We thought the voice controls worked well for the most part, but there were times when the headset didn't quite understand what we were saying. Samsung warns that the system won't recognize words if you speak softly or unclearly. Also, if there is a lot of background noise around you, the headset might inadvertently respond to voice commands from other people. Finally, you can't use the voice controls during music playback. In our tests, we found that voice controls didn't always work with the FreeSync app, which we'll get to later. If you would rather not use the voice controls, you can turn them off.
The HM3700 is compatible with Samsung's own FreeSync Android app, which adds more functionality to the headset, like incoming caller ID and text-to-speech for text messages and Gmail. You can adjust the number of words the headset will read to you, as well as the reading speed. You can also schedule alarms to go off at a certain time. With the Android app you can control the LED indicator and easily toggle the voice command function on and off. You can enable multipoint mode via the app (you can also do so without the app; it's just a bit more troublesome). The app also gives you a handy cheat list of all the voice commands available to you. As a bonus, when the app is activated, you'll see the headset's battery meter at the top of the phone's screen.
While we appreciate the extra features the Android app provides, we have to say that we didn't always get the best experience with it. When the app was on, the Bluetooth headset would often disconnect, and we would have to reconnect it to get the app to work. When we tried the "What time is it?" voice command, it would sometimes stall. The text-to-speech feature also failed to impress us, with horribly robotic readings of text, often to the point of incoherence. It's better than nothing, especially if you're driving a car and don't have the time to read your text messages, but we would really rather leave the messages to be read later.
Call quality
We paired the HM3700 with the HTC Evo 3D. Sound quality was quite impressive on the whole. Music sounded rich and full, with decent bass. We didn't mind the acoustics of the provided earbuds, but quality could certainly improve if you use your own preferred headphones.
Call quality was decent as well. We heard our callers clearly, with hardly any hiss or crackle. Voices did sound a little distorted at times, but nothing distracting. On their end, callers reported good audio quality. They too said there was some distortion, with our voice sometimes going in and out. However, it only happened occasionally, and wasn't a big problem. We also tested the headset in a relatively noisy environment at a busy cafe during lunchtime. While callers could hear the hum of the crowd in the background, we were able to carry on a conversation uninterrupted.
The Samsung HM3700 has a rated battery life of 9 hours of talk time and 12.5 days of standby time.
The Samsung HM3700 is a great Bluetooth headset if you want both a mono and stereo option in one handy package. It works well as both types of headset, though we did miss having player controls when playing music. It feels comfortable in the ear, and we liked the provided pair of stereo earbuds too. We do recommend using the headset clip when the earbuds are plugged in so that the headset isn't dangling freely in front of you. Features are great, and we like the voice control option. While we appreciate the extra features the FreeSync Android app provides, we think it's a little buggy, and we don't really think it's necessary. On the whole, we think the Samsung HM3700 is worth its $59.99 price, but we would recommend shopping around for an even better deal.

Good call Karmel.
This is def an east coast club banger (sounds a lil too much like

I'm hot cuz I'm fly/
you aint cuz you're not

There's nothing like a good relationship to settle someone down.
I'm not sure, relationship is the right word in this context. Initially it may come off as semantics, but bear with me.
"Relationship" suggests an interaction between two separate beings, an apartness. While in reality, when nature is allowed to take it's course, the process of a man and a woman coming together is more a merger of two beings. Two becoming one. No longer a relationship between them, but one unit now in a relationship with the rest of the world.
The concept of "a" relationship is inherently temporary. What goes on between a man and a woman on the deepest level is inherently permanent. This can't be "a" relationship. It must be "the" relationship.
After all a woman doesn't really love a man, if not being with him, is an option.
Inspiring a woman to feel this way is part of the process of a man saving a woman from herself.
In an incredibly revealing interview with Parade magazine, Berry claimed that she tried to use exhaust fumes to take her own life, but thanks to a powerful vision, stopped at the last minute. "I was sitting in my car, and I knew the gas was coming, when I had an image of my mother finding me," Berry said. "She sacrificed so much for her children, and to end my life would be an incredibly selfish thing to do. It was all about a relationship. My sense of worth was so low. I promised myself I would never be a coward again."
During the interview, Berry also admitted that she underwent sex therapy with ex-husband #2 Eric Benet, an experience that she wishes she never had. "I was putting everyone's needs before mine." She kicked Benet to the curb in 2005.
Now, however, Halle's focus is clear -- the Oscar winner, who's currently dating 31-year-old model Gabriel Aubry, says she wants to be a mom, telling the magazine, "my sights are set on a different chapter of my life, which is motherhood. That's the goal I have very clearly set for myself.
Yeah. Now she wants to be a mom. That's what she wanted years ago but she chose to chase external affirmation like "Oscars". So what's her answer? She's "dating" a male model 10 years younger than she is ...
Lord ha' mercy. I'm arranging my daughter's marriage.

Karl Rove Raps While Troops Die In Iraq
Forget Rove. Which handkerchief head plantation negro is that on stage during this foolishness?
From "Jesus Camp" 2006
By Berit Kjos
As the movie begins, Harry Potter is dreaming. A large serpent slithers out of the darkness, and Harry hears the cold, hissing voice of the murderous Voldemort. This evil wizard -- whose body had been decimated during a futile attempt to kill Harry thirteen years earlier -- is instructing his groveling servant Wormtail. Their deadly plot would require Harry's life. "I will not disappoint you, my Lord," Wormtail promises.
This nightmare introduces a major theme of the story: Voldemort is planning his return to a physical body through a blood sacrifice involving the 14-year-old student wizard.
Compared to Voldemort's wicked plans and heartless brutality, Harry's magical training seems downright good. So when the dark scene above is replaced with Ron Weasley's fun-loving home (where Harry and Hermione are finishing up their summer break), all seems well. Who cares if these friendly folks are all witches and wizards? Here paganism seems normal! Never mind that the supernatural forces they manipulate correspond to those of Satan rather than God. In this enticing setting, the occult realm feels good to the unthinking audience. .

HATE CRIME or GAY POLITICS GONE WILD?
Four young black men accused of beating a gay recording artist, while yelling anti-gay slurs pleaded guilty Wednesday to hate crime charges.
According to 'The Associated Press,' the defendants faced up to 25 years in prison if they had been convicted of the top count, first-degree assault as a hate crime.
The assault took place around 1:30 a.m. on June 10, 2006 after Aviance left a gay bar in the city's East Village neighborhood. They threw two garbage bags and a paint can at the singer before attacking him and yelling anti-gay slurs, police said.
They punched and kicked the 39-year-old Richmond, Virginia native. Passers-by yelled for the attack to stop, and when it was over a man walked Aviance to a hospital.
In exchange for their guilty pleas Gerard Johnson, 17, will be sentenced to 15 years in prison; Akino George and Jarell Sears, both 21, will get eight-year prison terms; and Gregory Archie, 19, receive a six-year sentence.
Now these boys were WRONG. You attack a person, you should be punished. However, had Aviance not been a black homosexual but had he been a black heterosexual, had he been Big J - they would have been charged with assault and probably given probation and community service. 15 years in New York State Prison for a 17 year old had might as well be life in prison.
Yet in this era of out of control gay propaganda and identity politics homosexuals have been elevated to a status of legal protection higher than heterosexuals.
The Tyranny of Good Intentions 09-26-05
The point here is that the bend in the rules has created an absurdity in the law that needs to stop. Aren't all violent crimes crimes about hate? A crime is a crime. Why should the severity of the punishment depend upon the identity of the victim. As Roseville Conservative observed, "This is unfair and denies all individuals equal protection under the law. In addition, the whole concept of hate crimes is misleading. Every violent crime is an expression of hate against an individual. There is no such thing as a 'love' crime of violence."
When a poor person robs and kills someone for their property, is that not out of hate for the upper class? Does everyone in society now become a protected class and anything done to you because you are a particular color, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation becomes a subject for federal adjudication? It remains a mystery to me why state laws regarding vandalism, assault and murder do not suffice to cover crimes committed by crazy people, regardless of their motivations.
There is no end to this. At some point, everyone will be a minority (Whites are racial minorities in four states and counting) and will face hatred directed at them because of that minority identity. Expanding the scope of federalized crimes is not the answer and will not fix it. This is the history of humanity.
We are quickly sliding down the slippery slope and the jagged federal government consolidation rocks at the bottom look really dangerous. Someone please break our fall!

