4.5 Ben Drew shezzaxx | 13/04/2008 | See all shezzaxx's reviews (1) One of the best artists i've ever heard. Definitely one of my favourite of all time. Who Need Actions & the Paint It Blacker album prove that he has pure talent. His lyrics may seem harsh but you can all relate to them. Those things do happen. Comparing him to Eminem & co. is an understatement!! Worth buying!! He's fantastic.
4.5 genius lukepelley | 24/05/2007 | See all lukepelley's reviews (1) if you have heared of him or not, this man is an absolute legend. British rap is on the rise due to artists such as himself.The lyrics are harsh but real and many people will be able to relate to the topics and warnings he puts across.armed with an acustic guitar you might not think it would work but believe me its perfect.A must buyserious
4.5 Time for plan b XscubasteveX182 | 18/05/2007 | See all XscubasteveX182's reviews (34) A rapper with an acoustic guitar sounds like disaster right? WRONG. You may not have heard of this bloke but you will wish you did because this album one of the greatest albums you may not have heard of.Yes he raps but not like eminem or 50 cent. No this is real rap about real life experiences and is raw as you can possibly get. The lyrics are violent but true he talks about hoody teen culture (kidz), child abuse (tough love) his mother going out with a crack head (mama) to name just a few of the subjects he has chosen to talk about which in cludes an accident happenin in reverse.Playing with different characters and personas to get his message across. Each song follows a story of sum kind relating to him or someone else whether they are true or not u never really know.His lyrics are not spit at a super sonic speed to which you cant't actually what he is saying unlike sum rappers. He raps at a medium tempo with enough rhythm and emotion to make you feel like hes actually talking to you in person.His lyrics are hard hittin whether you like it or not. On a few of these songs he does use a beat but you feel as if he's more at home when hes playing his guitar.His styles leans closer towards the streets more than anything but this is more of a compliment than anything else. This is the best rap album you probably havent even heard of!!

BOOKS about Dorothea Tanning's poetry. One is not sure what sort of poems to expect from a centenarian, but Dorothea Tanning's second book, "Coming to That" (Graywolf; $15), comes as a surprise. At a hundred and one, Tanning is the self-described "oldest living emerging poet." Tanning is also the oldest living Surrealist, a tag she dislikes but cannot shake. Her father fought beside his friend Carl Sandburg in the Spanish-American War; Sandburg checked in on Tanning from time to time. In 1942 Max Ernst visited her studio in New York and admired an untitled self-portrait of Tanning. Ernst suggested the title "Birthday," stayed to play chess, and fell in love. The two were married for nearly thirty years. Much of "Coming to That" is retrospective; Tanning has a lot of past to cover. But it is also about living in the future, an experience someone might glibly call "surreal." Beginning in the late sixties, Tanning did a series of soft sculptures made mostly from tweeds and other fabrics, many suggesting the female body. She wanted them to last no longer than a human life; unlike sculptures in marble or plaster, these would fall apart at roughly the same rate as a human body. Mini cliffhangers abound in Tanning's poetry, a playful answer to the serious problem of how, at a hundred and one, to regard passing time. But there is no dread of mortality in Tanning. Neither is there any "acceptance," or its blustery twin, "defiance." Consigned to the here and now, Tanning sometimes gives us a kind of dreamy, metaphysical small talk—the most defiant use of one's time imaginable, if time is short.

Michelle Yvette at NZFW - Review
Michelle Yvette
Autumn/Winter 2011
'Hitchcock's Muse'
Michelle Yvette's aptly titled 'Hitchcock's Muse' collection wowed on the runway at NZFW last night – think full on 50's and 60's glamour, with a fun and modern twist.
Michelle said to us that her inspiration for the collection was the women of Alfred Hitchcock's films, who were "very feminine, seductive and at the same time, intelligent. The perfect Michelle Yvette woman!"
The collection certainly had that 50's va-va-voom factor – there was a leopard print shift dress, fitted blazers, and pencil skirts, plenty of florals, elaborate headpieces, and layers of pearls. And of course, each look was finished to perfection with fire engine red matte lips, and seductive winged eyeliner.
Michelle's designs are a celebration of femininity and seduction – cheeky lace hot pants were teamed with cute blazers and sky-high heels, and it was nice to see the models play up on the runway. No nonchalant looking models in this show – rather they were smiling, and playful on the runway.
Michelle's favourite pieces from the collection were her coats. "I love combining the structure, colour and feminine detailing to create something original that makes a statement". And original they were – the bright orange trench coat was a standout and a nice surprise.
I always love a nod to the glamour of yesteryear, and Michelle Yvette did it perfectly, while still keeping her designs modern, fresh and sexy.

