Only my second attempt at a starter so I thought I would see if anybody had input.
Wyeast W Yorkshire 1469 smack pack dated 5/12
it was partially inflated and sitting in my fridge for a few months before I used it. Unfortunately I didn't give it the recommended 3 hours in between smacking and pouring into the starter jar. I gave it about 10 minutes...
I made the started about 12 hours ago, and went straight to bed. I didn't see any activity and no evidence of a krausen.
think it worked? Igave it a bit of a stir about an hour before this was taken
the thin line about an inch off the bottom is the bottle, not the yeast.
Think I should feed it some more wort?
I plan on using this starter tomorrow afternoon
hmmm all I've got is a floating hydrometer, can't really check the SG
So I guess it didn't work
Holy smokes, what is that OG on that starter? It should be about 1.035 to 1.040. It looks like it's extremely high- and you'll stun/stress your yeast something awful! That's probably why the starter didn't "work". You want to grow yeast in a low stress environment before using it in a wort. You're far above ANY beer SG, and into wine territory. You'll stress, overwhelm, and kill your yeast with alcohol poisoning if it does take off.
I'd add water to the starter to get it to 1.040 and then give it a nice shake, cover it with foil and cross my fingers.
Unless that is a ridiculously tall test jar it almost looks like the hydrometer is bottomed out as the desk surface appears to be just a few inches below.
I know my test jar needs to be filled almost to the top to not bottom out.
OP-are you sure the hydrometer is actually floating??
Yeah I'm a bit mystified as well. It is definitely floating. I ended up dumping it and making another that seems to have worked judging by the post krausen leavings.
I'm not sure how the SG got so far off, maybe I added a cup of DME instead of a half?
Anyway thanks for the help, I do appreciate it.

Technology Expertise, Access and Learning for all Texans Project
The Texas State Library and Archives Commission is the proud recipient of a $7.96 million Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) stimulus grant from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
With this funding, TSLAC created the Technology Expertise, Access and Learning for all Texans Project (TEAL), which will upgrade and expand computing capabilities at more than 150 sub-recipient sites across the state, including 38 public libraries, community colleges, recreation centers and health facilities. Improvements will result in an additional 2,000 computer workstations available for public use, faster connectivity at participating sites, enhanced technology training classes for the public and more than 100 jobs (mostly training positions at participating sites). The project also provides training opportunities and webinars for librarians so that they are better prepared to meet the growing needs of their communities in the areas of technology, workforce development and educational attainment.
The TEAL Mobile Computer Lab Program provides technology training at local libraries for local patrons free of charge.
The TEAL blog provides library staff with useful technology training advice and curriculum, grant management resources and best practices in the areas of digital literacy and workforce development.
More information is available on NTIA's website, including grant application materials and reports submitted.

Munia Khan
I Just Want To Know
Who am I?
Am I just a flesh of despair on a plate of hopefulness?
Or just a mortal being suspending and choking from a sordid rope of disbelief?
Who am I?
Am I just a tangible soul wrapped with some transient elements pulsating for the salvation?
Or just a puny little individual under the awaked sky awaiting the innocence to fall?
Who am I?
Am I just a spirit of an aversion who is grasping the door of this world to get out but not wanting to leave?
Or just a desirous creature of God who longs for the unattainable?
Who am I?
Am I just an existence inhaling the infernal breeze in the form of heavenly wind but still not suffocated?
Or just a life on earth to embrace the adversity with the vanity full of vain pleasures?
Who am I?
Am I just a disgraceful heart that tries to beat for all the people but ends beating only for itself?
Or just an embodiment of perplexity in this remorseless universe?
Who am I?
I just want to know
Who am I? ? ?

