It's pretty darn cold out there, but at least the sun is shining and the snow gives Park City and Main Street a nice winter shimmer for the annual Sundance Film Festival, which kicks off today.
Yes, the stars are in town, turning our mountain town into a a mini Hollywood at 7,000 feet. But, of course, Sundance isn't really about the stars and the parties. It's about the art, the films and the power of storytelling. And because we love all of that, the editors of Salt Lake magazine will be trolling the streets of Park City to bring you all the inside scoop from the fest. We'll have film reviews, reports from some of the hottest parties, Main Street fashion, behind-the-scenes looks at what it takes to make Sundance happen, and of course, the star report. (In other words, we'll keep our eyes and ears open to the celebrity thing, too.)

Here's our quick Sundance primer:
The Sundance Kid himself, Robert Redford, kicks of his regular opening day press conference Thursday (today) at 1 p.m. It's not open to the general public, but we'll have a reporter on hand to cover all the highlights. But, if you want to see the whole thing in all its glory, Sundance will host live streaming video. Live videos throughout the festival will be shown here, so check back daily for conversations with Redford, Dave Grohl, Robert Rodriguez, Juno Temple and Austenland director and local boy Jerusha Hess, among others.
Screenings kick off on Friday, Jan. 18 in Park City, Salt Lake, Ogden and Provo, so check out the Sundance Film Festival website for all the details on what's showing when and where. Tickets will be extremely hard to come by for premieres and initial screenings in Park City, particularly during the opening weekend, so check in with the box office at Trolley Square for details on films showing in SLC. (We'll hit several screenings early on, so check back often for our take on select films.)

If you haven't already plotted out a plan for making the most of Sundance, the festival website provides a ton of info on where to see films, how to buy tickets, parking and shuttle info, plus details on all the films, panels and all the other official details.
Once you're in Park City, Sundance has hundreds of volunteers (just look for the bright red Kenneth Cole puffer jackets and the "Ask Me" buttoms) out and about to help you navigate the festival. These fest insiders can answer questions about buying tickets, direct you to a restroom or a place to grab a hot cup of coffee and when the next shuttle is set to arrive.
The Sundance House (the Kimball Art Center, 638 Park Ave.) is open to teh public and offers a spot to kick back and relax. Grab a bite to each, check your email or meet up with friends here between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., Jan. 18-25.
The extra bonus: There's an app. A free Sundance Film Festival application, offered on iPhone, iPad and Andriod features the complete film schedule, push notifications with your best bet for getting last-minute tickets, schedule changes, venue and transportation maps and then some.
While many of the A-listers will be tucked away into screening rooms and private parties, there's still going to be a lot of hubbub and excitement on Main Street. Many of the events happening the first weekend are sadly closed to the public (really one of the ONLY times that Utah has a list, as in "you're not on the list"), but if you want to get into the mix--and aren't as concerned about seeing films--wander past the historic former Claim Jumper Hotel, which transforms into a three-story party house during the fest. Film premiere parties, press junkets, music performances and speaker series will all go down there.
Other good hangouts include outside the ASCAP Music Cafe on 751 Main St. (at the Rich Haines Gallery), where the likes of the Blue Sky Riders, Kat Edmonson, The Head and the Heart, Sea Wolf and Drake White will be rocking out daily.

Park Avenue Item # A4017
Large Classic Bowl-Shade Chandelier
Customize This Product
Our largest Neoclassical light, the Park Avenue incorporates a brass shade ring with a simple four-arm structure and a thick cast-glass shade from our own original antique shade mold. Substantial and bright, it's best for large homes and public buildings. Visitors to our Portland store can attest that it's beautiful hung in multiples in a long room with high ceilings.

This focus makes them adaptable to many spaces and contexts.
- Solid brass parts

Sheriff's deputies arrest Florida fugitive at Denton home
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 10:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 10:46 a.m.
The Davidson County Sheriff's Office has arrested a fugitive who was wanted in Lee County, Fla.
Justin Michael Suominen, 29, of 125 W. Noell Ave., Denton, was served with a fugitive warrant Tuesday for a lewd or lascivious battery charge. He was given a $250,000 secured bond and was scheduled to appear in court Wednesday.
Detectives with the DCSO's Criminal Investigation Division received a call Tuesday from the Lee County Sheriff's Office in regard to the possible location of a fugitive from justice wanted by their agency, according to a news release.
Davidson County sheriff's deputies learned Suominen was possibly staying at a location on West Noell Avenue, the news release said. Detectives located Suominen at that address and placed him under arrest. He was then taken before the magistrate in Lexington before being placed in the Davidson County Detention Center awaiting extradition back to Florida.
The Denton Police Department assisted the DCSO.

text: Everyone here tonight understands how important radio was to the birth and evolution of rock and roll. If a few broadcasters hadn't taken a chance on this crazy sound in the early '50s, a lot of great music might have never been heard. Tonight we are proud to honor the contribution of the first of these radio pioneers. I went to see Alan Freed in Cleveland in the early '50s. He was doing things I'd never seen before - rattling rattlers, singing with the record, screaming, jumping around. I said, 'My God, what's going to happen when this man hits New York?' The hot show in New York in those days - the two hot shows - were Willie and Ray - Willie Bryant and Ray Carroll, and the Symphony Sit [?] show. When they heard that Alan Freed was coming, the panic was on. He took New York by storm and took the country by storm; his all-star rock shows at the Brooklyn Paramount are now legend. I was very fortunate to be in his small circle of friends, and we had some fantastic times together. To induct Alan Freed into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it is my pleasure to introduce two leading radio personalities of today, Scott Muni and Norman N. Nite."

