Rock Etudes For Drum Set is the companion book to Etudes For Drum Set. In this book, three and four-way coordination between the snare, hi-hat and bass drum is featured within the highly practical framework of a steady rock cymbal rhythm. Most of the etudes are four to eight lines in duration, and meant to be read from start to finish without stopping. Preparatory exercises precede most of the etudes, and these exercises do just that - prepare you for the coordinated rhythmic patterns found within a particular etude.

Among the many useful topics addressed in this package are the basic role of the drummer, the concept of pocket, learning basic song form, versatility (being able to play various styles), soloing in a musical situation, playing with a click, working with electronics, and conducting business professionally. These discussions are aimed at players of all levels who want to get more and better gigs. There are also informative and useful sections dealing with playing ballads, getting good tone from your drums, working with a group, and dealing with different types of gigs, from clubs to bus tours to sessions.
Interspersed among the educational segments are killer performances from Gorden and his group, The E&G Band, playing various song styles and grooves. There are also interview/advice segments from other famous working drummers, including Aaron Spears, Russ Miller, Will Kennedy, and a segment with jazz/fusion great George Duke, who also performs with Gorden.
Produced by Campbell and Eric Dorris (filmmaker behind Todd Sucherman's great DVDs) and released on the Hudson Ltd. label, the main program of the DVD runs approximately one hour and 45 minutes, and is followed by extensive bonus footage including a detailed tour of Gorden's gear (with explanations of the instruments) and a lengthy interview highlighting Gorden's childhood, development, career, and more.
Campbell's resume – which includes Earth. Wind, and Fire; George Duke; Jessica Simpson; Ne-Yo; Whitney Houston; The American Idol Tour; Mary J. Blige; and Jonathan Butler – clearly illustrates his qualifications for creating such a DVD. The program contains advice and discussion on career-related topics often overlooked on other DVDs, as well as lots of great playing.

Setting a newly written text by Charles Bennett, this fifteen-minute choral work takes singers on a journey through five historical events: the invention of printing, the abolition of slavery, the first powered flight, the discovery of penicillin, and the first man in space.
In each movement, music and words come together to create a strikingly vivid and personal account of each protagonist's experience, from the printer seeing 'each letter like a person' to the astronaut commenting on the beauty of our planet from space.
Chilcott's music is as captivating as ever, with energy in abundance alongside moments of clarity and stillness. This is an ideal concert work for choirs looking to perform with an upper-voice group, or for larger SATB choruses with divisi sopranos and altos.
The optional timpani part is printed separately at the back of the score.

Enormous demands are placed on the control and manual dexterity of the contemporary drum set player, particularly in the Jazz idiom. Today's drummer is expected to have developed limb coordination to a degree that would have been thought unachievable a few short years ago. This text presents an effective method of dealing with the mastery of drum set coordination by breaking it down into four sections: 1) Ride Cymbal - Right hand; 2) Snare Drum - Left hand; 3) Bass Drum - Right foot; 4) Hi-hat - Left foot. The author clearly states his goals in writing this book: "It is my sincere wish that the materials presented in [this] text will be of considerable help in developing musical approach to the coordination skills demanded of today's drummer." -John Pickering

Playing a hi-hat splash here and there, on an upbeat or a downbeat, is not too difficult. However, producing a splash at various positions along the beat, and integrating the splash with bass kicks as well as off-beat accents on the snare drum, is a major problem. Splashdown is an in-depth study which deals with this problem. Essentially, it is a study of four-way coordination with hi-hat splashes as the major focus.

Drumsense Volume 2 introduces the student to a basic jazz beat, with triplet fills from Drumsense Volume 1 revisited but with hi hat keeping time.
The book includes a chapter on ""jazz independence"" (i.e. snare or bass drum against jazz ride cymbal) which never gets too difficult and is musical and fun for the beginner.
The book also covers subdivided 16th note rolls, but with hi hat timekeeping, which gets quite challenging, and a section on basic stroke technique: accents, taps, down and up strokes.
Overall, the emphasis of Drumsense Volume 2 is on timekeeping (hi hat with foot) and technique (basic strokes).
Instruments: Drums, Percussion
Genres: Jazz & Blues
Drumsense Volume 1 is aimed at beginners and takes the student through 11 basic rock beats and applies 5 hi hat disciplines, creating 55 rock co-ordinations. In this way, the student is introduced to foundational techniques that any beginner should master.
The chapter relating to "fills" shows the student several subdivisions of a 16th note roll, ranging from simple to very syncopated, and gets the student to orchestrate these subdivisions in different ways across the kit, toms, and cymbals. This is done in straight feel, and then a section devoted to shuffle feel.
Chapter 3 shows basic rudiments including single and double stroke rolls, 5 - 15 stroke rolls, and paradiddles. Finally, there is a drum solo comprised entirely of beats and fills found within the book itself.
Drumsense Volume 1 is regarded by many teachers as the clearest and most contemporary beginner's book around, with the concepts of phrasing and orchestration forming the basis for the Drumsense Teaching Programme.

