Thomas Christiansen Wins Graduate Dean's Prestigious Fellowship Supplement to Support Kalahari Research
Posted: August 8, 2013
The Department of Geography and the Environment is pleased to congratulate Thomas Christiansen for being awarded the Graduate Dean's Prestigious Fellowship Supplement for 2013-2014. The award is given to students who hold competitive, external, prestigious fellowships that recognize the student's academic achievements. Consideration for the award is based upon nomination by the graduate adviser.
The fellowship will support Christiansen's Doctoral dissertation research: Impact of climate, land management, and fire on vegetation structure, composition, and diversity within the Botswana Kalahari. The main land management types of Botswana are unmanaged (open access) livestock grazing areas, managed game (wildlife) farms, and protected wilderness areas (with no livestock). These land management types differ in annual precipitation and in pressures from various factors, including human disturbance and resource extraction, impact of livestock, impact of large herbivores, and fire. Areas of different combinations of these factors will therefore be selected for field work. MODIS and Landsat imagery will be used to reconstruct the past fire history of the Botswana Kalahari. Field work will include measurement and identification of vegetation within 10 x 20 meter plots, fuel load assessment, and soil analysis. 27 field sites are currently planned within three precipitation regions, between the three main land management types, and areas of different fire history within each.
For more information about Thomas Christensen's related research on Remote Sensing of Vegetation in the Botswana Kalahari, you can view his award winning paper here.

Ulysses Annotated: Notes for James Joyce's Ulysses
University of California Press, Jan 1, 2008 - Literary Criticism - 643 pages
Don Gifford's annotations to Joyce's great modern classic comprise a specialized encyclopedia that will inform any reading of Ulysses. The suggestive potential of minor details was enormously fascinating to Joyce, and the precision of his use of detail is a most important aspect of his literary method. The annotations in this volume illuminate details which are not in the public realm for most of us.
The annotations gloss place names, define slang terms, give capsule histories of institutions and political and cultural movements and figures, supply bits of local and Irish legend and lore, explain religious nomenclature and practices, trace literary allusions and references to other cultures. Annotations are keyed not only to the reading text of the critical edition of Ulysses, but to the standard 1961 Random House edition, and the current Modern Library and Vintage texts.

Modern Physics - Course Description
Wednesday, August 15, 2012
This course examines several related themes regarding physics in the context of the modern world. It challenges students to consider the importance of understanding science and technology as factors of change in the modern world. We explore optics as a means of demonstrating the evolution of physical theories. In connection with this, we take up experimental work in the field of optics and physical colors, in which we compare the understanding of color phenomena in a holistic manner with the analysis of experimental results through modern mathematical models.
We take up questions that relate historically to the development of physics in the 20th century and their present impact. As background reading, students refer to Physics for the Rest of Us, by Roger Jones, physics professor at the University of Minnesota, for descriptions and a critique of 20th century physics. In class students discuss and report on questions arising from this work.
An important aspect of the course is to experience physics in a modern setting. To this end we take up current technological issues facing the human being in today's world, such as the energy crisis, alternative energy sources and related technology. A field trip to Fermilab, one of the world's prominent particle physics labs, is another gateway for students into the realm of modern physics.
Welcome to the Chicago Waldorf School classrooms!
This course description page introduces an area of the website that is a communications and resource bulletin for the faculty to share details about their classes and special subjects. This message board is a resource for the teacher to post information and impressions about the progress of the class and the students' activities. Ranging from a broad analysis of the learning goals of the year, to the specifics of a deadline for a homework assignment, you will find information about the activities of this class in these periodically updated posts.

5 Things: March 15, 2011
>>1. (PARTY) HELP FOR JAPAN SF's nightlife community is already pulling out the fundraiser stops for Japan. First up: Thursday night's Good Foot party at SOM, a rad hip-hop and funk-soul affair with special superstar guests Lyrics Born and Trackademics. They're donating a dollar for everyone who comes, so bring your crew and dancing shoes.
>>2. YUM, BUT NO SCRUBDOWN Around Union Square, it's hard to find upscale dining that isn't aimed at the hordes of hungry tourists. But for authentic Italian, Fino really is fine – no need to navigate the North Beach girly bars for excellent alfredo or crisp, light veal piccata. The restaurant is in an old Turkish bathhouse – waiters argue over where the pool was, with most agreeing on the kitchen – and the crème brulee is to die for.
>>3. ALL THINGS GREEN (AND VEGAN) In and of itself a halfway admissable reason to have a break in your veganism: your Guinness contains animal products, probably. (Thank fur-stroking Paddy, then, for Jameson.) But to assuage your grief and make sticking to the critter-free lifestyle easier, PETA has assembled a lovely list of recipes for vegan, Irish-inspired savories for St. Patrick's Day – as well as contributions to the fine American tradition of adding green dye to every damn thing.
>>4. ON THE UP AND UP A Bay Area classic that everyone should check out, Stairway Walks in San Francisco, has been updated and just rereleased. 670 stairways? That's a lot of bun-firming.
>>5. FEELIN' SAXY and whisperin' careless!

