Subject: [htdig3-dev] Current Status as of snapshot 3.2.0b3-122400
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
Date: Sun Dec 24 2000 - 00:02:12 PST
STATUS of ht://Dig branch 3-2-x
3.2.0b3: Released: Date TBA Cleanups in progress
3.2.0b2: Released: 11 Apr 2000.
3.2.0b1: Released: 4 Feb 2000.
* all.html file needs significant work.
* List of supported platforms/compilers is ancient.
* Update cf_* pages to mention new config parser (i.e. URL-dependent config)
* Add thorough documentation on htsearch restrict/exclude behavior
(including '|' and regex).
* Odd behavior with $(MODIFIED) and scores not working with
wordlist_compress set but work fine without wordlist_compress.
(the date is definitely stored correctly, even with compression on
so this must be some sort of weird htsearch bug)
* Not all htsearch input parameters are handled properly: PR#648. Use a
consistant mapping of input -> config -> template for all inputs where
it makes sense to do so (everything but "config" and "words"?).
* If exact isn't specified in the search_algorithms, $(WORDS) is not set
correctly: PR#650. (The documentation for 3.2.0b1 is updated, but can
we fix this?)
* META descriptions are somehow added to the database as FLAG_TITLE,
not FLAG_DESCRIPTION. (PR#859)
PENDING PATCHES (available but need work):
* Additional support for Win32.
* Date-restricted searching (maybe 1/2 done).
* Memory improvements to htmerge. (Backed out b/c htword API changed.)
* MySQL patches to 3.1.x to be forward-ported and cleaned up.
(Should really only attempt to use SQL for doc_db and related, not word_db)
* Field-restricted searching.
* Return all results.
* Handle noindex_start & noindex_end as string lists.
* Handle local_urls through file:// handler, for mime.types support.
* Handle directory redirects in RetrieveLocal.
* httools programs:
(htload a test file, check a few characteristics, htdump and compare)
* Turn on URL parser test as part of test suite.
* htsearch phrase support tests
* Tests for new config file parser
* Duplicate document detection while indexing
* Major revisions to ExternalParser.cc, including fork/exec instead of popen,
argument handling for parser/converter, allowing binary output from an
external converter.
* Need a list of "related projects" inc. mifluz, ht://Check, ConfigDig, etc.
(should this include projects like KDevelop and WWWWoffle that use internally?)
* Document all of htsearch's mappings of input parameters to config attributes
to template variables. (Relates to PR#648.) Also make sure these config
attributes are all documented in defaults.cc, even if they're only set by
input parameters and never in the config file.
* Split attrs.html into categories for faster loading.
* require.html is not updated to list new features and disk space
requirements of 3.2.x (e.g. phrase searching, regex matching,
external parsers and transport methods, database compression.)
* TODO.html has not been updated for current TODO list and completions.
* Can htsearch actually search while an index is being created?
(Does Loic's new database code make this work?)
* The code needs a security audit, esp. htsearch
* URL.cc tries to parse malformed URLs (which causes further problems)
(It should probably just set everything to empty) This relates to

Texas Third Worst For Employer-Provided Insurance
By: Vertex News
Updated: February 23, 2012
The Economic Policy Institute report shows just over 51 percent of Texas' non-elderly population is covered by an employer.
Center for Public Policy Priorities officials say the report shows Texas needs more health reforms.
Policy analysts say the health care reform law provides strong incentives for the larger employers to keep offering benefits and offers affordable solutions for small firms and families who can't afford coverage.
Mississippi is the worst for employer-provided insurance with just over 48 percent covered, while New Hampshire has the highest rate of coverage at 73 percent.

