So you've decided you want to adopt a rescue dachshund?
Part of being a responsible pet owner is doing breed research to determine if a particular breed is right for you and your family. We encourage all of our adopters to research the Dachshund breed before you consider adopting one of our dogs. Below is a series of questions that are designed to help you determine if a Dachshund is the right dog for you. This list is not all inclusive, but rather points to some characteristics that have lead many Dachshunds in to rescue and shelters. Not all Dachshunds possess all of the behaviors listed, and some possess none of them, but the behaviors are not uncommon in the Dachshund breed. Think about each of the questions and the impact that a Dachshund behaving as described may have on you and your family's life. We hope that after your self examination that you do determine that a Dachshund is the perfect dog for you, but if not, don't despair. There are plenty of dog breeds to choose from, but please do your research on any breed before you adopt. An excellent site to begin your breed research.
Are you aware that Dachshunds are usually not good with strangers? They will often bark at strange people, dogs, cats, or just about anything that moves. Dachshunds also love to let you know when an intruder has entered their domain. That intruder may take the form of a person, an animal, or even a leaf. Are you prepared for a dog that barks at a doorbell ringing on the TV, or even at a leaf rolling across the driveway?
Did you know that Dachshunds may not be well suited to a home with small children?
If you have small children in your home, please inquire about how any dog behaves around children before you adopt. Keep in mind that many dachshunds are injuried by accident by small children by either picking them up wrong, falling on them or tripping over them. Young children, under 5 should never be left unattended with a small dog and we will not adopt to families with children under the age of 5 yrs.
Are you aware that many Dachshunds particularly do not like large dogs?
They may get snappy with them or try to dominate them.
Did you know that you can never trust your Dachshund off leash? Because many Dachshunds maintain a strong prey drive, it is not uncommon for a Dachshund to see something interesting, and take off in an instant. You may not be able to call them back until they are ready to come back! From the many heartbroken owners of Dachshunds we find this to be very true. You maybe have had dachshunds for many years off leash and outside a fenced in yard and not had this happen but that doesn't mean it won't, better to be safe than sorry like the many we've spoken too. Keep YOUR dog on a leash at all times when outside a fenced-in area.
Did you know that Dachshunds have a mind of their own and must be taught that they are not the rulers of the world? The fact that they were bred to go after vermin with determination may also frustrate you if you try to teach them something that they are not interested in learning. Some Dachshunds can be willful, obstinate, and manipulative. You must show them through absolute consistency that you mean what you say. Consistency and rewards the keywords in all Dachshund training and that includes housebreaking as well.
Did you know that Dachshunds are said to be courageous to the point of rashness? They are intelligent and independent to the point of being stubborn. Dachshunds can be very jealous, spiteful and vindictive. If you make them angry, they may tear something up, go potty on the floor or your bed, they may get into the garbage, or any number of other things.
Did you know that Dachshunds were bred to burrow?
Burrowing translates to digging. If a beautiful lawn is important to you, then the Dachshund may very well not be the dog for you. However, digging can be minimized by limiting the amount of time your Dachshund spends outside unsupervised, but with some Dachshunds the desire to dig is almost obsessive. As well, Dachshunds may eat dirt and may also roll on things with an unpleasant smell. Rolling behavior is left over from their hunting days and is likely an attempt to mask their own smell. Rolling behavior may also be minimized by limiting the amount of time your Dachshund spends outside unsupervised.
Did you know that you must be careful with your correction of Dachshund behaviors? If you physically chastise a Dachshund and he believes your correction is unfair, he may growl or snap at you. Remember Dachshunds were bred to hunt Badgers who are nasty little buggers that will fight the Dachshund with tooth and nail and won't give up, but neither will the Dachshund. If you hit them, they are likely to "hit" you back by biting you. We recommend consistency and only positive reinforcement of desired behaviors. This combination works best when training a Dachshund. The quickest way to a Dachshund's head is through his stomach. Therefore if you want to teach a Dachshund quickly, use treats as reinforcement and be consistent. Reward the behavior you want repeated and ignore those that you don't want to see again. Moreover, training doesn't happen in a day or two. Time and patience are required to properly train a Dachshund. Please remember, that every dog is different, some will learn a new habit in a week; others could take months.
One of the most important and difficult training issues with Dachshunds is HOUSE TRAINING!! Dachshunds are hard to housebreak and may never be completely housebroken. Consistent crate training is vital to housebreaking a Dachshund. Sometimes a doggy door is necessary and sometimes no matter what you do they'll never be completely housebroken. This does not mean that Dachshunds are not a great dog, but can you tolerate a dog that could possibly never be house trained?
The important thing to remember when housetraining a Dachshund is to ignore the pottying inside and reward and praise the pottying outside and you must be consistent with this or they will never become housebroken. You only need to remember two things when training a Dachshund to do anything CONSISTANCY & REWARD!
REMEMBER THE KEY TO TEACHING YOUR DACHSHUND ANYTHING IS POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT, NOT PUNISHMENT.
If you are unable to deal with any or all of the above behaviors, then very possibly a Dachshund is not the dog for you.
If you can see past all of the above and still want to adopt a rescue Dachshund then you are on your way to the best experience of a lifetime and will have many more years of love, devotion, loyalty and companionship anyone could ever ask for in a dog. Just ask any of us that have more than one and we'll tell you it's hard to settle for just one. They truly are characters in every sense of the word.
Please remember, when you acquire a puppy, you are acquiring potential; what he one day will be. When you acquire an adult you're acquiring what he already is. You can train him and teach him, but time and patience are required.
We are rescue because too many people do not feel the need to spay/neuter their animals and because of that we have too many unwanted animals being put down daily in shelters. Please if you have an animal that is not spayed or nueterd for their health and the pet over-population please do so. There are many low-cost spay/neuter clinics throughout the USA.
We do not adopt to homes that have animals that are not spayed/neutered. The reason that organizations like AADR exist is because of irresponsible pet ownership/population management. We are committed to reducing the number of unwanted dachshunds by spaying and neutering all Dachshunds that come through our organization. Not only is this best for the future population, but it also promotes better health of the animal as well. If you have an unaltered(not spayed or neutered) animal please have them spayed/neutered prior to completing an application. After having this done, come back and apply with us, we'll be happy to help you find a Dachshund for your family. You are applying for an animal through a rescue organization, while you may not intend to actively participate in rescuing future dogs, we do hope you understand that rescue is more than just finding your family a dog. It is about a philosophy of education about, and promotion, of better population control to prevent unwanted dachshunds. Please join us in that commitment to these beautiful creations.
We thank you for your continued interest in adopting a rescue Dachshund. To fill out an application, please go vist our application page by clicking here!
We will contact you for a phone interview shortly after we receive your application. After your phone interview, we will contact your references and set up a home visit. Please keep in mind that we are all volunteers but we will work on your application as quickly as possible. It will help if you let your references and vet know that we will be calling to verify your application information. If you use two vets, please let us know so that we can get complete information. Lack of information may keep us from approving your application. A home visit is required for all adoptions. We also microchip all of our dogs and must pass the cost on to the adopter of $20.00+ depending on the company the dog is microchipped with.
It is best to have a dog in mind that you would like to adopt. However, if you don't, please let us know that you'd like a dog that fits your lifestyle and we will assist you in finding the best match.
Out of state and Canadian adoptions are welcome. Please be aware that WE DO NOT SHIP OUR DOGS CARGO. We have heard too many horror stories. As well, most airlines have discontinued the practice of shipping dogs as cargo. If you live outside of the dog's fostering state, we will attempt to set up a land transport for the dog. A typical land transport is composed of numerous volunteers driving a designated leg of the trip. We ask that the adopter, if at all possible, take the last leg or two of the trip. If we can't set up a volunteer land transport, then a transport for fee service may also be available for adopters along the eastern seaboard and down to Florida. As well, you are free to make your own travel arrangements to pick up the dog from the foster home. Thank you for your interest in adopting from All American Dachshunds Rescue. We look forward to helping you find your love of a lifetime.

