What to Know About Immigration

With steep fines on the line, quick serves grapple with employment verification compliance.

“This letter serves as advance notice that ICE has scheduled a review of your forms.”

These words from a Letter of Inspection sent by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department are among the most feared in the quick-service industry, perhaps second only to those found on an Internal Revenue Service audit letter.

Today, there is increased pressure for quick-serve operators to be informed on the issue. As Chipotle discovered in 2011, when hundreds of its workers were found to be illegal immigrants, any quick-serve company not in compliance with the law faces the possibility of harsh fines and even harsher negative press. Being informed about Employment Eligibility Verification, or I-9, forms, however, can be harder than it sounds. There are 150 possible mistakes on a single form, 69 pages of instructions, and potential fines of $110–$1,100 per form.

“The I-9 instruction booklet is notoriously complicated and fine amounts are astronomical—they’re unreal,” says Mary Ellen Reihsen, an immigration law attorney at Foley & Mansfield, a national law firm. An I-9 form can only be fined once, Reihsen points out, but an employer with 180 employees might have 180 violations with one consistent error.

High industry turnover and an immigrant population ready and willing to fill hourly positions make for a potent and charged problem, says James Sinclair, national restaurant consultant with OnSite Consulting. “It’s super scary,” he says. “Restaurant owners are in a crisis. Documented workers simply aren’t applying [for jobs] or small restaurants can’t afford the costs associated with job recruitment for what tend to be low roles.”

If it seems fast-food restaurants are particularly an audit target, it’s because they probably are, one consultant says.

“They’re low-hanging fruit,” says Hannah Woolsey, another attorney who practices immigration law at Foley & Mansfield. ICE officials, she says, know hospitality, construction, and service industries have lower-paid workers and high turnover, and therefore have an increased likelihood for noncompliance or technical violations.

Christine San Juan, vice president of people development for Boloco, also believes restaurants can be high-visibility targets. “I think 20 units for a chain seems to be an audit trigger, and if there is a lot of buzz around your concept, you’re going to bring attention to yourself,” she says.

As Boloco, which has 18 units, prepares to open three new stores in cities with diverse labor pools, the issue has been top of mind, San Juan says. But the company made a conscious choice to comply even before it could become an issue. “I’d rather get to the dance before I’m forced to go,” she says. “We just make compliance a habit.”

Woolsey says operators who aren’t in compliance aren’t always just trying to dodge a law, but rather face operational challenges; most can’t afford human resource departments that can help protect them, she says. “They’ll assign [compliance to] someone and assume they’re doing their job. It isn’t until they’re issued an Intent to Fine [letter] that they have any idea there is a problem.” An Intent to Fine letter is issued when verification violations are detected.

However, some operators, Woolsey says, are willing to roll the dice. “They assume they have undocumented workers, but can’t find anyone else to do the job.”

“Most businesses want to do the right thing,” Sinclair says. “Owners aren’t walking out there saying, ‘I am actively seeking undocumented workers.’”

Still, quick serves must do everything in their power to comply, Reihsen says, or expose themselves to huge risk. “[ICE] doesn’t need a reason to audit,” she says. “Their job is to make sure undocumented workers are not working illegally.”

If targeted for an audit, a restaurant will receive a Letter of Inspection and has 72 hours to gather and produce documentation, the experts say. Whether those 72 hours are peaceful or panicked depends on an operator’s approach to compliance detail and record keeping.

Boloco opted to sign on with E-Verify, a verification service provided by the Department of Homeland Security, and outsourced much of its onboarding and selection process to PeopleMatter, a talent management solutions firm that specializes in service industries. ICE, meanwhile, offers a voluntary certification program called the ICE Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (image) to encourage a culture of compliance. The certification process requires training, an audit, and participation in E-Verify. In return, participants earn a two-year stay from audits and minimum penalties for substantive violations.

Dani Bennett, public affairs officer for ICE, says the agency hopes responsible employers will want to ensure documentation compliance just as they do with IRS reporting.

Sinclair recommends developing an organized internal system. Operators should assemble a comprehensive packet of required documentation for every worker, he says. “That way, when ICE says, ‘Show me your data,’ you can say, ‘Gladly.’”

Operators who are put on notice should call an attorney immediately, Reihsen says. Even if funds are tight, she says, restaurants should “lawyer up,” insisting on counsel who practice I-9 compliance. This isn’t something to navigate alone, she says.

