Silver Screen Knits, Volume Two
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, it's been an exciting few weeks. Not only is it American tax season (mailed ours off this morning), but I had a rather large birthday (no, I will not tell you the number) and today we are beginning preorders for print copies of Silver Screen Knits, Volume Two.
- If you would like a 20% discount code to preorder Volume Two, sign up for the SSK: Behind the Scenes e-newsletter and it'll pop right into your mailbox.
Volume Two will be published on May 15, 2014 and includes patterns by Susanna I-C, Ann Weaver, Tanis Gray, Danielle Romanetti, Becky Wolf, and me.
Just like Volume One, the book includes introductions to each inspiration movie, memorable quotes from the movie, and descriptions of what to look for as you're watching the film – plus, eleven gorgeous patterns!
Some of the movies that inspired us this time: Rear Window, How to Marry a Millionaire, The Great Gatsby (1974), Singin' in the Rain, and East of Eden. We got carried away by a few of these films; Susanna I-C ended up designing three patterns (two sweaters and a shawl) inspired by Grace Kelly in Rear Window, while Becky Wolf and I tackled Mia Farrow and Robert Redford in The Great Gatsby, and Becky created a stunning cardigan based on the same film that inspired my Sophia Loren pullover from Knitty Deep Fall 2013.
And then there's the Gene Kelly vest from Singin' in the Rain, Ann Weaver's version of a sweater worn by James Dean in East of Eden, a pretty lacy skirt inspired by Brigitte Bardot, some lovely versatile fingerless gloves by Tanis Gray, and a cardigan inspired by Lauren Bacall. You can see photos of all these garments over on the print pre-order page, so even if you aren't sure about buying do go on over and check it out.
Print pre-orders include an e-mailed link to download a PDF of the e-book; those e-mails will also go out on May 15.
To celebrate the book's release, in the coming weeks you'll see:
- The release (due to popular demand) of two Volume One patterns as single digital patterns on Ravelry;
- A true, illustrated-with-photos tale of my meeting a wild and crazy movie star;
- Photos of one of the Volume One patterns on Becky and me, with advice on altering the pattern to fit you;
- Interviews with the Volume One designers (previously exclusive to the SSK Behind the Scenes e-newsletter); and more.
So, as they say, watch this space. Also, Happy Birthday to me, and congratulations to everyone who sent their taxes on time. Most of all, as always, thank you so much for your support.

Belated Happy Birthday wishes! Also, the SSK 2 designs look stunning!

Foundation Part IV, Prologue Summary
"The Traders"
- Encyclopedia Galactica: This entry focuses on a group called the Traders. Although they spent little time on Terminus—too busy playing Pawn Stars across the galaxy—they eventually built an empire even larger than the pseudo-religion of the Foundation's past.
- They also took as a motto the words of this guy, Salvor Hardin. Maybe you've heard of him? Their epigram of choice: "Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right!" (IV.Prologue.3).

