Bruce Springsteen: Born To Run Meaning
Born To Run Lyrics
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line
Baby this...
songmaster Jul 6th, 2009 7:09am report
This is the most visceral song about American youth ever written.
Springsteen captures all the hunger and doubt, fear and courage you are swallowed by when you are stepping out into the world for the first time on your own. This is about a time when your own chemicals, burning up inside you, drive you forward with an irresistible force; and while some around you understand, others think you're crazy or reckless; but you just don't know any other way to take the next step.
This is about a time when you can pull a girl up close to you; arms around her; the smell of her hair fills your lungs; the power of her warmth and the touch of her lips sends fire coursing through your veins till you feel like you're going to explode right out of your skin.
This is about a time when you don't understand all the things that make you feel they way they do.
This is the time before you have your career job and your own family. When responsibility to your wife and kids pours some water on that fire because you just can't live crazy like that anymore. It's not a bad thing: it's just the passage of time.
Now, for me, it's been quite a few years. But anytime I want to go back and feel those feelings again I can just put on Born to Run, crank it up and feel the hot tears burning down my cheeks.

"In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American Dream":
The American Dream is to own a house; to have a place of your own, a place where you belong. But, the price of that dream is usually a 30-year mortgage, tying you to a place, and a job, and so this dream is somewhat compromised - trading in the freedom of youth for a lifetime of conformity and repetition for pursuit of that "dream".
"Sprung from cages on Highway 9":
This line must have taken him a while to think up. It changes the whole meaning of the first verse of the song. As opposed to something like "burning rubber down highway 9", it really underscores that cruising/street racing is the one last vestige of freedom, the one place they can break the rules and feel like individuals rather than part of the labor force. Out there, in their "chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected" machines, they are "sprung" from their working class prisons.
Later on in the song, he exposes this activity as an illusion of freedom with the line "hemi-powered drones". The cars are drones, just like the people are - cruising up and down the boulevard, weekend after weekend, it's the same routine and repetition of their daily lives.
"Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide."
A metaphor for being trapped. Everyone hops in their cars and goes cruising, but they aren't really going anywhere, just expressing subconsciously their urge to get out, and wherever they go, they see people just like themselves, trapped just like they are.

This is what rock-n-roll is all about: redemption, hope of something better, maybe not here, but maybe down the road.
"The highways jammed with broken heros...", "This town rips the bones off your back, its a deathtrape, a suicide rap..." - but "someday baby, I don't know when...we'll get to that place we really want to go..". It is a song about exeriencing what life has to give us, "I want to know if love is wild, I want to know if love is real". For the younger Springsteen (circa late 1970s), love, hope, redemption is down the road, you just have to take that risk, to leave the safely of familar surroundings to find your peace: "I'm just a scared and lonely rider, but..." Most of Springsteen's songs revolve around these ideals, but no other song really brings it out like Born to Run. I'd say it is the definitive Springsteen song.

"Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims and strap your hands across my engines"
This is a metaphor. The male hero of the song wants to have sex with Wendy, a girl he likes. It's about lust, the physical attraction he feels for her.
And yes, it's about love also, from a male perspective.
It's always up to Wendy what happens next. She can either sing "Hit the Road, Jack"or "Johnny Angel" in response.
A nice pop song would be a female rock star's musical response to "Born to Run".
I'm surprised that hasen't been done yet in the musical world. Of course, women do take their time with such things.
I speak from experience. After getting out of a bad relationship that lasted for decades, I recently sent "Thunder Road" and "Born to Run" in an email to a woman I'm interested in. I haven't heard "Hit the Road Jack",but I'm still waiting for a reply.

