Megamillions Mess Has Everyone Confused
The Megamillions mess generated by the nearly $600 million prize drawing has many lottery participants bewildered. Several days ago, it was announced that three people in the United States had the winning numbers for Megamillions. But to date, not one person has come forward to claim their prize. This Megamillions mess is making many scratch their heads in confusion, because hey, who is actually going to turn down one third of a $600 million dollar pot?
The three tickets matched all six numbers: 2-4-23-38-46 and the Mega Ball, 23.
One woman who worked at a McDonald's in Maryland allegedly holds one of the winning tickets and was to contact lottery officials on Monday, per her now envious managers. But the woman never came forward and has not returned calls to us or any other press agency. People speculate if the woman holds the winning ticket and other co-workers of hers are claiming if so, they are owed a piece of the winnings because they bought a mass amount of tickets as a group.
The winners in Illinois and Kansas have not come forward to claim their prize as well. The winner in Kansas, if there is one, can remain anonymous but officials will know when the prize is claimed. In Illinois, the winner must be publicly announced.
If no one comes forward, it can be up to one year before it is to late for them to claim their prize. Some people are now asking if the winning 'numbers' generated were flukes from the Megamillions jackpot, so they would not have to give out a nearly $1 billion dollar pot. The plot thickens and the next drawing for Megamillions Tuesday will be down to more respectable levels of wealth from luck.

Horseshoe crab's eyes
The much abused horseshoe crabs (they are caught by the millions to be chopped up and used as fish bait) evolved quite an impressive set of eyes. They have them both on the top and on the sides of their carapaces as well on the bottom of their bodies.
While trying to photograph mating horseshoe crabs in Florida last week, I noticed how aware they were of approaching humans. Then I noticed what seemed to be eyes on their sides. This one was on the right side of a crab.
As you can tell, the lateral eye is a compound eye similar to the eyes of insects. The individual units, ommatidia, are visible. I don't know if these are the eyes the horseshoe crabs use to detect potential predators or if their other eyes also contribute to the task.
After a horseshoe crab dies, its hard carapace survives quite a long time; they are common objects on Florida beaches. The interesting thing is that the lateral eye is also immune to decay. Instead of turning into a depression or a hole on the side of the carapace, it retains even its compound structure. Here is the left lateral eye (~11 mm long) on the carapace of a long-dead horseshoe crab.
I don't know the function of the long, reddish-brown brow above the lateral eye.

Altair III

|Altair III
|Alternate name(s):
|Alpha Aquilae III, Atair III, 53 Aquilae III
|Altair Quadrant, United Federation of Planets
|Altair, Alpha Quadrant
|Dominant Species:
|Warp Capable:
Altair III was a planet, the third planet of the Altair star system located inside Federation space in the Alpha Quadrant of the galaxy.
Inhabitants and historyEdit
Altair III is homeworld to a native humanoid civilization, the Altairians.
The political situation in the Altair system was tenuous at the time of the 23rd century, with Federation diplomacy trying very carefully to keep fighting to a minimum between the inhabited worlds of this system. There was a long sustained conflict between Altair VI and Altair III that renewed itself around the year 2244, and would continue until the 2260s. Altair IV eventually declared independence from Altair VI in 2267, which sparked an escalation of fighting in the system. Federation peacekeeping forces eventually interceded, and Federation diplomats called for a cease-fire between all combatants, which was celebrated with much pomp and circumstance. When a new president of Altair IV was inaugurated at the end of the conflict, Starfleet placed the greatest emphasis on showing support by assigning three Constitution-class starships to observe the proceedings. (Last Unicorn RPG module: All Our Yesterdays: The Time Travel Sourcebook; FASA RPG module: The Federation; TOS episode & Star Trek 3 novelization: Amok Time)
The USS Hood visited Altair III in the early 2360s. Due to circumstances, Commander William T. Riker, the ship's first officer, deemed the situation too dangerous to allow the captain to accompany the away team. (TNG episode & novelization: Encounter at Farpoint)

Name: Milton Finch.
School: Clovis.
Position: RB.
Performance: Even though the Wildcats lost their season finale, 31-21, to Hobbs, Finch, a 6-foot, 203-pound senior, had another strong game rushing. He carried 21 times for 108 yards and a pair of touchdowns, scoring on runs of 1 and 9 yards. The team's leading rusher, Finch helped Clovis to a 6-5 record during his senior season.
Comment: "Milton ran hard, and the kids played hard," said Clovis assistant coach Mike Prokop. "It's been hard on Milton after our other running backs got hurt. Everyone was keying on him. He handled everything we threw at him; he carried the load. He made my linemen look good. It's just hard to win when you have eight injuries. Milton is a good kid. He's real quiet, you don't know he's there. He's a leader by example."

has anyone else noticed that everytime we have a C.M.E. from our sun we have a major earthquake on earth? I told my family to watch for an earthquake within the next 24 hours after the C.M.E. starting yesterday around 1pm EST and sure enough today we have this one. Am I on to something here or is this known already?

Jamie Carragher is in no doubt that Steven Gerrard is the greatest Liverpool player ever.
The defender has watched from close quarters during the last 16 years as a succession of stars etched their name into the club's record books.
Carragher is not short of Reds landmarks himself - the second-highest appearance maker with 721 games, for example.
But the 34-year-old regards his long-time teammate as simply the best.
"I think we are in the presence of the greatest player ever to play for Liverpool," Carragher said of Gerrard.
"People will say I am biased because we are good friends and because of the trophies we have won together, but it is a fair accolade to give him.
"There are guys like Kenny Dalglish, Graeme Souness, Ian Rush, all world-class players, but the difference was they were in a world-class team - and Stevie has not played in a world-class team.
"Stevie's one strength is he has no weakness, he can run, tackle, pass and score goals.
"Football is a team game, but special players do special things at special times, and that is Steven Gerrard."
Carragher has also reflected on Saturday's 5-0 thrashing of Norwich, with the new striking partnership of Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez each finding the target against the Canaries.
The early signs are promising according to the Reds vice-captain, who believes the arrival of Sturridge has provided a boost for the whole squad.
He told the Liverpool Echo: "Daniel looks a really good player and has linked up really well with Luis.
"Luis was in a slightly deeper role against Norwich, but it doesn't matter where he plays - he is a still a world class player.
"You could see the difference it made when Daniel came on against Manchester United, and then we scored five against Norwich.
"That's three games in a row he's scored now.
"It's not just about goals, although obviously that's an important thing for a striker. It's nice to have an extra body up there. Daniel gives us a bit more pace and strength in attack.
"You see the ball coming into him and he has that strength to hold the ball. He has great movement and has the pace to get in behind defences. He has a presence about him.
"If you look at Luis' record, he's one of the top scorers in the league this season.
"It's clear he is doing his job and it's up to others to chip in. With Luis coming from a deeper area, you still expect him to score goals and Daniel playing up top is also going to get goals.
"Signing a good player gives everyone a lift and raises the standards all around. Others have got to up their game to maybe displace him from the team.
"We all want to play in a team with good players. It's early days but it looks like a good decision by the club to bring Daniel in."
Sturridge's close-range finish from a Stewart Downing centre extended the 23-year-old's scoring run to a goal in each of his first three games for Liverpool.
The last man to achieve that feat was Ray Kennedy, 39 years ago, and Carragher was quick to joke about any comparisons between the two.
"If he does as well as Ray Kennedy here he will have done very well. I'm sure Ray Kennedy didn't do that stupid dance, though!" he laughed.

