"Give Me 5" for National Stroke Month
Published May 5th, 2009
Loading Video...
A stroke - it's the number three killer in America and it's estimated almost 800 000 Americans will suffer from it. The American Stroke Association wants to reduce those numbers.
The biggest misconception about strokes is that you have to be a certain age to get them, but age is not a determining factor. The month of May is National Stroke Month, TV20's Shani Muhammad shows an easy way to recognize the pre-effects of an attack.
Munroe Regional Medical Center in Ocala will host a stroke fair on May 13th.

HYDE PARK, Tuesday—As one reads the story of the imprisonment of the Primate of Hungary, Cardinal Mindszenty, one wonders why the Soviet Union allows such utterly stupid people to take control in the countries where they impose a Communist government after a political coup.
Probably the two most disciplined groups opposing each other today are the Communists and the Roman Catholics. I have no idea whether the Primate of Hungary is a Jesuit or not, but there is certainly no more spiritually disciplined person than a Jesuit priest.
Today in the countries taken over by the Communists in Europe, it would look as though the firmest resistance was being waged by the priests and laymen of the Roman Catholic Faith. In many cases, of course, the Protestant groups are very much smaller and less powerful, and it is understandable that they may be forced to make compromises.
But it is a very stupid thing for the Soviet deputies to attack a man who was the center and the symbol of resistance during the Nazi occupation. Cardinal Mindszenty helped to save many Jews, and now since the Communists have overthrown the broadly based government representing different political groups, which was first established in Hungary after the Yalta Conference, we find the Russians throwing this man of fearless actions into jail.
We find the Hungarian regime, in fact, indulging in the very things which we hoped had come to an end in Russia itself. For instance, Catholic groups were banned in July 1946. In the 1948 elections Catholics were disenfranchised, the reasons being somewhat curious. One frequently used was to declare the would-be voter insane. It may be said that anyone who dared to vote against the Communists might be considered insane.
The Cardinal's stand was taken, of course, on the right to maintain Catholic schools. This reminds me of the insistence of some of the Europeans in Committee Three (Social Council) at the recent United Nations General Assembly meetings in Paris. They stressed the importance of putting into the Bill of Human Rights a clause in the article on education stating that parents have a right to choose the type of education their children should be given. The reason the advocates of these words gave was that Hitler forced so many children to be educated in a manner that turned them against their parents and away from the beliefs, both religious and political, that the parents held.
I have no recollection that the Soviets put up any very effective fight against this clause, but in the light of what is happening in the various countries under their political and military control it is quite evident that is another of the articles which they never would be able to accept.
I have sometimes thought that during the period when a country was actually fighting for independence there might be some justification in imprisoning even a clergyman if he seemed to be taking an active political part against the government in power. That, however, is not the case in Hungary today. There is no excuse for the action that has been taken by the government and, since in Hungary the government is practically under the control of Russia, the Soviet Union cannot escape the blame.

SVT Focus Suspension upgrade (general)
This is my first post and I apologize if it's redundant as it seems like a general question but I couldn't find the answers after quite a bit of searching, likely due to my lack of knowledge regarding suspension.
I've got an 02 SVT Focus with just shy of 90k miles on it.
She runs strong, no real problems at the moment except an O2 sensor I've been putting off. But the shocks and struts are still original and tend to squeak and creek a bit. I figure they're due to be replaced.
Although I don't go out for track days, I do enjoy a spirited drive (be it a commute or weekend jaunt) and was hoping to go with something a bit stiffer/sportier than the stock setup.
What I was wondering is -
a) Strut / shock replacement recommendations
b) To achieve a real difference, do you need to change the springs as well?
c) At 90k are the springs due anyway?
d) Are coilovers the combination of a strut and spring into a single, adjustable unit? If so, is that the way to go?
e) There are kits out there that include shocks, struts and springs as well... is that the ticket?
I haven't seen this summed up, for a novice reader such as myself, in a single post before. From reading it seems like prices range from $300 - $1k.. but I'm not quite clear on that either. I'd love to keep it on the lower end of that spectrum if possible.
Many thanks in advance
Portland, OR
PS: I have noticed though that one should replace the front sway bar end links when doing this sort of thing as they tend to wear out and squeak (and one person in another forum recommended Moog over the Ford replacements)

Marriage: Away it goes
It's an amazing time in history. On the one hand, we're seeing movement on the part of same-sex couples to have the right to marry, while on the other hand, we see the heterosexual world increasingly treating "marriage" with callous disregard.

The Bible as an Idol
In Exodus 20, the very first of God's ten commandments is His declaration that we must "have no other gods", and right on the heels of that, we're warned against "graven images", which is a warning against fabricating gods out from our own creativity as representations of the true God. God warns against this, of course, because He knows that our attempts to represent God will always, mis-represent Him, as we can do none other than make God in our own image. If you'd like an example of this ' … [Read more...]

Takuma Sato
#14 AJ Foyt Enterprises
17th in points scoring 322 points.
Best finish: 1st (Long Beach)
Worst finish: 24th (x2 Toronto Race 1 and Baltimore)
Best moment: First win at Long Beach
Worst moment: Iowa
Grade: D+
What an up and down season for Takuma Sato. Up until Iowa, he had a rather good season going! Winning at Long Beach is a huge accomplishment. Almost winning at Sao Paulo is also a big deal. A good run at Indianapolis was ruined with a spin. All was well for Sato after a 7th place finish at Milwaukee... And then something happened. Sato DNF'd nine of the next ten races, with a best finish P14 at Houston Race 2. His average finish over the last ten races was a catastrophically terrible 20.6. How awful is that? Sato clearly has the talent but holy lord the second half of the season for him was nothing short of terrible. Only reason he didn't get an F was because of his first half performance. He was leading in points at one point! What happened?
Fortunately for Sato, he will back with the legend AJ Foyt next year. Foyt was skeptical about Sato's contract for next season based on his second half of the season. AJ had a change of heart, deciding to bring back Sato for 2014. Will Sato show more consistency?

If you've never read the bible before — get prepared to get grossed out. There will be chapters and chapters devoted to animal sacrifices and splattering blood all over the holy place.
So far in Exodus, we've been told that the Israelites are wandering around in the desert for 40 years and the only thing that they have to eat is manna that comes down from heaven. Yet, in this chapter (and many others), the priests are to slaughter bulls and rams, burn the dung, the fat, the bodies, sprinkle blood all over and make special offerings that smell good to God. Breads and oils are added to the mix. The priests — who dress up in their special garments described in the previous chapter — splash blood on themselves and throughout their temple and eat some of the meat after doing the appropriate ceremonies.
Quick Tips & Navigation.

