Is the Crazy Frog just the latest in a long line of novelty acts, or could it be the shape of things to come? Guy Blackman reports.
If you've been paying attention to the Australian charts in the past few months, you could be excused for thinking that real, living people were in the process of handing over the music business to a bunch of cartoons.
It's a strange new world when a little cartoon crocodile named Schnappi can make it to No. 6 (having topped charts all over Europe) and a band of moody animated teens called Gorillaz can climb to No. 3.
Even the chorus of Akon's Lonely samples 1950s crooner Bobby Vinton at such speed that the song is widely known as "the chipmunk song", in reference to the famous cartoon trio Alvin, Theodore and Simon.
Most inescapable of all, though, is Crazy Frog, whose ring-ding imitation of a two-stroke moped engine has taken it all the way to No. 1, despite being almost universally detested by every rational, music-loving human over the age of 12.
It seems we're in the midst of a worldwide phenomenon, a sudden demand for pop at its most transparently constructed and throwaway.
Put it down to tweens with mobile phones, broadband internet and cable TV making their presence felt in the music industry; kids brought up on a diet of computer games and SMS wanting something just as immediate and superficial from pop music.
And put it down, too, to record companies spotting an opportunity to perfect a creature they have been working on for almost 50 years - the completely synthetic pop star.
Since 1958, when writer-producer Ross Bagdasarian tripled the speed of his recorded voice to create the Chipmunk Song and sold more than 4 million copies in seven weeks, the music industry has recognised the appeal of fictional recording artists.
As technology has improved, so has the ability to remove that pesky, unpredictable human element from pop.
In fact, the Chipmunks were a fairly advanced model to begin with: three untiringly cheerful critters named after the bosses of their record company, who would never complain, ask for a pay rise or demand more artistic freedom.
Their spiritual successors the Monkees were rebellious and unwieldy by comparison.
The flesh-and-blood actors behind the manufactured quartet - whose wacky Beatles-inspired adventures played on American TV between 1966 and 1968 - eventually bit the hand that fed them and insisted on creative control, fighting to write the songs and play the instruments on their own recordings, and splitting with musical co-ordinator Don Kirshner shortly before their third album Headquarters.
Kirshner, though, had his revenge. Hired to produce a new song each week for CBS' new Saturday morning cartoon The Archie Show, which followed the adventures of a bunch of clean-cut, preppy teenagers, Kirshner used his Monkees experience to create the ultimate animated pop band.
The infectious Sugar Sugar became 1969's top-selling single in the US, beating out acts as illustrious and three-dimensional as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix.
Kirshner repeated the effect in 1970 with all-girl Archies' spin-off Josie and the Pussycats, but after that pre-fab pop went into hibernation. The early '70s was the era of the singer-songwriter, as the likes of Joni Mitchell, Carole King and Jackson Browne raised the possibility that music with real artistic intentions could top the charts.
But this was to be the exception proving the rule. By the mid-'70s, pre-fab pop was back, having jumped the Atlantic to Europe, where it has been based, largely, ever since.
In 1975, German entrepreneur Frank Farian released the sparse, self-produced Baby Do You Wanna Bump? under the name Boney M. When the song became a European smash, he hastily assembled a group of dancers and vocalists to perform live.
Most of the band's members had little or no part in the recording of their many subsequent hits, which included Rasputin and Rivers Of Babylon, and Farian eventually admitted that the band's frontman, Bobby Farrell, was chosen solely for his showmanship and dancing ability.
But even this manufactured success wasn't enough for Farian, who was by the mid-'80s looking for a way to market three singers he'd found with voices far more appealing than their looks.
So he employed two male models, Fabrice Morvan and Rob Pilatus, to lip-synch the trio's vocals, and thus created Milli Vanilli - the only band ever to have a Grammy Award (for their 1990 album Girl You Know It's True) taken away from them, when it was discovered they didn't sing on their own recordings.
Given this parade of artifice, it would be easy to see Crazy Frog as merely the endpoint of an inexorable process.
All of the genre's bag of tricks have been combined to make the first truly non-human pop star, the supervillain of pre-fab pop: vocals fashioned from a sampled imitation of a car engine; music from a cheap retread of someone else's song; and a performer out of a bug-eyed CGI cartoon.
But what makes the Frog even more invidious than its predecessors is the entirely corporate, market-researched nature of its creation. Crazy Frog's origins as a teenage Swede's hilarity-inducing vocal trick may be blameless enough, but every subsequent step, from animated irritant to ubiquitous ringtone to chart-topping hit, has been carefully planned and funded by shadowy telecommunications giants.
Seventeen-year-old high-school student Daniel Malmedahl first came up with the sound of Crazy Frog in 1997, as part of an extremely nerdy effort to replicate the sound of various automobile engines.
His particularly uncanny impersonation of a two-stroke moped came to the attention of a researcher for a Swedish television program, who invited Malmedahl to perform it live on the show.
Once recorded, the effect soon took on a new life as a novelty email attachment, initially on its own and later as part of a joke Insanity Test, which added a picture of a Formula One race car and challenged recipients to prove their sanity by watching for 60 seconds without laughing.
The phenomenon entered its current deranged amphibian stage in 2003, when animator and fellow Swede Erik Wernquist created a creature to accompany Malmedahl's sound effect.
Tellingly, he at first called his creation The Annoying Thing, but when German mobile phone company Jamba! licensed the animation and sound for distribution the following year, they elected to change its name to the less apologetic-sounding Crazy Frog.
From then on, money started talking. Jamba!, which trades in Australia and the UK as Jamster!, was bought in 2004 by American corporate giant Verisign, which oversees the entire .com and .net internet domains.
With virtually bottomless coffers at its disposal, Jamster! began its assault on the public psyche. The UK advertising campaign to promote Crazy Frog earlier this year was described by The Guardian newspaper as "the most pervasive in British television history".
In May alone the company bought 73,316 spots across all TV channels, ensuring that 87 per cent of the population saw its ads an average of 26 times.
The UK's Advertising Standards Authority was inundated with complaints, ranging from outrage at the frequency of the ads (15 per cent of which appeared twice during the same ad break) to complaints about the frog's ambiguous genitalia, which were later voluntarily censored.
In Australia, Jamster! went for similar market saturation but targeted mostly pay TV and Saturday-morning music video shows, hoping to appeal directly to a technologically aware youth demographic.
And they succeeded. The computer-generated frog quickly became the world's most popular mobile phone download, and soon earned another distinction - the first ringtone to ever reverse the traditional process and become a single.
Crazy Frog's version of Harold Faltermeyer's 1985 hit, Axel F (originally from the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack, but unimaginatively rejigged by German house DJs Reinhard Raith and Wolfgang Boss), was unleashed upon an ad-primed audience in May (June in Australia).
In the UK, Axel F easily outsold Speed Of Sound, the first single from Coldplay's latest album X&Y, keeping it from the No. 1 spot and making normally placid singer Chris Martin see red.
"That little frog ... brings me out in hives," he hissed. "That little thing should have its legs chopped off and I'd like to eat them in a restaurant."
Even Crazy Frog's original creators now feel a little like Dr Frankenstein must have as he realised the full monstrous potential of his creation. "I'm very, very, very stunned that it's gone so far, almost too far," Daniel Malmedahl told BBC News earlier this year - and that was before Axel F had been released.
Meanwhile, on his own personal website, animator Erik Wernquist states: "I personally hate that name (Crazy Frog) and deeply regret that I didn't put a stop to that early on."
But the worst is probably yet to come. Crazy Frog may be the current apex of artificial pop music, but it is just a prototype, a signpost pointing towards a future in which mobile phone chart crossovers and corporate virtual pop stars are the norm.
In the meantime, the new Crazy Frog single is a rehash of that old synthesiser chestnut Popcorn, and will soon be followed by a whole album of Crazy Hits, including versions of such immortal classics as the Village People's YMCA, the theme from Dallas and Pump Up The Jam.
For a creature with no apparent powers of speech (beyond that irritating moped noise), a whole album of covers seems quite a stretch. It will almost certainly prove an endurance test beyond the capabilities of most adult listeners.
Crazy Hits is released on Thursday; Crazy Frog's Popcorn is out on September 30