An excellent poem in which the writer opens herself to the World with her frustrations and anguish fully laid out raw and bare, and yet whilst in this tormented state still reprimands herself for feelings of selfishness in her quest for the truth. This is a brave and honest piece which tells much of the writer. The ability to create such a connection with the reader deserves a 10. (Report) Reply

Let him that would move the world, first move himself.
Socrates (469 - 399 BC)
Contributed by: Zaady
The only true knowledge, consists in knowing, that we know nothing,
True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.
He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.
Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.
In every one of us there are two ruling and directing principles, whose guidance we follow wherever they may lead; the one being an innate desire of pleasure; the other, an acquired judgment which aspires after excellence.
Source: Quoted in: Plato, Phaedrus.
The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world is to be in reality what we would appear to be; and if we observe, we shall find that all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice and experience of them.
If a rich man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.
You think that upon the score of fore-knowledge and divining I am infinitely inferior to the swans. When they perceive approaching death they sing more merrily than before, because of the joy they have in going to the God they serve.
Source: Phaedo, 77.
If all the misfortunes of mankind were cast into a public stack in order to be equally distributed among the whole species, those who now think themselves the most unhappy would prefer the share they are already possessed of before that which would fall to them by such a division.

? re: scrapbooking using a hardcover book
I'm hoping one of you scrapbooking ladies can help me. I'm not a scrapbooker, but I met someone today who told me about a book she saw about making scrapbooks using hardcover books. She's never actually made one so was a little vague about instructions, but it got me interested. Is there anyone here familiar with this craft. I'm up to my ears in quilting right now, but thought I'd like to look into this for something to do after Christmas. Any info ( books, websites etc.) would be most appreciated.
Not many people are doing this now. I think you take a hardcover book and take out some/all the pages. Or fold them and put scrapbook stuff on them. If I remember I deceided against it as it seemed bulky and messy. You could google scrapbooks-hardcover books and see what comes up.

Riding the wave of popularity surrounding various app stores from Apple to Nintendo, Sony has dipped its toe into the downloadable content pool and found the water to be just fine. Developers, apparently, are just as excited -- no doubt in part because of the ease of porting existing projects from things like cell phones.

