Childish Gambino on Chance the Rapper's "Favorite Song"
Chance the Rapper's Acid Rap has been one of my favorite records this year. It's a buoyant, exuberant tape full of tight wordplay, fantastic pseudo-soul hooks, and memorable production. At the end of the year, I definitely expect it to be in the running for not only my favorite mixtape of the year, but also to contend for my favorite long-form release, period. Basically, what I'm saying is that if you haven't downloaded it yet, you should really hurry up and get to it.
Although, if you're feeling any trepidation, I can relate. Despite all of the hype, the good reviews, and the early accolades, I was a little hesitant to listen to it. The reason that I was a bit uneager to listen to the tape is because its eighth track had the words "(feat. Childish Gambino)" after its title (that track, obviously, is the one above).
You see, I generally like Donald Glover. Community is one of my favorite television programs,1 and he is a big part of that. As a comedic actor, he has that inherent ability to make practically any sentence funny purely by how he delivers it, and he's proven himself as a surprisingly solid dramatic actor in Community's more serious moments. He also contributed as a writer to some of 30 Rock's best seasons, and helped give us the immortal "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah." Oh yeah, I've also seen him do stand up, and he is also funny when he is doing that. Funny. Funny. Funny. If you're not catching my drift, basically, the dude's really funny, and I enjoy most of the work he's done over the years.
That all being said, I fucking hate him as a rapper.
I've listened to the majority of the music he's put out under the name Childish Gambino, and I honestly kind of wish I hadn't because I didn't enjoy a bit of it. His strange insistence that every line contain a sub-Ludacris-quality punchline, and his adherence to uninspired, turgid production are baffling to me. But what I find peculiarly irksome is the fact that he can't seem to deliver a verse without positioning himself as an outsider that wants to be a part of hip hop but can't be because he's all about the gangstas and bling bling and the dungarees and what not. The fact is that the current rap climate is as far from gangsta rap as it could be.2 It's not 1994 anymore, man. Dudes have been wearing tight jeans and rapping over indie rock samples for nearly a decade now. It's a position that makes me question how much hip hop he actually listens to, because it sounds exactly like something a person who doesn't listen to any rap would say. I mean, is it any surprise that Camp is the favorite rap album of all my friends that don't listen to rap?3
I know everything I've said so far is extremely negative, but I actually want to praise Glover's work on the track above. He and Chance are clearly kindred spirits, as they share a goofy, manic energy and love to shift tempos and delivery in their verses. And based upon this track, it seems like some of Chance's good judgement has rubbed off on Glover. He's no longer straining his delivery to force his vocals down your throat, and he's toned down the incessant puns that marred his previous verses. He's clearly backed off of some of his bad habits and has focused on highlighting his strengths (the aforementioned tempo changes, and the versatile delivery of his non-musical comedic work). It's a real step in the right direction for him as an artist.
As I mentioned, before I listened to Acid Rap, I was sort of dreading this track. But, after my first listen through, I suddenly realized that I hadn't even noticed which verse he'd delivered. In fact, when I went back and checked the credits I found that I'd mistaken his verse for the work of some unknown member of Chance's crew. I'd listened to his verse and not been annoyed by it.
While that might be a case of damning with faint praise,4 I'd still call it a big step forward for him.
1. Or should I say, it was, and now maybe it will be again? The whole Harmon out / Harmon in thing has really confused everyone's feelings about the show, right?
2. See Kanye West, Drake, 2 Chainz, all of Odd Future, Lil B, Danny Brown, Angel Haze, Big Sean, all of Black Hippy, Azealea Banks, Le1f, Mykki Blanco, and basically every other notable / semi-notable rapper working today.
3. I really have to give The Evil Empire's resident hitman Ian Cohen credit for absolutely nailing this idea in his review of that album. He writes "If you buy only one hip-hop album this year, I'm guessing it'll be Camp." I've been saying things to that effect since I first heard his I Am Just A Rapper tapes, but Cohen stated it perfectly.
4. Yeah, I'm definitely damning him with faint praise.
Cover Story
(In Which We Cover Covers)
James Blake - "The Wilhelm Scream"
Somehow, despite how often I've listened to James Blake's self-titled full length this year, it was only a few days ago that I learned that "The Wilhelm Scream," one of the album's best tracks, is basically a cover of the song "Where To Turn" by James Litherland, Blake father.1 The reason that I am so taken aback by this news is the fact that it completely opens up how I interpret this song.2
The song's title reference is, of course, the well-know film in-joke, the Wilhelm scream. Sound designer Ben Burtt found an old studio reel titled "Man being eaten by alligator" and incorporated the shrill cry into the film he was working on, Star Wars. He named it for a character in The Charge at Light Feather, whose utterance of the sound first set Burtt on his quest to discover the original recording. Though sound designers had been using the recording for years, Burtt was the one who started using it as a combination of a calling card and an inside joke. Eventually sneaking the sound into films as the sound a character makes when falling became a tradition in the sound design community.3
Surprisingly, though, the Wilhelm scream itself does not appear in "The Wilhelm Scream" at all. Undoubtedly, most people familiar with the term are likely surprised that Blake would name a track after a famous sound, without adding in the sound itself. That seems like a very clear idea and an effective gimmick.4
Instead, Blake's invocation of the Wilhelm scream is purely conceptual. He uses the sound effect as a metaphor for both the content of the song, and for the song itself.
First, the song's lyrics relate to the idea of falling, or perhaps more specifically about the feeling of falling. In the original version of the song, Litherland invokes "falling" only at the beginning of the song. Blake, conversely, holds fast to the reference, having it return again and again. In fact, Blake only really uses the first verse of the song, completely eschewing the chorus, or anything after a minute or so in. Thus, the name change was basically necessitated by the fact that Blake completely omits the section from which the original derives its name. While falling was an incidental part of the original, it is central to Blake's version.
Secondly, in film the Wilhelm scream is basically analogous to a sample in music. It's a bit of repurposed sound. It's cutting out a bit of one work and stitching it into another. As Blake is an electronic musician, sampling is a big part of his work. Thus, the Wilhelm scream is naturally akin to the music Blake makes.
Furthermore, this track is essentially a cover of a portion of another song, which is also a sort of recycling of a bit of an earlier work. Covers, samples, and the Wilhelm scream are all connected by this conceptual undercurrent. They are all bits of previous works that artists have taken and formed into a new work altogether. Therefore, Blake's use of his father's song in "The Wilhelm Scream" is similar to the way that Ben Burtt used the Wilhelm scream in his work: they both took a bit of old sound and used it as a bit of a new collection of sound.
This fact is absolutely essential to fully understanding this song, so tell your friends, kids.
1. Thank you, Evil Empire. May my mixed feelings about you continue forever more.
2. It also means that my two favorite songs on the album ("The Wilhelm Scream" and "Limit To Your Love") are both covers.
3. Strangely, the guy who actually screamed the Wilhelm scream is generally thought to be Sheb Wooley, the dude who sang "The Purple People Eater."
4. I mean, I would have made a blog post about it. (TWG Real Talk 2011)
*SUPERSECRET BIH EDIT: James Litherland was a long time session musician (guitar, vocals) and early member of the seminal but underappreciated British progressive rock band Colosseum, who, along with King Crimson and The Nice, really kicked off the late 60s prog movement.

