A New E-Book:
Stories of the Earth:
8 Seasonal Tales for the Wheel of the Year
No matter how old we are, a good story enchants us. And when that story teaches us a bit of wisdom about the Earth's natural laws, as well as the laws of our own inner rhythms and cycles, how can we resist?
Stories of the Earth: 8 Tales of the Wheel of the Year tells the story of each of the 8 spokes of the Wheel of the Year.
Stories of the Earth is a book of tales depicting the essence of the Wheel of the Year, the annual cycle of the Earth's seasons. It consists of eight festivals, spaced at approximately 6-week intervals throughout the year. These festivals are markers of seasonal change as well as psychological growth.
We begin the Wheel of the Year at the Winter Solstice in late December. The first story is a Winter Solstice tale, about a land living in darkness until a brave and bold mother sets out to bring back the Baby of Light
The second story takes place six weeks later on February 2, the festival we know as Candlemas, our very own Groundhog's Day. This tale is about the gate of vision. The Old Crone leads the way to access our new vision for a new year.
The next story comes in late March at the beginning of Aries, and tells a Spring Equinox tale of a long sorrow and the unexpected joy of an awakening inner vision.
Beltane comes in the beginning of May, opening the way for the powerful Earth spirits to come through the veils, awakening Mother Nature as well as our instinctual nature.
There are four remaining tales – Summer Solstice (June 21); Lammas (August 1); Autumn Equinox (September 21) and Samhain/All Hallows Eve (October 31)
I hope you use these stories as part of your rituals, as well as using them to meditate on the symbolic meaning of the season.

Here's what people are saying about Stories of the Earth:
"I led a men's group during Lammas and read them the Lammas story. The men were wowed by it. And I was surprised and pleased that they liked it so much."
Elana Gibeault, Illustrator & Ritualist
"We went to hear Christmas stories at our church and when Cathy told her Winter Solstice story we loved it. It felt ancient and powerful. We were blown away when we found out she had written it." Sam & Jane Wentworth
A sneak preview: Spring Equinox: Life Returning
Illustrations by Elana Gibeault
Once upon a time, when there was still a bit of mystery and magic left in the world, a woman mourned. She was lost in a great darkness of spirit, inconsolable in her grief. Something horrible had happened to her, something that had ripped away her desire for life. In great despair, she wandered the earth, sorrowing so deeply and so long that eventually she lost sight of that thing which had wounded her. With time, it had been buried away so deeply within that she no longer remembered what was causing so much pain.

Final Stats | Swimming World Race-by-Race Video
TEMPE, Ariz.--The Arizona State swimming and diving team opened the season with a dominating performance against UNLV, Saturday, at the Mona Plummer Aquatic Center in Tempe, Ariz. ASU won with a combined team score of 313-278.
In her first meet of the season, back-to-back Pac-10 Champion Rebecca Ejdervik swam an NCAA B cut time in 100 Breast, touching in with a time of 1:02.38. The senior started out the meet with a victory as part of the ASU 200 Medley relay. Ejdervik, Kelli Kyle, Caroline Kuczynski, and Shannon Landgrebe took home the victory in the first event for ASU, recording a time of 1:42.20.
Landgrebe also took home a pair of wins, individually, with first-place finishes in the 200 Free and the 50 Free. The junior touched in with a time of 1:50.22 in the 200 Free, just a couple seconds short of the NCAA B time.
Junior Mattie Kukors earned her first victory as a Sun Devil, finishing with the top time in the 500 Free. Kukors swam the event with a time of 4:58.76.
In diving, the Sun Devils swept the 1-meter and 3-meter events. Senior Elina Eggers to the top spot in each of the women's events, earning a score of 303.83 in the 3-meter and a score of 299.78 in the 1-meter. Eggers' scores, in the first meet of the season, qualified her to compete in the NCAA Zone E Championships.
Senior Constantin Blaha took first place in both men's events. The Sun Devil men dove against themselves because UNLV does not field a men's diving team. Blaha earned a score of 413.63 in the 3-meter and a score of 303.83 in the 1-meter. Blaha's scores also qualified him to compete in the NCAA Zone E Championships.
On the men's side, David Adalsteinsson took the top spot in the men's 200 Backstroke, finishing with a time of 1:52.75. Sophomore Hayden Thomas excelled in the distance freestyle events for the Sun Devils. Thomas took home first place in the 500 Free with a time of 4:40.00.
Next up, the Sun Devils host Big Ten opponent Wisconsin on Saturday, Nov. 5 at Noon, MT.

RATIONALE: Nicotinergic agents are currently examined as possible pro-cognitive drugs for a variety of clinical conditions marked by cognitive deficits, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or schizophrenia. The response to acute nicotine is heterogeneous across subjects and samples; however, only a few reliable predictors of response have been identified.
OBJECTIVES: We tested the hypothesis that baseline performance level in cognitive control may be a predictor of the cognitive effects of nicotine.
METHODS: We tested 28 healthy Caucasian, male, non-smoking volunteers with the antisaccade task, an oculomotor measure of cognitive control. Participants were given a 7-mg nicotine patch in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, counterbalanced, within-subjects design. Subjects were stratified into high and low performers based on their antisaccade error rate in the placebo condition (median split).
RESULTS: Nicotine tended to reduce response time variability of prosaccade latency (p = 0.06). There was no main effect of nicotine on antisaccade error rate (p = 0.31). However, nicotine significantly reduced antisaccade error rate in the low-accuracy probands while leaving performance of the high-accuracy probands unaffected (interaction, p < 0.05). Furthermore, we found a nicotine-induced reduction of response time variability of antisaccade latency at one target location in the low-performing group (interaction, p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: The present results demonstrate the importance of baseline performance differences for the effectiveness of pharmacological enhancement of cognitive control. More generally, the results suggest that stimulation of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor system might be an effective way of improving cognition in people with poor cognitive performance, such as patients with ADHD or schizophrenia.

When Robert Woods, Kyle Prater, Dillon Baxter and USC's other talented freshmen make their mark during the 2010 season, they'll have identifiable footprints to follow.
USC has always been a place where freshmen don't necessarily have to wait in line if they're good enough, and it happened far before Pete Carroll got there.
Here's a look at some impact freshmen at USC through the years.

