The following phrases can all be used in Spain (there may be variations in South/Latin America) to say that you, or someone else, are really happy:
Más feliz que un regaliz (literally, happier than liquorice)
Más feliz que una perdiz (literally, happier than a partridge)
Más contento que un niño con zapatos nuevos (happier than a child with new shoes)
e.g. ¿Cómo estás? … ¡Estoy más feliz que un regaliz!
Another favourite of ours:
Está como un pez en el agua – She's really having a great time, she's in her element, (literally 'like a fish in water'. It's strange that in English we say 'like a fish out of water' to mean the exact opposite!)
And if you just want to keep things simple, there's no easier phrase in the world than:
Estoy super contento/a
¡Que seáis muy felices! – May you all be very happy!
– Ben y Marina]]>
First of all, ¡Feliz Año Nuevo! Happy New Year!
We wanted to start the year by thanking everyone that supported our end of 2014 campaign, whereby we donated all sales from 16.12.14 until 1.1.2015 to ACNUR, the Spanish division of UNHCR (the UN's refugee agency).
We were able to raise 4,697 Euros for their Africa campaign, which states "1€ = 1 dia mas de vida".
Running this campaign led to a huge amount of feedback from listeners, many with ideas about the nature and notion of charity, and how best to efficiently send support to those that need it.
A full analysis of these ideas, the results of this campaign, and what Notes in Spanish will do going forward, can be found on another of our sites:
Many thanks again, we'll be in touch very soon and wish you a very happy, Spanish-packed 2015.
Ben y Marina]]>
We are immensely grateful to everyone who has continued to learn Spanish with us this year.
We are incredibly lucky to be able to continue to make a living from this business that we started nearly 9 years ago, and a few days ago we passed the sales figure we need to cover our cost of living for a year. So we've decided to donate the rest of the year's sales (from 16.12.14 until 1.1.2015) to ACNUR, the Spanish division of UNHCR, the UN's refugee agency.
Their Africa campaign states "1€ = 1 dia mas de vida" – "One euro means one more day alive", for the 1.2 million refugees in Africa who are currently at risk of dying of hunger.
The number of causes vying for everyone's attention these days can be mind boggling, and personally we find it impossible sometimes to know who to help. In the end we think that any help sent to any good cause is better than being lost in indecision. This Christmas we've decided to help ACNUR, so all proceeds from any sales made for the rest of this year in the Notes in Spanish store will go to their Africa campaign:
Thanks for learning Spanish with us, and have a really wonderful Christmas.
Ben y Marina
UPDATE: The results of this campaign can be found here]]>
We think this is the most beautiful 'Thank You' song on the planet and we share it every year on this day.

So… Gracias. Thank you. Thank you for helping us share this beautiful language all over the world. Thank you for your kind comments, your lovely emails, for telling your friends about us.
So once again, Happy Thanksgiving – Feliz día de Acción de Gracias. Muchas Gracias por tu dedicación y por aprender español con nosotros.

Queridos amigos,
Here's how to sound really Spanish when it's 39 degrees Celsius (102 Fahrenheit) in the shade – which is what we expect in Madrid as usual this summer!
Cool Spanish phrases for when it's roasting hot:
"¡Ay que calor!" – It's so hot!
"¡Estoy sudando como un pollo!" – I'm sweating like a chicken!
"¡Me estoy asando!" – I'm roasting!
Try them out, you'll sound super Spanish!
Hasta Pronto, y gracias,
Ben y Marina]]>
Queridos Amigos,
Our Christmas sale is over, but as promised we have sent the first 1,000 euros to the UK homeless charity Crisis and their Crisis at Christmas campaign, to provide a christmas meal, and information and support services to homeless people in the UK over the festive season. This should cover around 40 Crisis at Christmas places:
One place at Crisis at Christmas provides…
– welcoming support from people who really care
– three nutritious, hot meals including Christmas dinner
– the chance to shower and change clothes, have a haircut and get a health check
– expert advice on life-changing issues like housing and employment
– an introduction to Crisis year-round services for training and support for the future
– See more at: http://community.crisis.org.uk/reserve
Why this charity? Because Ben lived in London for three years before moving to Spain many years ago, and knows how tough winter in London can be. Thank you for helping us to support Crisis.
Now for the christmas treats!
Check out this video, then see below for links to our own Special Notes in Spanish Christmas podcasts!
If you haven't heard it before, then this is a classic…
The video is a montage that someone on youtube put together of a very typical Spansih Christmas carol… Lyrics and notes below… When we sent this out last year it caused a lot of debate – is it tacky or not?!
About the Carol: For a long time I did think this Christmas carol, or villancico as they are called in Spanish, was rather hortera – tacky. But then I started to like it, and now it's just a great part of Spanish Christmas! Here below are the lyrics (with key vocab translations in brackets) if you are interested. One key word is of course 'Belén' – which as well as being a common girls name, also means Bethlehem (as in this carol), or Nativity Scene.
The Lyrics: Campanas Sobre Campanas
Campana sobre campana, [campana = Bell]
y sobre campana una,
asómate a la ventana, [asomarse = look out/lean out… of the window]
verás al Niño en la cuna. [cuna = babies cot/crib]
Belén, campanas de Belén,
que los ángeles tocan
¿qué nueva me traéis?
Recogido tu rebaño [rebaño = flock]
¿a dónde vas pastorcillo? [pastorcillo = little shephard]
Voy a llevar al portal
requesón, manteca y vino. [requesón = cottage cheese/curd, manteca = lard/butter]
Belén, campanas de Belén,
que los ángeles tocan
¿qué nueva me traéis?
Campana sobre campana,
y sobre campana dos,
asómate a esa ventana,
porque está naciendo Dios.
Belén, campanas de Belén,
que los ángeles tocan
¿qué nueva me traéis?
Campana sobre campana,
y sobre campana tres,
en una Cruz a esta hora,
el Niño va a padecer. [padecer = suffer]
Belén, campanas de Belén,
que los ángeles tocan
¿qué nueva me traéis?

