Its a 2010 27" iMac so i know its only sata II not sata III
The SSD is a corsair force 3, i didnt expect to get the very high speeds obviously but the write speed is actually half of what my standard 1tb HDD is, which comes out around 120mbs and the SSD comes out at around 60mbs, this makes so sense to me...
iMac 27" 2.8Ghz i5 Quad, 12gb, ATI 5750 1Gb
iPad 32Gb, iPod touch 4G 32Gb
iPhone 4s 32GB, Apple TV 2G
Many other Apple bits...

Mac Specs: Too many to list. Typically use an Intel iMac for most of my stuff and a Mini for web video.
On a standard hard drive, when a block of data is marked as erased, it isn't really erased unless it's over written. When a block of data has been marked as erased, it's block identifier is put into a queue, and the next time a write operation is performed the OS will search out the most sequential list of available blocks and use them. If the IDs that had previously been marked as "erased" it means they're available and the OS can over write them. This is why if you want to make sure no one can recover your data you need to zero the drive, because that will overwrite every single sector on a hard drive with binary zeroes.
This is not the case with SSDs. When a block of data is marked as erased, the drive has to first identify the block, then erase it, and THEN it's available for use...it isn't just readily available like it is in a regular hard drive. Typically what seems to happen on the older SSDs is that they actually don't start actually erasing and zeroing any of the blocks of data until they've all been used once. At that point, every time a write operation takes place, it first has to physically erase the block(s) and then write to them. This is time consuming and slows the drive down.
If the drive has real TRIM and/or wear leveling support, what will happen is that as blocks of data become marked as erased, rather than waiting for the drive to cycle through all available blocks, it runs a low priority background process that will "clean" the previously erased blocks with minimal interference to the user. Wear leveling keeps track of the usage of each block to ensure they're all getting used evenly (hence the "leveling" in wear leveling).
As I said, SSDs are still a moving target. TRIM and wear leveling is only supported on Mac OS X in some drives and some OS versions. If they aren't adequately supported, I believe the process is to clone the SSD to a regular hard drive, completely re-initialize the SSD, and then clone it back from the hard drive to the SSD.
I'm going to steer clear of SSDs until all the kinks seem to be worked out. This is one of them, but another one is where an SSD just "gives up the ghost" and seems to do a complete re-initialization on itself for reasons known only to the SSD.
Keep good backups!

You can do a Google search for something like "Mac SSD" and you'll get a myriad of answers. The problems I see with this technology are as follows:
1. It really isn't cross platform supported yet - Most of it (as usual) is targeted for Windoze.
2. In some cases, they assume you can install a new controller in your system that supports their hardware (once again, more of a Windoze thing, unless you have a Mac Pro, and even there the support options are limited)
3. There isn't a lot of documentation available for Apple users regarding 3rd party SSD installations. As usual, Apple likely wants you to have them install one of their approved drives by their people at their facilities and pay their prices ($$$$$$)
There is a freeware, or perhaps I should call it "donationware" application available on the web that inserts kernel extensions to support TRIM, Here's a link for one of them (I have no experience):
Trim Enabler
Another interesting article is this one:
Maintaining SSD drives in OS X | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews
Installing kernel extensions for I/O bound devices, especially with reports of kernel panics (if you look into some of those links above) gives me a very uneasy feeling.
I'll conclude with this remark: SSDs are a moving target.
Good luck, and I hope this is of some value to you.

Adequate coffee filter that works well and is durable. It makes coffee and that's all you need it for. The wings fit my camping mug perfectly but if you have a favorite mug that you cannot separate from, you might want to make sure it'll fit (wings are 4" wide).

G4TV: My Thoughts 102612
Recently the network decided to cancel various shows relating to video games, namely X-Play and Attack of the Show (or AOTS). I had a hunch this would happen, then again it was the very reason why I lost interest in the network several years ago. Because of the change in direction of a channel unsure whom its still trying to appeal, this particular topic will explain my thoughts regarding G4 along with the previous incarnations prior.
It was in the very early 2000s when my local cable provider included a new set of channels. One of them was TechTV. This was the first time I heard about the likes of Adam Sessler, Victor Lucas, Tommy Tallarico, among others. Before I discovered Extended Play, The Electric Playground, etc. I mainly relied on gaming magazines to get me in the know (since I was too stupid enough to not read video game news via the internet at that time, up until 2006-ish). Games such as Ico, Viewtiful Joe, etc. were many that brought to my attention from these shows. It was definitely something else. (I also enjoyed TechTV's other programming too since I have a fondness for technology, past and present.)
I still remember watching the series premiere of X-Play back in 2004. I also remembered it aired at 11:30pm EST (if this isn't the right time, let's say I stayed up late to watch it). When I saw Morgan Webb for the first time, the first thing that came to mind was "Adam and Morgan look like Calvin and Susan!" (Calvin and Hobbes reference for those unaware.) This was also the time I was introduced to G4 since both networks had a brief merger prior to G4 taking over.
The shows I still loved from TechTV were still there along with new shows from G4. I also remember taking E3 seriously thanks to the network. G4 during its heyday was something special. I said to myself "Finally, a TV channel that knows me very well."
That moment however didn't last very long though. Probably around mid-to-late 2005 (or later, can't remember) I began to notice a metamorphosis the network was (and still is) currently in. Some of my favorite programming began to die off left and right. G4, a network once known for its video game-based shows, was now turning into a Spike TV look-a-like. Can't say it was unfortunate, but can't also say I was in favor of it either. It wasn't until afterward that my cable provider had their own metamorphosis since this was around the time digital cable became increasingly popular and dependable. (I may be wrong, perhaps it was popular prior? Memories, how I loathe thee.) Regardless, G4 moved to digital and I had no other channels to relate to my particular leisure.
And to be honest, it wasn't a loss. Right around that time I was getting used to reading video game news via the internet and never went back. It was also around this time my interest in TV programming decreased. Again, not a loss. (Hmm, every time I mention "not a loss" I'm reminded of Elizabeth Bishop's poem One Art. I love that poem- um, anyway…)
Even when G4 was in that state, I barely watched it. And when the switch to digital boomed years later, I practically moved on from G4 and focused my attention on online news articles as well as original webseries I've grown fond of since. I still watch TV here and there but not frequently like I used to. I must be getting old. Not really, but it kinda feels that way. (OKAY OKAY, back to the main topic, sigh…)
The G4 I once remembered was no longer the G4 I once remembered. And despite their dismissal of video game-based programming, my perspective on the network didn't change because I knew there would come a day they'd abandon it altogether. And yet, they're still in a situation on what demographic they're trying to attract. They're still having that identity crisis they've been having for years. No rhyme or rhythm. It remains to be a pseudo-dyslexic mess.
Despite all that is said, for those who enjoyed the programming that is never to be anymore, remember: the art of losing is not hard to master, and none of these will bring disaster. (Here I go with One Art again. Still, I love that poem.)
With that, this concludes my thoughts.

