Christine Curtis: "Moving Against The Current, Making Her Soul, Her Mind, & Her Gift Stronger..." (Bmore)

2011-02-24T13:36:00.002-05:00

Born in Baltimore, MD on February 7, 1986, Christine Curtis was born to Adrienne G. Curtis and Raymond Manley. Being the younger of two old brothers, her life began very sheltered and protected, but that was soon to change. As soon as she was able to walk and coordinate her movements she was put into dance class. She danced with Flair Studios until she was old enough to decide not to go back, but she still found her way to a stage even if she weren’t dancing. Through singing at church and local talent shows she realized that what she wanted to do the most was sing and make music. After a custody battle, Christine was sent to live with her father in Baltimore County and that is where her journey with music began. When she was just a child at the tender age of 9 she moved with her father. She started using the voice recorder on her father's stereo and recorded many songs. She had no idea then that music would follow her through her entire life.
             She danced all the way through high school, but she still grabbed a microphone whenever possible. Whether it were for a middle school showcase, or a high school senior farewell, or fashion show, she was there singing. She started working towards her dreams seriously at the age of 13. She started first with a childhood friend and together they formed a duet then after meeting their previous manager, they formed a group. She found herself being the main writer of the group. They performed at talent shows hosted by Coppin State College and talent shows held at Security Square Mall, gaining a taste of the real world and learning the necessities to becoming good performers. When that group fell apart she joined another local group entitled Madison at the age of 15 and stayed true to the group until that groups time ended also. After finally attempting a solo career, she decided to take some time off and felt she needed to grow. She knew that if music were meant for her then she would try again.
          At 22 years old, every Monday night she would sing at a karaoke bar and she would be asked if she had a demo or a manager. Having neither she took the cards and prepositions that were given as a sign that it was time to get back to her first love. In the middle of her first semester back at school she was laid off from work not too much later after being robbed. Both these tragedies gave her insight and she took as a blessing, for her lay off gave her free time to record. The first day she stepped in the studio, her experience put into one word was “indescribable”. That small spark lit an immense fire and it has not died down ever since. Now much wiser and stronger, having been though tears and troubled times, seeing loved ones die, and friends fall victim to tragedies, but being able to come through every obstacle victorious, she is ready to share her love and gift with the world.
            What does she aspire to do? Inspire someone else and bring music back to the heart and into its purest form. She wants to let the world see her story and be able to find their way into their own. Her music will not only invite the audience into her world, but it will ask for the hands of her listeners to allow her music into their world. "I feel that life has given me so much to say that once my music has reached the masses, it will never be the same. Real music is needed and I am ready to bring it back to its grassroots. To a place where music is timeless, heart wrenching, and life changing." Her time is now. Ready or not, she is here….

Poetry Corner: Brittany Michelle..... To Give Up Is To Give In But Thats Not Happening... (CHI)

2011-02-17T11:14:00.000-05:00

Self-Improvement (A Hoagland Imitation)

Just before she ran off like a child

To the warmth of her mother’s arms,

She asked the young man

To improve her life.

Using nothing but his fingertips

to make hairs come to full attention

over and over, as many times as he wanted

until chills, like an arctic breathe of air,

cooled the heat between her thighs.

Imagine him at practice every evening

more inspired than he ever was at arithmetic,

beads of sweat sprouting on his brow

thinking her body, her moan,

seeing, even before the admitting of wanted relations,

the quadratic equation of her climax

yield to the logic

of his simple math.

Maybe he watched her

walk from the car to her door

so that he could see the switch in her hips,

a silent cry to him

of hips that should be held

Maybe, as she sipped

a drink through a thick bottle,

he visualized the future

as a general standing on the shore,

one foot elevated on her body

to revel in his exhaustive victory.

Of course, he loved her and left her;

never cared about a notch to be looped

round his belt and hung

like a moose-head of achievement

Sometimes we desire

what we cannot or should not have.

There’s no need,

or we are convinced that our true desire

is that which we never claimed to want at all.

Often, what we make of ourselves

is not who we are

but life-like characters crafted from

fictitious tales that we wish to call our own.

The suffering

we all feel

becomes a necessity

we learn to numb

The climaxes of suffering are complex

intricately weaved through every moment.

She never learned to love again.

So the sidewalks that we stomp on

full of numbed bodies and spirits

are full of handed-down pains

though they were told it was their own craving.

2011-02-09T12:58:00.002-05:00

In 2009, Solo and Treyse joined the team bringing their Unique Rap and mixed R & B Flow. This allowed the teams passion for music to expand into a powerful movement, Living by the moto of "Get Every Money," by any means. From this aspect "GET'EM GANG"was formed.

