I have purchased two types of ankle weights. The first type was made by Gold's Gym (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Gold-s-Gym-10-lb.-Pair-Adjustable-Ankle-Weights/14894523?sourceid=1500000000000003260410&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=14894523) I started with 2 pouches in each leg. They lasted for about a week. The seam tore on one and when i got home from jogging, i had two pouches in one and onlly 1 pouch in the other. Next, i purchased velco leg weights by Fitness gear (http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3779297&cid=CSE:GooglePlusbox) No pouches in these. Each one was filled with 5 pounds of little beads. Wore them twice. Once again, the seam tore and all the beads on one poured out. Naturally, i didn't save the receipt or box for either one.
I need to know what type i can buy that'll stand up to jogging. I don't want to spend another $25 on a set and have them tear open while jogging. For now, i am back to using the Gold's Gym set. I used tons of duct tape to seal of the seams. Look bad but they do the job. Any recommendations.
Of course you can make up your own mind about running with ankle weights, but be aware that it may not be such a good idea. There are a lot of intricate biomechanics involved in running and adding an unnatural strain to your legs while running is potentially harmful. Running in and of itself is sufficient to achieve your fitness and performance goals. I don't think it is worth risking an injury (and making an enjoyable activity less enjoyable!) to wear ankle weights.
The additional effort that goes into exercising with ankle weights can actually make you weaker and more prone to injury. Ankle weights cause added stress to joints, especially the knees. Torn ligaments and pulled muscles in the calves, thighs, and ankles can also be caused by exercising with ankle weights. According to the Mayo Clinic, walking with ankle weights changes how a person normally walks. This destabilizes balance and increases the risk of tripping and falling. An easy rule of thumb to follow is that ankle weights and aerobic exercises do not mix. Although ankle weights seem perfect for running and walking exercises, many health experts agree that walking with ankle weights is a risky activity.
Stop running with ankle weights, your chance for long term injury far outweight your benefit!!!
Hmmmm....two responses say to not use ankle weights when jogging. How do i get faster then? I'd have thought that resistance increases speed and when the time comes for a 5k i'd be faster w/o them since i was going to spend weeks wearing them.

You can't increase endurance by continually running the same distance and you can't increase speed by continually running the same pace. If you want to get faster it takes speed work. Tempo runs and fartleks. Google them to learn more.
By adding miles and intensity to your training. Lots of dos and don't to help stay injury free here are a couple:
Good pair of shoes
Don't add more than 10% increase of miles in a week
After about 2 weeks of increases of miles drop back down in miles for a week then go back up the next week
Don't add speed work and increase in miles in the same week
Have fun
Have to agree with the couple of previous responses. Stay away from the ankle weights..maybe just use the weights for some mini leg lifts at home but dont run with them-you will mess up your stride and things can get ugly during a run if and when you get tired (starting to favor and get bad stride habits). Depending on how new you are to running there are several different ways to attack just becoming a stronger/faster runner. Good luck.
My exercise schedule is kinda like this....
Jog 1.7 miles on Sunday. Rest on Monday. Jog 3 miles on Tuesday. Rest on Wednesday. Workout w/trainers on TV on Thursday which can be full, upper, core, or lower body. Rest on Friday. Jog 4.5 on Saturday. Rest on Sunday. Run 6 miles on Monday. Rest on Tuesday. This is my pattern.
I was a smoker and couch potato for over 30 years and have only been jogging since April. My last 5K time was 24:44. I want to be able to at least 24:30 when i do my first for 2011. The goal is to eventually be 22 and change.
Please, please don't do this! I know you have good intentions, and believe that these ankle weights will help you get results faster, but you are begging for an injury!!! You will get results from perserverance. If you want to incorporate weights into your workouts, jog one day, and do some weight training or body resistance workouts the next day. Alternate between the two - jog one day, weights the next, but please don't combine them :-( We don't want you to get hurt, thats all! We all want to encourage you to keep going, and to get results, but this is not the way to go, I promise!
Good Luck & Happy Running!
I recently did a gait analysis with a video camera to track my leg movement. The difference between barefoot and wearing shoes, for me, when walking was striking when played back
The extra momentum from having shoes on my feet pull my feet out in front and cause a much bigger heel strike and over extension of the knee, and extra extension of the ham string. My shoes are standard training shoes, so weigh less than 1lb each, and are probably too heavy for me!

If one person had answered saying not to use weights, i'd have ignorred them but since it seems to be the belief of many......
yeah dont use the ankle weights for running they can be used to help build resistance in cardio or walking but i use them as wrist weights

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - For as long as ski and summer traffic has backed up from Dumont to Silverthorne, people have been talking about transit along the Interstate 70 corridor. But for every time someone has said "something must be done," someone else has asked, "How will we pay for this?"
For the past eight years, Eagle County Commissioner Peter Runyon has been the county's representative on the Interstate 70 Coalition, a group of officials from the counties along the highway's mountain corridor. That group for years has been looking for solutions to the weekend backups that snarl the highway, with, so far, no real results.
The coalition and the Colorado Department of Transportation earlier this month held a forum at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds near Golden. There, representatives of eight different companies showed off their ideas of how to more efficiently move people and cargo. Runyon, who's seen a host of ideas over the years, said he was impressed with some of what he saw, particularly an idea for four-passenger vehicles.
The vehicles would be available to individuals and small groups, would run on demand and could easily make side trips off the main line along the interstate. That addresses one of conventional transit's biggest problems: Any system that carried lots of people would have to stop too often to build up any real speed.
The smaller system would cost less, too.
The biggest problem, though, is that the smaller system is still more idea than reality.
Still, Runyon believes that the idea has merit, especially if backers can make the system work with a combination of private investment and fare revenue.
Whatever happens - state officials say they want to pick a plan next year, with an eye toward having the first leg built by 2017 - Runyon said he's now "cautiously optimistic" that something might be built, sometime.
Vail Town Manager Stan Zemler is also a member of the coalition's board. Zemler said he's seeing more actual enthusiasm from state officials than he's seen before.
"They're really embracing this big step - that wasn't the case 10 years ago," Zemler said.
While most people talk about carrying passengers from the resorts to the city, Zemler said there's another part of the equation: freight. The ability of any system to haul freight would take any number of trucks off the highway, which would both reduce traffic and help cut down on bottlenecks caused when trucks lose control on icy roads on high passes.
Putting day-to-day deliveries on a transit system could also help create more steady demand, since passengers would be mostly limited to weekend rides.
There's still a long list of questions to answer before any system even makes it to the drawing board. Cost is at the top of the list, but so are questions about whether the ability to get from, say, Avon to Lakewood in an hour would create suburban-type growth in this area.
"If you have the political will, you can manage how and where we grow," Runyon said, adding that he believes the resort experience in the Vail Valley would benefit from a high-speed, high-tech way to get here from Denver's airport.
Zemler agreed that a transit system is an essential next step for the region.
"There's a notion that you progress as a state, as a country, by building alternative transit networks," Zemler said. "You need to do that over time."

