Dusseldorf to Frankfurt
Today I bus to Frankfurt. I've been there before a long time ago when I worked for Penguins doing the book fair. I'd seen a little of the city then but it has grown in stature since and is more of a financial hub. It laden with foreigners it's not unlikeable though and has a lively atmosphere. Like Berlin there are some amazing smells around the city but also like ...
Haben Sie Stärkemehl?
... Germany, birthdays are to be celebrated on the day of one's birth. They can't be moved around for convenience. Also, the person celebrating the birthday must bring something into the office to share with their co-workers. Brandon promised them key lime pie, not considering that a health conscious nation such as Germany may not routinely carry the key ingredient to key lime pie, sweetened condensed milk. That is probably why no one knew what it was. So he settled for lemon ...

Hopped on another train and hit Wiesbaden. Matt had told me how much he enjoyed this area so I decided to pay a visit and find a place to stay. Found a perfectly priced hostel with free breakfast/coffee! Thank god!
Just a note about breakfast in Europe: for one they don't eat a hot meal like we do. No eggs, hashbrowns, pancakes or anything like that. It's usually just ...

... so I could meet up with Cindy. Thankfully we were able to meet up right where she came out of the terminal! We made our way to the Frankfurt HBF (main station)- grabbed a quick lunch and walked to a park to enjoy the sun before our train left. That afternoon we made our way to Salzburg, our first stop! Needless to say we were both extremely excited for this adventure to ...

best paver leveling sand?
im ready to lay my pavers, but cant find any info on which product is best for leveling sand, everything i read on lowes and home depot reviews are bad.
Not sure what you mean "what product"?
If you have your base aggregate down and compacted, all you need are two pipes and a board. I took a clas at one of the local paver supply places and the said lay down two metal (metal, not plastic which will flex) pipes whose widths are the approximate sand depth you need (1"?) paralles to each other. Pour the sand around them and screed level with a straight 8' 2x4. Pull the pipes out carefully and fill the holes they left.
Its easier than it sounds, I found out when doing my 400 sq ft patio last summer.
I mean which brand of sand, they all have bad reviews
Reviews? Sand is sand.
How many sq ft is the project you are doing? Are you talking the layer of sand on top of the aggregate that you are laying the pavers on, or are you talking about the sand that you are sweeping over the top to fill the spaces between the pavers?
The setting bed that is over the compacted base should be uniformly 1" thick and ordinary concrete sand is readily available. The sand thickness to be uniform and uncompacted (just screeded). I drainage is needed, the base should be contoured to provide the needed slope, if any.
The sand to cast on the pavers after they are set with tight joints could be concrete sand since the gradation specification are quite loose. It can be used if it is on the fine side, but often masonry sand for mortar is used. Don't bother with the expensive polymeric sand unless it is a small job and convenient. - I have never seen polymeric sand used on a serious paver installation.
Too thick a setting bed can cause "floating" and low spots in the future.
Just vibrate with a plate vibrator to make the surface uniform and draw some of the setting bed up into the joints and force the cast surface sand down into the joints to create the strength and stability of the surface.
These are relatively standard construction steps/method for interlocking concrete pavers world-wide for decades.
If you are using larger units (over 12" in any dimension), they are not really pavers, but usually just "stepping stones" that have less strength and stability when installed.
For a patio, the larger units (16x16) will be adequate because it is unlikely you will not have a car or truck driving on it.
The smaller pavers are thicker, more precise and have more area for contact at the joint that gives the real strength.
The pattern of the laying also can give more strength because of the different shapes and a generally rectangular (not square) allows allows different patterns like herringbone than have more stability.

9pm, BBC2
Put down that copy of Grazia: this one requires concentration. Black holes are born when stars burn off all their fuel and implode, and their existence creates a conundrum that nobody has yet managed to work out. All the mass of a black hole is contained within an infinitely small space called a singularity, but in physicists' terms, infinity is impossible. Yet the big bang is the product of a singularity. At the heart of this programme is a brilliant anomaly – the way Einstein's relativity theory does not equate with quantum mechanics – making this a portrait of deep science in flux.
Gordon Ramsay's F Word
9pm, Channel 4
In this series, the nationwide search is on to find the top "local" restaurant. This involves a trawl through establishments of such foul decor, entrees and menu presentation that you fear for Gordon's nostrils. However, some would-be stars emerge, then it's down to London where the cooking and swearing can really begin. Jean Baptiste is also on judgmental hand, as is Janet Street Porter, who takes charge of some miserable-looking farm animals, their eventual fate compounded by the fact that their short lives will be spent being reared by her.
True Stories: Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo
10pm, More4
Oklahoma State Penitentiary is a maximum-security prison which also houses the state's death row and execution chamber. Once a year, however, it becomes an entertainment venue, staging a rodeo ("As American as our justice system," says the website of the local chamber of commerce). Bradley Beesley has studied peculiarly Oklahoman subjects before – catfish catchers, the Flaming Lips – and his studies of the bull-riding inmates, male and female, as they prepare for the 2007 rodeo, are acute and affecting. Whether serving time for dreadful crimes or petty nonsense, all react positively to having some-thing to work towards.
11pm, Five USA
A chance for Freeview viewers to catch this excellent, subtle drama (and for FX fans to finally see the second series, showing here later in the year). Bryan Cranston stars as a high-school science teacher who's stumbled into the volatile world of cooking meth – highly addictive speed. Cranston proves he's more than capable of reaching the depths he touched on in Malcolm in the Middle, although you do keep waiting for a punchline that never quite comes.

Digital Darkroom
Definition - What does Digital Darkroom mean?
A digital darkroom is a combination of hardware and software processes along with various techniques used in digital photography. It replaces all film development and related activities with the ability to perform these activities on a computer. The software tools used in a digital darkroom are very sophisticated and produce high-quality output.
Techopedia explains Digital Darkroom
A digital darkroom, as the name suggests, is basically a digital world for photo editing. Here, the term "darkroom" is used to indicate that the old darkroom printing activities are replaced digitally. In the earlier film-based darkrooms, activities like cropping, enlarging, dodging and burning were performed. In a modern digital darkroom, these activities are replaced by computers, darkroom software, monitors and printers.
Sometimes the printing is done in a professional lab for better results. Some high-end printers also come with pre-installed software for basic image editing. The software and hardware environment of a digital darkroom depends upon the requirement and budget. The common software used in a digital darkroom is for image acquisition, image editing, camera control and image library management. On the hardware side, computers, cameras, scanners and printers are used.

