Yeah I found the lyrics here they are:
Know not who I am or when I'm comin' so you sleep
Bust what I'm sayin'
Know not who I am or when I'm comin' so you sleep
They don't flow like this one
M-a-r-k-y, M-a-r-k and plus the Funky Bs displays was doubted at first,
Had to prove the defness
But proved it kid, so 'nuff respect to this
Skilled caucasion is what ya hear see
With fat mad accomplishments don't compare me
To anything less than def's not complete
So judge me not by my shade
Don't ya sleep!
I'm a ride this one to the fullest
From the Donnie D archive is where I put this
Def Duo track that backs me like a best friend
While D.J. T wrecks the twelves once again
Ashey Ace and Scottie G, oh #~!@! I can't forget my man
HB I'm Marky Mark yet to reach my peak
So judge me not by my shade
Don't ya sleep!
Coast to coast gets cash for New York to Cali
Objective though, is not collectin' dough
Respect to the utmost, but most disrespect without givin' me a check
But that's all right, you be peace
I'll increase the stacks
Like I said before greenbacks
Quick take a look, a small peek
But judge me not by my shade
Don't ya sleep!
(Chorus 2X)
So put this one here, in ya pocket
Guaranteed results, that majority will jock it
Ain't no doubts that the Marky Mark can melt steel
Now how do ya feel?
Shocked 'cuz I got styles locked up on the file
And dope rhymes by the pile
A lesson, now you know I gets deep
And never ever again...should ya sleep!
(Chorus 2X)

Multiple sources are now independently reporting that pictures of a heavily modified DualShock controller featuring a touchpad and topside light are actual images of the controller for Sony's next PlayStation.
The first shot of the supposed controller (shown below), hooked up to an apparent PS4 dev kit, surfaced on Destructoid late yesterday. Since then, a second image of what looks like the same controller from a different angle (shown above) has been posted by an anonymous member of the GameTrailers.com forums. Further, Computer and Video Games says it has confirmed the essential features shown in the photos with anonymous development sources, and the features shown largely match with previous reports of a modified PS4 controller.
The shots show what would be the first major aesthetic redesign for Sony's standard controller since the DualShock was first introduced for the original PlayStation in 1997. The central area where the Start and Select buttons used to sit has been replaced in the photos with a large touchpad area, similar to the one on the rear of the Vita. Some reports indicate this touchpad can be clicked for a bit of tactile feedback.
One of the shots of the controller also shows a lit-up blue LED section on the top of the controller, facing toward the TV screen. While this could merely be decorative, many are assuming the light will integrate with a new version of the PlayStation's EyeToy camera to provide Move-style position and orientation tracking for the standard controller. A Sony patent filing that surfaced late last year showed a DualShock controller equipped with two Move-style, light-up "balls" on top. That patent also showed a controller that could be split into two separate handheld units, though there's no indication of this in the current shots.
The rounded convex of the DualShock analog sticks has been replaced in the photos with new thumbsticks featuring a slight concave divot (similar to the Xbox 360 gamepad) which might allow for better grip. The digital directional pad has also been redesigned slightly to eliminate the gap in the center of the four directions (similar to the Vita d-pad), a design which could allow for easier rotational movement in fighting games and the like. There's also what appears to be a speaker grating underneath the touch pad area and a headphone port on the bottom of the controller, possibly indicating a Wii remote-like ability to transmit sound from the controller itself (and an Xbox 360-like ability to plug a headset directly into the wireless controller).
It's hard to see from current photos if there have been any changes to the shoulder buttons, but a VG247 report earlier this week claimed that the secondary L2 and R2 buttons have been remodeled for the new controller. The standard design of the four face buttons seems unchanged, at least.
The leaked shots show no sign of the "Share" button that some reports have indicated would allow players to easily share videos and screenshots from a running recording of the last 15 minutes of gameplay. This feature could still exist in software, however, even if there's no dedicated button on the controller.
Though exact dimensions are hard to tell from the images posted, the new controller appears to be a little wider than the standard DualShock design, primarily owing to the elongated touchpad in the central section. The full unit also seem a little thicker than the original DualShock, especially on the two grips that extend down from the sides.
Even if these images are of real hardware, the final consumer design might be slightly different from the prototypes that early developers have been given to test. In any case, we'll likely know more next Wednesday, when Sony appears set to reveal more details about its next console at the PlayStation Meeting.

