- Anxiety of Influence
Anxiety of Influence
All artists seek their own creative identity or voice. The process often begins with emulation and imitation of the models already established. But the process can also involve rejection of that which has come before. This desire, this need to be different and new, this distancing from ones artistic forebears, is the anxiety of influence. On this sixth Meridian album, we have continued on our course through uncharted waters. In our quest for new sounds, we have added piano to the Ensemble for this disc, and have selected repertoire which romps through this new sonic spectrum. Works by Ensemble members, commissioned works, and pieces by some of our favorite composers comprise the music on this disc. We hope that the anxiety of influence, leading us away from the past, will push us ever forward. Meridian Arts Ensemble Frank Zappa (1940-1993) - Run Home Slow, The Little March, Little House I Used to Live In, The Black Page
One of the great geniuses of our time, Frank Zappa was widely recognized as a pop composer who wrote classical music on the side. Nothing could be further from the truth. Frank began writing "classical" chamber music at the age of 14, and didn't write his first "pop" tune till he was 21. His compositional roots clearly lie in chamber music. We know this from his early study of Varese, Webern, and Stravinsky. Our intention when performing his music is to present it as concert music, regardless of the style of a particular piece, be it ska, rock, or funk. Also, this music (like everything else we play) can be heard in any kind of venue, be it Philharmonic Hall, Ed's coffee shop, or JR's Bar and Grill in central Arkansas. One need only ask two questions: Is this piece worthy of adaptation and preparation? Will an adaptation to a new medium still truthfully communicate the intention of the composer? Run Home Slow was originally written in 1959. This music comes from a cowboy movie called Run Home Slow, starring Mercedes McCambridge. Little House I Used to Live In is taken from Zappas Fillmore East 1971 album. Black Page comes from the Make a Jazz Noise Here album, as performed by the 1988 Frank Zappa band. This version is referred to by the composer as the New Age version. Jon Nelson Claude Debussy (1862-1918)- Sarabande (1914, 1894), arr. John Sheppard
The name of Claude Achille Debussy (1862-1918) is forever linked to French Impressionism and Symbolism (although he preferred the latter, a literary term, rather than the former, an art term). A pianist by training and a student of the French Conservatory tradition, his influences included Wagner, Russian music, French composers, and Oriental Music (especially the Javanese Gamelan, an orchestra made up primarily of gongs and percussion, which he first saw at the Paris Exposition in 1889). The Sarabande, drawn from Pour le Piano (1894), bears a harmonic resemblance to a piece of the same name by his contemporary Satie, and illustrates Debussys tendencies towards fragmentary and motivic melodies, parallel structures, and 7th, 9th, and 11th chords. Debussys piano music emphasizes the lush, shimmering, mysterious qualities of that instrument. His use of extreme dynamics and of the blurring capability of the pedal creates music which encompasses the feelings of fragility and strength, opacity and clarity, stillness and motion. This arrangement, by John Sheppard, perfectly translate the beauty of the piano score into the realm of brass.
Josef Burgstaller Stanley Silverman (b. 1938) - Variations on a Theme of Kurt Weill (1977) Several years before writing this piece, I served as the musical director for Joseph Papps production of Brecht and Weills Threepenny Opera, directed by my collaborator Richard Foreman. Curiously enough, I had never really known the work in its original form until I did the research for this production. Indeed, when I was in high school, my girlfriends obsessive rendering of certain songs, coupled with Babby Darins version of Mack the Knife, gave me a rather incomplete picture of the whole score. The song I have chosen for the theme of this piece is called Lied von der Unzulanglichkeit Menschlichen Strebens, or, in the translation by Ralph Mannheim, Song of the Insufficiency of Human Endeavor. It is sung by Peachum, the king of the beggars. In recent years there has been a tendency to treat it as a light-hearted up-tempo third act show tune because of its seeming rhythmic and harmonic simplicity. However, tapes of early performances show that it was performed slower, and at times legato, with the emphasis on the verbal articulation like a learning song. At the time I wrote these Variations, I had been exploring the relationship between musical found-objects and my own variation technique. I am interested in almost blatantly recognizable models in order for the listener to be able to follow (or get lost in) the variations. Also, the in and out of tonal focus is very evident in these variations, which all deal with gestures from the Weill subject. Stanley Silverman
Daniel Grabois (b. 1964) - Zen Monkey (1995) Zen Monkey is my first piece for brass quintet, and is one of my earliest compositions. I was inspired to begin writing by the mere fact of having a band that would play any piece (within reason) I came up with. Zen Monkey unfolds in three sections. In the first section, I have tried to create a sense of repose and stasis. Two-beat and three-beat gestures alternate with small pockets of silence, which act as puctuation. The second section sets a very simple melody on top of an ever-quickening groove. I have tried to create a sense of the music hurdling forward toward its climax. The final section recapitulates the first, but the material here is much less spare, and is heavily ornamented, with only the pockets of silence remaining the same as before. The inspiration for this piece comes from the brilliant musicianship of my colleagues in the Meridian Arts Ensemble, and from the music of Arvo Part and of the rock band R.E.M. The title of the work is probably meaningless. Daniel Grabois
Traditional Afro/Cuban - Solitario Solitario is a traditional Afro/Cuban piece, representative of the 1940s style of Latin dance music made popular by Machito, Mario Bauza, and Tito Puente. Solely rooted in son clave, this musics emphasis is on rhythm, relying heavily on extensive percussion. This piece worked its way into the Meridian Arts Ensembles repertoire as a result of several group members experience playing in Orque de Chu Melendez, a traditional style Latin band based in East Harlem, New York City.
The MAE has added piano in its traditional role in this arrangement by Jon Nelson. Jon Nelson Stephen Barber (b. 1952) - Semahane (Whirling Wall) (1993) Naat, Mesnevi, Taksimi, Pesrev, Ayin-I-Serif I, Ayin-I-Serif II, Taksimi, Taksimi, Ayin-I-Serif III, Ayin-I-Serif IV, Homage to F.Z., Finale - Huuu,
Coda Semahane is inspired by the spiritual ceremonies of the Mevlevi sect of Sufism, known in the Western world as the whirling Dervishes. This ritual of whirling is an act of love and a drama of faith. It possesses a highly structured form within which the gentle turns become increasingly dynamic as the individual dervishes strive to achieve a state of trance. This piece features a truncated form of the ritual, which normally lasts forty minutes. Being an instrumental piece, Semahane does not include all of the verbal and musical elements. A few segments are omitted. The selections of the movements, however, represent the main body of the ayin-i-serif (blessed ceremony). The piece opens with the recitation of the Naat, a praise of Mevlana (Our Lord or Our Master). This is followed by an improvisation. The Mesnevi starts with the sad, heart-rending strains of the instruments expressing the mystics yearning to return to God the Beloved. Following the Mesnevi is the Taksimi, also an improvisational soloistic passage. The Pesrev (Prelude) is followed by the Ayin-i-Serif, the main body of the whirling ritual. The continuous whirling has four sections, each referred to as a Selam (meaning greetings, salutation, peace). After the Homage to F.Z. (F.Z. is Frank Zappa, whose premature death occurred during the writing of Semahane), we reach the Finale, in which the dervishes chant in unison the extended Huuu. This is said to epitomize all the names and attributes of God in mystical terms. The whirling ceremony is referred to as sema, which may have its roots in the ancient shamanistic semah dances of Central Asian Turks, but also is related to an Arabic word for sky or heaven. Some of the poems of Rumi, the towering figure of Sufism, refer to the semas celestial metaphor: Yours are the galaxies in the sky of the whirling. Semahane is dedicated to Frank Zappa and the Meridian Arts Ensemble. Stephen Barber
Raymond G. Stewart (b.1962) - Okay Chorale (1994) This chorale, presented here as a prelude, is the result of boredom with Bach. That is, the MAE had performed and recorded the same Bach Chorales for years until recently, when we began writing original material and publishing new Bach chorales to replace the old (see Meridian Arts Ensemble Editions 40 Bach Chorales arranged for brass quintet). After a recent concert, an MAE fan approached me to suggest a title for the work and although I think he had Wyatt Earp in mind, I accepted the title because, after all... its not a great chorale, just an okay chorale. Ryamond G. Stewart Raymond G. Stewart (b. 1962) - KOHS-Ska (1995) Ethnic music fascinates the Meridian Arts Ensemble. The recent additions of Turkish ceremonial and klezmer music are a case in point and are welcome to our growing repertoire in the ethnic category. When the idea of exploring the music of Jamaica came to me, I realized we had absolutely no experience performing Mento, Calypso, Ska, Reggae, Rock-Steady, or even Present-Day Reggae. Review of these historic styles (lyrics were often reflective of the political and socio-economic climates of the island nation) left me drawn to Ska, which emerged in its first wave of popularity during the late 1950's and peaked about ten years later. The Skatalites, a band still working today, were the original voice of the ska sound, identified by the choppy afterbeat rhythm. This afterbeat chop was labeled "ska" simply after the musical syllable the rhythm offered from the accompanying instruments, usually guitar or piano. My idea was to honor the masters, the Skatalites, in an arrangment of one of their tunes, but this idea soon evolved to create a new piece of music specifically for the MAE while maintaining the original style of the period. Raymond G. Stewart

