The oceans have significant adaptive capacity to store heat and are the largest
reservoir of water vapor and CO2, although the storage capacity for CO2 in the
Southern Ocean recently has been questioned (Caldeira and Duffy, 2000). In the
oceans, climate change will induce temperature changes and associated adjustments
in ocean circulation, ice coverage, and sea level. Changes in the frequency
of extreme events also may be expected. These changes, in turn, will affect
marine ecosystem structure and functioning, with feedback to global biogeochemical
cycles and the climate system.
Recent investigations have shown that there has been a general warming of a
large part of the world ocean during the past 50 years (Levitus et al., 2000).
Analysis of historical SST data by Cane et al. (1997) shows an overall increase
associated with land-based global temperature trends. Regional differences exist
such that over the past century a cooling was observed in the eastern equatorial
Pacific, combined with a strengthening of the zonal SST gradient.
Global mean sea-level has risen by about 0.1-0.2 mm yr-1 over the past
3,000 years and by 1-2 mm yr-1 since 1900, with a central value of 1.5
mm yr-1. TAR WGI Chapter 11 projects that for the full range of the six illustrative
scenarios in the IPCC's Special Report on Emissions Scenarios, sea level
will rise by 0.09-0.88 m between 1990 and 2100. This range is similar to
the total range of projections given in the SAR of 0.13-0.94 m. Higher
mean sea level will increase the frequency of existing extreme levels associated
with storm waves and surges.
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation is a natural part of the Earth's
climate. A major issue is whether the intensity or frequency of ENSO events
might change as a result of global warming. Timmermann et al. (1999) suggested
an increased frequency of El Niño-like conditions under future greenhouse
warming and stronger "cold events" in the tropical Pacific Ocean.
Cooling has been observed in the eastern equatorial Pacific, not reproduced
in most GCMs, and has been explained by an increase in upwelling from the strengthening
of trade winds because of a uniform warming of the atmosphere (Cane et al.,
1997). If temperature differences between the tropics and polar regions are
reduced, however, a weakening of the atmospheric circulation patterns that cause
upwelling could be expected.
In recent years there have been several studies of global ocean wind and wave
climates (e.g., Young, 1999), but analyses of changes over the past few decades
have been limited to a few regions. In the past 30 years there has been an increase
in wave height over the whole of the North Atlantic, although scientists are
not certain that global change is the cause of this phenomenon (Guley and Hasse,
1999). Similarly, analyses of wave buoy data along the entire west coast of
North America demonstrate that the heights of storm-generated waves have increased
significantly during the past 3 decades (Komar et al., 2000). On the U.S. east
coast, analyses have shown that there has been no discernible long-term trend
in the number and intensity of coastal storms during the past century, although
there has been considerable interdecadal variation (Zhang et al., 2000). The
sensitivity of storm waves to a hypothetical sea-level rise and increase in
wind strength recently has been modeled for Uruguay (Lorenzo and Teixeira, 1997).
Projected changes in tropical cyclone frequency and intensity remain inconclusive,
although some studies have suggested that the maximum intensity of tropical
cyclones may rise by 10-20% (Henderson-Sellars et al., 1998; Knutson et al., 1998). Walsh and Pittock (1998) and Walsh and Katzfey (2000) also suggest
that once formed, tropical cyclone-like vortices might travel to higher latitudes
and persist for longer as a result of increased SST.
Increased precipitation intensity in extreme events is suggested by climate
models under doubled CO2 for Europe (Jones et al., 1997) and the United States
(Mearns et al., 1995), and there is firm evidence that moisture in the atmosphere
is increasing over China, the Caribbean region, and the western Pacific (Trenberth,
1999). Heavy rainfall increased during the 20th century in the United States
(Karl and Knight, 1998), and there is evidence for increased precipitation rates
in Japan and Australia (Iwashima and Yamamoto, 1993; Suppiah and Hennessy, 1998).
Changes in the probability of heavy precipitation also are regarded as important
indicators of climate change.
Globally, oceanic thermohaline circulation plays an important role in controlling
the distribution of heat and greenhouse gases. This circulation is driven by
differences in seawater temperature and salinity. There is some evidence that
the global thermohaline circulation will weaken as a result of climate change,
although views on this issue are still evolving.
Sea ice covers about 11% of the ocean, depending on the season. It affects
albedo, salinity, and ocean-atmosphere thermal exchange. The latter determines
the intensity of convection in the ocean and, consequently, the mean time scale
of deep-ocean processes affecting CO2 uptake and storage. Projected changes
in climate should produce large reductions in the extent, thickness, and duration
of sea ice. Major areas that are now ice-bound throughout the year are likely
to have lengthy periods during which waters are open and navigable. Observations
in the northern hemisphere already have shown a significant decrease in spring
and summer sea-ice extent by about 10-15% since the 1950s. It also has
been suggested that the decline in ice volume is underestimated because of significant
thinning of sea ice in the Arctic (Rothrock et al., 1999). Evidence from whaling
records implies a decline in Antarctic ice extent by as much as 25% between
the mid-1950s and the early 1970s (de la Mare, 1997).
The foregoing physical responses in the ocean-climate system have implications
for habitat and ecology in the oceans and coastal seas. Projected climate changes
have the potential to become a major factor affecting marine living resources
over the next few decades. The degree of the impact is likely to vary within
a wide range, depending on the species and community characteristics and the
regional specific conditions. Smith et al. (1999) review the sensitivity of
marine ecosystems to climate change.

