For years, the topic of student/teacher romances has fascinated filmmakers far beyond the made-for-TV movie about Mary Kay Letourneau (a quick reminder for those who don't remember or know about Mary Kay Letorneau…Mary Kay Letourneau was a highly respected elementary school teacher who began a sexual affair with a 13-year-old student. Even when facing criminal charges and public scandal, this wife and mother couldn't stop her obsessive feelings for the teen who eventually became her husband). This fascinating subject is, of course, the topic of my debut novel, Sweetest Taboo. However, before delving into next week's blog topic (which will highlight my inspiration, as an author, to weave a sordid and illicit tale in Sweetest Taboo), I thought it would be interesting to identify just how many recent 'pop culture' films have been produced about these taboo and yet fascinating romances. Below is a Top Ten list of relatively recent inter-generational student/teacher romances that challenge social norms and mores.
Lolita is, by far, my favorite (both the literary work and film adaptation)! Respond with your favorite/s, or with your thoughts on these relationships…or which one of these appears to be the most taboo of them all. I welcome all (clean and respectful) thoughts and views.
1. Election
In the satirical Election, civics teacher Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick) wants to take down conniving overachiever Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon) in the high-school election, after Flick seduces a fellow teacher and causes him to lose his job.
2. Notes on a Scandal
Art teacher Sheba (Cate Blanchett) falls for a charming 15-year-old student and into a sordid affair in Notes on a Scandal — but a fellow teacher (Judi Dench) uses her knowledge of their liaisons to blackmail Sheba into a friendship.
3. Wonder Boys
Professor Tripp (Michael Douglas) tempts fate by allowing his student Hannah (Katie Holmes) to rent a room in his house, but he successfully rebuffs her advances in Wonder Boys. Meanwhile, his prize pupil James (Tobey Maguire) ends up in the sack with Tripp's book editor (Robert Downey Jr.).
4. Rushmore
In the coming-of-age comedy Rushmore, Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) starts pining for teacher Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams) around the time he befriends a father figure named Herman Blume (Bill Murray), who also develops a crush on Ms. Cross.
5. The Second Chance
As an admissions officer at Columbia University inPS, Louise Harrington (Laura Linney) meets a man many years her junior (Topher Grace), who happens to have the same face, talents, and even name as her deceased high-school sweetheart. True love reincarnate?
6. Summer School
In Summer School, Courtney Thorne-Smith's Pam assumes that her too-cool-for-school teacher (Mark Harmon) might consider her a love interest, since he has a 21-year-old girlfriend, but Mr. Shoop doesn't cross the line.
7. The Reader
In The Reader, the young Michael (David Kross) is a sort-of surrogate teacher, introducing the older Hanna (Kate Winslet) to the world of erudite literature, while she offers him lessons in something else entirely.
8. The Squid and the Whale
In The Squid and the Whale, Prof. Bernard Berkman brags that while many of his students have made passes at him, he's never had an affair with a student. But things get complicated when he rents a room to a sexy coed played by Anna Paquin.
9. Never Been Kissed
Josie (Drew Barrymore) is going undercover as a high-school student in Never Been Kissed on assignment for a Chicago paper. So when sparks fly between her and her teacher (Michael Vartan) it's actually age-appropriate.
Though the famous relationship between Humbert Humbert and his Lolita isn't a student-teacher affair, Humbert loses her at the hands of playwright Clare Quilty when he sees Lolita perform one of his plays at her school.

Manny Pacquiao pulled a Mayweather, and stepped in it, in mid May. The Congressman gave an interview to a pro-am writer, who had a Bible-pushing agenda. The writer asked Manny (pictured above with his pastor, Jeric Soriano, at the Wild Card in May) how he felt about gay marriage and the born-again hitter gave it a heavy thumbs down.
A charged passage from Leviticus was cited, and Pacquiao had to explain that he didn't recite that to the writer. The boxer came out--LOL--and explained he didn't hate gays, and didn't see an erosion of his fanbase. His skills, that was another matter entirely, some said.

