Will Smith's 12 Yr-old Daughter Sings about "Summer Fling"
Twitter fans are outraged about the new song and music video from Will and Jada Smith's daughter Willow, 12. Many believe her song "Summer Fling" is inappropriate for a girl her age.
Although the song makes no overt references to sex, critics cite the title and suggestive lyrics such as "You tell me that I'm the one, I tell you it's just for fun" and "It's only for the summer, but we do it anyway" as disturbing.
The Urban Dictionary, a source for slang references, defines a fling as a "deliberately short-term sexual relationship between two people. Longer than a one-night stand, not as serious-sounding as 'affair'."
In the music video, the pre-adolescent starlett flirts around with a love interest at a pool party. Everyone in the video appears older than her including brother Jaden who appears as an extra.
MTV Comedian Jamie Lee mocks the song on Twitter, appearing to blame Willow's alleged Scientology upbringing. "That new Willow Smith song is really disturbing. 'It's only for the summer, but we do it anyway.' That's bc she starts Sea Org in the Fall." she tweeted.
Football analyst Randy Cross also tweeted, "YIKES!! 12?"
Comments on YouTube where the video were equally critical. One wrote "This is just pure disgusting. Be a [expletive] 12 year old and stop trying to grow up too fast." Another wrote "Hey Will, ever heard about parenting?"
Child/teen development specialist Dr. Robyn Silverman told Yahoo! Music Willow's song may be a reflection of tween cuture. "Many kids are growing up faster than is appropriate, and perhaps her video is a perfect chance for parents to talk to their children about this," she told the search engine's Music site.
Entertainment news website E! has quoted Will Smith as saying that he and wife Jada do not punish their children but rather exercise a relaxed parenting style that gives their children "as much control over their lives as possible."
Willow's acting parents have encouraged their daugther's singing career since she released her first single, "Whip My Hair" in 2010. She has since followed it up with "Fireball" and "21st Century Girl" in 2011.

Bobby Bradford comes to Dallas on March 24th
Legendary trumpeter Bobby Bradford, who played with Fort Worth expats Ornette Coleman and John Carter, comes to Beefhaus, 885 Exposition Ave. in Dallas, on Monday, March 24th. He'll be leading a quartet including Ingebrigt Haker Flaten (bass), Frode Gjerstad (alto sax), and Frank Rosaly (occupying the drum chair normally held by Pal Nilssen-Love in this unit), with Yells At Eels opening.
Bradford played with Ornette in the '50s, '60s, and '70s. Sadly, the recordings they made for Atlantic were lost in a fire, but you can hear Bradford on OC's albums Science Fiction and Broken Shadows. He co-led a quartet with Carter from 1970 until the clarinetist's death in 1991. In the last decade, I've heard him on Nels Cline's Andrew Hill homage New Monastery (Cline composed a piece dedicated to Bradford that he recorded with Dennis Gonzalez on 1991's The Earth and the Heart) and the archival Midnight Pacific Airwaves on Entropy. This is a gig not to miss.

Starting off music at a very tender age which led him to becoming the Music Director of his choir, Sean Keller has surely set foot on a path to being regarded as 2017's Nigerian music industry greenhorn and rightfully so as he issues an excellent single titled "Shake 'Em Off" (a self-produced cut with co-production credits going to Frankie Free) with accompanying visuals as directed by Irok Viralz.
Signed on to Killarh Music Conglomerate, Sean Keller is an Afro-pop/R&B recording artiste who hails from Edo state, Nigeria. The Ambrose Alli University graduate of Accounting has coursed through music in different paths, a few of which led him to making an appearance on the 2007 edition of Star Quest, and also the 2009 edition of the Peak Talent Show, both of which he impressed on.
Shot on location in Lagos environs, especially around Surulere and Oniru Beach, Sean Keller delivers a feel-good video which is just reminiscent of the song's nature.
Listen up, watch and share your thoughts on "Shake 'Em Off" from Sean Keller as the Killarh Music Conglomerate recording artiste is set to put out more good music in the year 2017 and beyond.

