We lived in Australia for a few years in the early '90s, and naturally made some wonderful friends there. For Christmas this year, our friends Doug and Trisha Paice sent me a copy of The Parrot's Theorem, by Denis Guedj. It's a novel about the history of mathematics, and it fits my criteria for great gifts: I wouldn't have bought it for myself, but I'm delighted to have it. I'm halfway through, and it's a lot of fun.
If you're looking for just a good page-turner of a novel, you can safely skip it -- the story probably won't grab you if you don't have at least a passing interest in the history of mathematics. And there are some distinct weaknesses in the writing (which I think may be due to a sloppy translation from the original French). But it's fantastic for me ... I find the basic theme interesting, and I would love to know more about it, but I probably wouldn't bother to slog through a serious book about the history of mathematics. But the fictional story of The Parrot's Theorem gives the topic a narrative structure that makes it a fun and easy read.
(Additionally, through this book I was reminded of another book that I had heard of but forgotten: Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy. Supposedly it is a terrific book, working better as a novel than The Parrot's Theorem. I'll have to add it to my wish list.)
About a week before Christmas I was rereading Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age. It's a really interesting book, in part because of its form: it is quite definitely a science fiction novel, but it is structured as a Victorian novel, complete with the distinctive chapter headings: a little graphical ornament, and a short synopsis of the events that will happen in the chapter.
Then I spent a lunch break at the bookstore, and came across a book I'd heard many good things about: To Say Nothing of the Dog, by Connie Willis. Based on universally good reviews, I've been wanting to read it for a few years, and I was in a hurry, so I just snatched it from the shelf and bought it on an impulse.
Lo and behold, it's another Victorian science-fiction novel. Without planning it, I find myself in the position of simultaneously reading two Victorian science fiction novels. There can't be too many books that fit that description; what an interesting coincidence.
The excerpt definitely made me want to read more. (I've been getting hungry for more from Stephenson anyway.) It takes place around the turn of the 19th century, on the cusp of the Enlightenment. We see the ancestors of Lawrence Waterhouse and Bobby Shaftoe, along with Isaac Newton, Liebniz, a young Ben Franklin, the founding of MIT, and -- as many have suspected -- Enoch Root.
It's the first volume of a series called The Baroque Cycle, and apparently it will be published in October, 2003.
It could still slip, of course, but the transformation into three novels rings true: shortly after the release of Cryptonomicon, Stephenson talked about his next book and said it was nearly finished, but that there would actually be several books in the loosely coupled series begun with Cryptonomicon. Since then, however, he's been saying stuff like "I have this book I want to finish, and I'm a long way from finishing it." It's been clear for a while that there was some sort of major change in direction for Quicksilver, so maybe this explains something of what happened.

Major shade is being thrown! Donnie's most famous brother won't be at his wedding this weekend, according to a new report, and it may be because Mark and his wife aren't fans of the bride.
Mark Wahlberg, 43, is reportedly skipping brother Donnie Wahlberg, 45, and Jenny McCarthy's wedding this weekend. And that's not all — brother Bobby Wahlberg and matriarch Alma Wahlberg also won't be attending the Labor Day weekend nuptials. Is Jenny, 41, the reason?
Mark Wahlberg Skipping Donnie Wahlberg & Jenny McCarthy's Wedding
Mark and his wife, Rhea Durham, aren't fans of Jenny, TMZ reports. Mark is not as close to Donnie and Jenny as Jenny has made it seem, the site claims.
Mark Wahlberg Breaks Silence On Twitter After Skipping Wedding
Rhea allegedly didn't like an interview that Jenny gave with Howard Stern, where she talked about her relationship with the A-list actor.
So is this why most of the family is boycotting the wedding?
Jenny McCarthy & Donnie Wahlberg Married — Congrats
Well, Mark's reps told TMZ that he wasn't attending because he needs to be at a birthday party for his daughter, Ella, in Los Angeles on Aug. 30. Her 11th birthday is Sept. 2, but the actor will be filming in Boston that day.
However, TMZ sources are adamant that there's bad blood with Jenny.
There's no word on why Bobby won't be attending, but Alma is skipping out because she doesn't like to fly, the site claims.
On a positive note, Donnie's brother, Paul Wahlberg, will be attending. (Good for him!)
Jenny McCarthy & Donnie Wahlberg: A Romantic Proposal
Donnie and Jenny first met in March 2013 when he was a guest on her short-lived The Jenny McCarthy Show. They started dating soon thereafter.
Jenny announced the couple's engagement when she showed off her yellow sapphire engagement ring to her View co-hosts in April 2014. "His proposal was so sweet," she told Shape. "One afternoon, my son walked into the living room with a piece of paper that read, 'Will.' He ran out, then he came back with another piece that said, 'You.' Then he came back with another piece that read, 'Marry.' Then Donnie walked in wearing a T-shirt that said, 'Me?' " Jenny explained. "He was carrying the ring, he got down on his knee in front of Evan, and … I said yes."
We can definitely see why she chose to marry Donnie — he's such a romantic!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should Mark go to the wedding? Is he dissing Donnie and Jenny by not going? Tell us what you think!

