Fashion IQ: How Well Do You Know Your Cult Style Icons?
Meet 20 muses with cult appeal. Have a favorite? Click through and let us know who gets your pulse racing.
All kohl-rimmed cat eyes and wispy bangs, the New Wave siren and Jean-Luc Godard's proto muse enchants generation after generation of film buffs. But cineastes aren't the only ones to fall under Karina's spell. She's also one of the fashion industry's most enduring inspirations, with everyone from Anna Sui to Jason Wu tapping into her singular style. Fun fact: Coco Chanel discovered Karina (a.k.a. Hanne Karin Blarke Bayer) and advised the then teenage model to change her name to something with a bit more je ne sais quoi.
Her famous green eyes sparkling with both cool reserve and fierce intelligence, it's easy to understand why Rampling has often been called the thinking man's sex symbol. And her choice of meaty roles, from The Swimming Pool to the controversial S&M thriller, The Night Porter, certainly gives credence to this claim. Woody Allen once said his ideal dinner companions are Charlotte Rampling and Franz Kafka. Perfect. We'll bring the Chardonnay.

What do George Harrison's "Something in the Way She Moves" and Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" have in common? Both were written about Boyd. The British model met Harrison on the set of A Hard Day's Night and the pair promptly wed. However, it wasn't long before the duo acquired a third wheel in the form of a besotted Clapton who wasn't shy about wooing—and eventually winning—his best mate's wife.
Have mercy! Graceland's Lady of the Manor catered to her husband's over-the-top tastes with a labor-intensive beauty regime that included false eyelashes, a stiff bouffant hairdo, and no shortage of eyeliner. After the couple separated, Presley toned down her makeup to let her considerable natural beauty shine through. Either way, she's a major fashion muse (Christopher Kane cited her as an influence for his F/W 10 collection).

Ready for a mind melt? Reality Bites turns 20 this January. We know, we know. It seems like just yesterday that a Ryder was bewitching us on the big screen with her doe-eyed sex appeal and thrift store togs. We can also credit the Gen X leading lady for pioneering the slacker-chic look —torn boyfriend jeans, moto jackets—better known today as "model off-duty."
Bonet accomplished the impossible when she got notorious ladies man, Lenny Kravitz, to the altar. Of course, with her sensual features and free-spirited bonhomie, it's easy to see why Kravitz put a ring on it. Alas, the union of the rock god and The Cosby Show actress didn't last. But apart or together, the two are still dread sexy (sorry, had to).
Together with partner, Jack Nicholson, Huston presided over 1970's Hollywood with her aristocratic glamour and high fashion pedigree (she spent her late teens modeling for the likes of David Bailey and Bob Richardson). With her prominent nose, alabaster complexion, and lithe physique, her beauty was more compelling than conventional—a fact that makes us worship her that much more.
"It's not that I'm rebelling," explained the Warhol muse of her wild child antics. "It's that I'm just trying to find another way." Sedgewick similarly thought out of the box when it came to her eccentric signature look: heavy false eyelashes, chandelier earrings, and a silver pixie cut which mimicked Warhol's.
The godmother of alt country has collaborated with practically every influential musician in business, from Gram Parsons to Bob Dylan to Neil Young, but it's her standalone talent that earns her a spot on this list. We also give a tip of the hat to her folk western style, which makes embroidered denim look cool.
A 16-year-old Tree's arrival at Truman Capote's famed Black and White Ball sparked a fury of "who's that girl" inquiries and, just like that, a supermodel was born. She decamped to London, rubbed shoulders with famous actors and musicians, and became an emblem of the Swinging Sixties scene. Asked to describe Tree in three words, John Lennon reportedly exclaimed: "Hot, Hot, Hot, Smart, Smart, Smart!"
No fashion education is complete without a course in Grace Jones Fabulousness. The glamazonian singer ruled the disco circuit with her androgynous good looks and fierce fashion. She rocked a flat top a good decade before anyone heard of Kid 'n Play and is still inspiring the industry (the hair at Chanel's Fall 13 Haute Couture show was influenced by said signature 'do). Rumor has it she's now at work on a memoir. Yes, please.
Like a fine (Coppola) wine, the 42 year-old director's fashion sense only gets better with age. These days, the Paris transplant favors an understated luxe look (crisp white shirts, ankle-skimming black trousers) with the occasional burst of insouciant glamour, like the metallic Marc Jacobs pajama set she wore to this year's Met Ball.

The fashion industry's most enduring muse has worn many hats in the course of her career, from heroin-chic poster child to party-girl jetsetter to sophisticated clotheshorse par excellence. Her next move? Celebrating her 40th in—appropriately enough—her birthday suit with a nude spread in the January issue of Playboy. We'd expect nothing less from the catwalk's reigning Queen of Cool.
Long before the sheer Bob Mackie bodysuits and feathered headdresses, Cher kept it simple(er) with a mod vibe that played up her killer cheekbones and swingy curtain of ebony hair that would bring Vidal Sassoon to his knees. The "If I Could Turn Back Time" singer has inspired scores of designers over the years, including Tom Ford who designed an entire Cher-inspired collection for Gucci in the late '90s.
Never has a unibrow looked so chic. The Mexican artist's memorable look (flower-festooned updo, colorful shawls, gold jewelry) and uncompromising persona has inspired decades of feminists and fashionistas (Kenzo, Riccardo Tisci) alike. Most recently, Rebecca Minkoff sent models down the runway of her S/S 14 show in crocheted pencil skirts that took their cues from Kahlo's brand of Latin bohemianism.
The Vassar–educated beauty and Vogue cover girl (discovered by Mr. Nast, yes of Conde Nast fame, himself) eventually made her way to Paris where she became Man Ray's muse and a noted Surrealist artist in her own right. She shot a catalogue of lush images ranging from street scenes to nudes and —in collaboration Ray—rediscovered the photographic technique of solarisation. Those interested in learning more about Miller's extraordinary life should check out Carolyn Burke's seminal biography.