aes: Please check out OPML. It can support nested feeds from remote sources.
pjf: You have my deepest condolences. I thank your mother for her research and documentation on the life and work of George Collingridge. I learned many new things from reading through the pages. I wish you steadfast strength as you move through this difficult time.
shlomif: "CS is more inclusive and also talks about writing modular code, computer language design, OS design, and everything else that has to do with writing software for a computer. (hence the name)."
Why on earth would you ever go to school for that?
Just go find an old gray-hair to hangout with for a while and they'll probably love teaching you that stuff. And the other comment someone made about Software Engineering was right on the mark. At my school they have "Computer Engineering" which is like a mix of EE and the kind of software design theory you might be talking about. Not Algorithms (they get that in EE) but just like the core parts of programming (asm, c, debuggers, compilers).
Personally, I've enjoyed being an Anthropology major and I'd recommend it to anybody.
ByteSplit: Hush...There's no need to be mean. Nobody forces you to come here and nobody forces you to read. I enjoy reading what MichaelCrawford writes; I tend to enjoy reading what most people write on these walls.
Advogato is specifically the place for the sometimes seemingly off-topic dialogue. The reality, however, is that what seems off-topic so rarely is.
I think I want to get started writing some Gnome apps. It's an excuse to sharpen my C skills beyond just example code I've written.
I've just never had to write a program in C for real use. Perl and other languages have always done what I needed but I know a foundation is missing and I want to have that.
mathieu: Have a bit too much Malthus in our coffee this morning? :) But along those lines...Rep. Waxman asks Defense Secretary Rumsfeld about evidence that Halliburton has profited from business with countries that sponsor terrorism. Now that is sickening (and illegal!).
Annoyance: I just realized most people don't see my posts on Advogato. What's the point of making them then? I think people should start posting at "3" or "5" or whatever is the middle point is and then move up or down based on what people think. I've certainly learned a lot from reading the diaries and the articles (to a lesser extent) and I appreciate this community. Perhaps this has been tried already and was changed to the current state for a reason -- if so, my apologies.
School: School is almost done for the year -- I'm in the middle of reading week which is like the most difficult time to study for me. It's tough because I have so much time and that makes it hard for me to sit down and work. I've always found that the more time I have, the less I get done. Regardless, I'm getting very excited for this Duke primate facility project which starts soon. On a totally unrelated note, I'm the only guy on the program aside from the professor leading it; lets hope I don't make a monkey out of myself. :)
PowerDNS: Despite not knowing c++, I wrote a patch to PowerDNS to support granular access for AXFRs. The patch should apply cleanly to -cvs current and it includes support for postgresql right now. Check the patch and if you know c++, let me know what you think. Special thanks to ahu for the help he provided along the way.
School: It looks like I'll be spending a few weeks at the start of summer working at the Duke Primate Facility with one of my professors. I'll have my computer but net access might be tough in the middle of an 80 acre enclosed 'forest.' Maybe I'll set up some nice WiFi access into the reserve...or maybe I'll just enjoy the company of other monkeys.
CryptoPy seems pretty interesting. A good way to parse algs and understand them, as the author notes, speed is not the first priority.
OpenRatings -- I don't think I understand why this was presented...The discussion of the social implications have been mildly interesting but as far as I can tell it's just a php project...
I'll be staying at a friends house near campus during CodeCon and was planning to take the BART over to SF each morning.
If someone is planning to drive over and wants to offer a ride that'd be great. (Or if someone is planning to BART over maybe we can coordinate since I hear it can be a pretty boring ride.) Send me an email if you want to plan something.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!

text: Just wondering if anyone has ever been to this show, and what they thought of it. It's the only big show on the West Coast, so I was thinking of maybe, possibly going this time around. What kind of SW stuff can be found there? Vintage or new toys? Sneak peeks of upcoming stuff? Other stuff? I'm not much into the gaming/roleplaying scene, or even comics for that matter--just the toys--but I've always heard positive talk about this show in terms of Star Wars content. I've been to their Website, but I want to hear from people that have actually experienced it first-hand. Thanks!

