Barwa Addax's Giedo van der Garde ended up the most consistently successful driver at Valencia, with second place in the feature race and third in the sprint, but it was clear that he felt he had been robbed of victory in the former.
"I think we were very quick today, and we would have won: we have a very good start, and after that I was just controlling the pace because we knew that it would be a long race," he said. "After the pitstop the car was handling even better, and I was very pleased with that and quickly built a gap to 5 seconds, so I had that in the pocket ... But then I heard we had a drive through. I came in, and after that I think it was a very spectacular race!"
The highlight of van der Garde's recovery was his multi-lap battle with Davide Valsecchi that showed that races on the Valencia race track don't have to be dull affairs.
"It was a very good fight because in turn 14 I was quicker than him, but he could close the gap because there were walls and if I chose the right side, the inside, we would have been crashing!," he said, laughing. "But the third time he went straight and I knew, so I took him on the inside and then it was the last lap, so I just took it easy and controlled. We showed today that we are the man!"
"We were I think 2 or 3 seconds behind Grosjean, and I didn't have the pace or the speed to be with them in the second part of the race," said AirAsia's Valsecchi. "When they told me on the radio that van der Garde was behind because he took a drive-thru I tried to push all that I could to make a gap from [Racing Engineering's Dani] Clos, but he was just too fast. When he caught me he used a great technique to overtake me - it happens!"
Romain Grosjean was delighted with the victory in the feature race which followed van der Garde's drive-thru penalty. "I'm really happy with our second victory, which has been a long time coming. I was well on the pace and the team did a really good job to provide me with a competitive car. It's great that we're now back in the lead [of the GP2 championship].
Grosjean was in a rather more downbeat mood after the sprint race on Sunday. "What a frustrating race!," he said "We're really going to have to make a success of our second races despite the principle of the reversed grid."
As far as he was concerned, the accident for which he was penalised was not his fault. "The start went off alright and then the drivers just in front squeezed me and there was nothing I could do," he said, speaking before the news of his ten-place grid penalty to be served at the Silverstone feature race in two week's time. "In corners four/five a mechanical component broke after a driver tagged me from behind at the entry to corner four."
Dams team general manager Loic David confirmed that the spin that put Grosjean out of the sprint race was not a result of the second turn contact. "The contact in corner two was not the cause as he was caught in a sandwich," he explained. "It was after another contact in corner four that he spun in the following one due to a suspension breakage."
Grosjean's team mate Pal Varhaug was penalised the day before for contact with Fairuz Fauzy, and had to battle from 23rd place on the grid to a tenth place finish in the sprint race. "It's a pity I started from so far back. I nursed my tyres in the opening laps and that was a big help in the last ten," he said, but then saw the bright side of the experience. "I overtook six cars, which shows how much I've progressed. I have to score points in the next event. Roll on Silverstone!"
The sprint race was the first GP2 series win for 19-year-old Mexican driver Esteban Gutierrez for Lotus ART. "It's a very good result for us, a very good step from what we did at the previous events," he said. "We finally achieved it, and this is something that personally and inside the team makes us very motivated, because the way it's working is going in the right direction ... But we have to be realistic: it's only one win, it's only one event, and we have to keep getting points and to improve."
Valsecchi's AirAsia team mate Luiz Razia finished second in Sunday's race and admitted that he had been expecting Gutierrez' tyres to go off in the final laps and give him a chance to catch up and fight for the win - but it never happened.
"Yeah, I was expecting him to run out of tyres," he said. "With ten laps to go I said maybe now he'll start to go back, but his pace today was really good: I was really impressed because yesterday he was quite slow and we overtook him with 3 laps, but today he was strong from the beginning to the end, so congratulations to him."
And van der Garde finished in third place in the race, declaring: "I'm very pleased about the weekend [overall]: yesterday of course was not perfect, I should have won it but anyway the speed was there, the car was really fast yesterday. Today I struggled a bit at end of the race with the rear tyres.
"But anyway I'm very happy, it was a great race again today with some good overtaking and a reasonable start, and the [GP2 championship] competitors were more or less out, so I was pleased."
He agreed that the sort of consistency he had shown in Valencia was the key to winning titles. "Absolutely. You have to be there every time, even if you don't have the best car or you do have the best car, you have to be there every time," he insisted. "That's the key to this competition, because the opposition is so hard."
When it comes to consistency, the less said the better about the weekends of three of van der Garde's main rivals - his team mate Charles Pic, iSport's Sam Bird and Lotus ART's Jules Bianchi - the better.

