PropertyOfZack Track-By-Track : : Stickup Kid (Part I)
Stickup Kid will be releasing their Nothing About Me EP via Adeline Records on June 5th. PropertyOfZack is teaming up with the band to do a series of Track-By-Track guides and streams to give insight on the songs that make up the EP. Check out Track-By-Tracks for the first two songs on the EP below and come back on Wednesday and Thursday for more!
I wrote this song shortly after I started a long (and ongoing) battle against Major Depressive Disorder, and General Anxiety Disorder. However, at the time this was written, I did not know I was dealing with either one of those. When I get in a depressed/anxious mindset, my mind goes 100 miles per hour, and I basically can't abandon any thoughts. I literally get stuck thinking and it overrides everything going on right in front of me. My thoughts tend to control me, and that is what Breathing is about, hence the whole "I'm stuck inside my head" theme. In that time period, which was when I started college and lived in a dorm, I had so many thoughts in my head that sometimes I would just sit in my dorm all day without eating. I would just sit there and let my mind talk itself into feeling worthless. I came to the realization that if I kept staying inside all the time, someone might as well dig my grave and bury me right there in my room. The song is called "Breathing" because when I have these problems, my chest tightens which makes it hard to breathe. - Tony Geravesh
- Listen to "Breathing" .
I wrote these during one of the darkest periods of my life, where everything around me was uncertain. I was in a relationship with this girl, and neither of us were truly ready to dive deep into it, but we dove deep anyways. This ended badly. She started acting, dressing, becoming someone she wasn't, and I began subconsciously evading her. This song is pretty much a letter to that girl (since we seldom speak anymore) saying that I'm not going to give away a piece of myself to her again, because the feeling of being ruined by her overcame the good times in our relationship. The skeleton of these lyrics were taken from the first lyrics I ever wrote, so when I read these lyrics, it kind of pays homage to the younger, purer me, that I felt I lost while spending time with this girl. - Tony Geravesh

On Wednesday night, the Golden State Warriors will continue their road trip as they travel East to face Rajon Rondo and the Boston Celtics.
The Celtics are well-rested, having not played since their hard-fought defeat at the hands of the far superior Indiana Pacers on Saturday night. Boston is 3-7 in their past 10 games and have lost six of its last seven but is playing better basketball of late.
One of Boston's biggest problems all year is its ability, or rather, inability, to close games. Only two teams in the NBA have played more games where they were either ahead or behind by five points in the final five minutes of a game. The Celtics have faced 35 such scenarios and are a dreadful 12-23 when placed in the predicament above. In that scenario they shoot a dreadful 33.8 percent from the field which is the worst in the league and an even worse 23.2 percent from three. All of that is a result of the Celtics lack of consistent offensive production and their blatent lack of talent compared to other teams.
The Warriors are coming off to physical games against two of the East's best. After falling victim to Toronto Sunday night, (I personally am blaming the loss on Jermaine O'Neal for not being able to clear customs), the Warriors rebounded with a huge 98-96 win against the Indiana Pacers.
Wednesday night against the C's is a trap game for the Warriors and if they don't treat it like any other game they might be for another performance like the stinker they put up against the Bulls in late February.
Game time is at 7:30 EST and keep in mind that Wednesday night is not only a back-to-back for the Warriors as a team, but both the Pacers and Celtics are Jermaine O'Neal's former teams, so be ready for a video tribute.

A Meta of Unloved and Favoritism
requested by onionjulius
If there's any character trait that spans from North of the Wall to King's Landing, and all the lands in between, it's the search for affection. From Theon and Tyrion to Samwell and Joffrey, there is hardly a region or household that doesn't involve a family member that feels unloved.
We'll get Joffrey out of the way first (ironically, because no one likes him). Though he's spoiled by his mother, it's not Cersei's love he seeks. Joffrey wants Robert to love him. What does Joffrey know about his father? He drinks, fights, beats his wife, and has lots of sex. What does Joff do?
Though he never gets around to the sex, and luckily for Margaery, doesn't live long enough to beat his wife, he does 'honor' Sansa repeatedly, drinks quite a lot of wine, and is one of the most belligerent kings we're shown. He must have heard Robert complaining about the smallfolk, as he shows them no love. He hacks Tyrion's wedding gift to him to pieces, declaring 'My father had no time for books.' He even tries to have Bran killed after overhearing something his father said.
But Robert doesn't love him, any more than we do, the poor little shit. Cersei remarks to Sansa that Robert never cared for Joff, ever since he was a baby and wouldn't laugh for him. Even Jaime, his actual father, feels next to nothing for him. Sadly, I think this aspect of his character doesn't come across all that well in the show, and it makes Joffrey a little too one-dimensional for my taste.
