According to a Kansas Department of Health and Environment press release, Kansas' recycling rate has gone from 17.9 percent in 2005 to 34 percent in 2013. These numbers come from the percentage of waste that ends up in recycling centers and not landfills.
One of the reasons for the increase is Johnson County's implementation of its mandatory yard waste recycling program, said Bill Bider, director of KDHE's Bureau of Waste Management.
"New programs in Kansas are making this number rise, and Johnson County's implementation of mandatory curbside yard waste collection is one of the reasons," Bider said.
The press release also states that the daily disposal rate per person has decreased by 24 percent to 4.2 pounds per person over the same time period.
"Kansans have taken this (recycling) to heart," Bider said.
The Adequacy of Waste Reduction Practices in Kansas report can be found here.

After ten months I can now say that my Fett is complete!
I have a few minor teaks to make but for the most part, it is finished.
After ten months I can now say that my Fett is complete!
I have a few minor teaks to make but for the most part, it is finished.
Just in time for Dragon Con I might add!
Nicely done, that is a great looking Boba.
Nice looking Fett, congrats on completing the long and tedious process.
Great looking suit! It looks like a character out of a movie or something!!
Very nice job!
Very nice work there. See ya at D*Con!
Great suit man
that is one nice looking costume mate , just wish mine looked as good
It looks great bro, but one thing I see that I think you should change a bit, is the fact that theres alot of cod showing, mabey you should take and lower the girth and ammo belt down a bit to cover up the top of the cod. Other than that it looks excellent!
Looks awesome, especially for only 10 months. Great job. Just a couple small suggestions- I would bring the shoulder bells down just a tad, and dirty up the suit
Lookin' Good!
Nice !!
Now weather (dirty it up) that baby and your done!!
Very nice!
Very nice!
But isn´t that an ESB-helmet to a ROTJ-outfit?
Is the outfit scratchbuilt?
Holy cow! Kudos on the suit!
Special Edition ROTJ Fett." There are quite a few members on here who have this version of Boba Fett.
Looks good; no shin tools though?
Thanks for the nice comments! Yeah, I realized after the fact that the girth should go over the cod not under it. Like I said, a few more tweaks and the shin tools are almost finished.
Looks great but in order to achieve that final level of realism you should dirty up that suit considerably. Fett was a dirty mess.

Hello everyone,
I'm a 25 year old American guy currently living in Glasgow. I'm interested in teaching overseas for my next step and I'm trying to track down a good 4 or 5 week certification course. I can't seem to find anything beyond a weekend class here in Glasgow, so I'm willing to do a little travel to the surrounding areas to find a decent course offering. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'd like to not get fleeced on prices and I'm a little sick of browsing websites that are trying to sell me something. Looking forward to being a part of this board, thanks in advance.

as is this:
Id like to think people have been doing similar things for near a half century or more, just in less extremes. Did you really have to make a thread about this?
Ps, as I asked in the bagged Lambo thread... ever since mini truckin and the 90's, the performance aspect has increased a lot, making some considered an upgrade from OEM.

Architectural windows like this date back to medieval cathedrals and were always placed high to catch the light.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

Well after another good cleaning and 2 new magazines I took the P239 back to the range and it worked like a Sig - flawlessly.
After reading Todd's thread I ran drills for the first 50 rounds just firing DA and I did improve. Relaxed and softened the squeeeze on the SA and she fired like a champ. I was worried about accuracy with the 3.5" barrel but I didn't notice much difference between it and the 4" barrel.
Bottom line - Love it and glad I got it.

Summit Up 11-4-12: Short, but not that sweet
November 4, 2012
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that is relishing the fact that we have a space today that matches our level of inspiration. Luckily (or perhaps unluckily) we have a Scum Alert!! Scum Alert!! to help fill this not-so-massive column space today. Kat White of Fairplay passed along this unfortunate alert:
"Scum Alert, goes out to the low life that stole my snowmobile and sleigh from my elk hunting camp this week. Thanks a lot, now how do I get 15 miles down the mountain with all my gear? Guess you really could care less."
Those who make the scummy decision to take what's not theirs are the lowest of the low, and we aim a thousand pointy arrows of bad karma at all of you!

