"Building a high-frequency, high-capacity, highly available wireless link is an engineering challenge. Using Simulink, we modeled and simulated the entire design before moving to hardware. Getting into the lab with confidence in the design is a huge benefit."
Idan Bar-Sade, BridgeWave Communications
Wireless Ethernet links provide secure, reliable, high-capacity connectivity for extending LANs between buildings as well as the reach of fiber networks. Producing those wireless links at competitive prices and getting to market first, however, requires engineers to fully model and simulate their designs before implementing them.
BridgeWave Communications has driven the cost of deploying full-rate gigabit links down to the range of existing 100 Mbps wireless links, enabling users to affordably trade up to gigabit speeds. To maintain product cost and time-to-market leadership, BridgeWave's engineering team used MathWorks tools for Model-Based Design.
"Using MathWorks tools for Model-Based Design, we were confident that our Ethernet wireless links would deliver the performance we needed," says Idan Bar-Sade, VP of engineering at BridgeWave. "Simulink enabled us to evaluate different design approaches and parameters, verify the design, and then examine the details of our implementation. We tested and simulated all aspects of the system before building a hardware prototype."
BridgeWave engineers previously used MATLAB® to develop algorithms and to model and simulate a single system design in their wireless Ethernet link product line. As they moved to a new design platform to support a broad family of new wireless link products, BridgeWave needed a more visual approach that enabled their engineers to assemble designs from existing blocks faster, explore and simulate more design ideas, and communicate the design more effectively—while ensuring complete and accurate simulations of system performance.
"We needed to validate the system and verify performance, while reducing the time to build the models and run simulations," explains Bar-Sade. "We also wanted to evaluate alternative designs and perform more extensive simulations to establish confidence in the design before building a hardware prototype."
BridgeWave used MathWorks tools for Model-Based Design to model and fully simulate the entire wireless link.
A team of engineers first used Simulink® to create a basic model of the system comprising a modulator, demodulator, and a bit-error rate (BER) counter. Because this was their first project using Simulink, they used a wireless model from the MATLAB Central file exchange to accelerate their early simulation efforts.
Using Communications System Toolbox™, BridgeWave selected the modulator and demodulator that most closely matched the product specifications. Using Simulink to simulate this baseline model, they produced a BER curve that met the requirements.
Engineers then replaced the modulator with a more realistic simulation created with Simulink blocks of lower-level hardware components. This more detailed design also included filters and other components from DSP System Toolbox™.
The team then followed the same approach with the demodulator, replacing high-level blocks with BridgeWave's proprietary implementation using Simulink blocks.
Throughout development, engineers used the Simulink modulation and demodulation blocks as a standard for debugging. "Whenever we saw a problem with our modulator implementation, we switched back to the Simulink block and compared results," says Bar-Sade. "It was a very efficient way to debug our system."
Engineers used SimRF™ to incorporate RF components, including low-noise RF amplifiers, into the design. With SimRF, they used measured S-parameter data from existing amplifiers to simulate the devices in Simulink.
Once the team had developed a full system model, they ran simulations in Simulink, using different frequencies, filter bandwidth parameters, gain slopes, and signal-noise levels to fully evaluate the design. "We wanted to be sure—based on manufacturability and cost—that what we built would perform well. It was a big confidence builder to vary parameters and see the stability of our design," explains Dr. John Park, principal systems engineer at BridgeWave.
"BridgeWave delivered its new FE60 wireless link, the first product based on the new platform, ahead of schedule, producing the longest-range 60GHz wireless Ethernet link on the market," reports Bar-Sade. "Based on our success on this project, we are confident that MathWorks tools will be key contributors to our future development projects."

