The Conan O'Brien Drama Needs to End, Please
Conan O'Brien told the world that he felt betrayed by NBC and Jay Leno on '60 Minutes.' David Letterman insults Leno every chance his gets these days, and Jay himself gave a mediocre performance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner -- giving his many adversaries more ammunition to fire at him.
But here's the thing. Conan has a new show (and $32 million to boot), and Leno is once again beating Letterman in the ratings. So why is this still a thing? The Girls on Pop have no idea, and they wish it would stop.
Watch the Ladies Rant Below!

40 million walk away money in his pocket for getting his show canceled and he is till crying. What does Conan expect?. If you and I went for a job and they offered it to me am I suppose to say, no thanks give it to the other guy. What everyone fails to admit is that both Lenos show at 10 and Conan at 1130 didnt work. NBC is sittling back letting these two guys get the headlines so they dont look bad. Somebodys got to wake up.

First of all Conan isn't whining. He is doing interviews to promote his new show and he has every right to answer questions about his departure from the Tonight Show because people are still interested in hearing his side. Why else would journalists keep asking him about it?

I don't understand why everybody is saying he needs to let it go, I really don't. Leno went on Oprah and whined for an hour. Zucker released statements basically blaming Conan for anything. Conan hasn't said a word about it until that interview. He deserved the right to tell his side of the story too. Now they can put it to bed. However, if NBC and Leno did it, he deserved his chance too.

My only question reguarding late night TV is, who's nephew is Jimmy Fallon?
This witless dupe should be asking people if they want fries with their burger.

Letterman was ok early on . Now he is a erk . He isnt even funny . The best way to get this trash to go away is dont watch it .
My god. I just realized . No Sandra Bullock story today

Hate the guy and he looks like me!

# 1 - Letterman is a lowlife, based on his own admissions & the every bit of his humor is mean-spirited - kind of like a high school bully that you knew you eventually had to smack in the mouth. # 2 - Conan seems like a decent guy, but for anyone over 20 he is not funny & the overwhelming majority of the viewers tuned him out after the first few weeks. # 3 - The minute Leno was back on the air he went right back to kicking Letterman's butt, just like before, so aren't Leterman's rants ridiculously self-serving?

Yes , he is a Jerk

Ladies ???? .... Shut the F up

I agree. Conan had 6 months and his ratings were awful. Letterman is upset, as he dominated Conan and is now losing again to Jay. Last I looked, Conan came in and bumped George Lopez to a later time slot on his new network. I thought Conan made the powerplay to secure the tonight show and signed a contract years in advance of his move to take Jay's place. Was Jay sitting at the table when Conan signed that contract? I think not. Quit crying Conan and move on.

The Bones series is such a horrible TV series. Why would they take "Without a Trace" off and force feed an ersatz to a gullible TV audience? Inconceivable!
- Tuesday 04 MayBy elaine
so sick of conan crying. the exec did the same thing to leno when they put conan in his place. he got an opportunity that many dont and made millions. stop your crying and move on.
- Tuesday 04 MayBy Fox
It's articles like this why there is still drama anyways. This "drama" will end when crappy journalists like these people quit milking it.
- Tuesday 04 MayBy Patty
Letterman and Conan need to shut the hell up. Jay is back and beating Letterman in the ratings. Letterman is so jealous of Jay until it is sickening. Love Jay. He is the best. Get over it Conan and Letterman.
- Tuesday 04 MayBy Adrienne
Does Conan think everyone took a mental enema and forgot that he told NBC 6 years ago that if he didn't get the Tonight Show in 5 years he was leaving the network???? The Tonight Show was at the top of the ratings and NBC told Jay that they were giving the show to Conan in 2009. Conan had the option to stay with the Tonight Show at a later time-he refused-Thank God!! Now the Tonight Show is back in the #1 slot all thanks to Jay. I don't know how many people get to walk away from their jobs with millions in their pockets. Conan-you're just not funny and your ratings proved it.

SHUT THE HECK UP already, with this whining over "poor Conan".
He got millions to leave THE TONIGHT SHOW and will rake in The Bucks with his new show. Meanwhile, poor saps like me are losing their homes with no place to go. All this hoopla over a "tv star" and a "show"! Makes me sick.
- Tuesday 04 MayBy jlw
how about the media letting go of the story???? duh
- Tuesday 04 MayBy Dottie Ann
That beard reminds me of AL Gore when he had a meltdown over chads. Conan...grow up and stop whining. Get a life of you own, and stop leaning all over Leno and NBC to keep your memory alive. If your show was any good, you'd still be on.

The Florida Department of Health continues enhanced surveillance and outreach to physicians, hospitals and other health care professionals. The surveillance system, consisting of sentinel physicians reporting influenza activity, DOH laboratories receiving specimens from physicians and hospitals and our ability to monitor emergency room cases and over-the-counter drug sales is fully operational. A response plan has been activated and state officials ready to respond to any confirmed cases of swine flu.
UPDATE: The Florida Highway Patrol has released a report indicating that Robin Layerd Lingo had not been drinking at the time of the accident on April 15.
A Florida Highway Patrol report stated that an accident in Chattahoochee claimed the life of a Quincy resident on the afternoon of April 15.
At about 3:30, Robin Layerd Lingo and her 10-year-old son, Zackery, were headed westbound on U.S. Highway 90, near Lonesome Pine Road.
Weather permitting, beginning in the inside lanes of U.S. Highway 90, construction crews from CW Roberts Contracting will begin paving the four-lane section between State Road 267 and the courthouse today. Work will take place seven nights a week, from 6 p.m. until 8 a.m., over the next 2-3 weeks.
Motorists are reminded to use caution while traveling through the construction zone, speeding violation double when workers are present.
On the 10-year anniversary of the Columbine school shooting, a 16-year-old East Gadsden High School student was arrested Monday morning and charged with possession of a firearm on a school campus and possession of a concealed weapon. The .22 caliber handgun was found in the student's backpack but he had not taken it out.
The student's identity was not released by press time by the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office.
Forty-five other students were sent home as a precaution.
Gadsden County, said new county administrator Johnny D. Williams, is just the kind of place he likes and he wants to stay here for a long time.
"I'm a manager. That's what I do. It's my profession just as if I were an accountant," he said.
Quincy city officials knew there were some pipes in the city that were too small to carry water from the kind of rain that fell April 2. They also knew there would be some flooding, because there is a history of flood-prone areas in the city.
On Tuesday night, during the regular meeting of the city commission, several residents explained the flooding and erosion they experienced during and after the rains.
A local group of residents is threatening to file a class action lawsuit against the Gadsden County Board of Commissioners and Gadsden Hospital Inc. if the hospital isn't opened as the 25-bed facility they feel the citizens in the county were promised when they voted for and passed the half-cent sales tax last August.
The first public workshop to discuss a regional mobility plan was held last week at East Gadsden High School. The workshop was designed to get input from the public on the short- and long-range plans to meet transportation needs for the county and to discuss how the county's needs fit into regional needs.
"At one time we talked about a 20-year plan, now that has moved to a 50-year plan," said Harry D. Reed III, executive director of the Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency.
House Bill 873, which authorizes the state Agency for Health Care Administration to extend the inactive license for 12 months to Gadsden County Hospital, passed in the Florida House of Representatives last Thursday. The bill, introduced by Rep. Alan Williams, passed by a vote of 114-1 and is now in the Senate and, if it passes there, will be sent to Gov. Charlie Crist for his signature.
Gadsden County has adopted guidelines that will be used to abate nuisances that are both structural and non-structural.
Howard Douglas, director of growth management, said the intent is to inform the public of the consequences they face when their property constitutes a nuisance to the community or neighbors.