Discussion Points.
Skeptic's Annotated, which uses the King James version of the bible, does an excellent job with boiling down the different bloody sacrifices, such as the "wave offering" and the "heave offering."
Putting aside the goriness of these scriptures, they make no sense considering the starving condition of the Israelites. We learn in Deuteronomy 34 that Moses dies at the age of 120 years old. We are also told in Exodus 7:7 that Moses starts his journey with the Israelites at 80 (fourscore) years old. This establishes that Moses led the people of Israel for 40 years.
We are told in Exodus 16:35 that:
And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
Joshua 5:6 tells us that it took the Israelites 40 years worth of wandering in the desert until this arrived at Canaan.
The bible makes it very clear that these people subsisted on manna for a full 40 years. It is ironic, then, that Exodus 29 instructs them to kill one bullock a day and two lambs a day, plus add bread to the mix, since they allegedly had nothing to eat but manna. Of course, the use of gold, silver, brass and special linens for worship that are described throughout the book of Exodus is equally unbelievable, considering these people are liberated slaves who are wandering around through the desert and having to heft these heavy and expensive items around.

|Andy Brickley on M&M: Bruins say they 'have another gear' to their game
|03.19.14 at 1:41 pm ET
NESN Bruins analyst Andy Brickley made his weekly appearance with Mut & Merloni on Wednesday to talk about the Bruins' 10-game win streak, Brad Marchand, Carl Soderberg and more. To hear the interview, go to the Mut & Merloni audio on demand page.
The Bruins have been on a tear recently, winning 10 straight games and outscoring opponents 41-15 in that span. Despite all their success, the team still is looking to improve.
"They've been able to do a lot of things really during this streak," Brickley said. "But it's amazing when you talk to the coaching staff and even to the players to a man, they say, 'We're not peaking, we haven't hit our stride. Yes, we're winning games because we're playing team hockey, and we're getting some good results, but we definitely have another gear.' "
Marchand has been quiet during the streak, only recording two goals and three assists. Brickley admits that while the 25-year-old winger has struggled at times, he has had a successful season.
"He's having a terrific season really, on the whole, when you take a look at it," Brickley said. "Certainly there were times, maybe, at different points in the season where it wasn't going his way and he was kind of fighting it or searching for that balance."
The B's third line compares favorably to many of the third lines across the NHL. One guy in that line that has improved, according to Brickley, is Soderberg.
|Andy Brickley on M&M: Andrej Meszaros 'gives you options'
|03.12.14 at 2:57 pm ET
NESN Bruins analyst Andy Brickley made his weekly appearance with Mut & Merloni on Wednesday to talk about Andrej Meszaros, the B's defense and more. To hear the interview, go to the Mut & Merloni audio on demand page.
While Brickley still has doubts about the Bruins depth at wing, he sees the Meszaros trade as one that will help the Bruins figure out their best defensive combination.
"I'm not sure I'm convinced that if there are injuries to the four lines, as currently constituted, that they have enough in the wings waiting to step in," Brickley said. "The organization, obviously, believes they probably do, but the emphasis was to definitely go get a defenseman, and now bringing in Meszaros, that gives you options."
Added Brickley: "And it gives you — 'cause he can play left or right — and it gives you competition for ice time and actually be in uniform. You see Dougie Hamilton, the first casualty. They're trying to figure out guys. Who's going to play with [Zdeno] Chara in the playoffs? They want that shutdown pair and they're not sure where it's at right now and that was the whole reason to go get a guy like Meszaros."
While the Bruins like what they see from Meszaros so far, the real test starts Wednesday night against Montreal, according to Brickley.
"I think the competition has started," Brickley said. "It started the other night in Florida with Meszaros going to the lineup. They really like what he brought on that power play, being a left shot, being able to work the overload on the one side with other left shots on the half wall, whether it's [Carl] Soderberg or [Loui] Eriksson, whoever it might be. They like that look."
Added Brickley: "Now keep in mind that's the Florida Panthers. That's a pretty easy matchup for your first game as a player. Tonight you'll probably get some different results and I'll be curious to see how the defensemen in the lineup tonight handle a team like Montreal and the intensity and the speed."
|Andy Brickley on M&M: Adding a defenseman 'a definite must for the Bruins'
|03.05.14 at 2:40 pm ET
NESN Bruins analyst Andy Brickley made his weekly appearance with Mut & Merloni on Wednesday to talk about which defensemen the Bruins could add before Wednesday's trade deadline, the possibility of adding a veteran forward and more. To hear the interview, go to the Mut & Merloni audio on demand page.
With rumors swirling that the Blue Jackets and Bruins could be trade partners, Brickley provided information on Columbus defensemen Jack Johnson and Niktia Nikitin.
"Jack Johnson more of an offensive guy," Brickley said. "Likes to have the puck, likes to jump into the play, wants to be in on every power-play opportunity. Has some wrist to his game, he is highly skilled. But when the U.S. was putting its team together for the Olympics, he's not inside the top eight, which tells you maybe his game has gone in the wrong direction."
Added Brickley: "Nikitin may be more of the type of player the Bruins were looking at. Big body, allows the system to be your friend, do your job, be a hard, physical, punishing guy in your own zone, make the simple play. Maybe he's more of a fit based on the fact that you don't want to subtract much from your roster in order to go get what you think you need. And I think Nikitin is really probably higher on the want list even though Jack Johnson is the more of a talent player."
Brickley said the Bruins should add depth to their defense, knowing that injuries have clouded the depth chart.
"If you look at their D, you know [Zdeno] Chara, [Dougie] Hamilton, [Matt] Bartkowski, [Johnny] Boychuck, [Torey] Krug, [Kevan] Miller, and now you don't know what [Adam] McQuaid's situation is. You obviously don't have [Dennis] Seidenberg."
Added Brickley: "Does that give you enough? The Bruins went through nine defensemen last year, the Chicago Blackhawks really only played six, I think their seventh defensemen played one, so they stayed healthier, but the Bruins went through nine D. And the guy that played the least was Wade Redden, and I think he played somewhere around five games, so you need as many defensemen, healthy defensemen, experienced defensemen, versatile defensemen and the right attitude defensemen if you think you're going to have a long playoff run. So I think that is a definite must for the Bruins."
|Shawn Thornton on D&C: 'We like the group we have'
|03.05.14 at 11:01 am ET
Bruins forward Shawn Thornton talked with Dennis & Callahan on Wednesday about the NHL trade deadline, his 100th fight and more. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
With the NHL trade deadline looming, Thornton said that there hasn't been as much discussion in the locker room because of the Olympic break.
"We haven't really talked about it much this year," Thornton said. "I think because there hasn't been a lot of chatter with the Olympics, it took a lot of focus away from the deadline. Usually there's a two-week buildup to it, to be completely honest. This year you came out of the Olympics six days later. So there hasn't been a lot of talk."
Thornton likes the team and is fine with the way it is, but he knows there could be players traded by Wednesday's 3 p.m. deadline.
"We're a pretty good team, but I know that Peter [Chiarelli] is always looking to improve," Thornton said. "And you can always get better, so we'll see what happens by 3 today."
Added Thornton: "We all really like each other, we like the group we have. We're a pretty tight-knit group. We're still winning some hockey games this year, so I'm OK with it."
