The Science of Honk
220 Hz Square
87k WAVE
So although the square wave is just one wave, it can be dismantled into a rich array of overtones (also called harmonics).
If there is a sound having 220, 440, 660, 880, 1100 and 1320 cycles per
second within it, how do we know whether it is a single raucous crow
or a choir of nightingales?
This may not matter to you, but it is of great interest to the crow and to the nightingales.
It is possible to create a mathematical analysis of the combined sound,
such as a Fourier analysis, but that is a slow process. The crow
and the nightingales need a RAPID analysis of the sound -
so that they can instantly identitfy it. That is the task of the
inner ear.
Anatomy of the Inner Ear
Nerves are arranged in pairs, of which there are twelve. The eighth
nerve pair are to do with hearing and balance. An extension of the
eighth nerve runs through the basilar membrane, and picks up the
sounds that have already been separated into their component frequencies.
If the sound was that of a flute, or a cuckoo, or something with very
few overtones, only a single bundle of neurons in the nerve will have
been actuated. So already we are beginning to define the timbre as well
as the pitch of the sound.
If there were several overtones, several bundles will have been actuated. The presence of a large cluster of actuated bundles suggests a shrill tone. However, full confirmation that it is a single shrill notes rather than several disparate sounds requires the nervous data to be matched up.
What is going on in the eighth cranial nerve? The signal is approximately
like this:
As that signal is detected by the ciliated nerves of the cochlea, it has pulses that vary from about seven cycles per second to perhaps three hundred cycles per second. These pulses have an amplitude of about thirty millivolts - but they are not electrical. They are caused by sodium and potassium ions changing place with each other. Ions move slowly, so they take perhaps a tenth of a second to move along the eighth cranial nerve.
The frequency of these pulses has nothing to do with the pitch of the note. The pitch has already been evaluated by the cochlea, and been encoded into the bundle that carries the signal. The frequency of the pulses defines the loudness of that tone.
The dynamic range is perhaps a million-to-one. In other words, 60 decibels. Zero decibels is defined at the Quiet Room. Ten decibels is ten times as loud as the quiet room. Twenty is a hundred times the quiet room. Thirty is a thousand, forty is ten thousand, fifty is a hundred thousand and sixty is a million.
So there are very roughly five pulses per decibel. That explains why sound engineers use the decibel system. Just as the decibel system is a logarithmic progression, so also is the encoding system of the entire nervous system.
There are millions of neurons in the eighth cranial nerve. Here we see a nerve receiving similar pulse frequencies at A and B - suggesting that sound A and sound B are of similar strength. The logarithm of A minus the logarithm of B emerges at Q. This is the logarithm of the ratio of strength A to strength B, because perception is a ratio.
As A and B are the same, the output is NIL. This is the logarithm of 1. Similarly, at R we have the logarithm of the ratio of strength B to strength A. This also is zero.
It is, however, not quite so simple. This is because there are about ten thousand million nerves in the human brain, which are extensively interconnected. To maintain system integrity, Nature needs to supply engineering test signals, which show that the nervous connexions are alive and active. These are generally the alpha waves, at about seven cycles per second. There are other signals though, Delta at one tenth to three Herz (cycles per second), Theta at 4 to 8, Alpha (as described) from 7.5 to 13 and Beta above 12.
One typical arrangement of frequencies in a naturally occurring sound has 3 dB loss of amplitude per octave. That would be perhaps 15 pulses per second of the nervous system per octave. So A 220 might deliver 100 Hz at the cochlea, A 440 might deliver 85. A 880 might deliver 70, and A 1760 might deliver 55.
The nervous system might take the 85 away from the 100 - giving 15. Also, in real time (whilst the data is still passing along the nerve), it might subtract the 55 from the 70. This also gives 15 - but at the output of a separate neuron.
As these two 15 Hz signals travel along the nerve, one is subtracted from the other. The output is nil (plus the alpha wave). So from the ratio of ratios the eighth nerve has shown that they are all related to each other.
We have seen how a square wave consists of the odd harmonics. The notes 220, 440, 660, 880 and so on would represent all the harmonics. So comparisons are made in every conceivable way until the special shrillness of a crow`s cry can be distinguished from the special shrillness of a square wave.
This continues, with ratios of ratios of ratios and so on, as the data passes along the nerve. It has been said that there is so much data-processing that one cannot say where it is that the eighth nerve ends and the brain itself begins.
By the time the signal reaches the thalamus, it is already identified not as 220, 440, 660, 880 Herz, but as 220 shrill. That shrillness is itself parameterised.
From the thalamus, the signal goes to the auditory cortex on each
side of the brain. Here, the 220 shrill on the left is compared
with the 220 shrill on the right. Spacial awareness arrives -
the brain detects that it is "220 shrill" at 45 degrees azimuth on the
left, because the left is louder than the right.
The image shows the outline of the brain, and the approximate positions of the auditory and visual cortices. Note that both the auditory and the visual information is upside down. That is to say, treble is detected near the base of the brain, and the picture on the visual cortex is inverted.
Perhaps there is the hiss of escaping steam at 60 degrees azimuth on the right. This white noise would mask the sound. However, the auditory cortex also detects this sound - and by separating the two sounds spacially actually delivers noise reduction in the perceived "220 shrill" on the left.
The crow has no interest whatsoever in the musical pitch or timbre of the note, nor in the azimuth angle - as far as we know. However, it is interested in crows. The sounds of all crows it has met have been parameterised, and are stored in the brain.
The LIMBIC SYSTEM of the brain, shown here as the white areas in the middle, is the very soul of the mind. It compares the A 220 shrill sound with all the other sounds the crow has experienced. Perhaps it finds a match.
The limbic system is the inner rind of the brain. It connects all parts of the brain together. By gathering all that it known on any particular subject - the sight, the sound, the emotional involvement and so on - collected by all the seven senses, it gives an overall impression of that subject to the conscious mind.
Humans can identify a single voice out of several hundred thousand. For example, our limbic systems enable us to recognise the voice of Elvis Presley, or of Pavarotti. All the subtle clues of timbre and pitch enable our brains to link one piece of data with another.
So the crow feels that it can hear a crow "over there" (at 45 degrees).
Perhaps the crow turns its head through 45 degrees. The semicircular canals confirm that the head is turning, and define the speed - but as Aristotle observed, the eyes can see movement. It seems to be the visual clues that make the crow stop turning its head when it reaches 45 degrees.
If you turn your head to the left, the world will seem to pass you by to the right. However, if the image on the visual cortex is upside-down, that image will also turn to the left. So the crow needs only to turn its head until the perceived angle of the inverted image matches the perceived direction of the sound.
If the crow now hears the sound again, and actually sees a crow, the feeling that the crow receives from its limbic system is "There is a crow".
Similarly, the nightingales experience in their limbic systems a
feeling of disappointment.
Harmony Discovered
220 Hz Honk
87k WAVE
The tone is the sixth root of two, or 1.122462. One wave will be 12.2462 percent faster than the other. The beat frequency will be half of that (6.1231 percent), but it will not sound that way because a burst of sound appears on each half-cycle.
The cycles of one burst of sound will progressively intensify the vibration of the basilar membrane. However, the next cycle, being in antiphase, will first bring that oscillation to rest. Then the basilar membrane will vibrate in the opposite phase. The mind perceives two quite distinct bursts of sound, but no perception of phase.
We have seen that the centre frequency is Pythagorean - it is halfway between the two. That is, it is 6.1231 percent higher than the lower frequency.
If we add that centre frequency, the phase inversions become clear.
We have assumed equal quantities of all sinusoids we used.
So we had a double-strength standard honk wave. Now a single amount
of centre frequency either adds to it, giving three units, or
subtracts from it to leave just one:
I propose to call this Fifty Cents of Trichord Honk.
220 Hz Trichord
87k WAVE
The effect of alternating between a threefold and single-fold burst of sound is like having dried peas or stones in a metal can. As you shake the can, you get a loud and a soft clang.
However, a three-to-one difference in amplitude brings a 4.77
decibel difference in signal strength, and a 9.54 decibel
difference in energy. Accordingly, the sound has a closer
resemblance to a bichord honk of half the Cent value.
220 Hz 50 Cent Honk
87k WAVE
The distinction is made to help match up the timbre of treble, which has two strings, and bass which has three.
In the basilar membrane, there may be sufficient energy left over from the large bursts to absorb all the energy of the small ones. In such a case, one will be unaware of there being a large and a small burst. One may be aware only of the loud sounds, and the rattling may seem to be at half speed.
Accordingly, we can already define a rule for the specification of
the HONK of a note.