Drupalcon Szeged 2008
Drupalcon is the twice-yearly gathering of Drupalers to learn about, discuss and advance Drupal, and to network with other community members. Come to Szeged, Hungary for this event for August 27 to 30, 2008 and experience this thriving community in person yourself!
Acquia Presentations at Drupalcon Szeged
Acquia Introduction – How Acquia Is Working to Improve Your Drupal Experience, and Your Customer's too
Presenter: Jay
Acquia cofounders Dries Buytaert and Jay Batson will describe Acquia's vision, preview the upcoming launch of Acquia's distribution and subscription offerings, and discuss how the company functions as a member of the Drupal community.
Drupal in the Cloud
Presenter: Ethan Fremen
A "Cloud" offers a virtualized datacenter infrastructure that allows you to build your own network applications. In this session, we'll cover an approach to implementing Drupal in the cloud using the popular Amazon Web Services as the cloud service.
Drupal 6 menu system - architecture, do, don't and tricks
Presenters: Peter Wolanin and chx
The Drupal 6 menu system has a fundamentally different architecture from what was present in Drupal 5. This session is designed to highlight the key features of the new system, and give some code-level examples of how to use them well and what to avoid.
Page serving and rendering (XHTML/XML/JSON, etc.) - now and Drupal 7
Presenters: Peter Wolanin
This session will discuss how Drupal finds and renders pages. In other words, how a Drupal path (like node/4) is used to deliver a page to your screen. This will be a high level discussion, but with some reference to implementation details.
Drupal world domination: translating interface and content
Presenters: Gabor Hojtsy
There are numerous tools to help you translate the interface and content of your Drupal websites, and there are obviously (still) missing items in the implementation. This session will show off Drupal 6's capabilities and the latest developments with contributed modules, such as i18n module and l10n_client.
Website template porting to Drupal 6 - a crash course
Presenters: Gabor Hojtsy
Therefore this session is about picking a template (the Modern World template from Solucija) and converting it to a fully functional Drupal 6 theme with blocks, menus, a screenshot for the theme selector and all live from the ground up in 45 minutes, instructions included. Make sure to drink some coffee so you can grok every part of this quick flowing live tutorial!
Drupal Search: Where are we? Where are we going?
Presenters: Robert Douglass
Google has shown us that search matters. Drupal's core search has strengths as well as weaknesses. What are they and how are the weaknesses being addressed? What new search options have emerged, and how does one evaluate them?
Field API and Fields in Core
Presenters: Barry Jaspan
The session will introduce the Field API intended for Drupal core. The Field API supports "CCK fields in core" as a new central concept for organizing content as an eventual replacement for the Node API model.
Developer Experience: Because Coders Are People Too!
Presenters: Barry Jaspan
Well, programmers are people, too. When creating a software product like Drupal that is intended to be used by other developers, the UX includes the experience of those developers as they write code for the product.
Since developers face different kinds of issues than the end users of the product, it is useful to consider Development Experience (DX) distinctly from UX. DX might be defined as "the overall experience, satisfaction, and efficiency a software developer has when using a software development platform."
In this workshop, we'll brainstorm about ways that Drupal's Developer Experience can be improved.
Automatic Security Testing with Static and Dynamic Analysis
Presenters: Barry Jaspan
Most Drupal security vulnerabilities are discovered via manual code reviews or by accident. This session will introduce two automated approaches to detecting Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and SQL Injection (SQLi) security vulnerabilities and present progress to date in applying them to Drupal.
How to hold a Drupalcon
Presenters: Jay Batson and Kristof Van Tomme
In this BoF, Jay and Kristof will discuss their experiences producing the last several Drupalcon conferences (Boston, Szeged), which have been the biggest to date, and have required resources and organization at a "whole 'nother level." If you've any interest in working on one in the coming future, or even discussing what Drupalcon should be, come to this BOF.

Back in 2008, I went through and analyzed each of the proposals, so I figured I would do that again. And there's no better place to start than Proposal 1.
To start off, here is the actual ballot language:
Public Act 4 of 2011 would:
- Establish criteria to assess the financial condition of local government units, including school districts.
- Authorize Governor to appoint an emergency manager (EM) upon state finding of a financial emergency, and allow the EM to act in place of local government officials.
- Require EM to develop financial and operating plans, which may include modification or termination of contracts, reorganization of government, and determination of expenditures, services, and use of assets until the emergency is resolved.
- Alternatively, authorize state-appointed review team to enter into a local government approved consent decree.
- Should this law be approved?
Now, in 2008, I analyzed the whole text of the amendment, but since this is a referendum on an already-passed bill, I'm going to skip that, and go straight to my analysis. A copy of the full text can be found here.
Emergency managers are not new to the state. This is actually a bill that amends Public Act 72 of 1990.
There were two major criticisms of the original law:
- Emergency financial managers were put in when it was too late.
- Once they were put in, they could do too little.
So, the Legislature tried to remedy this. They added more triggers for when an emergency could be declared, and they gave the managers more powers.
Two of the powers the managers were given were especially controversial: the ability to remove elected officials from the municipality, and the ability to change or void collective bargaining agreements that the municipality had entered into.
Unions especially hated the latter provision, and they characterized it as a means of union busting. But ultimately, it was a necessary provision, because time and time again, in struggling school districts and municipalities, unions have refused to give concessions, even when keeping their current contracts means the municipality will go bankrupt (and then, ironically, they would not get paid at all). It was the stubbornness of the unions that made the provision necessary.
The second criticism was that it removed citizens democratic rights to elect their municipality leaders. Ultimately, this is not a Constitutional right guaranteed to the people of Michigan. The ability to hold municipal elections is not a Constitutional provision, and the state can take this privilege away if it so chooses.
My criticism was unlike these two and had to do with the expansion of when an "emergency" took place. It included a clause that essentially said that an emergency could be defined as when the state executive branch says it's occurring, and I viewed this as an overstep by the executive branch (although it did have weak limited checks and balances).
So that was my reason for initially thinking I would vote, "No". But as I thought about it more, I realized that my opposition was the minority opposition, and if it failed, it would fail because of provisions that I thought were good. And if the law failed, it probably wouldn't be introduced again. Ultimately, there is more good in the law than bad, and I believe that the Legislature can (and should) fix the law if it passes the referendum. The problems in the law should be fixed in the Legislature, not at the ballot box, and that is why I am supporting Proposal 1.