Bernie, don't blame me, blame Willard's daddy. He's the one that set the tone for tax returns in a presidential election. Of course you don't care what's in his returns. But since you don't care and he's adamant about not giving them up, I definitely want to see them now. Whatever your thoughts are Bernie, this isn't just going to go away. I know that some like yourself are desperate to see Obama voted out of office, but there's this thing called "TRUSTWORTHINESS" that a presidential candidate has to meet. By stonewalling on his tax returns, Willard is giving every impression that he has something to hide and that he can't be trusted. CAN AMERICA TRUST WILLARD?? WE'LL FIND OUT WHEN HE FORKS OVER THOSE RETURNS. HE'LL DO IT EITHER SOONER OR LATER............BOOK IT!
"We have a government regardless of who's in power that just keeps spending money we don't have with no end in sight."
You're damned right...SPEND BABY SPEND.
All of a sudden, republicans are into penny pinching when it comes to spending. But they were nowhere to be seen nor heard from when a white knuckle drunk took this country from a balanced budget and a federal surplus to the 2nd worst economy in our nations history. Now that we're in a struggling economy, they want to pull the plug on spending. We've seen their European model for austerity and how it's working across the pond. When is come to matters of fiscal policy, there should be a law that bars republicans from being in those talks. They and their policies screwed up this country, but now they want to preach to us on how to make things better.
Why won't the Heritage Foundation vet Willard's tax plan? If God himself vetted Willard's tax plan, republicans would still swear up and down that it's all a leftist plot to make Willard look bad. Obviously, they can't handle the truth.
Look Bernie, let me break this down for you like a fraction. The tea party and their extremism can be summed up in the debt ceiling debate when Obama and Boehner agreed to a $4.7 trillion debt package. A package that consisted of spending cuts outweighing tax revenue by a 10 to 1 margin. Boehner took it back to his caucus to be ratified and the tea party struck it down. A 10 to 1 ratio and the tea party still couldn't agree with it. Progressives were furious with Obama for having made such a lopsided deal. We all know that the debt ceiling was raised eventually but not without this country's credit rating being reduced by Mooney's. What's going on in Washington is not some equal doses crappola that you're talking about. What's going on is a republican party that has been hijacked by an extremist group that has pushed out the moderates in the party.
You mean none of you guys ordered Freedom Fries with your meal?? republicans and their feigned indignation.
Me too. Or as Al Micheals would say..........YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
To some, when they see words like that, the independent group might as well have been wearing love beads and singing Kumbaya.
"Republicans now have begun an all-out boycott of Democratic policies, "
No they haven't, they did that in the 110th session of Congress when the Senate recorded a record 62 filibusters. All of that writing you did and not one word about the intransigence of the tea party. I'm just keeping it real my firned. Maybe you too are a tea party type and can't see the forest for the trees. I guess Steve LaTourrette was lying and you're telling the truth. I think not.
"his sealed transcript defense is the biggest crock you've ever tried to pass off, whiteychrysler. I can't get Obama's transcript, but all BHO needs to do is write a letter, send an Email, make a call, send a fax, whatever, to the records department at Hahvahd, Columbia, and Occidental and authorize them to send a certified copy of his transcript to ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, and NBC and they will."
Can Obama appeal to those entities for Willards tax returns? Never mind the Big O runs the IRS and he's already seen those returns. That's why he wants Willard to share them with the American public. Obama has released 12 years worth of returns (just like Willards daddy prescribed) and Willard will be forced to do the same. Say goodbye to your presidential aspirations.
Nice subterfuge Mr. Cranecams, but when members of Congress run for the presidency, they too will be asked to provide a good helping of tax returns.It's a way of life in a presidential campaign, and we can all thank George Ronmey for this. Besides, your argument sounds just as lame as Willard's argument when he talked about John Kerry's wife not releasing her tax returns. Willard has 3 choices:
The bottom line is that he loses no matter what he does. The good thing about that is that America will be the winner.
Sorry Bernie, but their are published reports out they say that it is the republican party that has veered to a more extremist position. Politics has always been steeped in compromise, and only a corpse wouldn't know that the tea party is not a very compromising group. They are what has hampered America's recovery. The debate over something as mundane as raising the debt ceiling showed that this group would even go so far as harming America if it couldn't get its way. This is not an argument about both sides being polarized. This is the fact that the tea party element within the republican party has poisoned the well when it comes to compromise. Steve LaTorrette pointed this out for you yesterday in no uncertain terms. Please share with us all the Democrats equivocate of a signed pledge for Grover Norquist.
Hackworth, Willard's Harvard transcripts are sealed too. But Obama has released 12 years worth of tax returns though. The tax cuts that show exactly how much the Obama's benefited from Gilligans tax cuts. Let's keep this apples to apples and have Willard release 12 years worth of his returns too. I found it comical that Willard couldn't even get back to America before reporters started hounding him again about his tax returns. I wonder does Willard curse his father at night? You can debate about college transcripts all you'd like, but the medias spotlight will remain on Willards tax returns. When prominent republicans start giving their views on Willard's tax returns, you can rest assured that it's a story that just isn't going to go away.
That's the sad part Tribe. Willard is not going to give out any details on his fiscal proposals. What programs will he cut, what deductions will he eliminate...etc etc... He says he wants to deal with the deficit, but how will he do this while also giving out trillions in tax cuts? He's playing the role of the magic elixir saleman, but news services are starting to add the numbers up and they just don't jibe with what Willard is saying. Some don't even care, but thank God that they represent the extremist base of the republican party and nothing more.
Yet and still Tribe, you keep hearing republicans say that george bush isn't running for election. Not only are these his fiscal policies, but 17 of 20 of Willard's foreign policy consultants are from bush's neocon cabinet. With a Willard in office, Americans will not only relive the days of tax cuts for the rich, they'll also be thrust back into war again.
I feel kind of bad for republicans right now. All of that pent up anger against Obama and they have no one competent to run against him. I think it's Willard's campaign handlers who are just out of their league right now. Mistake after mistake with no end in sight. Actually, I don't feel bad, I'm elated, and each whiny post about the dastardly MSM gives me even greater pleasure. The only thing that will change the dynamics for Willard is if he runs in another election in the future. This one is over with folks.
I'm not sure how you got from the perils of college grads to e-verify??? Are college grads looking to supplant illegal immigrants for those "lucrative" fruit picking jobs? Getting a BS in liberal arts just doesn't hack it in today's America. I made sure my kids got their higher education in a vocation that the job outlook would still be very good.
Hackworth, in a word..............NO. I do think Willard will be forced to release his returns though. Especiially since his daddy was the one that set the tone for presidential candidates releasing their tax returns. I'm just curious to know is their anything extremist republicans would be appalled at in Willard's tax returns? We all know that 23 years worth of them compelled John McLame to go with Sarah Palin as his VP.
I think Strickland's statement to reporters probably shut the Willard supporters up. Rick Santorum appears to have been correct when he said that Willard would be the worst possible candidate republicans could pick to run against the O. June and July were not very good months for Willard and August is not starting out too swift for him either.
But not enough to elect Willard over Obama. As much as republicans would like this election to be solely a referendum on the economy, voters will still need a reason to vote for Willard. They don't have that reason and they will stand pat with the Big O. That's what the polls say. republicans should have persuaded Butterbean to be their nominee like Ann Coulter tried to tell them.
It never ceases to amaze me how some whose lives would be affected adversely by Willard's policies nevertheless can't wait to vote for him. Their hatred for Obama so white hot, they can just taste his defeat. Thank God that sane Americans will make their presidential selection based on which candidates policies work best for them and their families.