Penguins 4, Ducks 3 - 11-03-09
-Hey, guess where we are:
-Hmmm... not quite:
-We assume, a dusty, chilly cubicle in the Post-Gazette's building is just as nice as sunny, warm Southern California.
-One person who is there is EN reader Eric Naughton who has been sending us a ton of pregame photos. A Paul Coffey jersey:
-A Russian Evgeni Malkin t-shirt jersey:
-Mario Lemieux yellow:
-Mario Lemieux Wales Conference All-Star:
-Tyler Kennedy:
-Jersey foul with the hood. And that begs the question, is it really that cold in Anaheim? The answer? No:
-These Penguins fans came prepared to keep their beers cold:
-What in the world are the Ducks wearing:
-That's George Parros, a native of Washington, Pa., wearing some sort of black and white camouflage uniform. Yeesh.
-We dug up the answer to that question. The Ducks are wearing those jersey for warm ups for an event called Operation Homefront which benefits veterans. Good stuff by the Ducks.
-The Penguins' scratches are Chris Conner and Evgeni Malkin.
-The Ducks' scratches are Erik Christensen and James Wisniewski.
-Marc-Andre Fleury and Jonas Hiller are your starting goaltenders.
-In honor of all the countless "so and so used to play for the Penguins/Ducks" references we're bound to hear tonight, we'll simply use pictures. For Chris Kunitz, we found this really awesome photo of him with the CIncinnati Mighty Ducks, Anaheim's old AHL affiliate. Check out his emo bangs:
-For Ryan Whitney, a really cool (pardon the pun) Winter Classic shot:
-For Dan Bylsma:
-For Randy Carlyle:
-By our count, we've already had:
and one:
17:10: The Penguins have Chris Bourque, Mike Rupp and Eric Godard manning the fourth line.
16:03: Another early deficit for the Penguins. Scott Niedermayer keeps a Penguins clearing attempt in the zone at the left point. He whips it at the net. It hits a body in front. Perry spins, falls and is able to whip the loose puck by Fleury on the glove side. Heck of an effort by the Ducks to generate that chance. Niedermayer gets the only assist. "Bro Hymn" by Pennywise is played. Ducks 1-0.
15:12: Ruslan Fedotenko lifts a heavy wrister from the slot. Hiller fights it off with his blocker.
15:06: Todd Marchant chucks a shot on net from the left wing. Fleury eats it up.
12:38: Petteri Nokelainen races up the right wing, collects a loose puck and rips a wrister far and wide to the net.
12:25: Hiller steers away a chance by Cooke.
11:00: Ryan Carter is called for interference on Jay McKee. SIdney Crosby, Bill Guerin, Chris Kunitz, Kris Letang and Alex Golgoski are on for the power play. And:
10:08: Letang takes a pass from Crosby in the right faceoff circle. He hammers a one-timer that appears to hit a player high. The Ducks clear it down ice.
9:35: Letang leads the rush up ice and dishes a pass to... the skates of a Ducks player. Anaheim clears it down ice.
9:00: The Ducks do a marvelous job and kill off Carter's penalty. The Penguins really looked bad there. Anaheim cleared the puck about five times there.
8:50: Hiller traps a wrister by Skoula against his chest. Coming back from commercial:
8:45: Brenden Mikkelson is nabbed for delay of game as he cleared the puck out of play. Crosby, Guerin, Kunitz, Goligos
8:33: Crosby fires a slapper from the right point. It's blocked wide.
8:23: Guerin can't jam one in by Hiller down low.
8:08: After a shot by Goligoski and pass by Crosby are blocked, the Ducks clear the puck.
7:26: Guerin rips a wrister from the slot. The Ducks have about 432 people in the crease. One of hte blocks the shot.
6:44: Mickkelson's penalty is cleared. The Penguins looked a little better there but couldn't get much on net.
6:08: Ryan Getzlaf blocks a slapper by Skoula from the left point.
5:49: Getzlaf chucks a puck towars the crease from the right wing. Fleury has to lunge out a bit to kick it out with his right leg. As he does that, Bobby Ryan runs him over. That's two minutes for goaltender interference. As Paul Steigerwald points out, the Penguins need to score eventually or the Ducks will keep on taking liberties. Crosby, Guerin, Kunitz, Letang and Goligoski take the ice
5:24: Guerin loses the puck on the left wing. Nokelainen steals and pushes it up ice to kill time.
4:34: Goligoski controls the puck at the left point, skates towards the slot a bit and tosses it at the cage. Guerin appears to deflect it a bit. Hiller is able to hug the puck against his body and freeze play. Crosby remains on the ice with Guerin, Jordan Staal, Skoula and Mark Eaton.
4:06: The Ducks clear the puck down ice agains the pseudo jay-vee power play.
3:48: As Ryan's penalty is killed, Mike Brown clears the puck. Ugh. The Penguins are 0 for 3.
2:57: Another power play for the Penguins. Can they decline? Old nemesis Saku Koivu is nabbed for hitting Eaton into the boards from behind. That's two minutes. Crosby, Kunitz, Guerin, Letang and Goligoski are on to waste two minutes for the power play.
2:55: The Penguins don't even let the Ducks clear the puck. They clear it themselves! Crosby wins the faceoff and Letang isn't ready for it and the puck slides all the way down ice.
2:20: Goligoski hammers a slapper wide of the cage. A Duck clears the rebound down ice.
1:42: Crosby can't ckeep the puck in in the offensive zone as his stick is lumberjacked in half. No call.
1:14: THe first shot on the power play takes place. Unfortunately for the Penguins, it's Ryan Carter who gets it on net. Fleury fights it off.
0:57: The Ducks kill another penalty. Yeesh.
0:00: End of period. Ducks 1, Penguins 0 .
-Well, if it's not for the wasted eight minutes of power play time, that's actually a decent period for the Penguins.
-This power play is baffling. We understand they don't have Sergei Gonchar or Evgeni Malkin, but the remaining pieces aren't too bad. You have a proven 100-point scorer in Crosby. Two 20-goal guys in Kunitz and Guerin. And two gifted, offensive defensemen in Goligoski and Letang who are capable of skating with the puck and getting it on net. Yet the five of them look like they're trying to disarm a nuclear warhead with a spoon and a box of matches.
-Someone just needs to shoot the dang puck. They seem like they're just waiting and waiting for the perfect shooting opportunity. Get it on net. Kunitz and Guerin thrive around the net and can do some damage with garbage goals.
-Don't discount the Duck's efforts short-handed. They've been outstanding. And having to kill eight minutes of power play time within one period is a lot to ask of any one unit.
-The Penguins have a 9-7 edge in faceoffs.
-Guerin leads the game with three shots.
-No one has more than one.
-Crosby leads the Penguins with 9:22.
-Steve Eminger leads the Ducks with 8:40.
-Faceoffs are 9-9 (50 percent).
-Koivu is 4 for 5 (80 percent).
-Crosby is 6 for 10 (60 percent).
-Getzlaf and Orpik each lead the game with two blocked shots.
19:40: HIller eats up a quick wrister by Crosby.
19:28: Teemu Selanne lugs it up the left wing, pulls up and chucks a shot on net. Fleury fights it off despite a bit of a screen. We still think of Selanne as a Winnipeg Jet:
17:45: Fleury fights off a swrister by Sheldon Brookbank, the brother of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins enforcer Wade Brookbank.
17:30: Kennedy comes up ice on a two-on-one with Cooke. Cooke drives to the net. Kennedy cuts to the crease and snaps off a wrister which Hiller gets a piece of.
17:26: The puck squirts loose. Goligoski jumps on it and has an empty cage to shoot at. He rips a wrister wide of the cage. Uuggghh... He was squeezing his stick a little too much there.
17:21: What a sequence. The rebound from Goligoski's missed shot kick out to the left point. McKee moves up and plays it down to Kennedy on the goal line. Kennedy then dishes it to Rupp in the right faceoff circle. Rupp gets off a quick shot. It kicks off Hiller and trickles into the net. Hiller needs to make that save. Nice effort by the Penguins to maintain possesion of the puck there. Kennedy and McKee get the assists. A skirmish breaks out following the goal. Cooke and Brookbank each get roughing minors. McKee gets an unsportsmanlike minor. The Ducks have a power play. Staal, Pascal Dupuis, Eaton and Orpk are on for the power play. Ducks 1, Penguins 1.
16:19: Letang intercepts a pass by Getzlaf into the slot.
16:12: Adams races up the right wing and whips a low wrister on net. Hiller fights it off.
15:50: Perry has a chance down low
15:20: The Ducks power play is killed. The Penguins didn't really allow much there.
15:09: Ryan has a chance down low but Staal is there to break up his clean shot at an empty cage.
14:34: Oh! We get a surprising:
14:13: A shot by Fedotenko is deflected by Parros out of play
13:40: Letang sneaks down the right wing and puts a shots down low. Hiller makes the save despite having 923 bodies in crease. Evgeny Artyukin runs Letang into the boards and gets him in the face with a stick. No call. Letang needs a little bit of care from trainer Chris Stewart after the stoppage.
12:44: Off a steal in Anaheim's zone, Crosby lifts a wrister from the left wing. Hiller gloves it.
12:22: Dupuis tees up a shot from the right wing. Hiller kicks it out.
11:04: Cooke blocks a point shot by Mikkelson.
10:58: Kennedy comes off the bench, flies up the right wing and smacks a low slapper. Hiller closes the five hole and covers for to freeze play.
9:59: There's the secret to the power play. Just score on the delayed penalty! As the Ducks are called for an apparenty hooking penalty, the Penguins maintain possesion. Letang controls the puck at the left point, slides towards the slot and rips a wrister high. It gets through a cluster of bodies and beats Hiller on the stick side. Orpik gets the only assist. Penguins 2, Ducks 1.
9:38: Skoula lifts a wrister from the right point. HIller punches it out with his right shoulder.
8:51: On a delayed penalty, Selanne comes up on a two-on-one. He elects to shoot. FLeury makes the save. From his stomach Eaton is able to hack the rebound away.
8:43: Kunitz is called for hooking Joffrey Lupul. Staal, Orpik, Mckee and Cooke are on for the kill.
8:40: Off a faceoff, Orpik clears the puck down ice.
7:55: Eaton blocks a shot by Perry coming in from the left wing.
6:43: Kunitz's penalty is killed. Another solid effort by the Penguins.
4:17: McKee blocks a soft snap shot by Niedermayer from the right point.
3:59: Goligoski can't control Perry in front of the net and the Ducks tie the game.Ryan emerges from the corner and dishes a pass to Getzlaf. Getzlaf snaps off a wrister from the right faceoff circle. Fleury makes the intial save. Perry has set up shop right in the crease. Goligoski can't fight him off and Perry is able to clean up the garbage banging the puck behind Fleury. Ryan and Getzlaf get assists. "Bro Hymn" is played. Ducks 2, Penguins 2.
1:11: Crosby hustles up the right wing and leaves a drop pass for Dupuis.Dupuis mishandles the puck in spectacular fashion as he falls over and looses the puck.
0:43: Perry snaps off a tricky wrister from the slot. Fleury makes the save. The Ducks bombard the crease with bodies. Fleury does a snow angel hoping the puck is underneath him. Orpik and others are able to hold off the Ducks as officials blow play dead.
0:00: End of period. Ducks 2, Penguins 2.
-The Penguins rebounded nicely that period. The controlled a lot of play and found a way to get pucks on net. And that's why they have two goals now.
-Its a little distressing that Penguins haven't gotten much offensively from their first two lines the past two games, including tonight. We'd like to see a few more goals from those units.
-Nothing wrong with the Penguins' penalty kill. That special team's unit is doing very well.
-Does Corey Perry deserve some consideration for Canada's Olympic roster?
-Cooke was awarded an assist on Letang's goal.
-Shots are tied, 19-19.
-Perry leads the game with four shots.
-Guerin leads the Penguins with three.
-Ryan Whitney leads the game with 19:19 of ice time.
-Fire Ray Shero!
-Since we haven't been able to use this:
-Goligoski leads the Penguins with 16:12.
-The Penguins have an 18-13 lead faceoffs (58 percent).
-Staal is 6 for 8 (75 percent).
-Koivu is 5 for 8 (63 percent).
-Eaton leads the game with three blocked shots.
-Getzlaf, Brookbank and Niedermayer each have two for Anaheim.
-FSN Pittsburgh's Rob King previews Thursday's game against the Kings with:
-We better get this ready for Thursday as well:
-And before the start of the period:
19:00: Selanne races down the right wing and centers a pass to Koivu in the slot. Koivu attempts to re-direct the puck and it hops over the net.
18:26: With Kennedy, Staal and Cooke re-united, Eaton drives a puck on net from the point. Hiller eats it up.
17:24: A solid backcheck by Bourque separates Selanne from the puck just inside the Penguins' zone.
16:46: Orpik chops a loose puck on net from the left point. The puck hops in on net. Crosby is in the slot and attempts a re-direct but can't get a blade on the puck.
15:00ish: Steigerwald and Bob Errey poke a little fun at George Parros' moustache. If you ask us, with that stache/soul patch combo, he kind of looks like Everett Hitch, Viggo Mortensen's character in "Appaloosa:"
14:43: Hiller makes a save on Rupp in tight.
12:33: From the left wing, Cooke snaps off a wrister to the far side. Hiller kicks it away with his left leg.
12:05: Another goal from the defense gives the Penguins the lead. Staal loses the puck on the right wing. It slides towards the slot. Kennedy drops to his knees and pokes it it back to the point. Goligoski steps up and hammers a slapper by Hiller high on the stick side. Kennedy and Staal get assists. Staal's assist is a pretty good arguement against the idea of the secondary assist. Penguins 3-2.
11:46: The Ducks get it right back. Koivu knocks over Orpik behind the net, steals the puck and jams the puck in on Fleury. Fleury's left leg keeps it out initially but Koivu takes a second stab and sneaks it in. Heck of an effort by Koivu. Fleury needs to make that save. He knows it too as he jabs the wall in frustration. "Bro Hymn" is played. Selanne gets teh only assist. Ducks 3, Penguins 3.
10:47: This is insane. THree goals in less than a minute and half. Oprik slides a pass to Dupuis at the right point, Dupuis hesitates, surveys the situation and cranks a slapper through traffic that beats Hiller on the glove side. What a shot. Where did that come from? Dupuis's usually good for about 1 goal every 843 slap shots. That was probably No. 843. Orpik gets the only assist. Penguins 4-3.
9:43: Koivu is nabbed for interference on Orpik. Crosby, Guerin, Letang, Goligoski and Kunitz take the ice. A goal here would be huge obviously.
9:44: Nick Boynton clears the puck.
9:05: Carter clears the puck.
8:20: The Ducks clear the puck and essentially kill Koivu's penalty. Another weak effort by the Penguins.
5:40: Eminger cranks a slapper at the cage from the right point. It misses the net. Selanne goes behind the cage to collect the rebound and dishes it to Koivu in the slot. Koivu immediately gets off a shot and is simply robbed by Fleury. Yeesh what a save. Koivu grabs his head stunned he didn't score. FSN Pittsburgh showed Koivu getting away with a trip on Eaton to create that chance. Officials review the shot to confirm the non-goal. It remains a non-goal.
4:59: Kennedy puts a shot on net from in tight. Hiller is able to trap the puck against the left post and freeze play.
3:47: Orpik blocks a shot by Boynton from the right point with his his ankles.
3:06: What a save by Crosby! Perry snaps off a shot from the right wing. Fleury makes the save. The rebound kicks out just beyond his reach outside the slot. Fleury lunges out to cover the puck but can't get his glove on it. Niedermayer is in deep, collects the puck and shoots low at the empty cage. Crosby flops ot his left side and stops the puck with his left thigh. Wow! Niedermayer needed to lift that shot.
2:45: Ryan shows patience with the puck moving by a sprawled out Kunitz at the right point. He slide to the wing and snaps off a wrister which Fleury fights off.
2:13: Perry has a chance in tight but cant' take a feed into the slot. He can't get a his stick on the puck.
1:50: Crosby clears the puck of the boards and out of danger. No icing.
1:25: Cooke gets a chance on the right wing and swats a shot wide.
1:00ish:At some point the Ducks pulled HIller. FSN Pittsburgh can't be bothered to show the "empty net" graphic.
0:28: Koivu feeds a puck thourhg the slot to on one.
0:15: Emeger fires a spinning crazy shot wide. Cooke plays the deflected shot up of the boards and out of the zone.
0:08: The Ducks come in offsides. Someone calls a time out.
0:00.6: Orpik plays a puck dumped into the corner and gets hit from behidn by Perry. Perry is sent off for boarding. No surprise Perry is involved in something like that. He's a pretty dirty player.
0:00: End of game. Penguins 4, Ducks 3.
-Whew. That was instense late. The Penguins and Ducks swapped goals in the third. The Penguins emerged with a lead. The Ducks stormed the net late. Fleury and others made some key saves the Penguins pull out a thrilling road win.
-Seems like we saw what value Tyler Kennedy provides to this team. He brings energy and creates scoring chances through that energy. He helped create the Rupp goal by attacking the net and being able to dish a solid pass to Rupp. And he set up Goligoski's goal by being heads up on Staal's turnover.
-Fleury didn't have his best game but he got some help from his teammates and made a fe clutch saves late.
-Amazing what happens when you just start shooting the puck. Especially from the point. The Penguins took some low percentage shots but those created some quality second-chance opportunities, something Dan Bylsma talks about quite a bit, and the Penguins were able to cash them in.
-And when you get some quality shots in from the point, as Letang, Goligoski and Dupuis did, that always helps.
-We often joke that Dupuis doesn't have a shot, but that doesn't prevent him from using it. You might cringe anytime he takes a shot becasue you know there's a 97 percent chance of it being saved, but he's one of the few players on this team that doesn't hesitate to shoot. And as we said, chances are, you can get a second-chance opportunity off of it. We don't mind Dupuis' shot whatsoever. And occasionally, he'll sneak one by a goaltender.
-The power play. As wee can say is:
-Beyond getting Malkin and Gonchar healthy, we don't know of any quick fixes for it.
-Seeing the Ducks score allof their goals with dirty work around the net was a little concerning. The Penguins needed to clear the crease a little better.
-The lack of production from the Crosby-Kunitz-Guerin line for the second consecutive game is a little troubling. Perhaps with Malkin sidelined, teams are concentrating their defensive efforts on that line.
-We had to slam it since it keyed the comeback in Columbus, but has anyone seen some semblence of a second line the past two games?
-Jonas Hiller was not sharp whatsoever.
-The Ducks ended up with a 29-27 lead in shots.
-Lupul led the game with five.
-Guerin, Kennedy, Rupp and Letang each led the Penguins with three.
...led the game with 28:37 of ice time.
-Fire Ray Shero.
-Letang led the Penguins with 23:46 of ice time.
-Faceoffs were even 25-25 (50 percent).
-Koivu was 11 for 15 (73 percent).
-Staal was 6 for 10 (60 percent).
-Eaton, Orpik, Letang and Niedermayer each led the game with three shots.
-So... Crosby falls into the crease blocking a potential, clutch game-winning shots and he a whiny imature brat. Mike Richards falls into the crease trying to run over Marc-Andre Fleury with the game pretty much decided and he's Abraham Lincoln.
-Bill Guerin appeared in his 1,200th career game.
-Jordan Staal scored his 125 career point.
-Kennedy moved past Mark Johnson for 111th place on the team's all-time scoring list. Each player has 62 points, but Kennedy (30) has more goals than Johnson (23).
-Kennedy is actually only four points away from breaking into the team's top 100 career scorers.
-Letang scored his first regular season goal since a season-ending 3-1 win in Montreal, April 11.
-Orpik passed up Jim Johnson for 24 place on the team's all-time career games played list. Orpik now has 391 games. Johnson had 390.
-This was only the Penguins' second win in California this decade. Yeesh.
-The Penguins' 7-0 start on the road this season ties the NHL record set by the 1940-41 Maple Leafs, 1985-86 Flyers, 2005-06 Red Wings and the current New Jersey Devils.

