In a series of arrested spurts, it straightens its form into the upright position of a man roughly the same height and build as Thomas, round-shouldered with some thickness about the waist.
The Mud Man by Benjamin Percy
Thomas is weeding when it happens, when he hacks at the cheat grass and goosegrass choking his daffodils and rips up pubic clumps of the stuff with a garden claw that makes a silvery arc in the air when driven down into the soil, into his hand. He wasn't concentrating. He was thinking about something else. At this time of year, when everyone crowds his office at once, throwing onto his desk rubber-banded W-9s and wrinkly bunches of receipts, he is always thinking about something else--about reductions to the gift tax rate, the new exclusions for estates and trusts, the valuation of qualified real property, and on and on, his mind clogged with numbers and forms, his fingers dirty with ink and crosshatched with paper cuts. If only I didn't need sleep, he often said to his wife. If only there were more hours in a day. If only there were two of me.
So it takes Thomas a moment to process the injury, his thoughts snagged on the problem of a split refund. He does not curse--he is not the cursing type--but immediately tears off the glove to account for the damage. The webbing between his thumb and index finger is a ragged gash. And the nail of his middle finger has peeled over, hanging by a red thread. A nub of bone peeks out. The pain arrives a moment later, an electric heat. He can feel his pulse in his hand. A drop of blood gathers at the tip of his finger, swells fatly, and then falls into the cup of a daffodil, its bloom a bleeding mouth.
He likes daffodils more than tulips for their practicality. You can't count on tulips. You dig so many holes with your spade and arrange the bulbs within them in a tidy design so that staggered throughout the garden the flowers will appear, blooming in different stages, different colors, Darwin tulips and a fringed tulips and parrot tulips and triumph tulips. But that never happens. Things never work out as you expect them to. The squirrels find the bulbs, sniffing them out, burrowing through the loose soil, chewing them like blighted apples. And when spring finally comes, maybe you have a tulip here, a tulip there, scattered survivors soon gnawed down to a serrated edge by a rabbit.
Daffodils you can count on. Squirrels hate their bulbs, and rabbits their leaves and flowers, for the bitter taste. So daffodils are what he plants, and once their bloom ends, the iris and the daylilies take over, the peonies and columbine and hollyhocks, the hostas, the whole garden color-coordinated, tidily weeded, mapped out perfectly, like the rest of his life.
Next to the toilet sits a magazine rack arranged alphabetically. He folds his socks into neat little balls that run in white, brown, and black stripes through his drawer. Every Saturday he washes his car, a tan Honda Escort, kneeling to pick the bugs from the grill, to fingernail any rust specks off the hubcaps. He organizes his grocery list according to aisles. He alternates his mowing patterns--north/south, east/west, diagonal--to ensure the grass doesn't go streaked with wheel wear.
So the messiness of his hand bothers him more than the pain. He peels off his fingernail and flicks it aside and it drops into the soil like a seed.
His is a life without music. He finds it distracting, irritating. Even on long car trips he keeps the radio silent, the only noise the hum of the engine, the hiss of the air conditioning. So it is as he drives the hospital, his hand wrapped in a towel, his mouth tightened into a line as he chews at the insides of his lips and calculates the hours lost to this injury, not just an afternoon in the garden but the weeks ahead in the office, punching numbers, flipping through files.
Later, when he returns home, his hand is gloved in bandages under which his skin is glopped over with Neosporin and stitched up with black string that looks like the coarse sort of hair that might grow on a fly, like the flies that fill the bloody daffodil, buzzing and drinking hungrily and making the flower bob and surge with their boiling presence, when once more he stands in his garden, collecting his tools, his gloves, his kneeling cushion.
It is then that he spots, in the very same place he lost his fingernail, the swollen belly of dirt. Along its edges several flowers lean sideways, displaced. It is cracked along its crown and from the center of it pokes a cluster of green, muddy shoots that look like nothing so much as a handful of fingers, reaching upward. He toes at it with his shoe and mutters, "What the?" but before he can crouch down and observe it more closely, his wife opens the kitchen window to tell him to please come inside, his Tuesday night casserole is ready.
By the next morning, what appears to be a crooked tree--almost an arm--a sinewy tangle of bark and vines and leaves--grows from the garden. And throughout the day it grows larger, and larger still, thickening, branching out, taking on the eventual appearance of a man curled into a fetal position. This is what Thomas observes after work when he rattles the lawnmower out of the garage and into the backyard.
The wind is blowing, and at first Thomas believes it is responsible not only for the trembling of the grass he stands on, but the shivering of the bush. A bush. That is what Thomas--squinting his eyes, cocking his head--processes the hunched shape as, some invasive species of bush. And then he realizes it has its own animation, as it hunches against the wind, slowly untangling itself, shuddering to life. In a series of arrested spurts, it straightens its form into the upright position of a man roughly the same height and build as Thomas, round-shouldered with some thickness about the waist.
He, the mud man, stands in the middle of a shallow crater. His joints issue a series of blistery pops like pitch pockets boiling out of a log thrown on a fire. Clods of dirt fall off him and patter the garden, freckling the daffodils and hostas. He has all the calm of a tree, the breeze rushing around him, bending the loose vines and leaves hanging off him like hair, carrying a smell like worms washed across a sidewalk after a hard rain. The mud man seems to be staring at Thomas, though it is hard to tell as his eyes are hollows with black scribbles in them, like the insides of a rotten walnut.
When the mud man steps forward, Thomas steps back, so that for a moment they are mirror images of one another. The mud man raises his arm, extending his rooty fingers, and at first Thomas thinks he means to shake hands. But the mud man is instead reaching for the lawnmower. He rips back the cord and the engine coughs to life. Immediately he sets off across the lawn, making a dark green path all the way to the fenceline, where he flips the mower neatly around and continues back toward Thomas, who can only stand there, blinking, scratching vaguely at the itch beneath his bandaging.
His mind is never off-the-clock, always accounting. He knows how many tiles there are on the floor of his master bath: 15. He keeps a notepad and a pen in his Honda and every time he fills up he calculates his gas mileage: 21, city; 32, highway. He can guess with great accuracy the number of bowel movements he will have in a day based on the dinner he ate the night prior: meatloaf, 1; fish fry, 2; Mexican, 3 1/2. Before the NCAA tourney, he spends weeks studying stats, injuries, coaching strategies, while composing his bracket. The tidy calculations exhilarate him and inform nearly everything he does, as is the case now, when he glances at his watch and realizes that with the forty minutes saved from mowing the lawn and sweeping its clippings off the sidewalk, he will have time to finish the Anderson Jewelry portfolio before dinner.
The mud man trims the hedges. The mud man lays down fresh mulch. The mud man empties the garbage. The mud man sweeps out the garage. The mud man cleans the winter's ashes from the fireplace. The mud man polishes the mildew from the grout in the basement shower stall. The mud man cleans the gutters, pulling out dank fistfuls of leaves, crushing hornet's nests and tossing them aside as if they were balls of paper. The mud man tries to wash the dishes, but gives up after the water darkens and thickens into a kind of gravy.
At first his wife worries. "What will the neighbors think?" she says. "That I can't take care of our own home? That I'm sitting here all day doing nothing?"
But then, when the Mud Man brings her a Diet Coke with a slice of lemon, when he irons the wrinkled Oxfords that have piled up in the laundry room, when he fixes the satellite so that a jagged line doesn't run down the middle of the television, she begins to grow fond of him, the way he remembers the little things that Thomas doesn't have time for. "Thanks," she says.
Coming home from work and seeing so many tasks completed makes Thomas feel renewed in the world. He smiles and claps the mud man on the shoulder and then goes to the bathroom to scrub the mucky residue off his palm.
Thomas has a son, a two-year-old named Owen. They don't spend much time together. When occasionally Thomas tries to play with the child, piecing together a puzzle or pushing a toy tractor through the sandbox, they both end up frustrated, because Owen doesn't do things correctly--he fails to put the edges of the puzzle together first--he throws sand into the air and dirties the patio--and Thomas finds himself constantly correcting him, saying, "No, no, no," until finally the boy collapses into a red-faced fit.
Sometimes he forgets Owen even exists. One time he returned home from work and stepped into the kitchen as the garage door rumbled closed and nearly tripped over the boy as he played with his magnets on the refrigerator. "What are you doing here?" he said and meant it in more way than one.
Owen has a large head and short legs. His knuckles are dimpled. His muddy eyes match his hair. The boy seems to enjoy the Mud Man as if he were a pet, something to be chased and pestered. He races between his legs. He plucks leaves off him and tosses them into the air like green confetti. At the end of the day he grabs the Mud Man by the hand and asks him to help pick up his toys. The Mud Man never complains. Thomas even observes him help the boy up and pat him on the head after a nasty tumble off his tricycle.
This evening, Owen is playing on the living room floor with a plastic dragon the size of a cat. When he pushes a red scale on its back, it stomps forward and opens its jaws and looses a roar. But the batteries are low, so its steps are sluggish and its roar more like the squawk of a strangled bird.
Thomas comes out of his office to get a glass of milk and sees the boy whimpering over the toy. He says, "You wait one minute," and goes to the cupboard where they keep the batteries and a small plastic toolbox and squats down on the carpet next to the boy. "I help," Owen says and Thomas says, "No. You watch and learn."
But his bandaged hand can't grip the dragon properly and his good hand is cramped from clutching a pen all day and he keeps fumbling the screwdriver, which is too big for the small screw on the dragon's belly where the batteries are housed. After he bungles the screwdriver for the third time, he stares at his hands, simply stares at them, as if he were at the controls of the machine that has broken down.
At that moment the mud man walks into the house after fertilizing the lawn. He wipes off his feet on the rug in the foyer and leaves some grassy deposit in its fibers. He moves toward Thomas with a noise like whispering. Without hesitation he plucks away the dragon and the screwdriver and proceeds to finger out the old batteries and replace them with new ones charged with energy. And then he proceeds to another room of the house to complete some other task and leaves Thomas staring after him.
It is April and Thomas is busier than ever with so many of his clients rushing the deadline on the 15th. Three of them are small-business owners who tried Turbo Tax and got lost in the papery labyrinth of payroll. They all have ideas about deductions. "But what about..." is how most of their sentences begin. They seem to blame him for their mistakes. Secretly he hates them, even as he nods his head and smiles mildly at their jokes about Uncle Sam and says that he will get to work immediately so that they don't have to file for an extension even as he wonders how he will find the time.
His wife comes home with a new perfume. Something by Estee Lauder. She leans against Thomas and asks what he thinks. He tentatively sniffs at her. "You smell like flowers," he says. "You smell nice." And then his nose feels suddenly full of ants that needle and burrow and gather into a tremendous sneeze. They are in the kitchen at the time and he moves away from her, bothered by another sneeze, and then another. Finally his back runs up against the counter and he can retreat no farther. His eyes are watering. His upper lip is damp with mucus. His wife asks if he needs a tissue and he holds out an arm to shoo her away.
The mud man is in the nearby hallway. He has stopped his sweeping. His hands grip the broom's handle as if it were a sword. He is looking at Rebecca with his hollowed-out eyes. His nostrils appear to flare. Right then a worm slides its pink head from his forehead, probing the air, pulsing like a hungry vein.
For Easter dinner, the mud man prepares mashed potatoes, a fruit salad, wheat rolls, and a lamb roast jeweled with garlic and rosemary from the garden. The table is set with the wedding china. Two pale green candles sputter and hiss against the breeze that purls through an open window. Everyone--even little Owen--makes an "Ooo" sound when the mud man carries in the roast on a silver platter and sets it on the table. When he lifts the carving knife, Thomas stands up from his chair so suddenly that it nearly tips over. "I'll take that," he says and snatches the knife and begins to carve thick, red slices onto plates. "There you go," he says. "There you go."
The mud man is watching all of this, as if waiting for an explanation.
Thomas takes his seat at the head of the table and tucks a napkin under his chin and says, "It's the principle of the thing, you see."
There is a streetlamp outside his bedroom window. Even on a moonless night, even with the blinds closed, the room glows with a pale blue light. The mud man is backlit by it, a dark silhouette that Thomas observes when he wakes from a nightmare about an audit that shut down his firm.
"Is that you?" Thomas says, his voice only a whisper. "What do you want?"
The mud man does not say anything. He never says anything. The window is open to let in the cool, spring air, and at that moment the wind shifts and sucks the blinds against it with a clatter. The room grows momentarily darker.
Thomas comes home to find the stereo blasting the Rolling Stones. In the living room the Mud Man is dancing. He is bending his knees and pumping his arms. Next to him, Owen leaps about, clapping off-rhythm. And there is his wife, her hands above her head, twirling in a circle. Her eyes are closed and the corners of her mouth are turned up in a faint smile, giving her a satisfied look, as if a friend is whispering to her.
Thomas goes to the stereo and snaps it off and they all go still and he fills the silence by saying, "That's enough of that, I think."
At work, he tells a farmer no, he cannot write off his dog and all of its food and chew-toys, even though it chases down mice and nips at the heels of the heifers to hurry them into the barn. At work, he lays out differences between state taxes in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, and Wyoming, and makes clear to a musician why he has to file with all of them for the gigs he's played. At work, he tries to explain itemized deductions to a college kid wearing mirrored sunglasses that reflect a warped and ghostly image of himself, his office.
All of them stare at him open-mouthed, still pale from winter, their faces like the faces of the drowned.
He comes home to find the house empty. He calls out for his wife and his voice flutters down the hallway to die. He goes to the bedroom to pull off his tie, to change from his suit. There he finds the bed tangled and muddy. He slowly walks toward it, his loafers thudding against the hardwood, and bunches the sheet in his hand and pulls them to his face and breathes deeply. They smell like grass, stone, rain, earthworms.
He feels suddenly boneless, filleted. Dizziness comes over him and he holds out his arms like a man about to fall through rotten ice and catches his weight against the dresser. It is then that his glance falls to the window and he spies them, his wife and the mud man. They are kneeling in the garden, among his daffodils, yanking up weeds to set in piles they will later dispose of. He can hear music faintly through the glass, playing from a boombox they dragged outside. His wife is bobbing her head. His son, Owen, plays nearby, pushing a toy truck through his sandbox, his lips pursed, no doubt making little motor sounds. Above them the sky is a lush blue scattered with thick clouds. The window is latticed and Thomas feels suddenly jailed by it, so separate from them.
All of this is difficult to process, completely outside the boundaries of mathematical principles. He cannot lick his thumb and leaf through the IRS Manual or download a PDF from some .gov website for the answer. He cannot punch numbers into his calculator and thumb more lead into his mechanical pencil and correct his mistakes with an eraser's grayish-pink nub.
Because he doesn't know what else to do, he slams down his bandaged hand on the dresser. The shock of pain forks up his arm and he relishes its distracting force. With a whimper he slams his hand down again and again until he can feel the heat of blood leaking from him. A perfume bottle rattles and tips and rolls off the dresser to fall to the floor, where it shatters in a starburst of glass.
Outside, the mud man turns and raises his head, as though he hears--or maybe senses--Thomas in the window. Across the twenty yards of lawn a stare seals between them. Thomas tries to hold it, but the perfume rises up in a rank fog that makes him sneeze, once, twice. His eyes are watering, tears spilling down his cheeks, so his vision is inexact, but he is almost certain he sees the mud man's normally slack expression tighten into a frown, regarding Thomas as if he is the bothersome scrap of dream or maybe a weed that might be unrooted, disposed of, like something that shouldn't have existed in the first place.