But that's a matter for another ramble, so let's move on to another character, this one a good deal more popular.
Theon Greyjoy, last born and least loved (Do you know, I can only think of a few examples of characters under this heading that are the first born? That's sort of interesting) son of Balon Greyjoy. 'Stolen' at ten, he was raised by Eddard Stark, and got no fatherly affection from him, he returns home to the Iron Islands at twenty and expects a warm welcome.
He gets scorn (and uncomfortable teasing from his sister) and decides to do something that will earn his father's respect (or at least help him get the sour taste of his lot in life out of his mouth). While hunting Bran and Rickon, he recalls how he'd saved Bran from the wildlings, and Robb had rebuked him for his actions. That scene really speaks of how Theon feels re: getting recognition for his achievements. When he was a child, all he probably heard was 'Ah, but your brothers did it faster/better/first'. With Eddard, most of the attention would be for Robb, the heir to Winterfell (and that, a younger boy getting the affection that Theon probably expected as the eldest must have really rankled). Granted, this isn't in the text, but it feels right to me.
Let's go back to another first born disappointment, shall we? Samwell Tarly, Lord Too-Fat-To-Be-A-Lord. His father, Randyll, is a man's Man. Hunter, warrior, genius, brutal judge. His son is bookish and fat and doesn't like blood. (Probably comes from being forced to bathe in it, but hey, what do I know?). Randyll doesn't just show his son a lack of affection like Robert or Balon, Randyll openly despises Sam. He literally tortured him for wanting to find an intellectual pursuit. Which, as I said in my Samble, explains Sam's entire personality. Also, it's interesting the two extremes we've observed in characters so far. Joff and Theon were ignored by their parent, and acted out a form of extreme homage to what they viewed as desirable behavior. Randyll took an active interest in Sam, and warped his psychology so much that Sam's now afraid to do anything. Furthermore, when Sam's brother is born (Dickon, I want to say? It's one of those names that's not quite a name), Randyll finally ignores Sam, and Sam is happier.
Then, of course, there's the 'hunting accident' event, and Sam is off to the Night's Watch, where he's terrified of everything, but at least he's away from Randyll.
Edmure Tully, son of Hoster, seems to have felt left out as well, since he sets out to a battle saying that should he win, his father will have more reason to love him than the fact that they're related. Could he have felt second best to Cat and Lysa, especially since Hoster was consumed by guilt over the latter?
Jon Snow, constantly wondering who his mother was because he felt like an outsider, and, in the show, making a conscious decision that he would not father a bastard and put him through something like that.
The Freys, an entire household with no love in it, so gone to social niceties that they flaunt one of the most sacred trusts in the realm.
Quentyn Martell, his father's plan B, turned down by the princess he felt he was destined to marry. Arriane Martell, convinced her father means to depose her before she learns the truth.
You get the idea.
Alright, without further ado, let's get into the big two unloved characters: Stannis and Tyrion.
Stannis Baratheon, the First of his name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, and Protector of the Realm. I have seen quite a few people on Tumblr make the mistake of saying that Stannis is the eldest, which is telling, I believe. He certainly seems the most mature of the Baratheon brothers, which is probably what makes him such an outsider. For all Robert's failings, he was fun (as long as you agreed with him and weren't Cersei) to be around. He drank and joked and told bawdy stories. Renly, the youngest, is just like Robert (at least in public) and everyone loves him too.
But poor Stannis watched his parents drown trying to bring a clown to teach him how to laugh…
Hold on, I'll get back to the broader strokes of Stannis' character in a bit. It has never not bothered me that Steffon mentioned Stannis not knowing how to laugh in that letter to Cressen. Now, if you've read the Dunk and Egg stories (which you should), you'll know of a character in the first one, Lyonel Baratheon, the Laughing Storm. Given the timeline, I'm going to assume he's either Steffon's father or uncle, so Steffon likely grew up surrounded by laughter. Then he and his wife made Robert, who at the time of their deaths, was sixteen, give or take. Stannis was fifteen. That's enough years for Robert to have started being Robert, and Stannis to have grown a permanent frown from Robert being number one (again, like Theon and his brothers, this isn't stated, but I believe it). Just look at the Proudwing story. Stannis does the noble thing, trying to raise the underdog back up to the sky, and Robert just goes with a superhawk and mocks him constantly for it. Anyway, so Stannis is an oddball to Steffon, and he makes no secret of it. Then he dies, and it probably didn't improve Stannis' disposition any.
Robert becomes King of the realm, rewards Ned Stark for breaking the siege of Storm's End (the siege that Stannis had to live through), and gives Storm's End itself to Renly, a boy of eight. Then he turns around and berates Stannis for letting Viserys and Daenarys escape. No wonder Stannis makes no secret of his disdain for Robert.
