You know you've been there; deep in the heart of a pulsating jam pumped through to a smartphone, into your ear canals, and downloaded to your cerebral cortex and then ... STOP! Your soundtrack-for-the-commute is suddenly interrupted by a call leaving your soul partially satisfied and frustrated physical-self fumbling to unplug the headphones to answer the call, which is likely not as important as your new favorite song. The Nixon Wire 3-Button Mic Headphones provide the means to switch back-and-forth between sweet jams and the call to discuss après-work drink meeting times.
- 3-Button mic and volume control lets you make/receive calls without holding the phone to your face or using the speaker
- 3 Sets of silicone tips to help provide the most comfortable fit
- Custom carrying case keeps the headphones organized and safe during transport
- Soft-touch coating makes putting the ear buds in and out easy
- Mic & volume control compatiblity: iPhone 3GS; iPod Touch (2nd Gen); iPad; current iPod Shuffle, Nano, & Classic
- Mic & audio compatibility: iPhone 3G & 1st Gen; iPod Touch (1st Gen); Blackberries w/ 3.5mm jack (select models)
- Audio only: any device w/ 3.5mm jack

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I like everything about the product except the periodic zap it would give me in my left ear. I've requested a replacement since this zap is probably caused by a defect.
Ok, I received a replacement and now I receive more intense unpleasant shocks in both ears more frequently. I do not encounter this with my other headphones.
sickest headphones ever! (till they die)
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
i have the surplus and they have a good build quality. defiantly worth at least $120. it even comes with a semi hard case. pretty dope for $60
i think the cable shorted
They're good
The sound quality probably the best for the cost. but they do look nice. I've had mine for a few months without any problems. I tend to be rough with my stuff too.
Product design is excellent as it always is with Nixon. But the quality is complete garbage. After usually about 2 months, the connection goes to crap, and one of the ear phones will go out. Something with the headphone jack. This has happened to at least 5 pairs of Nixons for me. This will NOT last, especially if you're an active person and use these while riding/ skating/ hitting the gym.
Noisy, but still OK
These fit great, and look amazing. The mic and buttons work well, and feel way more solid than most OEM earbud/mic combos.
As far as sound quality, these completely murder stock iPod headphones, and even the more expensive silicone-tipped Apple earbuds. They fit more snugly, and I found myself needing to readjust them MUCH less. I'm sure there are other brands that are louder or more crisp, but none of them look as good as these do.
Like most of the reviews have already said, these DO transmit quite a bit of noise up the wires if they rub against things. For me, that wasn't really a dealbreaker -- iPod at about 75% volume covers it up nicely -- but it's a little bothersome when you're on a phone call. It's not bad enough to make me want to return them, just annoying enough for me to give them 4/5 stars.
Bottom line: When they go on sale, they'll be worth every penny.
These headphones are far and away THE best headphones out there. Even arguably worth $100. (Beats in-ear headphones don't even compare).
I am currently loving my second pair of these (which I returned a pair of diddy beats in order to buy).
These headphones have excellent tight bass which is not blown out or distorted and really just resonates in your ears. The treble/highs are also fantastic, never crackling or fading like other headphones I've used.
These are also some of the most comfortable headphones around. Great shape/design, and are really just quality built. They feel solid in your hands, have a nice rubberized finish and are rather tangle free (when stored properly).
And my favorite thing about these headphones are the style. These will turn a few heads. I often get complements on these headphones:
"Those are so sick"
"Are those really expensive headphones?" -->(which they aren't for the quality)
Anyways, Nixon has done a good thing with these high quality reasonably price headphones and I will probably continue to recommend and purchase these headphones exclusively until they are discontinued. Which hopefully are never.
In summary, I have absolutely no gripes with these headphones. They block external sound great and have almost no sound bleed. I love popping these in and really just enjoying my music. Buy these, and I have no doubt you will do the same.
Amazing Headphones
Not the loudest headphones, but the clearest. Great treble and some great bass
Pretty good
I got these headphones for my droid x knowing that the controls possibly wouldn't work with it. They don't which is fine but I will let you know what the do. When you first plug them in, the music player automatically comes on with a random song in shuffle mode. So all you have to do is then change it to whatever you want. No big deal. All three of the buttons just pause the music which comes in handy. So if you have a droid, expect these same results. The sound quality is alright. They seem similar to the skullcandy smokin buds. At least thats my opinion. I am not an expert on sound quality. They are great headphones nonetheless.
check out the app "remote control for headphones" on the android market. It's free and fixed my compatibility issues pretty well
Pleasantly Improved
I bought the first Nixon Wire 10 headphones when they cam out a few years back and loved them! Though the cloth covering the wire was a horrible distraction and the lack of mic with iPhone control was a disappointing annoyance that I didn't appreciate until I didn't have it.
These FIX all that! Although these are the 8mm divers the sound quality is just about equal to the wire 10, and the PU covering the wire eliminates the background noise (but not completely). The mic and controls are easy to find while on my bike commute to the clinic and most importantly my wife can hear me clearly on a phone call while I am speeding through the urban jungle.
Will the mic & volume control work with...
Will the mic & volume control work with an Iphone 4?

Team Name: Chicago Bears

2006 Draft Order: (26th Pick)
2006 Chicago Bears NFL Mock Draft Picks
Team Needs
Cornerback: Nathan Vasher blossomed into a pro bowl corner last year but Jerry Azumah has retired and Charles "Peanut" Tillman might be moving to free safety. Securing another corner is a must for the Bears in the early rounds.
Wide Receiver: The Bears thought they had an elite number 1 wide receiver in Mushin Muhammad but last season by his own admittance he was revealed as only a number 2 guy. Chicago has a few good young wide outs, but no elite player to stretch the defense.
Tight End: Desmond Clark is serviceable but is not the best blocker and drops alot of balls. Adding another big target with good hands could make Rex Grossmans' job much easier.
Chicago signed backup quarterback Brian Griese to give the Bears a good backup to the injury plagued Rex Grossman. For the bears to succeed they will need to have more weapons for Grossman to throw to. Securing an elite wide out in the first round and netting a solid tight end in the latter rounds could solve their offensive woes.
The Bears defense was one of the leagues best in 2005, but cornerback was clearly the weak point of this team. Miami's Kelly Jennings could be a nice upgrade if he was there in the second round or maybe Texas' Cedric Griffin could be enticing in the latter rounds.

