Hi all, Last week I went to Dreamworld where most people go for rides. However, they also have 3 m.o. tiger cubs - which were ridiculously hard to photograph with smeary, bright, relecting, glass.
They also have a wonderful bird aviary and noctural house, also a good Oz section, so I stayed the whole day enjoying the wildlife and didn't go near a ride except to get a couple of shots.
This bird and its mate were conveniently nesting but tended to nick off each time they saw the dreaded lens. Luckily this one paused allowing this shot. Hope it hasn't lost too much in the resizing - it 'was' really sharp.
Thanks for all the cc's on the beardies.
To all you epz dads - 'Happy fathers' day'.

Another great wildlife shot from you Jenny. I was trying to work out what that was in its nest, paper? plastic?
I take it that its Fathers Day in Oz 'cos its in June in the UK. As Mothers day is in March (at least in the UK) we always say Fathers day is nine months before Mothers day
I read that its best to shoot at an angle through glass and also set your focus to infinity or manual. Never tried it though. Carry a bottle of window cleaner and a duster by the sound of it too.

Because occupations in urban industrial societies represent different degrees of control of property, and because the economic and political are so closely interwoven, occupations have an important role in the distribution of social power in the society. General theory suggests that some occupations play more of a coordinating role in society than do others. It has also been observed that the greater the division of labor in a society, the greater the need to coordinate and direct the efforts of the individual occupations.1 This coordinating and directing role may be considered the manifestation of social power, as the ability to move other groups in the direction of one's own goals. As institutional dominance changes within a society, as technology changes, as the organization of occupations changes, as the structure of ownership changes, different occupations assume directive and coordinating functions, reflecting shifts in the amount of power available to these groups.
Various theories have focused on particular occupations as exhibiting the greatest amount of power. In western capitalism the captains of industry and large-scale financiers have been singled out as having more power and providing the over-all direction of the society. This has been observed not only by Marxists but also by many others. Robert and Helen Lynd, in their study of Middletown in Transition, documented how a business family dominated the entire institutional life of a middle- sized city during the Great Depression.2 Floyd Hunter in Community Power Structure also showed how a number of big businessmen and financiers dominate the life of a modern metropolis.3 Excerpts of these studies are not provided because they are generally known and available.
Shortly after World War I, Thorstein Veblen was impressed with the important role engineers were playing in the economy. The experiences during and after World War I pointed out the importance of technical knowledge in running factories and other organizations. The people elected Herbert Hoover, an engineer, presumably above politics, as

"I have always been a popularizer, " Franco Zeffirelli declares in the self-portrait that concludes his Autobiography (Zeffirelli 1986:341). He is speaking of his work in staging and filming opera, but his words apply equally well to his Shakespeare films: The Taming of the Shrew (1966), Romeo andJuliet (1968), and Hamlet (1990). As he once explained to an interviewer: "I have always felt sure I could break the myth that Shakespeare on stage and screen is only an exercise for the intellectual. I want his plays to be enjoyed by ordinary people" (Lucas 1967:94). Comparison will show that in all three of his Shakespeare films his efforts in this direction have much in common. The differences among them will also reward analysis and help to explain why of the three-all of them estimable in their own ways-Romeo and Juliet is the most successful, artistically as well as commercially.
Two reasons make Zeffirelli's success as a popularizer especially worth examination now. Costs of filmmaking have risen so high that if full-budget Shakespeare films are to be made at all they must have a wide appeal that only Olivier, Zeffirelli, and Kenneth Branagh have so far achieved. Furthermore, it is beginning to look as though Zeffirelli's approach will prove to be more durable than Olivier's. Olivier's most popular films, Henry V (1944) and Hamlet (1947), have dated badly; now about fifty years old, they have for some time been virtually intolerable-even laughable-to my college students; while Zeffirelli's nearly thirty-year-old Taming of the Shrew and Romeo and Juliet seem almost as accessible as ever and indeed still have the power to make audiences laugh and weep. Of Branagh, and his work as a popularizer of Shakespeare, more will be said at the end.
As Zeffirelli's career as a filmmaker attests, a popularizer and a popular artist are not necessarily the same. At best, his recent forays into films with a directly popular appeal have had mixed results. 1 It was as a popularizer that Zeffirelli made his name in films, and it is as such that his greatest successes have come. In a sense Shakespeare himself was not only a popular artist but also a popularizer. For a largely illiterate audience he transferred from page to stage and from narrative to drama some of the central writings of his time, such as the historical chronicles of Plutarch and Holinshed. Like Zeffirelli, Shakespeare's gifts were not