"About a month said Mr. Porte In conversa- tion on this subject, "infowpation reached this department that Thomas Mabbitt, a Providence manufacturer, had succeeded in doing with ramee what hundreds, I might say thousands, had tried and failed to is he bad, at small cost, woven ramee fibre into cloth. ramee fibre hich he had thus succeeded in weaving had been prepared by a process discovered by Charles Top- ham, a chemist of Salem, Mass.

M Gil- bert, proprietor of the Gilbert starch works of this city, and W. G. Work, sec- retary of the Sleeper starch works, have returned from Buffalo, N. Y., bringing the information that while there they sold their factories to a mammoth syndi- 3ate, which includes the proprietors of the largest starch works in the United States. Back of the American capitalists is a British syndicate. The price paid for the Gilbert works was and for the Sleeper works 51-0.000. Mr. Work is authority for the state- ment that the syndicate now owns or controls every starch factory of any im- portance in the United States with one single exception. The design is tohtmt the production and control prices. Some the factories will be closed. Those I in a position to know, say that the Sleeper works will be shut dowa aad perhaps the Gilbert factory. Bat No Recollection of Betef Granted a Decroe aad Lived With Him Wife Until HU Death. CijrccfSATi, Feb. Uni- ted States Attorney Harry Probasco has gone to Garden, O., to investigate a cam of fraudulent pension that rests upon a very curious circumstances. Some time ago a pension was granted to Nancy Smith, because she was the widow of soldier. Not long ago it came to tho ears of the District Attorney that this same Nancy Smith was not the widow of the soldier, but had been from him for many years before his death, airs. Smith was at once called, to time. Sho denied absolutely that she had been divorced from her hi band. Then the records were searched and the decree of divorce was found and she was confronted with it. Then sho made a curious statement, which resulted in tho present investiga- tion. She said that her husband was a worthless fellow and was wasting her property in dissipation. She consulted with lawyers and they in some way en- abled her to administer the property as a single woman. She thought it niighl be possible that they had obtained a di- vorce for her without her knowledge She remembered of testifying in court to the character of her husband and to his treatment of her, but of any talk ol divorce she had no recollection. As proof of this she states that she lived on with the man whom she sup posed to be her husband, keeping him as straight as possible and treating him in every way as her husband. This case is probably without a parallel in the records of pension cases, which contain many curious things. The question is whether the Government will be able to prosecute its case and obtain the monej which has already been paid out, if the woman's story is found credible am more than probable.

