|Nonlinear optics is a broad field of research and technology that encompasses subject matter in the field of Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering. It is the branch of Optics that describes the behavior of light in nonlinear media, that is, media in which the dielectric polarization P responds nonlinearly to the electric field E of the light. This nonlinearity is typically only observed at very high light intensities. This area has applications in all optical and electro optical devices used for communication, optical storage and optical computing. Many nonlinear optical effects have proved to be versatile probes for understanding basic and applied problems. Nonlinear optical devices use nonlinear dependence of refractive index or absorption coefficient on the applied field. These nonlinear optical devices are passive devices and are referred to as intelligent or smart materials owing to the fact that the sensing, processing and activating functions required for optical processes are inherent to them which are otherwise separate in dynamic devices.The large interest in nonlinear optical crystalline materials has been motivated by their potential use in the fabrication of all-optical photonic devices. Transparent crystalline materials can exhibit different kinds of optical nonlinearities which are associated with a nonlinear polarization. The choice of the most suitable crystal material for a given application is often far from trivial; it should involve the consideration of many aspects. A high nonlinearity for frequency conversion of ultra-short pulses does not help if the interaction length is strongly limited by a large group velocity mismatch and the low damage threshold limits the applicable optical intensities. Also, it can be highly desirable to use a crystal material which can be critically phasematched at room temperature. Among the different types of nonlinear crystals, metal halides and tartrates have attracted due to their importance in photonics. Metal halides like lead halides have drawn attention because they exhibit interesting features from the stand point of the electron-lattice interaction .These materials are important for their luminescent properties. Tartrate single crystals show many interesting physical properties such as ferroelectric, piezoelectric, dielectric and optical characteristics. They are used for nonlinear optical devices based on their optical transmission characteristics. Among the several tartrate compounds, Strontium tartrate, Calcium tartrate and Cadmium tartrate have received greater attention on account of their ferroelectric, nonlinear optical and spectral characteristics. The present thesis reports the linear and nonlinear aspects of these crystals and their potential applications in the field of photonics.

|Combining intrinsically conducting polymers with carbon nanotubes (CNT) helps in creating composites with superior electrical and thermal characteristics. These composites are capable of replacing metals and semiconductors as they possess unique combination of electrical conductivity, flexibility, stretchability, softness and bio-compatibility. Their potential for use in various organic devices such as super capacitors, printable conductors, optoelectronic devices, sensors, actuators, electrochemical devices, electromagnetic interference shielding, field effect transistors, LEDs, thermoelectrics etc. makes them excellent substitutes for present day semiconductors.However, many of these potential applications have not been fully exploited because of various open–ended challenges. Composites meant for use in organic devices require highly stable conductivity for the longevity of the devices. CNT when incorporated at specific proportions, and with special methods contributes quite positively to this end.The increasing demand for energy and depleting fossil fuel reserves has broadened the scope for research into alternative energy sources. A unique and efficient method for harnessing energy is thermoelectric energy conversion method. Here, heat is converted directly into electricity using a class of materials known as thermoelectric materials. Though polymers have low electrical conductivity and thermo power, their low thermal conductivity favours use as a thermoelectric material. The thermally disconnected, but electrically connected carrier pathways in CNT/Polymer composites can satisfy the so-called "phonon-glass/electron-crystal" property required for thermoelectric materials. Strain sensing is commonly used for monitoring in engineering, medicine, space or ocean research. Polymeric composites are ideal candidates for the manufacture of strain sensors. Conducting elastomeric composites containing CNT are widely used for this application. These CNT/Polymer composites offer resistance change over a large strain range due to the low Young"s modulus and higher elasticity. They are also capable of covering surfaces with arbitrary curvatures.Due to the high operating frequency and bandwidth of electronic equipments electromagnetic interference (EMI) has attained the tag of an "environmental pollutant", affecting other electronic devices as well as living organisms. Among the EMI shielding materials, polymer composites based on carbon nanotubes show great promise. High strength and stiffness, extremely high aspect ratio, and good electrical conductivity of CNT make it a filler of choice for shielding applications. A method for better dispersion, orientation and connectivity of the CNT in polymer matrix is required to enhance conductivity and EMI shielding. This thesis presents a detailed study on the synthesis of functionalised multiwalled carbon nanotube/polyaniline composites and their application in electronic devices. The major areas focused include DC conductivity retention at high temperature, thermoelectric, strain sensing and electromagnetic interference shielding properties, thermogravimetric, dynamic mechanical and tensile analysis in addition to structural and morphological studies.