Adam Best – As much as I'd like to predict a victory after being wrong about the Chiefs last week, I simply can't. Julius Peppers is going to make it a long day for Herb Taylor, and the Brandons will have their hands full with Moose and Smitty. I see the Panthers getting up early and pulling away late. At the same time, a win wouldn't absolutely shock me, but last week's offensive playcalling (especially in the redzone) won't get us there. Panthers 27, Chiefs 10
Eric Crane – Last week the Chiefs made me eat my words. If this game was at Arrowhead I would take KC, unfortunately for Harm and crew its not. I do expect a close game and a KC cover. Panthers 20, Chiefs 14
Merlin – Close, but no cigar for our young team. The running games and defenses dominate as we spend the next week talking about a conservative offense. Panthers 17, Chiefs 13
Double D – The Chiefs defense revisits to the same strategy it found success with against the Broncos by limiting the run, allowing the underneath stuff but denying Carolina the end zone. Kansas City will be keen to take advantage of the Panthers injury problems at offensive tackle. With Wharton sliding over to left tackle and Otah either out or hampered at the RT, KC will bring multiple blitzes coming off the right edge and inside left. Delhomme will get rattled and throw critical picks in a match where turnovers and time of possession decide the day.
As expected, the Chiefs will struggle to make offensive headway against a very stout Panther defense but by sticking with a conservative, move-the-chains approach they achieve limited success primarily due to effective pass blocking in the first half. Kansas City will key on keeping J Peps tied up while Huard and company come out firing with the play action in the first half and then put the game away in the second half with the run. Heady defense, good field position, and some savvy veteran play by Huard and the four-pronged onslaught of LJ, Charles, Gonz, and D-Bowe prove to be just enough for the Chiefs to outlast the Panthers and squeak by with a very punishing, very ugly, very Hermesque win. Chiefs 13, Panthers 9
John White, Cat Crave – The Panthers offensive line is hurting. Left tackle Jordan Gross is out with a concussion and rookie right tackle Jeff Otah is questionable with a bum ankle. Lucky for Carolina they're playing the Chiefs – a franchise that hasn't won back to back games since Watergate. Damon Huard is back for the Chiefs and Larry Johnson started running like he had removed his Dick Vermeil Autographed Diaper last week. I expect the Panthers defense to set the tone, shut down the run and force Huard to beat them through the air – something he will have a hard time doing with his lack of serious offensive weapons. Jake Delhomme will probably hand off more than he throws. He has to hope that Jeremy Bridges and the other likely replacement tackle, Travelle Wharton can do the job. It should be enough as Carolina ought to win this one by at least 10. Carolina 27, Kansas City 13