yeah i saw that on ESPN during the draft chat. I dont mind Felton but not for Lee
charlotte got Ajinca who prob wont even play due the he fact that he might want to go back to were ever he came from. but he's a PF and they dont need another PF and Charlotte wants to put Okefor at PF and having D LEE is either him on the bench or Okafor playing C. And felton would be good but i dont see this trade going down. if it does possibly go down we would need a PF in return or some big man...we are too low on big man and rebounders D LEE is a need right now.
If This Happens Im Goin To MSG Personally To Slap Someone In The Face, Be It Donnie Walsh Himself Or A ****ing Security Guard
yo this cant happen i just got a david lee jersey in like april.
i would do this if we got a pick as well from the bobcats. felton is the third best young pg behind paul and williams. just look at the numbers. he is just what we need
Lee for Felton and Augistine is more my style
I'd probably do it straight up, but i wouldn't mind them adding Sean May to the trade. We will need somebody to help rebound since Lee will be gone.

In international and German domestic travel, the liability for damage, destruction, loss or partial loss and for late delivery of baggage is limited to a cumulative 1,131 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) per journey and traveller. The SDR is the accounting unit of the International Monetary Fund (IMF); 1,131 SDR currently corresponds to about €1,213 (please regard that this amount is subject to currency fluctuation and may vary).
In general, you are responsible for your carry-on baggage and personal belongings. The liability of airlines is regulated by law. We definitely recommend that you take out a baggage insurance.
Notification deadlines
If your baggage is lost or damaged, you should report this immediately after your arrival to the Lufthansa baggage tracing desk or the local Lufthansa representative at the airport.
You can report the damage or loss in writing subsequently within the legally prescribed deadline, however evidence is then required and you must prove that the damage or loss occurred during the carriage by air.
Please observe the following deadlines:
|Damage and partial loss
|Within seven days after baggage hand-out
|Replacement purchases in the case of delayed baggage delivery
|Within 21 days of baggage hand-out
|Total loss
|Within two years
The postmark or automatic date of receipt in the case of a fax or e-mail notification is decisive for the observance of the deadlines.

This is a picture of the table you land on face-down when your mammogram and subsequent ultrasound show a spot or a lump of concern. Bummer. This aging game ain't for sissies. (Why do you think I started my site, stillababe.com?)
I was not thrilled to be driving to the hospital this morning to meet the breast surgeon for a stereotactic breast biopsy. I had lots of girlfriend driver offers, but didn't want to bother anybody when I heard I could drive myself. On the way at 7am, I put the convertible top down for the hell of it. Hey, life is short.
I knew there was a slight chance that the mammogram machine there would show that everybody was wrong, that there was no spot after all, and let me off the hook. NOPE. I stared at the white spot on the X-Ray. Bastard!
I landed on this table here with one boob through the hole so the breast surgeon could slide under it like a mechanic under the hood of a car. She's done this a billion times.
She numbed the boob and then went in with a needle to extract 12 capellini strands of tissue. No I did not look.
The surgeon laughed when she warned me that the sound of inserting the titanium clip at the area of concern would be similar to that of a small fart in spanx.
Like I've ever heard that.
The titanium clip in the boob stays in forever if results come back normal, and acts as a locator if they don't. I was assured I'm clear for airports and MRI's. I'm thinking some airport scanner is gonna have a field day with my boob down the road.
The whole thing was finished in world-record time and the sweet nurse strapped some ice to me and told me not to jump around for 48 hours. I hate canceling jumping. I also got a sticker for a parking-lot discount.
I put the top back down on my convertible, and flashed the parking lot attendant my iced breast to prove my discount on the way out. His expression was priceless. Results tomorrow.
For all you babes putting off your annual 'girlie' tests, better to just make the appointments and go deal with "whatever" head on. Better always to know early if something's a little off before it gets a lot off.
Hormonally Yours,
Debbie Nigro
founder, stillababe.com
UPDATE: OK, I got the good-news call from the breast surgeon--no cancer! Whew. Onward! But I can't promise I won't flash any more garage guys in hope of a parking discount. Hey, it worked once . . .

Student Computing
What is Student Computing
Every semester all CSJHS students pay a student technology fee. The technology fee
covers a variety of technology and computing services designated for CSJHS students
and the enhancement of classroom learning. All departments within the CSJHS benefit
from the technology fees.
There is a student equipment checkout station located in the HH building in Room 2400A. We currently have PC laptops available for checkout.
Additional computer services and assistance are provided in the Student Computing office located in HH2400A. Some of these services include: Poster printing, scanning, digital conversion, PC virus scanning, and UTAD account maintenance.
Student Computing also provides the mediation of departmental classrooms so that students have access to the same level of technological instruction as students in general classrooms. The technology fee purchases annually a number of computers and various instructional and specialized software packages that are used in departments for individual major classes.
For a full list of services please checkout the Tech Fee Services page.
A college-wide print quota system was put in place Summer 2010 for CSJHS. This was in compliance to a University-wide initiative implemented by all colleges throughout campus.
CSJHS enrolled students are provided a $45 print value which is covered by the Technology fee assessed students. The number of pages allowed per student depends on what resources the student uses. Description of the charges subtracted from the $45 print value is as noted: One-sided, B&W is $.03/page; Two-sided, B&W is $.05/page; One-sided, color is $.10/page; and Two-sided, color is $.19/page. All students print quota is reestablished at the beginning of each semester. You can obtain your print quota balance by logging into computers in CSJHS labs.
Located in the main corridors, large digital screens have been hung to allow all departments within the College to display information for our students. Students will be able to watch CNN with closed captioning and UT open forums put on by President Jacobs. The monitors will be used to notify students of events, meetings, student services, and even college related scholarships.
Most importantly, Red Alert Notifications will be channeled through these displays. College Computing initiated this effort and worked with Wide Area Media and internal IT staff to reprogram The University Alert system to be operational through the digital signage.
The wireless network on campus includes support of high speed wireless (802.11N). Faculty/staff/students have access to the public/private/privateN options when using wireless laptops. Our "Public" wireless network allows any visitor on campus to grab an internet connection without authenticating to UT's domain (UTAD). The "Private" wireless network is for faculty and students and requires a UTAD username and password.MEDIATED CLASSROOMS
College Computing in collaboration with Academic Support created standards for the College's mediated classrooms. In 2012 the Tech Fee Committee approved the upgrade of several mediated classrooms in HH. The classrooms are now outfitted with Smartboards, document cameras, Crestron control units and other equipment to support the growing need for audio/visual learning in the classroom.