Booming Sweden's free-market solution
The nation now offers good safety nets through the private sector, and its model of falling taxes and public spending is proliferating quickly.
By Anders Aslund
Not so long ago, Sweden could claim world leadership in unmitigated Keynesian economics, with a 90 percent marginal tax rate and a welfare state second to none.
Now Swedes look at the conflict between the U.S. and German examples over whether more spending or more austerity is the key to financial salvation, and for them the choice is easy: Germany was right. Northern Europe harbors no sympathy for the spendthrifts of Southern Europe.
Americans still think of Sweden as a tightly regulated social-welfare state, but in the past two decades the country has been reformed. Public spending has fallen by no less than one-fifth of gross domestic product, taxes have dropped and markets have opened up.
The situation is similar in the other Scandinavian countries, the Baltic nations and Poland. But no turnabout has been as dramatic as Sweden's.
From 1970 until 1989, taxes rose exorbitantly, killing private initiative, while entitlements became excessive. Laws were often altered and became unpredictable. As a consequence, Sweden endured two decades of low growth. In 1991-93, the country suffered a severe crash in real estate and banking that reduced GDP by 6 percent. Public spending had surged to 71.7 percent of GDP in 1993, and the budget deficit reached 11 percent of GDP.
The combination of the crisis and the non-socialist government under Carl Bildt from 1991 to 1994 broke the trend and turned the country around. In 1994, the Social Democrats returned to power and stayed until 2006. Instead of revoking the changes, they completed the fiscal tightening. In 2006, a non- socialist government returned, and Finance Minister Anders Borg, with his trademark ponytail and earring, has led further reforms. Sweden successfully weathered the global financial crisis that started in 2008, and the Financial Times named Borg Europe's best finance minister last year.
Before 2009, Sweden had a budget surplus, and it has one again. For the past two years, economic growth has been 4 percent on average, and the current-account surplus was 6.7 percent in 2011. The only concerns are the depressed demand for exports caused by the current euro crisis and an unemployment rate that is about 7.5 percent.
Sweden's traditional scourge is taxes, which used to be the highest in the world. The current government has cut them every year and abolished wealth taxes. Inheritance and gift taxes are also gone. Until 1990, the maximum marginal income tax rate was 90 percent. Today, it is 56.5 percent. That is still one of the world's highest, after Belgium's 59.4 and there is strong public support for a cut to 50 percent.
The 26 percent tax on corporate profits may seem reasonable from an American perspective, but Swedish business leaders want to reduce it to 20 percent. Tax competition is fierce in some parts of Europe. Most East European countries, for example, have slashed corporate taxes to 15-19 percent.
In the bad old days, the annual centralized-wage bargaining between the Trade Union Confederation and the Swedish Employers' Confederation was a prized custom. But in the 1970s, this system led to both inflation and strikes. Today, it is long gone. Wage bargaining is still collective, but it is decentralized. Wage inflation is no longer a concern and strikes are extremely rare. The employers have won, but real wages are rising with productivity, so the workers are benefiting, as well. As everywhere, trade unions are losing members, money and power.
Sweden has belonged to the European Union since 1995, but it isn't a member of the euro area, and the exchange rate of its krona floats freely. Finance Minister Borg argues against a more expansionary policy in Sweden in case Europe faces a real meltdown. After the Keynesian financial and monetary stimulus in the 1970s and '80s, which led to inflation, repeated devaluations and low growth, Swedes believe in fiscal discipline. They are scared of huge national debt and budget deficits -- especially at the levels they are in the U.S.
Where are the left-wing intellectuals to challenge this new order? They have disappeared. The old socialist research organizations have closed down. The Center for Labor Market Studies was a state institution that generated propaganda, not research, and the government closed it. The Trade Union Confederation had a sophisticated research institute, which it eliminated for not being sufficiently political.
The union economists, who dominated Swedish economic debate in the 1970s and '80s, have been replaced by bank economists. The free-market right has influential research centers in Stockholm.
After many years of absence from the debate, I attended a conference on the Swedish economy in the southern city of Malmo last month. Swedbank, a large bank, was the organizer, and the 180 speakers represented the full range of Swedish views. I was amazed to hear how far the consensus had moved to the free- market right, even among Social Democrats and trade-union leaders. The values are competition, openness and efficiency, while social and environmental values remain -- a social-welfare society without the social-welfare state. The idea is to make it more efficient through competition among private providers.
The name of the conference said it all: "Growth Days." Wanja Lundby-Wedin, the president of the Trade Union Confederation, declared without hesitation: "We want flexibility in the labor market." She complained that the media no longer pay attention to the labor market. The reason is that it functions so well.
