Thread: 6 year old boy having erections! Is this normal at 6??
6 year old boy having erections! Is this normal at 6??
My son came running downstairs last night (he was in bed) at about 9pm saying his tail was pointing upwards and wouldn't go down (I had to try not to laught to be honest). He was worried it would stay like this when he went for a wee. Anyway, got him back to bed and he settled down ok. He got up this morning and he said it was like it again. He showed me and it was a proper erection. I just said its normal and not to worry. I didn't know what to say to him to be honest.
I wasn't expecting this at 6 years old (well, almost 7 its his birthday next week). I didn't realise this would happen so young. What is the best way of explaining it to a young boy like that?
J x
It is perfectly normal (ermm i would watch out for him realising he likes touching it, he will notice it feels "nice" and might continue to touch)
I would simply say to him that its nothing to worry about and its just because hes a big boy now.
(children from the age of 2 have been know to masturbate not because they understand just because they know it feels nice so dont be alarmed if he does but tell him that its not for touching because he has a wee out of it so its dirty)
Gosh yes it's normal, even babies and toddlers can have erections. No need to worry, simply ignore.
OMG I had no idea that this could happen so young. I am definately placing an order for a girl next time round lol!!!
I'm surprised you've never seen it happen before! It can happen at 6 days, 6 weeks, 6 months never mind six years! Shows everything is working
Please don't tell him it's not for touching because it's dirty It's not dirty, it's a penis. HIS penis. And he can touch it all he likes (not that you get much choice in the matter ) Asking him only to touch it in private when he's by himself and telling him we don't talk about private things to people not in our family, or our doctor, will be fine I'm sure
DD discovered her nice feelings long before the age of two I have to send her upstairs
I would simply explain that what is happening is normal and if he did start touching himself I would talk to him about why he likes to do it etc and then explain that we cant touch ourselves in public that way (so you can avoid embarassing incidents in public)
This used to happen all the time when my son was 3, but he was proud of it and used to show EVERYONE It was quite embarrassing, but then even worse, he realised that it felt nice to play with it lol. He eventually stopped, but i never used to make a fuss of it. I didn't really know what to do tbh.
Re: the touching - I have told my 8 year old that it's fine to touch but he must do it privately as it's a private thing. I would never tell a child masturbating was wrong!
Thanks for the replies. I honestly thought that he would be older when this happened (Gosh I have led a sheltered life). Even my hubbie thought he was too young and that it shouldn't happen until puberty (he must have a short memory). We have never noticed before and he has never mentioned it.
Advice taken on board. Thanks. I also have a 2.5 yr old daughter and was thinking the other day about how old she will be when we have 'the talk' about periods etc. I was thinking 10 yrs.

Both my boys soldiers would always be standing to attention the moment I took their nappies off. At this stage it's not an erection in the sexual sense it's just what their penis does. My eldest (4.5) always gets one in the night when he needs to go for a wee & struggles to poke it down! It's all normal though, dont worry
My ds had one a few months ago after fiddling with it and he said 'mummy watch this, look what happens it's so annoying', bless him he was so frustrated.
I just let him get on with it and then tell him he must wash his hands cos of the wee wee germs.
Can I just ask what you mums tell their toddlers / young children about periods please? My son knows they exist and knows there is blood but as of yet he hasn't really asked why. He has occasionally asked why I wear 'nappies' (pads) whilst in public toilets. Just wondered what things other mums have said about them.
When I said dirty I didnt mean dirty wrong I meant dirty as in he has to wash his hands after
I obviously didnt explain this clearly enough even though I did mention the urine!!
My son is 3 and has had 'erections' since a tiny baby My nephew also did so i was not shocked
He now fiddles in the bath and i tell him that it is his penis so it's fine when he is alone, or in his room but he should wash his hands after
My nephews' friend's Mum never talked to her Children about anything to do with 'sex' and he had to be circumcised at age 10 because he tore his foreskin and infected the cut, so hygiene very important (Incidently, he thought he was having a period because it was bleeding love him)
He was very proud of his new willy and wanted to show everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!
my little one had his first one at only a couple of days old and i thought something was wrong with him as he was asleep and changing his nappy and it wouldnt go down for ages haha
My son is always messing with his (must be a boy thing!) and making it erect! I get fed up of telling him not to mess with it! Hes 4. he used to get erections when he was a baby, I nearly had a fit when I saw it the first time when I took his nappy off! So I thought it was normal from birth! Think you've done well not to experience it til the age of 6!
OMG you think you have lead a shelterd life - I thought Gay men rubbed the ends of their willies together until I was 25, needless to say when I found out I was wrong I was shocked!!!!!
Nothing to worry about my 3 yo has had them before he was 1!
When he had just turned 3 he discovered a new 'trick' he could move it up and down without touching it, he came tearing into the living room -starkers, shouting that he could make his 'wee man' wave he was so excited bless him, his dad and I were in hysterics! He showed everyone in the family and announced it at his news time in nursery, tey were killing themselves laughing however they had to draw the line when he wanted to show the class well at least he's not body conscious
Sorry, I find this amusing because my brother was the same when he was little lol From the age of like 6 months + my mum always had trouble putting his nappy on after being changed because he had an erection.
But yes, it is normal like everyone else has reassured you and children do masturbate because they're exploring and they come across something that feels pleasurable but obviously not in a pervy dirty way. Although it does sometimes suggest it's time for a talk about what's appropriate and what's not - I had a friend who's little boy was so curious about girls, he would ask his little 'girlfriend' to show him her 'flower' at every play date they had! It was very embarrassing for my friend! hehe
My toddler were totally unphased by it.
I didn't force them to watch, but we all know how a toddler follow us everywhere. I only used pads at the time, I don't think I would have let them watch me use tampons-a bit too much information.
I think part of why I did this is remembering when my older sister started her periods, she know nothing, and she screamed the house down, thinking she was going to die. Our Mum was very secretive about periods so we were totally unprepared for it.
My own daughter is 10, and hasn't yet started her periods, but she knows and accepts what it is all about, it's of no concern at all to her as she has seen how casually I deal with my period.
boys and their willies! dont think they ever grow out of it !
not to worry. My son was 3 when he started to come downstairs in the morning with erections. we went to get it checked out and the doctor said it was completely normal.
My son started getting erections at about 6 months, it's completely normal! x
I also did not realise this could happen!!! I don't know what I am having so I'm pleased to have read this 😳
Aw bless yes it's totally normal ignore it and it go away lol, um don't make comments like err that naughty and so on, it will make him hate his body when he gets older and you don't want that do you. my little brother said it goes bigger when he sees a pretty girl lol scary he was 8 yes old then lol but omg in shock I just laughed lol.
Sounds totally notmal, when my ds was about 3 he told me his willy was hurting him, I hd a look and was shocked to see he had what looked like an erection! Pointing upwards and hard! I thought maybe there was something wrong, so I got my husband to have a look, obviously him knowing more about willies than me lol. He said it was an erection but totally normal and he used to get them when he was younger too. It went away on its own. Since then ds gets them sometimes, usually first thing in the morning though not every morning!
My little boy has been having erections since he was born too. Perfectly normal
He is 4 now and it often happens when I take his night time nappy off in the morning and it gets cold. He says ''my willy is getting big'' and I just say ''oh don't worry about it, it will go down once you have pants on'' and just make light of it.