During Tuesday night's 4-1 victory over the Panthers, Thornton got into his 100th career fight. The fight with Krys Barch was initiated to spark the team and stick up for Milan Lucic, who fought Barch in the first period.
"We were kind of flat in the second period," Thornton said. "Looch can handle himself, obviously, but I didn't like that he went after Looch in the first shift. Krys Barch is a, he's a really good guy. I played with him. … I actually kind of taught him how to fight 11 years ago in the minors."
The Bruins' top line of David Krejci, Jarome Iginla and Lucic performed very well on Tuesday with Krejci recording a hat trick and Iginla scoring the fourth goal. Thornton noted that the trio is unlike any other in the NHL.
"We rely heavily on those guys and they consistently perform," Thornton said. "And it's funny because if there's one game where they don't get a point it's like the sky's falling. Everyone's chirping. They've been unbelievable for us all year. … They bring things to the table that other teams don't have. You don't have two power forwards that are that tough and score."
|Andy Brickley on M&M: Bruins should 'add something significant along the blue line'
|02.26.14 at 1:29 pm ET
NESN Bruins analyst Andy Brickley made his weekly appearance with Mut & Merloni on Wednesday to talk about the possibility of the Bruins adding a defenseman prior to the deadline, Peter Chiarelli's scouting and Loui Eriksson. To hear the interview, go to the Mut & Merloni audio on demand page.
With the NHL trade deadline next Wednesday at 3 p.m., Brickley said how the Bruins view the blue line will determine whether they add a defenseman.
"I think it all starts with how you evaluate what's going on along the blue line," Brickley said. "This is a team that prides itself on goaltending, team defense, some strong penalty-killing, and then that balanced offense is somewhere further down in terms of priority. And if you have that type of analysis, then I think you have to look real closely at the group of six or seven that they have on the blue line right now and say, 'Is this group good enough, deep enough to carry us to an Eastern Conference final and get us to a Stanley Cup final and an opportunity to win this thing.' And I think that's what has to be addressed, because in my evaluation I would like to see them add something significant along the blue line."
Brickley was complimentary of Chiarelli's ability to identify defensemen who work well with the team.
"The thing about what Peter is able to do along with his management team and the scouting crew, identify a guy like Torey Krug and go out and pay maybe a couple extra dollars to make sure he comes to Boston," Brickley said. "You make a deal for [Matt] Bartkowski, when nobody really makes notice of it or takes notice of it. You draft a kid like Dougie Hamilton in the first round. You identify a player like Kevan Miller and allow him to play in the American Hockey League and learn how to be a good depth defenseman. And those guys are all significant pieces to what the Bruins have been able to put together and accomplish and pile up points to this point in the regular season."
Brickley is concerned with the lack of experience the young defensemen have, however, and would rather move Johnny Boychuk out of the top two.
"But as we know the playoffs are a different animal and you're talking about very little experience there in that foursome," Brickley said. "Now you have Johnny Boychuk, because of the added absence of Adam McQuaid as well due to a lot of injuries over the last year plus, almost two years. And of course Dennis Seidenberg being out of the lineup. Now you have [Zdeno] Chara, Boychuk, that's your one-two combination. And I think you're a really strong defense if Boychuk is somewhere in your top four, but maybe not your top two. And that's certainly not an indictment on his play, because I love his game and I love how, how game he is, as a matter of fact, to speak to his character."
Added Brickley: "But if you can go out and acquire, or certainly add to the players that you have on the blue line, as well as they've played, now I think you have a much better chance when you get in the postseason. You know there's going to be injuries, you know there are certain matchups that you're looking for, based on the opponents that you're going to draw, and if you can have seven, eight NHL caliber, and maybe even a top two, three that might not be there right now, I think your chances certainly improve as far as going where you want to go and reaching the goals that you set."
Eriksson, who has not produced big numbers in Boston, played well for Sweden in the just-completed Olympics. Brickley said that the extra playing time, along with playing on the third line, could help the 28-year-old.
"Eriksson needed to play hockey, he needed to play hockey over in Sochi, and he seemed to be — he seemed to be finding his game more and more a little bit before the break," Brickley said. "He seemed to have some chemistry with [Carl] Soderberg in particular, the two Swedes. Seemed to slide into that third line, instead of the pressure of being in that top six, that seems to be paying dividends. And his awareness, when you watched him play, although it was the bigger ice surface, his awareness of all the moving parts going on around him seemed a lot cleaner, a lot sharper. When you come back from injuries, that's the one thing you have to be concerned about when you're coming back from a concussion, is that awareness. Seemed a lot better in the Olympics, so that's what I'm looking for. And he needs to continue to play. So maybe the break was good for him in terms of playing hockey."

"I was in favor of the NHL players going to the Olympics when they were trying to globalize their game and sell their game and let everybody know what a great sport this can be, especially when you have the best players in the world representing their countries and what it means to them to play for their countries," he said. "You get great hockey and it's high competition and the love for the game and the love for the homeland is all on that giant stage, and that's awesome.
"But I would rather see that in the World Cup. They've been to the Olympics, I think that they've done what they set out to do when they first went to the Olympics. I'm not excited about some of the stories I've heard coming from Russia and the situation that Sochi is. …
"That being said, when you do get the kind of competition that is expected in this Olympics and you have the greatest players playing, there's nothing better. I love the Stanley cup finals, but this is about your country, and it's once every four years."
|Shawn Thornton on D&C: Bruins want to 'ride into this two-week break on a high'
|02.05.14 at 1:44 pm ET
Bruins forward Shawn Thornton talked with Dennis & Callahan on Wednesday about Tuesday night's game against the Canucks, coaching in the NHL and more. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
Thornton was pleased with winning on Tuesday, but he said that the usual intensity for the rivalry wasn't there.
"It's been a couple of years," Thornton said, referring to the Bruins' win in the Stanley Cup finals in 2011. "They're coming off back-to-back games, too. [The Canucks] just played in Detroit, so maybe not as much of an energy level for them, and I think they had lost three or four in a row, too. Think they have their own stuff going on internally."
Despite the Canucks' off night, Thornton said the Bruins did what they do best.
"We're more focused on what we do, but it might have taken from it a little bit," Thornton said. "When you're up by a couple goals to start, I guess really running around and creating the emotion, you could be playing with fire. … You're in control of the game, you just want to keep control of the game the way it is."
With the win against the Canucks, the Bruins have gone 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. Thornton credits focus as a big reason for their success.
"Yeah, things are going well," Thornton said. "We kind of broke it down about 10 games before the Olympic break that we wanted to ride into this two-week break on a high, and I think we've done a good job of that for the last seven, eight games. That's still our goal, we're pretty good at not looking at the long-term board, just taking it game to game and sometimes segment to segment."

