Miranda Improves Production Monitoring WorkflowIntegrates Kaleido multi-image display processors with production switchers (August 30, 2004)
At IBC2004 (Hall 8, stand 348), Miranda Technologies will demonstrate how its Kaleido multi-image display processors can be used with production switchers to achieve significant improvements in workflow.
An integration of Kaleido multi-image display processors and the Ross Synergy production switcher presents switcher configuration and event timing information on the monitoring display, so that the operator does not have to keep looking down at the panel to check its setup. Operators can change the layout of a monitoring display directly from the switcher to suit different productions or operators, and tally data from the switcher also helps to simplify production monitoring.
"A highly integrated production monitoring environment can bring significant improvements in workflow, with many parallels to the improvements Miranda has introduced over recent years in the master control environment," said Louis Caron, product manager at Miranda Technologies.
"Miranda's line of compact Kaleido multi-image display processors can bring a wide range of other benefits to production environments. For instance, in mobile trucks, the combination of multi-image display processors and LCD or plasma displays consumes less space and power than conventional CRT monitors, and together they provide much greater viewing flexibility," added Caron.
These improvements in production monitoring have been stimulated by recent advances in display technology that allow multi-image display processors to meet the exacting quality standards of production work.
Miranda's family of multi-image display processors includes the advanced Kaleido-K2 32-input processor, the highly affordable Kaleido-Alto 10-input processor, and the Tango quad-split. The top-of-the-range Kaleido-K2 processor features an ultra-robust chassis and multi-format operation with HD-SDI, SDI, Composite, Y/C, RGB progressive, and streaming video. The video can be displayed with embedded, AES, and analog audio, as well as multiple clocks, source IDs and overlays of subtitling and closed captioning. A dual-head output option allows two displays to be used with a processor, with the signals monitored across both displays for improved robustness and economical multi-display operation.
Miranda's Kaleido-Alto processor features the same high-quality image display technology as the Kaleido-K2 in a more compact 1-RU chassis. The processor can display SDI and analog video signals, along with embedded, AES and analog audio, plus multiple clocks and source IDs.

In this wacky family comedy, the Collins patriarch has died, leaving behind a video will and an assorted bunch of nutcases, which makes strait-laced college student Kate Collins think she was born into the wrong family. Her father is a former child actor now making pornos. Her aunt Lucy is finally going to marry her long-time companion, Judy, which titillates brother Skip, the father of annoying twins who like the way their aunt Kate is developing. The obnoxious Alice Collins annoys everyone with her insistence on pushing everyones button, resulting in a hysterical fight at the dinner table with Lucy. And Grandma Collins hangs out in the background, hiding her own secrets and doing a bit of master manipulation herself. Meanwhile, Kate has been given the awesome task of delivering her grandfathers eulogy; as she talks to her family to find out more about him, she learns more than she ever wanted to know, digging up secrets and coming to understand her relatives in ways she never thought possible.

Keratoacanthoma – Pictures, Symptoms, Causes, Treatment
What is Keratoacanthoma?
Keratoacanthoma or KA is a skin growth that is reasonably common and is swiftly growing. It typically appears as a dome-like lump on skin which is sun-exposed on light-skinned elderly as well as middle-aged individuals. It is frequently found at sites of prior trauma or injury. Many researchers believe that keratoacanthomas is the less severe type of "squamous cell carcinoma". Most keratoacanthoma cause only nominal injury to the skin but some do act more antagonistically and can spread to lymphatic nodes. It is not associated with internal malignancy except in instances which are very rare and where multiple keratoacanthomas are linked with a disease process known as Muir-Torre syndrome.
Keratoacanthoma Symptoms
The more likely positions for keratoacanthoma consist of:
- Backs of hands
- Face in the center
- Ears
- Forearms
- Especially in women, lower legs
- Scalp
A keratoacanthoma becomes visible and develops quickly over the course of 2 to 6 weeks. Beginning as a pimple-like, small lesion, a keratoacanthomas normally grows into a dome-shaped, skin-colored bump with a depression in the center that is packed with keratin (which is the main protein in skin, nails as well as hair). Keratoacanthomas normally vary in size from 1 to 2.5 cm. They normally shrink in 6 months and that pushes out the plug in the center, leaving behind a depressed scar.
In some rare cases, numerous keratoacanthomas can increase as part of a larger collection of symptoms.
The majority of keratoacanthomas cause no pain, although there are several which are very itchy. Depending on the site of concern keratoacanthoma can impede the normal purpose of the area which is affected.
Keratoacanthoma Causes
With keratoacanthomas, past exposure to the sun seems to be the major contributing factor. They seem to arise from a single hair follicle since they are only seen on hair-bearing skin and not on the palms. Various chemicals can also cause KAs.
Some sort of minor injury seems to be needed to trigger a keratoacanthomas to start growing but this is either not remembered by the individual or not apparent. The cells begin multiplying in the hair follicle and the mass grows into a keratoacanthomas.
There are some keratoacanthomas which appear to be linked to an infection with human papilloma virus that causes warts.
Left untreated, a true keratoacanthoma will continue to grow for several months, reach a maximum size and then begin to self-destruct over the next several months. Unfortunately a keratoacanthoma often looks like a true skin cancer, a squamous cell carcinoma or rarely a basal cell carcinoma; therefore it should be seen by the primary care physician.
Keratoacanthoma Treatment
If your primary care physician believes that the lesion is a keratoacanthoma, he/she will initially want to begin with the accurate diagnosis by completing a biopsy. This course of action involves:
- Numbing the skin with anesthetic which is injectable
- Sampling a tiny section of skin using a bendable razor blade, scalpel or a "punch biopsy". When using a "punch biopsy", a stitch or suture or 2 may be required and it will be needed to be taken out in 1 to 2 weeks later.
- Have a dermatopathologist examine the sample of skin under a microscope.
When the diagnosis of keratoacanthomas is established, the treatment options normally include:
- Freezing with nitrogen in liquid form which is known as cryosurgery, in which this cold liquid nitrogen is sprayed on the keratoacanthoma. This process freezes and destroys the lesion.
- Excision where the doctor uses a knife-like instrument to cut out the keratoacanthoma and then use stitches to bring the edges of the wound together.
- Electrodesiccation and curettage also known as "scrape and burn". After numbing the lesion, the physician utilizes a sharp instrument to "scrape" the skin cancer cells away, trailed by an electric needle to "burn" the lesion tissue. The electrodesiccation helps to eradicate the cancer cells as well as also impede any bleeding at the site.
- Mohs micrographic surgical procedure where the physician takes tiny shavings of skin from the cancer site until it is totally removed. This method is especially useful for keratoacanthoma situated on the ears, the nose, the hands as well as the lips.
- Radiation management, for those patients who could have difficulty with a surgical process because of any health issues.
Rarely, keratoacanthoma can be treated with medicine injected directly into the skin lesion which is known as intralesional chemotherapy. Also in those patients with more than 1 keratoacanthoma, the doctor might suggest taking a pill of isotretinoin in order to reduce there number and size.
Finally, it is important to know that treatment of keratoacanthomas is not finished once the skin cancer has been removed. There will be numerous follow up appointments with a dermatologist or with a physician trained to examine the skin as it is vital to make sure that the keratoacanthoma has not returned as well as making certain that any new skin cancer has not developed anywhere else on the body. Additionally, good sun protection habits need to be developed so as to prevent further damage from UV light.