I add acai powder to my blueberry smoothie for a nutritional boost. I like having the freeze-dried product because it offers more of the fruit than acai juice. And it is easier to handle and more cost effective than the juice.

I love acai protein shakes. I ran out of powder and was using frozen acai pulp smoothie packets only to flavor my protein shakes. Now that I have a new supply of acai powder I don't like the powder in my protein shakes. But Navitas Naturals powders are good quality. I guess I just prefer the frozen pulp instead now.

Asthma: Why are symptoms worse during my period?
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/asthma/AN01999

James Li, M.D.
"People with allergy or asthma can lead full and healthy lives." — Dr. James Li
Dr. James Li is chair of the Division of Allergic Diseases in the Department of Internal Medicine and a board-certified asthma and allergy specialist. He hopes his expertise and the information on the site educates health care consumers in an area of rapid change both in medications and diagnoses.
"There are a lot of misperceptions about allergy and asthma," says Dr. Li, a New York City native who has been with Mayo since 1985 and works with a group of subspecialists in allergy, asthma and immunology. "I believe it's important to provide truthful, accurate information about allergy and asthma to the public. The more people know, the better they can take care of these conditions."
Dr. Li is a professor of medicine at College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic. He's a past director of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, the American Board of Allergy and Immunology, and the American Board of Internal Medicine. He's a fellow in the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
The American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology honored him with the Distinguished Service Award, and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology with its Special Recognition Award.

from James T C Li, M.D., Ph.D.
Just before and during your period, levels of progesterone and estrogen decrease. In some women, these hormone changes may worsen asthma. The relationship between hormones and asthma is complex, varies between individuals and isn't fully understood.
Along with women's menstrual cycles, other things that cause changes in hormone levels may also worsen or improve asthma symptoms. These include:
- Irregular periods. Asthma symptoms in women with irregular periods may be worse than they are in women who have regular periods.
- Birth control medications. Birth control pills and shots affect estrogen and progesterone levels and may ease asthma symptoms in some women.
- Pregnancy. Pregnancy may increase the risk of having a severe asthma attack. For some women, however, hormone changes during pregnancy may actually improve asthma symptoms.
- Menopause. Dropping hormone levels associated with menopause may make asthma symptoms worse for some women.
- Hormone replacement therapy. Hormone replacement with estrogen or progesterone may improve asthma symptoms in some women who have gone through menopause. But, study results are conflicting, and hormone replacement appears to worsen asthma in some women.
If you have bothersome asthma symptoms during your period, your doctor may recommend that you increase your asthma control medication or take a different medication before your period starts.