I agree with whoever said it is about Street Racing, but it is using racing as a metaphor for escaping from jersey and young love.
gordy13 Oct 16th, 2008 10:22pm report
Pisser of a song even 35 years later still makes me and the rest of Australia jump. Don't think it's about racing though, but definitely refers to bikes.."chrome wheeled, fuel injected....wrap your legs round these velvet rims and strap your hands across my engines...bit hard to do that to a muscle car. Anyhow it's pure rock and roll, escapism, dreams and searching for them no one does or has done it better than Bruce.. Thanks Boss
Surfer_Coyote Oct 12th, 2007 10:05am report
Just like all Springsteen songs, it's about getting the hell outta Jersey!!
anonymous Nov 20th, 2006 11:12pm report
Born to run is the state song of New Jersey, even though it's about getting out of the "godforsaken" town. LOL
anonymous Oct 22nd, 2006 10:10pm report
Accordingly to the man who wrote the song - it is about freedom.
tramps_like_us Mar 3rd, 2006 3:42pm report
Actually this song isn't about racing, if you were in Asbury Park N.J., in the early 70's it's about the strip in Asbury, Ocean Ave was called the circut( because everybody rode up and down showing off their cars, the palace(beyond the palace heavy powered drones scream down the boulevard) was an amusement park building that was recently torn down, Bruce was pretty much longing to get back to his roots in Jersey and the days when he palyed the Stone Pony
vundeis Oct 17th, 2005 10:20pm report
Ok, first of all, it's not about bikers. Bikers don't have hemis, you retards. Hemi's are the 426 cubic inch engine with a hemispherical combustion chamber, pushing out 425 horse power. The song is about going home, Bruce said it himself in 1988. In a concert of which I have seen the tape, he says it is about two kids that are trying to get back home. They are running towards whatever home is. It is not a love song, nor a running away song, and it has nothing to do with bikers, it's all muscle cars. They are racing.

Your Questions About Windows Xp Laptops Uk
Mandy asks…
Windows XP/Linux expert needed!?
Hello to all!
I'm running windows XP home version on my laptop. I've completly run it into the ground with too many programmes and downloads etc. Now the system won't run any CD's/DVD's and does'nt regognise the CD/DVD driver and i can't roll back the driver in devices cus basically the whole PC is just…….f**ked!
I've done loads of system restores, driver roll backs and systems recoveries but it's just not having any of it! Now i just want to re-intsall WIndows and start again. The only problem is that i can't find the original XP cd. Or does anyone recommend installing Linux? I've heard it's free – will it run my CD/DVD drive? Will it run other popular programmes? I don't really care if i loose the original programmes as i can re-install them all if Linux will let me.
Can anyone help/advise? I just want my laptop working again. I can't afford to buy a new one cus everybody says theres a global reccession on the go and we all have to save our pennies!
a) Can i fix it?
b) How do i do it?
c) Is it worth it?
Many thanks, Craig, Worcester, UK.
Well Craig I am glad you stated where you are,
Worcestershire has it own Linux user group all the better for you.. You are on the right track, Linux will do everything you want it to do and more besides, it puts windows to shame
You need to download any of the 2009 versions of Linux, the most popular one is Ubuntu followed by Mandriva, Opensuse. Fedora, Debian, all with two different types desktops,GUI's KDE and Gnome, Gnome being the easier of the two
Linux is made for the laptops you will have no problems with hardware drivers, if your system as 128mb of ram then fine anything over is better still, with a 20GB hard drive again anything bigger the better, the software for Linux is free. Anything software wise for windows Linux has as two of

Mark asks…
Can anyone help me with fixing windows XP and connecting it to WIFI?
I had an old laptop that was running windows vista but its cpu couldn't cope with vista and it didi not have enough ram. I purchased a new one and decided to install windows XP so i could give it to my younger cousin. The installation went fine, however i can not figure out how to connect it to Sky wifi, as there is no simple way like on vista or Windows 7.
First can anyone help me with that?
Secondly, it can not play cd's as windows media player says there is no sound device. When vista was installed its speakers worked fine and it played cd's. There IS a sound card installed
Can you answer these 2 questions about the wifi and sound?
Also the USB ports don't work for some reason, but that also happened before I installed XP.I don't think its the hardware though.
This is the computer spec, except it has 2G of ram as I upgraded it:
This is the version of XP I used with service pack 3:
First of all,
You shouldn't be posting what pirated copy of Windows XP you have used.
Secondly, You are most likely missing drivers for all your devices. You can check that by going into device manager. To go into device manage do the following:
Right click on my computer–>click on properties–>click on the hardware tab–>click on device Manager.
When there check out all the devices that have either an exclamation mark or a question mark. To find the drivers for each device you need to go here:
Moreover to find audio drivers go here:
To get Wireless drivers go here:
To Manage wireless client go here:
To get USB drivers please run the utility "Everest ultimate" which will tell you your chipset and from there you can go download the drivers on intel's website.
Hope this helps
Jenny asks…
Windows XP 64bit will run on this system, but my questions are:
Why would you want 64bit?
64bit is for systems that run 4 or more GB of RAM, the problem with 64bit is that the software you want to run has to be 64bit. This problem can cause a lot of driver / software problems. 32bit does not have these problems but it will only use 3GB of your systems RAM.
Why do you want XP 64bit when Windows 7 is in the package?
Windows 7 is much more stable and you can see the difference in speed.
Last, i'm not sure the system is capable of downgrade. You might want to ask that before you buy it. Not every system is down gradable.
Mary asks…
i have a windows vista laptop, i caint find any sims games for windows vista, help?
i live in the uk, and i really want the sims life stories because it is laptop friendly, but ive looked everyware, and i caint seem to find one i do have a PC which is windows XP but if that gets ruined ill get really shouted at. please please help.

