Five Questions: Gillis talks Bure, life as agent, GMby Dan Rosen
NHL.com will periodically be doing a series called "Five Questions With …," a Q&A with some of the key movers and shakers in the game today aimed to gain some insight into their lives and careers.
This edition features Vancouver Canucks general manager Mike Gillis:
Instead of going to Toronto for the Hockey Hall of Fame celebration Monday night, Mike Gillis will be in Trinidad watching his daughter, Kate, play for the Canadian national women's field hockey team.
It's a trip any father wouldn't miss provided he could afford to get there, so there's no way anybody can argue with Gillis for choosing to go along for the ride with his athletic daughter.
McLellan reflects on coaching startBy Dan Rosen - NHL.com Senior Writer
As part of NHL.com's series called "Five Questions With …," a Q&A with some of the key movers and shakers in the game today, Sharks coach Todd McLellan reflects on his long path to get behind the bench of an NHL team. READ MORE ›
However, Gillis knows better than most how important this Hall of Fame weekend and the inductions Monday night are to at least one of the inductees.
In Gillis' former life as a player agent, Pavel Bure was one of his most high-profile clients.
Gillis represented Bure from 1997 through the end of his injury-shortened career. He helped Bure through the ups and downs of a 51-goal season in Vancouver, a holdout that led to his trade to the Florida Panthers and the knee injuries that derailed his career once he got to the New York Rangers.
Bure finished with 437 goals and 779 points in 702 career NHL games.
"My thoughts about him going into the Hall are he absolutely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame," Gillis told NHL.com. "I thought he was probably the most exciting, best goal scorer in the years he played in the NHL. He's a terrific guy, was a great client and he was a pleasure to work with. We had a lot of fun together."
Now Gillis is four years into his new life as the general manager in Vancouver -- and he is having just as much fun as he used to have as an agent.
Gillis put together training tactics that helped the Canucks have the best road record in the Western Conference last season. He's kept a core of stars in tact by signing several to long-term, lucrative contracts. The Canucks reached Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final in 2011 only to lose at home to the Boston Bruins. They've won the Presidents' Trophy in each of the past two seasons.
Read on for some of Gillis' thoughts on Bure, his transition from agent to GM and his future.
Here are Five Questions With… Mike Gillis:
With Pavel Bure going into the Hall of Fame, are the Canucks planning to honor him in anyway, be it a jersey retirement or something else?
"I can't reveal anything, but there are three jerseys that are in the rafters at Rogers Arena and there is a committee that we have that is completely independent of the team that makes the decisions about that and the Ring of Honor. There is obviously plenty of discussion about Pavel and how to effectively honor him within that context. It's ongoing. I can't reveal anything more on that, but he deserves to be honored in some form. It's just a question of what and that will be left up to the committee."
When you left being an agent to become a GM, what was the most difficult challenge you faced in leaving one field to go to the other?
"It was a difficult decision all around. I had really good clients, guys that I was friends with for a long time and represented for a long time that I had to leave and assist them in getting representation from others. I think that was the most difficult thing. I represented Markus Naslund for a long time and went into a situation in Vancouver when he was contemplating the end of his career and there were some very difficult decisions that had to be made on both sides. I found that very challenging."
When negotiating a deal now, as a former agent accustomed to what the other side thinks and does, do you have an advantage or simply just a way of understanding the other side that is different than most?
"Yeah, I think we have an opportunity to look at things a little differently. The way I've set up the organization is one that allows us to capitalize on my experience as an agent to understand what the player is trying to get to and why they're trying to get there. It also allows me the opportunity to realize that if a player is in Vancouver for the wrong reasons we can make that evaluation and adjust accordingly, but if the player is there for all the right reasons we have the chance to reward him and make sure that he's well taken care of. It gives a little bit of a different perspective, which is helpful."
You've put a lot of things in place, various techniques for players with psychologists, therapists, diets, etc., but the thing that jumps out at me is the sleep doctors/experts that you use. Can you explain the philosophy on why you chose to use them and how it all came about, because now it seems like it is getting some traction around the League too?
"The way I've set up the organization is one that allows us to capitalize on my experience as an agent to understand what the player is trying to get to and why they're trying to get there. It also allows me the opportunity to realize that if a player is in Vancouver for the wrong reasons we can make that evaluation and adjust accordingly, but if the player is there for all the right reasons we have the chance to reward him and make sure that he's well taken care of. It gives a little bit of a different perspective, which is helpful."
-- Canucks GM Mike Gillis
"When I took this job we did a real thorough review of everything -- travel, the geography, how we traveled, how to get players rested. We looked at the number of man-games lost and we put together a plan. Sleep therapy and analysis is just one element of the plan that would try and keep our players as fresh as possible and reduce our man-games lost to injuries and hopefully prolong their careers. We've taken a number of steps further in that direction in a number of different areas. I'm not going to go into detail because I think it does give us a competitive advantage and allows us to level the playing field a little bit because of the travel, but I'm firmly convinced that as an organization we can be leaders in human performance as long as we have players that are amenable and want to get better all the time.
"We have a unique opportunity because our owners are completely supportive both financially and emotionally in these kinds of initiatives, so we're very fortunate. We have owners prepared to support it, players prepared to support it and we're actively out there developing personnel for the team that will carry through.
"It's a lot of fun for me. I've thought about it a lot over the years and I think we have an opportunity to really do some strong and aggressive things with respect to human performance that maybe haven't been thought of yet. The players bought into it and we've had the best road record in the National Hockey League in the last year. They are seeing results and when they get results they're happy. They fall into line pretty quickly when you can show them it's effective."
Of course, lockout or no lockout, fans want to know about your unique goaltending situation. How do you view what is in front of you -- is it an opportunity for the organization or strictly business?
"Well, I look at it in multiple ways. I really like Roberto [Luongo]. I like him as a person. I like him as a goaltender. He's a phenomenal guy, a phenomenally hard-working player, zero maintenance. He is the kind of guy that any team would like to have. If we're going to make a transaction, do anything, it's going to be done so we can improve our team in other ways.
"When you take an All-Star player off your team, you have to do that with a lot of faith that you're improving in different areas. And, you know, I don't see that big of an issue if Roberto is with us. I don't see that as an issue at all. I think he's a true professional and I know he and Cory [Schneider] have a great relationship. You know, that may end up being the plan depending on when we get started. I think they would both be fine with it. We're going to do what is best for our hockey team. We're going to make sure we're in the best position to win the Stanley Cup and that may be with both goaltenders."