The Ledger says: The anthracite coal trade con- tinues very dull for domestic sizes and as active as ever for the furnace and small steam sizes, which have become very scarce. The price for pea coal has been advanced to at the mines, and most of the shippers are dis- inclined to book new contracts for that size, as they have already more orders than they can supplv. Some of the iron furnaces in the Lehigh and Sohuylkill valleys have begun to use broken coal to make up the shortness in the supply of lump and steamboat sizes and this will afford some relief to the market, which is gorged with a large accumula- tion of broken, egg, stove and chestnut sizes. The prices for anthracite are weaker than they have been at any time since last May. Shading from the circular figures is being done openly, even by the large mining and carrying companies. Th8 Pveading company is selling to every- body at ten cents per ton below the cir- cular nrices. and tboagentsof the Penn- svlvania Railroad Company are reported as selling their anthracite at twenty to twenty-five cents per ton below the cir- cular prices. The Wyoming and Lehigh individual operators have unsettled the New rk and Now England markets by freely and openly selling stove coal at a cat from forty to fifty cents per ton, and in some instances at a con- cession.

Winds of up to 80mph closed the seaside promenade in Penzance after huge waves damaged the town's sea wall.
Hundreds of passengers on two broken- down Virgin trains were stranded for three hours on the Devon coast line.
The sea also came up over the harbour walls in Looe, throwing rocks on to the harbour front and part of the sea wall at Newlyn in Cornwall collapsed.
Nearly 100 homes were also flooded on Wednesday at Looe and Kingsand with trains stopped by trees on the line.
The 1005 Glasgow to Penzance and 1625 Plymouth to York services both cut out on a coastal section of track at Dawlish in Devon.
The line was blocked in both directions, causing long delays in and out of the region.
Virgin Trains said the drivers had reported experiencing "some of the worst conditions they could remember".
The Penzance-bound passengers were eventually transferred to another train, and the York-bound service was pulled into Exeter by another train.
Emergency services dealt with a number of fallen trees, and power cables brought down by the storm-force winds.
Storm damage includes:
Surfers defied coastguards' warnings at Mevagissey, Porthleven on the Lizard Peninsula and at Penzance.
A Falmouth coastguards spokesman said that while the surf on the north coast was negligible, waves on the south coast were "monstrous".
He said: "Inexperienced surfers are dicing with death if they go out in these conditions.
Brittany Ferries' 1600 service from Plymouth to Santander in northern Spain was cancelled because of the stormy conditions.
The storm conditions also affected ferry service to the Isles of Scilly.
A spokesman for the Isles of Scilly Steamship Company said it did not look as though there would be a service on Thursday either.

Cpvc female adapter w/ o-ring
I'm in the middle of redoing my guest bath and am into the plumbing. I have installed a new shower valve with 4 male 1/2" pipe outlets (hot, cold, shower, bath). To plumb in the hot and cold I used cpvc female adapters with the o-rings. When I tighten them down as snug as I would expect it I appear to bulge the o-ring. It is leak free but i worry about the flow (takes roughly 8 to 10 seconds to fill a gallon bucket). Are these o-rings supposed to bulge? Does my flow sound restricted?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
I've never heard of CPVC fittings with O rings, how about a picture.
Should have been glued fittings.
I think what you are talking about is there is a bib washer in the female adapter.
First off all you DO NOT want to make a connection like this inside a wall. It needs to be a solid connection.
Either a sweated joint, a shark bite connector but not what you are wanting to do.
I am planing to use this to make the valve to cpvc connection http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl...t:429,r:18,s:0
Start your own post and you may get answers.
I have seen this at hardware stores cpvc male adapter with o ring on female part....as mentioned you do not want to make this connection in the wall either solder fittings or shark bite ...I would not trust those fittings...
Here is what I used...
I saw the other female adapter version (linked above) and in fact used the other version on my kitchen remodel. Not really sure why I grabbed what I did?
Is the one in my link not code for behind wall or is that more a personal sentiment?
The one linked above will be better than the one you have.
I don't think PVC/CPVC female adapters are code legal. In any case, I sould never use one inside a wall.
I've had that style fitting crack in half before. Get rid of it.
Threw me off when the OP said o ring, it's a flat washer.
Correct, it's a flat washer not an o-ring. Think I'll go the shark bite route.

