Shepherd, James Edward
26 July 1847–7 Feb. 1910
James Edward Shepherd, jurist, was born at Mintonville, near Suffolk, Va., the son of Thomas S. Shepherd. Orphaned at age ten, he was placed under the care of his brother, William S. Shepherd, and attended school in Murfreesboro, N.C. In 1861, although only fourteen, he attached himself to the Sixteenth Virginia Regiment and served as a "marker" for the regiment. Later he became a military telegraph operator and served in West Virginia and in Wilson, N.C.
In 1867 and 1868 Shepherd studied law at The University of North Carolina. After being licensed in 1868, he practiced first in Wilson and then in Washington, N.C. He served as a member of the constitutional convention of 1875 and the next year became chairman of the Inferior Court of Beaufort County. Between 1882 and 1888 he was a superior court judge. Elected to the North Carolina Supreme Court in 1888, Shepherd was appointed chief justice in 1892 following the death of the incumbent, Augustus S. Merrimon. He served in that position until 1895, when he was defeated for reelection. The University of North Carolina, where he taught law for eight summer terms, awarded him an honorary LL.D. degree in 1889.
In 1871 Shepherd married Elizabeth Bowen Brown of Washington, Beaufort County. They resided in Raleigh after he became a member of the supreme court. An Episcopalian, a Democrat, and a Freemason, he was buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Raleigh. His portrait hangs in the North Carolina Supreme Court.

Treaty 8 Regional andProvincial Organizations
Video Clips
The terms of Treaty 8 encompass a large area of northwestern Canada and therefore affect many people in that region. While the treaty itself is over 100 years old, there is a diverse range of issues that remain as important today as they were at the time of the negotiations and signing. Some of these issues revolve around concerns over land claims, treaty rights, jurisdiction, the development and encroachment of industry on treaty lands, as well as the social and economic implications the treaty continues to have on those peoples that adhered to it over 100 hundred years ago. Here we would like to share with you a glimpse into some of these issues in an attempt to broaden perspectives and challenge your thoughts.

How to Hack Linux Computer Just with Backspace Key ? Are you using a Linux Operating system on your machine, if yes then this is must read tutorial. Security researchers from University of Valencia has recently discovered a bug in most of Linux distributions that anyone can bypass any Linux authentication during boot up process by just pressing backspace key 28 times. Yes you read it right, just by pressing backspace key 28 times on startup login window will allow you to bypass authentication process i.e. Hack Linux operating system. Let read more about it.
What's the actual bug which allows Hacking of Linux Boot Authentication process?
Actually the bug is not in Kernel nor in Operating system itself, bug lies in Grub2. Yes you read it right its in Grand Unified Bootloader, which is used by most Linux systems to boot the operating system when the PC starts. Grub 2 has integer underflow vulnerability, which affects the grub_password_get() function. This allows hackers to bypass the usual authentication process of Linux Computers which used Grub2 as boot loader. Now let's learn how hackers can exploit this vulnerability to get complete access of you Linux Machine.
How to Hack Linux using this vulnerability?
How Hacker's can exploit Grub2 Vulnerability to get access of your Linux Computer?
If you are using Linux Operating System and your Linux Distribution is using GRUB version from 1.98 to 2.02 then your machine is vulnerable to this backspace bug.
In order to test this, Just hit the backspace key 28 times at the Grub username prompt during power-up. This will open a "Grub rescue shell". This rescue shell allows unauthenticated access to a computer and the ability to load another environment.
From this shell, an attacker could gain access to all the data on your computer, and can misuse it to steal or delete all the data, or install persistent malware or rootkit on your Linux Machine.
How to protect your Linux Computer from this Vulnerability?
Grub2 Backspace Vulnerability affects all distributions which are published since December 2009 to present date, but older Linux distribution versions are not affected by this bug.
Also most of the famous Linux distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat has already released an emergency patch to fix this GRUB 2 Vulnerability. You can download patch from below:
- Ubuntu
- Red Hat Linux
- Debian
- Others (released by researchers) for all distributions.
We all know Linux is still considered as most secured operating system but its also prone to bugs, so always keep yourself updated and never believe in myth's that Linux cannot be hacked.
I hope you all have enjoyed our tutorial on "How to Hack Linux System using Backspace Key". Keep Learning !! Keep Connected !!

You've never heard of Jimmy Van Heusen? Well, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers has. You certainly know many of his songs, says Brook Babcock, Van Heusen's grandnephew and president of his publishing company.
"There's 330,000 songwriters listed with ASCAP. Van Heusen, as far as his catalog, is probably within the Top 20. That's a pretty good number," Babcock says. "Yes, he's not as known as Cole Porter, Ira Gershwin, George Gershwin, but when you put that name out there — Jimmy Van Heusen — to be in that Top 20 is, to me, pretty significant."
The songwriter behind "Swinging on a Star," "Love and Marriage," "Come Fly with Me" and "My Kind of Town" won four Academy Awards and one Emmy for his work; he would have been 100 today. Jimmy Van Heusen was born Edward Chester Babcock and grew up in Syracuse, N.Y., where he was a terrible student but a born entertainer.
"I don't think there's a school in Syracuse that I didn't attend," he told an interviewer on Armed Forces Radio in the 1960s. "And I was usually unceremoniously expelled."
Among his crimes: a suggestive performance at a high-school assembly.
"I chose, for my song, 'My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes,' " he said. "It was written by Yip Harburg, and I just copied it off the air. But it went, 'Since making whoopee became all the rage / It's gotten round to the old birdcage / And my canary's got circles under his eyes.' ... It was the biggest laugh! You never heard 2,000 kids laugh so hard!"
Babcock took his pen name from the dress-shirt brand Phillips-Van Heusen. He made his way to New York, where Harold Arlen gave him a shot to write for the Cotton Club revue. Cab Calloway was the first to record a Van Heusen song.
A few years later, Van Heusen wrote a big hit for Benny Goodman, "Darn That Dream." Bing Crosby heard it and brought Van Heusen to California, where the composer began a successful collaboration with lyricist Johnny Burke.
In Hollywood, Van Heusen became known as a man about town. Even though he wasn't conventionally handsome, he always had a beautiful woman on his arm. And, Brook Babcock says, he threw great parties.
"His house was always open, his bar was always open," Babcock says. "Even when he was not home, people could go over to his house and basically let their hair down, so to speak, and take it easy."
But Babcock says Van Heusen had another side. During World War II, while writing songs for Hollywood movies, he was also doing dangerous work as a fighter test pilot.
"He would work from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m., five days a week, going over to the Lockheed plant, flying these airplanes on behalf of the Air Force," Babcock says. "And then, from 2 o'clock onward, he was writing songs."
Singer Michael Feinstein says Van Heusen was a man of contradictions, both in his life and in his music.
"He was a real partier, and yet the romance in his songs is something that came from another part of him, because I would not say that in life he was a romantic guy," Feinstein says. "I mean, he didn't get married until the age of 56 — that was the first time he got married! But then here he is, writing all these songs like 'Darn That Dream' and 'Polka Dots and Moonbeams' and 'Love and Marriage' and 'The Tender Trap' and 'All the Way.' And I don't think that he actually believed in those songs, you know? But he knew how to express what people wanted to believe in."
One of Van Heusen's partying pals was Frank Sinatra, and when the partnership with Johnny Burke came to an end, Sinatra helped pair the composer with lyricist Sammy Cahn. Together, they wrote a remarkable 76 songs for the crooner.
"The thing I find fascinating about them," Feinstein says, "is that Sinatra is famous for changing lyrics and switching around things in songs to make them his own, but he never changed anything in the Van Heusen-Cahn songs."
Sinatra and Van Heusen were such good friends that, at times, they roomed together. Chuck Granata, who has produced several Sinatra reissues, says Van Heusen was Sinatra's confidant when the singer was breaking up with Ava Gardner.
"He was the one that saw Frank Sinatra's desperation," Granata says. "When you you think about the underlying subtext of songs like 'Only the Lonely' and 'No One Cares,' which were Van Heusen melodies, I think Van Heusen was able to distill the raw emotion that he saw in Frank in that mid- to late-1950s period and really bring it out in those recordings and those songs."
When Jimmy Van Heusen died, he was buried in the Sinatra family plot.
"There were two people who were nonfamily members who Sinatra wanted near him through eternity," Granata says. "[The first was] his longtime friend, bodyguard and very close companion, Jilly Rizzo, and the second was Jimmy Van Heusen. And I think that's the ultimate tribute, really. That really speaks volumes about Sinatra's admiration and adoration for those two people."
Jimmy Van Heusen was 77 when he died. His headstone reads, "Swinging on a Star."

