Instead, he is riding a populist wave of economic pessimism and panic that appears ready to buy his "change you can believe in" mantra, despite an economic plan that few voters understand.
At its core is a raft of draconian tax increases on critical components of the nation's economy -- tax hikes that have been an integral part of his party's "grow the government" prescriptions for decades.
He intends to raise the top personal-income tax rate from 35 percent to 39.6 percent, hike the 15 percent tax rate on capital gains and dividends to between 20 percent and 28 percent, levy higher tax rates on corporations, and increase the Social Security payroll tax on upper-income Americans.
Obama will be raising taxes on the very parts of our economy that have been the wellspring of its venture-capital investment pool that is now on life support.
Exactly how Americans worried about the economy can truly believe that we can tax our way out of a recession is a mystery, but that is what Obama is peddling and that is what Obama voters are buying hook, line and sinker.
Not everyone, though. Listen to what University of Maryland economist Peter Morici, a sharp critic of the Bush administration's economic policies, said about Obama's plan:
"Obama's tax-and-redistribute policies will not resurrect jobs, wages or the price of stocks in American retirement accounts ... Obama's policies may make economic conditions worse," he said this week. "His platform is full of platitudes and generalizations but not enough substance."
McCain has got to relentlessly pound Obama's tax plan as the medical equivalent of bleeding an economy that is hemorrhaging internally. The American economy is not ill because it is undertaxed. U.S. corporations are taxed at one of the highest rates of the world's industrialized nations, second only to Japan.
This is an issue that still resonates with Americans if it's explained clearly and powerfully, but it must be tied to Obama's inexperience and his irrational class-warfare hostility toward corporations and wealth.
Barack Obama thinks raising taxes to enrich government is the answer to all our troubles when it will only weaken a severely anemic, overtaxed economy desperately in need of capital and tax relief.

Litigation between Sethi, Ashraf has harmed PCB, cricket in Pak: SC
The Pakistani Supreme Court observed on Monday that the proceedings between two former chairmen of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Najam Sethi and Muhammad Zaka Ashraf had caused immense harm to the board and cricket at the domestic and international level.
Justice Mian Saqib Nisar in a strongly worded 23-page verdict said that the individuals might have gained or suffered but it is the PCB which has been impaired excessively in all respects.
The 23-page verdict elucidated reasons why a two-judge Supreme Court bench had on July 21 ordered the government to appoint an acting chairman and a chief election commissioner to hold a fresh election of the PCB, The Dawn reported.
Sethi was then allowed to hold the post of PCB chairman by the court till the election.
The judgment was issued on an appeal moved by the Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC), which oversee sports activities in the country, against the May 17 Islamabad High Court verdict reinstating Ashraf as PCB chairman.
Justice Nisar observed that the people of Pakistan had great passion for cricket and earnestly desired and wanted to see the PCB emerging as a strong, independent, democratic and accountable institution.
But the smooth functioning of the PCB was seriously hampered with the litigation between the two former chiefs, the judgment said.
Justice Nisar said that the institution has been in doldrums and hiccups since the time of commencement of this litigation.

Authentic tribal tones.
The Meinl African Talking Drum is carved into an hourglass shape from a solid piece of Mahogany wood, and decorated with a carved motif. Two hand-selected goatskin heads are tuned with high-quality nylon rope. Traditionally, the talking drum is played beneath one arm, and held against the ribcage. The drum is then squeezed to "bend" the pitch while the other hand employs a curved striker.
Order this beautifully carved drum and speak out in that next drum circle.

This was on sale so i got it to ad to my collection,
I had to readjust the heads and the tension strings to get rid of the buzz,
What can you expect from future made?
Im happy though.
Comments about Meinl African Talking Drum:
It's a nice little drum, but not the most durable. I remember shortly after I started playing mine I was going for a higher tone but not above a reasonable capacity for the drum and the wood cracked on one end and the head tore slightly. I didn't render it unusable but you would expect a little bit more durable construction.