By a curious fluke of timing, two family melodramas open in Boston movie theaters this week. They couldn't be more different. "August: Osage County" is a smorgasbord of Hollywood art and commerce, from its headliners (Streep, Roberts) to its Broadway pedigree to the Big Acting smeared all over the furniture. By contrast, "The Past," the new film from Iranian director Asghar Farhadi, is taut, quiet, democratic, observant — a fine meal made with rare and subtle ingredients. One film fills the belly, the other nourishes the soul; one gives you an instant cholesterol hit, the other you'll be coming back to taste in your imagination for days. I wish I'd enjoyed "August" a little less and loved "The Past" a little more, but there you go. It may depend on what you're hungry for when you see each movie.
In any event, "The Past" can't be denied, even if it's not quite up to the level of Farhadi's "A Separation," winner of the best foreign language film Oscar in 2012. Part of that earlier film's appeal was the novelty of its setting — for Western moviegoers, at least — and its vision of modern relationships struggling to function in a quasi-medieval theocracy. The new movie takes place on the outskirts of Paris, amid working-class French and Iranian immigrants, and at first the title seems a misnomer. Everyone here is trying to get away from the past. If only it were that easy.
As in "A Separation," a husband and wife are splitting up. Ahmad (Ali Mosaffa) has returned to France after four years in Tehran to sign the divorce papers; it's a formality, but the more he hangs around his French ex, Marie (Bérénice
Bejo), the further he gets pulled back into her problems. Bejo, the Argentinian-born actress who came (silently) to the attention of American moviegoers in "The Artist," gives the film's centerpiece performance, and it's a finely wrought exercise in audience frustration and sympathy. Marie's a beauty whose looks are beginning to fray, a free spirit whose many men have left her with two daughters by different fathers and a third on the way. She makes lousy decisions, snaps easily, smokes while pregnant, and is wholly, disarmingly human — like the haphazard house she lives in, she's a work constantly in progress. A more fully realized portrait of a woman trying to flee her past by living in the present — and thereby creating more pasts worth fleeing — you won't find this year.
Next to her, Ahmad comes to seem something like a saint. He should just sign his name and split, but the sorrow of Marie's adolescent daughter, Lucie (Pauline Burlet), is too much to bear. Marie's latest flame, the father of her unborn child, is Samir (Tahar Rahim), a nice enough fellow with a dry cleaning business and a troubled wife (Aleksandra Klebanska) who's in a coma following a suicide attempt — the one plot development that tugs "The Past" in the direction of traditional melodrama. (A good thing? A bad thing? Discuss.) Samir also has a little son, Fouad (Elyes Aguis), who reacts to the chaos in his life with growing anger and intransigence; Aguis, in one of the most heartrending child perform-
ances in recent movies, lets us see the street tough the kid may grow up to be and the battle-scarred survivor he may yet become.
There are secrets and lies, wrong calls made for right reasons, and everyone's complicit one way or another. Even Ahmad's an angel, you sense, because of past sins. But where the revelations come crashing out in capital letters in a barnburner like "August: Osage County," "The Past" is more interested in the ways people minimize the pain and damage of their actions, only to perpetuate them. Farhadi is heir to a European tradition of movie realism that goes back to Renoir, forward to the New Romanian Cinema, and straight through much of what is great in Iranian films of the last three decades: heavy on long camera takes, light on soundtrack music, above all allowing characters to act in ways that prompt insight into human behavior by creating situations and standing back to see what happens. "The Past" isn't a movie for people who want to escape the real world but who want to understand it better, and one walks away holding beautiful pieces of the puzzle in one's hands, trying to see how they fit.
Still, is it wrong to ask for some kind of juice, just a little blood on the floorboards? "The Past" is an impeccable work of filmmaking that moves forward steadily and without a great deal of dynamic modulation; you come to care for the characters
-- all of them, even the pills -- while still feeling like Marie and Ahmad in the opening scene at the airport, separated by a glass partition in International Arrivals. On the other end of the running time, though, is the film's final image, a lulu and a Rorschach test that apparently allows each moviegoer to see exactly what he or she wants to see. I know what I saw (or think I saw): a tear witnessed only by the audience and a hand that never moves. We're always looking in the wrong places, says "The Past," and yet we never give up hope.

Ryan Gosling Says the Worst Thing You Can Call Someone Is 'Dumb Hipster'
Of all the insults.
There are very few words in Only God Forgives, Ryan Gosling's latest collaboration with Nicolas Winding Refn. But the words are memorable. For example: "cum dumpster," which Kristin Scott Thomas, who plays Gosling's mother, calls his character's female friend. The idea for the insult came from Gosling, Refn told us earlier this year at Cannes. "I would ask Ryan, 'So what's the worst thing you can call a woman in America?'" Refn said at the festival. "He goes, 'We call her this ...'" We gave Gosling a chance to set the record straight last night, at a screening of the movie at BAM. "You know, as shocked as you are by that [expression], I'm as shocked to be thrown under the bus for that," Gosling said.
"They were trying to come up with terrible things to say, and what was the worst thing you could say, and there was a long list of options, which they came up with, too, which never hit the newsstands, thank God. But Kristen got it wrong: I said the worst thing you could call someone was a "dumb hipster." And she heard it in this other way, and I can't take responsibility for how her brain twists things." So the worst thing you can call someone is "dumb hipster"? [He laughs.] "Yes." You heard it from Ryan Gosling.

Perhaps the most indelible image from Stephen Colbert's trip to Iraq is the clip of the faux conservative firebrand getting his hair shorn. In a show of solidarity with America's fighting men and women, he had his head shaved on camera by Gen. Ray Odierno, on orders from President Obama himself.
But what Colbert remembers most from his week of shows inside the combat zone — titled "Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando" — was the connection he made with that live audience that had little to do with shear lunacy.
"As friends of mine had told me who had done this kind of work before, there was an immediate and startling affection from the men and women over there," he said shortly after his return to the States. "They're grateful to you. That immediately gives you a purpose beyond just the purpose to make them laugh. It becomes to make them laugh, and to show your appreciation to them.
"The response was deeply emotional and not intellectual. It was a very beautiful feeling and one that will take me a while to (assess) and extricate from the tangle of my present exhaustion."
The trip to Iraq was the highest-profile event in a year of triumph for Colbert. In September "The Colbert Report" won an Emmy for writing for a variety, music or comedy program. The show attracts an average of 1.5 million viewers per night and draws more males in the 18-24 demo than any other broadcast latenight show, according to Nielsen Media Research.

4 major phone carriers providing text-to-911
16 states have technology
MONTPELIER, Vt. —
The head of the organization that oversees Vermont's 911 emergency telephone system says the state is the first in the country where customers of the four major wireless carriers can send text messages to 911.
David Tucker says that as of Monday T-Mobile customers in Vermont are now able to text 911.
Verizon, AT&T and Sprint began the service earlier.
The Federal Communications Commission says that local governments in 16 states are now using it and the chief executive of the Virginia-based National Emergency Number Association calls it a big deal.
Brian Fontes says that it's important that the nation's 911 centers are equipped with technology to provide information to emergency responders.

I am brand new to this site and hope someone can help me. I just started playing tennis this year and love it.
I think I have a good ey for the ball and can get myself in decent positions, I play right handed and double backhand. However when I can't practice on a court I practice in my garden against the back of the house, a brick wall and practice returning. however to avoid hitting the window I have to hit high so my forehand swing sort of my arm swings and my racket ends up curved on my right hand side. If I let my arm swing fully so the racket ends up on my left shoulder side will this help me hit lower balls?
Thanks for help.

Court Report
The Administrative Law Judge Toetagata Albert Mailo has granted a request by the government for a continuance in the case of three Port Administration employees who are disputing their termination after they failed a mandatory drug test required of Port Administration Employees. The three men, who received termination letters on July, 2011 were Ierenimo Graf, Tu'ufuli Tu'ufuli, and James Memea.
Speaking with Samoa News, Assistant Attorney General Jay Sayles said, "Port Administration is labeled by the Coast Guard and Homeland Security as a sensitive area and everyone who works at the Port must undergo the drug test which is regulated federally. And the employees took the drug test and failed".
Sayles requested a continuance so motions can be filed to clear up an evidentiary issue. She explained that the other party is questioning the admissibility of the drug test taken by the three employees.
Sayles said the three men were initially placed on leave, however they are back to work but they cannot continue on working in the positions they held before. Graf has been employed with the Port for 19 years while Mamea and Tu'ufuli have been working not more than ten years. She added the three are working at a non-sensitive area at the Port, namely with maintenance crew.
Toetagata rescheduled the hearing, which is set for three days starting April 3, 2012. Sayles said the government is looking at calling several witnesses to the stand, including Director of Human Resources Evelyn Vaitaotolu Langford, Port Administration Director Matagi Ray McMoore, Deputy Director of Port Chris King and supervisors of the three men involved.
A 58 year old bus driver lost a tooth and sustained a severe cut on his face after he was allegedly assaulted by two men who appeared before the District Court yesterday morning. Leo Fa'afua and Kaloloa Jr. Semaia are both charged with third degree assault, and Public Peace Disturbance. Fa'afua has an addition charge of property damage against him.
However Assistant Attorney General Camille Phillippe says the government is awaiting the police report to determine whether they will be filing additional charges.
According to the police affidavit, the incident occurred in the early hours Wednesday morning, when Fa'afua was standing near the main road and the victim's bus pulled over next to him. It's alleged Fa'afua asked the bus driver if his bus was heading to Aua, and the driver said no.
Police said, Fa'afua then allegedly swore at the bus driver. While the bus sped off it's alleged the driver also yelled profanity back at Fa'afua. Later in the evening, according to police, Fa'afua and Kalolo went to the main road and waited for the bus. The police affidavit says that when the pair waved down the bus, Fa'afua went into the bus and punched the bus driver on his face, while Kalolo went next to the window and allegedly strangled the bus driver.
It's alleged Kalolo threw a rock which cracked the windshield of the bus that is now parked at the Central Police station.
Police said the driver managed to get away from the culprits and went straight to the police station for assistance. The bus driver suffered two lacerations on his mouth, which required eight stitches, and he also lost a tooth as a result of the attack.
The High Court has accepted a plea agreement between the government and Lilomaiava Sa'olotoga, who is accused of assault. The defendant is accused of hitting another man with a beer bottle in Nu'uuli, back in February 2011.
Sa'olotoga was initially facing charges of first degree assault and public peace disturbance, and yesterday he pled guilty to the amended charge of third degree assault while the government moved to dismiss the PPD charge.
Chief Justice Michael Kruse accepted the plea deal and scheduled sentencing for the defendant on February 11, 2012.
Court affidavit says the now closed Rubbles Tavern in Nu'uuli is where the defendant allegedly assaulted another man. The assault occurred after the defendant found out the victim had allegedly taken some of the beer that was on the defendant's table.