Rudy's Lifebox
On this page I'm assembling some info and a tool relating to my notion of a "lifebox" — an on-line simulacrum of the self. I go into considerable detail about the lifebox in my novel,Saucer Wisdom, in my non-fiction book, The Lifebox, the Seashell, and the Soul, and in my recent article "Lifebox Immortality" which I co-authored with Leon Marvell.
In a nutshell, my idea is this: to create a virtual self, I need two initial steps:
(1) Place a lot of text online in the form of articles, books, and blog posts.
(2) Provide a search box for accessing this data base.
And, yes, I know that more is needed. Let's talk about it!
Place your comments here.
But for now, want to know my thoughts on anything at all? Try entering some keywords in the Search Rudy's Lifebox field below (ignoring the first few results, which are Ads by Google). Tip: Enter multiple keywords at once in order to winnow down the number of hits.
Note also that some of these Google links are coarse, that is, they'll often direct you to the start of a long document that contains the target word. In this case, when you get to the document, you might need to search the document itself by using a "Find" box on your browser page—the "Find" box is in a bar at the bottom in Firefox, at the top in Internet Explorer, and in a box at the top if you're viewing a PDF file.
I'd appreciate suggestions about automating that last bit. I suppose I could post my online PDF and DOC files as more readily searchable HTML files. But maybe there's a way to make Google search spit out a link that not only points to a PDF or a DOC, but invokes the necessary search inside the PDF or DOC?

