Wild Mercury Sound
The Beastie Boys' "The Mix-Up"
We're partying like it's 1994 here at Uncut this afternoon, because the new Beastie Boys album has arrived. It's called "The Mix-Up", and we're just grooving amiably to track seven, "Off The Grid".
Actually, "Off The Grid" has just stepped up a grade and now sounds rather hefty, by the standards of this record so far. The good news about "The Mix-Up" is that it seems to be a big improvement on the last Beasties album, 2004's "To The Five Boroughs": if you remember, a stiff and uncomfortably worthy attempt to honour the precepts of early hip-hop. The bad news about "The Mix-Up", though, is that it's an all-instrumental album.
At their best, Beasties albums have always felt like a slightly crazed mix'n'match: that sense of a band of hip dilettantes who'll get bored of straight hip-hop after ten minutes and work out their tensions with some bratty hardcore punk, then chill out with a bit of burbling jazz-funk.
"The Mix-Up", like "To The 5 Boroughs", is not an eclectic record. Instead, it consists of 12 workouts, often led by Money Mark at the organ, which locate mellow, goatee-stroking grooves that were probably first traversed 30 or 40 years ago by The Meters. They're jams, I guess, though not quite so sloppy and loose as the ones - in very much the same style - which provided interludes on "Check Your Head" and "Ill Communications". "Suco De Tangerina" chucks a bit of dub into the mix. One song title - "Freaky Hijiki" - has the obligatory healthfood (in this case a quite nice seaweed) reference.
And they're extremely pleasant tunes, being the work of three guys of a certain age and their mates, who've reached an unexpected level of technical competence, want to kick back in the rehearsal room, and clearly feel they have nothing to prove to anyone any more. There's an endearing warmth to tracks like "14th St Break", even when the Beasties are aping that '70s blaxploitation funk.
I guess I was prepared to be disappointed by this record, and, even though it sounds a bit dated and self-indulgent, it's a lot more enjoyable than I expected. I'll try and write something more on it when I've listened to it properly. Still, though, should the Beasties really settle for this, when they can do so much more?

Cataclysm races leaked {WoW}
Aug 10th 2009 4:27PM To those of you who said my previous post was a conspiracy theory because I said that this is a for profit website: It's ran by AOL. They are paid bloggers. How do you pay bloggers if you're not for profit? If you're not out to make money, do you feature masses of ads on your website? Use your brain.
This news may turn out to be true; however, it's posted in an unprofessional way. Like a previous commenter said, they don't reference using anonymous sources enough to make this report credible. It's a "take my word on it" kind of thing.
So, tell me, understanding that AOL is a corporation out to make money why posting an article sure to generate web traffic is out of the question?
And Adam, nothing has been confirmed, not even in *this* article, stating the name of the expansion is Cataclysm. It's rumor, despite any likelihood. This post is laced with crap you hope to be true.

Aug 10th 2009 2:42PM It's not like Adam has ever jumped the gun on a post before. Oh wait, remember that time he told people to grief strangers in BGs to get them kicked and people wound up getting banned? Yeah.
And very nice of you to confirm the name of the expansion too. Even if it turns out to be true, this article offers no reason to believe you other than that it's WoW.com and you have sources.
Guess what, since you can offer nothing on who these sources are or if they're in Blizzard, or.. you know, why this isn't an attempt to drive hits to the website during a time of lull in the MMOsphere at large (gasp), I can get the word of some dude at gamestop and have as much credibility as you.

Space Dust!
This is Space Dust!! The best quilt ever! Above is the "styled room shot". This is my Post No Bills Room or sometimes called the Surplus Art Room. Anywhoo, enough about my pre-teen decorating sensibilities and on to the best quilt ever! I have no idea how I made it, let's just get that out of the way. Every piece is a different shape and of course every single side of every single piece is cut on the bias so that was super fun (sarcasm). Then it had to be appliqued onto the background fabric which is the sweetest little black pin dot in the whole universe.
As soon as I get it bound I will take a flat shot of it but I thought this accidental shot gave you the general idea. If you don't want to wait for me to get around to taking a photo of the entire quilt you will just have to head to Oregon to see it at the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show. I know, it's kinda mean but it's the only way to justify my laziness.
So this is the crazy map that was supposed to tell me what went where. I had this quilt idea pop into my head around three A.M. one morning. During this time of night my mind works a little differently than any other time of day. I remember this seeming extremely logical at the time.
This quilt was fun to make because it didn't need to satisfy anything but my own sense of humor. I used at least one piece from every collection I have designed. There are 116 different fabrics total. Usually I allow Angela, my quilter, to take the reins on the quilting and do her own thing with just general instructions from me. This time was different. I designed the quilting to be an extension of the concept so it had to be exactly how I saw it. I drew in little propulsion engines and how I wanted the smoke to billow out from them. It needed a little ladder because how else would anyone get in it? Angela added a hidden alien which I thought was a nice touch. All in all I think it's pretty awesome.
Did I mention it will be on Display at the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show next month? Where I will be teaching! Come see it, and me!