How the Latitude Assessment Changed My Life – in Reverse

Dominica (January 2015)

Mongolia (2010 Summer)
Students spent one week in China and eight weeks in Mongolia exploring the connections between physical, biological, and human environments. They drew connections between geology, the natural history of Mongolia, and Mongolian culture.
In the Hangay Mountains, students climbed up into an extinct volcanic cone, observed features formed by glaciers, and swam under a beautiful waterfall cascading over a basalt cliff. They drove into the Gobi Altai Mountains to the south to see fissures in the ground and a huge landslide caused by a large earthquake over 50 years ago, and then traveled farther south into the desert steppes and Gobi Desert exploring for fossils. They also trekked in the high Altai Mountains in the northwestern part of Mongolia where they camped next to glaciers that flowed down the valleys between the peaks.

Most low-cost SSL certificate providers really only verify that you control a domain name. For those types of certificates, rather than pay a third party to verify that I control the DNS records for the domain, why not "sign" the certificate in DNS? If I generate a keypair on a server and publish the same public key in DNS for the hostname, I'd think that would be an equivalent level of security.
I see two problems with the design, but both seem minimal:
- EA certificates and the higher-level certs that verify personal/corporate details can't be done this way. Organizations wishing to pay to get the green bar in browsers are free to continue doing so.
- A malicious network with rogue DNS servers could redirect you to both a different hostname and a different trusted SSL certificate. Perhaps DNSSEC could take care of this repudiation problem?
I'm not aware of any browsers implementing something like this, but it seems like it would be a good method to at least get a trusted, encrypted connection without displaying the dreaded "Untrusted certificate" dialog. Aside from the issues I noted above and existing commercial certification authorities fighting the idea, are there any other reasons doing this would be a bad idea?

45 belt drive
Fri Aug 03, 2012 5:24 pm
looking for any advice to help with instlation of belt drive.looking for input from those who have installed them.any tips or tricks would be very much appricated.
thanks steve
Re: 45 belt drive
Sat Aug 04, 2012 10:07 pm
A 45 is quite different than a Big Twin in that the transmission is basically in a fixed position so the majority of adjustment must come from tweaking the engine mounting to get good alignment. The belt needs to run true both in acceleration and deceleration modes and not crawl to either side.
Re: 45 belt drive
Sun Aug 05, 2012 5:36 pm
thanks for the reply robbie,i was leaning toward making the adjustments in the motor end of it.i cleaned up the channel that the transmission sets in and was able to get a little bit there and made a small adjustment on the motor and everything worked out.
thanks steve
Re: 45 belt drive
Sun Aug 05, 2012 5:39 pm
I run a belt on my 45. Can't remember what brand of conversion it is. May-be "Big Fix". I never had any alignment problems. It has always run true. I thought that I had the belt too tight. I took the time to check tension on a lot of automobile external timing belts. I now run it tensioned but NOT tight. Iv'e done 2500 miles on it, but can't comment on issues regards premature wear on the trans and engine bearings, that others have concerns about. I had problems with hard shifting, and managed to recitfy this by installing the (60) standard WLA ball bearings back into the clutch, and do away with the rollers. Rollers dont allow for lateral movement between the drum and hub like the standard balls do. There is a bit of drum wobble, when the clutch is disengaged, but belt seems to run true. I'm happy with the setup for now. Time and miles will tell.
Cheers Keith

You got lucky Keith. Robbie's explanation mentions the fixed alignment issue which is the first critical part of good belt drive aligning. The other 45 transmission issues is hardly ever thought of though. No two 45 transmissions have the same clutch hub or clutch basket location specifications in regards to the transmission case and where the clutch basket sits in relation to the engine. The clutch gear determines that location and the clutch gear in all 45 transmissions never extends away from the transmission case the same distance. Depending on the parts, such as the clutch gear, the clutch gear roller bearing race, the clutch gear thrust bearing and it's race, and the machining of the case itself, determines how far out, or in, the clutch basket will be located at final assembly. I noted the clutch gear primarily because of all the critical machine work it incorporated on it. Even the spline work on the clutch gear has determining atributes to clutch basket location because it locates the clutch hub.
Re: 45 belt drive
Sun Aug 05, 2012 7:08 pm
I would have thought all clutch gears #2513-41 would have been manufactured the exact same dimensions. Same with the case. Same with the roller bearing and the thrust bearing. Hhmm!!! If that is in fact the case then, I would be looking at cutting out the tapered centre of the motor sprocket, and rewelding it up with the correct offset to match the clutch, if this can be done successfully. Just a thought.
The alignment, or positioning adjustment available with the motor, and trans, surely would be very very limited. Especially the motor. If the frame slots are not worn, and the correct locating dowels used, there should be no trans play available.
My motor pulley has like a disc on the inboard and outboard sides, so the belt doesn't run off. The clutch basket has a similar thing on the outboard side only.
My belt runs against the outboard side of the motor pulley. The nice squared edge of the new belt has now worn the corners off slightly, but the belt width still verniers up at 25mm exactly. Like I said, miles will tell. I'm expecting 40,000 miles from my setup. Hopefully!!
ps Is this topic regards fitment of the tin primary cover??

