FROM THE DESK OF

John Edwards Vs. Newt Gingrich, Same Crime Different Punishments

just a brief statement like I have committed a grave sin. Then they quickly move on in a unified front that agrees to never speak about the incident again. Last but not least Republicans stick to a stiff no resignation due to a sex scandal policy. Democrats however continually handle things in an every man for themselves manor always allowing themselves and fellow party members to be dragged into news conference after news conference. Where they answer endless questions about the incidents, allowing the press to pick them apart on a national stage. Now we can all agree that there is some honor in admitting what you have done and facing your demons head on, but its not whats best for the party. Demo-

hy is that in this country Democrats get burned at the stake for doing the same things Republicans do and walk away unscathed?

Take John Edwards Vs. Newt Gingrich for instance, John Edwards cheated on his wife during her battle with cancer with his campaign videographer Reille Hunter. As if that wasnt bad enough the cheat-fest was followed by a ton of horrible political mistakes including trying to say the love child from the affair with Hunter was his aides (Andrew Young) and not his own. After the truth came out Edwards was ostracized from political life and is now currently being indited on charges of misappropriating campaign funds to pay Hunter to keep quiet. Definitely a horrible mistake by Edwards but lets be honest this guy isnt doing anything different than what Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has done, except Gingrich did it twice! Gingrich entered political life married to Jackie Battley. The couple had met in high school when Gingrich was 16 and she was his Geometry teacher, can you say hot for teacher? The two began a courtship and where married in 1962. The marriage lasted until 1980 when Newt so kindly presented her with divorce papers while she was in the hospital recovering from Uterine cancer. Newt then fought her in divorce court so sternly, that she had to have the judge order Newt to pay her electricity bill so her lights didnt go out. Six short months after the divorce Newt married Marianne Ginther the daughter of a past Ohio Mayor he met at a fund-raiser. During his now second marriage Newt began a six-year love affair with Callista Bisek. Ironically enough, during this time Gingrich was publicly slamming Bill Clinton for his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Gingrich continued the extra marital affair with Bisek until he stepped down from congress in the aftermath of a huge ethics scandal. Directly after stepping down Newt divorced Ginther after she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis eerily reminiscent of his first divorce to Battley while she was in the hospital. Newt then married the object of his extra-marital desire Callista Bisek, who just for the record is 23 years younger than him. So I ask you, why is that Edwards is on trial and Gingrich is allowed to run for president? Is it because Edwards wife Elizabeth Edwards went on a public tirade after she found out about his philandering and Gingrichs wives were more traditional, silently fading away? I think thats part of it, but mainly I think that its how that Republicans handle sex scandals. Republicans dont answer any questions and usually give

crats cannot continue to lose good politicians like Edwards, Spitzer and now possibly Wiener because we refuse to play tough guy politics and stand together on a unified front ignoring these sex scandals as the insignificant tabloid style stories they are. The New Rule for democrats needs to be we dont give a sh*t about sex scandals, we stand together, we do not resign. It may not be the right thing to do morally, but at least this way we will be on an even field with the Republicans when it comes to handling these sort of ugly situations. You have to give Republicans credit for this, they play great team politics and like the Navy SEALS they never leave a man behind, no matter what hes done. Even in the case of Newt Gingrich who left two wives while they were sick and is currently on his third wife who wasnt even born until he was 23. Unlike the Democrats who turned their back on Edwards at the first sign of trouble cutting and running on him like he was a leper in the middle ages. The distinction is so great in fact that currently John Edwards is being indited and could be facing disbarment or worse, jail time. While inversely Newt Gingrich is currently running for President of the United States with his party, the Republicans, full support.

The Look Of A Cheating Man

What does the face of a cheater look like - famous or otherwise? The classic cheaters expression is characterized by a lowered head, or downcast look with the cheaters lips tightly compressed. They seem to be all the same. Almost rehearsed. Sometimes this look is accompanied by a deeply furrowed brow. For maximum effect, the cheater may also add tear-filled eyes. If you compare the facial expressions of several famous cheating men whose extramarital affairs made headline news, youll see that most of them are wearing the notorious sex scandal face.

