After: Not Ready for Demo
Sally completely redid the house, and put on an addition for extra space. She thinks the best part of the remodel is how appreciative neighbors are that she saved the house from demolition. "Almost every passerby will have something to say," she says.

Park Information
Old Town San Diego State Historic Park presents the opportunity to experience the history of early San Diego by providing a connection to the past.
Learn about life in the Mexican and early American periods of 1821 to 1872. Even today, life moves more slowly in this part of San Diego, where the hustle and bustle is balanced with history and fiestas. Visitors are offered a glimpse into yesteryear, as converging cultures transformed San Diego from a Mexican pueblo to an American settlement. San Diego became California's first Spanish settlement when a mission and fort were established here in 1769. Later, it passed into the hands of the newly made Mexican government before gaining statehood in the United States after the Mexican-American War.
The core of restored original historic buildings from the interpretive period are complemented by reconstructed sites, along with early twentieth century buildings designed in the same mode. Five original adobe buildings are part of the historic park, which include museums, unique retail shops, and several restaurants. The Historic Plaza remains a special place for gatherings and historic activities. Visitors can also experience a working blacksmith shop, enjoy music, see or touch the park's burros, and engage in activities that represent early San Diego.
The park is located on San Diego Avenue and Twiggs Street in San Diego, and is conveniently adjacent to the Old Town Transit Center, with Coaster, Trolley, and MTS Bus service.

Let There Be Light
By Richard Eder
Published: July 27, 2003
By Marianne Wiggins.
383 pp. New York:
Simon & Schuster. $25.
Ray Foster first sees Opal upside down, a shimmering reflection in the iridescent glass bubble that swirls at the tip of her father's blowpipe. A self-taught science adept, Fos has been driving through a hard rain to the North Carolina shore to count shooting stars for a home-brewed hypothesis about light. His truck sputters and dies outside the glass workshop. Sturdy, right side up and no longer shimmering, Opal marches out, opens the hood, dries the magneto and gets the engine going.
Shooting stars and iridescence, and a wiped-down engine. They are among the counterings of soul and body, of immortal longings and mortal contrivance, in one of the most suggestively original love stories in our current fiction. These pairings serve a broader design as well, one that runs from World War I to the development of the atomic bomb. They stand as the moral poles of an individual, for whom tinkering American idealism is gradually flattened by the impersonal weight of technology and economic concentration.
Marianne Wiggins has written something approaching an epic, and it could have been dangerous. She is a writer who takes wild risks of style and story. She gets where she's going by going too far, and that can mean going too far the wrong way.
Her novel ''John Dollar'' was a rending, mesmerizing novel of eight girls marooned on an island. Its beauty left its readers all the more defenseless against its horror. There was a splendid short-story collection, ''Herself in Love.'' Two more recent novels -- written a few years after a fatwa-forced existence hiding out with Salman Rushdie, then her husband -- claimed sweeping imaginative territory, but made awkward if fitfully brilliant efforts to occupy it.
There is roughness in ''Evidence of Things Unseen,'' an occasional grandiloquent reach beyond its fictional grasp. Rarely, you sense Wiggins spurring her story to lift it to the next stage, or chivying a sentence to snare a sublimity. This time, though, she has schooled her winged horse to transport human riders.
Even with their epic stirrings her characters are wryly, plangently particular. When their voices soar, it is from the grit of country speech. The journey of Fos and Opal through America's 1920's, 30's and 40's is up and down and eventually downhill, matching the author's sense of the course taken by our national virtues. But it is a discursive, resilient descent; one that arouses in the reader, along with sadness over what is being lost, exhilaration that it ever existed.
Fos begins in 1918 as one of a bunch of North Carolina recruits in the American Expeditionary Force in France. They went ''for valor, decency and hell like they'd never known.'' With no detectable join, Wiggins merges this Appalachian twang with something darker and larger. ''Not one among them who survived was proud of it in any way that didn't cast a shadow back across his pride.''
Light, Fos volunteers when recruiters ask what he is good at. His untutored passion, speculative and mystical, is for starlight, phosphorescent plankton, lightning bugs, radium: natural, not man-made, illumination. Naturally, since the shortest military distance is a broken line, two British officers ''with more brass than a church organ between them'' (twang again) put him in a workshop making fireworks and colored flares to light up the trenches. ''So that the boys could see what they were shooting at. See death coming, when it came.''
Fos's wartime friendship with the unit's photographer, nicknamed Flash, leads to partnership in a photography business in Knoxville. When he's not working in the studio he tours county fairs, putting on fireworks displays and letting customers examine the bones of their feet in his portable X-ray machine. His passion, though, is tinkering with notions about phosphorescence; in particular the thought that it increases when the night sky is at its brightest.
Thus the trip to the coast, timed to the Perseid meteor shower. His truck, with a sign reading ''Phenomenologist'' (he figures it ought to mean someone who investigates phenomena), carries the X-ray machine and a jar of fireflies whose performance is to be measured at the height of the shooting-star display.
Nature has other things than light, though. It has rain, and it has love. Fos had left this last to Flash, an exuberant woman-chaser, while he chased his scientific speculations. Opal changes all that. Their wet meeting at the truck, she wiping, he noticing, she noticing his noticing; also, accidental brushings of arms, a loose button and a Perseid shower of casually exploratory yet charged remarks: these ensnare the reader almost as thoroughly as the couple. We do not so much read as eavesdrop.
In a few hours Fos and Opal are lying on the beach in Kitty Hawk, where lovemaking mingles with star counting. She works as a bookkeeper, so she does the counting. She is the practical one, he the awkward celestial idealist; and the distinction runs through the book even while periodically dissolving. He's been out in the world and seen a war; by contrast to her crimped small-town life, he offers a welcome if drifty openness. ''As much as she was headstrong, single-minded and self-made, she could see a vision of herself taking shape in Fos's eyes that she liked better.''

