Killer Mike Says T.I. Is 'Sorry' He's Locked Up
Rapper T.I. has been quietly serving his one-year sentence in federal prison, but according to Grand Hustle artist Killer Mike, he carries guilt for not being around to lend physical support to his team.
Mike, who is gearing up for the release of his album 'PL3DGE,' revealed that Tip attempted to tie up all loose business ends before beginning his sentence last year, including his feature on the album's lead single, 'Ready Set Go.'
"I needed him to shoot the video before he went to jail and instead of spending that night before he went to jail with his family, he spent it shooting a video with me," Mike told MTV News. "So, if that's any expression to how dedicated he is on helping see the artists on Grand Hustle– or associated with Grand Hustle — win then that's it."
Since he has been locked up T.I. has done what he can to advise Mike, but expressed guilt for not being able to physically help promote his record. Referencing one email correspondence in particular, Mike was nearly brought to tears by Tip's dedication to his business.
"It almost brought a tear to my eye, because when Tip hit back, the only thing he could say was that he was sorry that he's not out to help promote [the album] and push it and [that] he loves the fact that I'm finally gettin' the look I deserve and how's [Grand Hustle artist Young] Dro," he continued. "It's just like, you're in prison and you care more about how our tour is doin' and our songs than us feeling bad about you being in prison."
Despite his back-to-back sentences and admission that he is addicted to drugs, Mike hopes that T.I.'s latest predicament does not diminish his character. "I know the public perceives him one way, but you just don't meet human beings who are able to surpass where they are physically in their space and care more about the happenings of other people, and him feeling bad that his incarceration is adversely affecting us, he's an amazing man for that."
Last November, T.I., born Clifford Harris Jr., began serving his 11-month sentence at the same Arkansas prison he was released from in 2009. He was busted on parole violation charges after he was found to be under the influence of ecstasy following a traffic stop in Los Angeles. He is expected to be release Sept. 29.

Scott, Andrew (2007) The same river twice? Jameel v. Wall Street Journal Europe. Communications Law, 12 (2). pp. 52-59. ISSN 1746-7616
Examines the House of Lords rulings in Reynolds v Times Newspapers Ltd and Jameel v Wall Street Journal Europe SPRL (No.3) on whether the qualified privilege defence to libel applied to the publication by newspapers of information on matters of public concern. Considers the impact of the Reynolds ruling, arguing that the tests for the defence of qualified privilege developed in the case have led to uncertainties on key questions. Discusses the response of the House of Lords in the Jameel case to criticisms of the operation of the Reynolds defence.

The next ten "Tip of the Day"s are being taken from an article by Dr. Bob Rotella for Golf Digest, titled "Inside the Golfer's Mind." We're paraphrasing, changing the language a little, and condensing his typical three to four paragraphs into one or two. This is tip five of ten: play in the now.
Really, this tip is very much like some of the others available in this same series of articles. Dr. Bob needed ten tips, bydoggit, and he was gonna get 'em, even if meant repeating the same thing five or six times. What useful tidbits can we glean from this rehashing?
- Don't let play dictate your attitude. Go with the flow when it's going well, but control yourself when you're playing poorly.
- "I came to the 16th thinking 'this is a birdie hole'" is an example of getting ahead of yourself. Hit your tee shot first, then your approach, and then worry about making a putt.
- Hit it and find it. Repeat as necessary.
- Improving your mind game can instantly take 5-10 strokes off of your average score.
- Don't keep a running tally of your score. It makes you think of things outside of the "now," the "present," and "the next shot."
When you run out of holes, you run out of holes. Hit it and find it. When Dr. Bob runs out of ideas, well, he copies other ones, but that's ok. Tomorrow's tip is different. Kinda. Okay, barely.

Local response to Boston bombings: increased patrols
Published: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 9:22 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 4:28 p.m.
Response from local law enforcement agencies to Monday's bombings at the Boston Marathon was relatively muted Tuesday, with just the Gainesville Police Department taking any special precautions.
Municipal buildings, hospitals, Gainesville Regional Utilities and similar facilities were under increased patrol by GPD, said Officer Ben Tobias, the department's spokesman.
"We are increasing patrols and getting out on foot looking for anything suspicious," Tobias said. "In the wake of something like this, we don't want to have someone take advantage of us. We want to make sure we are ready for anything."
Two bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon exploded Monday afternoon, killing three and injuring at least 170 runners and bystanders. Several North Central Florida residents ran the marathon.
Art Forgey, spokesman for the Alachua County Sheriff's Office, said the Sheriff's Office has not increased patrols or taken any precautionary measures.
The University of Florida Police Department also is not taking any precautionary measures at campus buildings or during events such as performances and sports events.
"There has not been anything at this point in time that has been initiated. We are always reviewing our current operational plans," UPD Maj. Brad Barber said. "At present, we have a very robust operational plan for any event that takes place on campus."
UF bans items such as large bags, fireworks and noisemakers such as air horns from sporting events. Police are at the gates to check bags and to look for other contraband.
Many of the UPD procedures were begun after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, in New York and Washington, D.C.
Meanwhile, Gainesville Regional Airport spokeswoman Laura Aguiar said she is not aware of any security changes as a result of the Boston bombings.
"Of course, we remain concerned with everybody else about the event, but right now there are no changes at Gainesville Regional Airport regarding security," Aguiar said.