The bombshell daughter of Ol' Blue Eyes inspired a legion of imitators with her signature '60s style: big hair, short skirts, and go-go boots —the latter of which was the subject of her # 1 hit single and the ultimate ode to footwear, "These Boots were Made for Walking."
Perhaps the cultiest of the cult icons, Smith's rangy good looks and borrowed-from-the -(bad) boys fashion can be an acquired taste. But those susceptible to the charms of the original princess of punk fall hard and never quite recover, as Ann Demeulemeester whose long found a muse in Smith, can attest.

The Rookie Editor-in-Chief might be thinking about quitting fashion, but the fashion world clearly isn't ready to quit her. The precocious tween style blogger who captured our hearts with her granny glasses and Rodarte obsession has blossomed into an impressive young lady/promising actress with, no surprises here, a sophisticated sartorial sense.

Did Yoko break up The Beatles? Ono she didn't! Now that the obligatory pun's out of the way, we can say with some certainty that The Fab Four were headed for splitsville without any help from Lennon's lady love. On the other hand, Ono has had a plenty of influence in the fashion sphere with Proenza Schouler name-checking her as an influence for their F/W 12 presentation, Opening Ceremony tapping her to design a collection, and Chanel featuring her in its tome, The Little Black Jacket: Chanel's Classic Revisited.

The struggling San Francisco Giants have reached a deal with veteran outfielder Jeff Francoeur, FOXSports.com reports.
Francoeur, 29, was released by the Kansas City Royals over the weekend.
The nine-year MLB veteran and one-time Gold Glove winner was dreadful for the Royals this season, hitting just .208 and slugging just .322 with three home runs and 13 RBIs. It was Francoeur's third season with the Royals; he had a strong 2011 season (with a .285 average, 20 home runs and 87 RBIs) but had a rough 2012 season (hitting .235 with 16 home runs and 49 RBIs).
Francoeur was in the second year of his two-year, $13.5 million contract that he signed in August of 2011.
San Francisco, which won two of the last three World Series, has lost 12 of 14 and is a season-high eight games below .500. The team recently moved Angel Pagan to the 60-day disabled list, and the team fears he may miss the rest of the season.
Francoeur, a right-handed hitter, figures to platoon with switch-hitter Andres Torres in left field.

The best feed would be one formulated locally in your country, or one neighboring. If you are able to buy broiler day old chicks, then surely the supplier will be able to steer you in the right direction.
Asked for male, 18 years old from Bhagalpur
Provide scours treatment in the form of oral electrolyte fluid. First, stop feeding all milk and milk replacer. Replace your goat kid's feedings of milk with an equal amount of electrolyte fluids until the diarrhea has cleared up, which should be within two or three days.
Health Query
Hi, yesterday night I brought a cat who was starving and was in rain it was a 1 day born kitten, her mother didn't come to pick him I left the kitten for 20 hrs so I took him to home and now it is not drinking milk but feeling better than outside because it was meowing the whole night now how should I feed him milk he is drinking a drop of milk if I catch him he is meowing and when I leave it sleeps I don't want it to die I'm feeding it with the syringe.
Without some canned food, they won't get enough nutrition to grow properly. If you are feeding your kitten both dry and canned foods, then twice a day canned feedings are sufficient. If they're only eating canned food, they should be fed four times daily.

Canonical has unveiled a complete branding overhaul, redesigning everything from the Ubuntu website to its logos and marketing material. However, what interests me more are the new Gtk+ themes, and even then, I'm not interested in the colour choices and the like. No - what stood out to me right away was not the theme itself - but the placement of the titlebar widgets.

- Six Month Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Six months post transplant ]Overall survival is defined as time from transplant to death or last follow-up.
- Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD) [ Time Frame: 100 Days ]Acute GVHD will be graded according to the BMT CTN Manual of Procedures. The time to onset of acute grades II-IV GVHD and grades III-IV GVHD will be recorded, as well as the maximum grade achieved.
- Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD) [ Time Frame: 100 days, 6 months, 2 years ]Chronic GVHD will be scored according to the BMT CTN Manual of Procedures. The time to onset of limited and extensive chronic GVHD will be recorded.
- Immunologic Reconstitution [ Time Frame: 8 Weeks; 6, 12 and 24 Months ]This will be measured in all patients at 8 weeks, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post-transplant. Tests to be performed on peripheral blood at those time points include CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, CD3+/CD25+, CD45 RA/RO, CD56+/CD3-, and quantitative immunoglobulins (IgM, IgG and IgA).
- Impact of Therapy on the HIV Reservoir [ Time Frame: Day 100, 6 Months, 12 Months, and 24 Months ]HIV-1 RNA in plasma will be measured by standard real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) (detection limit 40 copies/ml) and by the investigational single copy assay (SCA, detection limit 0.38 copy/ml). HIV-1 DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and other cells will be quantified using the same primers and probes used for SCA but without a reverse transcription step. HIV-1 RNA levels will be measured in plasma prior to the initiation of ablative chemotherapy, and at Day +100, 1 and 2 years post-transplant.
- Hematologic Function [ Time Frame: Day 100, 6 months ]Hematologic function will be defined by absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than 1500, Hemoglobin greater than 10g/dL without transfusion support, and platelets greater than 100,000 and measured at Day 100 and 6 months. Use of growth factors will be noted.