I have a landrover discovery and it keeps blowing a fuse that I have to change before I can get the car out of park. The fuse is a 15amp fuse.

However, twice now the following day it has fused AGAIN and I have to changed this fuse before I can drive it which is really inconvient and annoying. The fuse that blows is the second row of fuses fourth from the top. HELP.

Then take it back and have them FIX the broken wire by putting either electrcial tape around it or electrical conduit or shrink tubing so it won't rub aagainst it and blow the fuse.
They said they just repositioned the wiring inside the consule and it doesnt say there is a broken wire. All they put on report is they couldnt duplicate the problem. Hence my car is still blowing a fuse and I cant get it out of park until I change it

|Tropico 4 - Achievement Guide
XboxAchievements.com - Every Point Counts
There are 60 achievements with a total of 1250 points.
|Filthy Rich (20 points)
|Make $100 000 for your Swiss Bank account in a mission
This is the final task in Mission 17: 'Forgiveness'.
You can get this earlier:
then progress through the mission. You will get swiss bank money for every new building you purchase. Additionally, you can build a Customs Office and set it to 'Customs Duty Evasion'.
|Tropican Fiesta (50 points)
|Finish a game with overall Happines of your citizens above 70%
Can easily be done in almost all missions, as long as you do not finish the tasks for ending the mission itself. In preparation, you shouldn't have 'Cheapskate' as a trait when altering your avatar. First, try to keep all happinesses high:
Food quality
Just have farms with corn, ranches with cattle and goats, and a few fishermen's wharves. Use the 'Food for the people edict' and build some marketplaces in regions where a lot of people are. It should easily rise over 80% by just doing this.
Housing Quality
At the start of the mission, do not build any houses, but get mines and farms to get a good economy. Buy a foreign office, a ministry, and a minister of foreign affairs. Use the edict 'USSR Development Aid' when you can, else use 'Praise the USSR' and wait for 'USSR Development Aid' to become available.
After using the edict, build only apartment blocks where shacks are and use the 'Free Housing' edict. After progressing further with your campaign scenario, get a power plant and upgrade all apartment blocks with climate control. You should have amassed some money now, keep going and buy mansions and condominiums.
Religion Quality
Buy a lot of churches and cathedrals, the 'Christ the Savior' Landmark, build a High School and College and switch them to Parochial Education. Also, you can use the Papal Visit edict to raise Religion Quality.
Buy all of the entertainment buildings and place them where a lot of people are.
Healthcare Quality
Buy some clinics and hospitals, make sure to switch the type to 'Obstetrics' and 'Gerontology' so you have every kind.
Crime Safety
Build some police stations, armouries, army bases. Usually only a few will get you a very high rating unless you are on the campaign scenario with a lot of crime. Don't forget to make a secret police and to issue wiretapping.
You can put tons of Gardens and Trees all over the place, they're instantly built. I did not care for this when I was attempting the achievement, so maybe you can leave it out as well, as it is quite annoying to put all these things onto the map.
Never issue 'Martial Law', but use the 'Sensitivity Training' edict. Build a Radio Station switched to 'Radio Free Tropico'.
Job Quality
Leave this out for now, we'll come to that later.
Leave this out for now, we'll come to that later.
After you've raised the overall happiness to around 60%, progress through the scenario requirements and amass a lot of money. When you're on the last task of the scenario to finish it, raise all job payments to the maximum of 50. This can be easily done in 3 steps: Select a farm, raise the wage to 50, and then click the right-most icon right next to it 'Set wage for all uneducated workers'. Do the same with a high school and a college, so all groups of workers now have a wage of 50.
After doing this, your money will go WAY down unless your economy is really good. Over the time of 2 years your overall happiness should easily go over 70%. Yes, you need OVER 70%.
It can be done on Mission 6: 'Bickering Factions' where you get lots of rebels. Your last task will be to prepare for a final rebel invasion that gives you the time of 2 years to prepare. Use this to raise all the wages and then just wait it out. The mission will finish after you win the last rebel fight, regardless if you treasury is negative or not.
|Curse of the Llama (10 points)
|Survive 10 disasters
You need to survive 10 disasters in one mission. During the campaign, disasters occur randomly, there is no way to trigger them. If you did not get this achievement during the campaign, start a Sandbox game and set 'Random Events' to 'Plenty' and length to maximum. A disaster will happen every 2-3 years - you should have no problems getting ten.
|Coup de Grace (10 points)
|Suppress a Military Coup
Build an Armoury and stop paying the generals. Your adviser will start warning you about a coup that will happen if you don't do something about the militarist's happiness. When the coup happens, you have to win it with just your palace guards.
|Homes for Everyone (20 points)
|Have population of over 300 and no Shacks
During the campaign you may come across a communist faction task 'Help the Homeless' which requires to have no shacks on the map. You don't need to have the task active, however, it gives a good overview of how much shacks are left.
At the start of the mission, do not build any houses, but get mines and farms to get a good economy. Buy a foreign office, a ministry, and a minister of foreign affairs. Use the edict 'USSR Development Aid' when you can, else use 'Praise the USSR' and wait for 'USSR Development Aid' to become available. After using the edict, build apartment blocks where shacks are and use the 'Free Housing' edict.
To locate shacks, go to the Almanac -> Lists -> Residents - Housing. On the last page you'll see all people that live in shacks. Press on one, then select 'House: Shack' and press . The game will show you the shack. Just build an apartment block over it and he/she will move in after a month.
|God Complex (10 points)
|Finish a Sandbox game in God mode
From the title screen, select 'Sandbox'. In the game settings, activate god mode, set the game length to minimum so you can finish this quickly. You don't actually have to do something in god mode, so you may just wait and confirm any spam messages from your people.

