Frankie Ballard, 'Helluva Life' – Lyrics Uncovered
Frankie Ballard's 'Helluva Life' lyrics are twofold. The song, which will live on his upcoming album 'Sunshine & Whiskey,' strikes a balance between accepting a disappointment, all the while appreciating what you have.
It's a parallel Ballard has drawn between the early stages of his career and now. His first album didn't take off at radio, which was a reality that he had to face and deal with — but he was also able to come away with some perspective, as well.
In essence, the 'Helluva Life' lyrics are about the fact that you can't truly enjoy the sun without the rain.
"It's such a cool message — that you've got to appreciate what you have in your life," Ballard says. "And it even goes so far as to say you should appreciate the bad times because they make the good times better."
"It was incredibly parallel with what was going on in my life," the singer adds of the 'Helluva Life' lyrics. "It's such an appropriate thing for me to be releasing as my first single off the new project. I thought my first single was gonna come out and, ka-pow, be off to the races, but that didn't happen. But at the end of the day, I feel very blessed to be in the game and to have a new single."
Frankie Ballard's 'Sunshine & Whiskey' is out Feb. 11.

THE more children you have, the more likely you are to own a plasma TV. The more money you have, the more likely you are to have an energy-saving LCD TV and front-loader washing machine - and to use public transport.
The further you are from Melbourne, the more likely you are to have a rainwater tank and insulation in your walls as well as your roof. The closer you are, the more likely you are to use public transport - especially if you're young.
But an Australian Bureau of Statistics survey of Victorian households' energy and water use skewers the myth that solar panels are mostly going up on the roofs of the well-off. The survey found income had little effect on solar take-up.
Rather, whether you use solar panels depends on where you live, whether you own or rent and, above all, how new your home is. The survey found 30 per cent of homes built since 2009 have solar hot water systems, and 8 per cent have solar-generated electricity.
People living in the country are twice as likely to have solar panels on their roofs as people in Melbourne - and half of Melbourne's panels are soaking up the sun in outer western suburbs, the outer east, and the Mornington Peninsula. And 94 per cent of all Victoria's solar panels sit on owner-occupied homes, which form 71 per cent of our housing stock.
The survey found that one in three Victorian homes now has a rainwater tank, their numbers up 18 per cent in two years. Again, income was irrelevant: rather, almost half the homes outside Melbourne have a tank, compared with just over one in four in the suburbs. Two-thirds of people with a rainwater tank and a swimming pool used the tank to fill the pool.
Almost three-quarters of Victorian homes now have airconditioning, which is why we now have summer spikes in energy use that have required network upgrades, pushing up our electricity bills. One in four have two fridges, just over half own a clothes dryer, 55 per cent have at least two TVs, and 58 per cent have a dishwasher.
But some don't get much use. One in seven households with a clothes dryer say they never use it; one in eight households with a dishwasher say the same.
Melbourne's public transport system is also under-used. The survey found 61 per cent of Melbourne residents had not been on a train, tram or bus in the past month. Even within zone 1, where most homes are within walking distance of a station, tram or bus stop, only 57 per cent had used it at all.
Intriguingly, 51 per cent of Melburnians who use public transport daily come from the wealthier 40 per cent of households. It's a finding that could make a government facing tough budget choices look hard at the $3 billion a year it spends on the city's public transport.

ONE man was cut out of a hedge and airlifted to hospital after his motorcycle crashed this afternoon (March 8).
The incident happened at Wheddon Cross in Cutcombe at around 3.30pm with police officers calling out the fire brigade so they could reach the casualty.
A Devon and Somerset Fire Service spokesman said: "An appliance from Minehead was mobilised and on arrival requested the attendance of the rescue tender from Taunton for their access platform to help to gain access to the casualty.
"Crews went to work cutting away the hedgerow to gain access to the casualty. An ambulance and air ambulance were also in attendance and fire crews worked alongside paramedics to rescue the casualty from the hedgerow."
The seriousness of the man's condition is not known at this stage.

Hello there!
This is a very nice story, however Chikage is a very direct person so it would be better to use this character to give an opinion on the matter BLUNTLY like how he would normally do.
Another thing that really bothers me is that Ono should be acting really dramatic, well upset, to this matter as a gay person ex-crush would ultimately still be a desire to hang out with.

8 of your favourite sausages
5 'happy eggs'
Plain flour
4 slices of bread to make breadcrumbs
Place the bread in an oven at 150°C for 20 minutes until completely dried. When cool, place in a plastic bag and crush until you have breadcrumbs.
Par-boil the eggs by putting them in gently boiling water for four minutes (if the eggs are at room temperature), or six minutes (if they are in the fridge). Then, place the eggs in cold water, gently tapping them to crack the shell for a few minutes. The shell will now peel off easily.
Slice off the sausage skins, remove the meat, divide into four and gently squeeze the sausage meat evenly around each egg.
Take three bowls; Crack the remaining egg into the first bowl and whisk with a fork. Put the flour in the second and the breadcrumbs in the third.
Dip the scotch eggs in the whisked egg and roll them in the flour, then the breadcrumbs.
Place on a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 160°C for 30 minutes.

