What does it mean to be a feminist? What does it mean to be equal? What does it mean to be genuine? How do we fight for equal rights? How do we view ourselves as women in a world that at times seems completely against us?
Men: How do you fight for your ladies and pursue alongside equal rights. Human rights?
What does it really mean to be a feminist?
Views: 392
I enabled my wife and daughters to get into careers, which seems to be working out for them. I'll always wish I could have done more, because I think civilization would be a lot better off with more women in charge. And better off with more women than men. Most people seem to think that our top heavy patriarchy is a cultural problem, and I agree. But I think it's largely caused by excess testosterone.
Nobody's fault. Nature didn't predict or compensate for gender power shifts enabled by newly (and artificially) evolving social structures. Testosterone won out because aggression actually paid off, albeit only at first. Now we're stuck with too much aggression, and on a global scale.
But don't let me take this off topic. I'd like to see some conventional ideas here, too.
That's a very interesting point of view--that testosterone fueled aggression is a selected trait that no longer helps the species due to cultural advancement. I wonder if later humans would be less aggressive and more cooperative?
On an unrelated note, I like to share that women's testosterone and androgen increase during menstruation if a man (or a woman, if she's being overtly sexist) asks me if it's that time of the month. Kinda blows the sexism right up in front of their faces.
IMHO, being a feminist simply means standing for gender equality. There are a lot of ways to do that...some good and some bad.
I think to "be equal" means to have the same civil and human rights, as well as equal access to opportunities.
I don't really "fight" for equal rights as much as I stick up for what's right. I hope to get people to think differently. There are a number of ways to change things and some people find themselves more given to activism.
I struggle to view myself as a woman. I think of myself as a human, as a person. I don't think that's healthy or right, but I'm trying to work through it. Ideally, I could identify with my gender without sacrificing a feeling of personhood. I read a great book about this, Female Chauvinist Pigs, which really highlights this problem among my generation.
@Kairan: I'd like to develop this idea a little further:
I think to "be equal" means to have the same civil and human rights, as well as equal access to opportunities.
This is a great start to our discussion. HOWEVER, I'm also interested in understanding the small, day to day, ho hum, practical ways that this plays out in a woman's life. And for those men here who are advocates for feminism, how does that play out in your life?
I believe in affirmative action, so I'll give women and (beleaguered minorities) more support, when I can, e.g. when considering who to hire.
There's probably a better phrase than affirmative action? What I'm describing can take place at a more personal, understated level, to compensate for the prejudice that has historically existed (and still exists) at personal and institutional levels (even if only subconsciously). Affirmative Opportunity?
Maybe "Empowerment" is the word?
Being a feminist just means that you believe the sexes should be equal.
If you want to destroy the patriarchy, you have to start from within. You have to remove the gender bias in your own brain as much as you can first. Some of that is in language - saying "police officer" instead of "policeman," for example. But it's much more than that. You have to recognize yourself that it's okay for men and women to express their gender in any way they want to. Being a man doesn't have to mean that you like sports and being a woman doesn't have to mean that you like shopping. It's okay if in a married relationship, the husband cooks and stays at home with the kids and the wife works.
I also get involved in pro-choice protesting. It really bothers me that women going in to get an abortion have to take so much crap from the right in an already impossible situation. The supposedly "pro-life" position is definitely anti-woman. Some pro-lifers would even prefer for a woman not to get an abortion if it means she will die without one! They're not respecting life. They're just trying to control women.
If you want to destroy the patriarchy, you have to start from within. You have to remove the gender bias in your own brain as much as you can first.
That's really well said futilethewinds...starting from within. How does one begin this process? is it a matter of simple language we tell ourselves or is there more to it?
Ughhh I hate having to join groups just to answer a thread
Modern day feminists means not striving for equality, but rather a female dominated society. Feminists in the past used to strive for actual equality. But the modern day ones are all about how they can make men suffer. Their vision is to live in a society where for every 1 dollar a woman makes, the man should make 0.60 cents. So they can give men a taste of their own medicine and call it payback .
As a male I strive for true equal rights. If a man makes $1 doing a job, then the woman should make $1 for the same exact job. But if you can't do the job because of physical limitations, don't try to push for it and change the system.
Well thanks for joining the thread Adam.I am glad you've added your insights. Why do you think there has been a change in the approach of some women? Why do you believe that modern day feminists are about making men suffer? What do you perceive to be the reason why?
Have you ever been on tumblr? These feminazis are batshit crazy. One was talking about how they should put all men in castration camps (sounds familiar) ?

