The next exhibition to open at the Museo Italo Americano at San Francisco's Fort Mason Center, takes on expressionism from three artists.
Titled Natural Expressions, the exhibition features the works of artists Alberto Cristini, Vincent Galassi and John Malveto, and ranging in various mediums from watercolor, to photography, to stain painting. All three featured artists have given their artist statements on the museum's website at museoitaloamericano.org.
First up is Alberto Cristini, who grew up near Venice, Italy and had begun working with ink, watercolors and bronze sculpture in the 1980s. His series "Bodies in Motion" focuses on an upward projection of bodies, while defying the heaviness of the matter. His recent project is titled "Fusion", where he adds texture and color to photographs printed on canvas, and where three will be displayed in the exhibition, along with watercolor and acrylic paintings and bronze sculptures. The work Tramonto (Sunset) can be previewed on the museum's website.
Next is Vincent Galassi, who expertise is photography. Most of his works is mostly considered different types of abstract and still life, but also works in a series of mini-projects, where each of them contain a body of work comprising around ten images or more. This is where he sees a connection and continuity within the work, and where some projects continue and expand over periods of years. A sample of this can be seen in the work Sunflower Study #4.
Finally, there is John Malveto. He does stain painting, which is a development of new concepts where multiply stages of poured and brushed acrylic paint to numerous sheets of glass. The technique is called "abstract illusionist pour painting", where selected fantast-oriented images and layered positive and negative forms create a visually energetic surface. Sample of Malveto's art can be seen in the work Front Entrance.
Natural Expressions is on view until November 27th.

WA's most endangered animals have for the first time been ranked according to their likelihood of extinction.
The list compiled for The West Australian by the newly formed Threatened Species Council reveals how close some animals are to being lost for ever.
The rankings look at population size and the likelihood of survival based on threats from predators, disease and the encroachment of urban sprawl on habitats.
Frogs, turtles, birds and mammals all feature on the list of 16 animals, with the Gilbert's potoroo, which is found only on the south coast, ranked as the species most likely to disappear, with fewer than 100 left in the wild.
Native fish dying in lakes
Classifications from critically endangered through to vulnerable are based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature rankings.
Environment Minister Donna Faragher established the council to address the near-600 threatened species of flora and fauna around WA.
She said several WA agencies were conducting research into endangered species and the council would help make their work more effective.
"There are a range of reasons why we have species that are threatened, whether it is through habitat loss, feral pests or disease, we don't always know all of the science behind it and that is why we need these agencies to be doing that research," she said.
Mrs Faragher said there was no guarantee that the species on the list would be around in 10 years, but her department and other agencies had made a significant commitment towards ensuring they were.
Department of Environment and Conservation director-general Keiran McNamara, who chairs the council, said monitoring the abundance of many species on the list was often difficult because of their small size, low numbers, and cryptic behaviour.
Mr McNamara said fox-baiting had helped some threatened species but in some cases it let cats in as predators.

Fashion is largely about looking good, but a major part to that equation is staying in shape. There's a problem with that though, nobody trying to get in shape should squeeze into spandex.
One of the best – in terms of joint health and caloric burn – forms of activity is also one of the greatest fashion culprits out there — cycling. Are you aware of these attires? They're ridiculous. Though, there are some exceptions and they're greatly based around one brand, Rapha.
Rapha's late-20th century Italian feel was cool to begin with, but this year they've upped their game considerably. Their lead designer Graeme Raeburn tapped his brother to help with a new collaborative collection. This in-the-family approach is a recipe for disaster, unless your brother is Christopher Raeborn, whose ethical design slant inspired Vogue to write ""Remember the four R's – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Raeburn."
Cycling world, prepared to look good.
While the Raeborn duo didn't reinvent spandex, they did what any rational person would do: They covered it up.
Cyclists ride for hours, burning thousands of calories and work up a sweat. In doing so, riders ride with layers. Arm and leg warms that can removed easily or slid down while riding, gloves, wind vests and jackets are all used to stay warm and cool on a day that may fluctuate by 30 or 40 degrees on the ride. One of the most distinctive items in the new Rapha collection is it's riding jacket that resembles a horse jockey's coat.
Top layers for cyclists have a distinct flair to them. Other than to look ridiculous, there's function to this. The brighter, flashier you are, theoretically, the more visible you are on the road. Now you can look good in a neon orange, theoretically, but something tells me nobody will be saying "black is the new neon orange" any day soon. That said, the Raeborn do incorporate orange as well as an army green and, wait for it, polka dots and stripes. Recipe for disaster? Quite the opposite, a recipe to both avoid on-bike disasters while keeping the Raeborn brand strong.
Keeping with Christopher Raeburn's tradition, the Rapha partnership uses repurposed materials, keeping his eco-friendly feel. In addition to the jacket, the special edition capsule collection also features jeans and a Henley for the city cyclist.
For Rapha this pairing makes sense. If there's one cycling company that constantly makes riders look good – or as good as possible, it's the Portland-based brand. Their in house design team, which is lead by Graeme Raeburn, consistently puts out functional riding gear for both the urban and team cyclist that reminds me of 1960s Italian soccer teams.
Graeme's designs are available year round on Rapha's website www.rapha.cc. The brother's collection, however, is not available yet. The Spring/Summer is expected to be released April 12. The jacket retails at $450, the Henley sells for $190 and the jeans $275.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Bunnett, Jane
Bunnett, Jane, soprano saxophone, flute; Toronto, 22 October 1956. She was trained as a classical pianist and clarinetist. Hampered at the piano by tendonitis, she began playing flute and a little bit of alto saxophone. While at the university, she broke her ankle, and with the out-of-court settlement money she bought a soprano. Bunnett moved into jazz after meeting trumpeter Larry Cramer at York University in Toronto--they have been together ever since. Among their favorite LPs from those years were Stanley Cowell's record, Musa Ancestral Streams; Abbey Lincoln, That's Him; Don Pullen's solo piano album on Sackville; and Clifford Jordan's 1973 album Glass Bead Game.
She did some studying under saxophonist Steve Lacy and pianists Pullen and Barry Harris. They first went to Cuba as tourists in the early 80s. They started to work on the project in Jane Bunnett about 1988 and started to record in 1990. One experience Bunnett and Cramer shared was the threat of legal action from the United States for doing business in American-blockaded Cuba, even though the two are Canadians. The internationally-condemned Helms-Burton bill cast a shadow over musical artists involved with Cuban musicians, but the undeterred Bunnett and Cramer playfully named their 1996-97 tour "Come Helms Or High Water." Ultimately, they claimed a sort of moral victory when they took a group of Cuban musicians to perform at Washington's Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Since 1990, she and partner Larry Cramer, a trumpeter, have brought more than 40 Cuban musicians to tour with them in Canada and the United States, and they've established the Spirits of Music project that raises money to repair broken instruments in Cuba's conservatories. In 2000, Jane was the subject of a feature length NFB documentary, "Spirits of Havana."
In May of 2002 the Smithsonian Institute recognized and honoured Jan for her "lifetime of dedication to the enrichment and diffusion of Latin music" At the same time, Bunnett has maintained her connection to the jazz mainstream. Throughout her career she has regularly performed and recorded with such major jazz artists as saxophonist Dewey Redman, pianists Pullen, Paul Bley, and Stanley Cowell, bassist Charlie Haden, drummer Billy Hart, and singers Sheila Jordan and Janne Lee, among others.