Jahshie P - Vocals, Mandolin
Shawn Connors - Acoustic Guitar, Vocals, Banjolele
Dave Wiegers - Acoustic Guitar, Vocals
Colleen Mary - Fiddle
Ian Watson - Stand Up Bass
Stevie Lee - Drums
Last False Hope was cooked up by Jahshie P. A long time veteran in the Chicago music scene, best known as the former frontman of Failed Resistance, My Vengeance and later, Neverland. In the past few years, Jahshie P. developed an intense interest in country western and blue grass music, along with his new found passion; the mandolin. Come the Summer of 2009, his new skills began to translate into songs. Quick to the draw, they set forth to include a track for the Outlaw Radio Compilation, volume one. To fill in the blanks, they recruited Producer, Shawn Connors, best known as the drummer of death metal band, Bound And Gagged and later, Jashie P.'s band mate in Neverland, as well as a number of other fly-by-night acts.
To fill in the line-up, Josh brought in former, My Vengeance, bandmates, Steven Stepien on drums and David Wiegers, whom had, also, played guitar and contributed backing in Neverland, to the band. Arcadia Kust on fiddle, Sean Moriarty on guitar and Dave Beneventi on bass from a local irish punk act, The Fisticuffs joined to round out the line-up. This incarnation of the band would go on to record "Two Dollar Pints" for the comp. Over the course, of roughly, the next year, the seven of them would go on to write more songs and play several shows Come September 2010, they re-enlisted Shawn Connors to begin work on the debut EP, "The Shape Of Blue Grass To Come." Four songs, "Giving Up God For Lent," "Drag Me To Hell," "You Drink, You Drive, She Wins" and "Dying and Diseaed" would make the final cut. The recording would feature guest performances by Stza from Star Fucking Hipsters/Leftover Crack/Choking Victim, Rachel Brooke and Jayke Orvis. The EP was released on March 1st through Pint Of Happiness Records and later, distributed by Jahshie P's own, Solitary Records.
After the conclusion of the "The Shape of Blue Grass To Come" sessions, Sean, Arcadia and Dave B. parted ways with the band. Longtime Producer, Shawn Connors, joined to fill the open guitar position and also, contributes back up vocals. A friend of a friend, Colleen Mary, another new comer to the Chicago music scene, joined on fiddle. Scott Farruggia, also from Bound And Gagged and Neverland would join on electric bass. The new line-up was debuted on a track for the Southern Independent, volume one compilation, titled "Guilty Until Proven Innocent." October 2011 saw the release of a versus split with Nellie Wilson & the Hellbound Honeys on Solitary Records. The release included the bands most brutal and bizarre effort to date in "Darkest Days," as well as covers from LP, "Taking the O out of Country." The A-side of the split includes Nellie's renditions of l/f/h tunes "Two Dollar Pints," "Dying and Diseased" and "Outlaw Girls." In May 2012, Ian Booyaki, formerly of Highlonesome, joined the band, on Stand-Up Bass. After over a year of dedicated service, Scott departed from the band to focus on work, but has remained an unofficial eighth member, performing as an understudy on occasion.
Since their inception, l/f/h have performed at the 2011 + 2012 Muddy Roots Music Festivals, as well as the the Big Blowout Fest Music Fest and Car Show, and have shared the stage with the likes of Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School Of Medicine, Star Fucking Hipster, World Inferno Friendship Society, The Business, Joe Buck, Bob Wayne, Those Poor Bastards, Hackensaw Boys, Slim Chance & the Can't Hardly Playboys, Hillbilly Casino, .357 String Band, Hellbound Glory, The Goddamn Gallows, Rachel Brooke, Viva Le Vox, The Sawyer Family, Highlonesome, Shovels and Rope, Old Red Shed, Mikey Classic of the Goddamn Gallows, Six Gun Britt, and James Hunnicutt. They were also, named the Best Country Band by the Chicago Reader "Best of Chicago 2011 + 2012" reader's polls. They are, currently, crafting new material for their debut full length, which they are hoping to finish by the end of 2012. The infamous, Shooter Jennings is slated to produced.