Neither is riding in the cold, but riding in either condition wearing the wrong gear can be absolutely miserable. Thankfully the Mercury Jacket has been by my side to shield me from both elements. Designed in England, the folks know a thing or two about riding in cold and wet conditions. The Mercury jacket is made from heavy duty nylon with extra material in the likely impact zones and features a Teflon coating to resist dirt-- The Mercury's long list of features includes Knox CE armor in the shoulders and elbows, and a 8-inch zipper along the bottom to attach a pair of riding pants. British Motorcycle Gear says the jacket is also waterproof, windproof and breathable. The twin full-length flaps protecting the front zipper ensure that no water or wind reach the rider's chest, while reflective material on the shoulders and arms help you to bee seen at night. There is also a full-length removable liner to keep you warm on those cooler rides, and a whole slew of hook-and-loop straps and various buttons along the arm and chest area to ensure a correct fit. Normally I save my opinion about a product until the end, but this time I'm going to spoil the surprise early. I like this jacket.. A Lot…Unlike some other jackets in which the armor is only comfortable in the riding position, I can wear the Mercury jacket on or off the bike. It's that comfortable. If you are looking for a quality jacket with all the amenities at a great price, look no further". Rider Magazine

! TOP PICK: BEST CLASSIC LEATHER MOTORCYCLE JACKET "From the moment we opened the box, took a whiff of the lovely aroma pouring forth and ran our hands over the Montana™ creamy-smooth leather, we were taken. A few hundred miles later, we'd discovered even more to crow about. With its liner out, the Montana is surprisingly cool on hot days, as the four front pockets double as vents thanks to their mesh liners. The brown finish is a nice contrast to the normal black you see everyone else wearing, and the soft finish of the leather will inevitably lead to the jacket "weathering" nicely and developing a character all of its own within a few thousand miles. It's comfortable. It's well-made. It feels secure. It's something different, and it has that vintage feel. What more could you ask for." Motorcycle Classics Magazine

Hundreds of workers spilled on to city streets yesterday
after at least six fire alarms were activated in the Dunedin
central business district.
Emergency services said the false alarms - allegedly
maliciously triggered - could have had disastrous
Dunedin Senior Station Officer Rob Torrance said the first
alarm sounded at the Work and Income office in Cumberland St
at 2.19pm.
Dunedin City Station responded to the first call.
Within 20 minutes, all eight available appliances - including
Mosgiel, Ravensbourne and a ladder truck - had been called.
''It is a complete waste of resources,'' Mr Torrance said.
''That epitomises what we don't want to happen: all our
appliances being involved over such a short time.''
Almost 30 firefighters attended the false alarms, including
at Cadbury and Radio Otago House in Cumberland St, and
Investment House, Otago House and Public Trust Building in
Moray Pl.
Two fire appliances had been fighting a small fire in
Brockville just before the alarms.
Roslyn Fire Station Officer Justin Wafer said he was
attending to a ''smoked-logged'' house in Brockville when the
crew were called to the ''frustrating and unwelcome'' alarms.
The evacuation of hundreds of workers would have been
detrimental to the Dunedin economy, he said.
''There would have been a lot of business lost ... '' Mr
Wafer said.
''Some of those buildings have hundreds of people in them and
a lot of business carried out within.''
Otago Chamber of Commerce chief executive John Christie said
he was listening to the 2014 Budget in the Public Trust
Building when the building's alarm sounded.
About 200 staff had evacuated the building, he said.
The ''annoying'' business interruption was inconvenient and
would have cost businesses money, he said.
''You are talking about firms on billable hours in some cases
and that is lost productivity.''
Sergeant Reece Munro, of Dunedin, said a 32-year-old Dunedin
man was due to appear in the Dunedin District Court today
charged with knowingly giving, or causing to be given, any
false alarm of fire.
Further charges were likely, Sgt Munro said.
''It's something we take quite seriously, given the impact it
has on the community.''

The returns to exporting: evidence from UK firms
The question of learning versus self-selection has dominated the micro-econometric literature on firm export decisions without leading to any firm conclusions. In part this reflects the limited information content of the data typically used. In this paper we use survey data on UK firms to offer some new insights into this debate. We find that the majority of firms report benefits to exporting across a wide range of performance measures, including size, profitability, and the introduction of new products. These effects do not decline as the number of years of exporting rises if the export intensity of the firm rises.

I have created a new project within MyEclipse and scafolded a Spring framework.
When I Team Share to Subversion using Subclipse it is uploading all the .jar files, not just my code. With Spring that means a lot of overhead.
I cant find a way from within the ->Team Share dialogue to exclude .jar files.
This is the first time this has happend - other Subclipse projects seem to have behaved as I hope.
How do you set the settings to exclude .jar? And how can I make that the default behaviour for future projects?

If I understand it correctly, DONOTCACHEPAGE prevents a page from being cached. OK. But how can I prevent cached versions of pages from being served? I do not want my desktop users seeing mobile pages.

In the dungeon, it says to kill 5 sapphire spiders in level 4. I don't see any though, there are only some in floor 1. Why?
This is fixed now.
some graphics glitching happening for me in chrome.
Usually seems to go away if I switch between fullscreen and windowed a few times. Certain monsters and item types become invisible.
Also a really annoying interface issue: The little 'x' to close the loot box after you've taken everything you want from a monster drop is positioned to where it also activates the switch between full screen and windowed. if you could move the loot box over to the left an inch it would solve it.
Liking this game so far. GJ

The Replacements end Riot Fest Denver set on hilarious note [VIDEO]
The Flying Microwave Burrito Sisters: Tommy Stinson and Paul Westerberg
Photo via Riot Fest's Facebook
As predicted, the Replacements decided to close out their three-show Riot Fest reunion in style. Well, sort of. In a knowing nod to founding guitarist and drag aficionado Bob Stinson, frontman Paul Westerberg and bassist Tommy Stinson dressed in pink skirts -- along with matching plaid western shirts and orange cowboy hats -- for their performance at Riot Fest Denver on Saturday evening.
Based upon early reports from the Twitterati, this show met the expectations put forth in Toronto, and in Chicago. But, judging by a fan's video capturing the end of the set, Denver also allowed for more of the shambolic fun that has been the band's trademark from the beginning. With a bit of KISS and the Who, this thing really ripped open at the seams.

