You wanna know why Atmosphere/Rhymesayers sucks so much?
They rap over flat tracks that have no hook or dynamics. Unfortunately Das racist is entering this pattern. So of this sounds like Eminem programmed the beat tracks it is so snoozy. The textures of the first are in the back seat on this one, it takes a few listens to really find a comfortable ground. I am not looking for another Taco Bell, I want another Broooown. If Diplo and them can get together for the next one it would be the club cd of the decade. |

Gotta disgree with the previous posters. I thought the production on this mixtape was dope and I didn't find it flat at all. Sure, most of these songs don't have super-catchy hooks, but the rapping is solid/entertaining, the jokes are funny, and the production is great. Besides, it's a mixtape. Good hooks or not, they put it down. I like it.
But I also like Rhymesayers, so maybe it's a style thing. |

I'm loving this album. Went to the release party at Santos, show was sloppy but good times and the record is better than most of the dooky out there. Why is every hip hop fan a super skeptic? How do you expect anyone to get any good when you slam them down on the hard concrete? Have you ever heard of community, support? Hello, if you love hip hop and someone is attempting it in a decent way, give love yo. Or shut the eff up and do it yourself.

hahahaha jk? is an anthem, cementing the deconstructionist style of das racist. The pizza hut/taco bell recording was only a preview of what they could really do. With "Sit down, Man" they provide an album with a different frame of reference from the standard hip-hop point of view (and with ease). They play with the standard hip-hop archetypes, from eminem to tribe. This group is able to blend 4chan culture, early 90's' rap, with a nod to the difficulties of race in modern American society.

I really liked "Shut Up, Dude" - it had significant 'misses' but I thought it had character and personality.
Sit Down, Man sounds over-produced to me. There's so much 'board-work' that in some cases the rap gets lost in the mix. All the fun and charm of the first mix seems lost here as various producers and guests try to get their own in. |

On Monday, March 28th, Hoboken will celebrate its 150th Anniversary, as an incorporated city. The history of Hoboken goes back long before 1855. Let's go back and 396 years ago to 1609, when Henry Hudson's first mate Robert Juet wrote in the log book of the Half Moon as the ship was anchored off present day Hoboken (this is) "a very gook piece of ground." I'm sure we would all agree with first mate Juet's observation!
Hoboken has gone from Bayard's Farm, to the estate of John Stevens. The "father of modern Hoboken" under Stevens' family ownership, the once pristine Elysian Fields with its shade trees and river walk, would become one of most important seaports in the nation. From the port of Hoboken almost two million Doughboys would leave American soil to fight a war in Europe.
In the last half of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century Hoboken was a major industrial center; among the products manufactured in Hoboken were coffee, tea, puddings, leather products, soap and many more than I can name here. Hoboken has been home to many celebrities, of which more will be written about in the coming months.
Hoboken has certainly had its "ups and downs", however, Hoboken is on an up swing. I'm sure the future of Hoboken will be as bright, as Hoboken's History is great!

A 28-year-old man has been arrested for the murder of an intellectually disabled Upper Hutt woman.
Mary Donnelly was killed in her Ebdentown Street home last month.
Police last night arrested an Upper Hutt man after three weeks of investigating the 38-year-old's death.
Detective Senior Sergeant Dave Thornton says Miss Donnelly was a well known Upper Hutt woman and a team of more than 20 investigators have been working on the case.
He says police are still working to establish all the facts surrounding Miss Donnelly's death and are focusing on the movements of a man seen at her flat on the day before her death.
Her alleged killer will appear in the Upper Hutt District Court this morning.