The top 25 places we think should be on every traveler's radar this year.
MoreCentral and North Georgia offer an abundance of dining options from hole-in-the-wall barbecue joints to upscale eateries serving sophisticated cuisine. The culinary specialty is Southern food, of course, and a heaping plate of fried chicken washed down with sweet tea is a must. Aside from traditional local fare, plenty of other options are available in larger towns like Athens and Macon. In the
North Georgia mountains, you'll find quite a bit of culinary sophistication at many of the charming little bistros on the town squares and near the scenic wineries that dot the Wine Highway.

Pink - everyone would be saying I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN! so i'm just going to write... Pink your awesome! sing songs about the real world and what can actually happen to ppl. I love it.
I'm from Cairns in Far North Queensland and it always seems that the big cities down south and in NSW always seem to get the great artist's like yourself performing. What's wrong with coming to Cairns! i can assure you! that your concert at the Cairns Convention Centre would be MASSIVE and oh course sold out! i know a lot of girls who are requesting this as there x-mas presents and birthday presents because there are alot of ppl getting touched by this recession and parents getting made redundant..... Not just here, but EVERYWHERE.... I'm happy to pay the money for the concert, but flights as well just to get somewhere, we wont get any change out of $1000 for flights and tickets, then you have accommodation on top of that.
I'm not complaining about the price of the tickets, as i'm happy to pay the money to get to see an actual artist who can perform live, and sound freaking awesome! not like britney who mimes everything. Again maybe you should consider coming to the far north! i'm sure we can accommodate yourselves and your band and crew members! even with a beautiful full day reef cruise to the great barrier reef. The tropical North - you will LOVE!
Think about it. but i'll still be attending the one in Brisbane in July and also if you do decide to come to Cairns i will be attending that as well...
ALL THE BEST! and keep up the great work, with your own lyrics!

Is now the right time to make the move?
Hand didn't do so well yesterday and he's struggled with his control over the last few outings --we can't give away games by walking in runs!
I also don't like the idea of Penny starting every fifth day so I think the Marlins should give Heaney another chance.
He's had a few good outings in AAA and his changeup has improved based on what I've read recently. He needs the major league experience. Plus it would be nice to have a lefty in the rotation.

Print Products Negligible Factor in Household Climate Impact, Study Finds
March 25, 2011According to calculations, the carbon that remains bound to a printed paper product, such as a book, after five years reduces the carbon footprint caused by the production stage by approximately 5 percent. After 100 years, the drop is approximately 75 percent. In the study, the lifecycle of books was followed from the sourcing of raw materials to the retailer's warehouse. The last stage of the lifecycle (recycling and waste management) was excluded from the examination.
The contribution of newspapers, books and other paper products to the climate impacts of consumption by Finnish households in 2005 was small (approximately 1 percent). The biggest climate impacts of consumption by Finnish households were attributable to housing (28 percent), food products (16 percent), and transport (13 percent).
A lifecycle assessment is a useful way for evaluating the potential environmental impacts of products comprehensively. The most efficient way to reduce environmental impacts is to lower the consumption of energy and fuels at different stages of the lifecycle. Other important ways to reduce environmental impacts include reducing the amount of raw materials and using materials more efficiently. Readers can reduce climatic effects by sorting their waste more thoroughly, thereby reducing the number of print products that are taken to landfills with household waste. No previous generic lifecycle assessments related to print products have been carried out in Finland.
The three-year project was commissioned by the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation and coordinated by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. The project was carried out in collaboration with the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE), the Federation of Finnish Media Industry, and Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, as well as several printing houses and organisations involved in the print media value chain. Apart from the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation, the project was sponsored by the Graphic Industry Research Foundation of Finland (GTTS), Metsäliitto Group, Myllykoski Corp., Stora Enso Group, and UPM-Kymmene Corp.

