Metro Atlanta is attracting the most minority-run firms on a per capita basis, according to a survey of 52 metro areas released late Wednesday by Forbes magazine.
"The 'capital of black America' has become a buzzing hive of Hispanic and Asian immigrants and entrepreneurs," Forbes writes.
Baltimore, Nashville, Houston and Miami-Ft. Lauderdale round out the top five spots. The next five are the metro areas of Oklahoma City, Riverside-San Bernadino, Washington, D.C., Orlando and Phoenix.
Forbes looked at metro areas with populations of more than 1 million. It said metro Atlanta was No. 2 in self-employed minorities and No. 2 as an entrepreneurial region. Combined with a growing population, increasing household incomes and affordable housing, Atlanta took first place, Forbes said.
Metro Atlanta's foreign-born population nearly doubled — to 710,000 — between 2000 and 2008, Forbes said.
The magazine added, however, that "business leaders fear strict anti-immigration laws may choke off future growth."
In February, the U.S. Census Bureau released figures that showed black-owned businesses in metro Atlanta grew 99 percent between 2002 and 2007.
Forbes gave a "booby prize" to Milwaukee, which came in last. "The former beer-brewing capital ranks in the bottom eight — or worse — in self-employment among all three major minority groups," Forbes said.
Go to the Forbes website for the complete list and story. The magazine also profiles Rene Diaz, owner of Diaz Foods, a $200 million food-distribution business here.

Everyone, Everyone, raise your hand if you are surprised!!! We are in the blackest city in America, what do you expect? And why does this matter? How about a list of white run firms? Oh yea, that would be racist right?

Very true Destin Dawg. Before Atlanta became a black city, it was one of the best. Now, they have ruined Buckhead, added a ton of crime, etc. They can't run the schools or police. The list goes on and on. That kind of leadership just does not work.
March 23rd, 2011

Destin Dawg and Daniel would be considered rednecks in most situations, but not today. Today, we identify these two as racist or maybe even ignorant citizens. The article is not about who has ruined or what can't be run right. It is about the growth of business by minority groups in Metro Atlanta. Where are your minds? What type of failure are you guys dealing with? One thing for sure. This will never be the United States of America as long as we have people like you two trying to set a difference by contentious comments. What kind of money do you two chumps have? Are maybe that's it. You have no money, creativity, no brains, and you are sinners because of your envy.

@Daniel…%#$ are you talking about? The bars and clubs are long gone down in Atlanta. Real Estate 101 says if you want to live in a quite area, do your research and make sure you buy in a quiet area. However, some of "you" had the audacity to buy a plush condos above and across the street from clubs and bars only to complain. That's how "you" are, arrogant and brash..Whatever….
You continue vote down 1% and 2% tax increases to allow for the hiring of more police manpower and complain about crime. Whatever.
You run the clubs and bars out of the city, so you can create a "Rodeo Drive" like Shopping District only everything sits empty because the housing real estate bubble. The construction killed fott traffic to the area. Nobody wanted to park blocks away from shops and restaurant. ESPN Zone had to close once foot traffic died.
So now, you've got no Rodeo Drive shopping district, no clubs, no bars and nothing to do. Now there goes repeat revenue from beer licenses, liquor license, beer sales and liquor sales and you've got a city with no money. Whatever..
Keep complaining, the state under you and above you continue to crush you as they understand that the only color that matters is green.

There are so many haters on here. You had your time. Can we have ours. After all we built the south anyway. Did you think you was going to keep it after we built it. No even. Think again. But for the mature people. Im soo glad that we have that status; as its beautiful to see us flourish after all the things we've been through in the past. Its good to drive in a neighborhood full of big beautiful homes and cars because of hard from the city of ATL.

Articles like this are the "nail in the coffin" for ATL. The reality is the recession is deeping in ATL and our schools are in ruin and loosing credibility. All you have to do is see the stats on who is unemployed, loosing their homes, etc and realize the "minorities" are the ones in deep trouble, not truely part of rebuilding our economy. Our people's green comes in the form of plastic and and all thats fake.
So yes, lets enjoy this 15 minutes of fame brother and sisters. Reality sets in when the accolades die down, and trust me it will.

Daniel and others should note that the stats are for METRO Atlanta, not the City of Atlanta. So the comment that "Atlanta" is the blackest city in America is way off base. Metro Atlanta is more than 10 times the size of Atlanta and has a population that is proportionately far less black.
And the City of Atlanta is getting less black. Its population is now only about 53% black.
March 24th, 2011
6:57 am
If people like Daniel would read the article correctly maybe they would not be so upset. First of all, the article stated "minorities" not "blacks alone" (asians, hispanics, blacks and others (not whites) were running their own businesses and to be honest, what does it matter as long as the job is getting done, who is running it. It is a different world out here today, just be happy (or sad for Daniel's matter) that we are a part of it.

The Number One minority business in Alanta is "CRIME".
March 24th, 2011

I looked at the Forbes article. The writer confuses Atlanta and Metro Atlanta.
"In Atlanta, where half the residents are African American, a host of Hispanic and Asian entrepreneurs have set up shop over the last decade. Atlanta now boasts the second-highest percentage of self-employed minorities among the top 52 metropolitan areas with populations greater than 1 million."
The first sentence seems to refer to the central city. This municipality is about half black. And it is interesting that the writer stresses that this Atlanta is half black, and then tells us that the entrepreneurs are Hispanic and Asian.
The second sentence refers to the larger metropolitan area. But the metro area is only about 32% black.
March 24th, 2011

Daniel, if you had half a brain you would realize that the south is feverishly distancing itself from the dark stigma of Jim Crow's reign. Sadly, there are pockets of ignorance and resistance evidenced by your comment.

March 24th, 2011
8:00 am
It's very hard for me not to speak my mind on here, and most would not like my comments. Atlanta has gone to hell, and the makeup of the population has everything to do with that. For some unknown reason, too many blacks think the answer to being "dissed" by someone is to go out and kill them. Hispanics think that all they have to do is keep populating the country, having babies, and they will get their entitled slice of the pie. "African" Americans will soon not be the #1 minority in this country.
I better stop, or this will get out of hand.