In the mission 'No One Left Behind' you will have to build 2 shopping malls. Switch one of them to 'Outlet Store'. Selling 1000 luxury goods will finish in a short time after you have both. You can also do it on any other mission, of course.
|Smells Like Chemistry (10 points)
|Buy all upgrades for a Chemical Plant
Build a chemical plant and purchase all upgrades.
|Mona Llama (15 points)
|Earn more than $30 000 from selling Tropican art in a Museum of Modern Art

Build a customs office and switch it to 'Customs duty evasion'. It'll unlock after some time has passed and your exports keep going.
|The Rumors of my Death... (20 points)
|Have one of your clones die instead of you during an assassination attempt
Two knowns ways to achieve:
|It's a Trap! (30 points)
|Kill 5 rebels at once with a trap in your Mausoleum
Buy a mausoleum and upgrade it with booby traps. Don't use Military Modernization. Make sure your people are not too happy so they keep becoming rebels, they need to outnumber your army. The best missions for this are No. 6 'Bickering Factions' and No. 13 'The Blind Revolution'. Once you think there are enough of them, save the game and use the edict 'lure the rebels', they will attack your mausoleum. After the rebels win, the mausoleum will blow up, taking out all the rebels around it. It works if there are a lot around, not if they already fled or are still walking out of the blast radius. Your army shouldn't be too small (I fired most, but not all), because all the rebels actually need to be in the place before they win. The trait 'Coward' might help.
|Theme Park (10 points)
|Have a Roller Coaster near a Ferris Wheel and an Aqua park
Build a Ferris Wheel, an Aqua Park and a Roller Coaster right next to each other.
|Prepared For Everything (15 points)
|Buy all upgrades for a Weather Station

|Competent (15 points)
|Have Character Trait at level 5
See Expert achievement description.
|Specialist (25 points)
|Have 3 Character Traits at level 5
See Expert achievement description.
|Expert (30 points)
|Have all Character Traits at level 5
When you start a mission, choose custom avatar and select traits on the last page. You will need to upgrade all these traits to the maximum. Finishing one campaign mission will level up all selected traits by one level. You need to complete 51 missions or sandbox games to get this. The easiest way is to just go for god mode sandbox games with a duration of 10 years. You don't actually have to do anything during these 10 years, so just confirm any messages you get and keep repeating, till you have one star left to do (or one star per trait), then start a sandbox game without god mode and play through it normally. God Mode locks any kind of achievement, it will also prevent you from getting this one, so disable it for your final round.
|Foreign Cuisine (20 points)

Purchase some marketplaces and allow them to import food. If you don't build any ranches, fishermen's wharves or corn farms, it'll unlock even faster.

This will unlock during the campaign mission 4: 'IMPORTant Business', you have to import 10000 resources. Build some industry buildings and allow imports for them, it'll unlock quickly.
|Kill Juanito (15 points)
|Issue an Execution order on a citizen called Juanito
Have some army men and go to the Almanac -> Lists -> Residents - Origin and keep looking for someone called Juanito. 'Origin' makes looking for him easier, since the name is Spanish/Hebrew. I found him coming from Spain, certain other countries might be possible, too. When you find him, just select him and order your army to kill him.

You unlock The Babel Tower in 1996. Once unlocked, build it under Welfare & Economy structures. It costs $120,000, upkeep $120/month, requires 50MW of electricity.
Following this, hire 50 uneducated foreign employees to quickly fill the building and unlock the achievement.