Historical Traveler Reviews Mercure Porto Centro
Good Value close to the centre
Just come back from Portugal. We spent our first 3 nights here and thought that the hotel was adequate for our purposes.
We had a great view from our hotel room (I think it was 312), which overlooked the train station (unfortunately you could hear some of the announcements in the morning) and the whole city. We were very happy there and the room was very clean and presentable, if nothing special.
The staff were good, nothing exceptional. We didn't ask for a map or any extras so I can't comment on them, or the restaurant.
The area did feel a bit dodgy. We walked up Rua da Madeira, which runs alongside and thought we were going to be mugged. Don't go down that street, but the centre is easily accessible from the left side of the square (can't remember the street name!).
Location says it all!
The March review from another Oxford visitor is pretty much spot on. I agree about the side road referred to but we always kept left of the hotel from where walks to the centre, shopping streets and old town are very pleasant. We were room only but found lots of nice cafes dotted around nearby. The key thing with this hotel is that it combines very good service with an excellent location and secure car parking at a reasonable price. The room was very clean and comfortable. My partner did try the soup from the room service menu and it was excellent and delivered promptly. BTW, if you are driving here, the hotel is quite well signposted but you need to keep your eyes wide open.
Great value and location
Really enjoyed our trip to Porto and the Mercure is certainly a good value option. The staff were incredibly helpful and despite the fact that we arrived well before midday our rooms were available immediately. The breakfast was adequate although rather unexciting but plentiful. I had thought that this was not included, but it was.
Now that the fenicular railway is open, it's really easy to get down to the river and across to the other side and the port lodges. It's included in the travel card which you buy to get you from the airport. Shuttle bus is great value and relatively quick. So, don't bother with a taxi because the shuttle will drop you at your hotel.
The only down side, and this was only slight, is that if you decide to walk down to the river, then do not turn directly right out of the hotel down the small side streets. It's definitely not the best area to be in and might make the more refined lady feel quite uncomfortable!
Otherwise, walking around is easy and everyone we met tried to help us with transport and/or directions. All in all, a great weekend.
Great Location & Value
We stayed at this hotel in late September. Booked through the Mercure hotel's website after reading about the hotel in a number of places, including tripadvisor. Got an excellent weekend rate of 60 euros per night. The hotel is centrally located, close to the main shopping street, and walking distance from the Ribeira and Port houses across the river. The staff were very helpful, and because their car park was full, one staff member even got into our car to navigate my husband around the one way streets back to another car park across the square, giving helpful tourist tips along the way. Our room and bathroom were large, clean and quiet. Good food nearby too. We would happily recommend this place to others.
Good Hotel
We enjoyed our stay at the Mercure Batahla. We took the airport bus which stops at several hotels for 4 euros and our bus pass was good for all public transportation for the day. The hotel is also a short walk to bus stop 57 & 91 which take you to the river (ribiero.) I highly recommend Minearo, a rodizio/brazilian steakhouse restaurant which was every bit as good as Fago de Chaos - dinner for two was 62 euros for an endless supply of all sorts of meats! The hotel is a short walk to El Torre and the Cathedral. (The walk to the historic sites is easy but walking back up the hill isn't quite as comfortable!) There was extensive marble throughout the hotel and the staff was very friendly. We used a Bancotel voucher and only paid 50 euros for our stay.
Just another mercure hotel
It's like beeing anywhere else in the world. Just an average normal low budget place like any other. I stayed there on a business trip and really had no choice, it was previously booked. Can't complain but have no memory of it.
Don't Be Fooled - a REAL review, from a REAL person
This is the WORST hotel I have ever stayed in. The rooms are AMAZINGLY small, and there are simply NO amenities. Yes, the bathrooms are bigger than normal, but I would gladly trade half the bathroom to increase the size of the less than 10 x 10 room.
The hotel is SO cheap, and the staff SO lazy, that instead of handing out a local map (free from the tourist office) they handed out poor quality photocopies of the free map.
The lobby is nice, but if you can't live without the lobby, then stay next door at the Quality Inn (less money, larger rooms, better views) . . . and oh, about the views, who are you kidding . . . the window is some rooms are no more than 10 inches across, and the hotel looks directly into another building. Same goes for the dinning area, which was acceptable, but who really cares when you'll be eating elsewhere anyway.
The only thing you should care about is the room and the bed, which are both awful (bed - a hard as a rock, and the pillows were small, flat and uncomfortable.
Save yourself the heartaches, stay somewhere else...anywhere else.
Excellent Hotel , Problematic Area
A typical Mercure Experience. Excellent Service, Nice Rooms, Very Professional Atmosphere , Excellent Personnel. The only thing that you may want to consider is whether or not you want to actually stay in the Batalha Area since as far as I can say from my experience , I wouldn't say that I liked it a lot. Especially at nights where you have to have your eyes open and you can not be by any means relaxed and just wonder around.
Super Views matched by good service
The hotel has some very impressive views, especially from the dining room. The staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms large and clean.
Breakfast is excellent and you must eat dinner in the hotel restaurant!
Walking in Porto is good if you like hills! Many useful buses stop outside the hotel. The main railway station is just below the hotel!
However the noise is not intrusive (unless you like lots of fresh air with the windows open!) Air conditioning. Would definitely stay again!
A pleasant surprise
We paid around 65 euros for a double room incl breakfast, in August.
Our room was large & very well appointed, rooms do differ in size & shape. The quality of food was of a high standard and wine very reasonably priced. It is well located for the upper town, but the river Douro with its bars & restaurants are only a short walk away (but up hill on the return journey!) Porto is currently installing a metro & funicular which will improve local transport. A lovely town.