I feel very bad for Donnie because you can see how much he loves Jenny when he looks at her, My husband and i were on vacation in the beginning of August and went to Walburgers in Boston had the opportunity to get pictures with Nacho and he sat and spoke with us for 20 minutes. I couldnt believe the things he said to(complete strangers) about Jenny. She will for sure break Donnies heart in the future. As for the family they should have attended the wedding for Donnie in spite of their feelings toward his choice in brides. Alma I was very disappointed that I did not meet you, you seem like the type of mom I wish I had growing up.

This entire story is a lie. It's Mark's daughter birthday is the same day and he's giving her a birthday party (one he had been planning for a while now), so that's why he can't go. Mark and his wife are happy for Donnie and Jenny. He sent them a message on twitter and instagram congratulating them.

It is also extremely important to apply a winterizing fertilizer because
it concentrates below the soil strengthening the roots,
developing plant hardiness and prepares your lawn for the spring growing season. Then, you must make a special effort to avoid known mold sources
to avoid such skikn rashes and reactions. Fill the

Well, in an effort to restart this thing and provide myself a fresh start, I am moving over to Friendly-Confines.com.
Casual Cubs Fan taught me I can do this, maybe tighten up some editing and maintaining a writing schedule but I can do this.
I am still working out a few things but with an impending move to Miami, living in an apartment (no more tasks around the house to do) and just wanting to build something of my own (that I won't fear MLBAM will strike down due to copyright infringement) I am moving on to a new webhome.
There are a lot of bugs to work out and a new hosting system (WordPress vs. Blogger) but I am going to work towards knocking that upstart BN Acehole (haha, I am clever) off his lofty perch.
Thank you and goodbye, Casual Cubs Fan, you have a terrible logo, shoddy writing and a halfway decent site name.
Join me over at Friendly-Confines.com. It's going to not suck. Maybe.
Tigers-Cubs Trade Brewing? and Other Newsyness
Best wishes and prayers go out to everyone connected to Aroldis Chapman, who was hit in the face with a comebacker last night. Apparently the liner came off a 99-MPH fastball. That'd put the comebacker, potentially, in the upper-90's when it reached Chapman. Scary stuff. Just have to hope that Salvador Perez didn't get all of it and that both men recover just fine (reports were that Perez was shaken up emotionally afterwards).
I Can't Allow You To Do That, Theo - Cubs Get a Supercomputer?
First off, let me give a giant shout out to Mr. Taylor over at BleacherNation.com. There is a less than 0% chance I would have found this unless he did. If you frequent this site, I am sure you frequent there where I am a frequent poster during the day, and I must say, he was the inspiration for me starting this site several years ago.
Anyway, thanks Ace!
Anyway, thanks Ace!
BEGONE INJURY BUG! and Other Newsyness
Splitting in the Desert and Pitching Galore Newsyness
Huh, that's how they do that. |
We have had
some interesting weather the past few weeks here in Des Moines. On March 3rd, it was 12 below zero and I had
two piles of snow in my yard that were almost as tall as I am. On March 10th, it was 70 degrees and by this
last Saturday, it was approaching 50 and nearly all of my snow was gone. Then I looked out my window Saturday night
and it looked as if it were the middle of January. Thankfully, I love "extreme" weather (if you
can call an inch of snow extreme but it looked blizzard-like out there) so it
was neat.
Pre-Game Fixin's: More Splitting of Squads
The Cubs will be doing Split Squad
duties again today. Hopefully, the guys
in Las Vegas didn't pound The Strip too hard last night. Mike Olt gets some more game time, albeit at
DH. Hopefully we will get word soon that
his shoulder is A-OK and he will be ready to go by Opening Day. If not, and he needs a month in the minors
(don't think he would) then we might have to rethink the Service
Time discussion.
Cubs Do the Splits, and Other Newsyness
Today I am trying a new way of typing and uploading
these articles. Figured a Sunday works
about best and while Casual Cubs Fan is in its infancy. Hopefully, I can type these up on Word and
get them on to the Blogger software with ease.
Also, I'd like to introduce someone who is not a
sponsor but I'll be featuring his efforts a fair amount on here and trying to
support him the best I can. Well, I won't
bury it on a Sunday…on a new site. Just
consider this a tease and I'll roll it out Monday morning.

Tuesday, Barack Obama will be sworn in as the first black president of the United States. Millions of people are expected to attend the inauguration. A Wilmington bus company is driving dozens of people from our area to watch it all unfold.
The bus company is called Daniel's. Around five o'clock Monday morning, one of their buses left with a group headed to Washington DC. That bus is one of thousands making the trip to our nation's capital.
Company president, Euran Daniels said, "If Dr. King were living I think he would be very pleased with what's going to happen Tuesday."
If Martin Luther King Jr. were alive today he'd be 80 years old, and an eye witness to history being made. Barack Obama will become the nation's first black president of the United States. Euran Daniels is sending seven buses filled with people to Obama's inauguration.
"It's a very, very personable moment for me and that's why I'm trying to do everything in my power to get folks up to that event," Daniels said.
Daniels said the average cost for the DC trip ranges from 50 to 75 dollars per person. He admits some groups backed out due to the economy, fear of a violent attack, or the anticipated large crowds.
It is estimated that around 2 million people will attend, which would surpass the record set in 1965 when 1.2 million people attended President Lyndon Johnson's inauguration.
Washington, DC expects around 10,000 buses to pull into the city, full of folks who want to be there to witness the memorable event; an event Daniels said would not be possible if it weren't for Dr. King.
"I think if one had not done the work, i.e. Dr. King, Barack wouldn't be in the position he's in today. I think they are connected and one contributed to the other," added Daniels.
Daniels said some groups are leaving Tuesday and staying for a day, others left Monday and won't be back until Wednesday.