You unlock Ziggurat in 1994. Once unlocked, build it under Housing structures. It costs $100,000, upkeep is $150/month and it requires 100MW of electricity.
Tip: Set the rent of the Ziggurat to $1 and raise the rent of all other types of housing. By a lot. You will then be able to fill the building more quickly.
|Capo Di Tutti Capi (20 points)
|Renovate your Palace
Achievement requires four steps to satisfy.
1. Reach 250 population.

3. Reach 60 in population happiness.

U.S. EPA sent its draft guidance for curbing carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants to the White House yesterday, leaving two months for interagency vetting before the proposal's expected June 2 release date. The Office of Management and Budget's regulatory website reported the transfer this morning of the rule, a key component of President Obama's Climate Action Plan.
EPA sends rule for existing power plants to White House
PTC out, biofuels in extenders package to be marked up Thursday
Tax credits for biofuels and other gasoline alternatives, energy-efficient new homes and coal producers in Indian Country would be reinstated under legislation unveiled today by the Senate's top tax writers. The wind industry and other renewable electricity producers still have some lobbying ahead of them, as Senate Finance Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and ranking member Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) did not propose a renewal of the production tax credit (PTC), typically the most expensive of the energy provisions included in "tax extenders" bills.
Renewal of wind tax credit shows signs of life
A credit to help the wind industry could soon be renewed, as lawmakers are expected to take it up this week along with nearly 50 other tax provisions that expired at the end of last year. The tax breaks, ranging from charitable contributions to corporate research, would be extended through 2015 as part of a sweeping proposal released by Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, and the panel's top Republican, Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah. While the initial draft does not include production tax credits (PTC) for wind, geothermal, hydroelectric and other renewable power sources, a Wyden aide and officials representing the wind industry expected the measure to be included when the committee debates the bill Thursday. The draft included measures that were largely not controversial.
4 governors sign letter urging renewal of wind production tax credit
Touting wind energy as an important economic boon in their states, a bipartisan group of governors yesterday asked congressional leaders to renew the production tax credit (PTC) for the renewable energy technology. The PTC, which provides a 2.3-cent-per-kilowatt-hour subsidy to wind farms that began service or started meaningful development by the end of 2013, expired in December. But the wind industry and state leaders are lobbying to revive the credit program, arguing in a letter to Congress that the industry still depends on the PTC for survival. "If gas prices weren't so cheap, I'd say that wind might be able to survive without the production tax credit, but I think it's important that we not lose this industry even as we're on the brink of it being able to stand alone without any support," South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard (R) said on a call with reporters yesterday organized by the American Wind Energy Association.
President's energy policy 'starts with a commitment to low carbon' — Moniz
The president's "all of the above" energy strategy may embrace conventional fossil fuels along with renewables, but in the future, they are all going to have to fit within a smaller greenhouse gas footprint, according to Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz. "It all starts with a commitment to low carbon," he said, speaking Friday at the American Council on Renewable Energy's (ACORE) forum on renewable energy policy. "We need to make sure that all of our resources can compete in a low-carbon future."
Extenders markup slipping as wind backers step up PTC campaign
The Senate Finance Committee's effort to reinstate a variety of business tax breaks is being delayed as panel members continue to grapple with the details of legislation they hope to soon consider.
Governors group, including Kitzhaber, seeking new extension of federal tax credit for wind farms
Kitzhaber was chairman of the Governor's Wind Energy Coalition last year, which includes 23 states. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee will chair the coalition next year. Margi Hoffman, a policy advisor for Kitzhaber, says the wind industry has invested some $9 billion in Oregon, though the state's wind energy boom has cooled off in the last two years. That has less to do with the tax credit than new rules limiting the import of renewable energy into California to satisfy that state's green energy mandates. Oregon and Washington utilities are still investing in new wind projects, though their pace has slowed too as they get closer to meeting initial targets under their respective states' renewable portfolio standards.
Governors press Congress on wind tax credit
A bipartisan group of governors is calling on congressional leaders to pass a multi-year extension of tax credits for the wind energy industry. In a letter sent to Congress on Monday, governors from four states urged lawmakers to extend the production tax credit after letting it expire at the end of last year. "Thousands of jobs were lost, as were substantial new investments and local payments," the letter state
Iowa Senate OKs two bills bolstering state's renewable energy industry
The second bill extends the deadline for putting in place a renewable energy facility in order to qualify for the state's existing energy generation tax credit. The tax credit is equal to 1.5 cents per kilowatt-hour of generated electricity. The bill extends the current deadline of Jan. 1, 2015 by two years, making facilities placed in service before Jan. 1, 2017 eligible for the tax credit.
Texas Wind generation output in ERCOT tops 10,000 MW, breaks record
March winds brought a new wind power record to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) region Wednesday evening, March 26, when instantaneous output reached a record 10,296 megawatts (MW) at 8:48 p.m. At the time the new record was set, wind generation was providing nearly 29 percent of the 35,768 MW of electricity being used on the ERCOT grid. The new record beats the previous record set earlier this month by more than 600 MW, and the American Wind Energy Association reports it was a record for any U.S. power system.

