I am a dead person; well, a relatively dead one. I know because there have been times when I was alive–the contrast between the two states is clear to me. Of course dead and alive are not really so binary. The world is full of the walking and talking dead. We all make our contributions to the litanies of the dead. What then is the rhetoric of the dead? It is the rhetoric of symbols larger than meaning where, like gray clouds, dense symbols obscure most of the light behind. All systems, religions, philosophies, all science, all are dead rhetoric if lacking spirit and a good motive. And while we are dead, all the good voices of past and future are likewise dead for us. But when we awaken to life, the best of past and future live in us.
Be wary of the words of dead people, be wary of me, and in this you affirm the primacy of spirit everywhere. In concert with my muses, I may occasionally flicker to life, the rest of the time you can ignore me without loss of much benefit.

It was our second year at Brighton, and we took the full team down together with a larger stand and even more of our electrical goodies. Much fun was had by all, even though the picture seems to show I was 1/2 asleep!!! Even the weather held on long enough for everyone to have fun :-)

1981 Donruss, Sparky Anderson
#370 Sparky Anderson
Here is a card that I got in the mail yesterday from Hall of Fame manager Sparky Anderson. Wow, two consecutive manager cards on here; that is a first. I sent this card to Sparky on the second and had it back in six days. I think that was a day or two quicker than Jim Fregosi.
I wrote to Sparky about a year and a half ago and got an '08 Goudey signed by him since I didn't have this card. I then saw reports that Sparky wasn't signing through the mail anymore. Because of that, I didn't even worry about getting this card signed since I didn't have it. But, I recently noticed that Sparky has been signing through the mail again, so I bought this card on my last checkoutmycards purchase. Despite the fact that Sparky looks like on old Oompa Loompa in this picture, I am still happy with the results.
One thing that I do like about the '81 Donruss manager cards is the stats on the back of the card. They list his record as a manager for every year they managed. Not only that, but they also include the manager's lifetime stats from his playing days. You will not find a modern card giving that much information on the back of a manager card.

There's nothing fun about tax season, except that moment when you see you'll be getting a refund. If it happens, a little whistle goes off. You instantly start thinking of ways you can spend it.
Maybe it's the perfect amount for that trip you've always wanted to take. Or, maybe it's enough to cover a few home makeover projects. But, why spend those extra dollars on something that won't last, or that you won't get that much joy out of?
Get yourself a little gift instead. Splurge on one of these five gadgets.
1. Not your average alarm clock
Alarm clocks don't have to be clunky. Nowadays, technology packs a more powerful punch while being a lot less obvious. That's what we love about the Music Table Clock Block from Ginko. Its sleek wood casing gives it a modern look. The date and time are displayed on the surface, and it doubles as a Bluetooth speaker. Sync it up with your smartphone or tablet to play music, or bring the audio in movies and video games to life.
When it comes to sound, the Music Table Block is no lightweight. It blasts six watts of stereo output from two high-fidelity audio drivers and passive sub-woofers. And, the Bluetooth feature has a 10-foot range, so you won't be tied down to one spot.
You can find the Music Cable Block on Amazon.com.
Price: $150
2. The light that shines in more ways than one
Most of us spend more time at work than we do at home. And yet, we give little attention to our desk accessories. That's probably because a lot of desks are pressed for space. With just enough room for our computer, keyboard and mouse, adding something new seems impractical.
But, with the Mighty Bright Lux Lamp, it's a different story. This little gadget goes above and beyond, giving your work space a touch of style, while also being incredibly practical. The Mighty Bright has two USB ports that allow you to charge your phone, tablet or other electronic devices. Plus, its built-in perch allows for both vertical and horizontal display. So, you'll never miss an update that comes in while you're working.
You can find the Mighty Bright Lux Lamp at Amazon.com.
Price: $150
3. Indoor Amplified HD Antenna
One great way to spend your tax refund is to purchase something that will save you even more money throughout the year. The Komando Indoor Amplified Antenna will help you do just that!
Did you know that he average U.S. household pays over $750 every year for cable? While those customers can get nearly 200 channels, most only watch 17 of them on average. That's why so many people are cutting the cable cord.
With the Komando Indoor Amplified Antenna, you can watch local news, weather, live sports and all of the top-rated shows for FREE! You'll receive free over-the-air programming in HD along with Dolby Digital Sound. There are no monthly fees, subscriptions or contracts.
Click here to visit Kim's Shop for more details.
Price: $65.95
4. A whole new way to print out ideas
You may have noticed that "3-D" has been the buzzword in the printing industry lately. But, 3-D printers are so new that some people are still trying to figure them out. What can you do with them? Are they expensive? Is printing in 3-D even practical?
The truth is that 3-D printers aren't as expensive as you might think – at least when it comes to consumer models, like the 3-D Desktop Printer from HICTOP. And, while they may not be a practical solution for everyone, no one can argue that they're incredibly fun. Use this gadget to make personalized gifts, key chains, trinkets and toys. It prints at speeds of 120 mm per second, and supports an SD card.
You can find the 3-D Desktop Printer at Amazon.com.
Price: $299
5. The easiest way to open your garage door
If you prefer something that's truly practical, then go for the GogoGate 2 Garage Door Opener. It makes opening your garage door and any gates to your home much easier. Just install the device, then download the app (which is free for both Apple and Android). The app allows you to sync up to three different doors or gates, and even share access with temporary guests.
Another feature of the GogoGate 2 is the ability to monitor your garage door and gates with video. Just integrate your existing IP camera, and use the app to keep an eye on everything.
You can find the GogoGate 2 on Amazon.com.
Price: $134