Seems to be one of the only people with some intellect here are Mr. Henry and GB.
@GB ~ I was wondering the same thing and found it a little confusing. I am curious as to what the minority percentage breakdown is of those who own small businesses. It does seem as though the writer in the article meant the Metro Atlanta area, but I don't want to assume. There are not many Hispanics and Asians inside the Atlanta city limits.
And as I would love to stick to the topic here….but for all of you "complaining" about the black folks in Atlanta, did you even READ the piece?? This article shows that majority of the minorities in the Atlanta area are opening businesses, not committing crimes. How is THAT a bad thing?!?!

Wow I can't believe that people won't dispute facts /or support them but they rendor their opinions and stereo types . What is a diss ? Who does that ? Maybe the person with the knowledge of what and when a diss occurs . I can proudly say I have never killed anyone for a diss. Diss wow that term was used 20 years ago when I was in high school and no one ever got killed over it. I am just thankful that facts are what are important to me . The fact that if a person from every nationality was cut at the same time they would all bleed red blood. The fact that people of all nationalities have been found guilty of rape, murder , robbery. The fact that all nationalities can own businesses , attend college , have families, and work jobs. I celebrate the fact that ajc ran an article giving facts and not opinion. If your not a part of the solution you are a part of the problem.

First of all, it's always a bad thing when African-Americans do anything, positive or negative right?!?! It seems like Atlanta is only #1 due to "a growing population, increasing household incomes and affordable housing". That should be considered a positive given the other cities that rounds out the top 5. However, as with any surveys or polls, there are outliers that are not considered.

The Detroit of the South? Unions are not a factor in Atlanta and the economy of this city is diversified. Unlike Detroit, Atlanta has been growing. That statement makes no sense.
March 24th, 2011
8:46 am
Ha! It is widely known by people who have common sense that these minority businesses are largely white. This is due to the fact that the business name is now if the wife's name. When a business is setup through a female, it is considered minority owned.
The report should have been a bit more transparent showing the breakdown percentage of women overall/black women/white women/african-american to avoicd all the strife that has consumed this board.

Affirmative Action makes success MUCH easier for those who receive the RACIAL quotas.
However, I love to see a thriving BLACK business because it sets a great example that you do not need government handouts to make it.

Affirmative Action where in the sam butterfinger heck does that exsist? These people with this insight have priceless info…. You need to sell that knowledge .. because if handouts are being given out for people to start there own businesses just about everyone would have one …. Working on a job everyday sets an example that you don't need government hand outs also…. I wonder how many people sent their stimulous checks back when those government hand outs went out.

"In February, the U.S. Census Bureau released figures that showed black-owned businesses in metro Atlanta grew 99 percent between 2002 and 2007″
2002 – 2007 was before the economy crashed, which I might add that metro ATL has been hurt worse that many areas of the country. Many of the business that we are applauding are probably gone. Many people used their homes as ATM's to finance their businesses.
Sure they give a few examples, but only of the high success stories.
"The magazine added, however, that "business leaders fear strict anti-immigration laws may choke off future growth."
This is an empty threat. We don't need any more poor, tired and hungry folks entering this country, we already have enough of that. Growth will happen when American citizens are put back to work, not by sneaking more people through the back door.

When I saw the title of this article on the AJC homepage, I knew before I clicked on the article that AJC was going to make this a blog dicussion so all of the racist can make their hateful comments. It seems that AJC always open any dicussion dealing with race to the bloggers so that we can continue to divide our city with the back and forth racist comments. I think the AJC should be put on notice and we should contact them to express our concerns. This is a pattern with the AJC. It is awful when we take something positive and turn it into something negative. I hope that eventually we all can work together to promote a positive dicussion for readers so we can work together to solve major issues.

LOL….it seems a "good ole boy" way of things is coming to an end. For some reason that has people very upset. Seeing any successful minority (unless theyre scoring a TD for univ of GA) is disturbing and brings out the venom….We can all get rich people, but only if we stop HATING on others who are successful before we get there.
Black, White, Asian, Hispanic….we all share the same goals and are all capable of success and bulls%4t. Congrats to the minority business owners and the city of Atlanta for providing an environment to promote their success.
This is great news, I feel inspired! Toast to you today!!!!!

Why does every conversation have to somehow turn into a white/ black, black/ white, mexican issue (I say mexican rather than latino b/c most of you writing think all atinos are Mexican!). This is a promising article. Please note that minority business includes everyone that is not a white American male! Therefore the stereotyping name calling etc that come up should not even be an issue. This is a positive thing! It says that people in the area are prospering. Prosperity financially leads to more money in taxes for the area. More money allows for better schools, roads, police, etc. Try and focus on the good.
Additionally for those of you who are stereotyping. I must say that although blacks and latinos have been incarcerated and charged criminally at an unequal rate to that of white and asian people some of that may be attributed to the drug laws that have historically laid much heavier sentences to drugs that were prominent in non-white areas… a trend that is decreasing with todays meth laws, additionally profiling, and a survey of people (jurors) showed that there is a belief that when white and asian kids do wrong they are more likely to have subsided to peer pressure vs others are inherently bad.
Those beliefs lead to a much higher conviction and incarceration rate. Feel free to research anything I have said!

You have to look at our examples of "successful" minorities to see where all this piss and vinegar comes from. Look at the city of Atlanta and Hartsfield-Jackson, this is the corruption of our city's politics. We have Michael Vick, our sports hero and the former AD at UGA, both are shining examples of shame in black athletics. Finally, the RHOA that shows what successful black business woman in ATL are all apparently about – ALL broke with foreclosed homes pretending to be something they are not.
It not about racism, it's about how we worship these black icons that we let represent ATL. If white people dare talk negatively about the above examples, they are haters and racists. We keep pretending that we are successful when we are not, and they KNOW we are NOT!
Let's not forget our clergy in all this. The Bishop Eddie Long represents US too!

