|Ohio's Dr. Tilden from His
Health Epigrams Penned in 1926:
"Men and women want grand health! That is, just so long as it does not cost too much in personal effort, does not require too much in private sacrifice, and does not demand too much in the relinquishing of too many (and preferably, not even one) of their cherished indulgences!"
What % of your energy remains with you today that you had at the highlight of the very best days of your life? Is the % so low that it greatly concerns you?
Realistically, do you think it possible to recapture much of the lost energy of your youth? That is, do you have any belief or hope you could even get re-energized, re-invigorated, re-cycled? Or are you thinking this: "The best is over. It's all just downhill from here on in."
Is your sleep troubled and fitful? Are you a full-blown insomniac? Are your dreams so disturbing it is like going to horror movies all night long? Do you dread going to bed?
Do you get out of bed in the morning — WITH A BOUNCE? Is your life so rich with beloved people to nurture, wonderful animals big or small to caretake, challenges to meet, projects to complete, visions to make manifest, and fun to be had — that you are absolutely chomping at the bit, hot to trot, to GO... GO... GO... as your day begins?
Does your mind get sharper and quicker with each passing year?
Can you still take a stand for yourself and outwit the bad guys and be a force for good whenever you need to?
Do you still have what it takes to spend the energy and put in a few punches for whatever you believe in throughout your day?
Do you have 1 or more mild or full-blown addictions ruling your life? If deep into addiction, have you analyzed what void you are trying to fill with these time-consuming, energy-draining, obsessive-compulsive pursuits?
Do you maintain a good weight? Are you slowly gaining over the years? Do you go up and down? Are you getting scary skinny? TOO BIG TO MOVE?
Are you strong? Can you lift what you need to when you need to? Can you move with pleasant flexibility? Do you get winded? When was the last time you worked up a sustained sweat for your aerobic fitness? Did some stretching exercises for flexibility? Did some resistance training for your strength?
Are you good and confused by all the conflicting information out there about what to eat and about how to go about getting well?
Do you resent paying for doctors and their answers while you only get worse on their advice, prescriptions, surgeries, and treatments?
How many medications are you on? Are they helping you feel better — or do you suspect that you are slowly poisoning yourself with these medications into even more disease and possibly even an early death?
Are you spending so much money on worthless, dangerous, or obviously ineffective, conventional medical treatments/doctors that the expenses are breaking your spirit and your bank account?
Have you been searching for very long for the very best way to get well and stay well? Has your searching been leading to dead ends?
Have you started to wonder: "WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WHEN I CANNOT GET OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING?"
Are you presently so tired and so disinclined to even move about, with so little zest for life, that you are beginning to suspect you harbor a subconscious death wish about to be fulfilled?
Are the things of this Earth beginning to grow strangely dim?