If you do go to Madrid, visit the Prado museum! It is a great collection, especially their large El Greco room. I didn't give it enough time because I had to make it over to the bullfight in time across town, but the time I did spend there was great. It is free on Sunday, but get there EARLY to line up to get your free ticket! Also the Reina Sofia museum was nice which I saw the next afternoon. It has Picasso's Guernica, along with some interesting studies that he had done for the piece, so those were nice to see. Other than that, it's mostly modern art that I don't find very interesting...
Here are some other pictures from Madrid taken in Retiro Park, which was really nice. Nothing like that where I live, that's for sure! I could have spent the whole afternoon there, just lazying away the day...
And inside the Atocha train station headed to Barcelona, I got to wait in a nice botanical garden in the center of the station!

Unlike MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and CNN's Rick Sanchez who are disgracefully claiming Saturday's murder of three Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, police officers was caused by Fox News's Glenn Beck, the Washington Post surprisingly added some much-needed sanity to the debate Wednesday.
Practically mimicking Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign theme, the Post stated what should be obvious to all rational beings on the planet: It's the Economy, Stupid!
You mean it's NOT because conservative talkers don't agree with the policies of President Obama (see related NewsBusters posts here and here)?
Apparently not according to the Post (file photo):
The carnage that occurred during less than 48 hours last week capped a recent string of unusually brazen mass killings, which crime experts say have touched more people and occurred in more public settings than in any time in recent memory. Comparative statistics are difficult to come by, but during the past month alone, at least eight mass homicides in this country have claimed the lives of 57 people. Just yesterday, four people were discovered shot to death in a modest wood-frame home in a remote Alabama town.
The factor underlying the violence, some experts think, is the dismal state of the nation's economy. Criminologists theorize that the epidemic of layoffs, the meltdown of storied American corporations and the uncertainty of recovery have stoked fear, anxiety and desperation across society and unnerved its most vulnerable and dangerous.
Hmmm. You mean someone's personal finances might lead him or her to violence? Nooooo:
The simple fact, criminologist James Alan Fox said, is that more Americans are struggling.
"The American dream to them is a nightmare, and the land of opportunity is but a cruel joke," said Fox, also of Northeastern, who has been dubbed the "dean of death" for his analysis of mass murders. "The economic pie is shrinking to the point where it looks more like a Pop Tart and some feel all they're getting is the crumbs. There's a combination of feeling despair and hopelessness at the same time as a certain degree of anger and blame."
And, what folks like Olbermann and Sanchez don't want to share with their viewers is that most of these acts are typically revenge oriented:
Experts agree that most mass murderers share one trait: a traumatic event such as a layoff, divorce or separation that sets off an internal rage and a desire for revenge.
"It could be the loss of a job, the loss of a lot of money in the stock market, the loss of a relationship as in a nasty separation or divorce, the loss of a child who is in a child custody battle," [said Jack Levin, a noted criminologist at Northeastern University who has authored or co-authored eight books on mass murder]. "There are just simply more catastrophic losses than there were when the economy was in good shape."
Hmmm. Didn't the Pittsburgh police killer Richard Poplawski recently lose his job? And didn't he just have a fight with his mother who called the cops to have him removed from HER apartment? And wasn't this an extremely paranoid and unstable person who got kicked out of the Marines for throwing a food tray at his drill sergeant?
Yeah, but none of that matters as much as him recently posting at a white supremacist website a video of Glenn Beck discussing FEMA camps with Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tx.).
Somehow the Post skipped that integral part of the equation.
Shame on them for not being able to connect the dots like Olbermann and Sanchez.

Escarole with Toasted Garlic
The magic in this dish comes from perfectly toasted garlic. To achieve this gorgeous golden hue -- and avoid bitter burned garlic -- be patient.
- Servings: 4
Source: Body+Soul, March 2010
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
- 1 large head escarole, cut into 1-inch- wide ribbons (10 cups)
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup chicken stock (optional)
- Lemon juice or wedges
Combine olive oil and garlic in a large skillet. Set over medium-low heat and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 6 minutes.
Remove garlic slices as they turn golden (they won't all brown at once) with a fork and drain on paper towels, leaving oil in pan.
Increase heat to high, add escarole, and season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat. Add stock. Cook until wilted.
Season with lemon juice, and drizzle with olive oil. Top with garlic chips.

I think the problem is the considerable generality
of -reshape- and -collapse-. Naturally you notice
when labels disappear and that seems unnecessary.
You would surely notice -- or not notice and be misled --
if they appeared and did not apply. I think it is
a super-hard programming problem to be clear exactly
when to do one thing and when the other. That's what
I recall dimly from previous discussions of this
A similar comment applies to -stack-.

