Come and see how progress is going, have a go at using our traditional press, and watch our team make huge quantities of juice throughout the day from apples from our orchards and scrumped from Brighton & Hove. Enjoy a cup of the freshest pressed juice to quench your thirst!
Apple Identification
If you wanted to know what the old apple tree in your garden is, then we'll be offering apple identification again at Apple Day 2016.
From each tree, bring three or more ripe fruits and a shoot with representative leaves; all must be strong and healthy. The fruit should be in good condition as damaged, misshapen or poor specimens are very difficult to name. If possible, the fruit should be mature and show the characteristic size, shape and colour.

Slave Traders In Yale's Past Fuel Debate On Restitution
By KATE ZERNIKE
Published: August 13, 2001
As it marks its 300th anniversary, Yale University is celebrating what it calls its ''long history of activism in the face of slavery'' -- the abolitionist faculty members who befriended the slaves on the ship Amistad in 1839, and today, the world's first center for the study of slavery.
But in a research paper published today, three Yale scholars say the university is ignoring a less honorable side of its history.
They say Yale relied on slave-trading money for its first scholarships, endowed professorship and library endowment. It honored slave traders when choosing figures to chisel as ''Worthies'' on the tower at the center of its campus, and only 40 years ago chose the names of slave traders when it was naming some colleges. According to documents these scholars have unearthed, in 1831 Yale officials led the opposition that ultimately stopped construction in New Haven of what would have been the nation's first black college, saying that such an institution in the same city would be ''incompatible with the prosperity, if not the existence,'' of Yale.
The scholars, all doctoral candidates at Yale, say they hope their work will force Yale to the center of a growing national debate over slavery and whether and how to make amends for it.
The article, ''Yale, Slavery and Abolition,'' is being published by the Amistad Committee, which was founded 162 years ago to lead the effort to free the African slaves who landed on a ship in New Haven harbor after rebelling against their captors. It calls for Yale to acknowledge how it has benefited from the profits of slave trade, and to consider reparations to those whose ancestors suffered under slavery.
''Universities are first and foremost supposed to stand up for the truth,'' said Antony Dugdale, a doctoral student in philosophy and one of the three authors, ''and yet there's been a real absence of any real discussion or real scholarship on the history of universities themselves, or their role, with regard to slavery.''
Many Americans assume slavery was purely a Southern phenomenon, but some Northerners profited from the slave trade. Universities reaped the benefits: Nicholas and John Brown, two of the founders of what became Brown University, were slave traders; Harvard Law School was endowed by money its founder earned selling slaves in Antigua's cane fields.
In a statement in response to the report, Yale officials defended the university by noting that ''few, if any, institutions or individuals from the period before Emancipation remained untainted by slavery.''
But the report's authors, and the Amistad Committee, say that Yale compounded unfortunate history by choosing, between the 1930's and 1970's, to name its most prominent buildings after slave traders or defenders of slavery, even as the country was in the midst of an active effort to break with past racism.
The report does not deny the accomplishments for which Yale presumably chose its honorees -- prominent politicians, philosophers and inventors. It objects, however, that Yale, even now, makes no mention of these men's more questionable positions and activities in support of slavery, which might have made them more controversial choices when the campus's most prominent locations were named.
Abolitionists with similarly stellar accomplishments, and Yale degrees, while noted in the university's 300th anniversary literature, receive little recognition on campus. A city high school named for James Hillhouse, a prominent abolitionist, Yale graduate, senator and congressman, was bought by Yale and torn down to make room for two new colleges in the 1960's, one of which was named for Samuel F. B. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph, who defended slavery as a ''positive good'' and advocated the excommunication of those who supported abolition.
''Yale is far from being the only or the worst in this regard,'' said Gerald Horne, a professor of African and Afro-American studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, ''but on the other hand, Yale purports to be, and is, a leading force in higher education in the United States, and it's important for Yale to set an example.''
In its response, the university noted its progressive policies toward blacks and the study of slavery. Yale says it granted the nation's first doctoral degree to a black student in 1876. Today, the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance and Abolition, founded in 1998 and named for the New York financiers and Yale graduates Richard Gilder and Lewis Lehrman, is the only one of its kind anywhere. Yale also says it was the first university in the country to offer a master's degree in African-American studies.
On the issue of slavery, Yale's director of public affairs, Helaine S. Klasky, said in a statement, ''Today, we regret and renounce these evils and seek, through scholarship and communication, to better understand them, but we cannot undo them.''
But those who support reparations dismiss this defense as intellectual dishonesty. ''As an academic institution with some moral grounding, it's hard to use the argument that 'everyone did it,' '' said Charles J. Ogletree, a professor at Harvard Law School and the co-coordinator of the Reparations Coordinating Committee, which is preparing to file a lawsuit in early 2002 on behalf of the descendants of slaves against those who earned ''unjust enrichment'' from slavery. ''It seems to me that someone has to have the courage to say it was flatly wrong and we're going to be prepared to take some courageous steps to affirmatively address the practices and policies that have resulted from this.''