Sigh...even Indian men are starting to feel this way too:
Why Indian women don't marry Indian men...and more!
Look at how this Indian self-hating slut talks trash about 'Brown and Black people' and Indian men (sounds as bad as East Asian women):
Why Brown Girls like White Guys...
Indian women puts video of herself kissing a White men--just to piss off Indian people:
Lots of angry comments on this one....Looks like Westernized Indian women are turning into East Asian American girls, too.
This is how 'real' Indian men deal with their women (when they get out-of-line)--and something East Asian men need to do more of:
Girl slaps Indian man on bus
Westernized Asian and Indian men are too emasculated to do this to their skankified, and Westernized, Asian female counterparts...
If they were to interview me:
"I've gotten to a point of accepting this as a reality. It used to solicit emotion from me but I'm done. This is why I choose to be happier abroad. We go abroad, we vote with our feet."
"So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it."
Like to read?Third World Hero
Like to see?3WorldHero -- Did he really just do that?
The worse part I guess in all this was thinking it was me. When I just moved here (northeast), I noted how much AW/WM there are so I commented on it to my Asian American female buddy one fine spring afternoon.
she says,
"you know.. it's probably in your head. You choose to see this and so you see it everywhere. "
I countered,
"but can you not see that walking for 10 minutes in either direction you are guaranteed to see at least one AF/WM couple? Why are you denying this does not exist when it is self-evident."
she goes,
"you make it your reality. don't be an angry Asian man"
So I embarked on a holy quest of self-improvement and read tons of PUA material. I scored some. But at what cost?
After I traveled and tasted how it was in Asia coming from America, I soon realized that dating in the USA was an uphill battle and not worth pursuing. Now that I verified that the US environment is stacked against me, I will be opting out.
So yeah.. so what happened to my AW friend? Well, what do you expect? She just married a balding white dude.

While skyping with my mom yesterday, she asked me, "Bryan, have you been able to go shopping?" Her worried, furrowed brow told me that I haven't shared with anyone what the food procurment situation is here. There are grocery stores in Buj, and despite the political/economic crisis, their shelves are stocked with plenty of delicious fare for the discerning mzungu.
My first introduction to Bujumbura grocery shopping was my first full day in town and some co-workers took me to Au Bon Prix (At the Good Price). Au Bon Prix is a store mostly for foreigners, with foreign products at foreign prices.
Cake mix, soy sauce, Pringles - they have things that one would assume you wouldn't be able to find in Burundi.
They also have wine and beer, although it's on the pricey side for this Californian.
Fruits and vegetables are great in Buj, and Au Bon Prix has a good selection of fruits and vegetables, although many prefer to go around the corner to a store that is exclusively fruits and vegetables, Les Quatre Saisons.
Where does a carnivore find meat in Bujumbura? The grocery stores have small selections, but the best bets are an Italian-owned butcher called Italbu and a Greek-owned butcher called Boucherie Nouvelle. I've made bolognese sauce, taco meat, beef fajitas and wonton filling with the delicious meats here.
Rounding out our options, there is Mutoyi, which some Americans don't like because everything is behind the counter and you have to ask for it (like in the olden days), but which has the most delicious fresh juices and yogurt that I've had. Finally, there is a diplomatic duty-free store with a great wine selection, an imitation Carrefour which has great glassware and frozen things, and Cafe Gourmand, which has baked goods and bread that even French people like.