At a young age they all had a mutual passion for making music. These young men all met in North East Baltimore. After vibing together, they developed a hobby of creating music. In 2006, Buzzo and Young Tweez developed a close relationship. These two and Checkmate formed the former group "Da Kingz", with the help of other neighborhood friends. Their first performance was at Northern High School Talent show in 2007, with a feature from 810, a local artist. Recieving alot of love from the crowd made them prepare to do many more shows in the future. Toward the end of 2008, Buzzo founded the name "GET'EM GANG".

On January 1, 2009, Get'em Gang did their very first showcase at Club Krush (Belvedere Hotel), with a guest performance from Ty Baby, a former group member of MLC. In the end they did so well they were welcomed back two more times. After that Get'em Gang has had show cases at varies venues including The Black Hole Night Club, performing there multiple times and a competition for 92.3, the local radio station. As well as open mic shows at Contrast Hall, La'Son Bar & Lounge, and Eldorados Gentlemen's Club, in which they won 1st prize. That included a day with adult entertainers Kapri Styles and Roxy Reynolds, as well as a photo shoot from Bmore rap.com. Get'em Gang has co-hosted a few parties with local party promotors, such as Party Marty (Ciroc Boyz Ent.) at Club Uzo's and parties with Big Les Productions at Club Gossip. They have also released plenty of mixtapes for the streets, such as "The Dynasty" (2006, 156 copies sold), "The Blackout" (2007, 198 copies sold), Young Tweez's "Real Recognize Real" (2008, 203 copies sold), "Best of B-more -Young Tweez" (2008,172 copies sold), Buzzo's "Hood Property" (2008, 160 copies sold),Checkmate's "The Last Move" (2009, 183 copies sold).

Poetry Corner: Ebony Robinson.... "I wish I had met her before" & [untitled]

2011-02-02T16:08:00.001-05:00

I wish I had met her before

I wish I had met her before

maybe I could have loved her better

when I promised her forever, it was in perfect confidence

now I sit holding the fragments of what we were

loving her was easy

she shined light into my darkness

but I still couldn't find my way out

my demons still haunted me

I found refuge within her walls

but I could only stay for a little while

I loved her more than anything

but I still broke her heart

[untitled]
Sometimes it cuts like a knife
I sit consumed in the regret, drowning in the what ifs
Haunted by your memory
And sometimes I just try to pretend like you never existed
Act like I don’t care on that “fuck that bitch” type shit
A facade that I wear well
But I’m exposed in those moments when we walk past each other in the street
Our eyes meet and the words the words that I try so desperately to deny come pouring out through the gateways to my soul, the portals that can bring nothing but truth
The words that if uttered would shatter the universe
I miss you.
And its funny how your ability to see through me was what I once loved about you
But now it seems to be a cruel insult added to injury
Because we both know that vulnerability was never my thing
I refuse to admit that I am hurting, especially to you
But its those moments when our eyes meet... you see

DOPENESS...

Money from the previous week, greets my palm
Smell of my hard work, paying off
A grin so big, Uncle Sam couldn't wipe off
Cut my check in half, now all my bills paid off
Ha
But this is not like before
First pussy was the plan, now it money by the grands
Over these social networks, i tried to make them understand
You can tell alot about a man... alot
Just looking thru his daily post
& pay attention to what he boast
Is it rise & grind , money on his mind, Thank God & dont forget to first add the pound sign
Maybe he looking for a dime fine as wine
Or plotting on a college kid to rob next time
Im more so concerned with the world and its daily affairs
Birds falling from air and fish floating on bay surfaces
Politicians lying and athletes operate with no morals & principles
Telling me how i should live..... like the youth, im too stubborn n say fuck that shit
Imma just do me...
Sounds like a full proof plan...
Yea imma do me..
Look at all my haters, mad cuz im doing me..
Hold up...
I always say i dont give a fuck about these haters, but in every song i keep acknowledging these haters
Damn i guess i do give a fuck about these haters
..... Oh well thats life .
Hi Haters. Even tho like me ur just giving ur opioion on everyone else.

World Exclusive! 2012 Lexus LFA Tested

2010-03-30T14:22:00.001-04:00

Finally, the yammering and chin pulling is over. It’s time to see if Lexus’s long-time-coming LFA supercar makes supercar numbers. We’ve strapped on the gear, we’ve burned the gas, and we’ve sorted the data. And as far as we know, we’re the first to have done so. Proving that it still has plenty of budget, Lexus parent Toyota jetted one of the prototypes of the $375,000 carbon-fiber LFA across the Pacific, put it solo into an enormous truck with enough empty space to hold another six or eight LFAs, and hauled it to Arizona for us. Toyota’s own Phoenix-area proving ground being closed to visitors and especially closed to media, we went over to the Nissan Technical Center North America’s 3050-acre facility in Stanfield, Arizona, about 40 minutes south of Phoenix, where Nissan happily rents track time to anyone who’s paying.