Spring 2012: Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Induction and Carnegie Hall
Originally posted on "Buzzin' In The Hive", Thursday, 12 April 2012
Spring 2012 arrived with a lovely mid-March night at Carnegie Hall as I took the stage with Ian Hunter (I appear on 4 tracks on Ian's yet-to-be-named
upcoming 2012 release…) for a tribute to the Rolling Stones' Hot Rocks LP. Steve Earle, Rosanne Cash, Marianne Faithful, Jackson Browne, Taj Mahal, Ronnie Spector, Rickie Lee Jones and others joined in. Then it was back on the road with Christine Ohlman & Rebel Montez for a series of New England dates, and on to the 2012 Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Induction, this year back in its home city of Cleveland. I can say nothing less than that the inducation weekend was magical (HBO broadcasts highlights in a special set to air May 5). For a music historian like me, the first-time-ever (beginning what will become a yearly tradition) induction of backup bands–The Crickets, Blue Caps, Famous Flames, Miracles, Midnighters–was so very moving, with Claudette Rogers' elegant acceptance for the Miracles being the highlight. There was Freddy King's induction (in the "Early Influences" category), and the smoldering vintage footage of him that they showed during the speech by Billy Gibbons and Dusty Baker, after which Derek Trucks, Billy, and Joe Bonamassa did the honors. The Faces/Small Faces ruled the night ("All or Nothing" a particularly good choice) with Mick Hucknall of SImply Red standing in on vocals and a heartfelt induction by Little Steven VanZandt. Donovan (inducted by John Mellencamp), Guns and Roses (Green Day inducted), The Beastie Boys, with a poignant acceptance letter by Adam Yauch after Chuck D and LL Cool J's induction speech (The Roots and Kid Rock stood in for a perfectly-manic performance), and The Red-Hot Chili Peppers (Chris Rock inducted) completed the list of performers. Paul Shaffer wrote the most wonderful, Spector-esque arrangement of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" to honor Don Kirshner, who published that song and so many others, and who was inducted under the category named for Ahmet Ertegun …..I was so honored to sing on that with Darlene Love, with my NYC Hit Squad compadre Ricky Byrd (a 2012 nominee himself, with Joan Jett & The Blackhearts) standing alongside in the "Rock and Roll Choir". Finally, three pivotal engineers–Glyn Johns, Tom Dowd, and Cosimo Matassa–were inducated by Robbie Robertson. They brought Cosimo out in a wheelchair and he beamed while his grandson spoke on his behalf. SO moving and wonderful for a devotee of New Orleans music like me. 5,000 fans thronged the sold-out Cleveland Hall. Props to HBO, who of course did everything right and ramped it up in terms of how that venerable, historic rock and roll stage (once home to the Beatles) was dressed. The vintage footage and photographs were projected onto a gigantic scrim at the back of the stage..just beautiful. Many, many MANY industry were squeezed into 100 tables on the floor of the hall. Again, up popped my friend Ian's name, being invoked (although he is not yet inducted, nor is Mott the Hoople…the Hall should rectify that) at the very end of Hall President Terry Stewart's opening speech: "In the words of the immortal Ian Hunter, 'Cleveland Rocks!' " We of The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame House Band (Liberty DeVitto, Jeff Carlisi, Jeff Adams, Rob Arthur, Jimmy Hall, Ricky Byrd and me) tore it up the night before at the pre-induction Gala with our very great special guest Felix Cavaliere (he killed). Darlene Love, Cleveland's native son Michael Stanley, and Dave Wakeling also stopped by, and our NYC compadres Will Lee and Felicia Collins got up and did their thing, too. And then morning-of, we got called for a last-minute vocal rundown in the dusty, cement-strewn basement of the Cleveland Hall. The door opened and Carole King came sweeping into the room for an impromptu twirl through "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," as she picked out the string chart single-note (on a beat-up Fender Rhodes), playing along with Paul Shaffer on the song that would be performed later that evening before that sold-out crowd with Darlene Love. What a lovely moment. Ricky and I hoofed it upstairs to watch the Faces camera-block. Again, a lovely, rockin' moment, so filled with history. Byrd knew Marriott well. It was emotional in the best kind of way. The weekend was filled with those, and I counted myself a very lucky little rock and roll Beehive Queen, makin' the scene!Posted by Christine Ohlman at 8:19 AM

In the long term, we think of Chromium as a tabbed window manager or shell for the web rather than a browser application. We avoid putting things into our UI in the same way you would hope that Apple and Microsoft would avoid putting things into the standard window frames of applications on their operating systems.
The tab is our equivalent of a desktop application's title bar; the frame containing the tabs is a convenient mechanism for managing groups of those applications. In future, there may be other tab types that do not host the normal browser toolbar.
Enhanced functionality through HTML 5: offline modes, background processing, notifications, and more.
Better access points and discovery: On Chromium-based browsers, we've addressed the access point issue by allowing applications to install shortcuts on your desktop.
While the tab bar is sufficient to access existing tabs, we are creating a new primary access point that provides a list of frequently used applications and tools.
Search as a primary form of navigation
Chromium's address bar and the Quick Search Box have simplified the way you access personal content and the web.
While we're not a natively-themed application, we do wish to fit within the operating system so that our app doesn't look out of place. This affects our choices of:

TheLadders Sponsors First AgileUX Design Conference
This past Saturday, the first Agile User Experience (AgileUX) conference, sponsored by TheLadders, was held at the SVA Theater in Manhattan. The conference brought together leading voices from within the New York City design and technology community to discuss strategy and tactics for delivering world class software products.
The conference was organized by Jeff Gothelf, formerly the Director of User Experience at TheLadders, and myself, current head of UX at TheLadders. Todd Hoza, who is the Creative Director for TheLadders, provided creative leadership for the conference.
The speakers we chose came from a cross-section of disciplines including product, venture capital, customer research, and consulting. Speakers representing TheLadders included Eric Burd, VP of Product, who discussed organization change to align the entire business — from sales, marketing, finance and customer support — to an agile mindset.
Also representing TheLadders was Jennifer Gergen, Associate Creative Director, who discussed strategies for better integrating design into an Agile process. I spoke about the importance of continuous, rapid-cadence customer research and usability testing and delved into the details of how to conduct that research and feed it back into product delivery. Finally, Jeff Gothelf argued for demystifying design and the importance of transparency for greater team collaboration.