Watch the full remarks now:
Here are some highlights:
"In Dr. King's words, we need to feel the 'fierce urgency of now.' Because people are dying. And the constant excuses for inaction no longer do, no longer suffice. That's why we're here today. Not to debate the last mass shooting, but to do something to try to prevent the next one."
"How did we get here? How did we get to the place where people think requiring a comprehensive background check means taking away people's guns? Each time this comes up, we are fed the excuse that commonsense reforms like background checks might not have stopped the last massacre, or the one before that, or the one before that, so why bother trying. I reject that thinking."
"So let me outline what we're going to be doing. Number one, anybody in the business of selling firearms must get a license and conduct background checks, or be subject to criminal prosecutions … We're also expanding background checks to cover violent criminals who try to buy some of the most dangerous firearms by hiding behind trusts and corporations and various cutouts … And these steps will actually lead to a smoother process for law-abiding gun owners, a smoother process for responsible gun dealers, a stronger process for protecting the public from dangerous people."
"All of us should be able to work together to find a balance that declares the rest of our rights are also important — Second Amendment rights are important, but there are other rights that we care about as well. And we have to be able to balance them. Because our right to worship freely and safely — that right was denied to Christians in Charleston, South Carolina. And that was denied Jews in Kansas City. And that was denied Muslims in Chapel Hill, and Sikhs in Oak Creek. They had rights, too.
Our right to peaceful assembly — that right was robbed from moviegoers in Aurora and Lafayette. Our unalienable right to life, and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness — those rights were stripped from college students in Blacksburg and Santa Barbara, and from high schoolers at Columbine, and from first-graders in Newtown. First-graders. And from every family who never imagined that their loved one would be taken from our lives by a bullet from a gun."

Democracy for Polarized Committees: The Tale of Blotto's Lieutenants
Alessandra Casella, Jean Francois Laslier, Antonin Macé
NBER Working Paper No. 22231
In polarized committees, majority voting disenfranchises the minority. Allowing voters to spend freely a fixed budget of votes over multiple issues restores some minority power. However, it also creates a complex strategic scenario: a hide-and-seek game between majority and minority voters that corresponds to a decentralized version of the Colonel Blotto game. We offer theoretical results and bring the game to the laboratory. The minority wins as frequently as theory predicts, despite subjects deviating from equilibrium strategies. Because subjects understand the logic of the game — minority voters must concentrate votes unpredictably — the exact choices are of secondary importance, a result that vouches for the robustness of the voting rule to strategic mistakes.

Gingerbread Computer!
Subject: Cases and Cooling | December 23, 2005 - 03:56 PM | Ryan Shrout
I saw this one over at HardOCP this morning and thought I would share it with you all as well. How would like to build your very own gingerbread computer!
The left photo shows the different components of the cooling unit. The heatsinks have already been glued to the bottom plate and the fan is made in advance. The fan consists of a round "Bassett" candy, with the green fins cut into slim pieces from a green candy. The right photo shows the cooling unit after it's been assembled and glued onto the bottom gingerbread plate.

Pots and pans – who knew there were so many options. I certainly didn't, until I was in my late 20's. But, I've researched quite a bit about cookware in the past few years, and excited to share my experience with you in this post.
Over the past 6-7 years, I'm slowly replacing my cheap kitchen items that I picked up as early as college with sturdier, healthier choices.
I honestly was pretty lucky when I got my first apartment, because that year my mom scored an awesome deal on a set of sturdy cookware from a department store, which she wrapped up as a gift for me that Christmas.
I used that set of cookware enthusiastically for several years. But as they approached their 7th year of nearly daily usage, I started to read about how the Teflon coating could be more harmful than helpful. I also read that aluminum can leach hormone disrupting chemicals and toxins into our foods as well.
Reading about the danger of using non-stick (Teflon coated) cookware – cookware I thought of as traditional – I took a while to decide whether the risk was worth taking action over. Teflon is a popular, cost-effective manmade chemical that is used by companies to make their cookware non-stick. It chips easily, and is found to release carcinogenic fumes when overheated. (source) Each Teflon coated pan I've ever purchased says right on the package not to heat while empty and to avoid overheating. Dupont, it's manufacturer, phased out production of Teflon by 2015.
I find it unfortunate that we're exposed to so many chemicals that are used to make products cheaper and "better" without any proof whether or not the chemical is safe or not. Have you seen the documentary called The Human Experiment? I suggest it to EVERYBODY. It sums up everything I've been saying for years into a easily understood movie. I watched it for free on Netflix.
I eventually took action, asking my mother if she'd trade me the set I had for a set of stainless steel pans she had but disliked and used once or twice. She was fine with it. And instead of keeping my Teflon coated pans, she passed them on to someone on a strict budget that needed new pans.
Do I suggest you throw out and replace your Teflon pans today? Well, sure, if you have that sort of disposable income. But if you're like me, and have trouble actually spending money (or trouble coming up with money to spend!), I do suggest that you slowly consider replacing your cookware with safer options. If the trade & barter method doesn't work for you, try to replace what you have in the order of what you use most often. Buy only what you need. Donate, recycle, or repurpose your old cookware.
So, what pots and pans are known to be safer? Cast Iron, Enamel Coated Cast Iron, Stoneware (which can also be enameled), Ceramic, Stainless Steel, Glass and Corningware. Each has its own set of pros and cons. I have found that I like best keeping several different types on hand.
- Cast Iron. These can be found at bargain prices at garage sales & estate sales. I actually found a 12″ Lodge pre-seasoned cast iron skillet at a garage sale for $2. They will last foreeeevvveeerrrrr. I have a Griswold brand skillet that was my grandmother's. She probably acquired it in the 1950s.The awesome thing about cast iron is once it gets warm, it stays warm for a long time, and it distributes heat more evenly than other types of pans. You can put the pan right into the oven from the stovetop. It's great for cooking meat or frying.
Cast iron cookware does transfer the iron into food, but this is considered a good thing by the US FDA.
I also have and use a cast iron grill/griddle. I use it at least once weekly for breakfasts. I don't have the Lodge brand one that I linked to, but Lodge products are affordable and high quality (in my experience).
The negative thing about cast iron is that it's heavy and it must always be hand washed. However, sometimes a good hot rinse in the sink is all it takes to get it clean. You need to avoid abrasive soaps and excessive scrubbing. You'll also need to avoid cooking tomatoes in it.
- Enameled cast iron. I do not have personal experience with enameled cookware yet, but I have learned that good quality enameled cast iron is pricey but worth it. Cheaper products may flake or scratch too easily. Another concern would be that lead or cadmium might be used in the making, glazing, or decorating of the cookware. The substances are known to be highly toxic. If a pan says "not for food use," you really need to adhere to that warning.
Lodge and Le Creuset are two brands known for high quality enameled cast iron products. If you do go with enameled cookware, remember that, in this case, high quality is better than a bargain.They clean easily and cook evenly.
- Stoneware. These are for baking more than stovetop cooking. I picked up some like new Pampered Chef stonewear at – guess what – garage sales for a couple dollars a piece. There is a similar product to my favorite piece here on Amazon. It says it's a pie baker/pizza dish, but I use mine for rolls, cinnamon rolls, breads, frozen chicken strips, and so much more. I much prefer this to aluminum baking sheets.I've heard that it's tricky to clean stoneware, but I've found mine to be dishwasher safe. You're not suggested to use soap, though. A couple of stoneware baking sheets is definitely on my wishlist.
- Ceramic. I think that GreenPan is considered to be ceramic cookware. Please correct me if I'm wrong. A high-quality ceramic pan is nontoxic and it's also dishwasher safe. I have one 8″ ceramic pan and one 12″ ceramic pan that I love to use when I'm in a hurry. I have nothing bad to say about these skillets, still prefer to cook in stainless steel or cast iron when possible.
- Stainless steel. The first thing I noticed after switching to stainless steel is that food sticks. However, I quickly learned that when cooking meat, the food is "magically" released and un-sticks when it's ready to flip over. So it comes with a slight learning curve.
This is my preferred type of cookware. It is dishwasher safe, usable at high temperatures, lightweight, shiny and pretty, and scratch/chip-proof so you can use metal utensils with no worries.I have found that good food tastes even BETTER when cooked in stainless steel. It's an inert material that will not react with food or alter flavors.
Stainless steel is my personal favorite pan to use for about everything except for frying eggs (I use a ceramic "GreenPan" for that) or frying meat (I prefer cast iron for that).
- Glass. Like stainless steel, glass won't absorb odors or flavors, nor will it react to the foods you prepare in it. You have to be careful to buy decent quality glass cookware, as foreign manufactured glass pans may have lead in it. It's not as pricey as other cookware, either. I have this $16 set of Pyrex baking dishes and I love them!You can also purchase glass cookware for on the stove.
One of my favorite childhood memories is of when my grandmother used to fry us grandkids french fries in a glass pan. From what I gather, glass pots and pans are best used for water-based cooking, though.
Pyrex also is a great brand of food prepware & storage. I eliminated most plastics from my kitchen ages ago. We use glass food storage containers by Anchor Hocking for storing our leftovers.
- Corningware. I only own one piece of Corningware, and honestly have only used in the microwave. Once again – a garage sale bargain, 50 cents. They have an affordable 12-piece gift set on Amazon, though. It is a coated stoneware. The surface is nonporous and will not absorb food odor. Dishwasher safe, oven safe, freezer safe – this is a great classic product and I'd love to own a few more pieces.
I would love to hear what your favorite types of cookware are. Feel free to let me know in the comments!

