I've dropped the old core fonts with --enable-builtin-fonts in the xserver (1.5.3) : not very nice for the division symbol in xcalc, no other problems I've noticed - and I just put the fonts there and let it work. I've got various TTF directories (dejavu etc) in /usr/share/fonts plus a /usr/share/fonts/X11-TTF symlink to a non-existent /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ttf. I guess you can say I've stopped worrying about the fonts. So, what is different for you ? When you say the text looks as if it has been rendered at a ludicrously small size, I wonder about xorg-server (ISTR a previous lost the dpi information, but I could be mistaken, and anyway I think you said you were using 1.5.3). The other obvious candidate is freetype, even though it was working with 7.2. Dunno. I try to keep my systems in use for longer nowadays, but I haven't upgraded xorg on a working system for a bit over a year (and that was only because I had problems with the radeon driver on a mac ppc). Sorry, this isn't very helpful. ĸen > > Regards, > > Jeremy Henty > -- > http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support > FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html > Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce

Interesting take from LGF.. some behind the scenes stuff, has been apparent for a while now.. trouble in Paradise???? Little Green Footballs - Robert Stacy McCain's Angry Departure From the Washington Times
"Swear to God, if they ever want a Gentile prime minister, my first order would be to deploy the IDF in a north-south line, facing east. My second order would be "forward march" and the order to halt would not be given until it was time for the troops to rinse their bayonets in the Jordan. After a brief rest halt, the order "about face" would be given, and the next halt would be at the Mediterranean coast. That's my "Middle East peace plan," and until it's carried out, there will be no peace." - Stacy McCain http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/02/malkin-award--8.html

Charles Robinson and Richard Clark arrived in downtown Hickory at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday morning. They were waiting on a turkey.
"We weren't even the first ones here," Clark said. "There was already a line."
Robinson and Clark were two of about 200 people who lined up early Wednesday morning to receive a free turkey and "fixin bag" at the Greater Hickory Cooperative Christian Ministries on 1st Avenue in Hickory.
The ministry partnered with area supermarket chain Galaxy Food Stores, which committed to donate a 10- to 12-pound turkey to the needy for every $10 donated "fixin bag" purchased at its stores.
After two months of donations, Galaxy amassed about 640 turkeys and "fixin bags" to donate. Officials say donations are still pouring in, and they expect to give out 800 dinners by the end of the holiday season.
"I'm very thankful to have this. This is all right," Robinson said after receiving his turkey and "fixin bag" on Wednesday. "It's going to be good. Somebody's going to cook it, but it's probably not going to be me."
By 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, about 250 people had already picked up their free turkey.
Galaxy Food Stores Owner Ricky Knighton said the turkey dinners that aren't given away will be saved for a Christmas giveaway.
"It's a real thrill to do this and help out the community," Knighton said. "It's pretty special."
Galaxy participated in a turkey giveaway last year for local churches, but Knighton said they wanted to expand the program this year because the need spiked. He said he's had a 100 percent increase from last year in requests for food donations.
"We've seen a tremendous spike in customers using food stamps this year," Knighton said. "We thought we should help out the increasing number of people suffering unemployment."
A line of people stretched around the ministry's rear loading dock on Wednesday waiting for a free turkey and Thanksgiving meal. Men, women, parents and children all took a "fixin bag" and then a turkey from Galaxy store managers and officials.
"Thank you," most said.
Taylor Ward and Dylan Cody are two Troop 234 Boy Scouts from Hickory.
The 12-year-old boys helped pass out turkeys on Wednesday during their day off from school.
"It feels good to give to people, and it's not actually as hard as I thought it would be," Dylan said as he stacked empty boxes that held the turkeys.
Dylan and Taylor said they are spending Thanksgiving with their families this year. They said helping out at the ministry makes them thankful for what they have.
"Stuffing is my favorite part about Thanksgiving, and spending time with family as well," Dylan said.

Champion® Athleticwear Launches New Website, Www.ChampionSportsBras.com, Dedicated To Sports Bras And Women's Fitness
Champion Athleticwear, recognized as the founder of sports bras, has launched a new website, www.ChampionSportsBras.com, dedicated to that essential piece of women's fitness equipment. As the only website focused exclusively on sports bras, the site's content includes personalized sports bra finder, fit and support guide, care tips and a blog with posts from the experts on sports bras and other topics related to healthy living, fitness and more.
" Champion understands that for most women, the sports bra is a critical piece of fitness equipment, so we've designed this website to be her absolute go-to resource," said Janet Mistor, senior marketing manager for Champion Athleticwear Women's. "The site will feature all things related to sports bras from previews of the latest styles to tips on fit plus inspiring weekly blog updates from the experts who know it best on leading a healthy, active life."