I never agreed to pay this amount, I agreed to the trial period.
On Feb 4, 2009, I sent an email to their "Contact US email address... It came back as a bad email address.
I finally found the correct email address on 2/9/09 and sent an email requesting they cancel my order and send me an RA number so I can send their garbage back. I was VERY CLEAR in my email that I wanted someone to reply to me that my request was received. by 2/11/09, NO RESPONSE.
On 2/11/09, I forwarded my original email, with the request again, to verify that my request was received. NO RESPONSE.
On 2/12/09, I forwarded my original email, with the request again, to verify that my request was received. NO RESPONSE.
On 2/13/09, I called the number, after sitting on hold for 43 minutes, I get a human being named Donna, who doesn't have a clue what is going on, other than they have already billed my credit card.
I asked to talk to a Supervisor, she transfers me to some other department, where I wait an additional 30 minutes on hold. I finally reached some woman named Stephanie who tells me the same thing the first idiot tells me. "Until we get our product back, we wont give you your money back". I said, do you people ever read your emails? She said, "I think so". Good lord, but this time I am livid.
Long story short, I get transferred to a Supervisor who is the rudest man I have ever talked to. This jerks name is Robert. He tells me that there is nothing he can do for me until they get their product back. Yes they got my email, no they do not respond in writing, I have to call them. It's my fault that I got charged because I should have called sooner.
PEOPLE: Don't waste your money or your time on this product, it doesn't work and they are all a bunch of idiots who works there.......