Somebody Get These Kids A Skate Park Already The Chef Is Not Happy.
Younger generation still need a skate park
by: The Chef
The youths of Fulton County have started a Facebook Page to raise awareness that they need a skate park and they need it bad. So bad, in fact, that the group is called Skatepark in Gloversville (or in Johnstown whatever works) . The name lacks originality, but was enough to get our attention. Whatever works. Hmmm. Sounds a little bit redundant, no? I hope you said no. Because those two words prove just how desperate we are as grown ups, to have something for the youth to do around here. Sure, we have great schools, libraries, and clubs. We have Karate, we have the great outdoors. But do we have, Rad? Do we have foundational? Do we have an answer, yet? Are we doing eveything we can to keep our kids happy and motivated? Hey, whatever works now sounds like a great idea! In the past there have been numerous failed attempts at a skate park. The obvious being the large fenced in black top area behind The Caboose. It felt like someone put the pavement down, fenced it in and said, There you go kid, now shut up. The place was lousy. Kids had to bring whatever they could find to use as obstacles. They all failed. Someone even brought down a rusty old half pipe, but it just chipped up and eventually rotted away. Not to mention there were no transitions, no steps, no rails to grind. It was boring. It was pointless. It was unsafe. Thats why it is no longer.

A real skate park looks like the one pictured here. It is professionally constructed. It does have to be managed. I can see it having hours of operation, lights, first aid, running water, and management which could come in the form of volunteering. When I think of the possibilities I think of the old pool across from Dubois Apartments. It already has the framework. Just needs a serious concrete makeover. For the 6 months it would be open, I bet it would pay for itself in a few years. Not only in dollars, but the learning experiences gained would be downright fascinating. It gives children a chance to get along with other kids and shows them how to accept others for who they are. Imagine one of our own youths going to The X Games. Imagine how happy your child would be if he had something to look forward to on Saturday afternoon besides riding his skateboard down the sidewalk , only to hang around 20 other boys and girls who all felt like theres nothing to do. This is the reality people. I saw it first hand. I experienced it. Sure, you can get into the best colleges through our rich and plentiful academe, but do we have the tools to be individuals..?

