New Blogging Lyrics From Ye
The man on a hiatus now, Kanye West has some new lyrics now defending the outraging & uneccessary negative comments from several fashion bloggers concerning both his & his girlfriends Amber Rose's outfits at Paris Fashion Week recently.Ye kicked this flow on his personal blog. “When it’s all said and done, remember the fearless, remember the dreamers, remember those who represent the ghetto… the fairy tale of nothing to something,” written by him in all-caps so you could get it. “I’m briefly saddened by negative comments, but I have to remember those people are scared, incapable or just plain idiots. We are the f***ing rock stars baby, no cocaine, just life". Ye criticized them by saying they “dress mad prude and don’t live fashion".“Clothing is a choice,” “No more politics or apologies!!!!”PETA Vice President Dan Matthews wasn’t happy with Kanye’s choice to wear fur. “Kanye can’t help making himself look like an idiot, whether at an awards show or a fashion show,” he stated in response. “He and his girlfriend look like pathetic creatures from a shabby roadside zoo.”

Saw "Before I Self Destruct"
Saw "BEFORE I SELF DESTRUCT" yesterday and thought it was an interesting
piece. Not really what I had thought that it was going to be, anticipating from the commercials and trailers before hand and I mean that in a good way because I feel they poorly mis-represented it and it greatly exceeded my expectations. I mean it was no masterpiece I would say, but it was so different. Not like any ordinary film youve seen before. It definitely stands out not just by having its own look and it is a good look for and from 50. Speaking of looks, Im gonna go on record and say he had "THE BADDEST !" girls casted into this film. They were EXTREMELY gorgeous and so beautiful I coudnt help but to repeatedly comment on their astounding beauty and in comparison to other films Ive seen in my life. Ive definitely found myself attracted to some actresses in the game from time to time, but in this one, I was like "DAMN! SHE'S BAAAAAAAD!". I couldnt help but to keep commenting on this and ive never seen and responded in this way to a film before. Youll defintiely like the eye candy and he did defintiely take it to the Candy Shop on this 1folks. He has the baddest girls and actresses ive seen in a film to date, thats for sure if anything else. It doesnt sugar coat things either, going into the script which 50 wrote in this directorial debut of his, there are no typical storylines developed here. The violence and the lifestyle being promoted throuhg out the film is a bit much, but thats just what makes it unique and effective and I think 50 knew that when approaching this project. I think the soundtrack could have better used throuhg out the course of the film as far as when certain music was played and utilized however, im sure with 50's music background that may have affected some of his decision choices on the vibe he would be creating, with his music in this project which im sure he wants to promote and have connect with the album too. Clifton Powell did some of his best work to me in this and I would say if nothing else its worth just watching just for that. Him and 50 vibe well together on the screen. And so did the leading lady with 5th as well and their scenes are WELL WORTH it and I think more interesting than some of his work in "Get Rich Or Die Trying" his 1st acting debut in the picture that made him in Hollywood based of his own personal life stories and titled after his 1st mainstream album release under Eminem and Dr. Dre of the same title.
Last night I also saw 50 On Jimmy Kimmel Live last night too promoting the new album/Dvd and Jimmy Kimmel also liked it and thought that 50 did a good job. Even my brother who is not really into rap music and I referred to see it said he actually liked the picture and is watching it over now as we speak. Definitely a classic film, in its own right, right ?.good lokks Fitty.