For years, experts have been recommending 30 minutes of activity on five or more days per week. But to lose weight, more activity is needed; the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)recommends 60 to 90 minutes per day. One study showed that people who lost an average of 72 pounds maintained their loss by exercising one hour per day. The 60 to 90 minutes can be a combination, say 30 minutes of walking, 20 minutes of strength training, 10 minutes of stretching and 30 minutes of household chores or gardening.
For general health purposes, experts recommend getting at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity (broken into 10 to 15 minute blocks, if necessary) three times a week. If getting even that much is a challenge for you, you should speak with your doctor about a safe way to push your exercise frequency, duration or intensity higher to spur weight loss.
Move Every Day
A single 24-hour period of inactivity can lead to a 25 percent increase in the amount of fat tissue and a 19 percent increase in the size of fat cells, according to University of Missouri-Columbia researchers who studied the effects of daily exercise and inactivity. Without a doubt, exercise and weight loss go hand in hand.

I don't post on here much but do read everyone's stories and appreciate your advice.
I am really hurting today and worried about my stress level on my baby boy.
I found out last night that my husband told my mom he is attracted to her and has a fantasy about her. My mom just went through a divorce and has been staying with us off and on. She never dresses sexy but is more fit than my 4th baby pregnant body. I feel so embarrassed and hurt. I don't know how I can face either of them ever again. I just am so grossed out I don't ever want him touching me again, how he could do that?

My Point on JK2 MP Saber Combat
View Single Post
Join Date
: May 2002
: 79
It's great to see that some ppl share ones opinion somewhat!! You brought things up I never even thought of so far!
Originally posted by cjais
Your idea on stamina is good, but i think that with blocking costing stamina, you'd see player backtracking because it's better not to parry when you are swung at because it costs stamina.
Movement should be reduced though, and stamina helps here. Backtracking should be reduced SEVERELY; so many games gets this thing wrong. I think that someone found at that you move 46 km/h in halflife, whether backtracking or not.
Backtracking and strafing must be reduced in speed it is impossible to go in these directions the same speed as when runing forward! What I don't get is that in SP you are slower strafing and backtracking. All movements should cost stamina. Normal running around should not cost much though. Running speed being reduced when swinging IS allready part of the game. They only need to bring g_sabermovespeed over to Multiplayer thats it. Try it for yourselves in single player. Bring down the console type helpusobi 1 and after that g_sabermovespeed 0.5. Fight a reborn, shadow trooper, Tavion or Desann and you will see that you should only be this fast while swinging the saber.
"Special" moves should be changed or reduced.
I just saw a monstrous example of this: An idiot used the lunge ONLY in his duels... And i mean ONLY, this guy was spamming it like you've never seen it before... Raven, please make it so that you can't do that move over and over and over and over again. Add a timer or something similar, so you'll have to wait a bit till you can use it again.
Yup the idea of an delay to that is great.
I do understand those that would like more control in what they do, however. Hence i see these spamming morons more and more. Add more special moves("finishing moves"), but don't make them that "special". NO extra damage and NO extra chance of hitting, but just a larger repetoire of cool moves to choose from.
Ya put even more cool acrobatic moves into the game that is totally ok by me but take out this non-blockable crap. Extra damage is not needed. A light saber is always very lethal end of it.
And lastly, get rid of blue stance and red stance. Blue stance is just too fast, you can't properly CONTROL where you are aiming and neither can the defender block properly, when all he sees is your flashing saber swinging all over the place.
Red stance is way too slow, you cannot convince me that someone would VOLUNTARILY strike THAT slow, it's utterly pathetic and would never happen. A red user would get completely butchered in a somewhat realistic saber duel.
I agree with you that "heavy" stance is pathetic. It is reversed logic as well! But I don't agree with you regarding the light stance. The speed feels right when I think of the fight against Maul (Had not the time to go watch Ep2 yet shame on me
). I think the right way would be to work on it to make it controlable. My idea would be to let it work on a 2 swing basis. Every time you attack with blue 2 swings are made automatically. By that I think you could have a control over the blue stance as you have with yellow!
Originally posted by TexRoadkill
I agree somewhat.
The stances are fine. I use a lot of Red and employing the right timing is crucial. I dont see what's wrong with slower more powerfull moves. Every game needs some balance and if fast moves were just as powerfull than that's all anybody would use. That would get boring very fast. I can stand there in Red and let Blue attacks smack at me for awhile. Then I just step back and hack them down.
Sorry can't agree with you regarding heavy stance. It is senseless that a slow swing does more damage than a fast one where is obviously more power envolved and apart from that cjais is right a red stance user would be butchered in reality! I don't think it will be boring at all. It will be exciting I'm sure of that. Remember what I wrote when Stamina is 100% blocking is 100% as well. That way the kill will only become likely when Stamina is low. And when this is so there is no need for stances that do different damage anymore because the kill will always happen at the very end of the battle and very very seldom before that. I think this will make epic battles possible.
I would love to see stamina added or combined with the Force. Since part of a jedi's stamina and physical ability is in his control of the force it would make sense that all Special moves should drain the force also. Around 30-50% sounds right to me. That would prevent spammers from push/pulling and then using a special move over and over.
Special moves draining force control sounds right to me too but it shouldn't be that much force control because a Jedi is so associated with his saber he doesn't need much force when using it in any way.
Originally posted by AV4T4R
here is my opinion
dont do an additional bar, but use the stamina in the Force bar!
( after all if u are exausted, u have not enough power to launch a lightning or the opposite, that's way using the force or his own body in combact it's just a physical/psychical action , both linked togheter )
_run should consume force
_rolls should consume force
_swinging should consume force only if blocked but parries not, ( only if u block a red stance ) couse the player who RISK to block enemy swings obetain ad advantage vs the player who only run away escaping ( so blocking could be a realistic strategy 1) find a way to hit the enemy from close range 2) decreasing enemy stamina in combact
Now this is just a fantastic idea. You are to right of course. Stamina should have an effect on the force control. I personally refer to the blue bar as FCB = Force Control Bar. As we all know force is eternal and always there (expect there is one of those ysalamiri :P). So this bar only shows the ability of the Jedi to control the force. Back to your idea. I think stamina should be really added to the game though. That is because the force control shouldn't be effected from the start. It should have an effect lets say when stamina reaches 60 or 50%. At this point the max possible force control should drop. And when the Jedi is worn out he only has 1/4 of his max force control available til he found some time to relax. And what is more I think a third bar is handable. Run and Rolls and swinging should consume stamina and when reaching that specific point the stamina should have an effect on the force control droping it.
just if raven will not accept to do that, please organize to make a MOD, it should not be too much difficult!
I really would love to see such a Mod coming. I'm sure it will hit the community as SBX did in JK but unfortunately I'm not the person with the needed ability to pull it of though
There are some points I would like to hear a comment for too. What do you guys think about being not totally defenseless while lying on the ground, standing up self controlled, saber being knocked of by chance when thrown, limited force use while saber fighting (only push and pull in midfight and high powered forces only when parting from the opponent)? Plz comment on this too!

