Here is video of Nikki Sixx's hot girlfriend Courtney Bingham trying to dance like a stripper on stage at a Motley Crue concert ... enjoy.
Pimp 'er out, Sixx Dawg!!
Nikki Sixx was over heard saying: That's what I like about these concerts, I keep getting older, and the girls stay the same age.
Phishie from Philly
That was awkward!! She wasn't very good.
"girlfriend" = Rented Poontang.
She looks really uncomfortable on stage....just another stage skank~
Is girlfriend the new term for Prostitute?
She may look ridiculous but she's hot for her age! You ave to give her that... The Extractor Drops mystery really e working for her. I just placed my order on their website. I can't wait!!
Crue rules, loud rock concerts rule, babes rule.
They have to take tour breaks because of sore wangs, over usage and such
I guess if you are into old balls than Sixx is your man.
What the hell was that? His Ex Wife Donna did a way better job than this twit! And looked a lot better. Pray he kicks her to the curve before she tries to do that shI#t again...
Nikki is still hot though!!!!!
And Neil??? What the hell was he trying to sing? He sounds more like crap every time I hear the Crue.. He can't keep a tune and doesn't sing half the songs because he can't keep the notes and can't breath!!!
I love Tommy and Mick!!!
Just sad. Embarrassed for her.
It's kinda weird that she did this for HER birthday. Who does that? She must be from team attention seeking.
"Granny Pannies"?
WTF izzup wit' dat?
Those beeg panties she's wearin' just make the Crue look O-L-D!!!
You are not hot when you wear panties like the ones she has on. Those are the type of things Jessica Simpson wears, remember those mid-belly jeans she wore. Those things were back in the 50's why would you wear them now. Probably has a super hair Pu$&y like they did in the 50's too.
I tried really hard to believe this was supposed to be sexy, but there's nothing sexy to be found. Stale, forced, awkward, unnatural. Girl has no curves and is not committed to what she's supposed to be doing. Sorry.

Curious about the methods and techniques behind medium format film photography? I'm glad to announce that I'll be teaching the process to anyone who is interested.
In today's digital world, it's infrequent that we dive into the physical world of film and analog cameras. There's something so gratifying about the process of medium format film- creating something that is actually tangible and can be held in your hand. I've learned so much about photography by getting back to the basics- and with the Hasselblad 503cx, you can create some truly unique images.
If you are interested in learning the process, sign up for a hands on lesson. This includes access to a Hasselblad 503cx, 4 rolls of Portra 400 120mm film, and a half day of learning how to use the camera and light meter; creating 48 exposures. I will develop and scan the rolls as well, and you will receive the film and digital files to share online and to use however you wish. Results are guaranteed.

text: On July 20, 2005, about 0715 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 172N, N4961D, veered off runway 12L, struck a ditch, crossed over a taxiway, and hit an airport location sign while landing at North Las Vegas Airport (VGT), North Las Vegas, Nevada. West Air Aviation was operating the airplane under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The student pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured; the airplane sustained substantial damage. The solo cross-country instructional flight departed VGT at 0520, on a round robin flight with an intermediate stop at Mesquite Airport (67L), Mesquite, Nevada. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed.The pilot submitted a Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2). He stated that after taking off from 67L, he flew direct back to VGT where he did a touch-and-go landing followed by a full stop landing. While doing his touch-and-go landing on runway 12L, he noticed that the landing gear was "abnormally [rough]." He was only on the ground long enough to apply takeoff power and did not think much of the roughness. After takeoff he looked out the window at the left main landing gear tire to see if it was flat but it did not appear to be flat.The pilot set up for a full stop landing in which he leveled off at the numbers and pulled the power to idle. The airplane floated down the runway and the pilot indicated that the airplane stalled just as the main landing gear touched down on the runway. After touchdown the airplane veered to the left and the pilot applied full right rudder and brake, but the airplane did not respond, and exited the runway onto the gravel. The airplane hit a ditch, crossed a taxiway, and hit an airport location sign where the right main landing gear and strut sheared off. The airplane exited the runway prior to reaching the 1,000-foot runway remaining sign. The airport location sign that the airplane struck was located approximately 200 feet off the runway centerline on the south side of taxiway H.The pilot stated that the airplane and engine had no mechanical failures or malfunctions during the flight.