I was there
OK, I was watching on TV, but I've never come closer to becoming a player collector than in the moments immediately after witnessing Bartolo Colon hit a home run.
Colon is now my lasting answer for ending the DH forever.
I really need more of his cards.
8 comments:
I know Thor grabs most of the N.Y. eyes, but I love watching Big Bart, pitching or hitting. That's entertainment, right there.ReplyDelete
Probably has some Expos cards out there too.ReplyDelete
I am glad to hear that there were real eyewitnesses to this event, I was about to strap on a tin-foil batting helmet and assume Topps faked the whole thing to sell more Topps Now cards. And yes, I ordered one. Jeez! Colon hit a home run! That's what Topps Now is for! I'm guessing series 2 and/or update will have several cards commemorating this event.ReplyDelete
I will pull some Colon cards for you. I'm sure I have plenty.ReplyDelete
Wow! Not only was there a Topps NOW card for Bartolo's home run, the print run absolutely demolished the previous print run high. Jake Arrieta's No Hitter was the previous leader, with a print run of 1808. Bartolo's home run finished its 24 hour order period with a print run of 8,826!ReplyDelete
Huge fan of Colon. I loved watching him pitch in Oakland... but glad he was able to get paid and continue his success as a Met.ReplyDeleteReplies
Bartolo was fun to watch when he was in Oakland, and still fun to watch. I was unhappy that he was not resigned as I believe the A's thought he didn't have much left in the tank because he was about 39 at the time.Delete

By TONY STINNETT
The end of an era in Cannon County girls basketball was realized when Lionette great Abbey Sissom played her final game in the TSSAA Girls State Tournament last week.
Sissom capped her career with 2,606 points - second all-time at Cannon County - and Class AA Miss Basketball.
Those numbers are not what define Sissom.
Humility, being a team player and being great when everyone expected it, most tried to stop it and, yet, she still delivered.
Funny how both Sissom and former standout Julie Powell (who is Cannon County's all-time leading scorer with 2,894 points) are regarded as team players yet they took more shots and scored more points than any other Lionette to ever play the game in any era.
It is most likely because teammates realized they were playing with a special player. They only come around every so often.
Fans certainly realized how blessed they were to be entertained by a player who competed with class and grace during a sensational four-year career.
Sissom helped lead the Lionettes to three state tournaments and 117 wins in four seasons. She racked up many individual accolades along the way, including being named a three-time Miss Basketball Finalist.
Fans certainly will miss Sissom's performances. District 8-AA coaches will not.
Odds are Powell's 2,894 point total will never be broken. Sissom's 2,606 likely will not be surpassed either.
Lionettes fans have been fortunate to see many good players through the years.
Powell and Sissom were two of the great ones. Numbers reveal it but their legacy assures it.

Band Biography
Striking out from Belfast on a raft of youthful enthusiasm and with a sound built upon strong founding influences such as Fleetwood Mac and Oceansize through to Opeth and The Mars Volta; instrumental act Kasper Rosa have been moving from strength to strength since the release of their first EP. Packing out the launch night at the Spring & Airbrake and receiving merits from BBC Northern Ireland's Across The Line and Introducing radio shows. Coming out of the blocks fast they supported Sub Pop Records' Seattle favourites Earth at just their third ever gig, adding quickly to their growing impact on the circuit with a tour alongside English rockers Alright The Captain. All this whilst still being just a few months free of their creative womb.
From their conception in April 2009 Dave Shannon, James Bruce, John Ryan McCormick and Steven Butler have been increasingly getting involved with various fronts on the music battle zone. Regularly seen out DJing, the band have also taken part in a Nirvana Unplugged tribute and performed at the launch night of the popular Skinny Love club. On the media side of things they have been asked to record live sessions with Rory McConnell's BBC Introducing and Stephen McAuley's Electric Mainline; whilst also gaining the attention of compilation releases and pod-casting opportunities over at Bandwidth Films, Live @ Serc Mapa and NIChart.
This coming May, Kasper Rosa are set to perform their most prestigious show to date, adding their particular brand of honed noise to 65daysofstatic's Mandela Hall show in Belfast on the 14th. Throughout the rest of 2010 Kasper Rosa will be touring their wares extensively along the length and breadth of the UK. Early June sees the band combining their sonic forces with close friends A Plastic Rose to take on the mainland; whilst short Irish tours alongside Axis Of and Ozric Tentacles are pencilled in for late June and October respectively keeping the home audiences well in sight on their radar. October will also see the band take to the stage for another performance at club night Skinny Love in Auntie Annies; pairing up with fellow Field Records' act Maybeshewill. Capping off their plans thus far for the year is their participation at and co-organizing of the first mini-festival in a six year running annual celebration called 'Cosby Fest', which is set to kick off in July.

