As the summer of 1983 came to a close, a long-struggling singer-songwriter was having his first chart success with a song he composed for Laura Branigan. How Am I Supposed to Live Without You was a No. 1 adult contemporary hit, reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, and served as the springboard for 30 years of success for Michael Bolton.
Boltons career has featured more than two dozen hits (nine were No. 1 adult contemporary records, including his own version of How Am I Supposed to Live Without You) and seven platinum albums. He has also written hits for Cher, Barbra Streisand and KISS. In 2011, Bolton became a video sensation when he starred as Captain Jack Sparrow in a collaboration with Saturday Night Live comedy trio The Lonely Island. The video has been viewed nearly 112 million times on YouTube.
Bolton, who will perform Sunday at Tioga Downs Casino in Nichols, has had a busy 2013. He released his memoir, The Soul of It All: My Music, My Life, in January, and unveiled a Motown covers album, Aint No Mountain High Enough: A Tribute to Hitsville USA, in February. He also sings on a track from rapper Kid Cudis latest album, Indicud.
Question: Before we get to the new album and memoir, lets talk about your live show. What can fans expect at the Tioga Downs concert? Youve got quite a catalog of songs to choose from!
Answer: Expect most of the greatest hits Ive written like How Can We Be Lovers, Soul Provider, Said I Loved You, Time Love & Tenderness, How Am I Supposed to Live Without You, and some of the greatest hits that Ive fallen in love with and recorded in honor of my musical heroes, and which have been so important to my own career like Georgia on My Mind, Dock of the Bay and When A Man Loves A Woman.
Q: Are you certain songs or hits that you never tire of singing? Are there any non-hits or album tracks that enjoy singing live and placing in the set list?
A: What attracts me to a song and performing it is a combination of the concept and message it communicates, and the melody and melodic range expressing a certain idea and emotion. Once I find a song that fits, I never tire of singing it. It could be something fun and rockin like Sweet Home Chicago that really lets the whole band shine or something more intimate like Nessun Dorma which allows me to pay homage to the greatest tenor Lucianno Pavarotti.
Q: Hits such as How Am I Supposed to Live Without You, How Can We Be Lovers, Steel Bars and Soul Provider have a timeless quality to them. They dont sound their age. Instead, they sound like they couldve been recorded this year. Why? Is it the quality of the songs, the production, or the fact that your voice remains as strong and recognizable as ever?
A: Thats the best compliment. I can only hope that my songs outlive me as the greatest art outlives its author and I plan on being around a long time! I always pour everything I have into singing a song but the material has to be great for it to truly connect with an audience and Ive worked with the greatest composers around multi-Grammy-winning songwriters and producers like David Foster, Diane Warren, Mutt Lange, Walter Afanasieff, Rudy Perez (and) Desmond Child, and they all contributed to making these songs timeless.
Q: Your new Tribute to Hitsville album is terrific. Its even more interesting because you were covering Motown songs long before cover albums became popular. Your first albums for RCA (in 1975) and Columbia (in 1983) both featured Motown covers. Why now for this album and what is it about these songs that are special to you?
A: Not many people know my history as a singer and songwriter that before I did pop, I was doing rock and that even before that I was doing R&B. As a kid I was greatly influenced by rhythm & blues not only musically, but socially. More recently, Ive become focused on Detroit and Hitsville specifically, where so much of that music was created. I love these timeless songs and iconic artists like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson and so many more. While there may never be another moment of musical greatness quite like that, I do want to remind people of the spirit behind this music, and faith in the American Dream.
Q: The original song on the album (the should-be-hit Gotta Keep Dreamin) fits right in between Aint Nothing Like the Real Thing and Nowhere to Run. How did that song come together? Was it written specifically for the project?
A: Its great to hear that you connect with Gotta Keep Dreamin, which I wrote and produced with the very talented Dave Tozer, Andrea Martin and Ron Pope. That song was written as an anthem for Detroit, where Hitsville is located. Before recording this album, I took several trips to Detroit to immerse myself in the catalog of music from Hitsville and to meet with many of the original writers, producers and artists. As much as I was so inspired by the musical legacy that still thrives there, I was also struck by the devastation thats hit Detroit over the past decade. But there are people there that are very committed to bringing it back, and Dreamin is also about rekindling hope.
Q: You duet with two great, young singers on the album Kelly Rowland and Melanie Fiona and have sang with legends ranging from Pavarotti to Ray Charles to Patti Labelle. Is there someone out there on your duet wish list who you have never sang with?
A: Id love to record and perform a duet with Rihanna, Adele or Kelly Clarkson. They are a few of my favorite contemporary artists.
Q: I would suspect that casual fans who read your memoir will be surprised to learn that you had six failed record deals before the age of 30. Your story is truly one of perseverance and never giving up on a dream. How important was it to take those lessons and present them in an inspirational way that all readers can relate to?
A: My hope and intention in writing the memoir was exactly that, to make it relatable. There have been so many amazing things that have happened in my life, and many of them before any success hit. People or signs supported and encouraged me to keep following the dream. That is a message I hope to leave with readers, after learning about my journey, to believe in themselves and their dreams and to never give up.
Q: How did the collaboration with Kid Cudi on Afterwards come together? Is this another example of Captain Jack Sparrow bringing you to a new generation of artists and fans?
A: Apparently Kid Cudi was a fan of the Jack Sparrow video and actually talked to Andy Samberg about what it was like to work with me. (Lonely Island members) Andy, Akiva, Jorma and I all had such a great time together, always in stitches laughing and pushing the creative boundaries, and we are planning on doing much more. So Cudi reached out to me and invited me onto his record, at the tail end of recording. We spent the first several hours in the studio just talking and getting to know each other and he is such a great person and dedicated artist. We really connected and are talking about collaborating again.
Q: As someone hip to new music and artists (after all, you wrote with Lady Gaga before she became THE Lady Gaga), are there new songs and acts that have caught your attention recently?
A: Im really lucky because as I tour the globe, from China to Germany to Brazil to South Africa and everywhere in between, I get to meet these gems in each country that the rest of the world may not know yet but who have huge voices and are great artists. I always get excited to discover a new artist and hopefully find ways of recording and performing together.
Q: Lets say the book-publishing company wants to update your memoir 10 to 15 years from now. What do you hope will go in the as-yet-unwritten last chapter? What is there left for Michael Bolton to accomplish?
A: Theres so much. As Ive said, Im just teeing off on the back nine. Im in development with some very talented writers and producers on a few TV shows, both scripted (comedy) and non-scripted. Im developing a book for Broadway while also considering a few existing roles Id love to play. Im expanding my charity to take an international dimension of protecting women and children at risk. Im looking to tour with a few friends and also thinking about the concept for my next album.