The event drew close to 400 attendees, some from as far away as Japan, who gathered to learn and share ideas for designing greater product experiences faster. The general consensus was that it was a great learning experience exploring the most recent thinking in product design, and many people left energized and excited to bring those ideas back to their organizations. TheLadders was proud to sponsor such an event and continues to be an active member of the New York City Technology and Design community.
Will Evans is Manager, Experience Design for TheLadders in New York City with 15 years industry experience in interaction design, information architecture, and user experience strategy.

I have 25 years experience teaching in Primary School. I have taught many year groups, but have settled down with First Grade (P3) for the last 8 years. I adore teaching this age group! I have also taught English as a Foreign Language to Primary School age students in Germany.
Love the use of manipulatives and games to progress skills. Motivated to address all learning styles in my lessons and to develop the thinking capabilities of my students in order that they apply taught skills to problem-solving challenges.
My University education lasted 4 years and I graduated as a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Education. I am currently studying for my Masters Degree and have recently qualified with a Certificate of Competence in Educational Testing. As I am the Special Needs Coordinator at our school, this extra qualification will allow me to administer additional, more detailed testing to assist our Educational Psychologist.
B.Sc with Honours in Education Dip.Tefl (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). Certificate of Competence in Educational Testing. Variety of coaching qualifications in Outdoor Education and Youth Work.
I am a happily married 40 something from the Emerald Isle, with lots of rescued fur babies! I have 3 step sons and 5 grandchildren. I was an outdoor education instructor for many years. Kayaking and mountaineering were my passions until my ageing, creaky bones protested! I now lead a much more sedate life, but still seek new challenges and adventures!

Quote:Thief classes have been implemented well in other games, especially Deus Ex and No One Lives Forever 2. Both games have freeform skills (like in RiftRunner. The only problem is when you come up against bosses. A thief needs a skill that can be very powerful against a single opponent. Their thief skills should be required to get past the army.Come to think of it, it shouldn't be a Thief, but rather, an Assassin. Sneak in, kill, escape.
Quote:As classes don't exist as you mentioned, the only way to give yourself the 'feeling' that you are playing a character of a class is by forcing yourself to play that way. Everybody has the sneak skill, it's a basic skill now. You just have to get those other skills that match your class best and play in the style of the thief. As far as I gathered it, the game enforces nothing on you, nor do you get the game to enforce this upon you. Only you yourself can enforce playing like a thief.
Quote:That's right. But some skills complement each other and others oppose each other. I doubt anyone here has bought more than one melee, one ranged and one shield Expertise. There's no point! You can only use one melee weapon at a time, so why specialise in five different types?
Quote:Traditionally, experience was awarded for solving a problem. In this case, violence is an answer. But if you can sneak into a fortified installation and escape with the crown-jewels, shouldn't that be worth an amazing amount of experience for not getting caught or killed?

Giving Characters a Choice (or) How to Write a Movie Properly.
Forgive me if this is a lengthy post, but I believe it's a lesson every inexperienced screenwriter misses. If you're thinking of picking up a book on screenwriting, one lesson that should be highlighted entirely in bold is that in writing CHOICE. It's our choices that define us as human beings. Do we choose to face that all-important pile of laundry, or forego that task in favour of watching the latest episode of Jersey Whores?
In nearly every screenplay that I read, screenwriters more often fail to present their characters with CHOICES. Call these plot devices, plot points, action, or whatever. You can have a well written character outline, but it will crumble if you never give your character anything to do. You need to place your characters in situations where your character MUST make a choice.
Does your character choose to succumb to adultery, because he can't keep it in his pants? Does your character choose to run into a burning building, despite the immense dangers placed in front of them? Does your character choose to enter the dark cave, when all the other characters are too afraid to? Coke or Pepsi? Turn back, or keep going? Keep going, or turn back?
How will your character problem solve? Is your character absolutely perfect and never makes mistakes? Hopefully not. I've read too many idealistic plots, where everything goes as planned, and nothing really interesting ever happens. Moreover, if your character never makes a choice, the movie is HORRENDOUSLY boring. Who wants to watch a movie where the characters never do anything? zzzzz.
I know I've written on this similarly before, and I hate to sound like a broken record, but judging by a few of the writing pieces I've read recently, I somehow doubt this has sunk in yet.
The following is an extensive list of examples of characters presented with choices. These choices define the characters, and move the plot foreward.
Star Trek (2009)
Young Kirk is a rebel 'without a cause'. Can you imagine how boring the movie would have been if Captain Pike never came to Kirk, and presented him with a choice?
"Now, your father was captain of a Starship for 12 minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's and yours. I dare you to do better." – Captain Pike
Now we're getting somewhere. Kirk has a choice to make. The audience WANTS him to choose starfleet, because that means cool spaceships, lazers, and aliens.
YES! Now I'll keep watching.