I knew Id make it to the merge, but I wasnt so sure Id be this strong when it arrived. Johnny Fairplay is sittin pretty. We had a good meal to celebrate the merge. It was stingray, and I felt an odd power creep over me as I ate it. Like I consumed the power.
At the luxury challenge I was out fairly quickly as I hit my stupid ass plate out of order. What a stupid challenge it was anyway. Its OK I didnt need a breakfast, or to come off as looking too strong. That would backfire when I go around telling people we have to rid the tribe of the strong guys.
The immunity challenge was fun. I did get the first question wrong, but then got to give Darrah two nuts (not her first two in life Im sure) HAHA, I am so funny. I also managed to give Sarah and Sandra each a nut. Of course Sandra already has a pair of her own.
I dont know why anyone would trust or believe anyone else in this game, but as long as people are trusting me, I just dont care. I was happy to get rid of Ryano or Rhino, or Ryan O. Whatever. Hes gone, and Im still here, lookin good for a top finish. Show Me The Money Burnett!
I cant tell you how nice it is being all one tribe now. I thought I had it easy at Morgan because were all such slackers, but with Drake being all look at me and how much work Im doing! You wont vote me out now because I cut two trees down for firewood, I can lounge around all day. I hated getting all that dirt under my nails.
So then we had the reward challenge, and it reminded me of my childhood. See I used to belong to a marble shooters gang. Yup, The Marble Shooters Gang. We used to hold the target games in my back yard. As you can tell from the reward challenge, I was very good at this. I was even once Grand Master of The Marble Shooters Gang. Then one day the fun ended. Jimmy (a junior member of the gang) was retrieving marbles near the targets and another member let one rip and Jimmy lost his eye. Sadly, we had to disband after that. It just felt good to feel the marbles in my hands at the challenge. Ahh, I miss those days.
Oh and Ive made an alliance. Its all on the downlow, but yea I voted for Ryno just like everyone else. Morgan is dead to me.
Damn, Im good. Ive got this game all figured out. The key is to be able to switch gears faster than anybody else. This is a game of changes, and I know how to rideem, babe. Ive got alliances in every direction and no one knows I dont have any qualms about choppin any tie at any time. The beauty of it is that Im the least likely target if any of my alliances start to crumble. Say I stick with my former tribemates to make the final 5 boom Im in the final 3. Ive also got the Morgan ladies wrapped around my finger with this whole learn-to-forage-for-food-because-the-boys-wont-be-here-forever thing. They could not have asked for better news. I think theyll probably do anything I tellem to do just to keep the she-power thing in motion, including gettin rid of their last fella.
Im lovin it, lovin it, lovin it. Not as much as I would be lovin it if I had gotten me some of those pancakes at the reward challenge though. Oh hell yeah! You cant imagine how good pancakes and syrup would taste right about now! I was the first person to hit a plate with my slingshot, but it just wasnt meant to be. I should have guessed Rupert would win breakfast. Rupert or Burton. They win all the challenges, and they will probably keep right on winning everything unless they accidentally suffocate in Christas silky soft hair one night soon, (its amazing what a good conditioner and a little personal grooming can do for chemically damaged hair). Either way, Im zooming right into the end-game with my hand firmly on the gear shifter.
I'm gittin' frustrated with the laziness o' the former Morgan members o' me crew. That Tijuana is a piece o' work, she is. She's happy ta eat the fish I catch and cook, but she doesn't want ta get firewood and thinks the old Drakes work too hard. I s'pose where she comes from, the fish gather the wood, start the fire, and cook themselves.
I'm feelin' mighty secure in me position as captain. I've got me two closest allies in Christa and Sandra. Those two'd follow me to the death, they would. I was admirin' Christa's form; the lass has fine "definition" she does. Course, when she didn't know what a cutlass was, I offered to show 'er mine. She'd make me a good "first mate" if ye get my meanin'.
T'was a shame I had ta vote off that Ryano fella. He was a good lad. I woulda traded him fer a couple o' the bilge rats on me own crew, but sometimes I let me Pirate Loyalty get in the way of makin' the soundest o' judgements. Wait a sec, there is no such thing as Pirate Loyalty! Blast it all!
All I have to say is that I RULE! I'm back in the game and am getting along good with my tribemates. Well, at least they think everything is peachy. I don't trust Rupert, Christa, and Sandra as far as I could throw any of them (and who could even pick up Rupert, much less throw him?), but they don't need to know that right now. I figure that if just go with the flow for a few more days, everything will fall into place for me.
I was so psyched when Rupert gave me the breakfast he won at the RC, but who was I gonna take? I figured I'd take Lil just to string her along a little further. I mean, we are both former Outcasts blah blah blah. But, when it comes right down to it, the only person I'm looking out for is me. Lil is just as expendable as any of the other people out here.
Now that we've gotten past another week and Ryno is gone, I think I'll start to put my plan into action. I need to talk to Tijuana and Darrah about this (Of course, talking to Darrah is one thing; understanding what she says to me is a whole other story...). Jon will go along with my plan, I'm sure. Then there's Lil. I figure that if the five of us can vote as a block, we can get rid of The Three Amigos. Once they're gone, I'll get rid of these other hangers-on one by one...
Me an' Tay awr lahk bes' friends out hayr. Ev'ryone wanted tuh have awr vowts. Firs' mah husban' soon-to-bay tol' us that we'd vowt out Rooper. Then Sunder an' Chris'mas asked us tuh vowt lahk jus' th' gurls. Ah pritty mush wait fer Tay tuh choose fer us. We spen' lawts of tahm jus' walkin' th' baych, up an' down jus' walkin' an' walkin' lahk gerbils on a rilly flat traydmull. Tay talks with awl the trahbmayts, wall ah practiss mah conserned look. Thass importen hayr--it's jus' lahk when mah Uncle Billy Jo Augustus sits on th' porch, an' he raises one ah-brow, his chayk full of chaw, an' awl us kids would git so fraytened. Tay talks an' ah give mah look.
Jawn Forklift is pissed with may cuz ah' rayjected hem at th' octuhpus smoothay challedge. Wah would ah want tuh be nahs tuh hem? Ah wouldn' evah dayt Jawn, whot with his hayd bein' lahk a bale of cott'n, an' his words bein' 'bout as sawlid as a cheetoh.
Lassly, ah am so ferlorn that Rhiner's fahr wuz snuffed an' awl. Ah wuz fixin' tuh tell hem 'bout haw we'd have nayberin' grave plots, sahd bah sahd, ayven 'n death. But at trahbul counser Chris'mas gawt awl mad 'bout mah nappin'. Ah had tuh tell Chris'mas 'bout haw we use tuh cuhlect fahrwood as a trahb, nawt scamperin' 'bout lahk a 'possum jus' bafore mah momma gits out her shotgun an' fixes tuh mayk a homemade 'possum pah.
I guess we are really getting into the game now. I dont even acknowledge the ones from the other tribe. That Ryan guy bugs me, that little dwarf I cant understand bugs me, Lil just gives me the creeps. They are all so gone. Any plans Im making are for after we clear the beach of that lazy ass trash. In the spirit of Survivor , I think a big Pagong is in order. Get rid of Rupert hah do I look stupid ? Wait dont answer that. People always start laughing when I say that. Im taking Rupert with me to the end. That way I dont go hungry you see. As for Sandra , shes ok for someone whos you know not quite American. Shes good at washing my hair and cleaning up the shelter. Burton is gone after we dump the Morgans. Id even keep Jon the tool in after him. Im a sucker for blondes. Maybe Ill go down and see if theyve caught another electric ray. Its the closest thing to a buzz they have on this island, and Im not missing out.
Wow. All I can say is Wow! What a difference a week makes, no? The Drake tribe really loves me, I can tell. And they appreciate how hard I work. Just call me the Cincinnati workhorse.
When I was gathering firewood, I made sure to pick up the largest limb I could find and carried it back to camp. Well, actually, it was more like a fallen tree. No one was paying me any attention though, so I said, Now I know how Jesus felt. Of course I only meant when Jesus was gathering firewood. Not on his way to the Crucifixion. Because that would be a really stupid comparison. Yep. Only a complete idiot would try to compare themselves there.
How about that Rupert! Such a nice fellow. He even gave up his reward to Burton and I. On our trip to breakfast, Burton and I had a chance to talk. When Burton told me he was a former scout, well, any doubts I had about trusting him just went up like a puff of smoke from a campfire! We have a secret alliance. Being a former scout, no way Burton would ever betray me. No one knows about our alliance of course, no one could even guess. We made a pact to ignore one another at camp. And I put two coconuts in his tray at the Immunity Challenge. Just to show everyone we arent friends. I just know my strategy to be the last Morgan voted off is going well.
Dude, there are bad days and then there are bad days. Like, okay, the time I got all the way to the River of Flame on Diablo II, and then my wicked super-awesome stereo system blew a fuse and I lost my game. That was a bad day. And the time I walked the 12 blocks in the rain to 7-11 to curb a beef jerkey jones and all they had was turkey jerky. What the hell is turkey jerky about, anyway? If I wanted to eat something healthy, would I be looking for it in jerky form? No. No I would not.
Oh, but anyway, those horrors pale in comparison to finding out that my pirate buds aren't as righteous as I thought they were. Dude, when Andrew got the boot last week, I knew I might be in trouble. You don't play as much Frogger as I have without learning a thing or three about strategy. But I'll cop to this, brother - I didn't see an elimination coming. Not yet. I thought I made it perfectly clear to Burton that the Drakes didn't deserve his loyalty. I thought I had cozied up to Rupert enough. I thought Darrah and I were connecting at a real deep level, although I can't be sure of that, since I can't understand a word she says. And I know that I'm less annoying than Jon. Whatever. They can all take their little Panamanian excursion and stick it where the sun don't shine. What goes around comes around. And you know what, dudes? This one friend of mine got stuck with jury duty a couple of years ago. It was a big case, and he was sequestered for like a WEEK. AND - this is the sweet part - his hotel had Playstation 2. I bet I'll get that same luxury. Word! I've built up some sweet calluses on my thumbs out here in the jungle. I'm going to be able to play for like 36 hours straight. This trip wasn't in vain after all.

