20 Years After the L.A. Riots and Nothing Has Changed
Posted on Apr 17, 2012
LOS ANGELES—The killing of Trayvon Martin is a reminder of the racial divide poisoning American life, which has resisted all attempts to bridge it, even after the country elected its first African-American president.
I write this on the 20th anniversary of the Los Angeles riots, a multiracial affair. It's been 17 years since the O.J. Simpson murder trial, which further showed the antipathy between whites and blacks.
I covered those events for the Los Angeles Times. The riots, in particular, stick in my mind. I remember being at the First AME Church, a center of Los Angeles' black community, and walking toward a nearby boulevard where young black men were battling Los Angeles Police Department officers. Church members, who knew me, grabbed my arms and led me back to AME, one of them saying, "This is no time for journalistic heroics." I sneaked back and watched the battle. I also saw men from the church and Latino residents of nearby apartments fight the rioters' fires, with no help from the city fire department, black and brown hands together around garden hoses. I drove through a city aflame to the paper downtown and then home, returning to the fires and rubble early the next morning.
Nor will I forget the challenge of reporting on the O.J. trial and a criminal justice system that was stacked against defendants, except for one as rich as Simpson. Each day, I watched from the courthouse as lawyers, witnesses, reporters and the famous defendant took part in a drama that plumbed the depths of how Americans feel about race.
My memories have been revived by Martin's death and the hate crimes in Tulsa, Okla., where three African-Americans were killed and two others wounded by a white man and an American Indian who has described himself as white. Simpson was African-American, his victims white, while Martin was African-American and his killer has a white father and a mother of Peruvian descent. African-Americans, Latinos, Asian-Americans and whites all were involved in the Los Angeles riots.

The racial divide in the Martin case was revealed in an April 2-4 USA Today/Gallup poll. Frank Newport, Gallup's editor in chief, wrote "Blacks are paying much closer attention to the news of the incident; overwhelmingly believe that George Zimmerman, the individual who shot Martin, is guilty of a crime; believe that racial bias was a major factor in the events leading up to the shooting; and believe that Zimmerman would already have been arrested had the victim been white, not black."
A total of 73 percent of blacks surveyed by Gallup (before Zimmerman was charged) said he would have been arrested if Martin had been white. Only 35 percent of nonblacks believed that way (Latinos are included in the nonblack category, Gallup told the website Salon). A similar proportion of blacks—72 percent—said racial bias played a major role in the events that led up to the shooting, compared with 31 percent of nonblacks.
Public opinion, Newport said, "reflects the same kind of racial divide found in 1995 surveys asking about the murder trial of O.J. Simpson." Acknowledging the differences because of the races of Simpson and the victim, Newport said, "both situations, even though 17 years apart, apparently tap into the same deeply felt views of the average black American that the criminal justice system is biased against blacks."
In the Simpson case, one Gallup poll found that 78 percent of blacks supported the jury that found him not guilty, while only 42 percent of whites agreed.
The ethnic aspects of the Los Angeles riots were more complex because of the city's multiethnic population.
Most of Los Angeles, especially white Los Angeles, did not expect the uprising, even though tensions had been growing in South Central L.A., an African-American and Latino area.
The riots occurred after the acquittal of police officers accused of beating Rodney King, an African-American motorist. Their trial had been moved to a white suburb, and when the verdict was delivered, violence began, first in South Los Angeles and then extending to other parts of the city. The police department was caught unprepared. The then-chief, Daryl Gates, had long sent his officers into the area where the riots were centered as if they were an occupying army, a major source of racial tension. But when violence broke out, Gates—either by intent or neglect—had no riot plan and, in the first hours, the streets were without police protection.
Although the first violence was by African-Americans—most famously in the televised beating of white truck driver Reginald Denny—it spread. A Rand report said, "this wasn't a black riot so much as it was a minority riot. ... [M]embers of all racial groups were involved in the spreading physical assaults and looting."
A total of 54 people died, more than 2,300 were injured and property damage amounted to more than $1 billion. More than half those arrested were Latinos. More than half of stores destroyed were owned by Korean-Americans and perhaps a third by Latinos.
Twenty years later, the divide remains. Substantially more Asians, blacks and Latinos than whites believe that ethnic groups are getting along badly, according to a recent poll by Loyola Marymount University's Leavey Center for the Study of Los Angeles. More blacks, Latinos and Asian-Americans than whites believe their neighborhoods are less safe than in the past. They also have a more negative view of race relations than do whites.
The riots and the O.J. Simpson trial occurred before instant social media and just as 24-hour cable news was beginning to exert its power. At the time, we thought communications were fast, but compared with today, news traveled slowly and rabble-rousing nuts didn't have the Internet to spew their venom. And although handguns were plentiful, the idea of a "Stand Your Ground" law, giving people great latitude to shoot in self-defense, was just a gun lobby dream instead of the reality in 25 states, as it is now.
Today, multiracial cities and towns are becoming more common, presenting other parts of the country with the complex ethnic tensions long familiar to Los Angeles. This is a big change in American life.
Many Americans thought we had overcome racial hatred because we elected a black president and we're more accepting of interracial marriage and children of mixed race. But with racist gunslingers inspired by their Facebook and Twitter "friends," emboldened by permissive gun laws and hating the increasing racial diversity of America, nothing has changed.

20 years later, I still feel a bit of anxiety at the thought that this could possibly happen again. With cases in the news like Trayvon Martin or Kelly Thomas, it would be easy to see a repeat of the L.A. Riots. I can only hope that people have learned a lesson from the actions of 20 years ago. There are much more effective ways to pursue justice for the things you feel are unjust.
On the rare occasion I drive through my old neighborhood, it would appear as if it were untouched by that horrendous week of destruction. But because I remember, because I was there, I am FOREVER touched by that week in our history.

Wrong L. A. riot bubba. It should read that nothing has changed in 47 years since Watts and Compton and other major cities across the nation. If anyone wants to really learn about lack of change they should take there heads and noses out of sanctioned book and sanitized news articles and talk to anyone who is 63 or older,Black, Mexican or Asian, in California in the year of 1964 and preferably lived in Watts or Compton. You will probally get the truth about Black life from the Black view instead of the accepted white washed version. I was there, I am BLACK and I a member of the racist LAPD organization.

