You're watching an entertaining as make-believe interview by the cherub like Young Jack Thriller and he says, "Go headbutt a knife!" You can't help but laugh out loud. In a land of superlative characters roaming the Hip Hop hills, Jack stands out for his old school adherence to telling the truth. The maestro of ThisIs50 is a mixture of Bernie Mac and a pit bull, both dangerous, but not as the punch line he's about to serve up, ice cold.
"Was it Professor Xavier who was the X-Man that could get into people's mind and make them do what they didn't want to do?" asks the hyperbolic, Thriller. Well, yes and no. Professor Charles Xavier had a strict policy on killing; Jack has a policy on leveling everything in sight. He never comes off as anything less than hilarious, his glass eye darting around with a star in full display. If there were a real life X-Man in the blogging space, it would be him. And we'd line up to watch him work, then, as much as we do now.
Always engaging and raucously honest, Young Jack Thriller is the creator of his own lane. A comedian/blogger/Battle Rap enthusiast/headline killer, the originator of 16 or Better is clearing the way for aspiring rappers to get their shot, albeit for a nominal fee. But as Jack says, "Why wouldn't you invest in yourself?" He did, and it landed him in places he never thought he'd be like MTV's Wild 'N Out with Nick Cannon, red carpets galore, and more. Here, he relates his reactions to the biggest headlines of 2014 exclusively for HipHopDX, including, the elevator incident heard round the world, Mayweather vs. T.I., and how he knows Tupac is still alive. It's all happening.
Why Jack Thriller Says Solange Is An Ungrateful Bitch For Kicking Jay Z
HipHopDX: Your saying, "Go headbutt a knife," was that off the top, or is that a joke you do?
Jack Thriller: It's something I've been doing maybe three years now. You know, sometimes… You ever imagine killing somebody before? Or having enough power to make somebody kill themself? Was it Professor Xavier who was the X-Man that could get into people's mind and make them do what they didn't want to do? That's the X-Man I would want to be. Not Wolverine where the knives come out. I don't wanna get my outfit dirty, you know slitting somebody's throat and that nonsense. I just wanna be able, "Go head butt a knife. Now." And you go do that shit. "Hey, go jump off the top of the HipHopDX building, right now, head first, like you are an Olympic swimmer." Yeah. I would like to be able to control your mind.
HipHopDX: I want to ask you your reaction to some of the top stories that we've had on the site this year, some of the top stories in Hip Hop. So I'm gonna throw out a headline and then you give me your reaction. "Solange attacks Jay Z in elevator."
Jack Thriller: Man, I think that Solange is a very, very, very blessed person because Jay Z is one of the coolest assholes in the game. Jay Z is such a businessman to the point where he know he's always being watched. And with Solange, I feel like she's a very ungrateful bitch, 'cause her whole career is derived off of her sister's career, they say of Jay Z and what not. So no matter, whatever he doing with Beyonce that's foul, Solange shouldn't have no goddamn opinion on it, 'cause nobody wouldn't even be checking for her, if she wasn't Beyonce's sister. So how dare she put her hands on him? Jay Z deserved a moment where he could just tell her, "Go headbutt a knife. Right now. Jump off the top of the HipHopDX building. Right now. Bitch, please. Got 99 problems and Solange ain't one. If you having Solange problems, I feel bad for you, son. Headbutt a knife, bitch. Drink this rat poison. Right now. And say my name, say my name if anybody's around you. Say, 'Nigga, I'm sorry' if you ain't running game." But, yeah, I would kick the field goal right off in Solange fucking head, myself.
I'm not one of those guys… Like, it ain't no reason to ever put your hands on a woman in public. But off camera, nigga? Solange deserved it right there. I would'a gave her the fucking business. I would'a headbutted her and all that shit. And I would've killed the dude who turned in that video inside. That elevator video should've never came out. That should've never came out. Who is that guy? And I heard he got $250,000 for that video, too. Do you know how fast $250,000 like can be—what would you call it—diminished? Pro-plenished? Not replenished, 'cause replenished means you got it back. But diminished. It was diminished, wasn't it? Real talk, if you get $250,000 and you buy $10,000 worth of lottery tickets, one of the motherfuckers might be on point, or at least seven of 'em. Nevermind, he came up. He deserved that. But he still needs his ass kicked inside of an elevator, too.
Jack Thriller Recalls Meeting Suge Knight; Says Tupac Is Alive
HipHopDX: "Suge Knight says Tupac is still alive"
Jack Thriller: I think Tupac is still alive. I really don't think Tupac even got shot, 'cause Suge Knight is so goddamn big, so he just has a lot of girth. It's to the point where I just cannot imagine him missing all them goddamn bullets. I don't believe nobody's just that good of a shot. Tupac got to still be alive. He gotta. And if anybody know, Suge knows, 'cause if somebody was dead, you wouldn't be speaking on no shit like that. Or is Suge Knight one of them OJ Simpson motherfuckers that's too stupid for his own good? I think Tupac's alive and he probably working at goddamn Costco's or some shit over in El Segundo. That money got to be gone. Yeah, I think he's definitely alive, and I believe Suge. Suge gon' tell us where he at. Suge is gonna tell us, 'cause he keep on snitching about this shit. He gonna tell us where he at. I believe every fucking thing Suge says for some reason, 'cause he ain't got no reason to say it. The light ain't been on Suge in a long time.
Hey, Suge called me about two months ago. No bullshit. I swear to God, he called me. I had a bad-ass little thot over at my house. We was kicking it and shit, and the phone rings, and I say, "Hey, what's up?" He's like, "Hey, this Suge." I'm like, "Suge, who?" He said, "The Suge. Who you think it is?" I said, "Suge Knight?" He was like, "Yeah, this Suge Knight." And he sound like the motherfucker that I had heard on TV for a long time. I'm like, "Aw this is Suge Knight on my phone." He must've seen my Tupac interviews. So I'm trying to stay hard on the phone and whatnot. I don't know what he wants from me, 'cause there was one interview that I had said, "Yeah, I think Suge killed Tupac." I thought that's what he was calling me about, [and I thought] he was gonna kill me. He was right outside my door, and I got one of them apartments where it's only one way in and one way out. So while I was on the phone with him, I would put mattresses and dressers and stuff by the door. I asked him, "Yeah, what's going on, man? How you doin'?" And he was like, "Yeah, I wanna catch a meeting with you." And I say, "Where you at?" He said, "L.A., over by the Staples Center. Let's go and get lunch tomorrow." I said, "In the daytime? OK, cool. That's cool. Man, look I can meet you over by this police station that's not too far away from the W Hotel if you wanna go over there and have this meeting and stuff." And then he was like, "A'ight, we can do that." I told him I had to check my schedule tomorrow and hit him back." We never got together, 'cause I never could get over the fact that I think he might be trying to kill me—especially if he asked me if I needed a ride to the place and whatnot. That's a person that you don't want to take that last ride with. Can you imagine me in the same place 'Pac was, looking out the window like this? That's the last shot and you see me with him in the driver's seat. I'm not getting in the car with Suge. I'm gonna meet him there.
How Jack Thriller Lost His Job Hosting Eminem's "Total Slaughter"
HipHopDX: Joe Budden and Hollow Da Don battle at Total Slaughter
Jack Thriller: Man, this is what I wanted to talk about, too. I don't know if y'all know, but I was supposed to host the shit, right? Can I start from there before I get there? They called me one night like, "Yo, you know, Eminem about to do this Battle Rap show, man and we want you to be one of the hosts on the show." They told me I had the job and all that. Ain't nothing good happened to me that goddamn big. I got excited. So immediately after I got off the phone with them, I went and found a picture of me and Eminem, and I posted it up on Instagram at about 4:00 in the morning. I couldn't sleep. This was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. This had to be January 18, 2014, man. Nothing good ever happens to me. Not like this. Did I deserve it? Yes, I did. I posted it up and it went viral. I didn't even promote it. All I did was just post a picture on Instagram. Shady Records hit me up at 11:00 a.m. We still in the a.m. on this day. [They said], "What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you fucking out of your mind? The fuck is wrong with you? You didn't even sign a contract yet. Slaughterhouse and everybody is going crazy. People think it's your show and Eminem's show. This has nothing to do with you. You know what, can you go back online and say that you was just playing? But it's a possibility that we might not be able to use you for the show."
So, you want me to go tell a lie and then tell people that I was just bullshitting about a job I might not get? You gotta be shitting me. Fuck that. I left that shit up there. And as you can see, I still didn't get the job. They had Sway and Kay Slay do it, and they did a great job and shit. Would it have been better if it was me? Yes. But that's neither here nor there.
But Joe Budden, Hollow Da Don, battle rapper versus rapper? Man, Joe was really, really out of his element in that particular situation. He's a big Battle Rap fan and whatnot, but you have to respect those people, man. It's just like when people come up to me and me being a comedian, and they saying, "Yo, I could do what you do." Oh, yeah, it look easy enough when you ain't walking to that stage. But once you get there, what you gonna do? When you gotta make a gang of people laugh, and they don't even know who you are—perfect strangers. It's not like being around your friends. It's not like being around your fans, inside Joe Budden's situation. You're not around your fans and people that like you already. These are Battle Rap fans. They're the most unforgivable fans in the world, and they don't care about nothing but bars.
Jack Thriller Debates Joe Budden & Hollow Da Don's Battle Effort
DX: Do you think he lost by that big of a margain?
Young Jack Thriller: Joe Budden made a valiant effort. He did a bitch move by putting that mic down and quitting and shit…you know for a hot second. You can't never let them see you sweat. The bars that he did, they were average than a motherfucker. Hollow showed up, but on the same token, did Hollow really go in on him? I would give outta, from one to 100, I'd give Hollow did 67% of his job. You know why? 'Cause he knew he was gonna beat this motherfucker. Joe Budden, do I commend him for even taking the shit? Yeah, I do, but from one to 10, Joe Budden's about a three. He was some good garbage that night. He was some good garbage. He was regular than a motherfucker. Did I think he win one round? No. He had some funny things he said in between and shit, but it was just too much shit to talk about him about: from getting punched by Raekwon, the Tahiry shit. Then Hollow fucked me up one time when he had said something about goddamn Tahiry when he was like, "Don't you ever hit a bitch again, duh duh duh duh." I thought he was fucking Tahiry then. Then, he followed the shit up with, "Yo, her booty sagging and the bitch is ran down and she fucked a whole bunch of niggas and shit." I was like "Ooh, this motherfucker's disrespectful. He don't give a fuck."
And that's what I love about Hollow. Hollow even said something about Paul Rosenberg, in the front, about fucking him over with the money and shit. Classic. He did it. Man, let me take that 67% up to 75%. He did his thing. He could've been better. 'Cause I know Hollow Da Don on a personal level, and I've seen him key motherfuckers that was way greater than Joe Budden. Like I said, Joe Budden's not a battle rapper, so you can't really fault him for that shit.
And then I hear a lot of people saying that Joe Budden is over, or it's over for Joe Budden now. No it ain't. We seen him get punched in the eye. He came back. We seen him do Love & Hip Hop, look crazy as fuck. He came back. There's no way you can make Joe Budden look bad. No way. Joe Budden's a Hip Hop cartoon character. Anything goes in his career. All he gotta do is just keep on being seen, keep on putting itself out there and getting himself a chance to stay relevant. He gonna be a'ight. And he's a dope rapper, too, but he sucked a big dick in Total Slaughter. It was bad.
Total Slaughter as a whole, can I speak on that? Total Slaughter as a whole, as far as the event went, I think it's amazing. I was on the phone with Busta Rhymes, Murda Mook and N.O.R.E. the next day. We was talking about the Loaded Lux, Mook battle and shit, and we talked about the battle overall. Busta made a dope-ass point about how—even though none of the battles was that dope—it still was a great move for Battle Rap as a whole to be showcased on Pay-Per-View where people can order it on TV. So now, I challenged everybody that's battle rapping, get a hold of yourself. Don't let the hype go to your head. 'Cause I've seen a lot of battle rappers, after the Loaded Lux, Calicoe battle, the shit went commercial. Motherfuckers got famous, and they was talking about they deserve this money and that money and dah, dah, dah. But when they did, the bars got weaker and weaker. The hunger got diminished a little bit; just the popularity of the culture and the talent level was getting unbalanced. And so I just, like I said, I challenge all the Battle Rappers to step that shit up. Too many motherfuckers choked on the show, but it's a dope show. But I think it's time to bring a whole new grade of battle rappers in…the people that are more hungry. Everybody on that show, gone ahead and let them be elders and bring the new guys in. Let's see who the new Murda Mooks is. Let's see who the new Loaded Luxes are. Let's see who the new Hollow Da Don is. You're gonna love 'em. They dope. They just ain't have that platform. And I think Total Slaughter's gonna be a great platform for that. Do I wanna see another rapper battle a battle rapper? Yes, I do. Who would I love to see? You didn't ask me this. Can I answer that? Now that Hollow Da Don on top, let's give him somebody a little bit more of a challenge, a little bit more of a…
Why Jack Thriller Wants King Los & Lloyd Banks To Join Battle Rap
HipHopDX: King Los?
Jack Thriller: Woo! King Los and Hollow Da Don. I'd love to see that. You know what's different about Hollow Da Don? He can take anything that's inside this room right now and make a dope-ass freestyle out about it. I've seen him do it on many different occasions. Hollow Da Don and King Los—they're a match made in heaven. I wanna see Hollow Da Don and King Los battle it out next Total Slaughter. I wanna see Mistah F.A.B. Mistah F.A.B. is a dope-ass improvisational rapper. I would love to see him inside Total Slaughter. He deserved to be.