'Miedo' (Fear) is a great Spanish word that changes meaning completely depending on whether it is used literally or colloquially:
Literal Meanings:
Ay, ¡me das mucho miedo! – Ah, you're really scaring me! (For 'ghosts' at Halloween!)
Hubo una gran tormenta mientras íbamos caminando por el campo y pasamos mucho miedo – There was a big storm while we were walking in the countryside and we got really scared
Una película de miedo – A horror film
Colloquial Meanings:
Miedo is also used colloquially here in Spain (by people of all ages) to mean something is great:
Este helado está de miedo – This ice cream is amazing
Fuimos a los Alpes este verano y lo pasamos de miedo – We went to the Alps this summer and had a fantastic time.]]>
It's Halloween time in Spain, and the streets are full of witches, ghouls and ghosts! We've got some special treats for you (and no tricks!) – Some great 'scary' Spanish vocab and phrases!
The Super-Useful, Real Spanish 'Scary' Vocab and Phrases!
Here are some 'frights and scares' Spanish phrases for you to use all year round, and not just at Halloween!
Asustar – To scare someone or give someone a shock
¡No me asustes! – Don't scare me
Ben: No arranca el coche – The car won't start
Marina: ¡No me asustes, que acabo de recogerlo del taller! – Don't scare me like that, I just picked it up from the workshop!
Un susto – a shock
¡Qué susto me has dado! – What a fright you just gave me (e.g. when someone comes into a room without you noticing)
¡Qué susto me ha dado el perro! – What a shock that dog gave me
Me llevé un susto que no veas / me he dado un susto de muerte – I got a really big shock (for really serious situations/shocks)
Ha habido un accidente de tráfico justo delante mío, y pensé que no iba a frenar a tiempo. Me he dado un susto de muerte. – There was a car accident right in front of me, and I thought I wouldn't be able to stop in time. I got a terrible shock.
¡Qué susto, un vampiro! – What a fright, a vampire! (When your neighbour appears in his vampire costume this halloween!)
¡Feliz Halloween!]]>
We've been very busy for a while, working on projects like updating the Notes in Spanish website to keep it fresh and mobile friendly (important these days!) and more secure.
It's been a while since we shared our favourite phrases, and here is one that we hear a lot at this time of year when the weather can't quite make it's mind up:
Hasta el 40 de mayo no te quites el sayo – Don't take your raincoat off until May 40th!
This wonderful phrase, straight from the streets of Madrid (so it might not work in South America!) means that until May 40th, so about June 10th, don't bet on nice weather, it can still be cold… but after June 10th, watch out! ¡Va a hacer muchísimo calor!
¡Un saludo!
Ben y Marina]]>
El amor es lo único que crece cuando se reparte.
– Antoine Saint-Exupery
¡Te quiero! – Spanish love phrases
I (Ben) remember how odd it was to walk around the streets of Madrid in my first months in Spain many years ago, hearing young couples say to each other 'Te quiero'… literally meaning 'I want you!' This sounded a little strange to be saying to each other in the street all day long, until I discoved that in Spain it simply means, 'I love you', and is used (here, at least) much more frequently than 'te amo'.
Here are a few more Spanish love phrases we like:
Amor a primera vista – Love at first sight
… or more commonly used:
"Lo nuestro fue un flechazo" – For us it was love at first sight
Encontrar pareja – To find a partner
Or much more poetic and romantic:
Encontrar tu media naranja – To find your perfect other half.
Our Love Audios
This is a great week to listen to our love-related audios again!
Notes in Spanish Gold Season 1 – Ep.12 – Amor y La Galaxia – Ben's sister finds love, despite it being more likely to find aliens in our galaxy, and online dating flourishes in Spain.
Advanced Spanish Podcast 65 – San Valentin – ¿Cuál es la manera más común de celebrar el día de los enamorados en tu país?
Intermediate Spanish Podcast 20 – Amor – ¿Que es lo que hace la gente de tu pais la primera vez que queda con alguien?
Once Again, Our Favourite Spanish Love Song
Here's Y Sin Embargo – from the most Madrileño Joaquin Sabina – with the stunning intro from Olga Roman – with such classic, love filled stanzas as:
Te quiero más que a mis ojos,
te quiero más que a mi vida,
más que al aire que respiro
y más que a la madre mía.
Here's the video:
(Lyrics for the main song with Sabina, here, and the opening section here.)

Allegations of animal mistreatment and abuse have been made against a Neshoba County horse farm.
There are dozens of horses on the property, located just north of Collinsville.
Neshoba County officials say they're investigating whether or not some of the horses have been mistreated or killed.
This comes after someone who was recently on the property filed a complaint with investigators.
Tammy Woods works for Coyote Hills Stables in Chunky. On Monday, she was arrested for trespassing while looking into a suspected case of animal cruelty.
Woods says the person who filed the charges is not the owner of that land and the actual person who had power of attorney gave her permission to enter.
Woods said she was there to photograph the reportedly poor, living conditions of horses. She says what she found was disturbing.
"A lot of them looked skinny. A lot of them, they had cuts and scars on their eyes and face," said Wood. "And walking around, I noticed there wasn't any fresh water for the horses to be drinking, because all of his water buckets or barrels had gun shot holes through them."
Woods is pressing charges on eleven counts of animal cruelty. She says she found eleven horse skulls near the individual's home with gunshot wounds.
Investigators with the Neshoba County Sheriff's Department are still investigating this case.

Christian Bale's The Flowers Of War Getting A Late December U.S. Release Date
By Sean O'Connell 2011-11-08 19:35:55 comments
Zhang Yimous The Flowers of War, which was recently selected as China's official foreign language entry for this years Academy Awards, will get a limited release in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco in late December, according to Chris Ball, President and CEO Wrekin Hill Entertainment, which co-owns the films North American distribution rights with Row 1 Productions. The companies said theyll gradually expand War - which opens in China on Dec.16 - to additional theaters in early 2012.
Yimou earned two BAFTA awards for Raise the Red Lantern and To Live, while also being nominated for House of Flying Daggers. His latest, a historical drama set in China during the 1937 Nanking Massacre, stars Christian Bale as American Catholic priest John Miller, who gets caught up in a movement of political escapees trying to survive during chaotic times. The fictional drama will be based on Yan Gelings novel The 13 Women of Nanjing, and will be relatively intense, based on the trailer that was posted earlier.
Wait, Bale appears in movies not named The Dark Knight Rises? Whod have guessed? When we hear late December release, we automatically assume that those whove seen Flowers Of War feel the film has Oscar potential. Maybe Bale can work his way into the race, in addition to Chinas consideration for the Foreign Language statue? Just ask Ball, who says, Flowers of War just blew me away. Not only is it incredibly powerful but the artistry is absolutely sensational.
But awards worthy? Well find out next month.