Halfway there!!! I had my second ultrasound this week to check baby and make sure everything looks ok which thankfully it does. This appointment was way in depth for his brain, heart, etc so it was so fun seeing him again and I had Owen and Chris come with me so Owen was so excited "baby brudder" was on the screen even though every time we go to the doc he thinks he'll see him.
I've been feeling baby a lot more and get hiccups. He's breeched so he needs to flip. I'm sleeping great, eating normal and sleeping is a little more uncomfortable but I still sleep well. If I have a craving, carmel apples would be it. I bought a thing of carmel so I wouldn't spend tons of money at Rocky Mountain lol. I've been taking Owen to the museum and other places and staying busy and moving and painting.

An Eerie Resemblance. Written by Johnston M. Mitchell.
I posted the below writing by my husband, Johnston M. Mitchell, because of the fountain of information it delivers about my work.
An Eerie Resemblance.
A prefacing thought: I am hesitant in writing this post as the husband of the contemporary artist about to be compared to the world's most renowned artist. But, here goes.
During the 10 years that our gallery has been operating, I have heard many visitors' comment along the line of, "They (the paintings) remind me of Van Gogh."
While many distinctions between Van Gogh and my wife can be made, some common traits do exist.
Subject matter. Sun-drenched summer landscapes. Autumn's fields at harvest. Sunflowers. Iris. And Poppies.
Palette. Van Gogh pushed ahead of his fellow artists and experimented with brighter hues. He used color to seize on his mood and emotions. "Instead of trying to paint exactly what I see before me, I make more arbitrary use of color to express myself more forcefully," Van Gogh said.
Brenda – well she loves her reds, and her colors some times seem almost neon. She, too, uses color to shape mood and a viewer's interpretation. Inside art history, Brenda's joyous use of brighter colors resembles the Fauves, who followed Van Gogh as part of the Expressionist movement. Put yourself behind Brenda's eyes. Think of when you've gone inside a building too quickly on a bright summer day and your eyes didn't adjust. A kaleidoscope of colors erupts and overwhelms you. You squint. Your eyes get lost in a glare.
Mark Making. Some characteristics of Brenda's mark making parallel those of Van Gogh. There is the forceful or almost sculpted mark making like Impasto – a thick layer of paint that adds a third dimension, reveals the artist's expressiveness, and helps the artist control how light plays out on the painting itself. Other common mark making techniques include being "painterly" … the use of raw brush strokes; the layering of strokes to create undertones and depth; and the use of outlining and underpainting to create texture and contrast. All of these traits somehow have made their way through fine art's timeline to Brenda's brush.
Painting on location, now referred to as Plein Air or Air Alfresco. Van Gogh took to painting outside when pigments became available in tubes. The invention of the portable easel also played a part in moving artists to paint on location. Brenda uses an old suitcase to store and haul her paints, and uses an easel for larger canvas works. When it comes to painting small to medium size wood pieces or on arches paper (taped to masonite board), Brenda likes propping these up on a folding vinyl chair. She likes being able to see the perspective that she is painting at all times, rather than looking around to either side.
Brenda on location at the Treat Farm south of Empire, Michigan.
Detail of her painting at the Treat Farm.
Brenda on location in Leelanau County, Michigan on Jelinek Road.
Tempo. Some say Van Gogh was manic, while a new study of his works suggests that he was more so very methodical and goal-oriented. Brenda prefers to paint quickly. Her faster pace produces a spontaneity that drives her emotions and helps her capture a scene before the light or weather changes.
Being Prolific. Van Gogh's production continues to astound people. During the last couple years of his life, he completed many of his most famous paintings. In all, he produced over 2,100 works. Brenda certainly can be prolific. Currently, she is painting the dormant farms and homesteads in the Port Oneida Historic Rural District within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Leelanau County, Michigan. During one span a few weeks back, she painted five of these farmscapes, medium to large size, in as many days. She usually paints four to five times a week during summer and fall, and continues to paint outside in the elements throughout winter and spring.
Van Gogh's included Paul Gauguin and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. And Brenda? Well… one spring day several years ago our largest patron was visiting the gallery prior to purchasing his collection of Brenda's work. He was searching to learn more about Brenda's background and asked, "Do you have any contemporaries?"
In her down-to-earth, almost naïve Midwestern way, Brenda replied, "No, not really."
"Really!" he responded with just a little bit of astonishment tucked inside his British accent.
"Well, there's Van Gogh," she said modestly.
Not a bad contemporary, even if a century passed between their lives.