A short satirical horror flick about vaping was praised at the Global Forum for Nicotine (GFN) in Warsaw recently, shedding light on the tobacco industry and mainstream media's ongoing attempts to suppress vaping.
Summed up by a French cast and award winning director Dominique Aubert, 'The Vaping [Not Dead]' tells the story of a group of vapers whose lifestyle choice is under threat from a psychopathic, baseball bat-wielding manifestation of those who do not like or understand e-cigarettes.
Aubert is also president of "The Vaping Channel" which is a program dedicated to promoting e-cigarettes and vaping devices.
Led by a cast and crew of impassioned vapers, this award-winning film lasts just 10 minutes but breaks new ground for vaping activism in Europe as the first of its kind.
The third edition of the GFN's film festival named Aubert as "Best Director." It's thought he took inspiration from famous US series, "The Walking Dead."
Watch the film below and check out The Vaping Not Dead Facebook page for more information.

Research has shown that the thinking and feelings of males is different than that of the female in some ways due to hormones present early on in fetal development.
Because of this it is well established that the way males and females think about and approach their gender and sexuality is different. Whatever those differences may be one thing they both have in common is knowing when something feels good and when something feels bad.
When healing occurs things feel good, or … better. This would seem the obvious reason why people who feel bad or ill want to heal. Pleasure is something that feels good. The better it feels the more pleasure. Feeling good and pleasure are healers. It is hard to feel pleasure when one is all tensed up and stressed. The more relaxed a person is the more a person is able to feel and understand pleasure. Gentleness promotes feelings of relaxation and pleasure. Harshness causes tension and sometimes and on certain levels be assured it causes pain.
Relaxation and pleasure is an emotional state which may vary depending upon the brain waves associated with consciousness. Deep relaxation changes brain waves from the Beta to Alpha and Theta, which is from consciousness to deeper and deeper levels of semi-consciousness until one falls asleep. Some refer to that moment in semi-consciousness just before conking out as being the "twilight". There was a famous television program based on this theme by Rod Serling called "The Twilight Zone". (You will find episodes on Youtube.) When relaxation and pleasure reach a certain level where the brain waves begin to change toward the Theta level, as we begin to enter semi-consciousness we become more open to suggestion … we change our state of mind. When we enter a more suggestible state there is less consciousness of right or wrong because in that state we are more conscious of our physical body and can more easily access feelings associated with it. In fact, being in this more relaxed state of semi-consciousness we may be quite aware without inhibition. It is hard to be in your body and inhibited at the same time. It is in this state that relaxation and uninhibited pleasure may greatly serve to heal negative feelings which we are so often aware of but can do so little on a conscious level to change or heal. So relaxation and pleasure, then, is a vehicle which can take a person closer to their objective of well-being and feeling good.
Having discussed how relaxation and pleasure can alter a person's state of mind let's talk about how sexual pleasure may be useful as a means of changing one's behavior.
Negative emotions associated with one's sexuality is often the reason why the coach is being sought after for assistance. It is possible to change those emotions, and believing that they may, in time, change to positive feelings is the hope that the student and the coach share. The process at each stage will incorporate relaxation and pleasure as a means of helping establish new ideas, sensations and feelings to reinforce positive pleasurable experience. In that state as greater and greater levels of connection with the unconscious mind's memories take place we may install positive experience and new memory to surround the negative ones. This gives us more options for positive feelings now associated with a particular act or experience.
Instead of only the negative feelings emerging as a reaction to some stimulus in that area, other feelings can be newly located in the memory bank. We often try to achieve this result by consciously wishing, thinking, and talking about our problems hoping that one day they will simply go away. But they never do. It's kind of like our computer. There is a desktop and a hard drive. The desktop is fairly variable and fluid and the hard drive is much less variable, static and permanent until we get in there with the right program and make certain changes. Once we do those changes remain.
So, we must bypass the conscious state which is our logical intelligence, or left brain, separated from the unconscious mind (more the right side of the brain) in order to enter that more or less hidden data base where our life experience and memories stored, basically in feelings and images. Some people refer to this as being in a trance state. No need to feel squeemish about this since we all enter a kind of trance state many time each day when we watch tv, drive a care, eat a great meal of naturally when making love.
Feeling a little apprehensive about doing is natural since it is the noble work of the conscious mind to protect the more vulnerable unconscious. It is believed that dreams are a way for the mind to work out certain stimuli we may have experienced during the day to more or less keep the emotional house clean. One common means of bypassing our conscious mind is through meditation, proven to be a valuable resource to assist in a person's well being. When we learn how to access the unconscious, no matter what method we may use, if we are able to deposit good feelings and positive thoughts and ideas next to certain actions and behaviors, they will remain afresh in our subconscious memory bank.
Learning how to change our state of mind is an effective and powerful means of increasing sexual pleasure and experiencing healing in that aspect of our live

