Canada's men's relay team wins bronze after Great Britain disqualfies
MOSCOW — Circumstance robbed Canada of a bronze medal one year ago at the London Games. On Sunday, the medal and a measure of vindication came back to the team.
Canada's men's relay team won bronze at the world track and field championships in the 4×100-metre race after Great Britain disqualified.
The victory helped provide some closure for Justyn Warner and Gavin Smellie, who were both on the relay team that lost a bronze medal to disqualification in 2012.
"I'm so ecstatic, especially thinking back to last year and what happened," said Smellie. "To come back and get bronze, I'm just so happy. We competed to the best of our ability and we leave here with a bronze medal.
"This isn't just for us, it's for everybody, we're going to take these medals home and show them to our families, share them with all of Canada."
Warner, from Markham, Ont., Dontae Richards-Kwok of Mississauga, Ont., and Toronto natives Smellie and Aaron Kingsley Brown finished third in 37.92 seconds behind first-place Jamaica (37.36) and the United States (37.66).
Great Britain was disqualified when race footage appeared to show the team complete their second baton exchange well outside the zone. Canada launched an appeal and won to move into third.
"This is huge, Great Britain are a great team, but I'm happy for us," said Warner. "Overwhelmed we did it, we put all the work together. I'm at a loss for words and just so happy. Rules are rules, we dealt with it last year. Canada again … is one of the top teams."
The bronze is Canada's fifth medal at the event, the most successful in the country's history at the world championships.
"We did it, to run what we ran and not be there the first time around was really hard to take," said Richards-Kwok. "We did everything we could. We really wanted to come out and get it done, and we did."
Usain Bolt meanwhile is perfect yet again, and with three gold medals in Moscow, the Jamaican great became the most successful athlete in the 30-year history of the world championships.
The 4×100-metre relay gold erased the memories of the 100 title he missed out on in South Korea two years ago because of a false start. And, in combination with a similar 100-200-4×100 triple from Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Bolt was instrumental in giving Jamaica the first ever sweep in those six sprint events.
Bolt was trailing American Justin Gatlin when he got the baton on the anchor leg, but a botched U.S. handover and his superlative speed were enough to see him, and his country, win.
He gritted his teeth, dipped at the line, and then grinned.
"I wasn't really worried about Justin. I knew if he got the baton in front of me, I could catch him," Bolt said. "So it was just going out there to run as fast as possible."
And when he does, nobody has stopped him when it mattered — in a half decade, and counting.
"It's not just about the talent. It's about rising to the occasion. He understands what that means," Gatlin said.
Bolt had already won the 100 and 200 metres. It was his second such sprint triple at the world championships, matching the two he has won at the Olympics.
With his victory, Bolt moved to the top of the all-time world championships medals table with eight gold and two silver, edging Carl Lewis, who has eight gold, one silver and one bronze.
"It is just great," Bolt said of the comparison. "I'll continue dominating. I'll continue to work hard. For me, my aim is to continue hard into the greatness thing."
And again the Luzhniki Stadium and its 40,000 fans were turned into a Bolt party.
With palpable relief after a week of all-business during his earlier races, Bolt finally let go. His arms across his chest, he kicked his legs as he went down lower and lower to imitate a traditional eastern European dance to the delight of the crowd.
"I'm not even sure which country it's from. It just went along with the music, so I did it," Bolt said.
Twenty minutes earlier, Fraser-Pryce became the first woman in world championship history to sweep the sprint events, anchoring Jamaica to gold in the 4×100 relay.
Unlike Bolt, Fraser-Pryce got the baton with a big lead. With her pink hair extensions swaying in the air behind her, she kept on building on it to cross in a championship record of 41.29 seconds.
Canada's team of Crystal Emmanuel of York, Ont., Shai-Anne Davis of Richmond, B.C., Kimberly Hyacinthe of Lachenaie, Que., and Khamica Bingham of Caledon, Ont., combined to finish sixth.
Lost in the excitement and a string of upsets was that the United States failed to lead the gold medal standings for the first time since the inaugural world championships in Helsinki 30 years ago.
Instead, Russia topped the table with seven gold, edging the United States and Jamaica with six. In the overall standings, the U.S. team dominated with 25, holding a wide lead over the host nation with 17.
With a middle distance double on Sunday, Kenya secured African domination over neighbour and rival Ethiopia.
Asbel Kiprop of Kenya successfully defended his 1,500 title, trailing teammate Nixon Chepseba for most of the race before emerging into the finishing straight with a devastating kick no one could match.
Matthew Centrowitz of the United States took silver in the hectic sprint finish, just ahead of Johan Cronje of South Africa.
And Eunice Sum won her first major title when she held off Olympic champion Mariya Savinova of Russia at the end to win the women's 800.
Russia hoped it would win another gold in the women's javelin, but defending champion Maria Abakumova disappointed with bronze. Instead, Christina Obergfoell of Germany won her first major javelin title at 31, beating Kimberley Mickle of Australia.
The string of upsets continued in the men's triple jump, where Olympic and defending champion Christian Taylor of the United States finished only fourth. Teddy Tamgho of France edged Pedro Pichardo of Cuba for gold.
Tamgho and Pichardo were even at 17.68 metres late in the contest but Tamgho made the difference on his last jump when he leapt 18.04 for his first world title.

The United States Army does have a lot of rules and regulations, but there have never been a whole lot for tattoos and ink on soldiers. According to a report from Reuters on Sept. 25, 2013, that may be changing as a new Army tattoo policy could put a ban on any tattoos that are visible below the elbow and knee and above the neckline.
As of now, the new Army tattoo policy is not in place, but is under consideration according to the armed forces newspaper, "Stars and Stripes."
Existing tattoos could be grandfathered in, so to speak, but there are still some limitations already in force. All soldiers cannot have any tattoos that are considered extremist, racist, or sexist. Soldiers also cannot have brand tattoos or any on their head or face.
Top non commissioned officer, Sergeant Major of the Army Raymond Chandler had a recent visit to Afghanistan, and that was where he first laid out the proposed rules. He said that Secretary John McHugh had already approved the new Army tattoo policy, but not signed off on it yet.
The changes would come to Army Regulation 670-1. This regulation oversees grooming, uniforms, and tattoos for U.S. Army soldiers.
Chandler continued on stating the changes would be part of maintaining a uniform look among all soldiers and sacrifice for the sake of the force.
It is expected that once signed, the changes the regulation could be fully in place in 30 to 60 days. The Army declined to comment at this time, but did issue a statement saying that it was "conducting final review of the forthcoming uniform policy."