Banks finished providing relief required by settlement
Published: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at 8:48 p.m.
Five giant lenders have fulfilled their obligations to provide financial relief to distressed homeowners under a landmark $25 billion National Mortgage Settlement.
Strapped Florida homeowners received more than $9.2 billion in relief, primarily through short sales, forgiven debt and loan modifications.
Nearly 120,000 mortgage borrowers benefited from some form of financial assistance, for an average of $77,066.
In a final report this week, settlement monitor Joseph A. Smith Jr. said the five banks provided more than $50 billion in gross relief nationwide, which translated into $20.7 billion in credits under the settlement's formula.
Most of the relief came in the form of debt reduction and refinancings to resolve claims of mortgage and foreclosure abuses -- including the infamous "robo-signing" scandal -- during the financial crisis that began in 2008.
"More than 600,000 families received some form of relief," Smith said.
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said that 73,000 foreclosed borrowers in Florida also shared in $107 million in payments. In all, the $9.2 billion in bank-reported relief for Florida homeowners exceeded the original estimate by $800 million, Bondi said. That amount accounted for 18 percent of the national total and was second only to California.
Among other things, the settlement requires the banks to adhere to enhanced servicing standards for 3 1/2 years.
Bank of America, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and the ResCap parties agreed to the settlement in 2012 with the federal government and attorneys general in 49 states. The ResCap parties include Ally Bank, the former GMAC.
Those lenders were key players in the robo-signing of foreclosure documents -- processing foreclosures without verifying documents -- and other abuses during the financial crisis, when home values plunged and millions of people lost their homes.
Some have criticized the settlement because many of the borrowers wound up selling their homes through short sales -- that the banks may have approved anyway -- rather than receiving reductions in their mortgages, which would have helped them remain in their homes.
Nearly 32,000 Florida homeowners received $3.48 billion in breaks through short sales, the largest dollar amount of relief. Another 50,000 Floridians received $3.4 billion as a result of second-mortgage debt being wiped out, though in many cases that debt would have been uncollectible.
Meanwhile, 10,900 Florida homeowners received $1.43 billion in reductions of first-mortgage principal, which experts say is the key to keeping people in their homes.
In Florida, Bank of America provided $4.95 billion in relief; Chase, $2.2 billion; Wells Fargo, $1.4 billion; Citi, $520 million; and ResCap, $91 million.
In his final report, Smith noted that 37 percent of the total relief came in the form of first-mortgage forgiveness, and 15 percent in second-lien forgiveness.
Some 17 percent of the total represented refinancings via rate-reduction assistance to homeowners who did not qualify for regular refinancing programs.
A final 31 percent resulted from forgiveness of amounts in forbearance, waivers of balances due on mortgages after short sales and cash payments.

Michigan State's Le'Veon Bell scores a touchdown against Northern Colorado's Matt King, right, during the first quarter of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Sept. 25, 2010, in East Lansing, Mich. (AP Photo/Al Goldis)
For the Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor and the other 100 or so police officers that work Michigan State game-days, the end of the game doesn't necessarily mean the end of their days.
"It normally takes people about an hour to get out of here," said Sgt. Taylor of MSU Police. "If it's a night game, it will take even longer."
Since every game at Spartan Stadium has started at 3:30 p.m. or later this season, it means extra long days for the officers patrolling campus.
"I usually get in around 6 a.m.," said Taylor. "We work more than eight hours. We're a university and this is what we knew coming in. It's just part of the job we do."
Even as police are finishing up their jobs on campus, the day is just beginning for local bars and restaurants.
Following games, Crunchy's in East Lansing sees fans from both teams. Manager Mike Karueger says even though they usually do not have too many problems with behavior, they are ready if something happens.
"We've got door guys and we've got who know how to deal with it so we don't worry too much about that stuff," said Karueger.
Still, each game-day brings its challenges and with homecoming just two weeks away, those who work with fans will have to be ready.

The Menig Extended Care Facility in Randolph celebrated a Day of Play on Thursday, May 17 in celebration of Older American's Month.
The event was held at the urging of Vermont Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living (DAIL) Commissioner Dr. Susan Wehry, who sent two members of her staff, Will Rowe and Mary Woodruff, to join Menig nursing home residents, activities staff, volunteers and seventh-grade Community Connections class "buddies" from Randolph Union High School.
For their Day of Play, the Menig residents and visitors participated in a "scavenger hunt" that had them hugging trees, balancing things on their heads, wearing newspaper hats, forming a conga line by cars, posing by a flagpole and much more. The seventh graders then hung out with their Menig pals before heading back to class.

MARIETTA - A Parkersburg man has been officially declared missing after last being seen in Marietta Feb. 13.
Police officially listed Carl Austin Travis, 22, who is in the Navy, as missing Friday after he failed to report for duty aboard his ship Friday morning.
"He was supposed to report to his ship the Halliburton, stationed out of Jacksonville Fla., at 7 a.m. Friday," said Capt. Jeff Waite of the Marietta Police Department.
Family members had first been in contact with the Marietta Police Department Tuesday to report a prolonged period of no contact with Travis.
"We know that Travis's last day on the boat was Feb. 9 and he arrived in Marietta on the 12th," said Waite.
After arriving in Marietta, Travis spent the night at The Lafayette Hotel in downtown Marietta.
"The last place we can trace Travis to is The Lafayette Hotel. We can't account for his whereabouts after that," said Waite.
Waite says his officers are working on retracing Travis's steps.
"We have been trying to track where he has been, but as of right now we really don't have any substantial leads," he said.
Travis is 5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighs 140 pounds and has brown hair with blue eyes.
The Marietta Police Department would like anyone who has any information regarding Travis's location to contact them at 373-4141.

Eugene Melnyk was quoted widely in the press today as saying that the Senators are "at a crossroads".
Nothing earth shattering about that. But what is strange is that different news outlets are spinning his words in both positive and negative ways.
The Ottawa Citizen, in a small piece written by James Gordon (who also writes the Hockey Capital blog) interprets Melnyk's statement as one that doesn't give a vote of confidence to Bryan Murray and Craig Hartsburg.
In this context, Melnyk's words are somewhat ominous:
"Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk hinted Wednesday that jobs will be on the line if his team doesn't start winning down the stretch.
Asked if he would give a vote of confidence to general manager Bryan Murray and head coach Craig Hartsburg in Ottawa Wednesday, Melnyk instead voiced his expectations.
"As far as I'm concerned, right now, we are at a crossroads," he said. "This is it. We have to win 26-27 games (to make the postseason) and it's got to be done, and if it's not done, well, we'll have to deal with it."
That makes it sound like Geno is issuing an ultimatum for Murray and Hartsburg.
Then you go over to TSN.ca and that same statement is conveyed in a much more positive way.
"This has not been the season we had all hoped to have," Melnyk stated. "We had great high expectations but it's not over 'til it's over.
"I still continue to believe in our players, our organization and our staff. You can mark my words - things are going to get better."
Melnyk said he would continue to leave hockey decisions in the hands of the hockey people as the Senators continue to pursue a winning formula - unless the losing continues.
"As far as I'm concerned right now we are at a crossroads," Melnyk said. "This is it. We have to win 26-27 games. It's got to be done and if it's not done, well, we will have to deal with it."
Put in this context, Melnyk seems to be giving at least a slight vote of confidence to his staff and his players and that last sentence doesn't seem so threatening.
I think that what both TSN and the Citizen make clear is that Melnyk won't hesitate to make changes if the dismal performances continue, but the Citizen article seems to imply that changes could be just around the corner, rather than later.
So which one is right?