“Impressive” was how the Committee Chairman, Mr. Vernon Derby described the record number of entries received for the 2018 staging of Jamaica Festival Song Competition. The competition, which closed for entries on February 28, the last day of Reggae Month, saw over 200 entries from across the island, a record when compared to the last 10 years, and an increase of over 200 per cent on the previous year’s entries.
“We are beyond excited to see the level of interest in the Festival Song Competition expressed by members of the Jamaican Music industry, which is reflected in this year’s high volume of entries. It also shows the country’s support for this kind of original song competition that captures the Jamaican spirit and promotes patriotism, especially as this song will serve as the theme song for this year’s Independence Festival. ” said Derby, who is also a member of the Board of the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC), the competition’s organizer.
“Now that the entries are in, the work continues.” Derby said, stating that the competition would now shift its focus to the assessment of the entries by a panel of experts, selected from the local music industry; followed shortly by a semi-final concert, where the top 30 semi-finalists will be required to perform on stage in front of a live audience.
Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, Hon. Olivia Grange stated at the Competition’s launch last November that the competition has been revamped for the 2018 staging and will carry an overall prize purse of $10 million, which will be shared among the performers, songwriters and producers, with the top ten finalists also receiving prize packages.
The Competition will also feature a series of road shows and special appearances, which will give the performers the necessary exposure and give members of the public the opportunity to get to know the songs and the artistes.
The Jamaica Festival Song Competition is one of the longest running original song competitions in Jamaica and continues to serve as a musical platform for cultural exposition and for entrants to make an indelible mark on Jamaica and the world. This competition, which started in 1966 has been the driving force behind some of Jamaica’s acclaimed singers and song writers and boasts past winners like Toots and the Maytals, Desmond Decker, Eric Donaldson, Roy Rayon and Stanley Beckford.
The Jamaica Festival Song Competition is being led by a committee comprising of: Mr. Vernon Derby (Chairman), Dr. Michelle Clarke, Miss Pat Reid, Messrs Phillip Clarke and Dennis Archer, who are Board Commissioners of the JCDC; and Mr. Andrew Clunis of the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport and radio personality Roxene Nickle of KOOL 97FM.

Music is not a Hobby it’s my life!Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Beamer Wigley
Beamer Wigley has had some exciting things happen in his career since his last appearance on Rivenmasterâ€™s Place on July of 2013. In addition to his regular performance schedule throughout his home province of British Colombia, Beamer won first place in the â€˜Best Buy Demo Warsâ€™ for single vocalist.Â Â Then last year in September just following his stage role performance in â€˜Whistle Down the Windâ€™, he was cast as â€˜Gavrocheâ€™ in the Soundstage production of the musical â€œLes Miserablesâ€ which opened last January.
Since Beamerâ€™s introduction on this website, Beamer has really found his place as a young actor. His performance in â€œLes Miserablesâ€ has given him not only greater confidence, but aided in capturing the attention of many professionals in the acting, film and media arena.
Beamer Portrait Drawing by Hisana Yamada
In fact last October, Beamer made his first ever trip to Nashville TN, where he attended a music workshop and then performed in some local venues, including the renowned â€œTwo Old Hippiesâ€ where he got to meet a V.P. from Big Machine Records, a real thrill for him!
Then in December he gained a lot of respect from the audience while performing outside for a Christmas light-up event. Although the weather turned extremely cold, Beamer did his full half hour set, persevering even when his fingers became too numb to chord his guitar. He handled it just like a pro switching to singing acapella for some songs, while allowing his hands to warm up enough to play again. The crowd appreciated his gutsy effort!
Beginning in February of this year, Continue reading “Beamer Wigley Canadaâ€™s Bright Rising Star!”


text: In the last newsletter I talked about the overall behaviour of our students, which is mostly very good. Like all schools, we do have a few issues with poor choices being made by the students from time to time. Please remember that when your child comes home with a report of an incident which happened at school, the first thing to do is to contact your child’s teacher. You must never confront the other student as no parent in our community would appreciate their child being approached by another parent. If the teacher can’t resolve the issue, then either myself or one of the Assistant Principals will step in. Having dealt with many issues in schools over the past 35 years, I have noticed a common theme, which is there are always three versions to every story. That is, Child A’s version, Child B’s version and somewhere in the middle are the facts. It is extremely important that the staff resolve any playground issues as we have a lot of experience in this area and we are not as emotionally invested as a parent would be, which means we can remain neutral and deal with the facts to resolve the issue in a restorative way.

TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind. (Feb. 21, 2014)—Several homes in Tippecanoe County were evacuated following severe storms that moved through Indiana Thursday night.
The sheriff’s department said about eight homes were evacuated early Friday morning. Officials said an ice dam formed in Wildcat Creek, causing homes to be evacuated along Barton Beach Road around 1 a.m.
Tippecanoe County EMA Director William Anderson said the area has a history of flooding, but they usually have time to prepare due to the slow rise of water levels. However, Anderson said the water rose quickly due to the ice dam, which occurs when water builds up behind a blockage of ice.
Sheriff department officials said another ice jam approximately 7 miles long was reported in nearby Carroll County and could potentially bring more flood waters to Tippecanoe County over the weekend.
It is unclear when the evacuated families will be allowed to return to their homes.

Following the success of my piece 7 Nollywood Actors Who Don’t Use Their Real Names, a number of you pestered that a sequel for their female counterpart be made and you have it right here in this article. In the entertainment sector, pseudonyms, pen names, and stage names are all common. A lot of well-known artists, musicians, writers, and actors adopt stage names for a variety of reasons ranging from better branding to privacy. Sometimes these stage names become so well-known that audiences mistakenly believe that the act’s stage name is their real name.
We’ll be counting down 7 Nigerian Actresses You Didn’t Know Use Stage Names today, and I’ll be disclosing the genuine names of each of these superstars as well. Are you ready to dive right in? Then let’s get started!
Chacha Eke, a popular Nigerian actress known for films like as The End is Near, Sound of Ikoro, and My Only Inheritance, isn’t actually named Chacha.
Charity Eke is Chacha’s true name.
Charity must have given Chacha as a natural pet name.
Tana Adelana, a renowned Nigerian actress, model, TV presenter, and entrepreneur known for films like as Baby Daddy and Body Language, is actually not named Tana.
Christiana Nkemdilim Adelana is Tana’s real name.
Instead of Christiana, she shortened it to Tiana and dropped the I to make Tana. It’s a better stage name for me than Tiana Adelana, though it’s not bad either.
Lola Idije is a well-known Nollywood actress who is most recognized for her role as Madam Adisa in the 1995 film Deadly Affair.
Toyin Afolayan is her real name.
If the surname Afolayan seems familiar, it’s because she is the aunt of Nollywood filmmaker Kunle Afolayan.
Moet & Chandon
Moet Abebe is a socialite, actress, TV host, and video jockey. While Moet Abebe is well-known by this name, her real name isn’t Moet.
Laura Monyeazo Abebe is Moet’s true name.
Chizzy Alichi is a well-known Nigerian actress who has appeared in films like Power of Madness, Point & Kill, and The King’s Wealth. Chizzy is a nickname given to her by fans and coworkers, although it is not her real name.
Chigozie Stephanie Alichi is Chizzy’s true name.
Chizzy, I’m presuming, is a nickname for Chigozie.
While it is clear that Oyinbo Princess is not her real name, it is the appellation by which everyone is familiar with this comedienne and actress.
Claire Edun is the real name of Oyinbo Princess.
Another individual known mostly by two names that are not her own: Lolo 1 is the actress and presenter from Jenifa’s Diary.
Omotunde Adebowale David is Lolo’s real name.