San Juan says restaurants must find ways to work within the system, and that best practices make for the absolute best defense. “We always have to weigh the expense against cost of getting audited and being unsuccessful,” she says. “It’s an insurmountable and staggering amount of money. How can you not afford to comply?” q

NRA Names New VP of Governmental Affairs

The National Restaurant Association announced that Matt Walker has been named vice president of government affairs and will lead the Association’s advocacy strategy in the U.S. Senate and support efforts directed at the U.S. House of Representatives and Administration.

Prior to joining the Association, Walker worked in Congress for 14 years, most recently as the longtime deputy staff director and chief counsel of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship and senior aide to former U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-Maine).

In addition to managing the Small Business Committee’s priorities, he supported Snowe’s legislative efforts on the Senate Finance and Senate Commerce Committees. His accomplishments include developing and spearheading legislative initiatives credited with helping the Small Business Administration support over $30 billion in small business loans, the highest level in the agency’s history. He has been recognized in major national publications as among the top aides on Capitol Hill.

“Matt’s Senate tenure and policy expertise on small business issues will allow him to be an effective advocate on behalf of America’s nearly one million restaurants,” says Scott DeFife, executive vice president of the National Restaurant Association. “The foodservice industry is affected by policy decisions on a wide array of issues, ranging from tax reform to health care to immigration reform, and the National Restaurant Association’s policy team will be working in 2013 to promote policies that allow restaurants to continue to create jobs. Matt is a valued addition to our team at a critical time.”

Walker is a recently retired veteran of the Armed Forces. Throughout his military career in the Army National Guard, he played critical roles in diverse units including engineer, infantry, and joint forces headquarters. During his 2006–2007 deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, Walker was selected as U.S. Liaison to the South Korean and Polish forces and Project Manager of their construction operations. In that role, he managed more than 25 major construction projects in a combat theater without a single work stoppage or major safety incident.

Previously, Walker practiced law at Pierce Atwood, a leading New England firm, focusing on complex general and commercial litigation involving high profile cases. He also has extensive restaurant experience working in various establishments over six years.

A Maine native, Walker earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and an Interdisciplinary in Legal Studies from the University of Maine and a Juris Doctor from the Maine School of Law.

Quartz Enterprise Job Scheduler 1.x Configuration Reference

Configure Scheduler RMI Settings

None of the primary properties are required, and all have 'reasonable' defaults. When using Quartz via RMI, you need to start an instance of Quartz with it configured to "export" its services via RMI. You then create clients to the server by configuring a Quartz scheduler to "proxy" its work to the server.

Some users experience problems with class availability (namely Job classes) between the client and server. To work through these problems you'll need an understanding of RMI's "codebase" and RMI security managers. You may find these resources to be useful: An excellent description of RMI and codebase: http://www.kedwards.com/jini/codebase.html . One of the important points is to realize that "codebase" is used by the client! Quick info about security managers: http://gethelp.devx.com/techtips/java_pro/10MinuteSolutions/10min0500.asp And finally from the java API docs, read the docs for the RMISecurityManager http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/rmi/RMISecurityManager.html
Property Name Required Default Value
org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.export no false
org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.registryHost no 'localhost'
org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.registryPort no 1099
org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.createRegistry no 'never'
org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.serverPort no random
org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.proxy no false

If you want the Quartz Scheduler to export itself via RMI as a server then set the 'rmi.export' flag to true.

The host at which the RMI Registry can be found (often 'localhost').

The port on which the RMI Registry is listening (usually 1099).

Set the 'rmi.createRegistry' flag according to how you want Quartz to cause the creation of an RMI Registry. Use "false" or "never" if you don't want Quartz to create a registry (e.g. if you already have an external registry running). Use "true" or "as_needed" if you want Quartz to first attempt to use an existing registry, and then fall back to creating one. Use "always" if you want Quartz to attempt creating a Registry, and then fall back to using an existing one. If a registry is created, it will be bound to port number in the given 'org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.registryPort' property, and 'org.quartz.rmi.registryHost' should be "localhost".

The port on which the the Quartz Scheduler service will bind and listen for connections. By default, the RMI service will 'randomly' select a port as the scheduler is bound to the RMI Registry.