GATLINBURG, Tenn. (AP) — Road crews are working to get snow-covered roads in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park open as the spring tourism season is set to begin.
Park spokeswoman Dana Soehn says the higher elevations of the Smokies have received more than 18 inches of snow this week.
On Wednesday, U.S. 441 was closed between the Sugarlands Visitor Center and Newfound Gap on the Tennessee-North Carolina state line. The Clingmans Dome Road was scheduled to open Friday, but isn't likely to be passable before early next week.
The park is the nation's most visited national park.

About Wendell Castle
Wendell Castle is known as the father of art furniture. The artist and designer was a pioneer of a new type of handcrafted and sculptural form, one that blurred the line between art and craft when it emerged in the 1960s. Working in wood, including the technique he developed using stacked laminated wood, or in hand-carved Fiberglass, he creates bold and graceful expressions of pure form, voluminous shapes that reference the body. Along with his work as a sculptor, Castle was an educator, beginning at the School for American Craftsmen at the Rochester Institute of Technology in the early '60s. In 2007 he received a Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Design from the Brooklyn Museum of Art.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The House of Representatives ethics committee said on Monday it would investigate U.S. Representative Henry "Trey" Radel, who pleaded guilty last month to a charge of cocaine possession.
The committee said it established a subcommittee to investigate whether Radel violated congressional rules or broke any other laws related to his responsibilities as a member of Congress.
The 37-year-old Florida Republican said he would take a leave of absence and donate his salary to charity after pleading guilty in Superior Court in Washington to the cocaine possession charge.
Radel, who was elected to the House last year, was sentenced to one year's probation for buying 3.5 grams of cocaine on October 29 in the presence of an undercover agent.
Republican party officials in Florida have called on Radel to resign.
The launch of the formal probe could ultimately result in a formal reprimand by the full House.

If you're anything like me you've overdosed on pumpkin desserts the last few months and are more than ready to move on. But maybe, just maybe, the pumpkin staring at you every time you open up your cupboard won't let you. If that's the case than this savory pumpkin pasta will speak to you in a different way. Pumpkin puree combines with tangy sour cream, thyme, sauteed onions and garlic to make a vibrant and creamy sauce. For a finishing touch crisp, salty bacon is crumbled over top, a delicious counterpoint to the semi-sweet pumpkin.
I ♥ thyme. I have been using it in everything from meats to vegetables to bean dishes: in stuffings, pastas and soups. It is one of the most versatile herbs I know of with an incredible depth of flavor that doesn't jump right out at you but enriches already existing flavors. When I'm unsure of what herb to use thyme is the one I turn to. As a result I find myself reaching for it often; it has yet to let me down.
1. Cook the bacon in large skillet until brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside. Allow grease to cool and drain. Saute onion in a tablespoon or two of olive oil until tender and translucent. Add thyme and season well with salt and pepper. Add garlic; saute until fragrant.
2. Meanwhile cook penne in plenty of boiling, salted water according to package directions. Drain and set aside 3/4 cup of the pasta water.
3. Add pumpkin and sour cream to onion, mix well and cook until warmed through. Add pasta and toss, adding pasta water as needed to make a sauce. Remove from heat. Crumble bacon over top. Serve with Parmesan and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
The winner of the Novica Giveaway is Rose of What I Made Today! Congratulations and enjoy!

National Volunteer Week is here and it's time to celebrate the incredible impact corporate volunteers make all year long. National Volunteer Week is sponsored by Points of Light Institute & Hands On Network and is about "inspiring, recognizing and encouraging people to seek out imaginative ways to engage in their communities". Corporate volunteer programs provide a rich opportunity to help employees connect to the causes they care about and put your company's CSR brand into practice.
Read the National Volunteer Week Resource Guide from Hands On Network for more information.
USA TODAY provides a rundown of resources, national programs and local events taking place this week and month.
Highlights include:
- Starbucksis hosting service activities across the country in April as part of its Global Month of Service dedicated to engaging its employees and customers in meaningful service opportunities.
- Microsoft US Partners in Learning is teaming up with Youth Service America and the Corporation for National & Community Service, to announce the Global Youth Service Day InterroBang missions.
- Operation Gratitude is teaming up with McKesson during National Volunteer Week to show their support for the Armed Forces.
- L'Oreal Paris, in partnership with Points of Light Institute, will kick off the sixth annual call for nominations for Women of Worth on April 11.
Do you have an innovative approach to corporate volunteerism? We'd love to see shared stories about what works, what doesn't work and how your companies are forging meaningful relationships with nonprofit partners that drive tangible impact in the communities in which you work and live.

Hmmm, good thread, shows what Rap and Hip-Hop are all about. To me, Rap and Hip-Hop are 2 totally different genre's. Rap is more of a "Hardcore/Gangsta" style, while Hip-Hop is a "Softcore/Pop" style of music. I'll just lay down some people of both genre's.
Rap -
50 Cent
Krayzie Bone
Lil Wayne
Wu-Tang Clan
(For starters)
Hip-Hop -
Kanye West
Jim Jones
There's about 3 other people I see as both. Diddy (P Diddy, Sean Combs, whatever), Dr. Dre, and T.I.

I had to lol @ Krayzie Bone being labeled rap while Jim Jones was hiphop, both words are pretty much interchangeable these days anyway... anyway the year ended quite well with Lupe's new album and Joe Buddens Mood Musik 3 Mixtape. Also Lil Wayne has all the potential in the world, pity it's wasted most of the time. He's a beast on a lot of mix tape tracks and I know he surprised a lot of people when he outdid Outkast on that Hollywood track. Too bad his features on the Kanye and Jay-Z albums sucked ass, hopefully his next Carter album is good, I feel he misses Mannie Fresh on the boards (Takeover tracks on Mannie's album were nice)... Mannie Fresh is so underrated because of his Cash Money affiliation.