set clock_format <text>
The client uses strftime(3) to create the system clock (%T on your status bar or $Z).
When this variable is unset (the default) the strftime value used to create the clock is either "%R" if set clock_24hour is ON or "%I:%M%p" if it is OFF.
When this variable is set, the client uses this value as the strftime value used to create the clock, and disregards the value of set clock_24hour.
The system clock is updated every set clock_interval seconds when cpu saver mode isn't active. The default interval is 60 seconds, so putting seconds in your clock format won't buy much unless you lower your clock interval.

Our teeny tiny car came in handy today as we took one of our favorite road trips high up into the mountains behind the port town of Chora Sfakia, where we are staying on Crete's southern shore. We were headed to Anopoli, another small town, and then on to Aradena, a virtually abandoned township a couple of kilometers beyond it. Come along for the ride, but buckle up – this isn't for white knucklers:
We were heading into the south coast's rugged and beautiful interior country; a haven for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts.
We limited our 'hiking' to a stroll through the olive groves that surround Anopoli, – once such a bustling place that it minted its own coins – today, it is a starting point for a number of hiking trips. Two kilometers further down the narrow road we crossed the Vardinogiannis Bridge, a single span of wooden beams and steel frame some 138 meters, or 455 feet above the Aradena Gorge. Just wide enough for our teeny, tiny car!
Cars cross the bridge slowly, almost hesitantly, the majority are driven by tourists who venture here – either sightseeing or en route to do some hiking into the gorge. The noise that reverberates throughout the area when a car crosses those beams sounds similar to a series of explosions re-echoing through the gorge.
The gorge is not only popular with hikers, but the bridge – according to the guidebooks – is a popular bungie jumping point – and holds the distinction of being the highest such point in Greece. (No thank you!)
Those two highlighted spots on the right of the photo above are parts of the trail that leads into the gorge. I have to admit that once again we wish we had packed shoes suitable for hiking. . .as these gorges are far too inviting. (And for you 'boomer' travelers out there: a majority of the hikers we've seen here sport varying shades of gray or white hair so there really are no excuses for not hitting the trail!)
There's a lone cafe to the side of the bridge and on its menu was "mountain tea with honey'. We've seen that in rural areas and finally gave in to curiosity. . .and now are hooked on this magnificent tea made from plants/herbs/flowers gathered from the upper reaches of the area's White Mountains or Lefka Ori, It is served with a hearty dollop of locally made honey.
Crete's White Mountains |
We'll head a bit further west on this southern coast of Crete, overlooking the Libyan Sea when we hop the ferry on Friday to Loutro for Easter weekend. Sorry we've not had the time to tell you more about the places we've been but we are trying to keep you along in real time and we've been on the move for the last week. I'll fill in some of the gaps when we are back home and basking in the afterglow of the trip.
Hope you'll stay with us as we move on after Easter to . . . well, we don't know where we are going after the weekend.
Linking up today with Budget Travelers Sandbox, Travel Photo Thursday.

This album is the stereo version of the multichannel sound installation presented at the VKS gallery in Toulouse (France) in June 2005.
« In June 2005, I created a sound installation for the VKS Galery in Toulouse. All the sounds used in this piece were recorded in the basement of my apartment building in Nantes: pipe sounds, electrical buzzes, neons, draughts, reverberation, air pipes, ventilating fans, etc. This piece was presented in the basement of the galery, a dark vaulted cellar at the bottom of steep narrow stairs. The sound was broadcast – very loud – on a multichannel sound system composed of four loudspeakers set in each corner and one subwoofer set in the centre of the room. It took a few minutes to get used to the darkness. My father left my mother that summer. My son Sol was born on the 16th Feb. 2006. The basement in my parents' house was flooded during a big storm. Ten inches of water got the best of all the paintings and drawings from my late teens that I had kept stored there for years. Nothing was left but shapeless heaps of ashenlike material. Nothing was visible anymore, but I was able to save a few pieces set at the top. I stored it all in plastic waterproof boxes, except a few pieces I took back home with me. Some objects, drawings and a small painting of a face – untitled and undated (probably made around 1991). I didn't like that painting back then and had left it unfinished. Now, it's hanging in the corridor of my flat. The material presented on this CD is a stereo version of the piece presented at the VKS Galery in June 2005 ».

Freedom Is Obedience
Only through perfect obedience will you achieve freedom. Freedom from the terrible burden of free will, which means we are responsible for our choices and the consequences of those choices. Freedom from self-doubt, from the fear of failure. Freedom from loneliness, as you join others seeking the same nirvana. God promises eternal life, God is the superhero buddy that's always on your side, God's love will take away fear and pain and give you perfect happiness.
For K-Lo, it's a no-brainer. (Literally.) The only kind of freedom she wants is the freedom to give away her rights as an individual and take away the individual rights of others for their own good. For authoritarians, just as goodness is obedience, freedom is obedience. If God gives us liberty we will never truly be free because our freedom depends on the indulgence of God. But K-Lo, bless her heart, never sees the contradiction in her words. If God gave us free will he wants us to have the right to make our own choices instead of being forced to obey him.
But in K-Lo's interpretation of her religion, our only purpose in life is to worship God by demonstrating absolute obedience to his will. Therefore anything that interferes with absolute obedience is abridging her freedom to be obeisant to her god. It is impossible to find common ground politically with such a person because they feel they are standing on consecrated ground and you are trying to drag them to hell.

