Streaming Audio in Linux
Since it is important to have your sound device fully functional, many configuration details should be checked, such as the sound support in the kernel (you can compile as a kernel module). Check the SOUND-HOWTO by Jeff Tranter (firstname.lastname@example.com) at http://confused.ume.maine.edu/mdw/HOWTO/Sound-HOWTO.html—it's a good reference.
Once we have the digital audio signal in hand it is important to encode it. There are many types of sound files (au, wav, aiff, mpeg), each with its pros and cons. Some of them simply stack the samples in a vector, byte after byte, while others try to compress the signal through transformations and sometimes heavy computations.
Fortunately, on sunsite (http://sunsite.unc.edu/) you can find AFsp, from Peter Kabal (firstname.lastname@example.com), a library that reads and writes these files for you. I have not used it, since by the time I found it, I had already written some code to do the same operations. AFsp is very well documented.
There are many good sources of information around the Web on how to program the input and output of sound in Linux. The first you should check out is the Programmer's Guide to OSS at http://www.4front-tech.com/pguide/index.html. It contains all the information you need for the control and manipulation of different aspects of your audio hardware, like MIDI, mixing capabilities and, of course, digital audio.
In Linux the sound hardware is generally controlled through a device (normally /dev/audio). You have to activate it, with a call to open and set some parameters (sample rate, quantization method and mono or stereo) using ioctl (I/O control). These basic steps for playing or recording are well illustrated in the "Basic Audio" section of the guide mentioned above.
Playing is accomplished by a write operation of the vector of samples on the device, while the recording is done through a read. There are some subtle details that are being skipped, like the order in which these operations are to be done, for the sake of simplicity.
If you are planning to create applications that require real-time interaction (for example, a game engine) and have to continuously stream an audio sequence, there are some important measures to take to ensure that the audio buffer is neither overflowed nor underflowed.
The first case, overflows, can be solved by knowing a bit more about the OSS implementation (check the "Making Audio Complicated" page of the OSS Programmer's Guide). The buffer is partitioned in a number of equal pieces, and you can fill one of them while the others are in line for playing. Some ioctl calls will give you information about the total available space in the buffer, so that you can avoid blocking. You can also use IPC (Inter-Process Communication) techniques and create a different process responsible only for buffer manipulation.
When you send the audio to the output at a slower rate than the device plays, the buffer gets empty before you send more data causing an underflow. The resulting effect is disturbing and sometimes difficult to diagnose as an underflow problem. One possible solution is to output the audio at a slower rate, thus giving the computer more time to process the data.
Looking at how other people write their programs helps to understand the inner difficulties of the implementation problems. So, I looked around the Net to see what was available and was quite impressed by both the quantity and the quality of the software I found.
A good, simple example of a "sound-effect server" is sfxserver by Terry Evans (email@example.com), available on sunsite. It takes control of the audio device and receives commands (currently only from stdin) like "load a new effect", starts playing the loaded effect, etc. In the same place you can also find sfxclient, an example of a program client.
Generic network audio systems have taken the approach of keeping the high-level, application development far away from the hardware and device manipulation. The Network Audio System (nas) is one implementation of this paradigm, having the same idea and framework of the X Windows system. It runs on many architectures such as Sun, SGI, HPUX and Linux. Through it you can write applications that take advantage of sound across the network, without worry about where you are actually working—the network layer takes care of everything for you. nas comes with documentation and many client examples. You can download it from sunsite along with a pre-compiled rpm package. Some games like XBoing and xpilot already support it.
Another network transportation implementation is netaudio (http://www.bitgate.com/netaudio/). It is not intended to work as an intermediate layer between applications and devices like nas and is only responsible for real-time transmission of data along the Net, allowing some interesting properties like rebroadcasting. The great advantage I saw was its compactness: the gzipped, tar file is around 6 KB. The basic idea is to use another program in a pipe-like structure to enable playing after reception (or recording for transmission). The README file gives examples of how to compress the audio with other programs to reduce the required amount of bandwidth thus becoming a free, real-time audio alternative for the Web.
A similar package, using LPC compressing methods (designed for voice only) is Speak Freely for Unix from John Walker (http://www.fourmilab.ch/).
Another interesting example of an audio streaming application is mpeg audio playing. The compression achieved by this method is incredible, making high-quality audio on demand possible through the Internet. Unfortunately a fast machine is required for real-time playing.
Again, looking at your sunsite mirror, you will find some implementations. One that is fast, interesting and attention-getting is mpg123 from Michael Hipp (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Oliver Fromme (firstname.lastname@example.com). The official web page is located at http://www.sfs.nphil.uni-tuebingen.de/~hipp/mpg123.html.