Cracks appearing in garage slab
I have a new (5 months old) slab; approximately 25' X 30', 4" thick, 3500psi, wire mesh and fiber reinforced.
The slab was allowed to cure over a month before anything heavy was put on the floor.
About a 2 months ago a hairline crack developed near the middle of the floor. And now I see a new hairline crack appearing length-wise.
Needless to say I am not to happy about this.
Should this be something that I should be concerned about with the integrity of the floor or is it more of a cosmetic issue?
It stinks, but thats what concrete does. It cracks. But thats not as bad as having a low spot in the concrete floor and when it rains hard, the rain comes in under the garage door and puddles inside the garage.
That really stinks!
I believe yours to be purely cosmetic.
You should have had control joints sawed in th slab to control where the cracks will occur and eliminate the appearance of random cracks. Nothing can be done about that now.
If you want to put in a lift now and not increase the cracks, saw cut the locations (diamond shape at each post) of the post locations and put in a separate Sonotube footing. That way you will support the lift independently of the slab and not worry about cracks and settlement that could screw up your drainage.
Thanks for the advice. It's a great idea. Do you know of any web links where someone has done something similar?
I don't know of any web links but I just wanted to second the great idea...
I've never dug a diamond shaped footer, but a footer is needed. A four post lift requires a concrete footer a certain width to bolt to right? I mean the metal flange on the bottom of the metal post is going to be something like a 10"X10" or a 12"X12" flange. So your footer needs to go out past that about 4"s. Making the footer either 14X14 or 16X16. Dig down till you hit solid dirt and at least 8"s deep.
You asked for pictures, but if I posted pictures, it would be of cut concrete with some over cut marks and new concrete poured. You will be able to tell by looking at that you did this as an add on.
Unless you do some cosmetic work.
If you do not do this, then you may attaching your lift to a section of concrete that is not the full 3.5"s that concrete pads normally are. Keep in mind that they form them with 2X4's and those measure out to 3.5"s. And after they spread the grade and pour the concrete and may end up being less.
Actually, four post lifts usually don't bolt in. But all 2 post lifts do, so I don't think that is an issue but never the less cutting in separate footings seems like a great idea.
Thanks for the info, I was thinking that they all were bolted to the floor.
I have used the Quikrete Concrete Crack Seal:
...but it has dried out and needs to be redone already after a year. The cracks have grown a bit and it has been exposed to the mild elements here in Southern California. It may work better for you however being in a garage.
If the cracks have stopped growing I would try mortar. Its cheap enough to give it a shot...
Around here the code for garage slabs has gone to 5" thick and rebar reinforcement. Then they saw in lines to control where the cement cracks. As for footings for the lift, I was thinking a 4 post lift with car wouldn't have much more weight than a 4 wheeled car so why bother with footings for it unless it's a 2 post lift.
These lifts can be in the 1500- 1700 lb range. You store one car on top and park another underneath. That's alot of weight on a 4" slab.. Once you pour the footings, the lift and the car it carries don't factor into the load on the floor.

Due to an overwhelming response to our opening of Sugar Hill Harlem Inn in September 2005,we have added 4 new rooms,each with a private bathroom, in another building 6 blocks north of here.The address is 408 Convent Ave between 147th and 148th street.
The whole building is light and airy and there is central air throughout. The house is similar to the 460 W141st location ,which was built around the same time.It is a limestone Victorian row house on a tree lined street,mostly Ginkgo. It was almost completely gutted and rehabbed in 2006,so the inside is more modern than the main house.Throughout the building all the hardwood floors are new,all the electric and plumbing and light fixtures are new as are all the bathrooms.
Unfortunately many of the original details are gone.There is only one fireplace,but the original staircase is there with some interesting details in the front entrance including 2 floor to ceiling mirrors and some stain glass windows.This main entrance floor is known as the parlor floor.It is a large room,15'x50′ with high 11 ft ceilings and hard wood floors.
Although this is a large beautiful space, it is not used so much by the guests so we have functions there,for weddings,showers,parties and corporate meetings etc.There is a computer on this floor and a telephone,that is there for all to use.There is a small bathroom on this floor.A staircase leads downstairs to the garden floor where there is a dining area and a sitting room area, a large,fully equipped communal kitchen with a built in island table, and doors that lead out into a small garden.There are laundry facilities available also on this floor.Bamboo floors have been installed throughout.The house has 4 floors and 2 of the floors have 2 bedrooms on each floor,each with a private bathroom.One of the bathrooms has a jacuzzi,and one has a separate tub,the other bathrooms just have showers.
The address of the new building is 408 Convent between 147st and 148st.It is one block from the subway which is an express subway stop for 2 trains,the A train and the D train.If you click map you can see where each of these trains take you.The A train,the blue line takes you from Inwood all the way at the top of Manhattan down the west side past 42nd st following 8th ave.From the Sugar Hill and Convent Ave. to Times Sq takes only 10-15 minutes as the train only stops 3 times once at 125th and once at 59th,the bottom of Central Park and then 42nd st.By the way the subway is most always refered to as the train.The A train continues into the West Village,also called Greenwich Village,then on to SoHo and Canal St.,speeding along past Wall st and under the Hudson River to Brooklyn Heights into Queens and as far as Howard Beach where you can catch a free bus or pay $5 to take the Air Train to JFK.Yes you can actually get to the airport for $2,not too bad,but I still say FREE is much better and you can click here to read more about that idea
The D train,the orange line, follows the same path as the A train till it gets to 59th st.Then it turns east to 6th Avenue, (Avenue of the Americas),then it heads south passing Rockefeller Center,and Radio City Music Hall,42nd st,West Village,where it veers off to the East, into the Lower East Side,China Town and on into Brooklyn and eventually Coney Island.

[1]Ty Warner, creator of Beanie Babies, was charged with tax evasion on Wednesday[2].
According to Warner's attorney, he plans to plead guilty to the tax evasion and pay a $53 million penalty. Warner is accused of not reporting $3.1 million in gross income in 2002 that was in a Switzerland-based bank account. He will likely be able to pay the penalty, as Forbes has recently estimated his net worth at $2.6 billion. Warner may have to spend up to five years in prison and pay additional fines, reports the Detroit Free Press.
The United States made an agreement with Switzerland last month that will allow Swiss banks to pay penalties and name names of U.S. taxpayers that have used the banks for misdeeds. A new law will take effect next year that will require foreign banks to report information regarding accounts held by U.S. taxpayers to the Internal Revenue Service, reports The Wall Street Journal[3].

