Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?

Somebody ought to tap county El Toro director Gary Simon on the shoulder. In no time, he's going to look like one of those emaciated Japanese soldiers pulled out of some Pacific island jungle in the 1960s, oblivious to the end of World War II.
It has been a month since voters passed Measure W, killing the county's plans for a massive international airport at the old El Toro Marine Corps Air Station.
Yet, Gary Simon—the county's head airport planner—is acting as if Measure W never existed. He's in Washington, D.C., meeting with the county's five El Toro lobbying firms, hired 14 months ago to get the feds to rally behind the county's airport proposal.
"The LRA [Local Redevelopment Authority] lobbyists in Washington, D.C., are still involved in advocacy and outreach activities related to El Toro," wrote LRA spokeswoman Michelle Emard in an e-mail to the Weekly. "[T]here are still relationships to maintain with various federal agencies. . . . Basically, it's business as usual."
Business as usual? One day after the March 5 Measure W vote, the Navy announced it would "honor the decision of Orange County voters in favor of non-aviation uses of MCAS El Toro." Following that announcement, Simon might have used that as an opportunity to post his r�sum� on Monster.com. He might also have fired the county's D.C. lobbyists: Hill & Knowlton; Higgins, McGovern & Smith; Fred DuVal; Glenn LeMunyon; and Rhoads Maguire Group. That action alone would have saved the county tens of thousands of dollars remaining on its $1.2 million lobbying contract.
There's also a legal matter at stake. The lobbyists are paid from John Wayne Airport revenues. The federal government has said such funds can be used for airport development only. Now, of course, there's no airport.
Even if Simon wanted to play it cool—betting that the courts might undo Measure W—he still has ample reason to fire the lobbyists: they failed to deliver. Despite all the money and expertise, the lobbyists never did get the Navy Department to turn over the base to the county.
Indeed, the lobbyists' chief product seemed to be sheer optimism. According to the monthly El Toro reports Simon sent the county Board of Supervisors, county staff regularly strategized with the lobbyists. It's not clear what the lobbyists told Simon, but Simon always had good news for his bosses on the Board of Supervisors.
His February 2002 report—detailing El Toro activities just weeks before the March 5 election—is a real gem. It shows staff and the lobbyists lost in their own fantasy, consulting on "future airport development appropriations" and "completion of federal environmental review process" as though Measure W's imminent and widely predicted victory was nothing to worry about.
"The lobbyists' work is over," said one El Toro source. "It doesn't make any sense that Simon has to consult personally with the lobbyists back in Washington—unless he's interviewing for a job."

This weekend (April 4-6), Las Vegas will be welcoming loads of country music fans from all over the United States to celebrate the Academy of Country Music Awards. The award show is being held at the MGM Grand on Sunday April 6th but the ACM Party for a Cause Festival is kicking off the weekend with a two-day "Fan-Focused" party featuring live entertainment, food and more.
The Party for a Cause Festival kicks off Friday with three country artists on the "Party Stage" and Rascal Flatts wrapping up the night on the "Main Stage". The festival continues on Saturday with more than 15 artists including Keith Urban headlining at 10:30pm.
The Festival will be the first special event hosted at The Linq, Caesars Entertainment's new shopping, dining and entertainment district. It's located on the Las Vegas Strip between our Flamingo/Caesars Palace Station & the Harrah's/The Quad/The Linq Station. Attendees of the ACM Festival can purchase a special 3-Day Unlimited Ride pass for only $22, normally $28. Purchase the discounted Monorail tickets at the following link: https://tickets.lvmonorail.com/acm2014/
For more information on the ACM Party for a Cause two-day event, visit the ACM Party for a Cause Festival website.
Tips for Las Vegas Locals:
We may be a little biased, but the best way to travel to the Party for a Cause Festival & the Academy of Country Music Award Show is to ride the Monorail. Traffic on the strip and parking around the newly opened The Linq may be a little hectic. We suggest parking at a nearby hotel and hopping on the Monorail to the Harrah's/The Quad/The Linq Station. Local single ride tickets are only $1 and can be purchased at any of our Customer Service Ticketing Offices on the Monorail Stations excluding the Las Vegas Convention Center Station
We hope to see you at the ACM Festival for a Cause at The Linq! With all the amazing live country artists, newly opened retail stores and delicious dining options, you'd be crazy to skip it!
Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel and follow us on social media. You'll be the first to know about all the excitement happening on the Las Vegas Monorail!