The Reign of Paul (1796-1801)
THE SUCCESSOR of Catherine II was her son Paul, who had been waiting for thirty-four years to occupy the imperial throne. His life during these impatient years was not a happy one. The family atmosphere in which he grew up was strenuous, and antipathy between mother and son was so deeply felt that it eventually warped his character. Paul spent his early years apart from his parents at the court of Elizabeth. Severed from parental care, he was attended by numerous nurses and surrounded by an air of court intrigue and feigned solicitude which contributed little to cultivate humor or character. One is not surprised therefore to find the heir apparent a sickly youth. The prevailing court atmosphere did not favor the cultivation of a healthy mind either. Preoccupied with social entertainment, with the usual stilted ceremonies, and with political affairs, Elizabeth rarely had time to attend to the proper upbringing of the boy. He was entrusted to tutors who knew little of his needs and cared less. Paul possessed a native intelligence which was his chief saving grace. He grew up an impetuous, impulsive, unpredictable youth, at times kind, at times uncommonly callous.
At the tender age of eight Paul witnessed the overthrow of the rule of Peter III, and for a while the lad served as a kind of showpiece. Catherine II would make her appearance on her balcony with the boy above a crowd, who would applaud vigorously both the new empress and the heir apparent. But the stubborn fact remained that once Catherine grasped power she never let it out of her hands. The mysterious death of Peter III and the seizure of the throne by his mother left a profound impression with young Paul from which he was never able to free himself; through his lonely, embittered years he became vindictive, secretive, ill-tempered, and pathologically egotistic; he once observed in all seriousness that any person was important only when he spoke to Paul and even then only as long as he spoke to him.
The coup d'état of June 28, 1762, was carried out under the pretext of passing the reign to the legitimate heir, presumably Paul. But it was not long before it became indisputably clear that Catherine had not the slightest intention of letting power slip from her hands and consenting to the role of a mere regent. Paul was educated by a special tutor, a

Sorky is now Seals by EQ Surfing Earplugs for Swimming, Surfing and Cold Weather Activities (One Pair W/Case)
|Sorky Surfing Ear Plugs are now Seals by EQ. Sorky has joined with EQ to produce the finest ear plugs available for surfing and other cold-weather water sports. Seals by EQ have all the same high quality Sorky features you love: 100% waterproof, 100% windproof, optimal breathability, and an ergonomic design.
Seals by EQ (formerly Sorky) Surfing Earplugs are like nothing you have tried before. Designed especially for surfers for the prevention of the debilitating condition known as surfer's ear, Seals by EQ fit comfortably and securely, deep in the canal to prevent entry of cold water and wind, the primary causes of surfer's ear (exostosis). Unlike ordinary earplugs, though, Seals let you hear as though you had nothing in the ear, so you can hear everything going on around you.
Swimmers love Seals by EQ, too! Now you can keep the water out and not miss the sounds blocked by ordinary swimming earplugs. Outdoor enthusiasts can use Seals by EQ to prevent the earaches common with outdoor activies during cold weather including skiing, mountain biking, hiking and mountain climbing.
Yes, Seals/Sorky is expensive. No doubt about that. We import Seals by EQ from France -- because there simply is nothing like it in the USA, and these are the very best earplugs made for Surfers (with the exception of full custom molded earplugs, which cost up to three times the price of Seals by EQ!).

When a tough lady cop goes undercover and gets undressed to catch a nutjob who's bumping off strippers at the Rock Bottom Club, all the dirty old men had better button up their raincoats, because this dirty dancer is definitely Stripped to Kill!
"Entertaining, low-rent sleaze with an overload of '80s attitude and lacy lingerie … the director clearly knows what perverts want." – House of Self Indulgence
In this jiggle-rific "erotic thriller" from producer Roger Corman, a bevy of bodacious dancers with names like Angel, Cinnamon and Dazzle shake their respective moneymakers nightly at the sleazy Rock Bottom Club, owned by the even sleazier entrepreneur Ray (played by Normal Fell … yes, Mr. Roper from Three's Company owns a strip joint!). But these limber ladies don't just lay out your standard stripteases… oh no, the Rock Bottom gals like to "keep it classy" by performing weird routines involving motorcycles, fireworks and giant spider webs, all pumped up with pounding '80s synth rock, flashing pink lights and overworked smoke machines. But the fun times come to an end when the dancers begin to turn up dead, victims of a mysterious psychopath. Enter Detective Cody Sheehan (Kay Lenz, Death Wish 4), who has obviously seen too many episodes of Charlie's Angels, since she decides the best way to catch the killer is to go undercover as a stripper. Trouble is, Cody is a tough-as-nails tomboy will all the rhythm of a drunken camel. Naturally, she hits the Rock Bottom's Amateur Striptease contest, and inexplicably wows the crowd with her awkward flailing and clomping around the stage, thus magically transforming herself into a sassy stripper named Sonny. Soon, as so often happens in your finer erotic thrillers, our undercover angel is exploring her simmering sexuality by baring her "soul" for hordes of horny hound dogs, all while testing the boundaries of her implausible relationship with her policeman boyfriend Heineman (Greg Evigan, from TV's My Two Dads). Oh yeah, and she also occasionally remembers that she's supposed to be tracking down the killer by using herself as bait, leading to a truly twisted finale involving flaming strippers, airborne lingerie and a few shocking revelations. Filled with an almost annoying over-abundance of topless gyrating, a lot of violence, horrific Flashdance-inspired choreography and some very unconvincing stabs at feminist subtext, Stripped to Kill is good dirty fun from the (female!) director of Poison Ivy.

They've been a band since the 1980s, but people only want to hear them do the Friends theme song. To make matters worse, people only know about half the song. It's a rough fate. Alabama 3 can probably relate to their pain. No, not the country band Alabama. Alabama 3 is actually a bizarrely named British band that fuses dance with gospel, blues, rock and country. In 1997 they wrote "Wake Up This Morning" about Sara Thornton, a woman who killed her husband after years of abuse. The tale of murderous fit in perfectly with the vibe of The Sopranos, but it insured that Alabama 3 would forever be linked to an HBO crime drama. There are worse fates than being known for being a part of one of the greatest shows of all time, but it's sort of tough to move past that.