Roddenberry's Worst Ideas

No money.
Mankind having evolved past greed and now working only to better themselves.
No conflict on TNG among the crew because of all this enlightened evolving.
The no money part - if there's no money, there's no economy and no trade. You need an accepted medium of exchange or else you have to have a barter system.
TNG's crew had no real interpersonal conflict unless an outsider came in (Shelby) who was treated relatively poorly by the crew (Riker), who should've been professional enough to understand that she's there for a reason and to do a job.
Lack of visible enlisted crew with actual rank pips/stripes. Not everyone's an officer. Why spend 4 years at the academy to be a yeoman in TNG's timeframe? Someone has to fill clerical duties for the admirals at Starbases, and an ensign sure wouldn't do it.
Jumpsuits. Those never looked comfortable nor like
, unlike the Wrath of Khan uniforms.
Wrath of Khan uniform derivatives - the crewneck and no-shirt variants. Better to use transitional uniforms, like Excelsior and Ambassador were transitional ships to the Enterprise D. I've seen a few here and at the Uniform site.
Dress uniforms - they were actual dresses. Later uniforms with just gold piping were better, but I'm sure there's a happy medium to be had.
Admiral uniforms - they changed every time an admiral appeared with no explanation.
DS9/VOY jumpsuits - why?
No political exploration - just for an episode or a scene, discuss the political structure of the Federation. At best, it's a republic, with elected representatives sent to a Federation Council of some sort, leaving the individual planets to manage their own internal affairs without interference from other species. What's the President's term, and how is he elected/selected? Is it Federation-wide, or is he elected from the Federation Council, similar to how a Prime Minister works in some governments?
No advancement - I get it with contracts and all, but why would Riker stall his career for over 12 years to stay on the Enterprise, when he could've been an admiral by then? Similarly Picard, Crusher, La Forge, etc. The original crew had rank advancement much more quickly than the TNG crew.
Carpet/Upholstery civilian garb - I've seriously seen some of those civilian outfits on couches in the late 80s/early 90s.
Overuse of Miranda/Excelsior/Oberth ships - are there not any other classes of vessel in Starfleet? We should've seen New Orleans, Centaur, Constitution, et al, all over the place. A perfect opportunity for TNG-R to spruce things up, which they likely won't take.
No exploration of Pike or April's time on the Enterprise - aside from the Cage/Menagerie, and the animated episode with April, we don't hear anything about Captain Robert April's time on the Enterprise, and he remains really nothing more than conjecture.
No exploration of 1701B or 1701C - Perhaps after Generations or even during, we could get at least some notice that Harriman either retired or transferred, and what happened to Demora Sulu, at least in passing. And when did 1701-C launch? Little things yes, but they make a difference.
Archons in Enterprise - It would've been nice to see a real live Daedalus class vessel, perhaps even mention the USS Archon getting lost, or one of the other Daedalus class getting lost somewhere.
Orions in Next Generation, DS9, Voyager - nowhere to be found. All we saw was Rachel Nichols in ST09 as an example of a 'normal' Orion in Starfleet.
There's more if I could think of it, but that should do for now.
You do realise that almost all of these had nothing to do with Roddenberry (his 'worst ideas' are the topic of the thread)...

This company, made up of college students recruited nationwide, offers 9 musicals in 9 weeks each summer. The quality of the performances is excellent! What an amazing feat! And this is the 41st year that this has been offered in Falmouth!
Thank you for the very kind comments. We hope to see you back for our 47th season!
I am in awe of the talent that these College Men and women posses. The quality of the productions they put out week after week is amazing
Seven family members ranging in age from 13-70 had a wonderful time at the company's production of the HMS Pinafore. The performers did a great job and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening. If we were residents, I would get season tickets!
This 40-year young summer music theater attracts the cream of the crop among rising young performers. Each summer, for 9 weeks, they produce a different show each week with a full orchestra. We saw Gilbert & Sullivan's "HMS Pinafore" and truly -- no lie! -- enjoyed it more than many NYC Broadway shows we've seen. Tickets are modestly priced and...
We saw Les Miserables at the College Light Opera Company. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The cast of young college student performers was amazing-- really strong, beautiful voices. The acting, orchestra, set design, costumes, and direction were all first rate and, frankly, much better than we were expecting from what we thought would be an amateur summer stock company...
This is my third year with season tickets. Last night was "White Horse Inn". A thoroughly enjoyable musical which was very well done. It looks like another great season. Too bad the venue can't be improved. The seating is like a middle school auditorium in the 1950's. Horrible! Falmouth should do better......
My husband and I began going to CLOC productions in the early 1970s. In those days, all the performers were from Oberlin College, and the shows were mainly Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. The productions were enthusiastic and fun, but definitely on the level of good college productions, with only a few really strong performers. Fast forward to six or seven...
We have 3 seasons of season tickets and these productions get us acquainted with high quality long running broadway shows of the older variety. These a wonderful well rehearsed weekly productions.
Full Disclosure: I was a member of the Company in the summer of 1971, and the producers are long-time friends.
I sat in the house for the first time this year, and I can say honestly that the experience was great! CLOC is a very professional company, and the soloists were excellent. Definitely recommended for a night of musical theater....
our daughter got a lead role......but truly, both she and the entire production were excellent. Can't imagine a visit to the Cape without taking in a show while there.
Thank you for your kind comment!