Chile earthquake may have shortened days

2010-03-02T16:08:00.002-05:00

The massive 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile may have changed the entire Earth's rotation and shortened the length of days on our planet, a NASA scientist said Monday.

The quake, the seventh strongest earthquake in recorded history, hit Chile Saturday and should have shortened the length of an Earth day by 1.26 milliseconds, according to research scientist Richard Gross at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

"Perhaps more impressive is how much the quake shifted Earth's axis," NASA officials said in a Monday update.

Top 10 Most Dangerous Foods

2010-02-23T18:14:00.000-05:00

1. Hot Dogs

In a new paper, the American Academy of Pediatrics says hot dogs are also a choking hazard to children and should come with a warning label. About 17% of food-related asphyxiations in those younger than 10 are caused by hot dogs, according to a 41-state study cited in the paper.

2. Fugu

Served in paper-thin slices by expert chefs, fugu combines luxury with a high-stakes gamble. The intestines, ovaries and liver of fugu (or blowfish) contain a poison called tetrodotoxin, which is 1,200 times deadlier than cyanide. The toxin is so potent that a lethal dose is smaller than the head of a pin, and a single fish has enough poison to kill 30 people.

3. Ackee

In Jamaica, the ackee fruit is a mixed blessing. Though originally native to West Africa, it migrated to Jamaica in 1778 and is now the country's national fruit. If improperly eaten, though, ackee can cause what has been dubbed the Jamaican Vomiting Sickness — which, other than the self-explanatory symptoms, can lead to coma or death. Unripe ackee fruit contains a poison called hypoglycin, so preparers must be careful to wait until the fruit's protective pods turn red and open naturally.

4. Peanut Panic

Don't let Mr. Peanut's top hat and monocle fool you — beneath that gentlemanly exterior lies one deadly little nut if you're one of the roughly 1% of the population that has a peanut allergy. It's the most common cause of food-allergy deaths, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.

5. Leafy Greens

Leafy greens — including spinach, lettuce, cabbage, arugula and kale — were listed as the riskiest foods of 2009, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which is regulated by the FDA. The group identified 363 separate outbreaks linked to the veggies last year; 240 of those cases were linked to food from restaurants.

6. Rhubarb

Rhubarb, the vegetable so celebrated for its role in pastries that it's also known as the "pie plant," has a kick to it. While rhubarb has a medicinal history originating in Asia, ingesting a large amount of the leaves can cause poisoning.

7. Tuna

tuna has become one of the most widely consumed fish in the world. It also has one of the worst reputations. A well-publicized 2004 U.S. government advisory warned consumers against eating too much of the fish out of concern that the high mercury levels could damage the nervous system and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

8. Cassava

Better known to Americans as tapioca, the pudding favorite is produced from the roots of this bush-like plant. But the crop can have deadly consequences. If prepared incorrectly, the cassava plant can produce cyanide, a deadly compound when consumed.

9. Coffee

Aside from the possibility of increased heart rate, trouble sleeping and discoloration of teeth, there's another a way that a cup of joe can be detrimental to your well being. Call it the burned-crotch effect or the java jump and jive, because when that hot liquid hits your lap, you'll stop at nothing to end the pain.

10. Mushrooms

Aside from hallucinogenic properties, mushrooms can also kill. Varieties like the Death Cap, Destroying Angels and Deadly Webcap are highly poisonous and capable of inducing death

The men behind famous diseases

2010-02-17T16:22:00.000-05:00

1. Crohn's disease

The inflammatory digestive disease could just have easily ended up with the name Ginzburg's disease or Oppenheimer's disease. In 1932, three New York physicians named Burrill Bernard Crohn, Leon Ginzburg, and Gordon Oppenheimer published a paper describing a new sort of intestinal inflammation. Since Crohn's name was listed first alphabetically, the condition ended up bearing his name.

2. Salmonellosis
Yes, the salmonella menace that haunts undercooked chicken is named after a person. Daniel Elmer Salmon was a veterinary pathologist who ran a USDA microorganism research program during the late 19th century.
Although Salmon didn't actually discover the type of bacterium that now bears his name -- famed epidemiologist Theobald Smith isolated the bacteria in 1885 -- he ran the research program in which the discovery occurred. Smith and his colleagues named the bacteria salmonella in honor of their boss.

3. Parkinson's disease
James Parkinson was a busy fellow. While the English apothecary had a booming medical business, he also dabbled in geology, paleontology, and politics; Parkinson even published a three-volume scientific study of fossils. Following a late-18th-century foray into British politics where he advocated a number of social causes and found himself briefly ensnared in an alleged plot to assassinate King George III, Parkinson turned his attention to medicine. Parkinson did some research on gout and peritonitis, but it was his landmark 1817 study "An Essay on the Shaking Palsy" that affixed his name to Parkinson's disease.