There's a basketball game in Boston tonight. It'll be played in a professional basketball arena, on a court 94 feet by 50 feet. The free throw line will be fifteen feet away from the basket, the three-point line 23' at the corners and 23'9" elsewhere. The rules of basketball will apply for forty-eight game minutes, and should the teams be tied after the time, they'll play five more, and so on and so on until one team's declared a victor.
There's a basketball game in Boston tonight, but given the circumstances, it's kind of hard to remember that.
After his Brooklyn Nets defeated the Dallas Mavericks 107-106 in Brooklyn, Nets forward Kevin Garnett planned a late dinner with teammate Paul Pierce in New York. This isn't an uncommon occurrence, according to either player, but they assuredly had an uncommon conversation: the 19-22 Brooklyn Nets are in Boston tonight, taking on the 15-30 Boston Celtics at TD Garden, where Pierce played his first fifteen seasons and Garnett his last six before getting sent to Brooklyn this offseason.
Pierce, who's second all-time in Celtics history in points scored, was cautious with the media, guarded about his emotions upon returning to the city he made history in. He joked that he might not know where to go on the visitor's side. He'll spend time in the equipment room, say hello to season ticket holders, chat with Celtics commentators Mike Gorman and Tommy Heinsohn, as well as other personnel.
What he'll do, he has some idea. What he'll feel? He said "I don't know" or "who knows?" about it five times in a little over three minutes. Hard to blame him.
"Definitely a lot of memories are going to be passing through my head," Pierce said after the game Saturday night, his eyes wandering from the sea of recorders below him. "You play so many games in one building but, it's something you can't script. ... It's going to be a lot of emotions."
The more-demonstrative Garnett shared his favorite memories of his time in Boston.
"Obviously the winning stands out," Garnett said. "But times when some guys would be beat up and play, small things for me. I can remember Paul playing through the flu in Cleveland, and he was throwing up and everyone saw that he had to take like two or three IVs, and he played. Times when Ray had a messed up foot and played and Rondo gutting through his elbow. Big Baby having a concussion. Doc sick in Detroit playing through with a hoarse voice like couldn't even talk.
"Small things that I don't want to really share with you guys, for obvious reasons. Like the ceiling in LA, which I'm going to take... you guys have no idea what the hell I'm talking about, but these are certain things that just stand out to me that I'll never forget."
(No one had the heart to tell Garnett that we knew exactly what he was talking about.)
Garnett knows that emotions will run high, for both him and Pierce, and that Boston left an indelible mark on him as much as he left one on the franchise.
"I think it's going to be forever embedded," Garnett said of his years there. "People will remember the last six years that we were there. I think anybody that was part of that run or part of that era will be always remembered. Bostonians, New England, they understand that, and they never forget their favorites. We were fortunate to be part of that whole transformation and some things are forever, man."
Garnett joined Pierce in Boston in the summer of 2007 with a reputation as one of the NBA's great players without a championship, changing that perception by taking home the title in their first year together. The Celtics went to the playoffs all six years with the tandem, including five Atlantic Division banners.
Now, Celtics fans have their first chance to show appreciation for two of the most significant players in their team's history, an appreciation Garnett reciprocates.
"It's funny," Garnett continued. "They have a little pre-game thing Larry (Bird) always used to say. In pre-game, I would never look up, but I would hear it. Larry would say, 'You can never fool the people of Boston.'
"When you're working hard, they know pure basketball. When you go all out, they understand that and they root for that. That's what they remember."

Hi folkes,
recently set up a vpn server here and we are now testing it with a few members of staff. I have tried it from home and it works perfectly, I can remote desktop to my machine and I can map drives to my home drive as well as others.
One member of staff has been able to connect to the the VPN, and RDP to his machine. However, he is unable to map the drives. It shows a message to say that the network location cannot be found.
My first thought was that he was doing it wrong, so I gave him a batch file to run to map the drives and he is still getting the same issue. Has anyone else had this same problem??

I still can't believe that the New England Patriots picked Ryan Clady. Hey, the New York Giants defensive line did own them at the Super Bowl. Anyway, that bring us to kcchiefsfan56 and the Baltimore Ravens.You'd think Matt Ryan would be the pick here, but the Ravens also need to replenish their cornerback depth. We'll see what happens.
By the way, this is about the pace we'll keep (3-6 picks per day). That will give everyone time to comment on and discuss each pick. Additionally, mock drafters will have time to do research, and will only have to check the site frequently on the day when they are within five or six spots of drafting. Lastly, contrary to popular belief, we do not sit around and stare at AA with our eyelids forced open Clockwork Orange style all day long — on most days, at least. The real point is that this is the perfect speed. Keep in mind we are still two and a half months away from the NFL Draft. We'll do this one and at least one more AA Readers Mock Draft.

GSA Fleet:
Information on the Effect of Donating Cars to YouthBuild USA and Potential Benefits to Rural Youthbuild Participants
GAO-07-153: Published: Dec 8, 2006. Publicly Released: Dec 8, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4325
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
To assist youth who live in high poverty rural areas obtain and retain jobs, YouthBuild USA, a national nonprofit organization, has proposed providing donated used cars to selected low-income youth in rural communities. YouthBuild USA's proposed program hinges on receiving donations of used cars from the federal government's General Services Administration (GSA). This report discusses (1) the effect of donating 1 to 5 percent of selected GSA used cars on GSA's fleet vehicle sales operations, (2) what studies have shown with respect to the benefits that car ownership or access may hold for low-income individuals, and (3) what studies of selected low income car ownership programs and experiences of these programs have shown with respect to the benefits of participant car ownership. In conducting this study, GAO examined auction data from GSA, reviewed academic studies on the benefits of car access in gaining employment, and interviewed officials of six existing low income car ownership programs.
If GSA annually donated 1 to 5 percent of the compact sedans available for auction from its Fleet program (112 to 559 cars), its annual sales revenue would be reduced by $600,000 to $3 million. To donate cars directly to YouthBuild USA, GSA would need new statutory authority to deviate from the existing process for disposing of surplus federal property. If it were given this authority, GSA would likely first seek appropriations to recover the loss in sales revenue from the donations but would also consider increasing its leasing rates for compact sedans. However, GSA would also require new legislative authority to increase its rates for this purpose because the current statute governing its Fleet program does not allow it to pass on these costs to the agencies that lease vehicles from it. The seven studies GAO reviewed consistently found that owning a car or having access to one increases the likelihood that low-income individuals (such as rural Youthbuild participants) find a job. One reason for this is that a car allows a person to search for a job over a wider geographic area. Differences between the populations in these studies and rural Youthbuild participants did not allow GAO to use this research to identify the degree to which participants in YouthBuild USA's proposed program would benefit from having a car. Six studies of low income car ownership programs and the experiences of those operating the programs indicated that participants got and retained jobs, earned higher wages, and spent more time with their families as a result of owning a car. However, it is difficult to project the results of these studies to rural Youthbuild participants because of limitations in the methodologies of the studies, differences between individuals served by the programs and YouthBuild USA, and differences in the designs of the existing programs and the YouthBuild USA proposal.

