Seattle Campus
Class description
Welcome to English 109. This stretch model of the first year composition course is designed to enhance the critical writing, reading and thinking skills needed to write effectively at the college level. Over the next ten (and a half) weeks we will spend a great deal of time reading through and discussing the writing strategies of others. However, your writing will be the primary activity. Throughout the quarter, you will write and revise a number of shorter papers that may range from 1 to 4 pages and one longer essay (4-6 pages) using library research. Expect to be reading and writing daily.
You will also spend progressively more time preparing a writing portfolio of your course work as well as reflections on that writing. I will not give your work a formal letter grade until you have completed your portfolio, although I will make comments on your assignments and meet with you at least twice for one-on-one writing conferences.
Student learning goals
To be able to read and annotate an academic article
To gain familiarity with traditional academic grammar and style conventions
To acquire a vocabulary for discussing writing (topic, argument, organization, introduction, conclusion, transition, rhetorical conventions/situations, etc.)
To be able to write a summary, abstract, extended definitions

The Katsina command of the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says it has arrested a 60-year old Muhammad Sani Bawa with 167 kilograms of cannabis.
Parading some suspected drugsdealers yesterday, the agency's commander for the state, Hajiya Maryam Gambo Sani, said from January, 2012 to December, 2012, the command seized over 1000 kilograms of cannabis sativa and 12.618 kilograms of psychotropic substances.
"This gives a total of 1, 081.037 kilograms of illegal/controlled drugs seized by the command during the year under review. We have arrested 411 persons for various drug related offences of which 45 were convicted to jail terms ranging from six months to 25 years imprisonment", she said.
Maryam also said the command had a total of 62 pending cases in the curt and 265 arrested drug users were counseled and rehabilitated under the care of the command.
She described as alarming the abuse of rubber solution, nail polish remover, lizard dung, petrol, and the inhaling of pit latrine in the state, saying the trend indicated that much is needed to be done to address the situation.

WASHINGTON — It was her stance on abortions that carried Texas Sen. Wendy Davis into the national spotlight, but it wasn't the reason for her trip this week to Washington.
A more progressive Texas, not abortion, was the focus for Davis, who attended two fundraisers and multiple meetings with members of Congress and local groups Thursday.
"People all across Texas are starting to stand and see that basic Texas values are being abused and abandoned by state leaders," she told a group of 400 at one of the fundraisers. They paid between $25 and $250 to crowd into a bar Thursday evening to hear the Fort Worth Democrat speak.
"Those weren't just Democrats assembled to complain about Republicans," she said, referring to the hundreds who flooded the state Capitol last month during her filibuster of an abortion bill. "They were Texans."
During the first of two planned trips to Washington, Davis kept busy with events that included a fundraiser breakfast and a Twitter town hall session. She also had a meeting with Emily's List, a political action committee that works to elect Democratic women who support abortion rights.
Matt Angle, founder of the Lone Star Project, which has worked with Davis since 2007, said she is bringing Texas liberals out of the shadows.
"I've seen Texans show up in the last two to three days I haven't seen in a long time," Angle said. "They're kinda tired of being embarrassed by Rick Perry and Republicans who have really reflected badly on our state."
One of the fundraiser's attendees, Alexandra Ritchie, 33, lived in Austin for seven years before moving to Washington in 2005. More than once, she has found herself defending Texas as others knocked the state and its leaders.
"I constantly have to counter all of these negative stereotypes about Texas," she said. "It's about time we have a change in the system."
Davis will return to Washington on Aug. 5 to speak at a luncheon at the National Press Club.
She is scheduled to discuss "the political climate in Texas and Washington, and her future plans."
Those in attendance at Thursday's events made it clear that they hope she'll stay on the political stage after that.
"The state of Texas needs Wendy," Angle said.

May 29, 2007
BOCA RATON, FL - Chancellor Dugan announced the final three members of the 2007-08 Florida Atlantic University women's basketball signing class on Monday.
Jenna Giller, a 5-9 guard from North Dakota State College of Science, played for head coach Paulette Stein during her two years as a Wildcat. She earned honorable mention NJCAA All-American honors, averaging 14.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.5 steals while blocking 29 shots this past season. For her efforts, she also earned First-Team All-Conference honors and was named conference MVP.
Jana Momoh, a 6-1 post player and Giller's teammate at NDSCS, earned NJCAA honorable mention All-American honors and First-Team All-Conference honors this past year. She averaged 12 points and seven rebounds while blocking 78 shots.
Mercedes Thompson, a 6-1 post player, comes to FAU from Indian River Community College. She earned First-Team All-Conference honors, averaging 14 points, nine rebounds and two steals a game as a sophomore.
"Jana and Mercedes will give us toughness inside and improved team rebounding, and both can make quality passes out of the post," said Dugan. "We're proud to add such high-caliber players to our roster. Coming from junior colleges, each one will provide the program with a level of added maturity. They have joined in our quest to win the Sun Belt."
The trio will join the Owls in the fall as the team prepares for its second season in the Sun Belt.
"I'm looking forward to our second year in the Sun Belt," said Dugan. "We were competitive in all of our games last season and the 2007 recruiting class will have an immediate impact on current and future success."