*1999-00 - Shaquille O'Neal, Los Angeles Lakers
True. Gotta give it to you Anonymous.
All those cats won the MVP ... "vote".
But let us consider some less subjective criteria ... numbers.
How many of these MVP's have dropped 81?
How many have dropped 60?
How many have dropped 50 back to back to back to back?
For every Nash buzzer beater Kobe has 10.
For every Magic tight-short wearing loopty-loop look-away pass Kobe has a slashing dunk and 1.
Has Shaq hit 61 free throws in his life? Kobe hit 61 free throws in a row.
Shaq needs a 40 point superstar guard to win. The big untold secret: D'Wayne Wade played in Miami with Shaq, EXACTLY the way Kobe played in LA with Shaq.
Shaq, when you go 38% from the line, the opposing team WANTS the ball in your hands.
Give Kobe a teammate 80% the player Pippen was and he will deliver a championship this year.

Fanatical Secularism
Roderick said...
Could you please define fanatical secualarism,dv?
I term is as vague to me as Islamic fanaticism. It requires context.
Fanatical Secularism can be viewed as its own sort of religion whereby the "state/media" replaces the church / mosque / temple and, despite claims otherwise, also assumes the role of the "higher power".
Man is God. Well … certain men. Christian love is replaced with "tolerance" and sex.
It can be safely assumed that most secularists are on the political left and have a tendency toward moral relativism, which is the belief that we all live by our own moral code and "whose to say one is better than the other" blah blah blah. However, in truth, secularists do believe in a set of moral truths: those that THEY determine.
Some may refer to it as the spirit of the anti-christ. After all it is indeed against Christ. The secularists are not theists since their belief system does not include a diety per se. Although they abhor the notion of dogma they nevertheless rigidly espouse the strict adherence to the fundamentals of their faith.
Fanatical Secularism even has basic Commandments and a few prophets.
(1) The improvement of this life by material means. (2) That science is the available Providence of man. (3) The Prophets Kurzweil, Dawkins, and Hawkins.

The images on the top left and bottom right are images of Ben Laden shot in 1998. The images on the top right and bottom left are still frames taken from the "Bin Laden Video Confession" widely televised in December, 2001.
An interview with Osama bin Laden was published in a Karachi-based Pakistani daily newspaper, Ummat, on September 28, 2001. In this interview, bin Laden explicitly denies involvement in the September 11 attacks in the US:
"I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children and other people. Such a practice is forbidden even in the course of a battle."
FBI: "Bin Laden Not Wanted for 9/11"
"The FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden with the 9/11 attacks on America" - FBI spokesman Rex Tomb
On June 5, 2006, reporter Ed Hass contacted the FBI Headquarters in Washington DC, to learn why Bin Laden's Most Wanted poster did not indicate that Usama was also wanted in connection with 9/11.
He spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Ladens Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, "The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Ladens Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11."
First no WMD's ... Now Bin Laden's confession video turns out to have been faked. What's next, Saddam is on the board of Haliburton?
Islam Oppresses Women?
Yeah, maybe. But let us not forget that the religion of secularism isn't exactly honoring women either.

No Such Thing As Gay Propaganda?
PARENTS OUTRAGED: Second-grade teacher reads "modern fairy tale" to class on homosexual romance and marriage. The story centers around a young prince who must marry before becoming King. Uninterested in the most beautiful young girls in the kingdom, the prince falls in love with and marries his best friend. Settling into a same sex marriage.
LEXINGTON, MA - Lexington public school officials have told Rob and Robin Wirthlin that since "gay marriage is legal" they may describe homosexual relationships to their son in second grade, without notice, and that parents may not opt their child out of such discussions. The Wirthlins were livid.
Teacher tells parents that theme of day was "weddings" and that gay marriage is legal - "I want to present all points of view." No notice given.
Principal tells parents (1) they cannot opt out (2) there will be no parental notification despite state law and (3) "I will not guarantee that something like this won't happen again".
Superintendent and School Board Chairman tell TV reporters they agree with decision.
Teacher attended GLSEN presentation promoting homosexuality in classroom. David Parker makes statement.
Son comes home with bizarre story. On March 24, their second-grade son came home from the Estabrook Elementary School and repeated to his mother the story read to him earlier that day about men getting married to each other. His teacher had read the book "King and King" to the class, in which a prince doesn't want to marry any princesses, but instead falls in love with a princess's brother and marries him in a big palace wedding. Mrs. Wirthlin remembers that it was so startling to her son that he described details of the book such as that "the queen even shed a tear." It obviously made an impression on him.
"Thank God The Kids Aint In The Car"
"I'm glad the kids aint in the car."
Those were the words that raced through my head when I realized that blue blur weaving towards me was a SUV that was going to hit me. That knowledge brings me a strange moment of peace. I'm happy even. No regrets. BFFFWWOOMCRUNNNNCHBAMM!
Spin. Stop. BAMMMMMM! Smoke. Crunching glass.
The engine of the Benz is sitting on the dashboard. I'm alright. I knew that. OK. Cool. Thank God the kids weren't in the car. Get your head. Was the pistol under the seat? Cool. Damn. What about the other people? I hope they are not dead.
I opened the car door and stepped out of the car. Screams. "Lord Jesus! Lord Jesus!" There's a black woman getting out of her car and walking towards me. "Lay down Mr. Lay down." Damn. What's the matter? Am I on fire? Am I bleeding? Why is she telling me to lay down?
I look back at my car. T Bone. Damn. I liked that car too. To hell with it. I'm glad the kids weren't in the car.
I keep walking. I see a bald middle-aged surfer with blood on his face staggering away from the wreckage of what used to be his SUV. Other than shock and a broken nose, he's alright. I shout. "Was anybody else in the car with you?" He shakes his head. I ask him if he's alright. He shakes his head again. I give him a hug. I walk over to the black lady who was calling for Jesus. We smile at each other. I give her a hug and tell her thank you. I hope she doesn't feel what's in my waist band.
Sirens. Fire trucks. Cops. Call my wife. "Baby, I'm alright. But I was in an acid…" Aghhhhhhhh! Whatttt! "Nah, nah, I'm alright." Car is totaled but I'm OK. You need to come get me. I'm on Lincoln and Manchester. She pulls up before I hang up.
There is a fireman taking my pulse. 120/80. He says "That's pretty low for after an accident." I couldn't resist "Well, man you know, I'm kind of cool like that." There's a guy standing next to me. Were you driving the black Benz? Yeah. He looks at the accident and shakes his head. Did you see it? I ask him. "Yes". What did you see?
"You had the light man. The green arrow. He ran the light. All the way. I saw it dude. He came from way back there by Ralphs! He had to be doing 75. I'm your man. Barry. I live in Playa Del Rey". He shakes my hand. I direct Barry to the nice police officer who is taking the report.
Then I walk over to my car. T Bone. The interior is immaculate. Side airbags hanging. Fireman tells me. "Dude. I see accidents half this bad. People are dead. I can't believe you walked away. This car is amazing. He calls over some other fireman to show them the inside of my car. "Normally the steering wheel caves in people's chests. Sometimes we have to cut their feet out of the peddles." Note to self. Buy another Mercedes.
I open the trunk of the car. I remove my Mizunos. Pat the car on bumper to say goodbye.
Thank God the kids weren't in the car.