The second book of Part I of the Critique of Judgement is called the 'Analytic of the Sublime' and extends from § 23 to § 54, inclusively. That Kant should give this title to the second book is extremely puzzling, inasmuch as only §§ 23 to 30 are concerned explicitly with the question of sublimity. Kant's strategy here is at best complex and at worst obscure, and is due to the problematic relation in his theory between sublimity and art. (This relation is, indeed, so problematic that I shall defer discussion of it until after I have offered a reconstructed version of Kant's theory in Part III of this study.) In relation to those sections which are more directly addressed to the sublime, it should be noted that my treatment of these will for the moment be expository and interpretative, and will consider critical issues only in so far as they pertain to points not central to Kant's main argument; or in so far as they are directly raised in problems of interpretation. Let me now address, then, the opening sections of the Analytic of the Sublime.
Kant opens his discussion in § 23 with a comparison and contrast of judgements of the beautiful and the sublime. (As his arguments concentrate primarily on the points of contrast—and are somewhat contentious—I shall accordingly focus my attention on these.) Kant begins with the twofold claim that the beautiful and the sublime both please on their own account (i.e. in themselves rather than as means towards some other end), and both involve reflective judgements rather than judgements of sense or determinative judgements. From this, Kant supposes it to follow 1 that the delight which we take in them