Joe Budden...gets no respect from me XD Lil' Wayne's lyrical flow is vicious...Tha Carter III has no choice but to be good cause Tha Carter II was monster. Jay-Z's 90's days were great too...Reasonable Doubt can't be beat....but back to Wayne...Honestly, he makes more sense when he's high (seeing as how most to all of his songs are done while he is) haha...Georgia Bush's hidden track on Dedication II was vicious too. Also on that topic, Cassidy is a lyrical beast too, he could slaughter Wayne...He put Freeway in the dust..(not that he was that nice anyways but still)
Oh yeah. If any of you have ever heard a complete Dipset album; Have you ever noticed that as long as they say the Byrdgang call (actually a sector of a gang) at the end of the verse, people think it's good. Sad but true...JR Writer and Hell Rell are nice though...Cam'Ron is just funny...His diss tracks are priceless.

Seen a couple of posts about Lupe Fiasco. He is an excellent artist. I remember hearing him Kanye's Late Registration album, then I saw him in concert a couple of times. The first time I saw him live he was the opening act for the Roots (a great hip-hop band). He performed "Kick, Push" and "He Say, She say" from Food and Liquor and sounded great. I ended up buying his new albums, now I'm hooked.
BTW, Does anyone else think that Soulja Boy's songs are just weak? There's almost no rhyming at all. I don't really understand how he got so popular.

The first Dipset album and the mixtapes before it had some great beats from the Heatmakers, too bad they run that style into the ground as well as falling in love with rhyming the same word with a different meaning. Down & Out was a tight track off Cam'Rons last album, mainly thanks to the beat from Kanye.
I really want a proper version of What's Really Good ft DMX, the mixtape version had that beat from Eddie Murhpy's Coming To America when his dad is driving around at the end of the movie which was just an awesome sample, pity it couldn't be cleared.

I have all 3 Kanye albums...strait crack.
And Soulja Boy? Beat and hook, thats all it is. Crank That Soulja Boy's song is beat and one catchy hook, and it's addictive to some.
Like me, if the song has a good beat i'll let it rock for a while till the rhymes start to make no sense and piss me off...And the ?uestlove? F-in drumset beat monstah.
@Westlo: If you mean Diplomatic Immunity Vol.1, then yeah, that was pretty good, but I remember when Purple Haze was suppost to come out...that thing got pushed back so many times, and the songs kept getting released, it just lost all of the potency when it came out...i'm not really a Dipset fan though, Jim Jones couldn't rap for a dime, Hell Rell (Though as nice as he is) is probably never gonna get his album put out, Only ones really good there are Juelz and Cam...just cause those two actually make money. Jimmy's sales went so damn far down the tubes....Freakin' Sesame Street CDs coulda went platinum faster than Hustler's P.O.M.E...all the beats are so repetitive...ahh I could rant on about it but I won't...

Soulja Boy is just Kriss Kross for a new generation, that's your answer.
I don't listen to much rap most of the time, only when I want to shuffle things up, but I'm kinda itching for something new and huge to drop... Last I heard was the new Ghostface and Wu Tang cds and they were only okay. Maybe I should check out the new Lupe Fiasco, I liked Food & Liquor all right but it seemed a little too Kanye-ish if you know what I mean. All that fancy symphonic production was like giving me cavities.

Unfortunately, I don't like rap and hiphop much, and here are my reasons:
1. When I listen to music, I look for an appealing/beautiful melody, harmony, or something to that degree, most rap songs don't offer this, since they consist mostly of speech.
2. I just don't like lyrics much in general from any genre of music, since more often than not, the lead singer is too overbearing, and it's difficult to hear anything in the background, unlike a good symphony.
3. Alot of the things that rap songs promote are questionable (killing cops, rape, drugs, etc.), and even more use profanity.

1. Appealing and beatuiful melodies are quite personal words, as I may think ymo`s 1000 knives is a beautiful with a stupendous melody and a catchy beat. You might think its utter garbage. Uhm... I would say most rap songs I used to listen to (don`t listen to rap anymore) were melodic and had interesting harmonies. Now because most rap beat are short and repetitive (but still in a aba form, while some even have more complex forms, but using aba as it is most common), I think that solme people forget to listen to the harmonies and such. Now I was never one for popular music, so that may have been the reason I heard much more melodic rap songs. If you want to hear melody and harmony, try anything by pharrell, timbo, dr.dre, snoop, devin the dude, nas, beats by the pound, or bone-thugs and harmony (strongly suggest east 1999, so classic). I think the main problem is people pay too much atrtention to the words... there have been some really good rap songs (musically).
2. Can`t say anything here, words and puns are the meat of rap. But are you saying that you don`t listen to any music with lyrics? Like you don`t listen to rock, enka, choral, country, house, nothing, just instrumental music? Do you listen to funk? Or are you saying that you don`t like rap because it has words?
3.Ah profanity, the words of the gods, lol. Well since I`m from the hip-hop culture, I do not mind profanity. I use it very frequently. They are verbal exclaimation (spelling?)marks. Yea if you don`t like cussing rap is not for you, lol. The questionable material they promote... Uhm I have never heard about a rap song talking about rape... never closest thing was telling a girl she had to have sex with everyone, if she wish to have sex with the superstar. But thats not rape, she had a choice... low self esteem does it every time. I have not heard a song about killing cops since like the early 90`s, but maybe its more frequent than I think. Drugs is a whole other thread OTZ but why is it so bad? So many americans use drugs, so shouldn`t those people be entitled to hear music about one of their past times? Now is your problem with lyrics about selling drugs or consuming drugs?

I'm not really too into hip-hop.
However, there are a few albums I've enjoyed (admittedly those with more pop leanings. I also like live instrumentation on hip-hop songs).
Lupe Fiasco's Food and Liquor and The Cool.
Gym Class Heroes' Cruel as School Children
And a couple songs by The Roots.

Hiphop is the culture, the style isn't it?
Rap refers to the music of that culture since it means Rhythmic African Poetry....
Not saying you're wrong and I'm right or anything but.. I think your assumption might be a little off

Personally a fan of some of Kanye's works as well as Common.
I'm not sure if this is limited to just American groups but... so far, at least what I've heard, Epik High's Tablo has one song out there called "Lesson One" which I find to be really addicting. Whether or not you agree with what his lyrics are about, is up to you. Oh, keep in mind that Epik High IS a Korean hip-hop group and so, they mostly rap in Korean. However, "Lesson One" IS in English with two versions out; the regular version and the remix version.