Elyse Mallouk, "Always On My Mind," 2010 (photo by Alex Greenburg)
Finding a balance between two passions can be challenging, but Elyse Mallouk (MFA 2010, MA in Visual and Critical Studies 2010) built her dual loves into her CCA education. Midway through her first year as an MFA student, she decided to enroll in the dual-degree program with Visual and Critical Studies. Having previously thought of herself as an artist with an interest in writing, she began developing a deeper balance between writing and art.
Sounds simple in theory, maybe, but in practice it was not without its challenges.
"In the short term, the required readings for Visual and Critical Studies made it difficult for me to find time to make art," she recalls. "The second year of the three-year program was particularly challenging. I was being introduced to a huge amount of critical theory while trying to produce a cohesive body of artwork for the MFA show. The readings complicated the way I was thinking about what I was making."
She explored some of this confusion and challenge through her VCS thesis, which questioned the lines being drawn by influential texts and institutions around social engagement in art. "My thesis argued that social engagement cannot be reduced to a set of inherent characteristics possessed by artworks. It is not a category for sorting them, but a set of circumstances and relationships that cannot be assessed without considering a project's public. I used the aesthetic philosophies of Immanuel Kant and Jacques Ranciere to present the idea that artworks are proposals and opportunities for aesthetic experiences, which are always both subjective and social. It aimed to disrupt the expectation that social engagement in art looks and involves a public in a certain way, and sought to open up the discourse to include a broader range of practices.
"At a CCA grad lecture I attended, the poet Eileen Myles said that art is the possibility of connection. For my most recent show at Triple Base Gallery I took this statement as a working premise, and examined some of the still-unresolved questions brought up by my thesis work: What constitutes invitation in art? What does it look like for an artwork, a song, or a text to really consider a public? The project was called Notes for an Open Score. It took pop love songs and romance novels -- ubiquitous ways of expressing connection -- and reduced them to their most basic elements: words, rhythm, tempo, intonation. I was investigating these two popular forms by making them more difficult -- translating melodies into puzzles that had to be decoded.
"The disciplines of writing and art require different kinds of attention and thought, but they're both ways of working with and through ideas. Jens Hoffmann's recent exhibitions at the CCA Wattis Institute (Huckleberry Finn, Moby-Dick, and The Wizard of Oz) employed this concept pragmatically, grappling with seminal American literature by inviting artists to produce work in conversation with the novels. These exhibitions proposed that writing and art making are already bound up together: both are engaged in the production of histories and counter-histories. The exhibition becomes a third narrative that pulls at the connective threads between the novel, historical artifacts, films, and contemporary artworks. Reading, viewing, and making are shown to be aspects of the same activity.
"For the Huckleberry Finn catalog, I wrote and edited some short statements about the artists and the works. At the same time, I was developing Notes for an Open Score, a show for Triple Base Gallery in San Francisco, and the structure of Huckleberry Finn shaped the way I was thinking about my own work. I used a color-coding system to put the pieces in conversation with each other. Tom Comitta (MFA Writing 2011) and Joyce Grimm (codirector of Triple Base and CCA Curatorial Practice alumna) curated 'Sunday is for Lovers,' a programming series that included live music, poetry readings, and karaoke. These events were really exciting. When they occupied the gallery space they became a part of the exhibition, creating new entry points and changing the way the exhibition read."
Since she graduated last year, Mallouk has been taking on projects that tread the line between material and written investigations: writing projects that are artworks, and artworks that are heavily text-driven. She is currently working on a three-part project called Landfill with CCA Fine Arts chair Ted Purves. This project aims to generate a nonlinear history of contemporary socially engaged projects through an archive, a journal, and a subscription service.
"There are no predefined standards for what the materials might be, what the projects themselves look like, or what kind of participation they solicit, if any. Many of these projects navigate a space between object and event-based practice, and some are largely dematerialized, but they all produce leftovers: promotional materials, postcards, invitations, props, posters, and writings. Our method is to take these byproducts, use them as tools for discussing the projects they came from, and then redistribute them.
"A searchable online archive that includes scanned images of the materials and short descriptions of the projects for which they were originally made is slated to launch mid-February. The first issue of Landfill Quarterly will be sent to subscribers shortly thereafter, and will contain selected material ephemera and a printed journal contextualizing the objects inside. We're in the process of putting together our first issue, and are accepting submissions of leftover materials to be archived, written about, and redistributed at www.thelandfill.org."
In conjunction with this project, Mallouk is writing a four-part feature series for Art Practical. The first feature, "Issue Zero" is available now. The second will be published on February 10, 2011.

This particular work has been an on going project since he started to create pictures back in 1989.
The work evolved out of the need to take with him those beloved memories from his trips to his home town in Arandas Jalisco, Mexico.
Arandas, Jalisco, where Antonio is from, is located in the central part of Mexico. The state of Jalisco is rich in tradition and it is best know for its production of tequila, its charros (Mexican cowboys), and its warm people.

How exactly did home prices skyrocket by 14% last year? Inquiring minds want to know how you can have a healthy housing recovery with rising home prices when mortgage originations are 74% below 2012 levels at the largest mortgage lender on the planet. Somebody ask Lyin Larry Yun from the National Association of Realtoors or Steve Liesman at CNBC. I'm sure they have a truthful answer backed up by facts.

Reported May 2011
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Ivanhoe Newswire) --With just an Internet connection, online poker players can play whenever they want. The Internet is partly responsible for a huge increase in the number of poker players worldwide. But not everyone is winning, and most players are losing. Here are a few secrets behind online poker.
In poker, there can be big winners, and big losers. You dont have to travel to Vegas to find a poker table. Thanks to the Internet, online poker is more popular than ever. Erik Bjarnar plays online every day.
Im trying to improve, not always having the best success at that, Erik Bjarnar, Online poker player, told Ivanhoe.
Being successful at poker is rare. And novice players beware. Sociologist, Kyle Siler at Cornell University says beginners luck may not be lucky at all.
People often dont make the best decisions for a variety of psychological and social reasons, which hurts their poker game, Kyle Siler, Sociologist, Graduate Student, Cornell University in Ithaca, NY told Ivanhoe.
Kyle studied over 27 million online poker hands, and found that the more hands players win, the less money theyre likely to collect.
Small frequent wins which build them up and kind of mask the fact that that strategy makes them very vulnerable to a huge loss, Siler explained. Winning a few small hands entices individuals to keep playing. The more people play the more likely players will get hit by occasionally big, but significant losses. Players feel good about a winning streak, but dont seem to fully understand how their large losses are offsetting their small wins.
Humans inherently dont always necessarily scale very well, they might view the difference between winning $20.00 and losing $20.00 as a big deal you know, you get to leave the table as a winner, Siler added.
If you want to win more in poker, experts say play fewer, stronger hands, more aggressively.
When I win I feel very ebullient, I feel very kind of triumphant, Bjarnar concluded.
The most important thing to keep in mind? Know when to hold em and know when to fold em. The top online poker winner in the last year has won more than 1.6 million dollars.