It depends on what your idea of a "nice" cool tone is ...Originally Posted by ader
Are you mainly intersted in transparencies?
If you do your own color printing, it is relativey simple to change color balance in the enlarger. If you do not - you will have a problem with the "automatic color balancing" system used widely in "one-hour-labs" (see "Kodak Colorwatch"), no matter what flm or filtration you use - they will invariably try to make it "like everyone wants it". The only alternative is a "custom" color laboratory.
One book I will recommend - without reservation: "Filters - Special Effects, Accessories - From the Pros to the Pros" - the standard, usual, FREE catalog from B+W - the filter manufacturers. This has been my filter "bible" since - well, a LONG time ago ... and I haven't found anything better yet.

Pangella Chronicles
An obscure legend claims that when Corellon put out Gruumsh's eye in a primeval battle, part of the savage god's essence fell to earth, where it transformed a race of humans into fierce half-orcs. Another story suggests that an ancient hobgoblin empire created half-orcs to lead orc tribes on the empire's behalf. Yet another legend claims that a tribe of brutal human barbarians chose to breed with orcs to strengthen their bloodline. Some say that Kord created half-orcs, copying the best elements from the human and orc races to make a strong and fierce people after his own heart. If you ask a half-orc about his origin, you might hear one of these stories. You might also get a punch in the face for asking such a rude question.
Play a half-orc if you want . . .
- to be big, strong, and fast.
- to harness anger into resilience and combat power.
- to be a member of a race that favors the barbarian, fighter, ranger, and rogue classes.

Recently, Mitt Romney misrepresented the president's words: "If you have a business, you didn't build it." Obama said, "If you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. ... If you're successful, somebody along the line gave you some help." Then Obama cited a "great teacher, this great American system allowing you to thrive, roads, bridges, an Internet created by government research, allowing companies to make money."
Of course, Obama is correct: business thrives in America because the government works hand in glove with business. As Fareed Zakaria recently noted, money spent by the government on research and development (in decline here although South Korea and China are increasing theirs by 10 percent yearly) has significant paybacks. "The $3.8 billion the U.S. spent over 15 years to sequence the human genome drove $796 billion in economic activity, raised $24 billion in personal income, supported 310,000 jobs in 2010 alone."
The semiconductor industry came from the Department of Defense. The Internet was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA). For years, NASA was the main client of the burgeoning computer industry. GPS capability owes its being to the worldwide network of government-launched satellites, as does weather forecasting.
John Sununu's attack, that he "wishes the president would learn how to be an American," is more of the Republican penchant for misrepresenting. Sununu might well research the hand-in-glove history of government and business in America. My president already knows that history: business profits from government; government profits from business.

Ok guys and gals, I have always wanted to show off mywife, My best way of doing and the safest so she does not realize my real desires, is to have her go with a thong bikini and topless on a public beach in Europe.
Now most beaches in Europe are topless, she has done it and I do love the attention that she receives, and I am constantly horny when she does, but occasiionally she keeps telling me that this is not normal.
Now are there any other couples, that share the same experience? Please share.