Hello, Happy to have just learned of the Never MT from some GWers. Would love to try it, but I use the EO soap (sold at Whole Foods, multi-purpose, smells great). The EO soap is very thick, and the quality of the soap gets a little weird when diluted with water. Wondering of anyone has firsthand experience using EO with the Never MT. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Madeline, I don't have a Never MT yet but as soon as the kitchen goes in I will be ordering one. I will have to look into the EO soap but I don't have any experience with it. |
- Posted by Madeline616 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 1, 13 at 13:36
Hi Holly, I just ordered the Never MT. They have a buy 3 get 1 free deal, so I'll give 2 to my mom and hopefully successfully use 2 in my own kitchen sinks with the EO soap. The EO soap is great--comes in Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint. It's an all purpose soap, so it's great to have an a hand and dish soap, both in one dispenser. |
Great idea. I was thinking this evening that I should have two dispensers. That is a great deal that you got. Does Wholefoods have an on line store as well? |
- Posted by michoumonster (My Page) on Tue, Apr 2, 13 at 11:40
madeline, i never heard of eo soap before. but i have been looking for a hand/dish soap for my kitchen also. i tried Method but found it a bit drying on hands. i see they sell eo soap on amazon also. can you tell me which eo soap product you use? there is one that is a shampoo/body wash and another that is a multipurpose household cleaner. can you use the household cleaner for hands also or maybe the hand soap for dishes? thanks for the advice! |
- Posted by Madeline616 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 2, 13 at 17:55
Holly-kay- When I buy EO online, I buy it from Amazon. I've gotten good deals on multi-packs in the past. Michoumonster- It's the multipurpose household cleaner that I find so useful. It's really versatile--I have one dispenser at each of my kitchen sinks, and I have EO in each dispenser. I use it for both dishes and hands. It smells great. I like the peppermint for the kitchen. I'd also like the lemon, but I have marble counters and I'm paranoid about any citrus cleansers (potential etching). The lavender smells great, too, but I use that in the bathrooms. |
Thanks for your answer Madeline. I buy a lot from Amazon so I am going to hop on over and check it out! |
eo soaps has its own website, and it appears that you can buy larger sizes online. |
- Posted by michoumonster (My Page) on Tue, Apr 2, 13 at 19:35
thanks madeline! i will have to try it out! |
- Posted by Madeline616 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 2, 13 at 19:35
Yes, the large size is the way to go. The current sellers on Amazon have the 32 ounce refill size of the all purpose for about $3 less per bottle than the EO site, with free shipping. |

The Stranger Isolation Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Quote #31
As if that blind rage has washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, I that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much life myself – so like a brother, really – I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again. For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate. (2.5.26)
Whereas earlier Meursault felt isolation from the world, he now feels kinship with it. Because he is indifferent, and so is the world, they find kinship in their indifference.
People who Shmooped this also Shmooped...

Water/Complex Carbon Found in Distant Solar System
Maybe the evidence for life is obvious! (210 comments)
In the form of red dwarves. In the 1960's, a well respected russian astronomer known as N Kardashev came up with the Kardashev system of determining alien civilisations. Kardashev Type I Civilisation. One which has utilised all the resources of a planet. Kardashev Type II Civilisation. One which has utilised all the resources of a star. ie, a Dyson sphere. Kardashev Type III Civilisation. One which has utilised all the resources of an entire galaxy. Probably the rarest and most powerful. The scary thing is that a Dyson Sphere would look almost exactly like a red dwarve star. It could well be that many phenomena we see in space and interpret as natural phenomena are in fact megascale engineering projects of distant civilisations. Another possibility is that these distant civilisations use Matrioshka Brains, big computers in the form of Dyson Spheres, surrounding a star. Everybody would be uploaded into this environment, and would become as gods. Problem is, we are pumping out radiation all the time, from our television transmitters and our mobile phones and so on. It is like the cheeping of a new born bird, we are alone and naked and letting everyone know where we are. There is no reason to suppose that such civilisations would be friendly. I think we should take enormous and difficult steps to quiet down out interstellar emissions. It is time to start playing interstellar politics. More info can be found here, a very interesting page on this subject by an esteemed author. -- Trust in God, but tie your camel -- Old Persian proverb.