Hank Paulson Is Too Busy to Address Rumors That Threaten His Reputation and the Reputation of His Former Company
The former Treasury secretary's got a book to write, okay?
When Hank Paulson's spokeswoman said he couldn't comment on the Times' big "conflict of interest" story on him yesterday because the publisher of his upcoming memoirs had "barred" him from recalling anything prepublication, we wondered who in the mousy publishing industry would have the brass ones to hold back the former Treasury secretary and Goldman Sachs CEO from defending his good name. The Journal's Katherine Rosman actually asked his publisher, Business Plus, about it, and surprise! There was no such agreement.
"Hank was an All-American football player at Dartmouth," said Business Plus publisher and editor in chief Rick Wolff. "I don't think it's wise for my health to try to bar him from doing anything."
But, if you must know the truth, the publisher went on, Paulson was just too busy and important to talk to such a piddling news organization as the Times. "Hank is in process of writing his book and quite frankly, he is on deadline," Wolff said. "He is too busy to go and sit for interviews." And, Lord knows, if the man responded to every legitimate query about Goldman Sachs conspiracies and his core involvement in the multi-billion-dollar bailout of the financial sector that crossed his desk, he'd never get anything done.

How can I avoid getting HPV?
You can reduce your chances of getting HPV by having sex only with a partner who has sex only with you and does not have any obvious warts. (Of course, your partner may not know if he or she has HPV and may be contagious without having symptoms.)
The more sex partners you or your partner has, the more likely you are to contract the virus. And even if you already have (or have had) HPV, being infected with one strain of the virus doesn't protect you from other strains.
Using latex condoms correctly and consistently also greatly reduces the risk of contracting HPV and many other STIs. One recent study found that women whose partners used condoms every time they had sex were 70 percent less likely to become infected with HPV than those who didn't.
(Condoms don't provide total protection because even though HPV can't penetrate latex, the virus may be present in areas that aren't covered by the condom, and a condom can slip or break.)
After you give birth, you may be able to get vaccinated against some types of HPV. Both vaccines on the market – Gardasil and Cervarix – protect women against two high-risk strains of HPV that account for about 70 percent of cervical cancers. Gardasil also provides protection against two additional strains of HPV, helping to prevent about 90 percent of genital warts as well as anal, vulvar and vaginal cancers.
The vaccine has been approved for females and males from 9 to 26 years of age. Even if you do get vaccinated, using condoms will help protect you from the HPV strains not covered by the vaccine.

A bone-chilling cold wave with temperatures as low as 42 below zero shut down schools for thousands of youngsters Monday, sent homeless people into shelters and put car batteries on the disabled list from the northern Plains across the Great Lakes. At least four deaths were linked to the cold weather.
The cold was accompanied by snow that was measured in feet in parts of upstate New York.
"Anybody in their right mind wouldn't want to be out in weather like this," Lawrence Wiley, 57, said at Cincinnati's crowded Drop Inn Center homeless shelter, where he has been living. Monday lows were in the single digits.
With temperatures near zero and a wind chill of 25 below, school districts across Ohio canceled classes.
With a temperature of 12 below zero and wind chill of 31 below, Wisconsin's largest school district, Milwaukee Public Schools, also shut down, idling some 90,000 children. In upstate New York, 34,000 kids got the day off in Rochester because of temperatures near zero. Schools also closed in parts of Michigan and Illinois. A few schools closed even in Minnesota, where February cold is the norm and people are accustomed to coping.
Temperatures dropped below zero in Minnesota on Saturday morning and were expected to remain there until sometime today, the weather service said. Subzero temperatures blanketed the Minneapolis-St. Paul area for 63 straight hours -- the longest stretch since 2004 -- ending Monday afternoon.
Temperatures in Grand Forks, N.D., dipped to 31 below zero early Monday at the airport, 3 degrees lower than the records set in 1982 and 1967, the National Weather Service said.
Amtrak shut down passenger service in parts of western and northern New York state, where the cold was accompanied by as much as 2 feet of snow fed by moisture from the Great Lakes near Buffalo and Watertown. Whiteout conditions and slippery pavement shut down a 38-mile stretch of the New York Thruway during the night.
At least 30 water main breaks were blamed on the cold in Detroit, city officials said.
The cold also brought calls for help from car owners faced with dead batteries and frozen locks.
"During the weekend, 10,000 motorists called for assistance. And that's a record in recent years," Nancy Cain, spokeswoman for AAA Michigan, said Monday.