Marshall Bruce Mathers III
(born October 17, 1972) is an American
rapper best known by the stage name
. He is one of today's most
popular and controversial rappers, and a Grammy and Oscar-winner. He is of
mostly Scottish-American descent, and was raised in Warren, Michigan. Discovered
by rapper/producer Dr. Dre, Eminem is known as one of the most skillful and
controversial rappers in the industry, becoming a crossover sensation with his
debut single "My Name Is" while simultaneously earning respect from the hip-hop
community for his lyrical talent. He is noted for his ability to change his own
pace and style multiple times within one song without losing the beat, and has
been praised for his skill in alliteration and assonance. He is infamous for the
controversy surrounding many of his lyrics. With the enormous success of his
sophomore album The Marshall Mathers LP
following its release in May
2000, and its subsequent nomination for four Grammy awards including Album of
the Year, critics such as GLAAD denounced his lyrics as homophobic, while others
protested that it was also extremely misogynistic and violent. He is, according
to the Guinness book of World Records 2005, the highest selling rapper of all
time, outselling the legendary Tupac Shakur, who has had several posthumous
albums released. His latest release is Curtain Call: The Hits
compilation which covers many of his past hit songs, and includes three new
tracks. Mathers has stated that he is taking a break from solo work but is in no
way retiring, as he continues to produce for and collaborate with
Shady/Aftermath and G-Unit artists as well as rappers under his Shady Records
Mathers was born in St. Joseph, Missouri (near Kansas City) to parents
Deborah "Debbie" Mathers-Briggs and Marshall Mathers Junior, and spent most of
his childhood moving back and forth between Kansas City, and Metro Detroit. His
father abandoned the family when Marshall was 15 months old, and the two have
not had contact since, (attempts by his father to contact him after his rise to
fame have been rejected.) Constantly moving from home to home, he frequently
changed schools, often finding himself to be an outcast in the new communities,
and frequently fell victim to bullying. On the song "Brain Damage," he recounted
(in greatly exaggerated form) being assaulted in grade school by a classmate
named D'Angelo Bailey. Bailey sued soon after the song was released, accusing Mathers of libel and privacy infringement; the suit was eventually dismissed in
By most accounts, the Mathers family was extremely poor, which was the
primary reason for their constant moves, during which Marshall and his mother
would often find themselves living in public housing, mobile homes, and under
the care of relatives. During this time, Debbie Mathers was legally taking the
prescription drugs Vicodin and Valium; Mathers later claimed in numerous
interviews and songs that his mother was abusing the drugs, to which she
retaliated with a lawsuit pressing defamation charges (see below). In the song
"Cleaning Out My Closet" (The Eminem Show, 2002), Mathers also accuses
his mother of having Munchausen syndrome by proxy, adding that "my whole life I
was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't." This was not the first time
someone had suggested she had the disorder; a social worker had made similar
comments following a 1996 investigation of her mistreatment of her second child,
Before dropping out of Lincoln High School in Warren at the age of 17 (after
failing ninth grade three times), Mathers made a number of significant
acquaintances at the school. This included fellow rapper Proof, who was to
become one of his closest friends, and future wife Kimberly Ann "Kim" Scott,
with whom he soon developed a long-term relationship. When she became pregnant,
Mathers started working on getting a record deal to support his new family; He
discusses this in "Never Far" (Infinite, 1996), saying "I got a baby on
the way, I don't even got a car...I still stay with my moms...we gotta make some
hit records or something [because] I'm tired of being broke..." When the
Infinite album failed to generate the revenue and acclaim he had hoped for,
she ended their relationship, preventing him from seeing his newborn child, a
daughter named Hailie Jade Scott (born December 25, 1995); distraught, he
attempted suicide with an overdose of Tylenol. After the attempt failed, he
resumed his efforts to succeed in the music industry and reconcile with his
ex-girlfriend. He ultimately succeeded in doing both, marrying her on June
14, 1999, in St. Joseph, Missouri. Mathers would go on to mention his daughter
extensively in some of his songs, including "'97 Bonnie & Clyde" (The Slim
Shady LP, 1999), which takes the form of a one-sided dialogue with Hailie,
as well as "Hailie's Song" (The Eminem Show, 2002), "Mockingbird"
(‘‘Encore’’, 2004), and "When I'm Gone" (Curtain Call: The Hits, 2005),
all of which are proclamations of his love and dedication to her. In addition,
he samples her voice in the track "My Dad's Gone Crazy" (The Eminem Show,
Interested in rap from a young age, Mathers began performing as early as 13,
later gaining some popularity with a group, Soul Intent. In 1996, he released
his first independent album, named Infinite (of which he sold about 500
copies out of the back of his car.) The album received no airplay and a mixed
critical response, with people claiming Eminem's rapping style sounded too
similar to Nas and AZ. Drawing on the negative experiences of his life, in 1997
he followed Infinite with The Slim Shady EP demo, which saw his
lyrics take a decidedly darker turn, in songs like "No One's Iller" and "Murder
Murder", the latter in which he talks about having to commit crimes to feed his
daughter. He became famous in the hip-hop underground because of his
distinctive, cartoonish style and the fact that he was white in a predominantly
black genre. Fellow rapper Snoop Dogg referred to him as rap's "great white
American hope" in the song "Bitch Please II."
It is said that rap artist and producer Dr. Dre found Mathers' demo on
Interscope Records president Jimmy Iovine's garage floor. While this did not
directly lead to a recording contract, Dr. Dre agreed to sign Mathers when he
won second place versus Otherwize at the 1997 Rap Olympics freestyle battle.
Other sources state that an executive at the offices of Interscope handed the
demo to Iovine who passed it to Dre, which resulted in a contract.
Entering the mainstream
At Interscope, Mathers released The Slim Shady LP, which went on to be
one of the most popular albums of 1999, going triple platinum by the end of the
year. With the album's enormous popularity came controversy surrounding many of
the album's lyrics. In "'97 Bonnie and Clyde", he describes a trip with his
infant daughter, disposing of the body of his wife. Another song, "Guilty
Conscience," ends with him encouraging a man to murder his wife and her lover.
The Marshall Mathers LP was released in May 2000, quickly selling two
million copies. The first single released from the album, The Real Slim Shady,
was a huge hit, thanks in part to the catchy rhythm and chorus line, "Will the
real Slim Shady please stand up?" (adapted from the catch phrase of the TV quiz
show To Tell the Truth). It also created some buzz by insulting
celebrities and making dubious claims about them; he implies, among other
things, that Christina Aguilera performed oral sex on Fred Durst (of Limp
Bizkit) and Carson Daly (of MTV's Total Request Live). In his second
single, "The Way I Am," he reveals to his fans the pressures from his record
company to top "My Name Is" and sell more records, and dismisses the alleged
controversial link between music such as that of Marilyn Manson and shootings
such as at Columbine High School as absurd, instead blaming the parents. In the
third single, "Stan" (which samples Dido's "Thank You"), Eminem attempts to deal
with his new-found fame, taking on the perspective of a deranged fan who kills
himself and his pregnant girlfriend, mirroring one of the songs on The Slim
Mathers has achieved six UK #1 singles, more than any other rapper, and has
also had the most #1 singles in the UK in the 21st century by an American
Mathers' rise to celebrity ushered the beginning of his numerous legal
troubles. The first of these was his mother's lawsuit against him in September
of that year. The lawsuit was motivated by comments on her drug use made in song
My Name Is, specifically the lyric "I just found out my mom does more
dope than I do," and similar accusations in numerous interviews. She refuted the
statements and demanded more than $10 million in damages for defamation in two
lawsuits. After rumors of Debbie dropping the suit, she reached a settlement
with her son in 2001 for $25,000, with over $23,000 of it going to her former
attorney, Fred Gibson, by a court order. Debbie's request for reconsideration
of the settlement was denied by a judge. Mathers' resentful reflections on
the case can be heard on the song "Marshall Mathers" (The Marshall Mathers LP,
2000) in the lyrics "my f...in' bitch mom is suing for 10 million/ she must want
a dollar for every pill I've been stealin'."
With Mathers' rise to stardom, new disputes arose between him and his wife,
centered around her dissatisfaction over the graphic fictional account of her
husband murdering her and dumping her body in a lake in the songs "'97 Bonnie &
Clyde" and "Kim" (The Marshall Mathers LP, 2000). The tension between the
couple came to a boiling point when he witnessed her kissing another man, one
John Guerrera, outside the Hot Rocks Café in Warren on June 4, 2000. Mathers
threatened Guerrera with an unloaded 9 mm semi-automatic firearm and allegedly
proceeded to pistol-whip him. Guerrera is mentioned in "Sing For The Moment"
on The Eminem Show, in the line "you're full of s... too, Guerrera, that
was a fist that hit you!" On the previous day, Mathers was allegedly
involved in a heated dispute in Royal Oak, Michigan with Douglas Dail, an
associate of the rap group Insane Clown Posse, with whom Mathers had an ongoing
rivalry. On The Marshall Mathers LP, on the track "Marshall Mathers,"
Eminem calls ICP's Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent Jay "Faggot 2 Dope," and "Silent
Gay," as well "you two little flaming faggots." Furthermore, a skit on this
album features Mathers' character "Ken Keniff" (a stereotypically mincing,
predatory homosexual) receiving oral sex from the ICP pair. During the
confrontation, Mathers was observed to be holding a gun, which he kept pointed
at the ground. Being taken into police custody during the Hot Rocks Café
incident, Mathers was charged with misdemeanor charges of brandishing a firearm
in public, assault with a dangerous weapon, and two counts of concealed weapon
possession, in two separate trials. After a plea bargain in the John Guerrera
case, which concluded on April 10, 2001, Mathers pleaded guilty to weapon
possession in exchange for the assault charges being dropped, receiving two
years of probation, and was ordered to pay $100,000 in damages at the
conclusion of the case evaluation in 2002. In the Dail case, he pleaded
nolo contendere to the charges of firearm possession and brandishing,
receiving one year of probation, enforced concurrently with the sentence from
the first case. He would later recount the former incident in the song
"Soldier" (The Eminem Show, 2002) and the preceding interlude "The Kiss".
While the trials were in the beginning stages, things were only getting worse
for Mathers, when on July 7, 2000, Kim attempted suicide in the couple's
Sterling Heights, Michigan home by cutting her wrists. (Mathers talks about this
incident from Hailie's point of view in the song "When I'm Gone.") This prompted
Marshall to file for divorce a few months later, which was promptly
countered by Kim with a lawsuit that sought to deny him custody of their
daughter and $10 million in defamation damages. Within weeks, however, they
settled the lawsuit, and agreed to joint custody of their daughter, with Kim
gaining physical child custody, granting him "liberal visitation rights." By
the end of the year, the couple reconciled, agreeing to dismiss divorce claims
and live together. Mathers mentions her suicide attempt and the Hot Rocks
Café incident on the Xzibit song "Don't Approach Me" (Restless, 2000).
The reconciliation, however, would not last, as she filed for divorce in
2001, which was finalized in October of that year, granting joint physical and
legal custody of Hailie to both parties, as well as requiring Mathers to make
child support payments. There was further turbulence in their relationship
when Kim was sentenced to two years of probation for felony cocaine possession
in 2003. This was not her first such incident, as she had previously faced
similar charges in 2001, although they were eventually dropped. The incident
was not to be her last, however, as she was sentenced to 30 days in jail in
2004, after failing a drug test for cocaine while still on probation. Mathers makes numerous references to her cocaine use on the Encore album,
including "you're a f...ing cokehead slut" and "mama developed a habit" in the
songs "Puke" and "Mockingbird," respectively. Their relationship since their
divorce remained in an indecisive "on-again, off-again" state for a long time.
Mathers was no stranger to drugs and alcohol, as suggested by a large number
of his songs, including "Drug Ballad" and "Under the Influence." The song "I'm
Shady" (The Slim Shady LP, 1999) includes the explanatory line "well, I
do take pills (ecstasy or prescription drugs), don't do speed / don't do
crack, don't do coke / I do smoke weed / don't do smack / I do do shrooms, do
drink beer / I just wanna make a few things clear." Other tracks do suggest
cocaine use, although he has never been in a law enforcement incident involving
drugs. However, with the sentence of two years of probation taking effect in
2001, during which he was subject to mandatory regular drug testing, his
recreational drug use was put to an end. This fact is supported with references
to his drug use in his music, which all but disappeared after 2001, and comments
by band mate Proof, who states that Mathers "sobered up". However, with
rising pressures and workload in his professional career, he found it difficult
to get the rest he wanted, and turned to Zolpidem sleeping pills for relief. His
use of the drug eventually became so severe, that in August 2005, he cancelled
the European leg of his ongoing tour, and checked into a drug rehabilitation
clinic for treatment.
Remarriage and Second Divorce
Mathers remarried Kim on January 14, 2006 in Michigan. His best man was
longtime friend and D12 member Proof, while Kim's maid of honor was their
daughter Hailie. They walked down the aisle to Mathers' song "Mockingbird."
Guests at the wedding included the other members of D12, as well as the members
of G-Unit. Kim's mother attended the wedding, while Mathers' mother did not.
However, less than 11 weeks after remarrying Kim, he filed for divorce at the
Macomb County clerk's office., citing "a breakdown in the marriage
relationship." On April 5, 2006, the news was leaked to the Detroit Free
Press and MTV's Total Request Live.
Themes and topics
Eminem's songs typically feature anger, thoughts, questions, and statements
about his life. Common topics are:
- Drugs and self-abuse
- His mother and childhood
- Being white in a black business/culture and growing up in a black
- His on-again, off-again relationship with Kim Mathers
- Disgust with groupies/dating
- Growing up in poverty-ridden Detroit
- Raising his daughter and niece