Now, someone, I forget who, once pointed out that Dragonstone was the ancestral place that the heir to the Iron Throne stayed, and that by giving it to Stannis, Robert was proclaiming him his heir until he had a child. For one, I doubt Robert had that kind of foresight. I think it was just a snub of Stannis, and he happened to have a nice new castle to give him to seemingly make up for it. For another, I think Robert would have sooner legitimized one of his bastards than give Stannis something.
But enough about the Baratheon boys, let's look at Stannis looks at the world. He tells Davos that no one has ever loved him, and multiple characters, when reflecting on Stannis, say the same thing. And he still 'won' the War of the Five Kings (Because, after all, you win or you die, and Stannis alone survived) and is defending the realm at the Wall.
Now let's move from villainous hero to heroic villain, with Tyrion Lannister. I can think of only two characters that show Tyrion any genuine affection, and one of them isn't even in the current timeline. Yes, Tysha and Jaime. Jaime, out of guilt, (I think. If Jaime can be said to feel guilty for anything, I think his lie to Tyrion is about it) but it seems genuine all the same. At least until Tyrion goes off the sliding scale of anti-hero and murders two people. (Including his father, which would cool any brotherly feeling pretty quickly) At the other end of the spectrum, we have Tywin and Cersei. Now, Tywin took the Randyll Tarly approach to childrearin', and openly detests his son. Tywin offers Tyrion almost nothing but rebuke and insult, and even his compliments are backhanded. Does Tyrion go the route of Sam? No, because he's a lion. He becomes a voracious reader and an insatiable fan of prostitutes, the latter in open rebellion against his father.
As an aside, I find it odd that Tyrion is so fond of prostitutes, given his experience with Tysha. You'd think he'd be damaged irreparably by that, not seek out similar circumstances (as far as he knows) repeatedly. It probably has something to do with his appearance, but anyway.
Cersei's feelings for Tyrion are very apparent. She hates him with a passion, because she thinks he'll grow up to murder her. Like I've said elsewhere, this leads to him wanting to murder her. And then, of course, there are the smallfolk. He saves the city from Stannis' forces, and sees the citizens heap honor upon Tywin and Mace Tyrell. When he's made master of coin, he deftly comes up with a solution, the dwarf's penny, and faces ridicule. He's accused of murdering Joffrey (in fact, he's falsely convicted) based almost solely on his appearance. Is it any wonder how he turned out?
Unlike Stannis, who seems to have accepted that no one will ever love him and he might as well be a good man anyhow, Tyrion seems to have snapped and decided that if no one will love him because he looks like a monster, then a monster is what he'll become.
I don't know why, but feeling least loved of siblings is one of the biggest themes in the books. It's certainly good to create a resonance with the audience, after all, Stannis and Tyrion are my two favorite characters. Point of fact, except for Joffrey and the Freys, I really can't think of a character on this list that I don't like. And to be honest, Joffrey, as a character study, has grown on me quite a bit over the course of this. It makes a lot of his actions make sense. He's still a little shit, but he's a fascinating little shit.

Tim Fite: Ain't Ain't Ain't
Pianos Become The Teeth
Keep You
It's nice to hear the band stretching out and evolving, and even if Keep You requires a little more patience there is still much to like about it
All Music
The songs, although well assembled, lack the edge that the band is known for, which could be hazardous
It encapsulates the forward thinking and progressive attitude of a thriving and self-aware music scene. But throughout 'Keep You', you can't help but feel that something, somewhere is missing
Pianos Become The Teeth
Keep You
Keep You is a spectacular evolution, and shows this scene still has a few tricks left to pull
music OMH
It's challenging and aspirational, just not as powerful as they can be
The Music
Run The Jewels
Run The Jewels 2
No trend-hopping or kowtowing here. Just raw raps, expertly delivered by a painstaking producer and wonderfully descriptive rhymer
Grouper always creates music that demands a keen and patient ear. If you make the mistake of not lending the music your full attention the songs will disintegrate and thicken the atmosphere
The 405
The production is popping throughout, funky as hell, and often dotted with unexpected twists and turns
In an era of streaming immediacy, it begs to question why you would sit through 'Bazaar' rather than revisiting any of its constituent touchstones
Loud And Quiet
An album like RTJ2 is rare. Decades from now, this album may just be revered as one of the best hip-hop records of our era, the total synchronicity of two talented artists reaching the apex of their prime
Consequence Of Sound
The Twilight Sad
Nobody Wants To Be Here & Nobody Wants To Leave
Album number four is a storming congregation of everything you've heard, loved and hated about the last three moulded together
The Digital Fix
The Flaming Lips
With a Little Help From My Fwends
At times, the rampant sonic buffoonery makes the original sound positively humdrum
The Skinny
It shows an understanding of not only the direction of hip hop, but also of the evolution and prevalent music of the last decade
Paste Magazine
Tell 'Em I'm Gone
His voice remains intact, providing a familiar and favorable sound—especially on the simple "Cat & The Dog Trap"—whether Yusuf is quietly singing or leaning more toward a passionate bellow
A.V. Club

(Don't know your God Tier? Take the God Tier test here!)