The trailer has been released for 'Tai Chi 0', an upcoming Chinese martial arts actioner directed by Stephen Fung. Featuring action choreography by Sammo Hung, the film is the first in a planned trilogy of movies that will depict a young boy's adventures as he masters the ancient Chinese martial art.
As an uncommonly gifted child, Yang Luchan had a fleshy abnormality that holds tremendous power growing on his forehead. However, being teased as the town fool, Yangâs mother spurs him to practice martial arts, and following her wishes, Yang travels to the distant Chen Village to learn Tai Chi. At this legendary village everyone practices Tai Chi and uses Tai Chi in every aspect of their lives. Nevertheless, it is forbidden for a villager to disclose Tai Chi to an outsider, which Yang learns the hard way.
Upon arriving at the village, locals discourage Yang by challenging him with fights. From the strong men to old ladies to children, everyone defeats Yang with their Tai Chi moves. After facing the toughest battle and being defeated by Master Chenâs beautiful daughter Yuniang, Yang is determined to master the art of Tai Chi and goes in search of Master Chen. Little does Yang know, the poor strange man who he befriended is in fact Master Chen who had saved him from the duel with Yuniang. Master Chen realizes Yangâs genius and disguises himself to secretly guide Yang to his self realization of Tai Chi.
One day, a frightening steam-powered machine comes to the village, lead by Fang Zijing, a childhood friend of Yuniang. He has bribed government officials to permit him to build a railway that will run straight through the village. Yang decides to join forces with Yuniang to defeat Fang Zijing and destroy the machine. This brave act may just win him the hearts of the villagers...
'Tai Chi 0' stars Jet Li, Angelababy, Eddie Peng, Shu Qi, Daniel Wu, and Tony Leung Ka Fai. Despite what the poster says, the film is due for release across China on the 28th September, 2012.

It's been 32 years since Terry Fox ran his Marathon of Hope and inspired a tradition in communities across Canada that come together every September to carry on his triumphant spirit and raise money for cancer research.
"There are parents and their kids coming out now and participating who weren't even born back then," said Terry Barlow, organizer of the Cambridge Terry Fox Run that will take place in Riverside Park on Sunday afternoon.
Barlow has volunteered with family members for the better part of the past three decades and has seen crowds spike and participation fluctuate with special anniversaries and the organization of separate events by schools and businesses over the years.
"Cambridge has always been involved," he said. "We now have five or six runs in the region and then on top of that there's a bunch of school runs every year, too that have really broadened the base and kept interest going."
His father Bill marvels at the fact that after 32 years, kids in elementary school still know about Terry Fox and his legacy.
Last year, millions of Ontarians raised $12 million for cancer research by participating in 225 community Terry Fox runs and 3,900 school events.
The Terry Fox Foundation has funded 1,180 projects to date and in 2011 invested $27.5 million for cure-oriented, biomedical research and translational research that moves discoveries from the lab to the clinic. Research highlights in the past year include advancements in leukemia treatment with a potentially new antibiotic drug, and the discovery of a gene that's believed to play a critical role in halting breast cancer initiation and progression.
Bill's wife Bernice was also a volunteer until she succumbed to multiple myeloma in 2001. But because of advancements made in research and treatment, she lived longer, according to her daughter Janice, also a cancer survivor, who says fundraising is essential to furthering research.
"I was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst and I've done a lot of things," she said. "I've travelled the world."
Cancer survivors who participate in this weekend's run will wear red to signify their battle.
"There was very little money going to cancer research before and now survival rates for different forms of cancer are a lot higher than they were in the past, including the type of sarcoma that Terry Fox had," Barlow said. "It's quite treatable now."
What sets the Terry Fox Foundation apart from many other charitable organizations is that 84 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to the cause.
"It's a very high ratio of money going into research and very little staff," Barlow noted. "We try to keep our costs down locally, provincially and nationally."
This Sunday's event at Riverside Park gets underway at 1 p.m. Registration opens at noon.
The only major difference compared to past years is that the rear entrance to the park is closed.
"It doesn't affect our route, but it affects people getting in there," he said. "Some would use the Speedsville side but they all have to use King Street this time."
The Cambridge run usually averages between 200 to 225 people. It raised $17,000 last year, pushing the grand total to more than $500,000 since its inception.
Participants can walk, run, cycle or rollerblade the five-kilometre route. Some do it twice. Dogs are welcome and the park is wheelchair accessible. Terry Barlow can be reached at 519-621-6270 or by email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mitt Romney's Internet link to Sharia law
A shortcut to the 2012 Republican hopeful's website is controlled... by the Libyans!
By Alex PareeneTopics: Mitt Romney, War Room, 2012 Elections, Internet Culture, Islam, Politics News
URL-shortening services have become an essential and ubiquitous internet tool, in large part because of Twitter's character limit. Many of them — including Bit.ly, the most popular — use the .ly domain, because it's only two characters and you can make cute little words — like Bit.ly — with it. But very people knew before today that .ly is the official domain of the nation of Libya. Which means it's governed by Libyan law. Or, as a fear-mongering would-be GOP nominee for president might call it, Sharia law.
Early this morning, Libya shut down an "adult-friendly" URL-shortening service called vb.ly, run by Violet Blue and Ben Metcalfe. (Their crime against decency: Blue's scandalously bare arms.) And since June of this year, Libya has forbidden non-Libyans from registering .ly domains with less than 4 characters.
Here's the fun part: For some reason, Republican 2012 front-runner Mitt Romney has a .ly shortcut to his PAC website. It's Mitt.ly. Or it was Mitt.ly, until the news broke that his Internet shortcut was an integral part of the creeping advance of Islamofascism.
And so, he's changing it. To "Mitt.tt." (Pronounced "Mitttt.") The .tt domain belongs to Trinidad and Tobago, so now Romney is just endorsing the racy costumes and lascivious dancing of Carnival.