The Rob's Top 5 Stern Quotes From Last Night's 'America's Got Talent'
Last night was easily Stern at his most quotable!
Seriously, I wrote down nearly 20 laugh-out-loud quotes from Howard Stern in last night's one-hour America's Got Talent from Tampa!
Kicking things off was a group off socially awkward worm puppeteers:
"Let's be honest, you can't get girls when you're a puppeteer, is that true? Anybody married… No? Anybody been on a date in the last six months?"
Another act last night was a group of rapping pirates… That's right rapping pirates! Howard and the crowd were less than impressed:
"One of the challenges I have as a judge is coming up with ways to say the same thing over again and over again. For example, this is really STUPID. But I've used that already. I've used the word MORONIC. I've used IDIOTIC up already. I haven't used PATHETIC… This was pathetic!"
When criticizing Twiggy the jet-skiing squirrel:
"The squirrel went to the bathroom on Nick! That's a no-no around here. I went to the bathroom on Nick and they almost fired me!"
After a very daring BMX stuntshow:
"That was a huge disappointment… No one died!"
And lastly, after watching the ironically-named Big Barry sing and hitting his X:
"I hit my X because it was either that or jump out a window."
There was only one episode of AGT this week, but I'll be back with some more quotes from the King of All Media on Tuesday!

Rumored lovers Diaz and Rodriguez, who occasionally play coy about their romance rumors, were finally pictured together for the first time at a hotel gym in Tampa, Florida on September 15.
Cameron Diaz might always refuse to address the nature of her relationship with baseball player Alex Rodriguez. However, the two didn't seem mind having camera captured their moment when they were together at a hotel gym in Tampa, Florida recently.
In pictures, obtained by Daily Mail which were taken on September 15, Diaz was seen accompanying Rodriguez as he worked on his cardio on an exercise bike. According to the site, Diaz and Rodriguez had been staying at the hotel as the sport star and his team were set to play the Tampa Bay Rays on the next day.
Although the gym outing might fuel speculations that Diaz and Rodriguez are dating, the "Knight & Day" actress seemed to have a competitor in winning Rodriguez's heart. Days after Rodriguez was photographed with Diaz, Sofia Vergara was spotted leaving Rodriguez's apartment building.
Vergara was accompanied by a brunette who was earlier at a gym with Yankee star Rodriguez. Still, the site mentioned the "Modern Family" star is currently in relationship with businessman Nick Loeb.
Despite refusing to confirm or deny their relationship, Diaz has recently hinted at romance with Rodriguez. She told Harper's Bazaar magazine, "I grew up with the (Los Angeles) Dodgers, but now I'm a Yankee's fan." Diaz's past lovers include Matt Dillon, Jared Leto and Justin Timberlake.

SUN PRESS Newspapers
The Champlin City Council met Monday, Feb. 24 to review the improvements coming to Andrew's Park.
The council also discussed the bylaws that apply to the Champlin farmer's market, and advised city residents to pay special attention to their water pipes during the unusually cold weather.
Andrew's Park is undergoing improvements. The project is now in Phase II and the council reviewed the progress. The Parks and Public Works department is pleased to announce that, to date, the project is both on time and under budget. A change order was brought before the council for review which included the cost of various items that were being installed. This meant everything from the types of hardware that would be used throughout the project to aesthetic structures like colored concrete.
Mayor ArMand Nelson asked Parks and Facilities Manager Charles Lehn, "For the concrete colors, is that something we didn't decide to do to begin with and since we're under budget we decided to do that? And if so, what enhancement does that give us versus using plain concrete."
Lehn responded, "The architect recommends it to enhance the border of the splash pad."
After further discussion, Mayor Nelson said, "I think it would be wise for us to not spend the money on that and perhaps save it for other projects."
Councilor Ryan Karasek added, "On paper, just looking at the numbers doesn't provide a good visual," he said. "On paper I see that 'concrete colors' costs $2,000 but I can't see how that visually impacts the project. I guess I'd like to table this and see it before I make a motion to pass it or not."
Councilor Kara Terry seconded that said, "I agree, I hesitate to pull anything because Park and Rec has been so involved from the very beginning, and we have not been as involved so they would have a better idea of what would look better," she said. "They're really the experts so I would want to get their input before we move further."
Councilor Eric Johnson adds, "You can't go back and color concrete very easily. We're spending a lot of money to create a really nice project. I don't want to skimp in a certain area if its going to detract from the overall vision and look of what we're trying to achieve. And if it's $2000 keeps that up to our vision, I don't have a problem with it. Even with the change order, we're still under budget."
No action was taken at this time. The item was pulled to be reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Department. This will not jeopardize the project from a timing standpoint.
The Champlin Farmer's Market was established in 2005. The goal of the market is to provide residents and those in surrounding communities with fresh, homegrown produce, flowers and other items such as breads and baked goods. The market operates weekly on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from mid-July through late September each year. This item was pulled by councilman Bruce Miller for further discussion.
Councilor Bruce Miller's biggest concern is, "If this is run for the benefit of our citizens, why do we run it at the time we run it?" he asked. "Most people are at work. If we do it for the benefit of our citizens, why don't we run it when most people can go to it?"
Parks Manager Charles Lehn responded, "Other farmers markets run parallel to ours," he said. "It's convenient for the vendors. They can participate in other communities. It's also a benefit for our citizens because they can participate in other local markets as well."
City Administrator Bret Heitkamp said, "When we established other farmers markets were previously operating," he said. "The only time we could get some of these vendors there. During other times, they had previous commitments. It serves as an opportunity to bring others into the community as well."
A motion was made to table this item for further discussion.
Due to the abnormally deep frost conditions, the city has received several reports of water services freezing throughout the community. The city suggests that if resident's water temperatures fall below 40 degrees after the tap has been running for two minutes, it is best to run the water continuously. The water flow should be about the width of a pencil.
"We've seen a number of residents' water lines freeze," said Mayor Nelson. "Staff has been working very hard to assist residents with this issue."
This information is also on the City of Champlin's website.