xp is nothing more then windows nt 5.1 and vista is nothing more then nt 6.0
i would not go so far as saying that vista is actually better ( 80% of the windows users are sticking with xp or lower) but most games wil work under vista
Lizzie asks…
how to set up windows live email address on windows live mail?
I am trying to set up a windowslive.co.uk email address on windows live mail. I have got this set up on my laptop which is running Windows XP. I cannot get the same email address to work on the desktop which is running Windows Vista.
I have copied the settings exactly as they are on the laptop but am not able to get the email address to work on the desktop.
In the properties setting for the account under general I have got my name then full email address, in servers I have got incoming server as pop3.live.com outgoing is smtp.live.com, I then got email user name which is the first part of the email address then password.
The out going mail is 25 and got the box checked that says the server requires a secure connection (SSL) The incoming mail is 995 I have checked the box for server requires a secure connection.
This is the set up the same as the XP laptop but I am not able to get the email address to work on the desktop.
All help will be appreciated.
To set up a POP3 configuration for one account on two computers, you need to remember to select the option to "Leave a copy of messages on the server" on BOTH computers. Otherwise when an email comes through, only one computer will download it and delete it from the server before the other computer tries to do the same.

|The Overland Campaign is a favorite of mine. However after 2 trips I still have not made it to North Anna. I spend way to much time hiking around Spotsylvania. I also recommend the Penisula/Seven Days tour. These areas are a true treasure around Richmond, Gaines Mill being my personal favorite site. If you utilize the Civil War Trails map you get a great perspective on the entire campaign.
As for me I plan on my ususal 3 trips to Gettysburg, one just to bike the battlefield and another a work day for the FNPG. Also in fall I plan to do Antietam/Harper's Ferry. Never been to Harper's Ferry but it looks like there are plenty of hiking trails in the area. (I don't care for auto touring. I try to hike or bike as much of the battlefieds as I can)
Someday before I die I wll make it to the Western Theater.

