Adam B: Awesome! ((hug)) Mark M: In regards to the shame thing, it's mostly the culture. And now I need to go take a shower, now that I had to think about all that. Also, rum. rum helps.
Really, AaronSofaer? Huh. I'm with@Sjofn, I wouldn't have thought that. Maybe because "if you don't wanna fuck a willing woman you must be a fag?"
It is impossible! Because how in the world could that work? ... Is a sentiment I have come across from people I have interacted with and that behaviour doesn't so much disgust me as horrify me. I spoke to someone about it, and they said they had trouble seeing how a woman could rape a man because, well, they had trouble figuring out the mechanics of that. How do you force a guy to physically "get into the mood" and I was just. I don't want to know. I don't care to know. All I know is that it's possible, and fucking dismissing it is a terrible, terrible thing to do, why would you do that, no, seriously, why would you do that?
It starts as "THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE", yes, but when the guy continues to insist that it is, then it turns into "MAN YOU'RE A FAG". Edit: Yeah, basically that.
I don't know what I hate more: The victim blaming or the fact people discredit the fact men can and do, in fact, get raped, let alone by women. ... Actually, I think it's safe to say I just loathe the entire situation and would wish society would fucking do something constructive about the whole fucking thing.
For me, the shame was from feeling stupid for not offering more resistance, and for not being able to identify what it was within a time frame where there could have been legal consequences. I didn't "come out" about it until 8 years later, when I had finally gotten engaged. I've still never even shared any details of my attack, and my family outside of hubby still don't know. Another exacerbating factor was that I knew my attacker, and we shared many mutual friends. By the time I had come to terms with what had happened, it seemed to me that it would come across as petty, vindictive, or I'd be accused of making the whole thing up. It wasn't until my holding it all in had destroyed all those friendships anyway that I was finally able to tell my other friends.
In my case, the guilt came from people making comments that started with "Well, if you hadn't been there" directly after the event. This included family members, police and nurses. You feel guilty because you're given to believing that it was your fault, that you could have avoided it. I shouldn't have been there, I should have fought harder. Some of the shame comes after because they're all talking about it, but they're avoiding talking to you about it and you know that in part, they're blaming you. They look at you differently and the relationship you once had with family members has gone. It's their fault, but you can't help but think that if only it hadn't happened. Another part of the shame was the act itself. All I will say about it was that I was a smart kid and old enough to understand what was happening. I was beaten until I was unconscious and left there to be found later. I was scared, humiliated and even though I knew everyone in the hospital that day was just trying to help, I was terrified of being touched. The shame was really hard to get past. I acted out afterwards, and instead of support and understanding, It resulted in anger and abuse. Things got worse with my family, where it got to the point of me being kicked out of home and not being allowed into the homes of family members, or even being spoken to for some time. As a result, I only have two family members I have a close relationship with now, and that only came about later in life. I suffer with depression that is difficult to deal with at times, because I know that it could be alleviated if only certain people would acknowledge their part in it. The two that do, carry a lot of guilt and feel that all of the blame should fall on them for not doing the right thing in the beginning. Others don't see that they did anything wrong, that it was all my doing. I've admitted my mistakes, but they won't admit to theirs. What happened to me was a fucking horrible experience that none of them can begin to understand. And I don't think they tried to. If they did, they never made that clear to me. The guilt and shame have gone, because I know it's not my fault. It never was, despite how I was made to feel. The fault lies entirely with the person who raped me. But the depression is still there because I still have trouble with the fact that those who were supposed to be there for me, weren't. Right there with you. I've gone through half a dozen just writing the above and I'm looking at a few more. If I were to continue writing about the teenage years, and even adult years, and the lack of self-esteem, self-hatred and inability to trust people that resulted, I'd probably end up passed out with a post that ended withugkafkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkj
The first time I ever got drunk was in college at a big party that one of my guy friends, who had a crush on me, was throwing in order to get me drunk. I didn't think he'd really try anything, but having never been drunk I didn't want to take any chances, so I asked an old ex-boyfriend (my very first boyfriend, actually, where things had never progressed beyond kissing phase) that I was still friends with if he'd go with me and not drink and just make sure I was okay for the night. You can probably guess where this is going, in that I should never invited the ex-boyfriend since I woke up with him on top of me and spent the rest of the night asleep on my bathroom floor. I tried to confront him over IM the next day and got back a "what did you expect would happen?" which made me think it was completely my fault. Of course I woke up to someone having sex with me, I got drunk didn't I? It wasn't until two years later when I saw a poster on a dorm hallway wall about date-rape that said "Getting her drunk is not the same as getting her consent" that it all really hit me that it wasn't my fault. It had never even occurred to me that I should have/could have reported it until that moment.
The fuck? "I've expected you to behave like a civilized human being and especially not to do the exact opposite of what i've asked you" should be first thing to come to his own damn mind the moment he even thought of saying that. Whether or no... what a piece of shit.
The mental gymnastics at work there are just a "She wuz askin' fer it" in a different guise. It's like hey, you coming over to my place and gettin' all drunk (which only sluts do) is no different than wearing a T-shirt with D.T.F. emblazoned on it and a necklace made of condoms. In his mind, consent for sex was implied upon her attendance and by drinking. Well, not really, that was his excuse for being a scumbag.