The benefits of a good social life have been proven once again in new research. A study from Humboldt University points out that the final years of life, even when challenged by health problems, can be better for both men and women if they stay active socially."Our results indicate that living a socially active life and prioritizing social goals are associated with higher late-life satisfaction and less severe declines toward the end of life," said Denis Gerstorf, Ph.D., lead author of the research published by the American Psychological Association.Gerstorf and his colleagues analyzed data from more than 2,900 now deceased participants in the nationwide German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) Study, which included men and women. In this study, the researchers compared well-being, as measured by answers on a scale of 0 to 10 to the question, "How satisfied are you with your life concurrently, all things considered?"One particularly intriguing observation, the authors noted, was that while low social participation and lack of social goals independently were associated with lower levels of well-being, when combined they each magnified the other's effect.Valuing and pursuing social goals may contribute to well-being by boosting feelings of competence, concern for the next generation and belonging, Gerstorf said.Reviving friendships and renewing social activity could benefit older adults, particularly those who have been recently widowed.

Should I Use Ice or Heat for Pain?

|Chiropractic Care and the Benefits of Nutrition
As with regular, vigorous exercise, consistent habits of good nutrition are substantially supported by regular chiropractic care. Good nutrition provides the necessary raw materials for a healthy physiology. But in order to properly utilize these nutritional building blocks, the physiological processes themselves must be functioning effectively. This is where regular chiropractic care comes in.
In order to put your dietary greens, berries, nuts, citrus fruits, root vegetables, grains, and proteins to good use, a complex array of networks needs to be working in harmony. Organs, tissues, and cells of your digestive, circulatory, and hormonal systems all need to exchange information smoothly and effectively. Your nervous system is the master system coordinating all this activity, and regular chiropractic care helps ensure that your nervous system is functioning at its best. Thus, regular chiropractic care helps you get the most out of your good nutritional choices and helps ensure the overall health and well-being of you and your family.
In recent years, media pundits around the world have proclaimed the extraordinary value of so-called super foods. Blueberries, broccoli, and especially kale have been described as possessing remarkable, almost magical, properties. What is it about these foods that makes them so good for you?
From a basic perspective, adding fresh fruits and vegetables of all types to your daily diet is a very smart way to help improve your current levels of health and well-being. Fresh fruits and vegetables are so important that many national agencies and organizations have promoted the "five to stay alive" rule - these groups recommend eating at least five portions of fruits and vegetables each day.1
Fresh fruits and vegetables provide numerous health benefits, many of which are based upon the actions of biochemicals known as phytonutrients. Certain of these formerly mysterious compounds stimulate enzyme activity and others have actions similar to those of hormones. Many phytonutrients are powerful antioxidants that circulate throughout the body, scooping up and neutralizing free radicals. Free radicals are a normal byproduct of cellular metabolism, but too many of them will cause a lot of problems. Excess free radicals have, for example, been linked to development of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer.2,3 Blueberries, broccoli, and kale are categorized as "super foods" owing to the abundance of phytonutrients they contain and make available to those who consume them.
The takeaway is not to load up on kale, broccoli, and blueberries in an attempt to make up for years of less-than-optimal dietary choices. Rather, the goal is to begin, today, to implement a healthful, balanced food plan. Diets lacking fresh fruits and vegetables in general, and lacking super foods in particular, will not provide you and your family with the resources needed to enjoy productive, energy-filled days. Resolving to follow the "five-to-stay-alive" plan will add literally missing ingredients to your daily health regime. As you upgrade your nutrition, you're automatically upgrading the functioning of all your body's systems.
With sufficient dietary phytonutrients, you can help prevent chronic disease, strengthen the immune system, combat the effects of obesity, and obtain numerous anti-aging benefits.
The vast array of advantages that will likely ensue include more restful sleep; enhanced skin tone and muscle tone; increased reserves of energy throughout the day; and improved ability to focus and complete tasks successfully. Improved peace of mind will naturally occur as a consequence of these benefits, and an untapped reservoir of creativity may be revealed. Super foods truly provide super benefits.