Ways to be safe while swimming this summer
The Centers for Disease Control reports that about 10 people die from drowning in non-boating related accidents every year.
Summer is almost here, when most people like to do their swimming. News Channel 3 went to Healthsport in Arcata to find out some tips for staying safe in the water this summer.
"It's beautiful weather around here, with the rivers and oceans. So it's a great opportunity to get out and swim. It's something I've done my whole life so I definitely enjoy it," said Patrick Fromherz, an Arcata resident.
"The number one piece of advice for you is learn how to swim. So practice those skills, be in the water on a regular basis. Have your children swimming regularly, even all winter long at indoor pools, so that when it comes time to go play at a river or in a lake, they're comfortable in the water and know what to expect," said Samm Sinn, the Lifeguard Manager and the Youth Service Lead at the Eureka and Arcata Healthsport locations.
Sinn says swimming somewhere where a lifeguard is on duty is ideal. However, he says to remember this information if you are swimming in a river.
"The use of a safety device, such as a life jacket, is key. Often times, rivers are very strong and currents can be powerful," said Sinn.
He says if you feel yourself starting to panic…
"The best option is to float on your back and relax, and when you feel like you've regained confidence in your energy, try to swim again," Sinn said.
He says for parents witnessing their child in distress…
"It's possible for your child to pull you under as well. So being prepared with some sort of a flotation device, a rescue tube, you can use a cooler that maybe you were keeping your food refrigerated in while you're at the river. Grab that cooler and use that as a flotation device to help take action," said Sinn.
Sinn also says to make sure water is at least 10 feet deep before diving head first.
"Feet first is definitely the safest option every time, especially at a river or at a lake in an outdoor setting. A pool, you can be sure there's not any rocks or other hazards under the water, but if you are at a pool, you do need to look out for other people," Sinn said.
He also says knowing first aid and basic CPR are important preparations before going swimming. And if you're going to the pool, remember to walk, and never run.

Microsoft Surface RT teardown reveals $271 worth of components
About half of that, or $137, to be more specific, goes straight to Samsung as it supplies quite a few of the tablet's components. The Korean company is providing the memory chips, the battery, as well as the display for the Microsoft Surface RT. The device's processor, however – a quad-core Tegra 3 chip, is made by NVIDIA.
But that is not all: the guys also took a Microsoft Touch Cover apart only to find out that it is worth about $16. The accessory, which acts as a protective cover and a hardware keyboard of sorts, is actually priced at $120 online, or can be had for $100 if bought together with a 32GB Surface tablet. And that quite a profit margin for something that a fair amount of consumers are likely to purchase, be it intentionally or impulsively.
The Microsoft Surface tablet with Windows RT started shipping on October 26 and we already gave it a thorough review. Currently, the only models available online are the 32GB with bundled Touch Cover for $599 and the 64GB one for $699, which also comes with a Touch Cover included. The base $499 model is out of stock.

Let's start with the good news: As of Thursday morning, it appears as if the parties involved in the fighting along the Israel-Gaza border, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, have calmed down. Israeli strikes Wednesday focused solely on targeting unmanned rocket launch sites. In other words, there were no Palestinian casualties in any of the 29 strikes.
Islamic Jihad stopped firing at Israel in the early evening hours of Wednesday. And while two lone rockets were fired overnight, as well as a few more Thursday morning, compared to Wednesday's barrage it seems that the militant organization is signaling that is does not desire any further escalation.
But here is the not-so-good news. Although Hamas has exhibited impressive control of the situation in the Gaza Strip in recent years, the last sequence of events indicates that its power is no longer what it once was.
Moreover, and for the umpteenth time, Israelis received further evidence of the damaging implications internal Palestinian politics can have on Israel.
Islamic Jihad's actions, as well as statements made by its spokesman afterwards, lead to the obvious conclusion that the organization is challenging Hamas and trying to market itself as the new leader of the Gaza Strip. It started a day beforehand, when Islamic Jihad sent its operatives to confront IDF forces near Khan Younis. During the exchange of fire, where three Palestinians were killed, Hamas stood on the sidelines and did not intervene. That same day, two more Palestinians were killed in the West Bank, and Hamas and the Palestinian Authority similarly refrained from responding — prompting Islamic Jihad's rocket salvo on Wednesday.
Arguably the culmination of its challenge to the status quo arrived overnight, when Islamic Jihad published a statement warning the residents of Gaza that it would act against anyone suspected of collaborating with Israel. So now, Islamic Jihad, not Hamas, is punishing alleged collaborators with the Jewish state.
Islamic Jihad's Secretary General Ramadan Shalah gave a telling interview Wednesday on Iranian TV, saying that the response of the organization would expand and become much harsher if Israel continued its actions against the Palestinians.
The message is familiar and predictable. However, Shalah's decision to go on air in Iran suggests that Islamic Jihad is operating against Hamas's interests under the guidance and encouragement of the Islamic Republic. Iran's Revolutionary Guards are trying to strengthen Islamic Jihad (see: Kloc-C arms shipment) and build up its military capabilities in order to weaken Hamas, as a form of punishment to the Gaza-ruling party for participating in the fight against the Assad regime in Syria.
It now seems reasonable to assume that Iran will continue to try to undermine the relative calm in the region, either through Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip to the south, or Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Golan Heights to the north.