Taking Center Stage is the definitive print retrospective and musical documentation of the career of one of the greatest rock drummers of all time, Neil Peart of Rush. Originally conceived as a companion to the groundbreaking 2011 3-disc DVD set of the same name, this book combines astonishingly detailed musical transcriptions, historical writing, instructional text, and a beautiful collection of photographs to create a book that every drummer and every fan of Neil and Rush will want to add to their collection.
At the heart of the book are note-for-note musical transcriptions of 17 songs that are included on the Taking Center Stage DVD. These transcriptions are exclusive to this book, since they are taken from the performances on the DVD, documenting how Neil currently approaches the songs. Some of the tracks included are "Tom Sawyer," "Red Barchetta," "The Spirit of Radio," "Free Will," "Subdivisions," "Time Stand Still," "Marathon," "La Villa Strangiato," "The Trees," "Caravan," "BU2B," "Far Cry," and many others. But this is much more than a mere transcription book.
The book is divided into chapters corresponding to each and every Rush tour from the time Neil joined the band in 1975, up to the present. Each of these chapters contains extensive text discussing the musical approach of the band at the time, the construction of the drum parts, and Neil's set up. Accompanying this are exquisitely detailed diagrams of each of Neil's drumsets, produced after extensive research into the exact instruments that were used on every tour.
Tying everything together is a beautiful collection of dozens of photographs taken over the past 30 years, including exclusive shots from the archives of Fin Costello and Andrew McNauhgtan, which show Neil and his drums in vivid detail. The book also contains color reproductions of just about every drum company advertisement that featured Neil during his career.
Written, transcribed, and researched by well-known drummer, author, and educator Joe Bergamini (who also co-produced and appeared in the DVD), and overseen and edited by Neil himself, Taking Center Stage: A Lifetime of Live Performance is the most complete, accurate, and definitive work on Neil Peart's career as a drummer.

This indispensible book is filled with info that will take you from the practice room to the stage!

Unite 2 Revive Concert Raises $5,800 for Red Cross
Funds will benefit Jersey Coast Chapter and its post-Sandy recovery efforts.
Jersey threw a rocking party and everyone was invited—except Sandy.
On Sunday, a crowd of over 400 turned up for Unite 2 Revive, a benefit concert held at Jersey's Sports bar & Grill in Neptune. The event raised $5,800 for the Jersey Coast Chapter of the American Red Cross to help with their Sandy disaster relief efforts, according to Unite 2 Revive publicist Deirdre Anne Lopian.
"It has been an extremely stressful two weeks. Everybody is affected by the storm in one way shape or form. Why not come out, have a good time, listen to the music, dance to the bands. And at the same time, you're giving back to your community," Lopian said.
The idea for the fundraiser came about when Dru-Anne Palaima, owner of Stars that Shine Entertainment, and Sandra Marafioti, owner of Tourpax Services, approached John and Wendy Bruzzese of Synergy Event Planners about organizing a group of Jersey Shore bands to raise money for the area, according to Lopian.
The bands brought on board included Eddie Testa Band, Guy Smiley Band, Rome, Undercover, Marc Ribler & Friends, Kindred and Nobs Overdrive.
Actor Tom Pelphrey, a native of Howell, came in from Brooklyn to attend.
"Just like anybody from New Jersey, I just wanted to do anything I could to help," Pelphrey said.
Long Branch residents Karen and Glenn Jaffe said they felt lucky to have escaped the worst of Sandy.
"We live on the shore. We were very lucky. We wanted to support those who weren't as lucky," Karen Jaffe said.
The American Red Cross only accepts monetary donations rather than clothing or household items so that the organization can buy materials in bulk and to utilize their resources efficiently, according to Jersey Coast Chapter Readiness and Response Coordinator for Monmouth and Ocean County Ellen Korpar.
Additionally, local volunteers will continue to be needed in the weeks and months ahead as out-of-state helpers return home.
"This is going to be a long term effort," Korpar said.
Liesle Ewing Mims, a district executive director for the American Red Cross, said the organization frequently spends the money it raises following a disaster within the community that has been impacted.
"It's about helping the individual recover, the family recover and the whole community," said Ewing Mims, who came up from Alabama to assist with recovery efforts.
In addition to the $20 ticket price, Unite 2 Revive raised money by selling bracelets, t-shirts and accepting donations and corporate sponsorships.
The event's sponsors included Patch, Bridge Financial Group, RAC Consulting, Remedy Intelligent Staffing, MyMonmouth, Breakthrough Wellness Center, Strategic Business Solutions, Vero Luce Photography, Showerman and Click, Crop & Create.
Unite 2 Revive will continue accepting donations through Nov. 30 at its Web site.