Is it possible that the Mats' are equally tighter and sloppier than in Toronto? I know that doesn't make much sense, but...
-- Kyle Matteson (@solace) September 22, 2013
Makes total sense, actually.
For this segment, Westerberg handed his guitar to Tommy and took over the drums while Josh Freese settled in on bass. The band laid into the KISS fist-pumper "Detroit Rock City" with the precision of a garbage compactor. After a minute of this confusion, he noted "We're getting warm!"
"You asked for us, we're here," Stinson said with a laugh. "We gotta send 'em away... happy," Westerberg then cut in. "We're gonna give you a song so you can, like, drive down the lonely, dark, two-lane highway." And, then he beat the crap out of the drum set until the sticks flew into the air as Stinson dashed of the opening chords of the Who's "Substitute." And then it deflated like a soggy brown paper bag. The guys then left the stage laughing.
Hopefully this will not the be last we see of the band in the near future. (I can't count the number of pleading comments we've received regarding local Replacements shows.) But this Riot Fest chapter ended in a tumble -- a joyous one at that -- reminding us that it's still only rock 'n' roll. I like that.
Our trusted associates at Denver alt-weekly Westword have piped in with full coverage of the Replacements in Denver with a full review here.
Please add your accounts of this "electrifying" conclusion in the comments.

Mike Bloomberg Hangs With 'Gossip Girl' Cast
Sam Levin
Yep, that's right, folks. Mayor Mike Bloomberg's press conference today was about Gossip Girl. The Lady Gaga-kisser upped his celebrity status by standing beside members of the cast and creative team of the television show at Queen's Silvercup Studios.
Also beside him were a host of Queens electeds who wanted in on the fun (State Senator Michael Gianaris, Assemblywoman Catherine Nolan and Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer), next to stars Blake Lively, Ed Westwick, Kaylee DeFer, and Kelly Rutherford. You could say it was an eclectic bunch. And an eclectic group on camera means an eclectic audience. That's right, politics reporters rubbed elbows with the paparazzi! (Runnin' Scared first stood awkwardly in the crowd of entertainment photogs -- and then, feeling out of place, rushed to some seats in the front where the, uh, regular guys were seated).
Bloomberg was ostensibly there for more than fame and glory.
The mayor was announcing that 2011 was the busiest year ever for television production in New York City. And why not celebrate that a few days before the 100th episode of Gossip Girl! (IT AIRS ON MONDAY ZOMG).

Alongside Media and Entertainment Commissioner Katherine Oliver, Bloomberg and others congratulated themselves on their achievements -- breaking "all records" for television production. Twenty-three series are filming in the city during the 2011-2012 season, while ten years ago, only nine primetime series were based here.
Gossip Girl's influence extends far beyond its teeny bopper fans. The show spent $200 million on local development and employed around 6,300 individuals on camera and behind the scenes. They also use local vendors!
"Get your popcorn ready and a beer maybe, and get ready for great entertainment on Monday night," Bloomberg said at the start of his press conference (Beer, popcorn, and Gossip Girl. Y'know, your typical Monday night).
"Gossip Girl has made New York a central character. While Gossip Girl is drawing fans in with its plot twists, the show also attracts many of them to visit New York, contributing to our incredible 50.5 million visitors last year. In fact, the economic impact of Gossip Girl and other television shows and films that are made in New York really can be felt directly in all five boroughs," he said.
"The 100th episode of Gossip Girl is a real landmark, and I want to congratulate the show's cast and crew," he added, before the producers and then the electeds talked.
The mayor, the jokester that he is, couldn't resist opining on some of the plot's developments (a light moment in what became a rather serious press conference later): "I just don't see how Blair could marry Prince Louis when she's clearly in love with Chuck," he said. "I just wish that Nate and Vanessa had been able to work things out...But again I'm just a casual fan."