(ESPN Classic 10PM ET) Sorry folks but there's absolutely nothing else on. Nothing, I say! So why not hunker down and watch the 6th and final fight between two middleweight boxing legends. Why not hunker down and watch the 6th and final fight between Jake LaMotta and Sugar Ray Robinson. LaMotta once said, "I fought Sugar Ray so often, I almost got diabetes." There's was nothing sweet about this fight. Held on February 14, 1951, Saint Valentine's Day, the fight became known as boxing's version of the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre. You never got me down, Ray! You never got me down! Get your popcorn ready!
Peace out homies! Six Two and Even!

The Russian judicial system isn't generally thought of as a venue for humor, but the laughs emanating lately from the small courtroom on the banks of the Moscow River where former Yukos CEO Mikhail Khodorkovsky is being tried would make any standup comedian envious. They erupt from the gallery, as if on cue, each time the state prosecutor, Valery Lakhtin, opens his mouth. Even if he weren't facing the intimidating task of prosecuting the country's most famous fallen oligarch, the gangly, intellect-challenged bureaucrat representing the Russian state would have a tough time. He appears to lack an understanding of the simplest economic principles -- not to mention legal arguments. Challenging an objection from the defense this week, he countered with the unimpeachable point: "Prosecutors can't lie!"
The past week, however, after 16 interminable months of Khodorkovsky's latest trial, on charges of embezzlement and money laundering, saw some interesting developments. For the first time since the fallen mogul was arrested in 2003, top Russian officials have taken the witness stand. Even more striking is that their testimonies have supported Khodorkovsky's defense. The question on everyone's lips, then, is whether this is a sign that the Kremlin is softening its stance, or simply a new twist to Russia's most infamous show trial.
Khodorkovsky, one of modern Russia's original robber barons and the former head of Yukos, is nearing the end of an eight-year sentence on charges of fraud and tax evasion. Prior to his imprisonment, he was one of the wealthiest men in the world and a persistent thorn in the Kremlin's side, doling out tens of millions of dollars to opposition parties and pro-democracy organizations. In October 2003, however, he finally pushed then-President Vladimir Putin too far and was summarily arrested. Ever since, he has kept up a constant stream of criticism from his jail cell, corresponding with foreign and Russian journalists via smuggled letters. He is due to be released in October 2011 -- just five months before Russia's next presidential election. That might be a bit awkward, so he's now facing a further 22 years in a Siberian prison, accused of ordering the siphoning off of 350 million tons of oil and laundering nearly $25 billion in proceeds from 1998 to 2003.
Khodorkovsky, who maintains a six-person defense team but questions witnesses himself, frequently reminds the court that evading taxes (the first charge) on embezzled oil (the second) is not only illogical but impossible. The judge, like clockwork, strikes every such statement from the record.
On June 21, however, Khodorkovsky finally won a key argument when German Gref, the state-appointed head of Sberbank, Russia's largest bank, and long-serving economy minister during Putin's presidency, took the witness stand. Gref, associated with the "liberal" clan of the Russian elite that also produced current President Dmitry Medvedev, appeared at ease, tan, and calm, as he faced questions from Khodorkovsky.

Kevin Love Hopes to Play 15-20 Games This Year
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Kevin Love walked to halfcourt toward a group of kids from St. Jude's Children's hospital, determined to bring a few smiles to some little faces that were in need of a boost.
Truthfully, the Minnesota Timberwolves power forward needed a pick-me-up as well. And that's just what he got when Avery Evans, a 4-year-old being treated for pediatric cancer, walked up to meet him.

here's a challenge - write food-oriented lyrics for a favorite song...
As an example of what I'm getting at, I'll start with this ode to cheese, sung to the tune of
THE EURYTHMICS "SWEET DREAMS (are made of these)"
Sweet dreams are made of cheese
Who am I to dis on Brie?
Travel the world for Époisses
Everybody's looking for Stilton
Some of them want a Gouda
Some of them want to use Raclette
Some of them want a Jarlsberg
Some of them want a Mimolette
I wanna use you in Amuse-Bouche
I wanna know what goes with you
Mold your rind up (movin' on)
Keep your ripe up (movin' on)
(Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
I wanna use you & abuse you
I wanna know what's inside you
Hold your head up (movin' on)
Keep your head up (movin' on))
Let's see what people can come up with!
Chowhounds to the challenge!
You ain't nothin' but a chow hound
Eatin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a chow hound
Eatin' all the time
Well, you've cooked up a rabbit
And flavoured it with thymeAnd they said you loved a buffet
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah they said you loved a buffet
Well, that was just a lie
For you its gotta be a BARBEQUE
With pulled pork on the side -
I've gotta change my chowish ways, baby
I keep eating and my clothes get tight
I can't go on, baby
Eatin' like a bird so I can feast at night
I need a shoehorn
To squeeze in
To my favorite jeans
I keep on walkin'
and tryin'
To eat more lean
I can't go onnnnnnn
Lord knows I've gotta change.With apologies to Santana, who may even appreciate women who are not stick figures. ;) Keep those hits comin', people!
When it gets a little slow at the neighborhood water hole, we like to substitute the word "lunch" for the word "love" in song titles, ie. " I'm All Out of Lunch" " Lunch is a Many Splendored Thing" "Got a Whole Lotta Lunch" "It's a Lunch Thing" ...We need a life, don't we?
re: calliopethree
I remember waiting for dinner and playing the piano with my friend while at summer camp. We did "Dinner Food" instead of Billy Joel's "Honesty"...
"Dinnnnnnnnnner food
Is such a tasty word
And mostly what I need
From youuuuuuuuu..."Here's another one on your angle: "People all over the world! Join in! Start a lunch train--lunch train!" :)
An ode to Michael Jackson...and my favorite sandwich:
(Sung to the tune of P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing) (2nd verse)
Nothin' can stop me eatin'
Desire to eat you
Gotta eat you baby
Won't you come, it's emergency
Cool my belly yearning
Sandwich, come set me free
Don't you know now is the perfect time
We can dim the lights
So I can take a bite
You are so right
Hit my hunger spot
I'll eat up all that I got..I want to eat you (B.L.T)
big juicy thing
You need some mayo (B.L.T.)
big juicy thing
Smokey bacon there
No sharin's fair
I want to eat you (B.L.T.)
Fatty food thing
Bread needs some toastin' (B.L.T.)
Juicy tomato's
And lettuce thereI want to eat you (B.L.T.)......