Looking for someone who wants me...
I would love to have 3 pits.. was gonna rescue one... shes a brindle staffy maybe 2 years old or so and she always goes to my friends house cause her owners dont like her and let her off the leash to run free.. in the country.. but she always goes right to her front door. She looks beautiful, healty, pure.. and she (my friend) always goes out of her way to bring her home and they said they didnt even want her so if she could find her a home or even keep her that would be great..
What a joke! before that I even joked this is my new dog and ok i'm taking off with her etc. She recently got sprayed by a skunk so they left her out side in this cold weather in the rain... she was screaming all night.. I so want her but come to realize I cant handle two pups and an adult... let me know if near syracuse area and interested.. I dont have pictures but could take some if seriously interested..
She looks just like this pup I found on google.. I think she has more brindle on chest though.. I could be wrong... I also think her ears are a little shorter.. and a little closser in (just a tad).. All guessing using best judgment.
No injury or docked / cropped..
I Even heard she gets beat by the dogs owners GF not sure if true but dog did have a mark on her last time I seen her.. I dont know who could be careless of such a pretty and nice pup! very friendly.
Ever think about rescuing a pit and it being at his last forever home? Right now the pup sits on my friends porch on a blanket laid out for her.. my dogs keep her company when I come around. I can litterly throw in her my car and bring her to a forever home.. owners even insisted... I dont want to call animal controll unless I must because she will be killed in a shelter im sure.. I would rather take her in than that.

FYI, the dog in the picture is Mr. Jiggs and he's probably got a bit of cattle dog in him. I know him IRL.

Okay, basically Tracht means 'traditional German costume', thus it applies to both Dirndl and Lederhosen.
And now I shall present the Knitters Uncensored in their own Tracht!
Elemm in Lederhosen (at the Kocherlball in 2006):
And Cashyie's Dirndl:
EDIT: After many requests, here's another photo of Cashyie in her Dirndl:
and Ms. B with her whole family:
Tell us what you think! (I'll be going to the Kocherlball this year with Cashyie! Anybody else wanna join? 6 a.m. on Sunday 15th July 2007 at the Chinese Tower in the Munich English Garden!)

Ooh, can we also have a full-body shot of Cayshie in the dirndl? The cleavage is lovely, but after her description of the dirndl on the last episode, I also want to see the whole thing in its pink-and-black gloriousness.

You're all hot! Why must you reveal the beauty of Trachten-mode when I'm almost out of money and about to move back to a non-Trach home?
p.s: ditto what anonymous said...

I am not build for dirndl's, but I still love the look!

Very nice!
I agree that just clevage is hardly fair to Cayshie or the dirndl!
Now if only I could find an excuse to wear such a thing....

Hi, will do my best to get a full dirndl shot - though im taking the photo on my imac/lighting in my apartment is lame/elem. takes forever to do full body photoshoping (i look nothing like either of my pictures-i am a research scientist who spends 10 hrs a day in a lab, and two more on the train knitting.....but ive never had photos turn out well before and so felt the need to post them....)
As for the the "not built for a dirndl" comment - i am a b cup - german clothing engi-nerds are brilliant.
With regards to the "non-Trach home" and "no excuse to wear a dirndl"- one word - Halloween!!! - this little holiday is how i plan on justifying buying more than one dirndl...
- June 25, 2007 at 8:05 PM
Ihr seht alle toll aus! :)
You all look so great. Besides, neither me nor my boyfriend have a Tracht. I don't want to wear it and my boy also, so we got to Oktoberfest in Jeans ;)
But I agree to anonymous request!

What great pictures. I wish I could be there. Elemm, I'd be sort of surprised if you made it down the street looking like that. It's a great look. Of course you ladies look great, too. We don't have all that here. Traditional Dutch dress is boots and an attitude. (Don't quote me on that. I have to live here.)

Anglers will get a chance later this month to fish for free.
The state Department of Natural Resources plans to offer its first free fishing winter weekend on Jan. 19 and Jan. 20.
State residents and non-residents won't need any licenses or trout stamps to fish on inland waters or on Wisconsin's side of the Great Lakes and Mississippi River.
The state has offered a free fishing weekend on the first weekend in June for years. Legislators passed a law last year creating the winter weekend in an effort to boost participation in outdoor recreation.

Silky pants with paisley print
Added May 25, 2013

Vienna, Austria
Silky pants with paisley print from Etro fabric. Very easy to do it only one note. You need a lot of time to think about it how to cut the fabric to achieve the right effect. I was walking around the fabric for at least 2-3 hours unless I took the scissors in the hand. :-)

I used an elastic, a gum simply, because the fabric itself was allready with elastan. There was no other option in my opinion . Working now on something similar, using the same pattern, once again silk fabric, but this time uni black colour with leather side stripes.
Jun 3, 2013, 03.23 AMby rkyler
These pants are beautiful. The cut is amazing. It is tricky to get the pattern to match on both sides.
I am planning to make a pair of silk pants, but I'm still searching for the perfect pattern. I have one question – what type of waist closure did you use? (zipper fly, invisible side zipper, elastic, drawstring…?)

Nice print

1976 Ford F-250 - Blue Ford HeavenPosted in Project Vehicles on July 1, 2007
More often than not we dump thousands into our rigs constantly riding that fine line of how much is too much to put into something that we plan to abuse. Greg Roulson was able to tackle that problem with a little ingenuity and willingness to make the best vehicle out of a truck that he had always wanted. Built for the endless notches of Truckhaven in Southern California, he concentrated on keeping the sheetmetal to a minimum while maintaining the lowest center of gravity possible.
Straight from the factory with a Dana 60 rear and 44 front axle, the '76 F-250 provided Greg with one of the bestselling features of older trucks: solid axles. We always enjoy seeing homebuilt rigs like this on the trail. They're a testament to how you can easily take a stock vehicle more than three decades old and, with a little bit of time and money, turn it into a low-budget wheeler that will leave you smiling all the way to the bank.
Year/Make/Model: '76 Ford F-250
Engine: Original 390ci V-8
Transmission: Factory four-speed
Transfer Case: NP205
Front Axle: Dana 44, factory hydraulic assist, Yukon axleshafts, 4.88 gears, Detroit Locker
Rear Axle: Dana 60, 4.88 gears, Detroit Locker
Suspension: 2-inch Skyjacker kit
Tires & Wheels: 37x14.50 Super Swamper IROKs on 16x10 Pro Comp 1069 Alloys

Established automakers often spend more than $1 billion just to build a new factory to produce a car that's already designed. No wonder starting a new car company is such a mammoth undertaking, and why so many have scoffed at auto startups like Tesla.
The fledging car company founded by Elon Musk of PayPal and SpaceX delivered the first Tesla Model S all-electric sedans, which start from $57,400, to customers last week. Its employees celebrated the milestone at the Tesla factory that makes the car—a factory that also shows now Musk managed to get around some of the huge hurdles of starting a car company from scratch.
The Tesla factory fronts the 880 Freeway in Fremont on the east side of the San Francisco Bay. Instead of building a brand-new factory, Tesla purchased the old Nummi factory that had been producing GM and Toyota vehicles since 1984 before closing in 2010. Tesla paid only $42 million for the plant, which sits on 380 acres and was originally constructed in 1962.
Apart from new signage, the 5.4 million-square-foot plant does not look much different externally. Currently Tesla is making only one Model S each day as it ramps up production, to make sure every procedure is in order. It plans to be producing 80 cars a day by the end of the year, during an 8-hour shift with 1200 to 1500 employees at work. However, compared with a grimy factory spitting out up to 500,000 cars per year, the repainted, refurbished Tesla factory, with its clean floor covered in white epoxy paint and flexible layout, has quite a different air to it.
We got to visit the plant during the celebration last week. Take a look inside.

