Broward Ranks First Among Florida Counties

Florida Leads The U.S. In Foreclosures
Florida is number one when it comes to foreclosures. This is the first time since 2005 that Florida has held the top spot.
The rankings for September are based on figures released Thursday by RealtyTrac.
Within the state, Broward County has the highest percentage of homes going through the foreclosure process.
Jack McCabe is a housing analyst in Deerfield Beach and the CEO of McCabe Research and Consulting. He says the numbers don't come as a surprise and blames all of the flipping that took place several years ago.
"We had five years of absolute greed run amok, and it devastated our market," McCabe says.
He calls South Florida the epicenter for this type of behavior which included exotic mortgages that depended on prices continuing to rise.
"Even though it's six years later now I've been trying to warn people that this takes a while," McCabe says. "Real estate is not like the stock market. It doesn't fluctuate daily."
In Florida, it takes more than two years to complete a foreclosure. McCabe says this means it could take three to four years to clear out the inventory of foreclosed homes in the state.

I don't know much about him but seems interesting:
Solar Mike
He really is a little underrated to the general public. His positional versatility will be a huge asset to a defensive coordinator who knows how to utilize his abilities.
2014 Giants Mock (Extra 3rd from Nicks FA comp)
1. Khalil Mack, DE/LB, Buffalo
2. Zach Martin, G/C, Notre Dame
3. Donte Moncrief, WR, Ole Miss
3. Louchiez Purifoy, CB, Florida
4. Dominique Easley, DT, Florida
5. Marcel Jensen, TE, Fresno State
6. Jeremy Hill, RB, LSU
Where do you see Justin Tuck in that?
Jones is not a 4-3 DE at the NFL level in my mind. He's a DT and I'm not sure he'd be much more than a journeyman DT at that.
I don't like this pick for the Giants (trap player imo). I think he fits best as a 3-4 DE.

I would love to see us take Tank. Just don't know where he is in his recovery.
In that link they compare Jones to Osi.. He's gotta be better against the run than that
I like Jones but i dont think the Giants will draft him. The signing of Cullen Jenkins and the willingness to give Austin 1 more shot plus Tuck and Kiwi taking snaps at Strongside end not a lot of snaps for him.
If they take Jones that tells me they believe Justin Tuck is done. I think we will see a lineman but its going to be an edge rusher to replace Osi.
When the Giants defense was at its best they had beastly interior pass rushing from Justin Tuck and Fred Robbins.So having a Nickel interior pass rusher in my opinion isnt a bad thing. If u just keep Jones at Strongside end every down then your right its not going to work out very well. The problem with these type of players is if u refuse to use the versatility then your going to get a bust.

Should Greece Leave the Eurozone? >
The Costs of Greece Leaving the Euro Could Be Very High
The prospect of Europe's debt crisis spilling over to the United States is threatening
May 16, 2012
It is hard to imagine that the economic crisis in small country like Greece that is just over 2 percent of the Eurozone's gross domestic product is generating shock waves big enough to destabilize the region. Today, politicians, pundits and the public in Europe are talking about the possibility of Greece leaving the euro and returning to the drachma.
What seemed like an inconceivable idea just a few months ago, today seems almost inevitable, but the costs of Greece leaving the euro could be very high.
[See pictures of the EU in crisis.]
"The spillover effects, the chain of consequences that could result from that [Greek euro exit] are very difficult to assess," Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund told the press. "We can certainly assume that it would be quite messy."
Continued economic and political turmoil in Greece is generating great market volatility, wreaking havoc in bond markets and continuing to weaken growth prospects in the region. Greece's exit from the Euro could exacerbate these trends increasing the potential need for further bailouts for Spain for example.
The prospect of Europe's deepening sovereign debt crisis spilling over to the United States through exchange rates, trade and financial channels is also threatening.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the European debt crisis.]
Greece's continued failure to implement the harsh austerity measures imposed upon it by its creditors is making it hard for the creditors to continue to provide support. But Greece's non-compliance with this austerity agenda should not come as a surprise—the agenda was never politically or socially viable in Greece in the first place.
But where to from here? Europe and the Greeks themselves have to decide whether the costs of the bailouts are a worthy trade-off against Greece's inevitably messy withdrawal from the Eurozone.

Third-Ranked Tigers Top Central at Tipoff Tournament
November 22, 2008
November 22, 2008, St. Louis, Mo. - The third-ranked Tigers evened their record at 1-1 after finishing third at the Washington-St. Louis Tipoff Tournament following a 75-57 win over Central. The Dutch dropped to 1-2 with the loss.
Central held a 17-15 lead midway through the first half before the Tigers put together a 14-3 run on the way to a 38-33 halftime lead.
DePauw quickly extended the lead to 55-38 in the opening five minutes of the second half and Central got no closer than 14 the rest of the way.
Katie Aldrich (pictured) led DePauw with 20 points, while Katie Mathews followed with 16 and Brianna Frigerio added 10. Emily Marshall grabbed nine rebounds, while Cassie Pruzin led the way with six assists and four steals.
With a second half basket, Pruzin became just the 11th player in DePauw women's history to reach the 1,000-point plateau.
Laura Porter led Central with 14 points, while Sarah Paulson added 12. Andrea Clark grabbed nine rebounds as the Dutch held a 43-41 edge on the boards.
DePauw shot 39.7 percent from the floor to Central's 40.0 percent, but the Tigers committed just 13 turnovers to the Dutch's 27.
The Tigers return to action on Tuesday, November 25, when they host Anderson at 7 p.m.

Overcast ~ Flood Watch Thursday, Dec. 19, 2013 |
Let the hysteria begin!Posted Monday, November 12, 2007, at 11:55 PM
Bring on the basketball
I love all the sports I cover and I've learned much over the past year. But the sport I've loved since childhood is upon us and I couldn't be happier. There's just nothing like entering a packed gym on a Friday night to watch a couple of games. The smells, the sounds and the competition. I used to watch basketball on every level, from high school to the pros. But since I like to watch classy athletes with a passion for the game go head-to-head. I have quit watching the NBA. I'd rather watch a bunch of high school athletes compete for a game they believe in than watch a league of over-paid punks attempt to play a game they forgot years ago. All I've heard before the season is how good the Celtics are going to be -- the best team money can buy. Worked really good for the Yankees lately hasn't it. Garnett, Allen and Pierce -- a trio of underachievers. They might have some individual accolades but they don't have any rings. And when the season comes to its conclusion, they still will be without them. I receive a lot of grief because of the fact that I am not an Indiana Pacers fan. If the organization could get itself together and go through a season without making a special appearance on the police blotter, I might reconsider my position, but until then I could care less. It's strikes me funny that I see individuals in high school who conduct themselves in more of a professional manner than the people who are being paid millions to play the same game. They take the time to talk with kids, go out of their way to be polite to others and represent their schools in a positive light. I receive a lot of positive comments from coaches and parents thanking me for being at the events I cover. My usual response is "I love being here" or "I love covering the kids" and that is the truth. Part of the appeal of my job is having the opportunity to watch individuals progress from season to season and see them mature into young adults ready to take on the world. I hope when young athletes at the grade school levels seek athletes to imitate, they look closer to home. The athletes with the most class are at your local gym.