Ten year old Edward Elric let his tongue slip out one side of his mouth as he concentrated on drawing the runes in the transmuation circle. They had to be absolutely perfect. If just one was off by the slightest degree, the result would be a disastrous rebound.
Edward did not want that to happen.
For his sake.
For his little brother's sake.
He drew the last rune.
Inside the next half hour their mother would be alive again, healthy and happy and basking in the love of her two boys who risked their souls to bring her back to life. Thunder rumbled again, this time much closer.
"Ready, Al?" Edward pulled a small knife from a back pocket of his shorts and flipped the blade open. He studied the gleaming metal for a moment before he drew the sharp metal across a finger tip and hissed between his teeth at the pain. The skin leapt aside and bright pearls of blood welled up in the narrow cut and dripped onto the pile in the gigantic metal pan.
"Our blood for her blood, it's a fair trade, right?" He extended the knife towards his little brother, but Alphonse didn't stick his finger out.
"Um, brother? Are you sure we should do this?" Alphonse's round face was tight with concern and there was a small unhappy note to his words.
Edward narrowed his gold eyes and glared so hard Alphonse actually took a step back from him.
"Al, all the calculations are perfect, We have all the ingredients for one adult human body, down to Mom's fingernails and eyelashes, including some of our blood. Nothing could go wrong. What could go wrong?"
Alphonse started at a faint sound he thought he heard coming from outside the closed door of their father's study. It sounded like the outside door had just opened. Maybe the rising wind outside had pushed it open, but maybe someone was coming. He hoped it was Granny Pinako, she would stop this. He wished with all his heart it was her. Thunder boomed almost directly over their heads and he jumped a few inches into the air.
"AL!" Edward covered the few feet between them in three strides and held out the knife, but Alphonse didn't move. He reached and grabbed his little brother's left hand and slashed at it with the blade, perhaps with more force than he intended. Alphonse gasped out a sharp cry of pain, but Edward ignored his outburst.
"Don't wimp out on me now!"
He held Alphonse's hand over the pan and squeezed the finger slightly until several drips joined his blood on the pile. Alphonse whimpered and yanked his hand back the second Edward released his grip. He turned away, mumbling something under his breath and Edward's scowl deepened.
"Where are you going?"
"To find something to wrap my finger." Alphonse rummaged throuigh the drawers of his father's desk until he found an old handkerchief, softened by many launderings. He wrapped it three times around the finger before clumsily tying a double knot with the other hand.
"AL! Get over here!"
Alphonse froze in the middle of tying the second knot because he could have sworn he heard footsteps. If only Brother would shut up for two miinutes...
Edward growled deep in his throat, a sign his patience was wearing down to a bare nub. Alphonse finished tying the knot and turned around to return glare for glare. "Brother, you're mean..."
"Stop being such a baby, Alphonse." Edward's tone and use of his brother's full name signalled his was becoming really angry and would resort to punching Al's arm very soon. "Mom will bandage your finger up nice later." He paused briefly in his tirade before he smiled at Alphonse, sighed, and let his body relax. "The sooner we start, the sooner we'll see her smile again, and I can't wait."
"Yeah," Alphonse pushed back his annoyance and smiled back in anticipation. "You're right, Brother. I can't wait either."
"Aren't I always right, Al?" Edward chuckled and poked Alphonse's ribs with his elbow after he walked back to the array.
The two knelt down at the outer chalk line. "Let's do this Al."
"Right, brother."
The were on the verge of rocking forward and slapping their palms down when the door knob rattled. The brothers froze, and Alphonse held his breath. Was this deliverance?
Edward sat back on his haunches, irritation and bewilderment fighting for control on his mobile young face. "What the hell?"
The lock of the study door suddenly gave way and the door swung open, banging hard against the wall just as a bolt of lighting arced through the night sky. It up the room as bright as day for a brief moment. Alphonse could barely remember the man who stood there and frowned down at them, eyeglasses glinting in the dim lamplight. Thunder boomed and the heavens gave their all.
His mother had shown him pictures and he recognized his and Brother's father. He gulped audibly which caused Edward to throw a sharp look at him.
They were in BIG trouble now.
Winry Rockball cautiouslyi eased her bedcovers back and smiled to see the morning sunlight flooding into her bedroom.. She slid out of bed, walked to the window, raised the blinds and pushed up the sash. Fresh air, bird song and the scent of the world washed clean poured in.
She poked her head out of the window and sniffed the air. Onlhy a few high, puffy white clouds rode in beautiful blue sky as if nature herself was apologizing for the tantrum she'd thrown last night. Last nights storn that brought thunder so loud Winry hid under the sheets and sobbed with fear seemed a million years ago. It was going to be a gorgeous day.
Although it was late in Septemberr, the weather was mild and and there would be no school because today was Fuhrer Bradley's birthday. Endless hours of play with the Elrilc brothers stretched out before her, full of possibilities for innocent childhood fun. Winry was so lost in throught, she didn't hear her bedroom door open and claws come clicking across the wooden floor towards her until something cold and wet touched her bare leg and made her gasp.
"Den!" The young mutt's mouth opened into a big doggy smile after Winry turned around to smile at her, then bent down to hug the furry neck. Den's tongue licked at the dried tear tracks on the girl's face and her tail wagged hard enough to ruffle the bottom of Winry's sleep shirt. The enticing aroma of bacon and eggs drifted in through the open bedroom door and Winry endured a few more tongue laps before she affectionately ruffled Den's ears.
"Ready for breakfast, girl?" Den replied with a short soft bark of approval.
Granny had also put an apple pie into the oven. The aroma of apples and cinnamon filled the kitchen while Winry ate bacon, eggs and home baked bread spead with strawberry jam while slipping the occasional tidbit to Den under the table. After she finished, she helped Granny wash the breakfast dishes and then went upstairs to splash water on her face, brush her hair and dress in a blue-and-white striped short-sleeved shirt and matching shorts of solid blue. She slid her feet into red leather sandals and clattered downstairs back to the kitchen in time to see Granny take the pie out of the oven.
Once it cooled, Pinako cut three generous slices of the pie, wrapped them in cloth napkins and placed them into a small wicker basket along with a jug of homemade peach juice and three cups. She closed the baskets lid. "There you are, Winry dear. Don't let Edward hog the pie." Pinako handed the basket to her with a big smile around the ever present pipe clenched between her teeth.
"I won't, Granny. Ed acts like a jerk sometimes, but I can handle him." WInry took the basket and skpped out the door with Den righit at her heels. "Bye, Granny!"
Pinako waved back, wincing only slightly when the screen door slammed. Winry was singing a song she'd heard on the radio and Pinako listened to it slowly fade away as her granddaughter moved out of earshot. She headed for her favorite chair to relax and read the morning paper before that days automail paitients came for their appointments.
Winry skipped along the road towards the village of Risembool until she reached the bottom of
hill, the steepest rise in the countryside. They could see for miles and miles from its crest. On a clear day even New Optain was faintly visible in the distance. It shimmered like a mirage, like a dream of adventure.
The Rain River curled around the opposite side of the hill and just behond that was the lone set of train tracks which stretched straight off into the horizon to the provincial capitol of East City. Edward used to brag that one day he'd ride that train all the way to Central and never come back to
'boring old Risembool'
What good times they'd had upon that hill.
Winry's face was bright with anticipation as she trudged up the steep slope to the top. The sun was rising higher and the air was getting hotter so she was sweating by the time she got to the shade of the lone oak tree which stood like a sentinel high above just harvested fields. WInry expected the brothers to be already there and probably squabbling due to boredom. They would be so happy to see what she'd brought for a pre-lunch snack.
But the soft grass underneath the tree was bare when she finally got there.
No matter. Edward probably wanted to see how high the rain-swollen river had gotten. Maybe he, Al and some of the other boys were making paper boats to sail in the increased current or even starting a mudball fight. Boys...
Winry leaned against the solid comforting bulk of the trees trunk and slid down, then settled in to wait for them, like she often did. Den, her tongue lolling out of her mouth flopped down next to Winry and promptly went to sleep.
One hour.
Two hours.
Two and a half hours.