There was a couple of motherfuckers on Total Slaughter who was not supposed to be there. Can I say their names? I didn't wanna see Cortez on Total Slaughter. I didn't wanna see Math Hoffa on Total Slaughter. Big T my man, but I didn't wanna see him on there. You know why? 'Cause I beat Big T. Who else I didn't wanna see on there that was on there? Daylyt? Argh! I wanted to see Daylyt on Total Slaughter, but Daylyt dropped the ball on Total Slaughter. Like even when I got fired from Total Slaughter, Daylyt even put me inside one of his rhymes on Total Slaughter when he versed Arsonal. And he said, "I'm coming after all you wack niggas / It was over before it even started / Jack Thriller." Like it was over for me before the show even started. And that's what he said. Yeah, he did great on there. Daylyt fucked up on that show. He could've still did the antics and shit. He could've still did the skit, but you gotta do that shit at the end of your shit. You gotta do that the last 30 seconds. You gotta have bars before that. That's the only reason why you fucked up, 'cause you didn't put the bars in line on that Total Slaughter. And that's why you lost. You're dope as fuck. Daylyt is gonna be the future of battle rap. He's gonna be the Stone Cold Steve Austin/The Rock. He takes chances, and he's not afraid. He's gonna win. I wanna see him back on there.
I would love to see Daylyt battle… Lloyd Banks. It sounds unorthodox, but we haven't seen Lloyd Banks in a minute, but one thing we do know about Lloyd Banks is that he's a marksman. He has great improvisational skills. He's a freestyler. And I think that he could stand up inside of that shit. And he know how to get at motherfuckers. Remember what he said about Master P and the motherfucking No Limit shoes? Yeah, "The Punchline King." I'd love to see him battle. Who else that actually show up to them battles? Who? Damn. Who's a dope-ass freestyle motherfucker? Cassidy. You're not doing shit in your career right now, get inside battle rap. That's what's gonna resurrect you from the dead. Cassidy.
HipHopDX: Where does Lupe Fiasco fall?
Jack Thriller: Lupe Fiasco is from Chicago, right?
HipHopDX: Yeah. Where does he fall in your rank? Would you like to see him? He went at Dizaster on Twitter.
Jack Thriller: He went at him on Twitter, but I ain't heard him rap against nobody before. I never heard him. It's one thing to say something or call somebody out, but it's a different thing to goddamn lyrically assassinate them. Even Canibus—when he went at LL Cool J—I was probably like 13 or 14 when that shit happened. And I was at home like, "That shit was wack." And this was me at 14. Then when he actually came to Battle Rap and battled, who was?
HipHopDX: Dizaster.
Jack Thriller: It was Dizaster.
HipHopDX: Yeah.
Jack Thriller: He was wack! So the 14 year old me—and I'm 32 now—saw that this motherfucker was fresh out the bull's ass when he did that shit. I don't know if I wanna see Lupe Fiasco battle. Say something about me, Lupe. I'm an easy target. Say something about me. I fuck with you too, shawty. I be kicking and pushing all the time. I can't skateboard, but I kick and push all the time. And I be feeding chocolate to the fat. He said that in one of his rhymes. I say that to 'Hov sometime. I be like "Oh, baby you be feeding chocolate to the fat."
Jack Thriller Confirms Publicly Disowning Slowbucks After Summer Jam
HipHopDX: "Slowbucks getting his chain snatched at Summer Jam"
Jack Thriller: Winslow is my homeboy. When Winslow put up that picture of 50's son on Instagram and 50 put up that goddamn, shit where he said, "That was a bad idea," man. That shit made me wanna stop being Slowbucks' friend. I ain't even wanna claim him after that. I was like, "Aw this nigga's gonna die! He's gonna kill him. Oh my God, Slow." I wanted to call him and say, "Hey, you know they gonna kill you. Don't do that." Summer Jam. Slow shows up at Summer Jam. Ebro, Shawn Pecas and everybody is trying to stop him from getting on stage. They trying to stop him, like, "Hey, no don't go on there. They just don't want you on stage. Don't get on there. Don't do it." He got on that stage, man. Like I said, I don't think 50 had nothing to do with him getting punched on stage. But if he did, and if he did have something to do with it, I wouldn't have done it. 'Cause Slow know 50. He know him for years and he know [50] don't play that. 50 Cent is not a person that you play with. He's one of the nicest, coolest dude's on Earth, but you do not play with 50 Cent. Let alone play with his kids.
Didn't you see Get Rich or Die Tryin'? When Majestic came in there and picked up the baby, and his girl said, "Majestic came by, and he picked up the baby." And what 50 say? [He said], "Don't nobody touch my kid. Don't nobody touch my kid." That was the same little boy that Slowbucks was in the picture with, doing the "fuck you" thing with.
Man, people don't be playing that shit. You don't fuck with nobody's kids, and you don't fuck with their money. Slow should've never been on that stage. Never. He should've never been on that stage. That's my homeboy, man. I fuck with Slow. Not in public, but I fuck with Slow. You will never see us in public together no more until 50 wants us to be friends again. But I fuck with Slow. I had to turn my back on you just like everybody else did after that shit. Can't be affiliated. Gotta stay alive. Remember when homeboy, on South Central was like, "Man, gotta stay alive." 50 would kill me. I can't be your friend in public, but I fuck with you. We can still text and all that 'cause can't nobody see us texting. I will still like your pictures on Instagram, 'cause nobody can't see that shit. But I got to wait until after 10 people like the shit first, because it shows people's name. I can't do it. I can't be one of the first 10, Slow. I fuck with you, though. Not in public. When I'm gonna find out that you in public and I'm there too, I'm gonna ignore you. I'm gonna ignore you. Leave that nigga 50 alone. He'll kill everybody. That nigga, he destroyed me and my grandmama relationship. He called my grandmama a bitch. And my grandmama was like, "You just gonna let him call me a bitch?" I was like, "Was you acting bitchy?" We ain't talked since. I had to choose 50 over my grandma.
HipHopDX: Were you on stage when it happened.
Jack Thriller: I was offstage when it happened, and I thank God I was. I wouldn't have known what to do. Had I been on stage, you know what I would've did? Nothing. I would act like I didn't see that shit just like everybody else did.
How Nick Cannon & Corey Holcomb Brought Jack Thriller To Wild 'N Out
HipHopDX: You are on this season of Wild 'N Out.
Jack Thriller: This season of Wild 'N Out. Season 6, Nick Cannon, thank you.
HipHopDX: How did that happen?
Jack Thriller: Corey Holcomb is the big black dude on the show. Back in 07, I used to make Corey Holcomb t-shirts for him and shit. This was Season 5 of Wild 'N Out. He was like "There's no way I can really repay you for this." 'Cause he wasn't even really doing merchandising then. And I was like, "Yo, I'll make the shirts for you, man. All I want, is can you get me an audition on Wild 'N Out?" He called me up one day, he said, "Hey, man, just fly out to L.A." This was 2007, and I'd never been on a plane before…never been to L.A., or nowhere for that matter. I booked my ticket, I came there and didn't have nowhere to stay. I hit Corey up I was like, "Yo, man." I didn't tell him I had nowhere to stay. I was like, "I'm here." He couldn't even believe I came. He got me the little audition with Nick, and Nick was like, "Hey, when Wild 'N Out comes back, I'ma bring you on."
So, Wild 'N Out didn't come back. I think Nick asked for more money, and he show never came back and after that. He started doing America's Got Talent. The money goes up for Nick Cannon, and his work goes up. He married Mariah Carey; money goes up. Now, he's back on top. The demand for Wild 'N Out is getting crazy. I had just moved to New York in '09 and hooked up with 50 Cent. We're doing all these viral videos and shit. Nick Cannon sees me on the viral videos like, "Hey, that's that dude that came a couple years ago. Yeah, we gotta keep him in mind. Oh, yeah, who else can we get?" There was another popping guy at the time, too, which was 50 Tyson. They was gonna bring me and 50 Tyson on Wild 'N Out. But 50 Tyson fucked around and fell off. Season 5 rolls around, and in 2013 Nick hit me up and got me on the show. He said, "I can't get you the whole season, but I can give you a couple [episodes], 'cause the MTV crowd, they don't know if they wanna see a guy with a star in his eye every week on TV. But if you kill it, then you can come back for the whole sixth season."
And I killed it. And he brought me back for the whole sixth season, which is this season. It comes on every Wednesday night, so make sure you tune in. We have a lot of great guests. Nick Cannon has been nothing but a brother and a friend to me and take my situation to a whole different level. Whatever he needs, I'm there for him. He's going out for the Richard Pryor role, and I support him 100%. It ain't nobody better—not Marlon Wayans, not Mike Epps, not Mos Def, not Terrence Howard. Nick Cannon is the right person for the role. He the only one that ever dressed up, grew his hair out, grew the mustache and even performed in his normal life with his left hand to be Richard Pryor. So that's why he deserves the role to be the greatest of all time.
HipHopDX: Say that last part again. Performed with his left hand. So he does what now?
Jack Thriller: Richard Pryor was left-handed. So Nick Cannon, is living his life left-handed now to prepare for this role. That's how hard he's going. He's living his life as Richard Pryor. He's having sex with Mariah Carey as Richard Pryor. Mariah Carey is cheating on Nick Cannon with Richard Pryor. Mariah Carey is Bustin Loose right now. Mariah Carey is living Harlem Nights right now. Mariah Carey knows Jo Jo Dancer firsthand. Mariah Carey is playing with The Toy. Mariah Carey is moving. Mariah Carey is with Richard Pryor live on sunset. Mariah Carey is fucking Mudbone. Wild 'N Out every Wednesday night.
How Jack Thriller's Eye Reflects His Childhood Stardom Aspirations
HipHopDX: Last question. When's the first time you put the star in?
Jack Thriller: The first time I put the star in was the first time I had got the glass eye that was cross-eyed. Man, the dude that made my glass eye made me a cross-eyed glass eye. It's not because he was trying to, it's just because the technology at that point in time couldn't get a eye lined up with this other eye. I was like, "I don't want that shit. The only reason I'm coming to you is become I wanna be a real boy like Pinocchio. And you over here finna give me some shit where people still gonna be talking about me about it? I'd rather have a piece of tissue stuck in this motherfucker than the eye you're about to give me." The eye was over here, like it don't come with a steering wheel on the motherfucker or a parking brake. It was a disrespectful eye. So, to answer your question, I think I was about maybe 17 when I first put the star in, and I never took it out. I wanted something that I didn't mind people staring at me about. I always saw myself as a star. I've always been in the dark, and I always felt like I shined bright, no matter what room I walked into. That's what the star is about…just as simple as that. Jack Thriller's a star.
HipHopDX: Was Jack Thriller going to be a comedian at that point? At 16, 17, was he thinking about that?
Jack Thriller: Jack Thriller was thinking about being a comedian at seven. Seven-years-old, maybe even younger than that. Man, I used to get chased home from school every day from kids, 'cause I was always the cross-eyed kid. I mean kids would be throwing rocks at me and shit. I be fighting four and five guys at the same time, 'cause I ain't know how to let you talk about me and get away with it. No matter how big you was, I would say something that I ain't have no business saying, like, "Well, fuck you then!" Or, "You can kiss my ass!" or, "Yo mama." And so, I'm fighting the biggest because I could not shut the fuck up. And it got me in a lot of trouble. You ever seen a bus shaking? I was a ping pong ball on the bus, and they were bouncing me around, whooping my ass all over the bus. This was all the way up until like ninth grade and so I was like, "Fuck this shit." I quit school. I said, "I don't want to learn shit else. That's it. I'm outta this motherfucker."
But my teachers and my mom used to always say, "Yo, just learn how to talk about people back and whatnot and talk about yourself like Richard Pryor did. And that's how you get people off you." Yeah, that'll get people off you, but that still ain't gonna get everybody from talking about you. And my teacher's was like, "You're really funny even though you're disrupting my class. You should be a comedian." This is from, like I said, second or third grade all the way on up. And I ended up doing it. I never thought I could do it 'cause I used to watch Comic View all the time, and you see somebody being funny on stage for like more than five minutes. 'Cause when you in class and you're telling the joke in spurts; you just make an outburst and you're making the class laugh. But it's different to make a whole room of people laugh consecutively—back-to-back-to-back.
I knew I could do it 'cause I got trained for it just growing up. When I actually did get on stage and shit, it was a cakewalk, 'cause there wasn't nothing you could say to me that ain't already been said. It ain't nothing that you can do to me that ain't already been did. It was fun to me. It was fun. And that's why you see me right here. And I'm one of the most successful comedians that don't have a comedy special out right now. But it's coming, and when it do come, it's gonna be right. It's Kevin [Hart's] time right now. But guess who's next? Nigga, me!
HipHopDX: Does it feel like you're battle rapping? When you're on stage?
Jack Thriller: It's the same thing. I feel like it's the exact same thing—Battle Rap and being a comedian. You have to remember what your skit is, your sketch is and your lines are. And you have to stay focused, and you can't let people throw you off even with the heckling and the outbursts. Battle rapping and comedy is cousins. And some of the best battle rappers in the world are hilarious. And I'ma tell you, Loaded Lux is hilarious. Murda Mook, hilarious. We've got these things on the phone, being in person. Big T, hilarious. What's the cat's name? Calicoe! One of the funniest battle rappers in the world. Daylyt, hilarious.
Before y'all even seen him punch Math Hoffa, I'm in Sweden with Dizaster in Malmo. I was hosting a Battle Rap show, then, and it was a dude that he had to battle on that show, and he whooped his girlfriend's ass. Dizaster saw that shit, and he saved the bitch. He went to her boyfriend and started whooping his ass, saying, "What are you doing hitting her? That's a lady!" He go save her ass. Motherfucker. That's my dude. He was outta his goddamn mind. He whooped that dude's ass right before the battle and said something about it in the battle. And he's in a whole other country. It's one thing to be in somebody's hood, but to be in somebody else country? And shit didn't happen to him. So that's why I respected him. And I was like, "Yo, this Dizaster dude, he's the real deal." So when he did what he did to Math Hoffa, I wasn't surprised. What I was surprised about is how dope he fought, though. Like, yo, he was back-to-back there, whack, whack, whack, whack, whack, whack. 'Cause Math Hoffa had already built the persona that, yo, he ain't the one you supposed to be hitting 'cause he'll knock you out. Now I feel like I could beat Math Hoffa's ass. Am I gonna try? No. 'Cause I got one eye. If I didn't have one eye, I'd try. But until then, I'm still scared of you. And I'ma sip some tea to that. But it's none of my business.