"My mother didn't try to stab my father until I was six," begins Alda's irresistible story. The son of a popular actor and a loving but mentally ill mother, he spent his early childhood backstage in the erotic and comic world of burlesque and went on, after early struggles, to achieve extraordinary success in his profession.
Yet Never Have Your Dog Stuffed is not a memoir of show-business ups and downs. It is a moving and funny story of a boy growing into a man who then realizes he has only just begun to grow.
It is the story of turning points in Alda's life, events that would make him what he is, if only he could survive them.
From the moment as a boy when his dead dog is returned from the taxidermist's shop with a hideous expression on his face, and he learns that death can't be undone, to the decades-long effort to find compassion for the mother he lived with but never knew, to his acceptance of his father, both personally and professionally, Alda learns the hard way that change, uncertainty, and transformation are what life is made of, and true happiness is found in embracing them.
Never Have Your Dog Stuffed, filled with curiosity about nature, good humor, and honesty, is the crowning achievement of an actor, author, and director, but surprisingly, it is the story of a life more filled with turbulence and laughter than any Alda has ever played on the stage or screen.
©2005 Alan Alda; (P)2005 Books on Tape, Inc.
"A brief but entertaining autobiography tempered with humility and a depth rarely found in celebrity memoirs." (Publishers Weekly)
"Wish I Had Known"
I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this audiobook. I enjoyed the story very much, but wish I had known there is another version read by Alan Alda himself. Although Marc Cashman is a goood reader, I could here Mr Alda's style in the prose and kept imagining what it would be like to hear him read it. The material needs his unique way of delivering his lines to bring the story to life.
"A revealing and honest memoir"
If you are expecting a tantalizing tell all, you will be sorely disapointed. Alda is merciful to his famous friends, mentioning them only to praise them. He is not nearly so kind to himself. He is honest in his portrait of his early life and the mental illness his mother suffered. All of the poignant episodes of this well loved actor's life are handled with grace and the famous Alda humor. I only wish that more time had been spent discussing M*A*S*H, which was perhaps his greatest contribution to popular culture. However all in all, this is a well done and witty memoir.
"My purchase of this book was a bit of a mistake."
I wasn't reading as carefully as I should have been, before I hit the Audible purchase button. This is the version Not personally read by Alan Alda, so it was a bit of a shock when I started listening to the book last night. It is interesting so far, but it was a disappointment, as I am a very big fan of Mr. Alda's work and love to hear his voice. So, why are there two different narrations? I should have just borrowed the book from the local public library where I could imagine Mr. Alda's voice reading to me.
"Made my commute easier to take"
I have an hour commute each way to and from work. This was my first audiobook and, for the first time, I couldn't wait to get in my car to commute to/from work. I didn't mind the traffic jams, because it allowed me to listen to this story longer.
I probably would never have bought this in hardcopy book (I tend to be restless and can't sit still long enough to read), but I'm glad I picked this one as my first audiobook. I really enjoyed the story!
"Sometimes hilarious memoir"
Alan Alda has written an interesting memoir about a remarkable childhood. It's hard to imagine a childhood so alien, so removed from mainstream American culture, surrounded by naked women and bawdy vaudeville comics, spent on trains rattling around the country in the middle of the night, from one seedy venue to the next. I really got a feel for the experience listening to this book. What I find really compelling, however, is the self-deprecating humor sprinkled throughout the book. As a Hollywood memoir Alda is refreshingly honest and introspective about his talents, his intellect, and his ego. His frustration and frequent anger towards his mentally ill mother is presented very candidly. And he doesn't take himself too seriously. At times this is laugh out loud hilarious.
I do wish Alda had read the memoir himself, however, because he has such a distinctive writing voice, and his voice itself is so familiar from all those years on television, that it's frankly weird hearing someone else's voice telling his life in the first person. The only way I can describe the reader of this book's voice quality is, if Martin Sheen was really really gay, he'd sound like the guy that read this book. That's not a slur, just an observation. I'm gay myself.
"Alan is a better actor than writer."
This book was OK, but definitely not a must read. The narration (although not Alan) was pretty good. The story itself was a little boring at times though. I'm a big fan of Alan the actor, but I don't care too much for his writing.
"Why didn't Alan Alda narrate it?"
I mean really... He would have done a thousand times better job reading his own life. Not to mention adding the reality this book deserves.
The reader of this book tried to imitate Alan Alda's voice, and it was very annoying. I had a hard time getting through the book because of the narration. The book itself was disappointing, as I believe Alan Alda has much more depth than this book portrays.
"It Seems Everyone Bought This Product By Accident"
The book is a fantastic memoir - funny, clever and engaging. But reading through the reviews, it looks like everyone here bought this book assuming that Alan Alda would be narrating it. Including me. Don't buy this version. The one where Alda reads it himself is infinitely better.
"Great Book with one Major Flaw"
I have been a fan of Alan Alda for years, I have enjoyed his work and I have wanted to know more about his life. This book was all that I could hope for and more. I learned not only things about Alda, but things about myself! I saw myself in his life and for a time almost forgot that it was his life I was listening about!
The only flaw in this book is a major one though. Alan Alda DOESN'T read this book! Marc Cashman reads it instead. Cashman is a great reader, and I would be glad to hear him in another book, however, this is the story of Alan Alda and his life - he should read it! There were several spots in the book where Cashman almost becomes Alan Alda, but he never quite makes it. I don't think he quite understood what it meant to be Alan Alda and it shows through his performance.
I can't speculate why Alda doesn't read this book, however, it does clearly hurt it. If he had read it, it might have been one of my all-time favorite books that I have purchased on Audible. Sadly, as it stands, it is only a good book. Which saddens me because I can see the potential for greatness.
"would have been better read by the author"
Charming biography, but autobiography as an audio book needs to be read by the author, otherwise it loses something of its authenticity. I missed Alan Alda's distinctive voice on this.
"Could have been amazing. Sad shame."
Totally not impressed with the narrator. UGH. Could have been amazing.
I would have given it no stars if i could have. I want a refund!
"Read it don't listen"
Really enjoyed the biography of Alda which I found facinating. The book was full of humour and anecdotes but these were ruined by the poor timing and monotonous sounding voice of the narrator. Shame Alda had not chosen to read his own book.
"Never a dull moment...."
In my opinion a book comes much more to life in the audio version ..
I enjoyed the whole book. Never a dull moment.
He is a spendid narrator. Top marks to MC
It was a very touching book. Hearing about his mothers illness and his own insecurity in acting.
"Like An Old Friend"
Whatever I was doing, driving, commuting or with feet up this was really like sitting in a comfortable old armchair, with a nice fine Malt or Cognac and just being taken on a journey in which you could have been there.
Nothing earth-shattering ever happens, no impossible crises, dramas or cliff-hanger-chapter-endings. Instead we role gently through some ups and downs of everyday life - getting close to bad times but then being swept back to good memories.
And so it's a peaceful refuge, happy endings just round the corner and with the energy and amiability of the persona of Alda that you see, whether promoting science or being an alter ego.
So, don't get me wrong, a lot has happened in Alda's life, but as a read, or an audio book, it is a gently rolling soap opera that pleases and delights.
It was over all too soon.
His cadence was just like listening to the author
"And Other Things I've Learned"!