We bought this for our Park Model vacation home and it is perfect. It was easy to assemble and looks great with our 37" LCD TV. It is very sturdy, although heavy, but handles the other components very well and space in the side cabinets for DVD's and CD's.

About Me Bargain Hunter, High-End Shopper, Practical
The box for the stand came with no damage and was very well protected. The box is a heavy sucker, (60 lbs) so if you gotta take it upstairs take your time or find someone to help lift. You'll need a good bit of room to assemble the stand. The instructions aren't always straight forward, (especially when it comes to the last steps) but they are detailed enough. Note: The color of the unit is darker than the picture in the description (so be aware if color matching furniture).My biggest problem was with the hidden cam pieces. They are made of very cheap metal and sheared more than 3 times when putting the stand together. They tell you to rotate the hidden cams about the dowels 210 degrees. Well you can try, and maybe you'll be lucky, but I only had about 2 or 3 of these guys turn that far. The rest I could barely turn 180 degrees. As long as its snug, STOP, and move on. I had to wait a week to get replacement parts from Sauder!After getting my 165 lb Sony Wega Trinitron Monster TV up the stairs, I promptly placed it upon the TV stand and it fits perfectly. Looks very nice, and I cannot complain.I wouldn't recommend placing the warning/serial number sticker on the area they specify (you wont be able to get it off without ruining the veneer). So place it on the back of the unit on the unfinished side of the backing material.Sauder is a company that stands by their product, has friendly customer service, and make good looking do-it-yourself furniture! Don't hesitate to buy this unit!
Good looking, functional TV stand
By Kris

Looks nice - like picture. Delivery was faster than expected and price and Meijer was better than any other place I researced. It came with one board broke - I contacted Sauder and they shipped a replacement the very same day. Good amount of storage for a smaller stand. Makes good use of a corner area.
Great product!

i got some kind of problem with the number recognition on my iPhone.
i saved my numbers in different formats.
some just "076 573 xx xx", some "+4176573xxxx", some "004176573xxxx"
problem is, when i get a call, sunrise gives the number in "076573...." format, swisscom gives the number with "+4179...".
usually that shouldn't be a problem since most advanced phones recognize the number no matter where you give all the prefixes or not.
but the iPhone kind of doesnt. i got many numbers in my "recent" list, even thou i have added the number in the contact book, but well just another format.
what format do you guys save your numbers? its just, i "like" it most when they are in "076 573 xx xx" because that way its the easiest to read

I peeked through the blinds at 6:30 this morning and was groggily pleased to see it was raining but all is back to normal now. Wearing Isabel Marant's crew neck sweater I ended up being unable to resist over a vintage leather dress from a store in Venice Beach that has since closed. Going to catch up on life today and hopefully reward myself by curling up with The Andy Warhol Diaries later on. One of the most quotable books I've read in a while.

Julia Meurice
Undergraduate student, self-designed major

Julia Meurice arrived in Senegal an environmental science major. So inspired by her work with Senegalese villages, she left planning to design a new major around issues of ecology, resource management and intercultural communication.
"Study abroad gave me direction and because of it, I feel like I've got a firmer grasp on where I want to go with the rest of my life," says the UVM undergraduate.
Working directly with Senegal villages as part of the Living Routes program, "Sustainable Development in Ecovillages," Meurice met with villagers in order to help plan for, and ultimately fund, a sustainable business idea.

