QEMU: a Multihost, Multitarget Emulator
QEMU may lack the graphical configuration and VM setup tools of commercial programs like VMware, but I have found it to be an excellent solution to the I-need-to-run-just-one-Windows-application problem. Judging from the comments I've read on the QEMU forum and on the #qemu channel on the Freenode IRC network, QEMU is well suited to solving many other problems. Give it a try, I think you'll like it.

qvm86 is officially (?) obsolete
From qvm86's project site on Savannah a post from the admin:
qvm86 is obsolete
posted by pbrook, Sunday 01/21/07 at 16:16 UTC - 4 replies
InnoTek have released their VirtualBox code under the GPL.
As far as I'm concerned this obsoletes qvm86, and I see no point continuing development. I recommend anyone interested in qvm86 use VirtualBox ...
QEMU is alive
Actually, QEMU and VirtualBox are different products.
VirtualBox has a very nice GUI and is available both for Linux and Windows.
On the other hande, I find using QEMU very simple ;-)
BTW, great magazine article.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Juventus keen on Kuranyi
08 Apr 2010 - 07:39:36
Schalke striker Kevin Kuranyi has failed to rule out a move away from the Gelsenkirchen outfit at the end of the current campaign, following media reports in Germany and Italy.
The ousted Germany international frontman has been in fine form this season, netting 18 league goals to date, helping Felix Magath's men challenge Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga table.
But reports in both countries suggest Serie A outfit Juventus are ready to open their chequebook and take the 28-year-old on board when the season draws to a close.
On the rumours, Kuranyi said: "My agents are doing their work and everything is going via them.
"I can only say that I haven't made a decision about my future yet. Everything is still possible."

Who can be romantically linked to Kid Rock...and how closely?
Born Free (2010)
Born Free is American artist Kid Rock's eighth studio album. It released on November 16, 2010 with the title track being its lead single. The album is a rock and roll collaboration produced by Rick Rubin featuring several high profile artists such as, T.I., Sheryl Crow, and Bob Seger. This is Kid Rock's first album not to feature a Parental Advisory sticker. It is also described as a country music album. Kid Rock described it as "very organic blues-based rock and roll". Cable network TBS used the title track, "Born Free", for its coverage of the 2010 Major League Baseball postseason. It was announced on June 16, 2011 that Born Free was certified Platinum by the RIAA for shipments in excess of one million copies. This gives Kid Rock his sixth Platinum album certification in the US. A Michigan only promotion was released with the album. It was a 4 song EP called "Racing Father Time" it feat. the songs The Midwest Fall and Forty as well has the demo of Slow My Roll and a remix of Lonely Road Of Faith.
A lot of people told me that I`m committing musical suicide with my sound.
If it looks good, you`ll see it. If it sounds good, you`ll hear it. If it`s marketed right, you`ll buy it. But...if it`s real, you`ll feel it.
Kid Rock suffers a loss in 2000, when close friend and bandmate Joe C dies of Celiac Disease.
Kid Rock released his follow up to Devil Without A Cause with Cocky in 2001. It wasn`t as successful as the previous album, but found a new audience in the single "Picture", a duet with Sheryl Crow that infuses country with rock.

Few places on earth can trade as robustly in travel fantasy fulfillment as Rome. Grandeur and grit meet in its narrow, shade-dappled streets and in the patrician stretches of its piazzas. Its pearlescent light can tease a sacred beauty out of even the most profane, tourist-thronged scene, and its citizens can turn as banal an act as taking out the garbage into a master class in insouciant comportment (the word for which, incidentally, is sprezzatura—an inimitably Italian quality that Romans seem to have a corner on). Most inspiring of all, the appeal of the timeless and the electric draw of the now merge more dynamically here than in any other European city. Neighborhoods in the heart of town—the ones we thought we knew—have been reinvigorated with stylish hotels and boutiques. And as in places like London and New York, where the outer boroughs are the new centers of gravity, districts farther afield are being transformed by a creative group of chefs and shop owners. This is your guide to the city's sweet spots, where tradition and innovation are in perfect balance.