Since training camp, every time I've been to Atlanta this season, someone -- a coach, a teammate, a fan or a PR person -- has said the exact same thing to me: Check out DeAngelo Hall, Flem; you gotta check out DeAngelo Hall. On Monday night in the Georgia Dome, I finally got my chance. Sensing a blowout in the making, I decided to hold my own "study Hall" and focus entirely on the Falcons' young cornerback (the eighth pick overall in 2004, which I know because it's engraved into the side of his car). I watched every play, every down, and every pattern to see, exactly, what everyone was talking about. And here's what I found
Pregame: While hyped-up teammates like Patrick Kerney look as if they might spontaneously combust on the sidelines waiting for the game to begin, Hall and strong safety Keion Carpenter share the headphones of an iPod and bounce to TI's "I'm a King."
"TI's from Atlanta and his music just puts us in a Dirty-South, I'm-the-King-of-this-Dome mind of frame," says Hall.
Connected by the same short earphones, they look like Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear in the movie "Stuck on You." But afterward, they're all business. Hall bends over to pray near the bench; and when his hands clasp together, they send a noticeable ripple up the muscles of his arm.
Play 1 (9:46, first-and-10 at NYJ 10): While the rest of the Falcs' defense huddles before their first play, Hall is off on his own near the numbers on the far side of the field. All great corners understand that for 60 minutes each week, they're on an island all by themselves. And they like it that way. "In college, the problem I had was guys didn't challenge me," Hall says. "But I've learned the hard way in this league [that] the one play you take off is the one play they come at you. Against the Pats, I was covering Deion Branch early in the game. I had perfect coverage the whole time, but I eased up for a second just at the end. I don't know, I heard the crowd yell or I thought it was a sack or something; and he laid out and caught a ball on me. Man, guys don't care who DeAngelo Hall is. So I have to think in my mind that they're coming at me every play and I'm all on my own."
Play 2 (5:35, first-and-10 at NYJ 20): When matched up on Jets wideout Justin McCareins, Hall is confident enough to play tight bump-and-run coverage. But when the Jets' best wideout, Laveranues Coles, lines up on the left hash, Hall shows tight man coverage. And then, as soon as Vinny Testaverde looks away, he backpedals to give Coles the cushion, and the respect, he deserves. On this play, it isn't enough. Coles sells a deep fly route, then cuts it off at 12 yards and heads to the sidelines. The chess match has already begun: The Jets run this route several times in the first half, hoping to set up Hall by getting him to bite and then jump over the top with a fly route. Hall falls down while trying to switch directions -- the first of several slips on the night -- and linebacker Keith Brooking must come over to make the tackle. "I had new shoes on, some of Mike Vick's shoes," says Hall (who as a result might get tripped up again by his own shoe company, Reebok, which was not happy to see him wearing Nikes on MNF.) "Now, I don't want to blame it on Mike's shoes so maybe just say I got a little bit sloppy in my footwork."
Play 3 (2:57, second-and-10 at NYJ 47): Coles drives Hall deep on a skinny post route, but Hall has him covered; and by the time Testaverde goes to his second read, the Falcons' line has him smothered. When the ball pops loose, Kerney scoops it up and takes it to the 26 to set up the Falcons' second score. It often goes unsaid how cornerbacks affect the D-line and the D-line reciprocates for the cornerbacks. Interceptions (Hall already has six as a pro) are often caused by a quarterback making a bad throw after being disrupted by the pass rush. In this instance, blanket coverage by Hall forced Testaverde to hold the ball and allowed Antwan Lake that extra split-second he needed.
Play 4 (14:49, second quarter, third-and-6 at NYJ 14): Here's how you can tell that Hall has eye-popping skill, and that he's a good dude, too. In zone coverage, he gets sucked deep inside; but his stunning vertical burst allows him to bounce back into the play and help push Coles out of bounds right into a female fan. Hall, though, is the only one who seems the least bit concerned with the woman's well-being, even circling back after the play to check on her. (She left on a wheelchair with an air cast around her right leg.)
Play 5 (11:38, second-and-10 at NYJ 43): Hall breaks on that out-route again. Had Testaverde not horribly overthrown the ball (is that his trademark, or is it his inability to look off his intended receiver?), Hall would have had a pick. After the game, coaches say Hall ran the route better than McCareins did. "I woulda been dancing," Hall says. "Man, Tagliabue, strike up the check because I was about to write one to you."
Play 6 (10:57, fourth-and-3 at midfield): In one of his few truly bad plays of the night, Hall gets lazy and lets the Jets' punt gunner go downfield without blocking him, and he downs the ball at the 5.
Presnap: All the way up until the snap count, Hall is looking for signs, clues, anything that can help tip him off to the play or the route he's about to face. All great corners line up knowing that they face an array of roughly 50 plays. By using down and distance, they can eliminate 20 percent of them. By checking personnel groupings, another 20 percent. Great DBs keep eliminating things until, just before the snap, they know the offense has only five or six options left.
"I look at everything," Hall says. "I start with formations, then down and distance, personnel. I look at the receiver splits, how tight they are from the next guy, because certain routes require a certain amount of room on the field. And then I watch the QB. My mind is flipping like a Rolodex. But, yeah, sometimes I do still have brain farts out there."
Play 7 (6:15, first-and-10 at NYJ 42): Seven times, the Jets have run a 7- to 12-yard comeback on Hall, patiently setting him up, knowing that an aggressive but inexperienced cover corner is going to bite sooner or later. He finally bites on a stutter-step by McCareins, and gets burned for 35 yards to help set up the Jets' first score. After talking to Hall, here's the best way I can describe the feeling a corner has knowing he just got toasted on a bomb: It's the same feeling you get when, just as you're closing the door to your car, you see the keys sitting on the seat but can't react fast enough to stop the locked door from closing.
"I read 'three-step drop' and anticipated a quick curl, a short out or a slant. But I played it too aggressive and they took a deep ball over my head," Hall says. "Sometimes, with the coverage we're in, I can't jump a route. I have to play it true. When you go away from the scheme, that's when you get beat. And the one time I got greedy tonight, they got me for 35. Guys are gonna catch passes; I know that. I'm not trying to hold guys to zero catches -- that's not me. But if I had just read it right and pressed him, he would have thrown it right to me. I could kick myself for that."
Young corners are dangerous when they think, after a year and a half, that they know everything and are ready to pose for their bust in Canton. I was surprised, pleasantly so, about Hall's reaction to getting burned Monday night.
"I'm not gonna lie to you," Hall says. "I don't have nearly the experience or the knowledge of someone like Troy Vincent. In fact, I've been trying to call him, like every other day, just to talk to him about this job. I can get better. And I will."
Play 8 (5:48, first-and-10 at ATL 23): In a play commonly referred to as an "insert," New York tight end Chris Baker goes in motion. And when RCB Jason Webster passes him off to Carpenter, it creates a hole in gap run coverage that the Jets use to spring Curtis Martin for 11 yards. Hall -- all 5-foot-10, 195 pounds of him -- is left to fill the hole. Corners aren't usually known for their physical tackling skills. In many cases, like the case of Deion Sanders, they actually shy away from contact. Not Hall. He submarines Martin to prevent the TD. At least he tried. Later, Martin will just leap over him for a late score. "The guys I have to come up and tackle are pretty big," Hall says. "You just gotta shoot the gap as hard as you can and see what happens."
Sidelines: The amount of communication that goes on during a game between Hall, Carpenter and Webster, as well as between the players and DB coach Brett Maxie and D-coordinator Ed Donatell, is unreal. During every break, they're talking and acting out footwork. Hall has also perfected the art of chatting up the refs at every opportunity (which might've helped him get an offensive interference call against the Jets). Right up until the snap, they're talking and sending hand signals back and forth. When Carpenter screams to them and crosses his arms, they switch to zone coverage right before the snap. And when Hall reads a fade route in Cover 2, he yells back to Carpenter to get his back because he's gonna jump the route.
"Man I would have never done that as a rookie -- never," Hall says. "That's the kind of stuff that separates good players from great players. Athletically, I'm pretty darn good; that's why I got drafted eighth overall. But in the big picture, don't none of that matter. It's all about study and film and experience and game knowledge. Because a 4.2 running the wrong way is always gonna get beat by a 4.5 running the right way."
Maxie, meanwhile, is constantly running up to them with fresh Polaroids and demonstrating for Hall the proper way to keep his hips open toward the play, which prevents him from wasting any movement. After the Martin run, Donatell scribbles out the play and a new scheme to cover the insert on a grease board. When it happens again, Webster won't pass off the tight end and Carpenter will be free to fill the gap where Martin tries to run.
Deep Thoughts: I know. I know. I was only supposed to be watching Hall. But, dang! It was a boring game, and these thoughts crossed my mind. (1) I know Jim Mora answers all the Vick critiques by pointing to his winning percentage, but there are times when I think No. 7 has regressed. Not as a passer, but as a quarterback. He rolls out with no intention of passing. He throws every ball the same speed, without touch, which caused tipped balls and interceptions that kept the Jets in the game. (2) And by my count, this led Vick to be exposed to the possibility of a major injury seven times Monday night. Most teams like that number to be somewhere between zero and one. (3) The Jets. Ugh. At times, and I don't say this lightly, they reminded me of the Ravens. Bad penalties. No playmakers. Terrible screw-ups. (4) Speaking of which, I know he's filling in from his regular position at guard, but NYJ center Pete Kendall almost got his teammates killed. Three times. (5) The PA system at the Atlanta airport kept announcing delays due to "William" (apparently, hurricanes can have sex changes). (6) People are shocked and dismayed about the Saints' possible move to San Antonio, and then Los Angeles. Why? The Browns, Colts, Titans, Raiders, Rams and Cardinals have all moved at least once. Moving for more coin is what the NFL is all about. (7) The best tributes to Wellington Mara mentioned that he had 11 kids. Meaning, he fathered a football team, as well as an entire league.
Play 9 (3:41, fourth-and-1 at ATL 3): Sorry, missed this one while watching two fans in a big fight in the stands just below the Georgia Dome press box.
Play 10 (4:19, third quarter, third-and-13 at ATL 49): I have to admit that for most of the night, I was waiting for Hall to do something spectacular. And then, early in the third quarter, I realized what he was doing: He was playing us, all of us. The Jets. The fans. The media. Me. Great corners are cool dudes, subdued poker players who are impossible to read. All night, Hall was playing possum on the deep fade, covering the route but in a way that would give the Jets confidence to keep trying the pass. He was just waiting for the right moment to pounce.
And this was it. He hangs with Coles until the ball goes in the air, then he separates, plays center field, and easily nabs his fourth pick of the season. Later, he'll just barely miss on another one in the end zone.
"I had a bit of a chess match going with them tonight," he says. "You try to make them think they have the deep ball. So I jumped him early on the route, which made them read press, which made them think they could complete a deep ball and put it in the air. And then I did the rest."
Rest of the Game: One word. Boring. Hall's pick is essentially the end of the game for the Jets, no matter how hard Vick tries to keep them in it with his arm. Until desperation time in the late going, the Jets seemed almost well, skeert to throw Hall's way.
12:53 a.m.: With the locker room nearly empty, Hall rolls up his designer pinstripped sleeve so the trainers can give him a flu shot before he leaves for the bye week. It goes right into the tattoo that reads: The World is Mine. (Had I not kept him with extra questions, he's certain he could have sneaked out without facing the needle. "My bad," I tell him.) Truth be told, yeah, he winced a little when the needle went in. Maybe the pain is from trying to hold up his giant, diamond-studded cufflinks. As guys begin to leave, word in the locker room from coaches is: Be careful. Meaning, don't get in any trouble during your bye week that would jeopardize our 5-2 start. As Hall leaves the locker room, a coach yells to him, "What they throw at you tonight, like three times?"
Hall laughs, then turns to me and says, "For me, it's about mastering my craft; and I still got a long way to go, but games like tonight, they make me feel good about the progress I'm making."