- America and the government
- Lawsuits and criminal cases
- Poking fun at celebrities and American pop culture
- Annoyance and/or amusement with people's literal interpretation of his
- His daughter Halie
With the enormous popularity of The Marshall Mathers LP, the
controversy surrounding him grew even larger, especially when it was nominated
for a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Though Mathers had always claimed that
his lyrics were not meant to be taken seriously, and that he had nothing against
homosexuals or women, the gay rights group GLAAD organized a boycott of the
Grammys. Mathers responded to this by singing "Stan" on-stage with openly gay
singer Elton John, ending the performance by hugging John. This gesture failed
to appease many of his critics. In later interviews, he said he did not know
Elton John was gay, but that he respected him: "Of course I'd heard of Elton
John," Eminem said, "but I didn't know he was gay. I didn't know anything about
his personal life. I didn't really care, but being that he was gay and he had my
back, I think it made a statement in itself saying that he understood where I
was coming from." Mathers may have gotten the idea from Axl Rose of Guns n'
Roses who had performed with John on two separate instances in the early 1990s
to dispel criticism of homophobia in the song "One in a Million."
The two songs most often cited as examples in The Marshall Mathers LP
of Mathers' supposed misogyny were "Kill You" and "Kim." Critics claimed the
former portrayed extremely violent abuse against women in general and contained
a line about him raping his own mother. The latter is not so much a song as it
is a reenactment of a fictional fight between him and his wife, although his
shouted, hoarse lines do rhyme. Despite his conflicting expressions of love and
hate throughout the track, he ends up slitting Kim's throat at the end,
accompanied by cries of "Bleed, bitch, bleed!" Several people objected to the
graphic description of domestic violence. On the clean version of the CD, the
track was removed and replaced with a song almost entirely devoid of profanity
called "The Kids."
Since Mathers' rapid ascent to fame, tell-all biographies of varying quality
have been published, including Shady Bizzness by his former bodyguard
Byron Williams. Mathers himself has written a book called Angry Blonde,
released in 2000, where he reveals the emotions and intent behind the lyrics in
the Marshall Mathers LP, and describes his passion for and approach to
As one of members of the rap group D12, Mathers appeared on the album
Devil's Night, released in 2001. The album was certified multi-platinum. The
album contained the single "Purple Pills", renamed "Purple Hills" for radio
play. Another song, "Blow My Buzz", was on the soundtrack for the film The
Wash (2001), in which Mathers had a cameo appearance.
Mathers' third major album, The Eminem Show was released in summer
2002. It featured the single "Without Me," an apparent sequel to "The Real Slim
Shady," in which he makes derogatory comments about boy bands, Limp Bizkit,
Moby, and Lynne Cheney, among others. The album reflected on the impact of his
rise to fame, his relationship with his wife and daughter, and his status in the
hip-hop community. He also addresses the charges he faced over assaulting a
bouncer he saw kissing his wife in 2000. While there is clear anger present on
several tracks, this album was considerably less inflammatory than the previous,
and as such did not face any protests of misogyny and homophobia that had
plagued The Marshall Mathers LP.
On November 19, 2003, new controversy surrounded Mathers when a cassette tape
was played during a press conference held by The Source magazine. The
cassette featured Mathers performing a freestyle rap in which he made
disparaging remarks about black women, calling them "dumb chicks" in comparison
to white women and claimed they are only after money. Other racial slurs and
remarks were on the tape, including the use of the word "nigger." Mathers
claimed he made the recording after breaking up with his black girlfriend in
1988; however The Source claimed the tapes were recorded in 1994, and old
friends of Eminem's claimed he never had a black girlfriend. Mathers later filed
a lawsuit against The Source for alleged copyright infringement. He also
publicly apologized for the tape.
On December 8, 2003, the United States Secret Service admitted it was
"looking into" allegations that Mathers had threatened the President of the
United States after the unreleased song "We As Americans" leaked onto the
Internet. The lyrics in question: "f... money / I don't rap for dead presidents
/ I'd rather see the president dead / It's never been said, but I set
precedents...". The song was being recorded to possibly be on Encore, but
wound up on a bonus CD accompanying the album Encore. The second use of
the word "dead" was edited out of that version.
Then, in 2004, Eminem made the music video "My Band" with D12. The song was
the band's sarcastic response to the media's frequent portrayal of D12 as
Eminem's band, giving little or no credit to its other members. The video
contained various parodies, including that of the Super Bowl XXXVIII Halftime
controversy, and of 50 Cent's "In Da Club" video.
On October 12, 2004, a week after the release of "Just Lose It", Eminem's
first single off Encore, Michael Jackson called into the Los
Angeles-based Steve Harvey radio show to report his displeasure with the video,
which parodies Jackson's child molestation trial, plastic surgery, and an
incident in which Jackson's hair caught on fire while filming a Pepsi commercial
in 1984. The lyrics to "Just Lose It" also refer to Jackson's legal troubles.
Many of Jackson's supporters and friends spoke out about the video, including
Stevie Wonder, who called the video "kicking a man while he's down" and
"bulls...", and Steve Harvey who declared, "Eminem has lost his ghetto pass.
We want the pass back." In the video, Eminem also parodied Pee Wee Herman,
MC Hammer, and a Blonde-Ambition-touring Madonna.
Black Entertainment Television was the first channel to stop airing the
video. MTV, however, announced it would continue airing the video, and "Just
Lose It" became the #1 requested video on Total Request Live for the week
ending October 22. The Source, through its CEO Raymond "Benzino" Scott,
wanted not only the video to be pulled, but the song off the album, and a public
apology to Jackson from Mathers.
Others dismissed "Just Lose It" as a tame "Weird Al" Yankovic-style
knockoff. Regarding Jackson's protest, Yankovic, who parodied the Eminem
song "Lose Yourself" on a track titled "Couch Potato" on his 2003 album
Poodle Hat, himself told the Chicago Sun-Times, "Last year, Eminem
forced me to halt production on the video for my "Lose Yourself" parody because
he somehow thought that it would be harmful to his image or career. So the irony
of this situation with Michael is not lost on me."
On October 26, 2004, a week before the U.S. presidential election, 2004,
Eminem released the video for his song titled "Mosh" on the Internet. The song
features a very strong anti-Bush message, with lyrics such as "f... Bush" and
"this weapon of mass destruction that we call our president." The video features Mathers gathering up an army of people presented as victims of the Bush
administration and leading them to the White House. However, once the army
breaks in, it is revealed that they are there to simply register to vote, and
the video ends with the words "VOTE Tuesday November 2" on the screen. After
Bush won the election, the video's ending was changed to Eminem and the
protesters invading while Bush was giving a speech. None of the publicity helped
the album however, which saw its sales stall at 4.7 million copies, a number
dramatically lower than his past two albums. Critics panned the album's
production and lyricism as subpar in comparison to his previous efforts.
In summer 2005, Mathers embarked on his first US concert run in three years,
the Anger Management 3 Tour, featuring Lil' Jon, 50 Cent and G-Unit, D12, Obie
Trice, The Alchemist, and others. In August 2005, Mathers canceled the European
leg of the tour and subsequently announced that he had entered drug
rehabilitation for treatment for a "dependency on sleep medication."
At the same time as he was entering rehab, his aunt and uncle, Jack and Betty
Schmitt, sued him, charging that he had reneged on a promise to build a $350,000
house for them and supply them with money for the house's upkeep. The couple
claimed that Mathers had kept the house in his name, and then issued them
Mathers has made many enemies in the music industry, including Ja Rule,
Benzino, Everlast, Canibus, Vanilla Ice, Fred Durst, and others.
Other works and ventures
Mathers made his Hollywood acting debut with the semi-autobiographical 8
Mile, released in November 2002. He recorded several new songs for the
soundtrack, including "Lose Yourself," which won an Academy Award for Best Song;
it was not performed at the ceremony, reportedly because ABC wanted him to
perform an edited version.
Mathers has also done some voice acting, both on Crank Yankers and a
web cartoon called The Slim Shady Show, which has since been pulled
offline and is instead sold on DVD.
Mathers has also been linked to "Songs of Hope" by U2 and supported the Boys
and Girls Club of America and the Leary Fire Fighters Foundation with various
proceeds donated to these causes. In "Mosh", he expressed support for American
troops, but speaks against the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the Bush
administration. The Raelians Religious Movement, a religious group whose beliefs
are centered around communication with extraterrestrial life, tried to appoint
him as an honorary priest. In addition, he has raised STD awareness in a number
of songs portraying infected people having promiscuous sex with numerous
Dr. Dre's leading protégé, Mathers succeeded in multi-platinum record sales.
He was granted his own record label, a sub-label of Aftermath Entertainment. He
and his manager Paul Rosenberg created Shady Records in late 2000. Mathers and
Dr. Dre had signed 50 Cent on a joint venture between Aftermath & Shady Records.
His own Detroit collective D12 and rapper Obie Trice were signed to the Shady
Records label. In 2003, Mathers and Dr. Dre signed on Atlanta rapper Stat Quo to
the roster. DJ Green Lantern, the former deejay for Mathers, was signed to Shady
Records until a dispute with 50 Cent forced him to depart from the label; he is
no longer associated with Mathers. The Alchemist is now officially Mathers' tour
deejay. In 2005, Mathers officially signed another Atlanta rapper known as Bobby
Creekwater to his label.
Mathers signed a deal with Sirius Satellite Radio to program a rap-oriented
station called Shade 45, which debuted on October 28, 2004. He also owns
a clothing line called "Shady Ltd."
Eminem as a producer
Mathers is also active as a producer of rap records. Besides being the
executive producer of D12's two albums, Devil's Night and D12 World,
he has also produced numerous tracks on Obie Trice's Cheers as well as 50
Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin' and The Massacre. In addition,
Mathers has produced and appeared on several songs by other famous rappers, such
as The Game's "We Ain't," Jadakiss' "Welcome To D-Block," Jay-Z's "Renegade,"
Lloyd Banks' "Warrior Part 2," Tony Yayo's "Drama Setter," Trick Trick's
"Welcome 2 Detroit," and Xzibit's "My Name" and "Don't Approach Me." Most of
The Eminem Show was produced by Mathers himself, with co-production from
longtime collaborator Jeff Bass. He split the production with Dr. Dre on
Encore. He also executive-produced 2Pac's posthumous album Loyal to the
Game with 2Pac's mother Afeni Shakur. On certain tracks, 2Pac's voice was
slowed down or sped up, and digitally altered to say things like "2005" and
"G-Unit," angering some fans.
Retiring Slim Shady
In 2005, some industry insiders speculated that Mathers is considering ending
his rapping career after six years and numerous multi-platinum albums.
Speculation began in early 2005 about a double-disc album to be released late
that year, rumored to be titled The Funeral. The album manifested itself
under the name Curtain Call, and was released on December 6, 2005.
In July 2005, the Detroit Free Press broke news of a potential final
bow for Mathers as a solo performer, quoting members of his inside circle who
said that he will begin to fully embrace the role of producer and label
executive. The Free Press, Mathers' hometown paper, wrote that the aptly
titled Encore album would now stand as his final solo album.
Mathers recently announced via MTV News that he does not plan on
retiring soon, though he is planning on taking a break to produce music. He is
still uncertain whether another album will be released, but his career has not
come to a full stop. He is continuing to work out of the spotlight, including
producing the Redman album Red Gone Wild.
At "Anger Management" in Madison Square Garden and Atlanta's HiFi Buys
Amphitheater, he openly announced that he is not retiring and indicates this is
all just gossip by saying the moon exploding is a more credible rumor. However,
many still speculate that he will be retiring and the announcement at Madison
Square Garden was only a ploy to distract the fans.
Adding to the already feverish rumors from fans, Mathers released a track on
Curtain Call entitled "When I'm Gone." The lyrics feature the topic of
Slim Shady's destructive power over Marshall Mathers' life, and talks of laying
his alter ego to rest, one line featuring the lyrics "Find a gun on the ground /
cock it, put it to my brain / scream 'Die Shady!' and pop it."
On December 6, 2005, the day of Curtain Call's release, Mathers denied
that he was retiring on Detroit-based WKQI's "Mojo in the Mornin'" radio show,
but implied that he would at least be taking a break as an artist, saying, "I'm
at a point in my life right now where I feel like I don't know where my career
is going ... This is the reason that we called it 'Curtain Call,' because this
could be the final thing. We don't know." However, DJ Whoo Kid announced on
his website that he was to be releasing a new Eminem mixtape, entitled, "The
Eminem in D12
In 2001, Mathers brought his rap group, D12, to the popular music scene. In
2001, D12 released their hit debut album Devil's Night. The first single
released off of the album was "Purple Pills," an ode to recreational drug use
(although this was preceded in the UK by a song called "s... On You", which was
included on the Special Edition version of the album). The version of the song
released on the radio and music television was heavily rewritten to remove many
of the song's obscenity-laden lyrics, and renamed "Purple Hills." While the
first single was a massive hit, the album's second single, "Fight Music," was
not as successful. Some have attributed this to the emotional change caused in
American society due to the September 11, 2001 attacks. After their debut, D12
took three years in hiatus from the studio, later regrouping to releasing their
sophomore album, D12 World, in 2004, which featured the popular hit
single release "My Band." The other members of D12 have also appeared as guests
on all of Mathers' albums since The Marshall Mathers LP. D12's third
album was tentatively scheduled for a 2006 release, D12 member Bizarre had said
that the crew had spent time in the studio. However, it can be expected that the
album will be postponed due to the untimely death of one of D12's biggest stars
(and Mathers' closest friend) Proof, on April 11, 2006.

