Cam's Weather Vlog for 06/26/13June 26th, 2013 at 12:35 pm by cameronhopman under Chad's WLFI Weather Blog
WLFI Video Blog Entry June 26, 2013
Forecast Discussion:
Folks, we're in for another active day ahead. A weak low pressure system will track through the heart of our viewing area beginning this afternoon. It will usher in scattered showers and thunderstorms; due to the warm temperatures and high moisture content of the air some of these storms may be severe in nature. The entire viewing area, as well as the entire state of Indiana, is under a Slight Risk for Severe Weather. The main threats throughout the afternoon and evening will be hail larger than an inch in diameter and strong straight line winds in excess of 60 mph. While our last two severe weather events have been well formed lines of storms, this event will be an unorganized rotation of pop up storms. The strongest storms may develop as early as 3:00 PM ET and last past 10:00 PM ET.

By Joel firstname.lastname@example.com The City of Jonesboro will hold a special meeting today at 10 a.m., to discuss, and possibly amend, the city's ordinance regarding livestock. The action comes amidst public discussion about the severity of the ordinance, particularly as it relates to the ownership of chickens. During a regular business meeting on Sept. 14, city officials were confronted by citizens who came to the defense of Willis Swint, owner of Swint's Feed and Garden Supply, and a long-time resident of Jonesboro. On Sept. 10, Jonesboro code enforcement officials told Swint, 80, that he had 15 days to remove 20 chickens kept in a hen house on his property on North McDonough Road in Jonesboro. "Tomorrow is the deadline," Swint said on Thursday. "I'll either have to get rid of them by then, or they will give me a citation to go to court." According to Swint, the Swint family has operated Swint's Feed and Garden Supply for 76 years. He said the family property has housed hundreds of chickens since the early 1930s. "We've had chickens at that place, on and off, since 1933," he said. "At one time, we hit 200 [chickens], but now we have 20." All of the chickens have names, such as "Aunt Bee," "Miss Crump," "Tina Turner," "Minnie Pearl," and "Ellie Mae," he said. "We have 4.29 acres and the chickens are right in the middle of it," Swint added. "The only way you can see it is if you go on the property." On Sept. 14, Jonesboro Mayor Luther Maddox told citizens concerned about chicken ownership that the "city can't pick and choose" the ordinances it enforces. The Jonesboro city code defines "livestock" as "poultry, cattle, swine, horses, mink, rabbits, sheep, goats or similar classes of animals excluding domestic animal kept as pets." Chapter 14 of the ordinance, referring to animal control, contains measures for how the city deals with "dangerous dogs," but does not specify how the city deals with citizens who keep livestock as pets. On Thursday, city officials were mum about what sections of the city's ordinance regarding livestock could potentially be changed. "I don't know what they are going to change," said Jonesboro Mayor Luther Maddox. "You'll just have to come to the city council meeting tomorrow."

Camera Reviews
It's time for a new digital camera, yes? Yes!
Below is a list of cameras I recommend that should work for any skill level or budget. In addition, I have a more complete list of Camera Lens Reviews that covers all the lens I use for my photography.
Good Camera: Sony a5000
Priced at under $500, this Sony mirrorless camera is highly recommended if your budget is keeping you at below the $500 level.
- Check price of the Sony a5000 on Amazon
- Check price of the Sony a5000 on B&H Photo
If budget is not a concern, I suggest you jump down to the "Better" or "Best" recommendations. However, if budget is your principle concern, then no worries this Sony is the way to go! One great thing about it is that all the lenses that you get for this camera can also be used when if you decide down the road to upgrade to the Sony a7R below.
Better Camera: Sony a6000
Starting at below $800 which includes an 16-50mm lens.
- Check price of the Sony a6000 on Amazon
- Check price of the Sony a6000 on B&H Photo
Read my complete Sony a6000 review, it is the replacement for the Sony NEX-7 which I loved. The a6000 has a number of advantages over the lower-priced a5000. It has a built-in electronic viewfinder, 2x higher screen resolution, 7x the number of focal points, 24MP compared to 19MP, and more than 3x faster continuous shooting (11 fps vs 3.5 fps).
Best Camera: Sony a7R
Starting at just over $2000
- Check price of the Sony a7R on Amazon
- Check price of the Sony a7R on B&H Photo
A full-on Sony a7R Review is here on the site that is full of a ton of sample photos. This is currently my main camera. I absolutely love it. It has all the power of the giant DSLR systems at a fraction of the price and size. It's Full-Frame goodness combined with a small mirrorless form factor gives you everything you need. Plus, the camera smarts inside are absolutely insane. Check on the review there to see even more!
Camera Lenses
Sony a7R – First Three Lenses
Note these work for all the Sony A7 cameras!
- Sony FE 24-70mm f/4 (Amazon | B&H Photo) – A great mid-range lens the covers wide to mid-range zooming. See more on the Sony 24-70mm review.
- Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 (Amazon | B&H Photo) – I'm so impressed with this lens! I feel like I get just as good of results with this lens as I did with my Nikon 70-200 f/2.8. See more on the Sony 70-200mm review.
- Sony FE 16-35 f/4 (Amazon | B&H Photo) – I'm so excited about this lens! This is the first full-frame wide angle lens that fits the eMount on the Sony a7 line of cameras.
Sony a7R – Other Goodies!
- Sony Alpha Adaptor (Amazon | B&H Photo) – So that you can attach the other Sony full-frame Alpha lenses to your Sony a7R
- Novoflex Leica Adaptor (Amazon | B&H Photo) – Fantastic for attaching any lens that uses the Leica lens mount. Check out my Leica Lens Buying Guide for more info.
- Nikon F Lens Adaptor (Amazon | B&H Photo) – To hook up your Nikon DSLR lenses
- Canon EF Adaptor (Amazon | B&H Photo) – To hook up your Canon DSLR lenses
Sony A5000 / A6000 Camera – Two Great Lenses
If you are just getting started and want recommendations on your first couple of lenses, here they are. Often times a camera will come with a "kit lens" that is pretty versatile and can get you a long way. The Sony a6000 comes with a 16-50mm lens that produces great pictures. But there are many lenses that are better for more specialized situations.
- Sony 55-210mm (Amazon | B&H Photo) – This lens is a little big but its versatility is perfect for mid-range stuff like landscapes, birthdays, sports, etc.
- Sony 10-18 F/4 (Amazon | B&H Photo) – A great lens that gives you maximum wide-angle flexibility for landscapes and architecture. To find out more, read my full Sony 10-18mm Lens Review.
Leica Lens Buying Guide
I'm really getting into using Leica lenses with the Sony a7R. You have to manually focus but you still get focus peeking and all of the other sweet features of the Sony mirrorless system. I've created a Leica Lens Buying Guide where I'll chronicle what I learn and recommend.
More Lens Reviews
I only write reviews for lenses that I use and recommend. Here is a complete list of camera lens reviews.
DJI Phantom Vision and Inspire 1 Quadcopters
I recently got a quadcopter and I LOVE it! You can get amazing photos and videos from previously unattainable perspectives. I started with the DJI Phantom 2 with and Gopro (read my Phantom Vision review).
I recently upgraded to the new DJI Inspire 1 with Dual Controllers. It is beyond awesome! Visit my complete Inspire 1 review with photos.
What's in my photo bag?
Tripod and Head
My best advice for tripods is to visit your local camera store and try them out! Find one that you find easy to use… I've tried many, and my recommendations are below. A tripod is composed of two parts – the Legs and the Head. The head simply attaches to the legs, and these have universal connections.
What I carry
- RRS Tripod (link)- And here is the tripod.
- RRS Head (Small) (link) – This is the Really Right Stuff tripod head I use. It doesn't have to be too big because the camera is small.
- RRS Head (Big) (link) – This is the ballhead I used with my much bigger DSLR systems. It's highly recommended if you use hefty DSLRs!
- L-Plates for your camera (link) – These allow your camera to attach to the tripod head. These "L" plates are of the variety that enables you to easily adjust it from landscape to portrait orientation.
Entry Level Tripod and Head
- Manfrotto 190XB 3 Section Aluminum Tripod – An excellent set of legs for most small to medium-sized cameras such as the Sony mentioned above. It supports 11 pounds, so you have room to grow.
- Giottos MH-1000 Large Ball Head w/ Built-in Quick Release – A simple and easy to use quick-release head that you will enjoy.
More Reviews and recommendations
I have many other reviews and recommendations you may find helpful!
- Photo Editing Software Reviews – reviews of five must-have software packages along with many others
- Other Reviews – various other software and hardware reviews