I've just downloaded and activated the plugin and it works just like it is supposed to. I did a little 'tweeking' of the .css file to change the size of the flip square, size of the font in the title and position of the title within the square.
I have a question on a feature I would like to have. I have found some potential sponsors whose logos are rectangular rather than square and they don't resize worth a darn ex: arklatexmoaa.org - then bottom of first page.
How difficult would it be to create a shape with user controlled size (rectangle) that could be placed next to a square or a second rectangle, both within the same [flipwallgroup][/flipwallgroup]?
Thanks for your plugin.

Drivers of Smith Electric Vehicles might take their vehicles out on quick trips to the supermarket or drug store, but they won't do any shopping. A producer of zero-emission electric vehicles, Smith Electric designs and manufactures light- to medium-duty electric delivery trucks for companies in the food and beverage, retail, parcel and postal delivery, and other industries. Its vehicles, which are sold primarily in the UK and US under its Newton and Edison brands, are designed for short-range travel in and around urban areas (some models can travel up to 150 miles on one charge). Other offerings include maintenance and repair services. Smith Electric was formed in 2009; it cancelled plans to go public in 2012.
Smith Electric filed to go public in late 2011 but cancelled its plans in mid-2012 after not receiving a high enough valuation. The company planned to raise almost $80 million to pay off debt and support its future growth strategy, but instead it will look to private financing options.
In 2010 Smith Electric saw its revenue increase by 56% over its 2009 results. Its positive revenue figures were driven by improved vehicle sales, particularly in the US. Smith Electric has a history of operating losses, however, and has never been profitable. Higher research and development, administrative, selling, and other costs kept the company in the red in 2010.
As part of its current growth strategy, Smith Electric has a handful of vehicle models in development that are poised for release. Among its new models is a Newton step-van that will have a range of 40-120 miles and payload capacity of 2,700 to 10,000 pounds; other new models include an Edison light-duty truck for the UK and other select markets.
Other growth efforts include expanding its customer base through sales and marketing initiatives. Currently, a relatively small number of customers bring in the majority of its revenue. Major customers include Staples (which accounted for 24% of the company's revenues in 2010), Frito-Lay (14%), and Sainsbury's (12%). Other key customers include Coca-Cola and DHL.
Prior to its IPO filing, Smith Electric was owned by Tanfield Group Plc, which held a 30% stake; Continental Casualty Company with its 16% stake; and Roy Stanley, who held an 11% stake.

personal attacks
no matter how lame somebody's comments are, lets refrain from using words like "fucking". [1] Good friend100 11:57, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Saying that I've heard some "fucking outlandish stuff [on Wikipedia]" is not a personal attack, so don't falsely accuse me of that. Moreover, Wikipedia is not censored. Parsecboy 11:59, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- Struck section name; as it's a false accusation. Parsecboy 12:01, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Just a helpful warning, as it seems that you are very angry about Ksyrie. What I'm doing is not even close to what Komdori/Lactose could do to me, so don't fire back at me that I'm accusing you, because I'm not. Good friend100 12:03, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- Only popping in because my name was mentioned. Good friend100, please don't drag my name into your accusations on others. I don't really care much, but it is ironic that you (falsely) warn others of making personal attacks and do so while dragging other editor's names into the arena in a questionable way. You were warned and blocked repeatedly recently for breaking the rules and being disruptive. This has nothing to do with Parsecboy's comments, so leave my name out of it. --Cheers, Komdori 12:46, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you changed the leader oj Japan from Hirohito to Tôjô. I suggest you read articles on Imperial General Headquarters, on emperor Showa himself and the Tokyo tribunal about the propaganda work made by Douglas Mac Arthur. Furthermore, there is an entire chapter in Hirohito and War by Peter Wetzler that described the relationship between the to men and explain that Tôjô was entirely devoted to his emperor. Considering Tôjô, a prime minister between 1941 and 1944, the "leader" of Japan is a bit outdated. --Flying tiger 18:59, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- I noticed the dispute on Talk:WWII, and saw that you posted a POV tag on the page as part of the dispute. This is disruptive editing; make sure you don't edit pages to prove a point. Thanks. Parsecboy 20:16, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- The reason that I placed that tag there is pretty obvious: The infobox claims that Hirohito was in command in Japan during WWII, while any historian who has looked into the subject will tell you that that is a misrepresenation of facts. I changed it, but my change was reverted imediately by an other editor who doesn't tolerate any other POV. The way to resolve such a situation is to place a tag on the page, and open a discussion on the talk page, sothat other people can see that there is a disagreement, and can weigh in on the issue.
So please tell me what I do now: Historical accurate views are not tolerated, and we are not even allowed to discuss it. Is that the way Wikipedia works? Suppress views you don't like, even if those views happen to be correct? JdH 14:18, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