Motorcycle Confidential
New bike shops holds Rock and Roll open house
by: Teresa Brett
According to the media, May 21, 2011 was supposed to be the end of the world. But for Phil Kilburn and Brian Baker, the day was the celebration of the beginning for their new motorcycle shop, Heritage Cycles, on West Main Street in Mayfield. Phil and Brian opened the shop on March 1, having bought the business from Tony of Tonys V-Twin. I met Phil and his wife, Michele, out riding so many times I was thrilled to see his smiling face when I stopped at the shop back in March. Truth be told, Phil Kilburn had been dreaming of opening a motorcycle shop for a while, and the sale of Tonys shop was serendipitous. Hes been a motorcycle enthusiast for something like 30 years! Phil will be the counter guy and in charge of the business end of things. Brian Baker attended The Modern Welding School in Schenectady, as well as the Power Sports Program at Canton University. Graduating at the top of his class in both programs, he humbly refers to himself as the tech. This guy knows his stuff! Kyle Kilburn, Phils son, will be rounding out the crew as the dirt expert catch him if you can at Royal Mountain! What a great atmosphere at the shop! The guys wanted to have the open house to set the tone, introduce themselves, and give everyone a chance to hang out and have some fun. The bikes lined the parking lot under partly sunny skies, and there were some passing showers. That said, when the sun did come out, it was HOT! The House of Vice, a premiere , local, hard-rock band from upstate New York, delivered a devastating mix of classic, modern and original rock. The band is comprised of: front man Jody Mills; guitar riff master Patrick Neary; drummer Jack Kelle; and bassist Dave Mastrianni. Playing regular gigs at the Bad Pig Saloon, they have a strong local following. The playlist included STP, Red Hot Chili Peppers, ZZ Top, Buckcherry, Black Crowes, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Deep Purple, Tom Petty.And these guys have fun as they rock the house! By the way, they will be at the Bad Pig Saloon this summer, July 8 and August 3, and on iTunes. Speaking of the Bad Pig, Phil and Brian treated everyone to the fabulous Bar-BQue talents of the Smokin Hawg guys from the Bad Pig. Pulled pork, hot dogs, hamburgers, sausage, but oh! That bar-B- que chicken! Surely these guys have found the secret to the perfect grilled chicken smoky flavor, crusty outside, and moist deliciousness inside. I pigged out on their chicken last summer at the Bad Pig while on a run, and once again, I was in Chicken Heaven! Along with roaring pipes, yummy Bar-B- Que, and rocking tunes, everyone was entered into a free door prize drawing; a sampling of what the shop sells: helmets, battery chargers, and Heritages very own shirts and ball caps. A 50/50 was held to benefit the Mayfield Fire Department. It was the perfect afternoon for catching up with old friends now that winter is finally over. The talk was all about this summers upcoming runs, road trips and of course, motorcycle modifications! But wait! If you missed it there is still plenty of hospitality to go around! The shop coffee pot is always warm, donuts on hand, and on Saturdays, theres pizza. This shop is the real deal the guys will be performing everything from whileyou-wait oil changes, to complete motorcycle custom builds. The store carries a full line of mens and womens riding gear with a good selection of jackets and helmets right in the showroom. Swing in for an extra sweatshirt and gasp! RAIN GEAR! If you have something in mind stop by and talk to Nancy Hoyt, who tends to the counter along with her faithful companion, Tinkerbell, during the week. She can help you find whatever you are looking for from boot to helmet, taillight to headlight! The shop has access to accessories from Drag Specialties, Kuryakyn, Show Chrome, Mustang and La Perla Seats, Saddleman luggage and bags, and more! Dont forget tires! Make mine Metzelers, please! Are you like me not mechanically inclined? You can arrange to have all you work done at the shop they will get you rolling in no time! And if you dont mind getting your hands dirty, they sell a complete line of filters, belts, and fluids. Need a part? This is the place to start! The guys are also connected to a myriad of painters, pinstripers, and custom seat makers. 80-95% of the work they do is on Harley Davidson motorcycles, but they also work on American V-Twins, and some metric bikes. Phils wife, Michele, is a great influence her custom, Merlot, is beautiful and fits her perfectly! Michele is around on weekends, and its always wonderful to see her. The guys are making sure that the female riders and passengers are well represented in the selection of accessories. And ladies dont be shy about stopping by with any of your riding, gear or mechanical concerns and questions. Phil, Brian and Nancy will be happy to help you out whether you are mechanical y inclined or not! Call the shop at 518-661-6815; and visit them on Face Book , at heritagecyclesny.com, and in person at 44 West Main Street, Mayfield shop hours: Monday-Friday 9am to 6pm, Saturdays 9am to 3pm. Sundays the shop is closed so that everyone can get out and RIDE!

Gloversville Outlaws the Sale and Use of Salvia Divinorum
by: The Chef

Bleeker Fish & Game Club 4th Annual Golf Tournament

July 9th Proceeds to benefit scholarship fund. Cost: $70 Includes -Greens Fees/Cart -Prime Rib Dinner -And T-Shirt Money due by June 24th For more information contact: Club: 518-725-4302 or Theresa: 518-725-6318

Gloversville Common Council unanimously passes vote to outlaw psychedelic herb. The common Council of Gloversville, NY met on Tuesday May, 24th to vote on a bill that outlaws local stores from selling and possessing the herb Salvia Divinorum, the Leader Herald reports. The proposed law, presented by 1st Ward Councilwoman Robin Wentworth, allows penalties of a fine no less than $250 and no more than $500 for the first offense of possession, use or sale of the drug. Hold on to your wallets mom and dad! The law was brought to attention after a Youtube video appeared with students from the local high school using the drug. The effects are compared to that of LSD in the first 5 minutes, wear off shortly after and leave the user feeling like a pile of smashed eggplant for the next hour or so. One user describes the feeling as a, euphoric high, mixed with anxiety, rage and suicidal thoughts. But other people who insist on WINNING only say It sucks when your out, dude. I guess that means you cant die from it, unless you are driving Which as most stoners say, is only safe on weed. Local resident Juan Doughkeets, who approached the podium describing himself as an opponent of war and murder, and laws that prohibit drug use, attended and pleaded with the council not to pass the legislation. This is an issue of banning versus education and socialization, Juan said, comparing the effects of salvia to alcohol. Stand up for your rights to use plants and put whatever plants in your body you want, Doughkeets continued. Nonetheless, this new law isnt a bad thing. It not only bans an otherwise, now expensive drug, but proves that our city can make laws by themselves, without using pricey legal legislation and third party representatives. Thats legal to do, right? Should they decide to ban other going-ons around the County of Fulton, they might as well start with fishing the Cayudetta. Which is stocked annually to help with the eco system, keeping the water clean of algae and disease carrying PCBs. Gloversville 1st Ward Councilwoman Robin Wentworth can be reached at (518) 773-2765.