- "Military issue M60s. Now found as weapon of choice for well-funded private militias."
- ―GTA Vice City Website.
The M60 is a Light Machine Gun featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
The M60 is a family of American general purpose long range machine guns.
The machine gun makes an appearance in GTA Vice City as a heavy weapon, alongside the Minigun, the Flamethrower and the Rocket Launcher. It can be bought by Tommy Vercetti from Phil's Place.
The M60 is the strongest firearm in terms of damage per bullet; the M60 takes down a police helicopter within 36 rounds, whereas most bullet-based weapons (including the Minigun) need 176 rounds to take one down. Additionally, the M60's bullets knock targets down just like shotguns and the Python, and can aim in first person just like assault rifles, with the bonus of having a 100-round load. It has a long range accuracy, and it is the only Heavy Weapon with which the player can both move to a normal walking pace and jump with it.
It appears in Vice City and Liberty City Stories as the M60E1. It is replaced by the M249 in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, The Ballad of Gay Tony (in the latter, named "Advanced MG" and placed in the Assault Rifles slot instead of the Heavy Weapons slot), and in Grand Theft Auto V by the MG. Its bipod has been folded and the box magazine is not inserted. Instead, the bullet belt drapes off the gun.
The firing sound is shared with the Hunter's chain gun, although both are completely different weapons.

It's good to know that much of the British public is judging the United States based on what they see out of Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag.
Montag and Pratt are doing their best to offend so many people while appearing on the U.K.'s "Celebrity Big Brother," that they're actually getting death threats from the British public.
Right -- those British. The ones who are always polite and speak with charming accents.
"The American couple have become the most reviled contestants in the history of the show and 'Big Brother' chiefs will ensure they get close protection from minders when they eventually exit the house," reports the Daily Star.
According to the tabloid, the pair commonly known as Speidi "have mocked the other contestants, argued with them and refused to join in tasks to get rewards." They have also engaged in some X-rated action on air, making many uncomfortable.
After a recent episode, many of the show's fans in the U.K. took to Twitter to express their grief, using harsh words such as "kill" and "death" in relation to the controversial twosome.
Well, there's a reason why they had to go overseas to be on TV.
The couple's obsession with guns might not help. The two NRA enthusiasts "have built up an arsenal of weapons and have also rented many firearms," reports Daily Star, "including an M16 semi-automatic rifle, a .44-caliber Ruger revolver and a .45mm-Glock pistol." In a photo shoot, conducted in Los Angeles, the two stars show off their rifling skills.
Well, to be fair, they probably need the guns.
What's funny is that less than two weeks ago the married couple -- who received $500,000 for being in "Celebrity Big Brother" -- were winning over the fans with their conniving ways. "No one in England had any idea who they were or what they did," a London agent told the Huffington Post at the time. "But they are so barmy they have won over the public." A crew member confirmed this to the Daily Star, saying "Initially everyone seemed to love their meddling. But now it's turned into real hatred."
I have a feeling the embassy might not unlock the door if things get really bad.
LINDSAY LOHAN'S LAWYER IS DONE: Shawn Holley has officially jumped off the badly listing S.S. Lohan.
TMZ reported Wednesday that Holley quit even though Lindsay Lohan made nice and practically begged Holley to continue being her lawyer. This after firing her last week on the same day Holley was to meet with a prosecutor and cut a deal to keep her out of jail (I'm pretty sure it was for lying to police about her car accident last June, but really ... who can keep up?). Lohan hired Mark Heller, a New York lawyer who isn't even licensed to practice in California. Then she apparently changed her mind.
Sources connected with the case supposedly told TMZ Holley is doing the paperwork and getting the necessary signatures to officially withdraw from the case, before Lohan's hearing on Jan. 30.
Holley has apparently had it with Lohan, who still owes her truckloads of money. Hope she wasn't counting on that to pay the bills.
SCHWARZENEGGER TO RETURN FOR ANOTHER 'TERMINATOR' FILM: Arnold Schwarzenegger will return to star in the next "Terminator" film.
Well ... he did say he'd be back.
The fifth film in the series is being producer by David Ellison, although there's been no official confirmation as of yet. Schwarzenegger revealed the big news during a London press conference for his current film "The Last Stand," according to Bleeding Cool.
"Avatar" co-producer Laeta Kalogridis and "Drive Angry" writer Patrick Lussier will team for the screenplay, although it's unknown if it will revolve around the Connor family like the previous installments.
Schwarzenegger starred as the killer cyborg in James Cameron's 1984 "The Terminator," before coming back as a good guy in 1991's "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." Cameron exited the series, and it took more than a decade for "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" (2003) to come out. Schwarzenegger skipped 2009's "Terminator Salvation."
"The Last Stand," Schwarzenegger's first leading role in ten years, has so far struggled at the U.S. box office.
PRINCE HARRY IRRITATES THE TALIBAN: The Taliban isn't happy with Prince Harry.
The British royal recently spoke to the media about his just-ended four-month tour in Afghanistan, saying he killed Taliban fighters from a helicopter and reportedly likened it to playing video games.
"I am one of those people who like playing PlayStation and Xbox, so with my thumbs I would like to think that I am quite useful," he said.
Not surprisingly, the Taliban responded.
"This is a serious war, a historic war, resistance for us, for our people," a Taliban spokesman told Agence France-Presse. "And now this prince comes and compares this war with his games, PlayStation or whatever he calls it."
The spokesman added, "We don't take his comments very seriously, as we have all seen and heard many foreign soldiers, occupiers who come to Afghanistan, develop some kind of mental problems on their way out."
JUSTIN BIEBER MAY BE DATING KYLIE JENNER: Of course Justin Bieber has to date a Kardashian at some point.
Technically, though, she's a Jenner.
No, not Kris. Stop being gross.
The Huffington Post reported that a photo of Bieber and Kylie Jenner holding hands is making the Internet rounds, though a later report said it was actually a photo of Bieber with Selena Gomez, with Kylie's head photoshopped on.
But ... the photo in question came from Kylie's Instagram account.
Duh Du DUH!!
The 18-year-old singer finally ended things with Gomez just before the new year, and is now rumored to be dating Kylie. The pair have known each other for a while and Jenner's sister Kendall is also rumored to be dating Bieber's pal Lil Twist.
Has "Lil" become a real name yet? Like, do people who want their children to grow up and be rappers name them "Lil?"
The photo was later deleted, but the conversation between Jenner and what appears to be Bieber's secret Instagram account suggests that the pair have made out. Right ... OMG.
It's still unclear if the Instagram accounts belong to both Bieber and Jenner. Neither Bieber's nor Jenner's camps have commented.