What began 35 years ago with a prototype constructed from two stitched-together jock straps has evolved into a highly engineered technical wonder. Today, Champion Athleticwear offers 19 sports bra silhouettes designed for all types of fitness activities, levels of support and sizes that enable millions of women to exercise in comfort and with confidence. In a 2011 survey conducted by Champion Athleticwear, nearly 60 percent of respondents characterized the sports bra as "mission critical, can't exercise without it."
"The new Champion sports bra website will help women navigate the broad offerings of sports bras now available on the market, and identify the style and size that is perfect for her. She can even register her Champion sports bra on the site and receive a reminder when a replacement is due," said Mistor. "We know from speaking with women that finding that perfect sports bra makes a tremendous difference in her fitness experience. When they are comfortable in their gear, women tell us that they are more likely to exercise more frequently, for longer periods of time and with more effort."
As the industry leader and founder of sports bras, Champion makes a natural connection with many women. Retail data generated by The NPD Group indicates that women are choosing to buy Champion sports bras over any other brand. "According to research, we sell a Champion sports bra every 20 seconds," said Mistor.

28.04.05 - By Ali Mohammed: On April 30, two of the biggest names in the current boxing business will square off to fight for the WBA heavyweight championship. Two different schools will be involved in this blockbuster; the first school will be presented by Norman Stone and John "the quiet man" Ruiz and the second school will be presented by Freddie Roach and James "lights out" Toney. What makes this fight interesting is that both camps are so confident. When you hear Stone/Ruiz's side, you may think that this couple is the most confident in the world. Both of them had some firing comments against the Toney camp. When Stone was asked about Toney he said "Just no excuses Toney, be ready", Stone even emphasized that Toney fought nobody in the heavyweight except the old version of Holyfield and that he's no more that an over weighted middleweight. John Ruiz (41-5-1, 28 KO's) is probably the most criticized boxer in boxing. However, he's still a world champion and is able to somehow defeat high contenders. Most boxing fans are of the opinion that Ruiz is boring and hope that Toney beat him in that fight to get red of Ruiz, but Ruiz is still cool under pressure and focused on the mission in hand. "My style is not the prettiest style in the world, but it gets me a win, by the reporters and commentators continually talking negative about my style, all that does make people hate it more. I guess they would rather see someone else rather than me in the ring," Said the WBA world champion. With Stone by his side defended his fighter and attacked HBO boxing analyst Larry Merchant for criticizing Ruiz by saying that he's no more than a Greco-Roman boxer. Despite the critics, we have to give Ruiz all the credit for his lion kind of heart and for the always come back manner that he usually shows in the ring. We also have to respect Ruiz for learning from his past mistakes. Another important thing about Ruiz is that he gives every boxing lover a hope that he can be a champion whatever the physical ability he has. In the Roach/Toney side, there is some of overconfidence especially with the "lights out" Toney. Toney thinks that he's the best in the world, unbeatable and will knock out Ruiz with ease, "Ruiz keeps talking about fighting the best, Ruiz is fighting the best - me!" says Toney. But he has to be careful with this, he's fighting a fighter that has all what it takes to beat anyone, stamina, smart as well as size compared to Toney, even Ruiz chin and stamina are not bad at all. Toney (68-4-2, 43 KOs) relies a little bit on moving his upper part of his body to avoid punches and to land some shots; he has the old school type of boxing, with power and smarts. In my opinion, Toney's only downfall is his size as he's only a 5'9. Moreover, Toney has to adjust to Ruiz difficult type of boxing, which has many names like (punch and clinch) and (jab and grab), yet Toney seems to have no problem with Ruizs unique type of fighting. "I make adjustments inside the ring, whatever he comes with, I will adjust. I will do what I do. Im knocking him out. Flat out. Theres no strategy involved. You train hard and go out there and fight. I adapt very well in each round and I dont see anything going wrong. Said a confident Toney. Still, a lot of Toney fans are worried that he has rushed in losing weight to come in shape for the fight, and it looks like he failed in this, as he scaled in at 233 - a career high for him. Nevertheless, Toney is more of a talented fighter, that use his skills in the ring to face whatever comes to him, whereas Ruiz is a more of a schooled fighter that likes to study his opponent very well before he get in with him in the ring; Ruiz also prefers to start with a preset strategy and follow it through to the end. In my opinion, Toney can win this fight by out speeding and out powering the Puerto Rican, and by avoiding his jab with his head movement. He also will make things easier for him if he keeps himself away from Ruiz's constant clinches. Ruiz heavily relies on his jab accuracy, if he succeeded in catching Toney's head with as many jabs as possible despite the Toney's head movement, he will wear Toney down. Another thing is that if Ruiz succeeded to enforce his clinching to Toney, Toney will be in a real trouble. Anyway, it is not going to be an easy fight for either of them, but what I do thing is that this fight is going to be a war between fighters that each one of them is looking to be the best in the world.

