Tumor Research

[Abstract]

Objective: Following the economic improvement and life style change, the incidence of colorectal cancer （CRC） has being increased. Now, CRC has became the third common malignant tumor is China. Since the last 10 years, the mortality of CRC hadn't changed a lot, the 5 years survival rate remains at 60% to 70%.Methods: This retrospective study involved 464 consecutive patients with CRC treated by radical surgery from January 1, 1998 to December 31, 2002 in PLA hospital. Patents who had involved synchronism distant metastases before surgery were excluded. The time of the case enrolled in this study is surgical time. Disease-free survival （DFS） was counted as considered as the period of relapse or death. All follow-up ended on December 31, 2006. DFS were estimated by the methods of Kaplan-Meier and log-rank test were used to determine univariate significance .

why is iodine important

What's the big deal about Iodine?

Last Friday, I was feeling so sick, and boy was I glad to have Devon volunteer to do this month's grocery shopping. He did a really good job, I have to say. However, I was unpacking and came across the salt:- Non-iodized salt. Usually, and especially because I am a vegetarian, I always buy salt with iodine. Iodine most commonly occurs in fish. I asked him about it, and as it turns out, he could not find the salt with the iodine and bought this one, after he had done research on other plant-based sources of iodine. This motivated me to do my own research on iodine.

Dynamic IP addresses are most frequently assigned on LANs and broadband networks by Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers. They are used because it avoids the administrative burden of assigning specific static addresses to each device on a network. It also allows many devices to share limited address space on a network if only some of them will be online at a particular time. In most current desktop operating systems, dynamic IP configuration is enabled by default so that a user does not need to manually enter any settings to connect to a network with a DHCP server. DHCP is not the only technology used to assigning dynamic IP addresses. Dialup and some broadband networks use dynamic address features of the Point-to-Point Protocol.

How it's working. A dynamically allocated IP address is an address made available to all registered users upon request. When you are configured to use DHCP, your machine sends a request to the DHCP server for an IP address each time it is booted. If your machine is registered, the DCHP server responds by providing an IP address and other configuration addresses such as Gateway and DNS.
When registering for a dynamic IP address, the address you receive from the DHCP server is taken from a pool of IP addresses. Each time your computer requests an IP address from the DHCP server, it will be allocated an available address from the dynamic address pool. This address may be different each time your computer is started or if you release and renew your current IP address.
What is an dynamic IP address (for begginers)?

Requesting DHCP computers receive a dynamic IP address (think temporary phone number) for the duration of that Internet session or for some other specified amount of time. Once the user disconnects from the Internet, their dynamic IP address goes back into the IP address pool so it can be assigned to another user. Even if the user reconnects immediately, odds are they will not be assigned the same IP address from the pool. To keep our telephone telephone analogy going, using a dynamic IP address is similar to using a pay phone. Unless there is a reason to receive a call, the user does not care what number he or she is calling from. There are times, however, when users who connect to the Internet using dynamic IP wish to allow other computers to locate them.
Virtual IP address

Virtual IP address (VIP or VIPA) is an IP address that is not connected to a specific computer or network interface card (NIC) on a computer. Incoming packets are sent to the VIP address, but all packets travel through real network interfaces. VIPs are mostly used for connection redundancy; a VIP address may still be available if a computer or NIC fails because an alternative computer or NIC replies to connections.
Sticky dynamic IP address

A sticky dynamic IP address or sticky IP is a term created by cable and DSL users to describe a dynamically assigned IP address that does not change often. This is however an informal term, as a sticky IP does not differ in any way from other dynamic IP address. Even though IP addresses may not change often for cable or DSL users, the addresses are still controlled by the standard DHCP process. Since the modems are often online for extended periods of time, the leases on the IP addresses are commonly renewed, and therefore may not change.
Port number, ip address, computer name
Right click mycomputer/properties will give you most info about your computer or control panel, system icon .not sure what port # you are refering to.
Ip address .type winipconfg in start/run i think will work ,I haven't used win98 for a couple of yrs now .
winipcfg" is the correct spelling, but yes- that will give you all of your IP configuration info.

In terms of your question about the port #, you would have to clarify that by giving us more specific information. Network applications and/or services all use different ports, but that info isn't anything you usually have to configure or worry about.
What i am doing is writing a simple socket program using c++ to connect to another pc. The socket properties requires a port number and computer name to connect to that particular pc. Thus this what i am trying to find out is how to get the other pc's port number and computer name

How do I hide my IP address?