It's never a bad time to be named FOXSportsNEXT.com national champion, of course, but the way it all came together for No. 1 John Curtis Christian -- on Christmas Eve, for added holiday cheer -- made it seem like the Patriots were destined to win their first national crown during a year where the River Ridge-based power was celebrating its 50th year of existence and also snatching a Louisiana record 25th state title.
Curtis successfully fended off criticism of a schedule that was, overall, average at best with a few tough large non-district foes preceding the Pats' foray into a district slate riddled with mismatches.
At the end of 15 weeks (Curtis had an open date along the way), the Patriots were a perfect 14-0 after handily defeating Evangel Christian in the Class 2A finals.
The Patriots have won 28 straight and the highlights of 2012 will be covered in the near future in a follow-up segment to this article.
The heavily family-oriented coaching staff is headed up by J.T Curtis Jr., son of the late Rev. J.T. Curtis Sr, the school's founder.
Curtis, who passed the 500-win mark earlier this year, is second among all prep football coaches in career victories. He's joined by several family members on the staff who will be discussed in greater detail in follow-up editions to this series.
"No doubt he is smiling down," said offensive coach Jeff Curtis, son of J.T. and a former Curtis/Tulane quarterback. "I am so happy for him, my dad, the past players, current players and all who have worked so hard at allowing us to have this opportunity.
"It is a true honor to the sacrifice and dedication that those have made to allow this great honor. We look forward to continuing on with this great tradition of building champions for life!"
The Patriots relied on a combination of incredible depth and overwhelming physical team strength to easily cruise past all competitors, including a week two signature rout of Tampa Plant, which entered the contest ranked higher than the Pats.
"It's an honor to play for Curtis," wrote Duke Riley, the highest-profile (and highest-ranked) 2013 prospect. "I wouldn't want to play for any other team or coaches..."
An uncommitted outside linebacker, Riley was named all-state defensive most valuable player following both his junior and senior seasons. He led the team in tackles the past three years.
"I mean it's a great goal cause we always strive to be the best," said Tulane 2013 RB commit Sherman Badie, who is ranked nationally at his position (and pictured below, photos by author). "It feels good knowing that all that hard work and running we used to do all paid off.
"We now can say that we're #1! It's a great accomplishment."
One of four Curtis seniors that are committed to Tulane, Badie paced a busy Curtis backfield in rushing the past two years. He only carried the football 69 times in 14 games but ripped through defenses for 814 yards and 16 TDs.
Another member of the starting RB rotation is 2014 George Moreira (5-9, 195, 4.5).
"My thoughts on it (consensus No. 1) are it's pretty amazing," said Moreira, who ranked third in rushing and averaged 13.5 yards per carry with eight touchdowns.
"We made history with Curtis' first national championship. All of the hard work has paid off and it's a blessing."
The Patriots have a strong case for preseason No. 1 in 2013 with impact players such as Moreira and junior CB Terrence Alexander coming back.
"I think it's great that we earned the title," said Alexander, who holds offers from Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Tulane, Kansas State and Cincinnati. "We put too much work in not to get it.
"And it's just given the juniors like myself something to uphold and keep going. Also, it puts a target on our back. Hopefully we can get a lot of good games next year."
Curtis moves up to Class 3A next year where the playoffs should certainly be much more interesting thanks to programs like defending champ Parkview Baptist, Notre Dame of Crowley, St. Charles Catholic, Amite and Farmerville.
That's not to mention Evangel and University Lab, both accompanying the Patriots on a jump from 2A to 3A.