David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|(C) False attribution of... >
(A) Omission of reliable sources: the Goebbels diary entry of 27 March 1942
1. Irving refers to the diary entry for 27 March 1942 and Goebbels's subsequent conversation with Hitler as evidence that Goebbels by this time knew of the details of the mass extermination camps operating in the East, and that Hitler did not. However, the full diary entry gives a very different impression from that conveyed by Irving:
The Jews are now being pushed out of the General Government, beginning near Lublin, to the East. A pretty barbaric procedure is being applied here, and it is not to be described in any more detail, and not much is left of the Jews themselves. In general one may conclude that 60% of them must be liquidated, while only 40% can be put to work. The former Gauleiter of Vienna [Globocnik], who is carrying out this action, is doing it pretty prudently and with a procedure that doesn't work too conspicuously. The Jews are being punished barbarically, to be sure, but they have fully deserved it. The prophesy that the Führer issued to them on the way, for the eventuality that they started a new world war, is beginning to realise itself in the most terrible manner. One must not allow any sentimentalities to rule in these matters. If we did not defend ourselves against them, the Jews would annihilate us. It is a struggle for life and death between the Aryan race and the Jewish bacillus. No other government and no other regime could muster the strength for a general solution of the question. Here too, the Führer is the persistent pioneer and spokesman of a radical solution, which is demanded by the way things are and thus appears to be unavoidable. Thank God, during the war we now have a whole series of possibilities which were barred to us in peacetime. We must exploit them. The ghettos which are becoming available in the General Government are now being filled with the Jews who are being pushed out of the Reich, and after a certain time the process is then to renew itself here. Jewry has nothing to laugh about...16
2. Clearly, Irving is right to use this diary entry to show that Goebbels knew the operational details of the mass extermination in the East. However, Goebbels clearly did not refer to Auschwitz or Treblinka, as Irving claims. The reference to Globocnik, and to killings taking place in the east of Lublin, make clear that Goebbels is writing about Belzec. More importantly, aside from this elementary factual error, Irving does not tell his readers that Goebbels described Hitler as having pushed for this 'radical solution'. Irving simply omits the entire passage relating to Hitler, as he did in the 1991 edition of Hitler's War, because this statement by Goebbels discredits Irving's claim that Hitler knew nothing about the extermination camps in the East.17 If Hitler was ignorant, how could he be 'the persistent pioneer and spokesman of a radical solution'? Thus, Irving manipulates the diary entry to argue the exact opposite of what it actually shows.
3. Irving tries to justify himself in his reply to the defence by arguing that Goebbels's claim Hitler's complicity should be regarded simply as 'gratuitous references to the Führer' and discarded as untrue:
...when analysed, these references boiled down to (a) the empty rhetoric of a diarist dictating orally to a subordinate private secretary (Richard Otte), and (b) Goebbels's by now familiar alibi-ing technique, of ascribing some historic act - be it Hitler's decision to stand against Hindenburg, or the 'Kristallnacht', or some other event - post facto to The Will of an omnipotent and omniscient Führer. The perceptive historian does not fall for such subterfuges, particularly given the Goebbels Diaries' troubled relationship with the truth. In short the passage quoted is evidence in law against Goebbels, but not against Hitler.18
4. Irving's manipulation and distortion of Hitler's and Goebbels's role in 'Kristallnacht', the anti-Jewish progrom of November 1938, has been discussed previously. Here, we will deal with Irving's other claims in this passage.
5. First, the question whether Goebbels's dictated this passage or not is irrelevant to the issue, particularly in view of the fact that his diary entries relating to the 'Kristallnacht' were not dictated. Far from using 'empty rhetoric', Goebbels in fact repeats several of Hitler's own thoughts. For the reasons given by Goebbels for the extermination of the Jews in his diary had also been expressed in similar form by Hitler in the previous year. In July 1941, Hitler stated: 'If even one state, on whatever grounds, tolerated a Jewish family in its midst, this would become the breeding-ground for bacilli for a new subversion.'19 On 12 December 1941, Hitler spoke about the Jews in front of the Gauleiters (noted down by Goebbels himself):
With reference to the Jewish question, the Führer is determined to clear the decks. He prophesied to the Jews that if they should once more bring about a world war, they would experience their own annihilation in doing so. That was no mere talk. The world war is there, the annihilation of Jewry must be the necessary consequence. The question is to be considered without any sentimentality. We aren't there to have sympathy with the Jews, only sympathy with our German people.20
6. Far from keeping the knowledge of the mass extermination in the camps in the East from Hitler, as Irving claims, Goebbels not only describes Hitler as the originator of the most radical measures taken against the Jews, but even uses Hitler's line of argument to justify this murderous policy.
7. Secondly, Irving's selective use of the Goebbels diary is not based on neutral analysis, as he claims, but it is motivated by his attempt to absolve Hitler of responsibility for the extermination of the Jews. Irving accepts as accurate all those passages in the diary which confirm Goebbels's involvement, and dismisses all the passages implicating Hitler as 'alibis'. Irving is open about this biased use of the Goebbels diary. He claims that the diary 'is acceptable as evidence against Goebbels, but not necessarily against third parties. A distinction must be drawn therefore between what he admits putting to his Führer, and what he alleges the Führer to put to him.'21 But for which audience were these 'alibis' inserted by Goebbels? If Goebbels really did try in his diary to shift the blame for the extermination of the Jews onto Hitler, and away from himself, why did he include so many passages which showed that he himself favoured the mass extermination of the Jews? Why did he sometimes even show himself as suggesting radical measures to Hitler rather than simply taking orders from him?22 As a means of absolving its author of blame, the diary is worse than useless. Surely Goebbels was cleverer than that. In any case, it is clear throughout that Goebbels never expected to be called to account for his actions by a hostile power or a disapproving posterity. He passionately believed in the prospect of the 'Thousand-Year-Reich' and he clearly wrote the diary to show the future inhabitants of that state how important his own role had been in its creation.
8. In Hitler's War (1977 edition) Irving relies on the Goebbels diary entries of 26 April 1942 and 29 May 1942 to show that Hitler did not know about the extermination of the Jews while Goebbels himself did. So why did Goebbels not insert an 'alibi' here? Why did Goebbels not pin the blame for the extermination of the Jews on Hitler in these passages too? Irving's use of the diary shows him not to be a 'perceptive historian', but an incorrigible manipulator of evidence. If the diary, in Irving's view, exonerates Hitler, he accepts it as genuine. But if the diary implicates Hitler, Irving dismisses it as an 'alibi'. This selective use of the diary leads Irving to conclude that 'nowhere in the entire Goebbels diaries - including the unpublished years - is there any reference to Hitler's alleged initiative in the extermination of the Jews.'23 This claim is completely false.
15. Irving, Hitler's War (London, 1977), p. 392.
16. 'Aus dem Generalgovernement werden jetzt, bei Lublin beginnend, die Juden nach dem Osten abgeschoben. Es wird hier ein ziemlich barbarisches und nicht näher zu beschreibendes Verfahren angewandt, und von den Juden selbst bleibt nicht mehr viel übrig. Im großen kann man wohl feststellen, daß 60 % davon liquidiert werden müssen, während nur noch 40 % in die Arbeit eingesetzt werden können. Der ehemalige Gauleiter von Wien, der diese Aktion durchführt, tut das mit ziemlicher Umsicht und auch mit einem Verfahren, das nicht allzu auffällig wirkt. An den Juden wird ein Strafgericht vollzogen, das zwar barbarisch ist, das sie aber vollauf verdient haben. Die Prophezeiung, die der Führer ihnen für die Herbeiführung eines neuen Weltkriegs mit auf den Weg gegeben hat, beginnt sich in der furchtbarsten Weise zu verwirklichen. Man darf in diesen Dingen keine Sentimentalitäten obwalten lassen. Die Juden würden, wenn wir uns ihrer nicht erwehren würden, uns vernichten. Es ist ein Kampf auf Leben und Tod zwischen arischer Rasse und dem jüdischen Bazillus. Keine andere Regierung und kein anderes Regime könnte die Kraft aufbringen, diese Frage generell zu lösen. Auch hier ist der Führer der unentwegte Vorkämpfer und Wortführer einer radikalen Lösung, die nach Lage der Dinge geboten ist und deshalb unausweichlich erscheint. Gott sei Dank haben wir jetzt während des Krieges eine ganze Reihe von Möglichkeiten, die uns im Frieden verwehrt wären. Die müssen wir ausnutzen. Die in den Städten des Generalgovernements freiwerdenden Ghettos werden jetzt mit den aus dem Reich abgeschobenen Juden gefüllt, und hier soll sich dann nach einer gewissen Zeit der Prozeß erneuern. Das Judentum hat nichts zu lachen...'; in E. Fröhlich (ed.), Die Tagebücher von Joseph Goebbels, Teil II, Vol. 3 (Munich, New Providence, London, Paris, 1994), p. 561. Goebbels's initial claim, that the Jews were being pushed out of the General Government to the East, was not in fact realised; not only did the majority regarded as unfit for work remain in the General Government, to be exterminated, but the rest stayed here too, and were also exterminated in increasing numbers in the course of 1942. (Note on the translation: 'Das Judentum' and 'die Juden' are used interchangeably).
17. Irving, Hitler's War (London, 1991), pp. 464-465
18. Irving: Reply to the Defence of the Second Defendant, p. 18.
19. Wenn auch nur ein Staat aus irgendwelchen Gründen eine jüdische Familie bei sich dulde, so würde diese der Baxillenherd für eine neue Zersetzung werden'; cited in A. Hillgruber, 'Die "Endlösung" und das deutsche Ostimperium als Kernstücke des rassenideologischen Programms des Nationalsozialismus', in Vierteljahreshefte für Zeitgeschichte 20 (1972), pp. 133-153, here p. 142.
20. Bezüglich der Judenfrage ist der Führer entschlossen, reinen Tisch zu machen. Er hat den Juden prophezeit, daß, wenn sie noch einmal einen Weltkrieg herbeiführen würden, die dabei ihre Vermichtung erleben würden. Das ist keine Phrase gewesen. Der Weltkrieg is da, die Vernichtung des Judentums muß die notwendige Folge sein. Die Frage ist ohne jede Sentimentalität zu betrachten. Wir sind nicht dazu da, Mitleid mit den Juden, sondern nur Mitleid mit unserem deutshen Volk zu haben'; cited in E. Fröhlich (ed.), Die Tagebücher von Joseph Goebbels, Teil II, Vol. 2 (Munich, 1996), pp. 498, diary entry for 13.12.1941.
21. Irving, Goebbels, p. 387.
22. For example, see the Goebbels diary entry for 22 November 1941: 'With reference to Jewish mixed marriages, the Führer recommended to me a somewhat more reserved procedure, above all in artistic circles, becaue he is of the opinion that these marriages will in any case gradually die out, and one should not allow any grey hair to grow on one's head over it'; cited in E. Frölich (ed.), Die Tagebücher von Joseph Goebbels, Teil II, vol. 2 (Munich, 1996), p341.