Men are still leading the way when it comes to finding jobs in this slow economy, but women are finally starting to catch up.
The Wall Street Journal reports that even though fewer women than men were laid off during the recession, it's been harder for the women to find new jobs, according to a new study from the Institute for Women's Policy Research.
"We're looking at these numbers and we're like, 'What the heck is going on?' " Heidi Hartmann, IWPR president, tells the newspaper. "Men are having a more favorable experience in terms of hiring in the recovery. In the third year of the recovery, women are beginning to catch up… But no one really knows why."
The Journal reports the three sectors with the most female hires during the recovery's three years are education and health services, professional and business services, and leisure and hospitality.

I'm sorry to hear it's not yet safe to send our adult children to Alaska. Since the pundits in California are predicting its imminent demise, I was hoping to move the whole family north.

Did you know you could withhold some pet necessities as a tax deduction? And, if you achieve some side cash off your blog, there could be tax breaks there too. I never knew about these obscure tax deductions until I found this website. You should check it out, I am convinced this little website could have been a tax write-off. http://www.tax-defense-network-news.com/unlikely-deductions/

A Day at the FAMSF Photo Studio
Submitted by Lesley Bone on
Amazing art comes through the photo studio on a regular basis.
We tend to save Mondays (when we're closed to the public) to photograph artworks that are normally installed in the galleries. This way we can take the objects out of the galleries and into the photo studio without impacting the public.
Recently we shot two recent acquisitions from the AOA department. The images will appear in the next edition of the museums' Fine Arts magazine.