HOUSTON — One thing Dan Otero knew for sure was that he hadn't ever allowed a home run in a major league game.
Now he knows a second thing for sure.
"I never should have thrown the pitch," Otero said of his first throw to Jose Altuve in the seventh inning of Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Astros.
Altuve, all 5-foot-5 of him, took a big hack and launch the ball 346 feet, about one foot farther than need to record his first home run of the season.
It ended Otero's major league best streak of 632/3 innings to start his career without having allowed a long ball.
—I knew I'd never given one up, of course" Otero said. "What I didn't know was exactly how many innings it was. It had been a long time.
The A's would have been surprised if Altuve had merely hit allowed foul ball. That's how used they've become to Otero being the master of the situation.
Not only has he spent the last year plus avoiding home runs, but he's proven to be one of the most consistently little reliable middle and setup relievers in the game.
He came into Sunday with a 0.73 ERA for the season and a 2.12 ERA for his career.
And he had certain expectations where the inevitable first home run was concerned.
"If it was going to go, it should have gone 800 feet," he said. "I don't mind if it's (Albert) Pujols, but now I've got to say the first one was hit by a guy who is 5-foot-4."
Altuve, a second baseman, is listed at 5-foot-5, but Otero's point was made. He simply thought the first homer, whenever it came, would have come off the bat of a more prodigious offensive force.