Starbucks + Israel = More Dead Kids
A Thankyou to all Starbucks customers
Dear Starbucks Customer,
First and foremost I want to thank you for making Starbucks the $6.4 billion global company it is today, with more than 90,000 employees, 9,700 stores, and 33 million weekly customers. Every latte and macchiato you drink at Starbucks is a contribution to the close alliance between the United States and Israel, in fact it is - as I was assured when being honored with the "Israel 50th Anniversary Friend of Zion Tribute Award" - key to Israel's long-term PR success. Your daily Chocolate Chips Frappucino helps paying for student projects in North America and Israel, presenting them with the badly needed Israeli perspective of the Intifada.
Starbucks, through the Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah, an international network of Jewish education centers, sponsors Israeli military arms fairs in an effort to strengthen the special connection between the American, European and Israeli defense industries and to showcase the newest Israeli innovations in defense. As my contribution to the fight against the global rise of anti-Semitism, the reason behind the current conflict in the Middle-East, I help Aish HaTorah sponsoring the website "honestreporting.com" and produce material informing of Israel's side of the story.
Without you, my valued customer, I wouldn't be able to raise hundreds of millions of dollars each year to protect Israeli citizens from terrorist attacks and keep reminding every Jew in America, to defend Israel at any cost. $5 billion per year from the US government are no way near enough to pay for all the weaponry, bulldozers and security fences needed to protect innocent Israeli citizens from anti-Semitic Muslim terrorism. Corporate sponsorships are essential.
Having the bigger picture in mind, Starbucks have donated a store to the US army to help in the "War on Terror". I cannot emphasize enough, how vital the "War on Terror" is for the continued viability and prospering of the Jewish State.
So next time you feel like chilling out at a Starbucks store, please remember that with every cup you drink at Starbucks you are helping with a noble cause.

Anne Coulter - Insane Bigot or Brilliant Manipulator of the Culture?
"I give a lot of speeches out in America, I frequently visit America, and Americans are pretty freaked out about somebody going to rehab for using a word, and that's of course what I was referring to.
And I don't think there's anything offensive about any variation of faggy, faggotry, faggot, fag. It's a schoolyard taunt. It means -- it means wussy.
It means, you know, Hillary giving a speech in a fake Southern drawl -- that's faggy. A trial lawyer who weeps before juries is faggy. Lifetime-type TV, faggy.
Intellectual Insurgent said...
The bitch don't got balls. She's insane. Her Edwards taunt is the least of her utterings. The fact that she gets so much media attention speaks volumes about America's small-mindedness.
Denmark Vesey said ...
Insane? Or are the Anne Coulters of this world an inevitable response to the gay lobby and liberal thought police who went overboard in their media crucifixion of Isaiah Washington for using the word faggot?
"Faggot". Distasteful? Yes. Mental illness? No.
In the long run, Anne Coulter will be portrayed as taking a levelheaded and intellectually courageous stand for free speech and against the tyrannical hypocrisy of left wing Identity Politics.
Intellectual Insurgent said...
Dude, you cannot defend this bitch. She believes America should invade all Muslim countries and convert them to Christianity, she called the 9/11 widows the "witches of New Brunswick(NJ)" and accused them of enjoying their husbands' deaths. She "joked" that someone should poison Souter.
Like I said, her comment about Edwards is the least of her utterings. She is just evil. The fact that you may understand her explanation for the Edwards comment doesn't negate her evilness.
Mar 9, 2007 3:56:00 PM
No. You are right Insurgent. Anne Coulter is a broom short of being a witch. No argument from me there.
However, even witches, utter the occasional truth. Which is the crux of my argument. Anne Coulter comes off as a straight talking champion of free speech and common sense by standing up to the gay lobby that has sought to make it effectively a crime to describe even the most outrageous homosexual behavior as "faggoty"?
Intellectual Insurgent said...
Oh, and by the way, I get where you are coming from with regard to your view that Sat-Ann is an inevitable result of hypocritical left-wing politics. I went up to San Fran two weekends ago and was reminded why I am not a "liberal" and never have been.
The lefties are equally as reactionary as the Republicans (just about different things), have very little factual grasp of anything, and the thing I couldn't get over was hanging out with my hyper-Berkleyfied friend who protests about pollution and the like but tosses her cigarette butts in the street with no regard for the glaring contradiction. It seems like most of her friends are single mothers (never married) who smoke weed and dread their kids' hair and she gets hyper defensive when I tell her she hangs out with a bunch of broken, lost women who are bad role models for their kids and for her. And these are the "activist" crowd.
LOL! Brilliant.
"Quite literally, it means that virtually everything the average person sees or hears, outside of her own personal communications, is determined by the interests of private, unaccountable executives"

They have even managed to turn the escalation of a failed war into a "surge," as if it were a current of electricity through a wire, instead of blood spurting from the ruptured vein of a soldier.

WASHINGTON — The Democratic-controlled Congress is moving to outflank both the Bush administration and the United Nations with the toughest set of sanctions against Iran that have ever been proposed.
The introduction of the new legislation comes as more than 5,500 members of America's largest pro-Israel lobby are set to arrive in Washington for their annual policy conference. They are expected to press Congress to endorse new legislation to sanction foreign companies that do business with Iran and to re-impose the import restrictions, on items such as rugs, pistachios, and caviar, which President Clinton lifted in 2000 to foster dialogue with an Iranian regime that was seen as reformist.

"Our helicopter landed in the town of Kiryat Shmona on the border. What struck me first about the village was how familiar it looked. The houses and streets looked like ones you might find in a suburb in America. I could imagine young children riding their bikes down the streets. I could imagine the sounds of their joyful play just like my own daughters. There were cars in the driveway. The shrubs were trimmed. The families were living their lives."
Inevitably, one by one, American leaders bow before AIPAC, where they essentially state an oath of allegiance to the Zionist State.
To get the Jewish vote, Jewish money and Jewish media largesse, a Presidential hopeful must make the pilgrimage to Israel, promise AIPAC billions of dollars in "loans" to the Jewish state, and promise to use the American military to attack any people Israel finds threatening.
To get the black vote all you have to do is sing.

Gilad Atzmon
Award winning musician and writer, Gilad Atzmon served in the Israeli military, yet later became one of the most eloquent opponents of Zionism in the world. Atzmon suggests that the mentality of Jewish extremists predates what is referred to as "The Holocaust" with a capital "H" for as Atzmon suggests in his title this Holocaust mentality has been going on "From Esther to AIPAC."
"Interestingly enough, the Holocaust religion extends far beyond the internal Jewish discourse. In fact the new religion operates as a mission. It sets shrines in far lands. As we can see, the emerging religion is already becoming a new world order. It is the Holocaust that is now used as an alibi to nuke Iran… To a certain extent we are all subject to this religion, some of us are worshipers, others are just subject to its power. Interestingly enough, those who deny the Holocaust are themselves subject to abuse by the high priests of this religion. Holocaust religion constitutes the Western 'Real'. We are not allowed to touch it or to look into it. Very much like the Israelites who are entitled to obey their God but never to question him. " –- Gilad Atzmon
Philosopher Yeshayahu Leibowitz, the German born Hebrew University professor, was probably the first to suggest that the Holocaust has become the new Jewish religion. 'The Holocaust' is far more than historical narrative, it indeed contains most of the essential religious elements:
1) it has its priests (Simon Wiesenthal, Elie Wiesel, Deborah Lipstadt, etc.) and
2) prophets (Shimon Peres, Benjamin Netanyahu and those who warn about the Iranian Judeocide to come).
3) It has its commandments and dogmas ('never again', 'six million', etc.).
4) It has its rituals (memorial days, Pilgrimage to Auschwitz etc.).
5) It establishes an esoteric symbolic order (kapo, gas chambers, chimneys, dust, Musselmann, etc.).
6) It has its shrines and temples (Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum and now the UN).
7) If this is not enough, the Holocaust religion is also maintained by a massive economic network and global financial infrastructures (Holocaust industry a la Norman Finkelstein).
8) Most interestingly, the Holocaust religion is coherent enough to define the new 'antichrists' (the Deniers) and it is powerful enough to persecute them (Holocaust denial laws).