Mitchell Gwatidzo, 10, is a member of the Girls'' Empowerment club, a UNICEF supported group. Mitchell wants more and more Zimbabwean children to speak out against abuse. |
By Tsitsi Singizi
HURUNGWE, Zimbabwe, 24 January 2006 – Ten-year-old Mitchell Gwatidzo shudders as she retells the story of her little friend who was abused by her uncle. In her crisply ironed blue uniform, Mitchell boldly raises an issue that more and more Zimbabwean children are speaking out about.
"I once had a friend called Nerissa," says Mitchell softly. "She used to come to school with bruises all over her body. She didn't want to tell me her problem. I later found out that her uncle used to beat her every day. He used to tell her that he was not the one who killed her parents and that he had no money to feed her…things like this happen to children everyday."
As a member of one of UNICEF's Girls' Empowerment clubs – or GEMs – Mitchell has been given the confidence to not only identify abuse, but to speak out against it. For Mitchell and hundreds of other Zimbabwean children, it is a critical change.
"As a member of the GEM club I am here to help other children who are being abused," she says. This type of peer-to-peer counselling has become particularly relevant in the wake of Zimbabwe's 'clean up' campaign. The result has been the mass destruction of tens of thousands of homes, leaving more than 500,000 people homeless – more than 200,000 of them children – and more vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.
For Mitchell the club has become a valuable source of information and life skills essential to a young girl growing up in Zimbabwe. "I like Wednesdays at school the most because that's when we meet as the GEM club. In the club we are taught how to be assertive and confident. We also learn about child sexual abuse and the rights of the girl child and how to do well at school."
In a country where an estimated one in six 15 to 24-year-old females are now infected with HIV – and where orphaned girls in Zimbabwe are now 3 times more likely to contract HIV than their non-orphaned peers – the GEM clubs also play a key role in HIV prevention. Sexual negotiation skills – how to say no – are taught, as are messages about abstinence and condom use.
"It's time to break the cycle of transmission of HIV and to end all abuse of children," said UNICEF Representative in Zimbabwe Dr. Festo Kavishe. "GEM clubs play a key role in empowering Zimbabwean girls. We must continue to rise to challenges of the continual [arrival of new] teachers and inadequate funding for the clubs. The growth of children such as Mitchell, and the safety of those like Nerissa, depend on it."
Despite Zimbabwe having one of the world's worst HIV infection rates –an estimated 20.1 per cent of adults – a lack of resources to invest in young people's education, development and protection has meant that two-thirds of young Zimbabweans do not have adequate knowledge about HIV transmission and prevention. This, combined with an orphan crisis and economic hardship forcing many girls out of school, places Zimbabwean girls as some of the most vulnerable on the continent.
Benefits for the entire community
The GEM clubs ensure that even children who are not members of a club benefit, through weekly theatre performances. Using plays, music and dance, club members create and raise awareness on issues of children's rights, child sexual abuse, and other pertinent issues affecting children. Mitchell's pride shines across her face: "At the GEM club we have been tasked to educate the whole community about children's rights!"
And of course, the clubs have a significant personal impact too. Mitchell is quick to point out how much more confidence she now has. "Before I joined the club I used to be shy and I would not participate in class. Now I am happy to say that I can actively participate in class. My wish is to be the best student in my class this term…and to make sure friends like Nerissa get all the help they need."