It's great to here about all these events after they happen, Maybe PATCH could post some sort of calendar of up coming benefit events.

Wednesday night, Christine Martucci is playing at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park, they are going to give out some gift cards and stuff to people who got hit and they are also doing a toys for tots drive...come on out and support the shore
9:10 am on Tuesday, November 20, 2012
We should be donating to www.SandyNJReliefFund.org - started by Chris and Mary Pat Christie to make sure the money goes to people in NJ- not to a charity in which the CEO makes 7 figures.
10:06 am on Tuesday, November 20, 2012
Couldn't agree more. Did not see much of Red Cross throughout the disaster Last I heard they raised $14.25 million. Where is all that money going? As far as I can see, not here. The efforts I witnessed for food, clothing and other supplies were provided by local communities helping each other.

Introduction | Measurements | Comparisons | Conclusion |
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.8G is a highly competitive lens. It is very well priced for the quality it offers and for a prime wide-angle lens the optical performance is, quite simply, staggering. Whatever genre of photography you enjoy, from landscapes to travel, reportage or architecture, the 28mm f/1.8G will ensure you capture the scene as accurately as possible. If you're looking for an FX-fit wide-angle lens to mount on your Nikon FX camera, the 28mm f/1.8G represents not just the 'best' choice in terms of optical performance, but also the 'smart' choice because the performance per pound/dollar/euro ratio is so high. It is going to take a quite special lens from the third party manufacturers like Sigma, Tamron and Zeiss to knock the Nikkor from its perch as the king of Nikon FX format wide-angle prime lenses.

Fine body choice
The D3x is certainly not discontinued, it is still the flagship for low iso = Landscapes and portraits for pro photographers, who need a solid body, much more solid than D800

Body choice
Why did you attach new lenses to already discontinued D3X instead of testing them with D800[E]?
The same is with canon. 5D Mark III may be used instead of rather old Mark II. Reply |

After switching from win98 to winXP, it seems that several programs do not run on XP. They open, then when they get to the point where the screen is about to open, they stop and close.
For example, when opening Kazaa, the title square pops up (The green one that says Kazaa version whatever) but then the program closes automatically and immediately. The little Icon that shows up in the taskbar tray sits there until you move the mouse over it, then it too disappears.
I run Kazaa through Diet K, which also closes along with Kazaa.
Quicktime also does this (which means i have been unable to watch EEEM's video thing) and Whenever i try to use DeadAim to clone AIM, it won't work. All the other DeadAim features work, except for the cloning.
Does anyone have any clue as to what might be causing this? It's incredibly incredibly annoying.

First explain why you switched to XP. Did you know that I've never seen or heard of a person that actually
their switch to XP? Sure I've met some that haven't complained or anything, but nobody has actually liked it. Why not just switch back? What was wrong with 98?

I like XP better than 98. I've had less problems. I didn't switch from 98 to XP on the same computer though. When I built my new computer I loaded XP Pro right off the bat. I don't know if some of the bugs exist through conflict with past versions of programs or something. Mine works great.

We run XP at work. We used to run NT and they made us all switch. Generally it's OK once you get used to the new feel (or set it back to the classic look). Some network type things seem to take ages in XP when they didn't on NT though.
My home PC has ME on. It seems to be fine (once you upgrade the frankly useless versions of the office software they bundle with it).