Re: Renegade & PARANoIR Present: WWE 2006
Smackdown Feedback
- Great promo by HBK to open the show. From the get-go, the character has a purpose. The characterisation was nicely done as well. Good start to the show.
- First of all,
@ 'I'M AN IRISH WANKER AND I LOVE TO FIGHT'. A very good opener, with lots of fast-paced action (as there should be in a tag team match). I think you made Orton look very strong at the expense of everyone else looking weak here. Obviously Jericho getting kicked in the head was something you had planned, but by the end Finlay was doing nothing, and Rey got absolutely dominated by Orton, not even getting any offence in. Perhaps Finlay could've knocked Rey out of the ring or something? That wouldn't have the faces look so weak.
Oh BTW, 'Well thats great Michael, youre a commentator and youve got nothing to say. Fuckhead. I hope Big Show falls on you.' = Line of the night.
- Again, good promo from Regal and Heyman. A nice way to debut Harry Smith. It's always good to introduce someone with an ally to get a head start in the game. I LOVE~! the idea of a British Empire! We can take The Land Down Under back too.
- The Tag Title match was decent, but not as good as the opener obviously. Nothing much to say here, other than I hope the Frenchies get the f' out soon.
- I didn't feel the backstage segment with Orton and Jericho was necessary since Jericho has already been owned by Orton tonight, but I guess you want Orton to look as strong as possible for Jericho's return.
- Kennedy's promo was NICE! Very good characterisation, completely over the top, as Kennedy should be. Not much to say here. This is a good show; trust me - ask others; they'll tell you how much of a nitpicker I am.
- Kennedy going over was obvious enough, and rightfully so. I liked how Kennedy simply clicked his fingers at Matt after the match, showing where the power lies. It'll be good to see Kennedy vs. Matt for the US Championship next week.
- A decent segment with Booker and Regal/Smith, but why the hell would Booker care about Smith making an impact? It didn't make much sense.
@ Regal slapping Booker. I'm glad to see a Regal who can stand up for himself and not be everyone's bitch. I guess you're going to use Booker as the first "stepping stone" for Harry Smith. Wolfy will be proud.
- I can't really comment on the Cruiserweight Title match since it was so short, but nonetheless 'twas expected that London would retain the title.
- LOL, nice segment with Santino and "Nunzino". I think Santino is about to get squashed.
- Urgh, Goldberg. I didn't like the "ya dumb son of a bitch" line. That sounded more like Austin than Goldberg. This was probably the worst part of the show. Goldberg to be jobbed out plz.
I knew this sort of thing would happen. No need to comment on a squash.
- I'm not sure this JBL interview should've come so soon after the Goldberg one. Nonetheless, I liked this interview and again, the characterisation was there. I really can't find much to criticise in this show.
- Thank God JBL didn't submit to the Ankle Lock. It would've made him a little weak to be dominating then suddenly tap out. Anyway, a decent match. I think the most important thing here was the aftermath. With Goldberg, JBL and Shawn Michaels will vying for a title shot, I assume we'll either see a Triple Threat next week, or a Fatal 4-Way for the title soon enough.
Overall Para, a decent "debut" show. There wasn't anything particularly bad in the show and I didn't find that much to criticise, but it wasn't a great show. I think it'll be a few more shows before your real skills start to show, as is expected when joining a BTB thread. Most promos were good with the characterisation there, but the matches seemed a little boring. The opener and the main event were OK, but everything else seemed like filler. Anyway, I'll be back soon to check out the next show.

E.B. White once wrote that New York is to the nation what the white church spire is to the villagethe visible symbol of aspiration and faith, the white plume saying the way is up! And so we share the grief of all those who lost loved ones in New Yorkand here at the Pentagon and in that Pennsylvania field. We share their grief, and we pray for peace even as fear and reality begin to penetrate: Terror can strike anywhere.
We know of eight GW alumni who were among the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks. They are listed in a special section on page 39, and we send the sympathy of the GW community to all their bereaved loved ones.
Obviously, what was on the editors minds in planning for this issue was politics, for here youll find three very different kinds of political stories. Inside, Deborah Kalb offers an insightful profile of Missouris new senator, Jean Carnahan, BA 55, who was appointed to the senate seat her husband (also a GW alumnus) was running for when he was killed in a plane crash; Robert Lehrman examines the impact of the Web on politics through the eyes of GWs Graduate School of Political Management Professor Michael Cornfield and the Democracy Online project; and Jamie Freedmans cover story takes a fascinating look at GW grads whove joined the Peace Corps. And be sure to check out what our president did on his summer vacation! A rich potpourri of newsin words and photosrounds out the contents of this winter 2002 issue of the magazine.
It bears noting that this issue marks a happy milestone for the editor. Some 11 autumns ago, I was listed as editor on GW Magazines very first masthead! Subsequently I accepted another GW assignment and only now have schemed and connived my way back into the job Ive always wanted to return to. Who says you cant end a sentence with a preposition? And who ever said you cant go home again?
Please enjoy the magazine, which truly flourishes on feedback, be it positive or negative. Heather and Jamie and I need to hear what our readers think. We want to know better what our readers are doing, and what they want and dont want. So be in touch; well be looking for your e-mail, your letter, or your call.