From Gabriel Avruj
Dear Friends,
All days are special, since we can contemplate and appreciate the wonder that we are and that we have around us. They are also special as an opportunity to get involved in that in which we believe we can share our gifts and to choose who we want to be. But today, specifically, is a special day for various spiritual cultures.
For the Jewish tradition, today is the Day of Atonement. After 10 days of withdrawing and introspection that started on Rosh Hashanah (when we symbolically celebrate the anniversary of the world's birth) until today, when we ask for forgiveness for our actions, which, consciously or unconsciously, hurt others, or hurt ourselves. In doing this mea cupla, we can be re inscribed in the Book of Life for another year.
In this sense, I ask for forgiveness to all of whom might have felt hurt by decisions I might have taken during the last year. For the responsibility to which I am bound as a leader of Humanity's Team Argentina, for not being compassionate enough with the other members of the community, for not being grateful enough with my family, my friends and fellow wanderers in this path, for not listening to them carefully enough, for the mental violence that I may have generated and for countless reasons that each of you may have for not perceiving this year as complete with regards to myself, I ask you for forgiveness.
I also ask myself for forgiveness, for being too judgemental, intolerant and way too demanding, and for not having found the way of expressing the best version of myself with love. I always tried to do the best I could, based on the elements that I thought I had on a given moment.
For Hindus, today is Vijayadasami, the day of victory of good over evil, and the culmination of the Dassara festival.. For ten days, we whorship Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati. Three aspects of the community that reflect action, will and discernment, which are found in all that exists, and within ourselves, since we are all One. Today, it is time to acknowledge ourselves as light, and to know that everything that happens is perfect for our evolution.
Today it's time to leave the past behind in a clean, transparent and sincere manner, being grateful for every obstacle, understanding them as blessings and as tools for transformation. Today it's time fo choosing once again who I want to be, for my own sake, for the sake of those who surround me and those whom I touch. May I see the light within me and in everything, so that I can be a lighthouse and help others awaken to Oneness consciousness as well.
It is my wish that we are, today and always, the peace and the love that we want to have and in which we want to live, and in so doing, inspiring ourselves and others to reinstall heaven on earth.