On thing I hate about XP - and maybe there's a way to turn this off that I haven't found - is the way it treats zip files in File Explorer. It lets you browse them like folders. Trouble is, when I have a "download" directory loaded with zip files, it takes freaking forever to display the contents of the "downloads" directory, because XP looks inside every one of those zip files to see what's inside in case you want to browse them (which I never do).
I've also read some hilarious stories about people accidentally and unknowingly turning on XP's speech recognition feature, and then being frightened by the haunted behavior of their machine as it missinterprets whatever sounds are in the background (TV on?) and types them into whatever applicationn is open.

Word, I had the same problem with Kazaa, all I did was simply reinstall it and it worked fine. As for Quicktime, it should be able to be fixed the same way. I know kazaa checks if your running win9x or winxp and installs accordingly. Also WinXP could have over written certain files in the system which can bork programs from time to time.
Don't about deadaim thou, never heard of it till now.
Extro: Do you have any zip programs installed, such as winzip or winrar? By the sounds of it, the system is defaulting to the system reader, rather than an external program. You may have to change the filetype actions in the Folder Options.

it's not a good idea to run programs you installed from another os... you really should just format and start anew, or go back to 98...

I tried reinstalling Kazaa. It worked twice after the installation, then started acting up *again* when i tried the third time.
Quicktime has never worked, and i tried installing that one again too.
DeadAim is bascially a program that runs with AIM and supresses the extra crap you don't need on your buddy list, keeps logs of IM's, and other stuff, and the coolest part, imo, is that it lets you run more than one sn at a time. (except that on both of my XP computers it doesn't do that. just that one part.)

One of the "recommended updates" I regretted was upgrading to Windows Media Player 9. Movies that played before wouldn't play, and some would crash XP, every time. The worst of it all was that it's incredibly difficult to revert back - you can't just uninstall Media Player 9 - no such option. I finally managed to do it - back to version 8, and everything's fine. But it was a major pain in the neck.

regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
That disables the zipfolders. If you use system restor, set a restore point right after doing that, otherwise WinXP will revert at some point.
You may need to rename that .dll after you do it as wel, just to be sure.

And for those with WinXp that keeps crashing, try this:
Start ==> Run ==> type in "sigverif.exe" (of course without the quotes). That'll check if the drivers you are using are Windows Hardware Qualified. If not, try and find newer/different drivers.