January happens to be one of the "on-call" months for my DMAT. About a week before each on-call month, I go through my 72 hour pack and my main gear bag, making sure that anything I "borrowed" from it was put back in, any foods that need to be replaced are, and that everything is in good shape. I potentially have to live out of my 72 hour bag. It has food, my medical gear, first aid kit, change of clothes, stuff to keep me busy, some survival gear, etc. And my gear bag is replacement clothing, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, pillow, spare bag (Things expand while on deployment! I swear!), MREs, and more.
I had begun this process, then got hurt. On December 31, I called my unit commander to advise him I would not be deployable for 6 weeks. I think that hurt worse than the injury. I joined DMAT to provide medical care during disasters. I made the decision to join the team right after 9/11 (I had heard about them during my EMT recert class), and I've been with them ever since. I've deployed since in 2004, and 2008, with wildland fire medical and CalMAT thrown in in-between. Even when the orthopedist told me the news, I had not immediately thought it would take me out of deployment availabiltiy, but that realization hit a few moments later.
This week, as hopefully all of you are aware, a 7.0 earthquake hit in Haiti, a few miles from Port-Au-Prince. Casualty estimates are 50,000 to possibly 500,000. That's just the dead. Injured? Try 4 or 5 times that. Illness, infection, rescue/recovery/rebuilding injuries will increase that. And the hospitals and clinics are destroyed. This is a first for DMATs. We have historically worked US missions, although some teams have gone to US territories, such as Guam, and American Samoa. Teams landed in Port-Au-Prince today, along with DMORT (Disaster Mortuary Response Team), IMSuRT (International Medical Surgical Response Team), and more. My team is on standby, although not first out the door for this mission. The medical response for this mission will be prolonged. The magnitude of this disaster is almost surreal. 3 million people are homeless. Malaria, Dengue, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B, and TB are endemic in Haiti.
I was asked last night "how broken I was", by one of my teammates. A few want me to deploy with the team, but I can't. Part of my readiness is assessing my capability. I am an EMT. Yes, I am also the Electronic Medical Record expert on the team, but I am first and foremost an EMT. I can't do that work right now. And I need to let my elbow heal, so that I can continue to be a responder, for the team, for my company, and for my employer. This is my livelihood at stake right now. Back in July, I had to make the same decision when I had my knee worked on. Each of us has a responsibility to ensure that we are capable of performing our work. And to assess ourselves and determine that we are not putting our team or partners at risk due to illness or injury. I don't want to do something that will make my arm worse, and potentially send me to the O.R., when I can potentially avoid it by allowing my arm to heal. And I don't want to risk the safety of my team.
Besides, there will always be more deployments. And I suspect multiple deployments to Haiti.

The "Keep Your Distance" Bug Vacuum
This cordless insect vacuum quickly captures bugs from up to 2' away. Flies, bees spiders and other insects are suctioned by a 22,400 rpm motor, sending the insect through a one-way valve in the extension tube to an electric grid in the handle that instantly kills the pest.
The extension tube removes to place dead bugs in the garbage, shutting off the electric grid in the process to protect curious fingers from electrical shocks or burns.
Without the use of toxic chemicals or vacuum bags that can serve as breeding grounds, this handheld device has an extendable nozzle to reach insects in high ceilings, while the flexible rubber suction cup compresses to fit in tight corners, and the lightweight plastic design allows complete control while c hasing flying insects.

Added Mar 9, 2011
London, United K...
This coat cost 5p(!) at a jumble sale, having obviously been used as a child's costume in some kind of stage production: but once the sleeves had been let out again, the missing button replaced and the hole in the pocket lining mended, it had obviously once been a fairly classy garment, and a rather useful one. It's made of some kind of pure wool suiting fabric which is very warm for its light weight, and I have been wearing it throughout the winter.
However, the one missing part that I couldn't find a replacement for was a belt to go through the dangling belt loops. I thought I'd be able to pick up a second-hand fabric belt cheaply, but I couldn't find any at all. In the end I decided to make one myself, using the fabric left over from making the waistband of my peacock rescue skirt. The piece of cloth wasn't quite long enough so I had to piece an extra six inches or so onto the end of my strip.
It hadn't dawned on me precisely how long the seams are on a tailored belt and how many times one has to tack and then sew them: once to catch down the outside of the interfacing, once to sew it in close to the fold, once to make the seam, twice with tiny running stitches to topstitch the edges after turning outside-in (and then I had to unpick the original interfacing seam, which was redundant and showed….)
I found an old-fashioned haberdashery shop (Jeanette Fashions in Clapham High Street) with a drawer full of buckles, and bought one for 35p; then I had to work out from scratch how to sew it in while leaving the prong free to move! In the end I cut a long slit (much longer than I thought it would have to be) towards the end of the belt and buttonholed through all the layers to seal the edges, before inserting a half tailored loop just behind the buckle to hold the belt firmly against the prong, and stitching the end back against itself, while running another seam through the six layers of fabric immediately behind the bar of the buckle to keep it in place. (I'm not sure how one would do this bit by machine: it was a bit of a fiddle by hand, but not too hard.) A second tailored loop was left free to slide along the belt and secure the loose end.
In the absence of a tailor's awl I actually used a mattress needle plus my seam ripper to make the eyelet holes , catching up and severing a few threads at a time and then buttonholing as closely as possible around the hole. This project took far longer than I had expected; however, as I thought, the belt does make a big difference to the way the coat hangs, and the way its skirts flare out when you walk. The coat is still slightly too big for me, but it looks a lot more feminine now!