In what looks to be a spectacular summer for fans of blockbusters, a quintet of them stand out.
"The Avengers": I'd be excited for this even if the preceding films (well, most of them weren't so fun). But with the amazing Joss Whedon behind the camera, there's no way I'm going to miss it. (I've already bought IMAX tickets for my nephew and myself this weekend.)
"The Dark Knight Rises": Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy comes to an end with a returning Christian Bale facing off against Anne Hathaway and Tom Hardy as Catwoman and Bane. Can they top Heath Ledger's thrilling Joker? Maybe not, but the film looks incredible, regardless.
"Rock of Ages": This musical — starring Mary J. Blige, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Tom Cruise — celebrates some of my favorite music of all time: '80s hair band music from the likes of Poison, Whitesnake and more. The Broadway cast recording is phenomenally fun, so I can't wait to see what director Adam Shankman ("Hairspray") does with the show.
"Prometheus": Ridley Scott returns to sci-fi in a film that looks like a prequel to his "Alien." This stars Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace and Patrick Wilson.
"Brave": Pixar's latest always deserves a look, but this one — the company's first with a female lead — looks especially enticing.

If Black People Had Listened To This Man 40 Years Ago Millions Of Us Wouldn't Be About To Die From Diabetes & Cancer Today
By Messenger Elijah Muhammad
Eat one meal per day- nothing between meals and eat the right food.We eat meat but meat was never intended for man to eat from the very creation of man. We have been eating meat.Why? Because the ruler of this nation of earth for the past six thousand years (6,000 years ) is an enemy to the Original Man who has inhabited the earth from time unknown to man.
A people that have been populating the earth here for billions the trillions of years would not eat the wrong food if they had not been made to suffer for guidance under a made enemy of theirs. And, the enemy does not follow what we, the Original Man had and was practicing.
It is true, according to the Teaching of Almighty God to me that he caused us to eat the wrong foods. He is doing it himself and any man (the Original Black Man ) Who comes into his civilization, he tries to force him to eat the wrong foods.
I have seen him doing this and, we, whom he reared himself and had the power over us after destroying the knowledge of self from us.
Everything he eats, he tells you it is alright. So, if you follow the white race's [Plantation] food eating, you are bound to eat the wrong food for your consumption.
So, I warn you against the food of this race. [Plantation] They do not eat the good food because they found us eating the good food and to make a world different from ours, they had to resort to eating the wrong food so that they could say that they established something which we did not have or were not doing.
The Holy Qur-an Refers to the white man [Plantation] as eating like a beast. They eat as the beasts.This is true; they do not deny it.
The Bible teaches us against eating their dainty meats, which is a warning that you may be eating the wrong meat. Since they learned that their time was limited among us on earth, they have studied everything possible that was an enemy to us to make us to accept that enemy and like the enemy.
David Mills Wrote An Article About Sister Souljah In 1992. It Helped Put Him On The Map
By David Mills
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, May 13, 1992
"Souljah was not born to make white people feel comfortable. I am African first. I am black first. I want what's good for me and my people first. And if my survival means your total destruction, then so be it. You built this wicked system. They say two wrongs don't make it right, but it damn sure makes it even."
- Sister Souljah, from the song "The Hate That Hate Produced," 1992
After the Rodney King verdict and its fiery aftermath, Sister Souljah, a rapper and orator, appeared on NBC's "Sunday Today" with Sen. Bill Bradley (D-N.J.) and Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.). And she sat alongside black professors from Yale and Columbia on Bill Moyers's PBS series "Listening to America."
She calmly explained that African Americans are "at war," and that the explosion in Los Angeles was "revenge" against a system of white oppression.
But during an interview in Washington last week, Souljah's empathy for the rioters reached a chilling extreme. Forget the statistics emerging on the racial variety of looters and people who died. Forget the economic motives of those who plundered stores. To Souljah, this was a black-on-white "rebellion," plain and simple and righteous.
"I mean, if black people kill black people every day, why not have a week and kill white people? You understand what I'm saying? In other words, white people, this government and that mayor were well aware of the fact that black people were dying every day in Los Angeles under gang violence. So if you're a gang member and you would normally be killing somebody, why not kill a white person? Do you think that somebody thinks that white people are better, or above dying, when they would kill their own kind?"
(Read the rest of the story after the jump.)
As she said on "Sunday Today": "Unfortunately for white people, they think it's all right for our children to die, for our men to be in prison, and not theirs."
Sister Souljah will be back on "Today" this morning, live from Burbank. Consider it a wake-up call.
Whose analysis of the violence in Los Angeles, in the months and years to come, will matter more? The conservative pundit's, placing blame squarely on young criminals who "terrorized" a city? The liberal politician's, bemoaning poverty and the neglect of our cities? Or the radical rapper's, asserting that white people and Korean merchants had it coming?
Ask the kids who watch MTV.
The King verdict and its backlash have shown America the power of hip-hop music as a political medium. Television coverage of the crisis confirmed, as never before, the status of hard-edged rappers as spokesmen for the black lower class, delegates of America's angry youth. Opinion-makers. Leaders.
"Whoever wants to speak to young people will have to come through the corridor of hip-hop," says Sister Souljah, whose debut album, "360 Degrees of Power," came out last month. Born Lisa Williamson twentysomething years ago, she was a New York community activist and established public speaker before launching her rap career under the auspices of Public Enemy, standard-bearers of hip-hop's militant wing. As rap has grown in popularity among black and white listeners, offering everything from cute kids (Kris Kross) to professing Christians (Hammer) to raunchy comedians (2 Live Crew), political rappers have come to be considered its conscience.
"When it was really understood that rap music makes millions of dollars, and that rap artists represent the voices of millions of young people," Souljah says, "I think that's when all the institutions of America came to their senses about having to involve a rap artist in their analysis. {With} a rebellion carried out primarily by African youth, how could you ignore African youth? It would be impossible. Not if you were a serious journalist."
Bill Moyers showed a clip from one of Souljah's fulminating videos -- The time for scared, lip-trembling, word-changing, self-denying, compromising, knee-shaking black people is over! -- then asked her, "How would you like me -- I'm white -- to interpret your work?"
"Well," she responded politely, a bit of the Bronx in her voice, "I don't make my work for you to interpret it. I make it for black young people so that they can understand that we are at war, that we have to be strong-minded, that we have to be productive, that we have to be unafraid of expressing ourselves and getting what we want in this society."
Rappers like Sister Souljah are shattering the boundaries between performer and audience, and between entertainment and politics. When a jury acquitted the four Los Angeles policemen who'd beaten Rodney King, X-Clan, a Brooklyn-based activist rap group, was performing at San Francisco State University. The rappers got the news, stopped the show, then led an impromptu march of about 200 people, chanting "Whose streets? Our streets!" and "{Expletive} the police!"
Which echoes N.W.A.'s infamous revenge fantasy "{Expletive} tha Police," a dream of "a bloodbath of cops dying in L.A." That song, denounced by the Fraternal Order of Police, concludes with the rappers sitting in judgment of a white officer: "The jury has found you guilty of being a redneck, white-bread {expletive expletive}." And the cop pleads, "I want justice! I want justice!" That came out in 1988.
Two members of N.W.A. were interviewed by "MTV News" (MTV News?) when the burning and looting got started in south-central. And appearing live on MTV was Chuck D of Public Enemy, whose words "fight the power" reverberate on the soundtrack of Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" while the white-owned pizzeria burns to the ground. That came out in 1989.
And Spike Lee begat L.A.'s John Singleton, whose hit film "Boyz N the Hood" took its name from an old N.W.A. song. That movie launched the acting career of ex-N.W.A. member Ice Cube, who provided a new rap for the album "How to Survive in South Central," yet another piece of ironic foreshadowing. Be alert, stay calm, as you enter the concrete Vietnam ... That came out last year.
As did Ice Cube's warning to Korean merchants: Pay respect to the black fist, or we'll burn your store right down to a crisp. That's from his million-selling album, "Death Certificate."
Entertainment as politics? Politics as entertainment?
On "The Arsenio Hall Show" last Thursday night, while Johnny Carson and Buddy Hackett were laughing it up in another universe, rapper KRS-One was committing "lyrical terrorism," unleashing brand-new rhymes:
Now I'm hardcore, walking on the ave,
Watching white people look at me then walk fast,
After beating us, raping us and robbing us.
Four hundred years of that's what's inside of us.
Take a look at me now, I'm really your creation ...
Even ABC's "Nightline" felt the funk. On May 4, Ted Koppel's extraordinary open-air conversation with L.A. gang members ended with one of them looking into the camera and rapping over a hard beat:
When you're living in poverty, crazy you gotta be,
'Cause ain't nobody out here looking out for me but me ...
This is a new media age. Top 40 radio is dead, and "{Expletive} tha Police" is in the American consciousness. Carson is history, and KRS-One is in America's bedrooms requesting "amnesty" for 13,000 (presumably black) prisoners in Los Angeles. Daily newspapers are folding, and in record stores across America you'll find Ice Cube's news-pegged commentaries, such as this from a duet with Sister Souljah: "You teach freedom of speech, as long as black men don't say Howard Beach, Rodney King or Bensonhurst. Tawana and Tasha, we ain't forgot ya."
Remember too: Everything that has happened in Los Angeles since the King beating is due to a camcorder. The video images were news, and they were evidence, but they also became a unit of language for hip-hop artists. They were spliced into a video for the group B.W.P., and reenacted in a video for Public Enemy. Just as electronic images of the riot/rebellion are bound to show up in rap videos too.
CNN today, MTV tomorrow. At this rate, not only will the revolution be televised, it'll be on pay-per-view. With lots of rap stars.
An Eye for an Eye Sister Souljah was sitting in the Capital Hilton lounge pantomiming her "dramatic" stage persona for the benefit of a photographer. Scrunched brow, out-thrust fist, round hot eyes, lips moving staccato.
A finely dressed, middle-aged white woman, sitting nearby with her spoon in some ice cream, stared oddly at the young black woman, then smiled when caught by the eyes of a third party.
Souljah was in Washington last Tuesday to tape an appearance on Black Entertainment Television. This Sunday she'll be here again, as the keynote speaker at the Malcolm X Day Celebration in Anacostia Park. (X-Clan will be there too, performing.) What she thinks matters.
And the interview at the Hilton may foretell how the militant wing of the hip-hop movement deals with the L.A. crisis in its art. In one sense, Souljah is emblematic of rap-as-politics. Her "360 Degrees of Power" contains probably the most fervid denunciations of white people ever marketed by a major label. (She's signed to Epic Records, which is owned by Sony. How's that for blacks, whites and Asians working together?)
But "360 Degrees" is off to a slow start in the marketplace, and some observers say hip-hop fans consider it too shrill, even though Souljah is a respected voice. "She's not afraid to take a stand," says James Bernard, senior editor of the Source, a magazine of "hip-hop culture and politics." "She's one of those uncompromising voices."
But "I'm not sure what Sister Souljah adds to the music, in a musical sense," he says. "When she rhymes, people don't say, 'My God, that's the most incredible line I ever heard in my life.' "
"She kind of screams it out. That's her whole delivery," says Havelock Nelson, rap columnist for Billboard magazine. "When I see her speak, I feel the passion and I become moved. You can feel the pain, the anger, whatever she's trying to put across. But I don't think it transfers to the record. I don't think the people want to hear the same lecture in the middle of a jam. A lot of people aren't giving her their ear."
Ironic, then, that Souljah declares on her album: "America is always trying to strangle and silence black people." How does that jibe with her own status as a blossoming media star? Her place in Bill Moyers's Rolodex?
"There's a difference," she said. "I don't evaluate the world solely on my own individual accomplishments, because I recognize that I'm an unusual victory {under} this system of oppression. Usually this system is successful in crushing the spirit, the mind and the hearts of young people. Because I've been able to grow up in the welfare system, and go through the public housing system, and go through all these government programs, and come out still in control of my own mind and thoughts, it's unusual. And it would be naive for me to try to evaluate everyone else by that standard."
Souljah is a woman of poise and intelligence. She attended Rutgers University between 1981 and 1987, majoring in history, though she didn't earn a degree. According to her publicity material, she has lectured in South Africa, Europe and the Soviet Union.
Her views on the violence in Los Angeles are, to say the least, challenging. Consider Rodney King's own televised news conference, during which he beseeched the rioters to stop. "Can we all get along?" he asked in a cracking voice. "We've got to quit. ... It's just not right."
To many who saw this, King's appeal was heartfelt and touching. But Souljah compared it to the scene in "Roots" where Kunta Kinte is beaten and beaten until he accepts the slave name "Toby." That news conference was Rodney King saying, "My name is Toby."
"After you beat the hell out of somebody, of course they're going to submit to you," she said. "Why would I think that Rodney King, after being beaten brutally by the police, is sober-minded? Why would I think Rodney King, as a black man who has no power in this system, would think that he {could} say what he really thinks and believes? So it meant nothing to me. He's just a symbol of what has happened to our people historically.
"Rodney King is only a symbol of a million other black men that have been beaten -- brutalized by the police -- who didn't have what we thought was the benefit of having it on videotape. Rodney King is only a symbol of a criminal justice system that leaves 25 percent of {young} African men in this country in prison or under court supervision."
When America saw young people rampaging on the streets of Los Angeles, and buildings ablaze, and white men being dragged from their vehicles and beaten, didn't that only reinforce the presumed attitude of the Simi Valley jury -- thank God for the police, the thin blue line that protects us and our property from those violent criminals?
"Black people from the underclass and the so-called lower class do not respect the institutions of white America," Souljah replied. "Which is why you can cart out as many black people on television as you want to tell {them} that was stupid. But they don't care what you say. You don't care about their lives, haven't added anything to the quality of their lives. And then {you} expect them to respond to your opinions, which mean absolutely nothing? Why would they?"
But the people perpetrating that violence, did they think it was wise? Was that wise, reasoned action?
And this is when she said, "Yeah, it was wise. I mean, if black people kill black people every day, why not have a week and kill white people? You understand what I'm saying?"
But what's the wisdom in it, the sense in it?
"It's rebellion, it's revenge. You ever heard of Hammurabi's Code? Eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth? It's revenge. I mean, that seems so simple. I don't even understand why anybody would ask me that question. You take something from me, I take something from you. You cut me, I cut you. You shoot me, I shoot you. You kill my mother, I kill your mother."
And the individuals don't matter?
"What individuals? If you killed my mother, that mattered to me. That's why I killed yours. How could the individuals not matter? You mean the white individuals, do they matter? Not if the black ones don't," she said. "Absolutely not. Why would they? If my child dies, your child dies. If my house burns down, your house burns down. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. That's what they believe. And I see why."
The temperature of the conversation was rising. Souljah was asked if her endorsement of revenge -- "Revenge is acceptable, yes" -- was outweighed by any sort of transcendent respect for human life.
"Am I human?" she said sharply. "Do they kill us? Do they kill us and beat us? Police. Did they kill Latasha Harlins, did the Koreans kill her? They killed her, and they were convicted of the crime. They did not one day in jail. The Korean woman did not one day in jail."
Grocer Soon Ja Du was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the 1991 shooting of teenager Latasha Harlins in a dispute over a bottle of orange juice. She was sentenced to probation, a fine and community service. That shooting, like the King beating, was captured on videotape, by a store security camera, though much of America didn't see it until after the riots.
But did all the Korean merchants in Los Angeles kill that girl?
"No, but guess what? Then the Koreans, if they don't want to be lumped in the same pot, they should have condemned and moved to prosecute that woman. And shown that they gave a damn about African life. But when they didn't, they verified that that was okay, and brought on themselves that which they received."
Would, then, any degree of "revenge" have been morally acceptable to Sister Souljah?
"This is my statement: I don't think that anything we can do to white people could ever even equal up to what they've done to us. I really don't," she said. To her, apparently, racism is original sin. White people are born guilty. And there's no Redeemer.
"Will I condemn the people for what they did in Los Angeles? No, I don't condemn them for that," she said. "In the real world, black people die on a daily basis. Always rooted in the hands of white supremacy. That's what I know."
The discussion came to an end when Souljah refused to address a hypothetical question: "Had you been there at the time, would you have struck a match?"
London Guardian: Public Loses Faith In Climate Change
Scientist admits climate errors were 'embarrassing'
By Juliette Jowit~London Guardian
Public conviction about the threat of climate change has declined sharply after months of questions over the science and growing disillusionment with government action, a leading British poll has found.
The proportion of adults who believe climate change is "definitely" a reality dropped by 30% over the last year, from 44% to 31%, in the latest survey by Ipsos Mori.
Overall around nine out of 10 people questioned still appear to accept some degree of global warming. But the steep drop in those without doubts will raise fears that it will be harder to persuade the public to support actions to curb the problem, particularly higher prices for energy and other goods.
The true level of doubt is also probably underestimated because the poll only questioned 16 to 64-year-olds. People over 65 are more likely to be sceptical, the researchers said.