Anais Mitchell (here) gives us her poetic impressions of her time in Austin. Her new record, The Brightness, is out now on Righteous Babe, buy it here.
Here's her wondefull summary of the week:
"sunday morning comin down
impressions from sxsw.
my official set at momo's and i was so excited about the rest of the bands on the bill that i spent the night there, a luxury really not to have to elbow around on sixth or anything. ana egge played after me with tony and jason– so rockin– i have got this real thing about ana's voice like i'm always thirsty for it, for it and her songs, thirstythirstythirsty.
also on the bill, stars of track and field and the winterpills, they both sounded so good, the room was full of sound. then sean hayes, i had never heard him but he came highly recommended and in fact he blew my fucking mind. we all sat on the dirty floor of the club looking up at his little haunted face under his little hat. his acoustic guitar sounded, i could not think of another word, GLAZED. his voice too was glazed but with a different sweeter rougher glaze. i can't remember a word he sang or what any one song was about but his poetry made perfect abstract sense and a couple of times i think i even pumped my fist for a killer line. it was like a trance, what he created. me i was charmed, my snake was charmed. finally i met matt the electrician.
the caritas soup kitchen. props to laura thomas and that great organization. flatstock convention, some really beautiful stark work, i was very taken by small stakes among other companies, i got to say though there is an emotional coldness to a lot of rock poster art, i dunno if it's always been that way or if it's a trend, but i don't like it. saw bill kirchen at the continental club with ana and tony. i really came round to it and felt like dancing and did dance. i noticed tony is an exquisite human being. smell of meat out the back. dinner with southpaw jones and his lady friend, also exquisite. later my comrade danny schmidt at the hotel. i tried to nap on the floor before his set but the guard waked me and got me on my feet. danny is brilliant i hate for him to play in a hotel. then we rushed over to sixth for ron sexmith. i could watch and listen to him all night. he had a three-piece band behind him including jason mercer on bass. he sweated in a suit jacket. outside on sixth the people flowed like spawning fish. we went up on a balcony for a drink looking down on it all. a south austin party. ambitious to go to a party at that hour and soon i was cold and tired.
we rode in the back of a pickup with a silver flask. people waved from the side of the highway. to waterloo to see the band of heathens, band of my dear old friend colin brooks, who just won a big award. they are five men all very handsome singing man harmonies. i danced with an italian guy. in my enthusiasm i sang him a part of bella ciao, an italian political folksong. "this is a song against ze fascists" he said. "FUCK THE FASCISTS!" i cried and he echoed me "FUCK ZE FASCISTS." i drank lone star. the night devolved a bit after that. though i will say aj roach and nels andrews are exquisite human beings. and colin too.
maybe it's the people i was hanging with, like for example the righteous babe people, and a few others i met and got to know, but i will say overall i found many people who genuinely love music for all the right reasons and are in the industry as a means of getting the music to the people, and this was beautiful. i expected a much higher degree of sleaze and happily didn't find it and i'm grateful for that, also inspired, what a lot of bright lights there are out there.
thanks for reading, xo, anais."

'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Will Lay the Groundwork for 'The Sinister Six'
It didn't come as much of a surprise when Sony revealed that there would be two more sequels following 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' in 2016 and 2018. What did come as a surprise was the announced spinoffs, which would delve even further into the Spider-Man universe. The most interesting of them is also the strangest: 'The Sinister Six,' a movie starring a roster of Spidey's deadliest enemies.
And according to new statements from Sony, the seeds for this film have been planted in 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2.'
Via EW, Sony Pictures Co-Chairman Amy Pascal stated:
At the tail end of this movie we set up some of the other characters that will probably end up being in the Sinister Six. We're going forward on all fronts.
[SPOILERS] As we previously reported, sources told us that the post-credits scene for 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,' as glimpsed in the trailers, reveal Doc Ock's tentacles, Vulture's wings and the Venom symbiote suit, which falls in line with this update. [END SPOILERS]
"Villains can be very entertaining," 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ producer Avi Arad also told EW. "Something happens and it changes their lives." Elsewhere, he explained the Sinister Six a little more in detail:
This movie ['The Amazing Spider-Man 2'] seals the fate of Oscorp as the tower of evil, as science at its worst. The Sinister Six are the creation of this sinister organization. These villains are there to attack humanity. There is only one hero out there that can stop them, and it's Spider-Man. One can only imagine what they will do to stop him so they can have free reign over the city. They are united over their deep hatred for Spider-Man.
The thought of seeing this evil superteam appear on the big screen is definitely exciting, but how exactly do you build a film around a team of murderers and thieves? Thankfully, Sony has hired Drew Goddard of 'The Cabin in the Woods' fame to write and possibly direct the film. Since Goddard is a genius and a tremendous talent (who is also writing Marvels' 'Daredevil' Netflix series) that's a good start. We have no idea what tone Goddard is shooting for, but he should take a look at Marvel's current ongoing series 'The Superior Foes of Spider-Man,' which follows the current Sinister Six as they attempt to eke out a living as blue-collar and hilariously under-appreciated crooks.
'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ is set to open on May 2, 2014. While 'The Amazing Spider-Man 3′ is scheduled to hit June 10, 2016 and 'The Amazing Spider-Man 4′ on May 8, 2018, 'The Sinister Six' is still in the early stages of development and is without a release. In the meantime, check out EW's new Spider-Man magazine cover below:

Tony Touch
The Piece Maker 2
Just about every track on "Piece Maker 2" is bangin', with a little something for everyone. Tony Touch brings every aspect of his game to the forefront, and his enlisted arsenal of MC's and producers is a perfect complement to his skill. Again the roster is filled with some serious guest spots (over 50, as usual) and Tony's musical intellect is displayed in the savvy configuring of artists and tracks, as well as in his ability to match styles and flows. At the same time he keeps his identity intact by constantly repping his own flavor, regardless of who else is on the track with him. No matter what the vibe, or who is spittin', you always know that it's a Tony Toca joint because of how it feels. He manages to perfectly replicate the vibe of a live and loud block party in his mix. From the jump Tony picks right up where the first "Piece Maker" left off. He re-establishes his ongoing Spanglish cultural and musical dialogue, bringing together heritage, language and history with Salsa legend Ruben Blades warming it up over a sinister intro beat. From there Tony launches into the New York anthem "Non-Stop" with Bad Boys Diddy, G-Dep and Black Rob over a pulsing, hook-laden track that is a sure-fire club banger. The RZA takes it right back to '93 with a vintage track that features Raekwon, U-God and Method Man. "Capicu," which was produced by the Beatnuts' JuJu, teams Tony up with Joey Crack and N.O.R.E and goes right for the jugular. "Dimelo" is all bouncing drums and Spanish guitar. Tone's counterpart Doo Wop returns as the other half of The Diaz brothers on the venomous-sounding "Click Bang," and Tony's vocal delivery is, as always, sly and understated and deadly casual. Toca keeps the sound worldwide live with another club-thumper: "Ay, Ay, Ay," which features the hit-machine that is Sean Paul. "Spit 1" is easily he sickest joint on the entire album. Fellow Rock Steady alum Q-Unique is razor sharp over a hypnotic and loping piano sample that is just too bugged out to describe. "Out da' Box" is another banger with its legendary lineup of Pete Rock, Large Professor and Masta Ace, while the inimitable Slick Rick paints a lyrical portrait of a drive gone awry due to overzealous fans on "Trouble on the Westside Highway." Dead Prez bring their socialism and consciousness and add a nice touch to the album with the high-energy unity anthem: "Touch 1 Touch All."
With so many stellar MC's and producers all involved in one project like this there is always the danger of over-hype and the ultimate disappointment that inevitably comes with it. Fortunately, Piece Maker II suffers none of these maladies. This is largely due to the presence of Tony himself. His very real, everyday-man approach to what he does is fully evident and it brings with it an inherent sense of integrity that goes beyond the music itself. But, ultimately, it is the music that speaks loudest, and Tony Touch has come up with a collection of tracks that not only define a moment of time in Hip-Hop culture, they celebrate it.

HoopsHype Bradley Beal rumors
In his first three-point shootout at All-Star Weekend, San Antonio Spurs sharpshooter Marco Belinelli got off to a shaky start. Belinelli threw up not one, but two airballs. He made a strong comeback on his final money ball rack to advance with the best score in the West. Bradley Beal advanced from the East, and the two tied in a frantic final round (where Belinelli found air again), forcing overtime. Belinelli won 24-18 in the tiebreak round. For The Win
Once upon a time, according to the Washington Post, Bradley Beal was just a kid who was a family friend of Cornell Haynes. Haynes, who is older, would occasionally walk him to school. Beal grew up to be an NBA player. Haynes, not long after those walks to school, became a rapper better known as Nelly. The two kept in touch and Nelly even got some courtside seats to the All-Star events on Saturday night (though it's not clear if they're from Beal or just from being Nelly). So when Beal did this in the first round of the Foot Locker Three-Point Contest, the St. Louis rapper was incredibly excited. For The Win
BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge - Team Hill: Damian Lillard (Portland, Soph.), Bradley Beal (Washington, Soph.), Andre Drummond (Detroit, Soph.), Harrison Barnes (Golden State, Soph.), Terrence Jones (Houston, Soph.), Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee, Rookie), Jonas Valanciunas (Toronto, Soph.), Dion Waiters (Cleveland, Soph), Pero Antic (Atlanta, Rookie). NBA.com
NBA All-Stars Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Joe Johnson of the Brooklyn Nets, Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers and Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves headline the field of participants for the Foot Locker Three-Point Contest (#FootLockerThree) taking place during State Farm® All-Star Saturday Night (#StateFarmSaturday) at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans on Saturday, Feb. 15. The Washington Wizards' Bradley Beal, who will also be participating in the BBVA Compass Rising Stars challenge, Marco Belinelli of the San Antonio Spurs and Arron Afflalo of the Orlando Magic complete the field. The NBA's best from behind the arc will take part in the Foot Locker Three-Point Contest, with the eight players competing in a two-round competition. Each player will have one minute to shoot as many balls as he can. The highest scoring East and highest scoring West competitors from the First Round will advance to the Championship Round. Of the two finalists, the one with the lower individual score from the First Round will go first in the Championship Round. The player scoring the most points in the Championship Round will win the 2014 Foot Locker Three-Point Contest for his conference along with $100,000 for their Conference's charities. NBA.com
Wizards' sources were fairly adamant yesterday that Beal is a non-starter for them in trade talks, which lines up exactly with what teams talking with Washington have said. As we covered yesterday, the Wizards are unwilling to break up their core to make a deal and while other teams may covet Beal as part of a deal, the Wizards simply are not going to entertain that. They view him as a key and core part of what they are building and anything involving him is being turned away. Basketball Insiders
"That's what Trev's known to do," Bradley Beal said. "He's our best defender. We always put him on top guy on the other team. He always accepts that challenge and he accepted it. We held [Durant] under 30 and he did a great job contesting, staying down and playing his heart out." Washington Post
Beal has been asked to participate in the Three-Point Shootout but also expects to make a decision by Monday. He is tied for 18th in the NBA in three-point shooting percentage at 41.3 and is leaning toward giving it a go, but admitted that the decision isn't entirely up to him as he continues to recover from a stress injury in his right fibula. He said it will come down to "me wanting to do it and two, what the doc says." Beal has been selected for the Rising Star challenge for the second year in a row and stated that concern over his leg could prevent him from participating in the exhibition featuring the best rookies and second-year players. His chances of being in both events appear to be improving. For the first time since he returned from his injury, Beal had his 30-minute time limit lifted when the Wizards played Oklahoma City. Washington Post
Beal also told CSN he'd like to compete in the Three-Point Shootout at NBA All-Star Weekend, which is Feb. 14-16, but a decision has not been made. If he is given the green light that his leg is OK to handle the extra work, Beal said he will accept the offer. CSNWashington.com
In an awkward moment for the Washington Wizards last week, USA Basketball announced Beal was among the 28 players invited to the U.S. men's national team pool for the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics. Wall was left off. "It's a blessing and an honor," Beal said of the selection. "To be a part of history and knowing that they see something in me, I'm definitely going to take advantage of that and show them what I've got and represent the country as best as I can." Washington Post
"I been through it before. The main thing for me is try to be professional. I went out there and played. I did it the right way," Wall said of his experiences with Team USA minicamp. "I just use it as more motivation. It's nothing I could do. It's nothing I can say, and I don't want nobody to babysit me or try to make it work for me. They made their list, they made their decision and that's what they're happy with, and I just have to look past that. It's more motivation because I didn't make McDonald's game. I wasn't national player of the year. I wasn't rookie of the year. So those are just tabs I keep to motivate myself to prove people wrong." Washington Post
There's another effect to giving Wall that kind of deal: The Wizards haven't had much stability over the years, but they now have a true cornerstone to build on. And his partner is encouraged. "It's good for the team," Beal said. "He's the leader. He's the head of the snake. It just makes my decision that much easier, if I want to continue to play with him over the next couple of years." USA Today Sports
The extra five-minute frame meant that his night was essentially over because he had already played 30 minutes 15 seconds — and he remains on a strict 30-minute playing time restriction that has been in place since he returned in December from a stress injury in his right fibula. Beal watched the overtime in disgust and only saw the court for the last three seconds, when John Wall missed a three-pointer as time expired and the Wizards had to accept a 113-111 defeat. "I wish I was out there, no doubt," Beal said. "I knew it was going to happen. I'm restricted to 30 minutes, I can't fight it and there's nothing I can do about it but accept it and cheer my teammates on and encourage them to get a win." Washington Post
Beal doesn't know how long this situation will remain but he also realizes that he has to adjust. Before suffering his second serious leg injury in eight months, Beal had led the NBA in minutes played and miles traveled in a game. The constant contributed to him missing nine games and three weeks of action, so he'd rather get some minutes than none at all. "I talked to doc a little bit and hopefully, within these next couple of weeks or so, I'll be off of it," Beal said. "Like Witt said, it's out of his hands, it's really kind of out of my hands, too. I know how I feel, but we're also talking about my future here and for the rest of my life. So I just got to take it slow, suck it up and deal with it." Washington Post