Big data
As federal agencies begin incorporating substantial big-data capabilities into their organizations, they're grappling with some of the nitty-gritty details of how to do it. A couple of pro tips: Focus on the mission, and mix and match information from different sources to find innovative ways to use data.
Shawn Kingsberry, CIO at the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, advised federal agencies to "ignore the buzzword soup" of technology and focus on what they want to achieve with big-data applications.
"Technology can divert attention from the business needs," he said during a big-data conference in Washington on Feb. 25. "At the end of the day, you know the problem you're trying to solve, but sometimes we can't focus on that because we're worried about the latest buzzword."
A tight focus can lead to innovative thinking that yields useful big-data solutions without spending money on new technology. For instance, Kingsberry said his agency combined the Justice Department's fraud indictment information with audits of big recipients of federal assistance to find data that indicated possible criminal activity.
Similarly, mixing and matching big databases helped the Social Security Administration develop datasets for verifying disability claims, said Herb Strauss, SSA's deputy CIO.
He said the agency combines its deep pool of information with outside databases such as LexisNexis to match property ownership records against the information supplied by claimants.
Agencies can learn a great deal by sharing information with one another and mining external data sources, Strauss added.
He said SSA has been working in a big-data environment since its origins in the 1930s, although the technological capabilities were quite different when the agency was first tasked with assigning and maintaining accounts for every American. That responsibility eventually expanded to include tracking survivor and disability benefits and other duties that increased the amounts of data SSA monitored.
Today, applying big-data technology and techniques is an ongoing process that requires continued attention. "It can't be like a cat fight, with 10 seconds of intense activity followed by a five-year pause," Strauss said.
Although SSA has been sifting data since the Great Depression, Kingsberry's agency has been at work only since the Great Recession.
He detailed the construction of the Recovery.gov site that tracks data on spending under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which led audience members to ask about how to track unstructured data. Such information can present problems because some systems cannot process it uniformly. That sparked further discussion about the difficulties of sharing data, unstructured or otherwise, across agencies.
Kingsberry said his agency took responsibility for data input from the beginning to ensure that it was presented in a uniform manner.
He added that when he works with other agencies to access their data, he sets up memoranda of understanding that explicitly state what each agency expects and what their responsibilities are.

Jimmy Rollins remains out of the Phillies' lineup after "miscommunication"
Apr 4, 2014, 11:45 AM EDT
Jimmy Rollins was initially back in the Phillies' lineup for today's game after leaving the team for the birth of his child, but manager Ryne Sandberg just posted a new lineup with Jayson Nix starting in his place at shortstop.
Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com reports that Rollins is not yet back with the team, so they'll play at least one more game short-handed. He wasn't officially placed on the paternity leave list, so no replacement player was added to the roster in his absence.
Sandberg told reporters that there was a "miscommunication" in which he thought Rollins would be back in time for today's game, but instead the shortstop will be getting back in town tonight.

Seems to be a running theme between those two…
- scoutsaysweitersisabust - Apr 4, 2014 at 12:04 PM
Sandberg assumed Rollins would be a better teammate and force his wife to have a C-Section a week ago so that he would be there for today's super important baseball that that could have fed the poor, cured disease, and brought peace to the middle east. Also, Rollins was talking about taking more walks, because he's a commy fascist.

- sportsfan18 - Apr 4, 2014 at 6:44 PM
Yes he is. So is the Reds 2nd baseman Brandon Phillips.
Both of these guys have done some things in their careers, I give credit where it is due.
But, each of these players think much more highly of themselves as players than what their play warrants, especially now that each of them have gotten a bit older.

5.0 out of 5 stars The White Stripes' Masterpiece
A lot of people prefer the sound of Elephant to this album, and while I loved Elephant I still say this is their legacy. It is one of the rarities you find that you can listen to without skipping a single track. I originally bought this album because I liked Fell in Love With a Girl, but I never expected it to be one of the best albums I have ever heard. It is just that...

2.0 out of 5 stars I really don't understand why this is the "NEXT BIG THING"
Maybe I'm the only person around here that feels this way but when has it become "cool" to go back in time and try to sound like crap?
OK maybe that's too harsh. Lemme get constructive on this although most of you will think I'm on crack. I listen to a LOT of music. I listen to classical, metal, some folk, and now I've been suckered into listening to Emo. My friends,...

