The home recording thread
Posted 19 November 2012 - 07:15 PM
Entry 1:
On saturday 11/19, Hoagie came over and we recorded a bunch of new stuff in my basement studio . We layered some stuff based on a new bass line, then I added 2 acoustics and hoagie layered some egg shakers...everything was panned hard left and right for a great stereo effect. We had alot of fun but I keep relearning the same painful lesson nearly everytime I record myself on drums,....I NEED A GOOD DRUMMER OR RHYTHM MAKER...without this, stuff can sound really too loose. Unless you want it to sound really loose! I just suck at the drums.
Jeff is our BG drummer extroradinaire, but he can't just dump off Marco tour to lay some beats...What do you do to get around this?
(and drum machines can sound so weak)

Plus it's a bit of a mental exercise trying to translate what you hear and think of into a "grid". Gonna take a bit to get away from "how do I do this" to being creative.

Just kidding!
We may have him come over to re-record the drums, over the click track and drums I laid down....I've also found that I can "hide" errant drum beats by adding a second drum track and doubling it...either pan l or R, or keep it in stereo, adds a cool effect, and helps camofluage the warts! very beatleesque.

I have had tons of fun creating patterns on this thing tonpractice bass to. We could probably use it to create drum tracks till jeff can get into the basement.
Its java based (or flash) so no downloading needed. Try it out!

In the early 90's, I learned how to home- record thru experimenting with a cassette 4-track recorder. It was fun times to record all kinds of noises and sounds and just learn how to layer stuff together. It got me started on a quest for recording! Over the weekend I put these up on the archive (along with a collection I recorded in 2006)
This is the "album" I recorded in 1993. I called it DESERT FATHERS. I play all the instruments.
Then I recorded a follow up "album" also on 4 track cassette recorder in 1995, called DIGITAL DAYDREAM.
Thanks for listening! Let me know your thoughts! Post some of your stuff! Lets hear it and discuss!!

I'ved used all kinds of synth programs to make drum beats. The best one, and the one I go to (I haven't even picked up a guitar in a long while, let alone record anything) is Propellerhead's Reason. You can manipulate teh velocities of the "drum" impacts to give it that natural sound.
The problem with this, and one of the main reasons I stopped making fully songs with percussion, is because the task is tedious and daunting.
I made a whole album in my home studio in 2006.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 07:03 PM
Do you use a tempo ticker when you record? I find it absolutely necessary. If I lay down a guitar track without it, and come back for the drums, it's almost always too sloppy/loose. This also helps if you're laying down drum work from a real kit as opposed to the synthetic route.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 11:21 PM
TASB- let's hear some of your 2006 album!! it can't be any worse than my stuff! please share!
I'll gladly check it out! and no- this thread is not meant to be a spam thread, truly to discuss home recording and share with folks our (collective) efforts.
one problem I have is that I can record a great take on a riff, but its ultimately not in time- then laying drums on top of it inevitably sounds off time...sometimes I will lay down 2 drum tracks (left and right panned) to cover the drum mistakes or timing issues (with mass psychedelia)...click tracks are great for this, but I find it also ruins some of the feel when trying to nail it on the click..
homerecording and all of its challenges is FUN STUFF.

i think 14 days has a huge amount of potential. Hoagie's bass (1 panned hard left, the other panned hard right) is sweet when played at high volumes, blends nicely with the mellow acoustics, sounds like breathing.
A more slow, experimental tune...really diggin this one...

I already think we will have to try a whole new bass track with the 6-string....it sounds WAY different than the 4 string.
Posted 10 January 2013 - 05:54 PM
I'll figure out how to sharea couple of songs I wrote later on. As a disclaimer, I sing in them and I'm no singer. But someone had to do it and when you're your only nearby music friend, well, there it is....
You certainly sound more qualified to sing than anyone in the basement generals!! Lol