|Soldiers & Sailors Civil Relief Act (SSCRA)
|Chapter 4, Rents, Morgages and Foreclosures (Page 3)
Mortgage Foreclosures
Section 302
(50 U.S.C. App. § 532)
General. This section contains language similar to section 301 and attempts to accomplish similar results. Section 302, however, is specifically designed to protect service members against foreclosure of mortgages and other security instruments. The essential difference between these two sections is that section 302 requires a secured obligation, whereas section 301 does not require a security interest in the property. Section 302 requires the secured creditor to seek a court order authorizing foreclosure.
Application. Relief under section 302 is available to service members and, pursuant to section 306 (50 U.S.C. App. § 536), to their dependents. Subsection (1) clearly defines the obligations to which section 302 applies. In order to come within the provisions of this section, the service member (or dependent) must establish the following:
Action in court. Subsection (3) of section 302 prohibits the foreclosure and sale of mortgaged property in the absence of an agreement executed subsequent to the service member's receipt of notice of induction, or in the absence of a court order, regardless of any contractual provisions. A foreclosure in violation of subsection (3) may render the action voidable, and might also subject the mortgagee or trustee to criminal prosecution.
The requirement for a court order prior to foreclosure and sale of mortgaged property is contained in the clause, "unless upon an order previously granted by the court. . . ." Two courts construing this clause have differed as to exactly when the order must have been previously granted. A New Jersey court held that the order must have been granted prior to the service member's entry on active duty. A New York court, however, held that this clause means that the order must have been granted prior to foreclosure and not prior to the service member's entry on active duty. The New York rule appears to be the correct rule, in view of the language of section 302(2): "In any proceedings commenced in any court during the period of military service to enforce such obligation arising out of nonpayment of any sum thereunder due or out of any other breach of the terms thereof occurring prior to or during the period of such service. . . ." The New Jersey rule could not reasonably be applied to a breach which occurred after the mortgagor's entry upon active duty. In a Texas case, the 5th Circuit held that a sale at a bank-organized auction of mortgaged property by an agent of the service member was not within the confines of this section absent evidence that the agent of the service person was also the agent of the bank.
Nature of ownership. The Act requires the service member (or his/her dependent) to have "owned" the mortgaged property prior to his/her entry upon active duty, continuing up to the time relief is sought from the court. Several questions relating to the nature of the ownership required to bring an obligation within the Act's coverage have been litigated.
Generally, the courts have interpreted the word "owned" to mean equitable and legal interests in property. This was the usage given under the Act of 1918 and the same meaning has been applied to the present Act. While the weight of authority supports this proposition, difficulties arise when innocent third parties who are purchasers for value without notice are involved. In these instances, the courts avoid exercising their equitable powers in favor of the service member by stating that "equitable" title must be recorded.
Material effect. A mortgagee bringing a foreclosure action will provide the court with proof of the existence and the extent of the mortgage debt upon which suit is instituted and the date of default in payment. If favorable to him/her the mortgagee will often present the mortgagor's pre-service payment record. This is done when the record demonstrates pre-service default or a continuous pattern of tardy payments.
Having determined that the service member "owned" the property as required by section 302(1), the trial court must then form an opinion on the ability of the service member to meet his/her financial obligations. That is, the court must determine whether military service has materially affected the service member's ability to discharge his/her pre-service responsibilities in the manner agreed upon. As one court has stated, "[t]he criteria, then, is a combination of two factors, i.e., (1) whether the defendant's inability to comply results by reason of such military service, and (2) that such military service has materially affected the ability to comply."
To secure relief under section 302, the service member should provide the court with sufficient financial information on the material effect of military service. Two pieces of financial information are always essential: pre-service income and in-service income. Pre-service income, out of which the agreed mortgage payments were previously paid on time, is considered as a standard. In-service income must not only be smaller, but it must be insufficient to reasonably maintain the service member before a court will grant relief. Proof of in-service income should include showing the amount of (1) military pay and allowances, (2) allotments to dependents, and (3) any other nonmilitary income, even if earned by dependents. In-service income should be treated as a net amount, because proof of any additional expense caused by military service is proper. When material effect is found, the courts exercise their discretion in fashioning appropriate relief.
Nature of relief. In a mortgage foreclosure proceeding, the Act generally provides the service member with three types of relief, which, under proper circumstances, are as follows:
The extent of the mortgagor's financial disability resulting from military service heavily influences a court's decision on the measure of relief to be granted. Courts attempt to make equitable disposition of individual cases on their particular facts, in an effort "to conserve the interests of all parties." This effort frequently results in granting the mortgagor, in appropriate cases, some form of conditional relief.
Conditional relief usually constitutes a stay of the foreclosure proceedings on condition that the mortgagor makes some partial periodic payment on the outstanding mortgage debt. In its discretion, the court determines to which of the incidents of the debt the payment will be applied. Although section 302 prescribes no priority of application, a pattern has emerged from the cases. Usually, payments are applied in the following order: current and accrued taxes; hazard insurance; interest on the debt; and principal. Arrearages and FHA mortgage insurance premiums have been inserted in the priority scale in various fashions. So also have the application of sums from casualty insurance recoveries, amounts held in escrow by the mortgagee, and property surpluses. Sometimes, when a court has granted a stay and ordered partial payments, the court has also required the service member to make periodic sworn statements of his/her financial condition either to the court or to the mortgagee. Conditional stay orders occasionally grant a mortgagee the right to apply for an amended stay order if the mortgagor's ability to discharge his/her debt becomes less impaired. Such an amendment is within the court's power as a matter within its equitable powers and its continuing jurisdiction over the case.

Both Kansas (1-10, 0-8 Big 12) and West Virginia (6-5, 3-5 Big 12) enter Saturday's 2:30 p.m. regular season finale with a lot riding upon the outcome of the two team's first meeting since WVU delivered a 21-0 beating to the Jayhawks during a 1941 meeting at Mountaineer Field.
Kansas, and first-year head coach Charlie Weis, will be looking to avoid a second straight winless campaign in the Big 12 while the Mountaineers look to improve to 7-5 overall and improve its stock in the upcoming bowl season.
"That is the nature of the conference we are in," said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. "Last year, we played three or four teams in this situation. Now, we don't get to play any.

When Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) launched its Haswell processor last year, it delivered a fantastic product for low-power notebooks and detachable designs. However, when it came to the hard-core gaming community, the i7-4770K (a quad-core, desktop-oriented implementation of Haswell) failed to excite. It was faster than its predecessor, the i7-3770K, but not enough to get on gamers' "must have" lists. With Intel's recent release of the i7-4790K -- code-named Devil's Canyon -- the company could finally be giving gamers what they're looking for.
Intel is pretty much the only choice for performance-oriented gamers
Over the last several years, Intel has continued to pull ahead of longtime rival Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD). After Intel launched the Core 2 Duo back in 2006, each year AMD tried to catch up, but time and again Intel seemed to just keep pulling ahead. Today, if you are a gaming enthusiast and you want the most performance possible, odds are you're going with an Intel Core processor.
This has been good for Intel and its investors, but since the launch of the company's legendary Sandy Bridge processor in 2011, Intel just hasn't given much to the PC enthusiasts who typically buy chips in the $200-$300 range. Sure, its chips best anything that AMD has to offer in terms of CPU performance and power consumption, but the performance gains since Sandy Bridge have been relatively modest as the company has targeted its energies at thin and light notebooks and tablets.
Sandy Bridge was hard to beat
The i7-2600K offered four Sandy Bridge cores which could all simultaneously run at 3.4 GHz ("GHz" is a measure of the chip's clock speed). Its successor, the i7-3770K based on the Ivy Bridge architecture, brought about a 5% improvement in performance per clock but bumped the clock speed to a meager 3.5 GHz across all four cores. This meant that at the shipping speeds, buyers were seeing just over a 5% improvement in performance on average.
Then, following the 3770K, came the Haswell-based 4770K. Haswell was a sizable improvement from Ivy Bridge on a per-clock basis -- on average about 10% faster -- but Intel didn't even bother to improve the shipping clock speeds of this part. This in itself was a problem, as it's hard to convince many to spend over $500 ($330 for the CPU, $170 for a new supporting motherboard) to upgrade for a mere 10% performance improvement, but of course was the only way to go for new buyers coming off of much older setups.
Devil's Canyon to the rescue?
Devil's Canyon apparently fixes a lot of the issues that enthusiasts had with the 4770K. Right out of the factory, it comes clocked at 4 GHz for all four cores. This means that, at factory specification, it is about 15% faster than last year's 4770K. After generations of modest increases, gamers clinging on to their Sandy Bridge systems from 2011 may see the roughly 36% performance increase at factory settings as a reason to upgrade.
However, the really interesting thing here -- and what many enthusiasts care about -- is that the 4790K sports higher quality "packaging" that should allow customers to "overclock" (that is, run the chips at higher GHz values) more easily. Sandy Bridge was legendary for being able to run at 4.6 GHz to 4.8 GHz (up from 3.4 GHz), while Ivy Bridge and Haswell were actually a step back, usually topping out at 4.4 GHz to 4.5 GHz. The hope here is that the new Devil's Canyon parts with the improved packaging should allow for more robust overclocking, enticing even more PC hardware enthusiasts.
Foolish takeaway
Even without a strong AMD to compete with in this space, Intel still has the challenge of trying to get customers interested in quickening their product upgrade cycles. With Devil's Canyon, Intel is bringing a very strong performance improvement out of the box relative to last year's products and a very hefty increase over the 2011 and 2012 flagships. While it's still too early to tell, Intel may be long-term committed to bringing significant improvements each generation to PC enthusiasts. That not only helps keep its lead over AMD, but to sell high margin/high ASP products at a faster pace than before.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

If you've ever enjoyed the Orlando nightlife scene you may recognize the familiar face of singer Sisaundra Lewis on national TV. During her career in central Florida she graced the stages of hot spots House of Blues, City Jazz, Cirque du Soleil, and Disney's West End and Jazz Company. But now our own homegrown star Sisaundra is blowing away judges on the hit NBC reality show "The Voice". Her voice with it's amazing range and power has even received the honor of it's own catch phrase "one in a trillion". Last week Sisaundra agreed to give this reporter/fan an exclusive interview, here's what she had to say.
Have you ever tried out for any other reality shows like American Idol, or America's Got Talent?
"No, I have never tried out" for those shows said Sisaundra. Her decision to audition for "The Voice" was encouraged by her daughter .
"My daughter encouraged me to take my dream off the back burner and audition for The Voice." says Sisaundra.
Auditions for all these shows on TV look very stressful, how was our experience during the audition process on The Voice? "It was extremely exciting and also nerve wracking waiting to find out if I was good enough to make the cut" says Sisaundra.
Song choices seem to often make or break contestants chances to go through to the next round. How did you choose your first audition song? "I submitted a few songs that I loved and was so thrilled to perform my top preference, 'Ain't No Way'."
Like fellow contestants Sisaundra was able to chose which team she would like to be in. She had the choice of either Shakira, Adam Levine, Usher or team Blake Shelton. Country singer and judge Blake Shelton was the first judge to turn his chair to face/choose the amazing songstress so it was no surprise she decided to be on his team. Sisaundra seems very happy with her team leader choice and says "Blake is a constant professional but also fun, caring and respectful about who I see myself as in the art of music."
The singer was Celine Dion's vocal director/choreographer, and has worked with noted artists such as David Foster, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Puff Daddy, Peabo Bryson, Patti La Belle, Janet Jackson, and Gloria Estefan... just to name a few. Her voice can also be heard on various jingles during commercials for major companies such as Folgers, Sears and Dr Pepper, she was also the narrator for Oscar nominated documentary "Sustaining Life".
Although she's performed for years live on stage in front of thousands she admits being on television is different yet familiar. Is performing on television very different from other venues? "Yes & no" says Sisaundra adding "If you don't allow yourself to be overwhelmed with the magnitude of how many people are REALLY watching via television and keep it intimate with the audience you're performing to in the moment, it makes it much easier."
With all her experience does she ever suffer from stage fright? The singer admits that "YES" she does get stage fright. "I breathe and meditate" says Sisaundra who adds "I always have to center myself with prayer and the task at hand." She is grateful for the support of her hometown fans saying "I'd just like to say thanks from the bottom of my heart for the ongoing support over the years. It took me 26 years to get here. Stay encouraged about achieving dreams. It's never too late and you're never too old. I'm a living witness to that."
Sisaundra Lewis is truly in a "one in a trillion woman"! She's got what it takes to go to the top and stay there. Be sure to watch Sisaundra compete again this week Monday and Tuesday 8/7c on NBC's 'The Voice'. And check out her music available on iTunes .

Mr. Osman Cenan CIGIL | Purchase date: 18 January 2011
I bought it in order to play and record my electric guitar using my ASUS laptop.
I've used couple of interfaces from different brands but never used any product by Lexicon.
As it was quite cheap comparing to other brands' products,I immediately decided to buy it along with my Chapman ML1.
It comes with Cubase LE4, drivers and Lexicon Pantheon Reverb plugin.
I already had Nuendo and Reaper so I never needed to use Cubase LE4.
But as far as I know you won't be able to use the reverb plugin, if you don't install Cubase LE4.
It's pretty easy to learn how to use this interface.
It has couple of knobs to adjust the gain of the instrument or the microphone you plug in.You can also adjust the overall output of the card and the ration between monitored sound and the direct signal.
You have to install the drivers, it's not plug'n play device.
My aim was to play along with a couple of backingtracks while I was hearing my direct monitored guitar signal through a host software (Nuendo, Reaper...etc) or a stand-alone software (Guitar Rig, Amplitube...etc).
Having succesfully installed the drivers, I immediately started playing by using Guitar Rig 3.And I quite liked the preamp on the interface.It gave a pretty clean and flat signal which gave usable results.
But no matter how many time I tried, I couldn't have 2 audio applications run at the same time.
I tried disabling the on-board card, trying to adjust the inputs/outputs via the host software...etc but none of the methods worked for me.
So whenever I wanted to play something in the background while any of the host sofwares or the stand-alone softwares were running, I had to import those audio files into those software.
After having sent a couple of e-mails to Andertons, they made me aware of that limitation.Of course it wasn't their mistake! :)
Then I searched for a couple of USB interfaces as well, I ended up finding out that the audio interfaces in the same price league won't allow you to run two audio applications at the same time.
That means the first audio application run by the user gets the total control of the interface.
I also want to mention about the problem of the drivers.I had ASIO4all which I had used for a year with my tube preamp, and it gave great results including the 7ms latency!
But after I installed the Lexicon's drivers,I had 40 ms latency.I tried to adjust it and managed to have 11 ms but it pushed the limits of my laptop.
So I used it with ASIO4all,I highly recommend it.
As this interface did not work for me, Andertons let me exchange it with the other products on their website.
(Thanks for everything guys!You're great!)