No two cases are alike. Nor are most of the other internal parts exactly alike. If they were alike, 45 transmissions would not have to be completely fitted throughout assembly. There would be no need for spacer sets on the mainshaft or on shifter fork assemblies. There would also be no need for roller bearing sets. Clutch gear roller bearing surfaces were held within .0005" on the diameters but shoulder lengths were not held as closely as roller bearing diameters. If all machining of cases and internals were exactly the same, assembly would be the only task in producing a 45 transmission.
Chain is forgiving and will run within a limited amount of descrepancy in location and it curves the differences between complete 45 transmission assemblies. belt drives need more precise alignment. The flanges on belt drive pullies are not intended to guide the belt. They are intended to keep the belt from jumping off of the pulleys during flex. If poor alignment causes the belt to use the pulley flanges as guides, the belt will wear out very quickly.
I like the idea you brought up for the sprocket modification in the taper. I am sure one could gain closer alignment with that fix as long as the move did not take away other needed clearances. The thought of modifying the taper sure beats the thought of modifying a frame.

Jubilation over Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo's second place finish during Sunday's Australian Formula One Grand Prix at Albert Park in Melbourne, turned to outrage and sorrow, when officials decided to disqualify him after a 5- hour debate. According to the stewards, Ricciardo's car had consistently gone over the maximum allowed fuel flow and that the team refused an instruction from the race's technical delegate Charlie Whiting to change the fuel-flow sensor before the race and a further request during the race to reduce the fuel flow."
Ricciardo, 24, replaced Mark Webber on the Red Bull Team this season. His second place finish was the first time an Australian had achieved a position on the podium in a "home town" race, and Red Bull team owner Christian Horner was quick to exonerate him of any blame in the technical dispute.
The decision moved third place finisher Kevin Magnussen up to second place in his debut race, and gave his teammate at McLaren Jenson Button the third spot behind winner Nico Rosberg.
"I had an unbelievably quick car today," said Rosberg, who win by 24.5 seconds."It was such a pleasure to drive, it's such a great feeling and I really look forward to the new races."
Rosberg's father Keke won the inaugural Australian F1 GP in 1985.
In the meantime, Red Bull announced that it was appealing the judgement, citing the fact, "Inconsistencies with the FIA fuel flow meter have been prevalent all weekend up and down the pit lane," a Red Bull statement said. "The team and (engine supplier) Renault are confident the fuel supplied to the engine is in full compliance with the regulations."

The Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson feels amazing after a stunning 42-pound weight loss during the past five months.
Ferguson, 54, decided to overhaul her diet and start working out daily after getting frustrated with her dowdy appearance and poor health. She said being overweight made her feel helpless.
"I was just drowning in eating, drowning in food," Sarah told Hello! "I used to be so angry; I believed that I had lost control. I couldn't fit into any of my clothes."
Ferguson, who has battled weight issues all her life, was hurt by the cruel media fat-shaming she endured every time she was photographed at a public event.
"It took courage to go out in public in all the years I have been overweight," said Sarah. "Every time there was a 'Duchess of Pork' or 'Fat, Frumpy Fergie' headline, they didn't have any idea they were reaching to the depths of my soul."
The mom of two said the turning point came when she realized she weighed as much as she did while pregnant. "That really frightened me," said the Duchess. "Beatrice was an 8-lb 8-oz baby and I was only six pounds off my full-blown pregnancy weight. I decided to make a change."
Ferguson embarked on a diet and exercise regimen in October 2013. The 5-foot-8 Sarah, who once tipped the scales at over 220 pounds, cut sugar out of her diet and ran every day. "I went up to the mountains, and I ran every day," she said. "That's how I got fit."
Ferguson discussed her weight-loss, emotional overeating and personal struggles in her memoir, Finding Sarah: A Duchess's Journey to Find Herself.