I gave the dolyak a hearty slap on the hind quarters. The keep wouldn't stand against another attack without these supplies. Time was of the essence: there was only so long the warriors of Kodash could nip at the heels of the invaders before they over extended and had to retreat. The castle defences need repairing before the invaders can gain the upper hand and push us back behind the walls.
I spent the entire weekend gallivanting around the Eternal Battlegrounds. A whole weekend laying siege to keeps, escorting lonely pack animals, defending ogre tribes and mercilessly hunting down the opposing team – all in the name of journalism, of course. It's a lot to cram into one blog-post, so, without further ado:
Step one to getting to WvW was creating my character (well, step 0.1 was getting into the game – something I didn't achieve until the early hours of Saturday morning). I thought: who is the baddest cat in the entire world? Clint. So I made Clint.
I asked myself, do I feel lucky? The answer being a resounding yes, I jumped into Tyria and swiftly scurried through the starter quest (a necessary PvE distraction – I wanted to get as little exp from PvE as possible before jumping to WvW). Once out of the tutorial I hit H, selected the PvP option at the bottom and whisked myself away to the Mists.
I climbed to the top of the rise, a little ahead of my shaggy companion, and scanned the horizon. Not much further, I hoped. We'd held out as long as we could – charr alongside human and norn, but eventually we'd used the last of our supply and the gate began to creak. Fireball after fireball rained down on the bolted steel and wood. If the detachment from Stonemist hadn't arrived when it did, we'd have been overrun. Shouting slurs from the battlements is all very well and good, but once the gate falls and the flood of steel, lightning bolts and arrow heads washes through the breach, even the most stalwart warrior's bowels turn to water.
The Eternal Battlegrounds and Coloured Borderlands
After a comprehensive training section (it involved "go here – rez this person, well done you're fully trained; get out there soldier!") I hopped through the portal to the Eternal Battlegrounds. This central zone is where the three opposing servers really grind up against each other – a maze of lakes, hills, cliffs and mountains housing castles, keeps, camps and numerous NPC encounters to keep the gameplay varied. This zone differs from the outer zones in that all three servers start relatively close to each other, so players flood into the centre of the area and duke it out (it was common to come across three-way battles, which were utter chaos).
Guerrilla warfare is not your friend in this area. Traveling as a group which is smaller than about twelve but larger than three makes you noticeable enough to be a target, but not intimidating enough to retreat from. This is definitely the zergs-paradise. Moving as an amorphous blob – absorbing and destroying almost everything it comes across, the zerg-train can roll over almost everything. I say almost – and I'll come to that in a moment.
If you are a smaller group of bandits, hoping for some quick kills and easy targets – I'd head to the Borderlands. These are more open, allowing for smaller groups of savvy players to fall upon individual players and other weak targets. Each server has its own Borderlands to defend – but it isn't in the average gamer's attitude to hold out in a war of attrition when they could be off attacking a keep of their own. I generally encountered smaller groups of players and individuals exploring and gathering crafting ingredients. Moving as a fast-paced smaller group you can take supply camps and kill-off caravans with ease and then disappear into the ether just as quickly (I found diving into the nearest lake to be a very good way to lose any pursuers).
As we rounded the final rocky cliff-edge, the great cacophony of war washed over us – causing the dolyak to rear and kick. The crash of warhammers, swords and maces on stone, the constant swoosh and blast of fireballs, lightning bolts and ice shards crashing against bodies and castle walls alike and, most worryingly, the twang of ropes twisted and pulled taught, the explosion of rock against wood – a great engine of war swinging a ram as big as an ox. This is what I had feared; I had come too late
Siege Engines and Castle Upgrades
I mentioned that the zerg-train can roll pretty much anything in its path. One thing it can't just roll over is castle walls. Even a group of 50 will struggle to break down a keep's gate within 20 minutes through normal attacks alone – and by that time it is likely they would have been picked off by defenders on the walls and on the ground.
So, even the most accomplished of attackers should carry around some siege equipment. Siege engine blueprints can be purchased from the vendors in the main castle (and from siege-masters in keeps if you have bought one), they take about one hundred supply to build once placed on the ground. Out of all the pieces of equipment I encountered, the most effective was the ram – able to make short work of gates (doing about 8000 damage with each hit), it was also one of the cheapest. It did have one downside though – the oil barrels.
Defending players are able to buy keep upgrades from the Quartermaster to further strengthen their position in the keep. From what I saw, they were surprisingly cheap, and the most difficult part was finding the supply to build them. The most effective defense, by a long way, was the oil barrel – suspended above the castle gate, it pours burning oil on the attackers below – meaning it was the perfect counter to an enemy ram. Whenever a zerg approached a gate it was always accompanied by shouts of "destroy the oil, n0000bz!" as wave after wave of attackers charged into the gate and promptly melted.
The lesson to learn from all this is that the single most important resource in WvW is supply. You use it to build siege engines, repair walls, build cannons and oil barrels, and strengthen walls and towers. You can wear down a keep by cutting off its supply, and you can hold out for a hell of a long time if you are defending a keep with a lot of it.
Pounding hooves on cobblestone pathways, the sound of the warhorn adding pace to our flight. The invaders were so engrossed in rapping on the door that they barely noticed one ranger and a dolyak approaching from the east. One more blast of the enchanted warhorn willed the great beast into a frenzy, he reared – letting out a mighty wail – before charging through the mass of bodies, sending chainmail-clad guardians and staff-wielding elementalists flying in all directions. I hung on for dear life as he stormed through the portal and tumbled across the courtyard in a cloud of dust and fury.
Final thoughts
I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend in WvW. I managed to get my human ranger to level 10, and my charr thief to level 6 – both solely through experience gained on the battlefield. I also amassed around 25 Badges of Honor through player kills. Frankly, it is difficult to class WvW as PvP – as the little player vs player you come across is usually a swift and overwhelming zerg descending on a lone player, but it is fun nonetheless. And the dynamic of capturing and protecting supply lines adds a really nice ebb and flow to the gameplay which means that momentum is everything. If you get a real good thing going, your whole server gets stat boosts – which can further cement your dominance on the battlefield.
Six months down the line I expect siege weapons and keep upgrades to be pretty prevalent: being so cheap. I hope also, that we get some strong and tactically-minded commanders to take charge of the unruly mobs which punctuated my time in The Mists. I also anticipate people working out that the /local chat channel is cross-server, not just for your team – but that particular piece of information might take a while to sink through.
During the beta, WvW was a glorious mess – just a great swirling mass of chaos and fire. I'm not sure what it might turn into once the game begins in earnest, but I loved every single second of the terribly bloody affair.
It took three mesmers to calm the mind of the frenzied dolyak. Most of the supply had been thrown from his packs when he flew into the yard, so the workers were already hurriedly using it to repair the gate and patch the walls. "Grab a box and get up here, we are almost ready!" I heard from atop the gatehouse – the guards on the walls beckoned to me – I dragged myself out of the dirt and grabbed some supply.
At the top of the wall, the extent of the invader's army was spread out in front of me – warriors and guardians beneath the walls operating the ram, rangers, thieves, mesmers and necromancers behind the front line; hurling arrows, spells and throwing knives at the guards on the walls. With each swing of the ram, the entire wall shook. I stood at the edge of the battlements and gaped in horror and wonderment. The workers wrenched the supply from my grasp and hurried it over to the scaffold which hung above the main gate.
The men worked with admirable fury and intense precision, fashioning the supply into a great iron cauldron which instantly filled with boiling and bubbling oil conjured out of the air by the keep necromancer. The workers stood back and admired their creation. The wall shook from the impacts below. "What do you think of that?" one said, dusting off his hands.
I was still gaping when he shook me by the arm:
"We're doomed" I said.
The worker turned to his creation and slowly pulled the lever, releasing the torrent of boiling oil "Oh ho, We're just getting started".

