I would be surprised if there is an interest in doing that," he said. "Our policies are our policies now and I would be surprised if they change,"
NCAA spokesman Erik Christianson said in an email that the state legalization "does not impact the NCAA drug-testing rules because the ban and testing policies are not tied to whether a substance is legal for general population use, but rather whether the substance is considered a threat to student-athletes' health and safety or the integrity of the game."
Marijuana use, which is still a violation of federal law, is allowed for medicinal purposes in a third of U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Washington and Colorado are the first two states to decriminalize its use.
"The Department of Justice's enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act remains unchanged," Jeff Dorschner, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Colorado, said in a statement. "We are reviewing the ballot initiative and have no additional comment at this time."

Badrinath comes up with a match-winning knock
Tamil Nadu made best use of favourable conditions to coast to a seven-wicket victory over Karnataka, and with it, emerged the K.S. Subbaiah Pillai Trophy champion here on Wednesday.
Tamil Nadu (18 points) was barely threatened in this virtual final, while an insipid Karnataka (14 points) slipped to second-spot.
Both teams, however, have gained direct entries to the quarterfinal round of the all-India Vijay Hazare Trophy.
The visitor's first use of overcast conditions proved crucial. The seaming pitch posed a considerable challenge for the Karnataka batsmen, and their task was made harder by Tamil Nadu's best bowler, L. Balaji.
The pacer extracted huge movement off the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium wicket by keeping the ball full, and stunned Karnataka with three crucial middle-order wickets. From 72 for two, the pacer displayed supreme skill to leave the host tottering at 90 for five.
Balaji had K.L. Rahul and Manish Pandey caught-behind — the former edging an outswinger and Pandey leg-glancing an inswinger. Just five balls after Pandey fell, Balaji took out Karun Nair's off-stump with a vicious incoming delivery.
Karnataka did not recover from here — and with C.M. Gautham retiring after a knee injury — closed its innings at 168 for nine in 40.3 overs. Left-arm spinner Rahil Shah contributed with a three-wicket haul as well.
The chase began with a golden duck for M. Vijay, who fell to a questionable LBW decision off R. Vinay Kumar. Vinay, who took a page out of Balaji's book of sticking to the basics of seam bowling, then struck again.
Baba Aparajith glanced one to Robin Uthappa, the reserve wicketkeeper, and with the first two wickets gone for just nine runs, the match briefly hung in the balance.
S. Badrinath and U. Sushil Kumar were put to the test; both survived quite a few tense moments.
Once the sun came out, however, they flourished. The pitch turned flat, and so did the Karnataka bowling. Badrinath (81 n.o.) and Shushil (73) eased their way to a 144-run partnership for the third wicket, and Tamil Nadu soon cantered home with 11.1 overs to spare.
The scores: Karnataka 168 for nine in 40.3 overs (innings closed) (Robin Uthappa 33, Rahil Shah three for 28, L. Balaji three for 39) lost to Tamil Nadu 169 for three in 38.5 overs (S. Badrinath 81 n.o., U. Sushil Kumar 73).
Kerala 160 in 46.4 overs (P.M. Anfal 89, Achutha Rao three for 38) lost to Andhra Pradesh 161 for four in 37 overs (B. Ricky 74 n.o., Jyothi Sai Krishna 61 n.o.).
Goa 289 in 50 overs (Sagun Kamat 112, Keenan Vaz 111, Ravi Kiran five for 53) lost to Hyderabad 290 for nine in 49.4 overs (Ravi Teja 87, Ashish Reddy 62 n.o., Hanuma Vihari 45, H. Gadekar four for 73).
Final standings (points in brackets): 1. Tamil Nadu (18), 2. Karnataka (14), 3. Andhra Pradesh (12), 4. Hyderabad (10), 5. Kerala (6), 6. Goa (0).

I am a Colorado Native with a Music Degree from the University of Denver. I started playing the violin in elementary school and never stopped! I picked up the Viola in college.

As of Spring 2013 I completed two Bachelor of Arts degrees in Music and Psychology.

I was also able to study violin, music performance, and composition with Carlo Feige, Roberto Andreoni, and Simone Fontenelli in Milan, Italy for 3 months during my junior year.