Legends of the Apollo
For more than 75 years, some of the world's greatest entertainers have performed at the famous Harlem theater
- By Lucinda Moore
- Smithsonian.com, May 10, 2010
(Courtesy Smtihsonian Books)
On November 21, 1934, a timid teenager stood paralyzed before the demonstrative Apollo Theater audience during amateur night competition. She had rehearsed a dance routine but was preceded by a duo that lived up to its reputation as the best dancers in town. "Do something!" the stage manager urged, so she sang "The Object of My Affection." Someone in the crowd yelled, "Hey, that little girl can sing!" That girl, 17-year-old Ella Fitzgerald, won first prize and soon was hired by bandleader Chick Webb (on drums), who played New York City's famous Savoy Ballroom. When Webb died in 1939, Fitzgerald led the band for three years before launching a solo career that would earn her a reputation as one the world's most extraordinary jazz vocalists, as well as the moniker "The First Lady of Song."
Additional Sources
"Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing: How the Apollo Theater Shaped American Entertainment," co-sponsored by the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) and the Apollo Theater Foundation, is on view through August 29 at the NMAAHC exhibition space in the National Museum of American History. It begins a national tour in October.
A book of the same name is available through Smithsonian Books.

in 1949 i saw ella fitsgerald and billy eckstine at "jazz at the philharmonic at Lake merrit, Oakland Calif.
in 1949 I saw Ella Fitzgerald and Billy Eckstein at "jazz at the philharmonic" in oakland, calif. I fell in love at 17. for years I sang like Ella and danced to Eckstein..."you sigh, a song begins, you speak, and I hear violins...it's magic" wow! what a swooner. 20 years later again I saw Ella at Rbt. Mondavi winery in Napa Valley. She still had the voice of a 17 year old. Later, Ray Charles, Dizzy Gillespe, Oscar Peterson, Lena Horn...if there is a heaven, I want to go where they are...I don't want to listen to any old harps...just give me a horn, a piano, and a black voice

It has bee a very long time ago when I, as a young woman from a small town in Rhode Island, was one of the many fans of Ella who sat in the great Appollo Theater and listend to her magnificent voice. A thrill I'll never forget--even now, at age 84.

This is a smoother, softer version of our very successful picnic blanket. It is made for us in the same Welsh mill, but from lamb's wool rather than sheep's wool. It makes a beautifully soft bed blanket or shawl and will keep you snug at festivals, picnics or watching TV.As with the picnic blankets, these are made from spare virgin wool so colours vary. The current colourways are orange, blue or grey. If you have a preference please add a note on the last page of the checkout.150cm x 120cm
These blanket are made from 'shoddy' lamb's wool, which is the wool left over from the production of virgin wool blankets. The wool is the same quality, but the colours will vary as these blankets are not produced to fixed designs. Each blanket is unique which we think makes them all the more special.