Sublime weather, easy access to the CBD, and a range of low-cost accommodation make Brisbane a home away from home for backpackers.
Brisbane can be experienced in fine style on a budget, with a vast array of places to stay. The city centre itself is the backpacking hub as it offers great public transport options – rail and bus stations within easy walking distance. Popular stopping-off points are Base Brisbane Backpackers Central, Base Brisbane Embassy, Banana Benders, Chill Backpackers, Tinbilly Travellers, Yellow Submarine Backpackers, and Cloud 9 Backpackers.
Young backpackers will find the YHA organisation a rich resource for information and travel advice. YHA Australia is part of the world's largest backpacker accommodation network and is a membership-based, not-for-profit association, with all proceeds going back to the hostels and services they provide. Brisbane City YHA, in Roma St, is a three-time winner of the Queensland Tourism Awards for best backpacker hostel in Queensland.
Bunk in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane Backpackers Resort (West End), and Somewhere to Stay (Highgate Hill) are just some of the many hostels and budget-accommodation available in the inner-city suburbs and further afield.
Once you have sorted out your place to sleep, an exciting world of discovery awaits you in Brisbane. There is no shortage of things to do – take in the city sights such as the Story Bridge; kayak on the beautiful Brisbane River or abseil down the Kangaroo Point Cliffs; cool off at Streets Beach in South Bank; explore nature trails; soak up our culture; catch some of the live bands or experience the food, rich in its diversity. Check out our top 10 free things to do in Brisbane for more ideas.
Brisbane is truly a backpacker's paradise, full of thriving urban villages, surrounded by activities and attractions in every direction. Less than an hour away, the white beaches and blue waters of Moreton Bay and North Stradbroke Island set the scene for swimming, surfing, snorkelling and sailing. Heading inland, there are stunning landscapes, fresh air and rustic charm of the Scenic Rim, Somerset, Ipswich and Lockyer Valley regions.
The legal drinking age is 18 and identification is required to enter licensed venues or to buy alcohol.
Smoking is banned in all enclosed public places and the Queen Street Mall.
You can drive if you have a valid Australian or foreign licence.
The State Library offers free wireless internet and wi-fi, and there also are free public-access computers in all libraries; free wi-fi is available in the City Botanic Gardens and New Farm Park.

Leonardo da Vinci (Italian, 14521519)
Pen and brown ink, over black chalk; 4 5/8 x 2 1/16 in. (11.7 x 5.2 cm); edges of sheet torn irregularly; lined
Rogers Fund, 1909 (10.45.1)
In this profile of an old man with sharply aquiline nose, downslanted mouth, and knotted brow, Leonardo has brought the "ideal" head almost to the limits of the grotesque. It is not likely that this is a portrait or caricature; it is more probably a conscious recollection of the ideal portrait of Darius by Leonardo's master, Verrocchio. Verrocchio's relief, sent by Lorenzo the Magnificent to the king of Hungary, is now lost, but the profile is recorded in a Della Robbia workshop terracotta relief in Berlin. A highly finished early drawing by Leonardo in the British Museum must have been directly inspired by the original Verrocchio relief. Popham dated the British Museum drawing about 1480, and placed the Metropolitan's sketch, where the powerful features of the imaginary Darius are recorded in a more schematized fashion, about 1490. Leonardo's truly grotesque heads, exaggerated works of pure fantasy, were, on the whole, done a good deal later in his career.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo thanks National Guard members Wednesday at Nepperhan Community Center in Yonkers for their help unloading donations for Thanksgiving meals for those in need.

The circuit breaker's back. But this time, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is making the pitch for the property-tax-cutting concept, so it's much more likely to launch. That certainly could help overburdened Lower Hudson Valley homeowners saddled with sky-high property-tax bills. So would another Cuomo pledge: finally tackling the stacks of unfunded mandates that saddle counties, towns, villages and school districts. Such regulations - some necessary, some pointless - drive up local costs, and therefore local property-tax bills.
Here's the basic circuit-breaker concept: A homeowner's income ...

Samsung Galaxy S III gets global launch, US to follow
updated 05:51 am EDT, Tue May 29, 2012
Samsung Galaxy S III now on sale in 26 countries
Samsung's eagerly anticipated Galaxy S III has been launched globally in 28 countries. Users in European countries including Germany and Britain can now purchase the jumbo-sized handsets, joining users in Middle East countries as well. Samsung says that it plans to roll out the Galaxy S III to users in 145 countries across 296 carriers by July, with North America rumored for a June 20 launch.
However the launch of Galaxy S III has not quite gone off without a hitch - the Pebble Blue version demonstrated at the phone's debut has been delayed due to manufacturing issues with the back panel. The most plentiful model in the supply chain is said to be the Marble White 16GB versions, although it is also available in 32GB and 64GB variants.
The international version of the Galaxy S III is powered by Samsung's own Exynos 4412 quad-core processor, which is based on the ARMv7 architecture. The chip is the first produced by Samsung on its new 32nm fabrication process, and has been shown to be the current performance leader in most benchmarks. However, the North American version is expected to pick up a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 'Krait' model, which is compatible with 4G chipsets.
The device centers on an over-size 4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD PenTile display and runs Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) infused with the latest iteration of Samsung's TouchWiz UI. It incorporates an eight-megapixel camera on the rear and a 1.9 megapixel front-facing camera. The Galaxy S III also takes advantage of its enormous frame, fitting in a larger than typical 2100mAh battery, which should give it solid battery life overall given that its processor is said to use half the power of previous models. One of its signature features is S-Voice, a voice assistant app similar in appearance and function to the iPhone 4S' Siri.
The Galaxy S III will get several months head start on Apple's sixth-generation iPhone, which is not expected to show until the fall. Samsung recently retook the number one position as the leading smartphone vendor from Apple courtesy of strong ongoing demand for its Galaxy S II. Whether the much larger Galaxy S III will equal the sales success remains to be seen, although Samsung claims to have received over 9 million pre-orders for the device from carriers ahead of its launch.