A stoppage-time goal from Armenian striker Aras Ozbiliz consigned Dan Petrescu's Dynamo Moscow to a 2-1 home defeat to his former charges FC Kuban in the Russian Premier League on Sunday.
A sixth league defeat in seven games left Dynamo at the bottom of the table with three points, as Kuban moved to eighth with nine points.
Zenit St. Petersburg and Terek Grozny share the lead with 16 points, the champions ahead only on goal difference.
Dynamo opened the scoring in first-half injury time as Ecuador midfielder Christian Noboa struck from distance into the left corner of the net.
The visitors leveled it on 65 minutes in equally spectacular fashion as midfielder Artem Fiedler lashed a free kick into Anton Shunin's bottom right corner.
Ozbiliz sealed Kuban a comeback win in the third minute of the stoppage time, finishing off a swift counterattack by cutting in from the right and unleashing an unstoppable drive into the top corner from 20 yards.
Immediately after that goal Petrescu, who left Kuban in August to take over at troubled Dynamo a week later, stormed out of the dugout disappeared into the dressing room without awaiting the final whistle.
Shortly before Kuban equalized Dynamo captain Igor Semshov rushed clear for a one-on-one against Alexander Belenov, but the goalkeeper read his chip and plucked it out of the air.
Earlier Sunday, CSKA Moscow edged past a resilient FC Krasnodar with a 1-0 away win.
On Saturday, Terek Grozny continued their astonishing start with a 2-1 away win over 10-man Rubin Kazan thanks to a late winner from Magomed Mitrishev; and a late equalizer from striker Alexei Sapogov gave 10-man FC Volga a 1-1 draw against FC Rostov.
A 70th-minute strike from Hungarian striker Tamas Priskin saved newly promoted Alania Vladikavkaz from a home defeat against Amkar Perm, as the teams played a 1-1 draw.
In Friday's only game, Zenit secured a 3-0 away victory against newly promoted Mordovia Saransk with striker Alexander Kerzhakov bagging a brace.
Later Sunday, Krylya Sovetov Samara host Anzhi Makhachkala and Moscow rivals Spartak and Lokomotiv clash in the match of the day.

Bluff Community Was Early Settlement - 1854
by Mavous Dubose Barnes
Some of the early settlers of the Bluff Community around 1854-1860 were Tilliman SOUTH, Lewis Edward CORBETT, Ruben POWELL, George THOMAS, Robert McCARVER, John M. THOMPSON, Thomas M. MONTGOMERY, N.J. DYER, J.M. CAMPBELL, John BARNES, and Bill TURNER. [In] 1898-1908; Some families living in Bluff Community [were Jimmy MOBLEY, William J. DUBOSE, Nero HOCUTT, B.D. KIRKLAND, John SIMS, Marcellis SOUTH, William (Bill) ROBERTS, O.A. WHITE, John P. CORBETT, Jim MOSLEY, Joe CUNNINGHAM, Taylor FOWLER, Jim BENTON, George THOMAS, Jackson KIRKLEY, and Arthur VERNON.
Descendants of some of these families are living at this time in the Community.
Most of the early settlers owned land joining each other. The land had virgin timber on it and had to be cleared out in order to build houses. Some were log houses. They split rails for fences, rived boards to cover buildings and spun thread from cotton and wool, wove the thread on looms to make cloth for clothing. They raised sheep for wool, and ducks and geese for feathers for beds and pillows. They used home raised gourds to drink water from and buckets made from cedar to hold water. Cooking was done on the open fire place and after stoves became available the Dutch oven was still used to cook on the fire.
In those early days and for several years to come they had open stock law; each person who owned cattle and hogs had a certain brand so as to be able to identify their own stock.
At first oxen were used for work animals. Later on horses and mules were in use. Wagons and buggies were used for transportation.
In about 1902 a post office was built near the head of Hell's Creek about 12 miles North west of Fayette. Mrs. Molly HOLLIMAN named it Bluff from the large rocks on what is now called Bluff Mountain. [See map of area here.]
In 1904 the post office was moved about one half mile from where it was originally built.
Mrs. Fannie MOSLEY was the keeper of the first post office. The first gin in this community was owned and operated by John BARNES. The Cotton Press was pulled by mules. He also had a saw mill and a Mill pond where corn was ground into meal.
In 1904 a grist mill and a cotton gin were erected at Bluff. About a year later two more stores were built. After a few years two of the stores went out of business and were torn down. The other store remained in business for about 20 years.
In 1931 another store was built but [is] not in operation at present. A few years after this store was built several warehouses were built by two JONES brothers. T.J. JONES became owner of the gin about this time, installing all new modern equipment. But in 1968 the gin burned and has not been rebuilt.
In this community has lived the county doctors Dr. MADDOX, Dr. MILLER, and Dr. John ROBERTS who had his first office at Bluff about 1908-10. He moved to Vernon Ala. in 1919 and still resides there.
In the early days entertainment was a kind of working – The quilting Bee's for the ladies and log rollings or house raisings for the men. The women would cook up food and get everything in order while the men carried the logs to be placed in huge piles for burning later. The square dance was popular as entertainment for the young folks as well as old. The beds were taken down in one room and carried out so there would be room to square dance.
They also had corn huskings and preaching at different homes in the community as opportunity afforded.
The first school to be built in this community was about one mile north of Bethel Church. It was in the latter half of the nineteenth century and was known as the Old South School. Around 1900 school was taught in Bethel Church house.
Some of the teachers were Willis TAYLOR, Pervie LUCAS, Lee MOSLEY, Willard DYER, Hester OTTS, Alexander SMITH, Gurley BENTON, and Charles WHITEHEAD. School was in session 3½ months in winter and 1½ months in summer.
About 1912 a two room school was built a little way north of the church. It was called Bethel also. Some of the teachers were Lamply NORTHAM, Wilma KIRKLAND, Bess ANTHONY, Ora REESE, Thomas LOLLAR, Docia HAWKINS, Florence MUSGROVE, Newburn PATTERSON, Connie BALLENGER, Lewis ACKERMAN, Juliett GREEN, and Charles WEEKS.
In 1927 Bluff, Shady Grove, Bethabra, Center, and Bethel consolidated and built a larger school called Kirkland Jr. High. It was named for B.D. KIRKLAND.
Our community has been outstanding in schools. Kirkland School furnished many outstanding ball players to the Fayette High School each year while school was taught there. Valedictorians and Salutatorians, and outstanding 4-H-ers.
Kirkland had a large enrollment at first, about 300 pupils with 7 teachers. But as people moved away from the community, enrollment decreased over the years. In 1967 the school was closed and the students now go to Fayette. The community has no school now.
The teachers and parents had much pride in Kirkland School and took much interest in the school. It was the main center of interest for the community.
We regret the loss of the school in our community. The building is now being used for a community center.
There have been a number of churches in Bluff Community. Trinity Methodist, Shady Grove Nazarine, Bethel Missionary Baptist, Mt. Olive Church of Christ, and Spring Hill Baptist.
Some of the charter members of Mt. Olive Church are Mr. and Mrs. Burt BARNES, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor FOWLER, Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy MOBLEY, Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy COLLINS, Mr. and Mrs. Doc HYDER, Mr. and Mrs. Hardy HOUSH, and Mr. and Mrs. Murray V. STEWART.
Bethel Church charter members were Mr. and Mrs. _______, and Mr. and Mrs. Dan HAWKINS.
Some pastors who have served Bethel Church since 1891 are J.P. DICKINSON, 1891; J.F. WILLIS, 1903-1905; W.K. PENNINGTON, 1905-1906; C.D. STEWART, 1906-1912; W.F. GILPIN, 1925-1926; W.H. HAMILTON, 1926-1927; and A.M. NIX, 1927-1959.
We have plenty of water in the community fish ponds. Turkey Creek heads south east of Bluff and keeps flowing on toward Luxapallia. Hell's Creek also heads near Bluff. The soil is very fertile in the lowland near the creeks.
A sentimentalist once said something about God piercing the blue canopy of heaven to make peep holes through which to look upon his children; that the holes we see at night are the stars; that the fragments [p]ierced by Him fell to the earth in a heap and made Alabama, a little "heap" fell around Bluff, Alabama and there's no other place on earth so grand!
In conclusion:
"Those who forget their past have no future."