- 8 Mile (2002) (Starring)
- The name "Eminem" comes from Marshall Mathers' initials: M & M, which he
likely would have chosen, had it not been for fear of a lawsuit from Mars
- Eminem is a friend of fellow Detroit rap/rock star Kid Rock, and guested on
Rock's "Devil Without a Cause" on the track "f... Off". Rock has made
appearances scratching on some of Eminem's tracks, but is only credited on "Just
Don't Give a f..." from The Slim Shady LP.
- Eminem parodied shock rocker Marilyn Manson in the video for "My Name Is,"
but the artists have met since then and are on good terms. Eminem referenced
Manson as being unfairly blamed for the Columbine High School massacre in "The
Way I Am," a song which Manson remixed and recorded a version of the chorus for.
They have also performed the song together in concert.
- The second "E" in his stage name has been reversed on his records since his
second album The Marshall Mathers LP. The backwards “E” has become a logo
for him, appearing prominently in his videos and stage set.
- Several songs were released in response to the track "Stan" off of The
Marshall Mathers LP. Enemy rapper Canibus released the track "U Didn't
Care," rapping as the Stan character and implying that Eminem doesn't care about
his fans. The Pet Shop Boys released "The Night I Fell in Love," in which a male
fan goes backstage at an Eminem concert and has a one-night stand with him.
Christian rapper KJ-52 released "Dear Slim" and "Dear Slim pt. 2," open letters
to Eminem in a similar style to "Stan."
- When Dr. Dre first heard his tape, he thought Eminem was black.
- Several of his songs have been parodied. The most famous incident was "Weird
Al" Yankovic's parody of "Lose Yourself," entitled "Couch Potato" and featuring
new lyrics about television programming. He has also been parodied twice by the
Christian parody band ApologetiX, with "Lose Yourself" ("Look Yourself") and
"The Real Slim Shady" ("The Real Sin Savior"). Also Insane Clown Posse has
parodied Eminem's song Slim Shady and renamed it "Slim Anus".
- Eminem is left-handed. This can be seen in a scene in 8 Mile where he
is sitting on a bus with a pencil in his left hand, as well as in several of the
promotional posters for the film, which depict him writing lyrics with his left
- Eminem's height: 5'8" (1.73m).
- His real hair color is in fact a dark brown, he bleaches his hair with
peroxide (as stated in "White America"); he did not bleach his hair in 8 Mile,
and so his natural hair color can be seen in the movie.
- Eminem made a guest appearance in 50 Cent's video game "50 Cent:
Bulletproof" as a corrupt cop.
- Eminem wears glasses, which can be seen in some of his interviews, as well
as on the music videos for "Mockingbird" and "Stan".
- In March 2003, Spin Magazine named him The Most Important Artist Making
Music Right Now.
- Eminem's rap group D12, short for "Dirty Dozen," has only five members. Many
people were often confused by the number. It is "12" because, before the death
of Proof, each of the six members of the group had two pseudonyms or "personas."
(For example, "Eminem" and "Slim Shady").
- Some of Eminem's freestyle lyrics in 8 Mile are ones he found in his
old house from when he was in his teens; he altered them before the movie. A lot
of those lyrics got turned down by director Curtis Hanson, however.
- Eminem was number 6 on VH1's 50 greatest hip hop artists of all time.