Way back when, bodybuilding's founding father Joe Weider had his eureka moment and created the Mr. Olympia. It was for one reason, to give the bodybuilding elite an avenue to compete after they had won the Mr. Universe title. In 1965 he held his first ever Mr. Olympia contest which was won by the legendary Larry Scott who possessed arguably the greatest pair of arms of all time, a colossal 20 inches, which was unheard of at the time. He would repeat the feat again the following year.
Larry Scott
1967 saw the rise of 'The Myth' Sergio Oliva a true mass monster regardless of the era in which he stood onstage. Oliva had probably the largest waist to shoulder width ratios of any Mr. Olympia competitor in history, barring Brian Buchanan who boasted a 26 inch waist and a 60 inch chest, a real life freak! Sergio would go to win the Olympia title for three consecutive years before he faced the Austrian Oak.
Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1970 ushered in a new era of bodybuilding, a combination of mass, symmetry and conditioning. He would go on to dominate the sport for half a decade and retire in 1975 at 28 years old as a six time Mr. Olympia. After Arnold stepped down, it was time for his training partner Franco Columbu to step up and take the Sandow.
1977 saw the face of bodybuilding change yet again when Frank 'The Chemist' Zane became the fifth man to be crowned Mr. Olympia. At a bodyweight of 190lbs, Zane displayed amazing symmetry and conditioning, the likes of which had never been seen before. He would repeat the feat again in 1978 and '79 before being dethroned by The Oak in Sydney Australia in 1980. As Arnold was preparing for his role as Conan the Barbarian he decided he would throw his hat into the mix for the Mr. Olympia.
Arnold Schwarzenegger At The 1980 Olympia.
Many felt that he had been away from the game for too long and that the athletes had improved too much for Arnold to be truly competitive. Competitors such as Mike Mentzer, who never competed again out of protest, were out classed by Arnold's combination of size, conditioning and symmetry. Many still believe to this day that Arnold shouldn't have won and the 1980 Mr. Olympia will always remain as the most controversial decision in bodybuilding.
1981 was to be a repeat of 1976 when Arnold's best friend and training partner Franco Columbu returned to the stage after a prolonged injury, taking his second Olympia title beating out 'The Golden Eagle' Tom Platz, whom many thought should have been the winner, he finished in 3rd place.
1982 the sport of bodybuilding showed the world just how great a way of life it is when 42 year old Chris Dickerson, who was one of the smallest Mr. Olympia winners ever, stepped onstage in London England weighing in at 189lb and became the 6th man to become Mr. Olympia. The Lion of Lebanon, Samir Bannout weighing in at 200lbs was dry as a bone in front of the Munich, Germany crowd, took home the Sandow being the 7th man to take the title and one of three single title winners.
In 1984 we saw the rise of the of the 'Totalee Awesome' Lee Haney. Haney was the biggest Mr. Olympia we had seen to date, topping the scales at a shredded 250lbs. He would go on to dominate the sport, keeping the Mr. Olympia crown for a record 8 consecutive years. He retired 1991 undefeated as Mr. Olympia.
Lee Haney
Following Haney's retirement, the heir apparent Dorian Yates, who pushed Haney to the Edge the previous year became the 9th man in history to be crowned Mr. Olympia. Yates brought bodybuilding to a whole new level; he was huge and shredded beyond belief. He set a new standard of what it takes to win the Sandow. Dubbed 'The Shadow' as he disappeared after competing and trained in his homeland of England. He would go on to retain his title for a total of six consecutive wins before being forced into retirement due to injury.
1998 was the year when the first runners up over the last six years were to fulfill their destiny and become Mr. Olympia. Shawn Ray, Kevin Levrone, and Flex Wheeler all thought it was now their time to shine and one of them would be taking home the elusive Sandow. However, it was not meant to be. Coming in out of nowhere was Arlington Police officer, Ronnie Coleman. He would be the eventual winner. Just shy of six feet tall weighing in at just under 300lbs he was the biggest man ever to become Mr. Olympia. He would go on to become the most decorated bodybuilder of all time, winning almost every show he entered to add to his eight Mr. Olympia titles.
Ronnie Coleman At The 1998 Mr. Olympia.
2006 was the year when Jay Cutler was to earn sweet revenge over Coleman, to whom he placed second a total of four times. He would successfully defend his Olympia crown in 2007 against stiff competition from Coleman, and the eventual runner up Victor Martinez. But he went on to lose the Sandow in 2008 to Dexter Jackson who became only the 12th man in history to win a Sandow. Jackson stood onstage shredded and dry showing just why he is called 'The Blade'. His reign as Mr. Olympia was short lived and he lost the title again in 2009 to a vastly improved Jay Cutler, who became the first man, to regain the Mr. Olympia title in his all time best ever condition.
2010 sees us with probably the most hotly contested Mr. Olympia's to date. The young up and coming pros such as Phil Heath and Kai Greene, can smell blood and know that the Champ can be taken out. Veterans such as Branch Warren and Victor Martinez know that if they are to become Mr. Olympia it is a case of do or die. Dexter Jackson knows that if he is to prove his win was no fluke, now is the time to step onstage at his best. But will Cutler repeat his condition of 2009, and if he does will it be enough to stave off the hungry lions that want to become one of the greatest bodybuilders in history. This weekend in Las Vegas we will see just who was hungry enough and did what had to be done and step onstage at the Orleans arena ready to take what's theirs. This truly will be the greatest bodybuilding contest of all time.

The Takeaway
Rewriting African-American History
The telling of history is a monumental task and responsibility that all historians hold sacred. Historian Thomas C. Holt has gained prominence as the one of the foremost respected historians of American and African-American History.
Holt says in his new book, "Children of Fire: A History of Afircan Americans," he tried to build the history around a number of critical historical figures, begining with a 17th century slave who managed to gain freedom from slavery all the way through to the 21st century. He says the common thread throughout the book is following individulas who belonged and claimed their belonging in America.

A Plymouth man was arrested after Knox City Police conducted a search warrant at the Super Value Inn in Knox.
Officers obtained information yesterday morning that 41-year-old Johnny Whitt, Jr. was purchasing items used to make methamphetamine at a local store. Later that morning, officers conducted a traffic stop where Whitt was found to be in possession of items used in the manufacture of methamphetamine. They learned that Whitt had been staying at the Super Value Inn and requested a search warrant at that location which was granted.
When they arrived on scene, officers say they noticed a strong chemical-type smell coming from Whitt's room. They located an active meth lab inside the room. Whitt was taken into custody and he is being held in the Starke County Jail for Manufacturing Methamphetamine, Illegal Drug Lab, Possession of Methamphetamine and Possession of Marijuana.
Knox City Police Chief, Clint Norem, wants to remind you that if you suspect drug activity in your neighborhood, contact your local law enforcement agency.

Two years ago, my husband and I both worked full-time as teachers in separate, Ofsted-graded "outstanding", comprehensive schools in middle-class neighbourhoods in Suffolk.
I earned about £32,000 per annum and my husband about £35,000. We had a very comfortable life with our combined income of around £67,000.
In 2008 we decided to start a family. We now have a two-year-old daughter and I am expecting our second child in January. In order to look after our children I decided to forgo career progression and opt to work part time: I now earn £14,000 per annum.
To offset our income deficit my husband took a promotion to a new job in a much tougher school in a deprived part of a much bigger town. He now works in a more stressful environment and works evenings and weekends regularly due to his increased responsibility and workload. His income is now about £47,000 and so he is a higher-rate tax payer. Our combined income is now therefore about £61,000.
Following yesterday's announcements we stand to lose £1,700 per year in child benefit from 2013. This is on top of taking an initial combined pay cut in order for me to bring up our children part-time. We have a large mortgage of around £180,000, costing us £1,100 per month for our modest end terrace house. Neither of us had grants at university and I still owe money on my student loans, despite graduating in 1998. We pay for childcare while I am at work.
Under this new proposed system of child benefit, if I returned to work full-time and earned the £32,000 I did two years ago, our childcare costs would obviously increase, but I would still be better off than I am now. My husband could go back to a less stressful teaching job, earning what he did before, and have more time to spend with his family. We would earn a little under £70,000 again and would keep our £1,700 child benefit.
My question is: how would this benefit our daughter and her unborn sibling?
We would be financially better off, but would the children really benefit from having two full-time working parents? Although neither of their parents would see them much, except at weekends, we would have £1,700 extra per year we could put in a trust fund for them as well as our higher combined wages.
How can the government call this system child benefit at all? We agree that people in our income bracket should be the first to lose child benefit payments, if cuts are to be made. But what we cannot understand is the system being introduced to judge who is deserving. Maybe we should get divorced as our parents possibly should have also done, to have made sure we got student grants under the previous Conservative government in the 1990s?