- As far as I can tell, the water is a bit muddy as to who was actually in charge of Japan during the war. Regardless, POV tags should not be used for a petty dispute in the infobox. Generally, it's better to use them for articles with repeated violations of NPOV throughout the article. Generally, just posting on the talk page should generate enough interest from the editors who watch the page. However, if that fails, you can always post an RfC at WP:RFC/HIST, to invite more people to comment. Parsecboy 15:52, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- The water is not muddy at all: Just read a good book about the history of Japan (which I have done) and everything becomes crystal clear. The problem with Wikipedia is that people who scream the loudest always win; scholarship looses out JdH 14:43, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Korean War Montage
Great, I'll put it in now.Kfc1864 13:06, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Yes please!Kfc1864 05:52, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
About 3RR
Hi. Sorry, I only noticed now your reply, therefore did not answer in 3RR earlier. Are there more problems with the article? Assuming the whole thing was nothing more then a misunderstanding (was it?), how about this suggestion: Eurocopter can retain his belief that his edits were towards achieving a compromize (as opposed to a brake of 3RR rule), but would undertake to voluntarely abtain from editing for 24 hours. I'll give this suggestion to Eurocopter as well. Cheers.:Dc76\talk 17:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Well, it is always possible to ask him, when he/she (I guess it's he, but i don't know for sure) comes back and starts editing, to abstain for 24 more hours. I read your comment on 3RR, and it contained a grain of truth, about which one can not go around: enforcement should not depend on whom it is applied to. So, I do support the 24 hours. But I suggested to make it in such a way as to result in zero hostility. That, imho, is possible if all parties are civilized, which seems to be the case. (I'm jumping a bit ahead assuming Eurocopter will agree to this... :-) ) :Dc76\talk 20:33, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
I didn't edited for at least 200 hours, so the 24 hours passed. This masquerade should stop and constructive editing should begin. Best regards, --Eurocopter tigre 20:41, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

link of interest
I've been watching from the sidelines I came in late on the Korean War controversy. Don't know if this link will help any (as if they would listen :-) but it could help the article as well. [[2]] --Xiahou 00:52, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Didn't catch if you used this source. (alot to go through again :-) but [[3]] is a pretty good one breaks it down state by state names and all. *cough* doubt 'certain' sites based 'elsewhere' approach this. --Xiahou 02:03, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
another interesting tibit -[[4]] plus as if you watchlist hasn't told you there is poll and some kind of explination about it. I realize english is not their native language but I barely get the basics of it. And yes I am becoming a little more active in this. I have sat back and sadly almost enjoyed the back and forth banter. But its just hit a point where come on enough is enough. --Xiahou 00:46, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Transfer of discussion
- Because our discussion is on page for deletion I have made transfer (copy/paste) of your last comment on discussion page of map (Image talk:Serbia1918.png). I will today or tomorow give offical demand for deletion on page Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion because there is really no other neutral solution which can stop production of new interesting maps. ---Rjecina 1:21, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
I realize that they have admitted that english is not their first language but what does "the poll was supposed to be nonbinding and served only to see if all the one agree or not,if not,we continue to other dispute procedure.It's clearly written and all the one understood" mean? If I am getting this right if the staw poll shows not everyone agrees with us or them that it should got to arbitration (which was already shot down a while back or not?) I am at a loss to why they would want this? ITs rather obvious which way arbitration would go isn't it? Multiple sourced credited vs usually censored estimation from source known to have huge differences in numbers during similar period. Like I said before if it wasn't so frustrating it's almost funny. --Xiahou 01:29, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
It's seriously not me Nate I've asked him to stop and you have a right to believe it's me and if I were you I would believe it was me I'll tell him not to again. --LtWinters 23:37, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for adding "primarily from SMS Moltke, who scored 13 of those 15 hits." to the page on HMS Tiger (1913). However what was the source for this?
There is a big problem with many of these pages containing unsourced material. This would gradually be fixed if when people made additions they footnoted them giving the source. <ref>Author, ''Name of Source'', page number</ref> --Toddy1 07:59, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
If the offender tries that again, don't remove the copy-pasted content of your userpage from theirs: under Wikipedia rules that still may be considered vandalism, regardless of how morally justified. Just report such accounts to WP:UAA and they'll be banned in no time. --The Fifth Horseman 14:37, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comment. If he does it again, I'll do as you suggest and just report him. I was waiting on him to do something clearly incivil or vandalistic before reporting him. Thanks for reporting him to WP:UAA. Parsecboy 16:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Pribor-3B Meroka rifle
Yeah, it's real. It was an experimental rifle. The confusion lies, I believe, in the fact it was used in a video game once... Duke Nukem? Anyhow, it does not deserve mention, so I'm not about to revert your culling mention of it. Max Popenker is probably the best source of information. He's got the Original Research. Here's his take on it: [6].--Asams10 03:47, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- A post in a fanboy forum by a user with the name Max Popenker isn't any reliable evidence at all. How do you know it actually is Max? And why can no reliable sources be found anywhere? Moreover, how does it work? As far as I can tell, there are no ejection ports, and how does the bolt cycle? The mags are at the rear of the weapon, the only thing behind them is the buttstock. Parsecboy 09:56, 23 August 2007 (UTC
Uh, I know it's Max because he (through the 'fanboy' forum as you call it) provided me with an advanced copy of his book, "Assault Rifle", for comment on the American weapons. Beyond that, I've read in at least two other places about the device. I'm not sure that "Pribor-3B" is the correct term as that is, loosely translated, "Device-3B" or "Device with 3 Barrels" as I would translate. That just requires a name change. I would not be against listing all of Korobov's work under one article as it doesn't appear he had a device that went into production. I realize you're bitter about this twit that you've been fighting with, but it was a real prototype whether you like it or not. Do you not find it intriguing? IIRC, the fired cases were ejected behind the magazines. The entire assembly recoiled as the barrels were fired either simultaneously or possibly staggered. At the end of the recoil cycle, the bolt was held captive and the rest of the rifle moved forward, extracting the cases. The spent casings dropped and the bolt was released to chamber three more rounds. Intriguing, but not practical.--Asams10 10:13, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
I'll add, this twit is also spamming the CRAP out of MilitaryImages.netunder the names Bashabasher, Braith-Wafer and Riddick at least.--Asams10 10:30, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Grammy Award winning
Hi Parsecboy, regarding the "Grammy Award winning" info in the first sentence of System of a Down, it's not NPOV for several reasons. Awards are not the main focus of the article, so it shouldn't be mentioned in the first sentence. There's nothing wrong with it being in the intro, just not the first sentence. You wouldn't say "Carmen Electra is a Razzie award winning actress" in the first sentence, even if it's true (I'm sure you can see the POV in that). If I'm not mistaken, SOAD were nominated for four Grammys and have won one. So I added this in the intro: "Their works have earned them one Grammy Award amongst four nominations".