"Petiting" a Pattern
As I finished tracing my BWOF pattern for the white shirt it dawned on me that perhaps a post on how to petite a pattern might be of interest. It was my next step in the process before making my muslin. I "petite" all of my patterns now as soon as I take them out of the envelope or after finishing their tracing. This is done before any other pattern alterations. The rule is do any lengthwise alterations first.
First you need to figure out on your next project whether you need to take length out of the upper chest area or the area between waist and bust. It may even be both. For me and I think many petites it is between the bust and shoulder, right about where a measuring tape would go for an upper chest measurement.
You will need to adjust the sleeve, front bodice, and back bodice pieces. There will be some experimenting here as you learn just how much to take out for your own figure. I highly suggest a muslin or two to experiment with so you will get the exact amount down. For me, 5 feet tall and very narrow of shoulder and upper chest, I remove a half inch between the bust and shoulder seam. That means I FOLD OUT 1/4 INCH. The size of your fold will be HALF THE WIDTH of the amount you want to take out. If you want to remove a 1/4 inch you will fold a tuck 1/8 inch wide.
First, find your straight of grain, which should be clearly marked on your pattern piece always. On the upper chest, at a 90º angle to the straight of grain, draw a line from the center of the armscye to the CF of the pattern. I have a big acrylic triangle that is wonderful for this. It doesn't need to in an exact location, just somewhere mid armhole and perpendicular to the straight of grain. Do this to the front and back bodice pieces. Now fold the pattern on that line you just made. Next is to fold that edge down the amount you need to adjust. So the line is on the edge of the first fold. You will then see the amount, 1/4 inch in my case, in a tuck across the bodices.
Next you need to do the sleeve. Again go perpendicular to the straight of grain on the sleeve and draw your line across. In this picture you can see how that makes the tuck at a slight slant for this particular sleeve. That's OK. Fold out your tuck the same width as on the bodices.
Folding out the bodices has now made your armholes smaller, so some scooping needs to be done. I scoop out a healthy 1/4 inch from the bottom of the armscyes on the bodice pieces. I start about a third of the way up the armscye on the bodice and true down to the seam so that at the seamline it has beens scooped a 1/4 inch. Here again, your experimental muslin pays off. I can't stress this enough. That's because if you work this out now it will be so easy to do with every pattern you use right from the get go. It literally takes minutes to do so don't worry about adding too much work to the process. The payoff is there.
This takes care of the bodices and sleeves. Next are the details. This is so important to us petites. Big details make us look bad, no matter the fit. Again here comes the priceless muslin. You don't need to make entire lined flaps here or totally install a collar. And, after a while you will know intinctively just what to size back. Most of my collars are cut back a 1/4 inch on the width. On a jacket or such with a big collar I may cut back a half inch. Don't ever cut back your short collar edges or length. You are really messing with the fit if you do. Trust me, don't do it. They need to line up with CF so that is why you don't touch those . I am just talking the depth of the collar from neckline to outer edge on the long edge only. This has made a major improvement in the appearance of my clothes.
For flaps and pockets I also cut them all back a 1/4 inch all around except for the edge that will be stitched to the garment, usually the upper edge. Look at your pattern closely. Are there other details that need to be changed? My current blouse project has a pleat in the back. On my muslin I made the pleat exactly the length specified on the pattern. I thought it might be stitched down for too long of a length. In this case it was fine, but these are the details you need to check out with each garment and change if needed. Back to flaps and such, make them one layer of fabric and just pin them to the garment. You don't have to get into heavy construction to see the size of things. Just a cut outline of a flap or pocket will let you know.
As far as skirts, it is the same process, but I find for my five feet I usually just have to hem shorter. A skirt with any sort of draping or bias will absolutely need to have the length taken out and trued probably at the fullest part of your hip. This, again, all depends on your own petite proportions.
Now that you have "petited" your pattern you can do any further alterations, FBAs, SBAs, shoulder changes, ect. Learning how to petite my patterns has greatly helped me in my fit quest.
Hope this info helps you.
Now, speaking of further alterations, has anyone seen my cup? The one I lost recently? Last week I went on a bra buying binge of my beloved Vanity Fairs. I do that every few years. For the first time since I was twelve I am taking a Bcup. I actually doubted that I took a B so grabbed all sorts of sized to bring into the dressing room. 34B it was. I welcome this change. I have had a lifetime of size changes, despite keeping my weight pretty much what it was on the day I got married. My point here is that as sewists we need to constantly be aware of our bodies. The changes seem to increase exponentially as we get past the Big M. You have no idea how I have welcomed the body changes of menopause. RTW never looked good on me as a young women and that certainly was a huge motivator in my sewing. My hourglass had the gaping waist no matter what. Nothing fit unless I made it and I wasn't that good at fit at that point. When I got married , swear to goodness. It was 34DD, 21 waist, and 40 hips. Dolly Parton had nothing on me. Some years later with childbirth my waist expanded to 24 and I loved it. Now I could at least get a little better fit in a pair of jeans, but that ass......Than there came the years of working on my feet and walking huge showrooms. Add in an epiphany with exercise and my bust and butt decreased. It's getting better here. And now with the deflation, literally, of the Big M I am really happy. I can go out and buy clothes off the rack. My sewing is tremendously less frustrating. Yeah, that 34DD is now a 34B. The waist is 25, and the hips have stayed at 37-8 for the last five years with lots of walking. Sometimes getting older is an OK thing.......................Bunny

I too have been able to buy some rtw clothing in the last few years post M. And I don't miss my DDs either. :)
Your 'petiting' instructions are very much like my lengthening list. Same locations, but I cut and spread.
Thank you for explaining how to petite patterns. I may need this information when sewing for my teenage daughter who is petite.ReplyDelete
Me too, I need to petite patterns for my daughter. Thanks, Bunny!ReplyDelete
How nice that RTW is becomming easier to fit as you get, um...more mature. I seem to be the opposite. Of course, it would help if I could keep my weight at a more constant number.ReplyDelete

Thank you sooo much for this explanation. I have wanted to sew for my 6'1" husband, but didn't know how to turn a regular pattern into a tall for him. Thank you! Thank you! I have learned so much from you over the past few months. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge! Blessings from WV.ReplyDelete
I just found this post...thanks for the tips!!! :D I am 4'10.5" with an E bust and a tiny waist, so I undestand! Nothing seems to fit me off-the-rack, and if it does, it doesn't seem appropriate for my age. Thank you again for the tipc. -Redhead Lynn (http://redheadlynn.blogspot.com/)ReplyDelete
Hi there! I know this is an old post, but I just found it!. I'm 5'2" with narrow shoulders and a C cup, and sewing patterns never fit me right. I finally realized I should be making petite adjustments, so thank you very much for illuminating where to get started! :)ReplyDelete
Well, the Big M explains a lot! Didn't do anything for my bust...I used to be a DD now I am a G, BUT I have lost in the band size. I haven't been a 34 in anything since my early 20's! And now I can wear RTW jeans!ReplyDelete
Thanks for this! I had shortened the bodice and so the armscye was shorter and I needed to shorten the sleeve cap too.ReplyDelete
Hi, I know this is an old post but I hope it's not too late to ask a question. I'm an absolute beginner and, like you, 5'0" and very narrow in the shoulders. One of my motivations for sewing is that everything is always too low cut on me. I'm not quite sure that I understand your instructions regarding collars, and what it's okay to do and not do. Say I want to sew a blouse with a Chelsea collar (a v-neck with a collar all the way down). The point at which I would need shorten between the bust and shoulder intersects the collar, so the collar also has to be shortened, right? How would I handle this? Thanks so much for your help, I've learned a lot already from your blog!ReplyDeleteReplies
On the collar you make a tuck from the neckline to the out edge of the collar. You will do this two times, once on each side of the collar and at the approximate same location as the tucks in the bodice. Hope this is clear. If you need any further help just email me at bunnypep at gmail dot com....Delete

The "Cobwebs" concert will include a variety of music and musical entertainment. The program, which will last about one hour, is designed especially for audience members that are unfamiliar with traditional band music.
Highlights will include: the University Band performing the fun and unusual "Phantasmagoria March." The Brass Choir will wear a variety of costumes and the Wind Symphony will also perform the mysterious "Ghost Train" with stage effects.
The University Band is a concert ensemble that represents members of the general MSU student body as well as the larger community. The Brass Choir and Cello Ensemble consist of members of MSU applied studios--many of whom are advanced music majors and local performers. The Wind Symphony is an audition-only group of advanced players from both within and outside of the School of Music. The groups are led by MSU music professors Nathan Stark, Julia Cory and Tim Dueppen.
Tickets for the concerts are $10 for general admission and $5 for students. Tickets will be available at the door.
Reynolds Recital Hall is located in Howard Hall, across the street from the MSU Duck Pond.