J. Hayes (AL, United States) - See all my reviews
A lot of people prefer the sound of Elephant to this album, and while I loved Elephant I still say this is their legacy. It is one of the rarities you find that you can listen to without skipping a single track. I originally bought this album because I liked Fell in Love With a Girl, but I never expected it to be one of the best albums I have ever heard. It is just that in my mind, from the opening track Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground to the end track This Protector. It is so eclectic in sound ranging from the blues sound found in their earlier work to some more accoustic ballads, and even a touch of country(of which I am not a fan, but Jack White does it right). It is simply amazing that two people are behind music this big, and while they keep it simplistic and minimalistic they are the best in making full use of what they have. Fell in Love With a Girl is a great song and we have all heard that one by now. But if you were ever pondering buying this cd and haven't then go buy it quickly. Hotel Yorba is one of the songs with a country feel to it and I think it is great. All in all every songs flows into the next one really well and the diversity in style makes this a truly great piece of music. If you are still unsure, download some tracks like I'm Finding It Harder..., The Union Forever, I Think I Smell a Rat, Now Mary and Fell in Love With A Girl. Once you hear these you should have a great idea of the sound the Stripes present in White Blood Cells and you will either love it or hate it. It is destined to become a classic and rightfully so. Regardless, check this out if you yearn for meaningful music you surely wont see on MTV. You will probably be glad you did. And one more thing, check out another great one by the White Stripes, Elephant.
5.0 out of 5 stars classic,
cashed22 (A-town, colorado) - See all my reviews
my fav white stripes album, its harder and better. to those who criticize the white stripes..?!?!?.. its a guy and a girl for the most part, its minimal, and honestly they rarely self endulge as they ride many styles, from thumpin metal to cutsie folk.
I think track 5 (expecting) is most self indulgent as they go deep into their riffy, abstract metal, but its still a good one. My favs are:
1. dead leaves... great intro riff and chorus, the lyrics as always totally click with me, hard and good.
3. Gentelmen... incorporates an organ/piano for a classic hook, their minimal style lends to great builds ups n climax, its done here to perfection.
4. Fell in love with a girl... uve probably heard it, its good , loud and fast, not my fav.
the middle lulls a bit to me .. although 5 as mentioned before is good. little room is an interestin exscursion/filler.
9. we are going to be friends... 2nd song i ever heard of theirs. very folky and light, same riff over and over but jacks lyrics more than make up for it as usual. i like it.
13. i cant wait.. the song is good, a good example of jane's hypnotic drums. At one point when you think the lyrics are going to continue they are dropped and jack picks up on them with his guitar, one of my favorite effects. and Jack always does it superbly, especially here, i think it saves the song.
16. this protector... putting this track at the end rather than in the middle somewhere transforms it from a good filler to an almost awe inspiring 30 seconds for me... after he goes through the first lyrics, and then a short buildup to
" 300 people living out in west virginia,
have no idea about these thoughts that are within ya
... nobodies around... lookin at the door.. comin through the floor."
i dunno its just clicks with me and stands at as one of the all time concluding tracks for me.. it sums it all up so well...
4.0 out of 5 stars if you liked 'Elephant' . . .,
S B "sdb70" (Phoenix, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews
then definitely pick up this 2001 commercial hit.
The opener, "Dead Leaves and Dirty Ground" has the same tasty plodding hard rock guitar riffs that characterized the eponymous record (1999), a style which occupies much of this record ("Expecting", "Offend in Every Way", "Aluminum", "I Can't Wait"), although Jack White has come a long way in terms of writing lyrics.
The second tune, "Hotel Yorba", is country blues in the finest tradition, not unlike the tunes that dominated their second record, 'De Stijl' (2000) or retro-experiments of the Rolling Stones' 'Exile on Main St.' (1972). The same can be said of the lovely acoustic ballad, "We're Going to Be Friends" (the sequel to "Sister, Do You Know My Name"?).
The highpoints appear when Jack and Meg White distill their influences into products of their own voice, such as "I'm Finding It Harder to Be a Gentleman", with it's hard rock/piano riff you just can't get out of your head. On that note, I would be remiss if I did not mention their biggest single, the sparse and manic "I Fell in Love with a Girl" (if you haven't THIS one, you must be living under a rock). Finally, of note is the juxtaposition of the two centerpieces of the record - the first being the most minimalist song of this "minimalist" band, "Little Room", which is probably the best summation of Kurt Cobain's career that has ever been done - all in 50 seconds. The theme of selling out is carried on in "The Union Forever", with a guitar/organ riff ripped from the same gothic page as the bass line in "Seven Nation Army".
The bottom line is that if you liked the Grammy-winning 'Elephant' (2001), then 'White Blood Cells' is a must.
4.0 out of 5 stars A breath of fresh air...,
Mr. Music (New York) - See all my reviews
I was getting sick of it. I was loosing faith in the music industry. In the midst of raprock bands calling themselves metal (Linkin Park), Sluts with horrible radio hits (Beyonce) and once-great bands releasing horrid albums, comes The White Stripes. They were the music industry's last hope for raw, quality, real music. They have been under the radar for quite some time with two great albums (White Stripes and Deji Still) -but never made it big until a few great songs off here made it big. Fell In Love with a Girl is a fast paced powerhouse, and Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground is a great song, but the best one here is an overlooked track called 'Finding Harder to Be a Gentlemen' - and excellent song, very catchy. This is pure rock and roll with a healthy dose of blues. Jack and Meg are an excellent team, and obviously didn't buckle under the pressure as they released another great album, Elephant. Still, this is a great album. Only, there are 2 tracks that pollute the album. Little Room and Were Going to Be Friends aren't really great, but don't make this a bad album. All in all, this is a great album.
4.0 out of 5 stars Better than I expected...,
ewomack "ewomack" (MN USA) - See all my reviews
This album was handed to me by a friend; I had never heard any of the White Stripes' music or anything about them whatsoever before hearing this disc. It was a completely cold listen. There's some pretty good stuff on here - the first half of the disc has far more energy and kick to it than the last half (my attention span declined drastically as the album played on); "Hotel Yorba" has a great beat and melody that sticks. That said there's also some lousy stuff on this disc: why were "I Think I Smell A Rat" and "Aluminum" even recorded? I found myself laughing out loud at "Aluminum"'s chorus-laden wails (if it's supposed to be funny then it's brilliant, but it's hard to tell). What was most evident is that garage rock has become its own genre complete with its own clichés (recording hiss, intentionally sloppy feedback, intentionally sloppy drumming, some fret buzz every now and then, some missed notes intentionally left in the mix, cracking vocals, flat mixing, distortion overdriven to a painful degree, etc - these have been elements of "garage" rock for well over 20 years). There's nothing revolutionary here, and some of the music sounds a bit too forced in places (like the band is trying really hard to be creative), but that's okay; good music doesn't need to be revolutionary or "redefine" a genre. All it needs to be is fun or engaging to listen to. The White Stripes have succeeded in at least that. Not to mention that it's becoming harder and harder to be "revolutionary" in the genre of guitar rock. Guitar rock is simply going the way of jazz and folk in that there's simply not much more one can do to "expand" the genre that hasn't already been experimented with. But that's also okay. It opens up pathways to new music forms, and is pretty much inevitable no matter what venue of popular music one looks at. Music forms come and go, and fans of one genre or generation will always claim that "mine is better, yours is derivative and takes less talent to play... blah blah blah blah..." (jazz fans said this about rockabilly, "old" country fans said this about "new" country, fans of "classic" opera said this about "comic" opera - i.e., Wagner vs. Gilbert & Sullivan, etc., etc., etc...). Just enjoy the music already.
All that garbage aside, I'll be curious to hear some of the White Stripes' other albums. I think including more of the woman's vocals would really add an extra dimension to the music.

1. Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground- A slow, brooding rock song with good lyrics and a cool video.
2. Hotel Yorba- A silly little country-influenced jam with an adorable video. You'll be singing the chorus forever.
3. I'm Finding It Harder To Be A Gentleman- One of my favorite songs on the album. Nice piano, a good tune, and great lyrics about misplaced attempts at chivalry.
4. Fell In Love With A Girl- The big hit of the album. Fun and fast and wears surprisingly well.
5. Expecting- Not my favorite, but good. Slow bluesy rock stuff. Jack delivers the lyrics well.
6. Little Room- Almost too short and sparse to be a song, but still a lot of fun. Composed of drums and vocals that descend rapidly into old jazz-style scatting.
7. The Union Forever- A little overdramatic and wearing at times, but still a cool and passionate song. Awesome lyrics taken from "Citizen Kane."
8. The Same Boy You've Always Known- Winsome and sweet and melancholy. I like it a lot. :)
9. We're Going To Be Friends- An soft, melodic song through a child's eyes, done in a perfect and non-cloying way.
10. Offend In Every Way- Pretty good music, cool lyrics about self-doubt and relationships with others.
11. I Think I Smell A Rat- Kind of amusing, but gets old fast.
12. Aluminum- A weird aural experiment that is pretty cool. I don't skip it when listening to the CD, but I don't get cravings for it, either, which is less than I can see for most of the songs on the album (the other major exception being Track 11).
13. I Can't Wait- A solid song that seems unremarkable at first, but grows on you rapidly.
14. Now Mary- Slightly blues influenced, mostly lighter slow-rock. Enjoyable.
15. I Can Learn- The delicate words seem kind of out of place with the labored melody, but a cool song that's been stuck in my head lately.
16. This Protector- Weird, but really great. Becoming one of my favorites.
In conclusion: This is an excellent album, as is every album I've heard from the Stripes, but I prefer Elephant and De Stijl. Some fabulous songs, some good but not quite awesome ones, and just two that I don't like much. Not as great as other White Stripes works, but still somewhat addictive and recommended by me (though the other two I mentioned are recommended a bit more highly).
5.0 out of 5 stars Song-by-Song Review,
Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground- Such a sad song. It has an excellent beat and lyrics, but Jack's just so... sad.
Hotel Yorba- This one's so fun to sing along with. You can't hear it and not want to sing.
I'm Finding it Harder to be a Gentleman- I like the lyrics to this song. They're humorous and light, but get a good point across.
Fell In Love With A Girl- This song was played a lot by MTV, but not so much anymore. The video is awesome. The song has awesome music. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Expecting- This is my least favorite song on this album.
Little Room- At only 50 seconds long, Little Room doesn't seem like it has much to offer. But hey, I like it.
The Union Forever- I like this song a whole lot. It's a very good song.
The Same Boy You've Always Known- This might just be my favorite on this album. It's a very close runner-up to I Can't Wait. The song is pretty sad. The best part is, "Think of what the past did, it could've lasted. So put it in your basket. I hope you know a strong man, who can lend you a hand, lowering my casket."
We're Going to be Friends- One word describes this song... aww!
Offend in Every Way- This song is so cool. I like how Jack writes about everyday things. This one's about how people are offended when he talks, since it sounds nothing like his singing voice. "I'll speak until I break, with every word I say, offend in every way."
I Think I Smell A Rat- This is a cool song. Very easy to relate to.
Aluminum- This sounds really cool. There are no lyrics, but this song is a demonstration of what can be done without computers; using just two people's intruments.
I Can't Wait- This song is my favorite. Jack's angry in it, and I like how he expresses it.
Now Mary- This song is also very good. It switches back and forth from the aocustic guitar to the bass one.
I Can Learn- I don't really like this song. Should've been left off the album.
This Protector- Jack plays the piano. Very cool. Meg even sings along with him, and gets to sing the words "But Now" all by herself. Yay for Meg!
4.0 out of 5 stars Yeah they are a good band and stuff,
123456789 (from from) - See all my reviews
and that's all that counts. They've got style, attitude, integrity, abilities, songwriting skills, and stuff, and stuff, and stuff and things. This album gets the same amount of attention as Elephant but for the reason that it really got them into the public eye.(although De Stijl had definitely done so also). Elephant gets better CRITICAL acclaim. However, after i bought both albums, listened to them for a while, took a step back and made an unbiased judgement, this album is just as good if not better than Elephant. With a band like the Stripes this could mean it has more songs, but does elephant have a song like Aluminum? that song is excellent. This protector is cool and yes Meg does sing on this album on more than one song. The union forever has the BEST lyrics of theirs, although other political songs hae been better. And little room is fun. Fell in love with a girl is still a great song, and hypnotise from Elephant sounds like a variation on it. Also, Dead leaves and the dirty ground is like Ball and Biscuit but without the long jam or solos. So what do they sound like? Energetic blues-influenced riff-rock. (wow i sound really stupid). There are so many levels of songwriting-Now Mary is simple yet effective, as is Fell in love with a girl. These show the band's famous minimalist style- Two members, yes? they make Linkin Park look like buttholes with six people jumping around acting all angry. There is hidden melodic depth to the songs as well. Highly reccommended to fans of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Radiohead, Nirvana,Led Zeppelin, and the Doors. Hmm does that say something? Elephant, De Stijl, and their self titled are good albums too, pick them up if you like this one or even if you don't. And stuff.
4.0 out of 5 stars The New Great (White) Hope of Rock'n'Roll,
Omer Belsky (Haifa, Israel) - See all my reviews
Every so often, I wonder whether I'm growing up. I started listening to Rock music when I was 17, and most of the groups I admire now I loved three years ago, too. I can still get excited about new songs, but now they are mainly new songs by acts I love (Frank Black, Lou Reed), or old, old songs I am still discovering ("Brown Sugar", "Got My Mojo Working"). If I encounter a new band, I can fall in love with one or two songs, and merely like the rest ("The Crystal Frontier" by Calexico is the perfect example). The new artists in my record rotation are mostly dead bluesmen and women (Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, the not-quite-dead-yet Etta James).
I still get wild in concert, I still wanna have a band, but I wonder, why is it that new artists don't attract me like old ones. I listened to the new bands, and I sort of like their material, which they so clearly ripped off from better bands. Not to name names, of course, but there's a certain New York Quattro which is a direct cross between the Velvets, the Stooges and the Smith. Am I turning into an old cynic?
Just when I was about to conclude that it IS me, the White Stripes came and saved my day.
I'm not quite sure when I decided that the White Stripes where not just another band, but a major artistic group that deserves my attention. I've been downloading stuff and listening to them in record shops. It might have been as early as when I first heard "Sugar Never Tasted So Good". I cringe thinking it may have been as late as when I fell in love with the Pixies vs. The Stones of "Seven Nation Army". But it happened.
The White Stripes have officially entered my pantheon of great bands; They are up there with the Who and Husker Du, I AM KLOOT and Jon Spencer, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix and Soul Coughing and the Pixies. Some of these are better and some less so, but they are all classicists. Welcome to the club.
If you want a testament on why the Stripes deserve this sort of company, if you want to hear what great Rock'n'Roll is all about, you couldn't do much better then 'White Blood Cells'
Beginning with Alternative rocker 'Dead Leaves on a Dirty Ground', with hard, bluesy riffs, White Blood Cell is a pleasure. Some songs are better then others, but there's not a band card in the mix. The single "Fell in Love with a Girl" is a classic, as is "I Think I smell a Rat". "Now Mary", "Expecting" and "Offend in Every Way" are also hard rocking highlights.
Maybe my favorite is the offbeat, spooky "The Union Forever". Starting with a whisper ("You said the union forever"), it continues into a headlong punk screamer, where Jack White releases his frustration on the world "but that was UN---TRUE girl! that was UN-TRUE!!!")
From first to last, The White Stripes produced a fine album. They didn't save Rock'n'Roll - it doesn't need saving. But the White Stripes continue a great tradition, and make amazing music. Enjoy.