text: ISLAMABAD - The opposition parties have geared up activities for finalising the name for caretaker prime minister with JUI-F comes up with another two names in response to the half dozen names proposed by the PML-N, JI is still in the consultation process while PTI is yet to be approached for the purpose.Sources aware of the developments on this front informed TheNation that Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly (NA), the main consultee in the process from opposition side, is busy contacting even those parties which have no representation in the Parliament and would complete the exercise in a next few days. Sources further said that he had already contacted the nationalists from Balochistan and Sindh in this connection.However, according to the official spokesman of PTI they were not approached by the PML-N for the purpose while PML-N leaders said that they would soon contact Imran Khan to have his input in this crucial matter.When some of the coalition partners of the government including Awami National Party (ANP) was contacted they simply said that they have nothing to do with the consultation process on the subject by the Leader of Opposition as they would give their input on the matter to Leader of House who after evolving consensus among the coalition partners would approach Leader of Opposition to finalise the name of caretaker PM."It is not appropriate to comment on the name of opposition part (PML-N)...We after consultation would give name to Leader of House/PM," said Awami National Party (ANP) senior legislator Haji Adil, talking to TheNation.When contacted, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Munawar Hassan said JI is deliberating on names for caretaker PM and soon after finalisation give names to PML-N. "We have almost reached to semi-final session and final session is not too far in this regard, " Munawar Hasan said, adding that they would also suggest names beyond the list proposed by PML-N.Another JI senior leader Liaqat Baloch said that his party is deliberating on the names proposed by PML-N. Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) will give names of all provincial assemblies names as well.Commenting on names proposed by PML-N, he was of the view that three names Mehmood Khan Achakzai, Ataullah Mengal and Asma Jhangir are no more in the race of caretaker PM now.While, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) senior leader Abdul Ghafor Haideri said they have proposed two names including Syed Fazal Agha and Mian Ajmal for caretaker PM to PML-N.When asked about PML-N's proposed names, Haideri adopted almost concerns over two proposed by PML-N on this on this matter. "The names of Justice (R) Nasir Aslam Zahid and Justice (R) Shakirullah Jan have almost no more in the list due to different reasons," JUI-F leader added. Another opposition party, PTI, has so far vehemently denied the claim made by Nisar and said no contact had been made with the party regarding the names for the caretaker prime minister.When contacted, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) spokesman Shafqat Mehmood said they were not contacted by PML-N as yet. "We are discussing the matter and finalize name in a week or so," PTI leader said, refusing to comment on the names proposed by PML-N. However, PTI chief Imran Khan has extended reservation of the name of Asima Jhangir proposed by PML-N.While, PML-N spokesman Asim Khan Niazi said both Mehmood Khan Achakzai, Ataullah Mengal have yet not formally refused to his party. "We have proposed names to opposition parties but reached consensus with consultation of opposition parties," he said, adding that opposition parties would also take some time to suggest their names.It is relevant to mention here that the names which PML-N suggested for caretaker prime minister are Asima Jahangir, Justice (R) Ajmal Mian, Mehmood Khan Achakzai, Ataullah Mengal, Justice (R) Nasir Aslam Zahid and Justice (R) Shakirullah Jan. Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has forwarded to opposition parties the names of six candidates for the caretaker prime ministers position.Ch. Nisar told has said that he had contacted the Jamaat-i-Islami's (JI) Syed Munawwar Hasan, Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao of the PPP-Sherpao, Salim Saifullah of the PML (Likeminded), the National Party's (NP) Hasil Khan Bizenjo, and some for consultations over the caretaker government.The opposition leader has reportedly added that the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) had earlier sent the name of two candidates, however they withdrew those. A number of attempts were made to contact leader of other opposition parties but they were not available on phone.

Despite it being empty, residents are still stopping by to see Red Hill Park Lake.
"This is a little depressing to not see it there," said Rebecca Alvarez, of Rancho Cucamonga.
Built in 1987, the man-made lake has been an important backdrop for thousands of special moments.
- Updates: Download the NBCLA News App
"High school dance pictures, family pictures, Christmas pictures," said Shari Sparn. "A lot of my family comes here for the photography."
City leaders decided to drain it in part because of pollution. Much of it, this horrible looking and smelling sludge.
So far workers have also found a lot of strange items in it, including an LAPD badge and two guns, including a .38 caliber special.
"Four dozen cellphones at this point, cameras, batteries, remote controlled cars, skateboards, some bicycles," said Bill Wittkopf, a public works depatrment services director.
And wildlife, including dozens of fish, and more than 100 turtles.
All of them are now being carefully moved to other safe locations. Biologists say they were dumped here over the years by locals.
"In essence the locals kind of loved it to death," said Deana Vitela Hayashi, a biologist. "And they brought too many animals."
But some residents are worried about the lake's future.
"I like the fact that they're cleaning it, but I don't like that they're taking the lake away," said Leslie van Zant.
The lake in its current condition costs the city about $50,000 to $70,000 a year to maintain.
It's unclear what will happen to it.
But the deputy city manager promises there will be water here and it will be efficient and beautiful.
"We got to save money where we can," said Lori Sassoon, a deputy city manager. "We have drought conditions. We need to save water where we can. It'll be a smarter lake."

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. Dorothy Parker, (attributed)
I agree with that part of what Keith said about not pushing and picking old, odd, nonimpressive songs, however, a lot of times, I find Keith's opinions rather odd. Normally he loves songs that I don't care for. And while Scotty's performance recently wasn't all that good, neither was Keith's. I thought he sounded horrible when he performed AND I thought the song was horrible too.
I don't know either. A Whiter Sade of Pale has been done by many singer/songwriters. I know that Willie Nelson has it on several of his albums and sounds great. While not on this topic, Emotion is one of the BeeGee's worst songs and why it was picked is beyond me. Not a good choice. I don't like all the vocal gyrations that the judges seem to love. Kree has a certain tone to her voice that I love and she keeps things simple. I really hope that the judges don't influence her to go for runs and trills that don't suit her choices.
If Nikki stays she's gotta stop with the "my wife" or honey child, clown clothing (I realize she plays a character), or sexual innuendos (she's been better lately) and cussing that gets bleeped OR get her off my TV. Eventhough she tells the truth lately, not before Curtis and her boy toys were sent home though.
I loved Kree's first and second songs and didn't find them boring at all. But that's just me. I have never liked Amber or Candace's uptempo songs. The only one that I liked on uptempo songs was Janelle. But she wasn't my favorite and could have made better choices on her ballads. She had some pitch problems and wasn't vocally as good as the other four. Still, if they were going to have a non elimination week, I wish she had been in it (if for no other reason that it would add more variety to the pack.
I do agree with some comments that various judges and Jimmy have said over the years. I do think that the viewers want to see and hear the contestant perform like it's a sample of what the viewer will see in the future of the artist. Whether it's their fault or not, these old songs that they perform in such a boring manner, don't do much to wet the appetite. It has just the opposite effect.
And, the judges have commented on the contestant having a moment in their peformance. These moments are important, yet we see them perform songs that allow the singer no moments.
I am curious as to how much imput the producers have. I mean did anyone approach them and say, hey, I don't think that song comes close to doing what you want it to do. Recall Kree said she picked her first song because it's a song she always liked. So did no one challenge her? Maybe these girls just don't have the experience to make these decision, despite what we have been led to believe.
For One Hit Wonders, I also wondered if the song choice list was weak and short...so they didn't have much choice.
Bottom line is that the SAVE was not used, and the twist just saves all FOUR(4) . If they are/were going to do that, they should have told us not to bother voting! Why not just announce that it is a double performance week?
I "get" that they are trying to keep it interesting and unexpected but for me it stops at the "trying" part ... very trying!
Please forgive all my quotation marks!