Crysis 3: Graphical Preset Comparisons & Performance Tips
Crysis 3 builds heavily upon the strengths of its predecessors while simultaneously stripping out their weaknesses. Notably, the Nanosuit's energy system has been completely overhauled so the game's protagonist, Prophet, won't have to worry too much about his energy reserves while he's busy kicking ass.
Aside from continuing the sci-fi plot where the previous game left off, Crysis 3 reintroduces us to an old face: Psycho, who serves as a foil for Prophet throughout the game. Fans of the Crysis series might know him as the lead character in Crysis: Warhead. In addition to a single-player campaign, Crysis 3 offers a lot in the way of multiplayer options, with several classic and innovative new modes.
Crytek is known for their attention to graphics detail and high-fidelity visuals, and Crysis 3 serves as a flagship for the studio's powerful CryEngine 3, which already powers several other games. The game makes full use of DirectX 11 and features a wide range of settings that'll allow you to make the most out of your gaming PC, putting it at a distinct graphical advantage to any game on the console.
Before you read on, make sure you have a computer capable of running the game. Be aware of Crysis 3′s minimum, recommended, and high-performance PC requirements if you plan on playing the game, as specified below:
Minimum Specs
GPU: DirectX 11 graphics card with 1GB Video RAM
Recommended GPU: AMD Radeon HD5770
CPU: Dual core CPU Recommended CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.7Ghz (5200+)
Memory: 2GB Memory (3Gb on Vista)
OS: Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
Recommended Specs
GPU: DirectX11 graphics card with1GB Video RAM Recommended GPU: AMD Radeon 5870
CPU: Quad core CPU Recommended CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 805
Memory: 4GB Memory
OS: Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
Hi-Performance Specs
GPU: Latest DirectX11 graphics card Recommended GPU: AMD Radeon 7970 Improved Performance with SLI / Crossfire
CPU: Latest quad core CPU
Recommended CPU: AMD Bulldozer FX 4150
Memory: 8GB Memory
OS: Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
Graphics Options – Basic Settings
Crysis 3 offers a large number of graphics-related settings, many of which can substantially alter how the game looks and plays. Depending on your system and your personal preferences, you may have to trade performance for visual quality or vice versa. To change how the game looks, simply access the game's graphics options from the main menu.
If you don't care to do too much tinkering, Crysis 3 alows you to choose from four preset configurations listed under "System Spec". They include Low, Medium, High, and Very High. You can watch a video with a detailed comparison of these settings below. Full credit goes to ResetLoad for putting it together.
Even while the game is set on low, it looks gorgeous, albeit without the complex shadows offered at higher settings. You'll notice a bit of texture pop-in and LOD transitions on the lower settings. On very high, even the grass casts complex shadows—it's a setting that we wouldn't recommend unless you're playing the game on a high-end graphics card.
As you can see in the video above, that aside from a few issues with texture detail the game looks great on Low and even better on Medium. The framerate dips slightly on high, and absolutely plummets on Very High without offering very much in the way of improved visuals. I'd recommend playing the game on the Low setting and seeing how well it performs before moving up to Medium, and then High. If the game framerate drop is unacceptable at High, just play it on Medium and you won't notice too much of a difference. For whatever reason, the ripple effect caused by bullets hitting the water tends to glitch on the High and Very High settings.
In addition to the system presets, you can choose how the game performs anti-aliasing, with options ranging from FXAA to MSAA 8x. I would recommend setting the anti-aliasing to TXAA Medium (2TX), which does a serviceable job of removing the jaggies. As a post-process, FXAA doesn't affect performance as much as the other options, but it smears the entire scene. If you think you have everything figured out, you can experiment with Crysis 3 even further with the dev console commands.
Advanced Graphics Options
Beyond messing around with basic presets, Crysis 3 allows you to fully configure your graphics options. You may wish to consider lowering your resolution in addition to tweaking any of the advanced settings if you experience a low framerate at the Low or Medium presets.
Game Effects: This setting determines how long corpses remain in the world. Moderate performance hit.
Object: This setting determines the quality of all objects in the game. Moderate performance hit.
Particles: This setting changes the quality of the particle effects, such as bullet fire and sparks. Moderate performance hit.
Post Processing: Changes the quality and quantity of post processing used. Heavy performance hit.
Shading: Determines the quality of the shaders. Moderate performance hit.
Shadows: Determines shadow quality. The higher the setting, the more realistic shadows look. Heavy performance hit.
Water: This setting determines the quality of the water, including ripple effects and splashes. Setting this to "Very High" causes liquid surfaces to be heavily tessellated. Moderate performance hit.
Anisotropic Filtering: Determines the quality of the texture filtering. Minor performance hit.
Motion Blur Amount: This setting is best set to "low" unless you like the feeling of speed while simultaneously hurting the game's performance. Heavy performance hit.
Lens Flares: As the name suggests, leaving it on makes the game look like a J.J. Abrams movie. Turning it off removes much of the game's cinematic elements. Minor performance hit.

I just downloaded this game off of steam yesterday, and for some reason i cant launch the game. It is very frustrating after waiting 5 hours for it to download. Everytime i try to launch it, after around 5-10 seconds a Windows error message appears. It says "Napoleon: Total War Has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem." [Loading bar - Then crosses over to next part of error message] "Napoleon: Total War has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if the solution is available." It gives me the option to close the program too. I have no idea why this is happening, but it has happened to one of my games before. One of the files was incorrect (By the way i didn't download the game from steam) or something and i had to get a new one. I have a vista, which i know may present a problem.