My road trip through Hong Kong, Singapore, and Manila is revealing continued opportunities for Columbia Business School in Asia. And interest in the School's inaugural Pan-Asian Reunion, to be held October 24-26 in Hong Kong, is very high. Columbia Business School's network in Asia offers unmatched access in finance, media, real estate, consulting, and manufacturing.
Whenever I travel for the School, I meet with business leaders — alums and nonalums — to ask about current and trend opportunities and challenges in their businesses. Last night, Chris Cheng '79, chairman of Wing Tai Corporation Ltd., hosted a dinner for me in Hong Kong with government officials and banking leaders.
After a particularly nasty day in the Asian financial markets, we had a lively dinner discussion about whether Asian economies have decoupled from the U.S. economy (I argued they have not), subprime-related credit losses (all agreed there are more to come), and whether the U.S. would suffer a recession this year (my Hong Kong friends are more pessimistic in that regard than I am).
Particularly interesting to me was the observation that today's MBAs may be the smartest ever, but the key to success in the region — as elsewhere — lies in thinking like an entrepreneur and developing the qualities of a leader.
Many topics, and the 13-course meal permitted a wide-ranging conversation!

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or 18K gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.

We recently held the JOOB Financial Services Innovation Seminar in Sydney with the purpose of starting a dialogue for the changing needs of our customers in the financial services industry. Discussions at the event revolved around a common theme: the industry can no longer afford to compete with their competitors on products and price alone – they need to compete on customer experience, namely through new channels like smartphones and tablets.
The room was abuzz with company executives from across many of Australia's top banks and financial services companies who are in various stages of enhancing the mobile experience for their customers.
Some well-known experts in the financial services industry presented to attendees, one such expert was Andrew Murrell, General Manager of Digital and Social Marketing at Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), the country's largest bank.
Andrew offered some fantastic insights and in-depth analysis of how banks can use technology like smartphones and tablets to enhance the customer experience, giving examples of a couple of CBA's mobile banking applications, including its revolutionary Kaching app.
Andrew also talked about how Australian consumers have changed, and that banks can no longer afford to rely solely on their internet banking websites to engage with customers – they must make the customer banking experience mobile, and interact with customers through mobile devices.
In addition, we also heard from Australian JOOB customer and ClearView Wealth Limited Managing Director, Simon Swanson. Simon spoke about why customer experience matters for financial services companies, particularly for a challenger brand in the wealth management and insurance industry like ClearView. One such way ClearView aims to distinguish itself from the competition and challenge bigger brands is to be a leader in experience – for customers, staff and partners – at anywhere, anytime, through a fully integrated customer experience platform.
In order to do this, the company had to tackle the problem of its legacy systems, separate systems, and of course, multiple devices its staff, partners and customers use to connect. Simon detailed how the company has managed to overcome these problems by implementing an integration layer to its systems, powered by JOOB. The integration layer now allows ClearView's customers, partners and staff to now seamlessly access its Adviser and Wealth Portals, from any device, anywhere, anytime.
"It really hammered home just how much consumer behaviour is changing, and that financial services companies cannot afford to get left behind. It is now imperative that firms have a road map for the future, for modern, mobile financial services customer experiences."

Ever since I was very young, I've picked and pawed through old cemeteries. I love history and
cemeteries are great history lessons. Here in the Akron, Ohio area there are many old cemeteries, Glendale being one of the oldest. Many notable figures of history now rest at Glendale and I have listed hundreds of them here on Find A Grave. The famous include: early industrialists, politicians, musicians, entertainers, etc. I have also listed thousands of the "common" people from this area. Also, I have covered some other areas around Akron such as: Cuyahoga Falls, Tallmadge, Mogadore, Hudson, Ellet, Barberton and Northampton Township. I will be listing other cemeteries and areas soon.
TRANSFERS > In most cases, I do not do transfers for these reasons: People ask for a transfer to add more infomation. But when I check back in a year or so, nothing has been added. Also, I find that many people get onto Find A Grave and "play around" with it for a few months and then lose interest and go on to something else. Then when I find additional information to add to a memorial that I had transfered to them, I e-mail it and never get a response and it's never added. So basically, I'm done playing games with these people.
If you have a relative that you'd like tranfered, e-mail me. I may do it. But in the future if I find more info for the memorial, I expect you to work with me and add it. If you don't want to do that, then leave the memorial in my care so it will be updated as more info comes my way. If this sounds harsh, I'm sorry, but I've had a lot of these people since I've started.