Winry ate her slice of pie slowly while feeling growiong annoyance with the brothers. Where were they? She wiped an errant drip of peach juice off her chin with the back of her hand, re-packed the jug, glass and now empty napkin back into the basket and stood up. Den was instantly awake and she stood up too, tail waving and brown eyes expectant. After she wiped stray blades of grass of the seat of her shorts, Winry walked back town the hill, then turned back up the road, towards the Elric house.
Two little boys were in BIG trouble.
Under a full head of self-righteous steam, Winry walked up the lane which led to the front door of Ed and Al's house, feeling more angry with each step. She'd half considered going home to see if the brothers were there and pestering Granny, but she was sure her grandmother would have steered them towards the hill.
How DARE they make me wait? They are SO in for it!
Winry wished she'd brought her new wrench with her to hit them with, that would teach them, but then a little voice niggled at the back of her head. What if they're sick? The thought made Winry stop dead in her tracks and a feeling of sick dread turned that piece of pie into a heavy weight in her stomach.
What if... they tried to use alchemy to bring their mom back?
Both Ed and Al were alchemy freaks and they'd been really cagey about their activities in the past few weeks, as if they were planning something. Winry broke into a dead run, the dropped the basket somewhere along the way and she heard the jug of peach juice shatter, but she didn't care. Fear leant wings to her feet, even Den felt it and abandoned the intriguing basket to race after then alongisde her mistress. Both of them covered the final few yards to the Elric house in a blur.
The house was silent, the windows black and empty like staring eyes. Winry tugged on the front door,but it was stubbornly locked and she banged on it with the flat of her hand, "Ed! Al! Are you two in there?!" Fresh tears ran easily down her flushed cheeks.
Winry clattered back down the front steps and raced around with Den to the back of the house. A key was hidden behind a loose stone block on the back porch. If something was really wrong, she could use the phone in the kitchen to call for help. She rounded the last corner and juddered to a halt. Den raced past her, then stopped and looked back, confusion on her face.
Sheets were hanging haphazrdly on the clothes line and she could hear faint mutterings that sounded like Ed and Al's voices. Oh, thank the gods they're all right! A strong, sudden gust of wind blew one of the sheets almost vertical and then Winry saw two pairs of feet-one in red shoes, th e other in blue leather sandals-standing on two wooden boxes.
"Ed! Al!" Winry sobbed with relief as she ran forward around the clothesline and what she saw nearly made her burst out laughing.
Edward and Alphonse both wore long smock aprons which reached down almost to their toes. Edward wore green gingham check with darker green ruffles and bunnies appliqued on the skirt. Alphonse was in dusky pink with black rulffles and kitten faces embroidered on the bib. Colorful handkerchiefs were knotted around their heads while they hung bedsheets on the line. Or tried to anyways.
Both were making rather a hash of the job and a loud giggle forced its way past Winry's lips and Den gave a doggy smile as if even she was amused. Edward scowled back at her, but Alphonse, his mouth full of clothespins gave her a smile and wiggle of his eyebrows.
"You two make such pretty maids!" Winry tittered, her hands were over her mouth but they couldn't hold the laughter back.
"Shut up, Winry!" Edward snapped just before the wind gusted in his direction and enfolded a wet sheet about his head, "Glub! Ack!"
He flailed around in an attempt to get it off, but he only managed to unbalance the box which tipped over and dropped him right on his backside. "OW! Dammit!" His reddened face screwed up in pain, Edward sat on the ground and rubbed one butt cheek.
Winry's face paled. She stopped laughing and ran over to help Edward up. With a disgusted look, he shook her hands off and then pushed her back. "Leave me alone!"
Alplhonse spit the pins out of his mouth and admonished, "She's only trying to help, Brother! Don't be so rude!" He hopped off his own box and helped Winry back to her feet. Edward stalked off to the large oak tree that stood at the edge of the back yard. Allphonse brushed blades of grass off Winry's shorts. "Are you all right, Winry?"
"I'm fine, Al. But - what is going on?" Winry turned the box Edward had been using back upright and sat down. "You two never showed up on the hill and Granny baked a nice apple pie for us. I brought a piece for each of us and some peach juice and - oh!"
Alphonse had sat down on his box...or he tried to. The minute his shorts clad bottom touched the wood, he jumped back up while uttering a sharp squeak of pain.
"Al, I'm sorry, but I dropped the basket while I was running. I got worried about you two and what is wrong with you?"
"My bottom hurts," he shrugged, trying to be nonchalant. "It's nothing."
"Did you fall down the stairs, or something?"
"No... um," Alphonse hesitated and bit his lip before he looked over at Edward. But his brother was too busy sulking as he leaned against the tree. His back was to them and his posture was stiff with anger.
But Alphonse still pitched his voice lower. "Brother and I were going to bring Mom back to life last night, but someone came."
"AL! You didn't!" Winry was horrified, but also curious. "Who came?"
"Dad. He came home, after all these years. He was really mad and told us to stop right away. But Brother jumped up and smarted off to him. Dad's face got really dark and I thought he was going to kill Brother for what he said."
"Wha-what happened?" And why can't you sit down without pain?"
"Well, Winry. It's like this, both of us got a spanking, so um-our butts really hurt, so much we can't sit down. We had to eat our breakfast standing up and dad is a really lousy cook to boot!"
Winry was incredulous. Edward was ten and Alphonse was nine, both were too old to be spanked. Edward certainly wouldn't stand for treatment like that. "Your DAD spanked you?!"
"No, not Dad. He clapped his hands and those two old suits of armor in his study started moving. They grabbed us, put us over their knees and spanked each of us ten times. Then Dad sent us to bed. Without any supper!" Alphonse's lower lip stuck out as if not the spanking, but no supper was the true injustice.
The back door creaked open just at that moment and all three children started and looked over. Standing on the threshold was one of those old suits of armor, the really scary one with all the spikes on the shoulders. But it also wore a frilly purple smockapron and carried a basket of wet laundry. Its eyes gleamed red and a hollow voice boomed from the helmet. Winry shuddered despite the heat of the day as a crop of goosebumps raced up her arms.
"Edward! Alphonse! Those sheets won't hang themselves, so get back to work! The next load is finished and you have to hang all of it before you get lunch!"
"We gotta go, Winry. Part of our punishment is to do all the chores Mom used to do for us."
"O.K. Bye Al, bye Ed." She called to the older brother who was grumpily returning to the clothesline. Winry began to turn away, but acting on a sudden impulse, she spun around and hugged Alphonse. Then she hugged Edward who was surpsied enough to stop scowling for a moment. "Ill see you later, k?"
"Sorry, Winry, we can't." Edward mumbled softly, his head hanging.
Winry trudged back to the Rockbell house, basket in hand, later that afternoon as the sun began to drop behind the peaks of the Hollow Hills. Pinako was sitting on the porch and smoking her pipe, feet up on a hassock after that day'a automail surgeries and check-ups were completed. All the paitents were resting comfortably and Pinako considered it was time Winry began learning about the messier aspects of automail grafting. Just then she saw her granddaughter return, looking sad and beaten down.
"H'm?" she leaned forward and watched Winry walk slowly up the path to the house. Den walked next to her, the dog's head was down, but she suddenly looked right at Pinako and whined, as if she was passing on a private worry to the old woman. The dog looked confused . Pinako was concerned, had Edward been mean to her again? When Winry reached the porch, she climbed up just two steps before she sat down, setting the basket beside her. She turned a frown in her grandmother's direction.
"I'm sorry, Granny, but I dropped the basket and broke the jug while I was running." She had looked downward while she said it and Pinako saw a few tears spatter onto the wooden step.
Pinako tut-tutted. "That's all right dear, I have lots of jugs like that. But whey didn't you ask the Elrics to fix it for you with alchemyi?"
"They can't, Granny! They've been forbidden to use alchemy, it's part of their punishment!"
Forbidden? Punsihment?
"Winry, dear, who forbade them to use alchemy?"
"Their dad! He came home last night and caught them doing some alchemy they weren't supposed to!"
"Hmmm..." the old woman scratched her chin and considered, but she couldn't keep the grin from snaking across her face. Her old drinking buddy was back in town, and about time too. "Winry, let's go inside and you tell me the whole story while we fix supper."
Winry did so while she peeled potatoes and chopped carrots to help her grandmother. Pianko was amused by Hohenheim's idea of discipline, although she thought the frilly aprons were punishment enough for two red-blooded Amestrian boys. They sat down to eat their evening meal, double-sauced meat loaf with sides of steamed carrots and mashed potatoes. But just before Winry dug her fork in, she paused and blurted out in a near wail, "And it gets worse Granny!"
"How so!"
They've been grounded for the rest of the year!"