Broadalbin Man Mowed Down And Left For Dead By An Off Duty Police Officer, Then Made To Be The Bad Guy. Wait. What?
by: The Chef
Local man killed by oncoming vehicle, left for dead. A car driven by an off duty State Trooper appearantly struck and killed a Broadalbin, Ny man and left the scene after the girlfriend called to report the accident. The Fulton County Sheriffs Office said the trooper, Brian Beardsley, 32, was driving with his girlfriend on county Highway 110 around 2:41 a.m. Sunday when he struck Chad E. Finch, 29, of South Shore Road. Deputies say the original call to police was made by an unidentified woman who reported that she saw what appeared to be a body in the southbound lane of the 1200 block of Highway 110. When police arrived at the scene, they said, the caller was not there. An investigation revealed that the cellphone caller was Beardsleys girlfriend, and that they were in the vehicle that likely struck Finch, deputies said. When deputies located Beardsley and went to Amsterdam to inspect the vehicle about an hour later, the car appeared to have been involved in an accident.

An investigation revealed that the cellphone caller was Beardsleys girlfriend, and that they were in the vehicle that likely struck Finch, deputies said.
The reports in local news papers reveal a scarred past of DWI convictions for the victim, and turn the blame on him. The autopsy now reflects that Finch may have been laying down in the road at the time of the accident. This has no bearing on the fact that the Trooper and his girlfriend called in the report, then left the scene Can you say major cover up??? SCAN TO WATCH NEWS STORY >>

Berlins Timothy Ray Brown Cured Of AIDS
The first ever HIV-AIDS patient is fully cured. by: BONTH
Timothy Ray Brown, of San Francisco, contracted the virus over 15 years ago, and discovered he was afflicted with Leukemia around the same time. While in Germany in 2007, Brown underwent a bone marrow stem cell transplant in an attempt to cure his Leukemia, according to the International Business Times. Since the threateningly invasive procedure was performed three years ago, neither Leukemia nor HIV have been detected in Browns system. Known in the medical community as The Berlin Patient, Brown says he hasnt taken his HIV medication since he underwent the bone marrow stem cell transplant. Nerds across the pond at dailymail.co.uk state that, Researchers eventually zoomed in on a gene called CCR5. That gene codes for a protein that acts as a receptor outside white blood cells essentially a lock. If that receptor isnt present, it seems that the HIV virus cannot break into the blood cell. That means it cannot begin the infection that eventually leads to AIDS. And concludes, saying that, the gene is really a mutation, and that DNA studies suggest it arose in the Middle Ages. Some experts have suggested it spread in response to the Black Plague, while others have pointed to smallpox as more likely. . . . mind boggling. Wicked smart UCSF doctors claim that 1% of Caucasians are straight-up immune to HIV. Brown received his stem cell transplant from one of these one per-centers. So there is not necessarily a cure for the virus, being that Brown received a transplant. Supposing the immune stem cells could be regenerated in a controlled environment may produce a cure. . . but that would be controversial wouldnt it. I mean, HIV-AIDS has only been killing people indiscriminately for thirty straight years. The disease continues to spread globally at a rate of 7,000 per day, the UN says.

Trucker Inflated Like a Balloon After Falling Onto An Air Tank As* First
by: Kid Chronic
Steven McCormack has seen better days as he is spending the night in the hospital recovering from being blown up like a human balloon. It all started when McCormick fell onto a compressed air tank nozzle ass first. The nozzle became lodged in his rear while turned on, inflating him to the tune of 100 psi! The compressed air was so strong that it separated fat from muscle, causing swelling in his head and fluid to build up in his lungs. PS Dude looks exactly like Val Kilmer once he got fat. Matter of fact, maybe this is how Val Kilmer got so fat. Only logical explanation. I mean Kilmer once donned the Batman costume, everything that is man in Top Gun. Now he just sits home with his pet Buffalo, staring at his top shelf wife all day.