OXFORD City's new era opened with a victory as a superb first-half strike from Javier Rodriguez was enough to beat hosts Hyde United on Saturday.
And City, watched by their American president Thomas Guerriero, achieved their opening-day victory with only ten men after skipper Darren Mullings had been sent off in the first half.
It became a City rearguard action after that, but inspired by a man-of-the-match performance from goalkeeper Mark Scott, they held on.
Scott was called into action early on when making an excellent block to deny Connor Hughes Hyde, relegated from the Conference Premier last season, set a strong pace, but it was City, who took the lead after 13 minutes.
They were awarded a free kick 20 yards from goal.
Rodriguez, one of three Spaniards making their league debuts for City, fired it up and over keeper Billy O'Brien's wall for a terrific goal.
From then on, City grew in stature, taking the game to their opponents.
But after 30 minutes, Mullings (pictured left) was shown the red card following a late challenge on Hyde's Aaron Chalmers.
In first-half injury time, City's Adi Yussuf grazed the bar with a dangerous cross.
Niggly fouls interrupted the flow of the game in the second half.
Hyde should have levelled when Steve Tames rounded Scott, but he shot into the side-netting Scott made an important save to keep out the dangerous Hughes as Hyde sought to equalise.
In the closing stages, O'Brien had to go full length to prevent Rodriguez a second goal, while Yussuf shot wide from eight yards.
At the other end, Hyde's Josh Brizell headed just over from a corner as City held on for a morale-boosting victory, much to the relief of general manager Justin Merritt and not least, Guerriero.
Oxford City: Scott, Benjamin, Stonehouse, Pond, (Malone 40), Lapoujade Garde, Green, Wilson, (Barcelos 50) Mullings, Yussuf, Rodriguez, del Alamo (Winters 50). Subs not used: Brown, Hernandez.

We went for lunch and were taken over to the restaurant by water taxi. Our table was on the waters edge where you can watch all of the lovely boats coming and going.
There is a good choice of things to eat, including catch of the day.
The lobster soup was delicious, the lobster risotto out of this world. All of the other dishes going past looked fantastic. Clearly most of the other patrons had been many times before.
The French owners were charming, proud of their food and just oozed enthusiasm for all they did.
Great choice of wine and puddings.

Color variations in same cultivar?
I haven't had irises long enough to really form an opinion about this yet so I'm asking the forum. I have two Supreme Sultan irises that were purchased through different sources that have bloomed different. Not REALLY different but different enough to notice at first glance. One has rather yellow standards and mahogany falls and the other has almost mustard tan/orange standards and deep mahogany falls. Could they just be that way from different sources or do I have another case of mistaken identity? I do have Circus World as well that hasn't bloomed yet?
I ,ve noticed the same thing with one of mine. I purchased one prepackaged from wal-mart and one from the local nursery. Its Supersition.One bloomed out with absolutly no other color on it,just a real solid dark purple like the pic. on the package. The other one bloomed out with a little burgandy on the start of the fall and a tiny hint of white as well. I,m thinking the second on was missmarked since the pic shows nothing other than purple.
If this is maiden bloom in your garden there's a possibility their previous year's environment influenced color? I would evaluate them again next year. The stalk's branching pattern should be identical, even tho the height may differ a bit.
Also if I have placed a division in a different spot in the garden, it can bloom a few days behind/ahead of its 'twin'. Microclimates.
I know for sure that one of them bloomed last year but can't remember if the other one did. These two are only about 6 feet apart in the same bed. I'm going to ask my neighbour if she will download my photos so I can post them. In the meantime I will have to go back to my previous receipts and see where they came from. I'm pretty sure they are both two years old.