|The main objective of this thesis is to design and develop spectral signature based chipless RFID tags Multiresonators are essential component of spectral signature based chipless tags. To enhance the data coding capacity in spectral signature based tags require large number of resonances in a limited bandwidth. The frequency of the resonators have to be close to each other. To achieve this condition, the quality factor of each resonance needs to be high. The thesis discusses about various types of multiresonators, their practical implementation and how they can be used in design. Encoding of data into spectral domain is another challenge in chipless tag design. Here, the technique used is the presence or absence encoding technique. The presence of a resonance is used to encode Logic 1 and absence of a speci c resonance is used to encode Logic 0. Di erent types of multiresonators such as open stub multiresonators, coupled bunch hairpin resonators and shorted slot ground ring resonator are proposed in this thesis.
|In general, linear- optic, thermo- optic and nonlinear- optical studies on CdSe QDs based nano uids and their special applications in solar cells and random lasers have been studied in this thesis. Photo acous- tic and thermal lens studies are the two characterization methods used for thermo- optic studies whereas Z- scan method is used for nonlinear- optical charecterization. In all these cases we have selected CdSe QDs based nano uid as potential photonic material and studied the e ect of metal NPs on its properties. Linear optical studies on these materials have been done using vari- ous characterization methods and photo induced studies is one of them. Thermal lens studies on these materials give information about heat transport properties of these materials and their suitability for applica- tions such as coolant and insulators. Photo acoustic studies shows the e ect of light on the absorption energy levels of the materials. We have also observed that these materials can be used as optical limiters in the eld of nonlinear optics. Special applications of these materials have been studied in the eld of solar cell such as QDSSCs, where CdSe QDs act as the sensitizing materials for light harvesting. Random lasers have many applications in the eld of laser technology, in which CdSe QDs act as scattering media for the gain.
|In the first part of the study we probed the effectiveness of rice bran oil as a multipurpose compounding ingredient for nitrile (NBR) and chloroprene (CR) rubbers. This oil has already been successfully employed in the compounding of NR and SBR in this laboratory.In this context we thought it worthwhile to try this oil in the polar rubbers viz, NBR and CR also. The principle of like dissolves like as applicable to solvents is equally applicable while selecting a plasticiser, elastomer combination. Because of the compatibility considerations polar plasticisers are preferred for polar rubbers like NBR and CR. Although plasticisation is a physical phenomenon and no chemical reaction is involved, the chemical structure of plasticisers determines how much physical attraction there is between the rubber and the plasticiser. In this context it is interesting to note that the various fatty acids present in rice bran oil have a long paraffinic chain, characteristic of waxes, with an acid group at the end of the molecule. The paraffinic end of the molecule contributes lubricating effects and limits compatibility whereas the acid end group contributes some polarity and is also chemically reactive. Because of absorption of acid group on the surface of pigments, these acids will have active pigment wetting characteristics also. These factors justifies the role of rice bran oil as a co-activator and lubricating agent for NBR and CR. In fact in our study we successfully replaced stearic acid as co-activator and aromatic oillDOP as processing aid for CR and NBR with rice bran oil.This part of the study has got special significance in the fact that rubber industry now heavily depends on petroleum industry for process oils. The conventional process oils like aromatic, naphthenic and paraffinic oils are increasingly becoming costlier, as its resources in nature are fast depleting. Moreover aromatic process oils are reported to be carcinogenic because of the presence of higher levels of polycyclic aromatic compounds in these oils.As a result of these factors, a great amount research is going on world over for newer processing aids which are cost effective, nontoxic and performanance wise at par with the conventional ones used in the rubber industry. Trials with vegetable oils in this direction is worth trying.Antioxidants are usually added to the rubber compound to minimise ageing effects from heat, light, oxygen etc. As rice bran oil contains significant amount