Eddie Murphy's 1980s 'Party' Album
A promo ad for this album says it all: "EDDIE MURPHY SINGS!!! / 'HOW COULD IT BE' ?!?" Nine years after Richard Pryor's …Is It Something I Said? held the number-one spot on the R&B charts for two consecutive weeks, only one of Murphy's first two albums, both recordings of his stand-up act, had squeaked its way into the top ten of that chart.
Though comedy LPs by Bill Cosby, Steve Martin, and Bob Newhart had been major commercial successes in the 60s and 70s, by the early 80s, audiences were turning to movies, TV, and video rental for their standup needs. (Pryor's landmark 1982 concert Live on the Sunset Strip was #1 at the box office, for instance, but only made it to #13 on the R&B charts.) And so for his third album, Murphy got some of his friends together and launched himself into the revenue stream then ascendant: R&B albums. Rick James co-wrote and sang on the lead single "Party All the Time," as you may remember from the tales Charlie Murphy, Eddie's older brother, shared on "Chappelle's Show." The resulting album, How Could It Be, was both an exercise in vanity and astoundingly successful at being the thing it was aspiring to, which was a mid-80s electro-pop megahit. Nearly two decades later, Charlie Murphy's tales of "Party" are emblematic of its legacy as a reliable go-to for making fun of the 80s. But there's much more to the album, from Stevie Wonder playing harmonica to sensitive ballads about racial harmony. Does it deserve critical reconsideration?
THE SONGS: Eddie had always pursued music alongside his comedy, fronting an R&B band as a teenager back in Queens and doing backup vocals for the Bus Boys, a vocal group who appeared in 48 Hours. He included two parody songs on his first, self-titled comedy album—the Grandmaster Flash-goofing "Boogie in Your Butt" and "Enough is Enough," an almost indescribably embarrassing play on Donna Summer and Barbara Streisand's disco master class "No More Tears (Enough is Enough)." But you know he's up to something different here about 30 seconds into the Stevie Wonder-penned opener "Do I." After an extended intro of Seinfeldian synth-bass pops and guitar strums (that sound, to modern ears, remarkably like an iPhone's "Strum" ringtone), Murphy coos, "Do I, do I, do I love you…" This is serious Eddie, trading the sexual aggression and rapid-fire mockery of his comedy for vulnerability and romance. If the only song you're familiar with from the album is "Party All the Time" (and why would it be any other way?), the mellow tone of the rest of the tracks may come as a surprise. They were produced by Stevie Wonder's cousin, a man named Aquil Fudge, and occasionally featured Stevie himself playing harmonica. There is a song, written by Murphy, called "My God Is Color Blind" which Eddie sings in a pained falsetto, and this song is far more typical of the album than "Party."
DID IT SELL? Very well: the album went to #26 on the overall Billboard chart, Eddie's highest ever (although due to the vagaries of Billboard's system, it did worse on the R&B charts, reaching a peak 7 spots lower than he did on Comedian). "Party" hit #2 on the singles chart, tragically (yet appropriately) held off from #1 by Lionel Richie's "Say You, Say Me," the mere humming of which has been shown to induce spontaneous soft-focus vision and slow-motion hair-flipping in bystanders within a fifteen-foot radius.
CURRENT AVAILABILITY: Available on iTunes as we speak.
SKETCHINESS OF LABEL: Like Murphy's standup albums, it was released on the mega-major Columbia.
WHO HELPED HIM MAKE IT: I can't tell you much about the aforementioned Aquil Fudge, who is so little-documented that when the album came out both Billboard and an LA Times letter-writer erroneously assumed this was a pseudonym for Murphy himself. (In retrospect, the idea that Murphy was vain enough to want credit for performing and writing but so modest that he demurred at taking credit for producing does seem ridiculous.) But more than any individual, the free-floating musical environment of R&B at the time was most responsible for the album's content. Scan the charts and you'll find a whole bunch of superstars who shared personnel with Murphy, from Hall & Oates and Marvin Gaye to Eric Clapton and David Bowie. Bassist Fred Washington co-wrote "Forget Me Nots," which you may be familiar with as "that Men in Black song." Two years later, Murphy blamed "egos" for the lack of famous guests aside from James on the album (Prince had been a rumored collaborator) and says that the fantastic Mr. Fudge "wasn't that familiar with the recording equipment we used." Who would've thought that making an album with Stevie Wonder's cousin would be a bad move!