Location: Foreign Animal Disease Research
Project Number: 8064-32000-057-24-R
Project Type: Reimbursable Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jun 1, 2009
End Date: Dec 31, 2013
The Foreign Animal Disease Research Unit (FADRU) at Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) is the primary USDA laboratory carrying out research on foreign animal diseases (FAD) of livestock, such as foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) that could be accidentally or deliberately introduced into the United States in acts of agro-terrorism. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) PIADC is tasked with developing bio-defense control mechanisms, inclusive of veterinary countermeasures. This collaborative research agreement addresses the threat of an introduction and subsequent outbreak of FMD or other high-consequence FAD and the development of improved countermeasure technologies. This IAA has three objectives all of which address Foot-and-Mouth Disease Countermeasures research gaps: 1- improvement of Ad5-FMDV empty capsid vaccine in cattle; 2- improvement of biotherapeutics against FMDV in cattle and 3- improvement of FMD countermeasures through bioinformatics. 1. Host-Pathogen Interaction will include a) the vector-host interaction of adenoviurus FMD (AdFMD) vaccine in cattle and b) determination of major histocompatibilty complex (MHC) class I and class II restricted FMDV-specific lymphocyte responses following AdFMD vaccination in cattle. Amendment 3: Objective 1 Enhanced: A peptide library and associated equipment to conduct tetramer studies based on predictor FMV peptide binding to dominant Class I and II recombinant molecules will be procured and utilized. These results will be used to better predict the capability of peptide epitopes which can be used to induce an immune response against FMDV. 2. Bioinformatics objective will address knowledge gaps for countermeasures and diagnostic technologies for high consequence FAD, specifically, a) antigenic profiling of FMDV 3D polymerase and evaluation as a candidate for DIVA diagnostic test development and b) identification of bovine Type I interferon with enhanced biotherapeutic potency to control FMDV. 3. Biotherapeutics objective will focus on a) evaluation of Type III interferons as potential biotherapeutics to control FMDV and b) identification of biotherapeutic candidates to control FMDV. Amendment 5: Objective 1 will be expanded to include obtaining the regulatory approval process necessary to complete duration of protective immunity against FMDV infection following vaccination with the newly licensed Ad5FMDV reombinant vaccine outside BSL-3 conditions.
Objective 1a, host-pathogen interaction of the huAd5 vector will be studied by inoculating cattle with huAd5 vectors containing reporter genes or FMDV capsid and tracking its distribution and transgene expression in target tissues such as muscle and regional lymph nodes. The identification and tracking tissue distribution of AdFMD vaccines will be useful for future design and assessment of AdFMD vaccine with increased potency. Objective 1b. ARS, PIADC will utilize the experimental closed Holstein herd from the University of Vermont, to conduct tissue typing analysis of Class I major histocompatibility complex (MHCI) among herd members using PCR developed in collaboration with the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Relevant Class I genes corresponding to animals in the experimental herd will be expressed in E.coli for analysis of peptide binding in vitro. These data will be used to predict peptides of FMDV capsids from strains A24, A22, O1 Manisa and O1 Campos. Amendment 3, Objective 1b Enhanced: To enhance the fidelity of data generated, a robust system to check and confirm the predicting algorithm is warranted to generate a peptide library for the viral protein, P1 region of the FMDV. This library will allow for systematic analysis of the bovine immune responses to confirm the predictions fo the computer and identify peptides that the algorithm might miss. These data will be used to improve the functionality of the predictor program, identifying T cell epitopes which induce immune response. Objective 2a, will be accomplished by sequence analysis and determination of antigenic profiles of FMDV and bovine rhinovirus polymerase proteins and the determination of cross-reactivity between them. Identification and expression of FMDV-specific 3D epitopes by recombinant technologies will be conducted. Proof of concept for specific and sensitivity of ELISA tests will be developed. Objective 2b will be accomplished by cloning and expressing bovine IFNA. The expressed IFNA will be tested for antiviral activity. The bIFNA with the highest activity will be identified. Objective 3a, will be accomplished through identification and cloning of all members of the type III IFN gene family of cattle using Ad5-vectors. Examination of antiviral properties against FMDV will be conducted. Dose-response experiments will be conducted in-vitro. A study of IFN stimulated gene induction and specific type III receptor gene expression by real time RT-PCR and/or microarray analysis, will be conducted to examine gene induction after treatment with type III IFN alone or in combination with other Biotherapeutics. 3.b. will be accomplished by conducting vaccine challenge studies on swine and cattle utilizing different doses of polyICLC in combination with the optimal dose of Ad5-IFNa, and a suboptimal dose of AD5-IFNa. The cellular components of the innate immune response including natural killer cells, dendritic cells will be examined. Based on these studies, the optimal amounts of polyICLC and Ad5-IFNa will be administered to swine and cattle and challenged with FMDV. Amend 3: Obj 2a: include comprehnesive bench standardization of competiive ELISA 3D test.