4 A Beautiful Adventure Epic.Dirtfish | 21/09/2009 | See all Dirtfish's reviews (475)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 10 Books Reviewer Top 100 Toys Reviewer Far and Away (1992) is an epic romantic adventure movie starring Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Robert Prosky and Colm Meaney.The plot revolves around Irish farmboy Joseph Donnelly (Cruise) who travels with rich girl Shannon Christie (Kidman) to America. There the two struggle to find work while falling in love.Although both Cruise and Kidman struggle with Irish accents they do give good performances in this movie. Cruise in particular is very charismatic and at his most handsome peak. Colm Meaney steals every scene though.Director Ron Howard (Apollo 13) does a terrific job with this movie. The bareknuckle fight scenes are exciting, the cinematography is beautiful (This was the last ever movie to be shot in the Super 65mm format) and the big action scenes amazingly realistic. Howard's direction is the real strength of this movie.Far & Away is at times a little silly but its a very entertaining movie and certainly better then its reputation suggests. Its an old fashioned romantic adventure epic and its worth a look. Just try to ignore the silly Cruise/Kidman Irish accents.
5 FAR AND AWAY THE BESTBRUCECAMPBELL | 11/05/2008 | See all BRUCECAMPBELL's reviews (4)Great brilliant love this film lost count how many times ive watched it. From the music to the landscape it is filmatically beautiful. An epic in its own right brilliantly made by Ron howard and Tom and Nicole play great roles involving alot of chemistry.Bargin !

EUGENE, Ore.– The first regional skateboarding competition rolled through the new Washington Jefferson Skatepark and Urban Plaza Saturday. About 60 professional and amateur skateboarders came from all over the west coast. They competed for $6,000 in prizes and a $1,000 prize for the best trick. Many people who attended say they feel lucky to have the largest covered skatepark in the nation, right here in town.
"I like it all, it's just a really hardcore park and it's really good for the community here," said Corey Vandlac of Nixon.
"It's really nice and it's fun," adds fan Keena Mackenzie.
Saturday's competition is called Northwest Jam and sponsors include Tactics Boardshop, Nike SB, and Independent Truck Company. The event ended with a party at Cozmic.

Joined 08 February 2013 Quakers Hill, NSW
I recently had several treatments and was disappointed with every one of them. I was a member but did not get to use it for months so instead of pausing it they cancelled it & charged me full price. I will not be going back & would not recommend them
Do not order from Thai Spice Restaurant at Quakers Hill!!! Overall they are expensive, ridiculously slow delivery, have way below average food and crap service. With so much competition they are so expensive compared to other Thai restaurants. It took them 1.5hours to deliver and the food was below average - soggy and inedible. I tried to ring and cancel but their phone was constantly engaged for the whole 1.5 hours. When I did get through to them to complain, they blamed me from ordering online through Menulog which incidently, is their only form of online ordering!!!!! I would recommend not to use them and this was my first and definitely last time.
Mick could not have been more helpful and accommodating. I'm very fastidious and Mick accomodated my exacting standards at every step of the way. Not only was the job done to our needs but he was in the house alone for a lot of the job and is so honest and trustworthy. I would thoroughly recommend Mick to anyone wanting a quality painting service.

Notre hôte nous a fiat sentir le bienvenu en répondant à mes courriels et en nous expliquant comment s'introduire dans la maison. Nous avons aimé le fait que nous pouvions arriver à l'heure qui nous convenais puisque nous n'avions pas à prendre rendez-vous pour avoir une clé. Le quartier est chic et tranquille, avec service de proximité. La maison correspondait bien à ce qu'on nous avait décrit et même mieux
This place was awesome, enough beds for all 6 of us, ~50 foot deck walk to the beach, washer/dryer, 1 mi golf cart rental place, 3/4 mi shopping/restaurants/liquor store. The house is a ~10 mins taxi to Murrells Inlet, ~35 mins to broadway at the beach, and ~20 mins to sky wheel. Mourad was very accommodating through out the entire process. I will be going after this place when I go back to Myrtle beach.
The house is awesome, there is alot of room in the house and it is strategically placed rooms so you are able to see the magnificent view of the beach and with all the windows you could see the beach and hear waves all the time. It is very clean, plenty of room. Steps from the beach which made for easy access and the deck is spacious. We had a pleasent experience and will definitely go back.
A wonderful house with all the amenities. This was our first time and Mourad was very patient with our questions. This is a couple miles south of Myrtle Beach proper, but we prefer the peace and quiet. It's walking distance to a couple places to eat on the beachfront. All in all very highly recommended!
physician work in OH I like fishing and boating . I enjoy having a garden in the summer and love to start most of my plants from seeds , it is a miracle to watch tiny seedling develop into mature plants. Love nature , flowers , ocean , water mountains and any thing beautiful .