"Protein shakes" and other high-protein dietary strategies are believed by some to improve muscle recovery times after workouts. However, there is some opinion to the contrary: that protein intake beyond a normal level does not result in quicker recovery times. Does ingesting huge amounts of protein actually help speed muscle recovery after workouts?
You will find a lot of advice on the Internet about this one, most of it is not demonstrated. This is what the British Journal of Sports Medicine says about it: So, the total amount of protein consumed is not important, the timing is. But this amount is much more smaller what the supplementation guys say. (to view the full article linked above you would have to subscribe for 30 days free). |
There's some contradiction as to what's the most important part: timing, quantity etc. I have found pretty good studies that indicate that the post-workout shake doesn't really make a difference and then there are studies like the one Duopixel quotes that suggest the opposite. There are also many variables even regarding the post-workout shake: with/without carbs, what "type(s)" of protein, what quantity of protein, distance from previous/next meal etc. I think that some things are more or less agreed upon:
I've spoken to 2 sports nutritionists on this very subject over the past year, and both told me that protein is ineffective in post-recovery workouts, that the muscles can't absorb protein after working out. They said to eat a high-protein breakfast instead. They also said that carbs are all that count for recovery, and that you should eat carbs immediately after a workout, and then about 200-250 calories every 2-3 hours afterwards. So far, it's been the most effective nutrition plan for me, as I haven't felt the need to eat everything in sight after a long bike ride or karate workout. Your mileage may vary. |

The McLaren Vale wine region is located less than an hours drive south of Adelaide, along the coastline.
Shiraz is by far the most widely planted variety, and the most important variety for the region, accounting for about 50% of the total crush. Every winery in the region will likely be producing at least one or more Shiraz wines, and with the wide range of unique terroirs available, each influenced by the maritime climate in unique ways, each Shiraz will have its own regional nuances.
Shiraz produced in McLaren Vale will often exhibit chocolate and coffee notes, with a little less pepper than those from Barossa Valley, and are often blended with Grenache. Other red varieties grown include Cabernet Sauvignon (and Merlot blends) Sangiovese, Tempranillo, Petit Verdot, Tannat and Zinfandel. The main white variety would be Chardonnay, however Semillon and it's common blending partner Sauvignon Blanc are made, alongside lesser amounts of Riesling, Pronto Bianco, Vermentino and Fiano.
If you plan to visit McLaren Vale there are over 65 cellar doors so you'll be spoiled for choice, ranging from the small-boutique wineries to very large wineries. The drive from McLaren Vale up to the Barossa Valley is very scenic, passing over the rolling Adelaide Hills, and though the quaint German-settled town of Hahndorf.

Anyone who blames you for using a tactic provided to you by the game is the real scrub. Scrubs are people who can't accept that if they lose it's their fault; they won't learn so instead they bitch about whatever tactics the other guy is using and say it is unfair.
There was a time when an arcade stick was basically completely necessary but games these days are designed with pads in mind so it's all about preference now. I got better instantly when I switched to a stick but if you're better off with a pad that's OK too. The best Skrull player I know (Hi_Im_Nastyy) plays on a fucking Gamestop pad. He cleaned out Chris G with that. Boggles my mind.

Paul Ryan symbolizes for many Republicans of his generation a passing of the torch and a call to embrace the Reagan-era principles that appealed so strongly to young voters in the 1980s.
The Wisconsin congressman evoked both when he took the stage on Wednesday night and delivered a prime-time acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention that skewered what the GOP sees as President Barack Obama's failed economic policies.
With Ryan, 42, holding down the No. 2 spot, the ticket hopes to strengthen his Generation X demographic ahead of November and broaden the campaign's appeal to a wealth of younger voters, a much more challenging prospect.
During his speech, Ryan spoke directly to young voters' economic concerns.
"Millions of young Americans have graduated from college during the Obama presidency, ready to use their gifts and get moving in life. Half of them can't find the work they studied for, or any work at all," Ryan told the crowd. "So here's the question: Without a change in leadership, why would the next four years be any different from the last four years?"
The first Gen Xers were eligible to vote for Ronald Reagan's second term at the height of his popularity and his conservative dogma. Younger voters for Reagan, the oldest U.S. president ever inaugurated, were among his strongest supporters.
It was not known then that Reagan's political aura and his mantra for smaller government and lower taxes would endure well into the next century. Nostalgia for Reagan is powerful. His views remain a litmus test for Republicans seeking national office.
Generation X represents more fertile ground for Republicans in November than younger Millennials of Generation Y who overwhelmingly supported President Barack Obama four years ago. In Ryan, Gen X Republicans see similarities to Reagan and a changing of the guard.
"As a fellow Gen Xer, I'm excited about him and it says a lot," said Dylan Glenn, a former Bush administration economic policy analyst who has been friends with Ryan for nearly two decades.
"There's a pent up demand that it's time for us and Paul represents the tip of that spear so to speak," Glenn said.