text: Show Hide image Culture 15 August 2012 Nina Caplan: Much more than a pretty pink face Just because a wine looks alluring doesn't mean it won't taste good. Sign up for our weekly email * Rosé wines come in all hues, from light embarrassment to deep carmine, but their colouring lacks logic: the pale, glowing rosés of Provence, with their tints of apricot and white peach, should be stop-sign red, because these delicate wines are so dangerous, I occasionally wonder if we should drink them at all. It's not that they're not delicious. But that is the problem. You lift your glass for a second sip only to find that the whole bottle has fallen down your throat – and these wines aren't low in alcohol. And you're still thirsty. Plenty of effort goes into making them so sweetly sippable and some of it is human, though the winemakers don't always realise how much help they get. I remember a lovely lunch with an aristocratic vineyard owner and his family on a sun-dappled hillside in Bandol, a tiny patch of Provençal coast east of Marseilles where the world's most prestigious (and often expensive) rosés are made. When I admired his coriander plants, Monsieur le Comte assured me that it was the superb seeds he used, and chivalrously offered to send me some. I looked down at his hills coated in Mourvèdre and Cinsault grapes, rolling towards the azure Mediterranean, and knew it wasn't the seeds, any more than it would be the grapes that would foil me if I tried to make a rosé like his Château de Pibarnon in England. I ate and drank – and drank – and argued politely, but he didn't believe me and he sent me coriander seeds ("Tell him you only accept diamonds," suggested a friend). Predictably enough, they flopped at the first exhalation of English autumn. In Provence, rosé is made from red grapes – mainly Grenache and Syrah as well as those Mourvèdre and Cinsault –whose skins are left in with the juice only long enough to leave a trace of colour, then wrenched away. Perhaps that accounts for the note of plaintiveness I taste, although that may be just the reaction of an Englishwoman. We are, after all, a race so deprived of Vitamin D that we can get drunk on sunshine. Anywhere with a red grape or two can make rosé, but I will always prefer Provence. Yet let us detour across the Rhône to Languedoc-Roussillon, in homage to the great American oenophile A J Liebling, who loved the rosé wines of Tavel. Liebling, who died in 1963, largely (very largely) of overindulgence, was exceptionally rude about the international fad for rosé that began during his lifetime, and blamed his countrymen, or, more specifically, his countrywomen ("the American housewife is susceptible to eye and colour"). But Tavel had his expansive and overstrained heart. Tangy warmth Unfortunately, Liebling's words have lasted better than their subject. These days, Tavel rosé is fine but the reds of next-door Lirac are much better, and for superlative rosé you must go east, and drink pale wines tangy with local herbs and warm as summer's breath. Recently, I sat at a vine-side table outside the hotel of la Bastide de Marie, a beautiful former farmhouse outside Avignon, and drank last year's harvest while staring out at this one. Domaine de Marie isn't the best rosé I've tasted but in that setting it doesn't need to be: it is gently, endlessly drinkable, and as I sat there, contemplating its pleasing evanescence, my sympathies tottered from my idol towards those maligned housewives. I, too, am susceptible to eye and colour, if not to Tavel. I am inclined to trust my taste buds above all else and of this at least I know Liebling would have approved. Just because a wine is pretty doesn't mean it isn't good. "Life is too short for the formulation of dogma," he once wrote, and to that, I will raise my glass.

What WSJ Canada Is Reading Friday
Will Keystone XL pass the climate-change smell tests? The U.S. State Department is expected to release a hotly anticipated environmental review on TransCanada Corp.'s pipeline project Friday. Canada's ambassador to the U.S. Canada's ambassador to the U.S. thinks the report will bolster the case for the pipeline.
Customers love a mess. So says Hudson's Bay Co. Chief Executive Richard Baker, who plans to expand his Saks' banner's outlet stores while also stocking Saks with more luxury goods.
Spotlight falls again on Canada's electronic spy agency. A document from U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden suggests that CSEC, the country's electronic spy agency used airport WiFi to track travelers in Canada. Meanwhile, CSEC's collaboration with other domestic agencies is raising privacy alarm bells.

Outside of America, Jean Van Hamme and William Vance's "XIII" is one of the best known comic book series in the world. And while "XIII" isn't likely to overshadow superheroes like Spider-Man in the U.S. anytime soon, the series may finally get another chance to catch on in this country.
According to Deadline, ReelzChannel has acquired "XIII: The Series," a French-Canadian TV series that adapted the comic book starring Stuart Townsend ("The Nightstalker") and Aisha Tyler ("Archer"). "XIII: The Series" will make its U.S. debut in June.
"XIII: The Series" debuted in 2011 and featured Townsend in the title role as a former intelligence operative who is on the run from a clandestine organization while attempting to recover his lost memories and discover his true identity. Tyler portrayed Special Agent Lauren Jones. XIII's closest ally with Virginie Ledoyen (pictured above with Townsend and Tyler) as Irina Svetlanova, a Russian mercenary whose attempts to win XIII's trust may hide her true allegiance.
The events of the TV series spin out of the 2008 television miniseries, "XIII: The Conspiracy;" which aired domestically on NBC and featured Stephen Dorff as XIII and Val Kilmer as his antagonist, Mongoose.
A second season of "XIII: The Series" is currently being filmed in Toronto, but it isn't clear if Tyler will be returning to the show since she is now one of the co-hosts of "The Talk."
What are your thoughts on "XIII: The Series"? Let us know in the comment section below!

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on May 6, 2013.
QuestionHi, we own two homes: one that we're living in and the other that we used to live in, which we rent out currently. We're thinking if it's more money saving to sell it within three years after we moved out of the old house, than keeping it for a longer period to help our kids go to college. This old house's rental basis (the market value as of the day we moved out) is about $220k. Our cost basis (?) which includes both the purchase price and improvements is $340k. Currently it's about $300k.
The answer to your question will become more apparent as you work through an after-tax cash flow analysis. In other words, compare the annual cash flow from selling the property and investing the after- tax proceeds to the annual cash flow from maintaining the old home as a rental property.
You are apparently aware that the basis for depreciation purposes was reduced to the lower fair market value of $220,000 at the time the home was converted to rental. On the sale, the rules are a bit tricky depending on whether you have a gain or a loss. Since your net sales price falls between your basis for a tax loss ($220,000 less accumulated depreciation) and your basis for a tax gain ($340,000 less accumulated depreciation), there is neither a taxable gain nor a taxable loss on the sale.
Please contact a CPA/PFS in your region (visit www.findacpapfs.com) to help you with the above Federal reporting along with reviewing the State tax impact, which may not follow the Federal tax rules. I hope that this helps.