text: I'd like to share my modified package management scripts with everyone. They worked quite well to build up and strip down my LFS system. I first created a full LFS system for development use, then from that I created a stripped-down minimal LFS system for production (fits on a flash drive). I used "lpm -e package" to remove packages. I also followed much of the advice in the small-lfs.txt hint to get rid of unnecessary files and directories. I was able to get the system down to just 85MB in size. === lpm ==================================================== lpm is a script that acts as a wrapper for the install-log installation logger (see install-log.txt hint). It provides a simple form of package management. I took the lpm script as provided by the lpm.txt hint and added a few more features, making it more rpm-like in the process. See the usage in the script below. SAMPLE OUTPUT # lpm -q sed sed-4.1.4 # lpm -ql sed /bin/sed /usr/share/doc/sed-4.1.4/sed.html /usr/share/info/sed.info /usr/share/man/man1/sed.1 # lpm -qf /bin/sed sed-4.1.4 SCRIPT /usr/bin/lpm #!/bin/sh # # LPM - Linux from scratch Package Manager - v1.3 (1.3.3) # Date: 24-04-2004 (Edited: 20-01-2006) # # # CC-GPL 2004 Daniel Zilli <daniel at zilli.gulinuxsul.org> # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under # the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software # Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later # version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT # ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS # FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

It is based off the install-log.sh script written by Gerard Beekmans. It uses the .timestamp file used by install-log (for which lpm is a wrapper). This made it easy to check changes before and after installation of packages. It helped prevent me from making mistakes during installation logging and allowed me to easily reset the timestamp whenever it made sense to do so. Keep in mind that although this script behaves similar to the install-log binary program, the results may differ. This script has just an exclusion list while install-log has both an inclusion and exclusion list. Also, I added the file type letter to the beginning of each filename to see what is a symlink [l] and what is a regular file [f]. SAMPLE OUTPUT # listnew [l] /usr/bin/vi [f] /usr/bin/vim # listnew -r CAUTION: You will lose the ability to see what files have changed since last reset!