MythBusters: Crimes and Myth-Demeanors 1
Ventilation system climbing: Jamie tries using magnets, while Adam tries a suction cup system. In the end, they're able to make it through the shaft, but it sounds like someone hammering on the vent with a sledgehammer -- not so covert. Though they make it through, it's just too loud of an approach. BUSTED!
Laser alarm bypass: This is a pretty absurd myth to attempt, since laser security systems use an infrared beam. So blowing powder over the beams isn't going to show you anything. The MythBusters mock up a Hollywood-like system using laser pointers (with visible light) to attempt the tricks, though blowing powder over the beams is actually enough to trigger them! They also attempt to use night vision goggles, which show nothing, though the beams do slightly appear if the powder is blown over them (but again, the powder triggers the alarm). A laster bypass system works somewhat, though again it's nothing that's practical at all. BUSTED.
Getting through a glass door undetected: Is it possible to cut a circle into a glass window or door and suction-cup that circle out as to not disturb the rest of the door? Well, the MB's aren't able to do it, though I just have a strange feeling there's got to be a way to do it. Tapping a hole in the glass triggers the alarm, so they try drilling a hole through the door, which winds up shattering it. The shattered door doesn't trigger the alarm, so they just pick out pieces from the door, enough to get their hand through, and open the latch that way. Still, this is BUSTED.
Pressure switch bypass: Can you bypass a pressure switch, one that a piece of art is sitting on, with a simple piece of gum? Actually, they're able to do this with a few tries, though in the real world you won't get more than one try. They don't actually say if this was busted or not, but I think it is.
Cracking a safe: Can you crack a safe with a stethoscope? Nope, Adam doesn't hear a thing. How about drilling a hole into the side of the safe? Actually yes, Adam's able to do that and reach a scope in to see the tumblers and opens the safe. However, he does all of this in 40 minutes ... on a 5-minute safe. Plausible, perhaps?
For one final stunt, just for fun, Adam scales a 20+ story building with his suction cup system. Unfortunately he only makes it about five stories or so before he poops out and calls it quits. Plausible, but impractical.
Quote of the episode:
Adam: "Why, Thor the god of thunder is trying to enter my building!"

Silver Spur Construction of Draper began work last week on this year's phase of the city's $19 million infrastructure rebuilding. The project has begun in the first area, all streets northwest of the Main and Orchard Street intersection. Eventually, the project will upgrade water, sewer and storm drainage on all streets west of Roosevelt, north of Canyon and south of 10th North streets. The company said that there may be occasional interruption of service, but residents will be given 24 hours notice of any planned cutoffs. People are asked to keep their vehicles in driveways and off streets in the the affected areas. Workmen's intends to remain open seven days a week through the construction period, which is scheduled to continue until Halloween.