"Ramp It Up: Skateboard Culture in Native America" Opens Friday
Skateboarding often gets a bad rap; "long-haired slackers in baggy pants." Right?
But the upcoming Ramp It Up: Skateboard Culture in Native America exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian says otherwise, celebrating, instead, the positive contributions of American Indian skate culture. After all, rebelliousness can be the stuff of creativity in filmmaking, graphic art and design.
Skateboarding is one of the most popular sports on Indian reservations. There are Native American skate teams, as well as Native American-owned skateboard companies. The exhibition, which opens this Friday, is a multimedia feast that includes skating footage, archival photographs of Native American skateboarders and Native American-designed skate decks (the platforms of skateboards, for those who were wondering). I emailed documentary filmmaker Dustinn Craig (White Mountain Apache/Navajo) to discuss some of the finer points of both skateboarding and filmmaking.
4wheelwarpony from Dustinn Craig on Vimeo.
What do you think are some positive effects that skateboarding has had on Native American youth based on your experiences?
I think that the effects skateboarding has on those who manage to become skateboarders transcends race, gender, ethnicity, social class, etc. Not everyone who begins or tries to skateboard actually becomes a skateboarder. For some it's just a passing phase, or a hobby or a trend, but for some it becomes a part of their identity. For me the impacts have been very positive only because I chose to focus on the positive aspects of skateboarding. I was lucky enough to have some natural ability that helped me to learn tricks and to ride, and eventually become good, not great, but just good, slightly above average for my time which was the early 90′s. Because of skateboard magazines, I was exposed to a wide variety of art, music, photography and youth culture. If you sift through all of this, you will find stuff that is self-destructive or negative just like all activities and lifestyles. Skateboarding is a microcosm for the world; there is much that is good and bad, and it's up to the individual to find a balance that hopefully is positive. I have seen aspects of skateboard culture destroy people, and I've seen it make them better people.
Do you think there's a certain aspect of your personality that inspires you to film others?
I think that everyone films others when they feel the need to snap a picture to capture a moment or facial expression, or scene. These images, whether they [are] moving or still help us to remember, or translate, the feelings or intentions that prompted us to capture or create these images. In my case, I tend to want to take a picture, or moving pictures, as an openly defiant act of resistance to the imagery that is not created by people from our communities. When I say community, I mean both the Native community and the skateboard community. There are plenty of capitalist goons who use these communities and cultures as a platform to showcase their mediocre art, photography and ideas, when they are not of these communities or cultures to begin with. These types are culture vultures, the lowest form of scum! This is pathetic and very difficult to clarify for most outsiders who can only catch a glimpse into the communities and cultures that we might be a part of. So few can actually say they know our experience, because they have experienced it too, so it's easy for the uninformed to believe that people or organizations are legitimate, just because they create material or product that utilizes Native Culture or skateboard culture.
More from Dustinn Craig after the jump.
What kind of connection between skateboarding and Native American cultures did you wish to reveal with your experimental film "4wheelwarpony?"
The film "4wheelwarpony" is a very intimate portrait of skateboarding in my home community. This context is that of specifically White Mountain Apache Skateboarders and their experience since the 1970′s. Skateboarding has a special legacy in our hometown, and I am proud to say that we have always had good skateboarders, and that skateboarding has managed to thrive in some form on our reservation for as long as I have lived, maybe even longer. I think that is special as a lifelong skateboarder, and as a contemporary generation X'r, or whatever I might be classified as. It's just nice to have a real story and recent history in your community that goes well beyond bad Hollywood adaptations of skateboarding in films, or video games and the "extreme" marketing craze of the last several years. That's not to discount those who are new to skateboarding, but to illustrate that some places and communities have roots. In our case, the White Mountain Apache Skateboarders, our roots run deep.