Tomorrow, we're supposed to be around 100 F.. Not that dry, wussy southwestern style heat, noooo, it'll be HUMID along mid-Atlantic coastal plain. How hot is too hot for you? As long as it's DRY, I can take the upper 90's and work in the garden or around the house. I'll be INSIDE tomorrow. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We hit 99 on the 2nd with a heat index of about 104. That was plent hot for me. |
The perception of heat is a very funny thing. I've been in the Florida Keys in July and have felt cooler there than in NYC at the same time of the year. Down there, there is a nearly constant breeze and incessant, cooling thunder showers while in urban areas of the North, the heat is just absorbed by tar and asphalt and lingers into the stiffening night with neither breeze nor respite. |

It's going up to 98 degrees tomorrow in the Bronx, heat index: 104! YIKES! |
We will be at 98 too. Don't care about the heat index. Today at only 92 temps inside where I work hit 108. I'm guessing we'll hit 110 plus inside tomorrow. |

hot here in Central Virginia as well... upper 99 the forecasted high with heat index around 110. Now that is a hot and humid day!! |
truck thermo said 107 on my way home yesterday. Next 7 days highs are going to be above 100. |

They lowered our high temperature for today from 99F to 94F. Right now its in the upper 80s and its 10:30 am! |
73 here at 12:30 July 13th. We are only supposed to hit about 78 today, 80, tom, 82 Friday, 90 Saturday. A nice little break. All of my windows are open and it is supposed to drop into the 50s tonight. |