Dolphin midfielder Abduljaleel Ajagun has been named captain of Nigeria U20 team, the Flying Eagles.
Flying Eagles Media Officer, Samm Audu said he was formally announced as team skipper by Head Coach, John Abuh at the team's training camp in El Mouradi Gammarth, Tunisia.
Ajagun has been leading the team in recent warm-up games in the absence of goalkeeper Samuel Okani from the first team.
The creative midfielder first rose to national prominence when he shone as the Golden Eaglets under coach John Sam Obuh reached the final of the 2009 FIFA U17 World Cup, which Nigeria hosted.
He was part of the victorious Flying Eagles team to the 2011 African Youth Championship in South Africa.
He scored three goals in the qualifying series for the 2013 AYC as Nigeria eliminated Tanzania and South Africa.
He will be assisted by Okani, Chidi Osuchukwu and Chizoba Amaefule.
According to Audu, Ajagun was very excited with the development and vowed to lead the team to glory.
'"I hope to lead the team to greater glory with the support of everyone in the team."'

The Bureau of Customs and Excise will on Monday launch ASYCUDA Liberia software pilot project initiated by the Department of Revenues at the Finance Ministry.
According to the Ministry, the launching ceremony of ASYCUDA Software System is intended to fully automate customs processes and to improve its service delivery to the public, will take place at the one-stop-shop at the Freeport Customs collection in Monrovia.
However, Ministry of Finance is saying that the system is also intended to reduce customs clearance processes to facilitate trade and commence particularly importation and exportation of goods. They further indicated that the ASYCUDA system will use risk management principles to conduct customs examination and it will apply new business rules to manage declaration processing so as to minimize fraud and abuse in government revenue collection.
The ASYCUDA Liberia, according to the Ministry, has demarcated the country into four regions for easy tax administration and for the payment of customs duty. The Ministry is saying that the four regions include the Northwest Ganta customs Collectorate, Southwest Bo- Waterside Collectorate, Northwest Voinjamin Collectorate as well as the Southeast Buchanan Collectorate.

Friday classes called off for school district
Supt. Paul Dorathy called off Friday's classes Thursday evening, because of the wintery conditions in the area.
After Dorathy canceled Thursday's schools, the predicted snow hit the area, which made the roadways worse. Baldwin, along with most area schools, will not be having classes Friday.
"The roads weren't very good to begin with, then the snow hit today," Dorathy said. "It's too hazardous for the buses and kids to be driving around out there."
City and county crews continue to treat the icy roads with sand.
The Signal's will update this story on-line as more information becomes available.

MORGANTOWN — You might have seen his car. It's the one with the license plate that reads:
And you might be wondering why Rick Harshbarger would qualify for such a plate.
We're here to tell you why. He has attended 368 consecutive West Virginia home basketball games, a streak that goes back to Jan. 19, 1988.
And his football streak is longer, going back to 1985, but he says "that's easy" because there's only six or seven home football games and the weather is good when he's driving over from his home on the Maryland side of the Eastern border of West Virginia.
Basketball is another story, though. You're driving through the mountains of Western Maryland and Preston County when the snow is as high as an elephant's eye or something like that.
"Tony Caridi asked me the other day if the weather was the biggest obstacle," he said on Thursday after a Morgantown doctor checked out a disc problem he is having with his back. "For most people it would be, but I'm one of those weird people who doesn't mind driving in the winter … and I've seen some pretty rough weather coming to games.
"I've probably been on I-68 half a dozen times when it was closed," he continued. "I'd get to the entrance ramp and they had the horses up there saying the road was closed, so I just went around them. I always had a good four-wheel drive vehicle. Most of the problems I've had haven't been with getting stuck or wrecking, but with the snow being so deep that the headlights weren't bright enough and I couldn't see well."
Neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night …
"The streak is 25 years, but if I hadn't missed that game 25 years ago the streak would probably go back 33 years," he said.
And so you have to ask why he missed that one game 25 years ago.
"I was moving into my new house and had friends and family there," he said. "It was Jan. 19, 1988. We were playing UMass. I had every intention of leaving at 5 o'clock and coming to the game but you know how things are when you are moving into your new house. I had friends and family there, carrying boxes, unloading things."
Other than that, there really hasn't been much of anything to keep Rick Harshbarger from a Mountaineer basketball game.
There was the time in 1999 when he was in Mon General scheduled for foot surgery the next day. That was Gale Catlett's last year, the Mountaineers were scheduled to play Providence, and Harshbarger wasn't quite ready to miss this game even if it was the season when the team went 8-20.
"What I did was write a note to the nurses saying 'I'll be back in 2 and a half hours, don't worry about me, I'm going to the basketball game,'" he recalled. "Then I snuck out, I put my clothes over my gown, went to my car, went to the game, came back and got into bed."
There were other close calls.
"I remember one year I had the flu. I was sick, throwing up out the window on the way over. First thing I did when I got to the game was buy a big tub of popcorn, pour the popcorn in the trash can and threw up in the box," he said, laughing at the memory.
Then just this year there was a really tough situation.
"I went to Pinstripe Bowl. I'm in New York and it is 8 o'clock at night and we're tipping off against Eastern Kentucky the next day. I got up at 6 in the morning in New York City and drove 8 and a half hours back to the basketball game," he said.
Harshbarger's love affair with West Virginia sports started almost half a century ago.
He recalls his sister Caroline, back when he was 3 or 4 years old, trying to listen to Rod Thorn on their battery operated transistor radio.
"She had me climbing all over the house, holding it in different positions trying to pick up WWVA out of Wheeling," he said.
They were in a little West Virginia town called Piedmont, one that would be a Class A powerhouse that would be the state championship basketball team he played on in 1974.
He got his love of sports from his father, Harry, who was in Patton's 3rd Army and won two Bronze Stars at the Battle of the Bulge.
"My dad started me dribbling. My dad was an all-area player in the '30s. He actually got scholarship offers but World War II took care of that," Harshbarger said. "I'm similar to Huggins in that my dad was a basketball guy and I grew up playing basketball from the time I was old enough to walk. We are educated fans."
His dad began bringing him to games in the old Fieldhouse and the Coliseum. His first game was against William & Mary.
"I was probably only 5 years old and I remember I hated the other team's uniforms because they were green and yellow," he said.
They would drive to the home games and when the team was on the road his dad would get up on a Maryland mountain top, pull off on the shoulder and try to position the car so it picked up Jack Fleming on the radio.
Today he is CEO of the Potomac Center in Romney, an independent, not-for-profit, private organization founded in 1980 that provides residential assistance and support to both children and adults with developmental disabilities as they learn the skills needed to live successful lives.
As for the streak, he does it not because of the numbers but because he loves his WVU sports. A love he has passed on to his daughter, Candice, a doctor of physical therapy in Keyser, and his son, Bret, a park ranger at Pinnacle Rock in Bluefield, who went 18 years himself without missing a game.

