text: It is pretty obvious that Enel is going to come back into the story at some point, probably a lot stronger then he was before. He probably won't show up in this arc, but I do think his return should soon. So because of this, and the fact that I have been rereading one piece, I think there are a lot of questions yet to be answered about this character that should be shown when he come back. For one, he is the only character in Skypea without wings, and instead has that drum thing on his back. Did he originally have wings and cut them off? Or did someone else cut them off when he was young? And speaking of him being young, Oda has never gone into any of Enel's back story, in fact he hasn't even drawn him as a child. From what I've seen Logia fruits are hard to get and often are obtained by either the government or powerful pirates. Enel's is said to be one of, if not the most, powerful of the logia, so him just finding it randomly seems suspicious. Also, if he is back on earth, has he run into people more powerful then himself? Even with his big ego Enel doesn't seem that stupid, so he probably will have to accept the government is more powerful then he is. And the final question, is he going to be working for himself or someone else? I think it would be an interesting twist to see someone being the Boss of Enel, probably be very funny too. I'm looking forward to his return, and hopefully some back story about him.


text: The Flintheart Glomgold wiki last edited by JohnPannozzi on 08/13/15 07:06AM View full history ORIGIN Arch enemiesFlintheart first appeared in the "The Second-richest Duck" (September, 1956). Scrooge, claiming the title of the "Richest Duck in the World" since at least the 1940s, learns through the press that there is another contender for the title. One owing his fortune to his diamond mines. The rival living in a valley around Limpopo river, South Africa. Or, as the story keeps mentioning, "In the Heart of Africa". He considers that an integral part of his identity is threatened and decides to meet Flintheart and compare their fortunes businessman-to-businessman. His nephews coming along to provide assistance if needed. Flintheart is introduced as a virtual doppelgänger to Scrooge. They look alike but dress differently. Their main facial difference is that Scrooge has sideburns while Flintheart has a full beard. They both store part of their wealth in giantic Money Bins. Scrooge's has the symbol of an American Dollar on while Flintheart's that of the British Pound. They act alike more than they care to admit as well. Not mentioned by the characters but made obvious by the writer is a big difference in their enviroment. Scrooge is surrounded by Duckburg, a metropolis booming with activity. He is the epicentre of a social network including his family, employees and several enemies. Flintheart lives as a hermit, far away from human habitation. His Money Bin is surrounded by a Savannah and animal life. He has no known family or confidants. The comparison of their fortunes takes place mostly off-panel but establishes that both control worldwide financial empires of seemingly equal worth. The only thing they have that has not been measured and accounted for are two balls of string, one each. In the belief that nothing should be wasted, they have been collecting lost strings into those balls for years. They decide to decine the winner of their contest on the length of the string. Meaning unravelling miles-long strands of string that would take them from Flintheart's front yard, deep into the African plains.They hike into the wilderness and the trail turns to have enough dangers and hardships to ensure that victory lies with the rival who protects his own ball of string and his own health while outwitting his opponent. The ruthlessness of the two rivals is established by two mock acts of kindness. An exausted Flintheart is offered a cup of coffee by Scrooge when both teams stop for the night. It was full of sleeping drugs to keep the South African out of action for hours. Before falling asleep, Flintheart found time to advise Scrooge to place his ball of string on the top of a small mound on the trail. To keep it safe from wild animals during the night. Scrooge soon finds out that the mound was a termite colony and that Flintheart had found time to place syrup over Scrooge's string. Resulting it the termites devouring part of the string. The following day the trail continues and Flintheart finds time to play mindgames with Scrooge. He offers good advise that Scrooge instantly ignores ... to his peril. However various animal encounters gradually reduce both string balls to tiny size. They decide to settle their contest with what was left of their string. They are again equal but unable to admit anyone as their equal. They placed decades-long effort into rising above rivals. Not to accept a rival as an equal. However Scrooge has a flash of inspiration. He places his hand in his pocket and retrieves his Number One Dime, the first coin he ever earned and his charm. Attached to the pocket by string, string which grants him victory. Flintheart faints and has to be carried home by the nephews of his rival. SUBSEQUENT APPEARANCESFlintheart returned for a rematch in "The Money Champ" (September, 1959). This time taking place in Duckburg. However the rules of the contest are different. Flintheart insists they have to liquidate their fortunes into cash and decide based on the area which they can cover with their coins. Scrooge agrees but soon finds out that he enters the contest with a disadvantage. His oil wells, gold mines, and diamond mines throughout the world have suffered acts of sabotage, reducing their worth right at the moment he needed to sell them. His enquiries reveal that Flintheart was behind a systematic campaign against him, using various aliases. Meanwhile two new mountains rise on Duckburg, consisting of piles of coins. As the moment of the contest arrives both rivals feel very insecure at their ability to win. Then a witch doctor offers them both a shrinking juice that could reduce the mountain built by their rival to a tiny ant hill. All he asks as a reward is a meager sum, "five gallons of dollars ". Scrooge is tempted but has a concience and decides against cheating his way to victory. Flintheart jumps at the opportunity and starts attempting to use the juice. Scrooge defends his mountain and no attack actually reaches it. Flintheart looses the contest, having " five gallons of dollars" less than Scrooge. His own insecurity at his ability to prevail in a direct confrontation being his downfall.Barks last used Flintheart in"So Far and No Safari" (January, 1966). The two rivals head for an auction in Africa, intending to acquire a supposedky exausted diamond mine. Actually both have scientific reports that the mine still has enough resources. Scrooge and Flintheart pilot their own private jets over the Kalahari Desert, the former accompanied by his nephews. When Flintheart spots his rival's airplane, he reveals that his own has some secrets. It is equiped with machine guns allowing to shoot down enemy plains and also built as a dive bomber, to finish off their crews while they are on the ground. A maneuver Flintheart proceeds to perform. The Ducks manage to escape by placing their clothes on formation of rocks which Glomgold blasts to oblivion. Hoping his enemies are dinner for the jackals. However some of the rocks damage the motor of his jet. He has to crashland not far from where Scrooge and his nephews have found refuge. Both rivals are stranded in the Kalahari. Huey, Louie and Dewey use their training with animal call whistles to convince several animals to transport them towards the right direction. Flintheart makes his way on foot. They meet each other at the nearest native village. There Scrooge secures the only jeep in the area for himself. Glomgold disguises himself as a witch-doctor and convinces the Ducks to give him a lift to the next village. He offers them some misinformation that leads them to interrupt a religious council in the next village. The Ducks are imprisoned and Flintheart drives away with their jeep. However they soon escape and both rivals arrive at the auction at the same time. The story ends with both rivals biding at the auction while the exausted nephews wait for them to finish.Barks never reused Flintheart but later writers did. His main weapons remain his intellect and his ability to disguise himself into various roles and fooling his opponents. Apparently the businessman has talent as an actor.