The Do-It-Yourself Cineplex
By KATIE HAFNER
Published: May 13, 2004
WHEN we decided to convert our garage into a small refuge for our teenage son, I had an epiphany. It wasn't a profound insight on the order of, say, special relativity. It was more on the level of "even organic produce needs to be washed." But it was an epiphany nonetheless.
Since we would be putting up new walls anyway, I suddenly realized that it made sense to think about wiring the room for a home theater.
In fact, the more I fantasized about watching a film on a large screen without the stress of finding a parking space or the distraction of hearing someone's candy wrapper crinkle in my ear, the more the idea appealed to me.
I knew, of course, that I should ask for permission before requisitioning somebody's space for my self-indulgence. So when I proposed the idea to my family, I emphasized the prospect of PlayStation 2 games played on a large screen: Grand Theft Auto in gigantavision.
One daughter, 13, just shrugged. The other, 10, was appalled. "That is so unnecessary," she said. But theirs was not the approval I was seeking.
"Awesome!" said 16-year-old Benjamin. Permission granted.
My husband, ever the generous spirit, readily agreed to the plan, despite his general apathy toward movies. ("A waste of time," he says.)
I entered the project with a minimum of audiovisual expertise, able at best to distinguish a speaker from a receiver.
Now that it is over, after four weeks of total immersion, I am not exactly a maven, but I can definitely tell you what a banana plug is, to say nothing of pivoting tweeters.
More important, I can tell you that installing a home theater yourself is no trivial undertaking.
My first step was to lay a few ground rules. One was to conduct thorough research but not drive myself crazy. I vowed to gather information from a handful of well-informed aficionados near my home in the San Francisco Bay area and ignore the rest.
I allowed myself to use the Web, but selectively. Product reviews and price comparisons were fine, but I steered clear of the dozens of online home theater discussion groups. Remember, some of these people are not merely opinionated fanatics, they're opinionated fanatics with too much time on their hands.
If you want advice, you're better off calling friends who have been through the home theater ordeal. Make sure they went through it recently, because like most technology, equipment and prices change almost weekly.
The next rule was to set a budget and stick to it. This sounds easy enough, but you'd be surprised by how quickly you can come under the spell of a well-meaning friend who is only too happy to spend your money, or a store salesman with a quota to meet.
I set our ceiling at $3,000. I knew I wanted to go a step beyond a $200 home theater in a box, but well short of the $10,000 or more that would buy a system that a true videophile would love.
"You're dreaming," said a professional home theater installer I know when he heard my budget.
He became more convinced of my self-delusion when I informed him of another decision I was standing firm on. I had decided on a video projector and a pull-down screen instead of a large-screen or plasma TV.
This was a bit of a no-brainer. Large-screen rear projection televisions were too bulky for our 12-foot-by-17-foot room, and I had yet to see one I found aesthetically appealing. Plasma TV's, although visually inoffensive - even striking in a MOMA kind of way - would eat up my entire budget and then some.
My installer acquaintance told me I would not be able to find a good projector for less than $5,000. Fortunately, I ignored him. A colleague put me in touch with a few of his electronically inclined friends, several of whom, it turned out, had built their own home theaters. All were happy to give advice.
Two people made a suggestion that I would not have thought of: scrap the screen and paint the wall flat white. Not only did this save us hundreds of dollars, it gave us the flexibility of projecting at any size.
Paul Mercer, a Silicon Valley programmer and audiovisual hobbyist of the sort who is perennially upgrading his equipment, had recently bought a new Sanyo projector - the PLV-Z2 - that sells for about $2,000.
Although it is an L.C.D. model, not one with digital light processing, or D.L.P., the hip projection chip technology, the resolution on the Sanyo is still extremely crisp and the color is excellent.
So eager was Mr. Mercer to get his hands on the Sanyo last December that he had a friend who was traveling to Tokyo bring one back for him. But by last month, Mr. Mercer was already onto the next new thing, a D.L.P. television, and he was ready to sell the projector. We agreed on a price of $1,700.
We drove to Palo Alto to see the projector in action in Mr. Mercer's own den-turned-home-theater and were mightily impressed. Billed as the projector for enthusiasts on a budget, the small nine-pound device, it turned out, would meet all our needs and then some. Its fan is quiet, and to shift the image in any direction, you simply move two knobs on the front.
Mr. Mercer must have sensed that we were novices, and he took pity. He began checking in with me periodically to see how things were going and to offer suggestions.

Come play #tdmpickup on Quakenet!
This thread enver gets old.
Is friggin' recruitin' now!
- Do you own a mutated granny that rattles uncontrollably while going to the grocery store?
- Does your girlfriend use a "Krankshaft no.5" parfum to spice up the day?
- Is your mother your brother?
- Are you sad, lonely, dead from the neck up?
- Are you displaced like a lost tooth?
If so, the DRUNK CLAN is for you!
You think I'm joking...I see it in your eyes man...wait till you hear this story of the snory:
Once upon a time, in a great nation that is United States of Potatoes, there lived a huge, powerful swamp monster. He was so tough that even his wife couldn't beat him although she broke every single rolling pin on his head.
He was deep, full of wickedness and rolling in his own gravy, walking amongst men like a demigod walks amongst lesser creatures. He was capable of beating Furby in a staring contest and honestly, he was even capable of causing mini-hurricanes to affect nearby towns if their stores lacked the hamburgers he craved for.
Swamp was his habitat, and many alligators dropped their pants on the mere sight of him, and the ones who did not became his wallet.
This strange creature got hold of a computer thingamajig early in the fabled days of 90s when the sun was brighter, aliens were not among us and Saddam Hussein still had a fancy car. He marveled upon this creation and said:
"If there's Internets, there should be Swampys."
So he did.
When a great game called QuakeLive was born, rising from the ashes of a proud and fabled heritage of Quake, the Swampy knew that this was to be his dominion on the internet. He loled at all the "pros" trying to win sassy tournaments. He once exclaimed to one of his minions:
"If I wanted to win a tournament, I would just walk there and consume them all".
So he kept a low profile. He let them lesser creatures think they wre superior. He allowed them to win. After all, why not? He was the Dark Lard, the fabled Master of Hamster. What could rival him? Small virtual Keels?
He began to create his dominion using a magical clantag and a will to conquer QL. Many people were recruited. Many got banned after they failed to please their master. Many got promoted. Many got degraded. But his dominion was rising, and the blood of its victims began to flood the servers with corrupted packets.
And today he wants YOU.

