This is one of my earliest songs. I first wrote it around 1978 but with a filler last verse. Set it aside for several years and came back to it.
I wrote a good replacement last verse in 1982 and recorded the song for the first time back then.
This video was recorded on 7-13-07.
Previously posted on my now closed gilchannel account, this video now features newly remastered audio. A long overdue update.

Hi Gil;
Surfing the AGC site on this rainy day in Florida and came across some of your posts and checked out this video. Great song and sound, I enjoyed it. It takes me back to a sound of days past from a group called America and their song A Horse With No Name. Your sound is definitely different and your own, but yet similar in some ways.
I just started a group for Small Body Guitars and Other Sizes last week here on AGC, drop by sometime.
Keep up the great sound!
its got a different sound gil can't put my finger on it but it's dentfully good again good job gil,oak

Gianyar Remains to Hold Ogoh-Ogoh Parade
Celebration of the Ngerupuk (Mar 30), a day before the Nyepi Day 2014 (Mar 31) in Gianyar County is ascertained to be festive. It followed the issuance of the circular that allowed the making and parading of the ogoh-ogoh or papier mâché demon at the Pengerupukan night. Previously, the customary village youth (Sekaa Taruna) worried if the making and parading of the ogoh-ogoh would be prohibited for the reasons of general election.
It is supported by the presence of the circular regarding the celebration of the Nyepi Day in the Saka New Year 1936 No.300/008/BID.II/BKPL/2014 signed by Regional Secretary Gianyar Ida Bagus Gaga Adi Saputra on behalf of the Regent of Gianyar. "The making and parading of the ogoh-ogoh must comply with the requirement," said the Head of Gianyar national unity, politics and public protection agency (Kesbangpollinmas), I Ketut Arthawa.
Design or embodiment of the ogoh-ogoh, explained Arthawa, should be adapted to the Hindu literature, and would not be allowed to use the characters or manifestation of the Pandavas, Rama and the like which symbolized goodness. It neither used the characters identifying the attributes associated with politics and political parties, both in the form of ogoh-ogoh or other accompaniment attributes.
The ogoh-ogoh parade should only be organized within the territory of respective customary village. Meanwhile, if it would pass through the other customary village territory, it should be made coordination with the officers of the customary village passed or the relevant security force. Besides, the parade should also be accompanied with Balinese gamelan music to reflect the tradition of Balinese art and culture. Then, it would not be allowed to kindle firecrackers or similar items generating booming sounds that could disturb the security and public order.
Regional Secretary Ida Bagus Gaga Adi Saputra conveyed the chief of customary village with all the elements of leadership would be fully responsible for the security and order associated with the implementation of the ogoh-ogoh parade. The unregistered ogoh-ogoh would not be allowed to join the ogoh-ogoh parade activities. (BTN/015)

Things to Know: Cellphones (part two)Tokyo, Spring 2012
In this post I would like to discuss both the IES method of procuring a cellphone, and the method I used when I was last in Japan. 1. The IES Method (Picell) Pros: Incoming calls are cheap. SMS messages (incoming & outgoing) are cheap. Free calls to anyone else using the same plan (I'm not entirely positive on this, so don't quote me!). You can make international calls (but they're expensive!). IES brings the company to you, so signing up is super easy! Cons: Ugly (friends complained about quality…and it is a really ugly phone), rented phone (if you break it, you buy it!). Outgoing calls are not so cheap. No data usage. All in all, this method is probably the best if you don't intend to talk on the phone (particularly to your Japanese friends). If you simply text back and forth, you're good to go! I had a few friends that got by paying very little on this plan (around 15 dollars a month?) and then other friends who really paid for it (over a hundred dollars for a month). So, before you chose this plan, think hard about whether or not you intend to use your phone like crazy. 2. My method (prepaid phone) Pros: Your very own pretty phone! Free incoming and outgoing SMS! Free email from phone to phone, or phone to computer (VERY helpful for when I wanted to just shoot my mom a message and didn't have access to a computer. She could also message me back to my phone, so it was like we were texting each other!). Free incoming calls. You control how much money you use. Cons: Initial phone cost is expensive. Outgoing calls are (very) expensive. No data. A few of us used this method during my first semester abroad and we all loved it. We got to buy our own phone, which meant if we wanted a really awesome, high tech phone, we could get it! My phone (the cheapest option!) cost me around $130 dollars, but it had a super nice camera, tons of features, and was sleek and cool-looking. I got to personalize it with all the stickers I wanted, too. I was able to control the amount of money I put on the phone ($30 and $50 phone cards available) and as long as I didn't make any calls, my level of money stayed the same. However, if you intend to use this method, there is one thing you should know: you must apply for the phone WITHIN the airport (at the Softbank center). This process can take up to 2 hours and they usually don't speak great English. If you don't apply for it in the airport, you will have to wait until you get your foreigner registration card, which may not be issued until after the deadline IES has set for procuring a cellphone. I had a few friends who got the Picell phone first, then got their card, and then went to buy their own prepaid phone - so you can do it that way as well. Oh, and I almost forgot. You must be 20 years of age OR have a friend willing to put the phone under their name for you (I had to do it for a friend). For those of you who are going to be in the same program as I am and would like to use the second method, I will be more than happy to meet with you and step you through it.