It used to be nearly everyone in their age group said "I do," but now more and more Americans under 34 are saying "I don't" -- or at least, "Not yet."
Census figures show a third of men between 30 and 34 have never been married. About 22 percent of women that age have never tied the knot. That figure is four times what it was in 1970.
Experts say this is further evidence that young people are focusing on careers before settling down. And more and more couples are living together before walking down the aisle.
The change isn't just increasing the number of young singles, it's also increasing the number of single parents. Last year, 35 percent of all births were to single moms. That's up from eleven percent in 1970.

Nuance buys Swype for over $100 million [U]
updated 09:05 pm EDT, Thu October 6, 2011
Nuance may get Swype keyboards to boost mobile
(Update: confirmed) Nuance has reportedly bought Swype in a deal worth over $100 million based on new tips late Thursday. The deal would support its existing ownership of the T9 keyboard system with an advanced, full QWERTY layout. Uncrunched in getting word of the deal didn't get Nuance's intentions.
Neither party has officially acknowledged the deal so far.
If completed, the deal would make Nuance the default provider of custom keyboard layouts on many phones, whether a basic device using T9 or Android hardware using Swype. It might help Swype's scale, although its keyboard is already available on many top-tier smartphones from Samsung and others.
A buyout would come just a day after Nuance is thought to have scored a key deal for the iPhone 4S to power the voice recognition system behind Siri. If so, Nuance now has a footprint in Android and iOS at the same time and more influence on getting its software into either platform.
Update: Nuance has confirmed the deal.

Christopher Hart knew his way around a restaurant when he started as a waiter at Joe's Crab Shack's Henrietta location in August 2011, as he'd worked five or six restaurant jobs prior.
There's always time spent busing tables or cleaning up at the end of the night. But as the months went on, his work became anything but typical for a waiter, and included expediting meals to dish washing, Hart said. And staff who get paid less than minimum wage, but supplement their income with tips were spending increasingly long portions of their shifts doing such work, Hart said.

Alabama polls open at 7 a.m. Tuesday for primary
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for Alabama's Democratic and Republican primary elections.
Election officials remind voters that they will need identification to vote Tuesday. That can include anything from a driver's license to a utility bill. Voters will also have to pick one primary. Voting in both is not permitted.
The state's chief election official, Secretary of State Beth Chapman, anticipates voter turnout of 35 percent to 38 percent. That would be in line with the turnouts from similar primaries in 2002 and 2006.

Yellville-Summit's Reid Johnson (11) tries to track down a bad snap on a punt attempt, along with West Fork's Jonathon Edens (88), on Friday night at Tiger Stadium in West Fork.
- Filed Under
West Fork turned a one-touchdown lead into a three-score advantage in a span of less than two minutes at the start of the second quarter, and the Tigers went on to cruise past the Yellville-Summit Panthers, 35-0, in 3A-1 Conference play Friday night at Tiger Stadium.
The first half was plagued with turnovers for the Panthers, who threw two interceptions and had two botched punt attempts - one of which was recovered in the end zone for a West Fork touchdown.
Wyatt Montgomery, who led West Fork's rushing attack with 73 yards on 15 carries, scored on the Tigers' first possession of the game, but both ...

Some explaining to do in Minnesota
Posted on: September 3, 2010 12:12 am
Edited on: September 3, 2010 1:57 am
You could almost hear the entire state of Minnesota screaming at the TV set Thursday night: "How in the %#@* do you run out of pitchers in September ?!?"
There were some extenuating circumstances, but it's still pretty much inexcusable that the Twins got caught short-handed in the bullpen two days after they had the ability to import as much pitching depth as they wanted thanks to roster expansion.
Starter Scott Baker left the game against Detroit after two innings with elbow pain, and the game went extra innings. So atop the mound in the 11th inning appeared Brian Duensing -- who started and threw 103 pitches on Tuesday in the opener of this very series, and promptly gave up the go-ahead run Thursday. The Twins came back and tied it, and Nick Blackburn, the scheduled Friday starter, pitched the 13th -- and promptly gave up what would be the winning run.
The Twins used five relievers between Baker and Duensing, two of them for less than an inning. Matt Capps and newest Twin Brian Fuentes were unavailable with medical issues. So why in the world would a team in a pennant race not have half its Triple-A pitching staff dispatched to Minneapolis? I count seven pitchers on the 40-man roster who aren't on the 25-man, and all were available to be called up.
Obviously it's not every day you get two innings from your starter and play into the 13th, but with so much at stake and so many people being paid to cover all the bases, the Twins should have had extra arms available. There are going to be some tough questions for Bill Smith and Ron Gardenhire after this one.

They have had their bogey before. Gardy will really mess something up in the postseason.
If the Vikings don't win a Super Bowl this year (not saying they will, I think they have a shot), it will be a LOOOONG time before they do. Childress isn't that good of a coach.
Havn't seen tonights lineup yet, but Matt Fox better not get a lame one in his debut. I remember when Adam Johnson made his MLB debut, pitched great, but the Twins only had like 5 regulars in the line up. Lost like 2-1 or something.

Good article.
Gardy doesn't deserve to have the fans watching his back anymore. The guy may be great in the clubhouse but he's not a good manager of the game. I hope I am wrong, but I don't think the Twins will ever win the World Series with him at the helm

Gardenhire actually tends to keep starting pitchers in the game one batter too long, but in this game he had no choice, Baker reported an arm injury after two innings. Gardy was ejected for protesting horrendous calls by the second base umpire well before the pitching chaos really took hold. Bad pitching, bad fielding, shaky umpiring, injury, inability to bunt, poor hitting in key situations....lots of unusual things came together to create an awful game for the Twins. Still it took 13 innings to lose....