Frequently Asked Questions - Room Draw
Q: What is Room Draw?
A: Room Draw is the process that returning Carleton students use to choose the room they will live in for the following academic year.
Q: When and where is Room Draw?
A: Room Draw normally occurs during second week of May for three days in Severance Great Hall. Rising Seniors draw rooms on the first day. Rising Juniors draw rooms on the second day. Rising Sophomores draw rooms on the third day. See the Room Draw Calendar for this year's dates.
Q: What do I need to know to draw a room?
A: Several things are important to know when drawing a room:
- what night you select your room,
- what your lottery number is and how to use it,
- who your roommate(s) will be and which of you has the best lottery number,
- which rooms are available for draw,
- which specific rooms (five or six possibilities) you are interested in selecting--check the current day's listing online before you go to Room Draw, and
- an alternate housing plan if the room you wanted is not available when you get to draw.
Q: What do I do if I'm going to be off-campus during Room Draw or unable to attend because of a conflict?
A: Designate a proxy to choose a room and/or roommate(s) on your behalf by completing the Housing Information Request form.
Q: How are Housing Lottery numbers assigned?
A: The Room Draw number is a four digit number with the first digit being the class year of the student (Senior=1, Junior=2 and Sophomore=3). Each student within a class year is then assigned a random three digit number (from 001 to 550). The lower your number is, the better since we allow students to choose rooms in numerical order within their class. Lottery numbers are assigned through a random computer generated program to ensure unbiased assignment of numbers. For more info, see the Room Draw Policy.
Q: How are housing lottery numbers assigned for return from off-campus (winter term and spring)?
A: Your lottery number is what you use whether you participate in Room Draw in May or use the number when you return from an Off-Campus Studies Program or a term off.
Q: How do I know if there will be a quint (or any style room) available when it's my turn to draw?
A: Available rooms will be posted to this website prior to Room Draw and will be updated during the Room Draw process. Lists of available rooms (sorted by male, female, and co-ed and style: quint, quad, triple, double, single) will be distributed at Room Draw. Overheads at Room Draw will be updated as rooms are chosen and an announcer will inform the audience.
Q: How do I find/get a roommate(s)?
A: We encourage you to speak with your RA or friends and people you know.
Q: Can I live with people who are of different class years?
A: Yes, you can live with people of different class years. The roommate with the best lottery number is the person who actually draws the room.
Q: Does everyone drawing into a room need to be present at Room Draw?
A: The person (or his/her proxy) whose number is being used to draw a room MUST ATTEND ROOM DRAW. If the person whose number is being used to draw a room cannot attend Room Draw, he/she must designate someone as a proxy and provide that person A Proxy Designation Form authorizing them to select a room on their behalf. We suggest that all those who plan to room together attend Room Draw and work together to select a location that they want. As an example, four women plan to live together in a quad. Ideally all four would attend Room Draw as a group. If the quad they hope to draw is no longer available, they will be able to decide as a group what the best options are for them.
If drawing into an apartment or suite, you must be prepared to tell us who will be assigned to each of the rooms within the suite/apartment to assure that students are listed in the directory with the correct phone number. Please check the floor plans to determine exact room assignments prior to drawing rooms.
Q: How many rooms are set aside for the incoming first year students?
A: 500+ spaces are set aside in Halls. Evans, Memorial, and Sevy and all the houses are reserved for upper class students.
Q: Which floors will be sub-free/quiet/single-sex?
A: The Housing Selection Advisory Committee determines this on a yearly basis. To see how each floor will be designated, see the Floor Plans and the Room Draw Policy. All residence halls will be smoke-free.
Q: What's the difference in the number of male and female rooms available and why?
A: No more than 55% of the spaces available in individual living areas will be offered to either gender. This is based on the number of men and women that are enrolled at the college each academic year. Generally rooms designated for women will be available for men next year and vice versa.
Q: Where can I find floor plans?
A: Floor plans are posted on the Floor Plans Page.
Q: How are the Village Apartments assigned?
A: The apartment draw is completed during Room Draw. All apartments are drawn as a group. All apartments are off board although a meal plan may be purchased from Dining Services. Three of the apartments are assigned to Resident Assistants.
If drawing into an apartment, you must be prepared to tell us who will be assigned to each of the rooms within the apartment to assure that students are listed in the directory with the correct phone number. Please check the floor plans to determine exact room assignments prior to drawing rooms.
Q: Which campus houses can you draw into and which do you apply to get into?
A: Institutional Houses, Shared Interest Houses and the Language House require applications. All other campus student houses can be drawn into at Room Draw.
Q: If I am not able to draw a room, what happens? What does getting placed mean?
A: Don't worry if you aren't able to select a room during Room Draw! You are guaranteed a room and will have one before you arrive on campus. To assist in your housing assignment, you will want to complete the Summer Placement Housing Questionnaire. The Residential Life Office staff will then place you in an open space or room based on your request and what is available at that time. You will receive your housing assignment in early August.
Q: What if I change my mind about the room I drew at Room Draw?
A: After you have drawn a room, you are unable to change the room assignment. All students drawing a room after you deserve the opportunity to select the room you selected. We will not redo Room Draw to afford them that opportunity and, therefore, you must consider your room selection as final.
Make certain you are confident about the room selection you make at Room Draw. If there are several people drawing into a room, you will need a Proxy Designation form form anyone who who cannot attend Room Draw. If anyone from a group requests to be released from a room, the entire group may lose the space.
Q: How can I live in Northfield?
A: Each year, some students are approved to live off campus in non-college owned housing. This housing selection process, called Northfield Option, is based on seniority. It is open only to rising seniors for the following academic year. If granted Northfield Option, students assume full responsibility for their housing arrangements.
Q: Where can I find an apartment off-campus?
A: Finding an apartment is a student's responsibility if granted Northfield Option. We encourage you to speak with other students who currently live in Northfield apartments since most apartments are not advertised but are handed down from friend to friend each year. There is a listing of available housing available here. Other options include looking in the Northfield News (available in the Bookstore) and the NNB (Noon News Bulletin) for listings.