I don't think that an riot the scale of L.A.'s will be allowed to go on at this stage of the game. Two interests have diverse, but similar perspectives. Al Sharpton, and his ilk, have the responsibility to keep things peaceful now that he has stirred the pot and donned the mantle of the latter day MLK. A tough assignment for him because he has people all revved up (no pun intended) and now he must quell any violent outbursts. The second group that will not allow another huge riot will be the police depts. all over America. The LAPD got humiliated in the riot and I don't think they, or any other dept., will allow it again. Lots of rioters and looters will lose their lives if it goes that way again. If any violence should break out, blame Al Sharpton. He owns it.

text: SAUSALITO, Calif., Jan. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sanovas Inc., a life science technology company developing and commercializing the next-generation of micro-invasive diagnostics, devices and drug delivery technologies, announced today that it has filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for clearance of the company's Vas Zeppelin™ Smart Catheter™ for the treatment of chronic pulmonary diseases and lung cancer. The technology would be among the smallest interventional catheters commercially available, allowing physicians to access and deliver therapy to some of the tiniest and most remote passageways in the anatomy. "This filing marks a significant milestone for Sanovas and beacons new opportunity for physicians and patients alike," Sanovas CEO Larry Gerrans said. "With one in seven Americans suffering from chronic pulmonary disease and with lung cancer killing more people than breast, prostate and colon cancers combined, new technologies aimed at the earliest stages of lung disease are desperately needed." Worldwide, hundreds of millions of people suffer every day from chronic respiratory diseases. According to the World Health Organization 235 million people suffer with asthma and 64 million suffer with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. While Lung cancer alone kills over one million people every year. Existing surgical tools and technologies have long been recognized as being too invasive and/or too risky to be implemented in standard clinical practice because of the potential damage to the treatment site and/or post-operative complications. Sanovas is developing a system of miniaturized technologies intended to overcome the complexity and procedural risks associated with pulmonary intervention. The Vas Zeppelin™ Smart Catheter System™ is being designed to provide surgeons the first intelligent, integrated approach to operating on a breathing lung. The system will feature a portfolio of integrated tools and sensors. The solution set is intended to synergize access, 3D imaging, physiologic metrics, on-board diagnostics and related therapy- enabling technologies to remove obstructions and to deliver drug and immune therapies to targeted locations.

Dogs and Chiropractic? Anyone have any tips using this method of wellness?
I have a very aggressive golden retriever. i have had him since he was 8 weeks old and he is now almost 7 years old, About three years ago he started being very aggressive towards people (usually only women, but there is the occasional male). No one seems to know why he took a sudden turn to be aggressive, but my question is that i do not want to medicate my dog as the vet has suggested for a thiroid problem, and i am wondring if chiropractic has help out anyone else's aggressive dog? Any advice is welcome,, Please to not comment unless you have respect for my question or my reasoning. Thanks You All

Hi, I'm a little curious about your aggressive stance towards people answering here (if you don't like someone's suggestions... just don't follow them!) but I'll give it a try anyway.
I don't think it would hurt to try chiropractic, if you go to a licensed, reputable practitioner. But keep in mind there is (unfortunately) a long history of chiropractors claiming to be able to fix (non-spinal/bone/joint) problems without any evidence that it works, and some chiropractors have even harmed people doing unnecessary procedures. Some medical doctors classify the whole profession as charlatans (unfair, yes) for this. So give it a try but don't believe anyone who sounds too good to be true.
Back to your vet and the thyroid problem- did they ever run any tests to see if he is low thyroid? I have personally seen thyroid hormone pills work WONDERS for low-thyroid dogs, it's like a miracle. And it's cheap and has no major side effects.
Another path is trying a veterinary behaviorist.