My take on the God Tier and the way they are used in battle. None of these can be considered canon unless Hussie himself confirms it, either in comic or on his blog, so please do not consider them canon! Thank you! If you have any questions, feel free to send me an ask.
Heir: an offensive class that defends themselves using their aspects. More or less similar to a warrior, although it can vary between aspects. With offensive aspects, they use their aspect physically to attack the enemy and defend themselves. With supportive aspects, they use their aspect against the enemy by sending powerful physical attacks against said enemy that lowers the enemy's defense (depending on the aspect).
Witch: an interchangeable class, Witches are dependent on their aspects, and they manipulate their aspect to benefit their team. Witches paired with offensive aspects typically serve as offensive players, but when paired with defensive / elemental aspects, they instead use their aspect to debuff the other team.
Seer: a supporting class, they root out the weaknesses of the opposing team and use the weaknesses against them. Different aspects define different ways of detecting and using the weaknesses, as well as what said weaknesses are. A Seer of Heart could see your innermost desires and crush them before your eyes, while a Seer of Doom could see the ways to go about ensuring your demise.
Knight: a defensive class, they defend others by using their aspect. Having low attack but high defense, Knights die more often in battle than other classes. A Knight combined with an offensive aspect will attack the enemy in order to let their friends flee if they are weaker, and a Knight combined with a defensive / elemental aspect will use that aspect to weaken the enemy instead of attack.
Thief: offensive tank. Similar to the Rogue class, but instead of giving the buffs to the team, they give the buffs to themselves and go all out on offensive against the opponent. Sometimes they steal their own 'negative' sides or emotions and give it to the other team, such as a Thief of Rage. A Thief of Rage would take their own rage and curse the other team with it, causing them to go beserk, while they become calm-minded and more prepared.
Maid: a supportive class that uses their aspect to power up other team members. Maids use their aspects to buff the team, such as Regen (for Life) or Haste (for Time). Often enough, however, they can also use this against the other team, weakening them for short periods of time so that stronger members of their own team can wipe the opponent out.
Prince: the most powerful offensive class. They are literally destroyers, with the highest physical attack and the lowest defense, and their aspect is what they 'destroy' in the other team. A simple but extremely dangerous class, Princes paired with offensive aspects deal extremely high physical damage, but when paired with defensive aspects, they can completely destroy a person from the inside out while keeping them very much alive.
Page: a supportive class that acts as a war medic, in a sense. They have the defensive abilities of a Knight but instead of using their aspect to protect, they use it to heal other members of their team, using their high defense to keep their own health high while expending themselves for the sake of their team members. Pages combined with offensive aspects use the typical healing qualities of the aspect, but when combined with defensive / elemental aspects, they use it to cheer on their friends, by taking away debilitating status effects instead of replenishing their health.
Sylph: an interchangeable class, Sylphs are known for being extremely powerful no matter what aspect they have. Players with this Tier are known for having surprisingly unusual qualities in their personality that one might not detect otherwise, and this reflects in their powers. Sylphs paired wait until they have low health to deal powerful physical attacks to the opposite team, while when paired with defensive aspects, they use their aspect to lower the health and defense of the opposite team slowly, almost unnoticeable, until they deal a sudden powerful physical attack to finish them off. While they are debilitating their enemies, however, Sylphs can also heal other members of their party, losing their own health in the process.
Rogue: an interchangable class, they steal buffs from the opposite team and bestow said buffs on their own team members, expending themselves in the process. Rogues serve as an expendable class due to the fact that they use their aspect in every way possible: to attack and steal. Any buffs stolen are automatically reversed on themselves in the process, but the reversal does not affect the other party members. Therefore, a Rogue of Life who stole Regen from the opposite team would inflict on themselves Curse (the opposite of Regen; drains life), but the other members would still get Regen.
Mage: a defensive class, Mages utilize their aspects to prevent negative effects to befall the team with surprising foresight. While Seers use their aspect to root out the weaknesses in the opposing team, Mages use their aspect to detect their own team's weaknesses and prevent them from being exposed or used as a weapon. Mages with offensive aspects protect members of the team with low offense, while Mages with defensive aspects protect those with low defense.