I am doing the society and culture course with Kanda. Is the arrival date different than the Meikai one? If so than I can use your instructions. My arrival date is March 27th.
Personally, I would love to wait for you. I just didn't want you to expect me when I was not there. I didn't want to be an unexpected hassle. Thank you.

I woke up with a bluescreen which is not uncommon for whatever reason (truecrypt probably). Apparently in an Eclipse project's classes folder, a package folder is being displayed by windows as having an ever increasing number of files (when viewing folder properties, the files never stop growing) with the size on disk being multiple terrabytes. It's not possible to delete this folder or view its contents. It says:
Cannot delete ges-table.es. Cannot find the specified file.
This is in a mounted TrueCrypt file.
This is related to:
My question is how to delete this folder.

Tim Russert Dies
Well, now what are we going to do? Russert was the only one who actually knew what was going on. :p
Rest in peace, Tim. :)
I had signed up for text messages from Meet The Press. These normally arrive about 2pm on Fridays. Today, I happened to have left my phone in the car and after long day at work and fighting with the forums I was shocked into disbelief to read:
Plus he was a good dad and loved his own dad a great deal. I have his book "Wisdom of Our Fathers". It's just really sad to me, and I'm a little surprised that it's affected me this much.
Edit: I never said it to myself and actually only now do I realize it: he's been a hero for me for years.
I was remembering earlier on the Sunday before Super Tuesday, Russert rubbed his hands together with glee, turned to his guests and said, "We got a lot to talk about today! It's Christmas!" :lol: Only Russert would equate the two.
I just remember watching him on the news the other day. :(
Rest in peace Tim.
Very unfortunate.
RIP, Tim Russert.
I heard it talked about on the radio and realized before they said he died that must have been what happened. Mostly from the somewhat somber tone. Only had to wait for the name to realize who it was. Only 58. Ashame, he probably had a good 15-20 years left to give to his career under happier circumstances.
I enjoyed his commentary and analysis very much, and I will miss his insights. My heart goes out to his family and friends. I can only imagine the pain they must feel at losing a family member and friend at such a young age.
I never really knew him, or had even heard of him, until now. Only now do I realize the importance in people's lives that he has served.
Tim 'The Man' Russert. If I had an opportunity to meet anyone in life, I would had loved to have known him personally. During the Monica events of President Clinton, I became interested in watching "Meet the Press". Mr. Russert was an all out intellegant and caring individual. We have lost an individual who can never truely be replaced. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
"If its Sunday, its Meet the Press."
The Source
I heard about it over the weekend. A great blow to journalism, IMO. Tim Russert had to be the most impartial and therefore credible personality in network news. He grilled politicians from both parties equally with the tenacity of a pit bull. A true professional, he made viewers think without trying to tell them what to think. He will never be replaced.
Russert would've been enjoying the past couple of days.
I would wager that Chuck Todd takes his spot when Brokaw steps aside, given the way Todd helped cover the election in a fashion reminiscent of Tim.
I would have loved to see Russert moderate one of the debates--I think he would have been able to tease out a lot more information from both candidates than the other moderators were able to. I think he would have been horrified by some of the blatantly unashamed media fawning over Obama, and to be fair been equally horrified by the fawning over McCain by conservative media.
Hannity declared that true journalism died in Election 2008. I think it died when Tim Russert died.
I would have loved to have heard Russerts opinion on the significances of America electing an African-American to the highest office in the land. I really believe Russert would have captured what I was feeling in my heart, but unable to articulate.
This is not saying that Russert would have been fawning over Obama. I do believe he would have captured the importance of the night for America.
I did TV productions in high school. So I have to at least give props to Tim.
However I left the field by the end of high school because I wasn't cut out for all the conniving backstabbing scum. You work 4 years to becoming director learning all the things about leadership, then some kiss @$$ charms his way ahead of you. Nobody listened to him, because he didn't have anybody's respect either. So he was just some retorting grumpy punk.
As far as Russert, he kept all the minions in place and asked all the tough questions that needed to be asked. Iron nosed. I respect that and I will miss that aspect of his journalism.