Jersey Boys is a biopic in all of the best and worst ways possible. Hell, it's a four-way biopic, detailing the lives of the members of the popular 1960s rock group The Four Seasons. Based on the popular musical of the same name and directed by Clint Eastwood, Jersey Boys seeks to tell your standard dizzying highs and terrifying lows that come with being a rock star, Jersey style of course.
The movie is passable, sure to be enjoyed on airplanes and boring Saturday nights. Things begin with a young Frankie Valli (John Lloyd Young), a seemingly sweet teenager with a lovely voice. Frankie lives in a Catholic house that displays a picture of the pope and Sinatra on the same level. He also runs with a crew that is prone to coming and going in prisons. His apparent best friend Tommy (Vincent Piazza) is chief among this group, but he also encourages Frankie. In between lines about how to pick up dames, Tommy reminds Frankie to practice his singing.
Eventually, Frankie and Tommy form a band that sings in various New Jersey lounges. They do well, yet can't breakout of being small change. Fortunes change, new band members come along and, as things go, The Four Seasons go from nobodies to the multiple time chart-toppers.
As happens with the biopic business, especially ones about musicians, Jersey Boys plays out as kind of been there, done that. Are there drugs? Yep. Women hired to have sex with the innocent guy? Definitely. How about some infighting? Damn straight. There's also a catalogue of stupendous songs for the foursome to belt out at various times, each one a toe-tapper and presented expertly by Eastwood. When The Four Seasons in this film are just starting out, it's all about that unique Valli voice, though eventually the whole troop is an energetic joy. For every single time the film falls flat due to a lack of depth in the characters, a standard when you cram decades into hours, we still have those songs.
The performances are largely solid. Piazza is an engaging presence, giving the big talk about his business and worldly know-how a shade of insecurity and jealousy. Piazza nails the bubbling unhappiness that plays out as his grasp over Frankie's direction in life dissipates. Christopher Walken has a towering presence as a mob-boss the boys occasionally turn to that is always a welcome element to the proceedings. Young's Valli is not as much of a homerun. Young can sing the part, there is no doubt there. His more dramatic beats, admittedly hampered by a screenplay that doesn't flesh the man out, don't reach for as many notes as that voice. He squints or shouts and not a lot else.
Eastwood presents it all in his standard fashion; quiet and simply. The occasional comedic divergences click appropriately and the handful of fourth-wall breaking asides its characters make transition smoothly. Altogether, it's a movie one won't regret watching, nor is it worth going out of one's way to catch up with.
Jersey Boys opens in Seattle tomorrow.

Hi I have a small test network that I'm using to do some number crunching for my dissertation. My network consists of three machines with intel gigabit network cards (all em drivers with two hosts setup as laggs) with default MTU settings etc... running Freebsd 9.1 and mpich2.
when I run mpdringtest I get latencies of:
time for 1 loops = 0.00105500221252 seconds
time for 2 loops = 0.101227998734 seconds
time for 3 loops = 0.200784921646 seconds
time for 4 loops = 0.300806045532 seconds
time for 10 loops = 0.942656040192 seconds
time for 100 loops = 11.5054900646 seconds
the network latency is:
Max Latency:
from \ to city17 glados blackmesa
city17 0.335 0.739
glados 0.319 0.689
blackmesa 0.992 0.746
Mean Latency:
from \ to city17 glados blackmesa
city17 0.205 0.525
glados 0.195 0.518
blackmesa 0.599 0.503
for hosts
Based on my assumptions each loop should take approximately about the sum of the upper or lower triangular portion of the mean latency matrix (attained via ping). This seems to match the one ring results. However for more than one ring the latency seems to increase considerably. I read the manpage on this topic and it didn't really explain much besides saying it passed a message around in a ring. Are these results fairly normal w.r.t. latency and mdpringresults?
The switch is an HP procurve 1810g-8 if it matters (no other traffic is running through the switch).