Chaos, indignity, violation, indecency; all of these have resulted from government's supposed efforts to prevent chaos, indignity, violation, and indecency. And all of these iniquities come to every person traveling by air in the United States—even through Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport—courtesy of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a federal government agency that systematically drains $8.1 billion of perfectly good wealth from the American People and yet has failed to capture an actual terrorist.
After all of the uproar over enhanced security screenings of air passengers, any thinking person should wonder if now is the time.
With anger at government meeting and surpassing the levels during the Revolution, with a newly-elected Congress whose main promise was to reduce government interference in peoples' lives, with ballooning government deficits and out of control spending threatening to destroy the economic futures of every American and Minnesotan, could now be the time to abolish the TSA?
Abolition of the TSA will reduce government spending by over $8 billion per year; yes, that's money American taxpayers will get back. Abolition of the TSA will turn airports into more civilized places as blue-shirted agents hell-bent on inciting riots will be removed from already stressful and volatile situations. And abolition of the TSA will indeed make the skies safer since passengers will be demanded to step up and take responsibility for their situations and not be disempowered from doing so. Presently, the message telegraphed to passengers is that they should stand idly, defenselessly, and passively by awaiting their slaughter.
If all of those newly-elected Congressmen wish to be taken seriously about reducing government, then they cannot abolish the TSA quickly enough.

Major General Daniel E. Sickles, Union General during the American Civil War, held an interesting position before the war in London, England.
Sickles served as Secretary of Legation for James Buchanan, who was Ambassador to St. James in London from 1853 to 1856. It is said that Sickles was an embarrassment to the ambassador on several occasions. Buchanan later became the 15th President of the United States, serving the term directly ahead of Abraham Lincoln.
Sickles was no stranger to bizarre behavior. Most famously, he killed his wife's lover, Philip Baron Key II, son of the infamous Francis Scott Key, but was acquitted by reason of temporary insanity. It was the first use of the insanity defense in the country's history.
Sickles is best known in the war for his actions at Gettysburg, which were again controversial. His movement of the Third Corps, against the wishes of his commanding officer, led them into action from which they were annihilated. He lost his leg in the action at Gettysburg, later donating his amputated limb to the medical museum in Washington, DC. Later, on the anniversary of the amputation, he returned annually to visit the missing limb.
His determination following the war helped preserve the battlefield that today we know as Gettysburg National Battlefield Park. He served in U.S. Congress from 1857 - 1861 and then again from 1893 – 1895. He was appointed Minister to Spain and served from 1869 to 1874.
A New Yorker by birth, Sickles lived until the age of 94. He died in 1914 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Styling wasn't all that bad to begin with, though we always had issues with the last Vue's tiny grille and centralized lights that gave a cross-eyed look. Saturn has penned in some more European influence this time around. That's hardly surprising, since the new Vue is only a few badges removed from the Opel Antara. It still comes off as an individual while looking fresh with a high beltline, a tapered roofline and more substantial D-pillars.
Interior design - 7/10
In case you need affirmation of Saturn's place versus Cadillac's in GM's food chain, step inside the Vue. Not awash in luxury, but considering the price range and the intended mission, it's not out of its league either. Fit and finish have been embarrassing on past Saturns, but we're pleased to see improvement. The Opel connection is addressing this. The available two-tone leather and other surfaces avoid feeling desperately cheap. Most passengers will not hate you after a ride in the rear seats (second row only; no third row is offered, which is just as well). What keeps the Vue from scoring even higher is the compromised cargo room. Like the previous Vue, emphasis is on passenger room so it's not a huge surprise (although the fold-flat front passenger seat is a nice touch). Still, Saturn could have struck a better compromise without such a high load floor.
Sound system/goodies - 6/10
An acceptable level of standard equipment is found within, and the sound system is just that: acceptable. The six-speaker package includes an input jack, redundant steering wheel controls and an optional amp. Its speed-sensitive volume remains annoying, though. Compared with other systems, it's slower to react and then overreacts. In stop-and-go traffic, it's maddening. Otherwise, the Vue is well-equipped and has a competitive list of standard features for the price.
Bang for the buck - 15/20
Given the new looks, acceptable powertrain and competitive features, the '08 Vue is squarely positioned against competitors. No longer is it just a choice for those who want something a little different; it's a choice for anyone looking for a good value among crossover SUVs.
Driving experience - 12/20
Day-to-day commuting and schlepping may not do much for your pulse, and neither will the Vue. That's not necessarily a negative, since it responds to your inputs without much fuss. And in its redesigned form for '08, the driving experience is a little sharper. Skip the wheezy four-cylinder for one of the two V6s and you'll have a pleasant-behaving vehicle.
Overall score - 63/100
It's not the best, but it is better than before. With sharper duds to show off, the 2008 Saturn Vue works well in everyday life and looks nice doing it. The Saturn faithful should be pleased, and this might even attract a few import shoppers.
How did the Santa Fe compare?