David's Last Days
1Now King David had become old, advanced in years,#Literally "he went in the days" and they covered him with garments, but he was not warm. 2His servants said to him, "Let them search for a young virgin for my lord the king, and let her stand before the king. Let her be of use for him, and let her lie in your lap that my lord the king may be warm." 3So they sought a beautiful young woman in all the territory of Israel, and they found Abishag the Shunnamite and brought her to the king. 4Now the young woman was very beautiful; she was of use for the king, and she served him, but the king did not have sexual relations with her.#Literally "know her"
Adonijah Seeks David's Throne
5Now Adonijah the son of Haggith was exalting himself, saying, "I will be king," so he prepared for himself a chariot and horsemen and fifty men running before him. 6His father did not rebuke him at any time#Literally "from his days" by saying, "Why did you do so?" Now he was also very handsome of appearance; she had borne him after Absalom.#"She" refers to Haggith bearing Adonijah; Absalom's mother was Maacah 7He conferred#Literally "And there were his words" with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they supported Adonijah.#Literally "they helped after Adonijah" 8But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty warriors were David's; they were not with Adonijah.
9And Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened animals near the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En Rogel. He invited all of his brothers, the sons of the king, and all the men of Judah, the servants of the king. 10But he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the mighty warriors or Solomon his brother.
Solomon's Intercessors
11Then Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, "Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, but our lord David does not know? 12So then, come, let me advise you please, that you may save#Literally "and save" your life and the life of your son, Solomon. 13Come, go to King David and say to him, 'Have you not, my lord the king, sworn to your servant, "Surely Solomon your son shall become king after me. And he will sit on my throne"? But why is Adonijah king?' 14While you are still there speaking with the king, I will enter after you, and I will confirm your words."#Literally "I will make full your words"
15So Bathsheba went to the king in the private room. Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunnamite was attending the king. 16Bathsheba knelt and bowed down before the king, and the king asked, "What do you want?"#Literally "What is for you" 17She said to him, "My lord, you swore by Yahweh your God to your servant, 'Solomon your son surely shall become king after me, and he will sit upon my throne!' 18But now, look! Adonijah has become king! And now, my lord the king, you do not know! 19He has sacrificed oxen and sheep and fattened animals in abundance,#Literally "as far as the many" and he has invited all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, Joab the commander of the army, but Solomon your servant he did not invite. 20But as for you, my lord the king, the eyes of all of Israel are on you, to tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him. 21It shall be that when my lord the king sleeps with his ancestors,#Or "fathers" I and my son Solomon will be considered as sinners."
22While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in. 23They told the king, "Nathan the prophet is here." He came into the presence of the king and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground. 24Nathan said, "My lord the king, have you said, 'Adonijah shall be king after me and he shall sit on my throne'?
25"For he went down today and sacrificed oxen, sheep, and fattened animals in abundance.#Literally "as far as the many" He invited all the sons of the king, the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest, and look, they are eating and drinking before him. They have also said, "Long live King Adonijah! 26But me, your servant, Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Solomon your servant he did not invite. 27If it was from my lord the king that this thing has happened, then all is well, but if not, you must let your servants know who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him." 28Then King David answered and said, "Summon Bathsheba for me." Then she came before the king and stood in his presence.#Following the corrected LXX and Vulgate 29Then the king swore and said, "As Yahweh lives,#Literally "The life of Yahweh" who has saved my life from all trouble, 30surely as I swore to you by Yahweh the God of Israel, saying, 'Solomon your son shall surely be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place,' surely I shall do so this very day." 31Then Bathsheba knelt with her face to the ground and did obeisance to the king, and she said, "May my lord, King David, live forever."
Solomon Is Crowned King
32Then King David said, "Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada," and they came before the king. 33The king said to them, "Take with you all the servants of your lord, and let them make Solomon my son ride on my mule, and bring him down to Gihon. 34Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel. Blow on the trumpet and say, 'Long live King Solomon!' 35Then you shall go up after him, and let him come and sit on my throne; he shall be king in my place. I have appointed him to be leader over Israel and Judah." 36Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, "Amen! So may Yahweh, the God of my lord the king, confirm it! 37As Yahweh was with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David." 38Then Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites, and the Pelethites went down, and they let Solomon ride on the mule of King David, and they brought him to Gihon. 39Then Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tent, and he anointed Solomon. They blew on the trumpet, and all the people said, "Long live King Solomon!" 40All the people went up after him, and the people were playing on the flutes and rejoicing with great joy, and the earth shook with their noise.
Adonijah's Response to the Coronation of Solomon
41And Adonijah and all the invited guests who were with him heard it. Now they were finished eating when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet and said, "Why is there such a noise in the city?"#Literally "Why is the sound of the city noisy?" 42While he was still speaking, suddenly Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came. Adonijah said, "Come, for you are a man of valor, and you bring good news." 43Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, "But our lord King David has made Solomon king! 44He sent Zadok the priest with the king, and Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites, and the Pelethites; they made him ride on the king's mule. 45Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed him as king at Gihon, and they have gone up from there rejoicing. The city has gone wild; this is the sound which you heard. 46And also, Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom! 47The servants of the king also came to congratulate our lord King David, saying, 'Your God has made the name of Solomon better than your name and his throne greater than your throne!' So the king worshiped on the bed. 48What is more, the king said, 'May Yahweh the God of Israel be blessed, who has given this day one sitting on my throne, and my eyes are seeing it!' "
49Then all the invited guests who were for Adonijah trembled and got up and went, each on his way. 50Adonijah was afraid because of Solomon, and he got up and went and grasped the horns of the altar. 51Solomon was told, "Look, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, and he has grasped the horns of the altar, saying, 'Let King Solomon swear to me first#Literally "as the day" that he will surely not kill his servant with the sword!' " 52Solomon said, "If he is a son of noble character, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, but if evil is found in him, then he will die." 53Then King Solomon sent and brought him down from upon the altar. He came and did obeisance to King Solomon. Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."