Gas prices rebound
Retail gasoline prices across Texas rebounded this week after falling for six weeks in a row, according to a weekly price survey released Friday.
The AAA Texas survey showed regular-grade gasoline averaged $2.90 per gallon at Texas pumps this week, 5 cents more than last week.
The most expensive gas in the 11 Texas cities surveyed was found in Amarillo, where regular-grade skyrocketed by nearly 22 cents to an average of $3.30 per gallon. The cheapest gas was in Houston, where it rose 3 cents to $2.83.

"Bachelorette" Andi Dorfman's mystery letter was revealed today, hours before the season finale airs. Last week after the "Men Tell All" special, host Chris Harrison handed a letter to Andi backstage, prompting fans to ask, "Is the letter from Nick or Josh?" (See the letter below.)
The letter is seven paragraphs long and the writer rambles on about his love for Andi and how he wished things would have worked out. After reading just one paragraph, it's a no-brainer that the letter was written by Nick Viall, the man who Reality Steve says will not get the final rose.
Viall wrote Andi a fairy tale for their overnight date and rambled on nervously before telling her he loved her. After reading the entire letter, it's clear that Josh Murray did not write this letter. Throughout the season, Josh has had plenty to say, but it was never very well thought out and poetic like Nick.
"Andi, You lit me up. You made me feel those things that people go a lifetime to find, and I feel like I made you feel the same. I truly hoped we would have made it into the real world, where there would be no arbitrary dead-line ... What we had was real to me, and it was amazing." (read the entire letter here)
That's classic Nick for those who have paid attention this season. Why did ABC reveal the contents of the letter prior to the show? Likely because they know the show has already been spoiled and everyone knows who the winner is. The nail in the coffin was when Reality Steve released a video of Nick talking about the ending. So, in an effort to save face, producers obviously decided to concoct a dramatic letter to keep people talking.
Is Andi's final pick already cheating on her? (spoiler)
"The Bachelorette" finale will be live three hour event starting at 8 p.m. ET. The first two hours will show the final dates as well as Nick and Josh's time with Andi's parents. The final rose ceremony will top off the second hour, and then fans can tune in at 10 p.m. to watch the live "After the Final Rose" special. The show will be live streamed on the ABC Live app for those who aren't near a television.
Do you agree that Nick wrote the letter and that it's impossible that Josh could have written something so long and poetic?