Centro Storico
Lots of people recognize the Via Giulia in photos, since it's one of the most photogenic streets in Rome; probably not quite as many know it firsthand, tucked as it is into a curve of the Tiber, away from the more heavily trod reaches of the Centro Storico. Fewer still are familiar with its illustrious pedigree: The half-mile-long, ruler-straight stretch of sanpietrini stones was constructed in 1508 by Donato Bramante, on the order of Pope Julius II, as one of Renaissance Rome's first major urban-renewal projects. Lined with sixteenth- and seventeenth-century noble palaces and divided by an ivy-covered arch designed by Michelangelo, it passes through the ancient districts of Ponte and Regola. It is tranquil, beautiful, and seriously posh.
It's here that the architect Antonio Girardi has opened D.O.M, a 24-room hotel in a former Claretian monastery. The building's exterior is typical Roman pastel-washed prettiness, but inside the palette is all whites, grays, and browns punctuated by rich linens and velvets, brass, and leather furniture. Beneath the coffered ceilings, the walls are inlaid with 400-year-old flagstones from the nearby Church of Santa Lucia del Gonfalone, installed in the nineteenth century and embossed with Latin liturgical exhortations commencing with D.O.M, the acronym for Deo Optimo Maximo ("To God, most good, most great").
The relative calm here belies an unbeatable central location. A hop to the south end of the street and a skip across the Ponte Sisto take you to the Piazza Trilussa, gateway to the humming bars and trendy boîtes of Trastevere. Some of Rome's best shopping is on the neighboring Via dei Pellegrini, Via di Monserrato, and Via dei Banchi Vecchi, where Laura Urbinati sells her signature monochrome bikinis, which can be spotted on beaches from Gallipoli to Capalbio. It's a five-minute stroll to the genial chaos of the Campo dei Fiori and, five minutes beyond that, the Via dei Giubbonari, where you'll find the beloved salumeria/wine bar Roscioli. Everyone extols brothers Alessandro and Pierluigi Roscioli's genius, from the prosciutto-studded bread to what has to be the city's most faultless cacio e pepe. (Perhaps the thing it hasn't perfected is amiable and refined service—but no one in Rome should expect that.) A takeout baccalà sandwich wrapped in paper from Dar Filettaro—a block up from Roscioli, set back from the street in a tiny piazzetta—is a greasier, messier, but equally transporting affair.

Between D.O.M and the Piazza Navona lies the Via del Governo Vecchio. This is Rome's answer to New York's Elizabeth Street in Nolita: home to independent boutiques and a couple of superlative vintage emporiums, where anyone with a hundred-odd euros and a serious inclination to dig can turn up gems like a ladies' Belstaff motorcycle jacket circa 1974. The street's appeal was enhanced with the arrival of jewelry designer Delfina Delettrez—daughter of Silvia Venturini Fendi—who opened her first boutique here in 2011. Delettrez's totemic design motifs—evil eyes, skulls, jewel-encrusted spiders, and attenuated bones recalling reliquaries—are as beautiful as they are provocative. Equally imaginative are the jewelry designs by Paolo Giacomelli and Roberta Paolucci at Iosselliani R-01-IOS, where the pieces incorporate brass and silver into chain mail or tribal feather motifs.
Just around the corner from Iosselliani is D.O.M's primary competition. J.K. Place Roma is the third J.K. hotel from Florentine entrepreneur Ori Kafri. Its 30 rooms are a stylish retrofit of a former school, situated about halfway between the august angles of Richard Meier's Ara Pacis Museum and the sceney Piazza San Lorenzo in Lucina. (Ciampini, at number 29 on the piazza, is your HQ here: perfect morning espresso stop; humming aperitivo scene; best pistachio gelato in town; air-kissing all day.) The hotel's flamboyant style favors neutrals doused with color (corridors are upholstered in turquoise and lime raw silk) and reproduction antiquities rubbing marble shoulders with mid-century designs. The hotel achieved cachet with the Roman movida more or less from the day it opened; it's an ideal place to feel at the center of things.