There is an unnervingly steep escalator at the Broadway Junction subway station in Brooklyn. If you catch yourself thinking about the incline too much, you begin to feel slightly woozy, disoriented and maybe even a little vertiginous. The windows running alongside the escalator are decorated with serenely colorful stained-glass murals, but the station itself, which acts as a transport hub facilitating the Bushwick, Brownsville, Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights neighborhoods, usually feels closer to rowdy than merely bustling. It's a station that's used by the rapper Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire as an anchor for a point of his life in the song in "Chains" on his new Kismet mixtape.
The reference pops up after he's rapped one of those bewitching vignettes that seem like the artist has condensed grand swathes of time and geography into a few compact lines: "For years Mandela sat in that cell and couldn't get no justice / The bougiest of bitches be the quickest to suck dick / Southern comfort, articulate ruffian / Drunk, walking on the platform on Broadway Junction." After that, eXquire delves into a confessional about demons from his past and insecurities about fulfilling his talent in the future. Then comes a chorus about not being shackled: "You'd think we'd had enough of fuckin' chains."
When eXquire zeroes in on Broadway Junction, his words turn captivatingly personal. In a city as monolithic as New York, small references resonate especially warmly. So meeting eXquire in a Bushwick bar while a late-May rainstorm patters off the concrete pavement and mural-emblazoned warehouses outside, I ask him about the station, which is a ten block walk from his old Kingsborough Houses apartment. He says he invoked it as part of a very literal lyric, that he was coming back drunk from a party and waiting for an A train to Utica Avenue. He also wrote his verse on "Chains" while on the train. Then, with some prompting, he tells a grisly anecdote about some of the stranger characters he's seen at Broadway Junction: "I seen a naked lady one time getting on the train with her maxi-pad hanging out, with the string hanging out her vagina, begging for money. I seen this dude one time, he gets on the train bleeding, fuckin' his arm is broke and you see his bone protruding, the train's wobbly and he says, "I have AIDS," and he's stumbling. I'm like, "I don't want that AIDS blood!" That's two wild stories." With that, he lets out a blast of his endearingly cartoonish laugh.
Routing back to "Chains," I ask eXquire if he often writes his songs while on the subway. "Yeah, tapping in my phone, that's usually my little ritual," he says. "There's something about the train that just inspires music. Every song I do, If I don't like it on the train, then it's not good to me. Most of the good music I listen to, I discovered on the train: I discovered EL-P on the train, I discovered Kid Cudi on the train; all the shit that influenced me. That used to be my little therapy; I'd be late for work 'cause I'm listening to songs and I don't want to go in yet, you know what I mean?"
I suggest a few theories: It's often said music resonates more personally while on the train because you're listening through snug headphones. There's also the undulating meter of the train's wheels rattling along. "Yeah, it's headphones, it's a certain ambiance," eXquire says. "It's something." Then he pulls out his iPhone to check the name of the Outkast song he was particularly struck with on today's journey. (It was "Jazzy Belle" from ATLiens.)
There is rhythm in an artist's body of music. You can plot the mood, maturity (and sometimes mental state) of your favorite artist by revisiting the chronological path of their albums. In eXquire's case, he's now arrived at the Kismet juncture, which is characterized by 15 songs that sound like he's settled into a warmer place than he was when he released the brutal (and, to apparently my ears and no one else's, brilliant) Power & Passion EP late last year. That EP was sparse and stripped down in sound and punchy and even a little angsty in terms of lyrics, but there's a pastoral contentment to Kismet. There are still vicious songs about rapping for the unadulterated exhilaration of rapping ("Illest Niggaz Breathin'," with his cousin Goldie Glo), but there's a tenderness typified by the Curtis Mayfield-themed duo of "Cherry Raindrops" and "Vanilla Rainbows": The former opens as a song about a spiritual crush that begins with an exquisitely intimate line about biting a lip; the latter has eXquire rhyming over the same Mayfield song sampled on "Cherry Raindrops," complete with a production credit for the deceased soul man that he says he included simply because the younger generation likely don't know about him. The songs eXquire ear-marks as the "personal" ones, like the character-forming tales of his younger days in "Paper Hearts," showcase him writing from the heart but never frustratedly so.
The idea of working out what makes eXquire tick and what he's about and what he should be about is something that today we end up good-naturedly dubbing the Huzzah Effect. The theory is well-written about by now: eXquire recorded a song called "Huzzah" that, on the surface, was about excess liquor consumption and included the chorus line "drunk driving on a Wednesday." He performed it at open mic spots for a couple of years to muted reaction; then in early 2011 a video for the song began to go viral on YouTube. A remix was cut with what was seen as the cutting-edge of the New York City rap scene (Das Racist, EL-P, Despot) and Detroit's music press prince Danny Brown, who was riding his own crest of hype at the time. Since then, eXquire has released a few mixtapes and an EP, none of which contain songs that are anything like "Huzzah," but people still expect him to record "Huzzah Part Two" or act like the rapper they saw in a YouTube video for "Huzzah." eXquire seems less irked than weary about the Huzzah Effect by now, but rightly points out (not for the first time), "I don't even think people know what the fuck I rap about. So for me, people say I rap about liquor but I probably have one song about liquor in my whole catalog. Most of my songs are probably about women or being sad or being mad, mostly some emotional shit. They want to make cliched boundaries for me."
I ask eXquire what he thinks those cliched boundaries are, what the box that people want to put him in is like. He says, "I don't know my box. My box is weird for me. I think some people get it, some people don't, so my quest now is to put everybody in the same place whether you like it or you don't. I just need you to be on the page. You can hate it, but I need you on the page. I get, "Oh, that sounds like the '90s." I hate that type of music. I grew up on it, that shit is boring to me."
If anything, Kismet sounds like the project that's come closest yet to capturing eXquire's natural voice. His manager and spiritual adviser Ugi calls it "the eXquire starter kit, the new blueprint." Part of the mixtape's appeal is the production which, other than "Chains" being hooked around a two-year-old Georgia Anne Muldrow beat-tape (with her blessings), comes from murky and unchartered areas of the Internet. Dan Freeman, Constrobuz, and Star King are not the usual buzzed about names that pepper mixtape credit listings -- and certainly not the names you'd expect a rapper signed to a major label to work with. Constrobuz, who produced the brooding sort-of-lead-single "Noble Drew Ali" along with two other tracks, comes from North Carolina and boasts a lowly 153 Twitter followers. eXquire says he found him back in the MySpace days after he sent him a beat. He's never met Constrobuz but thinks he looks like "a white kid that wears glasses, like Harry Potter." (He adds that Constrobuz has an open invite to come up to New York to produce on his debut studio album for Universal, and can "do all of it if that's how I feel," but he keeps turning him down, possibly, he suspects, at the bequest of his girlfriend.) He came across Dan Freeman, who produced the emotive "Paper Hearts," while perusing Bandcamp. I joke that at this point it sounds like he literally sits around all day traveling down a Bandcamp wormhole in search of beats. He says he sort of does: "If I'm on the toilet, on my laptop, I'll do that shit. Or I'll check my little email and see if there's any goodies in there. I listen to beats every Thursday. Thursday is toilet beats day."
Many rappers insist they only rhyme over beats that totally fit the tenor of their lyrics, but most times that's bunkum. The cachet of having a big name producer on a song's credit is too strong a lure for most to resist, regardless of whether the beats and rhymes mesh. When eXquire claims it though, he comes off as sincere: "I like working with people who nobody knows rather than having that star-studded, "Oh, he did some shit with Pharrell!" I ain't into that. I mean, I'd do some shit with Pharrell, but I like to cultivate my own sound. I did that earlier, now it's about my own sound." Kismet backs up his decision. The producers he's surrounded himself with have helped teased out a record that, as he puts it, "spiritually moves me." He also promises that another mixtape will follow in a few months (it's 70% complete) as he's comfortably settled into a purple patch of creativity. Kismet suggests eXquire thrives on being a relative fish out of water in the rap world, an artist who prospers by being further away from the trends of the day, someone who clashes with the popular milieu.
I tell eXquire that people seem to want him to be weird. "What is weird though? What's anything?" he retorts. "I mean, we're all out here speaking English but we're all talking a different language at the end of the day. Like if I brought you to my projects no one would understand the fuck you're saying but you'd be speaking English to them; so like, not even like phonetically, but with dialect and your viewpoint. So for me, I'm blessed enough to be able to have different viewpoints when I write records. I've traveled and I've seen shit and I interpret life differently. There are all these weird stereotypical things about me but no facts 'cause nobody listens to the records. I think that's what Kismet was about for me, just giving everybody a reference point." Then, as if suspecting he may have disoriented some with his spiel, Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire adds, "This is what I'm about and it's not hard to like it 'cause I'm a fuckin' genius, you know what I mean?"