So you want to work out the percentage increase or decrease from 981 to 8623? Fear not, intrepid math seeker! Today, we will guide you through the calculation so you can figure out how to work out the increase or decrease in any numbers as a percentage. Onwards!
In a rush and just need to know the answer? The percentage increase from 981 to 8623 is 779%.
Percentage increase/decrease from 981 to 8623?
An increase or decrease percentage of two numbers can be very useful. Let's say you are a shop that sold 981 t-shirts in January, and then sold 8623 t-shirts in February. What is the percentage increase or decrease there? Knowing the answer allows you to compare and track numbers to look for trends or reasons for the change.
Working out a percentage increase or decrease between two numbers is pretty simple. The resulting number (the second input) is 8623 and what we need to do first is subtract the old number, 981, from it:
8623 - 981 = 7642
Once we've done that we need to divide the result, 7642, by the original number, 981. We do this because we need to compare the difference between the new number and the original:
We now have our answer in decimal format. How do we get this into percentage format? Multiply 7.7900101936799 by 100? Ding ding ding! We have a winner:
7.7900101936799 x 100 = 779%
We're done! You just successfully calculated the percentage difference from 981 to 8623. You can now go forth and use this method to work out and calculate the increase/decrease in percentage of any numbers.
Head back to the percentage calculator to work out any more calculations you need to make or be brave and give it a go by hand. Hopefully this article has shown you that it's easier than you might think!

Completed project Payment systems for accountable care in the NHS A project to clarify the choices commissioners face in relation to payment systems for integrated care. Completed project The public and the NHS The relationship between the NHS and the public is complex. Although surveys show us that people are proud of the NHS and most are satisfied with the services they receive, it's sometimes said that public expectations of the NHS are rising. Against this background we have been undertaking work to explore the relationship between the public and our national health service.

Completed project How should the NHS be funded? With the NHS under huge financial pressure, questions are being raised about the sustainability of its funding model. Here we pull together a range of content around the NHS funding debate.

The first book in an award-winning series for children who are starting to read on their own
Frog and Toad Are Friends: An I CAN READ Book. By Arnold Lobel. HarperCollins, 64 pp., $16.99. Ages 4—8 (Grades K—2).
By Janice Harayda
Arnold Lobel called Beatrix Potter his artistic mother. If that's true, he deserves a Son of the Year award for Frog and Toad Are Friends.
Potter casts a long shadow over stories about animals who act and dress like humans but retain characteristics of their species. Artists often try to avoid the Curse of Peter Rabbit by denying its existence: They create animal tales so garish or absurd that no one could confuse them with Potter's exquisite naturalism. Lobel stays in the sun by taking the opposite tack: He nods to Potter by giving his stories neo-Victorian settings and clothing, making her era his own. In his "Frog and Toad" early readers, his characters live in fairy-tale cottages with period details — a potted fern, cross-hatched windows, and heavy, carved furniture — made fresh by a palette long on soft greens. This approach makes for escapist fun along with a psychological depth rare in limited-vocabulary books.
Frog and Toad Are Friends introduces in five short parables a pair of gentle amphibian best friends with complementary temperaments — the optimistic and gregarious Frog and the more pessimistic and reticent Toad. Like a long-married couple, Frog and Toad take care of each other in ways that are kind, natural, and amusing. In their first adventure they tackle small tasks that can seem Herculean to children — getting out of bed, coping with illness, finding a lost button, waiting for mail, and appearing in a swimsuit in front of friends.
Frog and Toad have a gift for telling the truth without being mean, a trait that emerges as they splash in a river in "A Swim." Toad thinks he looks funny in a bathing suit, a striped one-piece Victorian affair, and doesn't want to leave the water while Frog and other creatures are watching. Sure enough, when he steps onto land, Frog laughs. Toad asks why. "I am laughing at you, Toad," said Frog, "because you do look funny in your bathing suit." Far from appearing wounded by this, Toad says matter-of-factly, "Of course I do." He marches home with his head high, satisfied that Frog has admitted the truth, in a witty sketch that puts a happy ending on the tale.
Perhaps better than any story in Frog and Toad Are Friends, "A Swim" shows Lobel's command of character. Frog doesn't hurt Toad's feelings by telling him he looks "funny" in a bathing suit because that is what his friend wants to hear. His comment is a validation of Toad's view rather than an insult. And Lobel shows his sophistication as an author and artist in his ability to make such a distinction clearly implicit without expressing it in words. Frog and Toad Are Friends lacks the full-throttle drama of Mr. McGregor racing after Peter Rabbit with a rake shouting, "Stop thief!" But it has many quieter pleasures. Good artistic sons, like biological children, don't have to look just like their parents.
Best line/picture: The final picture of Toad, marching off proudly in his ankle-length, green-and-white striped Victorian bathing suit, in "A Swim."
Worst line/picture: None. But this review was based on the original 1970 hardcover edition. The literary and artistic quality of spinoffs and later editions may differ.
Furthermore: Frog and Toad Are Friends was a 1971 Caldecott Honor book. Arnold Lobel (1933—1987) won many other honors for his books for children.