2011 was a great year for cartoonist and CCS '08 alum Joseph Lambert. His new book I Will Bite You from Secret Acres won the sacred brick Ignatz award at the Small Press Expo last September (two to be exact, for Outstanding Artist and Collection!).
I Will Bite You was featured on the Drawn Blog as one of designer and cartoonist John Martz's favorite books of 2011.
HOWEVER, January has started off with a bang. Stories from I Will Bite You are featured in the next Stripburger collection. His new graphic novel featuring not only Helen Keller but the struggles of her mentor, teacher and friend Annie Sullivan is coming out this March from Hyperion and The Center for Cartoon Studies. 2012 is going to blow 2011 out of the ink water!
Coming up at the Center for Cartoon Studies Gallery, Lambert's art will grace the wall along with cartoonist and faculty member Jon Chad, whose book Leo Geo is set to come out from Roaring Brook Press the same month as Annie Sullivan. The previews of the book are breath-taking, Lambert's already masterful handle on color guides and commands the story.
Some interiors of I Will Bite You
The Schulz Library is very happy to be a home base for Joe and looks forward to his upcoming releases. You can purchase I Will Bite You from the Secret Acres store run by Barry and Leon AND pre-order Annie Sullivan and the Trials of Helen Keller from Amazon today.

Power restored after hundreds endure humid, hot day
More than 300 out of power in Indian Wells at one point
INDIAN WELLS, Cali. - Power was restored to nearly 100 Southern California Edison customers Sunday, after spending a night without power.
The outage began around 5:15 p.m. near Desert Horizons Drive and Guadalupe, according to Edison's website.
Phyllis Connelly, who lives in Indian Wells, believes the problem is all too familiar.
"A year ago, we had this same problem with the same situation. Edison was supposed to fix the transformer and everything was supposed to be fine," Connelly said .
Connelly was one of the 337 customers initially affected by the outage on a day where the Coachella Valley saw an average high of 101 degrees.
"It's just so frustrating. As a customer of Edison, we pay so much in pricing and we get this result," Connelly said.

Is this something we should worry about?
Posted 19 December 2011 - 02:16 PM #18
thanks much faux123... your info about the kernel itself was enough to sell me. I will be upgrading to 4.03 to try out your kernel soon. do you have another update coming soon? if so i will wait for it before going to 4.03 asop.... enjoy my 4.02 only mods for another day lol
Posted 19 December 2011 - 02:18 PM #19
It seemed with the OMAP architecture, the kernel needs to be matched to the userspace side, that's why 4.0.1 kernels won't work with 4.0.2/3 system images and 4.0.3 kernels won't work with older 4.0.1/2 system images. In the download section I have specified to only 4.0.3 images. I will update my thread info/title.
Sorry to break the news to you, as cool as coolbho3k is, his patches for CPU OC and UV both have problems, I originally used his patches in my older releases I have since reverted them both.
Coolbho3k's CPU OC has issues with 1.4 GHz... I have implemented my own @ 1.35 using different settings. My teammates have tested my version and it does not have any of the slow down lag issues at the highest speed.
Coolbho3k's CPU UV has issues as well. When you undervolt below min core vdd, the Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaler (DVFS) will report error and stall thus not scaling down to lowest possible OPP state (this can be verified by all the errors in dmesg log). Once you stalled DVFS, all the benefits from Undervolt is immediately wiped out because you are stuck at a higher frequency. For now I have implemented my own undervolt which pre-UV @ -100mv across the board and again this has been tested under various conditions and it's been rock solid (no DVFS stalls).
I will address BOTH issues with my subsequent releases.
As for as 4.0.2 compatibility, Google has skipped over 4.0.2 kernel source and released the absolute latest 4.0.3 (which includes 4.0.2 updates), so unless someone point out to me the exact patches needed for 4.0.2, there's nothing I can do for it. Either update to 4.0.3 using some unofficial AOSP builds by all these wonderful ROM developers or wait for Google to update to 4.0.3 officially.