Exstrophy of the bladder is a complex combination of disorders that occurs during fetal development. It usually involves many systems in the body, including the urinary tract, skeletal muscles and bones, and the digestive system. Bladder exstrophy means that the bladder is essentially inside out and exposed on the outside of the abdomen. Because the bladder and other structures are exposed to the outside of the body, urine constantly trickles onto the skin causing local irritation.
Epispadias is usually seen with exstrophy of the bladder. Epispadias occurs when the urethral opening, which is the hollow tube that drains urine from the bladder to the outside of the body, is in an abnormal location. In males, the opening is usually on the topside of the penis and not the tip. This is different than hypospadias where the opening is usually underneath the penis. In girls, the urethral opening may be positioned further up the urethra and may be bigger and longer than normal. Often in girls, the opening extends to the bladder.
According to the American Urologic Association, this is a rare disorder that occurs in about 2.07 in every 100,000 births. It is slightly more common in males and varies in severity. The cause of exstrophy of the bladder is unknown. Although some reports show a clustering of exstrophy of the bladder in families, suggesting an inherited factor. However, the chance for parents to have another child with exstrophy of the bladder is small (1% or less). The disorder may occur in varying degrees from mild to severe. In many cases, exstrophy of the bladder is associated with the following:
Widened pubic bones
Outwardly rotated legs and feet
Triangle-shaped defect in the abdomen and visibility of the membrane of the bladder that is usually bright pink
Abnormally-shaped abdominal muscles
Displacement of the umbilicus (belly button), usually above the defect
Umbilical hernia may be present (section of intestine protrudes through a weakness in the abdominal muscles)
Short, small penis with urethral opening along top of penis (epispadias)
Narrow vaginal opening, wide labia, and short urethra
Exstrophy of the bladder can usually be diagnosed by fetal ultrasound before an infant is born. After the infant is born, exstrophy can be determined by physical exam. Your child's doctor may order other tests.
After a diagnosis is made, your child will be referred to a surgeon for surgical repair. There are usually three stages to the surgical repair that start when your child is as young as 48 hours old. The first stage involves internalization of the bladder and closing the abdomen. The second stage may be done as early as 6 months of age and involves repairing the epispadias and other genital abnormalities. The final surgery is done at around age 4 to 5, when the bladder is large enough and the child is psychologically ready to be dry. This final surgery involves reconstruction of the urinary tract including the bladder, and other structures of the urinary tract.

« more RISD stories
RISD's Moonbuggy team is on a roll. From left to right, Industrial Design students Zach Jenkins 13, Anna Dooley 13, Kyle Dell'aquila 12, Sehee Lim 13, Kyle Moore 12, Maeve Jopson 13, Ilya Brukhman 12, Alicia Lew 11, Bryan Cloyd 11, Clifford Warren 11 and Yarrow Thorne 12
April 1-2, a team of RISD students participated
in this year's NASA Great Moonbuggy
in Huntsville, AL, competing against teams from nearly 90 schools and colleges from as far away as Germany, Russia,
India and Ethiopia. The goal? To design, build and race lightweight, human-powered
vehicles over a half-mile of lunar-like terrain. Success rested on finding innovative solutions to engineering challenges similar to those
faced in building the actual all-terrain vehicles used on the moon.
Last year RISD was the first art and design
school ever to enter the race and took home third place. This year students
spent late nights and countless hours building a better buggy, hoping that the
many changes and enhancements they made would help them improve on last
year's finish.
Moonbuggy competition is just one of several ways that RISD and NASA have been working together for
more than 15 years. Other collaborative projects have had Industrial Design
students looking at design for extreme
managing information overload and other innovative solutions for living and working
in zero-gravity.
Update: RISD was awarded Best Moonbuggy Design (for solving engineering problems associated with lunar travel)