With Windows Media Center and the right hardware, it's possible to watch and record premium digital cable channels from your cable provider. However, setting up a computer to do this can be an advanced task. Here are answers to some common questions about setting up your computer to receive digital cable.
A digital cable tuner is a type of TV tuner that can receive encrypted and unencrypted digital cable channels. A number of PC manufacturers sell specially configured Digital Cable Ready PCs that include at least one digital cable tuner. You can also purchase digital cable tuners separately.
A CableCARD is a security device that, when inserted in the slot of a digital cable tuner, provides secure access to encrypted digital cable programming that comes with your digital cable subscription. You'll need a CableCARD to access premium channels from your digital cable provider.
CableCARDs are owned by cable providers and leased to subscribers. To get one, you'll need to schedule a service appointment with your cable provider. If your cable provider offers this service, a technician will deliver and authorize your CableCARD and ensure that the cable signal is strong enough to be received by your digital cable tuner.
The Digital Cable Advisor is a tool in Media Center that you can use to analyze your computer hardware to determine whether it meets the minimum requirements for watching and recording digital cable. This includes your computer's performance and display capabilities, as well as the available connection types.
If your computer meets the minimum requirements, you can then update your system settings to enable digital cable support on your computer.
Do one of the following:
If you've never used the Digital Cable Advisor before, scroll to Extras, click Extras gallery, click the Digital Cable Advisor tile, and then follow the instructions to install it.
If the Digital Cable Advisor is already installed on your computer, scroll to Extras, click Extras library, and then click the Digital Cable Advisor tile.
Follow the instructions to run the Digital Cable Advisor.
If your system passes the test, click Update System Settings to enable digital cable support on your computer.
If any of your system components don't meet the minimum requirements, you'll need to address the issue before you can watch and record digital cable. For example, if your video card isn't powerful enough to support digital cable, you'll need to install a new one, then rerun the Digital Cable Advisor.
Most people with a digital cable tuner have purchased a Digital Cable Ready PC, and most cable providers that offer CableCARDS have technicians to install and authorize the cards for you. It's possible to purchase and install a digital cable tuner yourself, and some cable providers even let you to install a CableCARD into the digital cable tuner on your own and then call customer service to have it authorized. However, this is an advanced task. If you're unfamiliar with troubleshooting hardware and software problems, it's probably best to rely on your local cable company technician to install and authorize the CableCARD for you.
The process of setting up a digital cable tuner and a CableCARD depends on your location, cable provider, and what type of tuner you have. Media Center community sites, such as The Green Button, are great resources for information about buying and setting up a digital cable tuner for use with a CableCARD.
If you're planning to purchase a digital TV tuner but you don't want to deal with a CableCARD, another option is to get a digital TV tuner that's configured for ATSC and ClearQAM signal types. There are a number of these on the market today that can receive unencrypted digital TV signals in standard definition and high-definition, either through an antenna (ATSC) or a cable TV jack (ClearQAM), without the need for a CableCARD. The downside to this type of setup is that your channel selection might be limited depending on your cable provider or, if you're using an over-the-air antenna, your signal strength. For more information, see What should I know before adding TV tuners to use with Windows Media Center?
The purpose of a CableCARD is to allow access to channels that are encrypted. As long as you have a digital cable subscription, you should be able to set up your digital cable tuner to watch unencrypted digital channels (using a ClearQAM signal). However, you probably won't be able to watch many of the channels you subscribe to (including premium digital channels) because they're encrypted. To learn how to set up a ClearQAM signal, see Set up a TV signal in Windows Media Center.
If you have a PC with a digital cable tuner installed, follow these steps with your cable technician to install and activate the CableCARD:
Ask the cable technician to check on the quality of the cable signal. The signal level of the QAM signals should be between ± 8 dBmV (the cable technician should know what this means.)
Follow the instructions in the "To set up a digital cable TV signal with a digital cable tuner (United States only)" section in Set up a TV signal in Windows Media Center. Be sure to write down the UnitAddress and the CableCARD S/N (serial number) from the outside of your CableCARD. (These numbers will not be visible after the card is inserted into the tuner.)
While Media Center is running, insert the CableCARD into the Digital Cable Tuner. One of the LED lights on the tuner should flash red and green for 20 seconds or so, and turn green. If it turns red, it indicates a problem with the Out-of-Band signal (the cable technician should know what this means.)
A "CableCARD Detected" message should appear in Media Center. Follow the instructions to start the CableCARD setup.
When you reach the "Call your cable company" page, you or the cable technician will need to call your cable provider and give them the information from this page (called pairing data) to authorize the CableCARD.
Once the cable provider has received the data and authorizes the CableCARD, it can take up to 20 minutes for it to be fully activated. Test a variety of channels to confirm that the CableCARD has been activated properly.
Here are some things you can try, depending on what problem you're having.
If your computer is joined to a network that uses Internet Protocol Security (IPsec), you'll need to disconnect from the network for your digital cable tuner and CableCARD to work.
If you can't watch live TV or you can only watch a small subset of the channels, try the following:
Call your cable provider and ask them to check the quality of the cable signal and to confirm that they've recorded the CableCARD pairing data (from the "Call your cable company" page) correctly.
Check Windows Update to make sure that your digital cable tuner has the latest firmware installed. To learn how, see Install Windows updates in Windows 7. (Digital cable tuner firmware will appear as an optional update.)
Call your cable provider and ask to try a different CableCARD.
If you're seeing a "Restricted content" error while watching TV, try the following:
If your computer is connected to your TV or monitor using DVI or HDMI, confirm that your display is compatible with High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).
Check with your computer manufacturer or your video card manufacturer to ensure that you're running the recommended driver for your computer's video card.
If you recently added a new video card to your computer, and it uses DVI or HDMI to connect to your TV or monitor, make sure that the card supports High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA).
Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet and that your service hasn't been interrupted.
If you're seeing a "Tuner not found" error while watching TV, try the following:
Restart your computer.
Remove and reapply power to your digital cable tuner, and then try to set up the TV signal again. If you receive the error again, you might need to update the firmware for the digital cable tuner. Refer to the documentation that came with the device or contact your computer manufacturer for assistance.
If you're still seeing this error, it might be because a firewall program is blocking the tuner. In your firewall program's settings, try opening the following exceptions:
Local subnet
Inbound, Outbound