Soul Legend Bettye LaVette signs to ANTI-
Bettye Lavette, one of the supreme voices in soul music, has been signed by Anti- Records. Her first album for the label will be released in the autumn.
Ms. Lavette will be working with artist and producer Joe Henry, who was also responsible for Solomon Burke's Grammy-winning 'Don't Give Up On Me' album in 2002. Recording sessions are scheduled to start in May.
This will be the latest chapter in a long musical career that started at the age of 16 with a tune called 'My Man – He's a Lovin' Man', recorded by Bettye in 1962 for the small Detroit-based label, Lupine. The record was picked up by Atlantic Records, the first of many nationwide record labels for whom Bettye Lavette recorded during the Sixties and Seventies.
Dave Godin, the esteemed English soul music writer and archivist, claimed: "There are dozens of really top-drawer female Soul singers in what is a highly competitive field, but few can match the flawless totality of conveyed experience that Bettye Lavette never fails to achieve.
"She is the consummate artist who can relate on every level. Take Bettye Lavette away from Soul music's history and there is a gap which no other person I can think of could have filled".
Although she never achieved the level of commercial success her extraordinary talents deserved, Bettye Lavette's music has long since made an indelible impression on soul fans around the world – in the UK, for instance, she was one of the pivotal artists in the 1970's Northern Soul movement.
Among the labels for which she has recorded are Motown, Scepter, Atco, Epic, Silver Fox, West End, SSS International and Street King. Her classic tunes include 'Piece of My Heart' – a recording that clearly influenced Janis Joplin's version of the song – and 'Your Turn To Cry', a mesmerizing deep soul performance released as a single by Atlantic's Atco label in 1972.
Anti-Records is also the label home of such artists as Tom Waits, Jolie Holland, Daniel Lanois as well as the aforementioned Solomon Burke album. Says Anti president, Andy Kaulkin, "The consistent quality of Bettye's work over the last 40+ years is amazing to me. From her creative song choices to the fire of her performances. she has always stood apart. This great artist has been seriously slept on, and we want to do everything we can to change that."

