After years of critical acclaim, Ghost has become the Wu-Tang Clan's saving grace, but as time passes, can Toney Starks keep the historical importance of the Clan alive?
Late November 2003. The electric sign outside New York City's Madison Square Garden is flashing "An Evening With Jay-Z Tonight - Soul Out!". Inside the arena, Hip-Hop fans give off enough energy to heat a thousand saunas. To quote a certain rapper's skit, "It felt hot at night." Something was about to go down. And not just the fight that jumped off right before Jay took the stage. Little did those in the stands known that in addition to bidding Jiggaman farewell that night, they would actually be meeting a new champion. Not actually new. Maybe more like unexpected. The story of Toney Starks, aka Ghostface Killah, now known simply as Ghostface, making a cameo at one of the biggest shows of the year was the stuff miracles are made of. With the Wu-Tang Clan's 10-year anniversary about to come and go virtually uncelebrated, Ghost made his move. A few months earlier, he was recording in Miami when local DJ Tom LaRock got his hands on Beyonce's melodically blissful but unreleased "Summertime" record, chopped up the ProTools and slid it to him to jump on. (Ghost later says "I always record in Florida, because it's a better vibe. I recorded Cuban Linx out in Florida, so you know it gives me some nice albums".) Much like 50 Cent's B.I.G. collabo, the streets got ahold of the unauthorized remix and demanded airplay. Before long, the song was a radio smash. As a result, the reigning King of New York (who allegedly shut Sean Paul down from performing with Beyonce at the MTV Music Awards) had allowed the Staten Islander to rock the crowd with his girl while we was offstage changing clothes. It seemed that while Kanye West was kickin' "Jesus Walks" from outside the arena, Ghost was walking on water. People cheered and sang along as the gruffly bearded Wu-Tang member with dinner-plate-sized medallions hanging below his waistline paced back and forth onstage. After his verse, a Ghost, in a black, rhinestone-studded-out bathrobe, leaned back and let out a bright Kool-Aid smile. Even years after the Wu's monumental entrance into the rap game, he could still move the crowd with the best of them. The warm reception Ghost received that night meant not only had he joined his acting and rapping Clansman Method Man as a Def Jam label-mate but also as an artist capable of making the rough transition from underground king to mainstream heavyweight contender. But before he can snatch the championship belt, he has to break the mold. He must reintroduce himself to today's Chingy/J-Kwon generation and convince a significant amount of them to buy his fourth gospel, The Pretty Toney Album. Ghostface is aware that to many of today's rap fans, his intentity is almost as unknown as he once wanted it to be. When the Wu first debuted back in '93, he used to rock a stsocking cap over his face and willingly played the background. Somehow the tables have turned, though, and now he's the Clan's powerhouse. But even as his street anthem "Run" with Jadakiss tears up the mixtape scene and the Missy-assisted "Tush" creeps up the charts, the fate of his career, his Clan's relevancy and the future of the Hip-Hop generation hang in the balance, Ironman says he overstands the importance of working harder than ever in order to reach the people.
Ghost's mission is to convert the Hip-Hop populance, but it won't be easy. So just a couple of months after the Madison Square Garden performance, he hit the road, bringing along his team of newcomers, Theodore Unit, the most notable member being his new protege Trife (Superb is currently incarcerated, but hopes to be released sometime next year.) Despite years of touring and proving himself to be the Wu's most consistent member by releasing three critically acclaimed albums, Ironman, Supreme Clientele and Bulletproof Wallets, on Epic Records, Ghost has yet to earn a platinum plaque of his own (Though Ironman came close with 854,000 units sold). When asked, the Wally kingpin blames his lackluster sales and eventual departure from the label on lack of promotion. "Them niggas known I put the work in." Ghost blurts, as his dark-tinted SUV dips through traffic on the southside of Chicago. "And it was like, for a nigga not to be able to sell no records? And I'm a made nigga. But (they) couldn't move a nigga's package. So they was like, 'Yo, I'm sorry, son, we fucked up. You could do what you want to do.' So you know, I got let go. I got out of that situation." Sadly, Epic had proved ineffective at marketing other street artists as well, many of whom eventually went on to do better things. After his sophomore Sports, Drugs and Entertainment failed to go gold, Cam'Ron left Epic for Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam, turned his Dip Set into a movement and quickly went platinum. Ghost too decided to move on. He called Lyor Cohen and told him he needed a new home. Cohen invited Ghost up to his office and in a matter of weeks, the paperwork was done. "I always wanted to be on that team anyway," Ghost admits "I was a free agent a year ago. They gave me the ball now. It's like Def Jam just signed A. Rod." On his worst days, Ghostface is a god among men in the rap arena. His unwillingness to conform to industry standards has put him up there with other Hip-Hop icons who may not always be seen but make a lasting impression. So with the strength of one of the music industry's most proven marketing behind him, Starks hoped to achieve that coveted platinum success that had always eluded him. "I just wanted a place where my music counted" he says "You know Def Jam, they make stars. They ain't gonna make me, but them niggas could take the wackest nigga and turn him into something." But there have been some drastic changes internally at Def Jam since Ghost joined the team. Lyor Cohen left for Warner Bros. and was replaced by Arista exec L.A. Reid, who's better known for his concentration on R&B music. Once again, Ghost found himself in the midst of label turmoil right around the release of an album. "I don't know how it's gonna be now with the new nigga in the building.", he says "Everybody is like kinda shaky right now with a new boss in there" (First week sales of Ghost's Def Jam debut, at 68,680 didn't exactly mark the dramatic improvement he'd hoped for) "I don't give a fuck if it was on Shithead Records," he jokes as he hops out of the backseat for a special dinner and listening session where DJs from all over the Chi-town area are waiting to score freestyle exclusives and build one-on-one with the great Ghost-Dini. "If them niggas could take me somewhere far, where I could get the rewards for what the fuck I've done as far as selling records, I'm gonna sign to Shithead Records."