Auto complete for user names and passwords is largely managed by the users browser or browser add-ons. It is not a function that is handled by a website, but rather is a part of your browser. In some cases auto complete entries can have typos in them or otherwise become unusable or your auto complete feature is turned off or is not setup correctly. The usual fix is to look in your browser settings to clear your auto complete history or consult your browser help documentation.
Here's how to turn off autocomplete in Internet Explorer
Some 3rd party software products, such as, the Polaris Catalog may restrict Auto complete in your browser for various security and privacy reasons. We have two work a rounds at this time if you desire this functionality for the catalog: 1) Use Firefox for your browser or 2) Use a free 3rd party software product called lastpass.com to securely manage your login entries (usernames and password) rather than rely on the browser.
AOL UsersSome AOL users have reported errors when searching the catalog. AOL Recommends upgrading their software with the latest security upgrade. You can download All-In-One Desktop software here: http://daol.aol.com/software/. This usually fixes the problem.
Clear browser cache (and IE browser reset)Sometimes browsers can save an error in the users computer. Clearing the history and cache will clear the errors out. Here are the steps for many popular browsers.
If you're using Internet Explorer and clearing the cache doesn't work, please try a full browser reset. This brings the browser back to the default manufacturer settings. To perform the reset: Look in the menu bar at the top and click 'Tools' and then 'Internet Options' and then click the 'Advanced' tab, from there click the 'Reset' button at the bottom and then click 'Reset' on the next screen. Close your browser and restart.

He resigned a month ago this week. Now we know why. The former Mayor of Grandview appears in court this week and pleads guilty to wire fraud. Steve Dennis had solicited $35,000 in donations from the International House of Prayer to a nonprofit he had created. Instead of the money going to the poor and disadvantaged, he allegedly pocketed the cash.
The New York Times questions Senator Pat Roberts' residency
How important is it to you that your elected leaders live in the areas they serve? Kansas Senator Pat Roberts' re-election campaign is on the defensive this week after a new report questions the three-term senator's ties to his home state.
The New York Times says Roberts does not have a home of his own in Kansas, but is registered to vote at a donor's house in Dodge City. In fact, he pays them $300 a month to stay there. Roberts quipped that he has "full access to the recliner", though he could not tell the Times how many times he had stayed there.
Missouri's execution drug blocked, again…
Missouri is on its third lethal injection drug in less than six months. But this week, a federal judge is blocking an out-of-state pharmacy from providing the latest execution drug used to kill Missouri's death row inmates.
The move comes just two weeks before the state's next execution: Michael Taylor was found guilty in 1989 for the murder of 15-year-old Ann Harrison, who was waiting for a school bus in front of her Kansas City home when she was kidnapped, sexually assaulted and stabbed to death.
Issues central to the gay community top the headlines on both sides of the state line…
It wasn't just a University of Missouri football player by the name of Michael Sam who was dominating the news.
In this same week as Sam's announcement, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon says he wants a re-vote on gay marriage in the Show-Me State. He says he supports repealing Missouri's constitutional amendment and would vote in favor of same sex unions.
The Governor is facing an impeachment effort from a group of state lawmakers unhappy over his order allowing same-sex marriage tax returns. Also this week, the ACLU sues Missouri for not recognizing gay marriages.
In Kansas, a bill allowing service refusal to gay couples passes the Kansas House. Supporters describe it as a religious freedom measure following cases such as the one in Colorado where a baker who refused to make a cake for a gay couple was given an ultimatum by a judge: serve gay weddings or face fines.
Despite swift passage in the Kansas House, the measure has stumbled in the Kansas Senate.
KC'S Jane Chu to lead National Endowment for the Arts?
President Obama has nominated Jane Chu, the head of Kansas City's Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, to lead the National Endowment for the Arts, filling a post that has been vacant for over a year.
Arts groups welcomed Chu's nomination for the agency, which has been a favorite target of conservative groups for its sometimes controversial grants. The Senate must confirm Chu for the position.
States around the country are warming to the idea of legalizing pot. A recent Gallup Poll for the first time shows that a clear majority of Americans (58%) say the drug should be legalized. But Jackson County legislator Bob Spence wants to ensure that never happens here.
Fearing that Missouri might join the growing number of states that have legalized marijuana for medical and recreational purposes, he says it's time for the state to take a stand against that trend. The Lee's Summit Republican is trying to pass a resolution that would put Jackson county on record as opposing any effort to decriminalize pot in the Show-Me State.
Meanwhile in Kansas, this Valentine's Day there's a rally at the statehouse in support of a Kansas Senate bill known as the "Cannabis Compassion and Care Act". The measure introduced by Wyandotte County Senator David Haley would permit the use of marijuana by patients with qualifying medical conditions. This seems like an incremental change to current Kansas law, but even that measure has been bottled up with Senate leaders refusing to give it a hearing.