Town Contact : Steven Venuti, Town Treasurer 978-540-2450
The general Laws of the Commonwealth provide for three Commissioners to administer those funds that have been bequeathed or acquired by the Town for special purposes and which use primarily the annual income, as derived from the investment of such funds. Whereas the Treasurer has the full responsibility for all the funds of the Town, the Commissioners participate as advisors to the Treasurer for the investment of these funds in order that there is a steady income for the purposes intended. It is also the policy of the present Commissioners, that the invested funds should increase in value, as consistently as possible, as conditions allow. The funds therefore are pooled, or combined into one major fund, participating in the congregate investment in proportion to the basis of their individual value.
Fund balances increased as the stock market rose again in 2016. The total market value of the Trust Funds ended calendar year 2016 at a record high of $5,120,241 generating $173,213 in income. Total distributions from the funds in CY 2016 were $198,655 based on income generated in the previous calendar year. The funds currently have over $2.8 million in available expendable funds. The Commissioners have also authorized the disbursement of $137,033 during 2017 from the 2016 earnings. It is the policy of the Commissioners however to expend only the portion of the funds generated by interest and dividends. Capital gains are allowed to accumulate within the funds enabling additional income in future years.
The entities that will participate in the distribution of this money include:
The detailed accounting and distribution data for these funds appear every year in the Annual Town Report. The Commissioners are elected for a term of three years.

Today I thought I'd share another find. These Fantastic Plastic egg cups. I love the bright colours and they make my egg taste even better! 😉 Against my will I actually have an egg cup collection at this point. Ever since I was a kid, I got an egg cup for Easter. And when me and the Boyfriend got together, he got one too. So now we have a big collection of the most bizarre egg cups, that keeps getting bigger every year. To sum it up, I hardly need more egg cups, but I just couldn't resist these!
(And I can't believe how many times I just wrote the words 'egg cups')