I sweat a lot, and I don't mind riding in the rain. I always clean, lube and rust-protect my steel bikes (including my Saronni-Colnago track bike, which almost never sees rain and has survived with scars and 2 re-sprays) but inevitably they rust. And I don't see (or feel) any advantage over other materials. So steel is just off the shopping list, at least for me. However my kids have cheap and cheerful steel bikes, and training wheels!
I should however say that my '85 Colnago Mexico was a great steel road bike. Smooth, effortless and hardly rusted at all. It was a great road bike but not handy at all in crits, so I got rid of it before I scratched it. As far as I know it's still intact (a friend bought it off me) and perhaps it proves that the initial treatment and care in manufacture of a steel frame makes the difference. But I can't be bothered with further experimentation given that I've already had, umm, 2 steel track bikes and 6 steel road bikes. And seriously – be they a custom frame, a Colnago or a Gitane, or even an Apollo or a Shogun – they weren't any more comfy or faster for being made of a rusty metal.
Which brings me to carbon. My Look KG76 (skinny carbon/kevlar tubes bonded to aluminium lugs) distinguished itself almost immediately by being the first bike in my experience to make 200km feel like a doddle. Seriously, it was a revelation and even put my comfy steel-framed Colnago into perspective. Whilst I can't say it was the carbon alone that made the difference, I can say that over 20 years later it's still rideable. In fact I'd race it without hesitation. What I would say is that the laid-back French frame angles matched with light but less-than-stiff wheels was the real differentiator in the comfort stakes.
One thing I have learnt from my 35 odd years of bike riding is that things break. My brother broke the steel forks on our old steel road bike. But the frame was getting close to 50 years old by that stage and the forks may have been original! Anyway, they broke catastrophically and without warning, much like my lightweight aluminium seatpost did years later…
Which brings me to aluminium frames. I have just 2 of those, both by Felt. They are ridden almost every day in all kinds of weather and raced on fine summer days. The F50, an aluminium frame with carbon fork is 6 years old (and counting) and has just broken its first spoke. The F75 is just 4 months old and has a carbon rear-end to go with a carbon fork. It's a size smaller than the F50 which fits me better but is noticeably more lively. Given the extra carbon some readers may think it would be more comfy but it's not, it's stiffer and harsher – as well as faster. I put that down to the smaller sized frame and the newer, slightly stiffer wheels rather than frame materials.
Now it gets complicated. I use 3 road bikes regularly but each is a different size with different angles, and a different mix of frame materials and wheelsets. I have Mavic vs Velocity clinchers and a variety of tyres, too. So how could I definitively "prove" what I feel? I can swap wheelsets around a bit and standardise on tyres, I guess. And I can run some tests using my power meter. But frankly, whilst I will almost certainly run some comparisons just for the heck of it, I don't think it matters too much. I can simply summarise my feelings and you can pick and choose what you want to believe. I'll even link to some further opinion afterwards
In summary I believe that :
- Frame materials do NOT inherently "feel" different. If the angles are the same and the material stiffness is the same then they will "feel" the same – to me at least. Which debunks the 'steel or carbon fibre is more comfy' theory
- However my Look KG76 Carbon Kevlar is the most comfortable road bike I've ever owned – but I put that extra comfort down to the wheelset and frame angles rather than the carbon
- Wheels really matter – stiffer wheels degrade comfort but add speed; lighter wheels add speed (or acceleration) but may be softer, especially when cornering (depends on stiffness, again)
- Carbon frames (at least those made by Look) can be stiff or soft by design and can last 20 years or more, even when raced and trained on, without any noticeable change in "feel", either
- Aluminium fails suddenly and catastrophically and like all frames should be keenly examined for damage, but after 6 years of training and racing my aluminium Felt F50 remains failure-free (touch wood!) and just as nice to ride as on day one
- Steel rusts. It can be stiff or soft by design. It also doesn't "age" and become somehow less "springy". At least not in my experience!
Some other people think differently, at least in part….
Is Carbon Fiber really worth the cost of a new bike? | Ask MetaFilter
I have been convinced that carbon fiber ages significantly every time it flexes, as does aluminum to a much lesser degree. Steel on the other hand, can flex a million times with very little measurable change in springiness. Just imagine how well a coil spring made of carbon fiber or aluminum would last.
Bicycle Frame Materials – Steel, Aluminum, Titanium and Carbon Fiber, by Sheldon Brown
Did you know that:
* Aluminum frames have a harsh ride?
* Titanium frames are soft and whippy?
* Steel frames go soft with age, but they have a nicer ride quality?
* England's Queen Elizabeth is a kingpin of the international drug trade?
All of the above statements are equally false. There is an amazing amount of folkloric "conventional wisdom" about bicycle frames and materials that is widely disseminated, but has no basis in fact.The reality is that you can make a good bike frame out of any of these metals, with any desired riding qualities, by selecting appropriate tubing diamters, wall thicknesses and frame geometry.
Lifespan of Carbon Fiber Frame – Topic Powered by Social Strata
I have over 15000 miles on a 2004 Trek 5200 and I personally cannot tell any difference in the ride from the firt day to today. The frame has its share of scratches dings and such but its as supple as the day I bought it. My feeling on CF bikes is when there is a major malfunction it will just break and thats the time to replce it. I rode Steel in the 80'2 and could definitely tell age on the ride and performance after many miles. Same for an aluminum bike in the 90′s. Probably not the most scientific answer you could get but its just my $.02 worth. 300 miles on a frame isnt much if you feel the bike has been cared for.
STEEL, ALUMINUM, TITANIUM, CARBON, or Some Combo!
But let us not deceive ourselves. The slight weight disadvantage that comes with a steel frame makes it unusable for racing at the highest levels. A steel frame can be made that weighs in the mid to low 3-pound range. Over a non-compact aluminum frame, this is a penalty of about one pound. This is just too heavy to chase Tyler Hamilton up a category-one climb. That is why the professional peloton uses aluminum or carbon. But for the rider who does not compete at the elite level, that one-pound penalty as part of a whole rider/bike package that approaches 200 pounds (or may generously exceed it) is insignificant. And for that pound, the rider gets a bike that can take advantage of the high-tensile strength and springy elasticity of modern steel and ride a bike that is an absolute dream. No bike rides as well as a steel bike built by a skilled builder. People who disagree with this conclusion usually have either a commercial interest in other materials, or have not ridden modern steel bikes.
STEEL, ALUMINUM, TITANIUM, CARBON, or Some Combo!
I believe that the feel of the road is a large part of the feedback I am looking for as I ride my bike. I am not looking to isolate myself from my cycling environment. I want to be part of it. For me, then, carbon works against my cycling goals. I have never ridden a carbon frame or fork that gives the fine, pleasant, comfortable ride under the widest set of condition that steel gives.