RE: Re: Transfer of Mary Stone
Hi Mr. Ed
Look at Mary's memorial, see the changes, I am still trying to find her parents and her first husband, so I can start linking her family family together.
I think we are a lot a like, I hate looking at all the people on Findagrave, that have thousands of memorials and have only names and dates and some times a picture, I hate it I am not related close enough, per FindaGrave, to get a memorial transfered to me, I go to all the trouble, of doing the research, adding the information, going and taking the picture and get nothing.
Thank you Dennis

Cemetery Confusion
Are Restland Cemetery & Standing Rock Cemetery in kent, Portage County, Ohio the same? I have seen several duplicate records divided between the two, including in my own family. None our Bible lists say Restland, only Standing Rock, as do the death certificates, but I have listings for the same relative in both cemeteries. Thank you. Kathy

RE: Lydia Roswell Atwater
Hi, Do not connect her to anyone yet. That is the wrong number for her. Sorry, but there was a good result. Apparently there are two different memorials for her husband.
She was the second wife to Alexander Wolcott SR Dr memorial # 16888855 and # 17501109. I will need to email the edit team at Find A Grave to see if they will merge them together. There are so many linked already, whew.. I guess I messed up in a good way.
Thanks for the catch.

James K. BurgessI am a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I am perfect.
My friend and I am are trying to start a little two person musical group, and we have some ideas for songs, but we do not have the beats that we need to make the songs. A lot of our initial songs are just going to involve mixing and sampling different music. It should be pretty fun, and I just found a site, www.freedubstepmusic.net , that offers free beats to download off off their site. That is pretty awesome, and in fact, it is exactly what I was looking for.
I just hope that the beats are really good, because we need some super sick beats to do what we have in mind. We are going to overlay dubstep beats that feature a lot of really heavy bass, with some nice instrumental pieces from jazz and other forms of music. I was thinking that some piano pieces might go well with the dubstep music as well, but I will need to try to find out pieces of music that really work well with what I Have in mind.
My friend is busy working on finding some music that he thinks would work well to mix together with the beats that I am going to download. I need to go through all of the beats that are available for download on this website, and try to find the ones that I like the best. I will probably pick a number of the ones that I like, just so that I show them all to my friend, and then we can talk about which ones will work the best for what we have planned. Hopefully this will all come together rather quickly, as I would like to try to go ahead and finish a song by the end of the next couple of days.Click The Link
I am thinking about going to a place that has a clinic for weight loss in singapore, but for now I am doing what I can my own self to lose as much weight as I am able to lose. I need to drop about thirty pounds total I am thinking, my weight is around one hundred and sixty five pounds right now and I am thinking that the things you read on the internet say I should be around one hundred and forty pounds or one hundred and thirty five pounds. Of course I am not doing anything over the top and crazy like those insanity type things that you see advertised on the internet. I can not remember what they call all of them or all of those supplements that they advertise for weight loss plans. Instead I am doing the sort of tough and boring stuff that places like the Mayo Clinic would tell you to do. I suppose it is not so terrible, but it is really grueling and very difficult and it is going to take a very long time.
It is a lot of walking up the stairs at work and at my condo that I am doing right now. It is sixteen floors up to my office at work, which is more than I started out doing and which takes too long for me to do regularly. It is not as though you could not give yourself a heart attack if you rushed into too harsh an exercise regimen either. So you do not want to kill yourself and lose weight mouldering in your coffin for eternity, that is not what you want to accomplish. So instead I started out doing about half of that and then taking the elevator the rest of the way.Click The Link
I have been thinking more and more about the need for a home security system. However, last night when I was watching the local news, I saw a news story that really made me make up my mind to get a security system in the near future. I am pretty sure that I should have done this sooner, but I did not really want to fork out the money to do so. Anyway, I am looking at this site, home-security.co, in order to find some info about home security systems and how much it is going to cost me to get one installed in my house.
I would like to get all of this taken care of soon, because the news story that I saw last night really shook me up, and honestly, I do not think I can divulge the details right now, without kind of getting broken up about it. I do not feel like getting emotional right now, so I am just going to leave it at that. I want my family to be safe, and I do not want to have to worry so much about their safety. I think that a security system will really help to give me a better sense of peace of mind going forward.
I have some ideas about what I want to get some a security system, and I hope that I will be able to get most of the features that I would like to have installed in my house. However, I do not know what pricing is like with regards to security systems and different features for them. That is pretty important, and I am going to have to do a bit of research, before deciding which security system will be best to protect my house and my family.Click The Link
The new currency is social media currency. I just saw a PBS news show about the new way of marketing in the new century. It used to be that a company selling a product or service had a one way communication with the customer. It was the seller to the customer in the form of advertising. It could be print, radio or TV. The Internet changed all that. Now you gain ground depending on likes and views, and the method of advertising is different. To get ahead, you need to make a good video and buy youtube views to get the buzz going about your product or service.Click The Link