FEMA is on high alert for an asteroid impact. (Click above for video)
It is a biblical fact according to the bibles own figures that last days are the last 70 years of the number of years between BC596…to AD70 = 666 yrs the period of time outlined once as a MAN and once as a BEAST in Daniel Ch 2 & 7 respectively .as the time the 7 fold (7 seals/trumps vials) curse of the law of Moses was poured out on the physical seed of Israel purified until only a spiritual seed was left…
This is also how we know slam dunk that Muhammad was a false teacher…just like most "bible teaching Christians"…….THE SECOND COMING Thou Fool! "I come quickly" so "Hold fast till i come"… NOT …"in another 2000 yrs I might be coming soon any time now, so hold fast"!?! …those that deny the second coming of Christ in that first generation are practicing a damnable heresy in denying the lord that bought them ( 2Peter 2:1-2 ;2Tim 4:8)…….Mat 7:23.."I NEVER KNEW YOU" …..Mat 10:33. But whosoever shall deny me before men……..sound familiar?…. ……. If I said I am coming to your house in this generation when these things happen but no one knows the day or hour what fool would think I might be coming in 2000 years latter!?!? ..2 Tim 4: 4. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be TURNED UNTO FABLES.
Gal 1: 8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
The book of Revelation offers us an interesting Theological dilemma. It states Rev 22:16. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. Revelation also states it is "the true sayings" of Jesus and that it is "the testimony of Christ". If this is not "the gospel of Jesus Christ" then what is it and should we consider it accursed testimony of an angel? If it is not to be considered accursed, then it cannot be some other gospel message then what was already given previously. However, this is the conundrum, for if this is the gospel message, then why do so few understand it? There is a possibility which few consider but is the overall thesis of this apology. The reason people don't understand revelation is because they never understood what the gospel message was in the first place! In that case, where does that put those who claim it is not essential for salvation? Do you not find it quite curious that the most "Personally" given NT book By Jesus himself, is the least understood and given the least importance for Salvation in Christendom?….There are numerous preachers and bible exegetes but as Paul said "… I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge" . Most who profess the name of Christ are feeding on doctrines of devils and the ignorant.. There are, without question, many "qualified" teachers and scholars with many years of "dedication" and "solid education". However, teachers, no matter how well lettered or numbered in degrees; if obtained from others; who are just as equally ignorant in such matters, are just " blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."………………
Revelation the First Gospel of the Kingdom
Those looking for a physical return of Christ and your physical body to "leave the dirt" resurrected (1Cor 15:36-37) you are carnal mined & or living in prov 26:12
DAY OF THE LORD"/ YEAR OF THE LORD – does NOT last for 24 hours!?!..Also means the day of resurrection & judgment do not last for one hour or one day either! They only begin (NOT END) in a certain hour & on a certain 24 hour day …."SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS to arise"…..NOT.."come & get (your new resurrected body) it while it is still hot, only 24 hours of solar power left"!?!
The second coming took place already and Christ promised that only HIS PEOPLE would see him ….John 14:19. Yet a little while, and THE WORLD SEETH ME NO MORE;….. [2 Cor 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ AFTER THE FLESH, yet NOW HENCEFORTH KNOW WE HIM NO MORE….(here the Context of John 14 is his second coming)…..continued…..but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20. AT THAT DAY .. 21. He that hath my commandments, and KEEPETH THEM, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and WILL MANIFEST MYSELF TO HIM……(again taking note "as he is" or 1Jn 3:2)
22. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, HOW IS IT THAT THOU WILT MANIFEST THYSELF UNTO US AND NOT UNTO THE WORLD? 23. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, HE WILL KEEP MY WORDS: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.( Rev 3:20) 24. He that loveth me not.. (1Cor 16:22)…. KEEPETH NOT MY SAYINGS: ( REV 9:16-20)
REVELATION 1:7. Behold, HE COMETH WITH CLOUDS; and EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM, …. There is a parallel here with ………….Exodus 24:10. And THEY SAW THE GOD OF ISRAEL : and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. 11. And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also THEY SAW GOD, and did eat and drink………..But Christ said….. John 1:18. NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. A person can see with their understanding and or see with their eyes…. It can see "seen" for certain that everything that Christ described was seen by the folks of that day in His coming but do they perceive that was him? …So what Christ said is true every eye saw him but the world does not see him….. With the eye they and folks still today can see everything Christ described to have taken place, but they do not "keep" ( believe and understand) his words as such they do not see him nor shall they ever.
The saints who have physical died faithful in the flesh (every man in his own order) are changed in the blink of an eye & caught up to sit on that Great white throne ( this congregation of the saints is the body of Christ that folks will answer to at the judgment and these saints will judge all men who cannot see Christ along with the rest of the world……Folks think they are waiting to see Jesus but they will NEVER see Jesus himself they will only see the body of Christ condemn them the saints judge the world (Rev 3:21; 1 Cor 6:2 et al) the saints are the body of Christ…that is the only part of Christ they shall see….only the saints shall see God face to face…..most peoples idea of the second coming & day of the Lord and the judgment is completely wrong
goatsjerk on his insane rant again with massive bullshit–they must give him an hour a day from his padded cell to type this nonsense
you're right…we were the ones left behind.
No they aren't you God damn liar.

MEGAMIND 3-D On matters animated and three-dimensional, I take my cue from the 7-year-old sitting at my right, who got megafidgety about 10 minutes into Megamind, a 3-D superhero story about the villain who — shocking — turns into the good guy. ("Same story as Despicable Me," said the wee one.) To recap: Will Ferrell, as the titular blue meanie with the giant lightbulb noggin, is forever trying to off Brad Pitt's Metro Man, the square-jawed guardian of Metro City. Two aliens shot to Earth from distant, destroyed planets, theirs is a lifelong back-and-forth-and-back-again — Lex Luthor and Superman oughta sue; so, too, Lois Lane, recast as newshound Roxanne Ritchi (and voiced by Tina Fey as Liz Lemon). But early in the film, Megamind offs (but not really) Metro Man (if Brad Pitt spent more than 19 minutes in the recording studio, he's a terrible manager of his time), at which point Megamind takes control of the town and realizes — no — that evil without good to kick around is wasted. So off he goes to pick a new fight with Tighten (Jonah Hill, natch), a superpower even more narcissistic than he, which leads — no — to further disaster, at which point it's Megamind to the rescue. The boy asked me, halfway through: "Is this supposed to be funny?" Dunno, I said. "Because it's not," he said. Nor any fun, either. If nothing else, I found my son's Kryptonite: Boring superhero ripoffs voiced by check-cashing actors. At least Steve Carell used an accent. (Robert Wilonsky) (Citywide)