RDECOM commander challenges students to serve
February 20, 2010
By RDECOM Public Affairs Office
BALTIMORE (Feb. 19, 2010) - Major General Nick Justice challenged a group of several hundred engineering students to take the next step on the path to exciting, valuable and meaningful lives by coming to work for Army as civilians engineering battlefield solutions for Soldiers.
Justice, Commander of the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, addressed the crowd at this year's Black Engineer of the Year Award Conference. He led a recruiting contingent made up of engineers, senior leaders and personnel specialists brought together from the command's numerous locations throughout the country.
"You chose a very challenging and a very rewarding career path," Justice said. "You made that decision and you are on that path. The question of what you were going to study was about four years of your life. You're about to make a decision about how you'll spend the next 40 years of your life.
"I want to ask you some questions about that decision. Do you want to have a life that is filled with excitement' Do want to have a life that is valuable to others' Do you want to have a life that is meaningful'" he asked.
"Then you better make the choice of your future carefully, with the guidance of people you trust, because if you make the wrong decision you'll spend 40 years in the wrong career."
Justice talked about the challenges and rewards of his own 40-year career to illustrate the rewards of working as an engineer for the U.S. Army.
"I want to talk to you about rewards that are not necessarily about making $5 more than somebody else. What's great about engineering is that you get to solve problems. What better time in our history than right now to be an engineer' What better organization than the U.S. Army to solve problems for' That's what we do at RDECOM, we solve problems for Soldiers," Justice said.
"We are the greatest country in the world, and we are the greatest Army in the history of the world. But we will always be challenged. So I'm asking you not only to take that challenging and rewarding job, but to serve to your nation, your family your community, to be someone in this country that chooses to make a difference. Not just for yourself. You've already done that. I'm asking you to make a difference for your country."

|Illinois Guardsman Remembers Father, All Veterans
|News Releases - Military & Veterans News
|Written by Sgt. 1st Class Rob Fafoglia, 139th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment
|Monday, 04 November 2013 11:15
ROCKFORD, IL (11/04/2013)(readMedia)-- Veteran's Day means something different to everyone. For some, it is a time to grieve for what has been lost. For others, it is celebrated for the freedoms fought for and gained.
For Illinois Army National Guard Staff Sgt. Lawrence Orsborn Jr., it is a moment for reflection and pride.
"Twice a year, on Memorial Day and Veteran's Day, families and friends meet at the LZ (Landing Zone) Peace Memorial located at Midway Village in Rockford, Illinois," said Orsborn, a recruiting and retention noncomissioned officer with Company D, Recruit Sustainment Battalion in Aurora, Ill. "The event is held to pay honor and tribute to the veterans, both living and on the wall of the memorial. They are Vietnam veterans from Winnebago County."
Orsborn said both are solemn days to remember and honor those who came before and served their country.
"It's not about the sales we see on TV...it's about the men and women of the past who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their beliefs," said Orsborn, a Rockford, Ill., native. "It allows peace for the families of those who were lost, and a way to honor who those men and women were. To not forget their memory, to hold that piece of history close to your heart."
Orsborn's father served in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive, from 1967 to 1969. His example ultimately influenced his son to join.
"My father's influence is everything I try to hold dearly each day," said Orsborn. "To teach new recruits to be proud of our flag, and the rights of freedom for all those oppressed, no matter where that takes you or what you may face."
Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Stephen Cooper, the Joint Force Headquarters' command staff chaplain, usually does the benediction and closing prayers for these events. He said the day is full of meaning for all veterans and must be remembered.
"We stand on the very tall shoulders of the Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Sailors who went before us," said Cooper, also a Rockford native. "We must never forget our heritage and the blood, sweat and tears that were shed building that heritage. For Vietnam veterans this is perhaps even more the case since, for the most part, they did not receive their due recognition and honor when they came home."
Cooper also said this day holds a special significance for Orsborn.
"These events are extremely significant for Staff Sgt. Orsborn," he said. "Not only is he a combat vet himself, but his father's name is on the LZ Peace Memorial wall as a fallen Vietnam veteran."
Orsborn agreed the day means much to him.
"On those hallowed days, I get to stand and read the fifth panel of names," said Orsborn. "I stutter, I cry...I am proud to read the name, Lawrence Edward Orsborn Sr., my own name, my namesake, my father and my best friend. It hurts each and every time. Family and veterans are always encouraged to speak. The voices heard echo in the wind and our hearts."
This year marks the 50th anniversary since the Vietnam War. Cooper emphasized the importance of events such as these, as they have a direct impact on those serving today.
"Anecdotally, this very group of Vietnam vets was key in my 'recovery' from my time in Iraq," he said. "I grew up with Vietnam vets as my heroes. To have them look at me, a fellow combat vet, in the eye and consider me a brother was incomprehensibly momentous to me."
Orsborn echoed this sentiment.
"The importance of the Vietnam war is vast," Cooper said. "From a historical perspective, it opened up the racial balances of our own country. Men volunteered and were drafted. Women saw the grimaces of combat as nurses, saving lives both physically and mentally. Back home our nation was at war over serving or not. The younger generation needs to understand what choices can do to our country."
As the years go by, Orsborn said he will continue to participate in events like these and honor the
memory of all veterans.
"It is very humbling to speak of these brave men; to speak of the passion I have for the memory of my father," Orsborn said. "I can honestly say that my heart yearns to talk to him again, to show him the man I have become and the children I have raised, to show him the Soldiers I have enlisted and the passion I display to them about service to this great nation."
Orsborn said his father is and will continue to be his role model in both his military career and life.
"The main inspiration I have is my dad's shell casing from his funeral," he said. I carry that every day with me, everywhere I go, no matter my clothing. It is with me, as is my dad, eternally."

Much like the families mentioned in this Motherlode article, homework has truly hijacked our lives. Besides the 20 minutes time out for dinner that I force them to take, it is the only thing my girls do after school.
Oh, unless they have tutoring, which is where they get to do their…wait for it…homework. My 12- year-old daughter said at dinner the other night that she can't remember the last time she sat down and watched a TV show. While I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing, the reason she doesn't watch, is.
Her nightly assignments are tedious, difficult and in some cases (in my humble opinion) unnecessary. There doesn't seem to be any co-ordination between teachers as to when tests are given ("Oh Mrs. Gelman, its a quiz, not a test."), how much reading is assigned and when papers are due. It's just all happening all the time and it's stressing us all out.
I say all of us because my husband and I are just as involved as the kids. Whether it's helping them memorize capital cities or figure out the math challenge or just reading and rereading the paragraph they are crafting on the plight of the Chinese immigrant during the 1920s (my 9 year old is studying that one) we are with them every step of the way.
And if I'm painting a rosy picture of an evening of homework at the Gelman house…MY BAD. There are fights and frustrations and tears of exhaustion. This is not the relationship I want to have with my kids and it's not how I want to spend our family time. We can't ever make plans during the week because the girls are too stressed that they won't get their homework done. And forget about taking a sick day. They'd rather go to school sick than miss a day and get behind in their homework.
Worse than the homework, though, is the reaction you get when you complain about it. Teachers and administrators have an answer for every complaint – probably because they have had to address them so many times.
Here are some typical answers: "We have so much more to teach the children these days it can't all be done during school hours." Or "If your child can't get it done in 2 hours (two hours???) then just leave it and we will deal with it at school" (yes, and give them an incomplete). Or "We have been giving the same amount of homework for 20 years. Your child just has too many distractions."
This last answer is actually a valid point. Social media makes it easy for them to get sidetracked. But it can also be very helpful. I walked into my daughters room the other night to find her face-timing with a friend. "Aha!" I said. "Not so hard at work after all." Then I saw that they were quizzing each other on science vocabulary words. The 21st century version of a study group.
So here we are about to launch into a two- week spring break. I'm so excited to just relax and have fun with my girls. Oh but wait. They have both been assigned a book to read and a project…due right after the break.
Seriously, it is time for schools to revisit and revise their homework policies.
Do you have any homework woes to share?