"Climate Change" IS A Conspiracy Theory - The Plantation Tries To Replace Truth With "Consensus"
I, for one, genuinely wish that the climate crisis were an illusion. But unfortunately, the reality of the danger we are courting has not been changed by the discovery of at least two mistakes in the thousands of pages of careful scientific work over the last 22 years by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In fact, the crisis is still growing because we are continuing to dump 90 million tons of global-warming pollution every 24 hours into the atmosphere — as if it were an open sewer.
It is true that the climate panel published a flawed overestimate of the melting rate of debris-covered glaciers in the Himalayas, and used information about the Netherlands provided to it by the government, which was later found to be partly inaccurate. In addition, e-mail messages stolen from the University of East Anglia in Britain showed that scientists besieged by an onslaught of hostile, make-work demands from climate skeptics may not have adequately followed the requirements of the British freedom of information law.
But the scientific enterprise will never be completely free of mistakes. What is important is that the overwhelming consensus on global warming remains unchanged. It is also worth noting that the panel's scientists — acting in good faith on the best information then available to them — probably underestimated the range of sea-level rise in this century, the speed with which the Arctic ice cap is disappearing and the speed with which some of the large glacial flows in Antarctica and Greenland are melting and racing to the sea.
For Those That Need A "Study" To Tell Them To Not Eat Cloned Animals
The safety of meat and milk from clones is unproven. The FDA approved food from cloned cows, pigs and goats after reviewing very few and small studies. The largest study (on cloned cows' milk) used only 15 animals but found significant differences in cloned animals' milk. Get in on the Debate! Sound off! Share your opinions about the safety of meat from cloned animals in the comments section below.
Only one study assessed the toxicity of cloned products: Twenty rats ate meat and milk from clones for 14 weeks. The rats had significant immune-system changes.
Most beef studies found differences in clones' meat composition; both pork studies found significant differences. These small sample sizes would not be adequate to assess a new drug; they cannot assure the safety of meat or milk from clones.
Nevertheless, at the end of the Bush administration, the FDA hurriedly approved clones. Most clones die before birth or in the first few weeks of life. Cattle clones often suffer "large-offspring" syndrome, wherein the fetus grows twice as large as normal, sometimes causing death for both the cow and calf.
The surviving calves are often sicker than ordinary calves. Some studies found that defects in clones could pass down to offspring. The data on cloned pigs' offspring display troubling findings: smaller litters, slower growth, 25 percent of progeny dying, and an abnormality rate two-and-a-half times that of normal pigs.

Conspicuous Consumption
Research has shown that all meat eaters have worms and a high incidence of parasites in their intestines. This is hardly surprising given the fact that dead flesh (cadaver) is a favorite target for microorganisms of all sorts. A 1996 study by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) showed that nearly 80 percent of ground beef is contaminated with disease-causing microbes. The primary source of these bugs is feces.
A study conducted by the University of Arizona found there are more fecal bacteria in the average kitchen sink than in the average toilet bowl.
This would make eating your food on the toilet seat safer than eating it in the kitchen. The source of this biohazard at home is the meat you buy at the typical grocery store.

More Parents Resist Vaccinations - Docs Must Allay Vaccine Worries With Education, "Experts" Say
By COURTNEY HUTCHISON
March 1, 2010—
Nearly 90 percent of parents vaccinate their children as medically advised, but more than half still express concern over the safety of the vaccines, a survey from the University of Michigan found.
For Virginia Anderson, mother of two from Hendersonville, N.C., the number and frequency of vaccinations given to her children was a bit overwhelming when she first became a mother.
"I was concerned that too many shots were given at the same time and I wouldn't know what side effects I was witnessing," she said. "As a first-time mom, [it's scary] when your child wakes up with a 102 fever and you're not sure what it's from."
But fortunately, Anderson said, her pediatrician made the process more comfortable by openly discussing side effects, risks, and benefits, and helping her to decide which vaccines made sense for her kids.
"He never made me feel like I have to do [every vaccine] or that I shouldn't be concerned about it, but he made me realize where the benefit outweighed the risk," Anderson said.
Amy Carson, co-founder of Mothers Against Mercury, believes vaccines should be given with as much supplemental material about risks, ingredients and side effects as is currently provided for prescription drugs.
"With vaccines, we go to the doctor's office and ... don't know what's in it and what we're being given," she said, even though "it is one of the only drugs you have to sign a consent form to receive."

The Usual Suspects ...
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.
You wanna go where people know,
people are all the same,
You wanna go where everybody knows
your name.

Meme vs Counter Meme
conspicuous consumption is a core symptom of dopamine hegemony...,
dopamine hegemony is the antithesis of Black supremacy
the antithesis of Black supremacy is pure deviltry
here's a symptom of Black supremacy
imitation highest form of flattery
conspicuous Blackness?
accept no substitutes...,
What consumption is more conspicuous than obesity?
I can agree with the comparison DV except for a couple of qualifiers. One is that the wholesome variety of foods that you justly advocate for are quite expensive.
Not by just a few cents or even one or two dollars. The other is that physical fitness requires a fair degree of leisure. Again a class dependent feature. A striking experience for me was to go back to the hood and see guys my age who were physical hegemons in their youth until they got full-time employment and families.
Denmark Vesey said ...
Yes. Wholesome, natural foods are expensive.
But they are cheaper than cancer.
CNu said ...
The only location in metro KC carrying Chia seeds, for example, is waaaaaay out of the hood and wants $23/lb for those joints...,
Denmark Vesey said ...
How much does a month's supply of the leading diabetes drug Avandia costs?
It was just linked to heart attack deaths. What does that really cost ... per pound?
Submariner said...
A striking experience for me was to go back to the hood and see guys my age who were physical hegemons in their youth until they got full-time employment and families.
Denmark Vesey said ...
Nah Bra Sub. Employment and families did not reduce the physical hegemons of your youth to the physical disappoints of your present. Their Plantation Diets inevitably caught up with them. Just like factory farmed herds of cows, hogs, chickens and now fish are fed a diet they cannot digest ... the Plantation feeds, what is in their institutionalized mind, herds of peasants a diet they cannot digest.
Which is the essence of my of my thesis.
Eating cloned meat IS unsustainable.
Eating Genetically Modified Food IS unsustainable.
Diabetes IS unsustainable.
Half the population on prescription drugs IS unsustainable.
A vaccine full of toxins for every microbe du jour IS unsustainable.
Normalizing homosexuality IS unsustainable.
Outsourcing US Foreign Policy to Israel IS unsustainable.
A man without a woman IS unsustainable.
A man without a pistol is unsustainable.
Man without God is unsustainable.
All things considered Benzes, Brioni and few rounds of golf in the Caribbean are quite reasonable.