Clan in Da Back: The Behind-the-Scenes Oral History of 'Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)'
The engineers, art coordinators, mastering specialists, and studio owners who helped build the grimy masterpiece that rocked and shocked the nation
The Wu-Tang Clan introduced themselves to the world cloaked in a shroud of mystery. Claiming the hip-hop hinterland of Staten Island as their homeland, the gang of nine MCs bore kung-fu-inspired names and performed an assassin-like assault on the record industry. Their inaugural 12-inch, "Protect Ya Neck," offered little evidence with cover art that involved only a black-and-white illustration of a book and a sword. When the oversized rap group's debut album, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), was released on November 9, 1993, it eschewed the chance to reveal the Clan's faces, presenting six rappers clad in hoodies and masks. Rumors still abound as to what shenanigans were behind the incomplete cover roster.
Twenty years later, the early mysticism that surrounded the Wu-Tang Clan has proved to be part of leader the RZA's grand plan to turn scorned underground rappers into icons. It worked: The group's nine members — including the departed Ol' Dirty Bastard — are recognizable across the globe, grimy rap superstars from Shaolin lands. Though the Wu stepped out of the shadows and into the spotlight, there are less commonly credited music industry hands who were also involved in the group's monumental breakthrough. We asked five of these unseen contributors to go back in the vault and reminisce over the time they helped bring the ruckus.
Yoram Vazan, co-owner of the Firehouse Studio: I met them before they were Wu-Tang, when [RZA and GZA] were Rakeem and Genius. My first impression was of Genius being an extremely talented rapper and very funny — he had lots of wit and was very bright and everybody was impressed with his rapping ability. Rakeem was of the softer kind of personality and a good vibe person. He was soft-spoken and waited his turn to do his rapping. It was a very nice family vibe.
Ethan Ryman, co-engineer: When we started recording Enter The Wu-Tang, the whole group was usually there for every session; sometimes it felt like their whole neighborhood was in the studio. Every now and then RZA and I would have to clear the room so we could get to the equipment. I remember feeling there was a very forceful energy with them. They were not playing around. They would bark orders at each other, not just saying something matter-of-factly but saying things with a tone of underlying "or else" — like everything was super important. It was badass and I started doing it too. It was like nobody wanted to show any weakness.
Liz Fierro, art coordinator: Oh my goodness, what a cast of characters they were! First of all, we were so nervous about meeting them. They've got this mafioso rap persona, that's for sure, but they were the nicest bunch of guys that I've ever had the pleasure of working with in the industry. We had a huge bus and we had to go to Staten Island to collect them all and find them all and we don't know who's who 'cause they're all in hoodies and this and that. So like two of them were in McDonald's getting breakfast and one's over here by the pier. It was hysterical trying to get them all together. But we got them on the bus and then at the end of the day after the photo shoot, we dropped them all off in all these different locations like we were best friends. And Ol' Dirty Bastard, he was like, "If you ever need anything, Liz, you know who to call."
Vazan: The rest of them would say hi and give you a hug, but RZA would talk to me and tell me stories about how he's moving on to become this aggressive rapper out of protest at the industry and at life.
Chris Gehringer, mastering engineer, the Hit Factory: RZA has a lot of things going on in his brain, you could tell that. You could watch and see him take charge.
Ryman: One of my fondest memories was seeing RZA explain to the group, who were not the moguls they are today — like Meth told me back then he was living like a viking, no hot water, no heat! — that he had turned down a million-dollar offer from RCA who were looking to sign the individual rappers, as well as the group. We all know how that turned out. A very smart dude.
Vazan: They played me "Protect Ya Neck" and it was very hard and incredible and it never stopped hitting you, you know? It was line after line, verse after verse, but when it got to ODB and it got to Method Man, it was like, "Wow, who are these guys?" The first time you heard ODB, it was amazing; it was like the Louis Armstrong of hip-hop with so much character in his voice, like he's telling a story. ODB took you there into the text of his lyrics like a good storyteller, but also like a real actor.
Ryman: I can't remember what jam we worked on first, and at that point, it might have even been a demo, but I remember Rakeem being smart and real cool and we got along well. Very shortly after that, the studio got a little bigger and moved to 38th Street in Manhattan and that is where I remember the first real Wu sessions beginning.
Vazan: We were in the midst of doing Masta Ace's Sittin' on Chrome and we moved out to Manhattan. It took us a week to re-set-up the studio so Ace could continue doing his work, and the next thing I know Wu-Tang came in. We planned to do four albums, but I remember RZA came in and said, "I got six albums to do with you." It was Wu-Tang, Method Man, ODB, Gravediggaz, and I think he did two more at the same time. They couldn't afford to pay, but RZA said, "Don't worry, we're gonna pay you back." He was there for six months. They made Firehouse their home.
Ryman: I remember watching Genius wreck everyone at chess, and losing to him and RZA a few times myself, and playing cee-lo for dollar bills in the lounge. Cabs wouldn't stop for RZA back then, so when we left for the night, I would go to Seventh Avenue to hail a cab for him back to Staten Island. The driver's reaction to the switch was usually priceless.
Vazan: RZA always had a lot of thinking going on; he was the guy in the control room making his vision… I remember one day RZA comes in with a guitar and says, "I don't play guitar, but we're gonna get a few samples out of this instrument!" It was anything goes: Bring it in, we'll sample it and we'll use it. And I saw the evolution there. They used to come in with milk crates with the records and samples they wanted to use, then RZA comes in with his Ensoniq board, which was also a sequencer, and he actually recorded ODB into this machine. The recording was very crude because they know how to make beats, they don't necessarily know how to record, and the sound was terrible but it was a technological revolution happening in front of my eyes. No more milk crates; these guys are coming in with the machines!
Gehringer: It was a little bit of a shit-show! It wasn't the cleanest of audio, and it wasn't audiophile material, and they didn't spend a lot of time mic-ing and recording stuff, but sometimes art shows up in funny ways. I get that when people do stuff real grimy, and that record just seemed to work. I took that approach when I was working with it to maintain the dirt and the griminess, but at the same time, make it pump and kick and all that stuff. Most of the group were in for the album mastering and they kinda just said, "It is what it is." They almost said — I think this is the quote — "We're not like audiophile guys, we're grimy niggas from Staten Island!"
Vazan: It was nothing different than what we did at the Firehouse at that time. They used to call it "basement flavor," where it's a low-budget studio doing hip-hop music that sells a hundred thousand copies. It was that early-'90s sound.
Gehringer: There were no real arguments from the group about the sound quality, but a lot of people at the label were like, "Okay, that's it?" I was like, "Yeah, that's what they gave me. It's not going to really get any better sound-wise than that." I think that's what they were going for. The guys loved it, the label were kinda like, "Okay…"
Ryman: The final version of "Bring Da Ruckus" was not the original one we recorded. The first one had this blues sample that RCA couldn't clear, so we re-recorded the sample and some of the other tracks. Other than that, the album that I bought in the store was the one we recorded.
Gehringer: Yeah, I'm not super proud of the overall output of the original mastering of it 'cause a lot of the mixes were not that great sounding, but as the album took off, every time they did a single, someone remixed it and it came out with a little better quality. I know the single version of "C.R.E.A.M." sounded better than the album version.
Ryman: At the end of "C.R.E.A.M.," when Meth is saying, "Dollar dollar bill y'all," the last "Y'all" is pitched. That happened when RZA was laying down a sample of Meth doing the chorus, and while the tape was rolling, he rocked the pitch wheel on the sequencer to make that happen. That is some typical Wu-Tang creative fuck-you stuff.
Gehringer: We literally took a VHS machine and copied [the kung-fu samples] RZA wanted off the VHS machine and onto a DAT player and edited those pieces in… This was back in the days of pre-audio and computer workstations, so we were using digital editors that couldn't cross-fade more than half a second and they had a lot of those skits that they had to slide in. It was probably more work putting that part of the album together than anything else.
Ryman: I remember there were probably ten or 15 skits and kung-fu pieces that never made it. We were literally cutting like five seconds here, two seconds there to put all these things together that the RZA wanted to make. He wanted to make a statement.
Fierro: The idea for [the album cover] was a collaborative effort. We had gotten a bunch of props — masks and hats and hoodies and candles and, actually, I still have the candles from the photo shoot. And there were some members who didn't show up, so we decided to put masks on the members who were there. We also Vaselined the lens on [photographer] Daniel Hastings' camera so it would give that effect of begin really eerie and so nothing would be sharp. They wanted the masks, as well, though. I don't think we would have brought stockings on our own.
Jackie Murphy, art director: Daniel and I knew we had some missing members and we had these masks already as props. So because we had some absent members that day we put two of the managers in the shot. It helped that we had a clear vision of what the shots would be since the location was scouted and propped.
Fierro: We shot it at an old temple in Manhattan. I don't think the building was condemned, but it looked a little condemned. We had them staggered 'cause there were steps, which was where the altar was; we had a couple of guys on each level. They were really great for taking direction. We were nervous about working with them, we didn't know how they were going to be, and here's two little white girls from Long Island directing them, but they were so cooperative. Right after the photoshoot, we had a music convention… and some of the members of the Wu-Tang Clan were there. I remember Ol' Dirty Bastard was there and we were dancing with those guys all night long. He was doing some dirty dancing, that's for sure!
Gehringer: My main memory of ODB was one time we had just finished a record and we were in the lobby of the Hit Factory; Poke and Tone [of the Trackmasters] had just pulled up with Destiny's Child in their Jaguar. They walked into the lobby and were standing there waiting to go into the studio. ODB was like, "Yo, I'm ODB, Destiny's Child, I got to spit on your record." They literally all got back into the car and sat there! He harassed them!
Murphy: I remember having to call him from a pay phone at the Staten Island Ferry when he didn't show up for the photo shoot. We were running out of quarters and we wouldn't let anyone near the pay phone because we were waiting for return calls that we left on his answering machine.
Ryman: ODB was, I think, the first vocal we did — "Shame On A Nigga" maybe. He's in the vocal room and I adjust the large boom mic over his head, give him his headphones and show him how to adjust the volume and where to stand. Then I go back to the control room to get the levels and make sure he's comfortable with everything. So I'm looking at him through the glass and he's kind of fidgeting and playing with his hands and looking nervous and I thought maybe he wasn't used to being in the studio and was used to having a mic in his hand like on stage. So I push the talk-back button and say to him something like, "Yo, if you're used to holding something, I can get you something to hold," meaning I would get him a handheld mic if it would make him more comfortable. He starts laughing and shaking his head because he thinks I was telling him that if he was scared he could hold my dick! We got along well after that. He's one of the wildest dudes I have met, but also a really intelligent, talented man.
Gehringer: One time he was at the Hit Factory and they were working on a Wu-Tang record there, and ODB literally said, "I'm going out to get a pack of cigarettes." I heard the next day he calls from L.A. He just went to an airport and got on a plane.
Vazan: In all the years I've been doing music and making recordings, since '81, you never know who's going to make it. I knew Das-EFX were very special, but I had no idea they'd be that big. When Wu-Tang came, we knew the buzz was out, but we didn't think it was going to sell, what, like five million? At one point, I just stopped keeping track. We didn't know it was going to be a whole cult. They came out of the projects and were making music that became a worldwide revolution. I remember one day after the album [was released], RZA called me and said, "I just bought this mansion in Ohio. I'm moving out to a mansion." It was beautiful.