Wadi Halfa
Wadi Halfa is a town on the shores of Lake Nasser in the north of Sudan, and marks the point of entry into Sudan for those coming in from Egypt. It is surrounded by the dunes of the Nubian Desert, the eastern edge of the Sahara.
Wadi Halfa is Nubia's most important trading point, being the gateway between Egypt and Sudan. With immaculate buildings and surrounded by the golden dunes of the Nubian Desert, it is also exceptionally beautiful for a border town, with none of the usual hassle and dirt. The town is actually the new Wadi Halfa; the original Wadi Halfa was submerged with the building of Lake Nasser, and most of its disgruntled inhabitants were re-located hundreds of kilometres away, to the east. A few Wadi Halfans refused to move away from the river (the Nile) that had built their ancestors' identities as fishermen and river traders and built new settlements several times, finally settling on the current location when the flooding stopped. Seasonal flooding still occurs.
Get in
As the road crossing from Egypt periodically closes, and has no public transport even when open, most people entering Sudan from Egypt come by the weekly ferry from Aswan. The ferry docks at the Customs and Immigration terminal five kilomtres outside Wadi Halfa. A sand track leads from the terminal to Wadi Halfa, and several vehicles wait at the terminal, touting for business. It is also possible to walk or cycle into town.
Coming from Khartoum, there is a weekly train to Wadi Halfa. It is also possible to get buses, "boxes" (Toyota Hiluxes) or trucks.
Get around
Wadi Halfa is a relatively small town and can be easily explored on foot. Another option is to borrow a donkey, which is the transport of choice for many Wadi Halfans.
If you have just arrived in Sudan and plan to travel independently and off the beaten track (ie not going straight to Khartoum), you will require a Permit To Travel in Sudan. Obtaining one from Wadi Halfa's police station will likely take the best part of a day.
More relaxed options for things to do include wandering out into the desert, climbing a sand dune or sitting around drinking tea and chatting.
The shops and market in Wadi Halfa are substantially better stocked than other small towns to the south, getting most of their goods directly from Egypt. There is an excellent food market just beside the main square that opens early some mornings.
Almost all the eateries are based around the main square and most offer a choice of "fuul" (beans) with bread or fried Nile perch with bread. Many of the restaurants and shops only open two days a week; on the two days after the ferry arrives.
Alcohol is illegal in Sudan. All of the eateries around the main square serve tea, and Wadi Halfans, Egyptian tradesmen and tourists tend to gather there for a few cuppas and to watch the world go by.
For most of the year, there are several hotels in Wadi Halfa, although after the rains, many close for repairs. All are similar, offering string beds, bucket showers, mud floors, a courtyard and clean rooms. Many have no signs so ask around.
Get out
There is a weekly train from Wadi Halfa to Khartoum, which leaves some time after the weekly ferry from Aswan arrives. There are also buses and boxes heading south after the ferry arrives. NB If you wait for more than a couple of days in Wadi Halfa, all transport will have left and you may be stranded until the next weekly ferry arrives. If travelling south to Akasha with your own vehicle, note that this is a 145 kilometre stretch (local maps are wrong) and there is only one place with water along the way, just before Akasha.