F5's New Hardware Platform Helps Customers Consolidate Dynamic Application Services
F5 Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIV), the global leader in Application Delivery Networking (ADN), today announced the BIG-IP ® 4200v hardware platform. This new appliance offers leading performance to support the consolidation of IT services for mid-sized enterprises facing high traffic volumes, as well as cloud organizations and service providers. In addition, the platform provides enhanced SSL processing capabilities, helping customers improve security while increasing server capacity and reducing overall systems costs.
"With F5's versatile Application Delivery Controllers, customers can perform a growing number of valuable IT functions in the network," said Jason Needham, VP of Core Traffic Management and Cloud Solutions at F5. "The 4200v is a purpose-built hardware device with the processing power to support multiple application delivery services, offload SSL processing, and efficiently scale on a unified solution platform. With competitors, organizations would need to deploy multiple point products to add ADN services, further increasing infrastructure complexity and costs."
According to Gartner Executive Programs' Amplifying the Enterprise: The 2012 CIO Agenda 1, two of the top CIO strategies for this year include: "Developing or managing a flexible infrastructure" (#3) and "Reducing the cost of IT" (#2). With F5's new hardware offering, organizations can seamlessly combine multiple services—such as traffic management, high availability, SSL offloading, security, access control, and acceleration—on a single device. This comprehensive approach helps customers scale systems to meet their needs while minimizing costs and management concerns.
F5's intelligent and adaptive ADN platforms support all types of IT environments—including traditional data centers, cloud resources, and virtualization solutions. Highlights and performance metrics of the new BIG-IP 4200v hardware platform include:- Leading Application Layer Performance in Class – The 4200v delivers 850,000 layer 7 requests per second, offering industry-leading performance among mid-range Application Delivery Controller platforms. By providing a high-performance appliance in this range, F5 offers a comprehensive ADN solution that meets the demanding traffic management, security, and optimization needs of mid-sized enterprises and other organizations supporting multiple applications and services. The ability to process more requests per second at the application layer enables the 4200v to make intelligent decisions based on business policies, such as inspecting application payloads and removing confidential information.
- Enhanced SSL Performance for Added Security – The 4200v provides 9,000 SSL TPS for 2K Keys and 8 Gbps of bulk SSL throughput performance, up to 4x what competitors can offer. With these SSL processing levels, organizations can easily encrypt all types of data transfers—not just login and financial transactions—without sacrificing overall performance. The hardware platform's SSL processing capabilities can also offload CPU-intensive tasks from application servers, freeing up additional capacity and reducing the cost of managing SSL certificates.
- Hardware Compression for Optimized Operations – Reducing the amount of data through compression technologies helps optimize applications, especially over limited-bandwidth networks. By offloading compression from application servers with dedicated hardware, the 4200v reduces server load and mitigates the need to add more servers to scale IT services. The 4200v also boasts the highest compression throughput of any Application Delivery Controller in its class—2x that of the nearest competitor—through its use of hardware compression.
- Leading Performance per Watt for Reduced Energy Costs – With its 80 PLUS Gold Certified high efficiency power supplies—a first in its class—the 4200v delivers leading performance per watt, at 3x that of the nearest competitor. This means less power use, lower cooling requirements, and reduced data center costs.

Huge fps drop ( dropping to 20 fps sometimes)since today patch on a Core 2 quad 2.66Ghz with a GTX 295. Never happen before. Edit: official post by RIOT update there: http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board...ad.php?t=37199
Junior Member
I'm getting terrible fps also bouncing from 20-70 seemingly at random. Looking at different parts of the map regardless of fog seems to be the issue. I'm going to go out on a limb and blame one of the christmas textures\doodads. Lowering details does help either. Running Win XP on a C2D @ 2.4ghz with a GTS 250. Edit: This happens on both maps so it's probably not a christmas thing
Senior Member
I'm also getting hoooorrrible video lag where I previously had none. CPU - E6600 2.66Ghz GPU - 8800 GTX
yea same here. b4 the patch i had 60 fps all the time. now it jumps back to 35 at random times. please fix.
Same problem here. Game stutters a lot now with hero movement, map movement and plays like it's on a computer with 256meg of RAM. Dunno what you guys did but it was flawless before. Windows 7 Pro 64bit 3ghz Core 2 Duo 4gigs RAM Nvidia GTX280 1gig On a side note, I use my 40inch LCD TV to play using a custom resolution @ 1080p (1828*1028). But this was never a problem before so it shouldn't be now. Please address this in a timely fashion, it's very annoying. Love the game otherwise, been playing since early beta and can't get enough=) Cheers, North
Same problem as well; Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz Memory: 6144MB RAM Hard Drive: 309 GB Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1) Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_rtm.090713-1255) Motherboard: Intel X48
Just gonna make a wild guess... but it seems to be Core 2 related...