I love rap, but all rap is either too explicit and violent or I just cannot relate. Although Lupe may rap about certain explicit things, I feel that I can relate to most of his music!
Why is Lupe your favorite rapper?
I love rap, but all rap is either too explicit and violent or I just cannot relate. Although Lupe may rap about certain explicit things, I feel that I can relate to most of his music!
Forum category:
honestly lupe should have his own genre of music cuz when i usually hear rap its jus for entertainment wen lupe raps its truly deep an alot of the time inspiring like wen i first heard food n liqueur kick push got me ta skate and iv been doin that for almost 6 years now and THE COOL i can still listen to that whole album over an over an even now i i find new meanings in his songs LUPE IS TRUELY THE GREATEST!!
Lupe's rap are cool. It is not just saying some stuff with it. When Lupe's rap I can feel the emotion. I can understand what he meant. I can relate to him. When you listen to Lupe's rap just feel the beat of the music in order for you to understand what I meant.
He speaks the truth about everything, and he does not compromise himself for the sake of being accpeted! Lupe is a man after my own heart
Muhammad Walks makes me feel like as a muslim i'm not alone.Especially this hate which grows after 9/11 made the whole world misunderstand Islam.So This song explains the summary of those bad impressions on muslims.Someone had to explain that and Lupe Fiasco did this successfully which makes me proud.He is so wise and real and not into that popular cursed lives that's why he is special to me
its the way you can find meaning in everything hes says .....then find new meaning in the same sentence so it keeps entertaining you unlike other rappers who say sumfin ind dts jus it.....after a while it gets boring. And he songs all have a message ....a reason for being thier so its more like a convo. great stuff
he is super creative. " Im made from the best stuff on earth like snapple tea leaves." say something
it was a process the way lupe became my favorite rapper. in the beginning i was pretty much like "i dont want to hear this preaching ass bullshit", although i loved kick push because of the vibe never listened to his words tho. my friend let me listen to "lupe tha killa" and i thought to myself "this shit is wack". im from the hood,philly, and im the only one of my friends that goes to a university so i have always a lil different because i loved skool and to learn but i also loved to play ball and stufff like that. but i could never find any one rapper that spoke to me specifically(i cudnt relate). the closes thing i had was nas so he was my favorite. and then one day my friends from skool were playin lupe while we were playing video games and i wasnt listening but a few lyrics crept into my head, ironically the lyrics were "all u haters put ur hands on ur ears its ok cuz later it will creep up on u like itz metal gear put u ina choke hold then unconsciously you'll hear"...it was the coolest nerdiest thing i ever heard a rapper say and then i did my research and got addicted to his music and i said that if i cud rap this is how i would do it...then i said finally a rapper who is speakin to me!!!
I was actually a huge Lil Wayne head, and at that time the only Lupe song I heard was kick push. I thought Lupe was just a wack black tony hawk who was tryna rap. But then my cousin BEGGED me to listen to his Cool CD, and since I was so used to the simple redundant punchlines wayne was doing, I was confused as fuck. My cousin broke all his shit down for me and by the 4th time i listened to the cool, I was hooked.
Lol, the Seatbelts are awesome ass hell, but imma keep that off the lupe site tho. Maybe if I go hunting for some Jazz boards or something, but I do need to find some more of their shit
No, that was a non sequitur mostly on my part. The Seatbelts are amazing though. I don't have over 4-8 of their OSTs anymore though.
Lmao, I'm not sure whether or not that was a misinterpretation of my statement, or just a statement. And I said similar to, I've a few people asking about that R&B (the singing pop shit) song by Dave Koz (clearly smooth jazz) and I have also heard some old swing jazz like "Rush" by the Seatbelts referred to as old school R&B. More often than not, people don't always know the genre or true genre of music, they just like it. Hell, I may be wrong about the distinction between hip hop and rap, though I will always stick to that belief. Regardless, humans are fallible and they make mistakes, no?
There isn't a single damn human being that thinks Rhythm and blues is the same as Jazz. And I mean the real rhythm and blues, not this 1980s-present "black person singing love song pop shit".
Personally, I don't really see Lupe as a rapper. I believe there is a distinction between rap and hip hop, though a lot of people group em together, it's like saying R&B and Jazz are the same. They're similar yes, but if you pay attention, you can see the distinction. To me, the distinction between rap and hip hop is in the lyrics. What does rap really convey? Fucking girls, getting drunk, clothes, money, and trapping, etc? All that shit is fine at the end of the day, but if I really wanted to listen to somebody do their best to tell me how much money they make and how many girls they fuck, I'll go talk to my brother. If I really want to listen to who shooting and fucking somebody up or who trapping, I'll go back to high school. Like I said, that shit is fine some of the time, but that's all you hear on the radio now. Personally, I don't even listen to the radio anymore for that purpose. Hip hop USUALLY has a message. Sometimes, the artist is just fucking around like MF Doom's "Vats of Urine" or something like that, but shit honestly, I find that to be a lil skillful. This guy took a whole song a made it about piss without adding a joke every 2 bars, it was interesting to say the least but I digress. Artists and groups like Substantial, Cyne, ACTQ, and many others, yea they do some mainstream shit sometimes, but most of their tracks has some form of story in it. Do you go to the movies to watch everything die, or are u genuinely interested in the plot? "The Happening" was a horrible film, would yo equate that to "Final Destination" or anoth film of that nature. To take something and actually have it entertain the minds of the audience, that's true art and to me (TO ME), that's hip hop and that's Lupe. Wayne is straight, but for people to call him the rebirth of hip hop, I disagree. I'd call him the prodigy of rap, but the rebirthof true hip hop to me is Lu.
He's certainly not my favorite rapper, or at the table, or the kiddie table. However, I do see him as someone with potential if he actually cared about rapping and he's moderately outside the norm which is cool I guess.
I like Lupe Fiasco b/c he renders as a realist. He too seems enthralling, to me. My first song heard from Lupe Fiasco was w/ Jill Scott, b/c I am a fan of her music as well, jazz and R&B, and so their collaboration was a big interest to me hearing more so the instrumental portion and then hearing his flow, I saw it mind-blowing. Since then I have followed Lupes music and trying to catch up to those that have followed longer before Daydream and so on. Im convinced that I am a big fan and I still havent met him or been to one of his concerts but I hope one day to meet him and thats my story, THE END!
Honestly, one of my niggas first showed me his music which was SUNSHINE and i was hooked to that song alone that was when he was starting to come out..so then i did my research to finding a track called Muhammed Walks which frickin got me amazed cause im also a muslim...after that i did some more research and found ALLL of his music hes ever made i think...all of his tracks, everything hes featured on, all his interviews etc...but besides him being a muslim...his lyricism is more diverese to other people...i think hes uncomparable to any person out there like this nigga know whats the deal.. he knows what hes doing...so i was like yo this is a real negro jeez....he was and still is different then everybody out there..like if you put him beside any other rapper you'll see the difference just by looking at them....he showed me positive is wayy cooler than the negative and is way more realer to any other way out there..
Sick metaphors. Only guy who is so good and has a positive influence to the game. You can listen to a track everday, it never gets old. Everytime you listen you find another meaning.
His music is just aweasome and not like any other rappers and his personality as well...he's a real cool dude
Oh yeah, plus hes true to his stuff and don't give a F**K what other people think. He took the "If you don't like it GTFO" approach. Lupe is a genuis, and he's humble and he's having fun with his music.
CAUSE HE'S TE REALIST MO FO OUT THERE =D And hes interested in alot of the stuff i like (anime, linkin park, Gorillaz,) And the things that he seems to find impoortant i do as well... the beats he uses are off the chain, and the man is a talented lyricist, the wordplay is sickning... Lupe is just the man, period
Lupe Fiasco is an artist. He makes art. You could teach a class on Lupe's shit because it is that deep with the lyrics and figurative language. He paints a picture with every line he raps and he takes you into his mind and how he sees things. Hes an observer of the world and observer of people and how people are. Twilight Zone is a perfect example of how Lupe sees things. He has reached levels of thinking that most people cant fathom. He can go in any direction he wants when it comes to rapping. He can do gangster (Mass Appeal freestyle), educational/ informing (American Terrorist), storytelling (Handcuffs), or he can just do Lu...Lu's style is the kind where he tries to explain how much better he is than everyone else in a way that most mainstreamers wouldnt get. And the thing i love the most about Lupe is that he doesnt care that hes not number one on all those bullshit shows and charts. He knows hes an artist and he likes doing what he does. He just loves music and wants to get messages across to people who will listen
He's talented, plain and simple. Same reason i even enjoy listening to Fabolous sometimes, dude says some clever shit. Otherwise, i've always been a Nas, B.I.G and Pun fan, then i liked Eminem, Jay-Z sometimes and when they went through their hiatus, the game got messed, then Lupe showed up