Homestead pitcher Katie Moss added two more shutouts to her record, including a 5-0 no-hitter against league rival Los Gatos on March 21.
Pitching on the Wildcats' diamond, Moss struck out 11 and walked three en route to her second no-hit, no-run game of the season. Ten days earlier she fired a similar gem in a non-league game against Prospect.
Moss backed up the no-no at Los Gatos with a 6-0 one-hitter on March 22 against visiting Branham in a non-league game. Moss was marvelous, striking out 14. Only Malyna Sanchez's bunt single in the fifth inning prevented Moss from notching a perfect game.
The recent successes raised Homestead's record to 4-0 in the De Anza Division of Santa Clara Valley Athletic League and to 10-1 overall.
Senior catcher Adena Glincher raised her average to a team- leading .531 with two hits and two RBIs at Los Gatos and two more hits against Branham. Sophomore Noa Yakir's double and senior Maddy Casto's triple and three RBIs were offensive highlights in the Los Gatos game. Sophomore Maggie Matzinger smacked an RBI double against Branham, while senior Claire Cali scored two runs and knocked in another. Casto and junior Chelsea Convissar also delivered RBI hits.
Two days prior to the no-hitter at Los Gatos, Moss yielded three hits and two runs at Palo Alto in a 6-2 Homestead win. Casto and Convissar each had two hits, including doubles, and each had an RBI, and Cali came through with a double and two RBIs. Matzinger also had a double and an RBI.
Monta Vista (1-3, 1-7) earned its first win of the season, a 13-2 romp over De Anza Division foe Santa Clara on March 21.
Senior Kylie Page's four hits and four RBIs paced the Matadors over the Bruins (0-3, 2-5), and freshman Marissa Lee had three hits, three runs and two RBIs. Seniors Rachel Cruz and Kalani Seaver also delivered two hits and three runs, and sophomore winning pitcher Tamanna Ahluwalia added three hits and three RBIs.
Monta Vista snapped Fremont's six-game winning streak last week, sweeping its El Camino Division series with two one-run victories.
The Matadors, who had lost three in a row, including their first two division games, won 4-3 on March 19, as senior pitcher Peter Stern struck out nine during his complete game three-hitter.
Two days later, Monta Vista won 2-1 in eight innings. Senior Spencer Rodrigues, who tripled home a run and scored another in the series opener, pitched the first seven innings, went 3 for 4 at the plate and scored the winning run on a wild pitch.
The one-run decisions left both Monta Vista and Fremont at 2-2 in division play, trailing first-place Los Gatos (6-0) and Milpitas (4-2). The Matadors made it four in a row and 6-5 overall by taking their first two games of the Cupertino Lions Tournament, 3-1 over Leadership of Hayward and 10-3 over Cleveland of Portland, Ore.
Fremont fell to 8-5 overall when it lost 7-0 to Saratoga.
Junior Ian Young Ian pitched four innings of one-hit ball against Leadership to earn his first win and scored two of the team's three runs.
Monta Vista banged out 11 hits against Cleveland, including a three-run, inside-the-park home run by Rodrigues.
Senior Brian Kearns tagged two hits and drove in two runs for the Matadors. Junior Kent Perry was the winning pitcher, working the first four innings before senior Omar Naguib blanked the Oregon team over the final three frames.

MOST people buy their mother a card to celebrate their special day.
But one woman has created a wall of memories to mark her mother's 100th birthday.
Glenda White, 69, created ten memory boards - one for each decade of her mother's life - and proudly displayed them outside the family's home in Hillhead, Glasgow.
Loading article content
Although Gwyneth White received the traditional telegram from the Queen, it was the gift from her daughter that really made her day.
Surrounded by family, friends, and neighbours, Gwyneth, who is originally from Wales, yesterday celebrated her milestone.
Daughter Glenda, who she lives with in Great George Street, said: "I just felt reaching your 100th birthday is a huge achievement, it's very special. So it was important we marked it in a very special way.
"Each board tells the story of my mother's life. We worked on the boards together and it brought back lots of memories for my mother." The fit-as-a-fiddle centenarian said the secrets of her longevity were her "family, friends and faith".
Gwyneth, who has lived in Glasgow for the past 40 years, met her husband, Reverand Reginald White, in the 1930s. The couple married in August 1939 and were together until Reginald passed away in 2003. They had two children, daughter Glenda and son Landeg.
Gwyneth also has four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She will welcome relatives from as far afield as Trinidad and Portugal when she has another family party later in the year.

SHEFFIELD, England, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- British researchers say they've solved the mystery of how a cuckoo chick is able to hatch in advance of a host's eggs and brutally evict them from the nest.
Scientists at the University of Sheffield say female cuckoos "internally incubate" their eggs for 24 hours before actually laying them in a host victim's nest, giving the cuckoo egg a head start over the host's eggs, a university release said.
This allows the cuckoo chick to hatch before its nest mates, evict them and monopolize the food brought by the foster parents.
"The idea of internal incubation in birds has until now been considered impossible because it was assumed that female birds could not hold onto a fully formed egg," Tim Birkhead of the university's Department of Animal and Plant Sciences said.
"In fact, the idea of internal incubation by cuckoos was suggested as early as 1800, but then ignored.
"Our results show that internal incubation gives cuckoo chicks that crucial head start in life, allowing them to dispose of their nest mates -- a superb adaptation to being a brood parasite."
The study was published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society of London.