The Hunger Games (2012)
"Primrose Everdeen" says Effie Trinket.
"I VOLUNTEER!" screams Katness.
Can you imagine what this movie would be like if Katness chose not to volunteer? Well, that would be an entirely different story, and also make her a huge bitch. It's the choice that defines her as being the hero. In that single choice, she showed the audience she is noble, and stout of heart. Write a sitation in which all your characters worst nightmares come true. What does your character choose to do?
Tangled (2010)
"When will my life begin?" sings Repunzel. Well, if she stayed in her tower, that would be pretty boring wouldn't it?
I know what I'm preaching may sound obvious, but you'd be surprised how many writers miss this all important step. Characters can be TORN when faced with a choice. It may seem so simple, for Repunzel to leave her tower, but it isn't. Will she risk betraying Mother? Will she risk the dangers her mother has warned about? She is safe in her tower, but will she pursue her dreams? If she chooses to do nothing, what does that say about her character?
Avatar (2009)
When Neytiri meets Jake Sully for the first time, she has no quarrels with sending an arrow through his heart. But something stops her: a choice.
The seed of the sacred tree seemingly pops out of nowhere. Should Neytiri kill Jake? Or stand up for what she believes in?
The Matrix (1999)
Alright Neo, you want the blue pill or the red pill?
We ALL want Neo to take the red pill. If he didn't then there wouldn't be a story!!! … but maybe you're the kind of writer who thinks he can be clever or ironic forcing your character to take the blue pill instead. If you make it work then, sure, whatever. However, if you do the opposite of what the audience expects all the time, then you're either a film school art snob, or kind of an idiot. But that's ok. If you think it's working for you, then by all means ignore this post.
The Dark Knight (2008)
Now here is a movie about choice.Writer and director Chris Nolan really know's what he's doing. Using the fantastic characters in batman canon, Nolan gives us with a story all about choice. This, I believe, is what makes it so good.
You're presented with 3 characters that offer a trio of conflict. Batman, who chooses to do the right thing at all costs, will never favour his own feelings if it means dismissing his vows of morality. This is why Batman goes after Harvey Dent instead of his love Rachel. For Gotham City cannot lose it's 'white knight'.
In doing so, Harvey Dent is presented with his own choices. After losing his love, and the very thing he was fighting for, he chooses to let 'chance' define his choices with his quarter.
This is an interesting dynamic, because Harvey's choices can vary from anything. He isn't nessesarily a villain, but a character torn by emotion.
Then there is the Joker. Heath Ledger's oscar winning performance aside, this is a character who is truly wicked. With a torn past never fully explained, the Joker isn't driven by money, or power. He simply delights in forcing good people into making choices. He tests the limits of morality.
He sets up various schemes like forcing Batman to choose between Rachel and Harvey. Forcing the citizens of Gotham to kill someone or he'll blow up a hospital, then blows up the hospital anyway. Forcing the citizens of Gotham to choose whether or not to kill a boat full of prisoners, or let the prisoners blow them up.
The audience delights in watching the Joker at work, because we chew our nails trying to figure out what the characters will choose.
Overall, choice is behind any plot. It's choice that can keep the audience guessing. It's choice that restores the audience's faith in humanity. Show your characters actively choose the right thing at all costs. They're called heros. In contrast to this, if we watch a tragedy, we delight in knowing we can be better than the characters we watch, or feel not so alone in sharing a characters pain. We like to believe there is good left in the world, and is the reason why we keep buying movie tickets.
Don't be afraid of asking the bigger questions in life, and having your character's answer them.
All in all, give your characters a reason to live. Give your characters reasons to do what they do. If you don't, your script will be one fry short of a happy meal.
"Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy." – Albus Dumbledore

Evolving with Novell at Brainshare 2007
Novell's new integration emphasis was on display at their annual Brainshare conference in Salt Lake Ciy, Utah.
Engineers. marketers, managers, and sales reps met in Salt Lake City, Utah for Novell's annual Brainshare conference. This year's event emphasized virtualization, identity management, and interoperability (the code word for the Microsoft deal). As I walked the halls, I kept hearing the word "ecosystem." It was scripted for everyone, from Novell CEO Ron Hovsepian down to the Novell employees in the booths. Novell seems interested in making a statement by using the term "ecosystem" instead of "community." Their own community of users and developers has existed for over 20 years, and they want their community – I mean, ecosystem – to work closely with the open source community, but they are also aware that they aren't the only player in the server room, and they want to be in a position to reach out to groups who may not fit so well with the open source definition of "community."

MC5 Meets Sun Ra: Motown City Burning
February 2007
In the pressure cooker climate of the 60s, Detroit groups, like MC5, were pushing back the boundaries of rock 'n' roll, experimenting with an array of avant garde ideas, and collaborating with the free jazz of Sun Ra and Art Ensemble Of Chicago. This article originally appeared in The Wire 136 (June 1995).