The Kardashians
Keeping Up With the Kardashians Recap of Season 7, Episode 11: Where is the Love?
Tonight's episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians was about some people getting much closer to one another, and others drifting apart. Oh, and there was a major cliffhanger. Let's take it from the top!
The episode begins with Khloe and Kourtney hanging out with little Mason, with Khloe noticing something strange about Mase's shirt. Later, Kris Jenner invites her friend Lance Bass and his boyfriend over for dinner. Bruce is upstairs in his underpants watching television, but she insists that he join the group … with pants and shoes on, "like an adult." Bruce and Lance have some stimulating dinner conversation about his educational background and the incarceration of Lance's former boss, Lou Pearlman, but Khloe interrupts to ask why he and Kris are so far apart at the dinner table. Where's the romance?
Meanwhile, Rob's on the hunt for a house. He invites Scott Disick to join him in looking at this one place, and they both agree it's perfect (most importantly, it has great party potential). But when Rob hears that the asking price is over a million dollars, he gets a little spooked. The price is negotiable, but probably not as much as he'd like it to be.
Bruce surprises Kris with a new friend — Angie Everhart, the former supermodel. Better yet, they've got something in common: They both like to golf! And it's rare for women to like golf, apparently. "It's a nice change," Bruce says about her. The two hug it out on the green. Angie asks whether Kris likes to play, and Bruce notes that she's not a golfer. Angie mentions that she doesn't have a membership to play. But never fear, Bruce comes to the rescue! He gets her number and promises to set up a game.
Meanwhile, Rob's still not sure whether to purchase the home or not. So he and Kris' assistant, Noelle, get his business partner Elizabeth on the horn. She doesn't like the idea of him rushing into things, and he doesn't really have the cash to get what he wants anyway. This isn't the news Rob was hoping for.
When he leaves, he dials up Lamar Odom and asks what he thinks about Rob living with them again. Of course Lamar's in, and Rob tells him to make sure the fridge's stocked! When Scott rings to ask whether he made a move on the house they looked at, Rob says no and requests that Scott not inform the sisters just yet. Scott offers to help with house hunting again in the future.
When Bruce gets home from golfing, Kris is surprised to hear that he's run into Angie at the club. She gives him the stink-eye about it right away, and he adds that he's going to set up a game with her soon as he's fleeing up the steps. This is definitely getting sticky fast!
Khloe heads back to Kourtney's to chat some more. Kourtney's unloading some stuff to be returned, but she's all ears when Khloe tells her Rob wants to move back in. "He took advantage of any luxury [we had] and then as soon as he got Dancing With the Stars he bailed," Khloe remembers. Not to mention, with all of the amenities they have over at Club Odom, he could easily slip off of his proactive course. "He's doing so well, and I want him to continue to stay motivated," explains Khloe. "I just don't want to be the enabler." Kourtney thinks they need to have a serious meeting about the issue before anything else.
Bruce hits up Angie Everhart to set a date for golfing. He's got the next day free, and she happens to as well. When he gets home, Khloe starts teasing him about Kylie dating someone, and Bruce says she's way too young. When Khloe was fourteen, they wouldn't even talk about dating. "And look how amazing I am," she answers back. "I'm the only one of your kids who's actually married. You've got one that's got two babies out of wedlock, one that's been married twice, and this guy wants to move back into my house."
Bruce wonders why Rob doesn't want to stay on his own, and Rob's clearly not interested in discussing it. Khloe tells him that if he's going to live bill-free she still wants to see some productivity out of him. Bruce, on the other hand, feels like he should find his own place. "Be a big boy," he exclaims. Rob deflects, saying he does have enough money but that he wants to live with Lamar again. He doesn't want to talk financial woes with Bruce.
Later, Bruce goes upstairs and finds Kris organizing more of her things. "By the way, I'm leaving," he says. She asks him to pick up a dress at the dry cleaners that she needs for a red carpet event later that night. He doesn't think he can swing it since he's got a tee-off time with Angie. "So you're not going to get my stuff because you're with Angie?" she asks. He backs down and agrees to pick up the dress. "Have a good time," she says deviously.
At the range, Angie and Bruce have a good time and they have a pleasant chat. Meanwhile, Rob packs his stuff and leaves the apartment. The situation isn't ideal, but he's fortunate to be in the position he is. When Bruce gets home, he praises Angie's game. "She's a great golfer. She got me on the last hole I couldn't believe it," he says. "What does that mean, 'she got you on the last hole?'" Kris snaps back. He tries to explain, but she just wants her dry-cleaning, which he forgot to pick up. Slick move, Bruce. He offers to run and pick it up, but it's too late, she says.
When Khloe sees all of the boxes that Rob's moved over, she's immediately peeved. He was just supposed to bring his clothes over. Khloe starts wigging out, and even Lamar has to agree that "sometimes Rob can be disrespectful without even knowing it" … and there are a ton of boxes. Although, he does think Khloe might be a little OCD. He grunts at the early catastrophe the move has already made.
Over at Jenner Communications, Kim Kardashian shows up at Kris' beckoning. She's got something to tell her, and Kim has no idea what it is. Kris tells her about how she thinks Bruce "has a major crush" on Angie now. "Good for him," Kim says, but Kris snaps back "No, not good for him!" Kim brushes it off because she doesn't think Bruce would cheat on Kris and neither does Kris. "I don't think Bruce is cheating on me, but Bruce and I have sort of gotten into this routine where we're not exactly dating anymore," she says. Kim suggests that they first spy on him and Angie so she can know nothing's going on. She also advises Kris to take the lingerie up a notch and start sleeping in the same bed as him once in awhile. Kim labels it Operation Angie Everhart. Wow, no "super spy" points for creative naming, Kim.
At the Odoms, the special guest has arrived. Khloe starts in on how moving is going, and he cuts her off by answering a phone call. He tells the person on the other line that she's rude and disrespectful and out of her place. This understandably upsets Khloe and she lets him have a piece of her mind, convinced already that this is not going to work out.
Kim and Kris begin Operation Angie Everhart. Kim's brought a pair of binoculars, even. Kris is impressed and asks whether she's got a night vision camera, too. Kim answers jokingly, "No that was Paris Hilton." The two rent a golf cart and start searching for their guy. They pass by a lone golfer, and Kim says, "You don't want Bruce looking like that pathetic guy and playing by himself. Maybe you should be thankful Bruce has a buddy!" Kris retorts, "Not when they look like Angie Everhart." Fair enough.
They spot red hair and know they've found them. They have a little trouble ducking out and are almost spotted, but then Kim remembers how bad Bruce's vision is and tells Kris to look up. "Why do they look like they're having so much fun?" Kris wonders. He didn't seem to have as much fun when the two of them went golfing in the past. Both ladies are shocked when Bruce puts his arm around Angie to help her forward. Kim thinks it's time to go. Kris knows the arm-touching is not part of the game, and she admits she wasn't prepared to see that. Kim tells her to relax.
When Lamar gets home from a workout, Khloe alerts him to Rob's little 'tude. Lamar plays it smart and tries to stay out of most of their arguments, but he touches base with Rob. Rob's nice to Lamar, of course, but Khloe warns that he's getting kicked out if something doesn't give.
Kris makes it to her little function that evening with Jillian Reynolds and Giuliana Rancic, where they're being honored with Women of Achievement Awards from the Association of Breast and Prostate Cancer. They take some photos and settle into a table. Kris sits by Noelle and tells her that she thinks Bruce has a crush on Angie. Noelle thinks it's not possible and that he loves Kris too much for that. But Kris thinks they have some chemistry together, and now she's ready for payback. "If Bruce is getting flirty with Angie, I'm not going to hang out and twiddle my thumbs … Maybe it's time I had that long-awaited talk that Todd [Waterman] wants to have." Noelle thinks it's a rash decision, but Kris insists, "Sometimes I think there is another chapter for me." "Without Bruce?" Noelle asks. Kris says yes.
Rob comes back to Khloe's house, this time even more unpleasant than the previous time. He won't even acknowledge her when she says hello, and now Khloe's really ticked. He's in her house, after all. She calls him out on being rude to her since day one of his move. He decides to tell her why he's been so ornery: He can't afford his own place. Khloe's actually happy about it and says that it's good that he'll be taking his time with finding the right fit. She tells him about how when she was his age, she insisted on getting a two-bedroom townhouse instead of a one-bedroom, even above parental objections, and how she struggled every month. She was way in over her head, and she doesn't want Rob to go through that. She understands now why he was giving her so much guff. "You gotta promise me you will never give me attitude in my house again," she tells him.
Bruce walks in to chat with Kris about whether his red collared shirt or his black one looks best. "When's the last time you cared about what shirt you wear to the golf course?" she asks. Bruce gives up. He explains that he's gotta show up to the golf course first because he doesn't want to keep Angie waiting. "Oh we don't want 'Ang' to wait," she sasses him. He tells her that if she needs him, don't call, just text.
Khloe calls someone to inquire about how to help Rob save money while he's living with her and Lamar. It's recommended that she charge him some rent and then put it into a savings for him. Rob likes the idea and appreciates Khloe's help. Now, there's the friendly face we've been missing all episode! "This is the start of a new adventure," she promises him. He cuts her a $3,000.00 check for the first month's rent in advance.
Kris decides to meet up with Todd at the Wilshire Hotel. She orders a steep glass of wine first thing. "It probably sounds so childish, but if Bruce is going to go to the golf course and hang out with Angie all day long, I'm not going to feel guilty about wanting to meet up with Todd," she says.
When Todd arrives, she disses him for being thirty minutes late, and she's surprised at how relaxed she feels around him. She's not nervous, like she expected to be. He compliments her on looking great, and then the two go back and forth about who found who at the tennis club. There's some flirtation going on here for sure!
While Angie and Bruce are innocently saying good-bye, Kris and Todd get a little too cozy. "Twenty-three years. That's a really long time not to see somebody and then go back to that place," she says to him. "I didn't feel like in control of my emotions, and I had to figure out how to breathe again," she tells him. "You're in control now," he tells her. Then, she asks whether he's with anyone. No, he says. When she asks why — noting that he's a handsome guy — he whispers something in her ear. She comes away saying that there's no way he's been waiting for twenty-three years for someone.
"I think timing's everything," he coos to her. She agrees. "How much time do we have tonight?" he asks her with a sultry tone. "Uh, how much time do you need?" she asks meekly.
To be continued? You bet it will!