Critics and videophiles typically wax poetic about features like 3D and Internet streaming. But for a lot of families, that's all foofaraw. Instead, what they want and need is a solid-performing but basic set that won't break their budget. Fortunately, expert and user reviews point to several basic choices that should fill that bill nicely -- and even some that sport a few extras.
Perhaps the top choice is the Samsung EH5000 series, beginning with the 32-inch Samsung UN32EH5000 (*Est. $430) and topping out at the 50-inch UN50EH5000 (*Est. $1,000). If you are looking for high-end features, stop reading now, because there are none. Even the LCD panel sports only a standard 60 Hz refresh rate (despite some marketing and technological sleight of hand that lets Samsung promote this TV as having a 120 Hz TruMotion refresh rate).
On the other hand, if you are looking for solid picture quality for its category, you've come to the right place. Samsung's EH5000 draws generally positive commentary for providing decent blacks -- again for its price class -- that are better than the black levels produced by some more expensive TVs. Color is better still, and very accurate. The full-array LED backlight is a pared-down version of those found in some high-end TVs. The downside is that the EH5000 has a thicker case than edge-lit TVs and an occasional blooming artifact.
However, uniformity -- the bane of most edge-lit LEDs and especially budget models -- is excellent, with issues like excessive brightness at image edges and in corners nearly nonexistent. The matte screen minimizes reflections, making the EH5000 a good performer in brighter spaces such as living rooms and family rooms. Without a doubt, you can find cheaper basic sets than the EH5000, or sets with an extra feature or two. But reviews tell us you won't find better picture quality in another basic TV in this price range.
The Toshiba LS5200 is fairly similar. Unlike the Samsung EH5000, you'll find a true 120 Hz refresh rate for those actually pretty rare instances when motion blurring shows up in real content rather than in test patterns, but that's about the only extra worth noting. Picture quality is less uniformly liked, but most agree that for the price class it's a pretty good choice for everyday viewing. Black levels aren't bad, and most -- but not all -- reviewers say that colors are decent or can be adjusted to be so. Uniformity is not the best, but that's something that can vary from specific set to specific set, and bothers some viewers more than others. You can get the Toshiba LS5200 set in three sizes: the 40-inch Toshiba 40L5200U (*Est. $600), the 46-inch Toshiba 46L5200U (*Est. $800) and the 50-inch Toshiba 50LS5200U (*Est. $900).
If you are interested in something a little more luxed out, take a look at the Panasonic Viera LE50 series. Again, we saw very mixed feedback regarding performance, with some reviewers seeming perfectly happy with picture quality and others citing some notable issues with black levels or colors. Users, however, seem more uniformly pleased.
Certainly features are more plentiful than with the Samsung or Toshiba sets above. Most notably, Panasonic's Viera Connect is on board, and that brings a decent Internet streaming component to the set -- but don't overlook the fact that if you need to stream wirelessly (i.e., there's not a handy Ethernet wired connection nearby), you'll need to budget extra for a Wi-Fi transmitter as that's not built in. Like the Toshiba LS5200, you also get a true 120 Hz refresh rate. Screen size choices include the 42-inch Panasonic Viera TC-L42E50 (*Est. $650), the 47-inch Panasonic Viera TC-L47E50 (*Est. $740), and the 55-inch Panasonic Viera TC-L55E50 (*Est. $1,200).
When shopping for a set in this price range, the Vizio E3D0VX might bear consideration. This is a 2011 set that remains available this year. Unlike virtually all of the sets covered in this report, it uses an old-style CCFL backlight rather than an LED one. That means blacks are lighter than on competing sets, though they still might be deep enough to satisfy many viewers. Uniformity is also an issue. What's not an issue is color performance, which is roundly called excellent. In addition, the E3D0VK is one of the best equipped sets in this price class, including well-liked (for casual viewing) passive 3D and good Internet (but not local) streaming with built-in Wi-Fi. Versions include the 32-inch E3D320VX (*Est. $350), the 42-inch Vizio E3D470VX (*Est. $530) and the 47-inch E3D470VX (*Est. $700).