Murder probe after stabbing
A murder investigation has been launched following the death of a man on one of London's most famous streets.
Police were called by London Ambulance Service (LAS) at 11.49pm last night to Portobello Road in the trendy area of Notting Hill in west London following reports of a stabbing.
Officers found a man suffering stab wounds, the Metropolitan Police said.
Police have launched a murder probe after a man was fatally stabbed in Portobello Road in west London
The man, in his fifties, was treated by LAS, but died at the scene at 12.45am this morning.
A post-mortem examination will be held in due course, and next of kin have not yet been informed, police said.
They believe they know the identity of the deceased, but are awaiting formal identification.
Officers from the Homicide and Major Crime Command are leading the investigation into the murder.
There has been no arrest at this early stage, police said.
An incident room has opened at Putney under Detective Chief Inspector Nicola Wall.
Anyone with information that may assist the investigation should call the incident room on 020 8785 8963. To remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
This incident comes after Britain's most senior police officer Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe expressed concern over the number of stabbings at last weekend's Notting Hill Carnival, which is Europe's biggest street festival, saying some were centimetres from being murder.

LPL Financial (LPLA) said early Monday that the team of Legacy Financial Planning had affiliated with its broker-dealer platform, bringing over $150 million of client assets. The team, which is based in Rochester, N.Y., and includes advisors Tammy Mogilski, CFP, ChFC, and Brian Bedford, CFS, is also joining the hybrid-RIA platform of Private Advisor Group of Morristown, N.J., which is also affiliated with LPL Financial.
Previously, Legacy Financial and its advisors were part of MetLife. Mogilski worked for MetLife for 26 years and was recognized as the firm's top female producer and third-highest producer. Bedford had been with the insurance group as an advisor for about 12 years and had been named a member of its Lifetime President's Conference.
"This is a wonderful, large and seasoned practice that specializes in retirement and financial planning for Fortune-500 clients, and we are delighted that it has decided to align with LPL Financial," said Bill Morrissey (left), executive vice president of business development at LPL Financial in an interview with AdvisorOne.
According to Mogilski, the team spent about 15 months meeting with eight broker-dealers, deciding on LPL and then making the transition.
"We did a lot of research," she explained in an interview. "To move a practice after so many years is difficult, and we wanted the move to be for a lifetime. We met with LPL in San Diego and were impressed by the professionalism employed in taking care of clients and offering resources. It's really unsurpassed. We want to work with LPL now to grow and take our practice to the next level."
Legacy Financial has offices in Rochester and Shelton, Conn., and would also like to open another office over the next 24 months. "It's part of our growth strategy to add specialists in 401(k) advisory work, education and others to reach our growth goal," said Bedford in an interview.
"We know this is important," noted Morrissey. "Advisors say they join LPL for two reasons: one, the ability to help them process their business more efficiently and, two, to grow with the right capacity to really scale business and expand in the local market."
Legacy Financial is about 90% through its transition to independence. "Would we do it again? Yes, in a heartbeat," Mogilski said, "so it couldn't be that bad."
"LPL had done a great job, as has the Private Advisor Group," added Bedford. "They have given us phenomenal support. We couldn't imagine doing this without them."
About one month ago, LPL attracted the Level Four Group in Plano, Texas, to its broker-dealer and RIA platforms. Level Four was previously affiliated with Lincoln Financial and, has close to $1 billion in client assets; it includes about 50 licensed independent financial advisors, about half of whom are accountants with Series 7 or 66 licenses.

So much about blogging about our southern recipes is about memories associated with the great cooks who came before us, but let's face it. Not everybody had the privilege of standing on a step stool in their grandmother's kitchen. Some of us may even have had mothers who were full time career women with little time for home cooking, or who may not have even liked to cook. Enter Southern Living's brand new book, Home Cooking Basics: A complete illustrated guide to Southern cooking - good food made simple.
Touted as a Southern style Joy of Cooking, this illustrated Southern cooking bible, shows, step-by-step, how to make some of the greatest Southern dishes.

Just in time for holiday gift-giving this cooking bible starts from the beginning with a chapter titled "The Setup," outlining the tools and equipment any cook should have that will help to make cooking more of a joyful experience, rather than a chore.

From there the book moves into "The Ingredients" chapter with tips on purchasing, using and storing things like spices, sugars, salts, vinegars, fats and oils, rice and grains, corn and corn products, nuts and seeds, beans, cheeses, herbs, greens, and a wide variety of both warm and cool season vegetables and fruit, as well as fish, poultry and meats.