I currently have a DTXpress II, but I'm in the "analysis paralysis" portion of an upgrade to something newer, quieter, and closer in feel to an acoustic kit.
It will essentially replace my acoustic in day-to-day respects, due to my living situation. I don't plan on gigging with it (that's what my Rogers are waiting patiently for), but I will rehearse and record with it, as well as create music with other remote musicians. I'm not massively experienced; I've been playing for about twelve years total, with the last three being... not so much - but now I'm at a place where I can and have been getting serious again. I'm not worried about skill transfer problems between the electronic and acoustic set, as I didn't have any using the old DTX (or perhaps my skill level wasn't high enough to be affected, more likely...)
My budget is about 3k - I'm able to go a little above that, if there's good reason - but not too much more. Bulk of the funding a gift card that can be used only at certain merchants, Guitar Center being one of them, so that's where I'm looking - otherwise I'd absolutely be looking for an "I bought these and they gathered dust now I'm selling them cheap" used setup.
I've so far narrowed it down to either the Yamaha DTX750K or Roland TD-15KV. I definitely want the realistic hi-hat setup, and while I'd prefer the fuller size kick (ex: the DTX750 comes with the smaller pad, same as my DTXpress(!)) it isn't a dealbreaker. I'll certainly try before I buy with respect to pad feel, but closer to acoustic feel is important. I had a Roland Rhythm Coach a few years ago and it felt too bouncy, so I am absolutely interested in the latest Yamaha pads - and have heard they're also quieter (a huge plus).
Thanks for reading this far! Any and all input is appreciated.
The DTX750K is a great choice because all the toms, cymbals and snare pad have 3-zones. The 2-zoned vertical motion hi-hat comes with a Yamaha hi-hat stand. The snare and toms are DTX-Pads with realistic stick response and they are very quiet. The rack is all steel and it comes with Yamaha drum hardware. (Toms and Cymbal booms). But best of all is the DTX700 module's ability to load in your own custom sounds or kits, layer different sounds together, cymbals choke and pre-choke, the snare wires can be turned on or off, with pads the have the pad controller knob you can re-tune your toms on the fly and much more. If you need a larger kick tower there is the KP125W from the DTX900 series kits. Also there is the DTX790K configuration with the same pad/rack set up as the DTX900K. Below are two video links, one for the DTX-Pad demo and one for the preset kits.
Hope this helps and if you have more questions on the DTX kits please let me know,

HMRC Produce New Guidance on Self-employed Status
After a long period of discussion HMRC have published new guidance regarding self-employed status. They have issued guidelines under the heading – Intermediaries Legislation (IR35): Business entity tests.
The guidance is specifically aimed at those individuals who operate through their own company but the questions raised assume that the engagement status of the worker has to be reviewed to establish if he/she would be an employee assuming that there is no intermediary company. This is in fact the same test that applies to individuals to consider their status of employment or self-employment.
The guidance adopts a risk approach to identifying cases where HMRC would claim that the worker would/would not be an employee and sets out a series of 12 business entity questions, awarding points to the outcomes. In this case points mean prizes as the more points a business scores, the less risk of HMRC regarding the worker as an employee.
The first fact to note is that there has been no change to the law in this area. HMRC are, however, taking a different stance in the matter and their conclusions are written as if they are statements of fact, which they are not. They are not embedded in law and are merely HMRC's indicators of where they perceive that trouble lies. The points awarded to the answers may be challenged but the fact is that the guidance is the view of HMRC and therefore we must take note of their thinking.
The link to the full document is: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/ir35/guidance.pdf
If you would like to discuss any aspect of this further please contact our Business Tax Director, John Caithness, in the first instance.