Darryl Strawberry
Darryl Strawberry
World Series
Spring Training
Schiffel, Cunningham
May 1, 1994
Ira Winderman's verbose example of hot air on Heat coach Kevin Loughery (April17) left out the opinions of us fans/season ticket-holders who see Loughery far more often than various NBA referees. So, here's mine: Kevin Loughery, in my opinion, does not have the trust and confidence of his players like Pat Riley has in New York and like Lenny Wilkens has in Atlanta. Also, he hasn't been able to get the team to play up to or beyond its potential more than about three or four times this year.
Strawberry: Everything`s Fine Now Says He Has No Desire To Assume Leadership Role In Mets` Clubhouse
The New York Times
March 17, 1989
PORT ST. LUCIE -- Two weeks after staging a one-day sitdown strike for a new contract, Darryl Strawberry says that he has no regrets about his walkout, that he has apparently lost no standing with his teammates and that, in any event, he aspires to no locker-room leadership role on the Mets. "I made my point," he says. "It had to be done, and I have no regrets about doing it. "I had to leave for a while. But now it`s past. And the guys on the team aren`t treating me any different than in the past.
Strawberry Fed Up With Raspberries
By ROBBIE ANDREU, Staff Writer
October 10, 1986
HOUSTON -- Darryl Strawberry enjoys the fast pace, the lights and the mystique of the big city. But New York City is not home. His home is a patch of grass. Right Field at Shea Stadium. For most of his three years with the New York Mets, this has been his haven. But late this summer, the neighborhood went bad. Shea Stadium fans turned on Strawberry. When the hits and home runs stopped coming regularly in August and September, right field became a hostile, foreign land to Strawberry. "It became a war zone; people were booing and throwing things at me," Strawberry said Thursday before Game 2 of the National League Championship Series.
Tragedies Of Sports Can't Be Switched Off
February 25, 1995
The television picture flickered across the living room. I turned up the sound. Former Mets, Dodgers and Giants outfielder Darryl Strawberry said his father, Henry, was partly responsible for leading him on a path of drug abuse, and Olympic gold-medal diver Greg Louganis had revealed he has AIDS. I changed the channel. For that moment - for the time it took for me to hear Strawberry's claim that his father physically and verbally abused him as a child, and that Louganis was HIV-positive at the 1988 Seoul Games - the news left little impression on me. I was channel-surfing for NHL results, for an update on the joke that has become Major League Baseball.
Yount Files For Free Agency
November 5, 1993
The Milwaukee Brewers declined to exercise their 1994 option on Robin Yount's contract, and the 20-year veteran filed for free agency. Yount, 38, made $2.7 million last season with the Brewers and the club had an option for $3.2 million for 1994. Yount hit .258 with eight home runs and 51 RBI last season. He hinted he would like to play another season. Brewers General Manager Sal Bando said the decision on whether Yount returns is up to the player. "I'd love to have him back, but only if he wants to come back," Bando said.
Mets: Strawberry Should Shut Up
By HOWARD BLATT, New York Daily News
August 3, 1991
NEW YORK -- New York Mets infielder Gregg Jefferies, branded by Darryl Strawberry this week as a crybaby who can`t handle pressure, said Friday night he was aware of the remarks, but he refused to return fire at his former teammate. Several of Jefferies` current teammates, however, angrily suggested that the born-again Strawberry should check out his glass house before he reaches for his never-ending pile of stones. "Some people used to call him a crybaby," Dave Magadan said. "Gregg has got to take it with a grain of salt.
Mets Settle For Beer
October 6, 1985
General Manager Frank Cashen sat on a stool in the New York Met clubhouse Saturday and summarized what his players were thinking: "Next year I expect to be drinking champagne instead of beer." The Mets had just dropped an 8-3 decision to the Montreal Expos, but the loss hardly mattered in the big picture of the National League East. While the Expos were batting in the eighth, the Shea Stadium scoreboard flashed the result that made the game`s outcome moot -- St. Louis 7, Chicago 1. The Cardinals were NL East champions and the Mets were already looking forward to next year.
Ex-baseball Player Charged
By Chrystian Tejedor Staff Writer
September 29, 2005
Darryl Strawberry told police that when he walked out of a Delray Beach gas station after buying a pack of cigarettes, his Nissan Murano was gone. Although Strawberry reported it stolen Sept. 17, Delray Beach police on Wednesday charged him with filing a false report after an anonymous caller told them another story. Police recovered the rented Murano behind a Lake Worth sports bar Sept. 20, the same day they got a tip from an anonymous caller who told police that Strawberry gave her the keys to the SUV in a Delray Beach motel room.
Life After Strawberry: `Different Dynamic` With Coleman
By CRAIG DAVIS, Senior Writer
March 7, 1991
PORT ST. LUCIE -- Bat met ball with a resounding thwack. No doubt about it. Gone! The partisan crowd cheered vigorously. So much for the notion that the home run is no longer a part of the Mets offense now that Darryl Strawberry has fled to the other coast. But Dwight Gooden batting cleanup? OK, so it was only spring training batting practice. But the Doc was on the right track when he kissed not one but two goodbye recently during a Strawberry-like turn in the cage. For the Mets in the year A.D., home runs will have to come from varied and sometimes unlikely sources.
Strawberry Joins Yanks
August 5, 1995
Darryl Strawberry's long-rumored return to the majors became a reality Friday night when the Yankees promoted him from the minors and put him into the starting lineup against Detroit. He batted sixth as the designated hitter and went 1 for 4, singling in his first at-bat, popping out to second in the fourth, flying out to center in the sixth and striking out swinging against lefty Kevin Wickander in the eighth during a 4-1 victory over Detroit. "I just want to take full advantage of the opportunity and play baseball and not be a distraction to the New York Yankees," he said before the game at Tiger Stadium.

Noise of LTP input? Help!
Just LTSpiced a current mirrored LTP and I am seriously confused by the results.
Did a noise simulation with no emitter resistors for the current mirrors as a baseline.
Then added emitter resistors to the current mirrors because I wanted to see how much noise they would contribute - and the noise went DOWN!?
I expected that as I added resistence to counteract any small current mirror Vbe mismatch that the noise would increase, and that would be my trade-off.
Don't understand the actual result at all. After I read Self AND Cordell I expected I knew this stuff:). Anyone can help?
TIA David
the mirror degen R also serve as diff pair collector R giving Vgain R/gm, then mirror Q noise is added to the amplified V so it is a smaller contribution
alternatively the degen can be seen as reducing the mirror Q Vnoise conversion to current - both views should work out to the same net result
Bob's high diff pair degen values can be criticised on this issue, even larger mirror degen R is requrired to prevent 2nd stage noise contribuition
I haven't looked recently but Self likely treats this in more detail
but it is all trade-offs: input linearity vs noise, 2nd stage noise contribution vs Vheadroom, eventual excess forward gain pole with large mirror degen
Self only mentions the fact that it affects the slew rate, nothing on the noise issue. From simulation this can been seen but its a minor effect, I see using larger degen resistors on the current mirror to lower noise as a positive trade off where low noise is desired (pre amps) and in case of designs with very high LTP degenration (this offsets the slewrate problem) but in essence low noise in inputs of amps is a non issue, its already pretty low taking into account the line level voltages and input impedances. Samuel Groner wrote a paper about the noise issue and posted it on a thread here on diy. Noise can be substancially reduced through large degeneration of current mirrors.
I need to think a bit more and then perhaps simulate before I know if I really understand but thank you both for the explanations and reference.
Please show the exact simulation setup. As jcx said, you need to look at the noise *referred to the input*, i.e. output noise divided by gain.
> emphasis on low impedance to minimize noise
Low Z for desired sources.
High Z for un-desired sources.
Yes, the bias-sources probably should have large resistors to swamp voltage noise gain.
> to power some extremely efficient compression drivers, ... not padded down to match the least efficient speaker
Then reduce amplifier gain. S/N is established at the input. Say (random example) you have 1V of peak signal and 100uV of input hiss. 80db S/N. Say this should give 100db SPL on the room. Say the woofer needs 20V and the horn needs 2V. (Heavy woof for small size; hi-efficiency driver on hi-directivity horn.) The woof-amp could be set for gain of 20; horn-amp for gain of 2. The woof-amp's output hiss is 2mV and 20db SPL. The horn-amp's out hiss is 0.2mV and 20db SPL.
Problem: heavy-feedback amps get difficult at lower gains, when power device speed is not much-much-much greater than signal bandwidth. A low-tech amp (LM301) may give 10mHz GBW and slew 10V/us when compensated for gain-of-10, but must be slugged to 1MHz and 1V/uS when worked at gain-of-1.
OTOH, the few Watts needed for your horn allow "smaller" power devices which typically are available in higher speeds. Where a woofer may need 115-Watt blobs with 6MHz-30mHz fT, it may be practical to array 400MHz (TO-92) devices for a few Watts, close the loop for unity-gain at 10MHz (G=2 at 5MHz), therefore massive (>50db) NFB at the top of the audio band.
So the lower the noise the more flexibility I have, and I wanted to learn more in any case.
A pre-amp with a little gain, maybe +3dB to +10dB followed by a buffer will drive your horn treble to high SPLs.
The pre-amp+buffer is technically your low gain Power Amplifier.