Some say Ghostface doesn't make sense when he raps, going so far to call his rhymes about ziti and strawberry kiwi gibberish. But any die-hard fan would be quick to correct those sorry "bowling-ball heads" who've become so addicted to simpleton rap that they're no longer trained to listen and think at the same time. Even if some of his lyrics often go misunderstood, the emotion is what ultimately gives Ghost his appeal. He explains, "In Hip-Hop, in order to be a real MC you gotta really know how to maneuver. You gotta know how to make a nigga cry sometime. You gotta make a nigga really feel the pain. You also gotta make a nigga laugh." Indeed, The Pretty Toney Album CD runs the gamut of emotions. Showing his old soul, it's truly a healthy throwback tot the golden era of Hip-Hop - the true essence of the late '80's, a classic period when urban legends like Slick Rick, Kool G Rap and Rakim reigned supreme. Its powerful production, innovative sample use, various rhyme flows and diverse topics, all sprinkled with Ghost's eccentric vocabulary, make the disc a certified banger. Clearly, switching label homes hasn't cause Ghost to miss a beat. But something is definetly missing. While there a number of cameos on Toney (Missy, Jacki-O, Jadakiss, etc.) there aren't any Clansmen appearances. Which has lead some to question if there's truth to the rumors of dissension among the ranks of the Shaolin monks. But Ghostface chalks it up to rotuine family drama. "I mean, niggas is doing what niggas do," he explains "But it's like 'Yo, people look up to us, so we can't let the money go to our heads and take us away from how we cam in, on some Enter the 36 shit.' " At one time, the members of the 9- or 10-man (depending on who you ask) collective seemed inseparable. But disturbing reports of Wu members speaking negatively about the Clan on the radio quickly lead today's extremely sensitive audience to believe news of a possible break up. Even Ghost was said to have called Method Man "Hollywood" in an interview. According to Meth, that's all hype generated by shady journalists and radio hosts running with hearsay and innuendo. "If Ghost says I'm Hollywood", Meth Jokes "then it must be true." Ghost does admit that unity within the Clan will have to improve before the fans get to hear another Wu-Tang album. "Everybody gotta be there. From me, U-God, Masta Killa, Genius, even Dirty, you know what I mean? Deck, RZA, Rae, Cappa if he here, you know what I mean? EVERYBODY." he says "I believe we gonna come through cause my niggas ain't stupid. It's just a bunch of shit in niggas ways right now, where it's like more money, more problems. You bring up more family, more mortgages. And then you have to try to hold yourself down. Sometimes shit will pull you apart from your focus." RZA echoes the sentiments, revealing that a Wu-Tang album is in the works and should be out in early 2005. RZA also urges fans to stay tuned to WuTangCorp.Com, as the Abbott's still got a few tricks up his sleeve. "I've been talking to Ghost and Raekwon about doing another Cuban Linx. I think the fans deserve another Cuban Linx. I think the fans deserve another Wu-Tang Clan album, too. After that I think we did our job, nah'mean?" Still, a whole Ghost album without even a hook from Raekwon? That's like yin without the yang. After all, it was the undeniable chemistry between Wu's Batman and Robin that made some of Wu's material so classic. "Rae came and laid a verse down." Starks says of his Co-D. "But he was suppose to come and fix it.". As his release date drew closer, Ghost had to make a difficult decision. "If Rae don't come to fix his verse, then it's like, I'm gonna have to go to a plan B." He said a month before he had to turn in his album. "I'm not saying that I don't need nobody, but it's like, Wu ain't gotta feature on my album every time. I might want Tom, Dick and Harry to get on it." Still, the media is vicious and journalists tend to harp on any potential conflict or drama. But it doesn't look like there'll be a VH-1 Behind the Music on Wu-Tang any time soon. To the Wu, all this back-and-forth is really just petty. Ghost dismisses all of it. "We just acting stupid right now."
Late April 2004. Ghost triumphantly takes the stage wearing a bright-red long-sleeve thermal with matching du-rag under a white terry-cloth robe with "Toney Starks" emblazoned on the back. Unlike last time at the Garden, this is undeniably his show. Even as the light drizzle begins to turn into an unforgiving downpour, the droves of fans waiting patiently on line (which wraps almost all the way around the block) to get into New York's Roseland Ballroom are undeterred. It's Ghostface's first New York performance since his album dropped a week ago and with Rakim billed as a special invited guest, this is one show not to be missed. Evidently, album sales don't paint an accurate picture of his popularity. Although the God Rakim is arrested and detained before he even got a chance to move the crowd, Ghost is still joined by some other special guests waiting backstage, including Slick Rick who not only shares Ghost's flamboyant fashion sense but his struggle for relevance in today's Hip-Hop world as well. Shining like the truck gold chains around his neck. Ghost runs through his set of classic material, building momentum. Then, to the ultimate delight of the crowd, members of the Wu start coming out, one by one. First, Cappadonna and RZA appear to greet the thousands of loyal fans. Next, Raekwon joins his A-alike to perform, EPMD-reunion-style. And Masta Killa, Papa Wu and lastly, O.D.B. (who receives shrill screams for a verse of "Shimmy Shimmy Ya") follow. The only ones missing are U-God and Meth (who confirms he would've been there if he hadn't been in L.A. shooting his new TV show). Still, the overall feeling of unified Wu-Tang Clan was there. Those in the crowd who remember the beautiful chaos of the Wu's early, early shows as well as the newbies drawn in off the strength of "Run" and "Tush" seem equally entertained. It becomes clear Ghost is worthy of wearing the championship belt. But if it's based more on popularity than good music, he doesn't need or want it. "Today's MCs don't know who made the first rap record" Ghost says "In the '80's, you got KRS, Rakim, Kane and all that shit... The fly era! The glorious days are gone on some "Can it Be" shit" And in this new era, Ghost has his work cut out for him. "It's a new generation of rap. A lot of these little niggas don't know me. They might have heard of me, but you know they don't know me like how older niggas know me," he says, sucking his teeth in disbelief. "It's like niggas don't know the history."