« Meek Mill Announces New 'Dreams & Nightmares' Release Date
New Music: Neon Hitch f/ Tyga – 'Gold' »
Frank Ocean Cancels Remaining European Tour Dates
The show won't go on for Frank Ocean. The "Thinkin Bout You" singer has pulled out of his remaining European festival tour dates and his opening slot on Coldplay's tour.
He expressed his regret over the decision in a statement released online (via MTV News).
"Let me start by saying I feel like an asshole right now, but a tough decision had to be made in regard to my schedule over the next months and the casualties of that decision include my appearances at upcoming festivals in Europe and my opening slot on the European leg of the Coldplay world tour," said the Odd Future crooner. "Sorry as f**k, I'll be back if you'll have me."
The announcement comes just days after Ocean abruptly walked off the stage at Norway's Oye Festival after performing four songs. A festival representative told the crowd that he "suddenly got sick and lost his voice."
Following the release of his critically-acclaimed album channel ORANGE in July, he toured briefly in the U.S. and was scheduled to open for Coldplay through September.

If you've wondered what it feels like to never feel dry, just ask Jack Sock. For the entirety of his second round match against Gael Monfils on Thursday, under the roof of Hisense Arena, the American looked like he had drowned his clothes before even starting.
The pair had been due to play on Margaret Court Arena, but the heat delay and rapid progress of Roger Federer saw them moved to the humid surrounds of Hisense.
"I love the heat, so it was bit disappointing," Monfils said afterwards, somewhat mischievously. "I love the heat. But was good the roof was closed because it help my serve."
If Monfils had fans tearing their hair out at the way he and Gilles Simon played their slow-moving epic here last year, on Thursday evening he was on far snappier form, perhaps realising that he and Sock might lose their body weight in water if they went the distance, instead winning 7-6(2) 7-5 6-2 in two hours and three minutes.
Ranked 32 to Sock's 95, Monfils had never met the young American, a mixed doubles champion, before, which always leads to a period of adjustment in the match. Monfils likes to craft his way around a court, sliding and stretching for his shots and openings.
The Nebraska native, meanwhile, prefers the outside, the breeze, and hitting crunching winners from the baseline. Being run around hell for leather on an indoor court? Not so much.
That said, Sock held his own for the first set, staving off four break points in the sixth game, and battling into a tie-break. The score went 7-2 in Monfils' favour, but it was no sure thing, just a winner apiece and a smattering of forced and unforced errors in between.
Perhaps it was still with him, because he allowed Monfils the break in the very first game of the second, and, although he clawed it back as Monfils served for the set, Sock dropped his serve again straight after.
The shorts that had been drowned now looking completely submerged, Monfils increased to a gallop, breaking again in the opening game as Sock's forehand fell apart. The 32nd seed had two more break points at 4-2 in the third, before converting the third. A game later, game over.
"I feel good," Monfils said afterwards. "It was a bit easier because the roof was closed, and I think I played quite well. But I'm not so satisfied, there were a few mistakes, but it was not bad."
The Frenchman ended with 13 aces and 39 winners, practically perfect serving and volleying on the 12 occasions he went for it, and 76 per cent of returns in.
But he will have to do much more against his next opponent, Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard leads their head-to-head 9-2, the most recent win coming two weeks ago in the Doha final. Monfils came close in that one. In fact, his only two wins against Nadal have come in Doha - in 2012 and 2009.
"It's gonna be very nice, it's always nice to play against Rafa," Monfils said, commenting that the world No.1 just does "everything well."
It'll be entertaining. Bring popcorn.

Credit Unions Revise Bank Transfer Day Gains
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- The Credit Union National Association has dialed down earlier estimates about how many customers closed their accounts at big banks and joined credit unions leading up to National Bank Transfer Day after a quarterly report revealed discrepancies in the data.
The new survey results show that only 214,000 people joined credit unions in October, a significant decrease from the number that CUNA had previously reported. Last month, the group said that credit unions had added approximately 650,000 members between Sept. 29, the day Bank of America (BAC) announced its now-rescinded monthly $5 debit card fee, and Bank Transfer Day.
|Discrepancies in data lead credit unions to dial down estimates about how many customers they gained on Bank Transfer Day.
CUNA says it still stands by its estimate for Bank Transfer Day itself, maintaining that 40,000 people joined credit unions Nov. 5, but it does not believe that an additional 209,000 members were added between Nov. 1-4, as that amount of new accounts could be attributed to existing customers.

Normally I would agree with you FckMan but gap posts respectable info in nearly every malphite thread.
Junior Member
I've also had his ult fizzle out on me. I caught Nunu and Kat using their ults with it, but it didn't damage, knock up, or interrupt their channeling.
i have played as much games as you have with malph, half of it in ranked. no problems here whatsoever, if this thread is still up to date when i experience a problem ill post it but until then im just an unstoppable force and wondering when this sleeper will get a bunch of QQ'ers coming in here *****ing about this or that. always happens. i have seen much more malphites in rank lately which is annoying as i sometimes pick last and some noob picks him and goes 0/10 with him.
Yeah, i have seen some QQ Malph threads in the genral forums. He has defitly become respectable choice in almost any game...and a veyr strong counter pick to certain champs/teams.
O, maybe this is why I've been seeing some funny Malphs lately that can't hit with it.

I have a request for a sheet cake with a basketball theme. Only catch is that she wants half decorated for a boy and the other side for a girl. Any suggestions on a design that will work.
Any ideas for this cake?
Cake Central Top Picks
what about using neon colors of pink & blue
because a lighter color would look baby-ish don't you think?
the stitches on a baseball could be each color
the bases could be both colors--or better yet--white bases as usual
on the brown 'pathway' between bases run a pink and a blue line instead of a white one
you could make one blue and one pink bat
you could pipe or make mitts in each color
(i would like it more uni*** rather than each being represented myself--but it ain't my cake ;)
but those are some thoughts
basket ball is worse
ok the lines on the floor--make one side pink and the other side blue
pipe a pink & blue net on the hoop
maybe harder but
draw two jerseys one with a waist and one straight down the sides pink & blue

Something like this maybe but stars half pink and other half blue, and maybe the ball normal colour.
How old are the kids the cake is for?
Or maybe a basketball court / half a court and get a girl basketball player and a boy basketball player figure to put on top.
Amazon have a full girls set including goals -

What about something along these lines? Forgive my pathetic little paint drawing, and made up names LOL! You could add a woodgrain/wood plank type texturing or coloring to the main part of the floor. The |-o things at each end are supposed to be the baskets. And, somehow my center basketball looks more like a tennis ball...but you get the idea anyway! :)

From Demi Moore to Ryan Gosling, see what the stars born between Nov. 7-13 can tell you about the sign of Scorpio

Born: Nov. 11, 1974
No one works more passionately than a Scorpio. So, although Leonardo DiCaprio could easily have surfed to fame and fortune solely on his all-American good looks, he's made his name by committing thoroughly to each project he chooses -- from this fall's hotly anticipated J. Edgar to his internationally renowned eco-activism. Those born under this sign sometimes spend their whole lifetime finding someone they deem worthy of their high standards, so while the Oscar nominee has been linked to some of the greatest lovelies in the world (including actress Blake Lively and supermodel Bar Rafaeli), he's yet to settle down.