Daily commute to Manhattan on Metro-North could be a mess for a few weeks
Hartford — Broken electrical equipment interrupted rush-hour rail commutes into and out of New York City and snarled rail service as far south as Washington on Wednesday, and the problem could take weeks to repair, a utility said as it sought a power alternative for the trains.
The delays began when a high-voltage feeder cable failed early in the morning in Mount Vernon, N.Y., a suburb north of New York City. Another feeder that could have powered the trains was out for equipment upgrades, said the Con Edison utility, which serves the New York City area.
Tens of thousands of people in the densely populated suburbs north of New York City and into Connecticut use the Metro-North commuter railroad, the nation's second-largest.
On Wednesday afternoon, Metro-North said it would provide limited service on hourly diesel trains that would make all local stops. The service accommodates 10 percent of its regular ridership on the line between New York City's Grand Central Terminal and New Haven, and riders were urged to expect crowded stations and to find alternative service.
The broken circuit could take two to three weeks to repair, Con Ed said.
Metro-North said it was developing a Thursday morning train and bus shuttle schedule, and spokeswoman Marjorie Anders advised commuters to find another way into and out of New York.
"It will be crowded. It will be slow," she said in an email. "Seek alternate means."
The delays had a ripple effect. Interstate 95 saw significant traffic congestion Wednesday morning in Connecticut, where it runs near the railroad. Traffic eased somewhat by early afternoon, from 20-mile backups to traffic jams a few miles long, the Connecticut Department of Transportation reported.
And Amtrak, which runs along the same Metro-North corridor, advised passengers that service in the Northeast was operating with significant delays. Acela Express service was suspended between New York and Boston, and service between New York and Washington was delayed.
If no alternative source of power is found, that could mean weeks of longer, more congested commutes.
Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy urged commuters to avoid Metro-North and carpool or work from home if possible.
"This is going to be a substantial disruption for a substantial period of time," he said, adding that service will be restored by Oct. 14, when the second electricity feeder was slated to go back online, but that he hoped the trains would be running sooner.
Irate passengers vented online, and the head of a commuter advisory group complained that rail service was disrupted frequently over the summer for needed track work in New York. Wednesday's disruption, though not Metro-North's fault, adds to frustration among commuters, commuter advocate Jim Cameron said.
"It means commuters must have a Plan B and a Plan C," he said.
During the evening rush hour at Grand Central Terminal, hundreds of frustrated commuters who rely on the out-of-service New Haven line scrambled to come up with alternative routes.
Attorney Robert Drucker said he was looking at a 2½-hour commute, more than twice his usual 55-minute trip, back to his Stamford, Conn., home. On Wednesday morning, Drucker drove his car to a White Plains, N.Y., station on a different Metro-North line, parked it and took a different train into the city.
"There was so much traffic, with everybody lined up," he said of his early morning commute, as he prepared for the evening trip ahead of him. "It'll take forever."

This movie was so funny...It's nice to go out and have a good laugh.
The first Bad Moms movie was funny so I thought I'd like Bad Moms Christmas too. I was wrong. It wasn't terrible but not nearly as funny. The biggest attempt at humour is to under the F-word in every second sentence. I'm not a prude but a child saying "f**k" does not a comedy make.
This is not worth one star pure garbage and my computer will not let me enter 1 star
It is a hilarious, unrealistic, out-to-lunch type movie that made us laugh heartily in spite of the vulgarity which we totally expected (from the trailers). It is truly an 'escape', especially for the female audience, yet there is some serious message about mothers of certain personality in here that I can truly relate to it and see it everyday.
I would've given it a 5 stars if the director didn't make the little girl say "oh my f**king god" numerous times. While I'm far from being religious, I don't think it's either necessary or funny.
Not as good as Bad Mom's but still entertaining and funny. Definitely one to watch with your lady friends.
Misleading Christmas. This movie was very disgusting.
True Christmas? Seriously?
The idea was three women whose mothers visit during Xmas all have issues. A decent idea to show the true meaning of Xmas....how family can come together. But, it got sleazy and cheesy fast, which was a shame.
Lots of fun , lots of laughs and so true about Christmas being crazy time of the year and stressful .
Some pretty good laughs, and the older moms were hotter than the younger ones.
It just wasn't funny - a couple of people laughed a couple of times in the whole theatre. I wouldn't call it a comedy, that's for sure

Sadie Coadner Hanright
I'm trying to find information on my g-gf's 3rd wife, Sadie Coadner. They married in Nova Scotia in 1890 and returned to Upstate NY where the children by his 1st wife were living. She was supposed to have come from Newfoundland; her parent's names were George and Anne. I haven't been able to find her there. My g-gf died in 1895; 2 months before his last son was born. I found her in Rome, NY in the 1900 Census where she gave a lot of mis-information ie that she was married to a Robert Hanright (my g-gf's last son's name) and had been married to him since 1892 -- NOT TRUE --g-gf was still alive. Sometime after this she left her 2 boys with neighbors and disappeared. The boys grew up in this area and their 1/2 brothers and they all knew each other.
I recently heard from someone tracing their gf who was adopted in Syracuse and they believe that Sadie was the mother and gave him up. This was 1901/2.
I next found Sadie in the 1910 census and she was living in Auburn, NY and now had a daughter, born 1902/3. Since Ancestry has posted a lot of city directories online from back then, I know she was still in Auburn in 1919 working in the Auburn City Hospital as a cook.
I next found her living with her married daughter in the 1930 Census in Massachusetts. I'm waiting for the 1940 census to come out so I can see if she is still there.
Would appreciate hearing from anyone that connects to Sadie Coadner and her line.
Looking for proof of James & Jane Eliza Hanright in Rosinallis, Ireland
I'm a descendant of James & Jane Hanright through their son, William A Hanright who was born about 1816 in Ireland. Thomas Rice was William's brother. Donna Hanright who lives in Ontario, Canada is responsible for a lot of the family lineage info. I have been unable to find any info in Rosenallis, Ireland where they are supposed to have come from. I was told by a nephew-in-law of mine, who went to Cork, that there were Hanrights there. I haven't been able to pull up any phone numbers in Ireland for a Hanright on the internet. From what I have seen in the Canadian Census's, Thomas was listed as being born in PEI in one of them. I have seen differing dates for his birth also which makes it hard to determine his actual date of birth. If James & Jane came here before 1920 as Donna thinks, then Thomas would not have been born in Ireland. He appeared in the Westmorland County, New Brunswick census of 1851 where he was married to Albion Chappell and he was 29 yrs. Estimated birth year would be 1822/23. His name was spelled Handwright.
If anyone has any leads regarding the Ireland connection, would love to hear from them. You can contact me at [email protected]

Wouldn't call Kodaka the hero, the harem lead maybe in which case he already assembed his collection. Yozora has an objective, which is why she started the neighbour club in the first place. Over time, her manuvures on Kodaka often backfires which is why she's tragic -> eg her advices to Yukimura.
As for her current appearance, it's supposed to attract female readers, in the same vein as Yozora and Sena's relationship.
There's been 0 background on Yozora's family so far so I always felt it as some type of trump card later.