You Are An Idiot if You Think Only One Race is Responsible for Crime in Atlanta or anywhere Else
This poster must have his head in the sand. His implication that criminals are not more likely to be black than white is absurd. Not every black is a criminal. Not every white is law abiding. No one claims that. Yes, crime comes in all colors, but the numbers are there for anyone to see. Would this poster feel safer in Alpharetta or Bankhead?
March 25th, 2011
4:23 pm
Why is it when the news is covering crimes like murder and robberies that the overwhelming number of perps are either blacks or hispanics? Probably because the population of Atlanta has become so high with blacks and hispanics. Take for example how the black widow ms. Jackson forced the change of the airport name, because "my husband maynard always hoped for the name change". Maybe the white folks do need to move away? Oh maybe thats what Forsyth County is all about.
March 26th, 2011
6:01 pm
I don't get the need for these types of stories honestly, all it does is drive anger between the races. I think the article was referring to the entire Metro area, and as many said already, Metro Atlanta (which truly is the heartbeat for the city, as everyone drives to work in the city during the day and goes home to suburbia after work) is majority white.
People flocked to the suburbs to escape crime and poor schools, thus "white flight". Interestingly, the trend has largely reversed recently, especially in the city limits of Atlanta and whites have started moving back in while blacks try suburbia life.
No one race can "claim" Atlanta despite the image it gets as a black mecca, as it's a slim black majority intown anyways. Comparing Atlanta to Detroit it stupid. The city of Detroit is overwhelmingly black majority, and it's economy is not diversified as others said (hopefully one day it will rebuild again). Can't we all get along?
March 26th, 2011
7:04 pm
Daniel, Yes Atlanta was a white city… Every city was a white city because of racism, slavery, you name it. Don't be so proud of that. Back when Atlanta was a 'white' city, the police were beating Blacks for no apparent reason, other being black; the Klan had an influence and politicians made decision without considering all citizens; well they still do that
Everyone should be so pround of 'White' Atlanta.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Melvin Bullitt
Tue Mar 13, 2012 12:35 am The Colts released SS Melvin Bullitt with a "failed physical" designation late last week.
Fantasy Source Spin: Sirius XM Radio's Adam Caplan suggests Bullitt may not be recovered yet from the shoulder injury that cost him all but two games in 2011 and four games in 2010. Bullitt was once one of the most productive safeties in the league. Now at age 27, he may have to settle for a minimum deal to stay in the NFL.
Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter
Fri Mar 9, 2012 5:33 pm Colts released SS Melvin Bullitt.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bullitt, 27, was due a $2.4 million salary. He missed all but two games due to a right shoulder injury last season, and all but four games in 2010 due to another shoulder problem. The Colts have Joe Lefeged, Antoine Bethea, David Caldwell, and three more no-name safeties at the position. Look for Bullitt's market value to be pretty minimal as an unrestricted free agent.
Wed Sep 28, 2011 3:17 pm Colts placed SS Melvin Bullitt on injured reserve with a right shoulder injury, ending his season.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Colts started David Caldwell at strong safety in Week 3, but he rotated with rookie Joe Lefeged. Lefeged played more snaps, and both players finished with two tackles. Bullitt, 26, signed a new three-year contract just before training camp, but has performed poorly on the field and this right shoulder injury is recurring. The team may have to consider cutting ties next year.
Source: Indianapolis Star
Wed Sep 21, 2011 2:42 pm The Colts signed S Stevie Brown this week because SS Melvin Bullitt is dealing with an undisclosed injury.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bullitt was also terrible in last week's loss to the Browns, getting burnt in coverage and missing tackles all over the field. "Melvin has a bit of an issue that he's dealing with that we're just not quite certain where he is at this point," coach Jim Caldwell said. "That's the reason Steve Brown is here."
Source: Indianapolis Star
Wed Jul 27, 2011 3:54 pm Colts agreed to terms with SS Melvin Bullitt on a three-year contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bullitt has put up some big numbers in the past, but he's a replacement-level safety who missed all but four games last season with a serious shoulder injury. The Colts will probably pencil Bullitt in as the heir apparent to Bob Sanders, who signed with San Diego before the lockout. Target Bullitt in IDP leagues, but he won't be an impact player in Indianapolis.
Source: Indianapolis Star
Thu Jul 7, 2011 2:03 pm Free agent SS Melvin Bullitt estimated to an Indianapolis radio station that his chances of re-signing with the Colts are "50-50."
Fantasy Source Spin: Recent comments from Bullitt suggested he was willing to back off his insistence of a long-term deal. "I never changed my stance on it," said Bullitt. "I want to be in Indianapolis, but it's going to be unrealistic for me to come back unless I have a long-term deal." Bullitt is skeptical that the Colts will commit to him in free agency.
Source: StampedeBlue.com
Mon Jul 4, 2011 10:58 am After saying earlier this offseason he couldn't see himself being back in Indianapolis without a long-term deal, free agent SS Melvin Bullitt has softened his stance.
Fantasy Source Spin: "I want to play in Indy again," Bullitt said. "That's what I'm planning on. But the reality is I'm not signed with anyone." Bullitt also emphasized his surgically repaired shoulder is 100 percent. "I'm probably the strongest I've been in two years."
Source: Indianapolis Star
Wed Mar 23, 2011 10:51 am Colts SS Melvin Bullitt is fully recovered from the shoulder surgery that kept him out of the final 13 games of last season.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Colts extended a restricted free agent tender to the four-year veteran, but that won't hold up if a new CBA passes. "I can't see myself coming back (to the Colts) other than with a long-term contract," said Bullitt. "Just to be quite honest, it's business."
Source: Indianapolis Star
Tue Oct 5, 2010 6:12 pm Colts placed SS Melvin Bullitt (shoulder) on injured reserve, ending his season.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bullitt suffered a broken bone in his right shoulder in Week 4 while filling in for Bob Sanders (triceps). With both strong safeties out, the Colts' leaky secondary will continue to be a matchup for fantasy leaguers to exploit. A free agent in 2011, Bullitt could be brought back with Sanders' Indy career in question.
Mon Oct 4, 2010 8:33 pm According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Colts S Melvin Bullitt "felt a tear in his right shoulder" Week 4 against Jacksonville.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bullitt underwent an MRI Monday, and the results are still unknown. The fact that Bullitt felt a tear is not a good sign, especially since he underwent offseason surgery on the same shoulder. With Bob Sanders (biceps) already out indefinitely, the loss of Bullitt for an extended period of time would be detrimental to the Colts' secondary.
Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter
Mon Oct 4, 2010 9:34 am Melvin Bullitt left Sunday's loss to the Jaguars in the third quarter with a shoulder injury and did not return.
Fantasy Source Spin: This is a major concern for the Colts as the injury is to the same shoulder that Bullitt had offseason surgery on. With Bob Sanders (biceps) out indefinitely, DaJuan Morgan is going to have a lot of pressure on him. Bullitt is headed for tests to determine the severity of his apparent aggravation.
Source: Indianapolis Star
Wed Sep 8, 2010 9:46 am Colts SS Melvin Bullitt will come off the bench behind Bob Sanders on Sunday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bullitt has been a tremendous fill-in for Sanders over the last two years, but the 2007 Defensive Player of the Year is now healthy and has his job back. Bullitt will see action in three-safety sets and will be ready when Sanders inevitably gets hurt, but for now he's looking at around 15 snaps a game.
Source: Indianapolis Star
Tue Apr 13, 2010 9:47 am Colts re-signed restricted free agent SS Melvin Bullitt to a one-year, $1.684 million contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: The 25-year-old was a liability in pass coverage at times last season, but is good enough in run support that the Colts have only barely missed Bob Sanders when Bullitt has been forced into every-down duty over the past few years. Sanders is due back from his knee injuries and will retake his starting job in 2010, but Bullitt should stay active in three-safety sets.