"Black Friday" Past and Present
Looking Back
The parking lot at Ala Moana Shopping Center always looks like the 4th of July at dawn this time every year. Some stores are actually opening at midnight. Most of Ala Moana will open at 6 AM. Last year I made a YouTube movie of the action at Ala Moana. To see it just CLICK HERE:
I won't be making one this year because I will be recovering from hernia surgery. OUCH! We were supposedly was in the heart of a recession, but you wouldn't know it from that video. Everything I hear about 2012 is that it will be much better than in past years. I refused to buy into the negative projections heard at that time, and continue to see ample evidence that all is well when you are doing what works.
I wish everyone a super successful holiday season starting with; "Green Friday."

The Adventure of Tintin 1.0
Play as multiple characters and explore fascinating locations
The game at hand may be a platformer, but the gameplay style does change for some levels, as does the perspective. Hence, you are almost never looking at your character from the same angle for too long, especially since the rhythm of the game is quite alert and you are always advancing through the environment, stumbling from room to room.
Your purpose, as in the movie, is to find the truth behind the secret of the Unicorn ship, as well as cause quite a bit of trouble on the way there, by disrupting the operations of wealthy art dealers or various other crooks. In addition, you can also play as many other characters beside Tintin, including his wacky dog Snowy, or the always furious Captain Haddock.
Masterfully crafted environments
Although the title is a basic platformer most of the time, the environments contain a lot of detail, due to the fact that the engine is actually a very potent 3D one. Thus, from the sublime character animation, to the incredible water physics, everything is nicely detailed and more than convincing, whether it's the mansions you break into, or the curious city of Bagghar.
Furthermore, the game can be played in cooperative mode, which means that it is possible to have your friends join you and solve the mysteries together in multiplayer. In case you enjoy competition as well, the challenge mode can be used instead, which provides you with a variety of pretty difficult missions against a more than capable AI opponent.
Go beyond the events from the movie
Even if the game follow the original story, it does go off-script from time to time, by providing you with new challenges and events for you to take part in. Thus, The Adventure of Tintin is a very enjoyable experience, especially if you liked the movie as well.

Oh, helloooo. Coming out of the woodwork of North Carolina is Neon, a unique track from 19 year old Myles Travitz that definitely deserves a listen. Travitz says,
"I have been working really hard at coming up with a different style of track than I normally do and I definitely think that this one fits the bill for sure. It has and uplifting feel with a mixture of electro and disco/funk influences."
I definitely agree. This song is all over the place, but in a good way. It starts off sweet with a beautiful little melody and then progresses into a happy, funky dance beat. It's upbeat. It's new. And there's cowbell. Always more cowbell. Download the song below and check it out for yourself!

Bad sex ratio in China forces men to pay bride price
Associating women with money is perhaps one of the barbarous acts that society adopted ages ago. Whereas woman always falls prey in this deadly game, the situation seems to be vice-versa in China. With demand for brides touching the peak in China, the parents of young women are having all reasons to smile. The bridegrooms are now shelling out thousands of yuans for holding the hands of their dream partners.
The experts observed that ration between men and women dropped to great extent with many families looking forward to boys before they conceive. The parents blessed with boys perhaps didn't know that their sons have to hurt the pockets to find their better halves.
Also, the weddings are apparently leaving people in China in financial distress. A mother of a bridegroom, Tan said that her family had given 30,000 yen to get home daughter-in-law and their financial condition was bad after paying bride price. One of the groom's had a different story all together. He called off the wedding after his in-laws demanded 1,00,000 yen.
Notably, the scholars are predicting that by 2020, over 20 million men would be forced to remain bachelors due to bad sex ratio.
What would be the situation in China if the same thing continues? Will couple of persons share a single wife or people there try and get wives from other countries are million dollar questions! (Phani)

Welcome to Motorsports Monday, a recap of the thrills and spills from the weekend of racing. Today we cover the Hungarian Grand Prix, Spa 24 Hours, Curtiss Shaver 400 and Indy 250 for the weekend of July 27-29, 2012. Pump up the revs and wait for that green light.
Formula One – Hungarian Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton found a surefire way to avoid the bad luck that has plagued him this season, taking pole position and leading the entire race to win the Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring this weekend. Hamilton and McLaren needed the win badly, and it moves him into fourth place in the standings and the team gained some ground on Red Bull in the team championship. Lotus looked especially strong, with Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean taking the other two podium spots. The two drivers raced each other hard, with Raikkonen exiting the pits as Grosjean came into Turn 1 and the two nearly collided – images of Sebastien Vettel and Mark Webber dancing in viewers' heads – as the Fin held his position. Lotus is just one point behind McLaren and two ahead of Ferrari. Speaking of the prancing horse, points leader Fernando Alonso finished fifth to maintain his lead over the field. Only eight points separate Webber in second from Raikkonen in fifth, as the season now enters its month-long holiday and will return with the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa on September 2. Felipe Massa notched another sub-par performance, in ninth, and is struggling to provide points support for the Ferrari team. Don't be surprised to see the Tifosi court Raikkonen over the break as it appears they may have cooled on Mexican wunderkind Sergio Perez.
Blancpain Endurance Series – Spa 24: A soaking, drama-filled twenty-four hours ended the way that most long races have ended this year: with Audi on top. The No. 16 Audi R8 LMS ultra of Pheonix Racing won the fourth event in the Blancpain Endurance Series from 28 th place, completing 509 laps on the famed circuit in Belgium. Another R8 from Audi Sport Team WRT finished second while the pole-sitting No. 66 BMW Z4 GT3 finished two minutes later in third. Heavy rain and the long distance caused a whopping sixteen caution flags throughout the race, and just over half of the 66 cars finished. It likely would have been a 1-2-3 sweep for Audi if not for a miscue at high speed for the No. 2 WRT R8 LMS car that slammed into the tires on Eau Rouge (video here), a reminder that Circuit de Francorchamps Spa is always in charge.
NASCAR Sprint Cup – Crown Royal Presents The Curtiss Shaver 400: Five-time champion Jimmie Johnson became the first driver to win a Sprint Cup race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, holding off a charging field to bring his Chevrolet to the winner's circle for Hendrick Motorsports. Kyle Busch in a Toyota and Greg Biffe in a Ford rounded out the podium.
NASCAR Nationwide Series – Indy 250: Brad Keselowski won a downright crazy Nationwide race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, handing Roger Penske his first stock car win at Indy and 100 th overall NASCAR win. Sprint Cup driver Keselowski and Nationwide driver Eliot Sadler were 1-2 during a caution when Sadler jumped ahead on the restart as Keselowski spun his tires. Despite Keselowski's unforced error, NASCAR officials penalized Sadler with a drive-through penalty just eleven laps from the finish and he came in 15 th. Keselowski kissed the bricks and Sam Hornish Jr. finished second, but as previously outlined here on Motorsports Monday, Sprint Cup drivers shouldn't count in these races. Ty Dillon, therefore, won the race in third place and his brother Austin Dillon finished second from fifth. Sadler leads the latter Dillon in the Nationwide championship by just one point.

