Got Yourself A Gun Lyrics - Nas
Review The Song (2)
[sample singing]
"Woke up this mornin', you got yourself a gun, you got yourself a gun"..
Yo I'm livin' in this time behind enemy lines
so I got mine, I hope you ("got yourself a gun")
You from the hood, I hope you ("got yourself a gun"
you want beef I hope ya ("got yourself a gun")
And when I see you I'ma take what I want
so you tried to front, hope ya ("got yourself a gun")
You ain't real, hope ya ("got yourself a gun")
[Verse 1]
My first album had no famous guest appearances
the outcome, I'm crowned the best lyricist
many years on this professional level
why would you question who's better?
the World is still mine, tattoos real
with "God's Son" across the belly, the boss of rap
you saw me in Belly with thoughts like that
to take it back to Africa, I did it with Biggie
Me and 2Pac were soldiers of the same struggle
You lames should huddle, your teams shook y'all feel
the wrath of a killer, 'cause this is my football field
Throwin' passes from a barrel, shoulder pads, apparel
but the Q.B. don't stand for no quarterback
every word is like a sawed-off blast
'cause y'all all soft and I'm the black hearse
that came to haul y'all ass in
it's for the hood by the corner store
many try, many die, come at Nas if you want a war.
[Verse 2]
I'm the N the A to the S-I-R
and If I wasn't I must've been Escobar
you know the kid got his chipped tooth fixed
Hair parted with a barbers preciseness
Bravehearted for life, it's -
the return of the Golden Child, son of a blues player
so who are you playa? y'all awaited the true savior
puffin' that tropical, cups of that Vodka too
Papi chu', tore up, wake up in a hospital
Throw up? never, 'member I do this through righteous steps
you Judists thought I was gone, so in light of my death
y'all been all happy go lucky, bunch of sambos
call me Gods Son, with my pants low
I don't die slow, put them rags up like Petey Pablo
this is Nasdaq though, in my Nascar with this Nas flow, reppin'
hit the record sto', never let me go, get my whole collection, yo
[Verse 3]
It's - the - return of the Prince, the boss
this is real hardcore, Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit's soft
sip criss, get chips, wrist gliss, I floss
stick shift look sick up in that boxsta Porsche
with the top cut off, rich kids go and cop the source
they don't know about the blocks I'm on
and everybody wanna know where the kid go, where he rest at?
where he shop at and dress at?
know he got dough, where does he live?
is he still in the bridge?
does he really know how ill that he is?
got all of y'all watchin' my moves
my watch and my jewels
hop in my coupe, dodge interviews like that
It's not only my jewels, ice anything, plenty chains
Look at my tennis shoes, I iced that
Who am I? the back twister, lingerie ripper
automatic leg spreader, quicker brain getter
keepin' it gangsta wit' ya

Imagine Halloween without the bewitching flavor (and truly monstrous crunch) of The World's Best Gourmet Popcorn™—what a chilling thought! Over the years, our iconic goody basket has become an All Hallows Eve gift-giving tradition, guaranteed to send shivers of delight down the spines of young and old alike. None can escape the spell cast by our seasonal assortment of Caramel Corn, Kettle Corn, Cinnamon Toast, Zebra® and Pumpkin Spice, for it's just too delicious to resist.
Or, click the Modify Assortment button to customize the flavors in this gift basket, below. (Price will vary depending on flavors selected.)
The mother lode of golden perfection! Buttery caramel so rich, the almonds have to be swirled in by hand. You'll taste the difference. Plus you get that incredible Popcornopolis crunch in every glorious bite!
There oughta be a law against things that taste this amazing. Rich and velvety, as only slow-cooking can create. Buttery? Yes. Crispy? Check. The most sublimely balanced blend of sweet, savory and nutty? Yes, yes, and YES!
Our award-winning recipe remains a closely guarded secret. But we CAN tell you that we use only pure cane sugar and real creamery butter. Even before you take your first bite, the ultra-rich aroma will blow your mind!
Rich, farm-fresh cheddar covers our World's Best Gourmet Popcorn™ like a golden blanket of deliciousness. Popcornopolis Cheddar Cheese Popcorn is intense, authentic, and habit-forming.
Popularized in the Midwest, we're not sure who first decided that mixing Cheddar Cheese and Caramel Corn together was a good idea, but give that person an award!
If you think back to the comforting flavor and aroma of grandma's freshly-baked cinnamon rolls, you MAY be able to imagine how good this popcorn is! Cinnamon Bun sets the stage for good-ol' nostalgia
The classic anytime snack that's guaranteed to make your day! Some folks have even been known to serve this over milk as a breakfast cereal!
It's party time! Here's the flavor to kick things off. You'll be amazed how we've captured the experience of enjoying a vanilla cupcake —complete with luxurious white frosting and festive colored sprinkles!
Holy jalapeño, this stuff has a kick! Our gameday winner scores a 10 on the Zing-o-Meter, courtesy of our hearty cheddar cheese and those tingly little bits of jalapeño chilli peppers. Wanna spice things up? Here's your corn.
As American as freedom, for more than 200 years, we've enjoyed this sweet and salty popcorn with its unforgettable crunch. But we'll bet you've never had kettle corn this good before.
If you've ever had a lemon bar from your local bakery, then you know the indescribably delicious flavor of rich creamy icing, tart aromatic lemon zest, and just the right balance of sweetness.
By popular demand! In a recent Facebook fan poll, we asked you for new flavor ideas. Peanut Butter n Chocolate was your overwhelming favorite. So after months of development, HERE IT IS!
There's nothing quite like a fresh-roasted Georgia pecan. Its deep, earthy flavor is what makes this classic combination such an all-time favorite. Now combine it with our delicious Caramel Corn...
And now for something really different! Try our new Pineapple Habanero popcorn... it's like a tropical vacation for your tastebuds! While you're tongue is enjoying the citrusy-pineapple top notes, the south-of-the-border habanero heat kicks in and makes things really interesting
Ah, the spicy mystique of an onion. It adds an alluring zest to everything it touches. But a sweet MAUI onion, well that's even better—definitely more aloha!
Big fluffy kernels popped to tender perfection and covered in exquisite white cheddar—hands-down delicious. Perhaps the most elegant cheese corn on the planet.
Still our reigning champion, Zebra is love at first bite! A sensuous and divinely compelling experience, with a taste that you'll dream of. Your pulse quickens, your knees go weak. Oh, yes. Zebra is THAT good.
We're about to change your thinking about one of your all-time favorite snacks. This isn't your grandparents' caramel corn. It's richer, sweeter, and bursting with so much buttery goodness that you'll feel an uncontrollable urge to lick your fingers after every handful. (No, it's not gooey, just insanely delicious.) You'll love it, love it, love it—right down to the last crunch. And because it's handcrafted with the finest all-natural ingredients, certified organic and gluten free, you'll love it even more. How's this bag looking now?
Against all odds, the geniuses in our Snack Kitchens have accomplished the nearly-impossible. They've taken one of the most decadent, insanely delicious snacks in the history of mankind, and made it organic.
Pumpkin pie lovers will rejoice over Pumpkin Spice, our world-famous caramel corn, dusted with an addictive blend of all-natural, freshly ground allspice and cinnamon, then generously drizzled with premium white confectioners chocolate.
We've done it again. We've redefined "insanely delicious!" This is truly a pairing of flavors that has it all: simultaneously sweet, tart and savory.