When it comes to women’s health, our leaders in Washington are decades behind those who will be directly affected by their decisions.
In a move that should outrage anyone who wishes to retain the ability to plan whether and when to have children and to control their own reproductive health decisions, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that opens the door for his Department of Health and Human Services to gut the Affordable Care Act provision that has broadened access to copay-free birth control to more than 55 million women across the country — and for employers to determine whether or not they can refuse to provide insurance coverage for contraception to their employees on the basis of their religious beliefs.
Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, an avowed opponent of copay-free birth control, is now in charge of the existing birth control protections under the ACA. And he recently appointed anti-abortion activists Charmaine Yoest and Teresa Manning to head up his department’s public affairs and family planning programs.
Here are a few indisputable facts about birth control. Ninety-nine percent of all sexually active women have used contraception at some point in their lives — including 98% of Latinas and 99% of Catholics. Numerous studies have demonstrated that access to birth control strengthens families, increases women’s earning power and narrows the gender pay gap. And concurrent with the expansion of access to affordable contraception, including via the ACA’s copay-free birth control provision, abortion rates have fallen to historic lows.
The Trump administration appears dead-set on putting all this progress at risk.
Birth control coverage is a matter of economic justice. Millions of women today simply could not afford the contraception they need if copay-free birth control coverage were taken away from them, and others would struggle to do so. According to a recent poll by PerryUndem, a third of women couldn’t afford to pay more than $10 for contraception if they needed to today. According to the Guttmacher Institute, 50 percent of women aged 18 to 34, including Latinas, said there had been a time when the cost of a prescription contraceptive prevented consistent use.
I have witnessed the impact of inconsistent use in my daily work alongside Latinas across the country. When family planning programs in Texas were decimated, I remember meeting sisters who would cut their birth control pills in half in an attempt to make them last longer. At least one faced an unintended pregnancy at a time when she and her family could barely make ends meet.
We, as a society, simply cannot afford the consequences of rolling back copay-free birth control. On an individual level, this vital benefit saves American women $1.4 billion every year. It’s no wonder 77 percent of women voters want Congress and the Trump administration to preserve it.
The reality is that when you have access to affordable birth control, you’re in control — of your career, your sex life, your body, your family, your health and your life. Now is the time to stand up, speak out, and fight — by showing up to our local town hall meetings, calling our congressional representatives and policy makers and having conversations with our family and friends to bring awareness to what is at stake.
For the 99% of us who have relied on contraception over the course of our lives, and for the 55 million women nationwide who benefit from this broadly popular and entirely common sense policy, we must keep birth control accessible and copay-free.