Officials considering ordinance for medical marijuana facilities
By LISA BOWERS Journal Ishpeming Bureau NEGAUNEE – After months of consideration and requests for public input, Negaunee Township may be closer to deciding whether licensed medical marijuana businesses will have a place there. At its regular meeting Tuesday, the Negaunee Township Planning Commission scheduled a joint meeting with the Negaunee Township Board within the next month to discuss whether to craft an ordinance that would allow medical marijuana facilities to operate within township jurisdiction under the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act, a packet of Michigan laws that will go into effect Dec. 15. "Ultimately, the result of the meeting was to request a joint meeting with the township board, some time in October to discuss and hopefully decide whether to opt in or opt out of allowing licenses in the township," Negaunee Township Planning Administrator Nick Leach said. Under the new set of laws, medical marijuana facilities would be subject to a licensing scheme similar to that of liquor licenses, Leach said. The MMFLA, consisting of Public Acts 281, 282 and 283 of 2016 clarifies and adds to the state's 2008 voter-approved Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, according to a Michigan Municipal League fact sheet. Other actions include legalizing marijuana-infused products for medicinal use; create a "seed-to-sale" tracking system to ensure marijuana dispensed to patients has been tested for safety; and creating a medical marijuana excise fund in the state treasury that will allocate revenue from fees, fines and charges to local units of government and law enforcement, the fact sheet states. The laws technically went into effect Dec. 20, 2016, but included an additional delay in the implementation to enable the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs to establish the licensing system required by the act. MMFLA will allow municipalities to regulate the location and number of medical marijuana growers, processors, provisioning centers, secure transporters and safety compliance facilities within their boundaries. It does not require a state license to operate as a primary caregiver under the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act, nor does it allow municipalities to prohibit operation as a primary caregiver, the fact sheet states. Under the law no one can apply to the state for a license of any kind under MMFLA until Dec. 15 and no one can apply for a state license unless the municipality has adopted an ordinance adopting that type of facility. "A municipality that wishes to allow these facilities must enact an ordinance specifically authorizing them," the fact sheet states. "If the municipality takes no action, none of the facilities are allowed." According to a Sept. 10 MLive article, several communities around the state are in the process of considering or enacting ordinances, with Lansing being the latest city to approve local regulations. The Lansing ordinance caps dispensaries at 25 in the city and requires a $5,000 local license fee with application. Negaunee Township is the only municipality in Marquette County to consider such an ordinance, Leach said. He cited months of research on the new laws as well as two public forums to collect residents' feedback on the matter as a basis for consideration. "We are still at the very first stages of this process," Leach said. Planning Commissioner Gary Wommer, who is also a Negaunee Township Board member, said officials are not pushing for or against a medical marijuana ordinance. "We have no leaning whatsoever, we are just trying to gather all the information that we can," Wommer said. "At the same time, it would be irresponsible not to at least consider it. Even if you keep these facilities out of Negaunee Township, out of Marquette County, obviously people are going to buy what they need, they are going to buy it somewhere," Wommer said. Although state licenses will still have to be acquired, Wommer said the type and number of medical marijuana based licenses issued within a certain municipality ultimately rests with the local government. "Not only can we say what kind of these types of businesses we want in the township, but we can limit how many," Wommer said. The law authorizes municipalities to charge an annual fee of up to $5,000 on licensed marijuana facilities to defray administrative and enforcement costs. Wommer said although the potential increase in annual revenue created by the licenses would be considered by township officials, it would not be the deciding factor in whether to allow the facilities. "We are not going to start something like this just because of the money that we can get back out of it," Wommer said. "We are more interested in people's health and welfare and what our township looks like than the dollars and cents." Leach said feedback at the public forum on Sept. 13, which was attended by dozens of local caregivers, allowed the planning commission to move forward. During the forum, Clay Hidding, a licensed caregiver from Marquette said allowing medical marijuana distributors locally would help both patients and caregivers find a legal supply. "I would not be someone who would be applying for or getting one of these licenses. But I just wanted to express how important I think it is that you consider this," Hidding said. "I think giving this a legal framework will make things a lot safer and will encourage people to do this responsibly. I think it's ridiculous for someone who has an illness to have to go out on the street and ask around. There is no clear way for these patients to find their medicine right now." Forsyth Township resident and medical marijuana patient Ron Pihlainen, said he benefitted from the use of medical marijuana during cancer treatment. In addition, it helped him with overcoming opioid addiction. "I have used it myself," he said. "I know that it heals many people. I want to give you credit because you are smart enough to think about it." Shannon Banner, manager of the Michigan State Police public affairs section, said her organization could not comment on any impacts the new laws might have on law enforcement until the Medical Marihuana Licensing Board establishes all the rules associated with it's implementation. "The new laws that will govern provisioning centers as part of the Medical Marihuana Facility Licensing Act are being determined by LARA and the newly appointed Medical Marihuana Licensing Board," Banner said in an email. "At this point the rules are still being developed, so I cannot offer you a law enforcement perspective." Numerous local law enforcement agencies were contacted for comment, but none was provided prior to press time. Marijuana remains illegal on the federal level. It is classified by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration as a Schedule 1 drug. The Schedule 1 designation means marijuana is defined by the 1970 Controlled Substances Act as a drug that has a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use in the United States. Other Schedule I drugs include heroin, LSD and ecstasy. Medical Marijuana is currently legal in 29 states. The joint meeting of the Negaunee Township Board and the Negaunee Township Planning Commission will likely take place some time in October and will be open to the public. Lisa Bowers can be reached at 906-228-2500, ext. 242. Her email address is email@example.com.

Woke up from bed in the morning with a smile on my face knowing that its another new day.
And its my also my 20th birthday :D
And what is that to do with this pictures?
To be honest, I wouldn't think the people in the pic would do this for me. Its not that they are not nice people, obviously they are. Its just that I have never expected this somehow. You might think its not a big deal by uploading just a simple pic as a birthday gift, but little things make big differences. You wouldn't know how much you would impact a person's life by just doing something which people would think its not necessary, or couldn't be bothered with.
I was completely astonished when I logged onto facebook and saw hundreds of greetings and particularly this pic, which was tagged by WeiNi [1st from right] on 2nd Nov, in the morning, uk time. Looking at the picture, it warm instantly right from the bottom of my heart. This pic speaks it all. I appreciate the love, care and effort, most importantly, thank God for HE has brought us together.
Every birthday marks the grace of God, it reminds us how much he loves, bless and strengthen us. Once again it brings to mind that God has been holding our hands all along the way since the day we were born.
p/s: Thanks again girls! May God bless all of you accordingly...love you all :))