During the global financial crisis, the metalworkers' union quietly agreed to major wage cuts to safeguard their real incomes in the long run. The leader of that union, Stefan Lofven, has just been elected chairman of the Social Democratic Workers' Party.
The Social Democrats haven't only joined the free-market consensus, but seem to attack the current government from the right, pushing for a better business environment. Gone are demands for the restoration of social benefits. Opinion polls have rewarded the Social Democrats for their right turn with sharply improved ratings.
Sweden is still offering good social welfare, but more efficiently and sensibly and increasingly through the private sector. This model of falling taxes and public spending is rapidly proliferating from the north of Europe toward the south, and the northern Europeans have little tolerance for the statist conservatism and fiscal negligence of Southern Europe. Nor do the Swedes understand the fiscal irresponsibility of the U.S., while they still admire American research and innovation.
More from Bloomberg
My, my - let's move to Sweden! Or, maybe not...
I wonder why nothing was said about the impact of these 'wonderful' reforms upon Swedish society, or the 40% increase in popularity the far-right had in polls last month. Needless to say, I also am curious that -- with the great, private social 'safety nets' -- Eurostat says Sweden now has more people at risk of poverty than any nation but Bulgaria ( Reuters: Swedish equality fades away as rich get richer ).
On the brighter side, if the author was of foreign origins and living in Sweden, he might be having an 'exciting time' due to the reported explosion in anti-foreigner sentiment, xenophobia. Unfortunately, this kind of 'excitement' does have implications for those considering business in Sweden, particularly as it seems discrimination against foreigners has even been documented by Sweden's government as extending to the nation's authorities and courts ( CounterPunch: Living in Sweden, Thinking of the Holocaust ).
It does seem a bit has been omitted from this article. There is a difference between an icon and an illusion.
When Electrolux closed a plant in Greenville, Michigan, people lost their homes, their health insurance, hospital emergencies tripled, etc. When Electrolux closed a plant in Sweden, there was hardly a ripple. People got health insurance, they got unemployment at 80% their old salary, and they got retrained by the government for new jobs. Electrolux had to create a fund to help former employees start new businesses.
So Sweden is still a PRO STIMULUS nation compared to the USA.
"Sweden is still offering good social welfare, but more efficiently and sensibly and increasingly through the private sector...nor do the Swedes understand the fiscal irresponsibility of the U.S."
Please note that health insurance in the USA is MORE costly through the private sector: private insurers complained to Congress they couldn't compete with government run Medicare B and so their puppets awarded them 14% more per person to offer the alternative Medicare Advantage.
EVERY other story I've read about Sweden trumpets how their stimulus attitude has made their economy strong. They also went to stimulus when their banks were failing in the 1990s and didn't see that again in 2008 because, like Canada, they REGULATE their banks.
Until 1990, the maximum marginal income tax rate was 90 percent. Today, it is 56.5 percent.
56.5%? he calls that falling taxes and less public spending? they have free healthcare, education, earlychildhood education, longer vacations, shorter hours, longer maternity leave etc....and he is making the case that this is austerity? This makes the case for higher taxes, universal healthcare and better education. Shows where would be if we had not cut taxes so low under bush when we too had a surplus. Tighten up your society first, take away worries about healthcare, childcare, safety and provide a quality education and then minds can flourish in free society.
Terrible comparison.
It's easy to go from 90% tax rates and huge amounts of welfare and cut them down and get good results. The US is already at low tax rates and social safety has been cut for 4 decades from the state thru the federal level. Plus small countries are easier to manage these kinds of results in, extrapolating it to big countries is not very accurate.
This isn't the 70s. The US was in a similar position to Sweden then.
What should be obvious is the US went down the wrong path *too far* - countries like Sweden are just really starting to go down it. 90% tax rate until 1990. So, effectively, 30 years behind the US. And what do we have for low tax rates and cutting social benefits? Ah yes, growth that doesn't include about 99% of people. But growth non the less, so sure, embrace it. Come back in 20 years.
Especially with Swedens population problem. They have reached a population decline point. Let me know how they are managing it 20 years from now when they don't have any tax rates to cut anymore to stimulate anything.
What is worth noting here is that just this week, the Sweden Democrats (a far-right party with neo-Nazi roots) became Sweden's third largest - 'Sweden Democrats third largest party' in The Local. I'll add that perhaps the reasons for this are not only the exploding xenophobia (which includes discrimination by Sweden's authorities and courts), but poverty and the shambles Sweden's formerly great social service network is in - 'Living in Sweden, thinking of the Holocaust', CounterPunch.
If one wants the far-right to rise in America, then copying Sweden is indeed a great idea.