The most common method to hide your IP address is to use a proxy server in one form or another. A proxy server is a computer that offers a computer network service to allow clients to make indirect network connections to other network services. A client connects to the proxy server and then requests a connection, file, or other resource available on a different server. The proxy provides the resource either by connecting to the specified server or by serving it from a cache. In some cases, the proxy may alter the client's request or the server's response for various purposes.

There are several implementations of proxy servers that you can use to hide your IP address (in an attempt to remain anonymous on the internet):
Website Based Proxy Servers

A Website based proxy server is a website that provides a form for you to enter the URL of a website that you wish to anonymously visit. When you submit the form the website proxy server makes a request for the page that you want to visit. The machine usually does not identify itself as a proxy server and does not pass along your IP address in the request for the page. The features of these sites vary (ad blocking, javascript blocking, etc) as does their price. Some are free and some charge. Examples of website proxy services are:

Proxify.com

Browser Configured Proxy Servers

There are also stand alone proxy servers that allow for you to configure your browser to route your browser traffic through that machine, which then makes a request for a page on your behalf, and then sends you the results. These are usually used at no cost to the user. Since they are accessible to the public these are often quite slow. Please see instructions for using a proxy server.

There are a variety of types of these proxy servers:

Transparent Proxy
This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server and also makes the original IP address available through the http headers. These are generally used for their ability to cache websites and do not effectively provide any anonymity to those who use them. However, the use of a transparent proxy will get you around simple IP bans. They are transparent in the terms that your IP address is exposed, not transparent in the terms that you do not know that you are using it (your system is not specifically configured to use it.) This type of proxy server does not hide your IP address.
Anonymous Proxy
This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server, but does not make the original IP address available. This type of proxy server is detectable, but provides reasonable anonymity for most users. This type of proxy server will hide your IP address.
Distorting Proxy
This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server, but make an incorrect original IP address available through the http headers. This type of proxy server will hide your IP address.
High Anonymity Proxy
This type of proxy server does not identify itself as a proxy server and does not make available the original IP address. This type of proxy server will hide your IP address.

Installed Software Proxy Servers

There are a variety of companies and software packages available at either a onetime cost or at an annual subscription. These are usually faster and more reliable than the above proxy servers. Some of these services would include:

Hide My IP
Anonymizer.com's Anonymous Surfing
GhostSurf 2007 Platinum
TOR (Read about TOR)

VPN Services

A virtual private network (VPN) protects your data and identity over public networks, like the Internet and wireless hotspots. Various protocols are used to create an encrypted tunnel that transports data securely. While a firewall may protect the data on your computer, a VPN will protect your data on the Internet. The goal of a VPN is to implement the same level of security provided by private networks at substantially lower costs. VPN services provide different gateway cities where the IP address assigned to your computer is located. This allows users to access websites only available to users from a certain country. This application is particularly important for travelers who need to access websites from their home country and for people living in regions rife with censorship, like China and Iran.

Finding Your IP Address and a Website's IP Address
Nowadays, we live in the world of the internet and rarely does a single day pass by in which we don't log onto the net. However, have you ever thought of how we are able to connect to a person sitting nearly on the other side of the globe? In the case of the internet, the network on which all the systems reside is called WWW and it's too complicated for a non-technical person like us to comprehend it fully. So, I will just state briefly how different computers talk to each other on this world wide web or any other smaller network like you use at your work place or in your home.

who is the antichrist?

Who is the Third King?

Eschatology - Endtimes & Prophecy Forum The Endtimes & Prophecy Forum for the discussion of future events. No full preterist views. Partial preterists welcomed. First of all, this is not about politics. This is not about supporting or condemning Obama. It is possible that Obama could fulfill prophecy of the end times and yet he can still be a decent man. It is possible that his fulfilling prophecy is merely a sign or a road marker and yet Obama is a chosen vessel of God. This is simply trying to look at prophecy with an open mind without any regard to politics. We must keep an open mind as prophecies are fulfilled because it is extremely unlikely that we can be correct about everything. If we develop firm opinions about how things will play out, we will sometimes be wrong. One error leads to many more until we are completely off target, and caught completely off guard as the end plays out. For example, it is widely believed that the ten kings mentioned in the book of Daniel are the remnants of the Roman Empire and they are nations in Europe. This could be true; however, it is possible that the ten kings are Muslims countries and are remnants of the former Arabian Empire. We need to remain open to this possibility...we need to remain open to all reasonable possibilities. Daniel 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. IF the ten kings are Muslims countries and IF Obama is the little horn then it is easy to see two kings who have been subdued by Obama (Egypt and Libya), but who is the third? It should also be pointed out that it is possible that Obama is "Little Horn", but he is NOT the first or second beast of revelation. It is only an interpretation or an opinion that says that certain different prophecies must be fulfilled by the same person. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

what is the difference raid

MacPro Internal Raid Access yields error 5000?