Welp, I've been nosing around a bunch of threads, and I think it just might be time for a thread to put our predictions where our worries are! (How's THAT for a mangled adage? :D)
For the benefit of anyone who gives a flying rat's petard, or is unfamiliar with what I used to do on the SunSpot Forum, here's the deal --
Many (most? all?) of us have pretty strong feelings about how well the Ravens will do. It seems to me that the perception(s) we have of the team and its eventual success or failure often get motivated by a "What happened lately?" view of the team's activities. Dab's "Are we better or worse" thread hit me like a Bert Jones pass over the middle into my forehead that it's time to document for posterity (or posteriors) the current thinking on how well the Ravens will do in the upcoming 2011-2012 season.
More of the deal -- I want to get predictions on what everyone thinks the Ravens regular season record will be for this season. I'll start another thread like this one AFTER training camp is over and before the 1st regular season game, asking again for predictions.
Benefits of these threads -- At the very least, it offers a chance to look back during the season when a "fight" breaks out in a thread, where someone posts that the NEVER said the Ravens wouldn't win (or lose) x number of games. It's useful when a potser says "I TOLD ya so!" and we can check back to see what was said. IMHO, it's also instructive to see how opinions change (or not) as the roster changes, as the FA's get signed (or not), as the injuries occur (or not) and the Next Man has to stand up, etc.
So, the rules--
1) Post your prediction for the Ravens for 2011-2012 REGULAR season.
2) Please make a single prediction - it's difficult to summarize when I get "between 8 and 12 wins". :D Plus, that doesn't tell me much.
3) That being said, please feel free to add comments or extra conditions, post-season predictions, etc.
4) Do NOT "edit" your predictions. Some may actually think that you waffled on your initial guess and went back after the fact just to make your prediction look good. ;) If you do want to change your guess, just make a second post with any update(s).
I'll create a Word file with the summarized results, and make it (or the results) available throughout the year or on request.
Have fun, and GO RAVENS!!

My high marks reflect my actual experience over the many years. Ronald Bass was my mother's attorney and is mine. He is brilliant and very methodical in estate planning, keeping up to date as the laws change. I highly recommend Ronald Bass and feel confident others will find comfort in knowing their affairs are being well cared.

ONTARIO - James Kidwell, a retired Ontario-Montclair School District employee, passed away Wednesday.
School officials made the announcement at Thursday's school board meeting, closing the meeting in his honor.
"He definitely did touch the lives of many and our thoughts are with his family at this time," board president Elvia Rivas said.
Kidwell, who served as deputy superintendent for the district, retired in 2010.
He worked at OMSD for more than 12 years.
Superintendent James Hammond described Kidwell as "a remarkable man."
Hammond said Kidwell was the one administrator, when he first arrived in the district, who truly passed the baton to him.
"He didn't have to do this but on occasion, he would get an email or an phone call, and he just wants to check in and say hello," he said.
Hammond said he has received several phone calls and emails about Kidwell's legacy in the district.
"I was very saddened by his passing and he will be missed," Hammond said. "His legacy will live on with his family, students and staff that he impacted."
Services for Kidwell have not been announced.

science-based ideas for mastering your habits and living an optimal life.
some interesting articles helped me with getting better at self discipline. It's hard to make the annoying or painful near term investment in order to get the long term payoff. I like to get better at skills, and in general it takes "deliberate practice", which turns out not to be quite as much fun as playing.

Date of Stay: April, 2010
Too much dust from vehicle traffic in the park. Casino is 1/2 mile away, on other side of Highway 25. I would not return. Check in staff person was not friendly. No information provided on shuttle to casino and it runs only when commuter train (Rail Runner) stops at the station. No information on Wi-Fi in literature. The campground is also a camping facility for day and weekend campers (groups of them) and was very noisy during the day. There are lots of barking dogs. Price was not conducive to otherwise attracting people for the casino.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
This campground is under recent new ownership (a year or so), and the owners are hard at work to make this a sought destination. The area is growing fast and there are a number of golf courses in the area. Other campers in the campground laude the owner's efforts to satisfy the residents. I'd go out of my way to come back. Rates are very good.


text: I notice many threads on this form and others where folks mention LEO's asking them this question during traffic stops. Am I alone in thinking that the only thing the officer needs to know about would be possible criminal activity or anything you might be required by law to notify them about? That if what I have with me, if not illegal, is nothing he needs to know about? Is the axe, machete, chainsaw or fertilizer any of his business? What about the soda pop, chips and that sweet rifle I just picked up at the gun shop?