He may have joined the club just four days ago but there is no mistaking that there is a new Texan in the senate from government spending to gun control.
This Tea Party Republican is ready to make his mark in a town that he has been none too shy to criticize.
Joining me now to talk about the future of his party and you stand on the issues the senator Ted -- welcome back to FOX News Sunday.
This time as a senator good morning John I'm very glad to be here you know one of the first orders of business for you will be to consider nominees for the president's second term cabinet among them expected to be.
Former Nebraska senator Chuck Hagel it's expected the president will make that announced in the next couple of days.
How -- you vote on -- It.
If -- is nominated it is very difficult to imagine a circumstance in which I could support his confirmation.
It's interesting the president seems bound and determined to proceed down this path despite the fact that -- record.
Is very very troubling elimination of Israel he has not been a friend to Israel in my view of the United States should stand unshakable -- with the nation of Israel.
And he is consistently.
Advocated weakness.
With respect to our enemies with that -- through with respect to the nation of Iran.
He has opposed sanctions over and over again and the job of the secretary of defense.
Is to be a serious credible strength.
And deterrence and and unfortunately.
I think weakness and -- secretary of defense invites conflict because because bullies don't respect -- what's what's your problem with -- on the issue of Israel.
Op with respect to the issue of Israel he has repeatedly.
Opposed Israel criticized Israel placed all the blame on Israel.
It in dispute after dispute after dispute and in fact he's publicly.
Said US policy is dependent on on what he calls Israel lobby which is a pejorative term.
That I think does not reflect the realities of the strong US national security interest in maintaining battle lines.
-- -- that statement that he made was to Aaron David Miller former US diplomat I was gonna say this for the panel but maybe we could we could bring it up now here's here's what he said to David Aaron Miller regarding Israel was quoted in his new book.
The much too promised land.
He said that the people on Capitol Hill on paraphrasing here as we try to get this up.
People on Capitol Hill are afraid of the Israel -- says well I'm I'm a US senator we go here.
The Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here on the United States senator I'm not an Israeli senator but in an article Foreign Policy Magazine back beginning December.
And David Miller said what what it was talking about there wasn't as dire as many people are making it out to -- He is opposed to some Israeli policies but he certainly not anti Israel is not anti submit it.
And this is the guy who we said it took so do you do by mr.
Miller's argument.
Look at -- I don't know I'm not I'm not gonna speak to mr.
-- heart -- but but what I am concerned about.
Is his record and his past policy positions and and he's previously expressed the -- that.
With respect to Iran with respect to Israel that -- that he doesn't want criticism from other nations of the world.
That's not the job of the defense secretaries not being nominated as secretary of state.
You want to talk about the most effective diplomacy this nation has seen in modern times.
I would suggest it was Ronald Reagan standing up and winning the Cold War without firing a shot.
And that was -- through strength not through if you're Iranian Moline right now and you're looking at a Chuck Hagel who who.
Who thinks sanctions are too harsh.
You've got to be laughing at the prospects of it of anything harsher than sanctions all of that said sitting do you think he will be -- You know I I don't know I do think it is interesting that the president seems hell bent.
On nominating him despite the fact that a number of prominent Republicans have criticized him.
And the democratic senators have been.
Surprisingly silent I think this is a president right now.
Who is drunk the tee off on election he is feeling very good about himself he is feeling like there can be no opposition to his position and so doesn't seem.
He doesn't seem terribly concerned that there's not a -- -- for technical -- big nomination coming forward for Treasury Secretary as well Tim Geithner expected plea perhaps before the debt ceiling debate takes place Jack -- Who's currently the chief of staff over the White House is the leading candidate how would you vote on -- You know I would have to.
Look at his record and listen to what he has to say I'll tell you in my view on any Treasury Secretary.
Would be that -- that that I would want to hear some real proposals for growth.
You know in this whole debate about the fiscal cliff -- -- talk about taxes we were talking about spending noticeably absent from this equation has been growth and.
The biggest economic problem of the last four years has been the dismal economic growth under Barack Obama.
Our economy has grown one point 5% a year for four years that is less than half the historical -- This gets in your whole idea of retooling the Republican Party under the heading of opportunity conservatives of which I'd like to get into a just a second but do you share the distaste of Jacqueline that a lot of Republican colleagues have.
Over the way that he conducted himself during the debt ceiling debate at 2011 -- people said he was arrogant.
Impossible to work with Richard.
Well I I will confess I wasn't up here during that debate so he wasn't -- -- -- but I'd I had not dealt with them so so I'll keep an open and not and with any Treasury Secretary nominee my view is going to be.
Looking to the substance and this is not supposed to be popularity -- -- This is about fixing the problems.
That are affecting millions of Americans -- -- people all over this country I don't think their interest in the political squabbles in the capital their interest in getting the economy going getting jobs back and and that's where our focus.
So we've got a debt ceiling debate this coming up again you probably heard Mitch McConnell or heard of Mitch McConnell saying this morning the revenue pieces done no new taxes.
Are you going to hold to that line that the president will not get any more revenue and the only thing the president has to deal with here spent.
I'm I'm gonna suggest a slight tweak to it I'm happy for there to be lots of new -- I'm not happy for there to be new taxes.
The best avenue for new revenue is economic growth.
If the economy is sputtering along at 1% one and a half percent 2% GDP growth.
Tax revenues plummet people -- people are -- jobs if we get the economy up.
To the historical levels since World War II the average has been 3.3 percent.
In the fourth year -- Reagan's presidency our economy grew seven point 2% if we don't get.
GDP growth up to 345%.
That will be dramatically more revenue.
To pay off the deficit and debt but the way to do it is through pro growth policies.
Not new and additional tax senator are you willing to risk default on our debts by taking -- debt ceiling.
Battle right to the -- No and let me be very clear about this I do not support default on the debt we should never default on the debt and the only.
Players in Washington who are threatening default on the debt.
Our president Barack Obama and Harry Reid.
This is an issue and earlier in the show you played the president threatening default.
In any given month federal tax revenues are approximately 200 billion.
Interest on the debt.
Is thirty to forty billion dollars a month there is plenty of revenue to service the debt and any responsible president would've stood at that podium.
And set under any circumstances whatever happens with the debt ceiling.
We will -- -- pay our debt we will never default on the debt and the reason the president is doing is he's trying to scare people he is trying.
-- to raise this Specter of a financial apocalypse.
A wanna get into a couple of other issues issues quickly because we are running short on time despite the fact we -- a lot of time on this program.
Gun control you probably heard the last segment we're talk about ten bills introduced in the House of Representatives regarding gun control.
Joseph Biden is leading the study group at the White House you are a fierce defender of Second Amendment Rights you -- in that 22 and given the NRA's freedom fund award.
Is there any new gun control that you would except.
The reason -- discuss this is because of the tragedy.
And and and every -- and my wife and I we've got two little girls age four and -- Every parent was horrified at what happened to see twenty children's six adults senselessly murdered -- it takes your breath -- But within minutes.
We saw politicians run out.
And try to exploit this tragedy try to push.
Their political agenda of gun control I do not support their gun control agenda for two reasons number one it's -- constitution but is there any that you -- I don't think the proposals being discussed now makes us look are there things we could do sure one of the things we could do as we can improve.
The quality of the federal database right now a lot of states a lot of local jurisdictions or not.
Reporting criminal conviction not reporting mental health.

About the Author: Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856–1915) developed the concept of scientific management, a system of managerial control that stressed the rationalization of production processes. Taylor's work as a foreman in the steel industry in the 1880s led him to study how the precise management of workers' actions could improve industrial productivity. By the early twentieth century, his widely publicized methods were adopted in a broad range of industries.

Documents of American Diplomacy: From the American Revolution to the Present. Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 2002, 140–142.
About the Author: William Howard Taft (1857–1930) began his career as an Ohio lawyer and judge. In 1898, he was appointed head of the Philippine Commission, and then Governor General of those islands, which the United States had acquired in the Spanish-American War (1898). In 1904, Taft became Secretary of War to President Theodore Roosevelt. He was elected to the presidency in 1908, and served until 1913. Taft supported the expansion of American power abroad and pursued a domestic reform program intended to conserve natural resources and reduce the power of big business. However, he was not nearly as bold in his actions as Roosevelt, who ran against him in 1912 and contributed to his reelection defeat. In 1921, Taft was appointed chief justice of the Supreme Court, where he served until shortly before his death.

About the Author: J. Pierpont Morgan (1837–1913) headed the banking firm J.P. Morgan and Company from 1890 until his death. The most powerful figure in American finance in the early twentieth century, Morgan employed his dominating personality and exceptional business acumen to bring financial order to a rapidly expanding economy. Morgan stood at the very center of that order, gaining a degree of personal control over the American economy that many found unsettling.
The American economy surged in the late nineteenth century, securing the nation's status as one of the world's foremost industrial powers. Much of this economic expansion rested on the capital amassed by J.P. Morgan and his Wall Street associates and channeled into national railroad corporations and other industrial giants such as U.S. Steel, International...

About the Organization: The Progressive Party (nicknamed the Bull Moose Party) was organized in 1912 as a vehicle for reelecting Theodore Roosevelt.

About the Author: Walter Lippmann (1889–1974) was just twenty-five when he published Drift and Mastery, an inspired and wide-ranging critique of the American political tradition. A Harvard graduate whose major influences ranged from the philosophers William James and George Santayana to the socialist Graham Wallas and the muckraking journalist Lincoln Steffens, Lippmann soon emerged as one of the nation's preeminent public intellectuals. Drift and Mastery captures the young philosopher-journalist at his most earnest, revealing the sort of incisive social and political commentary that would become his hallmark in writing for such publications as The New Republic, The New York Herald Tribune, and The Washington Post.
Since the late nineteenth century, Americans had worried about the growing concentration of economic control by large corporations. This fear focused especially on...