|Same GMC as above and International R185 with 6 cylinder gas engine with 5&2 speed transmission. Both trucks were leased to Canusa Carriers. The International was sold by Andrew Skauge of Robsart, Saskatchewan, father-in-law to Ray Hilsen. Andrew Skauge was the International dealer for over 50 years. This could have been the largest truck he ever sold.
|Bob's 1994 Kenworth W900L with 425 Cat and 18 speed transmission.
|A page taken from the February 1973 issue of Overdrive Magazine showing Dave Wilkening's 1965 Mack B73 in the B-Line Express colors.
|Dave Wilkening's 1965 Mack B73 in the Burns Foods colors.
In 1965 Dave Wilkening purchased this 1965 Mack B73, as a non-sleeper truck with a 220 Cummins engine and a progressive triplex transmission. (This means that there was a 250 RPM split between each gear). Dave put 1.3 million miles on the Mack without overhauling the transmission or the rear ends. The engine was upgraded, first to a 262 hp by adding a turbo, and later replacing it with a 335 Cummins.
The truck originally was a 204 inch wheelbase on spoke wheels. The sleeper was added and the wheels where changed to Budds. Dave called this truck, "The Alligator" and hauled cement from Exshaw, Alberta to Maple Creek, Saskatchewan to start with, and then later with B-Line and Burns Foods. Dave had leased on to other carriers as well, but as these two photos depict, they were taken at the time he was leased to these companies.
The color photo was taken at Burns Foods in Calgary, Alberta, and the black and white photo was taken at a truck stop in Calgary. If you look closely at the black & white photo, you may see the louvers cut in the hood to allow hear from the 335 Cummins to escape.
Dave always kept meticulous care of his trucks and was always improving on them. Note the TK air conditioner on the roof.
Dave lives in Calgary now and he operates a truck services company.
In 1973 "The Alligator" was destroyed in a terrible crash at Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
|These pictures are of a 1956 Ford T750 owned by Ed Goett who at that time lived in Drumheller, Alberta. He was a WWII vetran who got into the trucking business in that area He did some general trucking and then branched into oilfield work. This truck was neatly set up for thetime but underpowered. Ed said that on a long move the fellows with diesel trucks would stop for the night, sleep and be up having breakfast when he arrived and he would eat with them and carry on. Ed made his living with trucks for many years and supported a large family with his business. Like many truckers he never became rich and famous but was a wonderful dad and a hard working man.
|An early 60's KW #5 owned by Hunt Transport of Burnaby and Edmonton. This truck had a 340 HP Cat V8 engine. High power for the time.
|1955 KW that was owned by McLean Service and Construction of Drumheller AB. and this was one of the first 5 trucks built in Burnaby in 1955 and bears the distinction of being the first on shipped from the factory at that time. If you look close at the black and white photo you will see that it has propane fuel tanks on it. It was powered by a Hall Scott engine and fired on propane. The thought was that since propane was very cheap at the time this was the way to go. In practice, a large truck loaded with a cat or oil field equipment had difficulty accessing propane outlets which were tucked behind little garages that were not open all the time, so after a little while it was converted over to gasoline. Even in those days of relatively cheap gas these engine burned lots of it so the engine was replaced with a 220 hp Cummins when the truck was still fairly new. The color photo shows how the truck was modified in about 1965 when it was lengthened and repowered with a 262 hp Cummins (by means of a turbo charger) and repainted.
|An early 60s Mack B75 owned by McLean Construction photo taken outside Western Mack In Calgary. This is the first diesel truck I ever drove-not for money just for the experience- but I'm glad I was allowed to.
|An old 40 something Mack that was owned first by Parge Brothers of Drumheller and later by Cecil McCarthur of Huxley AB and used to move buildings.
|Here are photos of a COE Ford that I owned powered by a V8 with a 5 and two speed axle ( I always wanted one of these until I owned one)
|These pictures show a 1965 Pete that I owned for 13 years the first photo is how it looked when I went to buy it and the second shows it after I cleaned it up a bit. It had a 250 Cummins and a 4X4 transmission. It was bought new by Pete Knight of Calgary as a single axle and he made a winch tractor out of it. When he needed a tandem he traded it on a new KW and the next owned tandemized this truck. It was pretty rough when I got it but not too bad mechanically.
|1978 Kenworth that I owned. It had a 290 Cummins and a 15 speed transmission.