The MDZ Thread
I really didn't want to do this 'cuz it's more clutter to the front page...
...that's a lie, I really DID want to do this.
When is everybody going to eat crow and acknowledge how good he is?
Best defenseman so far this season.
I like DZ, so I'm not saying this to knock him, but when he plays like this consistently, then he'll get the praise he has earned
Looks like he's taken huge steps during the off-season and lockout. Not only has his offense gotten better, he looks a lot better defensively too.
Great game last night, but prior to that a patchy start.
Very poor with the puck in his own defensive zone particularly around the end boards in our first few games, missed defensive assignments too. Fowards partly responsible for the horrendous breakout play but DZ shoulders some blame too.
Still has the capability to hit the long pass better than most, still can't shoot, always brings effort and plays tough, but doesn't always have enough concentration.
I'm certainly not 'eating crow' although I was never overly critical of Del Zotto in the first place. I look forward to seeing him continue his upward development trend as he approaches the 23-24 age range.
He's been excellent thus far.
I've really liked how he's playing. Confident, and with an edge too; throwing some elbows around and going after people who take cheap shots, but avoiding penalties in the process.
He's getting better all the time. Arguably he could have had the second or third star last night. He definitely did a favor for his pal Boyle last night banking the shot off of him--maybe that will get him going.
Del Zotto seems like the kind of player people are always looking for things to be critical about
Does anyone else think he looks a lot faster? Just seems like a more fluid skater than he was last year.
i always disliked him, but he's matured a lot. he looks confident out there. his mindset looks different. as long as he stays consistent he will easily be one of our best valued guys on the blue. now he just needs to work on that shot and he'll be golden
He can still probably clean up things in his own end but he's also trying to adjust to playing the right side
I will happily eat crow to see DZ play well consistently :)
Yes, our powerplay point who had one whole powerplay goal all of last season.
He has been very good.
Didn't want him at 3+ million yet. He signed a very good contract. And he looks very motivated. More mature so far. His next contract he's going to cash in. The sub 3 million now may help ever so slightly bring the next one down a little.
I want to see Del Zotto and Stralman at the point on the top PP unit.
On a hockey fashion note, I like that he's the only player on the roster that prefers black laces like I do. Lol
Looks like he grew up a lot between seasons. He's going to have a great year IMO.
DZ keep his mouth shut. Newport Sports did his contract. He probably could have forced the issue and gotten more. Like PK Subban. According to Torts,DZ had a very good 6 day camp. So far DZ has been very good. Playing both sides. He led the Rangers in icetime last night with 26:40.
MDZ's good play has partly made up for the less than stellar start by the rest of the D.
2. Bringing up anything about last season makes no sense in a thread aimed at discussing how he has played so far this season. If you want to use that as an argument that he won't continue to play well or something to that effect then that would make some sense. But I fail to see why we should refuse to acknowledge how well he has played just because you didn't like certain aspects of his game last season.
3. Short of a handful of guys in the history of the NHL, every single defensemen has/had flaws or things to improve on.
Our fourth defensemen finished with over 40 points last season as a 21 year old, has four assists in five games so far this season, and our fanbase still finds ways to discredit his value to the team. We get it, he's not Ray Bourque. As soon as some of you can get over that fact and start appreciating Del Zotto - flaws and all- for what he is the sooner you'll stop having to take prozac just to watch a game.
Love his play so far and the fact that he has looked comfortable on the right allowing us to roll the big 4 as the top 2 pairs is huge
HFNYR always had a mob mentality when it comes to MDZ. Unfortunately, the media also spews out garbage on how he isn't a complete defender and how he should be traded along with X for Y star player.
He's been absolutely amazing both offensively and defensively. Even with his good play we continue to struggle on the powerplay though :p:
Last season made me like MDZ a lot more. As for this season, his demand that a contract get done so that he could play makes me see him as a team-first guy, especially for a team with such a young blueline as the Rangers. Del Zotto could easily be a 2 or 3 on another team, but the Rangers' defense is that good.
That said, I still see MDZ as a second-pair D-man and PP quarterback.

Thanks for helping!
Old time supper club with great service and excellent food. We love celebrating special times like birthdays here with our family, Steaks are top quality and salads always fresh with great dressing.
Prime rib was as good as you'll find at Mannys or Capital Grill, especially for the price. Decor is pretty dated.
We come here either Friday or Saturday as our date night have for the last couple years. Always consistent, friendly and enjoyable. My husband eats the prime rib I switch around with there seafood....always great!
Walleye real good on Sunday . Our party had 11 people. Steaks were happily eaten. Salads fine. Younger family members all had French fries and they were not too bad. BBQ sauce on ribs not a favorite of the children either.
This place has the best food! I love the fish and shrimp alot! My husband loves their ribs and steak. Its a place that you will go back too!
What a great place this is. Had never been before and so made reservations since we were going to be in the area. Reservations are a must. This place is huge, but packed. The staff is also extraordinarily efficient in getting you in and getting you out. I had the prime rib and was very satisfied. Done to perfection and...
This is a place that will step you back in time just a bit. Sinply decorated but delicous food. We've been long time customers and are never disappointed. The food is always excellent. Make a reservation to ensure you can get in when you want.
You will not find a better old fashioned meal in or around the metro. The prime rib is the best ever! So tender and tasty. This place has the relish tray and bread basket before your meal and then the typical entree with tators and veggies with your choice of meat. Seriously type the prime rib! Their creamy horse radish...
Our client suggested this place, and I was shocked at how good it was. A throw back to the old school places of my childhood from the relish tray down to the 70's style after dinner drinks ! Variety was fantastic and quality was great. I've eaten at places all over the US and few stand out like this one...
And our entrees were pretty good. Just a couple things that could have been better... mixed greens in salad ( it was all iceberg), butter was cold, and the bread was nothing too special. For the prices , I would have expected these things to be a bit more top notch. Overall good service and food.

I'd like to know if the restaurant can handle a group of 50-60 on a Saturday afternoon.
I have a great question. Can you handle a group of say 50-60 on Saturday, July 25th around 2:00-2:30 PM?

The Monarch and the Swallowwort
A sonnet about a butterfly and a plant.
Mid winter freeze, a lonely sweet perennial
rides the breeze that chills her open spiracles.
The journey long, the milkweed worth its cost to her,
she gratefully sticks out her ovipositor.
Then flies away, her eggs to wake in springtime,
to feast on this alluring purple milkweed.
She doesn't know the secrets of the swallowwort...
This beautiful, invasive Spanish import
which poisons tiny princes upon hatching.
They eat the leaves and die a larva thrashing.
The queen, unknowing, dooms them to extinction,
powerless to make such a distinction.
How sinister of that black swallowwort
to masquerade as any other milkweed.