Can you call it 'rapid refund' when it's 365 days late?
Category: Business Written by Damon Carr
Tax time is upon us. This is the time when Uncle Sam mandates that we reconcile taxes that were collected throughout the year by way of payroll withholdings and estimated payments to see what's rightfully due to the IRS. Individuals have until April 15 to get their tax return prepared and their tax liability paid or suffer the consequences of penalties, interest and/or the wrath of the IRS.
Many people are eagerly anticipating the largest lump sum check they'll receive the entire year. This check is the result of a tax refund. If you're expecting a large tax refund this year, I'm sure you can't wait to get your W2s, 1099s and all applicable tax forms so that you can file your tax return and get access to your refund. After running up balances on credit cards and/or spending more than what was budgeted for during holidays, a tax refund or a tax rebate of any kind would be appreciated by all.

Bridges on your journey
Category: Business
In your journey through life, you will inevitably be confronted with valleys that appear too precarious and challenging to cross. The valley may suddenly appear as the loss of a loved one, a serious illness, a broken relationship, a financial crisis or some other personal tragedy. Whatever the cause, your normal life comes to a screeching halt and you are left standing on the edge of the valley without a seemingly rational way to get to the other side.
Every person will face what appears to be an impossible challenge or challenges during their lifetime. Fame and fortune do not provide an exemption; just think about the Kennedy family or Michael Jackson or more recently, Tiger Woods. The valleys of life will appear and how you build a bridge across will have a significant impact on the remainder of your journey.

Can an actual sensor engineer shed light on this matter? It's totally useless comparing a dedicated RED video sensor to a dedicated stills photo sensor, the R&D process is completely different. So what if the RED 4K sensor can capture 18 stops of DR? It's only 8 megapixels (4096x2160) for God's sake, I bet it will absolutely SUCK at taking stills photos.
Why you need new Canon sensors like every year? If they pump out something awesome every 5 years im down with that. Would be crap if my new FF purchase would be blown away by next years release.
It is sensor data, and 6D is slightly better than 1dx at base iso regarding DR, 11,5 compared to 11.2

Composer Lera Auerbach was born in the city of Chelyabinsk at the gateway to Siberia. After writing her first opera at twelve years of age, she was invited for a concert tour to the United States in 1991, where continued her studies in piano and composition at the Juilliard School in New York. Auerbach has been awarded the prestigious Hindemith Prize by the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival in Germany, and Deutschlandfunk's Förderpreis. She received a Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship, recently was selected as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland and received the ECHO Klassik award 2012 for The Little Mermaid. A virtuoso pianist and composer, Lera Auerbach is one of today's most sought after and exciting creative voices. Her boldly imaginative and evocative compositions are championed by today's leading musicians, conductors, choreographers, and opera houses. Ms. Auerbach's uniquely personal interpretations of the standard keyboard repertoire are making her a favorite of audiences worldwide. She regularly appears as soloist in the world's great halls, and her published oeuvre includes more than 90 works of opera, ballet, symphonic and chamber music. |