"When a man loves a walnut" ("When a man loves a woman")Wish I could do more but I dont ahve those books anymore
My above-posted recipe for Beef Burgundy, set to "Battle Hymn of the Republic", must be balanced by an equivalent treatment using "Dixie", if I am to remain a politically correct dude.
I'm glad that I'm in the land of cotton
Grandma's cookin' ne'er forgotten
Cook away!... Cook away!...
Cook away!... DixieLand.Chorus:
I'm glad that I'm in Dixie,

Hooray! Hooray!
In BBQ Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in BBQ

There was a horse in New Orleans
we raised him like a son
he's been the meat in many a po' boy
And God, I know, I et more than one.My mother was a farmer
she growed us okra and beans
My father was an etouffee man
Down in New OrleansNow the only thing an etouffee man needs
is a beignet and a drink
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's barfing in the sink.Oh mother, tell your children
not to serve a horse 'til he's done.
He made for a great jambalaya
that horse we raised like a son.Well, I got a boudin from hip meat
on my fork, a chunk of shoulder
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
A little wiser and older.There was a horse in New Orleans
we raised him like a son.
He's been the meat in many a po' boy.
And God, I know, I et more than one. -

Whoa, mercy mercy me
Size ain't what it used to be
They shrunk the Chicken of the Sea
I guess that means less mercury?
Whoa, mercy mercy me
Pints ain't what they used to be
They changed 'em all to fourteen ounces
Do they think that we can't countses?

Yeah what about that mayonnaise? (mmm-hmm....)
Well, it always was a quart before

STOP! in the name of food
Before we all are screwed; think it over ...
Hey, Monsanto, we're aware of what you done
And all the legal battles you have won

I'm so sure we can live without you
So next time, before you f*ck with genes
Think how what you're doing means
It's not corn now (no, no...)
Cuz it's part cow (no, no....)
STOP! In the name of food
Before we all are screwed; think it over.... fade...... adam -
here's one for the current situation to the tune of Rocket Man!
I packed some bags again last night
it was almost 9 pm
and I'm gonna be bored again and again
I miss New York so much I miss my life
it's lonely on register 3
it's such a timeless plightAnd I think it's gonna be a long long time
till the economy turns again for me to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home oh no no no
I'm a Publix man
Publix man stacking shelves and pricing all aloneThis ain't the kinda place to work my back
in fact it's dull as hell
and there's no-one like there was at Goldman Sachs
and all these aisles I don't understand
it's just my job 5 days a week
a Publix man, a Publix man -
To the tune of "Life is Like a Mountain Railway"
Life is Like a Trip to McDonald's
Life is like a trip to McDonald's,
With a drive through that's paved;
We must make the run successful,
From the Happy Meal to the McRib;
Watch the fries, the fillets, the burgers;
Never saltier, sometimes stale;
Keep your hands upon the ketchup,
And your eyes upon your shake.Chorus:
Blessed Ronald, Thou wilt guide us,
Till we reach that trans-fat shore,
When the Angels wait to join us
In Thy grease ring for evermore.You will ask for Chicken McNuggets;
You will taste the filet of fish;
See that Ronald is your conductor
On this fastfood train of life;
Always mindful of anal obstruction,
Do your duty, never fail;
Keep your hands upon the buffalo sauce
And your eyes upon your Egg McMuffin.Chorus:
You will often face anal obstructions,
Look for indigestion, burps, and constipation;
Once you're filled, or full, or bloated
They will almost ditch your butter galic croutons;
Put your trust alone in McDonald's,
Never falter, never fail;
Keep your hands upon Newman's Own Ranch Dressing,
And your eyes upon the sausage biscuit.Chorus:
As you roll across the restaurant,
Spanning your britches' swelling tide,
You behold your jiggling thighs
Into which your train of thought will glide;
There you'll meet the Superintendent,
Ronald McDonald, Ronald the clown,
With the hearty, joyous plaudit,
"Big assed Pilgrim, welcome home."Chorus:
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican dish.
Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina;
Music would play to the smell of fried fish.Blacker than night were the strips of fahita,
Wicked and evil with a fried onion smell.
My love was deep for this Mexican sizzler;
I was in love as my waist line can tell.One night a wild young cowboy came in,
Wild as the West Texas wind.
My pleasure was fleeting,
The meal I was eating
My darling fahitas
Were knocked to the floorSo in anger I
Challenged his right said I wanted another
Up went his finger and loudly he swore
I hit him once, in less than a heart beat
He measured his length laid out cold on the floorJust for a moment I stood there in silence,
Then looked around in case he had friends
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there;
Bravery's fine, but caution transcends.Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran,
Out to my bike which I'd chained.
But by that border
There's no law and order
My bike had gone missing
And nothing remained.So quickly I dashed..
Out thru the back streets and roads of El Paso
Out to the motels, the North side of town.Without that Cantina my life became worthless.
Everything's gone in life; nothing remains.
It's been so long since I've tackled a taco
My love is stronger than my fear of pain.I called a taxi, away I did go,
Riding alone in the back.
Watching the meter
We drove back to Rita.
Tonight nothing's worse than this
Need for a snack.And at last here I
Am on that street, a bad part of El Paso;
Should I go in, I must decide.
My fear is strong but I push the door open.
I catch the smell of fahitas insideOff to my right I see five guys in denim;
Off to my left are a half-dozen more.
They pick up the pool cues I daren't let them catch me.
I suddenly find I am hungry no more.Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my ass.
I've been attacked
But my jewels are intact,
Was it a toe or a cue or a glass?But my love for
Fahitas are calling, I rise where I've fallen,
I turn to the bar and I order a meal
I see the white puff of smoke from the frier..
I breathe the aromas, the smell is surreal.From out of nowhere the bouncer has found me,
Tells all those cowboys to let me pass by
Nestled on lettuce with beans and some onions,
One final bite and Fahitas, good-bye.-
re: Paulustrious
And one more from me, Since several of you (espcially Sam) seem to like to do it to old western/ C&W I though I'd do one too. The last lament of the unaplogetic eates of trash food. The tune is "Coal Tatoo" ; please note I'm using the Kingston Trio version (that being the one I know) in case the Dolly Parton one scans a bit different okay here goes
Travelin' down that fast food strip
Listen to my rubber tires sqeal
goodby to Wendy's and Jack in the Box
I need a greasier mealI been a junk eater all of my life,
nuthin' will make me cease
got a gut like a balloon ready bout to burst
sweat as slick as the greaseSomebody said "That's a lot of red marks,
You got on your gut, thighs and chops."
I said "That the markin's left by the fat"
"A little more and my heart stops
But I love the texture,
and I love the taste
I love the feel in mah mouth
And I cant stop this need on the base of my health
no matter how far it goes south."I stood for the transfats and walked in the line
and fought 'gainst the heath board,NYC
I stood for the right for all food to taste good
now who's gonna stand for me?
I lost my shape
an' I lost my tone
just got a big spare wheels
and a dickey heart that about to fall apart
left by the number five meal.Someday when I'm dead and gone
an sent to my eternal rest
I won't have to worry 'bout chest pains or stokes
or what's on my blood sugar test
IU ain't gonna pay my money away
for sprouts,tofu, or brewers yeast
I'm gonna chow down while my soul still around
then go to that Heavenly feast.
A Brisket's Lament
As I lay on the cutting board,
As I lay out on the cutting board one day,
I spied a poor brisket wrapped up in white paper,
Wrapped up in white paper, as cold as the clay."Oh, beat the drumstick slowly and whisk the whisk lowly,
Play the grill march as you carry me along;
Take me to the green Weber, there lay the sauce o'er me,
For I'm a young brisket and I know I've done wrong."I see by your outfit that you are a brisket" --
These words he did say as I boldly stepped by.
"Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story;
I'll be par boiled in a pot and I know I must die."Let sixteen prime steaks come handle my drippings
Let sixteen sirloins come sing me a song.
They'll take me to the crockpot and lay the sauce o'er me,
For I'm a poor brisket and I know I've done wrong."My friends and relations they live in the freezer,
They know not where their boy has gone.
He first grazed in Texas and was owned by a ranchman,
Oh, I'm a young brisket and I know I've done wrong."It was once in the saddle of lamb I used to go dashing,
It was once in the saddle of lamb I used to go gay;
First to the porter house and then to the BBQ house;
Got put in a crockpot and I am dying today."Get six jolly burger patties to carry my coffin;
Get six pretty pork bellies to bear up my pall.
Put bunches of rosemary all over my crock pot,
Put rosemary to deaden the spuds as they fall."Then swing your fork slowly and rattle your spoons lowly,
And give a wild whoop as you carry me along,
And in the crock pot throw me and roll the sauce o'er me,
For I'm a young brisket and I know I've done wrong."Oh, bury beside me my chef's knife and vegetable peeler,
My thermometer on my heel, my ladle by my side,
And over my crockpot put a bottle of brandy,
That the briskets may marinade as they carry me along."Go bring me a cup, a cup of dry rub,
To ready me for the BBQ," the brisket then said;
Before I returned his soul had departed,
And gone to the crockpot -- the brisket was dead.We beat the drumstick slowly and whisked the whisk lowly,
And bitterly wept as we bore him along;
For we all loved our brisket, so brave, young and handsome,
We all loved our brisket, although he'd done wrong.-
re: Sam Fujisaka
oh, "the streets of Laredo" Aka "The Cowboy's Lament" . Actually now that I think about it Paul Shanklin did a foodie based on that too all about Mondavi (the wine). Theres also his "I Can't Help Eating Too Much Fast Food" ("I Can't Help Falling in Love With You) which is hilarious because Shanklin's actually pretty good at faking Elvis (I may not agree with his political and social views, but from a technical point of view with regards to parody, Shanklin is brillant.)
I have another idea but this one I'm gonna need some help with since all I got is a title and song base. How about "Tub of Margarine" ("Yellow Submarine") anyone want to help
and then of couse there's what one should sing everytime ones goes out for Chinese Noodles
"And we'll eat Fun, Fun, Fun 'till our waiter takes the teabags away...."
Oh and a bit I came up with a few year ago (chorus only, alas) called "Ode to Sandwich" (Tune is "Drift Away")
Oh, give me roast beef, boys,and cheese with holes,
I wanna spread sauce on a rustic roll
and munch away"-