Long-Serving Hawaiian Sen. Daniel Inouye's Last Word: 'Aloha'
Hawaiian Sen. Daniel Inouye, a Democrat, has died of respiratory complications, according to his office. Sen. Inouye was 88 years old and a veteran of World War II. He had held his Senate seat since 1963; before that, he served in the House of Representatives, meaning he had represented Hawaii in Congress since it became a state in 1959.
Sen. Inouye was hospitalized last week, after complications from a lung surgery in the 1960s flared up. According to his staff, his final word was "Aloha."
Inouye was the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, and was also the President pro tempore, making him third in line for succession of the presidency, after Vice President Joe Biden and Speaker of the House John Boehner. Inouye's pro tempore title will now likely fall to Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont.
Inouye was also awarded the Medal of Honor by President Bill Clinton for heroism for his service in the Second World War. During a raid in Italy, Inouye single-handedly protected his platoon from German forces, losing his right arm in the process. Inouye tells the remarkable story in Ken Burns' much-lauded documentary The War.
According to the Washington Post's The Fix blog:
Inouye's seat will be filled by an appointment by Gov. Neil Abercrombie (D). He will pick from three finalists provided by the state Democratic Party. State law requires that Inouye must be replaced by a senator from the same political party. Inouye's seat is up for a full term in 2016.

DYSFUNCTIONAL GOVERNMENT. (Part 1.)
What was in the 18th century intended to be the invention of true democracy made up of states united in liberty has evolved into a dysfunctional unrepresentative body of strangely elected self-serving people most holding a high intensity social doctrine, seeking aggrandizement and justification of unfounded religious-like notions.
The general dysfunction is due primarily to the evolution of a major two-party system not mentioned in the constitution and not desired by its writers.
It was believed by many at the time that allegiance to party would supersede the need to represent the will of the people.
Today when the two parties are about evenly split, our election often produces a divided government and a divided sentiment among theses people to the extent that cooperation becomes a near impossibility.
Each party proclaims an almost socially religious doctrine and each party is actually moving in opposite direction. No agreement, no cooperation seems possible under these conditions.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
Playing on the road at the end of the season against a good Emery High volleyball team was a not a good combination for the hapless Granite Farmers last Tuesday at the Spartan Center. The host team quickly sent the Farmers back to the city in a three game set with scores of 25-5, 25-10 and 25-12.
The Spartans started out quickly as Haylie Hansen started the first game with six straight serves in getting the Spartans to a 5-0 lead. The lead was extended to 15-4, then to 20-5 before Camille Fehlberg finished off the game serving five straight points.
Emery so dominated that first game, the only points that Granite had were serves that Emery hit into the net. Emery went through the rotation one time and one time only in that game. The Spartans played at ease and with amazing accuracy in the win.
While games two and three were not the blowout of game one, the Spartans were a little less intense as they could by now feel the hopelessness of their opponent, they still played at a higher level and were actually quite fun to watch.
After the game Coach Ferd Allred was quite proud of his troops, "We were ready to play and the girls took the game right at them. I am proud of their efforts to raise their level of play."
I decided to keep track of individual statistics during the game to see how well they really help the team. Natalee Hanson and Rachel Rasmussen led the team in kills with six apiece with Camille Fehlberg and Ashley Hansen right behind with five apiece. Shaylie Huntington and Tahna Merrill each had two. The entire team did a good job of keeping the ball in play and getting it to where it needed to go.
The Spartans now travel to Utah Valley State College this week and play their first game Thursday afternoon against the Uintah Utes at 3:30 p.m. Uintah finished second in region 10 to Emery's third in Region 9. Uintah defeated Emery in the opening game of the season.
Emery will also play again Thursday at 7 p.m. Games at UVSC will take place in the main arena and also the activity center that is connected to the arena. State play concludes with the championship game Friday night at 8 p.m.
Coach Allred added this "If the girls go to the state meet with an attitude to win and if they will play together like they have been, they will do very well."

An Arizona sheriff has announced plans to deploy an armed volunteer posse to protect students in the wake of the Connecticut school shooting.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio tells KTVK-TV he has the authority to mobilize private citizens to fight crime.
He says he doesn't plan to put posse members inside Phoenix-area schools but will have them posted around the perimeters.
Arpaio is known as one of the nation's most high-profile supporters of strict U.S.-Mexico border policy.
His plan announced Thursday comes after two other Arizona officials announced ideas for school security. Attorney General Tom Horne proposed firearms training for one person in each school, and Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu proposed training multiple educators per school to carry guns.

Ospreys hooker Richard Hibbard will make his 100th league appearance for the region when they take on Munster in Swansea on Saturday.
Ospreys hooker Richard Hibbard will make his 100th league appearance for the region when they take on Munster at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.
Hibbard starts alongside Aaron Jarvis and Ryan Bevington while there is reward for Welsh back-row Ryan Jones following his try off the bench against Scarlets last week as he is in the XV.
That 23-16 win pleased backs coach Gruff Rees, who wants more from his team this weekend.
"We were delighted with the win last Friday but that's forgotten about now, we've had to put that one to bed and move on. There's still a lot of work to be done, it was a better performance against the Scarlets but there's still a lot of room for improvement needed," he said.
"We've said all along that these opening weeks of the season would see us looking at the wider squad, giving people a chance, and despite some disappointing results we believe it's been the right thing to do as we've learned a lot about the group moving forward.
"What you'll see from selection now though is a far more settled group starting to come together as we move into what is a crucial month of the season. We've got some big games coming up, starting this weekend, and we need big performances to match."
More to follow…
Form: Ospreys got off the mark with a first victory of the RaboDirect PRO12 season at Scarlets on Friday. The defending champions have lost their two games at Liberty Stadium so far this campaign but have never lost three successive home matches in the history of the tournament. Munster's only defeat this season was a narrow 19-20 at Ulster on 7 September. The Munstermen have won just one of their last four away games: 23-18 at Edinburgh on 1 September. Ospreys achieved a treble over Munster in the PRO12 last season having also met them in the Play-Offs, whilst the Irishmen's only win at Liberty Stadium since 2009 was 22-20 on 23 April 2011.
The teams:
Ospreys: 15 Richard Fussell, 14 Hanno Dirksen, 13 Andrew Bishop, 12 Ashley Beck, 11 Tom Isaacs, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i, 8 Joe Bearman, 7 Justin Tipuric, 6 Ryan Jones, 5 Ian Evans, 4 Alun Wyn Jones (capt), 3 Aaron Jarvis, 2 Richard Hibbard, 1 Ryan Bevington.
Replacements: 16 Scott Baldwin, 17 Duncan Jones, 18 Adam Jones, 19 Jonathan Thomas, 20 George Stowers, 21 Rhys Webb, 22 Matthew Morgan, 23 Ross Jones.
Munster: tbc
Date: Saturday, September 29
Kick-off: 18:30 BST
Venue: Liberty Stadium
Referee: Dudley Phillips (Italy)
Assistant referees: Rhys Thomas (Wales), Greg Morgan (Wales)
Television match official: Nigel Whitehouse (Wales)