Movies - compiled by Sean P. Means
This week's movies offer a little magic, a nail-biting phone call, a chance at love, and a reunion with old friends.
The closest thing to a big-studio opening this week is "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," a hit-and-miss comedy starring Steve Carell as an arrogant Vegas magician who hits the skids when his act and his partnership with his childhood friend, Anton (Steve Buscemi) becomes out-of-date. There's some good laughs here, particularly when Jim Carrey unleashes his id as an over-the-top street magician (think David Blaine meets Criss Angel), but Carell is miscast as the boorish and clueless Burt.
"The Call" is, for the first hour, a crackerjack thriller that stars Halle Berry as an L.A. 911 dispatcher who fields a call from a kidnapped teen (Abigail Breslin) trapped in a car trunk. Director Brad Anderson ("Transsiberian," "The Machinist") keeps the tension building nicely, until Richard D'Ovidio's script goes completely off the rails in the final half-hour. (The review will be posted online shortly.)
The week's best movie is "56 Up," the latest in director Michael Apted's ongoing documentary series that follows a disparate group of Britons every seven years. The subjects have fairly well settled into their lives, but it's still fascinating to catch up with them and to hear them talk about politics, family, and the strange effect that being under Apted's microscope has had on them.
Lastly, there's "Yossi," a tender character study from Israeli director Eytan Fox, and a sequel to Fox's 2002 gay drama "Yossi & Jagger." That earlier film told of an Israeli army officer, Yossi (Ohad Knoller), in an affair with one of his soldiers who is killed in combat. In the new film, Yossi (still played by Knoller) is a cardiologist who goes on holiday and meets a young soldier (Oz Yehavi) who reminds him of his deceased lover. Knoller's sensitive performance makes this one worth watching.
Television - compiled by Scott D. Pierce
The World According to Dick Cheney (10 p.m., Showtime), which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, is as polarizing as the man it's about.
Fans of the former vice president will think it's too hard on him; foes will think it's not hard enough on him. Cheney fans will enjoy his rise to power; Cheney foes will applaud when he's portrayed as a liar who led George W. Bush and America into the war in Iraq.

Matthew Rhys: I Couldn't Pull Off a Fake Marriage in Real Life

Matthew Rhys probably wouldn't make as good of a spy as his on-screen counterpart.
While his character manages to keep up a fake identity and two marriages on FX's The Americans, Rhys says it's something he'd never be able to do himself.
"I get anxiety just playing a fictitious part on a drama series," the actor, who plays a KGB spy posing as an American, told reporters during a recent conference call. "When I think of those men who actually live a duplicitous life and have multiple marriages or partners, I don't know how they do it."