Composer Alfred Schnittke was born on 24 November 1934 in Engels, on the Volga River, then in the Soviet Union. Schnittke began his musical education in 1946 in Vienna where his father, a journalist and translator, had been posted. In 1948 the family moved to Moscow, where Schnittke studied piano and received a diploma in choral conducting. From 1953 to 1958 he studied counterpoint and composition with Yevgeny Golubev and instrumentation with Nikolai Rakov at the Moscow Conservatory. Schnittke completed the postgraduate course in composition there in 1961. In 1962, Schnittke was appointed instructor in instrumentation at the Moscow Conservatory, a post which he held until 1972. Thereafter he supported himself as a composer of film scores; by 1984 he had scored more than 60 films. Noted, above all, for his hallmark "polystylistic" idiom, Schnittke has written in a wide range of genres and styles. His Concerto Grosso No. 1 (1977) was one of the first works to bring his name to prominence. It was popularized by Gidon Kremer, a tireless proponent of his music. Many of Schnittke's works have been inspired by Kremer and other prominent performers, including Yury Bashmet, Natalia Gutman, Gennady Rozhdestvensky and Mstislav Rostropovich. Schnittke first came to America in 1988 for the Making Music Together Festival in Boston and the American premiere of Symphony No. 1 by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He came again in 1991 when Carnegie Hall commissioned Concerto Grosso No. 5 for the Cleveland Orchestra as part of its Centennial Festival, and again in 1994 for the world premiere of his Symphony No. 7 by the New York Philharmonic and the American premiere of his Symphony No. 6 by the National Symphony. Schnittke's first opera, Life with an Idiot, was premiered in Amsterdam (April 1992). His two new operas, Gesualdo and Historia von D. Johann Fausten were unveiled in Vienna (May 1995) and Hamburg (June 1995) respectively. Schnittke has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including Austrian State Prize in 1991, Japan's Imperial Prize in 1992, and, most recently the Slava-Gloria-Prize in Moscow in June 1998. More than 50 compact discs devoted exclusively to his music have been released in the last ten years. Beginning in 1990, Schnittke resided in Hamburg where he died after a stroke in August 1998.

Showing Kindness: Learning from the Example of David
"The Lord bless you for showing this kindness..." - 2 Samuel 2:5
After the death of king Saul and his son Jonathan, David was still in the land of the Philistines when he went to God asked if he should go to Judah, the Lord said "Go" David then asked "Where should I go?"...God's answer was "Hebron". So David took his family and so did all his men and they moved into Hebron, then the men of Judah came and anointed David king over the tribe of Judah. David was told that the men from Jabesh Gilead had buried Saul, he sent messengers to them thanking them for their kindness shown to Saul, he let them know that he would show them the same kindness.
David was anointed by God to be the next king of Israel, he spent the last ten years on the run from king Saul who wanted him dead. David mourns Saul's death along with the death of his best friend Jonathan. When you read David's lamentation of king Saul it leads us to believe that Saul was a good man, David's words are so kind. Those unaware of the terrible selfish king that Saul truly was would never know on reading David's lament.
David's reaction to Saul's death is such an example for us, his humility paints a beautiful canvas on how to deal with our enemies and how the trials we face and the hurt our hearts experience, are all things that force us to grow in Christ-likeness. With every trial we face, either we grow or stop growing.
David asks God if he should go to Judah, he does not say "So dude, where do I go to get my kingdom? I am the anointed king right?". David wants to be in God's will, he knows that God has a plan for him and that all will fall into place in God's time. David has waited ten years, what is one more day? or year? If only there was a way for us to sync up our patience with God's timing life would be less complicated. There is one thing we often do, we ask God "why", why is this taking so long? We ask why God has us where He has us, when we should be asking 'what' does He want us to do. When God tells David to go to Hebron David does not ask Him "why?".
When David sends word to the men of Jabesh Gilead, it's not a courtesy move, it is David caring for them. Keep in mind that for ten years Saul has tried to kill David, now the men from Jabesh Gilead have risked their lives to rescue the body of Saul and given him a burial. Anyone looking at the situation might think that David who was now the king of the tribe of Judah would see that as an act of disrespect, yet David sees their kindness and vows to protect them from the Philistines who killed Saul.
People watch us, from the coffee shop barista to the person in line behind us at the grocery store, we might only be in their lives for a few minutes, but how we treat the cashier is seen, to placing that nameless divider thing down to wishing them a good day. When aware that others are looking we try to act as our best self, or at least the best version we can come up with. When no one is around we have to look at our true self.
I know that my true self is where I tend to hold all the bad I hide from the world, those areas that need work on and the others I have not given to the Lord the way I should have. When I look at myself and see unwanted things that are gathering up dust, what I should see is me giving those to God, putting them in His hands. So often that is not what happens, but I am a work in progress -- an imperfect heart who is in love with a perfect loving God.
Showing kindness might be hard at times, but the person receiving only sees the act of kindness not all the work that is happening behind the scenes. Showing kindness should not be like looking at old pairings of moments we once had; it needs to be ever recent, to the point that we smell like paint.
Our acts of kindness seen or unseen are the many colors, while a heavenly hand holds the brush used to paint us.
When have you been the recipient of an act of kindness? When have you performed an act of kindness for someone else? What do you feel you got out of these experiences?