Over-managing has become as prevalent as over-paid relief pitchers. As a Sox fan, I can say that Ozzie is responsible for about 6 loses this year because of poor management of his relief staff. But to be honest, this is the first time I can ever recall Gardenhire doing something so blatantly bad that it cost them the game.

I agree with the article but I think Gardy derserves the benefit of the doubt here. I am not sold on Smith yet but Gardy is the backbone of the team and the fans have his back.

Ex-Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko to join Timberwolves
Minneapolis • With a flurry of activity that was widely reported but not yet confirmed by the team, the Minnesota Timberwolves took part in a three-team trade that cleared salary-cap space and came to terms with veteran forward and former Utah Jazz player Andrei Kirilenko on a two-year deal.
Just another offseason in the NBA.
David Kahn, Wolves president of basketball operations, continues to rework his roster, ending the Wes Johnson era in Minnesota in the process. Finally reportedly the Wolves were able to pull off a big move not long after failing to pluck Nicolas Batum away from Portland.
News broke early Wednesday afternoon that the reported trade involving the Wolves, New Orleans and Phoenix was done. An Associated Press story out of New Orleans reported that the Wolves had sent Johnson and his $4.3 million salary he the fourth overall pick in the 2010 draft and a first-round draft pick to Phoenix. In return, said the report, the Wolves got guard Jerome Dyson, retiring center Brad Miller's $5.1 million contract and two second-round draft picks from New Orleans. The trade sends 7-foot center Robin Lopez and forward Hakim Warrick from Phoenix to New Orleans.
Then, later Wednesday afternoon, Yahoo! Sports reported, citing league sources, that the Wolves were finalizing a two-year, $20 million contract with Kirilenko. This is the big move fans have been waiting for since free agency began. If it comes to fruition, it would indicate that much of the Wolves' off-season heavy-lifting might be done. Kirilenko, 31, played 10 years in the NBA all in Utah before signing with CSKA Moscow last season.
Also Wednesday, the Wolves announced the signing of Russian guard Alexey Shved, a Kirilenko teammate last season.
In Kirilenko, the Wolves get a veteran who should provide an upgrade at the small-forward position, a position coach Rick Adelman badly wanted addressed.
On a teleconference with the media to announce the Shved signing, Kahn declined to comment on the reported trade. "I can't," he said. "Nothing has been consummated at all." He also declined to speak about Kirilenko.
That said, the addition of Kirilenko means a major shift on the Wolves' roster, while at the same time ending the career of another high Wolves draft pick.
The 6-foot-9 Kirilenko brings a well-rounded game to the Wolves, though he did have some injury issues in his final seasons in Utah. He is a strong defender, a good rebounder and an able play-maker. In 10 seasons with the Jazz, he averaged 12.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists. Playing for CSKA Moscow last season, Kirilenko averaged 12.3 points and 5.1 rebounds in Russian League play.

Written by: Robbie Ettelson
Not me, obviously. But was there a particular incident or album that made you rip all your Word Up! posters off your wall and never listen to a particular rapper ever again? For some, it was Big Daddy Kane's Prince of Darkness LP. For others, it was KRS-One taking out PM Dawn (if you're one of these foolish folk, please fall into your nearest volcano).
Dallas Penn offers: "Only dude I ever had faith in was Ice Cube and I think after I saw Boyz N The Hood I was like 'Fuck this fake ass rap shit!'. Remember 'Burn Hollywood Burn'? The next thing you know this dude is doing movies. I learned then that revolution is only the act of revolving – spinning around in the same place."
Gotty answers: "First artist that comes to mind is Pac, when the whole East-West thing popped off. On a personal level, it pissed me off that he had so much so-called animosity towards someone…but wasn't doing shit about it except rappin'. He tried to kill you & you made a song about it? GTFOH. As time passed, of course, we learned more of both Pac & Big's sides of the story, and even further, we know the end results."
As for the Unkut take on this whole thing? Even though I was hardly a Slim Shady fanatic, he made some entertaining shit for a while, until I saw something so horrendous that I damn-near tossed my cookies. That's right – his live performance with Elton John at the the Grammy's. I won't deny that Stretch Armstrong's favorite musician ever made some classics back in the day when he used to go on year-long coke binges and dress-up in duck costumes, but the EJ who's seen twinkling the ivories in this clip is nothing more than a fat, boring fruit with a stupid earring. The fact that Eminem does a duet with this fudge is bad enough, but it would almost excusable if it actually sounded half decent. Instead, we were subjected to 'The Rocket Man' freestyling piano riffs and butchering the hook of an otherwise awesome song. Just as you think it can't get any worse, they then proceed to hug and hold hands! From that moment on, David Faustino regained his position as my favorite white rapper.

I actually felt Kane fell off with-Taste of Chocolate myself,I mean,"It's hard being the Kane"was nice…but the rest".P.E. took a tumble with-The empire strikes black,but those Pete Rock remixes for"Shut'em down"and "Nighttrain"saved the day.And I know I may lose some cats with this but I wasn't feeling any G.Rap albums after-4,5,6,I mean-Rated XXX was cool,I thought it was foul that Cold Chillin released it the same day that G.Rap released-4,5,6,…and that they used all those tracks from the vaults,and gave that project the kind of push and budget they never gave G.Rap when he was on the label….Crazy.Comment by Roger Jones 12.18.08 @
I agree with the Nas/oochie wally one. Also, Common and the whole Electric Circus fiasco. Oh yeah, and anything Mos Def did after Black on Both Sides.Comment by BIGSPICE 12.18.08 @
I'm waiting to see how many comments until someone says "808's And Heartbreak."
This is less mainstream, but I was a huge fan of Jungle Brothers until "J Beez Wit the Remedy" came out. I was completely on the "WTF?" tip. After 3 listens to make sure it wasn't just me, I was off them completely, never to recover.
"Straight Out The Jungle" is still ill, though.