Before he throws down a smoke bomb and vanishes into what we're hoping will only be temporary hiatus, Steven Soderbergh is still delivering movies. His latest is psychological thriller Side Effects (originally known as 'The Bitter Pill', which sees Rooney Mara being drawn into a dangerous drama with her doctor (Jude Law) and husband (Channing Tatum).
Soderbergh has largely been able to keep the plot of the new film under wraps, though we do know that Mara will be the troubled Emily, whose life begins to unravel and she starts seeing a therapist (Law). It seems she's having trouble dealing with the release of her paroled hubby, but the drug that Law prescribes has, as the title suggests, some dodgy side effects.
But from the looks of this, there's a lot more to it than that, especially as she appears to grow closer to the medical man, which in turn brings his motives into question. Given the batch of returning Soder-burghers (including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Law and Tatum) and the presence of Mara, we're hoping for good things from this one.
With a script by Contagion's Scott Z Burns, Side Effects it set to arrive on March 15 next year.

Former Citadel punter Cass Couey will get a free-agent tryout with the New York Giants at the NFL team's mini-camp, set for May 11-13.
The Giants could offer Couey a free-agent contract after the tryout. The Buffalo Bills signed five players after a mini-camp on April 16.
Couey, a 6-1, 210-pounder from Tampa, Fla., started four years at punter for The Citadel, averaging 43 yards per kick as a junior and 42.4 yards last season as a senior.
Couey's chief rival as top punter in the Southern Conference, Appalachian State's Sam Martin, was drafted in the fifth round of last weekend's NFL draft by Detroit. Martin averaged 45.9 yards per kick last season.
Couey is the second Citadel player to receive a mini-camp invitation. Defensive end Chris Billingslea will go to camp with Seattle on May 11-13.
Charleston Southern cornerback Charles James will also be at the Giants' mini-camp. James, a 5-9, 179-pounder from Jacksonville, Fla., made 32 tackles and intercepted two passes for CSU last year, making first-team all-Big South.
Here's a list of FCS players from South Carolina who have received mini-camp invitations so far:
Citadel P Cass Couey, Giants; Citadel DE Chris Billingslea, Seahawks; Wofford FB Eric Breitenstein, Panthers; Wofford LB Mike Niam, Browns; South Carolina State FS Jakar Hamilton, Cowboys; Furman TE Colin Anderson, Vikings; Furman RB Jerodis Williams, Vikings; Charleston Southern CB Charles James, Giants.

Arizona's two major electric utilities have spent millions of dollars in the wake of three fatal accidents five years ago to ensure their workers maintaining the power grid are safe.
After lengthy runs without any fatal accidents working on the high-voltage electric grid, both Salt River Project and Arizona Public Service Co. lost employees in late 2008. A third worker was killed in a non-electrical power-plant accident in early 2009.
All three of the workers were performing routine tasks undertaken daily by employees at the utilities, underscoring the importance of safety in their job.
Both utilities launched extensive training programs and evaluations of their procedures in hopes of preventing such accidents. They have built upon the already strong safety records at the utilities.
In 2008, both utilities had fewer than 1.5 accidents per 100 workers per year. That number had decreased dramatically since 1991, when SRP had an average of 4.86 and APS had an average 3.56. Last year, SRP's rate was 1.02 while APS' was 0.71.
That compares with a rate of 2.4 for all utilities, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The industry does not have as high an accident rate as many other trades — beer and wine distributors had a rate of 7.3 last year — but when there is an accident on the electric grid, it often is fatal.
In 2012, 23 power-line installers and repairers were killed at work for every 100,000 on the job, according to the BLS. The industry ranked seventh most fatal, behind logging, fishing, aircraft pilots, roofers, iron and steel workers and trash haulers.
Before the 2008 accidents, the last electrical fatality at SRP was in 1985 and the last at APS was 1992.
APS has nearly 600 employees who work on the electrical system in various jobs, and SRP has about 300.
"It is a dangerous business, no question about it," said Daniel Froetscher, vice president of energy delivery for APS. "I worry every day. I've got a couple hundred people out there right now."
APS used consultants
APS took an exhaustive look at its safety training in the wake of the December 2008 death of Miguel Avena, who was electrocuted while working in an area near the Saguaro Power Plant.
APS officials hired at least three outside consulting firms at a cost of $860,000 to review the safety procedures and culture at the utility, with the goal to address worker attitudes toward safety.
"Prior to 2008, it had been a number of years since we had an independent set of eyes on our practices," Froetscher said.
"We have really in the last three or four years taken a much more rigorous look at the human performance and behavior side of how we do our work," Froetscher said. "We've tried to make the work environment such that employee A can call out employee B without repercussion, without regard to seniority or time on the job."
One of the lessons learned from Avena's accident, which occurred on a line that was thought to be de-energized at the time, was that the work crew did not conduct a sufficient "tailboarding" or discussion of the work to be done ahead of time. The crew had finished one set of tasks ahead of schedule, and without stepping back and conducting another tailboard meeting, moved on to another task, Froetscher said.
"We broke down on that step," he said, adding that the description of how the accident occurred has been shared with other workers as part of their training in hopes of preventing the same type of occurrence.
APS also has analyzed where accidents are most likely to occur, including a worker's first time performing a job, work where there will be distractions and other "error traps."
"There is a science behind how people behave," Froetscher said. "And we can systematically head those events off. … We can and have done better in terms of identifying error-prone situations."
The Arizona division of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration proposed $42,000 in fines for five violations in the APS accident, and after reviewing the event, APS proposed a sixth violation but disputed the others OSHA proposed.
The agency dismissed four of its proposed violations but still fined APS $14,000 for an insufficient job briefing and for failing to place a temporary ground on the line, which is the violation APS proposed.
SRP gives full review
SRP, which lost a lineman who was repairing a damaged power line in east Mesa in November 2008, took a comprehensive look at how linemen address their job and the safety equipment they use.
The worker, Richard Clasby, was working on a pole and removed a rubber glove, in violation of SRP's working guidelines at the time. His co-workers should have directed him to replace the glove. Clasby was electrocuted, possibly by an arc from the power line. He was rescued from the pole, but his co-workers were unable to save him.
OSHA's Arizona division proposed $23,250 in fines for six violations but later reduced that to $9,250 for three violations.
"One of the most significant things we've done immediately following the Clasby fatality was a recognition that sometimes folks make mistakes ... and oftentimes, they go unchallenged in certain environments," said Don Breiland, director of risk management.
SRP has spent $1.1 million on "commitment based" safety training, which emphasizes that all employees have an obligation to speak up when they see something unsafe.
"The premise is that every subject-matter expert in the field has the responsibility to speak up and speak out when they identify behaviors or practices that are contrary to rules or otherwise seen as unsafe," Breiland said.
SRP also has addressed many other details of linemen's work that were not factors in Clasby's accident but where officials thought there could be improvements.
They revamped their pole-top rescue training and "hot stick" training for the tools the linemen use to work on the power lines. They also changed the way they climb wood poles, moving to a system with two belts on the poles for additional safety. They spend hundreds of thousands of dollars installing defibrillators in the work trucks and training all the linemen how to use them.
"We were really doing anything reasonable to make sure this wouldn't happen again," Breiland said.
SRP also has refined the way the utility promotes linemen to foremen who lead the repair crews, making the selection process much more rigorous. The screening has cost thousands of dollars and includes profiling job candidates to determine how they might behave in certain safety-related situations, he said.
"We have had positions open and not filled them, not because there were not folks interested, but because folks are interested, but (they haven't) achieved the level of performance we have now demanded to occupy those roles," he said.
Vehicle dangers
Both utilities have significant exposure to vehicle accidents with hundreds of workers putting millions of miles on the road each year, but they have training programs to minimize those dangers.
Despite the efforts, they occasionally lose workers to car accidents. APS had a fatality Dec. 11, when a worker was involved in an accident north of Phoenix on Interstate 17.
The most previous APS driving fatality was in 2002, and prior to that, there was a fatality in 1999, spokesman Damon Gross said.
"Our goal is no fatalities," Gross said.
APS workers put about 22 million miles on company vehicles a year. The utility has a rate of 0.23 to 0.45 accidents per 100,000 miles driven in the past three years.
SRP, with a smaller service territory, sees its employees put about 17 million miles a year on vehicles and posted an accident rate of 0.27 in its last fiscal year. It was about 0.33 five years ago, officials said.
Both utilities have regular communications with employees and provide defensive-driving courses for those who drive as part of their jobs. Those driving larger vehicles have more frequent training and testing.
Neither company allows workers to use mobile devices while driving, and they have individual programs, such as one at SRP called "Attack Backing," to teach drivers to pull through parking spaces to avoid accidents caused by backing up.
SRP's records show that it is more common that its workers are involved in accidents that are the fault of the other driver than the fault of its employees, said Paul Manganaro, manager of safety services.
"Our employees do a pretty good job (driving) overall," he said. "Our greatest exposure (to workplace accidents) is the work these guys do electrically, in construction, and maintenance wise."