I think that it is normal, but understand that some women are self conscious about it. I think just being that enviroment would put her at ease. LIke take her to topless beaches, but don't pressure her to take it off. Try that a few times to see if that helps relax her so she is less self conscious. IS she OK say going for massages where her shirt is off, or tanning salons where she is topless? is it just the pulic thing that is hard for her to get past?
I do think you are normal, but i also think that your wife is normal too!
#3 Feb 6, 2008
Fly_girl, she has done, at the beggining, she was so conscious about it and I had to persuade her, the next thing i knew, is that she got up and she went into the water without her top and with her tiny bottom/ thong bikini.
I believe she by now likes it, quite a bit but occassionally she is conscious, and she will mention that she is not doing something right.
About the tanning salon, she is doing it, and she has no problem with it.
Now about us going to a nude beach I have suggested this but the answer is that as long as noone is there she will do it for me,
If you ask me I would have liked it if some other couples were there, not so much for me to look other ladies, since my wife is pretty hot, it just adds to the excitement to have her been seen and admired by others.
Thank you for your reply

Get some attractive guy to rub sun protection on her, she will love it.

Henri it seems to me you are speaking from experience
#6 Feb 6, 2008
How old is she? I've known alot of women that won't do in their 20's what they will do in their 30's.
I'm 45 & my wife is 48. We go to nude beaches 6-7 times per year. Nothing better than the freedom to be naked in public.

Hello stranger, I think that this is perfectly normal, that it is exciting that you would want to show off you wife in this way. In fact, I think that it is more then normal, it is quite exciting...you should act on your fantasies if they are something that excite you...
#11 Mar 28, 2008
I bet your wife is beautiful and you should be proud to see her admired by those around you.
My suggestion is to suggest she start out Topfree and then move on the the thong. I've found most women are more self-conscience about their rear-end than their boobs. Stick to a nude beach where there are plenty of others who are letting it all hang out. Avoid any beach or pool that is simply accepting of topless women.(i.e. Miami South Beach)
Good luck and have fun this summer. Let us know how it works out.
#12 Mar 28, 2008
Take her to a real nude beach first.(The most typical European beaches allow toplessness but not full nudity).
Here's why to go that way:
In our sexually hung-up society woman's breasts are roughly analogous to a man's penis and balls. Therefore at a real nude beach you'd be as vulnerable as her and this would give her someone to go through adjusting with.
I can pretty much guarantee that once you two have been to a nude beach the very idea of a bathing suit will seem unbelievably strange to both of you.
This approach worked for my wife.(I, on the other hand, grew up going to nude beaches, so I never had any of these hang-ups.)
#13 Mar 28, 2008
My husband loves me to bear my breasts on the beach. And I enjoy pleasing him. It clearly excites him. He loves when I "accidently" expose myself on non-topless beaches and public pools. Once at Disney World I pretended not to notice that my areola was exposed in front of a couple that we traveled with. I thought he was going to explode with excitement. That same couple saw us make love though the mini-blinds that were not completely closed. Very exciting.
#14 Apr 28, 2008
I have had the same thoughts and wondered if they are normal. My fiance is in her 30s, petite, athletic, and attrective. When we went to the beach last summer, she wore a thong bikini for the first time -unexpectedly. I was surprised, a little apprehensive, and then surprisingly aroused by the number of people staring at her.
When we got back to the house at which we were staying -owned by an older couple, she took her top off in the pool when no one was around, but left it off when the couple and the college student who was staying with them returned. The first and last time something like that happened, but it was very memorable.
#15 Jun 14, 2008
My wife would never go topless at the beach. One day we were at a beach that was topless and she was the only on the area who was not topless. Before I could say anything, her top was off. She has gone topless many times since. Since she has large boobs, she gets the men looking at her every time.

i tried to write the whole story here and got bumped twice. here's the basics.
I took my wife to a nude beach...she showed herself off as if i wasn't there, and ended up showing off to guys. i think she may have sucked one or two of their cocks too.

My wife loves being naked at the beach and I also get turned on watching her being watched by others guys and girls who in turn get turned on by looking at her.
#18 Sep 4, 2008
My wife is of middle-eastern descent (arab) and always gets stared at when we go to beaches because she looks so different. She has very large breasts and really likes the attention. I've been trying to convince her to go topless for a while. She finally did it when we were in Miami with another couple who we were friends with. It was really thrilling to watch people stare at her.