She makes all of Chinatown look like a Lazy Susan race now
(you look like an ace now you look like an ace)
A lotta guys try to catch her

And its round bun in your face

'Cause you notice them buns is stuffed
Deep in the greens they're wearing
Secret sauce and I can't stop staring
Oh Big Mac, I wanna get with you
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that bun looks so food porny.
Ooh, Rump-o'-cow-meat
You say you wanna be my treat?
Well, go gurl, go gurl

Let me eat my way through the junk food country that I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself with the deep fat fryer, please,
And listen to the sizzle of the gristle and cheese,
Send me off to Taco Hell, but I ask you please,
Don't fence me in.Just turn me loose, let me waddle my old saddle
Underneath the junkfood aisles.
On my big ass, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains of fries.I want to eat all the crap till I fall over defenseless
And suck down the lard till I lose my senses
And I can't look at greens and I can't stand healthy
Don't fence me in.Oh, give me jam, lots of jam under sugar skies above
Don't fence me in.
Let me waddle through the Wendy's and the Burger Kings I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself with a sack of Twinkies
And listen to the murmur of my overstressed arteries
Send me off to dinner but I ask you please,
Don't fence me inJust turn me loose, let me waddle to the counter
Underneath the greasy pizza pies
On my big ass, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains of fries.
Ba boo ba ba boo.I want to eat at the fridge where the fat commences
And graze like a goon till I lose my senses
And I can't look at veggies and I can't stand fishies
Don't fence me in.
No, don't you fence me in -

re: alkapal
I'm not sure if there is a "see"; Weird Al doesn't do a music video for EVERY song parody he does, though admitttedly the number he does per album seems to increase with each sucessive one (proably becuse, as he has gotten more famous a lot of his fellow humorists in Hollywood do music videos for him, animated ones that require little or no extra effort from him (beyond being the director and doing the orginal recording) so he can do more of them.) Few of the ones I've mentioned have videos attached to them "I love rocky road does" but I think that's the only one, all of the other are audio only
All of these creative lyrics remind me of how I got to Chowhound in the first place...through one of my favorite Calvin Trillin books. If he is still a Chowhound poster, I'm sure he could toss off some great foodie lyrics and if he is still here, I want to thank him for his books.
Starting with the classics, in pulsing marching rhythm: The Battle Hymn of the Republic, (reborn to Beef Burgundy), circa 1862. It helps to really sing it as you read, or at least thump your foot in a "one-two march", as the meter is a bit strained:
The Battle Hymn of Beef Bourguignon:
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the browning of the meat
As I move it with the tongs, and adjust the rapid heat.
The enamel of "The Creuset" is the tool that can't be beat
While_beef_goes_Bour_Guig_non.Glory, glory Hallelujah.
I'll send... the searing heat right throoough 'ya
As your lovely two-inch hunks
Become nicely browned beef chunks
Maillard keeps marching on.There was bacon in the butter that provides your frying base
Now carrots onions mushrooms and a bit of 'mater paste
Then some flour for more browning and some stir with gentle haste
You're ready for the wine.Glory, Glory Hallelujah
As the wine... sends the steam right throoough 'ya
and your contents do deglaze
in the aromatic haze
of rich red Burgundy.After braising in the oven, you're a beautiful brown beast
I should chill you overnight, so that you can be degreased
but I made enough for doubles so tonight too we can feast
And open up... more wine.-------
(Lest we build a coddling revisionist image of Civil war soldiers and their Le Creuset cookware, gently huddled at their campfires):
Glory, Glory Hallelujah
don't let... this simple story fool 'ya
We marched on beans and hardtack
Drank dank coffee, seared some fatback
Our farts... pro... pelled us on.(End with flourish, crescendo... As flourish with end, diminu-Wind-o.)
re: alkapal
When you find you roast beef
dried out beyond belief
dehydrated; just not moist.
When you find your turkey
is as hard a jerkey
and looks like a roofing joist.
When you country breakfast
has become a wreck-fest
tough as over-boiled goat.
Learn you this discovery
you will find recovery