Reasons for Procedure
Reasons for a cystectomy include:
- Cancer of the bladder
- Problems with nerve-muscle control of the bladder
- Bladder damage from radiation or chemotherapy
- Bladder damage or bleeding from other conditions, treatments, or injuries
Possible Complications
Complications occur in 25%-35% of patients who have cystectomy. If you are planning to have a cystectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications. These may include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Loss of sexual function
- Fluid build-up in the abdominal cavity
- Damage to other organs
- Blockage of urine flow from the ureters to the bladder
- Nutrition problems (depending on the bowel segments used to create a way for urine to drain)
- Blood clots
- Reaction to anesthesia
- Urinary incontinence
Previous surgery in the abdomen or pelvis or radiation to the area increases your risk of complications.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Doctors recommend that you quit smoking before surgery. You may also need to take antibiotics to prevent infection and laxatives to clean out the bowels.
The night before, you may be asked not to eat anything and to only drink clear liquids. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight or on the morning of the procedure. This includes avoiding clear liquids, coffee, tea, and water.
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, such as:
- Aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners, such as clopidogrel or warfarin
General anesthesia is given before surgery. You will be asleep.
Description of Procedure
An incision will be made in the abdomen to expose the bladder. All blood vessels to the bladder will be cut. The bladder will then be removed. Other tissues and organs may also need to be removed with the bladder.
The doctor will also need to create a new way for urine to be passed out of the body. A new bladder may be built using pieces of intestine. Or, an external bag may be attached to the abdomen.
How Long Will It Take?
About 3–6 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during the surgery. Recovery is usually painful. Your doctor will give you medicine to help manage the pain.
Average Hospital Stay
The usual length of stay is 5-12 days. The specific length of time will depend on your condition and the reason for surgery. Your doctor may also choose to keep you longer if complications occur.
Post-procedure Care
- A stay in the intensive care unit for 2-3 days may be needed.
- During surgery, a tube will be placed from the nose to the stomach. It will stay there for several days. Because you cannot eat with the tube in place, you will receive IV fluids.
- If a urine bag was attached during the surgery, you will be taught how to dispose of urine.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Difficult physical activity should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.
- Avoid heavy lifting, straining, and sexual activity until your doctor tells you it is okay.
- Driving and climbing stairs is usually allowed. Ask your doctor about any restrictions.
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
Call Your Doctor
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, heavy bleeding, or discharge from the incision and/or stoma site
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Pain that you cannot control with the medicines you have been given
- Inability to urinate or difficulty urinating, extreme cloudiness or pus in the urine, a bad odor to the urine
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Lewisville Leader > News
LISD not considering guns for teachers
By Chris Roark,
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 11:16 AM CST
While several school districts across the country have considered arming teachers with guns following the school shooting in Newtown, Conn. on Dec. 12, Lewisville ISD won't be one of them.
During Monday's LISD Board of Trustees meeting, Dr. Kevin Rogers, chief operating officer, updated the board on several emergency planning efforts the district has made in recent months.
In January, seven LISD officials and 21 representatives from area police and fire departments met to discuss emergency plans.
Among the topics was allowing teachers to carry guns. Proponents of the idea have said that could have saved lives when a gunman shot and killed 26 students and staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School last year.
Local officials, however, said that is not the answer.
"We certainly have our belief that that's not what we want to be doing," Rogers said. "It is very important that every police chief unanimously said it is not their belief that that's not the best action to take. It was good for us to get a concensus on what we already believed."
LISD won't bring the idea to the table like other area districts have, such as Arlington ISD and Cleburne ISD.
"I think our teachers are there to educate and not to panic and put themselves in that type of position," said Board Member Kathy Duke.
Rogers said there was also discussion at the meeting about coordinating large emergency drills with multiple agencies.
He said the district is looking into creating a position for a safety and security coordinator to manage all of the security cameras, student resource officers and other components, rather than having multiple departments oversee those.
Representatives also talked about streamlining communication between the district and local police and fire departments and establishing more long-term relationships.
Rogers also updated the board on several emergency efforts LISD has made in the last few months, including providing automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to every marching band in LISD and giving AED drills with district staff members.
Every campus has received National Oceanic and Atmospheric (NOAA) radios in case of bad weather. Mobile communication hot spots have been purchased in case wireless technology goes down, campuses can still access the Internet. Hard wire telephones have been installed in every campus and facility in case mobile devices aren't functioning.
All principals have been asked to complete a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) training.
The technology department is upgrading and consolidating all of the district's security cameras.