Most know him as Nelly, platinum-selling rapper and part owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. Bradley Beal also knows him as Cornell Haynes, the family friend who would occasionally walk him to elementary school before hitting it big. Nelly was a former star athlete at University City High in suburban St. Louis, where Beal's mother, Besta, was a physical education teacher and athletic director. So, Beal can't remember the first time he met Nelly, only that it was "ages ago." Washington Post
Nelly won't be around sitting courtside, but Beal was thrilled to have someone he has long admired watching him play for the first time. The two posed for a picture together after the game. "It's awesome, because he's basically the first one to do something big from St. Louis and just everything that he's done for the city and he gives back and everything he went through in his life and how he supports the youth. He's definitely been a big impact on everybody," Beal said. "He supports sports to the fullest and everybody that comes out of St. Louis. So I have to show my appreciation and my love to him as well." Washington Post

"He wasn't as big as he is now, but he was an up-and-coming rapper and eventually 'Country Grammar' came out" in 2000. Washington Post
"Yeah, I needed him to be able to show up to games," Beal said with a laugh, when asked about Nelly, "but nah, I just stayed with it. My teammates did a great job of setting me up. And I was shooting the ball with a lot of confidence and was fortunate to get a couple to fall." Beal was playing so well that Nelly started heckling him to let up a bit. "He was telling me, 'Don't do 'em like that.' It was cool," Beal said with a smile. "He owns a little bit of the Bobcats, so I was like, I couldn't really say too much. Couldn't shake his hand, but it was definitely cool." Washington Post