I Know How to Solve the Fiscal Cliff
Posted by Larry Doyle on December 8, 2012 11:39 AM |
How does one spell dysfunction?
W-A-S-H-I-N-G-T-O-N-D-C, that's how.
While most people in our nation are compelled to develop and live within a budget, the incompetent and ill-advised in Washington strut their stuff with little regard for our nation's general well being.
The simple fact is many politicians in Washington could not manage their way out of a paper bag yet we expect them to manage our nation's finances.
Some in our audience would view the recent election results as a mandate for others to "bend over" when it comes to implementing new tax policies. Talk about misreading the tea leaves. A significant majority of Americans (try a 17% margin) are much more interested in economic growth than perceived economic fairness. Yet those with ear plugs in and ego boosters on in Washington would rather take their case to E-News than actually work to solve our nation's problems. I think it is going to be another long four years.
Not trying to be overly cynical but merely realistic and practical as I see our nation continuing to move down a path of economic decline. But just how might we solve our nation's fiscal problems? Actually, as I think of it, I believe I know how to solve our nation's fiscal cliff. How should we do it?
Let's just divvy the nation up.
Should we divide the nation by North and South, East and West? Why don't we just allow the states with some of the greatest mutual interests (you know, California, Illinois, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, and Vermont) to let us know what part of the nation they might like to occupy and then we will cede that to them. They can take all of their fiscal matters and their representative percentage of the federal deficit along with them. One other item MUST be part of the package: they MUST take their representatives in Washington, as well.
Perhaps we could just draw a line right down from the Canadian border along the edge of North Dakota and straight down to Texas and let them have everything to the west of that. I think that is fair. How about you? We can promote some free trade agreements and the ability to move between the two newly developed nations very liberally. I think they should like that as they seem to like most liberal programs. Hell, Washington and Colorado just legalized dope so they are free to make that the new national plant. This might be a lot easier than we think.
Perhaps they might even think of having the new capital in San Francisco or maybe even the entire state of Hawaii. Can we get this done by the New Year so some of those impacted by this initiative may not have to come back from vacation?
I think that sounds fair. How about you? If you like the proposal, might you think about sharing it with your friends and our allies.
Navigate accordingly and have a nice weekend!!