If your organization does not meet the $300,000 guideline but you believe that the Academy would be beneficial to you and your organization, consider applying. Also, please contact ONEplace staff with any questions.
During the Academy, a variety of local experts and practitioners guide the participants through subject matter critical to nonprofit leadership as well as personal development activities vital to being a leader. As a result, participants discover their own leadership qualities and challenges through assessments, group discussion, and various participative exercises, and develop a plan for future steps toward leadership.
Each participant works with a mentor for the duration of the Academy. The mentor (usually a current executive director) and participant meet to further discuss topics raised in class and other related issues. These relationships allow students to assimilate material into their own experience and learn the interrelationships of issues from someone in the field.
The Academy includes nine full-day sessions (8:30 am – 4 pm). Sessions are held once a month beginning in February and concluding in November (one session during July/August; exact dates are on the application). Sessions will be held in a retreat-like setting, and it is expected that participants will be present for the entirety of every session. An orientation session will be held in December.
Prospective participants are encouraged to attend ONEplace Management Track workshops offered throughout the year to prepare for and supplement this intensive Academy.

A CUP she gave him, with kindly greeting
and winsome words. Of wounden gold,
she offered, to honor him, arm-jewels twain,
corselet and rings, and of collars the noblest
that ever I knew the earth around.
Ne'er heard I so mighty, 'neath heaven's dome,
a hoard-gem of heroes, since Hama bore
to his bright-built burg the Brisings' necklace,
jewel and gem casket. -- Jealousy fled he,
Eormenric's hate: chose help eternal.
Hygelac Geat, grandson of Swerting,
on the last of his raids this ring bore with him,
under his banner the booty defending,
the war-spoil warding; but Wyrd o'erwhelmed him
what time, in his daring, dangers he sought,
feud with Frisians. Fairest of gems
he bore with him over the beaker-of-waves,
sovran strong: under shield he died.
Fell the corpse of the king into keeping of Franks,
gear of the breast, and that gorgeous ring;
weaker warriors won the spoil,
after gripe of battle, from Geatland's lord,
and held the death-field.
Din rose in hall.
Wealhtheow spake amid warriors, and said: --
"This jewel enjoy in thy jocund youth,
Beowulf lov'd, these battle-weeds wear,
a royal treasure, and richly thrive!
Preserve thy strength, and these striplings here
counsel in kindness: requital be mine.
Hast done such deeds, that for days to come
thou art famed among folk both far and near,
so wide as washeth the wave of Ocean
his windy walls. Through the ways of life
prosper, O prince! I pray for thee
rich possessions. To son of mine
be helpful in deed and uphold his joys!
Here every earl to the other is true,
mild of mood, to the master loyal!
Thanes are friendly, the throng obedient,
liegemen are revelling: list and obey!"
Went then to her place. -- That was proudest of feasts;
flowed wine for the warriors. Wyrd they knew not,
destiny dire, and the doom to be seen
by many an earl when eve should come,
and Hrothgar homeward hasten away,
royal, to rest. The room was guarded
by an army of earls, as erst was done.
They bared the bench-boards; abroad they spread
beds and bolsters. -- One beer-carouser
in danger of doom lay down in the hall. --
At their heads they set their shields of war,
bucklers bright; on the bench were there
over each atheling, easy to see,
the high battle-helmet, the haughty spear,
the corselet of rings. 'Twas their custom so
ever to be for battle prepared,
at home, or harrying, which it were,
even as oft as evil threatened
their sovran king. -- They were clansmen good.