And then some. Not only will the Enron founder not end his days in prison, but according to legal precedent, his entire case will be erased from the records.
That means that, in legal terms at least, Lay was never convicted, tried or even indicted for Enron misdeeds.
For Lay's estate, and his widow Linda, the positive implication of this grim day is that the government now has no means to collect on its forfeiture claim against Lay for $43.5 million."
"Mr. Lay's death effectively voids the guilty verdict against him, temporarily thwarting the federal government's efforts to seize his remaining real estate and financial assets, legal experts say. "The death of Mr. Lay in all likelihood will render the government's hard-fought victory null," said Christopher Bebel, a former federal prosecutor based here who specializes in securities fraud...
Any life insurance policies bought by Mr. Lay may also be shielded from federal seizure efforts since state laws normally cover such payments. While jurors found Mr. Lay guilty, his death may also complicate any efforts to go after life insurance proceeds, even if the original policies were acquired with ill-gotten gains."
disgustingly convenient.

Hello. Here's my site:
What I would like to do is have the RSS link that is at the bottom, display below the green and in the white. Whenever I try things like increase the padding, add some line breaks or what have you, it just increases the height of the green shape.
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Some of rap history's biggest sellers, from Nicki Minaj and Rick Ross to Nelly, Pitbull, and Flo Rida have all had their rap (and street) credibility questioned at one point in their careers. None listed, however, were rebuked with the intensity of criticism like that aimed at Iggy Azalea.
From barely a buzz to a bulls-eye, she went from obscurity to enemy #1 in just a year.
Besides the unique position of being a white female emcee from Australia who rapped with a southern U.S. accent, not much else surrounded the newcomer's name initially. In fact, this time last year she seemed poised to take rank with the many other unsung female rappers trying to find a place in the male-dominated game.
Despite backing from one of the genre's frontrunners (T.I.) and a number of well-prepared videos to boot, success would not knock on the rapstress's door until the unveiling of the pop-cloaked number 'Fancy' and its 'Clueless'-themed music video. In conjunction with a timely "assistant role" on rising pop starlet Ariana Grande's hit 'Problem,' Iggy, seemingly out of nowhere, was thrust to the top of mainstream music consciousness.
Undoubtedly a dream come true for any female rapper, especially a Caucasian one traipsing a path so many before her had failed (see: Sarai, Kreayshawn), that dream would prove itself a nightmare as all but the very genre she pursued would openly embrace her.
Has "winning" caused Iggy to lose hip hop's respect?