Having this same issue, the game is near unplayable. Previously had no issues on the highest settings at 1920x1200. Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHZ Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 4 GBs ram Windows 7 64 bit
Posting to say I am experiencing the same game-killing frame rate tanks as others in this thread are. Pre-patch everything ran beautifully on the highest settings, now I experience regular frame rate dips. Intel Core2 Extreme Q6850 @ 3.00Ghz Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX 4 Gigs RAM Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Actually... what's weird is that everyone here has a core 2 *and* an nVidia card...

Energy Resources of Australia (ERA)
PUBLISHED: 18 Apr 2012 00:03:37 | UPDATED: 18 Apr 2012 05:20:41PUBLISHED: 18 Apr 2012 PRINT EDITION: 18 Apr 2012
Merrill Lynch has upgraded Energy Resources of Australia to "buy" from "underperform" and lifted its price target from $1.06 to $2.05. The broker believes the worst is behind the miner after several challenges including bad weather, natural disasters and the global financial crisis. The broker notes the miner is switching from underground mining to explore other opportunities as it completes its Ranger Pit 3 and moves ahead with the Ranger 3 Deeps project.

FS: Volcom Gore-Tex Jacket and Pants - size Large
Hi All,
Bought these brand new at the beginning of the season because of zip-tech, and while I love the technology and the features, I realized that a bib is the way for me to go. I just like the feeling of the bib and never having to deal with wind/snow up my back (I'm a tall dude and pants never did it for me). The jacket is blue and pants are orange. Both have been ridden 5 days and the only damage to either is a small rip at the bottom of the jacket from tree riding. Nothing a small Gore-tex patch won't fix. Otherwise, you are getting fully functioning gear. These are on sale now for $170 each (sizes and colors are limited though). I'm willing to let them both go for $250 shipped. Let me know if you are interested. Can post or email pictures if needed. Volcom L Gore-Tex Jacket - Men's | Backcountry.com Volcom L Gore-Tex Pant - Men's | Backcountry.com |

Relaxation is the key. I'm nowhere near hellbent on actually buying this. On top of that for all you know I could have been talking about the jacket, not pants. Lastly, some sellers prefer local over shipping. I know when i sell, I would much rather deal with a stranger in person than ship. Dont get worked up so quick. Theyre all yours. |

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.

I love Debbie Harry. I have known her since '76 or '77. I always thought she was the perfect woman—gorgeous, incredibly talented and intelligent. Unfortunately her boyfriend, Chris Stein, was my best friend, so...well, you know. Still my admiration for her has never wavered. She was and is the best. Her life has had a lot of ups and downs over the years, but Debbie still has the same great attitude and sense of humor, and she is still a fantastic performer and a brilliant lyricist. She looks great too. I caught up with her at a photo shoot with Mark Seliger. I brought my 11-year-old son Oscar along with me because he's a huge fan. He was wearing a Debbie T-shirt and he was in awe. Here's a little of our conversation.
GQ: Have you been working a lot?
Debbie Harry: Yeah, I've been on the road.
GQ: This record that's coming out now, did you make it a year ago?
Debbie Harry: Well I think we finished it like the spring of 2010. And then it just took us a while to figure out the marketing strategy because we have an independent thing now. We're working without a regular label, and it's kind of difficult. Now we have Amazon doing this special release, limited edition. I really like Amazon.
GQ: Did you do a lot of touring this summer?
Debbie Harry: Fair amount. I think we did five or six weeks. And I did a few promo trips to the UK and Europe. Last year we did a ton of touring. We did about six months.
GQ: How do you do that? Do you just go driving around the country?
Debbie Harry: Well, yes. Usually we take a tour bus.
GQ: Do you like touring?
Debbie Harry: You just get into a groove. We try to make it as comfortable as possible. Everyone just hops on the bus after the show, we watch TV and have a snack and then go to bed. It's sort of like a home on wheels—it's not so bad.
GQ: And who goes to your shows? What's your demographic?
Debbie Harry: We've always had a pretty wide one, huh? We've had a pretty wide demographic all along.
GQ: I went to see the Rolling Stones in Houston with Don Was and Michael Zilkha and everybody in the audience was old. I think it was maybe because the tickets were like five hundred bucks. Everyone was drinking chardonnay. A week later, I saw U2 and everybody there was young—except me and Al Sharpton.
Debbie Harry: Yeah, well, we get a good amount of kids.
GQ: That was a wild wig you were wearing on that TV show Guitar Center Sessions. It looked like a Frank Gehry building.