for people into intelligent rap/hip-hop i was surprised not to see a mention of DJ format.
if you want something intelligent to listen to, that is seriously for you.
just lyrics from one song :
DJ Format - Ill Culinary Behaviour Lyrics
[ VERSE 1: Abdominal ]
Well Hello And Welcome
If You Could Wipe Your Feet On The Doormat
Please, Come In - Oh Format...
We Got Company, Where's My Manners, Let Me Take Your Coats
I Hope You're Hungry For Some Flavorful Quotes
Which I Whipped Up Myself, I'm Really Hopin That You Like It
I Call It The Abdominal Special, I Eat A Hype Dish
Format? I Think He's Still In The Kitchen
Slavin Over Platters, You Know, Cooking Rhythms
Come Again? Oh, He Said That The Beats Are Finished
I Guess All That's Left To Do Is Just Remix It
You Say You Wanna Help, Okay, How About You Set The Table
And What's This, A Beautiful Patch Cable, For Me?
Really, You Shouldn't Have
Please Excuse Me, I'ma Just Go And Grab
A Spare Apron To Keep Your Gear Fresh
Format, Where's The Food, It's Rude, We Have Guests
[ CHORUS: Abdominal ]
Dinner's Served, So Yo, Come And Get It
Abdominal And Format Cookin Up The Splendid
Concoctions, Explosions Of Flavor
Check The Ill Culinary Behaviour
You Need Seconds? Yo, Come And Get It
Abdominal And Format Whippin Up The Splendid
Delicacies, Explosions Of Flavor
Check The Ill Culinary Behaviour
[ VERSE 2: Abdominal ]
Okay, You're Right Here, And If You Could Sit There
Format Needs The Chair Closest To The Kitchen
In Case He Needs To Fix The Snare
Which I'm Sure Will Be Crispy Enough
Ah-Ah-Ah, We're All Hungry, But Before We Tuck
In And Stuff Our Faces, We Really Must Say Graces
My Turn, So Here Goes, Lord, Thank You For Bangin Beats We Lace
And Of Course The Microphones That We Rap Into
Amen, That's Through, So Let's Eat, Pass The Loops, Bro
Soup? No, I Said Loops, So
Delicious With The Fishes, Nutritious
Servin Roasted Rapper, That's The First Dish On My Wish List
Just Gobble It Up, Then Proceed To Lick The Plate Clean
Taste The Cuisine Whipped Up By The Great Team
Of Culinary Experts, Ab And A Digit
Between 3 And 5 Followed By A Non-Shiny Finish
For-Mat For The Punchline-Inept
Keep Eating Cause There's Tons Of Food Left
Really, You Just Have To Taste Some Home-Cooked
[ VERSE 3: Abdominal ]
I Got The Feeling That Everybody Is Ready For Dessert To Be Served
But Before I Bring It Out I Got Somethin To Say First
Abdominal Junior, You Will Get Nothing, Young Man
Until You Finish Those Breaks On Your Plate
Cause All Across The Land There Be Starvin MC's
Who'd Be Happy To Rock To Beats Like These
You Should Be A Little Bit More Considerate
And Think Of This Before Pushing Your Dish Away Without Finishing It
And While I'm At It, Get Your Elbows Off The Damn Console
Really, Where's Your Manners?
I'm Ashamed To Have To Scold You Right In Front Of Our Guests
But You Leave Me No Choice
I'm Truly Sorry That I Had To Raise My Voice
But My Son's Behaviour Simply Inexcusable
And If I Don't See Some Improvement Soon, My Fuse'll Blow
Is That Clear, Mister? Good, I'm Glad We Understand One Another
Now Go Help Your Brother Little Format
Clear The Table, Put The Leftovers In Some Tupperware
So Tomorrow We'll Have Supper Prepared
Oh What's That, You Say You Must Be Leaving?
Such A Pity, What A Lovely Evening
Well, Thanks For Coming, We Must Do It Again Sometime
I Hope You Ate Enough - Of Our Beats And Rhymes
myself i like :
andre 3000/outkast
damian jr gong marley
dj shadow,
massive attack (if you can put them here!),
de la soul,
run dmc,
dizzee rascal,
handsome boy modelling school,
dan the automater,
but seriously, if you havent heard it, dj format- music for the mature b-boy = WIN
and listen to the avalanches as well, even though they dont fit in, you can hear the influences. the new album due this year is supposedly hip hop as well.
for myself i admit that hiphop and rap arent one of my favorite types of music, but there are exceptions to the rule.

In my opinion, hip-hop refers to the style in which the music is more upbeat and quicker, what is usually played at parties and whatnot, while rap refers to a more mellow beat, and is less so "party music".
Most of the newer stuff is more "hip-hop"ish, while a good deal of the older style is "rap".
Of course, this is all my view, and it probably differs from yours.
As for my opinion, I generally don't listen to rap unless I'm out partying, which is progressively becoming rarer and rarer. I don't hate it, nor do I like it, though there are usually some exceptions.
The occasional song is catchy and I'll listen to it for a short bit, though not very often do I pick up a random rap song.
I find that eminem is one of the few rap artists who has released several songs I enjoyed, generally because they didn't follow the newer "ho's and money" thing, and are often quite catchy as well.

What people are saying about our walk in lab services
Absolutely so thrilled to know this online lab ordering service is available. My doctor's office staff refused to ask my doctor to order a cholesterol test saying I had to come in for an office visit. I wanted the lab work done first so that I could discuss it with her when I go in. I found you by calling my local Quest Diagnostics to see if I could just walk in and have a cholesterol test done...they referred me online. The way your website works is great, the follow-up emails were nice, and all was very timely. No complaints, no problems, easy to use. Thanks so much. Really appreciate this. I'll do it again soon.
I had never heard of this service until I needed a HepB titer at the last minute; on a Friday. I couldn't get into my Dr. until the following Tuesday and I needed my results by Wednesday. This service is amazing. There was a location within 15 minutes of my house with great hours (I didn't have to leave work early) and the results were processed over the weekend so I met the deadline with time to spare. I wish I remembered the name of the young lady who drew my blood. She was very pleasant and we held an easy conversation while she took the sample like a pro! I couldn't be happier!
Very impressed with the turn around time for taking test and receiving results. This is much less hassle than going through my primary care professional. Thank you!
I had to get a TB test done in a hurry for school. You saved me the hassle of trying to get in to see my doctor and incurring the extra expense.
It is simple to get the test done, I am very happy with having an independent lab to do the work. I am Canadian and our free health care is not by any means hassle free!!
Still have questions?

Bill Whittle is a talented teacher. That's not how he holds himself out, but he has an obvious gift for exposition. In the video below, from David Horowitz's Restoration Weekend in Palm Beach earlier this month, Whittle offers political advice whose shrewdness I doubt, but not the underlying teaching.
Whittle urges Republicans and conservatives to stand up for what we believe in while expressing doubt that Republican politicians "believe our own philosophy. The GOP leadership…are victims of Stockholm syndrome." I think the bigger problem by far is our occasional inability to explain persuasively why we believe what we believe. It's not a deficiency that hobbles Whittle, as one can see in this entertaining video.