Three High Tech Flea Killers
Summer months bring bugs and one of the most annoying of then all (besides bed bugs, termites, and mosquitoes) are fleas! Not only do they give humans the itchies, but they bite and bother our beloved pets. While there are incredibly effective topical treatments like Advantage and Revolution, these toxic chemicals have recently come under review by the FDA for their safety. So where do pet lovers turn to next? Technology!
There's been an increase in the number of high tech flea solutions of late. These gadgets use heat, light or electric frequencies to kill the suckers while keeping your pets safe. Here's a small roundup of some of the more promising gizmos. We haven't had a chance to try these, but if any of you have and care to share your experience, please do so in the comments section.
- The Flea Zapper Electronic Comb emits a low electronic frequency that's kills fleas on contact. Just brush the comb through and the electric charge will penetrate their shells, while keeping your pet safe. Dead fleas collect on the comb, which also helps keep your cat or dog's 'do in check.
- Flea Trap is based on Kansas State University patent. Similar to a fly trap, this gizmo uses a specific light wavelength to draw fleas nestled in pets, furniture, and rugs to it's plastic case. Once there, the buggers fall through the grid and onto a sticky mat within, where they meet with the Grim Reaper.
- Riddex Ionic Flea Comb emits an electric pulse that kills fleas as you comb. It also emits millions of tiny ions that the company claims, "clean, soften and add luster to your pet's coat..."