The iO Quartet performs its debut concert as the Billy Joel Graduate String Quartet in Residence at Purchase College on Wednesday, December 13th at 8 PM in the Recital Hall of the Music Building. Performing works by Haydn, Beethoven and Thomas Adés, the iO Quartet will showcase its new perspectives on familiar works of the past and its interpretations of the new works of today. The concert is free and open to the public.
The residency is made possible by a significant grant from the Billy Joel Endowment Fund.
Purchase College, State University of New York, is located at 735 Anderson Hill Road, Purchase, N.Y.
The evening's program includes "the old works," Haydn's String Quartet in A Major, Op. 20, No. 6 and Beethoven's String Quartet in C# minor, Op. 131, plus a "new work," Arcadiana, by British composer Thomas Adés.
Passionate about the music being written today, the Quartet considers new compositions an integral part of its repertoire and uses new technologies and multi-media to expand an audience's appreciation of its performance.
Nicholas DiEugenio is first violinist of the iO Quartet. A graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Music, he has performed often as a soloist with the Cleveland Pops Orchestra. He has also performed with the National Repertory Orchestra, the Cleveland Philharmonic and the Long Bay Symphony in Myrtle Beach, S.C. He recently completed a year of study at the Yale School of Music under Ani Kavafian.
Violinist Elizabeth Weisser has performed throughout the United States and Europe as a soloist and chamber musician. She received her bachelor's degree from the Oberlin Conservatory and her master's degree from the Mannes College of Music. She was a founding member of the Enesco Quartet at Oberlin, and performed extensively with the Contemporary Music Ensemble.
Violist Maiya Papach received her master's degree from the Juilliard School and her bachelor's degree from the Oberlin Conservatory, where she won the concerto competition. She has performed as a chamber musician at Alice Tully Hall and Bargemusic in New York, and also toured Belarus and Russia with the award-winning DaCapo Chamber Players. She is a founding member of ICE, and has played with the Iris Chamber Orchestra.
Cellist Christopher Gross is active as a contemporary music soloist and chamber musician with performances throughout the United States and Europe. He recently premiered Milton Babbitt's More Melismata for solo cello on the 2006 Focus! Festival. He has played with various new music ensembles, including the International Contemporary Ensemble, Continuum, the Second Instrumental Unit, Ensemble Annura and the Juilliard Electric Ensemble. He is a graduate of Oberlin College and Conservatory and received his master's degree from the Juilliard School.
The Billy Joel Graduate String Quartet in Residence was selected by a competitive audition process which included some of the finest young ensembles from across the nation and abroad. The quartet had to embody excellent musicianship, a clearly articulated musical aesthetic, a passion for contemporary music, a commitment to music education, a desire to engage in community outreach activities, and a strong determination to succeed professionally as a committed ensemble.
In addition to their studies and participation in major campus concerts and music productions, the Billy Joel Graduate String Quartet in Residence will serve as ambassadors for the College, performing locally and regionally in schools, community concert series and other venues.
As an advocate for music education, Billy Joel first began holding "master class" sessions on college campuses more than 20 years ago, across the country and around the world. He has expressed concern that young musicians do not receive the kind of sustained support necessary to help launch their careers. Purchase plans to use some of the grant to offer career development support to the Quartet for participation in competitions, regional touring, outreach activities and its eventual New York City debut recital.
Joel has long encouraged collaboration among the performing arts as well as advancement of "crossover" learning and performance among the various genres of music.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz says cutting defensive back Aaron Berry this week was a tough call from a football standpoint.
But he says from a team standpoint, it was an easy decision.
The Lions terminated Berry's contract Monday, two days after his second arrest of the offseason. It was the most recent of several run-ins with law enforcement for the team.
Schwartz says two bad errors in judgment didn't bode well for what a player might do during a big game.
The Lions start practice Friday.

the Federal Reserve meets and changes
rates we all have questions: What
does it mean to me? Will my mortgage
rate go up or down? Is this a good
time to refinance? Bankrate is here
to help. We've looked at five categories
-- mortgages, home equity loans, auto
loans, credit cards and certificates
of deposit -- to determine if the
Fed's moves made you a winner or a
loser. Here's a look at mortgages:
Mortgage rates often dip when investors fearing an economic slowdown grow more conservative and buy up Treasuries and bonds. This causes long-term rates -- and by extension, mortgage rates -- to fall, creating an opportunity to get better terms on a loan.
However, the nation's recent credit woes mean you probably need a sound credit history to take advantage of these better terms.
"If you are a high-quality credit household and you're looking to buy a house, prices have fallen in many markets," says Doug Duncan, chief economist for the Mortgage Bankers Association. "In addition to that, interest rates have come down.
"Those two things indicate that you're likely to get a more affordable mortgage and homes will be more affordable."
People with adjustable-rate mortgages can also refinance to a fixed-rate mortgage. This will lock in their payment for years to come, regardless of the future direction of mortgage rates.
"The takeaway for the average Joe is that it's one heck of a time to refinance," says Bob Walters, chief economist for Quicken Loans.
Meanwhile, if your credit is bad or your home is losing value, you likely will have more difficulty getting a loan. Still, it's worth calling around to find a lender who may be willing to work with you, Walters says.
"I'm not saying that everyone's going to get approved," he says. "I'm saying that everybody should try."