If you want to connect to (use) a remotely served scheduler, then set the 'org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.proxy' flag to true. You must also then specify a host and port for the RMI Registry process - which is typically 'localhost' port 1099.

It does not make sense to specify a 'true' value for both 'org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.export' and 'org.quartz.scheduler.rmi.proxy' in the same config file - if you do, the 'export' option will be ignored. A value of 'false' for both 'export' and 'proxy' properties is of course valid, if you're not using Quartz via RMI.

Facebook Wants You To Ask The Whole World Whether They Think Your Ex Cheated On You

Facebook is launching a new service called Questions, where users will be able to ask their friends anything that ends in a question mark. That can’t be great news for Fabulis.

The gay men-only social network thrives on readers asking other people questions. You get bits (Fabulis’ currency) for posing questions; bits for answering them; and a whole lot of spam email if you forget to disable your notification settings, because I’m pretty sure Fabulis’ system generates automatic “anonymous” questions for you to answer just so you’ll keep visiting the site. So how is Facebook going to encroach on Fabulis’ territory? Cnet explains:

About 1 percent of Facebook users will have early beta access to Facebook Questions, and it will be gradually rolled out to the rest of Facebook’s 500-million-plus active users after that. Any Facebook user can ask a question from a new “question dashboard,” the profile “publisher” that lets members update their statuses and add photos, or through the search box. They can tag their questions with category keywords, too, and those tags will eventually be used to fill up an aggregate “questions” tab on relevant Community Pages on Facebook. Of particular interest is the fact that a brand’s “fan page” on Facebook will be able to ask questions too, as well as respond to other questions, providing an opportunity for some “conversational” marketing and impromptu market research.

Oh great. We’ve already got to deal with corporations running elections. Now they’ll run our Facebook conversations, too.

But what Facebook has latched on to is a habit users are already engaged in there and on services like Twitter: Using crowdsourcing to come up with answers to their queries. How was Lady Gaga’s concert last night? Where’s a great first date spot? Does this username make me look fat? On Fabulis, one of the main features out of the gate was the ability to ask your friends questions; their answers became part of their profile. Wising up to the desire to pose Qs and scribble down As, Facebook is now jumping into this territory.

Though it doesn’t have to be all bad news for Fabulis: Facebook will open up the product to anyone using its API, which means Fabulis can piggyback on (read: import) the questions you ask and answer on Facebook.

Just remember: Any questions you ask are completely public, so “Do you think I should come out to my parents?” means you just did.

      I really do not like the possibilities for abuse that this opens up. One wonders if Facebook ever bothers to imagine the wrongs any of their actions might bring upon their own users.

Getting a Part Time Job for High School Students, Part 1

When you don’t have work experience, it’s hard to know how to get a job. In part 1, Stever gives several tips on how to pursue and land a real job.

Stever Robbins,
March 13, 2012
Episode #212

Page 2 of 2

Tip #3: Present Yourself as a Valuable Asset

Even though you don't have much work experience, you presumably want to do a good job. If your research turned up specific ways you think you can help, highlight that. If nothing else, you're part of different communities than they are. You know how you and your friends think. If you were working at a deli that wasn't getting business from high school students, you might suggest, "I read you were trying to attract more high school students. My friends eat at Buzzy's Roast Beef because it's more convenient. Maybe you could run a shuttle van here and back at lunchtime, and give a discount to groups of 4 or more kids who come here for lunch?"

If nothing else, you can honestly say "I haven't had much experience, yet—but I'll work as hard as I possibly can to help the company succeed."

Tip #4: Sell!

One of the simplest ways to show that you're valuable is to bring in more business. If I could tell teenaged me one thing to do differently, I'd tell me to take a sales job for a year. No matter what job you eventually do, you'll either be selling a product or selling your ideas.

This may be a scary idea for some people, but you're young. Your mind hasn't yet been turned into a quivering mass of jelly by local news, political pundits, and abusive corporate bosses. You can jump in and get over your fears quickly.

Before approaching a business, think about ways to gather customers for them. Then if you want to be really ballsy, walk in with a dozen new customers. While the customers are shopping, ask to speak with the manager. Say, "I just brought you a dozen new customers. You can see them—I asked them all to wear spandex superhero costumes so you could spot them easily. Yeah, they do need to work out more. But all the money they save on not going to the gym, they're spending here! I'm looking for a job where I can bring in thousands of dollars in sales every week. Would you like to hire me?"