WHEN HE MADE IT: Eddie Murphy is a hard man to like nowadays, but, in 1985, he was wildly popular. Beverly Hills Cop had been a blockbuster just the year before, following on the heels of the hits 48 Hours and Trading Places. Still, resistance had begun to brew. Two years before, gay rights activists launched the "Eddie Murphy's Disease Foundation" in reaction to Murphy's sizable and reprehensible stable of jokes about AIDS and gays. "Too many people were confusing 'homophobia' with other diseases, like hemophilia," the activists write in their pamphlet, "so from now on let's just call it Eddie Murphy's Disease." (He later apologized for all the gay-bashing; it was not particularly convincing.) A 1988 profile in People, written with the release of Coming to America, the movie that would turn out to be the first step in his box-office decline, catches him at a slightly more paranoid place than he was during the making of How Could It Be, but the personality shines through. He says of a fairly complimentary Elvis Mitchell piece that had run in Interview the year before, "I was raped"—and this was a quote that made it into People magazine, the most sympathetic forum for celebrities in the known universe.
How Could It Be was made in the eye of a storm of personal problems that would inform Murphy's late-80s persona, especially as it was expressed in his 1987 concert Raw. Mentions of paternity suits, real-estate scams, drugs, and nasty business disputes of all cast and character litter any discussion of Murphy's career during this period. Some of it (the drugs, the money problems) are understandable territory for a guy who'd gotten massively successful at a young age, ricocheting from the then-edgy SNL to making three of the highest-grossing movies of the decade. But the romantic problems were Murphy's own. The People piece repeats the rumor (more-or-less confirmed in the Chappelle skit) that Murphy would send underlings to clubs to recruit one-night stands. A couple paternity suits followed. The most recent suit was brought by ex-girlfriend, and ex-Spice Girl, Melanie Brown, whose daughter Angel was confirmed to be Murphy's, though he's refused to have any contact. Most notoriously, in 1997, while he was married to Nicole Mitchell, Murphy was pulled over by police while out with a transvestite prostitute. Murphy, saying he was only helping out a stranger with a ride home, blamed insomnia.
During this period, Murphy seemed to pick up and discard sexual partners at a frequency greater even than that of other superstars, and he did not treat them kindly. Yet romantic yearning is at the heart of How Could it Be. People quotes Murphy's friend Arsenio Hall on Murphy's dating history: "On the first date Eddie will say, 'Oh, man! Isn't she wonderful? That's the next Miz Murphy!' He wants Cinderella so bad." And indeed, there's a yearning for companionship that runs through Murphy's contributions to the album, one starkly different from the aggressive lothario persona he adopts in his standup.
THE MUSIC: "Yeah, a lot of it turned out bad," Murphy said of How Could It Be in that 1987 Elvis Mitchell piece. He's not wrong. Murphy, dreaming of being a star singer as long as he'd dreamed of being a famous comedian, committed the cardinal sin of vanity projects: assuming your undeniable talent in one area will carry over to another area just because you care about and have worked at both areas equally much. It's clear that Eddie Murphy really wanted to be a serious, respected R&B singer. But some people have good voices for singing, and some people have good voices for comedy, and rarely do the twain meet. Murphy's is solidly a comedic voice, and a great one. But the Lionel Richie-like croon he adopts on many of How's tracks sounds like nothing more than the take from an audition that makes everyone in the control booth exchange disappointed and slightly pained glances. Anyone else would've been politely shown the door; Murphy got a gold record. On the bright side, it's only a half-hour long.
None of this is to deny the magnificence of "Party All the Time," however. As a song by Eddie Murphy, it's less than ideal, given that everything we know about Eddie Murphy tends to dismiss the dissatisfaction expressed of girls who indulge in recreational activities with the frequency much-protested in the song's chorus. But as an 80s synth-pop single, there is not a single thing to complain about. It's ironic, goofy, and insanely tuneful. Murphy's weak voice ultimately prevents it from being a vocal-driven egofest, letting the crazy groove and melody dominate. "Party All the Time" is a four-minute loop of pleasure that could be endless, if you want it to be, Rick James whispering in your ear, the bass bouncing along, the chorus occasionally circling back into view. Sometimes the context matters less than the beat.