By Jack Kintner
Oboist Joe Robinson, a key figure in the Whatcom County music scene and part-time resident of Blaine, is the author of "Long Winded, An Oboist's Incredible Journey to the New York Philharmonic," a wonderfully entertaining and informative memoir.
It's a fascinating, and often quite funny look at how this small town North Carolina native went from playing in his high school band to the top of the music world – nearly three decades as principal oboist with one of the best and most renowned orchestras in the world.
Asked what brought him to Whatcom County, he said it was to visit his long-time friend Michael Palmer, artistic director of the Bellingham Festival of Music. The two began their careers together with the Atlanta Symphony 52 years ago. Palmer had been pestering Robinson to visit for some time, "And I finally did in 1989," Robinson said. "It was love at first sight, it's like a little Shangri-La, a wonderfully scenic place and great golf, too."
Not long afterward, he and his wife Mary Kay bought a house here and began a nearly two-decade residence shared between Blaine and Robinson's native North Carolina.
Robinson's book spends almost no time at all detailing his time playing with what he calls the country's oldest and most prestigious orchestra, but rather how he got there. He devotes the book's last few pages to his "second chance" audition with conductor Zubin Mehta, who had previously passed over Robinson, finding his tone "too strong."
Robinson disagreed. So, in a show of tenacity that runs through the entire book, he wrote to the orchestra's former principal horn player and New York Philharmonic personnel manager Jimmy Chambers. Closing with "You will not be making a mistake by choosing [one of the other candidates], but you might by excluding me if tone is the issue."
Mehta's response was immediate and decisive: Chambers called Robinson to report that Mehta said, "If you believe in yourself that much, he will hear you again!" And like winning the lottery, as he once said, he'd done it! "What an unbelievable honor and opportunity to perform with the finest classical musicians in the world," Robinson wrote.
At the age of 36, he'd lost a few auditions and had begun to wonder why much younger colleagues were apparently passing him by.
Robinson closes the book with one more wry aside; he explains how, when he came home, pretending to be dejected again, his daughter jumped into his lap to greet him. He then hollered at Mary Kay, "Darling, how would you like to move to New York City?" In the kitchen "a pan lid crashed to the floor like a cymbal!"
So how does a high school sax player who's as interested in girls as he is in music, get to such heights? Not easily. An early piece of advice from his father had been "Son, this music business is like religion. Just don't go off the deep end."
His early years in North Carolina had their tragic moments. He had an older brother who was severely hearing impaired, and a first cousin who'd fallen victim to polio and spent 17 years in an iron lung. His parents, both trained as English teachers, persuaded him to make that his major as well in college, which led to his first real connection with the world of classical music.
While in Europe as a Fulbright scholar he met famed oboist Marcel Tabuteau, principal oboe for the Philadelphia Orchestra under famed conductor Leopold Stokowski. "[He] was the greatest player and teacher of the first half of the 20th century," Robinson said.
It turned out that Robinson was his last student. Robinson called him his "yoda" – the man who taught him just what an oboe in the right hands can do. Robinson described Tabuteau's tone as being like Crater Lake, "Infinitely deep but sparkling on top. Unbelievable."
Many players came to France hoping to become students of Tabateau but most were rejected. Robinson credits his English major background as the reason Tabuteau took him on. So for the first time his preparation in the humanities, that is, not being exclusively a music major, paid off.
Robinson talks about this experience as if it were discovering buried treasure. Tabuteau taught him that it's the note itself, rather than a succession of notes, that's the basis of good playing. "Like gemstones, they should be pure and free of blemish," Tabuteau said, "They all reflect light from the center, [they] may change color like a chameleon. And it is this color potential that enables the oboe to sound like a flute one moment and a french horn the next."
Robinson said there were two times in his career that his ability to write opened doors for him. The first was meeting and working with Tabuteau; the second was when he wrote his letter to Chambers, the key in getting a second and successful chance to audition for the New York Philharmonic.
I'd add a third: this wonderful, insightful and often very funny book of his. Public performance is essentially a process of self-disclosure, and Robinson leaves nothing out, showing his truly human side as well as those of others. Success is a combination of coincidence and the unusual ability to be well-prepared for the next step before it's obvious what that may be. And in his book Robinson shows you the inside of what a journey like this is all about and how he made it work.