Wedged between the crumbling monoliths of the Imperial Fora and the staid government palaces of Quirinal Hill, the lemon-and-apricot facades lining Monti's eighteenth-century streets are lovely, if not terrifically distinct from those in many other parts of town. Over the last several years, though, a new generation of adoptive Monticiani have given it an indie vibrancy that's made it a destination in its own right. This is evident in the "kilometer-zero" mantra of Urbana 47, an industrial-chic space serving hyper-locally sourced meats and produce (an adjacent art-house movie theater, Cinema Urbana 47, made its debut in 2012). At Aromaticus, owners Luca De Marco and Francesca Lombardi bring culinary bona fides—they worked in Rome as the chef at Open Baladin and the sommelier at Open Colonna, respectively—to their bistro meets urban farming emporium. In addition to the potted herbs, designer trowels, and organic produce, there's an excellent lunch menu of salads, cheese plates, and charcuterie to complement Luca's sublime steak tartare. At the black-and-white-tiled Gaudeo, you'll find the paradigm of the paninoteca: There are myriad combinations available, but stick to two or three ingredients in your panino (the turkey and Sardinian goat's milk ricotta is a favorite) so that the quality of each really shines.
Shop owners and designers likewise find Monti's streets friendly to the trade of the quirky and the twice-loved (after the Via del Governo Vecchio, Monti has the city's best vintage stores). The women's fashion shop stocks the often-monochromatic designs (the is for both black and bianco) of independent and established European labels, from Faliero Sarti pashminas to Céline trousers. At DOP Concept Store, Arabella Valdieri sources only a few pieces from niche labels to supplement her own small line of soft, deconstructed separates—whether you walk out with a kidskin clutch or a slim linen sundress, chances are you'll be the only one back home with it. And of course, if it's Saturday or Sunday, you'll hit the Mercato Monti. What used to be a better-than-most flea market has evolved into a showcase of small purveyors selling handmade goods and first-rate vintage. On any given day, the mix might include 1950s jewelry, handmade leather sandals, and '70s Gucci totes.
Testaccio and Ostiense
Baroque domes, pastel frescoes, wisteria-draped piazzette: You'll find none of the quintessential Roman sights in Testaccio and Ostiense, which abut each other along the silver-brown stretch of the Tiber below Trastevere. Dirt and industry are deeply embedded in their DNA: Testaccio's late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century grid of middle-class apartment buildings rests on ancient Roman landfill, comprising tens of thousands of terra-cotta urns abandoned millennia ago after being off-loaded from ships bearing supplies from the imperial provinces. Ostiense's skyline is characterized as much by steel bridges and graffitied warehouses as by the famous Pyramid of Cestius; its premier museum, the Centrale Montemartini, is housed in a decommissioned power station.
But what these two neighborhoods lack in camera-readiness they make up for in genuine urban buzz—and for food lovers, they are Rome's place to be. Make a pilgrimage to the Testaccio Market, which still retains its special Roman brand of industrious cacophony, to stock up on prosciutto, fresh chicory, and just about everything in between, with a side trip to the 150-year-old delicatessen Volpetti, a must for hand-cut pasta, anchovies in Sicilian olive oil, or any one of the seven different preparations of artichokes.
The new gastronomic nexus here is Porto Fluviale, a dining-drinking-snacking mecca spread across a 10,000-square-foot warehouse that was formerly part of the Magazzini Generali, Rome's principal wholesale market. Now it's a cavernous series of spaces finished with pale-brick walls, industrial work lamps, and reclaimed-wood shelves offering a staggering bounty of Italian gastronomia. There's a bar that hums from late morning to the wee hours—the place for both a perfect espresso and a Campari spritz—along with a pizzeria centered around two massive wood ovens, one for thin-crust pizze romane, the other for the pillowy Neapolitan version. Elsewhere there's a tapas bar, a patisserie/tearoom, and a lounge stocked with leather club chairs and chesterfield sofas.
People will tell you that Pigneto is Rome's Brooklyn. Whether you consider this a selling point or not, there is undeniably something of that borough's cool to be found along the Via del Pigneto, an affiche-plastered pedestrian stretch set north of the rusted train tracks radiating out from Termini Station. A Communist enclave in the early 1900s, then a dodgy area known for drugs and prostitution, Pigneto has spent the last few years getting fancied up—although you might still be treated to an authentic street brawl when dining alfresco at Primo. The restaurant is a stalwart of the Pigneto scene, a place where the lackadaisical service is offset by a few standout dishes, among them a heavenly fava puree topped with burrata. Primo's Tricker's-wearing owners also have the nearby Rosti, whose menu mixes maremmana-beef burgers and pastrami sandwiches with half a dozen pizze bianche and a Sunday-afternoon pasta al forno lunch.