About the Author: Charles Henry Davis (1865–1951), a civil engineer and manufacturer of road machinery, founded the National Highways Association in 1912. A prominent campaigner for improved roads, Davis advocated a federally coordinated system of national highways at a time when most roads were still locally financed, maintained, and administered.
Even as a nationally coordinated railroad network appeared in the late nineteenth century, American public roads remained under the control of the most local of governmental units. Towns were subdivided into countless road districts, with locally appointed "pathmasters" responsible for the maintenance of short stretches of dirt

About the Author: Mabel Potter Daggett (1871–1927) was a journalist who used her role to reach the public about issues she considered important. Her articles were widely published in women's magazines such as Good Housekeeping, and though her writing focused on issues that affected women in particular, she also wrote about broad social topics, including prohibition, and the orphan trains. Daggett made a name for herself as a journalist who didn't separate her personal convictions from her career.
America's entrance into World War I (1914–1918) had a dramatic effect on the nation's workforce. Over four million American men served in the armed forces from 1917 through 1918. During that same time, American industrial capacity increased tremendously due to wartime demands. Under these circumstances, women found new opportunities to enter fields of the workforce that had traditionally been reserved for men. They made significant gains in the railroading, metal working, and munitions...

About the Author: Bernard M. Baruch (1870–1965) was born in Camden, South Carolina. At age eleven, he and his family moved to New York City, where he attended college and took a job in a Wall Street brokerage firm. Baruch's sharp financial judgment quickly made him a wealthy man. Though Baruch never abandoned his ties to the corporate world, he occasionally operated in the public sphere, supporting Woodrow Wilson's presidential campaign and advising the administration in the preparedness drive during World War I (1914–1918). Baruch served as an economic adviser again during World War II and as the American representative to the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission.
There was little popular support in 1914 for American entrance into the war raging in Europe, and indeed, the nation officially adopted a neutral stance. Nevertheless, America's increasing trade with the British and strong objections to...

All God's Dangers: The Life of Nate Shaw

Date: 1974
Source: Rosengarten, Theodore. All God's Dangers: The Life of Nate Shaw. New York: Vintage Press, 1974.
About the Author: Nate Shaw (1885–1973) was an African American sharecropper who struggled to earn a living under the burden of legal and economic arrangements that privileged white land owners over African American tenant farmers. Shaw joined the Alabama Sharecroppers' Union in the early 1930s, and served twelve years in prison for defying local law officers' efforts to confiscate a fellow union member's livestock. Upon release from prison in 1945, Shaw continued to farm the land not far from where he was born.
After the Civil War (1861–1865), white and black southerners faced the challenge of redefining agrarian life that had long rested upon the institution of slavery. Struggles between southern planters and freedpeople yielded a new set of social and economic relations that offered measured autonomy to the former slaves. But white planters refused to sell them land, compelling African American farmers to live in a form of debt peonage: white planters owned the land, while African American tenant farmers were entitled to a share of the crop at the end of the season....

About the Author: Miriam E. Tefft was fifteen when her father, along with other armed citizens, rounded up and deported over a thousand copper miners—and other innocent citizens who were affiliated with them—from Bisbee, Arizona, to New Mexico on July 12, 1917. The Tefft family lived among Bisbee's elite and sided with the mining companies when the unionized miners went on strike.
Mining and the American West have been intimately tied together since the discovery of California gold in the mid-nineteenth century. But unlike precious metals, copper held value only in large quantities. Mining costs were high and the price of copper, unsteady. Under these conditions, mining companies like the Phelps, Dodge and Company's Copper Queen mine (PD) and the Calumet and Arizona (C&A) struggled to maintain profitability. In extractive industries like mining, this was typically accomplished through increasing production. Most companies realized higher profits by lowering wages and standards of...

I have two of these. When the first one sells I will post pictures of the second. Here's keyboard one: These two don't have my name so you can better see the lights, but it's obviously the same scene. I hope that's ok, if not a mod can remove/delete these photos: I let the pictures do the talking, lol. Awesome keyboards but I just need some money. They've barely been used as I just bought them last month. That was before I lost my job. Help a guy out, and I'll hand you a very nice keyboard. Asking $100, which is a lot less than Deck themselves ask. This is the PS/2 version and has full n-key rollover (that means you can press as many keys as you want and it'll still work!), but if you want USB I've thrown in an adapter for USB that works fine. Keep in mind USB spec only supports 6-key rollover, but that should be plenty for all your hoykey combos. it's still under warranty and includes registration paperwork. more info available here, it's the 105 Ice Tactile, as is the other one: http://www.deckkeyboards.com/ Enjoy! More stuff coming. http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=63621
As long as you have one picture showing all your items listed with the piece of paper, you can post as many supplemental pictures afterwards without the paper. One suggestion, though. Crop these pictures (or re-upload via techpowerup.org) and post the links to the full-sized ones. My poor netbook took a little while to render them fully.
Your timing is amazing—was just looking at Deck keyboards and decided I wanted one but the price was too high and I couldn't find them cheaper anywhere else. Will PM you in a bit (still waiting for pics to finish loading ). That's even the exact keyboard I wanted.
Yeah man, I love hi-res pics but understand not everyone has an awesome internet connection. I'll resize in the morning.
He says $100 in the OP. These keyboards are impossible to find anywhere else for under $150 (I tried for a week and had just given up when this thread was posted). Great deal on awesome backlit, mechanical, full NKRO keyboards!
Yep, and I still have one left if anyone wants. It's basically identical to the other and is displayed in the first picture (the one with the name). The one without the name is the one currently being sold to TIGR (unless he really wants the other one, lol) BTW, I only have 1 PS/2 to USB adapter, so TIGR please let me know whether you need it or not. It's one of the few that will work with these keyboards so I don't want to give it away if I don't have to... But I can tell people where to get them if they need it and it get's claimed. They cost around 10 bucks. Oh and Buyer pays shipping on these, forgot to say that. Man am I absent minded today! Thanks mods for keeping me in line, lol.
I insist that you give me the one in the other pic. (kidding) I don't need the adapter so it's all yours or whoever needs it. Question about that though—is a specific type of PS/2 to USB adapter needed, such that your average generic one won't work? Just curious for future reference.
It doesn't work with a standard passthrough converter, no. You need an "active" converter, one that actually converts the PS/2 commands to USB with a little onboard microcontroller. These are rare but not terribly pricy if you know where to get them, and they work with darn near anything. PS/2 is actually a pretty awesome interface though as it supports full-n-key rollover. Amazing it's like 20 years old or something. And actually, picking keyboards is a bad idea as they look exactly the same and minus serials, there is no way to tell them apart, lol!
Damn fine looking keyboard, looks like it puts the run of the mill Logitechs to shame. Just saw one of these at an e-tailer for $180 (plus shipping) so this is a heck of a deal.
Best keyboard around! I have a legend ICE tactile and I can tell you it is worth every penny it costs. Lifetime warranty, warrantied modding, key brightness adjustment, and just a freakin dream to type on. This is an investment that is great for gaming, typing papers and such as a student, and a sick looking keyboard to boot. Get the PS-2 version if you can and dont run it on USB as the nkey rollover is better on PS2
The fact that there's still one available just goes to prove this has got to be one of the most under-recognized keyboards available. Like SniiPE said, just a top notch item. If the other one is still here in a week I might just have to see if I can find a use for that one and buy it too. Bump for R-T-B.
It's only $100 I paid $80 for my crappy Logitech. This would last through infinate system builds. If I could justify it, I would buy it myself. Mechanical keys are hard to find, backlighting is a plus.
I'm reverting to my IBM model M for typing due to my budget crisis, but I'm going to miss those backlights man, plus that model M is a noise machine... Whoever gets this last one is a lucky man.
Got my keyboard from R-T-B yesterday. This is the nicest keyboard I've ever used. The backlighting (7 brightness levels) is superior to my Eclipse and all the Logitechs I've used, and the feedback is excellent. Characters on the keys are nice and big, easy to read. Played some CoD4 and NFSMW, and did a bunch of typing with it already ... feedback is excellent, typing is easier—I notice I have a much easier time confidently typing in the ridiculously long password I use for my encrypted RAID arrays. I type faster and with fewer errors on this than I do on my Eclipse. Keyboard is heavier than most, feels very solid, and is in excellent condition. I don't mean to go off topic with a mini-review here, but just want to let people know a bit more about a relatively unknown keyboard.