Oregon Historical County Records Guide
Curry County Records Inventory
Probate Registers
Series records the actions taken by the county's probate court. Information includes case numbers, estate or deceased's name, administrator's or executor's name, dates and types of papers filed, and memoranda and court orders listed by dates of appointment of administrator or executor. Series may also be referred to as probate journals, dockets, or records of actions. Over the years probate jurisdiction has been transferred from the county court to the circuit court in most counties. However, the county courts in Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Malheur, Sherman, and Wheeler Counties continue to hear probate cases. In 1986 circuit courts with probate jurisdiction began recording basic case information on the Oregon Judicial Information Network (OJIN). This network functionally replaced probate dockets and journals previously maintained by the courts. The transition to full use of OJIN by all circuit courts in Oregon took approximately two years. Contact the trial court administrator for access to OJIN. Portions of these records may be restricted.
Curry County joined the Oregon Judicial Information Network (OJIN) in 1987.

Beleaguered diva Whitney Houston's eagerly awaited yet widely panned return to the pop pen has not exactly gone to plan.
Houston faced a barrage of criticism when she took her Nothing But Love tour to Australia last week, amid reports of fans walking out of her shows, demanding refunds and complaining she was off-key during performances.
The backlash was kick-started after her disastrous Brisbane appearance.
As has been widely reported, 46-year-old Houston came under fire from disgruntled fans after allegedly appearing breathless, disorientated and exhausted.
Reports from scores of fans said the multi-award winning star coughed her way through the Brisbane show, took long, regular breaks between songs, sounded "croaky" and appeared "disorientated".
They claimed the hitmaker struggled to complete her set and that her voice is a now a pale imitation of its former self.
'She couldn't entertain a dead rat'
That was Brisbane. Sadly, Sydney didn't fare much better by all accounts. Reports say Houston managed to hold it together for the first hour, but that it turned to custard mid-way through. Some fans are believed to have walked out on the diva after her voice began to crack.
Media outside the concert venue caught some of the more scathing comments: "She couldn't entertain a dead rat", spouted one angry fan.
"She shouldn't have turned up", and "It's the worst concert I've ever been to", others complained.
A total plate of hate there then.
All that pesky negativity and panning prompted Houston's publicist to release a statement trashing escalating reports that the star is having health problems.
"Whitney is in great health and having a terrific time on her tour and with her fans," she said.
"Her fans were dancing and singing along with her and Whitney appreciates their support."
But not all her fans are convinced.
"She barely finished any of her songs and talked more than she sang while trying to catch a breath, as well as stopping in the middle of her songs to get a towel, reapply makeup," wrote one fan in a forum posting.
"If her voice is shot, and she knows it, how dare she get up on stage and pretend it's not," said another according to ABC news.
Houston, whose battled drug addiction for years, is in Australia to promote her new album I Look To You.
Her last show will be in Perth on March 7, before she heads off to France and Britain in April.
Blame it on the fags
Houston's promoter Andrew McManus has now come clean and opened up about the star's breathing difficulties and lacklustre performances.
So what's the trouble with Houston? Her nasty tobacco habit, apparently...
"Whitney smokes. God bless her, I can't tell her not to. She will not take any substances. She just will not. It is what it is.
"She's comfortable with the show she's performing. She knows she's not hitting every note like she used to. But it's value for money, it's Whitney Houston warts and all."
He also said he was proud to be associated with the star, calling her an "amazing talent".
Oh, and if you're keen to hear the diva's voice of yore, go buy a CD. Charming. Especially charming for those who forked out mucho $$$ to see the preferably 'wart-less' diva in action.
"All I can say is what happened to the Australian positive support of someone who has seen difficult times and is now up on stage, warts and all, presenting herself like an open book for the world to see," he said in a statement on his company website.
Meanwhile, Houston is hoping her fans will continue to support her as she struggles to make a clean comeback.
"I talked to her after the Sydney show," adds McManus.
"I told her I have her back but she said, 'If the good Lord wants me to be attacked and ridiculed that's the road I have to go down'."
Whitney the martyr. It's just a crying shame it comes with a hefty price tag: her reputation.
And judging by these photos, and these, of a decidedly grumpy and dishevelled Houston leaving Sydney airport yesterday, the "attacking" has clearly taken its toll on her.
We've been cheerleading for Houston from the get-go. She's a survivor and has obviously worked so damn hard to try and reclaim her crown and turn up the heat on her once blazing career.
She's got balls and deserves credit for putting herself out there and giving it her all. But sadly her all isn't up to scratch and her fans know it. And if she's honest too, so does she most probably.

Re-live the Nightmare
The second trailer for the big screen 're-imagining' of Wes Craven's cult horror flick A Nightmare on Elm Street has emerged.
Amazingly enough, it doesn't look as hideous as we thought it would. There may be hope for razor-fingered Freddy after all.
Grandpa Carey
Rubber-faced comic Jim Carrey has become a grandfather at the age of 47.
The star's 22-year-old daughter Jane popped her ciabatta in a Los Angeles hospital on Friday, according to a spokesperson.
And on Saturday, proud granddaddy Carey uploaded a pic of the bambino to TwitPic.
Jackson Riley Santana weighed in at a healthy 7lbs, 11ozs and mother and baby are said to be doing well.

Puerto del Rosario
I decided a night in Puerto del Rosario might be good for a change of scene and I had an early flight in the morning. I probably should have listened more to what I'd been told, it's more industrial and not so enjoyable. Still it was a transit stop that helped me get to the airport in plenty of time, the bus being much more efficient than I'd expected.
Landing at the airport I quickly found that they only had one ATM and it was out of order and there was nowhere to exchange cash. So rather than getting the bus I was lumped with a taxi.
It was a small bump in what was a chilled five days in the little town of Corralejo in the north of Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands. It's a kiteboarding and surfing paradise so not quite my cup of tea but I really enjoyed the laid back vibe ...