It's a magnet for the neighborhood's creative classes and young parents, whose little ones gambol freely in its 7,500-square-foot garden strung with fairy lights. And you'd be remiss not to stop in at Necci, an institution since 1924; Pasolini famously filmed (and slummed) here in the early '60s, and now its English co-owner, Benjamin Hirst, an alumnus of Fergus Henderson's kitchen, has given it a shabby-cool makeover and a refined-rustic menu. Anytime between 8 a.m. and 1 a.m., seven days a week, is a good time to go, given that Necci morphs throughout the day from coffee-and-cornetto pit stop to aperitivo hot spot to serious osteria turning out fresh takes on typical dishes, from artichokes to eel. The preponderance of whiskers and sockless brogues among the clientele may indeed suggest Brooklyn—but the flavors are unmistakably Rome.

PowerColor Radeon HD 7950 3GB PCS Overclocked Video Card Review - Benchmarks - Test System Setup
We would like to thank the following companies for supplying and supporting us with our test system hardware and equipment: Intel, ASUS and Corsair.
We won't go into too much detail with our testbed since all the main information required is in the above image. Instead we'll cover the video cards that you'll be seeing in our graphs here today. The first is of course the overclocked PowerColor HD 7950 PCS 3GB card running at 1110MHz on the core and 5600MHz QDR on the 3GB of GDDR5 memory.
Outside of the PowerColor HD 7950 we've got the Sapphire HD 7870 OC along with two Tahiti LE based HD 7870 video cards. One is the Myst Edition from PowerColor, and the other is the Sapphire model which we overclocked to over 1200MHz on the core. And finally to round everything off we've got the AMD HD 7970 GHz Edition card for good measure.
The FPS Numbers Explained
When we benchmark our video cards and look at the graphs, we aim to get to a certain level of FPS which we consider playable. While many may argue that the human eye can't see over 24 FPS or 30 FPS, any true gamer will tell you that as we climb higher in Frames Per Seconds (FPS), the overall gameplay feels smoother. There are three numbers we're looking out for when it comes to our benchmarks.
30 FPS - It's the minimum number we aim for when it comes to games. If you're not dropping below 30 FPS during games, you're going to have a nice and smooth gaming experience. The ideal situation is that even in a heavy fire fight, the minimum stays above 30 FPS making sure that you can continue to aim easily or turn the corner with no dramas.
60 FPS - It's the average we look for when we don't have a minimum coming at us. If we're getting an average of 60 FPS, we should have a minimum of 30 FPS or better and as mentioned above, it means we've got some smooth game play happening.
120 FPS - The new number that we've been hunting down over recent months. If you're the owner of a 120 Hz monitor, to get the most out of it you want to get around the 120 FPS mark. Moving from 60 FPS / 60 Hz to 120 FPS / 120 Hz brings with it a certain fluidity that can't really be explained, but instead has to be experienced. Of course, if you're buying a 120 Hz monitor to take advantage of 3D, an average of 120 FPS in our benchmark means that in 3D you will have an average of 60 FPS, which again means you should expect some smooth gameplay.

Thursday 5 Mar 2015
By Eric Magnuson. Web onlyPublished online: 22 March 2012
The Asia Society in New York held a panel on collecting ancient art in the 21st century on 18 March along with the American Committee for Cultural Policy.
The first half of the panel primarily covered legal aspects concerning collecting art from China and India. The international art dealer James Lally went into depth about some of the misconceptions that the collecting community has about the memorandum of understanding between China and the US, and Naman Ahuja, a professor of Indian art and architecture from Delhi, spoke adamantly about how he believed that western collectors should help museums from source countries by lending their expertise. The second half largely dealt with issues facing curatorial work in the US. Among other topics, Arthur Houghton, a former curator at the J. Paul Getty Museum, diplomat and member of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee to the President, discussed a proposed WikiLoot web resource, which aims to identify looted antiquities with a crowd-sourced approach. The other panellists were: Kate Fitz Gibbon, an attorney and former member of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee to the President; Kurt A. Gitter, the co-founder of Gitter-Yelen Art Study Center, New Orleans; James McAndrew, a forensic specialist at Grunfeld, Desiderio, Lebowitz, Silverman, Klestadt LLP and a former Homeland Security, US Customs expert; Julian Raby, the director of the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery and the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington DC; and Marc Wilson, a sinologist and the former director of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City. The event was moderated by Melissa Chiu, the director of the Asia Society, and Vishakha Desal, the society's president. The full discussion can be viewed on Asia Society's website. This article was updated on 26 March to correct Arthur Houghton's position. He no longer works at the Getty Museum.