Topic: Thinking of All
Dear All,
It has become a tradition at our house, when family and friends gather holding hands while giving thoughts to something special in our live.
This year, we are extending our hands to all of those, who have been touched by cholangiocarcinoma.
In my vision, our hands are reaching from the West to the East Coast, to Canada, to the UK, Scotland, Sweden, Spain, Turkey, Belgium, New Zealand, Australia and India. (If I have left out anyone please, join in.)
We are connected because of those, whose memories we treasure forever and we are united with all, who are battlings this disease, as we are supporting, cheering, hoping, searching and sharing ongoing information and are with you, all the way.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has set new nutrition standards for food sold as snacks in schools, giving fruit and vegetable shippers opportunities for vending machines and snack bars.
After considering nearly 250,000 comments, the agency on June 27 published the regulation, called "Smart Snacks in Schools," also known as the "competitive snacks" rule, for junk food that competes with healthier lunch menus.
Lorelei DiSogra, vice president of nutrition and health at the United Fresh Produce Association, said she was pleased with the regulation, which is expected to go into effect in July 2014.
"The new standards will create many more opportunities for fresh fruits and vegetables, and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables, to be available to students al a carte, school vending machines and school snack bars," she said.
The new school snack standard complements updated school lunch nutrition standards, which were implemented at the beginning of the 2012-13 school year and doubled the amount of fruits and vegetables served at schools every day, according to a news release from United Fresh.
The standards allow students to pack candy and other treats during in brown bag lunches, and classrooms can celebrate birthdays and holidays with cupcakes.
In a news release, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Vilsack said the "Smart Snacks" standards allow bake sales and other fundraisers, and after-school sporting events and other activities won't be subject to the standards.
The National Harbor, Md.-based School Nutrition Association said is assessing the rule's effect of these new regulations on school foodservice operations.
Jessica Donze Black, director of the Washington, D.C.-based Kids' Safe and Healthful Foods Project, said the rule is an important step toward improving child nutrition.
"With many students consuming up to half of their daily calories at school, these new standards represent the kind of positive change we need to help reduce obesity rates among children and teens," she said in a news release.
According to the rule's permanent standards:
- Grain products must have at least 50% of whole grains by weight;
- Have the first ingredient one of the non-grain major food groups; fruits, vegetables, dairy or a protein food must be the main ingredient, or for combination foods have a quarter cup fruits/vegetables;
- If water is the first ingredient, the second ingredient must be one of the food items above