Hell of Richmond
A civil war Major-general makes an unearthly pact, which condemns the USA to a life time of hell
August 29th - 30th 1862, Richmond, Kentucky, and the day the tide was turned..Sitting alone, in his tent, Major-General William 'Bull' Nelson surveyed the battlefield below from his viewpoint on the surrounding hills, Nelson could see all that was happening.
Having taken over from the wounded Mahlon Dickerson Manson, and with troops fighting themselves to a standstill, neither side having a tactical or numerical advantage, Nelsons' command looked tenuous at best, he had been told to hold Richmond at al costs.
'Mahlon, how we can we hold this position ?' he asked the former commander. 'Damn those Yankee sharpshooters, picking us off at will, we daren't move out, and yet here we are trapped and getting picked off, they cut the supplies, and the men are dropping with hunger and thirst in this heat.'
Mahlon looked at the man who was replacing him, the large form blocking the tent flaps.
'Grants' orders are clear Bull, hold Richmond, he did not say how.'
'Sure, but they are getting supplied as we starve, and run out of ammunition. Sooner or later we will be overrun.'
'This is not the Bull Nelson, everyone fears is it ?'
'Usually, I can see a way forward and rush to take the advantage, here it is stalemate, or a slow death.'
At the edge of his vision, Nelson saw a dark shadowy figure, ashen complexion thin body with spindly fingers, and long thick nails twisted and gnarled..
'Did you see that Mahlon.' Bull asked.
'Sure I did, Bull, been seeing him and his like all day around the bodies, taking a sip from their necks, just don't know what in the name of God they are.'
'Damn well gives me the creeps it did there.'
'We hold the town Bull, so can outlast those Yankees.'
'Reckon we can that, Mahlon.'
The grey figured approached the 2 men and said: 'I am afraid, you are both wrong gentlemen.'
'And just who are you, and how the blazes do you know that.'
'Although of no importance my name is Nosferatu, as for how I know we have many names, but all cultures know of us, some call us vampire, others the undead.. But all know we are timeless and I have travelled back from your future to this day.'
'Saying we believe you, which we don't.' Bull said. 'How can you help turn this stalemate.'
'Before I tell you, you know there is a price and you might not like it.. So before I tell you my plans, I will tell you what will happen if you don't accept.'
'This ought to be a darn good tale.' Mahlon chided 'coming from the future to tell us what will happen now, next thing he will say is we will lose this battle.'
'Exactly, my friend, that is what will happen.'
'And just how is that going to happen, both sides are matched equally, so nobody has a larger army to move ?'
'You may hold the town, but you are cut off, with your back to the river, this is a very good defensive position, with the hills, but you are still trapped.' they grey figure pointed out.
'Got ya there Bull.' Mahlon commented. 'So how are we going to lose when we have armies the same size ?' Bull chided the strange and eerie figure.
'As you said, they are picking you off like rats in a barrel, you cannot go and take them on, tomorrow they will launch an early artillery attack, and follow that with a charge on your right flank.'
'Sounds a good Yankee ploy that, Mahlon.' Bull remarked.
'And then what ?' Bull queried.
'Being harassed, you will mount a charge through the cemetery, get held back and then pushed back to Rogersville, where your troops will get captured.'
'NEVER !' shouted Bull Nelson. 'My fine troops in their hands, don't know who the hell you are, but sound like a God damned Yank to me.'
The grey figure bent low over the men, stooping its long thin, spindly back it said:
'No, I am for neither side, but you MUST have my help or this night will be remembered for the wrong reasons, for your side.'
'Oh. I MUST have your help !' Nelson screamed at this abomination. 'and why is that ?'
'If you don't this night will be remembered for all times, as the night that Richmond fell.'
'Bull, you know what this means don't you ?' Mahlon shivered at the thought, despite the oppressive heat in the tent.
'Yup, if we fall the way is open for Lexington and Frankfort, our troops cut to pieces and separated from supply lines, we will lose the whole flank, if we fail.'
'Still don't believe a damn word this thing says, Mahlon.'
'You don't have to. Look around you at your men, weak with hunger, lacking energy, soon you will be forced to try and break free, and then…'
'Yes, you said, Richmond, then Lexington and Frankfort will fall quickly as the Yanks march through. Just need time to think.' Bull Nelson said.
'That ain't you Bull, you got a reputation for charging right in.' Mahlon queried.
'True, but this is different those are battles, here we are talking of the whole of this Union flank being torn apart, towns we love being handed over.'
The creature looked at Bull Nelson, and said with a voice full of loathing: '
Time unfortunately, is the one thing you do not have, as the sunsets, so does your chance of turning the day ahead, decide you must and quickly.'
Standing there bent over with long fingers and dark nails, shrouded in grey, skin the colours of dried parchment, the sight of the creature was enough to chill the blood of any mortal soul.
'You say, if I refuse your offer we lose here, Lexington and Frankfort fall, and this is known as the night that Richmond fell.'
'IF, and that is a big if, I accept your offer, you claim to be able to turn this our way. How ?
'That I will not say, until you decide to accept or refuse my help. So I know payment is due. And you wont just take my plan and use it to win.'
'Seems we are in a bind here.' Mahlon commented. 'He knows we will lose IF we refuse, but wont tell us how to win, unless we accept his offer, and we don't even know it yet.'
Nelson took but a few seconds before saying: 'Ok, you have us, I accept, what price ?'
'The price is. No matter how futile the battle, how drawn out it gets, you have to keep on killing each other, so my people can feed on the corpses, and our strength grow amongst your dead. As we take control of their bodies.'
'God almighty Bull, what have you agreed to now !'
'I know Mahlon, but it was this or seeing the damned Yankee flag flying in our cities. Ok, we give in, what is the plan then. ?' Nelson said, total resignation showing clearly now.
With the contempt of these mere mortals seething through his broken teeth as he whispered the plan, this hideously malformed creature continued:
'Under cover of darkness, move the troops of the 55th Infantry Regiment that are on the right flank, which is where the artillery will hit soon, to your centre, when the cavalry charge the area where they think there are only a few survivors, they will be met with cannon fire from Lieutenant Lanpheres' artillery and halted..
This will mean the infantry cannot march on the flank, you hold that position with the 16th Infantry Regiment. Then as the fight gets intense on the flank you drive the 55th, 66th and 71st Regiments up the road between MacCrays' and Hills' troops, causing a split force, and ensuring your triumph.'
After considering the strategic evaluation of the plan, Nelson ordered the movement, silently under cover of darkness, the 55th moved to the centre of the line.
'You know, Bull, this could work.' Manson said.
'Sure hope so, or I just sold my soul to that thing, for nothing.'
As night fell, the cannons roared loud, just as foretold they hit the right flank where the 55th should have been, a couple hours of constant artillery rounds, and then silence.
The next thing to be heard was the sound of hooves as the predicted cavalry charge approached, then the sound of the Union cannons as they tore through the charge, Lanpheres' meagre 6 guns had done their role, the cavalry was halted, the position held.
The 16th Indiana moved slowly forward to engage their foe, who were now fighting a holding position, as from their other flank the could see the 55th, 66th and 71st regiments cutting through the middle and splitting the forces at the hill.
As the sharpshooters tried to contain one flank with an accurate volley, the 95th, Ohio Regiment, held back until now led a charge on their position, with two fields of fire now the shooters effectiveness lessened, and the were turned, their flank cracked open now the Confederate troops in turmoil, Kirby Smiths' planned victory now in ruins as Cleburne could only hold a losing flank position here with little support, and the cavalry charge by Scott that was supposed to hold the enemy right before the infantry went in, torn apart by cannons.
Seizing the moment Nelson ordered a cavalry charge through the middle and routed the opposition, Cleburne was pushed back, Richmond held, and Lexington and Frankfort saved as the Union marched on through Kentucky, banners held high, grateful citizens cheering their troops on.
'We did it, Bull.' Manson said 'Saved Richmond and this flank.'
'But as what costs, look out there at those things, Mahlon, what did I do. Those men, even the Yankees, much as I hate their living souls, died for a cause, and now I have enslaved them for a lifeless eternity.'
Union, Confederate, black, white, rich or poor it mattered little as the dead have no allegiances, as the grey shadowy figures moved amongst the dead, feasting on the rotten carcasses, and watching as more rose up.
All around was the stench of rotting flesh, as the corpses came to life, their flesh hanging in shreds from broken, ragged bones.