We don't know whose house could carry the weight of all these slumming A-listers yesterday, but someone in Malibu through a shwag-party. How else could you get January Jones, Rob Lowe, Adrien Brody, Gwen Stefani, Robert Downey Jr., and Barbara Streisand (fer realz?) to all come over to your digs dressed in their finest schlumpy attire? Maybe it was a costume party, or a "Brad Pitt hiding from the paparazzi circa-2002″-themed dress-up party. You know, to honor the soldiers.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
So they say they wanna stay away from the trend of hitting the level cap and having nothing to do. So what do they do to compensate this? They do the same generic thing every other MMO does. Say there is RvR, large scale PvP, and new zones....
Well, Guild Wars 2 has that and I didn't like GW2. In fact, there isn't a single MMO I can think of that has been great in th past 5 years.
My prediction is that TESO will end up like Star Wars TOR.... A company who excelled at single player games tries to make an MMO and fails. It's gonna be the same thing with a new skin, this time ELDER SCROLLS SKIN!
I'm currently playing Asheron's Call 2. Made in 2002... The level cap is 150 but it will take you forever to get there because the game was DESIGNED AROUND ENDLESS ADVENTURE. AC2 is by far the best MMO concept right now. The game design is insanely well done. Maybe if Elder Scrolls looked into that same concept.
The problem with MMO's in the present time is this issue. The feel to be the same as everything else and it's almost like the dev's are delusional when they say "It will be different and next-gen." Because we have done about 300 linear quest lines already. Why do I want to do a linear quest line to a level cap? That isn't what an MMO is... But thats what they THINK an MMO is...... There is not a single company besides Turbine right now that makes good MMO's.
I actually like the traditional level cap, holy trinity, and tiered gear system. Blizzard has done a great job of perfecting it really. Release a game, support the level cap with new content every 4 to 6 months, and release a new expansion every 2 to 3 years. Rince and repeat.
I think a lot of this industry talk about things like F2P and level caps and getting rid of quest hubs and holy trinities and stuff, is all just attempts at trying to differentiate themselves from the mainstream guys. That's fine if they have alctual alternatives to offer, but what we're seeing is a bunch of half assed hybrid systems that get rid of certain things, but don't really replace them with anything else, ala GW2. It's a mess and not really working.
You make me like charity

I wish someone would remake ultima online and update it with todays technology. I would play that again.
There are several games I'd say that too. Ultima Online and Asheron's Call 1 both could use a revamp/reboot with todays graphics/mechanics. Heck, they have more in those 2 old mmorpg's than anything in today's themepark, crap, games they call mmorpg's today.
What happens when you log off your characters????.....

I love when people make these broad statements that make no sense except if you compare to WOW which was an enigma and was released at just the right time. GW2 is doing just fine. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean the hundreds of thousands enjoying it feel the same. It seems to be doing quite well to me in comparison to any other MMO out there.
There Is Always Hope!

This I did not know. Thank you. That changes things a little bit.
A few things;
It believe is IMPERATIVE that characters of any faction can go into other faction areas...
I would suggest (at this late stage) putting 'disguise kits' in the game which change a characters appearance just enough to let them travel elsewhere and do the quests and dungeons etc.
These would be one-shot items which take a head slot and give no stat bonsues etc. so it wouldn't be a first choice - but would give a variety of challenge.
Spying quests could give an opportunity to go as well - "Lord X's tomb has been discovered in the Al'Akir desert and we want YOU to loot it before the accursed enemy". Then you get 'smuggled' to it and can't stray too far before getting ambushed by gaurds - but hey - it would give access to other regions in a controlled and metaplot appropriate way.
It would be pretty easy to program too.
Guild Halls are a must-have, period. Player housing is not so important as long as the Guild Halls are large and extensive and give everyone a long period of building and customisation to get their teeth into.
These things should not be glossed over or ignored - they are important to longevity. and avoiding crashing into 'The Wall'.