What is it about romantic movies that have us dragging our friends and loved ones to the theaters, renting them off Netflix, and wearing out the DVDs with repeat viewings? These tales of star-crossed lovers — or best friends whose affection grows into something deeper — give us hope that we can have it, too. Not the kidnappings, letters from the grave, or time travel (though those would be fun), but the enduring, can't-be-without-you love that powers each of the outlandish plots that we adore.
Just in time for Valentine's Day, here's a list of our picks for the Most Romantic Movies Of Our Time. For the most part, I tried to pick more recognizable romantic comedies and dramas from the '90s and '00s, but there are a few '80s stragglers. (I promise they're worth it.)
This post is sponsored by Sony's The Vow, in theaters February 10th. Watch the trailer here.

Our WR corps with Jennings (no guarantee on that, unfortunately), Hartline, Bess, Matthews, 2nd or 3rd round draft choice, 3rd or 4th round draft choice, and a wicked competition between who was in the bottom of our roster as of the end of 2012 season.
I really think this is good enough if we can improve the TE position too. You could also bring in a more affordable scat-back/poor-man's Darren Sproles type with Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas. I really like Thomas in 3rd downs though, as he's the best blocker and is good in space for screens or check-downs.
I do worry if Miami would have to spend more to pay their FAs. I mean, if they let their guys test the market, are those guys gonna take less from another team just because they're pissed at Miami for not locking them up earlier. This is worst-case scenario. Like, would Hartline demand 7 mil from Miami but then settle for 4 from another team just to spite the Dolphins? I understand the human nature logic of it though.
Getting back to WR, though. I do think if we can get Hartline for a reasonable figure and Jennings, plus what we've got on the roster and non-1st round pick, then we could really use the draft on other serious needs like DB, pass-rusher and MORE O-LINE.
I'm seein' some crazy stuff in these threads. Saying a 2nd (or lower) draft pick can't equal a 1st round draft pick is insane, especially at WR. TY. Hilton is already better than most of the WRS drafted in the 1st round last year. Unfortunately, he wasn't picked by Jeff the idiot boy. We got a waste-of-skin TE instead.
Also, people are WAY undervaluing Jennings in here. If Jennings didn't pass your eye test for a #1WR in those December 2012 Packer games then get yer freakin' eyes checked! That man is a baller-extraordinaire at the WR position. His hands rule, his body strength and control and general athleticism trump the field, and his speed is plenty good to get open on any kind of route. You get him the ball down the field with only one man between him and a TD, just start playing the Dolphin Theme song now... With all his injuries and such, I had my doubts too. Then I watched those Packer games and had enough "oooohh" moments to want him on the Dolphins ASAP.
Ted Ginn isn't an example of why you don't take a WR, he's an example of why you don't reach (and it was a hell of a reach) for a player and why you don't hire idiot talent evaluators. I don't remember reading a single thing saying that was a good pick, outside of a few of the super aqua posts on here right after. As for your initial point, I agree that it's certainly not WR or bust with that pick, but a couple of WRs certainly warrant consideration, unlike Ginn where he was drafted when Willis was the obvious choice.
Last call for alcohol.
Look what the bears did last year. knowing that Knox was gonna be out they drafted a WR adn traded and got Marshall. I see the Dolphins do a simillar thing.
Ryan Tannehill. Ah, what a relief. Life is good.
Would anybody be interested in Titus Young if the price was cheap? He had a good rookie year in 2011, but has clashed with the Lions and is likely going to be shipped out.
Greg Jennings
Keenan Allen
Brian Hartline
Davone Bess
Rishard Matthews
Get it done.
Would still have 4 picks in the 2nd and 3rd rounds to fill out whatever needs Miami has, Maybe 2 CBs, a DE, and an OL. Or 2 Cbs a DE and a TE. But I don't see why Miami can't Sign Jennings, Hartline and draft a WR in round 1.
we need a burner - Wallace is a better choice than Jennings - who is hurt quite a bit

Here is what I saw in the last 2 days:
WM in Germantown, Waldorf and Springfield had nothing.
WM in Clinton had a lot of the new Lego stuff - Republic Cruiser, Tusken Encounter, Super Battle Droid.
Kmart in Gaithersburg had 2 Jedi Starfighters of which I bought 1. Still deciding if I like it or not. It's just the ship with no bonus figure.
Ames in Alexandria (Rte 1) had nothing.
Ames on Edsall Road had 3 Slave 1's (29.99) and both the lightsabers (21.99)
Ames at Seven Corners had some of the AOTC figs at 6.99! but I left them due to the not-so-mint condition and the price. They had Jango, Obi-Wan (Coruscant), Anakin Peasant, 1 R2-D2 and a Kit Fisto. They also had a few Starfighters.
Somewhere I saw the Stratego, Life and the third game. I think it was at the Kmart.
Looks like Ames may be the place to check.

RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Sue late today joined the crowd assessing Samsung Electronics's (005930KS) Q2 report this morning, Seoul time, which offered revenue and operating profit consistent with a pre-announcement on July 5th, but net income that missed some analysts' estimates.
Like those other analysts, Sue sees prices coming down for Samsung and others. Unlike those other analysts, he thinks there will be diminishing profit returns from higher investment.
Sue, who follows wireless chip maker Qualcomm (QCOM), a supplier to both Samsung and Apple (AAPL), and rates its stock a Buy, thinks the quarter showed that while there's lots of money left to make in smartphones, it's costing incrementally more to do so:
Samsung Electronics reported revenues of KRW57.5 trillion (+9% QoQ) slightly above the guidance of KRW57 trillion with mobile revenues up +9% QoQ, but mobile operating profits of KRW6.3 trillion declined -3% QoQ. We believe the operating profit decline may be driven largely by the increased R&D and sales/marketing related expenses, a theme echoed by all the other major smartphone makers. Samsung continues to lead the global smartphone market and is benefiting from its broad portfolio of smartphones from the high-end to the entry level, it's just taking incrementally more in cost to push each unit.
The market faces the "the deflationary impact of technology with consumers unwilling to spend more for the higher iterative levels of innovation," which is causing the heightened expense to lure buyers to the pricier wares. That view echoes remarks yesterday by Citigroup, although Sue is not quite as pessimistic.
The emerging markets, such as China, where the highest growth is, increasingly is opting for "mid-tier" and "low-tier" inexpensive phones. That view is supported by data released last night by Strategy Analytics and IDC regarding Q2 smartphone sales. The data show a jump in sales by companies not known for premium models, such as ZTE (0763HK). IDC analyst Ramon Llamas remarked "Lower-priced smartphones continue to gain traction."
Samsung has in fact said, he writes, that its average selling price will decline "somewhat" this quarter, "given the transition to the increasing contribution of mid-tier smartphones."
The market's still "healthy," he concludes, with shipments perhaps rising 26% to 870 million. Samsung may see its sales rise faster than the market, at perhaps 34%, thanks to the forthcoming "Galaxy Note III" and other models.
However, "profits for the industry, in our view, are peaking."