I was ringside shooting a video when it all happened. With the fighters still in the ring and the announcement of the scorecards seconds away, it was the perfect backdrop for my recap.
The MGM Grand Arena crowd was vibing — a predominantly pro-Manny Pacquiao crowd plausibly content with another remarkable performance by the Filipino boxing icon, merely waiting for ring announcer Michael Buffer to announce the fight's winner and cue in their "Manny! Manny! Manny!" chants before they head home and call it another great night of boxing.
Buffer proceeded to reading the judges' scorecards, and then the boxing world would turn upside down thereafter.
"Judge Jerry Roth scored the bout 115-113 for Pacquiao," Buffer initially announced.
Crowd cheers, deadline-writers stood pat, itching to get the last few numbers to complete their recap at press row, Pacquiao's camera-hungry entourage were jockeying for position for their chance to videobomb his post-fight interview as they all waited for the next scores. Things seemed like they were going to go down as expected and all that remained were the formalities.
But something else happened.
"Judge C.J. Ross scores the bout 115-113 for Bradley," Buffer then continued. Pacquiao bowed his head, perplexed and seemingly unsure if he heard the numbers right. The arena reacted with a mixture of cheers from the Bradley supporters, and dumbfounded looks from the rest.
"And judge Duane Ford scored it 115-113 for the winner by split decision..." Buffer paused, the suspense hanging with his breath.
"And the new!!!" he proceeded and then announced Bradley as the winner. The crowd absorbed and protested the decision with a chorus of boos, while Pacquiao could only helplessly look around him for answers. Bradley on the other hand looked like a kid who just opened his gifts on Christmas morning and found a Playstation 4 with his name on it as he ran to the corner to celebrate what appeared to have been a gift from the boxing gods.
Everyone knows about the controversy behind Pacquiao and Bradley's first fight, but only a few can recall how each round really unfolded. A plethora of theories surrounded the decision — from conspiracies involving the promoter, Bob Arum, to the mafia and gambling odds, down to judges getting back at Pacquiao for causing a delay to the start of the fight, because he was allegedly watching Game 7 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals between the Miami Heat and his favorite team, the Boston Celtics.
Some called it "the worst decision in boxing history," and Arum, for his part, blasted the judges at the post-fight press conference. I wasn't able to find a single soul at the fight, at press row, nor around the MGM bars and lobby that night who thought Bradley won.
"Can you believe that? Unbelievable!" Arum chided as he labeled the decision makers anywhere from being "blind" and "senile". "I went over to Bradley before the decision and he said, 'I tried hard but I couldn't beat the guy,'" Arum spieled.
Ringside punching statistics supported the masses with Pacquiao landing 253 punches to 159 for Bradley. Compubox had Pacquiao landing more punches in 10 of the 12 rounds.
So what happened?
With the rematch approaching on Saturday, April 12, I reviewed the HBO telecast of the fight on mute (to avoid being influenced by commentary) from start to finish for this piece to try and find an angle on how Bradley could possibly come out with a split decision win.
Round-by-round review
Round one: The first round started with both fighters sizing each other up; a typical "feel out" round. Bradley kept busy with his jab, measuring and timing Pacquiao who was lunging and reaching sporadically while throwing one-two combinations to the body. Not much really connected until the final seconds, although one could argue that Bradley was dictating the pace more with his jabs and ring generalship. Bradley backed Pacquiao up with a combo toward the end of the round, then Pacquiao came back and landed a couple of good left straights answered by a counter right by Bradley in the final five seconds.
Close round. I'll give it to Bradley. 10-9 Bradley.
Round two: Bradley keeps it tight while sticking his left jab and keeping Pacquiao at bay. Thirty seconds in, Pacquiao lands his patented left behind a jab, a solid one at that, and backs Bradley momentarily. He shoots another left then counters with a one-two while Bradley tried to throw a combo. They get tied up and Bradley starts hitting Pacquiao with right hands while clinched. Both Pacquiao and referee Robert Byrd didn't seem to mind Bradley's tactics. Pacquiao took the rights to the body like he was getting massaged and allowed Bradley to continue. With a minute and 15 left, Bradley tried to rally after grazing Pacquiao with he left hook that backed him against the ropes, but stopped after a right hook similar to the one the Filipino landed on Erik Morales in their third fight caught him in the jaw. Pacquiao landed a couple more lefts toward the end of the round, while Bradley landed a jab as the round closed.