A Kelso funeral home will be on probation for one year and must pay a $12,500 fine after Washington state investigators concluded its funeral home employee mixed up two men's bodies, which ended with one man mistakenly cremated and the second man in the casket of the first man's funeral.
Firefighters extinguished a truck fire near a nursing home early Monday morning.
A Cowlitz County Humane Society official says a Longview, Wash., teen who wanted to try being an outdoorsman has confessed to killing and skinning a family's pet goat.
A standoff in Longview is over. No one got hurt.
A Portland woman arrested in a wrong-way crash that killed one man and injured seven other people in Longview posted bail after a brief court hearing Monday.
A Longview man who fatally shot his uncle in 2012 because he was upset over his mother's death and obsessed with the "Mayan prophecy" the world would end has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
It was 10 seconds of hell for Frank Arce, who should've died after he went through a wood chipper.
A man who is suing a Washington state dementia-care home over the freezing death of his wife has asked the court to expedite testimony.
The Cowlitz coroner's office says an 88-year-old Longview woman froze to death outside her retirement home last week.
Two children were taken to a hospital Tuesday morning after they were hit by a car while they were trying to get on a school bus, according to the Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office.
Two weeks in jail haven't compelled a Longview woman to turn over the pit bull that bit a young boy.
Olivia Marie Smith's parents, Dawn Nelson and Eric Smith, said they had never even heard of bacterial meningitis until their daughter was diagnosed last week. Olivia died on Sunday night.
A Longview driver who struck and killed a pedestrian last year has been sentenced to 30 days in jail.
"I just don't feel like that's him there." That's Helen Petitclerc talking about the ashes she has inside an urn - ashes that may or may not be that of her late husband, Robert.
Some call it a small town Cinderella story - a mystery man walks out of a Longview business without his slippers and now the business owner is taking extra steps to reunite a customer with his shoes.

West Seattle Whale Watch: Orca photos, round 1October 8, 2012 at 8:32 pm | In Seen at sea, West Seattle news, Wildlife | 10 Comments
First of two rounds of orca photos tonight, as they put on a show right up till (and past) sunset – these photos are contributed by WSB'ers. Top photo with the kayaker is courtesy of Mike Scharer. Next, by Gary Jones:
Also by Gary, this view with Alki Point Lighthouse in the foreground:
With the setting sun, next one is from David DeSiga:
ADDED 9:23 PM: Another Gary Jones photo with a breaching orca:
By all accounts, these are "southern residents" – the orcas that spend most of the time between the San Juans and south Puget Sound. (added) And here's a view from David Hutchinson at Constellation Park south of Alki Point:
2nd round of photos coming up.

what a gift!!!!!

Fantastic! Saw them out by Blake Is. from Lincoln Park at dusk — thanks so much for the photos, WSB.
Comment by anon — 9:14 pm October 8, 2012 #
You'd think after 20 years of frequenting Alki, I'd actually ever see these beautiful Orcas. I was even there today at lunchtime. I guess timing is everything. Thank you for the photographic evidence that this really does happen! Which reminds me that someone on Capitol Hill snapped pics of the Northern Lights last night…
Comment by Charlie — 10:24 pm October 8, 2012 #
… and WSB contributing photojournalist Nick Adams JUST got the Northern Lights from Alki … putting up that photo before we put up his whales-and-whale-watching photos later … then I just might sneak out of here and go look for myself. Stand by …
So beautiful, but frustrating to miss it yet again. I almost went to Alki tonight too. Any way to get a text to alert me they are around? I'd beeline to the beach if I knew.
Comment by D-Mom — 10:40 pm October 8, 2012 #
I bee-lined to the beach after I saw the post with pictures from Alki. Unfortunately, where the lights had been seen only appeared to me as a faint extension of the glow of the city lights in the sky. I did see the Big Dipper, so there was that! Maybe it's time to book a trip with Icelandair. ;)
Comment by Charlie — 12:19 am October 9, 2012 #
I was watching when Mike took the photo of the whale by the Kayaker. Mike, thanks for letting me use your binoculars.
Comment by mz — 6:40 am October 9, 2012 #
It was amazing! Thanks for letting us know.
Comment by J — 9:57 am October 9, 2012 #
We were coming back from Victoria on the Clipper on Monday afternoon and just as I was wondering to myself if the noise from the boat would bother whales, my husband looked up and saw an orca swimming right off the east side of the boat! Then, everyone watched as it breached several more times before we had passed by. Another passenger said she thought the whale was chasing a harbor seal. It was the perfect ending to a great trip!
Sorry, comment time is over.