The pilot reported that the glider was stored disassembled on a trailer. Upon arrival at the gliderport, he proceeded to reassemble the glider. He assembled the wings first, and then connected the aileron push rods, which are secured with ball lock safety pins. The pilot stated that he then inserted the pins in the left and right aileron push rod attach fittings and moved the control stick to check that the ailerons were properly engaged. No further discrepancies were noted with the reassembly of the glider or the preflight inspection. The pilot reported that the first takeoff was aborted due to a lack of directional control, which at the time he attributed to dust devils in the vicinity. On the second takeoff and initial climbout no discrepancies were noted until he reached 100 feet agl, when the pilot had difficulty maintaining straight and level flight. As the tow plane made a turn to the left, the glider turned to the right. The pilot released the glider from the tow plane and applied full left rudder and left aileron to stop the roll. The pilot stated that the glider maintained a 10-degree right wing down configuration. Upon touchdown the right wing collided with a brush and the glider ground looped. The glider was inspected after the accident and it was noted that the right aileron attach pin was inserted into the female part of the junction, but not through the ball joint of the aileron push rod. The push rod would have been lying in the fitting, but would not have been engaged. The pilot further attributed the lack of directional control on the first attempted takeoff to a lack of aileron control that he did not recognize at the time. No further discrepancies were noted with the glider.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Presto: Facebook reveals exabyte-scale query engine
Facebook has revealed a query engine for data warehouses that blows the doors off Hive, and plans to publish it as open source this year. The "Presto" technology is a query execution engine built for Facebook's vast data warehouse. It was announced on Thursday at a data analytics conference hosted at Facebook's HQ in Menlo Park …
Yah, <strike>NSA</strike>Facebook, tell us another
NSAFacebook, tell us another - we know where you got the data-mining algorithm from.
Technologically very cool
But please don't try to make "FB scale" some sort of metric.
That's one immense database
And I wouldn't like to be managing it on the day something goes a bit pear shaped
Re: That's one immense database
Could not read disk. Abort, Retry, Fail?
To the tape library!
Maybe they can offer up some of this superscale search to it's users?
I know an FB friend posted something about a poet named Robert a while back, can I find the post in question?, can I buggery.
Agreed, I'd love to have a way to
victim girlfriend for her routine lifestyle and vulnerabilities things we'd enjoy together.
The urban camo trenchcoat with the chloroform in the pocket, ta.
re: "post searching"
That's what first got me into apps development. You can easily make an "SQL-like" query to your user-id to pull out (say) all posts. Then a simple 'grep' on the data, assuming you don't need to automate it.
posts/links/videos/photos/comments/status-updates etc.etc. all have their own table you can query. It's such a basic function I am surprised it isn't wrapped into a user-search feature as standard..
It's not about the cat photos...
It is about who looked at who's cat photos.
You know, like who has made a call from a phone number to another phone number that is associated with another person. For instance, imagine that the US government secretly gathered the records from phone companies about all the phone calls that were made. Sure, that's far fetched, but hypothetically....
So the famous Opera connection...
...was just Facebook buying the "Presto" NAME?
local queries?
I would be interested to know what kind of global queries presto can answser and what or for whom their relevance is.
It seems to me most of the interesting queries will be on super small dataset (e.g. a user's dataset or a user's group dataset) except perhaps for advertising datamining although even here cat's videos and photos won't be taken into account (as long as major new photo/video search technology/indexing) which should take care of most of the 250PB.
Back to the Future?
Has somebody been time-tripping back to the eighties to get the "news" angle on this announcement, the only difference is Exadata instead of Teradata (and that is news about disk capacity not software innovation).
It's good that facebook is going to open-source its SQL-engine because the competition will drive down the cost of real SQL-engines, and after a few upgrades it might be good enough for "Tesco Scale" (One RFID tag that tracks a fresh lump of meat back to the abattoir is worth a million photos of spotty teenagers).
"facebook scale" is more like land-fill garbage dump scale.. breath-taking in scale, but few would cry if they just disappeared.
So much data, so little worth
What a titanic waste of resources.