I feel good man, I feel like hard work is paying off.
Since the success of that "A Milli" joint how has the response been from the different A&R's and label executives in regards to the business aspect?
I've been getting a lot more phone calls than usual. Some surprising phone calls that I wasn't expecting to receive out the blue. Because its part of the Lil Wayne movement and it's a platinum selling album in its first week its pretty historical right now...like some kind of TV sitcom on some Young and the Restless type of shit lol. It's pretty overwhelming right now but I just look at it all as a blessing.
Do you feel that you're at the high point of a natural cycle of valleys and peaks that come with having a prolonged career in the music business?
Yea that's just how the game is. It's just unfortunate that people in the industry act real 'industry' as far as some of my peers. They're just now coming around, but I've been right here all along.
And now they're jumping on it...
You always had niggas that recognize talent but then you have others that are surprised that I made the beat as if to say I'm not on that level. Makes me wonder how was you hearing my other shit because it's all the same level.
Do you think that's due to the A Milli track not being a typical "Bangladesh" track or are they just straight underestimating your production ability?
It's like the track is so hot they just can't believe I made it. I don't think the sound is much different because it's the same drums and 808's I always use. I don't have a signature sound so without the Bangladesh in front of it you probably wouldn't know that I made it. It's not like a Neptunes or a Timbaland sound where as soon as you hear it you know it's from them but that's how I like it because I don't want my shit to sound the same.
With the success of the Lil Wayne album has that change your view on the music game from a creative perspective?
As far as the music that's being put out there man it's just too many dictators and overseers that don't make music in the game. With the politics involved, the Industry has become its own worst enemy. Albums ain't selling but you're cutting down budgets and putting out bullshit. Not to say you need a lot of money to make good music because you don't, you just need to find the right people to fuck with what you're trying to do. As long as the goal is to make good shit and not just follow what everybody else is doing then you're on the right path. A lot of times ni**as just want to make the catchiest shit so they can get instant recognition instead of focusing on good music. Once we can change the dictators ni**as might start selling albums again by getting back to real artistry.
Lil Wayne became more like an instrument than just a rapper so no matter what the beat sound like he can make it sound good. Most people can't do that...when you can reach to that level where no matter what's going on the audience is paying attention only to you. Like how Pac used to have it.
Give us a comparative between Pac and Lil Wayne
The difference between Wayne and Pac is Pac used to say stuff so the only thing Wayne has to do now to take it to a whole OTHER level is to start saying relevant shit. Not just coming off the top with hot metaphors but kicking some shit about politics, real street shit and things that people go through on a daily basis. If he takes it to that level then he will have that 'Pac Effect' where niggas is really hanging on to his every word
Do you think if Lil Wayne went in that direction he would run into resistance from the 'powers that be'?
Most definitely you will have that but he's just so hot right now he's like a puppet master so he can pretty much do whatever he wants to do. He has total control right now and I think he needs to really utilize the opportunity to the fullest. He can be a real icon.
Lil Wayne's current success comes off of him being a 10 year vet in the business. Is it possible for a new artist to have that level of impact on the game?
There's always talent. There are people better than Lil Wayne or Jay-Z out in the streets right now. It's just about taking advantage of your opportunities and making a name for yourself instead of waiting for someone to do it for you. That's what separates the great people from the regular people. For instance you had dudes on the courts that were better than Jordan but Jordan went to college, played the situation correctly and now he's the greatest. Even if you play him one on one in the park and beat him nobody's going to know except you and him. You got to do the necessary things to be successful.
One thing I like about the Milli track is it brought lyricism back to the mainstream, especially with all the remixes with the different artists 'blacking out' over the instrumental. Was that the intention when you created the track?
Nah actually that's the genius of Lil Wayne that I didn't see because being a producer I'm trying to sequence the song properly so it can get on the radio so I'm thinking 'give me the hook, verse, hook, verse, etc...The way he did it and the way he approached it is the whole reason why you have other dudes going in on the track like that. It shows how great the song is because it's not sequenced for radio format but its # 1 added to radio. It's a great thing because it's going against everything I thought. There's been plenty of shit that I don't like that works but when it comes to my shit if I don't like it I'm not going to ride with it until I got proof otherwise and with the A Milli record I knew it would be a hit on a street level but never thought it would smash the radio like it did.
How do you feel when you have some people that would give the credit of the success of the track all to Lil Wayne?
If you look at my track record of all the artists I've worked with in both R&B and rap you already know I'm no one hitter quitter or just got lucky off of one hot beat. I'm consistent with my shit and I want to be respected for being a producer that can keep bringing that heat again and again over the years. A lot of producers like to keep driving that one sound to the ground but I like to change shit and go against the grain because I hate fucking with the same shit over and over again. I've actually heard some people say that Wayne didn't do the track justice so it's all just a matter of opinion but I know with me personally I believe the track is a monster! I don't care how simple it is because simplicity often is more genius than being complex.
I agree. The track also have a lot of older females that normally wouldn't fall into the normal Lil Wayne fan demographic rocking to it as well
Man I know a lady that doesn't fuck with rap music at all much less Wayne and she loves the song. I actually think there's some kind of connection between the screwed up voice and the females. Just like nobody can't explain exactly how McDonalds be having the kids just going crazy, maybe some secret chemical ingredient they put in the food that triggers something in the kids...it's the same thing with that deep screwed up voice and the ladies. Females already tend to call their boyfriend's 'daddy' so maybe it's some kind of authority type of thang.
Did you realize that going into making the track, or just now?
Nah man just now lol. A lot of times it's not until after I do something that I realize why I did it in the first place. Sometimes you just be making shit and not really know that it's going to end up being a hood classic or a pop hit. It's not something you can really plan.
This is the first time I really had a hit like this. What's Your Fantasy (Ludacris) has the same elements of this song...it's a whole other beat but as far as being open where you can hear every sound and there is like four, five sounds it's the same thing. I realized my biggest records are the ones that are simple and gives a lot of room for the artist to do what they have to do without getting confused and asking a lot questions.
How would you describe Bangladesh the person?
I'm just real man, nothing sugar coated straight genuine not fake. You have to be phony in this game for ni**as to really be cool with you, it's like they want you to be fake.
If you wer like that the name Bangladesh would probably be more recognizable.....
You're absolutely right. It's a double edged sword but I was cool with that because I knew that this day would come where more dudes would be checking for me and I was going to do it the way I wanted to do it. Nobody is doing it their own way, instead they're adapting to what they have to do and become a person they're really not.
What's next on your plate?
I'm in the process of setting up things in the way they need to be setup. I'm still working with different artists...got the Busta Rhymes joint which should be the next single, Tay Dizm who's T-Pain's artist, getting into some work with Ciara. Opportunities can come at any time so I just keep working and grinding. I'm also working on my own album, not to be on some cliché producer make an album shit but I got a lot of different music to put out not only rap and R&B but also some alternative music.
Any last words especially to the younger producers coming up
I tell everybody to just get their craft right before you think you really have that hot shit. There are too many producers that won't take the time to perfect their shit before they really go out looking for work. Bring something unique to the table and stop using the same sounds everybody else is using. Take it to the next level and make it about good music and not the money. Music first, money second.