Obamas Pet, Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

by: Natrayger
If you have never heard the term Court Jew before, it does not refer to a lawyer or a judge. Court Jew is a term that was used to describe Jews who gained social influence for themselves and their connections during the precarious Jewish existence in Europe. They served many functions for some ruling Kings and their courts, hence that term. These services included that of finance and other functions. Sometimes they would intercede with the monarch on behalf of their persecuted brethren. In other cases they performed these functions for personal gain like being able to live outside the Jewish ghettos and could even achieve nobility. From todays perspective it is unfair to judge the right or wrong of their existence and functions from the twenty first century in a country free of legal and other forms of religious persecution like the United States. But in this case I use it pejoratively about one person. That person is Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Obama has appointed her the head of the Democratic National Committee. Based on his statements and actions, a fair case can be made that President Obama has shown hatred and contempt for the state of Israel, but he has a Jewish problem. Jews generally favor the existence of Israel considering the alternatives which would be the destruction of that state and its people. Jews only make up around two percent of the American electorate but because they vote in high numbers and contribute financially to candidates, their impact is far greater. Jews also live in certain battleground states, chief among them is Florida. In 2008, Obama won Florida by some 230,000 votes out of more than 8,000,000 cast. No republican can hope to get a majority of Jewish votes for reasons that are inexplicable to me. In 2008, Jews gave Barack Obama 78% of their vote in spite of his demonstrated preference for associating with people who clearly are anti American, anti-Israel, and antiSemitic. He was a member of Reverend Jeremiah Wrights church for twenty years with the reverend making anti American and anti Israel rants. It is hard to believe Obama did not know of them. His participation in Farrakhans million man march would normally be unacceptable to Jewish voters but Obama is very clever. His technique has been to keep some Jewish associates around so that other Jews feel more secure. I imagine the reasoning on the part of Jews goes something like, oh, hes OK, after all, Rahm Emanuel who went to Israel and volunteered as a civilian during the 1991 Gulf War works for him? There is one problem now that Emanuel is the mayor of Chicago. Obama needed a court Jew and he found one, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Not only does she serve as a court Jew but she is a twofer, she is from Florida as well. This I believe is what was behind Obamas making her the head of the DNC.

Sporting ski masks and a hatchet, Lukas Peterson, Charles Iliffe and Nicholas Mercuri robbed a Dunkin Donuts on Main St. Hyannis. The three entered the store at around 9pm and demanded a paper bag out of a female employees purse.

Sustantivo, Spanish For Nerd
by: BONTH
Hacker-activists. Hacktivists. Spanish hacktivist nerds were arrested this week, charged with the hacking of Sony Corps Playstation Network, among other businesses and banks. The three suspected Spaniards belong to Anonymous, a gaggle of hacker nerds who describe themselves as, internet freedom fighters and have previously brought down websites of the Church of Scientology as well as Amazon.com Inc, Mastercard Inc and others they saw as hostile to WikiLeaks, says news.yahoo.com. Anonymous has responded, stating they were not involved in the Sony attacks, and moreover, were not interested in burgling credit card data. According to Spanish police, the accused, who were arrested in Almeria, Barcelona and Alicante, were guilty of coordinated computer hacking attacks from a server set up in a house in Gijon in the north of Spain, says yahoo.com. LulzSec is another, more narcissistic hacker group, fond of gloating of accomplished hacks on thier website and twitter. LulzSec was reportedly responsible for appoximately 40,000 Sony Network users hacked accounts. This is cracker crumbs compared to the millions of affected account holders. Said LulzSec, on its Sony hack, Whats worse is that every bit of data we took wasnt encrypted. Sony stored over 1,000,000 passwords of its customers in plaintext, which means its just a matter of taking it. This is disgraceful and insecure: they were asking for it. The FBI has yet to comment. Anonymous members have hacked the governments of Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Iran, Chile, Colombia and New Zealand, and police beleive theyre capable of actually collapsing a nations administrative infrastructure.