She looks, at first glance, like a bride left waiting at the altar: a young woman in a wedding dress of ivory, breast panel embroidered with gold thread, her hair just so, sitting alone in the reception area of a registry office. But it is all right. Bryony Turner's intended, Christopher Mackenzie, is just off in the loo and he is the only other person she needs. The witnesses will be staff from the hotel where they stayed last night. As for their families, well, they will find out later, once the deed has been done. That's the way they want it. 'When my brother and his wife got married, it was lovely,' Bryony says. 'But it was a lot of hard work and a lot of hassle and, anyway, neither of us fancied doing it in front of a lot of people.'
And so to the first wedding of the day. This is just one of the 4,500 marriages that will be registered here this year, at the modern redbrick office in the Scottish Borders town of Gretna. Between them, Gretna and its more famous twin village of Gretna Green, just up the road, have a population of 5,500. In other words, more people choose to get married at Gretna than live there. This is the gift that a curious wrinkle in legal history has bestowed upon the town's inhabitants: a thriving industry in the forging of souls.
Today, there are few tangible reasons for coming to Gretna to get married, save history. In 1754, Lord Hardwicke's English Marriage Act outlawed what were called 'clandestine marriages'. But the act did not apply to Scotland and so runaway couples crossed the border, where all that was needed for a marriage to be legally binding was two witnesses and one other person to overhear the vows. The village of Gretna Green was simply the first settlement you came to in Scotland. Thousands flocked here to be wed until, in 1939, the Scottish Marriage Act changed the law and introduced a requirement of 15 days' notice.
And yet still people come, in increasing numbers, to share in the romance of a place that boasts precious little of it. The local authority registry office was built in 1992 to cope with demand. It replaced the old one that used to be in the same building as the local dentist's. (During ceremonies, you could hear the whir of the drill.) It's now on Grand Parade in Gretna, although the only really grand thing about it is the name. It is a grey road with a short row of modern shops, many just catering for the brides and bridegrooms passing through. They flog wedding dresses and Scottish pipers, photographers and flowers. (A sign in the florist's window reads: 'Wedding bouquets, funeral wreaths', which pretty much covers the waterfront.)
Today, Gretna Green itself is just a place for tourists. In the old days, the third witness was often a blacksmith because you could always find one and so it became a tradition that couples were married over an anvil. Those who wed at the registry office usually slip up the hill to the old blacksmith's shop afterwards to have their wedding blessed over the old anvil that stands there.
Despite all this, the registry office is still charged with genuine emotion, even on a sodden, grey Friday in February. Bryony is grinning. Chris is a little nervous. He has forgotten the tape that they had prepared for the occasion. It was Seal's 'Kiss from a Rose'. No problem. Gretna has these things covered. One of the staff pulls up a thick, red file listing hundreds of songs. They have the track behind the counter. The marriage goes ahead with just six other people in attendance: the registrar, the witnesses, a two-person crew from French television and me. Before the ceremony proper, the registrar, Donna Gibson, makes small talk. 'This is a big surprise for everyone, is it?' she asks. Bryony grins some more. 'Yeah. It is.' A 10-minute ceremony, an exchange of rings, and it is done.
In the next room, the guests are congratulating Paul Langley and Chantell Tickle from St Helens, who have also just been married. (At Gretna, they have room for three weddings at once.) Their choice of music was Michael Bolton's 'I Promise You'. She's wearing a tiara. He's wearing a grey suit. Paul can't explain why they and 20 of their friends and relatives have come to Gretna. 'You'll have to ask Chantell.'
She says: 'I didn't want to get married in a church. But I wanted to do something different. And it's romantic, isn't it?' They make their way out the back of the building where Stephen the Scottish piper £35 to pipe you from the registry office is standing by in full kit. Paul booked him as a surprise for Chantell.
In the waiting room, Scott Mackenzie and Shani O'Regan from Inverness are ready. She's here with her mum. He's here with his sister. The registry office in Inverness is ugly, Scott says. You walk out into the bus station afterwards, and they didn't want that. Instead, they've come here. 'It's just romantic. It's the most famous place in the world.' Then he rests a hand on his wife-to-be and states the obvious. 'Also, Shani is six months pregnant, so we thought for the sake of the baby we'd come here.' Later on, they'll have the full blessing, but for now they're here to make it official. Donna marries them and everybody cries. 'It was really emotional,' says Shani.
Every wedding here is a tiny human narrative. Every wedding is for a different reason. Betty Ward is 59 and Peter Phillips is 68. She is in a neat burgundy two-piece suit. He is wearing a crisp blue blazer with a yellow carnation sitting pert in his buttonhole. Both have come up from Devon, where they have lived and worked together for 16 years. 'It's time to put our affairs in order as we get older,' Betty says. For both of them, it will be their second marriage.
They both admit to being disappointed by Gretna. 'I thought it would be a little villagey sort of place,' Peter says. But never mind. What's important is the wedding. They did not bring any witnesses. That role is performed by John, the cab driver who came to drive them back to the station afterwards, and by Laetitia, the French television producer who was only meant to be here to cover the story for a St Valentine's Day report. But that's what happens at Gretna. Hang around for long enough and you'll be asked to be a witness, too. Jan Bennett, who runs the dress-hire shop across the road, has done it more than 30 times.
Finally, at the last wedding of the morning, Colin Tron, 27, will marry Alison Tiffin, 32. Both are from South Shields. 'It's easier to get married here,' Colin says. 'And anyway, you fall out with family, don't you?' In any case, they already have family with them: Alison's two kids, Kennedy, 12, and Mark, seven, will be there to watch their mum marry their stepdad. Mark is given the rings to hold and sits, his little feet dangling above the ground, holding them down on to the cushion with his thumbs. He's frowning with concentration. But then it's a serious business, marriage, even when you're seven.
There will be six more weddings like this in the afternoon. Eleven in one day. 'It's a lot for winter,' says Donna. 'We usually expect this sort of thing in the summer.' In the peak months of June and July, all three rooms will be in use all the time. That's 21 weddings a day, six days a week. The only other time they get those sorts of numbers is on St Valentine's Day. But not this year. It's St Valentine's Day today Sunday and the registry office is always closed on Sundays.

Harriers attack Serbian 'war machine'
A child watches as a US B-52 bomber takes off from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire
RAF pilots have taken part in a fifth night of bombing operations against Serbian targets as thousands of Kosovo Albanians continue to flee.
About 60 Nato planes flew sorties over Yugoslavia, hitting tanks and troop transporters as well as fixed targets such as barracks and police stations.
Nato says Serb tanks, armour, artillery and troops will be targeted if they are found south of the 44th parallel, which runs 60 miles south of Belgrade.
French Defence Minister Alain Richard said the aim of the raids was to "attack the skeleton of Serbia's military and repressive machine".
Albanian exodus
The intensification of the air war comes amid claims that Serbian war crimes in Kosovo are creating Europe's worst refugee crisis since World War II.
Thousands of Kosovars are streaming across the border into Macedonia and Albania and giving consistent accounts of atrocities by Serbian forces.
Yugoslav government sources say only "one in 1,000" stories of atrocities is true and claim many of those leaving Kosovo are fleeing the bombing.
As Operation Allied Force enters its sixth day, Western political leaders said they would continue the air raids.
Protected by cloud cover
Group Captain Ian Travers Smith said the eight Harriers - only six of which carried bombs - may have been protected from anti-aircraft fire by cloudy weather in the Balkans.
He said: "The operation was successful and in my opinion the boys' tails are up."
But Gp Capt Travers Smith said the night's raid were "not without incident".
"We have seen incidents where we have been unlucky with the weather, but this time it looks like the weather may have helped us," he said.
'Morale booster'
One pilot, who declined to be named but had experience of operations in Bosnia and Iraq, said: "We are hugely relieved. It is such a morale-boosting thing."
Most of the Nato planes flew from the Aviano airbase in northern Italy but several US B-52 bombers took off from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire.
UK Defence Secretary George Robertson says there is evidence the Serb warlord Arkan, who has been accused of war crimes in Bosnia, was moving his supporters into Kosovo.
Meanwhile Albania's President Rexhep Meidani has rallied to the defence of his ethnic brethren and called for Nato ground troops to be sent into Kosovo.
But Nato leaders appear to have little appetite for such an idea.