Election Wrap-up: Black Republicans Go to Congress
The 2010 election cycle is notable for the Republican Party tidal wave that saw the Democrat Party lose control of the House of Representatives, and have diminished majority in the Senate. The Wave brought with it some diversity in the GOP's Congressional delegation: there are now two African American Republicans in the House of Representatives.
The last time there were two African Americans Republicans in Congress was in 1995-96, when J. C. Watts represented the 4th District of Oklahoma and Gary Franks represented the 5th district of Connecticut.
This year's breakthrough occurred thanks to the election of black Republicans in Florida and South Carolina. Allen West won his race for congress in southern Florida, while Tim Scott won his race in the Charleston and northern coastal area of South Carolina.
Allen West won in Florida's 22nd District, which includes parts of Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, and other portions of Broward County and Palm Beach County. These are north of Dade County, which contains the city of Miami.
West's district is 75% white, 15% Hispanic, and just 5% black. He beat out two-term Democratic incumbent Ron Klein by a margin of 54.3% for himself to 45.7% for Klein. The two had faced each other in the 2008 election; in that election, Klein beat West by 55% to 45%.
Allen West, Congressman-elect, 22nd District-Florida
West has something of a reputation for being controversial and combative. The 2010 Almanac of American Politics spoke of West in its discussion of the 2008 election:
…former Army Lieutenant Col. Allen West… retired after a 2003 incident in which he fired a gun near the head of an Iraqi detainee in an effort to make him reveal information about plans to attack U.S. troops. West's explanation was that he had "sacrificed" his military career "for the lives of my men."
Also during the 2008 campaign, West charged that a request for an interview from Al-Jezeera was actually part of a kidnapping plot.
The website TalkingPointsMemo.com said this about West:
Without a doubt, Allen West is going to become a new star all around — adored on the right, and a bogeyman of the left. First of all, West built his conservative political career on a particular event from his own military service — when he tortured an Iraqi policeman, and was proud of it. Since then, his attitudes on foreign policy haven't changed much: "A nation goes to war against an ideology. We are against something that is a totalitarian, theocratic, political ideology, and it is called Islam." The incident ended his time in uniform, and launched him on a track to Republican politics.
Also during this past campaign, West faced questions over his campaign's ties to a criminal biker gang, The Outlaws. And at one of his events, a group of leather-clad men ejected a Democratic video tracker, as West got the crowd cheering. (It is unclear whether these same security men were Outlaws. In addition, West has pointed out that he could not possibly be an Outlaw himself — they do not accept African-Americans as members.)
It remains to be seen if West will this interesting once he gets on to the mundane tasks of representing his district in Congress, although being a black Republican will surely get West some media attention no matter what he does.
DID YOU KNOW: South Florida now has three African American representative in the Congress: West; Alcee Hastings, who represents Florida's 23rd District; and newly-elected Fredrica Wilson, of Florida's 17th District. The 17th District seek was previously held by Kendrick Meek. Meek ran for the U.S. Senate this year, and lost in a three-way race (that included outgoing Florida governor Charlie Christ) to Marco Rubio.
Tim Scott, Congressman-elect, 1st District-South Carolina
The other successful Republican African American candidate for U.S. Congress is Tim Scott. Scott will be representing the 1st District of South Carolina. This includes much of the Charleston metro area, although the heavily black parts are in the nearby 6th District. The 6th District is represented by James Clyburn, who is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. Clyburn is the current House Majority (Democratic Party) Whip, which is one of the leadership positions among House Democrats; however, with Republicans taking over the House, his role may change. We'll see.

Political Miscellany 11/6/09: Run-off Elections in Atlanta and Houston
Atlanta Mayoral Race Results in Runoff Election
The much watched Atlanta mayoral race is not over yet. Mayoral candidates Mary Norwood and Kasim Reed will go head to head in a run-off election on December 1, after neither gained the 50% of the vote needed to win the election outright on November 3rd.
Norwood, an at-large member of the Atlanta city council, got 45% of the vote. Reed, who is a Georgia state senator, came in second place with 38% of the vote. Atlanta City Council President Lisa Borders was third with 14% of the vote in an eight person race.
Atlanta City Councilwoman and Mayoral Candidate Mary Norwood
This election has become notable because of the racial dynamics involved. Norwood is white, and if she wins, she will be the first white mayor of Atlanta in 36 years. The city is roughly 56% African American, 36% white, and 5% Hispanic. Although race is the 800 pound gorilla in the room, Norwood is popular throughout many parts of the city, and is seen as having a good chance of winning the run-off.
Georgia State Senator and Atlanta Mayoral Candidate Kasim Reed
In the November 3rd election, Norwood did very well in the white areas of Atlanta, and had some pockets of black support throughout the city as well. Reed did well in southwest Atlanta and in predominantly black areas of northwest and west Atlanta.
The big questions going into the runoff are, who will the supporters of 3rd place finisher Lisa Borders vote for? And, how many people will come out to vote in December? As reported by the Atlanta Journal Constitution,
In 2001, when Shirley Franklin first ran for mayor, 41 percent of registered voters cast ballots. Tuesday, only about 24 percent of registered voters showed up. In many black areas away from Reed's stronghold in southwest Atlanta, voter turnout was extremely low. At the polling station of the Central United Methodist Church on Mitchell Street on the West Side, only 4.63 percent of registered voters cast a ballot. In many southwest Atlanta precincts, more than 30 percent of registered voters turned out.
Low turnout would probably be least favorable to Reed.
Houston Mayoral Race Run-off
The mayoral race in Houston, Texas, has also resulted in a run-off election, to be held on December 12.
The Houston mayoral race has been notable for the diversity of the candidate pool. The leading candidates going into election day on November 3rd were City Councilman Peter Brown, a white Democrat; Harris county Education Trustee Roy Morales, a Hispanic Republican; City Controller Annise Parker, a Democrat, who is openly gay; and former City Attorney Gene Locke, an African American Democrat.
Several of the candidates in Houston's November mayoral election: Gene Locke, Roy Morales, Annise Parker, and Peter Brown. Locke and Parker will be in the December run-off election.
Parker and Locke received 31% and 26% of the vote, respectively, and are headed to the runoff.
If Locke wins, he will be Houston's second African American mayor. If Parker wins, she will be the city's first openly gay mayor, and the first such mayor of as large a city as Houston.
The GOP Can't Help It.
I guess the Republican Party just can't help it. Making crude comments about African Americans, even one who has reached the position of POTUS, seems to be in their DNA. Consider these clumsy remarks by the Republican Party about Barack Obama and his wife Michelle:
• From Newscoma: Tennessee GOP state Senator Diane Black (R-Gallatin) sent an email with this image of our country's presidents.
• From the Indigo Journal: Mike Green, a Republican operative who is helping to run the campaign for GOP gubernatorial candidate Gresham Barrett, posted the following joke about President Obama on his Twitter account:
• Fitsnews.com reports: Republican Rusty DePass, a former SC State Senate candidate, supporter of former President George W. Bush, and Longtime GOP activist, made this comment after hearing about the escape of a gorilla from a zoo in Columbia South Carolina:
"I'm sure it's just one of Michelle's ancestors — probably harmless.
And yet they wonder why they can't get more black votes…