Junior Jackie Varnum
Nov. 12, 2010
HOUSTON, Texas - East Carolina out-blocked Houston 9-7 Friday, but the Cougars went on to capture a 3-0 decision (25-19, 25-17, 25-14) at the Athletics/Alumni Center. The Pirates fall to 1-26 overall and 0-15 in league play while Houston improves to 18-10 and 12-4.
Junior Jackie Varnum recorded six kills to lead the offense while also putting up a career-best seven blocks. Sophomore Kelly Derby had a solid hitting showing, posting four kills on seven attempts with one error for a .429 mark. Defensively, junior Nicole Jones racked up a team-best nine digs.
The Cougars hit .250 in the match while holding East Carolina to .000 efficiency. Houston also had the advantage in kills (42-22), digs (39-28) and service aces (3-1).
ECU kept it close in the first set, trailing just 9-7 before the Cougars used an 8-4 run to establish some breathing room at 17-11. The Pirates would rally to within 18-15, but Houston proved too much in the end, eventually taking the frame by six points.
The Cougars went ahead 11-4 in the second interval on a kill by Ingrida Zauere and kept East Carolina at arms length the rest of the way. The Pirates came as close as 22-16 but Houston scored three of the last four points.
The third frame was tied at five before the Cougars put together a 12-3 run to build an insurmountable lead. With Houston ahead 21-14, ECU dropped the last four rallies to end the contest.
The Pirates are back in action tomorrow as they travel across town to face Rice. First serve is set for 8 p.m. at Tudor Fieldhouse.

R&B star Lloyd made some waves on 106 & Park recently when he showed off his new skull-wrapping tattoo of a number of interlocking guns and roses. What Lloyd said by way of explanation: "I'm a walking contrast. I go from hard to soft. I go from the guns to roses, which is in my tat, and I like to go from the streets to the sheets." What Lloyd did not say by way of explanation: "Man, Guns N' Roses are the greatest band of all-time! You ever heard Use Your Illusion II? That shit is crazy! 'Get in the Ring,' that's my motherfucking jam right there!"
Still, if one takes the time to permanently ink a pictoral rendering of a band's name—it's not like "Guns and Roses" is a particularly idiomatic expression outside of Axl and Slash and co—on one's skull, it's not totally unreasonable to think that one might be a fan of said band to some degree. So thought the New Times Broward-Palm Beach, anyway, when they caught up with Lloyd for a recent phoner, and decided to ask him for his GnR favorites. Here's how the conversation went:
New Times: What is your favorite Guns N' Roses song?
Lloyd: I can't think of any [laughs] at the moment. Give me a few.
What about stuff from Appetite for Destruction, like "Sweet Child o' Mine" or "Welcome to the Jungle"?
That's it. Gold. Right there. "Welcome to the Jungle," all that.
Well, at least he went with "Welcome to the Jungle" over the slightly overrated "Sweet Child o' Mine." Still, it looks like debating the finer points of the "Estranged" video would be a discussion unfortunately lost on Lloyd. When it comes to pop stars proving that they own the most basic of expertise over pop culture subjects, today simply isn't getting off to the best start.

Amazingly, this character also appeared in other media, having a fairly healthy role in Bruce Timm's Superman animated series. He was typically used as the "police liaison", when the story warranted their inclusion. His most notable appearance might have been in the 3-part depiction of Batman and Superman's first meeting, "World's Finest".

About Crosby Hoots
My name is Crosby.
I was born on January 7th, 2013, and I am the son of Phillip and Gina Hoots. I have been diagnosed with Biliary Atresia, which is a rare disease of the liver and bile ducts that occurs in infants. This disease prevents me from gaining weight, growing like other babies my age, and gives me worsening jaundice. My condition has worsened to the point where my doctors at St. Louis Children's Hospital in Missouri have recommended a life-saving liver transplant to make me well. Update: I got my perfect liver on June 14th, 2014 just in time for Father's Day! I am currently recovering at home.
In Mt. Zion, volunteers are raising funds for COTA in honor of transplant patients like local baby, Crosby Hoots. A goal of $50,000 has been set to assist with immediate and future medical bills. With your help, this goal can be achieved. All donations are fully tax-deductible and are administered by COTA. There are no administrative costs and 100% of all money raised goes directly to uncovered transplant-related expenses.
Thank you for caring.
Crosby Steele Hoots
Please keep yourself updated on Crosby's journey to his life-saving liver transplant in the blog section!

My first game for SNES emulator, I like this game so much, partially because I'm also a Gundam fan. In term of gameplay however, this game is one of my favourite fighting game back then. The graphics are good, and the BGM are catchy (especially Tallgeese, Sandrock and Epyon BGM). The game system itself is quite simple, and fun to play, especially against other human player.
In this game, we choose between 9 pre-existing mobile suits (MS) to fight our way through in Story Mode, or to survive as long as we can in Trial Mode.

Lee Konitz & Richie Kamuca: Tickle Toe
Tickle Toe
Lee Konitz (tenor sax)
The Lee Konitz Duets (Milestone)
Lee Konitz (tenor sax), Richie Kamuca (tenor sax).
Composed by Lester Young.
Recorded: New York, September 25, 1967
Rating: 98/100 (learn more)
Lee Konitz and Richie Kamuca both sat in the sax section of the Stan Kenton Orchestra from 1953 to '54, but in the ensuring decade recorded together only once, on Kenny Burrell's 1965 Guitar Forms. Still, it's no surprise to find them playing "Tickle Toe" on a record where Konitz engages various duet partners in a broad repertoire ranging from a Louis Armstrong song to an abstract improvisation with Jim Hall. The reason it's no surprise is Kamuca's and Konitz's shared love for Lester Young. This even brings Konitz to leave his usual alto sax in order to play the tenor (for the first time on record!), as did his idol.
Two tenors blowing on a Count Basie warhorse from the good ole times when Prez and Hershel Evans or Buddy Tate were neighbors and rivals on the tenor bench? Surely this smells of chase or tenor battle. But not at all: these two heirs are like brothers, first exposing the theme in unison before indulging in a swift counterpoint. Konitz, in the right channel, has a perfectly recognizable phrasing that doesn't change much from his usual one on alto, and tends to favor high notes. Kamuca's tone is typically harsher and virile, descending more often into the low register. They intertwine their lines in a delightful, easygoing way. To make this homage complete, their parallel melodic lines meet again in a unison when they tackle, note for note, the very chorus that Prez played on "Tickle Toe" in its historic 1940 version with the Basie Band, and that Lambert, Hendricks & Ross sang in 1958, with Basie and his band again, using words penned by Jon Hendricks. Konitz and Kamuca give us a truly Prezidential tribute on their toe-tickling instrument of choice.