Penguin? eeeeeee!
Congrats on the deadline.
We'll be in Switzerland for about two weeks, July 1st through 14th...except for whatever time we spend in Vienna, Budapest and Paris. I'm super psyched. Does Eurocup happen in Switzerland? I wish I'd known that. I'll keep an eye out for you :)

The original Arundel Square was never completed. After three sides were finished over 150 years ago the Victorian developer ran out of money and the North London Line was constructed in a cutting on the south side of the central gardens, destroying the symmetry of the square and depressing its surroundings. The architects' radical idea was to deck over the railway cutting in order to create an extra acre of land on which to complete the Victorian square.
In 1993 Bill Thomas of Pollard Thomas Edwards architects bought a small site along the side of the North London Line. He then embarked on a patient and painstaking urban development initiative, acquiring the adjacent railway embankments and negotiating with the railway companies and a legion of other interested parties to obtain air rights. Construction finally started in 2006, when the project was taken over by United House Developments, and the scheme was completed in 2010.
The biggest challenge was the engineering: the railway cutting was decked over with 76 seven-foot deep steel joists covered by a concrete slab which spans 85 feet onto reinforced concrete retaining abutments. On the resulting acre of land which we have created we have completed Arundel Square with a contemporary six-storey mixed tenure apartment building with 146 new homes overlooking the central garden, which the architects have also doubled in size.
The design of the building is based on the scale and intricacy of the existing Victorian buildings which surround Arundel Square: a framework of limestone is suspended in front of a largely glazed façade with projecting balconies – the limestone façade is designed to reflect the stucco of the existing houses. Arundel Square shows how bold engineering and sensitive design can dramatically enhance the urban environment, and also demonstrates how to create a modern building within an existing historic context.

Family, friends and a host of elected officials celebrated the life of East Baltimore Del. Hattie N. Harrison at the West Baltimore United House of Prayer for All People, in a ceremony borne on the spirited rasps of trombones and rhythmic clattering of tambourines.
"Today there's a lot of powerful emotion in this place," said Gov. Martin O'Malley. "There's also a lot of powerful music."
The funeral service struck a joyful tone as politicians from Baltimore and elsewhere in Maryland remembered the delegate who had represented her community since August 1973, making her the longest-serving African-American female legislator in the United States.
Harrison, 84, died of complications from heart disease at the Johns Hopkins Hospital on Jan. 28. The funeral was held just two days before what would have been her 85th birthday.
"Today we come not to mourn at all, but to celebrate," said Baltimore Councilman Carl Stokes, "not to weep, but to cheer."
Harrison, who was the first African-American woman to serve as chair of a major General Assembly committee, lay in a casket draped with the state flag, and the Maryland State Police presented the colors at the opening of the three-and-a-half-hour service.
Known for her ability to get things done, Md. House Speaker Michael E. Busch said, Harrison kept the boys in line, while Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said she lit the way for other female politicians.
"She was a woman in charge, make no mistake about it," Busch said.
He recalled receiving anxious calls one lunchtime from then-Gov. Parris N. Glendening, who was worried about a piece of legislation. The calls kept coming until Busch mentioned that he was dining with Harrison, at which point they stopped, and the governor sent a message apologizing for interrupting.
Baltimore City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young also described running up against Harrison when he was a newly-elected councilman, full of ideas and determined to tackle problems head-on. Harrison — famous for her home cooking — called Young over for dinner, which, he said, he took as a good sign.
She told him squarely that anything he wanted to do in East Baltimore would have to go through her first.
But if Harrison was a force to be reckoned with, colleagues also described her as big-hearted and a fighter for her community.
"She was a role model without ego, without ceremony," Rawlings-Blake said. "She had the strength you can only have fighting for right."
Harrison kept up her work even as she became ill later in life, and Busch said her death will leave a big role to fill in Annapolis.
"Someone will come there and sit in her seat, but no one will ever take her place," Busch said.
Starting his eulogy, the Rev. C.M. Gibbs of the East Baltimore United House of Prayer joked to O'Malley that he might be the person to try.
"Maybe her pastor could be appointed to her seat to keep her spirit alive," he said, to howls of laughter.
In a rousing address, Gibbs worked up to the theme that had dominated the ceremony — Harrison's life of service — and drew on the words of the hymn "If I Can Help Somebody" which Gretchen Starks belted out.
"Rest well, my friend, for the battle is over," O'Malley said. "Your life was not in vain."

While nothing that will knock your socks off with surprises, the Deadeye is a solid and useful design which will appear to certain types of player. The Deadeye vastly expands the viability of the archer or gunslinger. Several black powder weapon feats are included.
Crafty has really oudone themselves with the Call to Arms supplements. I have not encountered a new class that I do not like.
It is really stunning how flexible this system is. A great version of a sniper. It also includes a new feat chain for blackpowder weapons.
Very good product!