From the Director: The Affordable Care Act
The expertise of libraries hinges on our ability to help you find resources that entertain, educate and inform.
The latest example at KDL: we're midway into The Affordable Care Act and You, free informational programs presented by Priority Health, at several of our branches. If you're wondering whether you qualify for the Healthcare Marketplace, how it may affect your family or when to apply, the aim is to provide straightforward information about the new law.
Our partnership with Priority Health on this effort is just weeks old and already has become a model for other libraries. At the Michigan Library Association's annual meeting later this month, librarians from around the state will learn, based on what KDL is doing right now, how they can better position themselves to help their patrons find answers. It's what we do, and what we are passionate about.

Red Tails Review
January 23rd, 2012
Red Tails is a 2012 war film.
Directed by: Anthony Hemingway
Starring: Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard, Daniela Ruah, Bryan Cranston, Nate Parker, David Oyelowo, Ryan Early, Method Man, Elijah Kelly and Ne-Yo.
Based on the Tuskegee Airmen, we follow a group of African American pilots in the middle of World War II.
While it's not the first film with an all black cast, it doesn't stand out as much as any other movie. Yes, it has action, good special effects and average to decent acting. However, despite its colorful sequences and calibrated aerial dogfights, it was just boring. Not a bad film, but not along the lines of Pearl Harbor or even Memphis Belle. I wasn't going into the auditorium expecting this movie to be heavy or over the top. At least, I would have liked to see some major drama. Since African Americans were always dismissed and treated poorly back in the day, you would think we could dive into some of the characters in depth with how they deal with the problems of their color. Nope, nope, nope. Nada.
We do get a history lesson, where the faithful 332nd Fighter Group are as important to us as their counterpart brothers. They fought against racism and delivered the highest expectations belittles by the white man. This is all fine and dandy but history adapted to a feature film doesn't mean a damn thing unless your performers can deliver above average acting. Even the top billed actors Cuba Gooding Jr. and Terrence Howard just stayed on the sidelines, where one simply smokes and the other takes lip from his superiors. Lets not forget the beautiful Daniel Rush from NCIS: Los Angeles, but hey, we need something beautiful to look at to ease our stressed minds from cheese and ham. She doesn't do anything except speak Italian and be part of a love story that, from what I've heard, never happened. For a movie to represent the country's heroes, they weren't displayed too well.
In an interview with JohnStewart on The Daily Show, George Lucas said:
"I am hoping that if we have successful first weekend, there will be a prequel and a sequel, and they are better than this movie by a long shot..." Sure...
And of course, the cherry on top... "This is as close that you will ever get to Episode VII..."
The visuals were really good, at least for me. I could tell at the times the green screen was in play, but steering away from the close-ups of the cockpits, the aerial battles were top notch. Since Lucas, our Jabba the Hut executive producer was inspired by these air battles for the space sequences in Star Wars, its not surprise we get the same treatment here. I even had the chance to see a behind-the-scenes video on how they filmed the characters in their planes. It would have been fun to see the detailed style the film was originally going to be like, a la Lawrence of Arabia.
Overall, the battles are entertaining, but the rest is just boring. But, I'm fair. If this is indeed Luca's last time involved with big productions, I am very disappointed. 24 years in the making? It would have faired better back in its original 1992 release.

THE IVF COMPANION CD - A self hypnosis CD programme
The IVF Companion CD , a self hypnosis Audio CD helps women increase their chances of successful implantation and to have a better experience during treatment.
In a recent clinical trial in Israel showed that women who used Hypnosis during IVF had double the chance of success.
IVF can be a very difficult, stressful and emotional process. For many women the transition from conceiving a baby by using the bodies natural approach to a medical and clinical procedure can have additional concerns.
Women who are more relaxed during IVF have been shown to have a higher chance of success and are better able to deal with all the procedures involved.
The programme can help you:
Increase your feelings of relaxation, calm and confidence
Overcome any fears connected with IVF or with conceiving
Address any emotional reasons which may have stopped you from conceiving
Learn techniques to help you stay more relaxed during all procedures
Manage self administering injections more easily
Stay calm and relaxed during the removal of eggs
Stay relaxed and calm during the replacement of embryos
Deal more effectively with daily stresses
Sleep better, have more energy and feel more positive
Focus on other areas in your life other than IVF and conception
The IVF Companion:
Natal hypnotherapy has bought out the first self hypnosis CD dedicated to helping women effective through IVF. This effective CD helps with relaxation and guided visualisation to help you emotionally, mentally and physically prepare your body for successful IVF.
The CD consists of soft back ground music with a soothing voice taking you into deep relaxation followed by positive suggestions and encouraging visualisation.
The CD has 3 tracks. The first is an introduction and only need be listened to once.
The second is to be listened to every day from the beginning of your treatment until the replacement of embryos. This track focuses on preparing you for the clinical procedures, helping with the changes taking place in your body and helping you keep positive and relaxed.
Once the embryos have been replaced you can start listening to the third track, which is focused on helping you stay relaxed, focused on other things (not just on the IVF) and helps with visualisations to encourage your body to accept and develop the embryos.
Mrs Atwell, Wales
|When you';re going through fertility treatment, it's very difficult to stay calm - I purchased this CD and was able to keep my focus