The other night the kids and I were sitting at the table having a bedtime snack when all of the sudden there was a loud thumping right outside the window. It only took a few seconds after my initial scare to realize it was one of the hens, frantically trying to get in where it was light. Candi, our Golden Laced Wyandotte had hopped the fence around the goat and chicken yard, made her way through the back, up the side yard, and around to the front dining room window and had no idea how to get back to her coop in the dark.
I brought her into the house and before taking her back out to the coop I made sure I trimmed her flight feathers to make sure she didn't show up at our window again tomorrow night. If we lived in a more rural environment I would most likely NOT trim flight feathers because it allows your birds to more easily escape potential predators, but in our small urban yard the risk of hopping the fence and getting hit by a car is more likely than being chased by a fox or a dog.
Trimming flight feathers is very easy. The hardest part of learning how is keeping the chicken still long enough to see what you're doing the first few times. If your birds are skittish it might be helpful to have someone else hold the chicken for you. This hen was docile enough that I could take pictures with one hand while holding with the other.
How To Trim Your Hen's Feathers
First gently extend one wing until you can see the flight feathers. They will be tucked underneath the outer feathers, you can tell the difference because flight feathers will be darker and stronger. Second, trim them with very sharp scissors to the same length as the outer feathers. I've used dull kid scissors when I couldn't find mine and not only does it take longer, but you are more likely to pull or twist on the feather which would be uncomfortable for your bird.
Here is a picture of the trimmed flight feathers. If you want you can do just one side. I almost always trim both sides though, because the first time I just did one wing my hen tried to fly, started spinning in a circle and smacked into the side of the house. I felt really bad, so now I always do both wings unless the bird is overly stressed. I have an Andalusian that panics, so she only gets one wing.
If you have a hard time catching your hens try trimming flight feathers just after the birds roost for the night. They should be calmer and more docile.
Here's Candi with both wings trimmed. Once she folds her wings back up you can't even tell!
Do you trim flight feathers? One wing or both wings? Any tips I forgot to mention?
Be prepared for your first flock
With a step by step checklist to walk you through.

Nearly two years ago I started this occasional series where I look at 10 albums from one genre that I consider "important". You then get to do the same. You can click back to see that it started with hip-hop, then metal, electronica, country and most recently reggae. I say most recently and that was nearly a year ago. Time to add another genre to the done-pile - but before I do I'd like to carry over what I said as part of the first "10 important albums" post. That being:
We all know that lists are subjective - that is the point of them. So I've decided to do a series of top 10 albums across genres. They'll appear sporadically. And rather than call them "Top 10" I will call them 10 of the most important - sorry if that sounds pretentious. It's not meant to. It's meant to describe the albums as being important to me, seminal in terms of turning me on to a genre, reminding me of the things I liked about a genre - reintroducing me, leading on to other similar (or disparate) musical ideas. Important in that sense.
Now punk might be a contentious subject - there's British and American strains of punk and arguments to support each side as being originators. There is a punk particular to the 1970s and then to the 1980s. From the 1990s to the present day it becomes hard to know what's going on. Green Day probably is The Sex Pistols of the 1990s and/or Ramones too in terms of influencing so much that followed in its wake. But they might just be awful to you - or really important to you.
One thing I've decided - for the purposes of this listing business with the punk genre - is that we will start from 1975. If it weren't for that stipulation I'd be including The Stooges, The New York Dolls, The Modern Lovers and The MC5. But it is a separate argument as to where/when punk started. We could go back to Johnny Burnette and several of the other rock'n'rollers and rockabilly practitioners so for the sake of brevity - since it's a big enough topic as it is - we'll start from 1975. Your favourite punk albums might be all 1970s and 1980s artists. And if you want to consider The Alkaline Trio or Sum 41 as part of your list then that's fine...but let's leave the pre-1975 stuff otherwise we could battle for the inclusion of The Velvet Underground's White Light/White Heat album or The Monks or many others.
Right, all of that out of the way, here's my list of 10 important punk albums. In no ranking - just as they come to me.
I had a bunch of Ramones material but the only thing I continue to go back to is the debut, self-titled album. Better than any anthology/greatest hits on the market. Hey ho, let's go...
I am using this to incorporate Never Mind the Bollocks - which of course (ultimately) is it when it comes to The Sex Pistols. Every track from that album is here and I heard them all first on this compilation. Bodies, still, is a revelation. I'm far more interested in PiL than The Sex Pistols these days - but right time/right place I'm transported back to when I first heard No Fun, my favourite Pistols song (a cover of The Stooges). And Pretty Vacant, EMI, Anarchy in the UK and so many others.
I really don't like Green Day. An embarrassment of a band, a group that has been sliding downhill ever since this album - and really Dookie probably isn't at all great. Nor are the earlier records. It's all thin pastiche. But I'd be lying if I said this album wasn't important to me - at the time. I was new to punk and the post-punk material and through grunge's tribute/appropriation/recontextualisation I was finding plenty of music for myself. A big step when my parents' record collection had been so vital. All of a sudden add Green Day with that song and also Longview. Awesome stuff. But it was so quickly downhill from there. I tried to listen to Insomniac recently - see here for the result - I dare not bother with Dookie. I'll just remember it for the good times.
Love Und Romance. I can't remember how I got on to The Slits - probably just from reading about them. But this album is a gem. One of my favourites. Not an album I can listen to right through all that often these days - but so important for me. A formative experience and one I treasure. Again, it's that feeling of discovering something for yourself that was a big part of the deal here. No one in my family listened to this - or would want to. I don't think any of my friends were hearing this either. And I loved the reggae-integration, the feminism, the obvious influence on so much that had followed in its wake. Love the cover of Heard It Through the Grapevine too.
5. The Minutemen, Double Nickels on the Dime
Here is where punk's cup runneth over. And thankfully. There is just so much to take in here - impossible to deal with in one go (properly). A hardcore album, a post-punk album maybe - to me this is a punk album. And it's one of the handful of punk albums that really progresses the genre. I'd recommend checking out this slim volume if you're a fan of this album or of The Minutemen in general.
I heard this before I heard Double Nickels and this was the first punk album that made me realise that songwriting was a big part of the genre. That there was plenty to say. And that it could be said sharply, succinctly. Wire has had many comebacks and carry-ons but last year's Red Barked Tree is my next favourite Wire album after Pink Flag. And if you haven't heard that I recommend it. Superb.
I love a lot of Patti Smith's work, both her writing and her music. But when it comes down to it this album is it for me. If I could only have one Patti Smith album then this would be it. I like that you can hear punk in here and you can hear time was spent listening to punk's very outer influences/characters (like Bob Dylan) and even beyond that to people like Van Morrison.
8. Dead Kennedys, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables
My cousin told me about Dead Kennedys (and also Circle Jerks too). And it felt very naughty listening to this album - in fact I heard this before I heard any other punk or hardcore albums. I couldn't really process it at the time. But I knew enough to go back to it. Whoa, I Kill Children. And of course Holiday in Cambodia.
9. Big Black, Songs About F**king
This is one of my favourite albums. Period. It's relentless. It's also an album that features Steve Albini in a playing capacity. And so many people knew him - first/foremost - as a producer. A producer who would go on to play with the subverted version of punk (Pixies et al). This album is brutal. And I love it.
10. Elvis Costello & The Attractions, This Year's Model
Maybe some people will turn their noses up at Elvis Costello on a punk list but this album blows me away. And along with just a few other artists/albums this shows that you could be punk in attitude and have great players/playing. It didn't all need to be Sex Pistols-style. The rhythm section is just incredible. And Elvis was writing great songs and spitting them out with disdain, with a sneer. Again, one of my favourite albums (by anyone/ever) regardless of genre.
So there's my list of 10 very important punk albums. Some of you will have noticed no Clash. Feel free to add them to your own list. As I said here I'm not the hugest fan. But I do like the first three albums - and I won't deny they had plenty of great singles. In fact so many of punk's great bands were about the singles as much or more than they were about the albums. The Buzzcocks: great singles band.
Anyway, now it's your turn. What are your 10 important punk albums? And what makes them so special for you/to you?