NFL LockoutWill We See Football In 2011?
Are you ready for some football!?!?!? by: Matthew Mahoney
Well apparently some folks are not.Over the past couple of years, much speculation has occurred over what the status will be for the 2011-2012 NFL season, as the CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) between the NFLPA (National Football League Players Association) and the Owners of the NFL would expire. The reason the CBA was not renewed had to deal with money, go figure. The owners believed they wanted more out of the pool of revenue the NFL makes, while the NFLPA believed the same. It was made quite clear that neither side had any intentions of budging, and the lockout became official on March 12th 2011. Some on the owners side claim that they are losing money and are looking to acquire more money in the new CBA. The NFLPA has requested to see evidence of their claims, but the owners refuse to do so. To me this shows the greed of the NFL owners who are not losing any money during the season, but looking to gain more money that could be used in other areas of the game. In these attempts to come to an agreement, there is one side in particular who is getting the short end of the stick, and that is the fans. For the fans, what is most important is that there is a full season of football this year. With the recently announced cancellation of the Rookie Symposium , it is the first sign of an event cancellation besides team workouts. When and if training camps and pre season games become cancelled, more magnitude and reality will be placed on the severity of the issue at hand. These potential cancellations will not hurt just the owners, players and fans, it will also hurt the communities that rely and thrive on the teams presence in their cities. Mediation talks between both sides are set to resume on June 7th 2011. This will take place in St. Louis in front of a court. As fans, we can only hope for the best.

Ohio State Quarterback Pryor Not Playing This Year?

by: Spencer Satterlee
Jim Tressel? Gone. Terrelle Pryor? Gone. The 2010 Big Ten Conference Player Of The Year will not be returning for his senior season at the Ohio State University. The 6 foot 6 quarterback received improper benefits from the owner of a tattoo parlor, which violated NCAA rules. He was originally scheduled to be suspended for the first 5 games of the 2011-2012 season, but now will not play his senior season, stating In the best interests of my teammates, Ive made the decision to forgo my senior year of football at The Ohio State University. One of the big reasons Jim Tressel, former head coach resigned from the university was because he had prior knowledge that Terrelle and some of his players were receiving benefits. Pryor has helped the football program a lot, though. He has a 31-4 record starting, and holds the rushing record for quarterbacks at the university with 2,164 yards. He also passed for 6,177 yards during his time as a Buckeye. But, Pryor might return to the game of football soon, but for now, the NCAA is still investigating the University, and players of OSU. This is ironic because its the same day that the University of Southern California, USC, Trojans got stripped of their 2004 BCS National Title for violating NCAA rules, for players, mostly New Orleans Saints. Bush received improper benefits, and was ineligible when he played with the Trojans.

Some facts regarding the NFL Lockout via The pigskindoctors.com

Nathan Horton Stretchered Off After Aaron Rome Hit In Game 3. Rome Suspended.
by: The Chef
Boston Bruins forward Nathan Horton was knocked unconscious tonight after a late and illegal hit by Vancouver Canucks defense-man Aaron Rome. Terrible hit and worthy of a suspension. If kicking Aaron Rome out of the Stanley Cup finals for his headshot on Nathan Horton represents the new rule of law in the NHL, well, its about time. Romes shoulder-to-helmet hit was a crushing blow, delivered after Horton had passed the puck. Even in the Wild West days of the Broadway Bullies it would have been a penalty. Nathan Horton has been the Bruins best forward in these playoffs and he will be dearly missed. You also have to think about his future in hockey as we have learned over the past few years concussions are something you have to take serious and have to take care of and we know each one is different. Aaron Rome was suspended and kicked out of the Stanley Cup finals. The first player to ever get suspended from a Cup game for more than one day. << SCAN BARCODE TO SEE THE MONSTER HIT

Plaxico Burress Starts Probation In Florida

by: Kid Chronic
Right here in my own backyard, Plaxico Burress will begin his road back into the NFL. The former receiver just checked into the Florida probation department today after serving a two-year sentence for bringing a handgun to a night club.