New leaders will be chosen next month, and the factions are going all out for their candidates.
Paul Mashatile said the ANC will not be threatened by "parties born yesterday" while Pule Mabe accused Julius Malema of running a backyard revolution.
Advocate Dali Mpofu told EFF supporters the ANC had said the Makhulong stadium was for soccer, then gave the go-ahead for the ANCYL festival.
The ANCYL and EFF have organised competing political events in Tembisa, sparking fears of more violent clashes that have dogged the two parties.
The troubled ANC Youth League will return to court on March 24 2013 to fight being made permanently insolvent.
The SA Human Rights Commission and rights activists have called for the eradication of pit latrines at schools after a child died in one this week.
Julius Malema's EFF has come out in defence of the public protector and called for President Jacob Zuma to resign over the Nkandlagate scandal.
The ANCYL and uMkhonto weSizwe Military Veterans Association say Robert McBride has distinguished himself as a man who upholds law and order.

Project REACH
Project REACH welcomes you!
Project REACH: Realizing Educational And Career Hopes
Project REACH identifies and serves disadvantaged young people who have the potential for education at the post-secondary level and encourages them to continue and graduate from secondary school and enroll in programs of post-secondary education. High school and post-secondary dropouts are also encouraged and assisted in returning to school.
Project REACH was first funded by the U.S. Department of Education in September 1985 and at that time became the first Educational Talent Search Program to serve low-income, urban youth with disabilities in the nation. In 1990, REACH moved from the UMass Boston downtown campus to its current location in McCormack Hall, first floor, rooms 413-414. Although Project REACH currently serves students in General Education as well as students in Special Education, the program remains a national model for the successful inclusion of youth with disabilities in TRIO programs.
Program Goals
- Assist participants in persisting in and completing secondary education.
- Support participants in the completion of a rigorous high school program of study.
- Encourage persons who have not completed programs of study at the secondary level to re-enter them.
- Inform persons with disabilities of the existing community resources.
- Support program participants in the enrollment in and completion of programs of post-secondary education.

Relativistic speed
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article does not cite any sources. (August 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A relativistic speed is a speed which is a significant proportion of the speed of light. Therefore, scientific analysis must take the consequences of special relativity into account. A relativistic particle is a subatomic particle moving at relativistic speed.
The boundary for when a particle becomes relativistic is impossible to define, but a particle can generally be said to be relativistic when Newtonian mechanics no longer provide an accurate description which, within a margin of error of 1%, is 10% of the speed of light for the speeds of the associated masses under consideration.

Home Builder Tries to Lure Buyers with Honda Civics
Home builders have long offered incentives and discounts for home buyers. They've also thrown in material perks like a Mercedes, a trip to Maui or even another house. Now a home builder wants to help ease the burden of a long commute and soaring gas prices by giving buyers a free 2008 Honda Civic, according to an article in today's WSJ.
William Grant, the owner of Brodheadsville, Pa.-based Grant Homes Inc., is using the Hondas to lure prospective buyers to a new 75-home development in rural Pennsylvania. Allentown, the largest center of employment near the development, is about 25 miles away.
The Hondas are worth about $20,000, and that value is not included in the price of the house. Buyers can choose to accept the free car or have the company pay the closing cost and buy down their interest.
Of four home sales last weekend, two buyers chose to take the car, Mr. Grant says. "The buying public is certainly waiting to do something," he says. "If you entice them with something of value they are ready to move forward."
Readers, would the lure of a Honda Civic entice you?-Sushil Cheema

It might be too soon. I didn't start until my son was 2. It took almost a year before he was fully potty trained. I thought he was NEVER going to get it, lol. He did and all is wonderful now. You just have to be very patient. It will happen. Good luck!