Skip to comments.Jamie Foxx On SNL Jokes About Killing All the White People in New Movie (Blood Pressure Alert)
Posted on 12/09/2012 7:40:48 PM PST by llevrok
Singer/actor Jamie Foxx hosted Saturday Night Live this weekend, and his comments were racially-charged from the outset.
For those who dont recall, Foxx is the man who recently told us that we should honor our lord and savior Barack Obama.
Im dressed in all black, cause its good to be black. Black is the new white! Foxx began in his opening monologue.
The really curious comments came soon after:
I got a new movie coming out, Django, check it out Django Unchained, I play a slave. How black is that? In the movie, I have to wear chains. How whack is that? But dont be worried about it, because I get out [of] the chains, I save my wife, and I kill all the white people in the movie. How great is that? And how black is that?
Foxx then proceeded to discuss how Obama will comport himself over the next four years:
Hes [going] to be extra black these next four years; hes [going] to get everything black
white people dont get nervous about that because he is mixed. Now the first four years was the white side of him
but the next four years hes even changing his name to President Barack Dikembe Mutombo Tupac Mandela Hussein Obama X. How black is that?
(Excerpt) Read more at theblaze.com ...
How $#@'d is THAT?
I saw a preview of that movie. It looks like nothing but unending, brutal, hideous racial violence. I don't know what fool produced and directed it, but I suspect you're going to see some really ugly things happening as a result of it.
Pathetically sick person.....
Good luck making money on your movies with just black audiences, chump.
It's a Tarantino movie. The guy has the worst case of wannabe negritude ever seen. He thinks if he sucks up to blacks hard enough, they'll love him. In the event, they'll just kill him last.
You'll no doubt hear that with every theater riot or shooting that accompanies this movie.
Just blew away his CD "Ray" as target practice. It made a better target than anything he'll do. I agree, if any white person said it was fun blowing away black guys ....
What's even more scary are the idiots who were applauding and laughing like murdering a whole race of people is even remotely funny..its SICK
The problem is that this is part of an actual, decades old reality, of a vast number of racial attacks on whites, from beatings to rape and murder, in incredible numbers.
People know that it can be a death sentence to be caught in areas of major cities, where they are not allowed to be in, especially after dark.
I live close to the town Foxx is from.
They named a very, very short street after him. I was kind of curios why they picked such a short street for their one claim to fame.
Now, I guess I know.
Now you see how easy it was for a society to herd people to the ovens.
Knowing how things are now, I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen again..remember the saying, those who forget history are deemed to repeat it
People know that it can be a death sentence to be caught (without a .357 Magnum with at least 3 speedloaders) in areas of major cities, where they are not allowed to be in, especially after dark.
There. Fixed it;)
Rabid racism is just a laugh riot, yo.
This stupid m'fer should be aware blacks comprise just 12% of the total population in America. Anyway you look at it the odds are stacked way against black America.
He is right. This battle is already underway.
It will accelerate as Fed gov becomes more broke.
You ARE a slave, Jamie.
Eddie Murphy did "Kill the White People" thirty years ago, in one of the funniest SNL skits ever:
(Entire comment redacted.) Grrr...
Jamie, if it wasn't for white people you wouldn't even have a job.
Ok. Nothing about any of this, not reading it, just skimming on a /sunday eve.
don't get it. Two things, in addition to the obvious- that he produces sick as can be crap movies- an old aunt who grew up watching Vaudeville and the didn't miss a movie during the depression then the War, and since, who saw every Woody Allen, Clint Eastwood, Barbra Streisand film known to man, showed up at the local cinema, you know, the one she'd walked to with every husband since outliving the other two, for the past 62 years, to se "Pulp Fiction".
Ticket taker says, for the first time, "No, you do not want to see this movie". Of course she takes his advice (we
re talking years ago, when it was out).
The other- my sisters highly recommended "Reservoir Dogs" as they "knew I would like the characters". After many years, as I had a bad feeling about it, I saw it, as it was on my TV and I had nothing to do.
It was a waste of time, but it was so vacuous, senseless, pointless, gross, depressing, unredeeming and forgettable that I didn't even get back to my sisters, it would have been so embarassing (as they rightly esteem my views on such things, for reasons I'll explain later).
It was almost as wasteful as "Gone With the Wind". It's up there.
Can not understand the attraction to vacuous violence.
"but the next four years hes even changing his name to President Barack Dikembe Mutombo Tupac Mandela Hussein Obama X. How black is that?
.............lol. Weird&funny.
The bangers think they're tough from knocking over old women, meterosexual city dwellers, kids, and each other.
They are in for a well deserved awakening, albeit a short lived one...
You'll no doubt hear that with every theater riot or shooting that accompanies this movie.
The exact same people who went on a gun control tear after the Aurora shooter shot up the theater during the Dark Knight Rises will come out and defend this movie and deny any claims to violence.
The following is an image you that liberals despise since they are the constituency doing more for the cause of black genocide than any other group through Planned Parenthood and the funding of abortion clinics:
And yet, in spite of the efforts on their behalf by dedicated Christian Conservatives, blacks repudiate those who are helping them the most by voting 95% or more for the political party that seeks their extermination. As much of a percentage of blacks hating whites (as demonstrated by the crime stats), perhaps the problem is they hate their own people even more?
Quentin Tarantino ... so tons of gratituous violence.
In this case tons of gratituous racism too.
Read an article about it in Cowboys and Indians magazine. Supposed to be a remake of a 1966 spaghetti Western by an Italian director Sergio Corbucci
Prepare to be dazzled by the complete coolness of it all. /s
Here is a video where the Weathermen of Bill Ayers, who helped launch Obama's political career with a meet the candidate party in Ayers home, seriously discussed the ethics of murdering all the new born white babies.
I was interested in the movie, but now I'll do something else with my money. I might watch it when it airs on cable. I wouldn't even bother renting it. Maybe watch it when it streams on netflix.
I guess we can now call Jamie Foxx "Black Ku Klux Klan Racist"
That bears repeating folks.
Because what we are witnessing with the bashing of White's, Conservatives and Christians, while lifting up the fists of a radical minority - is EXACTLY how an entire population applauded and looked the other way while their neighbors were begin loaded on to boxcars for death camps.
History is repeating. You're living in the midst of it right now.
Ignoring this rhetoric, laughing at it as absurd, shrugging it off as just nonsense no one will take literally..... is exactly what Jews in Germany were saying in 1934.
By 1938 - they were on trains for camps and millions were on the block for extermination.. all to the willing support of an entire nation.
We're next folks, if they have their way.
I say about midnight the same day.
It isn't a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
Too bad this jackass can't move on.
I doubt this film will be any different, and yet, even after this guy's comment, watch the hordes of white people paying to go and see it.
I like it. Give them enough rope and they will hang themselves. Even the white liberal addicts will see them for what they are.
Good question: do theaters take EBT cards??
However, something tells me Jamie Foxx's "joke" is tinged with resentment, which tends to take away from any humor that might be found.
Just getting back to his Kenyan roots now he has nothing to fear by being honest for a change.............
I told him, "That's about the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I don't see any chains on you, or any other black person for that matter. But let me tell you something, if that day ever comes, I'll be down for the "cause" alright, my cause, and if anyone of you is dumb enough to get in my way, it will be you I'll be gunning for."
Homeslice and co. are all gonna learn a brutal lesson if they ever try. When all the black supremacist types run head long into a wall of lead...and guess what JF? there will be more than a few black people standing along side casper the unfriendly ghost. Pulling triggers of their own. Gonna look more like the Grimm Reaper from ya'lls end though.
And best of all? No black racists walking away from the exchange to scream 'house NXgger" at them. Thus the world becomes a better place.
See, we don't think of Black people that way. But you do.
Pretty funny.
Well said.
That was great! Thanks for the link.
I think you're probably right about that. Garrett Morris and Eddie Murphy probably couldn't do those bits in the racially charged atmosphere we have now. Which is a damn shame, because they were funny.
The man's really feeling his oats now that his "lord and savior" has been given a second chance to bring the country down.
Especially Garret Morris and the "News for the hard-of-hearing" segment on "SNL".
Ok, you can't just throw that out there and leave us hanging.
I gotta hear more......
What's the story, morning glory ?
One request: Start a new thread, give it an awesome title, beg responses, and PING ME !
Can't wait
Had to see the video. Of course people take things out of context as normal. He plays a slave and kills the white people in the movie who were holding him as a slave. I say good for him. Why should we be celebrating slave owners???? Good for Jamie Fox's character in the movie!!!!

"I saw this new pair of Roxy's on-line and I just had to have them. The new style, i.e., polka dots and stripes combined, is eye catching because it is so different. I have had several compliments already. The shoes are extremely comfortable and very stylish. I wish they came in other colors! I highly recommend them."

Suprisingly flawless!
"I bought these shoes on a whim, because I wasn't crazy about the pattern, but absolutely loved the comfort when walking around the store with them on. The insta-love continued when I bought them and actually wore them, endlessly, all over the place. It hit me that I was completely in love when I was wearing them with clothes that didn't even match. I really wish Roxy would make them in solid colors, because I'd buy a pair in every shade, so then I would only have to take them off to shower and sleep. I'm finicky about shoes and usually blister when breaking new ones in, but these, are PERFECT."

Runs VERY Big, But So Nice!
"I originally ordered these in 8.5 which is always my boot size. When I received them they were HUGE on me. They are very heavy, the sole and stacked heel have some major weight to them. Once I went a size down they were perfect. They take a little time to get used to walking in because they don't bend and are a little clunky. Great with leggings, skinny jeans and summer dresses! The brown color is beautiful and the quality is fabulous."

Man accused of breaking into grandparents' home to cook meth
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - An elderly Sullivan County couple can't stay in their own home after deputies say their grandson broke in while they were out of town and set up several meth labs inside.
Sullivan County Officers say Wesley O'Dell broke into his grandparents' Bluff City home and turned it into a place for making meth.
Friday night, the Littrells called 911 after pulling into their driveway and finding two cars in the driveway. "I just came back to my home, there's not supposed to be anybody there. There's two cars parked in front of my house. My house is open and it was locked when I left," says Donald Littrell to Sullivan County dispatchers.
When deputies got to the scene, they reportedly found the couple's grandson and four others cooking meth inside the home. Officers arrested them.
They say O'Dell admitted to allowing the group to cook meth at his grandparents' house, for a price. "He told vice detectives that he was given $100 by the others in exchange for allowing them to make meth inside the home," says Leslie Earhart with the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office.
All five are facing charges for burglary and manufacturing methamphetamine.
The Littrells didn't want to talk on camera, but say it could be a month before they can move back into their home because of the contamination.

Harris was nothing short of beastly after replacing injured Jonathan Vilma at weak inside linebacker in Week 8 last season. Harris roamed sideline to sideline and racked up tackles, averaging 11.3 stops per game in the last nine weeks. Defensive coordinator Bob Sutton also used him frequently as a pass rusher. With space clogging Kris Jenkins (6'4/390) now at nose tackle, Harris will be better shielded than he was behind 3-4 misfit Dewayne Robertson (6'1/317). Opponents will also have to key on new rush linebacker Vernon Gholston, who'll likely line up adjacent to Harris at ROLB. Harris is big (6'2/245), fast (4.53 at 2007 Combine), instinctive, and durable. With a full-time starting job, we expect him to supplant Patrick Willis as the NFL's leading tackler this season.