Terror Firma
Throwing You Down The Stairs
Bleeding heart hardcore, dealt out with obvious passion and conviction courtesy of Australia's own Terror Firma, can be found within the first few seconds of Throwing You Down the Stairs. This is skillfully arranged and assembled vitriol, and its immediacy slapped me in the face and honestly surprised the hell out of me.
Lyrics spew forth from the frothing mouth of..a woman? No fucking way, dude! The first time I listened to the album I listened to it all the way through and not once did I think for a moment that the vocalist was female, but after careful research I was left floored. Normally I am not a big fan of hardcore vocalists, but Jacquie demands attention with mostly shouted and more infrequently used clean vocals, and even successfully incorporates spoken-word passages into the mix, the latter being a particularly difficult feat to accomplish.
Like any great hardcore group that flirts with punk, metal, and crust, Terror Firma keeps things remarkably short on Throwing You Down the Stairs. To be exact, it's 18 minutes long. This approach keeps songs distinguishable from one another and will please listeners looking for a quick, no bullshit release. Songs like " Here's to You and the Human Race" convey this loyalty to immediacy most clearly. Within a 1:48 time frame, it switches from hyper-speed melody to catchy breakdown with the smoothness of a fine vodka and even allows for a few seconds of cleverly incorporated clean vocals. There is an amazing sense of balance between the rougher element inherent in hardcore and a previously unheard and, to my ears, nearly revolutionary melody. The guitar tone can sound so raw and yet switch so seamlessly into this highly melodic pitch. It all makes this affair quite impressive.
Usually something as seemingly schizophrenic as Throwing You Down the Stairs would find its way in the trash as a product of too many uncontrolled ideas becoming one big pile of diarrhea, but Terror Firma arranges its different sonic textures in a way that is palpable to listeners while challenging their notions of the limitations of hardcore. Color me converted.

Chief political correspondent Carl Cameron with a Romney ad that sparked an Obama campaign charge raising eyebrows.
Romney's newest ad effectively calls the president a liar for what independent fact checkers call false and misleading charges that -- it was an outsource or at Bain Capital the Obama outsourcing attacks.
Misleading unfair and untrue when a president doesn't tell the truth.
Just leave it.
Team Obama jumped on a Boston Globe story that three years after Romney left Bain and 99 to run the Olympics and a handful of federal documents still -- -- the CEO that's something clients outsourced jobs.
Either Mitt Romney threw his own words and his own signature.
When misrepresenting.
His position at -- to the FCC -- -- a felony.
-- he would misrepresenting.
His position that saying to the American people to avoid -- responsibility.
For some of the -- -- -- the his investment.
But -- officials which include major Obama donors insisted again today that it took some time to finish the paperwork quote.
Mitt Romney left Bain Capital in February 1999 to -- the Olympics.
And has had absolutely no involvement with the management or investment activities of the firm or with any of its portfolio companies since the day of his departure.
Romney's campaign manager labeled the Obama attacks a new low calling the integrity of the president's whole campaign into question quote.
President Obama ought to apologize for the out of control behavior of its staff which demeans the office he holds.
117 days left in a -- about jobs and the economy -- each -- now.
The other of lying and deceiving the public.