Debbie Harry: Was it the white one?
GQ: Yeah it was really long in the back. Kind of art deco.
Debbie Harry: I love those white wigs.
GQ: Did you ever try on Andy Warhol's wig?
Debbie Harry: No, did you?
GQ: Yeah. He was dead though. I did it at the Warhol museum. It gave me strange dreams.
Debbie Harry: And? His head was smaller than yours?
GQ: It was a little tight. Did Andy steal the platinum in front black-in-the-back look from you?
Debbie Harry: Yes. Well, I don't know. Maybe that was his real hair poking through.
GQ: When you play now, and you play old stuff and new stuff mixed together, do people respond well to stuff they've never heard before?
Debbie Harry: In the beginning, we were met with some resistance about it. We played a lot of the new stuff last summer and there was no release yet to support it. Some of the die-hard fans would make comments. But most of the audience would listen. We structure the shows so that they have a continuity and flow. So the new songs make sense.
GQ: How many songs does the band know?
Debbie Harry: I don't know. We know a lot.
GQ: Do you do any covers?
Debbie Harry: Yeah. We did a whole New York tribute the last time we were at Nokia. We did a Ramones song. A Thunders song, a Television song—a bunch of New York stuff. It was fun.
GQ: Have you heard Tom Waits's album, Orphans?
He does two Ramones songs and they're really great.
Debbie Harry: We do a couple of them. "Havana Affair," "Pet Sematary"...
GQ: So, GQ wants to know why are you still around?
Debbie Harry: I can't figure out if it's because I'm smart or stupid. Probably some of both, right? I mean, what else am I going to do?
GQ: I think people are often survivors if they don't hit it big too young. You went through a few things before you got too famous. I also think doing the crossword puzzle helps. Do you still do the New York Times crossword puzzle?
Debbie Harry: No. But I do still really like words a lot. I know you do too.
GQ: Your lyrics are still really good. Always surprising.
Debbie Harry: Thanks. I really am enjoying writing more than ever. I feel like I'm so much more focused than I was in the early times. Something has changed. Maybe it's about being a survivor. I just wish more people had survived. I imagine what Johnny Thunders would be like. I think he'd be so amazing right now. It's so sad, really.
GQ: I can't watch TV Party without wishing Richard Sohl [of the Patti Smith Group] was still around, he was so great.
Debbie Harry: Yeah, and Steve Sprouse too. Oh God, we don't have to go there. You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't. But I'm really happy that Chris and I are working together and that we're doing good work. They say that being creative and learning things, is really the right way to learn and to grow into age. So I can't help but do that really.
GQ: If you're good at something you should keep getting better at it. Right?
Debbie Harry: I agree completely.
GQ: I think maybe the end of the record companies as we used to know them may actually help artists's longevity, because record companies always wanted to push something that's new. But a lot of the best music is produced by older artists. To me, Dylan's later records are better than the middle ones.
Debbie Harry: I've been to a couple of his shows, even in different countries and people are just wild for him. And he just wants to play music.
GQ: He must play 300 nights a year. Did Bob Dylan ever try to pick you up?
Debbie Harry: No, but I would like it if he did. I don't know, does Bob Dylan pick people up?
GQ: I don't know. He used to hire nude models to paint. You know, he's having an art show at Gagosian. He's selling paintings. Maybe he's making more money from selling paintings than he is from music.
Debbie Harry: Music has a high overhead.
GQ: I think you should dress the band. You should make them wear suits. And the keyboard player really needs you to do something with his hair. He needs hair work.
Debbie Harry: I like his hair. Do you want it shorter?
GQ: It's too big. It's competing with you.
Debbie Harry: No, he just has a big head.
GQ: In the beginning of Blondie everybody wore these cool suits. It was sharp.
Debbie Harry: We try to keep it a little organized but... I'll make the suggestion, but I don't know how it will be received.
GQ: Aren't you the boss? [Laughs.]
Debbie Harry: No comment.
GQ: I think you should do cleavage too.
Debbie Harry: Sometimes I do. I was trying to replicate the album art. I was doing that sort of combination of a pirate and ballerina. I had a big long dagger stuck in my belt. It was kind of fun. And the big white hair. It was sort of a fantasy thing.
GQ: I like the hair. What about a gown, like a Mae West type thing. Pardon my suggestions.
Debbie Harry: I'll give it a try. Sometimes skirts make me feel a little self-conscious. It takes me some time to sort of grow into that sort of mood. But I do like the things with the fish tail. I just don't want to look like a cabaret kind of thing.
GQ: I don't think you're in danger with being typecast as a cabaret performer.
Debbie Harry: I just have mixed feelings about dressing my age and dressing rock and roll and dressing punk. It's sort of up for grabs, depending on the mood. At festivals I don't think wearing a gown would be appropriate.