Ahem. I owe an apology; Tricia sent me this information to post way back in February and I don't think I ever did post it. I was looking for something else in my emails and found it. As a poor defense, the cover note mentioned that her sons had just come down with what my son was just getting over – a virus with high fever – and I must have still been boggled. I included a photo of Tammy working on the forehead cloth; it clearly shows the slate frame. Tammy was here about the same time Tricia sent this note; it was one of the snow-shortened sessions. Seems a long time ago now. I haven't heard anyone say with certainty that they know the reason they're called slate frames, by the way. Anyway, Tricia wrote:
Several people have asked where to get slate frames. As we talked early in the blog, we had a great deal of trouble finding slate frames in the USA for this project. There are one or two small makers in England but they wouldn't export to the USA and we didn't have the budget to fly there to get them! The frames that are pictured were a really nice product line that was manufactured in Europe for Access Commodities. A combination of factors resulted in these frames coming off the market a few years ago – the rising Euro, some manufacturing problems, and a brief intro of a lower quality copy by a vendor ended up resulting in the product line being taken off the market.
Access was great to take all the leftover on their shelves, seconds, and a list of what stores had formerly bought from them to allow me to find enough for the project. (What Tricia then did was call all the stores to see if they had anything left of their last orders. She usually leaves out the part about her tedious legwork.) We combined this with some long slats made by Plimoth staff and my entire vast personal collection (note again that STASH comes to the rescue!) and a wonderful stitcher's stash (this generous stitcher has long-term loaned us a few essential frame parts) we found through the list from Access to complete the sizes we needed.
Recently Access has made a test run in-country to see if this product line can be brought back as a favor to me and because of interest in this project. I am testing out the new frames next week with a class I am teaching. (Since this post is so old, that test-run happened in February. It sounded like it went well. Norma B brought her nightcap project from that class to a show & tell at one of the sessions, all drawn out and laced into the frame.) If things go well, the frames might come back to market. I am sorry I can't give a simple answer to the question of 'how do I get a frame'. The good news is if everyone out there who wants a frame, requests it of their local shop , maybe you can help the push to get these back again as momentum is now in our favor.
This is again an example of how fragile the needlework market is. Fundamental products come and go off the market very easily. I made a friend years ago who was the retired R&D head of a major needle company in Germany and founder of a museum of needle technology. Germany and England had been the centers of the needle trade since the time our jacket was made. Today there is one English vendor and a French vendor. Between them they make 80% of all needles and brand them with different names. My friend
showed me hundreds of different types of needles that were made prior to WWI by dozens of companies. Needles that I knew must have existed to do embroidery I couldn't do today because I couldn't find the right needle. He showed me how the governments of England and Germany had restricted the product lines during the war to divert steel to munitions. When the war was over, women's lives had changed so much that the demand wasn't large enough to reintroduce the large variety again. Hence those forms of embroidery are now gone from our lexicon,effectively extinct. Today most needlework manufacturers are very small entities, entire product lines can disappear just because someone retires or there is a medical emergency in the family and the business owner needs to find a 'real job'. I wish every stitcher knew the background on the products they use and understood the economics of the situation. It would stop all chart copying, sharing, and buying cut rate floss from big craft stores in a second. Unfortunately it is the big secret that no-one wants to talk about. While not everyone can afford to fill their closets – there are small everyday decisions when shopping for our craft passion that make or break the industry.

Saw a commercial today at the Y (which is why I coudn't really hear the details) and saw Tom on there. It was a special in sports SNL. Is this a repeat or is this a new one with him on it?
Repeat. I don't think they have a new SNL for a few weeks. With the holiday today, there would be no way they could have one this weekend. What star would want to work the week of New Years?