General Hospital Recaps
GH Week of August 30, 2010
Lisa saw Robin coming and leaped in front of her car. "I didn't see her!" Robin cried. "She tried to kill me," Lisa gasped. Robin told the police she wasn't drunk or speeding. After they left, Robin told Patrick that Lisa is crazy. Back at GH, Robin told Steve what had happened. Steve pointed out that Lisa filled a complaint against Robin. "Lisa is trying to set me up," Robin groaned. Later, Mac took Lisa's statement: "Robin tried to kill me." She revealed the affair, and said Robin is falling apart. She recapped about the locker room, and Patrick confirmed the infidelity. "I told you this would happen," Mac groused. He demanded Robin and the baby move in with him. Patrick insisted Lisa was acting crazy — she even took Emma. Mac suggested, "Lisa is doing an excellent job of making you look disturbed and dangerous."
Brook Lynn told Carly that she broke up Dante and Lulu by letting Lulu catch them together, and asked to be paid. Carly wanted proof before cutting a $50,000 check. Brook moaned that her reputation might be tainted back in the old neighborhood, and if Carly won't pay up, she will tell Dante and Lulu Carly's plan. She doesn't know who she's dealing with, snarled Carly, who didn't fall for Brook's scam. So Brook went to the loft and confessed to Lulu: "Carly is lying to you," she said. When Carly arrived, Lulu asked Carly to look her in the eye and deny Brook's claims. Brook recapped the whole sordid story — and said she couldn't go through with it because Dante is an old friend. Carly confirmed she brought in Brook to seduce Dante.
At Lake Como, Murphy got a call from his agent, who wanted him back on-set. Brenda encouraged him to return. Back in Rome, Brenda wanted to keep the engagement on the down-low for now. He set off for Australia, and Brenda told Suzanne about the engagement. Suzanne wondered if Sonny is completely out of her system. Brenda insisted Sonny is in the past. Suzanne asked if she loves Murphy. Brenda replied that the highs won't be as high, nor the lows as low. At PCPD, Bernie advised Sonny to leave the country ASAP, but Rome is not a good idea. Sonny was adamant. "I gotta end the madness," he declared. Sonny gave Bernie a message for Jason: take care of his children — including Dante. And maybe convince them that he fled in order to protect them. Then Olivia entered the interrogation room, suggesting that the Sonny she grew up with would not shoot an unarmed man; Johnny probably had a gun. Sonny insisted Johnny did, and Olivia chose to believe him. Sonny insisted he only wants peace, but feared for his life. "You're both better men than this," Liv claimed. Dante said he still believes in Sonny. Sonny vowed not shoot any more unarmed men. Olivia suggested not shooting any type of men, but Sonny noted it's too late for that. Sonny recapped about leaving a woman at the altar, and now Robin has run into Brenda. Michael appeared at the station and demanded to talk to his father. "I want you o run," Michael said, because the other inmates all hate him. Sonny told Michael tell his siblings that Sonny loves them — but don't tell Dante they talked. "I'm so proud to be your son," Michael declared and left. Diane entered the room with news that Sonny's arraignment has been moved up.
One of Lopez's thugs stormed the cabin in the woods, and Sam shot him in the back. Jason returned, and then suddenly, Lucky burst through the door, guns blazing! He recapped about Sonny shooting Johnny, and noted that he was tracking Lopez's men until forced to take cover in the cabin. Jason proposed creating a diversion for Lucky to get Sam out. Lucky suggested sitting tight. Then a firebomb came through the window, and everyone stared at it.
In Rome, Brenda was flashing back to the knife attack when Interpol agent Derek Bates knocked on her door to investigate that very attack. He said she's become the target of "a very dangerous individual." No, not Sonny Corinthos — "the Balkan," head of an international crime syndicate. Brenda noted how her work for ASEC has brought unwanted publicity to exploiters of children before. Later, Suzanne scolded Brenda for not being more careful; if she's dead, she can't help ASEC. Suzanne told her to go to London with Murphy, but Brenda refused.
Sonny was brought into night court for arraignment before Judge Hamaad, with Dante in attendance. Sonny pleaded not guilty. When Claire called for no bail, Diane mentioned Claire's improper contact with Sonny. Claire said Sonny asked for it, and she has been a professional. Diane called Dante to the stand, and he testified that Sonny is not a flight risk and loves his kids. Judge Hamaad set bail at $3 million. Dante warned Sonny that Michael told him Sonny doesn't lie to his kids, so Dante was banking on that. Claire flashed back to making out with Sonny, then warned Dante that Sonny hurts the people he loves. Dante went to Sonny's, and found Diane waiting. He realized that Sonny had already skipped town, and called in an APB.
In the wilderness, Lopez's men threw a firebomb into the cabin. As smoke and fire raged, Lucky went out the front door, firing wildly, while Jason carried Sam out the back. Lucky eventually made his way to them — just as the shooting resumed. They moved back toward the house, and realized they were almost surrounded again. This time Jason drew their fire. Later, after shooting died down, the police finally showed up, and Lucky went to handle them.
At G.H., Mac pointed out the only evidence on record are Robin's threats; nothing Lisa did was reported. Mac resolved to write off the car incident as an accident. But Robin refused, noting, "I can't let that bitch so easily off the hook." Mac agreed to keep the case open. Patrick apologized, and Robin sneered that she hates him. Matt visited Lisa, who mentioned concerns about Robin's history with postpartum depression. Later, Robin visited Lisa, to tell her Patrick thinks she's sick and twisted. Outside, Matt asked Patrick if he's sure Lisa is lying. Matt pointed out that no one saw Lisa trash Robin's home or jump in front of her car. Maybe Robin is the one losing it, Matt suggested. Patrick showed up and pulled Robin out of Lisa room. He begged her to stay away because he feared what Lisa would do to their family.
Brook explained to Lulu how Carly hired her to seduce Dante. Carly admitted she did it, "because I love you." She claimed that as Sonny's son, Dante will eventually break Lulu's heart, so Carly wanted to prove what Dante is really like and thereby protect Lulu. "I was wrong," Carly admitted, adding that Dante is nothing like Sonny; he loves Lulu. Brook begged Lulu not to believe Carly, who accused Brook of abusing her trust and her cousin, and told her vacate the hotel — and Port Charles. Lulu was furious at Carly's methods, then casually mentioned that Sonny shot Johnny. On cue, Sonny called Carly — from a jet — and told her Diane is bring something to her from him. Aboard the jet, Sonny flashed back to Brenda telling him to leave town.
Dante returned home and kissed Lulu before they swapped notes about Carly and Sonny. Meanwhile, Carly met Diane at Metro Court. She asked how to get in touch with Sonny, but Diane advised her to let him go. Sonny abruptly diverted his flight to Rome, because, "There's someone I need to see."
Olivia perched at Johnny's bedside, begging, "Please come back to me." He awoke, calling her name. "You're cute when you get scared," he croaked. Liv told him he's been unconscious for over a week, but he'll be okay. He said he remembered Sonny shooting him, then started getting agitated, so Maya checked him out. After Olivia went home to freshen up, Maya returned and told Johnny that Sonny claimed the shooting was self-defense, but the cops think Johnny was unarmed. When Claire questioned him, Johnny said he and Sonny were just talking. Liv returned in time to hear Johnny claim that Sonny simply pulled out a gun and shot him.
Michael summoned Jax to the loft and told him that he cannot follow his parents' dream for his education and career.He wants to drop out of Madison Prep. He's concerned about what he might do to the other students. Jax suggested Port Charles High, but Michael didn't want to go to any school. Jax suggested hiring a tutor to finish his degree. Carly found Alexis and Kristina breakfasting at Kelly's, and told them Sonny skipped the country. Kristina was instantly angry, but Carly pointed out that he couldn't tell her without subjecting her to subpoena. Kristina bemoaned being conflicted: glad he left, but sad he didn't say goodbye. Alexis said Sonny is actually doing the best he can to love her. Carly next visited Michael, to tell him about Sonny. Michael confessed that he told Sonny to run last night. Sonny had asked him to convey his love to the kids, but Carly pointed out he can't tell anyone without proving he violated his parole. They agreed they will miss Sonny. Later, Kristina visited Michael, distraught because she cannot give up on Sonny even though he's the exact opposite of everything she wants in a father. Krissy then worried about returning to school with the gossip machine fully revved about her, and how she can't stand the thought of a guy touching her. She was happy he would be at Madison, too.