Police Minister Bob Cameron must explain whether staff shortages contributed to police reportedly taking about 25 minutes to respond when a train commuter was allegedly threatened by a knife-wielding teenager yesterday, Shadow Minister for Police and Leader of The Nationals Peter Ryan said today.
"It is an extremely serious matter if acute police shortages forced this commuter to
single-handedly restrain his alleged attacker by the wrist for a prolonged period of time before help arrived," Mr Ryan said.
A teenager has been charged with assault and carrying a prohibited weapon after a commuter was threatened with a knife yesterday morning after asking a teenager to remove his feet from a seat.
Fellow commuters say the victim was also repeatedly kicked in the back by another passenger while he held his alleged attacker's wrist.
"If police took a further 25 minutes to respond to the incident once the train arrived at Keon Park train station, that is unacceptable," Mr Ryan said.
"The increasing frequency of violent assaults, robberies and bashings on trains and at train stations in Melbourne and throughout regional Victoria is alarming.
"Commuters should be able to travel on public transport without fearing for their own safety, but chronic police understaffing has made that virtually impossible."
Mr Ryan said the Brumby Government had failed in its duty of care, leaving Victorians exposed to increasing violence.
"John Brumby's promise to make Victoria safer lacks credibility without additional police and resources to tackle spiralling violent crime," Mr Ryan said.
"The Coalition will put 100 more Transit Safety Division police on the network around the clock to protect Victorian commuters from violent crime.
"Police do a mighty job with the resources they have available, but they need to be properly supported by the government and at the moment that is simply not happening.
"John Brumby and Police Minister Bob Cameron will continue to jeopardise the safety of Victorians as long as they fail to recruit more frontline police to address rising crime levels," Mr Ryan said.

Hidden gender to crack man's worldComment on this story
DO YOU remember the film Mrs Doubtfire? It was a Robin Williams classic and he played an old nanny so that he could see his kids after his divorce. What was amazing was how his kids warmed to him even though they didn't know he was their father disguised as a woman.
Another classic of men playing women is White Chicks – Shawn and Marlon Wayans played white girls. Again, it was amazing how their "girlfriends" treated them when they thought the two were women, but things changed when the truth came out.
Whether we like to admit it or not, we judge each other based on several things, including gender. There are several stereotypes that come with that. There are arenas that only men can apparently excel in and women are said to have other skills. In fact, there is a thriving local insurance company that only offers services to women. Its adverts show men as irresponsible and therefore higher risk. That could be true in general, but the reality is there are irresponsible women and very responsible men, too.
Enter Stick and Stones, the new SABC1 show which sees a woman, Palesa (Talitha Ndima) who is unemployed and at the end of her professional road. She lives with her grandmother in a shack and it takes a freak accident that kills her neighbour to get Palesa to think of moving to safer accommodation.
The first place she tries to get a job is at a construction company, but she is told
manual labour is not for women. So Palesa pulls a reverse Mrs Doubtfire, turns herself into a man and, voilà, she gets the job!
"Men and women will never be equal in practice because of different cultural, religious and political interpretations. On paper, yes, but not practical," said Neo Matsunyane, one of the directors of the show.
"Some practices don't allow women to be at the helm – whether founded in truth and/or fallacy, some communities practice sexual segregation as a norm. The women are liberated in a work environment, but when they get home, the sexist rules haven't changed," he said.
Although the show may have some light-hearted parts here and there, it is Matsunyane's hope that South Africans see the bigger picture of what Sticks and Stones is trying to show.
"I hope they take the challenges women face seriously and support initiatives that help propel women to positions of equality and respect," said Matsunyane.
Litha Booi who plays Lwazi, a privileged boy, agrees. He says there has to be a shift in how gender is seen at work and in society.
"In the 21st century I believe that in business, roles have no gender bias. We have female engineers as well as mechanics, we have males who are chefs as well as interior designers. What matters most is how passionate you are because whatever career you choose you'll be faced with many challenges and it's the passion and determination which will propel you towards your success," he said.
For him, since it is supposedly a "man's world", men have a huge role to play to change the perceptions of how women should be treated.
"As men we should constantly respect and help women in whatever field they find themselves as they bring different strengths and qualities to whatever they do. I think it's unnecessary for men to put down women who want to follow career paths which, back in the day, were deemed to be for men," said Booi.
• Sticks and Stones airs every Wednesday at 8.30pm on SABC1.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency plans to develop a fiber-optic-equivalent communications backbone on a radio frequency carrier that can be deployed worldwide to give U.S. military forces high-speed network connections anywhere they are deployed around the globe, the agency said Dec. 14.
DARPA's 100-gigabits per second RF Backbone program, known as 100G, will require a data link capable of achieving a range greater than 200 kilometers between airborne assets and a range greater than 100 kilometers between an airborne asset (at 60,000 feet) and the ground, the agency said.
The 100G goal envisioned would meet the weight and power metrics of the Common Data Link (CDL) deployed by U.S. forces today for high-capacity data streaming from platforms, DARPA said.
Cloud cover poses a major challenge to providing 100 gigabits/sec from an airborne platform, which makes it impractical to try to furnish it via free-space optical links, DARPA said. For that reason, RF remains the only viable option. Technical advances in modulation of millimeter-wave frequencies have made it possible to achieve the 100G program goals.
The agency believes telecommunications system providers and the defense communications tech base can work together to achieve the 100G goals. DARPA plans to host a Proposers' Day on Jan. 9, 2013, in Arlington, Va.