"The Meteor Man"
Soundtrack Review
Music By Cliff Eidelman
Intrada Special Collection Vol. 274
38 Tracks/Disc Time: 69:55
Grade: B-
"The Meteor Man" was released over 20 years ago and it was one of those comedies that was really lost in the shuffle of that summer of 1993 where films such as "Cliffhanger", "The Firm", "The Fugitive", "Sleepless In Seattle" and "Jurassic Park" ruled throughout. The film was a spirited and original comedy pretty much in the vein of "Superman" with a major difference in that its' hero is African-American which was a very positive thing and the film reflected that highly. The film which was written and directed by comedian Robert Townsend, who also stars as Jefferson Davis, a caring but loser of a schoolteacher working in an rough and tough inner city Washington D.C. neighborhood who pretty much gets stepped on by almost everybody including a dangerous gang called the Golden Lords whose members are easily recognizable by their golden blonde hair. One night after being chased by the gang, Reed is stuck in an alley where he's then stuck by a green meteorite and soon he starts to gain strange new super powers in which he uses to do good himself and the community as the newly dubbed superhero "Meteor Man" who starts to beat the Golden Lords at their own game. The film was not a hit but it's affectionate charm did lead to alot of positive reviews helped in part by the who's who of African-American television and movie stars that lend a great able hand to the film that include Oscar winner James Earl Jones, Marla Gibbs, Robert Guillaume, Sinbad, Eddie Griffin, Don Cheadle and even Bill Cosby himself. The film also featured the first ever appearance of Chris Tucker and several popular singers and rap artist of the time made special appearances that include the late Luther Vandross, Naughty By Nature, Cypress Hill, Another Bad Creation, and Nancy Wilson.
While the film was loaded by popular rap groups and contemporary artists of the era, the film still needed a musical score that would propel not only the storyline, but really reenforce the comedy, drama and the heroics of the "Meteor Man's" crime fighting. This is where composer Cliff Eidelman came in with inenviable task to creating superhero music, but superhero music with a heart. Eidelman who's star really rose when he was chosen for the plum assignment of orchestrating the musical send off of the original "Star Trek" crew in "Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country" and after writing two inspired comedy scores in "Crazy People" and "Delirious", he was the right choice for this film and the score that he wrote ranks amongst his best.
The album opens "Main Title" with a rather heroic buildup just as John Williams had done with "Superman", Eidelman utilizes a choir and the power of the orchestra to create a great original fanfare that would become the signature theme of the score. Eidelman underscores the heroic material utilizing his fanfare with solid results as featured in the tracks "Cleaning Up The Hood", "Ultimate Hero", "Off To Work" and "Offensive Plan" that do show alot of fun spirit of what the score is about along with some really excellent action tracks that are very Williams-esque in tone (for the most part) in "Meteor Spill", "Karate Duel", "Jeff Catches Bullets", "The Imposter", "Jeff Protects Dad" that are purposely and musically over the top and the Elfman inspired "Blood And Crips Unite", "Emergency Meeting" and "Double Cross", that are very memorable and make up the very essence of the solid base this score has all around. Eidelman does have fun with the material in the overly comidic "Jet Magazine" and shows off his deft dramatic touch in "Mrs. Walker", and "Jeff Says He'll Leave" featuring some very tender piano and trumpet solos that usually made up Eidelman's style at the time and are still very refreshing to this day.
Intrada's debut album for this long awaited score has been 20 years in coming one in which soundtrack collectors and fans of Eidelman's have been wanting for sometime. The score is everything that you could want in a superhero like score despite some obvious temp tracking that I personally noticed on some later tracks that aren't that bad or disrupt Eidelman's original work. The score is inspired and fun and the closest to a superhero like film that he was able to score since he's been languishing on romantic or serious dramas over the last 20 years. It's refreshing to hear this album and score after that long a period and wonder what could've been if Eidelman's stock had risen if the film was a success and he'd been able to do more scores such as this one. As is, "The Meteor Man" is a rock solid (excuse the pun!) energetic and fun effort that stands a true testament of Cliff Eidelman's excellent untapped versitility. Recommended thumbs up!

One listen to Mangoseed and you'll be inspired and hooked. A dynamically charged group centered on a funky, reggae vibe with thought-provoking messages, Mangoseed's latest release, Basquiat, is a musical melting pot. Opening with "Lioness," the band's lead vocalist, Nicholai La Barrie takes to the microphone along with Karlos Coleman, Richard Hardy, and Sam Campbell to create an immediate and in your face sound that is distinctive and catchy. The song is about a woman who has the qualities of a lion, ferocious but breathtaking to look at and know. With "Brix-tone," Mangoseed take their cue from Red Hot Chili Peppers in incorporating a hip-hop vibe around the musically tinged lyrics. One key element among many that distinguishes Mangoseed from other bands are the striking guitars that provide an in-depth edginess.
On "I Shoot My Friends," infuse an interesting vibe a la Bob Marley with a story similar to "I Shot The Sheriff," whereas "She Is All" tones the upbeat melodies down with a hauntingly tune that is quite infectious and poetic. "This Life," will undoubtedly become a favorite among listeners. La Barrie's vocals fit both the sounds that encompass the songs and the lyrics he recites. The album's finale, "Army of One" is full of funky originality and creativity that furthers Mangoseed's fascinating take on music.
Mangoseed adds that "the album is inspired by the work and spirit of Jean- Michel Basquiat. His use of old and new, his focus on suggestive dichotomies and rebellious ability to use any influence in his work. In Mangoseed terms that means that we have pulled form all the genres that we love, all the artists and bands that have inspired us and lead us to create music and made unique homage to them, so Red Hot Chili Peppers, Wu-Tang clan, the Watts poets and Bjork meet in the same track and hopefully it becomes an homage to all of them but also taking the inspiration form those artists and many more to create our own idea our own flavor." A South London band, Mangoseed was formed from an assortment of jam sessions, live gigs and the like. A commanding blend of energetic elevated thought, Mangoseed is one band whose music is unmistakably unique.
Final Grade: A

It doesn't weigh my hair down at ALL - besides the positive results, I can't tell there's any product sitting in my hair.