Low-cost KiwiSaver provider Simplicity has launched two new index funds aimed at undercutting rivals.
It will charge a $30 administration fee and a 0.1 per cent management fee for investment in its New Zealand Share Index Fund and New Zealand Bond Index Fund.
The share fund will invest in the top 50 listed companies in the NZX50 index and the bond fund will invest in 30 New Zealand investmen grade bonds.
But investors will have to come up with a minimum of $10,000 to buy into the funds.
The non-KiwiSaver funds are set to rival those offered by NZX-owned Smartshares.
Smartshares charges around 0.5 per cent for its index funds but has a much lower entry point with investors needing $500 to start or $50 a month.
Its funds are also listed on the stock exchange.
Sam Stubs, chief executive of Simplicity, said the fees on its index funds were in line with developed markets overseas.
"Kiwis should have access to products at the same price as investors in big developed markets. Now they do," Stubbs said.
Index funds - those that track a particular group of shares or bonds- have been growing in popularity in recent years with big international players like Vanguard and Black Rock gaining in popularity.
Simpicity launched 18 months ago and has around $400 million invested with it.
Stubbs said that growth meant it now had economies of scale enabling it to expand its range of investment products.
"As a non-profit, we only charge what it costs, and that means management fees
much lower than our profit-making competitors," he said.
"Now we're managing over $400 million. Economies of scale are kicking in, and
we can pass those on to our members."

Air Conditioning 101
What if we could cool our homes without using electricity? Sounds pretty far fetched, right? Air conditioning, as most people know it, requires some form of electricity. Air conditioning technology, in very simplified terms, is a refrigeration cycle in which hot air is extracted and cool air is blown in. For the most part, this is how most cooling technology works. Without getting too technical, you need electrified coils to accomplish this process. Unless of course, you real old school and use muscle power to wave around a fan.
Enter Green Screen
Gina Ciancone and her team of collaborators at Harvard rethought our entire approach to air-conditioning. Gina, a Harvard design student, believes air-cooling can also be accomplished without electricity or muscle power. But with, plant power! Her "Green Screen" proposal was the winner of Harvard's The Mittal Institute Seed for Change Program.
Green Screen is a zero-electricity air-cooling panel made entirely of agricultural waste. The waste used for these panels would have otherwise been burned by farmers and further contributed to air pollution. Such intense air pollution also traps in heat within cities and leads to deadly heat waves. This "Green Screen" solution offers a remedy to air pollution and extreme heat. This entire concept relies on the principle that plant and agriculture waste can absorb heat and produce passive cooling via compression.
Green Screen uses circular design principles to create alternative uses for agricultural "waste". Circular design methods look beyond the current make-use-dispose business models we have grown accustom too. A circular design model aims to redefine growth by exploring new consumption methods. In this particular instance, the Green Screen proposal offers an opportunity to transform "waste" into a product used to cool those most at risk from extreme heat. Green Screen was developed through multiple phases of design thinking and data analysis of heat and pollution in New Delhi, India.
Gina Ciancone and her "Green Screen" collaborators received $40,000 USD to produce Green Screen prototypes designed for the slums of New Delhi, India via the Seeds for Change Program. The Mittal Institute's Seed for Change Program supports innovation and entrepreneurship in India and Pakistan through an annual competition. Through the Seed for Change Program, grants are awarded to interdisciplinary student projects that positively impact societal, economic, and environmental issues in India and Pakistan.
Green Screen will now enter a testing phase of sorts. This summer the Green Screen team will be working in India to implement a pilot product. Gina Ciancone and the team will also be testing the screen's cooling effectiveness at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Indicating Green Screen's potential space related use-cases.