About our hotel...
Quite A Storied History!
One of the oldest hotels on the island still in operation— the Hotel Coral Reef was built in 1956 on the site of the old Kapaa firehouse, and it has remained in operation ever since. The hotel was originally built by owner/contractor Mr. Matsumura. The Matsumura family ran the hotel for many years before it was sold. Originally the hotel had only 10 rooms, until the ocean view annex was added in 1966. In 2004 the Hotel was purchased by its current owners. Today, the hotel has been completely remodeled and upgraded with all the comforts and facilities of a high-class resort. Plans are currently in the works to build an additional structure on the north end of the property to further expand the offering of luxury suites.
...the quaint and eclectic Kapaa
Historically, Kapaa was once a part of what was called 'Crown Land' controlled by the ruling monarchs of the Kingdom of Hawai'i. Kapaa began its existence before all that, sometime after the migration of ancient hawaiians into the eastern parts of the island along the Wailua River and then northward into the swampy lands where it was particularly suitable for taro farming. Additionally, the ocean and reefs on this side of the island were very productive sources of food. This side of the island is where the birthing stone is and the ritual heiaus of Wailua. And here the artful King Kaumualii (of Kauai) held ceremonial court, plucked a lot of bird feathers for his traditional capes, and governed the old ahupua'a systems of Kauai. Later, in 1878, King Kalakaua (of the Kingdom of Hawaii) set up a sugar mill in Kapaa, which began the rise of industry and commerce here on this part of the island. Industry and commerce completely replaced the old ahupua'a systems over a hundred years ago. Back in the day, Kapaa was kind of like the wild west... way far west! And then, in turn, the agricultural industries once built on taro, rice, sugar cane, bananas, and pineapple were also replaced by modern venture capitalism— largely, real estate development and tourism. The wild west days of Kapaa have all but faded into the past. Still, we are left with some valuable reminiscences.
The Hotel Coral Reef is located on Kauai's spectacular Royal Coconut Coast which stretches from south of Wailua to the northern most reaches of Kapaa. The area is known for (among other things) its stands of coconut trees, and the community celebrates all things coconut each October in Kapaa Beach Park with the annual 'Coconut Festival'.
The Kapaa Beach Park is located next to the Kapaa Public Library just on the other side of the Moikeha Canal south from the Hotel Coral Reef. The Beach Park also hosts many other festivals, shows, and gatherings each year. During World War II, Bob Hope and the U.S.O entertained the troops at the Beach Park. Some 40,000 troops were here in Kauai during WWII. At that time, the Kapaa Beach Park was a bustling tent camp for many of these troops. And at the same time, this area of Kapaa town was heavily involved with sugar cane production and pineapple canning operations. You can still see the remnants of an old railway bridge near the Hotel Coral Reef, which was used to transport the sugar cane.
Ever since those earlier U.S.O. shows at the Kapaa Beach Park, the entertainment industry never forgot Kauai. In 1956 the film crew for the movie 'South Pacific' stayed right here at the Hotel Coral Reef. Many more film crews have since stayed in and around Kapaa and filmed in many areas of Kauai.
The Hotel Coral Reef is situated in one of the most captivating tourist areas— quaint and eclectic Kapaa town— with it's wonderful little shops, restaurants, live entertainment, farmers markets, small boat harbor, adventure tours, and local conveniences. Today, Kapaa is a thriving little town and a great jumping off point for any adventure in Kauai.
Some testimonials...
"Everything was excellent. From the first phone call to checking out, the service and accommodations exceeded our expectations: warm and generous staff; clean and comfortable rooms; lovely pool; beachfront view; and boardwalk activities. The best coffee shop in town is right across the street, and a most-recommended restaurant is next door. We will definitely come back to the Hotel Coral Reef!" —Nancy, Keith, Max, and Emma, Austin, Texas
"Very comfortable rooms without that same old 'hotel' feel. Very unique, great views, and many things to do nearby. We would not hesitate to come back again. The windows are large and give you the option of waking up and hearing the ocean waves against the beach. You will not be sorry if you stay here!" —Shawn & Lyndsi, Grand Junction, Colorado