When I Come Around by Green Day Songfacts
A track from Green Day's first major label album, this is a very personal song lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong wrote about being away from his girlfriend, Adrienne Nesser, and the frustrations they both felt when he was on the road. Billie Joe met Adrienne in 1990 when Green Day performed in Minnesota, where she lived. He was just 18, and found it difficult to maintain a long distance relationship, especially with his touring schedule. In this song, he affirms his devotion for her, assuring her that when he does get to see her (when he "comes around") he will make it up to her.
Billie Joe and Adrienne got married in July 1994, a few months after
was released and right in the midst of the band's rapid ascent to stardom (the band was touring at the time). The marriage endured, and couple had two children together.
MTV aired two different videos for this song. A concept video for the song was directed by Mark Kohr, and MTV also showed a live version from Green Day's infamous Woodstock '94 performance (lots of mud was in the air). They used this video to promote the MTV Woodstock '94 retrospective video tape.
Suggestion credit
George - Islip Terrace, NY
Jason White, who sometimes played as a second guitarist for Green Day, is in this video. He's the guy kissing the girl.
When performing this song at Woodstock '94, a fan threw a clump of mud onstage and Billie Joe stuck it in his mouth. This caused the fans to keep throwing mud and started the infamous mud fight. A security guard (in a rush to get fans off of the stage) accidentally slammed bassist Mike Dirnt into an amplifier, causing him injuries to his arm and three of his teeth.
This song was not released as a single, which was a strategic move by Green Day's label (Reprise) to goose sales of the album. Airplay pushed the song to #6 in America.
The Woodstock '94 version is included on the festival's live album,

By Staind? Haha, that's kind of a hard mistake to make, Spencer, I guess if you were just a kid it makes sense, though. I used think "Unsung" by Helmet was Pennywise ('Seriously, man?' Yeah I did!).
I also think it's an easy mistake to think Green Day sang "Closing Time", as that song has a similar if not Identical chord progression to this song.
I also used to think that "Glycerine" by Bush had the same chord progression until I learned both songs on the guitar. (Glycerine uses different chords but probably the same melodic progression, This song is tuned a half step down while Glycerine is in standard)
Zero - The Abyss, Nj
When I was a kid I thought this was by Staind now I realize it's from Green Day.
Spencer - Eugene, Or
My favorite Green Day song hands down. It has such simplicity but so catchy! I figured this song is about a young man wanted to live a little and have fun but really loves this girl and he will return when he matures and is ready..and he's just saying to her not to worry about it...it'll happen :)
Maddy - Boston, Ma
This is so dang catchy! "WHEN I COME AROUND!!!"
Megan - Stevenson, Al
Sometimes I listen to this when I'm feeling crummy and then I don't feel all too bad anymore afterward. It's strangely uplifting, in a way.
A ballad you can mosh to?? Hahahahahaha :D
Phoebe - Belchertown, Ma
this song is about how a girl really needs a guy but he just comes around when he feels like it. its about a girl who needs this guy and he doesnt come to her but he will "when he comes around".
Dustin - New York, Ny
first off the song is:
F#, C#, D#, B (verse)
and G# and B (chorus)
you dont have to tune down. play it standard if ur lazy like me.
solo is
F# C# F# C# G# C# G# C# F# C# F# G# F# F# F# F# G# F# F# F# F# G# F# F# F# D# single notes played around the second and fourth frets of the 1st and 2nd strings (e and B)
second of all...
THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SONG!!!!!11 play count's about 300 on my year old iPod :p
so far, this is the only real song my little band and i can play. (we're working on it! we're just kids) but we love it. this is some of BJ's best vocals and Tre's drumming is wickedly awesome and can you believe the bass riffs? crazy!
to say i love this song is an understatement. it is gorgeous.
thanks for your time and please excuse my long rant! peace & love, brothers and sisters! <3
Sara - Austin, Tx

Heather - Springfield, Ma
This is the first song a learned to play on guitar. And it's actually five chords, including the chrous.
And Dookie is nowhere near as good as American Idiot. Sorry. But it's the truth. Dookie is awesome. But American Idiot is way more "awesomer".
Daivd - Aberdeen, Nc
I think that this is one of Green Day's best songs. I agree thT Dookie is definitly their best album. Their old stuff is a lot better than Amercan Idiot.
Jill - Jtown, Pa
5 chords: (all 1/2 step down) g, d, e, c, and a. Boo-ya~
Arlo - Franklin, Ky
this song is about the rat, coming around and getting back with berry.
Grunge=dead - Nowhereville, Ca

Kimberly - Kettering, Oh

Bambi - Indianapolis, In
I've loved this song ever since I was really little, about 2 years old. I used to sing along to it and spin arooound and aroooound. When I Come Around is still my favourite song, although I don't spin around anymore :P
Green Day Rocks <3
Rachel - Windsor, Canada
its actully four chords this song is awsome
Marek - Colling Wood, Canada
I can play this song, It only has 5 chords... but its still awesome. Definately better than anything on American Idiot.
Marvin - Trenton, Nj
i do admit it the old albums were different than american idiot but come on if ya love the band love it all
Maria - Los Angeles, Ca
This song is too slow to mosh to - Try Exodus or Sacred Reich
Luke - Manchester, England
Another good song from Green Day ;-)
Dave - London, England
Dookie is so much better than American Idiot. Classic Green Day.
Matt - Millbrae, Ca
a really good song, i think its one of their best
Cb - Cincinnati, Oh
I heard that this song was almost completely ripped off of a band called Goober Patrol. Any validity to this?
Kieran - D.c., Va
I think it's very good, Kerrang described it once as "A ballad you can mosh to" which sums it up extremely well. I tihnk that song is a good guideline for life, my favourite lyrics from it are:
"You may find out that you're self-doubt means nothing was ever there
You can't go forcing something if it just ain't right"
It is very philsophical and a high point in Green Day's career, possibly one of my favourite Green Day songs.
Mairi - Glasgow, Scotland
i like this song it cant really "connect" to it but it still Rocks!
Madison - Somewhere
i love this song. it really rocks!
Hannah - Peterborough, England