pour it on and chow on down

When your cran is done, but you want to eat on; romaine.

The Smell of Hot Dogs
Hello hot dog, my old friend,
Ive come to snack on you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Leaving the smell of hot dogs.In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my nose detected the smell of a hot dog stand
On Mott and Grand
That wafted the smell of... hot dogs.And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People eating without speaking,
People eating without listening,
People eating dogs that no one ever shared,
No one dared
Ask for a bite of hot dog...Fools said I, you do not know
Hot dog stands like cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the streets of New York...And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon hot dog stand they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, "the ingredients of this hot dog
are not for you to know
for upchuck you'd throw
Disturbing the smell of hot dogs..."Etc...
Ok, cmvan, clearly you have a bit more talent than me! ;)
The first two that came to mind were the Ramones "You're a loudmouth baby" and Tom Waits "I don't wanna grow up". Unfortunately, all the ideas I had were a bit gross so maybe these two could be an inspiration to a budding chowhound lyricist who can do more than rhyme "grow up" with "throw up". But I know everyone's out there working on this one. Good one.

Your eatin' heart will growl at you.When beer comes down
like falling rain
You'll toss around
and want pountine.
You'll walk the floor
with nothin' to chew
your eatin' heart will growl at youYour eatin' heart,
Will pine some day,
And crave poptarts,
You threw away,
The time will come,
When you'll be blue,
Your eatin' heart, will growl at youWhen beer comes down,
Like gravy on taters
You call and order it.
'cause nothing else matters
You'll walk the floor,
Till delivered to you,
Your eatin' heart, will growl at you
Nice going, cmvan. How I love a truly cheesy 80s song! ;) Annie Lennox would be proud. I'll be back after the wheels start turning (this is more challenging than a 5-line limerick!), so don't give up on us!
re: kattyeyes
I keep coming back to "Don't you want my gravy" a la Human League's "Don't You Want Me Baby" but that's as far as I've gotten.
I was working late and you said you would pick up a jar
That much is true
But even though you knew mine would have much better taste
...Don't, don't you eat that.
You know the way you feel when you eat that processed food so
Don't, don't you eat that.Needs work, I know.
re: kattyeyes
"don't you want my gravy?" --- love it, sista-kat!!!!
i'll be you could come up with something for howard jones' "things can only get better." whoa whoa whoa ... woh-oh oh oh...... <MUST be sung at the very TOP of one's lungs, while driving in the summer with the windows down, speeding down the highway!>>

Why doesn't our art forum have one of these?
Well, anyway, here is where you can post all your art-related tutorials, or make requests. Any kind of tutorial works. (General Drawing, Spriting, Graphics, How to draw "___")
This is my entire process for comic-book style drawing, from pencils to color in tutorial form, for anyone who wants to know:
Requires Adobe Photoshop for the coloring
- February 8, 2007 07:37 PM (GMT)
Thank you. I've been trying to figure out how to CG color in Photoshop for the longest time but nothing was really working, often due to using procedures I don't understand in the least--but I already know how to do all of that, and just never thought to put it all together like so :3
Might wanna work on your poses a bit though. Cyke really seems to have sprained his ankle badly there, and his left arm bends in impossible ways... >_>
- February 8, 2007 07:52 PM (GMT)
Most people I know replace the burn and dodge with soft edged brushing, but I think you can get a better effect this way.
I agree about the arm, it looks like it's sticking out in front of him. :P

why the gradients? ;-;
- February 9, 2007 05:24 PM (GMT)
I love you.
No, seriously.
I've never tried to do art like that before because I didn't know how. (Then again, I suck at lineart, so I probably still shouldn't try. :P)
- February 9, 2007 09:12 PM (GMT)
If you never try, you never get better. =P

Since I hate drawing realistic people anyway, I tried adopting that shading style to a chibi.
And yes, I know the face is insanely creepy. It's just a placeholder. >_>
- February 9, 2007 10:20 PM (GMT)
I shade hair a lot differently. I'll have to a tut' on that.
Anyway, the body is mostly good, but you have to use the dodge tool on lower exposure, like 15. Blend it in slowly with smaller brushes.
Sorry about the crappy quality.
- February 9, 2007 10:23 PM (GMT)
I did do it on about 15. Maybe I had too heavy of a gradient...
- February 10, 2007 12:43 AM (GMT)
Alright, here's my hair tutorial:

- February 10, 2007 05:45 AM (GMT)
ooh looks nice. im beginning to think gradients arent bad all the time...?
- February 10, 2007 08:23 PM (GMT)
Since my last problem was largely the lineart, I thought I'd try CGing one of RP's sketches.
Here's what I've got so far...

You have to know how to use them, really.

Tileset tutorial for your convenience! This will ensure the most versatile tileset possible (whether you are making a square or other shaped tileset).
I originally made this to help with my hex tileset, but it works well with all shapes that tessellate regularly without a rotation. Note this is why the triangle in the tutorial needs to have a flip side to fill in all gaps.
- October 17, 2007 12:06 AM (GMT)
Um...This is great :D ...except I don't got photoshop :( ...I got G.I.M.P. Will it work for that? If not can I get a tutorial plz?
- May 18, 2008 07:57 PM (GMT)
Well... since it's pinned, I guess It's ok to bump....
Anyways, I'm gonna need alot of help, as you will see by my by my first question:
How do I draw a strait line? :oops: (without just having perfect mouse movement)
And how do I make transparencies?
This refers to Photoshop CS2, by the way. Thanks :D
- May 18, 2008 08:44 PM (GMT)
If you don't have the line tool icon among your tools, press Shift+U a few times until it appears.
Transparency can be done in a lot of ways, most commonly by editing the opacity in the layers window.