I am currently 20 weeks also and I have been hesitant to buy things for the baby before this. I found out when I was a month pregnant that I had cancer on my cervix and I was afraid I would lose the baby. I had surgery a week ago to remove it and now that I know that the baby is ok I am going to go shopping for him!posted 02/22/2010 by dianacarroll
The way i look at it start right away so your not unprepared. Save money as well. I wish i could have started asap.posted 02/22/2010 by BabyMamaCass
Wait until after all your baby showers. Once that's done, you're more likely to know exactly what you need. We waited, and it was a good thing, because there ended up being only about 5 things we needed to buy for the first 12 months!posted 02/22/2010 by Rebekers
I know some moms who start shopping for diapers and creams (lotions, baby wash, diaper creams, etc) that early. they stock up when there's a sale/coupons, etc. so when baby comes they have a stash of diapers and things they know they'll need. i didn't buy anything that early, but i did start an account at the bank to start saving specifically for baby stuff. That was the money we used after our shower when we saw what our generous family/friends gave and what we still needed to get. I don't think there's any harm in buying some stuff at this stage (especially if you see something for a great price that you know you'll use-- wipes, diapers, baby wash, etc)posted 02/16/2010 by CuteMama729
I'd wait to go shopping just yet. I got real excited with my 2nd pregnancy and told everyone I was pregnant, went shopping a bit, started to prepare for the baby and ended up miscarrying. I don't think you have that to worry about, but you'll get so much stuff for the baby shower! Instead of actually buying stuff, maybe go to babies r us, target, walmart, etc and make some baby registries. That way you get the fun of shopping and knock out making a registry.posted 03/24/2009 by cheribabii613
I've started shopping already! We are having a boy, so I have Newborn, 0-3, and a few 3-6 month clothes ready(not sure of his size)! My first child was tiny, and we only had 0-3 mo clothes, so the day we were released, my DH and Mom had to go out and buy Newborn clothes to fit her! Also, you want to start getting your diapers and other must have items as soon as possible! We were running out to the store every 3 days to buy more diapers, so it's a good idea to have a good supply of diapers and wipes ready. Another thig is make sure you have diaper rash cream (Boudreaux's is best), Mylicon, Newborn and Size 1 diapers, wipes, mittens, about 7-10 onesies, a few sleepers, booties or socks, blankets, caps, and wash clothes and towels. Those are things you will need as soon as the baby is born, even in the hospital! Hope that helps!posted 03/24/2009 by LouisianaLdy1979
I would wait! You don't really know what you prefer until you start using the products. My gf took me to the baby store to register at 4 mos preg and all I ended up doing is choosing the stuff she used. Turns out my hubby and I did a bunch of research and made our own choices that worked out much better. Some things are trial and error. I bought the most expensive breastpump, but I only needed a moderate one, given my usage.posted 02/11/2009 by Janis Vinson
I am 19 weeks, and this is my second pregnancy. In first pregnancy I started to buy everything early then when I became 27 weeks I almost completed everything, then...I lost the baby...the baby died at 28 weeks. So, I will never buy anything until the 8th month this timeposted 02/02/2009 by Noor2009
My husbands friends told him to not buy a thing till our 3rd trimenster!! I could have killed his friend b/c I want to start putting the nursery together (I am 19th weeks and we know the sex of the baby). Since he thinks something will happen to the baby if we buy things too early he refuses to talk about purchasing anything!!! So shop away if you don't have a superstitious partner!!!posted 10/24/2008 by StCloud Florida
I would start now. I'm 19 weeks and I started buying a while ago. Just get the little things that you're going to need a lot of, like: bottles wash cloths, pasifiers, bibs, diapers, ect. All that fun stuff, it's easier to buy throughout your pregnancy than have to crunch down on buying that stuff a few weeks before the baby comes. I have even bought a few outfits, I don't know the sex yet, but it's still fun to buy unisex onsies or gowns! Have fun!posted 02/29/2008 by julymommy89

Police arrested four civil rights activists who staged a demonstration to protest a North Carolina county school board's decision to end a busing program.
Multiple media outlets reported Tuesday that four activists were arrested after disrupting a meeting of the Wake County Board of Education in Raleigh. Those arrested include state NAACP leader the Rev. William Barber.
A woman who answered the phone at NAACP headquarters Tuesday would not comment. A Raleigh police spokesman said he didn't have firm details about the arrests.
The activists were protesting the board's decision to end a busing program aimed at promoting economic diversity in North Carolina's largest school district.
The protesters say the new policy will effectively resegregate Wake schools.