A Deer Hunter Gets Blown
by Ben Daniels (Admin) on Nov.18, 2009, under New York Straight Men
Our Wall Street Warrior friend, Dean is lucky enough to work for one of those firms that not only survived the crash but is doing better than ever! So just like every year, he spends his November weekends with his buddies Deer hunting. Together they own an upstate cabin deep in the woods. They hunt by day and drink beer at night around a fire. Sometime they bring their girlfriends with them, and sometimes not. This past weekend, there were no girls, just the guys and the beer. Needless to say that when Dean returned home to the city, he was really horny and needed to dump his load.
He arrived to us super charged and on a hunt for some head with Sergio in his cross hairs. Sergio didn't mind being Dean's prey, if it meant he would get to suck off the hot and hairy straight guy. As Dean undressed, Sergio couldn't wait and started sucking, it was more like Sergio was on a hunt…a cock hunt! Sergio was so turned on by Dean that he couldn't keep his mouth off his dick!
During the still portion of the photo shoot we had Dean sit in a folding chair for some "publicity stills" it was supposed to be Dean alone posing for about 15 pics, but Sergio couldn't stay away and jumped in and started to blow Dean some more!
Finally at the end of the movie, Sergio got a reward for all his hard work, Dean blew his load all over Sergio's face some even going up his nose!
Click here to watch Dean's entire movie in DVD quality PLUS hundreds of other hot straight men!

Federal Job Estimates Paint Bleak Picture for Two Wisconsin Cities
If you agree that governor Walker's job numbers are the accurate ones, then you don't have to concern yourself with federal estimates regarding how poorly the state's two largest cities are doing compared to the rest of the biggest one hundred metro areas in the nation. The Walker administration released numbers this week showing Wisconsin actually gained jobs last year rather than losing over 33 thousand as was estimated previously by the feds. But those same estimates also show Madison and Milwaukee as the two of the three worst in the nation for job losses, ranking two and three behind only Augusta, Georgia. The twin cities, meanwhile, clocked in on the federal rankings as the 19th best metro area in the nation for job gains, adding nearly 20 thousand between March of last year and March of this year.
Search For Missing Boater Goes On In Winona
The search for a man who fell out of a boat at Winona is expected to continue this week...
Ralph Andring went into the Mississippi near the Winona bridge on Thursday. He wasn't able to catch a life vest thrown to him by the other man in the boat. Search crews have spent three days looking for Andring, who owned a heating and air conditioning business.
Vaccine, Isolation Recommended To Fight Whooping Cough
More than a dozen cases of whooping cough in La Crosse County just this month is a cause for concern among nurses and doctors...
Health professionals recommend a vaccine for those who are not sick, and anti-biotics for people who are infected. Bridget Pfaff , an infection specialist from Gundersen Lutheran, says people with pertussis might not know it right away, because symptoms are similar to allergies. But once you have it, you can feel effects of the illness for weeks.
Infants up to six months old can have the most severe reaction to pertussis, getting pneumonia or even dying.
Lax Will Lose Its Ash Trees, Unless You Protect Against Ash Borer
It's not too late to protect ash trees in La Crosse from the dreaded emerald ash borer...
But tree owners who do want to treat their plants with pesticide should start now. Gar Amunson, the city parks superintendent, says City Hall does not have a policy on whether to pay for chemicals, or just cut the trees down.
Amunson says if those trees in the city are not treated, they are all likely to die within five years. The ash borer was first detected in La Crosse last fall.
Tractor Flips Over On Man
A rural Kendall man is clinging to life today after being pinned by a farm tractor. It happened just before 7 last night in the Town of Wellington in Monroe County. The Sheriff says the family of a 69 year old man went looking for him after he had not retured home. They found the man pinned under a farm tractor that had flipped over. The man had to be carried out of the woods by hand by the Ontario Fire department members. He was transported to Gunderson Hospital by Med Link Air with life threatening injuries.

The place is so small considering they are near in Manila City Hall.Advice to ManagementAdvice