Dallas probably went nuts when Ice Cube did "Are we there yet" and a sequel! On another note, leave Elton John alone!Comment by Kiana 12.18.08 @
j beez wit the remedy was pretty fuckin dope. It was just over most peoples head production wise. Ur not alone i had to listen to that tape mad times but eventually it started making sense.that joint tip remixed on that album is freakin incredible.
However the Ultimate fall off song of all time is….ta daaa….STREET DREAMS…BY NAS…WTF WAS THAT ABOUT? AFTER ILLMATIC? cmon…and he never recovered from that bullshit.
^^ hey yo i'd take 'street dreams' and 'oochie wally' over that horrendous hot mess nas did with ginuwine..wtf was that about?!Comment by dj blendz 12.18.08 @

RUN-DMC – Back From Hell
that new jack shit broke my heart!
To many albums, but that Prince of Darkness by Kane was definitely the first time I felt the ground shake from a rapper falling off.
Another falling off moment was getting The Source mag with Foxy Brown & Lil' Kim on the cover back in '96. I just couldn't believe people actually thought they had mic skills and wrote there own lyrics.Comment by DRLROCKWELL 12.18.08 @
what about when feminem's bodyguards tried to protect him from Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at one of the award shows? what a feg…Comment by JP 12.18.08 @
the saddest part is blendz is right…damn "a tear drops my eye"..
Roger Jones ur bein a lil too tuff on cats lol jeez what did u like? Souls was a definite fall off the map album
I kinda love Group Homes second album
k-solo had cant hold it back produced by sam sneed so i was feelin that but yeah ur right…that album had some joints on it though i cant front…jewelz was crack rock..Jealous ones Envy was freakin ncredible…That joint with Rae and he introduced us to the terror squad i mean the real terror squad Pun and Armegeddon. all in all u do make a case…oh yeah ownerz was such a disappointment.
Ice Cube and Nas gave me so many moments, and I just kept giving them chances, especially Nas, as I feel Cube is completely done at this point.
For Ice Cube it was the predator album where he spits 2 bars of Das EFX's style "had to get away quigidy quick". Whats crazy is the only time I have ever heard that song was when it first came out in 1992, but I remember him doing that and being so dissappointed, that the memory is etched in my head.
Then he went from being in the NOI to making Friday and talking about pigfeet and hogmog in the movie. That was earth-shattering for my young pro-black mind.
Nas made Nastradamus. I listened to the tape front and back and wanted to give it back to the store I bought it from. The beats, rhymes and concepts were more wack than anything else. I was so disappointed, especially as he was all that we had in the fight against roc-a-fella taking over the game.Comment by Kai 12.18.08 @
I actually threw my friend's copy of Nastradamus out of a moving vehicle on the Belt Parkway. He still thanks me to this day.Comment by BIGSPICE 12.18.08 @
mine was Ice Cube. I wasn't a super fan like some of my boys but I thought he was dope. I brought all the albums, even as I started to like them less. Then when he did the whole Wessyde Connection/Common diss thing. Then the hollywood explosion and then still to be in "hip hop" mags with ice grills like he's still "running the streets". Plus all of the people who accused him of biting and/or style/song jacking: volume 10, king sun, cypress hill… It was just too much that I gave up and everytime I happened hear something after that I was never convinced to give him another listen.
To be clear, I have no issue with him being successful in hollywoord. I dont even care he makes silly comedies now but don't do that then try to convince me you are still a super gangsta.Comment by kevin beacham 12.18.08 @
I actually dug Kane's Prince of Darkness. But it was a far cry from his first 2 efforts so he did fall off in that respect. The second Nas album is OK on its own, but compared to Illmatic, yeah, that's falling off too. How about Black Sheep? That second album wasn't a good follow up to that first banger. Hey DAS EFX fell off real hard. The first album was incredible lyrically and beatwise, but the beats on their second album were TRIPLE WACK. WIGGITY! lol Slick Rick too. All his albums after that Great Adventures joint were weak. He fell off too, but he can tour off that first album to this day!Comment by DOC SAMSON 12.18.08 @
Nice & Smooth-Blazin' Hot
Queen Latifah after Black Reign
Mc Lyte after the Ruffneck shit
Tony Touch after The Piecemaker
Jealous Ones Envy is classic!!!!
the Black Sheep & J Beez were pretty wack though..Din't like T.I.M.E. either or the Fu-Schnikins after F.u.
"Jewelz" is a classic album to me.
"Ownerz" is kinda weak, but still great compared to a lot of other shit that came out in that timeframe.
I also go with "Nastradamus" as far as my biggest dissapointment. My brother and myself started supporting Nas albums after that fiasco.
"Ni*ger" is pretty dope though plus i copped that.

saga of a hoodlum was dope but maybe im just a huge trag fan
brand nubian had some joints on it like word is bond cipha wit my boys and that joint wit busta…
3 xdope had the no words remix
everything else on ur list? Hot Garbage
If you ever wondered what a rapper slitting his wrist in studio sounded like Nastradamus was it, the title track was the worst use of an EPMD track ever.
Big Daddy Kane's appearance in the Don't Curse video; the purple shirt and the cast was pretty much the beginning of the end.
@ mercilesz-That Trag follow-up was wack w/the exception of that"Grand Groove:remix"and those what's your name"Skeff anslem and Large Pro remixes-neither appeared on the cassette though.I thought that Brand Nubian:everything was wack because they went"gangsta"because that was the fad at the time,and I was still open on"In God we trust",I love EST and The Dope crew outta Philly,and that"No words"remix is my joint,…but that project came a little too late and too wack.I got lots more though.