Lately, I've been in a Boss Bitch mood.... what does that mean? Well, Boss was the first female rapper I heard that I wanted to BE like, not just be WITH.. Most people don't even know who Boss was, and that's a fucking shame, because before Boss, nobody was taking chicks seriously in the hardcore game. Boss was required listening for me every morning when I was a teen. I mean, Boss was talking MY shit. My favorite song on her album was "I Don't Give A Fuck". She even had an answering machine message on her album that I put on my answering machine... man, you should have heard the message I got from my Grandmother. It was almost as funny as the one Boss has of her mother on her album. Her single was "Deeper", produced by Def Jeff (the guy who's responsible for 'Hip Hop Harry', howz that for irony?).... y'all take a listen to what quality sounds like. This song stands up to anything that's out right now.
Did you listen to it? Deep, huh? I'm sorry to say that Def Jam didn't do a second album with Boss, and I think that's their loss. For those who know classic shit, they always say "Damn, wouldn't it be tight if Boss and Dre did an album together?" As a matter of fact, I've heard that Dr. Dre was actually looking for Boss. Well, I found her here on MySpace, and y'all should be making friends with Boss The Original
This woman was waaaaay ahead of her time, and I don't think anybody back then knew what to do with her. I saw and heard her as a major influence for me. If I had her CD right now, I'd have the whole thing on repeat and be playing the shit out of it to remember what it sounds like when a real artist puts it down. The irony is a lot of people came out of the woodwork and claimed that Boss was a 'studio gangster', when the truth is she lived in harm's way for a very long time just for the love of the music and for survival. That's why I really dug Boss' shit. I guess it's one of those things where I knew that was bullshit, but once rumors get started, haterz keep 'em moving.
Boss... if you're working on a comeback, I'm ready for ya... lets do this.

"The SIP has been put together by the Min of Budget & National Planning, and the Economic Management Team under the leadership of Vice President Professor Yemi Osinbajo.
The SIP will be both a source of info on government priorities for 2016, as well as a means of tracking progress.

It also outlines more than 30 Specific, Measurable Priority Actions to be completed across 6 Strategic Intervention Areas," it said in a series of tweets.

An opportunity has arisen for me to travel to the United States to help out with a large transformation using Scrumban (combining Scrum, Agile and Lean Kanban). CodeGenesys a company that specializes in consulting in this area has invited me to come over and help out with the transformation at a large Health Insurance company. CodeGenesys also make a online visualization board called ScrumDo which I have written about in the blog articles Managing work with ScrumDo – Part 1 and Managing work with ScrumDo – Part 2.
About Agile still operates and the courses and training are still available. They will be available on an as needed basis in Australia and elsewhere and will be subject to my availability. So inquiries are still welcome. I hope to give training in the United States as well. I will look to schedule public classes again after settling down in the US and the picture becomes clearer.
My relationship with CodeGenesys will be a symbiotic relationship. I hope to learn a lot from my secondment to the US and spread new knowledge on my return back to Australia. Training from CodeGenesys will be combined with the About Agile courses to offer a greater suite of courses.
These will combine with consulting and coaching to provide a full array of services to help out with transformations and ongoing improvement efforts.
My time in the US will be at least 6 months and depending on conditions could go on for longer.
Please stay in touch through my email address email@example.com. I tweet through the handle @n_zdunic.

I don't really want to make a long post about this, but I'll just say some of my thoughts. The series is starting to go downhill, both as a series and as an adaptation.
Yea that shit was intense. I'm still in shock too.
But portraying him as if he's some war badass is just unfaithful to him. It also makes his eventual escape from INSIDE the castle once the tide turns utterly implausible.
Its going to be a long wait till April next year...
Its going to be an even longer wait for April of 2014 when Book III is wrapped up in Season 4.