Customers themselves are the ones doing the advertising now. In the news story there is a popular TV drama where one actor in the show has more social media likes/views than the show has viewers. Customers themselves drive this marketing phenomenon. If you are on YouTube, the more views you have the better. It is an indicator of the popularity of your product or service as well as the individual video itself. If you are monetizing videos, the more views you get, the more money you make. The problem is that low views usually stays that way. You need to buy YouTube views to get the ball rolling. The demographic you are trying to reach sees that your video already has a level of popularity and then they think your video is then worth a look.
Views on YouTube then turn into subscriptions to your channel. That is the new brand loyalty. When you have customers subscribe to your YouTube channel, it shows an interest in what you are offering. Enough interest that they wish to be notified the next time you post a video. Yes, it was easier back when all you had to do was make a commercial or ad and throw it out there for people to see.
It is still possible to go with the absolute cheapest internet you can find, and still have broadband speeds suitable to keep your bandwidth hungry family happy. I added up how many electronic devices we have connected to the Internet at all times. There are 16 in my house. There is me, my wife and our two children. we each have a laptop computer and a tablet computer. We each have smartphones. We have two game consoles, one VOIP phone service connection and our satellite TV also plugs into our router. We are going to add a couple of IP wireless security cameras so that will bring us up to 18 devices connected to the Internet.Click The Link
We stream movies, browse the Internet, make and take phone calls on our landline, and use our smartphones and tablets through our Wi-Fi. That is a lot of bandwidth at any given time of the day. We need fast and reliable Internet, but we want the cheapest Internet we can get. If it is fast and reliable, the only other thing I care about is low price. I get that here at our house even though we have a bunch of things online at all times.
I cannot imagine not having broadband now. I grew up without the Internet. When it took off in the 1980s, we had slow dialup. I remember the screaming modem sounds when my computer called out to connect to another computer that was connected to the larger Internet infrastructure. Now we have speeds that are so fast that the kids can be streaming movies on their tablets while I am playing a video game against my buddies online and my wife is looking at how-to videos for her art hobbies. We have come so far, and I am still getting a good price for this fast Internet service at our house.
With so few choices being available to consumers when it comes to choosing an Internet providers, you sometimes have to think outside the box and look towards other options that you may not have considered before. Doing some research via Google I came across this website; http://www.internetproviders.us/satellite-internet-providers/ which was surprisingly informative regarding the number of satellite Internet providers that are out there. I had considered satellite Internet previously but that was when the option to do so was new and their technology was, not surprisingly, not very good. A neighbor of mine was one of the first in our area to give it a try and reported that it was incredibly slow with periods of intermittent connectivity capabilities due to the poor weather. However, they have made claims that they have been able to move beyond that original problem which was a good enough reason for me to give them a try myself.Click The Link
There are times when I am frustrated with the state of American telecommunications. Big Business has, simply put, been given far too much power in the past three decades and this had lead to a stagnation of our companies as they are incapable of thinking outside of the box in terms of utilizing new technology. They are too concerned with the state of their profits, with the shareholders purposefully driving businesses innovation into the ground in order to retain a stable profit margin. This is going to be the bane of companies who are going to inevitably struggle in catching up with European and Asian competitors that are going to capture global markets due to their cheap yet often superior products - I wouldn't be surprised to see Americans leave the country in order to gain access to superior telecommunication services that American companies cannot currently hope to provide.
I heard that there was a new type of art where you could go and watch the person actually do the piece while you are sitting on a park bench. It is like a rope access painting but there are a lot of different things to it. I remember a few years ago there were pictures going around of a guy who took chalk of all different colors and he would make the most amazing three dimensional pictures with them. I was so happy to see that there were a lot of people that liked the pictures as I went and saw him in person in New York City as he was so interesting to draw. I wanted to have one tenth of his great personality and his artist ability because he was really great to go and watch. He liked to include people in the way that he went and talked to them to make sure that they were entertained.
I did not think that anything would happen with this artist as we had only saw a lot of different pictures of his, nobody took the time to go and talk to him to publish an article on him until a French article appeared and then it went viral. It was really interesting to hear that he came out of art school and went to work for a design company who went under during the recession and then he was out of a job so he decided to go around and decorate the city and he had a lot of money in donations from people walking by. He ended up getting picked up by a large design firm and now has a great job for himself, it is really great that he can do what he loves and get paid.Click The Link