Fantasy Source Spin: The Colts are publicly optimistic that Bob Sanders can return in 2010, but his replacement has emerged as a key performer in the secondary. Bullitt will be safe at the second-round level.

Facebook fatigue prompts breaks from network: study
Facebook fatigue prompts breaks from network: study
About 61 percent of US users said they had taken time off from Facebook at some point, with 27 percent planning to spend less time on it in the coming year, the Pew Research Center said.
The largest group -- 21 percent -- said they had taken a break because they were too busy. Other reasons included being "tired of stupid comments," "crazy" friends, boredom, and having it cause love life problems.
"These data show that people are trying to make new calibrations in their life to accommodate new social tools," said Pew Internet Project director Lee Rainie, a co-author of the study titled "Coming and Going on Facebook."
"They are adding up the pluses and minuses on a kind of networking balance sheet and they are trying to figure out how much they get out of connectivity vs. how much they put into it."
Slightly more than two-thirds of adults in the United States who use the Internet belong to Facebook, according to Pew.
A fifth of those who were not Facebook members said they once belonged to the service but quit, the study said.
Reasons given for leaving included getting tired of "minding everybody else's business" and it "takes my time away."
The survey, which has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points, was based on telephone interviews between December 13 and 16 with 1,006 adults living in the continental United States.

We had a great time staying with you and even though music was being played in the units behind, it did not stop us from sleeping or disturb us in anyway. We had the best sleeps ever.
We found the unit to be very quiet and relaxing, and I'm sure this was due to them being double brick..

It was around the time when Doc Rivers lost the final two games of one-on-one to his son Austin. The games weren't very close. The 48-year-old Doc thought it would be another routine spanking of his high school freshman, who was improving but hardly a threat to the old man.
Austin proved not only to be a threat but a prospect. Doc already had watched oldest son Jeremiah land a Division 1 scholarship with Georgetown, but those around the Celtics coach said Austin was special. Austin wanted to beat his dad badly. He had an arrogance about him. He wasn't intimidated by challenges.

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
The largest outbreak of tornadoes in the country's history began on April 25th and continued through the 28th three years ago, killing nearly 350 people.
The deadliest twister hit Tuscaloosa, Alabama on April 27th, 2011, and killed 64 people.
Red Cross officials say just because we haven't been hit hard lately, you shouldn't let your guard down.
"Those people have recovered from it but we want people to be aware," said Flint River Red Cross Director Lara Gill. "This time of year that can happen anywhere, so have a plan ready, be ready and be safe."
The outbreak spawned 15 tornadoes in Georgia that killed 15 people.

Have you made this pattern?
Share with the Craftsy community.
This wavy-edged triangular shawl was inspired by lavender fields and flowers. It is a charted and written lace design, with lace knitting on every other row. It can be knit in any weight of yarn by adjusting the number of repeats of the main chart.
The purple fingering weight version is knit in Posh Yarn Miranda 4 ply (~575 yd). The pink worsted weight version is knit in Berocco Ultra Alpaca (~420 yd).
The shawl is knit from the top centre out, beginning with a tab cast on. The pattern includes stitches like yo, single decreases (ssk, k2tog) and double decreases (sssk, k3tog), triple decreases (ssssk, k4tog) and nupps (can be replaced by beads).
loose enough to make the lace visible when the shawl is blocked (depends on the yarn & needles)
I'm a lifelong crafter, but settled on knitting in university when I wanted sweaters but couldn't afford to buy them. My first knitting love was lace. I'm sure I'll keep returning to lace, but there are so many other fun techniques to explore as well!

A Formal Apology To engadget
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Announcements
Earlier today in our post about using the Samsung i730 as an EV-DO modem, I made the following statement: "Oh - looks like DavesiPaq is yet another site reporting that engadget took their content without giving proper credit. This is really starting to become an occurrence that I am hearing about way too often." I meant that comment to be taken at its face value, but it seems others were taking it to mean that I was implying more than what was there. After conferring with a couple of other people, it turns out that quite a few think I was in the wrong. That being said, I want to take a moment to apologize to the engadget staff for the comment. I meant no ill will by it, but if it was taken that way, my bad.

As an editor here for the past few months, I respect the people in this industry that consistantly provide great public services, engadget being one of them. I would like to thank Andru for writing this apology and restoring the credibility of Gear Live. I was shocked when I intially read the post knowing good and well how much Andru actually admires engadget. I think I speak for most of the editors when I say that we are frequent readers of the site and listeners of their podcasts and love to see what input they have in the technology world. On behalf of the Gear Live staff, thank you, Andru. You rock!
As a member of the Gear Live team I also was shocked to see Andru's comment today on Gear Live. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Engadget as leading technology website know that the entire team here does as well. I am glad he has had a chance to publicly try to set the record straight. May I offer my personal apologies to Peter and the entire Engadget team I hope that they can forgive a misunderstood and poorly worded statement.
Like Edwin and Sparky, I also frequent Engadget for great stories, and seeing that comment earlier today caught me off guard. Many people have a hard time apologizing, not because they still think they are right, but because they are too proud or not willing to admit a mistake. I'm glad to see Andru is above that behavior. You're a good man, Andru!