Have you ever thought about the language of sex and gender? While it may seem easier and more succinct to think of people in terms of the bathrooms they use, it's a conversation that's much broader than 'this way for 'ladies' and that way for 'gents." It's also more than just being able to say you've watched all of Transparent.
In short, people don't fit effortlessly into two boxes: women, who reproduce; and men, who merely play a part in reproduction.
Someone who knows this well is professional athlete Kristen Worley, a trans woman and a champion cyclist. In addition to simply being a speedster on two wheels, she was also one of the first post-op athletes able to vie for a spot in the Olympics after a 2004 International Olympic Committee (IOC) decision that allowed post-op trans athletes to compete (as long as it was two years after surgery).
But her battle is not a one-woman crusade by any stretch of the imagination – a theme reflected by an upcoming episode of HBO Canada's six-part original doc series Sports on Fire. In "She Runs Like a Man" (January 30 at 9 p.m. on HBO Canada), Worley is featured alongside Caster Semenya, an Olympic athlete, silver medalist and one of the fastest people in the world. Following a gold medal win at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Semenya was forced to undergo gender testing, because there was speculation that the findings might unearth some kind of "rare condition" that may put her at an unfair advantage. That "rare condition" was, simply, being intersex.
The reality is a lot different from the popular assumption that trans and transitioned women are at a distinct advantage because they don't align with the sex assigned at birth. Popular thinking usually goes something like this: this person was born a man – and is now a woman – so she's getting the benefits of being a man physically but is now able to compete against women. The truth is, "my body goes like this," she says, gesturing a downward slope, which indicates how her body reacts to being unable to produce testosterone. "I have no gonads, so my brain says to produce testosterone, but it just doesn't occur. And then I atrophy."
It's not just her, either. Golfer Mianne Bagger has faced similar stresses, says Kristen. "She's trying to advance in her career, but she's consistently atrophying from a lack of hormones and her shots get shorter and shorter, so she can't make the next tour. It doesn't matter how much she trains and lifts."
"The impact on women that we're doing this to is lifelong. Sports mimics what's going on in society," Worley says with emphasis, discussing situations like Semenya's. "We need to be more educated and more open to the variations of human design."
If you go to a coaches meeting at Sports Canada with 250 people, it's mostly male and all white.
And yet that's the struggle. "If you go to a coaches meeting at Sports Canada with 250 people, it's mostly male and all white. Even when it's female, it is all white," Worley says of the people who decide how gender and sex are approached by official sports organizations. "You go into those meetings – I don't go, because of [this] – and the issue is that they're all white, government-paid and federally funded. So they won't overstep on their relationship with the IOC."
That's telling enough, but Worley's struggles exceed being a talented woman in a white-male-driven world. She tells me about a conversation she had with a high-ranking IOC official, one that's rife with intrigue: "I asked him one day, do you ever get outside of your office? I'd be happy to introduce you to key women," she recalls. "Would you like to hear how they've been impacted by IOC policies?"
"Kristen, that's just the way it is."
His response: "Oh no, Kristen, no."
She talks a lot about how people in power take social concepts they don't fully comprehend but then try to put science around it. She says it's a lot like "asking human beings to change their physical bodies to fit an ideology." It's akin to "trying to fit a square peg in a round hole."
When she brought up this issue with the same man from the IOC, she says he told her, "Kristen, that's just the way it is."
So, if that's the way it is, is there any hope that things will change? She tells me it really boils down to education and understanding, as so many divides do. You can learn more about Kristen's story and other proud women who are fighting to change gender-based testing in sports organizations on Sports on Fire, January 30 at 9 p.m. on HBO Canada.

- Bill Pay services: The Bill Pay services are for individuals who need assistance with their finances. This can include learning how to balance a checkbook, create a budget, organize financial documents, pay bills and manage debt. The service is short-term, lasting typically between one and three months. We can help individuals multiple times if their needs change.
Representative Payee services are provided by Washington County Money Management staff. Bill Pay services are provided by trained and certified volunteers. Both staff and volunteers pass annual background checks.
How do I sign up?

role she'd played in keeping herself where she was. Like many women, she'd always taken the just-work-hard approach, attending to what needed to be done that day, that week, or that month. She says, "I knew I wanted to produce, but I always figured that when the time was right, it would happen. That retreat made clear that my approach wasn't working. I needed a different plan."
As she considered how to take action, Serena realized her first task had to be letting people at the network know she was ready for a challenge. But the thought of doing so stirred up strong feelings that gave her a clue to the fears that had held her back. "Just the idea of telling my boss I wanted his support in becoming a producer basically filled me with dread. I was afraid he'd see me as disloyal for leaving him in the lurch. I was afraid he'd think I'd just been using my position with him as a stepping-stone. As if standing on the same stone for eleven years wasn't enough .
Some of Serena's resistance had to do with family. She knew her parents would never understand her wanting to move higher, not only because they idolized her boss but because they came from a culture in which anyone who managed to land a decent job hung on to it forever. "In Egypt, you were lucky to have any job, so you proved yourself worthy by being fanatically loyal. If you weren't, you were seen as arrogant and irresponsible to your family."
Once Serena understood that loyalty had been the chief factor in keeping her trapped, she was able to approach her boss about her desire to move ahead. He was immediately cooperative, and within months she was producing a series of documentaries in New York. "I was so worried he'd think I was disloyal," she reflects. "But most jobs are stepping-stones on the way to something else. And I've come to realize there's no shame in using where you are to position yourself for what you want next. Of course he understood that. How could he not? That's what he did, or he wouldn't have gotten to where he was.