Famous for its ability to smooth deep facial wrinkles, Botox is also showing promise at relieving pain according to researchers at Johns Hopkins.
A study found that patients with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)—a debilitating and painful nerve compression disorder—who received a single, low-dose injection of Botox in a neck muscle reported a significant reduction in short-term pain.
This suggests, the researchers say, that Botox could be an alternative to the invasive rib-removal surgery that is used to treat the syndrome as a last resort.
“There haven’t been many alternatives to the use of surgery to treat this syndrome,” says the study’s lead author Paul J. Christo, M.D., M.B.A., an assistant professor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “Botox seems to be an effective treatment that avoids surgery’s obvious drawbacks, such as its invasive nature and long recovery time.”
As with treating wrinkles, the effect from Botox on TOS patients lasts only a few months, so repeated injections would be necessary to maintain the results. Dr. Christo says some patients could develop antibodies to the compound with excessive use, which would mean the toxin would no longer block pain.
Botox’s use as a cosmetic procedure shows no signs of slowing. In the latest statistics from the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery it was the number one less-invasive cosmetic procedure performed in the United States in 2009. Dr. Frenzel performs Botox in his Arlington, Texas office.
For the full release on how Botox eases nerve pain in TOS patients, visit the Johns Hopkins Medicine website.

The Spanish group Left Hand Rotation decided to bring the spam problem to the real world. They made postcards with the SPAM logo and handed them out on the street and stuffed them in mailboxes around Madrid. Here’s a video:
Here’s a time lapse video of Blu painting a giant piece on the streets of Barcelona. The video is shot over the course of several days and includes audio interviews with folks from the neighborhood trying to figure out what it is and what it means. This project was part of The Influencers festival. I actually saw it in person. It was great!
German performance artist Johan Lorbeer appeared to be floating in mid-air in a Madrid train station, to the delight of commuters. Apparently his leaning arm is actually fake and is disguising a support structure connected to the wall. He has some photos of similar projects he did in galleries on his site.
I spent last week at The Influencers Festival in Barcelona and had the pleasure of meeting Blu. I got a chance to see him in action, painting a new wall in town as part of the festival. I snapped a blurry photo of it, above. It’s a giant shark made of $100 bills. The festival was videotaping him during the entire process, so expect an awesome time-lapse video to turn up soon.
If you haven’t seen Blu’s famous “Muto” animation from Buenos Aires, stop everything and watch it now: Muto.
Street artist Mark Jenkins makes, among other things, awesome human sculptures out of tape and then dresses them and puts them in public places. His latest project is The Golden Ass. In an area of Barcelona packed with “golden statue” type street performers, he constructed a sculpture that looked like a human in a horse costume. Everyone who encountered it assumed it was a performer being incredibly still.
“…it’s much easier to make pretend people than to pretend to be a sculpture all day.”
In one of Filthy Lucre‘s latest projects, he added eyes to trees and bushes in the public space. They “eyes” are really just dots painted on while balloons. Both of these photos were taken in Salamanca, Spain.