Well I think I sorted it out. It turns out however the media was copied from the Unity to the internal raid all the folders were read only in the get info. Setting them to read write and I can now save to the drive. All the main media which is in a sub folder in the mxf folder named after the station it was captured are still read only which doesn't seem to create an issue since my system just created it's own "1" folder to put the renders etc... into. Does anybody know why copying the media from a unity workspace would make it read only. I do know that originally the permission for my symphony was set to read only access to the unity workspace. Perhaps thats why the media that was copied inherited read only status. Anybody more unity savvy with a theory?

when do stamps go up to 41 cents

Oro Valley Post Office Forever Stamp

Today postal rates went up all over the United States. A first class stamp went up 2 cents from 39 cents to 41 cents. A 2 cent increase is nothing new. If you've lived long enough you have seen that price increase from penny postcards to 26 cents today.

When postage went above a nickel, that's right 5 cents my mom almost had a cow. "What's this country coming too. . ." Yep, we've all heard that one before;that was January 7, 1963. Maybe you don't remember? Here is a Chart of all the postal rate increases.

Shari.com: Quick-Pickled Cucumbers

I've been debating with myself for over a week on whether to hyphenated "quick-pickled." Is it a compound adjective modifying the noun "cucumbers"? (I say yes, and so the hyphen.) Or is "quick" describing the compound noun "pickled cucumbers"? (Could be. No hyphen.) But if so, then why not just say, "Quick Pickles"? I mean, who other than foodies and farm wives even thinks about "pickle" on its own to mean anything other than a cucumber?

Oh, my head. (It's been happily full of cucumbers, pickled in the quick way, since last week.)

See, over on Pinterest, which is the greatest threat to my Facebook time since Facebook was the greatest threat to my World of Warcraft time, I pinned a recipe for ginger scallion noodles. (I need to taste it before I decide whether to hyphenate it.)

And then I thought, "I know you, me. You'll make a big pot of this, eat two bowls the first night, rave about how it's a keeper, pat yourself on the back for increasing your lazy cooking repetoire, and then the leftovers will languish in the fridge for two weeks until you sheepishly throw them out because you'll be 'Oh. Soup. Boring.' every day thereafter."

But I still want to make the noodles because I'm a changed woman, honest. And part of that change involves stepping up the production of new side dishes to accompany new main dishes, so the new main dishes will not get so samey so quickly. (And this is all part of the bigger change to actually make more of the things I pin on Pinterest.)

The noodle recipe recommended serving with quick pickled cucumbers (no hyphen), so I found this recipe (also no hyphen), and I made said cucumbers, pickled, quickly.

Throughout the novel, Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck explains that companionship is one of the most meaningful things in life. Steinbeck achieves this by showing situations in which characters that do not have companions are unable to cope. One character is George. George is a pretty good man but at times can be very hard on the man who he looks after. The man who George looks after is Lennie. Lennie has a mental disability and, therefore, cannot support himself. George and Lennie travel together; they are always moving from job to job. Although these two characters have their difficulties, they have a very good relationship. Candy is another character that Steinbeck uses to illustrate his views on companionship. Candy is a very old, and nearly useless, ranch hand. He has no companions except for his dog. The other men on the ranch do not like Candys dog because he smells, is old, and is not any good to anyone. The other character that Steinbeck uses is Curleys wife. She is the only woman on the ranch and is always hanging around the other guys. Even though she is married to Curley, they do not have a good relationship.

comcast how to send multiple email

Mitch's Blog » Blog Archive » Comcast: What is "Customer Service"?

For the last four years, I've been a happy business Comcast Internet customer. I just have Internet and voice with Comcast; no TV. I have 5 static IP addresses, and until earlier this month, Comcast has been rock solid with only a few minutes of downtime here and there. I am an outlier when I say that I love US Airways and I love Comcast. I don't know anyone else who goes around saying stuff like that. In some areas, you might get hanged.