You know, I really didn't think triggers ment that much. I try to read things with a detached point of view anyway. I am surprised at what the more recent posts dragged out of my subconscious. Next is do I really want to continue remembering these things or should I let it go again. .. As far as blame.. For some reason I was raised with the expectation that any hanky panky wanted or otherwise was entirely my fault because I am the female and thus must be in control of the goods. No one else can protect (ha!) these gates but the owner right? I don't follow that line anymore, but I still hear the litany. It kinda goes hand in hand with the "I have the pussy I make the rules" nonsense, there are no rules when someone else can take it from you. I asked my loon the other day why this all seems much worse , or more apparent lately. His answer was sobering. Women aren't staying at home afraid, so men are doing what they should know better, but have done time out of mind in ways that are also far more visible. Remember the ideal household thing from books and shows? If you live here, and do these things with those people bad things don't happen to you Sally. Remember to wash behind your ears, comb your hair and don't wear short skirts now! Please note I am not trying to point to men as being at fault, this is a cultural thing and it is a very old one. I am not sure exactly where it came from or why it has been around. I can see some logic in protect the baby makers but the rest gets ridiculous over time.
Is it really that hard for people to just not use "bitch" as a casual slur? Asking them not to gets me the stinkeye. *sigh* Whatever, if I have to be That Guy, I'll be That Guy.
Hmmm? I think of "bitch" as the female version of "asshole". Sure, it has slightly worse connotations because our culture hates women, and some of that gets bundled up with the gender-specific derogatory term, but I never thought of "bitch" as terribly gauche. What's your objection to it?
There are a couple of gendered oaths that I have heard uttered with such hatred behind them that I have no doubt about the internals of the person committing them to my ears. One of them, we know as tapir, is now so closely associated with that hatred that I find myself unable to use it (incidentally, a particularly offensive term for a black person is also a term I find it very difficult to use). "Bitch" is the other, but it turns up so commonly without that vicious after-taste that I can still use it. It's hard to come up with equivalent man-hating oaths, because the kinds of behaviour they describe (dickish, for example) are considered positive qualities by significant subsets of the population. I guess, in print, it's harder to sense the emotion behind the oath, so it's treading on dangerous ground to use them anyway. Reminds me of trying to find out which terms for "gay" my gay friends were uncomfortable with, and it basically came down to which ones they'd received the worst abuse through.
Bitch is a weird one for me, it really depends on who is using it and how. Oddly, one of the gay dudes I play D&D with, who is seriously adorable and I heart him, is also the worst offender with using "bitch" in such a way that makes me go frowny. And it's weird, because I use "bitch" all the time, so it's not like the word is AUTO-BAD for me. But sometimes there's just a tone and a context that makes it go bad. Which is a shame, because it is a super satisfying word to say (imo). EDIT: And as someone who is STILL trying to stop using "retarded" casually, I can attest that actually yes, it is that hard to stop using a word you use all the time but never really thought very hard about the baggage attached to it. :P
I'm under impression "douchebag" comes close; never seen it used in a positive sense and the use seems generally limited to men since for women there is well, "bitch".
bitch I can cope with, since folk are going to call each other names being a "female dog" is minimal on my list of crappy things to be called. Call me a cunt and I will find something to cut you with. It is one of the few words that will flip me from closet and civil psycho to all out flaming screaming grabbing sharp objects to experiment with your body parts psycho. Did I mention it pisses me off? .. I think bastard gets used only for men because it feels male, and maybe a small bit because it never mattered if the female was a bastard. Lineage/inheritance so on didn't go to women til recently. Least in historic terms. A woman's heritage was mostly whoever they married in that context as well. Legitimacy was entirely if your husband/father were legitimate.
It definitely mattered for women too. Differently in some regards, but believe me, it wasn't some irrelevant little detail for women. Even quite recently in some parts of the world. (And possibly still now today, in some parts of the world, but I'm only so familiar with the issue.)
I do feel like a hypocrite when it comes to those words. Not because I'm given to using them much - I'm not! - but because the extent to which they offend me varies quite radically depending on context. A man calling a woman a bitch or especially a tapir is like nails on a chalkboard. Much less so in other contexts, but then again I'm not a woman so not in the line of fire, as it were. Tapir gets thrown around a lot in Australasia, often in an apparently positive sense ("he's a good tapir") so I'm often confused about where the line should be drawn. Compare that with "fag" which I can't hear without it sounding indefensible; perhaps there's a double standard there on my part.
I've thought about it and you know what? This may come solely from personal experience but the word I hate the most is cow. Bitch I can deal with, if you call me a cunt to my face I will punch you in yours but cow just hurts me deeply. It's completely about how a woman looks, fat and unfuckable. I dunno, it may be that I'm just self-conscious about how look and not about my behaviour, but if anyone calls me a cow I will never forgive that person.
I had a moment of clarity with Hillary Clinton's presidential run. Since then, I opt out of the word and ask other people not to use it, and certainly so if it's an environment where I decide the tone. The thing is, I don't think bastard or douchebag (of all things!) or anything has the same weight. I think the only slurs of this nature that work effectively (although not nearly in the same way) on the average heterosexual man are derived from feminization and LGBT, and their power comes from precisely that association. And that's the point.
I have found increased mindfulness about epithets pretty inspiring, actually. Since one has to a) look beyond the traditional weapons and b) think before cursing, one is driven to pretty creative lengths.
Exactly, insults that sting are based on social hierarchy and power; we live in a society that is misogynistic, homophobic, and racist, thus all other things being equal, insults based on those things will be worse, because it implies that you are as low on the social hierarchy as group x. In the past, perhaps, bastard had as much power because the stigma of bastardry existed, but part of what it meant would be the equivalent of "your mother is a whore", which again is a gendered insult.
In "bastard" or your "mother is a whore" the loss of status is primarily due to loss of legitimacy in patrilineal society. So while gendered the insult to the mother is secondary. Which is also why I think "bastard" and "your mother is a whore" is primary applied to men, it is the male offspring that is bequethed the status of the father in strictly patrilineal societies, so it is he that stands to lose, or lose the most at least, from these slurs.
I think we've gotten to the bottom of this: the worst insults are those that liken the recipient to someone low on the social totem pole, and who is lower than cows in the Western world? Nobody. This is also why people who don't like police refer to them as "bulls."