Ramp Up: Content from Across the ABC
10 Dec 2013 5:43:20pm
I must say I got a chuckle out of this.
On the serious side though, I think the problem comes from our need to give everything labels, put everyone into categories and demand from everyone an "all or nothing" attitude.
I have been called a lefty and a hippie. I also hold human rights near my heart, including disabled rights. I don't see a dividing line between these. But clearly many people do with environmentalists constantly being accused of not caring about human costs.
Why does everyone expect an environmentalist to live in a tent, walk everywhere and eat only organic? We too have to balance our morals with trying to live in a society and culture that doesn't make this easy. People can only do so much, and have to answer to their own conscience. So when the author speculates this divide between disabled people and environmentalists, I think that is being extremely short-sighted. Many of us struggle with trying to reconcile how our governments can move towards a more sustainable society while advocating the rights of all our citizens. I know I do.

I've been reading an article on battle-starship design, and they bring up the interesting point that lasers can impart kinetic force. So when a laser hits a sandcaster cloud, wouldn't you now be faced with dozens of tiny particles moving relativistic speeds towards your ship?

Which is the same site where I got the sandcaster argument, so unless there's some internal inconsistency, I can see what they're saying. Basically that all the particles, to dampen the laser's effects, have to interact with it in a way which would in turn have the laser acting on them like a bunch of tiny solar sails. I think.
As a different defense against lasers, what about a layer of armor that functions as an optical metamaterial? |

Metamaterials sux.
Seriously though metamaterials can only work over a very narrow band of frequencies which is built into the structure. In space you can hit by a laser of almost any frequency. With a free electron laser you can tune your laser weapons whenever you want. --------------------

Well, velocity=acceleration * time. Acceleration = force / mass. Force (in our case) = power / C. Momentum = Mass * Velocity. So the change in momentum of the particle is (power*time)/ C C is O(10^8) time is O(1) unless you plan on shooting the thing for like 10 seconds Power ~ K*S*T ...... where K is some constant (somewhere between 0 and 1, not inclusive) .................S is the cross sectional area of the particle (really small, 10^-6 m^2 for cubic sand grains 1mm to a side) .................T is the total output of your big space laser What you then get is: delta P = O(10^-6) * T * O(1) * O(10^-8) Which can be further reduced to delta P = T / O(10^-14) plus or minus an order of magnitude or two. Long story short, for any appreciable change in momentum, you need a LOT of laser output for a little momentum change. --------------------

And even if you did make the particles fly at C they are still just individual particles. Sort of like throwing a hand full of sand into someone's face.
Even if you did manage to throw 1kg of sand at him, the impact would be quite different than that of the equivalent mass of rock (as in a solid object). And the same should go for this. The energy is there, but the mass of the particles is just to small to do anything. Furthermore, and I might be wrong here. But this is for a FT setting with FTL or at least near light travel right? If so your ship is going to have to be armored enough to resist high speed particle impacts anyway since it will be impacting cosmic dust, micro meteors and stuff all the time anyway. (especially if the ship has armor to protect it from enemy fire) I can't really see it doing any real damage as a weapon. -------------------- Official Representative of the Windir Design Bureau of the Purpelian Government.
The three glorious steps of our design process: Step 1 - The Great Leader draws a picture of what he wants and gives it to the designers with the words: "Make a good X out of this." Step 2 - The designers than go and do their best to make something that works and still looks mostly like what the Great Leader drew. Step 3 - Once finished with that, throw it away and make something that actually works. Always remember: The law is not law because it is just. The law is just because it is the law.

Note though that the utility of a "sandcaster" against beam weapons may be overrated, as it can be easily burnt through. Once the sand is evaporated - and a weapon laser should be designed to evaporate tons of armor, not just kilograms of sand - there's nothing standing in between. The only way a defense like that can work is if you are delivering it with immense flow rate, velocity and precision. And even then it's just a stand-in for active ablative armor.
Now, against a missile flying at c-fraction velocities, it may be different. Although, since at these velocities steering is impossible, a c-fraction missile would be nothing more than an alternate form of a mass driver. -------------------- |

Quotidian chat
Betsy Ann Bobolink (not pictured) bellowed: "Attention K-Mart shoppers! Under the flashing blue light in Aisle Five we're having a total closeout of items from America's least-popular art form. Yes, that's right! OPERA has been marked down, down, down to rock-bottom below-our-cost prices."
Just five items left. Five! Count 'em, five. That's the number of legs on a dog who has one more leg than most dogs have. Five!
Looky here, looky here. Are you tired of all the boom-tee boom-tee in Verdi's Otello? Well, try the teedly-whoonk in Rossini's version. She may have started out thinking the moor the marryer, but she sure ended up down-in-the-mouth. It starts at 11:00 on LRT Klasika, and stars John Osborn and Anna Caterina Antonucci.
Not your style? Well, so feel your way into this fancy new Mignon. Now here's a role a certain mezzo should have been a natural for; pity she never Dunn it! It starts at 1:30 on numerous NPR stations. Don't miss the damn row Diana raises with Filene's technicoloratura abasement.
Christine Brewer is in full sail in the Albert Not-so-hard-of- Herring from Los Angeles, at 1:00 on the WFMT network. It also has a Shrader so you can safely dispose of your incriminating documents. Plus it's sung in English! Glad to see that the Angelenos have broken out of their original-language only policy.
A flute! Just think of all the things you can do with a flute. You can blow it. You can fiddle around with it. You can put it places and put your fingers on the holes. We all oughta be mighty happy that Radio Oesterreich has made this Flute available from Salzburg, home of the Salzburg Festival, and also home to a bunch of Salzburgians and a couple of people who could have been Salzburgians but got Trapped.
You know "Largo al factotum," right? Well, that's Rossini. You know "Treulich gefuhrt," right? Well, that's Wagner. Le nozze di Figaro has marriage and Figaro, but neither of those other things, so it's marked down to where it's available only on Radio Tre, which is like Old Dog Tre, but without the extra leg.