Dave Stewart's career has spanned several generations of music technology, and for his latest project he faced the challenge of bringing his old multitracks and MIDI sequences into the computer age.
About a year ago, I finished making an album. No big deal: practically every musician one runs into on the Internet seems to be in the same position. However, putting aside its musical merits (or otherwise), my project has the dubious distinction of spanning several eras of audio, which posed some 'interesting' (in the Chinese sense) challenges when it came to finishing it. While mixing the tracks, it occurred to me how things have changed since I started recording in the late '60s, and I thought it would be instructive to chart some of that evolution.
In the beginning, there was analogue. Throughout the '80s, I and my vocalist partner Barbara Gaskin spent many happy months in the studio recording on 24‑track, two‑inch tape — ah! I still remember its smell (the tape, I mean, not the studio). That all changed one day in autumn 1988 when the owner of the East Anglian recording facility we were working in strode into the premises and announced out of the blue to our young engineer that the studio was about to close and he was henceforth out of a job. The engineer, Owen Morris, went on to produce hugely successful albums for Oasis and the Verve, so no harm done there. But for us, the closure posed a dilemma: we'd been regularly hiring commercial studios since 1981, but now many were struggling to survive. I didn't fancy looking around for a new work environment, only to see it shut down six months later, so we simply bought more kit and carried on recording at home, occasionally hiring outside facilities when necessary.
Our domestic setup then was based around a 16‑track tape recorder, supplemented by much off‑tape sequenced MIDI material. I enjoyed the physical business of handling tape: fiddling around with splicing blocks, razor blades, leader tape, pinch rollers, take‑up spools and isopropyl alcohol (used to clean tape recorder heads, not for recreational purposes, you understand) made me feel like an old‑school studio pro. But my love affair with the brown ribbony stuff turned sour when I was mixing a song called 'Your Lucky Star', a tribute to the maverick producer Joe Meek. The tape machine decided to make its own zany contribution by playing at slightly the wrong speed, creating a tuning discrepancy between the recorded material and the off‑tape sequenced keyboards which Mr. Meek might have enjoyed, but I didn't. I became paranoid, and from then on always recorded an A=440 tone on tape at the top of every track so I could check playback speed.
Since the late '80s, I'd been mixing onto DAT tape (RIP), which sounded great, generated no tape hiss, required no calibration, failed to grow sonically dull after repeated plays and invariably ran at the right speed. By the end of 1993, the time had come to ditch analogue tape and go digital. At that stage it would have been prudent to check out Notator Logic (as it was then called) or one of the other emergent PC‑based recording systems, but I was wary of computers; having started out playing in a band, operating a mouse and keypad on a daily basis felt, to me, uncomfortably close to working in an office. I opted instead for three Tascam digital eight‑track recorders (a pair of DA88s and a DA38), which could be synchronised and used as a 24‑track recording system.
These digital eight‑tracks had a great sound and a sweet top end, but they brought their own problems.Recording 24‑track required three separate tapes, each of which lasted for nearly two hours and had to be formatted in real time prior to use. Originally designed as camcorder tapes, these Hi‑8 cassettes used 8mm tape that was thin, flimsy and prone to creasing. More than once, I ejected a tape and found a loop of tape trailing outside its plastic case and snarled up inside the player. Result: severe audio dropouts and brain‑ache.
Premature head wear proved to be a major issue, and when one DA88 needed an expensive replacement head after only 240 hours' use I put my foot down and refused to pay for it. Why, users asked, were the recorders' heads wearing out so quickly? Tascam responded by making veiled accusations about the "abrasive" nature of the brand of tape I'd been using, despite it being recommended by reputable pro audio dealers. Somewhat rattled, I cloned all of our DA88 tapes onto an alternative make which was a) in short supply and b) expensive.
I got into the habit of backing up overdubs after every session. On the occasions when I had to retrieve audio from a back‑up tape due to dropouts on the master, I'd make a back‑up of the back‑up. As a result, my DA88 tape collection grew at the speed of a rabbit population. This proliferation was accelerated by my habit of creating new slave tapes for different overdub sessions. Keeping track of their contents required a great deal of housekeeping. I'd avoided turning into an office worker, but at times I felt like a librarian.
Weighed against these drawbacks were some distinct advantages: the recorders were highly portable, and with two in the car boot we could drive to North Wales and record a 30‑piece choir, take the slow, stomach‑churning Swansea‑Cork ferry across the Irish Sea to record our guitarist in his Bantry studio, or pop into a London studio to record acoustic piano. We also paid repeated visits to our drummer friend Gavin Harrison (who now plays with Porcupine Tree and King Crimson), to transfer overdubs between our DA88s and his Logic/Mac system. And thereby hangs a tale...
It goes without saying that when transferring audio between a digital tape recorder and a hard disk recording system the two have to be perfectly synchronised, otherwise your overdubs will end up out of time with each other. Technology makes this easy, right? Wrong.
Drummer Gavin Harrison and myself hired and/or borrowed a number of different makes of synchroniser and MIDI interface in our attempts to accurately sync my Tascam DA88s and his Logic 5/Mac system, but Logic consistently refused to respond to the audio timecode (aka EBU) they generated. In the end, we stumbled upon a just‑about‑workable system by trial and error: it involved running MIDI timecode from the DA88 into a MOTU MIDI Express interface connected to Gavin's Mac G3 via Firewire. The secondary question of clocking the digital audio was solved by sending word clock from the Mac's MOTU 2408 MkI soundcard into the DA88. If we neglected to do that, loud audio glitches rended the air.
This somewhat counter‑intuitive lash‑up produced solid, no‑drift lock between my digital tape recorders and Logic. The problem was that when monitoring the pilot click-track recorded on both, we'd hear a positional discrepancy which, infuriatingly, was never the same twice. This 'timing gap' was sometimes in the region of a 16th note, at other times close enough to produce a flam. Once in a while, unpredictably, the two clicks would sync so tightly that they would phase‑cancel, enabling us to complete the transfer. That joyous moment rarely occurred until after a dozen or so false starts and much profanity. This was not the sample‑accurate sync we'd hoped for.
I asked many colleagues about the problem and none of their suggested solutions worked any better. The problem appeared to lie principally with Logic, though I can't substantiate that. Fortunately, such transfers are not something one needs to do on a regular basis, but if you still have multiple ADAT or Tascam eight‑track project tapes in the attic that you're planning to archive to hard disk one day, be aware of this sync issue.
It was Gavin Harrison who pointed out to me that hard disk recording had made it possible for drummers to edit their performances, something keyboard players had been able to do for years using MIDI. Watching him perform three highly accurate back‑to‑back drum takes and then comp his favourite bits into a master performance in no time at all made me realise how powerful this hard disk recording business was. Doing the same thing on two‑inch tape would have taken all day.
It was time for a change. Smash-hit drum & bass tracks were now being recorded by 15-year-olds in their bedrooms, on cheap home computers, and I had to face the fact that my once cutting‑edge gear was antiquated. Things reached a head in 2001 when we were comping a vocal on a DA38: I set up an automated trial drop‑in and auditioned it three or four or five times — perfect each time. When I hit 'record' to execute it, there was a loud click at the drop‑in point on playback.
That was it. I bit the bullet, bought a Mac G5, a soundcard and Logic 6, gritted my teeth, learned the jargon and rode the learning curve. It was a tedious business at times, but there were immediate rewards. MIDI sequencing in Logic was far quicker and easier than it had been on my old hardware sequencer and I now had the keyboard player's Holy Grail of perfectly integrated MIDI and audio. There was, however, one fly in the ointment: all our current songs were recorded on multiple DA88 slave tapes. How would I assemble their contents in Logic?
In the end, it was the prospect of moving house that finally spurred me into action. The thin walls of our two‑up, two‑down Orwellian terraced property meant that we could hear every utterance of our next‑door neighbours, and from their side of the drainpipe my running commentaries down the talkback mic to Barbara ("Sounded good, best yet — wanna try one more? OK, rolling...") must have sounded like a madman's monologue. Not an ideal environment for a recording studio, really. We decided to head for the hills and "get our heads together in the country", as musicians used to say annoyingly in the '60s.
Before fleeing the metropolis, I transferred all our DA88 tapes into Logic three at a time, using my MOTU 2408 MkII interface's three TDIF digital connections. Some songs were spread over as many as 20 slave tapes and required multiple passes. Mindful of the dodgy sync we'd experienced at Gavin's, I took care to include a digital clone of each song's pre‑recorded pilot click track with every pass, so that I could keep a handle on the timing. I set up an automated drop‑in in Logic four bars before the song start, which meant that all the audio files started at exactly the same place regardless of where the overdubs occurred in the arrangement. It was tedious to have to go right back to the top to transfer percussion parts that didn't come in until the playout, but since I hadn't yet created tempo maps and bar charts for the songs, this was the only way to keep the audio lined up.
As mentioned earlier, I was in the habit of using a lot of off‑tape sequenced material, so I needed to recreate all this MIDI data within the Logic songs. Up to a point, this was comparatively easy. In a rare moment of foresight, realising that no computer program would ever be able to read data from my Roland MC500 hardware sequencer, I'd bought a Roland MC80 sequencer, which could read MC500 floppy disks and convert said data to a MIDI file. This handy 'black box recorder' (which had sat on the shelf gathering dust for years) saved the day. Before long, I had MIDI files of all my old sequencer data for each song running happily in Logic. The problem was synchronising this data with the audio recordings.
My old system relied on a Roland SBX80 sync box: the song tempi, time signatures and timecode offset were programmed in the SBX80, which read audio timecode (aka EBU) from the DA88's sync card and sent MIDI clock and song position pointers to the MC500. I often change tempo mid‑song to make things feel organic, so the bpm figure was rarely static. Replicating the SBX80 program data in Logic should have been a simple question of copying the time signatures and bpm figures, but unfortunately it wasn't that straightforward. An obscure technical fact, which occasionally causes sync problems, is that not all devices compute tempi in the same way (I'm reliably told that this is due to differences in rounding off numerical decimal values, known as 'representation errors', a subject explained in mind‑boggling detail by Wikipedia).
By comparing the timecode readouts of Logic and my old Roland SBX80, I could see that they had a different way of measuring tempo. For example, in Logic, bar 17 of a 98bpm song starts at timecode position 00:39:04:47 (minutes, seconds, frames, bits), whereas the SBX80 places it 31 bits earlier. Since a 'bit' is only half a millisecond long, a few bits variance either way doesn't matter much, but over the length of a song, such timing discrepancies soon become obvious. I got round the problem by making micro‑adjustments to the Logic tempi, so that bars occurred in precisely the same place as before. Consequently, passages originally programmed at 128bpm now ran at the exciting new speed of 127.796 beats per minute. That's Numberwang!
Once the MIDI, song tempi and bar lines were sorted, I could finally turn my attention to the errant audio files. I lined up the pilot clicks from each DA88 three‑tape pass and noted which was the earliest, then used Logic's sample editor to figure out how many samples later the others occurred. Having established this figure, it remained to trim all the other files from the same pass by the same amount. Once I'd done that, my recordings were now all playing in time with each other again. Hallelujah!
Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of it. Though in perfect sync with each other, the audio files sounded early to Logic's click, and by looking at its waveform, I could see that the pre‑recorded DA88 pilot click was now well in advance of the beat: comparing it to a live, Logic‑driven MIDI version of the same thing, I could hear a pronounced flam. As this click was the only verifiable timing link between the old tape playback and the new Logic songs, I had to abandon scientific theory and slide all the on‑screen audio regions to the right until they matched the live click. The size of the timing shift varied from song to song, but averaged about 80 milliseconds.
Having overcome all this mathematical madness and successfully entered the modern world of audio, I was left with the relatively simple task of making musical sense of the hundreds of overdubs I'd transferred into Logic. A lot of them were now redundant: guide backing track and drum-kit submixes created for overdub sessions, early guide vocals with first‑draft lyrics, pre‑bounce multiple backing vocal tracks, guitar and piano out‑takes, alternative keyboard solos, and so on. Sorting through this lot made me realise how I'd unwittingly made a rod for my own back in this project: there were just too many scattered options, but now I could see them all assembled in front of me, it wasn't hard to identify the viable ones and junk the rest.
The question arose of whether to mix 'in the box' or break the audio out into a desk and mix on faders. I had sufficient desk channels for the latter, but opted to mix in the box for two reasons: it was simple and it was repeatable. It may be that the audio would sound subtly better if run through a desk's analogue circuitry, but I knew from experience that if we wanted to quickly remix a song with (say) the vocals a couple of dB louder, recreating the analogue mixer settings would require an enormous amount of note‑taking on my part, with no guarantee of perfect recall. By comparison, loading the Logic song, adjusting a single on‑screen fader and doing an off-line mix bounce would take five minutes, and the backing track would sound verifiably identical.
Enough already. By now it was early 2009, and the clock was ticking. Barbara and I had deliberately put pressure on ourselves by announcing a release date for the album and arranging some Japanese gigs to coincide. It was an enormous relief to finish the mixes and master the tracks for CD release. What with one thing and another, the project had taken an enormous amount of time to complete, but now it was done we could finally move on creatively.
I have to admit that none of the technical processes described above actually improved the music. In effect, all I achieved was to move the audio from one format to another and gain the (admittedly enormous) convenience of having everything in one place, rather than spread out over multiple slave tapes, three tape machines and two external MIDI boxes. The biggest boon was no longer having to wait for tapes to rewind. How many hours of our lives did we waste doing that?
I can't see myself going back to recording on tape, but though I've embraced computer technology, I'm not evangelical about it. If you'll pardon the reiteration of a somewhat knackered cliché, it's the music, arrangement and performance that count, and if you get those right you can almost get away with recording on a wax cylinder... or even on three digital eight‑track recorders, appearing soon in an eBay advertisement near you. .