No Clash, not even for the political side? No Damned, even for the fun side? And I suppose it's not important but ANY list of punk albums that fails to include SLF's peerless debut Inflammable Material is manifestly incomplete.
All subjective but if you're waving a flag saying 'important' punk albums then: - No Clash says it all about you, Simon. - How can you have a Sex Pistols cash in rather than NMtB? Odd. - Costello's This Year's Model as a punk album? It's New Wave, man. - No Buzzcock's Spiral Scratch, Richard Hell, Pere Ubu etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc. - Green Day the Sex Pistols of the 1990s....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Yeah... ok, but I think Plastic Surgery Disasters is a much better album than Fresh Fruit.
I think our very own New Zealand punk band, The Rabble, should be mentioned in this article :)
Not a bad list, If we are talking influence I would find a bit of room for Bad Religion.
"Green Day probably is The Sex Pistols of the 1990s"??!!
I'm off to watch Fox News and get some balance.
I'd remove Green Day and add in Stiff Little Fingers, Inflammable Material. You can't have a top 10 punk album list & not have this album. Rob Gordon would agree.
Really difficult to improve on that list Simon, though I'd be inclined to include 'Bollocks' as the sole Pistols album just for its wider "crossover" impact, and I think there needs to be something from the Clash - the self-titled or maybe even 'London Calling'. Otherwise I reckon you nail it and our lists would be pretty close. Great reminders re 'Cut', and Wire too.
I got as far as Green Day and couldn't go on

I'm liking them too, QuiltE!
Thanks everyone!! I always enjoy your feedback and inspiration to keep me trotting on. I'm getting my momentum back, but need to keep focused, so really appreciate what you are doing to help!! :)
OKSGlad ... I really like blue and yellow together too. My bedroom is blue, with white trim and just wee accent touch of yellow. Though that will disappear this year when I repaint. :(
JanRN ... I'm not a big red fan, though this one really has me hooked on it. It's one of the fusions, as is the blue.
CarrieM ... when PPing the only pre-cutting I do, is for FC pieces. Otherwise, I sew to the fabric, then cut it off, press, trim and onto the next piece.
I thought I commented on your blocks but I can't find it. So: beautiful! I love the fusion fabrics! Lovely colours.
Fusions are my favorite! I collect them from a fabric store near me. She is not carrying as many now, but every time I go in there a I get a yard or two, she often has certain ones on sale! I carry a swatch with all the colors I have, so I can get a different one each time.
I like all the Fusion line, but my favorite is the Fusion 5573 line, I like the Fusion Mist also. Such wonderful fabrics, in gorgeous colors.
All fabulous blocks as usual but, Honchey, holy cow that's amazing. :)
My Gretchen is complete. I used one of the fabrics I just picked up this week. I'm not sure how she feels about disembodied heads but, with a strong, old-fashioned name like Gretchen I'm sure she'll be fine. :D
Attachment 477406
Don't worry, I'm sure Gretchen can handle this :D I love your block. Great fabric :D :D

HIBS boss Mixu Paatelainen today admitted that he couldn't stand in the way of David Grof's ambition – but believes that the young keeper could still have a future at Easter Road.
In a surprise move, the 19-year-old Hungarian has travelled south this week to join former Hibs manager Tony Mowbray on trial at English Premiership side West Bromwich Albion.
Grof, who made his first-team debut for Hibs back in August in the 3-2 CIS Cup defeat at the hands of Morton, trained with the Baggies yesterday and is expected to spend at least the rest of the week at the Hawthorns.
The keeper was signed in 2006 by Mowbray when he was in charge at Easter Road and there were high hopes that he could make an impression on the first team.
However, he has slipped down the pecking order following the arrival of Yves Ma-Kalambay at the start of last season and the more recent signing of Grzegorz Szamotulski, with Andy McNeil third in line for the gloves.
Grof knows that his opportunities in the first-team squad will be limited and Paatelainen conceded that he did not want to put any obstacles in the young player's way of a chance to play in the English Premiership.
Paatelainen said: "David has gone to train with West Brom this week and it is a good opportunity for him.
"We will see how he copes with it, the different surroundings and a different group of players.
"We have got good goalkeepers at the club and I am delighted with the situation that we are in at the moment. I don't think that David is ready for the first team at the moment, but there is no doubt that he is a talented young goalkeeper and a very talented prospect.
"I didn't want to stand in his way because he is an ambitious boy, I don't think there is a young player out there who doesn't have that kind of attitude. He wants to push himself and that is a good thing
"But he is a good keeper, we need competition for places, and if he comes back to the club then he will be welcomed back."
Meanwhile, Paatelainen will give trialists Denes Rosa and Markus Berger a chance to win themselves a move to Easter Road in a closed-doors bounce game on their home pitch today.
However, the Finn is keen not to make any judgment on the duo until he has seen them in action and added: "We have got Denes and Markus in with us this week and hopefully we will get a chance to have a look at them in a match situation today. But there is no point in speculating on what might or might not happen.
"We will watch them today and take it from there."