Retired Aurora Officer Wins Cash 5 Jackpot
DENVER – A former police and code enforcement officer for the City of Aurora won the Colorado Lottery Cash 5 jackpot on March 9. Frederick Schlemeyer of Aurora retired in December of 2005 after 42 years with the city.
"I just appreciate all the other players who have contributed to the (prize by playing)," said the long-time Lottery player. "Everyone plays because they want to win, and I'm lucky it was me this time."
Schlemeyer said he doesn't have any specials plans to celebrate the $20,000 jackpot, just pay bills. "After a couple of heart surgeries, I'm just glad to be able to get up each day."
LP Stop, 1470 Airport Blvd. in Aurora, sold the winning ticket.
In Adams County, more than $70 million in Lottery proceeds have helped to improve community facilities, local parks and nature trails such as the South Platte River Heritage Corridor Legacy, Colorado Outdoor Education and Recreation Complex and Prairie Gateway Land Acquisition.
Proceeds from the Colorado Lottery's games - Scratch, Lotto, Powerball and Cash 5 - stay in Colorado to improve the quality of life in the state. In 2006, more than $120 million was returned to Colorado. Since the lottery started in 1983, more than $1.8 billion has been returned to the state.

The Real Estate industry, although cyclical in nature, continues to expand. In addition, it has benefited greatly from the Internet. A few years ago, businesses started listing properties online with simple web sites, and it worked!
However, simple lists with large amounts of data alongside millions of competitive look-alike websites are no longer capable of attracting potential customers. Successful real estate marketing requires a more sophisticated and user friendly approach to data presentation. Through the innovative use of GIS, mapping and multimedia technologies, what was impossible several years ago, is now not only possible but very affordable. Thanks to Macromedia Flash technology, flash mapping services are now available online and accessible to everyone.
Commercial realtors require accurate and reliable tools to publish available properties online and present on the website (specifying region, county, state, and city).
USA Real Estate Map is a unique and amazing combination of vector-based cartography and real estate data. It is a tool that is very simple to use. We have applied best usability practices to develop the greatest interface for real estate maps ever designed.Our Interactive Real Estate maps are easy to integrate with database listings: both to specify the states and counties that should be active on map, and pass the selected county name or ID back, for further use.
Interactive real estate maps were developed to make large real estate listings simpler in use. With its 3D transformations, flash animation, fast loading speed, and simple interface, USA Real Estate Flash Maps became a part of many Real Estate listings transforming them to high-impact and rich Web content. Website users like them because interactive real estate maps help them find what they are looking for. Web masters love them, because the maps are easy to set up, and customize.
New updates are always available!

It is prescribed for the collection, processing, and interchange of coded data by Federal agencies, and whenever requirements for such data are imposed by a Federal Agency on Industry, State or Local Governments, or by the public.

This is why the Real Estate Flash Map is 100% compliant and can be easily integrated with the federal or commercial database. The delivered package also includes a CSV file with the county name, state and county FIPS, state and state abbreviation to assist with your data verification if required.
USA Real Estate Map with Counties includes all US Counties, Boroughs, Census Areas and Independent Cities.
Independent cities should not be confused with consolidated city-counties, such as Denver, Colorado, the City and County of San Francisco, California or Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
In the United States, an independent city is a city that does not belong to any particular county. Because counties have historically been strong institutions in local governments in most of the United States, independent cities are relatively rare outside of Virginia (see below), whose state constitution makes them a special case. The U.S. Census Bureau uses counties as its base unit for presentation of statistical information, and treats independent cities as county equivalents for those purposes.
Installing and configuring USA Real Estate Maps is extremely easy and fun. Interactive Real Estate map with counties does not require any special software installed on your web server. It will take you only several minutes to do the following:
USA Real Estate Map is a standalone application, which works on any computer with a flash plug-in. You can run it locally, or upload to your website. No scripting language or database support is required.