Oh ya ... one final tips. During my first attempt of baking this cake, I had sudden visit of guest. So, my Hubby and kids came down and asked for this and that. Whereas in this 2nd attempt, it was just my maid and me and we could bake the cake peacefully in the kitchen without any interruptions in the kitchen. This has proven right several times. We must have a calm and peaceful mind and not rushing and disturbed mind. The cake can sense the mood in the baker and react accordingly.

Ing Vanni:
Trainer and social worker at Social Services of Cambodia
What are the problems that youth often face?
The problems that they face are related to their daily activities such as school, relationships, love or material desires. I have observed that the most common problem youth have is love. The society often thinks that it is a small problem but for youth, but it is a big problem, and we can see that if they feel depressed about their love life it can lead to suicide, alcohol and drug use, or other activities that are dangerous to them and their family.
Who should youth take their problems to?
If it's about money, they always go to their family for clothes or other materials, but, in most cases, youth go to their friends first, because it can help reduce their stress. Everyone wants to find someone who is easy to communicate with, and youth are no exception. They tend to find the people the same age who can understand their circumstances and support their decisions. However, old people are often annoyed with problems of the youth which they consider insignificant.
In some universities, there are counselors who are there for youth who need to talk about their problems. They can share some advice or provide some possible solutions. Another way for youth to share their problems is by writing a letter about their problems and sending it to a magazine or calling a radio station to ask the experts for some comments.
Besides, there are some other stress-relief strategies like keeping a diary, doing exercises, shouting out loud and crying, but it really depends on the different commitment of each person.
How can the youth make sure they can trust that person?
It is important to be careful with your secrets because some individuals can spread your problems. The result is even more embarrassment, negative feelings and possibly dangerous behaviour. So youth must be their own judge of how much they can trust a person. Psychologists also have an ethical obligation not to tell other people about the conversations with their clients, so they can be a good option.
How can youths convince parents to listen to their problems?
Youth should realise that what their parents are telling them, even if it seems hurtful or accusatory, can often help them become a better person. Once they have accepted their parents' criticism, they should pull their parents aside when they are in a good mood and talk about their problems. What seems like a big problem can become a small one.
What is your suggestion regarding youth problem-solving?
It is common for people to feel like they have no clear path to deal with their problems, and sometimes there won't be anyone to talk with. It is necessary to try to increase their own capacity and understand their strengths and weak points to fight back at the problem. They should learn to solve a problem effectively so that they can stand strong instead of resorting to suicide or using drugs. We cannot expect someone else to be there for us all the time.
Mol Nimol, 21, a junior in the French department at the Institute of Foreign Languages and a senior at the National University of Management
What problems have you had in your life that have been difficult for you to talk about?
My problems have been with academics, particularly when I failed an exam and couldn't tell my parents. The reason was because I couldn't deal with the time constraints. It really hurt and shocked me since it was the first time I failed and I was so embarrassed in front of my friends. I cried for two days and, even though I knew that my parents wouldn't mind, it took half a month for me to tell them.
Who did you talk to about it?
I told my close friend who was also my roommate, but not my classmates because I didn't know how to tell them. I did not want to hide my problems at all because I knew it was the truth and I would have to acknowledge it sooner or later.
Seoun Chanphearun, freshman at Cambodian Mekong University and the Institute of Foreign Languages
What problems in your life have been difficult to talk about?
My greatest difficulty is my inability to control myself and follow through with my commitments. For example, I plan to review the lesson at a particular time; however, when the time arrives, I just watch a movie instead. This always happens to me, but I can't complain because I know it's my own fault.
Who did you talk to about it?
Eventually I took my problems to my lecturer. He said I should limit distractions and control myself as much as I can and eventually develop a habit. It is like reading a book that seems boring at first, but you eventually get into it and start to enjoy it. Since I worked on changing, I would say the frequency of this problem has gone from 80 percent of the time to 30 percent today.
Chhor Sophara, a sophomore at the Institute of Foreign Languages and an accounting graduate at the National University of Management
What problems have you had in your life that has been difficult for you to talk about?
In my second year at NUM, I decided to apply for an international study program at IFL although I did not know what it was about. It took a lot of time for me to realise that I was not wasting my time with international studies but actually improving my English and general knowledge.
Who did you talk about it?
I had no one but my friends to talk with. At first, I used to think that telling them would be shameful and reveal a secret, but my friends always came to me with their problems, so why not go to them?