Bard: the wildcard class. They aren't offensive, nor defensive, nor supportive. They use their aspect to invite destruction, chaos, confusion and otherwise, and it's truly different for each aspect. A Bard with a physical aspect utilizes their aspect to go berserk, causing chaos. A Bard with a defensive aspect unravels the aspect in the opposite team, destroying members from the inside out.
OFFENSIVE ASPECTS: Space, Breath, Mind, Rage, Doom, Light
DEFENSIVE ASPECTS: Blood, Heart, Time, Hope, Life, Void
Note on aspects: each aspect has healing qualities. Space heals physical wounds, Breath keeps players going despite very low health, Mind removes status effects as well as heals mentality, Rage can either calm players gone berserk or spur them into battle, Doom enhances the abilities of players, and Light bestows extra Luck on players to ensure more critical hits. Blood, Life, Heart, and Void heal health points. Hope removes status effects and heals mentality, and Time reverses physical wounds for a short period of time so that players can keep fighting.

THIS CHARMING MAN Lyrics - The Smiths
Review The Song (17)
A punctured bicycle
On a hillside desolate
Will nature make a man of me yet ?
When in this charming car
This charming man
Why pamper life's complexity
When the leather runs smooth
On the passenger seat
I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said "It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care"
A jumped up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
sponsored linksI would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said "It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care"
Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man ...
Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man ...
A jumped up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
New York version adds :
I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man ...
Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man ...
A jumped up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things

THIS CHARMING MAN | Reviewer: Zoila | 8/20/13
I've listened to this song hundreds of times and I've never thought anything but that it's about a young dude who's gay (but doesn't know it or admit it to himself yet), gets picked up by an older gay man, (possibly his future self - that's a good one, never thought of it) and all of a sudden it becomes clear to him who and what he is.
review | Reviewer: ldaly | 4/8/13
It's about meeting his future self! An ambitious young man who came from nothing and made something of himself. One may argue how he could meet his future self? But let's not pamper life's complexities! In other words don't read too much in to that bit just take it for what it is. Arts for arts sake!
Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay. | Reviewer: Arthur Rimbaud | 11/21/12
Okay, let us all go through this in steps. "Punctured bicycle on a hill side, desolated." Young man pops a bike tire on a hill side. "When this charming car, this charming man." Oh look, a dashing older-than-I gentlemen offers the young man a ride. "This man said "It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care"." The off hand compliment from older-than-I gentlemen. "He said "return the ring" He knows so much about these things." They continue talking and become infatuated with each other, when the young man tells the older man that he's going to propose to his lover the man tells him it's a bad idea, and infatuated by the elder man he convinces himself it is right to throw off the engagement. It's pretty much about a troubled young man taking advice from (and falling in love with) an older man who picks him up off the side of the road after his bike bursts a tire.
this charming man | Reviewer: X | 8/29/12
I never saw this song as being homosexual! I just thought that it was about a young lost guy who meets a classy man who teaches him life lessons and such. For example, "return the ring" being to tell him not to get married at such a young age, and everything. Like sort of 'making a man of him', like the start symbolizes.
4 mojos sake | Reviewer: johnnie | 2/24/12
beautiful catchy song with cool lyrics, i think of it as a noble gesture of an old man helping out a boy with a flat tire on his beat up ruinned bicycle, when the boy jumped to the leather passenger seat, he gets a hand full of wisdom and experienced perspectives that makes the boy feel confident enough to invite his girlfriend out even he knows he doesnt have a stitch to wear, but it doesnt matter cuz the boy is happy to go out with that special girl....beautiful!!!.
my point of view | Reviewer: sima | 9/26/11
I mean "this charming man" is reference to Morrissey himself. You know, he's so charming, but he's got such a pointless problems like he "haven't got a stitch to wear", or "punctured bicycle". And
"this man said it's gruesome that someone so handsome should care" about these little things. And yeah, it's actually all his life about: He is charming, but he's got such a issues with his shyness, self-confidence and stuff.
This song makes me happy | Reviewer: some random 13 year old | 8/10/11
Reading all of these reviews... Wow. I actually never thought of it that way. That's the same way my dad revealed the true nature of Steely Dan's Pearl of the Quarter (a man falls in love with a prostitute) XD. I don't tend to analyze the lyrics, I just like the sound of them and the music in the background. Tonight I was sad, I had cried earlier, then I played this song in my head and the upbeat sound of it made me feel better. I have a new song in my favorite songs list.
interpreting | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/24/11
I came here because I couldn't make out one of the words in the opening line. I had always interpreted this song to be about a kid raised in the boondocks, swept off his feet by an older, classier man. He's sort of lured into homosexuality, but is afraid to leave it, even when their class differences keep popping up.
simple enough | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/14/10
it's about a guy falling in love with a married man...simple enough no?
jumped up pantry boy is based on the play, Sleuth.