From simply being an extension of kitchen counters, kitchen islands have taken on a number of innovative and creative designs. No longer just an old block of wood sitting in the middle of the kitchen, the island has turned into a statement piece as well. If you have one installed but are looking to update its style, then you've come to the right place. Tree Classics presents you a slideshow of seven amazing designs for your culinary workstation.
1. The Old Cottage Look
Modern kitchens often do away with the island. But if you feel you want to infuse this contemporary space with a bit of vintage charm, then an antique table placed in the middle of your kitchen instantly gives it that old cottage look. Plus, you don't have to worry about the costs of having one built! This substitute for the permanent kitchen island is easy to incorporate: you no longer need to install it.
2. Creative Storage Spaces
One of the primary advantages of having a kitchen island is being able to maximize every nook and cranny as extra storage space. Most homeowners choose to have cabinets, drawers, and shelves added to a kitchen island for easy access.
3. A Statement of Style
Aside from its functionality, a kitchen island can also become an ideal showpiece. Surprise your friends and family with a repurposed item that shows off your creativity. An old sewing machine table, for instance, works as a sturdy island while exhibiting unique metal detailing.
4. Extra Seating
Some kitchen islands also serve as breakfast nooks. Adding a few stools helps maximize limited room, especially if you live in a small apartment. This also lets you interact with family or guests while you prepare meals.
5. Sleek and Sturdy
For a lustrous appeal that lasts, install a stainless steel kitchen island. The metallic finish exhibits a smooth and sophisticated profile. The durability of steel also means you won't have to worry about wear and tear over the years.
6. Countryside Charm
If you're not a fan of industrial home designs, opt for a wooden workstation instead. The natural texture and aroma of teak and cedar bring the wonders of the countryside into your kitchen.
7. Going Places
An island on caster wheels allows for easy mobility even within a very small kitchen. This space-saver is not only efficient, but it also creates a look of minimalist chic.
Create a one-of-a-kind look for your kitchen by upgrading your culinary workstation with these creative ideas.

When you go to see "Grudge Match," which opened on Christmas, it will be understood if you think North Bergen native Joey "Coco" Diaz is a lazy, lay-about sort of guy. However, while Diaz's character is a tabloid-reading, low-aspirations boxing coach, Diaz himself works non-stop.
The comedian/actor's movie with Robert DeNiro and Sylvester Stallone was slated to come out on Christmas Day. He gets up at 4 a.m. everyday to do a comedy podcast, he has a comedy album coming out around New Year's, and he tours comedy clubs on the weekend. If that isn't busy enough, he's got a newborn at home keeping him on his toes at all times.
Diaz lost his parents when he was 15 and was raised by various families in North Bergen, people who he talks to on the phone every day, even now. He talks about the people of North Bergen, specifically those who took care of him, very lovingly, thirty years after he left the town.
"Anything I can get, whether it's one line or a scene in a movie, I'm excited to move people." – Joey 'Coco' Diaz
Comedy nights in prison
Diaz took an unconventional route to sitting across from a Robert DeNiro in a feature film, an experience he describes as inconceivable to him ten years ago. On Thursdays in prison there was a movie night, and when the projector broke, Joey started goofing off and making fun, and it wasn't long until Thursday night was comedy night with Joey "Coco" Diaz.
After he got out, he packed his bags and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in comedy.
"What would make someone do that?" Diaz asks himself, before answering. "It must have been something instilled in me growing up in North Bergen, something in my upbringing that gave me this never-give-up attitude."
But his comedy chops began long before prison. He says that his roots in comedy began to grow in his hometown. "I learned how to do comedy in the back of the No. 1 bus from North Bergen to Jersey City," said Diaz. He cites many of the families and friends from North Bergen as influences on his sense of humor.
There's more to Diaz's career than Stallone/DeNiro movies and stand-up comedy. Guest spots on many sitcoms like "My Name is Earl," "How I Met Your Mother," and most recently "Brooklyn 99," and an upcoming episode of "Maron," are on his resume. This is all in addition to his biggest break before "Grudge Match," the 2005 Adam Sandler remake of the 1974 film, "The Longest Yard," where he played Big Tony.
Just a character
Despite the many differences between Diaz's boxing coach character's work ethic and Diaz's own personal life, the biggest remains yet unsaid: the fictional character doesn't care, Joey "Coco" Diaz does, and that, he says, is the biggest influence that North Bergen had on his career.
"Anything I can get, whether it's one line or a scene in a movie, I'm excited to move people because I always thought I was going to do a little bit of standup, and that was it," Diaz remarks, "but every time I think about growing up in North Bergen something just takes over. It's got to be what was instilled in those neighborhoods."
"Grudge Match" opens in the US and Canada on Dec. 25 and features Robert DeNiro, Sylvester Stallone, Kevin Hart, Alan Arkin, and Joey "Coco" Diaz. Diaz has dedicated his performance to Jimmy Burkle.

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary's Socialist Party leader was chosen Saturday as the opposition alliance candidate in upcoming elections and he accused the government of having "wrecked the rule of law" and of sidelining democratic principles.
Attila Mesterhazy was endorsed by 99.7 percent of party delegates to lead the alliance of five left-wing parties, which also includes two parties formed by former Socialist prime ministers Ferenc Gyurcsany and Gordon Bajnai.
Mesterhazy, who turns 40 on Thursday, has led the Socialist Party since July 2010 and will be Prime Minister Viktor Orban's first challenger who is younger than him. Orban, 50, is hoping to win a third four-year term in the April 6 elections.
Fidesz has "wrecked the rule of law ... and reversed the system of checks and balances," Mesterhazy said. "In a normal democracy, checks and balances defend the people from the excesses of power. In Hungary, Orban's new system defends those in power from the people."
Among the Orban policies criticized by Mesterhazy were a new deal with Russia to build new reactors at Hungary's only nuclear power plant, state contracts which have favored many of the prime minister's friends and the political control of state media.
Elections will include only one round of voting instead of two, will cut the number of legislators nearly in half — from 386 to 199 — and significantly restrict campaign ads.
A poll taken in early January by the Ipsos Institute found support among all voters at 28 percent for Fidesz and 22 percent for the parties in the left-wing alliance. The far-right Jobbik was at 6 percent.
A government decree signed last week by Orban set unprecedented limits on where political billboards and posters can be placed, a move rights advocates said aggravated already worrisome restrictions on the campaigns.
"Democracy is seriously damaged if parliamentary elections are held on the basis of rules which unconstitutionally silence campaigns and create conditions which are evidently advantageous for the government parties," said a joint statement from the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, the Karoly Eotvos Institute and the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union.
Government propaganda, which has been flooding citizens' mailboxes and the media, won't be constrained by the new rules, the three institutions said.
Fidesz won a two-thirds majority in 2010 with 52.7 percent of the votes for party lists. In the new electoral system, such dominance could be achieved with as little as 40 percent of the votes.
Its supermajority in the legislature has allowed Fidesz to adopt a new constitution, increase executive power, override numerous rulings of the Constitutional Court, nationalize the assets of the private pension funds. and centralize the education system and public media.
Orban says the drastic changes were needed to wipe away the remnants of the communist system, which ended in 1990, and to rescue Hungary from the brink of economic disaster after the 2002-2010 mismanagement by the Socialist Party governments.
Last year, the government modified the new constitution for the fifth time, in part to allay criticism from the European Union. However, the essence of many of the disputed policies, including a ban on paid political campaign advertisements on commercial TV and radio and a church law that limits the rights of many religious groups, remained unchanged.
The left-wing alliance expanded 10 days ago after Mesterhazy and Bajnai agreed to add Gyurcsany and his Democratic Coalition, as well as a smaller liberal party, to their electoral coalition.
Gyurcsany resigned as prime minister in 2009 and was replaced by Bajnai a few months after Hungary became the first country in the European Union to get an international bailout when it was pushed to the edge of insolvency. He is also blamed for police brutality against both violent protesters and a separate, peaceful rally by Fidesz supporters on the 50th anniversary of the 1956 anti-Soviet revolution.
Gyurcsany remains a polarizing figure and it was only after months of haggling and political maneuvering that he was able to join the alliance. Without a runoff vote, the parties have to form coalitions ahead of the elections.