You seem to have an admirer that started a page on you for some reason: Parsecboy. Leibniz 21:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- That is why I mention him to you. The edit pattern looks extremely similar and he already has a copyvio warning. BTW I think that the Seattle-based IP vandal is someone else. Leibniz 21:56, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, he's also re-added the Pribor 3B to the list of Russian weaponry article. Well, the IPs that use the "Jetwave Dave will kick your ass" edit summaries are clearly Jetwave, but some of them might be another "friend" I've made, User:Labyrinth13. Some of them follow Jet's edit pattern, some follow Laby's. The odd thing is, they both show up as Seattle-based IPs. Who knows? Parsecboy 22:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for telling me, I'll remove it.K14 04:14, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Ram (ship)
Perhaps you can throw a few more anecdotes or facts at the ship ramming pages. Maybe Ram (ship) and Naval ram should be merged. I know very little about ramming except that Japanese destroyers sometimes used it as an attack option against US submarines in WWII. Binksternet 18:02, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
You're welcome! You always have my full support in this kind of issues! Best, --Eurocopter tigre 21:22, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Nate, I recommend that you should ask for semi-protection on those pages vandalised by that dynamic IP. If not, this reverts can be endless. Best, --Eurocopter tigre 19:21, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, I'm going to send some serious warnings to all those IPs. --Eurocopter tigre 19:28, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- Haha, he stopped. Hope the warnings were helpfull! Best, --Eurocopter tigre 20:44, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
To fit with policy, probably best if you add a proposed deletion tag to it - it's only existed for a few days, someone might try to expand it in the five days the PROD runs for. ELIMINATORJR 23:10, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Howdy Parsecboy.
I've seen that you're a damn fine editor, but could I ask that you have a little more patience and good faith regarding the WWII image? The thing's a bit of a powder-keg. Oberiko 16:14, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
You found a realy nice image
I dont think we could wish for a better compromise then that. I personaly belive it will be nice if that sticks as a constant solution. M.V.E.i. 16:48, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Linkin Park and 3RR Three-revert rule
I fully protected the Linkin Park article and blocked four of the fifteen accounts being used to engage in the revert war at Linkin Park, including your user account. A fifth user account was blocked by another admin. An editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, on a single page within a 24-hour period. See Wikipedia:Three-revert rule. Most of the editors knew when to stop, some did not. The 3RR vandalism exception applies only to the most simple and obvious vandalism, the kind that is immediately apparent to anyone reviewing the last edit. It is not sufficient if the vandalism is simply apparent to those contributing to the article, those familiar with the subject matter, or those removing the vandalism itself. If you have a disagreement over content, discuss that disagreement on this talk page. When in doubt, do not revert. If discussion is not possible, ask for administrative assistance or engage in dispute resolution. For now, please take a break and enjoy the rest of the weekend. -- Jreferee (Talk) 20:36, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- You're seriously telling me that labeling Linkin Park as "Homocore" is not "simple and obvious vandalism"? Parsecboy 20:37, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Note left for blocking admin. Spartaz Humbug! 20:46, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Unfair blocking
Parsecboy (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • abuse filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock)
Request reason:
Decline reason:
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired.
- Although I know it doesn't work like this, I fully support the unblocking of this user; (s)he was clearly rectifying persistent vandalism. Oli Filth 20:39, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- Genre Disputes have been going on a long time in that article. Archive 2 even is entitled "Earlier Genre Disputes" at Talk:Linkin_Park. The revert war was over the sentence "Linkin Park is recognized for adapting the nu metal and homocore genres" vs. "Linkin Park is recognized for adapting the nu metal genre." The 3RR vandalism exception applies only to the most simple and obvious vandalism. the kind that is immediately apparent to anyone reviewing the last edit. The addition of homocore genre is not the most simple and obvious vandalism and does not even appear to be vandalism. It seems more like a disagreement over what genre this band fits into, which is one of an ongoing disagreement over the genre issue. Parsecboy made at least 11 reverts within 24 hours. The revert war seem to me to be an WP:OWN effort through reverts. A cool down period seems appropriate. -- Jreferee (Talk) 20:59, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
- This is complete and total bullshit. This is not a "genre dispute". This is blatant vandalism. Are you seriously stating that "homocore" even somehow might, in some twisted universe, apply to Linkin Park? Have either of you even listened to anything by Linkin Park, or for that matter, anything homocore? This is the most ridiculous fucking shit I've ever seen on Wikipedia. I get banned for reverting vandalism. Good job, genius. Parsecboy 01:10, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hey Parsecboy. We haven't always agreed on everything but I just wanted to let you know I think that out of all the editors I've met on Wikipedia, you're one of the most committed to improving it. This block is, of course, unfair, and a clear instance of abuse of power. It's yet more proof that the admins are are killing Wikipedia, by driving away the people who care about it most. Haber 02:45, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you, Haber. You're right, this is a clear abuse of power. The blocking admin comletely ignored the email I sent to him, and wouldn't even consider the possibility that he overreacted. The admin who denied the unblock seemed to be more concerned with whether it was within policy than whether I was actually just reverting vandalism. Not to mention the fact that these admins have apparently never heard of an open proxy. I appreciate your support :) Parsecboy 11:00, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- I guess this is why you haven't been around the Korean War page for a while. Hope this all gets cleared up soon. Best of luck with it. wbfergus Talk 16:07, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
I followed up on Oysterguitarist's unblock request, and, after consulting with the blocking admin, lifted your block as well. For the record, I believe the block was within policy. I recognize that you felt what you were reverting was vandalism. However, you might consider going to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents if the vandalism wouldn't be clear to anyone without specific knowledge of the subject.--Kubigula (talk) 16:14, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I just happened to be looking at a couple of your articles, and it occurred to me to ask: do you know about {{DEFAULTSORT}}? It can save you a fair amount of typing/potential errors. Rather than:
- Category 1|world'slongestshipnameever
- Category 2|world'slongestshipnameever
- Category 3|world'slongestshipnameever
You can just use:
- {{DEFAULTSORT:world'slongestshipnameever}}
- Category 1
- Category 2
- Category 3
It's also better because anyone adding categories down the road doesn't have to type it out again, either. Anyway, just wanted to point it out in case you hadn't come across it before. Maralia 00:05, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing that out. I'd come across it several times, but wasn't sure exactly what its purpose was. I'll update the articles I've created/edit with that template now. Thanks again. Parsecboy 00:09, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