Hello had XJ6 Diversion F for about 8 months. After 6k miles the orings on the chain started being squeezed out. After discussing with yamaha they replaced chain and sprocket under warranty. I have now done 12k and the issue has happened again. Below and attached are from scott oiler. Re our conversation, I've attached a few photos showing a chain
from a Yamaha Diversion sent to us by a customer wit a similar tale. To recap, we think the front sprockets on some bike are not hard
enough and wear very rapidly, so that the chain rollers no longer fit down into
the valleys between the teeth and are forced to run an increasingly bigger
radius around the sprocket. The first signs that all is not well is that the
chain starts to tighten. They get so tight that when riding over bumps, the
chain is actually trying to bend the swing arm to the left.If you look at the view from behind the rear sprocket, you can see
that the chain is sitting over to the left and the sprocket teeth are pushing
the rollers to the left, squeezing out the O-rings.Does anyone know why this keeps happening. Thanks

Hi Simonbear and welcome to the site
I am presuming the bike is second hand when you bought it?.If so i can only think inferior parts have been fitted in both cases for this wear to occur,or the wrong parts?Check both the chain and sprockets for pitch,you should be running 520 pitch chain and both the front(16 tooth) and rear(46 tooth) sprockets need to be the same pitch.Is this a main dealer fitting these parts? and what make parts are they?are they fitting Yamaha original parts or something else?
Check the rear wheel bearings for movement and the swing arm for movement,also check the wheel alignment if you have a vernier check the alignment with that as well to see if the standard wheel aligners are very far out?Good Luck
Thanks KCMC, the bike is going in for its 12k service at a different dealers next week so will make sure they check bearings, alignment etc. Just to answer your questions, the bike was purchased new from dealer but was a 2011 model. The parts were new from factory and the replacements were genuine Yamaha parts. All work has been carried out by dealer. Have you ever seen any thing like this before?

of the sprockets must be miles out to me .....but whats causing it ? is there swarf little bits in the front sprocket cover as kc says summet aint right
Hi again Simon
I am thinking now you say this is a new bike all be it a 2011 model,the warranty would start from the day of purchase.Looking at the pictures you have posted there must be a manufacturing problem for this sort of wear in this short time,and the wear is very abnormal not consistent with normal wear.I think this should be pointed out to the dealer ship you bought the bike from(is it a main dealer?).If you haven't modified or been doing some strange adjustments yourself for the deal to have a beef,then i think you need to pursue this with the dealer you bought the bike off.You may need to get in touch with Yamaha UK and maybe even have to have a solicitor write a letter to them to sort this problem out,and also be refunded for the impromptu wear to two sets of chains and sprockets.There is a solicitor on the site which you could contact to discuss your on going problem,i am sure he could point you in the right direction(I think you have a case with the pictures and the warranty,and would need this sorting while still under warranty,before ever moving this bike on(ever) and some poor biker inheriting this problem with no manufacturer's warranty) .Good Luck
Site solicitorACIC,Andrew Campbell,http://www.bikelawyer.co.uk
thanks again for your reply. Yamaha replaced the chain and sprocket last time under warranty. I'm booked in this Monday and will see what they say this time. Hopefully they will work out what's wrong with it this time. Still have over a years warranty left and didn't plan on selling it for a while but they need to sort it. Will let you know the outcome. Thanks

With kcmc et-al, there must be something way out of alignment to cause the damage you've photographed there
Reply from Yamaha Thank you for your email, regarding the
Chain on your above Yamaha XJ6. Naturally we are sorry to hear of your
concerns, the details of which have been noted and placed on file. As your are
aware, your XJ6 when purchased new was supplied with the benefit of a
manufacturer's warranty, which during its period of cover, offers to replace
any item whose failure is the result of a manufacturing defect, or incorrect
factory assembly. In this instance, whilst a chain and sprocket are deemed to be
serviceable items, having no definitive life span and generally not covered by
the warranty, a claim was previously accepted for elimination purposes. However,
it would appear that on this occasion the reported defect with the chain is not
attributable to a manufacturing defect and as such, we hope in the
circumstances you may understand why we were unable to accept a further
warranty claim, for the remedial repair work required. In this instance we
would advise the fitting of a new chain and sprocket kit (part number
36B-W001A-01-00) and removing the Scottoiler. Once again we would like to take
this opportunity point out that a Scottoiler is not an approved product for
this machine or any other Yamaha bike. We are sorry that it was necessary for
you to contact us regarding this matter and trust that the above information is
of assistance. Regards
Bike has been looked at by Yamaha Garage and everything is aligned correctly. Yamaha have rejected warranty claim and blame scott oiler. I now have to replace chain and sprockets and remove scott oiler and see what happens in the next 5600 miles. Arrgh
Hi again
This letter seems to me to be directing your problem to the aftermarket chain oiling device(Scott oiler)and this to be the reason why the chain and sprockets keep on failing.If this is so?i would find this totally unacceptable myself as these devices are very often offered to a new bike owner as added extra to prevent chain wear,never know it to increase wear,so i think they are using this as an excuse not to investigate the real problem occurring here.It's up to you Now but if you want to pursue it any further you are going to need a Solicitor as i mentioned before,get all your info together,dates times receipts etc,and give it to the guy here on the site,he will let you know if its worth your while to do this or just bite the bullet and suck it up?got to be worth a shot.Good Luck

with the way the sprocket and chain have worn. I would expect the wheel alignment to be miles out, if not engine twisted in the frame. These are the sort of things you see when a bike has been hit side on and wants checking in a motoliner jig or by a bike engineer.