I won't dream in circles next to you And before I wake I'll pray That for me you'll stay one more day, Just one more you'll stay with me. Colors and shapes of every size Form behind my wavered eyes. You breathe slow and hold my face; I drift off, lost in grace. Before I go to make my way; With a longing kiss I'll silently pray You'll hold me close and ask me to stay, You'll ask of just one more day with me, One more day you'll ask me to stay, with you. I know that we can't lay here forever, But all I want is one more day, one more day together.

I love "follow me" groups. Some bloggers don't believe in them. I think it's an excellent way to build traffic and grow higher in rank. In fact, that's how I built my blog-I brought this idea to Mom Bloggers Club groups.
I've noticed lately, that bloggers haven't been true to their promise of following back. I know that it can be time consuming but if someone follows you with your promise to follow back, you should! They will be patient at first, but they will unfollow you sooner or later.
Now, some advice to those who want to build their audience through following:
1. Join or start a follow group. Make sure you follow everyone!
2. Leave a comment letting them know that you followed them and would love to have them follow back.
3. Comment on this blogs too often. That's how you find readers and keep them.
4. Make sure you actually have a way for readers to follow. Many join following groups with no way to follow.
I hope this helps those who are wondering about the importance of following blogs!
If you say you will follow everyone, then you should. Otherwise, don't say it and make sure you are receiving emails when people follow you so you can keep track and check them out to see if you really want to follow them. Sometimes you don't wish to follow based on content and language they use.
My 2 cents :)
I was just looking at the groups section of this site (relatively new to Mom Bloggers Club...) and the groups seem so old. Some started a year or more ago. Would you suggest joining one of these, which have tons of members, or starting fresh with a new group? And if so, how would I go about starting one? I appreciate your advice!! Definitely would love more views and followers to our blog! Thanks so much! www.sugaraunts.blogspot.com
Colleen at Sugar Aunts
There are some old ones but they still get new joiners. I would probably go with a fresher group. I have joined some and people don't seem to follow as much as they used to. There are blog hops as well. It's been hard to find loyal followers. I've followed many and yet to have them follow back. I'll have to clean out my list!