" The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. "

I am just guessing here, but perhaps they are considering WSoP a One Hit Wonder because this may be the only hit Procol Harum had while the organist (Fisher) was part of the group. He is the one with the long lawsuit claiming co-writing credit for this song.
In other words, the composition of the group, Procol Harum as it was when WSoP was a hit ... changed 2-2 1/2 years later when Fisher left the group.. Again ... this is just my humble and wild guess.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturer Streamlines Production With Custom-Made Work-Positioning Tables
Roxane, a subsidiary of the Boehringer Ingelheim Corp., Ridgefield, CT, is a leading manufacturer of pharmaceutical products, including tablets, liquids, and inhalers for hospitals and pharmacies. To comply with strict U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards for minimizing product contamination, the company maintains its packaging areas as clean rooms. Clean rooms have certain requirements which call for special automated equipment.
Roxane employees package and ship millions of product units every year. In the process, they lift approximately 1.5 tons per week. Variations in packaging keep them on their toes. For example, a liquid drug may be packaged in a single-dose heat-sealed plastic cup, a multiple-dose plastic or glass bottle holding from 4 milliliters to 1 liter, or an injection vial. Some bottles are packed with eyedroppers, some with spoons. Although the processes of filling and sealing are automated, the empty, sterilized containers need to be removed from boxes stacked on skids and steadily added to the line. At the other end, full, labeled containers are packaged in new boxes and stacked on skids. One box of full bottles can weigh up to 40 lbs.
Until last fall, all production lines required continual leaning, bending, lifting, and twisting by production-line employees of different ages, heights and genders. Repetitive walking with heavy boxes was also necessary. The only way to get a box to or from the far side of a skid was to carry it there.
The company actually started to solve this problem some time ago. In 1998, it decided to install portable lift tables that met clean-room standards. The company contacted a local distributor, whose representative suggested the Roll-On Level Loader, a standard Southworth model. After visiting Roxane's facility, he realized this would not do, and contacted Southworth directly for guidance.
The issues he discussed involved a variety of special circumstances. Most of the plant's equipment, for example, is stainless steel to allow for easy washdowns without causing rust. Skids are galvanized steel. Roxane originally wanted stainless steel Roll-Ons, but found the cost prohibitive. Southworth recommended using its Steel-It paint, an epoxy coating that contains flakes of stainless steel.
After further consideration, Roxane requested a videotaped demonstration of the Roll-On. Roxane then placed Kimberly Borns in charge of the project. A production engineer with a degree in industrial systems engineering, she had responsibility for everything from specifications to employee training. By June 2000 Borns had committed to ordering seven Roll-On Level Loaders made to specifications to be determined following a design review.
A standard Roll-On consists of a pallet-size, three-sided steel box, open at one end so pallets or skids can be rolled on and off an internal platform with a hand pallet truck. The operator controls the hydraulically powered platform, lowering or raising it to maintain convenient, easy-on-the-back levels for loading and unloading.
For production-line work, the platform is raised at one end as employees remove boxes to keep the remaining boxes at working height. At the other end, the platform starts out raised, and is lowered as employees stack up new boxes. The entire unit can be lifted and transported to another location after locking the platform at the proper height and inserting the forks of a hand pallet truck beneath.
These features appealed to Roxane executives, and were articulated to Southworth's industrial designers by Borns. The result was a custom-made Roll-On with a square, built-in turntable that can be rotated so employees never have to reach too far for the next box. The entire unit is painted with Steel-It.
"The technology existed to give Roxane exactly what it needed," says Jim Snyder, a Southworth regional manager. "To do anything less would have been a compromise. The new machine will undoubtedly have other applications, and that justifies the extra engineering costs."
The maximum lift height of the 2,000-lb.-capacity turntable is 30 in. A 1hp electric motor drives the hydraulic pump that raises the platform when the operator pushes the "Up" button. Lowering, by depressing the "Down" button, is by gravity, with a relief valve to modulate speed.
Still, power is needed to move the platform either way. This is a safety feature, since the photoelectric toe guards need power. Three beams ("electric eyes") cover the sides as well as the front. This is an additional safety feature to protect employees' feet. If the beam is broken, the platform cannot be lowered.
"We were pleased that Southworth stuck with us through all our design modifications," says Borns, noting that other modifications included a longer power cord and a longer, fold-up ramp that provides a gradual slope to facilitate the moving of skids on and off the platform's turntable.
"The employees have really been appreciative of these units," she says. "Not having to bend down and do all that lifting has made a huge difference in their morale. They see that we are taking an interest in their health and safety and providing them with new equipment to make their jobs easier."
Though it's too soon for statistics, Born and the management team at Roxane expect that use of the Roll-Ons will reduce back injuries, in addition to improving productivity.

Why do my Keysight 4156A/B/C IV sweeps saturate around 10mA?
One possibility is that you are using the SMU SENSE lines instead of the SMU FORCE lines. Check your cable connections to the SMUs very carefully. When you are using single triax cable connections it iseasy to reverse the hookup. If the cables are connected to SMU SENSE instead of SMU FORCE, then the measurements will not be reliable. You should always use the SMU FORCE lines exclusively when making single (non-Kelvin) triax cable connections.