Flashback to a hot July night in 1968. On the stage of a small club called Hullabaloo in the Ann Arbor district of Michigan, Detroit's MC5 have just begun another set of their incendiary and revolutionary rock 'n' roll. But already trouble is brewing. By the time the group have finished the opening song, a version of "Borderline", seven squad cars belonging to the Ann Arbor PD, and at least two more full of detectives and Narcotics Bureau officials have suddenly swarmed into view outside the club.
Already the club owners have been informed that unless the 'noise' is turned down then the police will be forced to turn off the power. When the group fail to comply, the police pull the plugs, and both the group and the enraged audience start yelling "Power! Power! Power!. Without the benefit of a microphone, vocalist Rob Tyner informs the crowd that the police are trying to cut off their power at all levels. While Tyner harangues the audience to come together to resist the machinations of the Amerikan police state, saxophones, gongs, bells and drums are handed round, and the group and audience merge in an emotionally charged orgy of chanting and dancing in front of the by now fuming authorities.
One enraged officer approaches the group's tenor sax blowing manager, John Sinclair, and hands him a ticket for having "a noise band". Sinclair tears the ticket up in the policeman's face and goes on playing his saxophone.
Such ugly scenes were almost commonplace in the lives and work of MC5 who, along with Iggy Pop And The Stooges, were the most visible manifestations of Detroit's 60s rock underground (which also included the likes of Alice Cooper, The Amboy Dukes, The Rationals, The Up and The Scott Richard Case). As a movement, the Detroit scene was every bit as vital, but nowhere near as feted, as the West Coast scene involving The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and a host of others. The Detroit groups combined their own brand of high energy rock music (its roots firmly entwined around such idols as Chuck Berry, Little Richard, The Yardbirds and The Who, as well as Detroit's own musical heritage: Mitch Ryder, Bob Seeger, Tamla Motown and emigré blues players like John Lee Hooker) with the musical, political and quasi-mystical philosophies of the free jazz players of the time. By doing so, they produced an intensity of sound and attitude, both on record and in performance, that few of their San Fransisco-based contempories were able to match.
The Detroit 'freak' scene was also different in that the groups it spawned wanted nothing to do with the peace-and-love platitudes that were blooming on the West Coast. But the media attention at the time was fully focused on the blessed-out happenings in Haight Ashbury. And the antics of the Woodstock Generation were considered more 'important' and attractive than the intense political and creative struggles that were taking place in the Motor City. Perhaps environment played a part in forging the Detroit groups' confrontational aesthetic, as well as the media's return to it. After all, California was the land of the beautiful people, while Detroit was a blue collar industrial city, most notable for pumping out automobiles, pollution and racial tension.
The majority of the Detroit groups played regularly at the city's Grand Ballroom, a venue that attracted many big West Coast names, but more importantly, provided a base for MC5 and The Stooges to experiment with new instrumental techniques and performance ideas.
"We discovered there was a way you could set amplifiers by really cranking them up to make a sound that was unlike anything anybody had ever made with an electric guitar before," MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer explained to me recently while he was on a brief visit to London, Kramer was in town promoting his new solo album The Hard Stuff(Epitaph), but we'd met primarily to talk about the music he was making 25 years earlier alongside his follow MC5 members: Tyner, bass player Michael Davis drummer Dennis Thompson and second guitarist Fred 'Sonic' Smith.
"Originally electric guitars were just a way to make the rhythm guitarist in a band sound loud enough to be heard over the other instruments, but as we experimented more by raising the volume higher we could get more tone and more distortion. It was a harmonic kind of distortion, a musical idea, and it dovetailed perfectly into what was happening with the free jazz thing.
"I don't just play the electric guitar, I play the electric amplifier too, this also becomes part of the instrument and at the time it was a whole new idea in how to approach making music. When we started hearing what John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Sun Ra and Archie Shepp were doing with their music, this whole 'sheets of sound' approach was the next logical step in my concept of where I'm taking my music".
In conventional music hagiographies, MC5 have been shoehorned into a tradition of white all-American hard rock that stretches back to earlier Detroit groups led by Mitch Ryder and Bon Seeger and all the way forward to Nirvana and Pearl Jam. But Kramer's comments regarding the impact of free jazz on the group's approach hint at another history, one that has remained largely hidden for the last 25 years.
John Sinclair was a pivotal figure in terms of rationalising Kramer's ideas of fusing rock and R&B with free jazz and the revolutionary politics that were fermenting America's Black Power movement. A politically active beat poet who also wrote a regular column about free jazz for Down Beat magazine, Sinclair instructed the group that their volatile mix of high energy rock and improvisation was the true way forward, a chance to get the message across, that it was the people and not the corporate 'Amerika' that really had the power. The members of MC5 were only too happy to take this on board and with Sinclair they formed the White Panther Party (an alternative to the more militant Black Panthers) and drew up a ten point programme that included a clause which read, "Rock 'n' Roll, dope and fucking in the streets."