UMass Football Will Leave Mid-American Conference at End of 2015
March 26, 2014
AMHERST, Mass. - The University of Massachusetts announced today that it will end its football affiliation with the Mid-American Conference (MAC) following the 2015 season.
Athletic Director John McCutcheon said the decision was made after the MAC President's Council elected to exercise a contract clause that offered UMass a choice of becoming a full member for all sports in the MAC or opting to remain a football-only member for just two more years. The university has been conducting a study of its current and potential conference alignments with the assistance of Carr Sports Consulting.
"While the report is not complete," McCutcheon said, "we believe full membership for all sports in the MAC is not a good fit for us. Because most of the MAC schools are in the Midwest, the additional travel would strain our athletic budget and pose considerable time management challenges for our student athletes. We are confident that, within the next two years, we will find a more suitable conference for our FBS football program."
Currently, UMass Amherst has 21 varsity athletic teams (10 for men, 11 for women). Football plays in the MAC and the other 20 teams compete in the Atlantic 10 Conference, Hockey East (men's ice hockey) and the Colonial Athletic Association (men's lacrosse). UMass began playing as a football-only member of the MAC in 2012.
McCutcheon said, "We remain committed to FBS football. Many institutions have successfully navigated this challenging period of conference realignment and we will do the same."
Football coach Mark Whipple expressed confidence in the future of the university's FBS program. "I was aware of this possibility when I accepted the position of head coach, and I believe this move is in the university's best interest. My focus is on building a program that we all can be proud of and that provides a great experience for our student athletes."
Whipple, the coach with the most wins in UMass football history, returned to the helm of the program this year. The Minutemen's 2014 home schedule includes three games at refurbished McGuirk Alumni Stadium in Amherst in addition to three games at Gillette Stadium.

A fter more than six decades operating from its location on Stewart Avenue, Anchorage Marina is moving to a new and larger building in Nanaimo.
Rick Rispin, the long-time owner of the business which specializes in marine equipment and supplies, said more space is needed for Anchorage Marina's distribution and parts department so the company is in the process of moving to 2350 Dorman Rd.
The VanderVeldt Investment Group of Nanaimo is the new owner of Anchorage Marina's old location and spokeswoman Maria VanderVeldt said the company will carry on the traditions and legacy of Anchorage Marina into the future under the new banner of Anchorage Marina Village.
"It's a huge move for us and we have to have it completed within four months, which is difficult because nothing has been thrown out in decades," Rispin said.
"We're looking forward to operating from our new location and we wish the new owners, who have been busy freshening up the place, well as they move forward with their plans for our old site."
Barb Dietsche and Heidi Hunter are bringing decades of experience in bookkeeping and office services to small and medium-sized businesses in the mid-Island region through their new company, H B Horizon Business Solutions.
Dietsche said the new company is geared toward providing local business owners with the resources required to determine the financial well-being of their enterprise and to assist them in their financial growth, management decision-making process and overall financial stability and success.
"Basically, we provide our clients with the highest standards of service with the goal of assisting them in achieving a successful and thriving business," she said.
"There's definitely a growing need in the mid-Island region for the services we offer. The economy is growing and a lot of small and medium-sized businesses are merging or growing as well."
For more information, call 250-248-2429 or email email@example.com.
The pretzel man of Nanaimo will be featured on an episode of CBC's popular Dragons' Den, to be aired on Nov. 28 at 8 p.m. Michael Gerbert, owner of Twisted Mister's Soft Pretzels, successfully auditioned to be on the show last spring in his quest to seek an investment from the Dragons to help turn his homemade pretzel-making business into a national franchise.
He said he's not at liberty to discuss whether he was successful in acquiring interest and investment from the Dragons. People will have to watch the show to see, but he said it was a "wonderful experience" just to be on the program.
"My product will be on national television so how can I not feel good about that?" he asked.
"I believe the market is there to make this into a successful franchise."

Engineered Systems: Faster Than the Speed of Thought
By Oracle OpenWorld Blog Staff on Oct 03, 2011
By Margaret Harrist
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison Keynote Coverage: Oracle OpenWorld Show Daily
The power of parallel-everywhere architecture was the theme of Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's first keynote of Oracle OpenWorld 2011. "Our goals with Exadata and Exalogic were to achieve high performance—faster than IBM's fastest—and provide the lowest and best cost/ performance," Ellison said. "How would we do that? Through parallel everywhere."
Instead of one big server, Oracle Exadata and Oracle Exalogic include multiple separate servers in one box, with database and storage servers interconnected, and InfiniBand moving data from database servers to storage servers. For customers, it delivers a number of advantages, Ellison said, including that it is inherently fault-tolerant. "If a database server fails, you don't care. If a storage server fails, you don't care," he said. In addition to parallelism, Oracle's other focus is data compression. Ellison pointed out that Oracle Exadata's compression capabilities mean that customers can move data 100x faster and save significant money on disk storage.
"Of course, my favorite customer story is SoftBank. They replaced 35 racks of Teradata with three Exadata racks, and saw performance eight times faster using one tenth of the energy," Ellison said. Ellison also highlighted another engineered system introduced by Oracle last week—the SPARC SuperCluster T4-4, which expanded the parallel-everywhere focus to SPARC architecture and the Oracle Solaris operating system. He pointed out that the new SPARC T4 processor is faster for Java applications than IBM's Power7 microprocessor.
"We want to take IBM on in processor performance," Ellison said. "When we first bought Sun, a lot of people said we would get out of the hardware business. I guess we didn't get the memo." Finally, Ellison announced Oracle's newest engineered system: the Oracle Exalytics Business Intelligence Machine, which provides extreme in-memory analytics performance. Ellison said Oracle Exalytics handles relational and multidimensional data and analyzes unstructured data—in any combination—at the speed of thought. The new machine clocked an average response-time improvement of 18x, and a 23x improvement when used with Oracle Exadata.