The Structural Economic Expansion in Detroit (SEED) mass transit system is an easily expandable, two-level, elevated mag-lev system meant to connect Detroit with the surrounding economies in Pontiac and Ann Arbor. The system was designed to revitalize the city of Detroit, reduce urban sprawl and create tightly organized communities around the transit stops.
Energy Seed is a collection bin for batteries that uses leftover power to light the attached LED streetlamps. The design's aesthetic takes its cue from a flowering plant. When people deposit their batteries, it is akin to planting a seed that later, when it's dark, turns into a flower. It also encourages people to discard their batteries in a responsible manner.
"Energy Seed is a beautiful idea which really opens the public's eyes to the pollution discarded batteries can cause if they're not fully recycled."
--Rosario Costa, creative director, LEGO System A/S (Denmark)

Project Cooper was a large-scale synthesis of an extensive amount of research looking to document US and European thyroid surgeons in action. Market research was used to learn what surgeons wanted; ethnographic research to learn how thyroid procedures are performed and identify tacit needs; preference testing evaluated concepts and identified opportunities for improvement, and usability testing validated product usability to meet FDA requirements.
The Colorblind project explored consumers' feelings about all things green and sustainable. Through in-depth in-home interviews and a partnership with an online research firm, the project tapped into the minds of 2,000 consumers to see what role sustainability and green ideology play in their lives, tracing how they impact everyday decisions.

Teneo® is a storage system for everything that doesn't fit on your computer: books, papers, files, other technology devices, personal items. The system's 20 parts can be combined to make more than 80 products, including credenzas, easels, lecterns, book and project carts and supply islands.
"Outstanding! Teneo starts with deep user understanding and design thinking, incorporates strong environmental benefits, and is finished off with a simple, inviting aesthetic. Add a smart modular design where 20 parts can create over 80 products, and this is a winner."
The Pathway System is a minimally invasive medical system used to remove plaque from peripheral arteries. The adjustable diameter cutting tip rotates up to 60,000 rpm to remove plaque without causing trauma to arterial walls. A proprietary process is used to irrigate the blockage with saline and remove the plaque from arteries without allowing particulates to enter the bloodstream.


text: On August 6, 1993, at approximately 1300 mountain daylight time, a Cessna 172RG, N9633B, was destroyed when it collided with trees and the terrain while maneuvering in a mountain pass near Salida, Colorado. The airplane, owned and operated by the private pilot, was on a personal cross country flight. There was no flight plan filed and visual meteorological conditions prevailed throughout the area. The pilot and the two passengers received serious injuries.The flight had departed Garden City, Kansas, at about 1030 central daylight time, en route to a planned fuel stop in Gunnison, Colorado. The pilot stated that the flight was routine as he entered the pass west of Pueblo, Colorado, and began climbing as he followed the highway. He said that the climb continued to about 10,500 feet MSL, at which point he had Monarch Pass in sight on the horizon. The pilot stated that he then decided to make a right 360 degree turn to gain additional altitude. Ground witnesses, working at a ski resort located under the airplane's flight path, stated they observed the airplane enter a right turn into rising terrain and trees. They subsequently heard the airplane impact trees and then the ground and proceeded to the crash site to offer assistance. The witnesses, as well as the pilot stated that the engine sounded normal and appeared to be developing power. Neither the pilot nor either of the passengers recalled any of the accident sequence after the pilot started the turn. The ski resort's weather station, located at the 10,850 foot level recorded the temperature as being 65 degrees fahrenheit at 1245 MDT. The density altitude would have been 14,300 feet MSL. The reported service ceiling for the airplane was 16,800 feet. Maps of the accident site indicated that a left turn would have taken the airplane toward descending terrain.