text: Hi there ! I submit my question to your advisory board What "could happen" if I switch from John Wilson Coronation Ace to Ultima Ultra lite ? My actual blades are quite "EOL" (1-2 sharpenings max. left) and I'll have to buy new ones in a few months... The model I have suits my level and will be OK for my present and future skating level (FYI, I'm 41 and started to skate two years ago. My goal is to achieve to get all my simple jumps -if a "double" happens to come, I'll be delightful, but it's not a goal in itself- doing some quite nice footwork and spins. I'm quite tall (171cm) and athletic, with a lot of strength in my legs and a good body core), but... I'm usually not that kind of girl who buys someting only because of the look, but... I don't know why, but I LOVE how the Ultra Lite look and... yes, I admit, I could be "that kind of girl" regarding those blades ! So, Pfffflllllleeeeeease (*Roger Rabbit's voice*), gimme some good reasons to switch or to be reasonnable !! Thanks a lot !

Prosecutorial Discretion and Plea Bargaining in Federal Criminal Courts in the United States, 1983-1990 (ICPSR 9844)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Sentencing Commission
The primary purpose of this data collection was to study whether prosecutorial behavior was affected by the implementation of federal criminal sentencing guidelines in 1987. Monthly time series data were constructed on a number of prosecutorial outcomes, representing either discrete decision steps in the processing of criminal cases or the characteristics of cases that passed through the system. Variables include disposition year and month, number of matters initiated, number of cases filed, declined, and dismissed, number of convictions by trial, by jury, and by bench trial, number of guilty pleas, ratio of guilty pleas to cases resolved, and ratio of trials to cases resolved. The collection also provides a series of dichotomous variables to assess the impact of various events on prosecutorial outcomes over time. These events include the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 (effective November 1986), implementation of the sentencing guidelines (November 1987), Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (November 1988), United States Supreme Court's decision in the Minstretta case affirming the constitutionality of the sentencing guidelines (January 1989), and Attorney General Thornburgh's memo outlining Justice Department policy on charging and prosecution (March 1989).