When my pay was direct-deposited into my checking account every two weeks while I was working my first full-time freelance job, I'd think, "Wow, that's a decent amount of money. I can totally live off this!"
Continue Reading Below
No one ever told me (and I never bothered to ask) why my paycheck seemed so large, so I lived it up for an entire year—eating out, going to plays, buying new clothes and taking trips.
Then April rolled around: tax time. In all fairness, I knew that I hadn't been paying taxes on the money I was making as a freelancer. I just had no idea how much I actually should have been setting aside from each paycheck. I now know that I should have been saving at least 33% to 35% of every paycheck to put toward taxes. Hindsight … you know what they say.
In the end, I owed a little over $3,000. My accountant practically cried when she gave me the news—and a full-blown panic attack.
Well, it turns out that I'm not the only one befuddled by taxes—especially now that the new tax laws have been put in place for 2013. We found three readers to share their own horror stories in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, it will never happen to you.
The $40K Bill Bombshell
In 2010, Heidi Saucedo's husband was working in Egypt for two months. While he was away, Saucedo received an envelope from the IRS, which revealed a bill for $40,000.
"After I picked myself up off the floor, I had to contact the hubby … by Facebook chat," she says. "Can you imagine going through all the back-and-forth required for that via chat?"
The problem was that Heidi and her husband had not filed a tax return in five years, since money was tight while she stayed home with their two children. "I just didn't understand that we could possibly owe nothing—I thought we would be charged for everything we owned," Saucedo says. "I knew this was foolish, but we were living paycheck to paycheck, and we were too proud to ask for assistance."
Her husband was also working under a 1099—meaning that he wasn't a full-time employee, so he was taxed at the end of the year instead of out of every paycheck. "Apparently, I had 'known' this (my husband says that we discussed it), but to this day, I swear I had no clue," Saucedo says.
After using TurboTax to figure out the tax deductions that hadn't been included in that $40,000 bill (like standard deductions and the child tax credit), it turned out that they didn't owe anything. "At the time, I chose not to go to a professional since the gist of the letter from the IRS was that all we needed to do was file our taxes," Saucedo says. "I was pretty overwhelmed, and I didn't have any money to pay a CPA, so I signed up for TurboTax."
"The good thing was that when I began the search for anything and everything that I could get my hands on to rectify the situation," Saucedo adds, "I realized that I love doing taxes. Never again will there be an unfiled return!"
The $12,000 Marital Mix-Up
In late 2008, Gayle Lynn Falkenthal, APR, received a letter from the IRS informing her that they had not received any of her quarterly estimated tax payments for her independent consultant business—and she was behind by $12,000.
"I was shocked!" says Falkenthal (shown at right). "I checked my bank account and all of the checks had been cashed by the IRS. I informed them, provided copies of the checks and the IRS opened an investigation."
Meanwhile, Falkenthal's ex-husband (which whom she, luckily, remained on good terms) mentioned to her that he'd received a direct deposit from the U.S. Treasury for a little over $10,000, and he couldn't imagine why.
The IRS had credited Falkenthal's payments to her ex-husband's tax obligations under his Social Security number, as opposed to hers. It turns out that this kind of mix-up is pretty common the first year after a taxpayer divorces.
"The wife could be making estimated tax payments in the year subsequent to the divorce using coupons based on the year prior—her married year," says Thomas D. Fisher, CPA LLC. "Those coupons contain both Social Security numbers, and even if she writes her number on the check, the IRS processes the payment with the information shown on the voucher—and always credits the payment to the first Social Security number shown, which is usually the husband's."
To avoid this problem, Fisher suggests double-checking that the 1040ES Estimated Tax Payment Vouchers are made with only your name and Social Security number following a divorce.
"My CPA instructed me on how to compose a letter for my ex-husband and me to jointly sign and send, acknowledging his receipt of the money in error," Falkenthal explains. "Finally, after another six months, the IRS acknowledged the error. My husband sent a check to the IRS for the amount sent to him, which was properly applied to my tax obligation, and then I finally received the stimulus check that the IRS had seized before sorting everything out. It was a measly $200. I spent it on a new pair of boots, just because."
The moral of this story? "It pays to remain friendly with your ex," says Falkenthal.
The Miscounted Dependents
Last year, Jose Vera thought that everything was totally fine when he filed his own taxes online. "I have two dependents, so I figured, 'Okay, I'll just add their social security numbers,' " Vera recalls.
Then the waiting began.
Vera let a full two months pass before he decided to give the tax preparation company a call. "It turns out that I had missed some information for one of the dependents, and they had been trying to email me about it, but they had the wrong address on file," Vera explains.
In the end, he'd made a mistake about the date of birth of one of his dependents, and he ended up only being able to claim one dependent instead of two—which lost him a little over $1,100. "I almost threw my iPad into the ocean [when I found out]," Vera says. "But I figured that I'd already lost enough money for one day."

Sex Advice for Men / Online Dating Home / Opposite Sex Channel
Social networks have come a long way in several years. Friendster got things rolling, and then MySpace and Facebook turbocharged the growth, particularly after expanding the target audience to adults as well.
Now we're seeing tons of niche social networks springing up as well, with a number of them set up as adults-only environments where most rules are thrown out the window. Some try to replicate the feeling of a bar, while others throw out all the rules for a wild party atmosphere.
All of these sites can be useful in the dating scene. Sites like Facebook can be excellent tools for tracking down old flames or flirting with new women you meet. Meanwhile, the adults-only sites make it very easy to meet new women.
Our latest dating content can be found in the Dating category in our new magazine format.
Social Media Dating
This site takes the best of adult dating sites and combines it with the best features of your favorite social media sites. The result is a pretty awesome hookup site where you can meet real women posting pics and starting converations. Of course you have to do some screening, but if you put some effort into this you can find some incredible hookups! Also, you can join for FREE and see all the profiles before giving up your credit card.
Adults-Only Social Networks
Before you virtually hook up with a girl, get her virtually loaded first at fubar, where you can buy women virtual drinks and chat. Fubar has managed to set up an awesome party atmosphere, with virtual drinks and other goodies at your disposal to work the women you find there.
Red Light Center
This wild spot is a virtual world created to meet and "hook up" with other users. It's a "massive multiuser reality" that is gear towards user who love online virtual worlds but are looking for an "adults-only" experience. It will blow your mind.
Alt playground is a site devoted to swingers. It doesn't have a ton of bells and whistles and they don't push you with elaborate tours and join sections.
This site is a free dating site deovoted to the idea that great dates start with great online chat. You can easily set up a profile, upload photos and start meeting women!
General Social Networks
The first thing you need to decide here is how to characterize your relationship status. If you're in a relationship, your lady will be very interested to see what you post. Also, for some people (particularly women), it's a big deal when you change your status. It's also something that gets broadcast to all your friends. Keep this in mind when venturing into this world.
Facebook is a great way to flirt with new women you meet, so keep that in mind when you're exchanging numbers with someone. Also, you can obviously meet new people when browsing the friends of your own friends. Finally, it can also be a great way to track down past flames, particularly out-of-towners who might be primed for a booty call when you visit their city. Happy hunting!
It's a huge site, but it doesn't have many of the tools and controls you'll find on Facebook. It's also public as hell. Be careful here.