Product Details
The on-resistance profile is very flat over the full analog input range, ensuring excellent linearity and low distortion when switching audio signals.
The ADG5404 is designed on a trench process which guards against latch-up. A dielectric trench separates the P and N channel transistors thereby preventing latch-up even under severe overvoltage conditions.
The ADG5404 switches one of four inputs to a common output, D, as determined by the 3-bit binary address lines, A0, A1, and EN. Logic 0 on the EN pin disables the device. Each switch conducts equally well in both directions when on and has an input signal range that extends to the supplies. In the off condition, signal levels up to the supplies are blocked. All switches exhibit break-before-make switching action.

Just three months after the Civil War battle of Gettysburg and one month before Lincoln's Gettysburg address, at the western edge of the continent, a railroad line began service from San Francisco half way down the Peninsula. At the end of the line, workers saw a gate built by two men from Galway, Dennis Oliver and Daniel McGlynn, that had the words "Menlo Park" on it, named after their beloved village of Menlough in Galway. The train station was named Menlo Park, and so, our town was born.
It is appropriate to pause and celebrate the 150th anniversary of Menlo Park as a town, even though we weren't incorporated until much later. It gives us an opportunity to look back on where we've come and to look forward to our future.
We've seen a lot of changes in Menlo Park since 1863. Then, we were considered a suburb of San Francisco — a place for business people to escape for the summer. Through the 1970s, the train carried commuters primarily to jobs in San Francisco.
Over the last few decades, we've been considered a charming suburb in Silicon Valley, as folks began commuting south. More recently, Menlo Park has become a center of global innovation, with the location here of Facebook and major venture capital firms that now fund start-ups worldwide. As I like to say, in many ways, the future begins in Menlo Park.
So it's not a surprise that 150 years later, we are challenged with balancing two highly desired but often conflicting goals in our community — maintaining village character while encouraging economic vibrancy. I believe we are in the enviable position of embracing our status as a center for innovation while managing its impact on our residential quality of life. We welcome your input in this ongoing dialogue.