TCL > April 2004 Issue > Sign Language Interpreters: Who Pays?
Readers interested in contributing an article on legal services, pro bono, and access to justice topics should contact Jo Ann Viola Salazar at email@example.com.
Eric Maxfield is Attorney and Coordinator of the Protection and Advocacy for Individual Rights Program at The Legal Center for People with Disabilities and Older People—(303) 722-0300 or (800) 288-1376.
In enacting the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"),1 Congress found:
Individuals with disabilities continually encounter various forms of discrimination, including outright intentional exclusion, the discriminatory effects of architectural, transportation, and communication barriers, overprotective rules and policies, failure to make modifications to existing facilities and practices, exclusionary qualification standards and criteria, segregation, and relegation to lesser services, programs, activities, benefits, jobs, or other opportunities; . . .2 (Emphasis added.)
Title III of the ADA establishes a right to equal access to public accommodations. Both Title III and U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") regulations interpreting the ADA specifically include the offices of lawyers in the definition of public accommodation.3 In addition, Colorado's Rules of Professional Conduct ("Colo.RPC" or "Colorado Rules") contain ethical rules that are implicated when representing (or considering representing) a client who is deaf or hearing impaired.4
Therefore, attorneys would do well to consider effective communication as both an important civil right and as a necessary component of competent practice. The following questions are posed from the perspective of an attorney in private practice, licensed in Colorado.
Question 1
"Do I have to provide a sign language interpreter during the initial meeting with a potential client who is deaf, even if I ultimately decline to represent the potential client?"
Answer: "Effective communication" is the responsibility of an attorney to any person who seeks his or her services.
Fluency in sign language does not indicate fluency in English or literacy. Many individuals who are deaf use American Sign Language ("ASL") ". . . as their primary language and means of communication."10 Although derived from English, ASL is a distinct language, "with a separate historical tradition, and separate morphological and syntactic principles of organization."11 Again, under ADA requirements for effective communication, it is the lawyer's duty to assess whether the recipient of his or her declination/rejection letter can understand what is written.
Once the lawyer has determined that the would-be client requires an interpreter for effective communication, the attorney must provide one, unless an undue burden would result (see the answer to Question 2 for a discussion of "undue burden").12 It is normally acceptable to set an appointment through the use of written notes (if the person understands that communication).13 The DOJ (analyzing 28 C.F.R. § 36.303 regarding "auxiliary aids") directs: "The type of auxiliary aid or service necessary to ensure effective communication will vary in accordance with the length and complexity of the communication involved."14
Furthermore, the DOJ emphasizes that the ADA does not limit the requirements for the provision of interpreter services to the most extreme circumstances.15 Instead, the DOJ indicates that a wide range of communications involving health, legal matters, and finance may be sufficiently lengthy or complex to require the provision of interpreter services.16 It is an effective practice for all lawyers to contact interpreters well in advance of receiving contact by an individual who is deaf so as to learn appropriate retainer procedures.
Question 2
"Assume I agree to represent an individual who is deaf and who uses a sign language interpreter for effective communication. What if it becomes apparent that the case is more complex than expected and will incur many times the cost of interpreting than was originally or reasonably expected?"
Answer: Over time, as different protected classes come to more full participation in our society, lawyers accept the costs of participation as a natural and necessary part of "overhead" expenses. Not coincidentally, this is the perspective on costs formalized in the ADA.
As long as the cost of the interpreter is not unduly burdensome, attorneys must provide for effective communication.
Question 3
"May a family member or member of the law firm use sign language for an individual who is deaf or may e-mail or other written communication be used to keep interpreter costs down?"
Answer: Even if a family member would like to interpret for a relative, it is not likely to be effective. First, the family member may be in a poor position to interpret because that person's own emotions may filter and skew the communication. Also, considerations of confidentiality may adversely affect the ability of a family member to interpret effectively.
Signing and interpreting [are] not the same thing. Being able to sign does not mean that a person can process spoken communication into the proper signs, nor does it mean that he or she possesses the proper skills to observe someone signing and change their signed or fingerspelled communication into spoken words. The interpreter must be able to interpret both receptively and expressively.
In terms of accurately relaying crucial legal terms and concepts, only a professional interpreter who is trained and experienced in the sign language understood by the individual may be effective. The interpreter also must be able to use any necessary specialized vocabulary accurately and impartially.
Written communications may be used, as long as the communication is effective. If the individual is literate and desires to communicate through writing, the ADA is satisfied.
ILLUSTRATION 2A: H goes to his doctor for a bi-weekly check-up, during which the nurse records H's blood pressure and weight. Exchanging notes and using gestures are likely to provide an effective means of communication at this type of check-up.
BUT: Upon experiencing symptoms of a mild stroke, H returns to his doctor for a thorough examination and battery of tests and requests that an interpreter be provided. H's doctor should arrange for the services of a qualified interpreter, as an interpreter is likely to be necessary for effective communication with H, given the length and complexity of the communication involved.
Question 4
"In terms of choosing an interpreter, must I provide the individual's choice of interpreters and must an interpreter be certified for legal matters?"
Answer: Although it is not mandatory that an individual's choice of interpreter be provided, consultation with the person with a disability is strongly encouraged, especially because the individual then will likely inform the service provider about his or her specific needs for effective communication.
The key question in determining whether effective communication will result is whether the interpreter is "qualified," not whether he or she has been actually certified by an official licensing body. A qualified interpreter is one "who is able to interpret effectively, accurately and impartially, both receptively and expressively, using any necessary specialized vocabulary." An individual does not have to be certified in order to meet this standard. A certified interpreter may not meet this standard in all situations, e.g., where the interpreter is not familiar with the specialized vocabulary involved in the communication at issue.
Question 5
"If I represent one person who is deaf and provide an interpreter, will I have to provide an interpreter for every other deaf client who walks through my door, even if I can't afford the expense?"
Answer: The ADA requirements may lead an attorney to maintain an ongoing cost/burden analysis, and may ultimately result in the attorney declining to represent an individual, based on that burden assessment. However, even given an occasional turndown, referrals by past clients to others who are deaf may still prove to be a positive and productive source of clients.
A basic premise of the ADA is that a public accommodation may not exclude a would-be client because that person has a disability.
If an attorney anticipates an undue financial burden (considering the appropriate factors) in connection with the provision of a sign-language interpreter, he or she may lawfully decline representation.
Question 6
"If state or federal courts are required to provide interpreters for hearings and trials, does that mean I must provide an interpreter too?"
Answer: State and federal courts are required to provide interpreters to participants of any kind, including plaintiffs, defendants, witnesses, jurors, and observers. The Guidelines adopted by the Judicial Conference of the Administrative Office of the United States
Although this state statute allows an individual to make a written waiver of his or her right to an interpreter, none of the civil rights statutes discussed in this article offers a waiver procedure.
Question 7
"As a sole practitioner with low overhead, can't I argue that any cost is unduly burdensome?"
Answer: The "undue burden" standard means "significant difficulty or expense"
Some readers may remember that the ADA originally contained two exemptions, now expired, for smaller businesses. These exemptions covered: (1) events that occurred before July 26, 1992, in regard to businesses with twenty-five or fewer employees and gross receipts of $1 million or less; and (2) events that occurred before January 26, 1993, in regard to businesses with ten or fewer employees and gross receipts of $500,000, or less.
The DOJ guidance interpreting the "undue burden" factors is indirect, but ample.
Question 8
"Would I need to provide an interpreter in a pro bono case?"
Answer: Yes, unless such provision would cause an undue burden. The undue burden test does not consider the payment, if any, by the client/customer.
Question 9
"Are there any ways to soften the financial impact of providing an interpreter?"
Answer: There are at least two ways to soften the financial impact of providing an interpreter. First, the CBA established a reimbursement program in 1995 for member attorneys who provide interpreter services. The CBA Board of Governors originally allotted $20,000 for the program. Although the original allotment has been spent, the CBA has provided between $6,000 and $7,000 in 2002 to benefit member attorneys and clients who are deaf. There is currently a $250 per client limit.
Second, the Internal Revenue Code contains a tax incentive for public accommodations that pay or incur expenses for "qualified" sign language interpreters.
An "eligible small business" is defined as a person with gross receipts for the preceding tax year that did not exceed $1 million or, if gross receipts were greater, employed not more than thirty full-time employees during the preceding tax year. Also, such person must elect this provision. The credit may be claimed using IRS Form 8826. As noted above, an important requirement under the ADA is that costs of an interpreter should be considered to be costs of overhead rather than costs of litigation.
"Other than the ADA and Colorado Civil Rights Act,
Answer: The Colorado Rules provide important authoritative support for the specific ADA requirements of participation and effective communication: For example, Colo.RPC 1.3 states, in part: "A lawyer should act with commitment and dedication to the interests of the client and with zeal in advocacy on the client's behalf." Furthermore, under Colo.RPC 1.4, covering communication, the Rule states: "The guiding principle is that the lawyer would fulfill reasonable client expectations for information consistent with the duty to act in the client's best interest, and the client's overall requirements as to the character of representation." Finally, Colo.RPC 1.14, "Client Under a Disability," requires an attorney, regardless of the disability of the client, to obtain information from a client to the extent possible.
Effective communication under the ADA is a basic civil right ensuring equal opportunity to participate in the mainstream of American society. An attorney may not refuse to accept a case because the would-be client is deaf. The costs associated with the provision of a sign language interpreter may not be charged to the client.

Former Eagles defensive end Hugh Douglas was arrested and charged with third-degree assault and second-degree strangulation Tuesday, according to WFSB in Hartford, Conn.
Citing court documents, the report claims Douglas got into a fight with a woman at the Marriott Hotel at Adriaen's Landing in Hartford. He allegedly "grabbed her by the neck" and "slammed her into the walls several times."
Douglas told investigators that the victim's injuries occurred during rough sex. He's next due in court Oct. 21.
Last month, Douglas was fired by ESPN after reportedly directing racial slurs at a coworker in a nightclub. Before joining ESPN in 2011, Douglas had been a regular on 94 WIP and Fox 29.
Douglas spent 10 seasons in the NFL -- six with the Eagles -- and recorded 80 career sacks. He made three Pro Bowls with the Eagles.