GQ: Why? Because you might have to make a run for it? Because it's muddy?
Debbie Harry: It's rough out there, you know. It's funky.
GQ: Speaking of funky, they gave me a recorder with funky batteries. It's dying and the hairdresser wants to run the blow dryer. I'm just going to reuse questions I asked you and answers you gave me before.
Debbie Harry: That's a good idea. We've been down this road before.
Glenn and Debbie, 1979
GQ: Do you have any fantasies of things you'd like to buy if you get really rich? Aside from a home in Virginia Beach.
Debbie Harry: Well, I do have fantasies of buying a helicopter and a lot of machine guns, but I don't know if I can do that. I'd like to have a lot of weapons, grenades and things. And I want to have a solar energy machine. And I want to have a sunken garden with a glass roof. I guess that's about it for now. I have a few other wants but I can't remember them now.
GQ: Do you get nervous before you go on stage?
Debbie Harry: I get excited. Sometimes I have doubts. I always scream before I go on, 'I don't want to go. No! No! I don't want to do it!' But I do it anyway. I just have to say that. It's like part of the ritual.
GQ: Do you watch the group that goes on before you or hide out?
Debbie Harry: Most of the time I check 'em out; check out the audience. Everybody says, 'Oh you're not supposed to look at the audience.' I always look at them.
GQ; Do you know any good hangover cures?
Debbie Harry: Yeah, goldenseal. Get real good capsules of goldenseal, mix em' with a little ginseng powder. Actually about five of those caps. It works great.
GQ: What do you do in your leisure time?
Debbie Harry: I haven't had too much leisure time since about '77. But I do a lot of different things because I have leisure time at different hours. Like, I have leisure time now in the morning, till about midday. Today I planted flowers. I had little sprouts that I had sprouted and I planted them, and I swept off the terrace, moved the chaise lounge on to the terrace and moved two pieces of the couch into the bedroom, and got some stuff from the cleaners. Real exciting, huh? But sometimes my leisure hours are reversed, from about 1 a.m. to dawn. I'll go to see groups or to free parties. Like I went to the free party that was held after the Barbarians show at Trax. I saw Sylvia Miles. That was it. I also like to go to that club I like, the name of which I won't mention. I walk around, go shopping. I haven't gone to the movies in a long time. I watch TV a lot. I like cable TV. I'm always running into Ugly George on the street. I do a lot of photo sessions. And now I'm doing a lot of our business. I like to go to the studios when other people are recording. I lig a lot.
GQ: You what?
Debbie Harry: Lig.
GQ: Oh, lig! What sign are you?
Debbie Harry: Cancer.
GQ: What are the other ones?
Debbie Harry: Which other ones?
GQ: You know, rising moon...
Debbie Harry: Sun in Cancer, Moon in Cancer, Scorpio rising.
GQ: What are the first songs you remember from your childhood?
Debbie Harry: "The Lollipop Tree." I think Burl Ives sang it. "Frog Went a Courtin'..."
GQ: What else did you used to do?
Debbie Harry: I used to paint. I painted portraits.
GQ: Do you think stopping that helped you succeed as a singer?
Debbie Harry: No, it's more of a commitment. You have to specialize. If you were a painter and a rock and roll musician and weren't established in either—to be an artist today you have to be as much a businessman to succeed, you have to spend an equal amount of time doing business as you spend doing your craft. So if I had to spend equal time doing paintings, and equal time going to galleries and doing art business, and equal time making music, and equal time going to record companies, or to the publicist or to the lawyer, forget it. It would take four times as long to do all that stuff. Unless I had a patron. That's why Leonardo da Vinci was successful. He had the Medicis, right?
GQ: Where are they now?
Debbie Harry: They still own everything.
GQ: I guess so, I wonder who they're patronizing?
Debbie Harry: I think they own the Vatican, in fact. This is getting too political. We don't want to step on any toes. It's bad enough that you admitted being a Catholic.
GQ: Did you have a religious upbringing?
Debbie Harry: Oh sure.
GQ: In what faith?
Debbie Harry: Episcopalian. No incense. No confession.
GQ: Not too mystical, but good hymns.
Debbie Harry: Good hymns, and not too mystical actually, but I really am a mystic. I don't know where I got it from.
GQ: You're not a typical Protestant. I hate to say that there is a typical Protestant.
Debbie Harry: There is.
GQ: Protestantism is great business training.