Sometimes you want to eat and eat now... without going the whole table service routine. But in many cases, the ready-to-go places are often blah or boring. Dull Chinese, cardboard pizza, sandwiches with no flair, etc.. But good Indian food is rarely dull, so I was excited to be walking around the new nabe and noticed this small eatery on a side street, offering a wide assortment of take-out (or eat in) fare.
There were at least 20 items from which to choose, and I went with a heaping bowl of spicy lamb curry, a potato/veggie side and naan bread. They've got 2 tables with 4 seats and 2 two-tops, and possibly more seats upstairs. But half the crowd was stopping in and getting food to go.
I wasn't on my way home, so I stayed and ate, enjoying the succulent meat and savory spices. It wasn't as hot as described, but still good. And everything is priced a la carte, where I would have liked a few "packaged" options. But otherwise, it was a good value and I got stuffed for around 10.5 (with coke as well).
I wouldn't go out of my way for this place, but next time I'm in the area and hungry, you can bet I'll consider it for a quick bite or to grab some takeaway if walking homeward.
A nice easy lunch these guys do is chicken tikka in naan bread with lettuce, onion, and either medium chilli or yoghurt sauce. It was more than enough, and rolled so tightly that nothing could fall out the bottom, not to mention it was only 3 pounds.
There are also some other yummy things like samosas and fish cakes. Instead of the tikka you can choose grilled lamb or chicken on a stick. They also do rice dishes and salads too.
There is one table in there, but this place is better for take-away.
Clean and cosy little place just on the edge of the main Edgeware Road strip. Minimalist, this place personfies the kind of home cooked pakistani cuisine restaraunt that was prevalent in London in the 1980's but is dying out now in place of the trendy wine bar and black shirted waiter type look .
Downstairs most of the place is taken up by the large food counter display which shows around 20-30 dishes.
There is room for seating about 12 people downstairs along with a hand washing basin which i always find a nice touch. But for larger parties there is a big functioning room upstairs for about 30 persons.
Ah the food! yes! curries and rice dishes, superb fresh baked rotis and nan, fried fish , samosas, and tandoori chickens. Servings are big mind. A typical curry costs around £6 but it will easily be enough for 2 people.
Highly recommended for cleanliness and helpfullness of staff on the downside the nan bread is reaheated (why when the far more intricate rotis are fresh?) and the samosas and pakoras (never foods which lend themselves to reheating or being served hours after cooking) arent great.

Lost Bracelet
If anyone finds a red leather bracelet with a blue evil eye inside the hand of fatima, please return it to me. It's mine and I lost it on my way to class this morning. It would really mean alot to me because the person who gave it to me, means a lot to me. So if you find it, please return it to me. I will reward you with thanks and maybe some popcorn chicken.

Pistorius' lawyer challenges forensic expert over 'incorrect handling' of evidence
The forensic analyst who examined the cricket bat used by Paralympian Oscar Pistorius to break down the toilet door after shooting Reeva Steenkamp was challenged by the defence over the fact that there are strong signs that the evidence was handled incorrectly.
The State's weakest moments in the trial of Pistorius were shown on Wednesday as forensic analyst Colonel Johannes Vermeulen, who specialises in materials analysis, testified.
According to News24, Pistorius's lead defence advocate Barry Roux challenged Vermeulen over two points- he did not gather the evidence properly when he visited the scene of the shooting in March 2013 and that it was tampered with after it was taken into police custody.
The report mentioned that the photos Vermeulen took, when compared to those taken about a month later show that someone placed a boot-print on some of the door splinters and then wiped them off, adding that they also show that he missed some of the door parts when he did his in-lab analysis.
Vermeulen explained that according to standing police orders, the evidence has to be protected and kept in either a gun safe or a locked room with controlled access and refused to accept that the only way that the prosthetic 'stain' could have been on the splinters was when Pistorius stepped on it while carrying Steenkamp's body out.

Obama's science czar is a wackjob. So sue me.
Last month, I reported on how the Obama science czar's office stonewalled my questions about John Holdren and his warm relationship with intellectual mentor and colleague Harrison Brown, a leading eugenics enthusiast who referred to the world population as a "pulsating mass of maggots."
Investigative blogger Zombie provided an in-depth look at Holdren and Brown two weeks ago. (Full Holdren archives here.)
A deafening silence about Holdren's radical ideology continues to grip the MSM. But the pressure from blogs and Fox News is getting under the science czar's skin. And the left-wing Huffington Post has stepped up to try and stifle critics — by accusing them of a "defamation campaign." When you can't win arguments with dissenters, redefine their criticism as defamatory hate:
Conservative media outlets are waging an online defamation campaign against Presidential Science Advisor Jon Holdren, using out-of-context quotes and misinformation to portray him as hell-bent on pursuing population control through the use of forced abortions and mass sterilization.
Fox News reported that Holdren was bent on adopting a "planetary regime" of population control, while blogger Michelle Malkin called him a "wackjob" who entertains policies that would mandate "forced abortions, mass sterilizations, and poisoning the water supply to control the population."
I called him a wackjob because he is a wackjob, and HuffPo's best efforts to spin his work — which people can read for themselves — can't mask the truth.
HuffPo's newest alibi for Holdren?
"Holdren's work was also a product of its time."
Bull. The ghost of Margaret Sanger is not an abandoned artifact, but an animating spirit that thrives on the Left under the guise of "choice" and green values funded by deep-pocketed social engineers like the Rockefellers and Ted Turner.
The mainstream apathy over this population control enthusiast masquerading as a climate change do-gooder is a product of our time.
If this is "defamation," go ahead and sue.
Go ahead.