Auz teen dubbed 'Jihadi Jake' killed in Islamic State suicide bombing
AN Australian teenager dubbed "Jihadi Jake" for his involvement with Islamic State (IS) has been killed in an apparent suicide bombing.
An image from a video, apparently released by the group, shows a young man who looks like Jake Bilardi sitting behind the wheel of a white Jeep-type car.
IS propaganda circulating on the internet claimed the 18-year-old was among the latest group of suicide bombers that struck in Iraq's Anbar province on Wednesday.
Bilardi was this week identified as the man in an image published in December, holding an assault rifle in front of an IS flag.
He also left bomb-making materials at his family home in Melbourne before going to Syria, ABC reported.
The images of the Jeep have not been verified, but reports from Iraq have claimed that 10 people have been killed and up to 30 injured in what are thought to have been 21 suicide attacks.
An IS-linked Twitter account lists Bilardi as one of the "martyrs" in the attacks.
"I saw the Taliban as simply a group of proud men seeking to protect their land and their people from an invading force"Jake Bilardi
A blog-post thought to have been written by the teen has been discovered and reveals the intentions behind his radicalisation.
"From Melbourne to Ramadi: My Journey", is claimed to be written by Abu Abdullah al-Australi — Bilardi's pseudonym — from Anbar's capital of Ramadi, on January 13.
He states that "Osama bin Laden" did not radicalise him but was intrigued by the ideology behind Islamic groups such as al-Qaida and the portrayal of "Taliban brutality" by Australian media.
"I saw the Taliban as simply a group of proud men seeking to protect their land and their people from an invading force, while I did not necessarily agree with their ideology, their actions were in my opinion completely justified," he wrote.
He also showed heavy disdain for "celebrities and false reality" being thrust "into the spotlight to distract people from what is really going on in the world".
"On top of this the Western world throws celebrities and false reality into the spotlight to distract the people from what is really going on in the world, hence the widespread political ignorance among Westerners," he wrote.
"This was the turning point in my ideological development as it signalled the beginning of my complete hatred and opposition to the entire system Australia and the majority of the world was based upon.
"It was also the moment I realised that violent global revolution was necessary to eliminate this system of governance and that it I would likely be killed in this struggle."
The post ends with Bilardi reportedly describing his entrance to the IS group and signing himself up for martyrdom.

"But the biggest force driving up milk prices is the same one that has driven up prices for conventional commodities like iron ore and copper: a roaring global economy. Rising incomes, from China and India to Latin America and the Middle East, are lifting millions of people out of poverty and into the middle class.
It turns out that, along with zippy cars and flat-panel TVs, milk is the mark of new money, a significant source of protein that factors into much of any affluent person's diet. Milk goes into infant formulas, chocolates, ice cream and cheese. Most baked goods contain butter, and coffee chains like Starbucks sell more milk than coffee." (thanks D.)

EXCLUSIVE: Chris Kattan Says 'DWTS' is Unfair: 'We Can't Move Like Simone Biles'
After being the first contestant to get eliminated on this season of Dancing With the Stars, Chris Kattan is opening up about why he believes the reality competition series is unfair.
The former Saturday Night Live star sat down with ET's Nischelle Turner on Thursday, and got candid about his brief yet memorable time on the show, dishing on the changes he would like to see in future seasons.
WATCH: Chris Kattan Might Bring His 'Night at the Roxbury' Moves to 'DWTS'
Kattan said there is "an unfairness to the fact" that each year's slate of new contestants come into the competition with wildly different levels of dancing talent.
"Simone Biles and Charo and I are three different people going into the show," Kattan explained. "I'm not as good of a dancer as Charo [and] we have our different moves, but we can't move like Simone Biles."
Kattan says the real problem on the dancing competition show is with the judging because, while everyone comes in with various amounts of experience, they are all judged on the same criteria, which is inherently unbalanced.
According to the comic, there's two ways to fix the discrepancy. Either the stars DWTS casts should have "no dancing experience," or the judges should "acknowledge the fact that this person doesn't have experience and this person does. And give them the benefit of the doubt."
PHOTOS: Complete List: 'Dancing with the Stars' Winners
While Kattan said he was "bummed out" when he was kicked off the show, he said he's "looking forward" to coming back and cheering on his fellow contestants later in the season.
On Monday, DWTS celebrated their fan-favorite "Most Memorable Year" week, where contestants reflected on a time in their past that had the most significant impact on their lives, and performed a routine inspired by that experience.
Kattan might not have gotten a chance to participate in the highly emotional episode, but the actor said he knows exactly what life experience he would have chosen.
"Actually there was a year that was one of the worst times I've ever had in my life," he said, recalling a time, nearly 15 years ago, when he was in the hospital recovering from a spinal fracture at the same time his dad was on his deathbed.
WATCH: 'DWTS': Simone Biles, Mr. T, Nancy Kerrigan and More Bring the Tears During 'Most Memorable Year' Performances
"It was terrible, because I had to leave. I was like, 'How do I leave this hospital to go visit my dad, because I'm his only son,'" he recalled. "It was an awful time."
To compound matters, the actor was also going through a difficult, painful breakup.
"My girlfriend at the time couldn't handle taking care of me," said Kattan, who needed a lot of help after his traumatic injury. "So she was having an affair."
However, Kattan says that dark confluence of circumstances actually gave him some clarity and a bit of emotional strength.

"I remember thinking, 'It can't get any worse than this.' And that made me feel more confident with anything else," he shared. "It just made me feel stronger and [made me want to] do something like go on Dancing with the Stars [despite my] injury."