Truly special players come along only once in a while. Havelock boys basketball coach Bill Fryczynski feels he has that in sophomore Kyran Bowman.
Truly special players come along only once in a while. Havelock boys basketball coach Bill Fryczynski feels he has that in sophomore Kyran Bowman.
�I�ve been doing this for a long time, 45 years to be exact, and I think he is the most talented player I�ve ever coached,� Fryczynski said.
Bowman, a 6-foot-2 guard, is scoring at 20.6 points per game. He�s received some interest from East Carolina already, but does not yet hold any scholarship offers. He said his main goal is to change that this season.
�In addition to our team playing well, I definitely want to have a Division I basketball offer by the end of the year,� Bowman said. �Leading the area in scoring feels great. I come out every day and work hard and keep striving for success.�
Bowman also stars as a wide receiver on the school�s state championship football team, and has a football offer from North Carolina.
On the hardwood, Fryczynski likes to use his star in an up-tempo offense that usually leads to breakaway dunks.
�He is what Dick Vitale always calls a �lead guard,�� Fryczynski said. �He�s not a point guard, and not a two-guard, but like a combination of the two positions.�
In addition to scoring, Bowman is often the leader in rebounds and assists at game�s end for the Rams.
With Bowman having very high goals, Fryczynski sees no reason why he can�t reach them.
�He is a very coachable kid, a good kid, solid student and a gentleman,� he said. �As a sophomore now, if he keeps improving, there�s no reason why he can�t have a D-I future.�
Havelock is an undefeated, 7-0, since Bowman and the rest of the football players joined the basketball team after the Dec. 14 state championship game. The Rams take on border rival West Carteret for first place in the Coastal 3A Conference tonight.
Havelock defeated the Patriots in double overtime in a non-conference tournament game in December.
�It�s going to be a tough game for sure,� Bowman said. �We have to keep working on our defense, box out and get out to their 3-point shooters to win.�

SALEM (AP) — The push for a new Interstate 5 bridge over the Columbia River is headed toward a collision course in the Oregon Legislature.
Gov. John Kitzhaber and House Speaker Tina Kotek are continuing their aggressive push for the project. But Senate President Peter Courtney insists that the skeptical Washington Legislature back the project too, not just Gov. Jay Inslee.
"The project is too important for the state not to try and continue the conversation with the information we now have," Kotek, a Portland Democrat, told reporters Thursday at a legislative forum organized by The Associated Press.
Washington's Senate last year declined to take up the project amid strong opposition to plans to use the new bridge to extend Portland's light-rail network into Vancouver, Wash. Advocates in Oregon are pushing to move ahead anyway, with Oregon bearing all the risk for cost overruns or shortfalls in tolling revenue. Oregon Department of Transportation officials say they can secure necessary permission through intergovernmental agreements with Washington, which wouldn't require legislative approval in Olympia.
"It is legally, it is administratively, it is financially, it is operationally doable," Kitzhaber said. "I think we need to do it. It is an Oregon priority."
But Courtney, a Salem Democrat, has been vocal in his opposition to moving forward without support from Washington lawmakers.
"We have done our duty," Courtney said. "The state of Washington needs to do its duty, its state Legislature and its governor."
Courtney declined to say whether he would use his authority as Senate president to ensure a bridge-funding bill doesn't reach the Senate floor.
He would say only, "I don't think they could show they have 16 votes," the minimum needed for a bill to pass the Senate.
Sen. Diane Rosenbaum of Portland, the No. 2 Democrat, also took a skeptical view. "It's a bridge between two states, and two states need to step up," Rosenbaum said.

Norma,After I posted, I recalled that at one time I purchased a bag of the Pillsbury Best bread flour. I couldn't remember what happened to it, so I checked my pantry. There, in the back, completely hidden behind other things, was a 3-year old bag of Pillsbury Best bread flour in a sealed plastic storage container. The first thing I did was to check the bag to see if the word bleached was on it. I did not find it. So, that is something that remains to be checked.I decided to discard the flour but out of curiosity I decided to make a 9-ounce dough ball and to do a gluten mass test on it. I wanted to see the effects of long aging on the quantity and quality of the gluten mass. So, I conducted the gluten mass test. I could tell fairly soon in the process that the quality of the gluten mass was sub-par. Pieces of the gluten mass wanted to break off, and I had to struggle to keep the gluten mass intact. In fact, some pieces did break off but since I was working over a sieve, I caught the straggler pieces that broke off and reincorporated them into the main body of gluten. After 15 minutes, I weighed the gluten mass. It weighed 58.6 grams, or 2.07 grams. That value almost did not make the Master list we created. The above test seems to suggest that aging of flour is not the best thing for either the quantity or quality of gluten. My case was perhaps an aggravated one since a flour held for three years in a Texas heat environment has to be a harsh thing for a flour to endure without penalty. I am glad I did the test if only to know the consequences of aging a flour over a long period of time.As far as the remains of your alcohol test are concerned, I do not see any reason to keep them. Peter
Do you think after the long while that the last gluten mass test was left in the isopropyl alcohol, it did really separate the gliadin and glutenlin, or do you think the gluten mass just degraded? I am just curious about if the isopropyl alcohol really can separate the gliadin from the glutelin or if something else was going on.
Norma,Thank you for conducting the gluten mass test on the King Arthur cake flour. That is the flour that King Arthur sells under the name Queen Guinevere (http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/king-arthur-queen-guinevere-cake-flour-3-lb). I have updated the gluten Master list below to include the gluten mass numbers you came up with in your recent test. As you can see, the KA cake flour is at the bottom of the list, which is where it should be for the flours that are on the Master list. It's possible that it took you longer to conduct the gluten mass test because the KA cake flour contains more starch (carbohydrates) than regular flours used to make bread and pizza dough, as can be seen at http://www.kingarthurflour.com/professional/nutritional-analysis-bakery-flour.html. Also, the KA cake flour is bleached, which might possibly have some effect on how the gluten is separated out of the dough during the washing operation.I am familiar with the thefreshloaf.com list of protein percentages. If you look at the bottom of the list, you will see that that list came from November's Mixed Mass Percentage Calculator at http://foodsim.toastguard.com/ and was so acknowledged. If you don't mind doing a gluten mass test on the Ultragrain flour, I would be interested in seeing the results.Master Gluten Mass List (as of 4/13/12)KASL (King Arthur Sir Lancelot): 4.1 ounces, or 116.235 grams (14.2 +/- 0.2% protein)All Trumps (bromated, bleached): 3.81 ounces, or 108 grams (14.2 +/- 0.3% protein)Power (Pendleton): 3.8 ounces, or 107.73 grams (13.0 +/- 0.3% protein)Kyrol (bleached, bromated): 3.74 ounces, or 106 grams (13.8 +/- 0.3% protein)ADM Gigantic: 3.42 ounces, or 96.89 grams (14.0 +/- 0.3% protein)Occident (ConAgra): 2.7 ounces, or 76.55 grams (12.4% protein)KABF (King Arthur Bread Flour): 2.68 ounces, or 75.978 grams (12.7 +/- 0.2% protein)Caputo 00 Rinforzato: 2.66 ounces, or 75.43 grams (12.5 +/- 0.5% protein)Caputo 00 Pizzeria: 2.54 ounces, or 72.12 grams (11.5-12.5% protein)Mondako (bleached, Pendleton): 2.354 ounces, or 66.75 grams (12.0 +/- 0.3% protein)Better for Bread (aka Harvest King): 2.306 ounces, or 65.3751 grams (12.0 +/- 0.3% protein)KAAP (King Arthur All-Purpose): 2.297 ounces, or 65.11995 grams (11.7 +/- 0.2% protein)Ceresota All-Purpose: 2.114 ounces, or 59.93 grams (12% protein)Caputo Extra/Blue 00: 2.06 ounces, or 58.38 grams (11 +/- 0.5% protein) (Note: expiration date of flour = 2010)King Arthur Guinevere Cake: 2.008 ounces, or 57.02 grams (7.0 +/- 0.2% protein)Peter