Okay, so here's how we're going to play the classic "truth or dare"
FIRSTLY, you pick a Cullen. Any Cullen. You then (as another cullen) ask that cullen truth or dare. They answer, and then you ask them a question/dare them to do something. Somebody else discribes the truth/dare, and they dare/question somebody else.
EG. Emmett was dared to tear up Esme's garden.
I tore up every rose, blade of grass, and fence in the beautiful garden of my mother's. She came outside, and I was banned from my xbox.
"Now, Alice! TRUTH OR DARE!"
"Hmm... TRUTH!"
"What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever done?"
The next person will then discribe Alice's embarassment and so forth. Does that make sense?
Okay, here we go!
"Truth or dare Carlisle honney?"
"Dare I guess."
"I dare you to take your shirt off and sing anything you want!"

Actress Rebecca Gayheart is reportedly expecting her first child with her Grey's Anatomy actor husband Eric Dane. Read more on Rebecca Gayheart's pregnancy below.
It seems the couple finally has some good news following the sex video of Rebecca and her husband Eric as well as the their experiences with drugs being revealed.
Star Magazine is reporting that Rebecca Gayheart is pregnant after turning to fertility specialists for help in having a family.
A source says, "Rebecca had some pretty bad morning sickness, but now she's more than three months along and in great spirits."
Eric Dane revealed earlier this year that he was ready to become a father and might seek help from a specialist.
Dane told Ellen DeGeneres, "We're currently working on that. It's funny because you get the doctors involved and they call you and it's like, 'In eight days I'll have to put in some work. I will be very busy and I probably shouldn't schedule anything else.'"
Rebecca Gayheart, 38, and Eric Dane, 36, married in 2004.

When the Cleveland Browns traded running back Trent Richardson a few weeks back, it was a sure sign they were tanking, right? I mean – the Browns weren't very good anyway and now without their star running back? That ship was bound to sink.
Except in the three games since the trade, the Browns are undefeated and loving life, despite the loss of quarterback Brian Hoyer who went down with a devastating ACL injury last night.
Still, even shunned backup Brandon Weeden came in and could do no wrong against the Buffalo Bills secondary en route to the Browns' victory which placed them atop the AFC North, and according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the AFC Central as well.
Per Awful Announcing:
Nobody tell the Cleveland Plain Dealer editorial department that it's been 12 years since the AFC Central existed. It's more enjoyable this way.
The picture below features a caption suggesting that the Browns lead the long defunct division, but really, who cares about a silly typo.
The Browns have a winning record five games into the season. They can lead two divisions if they want to, dammit.

In 2014, the Knowledge Technology Institute in Computer Science at the University of Hamburg will organise the 24th ICANN Conference in Hamburg, Germany. Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany, home to about 1.8 million people. Situated on the river Elbe, the port of Hamburg is the second largest port in Europe and often considered the gate to the world. The University of Hamburg is the largest institution for research and education in the north of Germany. We invite all neural network researchers worldwide to join us on September 15–19, 2014.
best wishes, Stefan Wermter

I know you have to have the Argent Lance equipped to fight the Black Knight and to mount the Argent Chargers when doing the dailies out front of Icecrown Citadel. The Horde (or Alliance) Lance has to be equipped for me to mount the faction mounts (e.g. - Stabled Silvermoon Hawkstrider) for jousting with Champions and Valiants.

It was back then when Reduzzi first recalled a Slate Belt football rivalry moment between his eventual alma mater, Pen Argyl, and Bangor.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
"The team would walk up the hill and the whole town would be there hollering for them."
Nathan Hood, the Green Knights' current starting quarterback, remembers the 1999 meeting at Bangor Memorial Park when the lights went out.
"It was black. We had to finish the game the next day. [Bangor people] were blaming us for the lights going out. They said we weren't going to beat them that night," Hood said with a smile.
Pen Argyl won that game, 17-7, on its way to the Colonial League championship.
There have been few games since that have meant as much as the 2010 installment.
Bangor (7-2) needs to win Saturday's game at Pen Argyl (8-1) to secure a District 11 Class 3A playoff berth.
Pen Argyl needs a win to host a District 11 2A first-round postseason contest.
But, regardless of what is at stake, it still is Bangor-Pen Argyl, the Colonial League's most-played rivalry.
It took Bangor standout running back Scott LaValva two years in the series to realize the game's significance to the Slate Belt.
"My freshman year, I was so nervous for every game," the four-year starter recalled. "But coming onto the field my sophomore year for this game … Words can't describe the feelings you get.
"It's different than any other game I've played in."
LaValva grew up a Blue Valley Patriot, Hood a member of the Green & White Youth Association. They didn't grow up as pals, but not bitter rivals, either.
Barring something unforeseen, Saturday's postgame handshakes between players and coaches will be cordial and genuine.
"We respect each other and we'll talk when we see them somewhere," Hood said. "But we're not friends."
Reduzzi said time and circumstance sometimes changes that stance. The 1985 Pen Argyl grad remembers plenty about his involvement in the game as a player and coach.
He participated in Slate Belt rivalry games that had plenty at stake. In 1984, Bangor needed to win to make the playoffs and Pen Argyl needed not to lose. The game ended in a 0-0 tie.

There are two kinds of emails in my inbox right now: Kim K divorce pitches ("chic pens to sign those papers!") and shopping requests from you. As a former PR copywriter and a loyal Kardashian fan-girl, press pitches give me PTSD and the big divorce doesn't phase me one bit. Nope, I'm just not outraged.
I shared an elevator with Kris Humphries at the Nuvo Lemon Sorbet launch a few months ago, and was forced to listen as he listed the cars in his garage to creepy Jonathan Cheban. It was enough to make me miss mute Reggie Bush. He was better for Kim anyway. Do you remember that GQ spread they did? Insanely hot, natch.
But whatever, we're talking about shoes.
Apparently everyone really wants boots right now. Vastly different, super-specific boots with only one thing in common: a low price point. As promised, I've found (almost) everything you requested. Go on, have a look and tell me how rad/bad/over-priced/pretty they are in the comments. And send your fashion questions to me at email@example.com.