I have been working at Land Bank of the PhilippinesPros
You get the feel of being part of a nation building because the bank has a social mission. It is mandated to develop and finance organizations of farmers and fisherfolks in the country. It finances agri-related projects of local govt units, SMEs, individuals, and non-govt organizations. It is a partner of the rural banks and the people. I had the opportunity of working as a fieldman and directly dealing with the farmers; organizing them into cooperatives and financing their agricultural projects feom production to post harvest. The bank finances the land reform program of the government and assist the beneficiaries to make their land more productive.Cons
As a govt bank, you are a non-partisan in politics if you are an employee. You don't get often times quality items in the office for your work because every procurement is subjected to public bidding. The lowest priced item, services, and technology are what you get. Also, the organizational structure and policies are very unstable and are easily influenced by the secretary of finance' ideas of what should the bank be focusing on. Management is impulsive on the trend in the banking industry. It replicates banking style and structure of other banks when it cannot possibly be because landbank is bank with a social mission.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Maybe it should sit down and look at the reality. For as long as it is a govt bank, it can not compete with private banks without sacrificing the bank's social mandate which is now happening. Rather than follow other banks, it should lead. Itmust concentrate on improving and strengthening its policies and structure in nation building. It can notbe a copycat. Landbank should be a leader in this agricultural country.