As the Brandon Marshall holdout saga becomes increasingly agitated, Broncos coach Josh McDaniels has attempted to send a message of peace.
Marshall's agent, Kennard Mc-Guire, made an aggressive negotiating move Tuesday by telling Fox 31 News that Marshall requested a trade during the wide receiver's one-on-one meeting with Broncos owner Pat Bowlen last Friday afternoon.
The meeting occurred after Marshall skipped the mandatory minicamp session that morning. Marshall later was spotted carrying packed boxes to his car before leaving the team's Dove Valley headquarters.
"Mr. Bowlen has said that ownership will do everything in its power to accommodate his wishes," McGuire told the television station.
Marshall, too, appears to be preparing for his exit from Denver. He wrote a new entry on his blog Tuesday afternoon in which he said, "Change is probably best" for him personally and professionally.
"It's hard leaving an organization ran (sic) by one of the best owners in all of sports, and someone who's been there for me through my ups and downs," Marshall wrote in an entry titled "Clearing the Air." "The hardest thing was hearing Mr. B wish me luck in the future, but we both came to the conclusion that this is probably the best thing for me to grow on and off the field." Marshall went on to thank Denver fans.
Despite the strong words from Marshall and his agent, there has been no indication the Broncos will seek to deal Marshall, who is unhappy with his contract that will pay him $2.
"We met after Pat's meeting with Brandon and we are going to continue our dialogue with Brandon and his representative," McDaniels said. "We look forward to having Brandon at training camp."
Bowlen declined a request seeking comment. Marshall has been one of the NFL's top receivers the previous two seasons, when he combined for 206 receptions, 2,590 yards and 13 touchdowns.
And, yes, he is affordable. According to a USA Today study, there were 58 receivers in the NFL who drew more than $2.2 million in salary and prorated bonuses last year, including Eddie Royal, Brandon Stokley and Keary Colbert of the Broncos.
Marshall's contract is more reflective of the fact he was a fourth-round draft pick than his production, although because he was named to the Pro Bowl last season, he did get a bump this season from $535,000 to nearly $2.2 million.
Conspiring against Marshall as a long-term Broncos investment, however, is a hip injury that he had surgery for April 1, and off-field legal problems that potentially leave him vulnerable to the league's personal conduct policy.
If Marshall doesn't report to the Broncos by Aug. 12, roughly two weeks after training camp commences, he could risk forfeiting not only $105,000 of the prorated signing bonus he received as a rookie in 2006, but a fourth year of service time, which would put him another year away from unrestricted free agency.
Marshall, who already is facing a $35,329 penalty for skipping the team's three-day mandatory minicamp last weekend, would also be facing stiff fines for each day he misses at training camp.
The NFL owners' decision last year to reopen the collective bargaining agreement also is working against Marshall's desire for a long-term deal. Under the former CBA rules, players such as Marshall could have become un-restricted free agents after their fourth season.
But with the owners essentially vaporizing the CBA for the 2010 season, fourth- and fifth-year players would be subject to restricted free agency, which essentially limits them to one-year contracts.

A single car accident claimed the life of a Pitt County woman.
It happened between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m. Wednesday afternoon on Highway 11 South in Bethel.
The Highway Patrol says 66-year-old Kathleen Craigens died when the van she was driving went off the road and flipped several times, landing upside down in a person's yard.
Troopers are still investigating, but say no other car was involved in the accident. They are looking into whether speed may be a factor.
Craigens was married to Thomas Craigens--the former manager of the Hope Lodge in Greenville.

ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar, August 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Mouvance Ravalomanana has commissioned a national opinion poll to seek the views of the Malagasy people concerning the present political crisis. Key data is now released in the hope that the people will be allowed to decide who their next President should be in a free and fair election process. The recent decisions of the CES will disenfranchise millions of voters of their first choice candidates. The opinion poll reveals:
When asked to compare successes of the governments of Marc Ravalomanana and Andry Rajoelina:
Creating jobs 57% 17%
Attracting foreign investment 57% 14%
Healthcare 23% 54%
Protecting civil rights 38% 33%
Improving quality of life 46% 21%
Fighting corruption 47% 16%
Reducing poverty 52% 16%
Asked what the people of Madagascar think about Neny Ravalomanana:
In addition 61% of people think that Andry Rajoelina cannot be trusted because he broke his promise not to stand for President. Whilst under Rajoelina's leadership 64% of people think Madagascar's standing in the international community has fallen.
The poll also reveals that the two most popular candidates are Andry Rajoelina and Mme Neny Ravalomanana, with the next most popular candidate only achieving 7% support.
If the forthcoming election is to have any credibility then the voters of Madagascar must be given a truly representative list of candidates from which to choose their next President.

: MediaTakeOut.com was asked by Adrian Peterson's SECOND babys mother Erica to put out this statement on her behalf:
My name is Erica. Y'all ran a story on me back in June or July being Adrian Peterson "baby mama" well I'm reaching out to you guys in semi reference to recent events.
We all have heard about the unfortunate passing of his youngest little boy he was not familiar with. I'm not going to speak on any of that because that's not my business but what I am sick and tired of is the media painting this sob story for HIM that he didn't get a chance to meet his son and poor him.
When Adrian has 5 other children that are alive and well that he picks and chooses which ones he wants to deal with. Showing favoritism.
I have his 2nd child 1st boy so I'm not just talking I live it and know his True character.
This same thing happen in summer 2011 he had 2 children pop up out the wood works that he DID KNOW about but just didn't tell anyone or bring them around until they were OVER A YEAR OLD and they lived in the same city.
This is not me trying to be messy bc it's not slander if it's true! And it all is!
He cheats on his "fiancé" has had 4 other children on her and tries to hide them. Why?! U keep f*cking making them! There's 6 babies and 6 baby mamas. If u gonna sprinkle them across the country actually being a dad too is just as important as sending a check! Diddy can do it, Wayne can do it, why can't you?