Whilst in a normal romantic comedy, the developments between Kodaka and Sena thus far would've set a number of flags and you'd consider her way ahead in the race, but this LN is about a bunch of people who do not understand the concept of friends, and forming a club with the ultimate aim to find friends yet oblivious to the fact that the club members are in all practicality, already friends.
It's a surreal setting but the whole premise of the series. The chapter about mobile phones perfectly illustrate this: despite the usage being obvious, Sena doesn't have a phone (in this day and age!), Kodaka only thought of using his phone as a mean to communicate with his family, and Yozura only used her phone to check internet/shop opening hours (LOL).
So Yozura's official 'former friend' status with Kodaka is one powerful factor at odds with everything else within the context of the bunch. Given the cliff hanger in the last vol, it is possible the rest of the bunch will overreact to the revelation.

Its shallow but its easier to root for an ugly girl with good personality or the good looking girl with irksome personality (though bit harder but still gets enough popularity like Louise from ZnT), but Yozura is an exception - not only she looks ugly from the outside (of course this ugly comes from 'manga-novel' terms ugly because in manga no character can be fully ugly) but she is also the most ugly from the inside as well.
Childhood card is not giving her enough redemption. She may be a jerk with golden heart somewhere but all other girls are so much better looks and personality wise than her still, that if the author would end with Yozura as a final girl right a bigger part of fans of the story would be against it because again Yozura is just ugly on every aspect so far and those little glimpses of niceness just do not help with anything because the gap between her and all other girls in the manga is just too deep.

Spanish Collection Society Threatens Legal Action Against Group That Favors Copyleft & Creative Commons Music
from the the-attack-on-alternative-models-continues dept
The latest example comes to us via Paul Keating, who alerts us to the situation in Spain, where the collection society SGAE is making a series of legal threats against the organization EXGAE, which promotes things like "copyleft" licenses and Creative Commons licensing. SGAE claims that EXGAE is infringing on the trademark on their name -- even though it certainly seems like most people can tell the difference -- and is especially pissed off that EXGAE mentions SGAE on its website. The key issue, it seems, is that SGAE says EXGAE is using SGAE as a "smear reference" and "undermining the reputation of the SGAE."
This seems like pretty blatant bullying. Trademark doesn't mean that no one can use your name without permission. And, if pointing out that there are alternatives to the way you do business is a "smear" and "undermining your reputation," you probably have bigger issues to deal with.
Once again, we're left wondering: why are so many collection societies afraid to give the musicians they claim to represent choice and options when it comes to licensing their works? As Paul also pointed out, it's pretty amazing when you think about the comparison. The industry regularly puts out misleading and false claims calling people "pirates," but EXGAE discusses more options for artists, and they're told to shut up or face legal consequences.

My internet crashed twice in doing that review. You have no idea how hard that was.
You better enjoy it :evil:
Great review but i'm not a big fan of rap though.
Great review. One time on BET I saw a live show of this funk/soul band that did an awesome cover of "Big Poppa" with a couple psychadelic solos added in the beginning. I use that song as an example to all the Blink or Linkin fans who say that their music has no use for solos. All music could use a solo or two!
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffThis album only scores a 3/5 from me. I don't know....there's a handful of great songs on it, but it's way too inconsistent, and at times, it's unlistenable.
It doesn't deserve the reputation. And how this made it into the RS Top 500, and not a single 2Pac album did, is beyond me.
Wow, ok. I've never heard anyone that appreciates rap music say that this wasn't a definitive rap album. I would say it's quite consistant throughout cosidering there are 17 songs.
There are no 2Pac albums in the top 500 because...will I say it....because 2Pac never made a great album. People love the image of him and he did make some great songs but his albums are very average.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffI should have phrased that better. I totally agree that 2Pac never made a truly great album. And, if I were compiling a Top 500 albums of all time, none of his would get in. Well, except maybe his Greatest Hits.
What I meant was, that if Ready To Die is the standard set for that list, then 2Pac should have got in, because he made at least 1 album better than this.
This album is not very good

In rap lyrical content is all they have going for them
I find rap just plain crappy poetry over a beat. I agree with Fee, actually. The best rappers are the ones that rap about something other than slapping fine ass ho's. Eminem and Kanye West rap about something other than women and livin in the south and getting crunk. They're the best.