As a life long Giants fan, I have to say that Im super bummed to hear hes not going back to New York. Mark my words this guy is going to come back with a vengeance like Micheal Vick. Whatever squad gets him will be picking up a class A receiver at a super low price, since owners will probably consider him a risk. However if you ask me hes the steal of the century, I guarantee he lights it up this year. CRIS CARTERS PREDICTIONS>>>

Upstate Rap Group Delivers The Hype
by: The Chef
When I first met with the three artists known as ILL TOXINZ, I knew I was in for one of two things. Three guys who decided they were good at Karaoke. Or two, a similar, ordinary beat with lay over voice samples and mediocre lyrics about struggles with living in the Upstate 518 area. Let me tell you something. I was wrong and I got neither. What I got was just three long time friends, partners and businessmen who have a wide variety of styles that when mixed together, produce one of the grittier, bite your teeth into sounds I have heard since the days of Cyprus Hill. With an album called, Upstate Hype, you would expect the usual regurgitated Im better than you swag, but Toxinz presents their own brand of poetic fluidity with quality production that will definitely make some serious noise in the Hip Hop community. Their style is heard, but mainly seen which is why this group could fit well into any category of performances they should take on. Its raw, its hard, but it also embraces what rap was originally about, telling a story.

Watching Casz freestyle gave me one of the heaviest feelings in my gut you can get. I have been in some bigger studios too, but something about the hometown feel and the stench of determination in that small recording studio made me realize what time it was. Rapper Casz does not skimp on quality lyrics. Rather, he puts more emphasis on the beats and melodies, creating deeper and more intricate cuts, I felt. He tended to switch in and out of his almost hook like rhymes, to get you to listen to the story that he was telling. Their production company Next Step Productions says they are the next big thing in poetic harmony. Shows are being booked almost regularly for them now. Their single, Scream 4 saw its success at an opening for the actual movie Scream 4 recently. The owner Bruce called us up, said he heard this track we made, said it would be great to have playing as the movie came on, explained Burnz the stocky and haughty voiced, angles man of the group. After that, he said, We felt like we were getting somewhere. Burnz, went on to tell us how he came about this business while up in Lake George with his younger brother back in the day. I guess the story of rapping in the streets for money isnt such a tall tale. We (he and his brother Manny) just walked around, you know beat-boxin in the hallways at school. So when we went to where the scene was, we just let it rip. To explain all of their songs would keep me here all night, but just take it from vocalist and sound engineer Merced who believes that a strong mind, mixed with regular tuning of your vocal chords can get you where you want to be. He uses vibrato and scales to get effects of artists like Craig David. Harmonizing most of their songs where you will hear him in the background ever so lightly in one, but very pronounced in others. ILL TOXINZ can be reached at 518-763-1283 for booking information or to check them out online go to reverbnation.com/caszcasual.

And naturally, The Hangover was a hit at the box office, grossing more than $280 million, which meant that, in the business world of movies today, a sequel is meant to be. Is the sequel as good as the first one? Definitely not. Is it an enjoyable movie? In some ways yes, in other ways no. Will you enjoy it? It depends.

When Madonna and daughter Lola started their junior line Material Girl they were looking to target the young and unique. The cool thing about this line, sold exclusively at Macys, is that its girly, has an edge, and is affordable!

The 26-year-old funky, British star Kelly Osbourne is looking FAB! Shes lost so much weight and has managed to keep it off. Madonna said in a statement that Kelly represents a true Material Girl because she is edgy, cool, and has a unique sense of style that Lola and her love. Thats cool that Kelly is now the second celeb to lend her image for the line. I love the colors and mismatch. Its rebellious and still softly feminine. Kelly, youre looking great and super cute. I give you thumbs up for evolving into a true fashion icon. Love it. Keep reading Mrs. Glocks blogs for the latest in Style and Fashion.