UCLA Senior
Has good leg strength and range to kick from beyond 50 yards. Makes practically everything inside 45 with relative ease. Seems to do a good job adjusting for wind, showing potential to kick in the elements and still have the range to kick the long ball.
Will struggle at times with longer kicks and his accuracy. Will put too much air at times on his longer kicks that tend to hang up and stray off target.
Forbath was a very consistent and accurate kicker over his career at UCLA, connecting on 84.2% of his 101 career attempts. He made 39 straight field goals inside 50 yards between his sophomore and senior year. His production dipped as a senior, because he had a bit more inconstency kicking in the 40-49 yard range, making only 6 of 11 there after going 10 of 11 the previous two years combined. But under 40, he was supremely accurate only missing 4 out of 58 attempts in his career, without a miss his last two years. Had a career long of 54 as a freshman, and made 10 of 13 from over 50 yards throughout his career. Hit at least two game-winners during his career, including a 51-yarder as a senior. Did not handle kickoffs, with only 7 attempts there.
Forbath has the leg strength and accuracy to be a productive NFL kicker. His range approaches 55 yards, although I'm not convinced he'll be as money from beyond 45 yards as he was throughout most of his college career. But as he hones his craft, he should be a guy that is very consistent inside 45 yards and hits most of his kicks from beyond. The main issue with him going forward is whether or not he is going to be a bonafide clutch kicker. But as usual, that is something that develops over the course of a kicker's career and inconsistency in that realm plagues young kickers. His lack of experience as a kickoff specialist hurts him as he'll probably be mediocre there at the next level, since he had only marginal production there the few times he did that at UCLA. So a team that has a punter that can handle those duties will be the best fit for him, or at least playing on a team that is willing to carry a third kicker as a kickoff specialist. There are only four teams like that in the league: Atlanta, Indianapolis, New Orleans, and Carolina, all of whom have aging or inconsistent field goal kickers, which gives him a chance. It's not that he's incapable of kicking off, it's just that he has shown little to date to suggest he'll be good enough there to hold that job for more than a couple of seasons, and eventually a team is going to have to find another kickoff specialist if they don't want to have bad special teams.
Forbath could work well in Atlanta. He's not going to be as consistent or reliable as Bryant is right away, but has the potential to be a very good, accurate kicker inside the dome. The presence of Koenen as the team's kickoff specialist means that his inability on kickoffs is not a major negative with him going forward. If the Falcons chose not to keep Bryant this off-season, then a guy like Forbath is a good young option going forward that could be a fixture as a kicker in Atlanta for years to come.
If a team already has a kickoff specialist in place, then Forbath is worth a draft pick potentially as high as the fifth or sixth round. If not, then he's a good enough field goal guy to merit a seventh round pick.