Howdy folks! Boy, it's been a lot of fun digging down in the Tent City Mines this week. With the holiday season upon us, I excavated a few gems from the Archives that are sure to keep you and your loved ones warm and toasty in good old fashioned, made in USA treasures.
This is by far the oldest product I've ever offered on CWAC, and it's a treat to get to share them with you. The "Trigger Finger, OG-108″ 100% Wool Mitten Insert was made during World War II for use by infantrymen in cold climates. It is a nice, medium-weight wool mitten liner, but with a separate index finger for shooting. They were originally issued individually, and are all identical (there is no left or right). Each one comes with its original guide for use on a very yellowed slip of paper. You'll have to buy a pair to see the almost 70 year old instructions, but I'll tease you with this tidbit, "Dirty Inserts are cold." These sniper mitts are great daily use hand wear in the winter months, and will be a fun piece of history for you to own. They run pretty big, like a men's large, but still look good even when floppy. $15 a pair.
Now onto the newest idea for an old item. We've been sitting on these Fox River Xstatic gloves for at least 15 years, if not 20, when we decided to pull them out onto the floor again- we've been having pretty good luck with the old stuff recently. A train conductor bought a pair, and came back several hours later. He was excited to share with us that the glove liners, which use a silver coated thread, worked with his iPhone. He joked that he hadn't been able to stop texting all day. Similar gloves are "new" to the market now, but these old goodies were made in Osage, Iowa and will only set you back $10 a pair, and they work just fine with touch screens, guaranteed.
This Navajo Blanket Lined Carhartt denim Chore Coat is an icon. Built tough from washed dark dyed denim, and lined completely, including sleeves, in a retro Navajo inspired print, this classic Chore Coat was made in America in the late 80's- early 90's by Union Labor, and is available in size Medium only (fits like a size 40). $99.
I don't have the slightest clue how we ended up with these fine medium wale corduroy pants from Brooks Brothers, or how old they are. Or, why after all these years, the tags are still on them. I'm guessing they are mid-nineties vintage, but who knows. They are made in the USA, and have a luxurious hand that would pair well with a Chamois shirt. They have a plain front, and come in a 30″ waist with a very long inseam that is intended to be hemmed. Available in Dark Navy and Taupe as well. $49.
And speaking of chamois shirts, these Woodsman Extra Heavyweight Chamois Shirts are probably the finest quality shirts at Hilton's Tent City, deadstock or otherwise. They are whipstitched throughout, and use the stoutest of all the 100% cotton chamois shirts I've found. I can't find anything about the company's history, but based on where I found them, how they were made, and where they were made, it's safe bet to say these were made in the late 70's to early 80's. The fit is generous. Kelly Green and Cream Yellow available in size medium only. "Made in U.S.A. by American Labor." $40.
These Chippewa Gumsole Pac Boots look suspiciously like the ubiquitous Bean boot, but are a bit more beefed up, and, they have a removable felt liner. Made in Missouri in the 1980's, these 12″ boots feature thick leather uppers with brass hardware, and thick, duck bill rubber bottoms. Great for winter excursions in deep snow and ice. Available in size 12 and 13, $99.
The best knee high, rag wool socks money can buy have been made to the same chunky specifications by Wigwam Mills in Sheboygan, Wisconsin since the turn of the last century. These socks are so incredibly thick and warm, they almost make your feet too toasty! They are made of "Ragg Stretch" material, which is 80% Wool, 18% Nylon, and 2% Spandex. They fit men's shoe sizes 9-12, and are the perfect sock for the Chippewas listed above, or any other over-sized, winter footwear. Made in the 1980's. $10 a pair.
Well, that's all for now, folks. As always, I really appreciate all your interest and support, and hope to hear from you soon. If you like any of these oldies, you can email me or give us a call at the store at (800) 362-8368 to place an order. You can also follow me on Tumblr or Twitter to stay up to date on my latest Tent City finds. Happy Holidays!

In September, Proposition 37 seemed a shoe in with 61 percent of voters supporting the initiative to label genetically engineered foods in California. However, just one month later, a Los Angeles Times poll released yesterday showed that 44 percent of surveyed voters backed Prop 37, while 42 percent opposed it. Some 14 percent remains undecided.
A likely reason why: The opposition (read: Monsanto Company, DuPont and the Grocery Manufacturers Association among others) has pumped $41 million into negative television advertisements, reports the LA Times.
In a media call yesterday, some of the top natural food leaders gathered to "correct the record," as moderator Ken Cook said, about the opposition's claims. Namely, the accusations that Prop 37 will lead to lawsuits and higher food costs for consumers.
On the call were:
- -Ken Cook, president of Environmental Working Group and call moderator
- -Michael Funk, Chairman and Co-Founder, UNFI
- -Andy Berliner, CEO, Amy's Kitchen of Petaluma, Calif.
- -Arran Stephens, CEO, Nature's Path Foods
- -David Lannon, Executive Vice President for Operations, Whole Foods Market, (representing 65 Calif. stores)
- -Jimbo Someck, CEO, Jimbo's Naturally (4 Southern California Locations)
- -Steven Hoffman, Managing Partner, Compass Natural Marketing
The "statistical dead heat" had the leaders fired up yet, in true David and Goliath style, confident that the Yes side will win. Several expressed hope that Prop 37 would take the same route that organic did 30 years ago when the organic label was passed in California-now a nationwide regulated label.

UF holds on for 68-61 win over Auburn
Back for the first time in two games, 7th ranked Florida needed all of Casey Prather's team-high 21 points to hold on for the 68-61 win at Auburn.
Prather had 16 points in the first half after missing the past two games with a badly bruised right knee. He made 8 of 10 shots for the Gators (15-2, 4-0 Southeastern Conference), who have won nine straight games and eight in a row at Auburn (8-7, 0-4).
Tahj Shamsid-Deen hit a jump shot with 1:59 left to cut Florida's lead to 62-61, but Scottie Wilbekin answered with a fadeaway jumper. Wilbekin made 2 of 4 free throws over the final 48 seconds.
Patric Young blocked KT Harrell's attempt to bring Auburn to within two points in between those trips to the line.
Wilbekin finished with 16 points. Chris Denson led Auburn with 21.

Originally published in the May 30, 2013 issue of the Pacific Union College Campus Chronicle.
If you think it's ridiculous, that makes you right. Forty-one percent of PUC students responding to a survey asking whether condoms protect against sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy in a PUC freshmen-level class this quarter said no.
The fact that so many students in a freshmen-level class held such erroneous notions of reproductive health should not be all that surprising. PUC draws a substantial portion of our student body from small, parochial high schools that sometimes fail to teach their students basic reproductive health care information.
Granted, this is only one freshmen-level class, so this might not necessarily be reflective of the entire PUC population.
But that doesn't make it any less dangerous. So allow us set the record straight on condoms.
According to an article in The New York Times, "Condoms are 98 percent effective for preventing pregnancy if used from start to finish every time you have sex."
Heather Boonstra, an official with the Alan Guttmacher Institute, which researches reproductive health issues, agrees. She is quoted telling NBC News that although "they do not provide 100 percent protection for people who are sexually active they are the best and the only method we have for preventing these diseases."
But everyone wants a second opinion, and what better than an authorative answer to your question texted to you? So we texted "53632," Planned Parenthood's free and confidential reproductive health question service, and asked how effective condoms were. Their answer:
"The only method that is able to prevent both pregnancy, HIV and most STDs with high effectiveness is a condom. It can be used for oral, vaginal or anal intercourse. A perfect user is someone that uses a condom every time and correctly, and it is effective in preventing pregnancy 98 percent of the time. With condom use, a typical user is someone who uses a condom some of the time and not always correctly, and it is effective in preventing pregnancy 82 percent of the time."
So there you go: if you're not going to stay abstinent, condoms are a fundamental method of protection that you should use. Better yet, they are available for purchase at the College Market or free at Planned Parenthood in Napa.
So be sure to be protected when abstinence fails.