To bow hunters near Antigo WI
I'm so pumped to get out in the woods this weekend, I'm having a hard time concentrating at work. Anyways, I gun hunt up in the Antigo/Shawano area. Can some bow-hunters in the area update me with any rut updates? Are we going to be catching any of the rut or is it over for the most part? And along with that can you suggest any scents that may help me out in the woods next week for a guy who does not bow hunt and is pretty unfamiliar with "scents"?
Thanks and good huntin'
I dont hunt up in that area, but the rut is pretty much the same all over the state the bucks are chaseing and roaming. And the big ones are really stupid right now.
Perfect, that's just the way I like them. Thanks
Hey mike ash welcome to the forum. Try using rutting buck lure with tarsal gland and doe in estrus. During the rut you really can't go wrong that setup.

A teenager who bought a new home after winning £500,000 in a McDonald's scratchcard contest has been given an Asbo for being a nightmare neighbour.
Josh Sargeant, then 17, spent £185,000 of his Monopoly game winnings on a house in a quiet cul-de-sac last year and embarked on a spree of late night parties.
"It's like living in a Tesco car park," resident Anne Hutchison told a court yesterday.
"The noise, traffic, swearing and behaviour has made it a living nightmare."
Nicola Norman, who lives next door to Sargeant in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, said she had to stay with friends to sleep.
Sergeant, 19, ignored council warnings.
He was banned from hosting parties and fined £2,000 at Lincoln magistrates court.
He said: "Winning the money put a lot of pressure on me.
"I have a lot hangers-on but I now live alone and can't say sorry enough."

MWB:. Robert A. Drury, GM of Alberta, Passes Away
My deepest condolences to his wife and family, and to the thousands of brethren of Alberta who must be devastated by this sudden loss of their friend, brother and Grand Master.
2 comments:
Thank you for those kind words, Chris. I know you remember him from your well-received talk in Edmonton back in October and how he, as Deputy Grand Master, stood up on behalf of Grand Lodge and said, "BRETHREN, THIS IS WHAT MASONRY IS ALL ABOUT!"ReplyDelete
I'll never forget it. I'll never forget him.
Hi Chris,ReplyDelete
My name is Tracy Miller. I work at the Freemasons Hall in Edmonton, Alberta. I had the pleasure of meeting you back in October/06 when you and a few of your Brothers came by the hall one evening.
Thank you for your kind words for Bob Drury. I only knew Bob a short time but I will never forget him. He always had a good joke, a beautiful smile and a twinkle in his eyes. He is going to be greatly missed by many people. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family.
Kindly sign your comment posts. Anonymous postings on Masonic topics have the same status as cowans and eavesdroppers, as far as I am concerned, and may be deleted if I don't recognize you or if I'm in a grumpy mood.

I was watching my friend Parker the other night. He is an incredible student leader and a talented young man.
He was working lights at our Saturday night service during our "You Own the Weekend" series. He was killing it, super passionate, incredibly creative—even his parents came to see his work!
I looked around the room and was so happy—adults were around talking to students and generally keeping order—but in most cases, students were serving in a ton of areas.
Got me thinking—when did this happen? I can think of a time not too long ago when we didn't have students serving in any significant way. When did students really start serving at our services like this? When did Parker move from attendee to ingenious lighting guy extraordinaire?
The answer was simple—when we had a place for him to serve! When we had all sorts of specific opportunities, students jumped in! We made it simple to get involved, we had something for everyone at all levels of spiritual commitment.
Made me wonder if maybe you're frustrated because students aren't involved in your ministry … and maybe it is because there isn't a role ready for them to immediately jump into. Maybe you have some ideas in your head, but it isn't clear to them.
Maybe you want them to merge with your ministry, but they're having some trouble finding the "on ramp." Seems elementary I know, but it made a huge change for us that paid massive dividends.

But I did end up leaving Ilha Grande yesterday via ferry back to the mainland and then a 7 hour bus ride to Sao Paulo. AK's sister Monika has a friend Kiko who lives here and we had been emailing about Brazil info and he offered up his place for me to stay last night. So nice of him to do that, and I was so excited to stay in an apartment for a night!
I was pretty tired when I got here but I decided I should rally and go out since I actually knew someone here to go out with. Everyone has told me that you really need to know someone to show you around Sao Paulo so how could I turn that down? We went out to meet Kiko's sister and some of her friends for dinner and I was excited to see the scene here in SP. So we get to the very Brazilian restaurant... Applebee's. I was very amused to be having a Fajita Chicken salad at Applebee's with a bunch of Brazilians. It was a fun night although I really wasn't able to follow the Portuguese conversation. I think it was for the best though since I was really too tired to participate in any sort of conversation. Today Kiko is going to show me around the city and then tonight I head out on the overnight bus to Igacu Falls.

17-year-old Lorde felt honoured and emotional when she heard that Bruce Springsteen covered her hit song Royals at one of his concerts.
The rock icon played an acoustic version of the track when playing a show in Lorde's home town of Auckland, New Zealand last Saturday, March 1.
Speaking to News.com.au, Lorde said, "My Twitter went mental. Everyone in New Zealand was like, 'You can't believe what just happened!' It was so exciting. It was the highest honour. He's such an incredible songwriter. I got a little teary. It was very cool.
"It's crazy when someone like that is covering your song. Those words were nothing before I put them into my laptop and started messing around with them in the studio. It's crazy to me they could come out of someone's mouth who is that respected."