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Our historic home is located in the town of Preston, MN. Preston is 8 miles away from Lanesboro, MN. Our guests enjoy the peace and quiet of Preston with the amenities of Lanesboro a short drive or bike ride away. This property has many unique, original features that one cannot find elsewhere including beautiful stained glass windows, exquisitely carved wooden fireplace and pillars, large upstairs balcony with seating, beveled glass windows in every door, original light fixtures, built in cabinets, original hardwood floors and doors, original functioning radiator system that is very unique, and grand staircase. Even the ceilings feature intricate wooden beams. Each bedroom has brand new beds, top line sheets and feather pillows, new shades and window treatments, new Roku flat screen televisions (in the 3 queen bedrooms) and DVD combination flat screen televisions (in the twin sized bedrooms). Wifi is available on-site. The house has a large indoor front porch with sitting areas and swing. A laundry area with new front-loading washer and dryer is provided for guest use along with detergent. The house has an outside private patio area with table and chairs and gas grill. There is also a small covered back deck in case it starts to rain. There is a fire pit with chairs for everyone who wants a s'more or nighttime campfire. There is parking room for at least five cars, and a basketball hoop in the driveway. The reading room comes complete with recliners for relaxing while you soak in the sun or listen to the rain outside. We provide books and games on site or bring your own. The kitchen is filled with stainless steel appliances including refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and microwave. Brand new dishes and utensils are also provided for guest use, and our guests can either eat at the four seat island in the kitchen or the six seat table in the dining room under the original lighting and stain glass window. The living room boasts an exquisite hand carved wooden mantle and fireplace that is one of a kind along with brand new couch, loveseat and chair, and large flatscreen TV.

Eric and Tara Corson purchased this house in 2012
Eric has lived next door to this historic property for 35 years and always wanted to restore it to its original condition. This property has many unique, original features that one cannot find elsewhere including beautiful stained glass windows, exquisitely carved wooden fireplace and pillars, large upstairs balcony, beveled glass, original light fixtures, original hardwood floors and doors, original functioning radiator system that is very unique, and grand staircase. This is a one of a kind property unlike anything else in the area.
This property is located on a quiet street three blocks from the Root River Bike Trailhead. It is four blocks from downtown Preston. Preston is seven miles away from Lanesboro, Minnesota so you can get all of the benefits of Lanesboro without all of the crowds. The house has a large back yard with a fire pit for campfires, and a basketball hoop in the driveway. There is a brand new washer and dryer on site for guest use. This is one of the largest non-B&B homes in the area that is available as a vacation rental by owner. As described above, this home is packed with unique original features that have been preserved in the house. This is a beautiful, quiet neighborhood that you will enjoy visiting.
The house is even more charming than the pictures show. Beds and bedrooms are comfortable. Hosts were very gracious. A very relaxing and peaceful environment. Everyone had a wonderful time.
I stayed here with a group of friends for a winter get-away and it was perfect! There is a big room for gathering together and lots of bedrooms with assorted arrangements. The house is beautiful with lots of early-20th century character. The hosts were great to work with and very accommodating.
Five of us stayed at this Preston hideaway and had a fabulous weekend! We used all the space in the house and had a bonfire our last night with a beautiful full moon. The house was great - beds were comfortable, plenty of room, and the character of the house is present everywhere. We shopped in Lanesboro down to Harmony and had great eating and drinking experiences along the way. Thanks to Tara for meeting us, giving us the history of the house and making our stay so memorable!
We were 5 friends sharing the house for the weekend. The listing description was accurate as to location, layout and amenities. It's an older house that has plenty of space for people to congregate or spend some quiet time alone. There's a sun porch on the ground floor and a balcony (off one of the bedrooms) on the second floor, as well as a large living room and dining room. The house has been well maintained. Tara (the owner) was very pleasant and helpful (especially when we locked ourselves out of the house). She and Eric made themselves available, in case we had any problems. We were in the area to do some biking. Both the Root River Trail and the Harmony Preston Trail, were very nice to bike. We had a lovely time and would highly recommend this property to others.
A wonderful experience, our 2nd time visiting. A very quiet and restful environment. Only a short distance from the trail. Very accomodating, definitely recommend it.
This property wonderfully accommodated our large group of 3 families - 6 adults and 6 kids. 2 kiddos slept on sofas but there would have been plenty of room on the floor in one of the queen bedrooms had we remembered our air mattresses. Beautiful outdoor space! Kids enjoyed running around the yard, we all enjoyed the patio with grill. Kitchen was large enough to accommodate gatherings around meal prep and overflow dining space. Dining room was a great place to eat and enjoy games. Everything was clean including bedding and towels. Great to have laundry accommodations if we would have needed them for a longer stay. A couple visits from neighborhood dog and cats. We took advantage of close proximity to the trail and Mystery Caves. It was a beautiful, historic home and we enjoyed it immensely!
Preston is know as Minnesota's trout capital! This historic home is located near many freshwater trout streams that are restocked by the fish hatchery in Lanesboro. Take a tour of the National Trout Center just blocks away or try a guided trout tour from one of our local outfitters! Leisurely tube or canoe down the Root River or hike in one of the many local state parks. Preston is a bikers dream hub with the Root River State Trail and the Harmony-Preston Valley Trail located just BLOCKS from your Home Away From Home! Preston is only 8 miles from Lanesboro which hosts a live theater and many specialty shops.