I've never seen it, but if i were to take a stab at it, it basically just says that the young boy was out of line for asking the man to leave his wife. i guess it is a bit condescending to say that he doesn't have a right to say it.
not so charmed man | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/19/09
i never actually cared to look for an actual interpretation of the lyrics. but it seems to me that the 'charming man' appears patronising. it seems like there is a difference in class between the two. from experience the upper classes have been known to be a little condescending in this situation. whatever interpretation you have, it works may it be positive for your husband or negative for somebody else.
Irony. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/5/09
Not writing any sort of analysis to the song in question ...
I'm just amused because this song makes me think of one person only. Someone with whom I passionately connected over the course of 8 days, someone I will probably never see again ... at least for many years.
It's just ironic because his name is Keith, a name that another reviewer mentioned, ha. I guess we all have our charming men ...
one of the best songs ever | Reviewer: danko | 9/19/07
another spectacular performance by Morrisey, words are too washed out to describe the quality!
Insanity | Reviewer: dre | 9/14/07
This song is insane!! I was on a hillside, flat tire in hand, and a charming man indeed saved me. Morrissey- I feel you! After that, I'm lost in a world of wonderous emotion. I write this with the only other person who can understand me. Keith. Are there others out there like us who feel what we feel?

A song about homoeroticism reminds you of your husband?

Campus construction update: Week of Jan. 21
In recent weeks we've learned what Dining Services director Christine Schwartz likes about the new dining Commons. Now it's the turn of Paul Farnsworth, Bates' project manager for the building. A mechanical engineer, Farnsworth especially appreciates the ventilation scheme. There's no building-wide air conditioning per se. Instead, it's essentially a natural system, he explained: the high-peaked main dining hall and an adjacent airshaft will create a chimney effect to pull fresh air in through windows that can actually be opened — an unusual feature these days in large new buildings.

Campus construction update: Week of Jan. 7
A student serving on a food advisory committee once told Christine Schwartz, Dining Services' director, that anticipating a meal at the current Memorial Commons is like getting psyched up for battle. "You pretty much have to fight your way through Commons now" because of the way the space is arranged, Schwartz said. New arrivals at mealtime, still burdened with coats and backpacks, immediately find themselves in a confusion of food stations and fellow diners pressing in all directions. All that will change when the new Commons opens in February.

Lamarr, Hedy
- Lamarr, Hedy
▪ 2001Hedwig Eva Maria KieslerAustrian-born American actress (b. Nov. 9, 1913, Vienna, Austria—d. Jan. 19, 2000, Orlando, Fla.), possessed such a combination of exotic glamour and sex appeal that she was labeled the movie world's most beautiful woman. Although she appeared opposite many of Hollywood's most famous male stars, her films were not highly regarded, and she never came to be considered to have much acting ability; she was remembered instead for her looks and her romantic liaisons, which included six marriages and divorces. Lamarr appeared in a few German-language films and stage productions before the Czech film Extase (1933; Ecstasy), with her steamy love scene and nude swimming sequence, gained her international notoriety after being denounced by the pope and banned in many countries. She moved to the U.S. in 1937 and made her Hollywood debut the following year in Algiers. Although that film was a hit, Lamarr's roles in such films as Lady of the Tropics (1939), I Take This Woman (1940), Boom Town (1940), and White Cargo (1942) were not well received. The performance she rated her best came in Tortilla Flat (1942), but it too failed to become a hit. Lamarr's femme fatale image finally found an appropriate vehicle in Samson and Delilah (1949), and it became her biggest box-office triumph, but she was unable to repeat that success in the films that followed, which included Copper Canyon (1950) and My Favorite Spy (1951). Her last film, The Female Animal, was released in 1958. Lamarr garnered headlines twice in her later life, in 1966 and 1991, when she was arrested on suspicion of shoplifting. She was cleared of the charges in both incidents. A lesser-known side of Lamarr was her intelligence; in 1942 she and composer George Antheil were granted a patent for a device that could prevent the jamming of radio signals. The military finally put it to use in 1962. During the Cuban missile crisis, and during the 1980s versions of it found a home in cellular phone technology, but the patent had lapsed in 1959, and Lamarr did not benefit from its application. She was, however, honoured by the Electronic Frontier Foundation in 1996.