|Selected FAQ
Why won't the printer print black or color?
This is usually caused by dried ink clogging the print head nozzles.
The most common causes are:
1. The printer has been turned off using a power strip rather than the printer's power button. This may cause the ink to dry because the print head is not positioned properly when shut down. It will also cause long cleaning cycles on power up.
2. Refilled, improperly installed or removed and reinstalled ink cartridge. Never attempt to refill ink cartridges. Make sure that only the yellow or blue tape is removed from the ink cartridge before installing it. Never remove a cartridge to visually check the ink level and reinstall it. It is not possible to visually check the ink level because the ink is contained in a sponge-like material and it will always appear to contain ink, even when empty.
3. Ink cartridge has been in the printer more than 6 months. The ink will slowly lose it's viscosity and dry up over time even if not used. Also check the "USE BEFORE" date on the cartridge box when you purchase it to make sure it is fresh.
4. Extended periods of printer inactivity.
If using the printer's cleaning buttons on the control panel does not clear the print head. The printer's cleaning utility program should be used which is a more intense method.
IMPORTANT! A head cleaning and nozzle check page must be performed as a cycle so subsequent cleanings will advance to a higher intensity cleaning cycle. This process ought to be repeated until the nozzle check prints correctly. When the nozzle check prints correctly the printer is ready to go. If you run more than 6 cleaning cycles and the nozzle check is still not printing correctly, the ink cartridge may need replacement or the printer may require service.First make sure your printer has fresh ink cartridges then do the following in Windows:
1. Click Start - Printer - Settings in Windows 95/98
or open Control Panel - Printers in Windows 3.1
2. Click on your Stylus printer model
3. Click on Properties
4. Click on Utilities
5. Run Nozzle Check
6. Check printout for missing black or color ink. If any lines are missing, that indicates a clogged ink nozzle(s)
7. Click on Head Cleaning
8. Run Nozzle Check
9. Repeat head cleaning/nozzle check 3 times
10. If no improvement, repeat cleaning/nozzle check sequence up to 6 times.
Depending on the severity of the blockage, after going through this cycle up to 6 times (with fresh ink cartridges) some improvement should be noticed, if not totally cleared. If improvement is noticed, continue the cleaning/nozzle check cycles until the blockage is cleared. Slight improvement may be seen after each cycle. This could require many cleaning cycles in sets of 3 cleaning/nozzle checks but as long as improvement is continous it should solve the problem.
If this doesn't solve the problem contact Epson Support via our web site technical support E-Mail form or phone for repair instructions.

Amy Jacobson's BIKINI VIDEO case gave Amy a big win today. In the Amy Jacobson Bikini Video lawsuit, a Cook County judge said Jacobson, a former NBC-5 reporter, can proceed in her lawsuit against CBS Broadcasting Inc.
CBS-2 ran and commented on a July 2007 tape. In the bikini video, Jacobson was recorded in her bathing suit inside the home of Craig Stebic.
Amy's lawsuit is also against the person who shot the video.
Associate Cook County Judge Elizabeth Budzinski granted four of the eight counts in Jacobson's defamation suit to proceed. The ruling states:
It cannot be said that the statements made during the … CBS broadcast were more capable of an innocent construction than the alleged defamatory meaning ascribed to the statements by [Jacobson] in her complaint.
The CBS newscaster presented the footage with statement made in the form of insinuations and questions regarding Jacobson activities while at the Stebic home… these statements … suggest that Jacobson used improper methods in cultivating sources and obtaining stories. The statements were made in a specific factual context … and had a precise and readily understood meaning – that Jacobson was engaging in improper conduct.
The statements made by the CBS reporters during the broadcast regarding Jacobson are capable of being proven true or false. Thus these statements are actionable. ..
The broadcast suggested that Jacobson used improper methods such as adultery in cultivating sources and obtaining stories…
[Statements made on Ch. 2] could be found by a jury to be offensive to a reasonable person where they imputed that J lacked the ability and integrity to discharge the duties of her employment as a reporter. And that she used improper and seductive means to get her stories.

I believe she has something to do with that missing woman. Why else would she have taken her children to a suspected murderers home? It sure wasn't for the story. That would be to risky for any woman to do.
Plus look at how sneaky she looks. She's looking around for people hoping no one will see her. She knew exactly what she was doing and should be investigated as an accessory.
Now that Cain says he never saw Bialak, what does conservative talk show host Amy Jacobson (WMAQ – Chicago) say now? Remember she swears she saw Bialak with Cain one month ago!
Hannity and Limbaugh were making a big deal about this yesterday before Cain's press conference when Cain said he NEVER saw Bialak! In fact, Hannity was going to have her on his show last night before Cain's press conference. Today, not a single right winger or for that fact any other media pundit or journalist has brought up Amy Jacobson! I cannot believe NONE of you brought this up after Cain's press conference.
Either Amy Jacobson is a liar or Cain is a liar, correct? I urge you to call this out not just with Cain but to all right wing blowhards who all of a sudden never heard of their fellow righty Amy J.
Del Ali
I have sent this to all media outlets and would expect you to own up to either you were wrong or Cain's a liar. There is no possible spin you can put on this. Remember, your a right winger and at the core of your values is that grey areas and platitudes do not exist, everything is black and white and Yes or No. This applies here as well, plain and simple.
If you admit your wrong then fine and I will have respect for you, please do not try to spin this.

Alisha Filmore
Nov. 15, 2012
DALLAS (SMU) - Senior Alisha Filmore made six free throws in the final 1:09 to finish with 16 points and lead SMU to a 67-63 win over North Texas Thursday night in Moody Coliseum. The Mustangs scored 18 points in the last 5:09 to outlast North Texas and improve to 3-0 on the season, while the Mean Green fell to 0-2.
In a game that was body blow after body blow and included 43 fouls, the Mustangs delivered the final blow down the stretch, taking a six-point lead, 61-55 with 1:33 left in the game, after Korina Baker hit a fast break layup to cap off a 5-0 SMU run in just under a minute.
After Gabrielle Wilkins hit a free throw with 2:27 left to give SMU a two-point lead, Baker came down with a rebound amidst a crowd of North Texas players after Alexis Hyder missed a contested jumper. The transfer guard found a sprinting Filmore for the fast break layup. On the next possession, Akil Simpson stole a pass and hit Baker for the layup to put SMU up six with a minute and a half to play.
The Mustangs shot 54.2 percent from the field in the second half, and went 13 of 21 from the free throw line, out-scoring North Texas 39-34 in the final 20 minutes to take the win in their third game in six days. Filmore scored 12 of her 16 points in the second half, and Wilkins, playing in her first game as a freshman, scored eight points in the final 20 minutes and finished with 11.
North Texas threw the first punch, scoring the first seven points of the game. After BreAnna Dawkins put the Mean Green up 9-2 just over three minutes into the game, the Mustangs shook off the blow, went on a 12-0 run, took their first lead 10-9 with 12:28 seconds left in the first half, and the fight was on. Mallory Singleton scored the bucket to give SMU the lead after Gabrielle Wilkins scored a driving layup and made the free throw, converting the and-one situation to pull the Mustangs to within one, 9-8 with 13:15 on the clock.
The Mustangs held North Texas scoreless from the field for nearly eight minutes, from just under the 17 minute mark to just under the nine minute mark, before Christian Hannah knocked down a three to pull the Mean Green to within two points of the Mustangs, who led 16-14 with 8:55 left in the half. The defensive effort by both teams kept the score close, and despite scoring 10 points on nine North Texas turnovers while the Mean Green only got five points on six SMU turnovers, the Mustangs trailed 29-28 at halftime.
Farrin Bell scored 12 points on a team-high five field goals to give SMU three players in double figures, and Akil Simpson grabbed a team-high eight rebounds. SMU had 12 steals on 22 North Texas turnovers, converting for 20 points.
SMU is back in action against Arkansas-Little Rock in Moody Coliseum on Monday at 7 p.m. For ticket information, visit SMUMustangs.com/tickets or call 214-SMU-GAME.