While I was never able to watch either X-Play or AotS, I think certain forms of game media are running aground quicker than others. I, for one, strongly believe that print media, gaming or otherwise is going to run aground the first. Unless, they adapt smartly like Killscreen or something, I think I can see all of them going the EGM-way in the near future.
Gaming media on TV is pretty much the same. Despite the fact that TV is fast gaining a reputation of being a medium capable of providing the same quality of drama and entertainment as movies (post Sopranos), anything related to gaming media on TV are generally the prime candidates for the "sellout" tag and they're treated in the same manner MTV gets treated by most of us. "Too mainstream for their opinion to have any value".

Six Days Shall You Work
Shabbat is important, yet our behavior during the other six days is no less a part of religious life.
By Sam Berrin Shonkoff
We Also Recommend
Provided by American Jewish World Service, pursuing global justice through grassroots change.
The talmudic phrase bitul Torah, literally the "cancellation of Torah," refers to the time one spends occupied with the world at large, away from Jewish text study. Chol, literally "profane," refers to the six days of the week before Shabbat. Such language suggests that religious life takes place only within the temporal boundaries of ritual.
This notion is problematic and spiritually impoverished. Religious life is not a series of proscribed acts separated by spans of mundanity. To the deeply religious person, spiritual life is continuous. Moments of ritual dust off the soul and propel the individual into the following hours with renewed awareness and intention.
Parashat Vayakhel reminds us that religiosity transcends ritual. Moses addresses the whole Israelite community for the first time since his dramatic return from Mount Sinai. He briefly commands the nation to observe Shabbat (Exodus 35:2-3) and then launches into a long, detailed speech about the construction of the Mishkan.
The rest of Parashat Vayakhel, and much of Parshat Pekudei, are devoted to this grand project and document the overwhelming generosity of the Israelite community to complete it. Moses' short instruction about the holy seventh day virtually dissolves in the details of construction–building, melting, welding, and other acts that are forbidden on Shabbat. Just as the vast majority of life occurs outside of ritual acts, the vast majority of this parsahah focuses on the activities of chol.
The Mitzvah to Work
Moses suggests that our work in the world before and after Shabbat is no less important than Shabbat itself. "Six days you shall do work," he commands, "and on the seventh day you shall have a Shabbat of complete rest" (Exodus 35:2).
Thus, the first mitzvah that Moses articulates after Mount Sinai is that we should engage in work for six-sevenths of every week. Insofar as Shabbat is a call for rest on Saturdays, it is also a call for action on all other days. From this perspective, the true observance of Shabbat is an ever-flowing, lifelong affair that usually consists of working.

At times, Daniel Boone looked like it was trying to bail water from a sinking ship with a teaspoon.
And even when Dillon Reppart plugged the hole, it didn't stick.
Sullivan South overcame a 25-point third-quarter deficit, and eventually earned a 69-66 overtime victory over the Trailblazers on Tuesday night at Snyder Gymnasium.
It was a tough early season loss for Boone, which fell to 1-1 in the Big Eight Conference and 5-4 overall. South improved to 1-1, 3-5.
Boone looked the part of a dominant team, quickly building a 17-4 lead. By halftime it was 45-24, and the Trailblazers probably thought they had it in the bag.
"It was a lack of focus," said Boone's Jacob Littleton, who led Boone with 16 points and 12 rebounds. "We came out in the second half not ready to play. If you're not ready to play, any team can beat you no matter who it is."
A pair of old-fashioned three-point plays pushed Boone to a 52-27 advantage, and perhaps heightened its sense of accomplishment. But South wasn't buying.
The Rebels closed the third quarter with a 15-3 run and trailed by 13 entering the fourth quarter.
There were several times where it appeared Boone would get things back together. But poor free throw shooting allowed the Rebels to creep closer. At one point, Boone missed seven of eight free throws.
Meanwhile, South was taking advantage of nearly every opportunity. The Rebels made 17 of 22 tosses from the free throw line in the fourth quarter.
Even the officials seemed to turn against Boone. Ryan Gaitor was whistled for a backcourt foul, then hit with a technical, and was disqualified because it was his fifth personal.
Christian Comsa made three of four free throws to close South to 60-59. After the in-bounds pass, Boone was whistled on a foul from behind as Comsa was simply posting up without the ball. Comsa made two free throws to put South ahead.
South eventually hit two more free throws, and Boone trailed 63-60. However, Reppart gave Boone new life with a drained 25-footer with 16 seconds left.
"Dillon's shot was desperation, and we're proud of him for hitting it," said Littleton. "We should have taken care of business with that second chance, but we didn't.
"We scored only eight points in the fourth quarter. You can't do that in this league. To be where we need to be, we have to put two halves together and take care of the ball."
South wasn't able to get a good shot off at the end of regulation. However, in the overtime, Comsa scored before Littleton put Boone back ahead 66-65 with 3:06 left.
Dalton Light hit a bucket to put South back ahead, and Evan Headrick helped clinch the win with a pair of free throws with 37 seconds left. Boone missed two decent looks from 3-point land in the final seconds.
"I think this is a wake-up call," said Littleton. "We should have blown this team out in the third quarter. Any team in this league can come back and play, as you could see tonight."
Comsa led South with 17 points while Ryan Headrick and Michael Harr totaled 13 apiece.
Boone got 16 points from Gaitor, 12 from Jordan Stout and 12 from Reppart. Stout and Reppart each hit four 3-pointers.

Video:Eating Out in Style on a Budgetwith Jonathon E. Stewart
Eating out doesn't have to cost a fortune, and doesn't have to be fast food, either. Learn how to plan ahead and make the most of your thrifty night out.See Transcript
Transcript:Eating Out in Style on a BudgetEating out is one of life's great pleasures, but can often cost many times what you'd pay to have a similar meal at home. But with just a little planning, you can have all that wonderful ambiance and someone else doing the cooking, even on the tightest of budgets.
How to Save When Dining OutPaying for food at restaurants can be one of the most highly marked up items in your budget. Simple entrees like pasta and rice dishes may be only pennies to make, but can cost several dollars or more at a restaurant. A big key here is to minimize this restaurant mark-up, so you can enjoy being out and about without sweating the check. Remember to keep it fun and enjoyable as you go––think of the following tips as expanding your palate of mealtime options, not limiting what you can or can't pick from a variety of menus.
Tip One: Pick Your Dining Time WiselyGoing out for lunch instead of dinner can net similar or even the exact same food choices for a fraction of the price, and breakfast is even better. Look for early bird or kids' night specials, especially on evenings when dinner patronage is typically lower, like Mondays and Tuesdays. Surprising the family with a pancake breakfast out can be a great way to start of the day. It's not only relatively inexpensive, but it can fill you and your family up early, allowing for more modest meals later in the day.
Tip Two: Do Your ResearchThe internet is full of dining review sites that provide pricing guidelines, as well as complete menus for your perusal. Many sites offer coupons and discounts, which can make an otherwise exorbitant meal more affordable.
All you can eat options are obviously enticing, but just be sure you know ahead of time what you're getting into. Often these kinds of deals feature food that is super-cheap, and not always the most nutritious for you and your family. Remember that bigger, doesn't always mean better.
Tip Three: Mind Your BeveragesAlcohol is the number one check-inflator for out-of-the-house meals, which can literally double your bill if you're not careful. Expensive coffee drinks and even sodas can add up quickly for very little health benefit. Look instead for restaurants that allow you to bring your own, and save more for your meal.
Share a Meal to SaveAnd finally, you might try sharing with your partner or family. Getting a meal of less-expensive appetizers or small plates and eating a little from each is a great way to experience a variety of flavors for a fraction of the price. Splitting one dessert for the table is a nice way to wrap up your meal with something sweet, without blowing up the tab, or your waistline.