After my last trip to Haiti, I didn't want to come home. I had gone to collect stories—from earthquake and cholera survivors, from childhood friends—and after a week of potholed roads, windswept, eroded mountains and fresh-caught fish drizzled with lime, I felt alive and inspired. Once again, Haiti had mesmerized me with its all-contradictions-at-once insistence on life. I had interviewed peasant farmers and been out to sea with fishermen on cell phones; I had bargained in Kreyòl, cupped a fledgling parrot in my hands, laughed with friends and cried at the stories of strangers. The last morning, I woke at 5 am to a cacophony of roosters and cicadas and realized I wasn't ready to leave. When I confessed this to my sister, whom I had talked into coming with me, she laughed and said, "You've come a long way, baby."
At 13, when my parents informed me that they wanted to return to Haiti as missionaries, I was furious. It had been five years since we'd last lived there, and I was ensconced in an elite Southern California prep school that had given me a scholarship. I was loath to relinquish horseback-riding lessons, rock-climbing courses and trips to Catalina Island. In Haiti, I would be consigned to a three-room school with two dozen other missionary kids. Instead of dances, we would have Bible dress-up days. Halloween, a pagan holiday, would go uncelebrated. To make matters worse, when I lived in Haiti, I always stood out: My red hair and pale, freckled skin marked me as a foreigner, and I hated the taunts of "Blan! Blan!" when my sisters and I left the compound. Poised on the edge of adolescence, I was deeply self-conscious. I wanted to blend invisibly into the crowd; in Haiti, this was impossible.
My father, on the other hand, seemed to thrive in that same spotlight. He was shy and awkward in the U.S.—he'd worked as an organic vegetable farmer and forest ranger before becoming a missionary—but in Haiti, he was in his element. Neighbors grinned and encouraged his fumbling Kreyòl. People laughed at his corny jokes. He was still awkward, but in Haiti no one seemed to mind. The improvisational nature of -agricultural-development work, where everything was dependent on weather and politics, suited him fine. As a farmer, he understood that life was unpredictable.
Most important, Dad felt as if he could make a difference in Haiti. In the early 1980s, he had managed a tree nursery in Limbé that supplied 500,000 seedling trees a year to Pan-American Development Foundation projects in the north of Haiti. Planting trees was urgent work: Without roots to hold the soil in place and a canopy of leaves to slow the torrential tropical rainstorms, fertile topsoil washed away with each new storm, leaving the gardens sparser and the peasant farmers hungrier. In Haiti, Dad felt useful.
As a teenager, I couldn't have cared less. Whenever Dad talked about reforestation, I rolled my eyes. I didn't understand why he had to be the one to save Haiti. I thought he suffered from an overactive ego and told him as much. My mother and sisters tried to play peacemaker, but Dad and I had little patience for each other.
Eventually, we took a family vote on whether or not to return. Dad reminded us of the things we'd loved about Haiti as kids: the beach trips, the green-throated lizard on the dining room wall, our friends in the missionary compound. I folded my arms and glared at him, unconvinced. My sisters wavered. Mom reminded Dad that the country had undergone a series of military coups and riots after the demise of the Duvalier dictatorship; in 1990, Haiti wasn't the safest place to take three young girls. The final vote was four to one against the move, yet somehow Dad overruled us. Mom sighed and grumbled that she had married Atlas—he carried the whole world on his shoulders. "There goes my life," I scrawled bitterly in my journal.
The next few months were predictably volatile. To raise funds, Dad and Mom gave slideshows about deforestation at local churches, then called us girls up front to sing in Kreyòl. I sulked and pouted. At home, Dad and I fought like hell. Once, he threw a Bible through the window because I refused to participate in family devotions. When Mom came home that night, she accused me of provoking my father and called me "the devil's handmaiden"—words that I tearfully recorded in my diary.
A few days after my 14th birthday, I flew alone to Haiti. The rest of the family had arrived there two weeks earlier, while I was on a school trip to Baja. As the plane circled the sugarcane fields outside Cap-Haïtien, it all felt strangely familiar: the tiny, mud-walled houses; the white-sand beaches; the desolate hillsides empty of trees.
At the airport, my sisters threw their arms around me, their thin cotton dresses blowing in the wind. I noted, skeptically, that Mom and Dad seemed glad to see me. Dad had a Haitian straw hat shoved over his ears and a faded backpack slung over one shoulder. He looked sunburned and relaxed. My long hoop earrings brushed against my shoulders as I straightened my skirt. Within minutes, I realized with disappointment that my carefully teased bangs were starting to wilt in the tropical humidity. But I was confident that anyone who observed my boldly squared shoulders, teal eyeliner and world-weary half-smile would realize that I did not belong in this backward, unfashionable missionary family.
The airport was low and squalid. Incompetent ceiling fans, caked in a layer of greasy dust, rotated uselessly while customs officials rummaged through my luggage. The breeze from the sea smelled of rotting fish and garbage, -confirmation that Dad had, in fact, brought us back to Haiti to ruin our lives.
As we drove toward the Limbé Valley through the soot and noise of Cap-Haïtien, bare-chested men strained against wooden carts piled high with discarded tires and sugarcane. Children shouted, "Blan! Blan!"
I sank deeper into my seat.
In the mornings—hot, humid, smelling of hibiscus and smoldering charcoal—my sisters and I dressed for school while Dad tromped off into the hills with a backpack full of seeds, a jug of water and a Kreyòl Bible to preach the gospel of trees. When strangers asked him what he carried in his macoute, he answered, "I'm carrying hope."
This time he had struck out on his own, leaving the tree nursery in the hands of another horticulturist. He was determined to work directly with the peasant farmers to solve the problem of deforestation. His goal was to persuade them to sow tree seeds in their gardens so that the roots would hold the soil in place. He introduced drought- and animal--resistant trees that coppiced readily; even when harvested for charcoal, the trunks would send up offshoots. It was a new paradigm: trees as a renewable resource. And at least initially, the peasant farmers seemed excited. The tiny seedlings began to unfurl tentative, green-fringed leaves. Hope was in the air.
My sentiments were less optimistic. "I never thought I'd live to see the day I'd hate weekends," I wrote in my journal, "but from here on out, they can kiss my ass. At least during the week I can keep busy with school and see other Americans, even if they despise me, but weekends are miserable in this deserted hellhole. Everyone is at a soccer match now. Talk about a dead sport."
Determined to punish my parents for dragging me to Haiti, I fought over the dress code (they had forbidden us to wear pants or short skirts in public), and at least once a week Dad and I had a standoff at the front door.
"You're not leaving the house wearing that," Dad insisted, the tendons in his neck straining, his shoulders hunched into a wrestler's stance, as if to hurl me to the floor if I tried to slip past him.