Dec. 30, 1995 - Attendance: 47,398
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Consider the business finished. East Carolina returned to the Liberty Bowl. And this time it won.
A 19-13 victory over Stanford on a Saturday that started cool and sunny and quickly turned cold and wet culminated the Pirates' quest for vindication from last year's debacle against Illinois. That game ended 30-0, but also started a mission to take care of "Unfinished Business."
And though it will not go down as one of the more picturesque wins in ECU history, it was quite satisfying for the many purple-clad fans in the crowd of around 30,000 (47,398 tickets were sold) who had to grit their teeth to the exasperating end.
Despite clamping down on the high-scoring Cardinal offense all day, the Pirates could never create a comfort zone and had to make one last stand to escape. Stanford, down just six despite a day full of frustration, suddenly found itself with a chance to win in the final minute. A 40-yard kickoff return by Damon Dunn gave Stanford life. Quarterback Mark Butterfield then completed two passes and scrambled three yards to move the ball to the 26.
Stanford burned its last timeout after a six-yard pass to Mark Harris. Twenty seconds remained. Could the Cardinal, left for dead, possibly pull this out? Not quite. Butterfield's pass on third and one was incomplete, then his fourthdown pass to Brian Manning on a slant pattern was dropped. ECU limited Stanford to a season-low 211 yards, including just 72 on the ground. The Pirates also forced four turnovers--two interceptions andtwo fumbles--and converted those into 10 points.
"We knew we had a good defense and we just wanted to prove it today," said Daren Hart, who had a 39-yard interception return for a score and 10 tackles and was named the Pirates' defensive player of the game.
These Pirates looked like imposters, too. They won not by Marcus Crandell's arm or Jerris McPhail's legs but with defense and field goals. Yes, field goals. Junior Chad Holcomb, named ECU's offensive MVP, set Liberty Bowl and personal single-game records with four field goals. He had three in the second period, including a career-best 46 yarder to help the Pirates to a 16-7 lead. He then added a 34-yarder with 1:50 left. But no offensive touchdowns. None.
"It's been a long, long time since that's happened," ECU head coach Steve Logan said of winning without an offensive touchdown. "That's a first in the seven years I've been at East Carolina."
Crandell completed just 19 of 46 passes for 218 yards. He was intercepted once and sacked twice. McPhail rushed for 92 yards on 27 carries. The Cardinal cracked ECU's defense only once, driving 69 yards in 13 plays to get within 10-7. Butterfield kept the drive alive by zipping a 31-yard pass to Manning on third and 23, moving the ball to the ECU 7.
Adam Salina scored the touchdown on a one-yard run. ECU resorted to a bit of trickery on its next possession, getting a 23-yard run from Morris Foreman on a fake punt. The Pirates reached the 7 but had to settle for a 26-yard Holcomb field goal.
Holcomb added a 41-yarder with three seconds left in the half as ECU cashed in on a fumble recovery by Travis Darden.
Kwame Ellis had Stanford back in it in a flash. First, he scooped up a blocked punt by Nicodemous Watts and ran two yards for a score to make it 16-13. The PAT kick sailed wide.
Two plays later, Ellis picked off a Crandell pass intended for Troy Smith at the Stanford 49. The Cardinal reached the ECU 39 but had to punt.

Carbon Dioxide
Carbon Dioxide, or CO2, is a gas which occurs naturally in the Earths atmosphere as part of animal metabolism (respiration), plant photosynthesis, decomposition, and combustion. The gas is colorless, odorless, tasteless, noncombustible, and soluble in water. CO2 makes up slightly less than 1% of our atmosphere. Though it most commonly appears as a gas, it can also be frozen at extremely low temperatures to form dry ice. It is used in industry for such processes as beverage carbonation, welding, and chemical manufacture.
Primary Sources
Carbon dioxide accumulation inside the home is normally related directly to the number of occupants. Concentration of the gas is usually highest where homeowners (and, if applicable, pets) spend most of their time. Since increasing levels of CO2 encourage plant growth, an unusual flowering or blooming of household plants may indicate an overabundance of carbon dioxide. Also, carbon dioxide by nature is 1.5 times heavier than air, and therefore tends to pool in low areas such as basements. Carbon dioxide is also the primary gas involved in the greenhouse effect, and therefore may be prevalent in an enclosed, windowed area.
Other nonliving sources of the gas may include space heaters, clothes dryers, stoves, or any other unvented gas-burning appliance. The gas may also infiltrate the home from an outdoor source, in which case the cause is most likely to be a large industrial area or any processes which involve the burning of fossil fuels.
Health Effects
Symptoms caused by carbon dioxide are directly related to the fact that increasing carbon dioxide levels cause decreasing oxygen levels in the body, hampering the flow of oxygen to the brain. If the concentration of the gas is still relatively low, common symptoms include headaches, an increasing pulse rate, uncharacteristically high fatigue, and breathing difficulties. When concentration of the gas reaches a high level above 30,000 ppm (parts per million), symptoms can include heavy nausea, dizziness, or vomiting. At these levels asphyxiation or a loss of consciousness can also occur, but this is hardly likely to occur in a common home, where levels of carbon dioxide usually range from 300 to 2,000 ppm.
Exposure Guidelines
Serious health problems relating to carbon dioxide can result from chronic
exposure. Acceptable levels have not been determined.
As with most other gases whose problems arise from long-term accumulation, one of the most effective ways to prevent a buildup of carbon dioxide is to use a balanced, mechanical ventilation system, which will reduce indoor CO2 levels and eliminate many other harmful indoor air contaminants. Other preventative measures in keeping the gas at an acceptable level include ensuring that all gas burning appliances are properly vented, and regularly checking on any and all fuel-burning appliances. Carbon dioxide detectors can also be purchased, which can be calibrated to last as long as two years before needing recalibration (this does not mean you would have to purchase a new detector, just reset it).

I am trying to add a calculated item based on a web scenario response time. I am trying to add an item like so:
avg("web.test.time[fut_perf,index,resp]", #5)+avg("web.test.time[fut_perf,about,resp]" #5)
I am hoping to get the combined value of both averages over 5 polls. I am getting the error:
ERROR: Page received incorrect data
Warning. Incorrect value for [Formula]
I have also tried:
avg("web.test.time[fut_perf,index,resp]", 120)+avg("web.test.time[fut_perf,about,resp]" 120)
avg("web.test.time[fut_perf,index,resp]", 120)
avg(web.test.time[fut_perf,index,resp], 120)+avg(web.test.time[fut_perf,about,resp] 120)
avg(web.test.time[fut_perf,index,resp], 120)
Zabbix version is 1.8.4. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Is it possible that web scenario items are not supported in calculated items?