Lord Jim HTML version
Chapter 27
'Already the legend had gifted him with supernatural powers. Yes, it was said,
there had been many ropes cunningly disposed, and a strange contrivance that
turned by the efforts of many men, and each gun went up tearing slowly through
the bushes, like a wild pig rooting its way in the undergrowth, but . . . and the
wisest shook their heads. There was something occult in all this, no doubt; for
what is the strength of ropes and of men's arms? There is a rebellious soul in
things which must be overcome by powerful charms and incantations. Thus old
Sura--a very respectable householder of Patusan--with whom I had a quiet chat
one evening. However, Sura was a professional sorcerer also, who attended all
the rice sowings and reapings for miles around for the purpose of subduing the
stubborn souls of things. This occupation he seemed to think a most arduous
one, and perhaps the souls of things are more stubborn than the souls of men.
As to the simple folk of outlying villages, they believed and said (as the most
natural thing in the world) that Jim had carried the guns up the hill on his back--
two at a time.
'This would make Jim stamp his foot in vexation and exclaim with an exasperated
little laugh, "What can you do with such silly beggars? They will sit up half the
night talking bally rot, and the greater the lie the more they seem to like it." You
could trace the subtle influence of his surroundings in this irritation. It was part of
his captivity. The earnestness of his denials was amusing, and at last I said, "My
dear fellow, you don't suppose I believe this." He looked at me quite startled.
"Well, no! I suppose not," he said, and burst into a Homeric peal of laughter.
"Well, anyhow the guns were there, and went off all together at sunrise. Jove!
You should have seen the splinters fly," he cried. By his side Dain Waris,
listening with a quiet smile, dropped his eyelids and shuffled his feet a little. It
appears that the success in mounting the guns had given Jim's people such a
feeling of confidence that he ventured to leave the battery under charge of two
elderly Bugis who had seen some fighting in their day, and went to join Dain
Waris and the storming party who were concealed in the ravine. In the small
hours they began creeping up, and when two-thirds of the way up, lay in the wet
grass waiting for the appearance of the sun, which was the agreed signal. He
told me with what impatient anguishing emotion he watched the swift coming of
the dawn; how, heated with the work and the climbing, he felt the cold dew
chilling his very bones; how afraid he was he would begin to shiver and shake
like a leaf before the time came for the advance. "It was the slowest half-hour in
my life," he declared. Gradually the silent stockade came out on the sky above
him. Men scattered all down the slope were crouching amongst the dark stones
and dripping bushes. Dain Waris was lying flattened by his side. "We looked at
each other," Jim said, resting a gentle hand on his friend's shoulder. "He smiled
at me as cheery as you please, and I dared not stir my lips for fear I would break
out into a shivering fit. 'Pon my word, it's true! I had been streaming with

Peony presentation Feb. 20 at Library
Friends, all,
As I write this it is below the comfort zone outside. My paws freeze to the ground and my whiskers become icy. I am told spring is just around the corner. I have looked. It isn't.
Minnesota Legacy Foundation, dedicated to preserving Minnesota's art and cultural heritage, is offering hope in the form of a free program entitled "2013 Premier Presentation of Minnesota's Grand Peony History" presented by Harvey Buchite.
He will be at the Pine River Library at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 20.
Harvey and his wife, Brigitte, own Hidden Springs Flower Farm of southeastern Minnesota, where they specialize in growing more than 600 varieties of peonies. Harvey has served as president of the American Peony Society. He knows his peonies!
This program is not only interesting, but will help all of us here in the frozen north to remember what comes after winter. Spring and flowers!
See you soon,
Browser, the library cat

TORONTO — At this point, the hope that Andrea Bargnani would be the face of the Toronto Raptors franchise has faded away.
The first-overall draft pick in 2006, the tie to the city's European influence, the versatile offensive game: Bargnani seemed like a perfect candidate for the job. While he might develop into a more well-rounded player — all-star status is still obtainable, if unlikely, at this point — he will not be the Raptors' focal point, at least from a marketing perspective.
So DeMar DeRozan is next in line. He possesses jaw-dropping athleticism, an unassuming personality and, most importantly, endless potential.
"He's a mature young man," centre Jamaal Magloire said. "I think everybody's goal and dream is to become the best player they can be. If that comes with being the face of this franchise, then those are the cards he's been dealt."
DeRozan seems like the best in-house candidate. He is just 21, and averaged nearly 20 points per game in 26 games after the all-star break last year. He started to rebound a little bit more, his free-throw percentage shot went up and the Raptors started to depend on him a bit more in key situations.
His first task for his third year in the league is obvious, and it fits with head coach Dwane Casey's team-wide mantra: "Now he's got to turn that foot speed and quickness around and use it on the [defensive] end," Casey said.
"But he really has the ability to score. What we'd like to do is post him up some. Like Andrea, we want to move him around and put him on different positions on the floor to take advantage of his athleticism."
DeRozan averaged 17.2 points per game last year despite a fairly limited repertoire. In his second full season, DeRozan was an average to below-average dribbler and passer. He was not very good at creating offence for himself. And he had a non-existent three-point shot.
So how did he score? He became something of a young Richard Hamilton, coming off screens to take advantage of an increasingly reliable mid-range jumper. His athleticism also put him on the free-throw line, where he hit 88% of his shots from the all-star break on.
It is what he has not done that makes his potential so appetizing.
"He's been working on his threes," Casey said. DeRozan has hit just 13% of his 68 career three-point attempts. "He's got the
green light to take them in the right situation. He's been working on them. I don't know if that's his strength yet. But he's really been working hard at them and knocking them down in practice. The test will be knocking them down when the popcorn's popping."
"I'm way more comfortable with it," DeRozan said.
That covers production. But being a star in this city has long been about more than that.
Chris Bosh put up dependable, all-star worthy statistics in Toronto for seven years, but was only at times demonstrative. Some pointed to Bosh's occasional quietness for holding him back in the hearts and minds of Toronto fans. And the shy DeRozan makes Bosh look like a professional wrestler trying to enliven a crowd.
There is, however, nobody standing in the way of DeRozan trying to put his stamp on this team. The Raptors have brought in talkative veterans like Jamaal Magloire and Anthony Carter to help him along in the leadership department, but eventually that responsibility has to fall to a team's best player. Right now, DeRozan is that, or near enough.
"When I first came in, I just wanted to sit back and listen to all of the older guys," DeRozan said. "In my second year, I still sat back and listened to everybody. As time goes on and you get the understanding, you get more comfortable by speaking louder and voicing your opinion."
Wins will have a lot to do with fans in the city embracing him, too. DeRozan muttered, "Playoffs. Playoffs. Simple as that," when asked what his goal for the season would be. It is a lofty one for a team lacking much pedigree, but it is the attitude the team's players have to, and should, take.
DeRozan said he does not feel pressure to represent the franchise, only to improve. It is exactly what you would expect him to say, even if it might not reflect reality.
"It's a lot of pressure, but it's a good pressure," Casey said. "As a 21-year-old, it should be the best pressure you can have. You have to embrace it and not let it be a burden to you."