That skit was good, but I laughed much more at Manning's than Brady's SNL skits. When Manning is yelling at the kids for screwing up their assignments and drills the one kid in the back for running the wrong route, I died laughing.
All the time I've spent on YT and I never came across that. Then again I never entered Korean Boy in to the search.

Doesn't matter. XFree86 4.3 is what the blfs book has. My XFree86 was configured according to the BLFS book. There were NO issues with starting gpm without the mouse that would not also happen with the init script method. Perhaps previous versions of XFree86 would croak if started without the mouse device when configured to have one, but the current doesn't. Instead it handles it intelligently by simply not loading support for any input devices. This is a problem - but NOT a problem with XFree86 - it is a problem with gdm. gdm should check for the devices and if a mouse/keyboard is missing, it should start gdm but not switch to that tty (problem being once you have switched to that tty there is no way to switch to another) So I was correct that the bug is with gdm. It's called a usability bug. It shouldn't put you into a console you can not get out of. > You weren't even able to properly break your own > system to simulate any of the suggested failure conditions, otherwise > you would have been able to see what happens when XFree86 can't find a > core pointer as opposed to how init reacts to GDM failing. Bull fricken sh*t. I unplugged the mouse device. My XFree is configured to use a mouse. There were no issues - XFree started just fine. Wasn't usable - but DID NOT DIE or have any issue with lack of core pointer. It (XFree) just simply started w/o support for core devices (hence the dead keyboard) rather that die - as older versions of XFree might have done. This would also happen if started as an init script. You are flat wrong here. Sorry. > You claimed > that scripts being invoked through inittab were subject to accidental > user-interruption, and originally cited this as your reason for invoking > gdm directly from inittab, even though later you, yourself stated that > /usr/bin/gdm is _also_ a shell script.

Anyone who wants to repeat what I have tested will see who is the one who has errors, is impossibly dim, unbelievably clue-resistant, and deliberately arguementative. In fact - you can feel free to repeat my tests and see for yourself. This thread can't bear any more good fruit. My case has been made, objections have been made, the authors of the book can decide what they want to do - be it a total change, a comment, or nothing at all. But this thread should probably die. When threads resort to name calling they have gone beyond useful discussion. -- Unsubscribe: send email to listar at linuxfromscratch.org and put 'unsubscribe blfs-dev' in the subject header of the message

Title: | Window matching in the time-frequency plane and the adaptive spectrogram |
Author: | Jones, G; Boashash, B |
Abstract: | Aspects of generating spectrograms which may be used in the preliminary steps of time-frequency analysis are discussed. It is shown that the major problem with the application of the spectrogram is its nonunique nature, i.e., the use of an arbitrary window for analysis. The concept of window matching is introduced, whereby the selection of the window used for analysis depends on the instantaneous signal characteristics at the given time-frequency point under analysis. Generalized instantaneous parameters are derived and subsequently used to demonstrate how the window matching may be applied. An adaptive window-matched spectrogram is generated. Practical data results are given. |
Description: | This paper shows that that a substantial improvement in resolution may be achieved by using the adaptive spectrogram. (The most recent upgrade of the original software package that calculates Time-Frequency Distributions and Instantaneous Frequency estimators can be downloaded from the web site: www.time-frequency.net. This was the first software developed in the field, and it was first released publicly in 1987 at the 1st ISSPA conference held in Brisbane, Australia, and then continuously updated). |

Exclusive interview by by James Slater, 37-year-old southpaw Tony "The Tiger" Thompson, currently 31-2(19), gets back in the ring this coming December 13th for the first time since his unsuccessful challenge of IBF and WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. Opposing the 6'5" lefty will be all-time great James "Lights Out" Toney - a fighter who has promised to score a KO win. Taking time out from his training for a fight he feels will lead him into a much wanted rematch with Klitschko, Thompson very kindly took time out to speak with this writer earlier today. Here is what "The Tiger" had to say. James Slater: Thanks for your time, Tony. Here at Eastside Boxing, we've got James Toney's take on December's fight, now we want yours. Firstly, how's training been going for the fight? Tony Thompson: What's up Eastside