Of Cartels and Cobras
Frederick Forsyth is a master of the international crime and espionage genre. The English novelist burst upon the scene in 1971 with his iconic and defining work, The Day of the Jackal, and followed it up with best-selling blockbusters like The Odessa File, The Dogs of War, Icon, the The Fist of God, and several others. All of these works are fictionalized dramatizations of very real global issues or events. As tremendous as his novels are, in my view, his finest work is found in his shorter stories and novelettes, with tales like The Emperor and Whispering Wind remaining on my perpetual "re-read" list.

Saturday's NHL Picks - February 18 | Tweet |
Written by Anthony Lancione | |||
Friday, 17 February 2012 21:07 | |||
Short schedule from which to select my card this week, but nonetheless there are certainly some beauts that are ripe for the picking! Last week, I presented you my picks just after a brisk skate down the Rideau Canal, during my road trip to Ottawa from Toronto to see the Sens/Leafs contest lopsided pounding. Toronto thoroughly obliterated their provincial rivals in each and every facet of the game except SOG. However on that note, Optimus Reim was so in the zone that even a 49 shot barrage was converted into a goose egg, as the Leafs took it to the very team they are closest to chasing by a 5-0 score. Anyhow, despite correctly predicting the Leafs road win, I shockingly went with ALL 6 road victories last week for the 1st time in history, 3 of which came through. So all things considering not a bad week at all! Anyhow, lets dig into this week's slate!....

EMCC softball team swept at 12th-ranked Mississippi Gulf Coast in season opener |
PERKINSTON – The East Mississippi Community College softball team ran into a hard-hitting Mississippi Gulf Coast squad Wednesday afternoon, as the preseason 12th-ranked Lady Bulldogs swept the visiting Lady Lions, 8-0 and 8-1, in EMCC's season debut.
In Wednesday's opener, Gulf Coast's Linsey Dickerson tossed a five-inning no-hitter against EMCC. The Lady Bulldog hurler fanned nine batters and allowed only one walk during her shutout victory. Lady Lion freshman Amy Johnson took the loss in her collegiate debut. In the nightcap, the Lady Lions managed six hits off MGCCC starter Bayleigh Babin but could only plate a fifth-inning run. Former Southeast Lauderdale High School standout Lainie Simcox led off the fifth with a double and came around to score on a triple by former Clarkdale product Courtney Castleberry. Lady Lion freshman Cory Roberson, also a former Clarkdale performer, had a pair of singles in the second contest, while fellow Clarkdale alum Jessie Clark and New Hope's DeShuni Sanders each added singles for the visitors. Freshman Lillian Lindsey, of Central Academy, earned the second-game loss for the Lady Lions. Head coach Kate Neely's 0-2 EMCC Lady Lions return to action on Wednesday (Feb. 16) with a road doubleheader against Hinds Community College in Raymond. |

Larry French promised me that he would send Todd Baesen to announce that Macresarf1 had finally posted his review of Simon Callow's HELLO AMERICANS, at Epinions.com. Baesen was seen last night in the Martini Bar at the Metreon with the mysterious Viktor Kleinhaagen, being plied with cheese and wine by an attractive blonde.
The rumor is that they had been to see FUR, the new Nicole Kidman film, in which Sinful Davy Thomson has an interest.
Anyway, here's Macresarf1's URL:
No telling where Baesen is. Probably slumped over the bar at the Ha-Ra Club.