The Humber Housing Partnership has produced a sub regional housing strategy which is currently out for consultation until the end of November. The partnership comprises the four local authorities (East Riding of Yorkshire, Hull, North and North East Lincolnshire ), Housing Associations, Gateway Pathfinder, Private Sector, Humber and Wolds Rural Community Council and representatives from a number of regional bodies .
The Strategy, which runs from 2009 – 2019, sets out a framework for housing investment in the Humber. The strategy is very closely linked to other investment plans relating to economic development, planning and transport. The overarching vision for housing in the Humber is that there should be more balanced housing markets where local residents have access to a wide range of high quality affordable homes with related support contributing to the overall economic prosperity of the area. To achieve this it sets three strategic priorities:
Creating more balanced housing markets;
Providing high quality homes and;
Meeting diverse housing needs.
Key areas of activity in East Riding over the period of the strategy wiill include the need to build more houses in sustainable locations and to ensure in particular that more of these are genuinely affordable. The strategy will also promote further housing led regeneration in parts of Goole and subsequently in parts of both Bridlington and Withernsea. There will be a focus on improving the quality of existing housing and in particular where this improves living conditions for more vulnerable households. Key to this will be the need to tackle fuel poverty through interventions such as new central heating systems and other energy efficiency measures.
If you are interested in finding out more about what the strategy says, you can view a copy on the Humber Economic Partnership website (www.humberep.co.uk). There will also be a questionairre available on this site which can be used to provide any views. These should then be sent to email@example.com by Monday 30th November.

Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time Readers Poll: Round 2 — "Floods" (Dimebag Darrell) Vs. "No More Tears" (Zakk Wylde)
July 20, 2013 at 2:48am
Solos with a slide intro as the Jake E Lee pulls out on Waiting for Darkness does the same for me. The slide is used by Mick Mars quiet often. It does its job. The slide should be kept in the recording part of guitar solos. Unless you're from Foghat, Dime sound seems more developed and his guitar fretboard work is always loud and clear. Dime to me became the next level of guitarist right after Zack. He seemed more polished than Zack also. There is a void in the fretboard of guitarist. I haven't seen or heard of the next young wizard. I am hoping its John5.
July 20, 2013 at 2:38am
In all seriousness this poll is just a pop poll, meaning in each circle of the genre they're pretty much the most popular songs.. I mean where's the father of Jazz/rock fusion Mr Larry Coryell himself...Peter Green 'The supernatural'... beats fucking hotel california or Layla, OBSCURE lmao!!
July 19, 2013 at 11:30pm
neither of these guys does a thing for me.
July 19, 2013 at 7:59pm
Zak wylde put this on his facebook and that other shitty band he was ins page. What a poser.

July 19, 2013 at 2:21pm
Arghhhh. This is the type of match up you want to see but don't want to vote on. I love both of these players and are/were the best live players I have ever seen.
I actually do not like the song Floods, but the solo on it is awesome. Dime does all of the stuff that made him what he is. But its a little tarnished by the fact that I don't think overall its a good piece.
No More Tears' solo is completely fluid. It lacks Zach's signature pinch harmonic, but it is perfect for the song. I have to go with this one.
July 19, 2013 at 12:30pm
This one was the closest yet, for me.
Both of these guys can shred, although these are definitely NOT the best examples of their talents.
I guess what tipped it, for me, was that No More Tears is a song I'd have on a playlist, where I felt I hard to force myself to listen to all of Floods to get to the solo.