ROME — The debate over the origin and development of life and the universe will be coming to Rome early November, but it won't be taking place in the same hall. Two parallel conferences will be going on in different parts of the city.
The Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences is sponsoring an Oct. 31-Nov. 4 plenary session looking at the "Scientific Insights into the Evolution of the Universe and Life." Meanwhile, the French organization, "Centre d'Etudes et de Prospective sur la Science" (Center for Studies and Prospective on Science) will be sponsoring its own international gathering of scientists who oppose evolution at Rome's city hospital, Umberto Policlinico. The U.S.-based Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation is also promoting the latter event.
According to a "Scientific Critique of Evolution" press release, the French association decided to hold its own conference after the pontifical academy "ignored the scientists' request" to be invited to the Vatican session in order to present arguments against evolution.
It said the scientists emphasize they are not "creationists," who take a literal interpretation of the biblical account of creation. Rather, the French association's president, Dominque Tassot, says the theory of evolution has no scientific basis and that some scientific studies are showing the Earth may be much younger than widely thought.
Evolutionary theory has been getting lots of play at the Vatican recently and Pope Benedict XVI has often spoken how evolution "exists," but cannot explain everything nor can it exclude a divine cause.
Meanwhile, the Vatican is hosting another conference next year to mark the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species." Since proponents of creationism or intelligent design have not been invited to speak at that event, fierce debate will be unlikely. Though it will be interesting to see if evolution-opponents create another parallel conference to coincide with it.

Hear, hear! I have been trying to define masculinity all my life against a variety of assaults, beginning in the 60s, and some of them from me: being a man does not mean shooting guns, riding motorcycles, or watching sports.
By the same token, men die of wars of their own making, including religious conflicts and persecutions (anybody know any female leaders of the Inquisiton?). If humanity can abolish war (and maybe, farther down the line, religion), one of men's primary roles/occupations will be cut off. But maybe not: There are even women in the military now.
I don't think you can define gender by expected tasks, although men still take out the trash, kill bugs, and remove the dead rodent that the cat has deposited on your bed (actually happened to me).
As to masculinity, I'm open to suggestions.
Maybe we should not be focusing on differences but on how both genders could work together to end war and religion.

What Happens During Fios Installation? Verizon Fios Internet Service installation is a two-step process. To ensure a fast and trouble-free installation, please review the Get Ready checklist prior to your installation day.
Someone over the age of 18 must be present during installation. The installation time can vary depending upon equipment that may already be present. If an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is present, average installation times are 2.5 to 4 hours. If there is no ONT, installation can take between 4 to 6 hours. Note: the Verizon Technician may not arrive within the first hour of the appointment due to pre-work.
Drilling may be required, and our skilled technician will work with you on the proper placement. Landlord permission is also required if you do not own the property.
1 - Bringing fiber to your home
After you place your Fios order, we will install a fiber optic line to your home. Generally, installation involves either aerial or underground work, and depends on how previous utilities were delivered to your home. You typically do not need to be present for this part of installation.

Lodge of Sorceresses is Maintaining Sustainable PvE Endgame!!!
We are recruiting active players, enthusiastic about PvE content in ESO, to grow towards the Endgame (progressive veteran Trials, currently running 2 Cores, 2 more being planned) through what we call "Midgame" content (veteran DLC Dungeons & vArenas). To achieve our goal, we organize events everyday: 12-man content at 8:30pm CET (German time). We do Midgame content in a daily basis.
Who can join?
- We accept CP 300+ players, for long-term camaraderie. Candidates need to be able to attend our events at least 3 times a week (Mid-/End-game). Raids start at 8:15pm CET (events last 2-2.5 hrs max)...
- We only are looking forward to players who can play the game 4-5 evenings a week in general, with future Endgame prospect in mind... No logging in from raid to raid. We believe "you learn the game by playing it!".
What We Provide?
- Constant training and growth to help you become a killing machine (or a healing lifespring) as we progress together...
- Fun environment to do PvE - absolutely zero elitism, patience and tolerance towards new/unskilled players and such...
- Discord - where we socialize, which is our primary guild chat...
- Premium Website - where we organize our events, socialize further. Featuring event reviews written by our members. Colorful Event gallery...
- Guild Housing - where you can find Crafting Stations, Transmutation Station, Mundus Stones and ever growing cool decoration for your seeing pleasure...
- Youtube Channel - where we stream many events we do as a guild...
- Custom Planner - where we plan to organize even better (coming very soon!)
Who Shouldn't Join?
- Whoever isn't sure about their availability and playtime. We really don't want to chase after people and remind them to sign up for events. So if unsure, please don't waste our time!!!
- Whoever isn't a team-player, always putting his/her own gains before guild goals. Someone who thinks of searching for another guild instead of solutions, whenever his guild/team experiences problems.
Endgame Progress
We currently have 2 Raid Cores raiding regularly, the third being in the making. We have hierarchical Core-system, i.e. Core-1 being our flagship Core is our elite group, Core-2 and -3 following next. Players joining us prove themselves in Core-3, advancing into Core-2 and then Core-1 in time. Underperforming and/or training-requiring raiders are demoted from Cores towards one step below (Core-1 to Core-2, Core-2 to Core-3 and so on). Thus we have ever evolving, ever-improving progression Cores in the guild. Both Core-1 and -2 have cleared vMOL, vHOF and vCR+1 several times and currently are progressing in vCR+2.
If you like what you read, please kindly signup on our website (make sure you complete your profile here 100%). Once done, join our Discord, we will talk.