Rules Under Development
Retrospective Rating for Workers' Compensation Insurance
Chapter 296-17B, WAC
All updates for this rule:
Retro rules update (Chatper 296-17B WAC)
When retro rules were updated in 2011, L&I made a commitment to revisit the studies leading to the current hazard group assignments, formulas and tables, and to update them if needed. This rulemaking begins the process of repeating the studies behind the 2011 rules, and to identify any necessary updates or changes. This rulemaking is also intended to open the dialog with the broader retro community and other stakeholders in order to ensure appropriate public input.
Retrospective Rating for Workers' Compensation (Petitions)
The purposes of this rule proposal are to extend certain requirements currently in the rule for group retro participants to businesses that enroll in individual retro plans. The second addresses retro enrollment requirements for businesses under common majority ownership.

Geri-activism on youTube.
It's so long since I posted on this blog. That's because I've been dragged away from my bike activism to work on saving our beautiful single screen cinema at Avoca Beach from over development.
They want to turn it into five screens, the silly buggers, and for a town of our size which loves the theatre the way it is, ( one more screen perhaps) that is being SO opposed
So my geri- activism has meant making several movies to not only to tell the Avoca picture theatre story, but also that of Mount Vic Flicks another single screen in strife .
Thank God for this wonderful movie platform, Youtube.
When I began making documentaries 50 years ago, the idea that one would be able to release films to the wide wide world for no cost , and asking no one's permission, well, that was a dream we never dared indulge.
Now, out go our activist films, made on a shoe string, making a difference we hope
I'm calling this way of working; Tube for Change . Here are some of the recent movies.
First, one about the Heritage value of our theatre. The last of the Last
Now, here's the story of Mount Vic Flicks, fighting to stay open after july 7th. 2013
This drama in part prompted me to come up with the name, Tube For Change. and the idea of being a geriactivist. As you'll see, the camera does become an agent for change in this story.
What happened in that little theatre brought back memories of when I worked at the National Film Board of Canada.
In the 70s there, we had a program called; Challenge for Change which used very early video equipment to empower people without power. Now, my far better technology does somewhat the same thing.
So, all of that's taken me away from bikes to some extent.
Not completely. I've become very interested in Lord Howe island as a place to ride bikes. It seems that kids actually go to school there on bikes whereas in the rest of our silly nation they are bussed, fussed and SUV'd.
It looks like a great place to ride. It looks like I need to do a movie there.
Bikes are transport for adults too on the island.
So, I'm asking them, being a very laid back place with little traffic, whether they might consider a helmet exemption like in the Northern Territory.
You' d think this would be the last place you'd need or want a lid.
Lord Howe already have a seat belt exemption, apparently, and so why not helmet choice for bikes?
I need to speak to the local doctor to see what he thinks. I'm told that they's had some nasty bike accidents and he's apt to think I'm crazy. But who knows!
Helmet choice could put the Island on the map since many mainlanders and European tourists crave to ride with the wind in their hair, and the island depends on tourism to survive
Another good bike thing I've done is to lend my spare Electric bike to Collette. This is a good move because her ride to work is about the right distance, she does face some hills, and she's the sort of activist who is going to make sure everyone around her hears how great E bikes are.
The bike I've lent her has, as you can see, the Lithium Polymer battery behind the seat. The motor is in the rear hub and is 200 watts. Now, it's legal to have slightly bigger motors, 250 watts.
The downside of the law changes is that new bikes no longer come with throttles like this bike has . The throttle is by far the best way to control the power I feel.. The new bikes add power automatically as you pedal.