Who Really Created Batman? A DC Comics Historian Weighs In On The Controversy
As the Batman 75th anniversary ramp-up to San Diego Comic-Con further fuels the controversy over who created the Caped Crusader, DC Comics' historian offers more insight.
It seemed innocuous enough. DC Entertainment declared July 23 Batman Day, with retailers and libraries giving away a special edition reprint of the first Batman story, as it appeared in Detective Comics #27 in 1939, illustrated by creator Bob Kane, and written by Bill Finger.
That is, until the comic press noted the latter's name on the cover, interpreting it as DCE's final concession that Finger was co-creator of the famed character and franchise.
"What makes this issue really significant, is that, to my knowledge, it's the first time Batman's co-creator Bill Finger has received a cover credit for the original Batman story," writes Comics Alliance's Chris Sims. "Of course, Finger's name is still underneath Kane's, but, well, baby steps."
As the celebration of Batman's 75th anniversary builds toward San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), which runs July 24-27, so too does a long-simmering controversy over whether Finger—who wrote many early Batman comics, and contributed to the superhero's costume, origin story, and characters before passing away in 1974—should be granted co-creator status alongside Kane, who died in 1998. Kane is slated for an upcoming star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for creating a character that has spawned the most successful box office superhero franchise, pulling in more than $3.7 billion worldwide.
"I give Bill Finger major credit for the success of Batman; almost all the good ideas were his," says SDCC special guest Jim Steranko, a comics illustrator and historian who infamously slapped Kane at one Comic-Con. "According to Bill, it was he who created the Joker, inspired by the imagery he spotted on a Coney Island ride. He was the real talent behind Batman."
Meanwhile, Sims's article capped months of online angst: an unsuccessful campaign for a Google doodle celebrating Finger's birthday, a Kickstarter effort for a Finger documentary, Google's scrapping of a planned Batman 75th Anniversary doodle due to the controversy, fan questions about Finger's credit at WonderCon, and subsequent legal rumblings by Finger's granddaughter, Athena Finger, another SDCC special guest.
Finger would not comment for this story beyond her May 5 statement made through the Comic Arts Council: "My grandfather has never been properly credited as the co-creator of Batman although it was an open secret in the comic book industry and is widely known now. It is now my time to come out of the shadows and speak up and end 75 years of exploitation of my grandfather. I am currently exploring our rights and considering how best to establish the recognition that my grandfather deserves."
DC Entertainment Responds
DCE maintains Kane is the sole creator of Batman. It also asserts that Finger made massive contributions to the DC Comics mythology—not just with Batman, but a host of other characters. "We love what Bill Finger has contributed to the mythology, and we've always acknowledged and compensated him and his estate for that work," DC Entertainment co-publisher and artist Jim Lee told Comic Book Resources last month.
But there's a distinction between contribution and creation. "There's been a very cumulative building of the Batman lore," says Steve Korté, DCE's librarian and historian. "It's based on what Bob Kane did at the beginning and a lot of talent has come along and helped shape the character."
Meanwhile, Finger's listing on the cover of the Detective #27 reprint—alongside the other issue contributors—is in keeping with today's crediting practice. "Typically, cover credits for writers and artists didn't show up in comics until the late '70s," says Korté. "The reason Bob Kane's name has been on the cover of Detective Comics #27 since the beginning is because he drew it in." (This month, DC instituted royalties and cover credits to colorists as well.)
Korté, a 20-year DC Comics veteran, explains the sequence of events that lead to the creation and development of Batman. "After Superman debuted in 1938 and became an instant hit, DC editor Vince Sullivan asked Bob Kane to come up with a superhero, which he did with Batman," he adds. "During that process, he went to a friend, Bill Finger, who gave him some tips on costume adjustments. For example, Bob initially drew bat wings on Batman. Bill suggested a scalloped cape. After Batman became a hit in May, 1939, Bob brought in more people throughout the year."
Over time, delineating specific contributions has become increasingly difficult. "Bill was an amazing writer, who wrote for Batman for more than 30 years and came up with a lot of great stories," says Korté. "But so did others. Gardner Fox wrote a lot of the stories that inspired the TV series in 1966. Christopher Nolan credits Batman editor [and SDCC special guest] Denny O'Neil and writer Alan Moore with influencing him in Batman Begins. Kane, Finger, and Kane's art assistant, Jerry Robinson, all claimed to have collectively come up with the Joker and Robin.
"And both Finger and Fox laid claim to origin story, which appeared in Detective Comics #33 in November, 1939," he adds. "We credit Gardner Fox, but I do know that some folks have given credit to Bill Finger over the years, so I guess it's one of those stories where no one knows for sure."
See the gallery above for a sneak peak at the Batman Day special edition and Batman timeline.
Those attending SDCC can check out the following Batman 75th Anniversary sessions: Batman 75: Legends of the Dark Night, Batman '66, and Batman 75th Anniversary. Athena Finger appears on the Spotlight on Bill Finger and Who Created Batman? panels.
Correction: An earlier version of this article featured a photo of Gardner Fox, instead of Bill Finger. A correction has been made.