Podcast Monetization. I hate those words_ for many reasons. The main one being, that when people look at how to monetize their Podcast or how to use it as a Marketing tool, they immediately look at traditional radio as "the" model. Feh and Bleh. There are so many dramatic differences in the type of media between Podcast and Radio that I'm hoping most people don't fall into the "audio is audio" trap. Podcast Monetization is actually sexy, smart and much-needed to take this media channel as far as it can go.
This morning I came across an article in The New York Times titled, Podcasters Unite To Figure Out A Role For Ads (free subscription required).
Here's some of the goodness:
"Companies have begun distributing media files that stay connected to publishers, giving them a way to track the number of times that advertisements have been heard or viewed, or replace old advertisements.
At the same time, about 15 companies, including Apple and NPR, announced last week the formation of a new industry group, the Association for Downloadable Media, which will help executives improve methods for creating, distributing and tracking advertisements in Podcasts.
'The idea of creating an association to focus on this is great,' said Brian Haven, an analyst with Forrester Research. 'It's going to help companies monetize all this content.'
According to a recent Forrester survey, slightly more than 10 percent of all Internet users have listened to a podcast. Emarketer, another online research firm, said that advertising on podcasts reached just $80 million last year. Mr. Haven said a lot of growth is possible.
'It's just a matter of getting the right content to people at the right time,' he said, 'and helping people overcome some obstacles like, 'What the hell is a podcast?' "
So, Podcasting gets its own industry association. This is good news. Podcasting is also on the verge of unveiling some ad platforms that might entice some big-brand Marketers to take a shot at advertising in this media. This is good news too.
Another interesting development is unfolding on the Podcast of Joseph Jaffe. On episode number eighty three of Across The Sound, Jaffe (good friend of Twist Image), offered up a one-episode sponsorship of Across The Sound in return for an iPhone. Within twenty-four hours, CustomScoop, a "leader in customizable media monitoring technology and services," took advantage of the opportunity. Now, Jaffe is the proud owner of an iPhone and CustomScoop has some fairly cheap advertising/sponsorship (an iPhone runs about six hundred dollars). You can read the press release about the sponsorship here: CustomScoop Fulfills iPhone Wish.
Mack Collier of The Viral Garden Blog adds some color to the conversation with this Blog posting (and the twenty-plus comments): Blog Monetization; How Do We ALL Win? And Jaffe follows it up with some conversation on his recently published, episode number eighty four of Across The Sound, where now he is offering up a four-week sponsorship of ATS in return for a new laptop (Sony Vaio or MacBook Pro) plus a ten percent donation to charity (on top of the cost of the laptop).
So, what have we learned about Podcast Monetization in the past seven days?
Nothing concrete, but when the attention starts rising the way it has this past week, you can rest assured we're heading towards some kind of Podcast advertising tipping point. The end result is going to be many different advertising, marketing and sponsorship models that will empower those who are looking to make money on their Podcast or, at the very least, get Marketers even more interested in this very dynamic and personal new media channel.

Togl is a Tk widget for OpenGL rendering. Togl is based on OGLTK,
originally written by Benjamin Bederson at the University of New Mexico
(who has since moved to the University of Maryland). Togl adds the new
- color-index mode support including color allocation functions
- support for requesting stencil, accumulation, alpha buffers, etc
- multiple OpenGL drawing widgets
- OpenGL extension testing from Tcl
- simple, portable font support
- overlay plane support
Togl allows one to create and manage a special Tk/OpenGL widget with Tcl
and render into it with a C program. That is, a typical Togl program will
have Tcl code for managing the user interface and a C program for
computations and OpenGL rendering.
Togl is copyrighted by Brian Paul (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Benjamin

The futures of both Darcy Tucker and Mats Sundin intertwine with the still undetermined fate of Leafs general manager John Ferguson.
While Ferguson's contract has been extended by a year, that doesn't guarantee he will doing the job next season in Toronto. In fact, it has been assumed that if the Leafs miss the playoffs for a second consecutive season, Ferguson will be fired.
Which brings up a dilemma all its own: How does ownership puts its faith in a general manager that it hasn't completely committed to with important decisions to be made regarding Tucker and Sundin's future?
If Ferguson is the general manager for the future, then he should be making determinations regarding the expiring contracts of Tucker and Sundin. But if he's not, he shouldn't be part of the determining process.
These are the Leafs two best forwards. Sundin, may or may not be heading toward retirement. He may or may not be available come the Feb. 27 trade deadline.
Tucker is tempted by free agency. The Leafs strongest asset is their power play and Tucker and Sundin are integral parts of it. Who makes the call, if any, on their futures?
The grist for the rumour mill has only just begun.
Confirm or deny: The Edmonton Oilers would part with Raffi Torres and a No. 1 draft pick in order to add Tucker to their lineup ... Should Sundin waive his no-trade clause at the trade deadline -- and the only way he would do that would be if he thinks the Leafs won't make the playoffs -- don't be surprised if Anaheim takes a run at the captain. Sundin would have $1.7 million US left on his contract at that time and the Ducks have cap room ... Vernon Wells is a man of his word. He talked frankly about what it would take for him to remain with the Blue Jays and when it was presented, he accepted ... Friday was a big day for Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Ltd: The Leafs won, the Raptors won, and Toronto FC made a trade ... How's this, though, for a Boxing Day present from your friends at MLSEL? You're home with the family over Christmas and want to watch the Leafs. Only one problem: The game against Minnesota on the 26th is only available on Leafs TV.
The simple interpretation of how Jim Balsillie's bid to own the Pittsburgh Penguins fell apart: Rich guy wanted assurance from the NHL he could move the team anywhere he wanted. The league wouldn't give him that. Rich guy took his ball and went home ... Is it because we're Canadian, the nation that invented hang-wringing, that we make more noise over who got cut from Team Canada, junior version, than we do over who actually makes the team ... I give up, who in hell is Joe Pavelski and how is it he has seven goals in his first 11 NHL games? ... Just for once, couldn't Jeremy Roenick shut his yap, turn down some face time, and take some responsibility for his inaction in Phoenix? ... Joel Piniero, who once won 16 games for the Seattle Mariners, now is available. Couldn't he help the Jays as a fourth or fifth starter? ... The Red Sox, originators of the slogan "25 players, 25 cabs" have created a chasm already with the signing of Japanese pitcher, Daisuke Matsuzaka, who along with the millions gets his own physical therapist, massage therapist, interpreter and personal assistant upon joining the team. (All I want for Christmas is to be represented by Scott Boras.)
Somewhere, Rob Babcock is smiling: Joey Graham outplayed Vince Carter on Friday night and the Raptors beat the New Jersey Nets ... It's early but Miami Heat coach Pat Riley thinks Steve Nash should win a third consecutive MVP award in the NBA. Best competition is coming from Kobe Bryant, who singlehandedly is carrying the Lakers ... Tell me again how Nick Saban chose Daunte Culpepper over Drew Brees to play quarterback for the Miami Dolphins ... Question: If the Argos can't convince Casey Printers to come back to the CFL, do they have a Plan B for a starting quarterback? ... It's no accident the San Diego Chargers are Super Bowl contenders: In 2001, the Chargers sent the first pick in the draft to Atlanta, which selected Michael Vick. The Chargers used their picks from the deal to take LaDainian Tomlinson and Brees. Then in 2004, when Eli Manning said he wouldn't play in San Diego, they swapped him for draft picks Philip Rivers, Shawne Merriman and Nate Kaeding. Those moves were made by the late John Butler and A.J. Smith, the same people who decided to bring Doug Flutie back to the NFL.
Quick prediction: Sam Mitchell lasts the season but won't be coaching the Raptors next year ... Fame is indeed fleeing: On Wednesday, Toronto's O.J. Santiago signed with the New England Patriots. They gave him jersey No. 88. On Friday, they cut him ... Can't remember an athlete who was more fluid and more skilled and ultimately less productive than R. Jay Soward, released by the Argos the other day ... Bet you didn't know that Hans Schmidt's real name was Guy Larose, no relation to the hockey player ... Alexei Zhitnik, traded yesterday, was the subject of one of my favourite arena signs. It read: Eat Zhit ... Watched Don Chevrier and Tony Kubek call a Jays game on ESPN Classic Canada the other night. This should be mandatory viewing for Jays' ownership to see how far the mighty have fallen on television ... Time was, you had to pretty much be assaulted to be awarded a penalty shot in the NHL. Now, somebody breathers on you the wrong way and you get one ... And hey, whatever became of Mike Sirotka?