Interactive Real Estate Map with counties is only several Kbytes in size, so it loads almost instantly even for dial-up users. Without an image, National view is 50 Kbytes only. Each state loads separately, once you click it, and usually is between 10 to 30 Kbytes. This is a result of tremendous amount of work and employing of a technology to optimize map outlines (geometry primitives).
Real Estate Maps have two major goals:
USA Real Estate Map is truly interactive. It is used to visualize real estate properties or other data you have, and pass a selected area to a search results page. It adds more interactivity to your site, making it more outstanding, and simple to use. No more boring lists of states and counties.

Do snails eat fish waste?
So I am thinking about college and taking one of my bettas in a 10 gallon tank, either the hex or rectangle tank. Is one better than the other? I'm thinking just having a male betta, with decor but no gravel, and a mystery snail to clean up the bottom. Will the snail eat excess food as well as the betta's waste? And would I have to feed the snail something? Thanks!
Would you eat poop? (the answer to this question is the answer to your question.)
To answer your other question the snail will eat excess food.
If you don't mind me asking, why don't you want gravel?
substrate-less tanks can be stressful to fish...
There's not really any extra cleaning, go buy brown gravel if you're worried about appearences...
I had a bare bottom with my frogs and a betta and loved it! I spray painted the outside bottom a sand color. I liked it a lot cause I could just suck up the waste really easy. But with 3 frogs they were too messy, so with just a fish and snail it would be even easier. Plus college water isn't always that great and I will have to wash the tank in the bathroom Yuck! So the easier i can make it the better :) Plus my fish wasn't stressed out he had bubblenests :)
Mmmm, how would substrate less be stressful to fish? I don't see it :( Enlighten me, lol
I know a LOT of fish breeders don't put in substrate just to make everything so much easier. I think same with hospital tanks, too.
Substrate is just so much more natural looking than a bare bottom. Substrate mimics a natural habitat and would make the fish feel more at home than a bare bottom. Bare bottomed tanks have their uses but for a regular show tank, a nice looking substrate is a lot better looking than a bare glass floor.
Mostly Irrelevant, but when I set up my 10g fry tank (44g is my now fry tank), I bought 3 ghost shrimp (1 died), and they seemed like they were having a hard time keeping a grip to the bottom (later added gravel), so it might not be stressful to fish, but other little creatures you could be interested in it might be. Also the bottom could reflect the light in a bare bottom tank which is very unnatural to the fish and I can imagine stressful. Over-all though it shouldn't stress the fish out. Most people who fish keep do like to try to create beautiful tanks. Most people don't find bare bottom attractive and thats why only breeders really use it because they aren't there for looks. It's your choice how you make the tank look, so go ahead.
Oh and also fish waste is much more visible on bare bottom tanks.

Found 2 of them still in box for $200. I was wanting to ride this winter and needed a beater bike and not ride my Dahon Speed D7 with all the salt on the roads here. I also wanted a softer ride going over the mess. We also need extra folding bikes in the household for the occasional ride for next season. I mean, how bad can they really be? Not going to be going on the hills or racing. It's just for riding on MUPs at medium speeds. I can't find ANY new bike for $100 around here much less one that folds....Thinking about getting them both tomorrow night.
Any objections?

WASHINGTON — Just how rich is Mitt Romney? Add up the wealth of the past eight presidents, from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama. Then double that number. Now you're in Romney territory.
He would be among the richest presidents in American history if elected — probably in the top four.
He couldn't top George Washington who, with nearly 60,000 acres and more than 300 slaves, is considered the big daddy of presidential wealth. After that, it gets complicated, depending how you rate Thomas Jefferson's plantation, Herbert Hoover's millions from mining or John F. Kennedy's share of the vast family fortune, as well as the finer points of factors like inflation adjustment.
But it's safe to say the Roosevelts had nothing on Romney, and the Bushes are nowhere close.
The former Massachusetts governor has disclosed only the broad outlines of his wealth, putting it somewhere from $190 million to $250 million. That easily could make him 50 times richer than Obama, who falls in the still-impressive-to-most-of-us range of $2.2 million to $7.5 million.