* * *▪ Austrian actressoriginal name Hedwig Eva Maria Kieslerborn November 9, 1913, Vienna, Austriadied January 19, 2000, near Orlando, Florida, U.S.glamorous Austrian film star who was often typecast as a provocative femme fatale. Years after her screen career ended, she achieved recognition as a noted inventor of a radio communications device.The daughter of a prosperous Viennese banker, Lamarr was privately tutored from age four; by the time she was 10, she was a proficient pianist and dancer and could speak four languages. At age 16 she enrolled in Max Reinhardt (Reinhardt, Max)'s Berlin-based dramatic school, and within a year she made her motion picture debut in Geld Auf der Strasse (1930; Money on the Street). She achieved both stardom and notoriety in the Czech film Extase (1932; Ecstasy), in which she briefly but tastefully appeared in the nude. Her burgeoning career was halted by her 1933 marriage to Austrian munitions manufacturer Fritz Mandl, who not only prohibited her from further stage and screen appearances but also tried unsuccessfully to destroy all existing prints of Extase. After leaving the possessive Mandl, she went to Hollywood in 1937, where she appeared in her first English-language film, the classic romantic drama Algiers (1938).Under contract to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer from 1938 to 1945, she displayed her acting skills in such films as H.M. Pulham, Esq. (1941) and Tortilla Flat (1942). For the most part, however, she was confined to mostly decorative roles, such as that of Tondelayo in White Cargo (1942). Hoping to secure more substantial parts, she set up her own production company in 1946, but within three years she returned to her exotic stock-in-trade in Cecil B. DeMille (DeMille, Cecil B.)'s Samson and Delilah (1949), her most commercially successful film.Lamarr once insisted, "Any girl can be glamorous; all you have to do is stand still and look stupid." That she herself was anything but stupid was unequivocally proven during World War II, when, in collaboration with the avant-garde composer George Antheil (Antheil, George), she invented an electronic device that minimized the jamming of radio signals. Though it was never used in wartime, this device is a component of present-day satellite and cellular phone technology.Retiring from movies in 1958 (except for a cameo appearance in Instant Karma, 1990), Lamarr subsequently resurfaced in 1966 and 1991 when she was arrested on, and later cleared of, shoplifting charges; when she sued the collaborators on her 1966 autobiography Ecstasy and Me for misrepresentation; and when she took director Mel Brooks to court for including a character named Hedley Lamarr in his western spoof Blazing Saddles (1974). Married six times (her husbands included screenwriter Gene Markey and actor John Loder), she was living alone at the time of her death.Additional ReadingChristopher Young, The Films of Hedy Lamarr (1978).

This feature is excerpted, in slightly modified form, from the new book The Internet Police: How Crime Went Online, and the Cops Followed by Ars deputy editor Nate Anderson. It can currently be purchased as a hardback (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or local bookstores) or as an e-book (Amazon, iTunes, Barnes & Noble, or Google Play).
In the morning of September 10, 2008, US Postal Inspector Lori Heath had assembled a Baltimore team to raid the ramshackle Independence Street home of a suspected Internet child pornography kingpin. They got an early start; with help from local cops, Heath put the house under surveillance at 6:00am. By 8:30am, the full twelve-person group of postal inspectors, digital forensics specialists, and police officers was in position, but they couldn't act—Heath was stalled down at the District Court, still waiting to get her search warrant signed. Without it, the raid was on hold.
The target was Roger Lee Loughry Sr., a fiftysomething mechanic with a high-school education, a handlebar mustache, and a love for motorcycles. Heath, in constant communication with her team back on Independence Street, wanted her warrant before Loughry got spooked by the surveillance. While she waited, Loughry stepped out into the morning air, unkempt hair hanging to his shoulders. To ensure he didn't leave the property, the surveillance team broke from their vehicles and detained him next to his home.
At 9:00am, federal Magistrate Judge Beth Gesner signed off on the search warrant. Heath called her team immediately and they took Loughry back inside his home. Heath herself arrived shortly, crossed the dirt driveway, and let herself into the yard through the chain-link gate in the front fence.
The main source material for the piece was the hundreds of pages of transcripts detailing the trial of Roger Loughry in USA v. Savigar et al.—the Southern District of Indiana case used to prosecute most of The Cache defendants—along with other court documents and interviews with the lawyers involved. Full footnotes are available in the book.
The warrant team sat Loughry on a living room couch just to the right of the front door, then spent an hour and forty minutes combing the house. The vinyl-sided home was dilapidated; Heath's inspectors went two steps down into the basement, but the stairs were so rickety that she worried someone might fall through. Most of the time was spent on the second floor where Loughry had his bedroom, a home office, and his computer. The agents were seeking information that could tie Loughry to an Internet message board called "The Cache," a major site where members shared links to child pornography. The government had already penetrated the board's security and so knew the online "handles" of its members. The site's leader went by "DAS," while Loughry was suspected to be a co-administrator named "Mayorroger."