With a $1.4 million cut this year, Okemos faces the possibility of losing teacher positions and school programs. Many parents said they moved to Okemos for the school system and want their children to have the best possible education available to them.
"Okemos Cares" collected donations outside the Meridian Township Farmer's Market on Saturday. They said the community response has been great, and they have already raised $100,000 to save the fifth grade music program.
Members of "Okemos Cares" and parents said they are willing to help the district through this difficult time, but they hope in the future, fundraising efforts like this one won't be needed.
Mary Graham is a member of "Okemos Cares" and a parent to three children in Okemos public schools.
"We really need to take a look at how we fund our schools," Graham says.

text: GoldenBearSports.com Cal Starts Season Strong in 3-1 Victory over USF The Golden Bears beat the Dons 3-1 at Goldman Field By Cal Athletics on Fri, August 22, 2014 Related Links Arielle Ship reflects on win vs. USF Box Score BERKELEY, Calif. – When Lorin Hom started her first collegiate game last year at Oregon, Cal women's soccer head coach Neil McGuire considered it a very special moment given the senior midfielder's three ACL tears and seven surgeries. Tonight, Hom continued to make McGuire proud by scoring her first-ever collegiate goal, and the first goal of the Golden Bears' season, to help lead the Bears to a 3-1 victory over San Francisco on Goldman Field. Cal's returners proved the Bears remain in strong shape despite losing 10 starters from 2013 to graduation, as sophomore Arielle Ship and junior Ifeoma Onumonu scored the remaining two Cal goals. Six Golden Bear newcomers also saw action in Friday's game, including freshman goalkeeper Emily Boyd who earned her first win with one save. "I think we did really well," Onumonu said. "There's definitely some key points that we need to work on, but definitely fixable. We played really well, especially with the young players. I'm happy with the win." Cal continues opening weekend Sunday at No. 10/20 Santa Clara beginning at 1 p.m. in Buck Shaw Stadium. HEAD COACH NEIL MCGUIRE'S TAKE McGuire says: First of all, credit to San Francisco. Jim has done a great job with that team. They're well-organized, they're hard-working and they know exactly where they should be at all times, and they made it very difficult for us. I thought over the course of the 90 minutes that we were the deserving victors, but the game was in the balance for a while there and San Francisco could have easily come away with something: GOLDEN BEAR GOALS 47' – Lorin Hom (assisted by Arielle Ship and Celeste Boureille) – low shot to the right corner Hom says: "I saw Cel B. posted up and the left side was open, so I rolled underneath and shot into the far corner." 64' – Arielle Ship (unassisted) – straight shot from the center outside the box Ship says: "I got the ball and I faced up. I saw the defenders in hindsight. I drew the first defender, did a scissors and faked left and pushed the ball right. No one was really stepping to me, so I knew I had the shot and went for it." 79' – Ifeoma Onumonu (assisted by Taylor Comeau and Celeste Boureille) – pass from the middle out wide and tapped into an empty net Onumonu says: The goal was a good assist by Cel. B with the first pass from Taylor, then to Cel B. and then to me. It was simple with the things that we work on in practice – passing, small passes and an easy touch in. SAN FRANCISCO'S GOAL 58' – Amanda Whittle (unassisted) – from the top of the box to the lower left NEWS & NOTES Cal is now 26-6-1 in season openers since the program began in 1982. The Bears also opened last season with a 3-1 win. Six of the program's 12 newcomers made their debut in tonight's game – Emily Boyd, Indigo Gibson, Haley Lukas, Guro Bergsvand, Annia Mejia and Heather Walleigh. Sophomore Hannah Koski also made her first Blue & Gold appearance. Lorin Hom and Arielle Ship scored their first collegiate goals. SUPER STAT Starting forward Arielle Ship came out strong to prove the Golden Bears' offense is just as potent as ever. Ship played the most minutes of any freshman in 2013 (206) but was limited by injury, and now she has started her sophomore season with success. The sophomore forward tallied four shots and one assist, including the game-winning goal at the 64th minute. NEXT UP The Golden Bears head south to perennial Bay Area rival No. 10/20 Santa Clara, the site where the 2013 season ended in a 2-1 loss in the NCAA Tournament. Cal's rematch with the Broncos begins Sunday at 1 p.m. at Buck Shaw Stadium.

Is there something about writing that makes people want to cover up and look intelligent? Probably. Because last night at the Writers Guild Awards in Los Angeles, actors and actresses were more than a little hidden than usual.

My Best Birth
Hi ladies!As the title says, I am 6 months pregnant with a 9 month old nursling. It's hard because I am having trouble finding support from my sons pedi and my husband doesn't feel like the advice from my LC is accurate and insists that I supplement. I can feel my supply is lower but it's so hard knowing how much milk he needs.
Any suggestions?