With Pacquiao landing the more telling punches, this is a clear Pacquiao round. 19-19 after two.
(RELATED: Pressure is on Pacquiao to prove he's still lethal)
Round three: Bradley opens the third by landing a nice right. Bradley continues using his jab to maintain his distance. Pacquiao landed a couple of lefts off his one-two, catching Bradley with a solid one midway through the round. Bradley shows he's unhurt by Pacquiao's punches by dancing and throwing combinations of his own, but Pacquiao closed the round as the aggressor.
This is another clear round for Pacquiao in my opinion. After three, Pacquiao 29 - Bradley 28.
Round four: Bradley goes inside and starts shooting toward Pacquiao's midsection while leading with his head. Pacquiao catches him with the right hook then goes to town. Pacquiao showed flashes of the old killer in him going for the jugular in this round, and rocked Bradley with a couple of good punches. This is the round when Bradley twisted his left ankle, which from ringside made him appear to wobble like Jackie Chan in the Drunken Master.
This is an easy round to score. Pacquiao was landing power punches while Bradley looked like he was just trying to stave off the Filipino's onslaught. Pacquiao 39-37 after four.
Round five: The action stalls with Pacquiao looking content to wait for Bradley to press the action. Bradley gestures with his movement as if to signify he is ready for more. Pacquiao gets impatient and starts pounding his gloves with Bradley doing nothing more than throwing phantom combos and moving out of the way whenever Pacquiao countered. Pacquiao lands a big left around the 30-second mark that knocks Bradley's head back. Pacquiao followed it up with a flurry and closed the round strong, while Bradley looked like a desperate fighter flailing away with wild hooks when he wasn't holding and grabbing Pacquiao.
Another clear Pacquiao round. Incidentally, Ford and Ross, the judges that scored the fight for Bradley, gave this round to the challenger. 49-46 Pacquiao through five rounds in my card.
Round six: In a nutshell this is a round where Pacquiao decided to chill. I don't know if this is what Pacquiao was describing as the round when he started to be "nice" to Bradley or if he simply got lazy, but he really didn't do much here until the final seconds when he landed a couple of good shots. Bradley didn't land a lot of clean punches either, but wins this round by virtue of activity and ring generalship.
58-56 Pacquiao after six.
Round seven: Bradley initiated with his jab and combos, and started going inside after the first minute. Pacquiao picks up the pace and lands a few short hooks that backed up Bradley. Bradley labors on with his combos, but gets countered and assaulted by a flurry from Pacquiao, which he tried to avoid by bobbing and weaving. Bradley gamely fires back and slows down the Pacquiao offensive for a moment, but gets bested in the ensuing exchanged as both fighters traded. After eating a few lefts, Bradley relents as if to concede the exchange to Pacquiao. Pacquiao, oddly, decides to relax his foot off the gas pedal as the round closed with Bradley showing his frustrations in his face.
Another Pacquiao round for me. 68-65 Pacquiao, five rounds to two.
Round eight: Both fighters trade to start the round, with Bradley showing more urgency, possibly assuming that he is falling behind in the scorecards. This is the round Bradley started his comeback, while Pacquiao chose to take the round off. Better movement and more activity for Bradley who also started to connect on counter lefts.
I'll give this round to Bradley. 77-75 Pacquiao after 8.
Round nine: Bradley opened up the ninth jabbing like he did in several of the previous rounds. Pacquiao catches Bradley again with a right as both men start trading on the inside. Clash of head come into play, as Byrd warns both fighters. Bradley decided to trade with Pacquiao here, which falls into the Filipino's favor. Pacquiao wobbles Bradley with his power left toward the end of the round and simply landed the harder and cleaner shots in the round.
Again, Pacquiao wins this round pretty clearly. 87-84 Pacquiao after 9.