So Elvis Presley was the king of rocknroll? Well, he might have been the biggest star of them all, but his occasional posing with a guitar around his neck didnt fool anyone that his instrumental prowess was pretty slight. Hell, if anyone actually invented the guitar riff in the 50s it was Chuck Berry, the man who played his guitar like a-ringin a bell. And unlike Elvis, Chuck wrote his songs as well. All right, Ill qualify that - its more than possible that his late pianist Lonnie Johnson had a hand in writing the music as well, even if they rarely used more than three chords, and even if his claim for a share of the composing royalties was thrown out of court, but when all is said and done, Chuck was the man.
Rocknroll came from the blues, and it was basically about three chords. So dont expect anything too sophisticated on this collection. Musically limited? Maybe. But of all the innumerable Berry compilations available, this 40-track double CD can hardly be bettered.
In the 60s and 70s his influence on up and coming bands, from the Beatles and Stones onwards, was immense. Practically every self-respecting rock band cut their teeth on several of these songs. Granted, they may not mean so much to anyone under 30, but, er the rest of us will always wield a gentle air guitar to many of these, mentally if not physically.
The collection kicks off with arguably the most famous of the lot, Roll Over Beethoven. Listen to the first few seconds again. Could that guitar lick be anybody else (well, apart from Dave Edmunds, or George Harrison, or any other one of 3,000 guitarists who have worked hard to perfect their own imitation)? Sweet Little Sixteen rearranges the formula a little. Still those same three chords, but still great. Johnny B. Goode ditto. The song which 99% of all self-respecting bands have probably used at least once as an encore.
You want me to list the other 37? No, I didnt think so either. Ill just remind you of a few highlights like No Particular Place To Go, which Johnnie Walker has used for some time as the 6-5 Special theme on his Radio 2 drivetime show; Come On, which the Stones covered as their first single in 1963; Carol, Memphis Tennessee, Promised Land, You Never Can Tell, Tulane, Brown Eyed Handsome Man, Run Rudolph Run, Bye Bye Johnny, Little Queenie, and Maybellene, all of which have been recorded by several other acts. Oh yes, and Too Much Monkey Business, which was more or less the template for Bob Dylans Subterranean Homesick Blues. There you are, Ive listed some of them already. Naughty me.
Just occasionally, very occasionally, does the beat change. Merry Christmas Baby is a slow mournful blues, and after associating him with the aforementioned anthems so long, its a surprise to hear him sing this way.
And theres bound to be a clunker somewhere. By 1972 Chuck was regarded as a has-been, then back he came with the single My Ding-a-Ling, which surprisingly topped the charts in the UK and the US, the only time he ever did so. Sadly, it was far and away the worst record he ever made. A naughty singalong ditty recorded live with an audience eagerly joined in, it gained some street cred when certain moral guardians, insisting it was about, called for it to be banned. Very hip but as a record its immensely irritating after youve heard it twice (or even once). Its ironic that his greatest success was his artistic nadir, and I'm tempted to knock one star off for this one. But it's only one track among many, so just press the Skip button, right?
Varied it isnt. You could say the same about one of the several CDs of the complete recorded output of legendary bluesman Robert Johnson, or many other similar acts of the 30s to 50s. But Chuck was the pioneer, and the songs that made him a pioneer are all here. Nuff said.
Amazon are selling it new at £6.97, with secondhand copies on marketplace for less as usual.
When I was tiny my hero was my grandfather, Billy, a diminutive Welshman with more than a spattering of black and Arabic blood. "I'm a product of Swansea port, fach," he used to tell me. Billy's twin passions were music and vegetable growing and his hero was that whippet-lean, guitar-toting Chuck Berry. And funnily, in summer, skin darkened after days out in his allotment, Billy looked rather like him with that thin, smiling face and those eyes that twinkled irresistibly. I sure did love Billy and I sure did love the parties that Billy attended because his love of life, of music, of dancing, of good friends and a good time always infected everyone. Billy's anthem was Johnny B. Goode and, in honour of him, that's the particular song I'd like to tell you about. DeepdowninLouisianacrossfromNewOrleans Waybackupinthewoodsamongtheevergreens In the first few seconds of this song voice and guitar come together, imitating each other and introducing perhaps the best, and certainly the most famous, guitar riff in history. Chuck Berry couldn't have found a better or more exciting way to pull you into his story of Johnny B. Goode, a poor country [black] boy with his guitar, singing the blues and dreaming of a better future for himself. That guitar riff (modernised by Brian Wilson in the Beach Boys Fun Fun Fun) is like a series of machine gun bullets, forcing the song, the singer and his guitar deep inside you from the first moment you hear it. Chuck Berry wasn't a fool: of course he could have sung "black" and not "country" but by choosing the latter he made Johnny B. Goode a character who represented not only black people in a segregated America but also the poor white gospellers who had thrown up Elvis Presley as their icon. Johnny B. Goode was an anthem and told of a person who appealed to many. Yet despite the political landscape only too well-known to Berry, this song is a wake up
call and a hymn to the power and joy not only of dreaming of a better world but to the notion of carpe diem, seize the day. Johnny B. Goode is a classic song for all these reasons: for the riff that provided the basis of work from such people as the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Bob Seger, the Rolling Stones; for its comment on a time and place that for many people could have been better; for its refusal to submit and for its rallying cry to enjoy, to be free; but above all because it's an irresistible rock and roll song that includes you, pulls you to your feet and makes you want to dance. So that's the story of Johnny B. Goode. For me, inside that story is also Billy's story. Music is one of the most emotive things there is and often its effect on a person is ineffable, unable to be described. Johnny B. Goode brings Billy back to me whenever I hear it and that's why I love it. Billy loved it because he loved passion in music and because the story was partly his own. Just as the Johnny Chuck Berry sang of was a poor country boy, so was Billy, just as Johnny suffered discrimination, so did Billy when he moved to London from Wales seeking work during the thirties. Like Chuck Berry too, Billy was never a man to be downcast though and his endless enthusiasm for life echoes the forceful, boundless optimism we hear in Johnny B. Goode. Billy was never a rich man, and he never owned an electric guitar much as he'd have loved one. I do, though, and one day I'm going to learn to play that Johnny B. Goode riff behind my head, just like Chuck Berry did. And when I do, I'll think of Billy. I don't listen to, or even particularly like, straightforward rock and roll music. It's just not the music of my generation. Yet, because of Billy, I own this album, listen to it fairly often and always enjoy it. Mostly, it's because it provides me with a sense of continuity and some attachment still to Billy. But listening to it, I can't