text: 000 FXUS63 KMKX 251038 AFDMKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 538 AM CDT Thu May 25 2017 .AVIATION(12Z TAFS)... IFR/MVFR CIGS across southern Wisconsin will steadily improve through the morning hours. Most of southern Wisconsin should see CIGS lift to VFR levels by the noon hour, or 17z. It appears the lake shore areas will improve quickly than inland areas. VFR conditions will then remain in place through the TAF period. Look for the northerly winds to diminish through the day. && .PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 301 AM CDT Thu May 25 2017) Friday and Saturday...Forecast confidence is medium. A weak frontal boundary will approach the region associated with low pressure well to the north. Weak warm air advection ahead of this and shortwave activity moving through a mid level ridge and supports a chance for showers. A weak low moving south of the state will also bring precip chances. On Saturday mid level flow will be southwesterly and another shortwave will move through. A weak frontal boundary will be in place as a surface low will move south of the state later Saturday and overnight. Models differ on how much precip will clip the region. There is some elevated instability so will keep mention of chance thunder. Sunday through Tuesday...Forecast confidence is medium. Cyclonic flow will dominate at the surface and mid levels. Several lobes of vorticity will rotate through the region as the mid level low moves from Canada to the Upper Great Lakes. The pressure gradient will tighten up somewhat and 850 flow increases. Steep low level lapse rates will promote mixing and breezy winds. Instability becomes surface based but there is lack of any organized synoptic forcing right now. Wednesday and Thursday...Forecast confidence is medium. The GFS shows the upper low moving off to the east but the ECMWF lingers it and keeps bringing shortwave troughs through the region. Surface high pressure will finally take hold by Thurs as the upper low moves east. AVIATION(06Z TAFS)... Expect areas of low clouds to persist into the morning as low level winds gradually diminish and low level rh remains high. There will be a mix of MVFR/IFR cigs through mid morning. Conditions should lift to VFR levels by late morning and remain there through the remainder of the TAF period. Northerly winds will gradually subside today as a narrow high pressure ridge builds into the area. MARINE... A small craft advisory will remain in place through 3 pm south of Milwaukee.

UPDATE 2-Valeant stock falls as report of criminal probe adds to woes
(Adds Papa comments from TV interview, updates stock)
NEW YORK Aug 11 (Reuters) - Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc shares fell about 11 percent on Thursday as new details about a criminal investigation into the drugmaker reignited investor concerns about the company's past business relationship with a mail-order pharmacy that sold its products.
News of the investigation, reported by the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, was a setback to the Canadian company's efforts clean up its image, with some in the market concerned it could face penalties and may have to pay more to borrow as it renegotiates debt.
After the article was published, Valeant said in a statement it had disclosed it was being investigated by the U.S. Attorney's Office in October and that it continued to cooperate with that probe.
Concern about other investigations, which focused on its drug pricing and accounting practices, had already cut its share price by about 90 percent in one year.
The stock had gained 25 percent on Tuesday after Chief Executive Officer Joseph Papa, who joined in May, outlined a plan to sell assets, pay down debt and focus on dermatology, consumer and Bausch & Lomb eyecare.
Lawyers at the U.S. Attorney's Manhattan office are probing whether Valeant obscured from insurers its relationship with a specialty pharmacy, Philidor Rx, that helped inflate its drug sales, the Journal reported on Wednesday, citing sources.
The investigation could lead to criminal charges against former Philidor executives and Valeant as a company, the report added.
Laval, Quebec-based Valeant's U.S.-listed shares were down $2.91 at $24.41. It peaked at $263.81 a year ago. Continued...

Danish research is behind a new epoch-making discovery, which may prove decisive to future brain research.
The level of salts in the brain plays a critical role in whether we are asleep or awake. This discovery may be of great importance to research on psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia and convulsive fits from lack of sleep as well as post-anaesthetization confusion, according to Professor Maiken Nedergaard.
Salts in our brain decide whether we are asleep or awake. For the first time, researchers have shown that the level of salts in our body and brain differ depending on whether we are asleep or awake. A new study from the University of Copenhagen reveals that by influencing the level of salts, it is possible to control a mouse's sleep-wake cycle. The research has just been published in the scientific journal, SCIENCE.
"These salts play a much larger and much more decisive role than hitherto imagined. The discovery reveals a completely new layer of understanding of how the brain functions. First and foremost, we learn more about how sleep is controlled. It may, however, also open up for a better future understanding of why some people suffer convulsive fits when staying awake all through the night," says Professor Maiken Nedergaard from the Center for Basic and Translational Neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen.
"Gamifying psychological interventions successfully could revolutionize how we treat mental illness and how we view our own mental health."
Playing a science-based mobile gaming app for 25 minutes can reduce anxiety in stressed individuals, according to research published in Clinical Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
The study suggests that "gamifying" a scientifically-supported intervention could offer measurable mental health and behavioral benefits for people with relatively high levels of anxiety.
"Millions of people suffering from psychological distress fail to seek or receive mental health services. A key factor here is that many evidence-based treatments are burdensome — time consuming, expensive, difficult to access, and perceived as stigmatizing," says lead researcher Tracy Dennis of Hunter College.
"Given this concerning disparity between need and accessibility of services, it is crucial for psychological researchers to develop alternative treatment delivery systems that are more affordable, accessible, and engaging."
That's where the mobile app comes in.
The game is based on an emerging cognitive treatment for anxiety called attention-bias modification training (ABMT). Essentially, this treatment involves training patients to ignore a threatening stimulus (such as an angry face) and to focus instead on a non-threatening stimulus (such as a neutral or happy face). This type of training has been shown to reduce anxiety and stress among people suffering from high anxiety.
In the study, about 75 participants — who all scored relatively high on an anxiety survey — were required to follow two characters around on the screen, tracing their paths as quickly and accurately as possible.
After playing the game for either 25 or 45 minutes, the participants were asked to give a short speech to the researchers while being recorded on video — an especially stressful situation for these participants.
The videos revealed that participants who played the ABMT-based version of the game showed less nervous behavior and speech during their talk and reported less negative feelings afterward than those in the placebo group.
"Even the 'short dosage' of the app — about 25 minutes — had potent effects on anxiety and stress measured in the lab," explains Dennis, who co-authored the study with Laura O'Toole of The City University of New York. "This is good news in terms of the potential to translate these technologies into mobile app format because use of apps tends to be brief and 'on the go.'"
The researchers are currently investigating whether even shorter stints of play – similar to how we normally play other smartphone games — would have the same anxiety-reducing effect.
"We're examining whether use of the app in brief 10-minute sessions over the course of a month successfully reduces stress and promotes positive birth outcomes in moderately anxious pregnant women," Dennis says.
While it's unclear whether this app would produce mental health benefits in those with clinically-diagnosed anxiety, it does present a compelling case for gamified ABMT acting as a "cognitive vaccine" against anxiety and stress. The researchers believe that apps could eventually be developed to assist in the treatment for other mental health disorders, such as depression or addiction.
"Gamifying psychological interventions successfully could revolutionize how we treat mental illness and how we view our own mental health. Our hope is to develop highly accessible and engaging evidence-based mobile intervention strategies that can be used in conjunction with traditional therapy or that can be 'self-curated' by the individual as personal tools to promote mental wellness," Dennis concludes.