We are still living on the aboriginal territory of our ancestors; our traditional culture and language is still intact, and the stories of our collective experience still live with us. When it comes to skateboarding, we also have our recent contemporary history of skateboarding culture as it evolved on our reservation over the last 30 or so years. Many of the older skateboarders of the 70′s had younger brothers and cousins that became skaters in the 80′s, then the 90′s and so on. What "4wheelwarpony" is trying to convey is that we are of both an ancient culture that predates American, but also we are of skateboarding culture. The irony being that like our traditional culture, skateboarding is also an indigenous American culture that has evolved into what it is today in less that 50 years. In that way, we have two incredible cultures thriving side by side in our specific community until they are inseparable from one another. I don't think I could remove the skateboarder from myself, or my identity as a White Mountain Apache. I just know I am. Though I always have to stress that not everyone becomes a skateboarder, or can. I don't know what ingredient that is, but I do know through my own life experience that not everyone has it. In the same way that everyone who writes is not a poet, or novelist. Not everyone can be a filmmaker, doctor, mathematician etc.
Why do you think it's important that Native Americans get a chance to get their voices heard in film?
It is important because until recently, people of color, not just Native Americans, have had their images distorted by those who have oppressed them. As a result, so much of what is distributed about us is misinformed or distorted. So we owe it to ourselves and our posterity to reclaim our images, stories and perspective.
What do you hope audiences take away from your films?
I hope they see that there is an effort made at honesty.
Do you have any desire to make feature-length movies in the future?
Just about everyone I know entertains that idea, but the reality is that few will be able to do that, but more importantly, do it well. Just like skateboarding! I think I show some promise and have some technical ability, and I hope to accomplish it one day, but only time will tell. But that won't mean that I will have become a filmmaker. I've proven that on a local and national level, as a hobbyist and as a working professional, so I know I'm a filmmaker already. My own personal question is will I be a filmmaker with the ability to create a variety of film styles effectively? There are skateboarders who can ride different terrain and have their own preferences or areas where they feel most comfortable. The same goes for filmmaking—I am confident in my creative ability so far, but I know I am still growing as a filmmaker and hope to do so for as long as I am able.
So most of what I've read just discusses your filming of other skaters. How are your own skating skills these days?
That is always so subjective, so let me try to create something to illustrate where I was. A sport like basketball has all these levels! You have young people that are really good at their local level or school, then the few kids good enough to play at the college level, and those very few who make it to the pros. If skateboarding was a sport like that, then I may have been able to ride for a very small out-of-the-way community college, and may not even have been a starter.
I did know and ride with guys I see in the magazines today, and that's neat, but I knew even back then that those guys had something special that was beyond my ability.
I was at my skateboarding prime between the ages of 17 to 21, I was good then and I am 33 now. These days I still skateboard, but it's different because now I have responsibility. I have my family, a mortgage, a profession and those are my priorities. So when I skateboard today I am always conscious of the reality that if I get hurt I put all those I just mentioned in jeopardy. Still, I can't bring myself to let it go completely. I have to ride my skateboard because it's such a part of who I am, and what helped to create who I have become. So I try to stay within my ability, but that's hard because the old ego always pushes you to try and do things that used to come effortlessly in your heyday. So these days I skate two to three times a week if I am lucky, and when I am working I might take gaps that are months long, and when that happens I have to try very hard to regain my strength, endurance and mental focus to get back to a level that is comfortable and enjoyable. That can take weeks or months to regain, so it's even more precious than it was when I was young, if that makes any sense. One thing I dreamed about when I was young was the prospect of skateboarding with my own child, and I am happy that my 13-year-old son has become a skateboarder on his own, and now I skate with him. That is very surreal for me.