deny its quality. Chuck Berry is a great performer: alive; energetic; joyous; polemic; sardonic; witty. And he was one of the best and most original guitar players ever. He made number after number all his own. They're all here on this album. And I guess I should mention more than just the one track. There is Back In The USA which could be about feeling homesick, or could be a rather bitter rant from a man fresh out of prison on a false charge (Berry was jailed on Mann Act offences). There is Roll Over Beethoven - with its unbelievably fast guitar and its upstart arrogance in challenging the classical greats. Remembering those Mann Act charges there is also Sweet Little Sixteen. This song, according to Berry himself, is about a teenage autograph hunter he saw once at a concert, but its other implications probably didn't stand him in good stead at that trial. It's a rocking song featuring, for once, drums and piano over the artiste's guitar. Oh, y'know. I guess you know them all. These songs have become part of collective consciousness, haven't they? We all know them, whether we like them or not. There's Maybelline, the Berry number with country roots, but which twists around the country "little woman" to the girlfriend with the more powerful car, typically Berry in its wit. There's another favourite of mine, Brown Eyed Handsome Man (in true Berry tradition, for Eyed read Skinned, of course) which has the same juddering, brittle guitar line and torpedo-like vocal delivery of Johnny B Goode. And there are many more. Cast your eyes to the top for the tracklisting, I'm not about to bore you all with it here. I may not be the world's greatest rock and roll fan. This music may not be anywhere near my favourite sort of music. But I sure do like Chuck Berry.
Well maybe I'm over doing it a little with the title, but for me Chuck Berry is, or at least his music IS Rock 'N Roll; that is, if you wanted to give someone an idea of what Rock 'N Roll is about, then look no further than Chuck Berry and this album. I should add that this album is called 'The Best Of Chuck Berry', and that there are a lot of Chuck Berry compilations like this about, only with differing tracks, so don't be surprised if the one you have, or might get is different. Now you may not have heard of Chuck Berry (I'd be surprised, though) but you will have heard his music, I mean, if your a fan of The Beatles, then you've heard Chuck's music, if you like Buddy Holly or The Rolling Stones or The Manic Street Preachers, then you've heard Chuck's music (lets face it, if you like music, then you've heard his music), if you seen films such as Back To The Future, Young Einstein, Pulp Fiction then you've heard Chuck's music, because the thing is, even though the recordings themselves maybe dated, the music is timeless, and the songs on this album are great examples of timeless music. It was a love of The Beatles that made me, somewhat of a fan, of Chuck's, though I have to admit I only have this collection (something I'll have to rectify), and the reason why I like the Beatles is because.........well maybe because my dads a fan and I remember the music playing when I was young(er), but the real fact of the matter is that, the music is great, I love good music, especially the more up beat, feel good stuff, anything that makes you/me want to get up and dance, or puts a smile on my face, and makes me feel that little bit better I love, and that pretty much sums up Rock 'n Roll. So I have amounted a number of 'Best of......' collections over the years, such as Jerry Lee-Lewis, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Billy Haley, Little Richard, and Carl Perkins (the man be
hind 'Blue Suede Shoes'), and although Little Richard may have created Rock 'n Roll, and Elivs may have dressed it up well and they've all had great hit songs, in my opinion, Chuck's the one who really made it. ~~So Who Is Chuck Berry?~~ Charles Edward Anderson Berry was born on the 18th October 1926 in San Jose, California, America, he learnt to play the guitar and was nearly 30 when he released his first single, and that was in 1955, previously, at the age of 18, he'd spent some time in prison, for armed robbery, later in 1951, he recorded some of his songs on a home tape recorder and went on to join two other musicians and played the clubs. He met Leonard Chess, due to a meeting with Muddy Waters, and Leonard, after hearing a song on Chuck's demo tape called 'Ida Mae', was so impressed that he got Chuck to re-write it, and, after changing it the title to 'Maybelline', it became Chuck's first single. He released a number of singles over the next couple of years, all of which did well in the charts, he had/has a reputation for his now famous 'duckwalk', and also appeared in a few films. However, despite his success, he was sent to prison again, for 20 months, in 1961, on the charge of 'Transporting an underage girl across state lines for immoral purposes', coming out in '63 was like he'd never been away, he continued to write and achieve hit songs, aided by bands such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones (their first single was Chuck's 'Come On') recording covers of his songs. As things go the music scene changed as the sixties becomes the seventies, and Chuck had his greatest hit in 1972, with a live version of 'My Ding-A-Ling'. More recently he's been trouble again after a camera was found recording images in the ladies toilet in his restaurant, his defence lay in that he wanted to know why
they used so much toilet paper!. He also successfully sued John Lennon after John admitted that Chuck?s 'You Can't Catch Me' influenced, or was rather the basis for John?s Beatle?s track 'Come Together', the result was John's 'Rock 'N Roll' album, which included the song 'You Can?t Catch Me' and also Chuck's 'Sweet Little Sixteen'. ~~The Album~~ I bought it on tape for the very reasonable price of £3.99, it has 20 songs, 10-a-side, and they are, No Particular Place To Go School Day (Ring, Ring Goes The Bell) Sweet Little Sixteen Let It Rock Memphis Tennessee Nadine (Is It You) You Never Can Tell Promised Land Reelin' and Rocking' My Ding-A-Ling Maybelline Roll Over Beethoven Johnny B. Goode Carol Almost Grown Back In The USA Little Queenie Brown Eyed Handsome Man Sweet Rock And Roller Rock and Roll Music The inlay card gives you plenty of information about Chuck and the hits. ~~The Music~~ Is exceptional, although the music is often very similar (much like the music of Oasis and Status Quo, for instance), its really good, I could dance to this music all night, which is more than I can say for a lot of the music these days. The term rock and roll, comes from the slang expression for sex, and listening, you can really see why. As I've said I love rock and roll, for me its the greatest, and if you can listen to this music without wanting move to the music, then frankly you have no soul. The recording themselves aren't that great, a sign of the times perhaps, and although I've heard great versions by other people, the originals are always the nice to have. As I write this I'm listing to the album and am finding that I'm spending most of the time clicking my fingers and clapping my hands and such to the music, its soo good.
As well as musically, the songs are also lyrically good, Reelin and 'Rockin 'I looked at my watch and to my surprise, I was dancing with a woman who was twice my size' Memphis Tennessee 'Last time that I saw Marie she was waving me goodbye, with hurry home teardrops on her cheek, that tricked from her eye....' Rock And Roll Music 'Let me hear some more of that rock 'n roll music, Any old way you choose it, Its got a back beat you can blues it, Any old way you use it, Its gotta be rock roll music, If you wanna dance with me.' ~~A Bit About The Songs~~ 'Johnny B. Goode' was used in Back To The Future, (Marti played it at the dance) 'You Never Can Tell' was used in Pulp Fiction, (Vincent and Mia won the dance contest to it) 'Rock and Roll Music' was used in Young Einstein (the young Einstein played it at the end of the film), its also been covered by many bands from The Beatles to The Manic Street Preachers 'Roll Over Beethoven' was used by George Harrison as the last song in his consorts 'Brown Eyed Handsome Man', is thought by most, to be Buddy Holly's, as it became a posthumous hit for him, even Paul McCartney only realised that it wasn't Buddy's, when he recorded it on his last album of Rock 'n Roll covers. Mostly the songs deal with love, growing up, and the love of rock and roll, with a piano in addition to the guitars and drums, the music sounds really lively, all the songs are written by Chuck which is something I like in artists. So what more do you want?, any band playing Chuck's songs live, couldn't go wrong, if you don?t have a Chuck Berry CD/tape or such in your collection, then I suggest you make room. The Solid Grey