Ahmed Elassy, Organizer and Public Affairs Director for the Egyptian-International Coalition for Ending the Blockade and Rebuilding Gaza, discusses Hosni Mubarak's arrest following his brazen public statement denying corruption and threatening to sue those who slandered him; how Egyptians have resolved to bring Mubarak to justice themselves if the military fails to do so; the foreign banks refusing to freeze the Mubarak family's billions in ill-gotten assets; Ahmed's meeting with Egypt's Foreign Minister Dr. Nabil Al-Araby on allowing commercial goods into Gaza and working to open the Rafah crossing permanently; and the billions in Gaza aid sitting idle while the cement and steel needed to rebuild remains blockaded by Israel.
MP3 here. (34:04)
Ahmed Elassy is a dual Egyptian-American citizen who spent his adolescence in Egypt and has lived in Cairo permanently since 1999. As an IT consultant specialized in network security, Mr. Elassy has owned and operated companies in both the US and in Egypt. The child of politically active parents in 1970s Egypt, his political activism includes extensive online work related to the unjust Israeli policies toward Palestinians. Mr. Elassy is currently serving as the Organizer and Public Affairs Director for the Egyptian-International Coalition for Ending the Blockade and Rebuilding Gaza, the main objective of which is to peacefully demand the permanent end of the Egyptian blockade of goods, services and building materials to the Gaza Strip.

TC TO ALEXANDER CARLYLE; 3 October 1846; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18461003-TC-AC-01; CL 21:66-68.
Chelsea, 3 octr, 1846—
My dear Brother,
Probably they are writing to you from Scotsbrig by this Packet; but it can do you no ill to get a little word from me too. I wrote you last from Dumfries, on my way hitherward, in a great hurry: this present sheet will signify to you that I am safely arrived. I was, as is usual with me when tumbling about in strange places (and poor old Annandale is now grown very strange to me), in a most confused bewildered and altogether suffering condition; body acting upon mind, and mind upon body, in a most sorrowful manner for me: but now I am a little rested again; and may at least tell you intelligibly what I have to say.
I went along by Ayr two days after that Letter; crossed from Renfrew-shire to Belfast in Ireland; went down the Coast there so far as Dublin; and after a few days, crossing to Liverpool, got home again; heartily wearied, and glad to rest anywhere. Ireland did not rejoice me much. A sad country at present; bad husbandry; rags and noise and ineffectuality: from Belfast all the way to Dublin I hardly saw a dozen fields completely fenced. To a man on the Coach I remarked, "What is the use of fencing at all, if this is the way of it? Leave one gap in your field, it is quite the same, surely, as if you had not put a thorn in it at all!"— The Potatoes, as you know, are totally a ruin, this year, there and everywhere. Nothing but sheer famine and death by hunger for millions in Ireland,—had not the Government interfered, most wisely, and signified to the Landlords of the Country that they would have to assess themselves, to look out for work and wages to these poor wretches of peasants and see that they did not famish. This appears to me the most important law ever passed for Ireland;1 the beginning, I do hope, of a new time for that wretched land: I almost rejoiced at the black Potatoe fields, which had brought it about; and bade the Potatoes "Go about their business, then," since the loss of them was leading us a little towards justice and a better sort of food for man! In fact it seems likely enough the Potatoes are done, not going to grow any more for us; which probably is the most important revolution ever brought about in our time,—for without them the working people cannot be supported on the old principle, and we must either perish or else improve. Indian Corn, I suppose, must be the substitute; we are trying to learn how to cook it so as to be palateable with flesh-meat, and shall succeed by and by. Here at present it is selling at two pence a-pound, being a rarity as yet!— In Dublin I saw O'Connell haranguing his beggarly squad in "Conciliation Hall," too; perhaps the most disgusting sight to me in that side of the water. He is sinking, however, I think; that is another good symptom.
At Liverpool, where my stay was brief, I made due inquiry about the Box for "Bield near Brantford." It had actually sailed for Montreal, addressed to you as above: in no great length of time after this Letter reaches you, I hope you may have one from Montreal announcing that the Box has arrived there, and telling you when and how to look for it at Brantford. The carriage was to be all paid: I hope they will attend to that. In the Box itself there was nothing of much moment to you except as a memorial from us; Jane and I packed it ourselves (very full indeed) the day before I went across from Liverpool to Scotsbrig: a Pilot-coat [and a] Pilot-hat (very strange articles) for yourself and also for Tom; a clock for Jenny, ditto for little Jane (hers was one of big Jane's); some Books, and other sundries: you will receive them with pleasure for the sake of the feeling they convey. Inside is a tin coffer with a lock, which I thought might be useful to you as a repository for papers etc: it is crammed with various articles;—and one (there, I believe) is a knife bought by Jane herself, which is a gift from her to you. All the women things were bought by her; but this was with her own money, and destined as I say. There is nothing more that need be explained about the cargo, that I recollect of.— Did you get the 2d edition of Cromwell? I sent a Copy for you thro' Mr Greig, and another for himself: if it have not yet come, it almost certainly will by and by.
From Annandale I hear frequently, but nothing special the last time,—except that our Mother had caught a little cold; which she has now grown very apt to do: Jack hoped his medical treatment would speedily bring her round again. She is still very fond of reading; wonderfully lively of heart, but growing perceptibly lighter of figure; less and less able to encounter any hardship. Good old Mother! We cannot have her always; and we shall never see her like again! Jack has a kind of speculation about bringing her to Dumfries neighbourhood, to live with Jenny and occasionally himself; but I know not what will come of it; the project is in a very crude state as yet. Since my return hither, I have got something like a Bookseller's proposal for Jack's own enterprise which he has long been jumbling about with: I shall be heartily glad if it come to anything useful for the poor Doctor, who is sadly off for work in late times. We shall see. Jamie, they write to me, has got his harvest well in: an average crop or more, as crops go this year. The Millwrights have nearly finished his new Thrashing-machine. Poor old Calvert2 is dead. All Annandale was full of drunk "Navvies" (Navigators, so they call them) working at the Railway: the most detestable set of savages I ever saw. Wages 3/6 a-day, and they drink it all; drink even till their tools are pawned. The Annandale people who work there, do most a little better; they eat all their wages: hardly one or two of the whole squad are laying by any money against the evil day. One could only wish they would soon get done with their job, and disappear out of one's sight.— Dear Brother, I must now finish. We got your account of the puzzle you were in at harvest-time; and how nevertheless you succeeded in extricating yourself. Courage! I like the resolute patient manful temper you exhibit; there is more good in that than there can be evil in anything. Persevere, persevere; every day, if you keep your eyes open will make you wiser. I delight much to think of you labouring away among your Bairns, seeing them grow around you in all ways. Tom will be a strong fellow now! Let him try if he can fill that "P. jacket"! Little Jane will teach us one day how to cook our Indian meal for dinner. Adieu dear Brother. God's blessing on you all.
T. Carlyle