Hopefully, these tips will get you started on your part-time job hunt. Stay tuned for part 2, where we’ll continue to address this very-important topic.

I’m Stever Robbins. I help successful people in build exceptional lives, business, and careers by uncovering the forces keeping them stuck, and helping them find ways to change so they can pursue their dreams. If you want to know more, visit http://www.SteverRobbins.com.

Work Less, Do More, and have a Great Life!

Share Abstract:

The use of radiopaque templates for predictable implant placement

Pages: 609-612
PMID: 8602440

The functional and esthetic needs of the patient who is to receive an implant-retained prosthesis can be established with the help of a provisional restoration that is duplicated in a radiopaque radiographic template. The computer tomogram prepared with the aid of the template allows the evaluation of the implant sites in relation to the outline of the planned restoration. The radiographic template is converted into the surgical template, which contains information regarding the optimal position and angulation of implants. Because the surgical template is a modification of the radiographic template, which rests rigidly on the teeth during all procedures, implant placement is more predictable.

Night Moves @ The Icehouse

Posted on 1/28/2013

Night Moves @ First Avenue Mainroom
January 26th, 2013

The Icehouse was packed to the gills on Saturday night for the homecoming of local group Night Moves, a band that received major buzz this last year after signing with Domino Records and rerecording their latest album, Colored Emotions. With so few local bands receiving national buzz in our music scene, it’s refreshing to see these guys getting the widespread attention they deserve and being able to deliver their sultry country-rock sound to audiences outside of Minnesota.

Despite the long, frigid line at the door, attendees were warmed up with local country-rock jammers Red Daughters, a group whose distinctly tight and thumping live sound created the perfect match to Night Moves’ delicate, spacey jams. The openers set a high standard for the night, ripping through a set of heavy, dank country-rock tunes that conjured influences of Cream, The Strokes, and the Allman Brothers. These guys have their live sound down to a science, and not a bluesy guitar lick, organ squelch, or saxophone scream was wasted.

When Night Moves finally took the stage, there was a tender, sentimental feel to the start of their set. It’s been a while since they’ve played in the cities and they’ve never sounded better than this last Saturday night. The bass thumped, the guitars cooed and screamed, and John Pelant’s vocals soared over the mix, sounding as confident (and dare I say “sexy”?) as he’s ever sounded. Blasting through cuts from their record, such as the heavy jammer “Horses” or anthems like “Country Queen” and “Headlights”, these guys have gained tons of confidence but haven’t lost any of their passion and quirkiness. Although they’ve moved past their status as local music staple into a nationally-recognized indie rock band, there aren’t many bands that sound as good with home-court advantage as Night Moves, and the Icehouse on Saturday provided a perfect venue to remember why they made it big in the first place.

Sound Travels...live with Yaya Kambaye

Click to enlarge

soundtravels_logo2250px-locationsenegalsvgHey y'all, today's Sound Travels was live wasn't it? Of course, by live I really mean live as we went all 414 Music on ya' with a live performance from Yaya Kambaye. Yaya was great in the studio, rocked us with live kora music from his homeland Dakar, Senegal, on the Western coast of Africa. FYI, the kora, is built from a large calabash cut in half and covered with cow skin to make a resonator, and has a notched bridge like a lute or guitar. The sound of a kora resembles that of a harp, though when played in the traditional style, it bears a closer resemblance to flamenco and delta blues guitar techniques. The player uses only the thumb and index finger of both hands to pluck the strings in polyrhythmic patterns (using the remaining fingers to secure the instrument by holding the hand posts on either side of the strings). Ostinato riffs ("Kumbengo") and improvised solo runs ("Birimintingo") are played at the same time by skilled players.

250px-gambia_kora_havard2And of course Yaya is one of those skilled with the kora. Blessed to be born into a musical family, he's been playing since he was young, first as a tag-along at various functions and parties and later as a musician. Clearly, he has the talent, but if you did not catch the live show today you still have some options to check the proof. Tomorrow night at 7pm, I'll spin the set again though if you are unable to tune in I got it here for you too.