The end is catchy as all hell but the rest of it is either average or terrible.
Video is LOLBAD. But holy shit Agnete from Animal Alpha... I love that band! Check out their videos, it's brilliant. That's a shame they disbanded last year.
Song is pretty decent, not their best but not their worst.
But video is comedy gold. Actually, all their videos are comedy gold, I can't watch them without laughing.
cradle of borgir
ya mean cradle of burgers? mmm, burgers...
y not bucket
i swear there are so many bad titles as of late
I thought that the name abrahadabra was gey until I read that it means As I speak, I create. which is kinda sick. Song is sick too.
With those costumes, they should change thier name to Disco Borgir.
Disco Borgir
Has a nice ring to it.
BTW, nice pic you have there, grog
Yeah when I was watching the video i saw that face and was like LOLOLOLOL THERES MY AVATAH.
He is in Dimmu?^
Sick title now

HAHAHA. Oh geez.
Shagrath is such a pimp, yo.
Hahahahaha I like Dimmu and everything, but they look ridiculous.
Updated my avatar accordingly.
DarkNoctus just made a new meme
i'm churning these out like a factory
Great video, especially the milk filled bathtub.
keep em coming, DarkNoctus. At least until a mod deletes them.
whos fuckin cowboy bob over here
@darknoctus: OH GOD PLEASE someone makes a gif of this bit! the look on his face is gold.
The caption fits perfectly by the way.
Was talking bout the "i see what you did there" obviously.
Also pause at 0:51 lol
"So what do you need for the next videoclip?"
"A hangar, a fog machine, a bathtub, a lot of milk and fake blood, some flour and red spices, organs,
hot chicks, doves, a high-speed camera and viking costumes."
the pimps of black metal
I had to contribute.
I didn't really see anything wrong with the video tbh
pretty good song tbh, i liked it.
but that stupid bitch will never replace Vortex
This is a trailer for anew Disney adaptation. Snow Shagrath and the 5 White Dwarfs
too much time on my hands i swear
Noctus is officially my hero. Keep up the good work!
where can I get one of those stylish tentacle helmets? Nothing says grim and frostbitten like a squid on your head
Crown yourself the king of tenticle rape.
i always thought Shagrath was a strange one
I don't get it is this 101 Dalmations.
Milk Metal.
Honestly, the song is the best thing they've done since Enthrone Darkness, which really isn't saying much. Still, video is so bad, mall-goth theatrics and essentially the same formula as their last 5 attempts to make one.
It started off well, but it just slipped into sounding like everything else they've made. The female vocalist is far from what would fit in this music, though she does get better as the song moves along.
All in all, if this is a representation of what will be on the new album, it's nothing new.
Gaga must have given them her wardrobe artist for this one
chick is kinda hawt
I actually really like the chicks vocals. They really help disperse the monotony of average shagrath grows. I also think I like her vox more than vortex's because she has more range, especially with the weird ass witch lady vox in the beginning. Altough I dont like vortex too much because every video i have seen of him live is shit
even when he hit himself in the forehead with the head of his bass until he bled and then headbanged the blood everywhere?
Hm. Although this is reminiscent of Evanescence
Song wasnt to shabby though, especially the outro but yeah this was hilarious that chick scares me.
With these pimp-tastic costumes its running for best and most ridiculous video with Behemoths Tasty priest sex and flys
Im talking about his singing skills live. Hes all over the place with his cleans. That is pretty silly though.
yeah he;s shit live.
Funny video though. I just added a few pictures of them looking ridiculous to their Facebook page, and noticed someone added "Fuck bitches, get money" already there. Lawl.
"I don't get it is this 101 Dalmations."
Glad to see im not the only one that thought of Cruella when i saw the new girl
nothing like a bald bassist with a mustache!
what are they spending their money on?! the costumes or drugs?
....all i can think about when i watch it is milk
white is teh new BLACK
this is the new wave of glam metal
more like glamm metal, amrite?
'Twas I!
haha nice Light. I added the long one width wise with their stupid faces :>
oh there she is