The Blackest Lunch On The Planet - Raw Brownies
Breakfast of The Blackest
The Good Ol' Days
INTERIOR DAY The house is quiet. Which is strange. But if aint broke, don't fix it. I'm stretched out on the couch watching Tiger trying to sink a 20 footer on the 17th hole. Wife at Trader Joes. Kids upstairs reading. All is well in the world. Peace. Until ...
Piercing blood curdling scream from the kids bathroom. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! DAAAAA DEEEEEEEEEEE!! DAAAAA DEEEEE!!!! Oh God. That's Snack. Did she slip on the tile floor? Is she hurt bad? Oh God, my baby aint up there bleeding is she? I told her brothers to dry the floor when they got out the shower. Damn! Man, she better not be hurt.
I hit the steps running. Boom. Boom. Boom. I'm at the top.
"DAAAAA DEEEEEEEEEEE!! DAAAAA DEEEEE!!!!" I'm here baby. I'm here!
I burst into the bathroom. Baby girl is standing in the middle of the bathroom floor ballin' like she's been shot. Her green and yellow Gymboree pants are gathered around her ankles.
What's the matter baby!
"Ughh Ughh Ughh ... Da Da Daaaaaa Deeeee!!! My brothers put something on the toilet seat!!"
"My brothers put something ... nasty ... on the toilet seat!!"
She turns around revealing a heart shaped circle of white shaving cream framing her butt. It looks like a halo.
I try not to laugh as I get into drill sergeant mode.
Who did that!
I march into her brothers room. Big brother sits on his bed pretending to read. His head is down and he is laughing so hard his shoulders shake. Little brother is stares up at me like he has no idea what I'm talking about. In his hand is a tall can of Gillette Foamy Shaving Cream. The cap is off and white foam is all over his clothes. There is more evidence linking him to this crime than was in OJ's Bronco.
Trying to sound like Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction -
"I'm gonna say this once. Who... Put... ShavingCreamOn TheToiletSeat?!"
Little brother looks at me like I asked him who shot JR Ewing. He has no clue what I'm talking about. Big brother is trying not to laugh so hard tears are streamingdown his face. Little sister stands behind me with her lips poked out. "Give him a beatin' Daddy!"
Little Brother shouts "I aint do nothin' to you!"
What he says is so preposterous, even he had to laugh.
"Aight. Look. Since you think I'm crazy. I'm going upstairs. I'm getting all of my belts! If by the time I get back, that mess is not cleaned up, that shaving cream not wiped off your sisters ass and the bathroom is not cleaned up before Mommy gets home, I'm going to start swinging and I don't care who I hit!"
I walk out of the room, put my hand over my face and collapse against the wall quietly cracking up.
Snack comes out the room.
"Don't cry Daddy. I'm a be alright."
Estrogen In Pollution Causing Fish To Turn Gay • Does This Explain GMO Eatin' Negros With Tits, Poked Out Lips & Child Bearing Hips?
A third of male fish in English rivers are changing sex due to 'gender-bending' pollution, alarming research shows.
Experts say female hormones from the contraceptive pill and HRT are being washed into our rivers and causing male fish to produce eggs.
The problem - which is country-wide - has raised fears that the pollutants could also be contaminating our drinking water - and even be affecting the fertility of men.
The Environment Agency study looked at the health of more than 1600 roach found in 51 rivers and streams around the country.
Overall, a third of the male fish were between sexes. However, in one waterway, near a particularly heavy discharge of treated sewage more than 80 per cent had female characteristics.
Tests showed the males developed female sex organs and were producing eggs. Such fish also produce less sperm and the sperm that is produced is of low quality. Females may also be affected, producing abnormal eggs.
Previous studies have that cod, trout and flounders are all being feminised.
Researcher Professor Charles Tyler said that the fish are swimming in a soup of oestrogen-like compounds, found in the Pill and in HRT.

Super Six
Caprock 63
Canyon 61 (2 OT)
In a game whose numbers resembled a video game, the two teams combined for 1,225 yards in a District 3-4A offensive battle. Caprock took the lead in the second overtime on a 9-yard scoring pass from Michael Guerrero to Conner Hollabaugh, then Guerrero threw a two-point conversion pass to Gerardo Arevalo for an eight-point lead. That proved big, as Canyon quarterback Travis Cosby scored on a 1-yard run on the next possession but was stopped on the two-point conversion run. Guerrero threw for 479 yards and five touchdowns and ran for another score. Cosby carried Canyon by running for 203 yards and five touchdowns and throwing for 278 yards and four touchdowns.
Hereford 16
Plainview 15
This 3-4A game wasn't nearly as wild as Caprock-Canyon, but nonetheless came down to stopping a two-point conversion. Plainview's Shirmar Jennings scored on an 11-yard run and the Bulldogs instead opted to go for two points and the win. However, Hereford's Nathan Rhodes intercepted the pass to preserve the win. The Whitefaces are 2-3 in district and in the hunt for a playoff spot.
Childress 34
Lubbock Roosevelt 28
Childress had to hold off a late charge to beat Roosevelt in a District 1-2A Division I road game. Dontre Harris threw two touchdown passes and had 101 yards on 19 carries for Childress. Roosevelt's Levi Sherrill had 10 catches for 169 yards and two touchdowns.
Muleshoe 49
Littlefield 42
Muleshoe's offense continued to stay in high gear, and the Mules needed every bit of it to beat Littlefield and claim sole possession of the 1-2A Division I lead. Muleshoe's Beau Avila threw for 258 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 169 yards.
Booker 20
White Deer 19
Booker won the District 1-1A Division II opener to improve to 8-0. Freshman quarterback Hunter Lile led a comeback from a 19-6 deficit, throwing two touchdown passes and running for a third, then running for a two-point conversion for the win.
Gruver 16
Vega 13
In another close 1-1A Division I opener, Gruver pulled out the victory when Lupe Pena kicked a field goal in the fourth quarter. It was a defensive struggle, as both teams barely made it past the 200-yard mark in total offense.
Quick Hits
■ 3-4A showdown set: The much-anticipated showdown between unbeatens in District 3-4A will come to fruition Friday when Randall and Frenship, both of whom have clinched playoff berths and are 8-0 overall and 5-0 in district, meet in Wolfforth's Peoples Bank Stadium. Randall clinched that possibility by beating Dumas 35-14, thanks in large part to four interceptions. One night earlier, Frenship stayed unbeaten by beating Palo Duro, 61-35, at Dick Bivins Stadium.
■ Four still perfect: All four Panhandle teams that were unbeaten entering this weekend stayed that way. Randall, Booker, Sunray and Wellington won to keep their records spotless. While Booker squeaked past White Deer, Sunray beat West Texas High, 28-13, and Wellington crushed Claude, 61-13.
■ Farwell spreads wealth: Farwell beat Nazareth, 41-6, to clinch a playoff berth out of District 3-1A Division II. Several players got involved for the Steers as five players scored touchdowns. Kolten Morris had two scores, opening the scoring with a 29-yard run and closing it with a 50-yard punt return.
■ Dalhart gets it done early: One huge quarter did the trick for Dalhart in a 36-10 District 1-3A opening win against Perryton. The Golden Wolves scored 29 points in the second quarter, representing the most points scored by any 11-man team in a quarter Friday. All of Dalhart's points were in the first half.
■ One dimension, but it's strong: Amarillo High showed an offensive imbalance against Lubbock Monterey, but it paid off in a 42-21 win. The Sandies ran for 423 yards (the most of any Panhandle team this week) and threw for only 30. It's easy to know what to look for in their game next week against Tascosa.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Dec. 19, 2013
A grant from the Eden Hall Foundation will make it possible for Saint Vincent College to provide scholarships for rising high school juniors and seniors with learning differences from southwestern Pennsylvania to attend a new three-week summer program designed to prepare them for college enrollment. The program, to be offered in conjunction with Landmark College of Putney, Vt., will enroll 30 students who learn differently, in classes that are specially designed to provide college readiness. Saint Vincent College partnered with Landmark College for this program due to Landmark's exceptional reputation in the field. At its founding, Landmark was the first institution of higher learning to pioneer college-level studies for students with dyslexia. Today Landmark College, offering fully-accredited two and four-year degree options, a graduate level certificate in universal design with technology integration and summer programs for students who learn differently, is a global leader in integrated teaching methods for students with dyslexia and other learning disabilities, ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders [ASD]. "We are grateful to the Eden Hall Foundation for this generous grant and look forward to our partnership with Landmark College in this unique program," commented Br. Norman W. Hipps, O.S.B., president of Saint Vincent. "We know that not everyone learns the same way," commented Sandy Quinlivan, associate dean of studies at Saint Vincent. "Our experience with young people who learn differently suggests that good insight into one's individual learning style can make a big difference in outcomes in school." "No short summer program can possibly solve all the difficulties students with learning differences encounter," Quinlivan continued. "But over the past dozen years, Landmark College's summer program has given participants a taste of college and an opportunity to be part of a learning community dedicated to academic achievement, mutual respect and personal change and growth." Students enrolled in the program can expect to begin to understand their individual learning differences, to develop a writing process that uses proven techniques to write faster, more clearly and with fewer struggles, to integrate strategies and practices into content courses and to begin to focus on the development of better daily habits. Instruction will be provided by faculty from both Saint Vincent College and Landmark College. The first year of the three-year program at Saint Vincent will be held from Sunday, June 29, to Saturday, July 19. Saint Vincent is the only college that Landmark will partner with this summer. Further details about the program and the application process are available by contacting Quinlivan at email@example.com or 724-805-2371.