Born Aaron Dontez Yates almost 40 years ago, Tech N9ne has slowly, steadily built a career for himself from a combination of raw talent, hard work, and evolving maturity. After several false starts in the early '90s, his first solo album, The Calm Before The Storm, arrived in 1999, when he was 28, and almost twelve years to the day later, on November 8, 2011, he's celebrating his thirteenth release, Welcome to Strangeland. And during that time, he learned a lot of tough lessons not just about the music business, but life in general, and he's applied them to his art and used that art as an outlet for his thoughts, feelings and experiences.
Crave Online spoke to Tech during the Los Angeles leg of his current tour, which is promoting both his last album, June's All 6's and 7's, and the forthcoming Welcome to Strangeland. In addition to discussing the "Nightmare Before Christmas-ish" sounds of his upcoming release, he talked about translating his studio work to the stage, and offered some insights into his creative process, and more importantly, how it provides a catharsis for him in his personal life.
How do you translate what you do in the studio to the stage?
I don't even have a DJ any more, man. I have a computer called Instant Replay, and I go into the studio, I choose the songs that I want to do, and I link them all so they're nonstop. Our show is like an hour-and-something, nonstop, and then we do the last six songs manually. I plan it like that, and I make sure it's explosive all the way through. I make sure my guys, Kev Calhoun and Chris Calcutta, have three songs apiece within the show. The show is like an hour and 30 minutes, and this one that I do, I gave myself breaks, which I usually never do. I usually never give myself breaks to sit down in back and have some water; I usually go all of the way through, and I kill myself – it's insanity. But this time I gave myself breaks, to sit down and then come back, and it's wonderful. I love the new show.
How difficult is it when you're using a computer program to be able to interact with the crowd or improvise?
It's like a lot of the fans know the music, so when I'm in the studio I do punch-outs on the choruses so they can say it. I learned a lot from the old school how to really put together a show, so crowd participation is a must so that they're with me the whole hour and 30.
When you start work on new material, how do you rekindle your creativity each time? Or are you always recording or working, even when you're on the road?
I actually get the beats sent to me when I'm on tour. Like I'll tell the producers exactly what I want – like "I want something enchanting and Beetlejuice-ish, and Nightmare Before Christmas-ish." I'll tell me producers that, and they'll start sending me beats, and I'll select them one by one. And most of the time I'll select like three or four of them with the intent to use every last one. And that's pretty much how we do it; we do the choruses while we're out here on tour. It's almost impossible to write out here on tour, because it's distracting, and when I get home, I go right into the studio with all of the ideas. That's how Welcome to Strangeland came about, and that's how all of my albums come about.
What does "Nightmare Before Christmas-ish" mean?
You know – if you listen to the music, "some-thing's-up-with-Jack/ some-thing's-up-with-Jack" – it's like sinister, but it's cartoonish. So it's like Danny Elfman, he's wonderful, and just that orchestra that he had [was great]. My show start off like that, with [the music from] Beetlejuice, you know what I mean? I'm into that shit, so that's what I wanted Strangeland to feel like, and my producers, I think they nailed it.
Is it prohibitive to actually sample that music or do you prefer to create something more inspired by that?
It's prohibitive to use that music, because we hate paying for samples. They take forever, and sometimes they never come through, especially with the stuff that I want. Luckily, we got, "I'm a playa, I'm a playa" from Falco's "Amadeus" – we got that years ago. We got that and they took 50 percent and shit and everything was cool and they gave us something wonderful. But we enjoy originals, so we don't have to be in court with anybody; I don't want to go through that. So we tell our producers to try to stay away from samples, unless it's something humongous that Tech wants, and then we'll try to go after it. But it's a headache, man.
At this point in your career, what inspires your songwriting? And where do you draw a line between being honest about your life, and adopting a persona for the purposes of telling a story?
I don't draw a line at all, man. I'm inside out. That's why fans love me. My wife says, people party through their pain – well, this was before we separated – and she said, "you say too much!" and I write my life, so I have to write it as it happens. But if I were real about everything, I would break everybody's heart, so I know exactly what to say, but I hint around to a lot of stuff. And what inspires me is life – that's why I don't believe in writer's block, because the cure to writer's block for me is go out and have something to happen to you, or read a fucking book. And I don't have time to read the books that I used to back in the day, like The Celestine Prophecy, The Illuminati back when I was younger – I don't have the time to read that. So I let life happen to me, and I write my life. And it's a beautiful thing to make a living off writing what you know and people actually liking it. Because who's to say your life is that exciting that people want to know about it? But they do; like when I'm on the road doing shows, I'm away from my children, and then I write a song called "The Rain," and the whole world feels me. They don't have to be a rapper, you know what I'm saying? There's other occupations that have them away from their families, so when I'm writing my life, somehow it touches other walks of life.
What do you think is too far, or where do you draw the line between telling a story and complete personal candor?
Like if you fucked your woman's best friend, you're not going to say that on a song. But you're going to say, "while you're loving me, I'm loving your friend." It's vague, but you still get it out. Like you don't say, "my girlfriend's best friend sucked me down." You don't want to break any hearts, so there's certain things you just don't say. But me, I have to get it out of me.
How much freestyling do you do?