Round ten: Bradley opens round 10 with a determined stance and lands a few good punches and combinations immediately. Desperation time, and Bradley has decided not to lie down. Pacquiao is just cruising at this point – hardly trying to mount an assault like in the previous rounds, and often dropped his fists as either a sign of frustration or baiting Bradley to initiate. Bradley maintains his strategy though by circling and countering and mixing it up with one-twos and potshots in between. This is a solid round for Bradley, while Pacquiao started to look disinterested. Unlike in previous rounds as well, Pacquiao fails to close the round strong to try and steal it.
Clear Bradley round. 96-94 Pacquiao after 10.
Round eleven: The momentum and body language has changed with Bradley now looking more confident and Pacquiao showing frustration and indifference. Bradley fires his jab liberally to start, throwing it at different levels and angles. Bradley connecting with a few shots, then does a great job avoiding Pacquiao's counter one-twos by backing up and moving his head away from the Filipino's daunted left, then closes the gap while still throwing shots inside. None of Bradley's punches appear to hurt Pacquiao, but they are scoring points, while Pacquiao grows more and more frustrated with Bradley's style. Pacquiao is missing badly at this point as Bradley circles out of danger and counters beautifully. Pacquiao tries to turn it up again in the last minute, but Bradley continues to box brilliantly and doesn't allow him to steal the round. Instead, Bradley connects with a few counters as the round closes with little fanfare.
Bradley won this round clearly in my eyes. 105 – 104 Pacquiao after 11.
Round twelve: Pacquiao opens the final round trying to stalk Bradley, who continues to circle away. Pacquiao lands a couple of jabs and a one-two, and Bradley returns fire but doesn't land anything significant. Pacquiao spent most of this round marching toward Bradley instead of cutting him off, and though he landed a few punches, Bradley was able to counter and box comfortably. Bradley looks loose and confident entering the final minute, and Pacquiao seemed to have given up on the idea of finishing the fight – not because he was being "nice", it mainly because Bradley was boxing effectively and did not allow him to get into his rhythm. Pacquiao's feint then one-two assault has become too predictable at this point for Bradley, who has decided to finish the fight boxing instead of trying to do anything crazy in an effort to win the round. Pacquiao lands a couple of punches, but Bradley was able to counter him as well. The fight ends unceremoniously as both men return to their corners. Bradley's body language doesn't suggest anything about him believing he won the fight, while Pacquiao looked as if he was just happy it was over and that there was no threat at all for him to lose the contest.
This is a close round. All three judges gave this round to Bradley and I'm inclined to do so as well. 114 – 114 tie after 12 rounds.
After 12 muted rounds, I have come up with a draw. Keep in mind that my attempt was to try and find a way Bradley could've won the fight, so I gave him all the close rounds such as the first, sixth and twelfth. What did this review prove? Well, it was a much closer fight than what I saw ringside. Despite still believing that Pacquiao won the fight and that the best Bradley could've hoped for was a draw, the rounds Pacquiao won were dramatic and thrilling, but he did give enough ho-hum rounds away that allowed Bradley to keep the fight close.
What Bradley came away with his efforts in the final rounds was figuring out a few flaws in Pacquiao's assault and getting his timing down, which can play a big role in the rematch. I definitely see why Bradley feels like a left hook can win it for him when he said in an interview that he will land a left hook to knock Pacquiao out.
Pacquiao left himself open many times for counters when he fired away lazy, lunging jabs, which Bradley eventually honed in on at the latter part of the fight. If Bradley can sit down on his punches and if he worked on adding power in camp this time around like Marquez did, it's not too far-fetched he could make good of his KO promise.
Listening to his quipping and reproach hurled toward Pacquiao ahead of their rematch, it does appear to me that Bradley may be laying out a trap for Pacquiao by egging him to try and knock him out so he could take advantage of his recklessness and land a counter he won't see, similar to what happened in his loss to Marquez.
That said, Bradley still isn't a big puncher and I will save my predictions for the rematch for my next column. As far as Pacquiao is concerned, one can argue that he got complacent and assumed that the win was in the bag after the ninth round. Was Pacquiao being nice or was he simply being lazy? Either way, he had a hand in his split decision loss by not finishing strong and opening the door for Bradley – and the judges – to make what seemed to be a lopsided fight, controversial.