Develop Office Client Applications using Visual Studio
We have received feedback from several folks that they would like design one Ribbon by using the Ribbon visual designer, and then re-use that same Ribbon in more than one Office application. This approach makes sense. If my custom tab looks the same for each application, I really don't want to create the same Ribbon in four separate Office projects.
So I poked around to see if this was possible. I caught up with one of developers who created the VSTO Ribbon designer and he showed me exactly how to do it.
First, add a Ribbon to a VSTO project. Then, copy the Ribbon code files to a class library project. Finally, add a reference to the class library assembly from within any VSTO project and voila. Well, it's a tad more challenging. Here are all the detailed steps.
Create the Ribbon
1. Create a 2007 Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, or Word project in Visual Studio. For the purpose of these steps, create a C# project and name the project RibbonStarterProject.
2. Add a Ribbon (Visual Designer) item to the project. For the purpose of these steps, accept the default name "Ribbon1".
3. Save and close the project.
Create a Class Library Project
1. Create a new class library project in Visual Studio. For the purpose of these steps, name the project SharedRibbonLibrary.
2. Add a project reference to the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common.v9.0 assembly.
3. On the Project Menu in Visual Studio, click Add Existing Item.
4. In the Add Existing Item dialog box, browse to the "RibbonStarterProject" project directory, select the Ribbon.cs file, and click Add.
Ribbon1.cs is copied to the project directory and appears beneath the project node in Solution Explorer.
5. Double-click Ribbon1.cs.
The Ribbon designer appears.
6. From the Office Ribbon Controls tab of the Toolbox, drag a button onto group1.
7. Click button1 to select it.
8. In the Properties window, set Modifiers to Public.
Note: By default, controls that you add to the Ribbon are Internal. That makes them only accessible to code inside the same assembly. However, when you access these controls, you will be accessing them through an assembly reference. Therefore, to reach them from code, you must make them public. More on this soon.
9. Right-click the Ribbon designer, and then click Properties.
10. In the Properties window, click the RibbonType property, and then select the Ribbon ID's of the applications or Outlook Inspector windows in which you want the Ribbon to appear. For more information about this property, see the MSDN reference topic for the RibbonType property.
11. In Solution Explorer, right-click Ribbon1.cs, and then click View Code.
12. Change the namespace of the class to "SharedRibbonLibrary".
13. Repeat this step for the Ribbon1.designer.cs file.
14. Compile and save the SharedRibbonLibrary project. You can now use the resulting assembly in any VSTO project that supports the Ribbon.
Consume the Ribbon Customization
1. Create 2007 Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, or Word project.
2. Add a reference to the SharedRibbonLibrary assembly.
3. Add the following code to the ThisAddin, ThisWorkbook, or ThisDocument class of your project. This code overrides the CreateRibbonExtensibilityObject method and returns the Ribbon to the Office application.
protected override Microsoft.Office.Core.IRibbonExtensibility
return new Microsoft.Office.Tools.Ribbon.RibbonManager(
new Microsoft.Office.Tools.Ribbon.OfficeRibbon[] { new
SharedRibbonLibrary.Ribbon1() });
4. Add a new class to the project. Accept the default name "Class1.cs".
5. Replace the code in the Class1 file with the following:
partial class ThisRibbonCollection : Microsoft.Office.Tools.Ribbon.RibbonReadOnlyCollection
internal SharedRibbonLibrary.Ribbon1 Ribbon1
get { return this.GetRibbon<SharedRibbonLibrary.Ribbon1>(); }
Ok – You are done! You can now access the Ribbon and the button that you added to the Ribbon in your code. Lets try by handling an event in the consuming project.
Handle the Button Click Event
1. Add the following code to the startup event handler of project.
Globals.Ribbons.Ribbon1.button1.Click += new EventHandler<Microsoft.Office.Tools.Ribbon.RibbonControlEventArgs>(button1_Click);
2. Add the following event handler to your project:
void button1_Click(object sender,
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Ribbon.RibbonControlEventArgs e)
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("I can handle events!");
3. Run the project.
4. When the Office application opens, click the Add-Ins tab, and then click your button.
A message that says "I can handle events!" appears.

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The second suspect in a shooting that happened in February at a parking garage on the Las Vegas Strip has been arrested.
22-year-old Ariya Manoi was arrested on Nov. 5 even though police have been looking for him since the Feb. 6 shooting.
18-year-old Devante Jeffers was arrested shortly after the shooting took place.
The shooting allegedly happened over a disagreement between two teenagers and a job.
According to police, Jeffers and a person only identified as "Lee" at the time had gotten into an argument with two teenage boys and a girl as they walked down a street near the Hard Rock Cafe.
The argument was about whether or not Jeffers was responsible for one of the teens losing his job at a pizza joint.
The group of teens then asked another teen for a ride. She took them to the parking garage of the Showcase Mall.
As the group exited the elevator in the lobby, multiple shots rang out.
Three people were shot during the incident and two of them were critically injured. One of those, Jeremy Miller was shot several times.