I was in Boston last month for the marathon and now I'm back for about 24 hours to attend a Reebok/Fitfluential event this morning.
I arrived last night and ended up timing things perfectly to miss the bus so it took about 2 hours total to get to the hotel with bus and shuttle waits. No biggie, but I was starving and ordered room service the minute I got there, feeling all sorts of fancypants.
Check out the sweet digs:
Oh, hello delicious greasy food that I might regret in the morning when I throw up doing the dead lift…
Thanks Reebok for the outfit and shoes:
I guess we are doing two different workouts today, a CrossFit one and a dance one, so we were asked to show up rested and ready to roll, basically don't work out this morning which was a tiny bummer because I love checking out hotel gyms and running in new areas.
Off to the event!

It's far from perfect, of course, but right now, at least, we have a hard time seeing how anyone could make a better budget device.
Read the full review →conclusion:We like it
With its sharp 4.8-inch HD display, support for AT&T's fast LTE data network, 12-megapixel camera -- and $49 on-contract price -- the Pantech Discover is a budget smartphone with features that rival more expensive models. PC Mag likes the Discover and says that, despite a mediocre video camera, it "is truly comparable with much more expensive smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S III." Laptop Mag also likes the Discover, and says its "curvy design, bright HD display and punchy stereo speakers make it a truly unique offering." Of course, smartphone prices keep coming down, so the Discover may not be the best bargain for long. But for now, it is, as PC Mag puts it, a model that "gets you the same features and performance you'll find in smartphones that cost more than twice the price, making it the best budget phone there is."

The Pantech Discover for AT&T gets you the same features and performance you'll find in smartphones that cost more than twice the price, making it the best budget phone there is.
Read the full review →If you're looking at high value for a good deal, you'd be silly to pass up the Discover. Although it's missing a few superpremium features, like Android 4.1, a quad-core processor, and a full-HD screen, there are very few flaws in the phone's performance, specs, and design.
Read the full review →The Pantech Discover really grabs your attention -- and not just because of its low $49 price. It's curvy design, bright HD display and punchy stereo speakers make it a truly unique offering. The only real drawbacks are this handset's below-average battery life and older Ice Cream Sandwich software.
Read the full review →The Pantech Discover is an excellent smartphone for the money that easily outperforms devices that cost more than twice as much.
Read the full review →The Pantech Discover is stylish and affordable without compromising on functionality. If the handset had launched six months ago, it would have been one of best value offerings in the Android smartphone game. Unfortunately, it missed its chance.
Read the full review →There are a few users that the design and niche features will appeal to, but for the wide masses ... I just can't recommend it. The HTC One X, One VX and LG Optimus G can all be had for about the same price and offer better screens, software and overall value.
Read the full review →First Looks
The Discover is ... a solid handset that appears to perform quite well, and Pantech's recent history has shown us that this likely isn't just a small hiccup.
Read the full preview →From what we've seen so far, the Pantech Discover is shaping up to be an exciting budget-friendly smartphone that should please both first-time smartphone users and power users alike.
Read the full preview →This machine's main point is to bring you a rather powerful presentation at an extremely low price point. Whether or not you want a smartphone now, with a $50 phone you'll have a bit more difficult time saying no – or that's AT&T and Pantech's intent, anyway.

We don't have any user reviews for the Pantech Discover. What a bummer. You know, you could be the first to write one!
You can also add the Pantech Discover to your Engadget Want List and we'll send you an email when there are new user reviews!