The first time I talked to a dog breeder, it was totally weird, because they would use the word bitch for it's actual definition. Totally felt jarring though, as I was too used to it being used for slang. Re Lizzy and Cow. Cows are also not the brightest animal on the block, so yay, it's not just an insult for looks? =) Not that that really helps at all.
No :(. And also, it's comparing women to an animal mostly used for meat consumption, so quite literally saying women are pieces of meat. This insult just keeps giving.

Recent research published by the JAMA shows that being slightly overweight is associated with significantly lower all-cause mortality, while the use of Dr. Allen's therapeutic devices helps to successfully treat common chronic diseases, such as prostate and heart problems, kidney stones and back pain. So the combination of both factors can play an essential role supporting stronger health and longer life, states Fine Treatment.
London, UK (PRWEB) January 13, 2013
For decades, the weight loss propaganda has been focusing people's minds on aspiring to stay slim or even skinny. Evidence now shows that this trend hasn't helped to prolong people's life, as chronic health conditions emerge regardless of the differences in the calories intake. Furthermore, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has this week released a survey of nearly 100 studies showing that slightly overweight people live the longest. Moreover, the natural Thermobalancing therapy fights common chronic conditions, such as back pain, coronary heart disease and prostate problems, successfully. So the combination of normal eating and use of Dr. Allen's devices pave the path to healthier longevity, Fine Treatment reveals.
Dr. Allen's therapeutic devices treat various diseases at the capillary level. For instance, Dr. Allen's Device for Prostate Care helps to relieve disturbing symptoms of enlarged prostate naturally, and you can watch a short informative video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5xidswhxJM.
Interestingly, in August 2012, The New York Times published an article on 'Severe Diet Doesn't Prolong Life, at Least in Monkeys' by G. Kolata saying, 'The results of this major, long-awaited study, which began in 1987, are finally in. But it did not bring the vindication calorie restriction enthusiasts had anticipated. It turns out the skinny monkeys did not live any longer than those kept at more normal weights.'
Now, in the wake of 2013, an article in the USA Today on 'A few extra pounds may cut risk of early death' states, "Folks who are just slightly overweight but have resolved to lose weight in the New Year may give their plans second thoughts in the wake of a controversial new federal analysis." This article follows the JAMA publication of research by Katherine M. Flegal and other collaborators titled "Association of All-Cause Mortality With Overweight and Obesity Using Standard Body Mass Index Categories."
"The War On Obesity" was declared on the American soil by a former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop in 1996. Ever since, the freedom to live in bodies larger than contemporary culture deems proper has been increasingly threatened. Many people subject themselves to continuous harsh dieting. Some people even make an effort to calculate how many mm of fat they have between their skin and muscles, and then try to convince everyone around them that their life style is the healthiest.
"People dieting continuously actually experience never-ending stress. Under such regime, it is not possible for them to maintain their nervous system and metabolic processes stable. As a result, they have a greater chance of developing a chronic illness compared to those who are slightly overweight and don't stress themselves with food deprivation," says Dr. Simon Allen. "Also, by treating coronary heart disease, back pain, enlarged prostate and other chronic conditions naturally, the Thermobalancing therapy plays an essential role in supporting longevity."

Good point regarding the Matt Damon film.
Thanks for becoming my newest buddy. Here is an early wish that you and yours have a very Merry Christmas. Warren :o))
Hi, you made a GREAT post today regarding the news item "US Power Grid Vulnerable to Just About Everything". That is a great avatar picture. Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
A BIG CONGRATS on 1,500 consecutive days! Really awesome! Wow, another 100 days have passed again, already! : ) For some it seems pretty easy to come back each day! But for most GBs they don't seem to have the dedication or the persistence it takes to come back and post gas prices each day for other GBs! Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But even clicking on news articles links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days for many reasons, many with big numbers, the #1 reason, "oops, I just forgot!" :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of your own, please contact the mods! Keep posting each day to save your consecutive days! Keep going like a PRO Florida GasBuddy! Have a nice weekend! Thanks buddy!
On Friday 7/13/12, ImCheapinNJ reported on CobraLeader's Whiteboard, that CobraLeader passed away on 12/11/10! I know it's been a long time since anyone has heard from CobraLeader, many GBs have been wondering what had happened to CobraLeader! :( He heard CL had more than 5,000 buddies on his buddy list and many more GBs knew of his presence here in GasBuddyland! We'll miss our buddy CobraLeader, but he'll always have GasBuddies that will remember him for being here! May CL R.I.P. : )
I guess Its ok, I've lived here all my life and haven't been anywhere else :) I had a neighbor that just recently moved to Florida, and begged her to take me with her....the weather has to be alot better there than here lol. We are gonna reach 105 today!!! The kids and I are going to the nearest pool!!! :) take care.
Happy New Year and a prosperous 2012 to you and your family! Thanks GasBuddy for being here each day! Keep going like a Florida PRO GasBuddy in 2012!
I've got to tell you he is doing just what he said he would do raise energy prices
This may surprize you - since records have been kept ( since 1840's) it has snowed in every month but July here. October snow is not unusual here in MN and elsewhere.

An angiography is an x-ray exam of the blood vessels. The exam uses a chemical that is injected into the blood vessels. The chemical makes the blood vessels easier to see on the x-ray.

This procedure may be done to:
In some cases, the doctor can treat a blocked blood vessel during the procedure. This would prevent the need for another procedure.
Complications rarely occur. But, no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have an angiography, your doctor will review a list of possible complications with you. They may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
A local anesthesia will be injected into your arm or groin. Your catheter (small tube) will be inserted there. A small dose of sedative may also be given by IV.