Thursday, May 29, 2014: Today you've sort of entered a time warp, where common everyday events seem to be moving in slow motion, and distortions are possible, so... tread gently and carefully... the stage is being set for something new.
Changes to the background against which your personal life plays out are taking place, and as the shifts are happening you and everyone else will feel a bit diffused, confused and wobbly.
Honor today's l-o-n-g Void-of-course Moon in Gemini (5:59 am - 10:13 am EDT tomorrow) by settling back and giving everyone, including yourself, room to vacillate and consider some outlandish possibilities... take mental notes... but remember that when you're under the influence (metaphorically speaking) life can get curious.
Today's Quote
For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again. ~ Eric Roth, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button screenplay

The Silent Oligarch
ISBN13:by Jones, Christopher Morgan
Penguin Press HC, The
A London intelligence agent pursues a money launderer to expose the dealings of a shadowy Russian oligarch. In a world where national borders shrink to insignificance in the face of colossal wealth and corporate power, The Silent Oligarchoffers a new kind of hero to combat a new kind of crime. Drawing on his decade of experience at the world's largest corporate intelligence firm-where the wealthy buy the justice they want and the silence they need-Chris Morgan Jones leads us down into the unvarnished realities of our time in the grand tradition of John le Carré. Bearing news from a world hidden behind closed doors, The Silent Oligarcheffortlessly creates a new genre in its wake. Deep in the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources sits a nondescript bureaucrat named Konstantin Malin. He draws a nominal government salary but from his shabby office controls half the nation's oil industry, making him one of the most wealthy and feared men in Russia. His public face is Richard Lock, a hapless money launderer bound to Malin by marriage, complacency, and greed. Lock takes the proceeds of his master's corruption, washes them abroad, and invests them back in Russia in a secret business empire. He knows little about Malin's true affairs, but still he knows too much. Benjamin Webster is an investigator at a London corporate intelligence firm. Years before, as an idealistic young journalist in Russia, Webster saw a colleague murdered for asking too many hard questions of powerful people; her true killers have never been found. Hired to ruin Malin, Webster comes to realize that this shadowy figure might have ordered her gruesome death, and that this case may deliver the justice he has been seeking for a decade. As Webster peels back the layers of Malin's shell companies and criminal networks, Lock's colleagues begin dying mysteriously, police around the world start to investigate, and Malin begins to question his trust in his increasingly exposed frontman. Suddenly Lock is running for his life- though from Malin or Webster, the law or his own past, he couldn't say. Leading us into a world we can know little about, The Silent Oligarchis the brilliant overture of a major new literary talent.

The June WWE pay-per-view is "Money in the Bank," which has traditionally held two Money in the Bank ladder matches to determine who will fight for the WWE and world titles. Since those two titles were combined into one title last year, there will just be one Money in the Bank ladder match at this year's event. According to Wrestling News Source on Friday, the frontrunner to win the WWE match is Cesaro.
Ever since they moved Cesaro from Zeb Colter and the Real Americans to Paul Heyman, he has been earmarked for the main event. Strangely, Heyman was once one of the most successful managers in the WWE for many years, but his last few clients have not fared as well. The WWE put Curtis Axel with him, along with a fancy ring entrance, and he went nowhere fast. They moved Ryback to him and that was dropped quickly.
Now, Cesaro went from being a very popular villain with Zeb Colter to a wrestler who the fans don't get behind as much with Heyman by his side. There are big rumors that the WWE wants Cesaro to be their third top face wrestler when he finally breaks away from Heyman later this year. The word is that he could be third to only John Cena and Daniel Bryan in the face ranks. Of course, this also depends on how Roman Reigns is handled.
This weekend at "WWE Payback," Cesaro is set to face Sheamus for the U.S. Championship. While Cesaro has held this title before, the move to put the belt on him could help raise his stature in the WWE some. However, if he is to fight in the Money in the Bank match next month, that will mean a win could put the U.S. title on the sidelines for one pay-per-view while he fights for the briefcase.
The thought right now is that Cesaro will win the Money in the Bank match and then win the WWE World Championship when he cashes it in. This could possibly lead to his eventual split with Paul Heyman and a Brock Lesnar win down the line. With Roman Reigns earmarked for the world title, there is some thought he will fight either Lesnar or The Rock at "Wrestlemania 31" for the title.