OAKLAND -- More than a decade and millions of dollars after the first glimmer of inspiration, the massive "Remember Them: Champions for Humanity" memorial was completed Friday with the installation of the fourth segment, which bears the likeness of Joaquin Miller, Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Harvey Milk, "Mother" Mary Ann Wright and Fred Korematsu, an Oakland native who took his challenge of the detention of Japanese-Americans during World War II to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"You can see their sense of humanity," Kaiser Permanente Chairman Officer George Halvorson said. The medical group was a key donor to the $8 million project. "Oakland needs this place of healing," Halvorson told a crowd of about 150 gathered for the ceremony in the small park on 19th Street near the Fox Theater named for Henry J. Kaiser, whose likeness is also embedded in the newest and tallest addition. "California and the nation needs this place of healing," he said.
The artist Mario Chiodo was inspired by the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, to create the memorial installed in the park section by section since September 2011.
The first section bore the likeness of 25 leaders who the artist said influenced the world for the better, such as Malcolm X, Susan B. Anthony, Cesar Chavez and Maya Angelou.
"It's been a long time since I looked up at hope as if it weren't a slogan but an act of protest," Oakland School for the Arts poet Kerby Lynch told the crowd. "Let this be for you, so you can remember what an act of courage looks like."
The final touch Friday was a "visually impaired wall" to allow those with sight impairments to explore the characters on the monument through touch.
The sculptures "show us who we are and who we should emulate," said Gary Newell, of the Lions Center for the Blind and a consultant who helped design the wall. He said until he encountered "Remember Them" he did not know Malcolm X wore glasses. "No one ever told me."
John Paul Marcelo, a local landscape artists, called the monument amazing. "The size of it, the natural color of the bronze and, of course, the figures."
Friday's installment was supposed to be in place by mid-2012 but the pace of fundraising delayed the completion¿ of the project donated by the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce. Complaints arose several years ago when the city gave the chamber $182,000 in redevelopment money to help pay for the installation that was supposed to be a gift.
Now complete, the memorial -- designed on a spiraling axis emulating "the helix of the common DNA of all humans" -- fills the small park where OSA students skateboard or just recline on the base of the statues. "Remember Them," however, also sparked controversy early on over aesthetics.
"Mario took insults along with accolades," said Ruby Bridges, known as the first black child to attend an all-white elementary school in the South. She is also included in the monument.
"Mario did not do this on his own. You brought this to life," she said Friday, crediting the donors, fundraisers and army of people who "played a significant part in making this a reality."