An introductory course in secure computing practices!
Whether you're a student or a staff member, life at Trinity College without a personal computer has become almost unthinkable. In student rooms, labs, offices, libraries and countless other campus locations, access to computers is a necessity.
With this increasing reliance on personal computing has also come greater risk to the electronic data, personal, business and academic, that we store and process, from computer exploits and malicious software such as viruses.
Computers in use at Trinity College come in all shapes and sizes, and use just about every operating system available, but whether you're running a desktop, tower or a laptop, Windows, or linux, or Mac OS X, there are a number of basic concepts and practices that you can - and should - adopt and use that will protect your computer and your data.
1. Check that you have a password set on all accounts on your computer.
Blank passwords are the easiest way for an unauthorised individual to gain access to your data. Make sure that all accounts have secure passwords set.
Don't forget to include your local operating system accounts as well as your TCD network account and any accounts on any local information systems in your department.
2. Do not reveal your passwords to anyone else
Your network account and password act as your identity on the Trinity College network and restrict access to your email and other files to you. Guard your passwords and always change them if you suspect that they have become known to others.
All users should note that it is strictly against published College Policy to allow your College accounts and passwords to be used by others.
3. Don't leave a computer you're logged into unattended or unprotected
This is very important not only when using your personal computer in your office or room, but also when you are using public lab computers that are used by many other people, often in rapid succession. If you forget to log off a lab computer after finishing your session, you give the next person at the keyboard an open door into your account which they can use to read your email, personal financial information and other sensitive data. They could even change your password and lock you out of your own account.
All the major operating systems provide the ability to "lock" and password-protect the screen and system so that an unauthorised person with physical access cannot tamper with your computer. It's a good habit to get into to either log out or lock the system every time you get up.
Remember You are responsible for all actions carried out under your sign-on, so sign-off when leaving your computer.
4. Protect against the destruction caused by viruses by installing anti-virus software and keeping it up-to-date.
Viruses are the most common security problem seen in College and the easiest to prevent. Check that you are running the College approved anti-virus software for your area and that it is up-to-date.
5.Scan for adware & spyware programs on your PC
Software applications which advertise products or which send data back to a third party - without asking the user - is called adware or spyware
It is important to scan your computer for this type of software in a similar way to which you scan your computer for viruses.
6.Stay current on updates and security patches for your software.
All software companies are constantly releasing patches and updates to fix security issues, as well as other flaws discovered in their products. These flaws are what virus writers and hackers exploit to gain access to your data. Make sure you stay ahead of the hackers and keep you software up-to-date. A quick and easy way to do this for Microsoft Windows users is to run 'windows update' from the icon on your start menu.
7. Share your Folders, files & Printers securely
You can easily make any folder on your computer available to individuals, groups or to the entire Trinity College Network. Make sure you don't accidentally provide access to more people than you intend!
Always share your files to individuals or groups. Never share your files to 'Everyone' and always limit ' write' access to your shares as shared folders with 'write' access can easily become infected by viruses.
8. Don't open email attachments from unknown sources.
Guard against virus infection from unsolicited or spam emails that may be delivered to your account. If you do not know the sender or if you were not expecting the email then do not open the email or its attachments.
9. Report any Spam you receive to your College email address to reduce Spam in your Mailbox
Spam is unsolicited e-mail on the Internet. It is a form of bulk mail, often sent to a list obtained by companies that specialise in creating e-mail distribution lists. Just as you would throw away junk mail you received in the post you should delete any spam email you receive immediately. Never reply to spam email as this confirms the validity of your email address and may result in you receiving more spam.
10. Devise a backup strategy
A comprehensive backup strategy is the best way to prepare for disaster. Make sure that all your data files are backed up regularly and stored in a secure location.
Users should note that only critical systems are backed up centrally by IS Services. All users are responsible making arrangements for backing up their own data.
11. Don't use it? Turn it off.
All the major operating systems come packaged with all sorts of application and server software and a major problem is that not only do they often turn these services on by default, they also give you very little explanation about what they do and little flexibility with regard to configuration settings. In general, the more services you have running on your computer, the more potential targets you have for hackers to exploit. These services include well-known, standard things like ftp, telnet, Samba, SQL, SMTP (e-mail server), Apache (web server) and others.
When considering what services should be running on your system, here are a few easy rules of thumb:
12. Don't give out your email address or any information regarding your PC to unknown individuals.
Do not provide details of your computer or any of your College account information to other individuals. Help prevent spam email by not giving out our College email address on Internet sites.
13. Don't download suspicious material from the Internet.
Be careful when you are out browsing the Internet; don't give personal details out on public web sites. Be careful when downloading files always scan for viruses.
14. Are you a software pirate? Make sure you only install legally licensed software on your PC
Be conscious of software copyright and under no circumstances make unauthorised copies. Only use software that is approved and has been verified by the College as being virus free.
15. Finished your work? Turn your computer off
Unless you have a special reason to leave your computer on always remember to turn it off when you are not using it. Remember when your computer is connected to the Trinity College Network it is potentially at risk.

Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)
|"Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)"
|Song by Louis Prima
|Jazz, Swing, Big band
|Brunswick, Brunswick 7628
|Louis Prima
|Louis Prima
|Cover versions
"Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)" is a 1936 song written and composed by Louis Prima, who first recorded it with the New Orleans Gang and released it in March 1936 as a 78, Brunswick 7628, with "It's Been So Long" as the B side. It is strongly identified with the Big Band and Swing eras. Though it has lyrics, which Prima wrote, it was performed as an instrumental by Fletcher Henderson and, most famously, by Benny Goodman.
Benny Goodman recording[edit]
On July 6, 1937, "Sing, Sing, Sing" was recorded in Hollywood with Benny Goodman on clarinet; Harry James, Ziggy Elman, and Chris Griffin on trumpets; Red Ballard and Murray McEachern on trombones; Hymie Schertzer and George Koenig on alto saxophones; Art Rollini and Vido Musso on tenor saxophone; Jess Stacy on piano; Allan Reuss on guitar; Harry Goodman on bass; and Gene Krupa on drums. The song was arranged by Jimmy Mundy. Unlike most big band arrangements of that era, limited in length to three minutes so that they could be recorded on one side of a standard 10-inch 78-rpm record, the version which Goodman's band recorded was an extended work. The 1937 recording lasted 8 min 43 seconds, and it took up both sides of a 12-inch 78. At its longest, a live recording (with impromptu solos) was recorded and took 12 min 30 sec. Mundy's arrangement incorporated "Christopher Columbus," a piece written by Chu Berry for the Fletcher Henderson band, as well as Prima's work.
In their 1966 book Hear Me Talkin' To Ya: The Story Of Jazz As Told By The Men Who Made It, music critics Nat Shapiro and Nat Hentoff quote Goodman as saying, "'Sing, Sing, Sing' (which we started doing back at the Palomar on our second trip there in 1936) was a big thing, and no one-nighter was complete without it."[1] Goodman's 1938 Carnegie Hall jazz concert was different from the commercial release and from subsequent performances with the Goodman band. The personnel of the Goodman band for the Carnegie Hall concert were the same as in the 1937 recording session, except Vernon Brown replaced Murray McEachern on trombone, and Babe Russin replaced Vido Musso on tenor sax.
Goodman's solo is more introspective in the Carnegie performance,[citation needed] with a wider range of dynamics and colors, with Krupa playing a pulsating tom-tom accompaniment accented on the third beat of the measure behind BG for the first half of the solo, while Jess Stacy inserts minor-chord punctuations. Goodman's solo evolves to a driving 'four' feel before quietly giving way to Stacy's famous solo, a four-chorus, chromatic impressionistic masterpiece widely analyzed by pianists both jazz and classical. Stacy was quoted as saying he was glad he did not know Goodman was going to let him solo, because then he would have gotten nervous and "screwed it up."[2]

A staple of every Waikiki tourist trap and grim strip-mall Polynesian grill, the mai tai was once the grand kahuna of the tiki bar. Created in Oakland, California, by Vic Bergeron in 1944, the original mai taithe true recipe for which was kept confidential for more than 25 yearswas an elegant blend of aged Jamaican rum, Dutch curacao, French orgeat syrup and fresh-squeezed lime juice, as perfectly balanced and nuanced as any concoction by a modern-day bar chef.

Below is the poem entitled Darkness Within which was written by poet
Strong. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Casey Strong
The crisp-cut, full moon hung high in the sky,
Staring down upon him like a demon eye.
Through the foliage a column of moonbeam fell,
Pinning him in its center as a scream did expel,
Reverberating and echoing like a tolling bell.
Unknowing if it came from him or another,
He stood stock still, repressing a shudder.
At that moment on the outer edges of his sight
City light filtered through the trees like blight on the night,
Neither bettering or worsening his situation, place nor plight.
Forever followed by a malevolent being,
One so inconspicuous, rendering others unseeing.
Fear frozen, he listened, felt and silently stood,
Unable to tread and thread through the wood;
Though, with its open passage, anyone could.
Desolation and depression then danced in his head
Like the dust motes within the moonshine overhead;
Their swirl and twirl did hypnotized and hinder
Bringing forth his dark, death harbinger,
One composed of an inner specter.
Since flight proved futile, his pursuer closer than his heel,
He abruptly decided to embrace the ground and kneel.
Within his consciousness there was a drastic upheaval;
A sudden exhumation of pure, long-dead evil.
The metamorphosis complete; purity lost the fight.
He then strolled down toward the city light.