Jason brought Sam to G.H., where Claire appeared and demanded that Jason tell her where Sonny went. Steve took Sam away for treatment, and Claire demanded Jason pay her back for getting him out of Pentonville. Steve told Nikolas that Elizabeth is settled in Palo Alto, Calif. Nik admitted setting it up as the best way to let Liz go. Meanwhile, Jason was sure Sonny shot Johnny only in self-defense, but Claire insisted Sonny acted in rage. Then Steve reported that Sam has a soft-tissue injury and has to stay off her feet. At the hub, Nikolas listened to Robin vent about Patrick cheating. Nik suggested that just because someone cheats doesn't mean they don't love the person they cheated on. Later, Diane burst into the penthouse demanding to know why Sonny's plane was diverted to Rome. Jason said, "Brenda lives in Rome." Jason said seeing Brenda is worst move Sonny could make. Then Carly arrived, demanding to know, "Where's Sonny?"
At Crimson, Lulu was cheerful now that Brook Lynn is out of her life. At the Quartermaine mansion, Maya was on her way out when she ran into Brook, suitcase in hand, saying she made a mistake and is looking to return to "my family." Edward invited her in, but Tracy was suspicious. Brook called Tracy "Granny," and admitted she had a falling-out with Carly because she couldn't go through with breaking up Dante and Lulu. Edward invited her to stay, but Tracy insisted Brook must go back to school; Brook agreed. Edward went to check on Brook's room. Brook grabbed his cell phone and tried to do a wire transfer of $50,000 — but Tracy busted her. Edward said she can keep the cash if she agrees to live under Q house rules. Brook wasn't having that, and left. Nik found her wandering in the rain outside Kelly's, and took her home.
Johnny told Claire that he was unarmed when Sonny shot him. Olivia urged him not to lie about the shooting, noting that Sonny told her a different version of events. Johnny was disappointed that she took Sonny's side, and told her not to bother coming back. Claire asked about Johnny being at Kelly's before going to Baker Street on his way home. She was skeptical that he wasn't carrying a gun. And why would he want a truce? Johnny said he didn't want Sonny's kids to become collateral damage. She was suspicious that he was so confident in his story. Later, Michael visited to remind Johnny that he owes Michael for saving him. Michael demanded that he tell the truth about whether he had a gun.
Kristina noted that she and Michael can be outcasts at Madison Prep — and lean on each other. When Dante returned, he pronounced Sonny "guilty as sin," but noted Sonny does love them. Kristina said sometimes you actually have to be there for your kids. Krissy was happy Sonny left, but Michael and Dante tried to convince her not to give up on their dad. Later, Lulu came home, and Dante admitted he can't let the investigation go. He doesn't know whether Sonny ran because he's guilty or really is being railroaded. He resolved to find a witness who saw him unarmed. Or armed. Whatever — he just wants the truth.
Nikolas brought Brook Lynn to Wyndemere, for tea and a hot bath. She was suspicious, but accepted. Later, she told him Carly screwed her over. Brook made trying to break up Dante and Lulu by sleeping with him sound like any other summer job. When it didn't work out, Carly pulled the plug and left Brook penniless. But Nik has a job for her: "I'll pay you to be my date for the weekend." She insisted she's not a hooker; he explained he just needs a companion for a house party.
Jason tried to resist telling Carly where Sonny went, but she wore him down. "I think he went to find Brenda," he said. Carly was furious that Sonny ran out on all four of his kids to chase after "spoiled" Brenda, "his favorite little toy." She said Sonny will be happy until things fall apart again, because Brenda is "just as crazy as" Sonny. Carly wanted to intervene, but Jason made her promise not to do anything. She stormed out. Then Sam hobbled down the stairs, and he told her about Rome, noting, "he's not smart when it comes to Brenda," and they always end up hurting each other. Sonny arrived in Rome, staying in a villa owned by old pal Tino Coppola. Sonny saw Brenda's photo in a magazine and flashed back to calling her "the most perfect woman in the world." Tino's assistant told Sonny that Brenda is at Hotel Paradiso — and mentioned that Tino is concerned that Sonny not cause trouble with the Balkan. Sonny assured him he is on personal business. Meanwhile, Suzanne scolded Brenda for going shopping while the Balkan is targeting her. Suzanne suggested going back to the States, but Brenda balked at returning to Port Charles, because she has resolved to live her own life and be happy. Suzanne was satisfied when Brenda agreed to be more careful. Alone, Brenda contemplated Sonny's e-mail address. She flashed back to a fight with Sonny — or rather, shouting at him and breaking stuff and cutting her own hair — over being more than just a pretty face. She was interrupted by a call from somebody she very much wanted to see. Outside, Sonny sat at a cafe, with a view of Brenda's hotel. Back in Port Charles, Carly met Jax at Kelly's because it was a special place for him and Brenda, and she indicated that Sonny has gone to Rome. Jax lamented being in the middle of Sonny and Brenda drama. Carly asked if he wanted to fly to Rome to save her from Sonny again. In the Eternal City, Sonny dropped his magazine just as Brenda came out of the hotel and looked around...
In Rome, Brenda spotted the guy she was looking for: Murphy. Meanwhile, a charming local lady chatted up Sonny, distracting him. Sonny recapped his relationship with Brenda for the woman: "We tried, we failed, we tried," but they could never quite get it right. Sonny also talked about Stone, being force to marry another woman, and how he encouraged Brenda go off on her own. Sonny said he just wants to see Brenda to know if she's happy. As his new companion left, she told him it would be a crime to let true love slip away without fighting for it. In her room, Murphy told Brenda that Suzanne called him about Brenda going out without guards. Brenda was angry that Suzanne was checking up on her. And that Murphy assumed she needed him to look after her. He asked her to come to England with him and she flipped out. She screamed at him and accused him of thinking of her as someone who needs a man to rescue her. He realized that she was projecting her pent-up anger at Sonny. Murphy insisted he didn't deserve to be blamed for what other guys did. Brenda bristled at the idea of knuckling under to a threat from the Balkan or anyone, and if Murphy doesn't like it, he can leave. So he left. She chased after him. Elsewhere, two men examined a photo of Brenda and Murphy. "This is the woman we're looking for," said one guy.
Back in Port Charles, Lucky ordered Michael to leave Johnny alone; if anything happens o Johnny it will look like attempted murder, and Michael goes back to Pentonville. Michael left. Lucky asked, if Sonny and the Lopezes were gunning for Johnny, why was he unarmed? "How would you like a new job?" Johnny replied. Lucky was wary of being bribed, but Johnny just wand him to quit and come work for him. Lucky went to the loft and told Lulu about Johnny's offer -- and confessed he was tempted. "I'm restless," he admitted. Police work is frustrating him. He's envious of Johnny and Sonny for the "rhythm and creativity" of being an outlaw. He and his father used to run scams (but only on people who deserved it), and he misses it. He promised to tell her if he makes a decision.
Robin demanded some lab results and left to check on them, leaving a beaker bubbling. Meanwhile, Patrick consulted with a new orthopedic surgeon for a case. After Patrick went to prep, Lisa came over and told the doc that another patient's mother is accusing him of shoddy work, and she's willing to take the operation so he can deal with the woman. Later, Lisa eavesdropped as Robin apologized for her personal problems affecting the job; he was only concerned about compromising patient care. When Robin returned to her office, she found Emma's favorite toy, Tubby Puppy, boiling in the beaker.
At Kelly's, Jax called Carly his standard-bearer; noting that no other woman would ever match up to her. But she was still jealous of Brenda, which distressed Jax. He mentioned michael doesn't want to return to Madison, and Jax agrees, but will defer to Carly's decision. At the penthouse, Jason told Sam how needy Brenda was. Later, Dante came by and challenged Jason to prove his conviction that Sonny didn't shoot an unarmed Johnny. Then Carly burst in, babbling wildly about where Sonny went -- before she noticed Dante was in the room!
Kristina and a girlfriend from Port Charles High lounged at the country club. When Michael came over, Kristina asked him to talk her out of transferring to PC High because of all the grief Sonny has caused. He confessed he is pondering dripping out himself. Kristina's pretty pal tried to drag Michael into a playful water fight, but he violently recoiled in horror from her touch.
As the hit men prepared to strike, Sonny waited at the cafe, and Murphy stomped through the street -- until the thugs grabbed him! There was a struggle, and a gun went off. The sound attracted attention. Brenda turned to see Sonny -- and they smiled at each other.