With neither visiting Penn Charter nor host Springside Chestnut Hill Academy able to fill all 14 weight classes, the two teams juggled forfeits and made adjustments in their line-ups during last Wednesday's wrestling meet, which was the Inter-Ac League opener for both squads.
With just five matches remaining the visiting Quakers led 30-20 in the meet score, but two wins and two wins by forfeit propelled the SCH Blue Devils to a 44-34 victory.
"It's great to start off the league with a 'W'," said longtime SCH coach Charlie Neely. "We lost close meets with Penn Charter the last couple years, so it was good to come out on top."
The forfeits were a wash, with each side giving up three bouts (18 points) to the opposition. In contests actually decided on the mat, SCH got pins from junior George Kunkel (145 lbs.), freshman Jackson Bistrong (120), and sophomores Jordan Wang (113) and Ben Rubin (195). PC's pins came from junior Eric Berger (152) and senior Steve Miller (160).
"They got falls where they needed them to pick up important points," Quakers coach Jason Markey said of the Blue Devils. "We both made some bumps to try and capitalize on the forfeits. Charlie stayed away from my hammers, I got away from his, and it just came down to the middle men. Charlie and his guys did a good job preparing for the meet."
Springside Chestnut Hill improved to 3-4 overall in dual meets, while PC went to 3-1.
The starting weight last Wednesday was 138 lbs. SCH sophomore Anthony Liddy, a varsity wrestling rookie, gave up two penalty points for locking hands, but a pair of takedowns and some back points helped him capture an 8-3 decision over Charter junior Taylor Jobes. The hosts went ahead 9-0 in the meet thanks to Kunkel, who quickly took down fellow junior Stanton Young and pinned him with eight seconds left in the opening period.
Berger's pin at 152 got the Quakers on the board. He scored an early takedown against Matt Klauder, then the Blue Devil senior almost made good on a stand-up escape attempt. Berger rode him to the mat again and got the pin with 23 ticks to go in the first round.
PC went ahead in the team tally with Miller's pin, which came with 18 seconds left in the 160 lb. bout. Miller led junior Mike Moriarty, another first-year grappler for SCH, 2-1 after the first period and 4-1 following the second stanza. Afterwards, an emotional Moriarty threw aside his headgear when he was off the mat, but it still caught the eye of the official and a penalty point on the Devils set the meet score at 12-8. The visitors' advantage went to 18-8 with SCH's forfeit at 170 lbs. to Quakers senior Josh Ford.
The Blue Devils' Rubin made weight at 182 lbs. to wrestle against PC senior Joey Woodruff, but Neely, the SCH coach, elected to forfeit that match to the Quakers. Bumping Rubin up to 195 lbs., he lined him up against Charter freshman Jelani Buie. That, in turn, moved Blue Devils freshman Desmond Johnson up to 220, where PC was planning to forfeit.
"Last season Ben [Rubin] wrestled against Woodruff and was pinned," related Neely. "I think it would be a different match this year because Ben is bigger and stronger, but we decided to play it safe and bumped up Ben and Desmond. It worked out; we got six points out of each spot."
The home team's forfeit at 182 put Charter up 24-8, but SCH got six points back when Rubin pinned Buie with half-a-minute left in the second round of the 195 lb. tilt. Although the points picked up by the unopposed Johnson at 220 lbs. brought SCH close to the Quakers in the meet score, 20-24, the gap grew to 10 once more as the Blue Devils forfeited to PC's senior heavyweight, Tyler Mercer.
SCH bounced back within four points once more as freshman Brandon Boyer accepted the visitors' forfeit at 106 lbs.
"It's nice that we have two 106-pounders this year," Neely noted. "It gives us the option of having Jordan [Wang] wrestle there, or bumping him up to 113."
Wang, a veteran wrestler, matted visiting freshman Norman Williams in 23 seconds, moving the Devils ahead 32-30 in the meet. Early in the 120 lb. contest, PC junior Jared Ominsky came close to taking Bistrong down onto his back, but Bistrong avoided the pitfall just before both wrestlers flopped to the mat outside the ring. After the initial round ended at 0-0, Bistrong started on top in the second segment, parlaying that advantage into a pin with 28 seconds to go.
In effect, this sealed the victory for SCH. Now leading 38-30, the Devils were due to have freshman Peter Pillar pick up a PC forfeit at 132 lbs. in the final weight class. That would spread the score to 44-30, so there was no way that the Quakers could close the gap in the 126 lb. match. There, Charter junior Etienne Dumas rolled up a 9-1 major decision over SCH sophomore Evan Wilson, making the final reckoning 44-34.
The coaches of both teams will continue to have to be inventive, since both are bound to give up some forfeit points in most meets.
"I might be able to fill the 132 lb. spot," Markey remarked, "but we're still going to have holes simply due to the number of kids in the program. We've just got to get back in the room and fix some of the mistakes."

Great review of RGBA, Drew.
Couple this with some neat CSS animations in Javascript (Use jQuery… for Strength!) and other CSS3 features (e.g. border-radius and box-shadow) for some amazing design elements.
I love that we're finally seeing CSS taking hold. When I first started learning HTML, the book I bought had one chapter on CSS. It made sense to me back then to separate the disciplines and centralise design. Now we're just going crazy… in a good way… because we can!
I say not to worry too much about IE. Users will decide.

Hospital practices have a huge impact on a family's infant feeding decision and the success of breastfeeding. As a healthcare provider, your role is to educate and encourage women to breastfeed and then support them in reaching their infant feeding goals.
The following are tips for breastfeeding success:
- Breastfeed within the first hour. Babies should be put skin-to-skin immediately after birth.
- Practice rooming in. Mothers and babies should be kept in the same room day and night so mothers can get to know their baby's signs of hunger.
- Breastfeed on demand. When a baby roots, makes sucking sounds, puts fist to mouth, or is starting to wake, this is a signal that a baby is ready to be fed.
- No bottles or pacifiers. Bottles and pacifiers often interfere with breastfeeding and cause babies not to nurse frequently enough.
- Breastfeed exclusively. Providing only breast milk protects the mother's milk supply and gives mother and baby time to learn how to breastfeed.
Breastfeeding Plan
It is important for mothers to talk to their partner and doctor before delivery about their decision to breastfeed, so they can provide the best support possible. This handout can be provided to mothers to help her family and healthcare providers understand her ideal hospital experience and feeding goals.
Healthcare Initiatives:
- The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative
- Missouri "Show Me 5" Hospital Initiative
- The Joint Commission's Perinatal Care Core Measure Set
with a core measure on exclusive breast milk feeding.
- Ban the Bags Initiative
- The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine Protocols (ABM)
Medical Association Breastfeeding Position Papers:
- United States Breastfeeding Committee
- American Journal of Public Health-"Marketing Infant Formula Through Hospitals: The Impact of Commercial Hospital Discharge Packs on Breastfeeding"
- National WIC Association – "NWA National Breastfeeding Strategic Plan"
Medications and Breastfeeding:
- For information on medications that are compatible with breastfeeding go to the Infant Risk Center.