Boxing!? It's been going fine. I'm only in the early stages right now, but everything's been going just fine.. J.S: Who have you been/who will you be sparring with to get ready for Toney's quick and cute moves? T.T: I've a whole bunch of guys in mind, but mostly I'll be working with a buddy of mine, Eddie Chambers. J.S: What do you think of James Toney as a heavyweight? He was a great middleweight, a great super-middleweight and a great cruiserweight. What do you think of him as a heavyweight today? T.T: You said it! He's a great fighter. I can't see why he can't be a great heavyweight. He is a great fighter, that's the way I look at it. He's a future Hall of Famer, and I'll be ready for him. J.S: You will be the biggest and tallest fighter he will ever have faced. Has he bitten off more than he can chew taking you on? Is he crazy taking a fight with you? T.T: No, I don't think he's crazy. There have been great small fighters at heavyweight in the past. Joe Frazier was only 5'11", if he was even that, Mike Tyson the same. So I think Toney can still be effective at my weight. J.S: Will your southpaw right jab be your main weapon in this fight? T.T: It's my main weapon in any fight. Possibly more so in this fight, but at the same time I won't over-use it. I don't want to use it so much that he can time it and counter it. J.S: Not to make you angry, but Toney says he'll KO you. Your thoughts? T.T: It don't make me angry, we're heavyweights and we are always looking to get a KO. I mean, why is he even in there if he's not predicting a KO? J.S: What do you hope a win against Toney will lead to for you? T.T: I want it to get me back up as one of the world's top heavyweights. I've got to get back at [Wladimir] Klitschko. No-one knew it, but I wasn't totally healthy for that fight. I had only one healthy leg, I had a torn knee. That affected me a whole lot - my roadwork and my overall fitness. Don't get me wrong, he's a great champion and I'm not making an excuse. But I've had surgery on the knee now and I'm running hard and will be in much better shape from now on. Please understand I'm not taking anything away from Klitschko. J.S: If you fought him again, would you fight the same style? I know you'd be in better health with your knee. T.T: I'd definitely fight the same style, but I'd be more effective. I'd be able to carry my game-plan for the full 12 rounds. I wanted to come on in the late rounds with pressure, to get the stoppage after being ahead early on. But I was exhausted after the 3rd of 4th round to be honest with you. I had no strength in my legs. J.S: Is it Wladimir you want again, or would you take a fight with Vitali Klitschko if it was offered to you? T.T: I want Wladmir, I really have to get another shot at him before my career is over with. But if it took a win over his brother Vitali to get a rematch with him, I would do that if I needed to. J.S: Getting back to the Toney fight. Most people think it will be a definite distance fight. Do you agree? T.T: I don't agree, no. I think Toney will try and come to knock me out. With his pedigree, he'll come looking to get the stoppage. But I won't take one single backward step against Toney. I think it will make for a good action fight. People say Toney can't give action fights, but I think he can - look at his fights with John Ruiz and the first fight with Samuel Peter. That's the Toney I'm looking for, the one that fought Peter the first time - I thought he won that fight. I'm looking for that vintage James Toney. I'm sure he'll be well prepared for this fight. But as I say, I won't take a backwards step against him. J.S: It's been great speaking with you, Tony. What is your final prediction? He says he'll get a KO, is that what you say too? T.T: I'll get a win, that's all I'll say.

You've all heard the claim that we aren't really atheists, we are just mad at god. (Or you will see such things as "so and so claims to be an atheist.")
Today, though I saw an argument in chat with a theist, and someone else's account of an argument they had out in public, and I stopped to wonder if maybe we aren't sometimes encouraging this line of bullshit, albeit unwittingly.
What happened in both cases was the atheist began recounting all the sorts of horrible things Yahweh is portrayed as doing or believing or commanding. In one case, I saw the atheist say "why should I love god when he won't love me back?"
The problem with this sort of thing is we usually don't take care to phrase our remarks to make it clear that god is a character of fiction. When discussing the misdeeds of Yahweh we tend to fall back on a convention we use when we talk about a fictional character in a book. We refer to him by name and talk as if the guy was real and the book was not fiction, for example, "In George Orwell's 1984, Winston Smith was arrested for thoughtcrime," not, "In George Orwell's 1984, the character Winston Smith..."
We know what we mean, because we both know Winston Smith (or god) is fictitious. But they don't know god is fictitious.