Is your LO showing signs of being ready to PT? Is he showing interest in the potty, is he staying dry for at least 2 hours, can he say potty/poop, does he tell you that he needs to or has done potty/poop, does he feel uncomfortable when he pottys/poops so he wants his diaper off? These are all good indications that your LO is ready to PT. DD is almost 22 months and doesn't show these signs. I wouldn't push it or it will take even longer to PT. GL.

Maroc Telecom looks to cut costs
MOROCCO| July 13, 2012, 8:06 a.m.
Maroc Telecom, part of troubled Vivendi Group, is looking to cut costs and improve margins through a voluntary redundancy programme.
The telco is reported to be seeking to cut around 11% of its workforce – or up to 2000 jobs – in line with its parent company's attempts to streamline operations and boost flagging profits.
Recently, the Chairman and Chief Executive of Vivendi, Jean-Bernard Lévy, stepped down after a disagreement with the company's board.
Another telecoms subsidiary, France's SFR, said it planned to cut costs by USD552 million this year and another USD500 million next year.

Liberal Opinion Week
The National Review's Kevin Williamson has written something about the U.S.'s small-town, working-class whites. It's not very nice, and outrage is being expended over his claim that these people are struggling largely because "they failed themselves." A sample from near the end of Williamson's screed:
"The white American underclass is in thrall to a vicious, selfish culture whose main products are misery and used heroin needles. Donald Trump's speeches make them feel good. So does OxyContin. What they need isn't analgesics, literal or political. They need real opportunity, which means that they need real change, which means that they need U-Haul."
Other people may read that and get mad about the "vicious, selfish" part, not to mention the blame-the-poor attitude of the whole piece. They're right to! I, however, cannot help but zero in on the last sentence -- and nod in agreement. People in communities that have hit an economic dead end really do need U-Haul. They surely need more than that, but moving away from poverty and misery is not in itself a bad idea.