Alton, 85, of Homewood at Martinsburg PHOENIX (AP) — Gov. Jan Brewer ignored criticism from President Barack Obama on Friday and signed into law a bill supporters said would take handcuffs off police in dealing with illegal immigration in Arizona, the nation's busiest gateway for human and drug smuggling from Mexico. With hundreds of protesters outside the state Capitol shouting that the bill would lead to civil rights abuses, Brewer said critics were "overreacting" and that she wouldn't tolerate racial profiling. "We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act," Brewer said after signing the law. "But decades of inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable situation." Earlier Friday, Obama called the Arizona bill "misguided" and instructed the Justice Department to examine it to see if it's legal. He also said the federal government must enact immigration reform at the national level — or leave the door open to' "irresponsibility by others." "That includes, for example, the recent efforts in Arizona, which threat en to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and their communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe," Obama said. The legislation, sent to the Republican governor by the GOP-led Legislature, makes it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally.

In addition to a successful campaign, executive director Rick Smith said the organization has strived to reduce expenses and cut operating costs since the event kicked off in order to "pass those savings along to our part ners." The 2009-10 campaign kicked off last August. "I am very happy with the allocations this year, and I'm confident that our partners will be happy with the allocations as well," Smith said. This year's campaign goal was slightly lower than in previous years, due to a bitter economy, but Smith said he found that people are still willing to donate to a worthy cause. — Continued on Page 3C-K's wrestling alum Mosser dies By the Gazette staff Dolan Mosser, the 22-year-old former Claysburg-Kimmel wrestler who had battled cancer for the past several years, died Friday. Friends in the wrestling community confirmed that Mosser's health had deteriorated recently. Friday, he collapsed and was rushed to an Altoona hospital where he died. Other details were not available Friday evening. Mosser was a 2006 graduate of Claysburg-Kimmel High School. He was first diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic lymphoma tumors and leukemia in 2007, and then developed a new chemo-resistant cancer. Through aggressive treatment, the cancer was pushed out and Mosser went into a remission that lasted about a year and a half, according to his aunt, Lori King, in a December 2009 Gazette article. In the spring of 2009, Mosser made a trip to Johns Hopkins, where doctors found a third type of cancer called AML leukemia. Eventually the cancer became immune to chemotherapy, and doctors told Dolan and his family that nothing else could be done. Dolan refused to stop fighting and requested that doctors try another option: a risky clinical trial. A bone marrow transplant from his older brother was performed, eliminating 96 percent of the can- Gazette File Photo DOLAN MOSSER cer. While recovering from the transplant, Dolan returned to Johns Hopkins each week for blood work and was taken off of antirejection drugs in an effort to .strengthen his immune system. Several community members and organizations have raised money to help fund Mosser's recovery over the years. As part of their senior project at Chestnut Ridge Senior High School, then students Brooke McCoy, Brooke Igou and Kaci Batzel presented a check to Mosser for nearly $5,000 on March 4, 2008.

(AP) — lb pray or not to pray? , l^at's the issue government leaders across the country are facing after a federal judge riiled that the National Day of Prayer set for May 6 was unconstitutional. The ruhng can't take effect until all appeals are exhausted, but that's not stopping atheists and prayer advocates from firing off letters, e-mails and even planning to put up billboards to convince state and local leaders across the country to see things their way. Nothing's changing in Tbpeka, Kan., says Mayor Bill Bunten. "Some of these judges have lost their way," Bunten said. "Every day is a day of prayer in most Kansas lives, whether they are Christian or Muslim or Jewish or whatever, and to say that a prayer day is illegal is just ridiculous. That judge better go back and re^d some history about how this country was fon|ed. Next thing you know we won't be able to si^'God Bless .^erica.'"

Enzymes could fix insomnia, hot flashes, pain, low energy and more
Much has been written about the necessity of digestive enzymes, but why exactly are they so important? In a nutshell, here's the answer.
An enzyme is a large protein molecule that is found in all living things, from food, to humans, to cats and dogs. In nutrition, they're essential to breaking down food into energy and ultimately making your body. Without enzymes the body cannot use proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fibers and the sugars we eat, leaving our bodies nutrient deficient.
Whether a person is not sleeping, has low energy, headaches, constipation, diarrhea or aches and pains, a common denominator could be enzyme deficiency. Enzymes could be the missing link that makes them whole again.
My own personal experience with enzymes made a lasting impression. I discovered enzymes during a time when I was having night sweats and hot flashes all the time. Now if you have ever experienced hot flashes and night sweats you can understand how frustrating they can be. I was not sleeping at night and could not get comfortable during the day. I tried many different things but nothing seemed to help.
I began to work with a practitioner who was clinically trained in enzymes, and I was pleasantly surprised at how effective enzymes were — and how quickly they worked. I was able to sleep through the night and wake up feeling refreshed.
After the experience, I studied with Dr. Hoard Loomis Jr. with the Loomis Institute and became certified to work with enzymes with my clients. The results are amazing, not just for hot flashes and night sweats, but with anxiety, depression, insomnia, digestive issues, headaches and the list goes on!
Feeling better, having more energy and ultimately improving the quality of your life might be as easy and simple as getting on the right enzyme protocol.

Optofluidics is the integration of optical and microfluidic systems to achieve novel functionalities. An important ability of optofluidics is the manipulation, assembly, and patterning of objects of interest in a microfluidic environment. Recent advances in nanophotonics have introduced exciting methods for biological and chemical sensing with single molecule sensitivities. Therefore, the integration of nanophotonic sensors with optofluidic manipulation platforms is essential for sensing and monitoring of single cells and other biomaterials. In recent years, optoelectronic tweezers (OET) have emerged as a powerful technique for the manipulation of micro and nanoscopic particles. Here, we will present the capabilities of OET optofluidic platform for parallel manipulation of single cells and large-scale patterning of nanophotonic sensors.