The Health Impacts of Biking in Traffic
According to this Treehugger.com post, "you may be hurting your health by biking in urban traffic" but "you are not hurting it as badly as you could be" because "studies show you get the biggest hit of the nasties when you're inside a car".

- Description
The tropical lily pool at Garfield Park Conservatory is home to many unique aquatic plants. One of the most stunning of these is the Giant Water Platter or Victoria Water Lily (Victoria 'Longwood Hybrid'), who's leaves can grow to four feet in diameter. The delicate leaves on top belie a fierce underside made of thorns and ribs that give the leaves its structure. This structure, which served as the architectural inspiration for the Crystal Palace, can support the weight of a child.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks Steelheader. I've got one on order at the moment. If it doesn't come through I'll get back to you.
You still looking for speyline?
I'm thinking of selling my Rio WC 9/10/11 multitip line with heads. It's only been used maybe 3 times since I bought tinew (I just sold off my othe set on ebay that you asked about awhile ago). I'm loking at switching to a DT spey line, Ii rarely use sinktips for flyfishing anymore, and don't really need the multitips. I paid $135 for it. I'll sell it $100 firm. I bought it in October. Let me knnwo if you're interested.
|I'll keep my eyes open. I got my last 9/10/11 from a friend who bought a Spey-sized reel at LL Bean Outlet with intent to use it for schoolie bluefin tuna. I ran into him in the parking lot. He said he got a great deal but the line was all wrong and he was going to toss it. I said I'd give him $20 for it and he stripped it off the reel right there for me. I've been real happy with it on my 10150-4 I had been using a Kinney configuration on that rod for winter steelhead and that was perfect with the one drawback of stripping a lot of running line between casts. The Rio line requires a lot less of that and overall extends the amount of line being handled by the rod. The head casts just as far but is harder to manage once all that running line gets between you and the head. The biggest advantage of the head is the huge range of sinking tips it will cast for winter runs.
Wanted: 9/10 wt Spey line
I'm looking for a good condition used or demo spey line for a beginner to learn on. For my 9140-4
Preferences are Rio WC 9/10/11, Rio Mid-Spey 8/9 or 9/10,
or Wulff TT 9/10. Either with or without interchangeable tips is fine.

Wilson to give new perspectives on Jonathan Edwards, Feb. 10
Posted February 4, 2004; 02:50 p.m.
A lecture on "Jonathan Edwards in 2004: New Perspectives" will be presented by John Wilson, the Agate Brown and George Collord Professor of Religion Emeritus, at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 10, in the East Room of Murray-Dodge.
Wilson, who also served as dean of the Graduate School from 1994 to 2002, is a specialist in American religious history whose scholarly research has focused on religion and public life and religious thought. He is the editor of "The Works of Jonathan Edwards: A History of the Work of Redemption" (Yale University Press, 1989).
This year, scholars are observing the 300th anniversary of the birth of Edwards, an American theologian and philosopher who was Princeton's third president. A leader of the religious revival known as the Great Awakening, Edwards headed the institution for just 34 days, from Feb. 16 to March 22, 1758, before succumbing to a smallpox inoculation.
The lecture, sponsored by the Office of Religious Life , will be followed by conversation and refreshments.

Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima's Pro Wrestling Opponent Set
- Written by Dave Walsh
Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima is, as we all know, a very colorful fighter. Outside of his power and skill he comes to the ring in cosplaying costumes, much to the derision to some in the West and some at home, but it is hard to argue with his successes in the ring, especially over the past year. He announced earlier in the year his intention to step into the pro wrestling ring, namely of Zero-One MAX. Zero-One MAX for the uninitiated was the brain child of former New Japan Pro Wrestling owner, and one of the true god father's of MMA, Antonio Inoki's grand scheme to meld Mixed Martial Arts and Professioal Wrestling together, blurring the lines even further.
It started when it's chosen leader, Shin'ya Hashimoto was "shamed" into retirement by defeats from a MMA invasion of sorts by way of Olympic Judoka and MMA fighter Naoya Ogawa. At the time, due to Inoki and NJPW blurring the lines between wrestling and MMA, Hashimoto was "defending" his "sport" against MMA and was booked to lose, quickly. This pushed for the formation of a new promotion specifically for the two men and has since continued on after the death of Hashimoto.
Nagashima's opponent on 5/5/2011 will be none other than one of Hashimoto's former students and former Shooto fighter Kohei Sato. Sato started off in Shooto's amateur program, becoming a champion in their amateur ranks before moving up and having a few professional fights before entering professional wrestling.
All of this is a primer so you'll understand that Sato has a legitimate martial arts background and that his professional wrestling matches tend to look more like worked MMA bouts than anything else. His matches look more like submission grappling exhibitions than what you'll see on a standard WWE program. Video after the break, with Sato being the one in the kickpads.

By Sun Herald, Biloxi/Gulfport
Sen. Thad Cochran has joined a bipartisan effort to expand natural gas exports from the United States to its allies, a proposal that makes sense from a national security standpoint and one that could be a significant boost for the Coast economy.
Cochran is cosponsoring legislation that would require the Secretary of Energy to allow exports of natural gas, including liquefied natural gas, to NATO allies and Japan. Under current law, the energy secretary is required to approve exports only to countries that have free trade agreements with the United States that encompass trade in natural gas.
"It makes sense to make our natural gas resources available to support our allies and to strengthen U.S. national security. That is not automatically the case today," Cochran said. "The intent of this legislation also makes sense economically by expanding the market for our natural gas. It is my hope that it will create new opportunities for these energy interests in Mississippi."
Cochran noted that Mississippi has a regasification and LNG storage facility in Pascagoula. In addition, oil and gas exploration in Mississippi has picked up in recent years.
As noted in the editorial from the Economist printed below, facilities all along the Gulf of Mexico are idle due to the nation's restrictive policies.
This legislation could help put those investments to use, not only by expanding exports to NATO allies and Japan, but to other nations if the exports will promote the national security of the United States.