The Southeast Steuben County Library, 300 Nasser Civic Center Plaza, Corning, will discuss the funding vote from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 11.
There will be a 15 minute presentation followed by a question and answer session. The library is proposing that the sum of $960,000 be raised by annual levy of a tax on the taxable property in the C-PP Area School District for the purpose of funding the Southeast Steuben County Library. If the proposition passes, this funding structure would replace the funding from the municipalities. It breaks down to roughly $4 a month per taxable property and would provide long term stability and sustainability to the library and its services.
The vote will be held Dec. 17 at regular school district polling locations.

What's the Best Exercise for Your Age?
If your typical workout routine never changes, you're missing out. Here's what you should be doing at the gym, based on your goals and your age
Your fitness fix: Amp up your strength training.
"If you're in your 40s and you have a good history of training regularly, chances are you're in fantastic shape," says Trink. "Women at this age do really well with strength training -- their bodies respond beautifully." To wit: Madonna's arms once she turned 40. Squats and dead lifts that incorporate weights are Trink's weight training go-tos. Pagano says that now is the time to focus on your upper body if you're not already doing so. While both experts believe that you don't have to lift huge weights, two-pound dumbbells probably aren't going to cut it. "Women are so afraid of 'bulking up,'" says Pagano. "But if you're not lifting enough weight to build muscle, you're not getting any benefit."

I'm in my 20's and I think it's really important to vary your routine and only do things that you enjoy, then you're more likely to stick with it. Also changing up your routine confuses your body and you are less likely to get used to doing the same exercise over and over, then you hit a plateau and have to change your routine. Some days I do Zumba, walk my dog, cardio kick-boxing or a more intense strength training workout. Even if I'm super lazy I'll still fit in a short walk or yoga, once you get going you almost always want to continue. It's good to have a workout buddy, if you know someone is depending on you to show up, you're more likely to follow through. Also check your local parks and recreation. Often they have free classes. Mine offers free yoga and Zumba. They also have great hiking trails which are free, so no need to pay for a gym membership.

Misc. Comments
- Pictorial Analysis of the Concerto for String Orchestra, Op.48
- 1. Mouvement - Le Chant du Coeur.
The first movement is a musical illustration of various states of mind and feelings.
- Page 5 starts with a "Call of the heart", unfolding at the double bar into an emotional dialogue, which becomes more and more pathetic up to the "Sostenuto" on page 14.
- Page 14, the "Sostenuto", denotes a feeling of relief, followed by great firmness felt in the "Molto cantabile" on page 16.
- Page 20, the "Appassionato Rubato" is a "Love Song" with profound emotion and passion, culminating in an outburst at the double bar of the "Risoluto" on page 26.
- Page 27 is the re-exposition section.
- Page 29, starting at the double bar, the Cello has an important thematic part to sing.
- Page 35, starting as of the double bar at the "Molto cantabile", the violas have an extremely important part to sing.
- Page 46, at the "Molto sostenuto" and into the "Molto Lento", the main theme of the third movement is already heard. These measure are played with feelings of devotion, as in a prayer.
- Page 46, at the "Molto Lento", the First Violins are carrying one up into heaven. The Second Violins and the Altos are playing fingered over tones.
- 2. Mouvement - Marche Rituelle sous pluie et tempête.
The second movement is to be understood as being a procession leading to the house of prayer. It is played very rhythmically and with great firmness.
- Page 53, at the "Scherzando", the fine "spiccato" - play illustrates a rainfall, which gets heavier as it unfolds to the double bar on page 56
- Page 57, "Appassionato" illustrates a thunderstorm, which ends suddenly at the double bar on page 60.
- Page 60, at the short Coda the procession resumes its marching to the house of prayer.
- 3. Mouvement - Une Ancienne Légende.
The third movement is very prayerful and meditative, starting with the "Call for Prayer" heard during the first six measures, and which is played by the Alto (molto cantabile).
- Page 63, as of the double bar, "Poco più Andante", the Prayer itself unfolds, ending at the double bar on page 64.
- Page 65, starting at the "Più Andante", the prayer theme develops gradually, unfolding into an outburst of heart longing.
- Page 68, this heart longing is expressed in special glissandos played by the First Violins in measure 41. Glissandos are also heard in the following measure played by the other strings. Same on page 69.
These Glissandos are meant to be emphasized in the Tzygane style.
- Page 71, there is an important "stringendo", 3 measure before number 7, which illustrates a feeling of despair.
- Page 72, here again an important "stringendo" expressing the same feelings of despair, unfolding this time into a passionate outburst at the double bar of the "Allegro appassionato", 2 measures before number 8.
- Page 74, the first measure is played at the heel of the bow (Talon) all the way till the double bar on page 75.
- Page 75, the "Andante" starts again with the "Call for Prayer", and in the fourth measure after the double bar, the prayer itself is heard.
- Page 77, the "Adagio" is played with great inner intensity and serenity.
- 4. Mouvement - Cinq Danses orientales.
The fourth movement represents a succession of five small sacred Hindu dances, each preceded by a characteristic "Thematic model", which comes back each time in slightly different structurings.
- Danse 1 is on page 80, (four measures before number 2)
- Danse 2 is on page 84, (six measures before number 5)
- Danse 3 is on page 90, (ten measures before number 9)
- Danse 4 is on page 95 (one measure before number 12)
- Danse 5 is on page 102 (twelve measures before number 17)
- Page 104, at the double bar, the "Lento" is played in deepest serenity and absolute inner and outward peace.