It might be worth considering use of the infrared spectrum for free-space-optics options. This is what the Spitzer Space Telescope has been using to peer through intergalactic "clouds" of gas and dust. The frequency of visible light allows it to be refracted by moisture and dust, whereas lower frequency bands on the EM spectrum do not suffer as much from this phenomenon. It is also easier to jam RF signals than higher frequency bands.

Why do so many people rag on "Dear doctor"
View Single Post
July 10 2013, 05:08 PM
Re: Why do so many people rag on "Dear doctor"
The problem is that there are two totally different visions of the Prime Directive representing opposing philosophies. The original PD as seen in TOS was a rejection of colonialism, a recognition of the idea that just having superior technology does not make the Federation more qualified to understand another culture's needs than the culture itself, and that if you attempt to impose solutions on a culture from without, you'll inevitably do more harm than good. It's about humility, recognizing the danger of good intentions and the right of other cultures to make their own choices and learn from their own mistakes, rather than fall victim to yours.
But the 24th-century PD seen in "Pen Pals" and "Homeward" is just the opposite. It's lost sight of that humility and turned into "Those primitive cultures are too fragile to understand our knowledge, so we smarter beings are entitled to decide their fate for them even if it destroys them." It's fallen right back into the arrogance of assuming that less advanced societies have no agency, that we have the right to make their choices for them without giving them a say. The only difference is that we're deciding not to intervene under any circumstances rather than deciding to force our ways upon them. But in both cases, it's motivated by the same arrogance, the same belief in our superior right to decide on their behalf.

Original paintings adorn olive coloured walls, heightened by a bamboo ceiling and iron candelabras.
The roaring fireplace adds warmth and homely ambiance during winter and the outdoor leafy setting embraces summer and spring.
The menu touches upon Asian specialties, Mediterranean dishes, Thai and South African fusion.
Think lamb shank and chicken pie, tom yum soup and Moroccan couscous salad.
A standard wine list and boutique wines compliment the flavours and ambiance at this delightful eatery in Mowbray.