congrats you get a cookie
Good job, this is delicious.
No longer have to drag the gem into the comparison and keep any socket bonuses in mind? Nice.
Nice changes! I have a request, though, that I've thought about for a little while. It'd be cool if you could search for a comparison directly, eg if you searched for "fordragon blades vs lupine longstaff" this page would come up.Thanks :)
Haha this covers some of what I have written as a proposal in the forums a while agoGlad to see it has been finally implementedGood job Wowhead!
Set bonuses! Yay! Many thanks guys, a very nice enhancement :-)
Snipehunter: You can Shift-click items if right-clicking them is proving to be an issue for you!
Awesome! Thank you so much for this!
It's not so much an issue as it quite literally only takes a couple of seconds to turn the feature on or offAlso while Shift+Left-click works to bring up the enchant options on the Item Comparison page (oddly, as that is the short-cut to open a link in a new window - I sense more javascript shenanigans), it doesn't work on the Character Profile page to bring up that page's menu (find an upgrade etc) - it just opens the item in a new window. All in all, though, it's great work.
May not be related to this change but I'm getting a bunch of "NaN" for stats. Know what this is about?http://www.wowhead.com/?compare=40829.0.3795.0.41285.40117:40810.0.1603.0.40140:40790.0.3832.0.40117.40145:40850.0.3853.0.40117.40140:40884.0.3232.0.40145:40870.0.3793.0.49110:42119:40818.104.22.168.40140.40117:40890.0.3845:42082.0.1099:42042:47729:48404.0.3789.0.40117.40140:48404.0.3731.0.40117.40140:48424:42126:42133;42561.0.3229edit: updated linkI also notice that the belt buckle socket won't show the gem you put in it but still shows the correct stats.
Are there any plans to make the item comparison tool, and/or access to the Wowhead Database for that matter, available on the iPod Touch/iPhone as an app?Or does it exist and I just missed it...
http://www.wowhead.com/?forums&topic=91378I feel vindicated. :)
This is the first time I've noticed the separate item "...of the..." something items being comparable. I might be behind on this news, but nice addition all the same!
Great work, just one issueGemming does not seem to allow you to break socket bonuses. I want to compare two pieces of gear, one of which has a useless bonus on a blue socket. The comparison tool does not allow me to put a red gem in the blue socket, only blue/green/purple.
Enhancement? Enhancement!It had to be done.
Awh man, thanks this is awesome. :)

I've been struggling with gyno since i was 12 since it came bc of puberty. and I started smoking weed this year and i done a surgery like 2 days ago and wondering if weed does actually cause it to come back? I live in Amsterdam so it's legal here. thank you
Does Weed Cause Gyno After Surgery?
Doctor Answers 2
Gynecomastia Surgery, Marijuana, and Recurrence?
Thank you for the question.
Although possibly controversial, I think most physicians would agree that marijuana can cause hormonal changes that potentially lead to growth of breast tissue. Therefore, the use of marijuana can (at least theoretically) cause recurrence of gynecomastia after surgery.
Given that you are investing your time and finances in surgery to correct gynecomastia, I would suggest that you avoid any substance that can (even potentially) lead to a recurrence.
Best wishes.

The latest information on time-shifted television viewing has revealed solid growth for some of Ten Network's programs.
Early this year, the TV ratings company started releasing data on the viewing of recorded programs during the week after they first went to air.
The resultant "consolidated" ratings data, which is released eight days after programs go to air, combines live viewing, "as live" viewing – the watching of recorded programs on the day they are first shown – and time-shifted viewing.
The consolidated ratings for the week ended November 12 show big gains for some Ten programs when time-shifted viewing is added to the live and "as live" audience numbers. (Live and "as live" data is released overnight each day.)
The November 6 episode of Ten's American drama series Terra Nova had a modest 704,000 live and "as live" capital-city viewers. But its consolidated audience number was a more respectable 872,000, that is, 168,000 people recorded the episode and watched at some point during the following seven days.
The 168,000 increase was the equal largest seen for that week in absolute numbers: Seven Network's Body of Proof also posted a 168,000 gain, rising from 914,000 in the overnight ratings data to 1.08 million on a consolidated basis.
Ten's NCIS and NCIS: Los Angeles saw gains of 150,000 and 143,000 viewers respectively that week when time-shifted viewing was included. The former's consolidated audience was 1.23 million and the latter's was 958,000.
Some of the biggest percentage gains that week were achieved by Ten programs.
The low-rating American drama Ringer saw its audience jump 32.2 per cent, from 314,000 in the live and "as live" data to 415,000 in the consolidated numbers.
The long-running series House had 317,000 live and "as live" viewers and 414,000 consolidated viewers, an increase of 30.6 per cent.
The second episode of Parenthood shown by Seven that week posted one of the biggest percentage increases, jumping from 366,000 in the overnight numbers to 495,000, an increase of 35.2 per cent.
Although most of the programs that see big audience gains when time-shifted viewing is included are drama series, Seven saw healthy increases for its reality series The X Factor and Beauty and The Geek.
Nine Network's biggest gainer in absolute number terms was Underbelly: Razor, which increased from 1.43 million viewers to 1.59 million when time-shifted viewing was included, a rise of 11.2 per cent.
In terms of a percentage increase, Nine's best performer was the American remake of the British drama Prime Suspect: it had 359,000 overnight viewers and 471,000 consolidated viewers, an increase of 31.2 per cent.

Franklin Co. Election Recap
By MJ Kneiser, WLHR Radio, Lavonia
Lavonia voters said no on Tuesday to a liquor by the drink referendum.
Only 84 people cast a ballot out of the population of over 2,000 in that referendum that asked whether local restaurants in Lavonia should be allowed to serve alcohol by the drink on Sundays.
Of those 84, 43 said no and 41 said yes.
In August, the Lavonia City Council voted to put the referendum on the ballot.
Lavonia City Manager Gary Fesperman said the council chose to do that after the city was contacted by several local establishments.
In FranklinCounty there were few surprises.
Four of the county's five municipalities had contested city council races.
In all of those races, incumbents easily kept their seats for another term.
Lavonia did not have a contested council race.