"Fine, then I'm not leaving," I retorted, my hands on my hips. When I felt the sting of salt in my eyes, I angrily flicked away the tears—careful so as not to smudge my mascara.
Eventually I'd slam mybedroom door and change clothes (though a few times I simply put a longer skirt over the miniskirt and removed it later). In the afternoons, I hid behind novels: Anne of Green Gables, The Far Pavilions, The Clan of the Cave Bear.I wrote long, heartbroken journal entries while my homesick sister cried herself to sleep across the hall.
As hard as the adjustment was on the rest of us, it was obvious that Dad felt at home in Haiti. When he shuffled in at the end of the day from some remote village, I tried to tune out his stories of Haitian poverty and resilience. I despised his unpredictable temper, his faded, rumpled clothes and his dirt-stained fingernails. I avoided sitting next to him at dinner so that I wouldn't have to hold his hand during the prayer. But a few months later, even I could tell that his enthusiasm had begun to falter.
After months without rain, the tiny seedling trees that he had handed out so hopefully had withered in the eviscerated soil. Farmers in the north called it the worst drought in 17 years. Creeks slowed to a trickle, then evaporated. Dad spent weeks trying to pipe water into a cement cistern so he could save the gardens. But the cement was faulty, and in the middle of the night, the walls collapsed. The farmers woke, terrified, to a shuddering explosion of water across the parched soil. It seemed to me that nothing we did mattered: Even with Dad's help, the farmers were still poor and hungry; the trees still died.
Dad was able to hold it together until the funeral of Nosben, a promising young man whose death from sickle-cell anemia was more than he could bear. At the grave site, mourners filed past a pile of decaying bones that had been disinterred to make room for death's most recent victim. When Dad returned home, still agitated, to squabbling teenage girls, he lost it. He picked up a wooden statue of a Haitian peasant woman struggling under an impossibly heavy load and hurled it across the room. The statue shattered when it hit the wall, the basket splitting open along the wood grain, the woman's broken arm flying from her body.
My sisters hid behind Mom. I raised my eyebrows, my face cold. I just wanted to escape before Haiti destroyed the rest of us.
By the time we left, a year later, none of us knew how to talk about what we had just survived. We didn't talk about the time we were evacuated from the missionary compound for fear of riots or the time we watched a man burned alive inside a rubber tire. We didn't talk about the rural woman Dad had come close to having an affair with. For years Haiti was a subject we avoided.
It wasn't until I was in my late twenties that I asked Dad if I could read through our family letters from Haiti. He shrugged and pulled a stack of musty Chiquita-banana boxes from the barn. Sticky with tractor grease and coagulated fruit stains, the boxes had been hidden under outgrown baseball gloves and loose bales of hay. I waited until I was alone, then gingerly brushed aside the cobwebs to find translucent orange Roman Meal bread bags full of letters, bills, church bulletins and missionary newsletters. As I sorted through the torn and separated pages, I discovered that my father had given me a gift I hadn't anticipated—his journals.
I sat back on my heels and opened the day planner that Dad had filled with his jagged, left-handed scrawl.
"Beautiful sunset coming down the mountain," he noted just after we returned to Haiti for the last time.
A short while later he observed, "Girls forlorn tonight." I put my hand over my mouth and choked back a sob. I hadn't realized that he'd noticed.
As I read on, I was surprised by how deeply Dad had internalized the suffering of the Haitian farmers. As the drought worsened and his friends along the mountain paths grew weak from AIDS and tuberculosis, with no crops to sell to pay for their medical care, Dad gave out more and more loans—with no hope of repayment. One afternoon, when he learned that a six-month-old baby was about to die of AIDS, he hid in the thin shade of a guava bush and stared out over the denuded hills. Solitary mango trees stood over the clearings as smoldering charcoal fires drifted into lazy plumes. He could see all the way down the flood-scarred valley to the faint blue edge of the sea. He put his head in his hands and sobbed.
For the first time, I saw Haiti through Dad's eyes. I no longer saw the country as my competition—only regretted that I had tried so hard to thwart his attempts to help. A man of few words, terrified by strong emotions, he didn't know then how to vocalize his despair. I knew him only by his anger and his high expectations. I didn't understand, as my mother later explained to me, that when the topsoil in Haiti washes away, part of my father goes with it.
In 2003, I returned to Haiti with Dad, along with my mother and my husband. We hiked to the villages where Dad used to pass out tree seeds along with Bible verses translated into Kreyòl. Everyone along the path knew his name and came out to greet him with big grins and firm handshakes. A few farmers took us to see tree-covered ridges that had been reforested as a result of Dad's persistent prodding. Far more hillsides were still barren and despoiled, but it was a beginning. It wasn't the rapid, recognizable result that Dad had once hoped for, but it was incremental change—the kind that lasts.
My husband, who had never been to Haiti, had heard me confess how much I hated living there as a teenager, but he surprised me by noting how often I smiled in Haiti—far more often than when we were at home together in Oregon. Mom just laughed: "She's like her father. She feels at home here."
Over the past 10 years, I have returned to Haiti several times. Each time I leave, I feel a sense of loss. Lush, verdant Oregon seems empty and quiet by comparison. Even after the earthquake, which I covered for Public Radio International's This American Life, I came home with a renewed sense of admiration for the Haitian people—their resilience, courage and ability to laugh in the face of overwhelming odds.
On my most recent visit, I explored the country without Dad, for the first time in 30 years. My Kreyòl is nowhere near as fluent as his, but as I fumbled my way through boat trips and motorcycle rides, ate smoky kasavand savored the sweet-sour tang of abricotfruit, I realized how much I had inherited. It was Dad who had taught me to care about the earth and to value the stories of those who tended the soil. And while I would never have believed it as a teenager, I was finally converted to the gospel of trees.
In Gonaïves, an arid region just over the mountains from where I had grown up, I hiked for hours in the humid glare of the sun, past schoolchildren in matching uniforms, past old women with bundles of firewood balanced on their heads, to see a new soil--conservation site that Dad had insisted be planted with trees. The drought- and animal--resistant seedshad been sown by peasant farmers less than a year earlier, but already the glossy, dark-green leaves were as high as my waist. Those trees, like the Haitianpeople, had defied the odds. In a land of mountains beyond mountains, in a country both devastated and proud, maddening and beautiful, squalid and unimaginably heroic, the trees were survivors. The branches trembled delicately as a wind blew down the mountains and stirred the dry soil.