Have done more testing this weekend and fixed some important bugs. It transpired that there was still a "glitch" issue with the direction of one of the encoders reversing seemingly at random, but I've managed to work around that. Also the motion control and joystick servers are now talking together as they should.
I need to write a new utility program which will allow me to visualise the occupancy grids after doing an initial joystick guided training run. This should allow me to check that things look as I expect them to.
I've also ordered one of the Minoru 3D webcams. Apparently these are UVC compliant and will work on Linux. If I can get a pair of images out of the device this would make an excellent replacement for the existing stereo cameras, whilst also solving my V4L1 issues. However, even if the Minoru does look like a usable stereo camera I'll need to assess image quality and field of view compared to the existing cameras which I'm using.
Wheel odometry is now calibrated, and repeatability looks good over short distances, such that the rate of increase in pose uncertainty should be unmanageably small.

Damon Allen began the season wanting to play every game, while Spergon Wynn hoped to at least play more than last year, which amounted to not one single regular-season snap.
Now the two quarterbacks find themselves in uniquely different situations. Allen is sidelined for four to six weeks -- notwithstanding his ability to heal quickly -- after breaking the middle finger of his throwing hand early in the Argos' 27-17 season-opening victory against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday.
Wynn has become the Argos' temporary starter -- and possibly the heir apparent to the 42-year-old Allen. In fact, if there is such a thing as something good resulting from something bad, this is one such example.
In fact, if you go back one game, Allen's mysterious injury early in the final pre-season game -- whatever caused him to be sidelined never was fully disclosed -- allowed Wynn to take some valuable reps at game speed. The lessons he learned from that experience became useful tools when Allen suffered his latest injury.
Wynn is into his fourth season in the Canadian Football League and his third team, following two seasons with the B.C. Lions and one with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, in which he didn't register one snap because of a knee injury and the Bombers coaching staff's indifference toward him. But the Argos saw something interesting about Wynn -- a seventh-round draft choice of the Cleveland Browns in 2000 --and acquired him in the off-season by trading defensive back Mike Crumb and a second-round pick to Winnipeg. Wynn's total CFL ledger showed 67 completions in 96 regular-season attempts. Wynn likely will exceed those numbers by the time Allen is ready to return.
When apprised after the Hamilton victory that teams now will be able to draw up a game plan specifically for him, Wynn replied: "Yeah, but I don't have that much film. All I can do is just go out there and execute our game plan and I think we'll be fine."
Against Hamilton, Wynn threw an interception among his 28 attempts, 18 of which landed in the right hands, but said he'll learn from that and won't do it again in the following game. That comes Friday, coincidentally, against the Bombers in Winnipeg. It should make for an interesting storyline.
"That's not irony, that's just the way life is," he said. "It's nothing special going on. It's not like I want to go out and do this or that. We're just trying to go out there and get a (win). We're going to execute our stuff and it's not like, 'Oh, it's Winnipeg. We've got to do something different.' "
While Wynn was talking, Allen was lamenting the circumstances that have shelved him. He landed on his hand and his middle finger gave way. For whatever reason, he has been injured each year since he joined the Argos in 2003. A broken tibia sidelined him in the eighth game of the 2004 season when the Argos had a 5-2 record and were hoping to topple the division-leading Montreal Alouettes. They lost the game and lost him, though he made an amazing recovery and missed only seven games. He helped the Argos clinch second place with a victory in his first start back and, collectively, he and the team put it all together to win the Grey Cup.
That still will be his goal when he returns to play. He also has a chance to break Warren Moon's career record of 70,552 passing yards. He needs only 1,231.
"A bad year for a quarterback is 1,200 yards," he said. "Records are meant to be broken and they'll be broken in due time, but my whole premise is about playing. It ain't about records. It's about playing the game. That's probably what I'm most disappointed about."
So while one quarterback ponders lost playing time, another one thinks about how little he played last year and how all that has changed because of something as simple as a broken finger.