Is it not allowed to go topless on beaches in the US? There must be some beaches in the US where it's okay.

In my case after spending about 15 min trying to focus on a flower I asked my friend....hey Paul why cant I focus on anything? I see everything dark I cant beleive the bellows draw is so great as to make it all dark!....he looks at my camera....looks at me with pity in his eyes and said..." if you remove the film holder is easier to focus"...
Ok...one more.....what is the dumbest thing you have ever seen done?
In my case while unemployed I went to work at a friends camera shop....so two students came in to buy paper for their photo class....after I gave them the pack they proceded to open it to share the paper.....so I said...ah....you are not supposed to do that, you have ruined the paper...they said....we thought it was only enlarger light...... http://apug.org/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

Fracking Myths Shouldn't Dictate Energy Policy

At 8 percent, the California unemployment rate is one of the highest in the country.
The state legislature apparently likes it that way. California lawmakers are on their way to banning a technology that could create 200,000 jobs, inject millions of dollars into the state's economy, and create a clean, reliable source of energy.
A bill making its way through the Legislature would outlaw hydraulic fracturing -- or fracking -- at least temporarily. Now it appears that lawmakers in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania are jumping on the anti-fracking bandwagon as well. These states have also come out with measures that would restrict the drilling technique.
The problem is, policies aiming to ban fracking aren't supported by facts. Fracking is a safe, proven drilling technique that has been around for years. Lawmakers must stop letting emotions and fear rule their decisions, and must start basing energy policy in reality.
Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a decades-old method of using a high-velocity mixture of water, sand and chemicals to blast through rock to release oil and gas deposits. This technique has safely and successfully tapped abundant natural resources from more than 1 million wells nationwide -- and over 1,500 in California alone.
But last month, the California Democratic Convention unanimously approved a platform urging the state to enact the ban. They argued that fracking causes birth defects, pollutes groundwater and even triggers earthquakes. These Democrats say policymakers need time to determine whether fracking can be allowed to resume in the future.
Such caution would be reasonable if the concerns about fracking were based in fact -- but there is already a mountain of research available that establishes the safety of fracking.
Some anti-fracking extremists like to argue that fracking causes birth defects. In reality, the one Colorado-focused study zealots cite when making that claim has been thoroughly discredited by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for its faulty science. In fact, the health department insisted on the disclaimer: "[This agency] specifically disclaims responsibility for any analyses, interpretations or conclusions."
Another unfounded claim leveled by fracking opponents is that the chemicals used in the process contaminate drinking water. President Obama's own administration admits that accusation is bogus. Former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator, Lisa Jackson told Congress that she knew of no "proven case where the fracking process" affected water. The EPA itself has even used hydraulic fracturing to help clean up hazardous Superfund sites.
Maybe the most outlandish claim is that fracking causes earthquakes. A U.S. Geological Survey scientist who investigated this claim unequivocally declared that there is "no evidence that fracking is related to the occurrence of earthquakes."
Environmentalists often contend that they argue on the side of science. But green activists trying to shut down fracking have traded settled science for a mountain of genuine malarkey.
And these attacks on the drilling technique are far from harmless. Fracking has been instrumental in revitalizing the energy sector. Banning it now would ravage the economy, lead to massive unemployment and threaten America's growing energy independence.
Last year, fracking supported 2.1 million jobs and contributed $284 billion to the U.S. economy. As a result, our country has achieved the highest levels of oil production in 25 years. The increase in domestic crude and natural gas production has made the U.S. more energy independent. In 2005, America imported 60 percent of its petroleum products. Thanks to fracking, that number is down to 28 percent this year.
Thoughtful debate about the benefits and drawbacks of fracking should be encouraged in California and across the United States. When that happens, the advantages of fracking become evident. All too often, however, discussions about fracking are met with spurious attempts to attack and even prohibit the practice based on bogus science and tawdry fear-mongering.
Unfounded fear must not stand in the way of the most promising and exciting energy revolution we've experienced in over a century. That's something lawmakers must remember when contemplating legislation that could suddenly inhibit this progress.