text: mikelernerphotography: Thanks for the opportunity, kid. Thanks for always being gracious and kind to me. Justin's a great guy to work for. He never yelled or was a dick to me. I never took a photo at the wrong time because we had an understanding. He always took a second to sign something or make a little video for a family member. He didn't have to, he could've easily been a diva, but he's a good kid and I hope for the best for his future. Despite what anyone reading this thinks, just take into account he is always kind to me. So as Patrick Stump once said, THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES! jbnewss Source: mikelernerphotography

Asia Tours
- Thailand
- China
- Cambodia
- Vietnam
- Tibet
There is no simple way to describe the wealth of opportunity that Asia travel offers the adventure seeker. Markets and bazaars, souks and stupas, ancient ruins constructed by grand civilizations long gone, modern cities and villages where life goes on much as it has for centuries. From the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, Delhi, Beijing, Amman and Kathmandu to the overwhelming immensity of the Himalayas, an Asia tour provides the traveller with as much to marvel at as Marco Polo and the explorers of old. Whether you're looking to cross Mongolia, follow the Silk Road to China, trek to Everest base camp, explore Tibet, visit Vietnam or island hop in southern Thailand, Asia is waiting to entrance you.

The Alzheimer's Association was honored to present legendary singer Glen Campbell and his family, with its Sargent and Eunice Shriver Profiles in Dignity Award. Honorees also included Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), receiving the Alzheimer's Association Humanitarian Award, Dr. Russell Katz, the retiring Director of the Office of Drug Evaluation- Division of Neurology Products at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will be presented with the Alzheimer's Association Ronald and Nancy Reagan Research Award, and Ron Grant of Oklahoma will receive the Alzheimer's Association Advocate Award. Each award recipient was acknowledged for the critical work they are doing in the fight against Alzheimer's.

This stylish outpost is near the beach in Fanore. You can watch the water from the vast, glassed-in terrace or enjoy lounging inside. The food is Med- accented and you can get picnic supplies for the beach.
Wonderful spot on the main street leading away from the harbour where you can feast on dishes like crunchy Bellingham blue cheese polenta or wild Wicklow venison stew as well as a fine selection of fish.
Seafood is superbly presented at this dignified, genteel seafood restaurant. Fish and shellfish are delivered daily fresh from the docks; the local prawns and larger crustaceans are especially good here.
There's a postmodern sense of experimentation at this art-filled restaurant. Locally sourced produce is complemented by flavoursome accompaniments like wholegrain mustard, minted peas and celeriac purée.
With a great atmosphere and comfy traditional decor, this Kenmare favourite serves a great range of creative sandwiches and Irish dishes with a dash of European flair. The homemade desserts are the bomb.
The cottage is small, but the flavours are big at this much-loved bistro. Salads, soups and sandwiches are the deal at lunch, while at night there's a range of meats and seafood with fusion preparations.
The classic deep-blue and white exterior plus the beguiling logo make you want to walk inside; you should. Locally sourced foods (purveyors are listed) star on a creative and changing menu of fresh fare.
Heaving at lunchtime when locals descend to dine on the huge range of filled bagels, soups, nachos and specials such as quesadillas, this friendly, informal place is one of the town's most popular cafes.
Displays of cute, luscious cakes pull you in. Displays of local art keep you interested and the coffees and sandwiches keep you fuelled. If you feel a creative urge, you can arrange for painting lessons.
Irish artisan foods line the shelves in the deli section while mouth-watering creations line the menu on the cafe side. This is an ideal place for a pit stop while you unravel Waterford's medieval past.
Just across the street from the Dylan hotel, this bright and cheery spot does a roaring trade for Sunday brunch – and you've a good chance to spot an Irish celeb or two. The eggs Benedict are excellent.
Charismatic chef Redmond Cabot utilises locally sourced, organic seasonal produce to create a fusion of Italian/Irish cuisine. The hip, open-plan industrial-style space occupies a converted linen mill.
You'll find a smart menu at this elegant restaurant, with dishes like wood pigeon and duck sharing the space with North African delicacies like baked Moroccan fish with chickpeas, tomato and coriander.
From great coffee and cakes to an excellent menu of inviting dishes – including the likes of Penang chicken, vegetarian curry and Asian marinated salmon – this is a wonderful place to eat or linger in.
The tank full of lobsters and the three wooden yachts in the window give the game away – award-winning O'Connor's offers Bantry seafood at its posh best. It's an exquisite experience and one to savour.
The most appealing pub in town, with a tidy red and blue facade and some polished wooden benches and picnic tables out the front for enjoying the views. Pub food intermingles with fresh local seafood.

Could Packers Trade Up in 2012 NFL Draft to Pick a Pass Rusher?
The day was April 25, the Saturday of the 2009 NFL draft, and Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson had a franchise-altering decision staring him in the face.
As he sat in the Packers' war room, having already acquired nose tackle B.J. Raji from Boston College with the ninth overall pick, there was a name he couldn't shake and a need he knew he needed to fill.
The name was Clay Matthews, and the need was 3-4 outside linebacker.
Matthews, a wavy-haired overachiever with Hall of Fame bloodlines, remained available as the first round came to a close. A walk-on at USC who didn't play full-time until his senior year, Matthews was an ideal pass rushing outside linebacker for his new defense. And Thompson knew that if there were two positions most important to making the Packers' new 3-4 defense under defensive coordinator Dom Capers work, it was nose tackle and outside linebacker. Raji was the answer inside, Matthews could be the same on the edge.
In his hand was a weapon he rarely held, and uncharacteristically, Thompson pulled the trigger.
A man notorious for trading back in the draft to stockpile picks, Thompson sent a second and two third-round picks to the New England Patriots for the No. 26 pick in the first round and a later fifth rounder.