Now that you have a basic
PC configuration decided, it is time to look at
additional components—items that add more oomph to
your PC! There are a lot of accessories available in the
market. Which ones you choose depend upon the kind of
work you do. Here's a list of most of the additional
accessories that are becoming quite popular in the
SCSI devices are very
common in niche areas like graphics and multimedia, as
well as on network servers. If your motherboard does not
have a built-in SCSI bus (thereby adding to its cost!),
you need a SCSI card. Some SCSI devices like scanners
come with a bundled SCSI card. Though some of these
devices are also available in parallel port
versions—like scanners, ZIP drives, etc–the
SCSI versions are often preferred due to their superior
performance. The sad part about SCSI is that there are
too many standards around. SCSI-I, SCSI-II, Fast SCSI,
Wide SCSI, Ultra SCSI, SCSI-III, and combinations of all
these may just help in confusing you. If you are planning
to get SCSI devices for your computer, go in for a SCSI
III card, as that is the latest one. SCSI cards from
Adaptec, such as the 7880 and 2940 UW are among the
popular ones, as they are very easy to configure, and
most of the operating systems support them.
This is an absolute must
when you have more than one computer in the same
premises. There are hundreds of network cards out there.
Out of these, the NE2000 compatible 10 Mbps ISA cards are
the cheapest. But these can be a pain to configure
because of the need to manually do the IRQ settings. That
is why we recommend going in for PCI cards, preferably a
10/100 Mbps one. They are slightly more expensive than
the ISA ones, but they were the most hassle free cards we
This area has seen a lot
of action over the recent past, and all of it is not just
restricted to hard disks and tape drives. A large range
of storage options and media is now available in the
market. Among the portable ones, most popular is the
Iomega Zip drive with compact disks of 100 MB. These are
parallel port or SCSI devices, with larger capacities,
robustness, portability. Ease of setup is their major
USP. Then there is the 120 MB SuperDisk from Imation that
is backwardly compatible with the floppy disk. Another
form of storage media gaining popularity is
Magneto-Optical drives, or MO drives. These are SCSI
devices that function as external hard drives, and are a
good desktop option. Their main advantage is that the
media, unlike magnetic tapes, are insensitive to magnetic
fields and are lot more robust. Common ones are from
Philips and Mitsubishi with capacities ranging from 650
MB to 2.6 GB.
A modem is a must in
today's connected world. Whether it is for your
home, office, or notebook, a good modem and access to the
Internet is fast becoming a prerequisite for effective
and productive computing. Do not buy anything slower than
33.6 kbps. 56 kbps modems are also available, but the
speed is not supported in this country. Otherwise, we
have seen these modems work well at 33.6 kbps speeds.
Good 33.6 kbps modems are today available from around Rs
4000 upwards.
Talk of pointing devices
and you generally think of mice. Today, you have a range
of options starting with mice and going on to track-pads,
joysticks, game-pads, and more. Even mice come with
assorted features. There are wireless mice that can be
used from as much as 20 feet away. Then there are mice
with special features to help in Web navigation. There
are also a large number of different trackballs
available. An inverted mouse, (a beakball for all
practical purposes) supposedly give you more pointing
control, and is used by CAD and image editing
A track-pad may be a
better option than a plain vanilla mouse. If you are into
graphics, particularly illustration in a big way, then
you will be well advised to invest in a Pen Tablet. And
if you are an avid gamer, then there is no way you are
going to be satisfied with a simple mouse. A good
joystick is the bare minimum. Joysticks have been around
for quite some time. They reduce wrist strain, keyboard
wear-out, and games are so much more fun with them.
Joysticks also have lots of different options like number
of buttons, sensitivity control, and some also have a
feature called tactile feedback. With this
feature, the joystick gives you a small vibration when
you get shot or are otherwise hurt in a game. The market
for gaming accessories is extremely competitive
internationally, but this market has not matured enough
in India yet. So, you may have to really look around a
bit if you are in the market for anything more
specialized than a joystick.
Computers are not meant
just for work and business or games. Today, your computer
is fast evolving into a one-stop entertainment console.
Speakers, sound cards, FM cards, TV tuner cards, DVD-ROM
drives, and MPEG cards are just some of the things that
you can add to your computer.
tuner cards
Till about one year ago,
TV-tuner cards were weren't very popular. For
starters, they cost a pretty penny, and quality of output
was nothing to write home about. But today, there is a
whole range of TV cards available at affordable prices.
The basic ones let you watch TV programs or listen to FM
radio while you work on your PC. The more advanced ones
have video capturing capabilities, and even let you
connect your PC to your television. While buying a
TV-tuner card, try to get one that lets you watch TV in a
window, thus allowing you to continue working (if you
aren't distracted too much). Some TV cards use the
entire screen for display, and you need to switch back
and forth to continue working. Most TV-tuner cards today
come with remote controls so that you can channel surf
with ease. These remote controls let you do everything
that software controls do, from controlling brightness
and contrast to fine tuning channels.
There are other options
available too for your system. These include add-ons like
an MPEG card. However, it does not make sense to go in
for a separate MPEG card when you can get one that
supports the latest MPEG-II standard with all DVD-ROM
So, go out, take your
pick, and lighten your pockets.