The scent, spirit and foliage of the holidays came early to the Crescenta-Cañada Family YMCA this year, with the Nov. 30 opening of the Y's Christmas tree lot. Proceeds from the sales of trees and lawn ornaments will benefit the Y's Youth and Government program as well as other services for youth. Teens are helping out at the lot after school and workers report that sales have been brisk, even though Christmas is still a few weeks away.
The YMCA's Craig Strazzeri said the region is home to a few Clark Griswold types, referring to the Chevy Chase character from "Christmas Vacation" who is eager to lash a too-large tree on top of a too-small car and then stuff it into his living room. He said each year the lot raises between $50,000 and $60,000 for youth programs.
The Y's Cindy Elgin said working on the lot is a good job. "It's fun being here because of the spirit of Christmas. At night it is fun to because the kids are here helping out, and it's all for a good cause."
The lot is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day through Dec. 21.

Of all the dreary, disheartening errands, a trip to Boston City Hall has a special brand of bleakness, right up there with a visit to the Registry of Motor Vehicles or a car inspection.
But now residents will be able to conduct their municipal affairs without trekking to Government Center, due to a mobile outreach program that will bring City Hall to the neighborhoods.
Starting Wednesday, residents can pay parking tickets and tax bills, get a library card and dog license, even register to vote, at a van dubbed "City Hall To Go." A newly refurbished bomb squad van, the vehicle was made to resemble a food truck, but is essentially a rolling office, outfitted with laptop computers, wireless access, and the necessary paperwork from a host of city departments.
City officials say the program is the first of its kind nationally, and they hope it proves a convenient alternative for residents who do not use the Internet or rarely get downtown.
Staff in the mayor's office say the rolling City Hall provides "one-stop shopping, where residents can take care of several tasks at once." Workers can provide information from school registration forms and summer camp guides for parents to tax exemption forms for the elderly.
"It's another way of connecting with the community," said Katharine Lusk, a program organizer who works in Mayor Thomas M. Menino's office.
The van will debut Wednesday morning at City Hall Plaza before taking a promotional tour through the city, stopping at Boston Common, the Boston Public Library, Peters Park in the South End, and Howes Playground in Roxbury. It will also accompany the city's holiday trolley tour this weekend.
The van will be available periodically this winter to drum up awareness, before appearing in earnest next spring. City officials will survey residents to determine the best times and locations and may offer evening and weekend hours as a convenience.
"If you don't work in the city, it's tough to get to City Hall during the week," said Molly Murphy, who works in the mayor's office.
In keeping with the food truck theme, the van offers a menu of services, including parking permits and recycling stickers.
Residents can also report problems in their neighborhood and make suggestions and requests.
Since most of those tasks can be handled online, the van will try to reach residents who are less Internet-savvy or who speak limited English and may need help navigating a process.
The idea for the moving service sprang from meetings in City Hall this summer and was later proposed by several residents as a suggestion for The Mayors Challenge, a national competition designed to spur ideas to improve cities.
Menino, known for his attention to neighborhood concerns and quality-of-life issues, quickly lent his support.
In a statement, Menino said the pilot program will show that "government can change" to become more flexible and convenient.
"City Hall To Go builds on our mission to shake up the status quo in municipal services and offer a new way for Boston residents to get information and engage with the city on a whole host of services we offer," he said.
Once the city decided to create City Hall to Go, officials learned that a Police Department vehicle had just been taken out of commission and was available for the taking. Renovations were completed Monday, just in time for Wednesday's debut.
The van has a bright, eye-catching design that should attract attention, although people may be initially disappointed by the absence of food. Organizers said they are keeping plans flexible so they can quickly adjust to public demand.
"There's no road map," Lusk quipped. "We're learning as we roll."Peter Schworm can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @globepete.

An estimated 5,000 delegates from all over the world have gathered in the historic Indian city of Hyderabad to find solutions to the most pressing issues facing biodiversity conservation.
The 11th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP 11) was officially opened on Monday 8 October by Mr Hoshino Kazuaki, representative of the Ministry of Environment, Japan and Mr Ryu Matsumoto, former Minister of Environment who handed over the presidency to Ms Jayanthi Natarajan, Minister of Environment and Forests, Government of India.
In her opening remarks Ms Natarajan stated the need for all parties to mobilize resources to achieve the 20 Aichi Biodiversity Targets which are part of the strategic plan agreed at COP 10 in Nagoya, Japan in 2010.
"We have been provided a singular opportunity to collectively decide the allocation of resources to generate momentum to achieve the Aichi targets - expenditure on biodiversity needs to be looked at as an investment for future generations and not as costs".
CBD Executive Secretary Mr Braulio Ferreira de Souza stressed the need to put energy and resources into implementing the Aichi targets. He drew on the links between the global business sector and the Aichi targets:
"I urge you to mobilize the financial resources to enable developing countries to achieve the 2020 targets," he said. He also called for the implementation of at least half of the targets by 2015 if significant progress were to be achieved by the end of the decade.
Speaking at a side event on IUCN's contribution to the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, Jane Smart, Director of IUCN's Biodiversity Conservation Group remarked that the IUCN knowledge products support the implementation of the 2020 Aichi biodiversity targets which underpins the entire IUCN work programme for 2013-2016.
The conference runs from 8 - 19 October.