After reading a couple of threads about the evils of vinyl siding over the old wood siding I decided to have a little looksie under my vinyl. We have a window that was sided over but not recovered from the inside so I could kinda see from there. We definitely have wood siding under the vinyl and it appears to be green.
No idea how long the vinyl's been up, it's in pretty good condition, it's just a hideous colour, cheap looking and doesn't go with the brick that is also on the house. Can someone point me in the direction of the process of removing the siding, risk vs benefits and what I'd do with the wood siding if we exposed it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I suggest checking the posts and forums at oldhouseweb.com. Many other old home owners have gone through what you are facing and have posted their experiences. Good luck and hope you get rid of the vinyl! |
- Posted by mom2lilenj (My Page) on Wed, Jul 9, 08 at 9:43
I didn't do it yet with my house, but I did look into what we need to do. Taking vinyl siding off is easy, I've done it by myself, then make sure all the nails are out. Fill in the nail holes with putty and sand flush. Now the hard part, you will probably have to come up with some window trim and corner boards or whatever woodwork was stripped when your house was prepped for vinyl. Depending on if and how your windows were replaced you may need to get some siding too or you may need to reinstall the windows now that you don't have the same wall depth. Then prep for paint (scrape, sand or strip old loose paint), prime if needed and repaint. I can't imagine any risks involved, but again I haven't actually done it yet. |

Dec 15th 2008 7:38PM You should care less about your precious meters and more about what is actually keeping your raid vertical.
Blizzard designs raid encounters with widespread unpredictable AOE raid damage, so we need raid healing to counteract that. It doesn't matter who is doing how much healing, as long as your raid is coming through alive.

Dec 15th 2008 1:57AM Also, I should add that the real problems with these nerfs is that if Blizzard continues to design raids the way they do high end guilds will have no choice but to do what they did in TBC and stack shamans to provide AOE healing, at the expense of other healing classes.

Russian baby survives crash landing after being thrown from car and almost run over
We've all seen our fair share of crazy Russian crash videos, but this shocking collision takes things to the next level of sheer stupidity. Based on the dash cam video, the driver and passengers of the silver SUV are all lucky to be alive, including their small child who was violently thrown out of the car during the crash.
The failed attempt to dangerously overtake another car on the narrow snow-covered road was only inches away from becoming deadly. Miraculously, the ejected young toddler survives the crash and narrowly avoids being run over by the on-coming transport trucks after landing in their path. Hopefully this clip serves as a grave reminder to always buckle up and use child safety seats correctly... or at all.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Clinton: U.S. Not Closing the Door on Talks With Iran
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says the Obama administration
is not closing the door on possible negotiations with Iran over its
nuclear program, despite intransigence from Tehran.
WASHINGTON -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday the
Obama administration remains open to negotiating with Iran over its
nuclear program, despite intransigence from Tehran.
Speaking to reporters at the State Department, Clinton said it is clear
that administration efforts to engage Iran in talks to restrain its
nuclear program in 2009 fell short. President Obama had said that if
Iran did not respond positively to his overtures by the start of 2010 he
would move toward tougher sanctions.
Clinton said the administration is consulting with other nations about
new sanctions, but she stressed that this does not mean the
administration is abandoning its effort to start a dialogue with Iran.
There is no hard-and-fast deadline for Iran to respond, she said.
"We've avoided using the term `deadline' ourselves," she said. "That's
not a term we have used because we want to keep the door to dialogue
open. But we've also made it clear we can't continue to wait and we
cannot continue to stand by when the Iranians themselves talk about
increasing their production of highly enriched uranium" and taking other
steps toward possible production of nuclear weapons.
Iran denies that its nuclear program is intended to make a nuclear bomb.
At the White House, deputy press secretary Bill Burton echoed Clinton's
remarks, saying, "The door is of course still open for Iran to do the
right thing and live up to its international obligations."
He said the administration will "be going through the appropriate
process to try to get them to the table."
Burton said presidential aides will meet this week to discuss next steps
on Iran policy.
Clinton declined to discuss any details of prospective new sanctions
against Iran.
"I can't appropriately comment on the details of those discussions now,
except to say that our goal is to pressure the Iranian government,
particularly the Revolutionary Guard elements, without contributing to
the suffering of the ordinary Iraqis, who deserve better than what they
currently are receiving."
Clinton also said the administration is appalled by Iranian government
crackdowns on street protests.
The opposition movement began as a raw and angry voter backlash after
last June's disputed presidential election, but has evolved into a
possibly deeper and more ingrained fight against Iran's Islamic leaders.
At least eight people died in clashes between security forces and
opposition supporters across Iran late last month, including a nephew of
opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi. It was the worst bloodshed since
the height of the unrest immediately after the June re-election of
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"We are deeply disturbed by the mounting signs of ruthless repression
that they are exercising against those who assemble and express
viewpoints that are at variance with what the leadership of Iran wants
to hear," Clinton said.