On a closing note, social video website Veoh is going out of business. Veoh has been in court with Universal Music Group over whether the website qualified for DMCA safe harbor protection. The case is frequently cited as the tracer shot for the much heftier Viacom/YouTube case presently in discovery. While Veoh won summary judgment in September, UMG was planning an appeal. Commentators are now wondering if the UMG lawsuit drove Veoh into closure. Billboard found a Veoh board member tweeting exactly that, but Ben Sheffner casts some doubt on that claim, noting the prior case Veoh has against adult entertainment company iO Group running coterminous with the UMG case. In any event, Veoh is going away, and I would guess any appellate-level review of the Veoh/UMG case is probably going with it.
Update: Techdirt opens up the question of what's to happen with the litigation in light of this news.
Update 2 (2/15): Eriq Gardner over at THR, Esq. (one of my new favorite blogs) offers his prediction for the Veoh case:
If Veoh declares Chapter 7, a bankruptcy judge would issue an automatic stay in the case. UMG would likely file a motion with the bankruptcy court seeking relief from the stay to perfect its appeal. The trustee would engage legal counsel and make financial arrangements to cover the costs of defending the case before the 9th Circuit.
We're betting that all of this happens. The requiem on Veoh is now being written, but the company could continue to play a significant role in helping shape copyright liability for tech companies. (We wouldn't even be surprised to see Google acquire Veoh just so it could share in the fun of the action.)
The Chapter 7 declaration has already happened. We'll see how the rest pans out.