Excuse my French, but HELL NO!!
I live in Texas, and the last thing I want is for the knuckleheads that voted their states into oblivion bringing that mentality here, never mind straight up giving them Texas.
We're the 14th largest economy in the world. Why ruin a good thing? Instead, we should make Texas the capital of the conservative, responsible portion of your newly formed non-so-United States.
Otherwise, your plan is sound.
I am not talking about ceding all of Texas but we may need you to give up the small western most part of the state out by El Paso. I know that this is a sacrifice but work with me on this.
I am more than happy to consider Dallas, Austin, or Houston as the new capitol!!
What do you think? Our friends in Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, and Montana are likely to have the biggest gripes. Think you have room for some of these good folks down your way??
I'm a flexible man, so yes, I could agree to this change in the plan. I'd welcome transplants from the states listed, and to sweeten the deal, we could extradite a liberal Texan for each welcome arrival.
When do we get started?
Monday…first thing.
Enjoy the weekend and rest up. We have work to do.
Hi Larry,
I have enjoyed following your posts, and sincerely appreciate your perspective.
Question: What kind of platform or movement is it going to take to expose this never-ending "big-government" hypocrisy and literally begin to hold our elected officials accountable for these streams of lies upon lies that seem to get swept under the rug by even conservative media outlets after a few days of ranting?
I know the standard answer is "vote them out of office"! I'm talking about holding their feet to the fire while in office and until we can fully perge the disease, which realistically may never happen!
Totally frustrated with a lying bunch of egomaniacs,
GREAT QUESTION!! What will it take? A groundswell of public opinion which will not come through the dissemination of the message by general media outlets.
Organized and increasingly animated opinion driven through the blogosphere strikes me as the only means. Make no mistake, those on the other side are beating the piss out of the informed on this front. Romney and the Republicans were beaten badly on this front as well.
I share your frustration and try to bring a reasoned voice to it via my blog. I hope you will share Sense on Cents with your friends.
Thanks very much Larry. I will commit to share your blog with all my friends, and continue to pray fervently for that "groundswell of public opinion" to grow quickly into a tsunami of public outrage over the deceitful lies our elected officials think we actually believe!
Unfortunately too many Americans are not into the truth but into "what's in it for me" !
Evil must not only be exposed, it must be resisted, and then it must be overcome! (Romans 12:21) The apostle Paul had it right almost 2000 years ago, now we must do the same!
How about the state that is the 8th largest economy in the world, the one that provides 12% of the total US GDP, that state that receives only 50% of the taxes it sends to the Feds, the 4th largest oil producer etc etc…California be allowed to secede from the US..Then all you whacked out welfare queens can stew in your own mindless bullshit?
Do you promise you will take Nancy Pelosi with you?
If so, then you have a deal.
Absolutely ….But you have to crowbar Romney out of his new SoCal home as part of the swap He's bringing down the neighborhood. . ;=)
You have a deal. I like your straightforward manner!! Nice.
not an inch . . . but we can't have what they won't give up and can't take what we can't wrest from them…the key is really leadership on our side of the ball…we just dont' have it…
Larry – I normally enjoy reading your posts, but respectfully I think this is just plain silly. Agree Washington DC legislative process is a huge systemic risk. Agree that our country's budget should be balanced. Disagree that the best way to solve those issues is to split things in two.
When you post information that blames only one of the two blameworthy sides in a problem it devolves into fractured and unhelpful partisan rhetoric. In fact, it is a variation of the exact same theme that is the main source of the problem in our great nation's capital: extremism.
You are better than FOX news Larry !!!! Suggest respectfully that you please take a moment to enjoy Chris Christie on the Daily Show with John Stewart the other day – his approach speaks volumes to the concept of negotiation, problem solving, compromise and concession as opposed to name-calling and extremism.
At that point if you still feel strongly about secession I certainly respect your point of view, and you are welcome to depart our democracy.
The solution is meant to be a weekend satire.
The poll and reference to the legalization of the dope speak for themselves.
Ok, got it, and my apologies if I misinterpreted. Thanks! I think the best satire would be throwing all these bums in DC off a cliff.
Can you imagine a group of folks trying to design and build a road, and several miles up ahead they can't agree on design plans for whether it should go to the left or to the right of a big obstacle – so, they just throw up their hands during the design process and draw the road so it goes straight into the obstacle? "ok, let's start building, we'll figure that out when we get to it or we'll force ourselves to hit the obstacle."
Sadly, I think we actually went over the fiscal cliff a long time ago, and the current exercise is simply a clusterfucked flailing at a sign-post being observed mid-flight.
As a nation we need to gradually reduce both taxation and government spending so that the government component of GDP comes back down in favor of increasing private sector component.
It may be a long and delicate road dialing back government and avoiding interim deflationary pressure, but we can still design the road in a holistic way rather than navigating purposefully into self-imposed obstacles.
Please keep the commentary coming, I would love to see more information about who (if anyone?) in Washington is displaying balanced pragmatism and non-extremist leadership. Thanks as always!
Anybody care to guess which state this might be?
Big State Faces 'Clear and Present Danger' of Credit Downgrade