DRC: Civilians and aid actors, victims of renewed fighting in Kivu
April 11, 2012
Paris, Armed conflicts are intensifying in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, along with large troop movements. Members of the civilian population are the first victims, but aid actors are also directly targeted. "The situation is not stabilizing in Kivu. It is deteriorating again, and has been deteriorating over the last several months", says Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) program manager Dr. Marcela Allheimen.
Recent defections from the national army have led to increased insecurity and military confrontations, also leading to reconfiguration of the different forces at stake. "We are noticing renewed violence. But what is worse is the trivialization of violence on civilian populations and aid actors", says Dr. Marcela Allheimen.
Items such as food, money and mobile phones are extorted, mostly to supply military logistics. Since November 2011, MSF teams have been victims of more than fifteen acts of violence including a raid last week by armed and uniformed men of an MSF house in Baraka, South Kivu. More seriously, on April 4th, 2012, MSF personnel were physically harassed. That day, two MSF staff members - a nurse and a logistician - were kidnapped on a road near Nyanzale in North Kivu and released a few hours later.
As a result, MSF - one of the few medical aid organizations present in North and South Kivu - has suspended its activities in Nyanzale, reduced them in Rutshuru and withdrew its team in the Butembo area. This is another consequence of the degradation of the situation: for the civilian populations already weakened by a conflict of many years' standing, access to medical care is becoming more difficult. As MSF, we cannot provide the aid that we would like to in Kivu and sick people are afraid to travel to reach the health centers.
Another consequence on livelihood is that few people go to work in the fields due to lack of security. Civilian populations are victims of theft and extortion. People are also drafted to transport the belongings of armed men and sometimes women are held as slaves.
The national and international stabilization mechanism in Kivu has never been so important. However MSF questions its effectiveness given the worsening of the situation and is concerned that the capacity to provide medical care continues to decrease.
Despite the fragile security situation, MSF continues to have teams on the ground in North and South Kivu providing medical care notably in Kitchanga, Mweso, Pinga, Rutshuru, Baraka, Lulimba, Kalonge and Shabunda.

Well I'm driving to get some Yoshinoya when I hear BOV go off and see a white RSX pull right behind me while some car is next to me. I proceed to go to the Fwy. and he follows letting me know he was BOV power. I know he wants to play so I get on the Fwy. and merge all the way to the fast lane.
Well he gets next to me at about 70ish and he does the 3 honk and were off. I down shift to 3rd and he's with me the whole way into 4th and still with me till I hit about 110 (4th red lines at 120) and I started pulling on him. I ended up about 1 1/2 car length ahead all the way to about 130mph which I know I shouldn't be doing but it was real late and no cars
Sweet RSX and cool guy, we gave thumbs up and that was my lil adventure while on my lunch Break

Two prominent groups opposed to legalized abortion are getting heavily involved in the congressional contest in Minnesota's 8th District.
The conservative Susan B. Anthony List, a Washington D.C. based Pro-life group, reported spending $32,432 on mailers in opposition to DFL Rep. Jim Oberstar.
Meanwhile, Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life is spending $9417 on mailings on behalf of Oberstar's GOP opponent, Chip Cravaack. The MCCL endorsed Cravaack last week after backing Oberstar for decades.
The Susan B. Anthony List and the MCCL both say they're backing Cravaack because of Oberstar's support for the health care reform law. They say the law would allow federal taxpayers funds to be spent on abortion. At issue is the health exchanges and whether HMOs would be allowed to offer abortion coverage even to people who receive federal subsidies. Oberstar and his campaign staffers argue that there are protections in place to ensure federal funds aren't spent on abortion (Read more about it on Politfact).
Susan B. Anthony List, which was also a strong supporter of Oberstar in the past, hinted in a March news release that it would make Oberstar's vote an issue in the upcoming election:
"Congressman Oberstar can no longer call himself 'pro-life.' He has set himself with the likes of NARAL, NOW, and Planned Parenthood, and has betrayed his pro-life principles and his constituents. Seventy-four percent of voters in the eighth district oppose taxpayer funding of abortion as part of health care reform, according to a survey commissioned by the Susan B. Anthony List this week. Fifty-six percent of Rep. Oberstar's constituents surveyed also said that they would be less likely to vote for him next Election Day if he supported healthcare with abortion funding.
The key question is whether voters will continue their practice of routinely sending Oberstar back to Washington or choose to side with the Pro Life groups who now oppose him.