Sound Travels: Live with Yaya Kambaye

Inspiring, dreamy and otherworldly are all adjectives I would use to describe this wonderful work here from Yaya. If you are inspired, you can catch Yaya every Thursday at Club Timbuktu (520 E. Center St. in Riverwest) for an awesome drum circle that starts at 7:45 pm. If you go, you may get a chance to pick up some new dance moves as well as a few tribal grooves as there are some dance lessons taught at the event. Otherwise, stay on the lookout for hhis performances around town, where he operates as the leader of a music and dance group called Xaalat(or think) Africa, which is an experience to witness live.

For more details and contacting Yaya try him at yayakambaye@yahoo.com

SEPTA to add West Trenton Line capacity

Written by

A $10 million TIGER grant will allow SEPTA to add six miles of track capacity to its West Trenton Line, SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch affirmed Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2013.

The right-of-way, a major CSX thoroughfare that also handles SEPTA service linking Center City Philadelphia with West Trenton (Ewing), N.J., is facing capacity constraints.

"We're thrilled to get the funding. The entire project will cost $38 million and that will be divided up between SEPTA and CSX — just how much needs to be worked out," Busch told local media. "We will get whatever extra funding we need for the project out of our capital budget."

Federal Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) funds will essentially establish one track for SEPTA use, though some mixed use is likely.

Kelly Clarkson's fifth studio album, Stronger features the original American Idol winner on tracks she says were influenced by a mix of Prince and Tina Turner with a bit of a country vibe thrown in. The album follows up her hit 2009 release All I Ever Wanted. Having begun work on the album in 2009, Clarkson collaborated with a handful of writers and producers, including Claude Kelly and Howard Benson as well as Jason Halbert, Rodney Jerkins, and others. Released in September of 2011, Stronger features the single "Mr. Know It All."
Professional Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.84) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "STRONGER is as deft as any Clarkson album, with 13 catchy songs that hover between pop rock, R&B and Nashville -- all of them showcases for one of music's most remarkable voices."
Spin (p.69) - "[S]he delivers tunes like 'Einstein' and the disco-glam title track with a country singer's earthy conviction."
Entertainment Weekly (p.70) - "[I]t's the perfect time for STRONGER, Clarkson's older-better-tougher-smarter album." -- Grade: B

Editors Note
Note Irene Cara (of FLASHDANCE soundtrack fame) and Lonette McKee star in this dramatic story of a musical trio's rise to stardom. Three sisters, who are raised in an impoverished neighborhood, have dreams of become pop singers. After a dark period which includes entering several dinky talent shows, they are finally discovered, and enter a world of glamour and fame. Like many though, they soon learn that there is a dangerous side to success, and they must find ways to combat the threat of self-destruction. A score by the infamous Curtis Mayfield adds soul to the drama, and the three women's tour-de-force performances are riveting.
Plot Summary
Summary A rags to riches tale about an aspiring soul group loosely based on the Supremes. Three beautiful, young, female vocalists try to make it to the top of the charts. But they encounter heartbreak along the way...and only one will be able to achieve her dream.
Entertainment Weekly "One of the best things to emerge from the film version of DREAMGIRLS is the release of an even better movie, 1976's SPARKLE..." -- Grade: A- 01/19/2007 p.62

ReviewSource Monsters and Critics
Review Sparkle fans can thank the recent Dreamgirls for finally getting this 1976 movie out onto DVD. Though its impact is lessened by the countless other "from the gutter to stardom" movies that have come and gone. The film has a television movie feel to it and the 1970s cinematography doesn't help matters...The screenplay is written by Joel Schumacher from a story by Howard Rosenman. It must be that nobody knows black Harlem like Joel Schumacher. I jest, Schumacher would be the last person that I'd think would've thought of to pen this type of movie. What the movies does have in its favor are the songs by Curtis Mayfield. Though some of them are poorly lip-synched in the beginning, they're great songs. They're even greater when performed by old pros like Aretha Franklin...The music by Curtis Mayfield does put it above the others. However, Aretha Franklin is not called the Queen of Soul for nothing and her performance is more powerful than the actual ones from the movie. Sparkle fans will be glad to see it, but the rest of us might want to consider a rental to warm us up for Dreamgirls.

Florida Receivers Coach Aubrey Hill Resigns

Florida‘s Aubrey Hill has abruptly resigned from his duties as the Gators’ wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator, just one day after the team started preseason camp.