I don't do any freestyling at all. I've taken too many drugs to think quick like that, but to do that and have it connect is a wonderful thing. I paint beautiful pictures with rhyme, you know, Tech Van Gogh – I am a murderer with a pen, I'll tell you that. But it hits me like a freestyle. Like I don't really know what I'm going to say, I know one word, and it's "narcissistic," and I'll wait for something to rhyme with "narcissistic," and I'll wait for a minute and get, "hard to grip it," "dark and wicked," and it just keeps coming. It just comes out, and you don't know what you're going to say next. It's such a weird process for me, because I didn't know I could rhyme "narcissistic" that many times when I wrote it, and I challenged myself. And every time I do it, I end up being able to rhyme it, and at the end of four bars, I say thank you Jesus, because I had no idea I could rhyme all of those words like that.
Do you tend to start with an idea or a rhyme or the music first?
I start with the music first – my producers send me the music – and we'll come up with the chorus, because the beat tells you exactly what to do. If the beat is sad, then we're going to talk about something sad, like, oh, this is what happened, my mom is going through this. It's like life happens on those beats, and they tell you what to do. So we do the chorus first, and then from the chorus we'll have the title of the song. Sometimes I come up with the title and I say, "I want this song to be called 'Overwhelming', because it feels like the love I get from my fans is so overwhelming that I've got to have this song saying that."
What comes easier for you, the faster rapping, or the slower stuff?
[Rapping fast] is hard as hell, man. And that's my specialty, being from the Midwest. You have to count it, and it's hard as hell – triple-time and double-time takes you longer than just like a regular rhyme. It's like I love to just be an MC, but everybody wants you to go [fast]; I did it to myself, and it's a curse. But I do it well, but it's extremely hard to write it. There's a technique to it, and it's hard as hell to write, and I hate writing it, but they love for me to do it.
How tough is it to remember all of these verses? Presumably you're reading lyrics you've written down when you're in the studio – do you have to do a lot of work to memorize things for when you go on tour?
Yes, you have to rehearse. That's something that happened on this tour, because we had no rehearsal time. So where I started this tour I was doing the old show prior to this tour, and the places I went didn't see that tour. But the show that I constructed for this tour was too intricate and we had to have rehearsals because we didn't know the songs. Here are a lot of new songs, so we have to rehearse those things, and make sure the guys that are behind me know the words that they're supposed to say. It's hard to do what I do up there, man, because there are a lot of lyrics, and you have to rehearse.
I wish that they automatically stayed in your head when you write them, but when you write them, we're reading them. We write them on the spot, because we don't have time to really sit at home like I would like all of the time and write these, so we're writing them on the spot in the studio and then we go in there and we read them off the paper. And after we do that one, we go to the next one, and we have them at the end of the night put them on CD and we listen to them, going, "wow – that's beautiful." But then we'll be on to the next song the next day, so you have to go back and study that.
How much do you learn from the process of writing songs about your life? Do you get a greater sense of perspective on things that happen to you after you rap about them?
Well, what it does is it's like therapy. When you write your life, and you talk about a lot of messed-up things that happened, it's therapy, because if you don't let it out you'll explode. This is a great vehicle to get things out to people, like, you know what? I've got to get this out of my heart, I've got to get this out of my brain, because it's tormenting me. So I've got you let y'all know it, and it is liberating, man. It's like the best thing you can do.
Chris Calico is suffering from anxiety, and his number one song is called "Anxiety," which people love. They love it! And he got it out, and it's a beautiful thing for him to do that. Or like, you know, my mom was suffering from pancreatitis in 2009, so I did a whole dark album called K.O.D. – King of Darkness. And the first song was called, "Show Me Your God;" it's like me telling God, please show me a ghost or something to let me know the spiritual realm exists, so I'll know if what I'm praying to is a real thing. If it's a He or a She or a thing, I don't know – all we know is what the Bible says, and man wrote that, so it's misleading.
So it was like me talking to God, like, please show me something other than human beings. So when I see a baby born, that's amazing – that's a miracle. But Creationism and Darwinism exist, so it's me talking to God, and it's crazy when you can get stuff out like this. And people can comment on it, like, "oh, he doesn't believe in God," but no, I did not say that. I said, let me know something is listening when I'm down on my knees. So I get to get those things out, and it's most beautiful thing ever.
As an elder statesman in an industry that prioritizes youth, how hard is it to stay passionate, especially since to stay in it you have to focus on business as much as art?
Dude, I will be 40 years old Novermber 8th, 40. And it's like the older I get, the younger my fans get; they're starting at two! It's like they're young-ass Technicians. Or the little young girls in their miniskirts that are 18 years old, I'm like, what am I saying to get all you sexy motherfuckers in here? It's the craziest thing – I talk about partying a lot, and that might get them there. I talk about sex a lot because I'm a Scorpio male. But I talk about grown-up shit too, like owing the IRS, and this, that and the other. So the older I get, I think I'm getting better, and when you listen to All 6s and 7s, it's a leap, and with this new one coming out on my birthday, November 8th, Welcome to Strangeland, you'll hear it from start to finish – it's like super elite. It's like practice makes perfect. And I don't think I'm at the hilt yet, I don't think I'm at the pinnacle. I don't think I'm at the top yet. I have a lot more to go. So I listen to myself, and it sounds like I'm getting younger on my songs, so it's like, am I going backwards? I don't know.