The phrase alone is something that can make most people uneasy. In bodybuilding, every fan that follows the off stage melodrama is well aware of the select few, simply referred to as "The Powers That Be." In all walks of life, business, and government, each sect has their own hierarchy, with the mysterious group high atop the mountain calling all of the shots and reigning down Zeus thunderbolts on all those opposed. "Step in line peasant or feel the wrath," is the general rule of thumb by "The Powers."
By my estimation the phrase as it relates to bodybuilding can be traced back to the early 90's when the IFBB squashed any dreams of a Vince McMahon led WBF competing organization. McMahon tried to pull off a pay-per-view spectacle having bodybuilding greats Gary Strydom, Aaron Baker, Eddie Robinson, and several others compete on a more energetic stage with huge payouts to the athletes. When the WBF got poor PPV buys it only solidified what we have known for decades about bodybuilding: it's a niche sport.
If the mighty McMahon couldn't shake up "The Empire" then nobody could. The bodybuilders who left the IFBB in favor of big contracts with the WBF were ostracized from the sport, all the while sending a clear message to all future top level amateur and pro bodybuilders – don't fuck with "The Powers That Be." Since the stifled defection of competitors from the IFBB to the WBF, we've seen a handful of people get voted off the island. Lee Priest found himself banned from competing after he decided to compete in the PDI (Pro Division Inc.) Night of Champions in 2006, and although I don't think Paul Dillett misses too much about the IFBB, the current CEO of the WBFF (World Beauty Fitness & Fashion Inc.) is probably not getting an invitation to the Mr. Olympia anytime soon.
As for defecting from one organization to another, personally I have no problem with what "The Powers That Be" decided with all of those men. If someone is unhappy and wants to go someplace else, it's a free country and they should be allowed to do whatever they want. But when it doesn't work out the way it was planned don't come crying home and expect the door to still be open for you.
However, the gripe I do have is that every IFBB athlete has to pay a yearly fee to maintain their professional status. Since the IFBB is supposed to operate as a 501c3 non-profit I'd like to see what those annual dues actually mean in regards to the athlete. Does it mean a retirement fund? Does it mean health insurance? Does it pay FICA taxes? It just seems like there's more to gain by being one of "The Powers That Be" than the actual athlete themselves. Just like in any contract, it can't be one sided for both parties to be happy, but clearly the bodybuilders in the IFBB are on the low end of the totem pole and desperately under represented. The fact that the athletes have an actual athlete representative with no legal background is kind of funny. Show me any other players association in sports where the union of athletes isn't represented by an attorney and I'll eat my words. But I digress, there is no bodybuilding union and therefore no unified voice amongst the athletes.
Back to the mystique of "The Powers That Be;" in bodybuilding everyone lives and dies by the, eggs all in one basket mindset. We're all on Facebook and Instagram witnessing firsthand the neurotic behavior by not only first time competitors, but by seasoned IFBB pro's. Selfies, food pics, progress pics, workout video clips, cry baby diary entries about how hard prep is, and self-absorbed countdown until contest reminder clocks. All things combined make for easy pickens' to manipulate a mass of people all looking for some kind of approval given by a voiceless group of strangers. And how could you really blame someone who even holds just a little bit of power? Remember, these athletes are all so fearful of saying or doing the wrong thing that they take the "yes man" approach to the Nth degree. How would you like to do 12 or 16 weeks of miserable dieting while pumping more gear into your body than you'd care to admit, only to have the rug pulled out from underneath your feet just because you mentioned that one of "The Powers That Be" was having a bad hair day or has an ugly tattoo in one of your status updates? Seems kind of unjust, but it's the perception of the athletes who compete and one mighty deterrent by the demigods.
Not everyone is losing out in bodybuilding. Contrary to what might have been the general belief a decade ago, I firmly think the judging has improved by leaps and bounds. It wasn't too long ago that everyone had to pay their dues no matter how good they were and veterans in the sport saw themselves getting gift placing's that were completely undeserved. Outside of a Jay Cutler 6th place 2013 Olympia finish I honestly cannot recall a decision by the panel of judges I didn't agree with or could at least see their side of things. Now, I know there was a lot of controversy about Steve Kuclo's Arnold Brazil victory over Lionel Beyeke, Jon Delarosa, and Juan Morel. All four of those bodybuilders arguably looked their all-time best on stage that weekend. And it might be easy to point out that Kuclo won because he's from Texas, home state of Poseidon, and that he still wasn't complete enough to take the title, but it would also be easy to point out that Beyeke doesn't have glutes, hams, or calves; that Morel has chicken legs; and that Delarosa is 25lb lighter. Fans might not like the call, but it wasn't blown the way some might have thought it was.
Make no mistake about it, "The Powers That Be" are a savvy group of guys. Fans talk about expansion, pay-per-view, Livestream's, and accessibility; but those are the things that could make for unfavorable working conditions for the future of the IFBB. Let's be clear, bodybuilding is not in the same realm as MMA. Copying the Dana White UFC business model is something bodybuilding cannot do. Instead, people need to realize it's more in line with Donald Trump's Miss Universe organization, a place he can strip the crown off the head of a smoking hot girl from San Diego, California because she doesn't believe in gay marriage.
One of the glaring issues I can say with 100% certainty after speaking with fans and industry insiders is the conflict of interest of bodybuilders aligning themselves with one "Power" or a group of "Powers That Be" in order to gain favoritism. It could be managing a gym, co-promoting a show, or appearing in free ads on websites that would otherwise be off limits due to non-compete media contracts. How can a bodybuilder have a business relationship with an authority figure on Thursday and then be judged by the same person on Friday? Regardless if I just said that the judging has greatly improved in the past 10 years, something like this shouldn't be regulated – at least not from my common sense perspective.
Instead of bodybuilders, fans, and media types constantly bitching and moaning about "The Powers That Be" and their tyrannical strangle hold on bodybuilding, we might need to appreciate them for the good they bring. Somebody once asked me if I thought steroids should be legal and I said, "Absolutely not." The person looked at me shocked and I said, "Why? So everyone can be as big as me?" Bodybuilding is a niche sport run by a group of guys who don't take shit. Bodybuilding, figure, fitness, bikini, and physique athletes need leadership and approval and bodybuilding provides this to them. Imagine the nightmare a bodybuilding show or lack thereof, would be without "The Powers That Be!" Bikini girls would have to go back to contests at the billiard hall, men's physique guys would have to return to the Chippendales, and female bodybuilders would have to do whatever it is that Nicole Bass does these days. Men's bodybuilders would still look and feel like what we know of today, but without a home. Lost souls with no place to flex their muscles except for the loneliness of Skype and a nameless, faceless person on the other end of a computer for yet another Friday night muscle worshipping session.
The bottom line is that bodybuilders need "The Powers That Be," but "The Powers That Be" also need bodybuilders; and both need to keep the fans happy. It's a delicate sport with huge risks taken; and fair and equal treatment should be at the paramount to all of those in charge.

I G takes on suicide bombers
As the title indicates, I.G. is a cop story which shows how youths are trained by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LET) in Pakistan to be sent as suicide bombers in various parts of our country. Sureshgopi will play an Anti-Terrorism Squad chief (like Hemant Karkare, who was killed in the recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai). This police thriller is scripted by the director himself.
I.G. has Jagathy Sreekumar, Vijayaraghavan, Devan, Govind Padmasuriya, Rajan P. Dev, Aashish Vidyarthi, Nandhinee, Lakshmi, Anaida Nair and John Kokkan in prominent roles. Cinematography is by Shyam Dutt. M. Jayachandran has set music to the lysics written by Gireesh Puthencherry. Expected to be completed in a single schedule, the shooting of the film is now progressing in and around Thiruvananthapuram.
Meanwhile, after a gap of 20 years, Sureshgopi is all set to act in his second straight Telugu film, being produced by Tolly 2 Holly. Though not the main hero, Sureshgopi plays a crucial role in this untitled film, starring Ajay and Madhurima in the lead. In addition to his only Telugu film Antima Theerpu (1988), Sureshgopi is quite familiar to Telugu audiences with dubbed versions of his Malayalam blockbusters Commissioner (1994) and Bharath Chandran IPS (2005), Pathram (1999) and Chinthamani Kola Case (2006).