College Hockey:North Dakota Sweeps St. Cloud State
Sioux Hold On To Second In WCHA
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Despite what statistics might imply, North Dakota's Fighting Sioux are anything but average.
"When you look at our goals for and our goals against, it's almost even," said UND coach Dean Blais. "It indicates that we should be a .500 team. And yet, our record is pretty amazing."
After completing a sweep of the St. Cloud State Huskies with a 5-4 victory Saturday at Ralph Engelstad Arena, UND improved to 14-1-1 overall and 8-1-1 in the WCHA. Half of the team's wins have been by one-goal margins.
After falling behind 2-0 in the first period on goals by SCSU wing Joe Motzko and defenseman T.J. McElroy, UND answered with goals by forwards Brandon Bochenski and Kevin Spiewak.
"Even when we've been down by one, two or three goals, it never comes across our mind that we're going to lose the game," said Sioux freshman center Zach Parise. "We have a lot of confidence right now."
Entering the second period tied 2-2, there was a profusion of penalties with eight whistled on the Huskies and six on the Sioux.
"There were six 5-on-3s or 4-on-3s," said SCSU coach Craig Dahl. After a long pause, he added, "In 23 years, I never saw that."
Each team came out of the period with a power-play goal. SCSU's was scored 4-on-3 at the 2:29 mark by Joe Cullen and UND's was at 17:45 by Bochenski, who netted his 16th goal of the year.
With the game knotted 3-3 at the start of the third period, the Sioux scored twice more on the power play to build a 5-3 lead. Parise gave UND the lead for good at 5:51 when defenseman Andy Schneider's shot from the blue line went wide and ricocheted off the boards back to him. He backhanded the puck into a wide-open net.
Huskies defenseman Colin Peters' tripping penalty at 6:12 proved costly to SCSU. With goalie Jake Moreland behind the goal to play the puck, Peters pulled Sioux forward Ryan Connelly's skates out from under him, sending him crashing into Moreland, who left the game with a knee injury.
Less than two minutes after freshman Jason Montgomery replaced Moreland, Sioux defenseman Nick Fuher lofted a wrist shot on goal from the top of the right faceoff circle that went in. With 12:02 left in the game, North Dakota had its third power-play goal of the night and a two-goal lead.
The Huskies, however, weren't done. At 11:19, SCSU freshman center Jonathan Lehun scored a power-play goal to make it a 5-4 game. With a minute left, the Huskies went back on the power play. Parise was called for illegal contact with Montgomery, who had come far out of the net to play a puck the Sioux center was chasing down.
Despite SCSU pulling the goalie in the game's final minute for a 6-on-4 advantage, UND held on for another one-goal win.
"That's the character on our team. No one panicked," said Sioux sophomore goalie Josh Siembida. "We regained our composure quickly. I've never been on a team like this. Everybody is so relaxed. They know what they have to do and they do it."
Despite being swept, Dahl said the Huskies made progress.
"What I saw this weekend was a major step forward for our team from what I've seen in previous weeks," he said. "Sometimes close isn't good enough to win, but it does a lot for you as far as giving your team an idea of how to play the game. And it gives you confidence that you can play with anybody."
After eight straight home games against WCHA opponents, Blais is pleased with UND's 7-0-1 record (9-0-1 overall at home).
"We took care of business through this home stand. That's pretty amazing, considering the teams that we beat we had trouble with last year," he said. "St. Cloud just whipped up on us down there last year and it was no contest. We got three out of four wins against them.
"There's no comparison between this year and last year," Blais added. "Last year, we had 10 freshmen. Now we have 10 sophomores. I think we have a different attitude and a better chemistry. There's better chemistry in the locker room. You can feel it when you go in there. It's just a different team with new characters."
Next weekend, the Sioux are at home for a nonconference series against Canisius. SCSU will play the Denver Pioneers at home.