The Hekarans were a humanoid civilization native to planet Hekaras II, and members of the Federation.
In the late 2360s, Hekaran scientists Serova and Rabal discovered that the region of space near their planet known as the Hekaras Corridor was very susceptible to warp field effects. They approached the Federation Council with their concerns about the damage caused by warp travel through it. They further tried to persuade the council and their own people to avoid the use of warp travel in the area, even though it would mean the almost total isolation of their planet. When their theories were dismissed, the two scientists first mined the corridor with buoys that generated verteron pulses in order to gain Starfleet's attention. When this method appeared to have unsatisfactory results, Serova, in 2370, caused a warp core breach on her ship, killing herself, but creating a subspace rupture in the Hekaras corridor and making it unsuitable for warp travel. Following the incident, the scientists' theories were taken seriously. Unfortunately, due to the gravitational shifts following the formation of the rift, the climate of Hekaras II began to change. As a short-term measure, Starfleet was able to assist the Hekarans with a weather control matrix. (TNG: "Force of Nature")

Google puts $10 mln into new geothermal technology
LOS ANGELES, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Google Inc on Tuesday said it would invest more than $10 million in an emerging geothermal energy technology as part of its effort to lower the cost of electricity from renewable sources.Google's philanthropic arm, Google.org, said the investment would go toward enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), a technology that circulates water through hot rocks in the ground, producing steam to power a turbine.Conventional geothermal technology relies on finding naturally occurring pockets of steam and hot water below the Earth's surface."This is an exciting new approach to geothermal that could meet thousands of times U.S. energy needs," Dan Reicher, head of climate and energy initiatives for Google.org, said in an interview. "It's 24-7, it's potentially developable all over the country ... and for all that we really do think it could be the 'killer app' of the energy world.""Killer app" is a tech term used to describe revolutionary software.Geothermal technology is a good complement to solar and wind farms, Reicher said, because their electricity output is intermittent.Google's investment includes $6.25 million for Sausalito, California-based EGS company AltaRock Energy Inc, part of a $26.25 million round of funding AltaRock announced on Tuesday. Other investors include Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) co-founder Paul Allen's investment firm, Vulcan Capital, and Silicon Valley venture capital firms Khosla Ventures, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Advanced Technology Ventures.Google will also invest $4 million in Potter Drilling Inc, a Redwood City, California-based company that is developing deep hard rock drilling technology for use with EGS.The company also announced a $489,521 grant for Southern Methodist University's Geothermal Lab to update geothermal mapping of North America.Last year, Google said it plans to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to help drive the cost of electricity made from renewable sources below the price of power generated from dirty coal-fired plants.The company is focusing its efforts on three technologies: solar thermal, advanced wind, and EGS. It has previously invested in Pasadena, California-based solar thermal company eSolar Inc and Alameda, California-based high-altitude wind company Makani Power Inc.Google is also interested in investing in electricity transmission and distribution, Reicher said.

With the weak economy and everyone feeling like their job, if they still have one, is in peril, people are trying to add to their skill set and make themselves a more productive and valuable employee. They're augmenting themselves, not their résumé [3]. If you're one of these people, you've probably considered taking some courses or preparing for exams so you can get additional certifications. If you've done a little bit of research about self-paced computer training software packages, you've probably come to the same conclusion as I did – there are two very separate and specific "types" of self-paced learning packages and each one is designed to fulfill a very different need.
I separate the world of computer training software packages into two camps:
- Basic Skills Learning: Basics skills learning refers to educational software packages that teach you how to do "basic" skills that are applicable to almost any role you may have. The prime example is Video Professor, which is good at teaching the basic computer skills like how to use Excel and Word and Quickbooks.
- Domain-specific Skills Learning: Domain-specific skills learning refers to educational software packages that teach you a specific skill with the goal of passing a certification or exam, such as the 642-901 Cisco BSCI exam or the Microsoft 70-640 Exam (TS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory).
Depending on your role in your organization, one type is better for you than another. If you're an IT professional looking to add to your list of certifications, TrainSignal is a better option because the courses will give you the knowledge you need to pass certification exams. If you're an accountant who works with but is unfamiliar with Quickbooks, the Video Professor course is going to be better for you because it'll walk you through Quickbooks at a higher level. There are domain-specific skills learning products in topics such as Microsoft Excel and Word, but they may be too detailed and too comprehensive for you. You have to be the final judge of what's right for you.
Train Signal
TrainSignal [4] is a company that offers nearly fifty different computer learning packages, from Cisco to CompTIA to Microsoft to VMware. If you think getting the 640-801 CCNA (Certified Network Associate Routing & Switching) certification would help your career, they have a 2-CD, 13 hour course for the Cisco 640-801 CCNA course [5] for that, which includes a Transcender [6] practice exam (normally $159 from Transcender). The course is less than $300, a fraction of the cost of classroom instruction, and you get the 13 hours as videos (including an iPod video version), audio, and PDF instructor notes so you can "train" it anywhere.
When I went to San Francisco last month, I met Scott Skinger, founder and one of the instructors at TrainSignal. He is a really friendly guy and I was glad to have met him because it put a face to what I thought was an already impressive company. What I didn't know was the depth of his technical expertise, which is one of the most credible things about TrainSignal. If you look at Trainsignal's instructors [7], they're all domain practitioners. They have the certifications they're teaching and real life experience in the industry.
Finally, they offer an amazingly long 90-day guarantee on their products (not a 30 day or a 60 day, a 90 day guarantee). That's enough time for you to watch the videos a dozen times. I believe that any information product you buy online must come with a guarantee.
Video Professor
Video Professor [8] is a company you've probably seen advertising a lot on television and elsewhere. They offer basic skills training packages that teach you how to use products like Microsoft Excel or Word or give you an overview of certain concepts like how to use eBay and navigating the Internet. There's not much more to their programs to be honest, it's just basic computer skills type of stuff. One warning, need to be careful about the "free" products they send. Their model is based on offering you a free product and then signing you up to a subscription of future learning software packages. You are certainly welcome to cancel after you receive the lessons, you just need to call them and then send back one of the CDs, but I've never used them so I can't vouch for how easy that is..
As you can see, the two different companies cater to two totally different types of person. The domain-specific skills learning software product is meant for someone seeking to pass a certification or, at a minimum, add to their skill set as it pertains to a very specific function. The basic skills learning products are more for casual persons who are looking to augment some basic skills they already have.