|After a ton of investigation, our third-generation 4Runner's suspension finally came together.
More Gen 3 4Runner Build Stories:
If you own a third-generation Toyota 4Runner – one built from 1996 through 2002 – and you've tried to build out the suspension, with any effort your investigation has probably found a bottomless list of ways to do so.
OEM-based, factory-tuned, aftermarket, desert, expedition, spacer, coil, arms and legs and cats and dogs, they're all available in your effort to put your 4Runner up enough to satisfy your style of off-road use. We've done some reading, some experimentation and some thinking and have come to a few conclusions – mainly that we're going to start with the TRD Tundra-based front suspension.
By the way, last month we went through the Tundra big-brake swap for the third-gen 4Runner. The rotor-warping fade of the original 4Runner brakes is gone. We've even had a couple nasty panic stops (not intentionally), and those big binders might just have saved a few standard So Cal phone-chattin idiot drivers' day.
Bilstein 5100 and TRD blue/yellow-yellow/yellow, with modified top-hats and not much else.
Hard Facts are Kind'a Soft
If you're doing the math and want lift numbers, the fuzz-effect is in full. Different specs between different rigs make it tricky to clarify changes in lift beyond rough figures, and we have on good authority from vendors that even different runs of the same part-number can have variations. Think about it – an SR5, Sport, Limited or base-model 4Runner will all take the same spring and shock combo in front, but none of them will sit the same. Transmission and engine choice, options, use and abuse, model year, even your 4Runner's place in the weekly build cycle can alter its stance. Manufacturer's tolerances exist for a reason, eh? You're never going to be sure to the millimeter, and the TRD-Bilstein combo we're using might put an extra centimeter on your rig over ours.
|On the left is the 1996-2002 4Runner/Tacoma top-hat and isolator, and on the right the first-gen Tundra. You'll need the Tundra isolator, which slips on to the 4Runner metal hat. The stud-span on the Tundra top-hat is too big for the 4Runner's upper perch. The fit is perfect.
Details of the Process – Lifting The Front End
One of the pleasures of this project has been the subject itself. Toyotas in general, and the third-gen 4Runner in particular, are a treat to wrench upon. Even the tricky parts figured themselves out in a linear, consistent fashion – it's as if the engineers intended the truck to be repaired, not thrown away or clunked.
Loaded TRD/Bilstein coilover (left) and factory (right).
For this application, the TRD springs, dripping with factory quality and simple effectiveness, were combined with a set of Bilstein 5100s. It's an OEM-centered combination that offers builders and newbie modifiers a coilover that mounts directly, with no mechanical alterations and just one tweak. It replicates the confidence brought by using parts from the same manufacturer that made the originals (keep in mind that Bilstein made the original TRD Tundra shocks). You can reuse factory coilover bits (minus the 5100s), though a set of 4Runner/Tacoma top-hats must be combined with a set of Tundra top-hat isolators to make the combo work. Junkyard, please.
In our case – SR5 '97, auto transmission, sunroof and the V6 – we netted about four centimeters of height with Toyota Racing Development's Tundra springs, parts 48131-AF090 and 48131-AF100 (left & right). Yup, these are the famous blue/yellow-yellow/yellow TRD springs, available from Toyota dealerships and TRD retailers all over the place (ask for your official Off-road.com discount). That a little more than an inch and a half in front – important, because it's safe for your half-shafts without a diff-drop. It'll also make most 33-inch tires fit without complaint, and could make 31s look a tad smallish (though very stuffable).
More Gen 3 4Runner Build Stories:
The hidden gem and source of future modification fun will be the adjustable-perch Bilstein 5100 shocks, in particular the BE5-6929-HO (what Bilstein calls a high-performance leveling shock for the first-gen Tundra). The leveling capacity comes from the adjustable lower perch on the shock. The same unit that will take a Tundra from nose-down to slightly nose-up (there's about 2.5 inches/60mm of adjustability) is all up for a 4Runner, with the lowest setting on the 5100 bringing, in our installation, 1.5 inches, or four centimeters of lift. Bilstein already manufactures the OEM shocks for Toyota Racing Development's Tundras and Tacomas, so we didn't stop to question the quality. There are numerous other shock choices for a 4Runner suspension, but between our interest in exploring the TRD Tundra option and making an easy OEM-based choice that would inspire confidence and ready modification, we went back to parts used by the factory.
On the left is the original 4Runner coilover, while on the right is the TRD/Bilstein coilover installed.
Torn now, we are, between using the Bilsteins and their adjustable perch to increase front-end lift, and using a top-out spacer that mounts between the coilover top-hat and the upper perch. One would be super-economical, the other provide a neat opportunity to introduce an HDPE spacer or other plastic spacer (using elongated studs) to reduce translation of suspension-to-body vibration. A top-out spacer would also preserve the spring rate, while the adjustable perch on the shock body could bring us closer to full-droop in the Bilstein, possibly compromising function on our lighter-than-Tundra application. Oh, the joy of finding out – stay tuned.
The only spot of serious labor: you'll see the small tooth of metal on the top of the steering knuckles. It's obvious what needs to be removed. Round it off before the TRD/Bilstein coilover goes in.
Removing the front coilover assembly is as quick as jacking up your truck, popping the front tire and wheel off, loosening the top-hat nuts (don't remove them until the bottom through-bolt is loose), and then slipping the bottom bolt out. The top of the shock will follow the bottom out as a whole unit. It's heavier than it looks. Follow that with cleaning of all the pockets, perches and openings because 4Runners tend to keep dirt everywhere, and the new/clean parts going in will appreciate a tidy new home.
The only real labor invasion of the bolting process is to grind a small horn of metal off the top of the steering knuckle, as we've indicated. It's not much more than flashing, and a few minutes with the four-inch grinder or 10 minutes with a flat file will make it go away. The Tundra coil wrap is slightly wider than the 4Runner, and this bit of metal gets in the way of full-lock travel.
Two moments of big rat engineering are also required to install the TRD Tundra-based front shocks. It's nothing heavy – just leverage. Actually, heavy would be good – the leverage required on the upper A-arm is full-grown man style. No one will get hurt, but if your girlfriend weighs less than 130 or has girlie arms, call the dude next door with the beer belly, unless he also has girlie arms. Point is, when you need to slide the bottom bolt through the shock, you'll need a little extra compression on the upper arm (take a crowbar from the top of the arm to the hinged inboard point at the back of the arm, and lean on it) just for an instant.
The lower shock mount, which is just a bolt, is not the best place to find leverage – work from above.
We'll report back with the 4Runner's rear suspension (thought-heavy, process-light) and how it all works as a package in a week or three. Hint hint – it works. This isn't a tricky installation, but there are too many details not to call the selection process complicated. We'll have before and after pics too, for your eyeballing-the-lift pleasure.
|The top of the unit bolts in with limited drama – three bolts and a little Liquid Wrench and you're good.