Sunflower Thai Vegetarian RestaurantPosted on 01 / 15 / 2015
Located in downtown and quite nicely done up. Lots of interesting quotes on the walls, lots of space to sit and good vibes. About the colour I was not sure, the walls are painted in a bit sickish green, but that's a matter of taste.
The menu is more about quality and selected taste than quantity (as far as you can say this about a more or less quickly serving Chinese middle-class restaurant). I had a great soy duck with some fried vegetables and rice, that I enjoyed quite a lot.
The staff was very friendly, the prices were absolutely decent and it didn't smell as oily as in other similar places.
Only they should replace the much-thumbed menu cards and the should get some tablecloths since the tables are stained to an extend you cannot wipe it entirely clean anymore. That's really no hard thing to do, but would make a big difference.
Good choice even for a bit more sophisticated standards (regarding the food, not necessarily the cleanliness).
One slightly odd thing happened there to me: At the beginning the waitress explained to me, that "Sunflower" is a vegan restaurant. But since I have studied the menu, I find that hard to believe. Most certainly she meant vegetarian. The odd thing about that is that you wouldn't expect a vegetarian restaurant to confuse these two terms.

UGK - Stop-N-Go
Artist: UGK
Producer: Jazze PhaUnderground Kingz
Avg Rating: 4.7 ( 3 votes )
UGK is running at full speed towards their album drop this December. They've already been stopped and put on hiatus while the duo waited for member Pimp C to be released from prison. Their new single, Stop-N-Go, is a collaboration with Jazza Pha and isn't a sound that most longtime UGK followers will be familiar with after listening [even multiple times]. Regardless, the Houston rap pioneers are back and courtesy of Taco Bell, they are good to go!

Secret Copyright Treaty Timeline Shows Global DMCA 184
from the only-a-matter-of-time dept.
I won't name the manipulators and bribers, but I'll give you a hint: their initials are RIAA and MPAA.
I demand to know why myself, Richard Ingus Alfonzo-Almada and my wife Maria Perez Alfonzo-Almada, are being targeted by this smear campaign! We have done nothing!
I can do this too,
Making haikus about stuff.
It is very fun.
Just a note: I don't have six fingers and I didn't kill your father. Please don't hurt me.
Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Oh, you're probably painting me as a stupid person (for watching Fox News), right?
Nope , just a gullible one.
The USA is for the Corporations and by the Corporations....Anyone saying otherwise is either blind or watches Fox News too much.
I object! Blind people have a physical handicap, not a mental handicap, and should not be lumped together with Fox News viewers!
Logic doesn't apply to the real world. -- Marvin Minsky