Keep seeing CA plated 450X's

After 2004, some KTM's were still getting plates from dealer even though they weren't eligible for them. I had a friend that owned a KTM dealership that was doing it. The DMV computers were programmed to deny plates to the big Japanese manufacturers but for some reason (quite probably due to the reason stated below) KTM's still got plates. However, as has been mentioned in previous threads in this West forum, DMV started pulling those plates. I kind of lost touch with the issue and haven't kept up with the latest developments.
Here's the form that must be filed out:
There are "none" boxes which can be checked under items 6 and 8, and it's possible it will go through DMV with the "none" boxes checked. DO NOT remove the labels as that is the same as removing/altering the VIN and will possibly subject you to criminal prosecution and/or impounding the vehicle. I'm just pointing out that no labels is not an absolute deal killer. My recommendation is to go through the process truthfully and hope for the best.

The answer you got could very well have been referring to later models that are CARB certified for hiway licensure.
KTM does not state on their MSO (manufacturers statement of origin) that the bike is 'offroad use only' or 'competition use only' so that helps. But those were not hiway bikes and on a new title application they are required to do a vin check, specifically looking for a 50-state EPA sticker saying it conforms to federal hiway standards. The inspector will ask you where this sticker is. They have to sign the VIN Check form that it has it on there, enter their badge number and contact phone number. This is what confuses some (Larry) on "going by the VIN." The VIN has a year of manufacture coded into it, and 2004 KTM EXC's are not CARB legal for hiway use. And yes, the cutoff was 2004 for getting non-hiway motorcycles plated. It also happened that there were no newer bikes that year (2004) so that's where the year cutoff moniker comes from.
You will also need a lighting inspection certificate and sign an affidavit that the bike meets hiway regs for safety equipment. However they do not check for this equipment, you sign that it has it. Some bike shops can provide this for you - I got one done without them even looking at it for $50.
Good luck! Jerry Jahn got his, maybe you will too.