Burberry and Vivienne Westwood collab collection.
Burberry and Vivienne Westwood are collaborating on a limited-edition collection; you can't get any more quintessentially British than that!
Italian designer Riccardo Tisci, who became Burberry's Chief Creative Officer this March after 12 years as creative director at Givenchy, announced on Instagram the collaboration; what a celebration of English heritage!
The beloved British brand Burberry, best known for the iconic trench coats and its signature check pattern, is so much part of British culture that it has earned the Royal Warrants from Queen Elizabeth II and the Prince of Wales, both by the way, wear the classic trench coat.
Vivienne Westwood on the other hand, is the "Mother of Punk" and despite being an anarchic rebel, she received from Queen Elizabeth herself, the award OBE and later, the DBE, the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, for her life-long contribution to fashion.
By choosing Vivienne Westwood, the original punk queen, to make this first collaboration, Tisci sends the clear message that his Burberry will continue very British indeed. He said that "Vivienne Westwood was one of the first designers who made me dream to become a designer myself and when I first started at Burberry, I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to approach her to do something. She is a rebel, a punk and unrivalled in her unique representation of British style, which has inspired so many of us. I am so incredibly proud of what we will be creating together."
Vivienne Westwood is a well-known activist who is very involved in environmental and humanitarian causes, she supports charities such as Greenpeace and PETA and is always talking about waste in fashion; her motto, which we like very much, is: "Buy less, choose well, make it last." So it's only natural that her collab with Burberry should raise funds for a good cause, the Rainforest charity Cool Earth.
The limited-edition collection will feature reimagined iconic Westwood designs from her archives. Westwood's husband, design partner and creative director of his wife's brand, the Austrian designer Andreas Kronthaler, will work alongside Westwood and Tisci to create the collection that will be released in December, shortly after Tisci debuts his first Burberry collection during the LFW in September. Needless to say that we are eagerly awaiting both!

Rewritten with a review & new links, originally posted 12.29.2007...
One of the comments left on the original post:
Thanks man, I seem to remember this comp for some reason back in the
day. I always liked the old gangsta shit back then. Good lookin' out
Since I`ve been getting a lot of requests for a re~up on this somewhat rare compilation I figured today was the day to finally get around to doing so. I had originally posted this joint back in 2007 when I was just starting out with the blog, hard to believe that it has already been 7 years......WoW! Now that that has been realized let`s get to the lil` review of what is being shared with y`all today shall we? I first stumbled across this joint while lookin` thru one of my many boxes of cassettes trying to find an older mixtape that I had put together back in `99 (....LoL, yes an actual tape that you have to rewind). At first glance I just thought it was some GaNGSTa`D up mix that I had received from a friend a while back, but then I decided to take a closer look at the tracklist on the back. I noticed a couple familiar Spice 1 songs like the CLaSSiC "187 Proof" & "East Bay Gangster". With my curiosity spark`D I popped it in the ol` tape deck & hit play...
First off I definitely gotta say that this joint`s a trip, not only does it contain some early Spice 1 tracks, but it also includes some early The Coup songs, some interludes & skits as well as a song (& also a different version of the same song) that features some artists that I can`t quite identify. Alright now let`s get into it already!.....LoL, the compilation opens up with Spice 1`s "187 Proof", a song that most folks should recognize. Lyric~wise it`s exactly the same as the version that appears on his self titled debut album, but the beat`s slightly different & there`s a bit of an intro before the track starts with Spice takin` a few hits off a joint while a sample of someone saying "A Green Leafy Substance..." kicks in then is followed by an LL Cool J sample of him rappin` "Roll up a phat one & pass it around..." (I believe it`s from "Boomin` System") over & over until the song sparks off. It almost seems like maybe this was just the demo version that he had before he reworked it into the track that`s on his self titled album because it definitely has that demo type of vibe to it. It`s also not the entire song either, it`s cut a lil` short but it`s an interesting listen nonetheless especially if you`re a Spice 1 fan...
"Lights Start Flashing" is somewhat of a funky but trippy instrumental/ dub type of thing. Following that is an early mix of The Coup`s "Foul Play", the song itself later appeared on their debut album "Kill My Landlord" which dropped in 1993 on Wild Pitch. The version on this compilation however is apparently The Coup`s very first recorded appearance, just another reason that you should give this comp` a listen. "One Nation" is a posse cut that kind of reminds me of that "We`re All In The Same Game" joint, it`s got a similar type of message. Exactly who is on the song? I couldn`t tell you, sorry. If you happen to know, please school me!!!
"Oakland California" is just a short lil` interlude that`s under 30 seconds in length, following that is an early mix of Spice 1`s "East Bay Gangster". What`s DoPe about this version is that not only does it have a different beat & hook (it`s scratched Eazy-E samples on this version), but it also has different lyrics as well as a different third verse altogether when compared to the version on his debut album. It also has a short lil` intro where someone asks him if he`s still sellin` that Yayo & then proceeds to ask him where the dope is at...LoL, I think that I may just DiG this version more than the one that has that Reggae vibe to it. Maybe I just like how they used the bassline from the O`Jays` "Give The People What They Want", or maybe it`s the different hook & lyrics. I don`t know, but either way it`s DoPe!!!
"976-Spice" is an interlude that features Spice 1 of course & is quite similar to the 1-800 & 1-900 Spice interludes on his debut album, just a lot shorter in length. The Coup`s "Foul Play [Rmx]" follows, it`s decent but I think that I prefer the original version more. "2 B Reel" is a rare track by Spice 1 seeing as how it`s only available on this compilation & hasn`t been released on any of his other projects. Overall it`s not the greatest Spice 1 song that I have heard, it`s mainly the beat though because it just sounds a lil` too soft for a Spice 1 joint. Maybe they were aiming for some radio play with this one, who knows for sure? The Jazz Appella version of "One Nation" isn`t nearly as enjoyable of a listen compared to the original. I just find that the vocals don`t mesh too well with the beat, while the beat`s not too shabby it just doesn`t work with the rappers` flows...
The "211 At 711" skit is just that, folks robbin` a 711 store. The compilation closes with another rare Spice 1 song titled "Gangster Thang", just like "2 B Reel" this song`s only available on this compilation & hasn`t been released on any of his other projects. "Gangster Thang" has Spice 1 kickin` some of his trademark gangsta tales over a simplistic Ol` School soundin` beat. It`s definitely a song you should listen to, especially if you`re a Spice 1 fan. Now I just want to let it be known so folks don`t get it twisted. I didn`t rip this cassette, I just simply used the mp3`s that are out there already floating around on the web. I did however edit the files, making slight adjustments here & there. Mainly increasing the volume, especially on the interludes because they were pretty low. So there you have it a lil` run~down of this relatively unknown compilation, now check it out for ya`self...