This hasn't been the best year for four letter, all-caps titles. Back in July, we brought you some of the choicest pans of Universal's "R.I.P.D.," a miss-mash of comic book stylings and Academy-Award-winning actors playing characters with names like Roysiphus Pulsifer. Just last week, the New York Times ran a harsh review of the Adam Scott-starring "A.C.O. D." (Manohla Dargis raves, "The words just kept coming, and so did the perfunctory rest of it!") While neither the film, nor the iconic New York venue which lends it its title, uses any periods to separate out its acronym components, "CBGB" seems to have been bitten by the same radioactive bad review bug.
It's interesting to note how many write-ups invoke or acknowledge some form of "You had to be there" when describing the ways that this film falls short in capturing the vitality of the place that became a proving ground for legendary groups and singers. Other critics point out the film's problems with establishing the proper timeline for individual acts' careers. (Note to self: Never shuffle the stages of Patti Smith's career. Many people will notice.) Some point to the casting of Alan Rickman as CBGB impresario Hilly Krystal, a role objectively meant for someone a few decades his junior. The rest of the ensemble is filled with recognizable faces playing even more recognizable faces, a recipe that rarely proves fruitful.
Whatever the reason, if the film's goal was to recreate the spirit of what made the club a cultural landmark, these reviews indicate that the mark may have been missed. At least the soundtrack is good...?
Here are ten great lines from ten Roysiphean reviews of "CBGB":
"As Ferguson points out, shrugging, in a moment of clarity that comes close to breaking the fourth wall: 'Hey, art sucks.'"
"The inside of CBGB looks convincing enough...The outside is in Savannah and features rats, bums lighting fires in trash cans, cops with 'dese and dose' accents and those sky-blue uniform shirts, and other pseudo-authentic bits of flair. I think that sums it up."
Forrest Cardamenis, The Film Stage:
"I never had the chance to attend New York City's CBGB, 'the birthplace of punk,' but if my first exposure to it were the film of the same name, I'm not sure I would want to."
Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post:
"Another irritant: cutesy name-tag graphics like 'Tom Verlaine,' used to identify the actors playing dress-up. This era was not about helping out the audience. Punk didn't give a flying unprintable noun what you did or did not get."
"Though clearly shot on a limited budget, CBGB seems to have spared no expense in the fake-dogshit department, repeatedly showing frustrated employees and visitors stepping in the stuff to the accompaniment of loud squishing noises."
Charlie Schmidlin, The Playlist:
"It takes a lot of effort to take the underdog stomping grounds of New York's top punk acts and turn them into the Central Perk from 'Friends'—albeit with slightly more stain—but 'CBGB' does it with total conviction."
"Quick, what's the ideal song for a movie about CBGB to play over its opening credits? Anyone whose answer is 'Life During Wartime,' the Talking Heads classic that actually mentions CBGB right in the lyrics, congratulations—you're unimaginative enough to have made this thuddingly banal portrait of Hilly Kristal."
Eric Hynes, Time Out New York:
"Each band is introduced as if it's a blackguard Christ headed for Jerusalem, with the camera pushing in on Rickman's 'show me what you got' mug for the reveal that, lo, 'Psycho Killer' was about to change the world."
"This thing is as inauthentic and artificial as they come, the absolute antithesis to the pioneering punk spirit it sets out to portray."
Stephen Whitty, The Star-Ledger:
"If you really want to remember those times? Get out "Horses." Or "Talking Heads: 77." Or "Blank Generation." Preferably on vinyl, with all the pops and scratches. And play them. Loud."

PlantsProFood – Isolation of biofunctional "Food Ingredients" from lupine seeds for the food industry
Companies and research organizations have joined in the group PlantsProFood to focus on developing new food ingredients from regional blue sweet lupines (Lupinus angustifolius). The production of highly functional lupine protein isolates and fiber makes it possible for food producers to develop innovative plant derived food.
Lupine protein isolate from blue sweet lupine is superior to classic products from soy and domestic legumes. They solve taste and texture problems of classic products. In addition, they offer many unique characteristics, because worldwide there is currently no production of genetically engineered lupines. The core growth PlantsProFood was initiated with the support of BioCon Valley, the Network for Life Science, and the health economy of the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It will be funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) until 2013.
Blue sweet lupine seeds contain valuable protein and fiber. Ten businesses and four research organizations are involved in the regional core growth project PlantsProFood to make a broad application possible.
Blue sweet lupines are considered high in protein with a content of 35 %. Currently they are used mainly as a green fertilizer and feed crop. In contrast to soybean protein plants, its high cultivatable potential allows variety optimization without gene engineering. Sweet lupines are also of interest because they can be excellently grown in the Central European climate. Especially the light soil in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern region offers ideal prerequisites.
The goal of the research project PlantsProFood is to prepare the industrial processing of lupines and to establish new application potentials. Aside from variety breeding optimization, gentle technical procedures are being developed to obtain functional protein isolates and fiber concentrates. Various project partners are working on product development of lupine protein foods such as sausages, pasta, and baked goods.
The project is being funded in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as part of the innovation initiative "Neue Länder" of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research BMBF. The competitiveness of local farms and the food processing industry are supported by the use of domestic raw materials to isolate new food ingredients.
The research project is divided into seven group projects:
- LUPIROH – New blue sweet lupine varieties as raw materials for the food industry (two project partners)
- LUPIING – Development of a facility to prepare and extract ingredients from lupine seeds and to modify protein isolates (six project partners)
- LUPIWURST – Development of low fat sausages as well as vegetarian sausage and meat surrogates (two project partners)
- LUPIFEIN – Development of lupine protein based food emulsions (two project partners)
- LUPIPASTA – Development of lupine protein based pasta (two project partners)
- LUPIBACK – Development of lupine protein based baked goods (two project partners)
- LUPISENS – Method development for the sensory evaluation of lupine based foods (one project partners)
Prolupin Ltd., a spin-off-company of the Fraunhofer-Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging plays an important role in the core growth. The Prolupin Ltd. manages the group project LUPIING. This new enterprise is currently building a pilot facility to process lupines. After this group project has been completed, it will implement the lupine technology at an industrial scale.