Hello There!
Jose was friendly and accommodating.
The location was very good and the view from the room of the Hammer.
It was also clean.
Many greetings Elli
Jose war freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Die Lage war sehr gut und die Aussicht vom Zimmer aus der Hammer.
Es war auch sauber.
Viele Grüße Elli
The apartment is really very close to the Sagrada! Great transport links, the bus goes around the corner, Metro 5 min. Away. Jose has organized everything wonderful, gave good advice. (The new Mercado definitely visit!) The view from the 12th floor is magnificent - overlooking the sea. The hotel leaves no wishes unfulfilled - of shared kitchen with compartment in the refrigerator until the cleanliness! ¡Muchas gracias y hasta luego!
Die Wohnung liegt wirklich ganz nahe bei der Sagrada! Tolle Verkehrsanbindung, der Bus fährt um die Ecke, Metro in 5 Min. erreichbar. Jose hat alles wunderbar organisiert, hat gute Tipps gegeben. (Den neuen Mercado unbedingt besuchen!) Die Sicht aus dem 12. Stock ist grandios - mit Blick aufs Meer. Die Unterkunft lässt keine Wünsche offen - von Küchenbenutzung mit Abteil im Kühlschrank bis zur Sauberkeit! ¡Muchas gracias y hasta luego!
Great apartment! Very good location!
We stayed at Jose's apartment in June 2014. It was absolutely nice. The room was clean and we had our own balcony with a stunning beach view. Jose gave us towels and he was open to answer all our question. We were free to use the kitchen and both bathrooms whenever.
The Sagrada Familia is just a few minutes away from the apartment and you can easily walk there in about 5 minutes.
He is super friendly and helps you out wherever he can.Tthe Check-In /-Out was very easy and uncomplicated!
We will definitely come back and we totally recommend that apartment!
Thank you Jose for making our stay unforgettable!
For your stay in Barcelona I relly recommand you José!!! With his warm welcome, lot of explanations how to reach him and what to do in Barcelona, it's a êrfect host!!! We had a great time in his city especially beceause in his flat everything is very clean, we have everything what we nedeed in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in our room (for two people far enough), so we sure felt like being at home!!
The room sure is big enough for two people. Be aware that there are also 2 other rooms rented out, but don't worry - the walls are pretty good isolated so that we didn't hear much happening in the flat.
The best thing that the location is at the right place, not really in the centrum but not far away from it!! Few minutes walk to the metro station, close to the beach (15 min walking), wtih supermarkets not far away AND with an awesome view over city, sea and the monument.
At the end I recommand you staying with Jose!!!
During our next visit of Barcelona I hope to stay with him again!!
great stay, the owner is helpful and pleasant, the house clean and efficient, if we can give some advice could use a table for eating more comfortable. Compilmenti Owner
ottimo soggiorno, il proprietario è disponibile e simpatico, la casa pulita ed efficente, se possiamo dare un consiglio farebbe comodo un tavolo per poter mangiare più comodi. Compilmenti al proprietario
The owner is very nice and really tried it as easy as possible to organize. The city location is very good as we can find. That before us described a comment that traffic noise was bothersome in a big city like Barcelona, we can not understand. It was an absolutely reasonable quiet noise. Eben, the basic perception in a big city. Toward Sagrada Familia and also to there typical café bars and bakeries with good and easy to do. Seen better times in a side street or on one of the frequent local at one of the corners is a good recommendation. We have really good hands with Jose and felt comfortable.
Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und echt bemüht es so unkompliziert wie möglich zu organisieren. Die Stadtlage ist sehr gut wie wir finden. Dass vor uns ein Kommentar beschrieb, dass in einer Großstadt wie Barcelona Verkehrslärm als störend empfunden wurde, können wir nicht nachvollziehen. Es war ein absolut vertretbarer ruhiger Geräuschpegel. Eben das Grundempfinden in einer Großstadt. In Richtung Sagrada Familia und auch gegenüber gibt es typische Café Bars und Bäckereien mit guten und einfachen Angeboten. Lieber mal in einer Seitenstrasse oder an einer der häufigen Lokale an einer der Ecken geschaut ist einer gute Empfehlung. Wir haben uns bei Jose echt gut aufgehoben und wohl gefühlt.
The stay at the very nice floor. Centrico.Jose a charm very, very careful. Very clean room and very nice view from the terrace and floor generally very welcoming and friendly. I definitely recommend every time I return to Barcelona
La estancia en el piso muy agradable. Muy centrico.Jose un encanto, muy atento. La habitacion muy limpia y las vistas desde la terraza muy bonitas y el piso en general muy acojedor y agradable. Lo recomiendo yo sin duda cada vez que vuelva a Barcelona
Jose luis has behaved really well. we resolved doubts we had about q q visit or organize xa know the city. The great room has great views and have been very comfortable.
Jose luis se ha portado super bien. nos ha resuelto dudas q teniamos sobre q visitar o como organizarnos xa conocer la ciudad. La hab genial tiene unas vistas estupendas y hemos estado muy comodos.

So who's a metalhead? I have always been and probably always will be. What are your favorite metal bands?
Some of my alltime favorties are:
-Iron Maiden (early stuff is great and a few of the later albums)
-Metallica (mostly from the pre-Load days)
-Megadeth (most of their stuff is great)
-Judas Priest (all of it is good, although the latest album is a step back)
-Black Sabbath (most is great)
-Testament (never heard the later stuff but overall a great band)
-Pantera (RIP Diamond Darrell)
-Prong (some is great, some not so great)
-Sepultura (early stuff is awesome)
Just recently started getting into Overkill. Good riffs and music. Singer is kinda annoying but the music is good.

What, No one shocked that I am for investigations against the Democrats that may have broken the law?
Personally I think that any investigation should focus on al of the K Street firms and their relationships to earmarks. That corruption runs deep and is very non-partisan.
Jeff Goodwin
I am all for investigations if it is thought you broke the law. It should not matter whether your a Democrat or Republican or more importantly if your a President, Vice President or your just a lowly Senator or Representative.
I agree, we could really clean things up in DC and start making them accountable for their actions.
I would also like to see an investigation of Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Franklin Raines since it is the home mortgage fiasco that really got the whole downward spiral started.
"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke

Oh well, we brits knew it was too good to last. Woolies were a quick-fix wonder this week, giving us collection 1 figures at high-street prices. I managed to get Ani, Obi and jango-ee, all at £5.99 ($9). Oh well, I'll just have to wait now. I go on holiday to Orlando next Tuesday so I can scour the US stores for all these bargains we're reading about before attending the big hit on the 23rd!!!
But, what prices are UK folk paying for figures from specialists for pre-23rd... You know, if they're being impatient.