of tocopherols and oryzanol which are natural antioxidants, we replaced a phenolic antioxidant like styrenated phenol (SP) from the compound recipe of both the rubbers with RBO and ascertained whether this oil could function in the role of antioxidant as well.Preparation and use of epoxidised rice bran oil as plasticiser has already been reported.The crude rice bran oil having an iodine value of 92 was epoxidised in this laboratory using peracetic acid in presence of sulphuric acid as catalyst. The epoxy content of the epoxidised oil was determined volumetrically by treating a known weight of the oil with excess HCI and back titrating the residual HCI with standard alkali solution. The epoxidised oil having an epoxy content of 3.4% was tried in the compounding of NBR and CR as processing aids. And results of these investigations are also included in this chapter. In the second part of the study we tried how RBO/ERBO could perform when used as a processing aid in place of aromatic oil in the compounding of black filled NRCR blends. Elastomers cannot have all the properties required for a particular applications, so it is common practice in rubber industry to blend two elastomers to have desired property for the resulting blend.In this RBO/ERBO was tried as a processing aid for plasticisation, dispersion of fillers, and vulcanisation of black filled NR-CR blends.Aromatic oil was used as a control. The results of our study indicate that these oils could function as a processing aid and when added together with carbon black function as a cure accelerator also.PVC is compatible with nitrile rubber in all proportions, provided NBR has an acrylonitrile content of 25 to 40%. Lower or higher ACN content in NBR makes it incompatible with PVC.PVC is usually blended with NBR at high temperatures. In order to reduce torque during mixing, additional amounts of plasticisers like DOP are added. The plasticiser should be compatible both with PVC and NBR so as to get a homogeneous blend. Epoxidised soyaben oil is reported to have been used in the compounding of PVC as it can perfonn both as an efficient plasticiser and heat stabilizer.At present DOP constitute the largest consumed plasticiser in the PVC compounding. The migration of this plasticiser from food packaging materials made of PVC poses great health hazards as this is harmful to human body. In such a scenario we also thought it worthwhile to see whether DOP could be replaced by rice bran oil in the compounding of NBR-PVC blends Different blends of NBR-PVC were prepared with RBO and were vulcanized using sulphur and conventional accelerators. The various physical and mechanical properties of the vulcanisates were evaluated and compared with those prepared with DOP as the control plasticiser. Epoxidised rice bran oil was also tried as plasticiser for the preparation of NBR-PVC blends. A comparison of the processability and cure characteristics of the different blends prepared with DOP and ERBO showed that ERBO based blends have better processability and lower cure time values. However the elastographic maximum torque values are higher for the DOP based blends. Almost all of the physical properties evaluated are found to be slightly better for the DOP based blends over the ERBO based ones. However a notable feature of the ERBO based blends is the better percentage retention of elongation at break values after ageing over the DOP based blends. The results of these studies using rice bran oil and its epoxidised variety indicated that they could be used as efficient plasticisers in place of DOP and justifies their role as novel, nontoxic, and cheap plasticisers for NBR-PVC blends.

|Various synthesis routes have been developed in recent years for the preparation of nanoparticles. One of those methods is polymer induced crystallization. The first objective of the present work was to prepare nano ZnO powder by polymer induced crystallization in chitosan solution and to characterize the material using different techniques like TEM, SEM, XRD, FTLR, UV spectroscopy, TGA, DSC etc.The second object of the study is to prepare composites using nano ZnO. It has been undertaken to explore the potential of nano ZnO as reinforcement in engineering as well as commodity thermoplastics to widen their application spectra. We selected three engineering thermoplastics like [poly ethylene terephthalate, polyamide 6, and polycarbonate] and three commodity plastics like [polypropylene, high density polyethylene, and polystyrene] for the study. To date one of the few disadvantages associated with nanoparticle incorporation has concerned toughness and impact performance. Modification of polymers could reduce impact performance. The present study also focused on whether nano ZnO can act as a modifier for thennoplastics, without sacrificing their impact strength.