Can I Scream?
There is something fascinating about that point where singing turns into screaming.
By Mark Richardson , April 7, 2006
There is something fascinating about that point where singing turns into screaming. Maybe it's because I myself am generally quiet. What it takes to get me worked up is something like a car coming at me at 40 mph, an incident which releases my inner James Brown faster than you can say "Mother Popcorn." But when singing, which I'm not so good at but have always enjoyed anyway, I have never found a way to make a scream sound even remotely interesting. I try and work up a howl of pain and I sound like I accidentally bit my tongue while chewing granola. I try and work up a scream of passion and I sound like I just watched the network television premiere of Love, Actually. So I keep my vocals on the d/l, doing the half-talk thing that Lou Reed invented to make guys like me feel better.
The scream has a long history. The first half the 20th century was populated by an uncountable number of blues and gospel shouters. These men and women from Ma Rainey on down put the input horn of the 78 lathe through its paces, constantly testing limits, seeing how much they had to hold back in order to keep the wax cutter from jumping out of its groove. But I'm going to talk a bit about some more recent screams. Screams from my life. Screams I heard escaping from some stereo that made me realize how music allowed me to access this other part of myself, a part usually separated by the cruel, cold facts of biology or psychology or geography or any of the other things that define us. So these 11 are my screams, my surrogates, and through them, I allow myself to express just about everything. Loudly.
Nirvana: "Negative Creep"
"Negative Creep" is what it sounds like to hate yourself, which I imagine almost everyone does from time to time. I listen to Kurt Cobain on the second full round of "I'm a negative creep, I'm a negative creep, I'm a negative creep," and with each passing line his voice comes closer to breaking, sounding for all the world like the distortion is increasing. Really it's his vocal chords, not the amplifier, that are being stressed to the point of frying. And then the kicker: "And I'm stoned." When you're already feeling bad about yourself, nothing makes the situation worse than a head full of weed. The howl after the second verse is supposed to be cathartic but there's no releasing this kind of self-loathing.
Prince: "The Beautiful Ones"
Prince has a dozen or more songs that could easily have fit on this list. But "The Beautiful Ones" stands out because of the impact it made on me when it was first released. I can remember thinking then that I hadn't ever heard someone so completely lose himself in his own song the way Prince does in the final third of this. I tried to imagine what he might have been doing in the studio when it was recorded, what sort of method he employed to work himself into such a frenzy. And it didn't seem possible, really, that with tapes rolling and someone in the booth staring at you that one could still reach this raw emotional edge. But that's what actors do, I guess, and you have to forget the movies and pay attention to records like this to realize that Prince was a wonderful actor.
PJ Harvey: "Rid of Me"
Time to acknowledge that my list is very light on female artists. The absence of Yoko Ono, for example, is appalling, but I haven't spent enough time with her records to have the deeply embedded associations I'm describing here. But this track cut deeply on first hearing and left a pretty good scar. The closing "Don't you wish you'd never met her," the way she bumps up the intensity just a bit with each repetition, all leading to the half screamed, half panted "Lick my legs/ I'm on fire/ Lick my legs/ Of desire." My instinct is to answer each of her commands with a polite "Yes, ma'am." I hear the final third of this track and understand why someone might stay with a partner that they know damn well is bad for them: Because they're terrified of what will happened if they leave.
Masonna: "Inner Mind Mystique 3"
He's prolific, like most Japanese noise artists, so I'm sure there are Masonna records out there whose intensity eclipses this. Even other tracks on Inner Mind Mystique exceed this one in terms of volume and level of distortion. But what I love about the third track is how you can actually hear Masonna in it, the processing and ungodly harsh feedback and distortion don't quite cover what's at the center: A strange guy with long hair and sunglasses screaming his head off for no apparent reason. I think it works as an expression of neither joy nor misery, but simply the stream of reality without the everyday filters that turn overwhelming stimulation into a recognizable, manageable experience. The Go-Cart of Life with the governor off, signifying that eventually someone is going to get hurt.
Ministry: "Stigmata"
"The only truth I know is the look in your eyes." Could have been a Debby Boone lyric. But Al Jourgensen had other ideas. It's hard to convey just how heavy and crazy this sounded in 1988. I want to hear something now that has the same jump in force as between this and everything else I was listening to around that time, but I can't find it. Some of it is in the way the guitars are recorded, and some of it is in the crazy booming drum machine. But most of what matters is the way Jourgensen vomits out the chorus. The distortion on his voice makes it robotic, in a weird way, drawing a line back to the Kraftwerk/Human League synthpop from whence Ministry came. But no robot was ever programmed to talk like this. Even killing machines usually had a calm, quiet diction, like HAL.
James Brown: "It's a New Day"
This particular vocalization kills me because it demonstrates so clearly how Brown ran his band. He asks them no fewer than five times if he should add a scream before he actually unleashes. When he does, it's not one of his most powerful, but the lengths he goes to clear it first with the band pumps up the anticipation massively. But that's the funny thing: He asks the band for their input, knowing full well that anyone who went against him would probably be fired. It was like Bush asking his cabinet if he should cut taxes for the wealthy; a purely symbolic gesture that made for great theater.
Suicide: "Frankie Teardrop"
Nick Hornby wrote about this song in his collection of essays Songbook, citing it as an example of a disturbing track he need never hear again. He was right about how frightening it is, but I still find it useful from time to time. I'm not sure why exactly it comes across as scary as it does. When I'm listening I don't find myself caught up in the song's storyline (damaged Vietnam veteran decides to kill his family-- a popular motif during the mid-1970s). I think it has something to do with the technical details of the thing, the way the signal breaks when Alan Vega hits his loudest point. For as often as singers have pushed the limit of volume with their shouts, it's not often that their energy caught even the record's engineer by surprise. Since the guy at the boards wasn't expecting such an explosion, I never do either.
Xiu Xiu: "I Broke Up"
In a sense, most of Jamie Stewart's output to date has been one long scream, but this one was special because it was early and particularly over the top. The first time I heard it there was a distinct "What the hell is going on?" feeling when he broke into "Don't fuck with me! Don't fuck with me!" a few seconds in. You could sense immediately a new kind of expressionism had made its way into indie rock.
Pixies: "Tame"
The great thing about Black Francis's voice was that he as a person didn't seem particularly scary, tortured, or intimidating; he just seemed like a slightly weird and geeky guy who was born with the ability to scream his head off in key, and he made damn sure his gift was put to good use. The final section of "Tame" is a particularly impressive bit of Black Wind, as he manages to make his punkest-of-screams do a fucking glissando beneath Kim Deal's chants.
Diamanda Galas: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
It seems a bit crude to reduce Galas' carefully planned virtuosity and operatic technique to a word like "scream," but this particular track from her live album La Serpenta Canta fits well enough. It's actually midway between a scream and a wheeze, as she turns a classic song about loneliness into the dying lament of a forgotten drifter. The way she sings it always brings to mind for me a cold night at the hobo encampments in the film version of Ironweed.
Slint: "Good Morning, Captain"
The scream at the end would have meant nothing had it not taken so long to get there. Brian McMahan, after all, doesn't have the most impressive pair of lungs around. But after seven minutes of mumbling and whispering, the winding trail leading to the song's resting place, his final declaration of "I miss you!" whomever it is directed toward, is overwhelming. That's turning weakness into strength.