Great album. Good review.
Didn't allmusic say it was "seen as one of the greatest hardcore rap albums of all time", rather than the greatest?
I really like this album, but I don't really think that it was a hardcore rap album, more like a pop-rap one. Great review, B.I.G. is one of the best rappers ever. But I like Pac a bit better.This Message Edited On 05.31.06

Other TonePrints by James 'Munky' Shaffer
TC: Who inspired you to create your guitar tone? Shaffer: When I was ten years old I heard 'Eruption' for the first time but I didn't understand 'cause I was young and I thought a guitar was such a traditional instrument. However, when I heard 'Eruption' I thought it was the craziest, most beautiful thing I had ever heard. So from that point in time, it was like: "I gotta know more about effects, guitars and amps"! Then I started getting into things like Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi and his guitar tones. And I think that's how I got started.
TC: Would you describe yourself as a gear nerd? Shaffer: A little bit. I normally like to keep everything analog. The TonePrint pedals are probably the perfect combination of crossing the two worlds together. Because it's interactive and you can download different parameters, but you can also adjust them to your own thing.
TC: What's the main ingredient in your guitar tone? Shaffer: I went through a lot of amps on the first couple of Korn records. Ross Robinson and I found a lot of different old amplifiers that I bring with me on tour. They are really road worthy as they can take a beating and still sound great. I do have a Marshall '69 at home that I love. However, I leave it at home because I use it for recordings only. Also, I have an old straight tweed cabinet that sounds really amazing – they don't make them like that anymore.
TC: What kinds of effects do you like to use? Shaffer: I like to combine delays with choruses and different pedals like a flanger, a wah and the stables: I gotta have a clean and dirty sound like every guitar player and a whammy pedal and a wah wah, so if I needed three important pedals in my setup it would be a clean and a dirty channel, a wah wah and a whammy pedal.
TC: So what did you want to create with your Corona Chorus TonePrint and Flashback Delay TonePrint? Shaffer: It was just about creating a good sound that sounds good to me. It has enough parameters for anyone who would like to tweak it to their taste.
TC: So did any new ideas for tones or combinations of tones pop up in the process? Shaffer: I'm really exited to use this particular delay (Flashback Delay) and incorporate it into a song. It's something new. Once I get back home, I can take these pedals back into the studio and really play with them.
TC: In your opinion what's the coolest thing about making these TonePrints? Shaffer: The coolest thing for me is that it combines the two technologies into an analog feel pedal that I can also access through different TonePrints and different presets. Then it's small and it's durable. It's well made! Those are the things I need - especially on tour. I want to be able to throw it, beat it, let it get water, beer, urine, blood, whatever comes on tour. If I create something with the pedal, I won't be afraid to put it out there and use it every night. Durability is important for anybody.
TC: When you use effects, do you prefer to have a bunch of parameters, so you can tweak a lot of knobs, or do you prefer just an 'on and off'?
Shaffer: I like to have the pedals in front of me because night after night we're playing the same songs. Therefore, I like to have my parameters right in front of me so I quickly can make some adjustments to the delay or the feedback time. I'm always sitting down and tweaking them. My guitar tech Jim, he sets the basic parameters. But usually at the end of a show I've messed with most of them. Some of the pedals I don't touch, as some sounds are crucial for particular songs. It's sort of a color palette for me as an artist.
TC: Do you guys create your songs in the studio? Shaffer: Yeah, we usually create them in the studio, or sometimes Jonathan has a writing rig and we'll come and jam with some drum beats. Then we take those ideas and bring them back into the studio. We bounce the ideas around between everybody while we're all in the same room and when a song is done Jonathan comes with the lyrics and melodies. So we make sure that the rhythms has a backbone before the melodies are added.Read more about James 'Munky' Shaffer

"About one hour ago at 3AM, I was trying to rest when the boat lay down in a sudden on the port side (I think it's because of a wave). I was under solent with two reefs in the mainsail. I went out to put everything back together. I was putting down the port rudder when another wave smashed on the boat and made the mainsail go on the starboard side. I caught the mainsail sheet on the right side of my face and I fell on the left side of my chest.
Appraisal: a small cut at the base of the left nostril which I treated with some sterile strip and a broken rib, according to advice from Dr. Chauve (the Vendée Globe Doctor). Unfortunately, I lost another sail (the small spinnaker) as it was outside in a bag and was swept away when the boat lay down. It will be difficult to manoeuvre now with this pain. Have a good day, Alessandro."
Contacted by phone Monday morning, Alessandro tries to recover and rest. Already very tired by his two mast climbs – he hasn't slept for 48 hours - Alessandro has kept up his morale despite the pain and the fatigue.