Hill, who resigned for “personal reasons,” has been linked to imprisoned Miami Hurricanes booster Nevin Shapiro, who is at the center of an ongoing NCAA investigation into impermissible benefits and flagrant recruiting violations at the University of Miami.

Yahoo! Sports’ investigative reporter Charles Robinson, who broke the story about Hill’s involvement in the Miami scandal, speculated that the coach’s resignation is tied to the NCAA investigation.

In an interview with Yahoo! Sports, Shapiro alleged that Hill, who was the wide receivers coach at Miami from 2008-2010, brought high-profile recruits to Shapiro’s mansion on a recruiting trip in 2008. Two of the recruits, Dyron Dye and Ray-Ray Armstrong, later signed with the Hurricanes; the third, Andre Debose, is currently on the Florida roster.

More recently, former Miami equipment manager and Shapiro associate Sean Allen implicated Hill in reports of alleged violations in recruiting current Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

Hill has denied any wrongdoing while on the Miami coaching staff.

In a statement, Gators head coach Will Muschamp said: “Aubrey informed me he was resigning for personal reasons that have nothing to do with the University of Florida. Aubrey didn’t want to be a distraction to our team and our football program and he thought it was best for him to move on.”

Hill, a Miami native, played college football for the University of Florida. He was the wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator at Miami under Randy Shannon from 2008 until 2010, when he was hired by the Gators.

Florida’s offensive coordinator Brent Pease and graduate assistant Bush Hamdan will take over responsibility for the receivers for the 2012 season.

“I feel confident that Coach Pease and Coach Hamdan will step right in and provide the wide receivers with the coaching and teaching they need to be successful,” Muschamp told the media.

“Coach Hamdan played quarterback for Coach Pease at Boise State and is the most familiar of anyone on our staff with the terminology and philosophy of coach Pease’s offense. He played a key role in installing our offense this past spring,” Muschamp said.

Hill’s loss will be felt more strongly on the recruiting trail. According to recruiting analyst Blake Alderman, four-star wide receiver commit Rodney Adams was “shocked” by Hill’s resignation and has said he will re-open his recruitment. Ahmad Fulwood, another four-star receiver, said on Twitter that he remains “110% committed” to Florida.

‘Rebirth’ & Young Money Album Set for Dec. 15

After nearly a year-long delay, it looks like Lil Wayne will finally release his rock-inspired album, Rebirth, as planned on December 15. The Young Money compilation will also drop the same day, Birdman tells Rap-Up.com.

The Cash Money Records CEO did not disclose which songs would be included on Rebirth, but did say that Weezy wasn’t going to bring in the new year without firmly shutting the door on 2009.

“Wayne’s dropping his album [Rebirth] and the self-titled Young Money album on the same day,” reveals Birdman, who made sure not to forget Cash Money’s other projects. “We’re rounding the year off with my album, Pricele$$, Jay Sean’s album, All or Nothing, and Glasses Malone’s album, Beach Cruiser, which are all going to be released November 23.” Universal Motown also confirms the dates to Rap-Up.com.

In 2010, Cash Money will continue their chokehold on the game with albums from Kevin Rudolf, Drake, Bow Wow, and Nicki Minaj.

Chamillionaire Brushes Off 50 Cent Comments

Chamillionaire Brushes Off 50 Cent Comments

Houston rapper Chamillionaire is focusing on his upcoming profanity-free album Ultimate Victory and is brushing off media hype caused by disparaging comments made by rapper 50 Cent.

Chamillionaire dismissed recent remarks made by 50 Cent in a recent interview with Spin magazine.

"Let him [Chamillionaire] go sell gospel records, if he's so f***in' righteous," an agitated 50 Cent told Spin magazine in response to rappers cleaning up their lyrics. "I can write around the curses if I want to, but you can't tell me to write around the curses."

Chamillionaire, who recently released his street album Mixtape Messiah 3, vowed not waste his creative energies engaged in a feud.

"There are way more interesting things to talk about, besides, beef and dissing people," Chamillionaire told "I'ma leave that to everybody else. There was a time were the Hip-Hop battle was cool, cause it was lyrical or whatever, but now, its stale, people used it as a gimmick."

Instead, Chamillionaire will use his album as a platform to express his opinions on a number of subject's, including President George W. Bush.