Local talent will be on display Friday night at the Council of Organizations, on 45th Avenue at 8th Street.
Winners of a talent contest, Dan B. and All Star Click, will open up for The Syndicate in concert.
Tickets are $20 at the door. The show starts at 8 p.m.
For the talent winners, this is a dream come true.
Newscenter 11 asked each of them what they're looking forward to and any advice they would give other artists.
"I'm actually looking to keep growing," said talent search winner Dan B. "There's never a day to stop growing. There's always room for improvement, you know, so just put in what you get in, and every day's just a different challenge. So never give up on what your dream is."
"Reaching my goals, everything I aimed for. Every day just working hard and thank the Lord every day and just keep moving forward," said Lil Sho of All Star Click.
"It means a lot, you know, moving forward, reaching our goals, just trying to get it working together as a team. That's why we came up with the group 'All Star Click' because you can't do anything by yourself. You have to come together," said group member A. Beezy.
"Yeah, I'm very excited about that, very excited about that," said T. Wizzy of All Star Click. "It's just my dream and it seems like it's coming true but we have to have the faith."
"Pursue your dreams. Diligence is the key," said Boss B. of All Star Click. "Just keep going with persistence; that's it. When somebody tells you you can't do it, just follow you. You know, don't worry about anybody else, just do you."
The next talent search may have an even bigger prize.
"I'm working on a situation where I can bring the actual staff of Big Cats Records, as far as their president, their main handlers, their road managers and everything like that," said Ghetto Saint, CEO of Greedy Gutz Productions. "We're trying to bring them back to Meridian real soon to do a deal to where they come out and the winner of another talent search will get an actual single deal."

There's a good piece over at Pharma Times On-line reminding us all of the work and giving by biopharmaceutical research companies to help the victims of the tsunami in Japan. The article notes that these critical contributions by medicine-makers are sometimes overlooked, with credit going to organizations and agencies providing direct services.
I was intrigued by a Reuters article I saw talking about General Electric and its renewed commitment to investing in research and development. The company clearly views increasing investment in R&D as the pathway to a secure future.
Today is World MS Day, a day intended to raise awareness of multiple sclerosis and to create a stronger network among the more than 2,000,000 patients around the world who live with this debilitating disease.
To help with the goal of raising awareness, PhRMA produced a brief, informative video featuring a multiple sclerosis expert, Sanofi's Associate Vice President and Head of the Multiple Sclerosis Distinct Project Unit Anita Burrell.
Today, the Joint Economic Committee is convening a hearing to discuss life-sciences jobs and innovation.
We hope that this hearing sheds light on the important economic role that our sector plays in America's economy, and we hope that it leads to recognition that the sector is worth promoting for future growth.
To that end, PhRMA's President and CEO John J. Castellani and Chairman of the Board and Sanofi CEO Christopher A. Viehbacher wrote an op-ed for The Hill about their hopes for the hearing.
An interesting article in the New York Times health section describes a series of interesting studies that suggest that heart health at middle age is a good indicator of potential risk for future heart disease.
Today, PhRMA released our new overview of the effect that medical advances have had on Americans, finding that new medicines have yielded significant progress in the battle against disease.
Over at Congress Blog today, there is a good piece from Eli Lilly Chairman, president and CEO, John C. Lechleiter on the importance of good trade policies that stimulate innovation.
On Wednesday, Jerry Lewis announced that this year, he will retire as host of the Muscular Dystrophy Association's annual telethon - a position he has filled for 45 years.
Bill Gates and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are in the news again, appealing for a "decade of vaccines" to help strengthen global immunization programs. Their goal is to save an additional 4 million lives by 2015 and 10 million by 2020.
A study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences - though not an easy read, admittedly - gives hope to some smokers by finding that a genetic variant may make it easier to quit smoking (Time translates it for those who may want a more-readable version).

Ratings for Dr. Cynthia C. Cesaire
I have been with Dr. Cesaire since she took over the practice from Dr. Griffin. I thought it would be difficult transitioning to a new doctor because I loved Dr. Griffith, however I have developed a wonderful relationship with Dr. Cesaire. I am a senior patient of hers, and I am very proud of her accomplishments as a young doctor. She is very efficient, easy to talk to, concerned about your well being. I trust her opinion. Though I live in Pennsylvania, I will not change doctors. I continued to come to my doctor; Dr. Cesaire.
I have been with Dr Cesaire since my second child a but I have been there since my first 21 years. The staff is very warm I love my doctor..since the day when I was pregnant with my second child who is 11 now she has been always pleasant and always made me comfortable. Even when I didn't have insurance I would have rather paid out of pocket in order to keep my doctor and her staff.thank you for all the great years. Sincerely Ms. K New
Dr. Cesaire is great this is my second child i will be having with her as my Dr. I wouldn't trust anyone else but her. The staff in the front are great as well. I have recommended her to family and friends and will keep doing so. :)
I have had all my children with Dr. Cesaire, and though she has been my primary OB/GYN throughout each of my 3 pregnancy, I have had others, and no other office nor staff has been as friendly, educational, and over all such a great staff. I would highly recommend her office to any woman.
This is the BEST doctor and staff I have ever experienced. They are warm, friendly, and open. I never feel uncomfortable asking questions, and they ALWAYS give you all the time you need to have concerns explained. I wish every doctor's office was as AMAZING as this one is!!!!
Dr. Cesaire has amazing bedside manner. She made me feel comfortable from the moment she entered the exam room. She reviewed my information with me and addressed all of my questions and concerns.The exam was quick and comfortable considering I hate that brush and usually have bad cramps afterwards but not this time. The office was clearly organized and staff was professional and courteous.
Dr. Cesaire seemed nice and good person. The crucial reason for me to change the office was the day when I had bleeding. I was 7 weeks and I had bleeding like heavy period. I called her office and left a message. I panicked and every minute felt like an hour. I explained to the receptionist that I'm bleeding and I would like to see the Dr. Cesaire right away. They told me that I can not walk in. I felt hopeless and I didn't know what to do. That's when I decided to call other OB/GYN in the area. I had a miscarriage. I noticed Dr. Cesaire had called me an hour after my message and told me to go to ememergency. But it was too late then….
Wonderful doctor! I had surgery recently and was really scared. She held my hand and stroked my arm to make me feel better beforehand. Amazing bedside manner! She told my husband and father everything they needed to know and called to check on me afterward. I have never had a doctor as amazing as her! Thank you, Dr. Cesaire!
Dr. Cesaire is really an awesome doctor. She has an excellent beside manner and always provides excellent care. She never rushes her patient's out of the office. She great at return phone calls. She's been OB for over 4 years and I've made referred several of my friends who have been happy with her as well. I highly recommend Dr. Cesaire.