Potential Impacts of Proposed Changes to the Clean Water Act Jurisdictional Rule
2167 Rayburn House Office Building
This is a hearing of the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment.
Summary of Subject Matter
Official Hearing Transcript
Panel I
Panel II
Hearing on "Potential Impacts of Proposed Changes to the Clean Water Act Jurisdictional Rule
June 11, 2014
(Remarks as Prepared)
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
In late April, the President published a proposed rule that will dramatically extend the reach of the federal government when it comes to regulating ponds, ditches, and other wet areas. This is yet another example of a disturbing pattern of an Imperial Presidency that seeks to use executive action and brute force while ignoring Congress and the Supreme Court.
Unilaterally broadening the scope of the Clean Water Act and the federal government's reach into our everyday lives will adversely affect the Nation's economy, threaten jobs, invite costly litigation, and restrict the rights of landowners, states, and local governments to make decisions about their lands.
This massive federal jurisdiction grab was the subject of failed legislation in the 110th and 111th Congresses. Strong bipartisan opposition prevented those bills from moving forward.
Now the Obama Administration is trying to administratively do an end-run around Congress and achieve this federal power expansion through a rulemaking. This proposed rule supposedly aims to "clarify" which waterbodies are subject to federal jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act.
But I am extremely concerned that there are serious flaws with this rule. Twice, the Supreme Court has told the agencies that there are limits to federal jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act, and that they had gone too far in asserting their authority. Now the Administration has taken those Supreme Court rulings and cherry-picked discreet language from them in an attempt to gain expanded authority over new waters, rather than heeding the directive of the Court.
It is the responsibility of Congress, and not the Administration, to define the scope of jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act.
This rule will have sweeping economic and regulatory implications for the entire Nation. Therefore, it is vitally important that the agencies correct the deficiencies with this rulemaking and develop a rule that is credible, reasonable, and consistent with the law.
Regulation of the Nation's waters must be done in a manner that responsibly protects the environment, without an unnecessary and costly expansion of the federal government. We can continue to protect our waters without unreasonable and burdensome regulations on our businesses, farmers, and families.
Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment
On April 21st of this year, the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers published a proposed rule in the Federal Register that, according to the agencies, would "clarify" the scope of federal jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act. After reviewing the proposed rule, I have serious concerns about the rule and the process the agencies are following to develop it.
Since 1972, the Clean Water Act has been instrumental in dramatically improving the quality of the Nation's waters. Fundamental to that progress has been the federal-state partnership, which recognizes that not all waters need to be subject to federal jurisdiction, and the states should have the primary responsibility of regulating waters within their individual boundaries.
However, I am concerned this rule will undermine that federal-state partnership and erode state authority by granting sweeping new federal jurisdiction to waters never intended for regulation under the Clean Water Act, including ditches, man-made ponds, floodplains, riparian areas, and seasonally-wet areas.
In promoting this rule, the agencies are implying to the public that massive amounts of wetlands and stream miles are not being protected by the states, and that this rule, which will essentially federalize all waters, is needed to save them. However, nothing is further from the truth. States care about and are protective of their waters.
I also am concerned how the proposed rule misconstrues and manipulates the legal standards announced in the SWANCC and Rapanos Supreme Court cases, effectively turning those cases that placed limits on federal Clean Water Act jurisdiction into a justification for the agencies to expand their assertion of federal authority over all waters nationally.
The agencies had an opportunity to develop clear and reasonable bright line rules on what is jurisdictional versus not, but they instead chose to write many of the provisions in the proposed rule vaguely, in order to give federal regulators substantial discretion to claim federal jurisdiction over most any water or wet area. This is dangerous because this vagueness will leave the regulated community without any clarity and certainty as to their regulatory status and will leave them exposed to citizen suits. In addition, since many of these jurisdictional decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis, this will give the federal regulators free rein to "find" jurisdiction.
This rule, in essence, will establish a presumption that all waters are jurisdictional and will shift, to property owners and others in the regulated community, the burden of proving otherwise. This rule will set a very high bar for the regulated community to overcome. Nevertheless, the agencies continue to claim that no new waters would be covered by the rulemaking.
The agencies cannot, through guidance or a rule, change the scope and meaning of the Clean Water Act, as they are trying to do here.
I also am troubled that the sequence and timing of the actions the agencies have been taking to develop this rule are undermining the credibility of the rule and the process to develop it.
First, instead of initiating a rulemaking process by soliciting input from, and developing consensus with, the general public, scientific communities, and federal and state resource agencies on how to identify the appropriate scope of jurisdiction, the agencies rushed ahead on their own to develop draft "guidance" that would, by the agencies' own admission, "increase significantly" the scope of the Clean Water Act's jurisdiction over more waters and more provisions of the Act.
Then, after facing substantial bipartisan opposition to the expansive new guidance, the agencies proceeded ahead, again on their own, with a rulemaking that is simply based on that expansive guidance.
And, to hide the inadequacies of the rulemaking process that the agencies have embarked on, EPA decided to develop a so-called "scientific" study that is supposed to provide a basis for determining the reach of federal jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act.
It is disturbing that EPA intentionally precluded from the study a review and discussion of scientific concepts that are highly relevant to determining which waters should be subject to Clean Water Act coverage. The interconnectedness of the science and policy issues here warrants rigorous scientific peer review prior to a rule's crafting. However, instead of waiting until the science study was completed, the agencies wrote the rule long before the study's report has been peer reviewed and finalized.
The agencies also took steps to hide the regulatory impacts of the rulemaking by preparing a flawed economic analysis that did not comprehensively assess all costs and benefits.
This is very troubling because this rule, if not carefully crafted, will have sweeping economic and regulatory implications for the entire Nation, by adversely impacting nearly all sectors of the economy, threatening jobs, increasing compliance costs, restricting the rights of landowners, inviting costly litigation, and undermining the ability of states and local governments to make decisions about their lands and waters.
Finally, I am pleased to hear that the agencies have just announced a 91-day extension to the public comment period for the proposed rule. However, the agencies should extend the comment period on the proposed rule until after the EPA Science Advisory Board has completed its review of the "science" study and the study's report is thoroughly vetted to ensure that any final rule is based on the final, peer-reviewed report.