CANTON - A group of Main Street business owners have banded together to form the Canton Merchants Association because they believe theres been a lack of focus on economic development in the downtown area.
Rainbow L. Crabtree, owner of Natures Storehouse, 21 Main St., told village board member Monday evening that in the coming weeks the group will be working to create a step-by-step action plan to make Canton a destination town.
As the merchants of downtown Canton, we feel that there has been a lack of focus on economic development in the village, Ms. Crabtree said. In order to survive, and more importantly thrive, Main Street needs foot traffic.
During the past few years the community has invested in a variety of beautificaiton and riverfront revitalization projects such as creaton of Heritage Park.
Also the Main Street reconstruction project that was completed in the fall resulted in improved sidewalks and intersections that make downtown more accommodating to bike and foot traffic.
These projects were necessary and have contributed to quality of life in Canton, but there is a missing piece, Ms. Crabree said. In order to take full advantage of the riverfront parks and recreational areas in Canton as a means of boosting our economy, we need a solid, vibrant downtown with a variety of shops and eateries.
The merchants would like the village and town to work with their association in developing a plan, she said.
Canton Economic Development Director Linda M. McQuinn said she has been working to bring more businesses to the community, partly by helping them access funds through the Canton revolving loan fund. Since the fund was created in 2007, she said seven businesses have received the funding to either open or expand.
Im currently workng with several businesses to bring them into Canton, she said. There are things in the wings.
Mrs. McQuinn said she was aware the merchants association was being created, but at this point she hasnt been asked to participate.
I think its a great idea. Id certainly be happy to work with them if they wanted me to, she said.
Ms. Crabtree submitted a letter to trustees that identified five other members of the merchants association including Dr. Adam Jaffe, a Main Street optometrist; Erin Alguire of Sposa Bella dress shop; John Gray of Gray & Gray Certified Public Accountants, Sylvia Kingston of Josies Pizza and Marilyn Mintener, The Pear Tree.

10 Great Reasons to Support Elephant Journal
One person can make a difference, and everyone should try. ~ John F. Kennedy
As an enthusiastic woman who gets fired up about everything from Pema Chodron to Larkburger, it is not unusual for me to fall passionately under the spell of various causes including the arts, social service, politics, green-living, natural products, and yoga.
Elephant Journal is no exception.
I'm drawn to it in the same, moth-to-a-flame way I am drawn to public radio and the New York Times. I know that the content places me in the midst of a like-minded community of people (although not too like- minded) that feels like home. I respect it, I value it, and feel compelled to roll up my sleeves and make the case for sponsorship.
And at $9 a month, it feels like a steal…
Here are my top ten reasons for supporting Elephant Journal:
1. It's saucy: Where else can you get 'sexy', 'naked', and 'supermodel' in a headline without having to hide your magazine under the bed?
2. It's irreverent: I loved John Pappas' article Dharma Drinks, Buddhist Brewers and Rapping Monks about the more unconventional and unique places to discover and share the Dharma.
3. It's reverent: As a baby buddhist, I look for new takes on the basics to strengthen and deepen my practice. Articles like Farnoosh Brock's Committment to Stillness: A Habit of Daily Meditation provides support through the obstacles I encounter.
4. It's uncomfortable: Gary Smith's Wool is Cruel article about the horrific treatment of sheep at the hands of Australia's wool trade had me cringing for weeks. How did I not know this and what should I do about it? Essential discomfort, essential awareness = essential action.
5. It's inspiring: I totally dig Joana Smith's lovely posts Candy and Gold. Unique imagery, stream of consciousness, precious insight. Makes me want to make some art.
6. It's laugh out loud: Waylon's random-late-Friday-afternoon link to the Handsome Men's Club snippet from Jimmy Kimmel had me in stitches. I don't watch TV really, so I usually miss this stuff.
7. It's unique: Wild to encounter an editor willing to throw himself under the bus for journalistic integrity. Go Waylon, go.
8. It's independent: I am hyper-aware that there are a only a few precious (precious few) media outlets left that are as democratic, informative, challenging, and inspirational as Elephant. I'm willing to stand up for that.
9. It's community creating: In the highly individualized, and somewhat isolating age of the internet, is there anything more important than community?
10. It's artsy: How about a little poem for the Earth, or some fecal matter art to push your boundaries?
It's all here. It won't always be here unless you stand up for it too. What are your top ten reasons for supporting Elephant?

[…] and I get gently teased, and rightfully so, for occasionally indulging in the art of traffic. What's that? You know: […]
Aaawww! I don't even know what to say. This is so thoughtful and sweet. It makes me realize that I have to keep doing this and that Elephant has to go on.
Thanks so much, Diana.