Lil Eazy-E, son of Eazy-E, is reportedly in contract negotiations with a rival label to his father's Ruthless Records. Jonathan Hay and Michael Bentley of Hoopla Media Group and a representative for Lil Eazy-E, told HipHopDX that the Compton, California native is speaking with the Death Row Records/WIDEAwake Entertainment today (September 13), the 16th anniversary of onetime label star Tupac Shakur's death.
"The Money Gang, the N.W.A. family and I would like to give respect and love to Tupac Shakur and the Hoopla/WIDEawake/Death Row [Records] family. I'm excited to soon bring you a new generation of Rap that will reign in and bring success like the old Ruthless/Death Row era," said Lil Eazy-E in a statement.
Lisa Marcum, of N.W.A. Entertainment, added, "I am excited about this possibility with Hoopla [Worldwide] in bringing together this Death Row/Ruthless saga, which is known as the biggest beef in rap history, into a new era with N.W.A. Entertainment, bringing the fans what rap has been missing - real Rap music. And what better way to do that than through Lil Eazy-E."
Now owned by WIDEawake, Death Row is no longer under the control of co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight. Knight was instrumental in releasing his would-be partner and former client Dr. Dre from Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. In the early '90s, Lil Eazy-E's father and his label had a longstanding feud with Death Row, that prompted several violent attacks.
Besides Dr. Dre, Above The Law and Michel'le were Ruthless Records artists who later signed with Death Row. Acts such as Kokane, Dresta and The D.O.C. also worked closely with the label in the 1990s and early 2000s. Eazy's son, however, never signed with Ruthless.
Previously signed to Virgin Records in the mid-2000s, Lil Eazy-E is still working on his debut album. He is also reportedly beginning a memoir.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Fifty-seven percent of U.S. workers have under $25,000 saved for retirement according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. That's obviously far from enough to keep us solvent in our declining years, but how much money do we really need to retire comfortably?
(Photo Credit: 401(k) 2012/Flickr)
A study from the Journal of Financial Planning attempted to quantify this number -- or at least provide some rough guidelines for determining it. Wade Pfau, Ph.D, looked at looked market returns between 1871 and 2009 to determine a "safe savings rate" for workers who would like to retire. Ultimately, what he discovered was that the answer depends on how much time you have to prepare for retirement.
"If you have 30 years to save and want to replace 50 percent of your income, use a 60/40 asset allocation (60 percent stocks and 40 percent bonds) and save 16.62 percent of your salary every year," writes Melanie Pinola at Lifehacker. "More proof that saving early pays off: If you have 40 years until retirement, the savings rate drops to 8.77 percent."
In other words, Pfau's research shows us that we're better off focusing on behaviors rather than numbers. Saving early and consistently puts workers in a better spot in their retirement years, regardless of how the market fluctuates.

It Can't Happen Here

A banal virosis, no doubt
Fever fades away, back at work
I feel weary, I'll be all right, I'm sure
What, now? My body itches
Could this be an allergy?
A pill to halt the itching
Again ill, what does this nausea mean?
Could this be dengue?
It's on the borders, the global warming …
And yet, I didn't leave the city
In Buenos Aires you can't …
Just in case, I have a test done
I can't believe it, the test is positive
Spread the news, could be more cases,
— Needs confirmation, it can't happen here
Why not? Imported cases, Aedes thriving …
There must be others, we must warn people
— We are not sure, can't happen here
At last, new test confirms. You must warn people
Not even now? What about the others?
Those who don't know, they are at risk
— It won't spread, can't happen here
As a physician I feel responsible
Please spread the news
It did happen here!

Transfer of Partial IRA Account Balance Subjects Periodic Payments to 10% PenaltySep 2nd, 2009 | By Charles L. Stanley CFP® ChFC® AIF® | Category: 3rd Quarter (Age 40-60)
IRA accounts are designed for retirement. If a person decides they want to access their account prior to age 59 1/2, they will incur a Federal Income Tax penalty for early withdrawal of 10% of the amount withdrawn. In addition, the amount withdrawn is deemed ordinary income and taxed as such. If that weren't bad enough of a deterrent from early withdrawals, some states also have an early withdrawal penalty, for example in California it is 2.5%. So, if a person taking an early withdrawal is in the 25% income tax bracket, they would pay 25% income tax, plus 10% Federal penalty, plus 2.5% California penalty for a total tax of 37.5%.
This is intended to discourage people from invading retirement plans early. And, it generally works.
However, there are occasional cases in which a person simply must begin taking funds from their IRA. There is a way to avoid these penalties. It is known as the SEPP or "Substantially Equal Periodic Payments" plan also identified by the tax code as 72(t). These payments must continue until the person is age 59 1/2 or 5 years, whichever is later. If these payments are modified, all of the prior payments become subject to the penalties. You must be very careful about violating the rules if you embark on this plan.
Here is the story about someone who innocently got stung by "modifying" her payments.
In a recent IRS Private Letter Ruling the rigidity of the rules under IRC § 72(t) by which substantially equal periodic payments are exempt from the 10% early withdrawal tax is illustrated. An individual's non-taxable transfer of a portion of her individual retirement account to another IRA constituted a prohibited "modification" of the payments, which the IRS ruled could not be corrected by reversing the transfer. The error resulted in the distributions she had taken over the prior seven years all being subject to the 10% early withdrawal tax and interest.1
Transfer of Only a Portion of the IRA Caused a Modification
In 2008, an individual taxpayer submitted a request to the IRS for a private letter ruling (PLR) after learning that her non-taxable transfer earlier that year of a part of her IRA resulted in a prohibited "modification" of the "substantially equal periodic payments" plan she had been taking from that IRA since 2002. The taxpayer had completed the transfer on the advice of a financial advisor who suggested she invest a portion of the IRA in certificates of deposit, which were not available at the current financial institution, but which were available for IRAs at another institution. After opening another IRA at the other institution, the taxpayer transferred a part of her original IRA. Later the same year, the taxpayer consulted with representatives of a third financial institution about the possible transfer of the remaining IRA assets and was informed that the prior transfer constituted a "modification" of her series of substantially equal periodic payments. In later speaking with her financial advisor she was told that the transfer would cause the imposition of the 10% early withdrawal tax, plus interest, on all amounts that had been withdrawn from the IRA since 2002.
Early Distribution Penalty Applies Retroactively
The taxpayer was age 56, and had begun taking substantially equal periodic payments from the IRA six years earlier at age 50, in 2002. IRC 72(t)(1) imposes a 10% tax on early distributions from qualified plans and IRAs. However, the tax is not imposed if the distributions are part of a series of "substantially equal periodic payments" that are made at least annually over the life (or life expectancy) of the employee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the employee and beneficiary. But, if the payments are modified (other than by reason of death or disability) before the individual reaches age 59-1/2, or after the individual reaches age 59-1/2 but before the close of the 5-year period beginning with the first payment, then the taxpayer is obligated to pay the 10% early withdrawal tax that would have been imposed on the earlier payments, plus interest.
"Substantially equal periodic payments" are calculated by using the account balance as of the first valuation date selected. Therefore, as the IRS explained in the letter ruling, a modification occurs if there is any (1) addition to the account balance other than gains or losses, (2) nontaxable transfer of a portion of the account balance to another retirement plan or IRA, or (3) rollover of the amount received so that it results in the distribution not being taxable.
Error Cannot Be Corrected by Reversing the Transfer
As a result, despite the fact that the transfer was made on the basis of erroneous advice from her financial advisor, and the taxpayer had proposed to correct the error by transferring the amount back to the original IRA, the IRS ruled that a "modification" had occurred and could not be corrected by undoing the transfer. Since the modification occurred in 2008, before the taxpayer reached age 59-1/2, she was obligated for that year to pay an additional 10 percent early distribution tax on the distributions she had taken from the IRA since 2002, plus interest.
It seems sort of unfair to the taxpayer since it was the result of incorrect professional advice and since she offered to restore the funds to their original position. This does underscore the importance of good advice before taking action in the more esoteric areas of practice. The rules really are quite clear, but not too many people take action under the SEPP provisions of 72(t) and as a consequence even many advisors are not clear on the rules.