Under the White Panther banner, the group would appear on stage toting automatic rifles along with their guitars, the amplifiers draped with inverted stars and stripes flags which they would later use as political props for the night's entertainment.
"We were going to burn a flag", says Kramer, "and then while the feedback was droning on we'd have an assassin come out and shoot Rob Tyner with a blank gun. What happened was the promoter found out we were going to burn the flag and he told us that if we did we would never play there again. We decided to rip the flag instead and, at the last minute, the blank gun didn't fire so nobody knew what was supposed to have happened.
The climax that happened at virtually every MC5 show, however, was a musical rather than visual assault on the senses, which took the form of an escalating spiral of sonic improvisation entitled "Black to Comm". The title was lifted from the shorthand phrase for the instruction 'black wire to common ground' which appeared on the back of Wayne Kramer's Vox Super Beatle amplifier. This almost Dadaesque found title, together with its sublimal Black Power message, made it ideal for the feel of the song. "Black to Comm" failed to make an appearance on Kick Out The Jams, Back In The USA or High Time, the three official albums the group recorded for Elektra and Atlantic, but it has recently surfaced on a CD of live material entitled Power Trip (Alive) which has been compiled from the tape archives of John Sinclair.
"It was too far out for Elektra or Atlantic," laughs Kramer. "We
were stretching them out just to release songs which they couldn't
understand. "Black to Comm." had a lot of feedback involved in it
and we had trouble with the technology in those days. Engineers
used to hate to see us coming because we wanted to get that sound
on the session and the only way we could get it was to play loud.
They'd say, 'Man, it's distorting, it's feeding back!' and I'd
reply, 'I want it to feed back."
[page break]
The group and its music were plagued with the same kind of distrust
and contempt that free jazz pioneers such as Sun Ra and Albert
Ayler had experienced before them. In fact, "Black to Comm" might
be MC5's equivalent of Ayler's 1964 Spiritial Unity, a session
recorded for Bernard Stollman's notoriously off-beat ESP-Disc label
that had sent the engineer screaming from the room. John Sinclair
was familiar with this legend and in an early attempt to get the
group a label deal, he had approached Stollman suggesting that MC5
were just the act he was looking for to break ESP into the rock
"Unfortunately they had absolutely no money", says Kramer when I ask him how close his group had come to signing with ESP-Disc. "To record Sun Ra and his Arkestra live that's great, but to record a band like the MC5 properly was going to take a budget, and ESP didn't have a budget. Looking back, though it would have been good to do it."
Although MC5 never recorded for ESP-Disc, a taste of what might have been produced can be heard on their first single "Looking At You", which they released independently on Sinclair's A-Square label. The sleeve was designed by graphic artist Gary Grimshaw, and depicted John Coltrane looking down at a live shot of the group from within a clump of marijuana leaves. It is shockingly different from the version that was eventually released on their 1970 Atlantic album Back In The USA. On that record, producer John Landau turned a raw slab of improvised power with a vein of pure pop running through it into a meaningless, pre-Springsteen, stadium rock arm waver.
"The band was way more experimental than those legitimate records reveal," says Kramer. "We had our show, but on Sunday afternoon we would get together and play one piece that might last 30 minutes and just experiment with a more textural thing."
It was these experiments that brought the group into contact with the region's free jazz community. "A couple of my neighbours were Don Moye and Joseph Jarman who evolved into the Art Ensemble Of Chicago," says Kramer. "We were all there working on these ideas, we would be doing a gig and they would come and play alongside us. I knew Don was a good drummer and at one point I said to him he ought to get into a rock band. He said, 'No Wayne, that isn't what I want to do.. That was one of those moments of clarity for me, to see that here was a guy who could play rock but he had another thing he was reaching out for, and the Art Ensemble certainly went on to stretch the limits."
In concert, NC5 always attempted to stretch their own limits by incorporating cover versions of free jazz compositions. These included Archie Shepp's "Hambone" (with words by Tyner and retitled "Ice Pick Slim"), John Coltrane's "Tunji", Pharoah Sanders "Upper Egypt And Lower Egypt" , and Sun Ra's "Starship", a version of which found its way onto Kick Out The Jams, the group's 1969 debut album for Elektra. (The group also used to do a version of John Lee Hooker's "I'm Bad Like Jesse James", but retitled "I'm Mad Like Eldridge Cleaver" in tribute to the jailed Black Panther leader).
On 18 June 1967, Sun Ra And His Myth Science Arkestra joined forces with The MC5 at Detroit's Community Arts Auditorium for a show that still burns in the memory of Wayne Kramer.
"It was touch and go for a while," he laughs. "I mean the audience could understand improvisation when it was us because we were white rock 'n' roll guys and we only do this weird stuff at the end. But here was Sun Ra and his band made up of black guys who are wearing these bizarre costumes, and saying they're from outer space. There was a minute when we thought a riot might break out, but eventually the Detroit audience figured out what was going on and they became educated to Sun Ra.