As we've covered most of them already, how about Redman and "Doc's Da Name"? After 3 albums where he could do no wrong this shit felt like a paint by numbers effort compared to the previous material. Red can still rock the mic but I just felt he never hit the same 'highs' from this point onwards in his career. Either Reggie fell off slightly or I grew up?Comment by Hooligan 12.19.08 @

"I remember how large SuperRhymes was when he fell off"…
-It was painful to witness a veteran like Masta Ase stumble in that battle vs. an unknown dude from VA (BoogieMan).
-De La's post-Stakes "if you cant beat em, join em" albums.
-Seeing Kane in the "To be your Man" video was brutal too. Didnt he dress as Dick Tracy in one scene?
-Nice n Smooth in the New Kids on the Block Video
-Pharcyde fucking with David Silver from 90210
-Primo working with "huge fan" Christina Aguilera
I agree with redstarr Raekwon's 2nd cd was complete and utter trash.
Inspectah Deck's debut solo had no wins except for the Rec Room single.
@Brooklyn Lo-I thought that,"Show an Prove"track was fire",Man Deck came with verse after verse.I thought that"Power of God"track was nice too,but yeah…after that Rec joint…it was down hill.
@Keatso-I forgot those De La soul joints that followed,"Stakes is high"I actually just got back on board with"Impossible Mission".Comment by Roger Jones 12.19.08 @
Kurtis Blow – Kingdom Blow
Whodini – Open Sesame
Boogie Boys – Survival of the Freshest
UTFO – Skeezer Pleezer (although, I liked Lethal)
When my friend played me the tune that KRS-1 did with R.E.M., I was like 'What the fuck is this all about?'. I think I remember reading in an interview that he himself looked back at that as a bit of a bad moment.
And I loved Wu Tang's first two albums, but they haven't really done more than a couple of decent tunes since Wu-Tang Forever, and that was 11 years ago.Comment by End Level Boss 12.20.08 @
Cube fucked up with Westside Connection. Wasn't a horrible album, but it symbolized stupidity.
I'll still listen to Nas, but I realized that he will never make a good album again once I heard I Am.
Common started on the road to suck-hood when he made "G.O.D." and "Retrospect for Life" on One Day, but Be was just depressing. This was supposed to be him returning to form after his experimentation, and he was struggled to sniff mediocrity.Comment by gordon gartrelle 12.20.08 @
@Bas-Yeah,OC: Jewelz.
Man I remember OC telling the Source just before"Jewelz"was released,that he was still HipHop…just with the direction of his second album it was time to"eat"(sell-out),and sadly the project got no real attention.Don't get me wrong,I love OC-"Times up",Born 2 live",constable",but I would never had even bothered with his 2nd album if Bumpy,DJ Premier,Big L were not guest artist.Word Life.Comment by Roger Jones 12.20.08 @

The day we let in Krunk into Hip Hop that was the end, not to mention 'down down baby…cocoa puff rap'. This has led to the demise of rap, now we have artist like jeezy, TI,Cham.,mike jones and a whole bunch a bullshit rappers claiming they the king of this and that.This list can go on forever.Comment by Woody Allen 12.21.08 @
Uh, second Gravediggaz anyone?
I'd rather die in a pit full of snakes!
How terrible Mic Geronimo's second album was killed me a little inside.
Second gravediggaz joint too – man i anticipated that one Soooooooooo much. Then it was like "oh you HAVE to be fucking kidding me".
The puff daddy remix of step into a world hurt me too. Completely ruined 'I Got Next' for me. "i know lets layer a bunch of classic breaks over the top of each other, while i talk like a poof all over it". Shit still makes me mad.
I was still with Nas up until the Street's Disciple double LP. Then I was like, "Fuck Nas" but then I gave him another chance with Hip Hop is Dead and then I was like "he's still putting out bullshit" and then I passed on his latest album completely. I still haven't heard any of the songs except for that one about fried chicken and the one about Fox News. I've completely given up on Nas ever coming out with another dope album and it's a damn shame because he's incredibly talented. The only way he could get back to being real dope is if he had some people like the ones who come to this site executive produce his next album, enlisting classic producers and forcing him away from hyper-materializm, corny ass love songs and useless collaborations.Comment by crusher 12.22.08 @