Interesting read. I've read that some African American leaders take offense at LGBT issues being called "civil rights", and that the struggle for civil rights and the struggle for LGBT equality are not the same thing. I actually agree, they are not the same thing, although in both cases there has been immense suffering, inequality, and grief. What I want most is to see, in the title of an old college speech com book, "Bridges, not Walls".
Where I do see blatant hypocrisy is in the African American pulpit (And the white pulpit, whatever that is, and the latin pulpit, and the chinese pulpit....). To teach the bible, supposedly (pick and choose, pick and choose), then say the bible supported Black people in their struggle for emancipation, then in their struggle against the evil system of Jim Crow. There may have been comfort in the bible, but to present the bible, as supporting emancipation and equality, is just dishonest. It's a lying re-write of history. The bible supported slavery, clearly, and repeatedly. It supports the concept of "otherness" being worthy of persecution. It supports mistreatment of women. The bible clearly has an attitude about "mixing" different types. Note blog on the role of religion in "The Lynching Tree". Then to take a smaller number of verses, and deny LGBT congregants and non church goers of their rights, is hateful.
NOM has tried to play LGBT people, vs. minorities - both African American and Hispanic - against each other in hopes of spreading hate. They cite support by Black clergy and "Bishops" for measure 8 in California, and North Carolina's new Amendment 1. Any time we generalize about race, it's a fine line between trying to discuss a community, vs. stereotyping and racism. But- what we can do is call the ministers on their false reporting of the bible, and false reporting of the bible's role in history, and false use of the bible currently.
Perhaps saddest of all, members of those congregations, who happen to be LGBT, feel ostracized and persecuted within the community where they crave support. To internalize those lies is to internalize self hate and causes isolation and self-harmful behavior. Those members would also benefit from calling the clergy on their lies, and teaching their congregations that the bible doesn't just hate the people that they want it to hate.

Am I allowed to change my mind about racism? Perhaps I can start bragging about my white purity and the trouble of uppity negroes.
Careful about that! DNA testing may show your white purity is not so pure :-)
I thought this was good, from my perspective as a white atheist watching an African American minister. Of course, I always like watching someone who I agree with. Sort of like those people in the pews like hearing views from the pulpit, that they agree with.
Conservatives take the de facto stance that everything is an attack on them. Gay marriage is an attack on them. Education reform is an attack on them. Tax reform is an attack on them. Environmentalism is an attack on them.
And as much as I disagree with this guys invocation of the bible, he does make good points--especially about black hypocrisy.
But I hate his implication that we are "crying out for acceptance from God."
Some interesting, valid points, but I don't think we can blame only black churches and their clergy for displaying any higher degree of hypocrisy than any of the other races or denominations who have also cherry-picked sections of the bible to suit their personal beliefs on any given issue. For me personally, I'm beginning to think that my biggest problem with religious people is not that they choose to live and base their lives and behavior according to what's written in the bible but rather the opposite. They choose to live their lives as they wish, according to and influenced by the bigoted manner and environment in which they were raised, and then they cowardly use the bible solely as a shield to hide behind to validate and to justify their discriminatory and hateful behavior. For these people, you have no right what so ever to question them or call them a bigot as long as they have the bible on their side to justify their twisted views. When this happens, unfortunately the discussion is quickly over and nobody is, quite literally, enlightened or made any wiser.
Absolutely agree, we can't blame the black churches and clergy more than white. I guess my point is we also cant let them off the hook, either. And you are right about using the bible as a shield. WHenever possible, I think one of the ways to poke holes in that shield is to know history and know the bible better than the person using it. No surprise, some atheists seem to know the bible as well or better than some christians.
1984's "doublethink" is alive and well and living in ANYONE who wants to believe the relevance of the bible can be relative or cherry-picked.

The 25 Best Cigars of 2012
Deciding which cigar is the definitive best of the year isn't always an easy task, especially in lieu of all the great cigars in the market. We start by looking back at all the cigars tested throughout the year in both Cigar Aficionado and Cigar Insider—more than 700. Then we focus on the top-scoring smokes, and from there begin the blind-tasting process all over again. Our tasting coordinator heads out to the retail shops, purchases the cigars, removes the bands and orchestrates an entirely new tasting. After multiple rounds, we arrive at a list of 25.
To name Cigar of the Year, however, we select the top three scores of this new test and do one final round of tasting. But it's important to remember that Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 Cigars of the Year distinction is not a simple year-end awards ceremony. It's a tournament of performance and elimination and, is completely process driven. The best cigars of the year were able to consistently reproduce high scores throughout each round. Quality and consistency were crucial. Those that could not perform consistently were out. What's left are the cigars you see here. Not everyone's perennial favorites appear on the list, but each cigar in this year's Top 25 proved to be satisfying and excellent.