Republican Chairman Steele: 36 People of Color is Not Enough
"Please send some folks to the convention that look like Florida. Could you help a brother out? No more national conventions with [only] 36 people of color in the room."
– Michael Steele, Chairman, Republican National Committee, speaking at a meeting of Florida Republicans in early April.
They say that, to solve a problem, you first have to know what the problem is.
But after you know what the problem is… you need a way to solve the problem, otherwise, the problem doesn't go away.
I'll give this to Michael Steele: he's not afraid to say what the problem is. As discussed in Blacked Out: African Americans Near Invisible at the Republican Convention,
The 36 black delegates to the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minneapolis/St. Paul is the lowest total in 40 years for a Republican National Convention. These delegates represent 1.5 percent of the total number of delegates, substantially below the record setting 6.7 percent in 2004. (Editor's note: The United States is 13% African American.)
Steele's statement is useful, insofar it as it acknowledges the GOP's obvious problem in attracting minorities, and signals that the Republican Party (or at least, that Michael Steele) wants minority input and participation.
The question is: where do they go from there? What is their plan to attract African Americans and Hispanics to the fold?
I have yet to hear it. If you have, drop me a line and let me know.
Racial Politics Absurdity in Mississippi, Part 1
Mississippi, like several states in the deep South, is polarized politically on the basis of race. The majority of whites are Republican, and the overwhelming majority of blacks are Democratic.
The Democratic Party in Mississippi winds up being an integrated group, but it's hardly a place of racial harmony. Bob Moser, in his book Blue Dixie, explains some of the history behind this:
Beginning in the 1970s, Mississippi Democrats had been split by race into two different parties-a fissure far deeper than in most of the South. For years, there were black and white cochairs statewide, and many counties had exclusively black or white executive committees. The divisions stemmed from the 1960s, when most whites who'd historically dominated the party refused to accept black Democrats into the fold-a refusal symbolized by the standoffs over delegations at the national conventions in '64 and '68.
The book goes on to note that over time, black and white Democrats have reconciled and unified throughout the state. But it seems there's still a ways to go before tensions between the two groups are eliminated.
Case in point: the recent reality show drama of the Mississippi Democratic Party's Executive Committee. Consider these events:
• In February, the Mississippi Democratic Party's Executive Committee selected Sam Hall as its new Executive Director. Hall, a political consultant, formerly served the party as a communications director, and was also director of the Mississippi House Democrats' Political Action Committee. As Executive Director, Hall would oversees the daily operations of the party and its staff at the Jackson, MS headquarters.
The vote for Hall was split along racial lines: whites on the Executive Committee voted for Hall, while the black vote was split between the current interim director Rosalind Rawls and Chris Smith. Both Rawls and Smith are black.
Willie Griffin, a black member of the Executive Committee, was publicly critical of Hall's selection. Griffin said that Hall has a history of endorsing Republicans, including Gov. Haley Barbour, Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant, Congressman Chip Pickering and others. Griffin added:
In the last eight to 10 years, our party has been pushing party loyalty… We don't need a Republican speaking for us. We have competent people who can run our party.
• On Saturday, March 21, the Mississippi Democratic Party's Executive Committee held a meeting. Jamie Franks, the Democratic Party Chair, was out of town As such, the vice chair-Barbara Blackmon-conducted the meeting. Note that, Franks is white, Blackmon is white.
At the meeting, Hall was ousted from the Executive Director position by a vote of the Executive Committee – or at least, by the members who were present at the meeting.
• Also at the March 21 meeting, Ike Brown, who is black, is voted onto the Executive Committee. Brown is an extremely controversial figure in Mississippi politics. As noted here:
Brown, the former chair of the Noxubee County Democratic Executive Committee, was removed from that position by a federal judge as a settlement of a federal voting rights lawsuit. Brown was accused of discriminating against white candidates and disenfranchising voters in Noxubee County with his actions. Noxubee County is majority Black. Brown was not re-elected to the state executive committee last year due to his legal troubles.
In a statement, Brown says that in his "zeal to support the Democratic Party and its candidates, I ran afoul of the Voting Rights Act… I look forward to the opportunity to redeem myself as a member of the committee. My future conduct will reflect that I respect the rights of all voters of every race to participate in the election process."
The Mississippi Republican Party immediately made political hay out of Brown's election. Brad White, chairman of the state GOP, said in a news release:
"I think it is outrageous that the leaders of the Mississippi Democratic Party would vote to put Ike Brown, who has been sanctioned by the Department of Justice for violating the voting rights of members of his own party, on their state executive committee which is charged with representing all Mississippi Democrats."