Last but not least D.M.C's – Checks Thugs and Rock N Roll….haaa ha w t f ?Comment by Dro 12.22.08 @
how about:
DITC-Wildlife and pretty much every other release from related artists after that like Show & AG Live Hard, everything by Diamond after Hatred, Passions…
M.O.P. after Warriorz. Always thought they were kinda hit and miss even before that
Freddie Foxxx-Konexion
Rakim's solo albums
KRS after I Got Next and that already had some garbage on it
all Large Pro albums since his first album never really came out
everything by J-Live after his first album
I never thought there'd be a day that the Ra would ever make an album that sucked … then he went and made 'The Master'! The first solo album was a winner IMO, but that second LP was awful! Ra's verse on The Watcher 2 and R.A.K.I.M were a welcome return to form … but then every other new track I've heard is a pale shadow of what Ra once represented. He had a good run though … 5 LPs of pretty consistent quality.Comment by Brock 12.23.08 @

Speaking on Red's album 'Docs Da Name'… I was at the album release party in this old NYC club called Tramps and some dude was wearing the Redman mascot costume all night just wylin' out. Redman never showed up though.
I told this to my homey at DefJam the following day and he told me that WAS Redman in the mascot costume. After that it all made sense.
Ice Cube precipitous fall from hardened street sage to children's B-movie matinee foil was too dramatic for my psyche. The rhymes he crafted for NWA's debut album had me rioting on Virginia Beach at the 1989 Greek picnic.
I was all in, and then I had nothing.Comment by Dallas 12.25.08 @

I was at that jam back in 01.The 'Doc Da Name'party, it was f-ing awesome. The chicks thought me and my boy from school were the NERD. They played NORE's thug out track by the neptunes and bitches started circling us…HHHHHAAAAAAHAHA…special thanks to Akko
as a life long cypress fan and with less expectations as each album came out it's a toss up between the rock portion of skull and bones and when i first heard "what's your #" . in both cases the bar went down a little… The new album coming this new year should exceed. Supposedly primo did a song with them!Comment by newUnkutFan 12.31.08 @
first off i'd like to say that i respect them for at least making an effort to put out material.
Nas only has Illmatic and Stillmatic, everything else is just bad, album-wise.
O.C.'s second album was the nail in the coffin. Then he became Mush. MUSH? WTF!!!
Royce Da 5'9's career choices.
Rakim when he told us "Don't Sweat the Technique".
Then he followed up that folly with signing to Dre's label. A death sentence. Oh…then he performed a "new" song at the VH1 Honors. Painful.
Onyx- When i saw them perform before the first album dropped and these guys were like 5'4″. You can't talk all that tough stuff and be a munchkin.
Biggie- when he got shot. Actually the 2nd album sucked.
Tupac- when he got shot. He played the fence pretty well when it came to putting out ignorant and thought provoking music.
50 Cent- exploiting the fact that he got shot.
Eminem – if i was him, i would've make ammends with Elton John behind closed doors but to do it in public and for it to not sound good? bad move. Plus i think he ran out of steam by his 2nd album.
Dr Dre – when he left his masters at Death Row and Daz got his masters and sued Suge.
oh yeah its supposed to be about music…
UMC's second album
Butterfly (of Digable Planet)- his solo album.
Akinyele's career
EL P- anything after the Company Flow album just doesn't sit well.
Showbiz and AG – one of my producer friends says that Showbiz's production was crazy at the time but i couldn't get past AG's rhyming.

"Anything by Agallah or whatever he wants to call himself"
^You mean 8off the Assasin from Purple City?
That reminds me, when he worked with PMD that was a definite disappointment…as was anything PMD did with the E.
Which leads to the literal falling off of Erick Sermon-when he jumped out that window, right around the height of the gay rumors.
1. Kane's 3rd album. I was In college. I was broke and I scrambled to get the $12 for his c.d. That m.fer still owes me.

Opening day might be more than three months away, but that hasn't stopped the Rockland Boulders from making moves for the 2013 season.
The Boulders traded outfielder Keith Brachold to the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks of the American Association for outfielder Jon Gaston and pitchers Eric Massingham and Kevin Fuqua Tuesday night.
Gaston, a seventh-round draft pick of the Houston Astros in 2008, batted .277 with 17 doubles, 12 home runs, 41 ...

American country music artist, Kellie Pickler, cooked up a vegetarian storm on ABC-TV's "The Chew," before her performance in Las Vegas later this week.
Pickler said that she chose to live a vegetarian lifestyle after being exposed to the inhumane ways animals are exploited. In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres on the "The Ellen De Generes Show," Pickler said that she became a vegetarian after seeing animal cruelty videos online, and "thought it was horrible." Also, she said that since becoming "a vegetarian and replacing the junk I was eating with whole foods, like raw veggies, nuts and edamame, [m]y energy shot way up!"
Sometimes it is difficult to maintain a healthy vegetarian diet especially when being on the road, but Pickler has managed to solve that problem by bringing along her own stove. She finds that cooking anything vegetarian, such as pasta, zucchini, and squash is "pretty easy."
Pickler told Doug Elfman in an interview that she grew up in North Carolina, where it wasn't always easy to be a vegetarian. "It is a crime from where I am from, but I didn't tell anybody. That's why they kicked me out. Where I'm from, to be a vegetarian, you're an alien. Everybody thinks you're nuts. They think something's wrong with you," she said.
She says that she finds it difficult to try to reason with people who are determined to defend their meat-eating habits. "You're wasting your breath saying anything back. You just shake your head and go, 'Whatever you say,'" explained Pickler.
She continued, "When people ask me what kind of 'diet' I'm on, I'm like, 'I don't like that word. It's not a diet. It's a lifestyle.' Everyone finds the right lifestyle for them. For me, this is what works. This is me at my best."