FERRISBURGH — Ferrisburgh selectmen on Wednesday opted not to sign a $2.75 million contract with Breadloaf Corp. to put up a duplicate Grange building with an addition, but on Thursday selectboard chairwoman Loretta Lawrence said the board could do so at a scheduled Tuesday meeting.
Lawrence said selectmen made no official decision last week to proceed with the Route 7 project, which would provide new town offices and a community meeting space, because of undisclosed issues with the contract.
But Lawrence said selectmen also told town attorney James Carroll to work with the Middlebury construction firm to resolve those issues, although an Aug. 31 deadline that guaranteed Breadloaf's $2.75 million bid has been missed.
"The signing of the contract has been delayed. The board continues to move forward with Breadloaf," Lawrence said. "Despite the Aug. 31 deadline, the board and the town attorney and Breadloaf are still working through some issues."

BRISTOL — Homelessness and disenfranchisement are recurring themes in the folk tunes of Anaïs Mitchell, a Weybridge native whose star is seeing a steady rise on the national music scene.
So it should come as no surprise that Mitchell would showcase her considerable talents for a special concert that will benefit the John Graham Emergency Shelter, based in Vergennes. Mitchell's concert will take place on Friday, Sept. 7, at 8 p.m., in Bristol's Holley Hall.
"I'm so excited to do it," Mitchell, 26, said of the benefit concert. "It's the least I can do."
Indeed, a passion for social causes is not the only reason Mitchell has for doing the concert.
Her grandmother, Lorraine Warfield, is past chairwoman of the John Graham Emergency Shelter board. Her mom, Cheryl Mitchell, has been a longtime leader in human services at the state level (former deputy secretary of the Vermont Agency of Human Services) and at the local level (past director of the Parent-Child Center of Addison County).

The lightning made the 49ers sit and wait for an hour.
But the force of nature that cost them a game was Marshawn Lynch.
The Seahawks running back had 135 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns, leading the Seahawks to a 29-3 win over the 49ers.
It was a performance that was little short of amazing, especially considering the Seahawks played more than a half without Pro Bowl left tackle Russell Okung (turf toe).
Lynch showed the familiar power style, but also the ability to adjust quickly and make plays as a receiver as well. And while running the ball isn't fashionable, the way Lynch pounded the 49ers defense became a philosophical as well as physical statement. As the game wore on, and he wore on the 49ers defense, and his own defensive teammates started popping a little harder.
Last week, he was bottled up on the road against the Panthers, with 43 yards on 17 carries. But against a more accomplished defense, on a bigger stage, he was that much better.
And for a night, at least, the same was true of the Seahawks.
Here are five more things we learned during Sunday Night Football:
1. For a guy who has been harping about hits on quarterbacks in the read option, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh doesn't mind it when his guys are doing the hitting.
In the second quarter, 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks unloaded on Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, while Wilson was still in the handing-off posture.
Harbaugh's just trying to protect Colin Kaepernick by doing a little agenda-setting, at the risk of being a hypocrite.
But the hits these quarterbacks are taking will be a cumulative issue, hurting more as the season progresses.
2. Speaking of those young quarterbacks: At halftime, Kaepernick and Wilson had combined to complete eight passes for 94 yards, and each had thrown an interception.
Kaepernick's 21.7 rating looked bad, but next to Wilson's 7.5 in the first half, it looked positively sharp.
There's a temptation in the media to ordain the newest shiny thing we see the greatest thing ever.
But the hyperbole heaped upon the young passers in this league can be stifling, and it's worth remembering how young these two are (it was Kaepernick's ninth regular season start, Wilson's 18th), and how early in their development as passers they actually are.
3. Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett didn't get much attention this offseason, but could prove to be a huge addition as the season progresses.
The Buccaneers didn't make much if any effort to keep him after a 9.0-sack season last year, and the Seahawks also brought in former Lions pass-rusher Cliff Avril, making Bennett easy to overlook.
But Bennett has a versatility to rush from inside, and when the Seahawks are fully staffed (with Chris Clemons healthy and Bruce Irvin off suspension), they will be able to put plenty of speed on the line on passing downs.
4. It was easy to make fun of the Ravens a week ago, when Anquan Boldin was catching everything in sight.
This week, he looked a little less worth that $6 million the 49ers are paying him, after acquiring him in a salary dump/trade.
The Seahawks were able to keep the veteran receiver from being a factor, and that's going to happen with a guy about to turn 33.
But on a night when Kaepernick was struggling to find anything, he didn't find Boldin until the game was more than 50 minutes old.
5. As dominant as the Seahawks looked Sunday night/Monday morning, they could get better.
Remember, they're playing without cornerback Brandon Browner and wide receiver Percy Harvin, two guys who could possibly make a bit of a difference down the road.
You get the sense they'd be all right without them next week against the Jaguars.

In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Gog& Magog in Quran
The Quran refers to Gog & Magog twice, in 18:94 & 21:96. It is a great blessing upon us that we have some additional information about Gog & Magog through Dr. Rashad Khalifa, God's Messenger of the Covenant.
Below are the relevant verses for this topic taken from Dr. Khalifa's English translation of Quran.
[18:93] When he reached the valley between two palisades, he found people whose language was barely understandable.
[18:94] They said, "O Zul-Qarnain, Gog and Magog are corruptors of the earth. Can we pay you to create a barrier between us and them?"
[18:95] He said, "My Lord has given me great bounties. If you cooperate with me, I will build a dam between you and them.
[18:96] "Bring to me masses of iron." Once he filled the gap between the two palisades, he said, "Blow." Once it was red hot, he said, "Help me pour tar on top of it."
[18:97] Thus, they could not climb it, nor could they bore holes in it.
[18:98] He said, "This is mercy from my Lord. When the prophecy of my Lord comes to pass, He will cause the dam to crumble. The prophecy of my Lord is truth."
[18:99] At that time, we will let them invade with one another, then the horn will be blown, and we will summon them all together. One of my duties as God's Messenger of the Covenant is to state that Gog and Magog, the final sign before the end of the world, will reappear in 2270 AD (1700 AH), just 10 years before the end. Note that Gog and Magog occur in Suras 18 and 21, precisely 17 verses before the end of each sura, representing 17 lunar centuries (see 72:27 and Appendix 25).
[21:95] It is forbidden for any community we had annihilated to return.
[21:96] Not until Gog and Magog reappear, will they then return - they will come from every direction.
[21:97] That is when the inevitable prophecy will come to pass, and the disbelievers will stare in horror: "Woe to us; we have been oblivious. Indeed, we have been wicked." By the year 2270 AD, thanks to God's mathematical miracle in the Quran (Appendix 1), America will be the heart of Islam, and billions around the globe will have believed in the Quran (9:33, 41:53, 48:28, 61:9). Gog and Magog (allegorical names of villainous communities), will be the only bastions of heathenism, and they will attack the submitters. That is when the world will end (15:87, 18:94, Appendix 25). Gog and Magog are mentioned in 18:94 & 21:96, 17 verses before the end of each sura; this may indicate the time of their appearance.