I booked ski resort accommodation through this website. It seemed convenient at first until I realised Interactive were just agents. This turned out to be a good one stop shop allowing me to browse prices from different operators and I ended up renting a chalet from Powder White Ltd. The process was simple enough and the good thing is I was able to communicate directly with the operator after I booked which was better trying to go through the man in the middle. What I liked most about this site… Read Full Review

I booked to go boarding at Val D'Isere in early February. I got a great late deal - Catered Chalet and flights - through www.catered-chalet-holidays.co.uk. The website was easy to use and really good for comparing prices week by week. I was pretty fleixble with when I was going so it meant that I was not tied down to a specific date. When I phoned the sales team to book, they were superb and found me a better deal than I had in mind. I'll definately be using them again and I would recommend… Read Full Review

text: I recently purchased a (used) 4-bulb T5 - 216 watts - for my 75 gallon (18"deep) tank. I want to keep a Sebae anemone however, I have had very controversial advice thus far on the adequacy of my lighting. Regardless, I wish to improve it without having to re-invest in an expensive setup. I am wondering if anyone here could recommend a light that I could use in addition to my current T5 setup that would allow me an additional 100 watts of output (316 watts should be plenty for anemones and coral alike??); ideally something submersible, if such a beast exist! :) I have seen plenty of decorative underwater lights, but they are not going to help suit my needs. Would be great if I could find something around $100'ish. :unsure:

Bourdy birdied the 16th, 17th and 18th at Celtic Manor to win the ISPS Handa Wales Open, finishing two shots ahead of overnight leader Peter Uihlein after the American bogeyed the final hole trying to find the birdie needed to force a play-off.
"It's one of my big goals and dreams to be in the Ryder Cup, although I didn't realise the points started this week until after my first round," Bourdy said after a closing 67 left him eight under par.
"I've been playing golf since I was three years old and it's always been my dream to win majors and be in the Ryder Cup, especially in France in 2018.
"Now I have a chance to make the next one (at Gleneagles in 2014) but there are a lot of tournaments to play. It's a great start but I will need to play very well because there are so many great players in Europe and it's going to be tough as usual to be in the team.
"I'm so happy about this and I'm going to remember for a long time this finish on this course; a lot of great moments have been here for the Ryder Cup and I was thinking about it on the 18th when I was walking on the fairway."
Bourdy earned 348,660 Ryder Cup points for his win, but based on the final 2012 standings could need around 2.5million to secure an automatic place on Paul McGinley's side.
Uihlein began the day three shots clear of Bourdy and compatriot Thomas Levet, but after a birdie at the second he pulled his tee shot into a water hazard on the third and had to hole from 30ft just to salvage a bogey.
Another bogey followed on the next and with Bourdy having already eagled the par-five second, the pair were tied on six under.
Bourdy then led by two when he birdied the 11th as Uihlein bogeyed the 10th, but Uihlein regained the upper hand when Bourdy dropped shots at the 13th and 14th, a birdie on the 15th taking the American back into the lead.
However, Bourdy then holed a curling 40ft birdie putt on the 16th and another from 12ft on the 17th to reclaim the lead, and although Uihlein responded with a lengthy birdie putt of his own on the 17th, Bourdy holed from 30ft on the 18th for good measure.
Watching from the fairway behind, Uihlein knew he now needed to match that to force a play-off, but charged his putt six feet past the hole and missed the return.
The 24-year-old - who celebrated his birthday on Thursday - still finished in outright second on six under, with Denmark's Soren Kjeldsen a shot further back after a closing 66 marred only by a bogey on the 18th.Reuse content