General News of Saturday, 24 November 2012
Source: Mohammed Saani Ibrahim-The Accra Times
With less than a Month to the December 7th General Elections, a lot activities are being organized geared towards ensuring a successful, credible, peaceful and transparent polls.
Against this background, the Media Foundation for West Africa MFWA organized a one day forum held under the Theme: Radio, Hate Speech and Election Related Violence in Africa:
The Forum brought together participants from the Government, Political Parties, Academia, Civil Society Organization, the Clergy and the Media to brainstorm on the best ways to ensure decent campaign speeches and violence free elections.
The Forum also has the objectives to highlight the potentially negative ramification of intemperate expressions and irresponsible media conduct in Africa.
In his address Most Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante, called on politicians to ensure the success of the forthcoming General Elections. Democracy calls for competition of ideas and issues rather than attacking each other.
Ghana's reputation as the beacon of hope of Africa's democracy can only be ensured through decent campaign speeches, exchange of positive ideas rather than politics of insults and acrimony.
He advised Ghanaian journalists to aspire to gain a kind of good recognition associated with good journalistic practices. Ghanaian political reporters should be accurate and fair in their reportage.
On his part Mr. George Lawson of the NDC said his party is committed to ensuring a peaceful, transparent polls in December. The ruling party would want the media to cover all aspects of the elections.
Mr. Kwame Gentua of the Convention People's Party CPP noted that the responsibility to ensure decent speeches prior to the polls lies heavily on the political parties. He recommends for Parties to sanction any member who goes on radio to make any speech that has the tendency of sparkling violence in the country.
Mr. Mike Ocquaye Junior reiterated the New Patriotic Parties stand to ensure that the upcoming election goes on peacefully without any setback. The NPP decided to participate in the Forum because they believed in peace.
The NPP under Nana Addo's leadership is more committed to the peace of this country before, during and after the December 7th General Elections. He charged stakeholders of the polls to be more vigilant to ensure fairness for all contestants.
Prof Kwami Karikari, the MFWA Boss on his part thanked participants for taking part in the Forum. Peace is need in Ghana not only before the elections but during and after. He thanked Star Ghana and Ibis Ghana Foundations respectively for their tremendous support to his outfit.

Exactly 100 years after his death, the man called "Koresh" still leaves his mark
With acres of scrub pine stretched across sandy soil and patches of roughbarked cabbage palms leading to the murky water, the hot, flat plains of southern Lee County speak more of purgatory than paradise. But in the late 1800s, a charismatic religious leader brought his band of followers to these backwaters of south Florida, setting up camp along the river and christening the spot New Jerusalem. In a move emulated by cult leaders into the 20th century, the group's leader, Cyrus Teed, adopted the Biblical translation of his name. He called himself Koresh.
As the southernmost state on the edges of the frontier, blanketed by swampland and frequented by pirates, Florida has long struggled with its unsavory image in the American psyche.
Even today, Sunshine State residents breathe easier when another of the wacko-triumvirate — Florida, California and Texas — commits a faux pas on the national scale. During the 2003 gubernatorial race in California, Floridians gave a statewide sigh of relief as Arnold Schwarzenegger waged a campaign against adult movie stars, sumo wrestlers, and Larry Flynt, hoping the debacle on the west coast would relieve the taint of humiliation still lingering from Florida's missteps in the 2000 presidential campaign.
But 2008 marks the 100-year anniversary of the death of our own Koresh, and until his body washed away in the hurricane of 1921, believers still waited for the Florida-based messiah to rise from his tomb on Fort Myers Beach.
Like cult leaders from the current era, Cyrus Teed exuded a charisma that drew followers and raised funds. At one Midwest meeting, he brought in more than $60,000 in donations (about $1.2 million in today's dollars). When the early Koreshans were based in Chicago, Teed came to be called the "Chicago Christ," originally because he referred to himself as a shepherd tending his flock, but later because he claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. His philosophies were Christian-based, though most deviated from the Biblical faith. The bulk of Teed's creed originated in an "illumination" he experienced in 1869 at the age of 30. Working in his laboratory late at night, Teed slipped into a trance. A beautiful woman appeared before him haloed in purple and gold. Teed believed her to be an angel, and she spoke of universal truths that became the foundation for Teed's Koreshan beliefs. These included reincarnation, socialism and alchemy. She also spoke of the universe being a hollow sphere, with earth on the inside.
Against the backdrop of modern cults, it's hard not to take a cynical look at Teed's collection of female followers. After the Waco disaster, reports spoke of David Koresh's harem of young women, and cult leader Warren Jeffs is serving prison time for his abuse of power, including sanctioning polygamy. In Beth-Ophrah, the mansion in Estero, Teed placed the Seven Sisters in separate bedrooms on the ground floor and his own living quarters at an easily accessible point on the second. An 1896 article in the New York Times accused Teed of surrounding himself with "the most beautiful and adventurous" women of the colony.
The community
Laws governing intercourse aside, the Koreshan community south of Fort Myers projected an image of assiduous wholesomeness.
"They were a very industrious, hardworking people," said Mike Heare, park services specialist at the Koreshan site (now a state park).
When the group first arrived in 1894, they faced the usual hardships of a pioneering lifestyle: toil, hunger, disease. Members, mostly from well-off families in the Midwest, worked to clear land and build shelter in the thick scrub of wild Florida. Their first houses were built around cypress logs and thatched with palm fronds. In 1895, a cold front swept through south Florida, dropping temperatures to 14 degrees and killing the community's citrus, mango, and avocado orchards. Literature promoting the Koreshan community promised "a pioneer life and sacrifice" as well as "some drudgery."
Despite hardships, the community thrived. New members joined. A sawmill, bakery and general store prospered. The sect acquired more land in the area.
In the tradition of shady Florida politics, though, the elections of 1906 ultimately wrought the group's decline. Cyrus Teed brought together Koreshans, Socialists, and Republicans to fight the entrenched power of the Lee Country Democratic party. In October, a brawl erupted between the Koreshan candidate for county commissioner, the town marshal, a Fort Myers politician, and Cyrus Teed. Teed received blows to the head and face that would wear on his health and lead to his death two years later.
As with recent cults, the power of the Koreshan faith resided not in the strength of its doctrine but in the charisma of its leader. Teed prepared for his death by promising imminent return. Before he passed away in 1908, he gave specific instructions for the construction of a tomb and left orders that his body be placed in a zinc coffin. At the time of Teed's death, his followers kept guard over the body, expecting the self-proclaimed messiah to rise again. Rigor mortis set in and, later, decomposition. The vigil lasted until the Lee County health inspector demanded the body be interred.
Sect members placed Teed's body in a mausoleum on Fort Myers Beach. They stationed believers at the site in preparation for his return and left a row boat in case Teed resurrected while no one stood on duty.
Without Teed at the helm, the Koreshan community slowly disappeared. The last believer, a Jewish convert from Nazi Germany, passed away in 1982. Before her death, Hedwig Michel — known as the last Koreshan — turned over Koreshan land and buildings to the Florida state parks system. Today, the site stands as a historical relic and a monument to Florida's notso distant cult past.