"The Jelly-Fish Invasion"
"Jellyfish swarm northward in warming world" This Oct. 14, 2009 photo shows a giant jellyfish drifting off Kokonogi in western Japan. Once considered … KOKONOGI, Japan – A blood-orange blob the size of a small refrigerator emerged from the dark waters, its venomous tentacles trapped in a fishing net. Within minutes, hundreds more were being hauled up, a pulsating mass crowding out the catch of mackerel and sea bass.
The fishermen leaned into the nets, grunting and grumbling as they tossed the translucent jellyfish back into the bay, giants weighing up to 200 kilograms (450 pounds), marine invaders that are putting the men's livelihoods at risk.
The venom of the Nomura, the world's largest jellyfish, a creature up to 2 meters (6 feet) in diameter, can ruin a whole day's catch by tainting or killing fish stung when ensnared with them in the maze of nets here in northwest Japan's Wakasa Bay.
"Some fishermen have just stopped fishing," said Taiichiro Hamano, 67. "When you pull in the nets and see jellyfish, you get depressed."
This year's jellyfish swarm is one of the worst he has seen, Hamano said. Once considered a rarity occurring every 40 years, they are now an almost annual occurrence along several thousand kilometers (miles) of Japanese coast, and far beyond Japan.
Scientists believe climate change — the warming of oceans — has allowed some of the almost 2,000 jellyfish species to expand their ranges, appear earlier in the year and increase overall numbers, much as warming has helped ticks, bark beetles and other pests to spread to new latitudes.
The gelatinous seaborne creatures are blamed for decimating fishing industries in the Bering and Black seas, forcing the shutdown of seaside power and desalination plants in Japan, the Middle East and Africa, and terrorizing beachgoers worldwide, the U.S. National Science Foundation says.
A 2008 foundation study cited research estimating that people are stung 500,000 times every year — sometimes multiple times — in Chesapeake Bay on the U.S. East Coast, and 20 to 40 die each year in the Philippines from jellyfish stings.
In 2007, a salmon farm in Northern Ireland lost its more than 100,000 fish to an attack by the mauve stinger, a jellyfish normally known for stinging bathers in warm Mediterranean waters. Scientists cite its migration to colder Irish seas as evidence of global warming.
Increasingly polluted waters — off China, for example — boost growth of the microscopic plankton that "jellies" feed upon, while overfishing has eliminated many of the jellyfish's predators and cut down on competitors for plankton feed.
"These increases in jellyfish should be a warning sign that our oceans are stressed and unhealthy," said Lucas Brotz, a University of British Columbia researcher.
Here on the rocky Echizen coast, amid floodlights and the roar of generators, fishermen at Kokonogi's bustling port made quick work of the day's catch — packaging glistening fish and squid in Styrofoam boxes for shipment to market.
In rain jackets and hip waders, they crowded around a visitor to tell how the jellyfish have upended a way of life in which men worked fishing trawlers on the high seas in their younger days and later eased toward retirement by joining one of the cooperatives operating nets set in the bay.
It was a good living, they said, until the jellyfish began inundating the bay in 2002, sometimes numbering 500 million, reducing fish catches by 30 percent and slashing prices by half over concerns about quality.
Two nets in Echizen burst last month during a typhoon because of the sheer weight of the jellyfish, and off the east coast jelly-filled nets capsized a 10-ton trawler as its crew tried to pull them up. The three fishermen were rescued.
"We have been getting rid of jellyfish. But no matter how hard we try, the jellyfish keep coming and coming," said Fumio Oma, whose crew is out of work after their net broke under the weight of thousands of jellyfish. "We need the government's help to get rid of the jellyfish."
The invasions cost the industry up to 30 billion yen ($332 million) a year, and tens of thousands of fishermen have sought government compensation, said scientist Shin-ichi Uye, Japan's leading expert on the problem.
Hearing fishermen's pleas, Uye, who had been studying zooplankton, became obsessed with the little-studied Nomura's jellyfish, scientifically known as Nemopilema nomurai, which at its biggest looks like a giant mushroom trailing dozens of noodle-like tentacles.
"No one knew their life cycle, where they came from, where they reproduced," said Uye, 59. "This jellyfish was like an alien."
He artificially bred Nomura's jellyfish in his Hiroshima University lab, learning about their life cycle, growth rates and feeding habits. He traveled by ferry between China to Japan this year to confirm they were riding currents to Japanese waters.
He concluded China's coastal waters offered a perfect breeding ground: Agricultural and sewage runoff are spurring plankton growth, and fish catches are declining. The waters of the Yellow Sea, meanwhile, have warmed as much as 1.7 degrees C (3 degrees F) over the past quarter-century.
"The jellyfish are becoming more and more dominant," said Uye, as he sliced off samples of dead jellyfish on the deck of an Echizen fishing boat. "Their growth rates are quite amazing."
The slight, bespectacled scientist is unafraid of controversy, having lobbied his government tirelessly to help the fishermen, and angered Chinese colleagues by arguing their government must help solve the problem, comparing it to the effects of acid rain that reaches Japan from China.
"The Chinese people say they will think about this after they get rich, but it might be too late by then," he said.
A U.S. marine scientist, Jennifer Purcell of Western Washington University, has found a correlation between warming and jellyfish on a much larger scale, in at least 11 locations, including the Mediterranean and North seas, and Chesapeake and Narragansett bays.
"It's hard to deny that there is an effect from warming," Purcell said. "There keeps coming up again and again examples of jellyfish populations being high when it's warmer." Some tropical species, on the other hand, appear to decline when water temperatures rise too high.
Even if populations explode, their numbers may be limited in the long term by other factors, including food and currents. In a paper last year, researchers concluded jellyfish numbers in the Bering Sea — which by 2000 were 40 times higher than in 1982 — declined even as temperatures have hit record highs.
"They were still well ahead of their historic averages for that region," said co-author Lorenzo Ciannelli of Oregon State University. "But clearly jellyfish populations are not merely a function of water temperature."
Addressing the surge in jellyfish blooms in most places will require long-term fixes, such as introducing fishing quotas and pollution controls, as well as capping greenhouse gas emissions to control global warming, experts said.
In the short term, governments are left with few options other than warning bathers or bailing out cash-strapped fishermen. In Japan, the government is helping finance the purchase of newly designed nets, a layered system that snares jellyfish with one kind of net, allowing fish through to be caught in another.
Some entrepreneurs, meanwhile, are trying to cash in. One Japanese company is selling giant jellyfish ice cream, and another plans a pickled plum dip with chunks of giant jellyfish. But, though a popular delicacy, jellyfish isn't likely to replace sushi or other fish dishes on Asian menus anytime soon, in view of its time-consuming processing, heavy sodium overload and unappealing image.

RACIAL CONSPIRACY ?
With the broadcasting of Lincoln Heights on ABCFamily's network, coupled with Sanaa Lathan's role as an actress in "Something New" a film about an African American woman dating a caucasian male, which actually reflects & mirrors her own personal life & Halle Berry's marriage choice, one may question, what is happening in America different.with Kobe Bryant, Ray J, Lamar Odom dating and marrying women of other ethnicities other than that of their African american origin, as men did they attack 1st & make the 1st blow. Well they definitely made the 1st moves publicly.