Franz Ferdinand
Franz Ferdinand are an indie rock band formed in 2002, and based in Glasgow, Scotland. The band is composed of Alex Kapranos (lead vocals and guitar), Bob Hardy (bass guitar), Nick McCarthy (rhythm guitar, keyboards and backing vocals), and Paul Thomson (drums, percussion and backing vocals). The band first experienced chart success when their second single, "Take Me Out", reached No. 3 in the UK Charts, followed by their debut album, Franz Ferdinand, which debuted on the UK album chart at No. 3. The band went on to win the 2004 Mercury Music Prize, and two BRIT Awards in 2005 for Best British Group and Best British Rock Act. NME named Franz Ferdinand as their Album of the Year. From the album, three top-ten singles were released: "Take Me Out", "The Dark of the Matinée", and "This Fire". They were part of the mid-2000s post-punk revival along with Arctic Monkeys and Kaiser Chiefs.[citation needed] The band's second album, You Could Have It So Much Better (2005), was a platinum-selling album in the United Kingdom and gold-selling in the United States. The album topped the UK Album Charts, and made the top ten in the Billboard 200 in the US. The album produced the hit single "Do You Want To", amongst many other singles. After the release of You Could Have It So Much Better, the band took some time recording their third album, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand, which was released internationally on 26 January 2009, and made the top ten in the United Kingdom and the United States. "Ulysses" was released as the lead single, although "No You Girls" proved to be popular, being their second longest-charting single in the UK, after "Do You Want To" (2005). The band has been nominated for several Grammy Awards. They have been nominated for several BRIT Awards in the UK, and have won an NME Award. With their three studio albums, the band sold over three million albums worldwide in 2009.

I was just reading the headlines on a local paper and the breaking news was some woman had been shot in the leg walking down the street.I´m sure she´s laying in the hospital bed wondering why Obama´s exe. orders didn´t help her.The pure insanity of punishing law abiding citizens while the criminal element goes untouched is beyond my level of comprehension,just like Obama defenders saying his kids are more important than other people´s kids.At least Obama didn´t propose putting more signs up around schools..Or did he?

It seems the purpose of all this is simply to cement the messages "Democrats Care" and "Republicans Don´t Care" into the already clouded minds of the electorate. To fully implement socialism with a disarmed citizenry, the pro-Obama majority must be made still larger and unable to "revert" in sympathy back to constitutionalism. Painting Democrats - regardless of their actions or the failed results of their actions - as moral superiors is definitely the way to go, especially as no resistance to this arrogant stance is ever, ever offered by the GOP.

John, you are missing the point. Not every proposal will impact all types of murders equally, because not every type of murderer is the same.You have determined criminals...they will steal, come up with other options, etc. Yes, they may kill while conducting crimes, but these aren´t your mass murderers of innocents.You have family/acquaintance violence of passion. On rare occasions these take out several family members/acquaintances at once, but these are generally instant crimes of passion. Most of the knife or bare hand murders are here.And then you have the Tucson, Aurora and Newtown type mass murderers - delusional and/or psychotic individuals. If you can make ir more difficult for this group to get a gun or magazine, then they don´t have the mental resources to dream up alternatives which are not part of their delusion. They are highly unlikely to try to steal one already in existence, except one already in their home, such as in Newtown. Doctors do need to ask such individuals and their families about weapons; Nancy Lanza should not have had so many weapons, so much ammunition, in her home with Adam living there.

The seminar poster,The Lagomorph, misses the point. Obama´s proposals will do nothing to prevent the types of mass shootings which this E.O. is touted as targeting. If Obama and the left were really serious about killings and violence, they would focus on cracking down on gangs and implementing common sense crime control measures. He´s not, hence these stupid E.O.s. As usual, the left and the Lagomorph eat this up with a spoon. He ´´cares.´´But does nothing except posture.And no, Dr.s have no right digging into your personal life on the orders of the government.Is the Lagomorph´s real name Winston Smith?