Nazi-Era Provenance
The Provenance Research Project on the Nazi/World War II era
Research on provenance (the history of an artwork's ownership) is an ongoing function of curatorial research at the Cleveland Museum of Art. In short, we try to trace the history of a work of art from the moment it was made until it comes into our collection. Frequently, it is impossible to document a complete provenance, as there are many reasons we may not be able to account for every episode in the history of a work of art. A common challenge is that, traditionally, provenance records have often reflected an owner or former owner's wish for anonymity. Additionally, the ephemeral nature of historical records, which are often lost or destroyed over time, can further confound research. Despite these challenges, we have tried to provide complete information based on the resources available.
A number of historical factors affect the nature of this research, and a number of varied sources, including correspondence, invoices, and shipping documents, drawn from a wide range of reference materials, assist the researcher in determining provenance. We consult all these materials in order to create the most complete provenance we can.
In response to the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) guidelines issued in June 1998, the paintings department of the Cleveland Museum of Art embarked upon a major research project to investigate in depth the provenance of paintings that might relate to Nazi-era art looting during the period 1933–1945. Research of museum materials including curatorial and registrarial files, as well as national and international libraries and archives, began almost immediately, and remains an ongoing priority of the paintings department. Subsequent to that effort, the museum reviewed its holdings of European sculpture in a similar manner.
We have no reason to believe any of these works have serious provenance problems. Provenance research findings posted here are limited to the 373 works of art in our European paintings collection and the 86 in our European sculpture collection that either have gaps in their provenance or that were known to have been confiscated by the Nazis during their time of power. Gaps in provenance reflect the current state of research and do not indicate that a work of art was involved in the Nazis' systematic art plunder. Rather, in any instance where fully documented information is not available for this period (thus creating a gap in provenance), the work of art has been included on the list. Color images of works are provided as available.
Due to the nature of this research, it is a continuous and ongoing task. This list will be updated on a regular basis to reflect our findings. Should you have any questions or information relating to these provenances, please contact the museum at ProvenanceResearch [at] clevelandart.org.

Phase one of the research was limited to European paintings. To maximize the capabilities of the research staff, and to focus on areas most likely to be problematic, selection was limited to European paintings produced before 1945. From these 615 European paintings, 260 were excluded because they were found to meet one of the following criteria: a) acquired by the museum before 1933 or b) geographically located in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom, without exception, during the period 1933–1945. Phase two examined the European sculpture collection produced before 1945. Of the 268 objects, 182 were excluded because they were either acquired by the museum before 1933 or were geographically located in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom, without exception, during the period 1933–1945.
Accession Numbers
Accession numbers reflect the year an object was acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art. In most cases, the year is indicated by the four digits before the decimal point (example: 1942.641). In a few exceptions, the date comes after the decimal (example: 194.1939).
Confiscated Works
Included on the list are works of art from the museum's collection known to have been confiscated by the Nazis. The record of their confiscation was uncovered after research of the Munich Collecting Point Archives (the Allied postwar art clearinghouse depot). Photographs and microfiche of the Munich Collecting Point records are stored at the National Gallery of Art, Photographic Archives, Washington, D.C.
The Period 1933-1945, the Nazi/World War II era
The period of provenance research, in keeping with current standards, is 1933-1945, the complete period of Nazi rule. This defined period of time is somewhat misleading, however, as art confiscations did not begin immediately with Hitler's ascension to power. The more programmatic confiscations began later than 1933, with the establishment of the ERR (Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg), Hitler's official art-looting agency.
Settlement Related to Allegory of the Christian Faith by Johann Liss
In April 2013, The Cleveland Museum of Art entered into a settlement with the heirs of Dr. Arthur Feldmann with respect to a drawing by Johann Liss entitled Allegory of the Christian Faith. The drawing remains at the Museum. Dr. Feldmann, an attorney in Brno, Czech Republic, accumulated a significant collection of drawings. In 1939, shortly after the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Germany, the contents of Dr. Feldmann's home, including his drawings collection, were seized. Dr. Feldmann was arrested, tortured and died in 1941. Mrs. Feldmann was deported to Theresienstadt and later perished at Auschwitz.
The drawing is known to be in Dr. Feldmann's collection as early as 1929, when it was seen by Dr. Otto Benesch and noted as in the collection of Dr. Arthur Feldmann. Dr. Benesch published the work in a 1933 article, Beschreibender Katalog, Die Zeichnungen der Deutschen Schulen, indicating its provenance as "Feldmann Collection." The drawing was published again in 1940 by Kurt Steinbart in Johann Liss der Maler aus Holstein (and in a subsequent revised edition under the same title published in 1946), but the ownership, in both additions, was attributed to Dr. O. Feldmann (one of Dr. Arthur Feldmann's two sons). Dr. Benesch again published the work in 1951 in an article Liss's 'Temptation of St Anthony', indicating its provenance as formerly in the collection of Dr. A. Feldmann. The Museum acquired the drawing in 1953 from a London dealer, Herbert Bier, whose records indicate he acquired the work that same year from R.A. Newton.
Mr. Uri Peled, Dr. Feldmann's grandson, said on behalf of Dr Feldmann's heirs, "I would like to express our delight that this drawing is remaining in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art. We are sure that our grandfather would have wanted the drawing to be available to the public and for future research".