TEMPE, Ariz. — Ryan Vogelsong's story already was tailor made for Hollywood. His long, winding road to big league success included a trade, reconstructive elbow surgery and a handful of random stamps on the passport.
On Wednesday, Vogelsong revealed another twist. He pitched in last season's postseason knowing that his father, Harold, was fighting prostate cancer. Harold had hoped to watch his son represent Team USA in the World Baseball Classic next month, but radiation treatments started Wednesday.
"It's weighing on my mind a little bit," Vogelsong said. "But at the same time, baseball is kind of the getaway."
Vogelsong had a 1.09 ERA last postseason, his first as a big leaguer, going 3-0 and dominating in Game 3 of the World Series. Harold had long since known that he had prostate cancer and would need surgery, but his son said any potential distractions were limited as Harold didn't divulge much.
"They kept reassuring me that he was going to be fine," Vogelsong said. "He's got a great doctor in Boston that's supposed to be one of the best in the world with prostate cancer. We're pretty confident that this is going to knock it out. We're just praying that the radiation will knock it out and that he's not going to have too much of a rough time."
Vogelsong pitched three innings against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday and afterward stood anxiously in a hallway near the dugout, waiting for a break in the action that would allow him to run out to his car and call Harold. In those three innings, Vogelsong, who is preparing for the WBC, allowed just one hit and struck out four.
He said he has just a few tweaks to make in his final start before joining the rest of his WBC teammates. Unlike many of his Giants teammates, Vogelsong won't have much of an adjustment when he leaves camp. Team USA's workouts are at a facility that is shared by the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies, and happens to be right across the street from Vogelsong's spring training rental home.
Vogelsong said he's starting to get more and more excited about representing his country, but he feels the experience will be worth even more to his parents, wife and friends back home.
"It's a pretty amazing opportunity," he said. "I think that adds to the enjoyment that this is going to bring."
"February baseball, you gotta love it," manager Bruce Bochy said.
Bochy was pleased with Vogelsong's outing but said the defense was too sloppy in the final innings.
Angel Pagan hit a three-run homer, his first, and Brett Pill stayed hot with an RBI triple. Kensuke Tanaka was 0 for 2 and is hitless in 10 at-bats this spring.
"The numbers in Japan were good," Bochy said. "He's probably pressing a little right now and trying to get that first hit."

background - I'm 39, been playing for 15 years and this is the first time I've ever looked to video for improvement. What sparked this is that I often meet up with new players and give them that first lesson to get them to 'not throw the golf disc like a frisbee', and this past weekend I met a 15 y/o kid on the course that immediate was throwing way farther than me, from standing still. I started to wonder if maybe I wasn't practising what I was preaching. And it's evident that I'm not from my first glance at my video. I'm also starting to experience some elbow pain in my right arm, and aside from seeking additional distance, I'm looking to tweak my form for health reasons as well.
I notice a couple of issues right away involving the plane of my throwing arm and my last step. These look like obvious areas for improvement, but I'm hoping the experts here can give me some feedback.
Thanks in advance!