Dire Flyers reacquire Simon Gagne
By Allan Muir
This is how dire the situation is in Philadelphia: Simon Gagne is regarded as a viable improvement over NHL players they're currently dressing.
Needing some help on the wings, the Flyers went the retreat-to-move-forward route on Tuesday, re-acquiring the once-useful winger from the Los Angeles Kings for a 2013 fourth-round draft pick that originally belonged to Phoenix.
Just to be clear on this (because I'm not sure Philly GM Paul Holmgren is), the Flyers did not acquire the 2008-09 Simon Gagne who scored 34 goals and 74 points in 79 games for them. They got a 32-year-old who hasn't played anything close to a complete season since then, who looked hopelessly slow after returning from injury to skate in the Stanley Cup Final, and who has spent six of the Kings' first 17 games in the press box because his work ethic didn't match coach Darryl Sutter's expectations.
That'll fire up the fans, right?
To be fair, it's a relatively low-risk move. It's not like fourth rounders ride a direct pipeline to the NHL. Maybe the Flyers catch lightning in a bottle, and pulling on the orange sweater Gagne wore so well for 10 seasons will up the amperage in his aging legs and dust off the hands that haven't scored in 36 games. But unless he can provide 18-22 minutes of solid work the blueline, where Philly really needs help, I'm not sure this is the trade the Flyers needed most right now. This couldn't have been a tough swap to make from the Kings' perspective. They clear what's left of Gagne's prorated $3.5 million hit from their cap, pick up another at-bat for the draft, and create space for guys like Dwight King and Dustin Penner to prove that they belong in the lineup night after night. Seems like no downside from L.A.'s perspective.

we have completed our first full day in Mexico. this place rules. it was a very busy day; we are up to our necks in press but it's surprisingly refreshing. tonight we did a signing at a record store in a mall. i've never been so stoked but scared for my life at the same time. people swarmed the van and were banging on it like they were trying to break through the windows and rip our teeth out of our heads. i don't need any more gaps in my teeth! one is just fine, thank you. the signing lasted about an hour and 15 minutes and once we were done we headed back down to the van in the parking garage. we all piled in, jeremy right behind me... when he reached behind our seat to grab his bag a girl popped up from behind the seat... NO JOKE! she was squealing and i could tell she was kinda embarrassed but honestly i was so shocked i just laughed. i laughed hard. luckily, i had my disposable camera with me. (can never have enough of those suckers!) i asked her to wait and take a photo with me before she succumbed to millions of orders for her to evacuate the van... once i get the photos developed, which probably won't be til we get back home, i'll post that photo for you all to see. haha i hope it turns out good. i hope my septum ring looks good enough to keep from pissing everyone off hahahah...
aaanyways!!! we are so excited to be here. tomorrow we're playing Los Premios... VMAs 2.0 haha. rehearsal went well today. the room is so much bigger than where we played for the VMAs back home. there's said to be something like 7,000 people there tomorrow night. weeeee! so for any of you that have MTV Tres, check it out tomorrow night. (i think we're sitting behind Metallica! OH MY SSSSTARS!) ok, i just got myself so pumped.
thanks to all the fans that came out to hang with us today at rehearsal and the signing. WE LOVE IT HERE!!!
see ya'll tomorrow :)

Mohamed Khamal and Mosab Amrani Put on FOTYC at It's Showtime 45
- Published in Kickboxing
Mosab Amrani and Mohamed Khamal went to war at It's Showtime - The Sands, It's Showtime's 45th show on December 18th. It was one of the most anticipated bouts of the evening and was for the "King of Amsterdam" crown. With all of the speculation and anticipation, it ended up being put in the main event slot for the It's Showtime broadcast, which was aired live on http://www.itsshowtimefights.com for around $10 USD. Basically, if you missed this show, make sure to catch the next one.
Mosab and Khamal put forth a battle that can easily lay claim to one of the greatest fights in combat sports all year, as both men poured everything into their three rounds with neither man giving an inch of being knocked down. The officials at ringside had no choice but to score the bout a draw and move on to an extension round.
The extension round was incredibly close, with both men standing toe-to-toe and both connecting with clean shots on each other. It was dead even until the last minute of the round where Khamal reached down deep and had Mosab on the ropes. This was enough to impress the judges and score him the big win, in what many might consider an upset with Mosab Amrani being a favorite going into the fight.

Poll Finds The World Is A Big Fan Of Canada
Prime Minister Stephen Harper recently accepted an award for being world statesman of the year and it seems the planet thinks he might have deserved it.
A new poll from Ipsos Global conducted for the Halifax International Security Forum has found the world believes Canada will have the most positive impact on global affairs in the coming decade of any of the major nations and organizations included in the survey.
Citizens of countries on every inhabited continent were surveyed about whether certain nations and organizations would have a positive or negative effect in the coming years. Fully 82 per cent of respondents thought Canada would have a strongly positive or somewhat positive impact, up 3 per cent since the last time the survey was conducted.
Defence Minister Peter MacKay opened the security summit for which the poll was commissioned in Halifax on Friday. Government, military, business and academic leaders from more than 50 counties are meeting to discuss global affairs.
They will undoubtedly be discussing the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas, which in the past week has seen rocket attacks on Israeli cities answered with airstrikes on Gaza.
Israel did not fare so well in the poll. See how it stacked up in the slideshow below.

outlawed wrote:Skimmed this thread and from a design standpoint I don't see people asking the right questions about why and when to have subforums instead of just 1 single forurm for a site. The purposes of of having subforums is to filter off conversation so one place isn't flooded. If a site has 100 users you don't make 15 different subforums just to categorize posts.
You need to look at the metrics of post activity. If there is not high traffic it's better to have one larger encompassing subforum so it actually has activity and people are aware of new posts. This also makes moderation easier.
I did gather some activity metrics, they're rough, but it gave me an idea of general activity in each sub/forum.
Kinda like with the editing program forums, there may still be some merit in keeping Footage Help and Compression, Encoding, and Converting separate. I can see the sense in just merging them both though.
Video Hardware is slow (always has been), but I think merging it with Footage Help & Compression, Encoding, and Converting would be a bit awkward. The first one is Hardware, the last two are software.