The DC101 Kerfuffle - Khan Style
First off...thank you! By all accounts Kerfuffle was a fantastic success mainly because of how chill so many of you were.
The other reason...the music! You may have not been totally familiar with all of the bands but based on the conversations I had with many of you and your responses on Twitter/Facebook and other social media, you dug the bands. Personally, I was very much looking forward to seeing Brick and Mortar (who could have easily blown the roof off of Merriweather) and SOJA but that does not mean that I did not enjoy the other bands. Semi Precious Weapson and Kongos really impressed me as did Foals and a super energetic set by J Roddy Walston and the Business. WOW!!!
Then there was Cage the Elephant. I made certain to be near the stage while they were on and they did not disappoint. It was a full on hit parade and then "IT" happened. What do you mean Khan? Matt Schultz from Cage the Elephant turned what was meant to be an innocent stage dive and turned that into surfing up the entire pavilion and up into the lawn and give everyone up there some love. There is a picture below.
SOJA...wow! I saw them play in a backyard once in Virginia and on May 3rd got to see them at Merriweather. They were fantastic and brought with them a whole bunch of energy, a chill vibe and good times that was "high"ly appreciated by many.
311. That is all I have to say about that.
Here is the picture that I was talking about of Matt from Cage the Elephant in the lawn.
Yeah...that totally happened!
Thank you for coming out in an awesome way and having a good time! Until next time!

Bullseye blunder: bullet for cow hit woman, court hears
Page Tools
A motorist travelling home from her holidays was shot in the leg by a man trying to kill a cow, a court has been told.
Rudolf Stadler, 51, from Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast, has pleaded not guilty in the Brisbane District Court to one count of a negligent act causing bodily harm to 46-year-old Carrie Tunning.
In his opening address to the jury today, prosecutor Matt Nathan said that on April 17 last year Stadler offered his slaughtering services to his hobby farmer friend, Paul Tyson.
Mr Tyson wanted to kill a cow on his property at Caboolture, north of Brisbane.
Stadler used molasses and hay to lure the cow to an open-door shed and fired at it with a .234 Winchester bolt action rifle.
The first shot missed, so Stadler fired again.
This time the bullet passed through the back of the shed, through the door of a passing car and into the leg of Mrs Tunning, who was driving along Beachmere Road on her way back to Brisbane after a Sunshine Coast holiday.
"I heard this enormous noise like a rock hitting the car but much louder," Mrs Tunning told the court.
"I looked down and there was blood everywhere on my leg."
Mrs Tunning's husband took her to hospital with the bullet lodged in her leg and she has made a full recovery.
Mr Nathan told the jury they should find Stadler guilty of negligence because he failed to take "simple and reasonable precautions".
"The accused was a licensed owner of a high-profile rifle. As such he had a duty of care to ensure that when it was fired the rifle did not endanger the lives of [those around him]," he said.
"He failed to ensure that if it missed its target, it didn't injure a potential victim."
The trial before Judge Douglas McGill is continuing.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I just got that book from my library - it cost $3 to have it brought in from Texas, but it is so worth it - I got it for the dragonfly pond pattern but I think I'm going to start with the coneflower as well...
Yours is beautiful!
Leaving me speechless all those small pieces you had to sew. thanks for sharing. Beautiful end product
You've got more than a 'fancy foot' . I'd say patience is also a biggie for you - your coneflowers are gorgeous.
That's really gorgeous! Sometimes PP is the only way to get such effects. What a wonderful result out of all those pieces of paper!
I love your sunflowers. Very nice job.
Beautiful, you did a great job.

PGA Tour Is On Par With Linux
Linux and Golf... Smooth As A 20 Foot Putt Right Into The Cup
June 9, 2003
The world of sandtraps, water barriers, and greens seems a distanct place from the dry, austere environment of IT. So why would the PGA Tour have an interest in Linux?
The quest began when the PGA Tour started producing Tourcast. Tourcast is a graphical Flash application that shows, in real time, the progress of a tournament on a Web browser. It displays the locations of players, the location of the ball, obstacles, and other tournament information. Tournament events show up on the web audiences' browser between 8 and 18 seconds after they happen on the course.
The PGA needed ultra reliability, especially when covering a live tournament with their Tourcast application. So, it should come as no real surprise that they would run their web site and Tourcast application on Linux systems.
The PGA Tour also needed variable web server capacity. During a tournament, server demands would spike to extremely high levels to handle Tourcast. But the rest of the time, the server had to simply handle normal web page queries. The PGA Tour had already worked with IBM Technical Support since 1992, so the IBM team went to work to solve this new problem. Using Linux and mainframes, IBM engineers provided exactly the right solution.

A donation to Massac County may be a remedy for its aging and cramped courthouse.
Banterra Bank entered an agreement Tuesday with the Massac County Board of Directors to donate an estimated $3.5 million worth of property to the county for possible use as courthouse space.
The bank is constructing a new building for its Metropolis branch at 519 and 521 Ferry St. and will be leaving its facility at 101 W. Eighth Street and residential property at 802 Ferry St. to Massac County. Banterra hopes to have its new location finished in June 2015, when the county can take possession of the donated property.
Jim Morris, executive vice president and chief of legal affairs of Banterra, said the bank decided to donate the property after seeing its own need for a smaller building and the county's need for space.
Morris said the bank, which opened its Metropolis branch in 2000, only uses about 25 to 50 percent of its building, while the county "has a dire need for courthouse space."
"In the process of working out the details, the building would be a lot more suitable for them than for us," he said.
He said the building was constructed in the 1990s and is efficient and modern.
The Massac County Courthouse is badly lacking in modern facilities. Patrick Windhorst, state's attorney of Massac County, is using parts of his office for file storage. Any additional space, he said, could relieve the current cramped quarters.
Tight space isn't the only problem in the building, which houses two courtrooms and all of the county offices except the sheriff's department and jail. The 72-year-old structure, which was built as a part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Projects Administration (WPA) projects, is falling into disrepair.
Windhorst pointed out paint falling off the large courtroom ceiling, light fixtures that are out of use due to water dripping from the leaking roof, bathrooms that have been reduced to one operating stall, and other plumbing, heating and air conditioning problems.
"It's in bad shape," he said.
Windhorst said the county's board received an estimate in 2011 of about $2.5 million to repair the building. Since then, some repairs have been made, such as a new roof that is being put on this summer.
While the new space donated by Banterra won't fix the courthouse's problems, the county has hired a consulting firm to recommend the best steps to take. RQAW Consulting Engineers and Architects of Indianapolis will look at the courthouse, the bank building and the possibility of a new justice center. Its agreement with the county states it plans to complete planning and design work within 90 days and develop cost estimates for different routes the county may take.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. A sidearm in Halo 3, much weaker than the Halo: Combat Evolved model with an even smaller clip. Due to the combined accuracy, power, and scope of the M6D pistol from the first Halo, the Halo 2 and 3 equivelents were significantly depowered. With the scope missing and smaller ammo capacity, this side arm is no longer the apt substitute for a mid-range weapon. It was thought, because of its chrome-type finish (similar to the M6D), that the pistol in this game was the returning scoped pistol. It wasn't. The two advantages that this magnum has over its predecessor is its ability to be dual-wielded and slightly higher rate of fire. Despite this, the original SPARTAN side arm is still looked upon as superior. Halo Reach Variant The M6G as it appears in Halo Reach The M6G, also known as the Magnum (not to be confused with the M6C Magnum from Halo 2), is actually very similar to the M6D from Halo 1--both in design and power. The Magnum has a fast rate-of-fire and can take down a Spartan player in 5 shots (assuming the last is a headshot), but is inaccurate when fired too quickly. It features a 2x scope and is most useful at a medium range, but will prove to be very effective at close range for players with an accurate hand. Halo Reach does not have dual-wielding, so obviously the Magnum cannot be dual-wielded.