Written by: Robbie Ettelson
Continuing from Part 1, Trag discusses dealing with depression, mentoring MC's and the origin of his military state of mind.
Robbie: Can you tell me more about the fall-out from your second album?
Tragedy Khadafi: I've been rhyming since I was nine and I started writing songs when I was eleven, so I've been rhyming all my life – and anything I've ever put out, people felt! But now, this second album, nobody's feeling it like that! And it's bothering me – I don't know how to take that, I don't know how to accept that at the time. So I left Atlanta and I decided that I'm going to go back to the mecca – for me. So I go back to the Bridge, and I'm just hanging around the Bridge, vibin' with my old people, old friends, goin' back to the block. In the course of that I started writing more joints, recording, and my views changed in the sense where I felt like, 'I can still drop science – I can still drop knowledge – but maybe it doesn't have to sound so preachy. Maybe it doesn't have to sound so direct'. The game started changing, things started shifting. As far as I'm concerned, I always drop consciousness in my records – even if it's just one line. I always try to find the balance between the streets, music and consciousness, and I try to infuse it all together.
During that process of me redirecting myself, I met Capone – through a mutual friend called Wonderful, aka Billion-Dollar Don. Capone was going to the studio with Wonderful, and I was going into the studio with a dude I was with named Malik, so me and Capone wound-up meeting. They like, 'Yo, he's from Queensbridge too!' I'm like, 'Word?' Now Capone's a little younger than me, so when he was coming-up, I didn't really know him like that. We started vibin' and I told him where I was at in my career. I'm like, 'Yo, look – I'm tryin' to build something new'. So he's like, 'Yo, I spit!' And from that day on, we would just clique-up and hang together every day.
Were you calling yourself Khadafi at that stage?
It was prior to the C-N-N movement. At that time, everyone was like 'Gambino' or whatever, and I wanted to do something different that was closer to my perception of my world and how I see it – so I took on Khadafi. I was already on that Third World type of movement, so when [C-N-N] formed together, I umbrella'd them within that and we just built from there.
That military mind-set seems to be a recurring theme in your music.
I always had a contrast 'military' type of mindset, 'cos my uncle was a Panther, my mother gave out the Panther newspapers for the Panther Party and my step-father was in the army, so I had both sides of militancy…I had the extremes of both around me as an influence.
So once Papi came home from jail to join you and Capone, did he require a lot of coaching to become the Noreaga we hear on The War Report?
Yeah, definitely. At first it was frustrating, because dudes didn't know how to construct a sixteen, they didn't know where to place the hook, so it was more-or-less a molding process for a couple of months. But they caught on fast, I'll give that to 'em. NORE was always the real energetic, hype one of the crew, and at that particular time Capone was just a better lyricist than NORE. He was more verbal, he was more articulate. His words were more intricate than NORE, but NORE was real direct and energetic. He had a lot charisma – to say the least he's animated!
At what stage did you work on the stuff with Imam T.H.U.G.?
Imam had just got out of prison, so I was trying to get him situated help him get a foundation for himself, so in the process of us recording the C-N-N album, me and Imam were recording our own separate joints. We was gonna do an Iron Sheik album – me and Imam was gonna be a group. I heard dudes take the name and run with it, but we introduced that to the game first. That's why we did 'Alluminatti' and 'True Confessions'.
What can you tell me about the Against All Odds project?
I was coming out of the whole movement I created around C-N-N and around 25 Ta Life, so the title was befitting 'cos it was like people would question, 'Yo, can he still do it without the other two? Is he still nice? Is he still verbally ill? Can he hold his own?' 'Cos they were so used to hearing me with my fruit that it was like the public wanted to know: 'Could he do it without his disciples?' With Against All Odds I wanted to make a statement and say, 'Listen – I stand alone, I can stand on my own two. I can do it without them'. It was a real personal album, because at that time I found out that my mother was dying from HIV and AIDS – which she died shortly after – you had songs on there like the title track where I talk about my drug addiction, my struggle through prison and my fight to stay alive and be who I am today and the all the obstacles I had to overcome to be the man I am right now.
You also brought Killa Sha back into the fold on that album.
I don't take anything from myself as a MC, yet at the same time I feel like one of my greatest strengths is that I know how to develop talent. I have an impeccable ear for others, and I know how to look into an artist and bring out the best of him. I know for a fact that certain artists I've done tracks with – they haven't sounded as good as they've sounded in years until they got on a track with me! That's not just something I'm self-appointing myself with – I've heard it over the years from people that are close to the particular artists that I speak of. I always seem to bring-out the rawness in an artist. But I say all that to say I wanted to help develop Killa Sha, and I feel that over the course of time, Sha developed a lot more just working with me. If you listen to the Killa Kids music and you listen to Sha once me and Sha formed together? You can see a major difference in him. You can see a major difference in his delivery, his lyrics in terms of his content, and you can even see a major difference in his confidence level when he spit when he was with me.
It was a great loss for the music when he passed away…
It wasn't just a great loss for you, for me, for Phantom, for those who were real close to him and knew him and actually dealt with him – to know Sha? You had to love Sha if you knew him! I think it's a great loss to the world. I know it's a great loss to his family – his daughter Princess, his grandmother Nana – it's even a great loss to hip-hop, man, 'cos Sha was hip-hop. Sha lived and breathed it, for real. It wasn't like he was doing it to try to get a check or to try to get fame, Sha really lived it all day! Like if Sha wasn't writing rhymes, or making beats, or going to do some radio shit or doing his mixtapes? He would just listen to shit! He would just sit in the crib, burn it down and listen to his records, man. Just go in the zone. Sha lived hip-hop, and it's a great loss for the world that Killa Sha is gone in that sense. I just did a track called 'Narcotic Lines', and in that track I say, 'Killa Sha still on my shoulder/the game ain't over'. It's funny, because I was molding him, but now in his passing, he's with me and he's helping to mold me in the sense where I'm never gonna not gonna give a track that energy, 'cos Sha always brought that energy to a track.
What's the story behind your son having an accident that you described on 'Crying On The Inside'?
That was based on facts. My son Malachi had fell out the window in Queensbridge – while I was watching him. It was three stories! That's pretty high, especially for a two-year old. It was a real traumatic experience – it was on the news and everything. He coulda died, and all he had was a hairline fracture on his head. I went into an extreme depression after that happened, because even though he was alright physically, in my mind I felt like I let my son down and nearly killed my son. I'm a very protective person over my family and loved-ones and friends.
What got you through that period?
It happened in early 2000's, but I've just come out of that during my incarceration. I didn't even realize how much I was under that depression until I was incarcerated and I sat with myself and got time to really look into myself and look into why I did some of the things I did, and why I was doing some of the things I was doing. I just got to a point where I was like, 'I've gotta shake this off, I've gotta come out of this'. Come out of that mind state I was in. I felt like I had a black cloud over me, man. I had to shake that outta my aura. Even though with recently being incarcerated for three years, I still have the confidence I had when I first started. That confidence is unwavering. I don't feel the least bit out-of-sync with myself – I just feel like I'm unstoppable.

"Crying on the Inside" is one of the best rap songs ever made IMO. It's one of those songs that shut the "rap isn't art" people the f up.Comment by Tone 10.11.10 @
Tragedy, one of the greats, point blank. True Confessions STILL gives me the chills to this day. Only thing I was curious to know was his relationship with Cormega, both being cats that got it in in the streets and in the booth. Otherwise, ill interview.Comment by oskamadison 10.11.10 @
This man Tragedy has true positivity in the face of adversity. Trag has an uplifting story. When I heard that CNN album, the raw unkut energy of it was like a howitzer blast. And you could tell that Capone and Norey were totally pushing the limits of their skill. Pure rhyming. A lot of people said it was too simple or disjointed. I always felt it was totally innovative and experimental and unappreciated because it got pigeonholed as "thuggy".
I've always been a fan of Trag. When that "Blood Type" single came out, I was a bit confused because lyrically he was 180 different from "Grand Groove". But now it sounds like he's older, wiser, and ready to make some classic music AGAIN.
Yes, one of the greats.Comment by eric nord 10.12.10 @
One of the Best! And a down to earth guy who does not act like he is a super hero or anything. He even answered an email by me back in 2001 when I was laying fucked up in Hospital having cancer, in which I told him that his Music really helped me staying strong. He wished me health and luck, which meant a lot to me. Thanks Tragedy!Comment by Thorsten 10.12.10 @
TRAGEDY & G RAP = queens best!!!!! i really hope Tragedy's new music will drop soon!!! i'll most def show support just like over the last 20 years!!! much love to Tragedy Khadafi!!!Comment by DaGrimeyWay 10.12.10 @

Dope interview, I don't think I realized him and Sha ran together until now. I looked everywhere for that Iron Sheik album, shit is hard to find. Its definitely one I want in my catalog though.Comment by gstatty 10.15.10 @
Yo Trag, this interview is great. I've been waiting for this a long time now. It's definitely hard to believe that Sha is gone, he was going through his own struggles with his health but the fact remains that he poured everything he had into hip hop….and all his family, friends, and fans love him for that. I know I'll NEVER forget his verse from that Star Wars track. Between you, Sha, and Imam…y'all have given us all a lot of raw hip hop and I just wanna say thank you.
Gonna go bump Thug Matrix right now
PeaceComment by Mayhem 10.21.10 @
HIP HOP is a way of life, when you live this, you're gonna breathe it and you gonna cee it threw the music…..shout out to imam thug, CNN, lots of projects being worked on, stay tuned!!!!Comment by Agent Guevara 10.24.10 @

Since hearing him in 90 been a fan, he schooled many mans who come in the game since
Just hope he stays out of jail this time
TRAG IS THE MAHDI OF QUEENSBRIDGE HIP HOP I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY THE GOD WAS LOCKED DOWN FOR.Comment by bLACK aSIATIC 12.11.10 @
Being a young buck at that time, I didn't know Trag that well as an artist; I knew him as a person. I did some artwork for him when he was running with Stretch (not mentioned in the article?) Be great to see the G-O-D one of these days. He actually blessed me with the name Jimmy Fingers "cause your fingers is all over my artwork."Comment by jimmyfingers 02.22.11 @