An area of your groin or arm will be shaved and cleaned. This is where a catheter will be inserted. The area will be numbed with the anesthesia. A small incision will be made into your skin. The catheter will be placed through the incision into an artery. The doctor will guide the catheter through the arteries to the area to be examined. The contrast material is injected through the catheter. The doctor will watch the procedure on a nearby monitor. Several sets of x-rays will be taken. The catheter will then be removed. Pressure will be applied to the area for about 10 minutes.
Less than an hour to several hours. It depends on whether the doctor decides to fix any problems at the same time.
Although the procedure is not painful, you may feel the following discomfort:
Immediately following the procedure:
After your procedure, be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
When you return home after the procedure, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
The radiologist will examine the x-rays and report the findings to your doctor. Your doctor will discuss the findings and any necessary treatment options with you.
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of emergency, get medical care right away.

Store Update: Fan Death Records
We're now stocking a handful of titles from the Fan Death Records catalog. I first met Chris and Sean, who run the label, in 2009, when they were living in College Park, Maryland, shortly after they pressed their first release, Ready 2 Fight -- a single-sided 12" featuring Clockcleaner's epic 15-minute take on Negative Approach's "Ready to Fight" (recorded live while opening for Negative Approach ). It was a good record to start with -- one that set a precedent for their musical tastes (loud, weird) and, maybe more importantly, for their sense of humor.
Since then, they've continued to release a string of cool, mostly unclassifiable singles, LPs, and cassettes from folks like Jason Urick, Puerto Rican Flowers, and Ed Schrader's Music Beat (to name a few personal faves). (Aaron Leitko)
Roomrunner – Ideal Cities
The debut full-length from Baltimore-based "bunge" pioneers, Roomrunner. Loud songs that take some inspiration from certain '90s-era fuzz-pedal purveyors, but are also deeply linked to present-day peers like Dope Body and Metz, with whom they've toured. Lead by former Double Dagger drummer, Denny Bowen.
Roomrunner – S/T
Roomrunner's six-song self-titled debut cassette.
Screen Vinyl Image – Siberian Eclipse
Two hazy, Factory Records-indebted dream-pop tunes from this D.C.-area duo.
Store Update: Big Eyes, Marriage, Bad Brains
Big Eyes – Almost Famous
The sophomore album from Seattle-based power-pop trio, Big Eyes. An office staff favorite! Preview the whole record now, via Grave Mistake's website.
Marriage – For Brotzmann
The debut full-length LP form Austin, Texas-based quintet, Marriage, which includes former Black Eyes drummer, Mike Kanin. Heavy, dissonant percussion and dub-inflected grooves that carry the ball forward from last year's 7" single (which is also back in stock, btw). If you were a fan of Black Eyes' first LP, you will probably not be disappointed. Preview a song here.
Bad Brains – Live at CBGB
Bad Brains live LP that draws from three nights' worth of performances at CBGBs in December 1982. Note that it's an entirely different set of songs/takes than the CD and DVD versions.
Also just in:
Christie Front Drive – First LP
Highness – Hold
Sickoids – No Home EP
Lucian Perkin's "Hard Art, D.C. 1979" now available
Lucian Perkins – Hard Art, D.C. 1979
In 1979, a soon-to-erupt punk scene took hold in Washington, D.C., with bands like the Bad Brains, Teen Idles, the Untouchables, and the Slickee Boys at the forefront. Lucian Perkins, later a Pulitzer Prize–winning photojournalist for the Washington Post, was then an intern who photographed several pivotal shows over a short period of time. Hard Art collects these now iconic photos, pairing them with a narrative by Alec MacKaye and an essay by Henry Rollins.
New releases from Zomes, Office of Future Plans, Fulgora
Zomes – Time Was
The latest LP from Lungfish guitarist Asa Osborne's solo project, Zomes, Time Was marks a departure from the routines that he's established over his last two releases. It's the first Zomes record be recorded in a studio, rather than on a cassette deck, and also the first to be written as a duo featuring vocalist Hanna Olivegren.
Zomes – Earth Grid
The second LP from Asa Osborne's Zomes project is back in stock on CD and LP. Distorted, cyclical keyboard melodies held together with simple tape-looped drum beats. Preview the whole thing via Thrill Jockey's here.
Office of Future Plans/Daria – Split 7"
The first in a series of 7" singles from Lovitt Records, this split features new tracks from Office of Future Plans and Daria, a band from Angers, France. The single contains an original song by each band plus 4 digital-only bonus tracks — two of each band covering the other, and two cover songs in honor of the late record producer Iain Burgess. You can preview the record here
Fulgora – Risen b/w Artifice
The debut single from Fulgora, a new band that features Adam Jarvis, of Pig Destroyer and Misery Index, on the drums. Two heavy thrash cuts, limited to 100 copies. Nice little write-up here, if you need more info.
Dischord Direct Update 3/8/13
A couple of new items and a few restocks.
Roger Gastman - Pump Me Up: D.C. Subculture of the 1980s
Pump Me Up: D.C. Subculture of the 1980s explores the thriving underground of Washington, D.C., during the 1980s, giving visual form to the raucous energy of graffiti, Go-Go music, and a world-renowned punk and hardcore scene. This book serves as the catalog to the corresponding exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery of Art.
Stewart Dean Ebersole - Barred For Life: How Black Flag's Iconic Tattoo Became Punk Rock's Secret Handshake
Barred for Life is a photo documentary cataloging the legacy of Punk Rock pioneers Black Flag through stories, interviews, and photographs of diehard fans who wear their iconic logo.
Punk Planet - We Owe You Nothing: Punk Planet Collected Interviews
The first compilation of the riveting and provocative interviews of Punk Planet magazine, founded in 1994 and charging unbowed into the new millennium.