Eight Teams Ready to Fight for DIII Softball Championship - Tournament PreviewMay 18, 2010
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The NJCAA Division III Softball Championship is set for play May 20-22 in Rochester, Minn. The official tournament bracket is available here.
District B (Region3b): Tompkins Cortland Community College, N.Y. (32-8) - The Panthers are returning to the national tournament as the defending national champions this year, and are set on making it two in a row. TC3 defeated Genesee CC in the Region 3b championship by scores of 4-3 and 6-1, to advance to the national tournament. Sophomore Colleen Bannon is the offensive leader of the Panthers, hitting an amazing .567 with 34 RBI's, 49 runs, and nine home runs. With a balanced pitching effort and an offense that holds an average of .356, the Panthers are poised to retain their title of national champions.
District C (Region 13a): Rochester CTC, Minn. (32-15) - This will be the Yellowjackets fourth trip to the national tournament in program history with their best finish coming last year when they took 4th place. Rochester CTC out-dueled Riverland CC in the Region 13A Championship by scores of 3-2 and 2-1 to earn their way into the tournament. In the circle, they are led by the strong pitching of sophomore Deanna Mock. Mock holds a record of 22-7 with a 2.12 ERA. Freshman Anna Ramboldt leads the offensive charge hitting .465 with 53 RBI's and 41 runs.
District D (Region 13b): Itasca Community College, Minn. (49-5) - The Vikings are making their third appearance in the national tournament in program history. With previous attempts faring no better than a 6th place finish, the Vikings enter this years tournament with the goal of moving further than their predecessors attempts. Itasca CC handled Central Lakes College 9-2 in the Region 13B Championship. Itasca is heavily talented in the circle with two pitchers holding ERA's below 1.00. Sophomore Katie McBride is 32-2 with a 0.48 ERA and 373 strikeouts. Complimenting McBride is sophomore Emma Nelson who has an ERA of 0.78 with 132 strikeouts. McBride and Nelson hold the two lowest ERA's in all of NJCAA Division III Softball.
District E (Region 15): Suffolk County Community College-Selden, N.Y. (33-7) - This will be the Clippers third trip to the Division 3 Softball National Championship Tournament. Last year they left the tournament with a fifth place finish. Suffolk County CC overcame Dutchess Community College with a score of 11-4 in the Region 15 title game. The Clippers have a very balanced pitching staff in which each hurler can confound any lineup they face. As a team, the Clippers are belting out a .409 average making them a very difficult team to stop once they get rolling.
District F (Region 19): Brookdale Community College, N.J. (41-10) - The Jersey Blues are in the national tournament for the third time in school history. Their first two appearances came in 2002 and 2005 when they won the national championship in each year. The Jersey Blues are trying to make it 3-for-3 in the Division 3 Softball Championship Tournament this year with a lineup that brings 11 players hitting above .300. In the circle, freshman Kerilyn Svenson has kept teams off balance all season long and carries an ERA of 1.00 with 226 strikeouts though 196.2 innings.
District G (Region 2, 4, 12): Rock Valley College, Ill. (29-15) - The Golden Eagles will be appearing in their first NJCAA Division 3 Softball National Championship tournament. Rock Valley played in a tough Region 4 tournament. In game one they edged out Madison 5-4 in 8 innings, and in game two they snuck by Joliet Junior College 3-2. The Golden Eagles beat College of DuPage 2-1 to claim the Region 4 title and a trip to the national tournament. Sophomore Vanessa Krull is the ace of the pitching staff with a 1.08 ERA, and 114 strikeouts through 136.1 innings of work. As a team, Rock Valley is hitting .325 with eight players above .300.
District H (Region 20, 21): CCAC-South, Md. (15-14) - The Tigers are also in their first ever national tournament appearance with the goal of taking home the title in their first attempt. CCAC-South got the better of Westmoreland Community College in the Region 20 Championship with a score of 7-4. Westmoreland County Community College had beaten the Tigers in all five of their previous meetings during the regular season. It was feast or famine for the Tigers this year as in each victory they scored an average of 8.2 runs and in each loss, they were only able to garner 2.6 runs.

Why Rubby De La Rosa Could Make Boston Red Sox 25-Man Roster
February 11th 2013 22:02
The Boston Red Sox acquired pitcher Rubby De La Rosa in a deal on Oct. 4 of last year to complete the trade that sent first baseman Adrian Gonzalez to the Los Angeles Dodgers. De La Rosa is one of Bostons top prospects and could even crack the opening day roster.

Over the last few days Google made a significant change to it's search algorithm. If you are now logged in to Google and perform a search it will give a strong weighting in search results to content provided by or linked to by your friends in your social graph. This could be people on Twitter, Flickr, through blogs and other public sources of data. This personalisation of search results is a trend that is set to continue. It's about providing search results that are more relevant to you.
RottenTomatoes is a movie review site. Recently they integrated their data with Facebook so now when you look up movie reviews it pulls information from your social graph to display more relevant results. If some of my friends rated movies that I'm searching for I start to see this information. I also see other activity on the site related to my friends. Google is taking this a step further back by personalising results directly from search.
There is only one big problem for Google and that's the new kid on the block – Facebook. How can you implement a real social search when you don't have access to all the conversation from the 650 million people within Facebook. This is a big hole in Google's strategy which they cannot resolve as there's no way Facebook will ever give them access to this.
However, Facebook do have access to all the public sites that Google has so a social search within Facebook is always going to be more powerful. At the moment the search facility within Facebook is very basic. When you search it displays results from internally within Facebook, from Bing and it is also starting to deliver results from websites sites that are tightly integrated with Facebook. Watch this area expand and grow.
If you asked anybody in Facebook what they think about how good Google's search is they are likely to completely disagree with how this search is implemented. Google's machines index all the content and the search results are heavily influenced by Linking from external sites. However, Facebook believes in people indexing content not machines. On Facebook if someone clicks 'Like' on a piece of content or 'Recommend' that's an extra vote for this piece of content. Of course if they click 'Like' Facebook also has access to information on who this person is, who are their friends, how influential they are etc and this could all be taken into account. The 'Like' button is a simple but very important steps towards social search. Watch out for Facebook over the next few months delivering a major upgrade to their search which will get people really thinking about Google's number 1 position and how it is not guaranteed any more!
Have you noticed changes in search results recently?

Mental Health Nuse Managers of Ireland Conference. Oct 14"
"I am happy to recommend the Meyrick Hotel, and in particular the services of their Conference Manager, as a venue for academic meetings.
The Association of Canadian Studies in Ireland held its biennial conference at the Meyrick in May of 2014. I have organised three conferences for the Association over the last number of years, both in Galway and in other cities in Ireland, and I can confidently say that we have never had such positive comments about the venue from participants. The arrangements for the conference were made in a highly competent, professional manner; there was always a staff member handy to answer queries and provide assistance; the food and accommodation were absolutely wonderful; the visiting speakers and Canadian government officials were treated with care and consideration. The historic building was certainly a draw for us, but it was really the Conference Managers's friendly, hands-on approach to the event that made us decide to hold the conference in the Meyrick.
I have nothing but praise for the Hotel and its employees.
Dr Elizabeth Tilley
President, Association of Canadian Studies in Ireland"

39 Juventus fans were killed when Liverpool fans breached a fence at the European Cup final in Belgium in 1985 - causing animosity between the two teams ever since.
Del Piero, a legend at Juventus after serving the club for 19 years and becoming their record goalscorer, has instead joined Sydney FC.

Gear Review
My new Go-To sunglasses
I got these with the blue reflex lenses, and they quickly became the glasses I use most. They are dark enough for really bright light (10% light transmission) and they cut glare really well. They are light and comfortable, and they stay in place very well when running or cycling. Two downsides: first, the gray lens base preserves true color, but doesn't enhance contrast they way a brown or copper base would, so I prefer my Kaenons when sailing; second, the Reflex coating seems a bit fragile. Mine are pretty scratched up, but I guess I've been hard on them.
They have a lifetime warranty. For $30 you can get your scratched up pair replaced.

It's pretty simple, TMZ is either correct about Floyd Mayweather, or they botched a story and owe some apologies. TMZ recently reported that Floyd Mayweather Jr basically sent in a hit squad to rough up two men that allegedly had stolen his jewelry. The TMZ article claims that Floyd hired these men to do some work at his mansion. When some of Floyd's jewelry came up missing, he accused the repair men of stealing it. TMZ sources claim that both men were severely injured, with broken legs, and other injuries.
If this story turns out to be true, Floyd is in some very serious trouble. These are very severe accusations being launched at Floyd. If TMZ has this right, it looks like Floyd would be in violation of his parole and he would probably be sent back to prison for a much longer stay than last time. If TMZ is wrong, then Floyd has a case against them for slander, and perhaps more.
Mayweather is scheduled to face Marcos Maidana on May 3rd. This recent report could certainly derail that plan. Things have been quiet since the initial TMZ report, but hat in itself is telling. FightHype.com, notoriously known as a pro Mayweather website has published nothing refuting TMZ's report. No word from TMT has been put out either. It is very well possible in this case that silence speaks volumes.
Truth be told, I personally hope that there's nothing to this story. I'd hate to see Floyd sent to prison over something as stupid as some jewelry. What good is having hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank if you're in prison? One would hope that if Floyd truly did have expensive jewelry stolen, he would behave like an adult and file charges with the local law enforcement. Sending bodyguards, or hit men types after someone certainly isn't the right thing to do.