2. | cock-block | ||
interupting on a buddy or someone while he is trying to get with a girl Wow, that guy is being a real cock-block.
1. | Cock-block | ||
1. (n.) A result of a friend, stranger, or acquaintance making sexual relations or intercouse impossible (by accident or purposely) with a member of the same or opposite sex.
2. (v.) To make the act of having sexual relations with a member of the same or opposite sex impossible (by accident or on purpose.) 1.

2. "Last night I saw James tryin' to hook up wit Jenny and he knows I like her! So, before she left wit him to the other room, I told her that he has Herpes. Next time I talk to him I'm sure he gonna wanna kick my ass for cock-blocking him." |
3. | Cock-block | ||
Anyone or anything that gets in the way of you getting some. The cock-block can be male,female, or inanimate. Many cock-blocks can't get any themselves so they try to stop somebody else. If they ain't scorin' nobody's scorin'. No scene is too embarassing in their undying quest to prevent your action. If your buddy's a cockblock don't bring him or her. 1. My old boss, Bob is such a cock-block. He won't let any of us guys chat with the female employees.

5. | cock-block | ||
when you are gonna get some, but then something stops you.. getting cock-blocked is when your cock gets blocked from getting any.. ex. my mom walked in on me and stopped me from tappin that
6. | cock-block | ||
An action hindering another person's progress. Commonly referenced as a sexually related progress but not exclusively related to just sexual affairs. From the European native art of cock-blocking. "Kalk-block" My broski really cock-blocked me today by not calling me back in due time. Matt is a real cock-block, he didn't give me a phone number to a potential customer in time! Richards can be a real cock-block at times, he never includes me in his important stories! My brosef was not answering my text messages--he was acting like a real cock-blocking son of a bitch!

Somerset School Board (Photo by Judy D.J. Ellich / February 5, 2013) |
In a 7-0 vote Tuesday, the Somerset school board rejected a tax appeal settlement proposal from the owner of Hidden Valley Resort.
The Buncher Co., the company that bought Hidden Valley in 2007, had been asking for a refund of $1,496,417 it paid in real estate taxes to the school district, Jefferson Township and Somerset County from 2009 to 2012, according to court documents.
The exact terms of the proposed settlement were not disclosed.
The Buncher Co. bought Hidden Valley properties for $12,000,435. The company contested the value of the property in 2008 to the three-member Board of Assessment Appeals, which is appointed by the Somerset County commissioners. The company argued that the assessment should be based on the sales price, which is more indicative of the fair market value of the property, rather than an assessment based in 1998, when the last county reassessment was performed, according to court documents. The company's request was denied. The board maintained the assessed value of $9,478,860.
The assessed value of a property in Somerset County is half of the market value.
"Each individual property since (1998) is assessed at that amount, unless there have been changes to the property such as improvements, demolitions or catastrophic losses," chief assessor Jane Rizzo said. "Those changes are reflected in the assessment from the time they occurred."
Anyone can request that the assessment board re-value their property, she said. The request must be made by Sept. 1 for the following year's taxes. If the board denies the request, an owner can appeal that decision to the courts.
In August The Buncher Co. asked for a trial in Somerset County court on appeals filed in 2009 and 2010, based on its July 2012 appraisals of the properties that put the market value of the resort and surrounding property at $5,041,000, according to court documents. The Pittsburgh-based company did not do an appraisal of Hidden Valley when it bought it in 2007 or when it filed its first assessment appeal in 2008, according to court documents.
The company proposed the settlement on Jan. 18.
Somerset County and Jefferson Township must also decide whether to accept the company's settlement proposal before the next step in the case is clear, according to school district solicitor William Carroll. The Buncher Co. has asked for the case to be listed on the April civil trial term.
According to court documents, the company is seeking $1,092,459 from the Somerset Area School District, $283,908 from the county and $120,050 from the township.
The school board rejected the settlement proposal following a one hour and 24 minute executive session Tuesday night. The school board also unanimously agreed to retain the services of Hotel and Leisure Advisors Appraisal and Consulting Services of Cleveland in regard to the pending appeal, with the cost to be prorated among the three taxing bodies. The board voted to engage the Somerset law firm of Fike, Cascio & Boose to provide consultation services as needed to the Carroll Law Offices on the case, at the discretion of the board.
No one from The Buncher Co. attended the meeting. Board members Jon Critchfield and Chuck Olson were also absent.