College Hockey:Quinnipiac upsets No. 8 Nebraska-Omaha
Bobcats netminder Hartzell saves 56, captain Zurevinski tallies twice in win
HAMDEN, Conn. — On Thursday night, the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks traveled to Hamden to take on the Quinnipiac Bobcats for the first ever meeting between the two teams.
Junior captain Scott Zurevinski lead the way for the Bobcats scoring two goals to help QU to a 4-3 win. Quinnipiac goaltender Eric Hartzell made a season-high 56 saves in the winning effort.
"He was excellent tonight." said head coach Rand Pecknold, "We are excited with the win, but we know that he stole one for us tonight."
Quinnipiac got on the board first 8:38 into the first period on Scott Zurevinski's seventh goal of the season. Defenseman Loren Barron started the play after he took a wrist shot from the near-point. Zurevinski was able to tip the Barron shot and redirect it through Faulkner's legs.
"I just got a little piece of it and it wasn't much. I just was able to get an ugly goal off of the good shot from Baron." Zurevinski said.
Zurevinski's goal was the only scoring in the first, but UNO was not without some offensive opportunities. The Mavericks ended the first period with 19 shots on goal.
"They were taking shots from everywhere right from the start of the game." said Zurevinski.
The Bobcats extended their lead 4:17 into the second period on a power play goal from Jeremy Langlois. Barron got the play started through the neutral zone and fed Kellen Jones on the nearside circle. Jones found himself in an odd man rush with Langlois streaking on the far side. Langlois took the pass and beat Faulkner top shelf.
With 3:53 remaining in the second period Barron put the Bobcats up by three goals with his first of the season. Much like his first goal of the game, Barron took the puck from the point and beat Faulkner just inside the left post with another wrist shot. Russell Goodman started the play after he won the face-off back to Jeremy Langlois, who simply sent it along the blue line to Barron.
After Barron scored his first goal of the season he took his second penalty of the game with just 1:52 left in the second.
UNO was able to cut Quinnipiac's lead to two goals after Bryce Aneloski took a wrister of his own and went top shelf to beat Hartzell just nineteen seconds into the power play. After taking the pass from Matt Ambroz, Aneloski made two moves around two QU defenders and found his opportunity in the high slot.
With plenty of traffic in front Aneloski made the perfect shot through traffic to go high glove-side to find the back of the net. It was Aneloski's second goal of the season.
UNO wasted no time into the third period to chip away at the Bobcats lead. Just minutes into the third a turnover in the Quinnipiac zone gave Maverick's defenseman Mike Young a quick shot from the far corner on net. The rebound came right out in front of Hartzell where Matt Ambroz sent his back-hander just inside the right post for his team leading 10th goal of the season.
The Mavericks tied the game with 8:18 left on the clock when Brent Gwidt got himself into a one on one battle with QU's Mike Glaicar. Gwidt made a move in the high slot and got around Glaicar with just enough room in front of Hartzell to sneak it between Hartzell's left skate and the left post.
"After the break it was clear that they were in a better shape than us. They played the week before Christmas and we had a six day layoff so it was clear that tonight they were in better shape." said Pecknold.
Quinnipiac went back on the power play with 6:16 remaining in the third period after UNO's Tony Turgeon got booked for charging.
With 4:27 left in the third period QU took the lead for good on their second power play goal of the game. Kellen Jones took the puck into the zone and found Zurevinski in the high slot. After a quick wrist shot was turned away by Faulkner the rebound came to the right of the net.
Zurevinski crashed the net and put enough pressure on the rebound until it was knocked in off a Maverick.
"Neither of my goals were pretty goals tonight" said Zurevinski with a smile. "I don't think either one will be making the highlight reel."
Regardless of the 56 saves, Hartzell kept a modest attitude.
"It was a team effort tonight and you can't do it without those guys on the ice. Our defensemen did a great job controlling the rebounds when I gave them up and I did what I could to control them as well."
Both teams will have to play on short rest tomorrow with a noon start time back at the TD Bank Sports Center.

TC TO WILLIAM JOHNSTONE ; 22 January 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18580122-TC-WJO-01; CL 33: 169-170
Chelsea, 22 jany, 1858—
Dear Sir,
I have read your "bit of Annandale Produce,"—your prose part of it wholly, for the first time, and a good many of poor Johnstone's rhymed Pieces for the second;1—and have to give you thanks for a really interesting hour or two you have procured me.
I remember the good old Shoemaker very well; and had always been taught to esteem him as a man of honest piety, sense and worth, before I saw any of his writings. Our one little interview I recollect very well, too;2 and the figure of the old man is pleasant to me at this moment,—the Favish,3 or whoever it was that moved us on the occasion, has entirely vanished. I read Johnstone's Poems afterwards; which increased my kind feeling towards him. An excellent Brother-mortal was clearly evident there; struggling under manifold impediments, and making an honourable shift among them,—victorious intrinsically as few are.
You seem to me to have done a pious service in recording such a Life, such a scene of human things, mute otherwise; and to have done it with real merit, in a faithful, loving and genial manner.4 I can well fancy (in spite of the misprints)5 it may be very popular in its native neighbourhood and else-where. For in fact there is very considerable rugged stuff in it; and I have known many an ambitious volume that had not half as much to tell its readers when they summed up the account. "Corrie Water"6 country is actually pourtrayed there, and the Figure of one of its worthiest men:—and a portrait, an actual Likeness, were it done only with a burnt stick on the board of a pair of bellows,—how infinitely preferable to the finest burin work when it is a no-likeness of anything in Heaven or Earth!— I will send this Book to Scotsbrig, one of these days; and in the meanwhile I return you many thanks for such a mark of your remembrance, and for so pleasant a piece of service to poor old Annandale at large;—being always, with many good wishes, and encouragements to stay still where you are, and prosper,
Yours sincerely / T. Carlyle