USA, 1979, 96 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Archival, Romantic ComedyLanguage: English
Manhattan is a wry, touching and finely rendered portrait of modern relationships against the backdrop of urban alienation. Sumptuously photographed in black and white (Woody Allen's first film in that format) and accompanied by a magnificent Gershwin score, the film follows 42-year-old Manhattan native Isaac Davis (Allen) who has a job he hates, a seventeen-year-old girlfriend, Tracy (Mariel Hemingway), he doesn't love and a lesbian ex-wife, Jill (Meryl Streep), who's writing a tell-all book about their marriage and whom he'd like to strangle. But when he meets his best friend's sexy intellectual mistress, Mary (Diane Keaton), Isaac falls head over heels in lust! Leaving Tracy, bedding Mary and quitting his job are just the beginning of Isaac's quest for romance and fulfillment in a city where sex is as intimate as a hand shake and the gateway to true love is a revolving door.

Grade school student caught with gun
Age of student not released
St. Louis school officials are considering new safety measures after a grade school student brought a gun to school.
The incident happened Wednesday at Jefferson Elementary School, but some parents told KMOV-TV that the 13-year-old student brought the gun to school on at least two other occasions, and that one student even had the weapon pointed at his head.
No one was hurt. The age of the student with the gun was not announced, and the district has not disclosed how the student was disciplined.
District officials said the gun was confiscated. Principal Nathalie Means said in a statement sent home to parents that the district will review its safety policies and procedures.

Pronounced: Plur-al mehz- oh-thel-ee- oh -ma
The pleura is a membrane. It lines the outside of the lungs and the inside of the chest cavity. Pleural mesothelioma is cancer of the pleura.
Pleura of the Lungs
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably, a mass of tissue forms. This is called a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant tumors. They can invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body.
Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that is known to cause cancer. This type of cancer is almost always caused by exposure to it. Even a small amount of exposure can be a risk.Other fibers can cause mesothelioma.
Factors that may increase your chance of getting pleural mesothelioma include:
This cancer can take up to 20-40 years to develop. Early signs of pleural mesothelioma include:
Many people do not have symptoms for a long period of time.
Your doctor ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a doctor who specializes in lung problems or cancer. A pulmonologist focuses on the lungs. An oncologist focuses on cancer.
Sometimes, it is hard to tell the difference between this and other, more common types of lung cancer.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
These same tests and others may also be used to find out if cancer has spread outside the pleura. It is important to know whether and how far the cancer has spread to plan treatment. This step is called the staging process. It helps determine the level of treatment.
Pleural mesothelioma is usually treated with:
The only known way to prevent this cancer is to avoid asbestos or other fibers. People who could be exposed to asbestos at work include:
Family members of workers can also be at risk for this cancer. The asbestos fibers can be brought home on clothing. This type of exposure is just as dangerous.
Asbestos can also be found in old building insulation, roofing materials, and tiles.

Design Patterns as Grand Theft AUX? Come See Us At OOW13 and Find Out!
By Ultan O'Broin Oracle UX-Oracle Paas4SaaS-Oracle on Aug 31, 2013
"Good artists borrow, great artists steal" so the saying goes. Smart artists have to do neither, and builders of great-looking usable apps with the Oracle Application Development Framework don't either. Using the freely available Oracle Applications User Experience design patterns and guidelines to develop and tailor your own applications and integrations in the cloud is guilt free. Yes, we have given them away! We want you to have them so you can use those ADF resources to focus on harder things!
UX design patterns are all about developer productivity in the cloud. Developers don't have to think about usability when developing apps, and the users of the apps won't need to think when it comes to using them either. Usability is baked into the ADF components and templates that patterns are based on and we've also proven how the organization of those components (or patterns) can solve common enterprise usability problems in a reusable way for developers. Yes, we've tested how the developer productivity with UX design patterns is realized as return on investment by built apps used by real workers doing real tasks in real situations, office and street, so we know they work!
Patterns are part of an overall tailoring solution for the cloud that Oracle Applications User Experience (AUX) provides to customers, partners, and the ADF build community represented by our friends in the ADF EMG and ODTUG. At Oracle OpenWorld 2013 we've got a great panel that will explain the approach and what it means for apps user experience, applications ROI, and customer and partner development productivity. Come along and learn more from myself, Tim Dubois, Killian Evers, and the irrepressible Floyd Teter as we show and tell about Oracle Fusion Applications: Tailoring Your User Experience in the Cloud.
And don't forget the other UX presentations and opportunities to input to future applications and find out more about our usability labs too! Full details are on the Usable Apps website.

Aug 29, 2002 I would just like to say...
so much, mom.
I'd like to say so much.
there has been so much to say for so long and I continue to keep my silence.
I am sorry.
Remember when I used to actually have something substantial to offer in written form every so often? Well...I'd like to think that I did....and still do. The only difference is I don't have as much time to sift through all the thoughts and pull out the ones that will make sense.
I wanted to write a review of both Scribble Jam and the National Poetry Slam...and do a comprehensive compare/contrast piece. There are many points to be made. I even took notes...and wrote down instances that I wanted to explain in detail. Here's a few things I can remember off the top of my head that happened but i can't explain in great detail just yet:
1) I have been profiled by the FBI and DEA as a drug dealer. Therefor, I get thoroughly searched MANY times before I fly on a plane now. On my way to Minneapolis from Cincinnati I was interrogated by the DEA and they threatened to confisgate all the money I had in my backpack (which was a lot...half of which I brought from home for emergency purposes) because I am obviously a drug smuggler. They let me go when they couldn't find any reason at all to keep fucking with me.
2) The sunday in the park at Scribble Jam, which included "battling" Slug for 15-20 minutes, the Capri Sun Challenge and puking, thunder/lightening showers, slip and slide, and mud wrestling was worth the trip. people who didn't enjoy themselves at Scribble Jam suck.
3) The person who reviewed my album in Spin Magazine approached me at Scribble Jam. He said "I lost my job for you."
Apparently, this dude gave my album FOUR out of five stars...but Spin only printed three out of five. He bitched about it but they wouldn't hear it. Interesting, eh?
4) I left Cincinatti two days after Scribble. My plane left at 6:40 AM, but to avoid hasseling someone for a ride so early in the morning I opted to get dropped off at 11 PM. I figured I would spend that time writing the review of the weekend. Instead I sprawled out on the floor and spent the night in the aiport by myself......until I saw one other person walking toward me from the distance....and he was wearing a Makeshift Patriot shirt. I have no idea who he was....but we were both a little weirded out. When I fell asleep on the floor, I woke up to a can of coke next to my head because I was complaining of thirst earlier. Thank you!!!
5) Slug checked out a couple of the events at the National Poetry Slam. It was a pleasure to have him around...outside of the hiphop environment. This was the first time he got to witness poetry slams of this calibur, so it inspired him to involve himself. At one point we were standing outside of a hotel at 4 AM...I was beatboxing and he was doing the lyrics to "Lonely Summer" for a friend of mine named Rachel. Me, Slug, and Rachel were trading off poems and raps at 4 AM on the street corner.
6) The first night at the Nationals ended around 6 AM. All the insomniacs of the poetry world (more than a few) were standing outside of my hotel so i decided to check out what was happening. This one guy named Ben started the cipher and people traded off poems until 6 AM. Intense. Made me wonder why I waste my time at hiphop events.
7) I went to a local hiphop show in Minneapolis and got to freestyle at the end of the show. Most people in the crowd didn't know who I was so I got to hit many of them from a surprise angle. It made me freestyle better...because I cared more...and it was just fun and less demanding. Then I remembered why I waste my time at hiphop events.
Seriously though....there are so many things I want to write about. And explain how they relate to other things that I believe matter to us all. But that's not happening. I have a full album to finish. I have cover art to work on. i finally sent out all the mail orders, but I've got shows and tours to plan. I shit blood the other day. I stay up until 6 AM every single morning trying to bang away the last bit of business online. I gorget to eat until 5 or 6 PM sometimes...and then I have my one meal. My mind is currently racing but fuck it....all i want you to know is I HAVE NOT SLOWED DOWN. My agenda builds every day...my schedule is packed, my thoughts are connecting, and I admittedly neglect this messageboard but it has to be that way. i never thought i would be here...and I am.
thanks everybody. seriously. I have a whole new bag of tricks to work with.