Can drinking HIV infected urine transfer hiv antibodies?
Aug 4, 2010
resubmitted form the Fatigue and Anemia Forum." Can drinking large amounts of urine from an HIV infected person cause antibodies to HIV to be present in the drinkers body. Also have chronic hep b Any chance this could cause a false positive HIV test. Had upper R Quadrant pain for 2-3 days when stopped drinking the infected urine.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Ingesting golden showers, even in large quantities, from an HIV-positive buddy would not affect the results of your HIV-antibody test. Generally speaking chronic hepatitis B would not cause false-positive HIV-antibody tests. It's worth noting that if you did have a falsely positive HIV-antibody test from any reason, this would be discovered quickly with routine follow-up testing.

Next Time Someone Suggests Piracy Will Kill Music, Remind Them That Music Survived The Last Ice Age
from the a-little-perspective dept
Viewed in that light, the idea that recordings are the central, defining aspect of music or the music industry is just plain ridiculous. Between that ancient flute and today, there have been plenty of different successful models for funding music. Kim points out that the one common thread throughout, which continues today, is that music's primary function is more community-building than anything else:
For most of human history, music was a public and participatory experience, inextricably linked to a plural of people synched in a real-time experience. As a binding agent of dancing and singing bodies, music could literally manifest community. And lest you think our modern society has evolved beyond the tribal utility of music, just think of religious services, major sporting events, weddings, nightclubs, road trips… when was the last time you attended one of these without some sort of collective music ritual?I found all this especially fascinating because of the conclusion Kim reached, and the model he's dubbed "crowd patronage" for supporting music going forward, combining the traditions of busking and of wealthy patrons that have been dominant in virtually all periods of history and, likely, pre-history. The idea is that you need an "ecosystem of fans" and then they will support you in exchange for "relationship access". It is, essentially, the same as what we've been calling CwF+RtB here at Techdirt. Using Kickstarter as an example, Kim elaborates:
In many ways, music is the original social network. This makes musicians founders of community. In a networked world, that's powerful.
Just like in the era of patronage, pledgers are usually not buying a commodified product. The most successful music Kickstarter projects sell you one or more of three "values": 1) access to artist (as discussed above), 2) exclusivity and 3) recognition/participation (especially for artist's creation).It's great to see more people reaching this conclusion, and especially interesting to see it approached from a broader historical perspective: crowd patronage or CwF+RtB is only a new or radical concept when viewed through the narrow lens of recorded music's few decades of dominance. In the bigger picture, it's actually a return to music's roots as a community tool and a tribal experience. Recorded music is still a fantastic thing that has enriched our lives and our culture in its own way—but the notion that music cannot thrive without the commoditization of discrete units doesn't withstand an ounce of scrutiny. The next time someone suggests such a thing, remind them that humans were carving flutes out of bone 20,000 years before the last ice age ended, when glaciers were still creeping towards the Great Lakes and consuming all of the British Isles, and the last few Neanderthals were still roaming around Europe. It sure makes CDs and records seem a tad less significant.
So we're going to see more artists open up the creation process to their fanbase. Everything from crediting fans in the liner notes, to tracking fans' recorded sounds as real stems, to skyping and polling fans during studio sessions.
As a musician, it's already technically possible to do this. In the next few years, we're going to find it become more culturally acceptable on both the artist and fan side. More importantly, artists are going to start finding which sorts of packages their fans actually buy, etching out the contours of a new crowd patronage "model".

The Monterey Institute announced on May 16 that it has received a $2.1 million donation to support student scholarships for the acquisition and enhancement of foreign language ability. The Institute is a graduate school of Middlebury College.
The donor, who asked to remain anonymous, directed that the gift create two endowed scholarship funds, one to honor former Monterey Institute president Clara Yu and her husband, John Deppman, and the other to honor the current president, Sunder Ramaswamy, and his wife, Varna Ramaswamy.
The $2.1 million gift to the Monterey Institute came as part of a $4.2 gift to Middlebury. The other $2.1 million will establish the endowed Jessica K. and Ronald D. Liebowitz Centennial Fellowships Fund to provide financial aid to students attending Middlebury's summer Language Schools in Vermont and at Mills College in Oakland, CA. That fund honors Middlebury President Ron Liebowitz and his wife, Jessica, and recognizes the Centennial of the Language Schools in 2015.
"We are deeply indebted to this family for its generous support of Middlebury and the Monterey Institute," said Liebowitz. "Their commitment to providing access to Middlebury's renowned language programs will make it possible for hundreds of students from around the world to study at these premier institutions."
"I am overwhelmed and humbled by this donor's generosity," added President Ramaswamy. "This gift will truly make a difference in the lives of hundreds of students, sending ripple upon ripple of positive change out into the world in the years ahead."

Start a New Thanksgiving Tradition with Turkey and Trimmings from the Grill, Smoker or Fryer
Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association and the National Turkey Federation Offer Tips for Full-flavored Turkeys
Arlington, VA (Food News) Each Thanksgiving, many consumers head outdoors to the grill, smoker or fryer to spice up their holiday meals and enjoy fall's cooler temperatures which are ideal for outdoor cooking. According to the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA), the ease, affordability, extra space in the kitchen, and delicious result make outdoor holiday cooking popular among family chefs.
"With year-round outdoor cooking on the rise, consumers are becoming more adventurous and trying new techniques, gadgets and recipes for Thanksgiving," said Leslie Wheeler, HPBA Communications Director. "Start a new tradition by cooking all or part of your holiday feasts outside. While the turkey is the heart of the meal, savory side dishes, including vegetables, fruits and desserts, can all be cooked outdoors."
Consumers agree that there are many reasons they are cooking outdoors during the holidays – and all year round – according to HPBA's State of the Barbecue Industry report findings. Consumers say they'll cook outdoors for the:
- Desire to eat tasty food (58%),
- Personal satisfaction of making a great meal outside (51%),
- Convenience (42%)
The National Turkey Federation (NTF) estimates 46 million turkeys will be cooked this holiday season. With grilling, smoking and/or frying the whole turkey or turkey breast continuing to gain popularity, HPBA and NTF offer tips for a delicious meal:
From the Grill (Indirect Grilling)
- Purchase a turkey that is broad and flat to fit underneath the covered grill top.
- Make sure there is at least one-inch of space between the turkey and the grill lid.
- Apply a thin coating of non-stick vegetable cooking oil to the unheated rack and brush the outer surface of the turkey with cooking oil.
- Do not tie the legs together when grilling a whole bird. The turkey will cook more evenly if hot air circulates to all areas of the bird.
- Allow for two to three hours of indirect cooking time for an eight to 12 pound turkey and three to four hours for a 12-16 pound turkey.
Smoked Turkey
- Be sure the smoker reaches an internal temperature of 250 degrees F to 300 degrees F before inserting the turkey.
- Place the turkey in the smoker with the breast facing up.
- Make sure there is at least one inch of space between the turkey and the smoker lid.
- If using a charcoal smoker, add charcoal often to maintain the 250 degrees F to 300 degrees F temperature necessary to produce the hot smoke that cooks the turkey.
- Smoke the turkey 20 to 30 minutes per pound.
Fried Turkey
- In addition to frying a whole turkey, turkey breasts, legs and thighs are also ideal for frying.
- If using an oil fryer, always use a high smoke point frying oil, such as peanut oil. Never allow the cooking oil to exceed 375 degrees F.
- Always lower the turkey slowly into the hot oil.
- Allow three to four minutes of fry-time per pound for whole turkeys in an oil fryer and eight to ten minutes per pound in an infrared oil-less fryer.
- Allow oil to cool completely before removing from pot.