Corn traders are keeping a close eye upon weather developments over the corn and soy growing areas of South America at this point. Prospects of persistent dryness in that region are rather obviously supporting prices. However, these weather situations do not play out quickly, which sometimes seems to leave traders twiddling their thumbs while awaiting fresh developments. That certainly seemed to be the case Tuesday morning, when corn futures hardly seemed to move. This lack of movement may persist until the weekly Export Sales reports are released Thursday morning. March corn had edged 1/4 cent higher, to $7.29 1/2 in late-morning activity, while December had slipped 2 cents to $5.88 per bushel.
Reports of rising soybean basis levels across the Corn Belt apparently boosted the CBOT market Tuesday morning, since traders interpreted the shift as indicating comparative supply tightness at recent price levels. That is, elevators are having to boost bids in order to get farmers to draw down their inventories. Talk of potential problems transporting the huge South American crop to the coasts and to customers may also have supported prices, but we do not put a great deal of faith in such arguments. Ultimately, the potential for renewed Argentine dryness in the wake of anticipated weekend rains probably set the stage for the latest futures surge. March beans had climbed 5 cents to $14.52 3/4 late Tuesday morning, while March soyoil rose 0.12 cents to 52.01 cents/pound and March meal gained $2.4 to $422.7/ton.
While the persistent drought over winter wheat fields across the U.S. Southern Plains remains a supportive factor, the Tuesday morning wheat advance seemed to be powered by talk of the export situation. For example, Algeria reportedly bought 500,000-600,000 tonnes of durum wheat from Canada and the U.S. over the past week. Moreover, instead of exporting excess production in the coming weeks and months, Russia is rumored to be preparing to buy grain from the EU. From a pragmatic standpoint, wheat futures are simply acting well, which is probably attracting additional buying. March CBOT wheat futures advanced 4 1/4 cents to $7.83 1/2 just before lunchtime, while March KCBT wheat surged 5 3/4 cents to $8.38 1/2 and March MGE futures edged 1 1/2 cents higher to $8.68/bushel.
Cattle futures spiked upward in response to bullish news on the January 25 Cattle on Feed report and on weekend reports that Japan will soon ease restrictions on its beef imports from the U.S. Bullish traders are almost surely expecting much more of the same from this point, since cattle slaughter and beef production routinely decline to annual lows in March, whereas retail industry demand for the grilling season start accelerating in late winter and/or early spring. However, the wholesale market has persistently proven unsupportive of bullish ideas. For example, after rising quite modestly on Monday, cutout values gave back those gains Tuesday morning. That may largely explain the weakness also experienced by CME futures in early trading. February cattle had fallen 0.35 cents to 128.60 cents/pound around midsession, while April was down 0.15 cents to 133.27.
The big Monday cattle rally probably pulled CME lean hog futures upward as well, although bulls in the swine pit could also point to the discount built into nearby hog futures with just over two weeks before the February contract expires. However, the cash hog and wholesale pork markets are not cooperating very well with those in the bullish camp. For example, after having climbed consistently since mid-December, the CME lean hog index seems set to slip 0.09 cents to 88.42 cents/pound when officially quoted Wednesday morning. Direct country markets posted lower quotes again this morning, although the latter preliminary figures are not reliable. In the end, we are not confident the hog market gain rally all that substantially in the absence of bullish leadership from the cattle/beef complex. February hogs had slipped 0.10 cents to 87.07 cents/pound just before the lunch hour, whereas June futures had climbed 0.60 cents to 98.25.

Every parent knows how hard it is to provide for children as a single parent. Charles Espinoza was one of those children, but his situation was even further impacted by the fact that he had five brothers and sisters! Nevertheless, the forty-five year old from Littleton, Colorado made the best of it as a child, and even though money was tight, Charles used his imagination to entertain himself. Most kids were given Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars to keep busy, but Charles used empty soap boxes to resemble cars. At that young age, he knew that automobiles were something that he enjoyed; he had no clue that later on he'd be the proud owner of two incredible Lowriders!
Once Charles became an adult, he set out to find a vehicle that would give him that same enjoyment that he had as a child. He met a friend, Marcos Valencia, who owned a '51 Chevrolet Deluxe convertible that he and his father had started to build. Enamored by the shape and design, Charles inquired about purchasing the car from his friend. "Everything in life has some sort of price," he thought to himself, and if he could come up with the money, the car could be his. Finally, the car was his, and the Deluxe was parked in his driveway! With an engine overhaul courtesy of Marcos, bodywork and paint courtesy of Joey "Guerrito" Bartlett, a Raul's Auto Upholstery custom interior, and suspension work from Fabian of the Chozen Brothers in Denver, Charles had himself one sick Lowrider!
As for the '63, that one came from a different place. Charles would occasionally visit the auto auctions in Colorado in order to earn extra money by buying and selling hard to find items, and in some cases, hard to find cars. One day, he found a deal that he couldn't pass up for himself; a 1963 Impala Convertible. Charles quickly won the auction cost and took the '63 home. With some paint work from Dean Apodaca of Dean's Auto Body in Denver, and re-chroming from Denver Bumper, this classic Impala was ready to hit the streets!
With many friends and family members by his side, customizing his two classics was never a problem. His wife of sixteen years, Darla, is always by his side along with their two sons, Tino and Ramon. Charles decided to start his own car club called Choice, which he says represents making your own choices in life. With no mandatory meetings and no financial dues, it's an unconventional club, but one that focuses on positivity. "It's a completely relaxing environment, and we involve everyone's family," Charles tells us. "I am truly blessed to have these amazing people in my life." Choice debuted this year at the Denver Lowrider Show and made an immediate impact on the Lowrider community.
Charles wishes to thank Choice C.C., Marcos Valencia, Chuck Montoya, and his lovely wife, Darla, for all their help and support. His goal is to teach his two boys the value of family and be able to provide for them in the manner in which they deserve. It may have started with soap boxes, but now his two boys are playing with two amazing classics just like their father is.

Twin Beds
I don't know about you, but I find rooms decorated with twin beds sort of endearing. They hold memories of childhood, cottages and I Love Lucy reruns — it's comfort food decorating, really. They also make it easy to pull a room together, because they're symmetrical and straightforward. Think of them as the perfect place to start when designing a bedroom. Two beds + pretty table + decorative lamp + cute artwork + rug or painted floor = easy bedroom.
Because the equation is so simple, you can keep the room chic and cheap or go for broke and layer up juicy quilts and beautiful statement pieces. Have a look at some pretty inspiration below, including beds that will surely make you long to sleep in a twin again.
This simple boys' room was in a chalet that we shot for H&H in November 2009. The wooden beds offer warm weight to a room decorated with traditional checks and stripes.
The simple upholstered beds shown here from Hickory Chair have a little extra height to the headboard — a proportion that makes them feel interesting and grown-up.
You can't go wrong with beds like these and a fresh white palette.
This photo proves that it's all about the symmetry.
This hand-hammered iron bed is a stunner. Notice that it has a headboard built into the four-poster — nice detail.
The Malm twin bed frame from Ikea comes in white or black and offers sleek, clean design. I've been on many photo shoots with this bed set up for kids — it often fools me into thinking it's custom because of the simplicity of the lines.
For more design inspiration for children's rooms, view our Kids' Rooms photo gallery.

Pete and Tom are so different -- what do you think keeps them friends?
They became friends at such an early stage of their lives, so there's a sense that there's no escaping each other. There's a love and mutual admiration for one another. Though Tom's been away in Ireland for many years, they're intrinsically linked, an unbreakable bond -- due to a formative story about wetting themselves.
Do you think Pete might still wet himself on purpose -- just for the sensation?
[Laughs] There was one ad-lib where we said upon meeting each other ten years down the line we went out and the very same thing happened. And yes, Pete does still enjoy doing it for the sensation.
Why does Pete take such an interest in Tom's love life?
Pete's a bit of a player - a self-confessed and self-promoted lover man, and whether it's founded in reality is neither here nor there. He wants Tom to have some kind of connection with a female so he sets him up on dates. And with all fairness to Pete, he thinks they're going to be marvelous, 'cause he thinks these girls are fit. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
Where does he find these women?
A few of them come through the zoo. Pete is very good at picking up women at zoos. He'll spot the single, vulnerable women, and make a beeline for them. If they're not his cup of tea, he'll pass them on to Tom. It's not quite sloppy seconds.
As a Zoological Cage Management Associate, Pete's role in aiding alpaca reproduction must be a big deal for him.
Pete is essentially playing God -- he wants to create life where there once was none. Taurus was a lovely, long-haired, brown alpaca, with deep, deep brown eyes. We shared a moment or two on set.
He helped Taurus out with a saucy alpaca magazine, correct?
That's right -- I think it was Alpaca Monthly -- the older edition, but the centerfold still had quite an impact. Pete was showing Taurus the female centerfold. He hoped that would have done it, but it took more coercing and a very sore arm.
He really had his work cut out for him that day.
Pete had to swap arms. It was a lot of work if you know what I mean.
You say Pete wants to play God -- that's a deeper side of him than we normally get to see.
[Laughs] It seems odd mentioning Pete in terms of any deeper thought process, or deeper spirituality. He has no overarching journey -- he's just along for the ride. But we learn that Pete has a yearning for family, because he doesn't know who his dad is. He very much looks forward to becoming a father himself, so helping alpacas reproduce triggers something in his little brain. Pete thinks he would make a good dad, which I think he would to a degree -- he has that childlike enthusiasm that good dads need. You'd just hope the mother was more responsible. And then it would be a very similar balance to what I have with my wife and our four-week-old baby.
So you see a little bit of Pete in you?
Because the show is so heavily improvised, I think the character has to come from some place of reality. I'm not saying I am Pete, but that there's an element of him in me -- a slightly more toned-down, respectable version. You wouldn't want to walk around as Pete every day -- just the outfits alone would get you into all sorts of trouble.
Speaking of outfits, what was it like to learn that you were going to be one half of a pantomime horse?
Great! It's every classically-trained actor's dream to be one half of a pantomime horse. Us Brits -- we're huge fans of pantomime, so it's always been a dream of mine to be the front-end of a pantomime horse.
Chris O'Dowd said that you're both method actors, so afterwards you went home and spooned.
Chris and I spooned most evenings - it had very little to do with the pantomime horse. [Laughs] And cried ourselves to sleep: "Did we do a good job? Were we funny today? Did Chris Guest like it?"