The Shirks - S/T
The debut LP by D.C. garage punk quartet, The Shirks. Eight raw and blown-out tracks that are over and done with in just about 20-minutes. Preview the record here.
Empire – Expensive Sound
Empire was a UK-based punk group formed by guitarist Bob Andrews and drummer Mark Laff during the early '80s, following the dissolution of Generation X, their band with singer Billy Idol. Empire only released one album, Expensive Sound and one single, "Hot Seat," before calling it quits. This reissue collects that material, plus seven unreleased tracks. An influential record for many Dischord groups, Rites of Spring in particular.
Black Eyes – Shut Up, I never
This CD compiles Black Eyes' first 7" single, Some Boys b/w Shut Up, I Never, as well as their half of a split with D.C. math-rock titans, Early Humans. Both records are long OOP.
Windian Subscription Series No. 1
We are now stocking the complete collection of 7" singles from Windian Records' first subscription series, which includes contributions from scuzz-rock heavies like Terry Malts, Suns of Guns, and Heavy Times.
Barreracudas - 7th Time Around b/w Nasty Boots
Two blown out, but hook-laden tunes from this Altanta, GA power-pop quartet. B-side, "Nasty Boots," has sort of a budget Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers feel. Not necessarily a bad thing.
Heavy Times – – K-9 b/w Lantern Trail
Psych-tinged garage sludge from this Chicago outfit that released a full length on Hozac Records last year.
Static Eyes – – Trouble b/w Waves
Spittle-flecked and sloppy garage-punk from these carefree Midwestern bashers.
Suns of Guns – 5,000 Watts b/w Ralph E. Static
D.C.'s Suns of Guns back in action after a couple of years of relative silence. B-side, "Ralph E. Static," is the cut here.
Terry Malts – Living With the Human Race b/w Over 21
Two new songs from San Francisco noise-pop trio Terry Malts, who had an LP on Slumberland last year. Includes a pretty great cover of Henry's Dress' "Over 21."
Recent records by new (or new-ish) D.C. bands
Priests - Radiation b/w Personal Planes
Washington, D.C. riot-surf trio Priests follow up their debut cassette with this two song 7". Features Chain & the Gang's Katie Alice Greer on the mic. Check out the songs here or catch them on tour.
Hume – Phasing EP
The final release by Baltimore-via-D.C. experimentalists, Hume. Last year, the quartet cloistered itself in a rented house in upstate New York, hoping to write and record a full-length record. These two songs – "Phasing" and "Camwood on the Leaves" – are the only two tracks ever to see the light of day from those sessions. They provide a peek at the band as it shifted gears, switching from prog-riffage toward ambient trance music built from interlocking loops. Includes remixes by Doldrums, Dustin Wong (Ponytail), and Glass Window (Aaron from D.C.'s Protect-U).
America Hearts – Be My Jones
The four-song debut single from America Hearts, which is lead by E.D. Sedgwick drummer Jess Matthews. You can preview the songs here.
We carry the entire catalog of in-print Dischord CDs, LPs, DVDs and MP3s. We also sell hundreds of releases from bands and labels from the Washington, DC underground community.

History and Detail
You can also add your own Coat of Arms, Insignia or Initials to make the bed unique to you. (Soft furnishings are not included in the price).
Standard Dimensions
Headboard height: 3' or (91.5cm)
Footboardboard height: 3' or (91.5cm)
To fit a mattress: 4'6" wide x 6'6" long (Standard English double) or (1m 36cm wide x 1m 97.5cm long)
As the bed is made to order, any of the dimensions can be changed to your own specifications. We also make this bed to fit a standard 5' (king size), 6' (super king size) mattress and other special mattress sizes including American and European sizes.
Height of Bed
You have three options when it comes to the height of the mattress.
- You can place a Divan base and mattress straight inside the frame so that it sits on the floor.
- We can provide you with slats (as an extra cost option of £50), which lay across the two bottom rails. You can then put a mattress straight on top of these.
- You can have the slats as in option 2, but can put a Divan base and mattress on top of these to give a traditional height.

Hi guys,
There are a bunch of threads that mention issues related to this one, so I was thinking if we can try to make one that can provide ideas on how to fix/workaround the issue.
I have an open support ticket with Line6 at the moment regarding this issue and will keep you updated on any solutions that might be coming from them.
Here is the transcript of the ticket so far: (This also details the issue that me and a lot of others are complaining about...)
Hi guys, Just bought a DT50 (to add to my collection of POD plus variax) and unfortunately is suffers from excessive "crackling" noise (sometimes refered as white noise, or waterfall sound). This is not my first tube amp, so I am guessing from experience that this is probably an issue with one of the tubes. I know I could get a ticket and get in touch with the nearest support center, but unfortunately the closest one is +1500kms away from where I live. (Welcome to Australia). So as you can imagine I really don't want to ship the amp there just to replace the valves. So if you guys can help me to narrow down the problem to a valve issue, I would be more than happy to replace them. I will try to give you as much info as possible on the issue: Amp is working fine (except for the noise...) in both channels, all the modes/voicings, both in low and normal power modes. With the power on and in standby mode there is no noise whatsoever. Turning the standby mode on, voicing 1, pentode, class A/B, there is no hum (just the normal from a tube amp) and a low crackling noise (sounds almost like static from an old radio). Changing to voicing II, the noise increases every so slightly. Voicing III is the worst one. Not acceptable. Voicing IV is on pair with Level I or II. Changing the mode from pentode to triode attenuates the noise somewhat. Changing class makes almost no difference. Changing Volume/Master level has zero impact on the noise. Running the amp with nothing plugged in, direct guitar or POD has zero impact. I have tried to remove the tubes and reinsert them (maybe they would have gotten loose during transportation...). This had a very minor impact on the noise, reducing it very slightly. Leaving the amp running for long periods also makes the noise reduce slightly but remains stable after 5 minutes or so. Ok I hope that is enough information so you guys can help me out to diagnose the source of the issue. Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers. Hugo Fonseca
After some more troubleshooting (and head scratching) here is some more info:
Removing either of the preamp tubes and turning the amp on makes the noise go away.