Cascades Park Trail
Report a problem on the Cascades Park Trail
The Cascades Park Trail officially opened May 17, 2012.
The trail is asphalt, 8 feet wide, and parallels Old State Road 37 North from Lower Cascades Park north past the Lower Cascades ballfields to the traffic signal at North College Avenue. There are pedestrian crossing signals for both North College and North Old State Road 37. The trail crosses Griffy Creek via a pedestrian bridge, and ends at North Old State Road 37 at Stone Mill Road.
The Cascades Park Trail was constructed with State Trail Grant funds from the Indiana DNR Division of Outdoor Recreation. Plans for the Cascades Park Trail call for it to connect Acuff Road to Lower Cascades Park, and Miller-Showers Park to Lower Cascades Park. Funding for the additional phases of trail construction has not yet been identified.

An evolution of sorts is taking place at the Red Monkey Downtown Lounge, 25 W. Alder St.
Anyone who's been inside the business in the past many weeks likely has noticed the removal of art on the walls and the running commentary about upcoming changes on the crawler that accompanies videos shown on the lounge's television screens. Changes are afoot for the decor and appearance, service and food, officials say.
The business, owned by Juston Watson, has already unveiled a new logo.
The changes are being made over time, and part of the transition is an emphasis on the fact that the business is more than a weekend nightclub, operators say.
The business will continue to be a hotspot for fun, with dancing on Friday and Saturday nights. But there's also emphasis on its menu, which is being made over, and on the Monkey as a destination for lunch and dinner. In the next couple of months, operators say, more changes will be made to the menu, marketing and interior to reflect the business's profile as more than a nightclub.
Updates on the changes are available at the Red Monkey's Facebook page.

Officials from the Monroe assessor's office will begin visiting some area homes in the coming days to make sure the city's property tax data is up-to-date.
To start in the next week or two, the initial focus of the field work will be about 1,200 to 1,500 properties in the area of Toll, Roessler and Lavender streets, and in the area south of the River Raisin between S. Monroe and Roessler streets.
It's the first time in nearly 20 years that such field observations will be conducted. The point is to verify data gathered in past visits and update property record cards as necessary, according to Samuel Guich, city assessor. The data on the cards help form the basis for city tax bills.
Each property will be observed, which will involve a city worker knocking on the door, interviewing the owner or tenant, walking around the house, and taking a digital photo. The visits will be conducted during normal business hours. "We probably won't go out in the field and start ringing doorbells before probably 9 or 9:30." If no one is home, a letter with instructions will be left, he said.
Mr. Guich said the field observations shouldn't have a great overall affect on tax bills because the taxable value of a property is limited by law to the increase in inflation. The only way the property value would change is if the field observers find something that was added or demolished on the property without the city's knowledge.
"If there was omitted property, we'll add that. Conversely, if something was demolished that we weren't aware of, that will lower their taxes," he said.
Those doing the observations will be in marked city vehicles and have identification cards with them. Questions about the process may be directed to the assessor's office at 384-9170.
Mr. Guich said that although his office passed the State Tax Commission's review of assessment city procedures and records last year, his office intends to do field observations of 20 percent of city properties each year on a five-year cycle in accordance with recognized assessment standards. He said the state encourages the field inspections on a five-year cycle.
Such field reviews will carry more weight in future state reviews of assessment procedures, he said.
The areas in the first round of the planned visits are numbered 7, 42, 43, 44 and 45 on the city residential neighborhood map on the city's Web site at www.monroemi.gov. At the Web site, click on "About Monroe" and then on "Property Sales" and scroll down to "Neighborhood Residential Map."s