Dansko Stormy Boot, $160.
"I live in NYC. It snowed major this weekend, which made me sweaty with the knowledge that I really need boots now. Boots with the fur, perhaps. Boots that are water and slush proof. Boots that I can comfortably do my morning 1 mile speedwalk to drop baby at babysitters and then climb several flights of subway stairs. Boots that can be exchanged for heels at the office (that's what files drawers are for, btw), but not too goofy, ugly that I will be embarrassed to run into fashionable types in the elevator before I get to that shoe drawer in the morning. And boots that don't scream SNOW! so I can wear it on just really cold days without looking weird because there is no snow in fact."
Zara Pointed Ankle Boot, $100.
"Can you find me a high-heeled black boot that looks expensive, but isn't? I've looked everywhere!!"
MICHAEL Michael Kors Bromley Boot, $140.
I need some boots for winter. Here's the problem: I don't do heels (not even a wedge). I don't spend over $200 on a pair of shoes. And I only wear comfortable shoes. That limits my options! I've been looking all over and can't find what I want.
Cheap Monday Monolit Wedge, $115.
"I want a cheap, comfy wedge boot to replace my Jeffrey Campbells from last year? Something original that stands out. Please and thank you!"
Sorell Tofino Boot, $140.
"First let me say I am very anti-uggs. However, I need a boot I can slip over bare feet that will cover my cropped leggings and make me weather-appropriate for my mid-winter trips to Pilates. Something I can slip in and out of fairly quickly. I'd say about 99% of the ladies wear uggs to the classes and then there are those of us struggling with our socks and leather boots – which then means I'm running forever running late in the morning. So any suggestions for non-ugg fuzzyish slip-on boots?"
Marais Chelsea Heel Boot, $145.
"I can't really buy more than one pair of boots right now so I need something inexpensive that doesn't look cheap that I can wear with everything."
Lucky Brand Aida Boot, $199.
"Where can I find brown/cognac riding boots with buckles. I'm 5'2" and everything's too tall for me! Plus, all the boots I find look like pirate boots on me, I have really thin calves and they all gape at the calf. I've spent HOURS looking online, going bonkers searching for a freakin' pair of boots... and I can't pay like, $400 either."
xoJane.com is where women go when they are being selfish, and where their selfishness is applauded.

I don't know whether you've noticed, but it's very rare for me to include ghost stories on Esmeralda's. It's not that I haven't looked at a few – always ones supposedly rooted in an historical event – but with one exception1, they don't pass the simplest test of veracity. Some simply don't marry up with historical events, like the Claife Crier2, and others, such as the Beckside Boggle3 and Hutton-in-the-Forest's headless horsewoman4, are demonstrably fiction, with authors, publishing dates and so on.
I've also chosen not to spend a lot of time with our assorted otherworldly creatures – dobbies, boggles, barguests, elves, fairies, cappels, hobs and bogarts – partly because there are others tackling these5 but mostly because they're almost impossible to define. Let's look at a few attempts at definition by other historians: Henderson6, writing in 1866, suggests that ghosts and 'bogles' are interchangeable, although a 'dobie' is a 'mortal heavy sprite', which appears to be 19th –century Borders code for a ghost that's none-too-clever. Sullivan7, in 1891, on the other hand, is confident that a 'dobbie' is 'a kind of household fairy' somewhat like a hobgoblin (and indeed similar to the one in JK Rowling's Harry Potter series). On the other hand, the more recent (2009) Geoff Holder8 has collected evidence to suggest that both boggles and dobbies are associated with murders and suicides. I, in my turn, have come across a dobby which pretends to be a threatening pile of stones at Dalehead, and another which is a ball of fire that enjoys chasing the unwary9.
I agree with all these historians that if the terms, 'boggle' and 'dobby' are used, the story was intended for local consumption, whereas if they involve jilted lovers, headless ghosts, ladies in white and pining puppies, they're definitely 19th -century ghost-craze fodder. Twilight for the Victorian age, if you like. My personal theory is that the Victorians, who believed that their industrialised world meant that man had conquered nature, had to re-model older tales so that the protagonists were all human in some form. Hence a pre-1850 tale of a hobgoblin who helps around the house and finds buried treasure10, which itself may have roots in a pre-Roman genius loci (spirit of place)11, turns into a murdered maid who wreaks havoc with the butter.I'm not the first person to take issue with our ghost stories. In 1899, The Whitehaven News had an article titled, 'A GENUINE GHOST: CAUGHT ON CHRISTMAS EVE'12. It told the story of the Old Hall Dobby at Plumpton, Ulverston. It would seem that the 'groaning, the clanking of chains, the shrieks combined to make a perfect pandemonium of horrible sounds' had all sorts of folk desperate to spend a night in the haunted room. 'But one night was sufficient for the boldest,' the article continues, whether the visitor was there 'in the spirit of pure adventure' or 'actuated by a spirit of research in the mysteries of the supernatural'. Apparently the ghostly visitation was so terrifying that the farm owner only charged a nominal rent to the tenant farmer.
Some years later, Mary and Tom, a pair of servants from a neighbouring farm, were walking home from a Christmas Eve party when they sighted the ghost. It was all white, with a 'grinning fleshless human skull enveloped in light', making 'heartrending groans' and clanking chains. Tom was less convinced than Mary and decided to pursue the ghost, first taking the precaution of cutting a whippy ash sapling to take with him. After some slightly patronising dialect conversation doubtless fabricated by the journalist, Mary and Tom followed the ghost into the woods. The ghost then vanished into the earth with no warning. Tom ran forward and found a hole in the ground… containing a head-shaped turnip lantern (like a Halloween lantern) with a warm candle still in it, some chains and, you've guessed it, the farmer from the Old Hall, wearing a sheet. After a whipping from Tom and his ash sapling, 'The Old Hall Dobby was never seen or heard again'. The article doesn't mention an increase in the farmer's rent.
You'll have noticed that despite my tirade of the first three paragraphs, this Whitehaven News article used the terms 'ghost' and 'dobby' interchangeably. It was written in 1899, so it's possible that the term 'dobby' had already lost its other meanings, or else the journalist was an offcomer who hadn't grasped the subtleties. Whatever the case, this particular Old Hall Dobby was clearly an early professional in the tourist trade.
I do, however, have a postscript to this tale. The other way in which the word, 'dobby' was used hereabouts was to describe a type of holed stone which was hung above doorways and from rafters as protection from unwanted spirits (however defined). A few 'dobby stones' were seen and described by early folklorists. Marjorie Rowling13 saw two similar river stones with natural holes at Nether Levens Hall near Kendal, and another, which turned out to be a prehistoric stone hammerhead at Bleaze Hall near Kendal.
In 1971, Clare Fell recorded some archaeological finds in a paper in the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archaeological Society. Included was a prehistoric, holed axe hammerhead unearthed a few years previously at Plumpton Hall Farm, Ulverston.14 Was it one of Turnip Head's props, or had the locals been warding off the dobbies – of the native variety preceding the Victorians' obsession with ghosts – for generations before?
Note to all Boggle fans! Alan Cleaver, Cumbria's premier expert on such things, will be talking about 'Boggles and Beasties' at the Beacon, Whitehaven on Tuesday, 8th January.
- The ghosts of Souther Fell. Not that the 'ghosts' per se can be attached to an historical event, but that it was extremely well witnessed at the time. I can't account for it.
- What a load of tourist – erm – confection that is! Debunked by Collingwood, amongst others, shortly after it became current.
- The Beckside Boggle by Alice Rea published by T Fisher Unwin Ltd, 1886.
- The Ghost of Hutton by I Davidson published by R Scott Ltd, Penrith in 1932 and sadly large tracts were reprinted verbatim in a copy of Cumbria Life which is regularly flashed under my nose as 'proof'.
- See Alan Cleaver's website http://www.strangebritain.co.uk/and I recommend his e-book co-written with Lesley Park, Fairies of the Lake District. They also make very pretty, hand-bound books on relevant topics which can be purchased at their website or at The Rum Story, Whitehaven.
- Henderson, Folklore of the Northern Counties, 1866.
- Sullivan, Cumberland and Westmorland Ancient and Modern, 1891.
- Geoff Holder, The Guide to the Mysterious Lake District, 2009. There aren't many easy-read local history books featuring ghosty type stories to which I would give any credence, but this is one of them.
- Dobbie Bank at Holker, 1809.
- Crosby Hall, Crosby Ravensworth from Sullivan (see above).
- You can see a load of stone carvings of these at Tullie House in Carlisle.
- The article was kindly provided to me by Alan Cleaver (see point 5). I think this was because he knows I have de-bunky leanings and an interest in Halloween-type heads… thank you!
- Marjorie Rowling, The Folklore of the Lake District, 1976.
- As pictured and described at the website of the Dock Museum, Barrow-in-Furness.