When smokers kick the habit, odds are they are not alone in making the move. Instead, the decision to quit smoking often cascades through social networks, with entire clusters of spouses, friends, siblings and co-workers giving up the habit roughly in tandem, according to a new study supported in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Researchers analyzing changes in smoking behavior over the past three decades within a large social network found smokers quit in groups and not as isolated individuals. Those who continued to smoke also formed clusters that, over time, shifted from the center of the social network, where social connections are more numerous, to the periphery of the group.
The report, appearing in the May 22, 2008, New England Journal of Medicine and funded primarily by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the NIH, could play a role in developing clinical and public health interventions to reduce and prevent smoking. The smoking analysis was also supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Researchers Nicholas A. Christakis, M.D., Ph.D., of Harvard Medical School, and James Fowler, Ph.D., of the University of California, San Diego, based their analysis on a social network of 12,067 people participating in the Framingham Heart Study (FHS). The FHS, a community-based study sponsored for 60 years by the NIH's National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), collects comprehensive measures of cardiovascular health and risk factors among three generations of participants who are connected as family, friends and co-workers. Christakis and Fowler analyzed data collected on the network's smoking behaviors between 1971 and 2003. The group ranged in age from 21 to 70; individuals smoking one or more cigarettes a day were deemed smokers.
The researchers found that smoking rates among the FHS participants mirrored the national downward trend of the past three decades. In 1971, there were many more smokers and they tended to mix equally with nonsmokers. But by 2000, along with a drop in smoking rates, there was also a change in their social lives. Smokers and nonsmokers tended to form separate clusters, and gradually, the smokers were marginalized on the fringes of the social network.
"While smoking has declined significantly over the past 30 years in America, it remains a leading cause of preventable death," said NIA Director Richard J. Hodes, M.D. "This study tells us that social relationships have a critical impact on health behaviors and decisions, and that people are strongly influenced by those in their social sphere."
The researchers found the closer the relationship between contacts, the greater the influence when one person quit smoking. For example:
"Interestingly, geography did not appear to play a role because smoking behaviors spread between contacts living miles apart and in separate households," said Christakis. "Rather, the closeness of the relationship in the network was key to the spread of smoking behaviors."
Fowler and Christakis also found specific patterns in the spread of behaviors. For example, the higher the educational levels among the contacts, the greater the influence on smoking behavior. Among friends who both had at least one year of college, a decision by one friend to quit smoking decreased the chance of the other smoking by 61 percent. However, no such influence was found in pairs of friends with a high school education or less. The more highly educated smokers also appeared to pay a greater social price for smoking, as reflected in the fact that they became less central to the network than did the less educated.
"This study has an essential public health message—that no one is an island—our health is partially determined by our social networks and those around us," said Richard Suzman, Ph.D., director of the NIA's Division of Behavioral and Social Research. "The decision to quit smoking cascaded throughout the web, indicating that some form of collective decision-making was taking place. The results suggest new and probably more powerful approaches to changing health behaviors, such as smoking, by careful targeting of small peer groups as well as single individuals."
Christakis and Fowler have previously studied the effect of social networks on the spread of obesity. To learn more about this research, visit http://www.nia.nih.gov/newsroom/2007/07/new-nih-supported-study-characterizes-social-networks-family-friends-influencing.

The Abbeville City Council fires a pair of police officers even though Chief Tony Hardy suggested suspensions.
After more than three-hours of discussion in executive session, council moved to terminate the pair of Abbeville Officers for violating department policies.
Officers Rusty Meaux and Isiah Rochon were the two relieved from duty.
Meaux allegedly conducted a warantless search of a residence on November 1st and council found Rochon guilty of not using police video and audio surveillance- a violation of Chief Hardy's policies.
Two other officers have been placed on suspension for similar reasons.
Council cited its reason for Meaux's and Rochon's terminations as "second offenses."
Mayor Mark Piazza says while council decided these officers' employment, it's a police matter.
Chief Hardy is not commenting on these actions and would not release what led up to these findings.

"Maine. Antiques. August. Maggie Summer, owner of the antique print business Shadows, is thrilled when her old college roommate, Amy Douglas, invites -- almost begs -- her to come to the coast of Maine to see her new house. August is the perfect time for antiquing and, as it turns out, for murder. Amy and Drew Douglas have just bought a creaky but gorgeous eighteenth-century house in the little town of Madoc. Built in 1774, the house sits high on a hill overlooking the river. The house is great, but not the neighbors, who seem to think that the property should never have been put up for sale. Until now, it's always belonged to one formidable Maine family. Amy and Drew are New Yorkers. What are they doing here, where they don't belong? Hostile neighbors are just the start of their problems. Who is behind a series of strange fires and bizarre accidents? Where is the baby that Amy hears crying in the night, and why do she and Drew want so obsessively to have a child of their own? And what is the relationship between Drew and an attractive teenager named Crystal? As Maggie searches for answers, she runs into fellow antiques dealer Will Brewer, a man with whom she once hoped for a romantic future. But can she trust him now?"

Antiques dealer Elizabeth Hayes is anxious to purchase the old Victorian mansion, Chalmers house, to preserve it and expand her own business. However, the man who inherited the building, Zachary Chalmers, would rather tear it down. Despite their differences, they find themselves growing closer and closer.
"The secret? Irrefutable proof of a female Messiah named Sophia. Born in the Holy Land in A.D. 310, Sophia was known for performing healing miracles. Her divinity so threatened early Christian dogma on the inferiority of women that she was executed while still a girl by church authorities.
"In the present, Zoe Ridgeway, and art broker, visits Switzerland with her husband, Seth, where she expects to purchase the estate of a German art collector. But before Zoe can complete the transaction, she and Seth are drawn into a thousand-year-old web of conspiracy, murder, and intrigue that begins and eds with the mystery of Sophia--and all the powerful forces who seek to protect their patriarchies from a divinely feminine truth."
Charleston antiques dealer/amateur sleuth Abigail Timberlake Washburn reluctantly attends a seance at her friend C.J.'s newly-bought fixer-upper. When the psychic who conducts the seance is forced to the other side prematurely, Abby leaps into action.
Rei Shimura, a twentysomething part-California girl, part-Japanese antiques dealer, can't quite find her place in Tokyo society. Lately Rei's love life has fallen off the radar screen, and despite all her efforts, her new business isn't doing much better.
At her aunt's insistence, Rei enrolls in a course in ikebana, the famous Japanese art of flower arranging. Little does she realize what a cutthroat class it will be; she's hardly completed a lesson before her instructor is murdered. Rei is ready to track down the killer, but suddenly the case hits close to home. She and her aunt are battered by waves of police questioning, press attention, and mysterious warnings. Skeletons are rattling in her family's closet, and Rei must open the door to a dangerous secret.
Rei's in for the excitement she's been missing as her search for the truth takes her through twisting new corridors of intrigue, romance, and murder. It's up to Rei, the black sheep, to keep her family name clear-and her own life safe-from an enemy with an unknown agenda.
"Art historian Vicky Bliss may be blond and beautiful, but looks can be deceiving. She also has the brain of an Einstein, the reckless courage of a test pilot--and no one's more savvy about fine works of art. For example: the gold pendant her boss at Munich's National Museum is currently dangling in front of her. It's an exquisite replica of a Charlemagne talisman--and it was found, along with a note written in hieroglyphs, sewn into the suit pocket of an unidentified man lying dead in an alley.
"There's a murderous puzzle to unravel-and Vicky will start by hunting down the master craftsperson who created the magnificent piece, even if the search carries her to the ends of the Earth. Instead, it's pointing her toward Rome, the most romantic city in the world. But it's also pulling her into a treacherous game of intrigue where the stakes could not be higher: Vicky's life!"