Can you spot whats wrong here?
I mean seriously, where the heck are they taking my package??
Can you spot whats wrong here?
I mean seriously, where the heck are they taking my package??
I'm not sure I follow. How far is Tallahassee from Pompano Beach? It arrived at PB at 5:42AM...could it still be delivered to Tallahassee by close-of-business?
It may just be all on distributing centers.
Be glad it is Fedex not UPS. 2 weeks ago, I bought that Clone helmet and blasters from Revolver, UPS tracking online said delivered, I got home it wasn't there. After bein on the phone for about a half hour, they told me it was at my back door. Considering I have a locked fence so they can't do that hahah! So I figured it was delivered to another house, and they tried contacting driver, blah blah blah. A neighbor down the street brought it up to my house and said it was delievered to them by mistake. DOH! Don't get me started on UPS throwing packages.
Now that is just screwed up...
I am guessing they flew in to Orlando. that would be kinda normal, then dispersed from Orlando. As for why the frak it went south from Orlando, you got me. I know FedEx used to fly into Tallahassee, but not sure where they flew into Tally from. I would guess Orlando. Maybe wrong truck to West Palm area lol. Or maybe there is a flight out of WP sooner than Orlando. Which is doubtful...
yay DeFex!
Anyways, there is an aiport here in tally, and I dont see any reason that they couldnt fly it into here. I thought the same too about it going into orlando, but assumed it would be flown here. Guess Not. I can assure that if it says "delivered," the FedEx corporation will NOT like me very much
Wow... FedEx has been dropping the ball a lot letely. One guy on BOTB was awaiting a screen-used belt buckle and when the box came, it wasn't in it, despite the seller assuring him it would be.
I hope my new cowl doesn't go through this
I'm getting a begins cowl (not my favorite, but it's a freebie) and he's sendign it FedEx.......
*curls into a ball and thinks about pancakes*
I've never had any issues with UPS or FedEx... Have you tried calling FedEx?
Well I have your tracking number. I am going to have them ship it to my house!
LOL Maybe they overshot Tallahassee and only realized the booboo when they hit the Everglades.
ah, ok now I get it - and I dont get it at the same time since it makes no sense for FedEx to send your package there... weird.
This is why I hate FedEx.
Last year, ordered some stuff from Oriental Trading Co., which is based in Nebraska, to be shipped to Dallas almost two weeks before All-Con. I check the package tracking, and my box has traveled from Omaha to Dallas to HOLLYWOOD, for no apparent reason. The Oriental Trading guy couldn't figure that one out, either. Naturally, the box arrives at my doorstep the Monday after All-Con. (Oriental Trading was nice, though, and overnighted a new order for me, which did arrive on time.)
If it arrived in Orlando, so be it ... it's probably a hub for FedEx. But why on earth is it going SOUTH??? If PB was north of Orlando, then I might understand ... but south?? Now it's over 400 miles away.
When I bought my Anakin boots, I was guaranteed they would be there by August 15th. I got them a week after Dragon*Con. LAME!!!
Bah! Its still in pompano beach. It rescheduled delivery for next monday. I might as well pick it up since I just got into Ft lauderdale now!
Anyways, I was lucky enough that I was able to get my other package from UPS, however, I had to track down the truck personally, and ended up getting my MR Westar's on the corner of a walmart and Lincoln/mercury dealership...
At least I have these two shiny blasters to play with lol
It has something to do with where the main hubs are. I know in my job we have a warehouse in Calfornia and when we send stuff via UPS to California it goes out of Cali into another state to a sorting center and hub before it comes back and delivers in Cali again.
The postal system is so much better than curriers. I don't know why people choose curriers. They cost more, they have more delivery problems, they have ten times the paperwork, and when you send something over the border... well, be prepared to spend an extra arm and/or leg on "hidden charges". I NEVER use UPS or any such service if I can help it. People rag on the postal system, but I have had very little problem with them.

The Burma mouthpieace, "The New Light" shed some light on what is actually happening inside the country which has been devastated by a cyclone. Unlike the biased western media which goes around taking pictures of devastation and reports that over a 100,000 are dead, the reality according to the military's mouth piece is its wonderful efficient government has swung into action and cleaned up the mess. In fact, they are even giving people 15 poles and tellling them to build a house and, if they actually need food, there are always those wonderful frogs that can be eaten. After all, eating rice and stuff like that which the world has tried sending will only get people fat.
The New Light blames the western world and the media for after cyclone problems. It insists "these foreign news agencies are issuing such groundless news stories with the intention of tarnishing the image of Myanmar and msleading the international community into believing that cyclone victims do not receive assistance."
The leaders of Burma were so concerned with the impact of the cyclone they felt it necessary to go through with a referendum on a new constitution as people were suffering without food or water. We all know which comes first, a constitution which ensures continued rule by the thugs who run Myanmar or assistance for those who are suffering.