Can anyone tell me what comic the first image is from? Forgive the ignorance, but it looks fascinating.
Just saw this. Did you mean the first slide? That's a close-up of slide#3, Detective Comics #27, which featured the Case of the Chemical Syndicate (the first story featuring Batman). If you meant the first image within the story, that's from the present-day retelling of Chemical Syndicate, by writer Brad Meltzer and artist Bryan Hitch, that appeared in a special publication given out during Batman Day.
Thanks for an interesting discussion, everyone. I've alerted Steve Korte to your new comments and invited him to join in.
(see previous post for start)
#4 Grand Comics Database, http://www.comics.org/issue/560/ (heavily researched by longtime comics scholars): "Contains a 2 page origin sequence, the 'original' origin. Written by Bill Finger (credit from Craig Delich and Martin O'Hearn, October, 2005)."
#5 MEN OF TOMORROW, page 350: attributes origin to Bill
#6 http://www.supermanartists.comics.org/dchistory/DCHISTORY-1.htm: "November 1939, Bill Finger writes a two page origin of Batman which is pasted on to the beginning of Gardner Fox's story in Detective 33."
#7 BATMAN CHRONICLES, VOLUME 1 does indeed credit Gardner Fox for "Dirigible" but does NOT credit Fox or anyone else with writing the two-page origin preceding it; as you said, the second telling of the origin from Batman #1 is indeed credited to Finger; HOWEVER, since the second telling is virtually IDENTICAL to the first, DC surely would've credited Fox AND Finger if Fox wrote the first version; in any case, speculation is moot given #s 1-3.
At least six sources, including two DC publications and Bob's autobiography, credit Bill with the origin in Detective #33:
#1: BATMAN: THE COMPLETE HISTORY (authorized DC book), page 33: "…when Bill Finger returned in Detective #33 (November 1939) it was with the most famous Batman tale of all time, the origin story"
#2 DC COMICS: A CELEBRATION OF THE WORLD'S FAVORITE COMIC BOOK HEROES (authorized DC book), page 34: credits origin jointly to Bob and Bill
#3 BATMAN AND ME (Bob Kane's autobiography), page 104: "Bill and I collaborated on the origin"; we know that Bob took credit for as much as he could, so when he DID credit anyone else for anything, it is especially worth paying attention to
(see next post for rest)
That picture of Keaton & Kane is actually on the set of 'Batman Returns'.
Hey Pat, made the change. Thanks for the catch!
If DC, as caretaker of Batman and mythos, who now has world-wide legendary status, does not at this point due to such historical significance PROPERLY and fully honor the man who it is well-known did this creation work of Batman, the history books will harshly judge them, as will Batman fans and probably millions of others very soon, as I am sure this story will become known to the masses, its just a matter of time. Honestly from what I've heard, I don't think Batman fans are willing to tolerate less than full respect any longer, DC would proceed in that direction now at their own risk of generating protests and mass condemnation. From someone watching this unfold very closely.
Wow!! I am SOOO disappointed to read these words from Steve Korté, I thought DC was in a more truthful and honorable place than this at this point, if he is speaking for them.
For him to word it as : "It's based on what Bob Kane did at the beginning and a lot of talent has come along and helped shape the character." - lumping Bill in with all those who came after , that is simply wrong re: his status as creator, and misleading. Bill WAS there at the very, very beginning. All Bob Kane had was a sketch which was totally different from what Batman became, and a vision for him as a superhero and powers that he would have which was also totally discarded. Bill Finger came up with almost everything iconic about Batman - Batman's look, his superpowers or lack thereof, how he fought (detective, gadgets), the batcave, the batmobile, Robin, Commisioner Gordon, most of the villians, GOTHAM, etc etc. This shows how misleading and wrong the words you used are.
Actually, DC Comics has credited Bill Finger for Batman's origin (see BATMAN CHRONICLES VOL. 1).
That photo is Gardner Fox, not Bill. I've posted numerous photos of Bill: http://noblemania.blogspot.com/2014/02/new-previously-unpublished-bill-finger.html.
Batman is NOT "based on what Bob Kane did at the beginning." What he did was sketch a character that Bill completely overhauled; there was no backstory attached when Bob then showed the revamped character design to Vin.
DC just produced a poster of Batman milestones for comic shops. Bill was the main creative force behind THE FIRST NINE. And Bill had a hand (or was the hand) in twelve of the first fourteen:
Thank you for doing an article to spread word of Bill Finger's substantial contribution to Batman.
- Marc Tyler Nobleman, author of BILL THE BOY WONDER (first-ever biography of Bill Finger)
We've added the correct picture of Bill Finger. Thanks for the catch! Also, here's a response from Steve Korte:
"The first time Batman's origin story appeared was in DETECTIVE COMICS #33 in 1939 in a story called "The Batman Wars Against the Dirigible of Doom." In THE BATMAN CHRONICLES VOL. 1, DC Comics credits Gardner Fox for writing that story. A later, revised version of that origin story appeared in BATMAN #1 in 1940, and that story was written by Bill Finger."

A Year in Showcases (Final Part 4)
by April Arrglington on April 2nd, 2012
This post is way overdue, but I've finally been able to finish the compilation to the best of my abilities. Thanks for your patience and support.
Azrael's Stop is an experimental narrative project of serial fiction and transmedia storytelling. This story of a mystical bar where people are led when they're ready to die is told through serialized pieces of microfiction. The project is produced by Lucas Johnson and Silverstring Media.
AUTHENTIC IN ALL CAPS is an audio drama about an Underworld gambling philosopher desperately trying to earn a living in the Overworld as an autopsy pathologist who takes on a bet to find the meaning of death. The replayable experience takes you across the web, interacting with fictional websites while you hear the character's stories behind them. The project is produced by a team lead by Christy Dena out of Australia.
Zoetrap: Is an immersive storytelling experience that debuted during #SWC11. In it you are recruited as a Paranormal Investigator and given access to a mobile phone that it's haunted. The experience is deciphered through private emails, voicemails, QR codes, video and audio. The producers created an app for the experience, which also featured live events through its run. The project is headed by Hannah Wood and Spirit Level Productions out of the UK.
Jurassic Park Slope: Transmedia parody about a hipster party being ruined by a Velociraptor attack. The experience consisted of walking tours of Brooklyn smart phone applications, traditional short film narrative, public art, music/dance live event experiences, and DIY how-to's. The project is prodeced by Caitlin Burns and Steele Filipek.
The Veil Nanoscience ARG: This ARG revolved around nano technology and a memory insertion chip. The experience ran at the end of last year out of New Jersey. The story is told through in-game websites, blogs, e-mails, dead drops, puzzles, and character interactions. The project was developed by Ryan & Steve Omark from Immersive Fiction, with further writing by Carrie Cutforth-Young.
The Davis Sculpture Walk: A transmedia experience curated as part of the John Natsoulas Gallery in Davis, CA. In this interactive and replayable expedition participants are encouraged to share art in an outdoors environment where interactive surfaces serve as a blank canvas where artists, participants, and visitors can leave messages and stories.
The Game of Sunken Places: An interactive storytelling experience tied to the book series by M.T. Anderson. Further discover the storyworld by unearthing online assets like: videos, photographs, newspaper cuttings, telegraphs, letters and printed ads. Among other Scholastic titles embracing Transmedia this last year (that I've also mentioned at some point in this blog) we can include: 39 Clues by Various Authors, Malice by Chris Wooding, Trackers and Skeleton Creek by Patrick Carman.
Ain't That Life: Is based on a web series about Harold Bregman, a hapless yet ever-optimistic man who struggles to find success in his career and love life, but invariably stumbles into trouble and even danger. The property utilized a handful of platforms further the story, including a small ARG. The series won Best Web Series Award at the Best Shorts Competition.