CLEVELAND — The city has fallen months and sometimes years behind schedule in its inspections of thousands of elevators and wheelchair lifts, a newspaper reported Saturday.
Seventy-nine percent of the city's 3,800 active elevators have not been inspected since 2005, violating Cleveland's law that calls for annual safety checks, according to a Plain Dealer analysis of the city's inspection database from March.
Hundreds of elevators and lifts went unchecked for as long as five years, The Plain Dealer said. Inspectors found violations in nearly one of three elevators that were checked.
State law requires elevators to be checked twice a year and wheelchair lifts once a year by state inspectors. Cleveland uses its home-rule power to set its own standards and do its own inspections.
The city budgets for five elevator inspectors and a chief elevator inspector.
A wheelchair lift that the newspaper said was more than six months overdue for an inspection by the city was cited by the Cuyahoga County coroner in the death of an 84-year-old Parma woman May 7.
Jeanne von Sternberg died of head injuries the coroner attributed to her fall from the lift at Pilgrim Congregational United Church of Christ on April 29.
A report filed with the city by the Cleveland church states that the lift abruptly stopped, lurched and tipped, "causing Jeanne to fall off the unit onto the floor."

Innovation and Industry Evolution
It once took two decades to replace one-third of the Fortune 500; now a subset of new firms are challenging and displacing this elite group at a breathtaking rate, while armies of startups come and go within just a few years. Most new jobs are, in fact, coming from small firms, reversing the trend of a century. David Audretsch takes a close look at the U.S. economy in motion, providing a detailed and systematic investigation of the dynamic process by which industries and firms enter into markets, either grow and survive, or disappear. He shapes a clear understanding of the role that small, entrepreneurial firms play in this evolutionary process and in the asymmetric size distribution of firms in the typical industry. Audretsch introduces the large longitudinal database maintained by the U.S. Small Business Administration that is used to identify the startup of new firms and track their performance over time. He then provides different snapshots of the process of industries in motion: why new-firm startup activity varies so greatly across industries; what happens to these firms after they enter the market; the extent to which entrepreneurial firms account for an industry's economic activity and why that measure varies across industries; how small firms compensate for size-related disadvantages; and who exits and why. Audretsch concludes that the structure of industries is characterized by a high degree of fluidity and turbulence, even as the patterns of evolution vary considerably from industry to industry. The dynamic process by which firms and industries evolve over time is shaped by three fundamental factors: technology, scale economies, and demand. Most important, the evidence suggests that it is the differences in the knowledge conditions and technology underlying each specific industry -- key elements in innovation -- that are responsible for the pattern particular to that industry.

The Caravan for Peace that started in San Diego nearly a month ago reached Washington D.C. on Monday, the last stop on the journey to demand the end of the U.S.-Mexico drug war.
Today actor Gael Garcia Bernal joined poet Javier Sicilia and victims of the violence. Sicilia is a well-known Mexican poet who started the Movement for Peace after his son and six of his friends were killed last year.
"We have traveled across the United States to raise awareness of the unbearable pain and loss caused by the drug war—and of the enormous shared responsibility for protecting families and communities in both our countries," said Sicilia. "Our purpose is to honor our victims, to make their names and faces visible."
The caravan stopped in 25 cities across the country and held vigils, marches and community meetings. The goal, organizers said, was to push for an end to the drug war through drug prohibition, gun regulation, suspension of military aid to Mexico and other strategies.
The group considers it a U.S. and Mexico drug war because of the arms trafficking to Mexico from the U.S. and because of the northward flow of Mexican drugs.

We have seen a lot of talk lately about Recreational Catch Shares (coming to a Walmart near you).
But let's look at the logistics of a situation like this.
Now over in the commercial sector they had a vote, and since it did not come out the way they wanted, they then voted again, but this time weighted the vote based on historical take and surprise..surprise...surprise...the vote went through.
So in the recreational sector, how will we do it...
Surely they would not be stupid enough to put it to a vote as here in the GOM it would be a hand downs defeat; so it is almost a given it will be an edict from NMFS.
So now how will they decide who gets how many shares....we have no historical landings to go by...so I guess then it will be up to the highest bidder...or will you go down to Walmart and purchase your shares.
Will there be limits on how much someone can buy....will the limits be by boat or angler?
Will non-fishing people be able to buy shares to remove them from the fishery?
How will it all be enforced?
To me it seems to be a huge boondoggle.....

Jack vs. Jackson
What are your thoughts on Jack alone vs Jackson? Our list is down to Jackson, Mason, Owen, or Oliver. We are in discussion most with Jackson. I am arguing for Jack alone but hubby feels that Jack is short for Jackson and his name should just be Jackson. I offered Jax and he says that's a nickname, too. Any thoughts?
Thanks!<3 Shannon

Jack is not short for Jackson! Remind him it's a mediaeval form of John and that it's probably earned its status as a name in its own right after several hundred years of use, rather than the last 20-odd years in which Jackson has become trendy. I think this stems from the fact I dislike surnames as first names but IMO, Jack is much stronger and more classic and handsome than Jackson, which is clunky and reminds me of MJ. I also think Jack fits better with your daughter's name than Jackson. I vote for Jack!
June 18th, 2013 03:55 PM #5
I think Jack alone has definitely become a name on it's own, and not just a nickname. Just Jack is on my list simply because I don't like the option Jackson. If you like both Jack AND Jackson, then I think you should go with Jackson. That way you both get what you want in some way.
For what it's worth, both Ava and Jack/Ava and Jackson sound wonderful. Good luck!