Fire chief enters plea deal to resolve flashlight caseBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | January 08,2013BENNINGTON - The chief of the Bennington Rural Fire Department pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct after police said he threw a flashlight at a car on June 3 while he was at a fire scene but it's likely he'll avoid having a criminal record.
Joseph T. Hayes, 43, of North Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court in July on the charge of disorderly conduct and a misdemeanor charge of unlawful mischief.
Under the agreement reached on Tuesday, Hayes pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct but the charge of unlawful mischief has been dismissed.
In addition, Hayes' sentence for the charge was deferred for four months. He will appear before the reparative board and, if he complies with whatever the board requires of him and stays out of further legal trouble, the case will be dismissed and Hayes' conviction will be sealed.
William D. Wright, the attorney who represented Hayes, continued to maintain that his client had only been doing his duty as a fire chief at the scene of an emergency. He said it had been a "troubling" case for him and his client.
According to Wright, Hayes was on North Bennington Road, handling a situation involving arcing power lines in a tree on June 3 around 10:20 p.m. Wright said Frederick Grant drove through the scene, past the fire police, without slowing down.
Wright said the car drove toward Hayes "rapidly" and Hayes had to move quickly out of the way to avoid being hit.
"As he did so, he sort of instinctively underhanded the flashlight towards the vehicle. I don't want the impression that he kind of wound-up and was off to the side of the road and threw it because that's simply not accurate," Wright said.