|The coplanar wave guide is an attractive device in microwave integrated circuits due to its uniplanar nature, ease of fabrication and low production cost. Several attempts are already done to explore the radiating modes in coplanar wave guide transmission lines. Usually coplanar wave guides are excited by an SMA connector with its centre conductor connected to the exact middle of the centre strip and the outer ground conductor to the two ground strips. The mode excited on it is purely a bound mode. The E-field distribution in the two slots are out of phase and there for cancels at the far field. This thesis addresses an attempt to excite an in phase E-field distribution in the two slots of the co planar wave guide by employing a feed asymmetry, in order to get radiation from the two large slot discontinuities of the coplanar waveguide. The omni directional distribution of the radiating energy can be achieved by widening the centre strip.The first part of the thesis deals with the investigations on the resonance phenomena of conventional coplanar waveguides at higher frequency bands. Then an offset fed open circuited coplanar waveguide supporting resonance/radiation phenomena is analyzed. Finally, a novel compact co planar antenna geometry with dual band characteristics, suitable for mobile terminal applications is designed and characterized using the inferences from the above study.

|This research project explores the utilization of cardanol in various capacities for rubber processing. Cardanol is a phenol with a long side chain in the meta position of the benzene ring. It is obtained by the vacuum distillation of cashew Hut shell liquid (CNSL) which is a cheap agro-byproduct. In this study, the plasticizer property of cardanol was investigated in silica filled and HAF black filled NR, NBR, EPDM and CR by comparing cure characteristics and mechanical properties of vulcanizates containing conventional plasticizer with those containing cardanol as plasticizer. The co-activator, antioxidant and accelerator properties were investigated in gum samples of NR, NBR, EPDM and CR by comparing the properties of vulcanizates which contain conventional co-activator, antioxidant and accelerator with those in which each of them was replaced by cardanol. The general effectiveness of cardanol was investigated by determination of cure time , measurement of physical and mechanical properties, ageing studies, crosslink density, extractability, FTIR spectra, TGA etc.The results show that cardanol can be a substitute for aromatic oil in both silica filled and HAF black filled NR. Again, it can replace dioctyl phthalate in both silica filled and HAF black filled NBR. Similarly, cardanol Can replace naphthenic oil in silica filled as well as HAF black filled EPDM and CR. The cure characteristics and mechanical properties are comparable in all the eight cases. The co-activator property of cardanol is comparable to stearic acid in all the four rubbers. The cure characteristics and mechanical properties in this case are also comparable. The antioxidant ,property of cardanol is comparable to TQ in all the four rubbers. The antioxidant property of cardanol is comparable to TQ in all the four case of NBR and EPDM.The accelerator property of cardarlol is comparable with CBS in the case of NBR and EPDM. No accelerator property is observed in the case of NR. The accelerator property of cardanol in CR is not negligible when compared with TMTD.

|A major challenge in the transmission of narrow pulses is the radiation characteristics of the antenna. Designing the front ends for UWB systems pose challenges compared to their narrow and wide band counterparts because in addition to having electrically small size, high efficiency and band width, the antenna has to have excellent transient response. The present work deals with the design of four novel antenna designs- Square Monopole, Semi-Elliptic Slot, Step and Linear Tapered slot - and an assay on their suitability in UWB Systems. Multiple resonances in the geometry are matched to UWB by redesigning the ground-patch interfaces. Techniques to avoid narrow band interference is proposed in the antenna level and their effect on a nano second pulse have also been investigated. The thesis proposes design guidelines to design the antenna on laminates of any permittivity and the analyzes are complete with results in the frequency and time domains.

Skip to comments.How Rick Perry turned on the Tea Party
Posted on 06/02/2012 11:25:41 AM PDT by Qbert
Upon Chief Justice Taneys death, President Lincoln was tasked with replacing the Chief Justice of SCOTUS. Monty Blair had served as a loyal friend throughout Lincolns first administration. Likewise, Edward Bates had proven his loyalty to Lincoln over-and-over again. Both were well qualified men. Both greatly desired the position. Yet, in the end, Lincoln knew that there was but one choice that would best serve the Union. He knew that although Salmon Chase had essentially been dismissed from his Cabinet in disgrace and although Chase had been anything but loyal to Mr. Lincoln, Chase was an abolitionist and the one to right the wrongs of the Taney court and their Dred Scott decision. Lincoln understood that the personal relationships that he had built were not necessary what was best for the country.
Following the massive 2008 defeat of Republicans from sea-to-shining-sea, Senator Jim DeMint boldly decided that what the country needed was true conservatives willing to stand up to big spending republicans. He didnt make a lot of friends when he began endorsing insurgent Tea Party candidates through his Senate Conservative Fund, but he did make a difference. His Senate colleagues turned their back on him. But he pressed on and he helped fuel a conservative revolution that pushed the party and the nation in a rightward direction. He knew that the fate of the country was more important than the job security of some of his DC friends.