Whalers Host Oshawa Tonight at 7:05 pmDec 08, 2012 - 06:54 EST
TONIGHT - Oshawa (16-11-1-2) at Plymouth (14-8-4-3), 7:05 pm, Compuware Arena.
BROADCAST - 88.1FM WSDP The Park at 6:45 pm. Video Streaming provided by the Schoolcraft College Sports Network.
Click here for tonight's media package as supplied by the Ontario Hockey League.
THE SERIES SO FAR: Plymouth won the only game played with Oshawa so far this season.
Oct. 21 – PLYMOUTH 4 (Payne 2, Rakell, Hartman) at OSHAWA 2 (Suellentrop, Sabourin).
LAST GAME: Plymouth lost, 3-2 in overtime, to Saginaw last night.. Oshawa lost, 3-2, to Sarnia last Sunday.
NEXT GAME: Plymouth plays in Sault Ste. Marie on Wednesday (6:45 pm, 88.1FM). Oshawa plays in Windsor on Sunday.
ALL-TIME: Plymouth holds a 24-15-4-1-1 edge over Oshawa in the all-time series dating back to 1990.
PLYMOUTH, OSHAWA PLAYOFF HISTORY: The Whalers and Oshawa have never met in the playoffs.
PALACE MEETING: In 1995-96, their Whalers played their homes games at the Palace of Auburn Hills and at Oak-Park Compuware Arena. The Whalers hammered Oshawa, 11-5, on Sept. 30, 1995 in their first-ever game at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
The next season, the Whalers moved to Plymouth and have played at Compuware Arena ever since.
FOUR WHALERS RECEIVE 2013 WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP INVITATIONS: Although Whalers Tom Wilson, Stefan Noesen, Ryan Hartman and Rickard Rakell are teammates in Plymouth, they may be playing against each other during the 2013 World Junior Championships in Ufa, Russia from Dec. 26-Jan. 5.
Wilson (Canada), Noesen and Hartman (United States) will try out for their teams, while Rakell (Sweden) is the only player who has made his country's team.
Rakell has played for Sweden for three straight years (2011-13). The only other Plymouth player in franchise history to play in three straight World Junior Championships is Michal Jordan, who played for the Czech Republic from 2008-10.
Chris Peters of The United States of Hockey Blog profiles Noesen and Hartman for Team USA:
Stefan Noesen – "Strength, speed and a knack for scoring make Noesen a likely top-six wing for Team USA. He has some burliness and some grit which aid his offense and make him tough to play against. With 16 goals in 24 games (through Wednesday), Noesen has had no trouble finishing. He also has enough versatility where he can play with just about anybody and do well. The U.S. typically builds a team with three lines with scoring pop and a defensively stout line. Noesen is behind Miller on the depth chart, but looks good to be a top-six guy with a lot of responsibility."
Ryan Hartman - "Hartman's versatility is one of his biggest strengths. He can be a guy that plays on the wing and creates offense and makes plays, but he also has a physical edge and plays bigger than his 6-foot frame. That versatility gives Hartman a big edge in his hopes of making Team USA. Even when he's not putting up points, he's doing something that impacts the game. He has good enough defensive awareness to get involved with a fourth-line role, but that skill still makes him a threat to produce. He might have a little competition with Barber, but even if it's as a 13th forward, there's a strong likelihood Hartman makes the final roster."

If you could peer behind the curtain of the Wizard of Oz, would you? Do you really want to know the secret behind the prestige? If the anonymous author of the works attributed to Shakespeare were truly Edward de Vere, would you really want to know?
Perhaps. But then again, think carefully. You think you want to, but what happens when the illusion shatters, and all one's known must be recalculated like an errant GPS?
Of course some of us scream, "Yes. Yes I must know!!" If you, like I, are amongst this lot, then you are in for a thrill of the first order.
"Tim's Vermeer" documents the intrepid quest of Tim Jenison of San Antonio, Texas. Inventor and longtime friend of Penn & Teller's Penn Jillette, Jenison found his fortune through several remarkable inventions, all having to do with optics, with visual display, with the ways in which the eye processes what it sees, and with the ways in which to feed imagery into to that process.
And in his off time, Tim has an affinity for the work of legendary Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. It's easy to see why.
Made known to the modern non-art world by 2003's "Girl with a Pearl Earring" starring Colin Firth and Scarlett Johansson, Johannes Vermeer was relatively uncelebrated during his life, but eventually grew to renown as one of the greatest artists of the Dutch Golden Age.
Without going too far down the path of history lesson, suffice to say that Vermeer painted with an eye quite unlike any having come before or since. As shown in the film (facilitated by Penn and directed by Teller), Vermeer embraced a unique and secret methodology, demonstrating a dazzling ability to manipulate light and color into an astonishingly realistic outcome.
It's a methodology that has confounded artists and art historians alike for 350 years.
Until now.
Enter Tim Jenison, a man with a theory. A man with the time, the resources, the curiosity, and pure dogged persistence to carry forth that theory to the bitter end. And either it'll be a colossal waste of time, or… he'll have a Vermeer.
"Tim's Vermeer" plays like "The Da Vinci Code" for tech geeks and mystery junkies. The extreme and scientific lengths to which Jenison goes will daunt even the most Felix Ungered, Sheldon Coopered among us, and along the way, the film sheds light (if you'll pardon the pun) on the lengths to which Vermeer himself went to achieve the outcome. No small task here, boy.
When Jenison is done, we learn with likely 95% certainty (personally, I'd peg it at 99.99) that he solved one of the most tantalizing mysteries dangling before us today: how on earth did Johannes Vermeer paint with photographic effect and accuracy 150 years before photography was invented?
Arthur C. Clarke asserted that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Vermeer's 17th-century technique, whatever it was, appeared so startlingly realistic as to feel magical to the observer, and it took the practiced eye of a 21st-century techie to tease out the methodology that artists were too close to see.
So what now the impact upon the value of Vermeer's work? Does knowing his secret in any way diminish his accomplishment? Does it somehow undermine his unprecedented (and to date unreplicated) result?
It's an interesting question, particularly given the reverence with which so many (myself included) regard creative inspiration. As when it was discovered that Earth revolves around the sun and that it is, in fact, round, new truths tend to upset. But interestingly, it wasn't the artists' community that yowled, it was the art historians'; the painters themselves took it in largely stride, while the people who study, codify, and comment upon art kicked up quite the kerfuffle upon peeking behind the curtain and finding the actual man.
Contrast this world view to that of the three who pursued the goal of "Tim's Vermeer", each of whom a staunch atheist. To them it seems the question was interesting to be sure, but more one of solving a riddle vs. gaining insight into the psyche of an artistic Master. One even occasionally senses from Jillette a certain underlying stance that solving the mystery somehow "debunked" or "exposed" Vermeer's talent, as though its practicality somehow commoditizes its beauty.
Of course (she says) such is ridiculous, as is also pointed out in the film. But even should it be to any extent true, the sheer tenacity required of the painter offsets the argument entirely. Vermeer conceived the method and Vermeer alone executed it, and where Jenison barely survived it the once, Vermeer planned and completed it thirty-four times at minimum count.
Beauty and its execution take many forms; as said at the bottom of WordPress.org, Code is Poetry. Here, as Jillette put its it, Tim's discovery simply "turns [Vermeer's] unfathomable genius into fathomable genius." Genius nonetheless, according to any definition.
"Tim's Vermeer" explores a trade secret on the order of the recipe for Coke, and in so doing reveals the genius, creativity, meticulousness, patience, and stamina of Johannes himself. And it does so with a pure thrill, reminding us that what's before our eyes may well not be what we're seeing at all, and that the art and the technology, together, is what creates the magic.