These Death People poems are examples of Death poems about People. These are the best examples of Death People poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
Daddy never did understand. That violence doesnt bring comfort. A lost soul seeking acceptance from a unwelcome hand. She was silent no one ever knew. The secrets behind her bruised eyes. A shocking victem none but all had a clue. She cried to empty walls never speaking aloud from fear. A confession of pain and shattred trust. this is only what angles hear. Scars selfinflicted are better than that dirty feeling. As she lays a broken shell gazing at the celling. She questions if others know what will they say. Doing whatever it takes to stay numb. Innocence lost a parent should never betray. The guilt was placed apon the wrong head. Void of all emotion. No child should yern to be dead. At times it gets to uncomfortable so in another direction we steer. For at times it's just to painful to stomach. What only angles hear.
Our moorland flowers sleep deep in the peat, tamped into loam, sad strays without homes, secrets silent as your taciturn, inscrutable soul. We listen for whispers in the gorse-sharp wind: the voices that plead are feeble - we pay no heed. Imagine me Hitler's whore, a leather-clad death camp doll. Twine your tormentor's hands in the Aryan hair you adore, bleached white as bones. Coldly hard, insert yourself like a knife, cervix-deep, your body churning inside me as if ploughing this wild furrow where we lie, a tangle of sighs, deaf to the cries of the ones who died. Pulp me into stinking soil, pulverized cotton-grass. Your eyes reflect sinister storm-stained skies, heather-shaded hills in misted light. I cannot explain why you excite. The thudding axe whacks you coolly delivered throb through me. I grasp sinewy fingers that have wrung out last gasps, strangled, slit throats, taped a sonata of screams for our secret pleasure. Do you feel me shiver, or hear a thin sliver of a cry? The steel-silver light is a killer - I close my eyes to the too-bright. And after, picnicking - sandwiches on a shallow grave, stream-chilled Rhine wine. Trophy photographs. We loom larger than this lofty landscape while far below us the oblivious city flickers. Yes, the sky is darkening like a stain* and what occurs, what falls, will not be rain but reactive fallout from our dark deeds. Myra Hindley and Ian Brady committed the infamous 'Moors Murders' in the UK in the 1960s *from W H Auden's poem 'The Two', which Ian Brady often quoted
When last they kissed, and summer's lease fell brief and sweet, and winter's chill would steal the heart away... Sweet coral days, turned blight to rust, and Shakespeare's words, will wring despair from what will never be. Behold, your eyes that weep, and empty arms will flail, for young lovers swept away on wings so frail... No other love could ever grieve so well. Shall hence, will come a cry, to shatter starry skies with tragedy to tell O' she of flaxen hair, fair cheeks so pale, His love was as a fever, longing still. His sorrow greater than the darkest night Too cruel to bear, delusion played unfair Despair, beyond all words could shout Disquiet of the heart cries out To death, that calls, from 'yond the distant stars. Sweet love so rare, a thing beyond compare. Where whence their love, once like the lilac full The blossom fragrant, so sweet as whippoorwill Ere' slumber's chain has bound them now. Thy song has waned, the garland dead upon the blade, upon the sword, asleep The swollen heart with anguish weeps…forever is a love to keep. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They slipped their chains and spread their brains On walls of bricks and mortar, Bared their teeth in their belief, Prepared themselves for slaughter. Howled aloud in the smoke and cloud That prowled the streets and alleys, The sounds they made in their parade Echoed down the valleys. They shed their blood in crimson flood, It stained the roads and gutters, And people hid and crossed themselves Behind their doors and shutters. The gunfire cracked and bodies stacked As one fell on the other, When it was done and lived there none, Each sister mourned each brother. The sun it rose, diseased and froze Out on a wracked horizon, The jackboot bastards drank their fill And cried out: "What's our poison!" Black as soot on a winter night, Thin with eyes red to the core, The tourists armed with skulls and guns Beheld the Dogs of Warsaw. Torn like rags in a threshing mill, Shapeless sprawl on a killing floor Yet history will not forget The butchered Dogs of Warsaw.
No longer at desk the typewriter has been given it's final rest. As he cant recall the day or year. The once strong mind is closed the body but a museum or tribute to what once was. he his home but locked within himself. Vist's from thoose who once knew the man are like people viewing a body at a wake. he calls from within the shell for for release. Yet his lips will not move his voice never sounds. Inside he burns for the chance to run as the river chases the sea. To be the man they never knew and the one he could admire and both despise. The page sits in typewriter like a willing eager lover in bed. Waitting in stockings that cling to delicate thigh. the tears escapes it's minds prison. He thirsts for it like a drunk for that morning drink of whiskey waitting hands held togather trying to keep from shaking. He sits as a painter without hand. watching the most beautiful sunset fade without a chance of ever capturing this moment. The ink is drying he feels it everyday. Soon he hopes like the dust that does gather he will be swept away.
When I am Colder,Older and then alone... I will collect the sky on my own... When the art has faded and the days then fade- when everyone has gone away... I may finally see what never was saw .....ahhhhhhhhhhhhh............... the quiet sky The unlit room which bares my end...shows the flashes of my pains my joys and sins. This life has been a strange one since the curtains were drawn These paper and plastic figures have clouded the dawn I was once younger,foolish,and obsessed with truth Now I am bitter,sour,dour faced with my heart under shoe The children were all searching or lost in a crowd All weeds in a garden...growing vile and foul Though beauty was sold it never came true Obsessions and vanity have traveled safe through Materials and poison and everything lost have been burned in the fires or lost in the frost I stand face to mirror tearing my being apart Winding thoughts of love,pain,god,and art As the sun sets and the darkness grows I too shall follow this pattern in tow Death has a friendly hand and a pretty face She has given me comfort as I leave this place The wars have occurred,humanity's lost Souls have been burnt in the fire or lost in the frost Day was Life,Night is Death And the latter has given counsel on my final steps
There are times we are left to cope With situations that drain our hope Leaving us full of despair At how some people just don't care About the evil that they do To good people like all of you We are left to somehow face That in mankind there is disgrace And those of us left alive Must find away to survive As you pick up the pieces of your life Without your mother, father, husband or wife And some of you God forbid Without the love of your kids We must band together with a brotherhood Show that in this world there is some good Because we are together in this deal We try to help each other heal We seek in each other good advice And offer each other sacrifice We hold each other in prayer and song As we continue to re-build the wrong Because what else in the world can we do Except let the light of good shine through The evil darkness and despair Of a catastrophic lack of care We want you to know you are not alone Think of America as a giant cone And all of us are funneling through Our prayers and hopes to all of you Posted for Nathan's 9-11 contest
Who am I and what am I to say?, All I've got to do is play, Along in a game I don't understand, Make people come to my land, A deal that you don't think about, Something thats going to start out, A trend that will last for years, Making people come to tears, Arguing points that don't get across, Having to deal with a great loss, This is my life and these are my words, Circling around like I'm in herds, Playing games with my head, Maybe I would be better off dead.
Stumbling Through a Bewildering Maze, Of Thoughts and Dreams, He Finds Emptiness. The Over-exhuming Haze of a Comfortable Life Exhausts Him, And He Sinks into Himself. Words From His Brief Interactions Are Destroyed By Him, Not Absorbed. It's Killing Him. Water From His Dusty Satchel, Glints as He Spills it onto His Lap. -You're Losing it - He Feels The Stares From Countless Eyes, And Shrugs it off with Solitude as his Shield. You've Become The Guy Your Parents Used To Tell You To Avoid in The Street. - You Wanna Hurt People - He watches the Cliques of People Enjoy his Insecurity. No-one Takes him Seriously. He Picks The biggest Guy, His Shank, more Powerful Than His Fist, He walks towards Him. - It's About To Go Sour - His Feet Crunches Aeons Beneath Him, And Stamps Out His Future Genetics. The Shank, Concealed in his Sleeve. Here it Comes, This Was his final mark of Respect. - His Veins Pump Hard - The Adrenaline Sends Tears to his Eyes, And Weakens His Legs, he'll Fight or Cry. The Shank Slides Like Threading Silk Into His Victims Stomach, Eyes Locked. - Control it, Stay Calm - There Was To be No Assistance, Retaliation Was To be Swift, and Effortless. He Smiled as They Withdrew Their Weapons From His Chest. - Fall To Your Knees - Choking on Muffled Screams, behind The Blood and Mucus Filling his Mouth. - Close your Eyes - The Light Seemed To Bend in and out of The Dark patches, It hit his eyes, and blinded him. - This Makes Sense - His Face hits Sand...
If in time you should divine that bees are fat and owls are brown then you will know as do I time will go slow so .... slow. And if in time you should find that veins are thin and blood is brown slow down slow down. Then, a time life's curtain came crashing ... and I'm certain you're asking, Why? ..... so am I

Turns out Saint Joseph's Catholic church was designed by a famous architect, A. Hays Town. Town was born in Vermillion Parish, and designed St. Joseph's in the 1960's.
The church never completed town's original design because they ran out of money, but church councilman Billy Guidry, found original blueprints.
"I knew once you walked into the church that something wasn't right. the ceiling was just a flat suspended ceiling, and it was just left undone," says Guidry.
The church will hold its first service in the renovated sanctuary this Saturday.

Hi all,
I have a table shares that consists of
company id, shareholder id, shareholder name.
Company id and shareholder id are decimal digits; shareholder name is text.
Due to some missings of my initial data, I'd like to create a unique id for
the shareholder ids
which are blank/null in the imported version and are the same for every
shareholder that
appears into couple of companies.
So far I've got to:
create table shares (company id not null, shareholder id not null,
shareholder name not null) PRIMARY KEY ( shareholder name)
Then I'd like to update the missing shareholder id with autoincrement and
group them by shareholder name, but I'm not sure how to do it.
I'm thinking of something like update autoincrement id where id is null
group by shareholder name.
Any straws/pointers are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