After the big bang
Kansas public school students are back in the classroom following last month's brouhaha. The Kansas Board of Education did not ban the teaching of Darwinism, nor did it mandate creationism. But by simply leaving the matter up to local school districts, Kansas has sparked a national dialogue on evolution education
Heading west across State Line Road-the street that separates Johnson County, Kan., from Kansas City, Mo.-an outsider to the area could be forgiven for saying, "Toto, I don't think we're really in Kansas yet."
Instead of wheat fields and farmhouses, this part of the sunflower state sports bustling shopping centers, prosperous suburban subdivisions, office parks with thriving small businesses, and the national headquarters for Sprint.
It might surprise that same outsider to learn that this part of Kansas-more than the rural areas or small towns for which the state is famous-is now ground zero for the battle over the teaching of evolution in public schools. Rural forces were divided in the Kansas Board of Education's controversial 6-4 vote last month to exclude evolution from statewide tests. But both of suburban Johnson County's board members, including board chairman Linda Holloway, voted with the majority, as did the member representing Wichita, the state's other large concentration of population.
But the suburban element isn't all that's counter-intuitive about the Kansas vote. It's also surprising that what the Kansas board did became a national controversy at all. The board did not outlaw nor even discourage the teaching of evolution. It did not mandate nor even encourage the teaching of creationism. The board simply left the matter up to local districts.
As part of a periodic revision of standards for statewide tests, a committee of science educators appointed by the state commissioner of education rewrote standards that had been in place since 1995, subject to the approval of the 10-member state Board of Education. The proposed standards significantly added to the evolution language of the previous standards, emphasizing that macro-evolution by natural selection-the theory that unguided gradual changes over billions of years led to the creation of new species-is "a broad, unifying theoretical framework in biology." The proposed standards left out any reference to evidence against the theory.
That proposal was unacceptable to the board, as well as to many Kansas communities that held public forums about the document. The board and the science teachers attempted to negotiate a compromise and when that failed, the board simply removed mentions of macro-evolution from the standards. The board's action wasn't nearly as aggressive as Alabama's decision a few years ago to include an anti-Darwinian insert in biology textbooks. "I don't really think we did that much," John W. Bacon, a board member from southern Johnson County, told WORLD. "I would be frankly surprised if any district throws out evolution," says Mrs. Holloway.
But that didn't stop the national press from going berserk, with The New York Times giving the story front-page status, and even European newspapers trumpeting the news. "The reason they are in such a funk is that they perceive a serious public protest against the established religion of scientific naturalism," says Phillip Johnson, an outspoken critic of Darwinism.
Much of the news coverage was simply inaccurate. Headline writers seemed to have particular problems getting the story straight. "Charles Darwin gets thrown out of school" screamed U.S. News & World Report, while a New Orleans Times-Picayune headline read, "Kansas schools' ban on evolution blasted." Syndicated columnist Lars-Erik Nelson scolded the board for wanting "to foist its own religious beliefs on the secular educational system of an entire state."
The notoriety was too much for the local Kansas City Star. "Kansas is a national joke this week, and it's your fault, Johnson County," wrote the Star's Mike Hendricks. He worried that now "the nation thinks Kansans pick banjos with their bare feet." Another Star columnist, after describing in detail how a citizen could file to run against Mrs. Holloway in 2000, finished with a jab at the board: "You don't even need a high school degree [to run]. Now there's a shock."
Even some opponents of Darwinism were critical of the Kansas board's vote. "They identify the problem, but not the solution," says John Wiester of the American Scientific Affiliation (ASA), a group of Christian scientists based in Ipswich, Mass. "The solution is to teach more [about evolution], like the unsolved problems and unanswered questions that are at variance with the theory," he told WORLD.
Michael Behe, a biochemist at Lehigh University and prominent critic of Darwinism, sounded a similar note in an op-ed for The New York Times: "Teach Darwin's elegant theory. But also discuss where it has real problems accounting for the data, where data are severely limited, where scientists might be engaged in wishful thinking and where alternative-even 'heretical'-explanations are possible."
But Mrs. Holloway and Mr. Bacon don't disagree. "Evolution is an important theory and I don't want any kids to be ignorant of it," Mrs. Holloway told WORLD. "I think it's important and that students need to know it, but everything about it, not just evidence for it," says Mr. Bacon.
The question in Kansas as in the rest of the country, then, isn't whether evolution should be taught, but how it should be taught, and who decides.