What are the great themes of world history up to 1492? How about 1492 to 1933? OK, 1933 to the present?
OK, maybe something closer to home. How's your understanding of the causes of the Whiskey Rebellion? Why was the battle of Midway important? Who was D.W. Griffith, or John Nance Garner?
If you don't know, you'll likely survive but you might want to bone up a bit more on your history. If you do know, and are a current or incoming Cheney Middle School student, you should look up history teacher Daniel Hilliard because he might have a chance for a slot for you on next year's History Bee team...

Benvenuto heading to Nationals in AprilConstruction apprentices from around the state gathered to demonstrate their knowledge and craft skills at the recent 2012 ABC of Wisconsin Construction Skill Competition held in Wisconsin Dells. Apprentices were able to compete in their area of study, including plumbing, carpentry, HVAC, electrical and sheet metal.
Tyler Benvenuto of West Bend took first place in the electrical contest. Benvenuto is an electrical apprentice student at Moraine Park Technical College and is employed at Gillitzer Electric Services, Inc., out of West Bend.
"Tyler's been an interesting person to have in class," said Mike Gradinjan, Tyler's electrical instructor at Moraine Park. "I'm really into the theory — understanding what electricity is and how it behaves, and then applying that to the mechanics and various codes we deal with. Watching Tyler put that together is a joy. I'll see members of his class watching him as he works through something in his mind and then respond with an answer that's right more often than not."
The competitors were rated on skill, workmanship, safety and efficiency. The written, safety and practical scores were then combined to determine the top three competitors in each trade. Because Benvenuto is a first place winner, he will go on to compete at the ABC National Craft Championships in San Antonio, Texas, this April."The ABC skills competition was a great experience, and I am really looking forward to the national competition in Texas," said Benvenuto. "I have a great base of knowledge thanks to the apprenticeship program at Moraine Park. I hope that this, combined with the wide range of on-the-job training I have received, will help me succeed in the national competition.""Being a construction electrician has components that are a little like factory work, where you do the exact same thing the exact same way every day," said Gradinjan. "The great part of the job is that you encounter different circumstances and obstacles in varying environments all the time. This is what the Skills Olympics are designed to assess, and it's little wonder Tyler will be representing ABC Wisconsin in San Antonio."Moraine Park had a second place finish in carpentry from Phil Heffner of Fond du Lac, an apprentice student employed at Northcentral Construction Corporation out of Fond du Lac. Other apprentice students who participated include Jason Krieger of Mayville, John Leister of West Bend, Cory Prachel of Princeton, and Jason Wiedmeyer of West Bend.For more information on Moraine Park's apprenticeship programs, visit morainepark.edu/programs.

Moths versus fireweed State uses biological control to help protect pastures
Hawaii ranchers are getting buggy, and farming miniature "livestock" is generating a great deal of hope.
Kahua Ranch President Tim Richards said his 8,500-acre ranch on Kohala Mountain has been rearing the Madagascan fireweed moth, Secusio extensa, for a month in incubators with help from state Department of Agriculture entomologists and experts from the University of Hawaii's Mealani Experiment Station. It takes 40 to 45 days for an egg to become an adult moth, Richards said.
The small, beige-colored moth will be used to help control a fast-growing invasive weed known locally as fireweed, or Madagascar ragwort, that's toxic to livestock and has caused havoc on the state's prime pastureland.
On a rainy, windy Wednesday morning, roughly 200 moth larvae, or caterpillars, were released in a 3-foot-tall enclosure, covering an approximately 5.5-foot by 5.5-foot area of fireweed on Kahua Ranch and. Throughout the day, an additional 800 larvae were released in similar enclosures at Ponoholo Ranch and Parker Ranch, said Darcy Oishi, the Department of Agriculture's Biocontrol Section chief.
Other releases are planned elsewhere, including on Maui in a few weeks.
Since the late 1980s, fireweed has been an increasing problem and has infested more than 850,000 acres, primarily on Hawaii Island and Maui. With the support of ranchers and others, the Department of Agriculture is planning to release more than 1 million moths a year, Oishi said. A rearing and release program has been developed in collaboration with ranchers, Department of Agriculture, and the UH College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources. Those interested in getting involved locally should contact the Mealani Experiment Station in Waimea, he added.
The fuzzy black larvae voraciously eat fireweed leaves — something they did "with great vigor" in controlled conditions of the state's quarantine laboratory, said Mohsen Ramadan, the Department of Agriculture's exploratory entomologist. During tests, the moth only fed on the fireweed and other weeds, making it appropriate to release. The moth could be raised with ease, so much so that they were released in buckets Wednesday, he added.
How the moth will respond in nature, such as the cold, remains to be seen. The Department of Agriculture plans monthly monitoring of release sites and moving enclosures as the infestation of moths increases, Oishi said.
Ramadan was proud of his "babies," which he discovered in southeastern Madagascar and has researched with his colleagues for more than a decade. He called Wednesday's release "a great and happy day for Hawaii, which is the first to release a biocontrol agent against fireweed in the world."
Ramadan said this insect is not the save-all-answer to the fireweed problem. The moth will not eliminate the fireweed. Instead it will slow the weed's progress in taking over vast areas. He said the department is also testing three to five other potential natural enemies of fireweed for future release. Each of the insects appears to attack different parts of the plant.
Oishi also stressed the moth was not the silver bullet, but "another tool and a new day" to manage and control the weed, and help preserve Hawaii's ranching heritage. He said current research methods thoroughly test potential biocontrol agents prior to release to ensure they only attack the target and not other native or beneficial plants or animals. "It's a safe, highly scrutinized, solid process," he added.
Prior to the moth's release, fireweed had no natural predators in Hawaii. It is believed the weed came to the island in mulching material imported from Australia, where it's a serious pest. Resistant to drought, each plant produces approximately 30,000 seeds annually that are easily spread. If left unchecked, officials had estimated fireweed could spread to an additional 1.5 million acres in the next 10 years, Richards said.
In certain areas, the noxious weed has reduced forage production by as much as 60 or 70 percent. In other pastures, there has been a 20 percent reduction, Richards said.
The invasive plant contains alkaloids. When ingested by livestock, it causes liver damage or failure and, in severe cases, death, particularly of young animals. The disease is progressive, with symptoms and death occurring weeks or months after consumption. However, sheep, which ranchers have used as a control method, are able to tolerate the poisoning because they possess a bacteria that detoxifies the alkaloids before absorption, Richards said.
For years, ranchers have been losing the battle against fireweed, using chemical and mechanical means in an attempt to control it. But because of the immense and widespread infestation, those methods are expensive and impractical, Oishi said.
Early on, Richards said the Hawaii Cattlemen's Council agreed biocontrol was the only feasible long-term option for fireweed control. The council funded the first exploratory trips by state entomologists to search for the best biocontrol agent, which began in 1999.
Hawaii Department of Agriculture officials and ranchers repeatedly praised the release Wednesday as an exciting joint collaborative effort between them and the University of Hawaii.