"I think it's almost hard to conceptualize what $250 million means," said Shamus Khan, a Columbia University sociologist who studies the wealthy. "People say Romney made $50,000 a day while not working last year. What do you do with all that money? I can't even imagine spending it. Well, maybe ..."
Within the 1 percent
"Romney is small potatoes compared with the ultra-wealthy," said Jeffrey Winters, a political scientist at Northwestern University who studies the nation's elites.
A household needs to bring in roughly $400,000 per year to make the cut. Romney and his wife, Ann, have been making 50 times that — more than $20 million a year. In 2009, only 8,274 federal tax filers had income above $10 million. Romney is solidly within that elite 0.006 percent of all U.S. taxpayers.
Congress is flush with millionaires. Only a few are in the Romney realm, including Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, who was the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004. Kerry's ranking would climb much higher if the fortune of his wife, Teresa Heinz, were counted. She is the widow of Sen. John Heinz, heir to the Heinz ketchup fortune.
Further up the ladder, top hedge- fund managers can pocket $1 billion or more in a single year. At the top of the wealth pile sits Bill Gates, worth $59 billion, according to Forbes magazine's estimates.
As a potential president
Romney stands out here. America's super rich generally don't jockey to live in the White House. A few have toyed with the idea, most notably New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whom Forbes ranks as the 12th richest American, worth $19.5 billion. A lesser billionaire, Ross Perot, bankrolled his own third-party campaigns in 1992 and 1996.
Many presidents weren't particularly well-off, especially 19th-century leaders such as Abraham Lincoln, James Buchanan and Ulysses S. Grant. Nor was the 33rd president, Harry Truman.
"These things ebb and flow," said sociologist Khan. "It's not the case that all presidents were always rich."
Comparing the landlocked wealth of early Americans such as Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison with today's millionaires is tricky, even setting aside the lack of documentation and economic changes over two centuries.
Research by 24/7 Wall St., a news and analysis website, estimated Washington's wealth at the equivalent of $525 million in 2010 dollars.
Yet Washington had to borrow money to pay for his trip to New York for his inauguration in 1789, according to Dennis Pogue, vice president for preservation at Mount Vernon, Washington's Virginia estate. His money was tied up in land, reaping only a modest cash income after farm expenses.
"He was a wealthy guy, there's no doubt about it," Pogue said. But, "the wealthiest person in America then was nothing in comparison to what these folks are today."
How does he compare?
Romney is roughly 1,800 times richer than a regular Joe.
The typical U.S. household was worth $120,300 in 2007, according to the Census Bureau's most recent data, although that number is sure to have dropped since the recession. A typical family's income is $50,000.
Calculations from 24/7 Wall St. of the peak lifetime wealth (or peak so far) of Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama add up to a total $128 million — while Romney reports assets of up to $250 million.
If you consider only those presidents' assets while in office, without millions earned later from speeches and books, their combined total would be substantially lower, and Romney's riches would leave the pack even further behind.

Woodcreek's 'Green Bandits' win $10,000 prize
Woodcreek High School's "Green Bandits" have won $10,000 in the Lexus Eco Challenge for their experiment with worm bins.
The Roseville campus was one of eight high school teams selected nationwide as winners of the first round of the sixth-annual competition, which asks students to define and take action to help solve an important environmental issue. There were also eight middle school winners.
The $10,000 prize will be shared among students, their teacher and the school. Each of the six-member Bandits will get $1,160 for college and teacher adviser Kendra Grinsell will use $1,000 to buy supplies for her classroom. The Woodcreek Nature Center will get $2,000 of the winnings.
The team also moves onto the final round for a chance to win one of two $30,000 grand prizes or one of eight $15,000 first place awards.
"We were thrilled of course and a little nervous because it means we will now progress to the round of 16 with the winners from across the country," Grinsell said. "That will be some serious competition and we have to come up with a whole new project for it."
For their project, Woodcreek students investigated vermicomposting, which is the decomposition of organic material with the assistance of worms that speed up the process. They created an action plan and analyzed the results.
The final winning action plans will be featured online at www.scholastic.com/lexus to inspire other students to take action in their local communities.