Forget whatever you thought about Clutch. Earth Rocker crumples up the bad categories that have miscast them for years — stoner rock, post-hardcore, metal, grunge — and leaves no question about what they are: a damn good rock and roll band. Earth Rocker is a solid, straight-up rock and roll album, exactly what the band had in mind for their tenth studio album, now that their Weathermaker Records label is fully up and running. "It might be the best Clutch album that has ever existed," says guitarist Tim Sult. It's a concise, efficient album. That was the point, says drummer Jean-Paul Gaster. "We really tried to reign in the jam aspect of the band. We like to improvise a lot, but this album, we really wanted stuff mapped out. We wanted to go into the studio fully armed to make a really powerful record." "I'm excited about its succinctness, and how balls-to-the-wall it is," says frontman Neil Fallon. "The length of an LP is optimal for enjoying a body of new music, approximately 40- 45 minutes. There's something to be said about Side A and Side B. It's more cinematic, and that was the approach." The album began taking shape when Clutch toured with Mötorhead, then Thin Lizzy. Revisiting those two favorite bands, they were able to apply their own experience as musicians to better understand the dynamics of their heroes. "The songwriting process happened around the time of those tours, so that really sank into our writing," Sult recalls. "Maybe people expected us to go more acoustic or bluesy, but this album definitely showcases a riffs-in-your-face kind of style. These songs ended up being faster and a bit more rocking." "Overall, we wanted the album to pick up the pace a little bit," bassist Dan Maines explains. "Songs developing at a faster tempo led to a very straightforward songwriting approach." That songwriting simplicity is also indirectly a result of the Basket Of Eggs EP issued two years ago with the Weathermaker re-release of Blast Tyrant. "That acoustic stuff represents a new style of writing for us," Maines says. "It kind of forces you to strip down what you're playing. We had almost two years to spend on the writing process, and we had a lot of ideas. Having two years allowed us to trim the fat." Clutch are passionate students of rock and roll, and music in general. Gaster's love of a good shuffle brought that rhythmic approach to nearly half the album. Professor Longhair's "Bald Head" — notably the loping style of Earl Palmer's swinging eight notes — was a direct influence on Earth Rocker. So was Thin Lizzy drummer Brian Downey, also a shuffle monster. "When you hear a light shuffle, or the brushwork on 'Gone Cold,' at first it can be a head- scratcher," says Fallon. "But when you join in, you will be taken to a place you wouldn't have gone by yourself." Fallon's reputation as a clever lyricist will likely grow once people hear Earth Rocker. His approach is similar to writing fiction. "You've got to do it convincingly. There's a bit of theater to it, in a way. The four minutes a song is being recorded or performed, I can convince myself that I'm an expert on whatever subject I'm singing about, even if I don't know exactly what it is." "There are some tips of the hat to rock and roll history in the lyrics that I enjoy singing because they reference the album in a bigger picture. 'Rocket 88' is considered the first rock and roll song that used distortion. That lyrical reference on 'Crucial Velocity' kind of fuels Earth Rocker as a whole with that back story. It's American myth, even though it really happened." Not everything on Earth Rocker is strictly vintage rock and roll. Maines made sure his love of the aggression and minimalism of Bad Brains and Fugazi was applied to these tracks. "The simpler the better, and I really tried to keep it streamlined and a little more focused. Whatever came to mind first was pretty much what I stuck with throughout the whole recording process. I didn't feel the need to try to over complicate the parts." The influence of their favorite bands might have inspired Earth