Will the ill-fated program ever start renting bikes? Well, yes. But, man, it's been slow.
This was particularly nice of them because it's so easy to make water jokes about their beer.
Satellites are letting scientists know what happened to all the sewage from Hurricane Sandy. Which we need to know about, even though it's uh, crappy news.
Superstorm Sandy took a toll on East Coast Superfund sites, waterways and more. Cleanup is underway but the full impact is not yet known.
Rising winds from Sandy caused the unfinished 104-story tower made a sound like a weird ghost.
It's nice to think that the aftermath of an eco-catastrophe won't be forcing everyone to use unsustainable power sources that will probably only make climate change worse.
Sandy was a monster. It leveled neighborhoods. People lost lives and homes. Some residents, however, have a complaint of a less grave nature.
New York Gov. Cuomo is furious with utilities and promises to review their contracts. Meanwhile, Reuters looks at whether customers could sue.
Plumbing the storm's names and nicknames leads to some useful takeaways for communicating about climate change.

Snowbird - (keys c'ik'as) - Is the Indian given name of artist, Taylor Tupper-David. She's a direct descendant of some of the most powerful leaders in Modoc history. Such as; Captain Jack, Dr. Duffy, Winema, Scar Face Charley, Mae Copperfield, Old Sheepy, and Old Chief Schonchin. She is an enrolled member of the Klamath Tribes of Oregon- the Klamath, Modoc, and Yahooskin Peoples.
Taylor says, "Many times when I begin to paint, I do not know what colors or what design is going to take shape. I start with a sketch in my head and see where it leads. Many times what I begin often comes out as something entirely different. This is when I listen to the words of my father who says, "he homas gi".... which means, "Just do it!"
All my garments are hand washable and if taken care of properly, can last for many, many years. I myself have a jacket that I painted that I've had for over 12 years.

There is a good chance the puppy may be a "runt". But that does not mean she will have health problems or anything else. And she could be just a slow starter, I have seen it go both ways. My boy was much smaller when he was born, but he is just as big as his litter mtes now.

Lupe Fiasco Explains How Online Piracy Affects Artists
In the wake of the government seizure of several hip-hop websites, artists and media professionals alike have been sounding off on the topic of music piracy. For Lupe Fiasco, the discussion may be fresh, but the idea of bloggers serving music to the masses without permission is anything but new.
Weeks before sites like OnSmash.com were shut down, Fiasco adamantly opposed the careless actions of blog administrators who knowingly supply songs they've illegally accessed, without gaining proper approval to post on their respective sites.
"People are trapped in the culture where music needs to be free and you don't need to pay for it," he told The BoomBox. "I was just at Princeton, speaking at Cornel West's class, and someone asked that. They asked about the relationship between blogs and artists. I told them, at a bare minimum it costs me, literally out of my own pocket, it costs me $3,000 to $4,000 to make a song. It costs me about $700 to $800 to make a freestyle. I'm giving you that."
The Chi-town MC went on to discuss the difference between the tracks he dishes out compared to those bloggers take from him, unjustly. "Just imagine if I work with The Neptunes, including studio time and everything that goes into it — flying people around — it gets up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a song like 'I'm Beamin' or 'I Gotcha.' So to kinda see it on the Internet and, for some instances, for sale, who are you to have the right to tell me that I shouldn't demand payment or feel a certain way for seeing people put my music out there like that? If I chose to do that, that's one thing. But I didn't choose to do that. That music was stolen."
Earlier this summer, Lupe was engaged in a war of words, via the Internet, with Eskay, founder of the popular hip-hop blog NahRight.com. The controversy surrounded the rhymer's rants on his music being pirated and leaked via the blog. While articles have since published claiming NahRight's owner never placed a ban on Lupe's songs, as a result of the tiff, rumors circulated the 'net that the site indeed had, albeit for a short time.
"You have to come to grips with you wanting to be popular as opposed to you [saying], 'Oh we're just gonna ban this dude,'" Lupe explained. "It doesn't shake me either way. At the end of the day, I'm not making money off of it, directly or indirectly."
The 'Lasers' creator says if there was such a ban, the decision to resume supplying his material for the site's readers comes not because of a want, but due to a need. "You're getting money from Google for ads with the amount of people that come to your site. So those 10,000 Lupe Fiasco fans that are not coming to your site to listen to that song, that's 10,000 less clicks that you have," Lupe justifies. "They're in kinda conflict with themselves and need to get over themselves and really come to grips with what actually went down, which was people pirating music."

Comparing database approaches is a religious thing so I have been looking at the different uses cases and solutions available. I'll be reporting more on them here over the next few months. In the meantime I found a great post by the folks at Basho worthy of a highlight here on DevOpsANGLE.com.
On Basho's wiki they compare Riak to the other competing choices and wanted to share it here.
The NoSQL space, as well as the database space in general, is growing ever-crowded. Because of this, we often find ourselves answering very high-level questions from developers, prospects, and customers along the lines of, "How does Riak compare to this database?" or "What is the main difference between your replication strategy and this NoSQL Database?"
Here is a brief and objective comparisons of Riak to other databases (the competition.

Harry Styles Refuses to Be Featured on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians'
Harry Styles recently won an injunction that prevents the paps from coming too close and encroaching on his space to take pictures of him. That same situation applies to his "relationship" with Kendall Jenner. Apparently Hazza has laid down the law, refusing to have their "dates" featured on her family's reality show 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians.'