"This is the thing about music, these ideas are accessible, it's not rocket science. It's not so much about the notes, the chords or the song being played, it's the interaction between the players and that's what the vibe people get off on when they're listening to it."
Such ideas were usually ignored by the major record companies of the day, and after MC5 were sacked from Elektra (for including the label's logo as part of a defamatory local newspaper advertisement against a major record chain that refused to stock copies of Kick Out The Jams) they signed with Atlantic, which assigned producer John Landau to shape them into a saleable rock group.
A newly produced CD called The American Ruse (Total Energy) includes the group's pre-production rehearsal tapes of the tracks that would finally appear on Back In The USA. Recorded prior to Landau's involvement, these demonstrate that the group's idea of how the record should sound dovetailed more with their earlier experiments into open-ended improvisation that Landau's and Atlantic's ideas of a tightly-packed, commercial pop group. When the album failed to sell, the group were left to their own devices to record one more album for Atlantic, which was released with little promotion under the title High Time (which has been reissued by Rhino).
"The power started to surface again on High Time" suggests Kramer. We were able to combine the energy of the band to discover what our strengths were without interference from people who were trying to make us fit into the star making machine."
When Atlantic broke the group's contract, they left for a tour of Europe where they would eventually break up. A live album to be titled Live On Saturn was discussed but never recorded, and several improvised tracks were recorded by Kramer, Smith and Tyner for the soundtrack of an underground movie called Gold (they can be heard on the Babes In Arms compilation, released by the New York cassette label, ROIR).
"We were just told there was a train sequence and that we had come up with something. We put together the sound and lyrics not knowing what is was," explains Kramer.
MC5 fell apart in 1972 and the various members either drifted into obscurity or attempted new projects. Kramer formed a power trio called Kramer's Kreemers which plodded on until l976 when he was jailed for possession of cocaine. Fred 'Sonic' Smith, Michael Davis and Dennis Thompson tried to salvage the MC5 spirit by forming Ascension (possibly named after the John Coltrane album) before splitting up seven months later. Smith then went on to form and lead his Sonics Rendezvous Band with ex-members of The Rationals and The Up.
Meanwhile, the group's ex-manager John Sinclair had been released from prison (after serving part of a ten year sentence for possessing two marijuana joints) and was organizing a series of Ann Arbor Blues And Jazz festivals which Kramer still remembers with affection.
"They were just incredible with absolutely no fear or paranoia
present. They were relaxed, experimental and challenging. There
were about three police officers outside and inside there were
about 15,000 people grooving to this really varied programme of
[page break]
Ann Arbor was also the home base for The Stooges, who tinkered with
the tools of improvisation before launching themselves fully into a
career of rabid rock 'n' roll performances.
The Stooges' early musical experiments were more avant garde than punk rock, with Iggy incorporating such household objects as a vacuum cleaner and a blender into an intense wall of feedback that one observer described as sounding like "an airplane was landing in the room.. (Homemade instruments were also incorporated to flesh out the overall sound. The 'Jim-a-phone' involved pushing feedback through a funnel device which was raised and lowered to achieve the best effect. There was also a cheap Hawaiian guitar which Iggy and guitarist Ron Asheton would take turns in plucking to produce a simulated sitar drone, while drummer Scott Asheton pounded away at a set of oil drums with a ball hammer.
"On the front of these drums were written Indian symbols for love and regeneration," Iggy would later tell Anne Wehrer, co-author of his autobiography, I Need More. Then we proceeded to play this thunderous, racy music which would drone on and on, varying the themes. It was entirely instrumental at this time, like jazz gone wild. It was very North African, a very tribal sound and very electronic."
Such experiments arose partly out of The Stooges' interest in a diverse and surprising bag of musicians and musical styles. These included Harry Partch, Cab Galloway, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, John Cage, Robert Ashley, plus music from North Africa, Bali, Scotland and Ireland which Iggy had picked up on while he was a member of the local Gamelan Society!
While MC5 were kicking out in front of the Grande Ballroom crowd and Iggy Pop was smearing the contents of an industrial-sized jar of peanut butter into the hair and upturned faces of his adoring public, the young Mike Kelley was looking on with awe and making mental notes in the hope that one day he could find his way into this magic kingdom. By the time he got round to doing anything about it the Detroit scene of old had broken apart and those responsible for creating it were either disillusioned or languishing in prison. Undaunted, in 1974 Kelley formed an 'anti-rock' group called Destroy All Monsters with Jim Shaw, Cary Loren and a female singer called Niagara.
"Our main intention is to be engaged in an activity that provides an instantaneous and powerful cleansing noise", stated Kelley in an early manifest. "We are not interested in making music.
What Destroy All Monsters were interested in creating were sound sculptures of deafening volume and strangeness, as if The Stooges' early vacuum cleaner improvisations had been hooked up to suck in the influence of such creative spirits as Can, Faust, Syd Barrett, Silver Apples, John Cage and Sun Ra, together with vast splurges of musique concr`te, minimalism, free jazz, psychedelia and garage rock. Strange costumes were designed and worn, tapes were made and collected, and from deep within the sprawling chaos of Kelley's basement the last gasp of Detroit's improvised rock heritage was rattled out with nobody to hear it.