May was a tough month for the Fire in what has so far been a most trying season. June will be different.
While the Fire played only one home match in May, there will be four in June beginning with Sunday's visit from lowly D.C. United. That game will showcase the new, vastly improved Fire. It'll be the first home match since the acquisitions of central defender Bakary Soumare and striker Mike Magee. They've already made an improvement in the Fire in road matches, and they'll make an increasingly bigger one as the Major League Soccer season and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup tournament progress.
[RELATED: Fire welcome back friend, trade for Soumare]
The Fire, 2-7-2 in MLS play, had a three-game losing streak until securing a 1-1 draw at Real Salt Lake in Soumare's first game with the club on May 25. The Fire hadn't won a match of any kind since April 20 until its 2-0 win over the Charlotte Eagles in Open Cup play on Wednesday. That was Magee's first match with the Fire.
Soumare and Magee have filled glaring weaknesses that surfaced in the first 11 matches of the MLS campaign. Now there's a run of home games, and good results in those could put the Fire back in the playoff chase and poised for another long run in the Open Cup.
Both Soumare and Magee came in trades made within MLS. Soumare, who spend 2007-09 with the Fire before venturing overseas, had been with the Philadelphia Union. Magee was not just with the two-time defending MLS Cup champion Los Angeles Galaxy, he was also that club's top goal-scorer with six.
And now they're with the Fire at a good time in the season to build positive momentum. D.C. United (1-9-2 and 0-4-1 on the road) played even worse than the Fire in the first third of the MLS campaign.
"We're capable of earning three points," said Fire midfielder Joel Lindpere. "We have to start somewhere, and everybody hopes this is the start….D.C. has also been in a very difficult situation, so it's going to be an interesting game for both teams."
Both survived their first Open Cup tests against minor league opponents this week. United did it on penalty kicks against the Richmond Kickers after a match that was scoreless.
Opening round matches in the Open Cup are rarely easy for MLS teams, which enter the summer-long competition in the third round. The Fire, with four Cups and six appearances in the finals in its 16 seasons, has been the most successful MLS club in that competition but still lost six times to teams from lower leagues.
In 1999 the Rochester Rhinos knocked out the Fire, which went into that year's competition as the defending champion. In 2002 the Milwaukee Rampage did the same thing. In subsequent years the Fire was victimized by the Carolina RailHawks (2007), Wilmington Hammerheads (2009), Charleston Battery (2010) and Michigan Bucks (2012).
There were some stunning upsets in this year's Open Cup, the most shocking being the Galaxy's ouster by the RailHawks. Other MLS clubs already out of this year's Open Cup are the Seattle Sounders (beaten by the Tampa Bay Rowdies), the San Jose Earthquakes (beaten by Charleston) and the Colorado Rapids (eliminated by Orlando City).
The Fire gets to host in the next round, and the opponent on June 12 will be the Columbus Crew. The Fire got its last MLS win, albeit five weeks ago, by beating the Crew at Toyota Park.
First order of business, though, is beating D.C. United. That club, like the Fire, has struggled offensively. The Fire has only seven goals to show for 11 MLS matches, and United has but six in 12.
This isn't the same Fire team, though. The additions of Magee and Soumare have changed everything. With Soumare moving into the back line the Fire has shaken off the absence of German veteran Arne Friedrich, who has been out all season with a hip injury that apparently won't heal. Last season's stalwart returned to Germany for the second time this week for more treatment from his preferred therapist, Thomas Fennewald.
[MORE: Encouraging signs evident for Fire]
With Soumare able to pair with Austin Berry in the middle, Jalil Anibaba can return to the right side where he played most of the time last season. Gonzalo Segares remains one of MLS' best on the left.
Up front, Magee has already been helpful. It took him only 11 minutes into his first start to score against Charlotte and he also assisted on the Fire's second goal, scored by Chris Rolfe.
"It was not only great for Mike to have a good game and score, but it was also good for Chris," said Fire coach Frank Klopas, who badly needed help from new players and got it.
The best thing, from this point of view, about the acquisitions of Soumare and Magee is that both players dearly wanted to play in Chicago. This is very significant. Happiness off the field is an intangible that extends beyond their already proven playing abilities.
For Soumare, it's a return to the club that started his professional career. That's been details here in the past. For Magee there's even more to it.
Magee grew up in the northwest suburbs, mainly Barrington. Family considerations, in the end, overrode a happy situation with the Galaxy. That's an extreme rarity with the professional athletes in this day and age.
After the trade to the Fire was announced Magee wrote an open letter to Los Angeles fans, offering an elaborate thank you for their support. That thank you extended to "the entire club that has given everything I could have wished for."
But Magee asked for the trade to Chicago. Galaxy coach Bruce Arena wanted to sign Robbie Rogers, a player whose rights were owned by the Fire, and could have done it without losing Magee. After all, Magee had been a clutch scorer (six goals in his last 10 playoff games) in Los Angeles' last two championship runs. In the end Arena went along with his player's request (that's unusual in big-time sports, too).
"If Mike didn't want to do this I would not have done it. It's that simple," said Arena.
So now the Fire season is filled with promise again, Excitement will ramp up if the Fire can beat United, the Portland Timbers on June 8, the Crew in the next Open Cup match and the Colorado Rapids on June 19 in the nice run of home games.
As for the D.C. United visit, there are some interesting connections between the clubs. Josh Wolff, a D.C. assistant coach, became a popular offensive player when the Fire gave him his professional start. He scored 32 goals in five seasons with the Fire.
Fire defender Berry and United's Nick DeLeon were college teammates at Louisville, and they finished one-two in last year's balloting for MLS rookie-of-the-year.
And forward Maicon Santos, in in a contract dispute with D.C. United, was acquired by the Fire in the first stage of last year's MLS re-entry draft. In fact, he was the only player claimed in the first stage. The Brazilian striker, now nursing a right shoulder sprain, had seven goals and three assists in 26 matches for D.C. last season and leads the Fire with two goals this campaign.
Injury-wise Santos and midfielder Daniel Paladini, the Fire's leading scorer, are questionable for Saturday, though both would be doubtful starters even if they were completely healthy. Paladini has inflammation in his left calf.