You've worked hard for years. You have made sacrifices. Your family recognise you…..just, but you have built up a business of which you are, rightfully, proud.
Now you feel that it is the right time to sell it on; to cash in your chips
What should you do now? How do you get the best price? How do you keep disruption to a minimum? What about tax? What timescale are you looking at? How do you avoid running up unnecessary fees?
With some careful planning and good housekeeping you should be able to achieve the following goals:
Get the best price
Minimise disruption
Avoid wasted costs
Minimise tax on the sale
To be able to achieve these goals you should be looking at a 3-5 year plan. During this time you should "groom" the business for sale. This will include the following:
Distance yourself from the business
The acquirer wants the business not you. This doesn't mean that you will not be required to assist in the handover or that there may be an element of staying to achieve an "earn-out" but the buyer needs to ensure that the business will function without you.
Monthly financials
The buyer is probably going to be a bigger business than you. They may not appreciate that you have all the figures up in your head. They will expect to see:
Management accounts: hopefully bearing some resemblance to the year end figures!
Cash flow forecasts
Sales order pipeline
Active credit control
Such systems will make a big difference to the way your business is perceived. Improve your corporate governance and you will attract a greater interest from potential buyers.
Financial results
The value of a business is in its future earnings potential. Often this is estimated using historical figures. Certainly accurate historical figures will give credibility to projections.
Consider having the year end accounts audited if not done already.
Clear any unreconciled balances that may have been carried for years.
Reduce the number of accounting estimates. Carry out a stock take instead of looking across the stock room and saying "ooh it's about……"
Remember, the buyer will invest reasonable sums of money in financial and other due diligence. If there are weaknesses or problem areas in the financial records they will be reported back to the buyer who may well use them to negotiate the price downwards.
Remove the weaknesses now so that the results in the 2 or 3 years leading up to the sale will be untainted.
Proprietary expenditure
Many businesses incur costs which, while legitimate, may well be influenced by the owner manager. These could be the type of car used for the business, the type of entertaining, the employment of family members. The new owners may have other ideas and may not incur these costs giving rise to greater profits.
You should think about changing these costs in order to reflect the true profitability of the business leading up to the sale or, at least, keep records of these costs to present to the potential buyer with a view to them being adjusted for in the purchase price.
Review overheads
Remove those that are not needed for the successful running of the business.
Review accounting policies
For example, consider disclosing Research & Development costs as capital rather than as a revenue expense.
Clean up the balance sheet
Sell surplus assets. Scrap obsolete stock. Make realistic provisions for doubtful debts.
Buyers will not pay for valueless assets.
Do you own the freehold? If so, do you want to retain this?
Are you looking to renew a lease? If so, be flexible, keep short if possible.
Does the business own an investment property? Buy-to-let, holiday home? Consider removing it from the business.
Dissenting shareholders
Not everyone may be as enthusiastic as you to sell their shares. Have full and frank discussions now not at the end when the deal is about to go through.
Renew lucrative ones. Allow unprofitable ones to lapse or even cancel them. Take advice early from your solicitors to ensure they can remain with the company if there is a major change of ownership.
Ensure that the right amount of investment is made into the management team but beware of costs associated with this.
Tax advice
Get your accountant on board early. They will be able to advise you on the tax position and consider what action may need to be taken to mitigate the tax.
There are, of course, other considerations but for the sake of brevity I have kept to those that, in my view, have the biggest effect on achieving those 4 goals.« Back

Dirty Vagabond Ministries!
I have been volunteering this past year with an amazing ministry called Dirty Vagabonds! These kids have been my family this year. I feel so blessed to be a part of this incredible ministry. I know God has placed us both in each other's lives for a reason.
We went on a retreat to New York. It was a beautiful bonding experience and the kids truly have stolen my heart. They need so much love and support too, as they grow and develop a relationship with Jesus. I feel blessed to be able to be a friend and a mentor and minister through these relationships.
I meet up with a few girls during the week to talk, pray, and to be a support. I love this ministry soo much and I am asking for your support. So i'm going to let you in on a little secret, I am not a runner. I have never been a runner. BUT I am trying.... and I will finish this marathon becuase these kids are important to me and I believe in this minsitry, for I have seen first hand that kids lives are changing. I mean, I witnessed 8 kids get baptized over Easter. PRAISE GOD! Please prayerfully consider donating to Dirty Vagabond Minsitries. There are a few people who depend on fundraising to support their families and they commit their time to working full time for these kids. We need your help. Please support! Thank you!

I think there is a bug in 'Approve comments' commands.

Admin please check!
I think there is a bug in 'Approve comments' commands.
As it either shows 'You did not select any valid comments' or redirecting to any google page.
Admin please check!
First off, two items/issues have been confirmed and replicated.
Issue #1: You did not select any valid comments
This is actually not an issue. You were seeing this message because the comments you were attempting to select had already been published. This is due to the fact that we had originally opted not to enable comment moderation in the vbulletin configuration.
I've enabled the global option in vbulletin that allows users to decide whether or not they wish to enable moderated blog comments. By default, this does not automatically enable commenting on each blog. Each blog has individual switches/options for this in the blog control panel.
Issue #2: Attempts to delete both blog entries and blog comments will redirect the user to seobook.com
Delete attempts initially direct admins/mods to http://www.netbuilders.org/blog_inlinemod.php?b=131. Please note b=131 is the post ID. This is the usual Soft Delete vs Physical Removal + Reason form. The form appears to begin processing the user input, then redirects to one of the NB advertiser URLs (i.e. seobook.com, parked.com).
On a side note, the same delete mechanism is used for forum posts, has been tested, and appears to work.
I have no idea where this is coming from. I don't have access to the server so I'm going to have to talk to Will about how NB advertiser files are served. One of the files may have replaced a blog file dependency.
Last edited by m42; 10 June, 2009 at 15:55 PM. Reason: Further testing found issue with deleting blog entries as well.

Edited vBulletin: Usergroup: Registered User settings to allow the following actions:

Issue still occurs.
As an admin I am able to delete both entries and comments, I still encounter the error, and there is a delay prior to the deletions, but it eventually works.

The National Weather Service reports that York Airport in Jackson Township has received about .75 inches of rain so far today. They are not aware of any reports of flooding in the area, particularly around the Susquehanna River.
Previous report
The National Weather Service is urging those who live along the Susquehanna to be vigilant this weekend as ice jams and an expected inch of rain into Saturday evening could cause some flooding.
"It's hard to predict what the ice will do," said meteorologist Craig Evanego. "It's something to keep an eye on."
The river is running higher than expected this time of year, mostly because of the large amount of ice clogging its flow, he said. The ice jams up and acts as a dam, eventually releasing a large volume of when it breaks. The backed up water also could cause tributaries and smaller streams that flow into the river to flood.
The weather service issued a flood watch for areas around the river, starting Saturday night and running into Sunday. The service forecast up to an inch of rain could fall in the area Saturday.
So far, he said, there haven't been any problems reported along the river. In Harrisburg, he said, the high river stages have swollen some tributaries. The Swatara Creek in Dauphin County, he said, had reached its banks.
"At this point," Evanego said Friday afternoon, "we're telling people who live by the river or have interests along the river to keep an eye on it."