D'Antoni influence underpins stunning Lakers turnaround
By Mark Lamport-Stokes
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - While Mike D'Antoni is yet to take charge of his first game courtside, the Los Angeles Lakers have turned around their season in explosive fashion in the up-tempo, high-scoring style promised by their new coach.
Since D'Antoni's predecessor Mike Brown was abruptly fired on November 9, the Lakers have triumphed four times in five games, scoring more than 100 points in all four wins to bury memories of their dismal 1-4 start to the campaign.
Even more impressively, they have recorded season-high totals of 114 and 119 in their last two outings which also happened to be the first two games since D'Antoni took over Lakers practice sessions.
Bernie Bickerstaff will forever be able to boast that he guided the Los Angeles franchise to a 4-1 record as their interim coach but the D'Antoni influence has unquestionably energized the players.
"He just lets us go out there and play," five-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant told reporters about D'Antoni, who has delayed his courtside return while he recovers from knee replacement surgery.
"It's not like he has to be on top of us and stuff. He comes in before the game and tells us what we need to do, at half-time he comes in and tells us everything we need to adjust and we just go from there.
"We're just picking apart the defense," said Bryant, who recorded the 18th triple-double of his career in the Lakers' 119-108 rout of the Houston Rockets on Sunday.
"We're putting the defense in predicaments where they have to choose and we're making them pay." Continued...

When people make statements like "call 911 and let them handle it" tells me they have never been robbed! They have never had the pleasure of going through the insurance co and having their vehicle devaluated and told it was worth less than it was and then paying a large deductible on top of it. experiencing the loss of a vehicle and not being able to get your kids to school, get you to work, get your mom to the doctors.... sorry but now a day it is more than just a vehicle.... it is life Support. In Texas you can still shoot horse thieves and there is a reason for that because without transportation it might cost you your life
My truck is darn near irreplaceable, and I know the insurance company would never give me what it's really worth. One hand on my holstered gun (just in case he happened to be armed) and yell at him to get the F out of my truck.

"When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are safe." - Luke 11:21
It sounds like a parallel parking establishment so I'm going to assume that this retard would pass my truck up for an easier to get away with vehicle. Although it wouldn't be crazy to jump in the back and call 911 from the box and get some excitement. Shame to lose that coffee though.
Let em take the car, but in the process of attempting to stop or question the perp, if the perp draws a weapon, all bets are off.
I'd yell an try an get him out, an call 911 unless he has a gun than its a different story, under Georgia law it is illegal to use deadly force to defend property unless someone's life is in jeopardy.
Well, I don't see killing someone over a car unless my wife or kids are in it when he's trying to take it. Of course if my wife is in it I would expect to find a guy partially in and partially out of the car with a near .40 cal hole in his head as she is always armed with her XD .40 sub compact and she is more than ready to use it to defend her babies.
If it was just me, I'd for sure be trying to drag the dirt bag out of my vehicle and if he decided to pull some weapon, then I guess I'd have to defend myself. I've worked damned hard for what I have and I honestly do not think I could just stand there and watch some piece of garbage drive off in my property. I'm not going to just shoot him but I will for sure go hands on to get him to stop. If he doesn't and wants to escalate things, that was his decision.
Interestingly, I have had a similar situation actually happen to me. Jan 2009, at a Sam's Club gas station in Memphis. I was approached by a gang member who wanted a light. When I told him I did not smoke he cursed me and tried to get into my vehicle which I had locked upon getting out of by force of habit. I yelled at him to stop and get away, he called me some other things and reached as if for a gun behind his waist, and was greeted with a Glock pointed at his face. He decided to run as fast as his 5 sizes too big pants would allow him to run.
I called 911, while speaking to a police officer and filling out a statement, another cruiser rolled up with the moron hooked up in the rear of the car. He had dumped his gun, if he had one, but kept his bag of weed. I testified against him, he got less than 2 years.
I didn't fire only because I realized he was turning to run and I did not want to shoot him in the back. But it is the closest I have come to shooting someone outside of Military service.

Town Square
Finding Christmas Tree Lane
Original post made by Jennifer Fogliani, Whisman Station, on Dec 18, 2011
I completely understand and respect each person's decision to not put up holiday lights. But I can't help but feel a hint of sadness every time I pull up in front of our townhome at night and see our house all alone in its glowing holiday cheer.
Growing up, I always remembered how special it was to drive around our neighborhood during the holidays. Even simple trips to the supermarket were made extraordinary because along the way you got to admire homes decorated with holiday lights.
I recently discovered that certain streets in the Bay Area, such as Fulton Street in Palo Alto, are known for their holiday light displays. In fact, Fulton Street is nicknamed Christmas Tree Lane and has been known for its lighted trees and decorated houses since the 1940's.
I decided if our neighborhood wasn't going to give my children the holiday light displays I remembered from my childhood then I was going to bring my children to a neighborhood that did. We bundled up, jumped in the car and navigated our way to Christmas Tree Lane.
I could tell my husband was a little irritated that we were driving to Palo Alto just to see a street famous for wonderful holiday lights. While we sat at a red light on Middlefield, my husband pointed out a house with icicle lights and family of blinking snowman.
"That doesn't count," I said.
He grimaced and turned left.
When we finally made it to Fulton St., we were all taken back by the beautiful, twinkling displays. We noticed several families walking by the houses so we decided to park and do the same.
Christmas Tree Lane is a few blocks long - the perfect distance for 3 and 4 year old walkers. The best part was showing our children all the different ways people chose to decorate their homes. Each house brought squeals of excitement from my children, and each new squeal brought a smile to my face.
Admiring homes with holiday lights is one of the few holiday traditions that doesn't require purchasing something or getting dressed up. My children weren't asking where the presents were or whining for one more cookie. It was a simple night made extraordinary because we took the time to admire homes decorated with holiday lights. It will definitely be one of the highlights of our holiday season this year and, hopefully, for many more years to come.