Two Days With Star Wars: The Old Republic
- |
- 9:00 am |
- Permalink
It's lunchtime during the first of two Star Wars: The Old Republic immersion days at the EA Redwood Shores campus, and the game designers leading the event are panicking: Everyone is talking about Portal 2. Instead of discussing the three exclusive hours of SWTOR we just played, most of the writers are chatting about the Portal 2 release and single-player campaign, which everyone feels pales in comparison to its co-op.
[partner id="arstechnica"]Eventually one writer prompts another with, "So, what do you think of TOR?" (All the BioWare representatives refer to it as TOR.) And the reactions are positive: The voice acting is great, gameplay is fun, and maybe the trash planet Hutta doesn't make for the most impressive starting area, but there are few complaints beyond game balance tweaks.
SWTOR has seen a lot of hype since it was announced in 2008. Everyone from Knights of the Old Republic fans to disillusioned World of Warcraft players has been anticipating its release, and so far, all the gameplay snippets the press have been afforded have lived up to the high expectations, if not exceeded them.
But SWTOR has been just out of reach for a little too long now. As a story-driven MMORPG, we can only connect to it so well with pieces of plot and teases of the innovative concepts that litter the game. Spending hours at a time with the game is a little better, but to dig any deeper emotionally, beyond the blushes of fanboyism we get with every trailer, we need the thing in our hands, we need a character that's ours. Fortunately, BioWare recently confirmed the game will be out before this year is over, so we won't wait much longer.
That's not to say that there has been anything but consistent effort from the team behind the game. SWTOR's story, which takes place 3,500 years before Star Wars IV: A New Hope, has been in development at least since 2006. According to Daniel Erickson, SWTOR's lead writer, the writing team has generated 16 novels' worth of written content for the game, one for each class specialization.
And that's in development of the role-playing part of the game that plays to BioWare's strengths. Creating their MMO, and then weaving the stories into its persistent landscape, has proved to be the most challenging part. The team has relied heavily on its members' experience in developing past MMOs, aping off their solutions to common MMO problems, like how to place resurrection areas or distribute enemies and quest goals, and customizing them to fit BioWare's style and various plots.
"They are sort of our canaries in the coal mine," Erickson said of SWTOR's designers and developers. Without them, he said, "you might start going down a path that someone already tried in an MMO and failed miserably." The team has brought knowledge of many other non-MMO games as well, even looking to console-based sports games as inspiration for reward systems.
But Erickson notes too that editing is an important aspect of development, as it's easy for MMOs to become overextended with mechanics and concepts that ultimately go unused. Of the game mechanics selection, Erickson noted that they needed to make sure "the ones you use are right for your specific game."
One of BioWare's biggest concerns is how MMO players, notorious for valuing cold minimization of effort for maximum results above everything else, will respond to their MMO interpretation, where story is supposed to be the main attraction. "MMO players will do whatever is the most efficient, even if it is the most boring," said Emmanuel Lusinchi, an associate lead designer.
Because of this, the team has paid special attention to mechanics that will drive players back to the story, such as a holo-communication system that makes dialog with NPCs easier for groups, and have tried to make the storylines as compelling as possible. "It's always story versus gameplay versus immersion," Erickson said, and changing one will always affect the other two.
While we couldn't fully attach to our characters over the two days we were allotted with the game, we were given free reign to get as far as possible in the PvE campaign, talk to any NPCs, take on any quests, and run any flashpoints we could find (but no one got more than one). And the game is looking great — expansive, immersive, even a little moving in parts.
There are still portions of the game BioWare won't discuss, indicating it still has a long way to go before the launch this year. But the gamemakers have accomplished the meshing of online play and RPG better than any of their predecessors.

7/29/2013 5:45pm--True enough. "I was tired" is a total cop-out.
If they're recording and posting video in the first place probably have the ability to edit as well. Tha's the key. Edit out the lame stuff and focus on the good portion.
If they cant look good with that most basic element of muti media production at their disposal then it's probably indicative that their whole workout was weak in the first place.
Only impressive if they actually can play eruption. Even then, it's hardly worth putting up with just to buy a bag of weed...
As for being brave by posting things online? Man, courage has @#$%-all to do with posting things on youtube. All one needs is stupidity. There's plenty of that to go around.

Easy to install Written By Todd, TX on Monday, June 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very easy to install and directions are pretty straight forward. Pros: Easy to hookup Cons: So many wires makes it hard to cram behind radio. When I switch over to using RCA instead of speaker wire that will clean up a lot.
Great product Written By Jeremy C, Tullos, LA on Saturday, May 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First thing is you also have to have the maestro box too. I thought you only needed this but ended up having to wait on the box. It's all color to color wiring which is pretty easy. Don't get intimidated looking at all the wires it's not that bad. Over all good product. Pros: Colors matched with radio wires good, made the maestro box installation easier. Cons: Didn't know I had to have the maestro box too (sold separately). Instructions are online.