Worldwide Fear of a Black President?
As reported by the Washington Post in its article Racism Rears Its Head in European Remarks on Obama, the election of Barack Obama to US president hasn't been hailed universally across the globe:
Europe erupted in cheers to celebrate Barack Obama's election as president, but the continent is seeing its share of insensitive racial blunders, too.
Over the past week, a number of European lawmakers and journalists have made foot-in-mouth comments regarding America's black president-elect, suggesting that some otherwise respected public figures in Europe are far from enlightened on racial matters.
The day after Obama's victory, a leading Austrian television journalist said on camera that he "wouldn't want the Western world to be directed by a black man." A Polish lawmaker stood up in Parliament and called the election result "the end of the white man's civilization."
Some racist comments have come from people who have expressed such views before. "Africa Conquers the White House," read a headline on the Web site of the National Democratic Party of Germany, a political party that sympathizes with neo-Nazi groups. In an accompanying article, Jürgen Gansel, a party leader and an elected lawmaker in the German state of Saxony, blamed Obama's victory on "the American alliance of Jews and Negroes."

2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L w/ DVD Review
The Odyssey is a very luxurious, sporty, family vehicle with enough power to pass when you need to. The kids love the DVD player and I love the headphones that they wear, it makes for an enjoyable trip for all parties.
I don't care for the low air pressure indicators.
Overall The Odyssey Is An Excellent Vehicle And Well Worth The Investment. — I like the handling, it really handles like a smaller Honda car such as an Accord. The power and acceleration is very good. My favorite thing is how the Odyssey's transmission shifts, it's almost like a sports car. Not bad for a guy in a minivan.

Every Family Needs One! — Love the power and the handling on the people mover. No squeaks or rattles and looks good too. Have only been taking it for regular maintenance so far. No unspecified visit to the mechanic as yet. Honestly, I find it fun to drive too :-)

Good Family Van — Good family van. Easy to accommodate 8 people for the long trip. Of course 6 people will be more suitable. Plenty of luggage room for a family trip of a week or longer. Reliability is also pretty good in my 5 years of using.

Great Family Van. Lots of room and storage.
Poor Gas millage compared to other vehicle's owned.
So Far This Van Is Ok. Next Purchase Would Be Different Dealer — Van is ok. I expected more standard options when we purchased it. My other van's Like (Dodge) had more standard options. The gas millage is very poor for this size engine? I would not purchase another Honda Odyssey again. We had to many problems go wrong with it and I think it is way over priced. Now the Paint is pealing all over the front end. I purchased a Bra to cover it up.

C. Trent has a solid look at the Bengals' 2008 draft, in the course of which he says of tackle Anthony Collins, "[t]here are some in the organization who believe he can replace Levi Jones for good."
Collins started the final six games last season at left tackle.
Peter King thinks the Bengals will pick either Andre Smith or B.J. Raji. Conventional wisdom has Raji off the radar after the Tank Johnson signing, but Tank is just signed for a year, and if the Bengals do indeed see Collins as the LT of the Future, well…okay, I still wouldn't bet on it. More likely Mike Brown exercises his lamentable penchant for offensive skill players.
Speaking of Raji, word now is that the report he tested positive for weed at the combine was, like, totally bogus.
Doc takes a look at the more then meteoric rise of University of Cincinnati JT (Jack of all Trades) Connor Barwin. Projected to be an undrafted free agent last August, Barwin could sneak into the first round Friday. More likely, though, he goes early in the second round. I would not be surprised at all the see him end up in stripes, even if it meant Cincinnati had to trade up a few spots to snag him (New England, picking at 34, is a popular landing spot for Barwin). Why? Barwin's a popular local player, and popular local players sell tickets and merchandise, something the Bengals haven't done so well at lately.
One Man Crime Wave mocks Andre Smith to Cincinnati.
And finally, a comment on Chad Ochoweepo. Yup.

Paper Type
My aim was to create a paper typeface that could be folded from strips/squares of paper. I came up with this as a side project when working on my 3D paper type models. I gave myself some constraints such as the angles I was allowed to fold to keep some coherency across the letterforms.
This is definitely not a finished piece, I'm still not satisfied with some of the letters. I'll be going back to this every so often to see what I could do with it. I'm thinking of creating some sort of publication to include physical paper folded type but it is still early days yet and this might not happen.

If you missed out on Robert Mondavi's 1991 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, try to find a few bottles of the sumptuously rich, decadent, showy 1992 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve that is about to be released. It is a sweeter, riper, more unctuously-styled Cabernet. While it may lack some of the classicism of the 1991 Reserve, it is a super-rich, full-bodied, flamboyant, unctuously-textured wine that should drink well for 20+ years.
(10/ 1995)
Very dark with a hint of brown. Light, odd nose: super fresh, very unlike typical Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Very bordeaux structure. Lots of sweetness plus lively freshness. Just a bit light on fruit concentration for the still slightly rough tannins. Pretty smart, confident finish though. This improved in the glass. 17/20 points.