According to a statement issued by eHarmony, "Under the settlement agreement, the company reserves the right to inform those using the new same-sex matching service that the Compatibility Matching System™ developed by eHarmony is solely based on research involving married heterosexual couples."
Theodore Olsen, attorney for eHarmony, issued a statement claiming that eHarmony "did not agree to offer gay matches willingly. Even though we believed that the complaint resulted from an unfair characterization of our business, we ultimately decided it was best to settle this case with the attorney general since litigation outcomes can be unpredictable."
Apparently the certainty of losing is more compatible than the possibility of winning. Contrary to some media, eHarmony wasn't "forced" or "compelled" to comply with McKinley's demands; eHarmony surrendered to his demands.
Jim Campbell, an attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund, a religious liberty legal organization, told Baptist Press. "Unfortunately, in this case, eHarmony surrendered to their demands. We feel they could have had a valid argument and could have taken a stand against this."
Since married people are expressly prohibited from using or registering to use eHarmony's singles service and the (LAD) prohibits discrimination based on marital status, how long will it be before some budding adulterer sues because eHarmony doesn't facilitate that swinging option? Will it expand its new "Compatible Partners" to include ménage á trois types, spouse swappers, sadomasochists, cross-dressers and transgenders?
Intimidation litigation is what's happening to privately owned businesses, especially Christian-owned businesses, churches, and para-church organizations when state anti-discrimination laws, which were meant to end discrimination based on immutable characteristics like race, are amended to include "sexual orientation" and "gender identity." For example:
· April 2008: The New Mexico Human Rights Commission fined Christian photographer Elaine Huguenin $6,000 for declining to take photos of a lesbian commitment ceremony.
· July 2008: Two homosexuals filed a discrimination complaint with the New York Attorney General's office claiming they were barred from posting their online adoptive parent profile by Arizona-based Adoption Profiles, LLC and Adoption Media, LLC solely because they are a same-sex couple in violation of New York antidiscrimination laws. The company ceased doing business in California in 2007 after a federal judge ruled against it in a similar suit brought by two California homosexuals.
· August 2008: The California Supreme Court extended the state's anti-discrimination law to the medical profession. The court ruled unanimously that two Christian fertility doctors who refused to artificially inseminate a lesbian couple could not claim a free speech or religious exemption from the California law.
· November 2008: The California Fair Political Practices Commission announced that it will investigate a complaint by homosexuals that the Mormon church did not accurately describe its role in the campaign to pass Prop. 8 defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
On its Web site, eHarmony says that "the most important areas of life – like values, character" matter to the success of long-term relationships. But its surrender to intimidation litigation says loudly that its corporate bottom line matters more.
Worse yet is the demoralizing effect that eHarmony's capitulation is likely to have on those defending similar suits – and the emboldening effect on the bullies who file them.