I've definitely lost faith in riddex products, we have them plugged around the house and the bugs keep playing their "dare to touch Mamina" game while I sleep. Won't hang on to this issue right now. I'm a little interested in the flea zapper, although I would like to read a few reviews on the product before paying that much. There is a flea trap you can make with a bowl of water sitting under a lamp, I just can't remember what is it that you have to put in the water, soap maybe? so they can't jump out. If I get my hands on the zapper I'll come back and let you know how it went.
@koyaniskatzy: Definitely let us know if you try the zapper. Borax powder is a safe flea killer, but you have to sprinkle it on everything and keep it layered for a day or two to kill the fleas.
I've had luck with Buck Mountain Herbal Gold flea powder: http://www.pethealthandnutritioncenter.com/store/product/buck-mountain-botanicals-organic-parasite-dust/
You sprinkle it on your pets. It's not harmful and it's totally organic. Much, much safer than the chemicals in Rx flea meds.
I put dishwashing liquid (clear in color) in a white bowl of water and shine a flashlight in there and always get at least a handful of fleas when I try it. I'm ready to give up on frontline.

I was always a target of various bullies throughout my life but the story I'm about to tell will always stick in my mind.
When I was in Grade 9, I made friends with a classmate because she seemed cool. She was athletic, had stylish clothes, liked to party and was a generally loud and outgoing girl. I was shy, artsy and a bit of a doormat, so I felt like her personality was something for me to aspire to, and she liked my clothes and creative nature, so we had somewhat of a symbiotic relationship. It worked out, for a while.
Within a few months I grew tired of her abrasive attitude and was feeling used ("Hey, can I borrow your clothes/some money/CD's/not return it/etc?") and learned through the churning gyre of teen gossip that she was making fun of me behind my back while posing as my friend. I ended the friendship then and there through the usual passive aggressive pre-text message method: a note. This proved to be a terrible mistake that lead to a solid year of constantly fearing for my safety.
Within the first few days of ending our friendship, I heard through others that she planned on killing me. I received threatening letters from her, as she attempted to rally others to her cause. I remember having to share both a science and an art class for one semester with her, and in both classes she attempted assault through a couple of her guy friends (this thankfully never followed through due to teachers walking in just as they were about to come at me with a paper weight, and another time with a lighter in attempt to burn my hair). I was always looking over my shoulder (don't go to the washroom/walk home/walk the halls alone). When I think back, I wonder where my friends were this entire time? Oh yeah, they were sitting next to her, too spineless or apathetic to stand up for me. This went on for exactly a year, which isn't much compared to many brave people who have had to endure a lifetime of abuse, but it was a terrifying and dark period of my life where I felt like none of my peers cared enough to stand with me.
Fortunately for me, in the end of it all she was all talk. I will forever be thankful to my mother and my guidance counsellor who didn't take kindly to death threats, and ended the cycle before it escalated by severely reprimanding her.
Back when we were still friends, she confided in me that her mother was verbally and physically abusive toward her. She would call her "ugly", "slut", "whore" and belittle her in many other ways. In the end, I just felt sorry for her because I knew where her abuse directed at me was coming from: her mother. Abuse breeds abuse. I'm not sure where she is now, I talked to her a few years ago when I was in college and she still seemed like a bitter, battered soul. Even though she was terrible to me, I hope to this day that she has found peace.

The female gonad, or ovary, is responsible for producing and releasing the hormones essential to normal menstruation and pregnancy. The ovaries also release an ovum for transport through the Fallopian tube into the uterus once each month. If this egg is fertilized, conception occurs and the egg will implant in the uterine lining, beginning pregnancy.

Instead of guessing whether the wood you're assembling (or painting) has the proper moisture content, why not find out for sure? Delmhorst's BD-2100 Digital Moisture Meter can gauge moisture levels in wood from 6 percent to 40 percent. It can also take moisture readings in other materials, such as gypsum, concrete, and EIFS. The standard contact pins provide 5/16-inch penetration; various electrodes for deeper penetration are available as accessories. The BD-2100 is made in the U.S. and can be found online for $340.