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Alaska's congressional delegation applauded the Supreme Court's decision Monday that Americans have a right to own a gun for self-defense anywhere they live.
The ruling struck down a total handgun ban in Chicago and a suburb of the city, but the Court suggested some restrictions may be permitted.
The Court held that firearm possession is a fundamental constitutional right, and that courts across the country are therefore empowered to strike down state and local weapon laws that infringe on this basic right.

Anne Hathaway is definitely one of the most famous people to publicly sing 'I Dreamed A Dream' - but it's an honour she shares with Britain's Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle. However, she says that she's inspired by Su-Bo - and even enjoyed watching the clip before she knew she was going to play Fantine.
Anne told OK! Magazine "I think [Susan] is adorable, and her story was heart warming.
"Before I knew I was going to play Fantine, I'd watched that clip when I was having a low day, and it just made me feel so wonderful."
She added "the thing about it was of course her, but the thing that's also fun is to watch Simon Cowell's mind racing, as a producer and an adding machine. I just loved that clip!"
Anne revealed that being involved with Les Miserables was challenging and rewarding, but extremely tough. "It was really exciting to take this iconic song, which is so beloved, and find a way to put it through the prism of film - and that meant having to go very, very, very deep inside myself to some uncomfortable places."
However, she explains that acting is a difficult business. "That's what we do, and those are the jobs that you remember and those are the ones that make you grow."
We wonder what's scarier - playing a dying prostitute, or being told what to do by Simon Cowell! Could Anne make a cameo on America's Got Talent, and would she hold her own? Tell us what you think!

How Ron English Spent his April Fool's DayJuxtapoz // Monday, 04 Apr 2011
Ron English always has a bit of wit and political satire in his work that makes it capable of a bit of April Fool's Day joke. We know we are about 3 days late on this, but Ron went to the US-Mexico border somewhere and placed a few very politically astute pieces.
As BoingBoing notes, "Unfortunately this piece of sociopolitical satire is going to backfire because the Tea Party will find out about it and demand that it be permanently installed at every border crossing."

My friends new horse
This is my friend and her new horse Whisper. Whisper is a 13 year old rescued TB she will be 16hh once she gains weight. i dont know much info on her yes we know she is skinny so please nothing negative... this horse is actually a sweety she fell asleep with her head on my chest.
Here she is riding Whisper
Here I am riding Whisper (go ahead and say whatever u want about my riding i dont care i know im awful)
Looks like that house found a good home. Nothing negative, but she might want to hold off on riding until the horse puts on some weight. He probably really isn't feeling up to par .
i agree and i keep telling her that but she doesnt listen to me :{ she forgets that i rescued a standard bred that was in the same condition whisper is in i wasnt alowd to ride for two months till he gaind weight(he was a very easy keeper
I love the shape of her head, side profile! Lovely can't wait to see her fat!
i know :} nd please believe me you guys i have tried to warn her not to ride her horse yet but she thinks she over powers me just cuz shes one year older then me -_-
She looks beautiful, BUT, it almost seems abusive to me for a girl that heavy to be riding such an underweight horse...my idea of rescuing a horse is to give her a kind loving home and the care she deserves, not to continue to treat her poorly.
Please encourage your friend to think of the horse and NOT herself!
It actually makes me very upset to see that.
I'm sorry, I'm going to speak up here as the horse's well-being and health is compromised here. Actually, I'd call it borderline abusive.
This horse needs to be in a field with 24/7 feed until she gains weight, and nobody should be riding her until that time. Handling, grooming, hand walking sure - this horse doesn't need so much as a feather on its back until she's healthy.
She looks like a sweetheart, and is obviously is a very forgiving soul.
That saddle is going to cause her MAJOR issues as well.
i know :{ im realy trying but her mother is letting her ride as well
im realy trying to get her not to ride trust me

A kitchen remodel is an upgrade that can add lasting value to a home. Many homeowners are throwing everything they can afford into these projects. Take for instance the kitchen featured in Better Homes and Gardens above. We see granite countertops, energy-efficient stainless steel appliances and recessed LED lighting, to high-tech touch control faucets and the commercial grade kitchen sink. Some are even going as far as to add on garages with remote entry. No, not the two-car kind with skylights and wall-to-wall storage, but smaller appliance garages to house all the small appliances and other commonly used items in the kitchen.
But, even if you're just planning a minor kitchen remodel, which is a smart investment considering you can expect to recoup up to 72 percent of the cost if you decide to sell your home, adding an appliance garage to your plans will help keep clutter in check and give your kitchen a much cleaner look.
Take a look at some of the cool appliance garages we found around the Internet.
Kitchen designs are trending toward more open, casual floorplans that create a communal space for cooking, dining, working or entertaining. Along with its farm table, two dishwashers, 6-burner stoves with commercial-style range hoods, bright splashes of color and tons of natural light, this enviably modern kitchen we spotted on Dwell also has multiple appliance garages that keep unsightly clutter from compromising the clean lines of the space.
Appliance garages are usually custom features you would want to build into the design of your kitchen remodel, but you can find kits that allow you to add one existing cabinet and countertop. Here are two examples we found on Better Homes and Gardens of the different door system options. The tambour door garages like the one on left (and in the top image of this article) are a popular choice, with a shutter that operates much like a roll top desk. The garage on the right features a lift system door design that is versatile and works with a variety of door sizes. Whichever you choose, make sure whoever installs your appliance garage includes ample electrical outlets.
This little mini appliance garage The Sky is the Limit Interior Design posted on Houzz is the perfect place to park a toaster. A slide out tray is also a nice feature that makes it much easier to get the toaster out of the garage in the mornings.
Designing an appliance garage that is concealed behind the backsplash is definitely one of the coolest ways to incorporate this space saving feature into a kitchen. This mirrored backsplash garage, featuring remote controlled sliding doors, was designed by Mick de Guilo for House Beautiful's Kitchen of the Year display at Rockefeller Center. Read more about this kitchen at theKitchn.
Thinking about renovating your kitchen? At The Home Depot you'll find the best brands of cabinets plus all the help you need to plan and install your dream kitchen. We can also help you update your kitchen by refacing your existing cabinets in a variety of finishes to give your kitchen a new custom look.