I think that genealogists have to be brave. A prime example of how family historians sometime learn things about their ancestors that perhaps they did not want to know is found in an awfully absorbing book, The Perfect Nazi. Historical documentary film-maker for the BBC, A&E and the History Channel, Martin P. Davidson, traces the life and times of his mysterious German grandfather, a Prussian dentist named Dr. Bruno Langbehn. Using surviving archives from the Reich to investigate little snatches of family lore, Davidson uncovers a fascinating, but sordid, story that intimately ties Langbehn to Nazism from its birth pangs in 1922 until the Reich's collapse in 1945 when he was a SS Obersturmfuhrer assigned to Prague, Czechoslovakia. Much to the discomfort of his descendants, Langbehn remained a committed and unrepentent Nazi until his death in 1984. If you like history, archives and genealogy, I highly recommend that you read this engaging book about the role that willing agents, the factotums, and the managers, - like Dr. Langbehn - played in the rise of and the horror that became The Third Reich.
Summer Reading Book Reviews 2012
"Life is a poker game" according to Frankel in this book is about forging friendships among women. Each week, the Brownstone School Diversity Committee is supposed to discuss how to create a more diverse student body at the exclusive New York City school, but the meetings quickly become a women's only weekly poker game. Of course, there are the usual thoughts and/or acts of adultery, brittle marriages, cancer, divorce, and parenting problems to work through to keep the novel contemporary. This is not great literature, includes mature themes, sex, and profanity, but it was entertaining.
For four years Clint Hill was the secret service agent assigned to protecting Jacqueline Kennedy. He called her Mrs. Kennedy, and she called him Mr. Hill. During this time he went from being petulant about this assignment to a loyal guardian and friend. He is quickly swept up by her beauty and vulnerability, and often speaks reverently about her courage and spirit. He was there for her when President Kennedy himself could not be. They traveled the world together, and he tried to give her the private life she craved, but inevitably he could not. This book is filled with unforgettable moments with Jackie Kennedy which ended all too soon with the tragic death of the President that still haunts Clint Hill today. If you love history and the Camelot era, you will thoroughly enjoy this book.
A thought provoking look into the future after the world as we know it has been destroyed. The author leaves the source of destruction to the imagination, but one wonders if it is the effect of war. An elite class has risen to rule over the nation, and keeps the people subdued through separation, starvation, and humiliation. The battle to survive is sensationalized yearly through "The Hunger Games," in which teenagers are forced to fight for their lives. The protagonists draw the readers' sympathy and fast paced action makes the novel hard to put down. I can't wait to read the sequels!
In our day there is so much peer pressure for teens and even children to have boyfriends or girlfriends. Being brought up in that culture I have to wonder if this is really a good thing. Knowing all the unnecessary heartache I went through playingthe dating game, I wanted better for my kids. After all, it wasn't until I gave up and quit that I met my husband. Through the combination of storytelling, informal speaking, and real life testimonies, Sarah Mally paints a glorious picture, fully supported with Biblical references, of courtship. The most difficult time one endures is in the pain of waiting patiently. It all pays off in the end with a beautiful, fulfilling marriage where the two truly become one as there are no lingering ties to partners past. Each chapter has a self-study application and thought question making it ideal for someone seriously looking to combat today's immoral, self-indulgent culture and stay pure for her Prince Charming. Although written for girls, I am using this book with my boys as they too should remain untainted while they grow and work toward building a strong foundation for life with their future bride and this book will still provide some help to them as well.

Great Balls of Fire! There's a Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On at the Denver Center for Performing Arts. You'll be tapping your toe from the first bar of "Blue Suede Shoes" that opens the high-energy show to the surprise ending that plunges the crowd into rock 'n roll delirium.
Million Dollar Quartet is the hillbilly homecoming of rockers Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins based on one night's jam session at Sam Phillips' Sun Records in Memphis on December 4, 1956.
What started out as a recording session for Perkins accompanied by the piano of yet unknown Lewis turns into an impromptu jam fest when Presley and Cash stop by. Realizing the the talent in the room, Phillips asks a reporter from the local paper to document the gathering. The journalist takes the now-famous photo and dubs the four the "Million Dollar Quartet" in his article where he calls the landmark event "an old fashioned barrel-house session with barbershop harmonies resulting."
Anyone in the audience on opening night January 25 would argue the barbershop part: this is plain old rockabilly gettin' down!
There is some drama during the 90-minute, no-intermission show (both Cash and Perkins tell Phillips they have left Sun to sign with Columbia, and Carl Perkins is still miffed that even though he wrote and recorded "Blue Suede Shoes" in 1956, it was Presley's re-recording that made it famous), but mostly it's music and memories. If you grew up in the pre-Beatles era, you won't want to miss this.
On that history-making night, 21-year-old Presley had already attained movie stardom, had just appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and was on his way to his iconic career as the King of Rock 'n Roll. Cash had crossed over from county hits to the pop charts, Perkins was trying to recapture the success of his first hit, and Lewis was the brazen newcomer with a wild piano act. He knew what he wanted: "You made a big star out of Elvis Presley," he said to Phillips, "and I want you to do the same for me."
He was right. Phillips launched each of men's careers; a man with an instinct for the right sound.
"Rock and Roll isn't a fad," he said. "It's a revolution."
John Countryman as Jerry Lee Lewis, Lee Ferris as Carl Perkins, Scott Moreau as Johnny Cash and Cody Ray Slaughter as Elvis Presley not only sound like the icons, they have all the characteristic movements down pat and are amazing musicians. Kelly Lamont as Presley's girlfriend delivers a steaming "Fever," and Vince Nappo plays the hyper studio boss Phillips, at times talking too fast.
Be sure to check out the Hard Rock International Memorabilia display cases in the lobby of the Buell Theatre. They hold Jerry Lee Lewis' paisley velvet jacket, Elvis Presley's long brown suede trench coat, Johnny Cash's Natural 1971 Martin D-35 guitar and Carl Perkins' Blue Gibson '96 Country Gentleman electric guitar.
Million Dollar Quartet plays The Buell through March 9. Performance dates are Tuesday-Sunday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. For tickets, call 303-893-4100 or visit www.denvercenter.org.