3) Electronic music producer
4) Acid metal band from Novi Sad, Serbia
1) A former member of trio Neurobot, since 2000 a solo artist who also performs in spontaneously created lineups (eg. with Thomas Ankersmit, Alexei Borisov, Xavier Charles, Phil Durrant, Facial Index, David Galbraith, Janko Hanushevsky, Martin Koller, Robert Piotrowicz, Ignaz Schick, Andrew Sharpley, Torben Tilly, Viön & Mem). He has played in Poland, Germany, Austria and France. He made 3 records with Neurobot: Normal Subjects (1998), Tarcza 9800 (2000), l.i.v.e.v.i.l. (2001) and 6 solo records Projekt Drei (2000), Mind Locations (2001), Atol Drone (2002), Superrecombination_sys (2002), Habitat (2004), Thinking Dust (2005). Neurobot's music explored the areas of improvised noise and power electronics, however, Wolfram's solo projects incline towards ambient music mixing blurred sounds in the foreground with the noise elements receded into the background. His slowly developing, mostly minimalist compositions are based on ambient and noise. The result of this fusion is music which seems calm, but is a full of tension underneath. Wolfram's latest album "Thinking Dust" has received enthousiastic reviews from music critics in Poland.
2) Czech metal band Wolfram was established in mid 80's (around 1983) in Prachatice by František Liška and Jiří Wagner. Shortly afterwards they were joined by the guitarist Roman "Krokus" Kříž. Since then the group had been called WOLFRAM. In the beginnig the group played mainly cover songs of bands like Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Kiss, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Saxon, AC/DC, Accept, Helloween, Dio, Loudness and others. In spite of many changes of its vocalists and drummers, Wolfram kept on performing at dancing balls. However, in the end of 80's the personal changes led to the band's brakeup. In 90's Roman "Krokus" Kříž and František Jordák established a new band this time with their own music and lyrics. The post of the drummer was luckily filled by talanted Petr Šanda (only 15 years old back then), who had stayed with the band ever since. The vocal and bass positions were complicated as the people were changing quite often. The first demotape was recorded and the guitarist Franta Jordák worked with Petr Janda on his compilation "Čeští mistři rockové kytary" (Czech Masters of Rock Guitar). In 1994 Wolfram wrote its first record "Sál času" (The Hall of Time), recorded in the studio of Petr Janda - Propast, sung by Pavla Kapitánová who left shortly afterwards. Milan Fiala took her post and in 1997 the second album "Misanthrope" (Czech and English version) had been made. Recorded in "Hacienda" of Miloš Dodo Doležal in the town Žirovnice. Wolfram also contributed two songs for the compilation "Creations from a Morbid Society Part III." released by Taga Records. Franta Jordák left the band shortly afterwards. Roman "Krokus" Kříž anounced a break of the band. Petr Šanda plays with Colp but stayed in contact with Roman "Krokus" Kříž for the future. In 1999 "Liars in a Second Skin" had been prepared, and recorded in the studio "Hacienda" the same year. Petr "Doldy" Dolének sings on this album. In 2001 Roman "Krokus" Kříž wrote two compositions for the compilation "Chamber Metal - Neoclassical Metal Guitar" released by american label Dwell Records. In June 2002 "Liars in a Second Skin" was released by small Czech label Leviathan Records. In 2003 new Wolfram material "No Redemption" had been written and recorded in "Hacienda". Wolfram was at the time: Petr "Doldy" Dolenek - vocal, Petr Šanda - drums, Jaroslav Eliška - bass and Roman Krokus Kříž - guitars. In 2011 Wolfram re-recorded old demo songs with new lyrics in the form of "Rarity" (Rarities) album with singer Jarda Mach ...

We know The Dark Knight Rises will not be shot in 3D. But will it be shot in full IMAX?
According to a report on Collider.com, Nolan's third Batman movie will most likely be shot entirely in IMAX's epic 70mm format.
Collider's source says: "I'm hearing that Nolan will try and shoot The Dark Knight Rises totally in IMAX. I've heard that IMAX has been quietly developing a smaller, less intrusive camera that will be able to handle dialogue scenes. If the camera is finished in time, expect Nolan to use it."
While that source goes on the run from Nolan's personal League of Shadows for leaking the info, the site reports that they have received a few emails confirming the rumor as true.
Here's why this is a big deal: No one has ever shot an entire narrative feature-film on this scale before entirely in IMAX. Nolan used IMAX to shoot select scenes in The Dark Knight, and when the director said no to 3D, he also commented that "We're looking to do something technologically that's never been done before."
The current IMAX camera is very bulky and loud, which makes recording of on-set dialog difficult, which in turn raises production costs to re-record all of the dialog in post-production. If IMAX has refined the tech, then that sound you hear are geeks finding a new reason to live while simultaneously losing their s!@#.

Treasury: over 700 responses to tax cut proposals
Over 700 responses were submitted to a Treasury consultation on the possibility of Northern Ireland being able to set its own tax rate.
The news was delivered in response to a parliamentary question from a staunch opponent of the campaign to lower corporation tax in Northern Ireland, Ulster peer Lord Kilclooney.
Formerly known as John Taylor, the media company owner believes funding the change would mean less money for public services and said that the only beneficiaries will be business people.
He had asked how many responses were received and how many of those responses were from individuals.
The Commercial Secretary to the Treasury, Lord Sassoon, told Lord Kilclooney: "The consultation on rebalancing the Northern Ireland economy closed on July 8, 2011.
"Initial analysis suggests that over 700 responses have been received. A summary of consultation responses will be published in due course."
The deadline for the consultation on the Treasury paper 'Rebalancing the Northern Ireland Economy', which opened in March, was put back twice from the initial closing date on June 24 to July 1 and then July 8.
Back in June there were fears of a disappointing reaction to the consultation, with insiders then reporting that responses were only in "the low three figures".
Devolving tax-setting powers to the Northern Ireland Assembly would allow politicians to set a unique corporation tax rate here.
Businesses and all five main political parties are backing the move to cut Northern Ireland's rate from 26%, the same as that applied to the rest of the UK, to something closer to the 12.5% rate in the Republic.
Supporters claim it would trigger a flood of foreign direct investment, influence more small businesses to incorporate and could generate 4,500 new jobs a year.
But others, including unions, are opposed to the move, saying it could only be delivered with an accompanying cut to public funding - as much as £400m - from the Treasury.
Secretary of State Owen Paterson embarked on a marathon PR campaign, visiting businesses and communities across Northern Ireland, urging as many people as possible to have their say on the Treasury paper.
"Rebalancing and rebuilding the economy is critical to the future prosperity of Northern Ireland and it is one of the Government's key priorities for Northern Ireland," he said.
"Both the Prime Minister and the Chancellor heard at first hand the importance of reviving the private sector on their recent visits."