St. Louis Oriental Market?
- Velma Jan 23, 2007 02:29 PM
A friend at work today said she recently shopped at a large Oriental market in St. Louis that is in a big converted grocery store. She didn't drive so she has no clue what part of St. Louis they were in. I know St. Louis covers a lot of ground but does this by any chance sound familiar to anybody?
Could be the World Market on Kirkwood/Lindbergh Boulevard. Owned by a Thai family. Just north of the railroad tracks in downtown Kirkwood. Or it could be the market on Olive, I don't know the english name but it is east of the inner belt about a couple of miles. That place is bigger than the World Market and they have fresh seafood and fresh meats. I think it is the most complete Asian grocery store in town.
I think you may be thinking of Global Market. It's in Kirkwood really close to I-44. ( World Market is a chain, also known as CostPlus.) The Global Market people also own Jay International on South Grand, I believe. Both stores are just wonderful. I
Both Jay's (on South Grand) and World Foods are multiethnic and carry a much wider array of foods than just Oriental. I believe you are looking for the Oriental Seafood Market. In any case, it is located at about 7900 Olive Street Road, on the North side, in University City, about a mile and a half West of I-170. The Olive exit on 170 is currently under reconstruction. All three places are worth the trip just to check out, and all seem to be frequented by the local restaurants.
re: unclejoe
I believe 7900 Olive would put you East of 170, and by my calculations, at North & South Rd., across from Wei Hong.
In addition to the one unclejoe's mentions on Olive (which I have a feeling he's right) there's a smaller one a little further east on Olive as well, though I'm not sure what it's called. I've been to both and the larger (further west) one is cleaner and has more variety but the smaller one has more personality and seemed to have more fresh (still alive)seafood.
re: DavesCheapEats
Its not the same owner. The one further east is across the street from Wei Hong Restaurant. They were the big seafood purveyor for the Chinese community before the Asian Market opened. It does have some interesting stuff, like live turtles and frogs.
There's one that's a converted grocery store on Olive about 1/2 mile West of the Olive/North&South cross street. It is very large and also carries a lot of fresh seafood. The seafood one mentioned above is right at the corner of Olive/North & South.
Also, I believe Jay International Foods started out an Asian market only and blossomed into a multi-ethnic market. My long term high school/college girlfriend was Korean and we used to go there with her mom before they moved into their current (converted grocery store) space.
World Foods is worth going to by the way....I can spend hours in there.
re: bobzemuda
I am not trying to be argumentative, just trying to keep all these locations straight in my mind, and figure out if I am missing any!
Global Foods is in Kirkwood, just north of downtown, on Kirkwood Rd. (known otherwise as So. Lindbergh).
World Market is the big chain, a/k/a as Cost-Plus World Market.
Is there a World Foods, or were you referring to one of these two places?
Thanks for your patience, p.j.
Jay is great for all kinds of things, but I really like the Olive shops better. More variety; you can get roast duck and cha siu (I'm Cantonese, so that's how I spell it) at the BBQ place, dim sum at LuLus, bakery at Wei Hong. I like the big converted grocery also, but our long time fave has been Din Ho, which is up there near Chinese BBQ and LuLu. If I'm not mistaken, there is also Central Trading (may have name wrong) up there next to Wei Hong. Oh, btw, we have to drive 2 hours to get there, so believe me, we consider carefully where we end up!!
re: k_d
My mom adores Din Ho. She figured out, from the stuff the store carries, that Din Ho caters more to a Taiwanese taste, Central Trading caters more to a Cantonese taste. Asian Market tries to cater across nationalities.
By the way, Wei Hong has moved further east, they are a restaurant now with a side bakery business, they bought an old movie theater and turned it into a restaurant. The do dim sum but mostly they do larger banquets.
She did finally recall the flags over the aisles and told me that her Aunt lives in Kirkwood so she apparently was wrong about it being just Oriental. However, I'm so glad for all the responses on this because I didn't even know that all of these places existed in St. Louis. It is a two hour drive for us too so I'm going to fit in as many as I can in one day. What a chore!! You all have been very VERY helpful chowhounds-thanks much:)
Biggest (and my favorite) is Chinese Farmers Market at Olive & 81st. Further east, almost to N&S, is Seafood City, Viet seafood market. Both on south side of the street. Further west are ABC Trading, Din Ho, and near I170 is East East (Korean). Dragon Trading is a restaurant supply house on Woodson between Olive and Page. North of Page on Woodson there's Wing Hing Trading.
Grandbodia (S Grand) has Jay (Thai) a number of Viet grocers, and an Afghan market.
Thanks to rexmo for the summary, and mea culpa for positioning places east of 170 rather than west; however, Seafood City is at 7733 Olive on the north side. The other places I was referring to are on the north side of Olive, too. (Manila?), near 81st Street.
Jay's is like, and in fact, is a local market for a very multiethnic neighborhood which includes a variety of restaurants. It is considerably smaller in physical size than Global foods, for instance, which is very nice is you have any trouble getting around. A visitor can shop there and eat at one of many many restaurant within a 2 (short) block radius.
Global Foods is a much larger version of Jay's with much more prepackaged fresh meat and other supermarket like items: I also think it is a tad more expensive than Jay's.
The Olive Street Road enclave is of course the home of many restaurants, too, but it is much more difficult to walk between them, and they are almost all Oriental.
If I were visiting, I would visit Jay's and then visit the fairly nearby Hill to pick up Italian groceries, I would hit Global Foods last, because if there is anything you missed or have not found by then, they should have it. Jay's, the Hill, and Global are all easily accessible from I-44.
The Olive location is essentially our local China Town, and if that is your desire, it stands alone here.
Jay's is an urban market - the others are much more suburban.