Chairman, Senate Committee on Mines and Steel development, Senator Phillip Aduda, Tuesday expressed the committee's displeasure over the N17 billion budgetary allocations in the last three years to the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development which has remained domiciled in the Ministry of Power.
Querying the non-utilisation of the allocation by the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development which is being held by the Ministry of Power, Aduda said the non-utilisation of the allocation had contributed to the underdevelopment and growth of the Steel sector.
Aduba, who made the disclosure during the budget defence by the Minister of Steel and Mines Development, Mr. Muhammed Sada, said the Minister of Power would be summoned to account for the money which had been wrongly been underutilised in the last three years.
"We are worried that are importing various iron rods we are importing instead of importing we need to begin to put the steel industry right that will boost our economy and increase our Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to the economy," Aduda said.
Also speaking, Senator Mohammed Goje, said the wrong done to the Mines and Steel Ministry should be corrected immediately if the country was to grow its steel sector.
Posing a question to the Minister, he said: "I don't know how far you have gone on the issue of the feasibility studies on the coal project. I remember last year that there was a proposal on the coal project, on how to generate power from coal and some states were selected how far have you gone with the programme?
"I don't any reason why the Ministry of Mines and Steel should not control the money allocated to coal development, which will be used in the power to plants. What it therefore means is that money is allocated to the wrong ministry for usage and this must not be allowed to continue. Because by next year the money will reduce to N1 billion and eventually there will be nothing for coal development. Since this committee is in charge of both ministries we must intervene to use this fund for the right development of the country."
Earlier, the Minister of Mines and Steel, Mr. Musa Mohammed, had said the ministry was having a running battle with the Power Ministry over the yearly budgetary allocation, which had hit N17 billion in the last three years.
He said: "The issue of coal is one area that we have been having running battle with the Power Ministry. For the last three years funds for coal studies have been domiciled in the Ministry of Power. We have had to make complains that the 10 billion allocated was not utilised and before the year ran out in 2010 they could not use a kobo of it.
"The issue of coal is one area that we have serious problem. "We have to write the Ministry of finance to bring this to their notice and even made a presentation to the Economic Management Team pointing out that coal is a fuel for power generation just like gas like in the Ministry of Petroleum is responsible for making gas available to the ministry of Power for power generation."
He added erroneously fund for coal studies are domiciled in the Ministry of Power.
"The first year an allocation of N10 billion was made to the Ministry, not a 10 kobo of that money was utilised, the second year N4billion was allocated they were only able to utilise N400 million to some consultancy that did not add value to the Ministry of Mines Iron and Steel and last year about N3 billion was allocated to it and at the level that we are.
"Despite the setting up of the coal to power project that we are working on the funds are still not made accessible to us and unfortunately it is a situation where the experts are following the people with the money.The problem in the Power Ministry, according to him, is so huge that coal development is given a secondary position and to us that is a major source of funding.
"Currently this year we don't have a single kobo for coal studies but the Ministry of Power keeps this money for coal studies," he said.

The Sundresses with The Slippery Lips
Imagine what American rock and roll would sound like if the British Invasion never happened. Or, imagine what a punk rock band would sound like if it were 1933. That's The Sundresses. They've taken Rock & Roll to the next level. That level is best described as: FUCK YES.

I downloaded the files for the upgrade and there are some that were
downloaded as udf files inside a zip file. Can these be loaded as a zip

did a "test" and it did add the .zip to the virtual optical but I'd hate
to run into issues once I get started.

As of Thursday, August 25, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Mill Creek is regarded as having one of the best track and field facilities in the state.
The Hoschton high school gets to put those amenities on display this week for the Region 3 USA Track and Field Junior Olympics.
More than 3,500 athletes from Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Maryland will compete in the four-day event that is expected to draw more than 10,000 spectators.
"It's a huge, huge track event," Mill Creek boys track and field coach Rik Moore said.
This is the second time that Mill Creek has hosted the Region 3 meet. The school was asked to host in 2006 on late notice after another venue fell through, but it had more than a month to get ready for this week's event.
The preparations this time included borrowing an extra high jump pit, preparing the infield and getting the press box, fieldhouse and concession stand organized.
"We're a little better prepared," Moore said. "It's like hosting one of our meets, but for someone else and much larger and for four days instead of two."
Mill Creek had to win a bid process over Starr's Mill and Carrollton to host the event.
"They liked our facilities and our meet management," Moore said. "I think the location and being close to a lot of great restaurants helped."
To compete in this meet, the top five athletes had to qualify in their event during a meet at Starr's Mill last month.
Gwinnett County has several runners who will be at the meet. Peachtree Ridge state champion pole vaulter Matt Morris and Berkmar grad Justyn Shackleford, a state runner-up in the 300 hurdles, also will be there.
Grayson's Jasmine Abrams, a state runner-up in the 200-meter run, and Jackqueline Obi will compete in the sprints. Berkmar's Elexis Guster and Peachtree Ridge's Sonikqua Walters will be in the 400, Norcross' Kamilah Bakari is in the 100 hurdles and Collins Hill's state champion 800-meter runner Sydney Williams will compete in the 800.
The top individual and relay teams from the regional will qualify for the National Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships at Wichita State University on July 26-31.
"If you want to see some of the top athletes in their age group, yes, you'll see some really good track athletes," Moore said.
This weekend's meet begins with qualifying today, Friday and Saturday. The finals are on Sunday in running and field events.
"It speaks well of where our program is from," Moore said. "To host a meet like this, because it's a huge undertaking, it's a big honor for us. It's a lot of hard work, but it's an honor for us."