Is Tupac Shakur really dead?
Is Tupac Shakur really dead?
There are so many holes in this conspiracy, i believe until all the secrets come out no one will know if he really faked his death or not. only the people who know know. I am constantly pulled in both directions about wether he really is dead or not. Tupac Shakur wanted to be something. I believe whole heartedly that he got wrapped up into some dirty shit that he didn't want to be in. I believe whatever he was wrapped up in was killing his essense. Yes his music started to swing to the dark side a bit. which could be a reason he may have faked his death to draw himself out of that. Tupac was a motivational speaker for sure. I wish sometimes that he is alive and would show his face again and change the direction of the hip hop world. Today's hip hop world is nothing like he wanted it to be. Tupac was a soldier fighting for what he believed in. Maybe he believed that he would be stronger through death, maybe he went out like a soldier, dying for what he believed in. Like i said no one will know for sure until it is time. Until then all the Tupac fans, keep it real. And all you haters out there, keep on hatin. You can kill a persons body but you can't kill a person's words once they've been heard.
Idk if hes dead or alive, but i think hes alive, iv found out alot about what happened, it cant of been the associate of the crip he attackd or the crip, the time frame is to small, i think snoop dogg is the one pac trusted the most, he said he was coming bak a ghost, then the hologram, listen to the song ghost its strange but makes sense. Idk if suge knight orchestrated it or helped him but i think a simple drive by is not what happend, because three men died that night around the corner from where pac ''died' with multiple gun wounds
i do still believe that pac's alive. because rel g never dies.
how can u say hes dead but get mad if someone say hes not dead its the same evedience and the same facts just cos they say hes dead do u believe it vise versa
if u open ur dumb ass eyes you will see it
the man said himself "when the secrects start to come out youll know why i did what i did " pay attention jackasses give it some benifit of doubt and ull understand if something smell fishey ITS BECAUSE IT IS RETARDS
Think about it Tupac has came out with a lot of music since is suppose death.
yes the great rapper is gone. you always want to hold on to something good but when god calls, let it go!
2Pac has gone!!!
Yes, the great Tupac is no longer with the living. Can we please let this man rest in peace.