Is World Without End any good?
- January 5, 2013 at 6:15 PM
It's not as good as Pillars of the Earth, but it's entertaining. I enjoy Follet's historical novels for their immersive qualities (I'm no historian, so I can't vouch for their accuracy), but World Without End definitely feels more soap opera-ish than Pillars. Maybe I'm just older, and more critical, or maybe Pillars was just as pulpy, but the plot turns in World are a bit more obvious in coming, and about halfway through I started feeling a bit stupid for enjoying it all so much.
It's a lot of fun, but go in knowing that's it's pulp fun disguised as literary fun. - January 5, 2013 at 10:11 PM

She's so authoritarian she cannot conceive of another way to live, and does not truly respect any other way to live but her own extremely conservative version of Catholicism. Most of the time I find her annoying and idiotic, but there are times I pity her. She is a lonely, unhappy person... and determined to make everyone else the same way.

And yet, if she is like the very religious people I've met, she is certain she is happy because "god loves her." She thinks that empty feeling inside comes from not being good enough to feel all of god's love, which means not obedient
The Catholic Church tells its followers that the only route to happiness is through Christ. Follow him, obey him, live through him. Think of god at all times. Sex exists to create god's children, everything good in life is god's gift, everything bad in life comes from putting your own wants before god's wants. Catholics deal with this by ignoring what they don't like so they can stay in the community. Hypocrisy and turning a blind eye are inevitable although K-Lo is so mindless such manipulation a are unnecessary. - January 6, 2013 at 8:21 AM

And amusingly enough, the parts of the New Testament referring to money are distorted and/or ignored. They don't suit authoritarian worship.

The problem with K-Lo's thinking is that you end up surrenduring yourself to the ones who set themselves as the intermediaries between humanity and the alleged deity.

K-Lo, the Anchoress, and Maggie Gallagher comprise what I call the Holy Trinity of Embittered Catholic Conservative Women.
It's not enough for them that they feel that way, but that they presume to scold the rest of us to feel that way too.

It's wrong to pick on children but if she's smart enough to graduate Magna Cum Laude she's smart enough to realize that she's working for conservative propaganda organs. - January 8, 2013 at 9:14 AM
Wait. Sipp E. Cupp is already the younger, cuter McArdle. At best, the new kid is a younger, cuter Sipp E.
Which...gee whiz...it seems like Sipp E appeared just last week. They don't give their poster girls very long before the next one shows up do they? - January 8, 2013 at 4:32 PM

If libertarian art were any good, the free market would reward it.
The same goes for all Koch dogma and conservative loss-leaders like Weekly Standard and National Review. They cannot succeed on their merits, so they have Wingnut Welfare. They believe they're bold, rugged individualists; they're shills and neofeudalists.

I love their dilemma. They are libertarians because they want to be cool. That is, they want to be free of authoritarian control. They rant about the same thing as social conservatives because they are reflexively anti-liberal but unlike conservatives they see no reason why they should publicly conform to tribal boundaries.
They think they are leaders because they flaunt tribal rules but making up a fictional political class to legitimize your tribal transgressions is hopelessly authoritarian. They want to make their own rules, follow their own moral code, create their own art, gain power and influence through their own political action but they can't.
The rules, morals, art (propaganda), power and influence on their side is controlled by the wealthy, for the wealthy's very own benefit. This is why the followers chose that side to begin with; it was the side of the rich and powerful and they hoped to benefit from their proximity to all that money, safety, acceptance, admiration.
But being a follower means that their art, politics, entertainment, and religion must be tailored to help the leaders, not the followers. They have broken free of the followers' rules but they will never be able to break away from their leaders' rules, unless they were to abjure their position in the group.
They don't understand--they never understood--that they don't make the rules, they just enforce them.
So Julie Borowski wants libertarians to hurry up and gain power over the dominant liberal culture by creating libertarian culture, which will somehow immediately become popular. More Dennis Millers and Judd Aaptows and Atlas Shrugged!
But "art" is the creation of a connection from the artist to the viewer. The artist attempts to express his own emotional/intellectual life through his work and the viewer interprets the work through his own emotional/intellectual prism. Art tells us who we were, who we are, who we can be. Propaganda tells us who or what we must be, for the benefit of the propagandist. And it will never be cool. - January 9, 2013 at 10:05 AM
I've never understood why these "libertarians" end up shilling for conservatives. it seems like they are at the core conservatives, but they can't stand to be uncool, so they fall for the rebranding of conservative ideas as "libertarian". talk about being a brain-washed follower...

You could make that comment about libertarians, art and propaganda into its own post. (I assume you're reading Roy Edroso's stuff, too – he's been writing quite a bit again on conservatives trying to claim pop culture and all that.)
Libertarians have the mentality of feudal lords; they scream about the tyranny of the king, because he might interfere with their "freedom" to oppress the serfs.

Men generally care less about fitting in, there probably isn't as much pressure to conform, and their male peers likely don't judge them as harshly for being "different."

Why isn't there a zombie movie about Jesus' death? According to the bible, graves opened up and the dead walked the earth. Then Jesus rose from the dead too, but with his brains intact evidently. It could be like The Expendables, with apostles instead of commandos.

Batacchio, I hadn't read his last two posts yet when I wrote this but I was thinking on the same wavelength because I had just read and almost wrote about Ashley McGuire's post as well. Whenever women write about the good old days of pre-feminism they always imagine themselves with most of the advantages and few of the disadvantages. She seems to think men treated women with more respect in the old days, instead of taking advantage of their lack of legal and economic power.
Nothing will give them the certainty that they want; Maggie Gallagher fights gay marriage because she wants to know that if she gets knocked up the man will be forced to marry and stay with her. She ignores the fact that a man could just walk away in the old days as well. Respect was only given to women who were considered equals and superiors, and often not even then. How many men who acted respectfully to their wives in public behaved differently in private? She also has no idea how condescending men used to be to all women, including intelligent women. You haven't lived until you've had to sit and listen to men define words for you during conversations.

Fertile ground! Plenty of material for everyone!
You haven't lived until you've had to sit and listen to men define words for you during conversations.
Ouch. Things haven't changed that much from Jane Austen's era. (Did you see that piece on mansplaining where the author had a man lecture her about her own book?!?)
One thing that really irks me is when I think I'm having a conversation, and it turns out the other person wants it to be a lecture… especially when it's from a position of comparative ignorance. Sometimes the problem is that the lecturer is essentially refighting some contention with another person… (But gender issues add a whole other dynamic. Maddow gets that crap all the time, too.) If it's a discussion, a conversation, it's not about "winning" or posturing… I would like to think that I've rarely been guilty of that crap. Geekdom should be pure, friendly and inclusive!
(Ah, I see you've written a new piece on this stuff…) - January 11, 2013 at 12:01 AM