text: Tomblin speech light on talk of energy issues By Ken Ward Jr. February 13, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin on Wednesday night promised to keep fighting tougher federal regulation of the coal industry, touted continued growth of the state's natural gas business, and said he would spare West Virginia's mine safety agency the budget cuts hitting other sectors of state government.But in a speech heavy on details of Tomblin's proposed overhaul of the state school system, the governor focused less on energy issues -- and said hardly anything about pressing issues in communities were coal is mined and gas is produced."I think he did a disservice to the natural wealth of the state, in ignoring what is happening to the workers and to the people in our communities," said Cindy Rank, longtime leader of the West Virginia Highlands Conservancy.Jim Sconyers, chairman of the state chapter of the Sierra Club, said he was "taken aback" that the governor spent so little time talking about coal.Sconyers said he would have liked to hear Tomblin talk about coal's contribution to global warming or about the growing scientific evidence that residents living near mountaintop removal mining operations face greater risks of serious illnesses, including cancer and birth defects."Energy was just not really in the picture," Sconyers said. "Maybe it's just gotten so controversial that he didn't even want to bring it up."Tomblin did bring up both coal and natural gas, though they were discussed less than last year, when lawmakers had just finished a special session on Marcellus Shale regulations and the governor was proposing a new package of mine safety rules.This year, for example, the governor said that West Virginia is "making the most of the opportunities associated with" the state's abundant supplies of natural gas."We are working with the private sector to take advantage of our natural gas resources by converting more vehicles to compressed natural gas," Tomblin said. In one paragraph dedicated to coal, the governor called the industry "an integral part of West Virginia" and promised to keep up his battle against U.S. Environmental Protection Agency efforts to curb coal's negative impacts on the environment, public health, and the global climate."I believe in the production of coal, its value to our country, and I will continue to do everything that I can to fight the EPA and its misguided attempts to cripple this industry," Tomblin said.That one paragraph was good enough for West Virginia Coal Association President Bill Raney."I thought it was a whale of a speech," Raney said. "The important thing is to keep our operations open and keep our people working and make sure we can keep mining coal." Tomblin lamented that, "significant declines in the production of coal have battered West Virginia's economy." But observers noted that the governor offered little in the way of a vision of how to diversify coalfield economies as the industry continues to decline in the face of mined-out reserves, low natural gas prices, and competition from other coal basins."He started out great, talking about preparing for our future, but then he totally ignored talking about a West Virginia future without coal," said Don Garvin, lead lobbyist for the West Virginia Environmental Council. Tomblin has refused requests that he form a special commission to plan a coalfield transition, and has declined to support proposals from various groups and Senate President Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall, for some sort of a "future fund" that would use coal and gas taxes for education, infrastructure and economic development programs."West Virginia needs to invest in transitioning our economy by ensuring that we use our rich natural resources to create sustainable wealth that is reinvested in our people," said Ted Boettner, executive director of the West Virginia Center for Budget and Policy.Tomblin talked about last June's derecho, calling it "storm like no other we'd ever experienced before," but did not mention climate change and its links to increasing incidents of "extreme weather" in the state or around the world.The governor mentioned briefly that his plan for state budget cuts "does not take money away from mine safety programs." But environmental groups noted that Tomblin made no such promise regarding the state Department of Environmental Protection, an agency that has struggled with a shortage of natural gas inspectors and a long-standing need staffing problem in its strip-mine enforcement program.The governor praised West Virginia's coal miners, saying their dedication "is the work that built our state and the work that sustains it."But he didn't mention that two miners have been killed on the job in the last week, while a third remained in critical condition Wednesday night after an accident the prior evening. Tomblin made no mention of a series of failures by his administration to implement key portions of last year's mine safety legislation. "The governor is absolutely right that the work of miners built our state and sustains us, but the absence of real meaningful change on mine safety and health is a failure of the Legislature and the executive," said Davitt McAteer, a longtime mine safety advocate who led an independent team that investigated the Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster.On natural gas issues, Dave McMahon, a lawyer with the West Virginia Surface Owners' Rights Organization, said his group would like to see more discussion of expanding the state's new drilling law to provide more protections to surface landowners -- something the state Supreme Court recently suggested might be needed."We hope this new Legislature does not weaken, and may even strengthen, the DEP's proposed rule carrying out the governor's Marcellus Shale bill passed in 2011," McMahon said.Tomblin also did not mention the push for stronger state efforts to improve energy efficiency, an issue that's getting more attention nationally with President Obama's call in his State of the Union address to cut in half the energy wasted by homes and businesses."West Virginia certainly lags behind the rest of the country in energy efficiency," said Cathy Kunkel of the group Energy Efficient West Virginia. Energy efficiency efforts will lower utility bills, Kunkel said, "and also create more jobs per dollar than investments in the traditional electric and natural gas utility sectors."Reach Ken Ward Jr. at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1702.

What effect on an opponent's offense do you expect from an "average" or "good" defense? What improvement do you expect to an opponent's offense from a "bad" defense? What special effects would you expect from a "great" or even "elite" defense?
You have always seemed to really focus on defense in your player evaluations, so I'm asking you to explain what it is you see that says that a defense that remains #1 in opponent FG%, second in opponent 3pt%, and third in opponent points per game is merely "good"?