Never was particularly interested in MGK but his honesty and realness as a person made me a fan. Unfortunately this interview did not make MGK fans too fond of me.
10 thoughts on "My "Controversial" Interview With Machine Gun Kelly"
I'm not a fan of MGK in any shape or form and hate his music but Rosenberg you're a herb! Typical rich white guy that's into Hip-Hop hating on the other white guy that's into Hip-Hop out of insecurity. Laughable!
While I appreciate you playing "big brother" to MGK, you come off really condescending and unprepared. No, I don't care for his music either, but I don't think that it's your job to make him feel like crap about his inexperience or lack of hip hop knowledge. It's just like what you did to Schoolboy Q the other day. I'd be pissed if I was him. He came on your show with Kendrick Lamar and while your main goal was to interview Kendrick, you drilled Schoolboy on the content of a song that everyone knows is a reality that A. isn't necessarily something to be celebrated, but B. happens because we aren't perfect and sometimes we all have lapses in judgement. We understand that you are passionate about the dangers of drinking and driving and we are definitely sympathetic to your loss, Rosenberg, but don't take it out on that guy. Like he said–he raps about gangbanging too and black men get killed everyday because of that. But you didn't seem to be too interested in addressing that topic (during "black history month" as you pointed out). He apologized, but he shouldn't have had to because all he did was write a song about his own personal complications. He just released a pretty spectacular album and you hardly mentioned that at all (once again–unprepared). Kendrick, on the other hand is STILL working on his album, so it didnt' make sense that you'd rather talk to him about rap life rather than focus on his boy's more recent project. You're a great conversationalist/interviewer otherwise, but these last two incidents just makes you come off as an elitist douche. Thanks
wow Safa —
what you said was wrong on EVERY SINGLE LEVEL…
first off i really was not a dick to MGK..I Know he didn't feel that I was..I was honest and respectful to MGK..I just was never interested in him before..thats my choice as a DJ…i know he has a fanbase but he's brand new…i did him the HONOR of putting him on hot 97
second of all — I am SO SICK of asshole naysayers hating on my feelings on drinking and driving…Schoolboy has a song absolutely promoting drinking and driving and i challenged him on it in a completely professional way..i warned his management, was friendly, thankful, and honest…
cats like you claim to be supporters but to hate on me on something so personal and honest–and fair–is needless and just trying to get attention..well u got my attention..now fuck off..thanks
No one is hating on your feelings or trying to get attention, dude. My deep condolences go out to you and your family, but how on earth am I benefiting from this conversation. I don't need attention. I'm just commenting on your comment board. If you don't like it, then maybe you should disable it. My point is that Schoolboy doesn't owe anyone an apology and you really cornered him into doing that by giving him the "HONOR" (natch), to be on your show. You had your own agenda and it clearly had nothing to do with promoting the artist. That shit was blatant slander. It wasn't a "challenge"; you basically condemned his music to his face. Not to mention that the song in question has more to do with degrading women than it does with drinking and driving, but like I said before, you didn't seem interested in addressing those other topics either. Hmm…I wonder what Kay Foxx thinks about that? Don't be a dick, dude. Thanks.
In fairness, at this point, I think that you should take the parentheses off of the term "controversial." No doubt this was a controversial interview, maybe even Controversial. What is interesting to me is why it was so controversial. It can't be the "end result" that is causing the stir. I believe—and it seems that most others (even the super angry ones) believe—that this was one of the best interviews that MGK has ever done. The subject matter was interesting, it was substantive as hell, and it provided an opportunity for MGK to demonstrate his passionate and often compelling views on a variety of tricky-ass subjects. It also provided him an opportunity to explain himself on issues where he may not have been so compelling in the past. So, thank you for conducting an interview that sparked a genuine dialogue on interesting issues, and thank you also for not presenting the usual tripe.
That said, there is no question that the interview touched a raw nerve in me, and obviously in many others. And so I am trying to figure out, objectively, why that was. I guess my goal is to try to explain why so many were so bothered, but in a semi-literate way that doesn't involve name-calling. Grab a beer or a cup of coffee, this is long.
But first let me start with a caveat. Unlike the previous posters, I am a Machine Gun Kelly fan. A big fan, and an even bigger supporter. I say even bigger "supporter" because I don't think, in this case, that you necessarily need to be a lover of all MGK music/antics (i.e. a "fan") in order to wish him success (i.e. a "supporter"). It is an interesting phenomenon, and I think it has something to do with how he built his fan base. But regardless, my caveat was intended to acknowledge that I am admittedly biased.
I have been following MGK since roughly mid-2009, when "following" him meant being one of a couple thousand Facebook "fans" who would watch his stuff on YouTube and try to get others to watch. I remember him arranging "meet-ups" to pass out mixtapes at local high schools, with results varying from 5 to maybe 30 actual attendees. I saw him "open" for other relative unknowns, and perform at serious dumps. I also remember his first sold out headlining show at a popular but small (500? capacity) Cleveland venue. He talked that night about the fact that a year earlier he'd been wrapping burritos at the Chipotle next door, hoping that one day he might get to perform at that particular club. As I recall, he blew his rent and got evicted in order to attend a local hip hop conference in the hope of forwarding that dream (the true facts may vary, recollection is a little vague). But what I remember most clearly was his genuine surprise and unmitigated happiness when the fans in the audience at that show knew the words to his songs.
Throughout all of this, what has always come through is the sense that making music is quite literally the only thing that this guy wants (and maybe knows how) to do. He doesn't have a backup, there is no plan B. He wants to become well known, but it seems not so much for the sake of it, but because it will allow him to make more music for more people. My guess (obviously rank speculation, but founded in knowledge of his music, etc.), is that this creates tremendous pressure, some of which I think that you saw manifest itself the other day. For those of us who are fans and supporters, it also creates a tremendous sense of loyalty. With some (and I don't count myself in this group), it borders on fanatical loyalty. Even among the some newer fans you see this, I think in part because you can find a lot of his story in his music ("The Return" is particularly evocative but there are others). He also had the foresight to document significant pieces of his story in YouTube videos, many (though certainly not all) do a very good job of portraying the individual who you met in the studio the other day (as opposed to the "raging arrestee" seen more often in the media). Further, through Twitter, You Tube, etc., he has often proven himself to be genuinely humble and deeply grateful to every fan, which only intensifies the loyalty. So my point (and yes, I do have one) is, that you started off with what I believe to be a particularly "rabid" fan base, most of whom believe that they actually "know" the artist personally. Maybe this isn't all that unusual, but the hundreds (thousands?) of them running around with "Lace Up" tattoos suggests otherwise.
So, perhaps this was just overreaction from overzealous fans? Maybe, to some extent, but I think there was more to it than that. I think a more interesting piece of it has to do with what I'll call the "white rapper" phenomenon. You mentioned it yourself, at least obliquely, in the interview. Specifically, for reasons that I don't really understand, there seems to be a generalized inability for fans of one white rapper also to be fans of another white rapper. It is not a universal by any means, but for most there seems to be an irresistible impulse to pick a favorite and declare the "wackiness" (blah blah blah) of all others. It is as if these kids think that their iPods will spontaneously combust if the songs of MGK, Yelawolf, and Mac Miller are all allowed to coexist on one device. I see debates about the G.O.A.T. in the black hip hop world all the time, but rarely, if ever, this generalized need to incessantly compare one to another. So it is likely that MGK fans would have reacted poorly (and irrationally) regardless of whether you'd chosen to liken him to Mac, Asher, Webby, Sam Adams, or [fill-in-the-blank-white rapper].
But then you really went and did it. You brought up an alleged similarity to Yelawolf, in my view the most despised of the despised white rapper comparisons. Further, although you didn't say this out loud, the subtext that was hanging heavily in the air was that the similarity you heard was intentional—e.g. that MGK was biting Yela's style. Yes I know you didn't say that, but it was what I heard, and it appears (from the comments) that it was what a lot of others heard. The further inference was that MGK was a poor-man's second, since you are an "OG Yela supporter," and yet were merely "skeptical" of MGK. This statement was a far cry from simply asking MGK how he feels about the constant comparisons. And, while perhaps more journalistically effective, it struck me, and I am guessing others, as just flat out rude. Honest, perhaps, but also unabashedly disrespectful . Particularly since the comparison was to a guy that many MGK fan/supporters (and here I am among the fanatics) who consider Yelawolf to be a punk-ass cracker who, without provocation, chose to issue a cage-match invitation to someone 11-years his junior. And before you say that it wasn't unprovoked–yes, it was. I have listened to the interview that Yelawolf allegedly was responding to, and the only thing MGK ever said about him was that (1) he doesn't sound like Yela (he doesn't); and (2) yes (an *honest* answer) he does think that Yela takes shots at him (which he does – "If ya wanna compare me, compare me to a legend, don't compare me to a young fool." Is that a reference to a mythical "young fool" who Yela believes he is frequently compared to? Unlikely). But I digress. The point is that the Yela reference was controversial as hell, and made much more so by your delivery. Intentional or otherwise, it was inflammatory.
Then there was the oft-cited lack of research. Now, I know, it is not your job to spend 25 hours learning every minute detail of an artist's life before they show up. I think many of the fan-haters were unreasonable in their expectations on this point. That said, the admitted (and palpable) total lack of effort to do any research read as contempt. Not merely "it's not my job," but rather "it's not worth my time." Since I think (based on your comments) that you've since come to at least like the person (if not the music), you can see how this would engender some anger. Put another way, now that you have seem to like the person (I think), I don't believe that you would put in zero effort if you were to interview him again. You might still be tough as hell, and ask hard questions, but I suspect that those hard questions would be based on hard evidence rather than an admitted (and proudly professed!) ignorance. IMHO I'd rather hear you say "song X sucks, why?" than "I'm not really familiar with anything you've ever done." At least the former question suggests that it was worth your time to look into the issue.
And then finally there was your co-host (? Kay Fox (sp?).) The insolent body language, visible sneers, and "pity party" comment were for me the kickers. Did she listen to the same conversation that we all heard before she issued the "pity party" statement? This is how you react to an otherwise eye-opening discussion where somebody reveals some interesting things about his psyche and where he is at? Wow. Some people elevate a conversation, this was the diametric opposite. She took what could have been a solid close and instead reignited the anger with an uncalled for shot at somebody who had just done you the HONOR of getting "real" for your radio audience.
So there's my armchair analysis. I expect you to disagree on many aspects. That's okay, maybe I am wrong on some things. But I know that the first time I watched this I was enraged, and I've tried figure it out the best I can. I hope that you think about this, and at least somewhat come to understand why people might have become angry, at times even at times irrationally and inarticulately angry.
Still, I liked the interview, and I look forward to seeing another one someday. I even look forward to difficult questions and confrontations. I only hope that the next interview will telegraph more interest and respect. I think it will though.
Peace out –
this was a really fucking good interview! seriously one of the best. there was honesty from both sides. you NEVER hear that in an interview. and i could really relate to the dude. like everyones trying to pretend to be like jayz when in fact we're all a lot closer to dmx. its sounds fucking retarded now that ive typed it. but you know what he means.
K-fox on the other hand completely missed the point. that was real fucking rude what she said to him about the pity party.
like the guy above said… some people "elevate to a conversation". peter you really did and so did mgk. kfox on the other hand, can eat a fucking bag of salty dicks. what a bitch.
Dope interview Rosenberg, you kept in real. I feel what MGK said about Hov, but regardless I don't hold DMX in THAT high regard.
Bored of white rappers carrying the same embarresing adolesent chip on the shoulder attitude. Pulling out the heroin card isn't about elevating the conversation, it's played out. I see how MGK has a strong following of kids and wish him success but its unfortunate that guys like him, vanilla ice, kid rock, eminem and yela come across so corny..Sorry but thats how I see them. Lots of good white rappers out there, but seems that most who get into the limelight act like annoying teenagers.
Rosenberg did a good job..respected his honesty which is rare in interviews. Shame that he appeared pretty unaware of most of MGK music.. more knowledge could've led to a more constructive pep talk.
fucking lulz at that ninja that wrote an essay.
I preferred when every other comment was:
"where's the new juan ep!!"
the interviewer thinks he is a fortune teller or some shit.