This is a guest contribution by Skellie Wag.
Every blog has a design. Whether it's a beautifully put together custom job, a WordPress theme, a template or something frankensteined together with a vague knowledge of HTML and CSS.
Most of us are not web designers, and because of this, the design of our blogs can end up being a thorn in our side.
We want to make changes, but don't know how. We'd like a better logo (or simply to have a logo at all), but aren't sure how to get one. We know our header image is a little ugly. But what to do about it?
Finding designers for smallish jobs like making tweaks to a blog theme, designing a new header, or adding an email form can be a little tricky. It involves working with a designer who is willing to take on a small job, who fits with our budget, is friendly, communicative, and does work in a style that we like. That's a lot of criteria to fulfill!
Because finding someone like this seems tough, many bloggers will overlook necessary design updates, or try to do it themselves. If you've ever stayed up until the wee hours trying to make one small change to your blog's layout, only to mess up everything on the page, you're not alone.
My life as a blogger became much easier when I realised that there are several places where you can get small design changes done at a good price, by good people. I'll dig into these options below, examining the pros and cons of each. Next time you need design work done on your blog, you may consider using one of these options.
1. Elance
How it works
You write an outline for your job, and list a budget. Freelancers will write proposals for why they are the best person to do the job, and will 'bid' a price for completion.
Because each job generally receives bids from multiple freelancers, there is downward pressure on pricing as freelancers compete to win the job. Working with freelancers from Elance tends to be affordable. Because there are hundreds of thousands of freelancers working through Elance, you are likely to have a rich selection of proposals for your job.
Because Elance is highly competitive for freelancers, many try to speed up the process of submitting multiple proposals by submitting generic copy and paste messages. In some cases, the freelancer may not have properly read the details of the job proposal.
Because the quality of a freelancer's work is not approved prior to joining Elance, quality varies.
The verdict
If going through Elance, take the time to do due diligence on any freelancer you are considering hiring. Make sure you're willing to devote some time to go through the multiple proposals your job is likely to receive.
2. oDesk
How it works
Browse freelancer profiles listing their hourly rate, skills, and the number of hours worked through oDesk. Alternatively, you can post your job and budget and receive applications from oDesk's freelance community.
You can pick and choose a freelancer whose work you like, whose hourly rate you like, and who has a great reputation on oDesk. Alternatively, you can post a job and receive applications (much like on Elance.com).
If you post your job to oDesk, you'll have a volume of applications to go through, not all of which will be from ideal candidates. You need to ensure that you have the time to perform due diligence on applicants. If the job is only small, the time taken to choose a freelancer might outweigh the benefits of outsourcing the job.
The verdict
For small jobs, consider selecting a freelancer directly to save time, rather than posting a job.
3. 99designs
How it works
On 99designs you create design competitions rather than post jobs. Designers enter multiple designs aimed at best fulfilling your brief. If you select one of these designs as the competition 'winner', you claim ownership of the designer's work, and the prize money is divided between the designer and 99designs.
If you don't like any of the designs provided by competition entrants, you don't pay anything. You'll receive designs in a variety of styles, with many different interpretations of your brief. Most jobs receive around 30 design pitches, giving you a wide range of work to choose from. If you're not sure exactly what you want, this could be a smart route for you.
This service is a better choice for a large scale redesign, as they do not do small tweaks. 99designs also focuses on design work only. Because designers who enter your competition are not guaranteed to be paid unless they win (the chances of which are statistically low), their work may reflect this. Some members of the design community also believe that spec work is unethical, because the designer may or may not be compensated for their effort.
The verdict
99designs could be a worthwhile choice if you need a complete redesign for your blog. If you aren't sure exactly you want, having a range of options to choose from could be useful.
4. Microlancer
How it works
Freelancers create listings for their services, with price, turnaround time, number of revisions, and work examples provided upfront. Buyers purchase the service they want. The work must be completed and approved within the turnaround time, or the buyer is eligible for a refund.
Microlancer is specifically designed for small design and coding jobs, the kind that bloggers usually need done. Freelancers are reviewed for quality, meaning the standard of design and code is high. Terms, price and work examples are provided upfront, making it easier to make an informed decision.
Because service categories have a minimum price, Microlancer is less affordable than other options. Job size is limited, so it is not a good choice for a complete blog redesign. Additionally, payment is required upfront, which might deter some buyers.
The verdict
Microlancer is a good choice if you have a clear idea of what you want and don't want to spend time trawling through dozens of job proposals. It isn't well-suited to larger projects, such as a complete redesign.
5. Freelancer
How it works
You post a job and freelancers submit job proposals and bids to work on your project. You can also search freelancer profiles, or post contests (similar to 99designs).
With projects, freelancers and contests available, there are many options for getting your design job done. If you'd like to choose from a number of interested parties, post a project. If you'd like to choose one person to work with, select a freelancer based on their profile. If you'd like to receive many different pitches for completed work, post a contest.
Going through project proposals requires time to perform due diligence on each application. Choosing a freelancer from the 8 million+ profiles might also be time consuming. When posting a contest, it will take time for the entries to come through. Freelancer.com might not be the ideal choice for a job that you need done urgently.
The verdict
Freelancer offers flexibility in how you want the job done, and a huge pool of freelancers to choose from. It is a solid choice if you have the time to make sure your job is done by the right person.
6. People Per Hour
How it works
People Per Hour is structured around hourly rates. You can choose to work with individual freelancers who state their hourly rates upfront, purchase an 'Hourlie', a fixed price service, or post a job and receive proposals.
You may be able to find a freelancer who has posted an 'Hourlie' rate for exactly the job that you need done, for example, a blog header redesign. Otherwise, you can post your job and receive bids, or choose a freelancer who seems like a good fit for the job.
Freelancers on People Per Hour don't pass through a review process, so the quality of their work varies and may not always be clearly visible upfront. You should look deeper into any freelancer you are considering working with and make sure they do the kind of work that you're looking for.
The verdict
People Per Hour offers the flexibility to find a freelancer through several different means. You'll need to take the time to make sure you're happy with your choice before you commit.
7. Tweaky
How it works
The Tweaky website offers dozens of fixed priced jobs based around small tasks and customisations. Once a job is purchased, it will be completed by a freelancer on the Tweaky team. The project is overseen by a Project Manager, there to ensure that things run smoothly and that work is delivered on time.
Tweaky was deliberately created around small jobs and customisations, so it is well suited to the kinds of tasks that bloggers need done. The presence of a staff Project Manager on each job offers an extra level of professionalism and protection against poor quality work.
Tweaky focuses on code rather than design. Some bloggers may not like that they aren't able to choose who will complete the work they need done (freelancers are assigned to jobs by Tweaky staff).
The verdict
If you're not overly concerned with who does your work, only that it gets done quickly and for an upfront price, then Tweaky could be the right option for you.
Who Do You Recommend?
Would you work with any of these companies to get design or customisations done for your blog? Have you done so already? If so, we'd love to hear your reviews and experiences in the comments.
Skellie is a writer, entrepreneur and web developer. She is currently helping out the team at Microlancer.com.