Hillary Clinton's Tuesday sweep of five Democratic primaries puts her more securely in the lead for her party's presidential nomination. Yet despite Donald Trump's victory in four of the five Republican state contests, his path to the nomination still encourages resistance within his party.
Clinton rebounded from her defeat in Michigan last week by beating Sen. Bernie Sanders in three other Rust Belt states -- Ohio, Illinois and Missouri, where he had hoped to keep his comeback going -- as well as in Florida and North Carolina.
The former secretary of state widened her lead to a cumulate margin of 1,606 delegates to 851 for the Vermonter, with 2,383 required for nomination.
The political calendar now looks Northeast and West, where Sanders' populist pitch could prove more resonant than in the South swept so far by Clinton. But the gap between them nevertheless would require a remarkable change in the arc of the voting so far to deny her victory in Philadelphia in July.
Donald Trump is very likely going to be the Republican nominee for president of the United States.
Take three deep breaths.
I know we've been on this path for a long time, but it's still hard getting your head around the idea, isn't it? Just to ease the transition, our first-ever exclusively Donald Trump quiz:
1. After his big string of victories this week, Trump appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," where he was asked who his foreign policy advisers were. He said …
A. "I'm speaking with a lot of generals. Very impressive people. All winners."
B. "I'm speaking with myself."
C. "I have a long list. It's a good list. Vladimir Putin said it was the best list he'd ever seen."
How curious that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died, of all places, in an exclusive West Texas hunting lodge.
Yet more curious, all expenses for hizzonor's February stay were paid by the resort's owner, John Poindexter. He's a Houston manufacturing mogul who won a favorable ruling from the Supreme Court in an age-discrimination case last year.
In another curiosity, the names of some 35 other people who were in Scalia's hunting party are being kept secret. Moreover, the late judge — an ardent promoter of corporate supremacy over people's rights — was flown to the remote getaway for free aboard someone's or some corporation's private jet. The name of this generous benefactor has also been withheld.
Curious, huh?
This isn't a murder mystery — by all accounts, Scalia died of natural causes. It's a moral mystery: Who was buying (or repaying) favors from an enormously powerful member of America's highest court?
The 2016 demise of Marco Rubio has been obvious for a while, but it is nevertheless a very big event. He was the Republican Party's choice. He lost.
Starting last fall, I said he would be the most likely winner. I continued saying that through the early primaries and caucuses. In fact, he seemed on track to win up until his disappointing Super Tuesday on March 1, and even in the days after that I thought he was in fairly good shape -- that is, right up until his support collapsed the weekend after Super Tuesday.
Since I have been dead wrong about Rubio, I can't turn around immediately and tell you why he lost. It's something all of us who study presidential nominations are going to need to study, and it's going to take some time, especially for those who believe that strong parties made up of formal organizations and informal networks control their presidential nominations.
Is this year a fluke? A sign that the system has changed? Frankly, I don't know right now.
But I can run through some reasonable explanations of what happened with Rubio.
In deciding what to do about President Barack Obama's nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, Senate Republicans should think about only two things.
These are charts from Iowa Electronic Markets, one showing that bettors believe the Republicans are very likely to lose control of the Senate, and one showing that those same bettors believe that the Democrats' chances of taking the White House are pushing 70 percent.
Prediction markets can be wrong. A little over a month ago, they had Marco Rubio as the overwhelming favorite to become the G.O.P. nominee. But this doesn't seem like the moment to bet that the markets are mistaken. If Senate Republicans make good on their threat to refuse to approve any nominee, the chances are that the vacancy will be filled by President Hillary Clinton and confirmed by a Democratic Senate, right after the caucus votes to abolish the filibuster.
Not that anyone should be surprised that the judicial wars went nuclear even before President Obama chose a Supreme Court nominee, but two recent developments drive home the dismal state of affairs.
First, a conservative group launched a television commercial attacking a potential nominee -- an unlikely nominee, and yes, we've reached the point of advertising campaigns in advance of judicial nominations.
Jane Kelly's sin? Before being named a federal appeals court judge, a position to which she was confirmed unanimously just three years ago, Kelly was a federal public defender, representing a client. Just like the Constitution guarantees.
Second, the Republican National Committee announced that it would team up with another conservative group to mount a "comprehensive judicial response effort" on the eventual nominee. "We're going to vet that person and put their real record on display," said Chairman Reince Priebus. Funny, I thought that was the job of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio says that the tension Donald Trump cultivates at his rallies is worthy "of the Third World." He's overstating the case, and for that, Americans should count themselves lucky.
I have been to eight of Trump's rallies in several states over the last two months, and I have seen protesters removed or jeered at each one, but I have not seen anything that could be described as a serious brawl.
In Trump's months of campaigning before growing and fired-up audiences, some of them so large they packed stadiums, no one has been seriously injured -- and that includes the police officer and two civilians who were briefly taken to a hospital after the canceled rally in Chicago on Friday. A punch, a reporter pushed to the ground: This is hardly the mayhem that sometimes accompanies politics in what Rubio calls "the Third World."
In the current era, it's probably impossible to find a nonpartisan choice for the Supreme Court. But if you did a national search for one, hoping to find a judge's judge, known above all for caution and humility, there's a good chance that you'd settle on Merrick Garland. (Disclosure: I have known Garland for many years, and we are friendly acquaintances.)
No one should doubt that in terms of the future arc of the law, replacing Antonin Scalia with Garland would greatly matter. But it's important to see exactly why. Above all, he would be a stabilizing force on the court, promoting continuity rather than large-scale change.
An illuminating example: Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has repeatedly suggested that the individual right to bear arms "hangs in the balance" -- that with another Democratic appointee, a majority of the Supreme Court would rule that the Second Amendment confers no such right. But that's not going to happen.
Merrick Garland is the safest possible pick for President Barack Obama. Extraordinarily well-qualified, moderate and often pro-prosecution, Garland has been considered a potential Supreme Court nominee almost since 1997, when Bill Clinton put him on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. But if he isn't confirmed, it isn't a permanent loss for Democrats. Sri Srinivasan, his much younger near-clone, will still be waiting in the wings as a confirmable moderate Democratic back-up.
Among court-watchers, it's long been understood that Garland needed unique circumstances to be nominated: The retiree had to be a white man, and the Senate had to be Republican. Otherwise, why would a Democratic president nominate a moderate white man?
In recent years, the conventional wisdom regarding Garland was that his age -- he is now 63 -- would work against him. Sri Srinivasan, also on the D.C. Circuit, is just as smart as the whip-smart Garland; is only 49; and is South Asian and Hindu to boot, offering a touch of diversity. (Garland is white and Jewish; his almost too WASP-y name is the giveaway clue.)

Turkish media reports say the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has begun releasing 32 Turkish truck drivers kidnapped last month during the Islamist group's takeover of Mosul, in northern Iraq.
The truck drivers are reportedly being escorted by ISIL fighters to Irbil, in the Kurdish autonomous region of Iraq, to be handed to authorities there.
One truck driver told Turkey's NTV television that some abductees were in poor health.
ISIL militants who stormed the Turkish Consulate in Mosul in June also kidnapped 49 other Turks, including the consul, staff members, guards, and three children.
There is still no information regarding their whereabouts.
The Al-Qaeda splinter group, which says it now wants to be called the Islamic State, has declared a "caliphate" in territories it seized across Iraq and Syria.

The owner has a nice scam. They spray paint the used props. When you bring back the boat and the paint is missing they charge you for a new prop $150. Pictures taken before clearly show a used prop with a thick coat of paint. When you dispute the claim, the customer service turns confrontational. I will try my luck with another vendor my next trip.