Ashland, head south on I-5 for about five hours, dates and times vary hugely, visit osfashland.org for complete lineup, runs through October, $37.50 - $60
Somehow, on my recent visit to Ashland, I managed, in a mere five days, to see seven of the 11 plays the Oregon Shakespeare Festival has running, which is great for you because with my advice in hand you can pick and choose, and avoid a similar fate. The Mercury: wading through the overpriced crap so you don't have to.
King Lear, directed by James Edmonson. Edmonson is a crotchety looking old guy who's been a regular at the OSF for about 200 years. He's a marvelous actor, and a lousy director. Stuck in some sort of traditionalist quagmire, his Shakespeare productions typically feature virtually zero action sequences, and have all the pacing and excitement of a turd. With King Lear, Edmonson is working with Shakespeare's greatest play, with two of the OSF's finest actors in the two key roles (Kenneth Albers as Lear; Ray Porter as Kent), yet still concocts a lifeless theatrical experience.
Henry VI, Parts One, Two, and Three, directed by Libby Appel and Scott Kaiser. Another OSF veteran whose prominence has always mystified me is artistic director Libby Appel, a revisionist so obsessed with minimalism and gender-bending, her Shakespeare interpretations are often impenetrable. I thus went into the already convoluted Henry VI plays (split into two separate productions) with some trepidation, only to be happily surprised. Appel, perhaps with the influence of Kaiser, sets aside artistic pretensions to let the great story here tell itself. Written when Shakespeare was very young, Henry VI tells the tale of the wimpy Henry the Sixth's fall from nobility at the hands of Edward of York (Ray Porter again). I won't even begin to explain all the intricate rivalries and familial grudges that occur, but let's say it's like a medieval soap opera, replete with tons of betrayals, fights, and killings.
The Comedy of Errors, directed by Bill Rauch. Rauch excels at injecting sparkling new life into dry old texts. His Hedda Gabbler last year remains my favorite thing I have ever seen at the OSF, and his Errors this year is simply delightful. Set in a modern-day casino, it converts the hapless twins Antipholus of Syracuse and Antipholus of Ephesus into, respectively, a backwater hick and a tough Mafia type. Ray Porter makes yet another appearance, playing both parts, flawlessly switching back and forth between cowboy twang and tough guy talk, and delivering Shakespeare's heady language with remarkable clarity and precision. This is the most fun you'll ever have at a Shakespeare production.
Much Ado About Nothing, directed by Laird Williamson. The romantic comedy that inspired a million crappy films about should-be lovers who spend the whole time feigning hatred when everyone else knows they're perfect for each other. Brent Harris is Benedict and Robin Goodrin Nordli is Beatrice; two witty characters who insult each other relentlessly for two hours before breaking down and making out. Meanwhile there's a bunch of other less interesting Shakespearean chicanery; you know, identity mix-ups and note passing and whatnot. But the real stars here are the leads, and they are wonderful.
The Visit, directed by Kenneth Albers. Friedrich Durrenmatt's most famous play is a great read, and I couldn't wait to see it actually performed by some of the most skillful actors in the world. Weirdly, though, it was just okay. The performances were definitely stellar, and Durrenmatt's story about a rich elderly woman who bribes her entire hometown to kill an old rival is too good to not be gripping--but director Albers, like Edmonson, is another ancient OSF veteran who can do pretty much anything he wants, and he does. He has more stylistic flair than Edmonson, but his pacing is equally turgid. Durrenmatt's writing is quick, clever, and relentlessly dark, and The Visit would have benefited from a touch of youthful exuberance.
Topdog/Underdog, directed by Timothy Bond. Suzan-Lori Parks' tale of two black brothers obsessed with Three-Card Monte and with their shared dark past is hilarious, sad, devastating, and shocking. As the bros, Kevin Kenerly and G. Valmont Thomas have a ball with Parks' text, which features masturbation jokes, Lincoln impersonations, card tricks galore, and even a bit of blues singing. The entire play takes place in one dingy little room, and yet will be the fastest three hours you've ever spent in a theater, should you choose to see it, which you should.

With less than a week away from Opening Day of the 2016 season, it's time to look at who's performing in the preseason.

The first division we'll look at is the AL Central!

It's been some time since I have ventured on a Wednesday's walk; what with Easter busy-ness and visitors and a whole oddment of things life seem to be scurrying by somewhat rapidly - time to breathe in and then - wait for it - breathe out.
Ransacking my mind for an appropriate memory which didn't involve too much coherency - not something I feel i have much of this evening - I settled on one for all you animal/pet lovers that read my blog. Of course, most of you will have scampered over to Charlie's House - already with its own firm fan base ("of course!" murmurs Sir Charles).
Most of you won't have read this blog from it's gentle and somewhat stuttering beginnings of occasional posts, so won't be familiar with the following two characters. But if they had lived - sniff - they would certainly be regular features here - in fact they and Charlie would probably be the main bloggers, with the occasional post from me!
Molly and Dinah were the two lovely guinea pigs we acquired in 2005, I think it must have been. They had a long haired mum and a rough haired dad and took some time to grow into their own fur...they had little coronets on their heads and whenever they washed it looked for all the world like they were 'doing their hair' - especially Molly.
But who needs words? This is what this lovable pair of sisters looked like:
Molly - and Dinah's nose!
looking down
whispering secrets?
Molly's snail impression
she could do a very good disapproving look
All right, some explanation needed...we only have a lawn in our front garden, which is open right onto the road and slopes, so it's not safe to have small animals grazing...so I sowed grass seed in a seed tray thinking the guineas could reach over the side and nibble it...well you can see what happened; they got right on top of it and ate it all in one go! So, back to me handpicking from the front!
The guinea pigs were fascinated by Charlie from day one, and always very excited to see him. very aware of the problems and injuries that can occur from combining rabbits and guinea pigs, in general they were together but with some kind of barrier between them. One day I decided to see how they would do in the run all together. To keep a close eye in the proceedings, I got in too (you are allowed to giggle). Once the guinea pigs were in, they went straight for Charlie in delight and proceeding to give him a thorough sniffing. If you know how guinea pigs sniff, you'll know they do so very intently, rubbing their noses across the thing they are smelling...
Charlie, rather bemused by the attention and the two noses buried in his fur and sniffing vigorously while making interested chattering sounds, sat for a while and then hopped away. The noses followed. He hopped away. And they followed. In the end, out of desperation, he scrambled on to my lap and eyed them from a higher vantage point, while they scurried around doing their little jumps in the air (with bouncing fur).
Forgive me for waffling on about guinea pigs. I do love them! Sadly Molly and Dinah had malocclusion of the back teeth and it wasn't discovered until it was too late. They had them filed down but they were all ready too deteriorated in health and had to be put down....
They were so lovely. I can't really have any more at the moment due to my health, and Charlie is all I can manage pet wise. But I dream of a whole guinea pig building filled with 'weeenk, weeenk, weenk' - ing noises...
To finish, a short video of them as little ones...I kept the sound so you can hear a snatch of that lovely weenk- ing sound at the end.