OCT 6 — FAM: The fault lies in all the President's men
Amran (email@example.com)
Hi Shebby! I don't love or hate you but I believe you are a nice guy!
a) What do you think is the main obstacle to the success of Malaysian football? Be honest please. Can the FAM President do more?
b) In a football match, if a goal is "scored" by a referee by means of a deflection (any part of his body), will that be considered a goal? Please elaborate why, whatever your answer may be.
Shebby Says:
a) To be honest, the President is a figurehead who relies on sound advice given by the various committees. Unfortunately, if the committees have incompetent members then the President can only endorse their recommendations. If anything, I think the President has been too kind in tolerating these officials to the detriment of football.
b) A referee is considered part of a game, so the goal stands. If you remember the beachball incident in the Premier League last season between Sunderland and Liverpool, the referee was wrong in awarding the goal. He should have blown his whistle, remove the "foreign object" and restarted the game with a drop ball.
Mazlan (email@example.com)
Hi Shebby,
Would like to know your personal opinion on Liverpool FC, on their performance tactically.
And if you have the chance to give some words of advice, what would you say?
Shebby Says:
Liverpool has become so used to playing the 4-2-3-1 formation under Rafa Benitez. Unfortunately for Roy Hodgson, he has not been strong enough to say this is not the way I want to play! So, Hodgson is now struggling to impose himself and his tactics on the team. Hence it is getting from bad to worse. Go back to basics, 4-4-2 and take it from there. And strengthen the very creaky defence.
Aizuddin Danian (email@example.com)
Dear Shebby,
I'm a Newcastle United fan.
This season, I'm happy to see them back in the Premiership. However, I've been terribly frustrated by their inconsistency.
Smashing Aston Villa 6-0 at home, beating Chelsea and Everton away, then losing to the likes of Blackpool and Stoke at home (both games of which you would have thought they would win or at least draw given their away form). What gives?
Thanks, mate. Keep up the good work.
Shebby Says:
Well Aizuddin, with Spurs losing at home to Wigan and Liverpool losing at home to Blackpool, Newcastle are not the only team to be inflicted with this malaise! However, for your lot, it is going to be extremely difficult to adapt to the Premier League again and easy to be motivated to play in the big games. This seems to be the culture in the EPL and unfortunately it will continue. The teams with the better players and more money will be more consistent.
Suhaib (email@example.com)
Good day Shebby,
I do believe that we need to change the mechanism and policies on our local football scene.
Why can't the FAM increase the quota, like 5 imported players max per team at least (or probably unlimited import players for every team)?
That will definitely create good competition among locals, which will then contribute to improve the local players for our national team. What's your thought on this?
Shebby Says:
I have suggested time and again that we open the doors to ASEAN players. We shouldn't consider them as foreigners. We need to create better competition in our pro league and create more awareness in the region.
Trinidad and Tobago do not care if their native scores 100 goals in the M League and the Brazilians, forget it! But the Vietnamese will get very excited if their best players play in Malaysia. Marketing and development has to go hand in hand.
Mohd Adha Thangarajah B. Abdullah (email@example.com)
Hi Shebbs,
You and I were actually nearly the same batch during our football heydays. You excelled further, however. I stopped halfway, although I was playing for Hong Chin Football Club (Selangor Dunhill League) during the times of ex-Selangor player John Engkatesu (who was the coach of Hong Chin at the time).
This was the famous football era of Malaysian football. There were so many gifted players like you and the rest alike.
My point is, with so many talents (ex-footballers), why aren't these people given a chance to run the management of Malaysian football. Minus Rajagopal, who is the current national coach, what happened to the rest?
Where are the likes of Soh Chin Aun, Santokh Singh, Shukor Salleh, James Wong, Wong Hung Nung, Khan Hung Meng, Hassan Sani, Khalid Ali, Rashid Hassan and other gifted talent?
Seeing you appearing on ESPN as a pundit, always reminds me of a question. Why not with all the experience as a player and a pundit in football that you have with you, come and join the Malaysian football management.
It is sad to see the Football Association of Malaysia currently not having any of these so called football greats, and merely being run by politicians, who might be only after fame, glory and money.
Come on Shebbs, start forming a committee with all ex-football players of Malaysia and come up with a comprehensive blue-print to transform Malaysian football. It's just pathetic to see the current crop of players. Thanks mate!
Shebby Says:
Thank you bro! It is always nice to hear from a fellow footballer, be it a teammate or opponent! We had fun didn't we? We do not have a culture that honours former players. How many former footballers do you see being Guest of Honour at football matches? If I go to the Johor FA and ask them if they have records of 1978, the year I started playing for them, you can bet your life they have no clue! And you are right, former players will take the limelight away from the politicians!
Chiyau (email@example.com)
What are Arsenal's chances in this season's EPL? TQ.
Shebby Says:
I have picked them to be Premier League Champions and I am standing by that! Forget the negative reports about losing to Chelsea! If you read the English media, Arsenal are gone! Don't believe a word of what they say!
Asharuddin bin Ahmad (email@example.com)
Who you reckon was a better striker regardless of strike rates, Fandi Ahmad or Mokhtar Dahari?
Shebby Says:
Two awesome strikers! I had the privilege of playing and training with Fandi Ahmad and only opposed Super Mokh on a few occasions. Mokhtar was tremendously powerful while Fandi was a better all-rounder. Fandi was more versatile too, dropping into midfield and setting up play.
Jay (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Hi Shebby,
I don't think you are a good pundit. Seriously, sometimes I really don't know how you can come up with these kinds of ideas.
One example – you were mentioning Ramires is far better than Essien and Mikel put together.
This is just my point of view, nothing personal.
Shebby Says:
Well Jay, you sound like someone who has got his head buried in the EPL, so I can't really blame you though! How awesome was Ramires against Arsenal on the weekend! He is new to the EPL but is taking to it like a duck to water. An established Brazilian international, Ramires was outstanding in the Portuguese League and also made a big impression in the Europa League for Benfica. Guess you should watch more football!

Although a North American release date for the restored film has yet to be announced, on July 4th, fans can download the movie online as well as catch its one-day theatrical re-release. Over the years, A Hard Days Night — which premiered in London on July 6th, 1964 — has been reissued three times, with its initial 1997 release featuring an introductory video for "I'll Cry Instead" — as featured in the original 1981 VHS version — along with an outtake performance of "You Can't Do That," which was left out of the movie, but shown on The Ed Sullivan Show on May 24th, 1964.

AHMM and FCB make Gallions Quarter design team
A design team including Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, Fielden Clegg Bradley Studios, Maccreanor Lavington and MUF Art and Architecture has been appointed to design the Gallions Quarter at the Royal Docks in East London
The London Development Agency has selected Notting Hill Housing Trust as its preferred developer for the 'unique and stunning' Royal Docks which includes 700 homes and 50,000 sq ft of retail and community space.
Notting Hill Housing Trust's director of development John Hughes was delighted. He said: 'We will create an environment with a strong sense of character inspired by the historic importance of the Docks and the communities who lived and worked here'.
The Gallions Quarter site sits within the Albert Basin area at the end of the Royal Docks. As the major landowner of the docklands the LDA is working closely with the London Brorough of Newham to realise the full potential of the area.
Stephen Kennard, a spokesperson from the LDA said: 'We want to create a new sustainable community in Gallions Quarter… build new homes, new business spaces and community spaces, all to high quality design standards, helping to create a lasting legacy in the Albert Basin.'
Proposals drawn up for Notting Hill Housing by the design team are expected to be submitted for planning in January 2012 with the project scheduled for completion by 2018.

|Patient specific identification of the cardiac driver function in a cardiovascular system model.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20621383 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|The cardiac muscle activation or driver function, is a major determinant of cardiovascular dynamics, and is often approximated by the ratio of the left ventricle pressure to the left ventricle volume. In an intensive care unit, the left ventricle pressure is usually never measured, and the left ventricle volume is only measured occasionally by echocardiography, so is not available real-time. This paper develops a method for identifying the driver function based on correlates with geometrical features in the aortic pressure waveform. The method is included in an overall cardiovascular modelling approach, and is clinically validated on a porcine model of pulmonary embolism. For validation a comparison is done between the optimized parameters for a baseline model, which uses the direct measurements of the left ventricle pressure and volume, and the optimized parameters from the approximated driver function. The parameters do not significantly change between the two approaches thus showing that the patient specific approach to identifying the driver function is valid, and has potential clinically.