The 22 or the 16? These numbers correspong the the wire gauge, or, thickness of the wire. When putting 12v or 24v of electricity through a wire, the current will get weaker as it travels through the line. If you have a long run, you may get what is called 'voltage drop', meaning, that 12v you put into the wire may only a fraction of that once it reaches the end, meaning a lot less brightness in your lights, or not enough power to light them at all.
OK, so back to the numbers. Thicker wires enable the electricity to travel longer distances. Here is a page on voltage drop - https://www.flexfireleds.com/led-strip-light-voltage-drop-what-is-voltage-drop/
- For short runs between RGB LED strips or from the controller to the lights, the 22 AWG RGB strip light extra wire will work. (You are on the correct page)
- For longer runs, or if you are putting more than 4 amps through the line, use the 16 AWG RGB strip light wire
- 4-22 AWG wires . Great for shorter gaps between RGB strip lights.
- Red, Green, Blue, and Black Color
- RGB strip light wire is SOLD BY THE FOOT. Please enter the quantity in FEET when ordering.

|Finally Michael Moore's new movie will be with us soon. And who else did he get to produce it? A Canadian production company, Lion or somthing.
Last couple days have been spent with Alex exclusively. And I havn't had any inclination to do otherwise. Tomorrow looks like it'll be the same.
Saturday night I went over there, we might have gone to Cathedral, but I know he didn't want to. I was to tired for that anyway. watched Willard and Pitch Black. Willard was alright, but the director is tring to hard to be Tim Burton. Pitch Black, I've seen it already, and as far as sci-fi alien horror crap it's pretty damn good. Might even go see the prequal. The rest of the night wasn't to exciting
Sunday morning, and the better part of the day, was spent making apple pie. Cept we didn't use apples we used a giant monster of a zucini. Tastes the same as apple though. I also make a big ol' stuft zucini with half of the half we had left after making the two pies, (I told you it was a giant monster zucini.)
Today I meet Alex at Boarders. I bought my dad a very small book, somthing like 2'4in, about meditation in action or somthing. Fathers day stuff. Went to Victoria Secret, they were having a sale. Bought a garder belt and a new bra for pretty cheep, which im happy about. Then we went to target so Alex could buy some video games. I got some underwear there too. Then we headed to the park to sit around and yeah. Taz and his wife came by and Alex bummed them a ciggerette and a little evening fun. I like them, they're sweet people... or maybe they're not, but they come off like they are. I wish them luck with whatever they have left of a life. We went to Aaron Brothers, beucase Alex is still looking for a job. Haha, he ended up buying ninety dollar markers. At least I know he'll use actually use them. I also told him to tell his dad to use them as a tax wright-off, maybe he can some money back. Then we took the bus down to San Marcos and saw Saved!, it was fuuuuuuuny. Go crazy christians. It wasn't as good as it could have been, if they had tried a bit more it could have had a more quriky dark humor feel. Oh well. It takes six minutes to walk all the way around the San Marcos Edwards 18. We came back and started watching Lost in Translation with some soy chorizo tequitos. But Alex never asked to stay the night, though it would only have been fair, so he had to leave about 15 minutes in.
Now Im here.
Tomorrow I should be heading down to 101 with him. There's a show at Ducky Waddles and I need to finish off that credit I have with Lou's. Mmmm, maybe we can go to Ogata too.
|Thursday, June 10th, 2004
One day... half a day left. Im working 'till ten tomorrow though.
Saturday could potentially be fun, theres Better Then Sex, which Mike has a very sketch plan of going to, theres Cathredral, though Alex doesn't wan't to go. There's sitting at Alex's house all night watching movies, that would require me to get in the mood though... not somthing I do very well, save 10:45pm Monday night or if Queer as Folk is on. Oh, thats what I can do, bring Queer as Folk.
Uncle Pidgeon still doesn't have his car back, that whole taking off for a day in a tiff didn't sit as well with his parents as he thought. So that's no option for Saturday.
That boy isn't ready to be out in the world in less then a yr! He's graduating early on top of that. I swear I'll have to keep an eye on that one. Alex aswell, god, their all leaving me next year.... shit.
|Wednesday, June 9th, 2004
Hahahahah, I got through everything and didn't cry. Couple more days left. Brian is leaving, after his second year as a junoir. If ever there was a friendly giant it was Brian. I hope he finds somthign good for himself out there, I hope he has help and I hope finds some good friends. I shoudl probably try and give him my number before he leaves, if I see him tomorrow.
I could possible be leaving for the better part of a week a couple weeks from now. God I hope that works out.
Hahahaha, stupid little fuck. My cat is an awsome exscape artist I found out today. Shes been couped up all week, I wouldn't let her out b/c I never had much time. No worries, she found a way out. SoI walked around the hosue a couple mins calling her name, looked over the balcony and there she is, 3 floors down in the garden. Whatever, I know I locked everythign before I left the day before.
I have to work Friday... which... no worries. Saturday I can't go to Cathredral b/c Sunday is Dad's day, so I can't stay at Alex's. I have next week off as a surprise, beach work doesn't start till the following. I guess I'll have to do a little make-up work w/ the monkey, peneance for negelect this week. I might just say im staying with Jacket and head up to Almost Better Then Sex, if I can swing it. Ah well, no worries I got time, a couple months of time.
Saw Hedeki today when I went to pick up my Gran, he's Austin and Alicia's roommate, small world. I Vaguley remember Austin having a profoudn hatred for Asains.... eh, whatever. Hedeki is nice, I wish I had the nerve to practice my Japanese on him.
Oh and I also sent an email to Olga, hah, talk about a small world. I got her e-mail from Elisha or rather it was forced apon me b/c aprantly she wants to rant about the pictures I have him of us when we were young. I hope I get something back from her. Haha, then I can spend some quality time being all nostalgic.
There ain't no party like a white-rabai party?
|Monday, June 7th, 2004
Mmmmmm, Sunday morning I wanted to stay in bed all day. I woke up all warm and safe and happy. Damn, had work at 9 am. Sorry monkey man. This week is to cramed. I've had to stay in Lucadia since Friday, whihc hasn;t hepled much. My japanese project is already kate I have a large math one to finish... that's if I'm still on my feet by tomorrow.
Last week of school.
|Saturday, June 5th, 2004
Okay, well I got through the whole week without looking at my computer? People around me seem to be living through their comupter to an extent that's disturbing. When you have to talk about your experiences on your computer the night before, the day after when you emerged into real life theres somthing must be somthing lacking in your mind.
One week left. I don't think the start if summer will impact my life that much. Ill still stand around twiddling my thumbs for 6 hours a day. Only difference is I'll be at the beach for three, hearding squadrens of 10 year olds in the right direction. Heh, like I could direct anyone in the right direction.
Today is Alexander I. Roudolphs 17th birthday. I called him this moring and sang over the phone. Mind you I can sing so he probably though I was having some kinda of fit.
Ever forget you already have a tampon in and stick another one up there anyway? You think you would notice, huh?
|Sunday, May 30th, 2004
|We made smoothies and ate all the humus. SCORE!
|Saturday, May 29th, 2004
|Today was hazy, with Jackie and toilets. Lots of toilet pictures, and we evern cleaned our ears. Oliver you're love. Kanpai!
|Tuesday, May 25th, 2004
|Hahaha, I thought today was fuckin hillariously ironic, but the little Alex wasn't so smitten. So we go to the art show right after school, since we were both supose to have pieces in it. I looks around the room for a while, didn't see mine, didn't see Alex's. Lots of the pieces really weren't very good.... oh well. I wasn't dissapointed becuase I thought hey, neither of us were included, thats okay. Just as I was about to leave I saw my 8 by 20 hanging on the wall, wait.... WOOPS! the name underneath said Alex Roudolph. Hahaha I was almost on the ground laughing, Alex didn't seem to think it was that funny. I went and asked about it, and was told that the piece didnt have a name on it. Though he thought that the one with Alex's name on it and mine were both done by Alex, and he picked the on he liked best. I don't think that made my baby to happy. Hahahah, but seriously what are the chances that his and mine would be the ones mixed up. Hahahah.
|Monday, May 17th, 2004
Haha, Sunday was really pretty nice. Even though Alex was stuck at home and bitter, I still had a pretty cool day. Which started out with a speghetti vs. mac'n'chese eating contest over the phone, and im almost ashamed to say; uncle Pidgeon ate his bowl of Mac'n'chese faster then I ate my freezered bowl of speghetti and tomato scauce... But then I made him pick my ass up.
And so we drove
We drove with the main goal of application giving and reciving, but on the way we chased down a hobo. He wouldn't tell us his name, and frankly I think he was a bit put off my two random teenagers doing a horribly park job and running after him yelling "excuse me". He told us to honk when we see him though. ( I saw him later when I was walking home, and had to appologise for not having a car too honk with... he was sympathetic and made the honking noise for me.) Uncle Pidgeon dream/life perpose after our attempted hobo introduction, becuase yes we went to hammock store. As luck would have it I happened to notice a HELP WANTED sign on the side of the building. Yes I am the bringing of wonderful shit.... or maybe it was the hobo and his good vibes. Anyway we sat in hammocks and Mike got an application.
After that it was down to Subsonic, becuase well who doesnt want free party flyer and would you knwo it, Pidg didn't even know the palces exsisted. Hah, I showed him. EDC! Oh, then we went looking for smoothies. God damn, you think I would have remembered places with smoothies on 101. No we drove all the way to Panican, dont worry everyone we got an awsome selection of over priced gummie bears in spite of no smoothie... what up with the Panican not having smoothies??? So we tuurned around and drove back the other way on 101... Finally I made him slam on the breaks cause the coffee shope next to the SRF had smoothies painted on their sign. Oh what smoothies they were too! Okay the smoothies weren't THAT great, but they came with little frickin green plastic monkeys on the straws! Heh Mike's feel off and mine drown, subsiquently I had to drink him out.... took me a while. The back of that place is nice, I'd sit back there and hang out again. It was LeStates degavue, cept nicer looking and not to cold. Then we hit the road again.
Now Mike Pidgeon out of all reason is purly beyond me, and always will be. I yell "free bed" he drives around the block twice to park in the place he stared from and spends 10 minutes with his trunk open tring to figure out what he could use to tie the bed to the top of his car. Mind you this was no small bed. No, this was at least a queen sized box spring and mattress. Thank god for not having bungie chords on hand.
Alright so you can't take a bed with you, becuase of travel space restrictions. Whats the natural thing to do in this situation? Go to the 2nd street thrift store looking for a very small cage for a little plastic monkey.
Im tired of writting, I'll wrap up my day with Uncle Pidgeon. Meet a girl with no hair, formed a plan to steal a catus. Catus place closed, dissapointment. Put two people in the truck and drive over speed bumps. Mkae a money flower. Go home happy/ slightly bitter.
Hey, Im warning you now Mr. Pidgeon, if you leave me with anymore one way trips, where I have to guiltily ask random people IM NOT HANGING OUT WITH for rides home, that exit only asshole of yours will be forcably rethinking it position! That means some latex glove and a lot of grapes!!!
I never washed that damn shirt. Heh, I don't think I ever will.