severe reduction of brain size that characterizes microcephaly in humans (Bond et al., 2002; Jackson et al., 2002). During descent of the ape stem portion of the primate lineage to humans (approximately 25 to 6 Mya), positive selection acted on microcephalin's protein-coding sequence, and during the past 6 million years in descent from the chimpanzee/human LCA to modern humans, positive selection acted on ASPM's protein-coding sequence (Zhang, 2003b; Evans et al., 2004a,b; Kouprina et al., 2004; Wang and Su, 2004).
Language is also considered to be a distinctive human trait. There is evidence of accelerated evolution in the human terminal of the protein-coding sequence of Forkhead Box P2 (FOXP2) (Enard et al., 2002b; Zhang et al., 2002; Spiteri et al., 2007). This gene encodes a transcription factor that influences the expression levels of many brain-expressed genes. FOXP2 mutants have been found in humans with language dysfunction (Lai et al., 2001; MacDermot et al., 2005; Feuk et al., 2006), suggesting that adaptive evolution of FOXP2 may have contributed to the origin of modern human spoken language abilities (Enard et al., 2002b; Zhang et al., 2002). This adaptive evolution may have occurred in archaic humans ancestral to both Neanderthals and modern humans, an inference drawn from the finding that Neanderthal FOXP2 has the same two amino acid replacements that distinguish modern human FOXP2 from the orthologous chimpanzee protein (Krause et al., 2007). The chimpanzee FOXP2 patterns of brain transcriptional regulation differ somewhat from the modern human FOXP2 patterns (Konopka et al., 2009), although there is no direct evidence that the two-amino acid difference of chimpanzee FOXP2 from modern human FOXP2 causes language dysfunction. In addition to evidence suggesting FOXP2 has evolved adaptively in humans, five of the genes that FOXP2 regulates had themselves been under positive selection (Konopka et al., 2009). Several genes involved in the development of the auditory system also show evidence of adaptive evolution in modern humans (A.G. Clark et al., 2003).
A number of recent studies have examined gene expression in the brain transcriptomes of different primate species. More expression changes were observed in the human brain than in other primate brains (Enard et al., 2002a). In general, the majority of these changes involved increased expression (Cáceres et al., 2003). Among the genes found to be up-regulated in modern humans are genes involved in neuronal activity and metabolic processes (Cáceres et al., 2003; Uddin et al., 2004). Genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport) are especially up-regulated in humans (Uddin et al., 2004). Most recently, Nowick and colleagues (2009) suggested that major differences in expression of brain-expressed genes observed between human and chimpanzee may be coordinated by a small number of transcription factors that show differential expression

Tulips Lyrics - My Threnody
..And the night falls once again,
I light the candles...
and as I look out the windows,
the silence and the darkness fill my heart with sorrow.
My body feels, so tired now,
and I hear her voice fading away.. .
the breeze and the cold rain...
and then I could hear a child cry from miles away.
I watch the moon and write about the past,
the tulips in the garden are so sad,
like a lonely bird I watch the night going by,
and I think of when your light would shine so bright,
about the child that once was mine,
and about the flowers that now have died.

Currently leveling through just tanking instances, what would be good gear to get to transition from wotlk instances into the cataclysm instance?
Printable View
Currently leveling through just tanking instances, what would be good gear to get to transition from wotlk instances into the cataclysm instance?
I recommend questing through Cataclsym. It's faster leveling, and the rep will be much more beneficial for gearing later.
That said, if you don't care about ease of access later, for lack of better words to the same end, get tank gear. Green/blue zone drops off trash that itemize well, boss loot, etc. If you level by tanking, I'm going to assume you know what stats you need. Also, see the AH for JC stuff. Nice tanking rings and necks from JC.
^----<---- What he said.
That said, as you're questing there isn't any harm in hitting up LFG and seeing what you get as it is a good way to get loot and experience of the instances before you hit the heroics. However, I wouldn't worry about farming them. As Charon says, there is plenty of good loot to be had from questing, especially the Firelands quests once you hit level 85.
If you've got a reasonable stack of cash, you can buy a lot of crafted ilvl 359 tanking gear cheap on the AH, so you can quickly fill a few slots with that before you even get stuck into the heroics and rep grinding.
If leveled through questing would there be any large difference from tanking the wotlk dungeons and the cata dungeons. My only concern is if I am not ready or able to tank it well.
Since this is my first time tanking I fear doing badly. So figured just straight dungeons would help prepare for stuff.
From the stand point of getting to know fights, I can agree with your desires (Thus leveled my shaman through LFD.. paying for it now. >.<) but questing is WAY faster and makes gearing easier through raising rep with the various factions.
The itemevel requirement is going to force you to gear through the ICC raid (don't do this) buy gear from the AH, or get some Cara quest rewards. I would highly recommend getting the tabards for the zones you are high enough level to get before dungeon crawling if that is your preferred method.
Level 80: Go to va'jir and get friendly and get the tabard. Also go to hyjal get friendly + tabard. Should help with item level and now you can dungeon a bit. Repeat for each new zone you unlock.
Having said that, if you choose this way you will likely have a lot of questing to go back and do for rep+ assorted other things.
I have done both ways. Neither is better/worse. Just a question of preference really. You end up needing to do it all anyways.
I would say do each instance a few times to get a general handle on the fights, but your best bet for gear and especially rep to help with gear and head enchants later on is to quest. Deepholm is about the only zone I really do a huge amount of questing on my alts just to unlock Therazane (but then again I have 6 85s and Cata quests actually bore me, unlike BC or Wrath I actually don't have a favorite zone to quest in with Cata).