Smith Machines are Olympic weight bars that are affixed to steel guide rods that travel up and down via bushings or linear bearings. Smith machines allow the user to perform weight lifting exercises such as squats and presses without the need of a spotter. With a twist of the wrists the integrated bar hooks lock into place at any point on the Smith Machine frame. They are a popular choice of strength equipment for homes, studios and clubs.
What is the best Smith Machine to purchase? This depends on budget, fitness goals and of course how much floor space you have to spare at your location. A Smith machine for the home can be much more compact than one built for commercial club use. A home Smith machine often includes other stations and attachments such as lat pulldowns, cable crossovers and butterfly attachments. For those on a budget, a basic home machine can start at a few hundred dollars. For heavy lifters and locations such as clubs where members will be using the machine all day every day, a commercial Smith machine is best. These machines are made with heavier gauge steel which give them a much higher weight capacity. Heavier steel and bolt down tabs all make for a more secure and safe workout environment.
Need help selecting which Smith Machine is best for your location or fitness goal? Let an Ironcompany.com fitness equipment expert assist you today at 1-888-758-7527.

Blindness Offends the BlindMeh
According to the Huffington Post Blind People are highly offended about the upcoming film Blindness. Blindness is about a group of people who end up getting infected and find themselves quarantined in a prison like environment where they trade sex for food and basically go 'tribal' in a mad maxish kind of way. Mr Maurer president of the Baltimore National Federation of the Blind has come out swinging but in all fairness he does make a valid and somewhat obvious choice;
"The movie portrays blind people as monsters, and I believe it to be a lie. Blindness doesn't turn decent people into monsters."
I agree with him 100%. Blind people are not monsters, and turning blind doesnt turn you into a monster. But for the Blind Association to get upset about a fictional film is idiotic. It would be the same as Bikers getting upset when FEAST 2 or Hell Ride portrays them as mindless no good killers. Blindness is portraying the worst possible situation to make a dramatic point and in my view is not a negative reflection on blind people but rather a look at how society so OFTEN falls to the lowest denominator whether its blind people... bikers.. or red haired step children ( like me ).

The researchers used aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) in place of these metals, thus paving the way to realize the commercialization of hyperbolic metamaterials, which hold potential in developing advanced optical devices.
The new metamaterial developed by the Purdue research team comprises 16 alternative layers of zinc oxide and AZO. Light traversing from the zinc oxide layer to the AZO layer experiences an 'extreme anisotropy,' which disperses the light to turn into hyperbolic, thus causing drastic changes in the behavior of the light. Besides improving the performance, the AZO shows high-compatibility with semiconductors.
This new metamaterial can be used to fabricate a 'planar hyperlens,' to make powerful optical microscopes capable of viewing objects like DNA. Other potential applications include cloaking devices, quantum computing, high-efficiency solar collectors and advanced sensors.
Alexandra Boltasseva, one of the researchers, informed that the optical properties of the metamaterials containing AZO can be tuned in two ways. One way is varying the aluminum concentration in AZO. The second method involves an electrical field application to synthesize metamaterials to modify AZO's optical properties. Thus, a new class of hyperbolic and non-hyperbolic metamaterials can be developed with this switching ability. AZO behaves like a dielectric at some wavelengths and like a metal at other wavelengths, thus enabling drastic functionality changes in the new metamaterial.
This novel metamaterial is able to function in the near-infrared spectrum range, an essential quality for optical communications. It finds use in the fabrication of next-generation light-harvesting equipment for solar power applications by enabling researchers to exploit 'optical black holes.' It is a plasmonic structure as it conducts plasmons. These new nanostructured material composites and plasmonic materials will advance the technology of optical metamaterials, concluded Boltasseva.

Herkimer officials and residents point to the elementary school on North Washington Street and the former Glory Days bar on North Main Street as eyesores. North Main Street alone has about 19 vacant storefronts.
Fred Weisser looks out his storefront every day at one of several massive dormant buildings in the village.
The view from his business, Weisser's Jewelers, is of the former H.M. Quackenbush buildings on North Main Street in Herkimer, just one vacant property plaguing the village.
Officials and residents point to the elementary school on North Washington Street and the former Glory Days bar on North Main Street as eyesores. North Main alone has about 19 vacant storefronts.
Abandoned buildings are not unique to Herkimer, said Gene Bunnell, associate professor of the Department of Geography and Planning at the University of Albany.
"It's the same problem in Albany and Buffalo and other upstate cities," he said. "It's a serious problem."
Having these abandoned buildings remain in communities doesn't bode well for business.
"It's the way in which it drags down the value and ability of adjacent buildings," Bunnell said. "You'd be generating more property tax and sales tax revenue in all kinds of ways if you stabilize (the area) and stop the hemorrhaging."
Weisser also pointed to the danger the buildings create.
"They don't attract anything desirable," he said. "They attract vermin, rodents, bats, fugitives hiding from the law."
Last month 64-year-old Kurt Myers hid inside the Glory Days building - formerly the General Herkimer Hotel - after killing four people and seriously injuring two others in a shooting rampage that ended with Myers being shot and killed by police.
While the incident that occurred in Herkimer and Mohawk is rare, the villages' police Chief Joseph Malone said police calls to abandoned buildings happen a couple times a month.
"There are a couple that are abandoned that keep getting broken in, to steal the metal," he said. "Others squat there."
Malone said there were no issues with Glory Days beyond codes violations, however, he mentioned a few noteworthy spots:
- Quackenbush: People break in and strip the metal.
- The elementary school: Kids break in and start fires.
Malone said codes can address some of the issues, but police must deal with trespassing and vandalism.
"The owner has to come forward with complaints," he said. "We can't make an arrest if the owner won't prosecute."
Bunnell said it's important for the owner to take responsibility, which isn't an easy task.
Herkimer village Mayor Mark Ainsworth said it's a challenge finding out who's responsible.
"You're always trying to chase someone down," he said.
Ainsworth said officials are frustrated further when they don't have authority over a building, such as the Quackenbush buildings.
Page 2 of 2 - "The (Herkimer County Industrial Development Agency) holds the lease, and someone else has the mortgage," he said. "We can't market it, we can't clean it up."
Bunnell said public officials and residents must band together to come up with creative ideas to tackle the issues facing their communities.
In Albany, there have been attempts to make boarded up buildings blend in with occupied ones by painting a storefront.
"It's an illusion," Bunnell said.
The Herkimer Now Main Street Revitalization Committee has been working with interested parties to fill storefronts, member Matthew Powers said.
"We still have some hooks and lines out there," he said.
Powers added that when it comes to the larger buildings, the community can see them in several ways - nostalgic, possible potential or generator of hard feelings.
"It's a challenge among other challenges," he said. "It's something we try to address as best we can."
And while his view may not be ideal, Weisser remains dedicated to the area.
"We're on our third generation of customers," he said. "I have people who come in here because their grandparents used to come in here."