What does it take to preserve rock and roll history? Jun Francisco knows.
Since 1999, Francisco has been the Director of Collections Management at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Born half way around the globe in the Philippines, he grew up listening to rock and roll fed to him by a radio station called "the Rock of Manila." His role allows him to be a fan and an in-demand expert.
He received his MA in Museum Studies from the University of Arkansas in Little Rock and a BA in History from Missouri Southern State University. He has worked at museums in Arkansas, Missouri, Michigan, New York and Ohio, and has served on the Boards of the Association of Midwest Museums, Arkansas Museums Association and Michigan Museums Association. He is a past chair of the Asian Pacific Professional Interest Committee of the American Alliance of Museums. He also loves the Clash.
Having just managed collections for the Rock Hall's new 2016 Hall of Fame Inductee exhibit – including a trip to Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen's house – Francisco had a few minutes to tell us about his adventures.
As the Rock Hall's director of collections, what ...
The Who continue to perform "My Generation" in their 2016 tour dates, even with that line about hoping to die before they get old. And with Mick Jagger becoming a great-grandfather in 2014, rock culture really is thumbing its nose at the idea of growing old gracefully.
So if grandpas these days can be rockers, maybe our associations of rock = rebelliousness = youth have collapsed altogether. Or perhaps we have actually become accustomed to the idea that "youth" is an attitude, not a chronological stage in the human life cycle. From that point of view, a rock & roll pose of "sticking it to the man" is available to anyone, even "the man" himself.
While the spirit of rock & roll lives on in lots of teen subcultures and inspires many new bands, it's also true that kids who grow up rocking out alongside their parents think of this music as … well, old.
If you play Metallica to your baby in the cradle, he might grow up thinking of "Enter Sandman" as a nostalgic song that brings back sweet memories of bedtime.
The recent rise in child stars who rock out note-perfect versions of Van Halen guitar solos and Keith Moon drum ...
The January 29, 1976 Rolling Stone headline read "Indonesian Nightmare Strikes Deep Purple." Journalist Peter Crescenti wrote in the opening paragraph: "Tragedy and mayhem struck the Deep Purple tour December 4th in Jakarta, Indonesia, when one of the group's road crew, Patsy Collins, a well-loved celebrity of the British rock scene and guitarist Tommy Bolin's bodyguard, was killed in a six-story fall down a service elevator shaft at the band's hotel."
It's a story steeped in Rock Hall lore and a Deep Purple story that's horrific and fascinating. The news report caught my eye as I was pulling items for the 2016 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductee exhibit, rare items from the Rock Hall's Library & Archives that tell the story of this year's inductees. But as I poured over Crescenti's original drafts (complete with edit notes) for the article that later ran in Rolling Stone, the story increasingly piqued my curiosity.
Was Collins' death was part of a set-up that included scamming the band out of the concert proceeds? Who were the eyewitnesses, and how much did they actually see? What happened to Collins' body, especially considering the fact that the ...
As a 14-year-old Inglewood high school basketball star and original member of the Cali super group Odd Future (OFWGKTA), Casey Veggies released his first mixtape, Customized Greatly, spawning a trilogy series. Benching his hoop dreams for a rap career, Veggies continued building off of his early groundwork, landing tour spots with Mac Miller, show dates with west side champs like Kendrick Lamar and Nipsey Hussle, and strategic partnerships with brands like Puma. The autobiography of Casey Veggies consumed the rap globe in the form of his 2015 major label debut LIVE & GROW, a nutritious listen of a young man's navigation through new adulthood and stardom.
The Rock Hall caught up with Casey Veggies ahead of his Sonic Sessions concert at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on February 19.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Your concert comes during the Rock Hall's Black History Month Celebration. One of our other events is a discussion on "Black Music Matters," kind of a take on the "Black Lives Matter" movement. Your track, "RIP," is dedicated to people who have lost their lives to police brutality, gang violence and other senseless violence. Like Kendrick Lamar's "Alright," do you see ...