Dynamic QR Code Editing
QR Codes functionality and destination
QR Codes are designed so that the scanners of the code are directed to a certain destination and function on their mobile devices. The function refers to the action that the phone is supposed to do such as the opening of a URL with the phone's browser and the destination refers to the specific goal that the action is supposed to accomplish, such as the particular website that the browser should open. There are many different types of functions and applications that can be opened and destinations that the scanner might be directed to with the use of QR Codes, such as opening specific locations with Google Maps, composing emails with the phone's email application, saving vCards into the address book, opening URLs or even dialing a phone number automatically. When users generate a QR Code, they can choose which type of function they want their QR Code to provide and what destination they want their scanners to be directed to with the use of that function. Thus the QR Code acts as a kind of hyperlink that bridges the gap between the physical product and the function and destination that the business or person would like to provide their customers with or direct them to.
Dynamic QR Codes can be edited after being printed
The question that naturally rises is if it is possible to change the function or destination that the QR Code leads to after it has been created, thus creating a dynamic QR Code that bestows a unique flexibility on marketing campaigns unheard of in the past. When the data containing the function and destination are encoded directly into the QR Code, this option isn't possible and requires a new QR Code to be created for each slight adjustment of function or destination. At Visualead, we use an innovative URL shortening technology that stores the QR Code's data and functionality within our servers and allow the scanners of the code to access that data via the shortened URL. This allows the users of Visualead's technology to vary their QR Code's functionality and destinations continuously with the use of Visualead's dashboard and generator as they are simply altering the functions and destinations that are stored on the servers while the QR Code's access to that data via the URL shortening technology is unaffected, permitting the QR Code to remain untouched.
The significance of this ability is that the printed QR Code can remain untouched upon the physical product, poster or advertisement, yet its destination can be changed every week or even every day – one day leading to the company's website, the next to its location and the third to a vCard – each time without the need to reprint the QR Code which remains untouched wherever it was originally placed. This allows the one-time process of designing the Visual QR Code within the advertisement and printing it to be separated from the continuous process of updating its destination and/or function. This capacity confers a compelling proprietary edge on the users of the QR Code in their marketing strategy as it allows them a unique and inexpensive flexibility in their advertising campaigns.

About event grouping and correlation
Event correlation is finding relationships between seemingly unrelated events in data from multiple sources to answer questions like, "how far apart in time did a specific set of events occur?" or "what's the total amount of time it took for a transaction to complete?"
Splunk software supports event correlations using time and geographic location, transactions, sub-searches, field lookups, and joins.
- Identify relationships based on the time proximity or geographic location of the events. Use this correlation in any security or operations investigation, where you might need to see all or any subset of events that take place over a given time period or location.
- Track a series of related events, which may come from separate IT systems and data sources, together as a single transaction. Identify the amount of time it took to complete the transaction and the number of events within a single transaction.
- Use a sub-search to take the results of one search and use them in another. Create conditional searches, where you see the results of a search only if the sub-search meets certain thresholds.
- Correlate your data to external sources with lookups.
- Use SQL-like inner and outer joins to link two completely different data sets together based on one or more common fields.
This chapter discusses three methods for correlating or grouping events:
- Use time to identify relations between events
- Use subsearch to correlate events
- Use transactions to identify and group related events
You can also use field lookups and other features of the search language. Depending on your search criteria and how you want to define your groupings, you may be able to use a search command, such as append, associate, contingency, join, or stats. Sometimes, there is no single command that you can use.
If you're not sure where to start, the following flow chart can help you decide whether to use a lookup, define a transaction, or try another search command to define your event grouping.
In most cases, you can accomplish more with the stats command or the transaction command; and these are recommended over using the join
and append
commands. You can read more about when to use stats
and transaction
in the topic "About transactions" later in this chapter. You can also read more about the stats commands in the "Calculate Statistics" chapter of this manual.

Lee Brice Describes His COVID-19 Symptoms
Lee Brice felt fine immediately after testing positive for COVID-19, but a few hours later, he took a turn for the worse. The singer shares that he fought through a week of mild symptoms after one really bad night.
"I literally woke up wet," Brice tells People. "I wasn't shivering and I don't think the fever got that high, but I did wake up feeling like I sweat out a fever or something."
Brice tested positive on Nov. 8, just ahead of the 2020 CMA Awards. In fact, he was tested as part of the Country Music Association's protocols, and that positive test made sure he stayed clear of other performers and staff associated with the event.
After figuring he'd just quarantine in his barn for a little while, he started to feel aches and pains, and then night sweats as he tried to sleep. When the worst of it was behind him, the "Memory I Don't Mess With" singer was still experiencing congestion, sinus pressure and a raspy throat.
Charles Kelley ended up filling in for Brice to sing "I Hope You're Happy Now" with Carly Pearce at the 2020 CMA Awards, but he, too, had to miss the actual show because someone within Lady A was in contact with someone who had tested positive. A member of Rascal Flatts, fiddle player Jenee Fleenor and Florida Georgia Line's Tyler Hubbard were also affected by the virus in the days head of the annual awards show and had to miss it. Hubbard reported that he was able to get out of quarantine on Monday night (Nov. 16), after nearly two weeks away from his family.
"Memory I Don't Mess With" is Brice's new single, from his upcoming Hey World album (Nov. 20), which also features his chart-topping single "One of Them Girls."

Johnny Depp's 19-Year-Old Son Jack Appears in Rare Instagram Photo and the Resemblance Is Uncanny
Johnny Depp's son Jack looks strikingly similar to his father as a teenager.
A fan account shared rare photos of Jack, whose full name is John Christopher Depp III, on Instagram. In the images, he can be seen standing in a field under the famous Hollywood sign, his brown hair pulled up into a scrunchie while he poses for the camera.
It is unknown when the photos were taken but they seem to be recent.
On April 9, Jack celebrated his 19th birthday—and he looks very similar to his father at that age, around the time Johnny began to act on screen. See the photos, below.
Unlike his sister, actress-model Lily-Rose Depp, and his mother, French singer, model and actress Vanessa Paradis, Jack has remained out of the spotlight for most of his life. Instead, he enjoys art.
"My boy, Jack, has always been a very talented draftsman," Johnny told the Philippine Daily Inquirer in 2014. "He draws really super well. He also plays music very well. He's got a good feel for that. Aside from school plays and things, he hasn't shown any desire to become an actor. Whew."
Johnny and Vanessa met at a dinner party in 1998 and dated for 14 years. Vanessa recently defended Johnny in court after his ex-wife, Amber Heard, accused him of domestic violence.
"I am aware of the allegations which Amber Heard has publicly accused Johnny of for more than four years now. This is nothing like the true Johnny I have known, and from my personal experience of many years, I can say he was never violent or abusive to me," Vanessa said in a legal statement. "I have seen that these outrageous statements have been really distressing, and also caused damage to his career because unfortunately, people have gone on believing these false facts."