Roadrunner & Artist News
Clear The Red Tape
Posted on February 12, 2008Sacramento's Red Tape have inked with Roadrunner Records. It was a demo cut with Orgy guitarist Amir Derakh earlier this year that sealed the proverbial deal. "We told him to make it bump like it was being played in a low-rider," beams guitarist/mainman Jeff Jaworsky.
Known for a caustic, extremely high-energy punk-metal clusterbomb sound as well as gigs round the West Coast with the likes of Snapcase, Will Haven and Revolution Smile, Red Tape has established a fervent US West Coast following. An extremely rough and extremely limited debut LP, High Revoltage, hit stores shortly before its label New Age Records called it quits. Those who have the record - recorded in a mere two days - swear by it. The band's Roadrunner debut, due in 2003, promises volumes more.
In a time when pop is punk (and vice-versa), Red Tape is the real deal. Pure energy put to tape. Ferocious melodies and fiercer guitars. "We didn't fit in," says Jaworsky, also joined by bassist Twig Von Wussow and drummer Tim Davis. "But isn't the point of making music to put your own stamp on things? Hell, if I was going to do that, I might as well be playing cheap hotels in Vegas in an NWA tribute band!"
Straight outta Sacto, welcome Red Tape to the Roadrunner family...music from the above mentioned demo coming over the weekend...

Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - The Toronto Blue Jays activated third baseman Brett Lawrie from the 15-day disabled list on Saturday.
Lawrie landed on the DL in late May with a left ankle sprain. He batted .209 with five homers and 14 RBI through 37 games before injuring his ankle on a stolen base against Atlanta on May 27. A rib injury caused him to begin the season on the DL.
To make room on the roster for Lawrie, the Blue Jays optioned infielder Munenori Kawasaki to Triple-A Buffalo. Kawasaki has hit .213 and driven in 20 runs over 70 games with Toronto this season.

Corey Brewer, Wolves put Kevin Durant, Thunder into offensive disarray
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
MINNEAPOLIS -- If you had to boil down the Minnesota Timberwolves' biggest perceived weakness this season, the simplest answer would be defense.
Periodic lapses, primarily defensively, came close to allowing Orlando to spoil the Wolves' season-opener, but a strengthened effort eventually helped preserve an overtime victory.
Overtime was nowhere close to being needed Friday night.
For all the concerns about the Wolves defensively, they offered a dominant example of what they are capable of when their entire lineup is locked in.
Minnesota rarely wavered, plunging Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder into almost constant disarray. A 14-point first quarter lead swelled as high as 34 as the Wolves rumbled to a 100-81 victory.
As coach Rick Adelman addressed before tipoff, Durant isn't a guy who can be stopped, even if the absence injured star counterpart, Russell Westbrook, leaves the Thunder lacking a needed dimension. The only counter is to do everything possible to slow him down.
But if Durant can't be stopped, then Friday was about as close to it as it gets.
Hounded by a relentless Corey Brewer, Durant was left frustrated all night. It was an experience Durant has rarely experienced in recent years. The Wolves held the Thunder All-Star to just 13 points (4-of-11) - his lowest scoring total since Dec. 31, 2011 (12 points vs Phoenix).
Brewer, who was sought after by the Wolves in the offseason largely to address issues defensively, said his goal each night is to hold his man under 20 points, even if that man is one of the league's most dynamic players.
"So that was pretty good tonight," Brewer remarked, breaking into a grin.
Brewer was put on Durant from the get-go and the impact was almost immediate. Brewer tailed Durant up and down the court, doing whatever he could to prevent the Thunder from getting him the ball. Even when Durant had the ball in his hands, Brewer was right there to greet him.
Durant took only three shots in the first quarter, making one to finish the initial frame with five points, three of which came from the free throw line. Without his production, Oklahoma City had little else to offer. Getting balanced scoring throughout its starting five, Minnesota rolled out to a 34-19 lead that never diminished.
Brewer logged nearly half as many minutes as he did against the Magic (21 compared to 40), a product of the energy spent keeping up with Durant, but it didn't lessen the effect.
It did, however, leave him more exhausted.
"I'm pretty tired," Brewer said. "Denying a guy all night, you can get pretty tired. I'm just happy we came away with a win."
Second half letdowns have been an issue for the Wolves, brought to the forefront two days prior by the Magic. But as the night progressed, no relapse came. Momentarily, early in the third quarter, it appeared the Thunder had the opening to make a run. However, the impressively resilient all-around defensive effort stayed in place, as did the double-digit lead. The Thunder never got closer than 16 points the rest of the way.
Derrick Williams, in his first minutes of the season, followed Brewer's lead and zeroed in on slowing down Durant. In the second half, Durant was held to only two points (1-of-4). His lack of scoring, and the defense that aided in the result, was more eye-catching than the Wolves' ability to cultivate a daunting lead.
"We just wanted to force him into tough shots first and foremost," said Kevin Love, who recorded his second double-double of the year with a game-high 24 points and 12 rebounds.
"He's guy you just have to contain. He's going to be a volume shooter, and more often than not he's going to score at a very high clip and a very high level. I think the biggest thing was just getting the ball out of his hands."
The renewed defensive effort was made possible by a consistent team-wide investment. Brewer, however, was the point man in guiding it to fruition.
Adelman had left his starting small forward spot up to debate all the way until opening night before settling on Brewer. The 6-foot-9 forward's performance in two games, a combined 23 points to go with his output on defense, has more than validated Adelman's decision.
"I thought Corey really just set the tone early in the game and by denying him in the third quarter when we thought they would come out aggressive at us, especially Durant," Adelman said.
The Wolves may not have the long-term capabilities to be one the NBA's top defensive squads, but the result on Friday was a reminder of the dangers they could pose to opponents if their defense keeps pace with their high-octane offensive potential.