O key of David and sceptre of Israel, what you open no one else can close again; what you close no one can open. O come to lead the captive from prison; free those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death
Australians will remember 2010 as the year St. Mary Mackillop (1842-1909) became their first canonised saint. Mary was an ordinary person going about her rather modest life when her eyes and heart fell upon members of society who lacked a foothold. Like Jesus, she stopped everything in her own regard to be available to others in theirs. She gathered around her a community of women known as the Sisters of St. Joseph who, in twos and threes, set out and settled among the struggling and the isolated.
Her joy was to see people growing and living full lives – healthy, educated and faith-filled. St. Mary MacKillop's life reveals how God invariably works through little ones.
In the Gospels, Mary of Nazareth, a little one from Israel's peasant class, introduces us to Jesus, who from the margins of society proclaimed God's reign - eating with outsiders, healing the sick and forgiving sinners. St. Luke tells us that peasant shepherds were the first to recognise Jesus. The world's powers largely missed him.
'The Holy Spirit will come upon you', the angel answered, 'and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God' ... I am the handmaid of the Lord,' said Mary, 'let what you have said be done to me'.-Luke:1:35-36, 38
Gracious God, you reveal yourself in the lives of little ones. May we know you and one another along life's way so that we may remain alert and waiting for the coming of your Son even among the least. We ask you this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
In Advent we commemorate- From 'Come, O Jesus' by James McCauley
That first great coming of the Lord
And, looking forward, celebrate
The day when all shall be restored
Come, O Jesus,
Come, O Lord,
Fulfiller of the Father's word
'Mary did you know?' written by Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene, sung by Clay Aiken,with visuals taken from Franco Zeffirelli's 'Jesus of Nazareth', 1977 (Lyrics below).
|Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?
|Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo
The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.
* The seven 'O Antiphons' (they each begin with 'O') are age-old songs that are part of the Catholic Church's liturgy for Evening Prayer. Each evening, for Advent's last eight days leading up to Christmas, one of the antiphons is sung. Each antiphon addresses Jesus with a unique title taken from the Prophet Isaiah.

"What's Up With Downtown Worcester?: Prospects for Revitalization"
For many years, Worcester's public officials, downtown business and property owners, workers who frequent downtown daily and residents who travel through occasionally have all talked about the need to restore the kind of vitality to downtown that existed in the 1950's. According to a number of the City's older residents, downtown in 1950 was a vital, bustling center of commercial and civic life with four department stores, five high schools, offices filled with doctors and dentists, and several movie theaters, among them the Poli Palace Theater (recently renovated into the Hanover Theater).DOWNLOAD ARTICLE