Cons: Needed to put a resistor in-line for proper control of the stereo (unit kept changing sources without anything being touched - Pioneer FX-H700BT). Easy fix, but just annoying. Crutchfield's tech support was great and was all over it.
maestro rr gm harness for 2011 2500HD Written By mike, Luling, LA on Friday, January 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Ok the instructions don't come with it... so have your phone with adobe handy. Also if you have a factory amplifier, there is a modification that must be completed to the harness so that the chimes work, this would be fine as it's not that hard to do BUT there is no mention of it anywhere. I had to listen to aweful chimes for 2 weeks before I recieved a PDF file which showed the modification. Crutchfield also advised me to disconnect the "amp on" wire, stating that this function is controlled by the data cable... wrong, with that cable disconnected I got a very loud buzzing noise when the chimes were supposed to sound. I'm not knocking Crutchfield for this as they were very courteous and even called me a couple of times with different things to try unexpectedly. This is on the manufacturer, the PDF I recieved said that the modification had to be completed on all GM vehicles with a factory amplifier, you would think they would post it on the site, in the install file, or at least send it to their dealers (Crutchfield) so they could assist their customers. Once all was fixed it worked pretty good, the static and distortion in the chimes still come around sometimes but it's not as bad or as often.

In high heels and head scarves, a small band of Afghan women took to the streets of the country's capital, Kabul, on Thursday to protest harassment by men in public places. Carrying signs, that read "This street also belongs to me" and "We won't stand insults anymore" the 20 or so women -- and some men marching in solidarity -- protested being abused, groped and followed on the city's streets. Afghanistan remains a deeply conservative country, with heavy cultural and social restrictions on women's freedoms, even though the ouster of the hardline Taliban nearly a decade ago brought huge improvements in their legal rights.
The report seeks to put back on the agenda some of the issues pertaining to the enjoyment of all human rights by all Afghan women that are being increasingly ignored. The problems identified in this report require further discussion and public debate, with a view to informing appropriate legal, policy and awareness-raising measures. In this report, UNAMA Human Rights has focused on the following critical issues: (a) violence that inhibits the participation of women in public life; and (b) sexual violence in the context of rape.
This (15 page) paper examines three Muslim contexts (Iran, Afghanistan, and Alergia) to show how 'the woman question' figured predominantly in Islamist discourses and legal frames, and how these discourses and laws led not only to social and sexual control over women but also to physical violence and death. Moghadam situates the sources of such violence in the legacy of "heroic masculinity", the unveiling of women in the context of changes in the gender regime and cultural practices, economic and political difficulties, and international factors.
This report discusses issues of forced marriage, selling and enslaving women (trafficking), and using women and girls as dispute settlements within the framework of socially acceptable practices (bad) in Afghanistan.
This report comprises the Afghanistan component of an internal project examining women's participation in family and domestic violence health policy and policy development. Carried out across five different countries – Canada, Australia, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Afghanistan – the goal of the project was to describe the characteristic of the domestic violence health policy community in each country. The report begins with a rationale for the project and an introduction to the unique situation facing women in Afghanistan.
In this report, the Special Rapporteur of the Commission on Human Rights on violence against women, its causes and consequences, welcomes the ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women by the Government of Afghanistan as a sign of its political will and commitment to end gender discrimination. However, despite some progress over the last year, concerns remain which the Special Rapporteur has outlined, along with the remaining challenges yet to overcome.
This report discusses the situation of violence against women in Afghanistan as of 2006. Yakin Ertürk, the former UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, reports that the situation of women is dramatic and severe violence against them all-pervasive. Four factors underlie women's vulnerability and the perpetuation of violence: the traditional patriarchal gender order; the erosion of protective social mechanisms; the lack of the rule of law; and poverty and insecurity in the country.
The section that relates to violence against women begins on page 39 of this report. It addresses violence against women in the family and discuses the fact that the Afghan Criminal Code contains no provision that clearly criminalises violence in the private sphere. It discusses the problem of rape victims, when reporting their assault to the police, being charge for zina offences. There is a long section addressing the problem of zina crimes and punishments in general, including the fact that 'running away from home' can incur a zina conviction.
Violence against women in Afghanistan, according to this report by Amnesty International, is perpetuated by a 'culture' of impunity on a vast scale for such violence. In Afghanistan, few cases of abuse and violence are reported to the criminal justice system, and almost none of the cases that were have been subject to investigation or prosecution. Amnesty International's research indicated that in some parts of the country custom or tradition is used to legitimise the violent deaths of women.
Uphold the rights of Afghan women and girls to be freed from gender-based violence. Secure the independence of women shelters in Afghanistan. The Global Campaign to Stop Violence against Women in the Name of 'Culture', an international network of women's human rights defenders and advocates, fully supports our sisters in Afghanistan in resisting their government's attempt to put the country's women shelters under State control. If the Afghan government proceeds with this proposed legislation, it will invite serious risks to the already-fragile security of women and girls who are in desperate need of protection from gender–based violence in their country. This development is alarming and deserves the attention of the international community.