Buddhist counseling is the topic of this episode. Becoming a Buddhist doesn't solve all your problems. We all struggle with personal issues and personality flaws. Buddhist counseling is the process of helping another person do two things: Apply the principles of Buddhism and experience them to their lives. In the next few minute I want to briefly talk about Buddhist counseling.
Love and non-attachment is the topic of this episode. The second Noble Truth of Buddhism teaches that attachment is the cause of suffering. But does that mean that we shouldn't be attached to our spouse, our parents, our children, our country, our friends, or our job? Doesn't being unattachment mean that we don't love them or really care about them? If you have ever wondered about this, you are not alone. It seems hard to reconcile non-attachment with truly caring about others. In the next few minute I want to talk about love and non-attachment.
Overcoming aversion, procrastination, and the feeling of being overwhelmed is the topic of this episode. Buddhism teaches that attachment and aversion are the cause of suffering. Many of us don't like doing homework, chores, or even our jobs. These things have to be done, but our minds add suffering to the tasks before us. The more we think about what we have to do, the worse we feel about it. In the next few minutes I want to teach you a little slogan to help you do what needs to be done. That slogan is really simple, it is, "Just Do It."
Teachers and gurus is the topic of this episode. Welcome to episode 100. The 5 Minute Dharma launched on December 3, 2012 and has seen tremendous growth. 5 Minute Dharma is one of the fastest growing Buddhist podcasts. But I wouldn't be here without you, you literally saved the podcast from ending. Thank you. Today I want to take a few minute to talk about teachers and gurus, beginning with myself.
Centering and anchoring is the topic of this episode. In the Dhammapada, verse 33, we read that, "The mind is wandering and unsteady, difficult to guard, hard to restrain." I am sure you have experienced this yourself, if you have been meditating for any length of time. We get lost in the drama of daily life and easily become unmindful. It sometimes seems so difficult to stay calm and peaceful. In the next few minute I want to talk about a technique to help you center and anchor yourself in the present moment.
Sex and lust is the topic of this episode. First, you have to understand that the ideal in Buddhism regarding sex is complete abstinence. That's why Buddhist monks are forbidden from sexual relations of any kind. But lay Buddhist are permitted to have sex with a partner they are committed to. The only restriction is laid out in the third precept of the Five Precepts of Buddhism. The precept says, "I undertake the precept to refrain from sexual misconduct." In the next few minute I want to discuss refraining from sexual misconduct.
Alcohol and addiction is the topic of this episode. By the time I was 17, I had already had four father and three mothers. The pain of rejection led me to start drinking. The CDC reports that "At least 38 million adults in the US drink too much." So I am not the only person to turn to alcohol to drown out their pain. I want to spend the next few minutes talking about alcohol and addiction.
Thoughts creating how we feel is the topic of this episode. The Buddha said in the Dhammapada: "Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think." Many times we don't realize how much our thoughts affect our emotions. Once you start becoming aware of your mind, you learn a little secret. What you think creates how you feel. I want to spend the next few minutes talking about how thoughts produce feelings.
Guidelines and advice for having a Buddhist marriage is the topic of this episode. In Buddhism, marriage is considered a personal and individual concern. Therefore it is not considered a religious duty or a sacrament. Rather, it is a considered a secular affair, a social convention designed to promote family life. Buddhists follow the civil laws of their government regarding marriage. I want to spend the next few minutes talking Buddhist marriage.
Letting go of ideas and expectations in meditation is the topic of this episode. As one meditation teacher points out, "Meditation ought to decrease the drivenness of our lives, not make it worse." But many times, how we approach meditation actually hinders our meditation. We need to learn to let go of these ideas and expectations that hinder our ability to just truly be in meditation. They harass us like an angry swarm of bees. In the next few minutes I want to share with you four things to let go of so you can meditate freely and joyfully.
Growing from independence to interdependence is the topic of this episode. Every year in the United States, on the 4th of July, we celebrate Independence Day. It is a day commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.
It is commemorates the transition from dependence to independence. In our personal life we also go through this process. We grow from dependence on our parents and others to independence. I want to spend the next few minutes talking about the path of maturity that takes us from dependence to independence, and then finally to interdependence.
The two ways of relating to the circumstances of life is the topic of this episode. Situations and events happen to us all the time. We have two basic ways of relating to them. We can be reactive or observant. The Buddha way is the way of observation and deep looking. I want to spend the next few minutes talking about the difference of these two ways of relating to events and situations.
Growing older gracefully is the topic of this episode. This weekend I will turn 50 years old. In 5 years I will be able to get the senior discount at IHOP. Am I old? I don't feel old. In a society that looks at old age with disdain and disrespect, we don't want to grow old. In the next few minutes I want to talk about growing old gracefully.
Living in the here and now is the topic of this episode. Where are you? Let me be a little more specific. Where are you mentally? Where is your mind? Where are your thoughts? What are you thinking about? We have the ability to travel through time and space with our minds. The problem is, that we live our lives everywhere but here and now. I want to spend the next few minute talking to you about living in the here and now.
I want to start by saying how much I appreciate the outpouring of love and support I have received since I announced I was ending the podcast. I never knew how much the podcast meant to you. I am not sure I can adequately express how your messages moved me. It is because of this that I have decided to return to doing the 5 Minute Dharma podcast. As an old preacher once said, "No one should be afraid to change his views, his language, or his practices in conformity with increasing light." The podcast has always been a labor of love, so I am bringing the love back.
have good news and bad news. Let's begin with the bad news. 5 Minute Dharma Podcast is coming to an end. I want to thank you for listening and for your emails of encouragement. Now let's get to the good news. I am starting up another podcast, called the Wisdom Podcast..
So here is what I need you to do. If you really liked 5 Minute Dharma I think you will like Wisdom Podcast. The first thing you should do is go over to www.WisdomPodcast.com and bookmark the site. Then I encourage you to subscribe to the podcast. so you never miss an episode. Currently you can subscribe by RSS Feed and, YouTube. I am working on getting the podcast in iTunes, iHeart Radio, Stitcher, Spreaker, TuneIn, Blubrry Network, and Miro. I should be in most of these within a week or so.
Accepting responsibility for our failures and mistakes is the topic of this episode. Responsibility means being responsible, answerable, or accountable for something within one's power or control. Responsibility is the ability to respond, rather than react. It is saying that, if it's going to be, it's up to me. And if it doesn't happen, I take full responsibility. I want to spend the next few minute talking to you about taking responsibility for your life.
Buddhism as psychology is the topic of this episode. In his book The Universe in a Single Atom, the Dalai Lama stated, "if scientific analysis were conclusively to demonstrate certain claims in Buddhism to be false, then we must accept the findings of science and abandon those claims." As Western culture engages Buddhism, a convergence is taking place. The secularism and democracy of Western culture is changing Buddhism, evolving it. In the next few minutes I want plot out a path for the continuing evolution of Buddhism in the West.
The hindrance of doubt is the topic of this episode. There are two kinds of doubt. There is investigative doubt and paralyzing doubt. Investigative doubt is not a mood, but a method. It is the inquisitive mind researching the evidence. Paralyzing doubt is more of a mood, an wavering and indecisive mindset that paralyzes. It is this paralyzing kind of doubt that the Buddha called a hindrance. I want to spend the next few minutes discussing three areas where is doubt manifests.
The art of listening is the topic of this episode. Listening is loving. Listening demonstrates love and is, in fact, love in action. When a person invests the time and energy in truly listening to us, we know that they truly care for us. And if they truly care for us, we feel free to open our hearts and share ourselves at a deep level. In the next few minutes I want to give you three steps in the art of listening.
Great podcast!