By Chris Kieffer and Sheena Barnett/NEMS Daily Journal
SALTILLO – Many Saltillo High School students wrote messages on note cards Monday afternoon in memory of two classmates who died in an early Sunday morning car accident.
Their notes will be made into wreaths that will be given to the families of Gage Fidram and Jesse Witt, both 17, who were killed in a one-vehicle accident on County Road 461 in Saltillo when the vehicle struck a tree.
Area pastors and youth ministers, counselors from throughout the Lee County School District and support therapists from Region III Mental Health were at the school Monday for grief therapy. Some students met in the school's parking lot on Sunday for impromptu prayer.
"It is a very somber mood," said Saltillo High School counselor Susan Dillard. "You could have heard a pin drop today."
Gage, a junior, was a wide receiver on the football team, and Jesse, a senior, was a competitive water skier. The two were close friends, and Dillard said Gage often stayed with Jesse and his family.
Jesse also attended Tupelo Schools through middle school.
"The were both great kids," Dillard said. "They always had smiles on their faces. They were well liked by the other students, and they lit up a room when they entered it. They loved life."
Lee County authorities, meanwhile, still are investigating accident.
"We sent off for some tests just to find out if there were any contributing factors that may have assisted in the reason for this accident. We should have results this week or next week," said Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson.
He said the tests would determine if anything like alcohol was involved, but that these tests are routine.
"It's a preliminary test we do any time there's a fatality," he said.
Dillard remembered how each teen would get involved in spirit activities during the school's homecoming week.
They dressed in camouflage shirts, cutoff bluejean shorts and boots during camouflage day, and Jesse once dressed in a cheerleader uniform.
"That tells you what kind of personalities they had, they were very outgoing," she said.

Attack of the Killer T's
These "Killer T's" are attacking a cancer cell, but cancer cells are not the only ones who should fear Killer T's
What Do You Mean My T Cells Have Been Drafted?
Before you were born, HIV and AIDS came to worldwide attention. This was the 1980s and a dark time for a lot of people who watched friends wither while researchers tried to explain what was going on. Every generation has its difficult issues to deal with. Since the 1980s, marvelous research has improved the prognosis for people infected with HIV. One of the more unexpected discoveries (at least to the general public) is that some people have natural resistance to this disease which was once seen as a sure death sentence. Researchers are hopeful that understanding these individuals' immune systems may lead to even greater medical advances.
- Immune Army Can Fight HIV from AMNH at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYzHGGgUEt8
Extension Investigation
Use the resources below to answer the following questions:
- What are some of the ways people become infected with HIV? How can people minimize the risk of infection? How does HIV infection physically affect most people?
- Does HIV affect everyone the same way? Why or why not?
- What do researchers mean when they call someone an "elite controller?" Why are they interested in such people?
- How do Killer T cells fight HIV-infected cells? What happens to the infected cells? What other cells get responses similar to HIV-infected cells?
- How common is natural resistance to HIV? Do you think this resistance would be affected by exposure to other diseases? Why or why not?
- One way researchers are looking to use information about natural resistance is to stimulate natural responses to create an environment more favorable for the actions of vaccines or other treatments. What do you think about this approach to treating disease? How do you think this would affect the amount of drugs needed to treat HIV infection?

"It is the stars,
The stars above us, govern our conditions."
Kent, King Lear, IV, iii
Why Hillary will be a great Secretary of State
She's a Scorpio. Scorpios are strategic. She's got a lot of patience when it comes to understanding underlying economic issues (Jupiter in Sagittarius in the second house). She'll be strong about keeping the focus of her new office on women's and children's issues (moon in Pisces in the fifth house), as well as on sovereign concerns. And she'll be quite prepared to deal with the dozens and dozens of macho despot tyrants she'll encounter — after all, she's been married for decades to her rambunctious Leo mate.
Stressful times for Hillary: Secretary Clinton's staff may want to jot down some dates in their Blackberries: February 7 through 10, April 13 through 16, June 1 through 5, and October 18 through 25. These four periods will be times when it might be best to just get out of Hillary's way. Those who know her may find her impatient and inconsistent on these 21 days. Though she has been, in the occasional interval, in lockstep with the Zeitgeist, as someone born with natal Mercury retrograde, Hillary has more typically spent years and years being misunderstood by the masses.
So, why should we be grateful to have a Leo back in the Oval Office? For one thing, Leo, a fixed fire sign, is the sign of kings and public relations. The boilerplate on the big cat is that those born under its sign are confident and charming, and don't hesitate to step up to lead. Generally, what you see is what you get with these people, and Leo leaders tend to have compelling personalities. Public acclaim doesn't confuse or annoy them — it's just part of the cost of doing business.
The showbiz lions and lionesses that immediately come to mind are Mick Jagger, Madonna, and Martha Stewart. You know, on a personal level, that they're probably narcissistic sociopaths of the highest order, but they get the job done, to their own satisfaction.
And, after eight years of Bush, a Cancer (astrologically, we mean), God knows we need the clarity. Cancer's symbol is the crab, and W. has showcased the absolutely rock-bottom worst 1 attributes of that sign, from the shifty affect, to the relentless defensive posture, to the ghastly and tragic loyalties that have dominated his administration. How long did it take Bush the Lesser to take Rummy out of the picture, anyway? Lord help us, that gratulating war criminal had been rolling around since the Ford administration. That's way too much loyalty.

Picture steam rising from a sewer grate on a rain-slicked street. The sound of footsteps come closer and closer behind you as you walk down a dark, downtown Kansas City alley. If this scenario entices you, then you just might enjoy Kansas City Noir, a new anthology of short stories that takes readers on a journey through Kansas City's seedy underbelly. The book's editor is Steve Paul from the Kansas City Star who writes in the introduction that this is a city that's home to its share of serial killers and moral turpitude. He sat down with Randy Mason to share that gritty side of our town.
The book includes short stories from some of the region's best authors including J. Malcolm Garcia, Grace Suh, Daniel Woodrell, Kevin Prufer, Matthew Eck, Philip Stephens, Catherine Browder, John Lutz, Nancy Pickard, Linda Rodriguez, Andrés Rodríguez, Mitch Brian, Nadia Pflaum, and Phong Nguyen.
Steve Paul and contributors Catherine Browder, Nancy Pickard, and Linda Rodriguez will be presenting readings from the book on Saturday, November 3 at 11 a.m. at Mysteryscape which is located at 7309 W. 80th St. in Overland Park.