Beginning with steps on how to master basic food cuts, to other essentials from how to cut up a whole chicken, seed a cucumber, beat egg whites, prepare a mango, how to grind meat, and much more.
The next chapter covers "The Methods" of Southern cooking, where you'll find sub-chapters and the beginning of step by step recipes, showing you everything from how to make and assemble typical no cook recipes to how to bake, broil, braise fry, grill, roast saute, and steam foods. Each method of cooking provides both how-to steps, along with several recipes using that specific method. You'll learn things like how to master frying and then be able to apply the skill to recipes that are included, like Mama's Fried Chicken or Classic Fried Catfish.

In the back, you'll find a list of menus for all occasions, handy substitutions, charts for high altitude adjustments, a fresh produce & herb primer, arranged by season and a metric equivalent chart.

Ratites (Emu, Ostrich, and Rhea)
Red meat is now on the "wing" into innovative restaurants and some meat markets. The latest in meat products is from the "ratite" family of flightless birds. It's lean and tastes like beef, but contains much less fat. In fact, ratite meat is even lower in calories than chicken and turkey. Ratites have been around for 80 million years. Here's some information on the newest meat source in America.
- What are ratites?
- How are ratites raised?
- Are ratites USDA inspected?
- Retail Cuts of Fresh Ratites
- Are ratites "red" or "white" meat?
- What cooking methods can be used?
What are ratites?
Ratites ("RAT-tights") are a family of flightless birds with small wings and flat breastbones. Ostrich, emu ("E-mew") and rhea ("REE-ah") are members of this family. Ostrich is native to Africa; emu, to Australia; and rhea, to South America — particularly the grasslands of Argentina.
When fully grown, ostriches — the largest birds in the world — stand about seven to eight feet tall and can weigh 300 to 400 pounds; emu are about six feet tall and weigh 125 to 140 pounds. Adult rheas are about five feet tall and weigh 60 to 100 pounds. The birds are 95 percent usable as meat, feathers, oil and leather.
[Top of Page]
How are ratites raised?
Newly hatched chicks usually weigh about two pounds and are about 10 inches tall. Young ratites must be sheltered in a warm place for their first weeks of life. Adolescent and adult birds are allowed to roam freely in fenced pastures or pens. Ratites need daily exercise to avoid leg and digestive problems.
The closely woven wire fences must be 6 to 8 feet high because ratites can leap over a 5-foot fence. Ratites are fed on grain supplemented by pasture. Ostrich was the first ratite to be raised in the U.S. There are now about 1,000 ostrich growers in the U.S. raising about 100,000 birds. Emu are now raised in at least 43 states by about 10,000 families (3,000 are in Texas). The emu population is about a million. Rheas are the newest U.S. farm-raised ratite, but at over 15,000 birds, are the largest population of farmed rheas.
[Top of Page]
Are ratites USDA inspected?
Yes. Effective April 22, 2002, ratites are under mandatory USDA inspection. Establishments that slaughter ratites are required to implement and validate sanitation standard operating procedures and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) systems, as required by mandatory poultry inspection regulations. Previously, voluntary inspection was available for ostrich beginning in December 1991. Ratites are slaughtered at about 10 to 13 months of age.
[Top of Page]
Retail Cuts of Fresh Ratites
Ratite meat is sold as steaks, fillet, medallions (small coin-shaped pieces of meat), roasts and ground meat. The most tender meat comes from the thigh or "fan"; meat also comes from the drum and forequarter.
[Top of Page]
Are ratites "red" or "white" meat?
Although ratites are poultry, the pH of their flesh is similar to beef. Therefore, they are classified as "red" meat. The raw meat is a very dark cherry red. After cooking, the meat looks like beef and the flavor is similar but a little sweeter.
[Top of Page]
What cooking methods can be used?
The tenderness and texture of farmed ratite meat lends itself to light grilling, pan frying or roasting. However, because ratite meat is so low in fat, care must be taken not to overcook it.
Since ratites are classified as red meats, steaks and roasts can be safely cooked to 145 "F; ground meat should be cooked to 160 °F.