Iran welcomes Clinton comments on nuclear talks
Tuesday, January 5, 2010; 5:22 AM
TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran says it welcomes Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton's comments that there is no hard-and-fast deadline
for starting nuclear dialogue.
Clinton says the Obama administration remains open to negotiating
with Iran over its nuclear program, though will move toward tougher
sanctions if Iran does not respond positively. She stressed there
was no hard-and-fast deadline for Iran.
Responding Tuesday, Iran's foreign ministry welcomed the comments
"We share the same idea with her. Deadlines are meaningless,"
spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast says.
The U.S. and other western allies accuse Iran of working to develop
nuclear weapons. Iran denies the charge and says its program is for
peaceful purposes.

Small machine for a lot of money. Design could be better. Hard to get the dirty water bottle off and think the rubber bung will eventually tear and rot. does a reasonable job but still prefer a squeegy and wash leather. won't go through the hinge opening of a double glazed unit so can't clean the outside upstairs.

UK-based Block has launched its new perpetual calendars that come in blue, grey and red colors.
The calendars are perfect for those who are tired of buying a new calender every year. This one does not discriminate against time and is absolutely everlasting.
The debatable perk that comes with it is you have to be on top of your dates in order to use it. It is manually changed and will work grandly for those who don't have a problem starting morning habits: changing the date of this will certainly become one.
Regardless of eye examination chart-looking surface, the calendar is cute, modern and affordable. This especially true considering that once you buy it, it will be the only one you will ever need.

Cube™ Encoder/Decoder pairing is the ideal solution for turnkey on-set video monitoring. Use the Cube Encoder to stream HD video over WiFi, then connect the Cube Decoder to a small hand-held monitor or a professional field monitor to receive the signal and view video up to 1080p24. Cube™ decoders are available in both HDMI and HD-SDI versions.
Livestream Native Integration Cube™ integrates natively with Livestream providing an elegant and easy to use turnkey solution for streaming live video to the Internet. Users simply enter their Livestream account information into Cube™'s user interface, find a broadband uplink, and begin broadcasting. Livestream has free add supported as well as premium accounts. A free 30-day subscription to Livestream Premium is included with every Cube™ encoder purchase. Cube Encoders The Cube family are the world's first camera-top streaming HD video devices. The family includes six encoder models and two matching form-factor decoders. The Cube Encoder streams HD video over WiFi or wired Ethernet. The Cube Encoder creates its own wireless (ad hoc) network, and streams HD video directly to a Cube Decoder, a computer or laptop, a server, or a mobile device such as an iPad with no other networking equipment required. To extended your broadcast range, Cube Encoder can join an infrastructure network by using a wireless router and stream over a LAN or WAN. Experienced network users can use Cube to stream video over the Internet. Simple Setup Cube's web interface features a Setup Wizard to simplify configuration. After connecting video and powering-up Cube, create a network, logon to Cube's web interface, complete the Setup Wizard, and begin streaming video. Advanced Compression Cube uses H.264 High Profile (Level 4.1) video compression, which is the most advanced compression algorithm in the world today, and it features a built-in scaler to convert from 1080 to 720, 480 or 240 resolutions. Users can choose a resolution and target bit rate based on the availability of IP bandwidth. Typical bit rates for HD are between 2-4Mbps, and SD bit rates are typically sub-1Mbps. Cube's end-to-end latency is approximately 1/8-1/2 second.* Small Size Cube is tiny (about the size of a deck of cards), uses only 2.5W of DC power, and weighs only 7 ounces, and mounts easily to a rail system, cage, hotshoe, or camera baseplate. Cube's line-of-sight WiFi range is approximately 300 feet when used with a high quality WiFi access point. Cube has been tested extensively with RED ONE, Arri Alexa, Panavision Genesis, Canon 5Dii, Canon 7D, various handi-cams and more.

i camera iPhone 4 Case Takes Things a Little too Far
I've seen some cases and vinyl skins for the iPhone that attempt to make it look a little like a camera, and even ones that have some practical value, but I think this new case is just a little too over the top.
The i camera Case from Chinese accessory maker Hashy not only makes your iPhone look like a point-and-shoot digital camera, it craps it up by making it just as bulky and ugly. And no, that lens sticking out of the back serves absolutely no purpose. Apparently, part of the heft of this case is so you can use it as a stand for your iPhone, but I just think it makes it look cheap.
I suppose if you really want to disguise your iPhone, you could buy one of these, but I think I'm going to stick with the original design as Apple intended it.
If you absolutely must crap up your iPhone with one of these, you can grab one over at Strapya for ¥1344 (~$18 USD).