Stuck in my Head – 'Red Blooded Woman'Posted: May 28, 2012 Filed under: Stuck in my Head | Tags: Body Language, dance, iTunes, Kylie Minogue, Kylie Minogue Red Blooded Woman, Locomotion, music video, pop music, Red Blooded Woman, stuck in my head, Time Bomb, traffic jam Leave a comment
Occasionally I like to creep on iTunes for new songs that I can't live without and at $1.29 a pop I better not be able to live without them! Anywho, I came across musical bad ass Kylie Minogue and her new single "Time Bomb."
As usual, Kylie has yet to disappoint and anyone who can wear a dress made out a few pieces of string and three scraps of fabric is a hero in my book. Hint: watch the whole music video and you will see what I mean.
After watching "Time Bomb," this spurred me to look up some older Kylie jams and I came across my all-time favise Kylie song…"Red Blooded Woman." As they say, you don't choose what you love, it chooses you…and in this case that's 100% truth.
"Red Blooded Woman" can be found on Kylie's ninth studio album "Body Language," released in 2003. The song did really well in the UK, reaching the number four spot and not too bad in the U.S…reaching number 24 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Party chart (yes, this exists).
Favise lyrics: "You'll never get to heaven if you're scared of getting high"
While I love the song, I love the video even more! Now that I drive to and from work, I get stuck in the occasional rage-blackout inducing traffic jam. If I just take Kylie's approach, I can reduce my blood pressure and probably meet some new people along the way. Let me explain.
In the musical video interpretation of "Red Blooded Woman," Kylie get stuck in traffic. Instead of blacking out and/or lighting up a cigarette like the rest of the traffic participants, Kylie exits the vehicle and dances provocatively along the highway. Now my question is…why didn't I think of this?
Kylie – Thank you for giving me something constructive to do while in traffic. I will be forever grateful.
Unpopular Opinions: 'Dancing With The Stars'Posted: May 22, 2012 Filed under: Television Shows | Tags: Ballroom dance, dance, dancing, Dancing with the Stars, Gwen Stefani, Mario Lopez, Television program, tv, tv shows, Unpopular Opinions 1 Comment
Hi, hi, hello! My name is India, and in addition to acting as Kari's punching bag and legal representation on the Internet, I also have a few unpopular opinions. Unfortunately, I usually don't know that my opinion is unpopular until I'm being reamed out in a spectacularly public fashion. Dear readers, I, like the dolphins in "Bridesmaids," am here to save you from similar humiliation.
In my debut column, Unpopular Opinions, I will share some of my greatest (worst?) hits and also provide some superior alternatives so you can keep your thumb on the pulse of pop culture without having to suffer through inferior material. Let's get started!
So, "Dancing with the Stars." It's a bad TV show, straight up. As loyal followers of Blog Like It's Hot, you know that Kari and my other roommates are big fans of the show. As the only AT&T subscriber in the apartment, this puts me in a difficult spot when voting time comes around.
Despite the high ratings and endless line of C-list celebrities (sorry, Rob!), this show has failed to pique my interest.
First, the dancing is bad. Yes, yes, I know the premise of the show is teaching C- and D-listers to ballroom dance, but seriously. Viewers are forced to watch the same ballroom dances from episode to episode with little variation beyond who will screw up this time. How many times can someone realistically watch someone stumble through a paso doble before they are longing for something, anything, even infomercials, to break up the monotony? Pro-tip – I make it about ten minutes every time.
Second, the music is terrible. I love a good cover band, but the band on "Dancing with the Stars" is routinely sub-par, fumbling contemporary songs so badly that I cannot pay attention to anything else. The singers are nearly always off-key, the tempo is mangled, and the overall effect often forces me to leave the room clutching my ears. Points for enthusiasm, guys, but some songs just aren't meant to be mashed into a sambo rhythm.
Skip to 2:00 to listen to the house band commit aural crimes against humanity as they butcher Gwen Stefani's "What'chu Waiting For" while Mario Lopez attempts to tango.
Third, the costumes are questionable at best and seem to be approximately 30% double-sided tape. I'm not sure how being mostly covered in nude spandex with some flowy bits tacked on contributes to one's ballroom dancing, but check out the monstrosity below.
So combine bad dancing, bad cover songs, and bad costumes, and we have a bad show. "Dancing with the Stars." I do not recommend it.
If you, and I understand the urge, need something to fill the dance-shaped hole in your life, try FOX's "So You Think You Can Dance" or MTV's "America's Best Dance Crew." Not only do the shows feature real dancers, but the music and costumes are waaaaay better! Checkout ABDC's Season 1 winners, the Jabbawockeez, below!
J.Lo Doesn't Listen to You…You Listen to J.LoPosted: May 5, 2012 Filed under: Music | Tags: american idol, dance, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Lopez Waiting for Tonight, Jenny from the block, marc anthony, music, Waiting for Tonight, What to Expect When You're Expecting 1 Comment
Every once in a while I get on a certain musical artist kick.
During this kick, I basically listen to one artist over and over until my roommates can't stand it anymore. Obviously, I don't get sick of the music..hence the kick. This month I am on a J.Lo/Jenny from the block/Jennifer Lopez/Selena kick.
J.Lo has provided me, along with the world, great jams that have the ability to fill the void in a variety of occasions and moments.
Below I would like to highlight a few of my favorite J.Lo jams.
'Waiting for Tonight'
Who hasn't gotten up on a Friday morning and thought "God, I can't wait for tonight." I do this everyday…even on Mondays.
"Waiting for Tonight" is one of those songs that you play at the party, before the party. Whenever this song comes on, I automatically turn on my green laser strobe lights, whisper inappropriate phrases in Spanish, glue jewels over my whole body and dance my face off in a manner that would make J.Lo proud.
If you recall, "Waiting for Tonight" was release in 1999. Yes, that was before we called Jennifer J.Lo! Even though it's over 10 years old, this song still entices people to anticipate tonight and try to dance like Jennifer…but fail miserably .
J.Lo – with "Waiting for Tonight" you officially earned my endorsement. Get it girl.
Stay tuned…there's more J.Lo coming up…
Topless TuesdayPosted: February 28, 2012 Filed under: Topless Tuesday | Tags: dance, Dancing with the Stars, derek hough, Kirstie Alley, Maks, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Maria Menounos, topless, topless men, Topless Tuesday Leave a comment
I hope you didn't forget that today is Tuesday…which means it's the one day a week you're allowed to step outside without a top on. Okay, that's not entirely true, but I suggest you contact your local representative and ask that the Topless Tuesday bill gets passed!
In honor of the 14th round of dancers on "Dancing with the Stars" announced today, I have decided to write about my second favorite professional dancer in the whole wide world…
Maksim Chmerkovskiym
Ohh Maks…so pretty.
God bless the doctor that gave you birth…little did that doc know he was making the world a better place.
Born Jan. 17, 1980 in Odessa, Ukraine, Maksim Aleksandrovich Chmerkovskiy has been shaking his shit since he was four years old. What's interesting is that a younger Maks had different goals in mind. Instead of striving to become a Latin ballroom dancer/choreographer/instructor, he was aiming to become an Olympic swimmer or a soccer player.
Not falling in love with dancing until his teen years, Maks' dreams at becoming a champion dancer were almost put to a complete hault. A skiing accident broke Maks' right leg and his doctor told him that dancing would be close to impossible.
Of course Maks didn't let a broken leg stop him. He dedicated much of his time to physical therapy and healing. After a successful recovery, the dancing champion invited his doctor to the first competition since the accident. Needless to say, the doc was speechless.