Why networking?: Networking is no longer only for the unemployed. The reality of today's economy is one of volatility where "stability" for professionals means having an up-to-date skill set and a strong network to help you land quickly when the next transition happens.
This week's networking tip: If your goal is to build a network of people that believe in you enough to promote you to others, they need to have a closer connection with you than meeting briefly at one networking event. The key – consistency. Experiment with a few groups to find those where you connect with people and then continue going to that event or group every time. Do what you say you will do and add value to others; you will be surprised at how it is returned if you give it time.
In Northern Colorado, networking opportunities abound. A select listing for the week of January 22-28:
Monday, January 23

During the second quarter of 2011 (April through June), NDEP is promoting the theme "Make a plan to manage your diabetes." The goal is to increase awareness among people with diabetes about the seriousness of their disease, that complications can be prevented, and that managing diabetes can be easier when people set goals and make a plan. For e-newsletter blurbs, feature articles, posters, and other resources to help you promote this message and help people understand how to make a plan, see NDEP's Managing Diabetes campaign webpage. Check out our podcasts, which feature people with diabetes talking about how they manage their diabetes. To help people set goals and make a plan, see the American Diabetes Association's "A Guide to Changing Habits."

People should look at their overall rig a bit closer. The Athlon X2 4600 is by no means a vastly outdated CPU. In fact given, the applications and resolutions most people use, it wont even be fully stretched at the best of times. Unless your CPU is truly defective, then the idea that having a faster CPU (than a dual core 2.3 GHz) makes your 'cursor and clicks faster' is a mistaken one.
However, factors like heat, dust, poor/depleted thermal interface materiel, not to mention a system install that has become top heavy will all contribute to slow downs. Add to that a *truly outdated* GPU and you end up with a ripe candidate for "OMG I need a new PC" It is also an unfortunate side effect that people then develop biases against certain companies
When these biases are based on poor system maintenance and inadequate knowledge, it is this dazed affect of misinformation and ignorance that the big companies(like Gateway) feed off to churn their millions.
Just yesterday, I refurbed a friends x2 4800+ rig. It now has a GTX260 and 3GB DDR1 (was already within Vista 64). All we did was buy the new GPU(originally had a 6200!), and do a dust n clean and re-paste with some arctic silver. On his 1280x1024 output, and the standard apps he uses, it purrs like a kitten, in true 'cool n quiet' Athlon fashion
All games running speedily, at 1280x CPU is not bottlenecking, not by a longshot (even with Crysis, Mass Effect, Oblivion etc)
Unless you fold like a maniac, professionally HD Edit/HD Render, then any dual core above 2GHz is more than up to the task. Heck, we all know most games arent even dual core optimised yet...
People that are intent on spending $$ should do it on a GPU or larger display
Go for the true, noticeable changes!!

Equally inspired by classic tunesmiths like

Is This It

started playing together in 1998 while they attended the Dwight School, a private prep school in Manhattan. Soon thereafter they met

officially christened the quintet
the Strokes
in 1999, and the group spent most of that year writing and rehearsing material in New York City's Music Building. They made their live debut that fall at the Spiral, and word of mouth about
the Strokes
' incendiary live show propelled them to gigs at venues like Under the Acme and Lower East Side clubs such as Arlene Grocery, Baby Jupiter, and Luna.
The Strokes
' December 2000 dates at the Mercury Lounge and the Bowery Ballroom not only gained them a manager (Ryan Gentles, who booked them at those clubs), but also helped
mania reach critical mass in New York. Rough Trade released the group's three-song demo as
The Modern Age
EP in January 2001, which sparked a bidding war from which RCA emerged as the victor.
the Strokes
' acclaim reached the U.K. and grew to massive proportions over the course of the year. NME quickly became their champions, profiling them several times that spring and summer as
the Strokes
' live act and singles like
Hard to Explain
(which debuted at number 16 in the U.K. charts) won them a rabid British following. That spring, the band also completed its first U.S. tour as the opening act for
the Doves
and proceeded to play dates with
Guided by Voices
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
in the U.S. and the U.K. The group's popularity continued to snowball in the U.K., with a side-stage slot at the NME Carling Weekender changed to a main-stage performance for fear of people trampling each other to see the band.
In late summer of that year, Rough Trade released
Is This It
with an album cover featuring a sexy,
Helmut Newton-esque
photo of a woman's nude behind and hip with a leather-gloved hand resting on it; the U.K. chains Woolworth's and HMV objected to its controversial nature. The U.S. version of
Is This It
was released in October and featured a few changes from the U.K. edition.
The Strokes
opted for an abstract pattern on the cover and removed the song "New York City Cops," feeling the song was inappropriate in the wake of the terrorist attacks that struck New York prior to the album's release; the planned B-side, "When It Started," took its place. The group closed out the fall with an extended tour of the U.S., culminating with a Halloween gig at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom.
The remainder of 2001 and 2002 saw the group's profile continue to rise.
Is This It
the Strokes
were lauded in many ways, ranging from This Isn't It, an EP of instrumental versions of some of the album's songs performed by a mystery band called