Lawsuit filed against dog shelter dubbed 'sanctuary of sorrow'
FORKS, Wash. -- Pressure continues to build on a controversial dog shelter in Forks that's accused of severely mistreating its animals.
A lawsuit has now been filed against the man who runs the Olympic Animal Sanctuary, accusing him of "failing to provide adequate and humane care" for a dog named Leroy and refusing to give back the dog placed there temporarily.
"He was a big untrained goof ball," Heather Enajibi, head of the Animal Aid and Rescue Foundation in Seattle, said of her dog Leroy. "He'd jump up on you and hug you. He just loved people. He wanted to be touched. He wanted to be hugged."
Enajibi says even though Leroy loved people, he wasn't nice to other dogs.
"And so we placed Leroy there in a foster situation," she said. "It was supposed to be a safe, loving environment."
The Olympic Animal Sanctuary takes dangerous dogs that might otherwise be euthanized. It's run by Steve Markwell, who lets almost no one inside to chronicle conditions. However, Leroy is inside, according to the lawsuit, with 120 other dogs or more -- so many, you can hear them from the outside.
A Forks police report describes dogs without full access to water or enough room to turn around, fed once a week or so, rarely exercised, with an overwhelming stench.
Photos provided by former volunteers at OAS purport to show Leroy inside with his ribs more protruding than previous photos, his caged area is full of what appears to be feces, a bowl of dirty water, and a wooden wall appears heavily clawed or chewed. The photos made Enajibi demand that the dog be returned to her.
"I cried. I absolutely cried," she said when she saw the photos of Leroy in there. "That's not a sanctuary. A sanctuary in my mind is the highest quality of care."
Markwell, according to the lawsuit, refused to give back Leroy, even though Markwell himself has written he's got too many dogs to handle properly.
When we chatted briefly with Markwell in August outside his rundown warehouse, we asked if the shelter is operating how he envisioned it.
"It's a start," he said.
His attorney and the city have previously said he's violated no laws.
People from outside Forks protested there last week over that city's refusal to take legal action against the dog shelter. Many have said they've tried for a long time to help Markwell but now believe he's beyond help.
And Leroy, Enijibi says, needs to come home.
"He was so sweet. And it breaks my heart. It breaks my heart. And I want him back," she said.
We reached out to Markwell and his attorney. They had not responded by Thursday evening.

Spain are the model most international teams are following in the modern era. The Spanish have won three tournaments in a row, and they have the right balance of experienced players pulling their weight, with young, promising players always coming through. Fernando Torres, Raul and Xavi are some of the current fan favourites, who are gracing the back of their soccer jerseys, but they're looking to the future to keep their model a successful one, and Diego Costa looks to be the name worn across their jerseys. The striker is one of the best in La Liga, another testament to their strength. Spain won't be going anywhere any time soon.

Baker put back in lineup after White Sox change plans
ARLINGTON -- The White Sox scratched right-handed starter Jake Peavy from Thursday's game because of back spasms and started left-hander Hector Santiago instead.
That move impelled Rangers manager Ron Washington to change his lineup. David Murphy was originally scheduled to start against Peavy, but Washington went with Jeff Baker in left field instead. Washington is keeping Baker's right-handed bat in the lineup against left-handers and right now Murphy is the one getting bumped.
"We have a right-handed bat that can hit left-handers," Washington said. "That's all it is. It's not a platoon. Murphy is still going to play against left-handers."
The arrangement is noticeable because the Rangers are facing a run of left-handers. Santiago is the fifth left-hander the Rangers have faced in the last six games and there are two more coming this weekend. The Red Sox are scheduled to pitch left-hander Felix Doubront on Friday, right-hander John Lackey on Saturday and left-hander Jon Lester on Sunday during their three-game series against the Rangers.
Baker went into Thursday's game hitting .444 (8-for-18) with three home runs against left-handed pitchers. He had home runs in back-to-back games on Tuesday and Wednesday for the fifth time in his career as he is taking advantage of the increased playing time of late.
"Any time you get to play a lot and get at-bats, it helps your timing and you can build off it," Baker said.
The only issue is his right knee. Baker bruised it in a game last week against the Angels in Anaheim and he is still recovering from his collision with the left-field stands. Washington has taken him out of the game defensively in the late innings of the last two games and will continue to do so until the knee is at least close to 100 percent.
"It's progressing … slowly, but progressing," Baker said. "You just go out and play with it."
The run of left-handers stops on Monday. The Rangers play a makeup game with the Cubs on Monday in Chicago and are scheduled to face right-hander Scott Feldman. The Rangers then play a two-game series with the Brewers on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Brewers have an all right-handed rotation and right now the Rangers are scheduled to face Hiram Burgos and Wily Peralta. The Rangers will also face at least two right-handers during a three-game series with the Astros next weekend in Houston.

'One day it's there and the next day... it's in pieces'
TOPPENISH, Wash. -- Petrie Hall at Heritage University was still smoldering two days after a devastating fire broke out. Crews are now left to clean up the mess that caused $3 million in damage.
Investigators got a closer look at the damage for the first time Tuesday.
Yakima Fire Chief Brian Vogel says the metal roof created an "oven" type of environment.
"One of the difficult parts we had was the amount of fire we had involved when we got there," Vogel said.
Crews removed pieces of the roof and knocked down sections of the brick walls. That allowed investigators take their first steps into the destruction and survey the damage.
Investigators didn't take any chances either. They used special equipment to avoid stepping on hot spots.
Restoring water is a top priority. Nearly all of the well water was used within the first five hours of the fire fight.
"As we started getting closer to the end, we actually started to run out of the water in those ring wells. They start sucking in sediment into the strainer," Vogel said.
The university tells us the wells will be cleaned and back at capacity by Wednesday.
Email and phone lines are still down, but classes are back on schedule. Students tell us they're still adjusting.
"You think, whoa, one day it's there and the next day everything changes and it's in pieces," said Heritage Student Cristal Rizo.
Pieces that will likely lay here and smolder for days to come.
Administrators say a permanent plan for rebuilding won't be decided for a few weeks.
It will take another ten days to restore Internet access.
Insurance is expected to cover the damage.

Antithyroid Drugs During Radioiodine Therapy
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Background: The use of radioactive iodine (131I) therapy as the definite cure of hyperthyroidism is widespread. According to a survey on the management of Graves' disease, thirty per cent of physicians prefer to render their patients euthyroid by antithyroid drugs (ATD) prior to 131I therapy. This strategy is presumably chosen to avoid 131I induced 'thyroid storm', which, however, is rarely encountered. Several studies have consistently shown that patients who are treated with ATD prior to 131I therapy have an increased risk of treatment failure. Mostly, patients with Graves' disease have been studied, while other studies were addressed also toxic nodular goiter. Thus, it is generally accepted that ATD have 'radioprotective' properties, although this view is almost exclusively based on retrospective data and is still under debate (13). Indeed, this dogma was recently challenged by two randomized trials in Graves' disease, none of which showed such an adverse effect of methimazole pretreatment. It cannot be excluded that the earlier results may have been under influence of selection bias, a source of error almost unavoidable in retrospective studies. Whether ATD is radioprotective also when used in the post 131I period has also been debated. In the early period 131I therapy following a transient rise in the thyroid hormones is seen which may give rise to discomfort in some patients. The continuous use of ATD during 131I therapy leads to more stable levels of the thyroid hormones. By resuming ATD following 131I therapy, euthyroidism can usually be maintained until the destructive effect of 131I ensues. Nevertheless, many physicians prefer not to resume ATD, probably due to reports supporting that such a strategy reduces the cure rate. Parallel to the issue of ATD pretreatment, the evidence is based on retrospective studies and the ideal set-up should be reconsidered. To underscore the importance of performing randomized trials we showed recently that resumption of methimazole seven days after 131I therapy had no influence on the final outcome.
Aim: To clarify by a randomized trial whether continuous use of methimazole during radioiodine therapy influences the final outcome of this therapy, in a comparison with a regime in which methimazole as mono-therapy is discontinued 8 days before radioiodine.
Patients and Methods: 80 consecutive patients suffering from recurrent Graves' disease or a toxic nodular goiter are included. All patients are rendered euthyroid by methimazole (MMI) and randomized either to stop MMI eight days before 131I or to continue MMI until four weeks after 131I. Calculation of the 131I activity (max. 600 MBq) includes an assessment of the 131I half-life and the thyroid volume. Patients are followed for one year with close monitoring of the thyroid function.