This version of Destroy All Monsters broke up in 1976, when Kelley and Shaw moved to California in search of Fine Arts careers. Kelley would be the most successful, finding some kind of fame in the rock world he despised by supplying his friends Sonic Youth with one of his artworks entitled Ah...Youth!, which the group used for the cover of their 1992 Dirty album.
In 1977, Niagara reformed Destroy All Monsters with Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton and MC5 bass guitarist Michael Davis. Together they explored a more fashionable punk rock sound, with the emphasis on guitar solos and punchy songs.
"The band's direction progressed into the kind of band we were originally in revolt over," bemoaned original member Cary Loren in a press release that accompanied the 1994 release of Ecstatic Peace"/Father Yod of a boxed set of the group's early (1974-76) recordings. "It was a sad demise."
Wayne Kramer, however, is more optimistic about the ability of improvisation to further extend the parameters of rock-based musics, and the role it plays in what he is trying to achieve as an ex-Detroit musician who is living and working in the 90s.
"I look at my job as being to extent rock from and beyond itself. I pattern what I'm trying to do from what takes place at really great free jazz concert, where you see and hear something magical take place between the players on stage and you wonder to yourself, 'How did they do that?' I don't see why I can't do that with my music."

That's kind of interesting. It's the commercial pro license that is free, too. I never know if that kind of thing is an act of desperation or some kind of strategy. It works for Unity, that's for sure. I have a lot of complaints about Unity myself, but I can put a web game on Kongregate with it which is why I'm using it. There are a lot of things missing in Unity like mesh morph and any kind of AI setup. You know, a lot of engines have a navmesh set up, like hl2, I think. Unity has all these addons that cost a lot, kind of like those "free" MMO's.
Currently using Blender and Unity.
Posted 24 December 2011 - 02:55 PM
its strategy, they have another engine coming out. this is to promote that one. one problem for me with unity is the help file. it isnt logical at all, should have been a searchable pdf. but unity was originally for the mac and ported to pc. logical and the mac tend not to go hand in hand

A local religious leader recently published his fourth book, adding his voice to debate surrounding the topic of religion in public schools.
The Rev. Dr. J. Gentile Everett is a Laurinburg native and graduate of the Laurinburg Institute and St. Andrews Presbyterian College. He attended Duke Divinity School before becoming pastor of Mill Branch Baptist Church in Fairmont.
His fourth book, entitled "The Eternal Divorce: Church History and Public Education," discusses the eradication of religion from public schools and its implications.
"I grew up during a time in this place when times were extremely difficult for our community, and the descriptions that I give, however funny they may seem, they are true," said Everett. "Having those kinds of difficult moments when I was growing up, I turned to the only two entities available to me that I could go to on a regular basis: school and church. At the time, they worked in concert. My early teachers were members of my church, when you would go to school, you would have prayer. We would even recite the Lord's Prayer. After time, we know that ended."
The book posits that the two entities will never be reunited in the United States, and that they actively alienate each other, to the detriment of some young people.
"The focuses of both institutions have become different," he said. "The focus in the schools is about test scores: getting the test scores up, getting money into the local school system. It's all about the dollar… Many churches nowadays will say that you don't need to be educated, all you need to do is have the spirit and you can do all of these wonderful things."
Everett's career includes two years as a teacher at East Laurinburg Alternative Academy, and his work ventures the opinion that standardized testing is an ineffective method for determining a student's intelligence. For himself, he said that applying himself in school and in church were complementary skills which helped him to rise above his disinterested peers.
"I felt like, when I was at school, I had to take on the same kind of demeanor I had at church and vice versa, but with the advent of separation of church and state it became quite obvious that this was never going to happen again," said Everett. "The political landscape, the social understanding of both institutions, are such that they will never ever remarry. You've got all kinds of religions going on now and people are talking about the freedom to express their religion, and that's fine, but I thought, early on, they worked better together."
"The Eternal Divorce" has taken Everett about two years to complete, and he is currently starting his first work of fiction, to be called "Three Rims and a Hubcap." "The Eternal Divorce" has been adopted as reading material at Wake Forest University, Duke University Divinity School, and Shaw University for seminarians and education students. Later in the year, he will sign copies at events in Detroit, Mich., New York, N.Y., and Atlanta, Ga.
Developing in education and spirituality while reconciling sometimes opposing ideas, Everett said, has helped him to determine his own place in the world.
"School taught me how to deal with the complexities of life that I would have to face and the church taught me who created me and how I can benefit from having made my visit upon Mother Earth," Everett said. "I really believe there is no way a person can truly be educated apart from a belief in a supreme being, whether you call him God or whatever you want to call him. There is an intelligent design behind the composition of our world. That did not happen fortuitously, that was not some random act. It has too much order."
Copies are available online through amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.