Voice Carrier
A phone system that will grow as your business grows
The Voice Carrier system is extremely scalable for all customers, but we focus on small to medium businesses. Our phone services can be started with as little as three phones and grow up to 750 phones, with no changes at the customer site, and no additional requirements except to ensure there are enough outgoing / incoming lines for all of the calls to operate. Additional lines can be ordered with one phone call to Voice Carrier, or they can be ordered on-line. In addition, customers can have as many phone numbers as they like, independent from the number of lines they need to make calls. A business can have more phone numbers pointing to their business than phones on the system, and still only pay Voice Carrier for the amount of lines needed for calling.
As the customer grows, the Voice Carrier system will scale. Since our system is online, in the Internet cloud, there is no need for any equipment on the customer site other than a phone. A business can have as many sites as it needs; we have eliminated the need for phone numbers and lines to be associated. A company only needs to get the number of lines necessary to handle all of the calls that would take place simultaneously on the system. We can provide all the company sites with local phone numbers, without additional line charges. Locations can be added to the system in a matter of days, from the time of order to the time the employee's phone is ringing.
In addition to the ability to provide up to 750 phones on one system, Voice Carrier can blend multiple systems together to allow for very large installations. This is not a focus of the company, but has been built in -we did this so our customers could work on their own business and growth, and not have to worry about needing to upgrade or buy a new system because they outgrew the last system they purchased. With Voice Carrier, you never have to worry about your phone system again.

The network's statement is:

Wow — Comcast (owners of NBC) didn't waste any time coming to terms with the United States' political shift to the right! The leading liberal television commentator Keith Olbermann is left in the dust… From the New York Times:
… Read the rest
Keith Olbermann, the top anchor on MSNBC, was suspended on Friday after the channel discovered that he had made campaign contributions to three Democrats.
The MSNBC president, Phil Griffin, issued a statement saying, "I became aware of Keith's political contributions late last night. Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay."
No one at NBC News would speculate about what this might mean for Mr. Olbermann's future, though one NBC executive suggested this was not a step toward firing him.
Politico had reported Friday morning that Mr. Olbermann's contributions were in apparent violation of MSNBC policy.
Mr. Olbermann hosts the most popular program on MSNBC, "Countdown." He worked at MSNBC in the late 1990s and re-joined the channel in 2003.

"Last Friday night, my father asked me to kill him." Keith Olbermann opened his emotional Special Comment on health care Wednesday with the story of his father's six-month-long hospitalization suffering through a colon removal, pneumonia, kidney failure, liver failure, and many infections. After a particularly difficult week, Olbermann said he went into his father's hospital room to find him "thrashing his head back and forth" and mouthing the word "Help." "It was just too much for my father," Olbermann said. "'Stop this,' he mouths. 'Stop, stop, stop.'" Olbermann said he resorted to gallows humor, asking his father, "What, you want me to smother you with a pillow?" And his father responded, mouthing, "Yes, kill me."

Bullying happens to popular teens, too
April 1, 2014
A new University of California, Davis, study suggests that for most adolescents, becoming more popular both increases their risk of getting bullied and worsens the negative consequences of being victimized, perhaps because they feel they have "farther to fall."
"In contrast to stereotypes of wallflowers as the sole targets of peer aggression, adolescents who are relatively popular are also at high risk of harassment, the invisible victims of school-based aggression," said Robert Faris, associate professor of sociology at UC Davis and co-author of the study. Females and physically or socially vulnerable youth are also victimized at particularly high rates, according to the study, but most striking was the prevalence of relatively popular youth among the ranks of the victims.
The study found that the risk of being bullied increases as adolescents climb their school's social ladder — up until they approach the very top, when the risk plummets. The students at the top, approximately the 5 percent most popular kids in school, sit just above the fray, possibly because their extremely high status puts them out of reach of any rivals.
"Casualties of Social Combat: School Networks of Peer Victimization and their Consequences" is published in the latest edition of the American Sociological Review.
The study looked at the social networks of 4,000 youths in three counties in North Carolina. Study subjects from 19 schools, enrolled in grades eight through 10, were asked various questions and asked to name their five closest friends. From this, the authors were able to construct social networks resembling large webs of friendships with a dense hub in the center made up of the most popular students.
The study found victims of harassment suffered psychological, social and academic consequences, and they experienced high levels of anxiety, anger and depression.
"Most of these adverse consequences were worse for high-status targets, because while socially marginal youth are often brutally tormented, a single bullying event may be particularly psychologically and socially damaging for popular students, who feel that they have farther to fall," Faris said.
Co-author of the study is Diane Felmlee, a professor of sociology at Penn State.
More information on Faris and his research on bullying: http://sociology.ucdavis.edu/people/rwfaris.