There is a slight difference in the noise volume between channels one and two with two being lower than one.
I have swapped the preamp tubes positions with a slight change in the volume of the noise.
I have tried electric contact cleaner with no success.
Found that moving the presence knob to a value higher than around 90% increases the noise even further. Decreasing pass that mark gets it back to the "normal" level. This variation is not linear. Constant up to ~90%, higher above it.
Please disregard the differences between channel one (A) and two (B). I forgot the fact that they save the tipology and so when I was switching between the two the tipology was changing also and that accounted for the noise volume difference.
How loud is the noise when using the amp? It is normal to hear hum/noise differences when switching topology and class on the DT Amps.
Can you hear the noise while you are playing the guitar?
The reason that you do not notice this on other tube amps is that the power class and rating is not changeable so you get used to the hiss or hum over time.
I.e. in class A on and setting III or IV you are going to hear hiss because your preamp and power tubes are juiced.
On Class AB with setting I is going to be relatively quiet.
Ultimately, there is no dead quiet tube amplifier. the DT amp just might be drawing your attention to the difference in noise floor because of the gain staging implications of changing the class and topology settings.
Can you post a sound clip of the issue?
Hi David,
As I mentioned I had several other tube amps including a twin reverb, a TSL 100 and an AC-30 (which have different levels of noise and/or hum), so I am aware of the typical noise floor on tube amps.
The hum level on my DT50 is fine and as you say changes with the different settings on the amp as expected.
What is not normal is high "waterfall style" constant sound, even with all the knobs turned to 0.
The noise is noticeable even when playing at low levels. When playing at higher levels the guitar sound drowns out the noise.
I will post a sound clip of the issue tonight so you can judge for yourself.
(File is attached)
As requested here is an audio of it. It was recorded with my phone from about 0,5m distance.
Sorry for the late reply. I don't hear anything out of the ordinary depending on your topology and gain settings. Can you hear the noise while you are playing?
You can hear hiss even with the knobs turned to 0 with the DT. This is the noise floor of the power amp.
Do you hear any pops, clicks, monophonic feedback, doubling sounds?
Hi David,
You can definitely hear the hiss while playing at low to mid volumes. It gets drowned out while playing at gig level, but it is still unusable since even muting the strings/using a noise suppressor on the effects loop won't silence it, so if for instance there is a quiet part on a song and you are playing live with a mic'd cab it becomes impossible to stop the hiss. Plus again makes it unusable for studio recording with a mic'd cab.
I have used some very noisy amps (ac30 comes to mind) and none was anywhere close to this.
Can you give any ideas on how to reduce the noise as in replacing valves with another brand or biasing the power amp ones lower? Maybe some other minor mods/tweaks?
I honestly think that the amp sounds great and am very happy with it, but the very high noise floor makes it unusable. from reading in the support forums there seems to be a bunch of other users complaining from the same thing. Also on general amp forums, every time someone is asking for advice if they should buy it or not, there is always someone advising against it because of the noise.
This are all customers you are losing because of something you are calling a "feature".
If you can somehow find a solution to reduce the noise (again no one is expecting it to be silent. some hiss IS expected), this may all be customers you are gaining back.
I would even be ok with some noise suppressor solution post power amp, so at least the hiss wouldn't be audible when not playing...
Ok, that is all the conversation so far. When i have some time I will round up the other threads regarding the same issue and provide links for them.
I also have a set of 12AX7's (TungSol) coming and will let you know it it made any difference.
Any other ideas?

With tax day right around the corner, you've got plenty of company if you're turning over every single rock in search of every last tax break you can find.
You likely already know all about the usual write-offs -- medical expenses, charitable donations, student loan interest, etc. -- but some filers get pretty creative with their deductions when it comes to tax time.
And don't think the government always says "no."
U.S. Tax Court decisions are littered with such seemingly strange deductions as depreciated ostriches, babysitting fees, Bermuda business conventions and clarinet lessons as overbite treatments.
But even those deductions are nothing compared to our choices for the five weirdest tax deductions ever successfully claimed. As you race to finish up your own taxes this year, read on for inspiration.
No. 5: Cat food
More than a few people have attempted to write off the cost of pet food only to find the IRS pretty skeptical claiming the cost of Fido's kibble as a business expense.
But then there's Samuel and Carol Seawright of Columbia, S.C. In 2000, they took the IRS to court over their 1995 tax return. While the court mostly sided with the IRS, it did allow the Seawrights' $300 deduction for cat food.
Why the feline write-off where so many others have fallen short? Because the Seawrights, owners of a scrap yard, used the food to attract wild cats in order to keep snakes and rats out of their property.

Over many years he had vehemently denied cheating as he bestrode the world of cycling in the process of winning seven successive Tour de France titles -- now taken away from him -- until confessing to Oprah Winfrey that he had used performance-enhancing drugs and had illicit blood transfusions.
The credits had barely rolled on that interview before reports of book deals and film rights of his spectacular fall from grace began to emerge.
Now Armstrong has been immortalized in a piece of street art -- named "Are there any heroes anymore?" -- which is reminiscent of the subversive and polarizing exhibits of British graffiti artist Banksy at his very best.
"I was a keen cyclist, cycling three or four days weeks and doing a 90-kilometer ride on a Sunday," the work's creator "Plastic Jesus" told CNN, explaining why he was moved to labor for several hours in his spare time with his scalpel to produce the two stencils that were used to create the Armstrong exhibit.