I looked away,
The other day,
Growing up slowly.
Have you ever herd me
Laugh so easily,
It's cos I'm growing up slowly.
Oh, Viktoria (x4)
Me and my confidence,
We're now more than friends,
We're growing up slowly.
She lives in me,
She whispers when I sleep,
She says "you're growing up slowly"
Oh, Viktoria (x4)
I have let go of my daemons,
They left me when I sang the truth,
No bulges I'm finally even,
I can break all my rules.
When I was ten,
My mother changed my name,
She said "you're gonna grow into it"
It took quite some time,
But today it feels like mine.
I guess I grew slowly.
Oh, Viktoria (x8)
I have let go of my daemons,
They left me when I sang the truth,
No bulges I'm finally even,
I can break all my rules.

The BYOC Problem ... GTB Technologies Raises the Data Loss Prevention bar, again...
Today, Cloud providers allow individuals (maybe your employees) to create powerful computing environments, in the cloud, by creating their own virtual, private machines. Can your DLP solution detect this?
"Organizations must be attentive to the risks associated with the availability of these private cloud services, whether they choose to move to the cloud or not"
Cloud providers allow individuals (maybe your employees) to create powerful computing environments, in the cloud, by creating their own virtual, private machines. Users may choose from a wide variety of Operating Systems such as, any flavor of Windows, Unix or other Virtual Machines (VM). It takes only minutes for these individual, private computers to be created in a virtual environment.
When such machines are available, individuals may copy data from their own home or work machine to their virtual "cloud" machine by Copy & Paste or Drag & Drop. Such actions are mostly done utilizing the HTTPS protocol but often we see Cloud providers using Secure RDP.
The Problem - "Bring Your Own Cloud" (BYOC)
These private virtual environments create a vast problem for organizations as there is no visibility to such protocols. Employees can now just copy/backup their entire C drive to these private, virtual cloud repositories within a few minutes.
"Cloud computing has many benefits to the enterprise; nevertheless, organizations must be attentive to the risks associated with the availability of these cloud computing services, whether they choose to move to the cloud or not." says Wendy Cohen, GTB Technologies Vice President.
How is an organization able to monitor such activities and BLOCK secured Data (Intellectual Property, such as Source Code) from being copied?
The Solution

· Secure RDP & VNC filters for full cloud protection
· WBXML (MS Exchange active-synch) support for detecting emails from Exchange to smart devices
· IMAP protocol filter
· NNTP protocol filter
· SNMP support
· Full support for fingerprinting and protecting Salesforce data
· CEF implementation for full ArcSight SIEM integration
· Support for additional pre-defined International Privacy Policies
GTB Technologies state-of-the-art, content-aware Data Loss Prevention/Extrusion Prevention platform, highlights the detection & protection of intellectual property such as source code, classified information, design documents or any sensitive data. GTB's Data Leak Platform provides an enterprise the ability to prevent unauthorized data extrusion from the organization; the most difficult data to detect & protect and is usually the target of unknown APT attacks.

Adam Carolla podcast with me up now
This was a really fun podcast to do. I've always enjoyed doing Adam's radio show, but it was especially cool talking to him uncensored. He's a really interesting, smart dude, and this is the perfect format for him. Someday we'll all have an internet connection in our cars and this really will be the future of radio. The old companies are outdated, and with the advent of new technology anyone with something interesting to say can have an audience. You don't need a gigantic machine behind you, you just need the same technological infrastructure that everyone else can also enjoy.
This is a huge moment in our societies history – for the first time an independent person can easily reach millions of people. You can actually reach more people than you can with television because really it's available to anyone with a connection. It's only going to get crazier and crazier from here on out, too. Information is moving at an incredible pace.
Go to Adam's site to listen to the audio. I had a really fun time as a guest on his show, and I'm gonna be a regular listener now. Adam is really awesome in this format. Here's the link: http://www.carollaradio.com/

Last night The Florida Music Festival (FMF) kicked off with the tenth edition of The 2014 Florida Grammy Showcase at Firestone Live in Orlando. Throughout the night there was one word being used over and over to describe the night as it was unfolding – fun.
The six finalists, Orlando bands The Cold Start, Good Luck Penny, Carly Jo Jackson and Tayler Buono and Central Florida bands Variance and Geri X, were chosen out of over 300 entries to showcase for this event. Each artist was allotted only a 10 minute set to perform before the industry executives and music fans in the audience.
First up was the Orlando (via the UK) based The Cold Start. The band's high-energy, ultra catchy Indie rock music drew fans to the stage right from the start. Then it was time for captivating, danceable pop tunes with Tayler Buono and her band.
The two-piece band Geri X was up next with their stark, steady rhythmic folk music. After their set, it was time for singer/songwriter Carly Jo "crazy pants" Jackson. With Chris Rodriguez on drums, Jackson's music surges to a whole new energy level live.
Next up was the alternative finesse of the female fronted band Variance from St. Petersburg. Closing out the night was Good Luck Penny. The seven piece country band shifts lead vocals between three members in a dynamic performance that included their song "Highway Honeymoon."
After the live performances were finished, it was time for host WJRR's Supa Dave to announce the grand prize winner. Second runner up was Good Luck Penny, first runner up was Carly Jo Jackson and the grand prize went to Tayler Buono. As the grand prize winner, Buono and her band got to perform two more songs for the attendees.
The Grammy member VIPs, performers, the musicians and music fans in attendance were all there having a very good time. From the poses in front of the Grammy backdrop to the stage manager dancing and joking through the band set ups and everything in between, it was obvious the mood was light and fun was on the schedule.

At this late date in the Age of Celebrity Scandal, how is that stars keep allowing their friends to videotape them engaging in illicit activities?
We don't blame Miley Cyrus for indulging in a bongload of whatever she's depicted ingesting in the video posted by TMZ earlier today. (The Age of Celebrity Scandal doesn't pay for itself, people.)
But we definitely have to wonder why she didn't tell her pal with the camera to shut it off before lighting up.