Saboteur (film)
1942 film by Alfred Hitchcock
Saboteur is a 1942 film about an aircraft factory worker who goes on the run across the United States when he is wrongly accused of starting a fire that killed his best friend.
- Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Written by Peter Viertel, Joan Harrison, and Dorothy Parker.
You'd like to say - IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE!... but every jolting scene is TRUE!! (taglines)
Charles Tobin
edit- [to Barry Kane] Very pretty speech - youthful, passionate, idealistic. Need I remind you that you are the fugitive from justice, not I. I'm a prominent citizen, widely respected. You are an obscure workman wanted for committing an extremely unpopular crime. Now which of us do you think the police will believe?
- You have all the makings of an outstanding boor.
- You're one of the ardent believers - a good American. Oh, there are millions like you. People who play along, without asking questions. I hate to use the word stupid, but it seems to be the only one that applies. The great masses, the moron millions. Well, there are a few of us unwilling to troop along... a few of us who are clever enough to see that there's much more to be done than just live small complacent lives, a few of us in America who desire a more profitable type of government. When you think about it, Mr. Kane, the competence of totalitarian nations is much higher than ours. They get things done.
- Power, yes... I want that as much as you want your job, or that girl. We all have different tastes as you can see, only I'm willing to back my tastes with the necessary force.
Barry Kane
edit- [to Patricia as they dance at a party full of Nazi sympathizers] Right now, they're probably haggling over the price for us with Murder, Incorporated.
- Pat, this moment belongs to me. No matter what happens, they can never take it away from me. [another dancer cuts in and dances off with Pat]
- [to Charles Tobin] Why is it that you sneer every time you refer to this country? You've done pretty well here. I don't get it.
Phillip Martin
edit- [Philip, a blind man, explains to Patricia why he believes Barry is innocent] Don't you know I can see a great deal farther than you can? I can see intangible things. For example, innocence.
edit- Mr. Freeman: The most important thing is to make sure of everyone around us.
- Charles Tobin: Mr. Kane?
- Mr. Freeman: I'm just not sure. I want to know that he's all right.
- Charles Tobin: All right? What an understatement. He's much more than that! He's noble and fine and pure... So he pays the penalty that the noble must pay in this world: he's misjudged by everyone.
- Mac, Truck Driver: I've been thinkin' for long time I'm gonna get out of this truckin' game.
- Barry Kane: Why don't you?
- Mac, Truck Driver: One of my neighbors told my wife it's stylish to eat three meals a day.
- Patricia "Pat" Martin: I'm afraid we're not behaving very well.
- Barry Kane: What's the difference, we're not invited anyway.
- Patricia "Pat" Martin: Barry, why couldn't I have met you a hundred years ago? On a beach somewhere?
- Barry Kane: Bathing suits looked awfully funny a hundred years ago. I bet you'd look beautiful though.

The Rise and Fall of Scan4You
In May 2017, Scan4You, one of the biggest cybercrime facilitators, went offline after the FBI arrested and extradited two main suspects. The case against its operators concluded in a Virginia federal courtroom in May 2018. We delved into Scan4You's activities from 2012 until it went offline in 2017.
Scan4You started in 2009 and eventually became one of the largest counter antivirus (CAV) services. Malware authors use these services to scan their malware against AV detection, allowing them to tweak their malware to reduce detection rates and increase infection chances.
Some of the CAV services may have started as an internal tool by cybercriminal groups, like Rove Digital's. Business associates may have subsequently joined, and the service may have eventually opened to anyone willing to pay for it.
Anybody could sign up on Scan4You, which offers 100,000 scans per month for US$30 and US$0.15 for single scans. Payment methods include Paypal, WebMoney, and Bitcoin. The unique selling point promoted on its website: It doesn't share any data with any AV and cybersecurity company.
Scan4You was also popular among smaller CAV service resellers, including Indetectables (for Spanish markets) and RazorScanner (German). RazorScanner's owner was arrested in April 2016 while Refud.me's British owner was sentenced to two years in prison in January 2018 as the result of collaboration between the U.K.'s National Crime Agency (NCA) and Trend Micro.
Scan4You was operated by Ruslans Bondars (b0rland/Borland) and Jurijs Martisevs (Garrik). They have been climbing the cybercriminal career ladder since at least 2006, and have since become infamous in the underground.
That they branched off into their own cybercriminal ventures is unsurprising: They were directly involved with Eva Pharmacy, which sold prescription and non-FDA-approved drugs. They also mounted banking malware campaigns and sold stolen credit card data.
Running a CAV business is neither easy nor lucrative. Based on the scans and their pricing model, Scan4You could have earned up to US$15,000 per month in 2013. While it may have eventually doubled or tripled, it still pales in comparison to what could be earned from click fraud or internet banking fraud.
Despite Scan4you's claim that they don't share data with AV companies, we were able to follow the URL, IP, and domain checks of its users against Trend Micro's web reputation systems. Our visibility to Scan4You's URL scans shed light on its growth and success. Its usage decreased from fall 2013 until around April 2016. Its usage picked up again until the service went dark in May 2017.
b0rland/Borland, a software developer, hosted Scan4You and Eva Pharmacy's servers on the corporate infrastructure of a Latvian ISP. The Gmail account he used to register command-and-control (C&C) domains for his banking malware contained his real name and profile photo, which he also used on his Facebook account.
The phone number associated with Scan4You's WebMoney account matches the WhoIs data of domains Garrik registered. He was also into binary options trading and college paper-writing services. He also appeared to have registered domains linked to the Eva Pharmacy group involved with marketing unapproved and misbranded drugs.
We have been in close contact with the FBI's Washington field office since spring, 2014. The investigation spanned three years until Borland and Garrik's arrest and extradition in 2017. Scan4You's URL scan requests on our servers waned shortly after.
After almost eight years, Scan4You ceased to operate, leaving its competitor VirusCheckMate as the biggest remaining CAV service. It's easy to assume that Scan4You's users would move to the other service, but we have yet to see considerable growth in URL scans from VirusCheckmate. It appears most of Scan4You's customers stopped using a CAV service altogether.
Thwarting Cybercrime
with Law Enforcement
The arrests of Bondars and Martisevs, and Scan4You subsequently going dark, are a dent against cybercrime.
Our foray into Scan4You's activities is just one of the many we've made to gather and analyze threat intelligence that can help law enforcement organizations, legislators, and enterprises reinforce their policies and posture against cybercrime.