Everyone knows that sweeping self-improvement New Year's resolutions get broken faster than you can say "I'd like the cheesecake for dessert, please." Resolve to ban sugar forever, exercise every day or read every word of the New York Times seven days a week, and you'll be lucky to last a month before you fall off the wagon. The key is to start small. In the improve-your-diet department, here are 13 tips to move yourself – and your family – in the right direction.
- Adopt Meatless Mondays – Going meatless just one day a week can reduce your risk of several chronic diseases as well as shrink your carbon footprint. VIPs from Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson and ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney to actress Emily Deschanel, The Biggest Loser's Bob Harper and Food Network chef Giada De Laurentiis have endorsed the strategy for both the body and the planet.
- Try "clean eating" – Replace pizza and processed foods with fresh meats, produce and seasonal items. For help and sample menus created by a foodie mom who feeds her own family of six this way, see the eMeals Clean Eating plan – complete with ideas like Greek Chicken Wraps with Spinach Cantaloupe Salad that even a toddler can love.
- Dump the 'bad' oils – Banish butter and bacon grease and replace them with healthy fats like canola and olive oil. Try making your own salad dressing with oil and your favorite vinegar. Your cholesterol level will thank you.
- Eat breakfast every day – The old adage is true: breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. It fuels your body and brain with the energy you need to face the day. Whether it's a smoothie, Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal or Whole Wheat Banana Nut Muffins, you can get quick and healthy breakfast ideas like these and much more from eMeals' breakfast plans.
- Purge your pantry and fridge – Get rid of anything that's expired or unhealthy, then restock with healthy staples like brown rice, dried beans, canned tuna and prepared pasta sauce for quick and nutritious meals.
- Brown-bag it at least 3 days a week – Pack your lunch for work or school to eat better – and save money too. You'll find inspiration – and recipes for goodies like Turkey Pepperoni Pasta Salad – on eMeals' lunch plan.
- Eat a colorful ROYGBIV diet – Red foods like tomatoes, watermelon, grapefruit, red bell pepper and red cabbage contain lycopene, which may reduce the risk of some cancers. Orange choices are filled with Vitamin A and carotenoids that are good for your eyesight. Blue/purple produce includes anthycyanins that support heart health. And green veggies contain isothyiocyanates that help flush cancer-causing compounds out of the body. Bonus: the Vitamin K in leafy greens helps regulate blood pressure too.
- Downsize your plates – We all tend to eat everything we put on our plates – and usually that's way too much. If you start a meal with salad, that helps fill you up so you won't overeat the rest of your dinner. You can also get ideas for portion-controlled meals here.
- Switch out soda – All of the calories in soda and sugary drinks are empty calories, meaning they contribute no healthy nutrients. Swap soda for calorie-free beverages like water or sparkling water (add a splash of lemon or lime for flavor), or beverages with some nutritional value, like skim milk or small amounts of 100% fruit juice.
- Add kale, quinoa or both to your plate – Just one cup of kale contains 180% of the daily requirement of Vitamin A, 200% of Vitamin C, and 1,020% of Vitamin K, making it a cancer-fighting superfood. Quinoa is a gluten-free whole grain and a complete protein ideal for gluten-free, vegetarian, or overall healthy diets. Start with the Walnut-Raisin Quinoa recipe – yum!
- Make half your plate fresh fruit and vegetables – Diets high in fruits and vegetables contribute to a reduced risk of heart disease, some cancers, obesity and Type II Diabetes. They're also high in fiber, so they fill you up with fewer calories than other foods.
- Take the Paleo plunge – This one is for the more adventurous, but it's not as difficult as it seems. The 'caveman diet' focuses on meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, fresh produce, tree nuts and seeds, and healthy fats, eliminating processed foods, grains, dairy, sugar, legumes and potatoes. You'll find a printable shopping list here and sample menus here.
- Try meal planning and avoid the 6 o'clock drive through run – You'll save time and money – and also eat healthier – when you plan ahead. eMeals can help by delivering weekly menus, recipes and grocery lists directly to your email inbox, saving hours of "What do I make for dinner?" angst, as well as ensuring variety and enabling efficient once-a-week food shopping.
What are you doing to eat healthier in 2013?