Faith No More was my favorite at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Saturday and the one act I watched the entire set.
After starting with the class soul of “Reunited” and going through as much of their catalogue as they could in 45 minutes, you could tell singer Mike Morris, who wore all read for the performance, was not happy with the band’s reception from the fans.
“I know we look (age) 80 but you look confused out here,” Morris told the crowd at one point, I believe after the song “Last Cup of Sorrow.”
Coachella can be hit and miss with heavier rock acts … I remember Mastodon’s performance from last year and their tent was not full. The band also had to compete with Hot Chip, who were performing at the outdoor theatre.
Multiple acts you want to see performing at the same time is my biggest issue with Coachella but that’s a great problem to have.
Anyway, the crowd went home happy after Faith No More performed their second to last song and their biggest hit “Epic.”
Nonetheless, the band’s sound has aged well and each musician was punishing on their instruments, especially drummer Mike Bordin and bassist Billy Gould. Hopefully there will be more dates to see them.
As far as Hot Chip, they also gave a great sounding set and threw in their newest single “One Life Stand” relatively early in the set. People love to dance to Hot Chip, obviously, and Coachella audiences are no different. I couldn’t stay as long as I would have liked for them but their sound is polished and effective.
the XX definitely stood out Saturday. Outside of MGMT, their crowd was the largest at the outdoor theatre on Saturday and should definitely be considered for the main stage (like MGMT).
The crowd for the XX, considered an indie rock band, was so large it carried over to the nearby Gobi tent.
Members Romy Madley Croft, Oliver Sim and Jamie Smith’s dark, brooding yet rhytmic instrumentals appeared to hypnotize the audience to dance or simply nod their head to songs like “Crystalised,” “Basic Space” and more.
My biggest complaint about their set, and it’s not with the band, was with the camera operator. The camera would shoot a wide angle on the band and a close up on the audience, with usually the same audience member. I began to think this woman in a striped shirt who kept dancing was part of the xx it got so ridiculous.
Also strong was MGMT despite an almost inaudible sound coming from the group the further back you sat.
The problem was fixed but it was noticable depending on where you were in the audience and their audience was massive. This had to be one of the largest groups I’ve seen for the outdoor theatre (like the XX) but it seemed worse … you couldn’t really move because of the crowd and they definitely need to be on the Coachella stage the next time they come back.
They went through hits like “Flash Delirium,” “Time to Pretend” and more (I didn’t actually hear “Kids” but I left their set because of the sheer amount of people who showed up) but unfortunately for them when Muse started at 9:35 (MGMT was supposed to finish at 9:40) much of their audience took off running toward the nearby Coachella stage.

Last August 2018 my boyfriend’s family went on a vacation on the west side of the USA. Luckily, I was able to join them and spent a week going around the west coast— from San Francisco to Las Vegas. I have been to these places quite a handful of times but it’s good to be back with a fun company.
Though we encountered some unfortunate events, like someone smashed the windows of our van and took our belongings, we were able to brush it off and enjoyed the whole trip.

Claudio Ranieri has shrugged off criticism of Leicester City’s playing style, declaring he is happy for his team to sacrifice a degree of control so long as they play at a speed that unhinges opponents.
Leicester have averaged only 42% possession this season, lower than any champions in the Premier League era, and they also rank low for other metrics including pass completion. But the Italian said anyone who uses those statistics to question the quality of the Premier League leaders is looking at the wrong figures.
“Football is open, it is not only keeping possession of the ball and making more passes,” Ranieri said. “We make so many mistakes because we play at 100mph and it is difficult to play at 100mph. You can make mistakes. It’s not important how many mistakes you make, it’s about how many chances you create and how many goals you score. That is my philosophy.”
Leicester’s ability to use players such as Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez to spring forward with lightning pace has flummoxed most defences and is the chief reason why they have scored 54 goals in 31 Premier League matches – more than anyone except Tottenham Hotspur – and gathered more points than everyone else.
Their position at the top of the table is a persuasive endorsement of Ranieri’s contention that Leicester’s style is the one that best suits their players and least suits their opponents. To Ranieri, that is the key to successful management. “What is important is to find the best solution for your players,” he said. “It is important to understand what your team can do.”
One of the most dynamic players in Leicester’s team is the midfielder N’Golo Kanté, who has made such an impact since joining from Caen last summer that he was called into the France squad last month and made a scoring international debut in his country’s 4-2 victory over Russia on Tuesday. Kanté’s performances have also earned admiration from Europe’s top clubs and the player hinted in an interview while away on international duty that he might be open to a transfer in the summer. Ranieri does not believe the midfielder wants to leave but suggested he would not stand in his way if he were determined to go.
“He should rest here,” the manager said. “He is working very well. But if some big teams come in for him, who give us a lot of big money, maybe we can think about it. If he is not happy here and wants to go … I don’t want sad people here. I want happy people.” Asked whether Kanté seemed sad, the manager replied: “No. He is always smiling. It’s just speculation.”
Beyond individual players, the club as a whole is enjoying new status, as reflected by the invitation to participate in a friendly tournament in August – the International Champions Cup – against Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Celtic. Ranieri said that fraternising with such illustrious names would help Leicester’s players prepare for next season’s European campaign.
“It is important because we are in Europe now and are fighting to get there through the Champions League,” he said. “I want their minds open because not many players have played in Europe against the big teams. It is important to start thinking like a big team, a big club.”
But not too big. Ranieri warned that if any of his players showed signs of becoming arrogant or complacent after this season, he would administer emphatic attitude adjustment.
“If they change, I will take the hammer and break their heads,” the 64-year-old said with a smile before clarifying: “Change, yes, but change for the better.”

BISMARCK, N.D. (KXNET) — An award-winning musician and educator in North Dakota has now cemented his place in history.
Because a painting of the newest Rough Rider Award recipient now hangs alongside fellow recipients in the State Capitol.
The portrait of Dr. Merton Utgaard is now up on display in the Theodore Roosevelt Rough Rider Hall of Fame.

Utgaard was the founder of the International Music Camp, which sees up to 2,000 campers from around the world each summer at the International Peace Garden.
“His vision, his commitment to make this incredible institution which still goes on if you haven’t been up there, it’s got amazing facilities. Clearly has an impact on educators and students and he became around the world,” said North Dakota Governor, Doug Burgum.
Although Utgaard has since passed, his legacy lives on at the International Music Camp.

Before you start sobbing, know that Hunter, the Belgian Malinois on duty when he was brutally stabbed 13 times, did, indeed, survive the wounds and is in recovery, cuddling with his handler.
Also, rest assured, the 27-year-old suspect, Joseph Arquilla, that Hunter was detaining when he sustained his injuries now faces seven felony counts, according to jail and court records. According to our Las Vegas criminal defense lawyers, he will now face a strenuous legal battle to answer to the charges against him.
What Led the Suspect to This Crime?
Joseph Arquilla was an armed suspect, threatening to harm Las Vegas police officers during an hours-long barricade. Metro had first encountered Arquilla after a 7-11 employee called 911 to report that a man was climbing on the roof of his business on South Eastern at 12:30 a.m., threatening to hurt himself.
Officers tried talking him down for four hours, but Arquilla refused to listen and threatened to hurt the officers. At 3 a.m., SWAT and K-9 units had arrived. After Arquilla climbed down, he refused to drop the knife. That’s when officers deployed a new 40 mm launcher system, a minor weapon that Metro began using this past summer.
The launcher uses air pressure to fire a rounded rubber tip projectile meant to incapacitate a suspect. The launcher did not affect Arquilla, so K-9 officer Jeff Corbett released Hunter. At that point, Hunter bit Arquilla’s left arm and held him until SWAT took him into custody – but not before sustaining 13 stab wounds to the neck.
Suspect in Custody
Regardless of the on-duty dogs’ toughness and determination, it’s still a sad story to hear that a dutiful pup has been injured by a rogue citizen. Joseph Arquilla remains held on a $100,000 bail in Clark County Detention Center. He faces one count of mistreatment of a police animal and six counts of resisting a public officer with the use of a deadly weapon.
K-9 Officer Rests With Handler
K-9 officer, Jason Dukes, had previously told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “We’ve had our dogs shot, stabbed, and they’re still fighting. We’ve had dogs hit in the head with crowbars, their skulls fractured in the middle of a fight, and the dog still holds on.”
Meanwhile, Hunter rests at home with Jeff Corbett, healing from surgery to treat his severe wounds. Hunter has been with Metro since 2012.