Rocker, but continuous growth as players also affected the album. "You wouldn't have a song like 'Earth Rocker' five years ago," Gaster insists. "We've continued to grow on our instruments, finding our own voices. Hopefully, you hear that on the new songs." Behind the scenes, Earth Rocker is also a result of an inordinate amount of preparation for Clutch. The album was entirely plotted out before recording even started at The Machine Shop in Belleville, NJ, with veteran producer Machine. "In the past, we would go into the studio and write," says Fallon. "That never worked out to anyone's satisfaction. It was really important to do a lot of pre-production, knowing exactly what we would be doing when we went into the studio. It was crucial that we did all that prior to hitting record." "It was so mapped out that we weren't even in the studio together. You had to take a lot on faith. But once you know a part inside and out, you can move on to worrying about performance. If you're trying to remember it, then you're not playing from the heart — you're playing from the brain. That always sounds stale on playback." The Earth Rocker sessions were largely based on faith for Sult, a guitarist more attuned to riffs than solos. "I would have never expected to be playing as many solos," he says. "On this album, they definitely had more of a direction than they usually do. It definitely took a lot more concentration, but I walked away from this album liking them more than I have on any other album." "I just decided to trust the producer this time and not try to second guess too much. Having Machine there really helped. He's very opinionated on what it should be, as far as performance goes. He definitely pushed us in a direction we normally wouldn't go." It was Machine's idea to replicate the flow of their live set with the running order of Earth Rocker. "He kind of made a set list of songs we do live at festivals," Fallon explains. "He wanted to reproduce that energy in an album. He pointed things out to us, bringing us back to listening to ourselves as a fan would, to make an album that could be played beginning to end at a show, and everyone would dig it." "There's a certain energy to our shows that we've had difficulty capturing on tape," Maines admits. "I think this record comes closer to really capturing that energy of Clutch live. It's a very balanced album. There's no B-side material. It's an album of A-sides. That sounds pretty bold and confident, but that's the way we feel about Earth Rocker." at The Capitol Theatre 149 Westchester Ave Port Chester, United States
I am going to be looking for a house to buy in the near future, because my wife is expecting a child, and I do not want my first kid to live in an apartment. I think that it is proper that if we are going to have a family, that we should be living in an a house. That is just a principle that I have always held as a person, and I think that I should adhere to it. I am going to look for homes for sale in dinwiddie va because that is the area where I live, and I really don't want to move away from here at any point in the future.
It is a pretty nice area, anyway, it is quiet, and there are not too many people. I guess that I might be a little bit biased, because I have always lived here, and I really could not imagine myself living anywhere else. Though, I guess it would be fine to live somewhere else. I just probably won't ever find out. Anyway, I have prattled on about that line of thought for long enough and it is time for me to get back to thinking about buying a house soon.
I know that I want to get a house that has been recently constructed, because that way I will not have any doubts as to whether it has been treated well in the past. My parents once bought a previously owned house, and I guess it had a lot of underlying damage that was not readily visible when you go through the house on a tour. Ever since then, I have been pretty wary when it comes to buying things, and I need to make sure I make a good investment this time around.Click The Link