The girls are five weeks old today! They sure are fun and playful. They've been having fun exploring outside of the kitten room. It's pretty cool because Cami is so laid back that she is happy for the kittens to be outside of the room exploring and meeting the other cats. She's much different than my previous two mamas!!
Here's a zillion pics for you. Gemma was the poser of the day, so they're mostly of her. :)
Dexter says, "YES! Babies!!!!"

So glad everyone recovered so well. Looks like they are growing like weeds!ReplyDelete
I hope all the kitties are okay.ReplyDelete
How about an update? Wondering how they're doing.ReplyDelete

I have Win8, IE 10, Office 2010, trying to open/edit document from Sharepoint 2007, and I received: "The document could not be opened for editing. A Windows Sharepoint services compatible application could not be found to edit the document"
This happened ever since I used a new machine. Previously there was no problem to access the same files using Win7 IE9 & Office 2007.
I have done the followings to troubleshoot but still no good: 1. Make sure IE 10 is running in 32bit mode 2. Checked the Adds-on and the SharePoint Export Database Launcher, SharePoint OpenDocument Class, and SharePoint Stssync Handler are all enabled
Anyone got the similar issue? Appreciate to any help.

Frontier Natural Powdered Ginger Root
Posted by Reviewer1439551 on Jan 26, 2012
purchased this one as opposed to their cheaper powdered ginger as this one is from India whereas their other one originates from China; I've also found that some brands' bags of powdered ginger, upon opening, are tainted with a foul odor; this particular bag was not.
Tastes great and nice bold Ginger taste
Posted by Reviewer1659759 on Apr 10, 2011
I had some of this in non-organic but this one seems stronger. We use ginger lots, fresh and powdered, for all its health benefits. Also my back hurts less when I take it. This is great for smoothies so you don't get the stringy fiber as with fresh root. I like their Turmuric also.
Organic Powdered Ginger Root
Posted by Reviewer2869993 on Nov 20, 2011
This ginger root powder is just the best. It is so flavorful and sweet compared to regular powdered ginger. And great to buy in bulk at a lower rate. I fill up a spice glass and put the rest tightly closed in the cupboard as refill.
Great smooth taste, perfect for tea
Posted by teacupLA on Oct 05, 2015
This is wonderful for tea. We were always running out of our favorite Ginger teas that don't have added licorice, which raises the blood pressure and a bunch of other additives. We just want the straight ginger without having to boil fresh ginger from the market, etc. This is perfect for tea!!! We all use it here and now we can forgetabout the tea bags and just use the amount of this fine grind of organic ginger to satisfy each individual taste. Put the amount you want into a mug or a tea cup, pour boiling water over it and it practically mixes itself. It is delicious. PERFECT and simple.
Strong Fresh Ginger Taste and Smell
Posted by MarieMR on Jan 27, 2013
Just fantastic ginger especially knowing that it is organic with a real ginger taste and smell. Wonderful in cooking, in tea, for marinades and smoothies. Highly recommend. Will but again if iherb continues to carry.

Super product, tasty, rich, nicely strong. I am very happy with this one. I can reccomend it :-).
So fresh!
Posted by FondaLaShay on Jan 10, 2014
This smells so fresh and taste so good! I have been very impressed with Frontier's products, the quality is just so good! Will hopefully be buying this the rest of my life!

The Honolulu-based liner carrier will launch its South Pacific Express service in August, which will transport U.S. West Coast cargo transshipped at Honolulu to Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga and Fiji.
The French ocean carrier said it intends to have Singapore's Neptune Orient Lines delisted from the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange as it pushes forward to acquire all of the shipping company's shares.
A new port navigation system consisting of 12 off-shore buoys and two land-based range markers, will allow for night time operations at the Liberian port for the first time in three decades, APM Terminals said in a statement.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
French trucking operator Jacky Perrenot will acquire the container transportation activities of CMA CGM subsidiary Greenmodal Transport, according to a report from Lloyd's Loading List.
However, the International Maritime Organization's Maritime Safety Committee said there should be no delay in the implementation of the verified gross mass rule.
The U.S. Department of Transportation is looking into how delays at ports and other loading and unloading facilities may be affecting driver compliance with hours-of-service rules designed to increase safety.

Kerry and Putin hold Syria talks in Moscow
US Secretary of State John Kerry is holding talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Tuesday to discuss the crisis in Syria, reports say.
According to AFP, US officials said on Monday that both sides are "ready to engage on Syria".
Kerry's visit comes after Israel launched two air strikes in southern Syria, which sources say targeted weapons bound for Lebanon's Hezbollah. Russia condemned the attacks as threatening regional stability.
On Monday, UN investigator Carla Del Ponte said testimony from victims and doctors had given rise to "strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof" that Syrian opposition forces had used the nerve agent sarin.
The UN has since played down the claims.
The US has previously said that the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian conflict would be a 'game-changer', which could trigger military intervention.

Tridural (Tramadol) For Sale, In which I think about why I'm thinking what I'm thinking, and how.
One of the hazards of writing for a living is that one is occasionally asked, "Where do you get your ideas?"

Should you ever feel that your life is insufficiently peculiar, or that your hold on reality and sanity is, perhaps, overly firm, just try sitting still for a few minutes and try to figure out why you try to figure things out; you'll find that raging within you is a source of deep mystery, an enigma worthy of a lifetime of contemplation.
At least, that what I think.

Jerry Brightman, former pedal steel player for Buck Owens, passed away on March 9 at his home in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. He was 61 years old.
Buck Owens had a long tenure on the hit country music variety program 'Hee Haw.' But a new book reveals he privately disliked the show.
Buck Owens was one of the most celebrated and influential country musicians of all time.
Vince Gill has joined forces with one of the most celebrated instrumentalists in Nashville to pay homage to the musical influence of Bakersfield, Calif. on an upcoming album. The new disc sees Gill joining forces with steel guitarist Paul Franklin for a set of covers of songs made famous by Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, who pioneered the classic Bakersfield Sound.
Vince Gill announced earlier this year he was working on several new projects, including a bluegrass album.