JBI Component development (Part 7)
By Christophe Vaille on Nov 01, 2008
JBI Deployment Module for the LibMapperServiceEngine
1. Build the JBI Deployment Module for the LibMapperServiceEngine
After the build and deployment of the LibMapperServiceEngine on JBI, we need to create the JBI DeploymentPlugin (.nbm) dedicated to the LibMapperServiceEngine.
This specific module will appear on the NetBeans SOA project wizard:
The illustration below shows the NetBeans SOA wizard:
Open in NetBeans 6.1 the JBI DeploymentPlugin [LibMapperServiceEngine] project.
1.1. package libmapperserviceengine.project.wizard.resources:
The package libmapperserviceengine.project.wizard.resources needs to contain the following ressouces files:
- jbi.xml
- semap.properties
- SampleJNICalls.wsdl
The semap.properties file contains the following parameters:
- wsdl=SampleJNICalls
- mapper=libmapper.JNIMapper
The wsdl field must contain the name of the WSDL that describe the interface of the Java library.
The illustration below shows the SampleJNICalls.wsdl file:
The mapper field must contain the name of the specific class that extends the Mapper file. This class will be dynamically loaded by the LibMapperServiceEngine.
The illustration below shows the semap.properties file:
1.2. package libmapperserviceengine.project.wizard
The package libmapperserviceengine.project.wizard contains the following Java class:
- SEPluginProjectWizardIterator.java
- SEPluginProjectWizardIterator:
Edit this class to add the ressource files name to set the following variables on the suArtifacts:
String table.
- String[] suArtifacts = {"semap.properties","SampleJNICalls.wsdl"};
These ressources file will appear later under the LibMapperServiceEngine JBI Module project.
The illustration below shows the suArtifacts String table:
1.3. Build and deploy the plugin
Use the NetBeans JBI DeploymentPlugin [LibMapperServiceEngine] project menu to build the full project.
After the successful build, create the JBI DeploymentPlugin [LibMapperServiceEngine] module NBM plugin.
Now we need to install this new JBI DeploymentPlugin [LibMapperServiceEngine] module NBM plugin into NetBeans 6.1.
Use the NetBeans plugin tool to install the plugin.
The illustration below shows the NetBeans plugin tool wizard:
The illustration below shows the NetBeans plugin tool with the installed JBI DeploymentPlugin [LibMapperServiceEngine]:
At this point the JBI DeploymentPlugin [LibMapperServiceEngine] will appear on the NetBeans SOA wizard that will generate a LibMapperServiceEngine Module.
At this step of development the:
LibMapperServiceEngine is deployed on JBI.
JBI DeploymentPlugin [LibMapperServiceEngine] is available in NetBeans and ready to use.

Lady Gaga added the Twin Cities to her tour dates this year!
Don't know why she neglected us before, especially since the tickets sold out in the first twenty minutes for the Monday night show. Was this a clue as to why she added a second show Tuesday night?
Instead of her day off visiting the Mall of America, Chicago's former gay idol, Lady Gaga, is giving back to her fans by doing two shows instead of one, August 30th and 31st, at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.
Before the second show was added, fans flocked to craigslist to get tickets. Tickets range from $49.50 up to $175, and that doesn't include the $400+ VIP tickets or ticketmaster fees. The cheap tickets sell out the fastest leaving fans no choice but to pay the big bucks.
Is Lady Gaga's Monster Ball really worth $194.50?
A fan on ticketmaster that saw her show in San Francisco, called her stage set up of "Paparazzi," "ridiculously awesome."
But Lady Gaga's Monster Ball tour is changing by the time it hits Minneapolis. Word is that she's changed it to more of a musical play where her and her friends are going to the Monster Ball and the evening unfolds Lady Gaga style…if it comes close to the "Bad Romance" video ending, be prepared for fire!
Tickets are still available for Tuesday's show. Don't miss out on the craziest Monster's Ball of a lifetime!

It's a new year, and with it comes a new look for Popdust's award-winning (in our minds at least) Twitter feud reportage. Stars are feistier than ever, and the number of social networks for them to fight on is only growing—now we'll be your guide to their digital dustups, with a clearer, standardized look at who's feuding over what, where and why. If you're lucky, we'll even pass judgement and tell you who won!
Did you really think this Azealia Banks-Angel Haze beef was going to peter out after only a day? Of course not. The two pugnacious MCs went at it again on Twitter on Friday, after Banks released a brand-new diss track aimed at Haze. Here's how everything went down:
Who's Feuding: Frenemies Azealia Banks and Angel Haze, two up-and-coming female rappers who apparently had a major falling out sometime in the past few months.
Mediums: Twitter, Soundcloud.
How It Got Started: The Twitter drama entered its second act Thursday afternoon, when Angel Haze released the magnificently spiteful diss track "On the Edge," which threw up all the duo's dirty laundry for everyone to see. Haze then made it known that she would expect nothing less than a full response track from Banks: "LOL," she tweeted, "Any response that is not in the form of a song is null and void."
Best Shots: On Friday morning, Banks finally released a diss track of her own, the throbbing "No Problems." While Haze focused on putting all of Banks' old business out in the open, "No Problems" is more of a standard diss track: Banks is awesome, and anyone taking shots is just jealous of her skills and success.
Of course, the new track also reignited the war of words between the pair, which had lain dormant for a whole 18 hours:
Lol I def used that energy to write a fly new jam tho. It's not even really a diss anymore! Haha !!!
— YUNG RAPUNXEL (@AZEALIABANKS) January 4, 2013
Just straight fly uptown NYC shit!!! "NO PROBLEMS" – 12pm !!!!!!
— YUNG RAPUNXEL (@AZEALIABANKS) January 4, 2013
I couldn't even play that weak shit all the way thru, bruh. ANYWAY 6pm. you some trash.
— Young Gypsy(@AngelHaze) January 4, 2013
alright, now you just fucked up.
— Young Gypsy(@AngelHaze) January 4, 2013
weak bitches do weak bitch shit…i thought you would at least have that crackhead strength.
— Young Gypsy(@AngelHaze) January 4, 2013
fuck that, give me thirty minutes. ill record this shit on garage band. not worth studio time.
— Young Gypsy(@AngelHaze) January 4, 2013
Tweets/Accounts Later Deleted: Banks tweeted that Haze wasn't on her level, and challenged Haze's 6 p.m. release time for a new diss track, but later deleted both tweets.
Endgame: According to Angel Haze, a second diss track may be coming later on Friday, so it looks like this is going to be an ongoing thing for a while.
Who Won? We're fans of both these rappers, but this feud is so fun to watch that we're going to give this one to The Fans. Everyone wins!