Darwinism's critics insist that unresolved problems with the theory should make their way into the classroom. One such problem is what Mr. Behe calls "irreducible complexity." Examining life at the molecular level, Mr. Behe notes that all of the parts of a cell have to be in place before it can function properly, a phenomenon at odds with the Darwinian concept of gradual evolution.
He compares the working of a cell to that of a mousetrap. Take away any one of the parts-the wooden platform, the metal hammer, the spring, the catch, or the bar that holds the hammer back-and the trap becomes useless. Such interdependence suggests that the trap couldn't have evolved blindly, because a part of a mousetrap doesn't catch mice. Cells, Mr. Behe argues, are the same. "Similarly, you can't start with a signal sequence and have a protein go a little way towards a lysosome, add a signal receptor protein, go a little further, and so forth. It's all or nothing at all," he writes in his book Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution.
The "Cambrian explosion" presents another challenge to Darwinian evolution, or at least to natural selection as its mechanism. According to Darwin, all of the various species evolved slowly over very long periods of time through slight mutations. The fossil record, however, shows complex life suddenly appearing. Mathematicians also have long argued simply that not enough time has passed to allow for all of the gradual mutations that Darwinists say have taken place.
Darwinists may one day propose new answers to these problems, but the fact that such objections exist at all would be news to many American high school students. Very few textbooks mention them; instead Darwinism is presented as a biological and historical fact. Examples of micro-evolution, or variations that have developed within species, are presented as evidence for macro-evolution, the more speculative idea that such mutations have led to entire new species.
Critics of Darwinian education also object to textbooks making naturalistic claims that are based more on atheistic ideology than science. For instance, Prentice Hall's Biology tells students that "it is important to keep this concept in mind: Evolution is random and undirected." (Bold in the original.) According to Addison-Wesley's Biology Concepts and Connections, "Chance has affected the evolutionary process in the generation of genetic diversity through mutation. Chance has also played a role at every major milestone in the history of life."
For the members of the Kansas board, an equally important matter was who would decide what is taught. On an issue this controversial, board members decided, parents and school districts should make the call. Mr. Bacon didn't want parents concerned about Darwinian teaching to be told by local school boards: "Sorry, we can't help you because our hands are tied by the state." Mrs. Holloway objected to what she saw as the attitude of the state science committee: "Give us your kids and get out of the way."
Only time will tell how well their insistence on local control will go over with their suburban constituency. Johnson County has long been a bastion of Republicanism, but lately has become a battleground between moderates and conservatives. Moderate Republican Jan Meyers represented the Johnson County-dominated Third Congressional District for 12 years, but a growing evangelical population narrowly elected Christian conservative Vince Snowbarger to the seat in 1996. Then a moderate backlash gave former District Attorney Dennis Moore enough momentum to win a squeaker against Mr. Snowbarger in 1998, the first time in 40 years this district sent a Democrat to Capitol Hill. Johnson County conservatives are regrouping and the national GOP plans to make Mr. Moore a prime target in 2000. The board's decision will only add fuel to this raging fire.
But nationwide, the sound and fury generated by the Kansas decision may be sparking movement toward compromise on the issue of evolution education. Most of the major presidential candidates-including Al Gore-said the decision about how to teach evolution should be made at the local level, an implicit endorsement of the Kansas board's vote.
Even some science educators may be willing to give some ground. The Science Education Commission of the American Scientific Affiliation put together a statement about the teaching of evolution that it advises governing bodies to adopt. "The State Board of Education and the local boards of education shall ensure that evolution is taught as science, not as ideology," the statement reads. "The State Board of Education and the local boards of education shall encourage teachers to make distinctions between the multiple meaning of 'evolution,' to distinguish between philosophical materialism and authentic science, and to include unanswered questions and unresolved problems in their presentations."
WORLD faxed this statement to the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT), asking if it could accept such language. "The NABT supports the position of the ASA," said Wayne Carley, the group's executive director. He told WORLD that science and religion are different spheres: "Science shouldn't be taught as religion and religion shouldn't be taught as science."
Can't we all just get along? If NABT members this year will present the holes in Darwinian theory as conscientiously as many overlooked them last year, biology classes just might evolve. But change is unlikely to come easily.