the 1st is firestarter!jamesssxD wrote:Snippets on youtube since soundclouds ones been removed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LassIP1aHXk
Sound good! Really like the first one.
http://www.rap-up.com/2011/07/25/qa-ame ... new-album/Ameriie breaks out of the box and explores new territory on her fifth album Cymatika, Vol. 1, which includes unorthodox topics ranging from ancient astronaut theory to androgyny to new world order mixed with elements of trance, electronic, house, heavy drums, and new wave.
"There's a song about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah with extraterrestrials destroying them with nuclear weapons," explained the Georgetown grad of "Sodom & G." "I don't feel like that's really been done."
Other tracks include the mechanical "Intimidation," "Run for Cover," and the likely first single "FireStarter (Private Dancer)." "I really wanted to talk about the human experience," shared Ameriie. "I wanted to talk about other stuff, but in a way that's still listenable."
Rap-Up.com spoke with the newly married singer about what we can expect from her genre-bending album.
How would you describe Cymatika, Vol. 1?
This album is pretty much trance, electronic, elements of house, heavy drums—not hip-hop in that sense, but drums that knock—and new wave with classic song structure. I probably finished about 80% of the project. Now what I've been focusing on is creating songs that really have strong essence of each of those elements in one song. I used dubstep 'cause I love the gritty sound of it. That's my challenge right now is to take all of these five elements and combine them into one record.
A lot of the topics are about us as human beings—who we really are on that level, not a physical level. One thing I was experimenting with from a vocal aspect was androgyny and approaching the vocal in an androgynous fashion. To me it represents the dropping away of the veil of what's physical and on a spiritual level, we're not really men or women or age, we're ageless eternal spirits without gender, without sex, so the androgyny symbolizes that—and of course it's fun. A lot of the songs don't really sound like me. I think I'm gonna have to start putting out albums every year because that's the only way I can keep up with myself creatively. Albums are bookmarks of where I am creatively. I really want to put out more albums.
Who are you working with?
Riley Urick. He's really talented. He has a great ear for what you want and he works with a crew of guys too. I worked with Andre Harris, formerly of Dre & Vidal. He did about half of the album.
Does the album have a theme?
The theme of the album is what it means to be human. I have songs about not being intimidated by society and what people think you should be, not wanting to be chic, kinda wanting to have your own identity and not feel like you have to follow the crowd. I also talk about self-suppression and how sometimes we suppress the feelings that we have or the ideas that we have. I'm into ancient astronaut theory, so I've combined my love for that into a song called "Sodom & G." I basically compare the end of a relationship to the end of those cities. I make reference to me wanting to look back at the relationship when I still want to hold on just for a little bit longer before I totally relinquish it. Underneath that layer is the layer that Sodom and Gomorrah is not just being destroyed, but is being destroyed by nuclear weapons—all in a very listenable song.
How was the recording process different from the past?
I love to create moods and create sounds. Music is all vibration so I love to experiment. When you break out of a genre, you really have the freedom to do whatever you want. In all my situations, I've always had creative freedom so I never felt like the label was trying to get me to do something. However, it wasn't until I really, really felt free that I realized that I felt a freedom that I didn't even feel before when I felt free before. Right now, the page that I'm on is I'ma do what I want, and I always felt like I was like that. I do what I want and how I want to do it. There were parts of me that weren't really ready to totally do what I wanted. No one else was holding me back. It was just myself. It's kinda like [one of the new tracks] "Run for Cover," it's like running from yourself and you'll eventually run out of places to hide.
What inspired you this time around?
The things that inspired me on this album were everything from fire to the color red to any indigenous people, like with the chanting on "Sodom & G." Also machines and machinery to ideas of new world order to who we are as spiritual beings. I was like, 'F– it. I'ma do what I want.' I don't care if it sounds really crazy.
What can you share about the first single, "FireStarter (Private Dancer)"?
On the surface, it's about having fun, dancing the night away basically. A certain part of the song is fun, but it also speaks to our "look at me" culture a little bit. It's kinda how everyone wants to be in the spotlight, not necessarily being in entertainment, just in some form. And kinda like how the world is a stage and how we are all the creator of our own reality. The hook goes, "'Cause everybody in this whole wide world wants to be somebody in this world." It's very subtle, I don't go deep into it like in the other songs.
Let's talk about "Intimidation"…
When I did the vocals on "Intimidation," that was different. When I hear that song, I hear stark warehouse, people being systematically programmed into doing certain things every day, living in the system, living in the matrix, living under certain rules. When you live under certain guidelines and rules, eventually you'll adopt them yourself and then you don't have to control the population because everyone controls themselves. It has this driving beat, it's like a big, heavy beat, but it almost feels like machinery.
What do you hope people take from this album?
For this project, people will really know me because it's not just about romance, it's about other stuff in general and what I believe. If they listen to the CD, they can actually come away with it and say, "I know her and what she's about."