Even worse, it is frowned upon to say "Merry Christmas" in public.
And that's what we get from diversity. We collectively have no culture.

There's another very pretty "holiday lane" on Estate Drive, off of Grant Rd in Los Altos near the intersection of Fremont Avenue and Grant Road. We were even treated to a group of carolers singing there one night! Merry Christmas

Car smashes in door and window at Westwood Village
A Honda driven by an older man jumped the curb and smashed into the northeast door and window of the McDonald's restaurant at Westwood Village Saturday Nov. 10. According to witnesses the driver apparently lost control of the vehicle which came over the curb and impacted the restaurant.
Chris Kallin posted on Facebook and said that, "I happened upon the scene seconds after it occurred. Everyone was more or less okay, with a couple particularly shaken, including the old man who had the accident. I feel very badly for him. You could tell he was in shock thinking about what could have happened and the reality that his independence may have come to an end. He looked broken, sitting there win his WWII vet hat. I was among several that consoled him in his grief.
Could not believe the A-holes visibly annoyed that the commotion was impeding them from the drive-thru. One guy in particular was ballistic in his pick-up. Who freakin; like McD's that much anyway. Unreal."
One person inside the restaurant suffered some minor injuries and he was treated at the scene.
The West Seattle Herald sought comment from the manager on the scene but she declined to say anything about the incident.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I've lived with my mother for all of my life. My father signed his custodial rights over to my mother when i was 2. I want to be on my own or even under a different care taker. My mother has brought guys homes and had made me do everything in the house (cleaning, feeding the kids, cleaning the kids, etc.). I am emotionally and mentally tired of the responsibilities. My mother is emotionally, mentally, and verbally abusive. I don't know what to do. Is there any way i can be on my own or decide where i want to live? what legal grounds do i stand? what can my father do?
Be very careful what you wish for because you may end up in a foster home situation. You need to talk to your family members and discuss your issues with them and see if there can be a family solution. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. They may be able to help you get her the help she needs.Ask a similar question
If you want to be on your own i.e. emancipated, the first thing you need to do is have a plan that includes how you will support yourself. If you simply want to get out of your mother's home and you would like to live with your father AND he agrees, then he can file a petition with the court and your wishes will be given great weight. Explore that option with your father first, and if that won't work, then repost for more info. Good luck!

Ripoff Report
Luci Bell345 W. Ponce de Leon Ave Decatur, Georgia USA
LuciBell, Luci Bell Boutique, MyLuciBell, Janice Grady Destroyed Artwork on Consignment Decatur Georgia
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am an Artist. I have a degree in Studio Art, and I make a (meager) living by painting and selling those paintings.
Back in early March, I heard a new boutique was opening in Decatur and looking for local artists to consign. I saw no reason not to: I'd done well with consignment before, and I had a friend who was already consigned there. In mid-March, I signed a consignment contract for 10 paintings in the care of Janice Grady, the proprietor of Luci Bell in Decatur.
6 months later (this past Thursday), after not hearing from her, I stopped in unannounced to collect my property. She tells me that she'd "just recently packed up" my paintings, and she was "just about to call" me to come pick them up. Janice goes to retrieve them, and roots around in 2-3 closets before finding and bringing them out: all 10 canvases jumbled together in a GARBAGE BAG. Angry, I left. When I got home, I went to hang them in my studio and realized they were all damaged. Some beyond repair: scratches across the face, chunks of paint gouged out, paint transfer, and two canvases are severely stretched. I decided that confronting her about this was best done face to face, with it all laid out in front of her, so she could have the opportunity to do the right thing.
In the afternoon of the next day (Friday), I pulled up to her shop with a friend who could help me stay calm (and be a witness). I made sure Janice did not have any customers that I was taking her attention away from, and then I laid it all out. Upon seeing it all, Janice candidly admitted: there was quite obviously damage caused by her, she didn't pack them properly, she shouldn't have stored them in a humid closet for "about two weeks", and that she was sorry.
Since she admitted culpability, I asked what she was going to do to make it right. She suggested that I leave them with her so she could get her brother, who "is an artist", to fix them. I explained that I didn't need her to "fix" them, and re-asked my original question. She then offered to try to touch them up herself, because she has some paint and she's pretty crafty. I pulled out our signed contract stating that she is financially responsible for all damages, up to 60% of the total value of the paintings. She did the math and didn't like the number (just over $200). She became angry and defensive. She said I was exaggerating (how can I exaggerate something in front of her?), and that one of the paintings was damaged before I brought it to her. When I presented proof (a pic on my website) that the painting was not damaged when I gave it to her, she started LITERALLY yelling at me. I remained calm.
Her final proposal was that she gives me 60% for the damages, but that she keep the paintings. I tried to explain to her: when you rent a moving truck, you assume financial responsibility for damage incurred while it's in your possession. If it becomes damaged, you owe the truck company money for damages - you do NOT get to KEEP the truck! I told her she was not keeping my paintings for anything less than 100%. She started shouting again and name-calling until a customer walked in. She was quite obviously not going to honor the contract, and I was not going to continue this in front of a customer, so I took my paintings and left.
I am a good person. I understand the difficulties of a new and struggling business. I went there to give Janice Grady the opportunity to be a good person, with the hope that she would do the right thing and honor our contract. If Janice had offered a sincere apology but explained that she couldn't afford 60%, I would have understood and worked something out with her. If she had offered me 40%, or even 30%, to show that she was a responsible business woman who honored the contracts she makes, it would have been over and done with. I deserve compensation for damage to my property, and I am legally entitled to it. However, I have since learned that I am NOT the first artist whose work she has had on consignment in her store and ruined and/or damaged, and has refused reparations.
I have both photographical (on-line) and and physical proof of damages, as well as a third party witness to the face-to-face confrontation. I would still like the monetary compensation I am owed for damages incurred, but I understand the slim liklihood of that happening. At this point, I would just like to get the word out about this woman's bad business practices and warn other artists against consigning with her in the future.