On October 9, 2013, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will unveil its latest exhibit: Collecting the Counterculture: Julio Mario Santo Domingo, Jr. in the Museum's Patty, Jay and Kizzie Baker Gallery. It's an exhibit that all started two years ago, in Geneva, Switzerland.
My job as the registrar at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has afforded me many opportunities to travel. One of those trips brought me to Geneva, where in November 2011 I assisted Rock Hall curators Craig Inciardi and Howard Kramer as they pored over the unique and vast collection of the late Julio Mario Santo Domingo, Jr.
When my colleagues and I arrived at the sprawling, discreet office space housing the Santo Domingo collection, I was immediately impressed and overwhelmed – there seemed to be treasures everywhere. The complex of rooms was filled with big rolls of movie and band posters, pinball machines, miscellaneous pop culture artifacts, floor-to-ceiling shelves of music and art books, and an expansive array of counterculture and drug-related paraphernalia and literature. As an Andy Warhol buff, I was particularly pleased to see one of Warhol's small art prints, propped against a reading chair in the library.
We had just a few days to comb through the music-related items from the Santo Domingo collection and decide what would be brought back to the Museum. The curators dug through shelves and boxes, occasionally debating the merits of a particular piece, while I frantically typed a rough inventory of the items slated to come to the Museum. As we worked, a fastidious team of professional art handlers impeccably packed the items for their international journey to Cleveland.
Now, almost two years later, a portion of this remarkable collection is on loan to the Museum and soon to be on exhibit. Santo Domingo was an avid connoisseur of Rolling Stones artifacts, a number of which are featured in our exhibit Rolling Stones: 50 Years of Satisfaction exhibit.
Collecting the Counterculture: Julio Mario Santo Domingo, Jr. presents a suitably eclectic sample of singular items gathered during that trip to Geneva. One of my favorite items is the red bicycle that Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett owned and rode until his death in 2006.
I also love the two Warhol-related pieces: a beautiful Italian poster for Andy Warhol's Trash film and an autographed LP cover for The Velvet Underground and Nico with its iconic Warhol-designed "peel-able" banana.
The original artwork for the Mad Magazine story "Hullabadig Au Go Go," which appeared in the September 1966 issue and pokes fun at music TV programs like "Shindig" and includes caricatures of artists such as Bob Dylan, does a brilliant job of colorfully capturing and commenting on an important moment in music – and pop culture – history.
Collecting the Counterculture: Julio Mario Santo Domingo, Jr. officially opens on October 9, 2013 and will be on display until January 5, 2014.