Have you seen the new billboard at the Lincoln Tunnel? The American Atheists, a national atheist organization, have put up a sign that features a typical Christmas silhouette of wise men on camels approaching a manger, and the words read "You Know it's a Myth, This Season, Celebrate Reason!"
The Atheists say they want their point of view to be seen by many people during this Christmas season, and, certainly, in its location at the Lincoln Tunnel, it will. David Silverman, the President of the American Atheists, said the billboard served two purposes. One is to get people who do not believe in religious rituals but practice them anyway to "come out". The other is a somewhat reactionary response. He says, "Every year, atheists get blamed for having a war on Christmas, even if we don't do anything," he said. "This year, we decided to give the religious right a taste of what war on Christmas looks like."
I'm Catholic, and I celebrate Christmas, and I completely respect and defend the right of the atheists to post their viewpoint on a billboard. This is America, where we have freedom of speech, and separation of church and state. And frankly, no matter how religious you are, when you've heard "Jingle Bell Rock" on the radio 60 times before December 4, it's easy to feel a bit assaulted.
It's not that atheists don't believe in a Christian God, they don't believe in ANY God. That's why I can't wait to see their other billboards that dispel the myths of other religions. This week begins Hanukkah. Will they put up a billboard somewhere saying "Be Reasonable — Why Light all Those Candles When You Can Just Turn on a Light?
I don't recall seeing any billboards during the month of the Muslim holiday Ramadan, but maybe I missed it. Was it something like "Fasting? Really? Is that Reasonable?" Perhaps the atheists have a message for the Islamic extremists that they will post ..."Is It Reasonable to Commit Violence in the Name of Someone That Doesn't Exist?"
During the Hindu Festival of Dussehra, we might be treated to a billboard of this type: "A Cow is Just a Cow. Be Reasonable."
Americans love differing viewpoints, and we love equal opportunity. If the message is that it's OK not to believe in God, then that message would be for ALL believers, not just a select few.
That seems reasonable to me.

This is a wonderful lip balm! It goes on very smooth and is super moisturizing and long-lasting. The taste is great too! I will definitely buy this one again. It is a new favorite lip balm, and I have tried a ton of natural lip balms over the years. So far I am impressed with the tube. I just got it a few weeks ago, and am hoping it will work well as I get towards the end and have to squeeze the balm out from the bottom. A minor benefit is that I can set it on my bedside table and it doesn't roll around like a plastic tube would.
very effective

The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
Courtney and Sonia discuss their union on Fox 31 News.
On May 1, 2013, Colorado's hard-won civil unions for same-sex couples went into effect. On the evening of April 30, hundreds of couples lined up at court houses and city halls to apply for the licenses. City officials in Denver and elsewhere volunteered to expedite the unions at the earliest possible moment. The achievement of civil unions is the culmination of years of struggle by Colorado's glbtq community.
As Joey Bunch of the Denver Post reports, "Hundreds of Colorado gay and lesbian couples put an official government seal on their relationships in the early hours of Wednesday morning, after the state's civil-unions law took effect."
"Shortly after midnight, whoops and cheers rang off the glassy interior of Denver's Wellington E. Webb Building and then again and again when each new set of 10 numbers flashed on a television monitor near the Clerk and Record's office, summoning the next in line to come apply for a license. With paperwork in hand, the couples returned to the atrium to exchange vows."
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock performed many of the first ceremonies, along with U.S. Representative Diana DeGette, municipal judges, and religious officiants.
On March 12, 2013, the Colorado House of Representatives approved a bill that authorizes civil unions for same-sex couples. The bill, which provides all the rights and responsibilities of marriage, had previously passed the Senate and was promptly signed into law by Governor John Hickenlooper.
The House approved the bill by a margin of 39 to 26, with two Republicans joining 37 Democrats in favor of the legislation. The bill passed the Senate last month on a 21-14 vote, with one Republican joining 20 Democrats in favor of the bill.
In 2012, Colorado Republicans in the state's House of Representatives filibustered a civil unions bill, then in a special legislative session called by Governor Hickenlooper, killed it on procedural grounds despite the fact that there were sufficient votes to pass it. The unethical tactics caused great frustration in the state's glbtq community. However, rather than simply accepting the defeat, activists made civil unions a major issue in the 2012 legislative campaign, and on November 6, 2012, Democrats captured control of both houses of the legislature.
Even more delicious, openly gay Democrat Mark Ferrandino, who was a chief sponsor of the civil unions measure in 2012, was selected as Speaker of the House, replacing Republican Frank McNulty who killed the bill. Ferrandino and his partner were among the couples who applied for a civil union license early on May 1, 2013.
The videos below report on the hundreds of gay men and lesbians who gathered in Denver to celebrate the arrival of civil unions.
In this video from the Denver Post, a number of couples explain what the opportunity to have their relationships recognized means to them.