In January, I decided I wanted more speed, but I debated–should I upgrade to 105 Mbit down/20 Mbit up (about $380/mo) or 50/10 (about $190/mo)? I talked to the Comcast sales rep on Jan 4th and she suggested trying the 50/10 and see how it goes. So I said let's do it. My install window was set for 3p-5p on Friday, Jan 6th, since they needed to upgrade my modem.

On Jan 6th, at 4:50pm, a Comcast tech knocked on the door. "If this goes well, I'll be out of here in 20 minutes."

The Comcast tech was a great guy, I really liked him. However, he was hanging out in my network closet until 9:30pm that night. My girlfriend asked if she should clean up the guest room so he could spend the night.

how to develop business at law firm

Gazing upon Medusa? No, just making law firm practice transparent to law students

Michael P. Downey

I had an odd perch to watch as the recent legal economy tsunami struck the U.S. legal education system. In 2007, while a partner at an AmLaw200  firm, I accepted an invitation and in January 2008 first taught a class titled Introduction to Law Firm Practice at Washington University School of Law. Drawing upon my own graduate education in law firm management (at George Washington University's Law Firm Management program) and almost a decade of private law practice, I taught approximately 70 law students about the business of private law practices: how law firms are structured, make money, compensate lawyers and staff, and develop business.

The initial class members were  enthusiastic, even though I was writing the course materials almost simultaneously with their taking the course. Virtually every student had interviewed with law firms. Many had already worked at law firms. And most anticipated that, if they wanted to work at a law firm, they would be able to secure such employment before or shortly after graduation.

The next January, and every January since, I have taught a new crop of approximately 70 Washington University law students about the business of law practice. The goal is to "draw back the curtain," to show students how firms really operate.

I use a lot of real data. Unfortunately,  due to availability, the data tends to be more focused on larger firms. I also use a lot of information from law firm consultants, those people who teach lawyers what is happening at their own firms. I sometimes tease that I am a member of the "Hildebrandt School" of law firm management because several of my most influential GWU Law Firm Practice professors and mentors – Jim Jones, Carl Leonard, and Bill Robinson – were then Hildebrandt consultants, I learned and now teach students Hildebrandt thinking and models, including that  law firms' practices can be placed somewhere on a value pyramid; that there are five levers to law firm profitability (R-U-L-E-S, or rates, utilization, leverage, expenses, and speed); and that the key to firm's ultimate success is strategic understanding and alignment.

how do you know if soy has been fermented

Understand These Soy Milk Dangers?

The particular that soy milk like a "healthy" substitute to regular milk is definitely a deceptive one . Soy milk and soy formula for infants seem to put your health in danger. These are dangerous foods. Identical goes for soy products are unfermented, including soy milk, soybean oil, soy burgers, tofu, along with other processed soy products.

Soy milk and also other soy foods are usually not health foods and are not advisable for consumption, regardless of whether they claim to generally be "organic." Unfermented soy products are generally linked to many health problems. But soy milk dangers are not known by many people, which explains why they continue consuming this system.

A Couple Of New Future Concepts, Ideas, And Inventions For Your Intellectual Mind

As you understand, every day I come up with at the very least 2-original ideas, and reasonably than making a lot of little articles describing this week's new progressive ideas, I assumed I'd share with you 6 or 7 of the concepts, all packed into one article. Why? To assist get your mental thoughts thinking, and put you into the creative stream, now then, let's begin with:

Regenerative Compression for Air-Compressed Driven Cars – Idea Thought Thought of

We are all aware of regenerative braking techniques which use the automobiles deceleration to create a friction fashion power generation to keep a hybrid or all-electric automobile's batteries charged. Nicely, what if we used such a regenerative scheme to show a compressor motor instead. How so you ask? Properly, when braking, the wheels turn the compressor wheel to re-compress the air tanks, which may later used for energy, and/or to charge the battery or run a generator for electrical tools on the automobile.

There have been some successful attempts at an air-compressed motor to drive a car, bicycle, and motorcycle. Though these previous attempts have been less than stellar for vary, such technology does make sense for some applications. Properly, what if we used this concept to increase the vary by giving back the wasted loss in kinetic power during deceleration just as we do with present hybrid and electrical cars? Compressed air does hold promise given the proper motor and transmission set up. Okay so think on that.

What You Need To Know About Epson Stylus Cartridges

Epson is a very popular type of printers with numerous different lines wanted to meet different requirements and circumstances. They are famous for being cost-effective, well built, and with plenty of beneficial features.