Chapter 18- The End3 Reviews
Chapter 18
Gerard's POV
What the fuck had I done? I really messed up this time. Mikey can barely trust anyone as it is and I then I go and kiss his only friend. I'm such an idiot. I really hate myself for it. The worst part is That it was an accident. I was lonely and I really didn't know what was happening. I can't explain something so stupid like that to Mikey. Then I just stood there, let Frank run out after him to help him. I just stayed there, too selfish to think of where Mikey had gone. I let him down so bad. I will never be able to make it up to him but I have to at least try. That is why I am on Franks front door step hopefully allowed to see my brother. Frank had text me he found him and they were going to stay at his for the night. They surely weren't going to go into school today. I really need to apologise.
I knocked on the door. It opened quickly enough to Frank standing, staring at me in a condescending way.
"Hel-" I was cut off by him an he sound pretty pissed at me still. I don't blame him though.
"Mikey is in the sitting room." He said pushing the door back wider to let me through. Franks house was nice. It was cosy and really looked like a family house. Something I'd never seen really before.
I walked into the sitting room following Frank. Mikey was sitting on the couch looking quite despairingly at the carpet until he saw me. His eyes lit up at first But then fell as he probably knew that I was here to apologise. Right, apologise. Now.
Frank sat down beside Mikey putting an arm around him defensively and holding his hand a little too much for my liking but who am I to talk?
"Mikey, I really need to apologise to you. I am so sorry. I really don't know what happened to me. I just realised how lonely I felt and ... I don't know it just happened. I understand you must feel really betrayed by me and I don't blame you. And it wasn't Frank's fault either. So don't be mad at him. Be mad at me. I'm the one who messed up your whole life by taking you away from home and not taking enough care of you and I just... I really want you to know I do care about you Mikey. I really do. I'm just so so sorry." I tell him as he stares at me with attentive eyes and ears.
"I-It's okay Gerard." He tries to tell me.
"But it's not. I have let you down. And you deserve so much better than the shit I've been giving you."
"Gerard. You haven't let me down. Okay I was quite upset over yesterday but you pay the rent you look after me when I get beat up." He says slowly but confidently.
"Obviously not enough."
"I hid those marks because I didn't want you to find them because you do enough worrying already. I know you try your hardest and if anything I don't repay you enough for it." Frank holds him closer. Am I missing something between them?
"You don't need to repay me because seeing your sweet determined face every morning is what gets me through my day."
He smiles contently and snuggles further into Franks chest. Frank still looks a bit on edge with me. He seems more protective than me with Mikey. A couple minutes of silence pass. But it wasn't an awkward silence. It was pleasant and comfortable. It sort of nearly seemed normal. Frank interrupted and said "Can I have a word with you in the kitchen?" He looks at me with a stern look. I nod in return.
We enter the kitchen leaving Mikey who looked at bit anxious as we left.
"Gerard. I know you are trying your hardest with Mikey and he sees it too. But don't even dare pulling something like yesterday again because Mikey can't handle that." he threatens me.
"I know Frank. I won't. What happened yesterday was an accident. I didn't mean for it to happen. I don't know what was wrong with me." I reply followed by a minute of silence.
"Where did you find him afterwards?" I ask him out of curiosity.
"In your old house. He climbed through a broken window and then I found him crying in his old room." Frank says sadly.
"No offence. But the house was disgusting. Blood over the walls. Broken glass on floor. He even shuddered at the sight of a bloody dent in the wall. What the fuck used to happen to him?" he says concerned for the poor abused boy.
"I don't know exactly and I don't think we will ever find out." Unfortunately, it's true. I don't think he will ever open up to anyone fully. I just know its alot worse than he says it is. I look at Frank who is still deep in thought.
"You know he said he went there because he thought you would come and rescue him like you used to" Frank says from nowhere.
Mikey really does still believe in me. He doesn't hate me. He actually thought I would save him. But I didn't. That was when I let him down.
"Thanks Frank. You really do mean so much to Mikey and me and you've just been so kind. I can't thank you enough. Mikey really does need you."
"As much as he needs you Gerard. Just remember that."
Finished I think. The ending was kinda bad and the whole chapter was really short. But I hope you liked it anyway. I have been thinking of a new story or one shot so you may see it up in a couple of days. Rate and review and I will love you!