Now In Bloom: Jo Malone London's Coveted New Candle
Aromatic plants, exquisite botanicals and precious greenery have always been at the heart of Jo Malone London's unshakably chic fragrances. This lush heritage is especially evident in the house's newest debut, a limited-edition Rose & Rosemary Scented Candle. First available exclusively on ShopBAZAAR, the candle was inspired by a rambling English garden, bursting with roses, fresh rosemary and woody sage.
To celebrate the release of the verdant candle, and in honor of its rustic and atmospheric heritage, Jo Malone London has partnered with the New York Restoration Project, a non-profit founded by Bette Midler that's dedicated to restoring parks, gardens and open spaces throughout the five boroughs. Recent efforts have focused on rescuing the Gil Hodges Community Garden in Gowanus, Brooklyn, transforming the often-flooded space into a revived landscape by the use of pavers that redirect storm water for irrigation. Plans are also in the works to create a "Fragrance Walk" in the revamped urban space, which will serve as a learning garden and feature a selection of plants based on notes within Jo Malone London's bouquet of fragrances, such as magnolia and allspice. "Gardens are the heart of communities all over the world and represent a major source of inspiration for Jo Malone London," says Maureen Case, President of Jo Malone London. Even the dark green vase of the Rose & Rosemary candle hints at this cause, and the hope that one beautiful garden will lead to another.
Plus, read the Q&A with London interior designer Rose Uniacke on Bazaar.com for tips on how to incorporate fragrance as an element of home dècor.