A new kind of tiny microphone is shown here attached at right to a cadaver's umbo, where the eardrum (under left part of device) meets the hearing bones. The microphone includes an accelerometer and silicon chip that detect vibrations and convert them to electronic signals sent to electrodes in the inner ear's cochlea, and from there to the brain. The device measures about one-tenth inch by one-quarter inch. Credit: Case Western Reserve University, University of Utah. |
implants have restored basic hearing to some 220,000 deaf people, yet a
microphone and related electronics must be worn outside the head,
raising reliability issues, preventing patients from swimming and
creating social stigma.
a University of Utah engineer and colleagues in Ohio have developed a
tiny prototype microphone that can be implanted in the middle ear to
avoid such problems.
proof-of-concept device has been successfully tested in the ear canals
of four cadavers, the researchers report in a study just published
online in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers journal
Transactions on Biomedical Engineering.
prototype—about the size of an eraser on a pencil—must be reduced in
size and improved in its ability to detect quieter, low-pitched sounds,
so tests in people are about three years away, says the study's senior
author, Darrin J. Young, an associate professor of electrical and
computer engineering at the University of Utah and USTAR, the Utah
Science Technology and Research initiative.
study showed incoming sound is transmitted most efficiently to the
microphone if surgeons first remove the incus or anvil—one of three,
small, middle-ear bones. U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval
would be needed for an implant requiring such surgery.
current prototype of the packaged, middle-ear microphone measures
2.5-by-6.2 mm (roughly one-tenth by one-quarter inch) and weighs 25 mg,
or less than a thousandth of an ounce. Young wants to reduce the package
to 2-by-2 mm.
who moved the Utah in 2009, conducted the study with Mark Zurcher and
Wen Ko, who are his former electrical engineering colleagues at Case
Western Reserve University in Cleveland, and with ear-nose-throat
physicians Maroun Semaan and Cliff Megerian of University Hospitals Case
Medical Center.
The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH-DC-006850).
Problems with external parts on cochlear implants
National Institutes of Health says almost 220,000 people worldwide with
profound deafness or severe hearing impairment have received cochlear
implants, about one-third of them in the United States, where two-fifths
of the recipients are children.
conventional cochlear implant, there are three main parts that are worn
externally on the head behind the ear: a microphone to pick up sound, a
speech processor and a radio transmitter coil. Implanted under the skin
behind the ear are a receiver and stimulator to convert the sound
signals into electric impulses, which then go through a cable to between
four and 16 electrodes that wind through the cochlea of the inner ear
and stimulate auditory nerves so the patient can hear.
a disadvantage having all these things attached to the outside" of the
head, Young says. "Imagine a child wearing a microphone behind the ear.
It causes problems for a lot of activities. Swimming is the main issue.
And it's not convenient to wear these things if they have to wear a
adds that "for adults, it's social perception. Wearing this thing
indicates you are somewhat handicapped and that actually prevents quite a
percentage of candidates from getting the implant. They worry about the
negative image."
As for reliability, "if you have wires connected from the microphone to the coil, those wires can break," he says.
How sound moves
normally moves into the ear canal and makes the eardrum vibrate. At
what is known as the umbo, the eardrum connects to a chain of three tiny
bones: the malleus, incus and stapes, also known as the hammer, anvil
and stirrup. The bones vibrate. The stapes or stirrup touches the
cochlea, the inner ear's fluid-filled chamber. Hair cells (not really
hair) on the cochlea's inner membrane move, triggering the release of a
neurotransmitter chemical that carries the sound signals to the brain.
profoundly deaf people who are candidates for cochlear implants, the
hair cells don't work for a variety of reasons, including birth defects,
side effects of drugs, exposure to excessively loud sounds or infection
by certain viruses.
a cochlear implant, the microphone, signal processor and transmitter
coil worn outside the head send signals to the internal
receiver-stimulator, which is implanted in bone under the skin and sends
the signals to the electrodes implanted in the cochlea to stimulate
auditory nerves. The ear canal, eardrum and hearing bones are bypassed.
system developed by Young implants all the external components. Sound
moves through the ear canal to the eardrum, which vibrates as it does
normally. But at the umbo, a sensor known as an accelerometer is
attached to detect the vibration. The sensor also is attached to a chip,
and together they serve as a microphone that picks up the sound
vibrations and converts them into electrical signals sent to the
electrodes in the cochlea.
device still would require patients to wear a charger behind the ear
while sleeping at night to recharge an implanted battery. Young says he
expects the battery would last one to several days between charging.
says the microphone also might be part of an implanted hearing aid that
could replace conventional hearing aids for a certain class of patients
who have degraded hearing bones unable to adequately convey sounds from
conventional hearing aids.
Testing the microphone in cadavers
microphones include a membrane or diaphragm that moves and generates an
electrical signal change in response to sound. But they require a hole
through which sound must enter—a hole that would get clogged by growing
tissue if implanted. So Young's middle-ear microphone instead uses an
accelerometer—a 2.5-microgram mass attached to a spring—that would be
placed in a sealed package with a low-power silicon chip to convert
sound vibrations to outgoing electrical signals.
package is glued to the umbo so the accelerometer vibrates in response
to eardrum vibrations. The moving mass generates an electrical signal
that is amplified by the chip, which then connects to the conventional
parts of a cochlear implant: a speech processor and stimulator wired to
the electrodes in the cochlea.
is the same as a conventional cochlear implant, except we use an
implantable microphone that uses the vibration of the bone," Young says.
test the new microphone, the researchers used the temporal bones—bones
at the side of the skull – and related ear canal, eardrum and hearing
bones from four cadaver donors.
researchers inserted tubing with a small loudspeaker into the ear canal
and generated tones of various frequencies and loudness. As the sounds
were picked up by the implanted microphone, the researchers used a laser
device to measure the vibrations of the tiny ear bones. They found the
umbo—where the eardrum connects to the hammer or malleus—produced the
greatest sound vibration, particularly if the incus or anvil bone first
was removed surgically.
experiments showed that when the prototype microphone unit was attached
to the umbo, it could pick up medium pitches at conversational volumes,
but had trouble detecting quieter, low-frequency sounds. Young plans to
improve the microphone to pick up quieter, deeper, very low pitches.
the tests, the output of the microphone went to speakers; in a real
person, it would send sound to the implanted speech processor. To
demonstrate the microphone, Young also used it to record the start of
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony while implanted in a cadaver ear. It is
easily recognizable, even if somewhat fuzzy and muffled.
"The muffling can be filtered out," says Young.

Garage Floor Raising Festus Missouri
A great alternative to repairing or replacing concrete slabs is to lift concrete, also known as slab sledding or concrete leveling. There is a high demand for concrete leveling and concrete lifting.
The process of lifting concrete by mudjacking (also referred to as slab buoyancy or polyurethane concrete buoyancy) is similar, but differs in the materials that are pumped in. Through holes in the concrete slab, mud or other material (polyurethane or foam) is pumped into the slab and the cavities in the slab are filled to lift the slab. The holes are then patched with a concrete mixture to complete the process.
Concrete leveling can be invasive when working in residential and commercial applications. When repairing foundations in the Midwest, we use PolyLevel (r) to lift lighter weight and less disturbance concrete slabs into a leveling position than traditional methods of sludge and slab lifting.
We pump polyurethane with a 2-piece high density foam by means of incremental injection into concrete slabs. Polylevel flows like water to fill small cracks and crevices in the ground.
Concrete Leveling
In civil engineering, concrete leveling is a procedure that attempts to correct an uneven concrete surface by altering the foundation that the surface sits upon.
Self-leveling concrete has polymer-modified cement that has high flow characteristics and, in contrast to traditional concrete, does not require the addition of excessive amounts of water for placement.
A driveway is a type of private road for local access to one or a small group of structures, and is owned and maintained by an individual or group. Driveways rarely have traffic lights, but some that bear heavy traffic, especially those leading to commercial businesses and parks, do.
A sidewalk, pavement, footpath, or footway, is a path along the side of a road. Usually constructed of concrete or asphalt, it is designed for pedestrians. A sidewalk may accommodate moderate changes in grade and is normally separated from the vehicular section by a curb.
Concrete is a composite material composed of fine and coarse aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that hardens over time. Concrete is the second-most-used substance in the world after water, and is the most widely used building material.