Vineyard Mechanization: Does it Obscure Terroir?
Nov 2008 Issue of Wine Business Monthly
:link { color: blue } :visited { color: purple } With increasing mechanization, the question has arisen: Are we destroying the "terroir" component of wines?

Great rider but not a good choice for a development rider as he is known for just riding around the problems.
As for him "definately not coming back" , we'll see, about a week before announcing his retirement he said that there was no truth in the rumour that he was retiring.

awesome!ysk1985 | Aug. 5, 2013 | See all ysk1985's reviews »
This game is great. You are sent on a ship to discover what happened to the previous crew. The story is great and the atmosphere is suspenseful the moment you arrive on the ship. The graphics are great and the over-the-shoulder camera angle is a fresh idea for a shooter (mass effect did it I know, but that was more of a cover shooter and this is more of an fps). The hud and your suit makes the game feel futuristic, the aliens aren't a push over and they jump out at you when you least suspect it.

Evolution Creates Program for 'Dumb Ways To Die'
Los Angeles, CA -- Licensing company and global brand management firmEvolution has been appointed as the global licensing agent for Metro Trains Melbourne's (Metro) intellectual property Dumb Ways to Die, which originated as a massively popular public service campaign for Melbourne, Australia's public train service. The announcement was made today by Travis J. Rutherford, President of Licensing and Retail Development for Evolution and Metro General Manager Corporate Relations Leah Waymark.
Originally developed as part of a public service announcement campaign to encourage rail safety by Metro in Melbourne, Australia, the animated Dumb Ways to Die campaign went viral through YouTube and sharing across social media platforms, including Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram and SoundCloud. The campaign's unique characters, catchy song and culturally relevant safety education messages quickly became a viral sensation, amassing over 45 million views worldwide in five months.
Evolution will unveil its licensing program for Dumb Ways to Die at this year's Licensing Expo, which focuses on four target demographic groups -- Men and Women 20-30; Teens 13-19; Tweens 9-12 and Boys & Girls 6-8 years of age. Among the core licensed product categories Evolution plans to develop for Dumb Ways to Die are: Apparel, Accessories, Headwear; Home, Housewares, Room Décor; Tech Accessories; Stationery; Paper and Party Goods & Social Expression; Gift and Novelties; Plush, Toys (Figures, PVC's, Playsets); Publishing and Health & Beauty. Supported by additional online short form content, apps and promotions, Dumb Ways to Die will initially be distributed to specialty, department store and mid-tier retailers beginning in early 2014.
"Dumb Ways to Die uses humor and endearing animated characters to deliver serious messages about safety which have resonated with millions around the globe," said Evolution's Rutherford. "We believe the property's characters and its sweet and delightfully macabre message can be extended to a wide variety of appropriate product lines, capitalizing on the growing global popularity of Dumb Ways to Die."
"In addition to spreading awareness of being safe around our trains in Melbourne, Dumb Ways to Die quickly captured the attention of millions of people of all ages and from all over the world," said Metro's Waymark. "We're excited about the opportunities to expand this clever property beyond our public service campaign and look forward to working with Evolution on realizing that goal."

text: Last Call Road Ragin' By Matt Purple – From the October 2013 issue I HAVE A disease. That may sound strange given that I'm a seemingly healthy 26 year old with a rigorous five-hours-a-day hot yoga routine. But in today's victimization culture, I'm convinced not only that I can be classified as sick, but also that my sickness should entitle me to, at the bare minimum, free health care for the rest of my life, promptly accessible by a call on my Obamaphone. My condition is called intermittent explosive disorder, or in more common parlance, road rage. I'm a generally calm and measured person who develops homicidal tendencies behind the wheel of a car. If you're a fellow RR-sufferer, you know the noisome cocktail of symptoms: the rush of blood to the head, the parched grip on the steering wheel, the urge to shout "Learn how to drive!" every time a fellow denizen of the highway commits a microscopic infraction. I haven't done any research, but I imagine that if I consulted the Department of Health and Human Services, they would tell me that something like 410 million Americans are afflicted by road rage every year, an unknown number of whom are illegal immigrants.Thank you for your interest in this article.