Marcel Horn dismisses the notion of rocket science with a wave of his hand. The 2000 Golf in question packs some 280 bhp and 286 lb-ft of twist, and it relies on the Haldex-based awd driveline made famous by Audi. And while that puts it in league with killers like Subaru's STi and Mitsu's Evo VIII, its understated appearance makes it look more like a grocery-getter than the street missile it is.
"It was largely a bolt-on project," said Horn of HPA.
"I wanted a practical car for the wife and my infant son, Garrett. Oh yeah, and it needed to do the 1/4-mile in the mid 13s and perform in the snow. This is how it turned out."
This car is the product of VW's platform-sharing technology, which makes it fairly simple to mix and match parts from various models. The formula here was to use the twin-intercooled 1.8t engine from the 225-bhp Audi TT, its transmission, and most of its driveline parts.
"The only issue we had with the TT driveline was its length. It's a bit shorter in the Audi. We used the factory extenders from the European-spec Golf/Bora. Still, they were simple bolt-on parts." said Horn.
The 1.8t motor was reworked with HPA's Stage II K04 turbo program, which includes a new turbo housing and HPA's proprietary downpipe for an unrestricted flow from the turbocharger. HPA's own software ensures the engine performs to its up rated parameters. The TT's twin exhaust was retained and pokes out the modified rear valence. Perhaps the most challenging part of the installation was using the TT's steering rack to clear the exhaust piping. Still, it simply bolted right in.
In keeping with is sleeper appearance, the Golf wears KW Cup wheels and is suspended with KW's Variant II coilovers specifically for the awd system. Brakes are HPA's own blend of VW Motorsport stock, comprised of huge 335mm rotors and two-piston floating calipers. The body includes Euro-spec bumpers and HID lights with electronic adjusters.
A few minutes spent behind the wheel revealed a car Volkswagen would have been proud to call its own. Quiet and well mannered, it nonetheless provided forward thrust on a par with a 911. It flies off the line like it's been launched from an aircraft carrier catapult-care must be taken to keep up with shifting duties as redline comes with frightening brevity. By a seat-of-the-pants sensation, this car will hit 60 mph in under 6 sec. Interestingly, Horn upgraded the instrumentation to Euro-spec gauges with a 320-kph speedometer and has inserted an LED boost readout in the tachometer. I didn't have time or nerve to look at either, as I was more focused on keeping this beast on the road. Handling could best be described as neutral with the deciding factor being the right foot. Like most awd-equipped vehicles, this car was very forgiving-screw up and it will let you get away with it-drive it well and you own the road.
Although Volkswagen's R32 has become the cover-boy for VW performance, it's good to see that with some ingenuity the average man can hang with factory offerings. And do it with twice the doors and a trunkful of groceries.

SPOKANE -- In less than an hour, Washington State Patrol responded to two wrecks in the same immediate area on Highway 395 south of Deer Park.
The first crash happened around 3:15 p.m. Tuesday in between Wildrose and Halfmoon Road, about 6 miles south of Deer Park. The wreck involved two vehicles. The injuries sustained in this crash were non-life threatening. The wreck partially blocked the NB lanes for about an hour.
The second crash happened around 4:00 p.m. on Highway 395 near milepost 172. Troopers said a man was driving 55 mph when he hit some slush, spun out and rolled over. The man was the only person in the car. He was not hurt. Police said alcohol was not involved.

Since the 1950s, the Neumann M50 has been heralded as the ideal microphone for orchestral recording and string scoring. With its phenomenal transient response and unique directional characteristic, this classic mic has endeared many fans, both in the control room and on the soundstage.
The new M150 Tube takes many of the features from the original M50 and incorporates them in a very modern microphone. With low self noise, a Titanium membrane and capsule, transformerless tube amplifier and sophisticated power supply, the M150 Tube is not a re-issue but an entirely new microphone in its own right.
Acoustical features
The Titanium diaphragm of the pressure capsule is 12 mm in diameter and is exceedingly thin. Although Titanium has been know to have unique and desirable characteristics for some time, it has, until very recently, been very difficult to procure and machine in the quality necessary for use in a microphone of this type.
The headgrille is shaped just like that on the original M50, as requested by various top engineers in the recording industry. Due to mounting the pressure capsule with the diaphragm flush to the surface of a small (40 mm) sphere, the directional characteristic of the M150 Tube is entirely unique. At the lowest frequences, this system produces a perfectly circular polar pattern. However, in the mid- and upper frequencies, the pickup pattern becomes more narrow, allowing for careful aiming of the microphone in the stereo field.
The M 150 Tube is an ideal microphone for any stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 surround recording, particularly DECCA Tree technique.
Electrical features
The dynamic range of the M150 Tube is 119 dB, allowing reproduction of the full musical expression, without restraint. With a low self noise of 15 dB-A, more gain can be used without risk of adding noise to the final product. The transformerless output circuit of this microphone allows for extremely fine reproduction of small signals and low frequency information. Also, long cable runs can be used with no loss of signal quality.