Jarvis Cocker

the White Stripes
, summer festivals at Reading and Leeds, and a string of gigs supporting
, some of which were canceled due to a leg injury
suffered. During these shows, their fall tour, and their dates opening for
the Rolling Stones
the Strokes
debuted some new songs, including "Meet Me in the Bathroom," "You Talk Way Too Much," and "The Way It Is."
By March 2003, the band was ready to start recording its new album, but instead of working with
Is This It
Gordon Raphael
as previously reported,
the Strokes
began recording with
Nigel Godrich
fame. That May, however,
the Strokes
' sessions with
came to an end, and they returned to
to finish the album. The single "12:51" introduced the more meticulous, new wave-inspired sound of
Room on Fire
, which arrived in fall 2003. Just before the album's release,
the Strokes
hit the road once again, taking
Kings of Leon
with them. Early in 2006, they returned with the even poppier and more polished
First Impressions of Earth
The band took a hiatus after the tour for that album, with each member working on other projects.
Albert Hammond, Jr.
was the first to venture into the solo fray with
Yours to Keep
, which was released in late 2006 in the U.K. and in early 2007 in the U.S.; he followed it with 2008's
Como Te Llama?
Fabrizio Moretti
played with the indie pop band
Little Joy
, whose self-titled album arrived in late 2008.
Nikolai Fraiture
embarked on the folky solo project
Nickel Eye
, and released the debut
Time of the Assassins
in early 2009. Although
the Strokes
headed back into the studio that same year, progress was slow as
Julian Casablancas
briefly shifted his attention to a solo album,
Phrazes for the Young
, which arrived that fall.
After playing a headlining slot at Lollapalooza in 2010,
the Strokes
returned to the studio with renewed focus, eventually emerging with 2011's Angles. Given the gap between their two previous albums, it was something of a surprise when they returned in early 2013 with Comedown Machine, a more streamlined, subdued affair that reunited the band with Angles producer Gus Oberg. In May 2016
the Strokes
returned with two new tracks ("OBLIVIUS" and "Drag Queen"), which were included on their Future Present Past EP.

MACEDONIA — Sometimes breaks don't go your way, and sometimes they don't matter anyway.
That was the case for Medina's boys soccer team Wednesday night, as it dropped its Division I regional semifinal to Westlake 3-0 at Boliantz Stadium.
Despite trailing by two after the first half, the Bees (12-5-2) felt they had done everything they could to be in the game had the ball not taken few bad bounces.
"The message in the locker room was that it wasn't a 2-0 game," Medina coach Mark Malikowski said. "We gave up two goals that we normally don't give up, and we thought we did enough in the first half to give ourselves a chance.
"We gave up one crummy one, and then we're on our heels with the second one, and we don't finish a couple that we had."
The Bees had just two shots on goal in the opening half — one a breakaway when midfielder Austin Horvath flicked the ball to forward Aaron Liezert, whose shot sailed wide left to keep the game scoreless.
From there, the Demons (14-4-2) took control, netting a pair of goals in a little more than 2 minutes to all but secure their regional final berth against Sylvania Southview on Saturday. Southview defeated Whitehouse Anthony Wayne 2-1 in the other semifinal.
Senior Chris Korek shot a bullet at Medina goalkeeper Dean McNeil (2 saves), and the junior failed to hang onto the ball and it went in between his legs and into the net.
"That's a fluke," Malikowski said. "Dean has played well for us all year and he stops that shot 999 times out of 1,000, so it's a fluke. Maybe it was weather-related or turf-related, but that's a shot we would put him there for 1,000 times."
Westlake's Nick Wertman followed with the first of his two goals. The forward played a free kick from Chris Korek and, with his back to the goal, was able to score on a header.
"Defensively we played pretty well, and the goals we gave up, I don't know how to describe it," senior defender Michael Clendenin said. "Like the one that slipped through Dean. That was just unfortunate. They were just tough goals, and there was nothing we could've done about them."
Wertman netted an insurance goal with 33:28 left in regulation on a direct kick from the top right corner of the box that deflected off the shoulder of a wall defender and past McNeil.
"They were an awesome team," Clendenin said. "Their buildup was great, and they had great movement on the outsides. They did well to break us down in situations and places where they did score goals."
In all, the Demons fired 11 shots — seven on goal — while the Bees countered with 13 total attempts and seven on frame.
But outside of the breakaway shot by Liezert, Medina's other tries were collected easily by Westlake keeper Jamie Lackner, as he extended his postseason shutout streak to four games.
"I thought we did create some chances, but they get a lot of guys behind the ball, which makes them tough to break down in that final 30 yards," Malikowski said. "That's where we struggled a little bit.
"That said, we had some chances and had a lot of room to play in front of their backs, but we couldn't make that final pass to give us that quality chance. It's not a 3-0 game certainly, but (Westlake) played really well and they deserve credit."