JEFFERSON CITY, MO (AP) - Five senior Missouri Republicans have called on U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin to end his campaign following his comments about rape.
The statement Tuesday from U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt and four former Missouri senators - John Ashcroft, Kit Bond, Jim Talent and John Danforth - says they "do not believe it serves the national interest for Congressman Todd Akin to stay in this race."
National Republicans are also pressuring Akin to quit. Blunt and Talent also have close ties to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Blunt is Romney's congressional liaison, and Talent has traveled extensively with Romney and has a role in planning the potential transition to a Romney administration.
Akin has apologized since saying women's bodies are sometimes able to prevent pregnancies after what he called "a legitimate rape."

Lincoln County Historical Society (LCHS) held its May board meeting in Carrizozo but its headquarters are at the Doctor Wood's Annex in Lincoln. Members hold other meetings in this Lincoln building, otherwise it is open only by appointment. Their meeting at Carrizozo Heritage Museum was followed by a book signing sponsored by LCHS.
This is what artist Walter Henn had to say about the Lincoln building that currently is used for LCHS activities: "Doctor Wood's Annex - Little information has come to light concerning this frame false-fronted building. It, at various times, housed a drug store, hospital, winery, soap factory, and movie house. It is also rumored that movie star Guy Kibbee's father once used it for his newspaper and printing office. It is now unused." (This building was one of several in an art portfolio that Walter created of historic structures in Lincoln.)
The mission of LCHS is to "help preserve, enhance and interpret regional history, as well as to foster a love and respect for the fragile past." One of the ways they do this is with publications they have available: "Memoirs of a Country Doctor," "Fort Stanton," "Pioneer Stories," "Fro_ntier Parish," "Stroll through Old Lincoln Town," "Ramblin' Around Lincoln County," "Eve Ball" and their newest book, "Lincoln County Tells Its Stories." If you are interesting in purchasing a LCHS publication contact Sadie Mann, 575-653-4272.
LCHS officers are Walter Earl Pittman, Roswell, president; Gwendolyn Rogers Barela, Carrizozo, vice president; Marilyn Burchett, Hondo, secretary; and Beverly Strauser, Lincoln, treasurer. Board directors are Richard T. Bryant, Carrizozo; Earlayne Chance, Ruidoso; Gary Cozzens, Capitan; Ray Dean, Carrizozo; Andy Jorgenson, Carrizozo; David Mandel, Nogal; Sadie Mann, Lincoln; Herb Marsh, Lincoln; Patrick Pierce, Ruidoso; and Joetyne Wright, Ruidoso Downs. Emeritus: Ann Buffington, Lynda Sanchez, Rosalie Dunlap, Stan Monks, and Dr. Alden Ritch. I learned that "emeritus" means retired but retaining an honorary title corresponding to that held immediately before retirement.
The latest LCHS newsletter included a story of Pablo C. Alderete by Earl J. Pittman; coming LCHS events; "Billy and the Outhouse" by Gwendolyn Rogers; "Gary Cozzens to Manage Lincoln State Monument," story courtesy of Ruidoso News, and the announcement of the book signing featuring William W. Dunmire, and his book, "New Mexico's Spanish Livestock Heritage."
The LCHS newsletter is published quarterly for members. The society is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization begun in 1970 to further the education of the life and history of Lincoln County. Information on how to become a member is available by contacting Beverly Strauser, 575-653-4670.

MANCHESTER — A ghostly figure is wandering the woods of Manchester.
Dawn Meagher, a town resident, spotted the phantom recently one morning on her way to work. Meagher said she thought at first, "Whose llama got loose?"
She shot photos of the animal, which state wildlife biologist Andrew LaBonte identified as a "piebald anomaly," a white-tailed deer with a genetic abnormality that occurs in about two percent of the population.
"The white can range from a small amount to nearly covering the entire body … We see several each year," LaBonte said.
This particular piebald is mostly white, with a few dark patches and a mask on...

November 28, 2015
Shortly after 2:30 Friday afternoon the Deerwalk, Waverly, Lubeck and Eastwood Volunteer Fire Departments were dispatched to a home on McMullen Lane.
When crews arrived they quickly found and extinguished the fire which firefighters think began in the kitchen. Deerwalk Volunteer Lieutenant Jeremiah Whitlatch says although the home sustained heavy damage he believes the house is still livable because the home owner called for help immediately.
"This individual that owns this house notified the fire department as soon as she saw smoke," Lt. Whitlatch explains. "We were able to get here in a relatively quick amount of time and the structure is still standing. Versus if you try to put it out yourself it could result in the loss of the home."
Officials are now investigating what caused the fire.