Over the course of four hours punctuated by chanting, multiple altercations, police expulsions, and an extended recess to restore order, the board voted 5-2 to end Carmelo's leadership and install its consultant Richard Fox as acting director.
If the firing holds up, it will mark the culmination of a long conflict between Housing Authority's paid director Garcia, who supported by the old Hudson County Democratic machine and many of his tenants, and most of the seven unpaid commissioners on the board, most of whom are allied with Mayor Dawn Zimmer.
Various facets of the termination process and the meeting itself were challenged by attendees, including City Council members, who claimed they were illegal under New Jersey state law, federal law, and the Constitution. Garcia and his lawyer Louis Zayas, who was not present at the meeting, have vowed to challenge his termination in court.
A representative from HUD said last week that Garcia would have to have 120 days' notice to be fired. According to the resolution, Garcia's contract provides that his employment may be terminated for reasons other than for cause "with not less than 120 days notice." As such, the resolution instructs the Housing Authority CFO Emil Kotherithara to cut Garcia a check for four months of salary for his next scheduled pay day ($55,000 at his current pay grade). Garcia said he will continue to serve until he has received this payment.
At least 250 residents of the housing projects marched up Third Street from 221 Jackson St. to City Hall, carrying signs and shouting slogans such as "we can, we will, watch us," and "this is our home." Upon arriving at City Hall, the residents, along with a smattering of Housing Authority officials, press, and other attendees, easily filled the council chambers to capacity, leaving scores of disappointed public housing residents outside in the foyer of City Hall.
Before the resolution to terminate Garcia was even presented, his supporters began interrupting nearly every statement Wefer made, chanting "Let them in" and "It's not fair."
Hoboken Police Chief Edelmiro Garcia warned that the meeting would have to be closed due to public safety. Subsequently, a man in a white polo shirt was ejected by police after he allegedly taunted, then put his cellphone in the face of, Garcia's wife. Garcia later identified the man, who is a Zimmer supporter.
After this incident, the meeting went into recess and the council chambers were evacuated.
Ninety minutes after its scheduled start, the meeting began again and was completed. However, other attendees were subsequently ejected. To read more details, see this weekend's Hoboken Reporter, or come back to hudsonreporter.com starting Sunday.

There is relationship between Saotome and Ikaruga which a bit resembles to Aoi and Oga's current relationship. Ikaruga actually loves Saotome but Saotome too dimwit and hard head to actually reciprocate her love. And to my suprise it was really nice to see those two still seeing each other and even hang out together for Christmas even though it's payback for Oga's training. I hope Aoi and Oga don't end up like those two in the future :3 But then I would feel sorry for Hilda since I am more like sadistic/normal Hilda fan. But I like her moe form too. Anyways that was really nice chapter and now I'd like to also see Toujou in action. Their fight sure going to be hilarious.

Aoi wins as usual, and Shizuka even gets Izuma back by her loaded question. XD And of course, why ELSE would Oga join a Competition for Couples other than to win a present for the kid he's taking care of? And NATURALLY he assumes that since Kunieda also takes care of one sometimes, that she's in it for the same reason. It has NOTHING to do with romance - NOTHING.
Oga: Ro-man-su? What's that? Sounds like the thing that gets girls all scary and demon-like...
Aoi: ... you're not one to talk, Oga...
Hilda: Ufufu. I'm the only one who can get Oga to do something he doesn't like.
Oga: ... that's a lie ... My Mom, my sister, my Dad...all of them *gets hit* OWW!

Hahaha Shizuka's acting was great but I actually liked Izuma's parts this chapter the most.
Him teasing Aoi(anyone teasing Aoi gets a thumbs up in my book)was great and then Shizuka asking that question and him answering honestly
But nothing beats a flustered and embarrassed Aoi, god she's sooooo moe!

That being said, Shizuka was most certainly great in this chapter as well. She should become an actress.

But seems to me Shizuka is abit miffed that Aoi made that declaration towards Hilda, altho if she really knew what was going on between the two, she wouldn't want to step into that ring but then no one would

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Authorities say dozens of hikers have been rescued after being stranded by high water from heavy rains in an Arizona canyon.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department says 40 to 50 adults and children were stranded Saturday throughout a Tucson-area canyon when waters rushed down mountainsides.
Deputy Tom Peine tells Tucson area media that the rescue effort involved teams on the ground and in a helicopter.
He says that the first group of hikers was led out of Bear Canyon in the Catalina Mountains just after 5 p.m. , and the last group about three hours later.
With some hikers, rescuers used a technique that involved roping together hikers and flotation devices to help get them through high water. Some of the hikers were flown out by helicopter.
Peine says the hikers might not have realized that rains could cause canyon flooding long after the down pour ends.

State Sen. George Maziarz, R-C-Newfane, has announced that he was awarded the highest percentage for a New York state senator in conservative ratings for the 2012 legislative session by the Conservative Party of New York State. Maziarz received a 90, the highest among his colleagues throughout the state, (tying with Senator Ball from the 40th Senate District).
"I have long been a supporter of Conservative Party ideals in the New York State Senate and this year was no different," Maziarz said. "Representing a large number of conservative voters in the 62nd District is something that I am proud of and I will continue to advocate for them and for all of my constituents in Niagara, Orleans and Monroe counties in Albany so that upstate interests continue to be protected."
The legislative rating is based upon how the legislators throughout the state vote on 19 key bills acted upon in the current year and the tax increase from last year. This year, the overall State Senate rating is 72.54 percent, putting Maziarz way above his contemporaries.
"Consistently Senator Maziarz has obtained high ratings from the Conservative Party of New York State," said Niagara County Conservative Party Chairman Daniel Weiss. "It is important that the voice of Conservative constituents are being heard in Albany throughout the legislative process, and Senator Maziarz's high ratings are proof that it is happening."
"Senator Maziarz has stood up for conservatives in his district throughout all of his years in Albany," said Orleans County Conservative Party Chairman Allan Lofthouse. "It is clear that Orleans County Conservatives have a friend in the Senate with Senator Maziarz, and I am hopeful that we will continue our relationship for many years to come."

Boiler Repairs and Other Contractor Work
Any person that has ever owned a home knows about the importance of finding quality contractors to get work done. The importance is even more extreme when building or renovating a home, as there is a lot of work to be done and only a select set of skilled laborers can get it done right. Many people can claim to know about a topic or field, but truly mastering it is often a very different story. At the end of the day, everything from air conditioning repair to boiler repair in Bergen County NJ can be a crucial service to ensure the comfort and convenience of your household.
The truth of the matter is that given enough time, most people could probably figure out how to fix something like a boiler. However, the key to that is that not everyone has the time and it is extremely inefficient to get things done in this fashion. Even if a household is struggling financially, it is possible to find a contractor with reasonable prices that can still get the job done well. Compared to trying to figure things out and possibly making the situation worse, the qualified contractor is obviously a wise investment to make.
Of course this does not mean that anyone should hire the first contractor they see, as shopping around for options and different opinions is always wise. Some contractors are more trustworthy and reliable than others, so sorting them out and trying to find the right fit is important. Some jobs are more important or time sensitive than others too, so finding a contractor with the necessary availability is also a big deal. Just because someone is the best at getting jobs done does not necessarily mean a customer can wait for months until they are able to hire them, sometimes it is necessary to get work done right away.