BZPower Lexicon of Terms |
BZPower Lexicon of Terms |
Sep 15 2002, 11:56 AM
Kohrak-Kal Shattered Group: Premier Outstanding BZP Citizens Posts: 4758 Joined: 22-January 02 Member No.: 392 |
Welcome to the BZPower Lexicon of Terms, where you'll find definitions and descriptions of most BZPower terms. Renovations are being made to the Lexicon, so please forgive it's rough appearence. Note that it may take a me a while to update the Lexicon, as I maintain this by myself and I have a lot of other things to do. Q: Why are some terms in bold and some in standard font? A: Attribute this to my own laziness. I have been slacking with this but it's going to get better. Eventually I want all the terms to be in bold, and it should be okay soon. Q: How do I contribute a term or modify an existing one? A: Before contributing, check that your term isn't already in the Lexicon. If it isn't, then feel free to post it in the topic. If possible, give a description as well, as this will make it easier for me to update the Lexicon. If you feel a term's definition is out of date, you can also post a new one in the topic. Do not PM me with terms and updates. Q: What can I contribute? A: As I said above, check that it isn't already in the Lexicon. There are a few rules as to what can be added. Firstly, NO member names, unless it's an Administrator or Assistant Admin, or a member that's special in some way. This Lexicon isn't big enough for every Forum Leader, Forum Assistant, etc. Secondly, all terms must be BZP-related. NO BIONICLE-related terms unless they happen to be BZP terms as well (such as Vahi and Avohkii). BZP abbreviations for BIONICLE things (such as Morby and RahkShoe) are permitted, but don't make up terms for the sake of it. Thirdly, submitting Ranks is fine, but not the number of posts required to get a Rank, since BZP likes to keep this a surprise. And lastly, the rules of BZP apply here, in that no other forums or sites with forums should be submitted. Q: What can I post in the topic? A: The topic is for the discussion of the BZPLOT, and it also serves as a place where members can submit new terms. Feel free to use the topic to discuss what you think of the BZPLOT, and how it can be improved. For contributing terms and updates to already existing terms, see the above two questions. However, the rules of BZPower still apply here - no spamming, flaming, or mentioning sites with forums. Breaking the rules will not be tolerated here any more than any other topic, so be careful. UPDATES 8th September 2005 A nice new logo has been added, and links to BZP News and BS01 are being added. Actually, is BS01 even in the Lexicon? Let me go and check... Admin: Short for Administrator. Administrator: One of the members who helps to run BZPower. AFOL: Adult fan of LEGO. Armored Protector: A rank symbolising the Toa. ATC:Aussie Trade Center. AOG: Anti-Omochao Group. Avatar: A picture that is displayed with your posts and PMs. Avatar Shop: A topic where members can request certain avatars. Avohkii: [1]The Mask of Light. [2]A spinning Avohkii is a sign of being regestered for two years. BA: Short for "Bohrok Awakener", the wonderful, helpful, well-respected Member responsible for creating the BZPower Lexicon of Terms Bandwith: The space used up by a website. The more bandwith a site takes up, the more it costs to run. Banned Member: A member who is prohibited from posting and recieving PMs because of innopropriate behaviour. Battling Makuta: A rank symbolising the Toa's defeat of the Makuta. BBC: The Bionicle-based Creations forum. BFMN: [1]Short for The Battle for Mata Nui online game, a rather poor successor to the MNOLG. It was intended for release in 2002, but it was delayed, and eventually released uncompleted in 2003. BZP Review [2]Short for Battle of Metru Nui, the largest of four BIONICLE "playsets" released in 2005. It recreates the Toa Hordika's attempt to break into the Coliseum to free the Matoran. Big D: An abbreviated from of Dimensioneer. Bink: Short for Binkmeister. Binkmeister: BZPower's news editor and Administrator. BIONICLE: LEGO's first attempt at creating their own lisence to rival their best-selling line, Star Wars.

May I make some corections:
1.It should be Administrator.
1.Avatar not Avaters 2.It goes in your post not sig.
Flaming is mild abusive behavure like "Your moc stinks" or "I hate you"
1.Forum not Forums 2.A forum is a place were members create topics acording to the title.
1.Moderator not Modarators.
1.Topic not Topics. 2.BZPower is a measage board, A topic is a subget whitch members disscus about. All in all a good topic but it needs brushing up. -------------------- Lost and forgoten....

This is a good thread. A MOD should Pin it, and also add some more terms, and refine some of the existing ones.
Maybe you should also write, (to identify them easier) that MODs have a color changing Hau, and Support Team members have a Color changing Huna (I think)??!?!? Great Topic -------------------- 1st BZer to have (11) vahi AND the KAL!!!

If this doesnt show that members dont read the ref desk than I dont know what does. There already is a topic about this in the Ref Desk yet not as extensive and you missed COT Prohibited Members added by Bionicle on September 12th 2002 because of anti American posts. See pinned COT topic for more detail. And Your definition of flaming is the definition of spam.

Members worked together to name, design, and give powers to a group of evil Toa based on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.- --------------- The DTotA actually ran from I believe early July 2001 to sometime around Septemeber when Rahi Master was able to build a few concept models of them. They had names and stuff...but that probably belongs in another topic. -------------------- |

I don't think so. I din't knew lots of these. And I am not sure if you alredy kne what BZPowercast means before you came here. And I must repeat what other member said : In all of your posts you say ,,agree with me'' . Why? Why agree with you? You are nex to here. We don't even know much about you. So don't tell us what we have to do. Sorry if this is some sort of flaming or anything, I just had to say this. Sorry for this Off-Topic. On-Topic : Your lexicon is great! Now I know where to look when I don't understand anything. Keep on good work and find some more words -------------------- Thanks, Swert109 Nui for animating that avatar of mine! And I also thank you, -X-, for making the original Matoran!

We should create some nicknames for members, like SPT (Super Posting Torhu)!