Uncertainty For Iraqi Translator After Withdrawal
By editor
For four years, an Iraqi named Tariq worked for the U.S. military as a translator. He's faced death threats from other Iraqis and asked to be identified by only his first name for his protection. Once the troops pulled out of the country, he lost his job and the on-base security that came with it.

It Don't Mean Nuthin
Roger Alan Wade
Warning - this song has the "F" word.
I worked for a radio station in 1972 called KRLN. It was at the University of Texas. A DJ had gone on vacation to Tennessee and had come back with some moonshine. I worked the 12-6 shift so at about three in the morning the DJ asked me if there was anything I wanted him to play. I said the Fish Yell by Country Joe and the Fish from Woodstock.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think he would actually play it. He not only played it but played it twice.
I was surprised no one called up to protest, maybe not too many listeners at three in the morning but it was really cool.
For those sensitive types, there is the "F" word so they may not want to listen to this.

The band's national exposure began in 1973 with the release of their debut album, (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd), which has a string of hits and fan favorites including: "I Ain't the One", "Tuesday's Gone", "Gimme Three Steps", "Simple Man," and their signature song, "Free Bird", which he later dedicated to the late Duane Allman of The Allman Brothers Band.
Classic. Timeless.

Parts from the movie Dirty Dancing with Hungry Eyes
I've been meaning to tell you
I've got this feelin that won't subside
I look at you and I fantasize
You're mine tonight
Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise
I've got hungry eyes
I feel the magic between you and I
I want to hold you so hear me out
I want to show you what love's all about
Darlin tonight
Now I've got you in my sights
Now I've got you in my sights
With these hungry eyes
Now did I take you by surprise
I need you to see
This love was meant to be
He Knew
New video with a spin...
A hero is a man who does what he can. Romain Rolland
This was recorded June 14:th 1951 for Holiday Records. Jackie Brenston did the original a few months earlier,but some people say this version is the first Rock & Roll record. Anyway,this must be one of Bill Haley's earliest rhythm and blues influenced recordings.
The car in the video was equipped with Rocket V-8,Hydra Matic Super Glide,Power Windows,Power Steering,Power Seat,De-Luxe Radio,Autronic Eye,Traffic Light Viewer,Rear Fender Panels and lots of other options.

A cover version by former Beatle George Harrison from his album Cloud Nine reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1988. Produced by Harrison and former ELO member Jeff Lynne, the song was his third and last solo US number one, after "My Sweet Lord" in 1970 and "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" in 1973. It was also the last number one single, to date, by any of the solo Beatles in the United States. As Harrison's third post-Beatles #1 hit in the U.S., he broke a three-way tie among himself, John Lennon and Ringo Starr as ex-Beatles with two #1 solo singles, and moved Harrison into second place behind Paul McCartney's nine #1 songs. Of Harrison's three number one singles in the U.S., it was the only song not written by Harrison and the only one without religious overtones. The single's B-side is "Lay His Head", written by Harrison. The 12" version of the single also adds an extended version of "Got My Mind Set On You".
Two music videos were released for the cover version. The first (directed by Gary Weis) starred a young Alexis Denisof vying for the heart of a girl in an arcade.[1] The second (also directed by Weis), is Harrison sitting and playing in a study. As the song progresses, furniture and knick-knacks (like a stuffed squirrel and mounted warthog) begin to dance along with the song. In the middle of the video, Harrison's stunt double performs a stunning backflip from his chair and follows with a dance routine before jumping back to his seat. The second received significant airplay, and was nominated for three MTV VMAs.
In the UK the single spent four weeks at number two.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. -Rocky Balboa~

"She's About a Mover" sure brings back a lot of memories. Back then, we had Sunday afternoon teen dances and Friday night dances at the park. I can remember doing the Jerk to that song.