A DRIVER has had his parking fine thrown out after staying too long due to last month's floods.
Paul Clayden, was shopping in Aldi, Wickford, during south Essex's wettest weekend of the year.
As the A127 was closed following flooding, he had taken his three-year-old nephews to a nearby cafe to dry out from the rain and work out a different route home to Ward Avenue, Grays, before doing his weekly shop.
According to rules stated by Parking Eye, which runs the car park, Paul, 51, was only allowed to stay there for an hour, but he stayed nearly two. He said: "It's out of order. It was pouring with rain and I thought there wasn't going to be a parking attendant going out.
"Traffic was affected because there was torrential rain and we had to check how to get home. It was chaotic."
Parking Eye investigated his appeal and agreed to throw out the fine as he was a genuine shopper.
A spokesperson said: "Mr Claydon followed our audited appeals process, and as a genuine shopper we were happy to cancel his charge."


text: Natalie Harness "Four score and seven years ago our father's brought forth on this continent a new nation…" Do you know what speech these few words are from? What do they mean to you? On November 19, 1863 Abraham Lincoln delivered a very short speech entitled The Gettysburg Address. At that time, Lincoln had no idea how big of an impact that speech would have on us today. Lincoln stated in his address, "The world will little note nor long remember what we say here…" This speech was given to help remember the people who gave their lives at the Battle of Gettysburg. That speech may have been short, but it helped American's realize that all men are created equal. That is just one of the great things this speech did. Most people learn about this speech and Abraham Lincoln at a very young age, some even have to memorize it. Lincoln gave this speech second on that day in 1863, but it meant much more than Edward Everett's over two hour long speech. The audience that day was more impressed by Everett's speech, but Lincoln's had the greater impact. This speech has been taught to most students, young and old, in honor of one of the many accomplishments made by President Lincoln. People everywhere know this speech and how much it meant, and how much still means to America today. As president, Lincoln accomplished great things, but this is by far one of the best. People all over United States understand the important meaning behind The Gettysburg Address, and that is something Lincoln would have never expected. Great things come in small packages.

Graham was behind the counter now an then helping a bit and giving hints. Perhaps if they have another season, they will either change up the restaurant challenge somehow or not have it. At least it was lunch and not dinner, and the diners knew they were there as part of the Masterchef show.
Gavin and Sara, while adorable, really were too young to advance. Troy was being a snob, but he did exhibit a willingness to compromise when confronted with his behavior. After the cake fiasco, I wasn't all that surprised that Alexander choked. I think that may also happen if he lands in the final two.
I'm cheering for Dara and Jack in the final cook off.

Remodeling the Kitchen
February 5th, 2014 by Rob Hart
Well it's finally happened! The long anticipated kitchen remodel has begun! The first day started out with the removal of cabinets and flooring. As is to be expected with an 87 year old house, we had to replace a few of the floor joists before installing the sub floor. Day two began with patching and painting the walls in order for the tile to be laid. Once the paint had dried the tile went in. We can't forget about the lights. They were replaced too! Day three brought the installation of our beautiful, new cabinets. The arrival of day four involved finishing touches to prepare for the new appliances. Final measurements were taken for the granite counters. Slowly, but surely everything is beginning to fall into place.

My fiance has MS. She is 47. She has daily (later PM) small seizures (lasting seconds) after which she mentally acts and relates consistently like a five year old child. This wears off after sleep but usually takes all night. She wakes in normal state unaware of anything that happened. This has been happening for over ten months...she is afraid to tell the doctor and claims it is a "normal" MS symptom. Have you seen this before? Thank you, AndrewREAD MORE
MS and seizures
This question has not been answered by one of our experts yet.
I was diagnosed in November 09 with MS after at least 5 years of treatment for what was referred to as "partial onset seizure" disorder. The reason it is called this is because I would only experience the "aura" the period before a seizure...it can be staring off at something, a sudden unusual taste or smell or a slight loss of awareness but you are technically "conscious" during this. Just recently had to see the neuro because I had my first offical seizure, eeg confirmed...lost consciousness. Neuro said seizures and ms do not usually tie together. But now after seeing your question, it makes one wonder. Hope I had given you something more to think about.READ MOREYou should know Answers to your question are meant to provide general health information but should not replace medical advice you receive from a doctor.