Kids. Not it!ReplyCancel
I will take this one!ReplyCancel
There is much dropping of fruit salad on carpet. By half-dressed boy children. I don't know what else happened, after the first shot of cut fruit being picked up off the carpet I spent the rest of the time looking to see if they had animals and trying not to throw up. Then they did it again! There was no fruit washing that I saw! I repeat, NO FRUIT WASHING! AHHHReplyCancel
It's okay Sugar. You know how much hair was probably on that fruit? Monsters.ReplyCancel
Basically what Sugar saidReplyCancel
Now, would you eat that fruit since the kids spent so much time making/dropping/rolling it in hair balls?
How far does a mother's love go???!!ReplyCancel
that's a lot of fruit and fruit isn't cheap. what a waste. so glad my cat would never do something like that.ReplyCancel
TTM, your hesitation is worrisome. Split decision:
Do you or do you not eat that floor fruit???
I would totally cheek it, Wigs. Then napkin. After a complete preflight hair check.ReplyCancel
I'd feed my husband the floor fruit first.ReplyCancel
I think they're gonna need a bigger bowl.ReplyCancel
'Yonce would take that floor and make a Hair Burger!ReplyCancel
Cue to Heisenberg's mama yelling to eat the goddamn fruit, because she was deprived of their tasty joys her whole life because of the fucking communists….
You know who else is laughing.
Couldn't resist. Watched a "Jaws" re-run last night.ReplyCancel
Thank God my dogs didn't bring me breakfast in bed (maybe they tried but they would have eaten it before leaving the kitchen). There is no such thing as dropping food on the floor in my house and trying to save it because I have FIVE dogs (a blended family) and either they eat it immediately or it would look unrecognizable from the hair that would immediately cover it.ReplyCancel
After the older kid dumps the fruit the first time, the younger boy is busily shoveling the pudding in his mouth. Pretty funny stuff!ReplyCancel
I didn't notice that before! The little sneak. Hilarious! Maybe he orchestrated the whole thing. Invisibly tripped big brother several times – Dad and camera focused on scattered fruit – little brother free to consume all pudding before ever reaching Mom. Who hopefully asked no questions upon receipt of dirty fruit and empty little bowl.ReplyCancel

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
Two years after leaving his assistant's position at Florida to take the head coaching job at Kentucky, John Cohen was in Omaha. As an observer.
Florida was in the 2005 College World Series. Kentucky's season had long been over, and so Cohen went to watch the players he'd once coached take part in the event every college baseball coach and player strives to reach.
As he shook hands with players he'd recruited and hugged their parents, it was a bittersweet moment for Cohen. He had one thought: Should I have left Florida?
"That was tough for me," Cohen said Monday. "I know that's selfish, but you want to be in Omaha. That's the epicenter of college baseball."
Now, Cohen gets to go to Omaha with his own team. Mississippi State swept Virginia in the Charlottesville Super Regional, earning the school's ninth CWS berth.
The Bulldogs play at 2 p.m. Saturday versus Oregon State.
Cohen eventually won at Kentucky, earning an SEC title in 2006, but never got the Wildcats to the biggest stage. When he came to MSU after the 2008 season, he took over a program that had made Omaha in 2007 but had fallen off a cliff the next season and was lacking in talent.
dream big
Omaha seemed far away then, but Cohen said he didn't doubt the Bulldogs would return soon.
But he knew tradition alone wouldn't get it done. He said the more important factor was the people he brought in – his assistant coaches and the players. He has raved constantly about the character of his players, which he credits to their families.
"I don't care what any coach says, that's it, and these are the right kids, and we felt that way," Cohen said.
He raved about their discipline on and off the field, including their classwork. The Bulldogs posted a 3.30 GPA this past academic year.
The pieces he has in place is why Cohen hasn't been shy about voicing his goals for this team. The ultimate goal, of course, is a national championship.
His wife, Nelle, often chastises him for saying it out loud.
"I say, 'Nelle, we're in the SEC. All 14 coaches talk about winning a national championship,'" Cohen said.
Now that he's taken MSU to Omaha, that goal is within reach. He'll be there with his team this time, between the lines, right where he wants to be.

On Monday, June 17, construction will begin on the second portion of a sewer infrastructure enhancement project near Blair Stone Road and Orange Avenue. This portion of the work will impact southbound traffic on Blair Stone Road between Orange and New Village avenues. To decrease traffic impacts and reduce the construction period, work is being split into two phases.
The first phase will take place on Blair Stone Road between Orange Avenue and Paul Russell Road. Beginning at 9 a.m. on June 17, southbound traffic will be detoured at Orange Avenue east to Capital Circle. Traffic turning off of Paul Russell Road to head south on Blair Stone Road will not be impacted. This traffic pattern is anticipated to last for approximately 45 days.
Following completion of this work, construction will shift to phase two between Paul Russell Road and New Village Avenue, near the side entrance to the Southwood Village shopping center. During this phase, southbound traffic will be permitted up to Paul Russell Road. Orange Avenue will continue to be used as a detour. Access to the Southwood Village shopping center and other area businesses will not be obstructed.
Northbound traffic on Blair Stone Road will not be impacted during either phase.
The entire project is expected to be completed by mid-September. During construction, the City's Traffic Management Division will monitor the signal timing along the entire detour route. This will help keep traffic flowing effectively in the area.
The first portion of this project took place along Orange Avenue between Jim Lee Road and Blair Stone Road. The project's overall purpose is to provide sewer service to properties along Orange Avenue and Blair Stone Road and improve the City's ability to manage the sanitary sewer system during service interruptions along Capital Circle.
Motorists are reminded to reduce their speed through construction zones. This creates a safer environment for everyone.