It's been a rough start to 2016 for rock fans mourning the loss of two Hall of Fame Inductees: David Bowie and Glenn Frey. Tributes have poured in from around the globe, a testament to the lasting impact and widespread influence of the music each created. Last week, we looked back on some of the David Bowie songs that shaped rock and roll, and this week it's only fitting we rewind to one of the Eagles' most enduring hits: "Take It Easy."
Guitarist Glenn Frey was a rocker from Detroit who headed to Los Angeles, where he befriended fellow musicians Jackson Browne and John David Souther. Drummer Don Henley and Frey met while backing Linda Ronstadt. Guitarist Bernie Leadon had previously done time with Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman in the Flying Burrito Brothers; bassist Randy Meisner was a founding member of Poco with Richie Furay and had played in Rick Nelson's Stone Canyon Band. And they had all played together on Ronstadt's Silk Purse. No wonder they sounded accomplished from the get-go.
Decades later, in 2014 ...
Pictured: Jane Scott with David Bowie in the late 70s during one of his Isolar tour stops. Did you see him perform on the Isolar or Isolar II tours?
I'm an archivist at the Rock Hall's Library and Archives. I'm also a diehard music fan and collector. Bob Dylan is my all-time favorite – I've seen him in concert 60 times – but David Bowie was the first artist that I collected on vinyl. I believe that Bowie is one of those artists whose work should be owned in its original format, if only because of the cover art and sense that you're holding a piece of history. Unfortunately, I never saw Bowie in concert and didn't dive into his entire catalog as so many fans did, and yet, now that he is gone, I realize just how much he was a presence in my life. And this week, it just so happened that my job created a collision of Bowie, Cleveland, and women in rock journalism.
My days involve a fair amount of detective work, such as forming connections between documents to describe a moment in rock history. One collection that will provide endless opportunities ...
Before I saw David Bowie live, I was just your normal, dysfunctional, rebellious teenager from the Midwest, and he has truly changed my life.
I've always had a sentimental attachment to David Bowie, not just because I grew up with his music, but it's because it was the first rock concert that I ever saw, and it was a major event in my life. I planned for months to go and see it. I was 15 years old, it was the end of the school year, and leading up to the week of the show, I begged my father and he said, "I absolutely refuse, over my dead body, you're not going there, that's where horrible people hang out," so of course I had to go. So my best friend spent the night at my house and when we thought everyone was asleep, we snuck out of my window, which was no mean feat, as I was wearing my highest platform shoes and a long black-silk cape. Don't ask.
We couldn't drive, so we hitch-hiked into Detroit and I don't know who was scarier ... the drivers that picked us up, or us in ...
I was just an elementary school kid when I first heard "Dance to the Music," Sly and the Family Stone's first hit single, in spring 1968. The song was on the radio all the time. If it wasn't on the Top 40/pop stations WIXY or CKLW, you just had to dial up to WJMO or WABQ, the R&B/ soul stations, to hear Cynthia Robinson's cheeky introductory demand: "Get up and dance to the music! Get on up and dance to the funky music!"
Cynthia Robinson was one half of the horn section of the Family Stone and the de facto MC – that's MC in the early days of hip-hop sense – the "mic controller" who would punctuate dance tracks with enjoinders to "get up" or "get down" to the music to keep dancers engaged and moving on their feet. Cynthia was doing it 10 years before the Sugarhill Gang or Grandmaster Flash dropped their first beat.
That's just one more way that Cynthia was ahead of her time, a pioneer, showing the rest of us the way. She was a strong female presence in a band – not a vocalist, as was the usual position ...