Anyone else feel sorry for Marc Thuet?
- t
- The Macallan 18 Sep 14, 2009 07:28 PM
I just had the misfortune of wasting an hour of my evening watching this new show 'Conviction'!
I remember when Marc's food was among the best in the city. Many a spectacular meal at Centro in the late 90's when Thuet and Co. were one of the hottest dining tickets in town. After that, I remember having two wonderful meals at The Fifth. Marc's food was always robust, full-flavored and rich, yet delicate and smart. I have dined at his King Street West outpost twice over the last 3 years or so. All I can remember is the obnoxious, loud and out-of-place woman that is his wife Biana! I can't believe she has taken Marc Thuet and his esteemed reputation as a chef to nothing but a TV tabloid.
When the final incarnation of Bistro Bakery Thuet / Thuet / Bite Me! / Conviction finally comes to end (and no doubt it will) I think Marc should move on and leave his wife at home! Does anyone feel the same about his wife and how she has potentially destroyed his career? I know that I will never step foot in their establishment again based solely on her attitude, behavior towards staff and guests and the fact that she thinks she actually knows what she is doing!
Someone please save Marc Thuet!
Not a fan of his food but I was actually impressed with the show given it being reality tv. When are you going to see a live sheep butchered on prime time tv? The cooking segments are reflective of what's expected in a professional kitchen.
No I don't want to eat there but I would certainly keep watching.
btw, post more, you were one of my favourite posters on the "old school" 1 page board. You've pissed your fair share of people off, but you sure had your "convictions".
I love these post-cocktail hour posts! I wonder what the moderators can keep up with....
On a more serious note, there's clearly an identity crisis in the business plan. The breads are good, the charcuterie is very good, but the experiments in pricing structures through the retail outlets is undermining the brand, but the pates are still the gold standard (retail) in town. With Ramsay able to pull in 10 mill per year for his tv angst, while his restaurants are struggling makes me wonder if Thuet actually made a good move with the reality show. Or is he next on Kitchen Nightmares.....
Well I'm just going to judge to show and not any preconceptions I had of Marc as I have never eaten his food. I thought the show was decent, I lost my mind watching the rookies making hilarious mistakes in the dining room. Very comical. I also became a fan of Marc, I want to sit and have a beer with the guy. He seems cooler than the average chef we see on TV.
I don't know if his wife is to his detriment, I certainly didn't get that from 45 minutes of T.V.
I think its kinda funny that you took her attitude to heart. I didn't even find her that bad, as far as reality T.V is concerned ,she is a kitten.
Don't forget his wife and her family bankrolled him enabling him to go out on his own after years of working for other people. If she's "obnoxious" what's he? He left the Fifth mainly due to his substance abuse problems. His erraticism (as showcased on that FN show abt him opening the King St place she payed for), probably accounts for Snarf's comments about pricing inconsistencies, not to mention the rather bizarre all over the map expansion plans. This is a guy who, according to Toronto Life, failed to pay child support. Now THAT'S obnoxious. The thesis of the "great man" undone by the evil shrew is a tired one. Like her or not, he wouldn't be where he is w/o her. Frankly, I find him pretty uncompelling like most of these yahoos on FN. Naaa, come to think of it, make "uncompelling" "unwatchable". The food however is beyond reproach.