Skip to comments.More Navy leaders relieved of duty after rowdy port visit
Posted on 11/09/2012 9:25:37 AM PST by RitchieAprile
Drunken behavior during a port visit has led to the dismissal of another Navy commander and three other top officers, days after the leader of the USS Stennis carrier group was sent back to Bremerton.
The Navy hasn't said much about why they've removed Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette from his command October 27. They are conducting an internal investigation involving his judgment.
The Navy is offering more explanation about the commander of the USS Vandegrift, which is a frigate based in San Diego that was built at the Todd Shipyards. This frigate was not with the Stennis carrier group.
Vandegrift Commander Joseph Darlak was relieved of duty one week ago due to "a loss of confidence after displaying poor leadership and failure to ensure the conduct of his officers" while visiting the Russian port of Vladivostok in September.
Translation, according to San Diego media reports - Darlak was part of a "rowdy, booze-fueled port visit."
The ship's executive officer, Commander Ivan Jimenez, was also removed from the ship along with the operations officer and chief engineer, "for personal conduct and use of alcohol."
A Navy release stated, "Inappropriate behavior and judgment in positions of authority are unacceptable."
That phrase "inappropriate judgment" was used to describe the Stennis Rear Admiral also.
A military analyst I talked with a week ago said the Navy is on track to fire a record number of commanders this year for bad behavior.
"The Navy this year has had a spike in firings of these kinds of officers. They've fired over a dozen so far with problems related to offenses about sexual misconduct, alcohol, or some other kind of personal misconduct," says Lyons.
Now 14 commanders have been relieved of duty, which essentially ends their careers.
By LINDA THOMAS
You mean to tell me there's drinking in the Navy?? I'm shocked.
Finally, the open rule of Gays and an end to don't ask don't tell has been successful to altering the command stucture of the Navy and the quality of US swabbies/S
Its finally happened.
Zero tolerance...I would have most definitely been sent home today for some of my shenanigans as young Sailor (squid) on liberty. But I had a damn good time and no one got in trouble, my how times have changed.
I read somewhere that that Rear Admiral mentioned, was relieved of duty because he was going to send either a rescue team to Bengazi or a fighter plane strike force.
If that's true then maybe the ship he was on got rowdy in their first port of call because of being upset at being prevented at trying to save our ambassador.
If I got stuck with Commander and Chief for 4 more years, I'd drink myself stoopid.
And their school - USNA - has been the source of some pretty raunchy stories in recent years. These guys probably think they are just carrying on the tradition. Bring on those female midshipmen - whoopee!!!
Obama wants to purge the military leadership, it's basically Stalin 1938 without the executions.
Rum and the lash are no longer authorized. In their place, the practice of sodomy will be increased by 66%.
After this week I feel like going on a permanent binge. I'd probably be able to get SS disability for alchoholism amd then food stamps and medicaide so why bother working? Sheesh...now I really do need a drink!
He's probably got boy toys lined up to take their places.
I've got a friend who was on a Tin Can in the mid 70's.
The tales he tells of his port calls would curl the hair of these modern day sailors.
More examples of men who have been promoted to senior leadership who never would have been back in the day. But when you have an administration who doesn't know or care anything about military tradition or standards of performance, the wrong people can get promoted.
"......OH Rip the shirt. How cliche.........."
I suspect that's one thing in play here.
My grandfather lied about his young age to get enlisted in the Navy at the start of WWII. He served at sea for 20 years. That great man and the 'real' men of their time, would be rolling over in their graves if the could see what has happened to their Navy......... and the country they served.
This makes me think orders from the top are to downsize from top to bottom, and start by cherry picking disciplinary incidents to pare down:
"A military analyst I talked with a week ago said the Navy is on track to fire a record number of commanders this year for bad behavior."
LOL!!! "... I suppose you're going to have me walk the plank next..."
"Failure to control officers" seems like the key phrase here. Even in 2012, I don't think the Navy expects enlisted sailors to be epitomes of clean living on shore leave ... but if LTs and LTjgs were getting into trouble and were being delivered quayside by local cops after a hard night on the town, that's a pretty hard problem for their commanders to explain.
From yesterdays when we yet thought we were winning....
Brian was a great guy.
Hardly - Nimitz ran a ship aground and was reprimanded but it didn't end his career the way it would today. Numerous others in leadership from the past including my own personal witness were party to rabble rousing, skirt chasing, heavy drinking, and plenty of pranks - all of which would cost careers today independent of rank - but they could fight a war. Halsey was known for his skirt chasing and drinking but he knew how to fight. So the standard has changed from the past as to what is acceptable before a career is killed .... the real question is what impact does killing those careers have on the fighting capability of the fleet. Not that there will be much of a fleet anyway once Obama is done...maybe that's it they're just gettin an early start on the RIF.
This is what happens when you try to go drink for drink with the Russians.
This is what happens when you try to go drink for drink with the Russians.
Curious that higher standards of deportment were not insisted upon given the port call was in Russia. It would seem to me that keeping a higher lever of awareness and alert would be especially important in the port of a rival power.
How many of the sailors have clearances, and how vulnerable is
what they know subject to disclosure under the influence of vodka and/or babes?
Never noticed any drinking during my two years of reserve active duty. Certainly no rowdy behavior in foreign ports.
roger - I stand corrected
Actually I have known many academy grads over the years, now retired, all of whom were the finest of men in every way.
Doug was an exceptional man. I have met his Father on several occasions here in New Mexico.
The guys that were shot down going to get Marcus Lutrell and his team were led by a SEAL Lieutenant Commander. He was that high school kid I had met when I was a Mid. Despite seeing pictures or him all grown up, I will always think of him as that kid.
This war is a just one, but we are constantly losing people because we won't fight to win. We don't have to lower ourselves to the level of the savages we are fighting. We have need to remember that it is better to be respected than to be liked by the people in those countries.

Its natural baitfish profile attracts predator fish of all kinds - in both fresh and saltwater, and also allows it to glide and swoop through the water. Always a great choice when bass are chasing schooling baitfish, the Zoom Fluke can be rigged a variety of ways - weightless, on a weighted hook, double-rigged, etc. Available in several proven colors, each Zoom Fluke is also salt-impregnated to hold even the most tentative bite.

Comments: This bait in baby bass is a top producer for me, I have had luck with it drop shot, on a offset 1/16 oz swimbait hook, and trolled on a slow death hook. So far I have caught six species on it. LMB, SMB, Rainbow trout, Walleye, Yellow perch and Northern pikeminnow.
From: Dan: Seattle, WA 10/7/14
Comments: go to drop shot bait. Also great on the fly line barley hooked in the nose for shore fishing just tap your rod fast and watch it dance
From: Chad: Rancho, CA 9/17/14
Comments: Great drop shot bait pre spawn. A friend and i caught 20 small mouth the other day on this.
From: Jonathan: Cripple Creek, VA 4/10/14
Comments: These have way better drop shot action than the super fluke. Cant go wrong with the baby bass color!
From: Normz: OC, CA
Comments: I love this bait. I fish all over Ohio and it is my go to bait. The baby bass on an off set hook works perfect for me. It catches dinks and those stubborn six pounders. and for the price you really can't beat it. buy in bulk you won't regret it
From: Derrick
Comments: Great for drop shot and also i have tested these by using them on a shaky head and the results are great!!!
Comments: Drop shot these in albino for Halibut in the SoCal surf. Nothing swims better than these or gets more hookups. Other "realistic" baits look like cartoons in the water it these look like baitfish. Can't beat the price
From: Nick: Los Angeles, CA
Comments: Just used THE Zoom the fluke (albino ) for wacky rigging with a owner wacky hook ( camo green) ,size was 1 and just hook this fluke in the middle . I seen one bass just looking at it pick it up and spit it out so I bought the Kvd fishi stick in shad the other day and cover them fluke with it on both sides of the fluke. I got 3 nice size largemouth and 1 small one that got off but still caught some . I believe this bet does bring in good sizes but will buy another color maybe baby bass to see if the bass hit this fluke once again , the pack of fluke I was using were old so most of the scent was not on there so this is why I used Kvd fish stick .
From: Erik: IL
Comments: This bait is awesome! I've caught so many fish on this bait rigged weightless.