Relief for the overwhelmed mind from Cateura, Paraguay and rapper Macklemore
We're facing the possibility that we live in a society where mass shootings have become a way of life – and we're basically powerless to change it. Dealing with the prospect of becoming embroiled in a war in which we have little interest, and want no part of – and yet, our only hope of avoiding it lies in the hands of an egomaniacal former KGB agent and a Middle Eastern "thug and murderer."
Depressing? To say the least.
So today, let's take a different tack. Let's call it Uplift Wednesday and focus on a little prescriptive relief for the overwhelmed mind.
Take two of these…
The first item is a remarkable three-and-a-half minute video about a slum built on top of a landfill in Cateura, Paraguay. I'm sure you're thinking: oh yeah, real uplifting. Watch the clip. And if you want more (and I bet you will), read this NBC News report.
The second is a video of Macklemore's, "Same Love." It's one of the most powerful songs I've heard. So strong that I believe it could become a civil rights anthem. And yet, it's a hip-hop tune that promotes equality for gays. Sung by a white rapper.
If for no other reason, listen to it because it probably breaks a record for busting stereotypes.
Last month, the song won the 2013 MTV Video Music Award for best hip-hop video with a social message. It was further honored by a North Carolina school board earlier this month when they decided to suspend a teacher for three days for showing it to middle school students. Congrats, Macklemore. That's quite a tribute.
So, kick back, take a deep breath and let some sense and understanding flow over you…

Root Vegetable Fries with Garlic Rosemary Aioli
I've got a little confession to make. This is built for a crowd (or about half of my family) and should feed 6-8 people. Not us! If we ever lose our metabolism, we are in for some serious fat pants. As the bowls of fries left my 'studio' they were quickly drained and ditto for the following two pans as they came out of the oven. Yikes. But, they're veggies, so no guilt here. Just astounded by how much we can pack it in.
But what? The aioli? Yeah, I don't worry about that. Homemade mayo = ingredient and quality control. Plus, it's hard for me to overeat healthy fats.
I made a variation of this a few weeks ago but they were bland and unimpressive. Then I realized today how hard it is to pass up a fry. Even if it's baked and made from turnips! Sometimes it's good to be a procrastinator.
Nick is my biggest critic and even he said, "Yeah, these are good." Not exactly the glowing sonnet that was going through my head...When asked which vegetable fry was the best, "they all bring something to the party." And folks, it is a party. No question.
Pinch a small handful between your fingertips and grip tightly to dunk them. As you bite down, your teeth will zip through a soft but not soggy vegetable fiesta. When the aioli hits your tongue, you just may be tempted to send me a thank you card. But it's ok. A friendly email or comment will do just fine. Cash must be sent through the mail.
Now, let's get to it before I break out in song.
Root Vegetable Fries with Garlic Rosemary Aioli
Aioli adapted from Epicurious
Serves 6-8
2 large carrots
1 large sweet potato
1 turnip
1 rutabaga
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons sea salt
Pinch of black pepper, or more to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Peel the carrots, sweet potato, turnip, and rutabaga. I have found that a sharp knife is easier for peeling the thick skin from the turnip and rutabaga. Cut the vegetables into French fry-shaped pieces.
Toss in a large bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Either divide between three large rimmed baking sheets or bake in three batches. It is extremely important to give the vegetables lots of space or they won't brown and you'll end up with soggy fries.
Bake on a middle rack for 15 minutes. Flip the fries with a spatula and bake for 10-15 more minutes. Watch carefully towards the end so they don't burn.
Garlic Rosemary Aioli
Makes about 1 cup
3/4 cup mayonnaise (I use homemade and it's worth the extra step)
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, chopped slightly
1/4 teaspoon dried mustard
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Few grinds of black pepper
In a small bowl, whisk ingredients until fully combined.
The flavor develops more if aioli is made ahead of time and refrigerated for a few hours, but it's not necessary.
Use the aioli for dipping or pouring over the fries.
Any extra aioli adds intense flavor to your sandwich, chicken salad, or salmon cakes...You get the picture.