"On a record called 'Evening News' I'm speaking from the stand point of a newscaster," Chamillionaire revealed. "I talk about Kobe Bryant, OJ, to Bush, to Katrina, I just shot a video for it. People will see it real soon."

Chamillionaire's hopes Ultimate Victory will raise the bar in Hip-Hop music and set him apart from his peers, creatively.

"Creatively, people are doing the same stuff," Chamillionaire said. "People need to set their own paths. Even with the labels, putting out the same stuff, and look at what's happening to the music! But I'm not feeling that, I'll continue to do what I want to do. Even if it goes against the grain or whatever I gotta do what I do."

Ultimate Victory is due in stores September 18.

The team is a mess on the defensive end. Ed Davis and Amir Johnson will do a good job guarding the power forward position. James Johnson is a welcome addition for defense for the small foward position. Demar can improve on his defense. Its the lesser of two evils. Dribble penetration out of the point guard position or the low IQ, poor defensive-rotating, worst rebounding center in the league. Address the need at the center position.

Of course not, let's be realistic here.

Now Bargnani for Josh smith (if he agrees to an extension) would be worth considering, but I doubt Atlanta would put that on the table. Most teams in the NBA undervalue bargs, or i'm guessing,
The problem is that some people in this forum think Bargs is such a rare talent that we can't live without, when he's really like Bosh. He's not "a #1 option that we shouldn't trade". Do you think BC made the right choice of keeping Bosh at the deadline? Nobody knew better, so at that time it was the right choice, but my point is that we shouldn't be infatuated with mediocrity, as fans we should expect better from our team, we're paying for it anyway. Now, a guy like Davis comes along and you pass him up because Bargs is already playing 4? Really, that's it? We need to make the most of what we have, just because a guy can put up stats but never his team to the top doesn't mean we shouldn't look for a change.

or else BC would've pulled the plug had the right deal came in. He's no idiot, he's a good GM.
Really, like when BC hardly worked anyone else out in 06 and just drafted Bargnani...5 years on, where are we now?

Will Big Tobacco's Former Bag-Man Really Be the Next Speaker?

A Commentary By Joe Conason

Thursday, September 16, 2010

With their loud voices and antic style, the "tea party" activists may lead voters to expect something new and different if the Republican Party returns to power. But observing the man who would wield that power if his party wins a midterm majority should swiftly dispel that illusion.

There is nothing fresh or surprising about Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, the would-be speaker, a figure so closely associated with corporate special interests that he looks, sounds and behaves exactly like a lobbyist. He golfs, drinks, smokes and maintains an unusually bronzed complexion thanks to company jets that whisk him away to his favorite Florida resorts. He seems as if he could have stepped straight out of "Thank You for Smoking," Christopher Buckley's classic spoof of Washington's cynical, morally empty K Street.
Smoking and K Street, of course, evoke the memory of Boehner's first big moment in national politics almost 15 years ago, when he performed a cameo as the tobacco industry's bagman. Back then, ascending the leadership ladder as chairman of the House Republican Conference, he was spotted handing out checks from the Brown & Williamson tobacco company on the House floor. This spectacle of corruption was so blatant that even some members of Congress were outraged and demanded that he stop.

Following a blast of bad publicity, he apologized, sort of. "I thought: 'Yeah, I can imagine why somebody would be upset. It sure doesn't look good.' It's not an excuse, but the floor is the only place you get to see your colleagues," he told The Associated Press. "It was a matter of convenience. You make a mistake, admit it and go on. I just feel bad about it."

Not bad enough to change his convenient, highly profitable relationships with lobbyists and their clients. Yet while other Republicans became notorious for their political promiscuity -- and sometimes paid a heavy price -- Boehner somehow escaped censure. His fellow Ohioan and former House colleague Bob Ney went to prison as a casualty of the corruption scandal that sank super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff, but Boehner actually received more money from the Abramoff operation than Ney. Tom DeLay, the former House majority leader, was renowned for his prowess in squeezing money from lobbyists, but Boehner raised more money than "the Hammer" did during a critical period in 2006. He even rented a Capitol Hill apartment from a lobbyist who had been hired to influence him -- a blatant conflict of interest that the House Ethics Committee somehow failed to notice under Republican control.