I have just acquired an iMac. I am trying to send emails through outlook express as i was used to this with Windows. I use it for my business and need to have a read/delivery receipt but can't see how to do this. Please advise!
Welcome to the Mac Forums.
There is no "Outlook Express" mail application on your iMac unless you're running Windows XP from a Boot Camp dual boot or from a virtual machine. And since Microsoft no longer provides OE as a mail and news application, I'm not sure what you're referring to? Tell us which mail application you're using on your iMac and we can go from there....
Just in case you were referring to Mac Mail and not Outlook Express, read through the following article on how to request a mail delivery receipt. LINK
Sorry, I'm using Microsoft Outlook for emails.

designed by Wolfgang Kramer
reviewed by Stuart Dagger
Der Markt von Alturien is the first of a planned series of 5 or 6 games set in the fictional, medieval state of Alturien. The second, Die Hauptstadt von Alturien, is due for release in the Autumn. A major series from a major designer: it sounds at first like an exciting prospect, but the gilt disappears somewhat when you read the small print and discover that these first two games are in fact re-treads. Der Markt (Market) is a revised version of Kramer's 1989 game City, and Die Hauptstadt (Capital City) one of his 1994 game Big Boss.
The board for this one shows the market square of a medieval city. It is marked out with pitches for the market stalls and there are pathways running between the rows. Players create their retail empire by claiming pitches and putting on them stalls of various sizes. Money comes from a set of customers who move round by die roll and shop where they stop. The money a player earns is used to expand the business, to make various other investments and to buy ``Prestige Cards''. Victory is won by acquiring a pre-set number of these cards.
Each player has a set of 12 ``trading houses'' and at the start of the game places 4 of them on to vacant lots to give an initial set of 4 ``businesses''. Certain locations are ``special'' and bring in more income, but at this stage you are only allowed to claim one of these. The other thing you will be paying attention to during the set-up is the division of the market into six coloured areas. Each area has a ``market leader'' card which goes to the player with the most trading houses in the area and which also provides an income boost.
The other part of the set-up sees the placing of the six customers. These are stand-up figures and have a facing which will determine their direction of movement. They also have wealth ratings - one 3, two 2s and three 1s - which help decide how much they spend each time they shop. There is a seventh character, the thief, who is used to target other players' businesses, but he enters later in the game, after players have become sufficiently well established to be able to absorb the hits.
Your turn begins with the roll of a die. It is a standard 6-sided die, but with the `6' replaced by a `1-3'. You then select one of the figures and move him forward by this number of spaces. If his move ends opposite a market stall, he will spend money there. The amount spent is his wealth rating times the number of trading houses on the site, with a further bonus of 2 if the stall holder is the market leader for this area. Number of trading houses? This a point where you have to avert your eyes from the theme. The trading houses stack and can be used to create structures up to 4 storeys high. No, I've never seen a 4-storey market stall either, but the mechanism is needed to make the game interesting and so you just have to accept that stuff happens when you take an old game and give it a not necessarily appropriate respray. Think of it as a ``big stall''.
Normally a customer will only make purchases if you have moved him this turn. The exception is the ``special locations''. If a customer is standing outside one of your special-location businesses at the start of your turn, he will shop there provided you don't move him. This means that on good turns you will have more than one source of income.
In the final part of your turn you have the option of making an investment. This could be opening a new business by placing a trading house on a vacant site, expanding an existing business by building an extra storey, moving a trading house from one location to another, buying an ``Investment Card'' (advance game only) or buying a Prestige Card. All of these bar the last one will increase your chances of making money, but it is the number of Prestige Cards you have at the end of the game that will really matter. The rest is just a means to an end. So early in the game your main concern will be with bettering your financial prospects and trying to gain as many of the Market Leader cards as you can, but once people start buying Prestige Cards, you can't afford to be left behind. You can only make one investment per turn and so hanging back in the race and then making a sprint from behind isn't a viable strategy.
The thief acts like a customer with a wealth rating of -2 and so with him the aim is to get him to stop outside someone else's stall, preferably a nice big, multi-storey one. The money he steals goes to the player who moved him, and as a further incentive to move him, a player who does so at least once in the course of their turn gets a further die roll, thus avoiding the ``Shall I take the big income myself by moving the Grandee or damage the leader by moving the thief?'' dilemma. In this game you can do both. A further nice touch, of the sort you get from a designer as skilled as Kramer, is an anti-bullying device in the shape of the City Watch. This is a card that gives you immunity from the thief. The card rests with the last player to be robbed, unless that player was still the richest (counted on money + assets) after the robbery.
The aim is to get three Prestige Cards and as soon as one player achieves this, you are in the last round, which is completed so as to give everyone the same number of turns. If more than one player achieves the target, cash in hand splits the tie.
I have never played the original, but I'm told by Dale Yu, who has, that the changes that have been made, though all improvements, are not major. So what we have here is a repainted and slightly revised version of an 18 year-old game that even then would have been seen as a bit run-of-the-mill and not one of the designer's best. That being the case, you can't expect any radically new mechanisms, since any idea that was innovative when the original was published will have been used again in games that came later. The inevitable result of this is that, although the game plays well enough, it feels a bit old-fashioned.
Der Markt von Alturien is not by any means a bad game, but even for those like me who never saw the original, it is liable to seem workmanlike rather than inspired. Dale's verdict was that it is one of those games that is good for 2 or 3 plays but which will then be forgotten, and I agree.

Stumbling through parenthood with Nicki Britton and Andrew Dansby
Monthly Archive for April, 2009
A case of tattling and other mischief
This is a story about parents being played by a two-year-old. Andrew took the Nut upstairs to get her ready for bed. I listened on the monitor as he read her half a dozen books. When I headed upstairs to say goodnight and sing a song, I found Peanut sitting on her bed holding a […] [Read More]
Flies in the buttermilk and other mistakes
Grammy taught the Nut to sing Skip to My Lou, but the only part that seems to stick in her little noggin is the lyric about the flies in the buttermilk. Pop thought he'd unstick her repeat button by playing her the full song, as recorded by Pete Seeger. It didn't work, because she sings […] [Read More]
Size (Peanut's) and other anxieties
Because we're in Houston and it's nearly May, we did a wardrobe swap recently. The long sleeved shirts in the dresser were retired to a winter basket and replaced by summer shirts. I had Peanut try on a few because they were listed as 18 month or 2T and there was no point in using […] [Read More]
Birthdays and other sweet happenings
This is probably a little sugary, but it's the story of what might be the best birthday ever. I woke up tired because little Peanut has had a cold and coughed herself awake throughout the night. I realized Saturday morning she'd decided to share that cold with me. I was also having back spasms from […] [Read More]
Familiarity and other things that generate contempt
We don't really compare notes with enough people. Is everyone's kid break-not-bend willful? Or just Nene's child? Because I was a yield-before-conflict kid (I think . . . Gran?). Arguments with Peanut seem to have a single conclusion these days: Us getting all tough and offering ultimatums that we wish not to enforce but must […] [Read More]
Rhymes about rabbits and other firsts
The Nut may have written her first poem tonight. We were driving home from work. She was sing-songing to a stuffed rabbit. Bunny, bunny, bunny I'm your honey Silly rabbit bunny I'm your honey So does this mean a career as a poet? Or a rapper? [Read More]