Recap | Final Stats | Notes | Photo Gallery
at San Jose State 35, Stanford 34 (San Jose, CA - Spartan Stadium)
September 9, 2006
Opening Statement
"I'd like to congratulate San Jose State and Dick Tomey and the spirit and enthusiasm they played with. If you're a fan, [it was] a tremendous game. If you're a Stanford fan, you were left wanting."
On Stanford's need for improvement
"We all need to do a better job of getting our players to work on the areas that we need to improve on. Obviously, we need to tackle better; we have to do the things to help you win, not [those that] cause you to lose. We obviously have a lot of work to do. We have a big responsibility next week opening our new stadium against a talented and challenging opponent."
On one of the keys of the game
"Any time you have a team that runs the ball that well you can't turn the ball over and give the momentum back to them."
On San Jose State quarterback Adam Tafralis
"Their quarterback handled their offense really well and they converted on a couple of critical third downs that kind of took the momentum away from us."
On the game's momentum
"The sport of football is played with momentum; we had it in the first half and couldn't get it back in the second half and a lot of that was due to the way the offense performed. They scored right before we headed to halftime. I think any time a team scores like that pretty convincingly they are going to pick up a lot of momentum for the second half."
On Dwight Lowery's interception in the end zone
"It was a great play call. It (the ball) was just too far behind the receiver. I got to know when it's third and long or third and goal not to put the ball in man coverage behind the receivers. Unfortunately the defensive back made a great play on it, and I guess I would like to have that one back."
On San Jose State
"I have a lot of respect for San Jose State and their coaching staff and players, and I think the better team won today."


text: Apollo 8 contained a novel set of mechanical and electrical interfaces (CSM, LTA-B lunar module dummy, launch adapter, and Saturn V vehicle), Low observed. Furthermore, concern about these complex interfaces had increased because one of the adapter panels on Apollo 7 had not opened properly. What Low - as well as MSC Director Robert R. Gilruth - desired foremost was to preclude repetition of another situation such as had occurred during the Gemini IX mission, when the shroud panels covering the Agena target vehicle had only partially deployed and had produced the "angry alligator" that forced cancellation of docking plans on that earlier flight.

Markets Wake Up to Ratings Changes in Europe
France two weeks ago, now The Netherlands. Markets in Europe woke up to a fresh downgrade in northern Europe today as S&P slashed its long term credit ratings on The Netherlands to AA+ from AAA.
Citing growth prospects that were weaker than anticipated, a GDP growth rate lower than its peers and the prospect of only a slow recovery, S&P nevertheless said further downgrades were unlikely.
As we explain over in our main story, the Dutch economy is a tale of indebted households which have been hit by falling house prices and government austerity measures, squeezing domestic demand. Many households are in negative equity. While the Dutch economy emerged from a year-long recession in the third quarter, growth is expected to remain subdued in 2014 and beyond.
Markets barely blinked, however, with Amsterdam's main AEX index up 0.06% by 10 a.m. in Amsterdam. The Dutch finance ministry said the downgrade wouldn't impact the country's borrowing costs, but that the move encouraged it to press ahead with reforms and deal with structural problems.
What a different story it was in the peripheral European countries though: S&P offered a more positive stance on both Spain (still a BBB-/A-3 rating but with an outlook changed to stable from negative) and Cyprus (upgraded to B-/B from CCC+/C).
Here are condensed excerpts of S&P's rationale:
On The Netherlands:
"After contracting by a projected 1.2% in 2013, we expect The Netherlands' real GDP to grow by 0.5% in 2014 and to slowly accelerate to 1.5% by 2016, about half the average annual rate of 2004-2007 and well below the long-term trend (1994-2009: 2.4%). We calculate The Netherlands' real GDP per capita trend growth in 2006-2016 at -0.1%, significantly below our long-term per capita growth expectations of between 0.3% and 1.5% for The Netherlands' peer group, which our ratings methodology defines as sovereigns whose economies produce a
per capita GDP in excess of $27,000.
The ratings remain supported by our view of high GDP per capita, which we estimate at $46,800 in 2013. A strong external balance sheet (net external assets are estimated at 50% of GDP) supported by constant current account
surpluses (estimated at an average of 10% of GDP in 2013-2016) and a competitive workforce also underpin the ratings.
Consumer spending has been dampened by high household debt levels and falling house prices. Household indebtedness was 110% of GDP at June 30, 2013 and house prices have fallen by 20% from their peak, and we expect a further small decline in 2014. According to the Dutch National Bank (DNB), 16% of all Dutch households have mortgage debt higher than the value of their property."
On Spain:
"We estimate that Spain's real GDP will contract by about 1.2% in 2013 but then slowly recover, following the prolonged recession due to the protracted structural adjustment in the Spanish economy. We forecast real GDP growth of 0.8% in 2014 and 1.2% in 2015, chiefly on the back of robust exports. Strong
headwinds persist, however. Domestic demand is weak and constrained by further declines in disposable income due to high unemployment, reduced wages, and budgetary consolidation. In addition, investment activity remains subdued as the private sector deleverages its balance sheets and credit activity
continues to decline. We currently project average annual real GDP growth over 2013-2016 of about 0.6%, compared with about 0.3% previously. Over the medium to long term, we think that, if left unchecked, high structural unemployment and unfavorable investment trends–compounded by demographic changes, including an aging population–will curb the economy's growth potential.
We expect the current account surplus of about 1.4% of GDP in 2013 to rise to an estimated 3% of GDP in 2015-2016, after a deficit of almost 10% of GDP in 2008. We see improvement in this credit metric as key, as it points to a whittling down of Spain's high external indebtedness."
And on Cyprus:
"We anticipate that the Cypriot government–having successfully completed the first two Troika program reviews–will continue to timely comply with the program recommendations it has agreed with the Troika. The program has improved the government's debt profile, covering its borrowing requirements
(apart from 6% of GDP in short-term debt) through to March 2016.
"As part of the program, the government has merged and recapitalized Cyprus' two largest banks. The new Bank of Cyprus has regained access to ECB facilities, although it still relies on Central Bank of Cyprus Emergency Liquidity Assistance for an estimated 45% of GDP. Thanks partly to the Cypriot government's policy response we now believe that Cyprus' economic contraction will be less severe than we had initially anticipated.
"Although the pace of contraction of the Cypriot economy (5.5% year-on-year in third-quarter 2013) has been the most rapid in the eurozone in 2013, it is now contracting less quickly than we forecast in July (when we thought it would shrink by 14% for the year). For this reason, we are revising our GDP forecasts for 2013 and 2014 to -8% and -6%, but we remain uncertain about these estimates.
However, there are also potential upside risks to the government's credit profile. Primarily, if current exploration for oil and gas in offshore fields were to yield additional discoveries, this could materially improve the Cypriot government's revenues. This prospect, however, is enmeshed in geopolitics, as Turkey would be the logical offtaker for Cyprus' gas exports, but commercial incentives could be thwarted by the contentious issue regarding the partition of Cyprus.We also note that the Troika program provides little margin for error; fiscal slippage, either through implementation problems, lower-than-anticipated growth, or additional financial sector recapitalization needs, could deplete program buffers, leaving a financing gap."