Predictions of NOR flash shortage fail to materialize
Post a comment
The NOR flash memory market in 2003 remains in a state of oversupply, apparently belying earlier forecasts that anticipated shortages would begin sending prices higher this year.
Analysts and vendors last week agreed that despite strong customer demand, NOR flash is in ample supply in all densities, with prices continuing to fall. Some of the price pressure is being attributed to die shrinks, which are yielding an ever greater number of NOR flash chips and keeping supply ahead of surging demand.
Analysts also said that, far from raising prices, NOR flash makers are locked in an aggressive battle for market share, which is likely causing further price erosion.
Alan Niebel, an analyst at Web-Feet Research Inc., Monterey, Calif., said NOR prices experienced their biggest drop in the first quarter, while declines so far in the second quarter have not been as steep.
"Prices for 128Mbit NOR in the first quarter of 2003 dropped to $12 from the previous quarter, and have since slipped to $11.30," Niebel said. "64Mbit NOR dropped to $6.50 in the first quarter from the previous quarter, and has gone down to $6.20 so far this quarter."
Philippe Berge, director of central marketing for memories at STMicroelectronics N.V., Rousset, France, concurred that NOR price declines are moderating.
"One factor behind the price declines is the natural cost reduction due to shrinks," Berge said. "But there is also pressure linked to greater supply in the market than demand."
Jason Feinsmith, business director of standard memory products at Silicon Storage Technology Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif., said "strong market demand has increased NOR bit consumption, if not yet stabilizing prices."
That wasn't supposed to be the scenario for this year's NOR market. Last December, many analysts and chip suppliers predicted that booming demand for NOR flash in mobile phones and other wireless handsets would outstrip supply and push up prices.
Intel gets caught
Based on that expectation, Intel Corp. early this year announced that it would raise its NOR flash prices 20% to 40%. Not only was Intel unable to boost NOR prices, but the company in April conceded that the strategy caused it to lose market share.
Jim Handy, a Los Gatos, Calif.-based analyst for Semico Research Corp., said the failed pricing maneuver has cost Intel dearly so far this year. Though it remains the world's leading NOR flash vendor in terms of revenue, Intel's share of the market dropped from 37% in the fourth quarter of 2002 to 26% at the end of the first quarter this year, according to Handy.
Troy Winslow, technical advisor to the Intel flash memory group, declined to comment on Intel's NOR market position. Asked if Intel had abandoned its push to raise its NOR prices, Winslow said, "We have aggressive pricing to reinforce the value to our customers. We are monitoring supply and demand closely and pricing accordingly."
Winslow did, however, address the company's flash market share tacitly by pledging that "we will regain market share in the second half of 2003 based on our fourth-generation StrataFlash memory. It will be the most cost-effective NOR flash in the market," in part because of its use of 0.13-micron process technology.
Despite the large quarterly slip, Intel still leads the global NOR market by a wide margin, according to Handy, who ranked Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Sunnyvale, as the No. 2 supplier with 13% market share in the first quarter of 2003.
Ian Williams, vice president of customer operations for AMD's memory group, also declined to directly address the company's market share, but said that on a sequential basis, AMD increased NOR flash revenue 1%, to $218.3 million, in the first quarter of this year.
End in sight?
Though the latest predictions appear to be more tempered in their enthusiasm, ST's Berge believes booming demand for higher-density NOR could end the oversupply situation. "The capacity of companies with 0.13-micron processing is limited. At some point demand could grow to force an imbalance with supply," he said.
The price of lower-density NOR flash also was expected to increase in 2003 as chip manufacturers began to divert more production to higher-density parts. That development also failed to materialize as aggressively as predicted and vigorous competition in the segment has kept prices from rising, according to analysts.
Despite the declining prices, total revenue for the NOR flash industry continues to climb. Semico Research is forecasting that NOR revenue this year will grow to $8.9 billion, up from $5.5 billion in 2002, and then jump next year to $16.9 billion.
One factor spurring demand is the ever-increasing memory densities for advanced cellular handsets. Intel's Winslow said the average NOR densities per order are now doubling every 12 months and stood at 64Mbits in May, up from 32Mbits a year ago.
Intel is also reporting that the average density for new design wins for delivery in the second half of 2003 has jumped to more than 128Mbits.
NOR vendors are increasingly using stacked packages to achieve higher densities and also to combine NOR flash and an SRAM die in a single package. Winslow said 85% of Intel's latest design wins are shipping in stacked packages. AMD said it is shipping 40% to 50% of its flash in stacked packages.

Open Pantry and GSP Launch Rainforest Coffee Campaign
Promoting the new coffee blend, GSP Marketing Technologies transformed the coffee area of the store into a rainforest habitat.
PLEASANT PRAIRIE, Wis. -- Open Pantry, a convenience store chain with 26 stores throughout Milwaukee and Madison, Wis., partnered with GSP Marketing Technologies to launch the Rainforest Alliance coffee campaign to promote its new coffee blend farmed without harming the rainforests by leveraging a unique in-store experience developed by GSP, the companies reported.
GSP designed a rainforest habitat to incorporate the rainforest look and feel into each store, transforming the coffee area into a rainforest complete with jungle-themed designs, steam from a fog machine and a motion triggered lightning display as people approached the area. Other areas of the store, especially the outside pump area, were affixed with the graphics and frogs all inviting the consumer to the newly transformed area.
"GSP helped us create a very unique experience for our customers, which generated new buzz within our market space and has led to a great sales increase," said Jim Fiene, COO of Open Pantry.
The theme not only created excitement in an interactive environment for customers, it also promoted the free water with a coffee campaign. The overall campaign is estimated to increase coffee unit sales by 18 percent this past year.
"The cherry on top of the whole thing is we create an interaction between the consumer and the employee, which is the best thing you can do in a convenience store," said Fiene. "GSP was a great partner on this project and I look forward to solving the next retailing challenge with them."