Made these twice and I love them. Important to understand they shrink as they bake so you need to cut the fries large, and that means selecting vegetables that are large to start. Not so easy to find large turnips, so the fries are small and hard to pick up. Also 400 seems a little hot for oven. Mine were getting black if i waited 15 minutes before turning.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm so glad you love them! If your oven seems hot, just keep an eye on them so they don't burn. It also could be your pan. I usually cut all my veggies the same size, so since the turnips to tend to be smaller, there are usually fewer of those.Delete
Thanks for the comment :)
What's your mayo recipe, Loretta? I've made aioli before (I really, really like garlic) but I don't remember what I did about the mayo.ReplyDeleteReplies

I always use this one and it's never failed me!Delete
You just have to have a food processor that allows you to add oil while it's running.
Garlic is up there as one of my favorites too! Thankfully my hubby doesn't complain about my breath if I feed him some too :)

Thanks! I am tempted to make myself some sweet potato fries right now, but with only one sweet potato and a house full of kids, do you think I'll get any?Delete
Good luck! When I make sweet potato fries, I use at least 2, usually 3 for the 3 of us. We go through them like crazy. If you want some, you'll probably have to hoard them!Delete

Watching Ads: Job and Pastime
August 20, 2007
Given how we're all cramming as much ad-supported media through our skulls as we possibly can these days, you'd think the one thing we need a break from is advertising. Yet sheep that we are, we can't get enough of it. Consider this first story from ABC7.com:
When signing up for Brightspot, users fill out a personal profile and receive ads targeted to their interests. Brightspot co-founder Aaron Martins calls it a whole new way for people to interact with commercials... Brightspot pays users from 25-to-50-cents for watching and evaluating ads. The money can be applied for subscriptions to companies like Napster or Gamefly.
I've been on Brightspot for awhile now, and while the publishing partners haven't hooked me in yet, it's easy to see how people will get sucked in. You have to answer a few survey questions after each ad, which then disappear if you wait too long, so you can't click the ads and take a leisurely bathroom break.
Then there's this story from The New York Times:
For example, veryfunnyads.com, a broadband Web site operated by the TBS cable network, has delivered more than 63 million video clip views since its introduction last August...
The USA Network unit of NBC Universal, part of General Electric, also intends to climb aboard the pitch wagon celebrating advertising as entertainment with an online effort centered on brand-centric content.
Plans call for a Web site next year that would include commercials and movie trailers as well as features like social networking and tools that would let visitors make ads of their own. The site is tentatively named didja.com, as in "Didja see that?"
"It's all about relevance," said Chris McCumber, senior vice president for marketing and brand strategy at USA Network. "Consumers want to be entertained on their own time, on their own terms."
The Times gets into the irony of these sites blossoming just as digital video recorders give us more power to skip the ads. Yet now you have these sites that are all about viewing ads, either for rewards or entertainment.
I'm just waiting for the brilliant minds that convince us to pay to watch ads.
Oh wait - from our attention spans to the money the ads help make us spend, we already do in full.

First we had the Holy Ghost Hokey Pokey at Rick Joyner's Morningstar Church; now we have the Harlem Shake (google it if you're not familiar) – only this time it's at Saddleback Church's High School Ministry. You know what this reminds me of? It reminds me of that scene in The Ten Commandments where the Israelites persuaded Aaron to build a golden calf and then they wantonly danced around it.
I'd definitely say there is sin in the camp. Rick Warren boasts himself to be a leader, and with what the youth in his church are being taught, I'd say the future of the visible church looks mighty bleak. Young revelers of today are the leaders of tomorrow – and they're being taught this in the church!
Have a look. This video was posted on Saddleback Church's own High School Ministry Youtube page.

Sacred Animals of Ancient Egypt
Coffin of an Ichneumon
Two Ibis coffins
Coffin of a Cat
Coffin of an Ichneumon in the form of the goddess Wadjet
Last peroid (7th-5th century BCE)
The ichneumon (mongoose) was revered for its ability to kill snakes and crush crocodile eggs. Together with the shrew-mouse, it was regarded as the animal manifestation of the sun god Horus at Letopolis in the Delta, whose name, "the Blind and the Seeing", reflects the complete daily cycle of day and night. The ichneumon, active during the day, represented daytime sunlight, while the shrew-mouse, a nocturnal animal, symbolized the darkness of night.
The ichneumon became a sacred animal of the lion-headed goddess Wadjet as a result of religious developments of the Late Period, when local traditions were frequently linked, and new mythic associations were established. The deities of the Delta cities of Letopolis and Buto became associated through myth, and the ichneumon - a sacred animal of Horus of Letopolis - became a sacred animal of the goddess Wadjet of Buto.
Unlike other sacred animals, which were usually placed in coffins made in their form or in boxes surmounted by figurines depicting their image, mummified ichneumons were occasionally placed in statuettes of the lion-headed goddess Wadjet. The most common type depicts the goddess seated on a throne, usually crowned by the uraeus - the rearing fire-spewing cobra at the king's brow, with which Wadjet was identified. The throne, or a base attached to it, which was usually hollow, contained the mummified ichneumon.