Big State
Dem politicians now believe they have a mandate to help themselves to your money because people with no money and people with huge sums of money said they could.
The Pubs are now abandoning the Norquist pledge in droves to catch up with the Obama bandwagon. Every day brings stories of emboldened organized labor and other Obama supporters demanding political payback.
Don't think for a moment that the truly rich will be the target of the "rape and plunder" because their campaign contributions will ensure otherwise; the real target is/will be the middle class.
I define the middle class as household's with taxable income between $50,000-$500,000. What the feds don't get their hands on, states, locals, banks, big oil/auto and educational institutions will.
We live in a country with the largest energy reserves in the world, yet we still pay over $3.50 gal for gasoline and will soon pay over $35k for low end cars that meet minimum mileage standards but won't utilize our abundant energy resources.
Vital infrastructure is beyond disrepair but our colleges and universites resemble high end resorts with graduates unable to find jobs. Retirees with guaranteed defined benefit plans now outearn and will soon outnumber those responsible for picking up the tab. A country where insurance companies collect ever increasing premiums but have found ways to putback most risk to policy holders and to the public. A country where the central bank purchases the bulk of the publically issued debt by ramping up the printing press then returns the coupon payment to the treasury claiming a net positive.
So we await the "big" fiscal cliff deal which is supposed to reduce government spending and get our debt and deficits under control. The only thing you can be sure of is that "back end loaded" will rise to the top of popular phrases on Google searches. Can't wait until Obamacare kicks in, my premiums have already risen over 20% in anticipation.
BUT, when you cut through all the BS, there is still one HUGE unanwered question, if the fiscal cliff agreement IS back end loaded and public spending continues to escalate, how do we REALLY pay for all this?
Just last night the nightly news provided a possible answer, my State will soon layoff all the toll collectors and replace them with cameras and direct debit access to people's bank accounts to collect the tolls. Politicians are already contemplating expansion plans for the toll road "network" and "touting" the cost savings.
"Thank you sir, may I have another"
I think the major problem facing the country is not the debt, deficit, terrorism, external threats. Rather it's this slanted lib media propaganda machine around our necks, of which Joseph Goebbels would be green with envy, and which has enabled much of the dysfunction, including electing and reelecting Obama.
No skin in the game.
Due to entitlement progams and estate planning schemes for wealth transfer, there are more and more Americans with no "skin in the game" who have found their way to the voting booth.
What do I mean, well Mitt Romney's 47% remark is already well publicized in terms of paying no taxes, but what continues to fly under the radar are "trust fund babies" and entitlement collectors who often have no idea what it means to EARN a real paycheck.
Armed with guaranteed monthly incomes and a checkbook, these are the new movers and shakers influencing politicians. Political activism is now populated by persons who either 1)collect money for doing nothing or 2) have nothing better to do with their time.
Is it any wonder that our preferred method of solving problems has evolved into a reliance on BIG government setting up endless numbers of task forces/meetings that propose more and more social programs requiring lots of new hires and frivoulous spending.
As a country, we now spend way to much time talking on cell phones, watching movies/sports, playing video games and aspiring to lives of leisure. We have become dependant on holday spending on consumer leisure technology for our future prosperity.
How do we get off this escalator to nowhere, let's close a few loopholes, means test entitlements and re-introduce the newly motivated former check collectors, to the mechanics of lawmowers, screwdrivers, paintbrushes, and punch clocks.
Let's shift our focus from the unnecessary political circus in Washington.
What many people don't realize is that Obama holds the keys to the solution to our fiscal problems but he has a continuing delemma that has not allowed him to act in the countries best interest.
To what am I referring? The abundance of energy resouces possessed by this country that the President is holding hostage to green/alt energy initiatives and the american auto workers union.
Starting in the 1970′s there has been a massive shift in global wealth from the American middle class to the oil producers. The price fixing mechanism was initially OPEC, now it is the President's failure to build out the energy infrastructure necessary to get our domestic energy resources to the global markets.
Currently the spread on domestic v. global oil is over 20%. The spread on natural gas much, much greater. These spreads are trillions of dollars in revenues lost to this country on an annual basis. These spreads also result in an unnecessary 20% oil/gas tax on the American consumer.
The leader of the next legitimate bull market in America is the energy industry, not the financial engineers on Wall St. Mr. President, stop holdng capital markets hostage to your socialistic ideals. Let it happen, unleash the frack attack.
When green technology is ready to take over energy leadership, it will be price competative not government subsidiized. The Chevy Volt cost > $90,000 to build, the Toyota Prius < $30,000, the timing is off!
I get the global warming argument, but NG is much cleaner than oil, why not promote NG until even cleaner energy sources are ready?
You are providing an education to all who read this along with a whole lot of 'sense on cents' in the process.
Where is the rub? The political conflict and social vision of those who might make a difference along with the profiteering of those who gain under the current construct.
Who pays?
Who "ALWAYS" pays?
The American consumer and primarily the middle class.
Thanks for the enlightenment and transparency.