In addition to all the electronic evidence they collected, agents also discovered a scrap of paper with a cryptic address fragment scrawled in the lower right corner. Turning it over, they saw another notation: "Mr. D.A. Savigar, [house number redacted], Leyland, Preston, Lancashire, United Kingdom, PR251AH." It was the address for one Delwyn A. Savigar—whose initials spelled out "DAS"—and who was at that moment being arrested by the Lancashire Constabulary. Convinced now that she had the right guy, Heath went downstairs to speak with Loughry.
Loughry was willing to talk without a lawyer present, and he freely admitted to using the Mayorroger screen name for all sorts of online accounts; he had chosen it in the wake of a failed 1999 bid for mayor of Baltimore. He then volunteered that he was an admin for a site called The Cache—before Heath had even mentioned the name. Loughry claimed the position was just an "honorary" one, however; what most interested him about the site was a simple arcade game called "Army Corps." And what harm was there in that?
Heath had done her research, though; she pointed out that The Cache had actually dropped support for the game some time ago. She asked Loughry about child pornography on the site. He "figured" such material was being traded on the board, he said, but claimed that he had worked to stop its spread. "The only functions I performed there was I banned people for posting child pornography," he wrote in a signed statement at the end of this interview. "I did click the links to see their posts and then banned them… My understanding of 'The Cache' was they had adult porn and games. I have since left the site." He told Heath that viewing child pornography was a "sickness"—and unlike every other man swept up in Cache-related raids across the US, Loughry refused to plead guilty. He wanted his trial.
As a government lawyer would later put it, "We expect his essential defense in substance to be, I was only an administrator of an adult porn game board, 'The Cache.' I didn't know. I didn't intend to do any of the things that the other people are doing." The government didn't buy it. Would a jury? Read the full story

Access "EMC takes a stab at storage consulting services"
This article is part of the Vol. 1 No. 7 September 2002 issue of Managing data storage for remote employees
Hoping to tap a burgeoning market for storage services, EMC is expanding its professional services group to offer platform-independent consulting. Working with consulting luminary Accenture, EMC has formed the Information Solutions Consulting division, or ISC, which will consist of 200 consultants - 100 from each company. Accenture will lend its methodology, consulting know-how and relationships to the organization, but all revenue will flow through EMC. Initially, ISC will have four primary offerings: storage information strategy, information storage consolidation, storage management optimization and business continuity planning. EMC's hope for ISC is that it will "open our market to a much broader market, a much more heterogeneous world," says Joseph Walton, senior vice president of EMC Global Services. He backs up that statement with the promise that ISC "would recommend non-EMC technology as needed." But some observers "fear that customers will remain suspect of EMC's intentions," says IDC director Doug Chandler. The fact of the matter is, "most ... Access >>>

AOL - AOL - view on customers from AOL employee that works in the Retention Department
Posted on Wednesday, March 31st, 2004 at 12:00am CST by 13c06767
Company: AOL
Location: JACKSON, FLORIDA
Category: Internet Services
I am an AOL employee and just happened to stumble upon this website. I work in the Retention Department and I have been there a little over six months. I just want to say that my complaint is that half of these people who are complaining about their bills and services they supposedly did not sign up for aren't even telling the whole truth.
Why, you ask would they lie or make things up. It's not so much that but, rather than listening to the consultant they are speaking to or trying to help us work through the problem they get on the phone screaming and cussing about, "You M***** F******, are you stupid, I want my money back, and your going to give it to me or I'm going to kick your A$$."
The funny thing is I listen to these members everyday and I try to help them as much as possible but, in the end they don't get anything out of me if they treat me that way and the money I dont give to them goes to the members who treat me with respect and take responsibilities for their actions wrather trying to put it off on someone else. I'm not saying that mistakes don't happen and that I don't understand their frustration but, they need to take a step back and look at it from our view point. Everyday we get to sit and listen to people screaming at us for things we as the consultants didn't even do.
We only get so much that we can work with and that is all we've got and half the time if you would just listen to what we are saying instead of listening to what YOU want to hear you would understand and we can get it fixed. We are incapable of starting an account, signing you up for a premium service, or anything of the sort. You yourself have to do that from YOUR HOME COMPUTER or YOU have to request it after extensive verification and someone calls up and signs you up for it than they never should have had that information to begin with.
So, to sum it up. Please try to be a little more understanding when you call us that without us you don't get anything accomplished. We hold the key to anything that gets done or doesn't get done for that matter, to help you. The ruder and more hateful you are the less you will get out of me. So next time you want to call AOL and rant and rave, just remember that you get a lot more flies with sugar than you do vinegar.