I love how people seem to feel the need to convey their lives over AIM. I mean it's as if I care you're, "in the shower", or "maccin the dub-melon...eating watermelon in an aesthetically pleasing fashion.)". You have to wonder, are they that full of themselfs as to think that I need to know what they're dong at that very moment.
Even better is the classic, "Im away from my computer right now", as if I couldn't tell from the stupid little idle sign next to your god damn name. People seem to think it nessisary to leave that message on 24hrs a day. If you're not going to be there for an extensive amount of time then don't leave your IM on. Do you leave your phone connected to someone for 5 hours just in case you might want to talk to them at some point in the day again?
Log online if you are planing to BE online. This insures you're not one of THOSE PEOPLE who are constantly online and about as fun to talk to as a box of paper clips, becuase the only thing you can muster in your online comma is "whats up" (spelled in various anoying ebonic ways.)
Point in full, don't be an IM junkie it makes you boring. Don't tell when your taking a shower chances are I don't want to know. Don't write song lyrics in your away messages I already know them and I don't care that your feeling like a melancholy little shit.
This has been a oublic service anouncement, please use AIM responsibly.
$25 Saturday, 6/26/2004 Electric Daisy Carnaval is getting closer! Event location isn't TBA anymore! No, now it's Nos Event Center 689 South E Street, TBA United States, and hopfully permitted; though I think with a 10,000+ people event you'd have to be an E-tard not to.... uh oh... haha nevermind. All i have to do now is geta ride. PIdg sure as hell won't drive that far.... I sure as hell wouldn't let him drive me that far. I'm sure Preston's car has been full for a while, not that I would want to drive long distances with him either. No worries, it's all still exciting.
Last night wasn't exactly an adventure, but it was awsome to just hang out with people again.
I think I'll go see a movie or somthing tonight since im off the hook for everything else.
Poor Mr. Pidg, Tiesto's playing eveywhere but here Geogia, Texas, even fucking Ohio. Hahahah, awwww.
Ignorance is astounding.
|Wednesday, May 12th, 2004
|If you love something set it free... hope it comes back.
|Yeah, I think sex is, in fact, a sport.
|Tuesday, May 11th, 2004
|Oh yeah I forgot. When I woke up this morning I spaced when getting dressed and then when I went to go see the acupuncturist I realised I was wearing panties with the virgin mary's face on the crotch, hahahah, a lil awkward. I hope she got a kick out of my ass, haha OOPS, it said "Hail Mary".
I was very sick last week. My lovley UTI turned into a kidney infection. I now have a shit load of work to make up, which isn't making me happy. I don't know what to do for my Japanese project, and what's more, I don't know what my options are.
Other things are good. Being back at school is nice, with the people and what not. I supose im going to start clearing out old stuff. I dont much think its old but aparntly my room isnt properly reprisentive of who I am as a person, according to my dad. I don't mind making things simpiler, I wouln't mind getting a new lamp or whatnot, and changing my selfs. Though I do have a large prroblem with the idea that I should get rid of my shelf of.. eh.. 'stuff'. I think it's very charisteristic of me, and well it's just cool. I have 15 year old plastic smerfs and little harliquins. Clutter or no, I want to keep these things and keep them displayed in one place.
On that not stuft animals are hard to get ride of. When I think of them it seems like a lot, but when I look at them these isnt that many and well.... I don't know. I feel almost guilty getting ride of some of these things. I think thats a problem for me, I feel guilty about giving away things purley becuase I don't want whoever gave it to me... no matter how long ago to find out. Even really old stuft animals I've had since i was a little kid, I feel guilty to the stuft animals. Unreasonable as that may be.
I probably shouldn't bitch, but I feel guilty about a lot more then maybe I should. I feel bad if I tell someone something they don't want to hear... which gets me inot trobble becuase I end up in awkward situations invovling multiple people who I wanted to please equally, and never made up any decisions.
I really wish school was a bit more structured in reguard to, you sit in a class room, take notes, and complete assaignments based on the notes you take. I don't much like all this peer team work and group work. No reason I supose, I like to do my own work.
I went and saw an acurpuncturist today, last time. I went last week when I was feeling shit, it helped. Im not sure what it did today but doesn't hurt I supose and im not paying.
I'd like to see a movie this weekend, it was a good idea proposition Alex. I don't have any money though which is now an on going problem for me and a bit dissapointing. I asked Oliver to pick me up another application, I would really like to start working somewhere. Though a saw a wonderful report of the news last Saturday, this is the work recorded year for 'teen' employment in years. Aparatly no one wants to hire the 16 year olds. I wish i wasn't quiet so, um, intimidated by strangers. I feel very uneasy trign to ask for applications much less giving them back. I think I've turned in two. The one the lady said shifts were 6 hours long and I told her I would gladly start over summer, though I have my doubts she'll even call me back. Jimbo's just sent me a letter, though I know they don't want under 18. I supose technicly I'm not above anything so I could just go down to that Albertson's, though mabe I'll ask across the street at Von's. That Von's has no one come in and it's small. That wouldn't be bad. Though I would like to work somewhere small. I don't know. Whatever. I talk to much, even online.