The Envy Spectre series is better built than even the standard Envy line of HP's laptops. The chassis is a combination of aluminum, magnesium, and plastic, but the screen, keyboard tray, and palm rest are all topped in glass. Reviews point out that this actually makes the computer feel sturdier, with all-around less flex and no cheap feeling areas.

Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
For a rookie who was projected to be a guard, KO has done very well. Unlike Oher, he has the size and length to go along with a pretty nice skill set of athleticism. A lot of folks didn't think he would have the footwork to hang on the perimeter and even though he hasn't been perfect, I'd argue that he has exceeded a lot of people's expectations as an OT.
I'm glad they are giving him reps at LT. If anything, they're getting a good look at him as a LT in practice now to see where he needs improvement for next year (assuming they want him to be the LT).Milk is for babies. When you grow up, you have to drink beer.

Cristina Di Lorenzo turned it around quickly and grabbed a singles point for the Musketeers.
March 27, 2014
CINCINNATI - The women's tennis team was able to regroup and rally back after dropping a tough doubles point to beat Cincinnati, 5-2, on Wednesday at Western Tennis and Fitness Club.
At the No. 1 spot, Alex Brinker and Sydney Liggins dropped the first doubles match to Caitlin O'Gara and Kelly Poggensee-Wei, 8-4. Seniors Allyson Westling and Andrea Wolf won their match, 8-6, over Katya Bure and Carly Wilson. Being tied at 1-1, Cristina Di Lorenzo and Daniella Patton lost a hotly contested match to Lauren Bellinger and Carly Wilson, 8-7 (3).
Di Lorenzo turned the match around quickly grabbing the first singles win over O'Gara, 6-0, 6-4. Cincinnati responded quickly with Ashleigh Witt beating Brinker, 6-4, 6-3. Liggins tied the score with a win over Poggensee-Wei, 6-1, 7-5.
The Musketeers were then able to cruise their way to victory with wins from Patton, Wolf and Lizzie Oosterbaan. Patton, at No. 4 spot, defeated her opponent, 6-3, 6-2. Wolf did the same after dropping her first set, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. Oosterbaan rounded out the match beating Hannah Wille, 6-2, 6-4, giving Xavier the match, 5-2.
"Our girls really responded exceptionally in singles after losing a very closely contested doubles point where we had some chances to get the early lead," head coach Eric Toth. "Coming back the way we did against one of your rivals can only help us moving forward."
Xavier heads to Milwaukee, Wis. for its second BIG EAST dual of the season against the Golden Eagles of Marquette Saturday, March 29. The match will begin at 12 CST.

InDesign FX is a collection of self-contained effects projects designed to be completed in ten minutes or less. Taught by expert Mike Rankin, the series explores every aspect of InDesign's graphic effects capabilities through real-world examples, all without relying on Photoshop or Illustrator. The intent is to reveal the quick, practical, and sometimes surprising application of InDesign effects to creative projects.
Hi, I am Mike Rankin, and welcome to InDesign FX. In this week's effect, we are going to take a look at how to overcome the fact that you can only apply one stroke to an object in InDesign. If I could apply multiple strokes to objects in InDesign, we could do all kinds of complex layered effects easily. Unfortunately, in InDesign one stroke is all you get. So we have to use multiple copies of an object to create a layered effect. It's not elegant, but you can do it, and it does look cool in the end. So here are a couple of examples where I've created layered or stacked text effects by creating several copies of an object, each with its own Drop Shadow.
So let's re-create these. I am going to go to the next page of my document. I'll take my Type tool and drag out a huge text frame. I'll type the word Layers, select it and press Command+6 or Ctrl+6 to highlight the text controls in the Control panel. I'll make it large, 300 points, and center it. I am also going to track it out a bit to give myself some extra space in between the letter shapes. I will track it to 25, take my Selection tool, and in the Swatches panel I will target the text and fill it with this Pastel Violet Magenta color.
I will change the Tint down to 33%, so it's a very light tint of that magenta color. I will zoom out a little bit to give myself some more room, move it over, and let's give it a Drop Shadow. Target my effects, Drop Shadow, I will change the Distance to 0 and make the Size pretty small, just 2 pixels. I want a really small Drop Shadow just to give me a really thin layered effect here. I will click OK.
And now I want to make an extra copy of this text. So I will copy it and paste it in place by pressing Command+Shift+Option+V or Ctrl+Shift+Alt+V on the PC. I will go back to the Swatches panel, target the text and I will give it a stroke, that same Pastel Violet Magenta. But instead, I want a Tint of 66%, and I want a Stroke of 5 points. I am going to send this to the back so it's behind the original text.
Now I am going to copy again, paste in place again, again select my text controls, and this time I will give the stroke a Tint of 100%, and we will make it 10 points, and again send it to the back. So there is that nice layered effect with three separate drop shadows and three separate tints on the text. Now let's try something a little bit more ambitious. I will create a new page by pressing Command+Shift+P or Ctrl+Shift+P.
Again, take my Type tool, drag out a huge text frame, and I will type the word Stacks now. Select it and center it, I will press Command+6 or Ctrl+6, and I want a really thin font for this one because I am going to have several layers, each one progressively thicker underneath this original layer, so a super-thin font. I am going to choose Helvetica Neue UltraLight. I am going to make it huge, 300 points, switch to my Selection tool, target my Text fill and reduce the Tint down to 10% black.
I am going to convert this to outlines by pressing Command+Shift+O, or Ctrl+Shift+O on the PC, and I am going to give it a Drop Shadow, so I will use my Effects controls in the Control panel, Drop Shadow, I am going to change the Blending mode to Color Burn, reduce the Opacity down to 30%, set the Distance to 0 so the shadow is right behind the text, and increase its size to 10 pixels and click OK. Now I am going to copy this, paste it in place, I am going to give it a stroke of Black 40%, I will make the Width of the stroke 10 points up in the Control panel, and I will send it to the back.
With it still selected, I will copy and paste it in place, and for this stroke I'll increase the Tint to 60% and make it 20 points. I'll hold down the Shift key on the keyboard and just tap the Up Arrow, and again, I will send this to the back, I will press Command+Shift+Left Bracket or Ctrl+Shift+Left Bracket, and I will repeat that same process again. Copy the object, paste it in place, I will increase the Tint, this time to 80%, increase the width of the stroke to 30 points, and send it to the back, and you can see how we build up these progressive layers.
Now if I want to add some color to this, I can do it really easily by creating a separate color object. So I still have the largest object selected right now. I am going to copy it and paste it in place. Now it's sitting on top of all the others. I am going to remove the Drop Shadow just by clicking on the Drop Shadow button in the Control panel, and I am going to change this Stroke color from Black to RGB Cyan. In the Effects panel, I will change the Blending mode from Normal to Color. And now that color is applied to all the objects underneath.
So if I wanted to change the color, I can just pick a different swatch, so I can make them Green or Magenta, or if I like the Blue, I could stick with that. Now there is one more thing you can do to give this some extra pop and that's to add a separate set of objects with drop shadows on top of the color, because right now everything is going to get the Cyan color, but if you want real gray drop shadows, you need to put them on top of the Cyan object. What I will do now is go to the Layers panel, tip open Layer 1, and I can see which object I have selected here.
I am going to lock that object, so I have locked the color object, I will click and drag to select all the others, copy them, and paste them in place. So now they are on top of that color object. In the Swatches panel I will set the stroke of all these objects to Paper, and I will set the fill of these objects to Paper. In the Effects panel I'll set them all to Multiply. I'll deselect and zoom in a bit so we can see better. So now I have these nice strong shadows on top of the Cyan object.
And if you want to change the Opacity of the shadows, you can select one of the objects and make it even more prominent just to give it an extra 3D feel. In this video we saw how to overcome InDesign's limit of one stroke per object by stacking several copies of an object each with its own Drop Shadow, and we made some nice layered text effects with a lot of pop and things that are easily recolored as well. I am Mike Rankin, and I'll be back in two weeks. Thanks for watching.