I just heard this on the radio near Rolla,MO last week....memories
It's Later than you Think
Wow, that was a major flashback DT! Reminds me of a gal I dated in High School back in the same era.
She was a German/Russian Amazonian blond, about 5'10", long hair, built like the proverbial brick outhouse. Quite the looker but rather shy until I learned what happened when she had That One Can of Beer. All of a sudden that atractive and shy blond would turn into your worst Drunken Pirate Nightmare. She would go beserk and every last inhibition would melt away. She would start singing, pick fights with random passer bys and attempt to mount any object ranging from barnyard animals, street poles, fire hydrants and the stray homeless guy.
After seeing that spectacle I never offered her a second can of beer. The outcome was too frightful to fully contemplate.
Anyway, her absolute favorite band on the entire planet was Badfinger. It was blaring from her room almost 24/7. Went gaga whenever it came on the car radio. For some unknown reason Elk Grove High School Illinois would have the most fantastic rock concerts. I saw Climax Blues Band, Ten Years After, Savoy Brown, Mahagony Rush and a whole host of great acts there.
Guess what? The high school was scheduling Badfinger! I got a pair of tickets and gave them GF on her birthday. She went completely nuts. I was The Man!
So off to the dance, I pick her up and am greeted by a total vision. Her lanky figure was adorned in an utra short short orange hot pants outfit with huge yellow polka dots. I never knew that a pair of legs could reach that high into the sky.
Amidst the crowd at the concert, I had the hottest babe in there.
With all of that said and done I present this Golden Memory,

College Park, MD (Sports Network) - Devonta Freeman carried the ball 16 times for 148 yards and two touchdowns as the 10th-ranked Florida State Seminoles clinched the ACC's Atlantic Division title with a 41-14 victory over the Maryland Terrapins.
EJ Manuel completed 17-of-23 passes for 144 yards, two touchdowns and an interception for the Seminoles (10-1, 7-1 ACC), who captured their second divisional crown in the last three years.
James Wilder Jr. carried the ball eight times for 52 yards and a score for Florida State, which ends the regular season next Saturday against Florida. Rashad Greene and Nick O'Leary each caught a touchdown pass.
Florida State's Dustin Hopkins made two field goals and five extra points to break the NCAA all-time scoring record for a kicker. He came into Saturday's game needing three points to break Boise State kicker Kyle Brotzman's (2007-10) record of 439.
Shawn Petty connected on 8-of-19 passes for 136 yards and two touchdowns for the Terrapins (4-7, 2-5), who have lost five in a row.
Florida State never looked back after scoring a touchdown on its opening possession of the game.
O'Leary's 15-yard catch on 3rd-and-9 set up the Seminoles at the Maryland 45. Faced with a 3rd-and-1 from the six, Wilder Jr. picked up one yard on the ground and Freeman followed with a 5-yard rushing TD to make it 7-0.
"It was huge. I said that earlier in the week - the fact that it was an away game - we wanted to come in here and get a defining drive early in the game. That was it for us," Manuel said.
Levern Jacobs fumbled on the ensuing kickoff and Florida State recovered the ball at the 10-yard line of the Terrapins. O'Leary hauled in a touchdown pass on the next play to make it a 14-point contest.
The Seminoles got the ball in Maryland territory again after Petty fumbled with over three minutes left in the opening period. However, Florida State had to settle for a 26-yard Hopkins field goal on the second play of the second quarter.
Hopkins added a 40-yarder on Florida State's next possession, making it a 20-0 contest.
It was 27-0 at the half after Greene caught a 30-yard TD pass with 1:32 remaining.
Each team scored a touchdown in the third stanza. Kevin Dorsey caught a 33- yard TD pass for Maryland, while Freeman recorded a 2-yard rushing touchdown for Florida State.
"It's true, a bowl is no longer a possibility, but at the same time we're not giving up and you may have noticed through the entire season, we might not be able to put the first half together, but we always come back that second half," Dorsey said. "That's been a testament to the team. We're not going to give up. Regardless of if we're able to go to a bowl, we're going to go out and try to get a fifth win."
Wilder Jr. and Dorsey each recorded touchdowns in the fourth to close out the scoring.