However, one of the toughest problems most commonly connected with Epson printers, like other inkjet printers, is the continuing price of replacing ink cartridges. Epson Stylus printers do attempt to redress this fiscal balance by using separate color ink cartridges rather than simply a black and tricolor cartridge. However, the price can shortly mount up for regular and heavy printer users.

Tourists and staff from the Amundsen-Scott base gather at the South Pole to mark the centenary of Captain Scotts arrival

January 17 1912: Captain Robert Falcon Scott arrived to plant the Union Jack at the South Pole. Great God, he famously wrote in his diary, this is an awful place. the temperature was -30C; but for Scott it was not just the weather that was bitter.

The previous day he had realised that the Norwegian party led by Roald Amundsen had got there first. he and his four companions photographed themselves, looking hollow-eyed and defeated, then marked the occasion with stew, probably involving seal meat, plus a small stick of chocolate, and the queer taste of a cigarette. they would be dead within weeks.

January 17 2012: about 100 people gathered at the same spot to commemorate the centenary.

The occasion was nothing like as grand as the celebration of Amundsens achievement the previous month, when the Norwegian prime minister theatrically skied in. Wary of both global grandstanding and association with failure, David Cameron chose not to be represented at all. the ceremony was arranged by the Americans, who run the huge Amundsen-Scott polar base and fly the stars-and-stripes at the Pole itself, though they have no obvious right to do so.

For this day only, Britains flag was allowed to flutter alongside. there were five speeches, not all of them immediately relevant, but the British adventurer Henry Worsley found a touch of soaring eloquence when he paid tribute to the dead: Their footsteps have long since disappeared but they echo through eternity.

And at least all the speakers kept it brief. the applause was muffled because the audience were heavily gloved: it was -28C, only a fraction warmer than for Scotts arrival. and everyone shifted quickly back inside: the Americans into their new hermetically sealed station nearby; the visitors to the encampment a mile north (everything being north from here). In our cosy dining tent we drank Chilean champagne, which was perhaps a mistake, since the Pole is 11,000ft high and in that atmosphere you get more fizz than drink.

It would be nice to believe that we were toasting our forefathers whose suffering made our own visit possible. But I think we were more wrapped up in what we had done. Some had good reason: Worsley, his face badly frost-bitten, had just yomped 920 miles with a single companion along the Amundsen route from Bay of Whales. others had skied the last degree, the 69 miles from 89 degrees south to the Pole, including Wendy Booker, a 55-year-old Boston mother-of-three who has had multiple sclerosis for 15 years. (A few hours later Grant Korgan from Nevada, paralysed by an accident in 2010, would achieve the same feat.)

Some of us had flown to the Pole and then trekked for a few minutes across the frozen wastes from the visitor centre. and very nippy it was too.

Yes, the tourists have arrived. the Antarctic no longer belongs just to the would-be heroes. me, I dont ski; I dont climb ladders, never mind mountains. and, frankly, I dont care for the cold. But I got here. It may not have been a very heroic endeavour but it was still the culmination of one of the most intense weeks of my life. and I felt pretty chuffed.

I stood in front of the commemorative sign wearing my souvenir-of-the-Faroe-Islands bobble hat and the balaclava that Auntie Jessie knitted. and, since such a moment should always be marked with a personal show of eccentricity, I had a quickread of a slightly out-of-date copy of the FT; shared a bowl of cherries, which had acquired an intriguingly glac quality; and then went off to umpire one of historys sillier (and certainly most southerly) cricket matches. none of us tried to match the skier, famous in Antarctic circles, who celebrated reaching the Pole by stripping to her braand pants. we have, nonetheless, moved on along way from Titus Oates walking to his doom in a blizzard.

. . .

The idea of polar tourism dates back at least to a cruise into Arctic waters in 1875. But the Antarctic was, and remains, far more inaccessible. and the combination of Amundsens efficient success and the grotesque travails of the Scott party discouraged imitators. the glory had been gained, and the place did not sound much fun. But the legend never lost its holdon the global imagination. In 1956, the US established its first, primitive, polar base. In 1958, a Commonwealth expedition, led by Sir Edmund Hillary and Sir Vivian Fuchs, reached the Pole overland using tractors, and a new era began.

Why is the Normally Astute Taibbi Sounding Like a Hopey Dopey Liberal on the Mortgage Settlement? « naked capitalism

I hate taking issue with Matt Taibbi. I'm a huge fan of his writing and think he has done more to cause the big bd banks discomfort than any single writer.