Mr. Felipe Canales, AXTEL´s Chief Financial Officer stated "We understand that some bondholders were not able to tender their Old Notes by the Early Tender Date due to administrative issues. Therefore, the extension announced will make the Early Tender Date consideration available through the extended date." The Exchange Offers and the terms of the New Notes are revised as follows: Extension of Early Tender Date. The Early Tender Date is 5:00 p.m. New York City time on January 24, 2013, unless extended or earlier terminated by Axtel Capital. No other changes to the terms of the Exchange Offers were announced.

Casa Artis est idéalement situé pour ceux qui veulent découvrir Bologne: à deux pas du centre et de la Pinacothèque, dans un quartier animé avec tous les services (supermarché, restaurants...). L'appartement est très calme, très confortable et offre une bibliothèque particulièrement bien documentée pour les touristes. Nous avons été vraiment contents de notre séjour, merci à notre hôte pour son hospitalité.

Jan was an extremely lovely and considerate host who truly had considered all the needs of his guest when settling up Holiday Apartment - Artis A very clean and well organised apartment with washing machine, iron, hairdryer, coffee makers, tea towels, bath towels all pots and pans and all required kitchen utensils. We have stayed in a few other apartments since and have to rate Artis as being the most organised and comfortable. It also just had a very cozy and rustic feel and we felt immediately 'at home' in the place. The location was very central right in the middle of Bologna but yet very quiet and very safe - being contained in a courtyard and having three locking doors between the street and the apartment. We would not hesitate to return to stay in the Holiday Apartment - Artis, for the next time we return to Bologna. Thanks Jan.

What a wonderful apartment! Mister Nooij made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The refrigerator even had fresh creme for our coffee. A very nice man. The apartment is on the 3rd floor and is bright and airy. It overlooks an inner courtyard, but if you turn your head you can see the towers of Bologna. When the bells toll later in the morning, it's like music. This was our first visit to Bologna. I hope it wont be our last. The beauty of this city and the quality of the food in the restaurants is outstanding.
No complaints. We felt at home here.

First, the entrance to the apartment was pleasant; then the orientation provided by the owner was most friendly and helpful. The apartment was perfectly set up for our stay of 9 days, with condiments, tea, coffee, cookies etc. We very much appreciated this. Also, many guides and pamphlets to the city were helpful. Location was perfect. We were very satisfied.
In finding this location, I got a little lost, as depending on whether one turned west or east (or was it north/south), off of Via Independenzia , the name of the street changed. Tired, and coming from the airport by bus, with luggage, it was a little frustrating trying to find the street. Once I did that, however, it was fine. But making it a little clearer in the directions would be helpful.
The bedroom, when our bed was made up as a double bed, did not have enough space to accomodate two bedside tables (so that one bedside table was partially in the door passageway.) That said, we did not find this to be a 'huge' problem, just a minor annoyance.

Friendly owner, fantastic location (smack bang in the centre of town and right next to the lively, student district), lovely, clean, bright apartment with all the amenities you need incl. fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, hairdryer...could not recommend this place more...you feel very independent (which i appreciate as a traveller) and immediately feel at home in the city :)
literally the only down side to this apartment were the twin beds as I went with my partner, however that is pretty easy to get round as we just pushed the beds together!

They got a baby crib for our daughter and recommended good places to eat. They were very amicable. I saw above somebody complaining about the net. We used Internet a lot during our stay and we had no troubles.
would have preferred a double bed instead of 2 twins

The location is excellent--so close to the vibrant student quarter, yet extremely quiet. The apartment had a lot of natural light, comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen. It was wonderful coming "home" each evening, as if we actually had our own flat in Bologna.
I was traveling with my husband and would have preferred a larger bed instead of 2 twins.

MONTREAL (Nov. 4)
Senator Cairine R. Wilson of Ottawa, in an address to a service club here today said that rigid immigration restrictions imposed by the Department of Immigration in dealing with refugees from war-torn Europe had meant a loss to Canada and meant hardships for these people.
The influx of emigrants from Europe prior to the last war, she said, helped Canada a great deal in her war effort. But due to the curtailment of immigration prior to this war to a "mere trickle" Canada does not today benefit from the industry and skill of these people. Of the emigrants that have come to Canada, She said, "they have become a tremendous value to their adopted land." She cited incidents of refugees from invaded countries bringing new industries to Canada and even diverting some of their facilities to the manufacture of tools of war.

Prototype 2 E3 Trailer
Posted June 3, 2011 by Megaton News in E3
Prototype 2 is coming, and it looks a whole lot like Prototype 1, except for the main character being dumped because some of the more vocal members of the games press didn't like him.
The first game was a pretty solid HD follow-up to The Incredible Hulk, though it got slagged for not having a more hipster vibe to it like Infamous, the only thing that was really lacking from the first were the number of set pieces that were so frequent in Hulk.
I look forward to running up buildings real fast with this new bald guy.

An insect that poses a serious threat to trees has made its way into our area.
On Friday the Ohio Department of Agriculture confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer in Muskingum County. Mark Ochs of Ochs Tree Service said the pest belongs to a group of metallic wood-boring beetles.
"It eventually kills the tree," said Ochs. "It invades it, weakens it, feeds off of it and lays eggs that feed off of it. The tree is not cured, so it gets overwhelmed."
Residents are being urged to use caution when transporting firewood to help protect against the artificial spread of the emerald ash borer. Ochs said he doesn't have to look hard to find the damage caused by these bugs.
"If I go past Granville and head west, it's obvious that they're everywhere," said Ochs. "I drive around and ask people if they want their dead trees removed. It's that obvious."
A federal quarantine for Ohio, enforced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, remains in effect. This quarantine makes it illegal to transport ash trees out of the state. For more information, visit www.agri.ohio.gov.

Directed by Irvin Kershner
Screenplay by John Carpenter and David Zelag Goodman
Whatever its other merits, a movie thriller cannot go anywhere without an exciting story. This may seem an obvious point, but somehow it is lost on Hollywood's more headstrong producers. Two years ago, Robert Evans unveiled Marathon Man, a showy production that hopped all over the world without ever arriving at a credible or coherent plot development. Not to be outdone, Producer Jon Peters has now brought forth Eyes of Laura Mars. Like Marathon Man, this film is long on trendy settings, high-priced actors and vicious murders,...