This summer, my kitchen has been fragrant with basil. For one, my own plants are doing better than they've done in previous years in my kitchen garden, but my neighbor Heather has also been giving me bagfuls of this spicy-sweet herb.
I usually use it as a garnish for curries, in Thai dishes or in pesto, of course, but this week, with some freshly picked basil in hand, I decided to revisit one of my favorite flavoring finds from French cuisine. Pistou.
The most basic version of Pistou, which I love, incorporates just three ingredients. Basil, tomatoes and olive oil. And although it sounds too minimalist, the flavor explosion these three ingredients create together is beyond description. I've seen variations that use parmesan or garlic or pine nuts, or all three, but that would just make the pistou too much like its Italian cousin, the gorgeous Pesto. And that wouldn't be fair, because the Pistou is a star in its own right.
Pistou is traditionally stirred into soups, but it also makes a great sauce for pasta, which is how I most often use it. For a tight night this week, I used it to jazz up a pot of bulghur, or cracked wheat.
I was craving some bhujias and had a lovely cauliflower sitting in my refrigerator, but deep-frying food is not something I often do. I thought I'd try this instead: make a bhujia batter, dip the cauliflower florets in it, and then bake them instead of frying them.
It worked very well, I'm happy to say, and although I'll admit that bhujias are crunchier when fried, these had a lovely, slight crunch to them and an amazing flavor. The cauliflower inside was cooked to melt-in-the-mouth consistency. And I could eat most of it without feeling guilty because hey, I was just eating my veggies.
My Bulghur Pilaf with Basil Pistou recipe goes out to Dee of Ammalu's Kitchen for the Herb Mania: Basil event.
Bulghur Pilaf with Basil Pistou
- Make the bulgur pilaf:
- Place the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When the water comes to a boil, cover the pan and let the bulghur cook on low heat around 15 minutes. Bulghur cooked this way has a softer, fluffier consistency. If you'd like it to be chewier, turn off the heat right after the water comes to a boil and let the bulghur soak for about 15 minutes.
- Make the basil pistou:
- Place the basil leaves and tomato in a food processor and with the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil. The pistou will have a pretty runny consistency.
- To put together the pilaf, fluff the bulghur with a fork and then gently stir in as much pistou as you need to get your flavor kick. I used about 1/2 cup and then drizzled some on top after serving because I cannot have enough of its vibrant flavors!
Baked Cauliflower Bhujias
- 1 small head cauliflower , sear
- 1/3 cup of chickpea flour (besan)
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds or jeera , coarsely powdered
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric (optional)
- 1 tbsp canola oil (or any vegetable oil)
- Salt to taste.
- Mix together all ingredients other than the cauliflower florets.
- Add water and beat with a fork or a small whisk. The batter should by fairly thick, like pancake batter, but not lumpy.
- Spray a baking sheet lightly with oil.
- Dip the cauliflower florets one by one into the batter, shake off excess batter, and place them on the baking sheet.
- Bake in a 375-degree oven about 20-25 minutes until the cauliflower feels tender when pierced with a fork. The outer crust should be lightly golden (note the bhujia will NOT look as golden-brown as when it's deep-fried)
- Enjoy hot!

Data handling and security
If you handle data, you must make sure that you comply with our departmental security procedures. There are different schedules you must follow based on the amount of data you manage:
The basic schedule applies where the department needs to share data with the supplier. The enhanced schedule is for suppliers handling particularly sensitive data. We will tell you which schedule you need to follow when we invite tenders.
Standard terms and conditions for DfE contracts
If you would like to know which terms and conditions apply when bidding for a particular DfE contract, contact the person named in the advertisement and tender documentation.
Due to the complexity of many of our requirements, we compile contract terms and conditions on a case-by-case basis. However, we base most on the following standard terms and conditions:
Purchase orders
Our purchase orders (documents that ask a company to supply goods and give details of price, method and date of payment) are subject to our.
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs)
We're committed to engaging with SMEs and always treat their tenders and applications fairly in comparison to larger organisations. We'll continue to encourage and support all collaborative partnerships between SMEs or SMEs and larger organisations.
We also run innovation days where suppliers can meet each other and showcase what they offer. We advertise these on LinkedIn and Twitter.
SMEs can contact the SME mailbox.
SME mailbox
EU and UK procurement law
We must follow EU Treaty, EU Procurement Directive (EU rules) and UK laws that govern how we may buy goods, services and works over a specified value or 'threshold'.
Where we expect the estimated value of a contract to be over the relevant EU threshold, we must advertise our requirements on the Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) website, part of the Official Journal of the European Union.
The current thresholds are published by the Cabinet Office.
How we process your personal data
We are changing the way we process your personal data relating to financial transactions when we interact with you. Our services provider Shared Services Connected Limited (SSCL) may process some of this data offshore. For more information see Personal data processing: fair processing notice.