Cooper called up by Wallabies
Quade Cooper has been named in Australia's 39-man squad for the Tests against Scotland and Wales in June, while James Horwill is absent.
Last Updated: 28/05/12 9:32am
Quade Cooper has been named in Australia's 39-man squad for the Tests against Scotland and Wales in June, while skipper James Horwill is set to miss out.
Fly-half Cooper has only played twice for the Queensland Reds since seriously injuring his knee at last year's World Cup in New Zealand.
Horwill hurt his hamstring in Queensland's 13-12 win over the ACT Brumbies in Canberra on Saturday and despite reporting to the national team ahead of scans due on Monday, he is not listed among the 39.
Melbourne Rebels fly-half Kurtley Beale was named in the squad but suffered a shoulder injury for his side on Saturday that subsequently required surgery and is unlikely to be fit in time. There are a total of 15 uncapped players in the squad.
Cooper was one of the first players to report in Sydney as those selected from the Reds and Waratahs arrived early, with the remaining players to join in midweek before a team meeting on Wednesday.
They will then go back to their respective clubs for Super Rugby action before the final squad to play Scotland on June 5 in Newcastle is picked just 48 hours before the contest.
Wallabies coach Robbie Deans thanked the Australian clubs for their assistance in releasing players, before admitting that such a short turnaround from selection to the game against the Scots was not ideal.
"The co-operation of the franchises has been considerable and we appreciate that," Deans said.
"We've obviously sought to have as little disruption to their campaigns as is possible, but the solution provided by utilising the training day off does at least allow us to get the players started - both with organisational logistics and training background - as we will have to hit the ground running once the final group gathers.
"We can't finalise a side for that match until all of the games are played, and we are in a position to assess all of the players.
"Obviously we have preliminary ideas but the selection template is a living document. It can, and probably will change, as a result of events through the final round of Super Rugby before the international break."
Following the one-off Test against Scotland, Australia will take on Wales three times in June before the Rugby Championship - involving New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina - begins in August.
Squad: Ben Alexander, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Berrick Barnes, Kurtley Beale, Quade Cooper, Dave Dennis, Kane Douglas, Anthony Faingaa, Saia Faingaa, Bernard Foley, Will Genia, Michael Harris, Scott Higginbotham, Michael Hooper, Rob Horne, Digby Ioane, Sekope Kepu, Salesi Ma'afu, Pat McCabe, Ben McCalman, Jesse Mogg, Stephen Moore, Luke Morahan, Cadeyrn Neville, Dan Palmer, Wycliff Palu, Nick Phipps, David Pocock, Tatafu Polota Nau, Hugh Pyle, Benn Robinson, Nathan Sharpe, Dominic Shipperley, Rob Simmons, James Slipper, Sitaleki Timani, Joseph Tomane, Cooper Vuna, Nic White.

Q&A: How do I connect to a Proxy to play online games under a different IP?
September 5, 2011 by admin
Filed under Discussions
Question by Alarif H: How do I connect to a Proxy to play online games under a different IP?
I want to play online games under the IP address of a proxy, I just need to know HOW to connect to it, and if connecting to it via my web browser will change my in-game IP.
Best answer:
Answer by Nipi
It depends on the game, if the game uses the Internet explorer settings, then changing the proxy setting in Internet explorer will work, but if not, then you should use a software that redirects all connections through the proxy.
I use one called iPig, it's great, but not free, though they give you a trial period for every account you make on their site

How's this different from CM7?
- 2.6.35 kernel (boots by default to 768/256-interactive; max=806, min=120)
- smartass & smartass2 governors
- compache/swap
- deodexed & zip-aligned
- tweaks for deodexed rom and sd read-ahead (3072 by default)
- removed rom manager & some default themes/wallpapers
- moved file manager to /data/app
- modified lock screen icons
- flying-in menu animations
- TGF's notification bar (notbar) patch integrated
What doesn't work/untested?
- wifi tethering - activating them produces an error & breaks wife, in which case, a reboot is required
- gps
Is this faster than CM?
can't claim that as i don't see a big jump in quad/linpack scores, though there are improvements & it does feel snappier (I may be biased though). you decide...
full rom here: DOWNLOAD
flash attached:
kernel w/ the last three items above included for flashing unto cm7
just the kernel
- do backup before doing anything
- see alex' comments, post #9
- if you encounter reboots/freeze (not getting this myself though) & wanna revert to your original/stock kernel, simply advance restore boot only
- usual liability disclaimer applies
feedback is/are most welcome! if you have questions on TGF's notbar patch, please post on that thread instead.
- cyanogen/cm team
- alex
- drowningchild (kernel)
- tosha15 (compatible modules)
- Serris (animations)
- ZduneX25 (lockscreen icons)