Liz Smith: Who Will Take A "Chance" in Nicole Kidman's "Sweet Bird"?
Raquel Welch–stunning at 70…Jane Lynch, the fabulous Emmy hostess with the mostess
"YOU WILL have only one job, as my butler or my lover, as I see fit. Soon, you will be through with your good looks and I will be through with you. And that is the truth, are you ready to face the truth?"
That was Geraldine Page lacing into Paul Newman in the 1962 screen adaptation of Tennessee Williams' "Sweet Bird of Youth."
Miss Paige's performance, which she had originated on Broadway, has always been the one to beat—and no one ever really has. Not even Irene Worth, who won a Tony Award for the 1975 revival. Not even the great Lauren Bacall, who starred in the first London production, in 1985. (Elizabeth Ashley came pretty close, in a production of the play done some years back in Washington; it never made to Broadway, unfortunately. Of Elizabeth Taylor's TV version, well…it had its moments. )
Now Nicole Kidman, an actress determined to stretch herself to the limits, has taken on the role of aging screen star Alexandra Del Lago, desperately fleeing her disastrous comeback. She picks up an opportunistic, blackmailing hustler during her journey across the country—with a little hashish and drink on the side. Kidman, who is going to have to act as she's never acted before, opens in the play later this year, on Broadway. It will be directed by David Cromer and produced by Scott Rudin.
This is the good news. The bad news is that James Franco, who had been announced to co-star opposite Nicole as Chance Wayne, has dropped out. Franco, who conveys many of the qualities so vital to a Tennessee Williams character—sex appeal, a certain ambiguity, tough, tender, coarse and sensitive—would have been perfect.
Oh, well. They say Mr. Franco's studies at Yale came first. Miss Kidman remains on board. As for re-casting? If he could manage a rougher, more complex vibe, there's Ryan Reynolds, who has the required good looks, and is the right age. (He is best known for his romantic comedies, such as "The Proposal" with Sandra Bullock, and the recent "Green Lantern.")
Or, if they want to get adventurous, how about former "Third Rock From the Sun" child star, Joseph Gordon-Levitt? He is not traditionally leading-mannish, but he is a brilliant young actor with an amazing range—"500 Days of Summer," "Inception"– and many do find him very sexy. (He's on the thin side, but that's what trainers are for.)
Whoever is chosen to be used and abused by Tennessee's raging lady, I am very much looking forward to seeing Miss Kidman in this totally uncharacteristic role.

SO THERE she is on the cover of AARP—Miss Raquel Welch, age 70. Yes, the girl in the fur bikini, Loana, Queen of the Shell People in "One Million Years B.C." is 70 years old.
Miss Welch looks like one million bucks on the cover—strong, voluptuous, and still rocking a big mane of shoulder-length hair. ("They" say after a certain age women should not wear their hair so long. Often, especially with women who diet themselves into wraiths, this is true. But Welch has kept her face and body fulsome, nicely balancing her amber waves.)
Inside, Raquel speaks of her struggles in the industry…the oddity (in the 1960's) of being a young sex-symbol who was also a mother of two children—children her studio preferred she not mention too much…issues of aging and image. Of the latter, she confesses at one point to trying to emulate Mary Tyler Moore: "I flipped my hair and put a bow in it—to make myself look less exotic. But at some point I said, 'I'm not going to fight it. This is what makes me different.'" She also laughs to recall when she'd try to "go up for lovely romantic parts, and they'd say 'Oh, no, you look so European. What are you, anyway?' I'd say 'Well, my father is from Bolivia.' 'Bolivia! Where is that?'"
Of Lindsay Lohan, Raquel observes: "I know she misbehaves terribly, but sometimes it just seems like its open season on her."
I got my biggest laugh when Raquel recalled the disastrous filming of "Myra Breckenridge." She says, "I'd go to the bathroom and cry. John Huston knocked one time and said, 'Now, Raquel what seems to be the problem?' And I said, 'John, I'm worried we're going to make a bad movie!'"
Well, they did a movie that was considered a horror at the time, but "Myra" has been re-evaluated over the years. (Camille Paglia thinks it is a work of genius!) Raquel herself has come around to being rather proud of it, in many ways.
Now, you guys in Hollywood. There have to be roles for gorgeous, sexy seventy-year old Bolivian actresses. (Whose American mother can date her ancestors back to the Mayflower!) Just give it a moment of thought.

I DON'T know about you or if the charming advertisement for Jane "Glee" Lynch as host of the Emmy Awards has appeared in your publications, but she is a wonder , forming her own chorus line, tap dancing, clutching the Emmy she won last year and exuding good will in all her tuxedoed glory. Nothing like this has happened since Ellen DeGeneres came out. And today the level of intelligence, tolerance and acceptance is so much better in spite of evangelicals and The Tea Party.
You can download your at home ballot for this show on the Emmys website. Jane Lynch will appear dancing and handling the mic in this event which happens on Fox, Sunday, September 18 on Fox.