rock midgets home -> features -> interviews
The latest on work on their new album, and more...
The last time Rock Midgets interviewed The Ghost of a Thousand (Click HERE to read), the band had just put out their stunning debut album This is Where The Fight Begins to widespread critical acclaim (Click HERE for our glowing review). Twelve wildly successful months down the line, after racking up a host of tours since with the likes of Alexisonfire, Poison The Well and Gallows, the Brighton-based five-piece have barely been off the road for a minute as they sought to continue building on the early momentum.
With February seeing the band embark on their first ever full headlining tour of the country, bringing along Blackhole, The Plight and Hexes in tow, Dan Jones grabbed a few minutes with guitarist Andy Blyth before their show at the Camden Barfly to discuss the past year's endeavours and how their second album is shaping up:
This evening marks the seventh night of the tour, how's it gone so far?
It has been really good, all four bands are playing really well. Watching all the other bands every night - they're all great bands and good mates with us - so it makes us want to be the best band we can. There's been really good turn outs and lot of kids in the shows, so it's been a lot of fun.
Did you know the other bands that well before the start of the tour?
Yeah, we've toured with Gallows so we'd met most of the Blackhole boys through that. At Reading and Leeds they were there, I know Richard [Blackhole vocalist] quite well so we knew those boys. We'd played with The Plight before once in Leeds but we didn't really know them and then obviously we know Daniel Carter [Hexes] from the Radio 1 Rock Show.
He has supported you quite a bit hasn't he?
Yeah, he's really, really been behind us since day one so it's good to have him on the road with us.
I interviewed you guys twelve months ago and Jag mentioned in two years time you'd like to be headlining venues like the Barfly, and here we are a year later and you already are. Things appear to be going ahead of schedule for you.
Last year we just dedicated it to touring as much we could. This tour came around and we were really apprehensive about doing it just because it was our first headline tour. We didn't know how the turn outs would be or how well we'd be received, but it's worked out well and it does feel good. We've all said to each other in the van, it really is nice to see an end product after last year's hard work
You've just come off the longest break you've had for a while, did it feel good?
We really actually haven't had any time off. The last thing we did was the Alexisonfire tour which was in November and ever since then we've just been at home in Brighton writing our second album.
How's the writing been going?
We're really, really looking forward to writing the second album because, you know, it's cool playing the first album but for us it's getting a little bit [groans slightly]
And wasn't the first album finished about six months before even it got released?
Yeah, and some of those songs on the album were written like two years before the album even got recorded so they're quite old songs for us and so it's really exciting to do something new. We're changing the sound a little bit, but I think that it's a natural progression.
So what's it shaping up like?
It's sort of gone more rock'n'rolly less hardcore. It's a little bit more melodic, it's a little bit more groove based and a less technical than the first album.
Have you started playing any new tracks live yet?
Yeah, we've been playing one new track on this tour which has been really well received so we're really stoked about that.
What's it called?
It hasn't actually got a title yet, it's just called new song [laughs]. It's good to play new stuff.
How many new tracks have you got in the locker so far?
We've got that one that we're playing and then we've got a library of riff ideas and song ideas 'cos Jag, our other guitarist, has got a home studio so we've just been getting down rough ideas and riffs. So we've got quite a library now so when we get off this tour we're going to try and piece together some other tracks and work on existing ones we've had for a couple of months now.
So when this tour comes to an end, is that when you're hoping to sit down in earnest and start working on the album?
Yeah, we've demoed up a few songs anyway, but we're looking forwards to do more demos of new songs and really analyse them, and not be anal about it, but we're sort of perfectionists when it comes to the band, so we'll record a song and listen back to it and try and make it the best it can be.
Have you got any timescale in place for when you want to start recording?
Not really as of yet. We just want to write the best record possible and not rush it. Because the first album felt a little bit rushed, it was like you've got ten songs, now go in the studio, you've got twelve days to do it and then it was done. We want to make sure the process isn't compromised this time so we're trying to take more care and effort to really craft the songs.
You've toured almost relentlessly this past year, what would you say has been the highlight. Earlier today on YouTube I was watching you guys play Brixton Academy on the Alexisonfire tour, that must have been great?
Yeah, that was a massive, massive high for this year. Playing Brixton, playing Manchester Academy, playing all the venues with Alexisonfire just because they're so big. But that's great and everything, but at the same time for a band like us, because the music is so fast and aggressive it doesn't really translate well in large venues. Although that was a massive high and a massive support slot to get, that tour that we did in the summer with The Zico Chain and Flood of Red, that three week tour of little venues, that was also a really good time and one of the highs. Hanging out for three weeks with some good guys and playing some small shows which was cool.
What are your touring plans for the rest of the year? Have you got any festival appearances lined up?
We haven't arranged any festivals this year, hopefully we'll do the festivals next year after the second album has come out rather than play the same set that we played at Download, Reading and Leeds this past year. We don't want to do it all again. So really we're just trying to get a few tours lined up, we've got that Reuben tour in April and then any time off we're going to write and demo songs really.
Finally, are you happy with the way things have grown for you this past year?
Yeah, I think there's been a natural progression. I don't think we were ever going to be one of these bands who were an overnight sensation and the fact that we haven't had the hype machine propelling us to stardom and the fact that we built it up slowly means a lot to us.

So, I boot up my netbook...and the main screen comes on, announcing Acer and whatnot. Then, it goes to to a black screen with a cursor in the upper left hand corner that blinks. For a long time.
Then a screen pops up. Generally it says something like this:
mount: mounting /dev/disk/by
and a lot of stuff following that
A lot of it involves:
/root/sys failed: no such file or directory and target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init." No init found. Try passing init = bootarg.
What can I do? I'm fairly certain my netbook is functioning, but is my software not? Is this a matter of reinstalling, or can I do something else to fix?