DEFINITION of 'Heavy Industry'
Relates to a type of business that typically carries a high capital cost (capital-intensive), high barriers to entry and low transportability. The term "heavy" refers to the fact that the items produced by "heavy industry" used to be products such as iron, coal, oil, ships, etc. Today the reference also refers industries that cause disruption to the environment in the form of pollution, deforestation, etc.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Heavy Industry'
Industries that are typically considered heavy include:
1. Chemicals and plastics
2. Steel and oil refining, production
3. Mining
4. Industrial machinery
5. Mass transit (railways, airlines, shipbuilders)
Another trait of heavy industry is that it most often sells its goods to other industrial customers, rather than to the end consumer. Heavy industries tend to be a part of the supply chain of other products. As a result, their stocks will often rally at the beginning of an economic upturn and are often the first to benefit from an increase in demand.

It comes as little surprise, but Amir Khan has passed on a showdown with welterweight titlist Kell Brook, which Brook promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing hoped to stage June 13 at London's famed Wembley Stadium.
It would have been a massive fight -- and still might be if and when they ever meet. But it just won't be next, unfortunately.
After Brook (34-0, 23 KOs) smashed Jo Jo Dan in a sensational performance in a fourth-round knockout victory on Saturday to retain his belt for the first time, he and Hearn called out Khan. The timing seemed right because Brook is unencumbered by a mandatory defense, Khan has nothing officially lined up and both would make giant paydays. Alas, Khan (30-3, 19 KOs) said he going in another direction.
"My team spoke to Eddie 2 weeks ago and he knew June 13th is a no," Khan wrote on Twitter. "And they still called me out #Pathetic. This can be the biggest fight UK has ever seen and you wanna do it all in 2 months? and after beating Jo Jo?"
Khan went on to say of Brook that the fight would be even bigger if Brook beat a top-name opponent such as Juan Manuel Marquez, Marcos Maidana, Brandon Rios "or even" Devon Alexander, the former titleholder whom Khan shut out in a masterful performance in December.
"They [are] doing a very good job making the public believe I don't want the fight," Khan said. "Trust me I do! Keep building the hype cause winner takes all! I'm done, already given my word to a fighter, will be announcing my next fight very soon."
There is rampant speculation that Khan's return will come against former junior welterweight titlist Chris Algieri on May 30.
Brook won't wait on Khan. He came out of the Dan fight healthy and is anxious to fight again quickly.
"I said before the fight that I have kept the fans waiting too long -- I don't want that to happen again," said Brook, who won the title in August but was sidelined until last weekend after suffering a serious stab wound in his left leg. "The buzz from the fans when I was walking out was amazing, and the roar each time I knocked him down made me feel like a giant.
"I have told Eddie Hearn to get me out as soon as possible and I want to fight twice before the end of the summer, starting at the end of May."
Hearn told ESPN.com on Wednesday that Brook may be added to a May 30 card he is promoting in London. It is headlined by lightweight titlist Jorge Linares against mandatory challenger Kevin Mitchell with featherweight titlist Evgeny Gradovich defending against Lee Selby and top heavyweight prospect Anthony Joshua, the 2012 British Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist, facing Kevin Johnson.
HBO and Showtime are both interested in buying American rights to that show and Brook's possible addition would make even more of a quality card.
"The plan now is to build on the momentum of Saturday," Hearn said of his plans for Brook. "It was a wonderful night -- a packed-out arena, and our broadcast partners [Showtime in the United States and Sky Sports in the U.K.] loved it. Originally, we were planning Kell's next fight for July, but he is itching to fight again and we could bring him back as early as May. It's been a frustrating period for him, but there is no stopping Kell now and we want to get him back in action as soon as possible."
Khan passes on Brook, who is moving on