Hill climbing is part of cycling. Some people love it, some people hate it, but everyone needs to ride uphill at some point.
Whether you like to crush the ascents, or just push through them in order to zip along the downhill and flats, your overall ride will be more enjoyable if you work on your technique and train your muscles for the climbs.
These cycling workouts, from triathlon coach Kirsty Marritt, will help you tackle hilly terrain.
Marritt has been racing triathlon since 1994. She's completed 10 Ironmans, The Leadville Trail 100, several 24-hour mountain biking events, and innumerable half-Ironmans and marathons.
She's studied endurance training theory for years and is currently coaching five Ironman competitors to achieve their training goals. Even if you're not training for an Ironman, you'll find these workouts can dramatically improve your hill climbing.
More: 7 Tips for Climbing to the Top
Long Hills
For long hill workouts, Marritt likes sending her athletes to a hill that will take two hours to climb, with a nice 30-minute warm-up ride to the base.
Climb for 15 minutes in your saddle, then shift down two gears (harder) and pedal for five minutes while standing. Repeat this pattern, which should total close to six rotations in two hours.

Judging by the extremely positive response to our first three releases by Oscar McLollie, Hadda Brooks and Gene Phillips, most of you like the Ace "10 Inch CD" series. Good for you, and good for us, 'cos that means we can carry on using it to bring you even more great music by artists who don't otherwise have enough material to make up a "full sized 12 inch" equivalent.
So far the CDs have drawn their repertoire exclusively from Modern Records and its subsidiaries. However, the series was never meant to be exclusively for Modern, and we'll certainly be using it to showcase additional repertoire drawn from other Ace-owned catalogues such as Combo, Sensation and the John Dolphin group of labels. Indeed, it's from Sensation's stockpile of masters that this month's big 10 incher is drawn, as we bring you a rather splendid dozen and a half tracks by a man whose musical career spanned five decades - and embraced vaudeville, swing, bobbysoxers, be-bop, R&B and rock'n'roll - but whose entire recorded output amounts to not even three dozen tracks, including alternate takes!
As "Great Unknowns" go, Arnold "Doc" Wiley is both - great and (relatively) unknown. Indeed - until fairly recently, almost nothing at all was known about his personal life. Intrepid bluesologist Paul Swinton tracked down Wiley's niece Irene not so long ago, and it's thanks to Paul (who provided the notes) and Irene (who provided the only known photographs of her late uncle) that we are able to present this CD with an attractive booklet rather than a blank square of card! A much in-demand accompanist and a much-travelled musician, Wiley pitched up in Detroit for a while in the late 1940s and it was there that Sensation Records' prexy Bernard Besman recorded sixteen sides and some very acceptable alternate takes on the good Doctor and his medicinal - sorry, musical - accompanists.
Only four of the tracks were released contemporaneously, leaving the other twelve to languish in acetate obscurity for the ensuing 45 years. When you hear them, you will be hard-pressed to understand why, as the Wiley trio was as engaging an outfit as any of its more popular contemporaries, and the Doctor himself was both a capable piano man and an engaging singer with a style pitched somewhere between those of Amos Milburn and Fats Waller. Happily they need languish no longer, as they have now become part of our ongoing Sensation reissue programme and are presented here in this terrific three quarters of an hour's worth of consummate cocktail R&B and boogie.
The instrumentals are truly groovy, while Wiley reveals himself to be a big fan of Joe Turner, Lonnie Johnson and Leroy Carr (as well as Fats W) on the vocal cuts, which range from Tin Pan Alley hits to acknowledged blues classics. etrack readers can believe me when I say that this will be as big a treat for most of you as it was for me when I first auditioned the repertoire for reissue. Here's a Doctor's prescription that can and should be taken anytime you're feeling a bit low - it may not make you well, but it'll certainly make you Feelgood!"

Solar System Montage
Image courtesy NASA
This montage of Voyager spacecraft pictures shows the eight planets, plus four of Jupiter's moons, sprawled against the backdrop of the Rosette Nebula and on the horizon of Earth's moon. In addition to the planets and moons seen in this simulated photo, our solar system contains a star, asteroids and comets, and dwarf planets such as Pluto.
Planet Mars
Photograph courtesy NASA/Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)
Though one of our nearest neighbors, Mars is still 43 million miles (69 million kilometers) from Earth, illustrating the nearly incomprehensible vastness of our solar system. Scientists are working to unravel the mystery of Mars's climate—evidence of water on the red planet will hold clues about life on Mars, as well as the potential for life elsewhere in the universe.
Aurora on Saturn
Photograph courtesy NASA, ESA, J. Clarke (Boston University), and Z. Levay (STScI)
Streams of charged particles blasted from the sun collide with Saturn's magnetic field, creating an aurora on the planet's south pole. Unlike Earth's relatively short-lived auroras, Saturn's can last for days. Scientists combined ultraviolet images of the auroras, taken by Hubble over a period of days, with visible-light images of the ringed planet. In this view the aurora appears blue because of the ultraviolet camera, but a Saturn-based observer would see red light flashes.
Pluto Moons
Photograph courtesy NASA/ESA/H. Weaver (JHU/APL)/A. Stern (SwRI)/HST Pluto Companion Search Team
Once classified as a true planet, icy Pluto is now considered one of the more than 40 dwarf planets in our solar system. Seen here with its three known moons, Charon, Nix, and Hydra, Pluto is a member of a group of objects that orbit in a disklike zone beyond the orbit of Neptune called the Kuiper belt.
Planet Jupiter
Photograph courtesy NASA/ESA/Hubble Heritage Team (AURA/STScI)
Named after the king of the Roman gods, Jupiter is the giant of our solar system. Its stripes are dark belts and light zones created by strong east-west winds in the planet's upper atmosphere. Within these areas are huge storm systems that have raged for years. The Great Red Spot, one such giant spinning storm, has existed for at least three centuries.
Total Solar Eclipse
Photograph by Nat'l Optical Astronomy Observatories
The sun's outermost region, called the corona, shines like a halo around the moon during a total solar eclipse. Such eclipses occur when a new moon passes in front of the sun. They don't happen often—only about once a year—since the tilted orbits of the sun, moon, and Earth make their alignment rare. Total solar eclipses are of special interest to astronomers because it is the only time the sun's corona can be seen from the Earth's surface.
Planetary Lineup
Image courtesy NASA/JPL
This montage of photos, taken by various NASA spacecraft, shows the order of planets in the solar system. Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, is at the top, followed by Venus, Earth (with its moon), Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Queen, Adam Lambert plot North American invasion
Adam Lambert and Queen will take to the road this summer for an arena tour that canvases both the U.S. and Canada.
The runner-up of the 8th season of "American Idol" will again join forces with the remaining members of the iconic rock outfit—drummer Roger Taylor and guitarist Brian May—beginning with a June 19 performance in Chicago and continuing through a July 28 show in Toronto. In all, 23 major markets have been confirmed, including a July 3 show at The Forum in Los Angeles and a July 17 concert at New York City's Madison Square Garden.
Lambert has performed several times with Queen, including a series of European shows in 2012 and a headlining gig last September at Las Vegas' iHeartRadio Festival.
May acknowledged that Lambert will not be channeling the late frontman Freddie Mercury, but adding his own twist to the classic tunes.
"One of the great things about Adam is he is never an imitator," May told Hollywood Reporter. "He finds his way with the songs. That is what we want. We want our music to be alive and dangerous and still open to change. Every time we work with Adam, we do that."
Lambert most recently released "Trespassing," his sophomore studio set. The 2012 collection, which topped The Billboard 200, will be followed by a third album which Lambert's currently recording in Sweden. No word yet on when that effort will hit retailers.