The thematic force in the novel comes from its contrast of loneliness and community. There is tremendous loneliness endured by these characters, but also a fragile sense of community and the overwhelming need for human companionship. Thus, we see some of the negative forces that impel us – greed, anger, bitterness – but, much more than that, we see some of the positives, those moments of connection that make us all – to use another Scottish expression alongside that which informs the novel's title – Jock Tamson's bairns. And every character in the novel possesses a combination of these positive and negative impulses in varying degrees.
There is much to criticise in Of Mice and Men: it is too pat, too forced, too obvious, above all it is too melodramatic. From the outset there is only one possible way the narrative can end, and this ending is further emphasised all the way through the novel. At every turn it is obvious what will happen next: Curley will undoubtedly pick a fight with Lennie; Lennie will end up doing something bad and hiding out in the pre-appointed spot at the riverside; Curley's wife will be the catalyst which provokes Lennie's final midemeanour; the euthanasia of Candy's dog will foreshadow the ending. All of it flows with an inevitability too great to be truly satisfying. Chekhov's famous dictum is that, if a pistol appears in Act 1 it must be fired in Act 2. That is true, but in Of Mice and Men, when the pistol appears it has a sign hanging from it in large print saying "this pistol will be fired soon". All of this serves to lessen the emotional impact of much of the action. As a study of community in adversity it can't hold a candle to, say, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.
But, as ever with Steinbeck, there is so much to admire, and so much that is simply breathtaking. He manages to instil a sense of basic human decency in the most unpromising of material, and his characters are real, heartbreakingly flawed, trapped between the height of their aspirations and the depth of their fears. Only Curley, a one-dimensional pantomime villain, doesn't feel satisfying. The other characters live. Even Curley's wife, a character so indistinct she doesn't even warrant a name, nonetheless comes across as a living, breathing, self-deceiving woman, warranting dislike and pity in equal measure.
The narrative structure is deceptively simple, as much of Steinbeck's work is. The story is in three acts, each with two self-contained scenes. Through this, Steinbeck works a series of combinations of characters, each of them exploring different facets of the troubled community which subsists on the farm. Principally, of course, we have the story of George and Lennie. Lennie is a giant with the mind of an infant, mentally handicapped and incapable of comprehending the consequences of his actions. George is his friend, nobly sticking by him despite the fact that Lennie causes nothing but trouble. As the novel begins, they are on the move because Lennie was hounded out of Weed on suspicion of attempted rape. The reader is privileged with the knowledge that this was not an attempted rape: rather, attracted by the dress of a little girl, Lennie grabs it and refuses to let go, and when the child panics and tries to escape, this causes Lennie to panic too. As soon as we hear this, we know the scene will be replicated in some form as part of the novel's climax, and so it transpires. Lennie is incapable of change. But George is shown to be an honourable man: it would be easy for him to abandon Lennie, and few would criticise him for so doing, but he stands by him throughout.
The two men arrive at a new farm and they and we are therefore introduced to a new set of companions. Each of these is flawed in his own way. Most of them are shown to have some hidden dream. Only Carlson appears devoid of ambition or empathy. In turn, we are presented with a series of character combinations which begin to reveal the layers of human hope buried deep within the truculence of these working men. George and Slim, the main man in the mule team and the person to whom all of the men – even Curley, the owner's son – defer, offer the most intelligent analysis of their respective hopes and fears. It is through his discussions with Slim, for example, that we learn the nature and depth of George's friendship with Lennie. We know, too, that both George and Lennie aspire to have a smallholding of their own. When Candy, the ageing handyman who has lost a hand in an accident, hears the two talking of their dreams, he offers to help finance it with money he has saved from his compensation for the accident. Growing old, he knows he will soon become too useless to continue to work and will end up in a poor house. This is his means of escape, and he joins George and Lennie in the great dream. They will establish a community of the disconnected.
Later, when all the men have gone to a cathouse, leaving Lennie behind, he visits Crooks in his room. Crooks is black and disabled, a double outsider who is excluded from the community of men on the farm and suffers intense loneliness. He doesn't want Lennie invading his private space, and he knows the giant offers no real prospect of conversation, but he is also deeply lonely. It is Crooks who makes some of the most telling points in the novel. "A guy goes nuts if he ain't got anybody. Don't make any difference who the guy is, long's he's with you", he says aloud. Crooks is dismissive of the trio's grand plan for establishing their own place, but it is obvious, to us and him, that what he wants more than anything is to be included in their plans. He offers to join them for no pay. His is one of the most poignant histories in the whole novel, and when he is threatened by Curley's wife, his response is horrifyingly realistic. He turns himself into a non-person, divesting himself of all personality and outward appearance and disappearing into a shell of nothingness. He becomes a blank, an invisible man. It is the only means of escape for outsiders in a world dominated by those who disparage them. It speaks of cruelty and abuse. It was against this sort of intolerance that Rosa Parks rebelled in 1955 when she refused to make way on a Montgomery bus for a white person. For a moment, in that room, in Crooks's automatic defence mechanism, we are taken into another world, and it is a repellent place. This is beautifully, powerfully written. Crooks's defence is, of course, what Lennie cannot do: when Curley is looking for trouble, Lennie calls attention to himself by laughing at his own thoughts and Curley, thinking he is laughing at him, lashes out. The capacity for invisibility, then, is a powerful defence mechanism, and all too often it is called on by the dispossessed of the world.
There are a couple of animal relationships in the novel, too, and each of these is significant. Firstly, there is Lennie and his pets, a mouse in the opening scene which he has petted too forcibly and killed, and later a new-born pup which he is given at the new farm and which, again, he is too rough with and kills. Nothing Lennie does is out of malice: he simply does not understand his strength or the consequences to others of that strength. And secondly we have Candy and his old dog, a lame, ill, half-blind thing, probably not far from death. In an early scene, Candy is persuaded, against his will, that the dog needs to be put down and Carlson takes it out and shoots it. The dog is Candy's only friend. Companionship is lost. It is a poignant moment but, of course, the euthanasia of the dog, with a bullet in the back of the head, is a direct foreshadow of what George does to Lennie at the novel's conclusion.
The catalyst for that ending is the final meeting of Curley's wife and Lennie. From the outset, it is obvious what will happen, but it does not make it any less horrifying when it does. Again, Lennie cannot understand his own strength, again he is panicked by the panic of someone else, and again this fatal conjunction of events overwhelms him. He breaks Curley's wife's neck. Before this, however, we see something of her nature, and this scene is important in terms of turning her from being merely a McGuffin into a character in her own right. She is naïve, not particularly bright, as manipulable as she is manipulative. She dreams of a career in Hollywood but we know such dreams are as impossible for her as the dreams of a smallholding are for George and Lennie and Candy. She simply wants something better. She wants something good. In her heart, she knows it won't happen and she settles instead for marriage to Curley and a loveless life and endless longing.
Thus, through this series of character combinations we are taken into different conceptions of personal happiness and its link to community. There is genius at work in prosecuting these descriptions. To create sympathy for characters who are as resolutely self-centred or pathetic as some of the characters in Of Mice and Men is remarkable.
The ending, although utterly predictable, is nonetheless very complex. It is simplistic to portray it, as many have tried to when banning the novel from libraries, as advocating euthanasia. Clearly, there is a direct correlation being drawn between the killing of Candy's aged, infirm dog and the killing of Lennie: the inference, then, is that euthanasia for dogs and for humans should be regarded in the same way, and the concomitant of that, the argument goes, is that euthanasia for mentally ill people must therefore be acceptable. But that is too reductive an evaluation of what is happening in this novel. It ignores the rest of the contextual detail of the narrative and reduces everything to a contrast between those two events. This is exactly the opposite of what Steinbeck is trying to posit in this deceptively complex piece of fiction.
It is important not to make twenty-first century judgements when reading twentieth-century novels. It is important not to decontextualise the events of this novel and suggest that they must offer a single and perfect solution to any example of the issues raised. What Steinbeck so carefully displays in this novel is the complexity of human nature and human community. Within that particular community of men, at that time, the only course of action that was humane is that which they take: they kill the dog because it is in pain and nearing its end; George kills Lennie because he knows the alternative is either lynching or incarceration in a lunatic asylum. Both decisions were honestly made, both caused inconsolable pain to the people who made them. Within the fragile community of the farm, those were the only viable options. Within the structures and beliefs of that community they were the right decisions to make, the honorable thing to do.
To extrapolate from that and suggest that, in any circumstance, euthanasia is correct, is to simplify Steinbeck's narrative too much. If one attempts to do that, the beliefs of that close-knit community, which led to those decisions being made, are adulterated with modern-day sensibilities, and this renders the actions meaningless. It is for precisely this reason that Cormac McCarthy offers a completely neutral description of the violence of the 1840s west in Blood Meridian: to do otherwise, to filter it through modern-day sensibilities, would completely lose the impact of the story. Of Mice and Men must be read within the context of its own narrative, and any meaning which one can derive from it must be derived within that context. If one can take a message from George's actions at the end of the novel, it is not the facile suggestion that "euthanasia is correct", it is that "love forces us to do things we would rather not". That is an altogether different, and more complex, and more sombre message.