On minor edits
Hi there. I have no issues with your recent removal of images from Mumia Abu Jamal except for the fact that you marked both of your edits as minor edits, and I do not believe that they qualify as such. Lately I've noticed so many major edits being marked as minor that I've decided to start gently reminding people of what constitutes a minor edit:
* Spelling corrections * Simple formatting (capitalization, et cetera) * Formatting that does not change the meaning of the page (e.g. adding horizontal lines, splitting one paragraph into two—where this is not contentious) * Obvious factual errors (e.g. changing 1873 to 1973, where the event in question clearly took place in the XXth century.) * Fixing layout errors * Adding and correcting links * Removing vandalism
Also note:
* Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette, especially if the change involves the deletion of some text. * If you accidentally mark an edit as minor when it was in fact a major edit, you should make a second edit, or dummy edit, noting that "the previous edit was major" in the edit summary.
Thanks for your attention to this issue! --Melty girl 00:31, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

First of all many thanks for the plugin!
Unfortunately I have a problem: I install the plugin without problems, but when I activate it I have the sadly famous "white screen of death". I read about solutions (editing functions.php, adding more memory to wp, etc) but I wanted to know if this is a known issue (yes I already quickly looked at the forum...).
Thanks for help in advance

WASP: F-bombs away
Blackie Lawless has a few choice words for bad parents, Tipper Gore
By Newt Briggs
All WASP frontman Blackie Lawless wanted to do was say the word fuck. Actually, it wasn't so much that he wanted to say it, but that he wanted to use it in the title of WASP's debut EP, Animal (Fuck Like a Beast). This, of course, rankled the high-minded bluebloods in the so-called moral majority, and WASP compromised by naming the record Animal (F**k Like a Beast). While this seemed like an adequate concession to Lawless, it did little to placate America's cultural watchdogs--particularly not Parents' Music Resource Center busybody Tipper Gore.
"As the story goes, Tipper was walking down the hall in her house and her 12-year-old son had Fuck Like a Beast playing on his stereo, and she lost her mind," Lawless says. "I don't know if that's true, but that's the story I've been told."
According to Lawless, the problem wasn't just the obscenity, but its uncomfortable proximity to the word beast. "What made our record different was the combination of the words fuck and beast," says Lawless. "You can say them separately, and nobody bats an eye. But put them together, and it conjures up a disturbing image in people's heads. Then they sit there for a second and think, `Oh no, we're not going to have that.'"
Nor were they going to abide by WASP's stage antics, which included mock-executing half-naked women on torture racks, defiling mannequins dressed like priests, chopping up simulated animals and throwing raw meat into the crowd. Lawless even augmented his performance attire with sharpened sawblades, which routinely cut band members and crowd alike.
"We were doing a very avant-garde type of theater called psycho-drama that was coming out of UCLA," Lawless says. "It was based around the idea of taking the actions that were on the stage and putting them in the audience to get the audience involved. Think of it as a kind of primitive interaction. We were looking for anything to bring the audience up onto the stage."
To WASP's detractors, however, it looked like obscenity and gratuitous violence. In 1985, the PMRC--which Lawless has called the "Washington Wives Club"--forced the cancellation of a number of WASP shows. "People looked at it and thought it was just sensationalism for its own sake," says Lawless. "Quite honestly, sensationalism never did squat for us. We were looking for things that we thought were artistically interesting."
Besides, Lawless insists, the PMRC was motivated less by moral imperatives and more by political ambitions. "You wanna talk about sensationalism? This was an organization that was seeking a platform that would help serve its own political interests. They didn't give a damn about censorship. I've spent the better part of my career trying to get people to understand that. This really is not what you think it is. They come to you like the wolf in sheep's clothing and then use you to create a frenzy--not unlike what McCarthy did with the communists and Bob Dole did with rap. This is nothing new."
Ironically, Lawless was one of the few heavy metal firebrands who addressed topics other than the many virtues of the female genitalia and drinking Jack Daniel's from the bottle. A troubled youth himself, Lawless has always confronted issues of adolescence--a thematic path that can be traced from 1992's Crimson Idol to this year's much-ballyhooed Neon God. 2001's "Locomotive Man," for example, explored the mindset of a student preparing to commit a murder at school. Lawless describes it as an effort to promote "social awareness."
"You don't have to be Nostradamus to see what's going on with young people these days," he says. "Parents just don't get involved with their kids as much as they used to. Are you going to tell me that these parents at Columbine didn't know that anything was going on with their kids? Hey, my mother knew what I was doing 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But parents now, they don't want to take any responsibility for their children. They bring something into this world, and then when something goes wrong, they want to blame everybody else for it."