IIE administers the Global EducationUSA Services program, through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), to support the global EducationUSA network through employing regional educational advising coordinators, managing EducationUSA Training Institutes, and promoting U.S. higher education.
Regional Educational Advising Coordinators (REACs) lead the EducationUSA network of advising centers in their world region to foster international student mobility, guide and train EducationUSA advisers, and advance ECA's public diplomacy efforts. REACs collaborate with U.S. embassies and consulates to advance student mobility and EducationUSA advising programs.
REACs* are based in 14 locations in Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe and Eurasia, East Asia and the Pacific, North Africa and the Middle East, South and Central Asia, and the Western Hemisphere. For more information, visit EducationUSA.
* Login access to the EducationUSA higher education site is required to view REAC pages. Logins are free of charge to faculty/staff at accredited U.S. colleges and universities, and staff at recognized national professional associations, and can be requested here.
EducationUSA Training Institutes are intensive professional development programs that provide advisers with the knowledge and skills to enhance their effectiveness in advising international students on U.S. higher education. Training Institutes are comprised of one week in Washington, D.C. followed by a second week for campus-based training. The Training Institutes are organized at various times throughout the year. Accredited institutions are invited to submit proposals to host the on-campus component of the program. Information on the RFP process and hosting advisers is available here.
IIE advances ECA's commitment to promote the United States as the destination of choice by showcasing the quality of U.S. higher education and the welcoming environments for international students on U.S. college campuses. IIE develops new and enhanced marketing materials and interactive promotional platforms to equip advisers with modern tools and training to reach prospective students, parents and education administrators within their local community.
IIE increases collaboration with the U.S. higher education community to further international student mobility by raising awareness of EducationUSA as the most reliable and trustworthy network of advising professionals for recruiting, admitting, and retaining qualified international students from diverse backgrounds and locations.

You may recall our recent discussion of the Doctor Who Reprint Society, an Internet group working to get more of the best classic Doctor Who novels back on store shelves. We recently spoke with DWRS founder Alasdair Shaw, who told us all about the society, his favourite Who novels, and how you can help the world live or relive the golden years of Doctor Who reading.
We began by simply asking Al to tell us what the DWRS is all about:
"The Doctor Who Reprint Society is here to provide a voice for all the Whovians that want to see the novels made available again. There's a generation of fans now who just weren't aware of Who when the books were being published as well as a collection of Who fans who only knew of the TV series and didn't discover the books until it was too late to collect them easily. I fall into the latter group myself. I became aware of the Eighth Doctor books in 1997 when I came across a copy of The Eight Doctors in a second hand bookshop. I loved it. It was very obviously a continuation of events from The TV Movie, yet as I read the last few pages it became something else as well. As the Eighth Doctor met the Seventh it became apparent to me that the books that I'd glanced over in other bookshops were more than mere novelizations of episodes I didn't recognise, they were episodes themselves. Being the continuity obsessive that I am I felt I couldn't continue with the Eighth Doctor's adventures until I had found all of the Seventh's.
"If I could have my own shot in a TARDIS I would go back and tell myself to grab any and each book I saw. But I don't, so I formed the DWRS instead."
As it turns out, the idea to do just that – form the DWRS – has roots not just in the classic era of the show, but also in Season 30 with David Tennant.
"The seed for the DWRS was planted when I saw Silence in the Library for the first time. I found myself nodding to the Doctor's point about the printed word. And when we were introduced to the concept of the Library having a brand new copy of every book my first thought was 'They've got a copy of Lungbarrow in there!' In fact I like to think it was a reprint of Lungbarrow that the Doctor told Donna not to read for fear of spoilers…
"The DWRS started properly however when I got involved in a thread on Gallifrey Base about how people got hold of the books. The two methods suggested were paying silly money for the books on eBay or obtaining PDF scans of the books. A friend of mine had some of the PDF copies. I tried to read them, but they were far from ideal. The formatting was off on occasion and typos cropped up from OCR software glitches.
"When the idea of letting the BBC know we wanted these books came up the general feeling was that the BBC wouldn't listen to individual fans. It was at that point I formed the DWRS to be the voice of those fans that want reprints. We number over 100 now and are still growing."
Of course, when you have a group with 100+ members, you'll have to have leaders. Aside from Alasdair, there are two other members who play a significant role in the Reprint Society's day-to-day activities.
"The DWRS is made up of myself, Jesse Lax and Greig Byrne.
"Jesse is the Creative Director of Kwaai Games and showcases his own art through AHiL [AllHopeisLost] Designs. I came across him while I was seeking help putting a logo together for the site on Gallifrey Base. He kindly offered to put a logo together for me, and while we were discussing design options we started talking about the DWRS and other things and when the logo was finished Jesse decided he'd like to stay on and help me design a look for the site. Such is the quality of Jesse's work that I was delighted that he wanted to stay on and help.
"Greig and I met through our wives and have struck up a friendship all of our own. Apart from working on setting up the new web site Greig's experience as a writer for TheAppleGoogle and as a sports writer for the Herald (formerly known as the Glasgow Herald, a popular Scottish newspaper) is being put to good use as our resident reviewer. Greig's point of view is especially useful as he's had no experience of the books at all and only dabbled in classic Who until the new series brought Who back into fashion. He brings a fresh, non-biased view to the book reviews, as well as his own brand of humour."
"I couldn't tell you exactly which book I read first as I devoured my first five in quick succession."
The three of them – Jesse, Greig, and Al – seem to share a progressive vision for the DWRS that will make sure the website never stands still.
"We have quite a few developments in mind for the DWRS. When I first started the site I was a lone voice crying in the wilderness, but not unlike a certain Time Lord I seem to have acquired companions and a following. As the team and membership has grown we've been discussing ways of expanding the DWRS site. Greig has started to review Time Wyrm: Genesys and plans to keep reviewing other Who books, Jesse is a perfectionist who can't help but work to make the site look professional. Between them they're currently working to move us from our current server to our very own one. The new site will have a few improvements over the current one including a brand new, more user friendly, forum and regular interviews. For my own part I'll be starting to track down authors to find out their opinions on reprints and attempt to find out who owns the rights to their books. As for other media, we're going to stay focused on the printed word.
"Ultimately the DWRS exists to get the most sought-after volumes back into the hands of fans. Of course if that happens then we'd have to shut up shop and move onto the next project. Which would be arranging reprints of the Target books."

Class of 2013 heavy on '70s rockers
Inductees for the 2013 Songwriters Hall of Fame will include hard-rock hitmakers from the '70s and '80s, among them the driving duo behind one of the era's most enduring bands.
That would be Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, the most instantly recognizable names of those announced to be honored at this year's ceremony. They'll be joined by another team from a popular '70s group, Foreigner's Mick Jones and Lou Gramm, as well as J.D. Souther, who worked with the Eagles on hits such as Heartache Tonight and New Kid In Town, and collaborated with Linda Ronstadt. An actor as well, Souther is currently appears on TV's Nashville.
The class of '13 will also include Holly Knight, who crafted hits for Pat Benatar, Tina Turner and Patty Smyth in the '80s, and Tony Hatch, whose career dates back to the '50s, and who in the following decade wrote and produced hits for Petula Clark, including the classic Downtown.
The induction ceremony is set to take place June 13 in New York City.