Comments about Neumann M150 Omnidirectional Tube Condenser Microphone:
I've owned and used the U87, U89, 69, M49b, Klaus versions of the 49 and numerous others. I had been told not to get this mic because it was very different from the original M50... I bought it anyway and A/B'd them. WOW, it was slightly different in the quietness during "no signal" time. This mic beat the others in my collection that sell for 8-9m! I'm going to sell one of those and get another M150 so I can have a stereo pair... I record Jazz, Symphony, Pop, Metal as well as film score... no foley though, but I believe this mic would work well in that environment also. good recording and make mine tape.

Note to self: stuff pockets with glitter. The concept was out in full force for Yard Dogs Road Show's "Glitter and Gold" Thanksgiving weekend show at The Independent (on Saturday, the second of a two-night run). And those prancing, bejeweled pony girls sure didn't disappoint -- neither did the dancing, singing marionette girls, or the multi-cannon explosions of confetti with which the show climaxed. Great visuals, them. The music ranged from Broadway D-Liscious' rubber-ankled lounge rendition of "The Life of the Party," to head bangers, to sexy, warbled somethings -- which sounded sexier (like they always do) when sung by a woman on an accordian. Here's hoping we don't have to wait another two years for the Dogs to get let out in the Bay once more.
To stem the massive hemorrhaging in the budget, the state of California has authorized the sale of 24 state-owned office buildings across the state to private investors. The state would then rent back the office space.
It's a classic case of short-term thinking: In the end, the state will end up paying more money in rent than it will gain from the sales. The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office reported in April that over the next 30 years, the lease payments will likely cost $5 billion more than if the property had stayed in the state's possession.Read more »
There's been much talk about naming a "caretaker mayor" to replace Mayor Gavin Newsom in January – most of it coming from downtown-oriented politicians, advocates, and publications, who are in the minority on the Board of Supervisors – but Sup. Chris Daly offered a full-throated denunciation of the idea this week.Read more »
Melting the masters with Oddball Films and Keith Hennessey
In a scene from the hilariously boffo short film Pull My Daisy an unruly gang of beatniks (Allen Ginsberg, Peter Orlovsky, and Gregory Corso) grill their pal's invited guest, "The Bishop" (Richard Bellamy) about the relative holiness of the world around them, from baseball to cockroaches to the male organ. Is this-and-that holy, is such-and-such holy? they slur via Jack Kerouac's partially-improvised narration. Their good-natured interrogation is doubtlessly modeled on Ginsberg's "Footnote to Howl"—that affirmative litany asserting the holiness of cocks, typewriters, and "the bop apocalypse". Throughout, their commitment to proving the divine in the human gives their tactless party-crashing a metaphysical justification and an almost wide-eyed innocence.
It's not until I really started thinking about it that I realized how much I love Sweden. My best friend Karin is part Swedish. The American Girl Doll I had when I was little was the Swedish immigrant girl Kristen, decked out in her Saint Lucia holiday outfit. I used to work at a cafe in Seattle that served the best Swedish pancakes, ever, topped with lingonberry sauce. And the gorgeous singer Robyn is from Sweden, too. Read more »
The San Francisco Chronicle ran a good story yesterday on progressives hopes for appointing one of our own as the next mayor. But beyond being fair to progressives that are often demonized by a newspaper whose political sympathies lie with the downtown crowd, the article was notable for something else: it's use of the word "progressive."Read more »

I seem to remember Tom saying something about a female doctor when he was leaving the show.
Do you think it's time we had a female doctor? I do. I think it would give the show a fresh slant.

You can almost say that Substance Abuse's Overproof is two albums. One half a chillin' and relaxin' summer time slow ride in the vein of People Under The Stairs and Ugly Duckling, the other a mad scientist surgical creation, lurking somewhere between Kool Keith and the Def Jux crew. Emcees Eso Tre and Subz are adept at invoking the laid back West Coast party vibe, drawling out several cruised out head nodders over the course of the album. Though the second more experimental side of the album doesn't always work as well as it could, it creates a sense of balance and progressive accomplishment rarely seen on a debut album. Flaws aside, the album clearly paints Substance Abuse as a duo to keep an eye on.