When his party held the majority, Boehner chaired the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, which sounds innocuous but attracts lobbyists like a cowpie draws flies. Overseeing a broad array of issues, from the minimum wage to student loans, he made the most of their interest in his legislation. He achieved a kind of masterpiece with the passage of a bill that favored the private student loan industry over direct government lending -- at an estimated cost to taxpayers of 9 cents on the dollar. Students, families and taxpayers lost in that deal, but Boehner's banker pals made out like ... bankers. Over the past two decades, he has collected more than $120,000 from Sallie Mae, the mammoth student loan outfit -- and enjoyed several trips to Florida golf destinations in the Sallie Mae corporate jet.

Boehner's career is a litany of such pay-for-play scams, which is what pass for achievements in his world. That the Republican caucus would elect him as its leader reveals the stale reality behind the populist rhetoric. Every Republican congressional candidate represents a vote to elect Speaker Boehner -- and to restore the same old policies and attitudes led to a ruinous decade of misrule.

piekarski_52 replied:  Sep 10, 2012

Thanks! It resembles a writers block. Where your mind/talent continues to create the same drawings over and over. It urges to draw something different, but exiting the comfort zone seems impossible. So you become "blocked" into the same drawings.

Katharine's Rose - 12" square by Melinda Miller
Welcome! You are browsing as a guest
Would you like to see 70 projects made from this pattern and much more? join Ravelry now What am I missing?

Katharine's Rose - 12" square

October 2009
Worsted / 10 ply (9 wpi) ?
5.0 mm (H)
12" square
This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download

This pattern is a 12” square and is labeled for the intermediate crocheter. It is dedicated to my beautiful granddaughter, Katharine. The inspiration for designing the square came from a photo of Katharine with a rose behind her ear. (See pic to the left.)

I was at the family cemetery showing my DIL the places where my dad’s family were buried. We showed her my paternal grandparents graves. There is always something so humbling that comes over me when I go to the cemetery. It’s my family. I don’t want to leave them. I want to be with them. I want to know more about them. They had hopes and dreams and thoughts and prayers. What were they? I wish I knew.

One thing I do have is a rose bush. My great-grandmother planted it after my grandmother’s baby sister died (see photo at left.) We don’t know how she died. It seems so sad. But the rose bush is still growing strong 100+ years later (see photo at left.) That day we were there, Audra picked a rose and placed it behind Katharine’s ear. It looked so beautiful. I snapped a picture of her. The photo is the inspiration for this design. I hope you enjoy it. :)

Lace / 2 ply ?

US 3 - 3.25 mm
2296 yards (2099 m)
About 56" (142 cm) diameter, after washing and blocking.

This is an easy, fun-to-knit shawl that is reversible and avoids complicated decreases. The construction of the shawl is a very old short-row method that has been modified to produce pyramid-shaped wedges rather than spirals. The points of the border are adapted to accommodate a trio of lacy diamonds.

A new Pixie pattern with a few modified changes/ adjustments:

This Pixie newbee is knitted as a flat piece of knitting with one seam running from the top of her head and down her back, her legs, which are made up as if she is wearing tights, are also knitted as part of her body the seam for these sew up as inside leg.

There are two versions given within the pattern for her hands - I suggest you hand-felt the doll very lightly - if you do then the hands with separated fingers work wonderfully - if you choose not to felt (which is perfectly fine) then I suggest knitting hands with closed fingers as previous Pixie’s hands.

Her hair is knitted as coiled tassels which are attached to the top and halfway down her head - hair in the middle of her head is simply twisted strands of yarn to give the impression of a full head of hair without the weight.

She is similar size to my other Pixie so all her clothes patterns are still compatible - the clothes you see in the pictures here are from her ‘Waiting for Santa’ outfit.

Thanks for reading!

Notre Dame Fighting Irish Tickets

Notre Dame Fighting Irish Basketball Tickets are now on sale! There is no other tradition in sports like Notre Dame. While ND is known for its football, the basketball team is making a name for itself in the Big East. The basketball is first-rate, and the Joyce Center is one of the hardest places to play: Notre Dame simply does not lose at home. The atmosphere is electric. The ND band gets the crowd fired up as it plays one of the most recognizable fight songs-the “Notre Dame Victory March.” The Leprechaun Legion has been voted one of the best student sections in the nation, and plays a key role in intimidating opponents. Follow your legendary Notre Dame Fighting Irish all season and let Razorgator be your ticket connection!