New Poll Shows Congressman Joe Walsh in Dangerous Territory
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee released a new automated poll showing Tammy Duckworth with a 10 point lead, winning 52 percent over Congressman Joe Walsh's 42 percent – dangerous territory for an incumbent. Congressman Joe Walsh's favorables are underwater with nearly half of voters holding a negative opinion of him. In contrast, Tammy Duckworth is both well known and well liked with a definite advantage in this Democratic leaning district.
"The problem Congressman Joe Walsh faces is that voters both know him and dislike him," said Haley Morris of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "While Illinois families have had enough of Congressman Walsh's dangerous uncompromising Tea Party record in Washington, they clearly favor Tammy Duckworth as the only candidate standing up for the middle class."

The Malefactor HTML version
II.4. Lady Ruth's Last Card
"There are two letters," Aynesworth announced, "which I have not opened. One, I think,
is from the Marchioness of Westhampton, the other from some solicitors at Truro. They
were both marked private."
Wingrave was at breakfast in his flat; Aynesworth had been in an adjoining room sorting
his correspondence. He accepted the two letters, and glanced them through without
remark. But whereas he bestowed scarcely a second's consideration upon the broad sheet
of white paper with the small coronet and the faint perfume of violets, the second letter
apparently caused him some annoyance. He read it through for a second time with a
slight frown upon his forehead.
"You must cancel my engagements for two days, Aynesworth," he said. "I have to go out
of town."
Aynesworth nodded.
"There's nothing very special on," he remarked. "Do you want me to go with you?"
"It is not necessary," Wingrave answered. "I am going," he added, after a moment's
pause, "to Cornwall."
Aynesworth was immediately silent. The one time when Wingrave had spoken to him as
an employer, was in answer to some question of his as to what had eventually become of
the treasures of Tredowen. He had always since scrupulously avoided the subject.
"Be so good as to look out the trains for me," Wingrave continued. "I cannot go until the
afternoon," he added after a momentary pause. "I have an engagement for luncheon.
Perhaps, if you are not too busy, you will see that Morrison packs some things for me."
He moved to the writing table, and wrote a few lines to the Marchioness, regretting that
his absence from town would prevent his dining with her on the following day. Then he
studied the money column in several newspapers for half an hour, and telephoned to his
broker. At eleven o'clock, he rode for an hour in the quietest part of the park, avoiding, so
far as possible, anyone he knew, and galloping whenever he could. It was the only form
of exercise in which he was known to indulge although the knowledge of English games,
which he sometimes displayed, was a little puzzling to some of his acquaintances. On his
return, he made a simple but correct toilet, and at half-past one he met Lady Ruth at
Prince's Restaurant.
Lady Ruth's gown of dove color, with faint touches of blue, was effective, and she knew

This is because fruit, in its natural form, contains fiber. Fructose doesn't provide a satiety alert to let your brain know to tell you to stop eating, but fiber does this to a high degree. This is why you can eat fruit—despite the fructose content—without experiencing the same problems as, say, drinking a sugary soda. This is why fruit can actually be beneficial. The same goes for processed sugar. Sugar doesn't exist naturally as sparkly white crystals, but as a really tough stick called sugar cane. It isn't until you process the sugar cane that you lose all the fiber it contains. Without the fiber, you only have the tasty but problematic part of the original food. That's why processed sugars can cause problems.


text: I just brought a 2010 WRX and I was wondering if anyone had some info I have done a lot of research and that was the first year they went to 2 pipes. The car just does not have that distinct sound. It is more of subdue sound. The car runs great and is a straight up bullet so performance is not hindered in any kind of way. I was wondering why it does not have the very loud rumble and I was hoping someone might have some answers to why and if there was a way to get that rumble. I am a very proud owner and if anyone has any advise I would appreciate it.