Epic Win Photographer
ArabicPrincessModel Female Saint Paul, Minnesota, US
My Website: Esoteric Musings...My MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/tmady
Mayhem # 2560122
About MeI'm often told that I'm a very intense person; yet a part of me is simultaneously quite cognizant of the fact that one should never take themselves or life too seriously. For as intense as I can be, I'm simultaneously very easy-going -- just one example of my many paradoxes which I tend to think of as vibrant colors that make up the exotic palette of who I am.
As far as character traits go, I would describe myself as a very sexy, highly intelligent, usually quite articulate, sophisticated, incredibly adventurous and ambitious woman with a very strong sense of loyalty to those that have earned my affections.
Additionally, I'm real. I'm very authentic, and I'm probably one of the most genuine and sincere people you'll ever meet. I'm an incredibly honest and open person -- traits I find more and more each day aren't as universal as we may sometimes like to believe.
While I'm an extremely sentimental romantic internally and externally, I also have a pretty assertive, dominant, and even (sometimes) combative side, as well. Naturally, I'm an *extremely* outgoing person, tending to be the "life" of any party I'm at, but my "outgoingness" is always coupled with the utmost class. I present myself well, carrying myself as an extremely polite, well-spoken young woman with impeccable manners and an expansive vocabulary.
I'm 100% Palestinian Arab, although I'm American born. I'm no longer Muslim or spiritual in any way; however, my cultural heritage plays an enormous role in my life, whether I necessarily want it to or not.
I'm relatively new to modeling professionally, but I'm not the least bit shy, so I would think that with a little instruction to guide me, I would do quite well. My goal is to gain experience and build a portfolio.
If you'd like to do any erotic photography with me, I insist it being somewhat classy. Now, I *do* have a fetish for large cock, and I really enjoy being photographed worshiping phallic-like objects, but I'm pretty open to ideas.
I've loved practicing yoga for over a decade now (yeah, I know it's cliche, but it is what it is). I'm VERY good at getting into some pretty crazy positions because I'm so flexible.
Additionally, I'm of about average skill on my guitar, I love to read and I'm a skilled creative writer, which is to say that I write copious amounts of material, whether it be on my blog or erotic short stories.
Lastly, I've recently gained a substantial amount of weight; however, I do carry my weight very well, and I have a pretty face until I lose these extra pounds, something I've been working hard at for a few months now. I WILL lose it, slowly, but surely.
Finally, I'm a HUGE music lover with a broad and sophisticated range of tastes. Music has always been a defining feature of my life, and I generally enjoy these genres the most:
Metal (Tool, Faith No More, 30 Seconds to Mars, Type O Negative, etc... metal is probably my favorite genre), hardcore (Deftones, System of a Down, Queens of the Stone Age, etc...), rock, prog rock/metal (Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, etc... words cannot adequately express my love for this sub-genre), indie (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, MGMT, Ravonettes, Arcade Fire, Noisettes, etc...) psychadelic (Can, Silver Apples, Pink Floyd, etc...) punk rock/grunge (Nirvana, Pixies, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, etc...), alternative (311, Eels, Blur, Coldplay, Incubus, Dispatch, Foo Fighters, Garbage, etc...), dubstep (Nero, Datsik, Skrillex, Eskmo, etc...), trance (Andain, Tiesto, BT, M83, etc...) house (Deadmau5 and Kaskade, etc...), jungle, d&b (Pendulum, Evol Intent, Logistics, etc...), trip hop (Tricky, Massive Attack, etc...), electronic (Zero 7, Air, etc...), singer-songwriter (or, as my friend Jeff refers to it, "Angry Lesbian Music") (Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Eva Cassidy, Miss Li, Sia, Bjork, Poe, etc...), industrial (Fear Factory, Nine Inch Nails, etc...), avant garde (think Mr. Bungle and Stolen Babies), hell, ***Mike Patton ANYTHING***, various 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s (The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Elvis Costello [preeminent lyricist], The Beach Boys, Fairport Convention, Eric Clapton, Supertramp, Yes, Led Zeppelin, Queen, one Oingo Boingo album, etc...) , pop/a little bit of modern pop/R&B (Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, M.I.A., Lauryn Hill, etc...), SOME Arabic music (Fairuz, etc...), ONE rap artist (Dessa -- I usually hate rap, but Dessa's different), and two jazz artists (Esperanza Spalding and Flying Lotus). *gasp*

I can see your baby. Hope your midwife confirms that you can fly.
Awww, we nicknamed my daughters scan froggie!! She's 16 weeks! How are you feeling?
Thank you :)
I feel fine, well sort of, still very tired and sick but this has started to get a little better.
The band that is there isn't causing a problem at the moment and is not touching Bean
It could turn out to be there because of the previous surgery I have had, so could be quite harmless, this is what we are hoping for
I have another scan in November when we should find out more.
I don't know if I can fly yet, should be ok, but I am STILL waiting for midwife to look at scan report and let me know.
Pleased to hear little Bean is doing well
FLORIDA VIDEOS HERE.... https://www.youtube.com/user/isafari...?feature=watch
So pleased to hear you and little bean are doing good.
Cue Peter Pan music! :D :D :D That is such great news, Nicki!!!
If you can't find shorts there, wait until you get here. They are practically giving them away with the end of season sales.