Thirty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africas District 9 as the worlds nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United, a private company uninterested in the aliens welfare they will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens awesome weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA. The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe, contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.
First their home world becomes uninhabitable, and now they are forced to live in south africa, fuck and i thought i had it bad
now that i know whats going on i can't wait to see this

Man Vs. Woman
It is funny how many people think men have it easier than women.Sure women have babies. They also have periods. But so many tasks fall on men. Men often have to work harder than women. You also have women avoiding certain jobs at work because they are women.Women can have multiple orgasms. But guys typically find their orgasm much earlier in life.Which has it easier, men or women?

When 'no' isn't enough
Dixon woman hopes her case raises awareness of stalking law
DIXON – Stylist Chelsey Raines' nightmare began a year and a half ago, when a man whose hair she cut became her stalker.
Their encounters were harmless at first. The two would talk about things such as bird-watching or their plans for the day.
Soon, he started leaving her larger tips, and gifts – like a laptop computer, an expensive coat, and gifts for her son. He sent flowers, and called her cellphone constantly.

The Milwaukee Brewers have one of the better offensive teams in the National League. they also had one of the worst starting rotations in the league last year. General Manager Doug Melvin said he would improve the pitching staff in the off season and he certainly has done that. Randy Wolf, Latroy Hawkins and now Doug Davis are certainly an upgrade on what they are replacing. Wolf and Davis can be those inning eaters that can save a bullpen and anything that keeps Jeff Suppan out of the starting rotation is addition by subtraction. Pitchers & catchers report to Maryvale in a month. The Brewers have improved themselves in the off-season...let's get going!
The Bucks started the 12 game run-up to the All-Star break with a win over Toronto last night. Another double-double for Andrew Bogut. The signing of Jerry Stackhouse is a good one. He can create his own shot but will also share the ball. For 15-20 minutes a game he can help.
Wausau West plays at Spash tonight in high school hockey at KB Willet. The Panthers are coming off a win over #1 ranked Green Bay Notre Dame...Let's see if they've narrowed the gap since West hammered them earlier this season.
Songs of The Day
Don't Hang Up-10cc (1976) the last Lp with the talented original lineup of Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme. Literate English Pop music and great LP cover art.
Don't Give Up-Peter Gabrial (1986) from the commercially successful 'SO" cd. It's a duet with the underappreciated Kate Bush who released some very interesting stuff in the late 70s and early 80's.

In addition to 'Anarchism and Other Essays' by Emma Goldman and 'The Concorde Story' (7th ed.) by Christopher Orlebar, I'm still working my through the tales of Edgar Allen Poe. Of his stories I've read thus far my favourites are:
'The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall' (to the moon in a hot air balloon!)
'The Thousand-and-Second Tale of Scheherazade' (by which I was necessarily also introduced to the delightful framing tale of 'Arabian Nights')
'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' (the absurd explanation for the crime presented in this, the 'birth of the detective genre', caught me quite by surprise and renders the tale forever memorable)
'The Purloined Letter'
'The Fall of the House of Usher'
'The Black Cat'
'The Island of the Fay' (a rare and beautiful written expression of an apparent - but only, of course, apparent - stream of whimsical consciousness)
'The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether' (is this the origin of the phrase 'the lunatics are running the asylum'?)
'How to Write a Blackwood Article' and 'A Predicament' (ah, humour, something I'd not expected from Poe. I'm not sure I'll ever forget the name, manner or fate of one Miss Psyche Zenobia.)
'The Business Man' (I like to think of this as a wry commentary on American values)
'Mellonta Tauta' (one-thousand years into the future and still we use hot-air balloons! Also I am indebted to Mr. Poe for his delightful characterisation herein of induction and deduction as respectively the methods of the Hog and the Ram)