Cole dawg, I believe in you so much it's like I know you personally. Stay true to you. This industry is a cold world, never let them break you down for the fame and fortune. that shit don't mean a thing in the long run. Keep doing you. Your music is powerful on it's own. You've spoken to so many people just by your mixtape. I see it. Stay humble and Hungry. Your album will be the first I buy in some yearsss.

We crossed paths on the way out and you took the time out to peace me up, and I told you I was diggin the tracks. Fellow SJU alum too bruh, thats what it is. Keep doin what you do. You the type of cat people wanna go out and support forreal.

J. Cole, you're honestly one of my favorite lyricist's and i think you're the best person in Hip Hop at the moment. Since i first downloaded "The Warm Up", i haven's stopped listening to it, it's better then many albums some rappers have ever put out. I've gotten all my friends hooked on you lol now they all can't stop listening to you. Can't wait for your album and i've been trying so hard to go see you in concert, hopefully this summer you'll be in NY so i can go, keep up the work bro, you've got us all behind you.

J.Cole you are such a fuckin inspiration to not just sit here and eat chicken wings all day. Every song is just on point on every level, there are so many bars where I'm just like o shit! It's like Tupac is living through you. I respect you don't just put out bullshit for the sake of it so when u do put something out; it's more of an event. You are soo talented and I can honestly say your album is the first I will be buying in a very long time (last album I bought was like College Dropout lol nah there's gtta b one more recently... ) because I KNOW that it will be that good.
I CANNOT WAIT to see you at Wireless Festival and it's about fuckin time you came to London!!!
Keep doing what you do and me and my people will see you in July wooo
Hope U Sell A Million x2,
Cole World!

Everyone has a story, why should yours matter?...
You do an amazing job of helping people find contentment with their struggles/experiences/mistakes/demons and instilling motivation to keep going. You have no idea what your words over a track do to some people, I am truly mesmorized by your stream of conciousness and i BELIEVE in you. so, THANK YOU, for getting me through...a lot...and THANK YOU for believing in your talent enough to climb a shaky ladder and pursue your dreams. --Feven (Boston)

Congrats on the all the success, man. Looking forward to the album. I appreciate your nuance when you rhyme. You're honest. You talk about the vices of life, but you also rhyme about struggling against them. That dichotomy, that battle, always makes for great art.

Cole, you and truly and inspiration and it is an honor of mine to be blessed to listen to anything you put out. I did not have a chance to see you when you came to WSSU a few months back but I heard you did an awessome job. Since October/November I have played either The Come Up and/or The Warm Up everyday, along with other stuff you are on. I just want you to know that you are very much appreciated by all of your fans. I just wish more people were more aware of the greatest you have put out but I'm sure it will all come in due time.. I wish you much success, and know whatever you set out to do you can achieve. You are truly blessed and NC loves you.

I wonder if you even read these? Anyhow. Thanks for authenticity, for being so humble and giving hope to young hip hop heads... they say we don't know what real music is because of whats being played on the radio, but of course they havent heard you. Having you at the Hip Hop Summit was a blessing, still reliving that night!

this is the first time i've been this excited about hip hop in a long time... probably since Pac forreal. you give me that energy! i'm a late comer... first heard u on Wale's Beautiful Bliss late in 09 which prompted me to get up on The Warm Up, The Come Up, freestyles, and anything else you were bringin. You're becoming my favorite rapper easily. I don't know if I can wait til October 26th!!! I guess I have to, but just know that i don't WANT to :)... I already know its gonna set the world on fire! Man, I Love you & thank you for making music we can relate to/that good music.

Hey J. Cole,
I love love looooooove you!
All your mixtapes are on constant rotation in my music player. I never get tired of listening to you!
You're real and motivating and you go hard!
In my opinion some ppl are still sleepin on you because you're not that mainstream (and I hope you will always stay true to yourself) but its like you said, ppl are still being put up on you every day!
And once you know J.Cole there's no ignoring him!
I know you will make it anywhere you want to go! You got my support!
Take care, and hope to see you in action soon!
Much love from Flatbush BK u already know!