SPOILER WARNING: The following page may contain story spoilers. Read at your own risk.
Writer: Robert Loren Fleming
Penciller: Audwynn Jermaine Newman
Inker: Raymond Kryssing
Colorist: Tom McCraw
Letterer: Gaspar Saladino (as Gaspar)
Editor: Paul Kupperberg
heroes: Bloodwynd II, Booster Gold, Bruce Gordon, Flash III, Green Arrow I, Guy Gardner, Hourman II, Jade, Lightray, Martian Manhunter, Metamorpho, Mister Miracle, Nemesis, Nightshade, Obsidian, Orion, Power Girl, Prism, Wonder Woman
supportinges: Amanda Waller, Chunk, Johnny Peril, Mona Bennett
Setting: 20th-century New York, NY, USA
Cover Description: Eclipso clenches a cracked globe, smiling as several mushroom clouds rise from the globe's surface. (No Booster Gold.)
Brief Synopsis: Bruce Gordon and Amanda Waller assemble some of Earth's greatest heroes to tackle the growing menace of Eclipso.
Costume Worn: MARK II armored power-suit
Page 20, panel 1
Following the United Nations' sanction of a military action against Eclipso's stronghold in the fictional country of Parador, several of the DC Universe's heroes gather at the Justice League Headquarters beside the U.N.'s New York headquarters to begin the assault. Assembled heroes include Amanda Waller, Bloodwynd I, Booster Gold, Bruce Gordon, Chunk, Flash III, Green Arrow, Green Lantern I, Guy Gardner, Hourman I, Jade, Johnny Peril, Lightray, Martian Manhunter, Metamorpho, Mister Miracle, Nemesis, Nightshade, Obsidian, Orion, Power Girl, Prism, and Wonder Woman.
Page 22, panel 1
Mona Bennett joins the assembled heroes by unnecessarily destroying a wall of the JLA Headquarters. Haven't you heard of doors, Mona?
Boosterrific Review: This issue is painful on the eyes. Flemings' dialogue and plot is every bit as bad as Newman's pencils and Kryssing's inks. (It is a shame that legendary DC letterer Gaspar Saladino was involved in this mess.) The highlight of the issue is the side story of the Phantom Stranger's quest to recover Eclipso's black diamonds, a horror tale more aligned with the art and dialogue than the science-fiction genre of the Shadow Fighters in the main storyline.
Boosterrific Rating: Tarnished.