Underrated Van Halen: The Most Overlooked Song From Each Album
It's impossible to argue Van Halen were underrated. But you can make the case that certain songs by the hard-rock legends haven't gotten the love and attention they deserve.
Van Halen tracks like "Fools," "One Foot Out the Door" and "Feels So Good" have been overlooked mostly because they're overshadowed by more immediately awesome songs. Somewhere around the mid-'90s, when Van Halen finally ran into rocky creative ground, some underrated cuts were all but ignored on underwhelming or underappreciated albums such as Balance and A Different Kind of Truth.
We spotlight the most overlooked song from each Van Halen album below.
"On Fire"
From: Van Halen (1978)
There's really not much about Van Halen's universally lauded debut album that can be considered underrated. It's almost like they released their greatest-hits LP first. Most of the songs were forged during the band's early club days and remained a huge part of their sets at nearly every show performed with David Lee Roth. Even Sammy Hagar sang "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" almost every night. Still, after appearing on almost all of the Roth-fronted tours, frequently as the opening number, the freewheeling "On Fire" was the only song from Van Halen to not appear during any of the band's three post-Roth reunion tours.
"You're No Good"
From: Van Halen II (1979)
"Dance the Night Away" gets more attention than any other song on Van Halen's quickly recorded second album, which makes sense given how well it shows off the band's unabashedly sunny pop sensibilities. But they decided to lead the album with a moody and menacing cover of "You're No Good," a bold choice considering Linda Ronstadt released her own hit version of the song just five years earlier. "So what, man," producer Ted Templeman, in his 2020 autobiography, recalled Roth saying. "We'll scare people with ours."
From: Women and Children First (1980)
Van Halen were able to spend a little more time in the studio for their third album, which freed them to experiment with overdubs and more complex arrangements. Buried among future concert staples such as "Romeo Delight," "Everybody Wants Some!!" and "And the Cradle Will Rock ... " on the album's first side, "Fools" find the band supersizing one of their club-days songs. It ends up being quite an epic, with an extended opening guitar solo, a Godzilla-sized guitar riff and one of the album's most undeniable choruses.
"One Foot Out the Door"
From: Fair Warning (1981)
Even though Women and Children First's "And the Cradle Will Rock ... " was the first Van Halen song to feature keyboards, the electric piano riff was run through a phase shifter and amp, and wound up sounding just like a guitar. On the other hand, there's no mistaking Fair Warning's "One Foot Out the Door" (and the preceding "Sunday Afternoon in the Park" instrumental) is powered by a synthesizer. The instrument adds an exciting new dimension to the band's sound, which led to the massive crossover success of "Jump" three years later. The two-minute "One Foot Out the Door" devotes half of its running time to one of Eddie Van Halen's most inspired guitar solos.
"The Full Bug"
From: Diver Down (1982)
Diver Down is mainly remembered for its compromises. Worn out by years of constant touring and recording, Van Halen recorded Roy Orbison's "(Oh) Pretty Woman" as a time-buying single. The plan backfired. When the song became a hit, the label demanded a new album - immediately. The exhausted group scraped together a 31-minute set that included three instrumentals and four more cover songs. It all fell together surprisingly well, as the band displayed new depth and subtlety on tracks like "Secrets" and "Little Guitars." Oddly enough, the album's pair of new straight-ahead rock songs got lost in the shuffle. "The Full Bug" is the better of the two, featuring a peacocking Roth vocal as well as admirable acoustic guitar and harmonica playing by the singer.
"Drop Dead Legs"
From: 1984 (1984)
The four singles released from Van Halen's sixth album, especially "Jump," took them to new levels of fame. Chances are, "Panama," "I'll Wait," "Hot for Teacher" or "Jump" are playing on the radio somewhere near you at this very minute. No surprise then that the other four songs found on 1984 would get overlooked. And, truth be told, they don't reach the same high standards as the way more famous tracks. Still, the cocky, strutting "Drop Dead Legs" comes close, with a commanding Roth performance giving way to an extended instrumental coda.
From: 5150 (1986)
Sammy Hagar's arrival freed Eddie Van Halen to write material he couldn't even consider when David Lee Roth was the band's singer. The catchy synth-pop of "Why Can't This Be Love," the soaring "Dreams" and the group's first straight-up ballad, "Love Walks In," got most of the attention, and the mature, dynamic but still rocking "Best of Both Worlds" is a fan favorite. The album's title track deserves the same amount of love. It's one of Eddie's most intricate guitar compositions, with a spectacular opening instrumental section. Hagar rises to the occasion both lyrically and vocally, proving he can be compelling even when he's not singing about girls, cars or tequila.
"Feels So Good"
From: OU812 (1988)
Van Halen's second album with Sammy Hagar found the band branching out even further than it did on 5150. The country-inspired "Finish What You Started" and gorgeous ballad "When It's Love" got the most airplay, while the fan favorite "Cabo Wabo" got a music club and tequila brand named after it. But on an album full of curveballs, one of its most straightforward songs is also one of its most enduring. "Feels So Good" is a simple, upbeat keyboard-guided love song that features a knockout vocal by Hagar, with assistance from his new best friend, Michael Anthony.
"Judgement Day"
From: For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (1991)
Possibly inspired by Metallica's show-stealing performances on the shared Monsters of Rock tour, Van Halen traded the increasing diversity of their three previous albums for a back-to-basics guitar-centered approach on For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Eddie Van Halen's use of a power drill on lead single "Poundcake" got a lot of attention, as did the uplifting "Right Now." But the most invigorating riffing quite possibly takes place in "Judgement Day." Eddie Van Halen puts his whammy bar through hell on the song, but the suffering was well worth it.
"Take Me Back (Deja Vu)"
From: Balance (1995)
It's well documented Van Halen weren't on the same page during the making of their final album with Sammy Hagar. It's hard not to read "Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do)" as their attempt at grunge-inspired seriousness, and they do pull it off with surprising success. Eddie Van Halen's instrumental showcase "Balucitherium" also holds up to repeated listens better than you'd expect. But the most underrated song on Balance is the wistful, bittersweet "Take Me Back (Deja Vu)," which features a lovely and evocative use of acoustic guitars.
From: Van Halen III (1998)
Eddie Van Halen repeatedly pointed out that the last album he bought was Peter Gabriel's So. Twelve years later, the influence of that 1986 masterpiece shows itself on the atmospheric and impeccably produced "Once." The slow-burning, eight-minute meditation proved to be the best match for new singer Gary Cherone and one of the few highlights from Van Halen's otherwise frustrating III.
"You and Your Blues"
From: A Different Kind of Truth (2012)
Not much on this album can really be considered underrated ... or overrated, for that matter. But that's mostly Van Halen's fault for going 14 long years without releasing a new studio album. More than half of A Different Kind of Truth's songs were reworked unreleased songs from the band's early years, and they're pretty good. Still, fans weren't too thrilled with "Tattoo" as the LP's first single. A better choice: the new "You and Your Blues," where Roth deconstructs blues cliches over an infectious Eddie Van Halen riff. It's all punctuated by the band's background vocals, still sweeping, even without Michael Anthony (who was replaced on the album by Eddie's son Wolfgang). While we're at it, "She's the Woman," "Outta Space," "Stay Frosty" and "Big River" are better choices than "Tattoo," too.