Jocelyn Zhao, 6, daughter of Ming Jin of Canfield was out riding her bicycle like she normally does, with her safety helmet. Little did she know what was coming her way when she was spotted by a Canfield police officer.
The Canfield Police Department participates in the AAA Helmet Smart Program. The program involves police officers seeing a local child wearing a safety helmet when riding a bike. Jocelyn fell into that scenario when Officer Paul Laskey pulled her over and wrote her a "good" citation for being helmet smart. The citation was in the form of a coupon to either Subway or Cocca's Pizza.
"We partner with the AAA and local vendors to promote bicycle safety with an emphasis on helmets," said Officer Dean Vrancic. "When we see a child wearing a helmet, we stop and cite them with a free meal from one of our vendor-partners."
Jocelyn enjoyed a Subway meal and had part of her citation-coupon sent in to the regional AAA for Northeast Ohio. That part of the coupon was entered into a drawing for a new bike.
The drawing, held by the AAA, covers the entire northeastern part of Ohio. From the pool of returned coupons, one is drawn and this year, Jocelyn's name was picked. She picked up the bike earlier this month and last Friday, she rode it to the police station and showed it off to Vrancic.
"I like my new bike," she told Vrancic.
She demonstrated how well she could ride it and, of course, she was wearing her helmet.

Things continue to get worse for the Bills' defense.
DE Mark Anderson will miss "significant time" with a knee injury, GM Buddy Nix said Wednesday.
"We don't know exactly how long it'll be yet. We should know by tonight or first thing in the morning how long it'll be, but we do know that he's out right now," Nix told the team's website.
Anderson, who injured the knee in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, has 12 tackles and one sack this season. Chris Kelsay will likely start in his place.

This site is dedicated to easing your suffering
I believe knowledge is the most important aspect to realizing a healthy lifestyle. I strive to educate those interested in proactively participating in their own personal health and wellness encompassing physical, psychological and emotional components. I believe that everyone is unique, their biochemistry is unique, and therefore their journey to what health and wellness looks like for them to be as unique as they are.
We are meant to live well and to enjoy healthy and meaningful lives. My vision is to see everyone heal from their illness and symptoms. My vision is to see you get well and live the life you were meant to live so that you can spread your gifts, joy and love with others.
We are not meant to live a life of pain, misery, discomfort, sadness; we are meant to live a life of happiness and joy. I want to be of service to you so that you can in turn be in service to others; what a wonderful world this will be spreading joy and love.
My special Message to those inflicted with Crohn's Disease
I was once in your shoes. I used to suffer at the hands of Crohn's disease. I was not happy with my life, I hated constantly being in pain, l hated to have to do anything because my joints ached so bad, my constant low grade fever made it difficult to feel anything other than feeling down and out all the time. I lacked energy for work and family, people did not understand and did not want to be around me and, quite frankly I did not want to be around me either. I carried a change of clothing wherever I went, was always scoping out bathrooms and hoping there was a half decent clean stall. I hated the fact that I had to plan out starving myself so that I could get from point A-to-B without having to run for a washroom.
If you're one of the millions afflicted with a painful digestive issue, like Crohn's, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Ulcerative Colitis or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – then I want to offer you hope.
Crohn's disease. In case you are new to Crohn's disease or do not know what Crohn's disease is; Crohn's disease falls under the umbrella of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Crohn's disease affects about 1,400,000 people in the United States, 30 percent of whom are diagnosed as children. Men, women and children can be inflicted with Crohn's disease at any time. It was once believed that it was hereditary however there are instances where there is no family history connection.
I know how horrible it is to hit the wall, time and again. I've cried out, in pain and frustration, fatigued beyond the point of exhaustion. Sick and tired of being sick and tired and completely done with the embarrassment and shame of coping with an invisible disease in a world that neither understands nor accommodates.
For most of my life, if I was not sick on the couch, I was taking up space in a hospital ward. I was in the hospital so frequently that the nurses and doctors knew who I was even in civilian clothing. I spent just about every Christmas in the hospital and got really good at creating christmas chains out of magazines. The nurses would bring me rolls of tape to keep me going. What I did not know is there was a competition each year for the best decorated ward…guess which ward won every year? Yup the one I was in.
I was diagnosed with Crohn's my first year of College and the next four years were a whirlwind of pain, agony and sadness. It never seemed to get any better no matter what I did. And through the years I got sicker and more tired. Tired of my hair falling out, tired of wearing diapers to work, tired of work mates making fun of me or just plain being mean to me. I got tired of the prednisone moon-face, tired of the mood swings, tired of having two sets of clothing; one for on drugs and one off of drugs. I got tired of being sick-and-tired and skin and bones or so fat I was embarrassed to leave the house. I really just wanted to die; I would imagine ways of dying that would not involve a tremendous amount of pain. I was in a really deep dark place.
My darkness led me to wonder what it would be like to never suffer again with this debilitating medically incurable disease and the Universe provided me with my answers.
Wife | Mother | Guide
That moment of wonder brought me everything that I needed to heal. All I had to do was move beyond my limited beliefs and fear and take the next step. Something truly amazing happened. As I started to heal I felt better; I had tons of energy and pain was nonexistent.
The better I felt the more I wanted and the faster it came.
My whole perception about myself, others and life changed. My knowledge was expanding and I was becoming more open to other modalities of healing and something wonderful happened again; my confidence and belief in myself was growing. Because I learned to accept and love myself I started to attract others and events that allowed for this shift to grow.
Today, I am a wife to an amazing husband, and a mother and guide to 3 beautiful children (and two cats). I am able to live the fulfilled life I do today because I took responsibility for my health and chose to have the best life I can.
It didn't happen overnight. It took years to finally reach my goal, of living pain free without any symptoms or complications of the disease that once plagued my every waking moment.
But it happened; eventually I found exactly what I was looking for. Three years ago, I had a colonoscopy by my gastroenterologist. I read the words of that and my pathology report that proved I had truly changed my life forever…
"no evidence of Crohn's disease, inflammation, polyps, cancer."
I'm free and you can be too…
If you're ready and willing to say good-bye to suffering and step up to learn how to manage, control and conquer your affliction by addressing the physical, psychological and emotional components that contribute to it – you can do it too. If I can do this, I believe anyone can, all you need is the desire to want a better life, free of pain and misery.