4. Huntington's disease
George Huntington wasn't the most prolific researcher, but he made his papers count. In 1872, a fresh-out-of-med-school Huntington published one of two research papers he would write in his life. In the paper, Huntington described the effects of the neurodegenerative disorder that now bears his name after examining several generations of family that all suffered from the genetic condition.

5. Alzheimer's disease
In 1901, German neuropathologist Alois Alzheimer began observing an odd patient at a Frankfurt asylum. The 51-year-old woman, Mrs. Auguste Deter, had no short-term memory and behaved strangely. When Mrs. Deter died in 1906, Alzheimer began to dissect the patient's brain, and he presented his findings that November in what was the first formal description of presenile dementia.

6. Tourette syndrome
Credit George Gilles de la Tourette for his modesty. When the French neurologist first described the illness that now bears his name in 1884, he didn't name it after himself. Instead, he referred to the condition as "maladie des tics." Tourette's mentor and contemporary Jean-Martin Charcot renamed the illness after Tourette.Tourette didn't have such great luck with patients, though. In 1893, a deluded former patient shot the doctor in the head. The woman claimed that she lost her sanity after Tourette hypnotized her. Tourette survived the attack.

7. Hodgkin's lymphoma
British pathologist Thomas Hodgkin first described the cancer that now bears his name while working at Guy's Hospital in London in 1832. Hodgkin published the study "On Some Morbid Appearances of the Absorbent Glands and Spleen" that year, but the condition didn't bear his name until a fellow physician, Samuel Wilks, rediscovered Hodgkin's work.

8. Bright's disease
The kidney disease bears the name of Richard Bright, an English physician and colleague of Hodgkin's at Guy's Hospital. Bright began looking into the causes of kidney trouble during the 1920s, and in 1927 he described an array of kidney ailments that eventually became known as Bright's disease. Today, doctors understand many of the symptoms historically clumped together as Bright's disease are in fact different maladies, so the term is rarely used.

9. Addison's disease
Guy's Hospital was apparently the place to work in the 19th century if you wanted to have a disease named after you. Thomas Addison, a colleague of Bright and Hodgkin at Guy's Hospital, first described the adrenal disorder we call Addison's disease in 1855. On top of this discovery, Addison also published an early study of appendicitis.

10. Tay-Sachs disease
Although both of their names are attached to this genetic disorder, Warren Tay and Bernard Sachs didn't work together. In fact, they didn't even work in the same country. Tay, a British opthalmologist, first described the disease's characteristic red spot on the retina in 1881. In 1887 Bernard Sachs, a colleague of Burrill Crohn at Mount Sinai Hospital, described the cellular effects of the disease and its prevalence among Ashkenazi Jews.

11. Turner syndrome
The chromosomal disorder got its name from Oklahoma doctor Henry Turner, who first described the condition in 1938.

12. Klinefelter's syndrome
The genetic condition in which males have an extra X chromosome bears the name of Harry Klinefelter, a young Boston endocrinologist who published a landmark study while working under the tutelage of endocrinology star Dr. Fuller Albright in 1942. Albright pushed his young protégé to be the lead author of the paper that described the condition, so the young Klinefelter's name is forever associated with the syndrome.

13. Asperger's syndrome
Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger first described the syndrome that now bears his name in 1944 after observing a group of over 400 children who suffered from what Asperger described as "autistic psychopathy." Interestingly, since Asperger's research was all written in German, his contributions to the literature went unrecognized until much later. The term "Asperger's syndrome" didn't come into widespread usage until 1981.

Verizon smartphones to get Skype app

2010-02-17T16:16:00.003-05:00

Verizon Wireless and Skype announced a partnership Tuesday to bring the Internet calling service to nine of the carrier's 3G smartphones beginning in March.

With the free Skype Mobile application, Verizon (VZ, Fortune 500) smartphone users can make and receive unlimited free calls to other users who have Skype.

They can also use it to call any international phone number at Skype's standard rates, which are much lower than Verizon's international wireless calling rates. Calls abroad through Skype start at 2.1 cents per minute, and monthly unlimited packages are also available. The app will also let Skype users exchange instant messages.

"With any partnership, we're looking to do what our consumers want. In this case, they asked for Skype to be untethered from their PCs," Skype's chief executive, Josh Silverman, told CNNMoney.com.

Skype Mobile will be available on nine of Verizon's 3G smartphones: Research in Motion's (RIMM) BlackBerry Storm, Storm 2, Curve 8330, Curve 8530, 8830 World Edition, and Tour 9630; Motorola's (MOT, Fortune 500) Droid and Devour; and HTC's Droid Eris.