How lame.
Didn't get out of the house all day.
Aprantly, was just kidding myaelf I was ganna have fun out on the... where the hell is you go around here.
I was completly confident someone would have some free time and i could just get free a lil.
Alex had SAT's this morning then went directly off the park all day to hang w/ the polio hobit while he dropped, I forgot he was ganna do that.
Which is cool, I hope the hobit had fun.
Um, so i sat on my bed.. watching dazed and confused, which I don't think is very good at all... actully I think it's far to long.
I did some homework while watching, and I just don't like it.
Alex called about.. I duno like 4:30, told me he was coming over.
That was awsomely nice but I would have rather meet him somewhere, oh well.
No worries though he got here about 5:30, they got side-tracked at Mike's house or somthing.
So I watching Dazed and Confused again with Alex, which is cool, I don't blame, him he was tired and didn't want to walk anywhere.
I called uncle Pidgeon and he said he was down in Oceanside and that he would call when he got back and pick us up, but I think he got side tracked too.
He said they found someone who had dissapered for a while which is pretty cool.
Alex left at about 9:00 I guess. Thank you for comming over.
Im still sitting on my bed, by the time Dazed and Confuzed was over it was to late to go anywhere.
and Wow, it's 10:00 already.
I want to go out somehwere tomrrow, but Alex said he can't so I guess I'll just go over there.
I don't know if I can go with Jackie next weekend. My Mom said it was fine, but I my Dad will probably will want to spend time there.
They only play really out dated stuff on TV on Saturday, which is dissapointing...
I wish I had made more of an effort out of my day instead on just relying on other people to fit me in.
It's really dissapointing because I rarely get the freedom of staying home on the weekends.
Oh well...
|Sunday, April 25th, 2004
|Last night was a good enough first shoot, aside from the sidewalk specticle afterwards. Im tired, and im very thankful for the monkeys of the world. Thank you monkeys, thank you bunnies, thank you bunnie-monkey.
|Saturday, April 17th, 2004
Damn. Time to slide out some paper and thoose Neupastels. I havn't touched them for weeks. I havn't done anything for to long, crazy. I walked into Aaron Brother's over the weekend and wandered into their art section. And now I just remembered to ask Alex what his choice medium is, I think at the moment it's markers or at least it seems that way. Anyway it really, I duno, refreshing. Made me wanna, well lets be honest spend money supplies, but on top of that use them too. I really want to buy Alex a good set of those Prisma Color marker, he's so talanted, makes me almost jealous that I won't ever have thoose ideas sprouting out of my head. Ah well im happy for him, I hope he uses it at least. Okay now im ganna go find all these said items and play.

Some peoples level of close minded arrogance concerns me greatly. The unwillingness to take the side of your opposition for only a moment is detering to belife of just in my life. Not that it matters, people are stubborn, I'm stuborn. It's not in them to change their view for anything, because defeat isn't something anyone takes lightly, save maybe the Dali Lama. I note this stubron streak more with young people, don't get me wrong there's a great amount of adults who act the exsaclt same way, but it seems largely a trait of young people.
I had a good night last night. Went to Alex's durnign the day and watching Alien 3, somthign I havnt done before. At about 9 we headed to Devon's party goomer par. It was funny, we got there after everyone had, had their freak outs, (yeah i saw that comming,) everyone being Jess and Even. It was interetsing, Jakcie brought some guy named Gram, who at first I thought was a woman, he turned out to be a cool guy though. Went home a few hours later, after hottub fun was had and my pack was empty. But score! I found one today in a lipstick container, hahah go me. Awwww and Even is the cuttest goomer Ive ever seen. Hahaha he was wanderign around ina daze the whole time i was there, started telling me that his brain had told him that people weren't people anymore. It was fun, I walked in and saw him sleeping on the piano, hahahaha, awwwwww. Props to Devon for giving everyone such a good time. ^_~
What else, what else, I've botched a giant pastel I was doing, which is a shame. I was starting to get use to it too. But I did fix some broken jewlery with that soldering iron I bought. Now all my ornate crosses finally look like somthing worth like. Ass end up mofo.
Blurty for Me.

Kristen Bell and Odette Yustman, costars of You Again (out Sept. 24), play ultimate enemies from high school. Behind the scenes, though, they're so close they practically finish each other's sentences in an exclusive interview with iVillage.
Both bombshells -- and sweet, to boot -- you'd bet these young celebs were the queen bees of high school, right? Nope! "We both went to small high schools and graduated with a really small class so everybody was popular," explains Yustman, 25. "There was a small amount of hierarchy but… there weren't crazy bullies," adds Bell, 30.
So where did they get their motivation to play such catty characters? Perhaps they were provoked by fellow castmate Betty White, who Yustman kids is "horrible to work with."
After a few moments of joking -- "She's such a diva," says Bell sarcastically -- the actresses get serious and open up about their admiration for the timeless star. "There's a reason that she's been around forever, and had one of the greatest careers that will ever be had. It's because she's awesome."
Watch our exclusive video (above) to learn the starlets' favorite high school moments, find out if Kristen Bell is a bridezilla, and hear the love advice given by Betty White.
Do you think Betty White is a diva? Chime in below!

As is relatively common around Thanksgiving time, Apple starts offering discounts on some of their items. Not eye popping, but still welcome nonetheless. However, what is less welcome this year is when a spam email starts doing the rounds claiming to be an iTunes gift certificate. The e-mail notifies recipients that they have received an iTunes gift voucher with an attachment that apparently holds an iTunes certificate code.
Of course, as with all malicious spam emails, there is no such code and instead the attachment contains malware (detected by Sophos as Mal/BredoZp-B) which isn't a terribly welcome attachment. Thankfully it only affects Windows systems but it might not be the only scam e-mail purporting to be from Apple that is doing the rounds.
Basic common sense suggests that if an unknown e-mail contains a zip file, you are best not to open it (even if you are a Mac user) and get it checked out first. The only reason that we are mentioning it is because online scams can increase in number at this time of year and innocent users can get caught out.
So here is a gentle reminder to stay cautious with any unfamiliar emails you receive. Oh, and have a fantastically happy and safe Thanksgiving.