More than a personal story
Now I don't want you to get the wrong idea. I'm not just someone who healed from Crohn's Disease; an incurable disease sharing my story and methods.
I'm a Certified Holistic Nutritionist and Therapeutic Lifestyle Educator, with years of active work and leadership in the field. My health career began with a degree in Applied Holistic Nutrition, from the world-renowned Institute of Holistic Nutrition in Toronto, Canada recognized and approved by the Certified Nutritional Practitioners Council of Canada and, the International Organization of Nutritional Consultants.
Graduating with Honors, I began to take full control of my own health, while teaching others to take responsibility of their lives. I've become an author, a speaker and an internationally recognized Nutritionist. I consult with clients and corporations and deliver workshops across Canada and the US. I am a proud member and serve as Board Director for The National Association of Nutritional Professionals.
My other credentials include; Early Childhood Education (ECE) Certification, Certified Nutritional Practitioner, Live Cell Microscopist, Capillary Puncture Technician, Homeopathy, Ayurveda Medicine, Somatic Intuitive Training, and Functional Medicine.
I do know I can help you with your journey
And now I am telling my story and giving back to those who are serious about their own healing journey from their illness; if there is a will there is a way.
I wanted to make sure that before I shared with you what I have learned to work for me I had to have the right credentials so that I can offer you the very best and latest research. There are some people out there that have come to a place of healing but lack the anatomy, physiology and pathology part of this rather complicated disease.
I know personally in my journey to wellness that I wanted someone who knew what the heck they were doing. After all I was a skeptic to begin with so I wanted to work with the right educated people. Being around those educated in the holistic field also fueled my desire to be the best I can be so that I too could be honored with the right knowledge.
I am always looking for fun, easy ways to inspire spark of interest in you taking responsibility for your health. I want to be of service so that you can apply the information found on my website such as informative blog posts, coaching, books, entertaining and fun videos and speaking engagements so that you can begin your journey to wellness and great health.
Everyone has the right to optimal health; all one has to do is want to live a healthier lifestyle free of pain, suffering and illness

No matter what happens in the big Floyd "Money" Mayweather vs. "Sugar" Shane Mosley bout on Saturday, it'll have a hard time topping the excitement on the new Champ Is Here 3 mixtape by Jadakiss and DJs Drama and Green Lantern. 'Kiss is already legendary, but the lines on this one are as immaculate as ever.
"The game is all Jada's/ Something hot drop, I get 'em in all flavors/ The Black Mamba of the vocals," he spits. "He's a di–, you a p—y, y'all neighbors/ The Black Mamba of the vocals/ MJ of the Pro-Tools, anti-social."
We don't need to say much more than that! Our money is Money May and of course 'Kiss. Shout to DJ Drama and Green Lantern who hosted this one on the tag team. It's a "Gangsta Grillz Invasion."
This Week's Main Pick
Street Kings: Jadakiss, Green Lantern and DJ Drama
Holding It Down For: Legendary hip-hop
Mixtape Album: The Champ Is Here 3
Real Spit: As promised, the biggest event in hip-hop right now is here: Jadakiss' Gangsta Grillz Invasion, The Champ Is Here 3. 'Kiss' collabo with Green Lantern and DJ Drama has been strategically planned to drop on the same day that Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley are getting it on in the ring: tomorrow, May 1. This time around, though, Jada isn't pushing an album (at press time he was only three or four songs deep into his next LP, Top Five, Dead or Alive).
"The regular formula for the first two was drop the mixtape right when I finished the album," Jada added. "I just shifted it on you this time: Give you the mixtape then go finish the album. Let you compare it with the albums that's coming out while I'm in the kitchen."
Kiss' mixtapes have been so dope, he's often found himself competing with himself.
"That's another reason why it's good to drop it before, so I won't have that problem," Jada laughed. "It'll just be creating pandemonium everywhere instead of competing with my own album. It might be better to do it this way. We gonna keep switching it around. We might do another one this way, but we gonna switch the pattern up so they can't follow."
Guests on the tape include Yo Gotti and Nicki Minaj — and that's just to start it off.
"We got some underground artists, some high-class artists, some of them good, down-bottom artists. It takes you all around. You definitely gonna rock out for Memorial Day, for the summer."
"There's some surprises on this joint, even with just his features," Lantern continued. "We never had features outside of the Lox. But we have some nice surprises."
Green and Jada have been rocking on this series since the start. They called Drama into the fold for the third.
"I got the phone call one day. Green been in [Atlanta] recently, invading the airwaves, invading the city," Drama told of his participation. "We been looking for a project to do for a couple years now. Green called and said, 'We making the mixtape game exiting again. It's fun. We're moving around brands. What do you think about coming on board for this Champ Is Here 3? It made perfect sense. I been on my New York sh– heavy. Green is in the A, 'Kiss being the legend he is — three very important and crucial brands in hip-hop. Stupid!"
Joints To Check For:
"Bang" "You know what I'm spitting already," Jada laughed. "That's self-explanatory. The content is just fight dialogue, workout dialogue, getting ready for the fight. What I'll do to you before or after the fight."
"Here I Go" (featuring Yo Gotti) "Yo Gotti is poppin," Jada said. "He's been doing his thing for a while in the South. I feel he's an underdog like me. He do his thing but he don't get the props he should get. Those are the people I rock with the hardest. He don't care, he knows what he's doing despite what anybody might think. I respect him for that."
"It's a problem man," Dram concurs. "We wanted to give them something they wasn't expecting and haven't heard. The beat on 'Here I Go,' it felt right. Mystikal is home. We used his beat."
"Who Shot Ya?" "Rest in peace B.I.G. Big shout to Nasheem," Kiss — who rapped over Biggie's classic track, said. "You can't really play with that. I took shots at y'all [the MTV Hip-Hop Brain Trust] on there … Not really, just getting y'all back. Big up to them ["Hottest MCs in the Game"] lists. I don't let them lists discourage me because the people who make the list, the people who's on the lists, [watch out for my] new album, Top Five, Dead or Alive."
"Listen," Green adds. "I heard it for the first time a couple of days ago. I had to stop for a minute. This is special. You just can't go regular on that beat, so I just stopped.

I have a "EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM" lens and want to attach a filter at the far end to prevent scratches to the lens. Can someone please tell me what filter to buy?
The front element is already a protective element on the 300mm f2.8 IS version 1 (factory replaceable) They did leave it off the newer one though.