on top of all this, I would like to say that I really have some of the best fans.
I use the word "fan" in the most respectful way possible. Y'all have been writing and sending me some wonderful things.
And it's dope to see repeat audiences everywhere I go. I recognize people who repeat their attendance to my shows...and it makes me feel good.
Also....ah man....I thwarted a couple bootlegging scams. You should be proud. But I can't go into detail.
Ummm...what else....OH, haha...i PUNKED yet another "business man" trying to gas me on some major label talk.
It's fucking GREAT to be a successful independent artist. Absolutely wonderful for reasons such as these.

no, but the crowds have changed. And their reactions are different. And it's a totally different game when you are performing for a scrutinizing group of people who already know what you have done and they're waiting to be satisfied.
Also...there are crowds that are satisfied with ANYTHING. and that doesn't help much either. Sometimes I do something with the intention of getting hissed or booed. If that doesn't happen I'm like "Um...ok...well...you take abuse well. good for you."
My performances are NEVER about business. Ever. I will always be the antithesis of that shit. I really can't help it. It's wack to just give the people what they think they want.

sage, its good to hear some happiness coming from your screen name cause i just pretty recently joined this board but you tend to sound stressed and annoyed.
seriously though, the internet is an amazing place, this board is an interesting new tool of evolution. the level of interaction that is allowed with it is making so many people aware. not just of music and films and pop culture but of some kind of progression. im sure that sounds cheesy to most but for me your interaction with the people of the web adds and complements your music very much.

Spin does a scale of 1-10. Rolling stone does 1-5 stars. Stone is a rag. Spin is usually bearable...which was it?

Anyone have that one Steve Martin record where he catches someone in the audience bootlegging his show? It's hysterical, I'm surprised no one has sampled it before.

Roger through in Basel
21.10.2008 | Tennis
Roger won his first round in Basel today. He endured a tricky 6-3 6-7 (6) 6-3 win over Bobby Reynolds to reach the second round at the Swiss Indoors.
"I didn't really have so much time to get used to the conditions," Roger said after the match. "I was only able to hit here for two hours in practice. He served very well and it the corners, it was tough to read."
Our two-time defending champion took the first set but was taken to a tie-break in a tight second. He clawed his way back from 5-1 down before the American world number 86 clinched it 8-6 to force the decider, but Roger came through.
he has many powerful hits now too just Nie has heavy serves and returns but now!!!
Rog had so powerful start and now something happened, Nie had hard returns and serves it's viewable but i mean on Roger's face, be strong Roger!!! it's heavy but if someone you can do it!!!!!
I tried the justintv.com and it says the web page can't find it. Oh well I will just go back over to the other one even if there is no sound. but thaks for trying boting.
No sound
No sound
I am watching Roger's match on that justintv radio misx2 but there is no sound. Is anyone else having any problems with this??
break and what hot shots in all games in the previous the ball started to write a curve in the air at that bh at the net just Nie hit it into the net but the ball started to curve so much wich was unbelievable!!
what serves and bh!!! powerful opening!!!
ok here we go, not a spare seat in the house! 1st game to roger!
Go Roger!!!!
Allez Rogi!!!!
Allez Rogi!!!!

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It was standing room only in a meeting Tuesday afternoon with city officials and Cherry Tree Crossing neighbors.
Augusta Housing Authority officials took the time to explain what this means for the 389 families who live in the complex who could be moving out next summer.
"I'm just ready for something new. I feel like there was a lot of people in there. They are used to this, they don't want the change," said Lamonie Brown, who lives in Cherry Tree Crossing.
"I'm glad they are going to tear it down, but this should have been done years ago, you know, before I even moved in here, is the way that I feel feel," said Lolita Booker, who also lives in Cherry Tree Crossing.
The Augusta Housing Authority plans to demolish the entire neighborhood and replace it with a mixed-use development. The proposed deal would demolish the Section 8 housing neighborhood and replace it with a mixed-use development.
If the plan is approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, residents could be packing up as early as next summer because it would take up to nine months to a year to move everyone out. Residents would have to choose between taking a voucher for other housing or moving to another public housing complex.
The Housing Authority says they wants to meet with every family and that no one will go anywhere without a 90-day notice.

The little known "Chinese Goblet Escape" is an amazing illusion for platform, parlor or smaller venues.
A chain is looped around a cut glass goblet and placed into a solid cherry case. The chain is passed through a small opening in the front of the door and the door latched. The cabinet is locked. And the chain passes through the goblet stem and is pulled out of the opening. The door is opened and the goblet and chain are still intact.

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. - Never one to pass up an invitation to enjoy good food and shoot the breeze about classic motorcycles, Dealernews in early December headed to the Troy Lee Designs boutique where the company was launching a line of Peter Fonda replica riding gear.
The Easy Rider himself was there, modeling the new gear, telling stories from his film career, and causing large crowds of people to quickly form outside TLD's storefront in tony Laguna Beach, Calif.
As the anti-establishment poster child of the 1969 classic, Fonda still represents all the great things that made the era. The 1960s may be long gone, but the red, white and blue Captain America design still makes a statement.

The Captain America helmet graphic returns to grace TLD's open-face, three-quarter lid, a special colorway edition that retails for $425. Matching Captain America gloves are available for $75 retail, plus an array of T-shirts and caps.

text: What do you find are the best careers for moms? After Bean is born I will be going back to school. I have an Associate's Degree, but am at a cross-roads of what to do. I work in the hospital now, just in a secretarial setting, but have been considering going into nursing. The 3 day work-week and high demand seem like a no-brainer for a mom.