"We are going to Cliverton now," he said cheap true religion jeans to Mrs. Knifton, naming the county town, and warming himself at our poor fire just as pleasantly as if he had been standing on his own grand hearth. "You will stop to admire every pretty thing in every one of the Cliverton shop-windows; I shall hand you the purse, and you will go in and buy. When we have reached home again, and you have h ad time to get tired of your purchases, you will clasp your hands in amazement, and declare that you are quite shocked at my habits of inveterate extravagance. I am only the banker who keeps the money; you, my love, are the spendthrift who throws it all away!"
"Am I, sir?" said Mrs. Knifton, with a look of mock indignation. "We will see if I am to be misrepresented in this way with impunity.

Beyonce and Blue Ivy Wear Coordinating Cat and Mouse Shoes
Move over Posh and Harper Seven. Beyonce and Blue Ivy are quickly becoming the most stylish celebrity mother-daughter duo.
PHOTOS: Welcome to the world, Blue Ivy!
While out and about in New York City on Tuesday, the singer, 30, dressed her 2-month-old in metallic Little Marc Jacobs Baby Mouse slippers, which retail for $66. And instead of her signature sky-high heels, Beyonce wore leopard-print Charlotte Olympia "Kitty" flats paired with skin-tight, rolled-up jeans and a matching jacket.

And while Blue Ivy was mostly covered up by her Baby Bjorn, there's no doubt she was rocking an adorable onseie under there. See more photos of Beyonce and Blue Ivy in NYC.

Although the "Love on Top" singer reportedly has two musical projects plus the film One Hit Wonders on her professional slate in 2012, for the time being, she's loving the time off to bond with little Blue at the Tribeca loft and massive Scarsdale, New York mansion she shares with hubby Jay-Z.
"She's been totally doting on Blue," a source told Us Weekly.

Quit Tips #6
Quit Tips #6
Remember: Smoking cessation is not a single event in time, but a process that continues over a period of time and requires greater or lesser continuing expenditures of effort. You are training yourself to behave in a new way. This takes time, patience and above all practise. But the pay-off awaiting you is a big one. Think of breaking the cigarette habit not as denying yourself but as adding to your life--a new dimension of self- discipline and self-control.
The trick of tricks is to find the right personal incentive. To this we can return whenever we falter. There was always something wrong with my reasons for stopping in the past. My reason can now be told though perhaps in some cases it must remain a very private affair. I am simply doing what my doctor advises. Very unusual!!
Stop feeling sorry for yourself! How ridiculous! Sorry because you're breaking a habitg that might cripple you just at the time in life when yhou want to start living!
Keep foremost in your mind the thought that you "do not smoke." I found this very helpful particularly in those situations where the gestures of smoking were almost automatic. When you say to yourself in this or in that situation--"I am not a smoker," you can stop this before you even consider the possibility. The thought controls the act.
The most effective trick is to be out of stock.
I just convinced myself that nothing would control me unless I wanted it to.