Ceres, are they building a ship for you?
You are not lost or forgotten
your wood is too strong for that
With your chest high, your eyes sky bound true
No new coat of paint could do justice after the elements' touch
Who needs legs when you can glide
One foot is all one needs to push off rocky earth with wings of surf and wind
But you lead no more
The sickle in your hand was not enough to protect you
Who cut you down?
You, goddess of harvest, cut grain down and they worship you, cut you down
Can you feel the earth rotate in the absence of the sea?
In the gallery, now your stagnant journey
Are you ready for our voyage?
I say ours because I hope you will take me with you
You cannot see but to your left, is a painting on the museum wall
By Homer?
In it they build you a ship. Shards on a beach waiting for your grace and direction
Homer builds you a ship
Homer helped man love the sea
When I was young my father said he worked on a ship, he helped it float and hover
He was building a ship for you and never knew it
I remember his hands that day because as a child I thought that shipbuilding was impossible with just those two hands
I know better now but I will tell you he alone built you a ship
I only love you because I love my father so much

If Auburn hired Petrino in 2003, he would've bolted to the NFL a year or two later... I highly doubt he would've gone undefeated in 04.

Sounds like a reasonable enough explanation.. I'm not sure why you're insinuating that I wasn't being objective and fair with my comment though.
The article that ran a few days ago made NO mention of her living in an apartment. It even made references to "her backyard" instead of "the backyard she SHARES with complaining neighbors". That makes a HUGE difference.
Very misleading journalism.
Parades are for winners only.
I won't blame the company if they have to fire the employees, but some of these comments are ridiculous. I'm not going to blame anybody for asking to make more than $9 an hour. The word "entitlement" is being thrown around too much... these people spend their day driving around entitled students who are somehow entitled to tax-payer subsidized education.
I'm not a legal scholar, but I'm pretty sure that it's illegal to kill people.
I'm happy that someone is sticking up for the teacher's right to drink and do illegal drugs during school hours.
How many NASA workers have you seen building things on a line?
I have a feeling that the US would stop funding NASA, the military bases and UAB if we were to become an independent country.

Paul Mitchell Relaxer Testimony
2) Client "B" was easy to burn within a few minutes with the application of most ethnic lye relaxer applications. She was also experiencing some hair density changes with the "sensitive scalp" relaxer applications. (i.e. thinning) So she trusted me to start with the Paul Mitchel "lye" relaxers and it worked! Over the last six months, she now has a healthier scalp, increase in hair density, and "NO BURNING" even with the Paul Mitchell "Super" strength application.
Most people are scared of the Super strength relaxer and rightfully so. I have found that the regular strength Design Essential relaxer is STRONGER than the super strength Paul Mitchell relaxer. Example: "Client C" usually received regular strength Design Essentials relaxer that she received every 3 months. However, the Paul Mitchell super strength relaxer that she received only held her for two months. She decided to return to the Design Essentials relaxer for her next touch-up service. She wanted "more bang for the buck."
It is safe to start out with Mild or Regular Strength Paul Mitchell relaxer system if you are not kinky-curly in curl pattern and you are not concerned with straightness. Typically, I start everyone out with regular strength Paul Mitchell relaxers and move up to super strength on future visits if hair appears underprocessed with the regular strength.
Hair that is underprocessed can cause styling challenges and "popping" from the tangles. So finding the right strength is important. I do not offer "Super" in any of the ethnic relaxer lines. This should give you a good perspective of my thoughts on relaxer comparisons as far as strength is concerned. I actually feel that Paul Mitchell has more conditioners built into his Super strength relaxer than the regular strength. I feel that sensitive scalp clients may experience more sensation with the regular strength Paul Mitchell relaxer than they do with the super strength. It sounds weird, but my experiences are leading me to that conclusion.
Fine, overcurly hair should stick with Regular strength Paul Mitchell relaxer. I also suggest adding the Mizani Butter Blend Microfusion Penetrating Treatment spray to use after the neutralizing shampooing phase in order to infuse the oils back into ethnic hair.
The neutralizing shampoos used with the Paul Mitchell relaxer system can be "over clarifying" for some ethnic hair in my opinion. I get the best results by adding extra conditioners (such as Mizani Butter Blend Microfusion) in addition to the Paul Mitchell recommended "Lavendar Mint" conditioner.
Now, as for me, It took me about 14 months to recover from the "Bodipher" experience on my own hair, but I could not have done it without the Paul Mitchell relaxer system! I have found the super strength gives me about 75% straightness. That is straight enough to keep it humidity resistant.
Who should consider Paul Mitchell relaxers as an option? Anyone with a sensitive scalp and is receiving sensitive scalp relaxers in the salon. Here is a link supporting the dangers of sensitive scalp relaxers: http://www.dralisyed.com/2009/10/new-information-regarding-sens.html#more
8 comments:
After discovering how most relaxers and ethnic lines have non-Black chemists, but they hide behind an all-Black marketing campaign, I feel more confident than ever to recommend the Paul Mitchell relaxer line. It is from a professional product line that has exceptional customer service and knowledgeable educators. Also, in regards to my reference to Dr. Ali Syed, I found an article in his blog stating that Madam C J Walker invented the pressing comb. This is not true. I was surprised that he posted incorrect information. So his credibility is a little questionable when it comes to reciting history. I think that his study on sensitive scalp relaxers should be accurate since it is not history related.ReplyDelete
The Mizani Butter Blend Microfusion spray has been discontinued. It is no longer being manufactured. I am researching a new spray by Tressa to use lieu of the Mizani Microfusion spray.ReplyDelete
I just received a Paul Mitchell update on their relaxers. Due to lower demand, the mild and super strengths are scheduled to be discontinued. Only the regular strength will be available. Also, please check your batch codes, there are unopened batches of relaxers from 2009 still on some shelves. (If batch code starts with s9, then more than likely you have an expired batch).ReplyDelete
Have you found a replacement for the Mizani Microfusion spray?ReplyDeleteReplies
Shumon, I am on my last bottle of the Microfusion spray. I did not find a replacement as of yet. I will more than likely just use the Keracare Humecto conditioner only. I will update this post if I discover a better conditioning step. I have a few new lines that I plan to start getting into the salon.Delete
I just used the Regular Strength Relaxer on a Philippino client with previously unprocessed hair that was only wavy. It only reduced the wave by maybe 20%. After reading your post I checked the code on the bottom of the tub (which I purchased last week!), it starts with S6. Does this mean it was manufactured in 2006?!ReplyDeleteReplies
unfortunately Miriam, yes, 2006, but you can call Paul Mitchell to be sure. I have called Cosmoprof four times about old relaxer on their shelves. Since May 2014, they have not shown any sincere concern about the old relaxer. I would be willing to form a group to begin a class action. Maybe they will begin to actually listen to us the hairstylist.Delete
It took five months and several phone calls for the Cosmoprof stores to get rid of all the expired Paul Mitchell relaxers, but finally, it is done. This was a lot of work on my part to get their attention, and I was not even on the payroll. Our beauty industry is SERIOUSLY underregulated. This is truly an example of my commitment and passion as it relates to our hair industry.ReplyDelete