ELBURN – Young girls from M&M Dance showed off their moves, juking down Route 47 to the sounds of MC Hammer and the C+C Music Factory.
Employees from Jewel pushed shopping carts, tossing out bottles of water and a few other grocery items to those who lined the streets of downtown Elburn.
And Scouts of different ranks threw candy to fellow youths, who were lined up to watch Friday night as the Elburn Days parade kicked off the village's signature festival.
Lasting more than 90 minutes, the parade brought out the Kaneland High School band, dancers, firefighters, Ronald McDonald, a guy raising a replica Stanley Cup and political types, who brought their dogs.
There also were a couple of train delays, which is to be expected in a town that sees several trains an hour cross Route 47.
The parade kicks off the Elburn Days festival, which is run by the Elburn Lions Club. Parade participants marched down Route 47, and the end puts them in the vicinity of the festival, which is at Lions Park at 500 Filmore St., Elburn.
Near the end of the parade, the Kindness Campaign, clad in bright green T-shirts, marched with 85 participants.
The group launched earlier this year, as a companion group to the Knights Against Bullying, who have pushed for changes in Kaneland School District 302.
Renee Dee, one of the leaders of the Kindness Campaign, said she was thrilled with the turnout, and she was excited that some Kaneland administrators – including Superintendent Jeff Schuler – were among those wearing green shirts and marching with the group.
Schuler said it was the first time he participated in the parade.
"It's a good message and a good cause," Schuler said.
Big crowds watched the parade, lining Route 47 from north of the downtown area to near Lions Park.
Kaneville resident Mary Nicely was folding up her blanket after the last entrants had passed.
She said it's a tradition she wouldn't think of missing, as she's been attending them for decades and has staked out the same spot – south of the railroad tracks – for 10 years.
She said she arrives at 8 a.m. on parade day to claim her spot, and that dozens of others are doing the same.
"You know a lot of people," Nicely said of the attraction of the parade. "It's a small town. It's fun."
Dale Garman, 59, smiled as he waited for a train to pass after the parade was completed. Garman, a Kaneland graduate, said he was in town for a reunion.
Garman now lives in California, but said he will return for such festivities.
He hadn't been in town for 10 years, and said much had changed.
"It's grown up," he said.
The parade brought out classic cars and participants riding on farm equipment. As representatives from Old Second Bank rode by, "For the Love of Money" could be heard.
Ronald McDonald was in attendance, riding in a float shaped like a giant clown shoe.
The Kaneland High School band performed "Ease on Down the Road."
The festival runs through Sunday at Lions Park, featuring carnival rides, live bands, food stands, a community stage and mud volleyball.

If you go
The Elburn Days festival continues through Sunday at Lions Park, 500 Filmore St., Elburn. For information, visit www.elburnlions.com/elburn-days.

Los Angeles rapper Hopsin recently sat down with Nardwuar and discussed his beginnings as an actor before giving his opinion on LIl Wayne being a skater.
"The 'That's So Raven' thing, I was actually a day-player on there. I had to audition for it, but I've done like hundreds of shows," he recalled. "That was my job, being an extra, from like 15 up until age 22 years old. That was my job until I actually got an income from rapping...I was on a lot. I was on 'Lizzie McGuire,' I've done extra work on 'That's So Raven,' I've done extra work on 'Even Stevens,' I've done it on the movie John Tucker Must Die."
He then said what he really thinks about Lil Wayne skating.
"My favorite skater rapper of all time who's like, really killing it, is my ni*ga Lil Wayne. He be shredding - psych. He's f**king wack," he said. "Yelawolf is a [good] skater rapper. He's super dope. That's probably the only one that I'll co-sign."
Do you agree?

The fast food restaurant is a fixture of urban, suburban and rural America, appealing to people from every age group, income bracket and ethnic background. It's as close as you can get in the United States to something everyone can agree on.
Despite their dominant position in the US marketplace, the Taco Bells, Burger Kings and Pizza Huts of the nation still have to attract customers; kitchen staff, marketing departments and research teams are constantly looking for new ways to court them. However, not all of the ideas can be on a par with the Big Mac, and sometimes, they fall squarely into the "what were they thinking?" category, as anyone who's tried to eat a McLobster sandwich can attest.

BioShock Infinite Screens Offer More Tasty Glimpses of Columbia
Need another injection of BioShock Infinite media to keep you going until the March release? Well, feast your eyes on some new screens!
Wash that Tuesday morning malaise away with these new screenshots, courtesy of those wizards at Irrational Games. First up we have the lovely Elizabeth, pre-haircut, brandishing a book and ready for her Meet Cute with Booker. Looks like she was getting ready to beat him down with a copy of The Principles of Quantum Physics. Ouch.
Then we have a shot of Booker's high-flying maneuvers as he goes in to punch a baddie after launching himself from the Sky-Line. We certainly wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one of those punches. The next screen shows Booker lighting up another enemy and perforating his torso with a gun in front of a bookshop. And the last screen shows a kind of creepy chamber filled with candles and a small pool. We can only imagine the type of weird things that go on in that room.
But we won't have much longer to wait until we find out, because BioShock Infinite will be released on March 26th, 2013! Let us know what you think about the screens in the meantime and if you're ready for the adventure in the skies!

Snoop Dogg Sued By Famed Jazz Artist For Sampling
from the fo-shizzle-my-copyrizzle dept
And now it appears that some jazz greats, who relied on just the same ability to build on the works of others, are now using copyright law to try to stop other artists from building on their own works. Michael Henderson, a bandmate of Miles Davis, and an incredibly influential jazz musician is now suing Snoop Dogg for sampling.
The legal battles over sampling have gone on for years, with some really, really terrible rulings on the books (basically, look for any lawsuit involving Bridgeport). Notably, Henderson appears to have brought this lawsuit in the 6th Circuit, where the Bridgeport v. Dimension Films bizarrely declared that there was no "de minimis" defense to sampling music. It would be nice to see a court decision recognizing that sampling isn't illegal, but we're unlikely to see that any time soon...