How Do You Explain Sinatra Style
by: The Chef
Too often Ive heard the expression, He sings Sinatra style. From imitators performances in Vegas, to CD Covers that have pop singers trying their best to look like The Chairman Of The Board. Comparisons are tricky because they have to be perfectly parallel. Native English speakers often mess up sentences like these! You have to basically ask yourself a question that rewords what youre trying to say. Who does Michael Buble often perform like? Like Frank Sinatra, not like his style. If you say like Frank Sinatras style, English speakers would know what you mean but they would also wonder why you cant use the correct preposition. The best expression I feel works, is to do it as in to perform in. Definitely not giving the subject the honor of ownership. There was no one like Frankie. Often imitated, never duplicated. Even with the world misinforming itself, Michael Buble, will never have Frank Sinatra Style. He can certainly perform like Ol Blue Eyes, but never will he own that title. comes to having their style in clothing and accessories reflect their inner confidence and vision of themselves. They dont know how to pull their look together and it leads to an off track image of what theyre going for. Picture a financial advisor that dresses like a house painter, or a sales lady that dresses like a stripper, you get the picture. Mastering the art of dressing well for your lifestyle can be a challenge, but you can handle it. Much the same as when you see a picture in a magazine of a hairstyle you like, and cut it out for your stylist to recreate, you can do the same with clothes. Gather some looks you like from magazines. Think of celebrities or public figures that have a look you think would fit you and start a small file. When youre ready, take your file to the mall to stores that actually have salespeople that know how to assist you in putting it together. Then be strong. Some salespeople will try to tell you that anything looks fabulous on you. Dont fall for that. If you hate it in the store youll hate it when you get it home. Only buy things that make you look really good. When in doubt, dont. Sound like a lot of work? Its tough if youre not used to it, but there is another way. Hire a personal stylist to help you. Stylists have consultations with you to see where youre coming from and what results youre after, the good ones are great listeners. They look at you, your existing clothes, your budget, and then they formulate a plan of action. Youll go shopping together to match new things to what you already own, and youll save time and money and frustration, but most importantly youll come out with the look you want to back up your brand. The people that take the time to master their personal style create strong personal brands and have a distinct advantage over those who dont, and you can have it too.

If You Were A Product, Would You Buy You?

by: Fearless Fashionista
You may not think of yourself as a brand, but there is only one you representing you. Ask yourself, if you were a product, would you buy you? For companies, branding is about sharing and communicating their essence to their target audience in a memorable and meaningful way. It has to do with differentiating yourself from the crowd, and highlighting whats unique about the company and its services. The same is true when creating your own personal brand representing you. The process of creating an effective brand for companies AND individuals, starts with knowing who you are and what you want to communicate. Its about expressing your true essence in a bold, make no apologies manner, with confidence and clarity. If you like the idea of branding yourself, youll first have to decide what you stand for. Define your standard. What do you want people to associate you with? Credibility, creativity, competence, intelligence? Whatever it is you want to convey, there are lots of ways to support that through the way you dress and package yourself. The number one challenge I find people have is that they know who they are, they know more or less what they want to communicate, but they slip up when it

However, there still exists the gasoline guzzlers and the 10 miles per gallon SUVs that seem to always make the price of gas go up. I own one. Its not my fault. I place the blame on big oil. However, what is your fault will astound you. Here are some gasoline saving tips we at the Encore found to work best when at the pump.! Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer, gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening means your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role. When youre filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. You should be pumping on low mode, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so youre getting less worth for your money. One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL. The reason for this is the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated so that every gallon is actually the exact amount. Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up; most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

Tips For Smarter Fuel Economy

1. Avoid over-warming up of engine, even on cold mornings. 45 seconds or less is plenty of time. 2. Dont start and stop the engine needlessly, or repeatedly. The amount of fuel used when starting the vehicle is the same as running the engine on idle for a minute. 3. Avoid revving the engine, especially just before you turn off the motor; this wastes fuel and also washes oil down from the inside cylinder walls, contributing to loss of oil pressure. 4. Eliminate rough starts. Accelerate slowly and steadily when accelerating from a complete stop. Dont push the gas pedal all the way down. About 25% This is better for the carburetor to function at its peak. 5. Dont top off your gas tank. Overfilling can cause the gas to spill out of the tank. Stop pumping after you hear the first click. 6. Dont SPEED! Passing legal speed limit not only will result in an expensive ticket, it also causes lesser fuel efficiency. For example, driving 55 mph will give you about 20% better mileage than traveling at 65 mph or 70 mph. 7. Driving at the legal speed limit you boost your chances of having the green light all the way because of the way that the traffic signals are configured. 8. For manual transmissions, shifting earlier will save on gas. Maintaining high rpms in the lower gears can waste nearly 40% of your fuel economy. 9. Highway driving with the windows down will reduce your mileage by 10%. 10. Use the cruise-control whenever on long drives. Driving at a variable rate wastes fuel.