GRIT Sneak Peek: What Emerging Research Techniques Will Be Used In 2012?Monday, February 20, 2012, 20:43 pm 7 Comments
This is just a small taste of the fantastic analysis that will be in this GRIT report. While this excerpt only tells part of the story, what a story it is! The research industry is not just bullish but perhaps even excited about new methods, with MROCs, Social Media Research, Mobile, and Text Analytics leading the adoption curve with major growth expected across all four techniques. If these projections come to pass, 2012 won't be a tipping point, it will be an avalanche of change.

Great Northwestern Depot, Casper Wyoming
This was the former Great Northwestern Depot in Casper, Wyoming. The depot today serves as an office building, with the nearby rails having previously been featured here in the form of a rails to trails project that now runs through the center of Casper. I don't know the vintage of the depot.

Another Toronto Maple Leafs prospect is expected to make his NHL debut with the club.
Frederik Gauthier, a 2013 first-round pick, will become the 11th Leaf to make his NHL debut this season and ninth in the last three weeks when Toronto hosts the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night.
Gauthier and fellow rookie Josh Leivo were recalled from the AHL's Toronto Marlies on an emergency basis Saturday with Peter Holland joining a long list of injured Leafs and Brooks Laich absent for personal reasons.
Toronto could dress 11 players aged 23 and under again., Buffalo.
Gauthier has five goals and 11 assists in 52 games in his first AHL season. He is likely to play alongside Leivo and Connor Brown, who made his NHL debut Thursday.
Leivo, 22, has four goals in nine games with the Leafs this season while adding 14 goals and 26 assists in 45 contests with the Marlies. He was selected by Toronto in the third round, No. 86 overall, in the 2011 NHL entry draft.

The Secret Life of Algernon (1997)
Directed by Charles JarrottGenres - Comedy Drama | Sub-Genres - Romantic Comedy | Run Time - 104 min. | Countries - Canada |
Share on
Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
When an old war buddy suddenly (after a 20-year absence) reappears with a suitcase full of money, bottles of absinthe and a desire to kill himself, eccentric Algernon finds himself caught up in an increasingly ridiculous situation. Before Norbie Hess (Charles Durning) showed up, and just prior to meeting the beautiful, enigmatic Madge Clerisy (Carrie-Anne Moss) at his favorite antique store, Algernon (John Cullum) led a quiet life in the splendiferous home of his great grandfather, a world renowned Egyptologist. His only companion is Eulalia, a porcelain statue of a cat, with whom he converses. With no job, Algernon supports himself by selling off some of his grandfather's valuable finds at the antique store. Madge tells Algernon that she is an Egyptologist and interested in his great granddad's collection, but she is actually a treasure hunter who has heard that the old man may have taken his really valuable finds to the grave. Eulalia knows this and tries to warn him, but Madge is beautiful, Algernon is lonely and will not listen. The night that Norbie shows up, the two old buddies stay up reminiscing and sipping absinthe until Norbie grabs Algernon's war pistol and shoots himself. Afraid that he will be accused of murder, the poor Algernon buries Norbie beside his great grandfather in the backyard. Things become more hectic when the determined Madge shows up to dig up Algernon's ancestor.

SM East senior Emma Sullivan may have picked up thousands of supporters on the Internet — but her role in the past week's controversy appears to be making life less than comfortable close to home.
The national political news website Politico reported that Sullivan stayed home from school Monday on account of bullying via Twitter.
"East! I just got off the phone w/ dr. k, he knows this was never aimed at him & this is out of control. Lets move on," she tweeted Monday morning in response to the negative messages.
Meanwhile, several parents and students, worried about how the past week of national media attention would impact the school's reputation, spent Tuesday organizing demonstrations of unity.
A group of students held a rally at 75th Street and Mission Road Tuesday afternoon to show their support for principal Karl Krawitz, who has taken considerable heat for his request that Sullivan apologize to Gov. Sam Brownback. (You can see video of the rally from the Harbinger here).
One student at the event told a local radio station that Krawitz was "one of the best men ever" and that the group wanted to make sure the rest of the Kansas City community understood what an influential leader he had been for the school.
The support took root in social media channels as well. Senior Adam Lowe lobbied for his classmates to speak up on behalf of the principal via Twitter.
"Show support for Dr. Krawitz. He doesn't deserve this negative publicity. Just looking out for his students and school," Lowe tweeted.
A group of current and former parents also organized an email writing campaign to demonstrate their support for Krawitz — who has been the subject of petitions calling for his removal.
Superintendent Gene Johnson responded to at least one of those emails with a message reassuring parents that Krawitz's position was not in jeopardy:
Dr. Krawitz is, and will continue to be, the principal at Shawnee Mission East High School. He is a valuable member of Shawnee Mission's administrative team, and he will continue in that role as East's principal. There has been absolutely no discussions to the contrary.

More on the blog
The bf and I have been having fun venturing up into the hills and shooting some photos. This shot is overlooking Universal City which is gorgeous and of course, fun to see Universal Studios. If you read this blog you should know that I love a good T.U.K. creeper and these maroon ones I HAD TO HAVE for Fall. The velvet, the color….everything about them screams Fall. You may be asking "why are you wearing no clothes Chanelle? It's Fall already." Welp folks, not in LA (per usual). It's been about 90 the past few days and I'm trying to wear as less clothes as possible so I don't have to sweat to death. When I'm feeling a casual day this is my go-to skirt. It looks great with a long shirt over it and is so comfortable. I recently got my hair cut a little bit shorter and gave it a little more texture and I'm kinda obsessed, it's perfect for my vibe right now and I can't wait to rock beanies with it.
LA Fashion Week starts this week and I'm probably going to keep it simple and only hit up the LA Fashion Council shows at The Grove (which I can walk to! yes!). I'll be instagram-ing all week about it so be sure to follow the play by play!