"She has a newness," he said. "Everything is for the first time... If I had learned she had been born this very morning, I would only be surprised that she was so old."Subverting the old joke, this character really was born yesterday, or this week at least, either artificially aged or just plain made the age they are now. They tend not to understand slang, or much of anything else, and will misunderstand social rules with usually comic results. May also be the result of a person being born normally but kept in some kind of stasis and never being conscious during their development since they still awake as a 'new' person. Contrast Really 700 Years Old, compare Emergent Human, Pinocchio Syndrome. They're often prone to Blunt Metaphors Trauma as well. Can be coupled with Artificial Human if they were recently created. The extreme end of Younger than They Look. Pairs well with Born as an Adult. Note: Please be careful when adding robot examples as, broadly, they almost all count. As a general rule examples should be kept to those that act in a way that is very strongly reminiscent of the Trope description. Real Life examples may be added but should be related to medical conditions.

Antique BagpipesDescription: This auction is for a set of antique bagpipes. I purchased them at an estate sale. The note that was enclosed with them stated that they had been used in the Boers War which would date them to the late 1800s - early 1900s. The note also states that they have ivory parts. I have no way of verifying this. They are in an old wooden box. On the top of the box is a brass label that reads, "J W MacLeod. K.C. Mo". At the same sale I purchased a photo of J W MacLeod playing the bagpipes that is dated 1910, this verifies the time frame of the bagpipes. (If you are interested, the picture as well as an 1886 bagpipe songbook are also currently listed, please check my other listings)I know nothing about bagpipes, I do not know if all of the parts are present. I tried to take detailed photos. Please let me know if you have any questions Condition : The best I can tell, is they will need some repair. Again, please view photos and email any questions.

It takes a lot to accept yourself as you are and truly be happy with you. My advice to anyone who's struggling with this would be to give it time and try to notice all the great qualities you possess. There are always going to be things you don't like about yourself or reasons to compare yourself to others, but once you realize that you only get one you, it's best to just love yourself.

Latest WTO Internet Gambling Ruling Favors Antigua, Shows Effects of Harmful, Overreaching Trade Agreements on Domestic Policy
U.S. Ordered by WTO to Pay $21 Million in Compensation for U.S. Internet Gambling Laws
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The World Trade Organization (WTO) announcement today that the U.S. must pay $21 million in compensation for the U.S. ban on Internet gambling is the latest stark example of how U.S. trade agreements can undermine a wide array of domestic policies unrelated to trade, Public Citizen said today.
"Americans just got a harsh wake-up call about the price of 'trade' agreements and entities such as the WTO that require us to conform all of our domestic policies to hundreds of pages of rules unrelated to trade that were pushed by global corporations behind closed doors in 1994," said Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch division. "This ruling shows once again that the WTO's incredible overreach and interference with domestic policy is a serious threat to Democratic policy-making and national sovereignty."
Today's announcement that the U.S. must pay the Caribbean nation of Antigua to compensate for gambling revenue Antigua lost because of the U.S. Internet gambling ban is the latest step in a WTO challenge Antigua launched in 2003. In 2005, a WTO Appellate Body issued a final ruling against the U.S. that implicated wide swaths of U.S. gambling policy extending beyond the Internet gambling ban. Under WTO rules, a losing country must bring its policy into compliance with WTO rules by a set deadline or face trade sanctions. When the U.S. did not change its laws as ordered by the WTO, Antigua brought a compliance case. In March 2007, the U.S. lost that case, and Antigua was authorized to begin imposing sanctions. Antigua's lawyers raised the option of lifting Antiguan compliance with WTO copyright rules relating to U.S. music and software.
In May 2007, with growing threats from other WTO countries to use the expansive 2005 ruling to launch additional WTO challenges to additional U.S. gambling policies, the U.S. gave notice to the WTO that it sought to withdraw "gambling and betting services" from WTO jurisdiction. Under WTO rules, a country may withdraw a service sector committed to WTO jurisdiction only with the authorization of other WTO signatory countries interested in the sector and only after compensating for future lost revenue a WTO signatory country might have earned were the commitment maintained.
Today's compensation order is not the end of the matter; the U.S. is engaged in negotiations with the European Union, India, Costa Rica and Macao to determine how much it must pay them for withdrawing the gambling sector. These negotiations focus on what new service sectors the U.S. will submit to WTO jurisdiction in exchange for withdrawing gambling. However, the Bush administration needs congressional approval for any new sector to be submitted to WTO rules.
"Congress must demand a vote to authorize any expansion of U.S. WTO service sector commitments," said Wallach. "Especially after this case highlights the threats posed to U.S laws in service sectors under WTO jurisdiction, it would be unacceptable for the Bush administration to negotiate an expansion of U.S. WTO commitments."
The WTO Internet gambling case began in 2003 when Antigua challenged three long-standing, U.S. federal anti-racketeering statutes that in effect banned Internet gambling as cross-border trade barriers. Antigua's Internet gambling firms wanted continued access to the U.S. market for online gambling – worth an estimated $15.5 billion annually. Despite having one of the largest and most sophisticated negotiating teams, the U.S. claimed that it made a simple mistake when it first committed a sector called "other recreational services," which includes "gambling and betting services" to WTO jurisdiction under the rubric of Uruguay Round negotiations in the early 1990s. Once a service sector is committed to WTO General Agreement on Trade in Services rules, even non-trade-related policies in that sector can be challenged as violating the agreement's expansive rules.

However, each Public Citizen component will use only the funds contributed directly to it to carry out the activities it conducts as part of Public Citizen's mission. Only gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible. Individuals who want to join Public Citizen should make a contribution to Public Citizen, Inc., which will not be tax deductible.