Game of Thrones is a site for the HBO-series based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
George R.R. Martin clarifies the situation for international viewers, in regards to if and when they will be able to watch HBO's Game of Thrones on television in their native countries. GRRM goes through a list of countries and territories:
Canada: HBO Canada will air it at the same days and times as in the U.S. Canada, the show will be seen on HBO Canada, same days and times as in the US.
Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, and Chile: It will air on HBO Latin America, though days and times may vary.
France: It will air on Orange.
Israel: It will air on DBS.
Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Czech Republic: It will air on HBO Central Europe
Asia: It will be offered by HBO Asia to countries within their territory, but not all will necessarily carry it (in some cases due to content restrictions in those countries).
As for the countries not listed here… next week in Cannes, the MIPTV trade show will be attended by broadcasters and program directors from around the globe. HBO will have a presence, screening its shows and selling foreign broadcast rights. Game of Thrones will be on the table as well, and Martin says that in a few weeks HBO should know which countries will be opting to air the series.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

Diet Soda Can Be as Harmful to Your Teeth as MethCarolyn Castiglia
The news came out this week that "constant exposure to the citric and phosphoric acid in soda … can be just as damaging to teeth as methamphetamine or crack cocaine." But there's a caveat to that finding, though, and that is that diet soda can eat away at your teeth the way hard drugs might if you're not partaking in proper dental care.
Dr. Mohamed Bassiouny the Temple University School of Dentistry in Philadelphia says, if you look at Diet Coke mouth "side-to-side with 'meth mouth' … it is startling to see the intensity and extent of damage more or less the same." This reaction is based on research done by scholars at the journal General Dentistry, who studied "a woman in her 30s who drank 2 liters of diet soda every day for three to five years." Though "the levels of tooth rot and decay were very similar" between the soda drinker and drug users, "The woman also admitted she had not seen a dentist in many years," Fox News notes.
Needless to say, representatives of the beverage industry are a bit incensed over this study. The American Beverage Association said in a statement, "The woman referenced in this article did not receive dental health services for more than 20 years — two-thirds of her life. To single out diet soda consumption as the unique factor in her tooth decay and erosion — and to compare it to that from illicit drug use — is irresponsible."
The moral of the story here is, a little diet soda – while it will work to corrode your teeth like anything that's highly acidic – is not going to give you "meth mouth" as long as you're properly brushing and getting your teeth cleaned. Furthermore, though, drinking two liters of diet soda every day for five years is also a bad idea no matter how much you're brushing. Reminds me of the lady who ate nothing but pizza for 31 years. Poor thing! Well, I'm off to go drink some coffee and have leftover cold noodles for lunch! See you at the dentist!

No. 18/18 #Seawolves bounce back, rip Rutgers, 14-4
|Piscataway, N.J. - The No. 18/18 Stony Brook women's lacrosse team displayed a balanced attack and saw its lockdown defense return to form in a 14-4 triumph over Rutgers Saturday afternoon at High Point Solutions Stadium. Freshman midfielder Kristin Yevoli did a little bit of everything, posting game highs of six ground balls and three caused turnovers to go along with two goals and two draw controls.
Senior goalie Frankie Caridi tied her personal best with 11 saves, and freshman midfielder Dorrien Van Dyke netted a hat trick for Stony Brook (4-2).

Converters and inverters are electrical devices that convert current. Converters convert the voltage of an electric device, usually alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). On the other hand, inverters convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). See also AC vs DC.
Comparison chart
The basic difference between various types of converters or inverters is that they vary in their nature and the devices they support.
- Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a device that converts the input analog voltage to a digital number proportional to the magnitude of the voltage or current. Some non-electronic or partially electronic devices, like rotary encoders, can be considered as ADCs.
- Digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is a device that converts a digital code to an analog signal. DAC are found in CD players, digital music players and PC sound cards.
- Digital-to-digital converter (DDC) is a device which converts one type of digital data to another type of digital data.
There are three types of inverters:
- Square wave inverter: This is a type of inverter which produces a square wave output. It consists of a DC source, four switches and the load. The switches can withstand heavy current flow. It is the least expensive inverter but it produces low quality power.
- Quasi wave or Modified square wave inverters: As the name suggest, the wave form is square, and not sinus as required to have pure sine wave AC. Modified square wave has a step or dead space between the square waves. This reduces the distortion or harmonics that causes problems with electrical devices. It works for all pure loads like lamps or heaters. It costs less and is more effective than square wave.
- True/Pure Sine wave inverters: These are the most expensive form of inverters. Most of the AC products run on modified sine wave inverters since they are comparatively less expensive.
Converters are used to convert AC power to DC power. Virtually all the electronic devices require converters. They are also used to detect amplitude modulated radio signals. They are also used to supply polarized voltage for welding. Converters can be used for DC-DC conversion. Here, inverter converts DC to AC, then a transformer is used to convert it back into DC.
Inverters are used to convert DC electricity from sources like solar panels, batteries or fuel cells to AC electricity. Micro-inverters are used to convert DC power from solar panels to AC for the electric grid. UPS or Uninterrupted power service uses inverter to supply AC power when main power is not available. It is also used for induction heating.
Disadvantages of Converters:
- Poor current overload capacity.
- The good quality Automatic regulators are more expensive than Mechanical regulators.
Disadvantages of Inverters:
- Not ideal for inductive AC and motor loads.
- Sensitive electronic devices can be damaged by poor waveforms by low batteries.
- It should have a good source of power for re-charging.

These kayak storage racks were designed by Thom Alderman, a paddler with a lot of boats and no where to store them (sound familiar?). SUSPENZ™ was established in 2002 because there were no good solutions for storing boats available.... The design was then taken to industry leaders (Wilderness Systems, Dagger, Perception, Legacy Paddlesports, Current Design...) and with their input the design was optimized to be the most stable, solid, safe, innovative and easy-to-use design for storing kayaks available today!

Is there anybody out there? UFO conference draws believers
The event attracted people like people like Jessica Fitts of Barrington, N.H., who said she wanted to learn more about UFOs and UFO investigations. Ms. Fitts, a graphic artist who works in video production and special effects makeup, said what got her interested were two incidents she witnessed that she cannot explain.

What kernels are they running? One possibility is that there is a
memory leak somewhere that has been addressed in a later kernel
version. I'd up2date the machines to make sure they are current. Does
it happen if the machines aren't using NFS? I ask because it may not be
a nfs issue.
Good luck,