UPDATE: South Beloit fire crews say a fire at the Behr recycling plant produced methane gas explosions upon arrival.
The fire started inside the building. 13 area fire departments were called in to assist.
The plant was not in operation at the time. It is believed the temperature rose too high in the building for some of the metals, sparking a fire. About $10,000 is estimated in total damage.
SOUTH BELOIT (WIFR) -- A fire has been reported at a recycling plant in South Beloit.
Emergency crews began responding around 4 a.m. to the site located in the 200 block of Wheeler Avenue. Heavy smoke was reported when crews were first arriving on scene.
Crews remain on the scene at this time.

Energy Supply Problems Create Unprecedented Interest for Home Power Generators
But rushing out to buy a generator after the power is out is not the best course of action; using a portable home generator to the best advantage requires a little advance planning. The experts at Honda Power Equipment, which produces some of the world's quietest and most dependable generators for home and recreational use, offer safety tips and user information to help consumers make a safe, affordable transition from utility power to portable power.
Download High Resolution
Photo and Video Here
"As with anything else, the first step is preparation, knowing your needs and budget," said Tom Pernice, a Product Planner with Honda Power Equipment. Since home generators range in capacity from 1,000 watts to more than 10,000 watts, a homeowner should understand his or her electricity requirements and estimate the real needs during an emergency. Refrigerators or freezers will run on about 700 watts, but need as much as 2,200 watts to start, while the average computer draws 600 to 800 watts. So the power to run a refrigerator, minimal lighting and a computer or TV set could require a generator that delivers 2,500 watts or more. Consumers can find helpful tables and charts at the web site www.honda.com, and can match basic needs with a generator in the same power range.
Once the generator is delivered, the next step is connecting it to the house through a transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician. The switch serves as a breaker device that cuts off the utility power source while the generator is in operation, and limits the number of pre-selected appliances powered by the generator. When the utility power is restored, the generator and transfer switch are disconnected and turned off so that the two power sources do not collide. However, in a pinch, a high quality extension cord and power strip may be used temporarily. A generator must never be plugged, or back fed, into a standard household outlet. "If you want to operate the generator safely, these are rules that cannot be overlooked," Pernice said.
The Honda generator line, including the EU3000is, and the EM5000SXK1A, as well as the all-new i-Deluxe models, the EM5000is and the EM7000is, offer variable wattages and other features, such as inverter technology or automatic voltage regulators that protect the generator and electric tools from damaging power surges, large fuel tanks, full frame protection, and electric starters. Consumers can match their needs and budgets with these and other options.
A generator can be stored in a garage or vented storage area away from flame or sparks, but it must be operated outside. Because portable generators run on gasoline, they must never be operated in a confined area like a basement or garage, or near windows or air intake vents. Most home generators have gas tanks with a three to five gallon capacity, which can provide five to eight hours of electricity, depending on the load being powered.
Honda generators are designed to deliver high quality electricity to power
an expansive range of home and professional equipment, even computers and other
sensitive electronic devices. All of Honda's generators are among the
world's quietest, powered by advanced Honda four-stroke engines that meet
or exceed all EPA requirements and the more stringent standards of the California
Air Resources Board (CARB.)
Whether a power outage occurs in winter or summer, and lasts for a few hours or a few days, a portable generator won't normally replace all of the electricity provided by the local power company. But it can make life a lot more comfortable and safe until the utility power is restored. More information on generators and generator safety is available at www.honda.com.

Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez Opens Up About Falling Out With Demi Lovato: "I'm So Happy To Have Her Back"
A few years ago, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato were thick as thieves — but for awhile, it seemed like the BFFs had grown apart. So what really went wrong? For the first time, Selena's sharing the truth behind their falling out, and what made her put the relationship back together again.
"I've known her since we were seven, and we did fall apart for awhile," Selena admitted to Seventeen magazine. "She was going through things and I was so young and it was confusing. I processed it saying, 'Okay, I don't understand what she's going through so I'm just going to do this.' I don't think it was fair, and I'm so happy that I have her back in my life now."
And although Selena initially didn't know how to handle it when Demi checked into rehab four years ago, her best friend skills kicked into gear and she managed to come through for Demi in the end, like any real bestie would. Selena even recently supported Demi by joining her at a recovery group meeting.
"I feel like we're all given what we can handle, and clearly someone thought she could handle so much — and she could, and she did," Selena said. "And she's incredible for that. I couldn't imagine going through some of the things she went through, and the fact that she is who she is today is insane — she's one of my inspirations."
And judging by the sales of Demi's book, Staying Strong: 365 Days a Year, we'd say that Selena's not the only one who's inspired by her.
"Demi's very, very strong," Selena added. "She's the only person that I would tell the deepest, darkest secrets to. The only person."

Sunday marks the 40th anniversary of the youngest U.S. serviceman, a native of Goldsboro in Wayne County, to die in Vietnam.
Dan Bullock was just 14 years-old when he enlisted in the Marines. He changed his birth certificate in 1968 so he could join the Marine Corps and fight in the war. One year later, at age 15, he was killed.
Private First Class Bullock died as he ran for a second time to get ammunition for his unit that was under attack.
Bullock's tombstone now sits in the Elmwood Cemetery in Goldsboro to honor the fallen hero. It was actually paid for by former talk show host Sally Jesse Raphael. One of Bullock's fellow Marines worked for her show and shared his story.
A street in Brooklyn, New York, where Bullock moved at age eleven, is named in his honor.

Be forewarned: These spring rolls are massively addictive! What's more, they're really fun to make. I like preparing them when guests come over – getting all the ingredients ready, then let the guest make their own.
My recipe for spring rolls can be varied a lot. It's a great way to use up some fresh veggies or to get kids to eat vegetables that they might not ordinarily eat.
The roll itself is a round rice paper wrapper. When dry, they're delicate and breakable, but when you immerse them in water they become soft and pliable. I buy them from health food store and sometime see them in larger supermarkets. They're easy to find in Asian markets (well, that was kind of obvious).
Is Rice Paleo?
I've received comments on other recipes questioning the use of rice on a paleo diet. In the past, paleo enthusiasts placed more emphasis on keeping carbohydrates really low, but some people started to question this practice, notably Chris Kresser and Paul Jaminet.
The fact is the exact same diet is not suitable for everyone. Some people only lose weight when they reduce carbs to a minimum. But not everyone, myself included, feels great eating a very low carb diet. The important thing is to steer clear of unhealthy carbs (grains, legumes) and to find the level of carb intake that works best for you. Personally, I do eat rice, (in smaller portions than in my pre-paleo days) as well as potato (like in this potato stir fry) and sweet potato (like this delicious dish).
Paleo Spring Rolls
You can totally play around with the ingredients that go into the spring rolls. A lot of the flavor comes from the dipping sauce, so experiment with the ingredients. I'm giving approximate quantities for four people.
1. Prepare chicken or egg
Cut 2 chicken breasts into very small slivers and stir fry them with a few drips of soy sauce for color.
Beat 2 eggs with a ½ tablespoon of soy sauce. Stir fry on high heat, mixing and "cutting" the egg into pieces with a flat wooden spatula. Stir fry until completely dry. The end result looks a lot like stir-fried chicken breast.
2. Veggies
I make sure to include:
finely chopped cabbage (unless I use sauerkraut)
grated carrots
green onions or chives
You can also use:
slivered bell peppers
thin strips of cucumber
sliced mushrooms (though the taste gets a bit lost in the mix)
grated radish
slivered kohlrabi
whatever other fresh vegetables you have handy
Especially delicious:
I always add coriander or sauerkraut when I have them in the house, though I don't think I'd use both at the same time.
Dipping Sauce
5 cloves garlic, crushed
1 ½ inch peeled ginger, finely grated
8 tbsp. organic, gluten free soy sauce
3 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp. honey
1 tsp. sesame oil
Very finely chopped green onion or chives (optional, but looks nice)
Mix the ingredient together.
How to Assemble Spring Rolls
Don't do all the work! Get everyone to make their own. Here's how.