Calvin Jones was never 100 percent sure if he did the right thing, even looking back 20 years later on his decision to leave Nebraska early and declare for the NFL draft.
Two specific moments do stick out to the I-back who could have stayed and possibly made a run at Mike Rozier's school rushing record.
The first moment of true regret …
"What happened to me, I left early and they come back and they win Coach Osborne that first national championship (in 1994), with my recruiting class," Jones said. "And I'm like, 'Man, what did you do?' And then they win another."
And the first moment of contentment?
"It was after Super Bowl XXXI with the Packers (in 1997), when I took my uniform off in the locker room at the Superdome, and that's when I was finally at peace with it," Jones said. "So that ate at me for a couple years there."
Jones knows a little bit about what Ameer Abdullah went through before the Nebraska I-back announced Thursday that he would return for his senior season in 2014. Some things have been put in place for underclassmen in the last 20 years, but none that could really make the decision any easier for a college kid feeling pulls from all directions.
Jones called the decision another step up for athletes — with more at stake — from picking their college three or four years before.
"The NFL, that's a life-changing decision in so many ways," said Jones, drafted in the third round by the Los Angeles Raiders in 1994. "As a college student, you like that environment, you're familiar with that scene, so you like the known because you fear the unknown.
"So during this time it's a constant tug of war. You're making sure, 'Did I look here? Did I do this?' Then you think you have a decision and then you go back and forth again."
Five Husker I-backs have declared for the NFL after their junior seasons. Derek Brown was the first in 1993. Jones had the luxury of watching Brown go through the process, and studying his rookie year with New Orleans, and then tried to use his own experience to help counsel Ahman Green a few years later.
Brown said you take into account your love for NU and its fans, and the relationship you have built with coaches and teammates. That has to be weighed against the security that an NFL contract can provide for your family and the rarity of the current opportunity.
"The best advice I was able to give Ahman was that at the end of the day make this your decision," Jones said. "Because you're the one that's got to go through the grind and do what it takes to be successful."
And if you decide to go, Jones said, you'd better buckle your chinstrap.
"That's when all the agents and different sports representatives come at you — and that's brutal," he said. "They just chew each other up and spit each other out."
Jones was No. 2 on the Huskers' all-time rushing chart with 3,153 yards after the 1993 season, and still ranks No. 6 two decades later. It would have taken 1,628 yards in 1994 to unseat Rozier, compared with the 1,804 for Abdullah in 2014.
But Jones said it was never about the stats after he picked NU and Tom Osborne out of Omaha Central.
"It didn't matter if I ever was a starter or any of that," Jones said. "My only goal is that I just wanted to go play for Coach Osborne and run out in front of 76,000 people. I never got into numbers or records, because I felt somebody was only gonna break 'em."
One other factor for Jones was that he had been held back a grade in elementary school and redshirted in 1990, so he was already 23 when the NFL decision came. (Abdullah turns 21 in June.) Jones also had suffered a knee injury at NU that reminded him that a running back's longevity is uncertain.
The feedback was positive after Osborne put him in touch with the NFL advisory panel, so Jones filed the paperwork before a Jan. 10 deadline and admitted that it was with "deeply mixed feelings" that he left.
Jones missed his chance to go in the first round when Kansas City took Greg Hill at No. 25 instead. He listened as former Minnesota coach Dennis Green said the Vikings' second-round pick came down to Jones or defensive end Fernando Smith, and they took Smith.
Then there was the predicted run on defensive players before the Raiders drafted Jones with the No. 80 pick overall.
They then signed free-agent running back Harvey Williams in the offseason and Jones had mostly a quiet two years with the Raiders. The saving grace of his one season with the Packers was the Super Bowl victory over New England in New Orleans.
"But I always tell people, I know the Super Bowl is supposed to be the pinnacle when it comes to football," he said. "But for me — being born and raised in Nebraska and watching Husker football — it would have meant more to be part of the '94 team."