Talking this way with someone who believes the fictional character is real might cause him not to understand you are just following the convention. Your phrasing sounds to him like you accept god as real, he "knows" god is real, so he assumes at some level you think god is real.
What I am suggesting here is that you ever want to bring up how nasty this being is, you make it clear that you don't think he exists, make sure you put "fictitious" (or equivalent) in every other sentence at least, and not let them think for a minute that you assume the existence of god.
Yes I know that when you just said you were an atheist this shouldn't be necessary, but obviously many of these people don't understand atheism in their guts, so don't let their paradigm default you into a "believer but mad at god" box.
I agree. I know I've said something like .. "Lets assume for a moment that God does exist.. " with the understanding that the other person knows I'm not putting my disbelief on the back burner. I'd like to think I'm getting it across that I see God as a hypothetical and not a concrete concept when I propose the assumption..
I never actually thought about it, but I think you're onto something here. Looking back on it, I make this mistake all the time...though truth be told, if God were real I would be VERY angry with him, regardless.
Absolutely. Remember the jokes people made about god now getting hitchslapped for all eternity.
I completely agree! How can something have characteristics or features or attributes if it doesn't exist? I'm perfectly okay talking about what humans have done in the name of god or the stories they read and listen to at church, but I try my best to never insinuate that god is anything other than non-existent. It's a common mistake, because we all do this when we talk about characters in movies or stories. Maybe if you find yourself being accused of hating god, you can say, "sure...just like we all hate the Joker in Batman (or any other fictional character)."
I usually point out that I am angry at God in the same way I am angry at Darth Vader in Star Wars. And if people went around choking other people because they claimed Darth Vader spoke to them in their hearts and told them to do it, I'd be more vocal about that.
Even if God/Allah/FSM/Unicorn exists, I don't see how I could be mad at he/she/it/them. I don't have a direct line to the divine, and I don't yet trust anyone who claims to have a direct or indirect line to the divine, so who am I to judge he/she/it/them if I don't even have the first clue as to her/his/its/their nature? Unless I'm just looking for a scapegoat...
Thank you for pointing this out. It is an important concept to keep in mind for a few different reasons.
I try to preface my comments about a god by referencing the story I'm talking about. For example, "The story of the fall of Adam and Eve..."
I also try to be careful when using the word 'god' to say exactly what I mean. If I am talking about gods in a general sense, I make sure to use a lower case g and keep it plural. I believe this says a few things in that it equates the Christian god with all the other gods people have believed in. I only ever capitalize the G if I am specifically referring, by name, to the god of Christianity. That is rare because I hardly ever refer to the Christian god by name, partially for the reasons you've described. I tend to use the term "the Abrahamic god." It is not simply the Abrahamic god that I don't believe in. Maybe it is just coincidence, but I haven't met many people who have accused me, specifically, of "hating God."
Being able to provide attribution for a characteristic about a god also makes the argument more powerful, I think. For example:
"Deuteronomy 22:28-29 says the punishment for a man who rapes a woman is that he must pay her father some silver and then marry her. Why would anyone even want to believe in that sort of deity?"
Steve - I'm not angry at god, and have never been, nor am I angry at the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause, unicorns, leprechauns, the Great Flying Spaghetti Monster, or any other mythical characters - my anger is directed at those who began the myth, but even more so at those in this, the 21st century, who still perpetuate the myth.
pax vobiscum,
Of course you aren't.
The issue here is how to avoid giving the theist the impression that that's your motivation for professing atheism. To convince them you really don't believe, and that you aren't just saying you don't believe out of spite.
I realize that that's the issue, I just don't believe I've ever given anyone that misimpression.
Nup, never mad at god. How can one be mad at something that doesn't exist - it is all that is said by some bloke, primitive mysogonistic shite, men of the day. I always point out, there are no gods, no angels, no ghosts, and no fear. I ask them have they really read the bible. It is usually talks with Mormons, who have their own re-written version of the bible, and Jehovah Witness, who have an inner circle of, the usual old men, re-writing or just ignoring the bible, with their own version of shite, known as the Watchtower.
Why do Mormons want their wives to be walking incubators, to the detriment of their health.
I point out these facts. Jehovah Witness are always polite, as am I - Mormons not so much :)
As Kyle said, have a few quotes from the bible, and ask them what they think they mean.