We first met Maks on season two of "Dancing with the Stars." He was partnered with Tia Carrere (the girl from "Wayne's World") and they came in sixth place. Out of 13 completed seasons, Maks has competed in 11. The dance pro has yet to win the coveted Mirror Ball trophy, but he has landed in the runner-up position twice…with partners Mel B and Kirstie Alley.
Even though Maks has yet to secure the Mirror Ball trophy…he has picked up a boatload of dance achievements along the way. One notable title is the 2004 Philadelphia Dancesport Festival Champion.
Along with being a DWTS dancer, Maks has some other things going on besides looking pretty. He owns four dance studios and is a part of Dance Team USA, which is a nonprofit that is "dedicated to recruiting, supporting, and training future DanceSport participants."
Up next for Maks is the 14th season of DWTS. This season Maks is partnered with Melissa Gilbert. My name is Kari and I endorse this partnership because Gilbert met Rob Lowe at a red light and dated him for six years. Get it girl.
Dear Maks, I have complete faith that you will, one day, get that Mirror Ball trophy. If you need someone to Tonya Harding Derek Hough, I will do it for you. Let's be real, Hough has won enough already.
Love you lots – Kari
P.S. Whoever is dressing you in those low-cut shirts deserves a raise.
Memorable Dance OffsPosted: February 15, 2012 Filed under: Random | Tags: Austin Powers, Britney Spears, dance, dance-off, Destiny's Child, J.Lo, julia stiles, Les Grossman, movies, music, save the last dance, Tom Cruise, White Chicks Leave a comment
Hi, my name is Kari and I want to be a part of a dance off.
I believe what sparked my love for the dance off was when I witnessed Julia Stiles dominate in "Save the Last Dance." This is long overdue, but must be said…Thank you Julia for giving me the confidence to back that ass up.
Whether it be at a bar, in the middle of the street or any flat surface, I want to be involved and I bet you do too. Below are some of my favise dance offs.
'White Chicks'
Leave it to the Wayans brothers to pull off an amazing dance off scene. "White Chicks" stars the brothers as two FBI agents who impersonate ladies in order to solve a case. You're probably thinking how ridiculous that sounds…but I pinky swear…this movie is hil.ar.ious.
P.S. keep an eye out for Busy Philipps and Jennifer Carpenter.
If you didn't think the Wayans brothers were going to win…slap yourself in the face.
'Lose My Breath' – Destiny's Child
It's classy Beyoncé vs. gangster Beyoncé. First of all, can there even be a winner in this scenario? Second of all, why are you still reading this and not watching the video?
When I dream about dance offs, this is exactly how I picture them. In the Destiny's Child scenario, I would probably take on the role of Michelle. I already rock a white jumpsuit every Thursday…gotta be on point for my ethics class. You dig it?
Britney Spears vs. Austin Powers
It's Britney Spears!
While many harass and harangue Britney for her singing abilities…you can't take away the fact that this bitch can dance and look good while doing it.
Sadly, this round goes to Austin. I do have one question though…how do I get bullets to shoot out of my breasts?
J.Lo vs. Tom Cruise
He is really making Katie Holmes proud with this one. Even though I do not endorse Tom Cruise at all…he does have some appeal when he embodies Les Grossman.
I deem J.Lo the winner…she is from da Bronx after all.
Catch you on the flip side.
Speaking of Strippers…part IIIPosted: November 6, 2011 Filed under: Music, Random | Tags: can't be tamed, dance, exotic, jam, miley cyrus, pole dancing, Rihanna, song, stripper, Umbrella Leave a comment
While I'm still pouring through all of the fan mail and emails about your favise stripper jams (kidding), I have decided now is that time to conclude my Speaking of Strippers series.
The musical genre for this post is pop music…my specialty!
'Can't Be Tamed' – Miley Cyrus
As we all know…Miss Cyrus is no stranger to pole dancing…so choosing a jam by this pop singer is a wise choice. The classy lady who chose Miley shall be called…Queen Bee and for those who don't know, she can get a bit crazy…just like Miley!
In another life, I could see Miley being a very popular/entertaining exotic dancer. Her real name is Destiny Hope for goodness sakes!
Side note: I would take it as a compliment if someone said I would be a very popular/entertaining exotic dancer. I think it's a skill you are born with.
As for Queen Bee's performance…I see the dance starting out in a birdcage…just like the music video. When the chorus hits…the money will be flying out of the customer's hands! Work it…like a glass of water.
Lyrics that exotic dancers would probably be proud of: "I go through guys like money flyin' out the hands/They try to change me but they realize they can't/And every tomorrow is a day I never plan/If you're gonna be my man understand/I can't be tamed"
Take a listen and remember…she's just being Miley.
'Umbrella' – Rihanna
The final song one of my friends chose incase she decides to change to a more exotic career is "Umbrella." This young lady picked the exotic dancer name…The Professor. Now that's legit.
"Umbrella" is a very upbeat song that allows for one very special prop onstage…an umbrella…duh. I imagine The Professor's routine including many umbrellas' and handing them out…a nice parting gift for the customers.
I picture the "Umbrella" routine not only encompassing umbrellas, but also a shit ton of glitter. I have a feeling that if you add real water to the routine…the results might be less than favorable. I'm just trying to protect The Professor since I'm unsure if this career offers benefits.
Lyrics that exotic dancers would probably be proud of: Now that it's raining more than ever/Know that we'll still have each other/You can stand under my umbrella/You can stand under my umbrella
Watch and learn from Rihanna.
Well, that concludes my Speaking of Strippers series. If you are looking for additional information on this career path, I highly recommend "How to Make Love Like a Porn Star" by Jenna Jameson. It will change your life.
Speaking of Strippers…part IIPosted: November 3, 2011 Filed under: Music, Random | Tags: closer, dance, exotic dancer, Muse, nine inch nails, pole dance, rock music, stripper, Uprising 2 Comments
In keeping with the stripper theme, I took it upon myself to poll some friends. They have graciously shared some pretty hoppin songs they would exotically dance to.
I have gathered four responses and I am going to group them in terms of their musical genre. The first genre will be a stretch for me…industrial rock/alternative rock music.
'Closer' – Nine Inch Nail
Since I promised to change names in order to protect the innocent, this friend of mine requested to be called Ginger Snaps…aka her stripper name. Now who wouldn't want to tip a lady with a name like that?
What peaked my interest about Ginger Snaps response was when I asked what song she would choose…she immediately blurted out "Closer." Looks like someone has thought about this before…tsk-tsk.
For those of you who have never heard "Closer" before, I'm warning you…the lyrics are toeing the R-rated line…I had to prove to YouTube that I was over 18 to watch the music video.
This jam has an excellent beat to shake your bon bon (and other areas) to, but the lyrics may give some people the wrong idea. Hey – whatever you're into right?
Lyrics that exotic dancers would probably be proud of: "You get me closer to God." It's probably because they can climb a pole with all four limbs.
'Uprising' – Muse
Next up on the track list is a sweet jam by alternative rock band Muse. The lovely lady who chose this song actually called me to sing the lyrics…and what a beautiful voice she has.
This friend of mine requested to be called Coco…and not because of the reality show "Ice Loves Coco."
Anywho, this Muse jam seems like an unlikely song to get your exotic dance on to…but Coco witnessed this jam in action at an actual strip club. She said it works and I believe her.
I think the occasional guitar riff throughout helps boosts this song's stripper cred. If you take a listen and close your eyes…you can map out your dance moves from home.
Another aspect of this jam that cements it into the mix tapes of strippers everywhere, is that fact that this is a "let's rage against the machine" kinda song. If that doesn't make you want to dance on or by a pole, I don't know what will.
Lyrics that exotic dancers would probably be proud of: "They will not force us/They will stop degrading us/They will not control us/We will be victorious"