Please supply the correct answer.
There are a number of risk factors for depression and suicide associated with family stressors. For instance, a family history of depression increases a person's risk three to four times for getting depression. A family history of substance abuse also increases a person's risk for depression, as well as being a substance user. A family history of suicide, high levels of family conflict, poor communication with parents, parental separation / divorce, and high pressure to succeed are also among the risk factors for depression and / or suicide. Serious or chronic medical illness of a family member can also contribute to depression in teenagers.
Family connectedness is a protective factor for depression and suicide. Families can become more connected by improving communication skills and by finding positive ways to resolve conflict.
It is important that parents be consistent and model positive behaviors for their children. Children are more likely to remember what parents do, rather than what they say. Conflicts can arise when parents' behaviors contradict their words.

I am adding a field to a SQL Server 2008 database. The field needs to accomodate up to 8000 characters (occasionally Unicode chars as well). Seems from my research that text data type is being deprecated. Go with nvarchar or stick with text anyway for such a large field?
For up to 8000 with unicode, you can only use nvarchar(max)
The limit for nvarchar is 4000 without using a LOB data types (max, that is)
"text" is deprecated (and frankly rubbish compared to max types)
My recommendation on new design is never to use features that are being deprecated without a good reason. If it's possible that this application will survive to see a newer version of SQL Server then I wouldn't do it. I'd use NVARCHAR(MAX).

This will be CU's third and fourth match on the young season against opponents from the Centennial State. The Buffs defeated Air Force and Colorado State during January and February matches.
The Buffs (4-2) will take to the road during the first week of March travelling to Lincoln, Neb. to continue non-conference play against St. Louis (March 3) and Nebraska (March 4). Tennis is the first sport outside of men's/women's basketball, and volleyball to play the former Big 12 Conference rival in a head-to-head matchup since both schools went their separate ways last summer. The Cornhuskers joined the Big Ten Conference.
A quartet of CU women each have four victories during the spring season. Sophomores Winde Janssens, Carla Manzi Tenorio, Kristina Schleich, and freshman Julyette Steur have identical 4-2 records. Sophomore Erin Sanders also ranks high with three victories.
Janssens and Manzi Tenorio (3-1 in spring play, 7-1 overall) are currently the No. 55 nationally ranked doubles team. The CU pair have been ranked as high as No. 21 this semester. They are the first CU pair to be ranked since the final 2010 spring rankings when Melisa Esposito/Cami Belassi finished No. 67 (out of 90), in addition to Ania Anuszkiewicz/Monica Milewski at No. 85.
Northern Colorado is off to a slow start to the 2012 season, with just one win in its first five matches (1-4). CU leads the all-time series, 28-2 dating back to 1975 and have won 15-straight since 1985. CU/UNC have played the last six in a row in Boulder with CU defeating the Bears, 7-0 in 2010.
The Pioneers are 6-3 so far this season and host Air Force, Friday night. Prior to the AFA match, DU has lost three of four matches after starting the season with five straight victories. Two of their losses have come against nationally ranked teams in No. 34 Texas Tech and No. 52 Utah, both 7-0 decisions.
DOUBLES COURT: Winde Janssens and Carla Manzi Tenorio are 3-1 over the first two months of the season with Erin Sanders and Ashley Tiefel, 2-1.
NATIONALLY RANKED: Winde Janssens and Carla Manzi Tenorio (3-1 in spring play, 7-1 overall) are currently the No. 55 nationally ranked doubles team. The CU pair have been ranked as high as No. 21 this semester. They are the first CU pair to be ranked since the final 2010 spring rankings when Melisa Esposito/Cami Belassi finished No. 67 (out of 90), in addition to Ania Anuszkiewicz/Monica Milewski at No. 85.
THREE SET RALLY: Winde Janssens and Kristina Schleich each have six wins in their respective two years in three set matches. Schleich is 3-1 this year with Janssens recording two. Both women also have four career wins apiece when rallying from a set down to win.
TENNIS CAMPS: Summer camp registrations are open and ready to be accepted! This year's lineup includes the regular adult, junior and tot offerings along with a NEW addition - Family Camp! This camp allows for a fun family activity together where Mum & Dad can bring the children out to the courts and learn things that they can do to continue their kids hand eye coordination while experiencing the Sport of a Lifetime! Check it out at www.CUBuffs.com (Click on the CAMPS tab to the right of the toolbar and then scroll down to Tennis. If you would like to receive a hard copy of the camp brochure please let the tennis office know and they will email you a copy).
CU vs. DU: CU leads the all-time series, 28-7, however the Pioneers are 5-3 against the Buffs since 2004, and three of the last four since 2008. DU defeated CU, 4-3 last year at home, while CU is 19-3 in Boulder.
Northern Colorado is off to a slow start to the 2012 season, with just one win in its first five matches (1-4).
The Bears and the Buffs have faced each other just two times since 2008. The teams met in Feb. 2008 and then again in March 2010. Both were 7-0 wins for Colorado in Boulder.
Northern Colorado's roster has a definite "foreign" feel, with four of its seven players citing hometowns outside of the United States.
Stephanie Catlin, Chrissie Hoolahan and Jennifer Whateley all hail from England. Elizabeth Tapia calls Panama City, Panama, home.
Northern Colorado head coach Brenda Vlasak is just the Bears' second head coach in program history. She was hired in 2005 after spending two seasons as a Northern Colorado assistant.
Vlasak was inducted into the Colorado Tennis Hall of Fame on Jan. 28, 2011.
Both teams have squared off against Colorado State and each easily won their match. Denver beat the Rams January 28th at home 5-2, and CU took down CSU February 11th, 6-1.
DU did not graduate a single player from the 2010-2011 season; the Pioneers went 9-14 last year. Denver returns zero seniors, four juniors and four sophomores for the 2011-2012 team.
The Pioneers have six players with 10-or-more overall wins this season. Caroline Schnell, Madeleine Saari-Byström, Steffi Rath, Elena Najera, Emma Isberg and Sophia Bergner. (Bergner is also 7-2 in #1 singles matches this year.) Winde Janssens and Kristina Schleich are the only two Colorado players have 10-or-more wins.