Correction, this site was not made exclusively by Dimensioneer. It was made by Bink, D, and myself. Actually, Bink did the most work. He's the one who does most of the programming on BZP. I noticed a number of errors in the first post which I have fixed. |

I never actually explained this one. "TRT" is short for "The Real Torhu" essentially it is the guy who will take care of buisness with a problem member. The side of Torhu you don't want to see. -------------------- |

'Mod' meaning Mask of Destiny should be Mod or Mod to avoid confusion, but some people use Mod for Moderator[s].
If you change that it would be ideal for newbies as a lexicon. -------------------- And don't forget to visit: Lewagirl78's Author Zone! Lee Trynace's Stories!

I saw "newbies" at the Lexicon and thought I'd clear something up for all members who use the term incorrectly. Newbie: one who is new to a certain place, group, or profession Most of the time 'newbie' does mean that one is inexperienced at a certain thing, but not always. A newbie can know more than a veteran by learning much more OUTSIDE the profession, group, or place. n00b: a degrading term similar to 'newbie' This is where the confusion begins. Many people think that 'n00b' and 'newbie' are the same. They're not. Newbie just means you're new. n00b means you're new and anthropomorphic. You immediately think you know everything and parade yourself around like you own the place. You're too big for your own britches. It just means that you're all talk... that's basically what a n00b is. All talk. Put this up there if you want... -LV -------------------- Our shackles may have already been broken, but we have yet to stand up and walk.

One addition:
When you are making a reference to another member with more than one word in his/her name, people will often abbreviate it. So, The Best Toa Nuva 33 or Kuma-Nui island (fictional usernames, I hope) would be called TBTN33, or K-Ni. I (Huki the Brown) would be HtB. -------------------- |

A rebel group now in control of a key city in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo announced Wednesday that it plans to "liberate" the entire country.
A spokesman for the rebel M23 group said its successful operation to take Goma on Tuesday, the culmination of several days of heavy fighting against government forces, was just the beginning.
"We will push on to Bukavu, then Kisangani, and finally take Kinshasa and overthrow the government," Lt. Col. Vianney Kazarama said to enthusiastic cheers from a crowd of several hundred at Goma's stadium, according to a Congolese reporter there.
Kazarama said that once the rebels overthrow the government, they will call for elections.
Kinshasa, the country's capital, lies nearly 1,000 miles to the west of Goma, the capital of North Kivu province.
On Wednesday, M23 consolidated its control of Goma, calling on policemen and the remaining government soldiers in town to integrate with the rebel group.
Activity started to return to normal, with shop owners restarting their businesses -- some after closing their doors for several days because of the tense situation. M23 has called on schools and banks to reopen as early as Thursday.
The front line, according to the rebel fighters, has moved to the west of Goma, to Mugunga.
The U.N. special representative for DR Congo, Roger Meece, briefed the U.N. Security Council on the "extremely serious crisis" in North Kivu by video link from Kinshasa on Wednesday.
"The security situation in North Kivu as well as in other areas in the east of Congo has seriously deteriorated over recent days, and this is compounded by a vast humanitarian crisis affecting hundreds of thousands of Congolese citizens," Meece said.

NEW YORK STATE -- The nation's strictest gun law is seeing its first legal challenge.
The State Rifle and Pistol Association has filed a notice of claim to overturn New York's sweeping gun control law, the NY SAFE Act. The claim takes issue with the gun control law and its updated ban on assault weapons, challenging the constitutionality of the measure.
In the notice of claim, the association says the law violates the U.S. Constitution's Commerce Clause, as well as violations of due process and unlawful seizure of property.
The law has new restrictions on the private sale of firearms and requires registration of previously unregistered assault weapons.
The claim also says that "the legislation is impermissibly vague and overboard." A claim like this is generally a precursor to a full-blown lawsuit.
To read the notice of claim, visit www.nysrpa.org/files/SAFENoticeOfClaim.pdf.

Hey Dix, now that is a nice looking fire. Would you be my newest bud from Ontario?? David QQ
With Canadian oile and American natural gas, we should be able to make North America energy independent.Want to be buddies
Absolutely, we should be buddies!
If Canada would build refineries near where they get their crude out of the ground, instead of crudely shoving their crude down south, then Canadians could enjoy lower prices like the Rock Mountain region.
My wife and I wish you a safe and grand CHRISTmas. Hope these HOLY-days bring you lots of peace and joy!!
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