If you had the experience to build this yourself with confidence, then it is not a question. And if you do not, then why the uncertainty? You will NEED the support. Or am I missing a vital part of your question? BTW, those prices are WAY too high. Further, there is a very strong case now for a purely software RAID. Still use the RAID controllers as disk interface controllers, such as LSI or AMCC (Was 3Ware). But use a commodity dual CPU motherboard as the "RAID controller" under mdadm. LOTS of people are doing that very successfully, and it is both economical and generally higher performance than pure RAID controllers under RAID5 or 6. With our best regards, Maurice W.

flac123 is a command line tool for playing audio files stored in
the lossless FLAC format. It fills a gap in the existing FLAC tools
which provide a standalone tool to encode and decode files, a tool
to manipulate metadata but no command line tool for playback.
Since it uses libao for audio output, it can output to ALSA and Pulse,

AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher on 6T8 tripod, right side
AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher on 6T8 tripod, left side
AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher, close-up view
AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher
Development of the AGS-17 (Avtomatischeskyi Granatmyot Stankovyi - Automatic Grenade launcher, Mounted)has been started USSR during in 1967 by the OKB-16 design bureau (now it is famous KBP- Instrument Design Bureau, located in the city of Tula). Most probably, its development was inspired by the Soviet-Chinese border clashes of late 1960s, as well as initial experience with several US automatic grenade launchers, learned from North Vietnamese troops who often were on receiving end of these formidable weapons.It was through that the automatic grenade launcher is one of the most effective infantry support weapons against typical Chinese "human wave" attacks. This lightweight weapon was to provide infantry with close to medium range fire support against enemy personnel and unarmored targets like trucks and other such equipment. First prototypes of new weapon entered trials in 1969, and mass production commenced in 1971. At the same time frame, the special heliborne version AG-17 was developed for installation on Mi-24 Hind gunship helicopters. Never used against Chinese, AGS-17 was widely used by Soviet troops in Afghanistan as aground support weapon or as a vehicle weapon on improvised mounts installed on armored personnel carriers and trucks. It is still in use with Russian army as a direct fire support weapon for infantry troops; it is also installed in several vehicle mounts and turrets along with machine guns, guided rocket launchers and sighting equipment. A special airborne version AG-17A was installed in door mounts of several Mi-8 Hip combat transport helicopters, and on gun pods used on late model Mi-24 Hind gunships; this weapon had thick aluminium jacket on the barrel and used a special mount and electric remotely controlled trigger.AGS-17 may look inferior ballistically to its major rival, American Mk.19mod.3 grenade launcher, as it has somewhat lighter grenade with smaller muzzle velocity and slightly shorter range; the selection of available ammunition is also much less versatile as the only mass-made 30mm rounds for AGS-17are VOG-17 and improved VOG-30, fragmentation antipersonnel grenades with lethal damage/kill zone radius of about 7-9 meters. However, in ready to fire position AGS-17is almost two times lighter than Mk.19 mod.3 and thus can be easily moved and maneuvered across the battlefield by the crew of two men.AGS-17 is manufactured in Russia by the Molot Engineering Plant JSC, as well asin China by state factories and in Serbia (former Yugoslavia).
AGS-17 is aircooled, belt fed, blowback operated grenade machine gun/launcher. AGS-17 firesfrom open bolt and uses non-disintegrating steel belts with open pockets. Upon the closing movement of the bolt, fresh round is pushed forward into the barrel from its loading position; empty cases are ejected to the bottom. AGS-17 is fed from special belt drums that hold 29 linked rounds. Loaded belt drum weights about 14kg (31 lbs). To reduce rate of fire and decrease dispersion, bolt of AGS-17 is fitted with hydraulic recoil buffer. In its infantry applications, gun is controlled by two horizontal spade grips with the trigger between them. T-shaped charging handle is located at the rear of the receiver and is linked to the bolt by the steel cable and special carrier; handle does not move when gun is fired.Standard sight is 2.7X magnification PAG-17 optical; it has a range-finding reticule,and top cover of each gun has a ballistic table for both direct and indirect fire. Standard mount is SAG-17 (official designation 6T8); it is a tripod with adjustable height and traverse and elevation mechanisms, including fine adjustment elements. For transportation and carry tripod can be folded and carried as a backpack using supplied slings. The AGS-17 gun also can be carried in a special backpack; this allows the complete weapon to be transported "on foot" by the crew of two men. Assembled weapon also can be carried trough battlefield for shorter ranges.

Another weeknight dinner from Appetite for Reduction! I've been trying to make dishes from this book that I haven't already made in the past. You know how it is... you have a few of your favorite recipes and it's so easy to just go back to those ones. But then, where is the discovery in life?! I love trying out new recipes, even if it does lead to an occasional dud.
Well, lucky for us, this was no dud! This is the Caribbean Black Eyed Peas with Plantains. As you know, I've been seriously grooving on all the bell peppers and hot peppers and who-knows-what peppers at the farmers market lately - so I've been having fun trying to pick out lots of dishes with peppers and take advantage of them while they're here. On the other hand, plantains aren't exactly grown around here - so I almost never cook with them. This was a special treat!
We both really enjoyed this dish - I loved the light coconutty flavor together with the spices. It felt like a light meal, but it was super filling. The only thing I'd do differently is reduce the plantain. The recipe called for 2 plantains, but we both ended up tossing some, and there was still more in the pot. Maybe just one next time. I'll definitely look forward to making this again... on a night when I'm feeling less adventurous and am looking for an old favorite. :) It does happen!