Debbie Harry: It teaches you to be real pragmatic. Then you start to wonder about God. Then you just leave the church. A lot of Protestants don't go to church. But it's very social, very community-supportive. But I think that G-O-D is like the answer to a formula for creating life. Or some kind of energy or anti-gravity. It's like the answer to an equation and it's become mythical over the years. But at one time we all knew what it was. I don't know when it was exactly, but that was the ancient knowledge. It's become diffused as it was handed down and turned into myth. Just like the stories of Ulysses. I really wish that the great library of Alexandria never burned down, because we'd all be in better shape today if we had all those books. You know who burned it? The Romans. They wanted the power and they had it for a long time.
GQ: They're still in power.
Debbie Harry: They're still in power. They burned the fucking library. It really pissed me off. And I'm not the only one. I was at the Nova Convention and saw a poet perform this really great poem about the great library of Alexandria. I could hardly understand a word he said because he had a really heavy accent. His name was Dr. Oz or Dr. Wizard, or something like that. Anyway, I was really shocked because I had always felt that way, and he was up there raving about it. I have to agree. They fucking blew it.
GQ: Do you think there's a mystical element in rock and roll?
Debbie Harry: There is. It has to exist. It must be there.
GQ: Have you seen it lately?
Debbie Harry: I don't know. Have you?
GQ: I don't know. Maybe Chris has.
Debbie Harry: I think, actually, that rock and roll is a misconception. It should no longer be a term for music.
GQ: I should have said music.
Debbie Harry: In music the mystical element is definitely there all the time, and one can see it. When it comes to rock and roll, when it comes to any kind of industry, it's not there. It's not there. So it's a battle between the two. Music. Industry. But yet one exists off the other. It's really weird. Really weird. It's much the same process as what's happening now all over the world, this... devolution, I guess. I don't want Devo to think I'm ripping them off but...
Glenn and Debbie, 1986
GQ: How did you learn wrestling for the Broadway stage?
Debbie Harry: I went into training for eight weeks. We had the welterweight champion of Britain as our trainer.
GQ: So it's fake, right?
Debbie Harry: No, it's real. You get hurt. I got beat to shit. Wrestlers' backs go out. Their knees go out. It's the same as any sport. You learn how to fall and everything like that, but all kinds of misjudgments can happen. If you take the wrong step while you're throwing somebody, you could break his leg.
GQ: Well, it is impressive that those guys do what they do to each other without getting maimed.
Debbie Harry: Exactly. Those guys are in terrific shape and they're extremely strong. If they weren't in wrestling because of flamboyant personalities, most of them would probably be in team sports or stunt men. Gorilla Monsoon, he's really interesting.
GQ: You were into wrestling long before Cyndi Lauper took up with Captain Lou Albano. Do you think you're the toughest female vocalist?
Debbie Harry: No, the Weather Girls could kick my ass, but I could beat Cyndi Lauper. Anytime, anyplace!
GQ: Apparently some New York legislators want to ban wrestling.
Debbie Harry: I thought those hearings were about banning records. Are they going to rate wrestlers, too? Hulk Hogan would be rated G for general audiences, but the guy with the big bum... Brutus Beefcake. He'd definitely get an X rating.
GQ: I still think wrestling is fake.
Debbie Harry: No, it's real! Do you want to try it?
GQ: No thanks, Deb. I know you're a trained wrestler. What do you think about records being rated for content?
Debbie Harry: I think they should rate everything. Paperback books, TV shows, magazines.
GQ: What about footwear?
Debbie Harry: Definitely, I'm a fetishist about it. That's admittedly true. Shoes can be erotic.
GQ: And violent.
Debbie Harry: Yes, especially the left one. Rating feet will be the next step.
GQ: One of the Washington wives complaining about rock lyrics said she discovered the shocking truth about record lyrics in aerobics class, hearing the songs over and over again. It seems to me that since it takes so long to figure out the hidden meanings of songs, they should use aerobics classes to rate the records.
Debbie Harry: Listen, I know for a fact that a lot of ladies go to these aerobics classes and use the machines in health clubs to jack themselves off. I've seen it. They can have X-rated health clubs for all I care.
GQ: I've collected all of the exercise records and some of them are pretty suggestive. Jane Fonda's manner is so tight, I find it pretty compelling. Didn't "Heart of Glass" get banned from some radio stations because of the line "pain in the ass"?
Debbie Harry: Yeah, and with "X Offender" they made me change the name. That song was supposed to be called "Sex Offender." But renaming the song turned out all right. It was the first of a big trend of things beginning with the letter X. They took "pain in the ass" out of some version of "Heart of Glass" for the radio. But there was always a version available that said, "pain in the ass." There was just a single version that didn't. That was good because we could put stickers on the album that said "Contains the uncensored lyric."
GQ: I guess 1986 is about the 10th anniversary of punk rock, right? I've always thought that Punk magazine really established the term punk.
Debbie Harry: That was it. Punk magazine really started it as an actual thing. It was never really called punk rock before that.