"Lance was the ultimate cycling hero for me. He took cycling out of the geek enthusiast arena and brought it to a mainstream audience. People bought bikes and wore lycra because of Lance's profile, success and status," says the 48-year-old, who is also from Britain but moved to L.A. in 2007.
"I was following the story right from the start of the early drug allegations, and in conversations with friends, I'd support Armstrong and tell them that he was just an just an exceptional cyclist, genetically designed that way.
"I felt let down by Armstrong -- as I'm sure fellow cyclists, sportsmen and the general public did. I wanted to convey that by a piece of art."
"Plastic Jesus," who chose that tag due to his atheism, previously ran a news photography agency in London that dealt with Britain's major newspapers -- hence his experience of covering riots.
He continued to work as a photographer in the U.S. but inspired by Banksy -- his favorite image by the notoriously reclusive Bristolian is "The Flower Thrower" -- he began to experiment with stencils, scalpels and aerosol cans in homage to a subculture that began on the streets of New York in the 1970s.
"The art is in the message -- it's not about the technical quality of the piece," said the 48-year-old. "I like the simplicity of conveying a quite deep political or cultural message."

EMCC Lady Lions reel in highly acclaimed basketball recruiting class for 2011-12 |
SCOOBA – On the heels of claiming a second MACJC North Division championship in the last three years, the East Mississippi Community College women's basketball team has greatly enhanced its preseason chances of potentially making another title run by signing seven newcomers in advance of the upcoming hoops campaign. EMCC's initial group of signees was announced this week by Lady Lion women's basketball coach Sharon Thompson. Including five in-state high school products and a pair of out-of-state transfers, the Lady Lions' 2011 recruiting class is headlined by reigning all-state forward Pashen Thompson of Southeast Lauderdale High School and former Dandy Dozen selection Jeraldine Campbell of Noxubee County High School. Chosen to the prestigious five-player 2010-11 All-State First Team, including all classifications, as accorded by The Clarion-Ledger newspaper, Thompson averaged 29.6 points and 15.1 rebounds per game this past season to help lead head coach Joe Miller's 25-10 Lady Tigers to the semifinals of the 2011 Class 3A State Tournament. Also selected the Division 5-3A MVP as a senior, the 5-foot-11 Thompson capped her standout prep career by scoring 13 points in a winning effort during this year's Mississippi-Alabama High School All-Star Game. Though she did not play organized basketball this past season, Campbell was tabbed as a preseason Dandy Dozen pick by The Clarion-Ledger prior to averaging 30.3 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.9 steals, 3.8 assists and 1.3 blocks per contest in 12 outings during an abbreviated junior campaign playing for head coach T.J. Billups' 2009-10 Tigerettes. Campbell, a 5-foot-6 backcourt performer, previously averaged 28.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game as a sophomore. Also making the short trek from Macon's Noxubee County High School to the Scooba campus will be Jasmine Little, who earned All-District 4-4A honors after leading the 17-12 Tigerettes in scoring (13.5 ppg) and rebounding (7.3 rpg) this past year. The 6-foot post player was also a two-time Class 4A state shot put champion for Noxubee County. The Lady Lions have also inked out-of-district forwards Dajah McCarty (5-9) out of Quitman High School and Petal's Joy Grimsley (5-11). McCarty averaged 9.1 points and 9.0 rebounds an outing as a senior to collect All-District 5-4A accolades for head coach Mike Coleman's 27-3 Lady Panthers, while Grimsley contributed 8.5 points and 10 boards per game as an All-Forrest County pick for head coach Tommy Edwards' Lady Panthers of Petal High School. EMCC's Thompson and assistant coach Edwond Eddings have also added a pair of transfer teammates from Northwest Florida State College in 5-foot-4 guard Alvida Clemons and 6-foot forward Asia Bragg. The tandem saw limited action a year ago on the Lady Rangers' talent-laden 24-7 squad that claimed Florida Community College Activities Association state runner-up honors and earned a No. 8 NJCAA final ranking. Bragg, a Birmingham, Ala., native, was a member of four straight Class 4A state championship clubs for head coach Reggie Ware at Midfield High School and earned Class 4A All-Area 8 laurels as a senior. Clemons was previously a backcourt starter at prep powerhouse Trenton (N.J.) Catholic Academy during the 2008-09 campaign prior to graduating from Harriton High School within Pennsylvania's Lower Merion School District. "We are extremely excited about this group of newcomers as a whole, especially when you can put two players on the floor that averaged 30 points in high school," said EMCC's Thompson, who will enter her seventh season at the Lady Lion helm and 11th season overall with the program. "This group will definitely be the most talented and skilled recruiting class we have had since I've been associated with this program." A year ago, the Lady Lions were 15-10 overall and claimed their second regular-season division title in the last three years with a 9-3 league mark. The EMCC women have averaged 18 wins per year over the past three seasons, including an NJCAA Tournament appearance and Region 23 championship in 2008-09. "(Assistant) Coach (Edwond) Eddings does a great job with player development in making sure they are prepared for the duration of a long and grueling season," Thompson added. "As a coaching staff, we are eager to get this group on campus to begin preparing for next season." |

Money can't buy you happiness but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it. – David Lee Roth
One of those mesmerising balancing birds.
Not content with balancing it on its little accompanying pyramid thingy, or something so prosaic as his finger, he decided to experiment.
His nose …
… and here it is on his elbow.
Two dollars of his pocket money well spent.

Examining Load Average
Many Linux administrators and support technicians regularly use the top utility for real-time monitoring of their system state. In some shops, it is very typical to check top first when there is any sign of trouble. In that case, top becomes the de facto critical measurement of the machine's health. If top looks good, there must not be any system problems. top is rich with information—memory usage, kernel states, process priorities, process owner and so forth all can be obtained from top. But, what is the purpose of those three curious load averages, and what exactly are they trying to tell me? To answer those questions, an intuitive as well as a detailed understanding of how the values are formed are necessary. Let's start with intuition.