But even someone as skilled as Taibbi occasionally has the writing equivalent of a bad hair day. And his post, "A Victory for the Public on Foreclosures?" is an example. And his misreading matters precisely because he has so much cred with the public that is unhappy with Big Finance.

Taibbi has taken up cheerleading the Schneiderman involvement in a Federal investigation committee as major progress and also amplified the messaging that the current version of the release in the mortgage settlement deal (which by the way is still more of a mystery than it ought to be) is a good deal. As we will discuss in due course, even a narrow deal around robosigning is in fact NOT a good deal.

I need to get a bit granular since quite a few folks on what passes for the left have gone into hopey dopey liberal mode. This is EXACTLY what the Administration wanted. A mere gesture, appointing Schneiderman to a part time job co-chairing an under-staffed investigation, when the committee members who are likely not to be on the same page as him have the advantage of being in DC where the troops will be located and knowing their way around the relevant bureaucracies. The ONLY hope Schneiderman has of pulling this off is lots of very noisy, sustained pressure, NOT going all gooey-eyed at a blast of Administration PR.

This isn't the first time that Taibbi has had a lapse of judgment. He bought the unadulterated Obama spin, as this this 2007 piece and this 2008 article attest. An extract from the latter:

We've become trained to look for the man behind the mask…

But I'm not sure there is a mask when it comes to Barack Obama…

I hear Obama tell audiences about his grandmother and her time working on a bomber assembly line during World War II. Intellectually I know it's the same thing but when you actually watch him in person, you get this crazy sense that these schlock ready-for-paperback patriotic tales really are a big part of his emotional makeup. You listen to him talking about his grandfather waving a little American flag on the Hawaiian beach as he watched the astronauts come in to shore, and you can almost see that these moments actually have some kind of poetic meaning for him, and that he views his own already-historic run as a continuation of that pat-but-inspirational childhood story putting a man on the moon then, putting a black man in the White House now.

The beginning of Taibbi's post excerpts a list in a Huffington Post story that was cribbed and somewhat edited from a post by Mike Lux on Daily Kos. But Lux regularly does messaging for the Administration. It would have been a good precaution to verify his account.

Review: Humax PVR-9150T | Crosat

If you're looking for a workhorse Freeview timeshifter, then the humble Humax PVR-9150T could fit the bill.

It doesn't have a Freeview HD tuner, but that might not be an issue if you're (a) working to a tight budget, (b) looking for a digital recorder for a second room or (c) just need a digital tuner to feed an older TV, in order to give it life and purpose beyond the Digital Switchover.

Design wise, the PVR-9150T is pretty tidy and can be easily housed without rearranging the furniture. Admittedly, the rippled fascia design may not be to everyone's taste, but at least it looks distinctive.

For added convenience, there're some on-body controls plus a CI card slot hidden beneath a fascia flap.

Blowhard Threatens to Keep Blowing Until Walls of Jericho Crumble | Blogs

It is bad enough that were afflicted with Donald Trump, the human Creamsicle, whose whory soundbites and dotty politics has only coarsened with the years and augur him to turn him into a beauty-salon version of the late, unlamented Abe Hirshfeld, that other real estate buffoon who went from comic character to toxic bore.

But now we have Rex Ryan, head coach of the New York Jets, pulling a Sammy Davis, Jr. and proclaiming Ive gotta be me, threatening to bluster for another ten or fifteen years and theres nothing that can be done about it because putting a lid on it, thats just not what hes about, man.

From Kevin Armstrong, New York Daily News:

Elliott Yamin – Free Lyrics

Elliott Yamin – Free Lyrics 

[Verse 1]
Now that fear is out of the way
I'm starting to see myself so clear
Like a light shining into the night
Everybody has a day
When they're criticized for something
But hold on to what you believe

[Bridge]
Tell me what you're hiding from
Everybody's on the run
Movin' so fast got to slow it down and breathe
Hold fast to your dreams
And don't be afraid to fly
Alone in the sky
When you do then

what made milwaukee famous cd amazon

JERRY LEE LEWIS - WHAT MADE MILWAUKEE FAMOUS LYRICS

Its late and she's waiting and I know I should go home

 

But every time I start to leave they play another song

 

Then someone buys another round and wherever drinks are free

 

What's made Milwaukee famous has made a fool out of me

 

Babys begged me not to go so many times before