Actually, he´s not directing doctors to ask about guns--he´s just saying that they are not prohibited from doing so (which is open to dispute, and disputes are already in the making). I think that "appoint an ATF director" says a lot about what´s going on here--it´s flagrant "padding", just something to give him another another EO to list so he will look like he´s "doing something". I´m kind of surprised, he´s kind of voting "present" on this one and tossing it into Cogress´ lap IMO. Click Here if you Like this Comment
They are setting precedence. By allowing these EO´s about guns to stand because we don´t think they are that bad, he sets precedence for using the EO for gun control in the future with more harsh legislation. Click Here if you Like this Comment

#10, the Newtown and Aurora murderers are both highly intelligent men. They would certainly have devised some other way to cause the mayhem they craved.You seem to be forgetting, too, that Holmes had rigged/booby-trapped his apartment to explode, in order to distract the first responders. He would have succeeded in that, too, had his trigger device fired off correctly. It took authorities days to clear out his explosives. Click Here if you Like this Comment

"We tune 'em up, beat 'em down, lock 'em up. The Western District way." Herc is at home on the streets, knocking heads, conducting street sweeps and slapping bracelets on young hoppers. Dedicated and well-meaning on the one hand, Herc finds temptation challenging on the other - especially when there's a payday involved... whether it lines its own pockets or furthers a case through improper means. Herc scored high enough on a sergeant's test to win promotion, but was denied thanks to a lack of political connections - and his long, awkward history of brutality complaints. Determined to make rank, he transferred out of the Western drug unit to the Mayor's security detail, hoping that a year of driving Royce around would achieve what police work did not. After catching the mayor with an intern under his desk and subsequently keeping his mouth shut Herc found himself bumped up the ladder and back at Major Crimes. His promotion didn't last long, though; a lost surveillance camera and some manufactured informants cost him his stripes, then his job.

text: Home Culture Whitewashing Civil War History The Root Review: Adam Goodheart's 1861: The Civil War Awakening fails to embrace the views of the African Americans at the heart of the conflict. By: Hollis Robbins Posted: June 12 2011 12:28 AM 0 Adam Goodheart's new book, 1861: The Civil War Awakening, has been widely reviewed as a kind of quirky history, a focused look at "the more obscure corners of antebellum America," as the New York Times puts it. 1861 tells the story of a handful of little-known figures during the 10 months from October 1860 to the summer of 1861. These figures -- including Maj. Robert Anderson, commanding officer at Fort Sumter; Elmer Ellsworth, one of the first casualties of the Civil War; and Jessie Benton Frémont, a wealthy California society hostess and anti-secessionist -- played crucial roles in the seemingly inevitable conflict, according to Goodheart's history. But although Goodheart includes African Americans in his narrative and offers, at the back of his book, a chapter about three slaves who escaped to a Union fort, 1861 is very much a history for white people. It's about the anguish and inner conflict that many white Americans felt as the United States lurched toward civil war. It's the old "brother versus brother" story in which none of the brothers are black. Goodheart signals his own (white) perspective early. In an otherwise thoughtful prologue about the soldiers at Fort Sumter and about the heroism of young men who signed up to fight, Goodheart adds, "Just as impressive ... was the heroism of black men and women ... who were ready not just to be free but also to become Americans." But weren't these blacks already Americans? Here and throughout the book, Goodheart cannot seem to imagine what 1861 felt like for anyone not recognized by law as an American citizen. He seems unable to imagine that slaves or free blacks could, and did, envision an America that included them. David Walker wrote in his Appeal to Coloured Citizens (1829): "America is more our country, than it is the whites' -- we have enriched it with our blood and tears." Frederick Douglass had, for more than a decade, presented himself as an American citizen. In his speeches from 1845 onward, Douglass addressed his audiences, black and white, free and slave, as "fellow citizens." Without doubt, by 1861 there existed a long tradition of this recognition. Consider the story that Goodheart tells about Lucy Bagby, a 24-year-old fugitive slave living as a servant in Cleveland, who was arrested and reclaimed under the Fugitive Slave Law. Goodheart suggests that the trial and the return of Bagby to slavery "seemed an allegory: not only of the doomed hopes of those last prewar months but of white Northerners' ambivalent loyalties." I doubt that slavery was allegorical to Bagby. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. In the same chapter, Goodheart gives an account of fiery white abolitionist orator Abby Kelley, who "nearly lost her audience when she declared that black men and women were no different from whites under the skin." In the course of the narrative, we learn about Kelley's marriage and future, but we must turn to the back of the book, to a postscript, to find out what happened to Bagby (who returned north in 1863, married a Union soldier and lived happily until 1906). It's a small but telling detail. Following a well-researched and lively chapter about the siege of Fort Sumter, Goodheart tells the tale of Elmer Ellsworth, a soldier, law clerk and close friend of Lincoln's, who led a group of Union soldiers made up mostly of New York firemen in a regiment called the Zouaves, modeled after a French elite fighting force that was itself modeled after some fierce baggy-pants- and fez-wearing Algerian tribesmen. "A short man even by the standards of his time, Ellsworth seems almost dwarfed by his own elaborate uniforms, blooming profusions of plumed hats, sashes, epaulettes, and medals. Add his hippie-length hair and droopy mustache, and he might almost be a member of a 1970s rock band." Goodheart does not note the irony of Union soldiers wearing African garb. Perhaps to meet modern demands for diversity, Goodheart offers one chapter on a woman and another on a trio of fugitive slaves. He relates the story of Jessie Benton Frémont, the daughter of Missouri Sen. Thomas Hart Benton and the wife of the explorer and senator Col. John C. Frémont.