That same dude you gave nothing, I made something doing
Lyric Meaning
Jigga feels he was disadvantaged from the beginning, and unassisted by any authoritative power. Against the odds, and with no help, he has still risen
Additionally, the next line, "What I do, through and through" should be read as a continuation of the last part of this line, so that if it were prose, it would be:
I made something [of myself, of hip-hop] doing what I do through and through.
The prose version emphasizes the value Jay-Z places on artistic integrity, which is something he repeatedly talks about in his music and his book. It also sets up a syncopated and prosaic flow of enjambment to give the verse a feeling prosaic sentences instead of lines (e.g. "The block where they / pop toasters").
If he's going to do art, he's going to do it "through and through," his own way; as he says, "the secret of long-term success is the freedom just to be yourself," and no one gave him that freedom. He took it.
The flow in the actual version is great because it emphasizes "doing" – ("B.I.G. I did it!"). In DECODED, Jay-Z repeatedly talks about how much he respects "doing" – work ethic ("Honor Among Predators," etc.).

There is lack of data on prevalence of celiac disease (CD) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Arabs in the Middle East. The present investigation aims to study the prevalence rate and clinical characteristics of CD among Saudi children with T1D using a combination of the most sensitive and specific screening serologic tests (anti- tissue transglutaminase antibodies IgA [anti-TTG] and ednomyseal antibodies [EMA]) and to determine the lower cut-off value of anti- anti-TTG level that best predicts CD in children with T1D.
Children with T1D following in diabetic clinic have been prospectively screened for presence of CD, over a two-year period (2008–2010), by doing anti-TTG, EMA, and total IgA. Children with positive anti-TTG titres (>50 U/ml) and/or EMA and children with persistently low positive anti-TTG titres (two readings 20–50 U/ml; within 6 months intervals) had upper endoscopy and 6 duodenal biopsies.
One hundred and six children with T1D have been screened for CD: age ranged between 8 months to 15.5 years (62 females). Nineteen children had positive anti-TTG and/or EMA, however only 12 children had biopsy proven CD (11.3%). Five of 12 had gastrointestinal symptoms (42%). Children with T1D and CD had significantly lower serum iron than children with T1D alone (8.5 μgm/L Vs 12.5 μgm/L; P = 0.014). The sensitivity and specificity of anti-TTG were 91.6% and 93.6%, with a positive and negative predictive value of 64.7% and 98.8%, respectively. Receiver operated characteristics analysis for the best cut-off value of anti-TTG level for diagnosis of CD was 63 units (sensitivity 100% and specificity 98.8%).
CD is highly prevalent among Saudi children with T1D. Anti-TTG titres more than 3 times the upper limit of normal has very high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of CD in T1D children.