Syosset's Blumenfeld Development Group (BDG), headed by Ed Blumenfeld, has proposed a $200 million design to demolish Nassau Coliseum and build a new arena and state-of-the-art exhibition center for the 21st century.
"The existing facility cannot be effectively retrofitted," said Brad Blumenfeld, BDG Vice President, adding "Our team is committed to building a new, preeminent facility—other proposals only call for renovations to the existing arena."
Ed Blumenfeld notes, "We know what we're doing—we think of Nassau and its residents as premiere, first class and not business class," indicating that this sets their proposal apart from others. He adds, "The glaring difference with our proposal is this would be our highest priority, as opposed to taking the overflow from Madison Square Garden and the Barclay's Center back into Nassau County."
The proposal would allow for a minor league hockey team, big-10 college basketball, hockey games, a parking structure with 2,500 spaces, field parking, and preferred and priority parking.
BDG has joined with SMG Worldwide Entertainment and Convention Venue Management and the University of Michigan's Mark Rosentraub in developing and submitting their proposal.
A panel of business leaders will advise Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano in selecting the winning bidder.
Competition for the winning bid is Madison Square Garden Company's $250 million proposal for a 14,500 seat arena; Brooklyn Barclay's Center Bruce Ratner's, $229 million proposal for a 13,00 seat arena, and Bayville based Bernard Shereck's $60 to $90 million proposal with up to 10,000 seats.
According to the BDG site plan, construction of the new arena will take an estimated three years, and allow continued activity in the existing arena during its construction. Upon completion, the former arena will be demolished.
BDG's proposal is privately financed and according to their conceptual plan: "maximizes the sites potential and increases tax revenues." If selected, BDG estimates an economic impact of up to $20 million in annual sales tax revenue, without new taxpayer funding.
"We acknowledge that a stand-alone arena is not economically viable," Ed Blumenfeld said. "Our plan is to create a new iconic facility that will stand alone as the symbol of Nassau County." It will include a central destination with a multi-faceted shopping, recreation, office and residential experience, [which] will activate a vibrant 24- hour community." A town center with an array of retail, restaurants and entertainment options would also be constructed.
The new arena would house an estimated 10,000 seats, configured to accommodate future expansion, and the design would be a new muti-use/multi-purpose facility. The proposed exhibition center would be above ground, compared to the current below ground site, and will be an estimated 100,000 square feet.
"This Arena would be a world class facility of a caliber that will accommodate any professional sports franchise and satisfy the needs of today's entertainment acts," Ed Blumenfeld said.
Part of the plan is to also capitalize on local sites, such as Hofstra University, Nassau Community College, Museum Row and Mitchel Field, complying with Mitchel Field zoning to facilitate the approval process, and if approved, including a bridge or crosswalk to link Hofstra's campus to the arena parking lot.
"We want to mix the life of students in with the life of this venue," Ed Blumenfeld noted.
Raffaela Petrasek, BDG Development Associate agreed, recognizing that there is "no downtown gathering place" at Hofstra currently.
Ed Blumenfeld has commented that Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz "is in favor of our proposal."
BDG has worked on numerous properties across Long Island, including Life Time Athletic in Syosset, The Arches in Deer Park, LA Fitness and BJ's in Farmingdale and Commack Retail Center.
Mark Rosentraub, a professor of Sports Management at the University of Michigan, School of Kinesiology, with over 30 years of experience, is a national expert on measuring the economic benefit from public facilities and related real estate for local and regional economies and local government revenues. His past projects include sports entertainment districts for the San Diego Padres, Greenbay Packers, NY Mets, Detroit Pistons and Indianapolis Colts.
Ed Blumenfeld regards Rosentraub as a "premiere municipal advisor," and said: "Nassau County has never hired anyone with expertise in this kind of venue development, so we did."
SMG, founded in 1977, has an estimated $547 million in assets and manages 233 facilities worldwide, including 71 arenas, 70 convention centers, 60 theaters, nine stadiums and 23 specific-use venues.

The prepositions om, door, na, alvorens, in plaats van, and zonder? can mark the beginning of a short subclause. If they do, the subclause always contains a "te + infinitive" construction. You can read more about this under short subclauses?.
'Om' means 'in order to' or 'for'. It receives special attention here because there are a few verbs where we can omit 'om'. Instead of "Ik probeer om te slapen" (I try to sleep), we can also say "Ik probeer te slapen" (again: I try to sleep). 'Proberen' now looks like an 'infinitive + te' verb but it really is a an om-construction in disguise.
The disguised om-verbs are listed below. They all have something to do with a wish, desire, or command. Note that you can only omit 'om' when it is preceded by one of the verbs in the list below.
(*) Beloven and wensen are also 'dat verbs'?. (**) 'Vragen' is mentioned with the preposition 'om' because there are several other combinations possible: 'vragen naar' and 'vragen aan' do not mean the same as 'vragen om'. See also the verb-prepositions list?.