He made the announcement at a conference he hosted with Technology Ventures Corp. at Santa Fe Community College Monday on ways to help create economic development by encouraging technology transfer to private entrepreneurs.
Other co-hosts of the event were: Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory, the Regional Development Corporation and Santa Fe Community College.
In addition to multiple panel discussions featuring state experts, Udall delivered the keynote address and outlined his proposed bill to support tech transfer.
Tentatively called the Technology Transfer Invention, Innovation and Implementation Act, its objective is to streamline the process for getting research and development from state universities and national labs to the marketplace.
"New Mexico is home to some of the brightest minds in science and some of the most innovative entrepreneurs," Udall said in a news release. "If we can harness that potential, New Mexico can lead the nation in high-tech innovation."
John Freisinger, president & CEO of TVC, said Udall's initiative represents a bold new vision of what is possible in technology transfer.
Udall's bill, which will be introduced in the fall, tackles the challenges in three parts.
It would:
• Permanently authorize new tools for the Secretary of Energy's new department-wide technology transfer office to enable DOE to implement tech transfer responsibilities, and measure and report their progress.
• Authorize the DOE to create a new Entrepreneurs in Energy Corps (E2-Corps), modeled after the National Science Foundation's Innovation Corps, to support investments in entrepreneurs, mentors, scientists and engineers.
• Adapt an existing public-private partnership model used by the Small Business Administration and USAID for economic development and apply it to technology transfer in a way that realigns incentives to make tech transfer an elevated priority in the DOE's mission.

[MLS] The New York Red Bulls waived Danny Cepero, one of the unlikely stars of their run to the MLS Cup 2008 final,
along with two other players on Friday.
Cepero, taken in the 2007 MLS Supplemental Draft out of Penn, was with the Red Bulls for three seasons.
His departure leaves Bouna Coundoul as the only goalie under contract. Former USL-1 star Bill Gaudette accompanied New York on its trip to Spain.
Costa Rican Carlos Johnson and Argentine Walter Garcia, both defenders, were also waived. They joined New York in 2009.
New York also did not pick up midfielder Matthew Mbuta's option. He completed his first full season with New York after signing late in the 2008 campaign from Crystal Palace Baltimore.

The last FC Real Bristol x Nike collaboration hit Japan in late December on a couple of mastermind co-signed Air Max 2012s. Prior to that, this fragment design x Uniform Experiment teamup had crafted a Solar Soft Sandal, and they must have liked the result because here's another summer sneaker with the same sole stuff. The F.C.R.B. x Nike Solarsoft Waffle Cruiser will arrive at FCRB retailers this Saturday, May 25th in a couple of colorways that are similar to some seen on the Solarsoft smash hit Roshe Run. You might not be able to get your hands on these here in the States, so that exclusivity along with a $58 pricetag means these will go fast.

A Tribe Called Quest finally talk about their documentary
Maybe you heard, A Tribe Called Quest had a documentary made about them. By this guy.
Who you know from below-par 90s films such as Metro and True Romance. Fuck knows why he was chosen as director? Apparently Q-Tip was impressed by his "enthusiasm". To be fair, he has some experience rapping on some shitty comedy that no-one ever watched. And the first three letters of his last name spell R-A-P. Apart from that, he's never even made a film before.
The only trailer that has been doing rounds on the internet was an unofficial (and unsynced) ditty called Beats Rhymes and Fights (the film's actually called Beats, Rhymes and Life, after Tribe's fourth album).
They showed the whole thing at Sundance, without approval from Tribe. Hence the controversy, and a bunch of angry tweets from Q-Tip.
If you've read this far, you should probably just watch the full MTV interview with Q-Tip, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Jarobi (on the phone).
They talk about a whole lot, including how Rapaport "deceived" them, and why Phife didn't show. The email Q-Tip reads out is pretty fucked up.
Hopefully they agree on a final cut soon, and we get to see the film. In the meantime, watch this.

Rupert Murdoch - A Portrait of Satan
Rupert Murdoch is "the world's most sinister man". And not just because he shunned his Australian citizenship for American naturalisation. It is because he is Satan.
BBC journo Adam Curtis has done what I've always wanted to do but was too busy watching football and getting drunk to do, and collected an amazing bunch of film clips and text, charting Murdoch's rise from being just a bit of a cunt, to the devil himself.

This is part two of our first installment of Ask The Readers (click here for part one), contributed by Matt Ruggieri of The Motley. I thought it'd be interesting to hear thoughts regarding this discussion from the perspective of a small business owner, and Matt is a perfect candidate. The Motley takes the customer's online experience to heart, and I'm sure he'll have some other thought-provoking questions to ask as well.
Can't see The Motley Ships a Package? Click here to view.
Enter Matt
Like Barron, I'm an avid online shopper and that is one of the very reasons that I started up The Motley a year ago. My goals were to provide the best customer service possible (there is no reason that a company shouldn't be able to), product understanding and a no-hassle return policy.
Let's face it – it is impossible to compete with a giant like Amazon or Walgreens.com, but providing a better experience for the same price is likely to shift the customers in our direction. We provide responsive customer service and fast order fulfillment – something that these giants are losing touch with. Another thing that we pride ourselves on is our highly-curated selection with a growing knowledgebase. It's important that we carry the best products that we can get our hands on and offer the most information we can about them. Researching, finding revolutionary brands and establishing relationships stands for half of what we do. It is impossible for the mass retailers to do what we do.
The most difficult part of e-commerce for us to compete with is shipping. Shipping costs are increasing and those that ship out large quantities have much lower rates. It is not feasible for a company of our size to offer entirely free shipping (we currently offer complimentary shipping on orders over $25). However, when we do have to charge for shipping, we believe that it is reasonable to split the costs with the consumer.
Barron has some fantastic questions and I'd like to add a few for debate.
- How does shipping costs (versus convenience, which Barron pays for in Amazon Prime) play into purchasing from an online retailer?
- How does product and brand knowledge play into this process?
- When do you prefer to order from a mass outlet verses an independent retailer?
- Any products or brands that would be a killer add to The Motley?
- Lastly, feel free to share anything that you found extremely cool about a particular experience at an online retailer.
What say you?
We'd love to hear what you have to think. Leave your thoughts in the comments below and Matt and I will be sure to respond. Cmon now, don't be shy.

3:10:59 or better.
Of course you guys want to run stride-for-stride and finish in sub-3:11.But what happens if you guys get to mile 20 in 2:25 (roughly 3:11 pace) and you start to hurt but Adimal feels good? The answer for me is C, if we hit 20 at the right time and jtpaten is faltering and I am not hopefully he can still get the 3:15. Personnally I am doing all I can (physically and mentally) not to let the opposite happen, he qualifies and I do not. Yes I have much more to chew off but I am much faster at this point in the season than this time last year. Hey we've managed to run 5 marathons together and never finished more than 3-4 minutes apart and I've always been the one on the short end of the stick. C) Do you go your separate ways where Adimal stays strong and runs a 3:10 while you falter a bit but still run 3:15?Thanks to everyone for all the advice, it's great, now we must decide and not disappoint! We are both ready for the pfitz 18 week plan!