Hanging with Harris
Whether he's in South Beach, Aspen, New York, LA or New Orleans, Billy Harris hangs with the best chefs, bartenders and restaurateurs in America.
Chef Marc Vetri - Philadelphia
2 May 12 0
Chef Marc Vetri spent two years in Italy after a stint with Wolfgang Puck in the early 90's. Needless to say, it changed his life and his view of Italian cuisine. At the eponymous Vetri Ristorante in Philadelphia, Marc spends some time with Billy making handmade spaghetti and creating a fabulously simple dish worthy of the most discerning Italian palette.
David Rosoff - Osteria Mozza
25 Jun 12 1
David Rosoff has been called the "Kevin Bacon of the Los Angeles restaurant scene"; he is a prominent figure to say the least. As Managing Partner of Osteria Mozza and its sister restaurants, David manages some of the hottest spots in LA. He is also a quintessential host and has a deep knowledge of Italian wine that he was happy to share with Billy.
Chef Chris DiMinno - Clyde Common - Portland, Oregon
30 Jul 12 0
Chris DiMinno runs the kitchen at Clyde Common in Portland, Oregon. No small task considering that the "European style tavern" is packed during dinner and lunch, every day of the week. Focusing on farm to table dishes created with ingredients sourced as locally as possible, Chris and his team consistently serve up delicious dishes like pappardelle, sausage and leg of rabbit, baby carrots, tarragon, scapes, ricotta salata and off the charts snacks like truffled popcorn. No wonder people keep coming back. Chris was Hanging with Harris.
Gregory Gourdet - Departure - Portland, OR
15 Aug 12 0
Chef Gregory Gourdet heads the kitchen at Departure Restaurant and Lounge located above The Nines Hotel in Portland, Oregon. With one of the best views you can have while dining and drinking in all of Portland, Departure offers up a northwest bounty of flavors married in Asian style cuisine. Gregory was Hanging with Harris.
Gai Gherardi - l.a. Eyeworks
18 Jun 12 0
Since 1979, Gai Gherardi and Barbara McReynolds of l.a. Eyeworks have been framing faces from all walks of life, including the likes of Jodie Foster and Bryan Ferry. l.a. Eyeworks is THE place to frame your face in Los Angeles.
Nona Sivley - LA Market
16 Jul 12 0
Chef Nona Sivley, winner of "Hell's Kitchen" Season 8, is now at the helm at LA Market. Her recipe for edamame takes the simple bar snack to new heights with house-made seasoning. She was hanging with Harris.
The Mixing Room
9 Jul 12 0
Are you a Clipper fan or a Laker fan? At The Mixing Room, they are happy to serve both and they do it with style. Check out Adam mixing up the Laker "Martini" and its rival, the Clipper "Martini" as he is Hanging with Harris.
Natasha Case - Coolhaus
28 May 12 0
Coolhaus is more than an ice cream truck or store front; it is a movement that encompasses art, architecture, design and sustainability. Sure the flavors are delicious (Brown Butter and Candied Bacon!?) but the founders' (Natasha Case and Freya Estreller) philosophy is what has taken them from their mom's kitchen to a national fleet of trucks and 21st century shops with a dedicated and loyal following. Natasha was Hanging with Harris.
Burgers at Umamicatessen with Adam Fleischman
22 May 12 2
Umami Burger. Heard of it? Yeah, you have. Because its burgers are out of this world! Adam Fleischman has taken the original concept, building burgers based on the taste of Umami to the Nth degree, and created Umamicatessen, what a modern deli should be. You can still get great burgers but you can start off with Pig IN a Can or try out the Hoof and Mouth Sandwich.
Megan Logan - Nick and Stef's Steakhouse
4 Jun 12 0
Nick and Stef's Steakhouse has set the standard for Los Angeles steak restaurants. Steaks served at Nick and Stef's are dry-aged for 21-28 days. The dry-aging helps to break down the proteins in the meat resulting in a perfectly tender and flavorful steak (a topping of butter doesn't hurt). Accompanied by delicious cocktails, like their signature Sidecar, Nick and Stef's is the perfect place for a memorable meal.
Danny Fischer - Baby Blues Barbecue
15 May 12 0
Baby Blues Barbecue is unique. Danny Fischer, owner, doesn't specialize in one kind of barbecue. You can grab some Memphis style ribs, slow cooked brisket or pork and top it off we tiger prawns slathered in remoulade and wash it down with some delicious cocktails or a cold beer; not your typical BBQ joint. Danny was Hanging with Harris.
Escalivada - Chef Michael Schlow
8 May 12 0
Nationally renowned chef and restaurateur, Michael Schlow, was hanging with Harris at his Boston restaurant, Tico. Chef Schlow creates his twist on escalivada salad, shows Billy how to make "super mac 'n cheese" and lets Billy pour Cava all over his nice suit. Good times!
Arctic Char - Bryan Voltaggio - Volt Restaurant
23 Oct 12 0
In the sixth season of Top Chef, Bryan Voltaggio finished in second place, to his brother, Michael. Since then, Bryan has gone on to open the James Beard nominated Volt in Frederick, Maryland. In this episode of Hanging with Harris, Bryan demonstrates how to fillet an arctic char as the first step in preparing the fish sous vide. After smoking the fish using fresh hay, the char is plated with, among other things, local pickled ramps, greens and wild huckleberries and topped with sour cream powder. Bryan was hanging with Harris.

29 Oct 14 0