The Sony Ericsson T68m: retro phone fun
The Sony Ericsson T68m was the company's first phone to feature a color screen. Welcome to 2001!
You know how you kind of get pissed off at trying to watch a movie on the screen of a first generation iPhone? It's all tiny and cramped up; sometimes you have to bend it at an angle to catch the action.
Well, here's some figures for you, the first generation iPhone had a screen resolution of about 320 pixels by 480 pixels and can display over 16 million colors. Now let's jump back to 2001, the T68m was the first Ericsson phone to feature a full color screen. The phone had a display resolution of 101 pixels by 80 pixels and could display – wait for it – 256 DIFFERENT colors.
Sony went to great lengths to promote this miracle of modern technology and pioneered one of the first steath marketing campaigns when they hired actors to go around New York City pretending to be tourists and taking pictures with the phones. Eventually a hue and cry was raised, and even 60 Minutes went after Sony.
So the next time you're trying to watch that bootlegged copy of Thor on your iPhone screen–and want to complain, just be glad you've got more than 256 colors to work with.
Do you have any Sony Ericsson T68i stories? KYC would love to hear your comments below!

Medical marijuana facility partners with rapper
OTISVILLE, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan medical marijuana facility is partnering with a member of the Grammy-winning rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to cultivate and distribute a new strain of medical marijuana.
The Green Oasis and Stanley "Flesh-N-Bone" Howse have agreed to work together on "Phifty Caliber Kush," which they say has a noticeable floral taste and is an effective pain reliever.
The Flint-area dispensary's owner, Anthony Butler, calls the new pot strain "the best of the best."
Flesh-n-Bone Global executive Michael "Tony B." Bernardi tells The Flint Journal (http://bit.ly/14bKODM ) that Howse hopes the product can provide relief for any qualified, verified patient.
Besides distributing "Phifty Caliber Kush," The Green Oasis could begin selling merchandise and possibly host a visit from Howse.
Michigan voters approved marijuana for some chronic medical conditions in 2008.

I downloaded and installed the xp mode software from Microsoft but after the "install", xp mode didn't start up to be configured. I have an xp mode directory in my program files folder and it contains a key.txt, vxpula.txt, windows xp mode base.vhd, and a folder with tutorials. Nothing there to start the program.
My AMD64 has it's virtualization turned on in the bios. XP mode worked when I installed it last year , but, thinking I would never have a use for it, I uninstalled it. Now that I have a use for it, it seems to have not installed properly or there's something stopping it from continuing to install. I uninstalled it, downloaded again and reinstalled a couple of times but to no avail. Anyone have a clue what the problem is?

Exactly two weeks ago, the Giants were in first place by four games. Then, a lot of bad baseball happened. Now they are a full game out of first, and probably should thank the Diamondbacks for being so polite as to not run away with the division while the Giants were busy being terrible.
So, what has gone wrong? Let's start with the obvious.
They stopped scoring runs. As promised, there's the obvious. But the offense over the last two weeks has been terrible, even by the Giants' already low standards. They've averaged 2.3 runs a game during their little streak as compared to 3.5 runs per game over the whole season. A pitching staff with five Steve Carltons and five Mariano Riveras might be able to keep an offense like that in contention, but that's about it.
They stopped walking. Coming into the Cincinnati series, the Giants were hitting .241/.305/.359. That's terrible, to be sure. Their batting line since then is .248/.287/.353. That's right, the team batting average has actually gone up over the last two weeks. The Giants have hit a fraction less doubles, but they have been short about one walk per game.
They haven't bunched up their hits. It's kind of a neat trick, but despite having fewer base runners and a higher team batting average, the Giants have managed to strand an extra half of a base runner per game. The hits just aren't coming at the right time.
They've allowed more runs. The pitching staff has basically allowed 17 extra runs. They haven't really pitched that much worse as a whole: a few more walks than you would expect and few more homeruns, but a ton more hit batsmen.
The back of the rotation has pitched poorly. The combined line for Jonathan Sanchez and Barry Zito over three games: 14 innings, 15 runs, 8 walks, 14 strikeouts and 4 home runs. The Giants need their starting pitching to at least keep them in every game, because the offense is not going to bail them out. If they want to keep pace with the Diamondbacks, they can not afford to punt every fifth game.

Houston Arboretum and Nature Center to receive deep cleaning
The Cintas Corporation will be cleaning the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center's restrooms for free on Thursday, June 7.
This service will be provided to help the center prepare for children's summer classes. By keeping restrooms cleaner for longer, the hope is that repeat visitors will continue to come back throughout the summer.
"After frequent use, park restrooms should be regularly deep cleaned to remove smelly odors, tough dirt and germs," said Roger Gilanyi, a deep clean specialist from Cintas, in a press release. "We believe everyone should have a pleasant time at the center, whether taking classes, enjoying nature or using the restroom. We're thrilled to provide deep cleaning services to the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center's restrooms and help revive the cleanliness of the park and encourage public use."
Houston Arboretum and Nature Center is located at 4501 Woodway Drive.