The annual influx of kittens into shelters and rescues nationwide is only a couple of months away, but one organization in Upstate South Carolina is working hard to reduce the number of unwanted kittens born this spring.
According to the Oconee County SC Humane Society Facebook page, cat owners living in an area bounded by Wells Highway and Highway 123 have been offered a "Sweetheart Deal": spay and neuter surgeries for cats will be free during the month of February 2014.
The Oconee Humane Society Facebook page reminds people that outdoor cats frequently get pregnant in February. They encourage residents to bring in their cats, especially outdoor catsm and take advantage of this offer.
The free spays and neuters do not require low income qualification. Proof of address is all that is required, and that can be met with a lease agreement, utility bill, or property tax bill.
Other low cost spay/neuter programs are available for dogs, and for cats who live outside of the defined area.
The Oconee County Animal Shelter is located at 1925 Sandifer Blvd in Seneca, SC, and spay/neuter vouchers can be picked up from the Humane Society Monday through Friday 10am-5pm and Saturday 10am – 2pm.

Copperhead Movie Reviews
User reviews on Copperhead
This is a film based on a novel by Harold Frederic about the Civil War. I have read the novel and I absolutely loved it, however I did not like this film at all and I do not recommend seeing it in the theaters. The film lacked a clear central plot and the music was pretty pathetic as well. I feel that the execution was very poor and this film could have been so much better. I did think that the acting was pretty impressive in this movie I just wish everything else was better and the film was faster because it was way too slow.

- Company: Ermenegildo Zegna
- Price: $1,745
- Official Site: Zegna.com
- Release Date: 2008
Woven of cashmere and silk, this single-breasted blue blazer from Ermenegildo Zegna features the standard notch lapel with a two-button closure on the front with two patch pockets on the side and side vents. The shoulders are neither heavily padded nor too soft and slouchy, which gives this particular blazer a subtle timelessness. The shape through the middle of the jacket has a slight inward contour toward your hip before flaring just over your waist and does not need to be tailored unless you are sure you want a sharp rib cage hugging line.
What this blazer does not feature is what it is really important: The lack of the a center vent and use of side vents make the blazer much more continental and international. The lack of brass buttons also makes it unique. Instead, Zegna has placed matching dress buttons on the sleeve. The fabrics (cashmere and silk) are from Italy and the jacket itself has been constructed in Switzerland, which provides an extra touch of expert tailoring. While this is a blue blazer it is definitely not your typical tropical wool, brass-buttoned jacket. You'll have multiple pairing options with this particular cut and style from Zegna while retaining the classic look of the blue blazer.
As for style it doesn't get any better than a well-made blue blazer to get you through the years. It simply is one of the most versatile garments for a man. Remember, however, that cashmere can be a warm fabric and, in this case, Zegna has blended it with silk for an extra soft look and feel. You will not be cleaning this one yourself and don't even think of pressing it yourself. This is a dry-clean-only garment and, if you're in a pinch, you can hang it on a wood hanger near the shower and steam it if necessary. The true durability factor is in the style and construction of a Zegna jacket. The side vents and matching blue buttons mean this jacket can also be paired with tailored dress trousers for a suit-like look that takes you well beyond the staid and stale sack blazer and khaki combination that has become the scourge of casual Friday.

2014 marks a significant time to review hip-hop history. Not only does it mark the 20-year collaborative anniversary of the southern duo Outkast and the Queens rapper Nas debut album Illmatic, but it also represents some of the best West Coast songs that still rings a bell 20 years later. The top three LA hip-hop singles of 1994 are: "Regulate" by Warren G ft. Nate Dogg, "Back in the Day" by Ahmad Lewis, and "How Long Will They Mourn Me" by Thug Life ft. Nate Dogg.
Produced by Warren G with the 1982 sample of Michael McDonald's, "I Keep Forgettin'," Regulate tells of a rendezvous tale between Warren G and Nate Dogg. Plan to meet up, hang out, and pick up honeys, the night soon turns into a twist neither expects. Set in Long Beach, California, Warren G goes to seek girls for fun; and while in a G-funk mood, he unexpectedly comes to a dice game and gets jacked for his belongings. Thinking of his unfortunate circumstances, he wildly wonders about his fate.
Meanwhile, Nate Dogg is searching for Warren G but then notice some women eyeing his way. Not one to get distracted, he soon finds Warren G, but in a bind. Nate Dogg becomes the hero when he saves Warren G from tragedy. Transforming from gangsta mindset to gangsta groove, Nate Dogg stashes his gun and prepares for a night of excitement and girls with his homie Warren G.
"Back in the Day" relives a time period in Ahmad's life when he is carefree and boyish. He remembers when he was 10 years old, a moment of newfound enjoyment for girls and wanting to be like his older brother. In South Central, LA, style is everything.
As he grows older, Ahmad reflects on the popular clothing and shoe apparel. He references hip-hop culture and its influence on his young environment. Fast-forward to the present and now 18 year old Ahmad wishes for simpler times. He is "all grown up" and with responsibilities. Although his childhood dream comes true, he still reminisces on his childhood reality.
Sadly, the last song on this list is still much of a reality. "How Long Will They Mourn Me" is a tribute written by 2Pac in memory of his friend Kato. The song features Thug Life who raps with sadness and emotional cadences about losing a comrade while Nate Dogg serenades with regretful wishes and rhetoric questions. A harsh and violent reflection, the song brings to forefront Black-on-Black crime and its nihilistic cycle.

Like the Droid Incredible, the Motorola Droid X has been backordered to arrive in August
It seems that demand for the Motorola Droid X is way higher than Verizon and Moto have anticipated. And, although there have not been major stock issues at launch, the smartphone has been backordered online, with Verizon now saying it will ship it by August 3.
That's the exact date when the HTC Droid Incredible should be shipped, too. So if you want a high-end Droid at the moment, you'll have to be happy with the original Moto Droid, which is still available (for $149.99 on contract).
Of course, some Verizon retail stores may still have Droid X units, and new shippents could arrive at any time, so checking out nearby stores is not at all a bad idea if you want the new Droid so badly.
Or you could wait for August 23 to come – when the Motorola Droid 2 will probably be launched.