GQ: Did you feel punk rock then?
Debbie Harry: We always said we were pop.
GQ: I think "new wave" was started by a Sire Records press release because they didn't want people to think the Talking Heads were a punk rock band.
Debbie Harry: No, it came from England.
GQ: But it was deliberately thought of as a nicer alternative to punk rock. It was a contrived phrase. It wasn't a street thing.
Debbie Harry: Bands didn't want to be called punk because they wanted to get on the radio. I remember journalists in Chicago being afraid to talk to me because they thought I was a punk. They were afraid that I was going to beat them. I actually like hardcore. I think I'm going to do a hardcore song on my new album.

Nigeria: Will APC Self Destruct?
by Benjamin Aduba
In my general view I see Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) base as the rich and powerful: Nigerians who have made a lot of money. The party could be described as the Nigerian Conservative Party. I see All Progressive Congress (APC) base as the educated class. The party could also be described as the Nigerian Liberal Party.
Like all generalizations this short hand does not fit all the time: there are education people in PDP and there are rich people in APC.
But let us use this shorthand for our present dialogue.
In the last couple of weeks APC has made two huge mistakes that would not please its base, the educated community. It advertised that a Rivers State senator was shot and nearly killed by the Nigerian police under the command of CP Mr. Mbu. Mr. Mbu is on record for not having a cordial relationship with the APC governor of Rivers State.
A top APC hand and the governor of Lagos Mr. Fashola went to a London hospital to visit with the ailing senator. He came back and confirmed that he had seen the senator and condemned violence the in Rivers State.
It has now turned out that the senator was not shot. There was not even a case of misidentification of the victim, nobody was shot. Earlier APC was all over the place calling for the head of Mr. Mbu and the heads of Nigerian Police High Command. It was a most irresponsible public posture. The police needs to be treated with respect in the interest of Nigeria. We need them to maintain the peace and a public rebuke of the force ought to be made with irrefutable evidence.
As if that were not enough recklessness APC Leadership issued a public instruction to its representatives in both the House and Senate not to participate in any actions originating from Aso Rock including budget proposals and screening of presidential appointments. A few days later the president submitted a list of Service Chiefs to the senate for confirmation. APC members did their public duty by participating in the screening exercise. Ostensibly ignoring the party directives.
Two things are wrong with this directive. In a democracy the majority rules. In other words even if only two members were present at the screening exercises and they approve the appointments the service chiefs would be duly appointed. Secondly if nobody shows up or if they do not approve the appointment the status quo anti would remain. In other words the existing High command would remain in office until their replacements are approved or if they had already departed their assistants would hold temporary positions. Is this what APC really wanted?
Both of these mistakes were made more stupid by the fact they played into the no-go-area of national security, a major concern to many Nigerians. How could APC be fighting President Jonathan using the security apparatus in an unstable nation when Nigeria is seriously threatened by insecurity? How could the party of the educated class behave in such crass manner? Does APC not know that its base is educated and could tell a bad move from a good move? It immediately raised doubts both about how educated the leadership is and how politically sophisticated the leadership is.
APC should recognize that it has not consolidated its base. It is a party in flux. APC has not fully absorbed and integrated the new comers into its fabric. The defectors from PDP have not fully acknowledged the founding fathers and to play the role of a new kid on the block. They are still thinking of pushing out of the way the founding fathers and if that fails they may consider going back to PDP. It is still possible that the pushed out founding members may defect to PDP and strengthen the sinking ship. What this means is that APC's newly found boldness must be mitigated by caution. Recklessly issuing a directive and making false accusations should not be part of the strategy for a party whose base is the educated class.
Finally the rule about issuing orders is that the issuer must be capable of making the orders obeyed or have the mechanism for punishing the people who do not follow orders. APC does not have this enforcing power. When APC members joined in the screening process, it was forced to issue an explanation that what it wanted was filibustering the process. For those us who have read the proceedings we do not see any filibuster either. So the call was simply ignored and APC can do nothing about it.
The danger here is that this makes it easier for another team of legislators to disregard future directives.
Another lesson to be learned from this is that there are other interests involved in what the President does. If for example the President appoints a service chief from Ogun State no matter what APC thinks of the President APC representatives from Ogun State would support the move. Even in US where party royalty is sacrosanct this disloyalty has been experienced. Who is not aware of the New Jersey Republican governor's collaboration with President Obama at the heat of election when NJ needed Federal help to clean up vicious storm's destruction?
Selfish interest is abroad in the world including in politics.

Whether waiting for a bus, buying a newspaper on the street, watching over a storefront or just walking, the New Yorkers in Saul Leiter's photographs possess a classic New York trait: They are alone in one of the most populous cities on earth. »Read Full Blog Post