Skip to comments.Breaking (NM): Gun show background check bill falls short on Senate floor
Posted on 03/16/2013 11:20:24 AM PDT by CedarDave
The New Mexico Legislature will not send legislation aimed at curbing gun violence to Gov. Susana Martinezs desk, after a last-minute effort to approve a bill aimed at closing the states gun show loophole for background checks was thwarted in the Senate.
Repeated attempts to amend the bill by Sen. George Munoz, D-Gallup, led to several Republican senators speaking until the sessions noon adjournment time arrived.
(Excerpt) Read more at abqjournal.com ...
There will be a lot of pissed off legislators as holding up this bill until adjournment meant less controversial and maybe necessary bills died too. It remains to be seen what other damage was done.
> legislation aimed at curbing gun violence
Commie bias, as always.
It is NOT legislation aimed at curbing "gun violence", whatever that's supposed to mean.
It IS legislation aimed at curbing the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, and their property, against criminals and tyrants alike.

Yes, that's what they would like to have us think. The ABQ Journal had an top-of-the-page internet ad yesterday asking readers to call senators to support the bill (HB-77).
Just a bit slanted and trusting of this reporter.
That may be the stated aim, but the real aim is universal registration of gun owners.
Prior to confiscation by law enforcement or Homeland Security at their discretion.
BTW. Congratulations, NM. You're not as far down the "progressive" road to totalitarianism as my state of CO.
I wonder how many gun shows already are providing the opportunity for background checks. My gun club sponsors two gun shows per year & we require that they go through the regular system. We even provide a table for private sales, although if people want to take their guns outside they can do what they want.
Well. Colorado resident can still go to NM to buy and trade their guns legally.
I'll trade ya my Ct for your Co? I'll even throw in Ma. Come on....wadda ya say?
Thank you! I have been preaching this to every American who will listen. When all the dust settles, the bait and switch will happen in the US Senate, and liberal socialist States pushing gun control, in order to look like they are compromising and being reasonable, they will drop their push for an "assault weapons ban" and limits on "magazine" sizes for a National Firearm Registry Data Base. The old propaganda media is out their reporting 80% of Americans support "some kind" of a expanded background check for universal gun purchases!
You hit the nail right on the head! Excellent!
The New World Order doesn't stand a chance of being properly establish as long as Americans have the 2nd Amendment and the UN is pissed we refuse to give up our rights.
Exactly right! The one world order Nationalist Socialist pure hell and damnation on the socialist from the WH who attended the UN Committee on the Arms Treaty because the socialist in the WH had not done anything to confiscate firearms from Americans.
This is the real reason for the sudden push for "gun control" from the socialist in the WH and those socialist who control the individual State governments, e.g. CA, MA, CO, etc.
Americans have even a lower opinion of the UN than this socialist in the WH, combine the two (2) in a broad push to disarm the Americans people and all hell will break out with a backlash that will remove most if not all socialist currently up for reelection in both the US Senate and House of Representatives.
Stay safe!
Thanks for the ping Dave.
Gun owners should send their thanks to the Republicans who filibustered till quitting time to save their Second Amendment rights. Bravo to them!
The system has failed us when the supreme court is allowing these laws to stand and commenting that reasonable laws restricting guns are Ok. According the the thoughts expressed in the federalist papers and the constitution itself, NO law restricting guns in ANY way is appropriate, anything else undermines the intent of the Second Amendment and is therefor illegal. It's scary as hell knowing this could have possibly passed in New Mexico on an up or down vote. It looks like it is only a matter of time before the stars line up politically and we all lose our second amendment rights to this constant onslaught that enjoys media support.
Yippie! Molon Labe! Come and Take It!

He reckons it is inferior to the Adobe product but a must have? I see a contradiction that put any thoughts of spending £70 out of my mind. I don't really see the point of setting accurate colour and then possibly changing the hue, saturation or contrast of a particular colour in LR/ACR . If you are saving for web then it is a pointless exercise?
Any reason this isn't a good idea?
If you go down the road of " accuracy" and produce a good print and then show it to somebody how do they the colours are "accurate" and further more do they care? I am excluding people who have commissioned a photographer to shoot some fashion clothing or similar.
Depends. The advantages of the Passport over the Classic are: i) fits in a coat pocket, ii) when closed, the color patches are protected from a) UV and b) scratches, iii) large grey card on the back, iv) build in stand, so you don't need someone to hold it for you.
If I had neither, I'd go for the Passport instead of the Classic in a second. The Classic is large but fragile. The Passport has those great off-white patches for setting WB. You get a larger white and gray card too. All protected in a case.
The counter argument would be that Adobe & friends surely have more extensive testing labs than most of us, and surely employ better color scientists than myself. They could base their camera profiles on large sets of patches illuminated by controlled sources that are deemed relevant for most scenes. The best I can (will) do is my camera, the passport checker, sunlight/shady/direct flash/flash in my living-room celing/tungsten.
The key thing you need to understand regarding the differences between using the Adobe Standard DNG profile and making your own custom DNG profile is that it's quite possible that YOUR sensor (the one in YOUR camera) is slightly different in it's spectral response from the camera/sensor Adobe used to create Adobe Standard. Therefore the custom DNG profile may be more accurate for YOUR camera...
Bruce Fraser and I tested two cameras (the original Digital Rebel) and found substantial differences between the two lots of cameras...we had different spectral responses and different native ISOs. His camera was about 1/3 stop hotter than mine and our cameras needed slightly different camera calibration settings.
and that was when consumer level (original Rebel) dSLRs were in their infancy... why didn't you repeat the same w/ modern cameras ? now if you can get an individually calibrated spectrophotometer (and not just the one purchased and never actually calibrated to check that it measures properly) and measure two targets what do you find ?but placebo effect exists
Are you telling that modern DSLR sensors are all almost equal and thereafter the well built Adobe Standard profile is the only good choice over custom ones?
Yeah, ya know...it's one guy based in Boston (for the most part) who ends up getting preproduction or early production model cameras and does a series of tests on a small sample of cameras (generally one) and while to tools that guy uses are pretty exotic and accurate, it's only for a single (generally) unit camera. How much a camera will vary lot to lot is a question for the camera makers (good luck getting any data) but if you know anything about statistics and process control you would know that there will be differences from lot to lot of sensorsthat's almost assured of happening.
Is there a good way to present (a condensated) difference between two profiles?

The Saw Painters' Mother Ship
Attention woodworkers in and around the Great Falls, Montana, area: Have you noticed a curious lack of vintage handsaws in your flea markets and antique malls?
Well there's a reason that greater Great Falls is the black hole of vintage saws. The saw painters have made a 22'-high mechanical shrine to the craft using 208 handsaws – it was just dedicated at the Marias Museum in Shelby, Montana.
As much as it pains me as a woodworker to see 208 saws painted and rotating and telling the time, I have to admit, it is an impressive mechanical display.
"Standing 22-feet high, the saw clock is comprised of eight large discs of hand saws that alternate between 4 feet and 6 feet in diameter. Each saw blade — and there are 208 of them in total — has been designed, painted or otherwise decorated to represent a family or business from the Shelby area. Each disc is motorized and designed to independently spin while the entire wheel of discs slowly rotates around the saw clock's center."
You can read the entire store here on the web site of the Great Falls Tribune.
I'm just relieved that I cannot enlarge the photo of the clock, otherwise I would spend a good deal of time looking for a panther saw among the tools.
Thanks to Mark Poulsen for the tip!