The Voice Coaches Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine Stay Busy Between Blind Auditions
There's only a few short months between The Voice's spring and fall season, but that's not stopping the judges from taking time off for side projects. Blake Shelton is using the time to perform around the United States, while Christina Aguilera is hard at work on her next album.
Aguilera recently shared with MTV News that her next single would be out in early August. "I've been in the studio, hard at work," she said. The diva has been working alongside pop hitmaker Max Martin. Lyrics are circulating the Internet suggesting that fans can expect the chorus to be along the lines ofAll I want to do is what you wanted. So we can speculate it's either a song about giving into the pressures around you.. maybe perhaps a lover?
While Aguilera and Shelton focus on their music, the acting bug bit Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green. Not only is Adam guest starring on an upcoming episode of "American Horror Story," but he is playing Keira Knightley's love interest in the film "Can a Song Save Your Life?" The pair is currently shooting the film in New York. Not only will the move star Levine, but it will also feature fellow coach Cee Lo Green as Troublegum, a successful hip hop star.
The good news for The Voice fans is no projects are interfering with auditions for the upcoming fall premiere of The Voice. The Voice returns Sept. 10 at 8/7c on NBC.

The BMW R1200RT is a pretty capable sport touring motorcycle. Though, BMW considered that it can still be improved even more so they went on and made a few modifications. Therefore the 2012 generation received a new boxer engine with much more torque and new DOHC cylinder heads. The bike has also a fresh cockpit, new shift units, new hydraulic reservoir and handlebar separately mounted and a new audio system.
Compared to the previous model, the new R1200RT is also slightly taller and wider, two attributes that improve the road stability and rider protection.
The BMW R1200RT is also featuring an ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) with damping, spring base and now also spring rate adjustable at the touch of a button. Not to mention about the Integral ABS and hard-shell cases, all offered as standard equipment.
As far as styling goes, the new model received new fairing and a redesigned cockpit with visor and adjustable foot shift lever.
Hit the jump for more information on the 2012 BMW R1200RT.

The Leftbank is one of those wicked little Bristol venues which is all too easy to miss. Tucked between the Pipe and Slippers and The Social on Cheltenham Road, it's best known as a language college – but tonight, it's a deliciously intimate gig venue for this one off charity fundraiser gig for Figure 8 Festival.
First onto the tiny makeshift stage, which is tucked under the stairwell (but not in an afterthought kinda way) is Mouse Deer. Mouse Deer is the solo project for Bristol musician Holly McIntosh, who can usually be seen playing with Schnauser. It has the same indie sensibilities, but offers a much less tongue in cheek approach to lyrics than some of the Schnauser material and tackles issues from relationship breakdowns to self doubt. Sitting firmly on the right side of twee, Holly's indie librarian-look suits her music perfectly, catchy guitar riffs and slightly self-depricating but at the same-time self-assured vocals complete the ensemble to create music which would sit perfectly alongside the likes of Allo Darlin, Emmy The Great and Belle & Sebastian. Playing a lengthy set, Holly gets better with each song – her excellent vocals and understated electric guitar playing making for a pretty unique show.
Flying the flag for the female vocals, Heg Doughty takes over where Holly left off. Armed with nothing but a keyboard and a lone violinist (she usually plays with her band The Wolf Chorus), Heg launches into a set of spine-tingling, creative ballads about fairytales and relationships. Her crystal clear, powerful vocals fill the room as she plays the keys with the same emotion and conviction as Anthony (of Anthony and the Johnsons fame), with the violin parts complimenting Heg perfectly. As well as the all-to-easy, but thoroughly deserved, comparisons to Kate Bush and Tori Amos, there's hints of Joni Mitchell in her vocals and Anna Calvi. With an overriding theatrical vibe, this is mesmerising to watch and would be equally as enjoyable to listen to on record. Truly beautiful.
And a perfect support act for the intensive Stems. This Huddersfield-based trio comprise two violinists and one electric guitarist/vocalist, John Dorr. On first listen they seem like a slightly more classical sounding Dirty Three. It's beautiful, intense and compelling. But as the you're taken on a journey, throughout their set, you get the impression you're hearing something much much bigger. In fact, despite numbering just three, you could well be hearing a full orchestra at times, the execution is that powerful. When Dorr steps up to the mic to add in some vocals, the vibe changes slightly. The previously overarching ethereal classical sound becomes much more contemporary, with a definite nod towards Spiritualized or Sigur Ros. You can imagine this music in a number or scenarios; a soundtrack to a film, playing as the sun goes down on an idyllic rural festival or seeing you safely into a slumber on a cold winter's night.
This gig proves a near perfect composition of acts – the unique electric guitar/dreamy vocals of the solo act Mouse Deer, through the classical folk-tinged duo fronted by Heg Doughty to the extraordinary trio of travelling musicians (in this instance anyway) that is Stems. A brilliant evening of brilliant music in a blimmin brilliant venue.

Why don't the blazers sell Batum jerseys at the rose garden? You can special order them, but shouldn't they have them in stock. He is a starter. Now that I'm done with that rant what I really want to know is if anyone knows where I can get Batums French league jersey?

Here are my new side plates brought to you by Yeti Archery.
Thanks again Ron, These are awesome. They fit perfectly flush at the top like I wanted and am use to with the Elite Plates.
I like the feel of them too. They actually feel a slight tad thicker than the Elite side plate, which I like when carrying the bow, but feel identical at the top when holding the bow while shooting, just like the Elite plates.