Firefighters revive dog in house blaze
Cell phone captures dramatic rescue
ARLINGTON, Texas (CNN/WFAA) - Cell phone video shows firefighters in Texas carrying out a dramatic rescue, battling to save the life of a blaze victim: a beloved family pet.
As three firefighters sprayed down one side of a wall, around the corner came Leah -- limp, but in hands with the power to heal. Rescuers rushed out behind her.
And if there was not a happy ending, the desperate attempt to save this dog's life would be too difficult to watch.
"They went through five bottles of oxygen on her, probably three- to four breathing treatments, the same treatment we administer to humans," said Arlington Fire Department spokesman Lt. Kevin Seeton.
They pet her. She panted. They coaxed her to come back.
"I poked her in the eye, and she blinked," said Seeton.
After about an hour of hard work and oxygen administered by specially-designed masks, Leah raised her head, and firefighters smiled.
"It's a great feeling to see these big, burly firefighters all gathered around working on a small dog, trying to get it back to life," said Seeton.
Arlington put pet oxygen masks on each battalion chief's car and on every ladder truck -- which means they are at every fire, including the one that broke out at Leah's home when her owner was out of town.
"There's a good chance that a human wouldn't have made it out of this fire," said Seeton.
The story's ending isn't all happy: The family cat did not survive. That broke the firefighters' hearts, but Leah eased that hurt.
Leah was taken to a vet for a checkup. Fire officials said she's expected to be just fine.

My name is Lesley. I am a mother of 4 DC. 10yr old DD, 6yr old DS, 3yr old DD, 5 month old DD.
I Am prayerfully considering TOG.
Am discouraged because I have tried so many different things for our homeschooling that I thought would be 'the thing', but we have yet to have found the backbone for our studies.
TOG seems to have the major components to what I have been searching for... I am waiting to see the provision of the Lord as a confirmation of whether or not we will be 'toggers'.
Any comments are welcome.

So you've managed to get yourself a couple of regular bar gigs, or maybe even a set in a local club. You're finally getting a little bit of cash back to support your DJing hobby. (Still stuck in your bedroom, dreaming of all of this? Find out how How To Digital DJ Fast can make this happen for you!).
Chances are though, that you're not making a huge amount of money from your DJing – and that's both fine, and completely normal. But there are ways you can add to whatever you're being paid to DJ.