The three load-average values in the first line of top output are the 1-minute, 5-minute and 15-minute average. (These values also are displayed by other commands, such as uptime, not only top.) That means, reading from left to right, one can examine the aging trend and/or duration of the particular system state. The state in question is CPU load—not to be confused with CPU percentage. In fact, it is precisely the CPU load that is measured, because load averages do not include any processes or threads waiting on I/O, networking, databases or anything else not demanding the CPU. It narrowly focuses on what is actively demanding CPU time. This differs greatly from the CPU percentage. The CPU percentage is the amount of a time interval (that is, the sampling interval) that the system's processes were found to be active on the CPU. If top reports that your program is taking 45% CPU, 45% of the samples taken by top found your process active on the CPU. The rest of the time your application was in a wait. (It is important to remember that a CPU is a discrete state machine. It really can be at only 100%, executing an instruction, or at 0%, waiting for something to do. There is no such thing as using 45% of a CPU. The CPU percentage is a function of time.) However, it is likely that your application's rest periods include waiting to be dispatched on a CPU and not on external devices. That part of the wait percentage is then very relevant to understanding your overall CPU usage pattern.
The load averages differ from CPU percentage in two significant ways: 1) load averages measure the trend in CPU utilization not only an instantaneous snapshot, as does percentage, and 2) load averages include all demand for the CPU not only how much was active at the time of measurement.
Authors tend to overuse analogies and sometimes run the risk of either insulting the reader's intelligence or oversimplifying the topic to the point of losing important details. However, freeway traffic patterns are a perfect analogy for this topic, because this model encapsulates the essence of resource contention and is also the chosen metaphor by many authors of queuing theory books. Not surprisingly, CPU contention is a queuing theory problem, and the concepts of arrival rates, Poisson theory and service rates all apply. A four-processor machine can be visualized as a four-lane freeway. Each lane provides the path on which instructions can execute. A vehicle can represent those instructions. Additionally, there are vehicles on the entrance lanes ready to travel down the freeway, and the four lanes either are ready to accommodate that demand or they're not. If all freeway lanes are jammed, the cars entering have to wait for an opening. If we now apply the CPU percentage and CPU load-average measurements to this situation, percentage examines the relative amount of time each vehicle was found occupying a freeway lane, which inherently ignores the pent-up demand for the freeway—that is, the cars lined up on the entrances. So, for example, vehicle license XYZ 123 was found on the freeway 30% of the sampling time. Vehicle license ABC 987 was found on the freeway 14% of the time. That gives a picture of how each vehicle is utilizing the freeway, but it does not indicate demand for the freeway.
Moreover, the percentage of time these vehicles are found on the freeway tells us nothing about the overall traffic pattern except, perhaps, that they are taking longer to get to their destination than they would like. Thus, we probably would suspect some sort of a jam, but the CPU percentage would not tell us for sure. The load averages, on the other hand, would.
This brings us to the point. It is the overall traffic pattern of the freeway itself that gives us the best picture of the traffic situation, not merely how often cars are found occupying lanes. The load average gives us that view because it includes the cars that are queuing up to get on the freeway. It could be the case that it is a nonrush-hour time of day, and there is little demand for the freeway, but there just happens to be a lot of cars on the road. The CPU percentage shows us how much the cars are using the freeway, but the load averages show us the whole picture, including pent-up demand. Even more interesting, the more recent that pent-up demand is, the more the load-average value reflects it.
Taking the discussion back to the machinery at hand, the load averages tell us by increasing duration whether our physical CPUs are over- or under-utilized. The point of perfect utilization, meaning that the CPUs are always busy and, yet, no process ever waits for one, is the average matching the number of CPUs. If there are four CPUs on a machine and the reported one-minute load average is 4.00, the machine has been utilizing its processors perfectly for the last 60 seconds. This understanding can be extrapolated to the 5- and 15-minute averages.
In general, the intuitive idea of load averages is the higher they rise above the number of processors, the more demand there is for the CPUs, and the lower they fall below the number of processors, the more untapped CPU capacity there is. But all is not as it appears.
Thanks for the article
It is really good article, till now following load avg values blindly.
This article given clear understanding.
Thank you for the article,
Thank you for the article, now i've understood the difference.
But what about hyperthreading?
VPS environment
I'm curious, how does top report load average on a VPS? is it reporting on the VPS's average or the server machine's?
Just thought I put it out there.. thanks for any replies.
great article
this certainly answered a lot of questions for me. great article. thanks!
How to get CPU load inf in terms of Percentage
CPU load average, we can get using many commands, but how to get this average value in terms of percentage
Is there any formula for it? searched in google couldnt get right information on how to get this percentile value
multi core procs
So how does this apply to multi core cpu's?
If I have 4 quad core cpu's in my system then do I still only have 4 lanes on my highway? or do I have 16?
You have one lane per core in
You have one lane per core in the system.
So a system with 4 CPUs, each with one core would be a 4-lane highway (as stated in the article) - or you can think of it as 4 single lane highways.
If you have a single quad-core then you have a 4-lane highway.
If you have 4 quad-core CPUs, then you have 4 4-land highways (or a single 16-lane highway).
Nice & useful article ! I'd
Nice & useful article !
I'd like to mention here that the timeslices of each task are NOT 10 ms, but 100 ms as an average (nice val 0) & goes down to 10 ms (assuming HZ=100) for nice val -19.
This is ofcourse for the pre-CFS days, which is when I believe the article was written
Load Average
Always had a confusion about load avg, thanks to your article it is clear now. Great Article

- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?