If only Rick Perry could grasp this concept.
During the Texas U.S. Senate primary, Governor Rick Perry was presented with two options ok he was presented with nine candidate options, but two true options for the republican nomination. The establishment man, the most powerful republican in Texas, David Dewhurst big spender, massive appropriator, earmarker, a guy who had more in common with the guys across the aisle, than the guys on his side of the aisle, or Jim DeMint and Sarah Palin backed Ted Cruz.
Perry chose poorly, he sided with Dewhurst. As Ive said a thousand times before. I dont have a problem with RINOs from Maine. I dont have a problem with liberal republicans like Kirk and Brown from Illinois and Massachusetts, but I do have a problem with a Mark Kirk coming from to us from Texas.
This isnt even to say that someone who works across the aisle is not to be desired. It is however, to say that someone who works with Ds more often than Rs would best serve the American people by staying in Texas.
Democrats dont nominate a candidate in the mold of Joe Manchin in California or New York. They nominate a Feinstein or Boxer. While it is true that a political party should be a big tent and allow moderates in, the moderates cant come from the conservative states (Im talking to you Lindsey Graham). We should elect moderates from moderate states and conservatives from conservative states. Moderates arent the ones looking to save the country by capping the debt ceiling, lowering spending, etc.
But, without thanks to Mr. Perry, Mr. Cruz the law clerk of William Rehnquist and a Hispanic American from the Harvard Law Review will now face off in a run-off election with Mr. Dewhurst. Again, we have the establishment wing of the party stuck in a different age while the Tea Party continues to find talent in minorities and ideals that win elections. Rick Perry might want to reconsider his strategy.
"Perry chose poorly, he sided with Dewhurst. As Ive said a thousand times before. I dont have a problem with RINOs from Maine. I dont have a problem with liberal republicans like Kirk and Brown from Illinois and Massachusetts, but I do have a problem with a Mark Kirk coming from to us from Texas."
Shoot, the GOP is set to nominate a liberal to run for President, so why shouldn't Texas nominate one for the Senate race?
Actually, it is at least equally likely that Lincoln saw putting Chase on the court as an effective way of getting rid of a political rival.
Never forget that Cruz got only 34% of the republicans that voted to pull the lever for him in the primary. So more than just Perry must have seen the race differently or chose wrong.
Rick Perry has sided with Dewhurst only because Perry wants him out of Austin.
Actually to think that Cruz, who was unknown a year ago could get 34% in a race with a man who had been in the public eye for 11 years and in a race with 8 other people including a former mayor of the second largest city in the state so he had name recognition and even including Crag James who has name recognition if only sports name recognition
to go against all that and to get 34% is pretty remarkable. There must be something in his message that attracts people
and now that it is down to a 2 person race i will pay attention to what each offers.
"Never forget that Cruz got only 34% of the republicans that voted to pull the lever for him in the primary."
Yeah, in a race in which... nine people were running.
(And Dewhurst only got ten percent more than Cruz).
And, never forget that Dewberry couldn't even get 50% of the vote in the primary.
Perry is a democrat who switched parties...not ideaology. He is a cronygovernment guy. anyone that thought he was a Tea Party kind of pol was suckered.
Yep three candidates got a little over 91% of the vote with the remainder going to the other 6. All I'm saying is that the Cruz group didn't sway much over 1/3 of the voters. That says something, what I'm not sure. Now he's head up in the runoff and that will be a different ball game. But the primary race results still remain.
well Cruz will have 4 more votes with my daughters, wife and myself voting. I'll do my part with texting, messaging and emailing all my friends and contacts that are friends to get out and vote. might even do a follow up phone call. Who knows? Might help get Cruz in.
Having said that, he's dead wrong on this one. He should NOT be supporting the Milquetoast Dewhurst. Don't know what he's thinking here
So was Reagan
RP is now showing his true colors as an entrenched, elitist Republican who believes that political cronyism is the way to go and cronies are the ones who should hold whatever office.
Yey you are correct but he had 10.4% more than his nearest competitor. The runoff will be a different race with a lower turnout and dependent upon which one can get their supporters out. It may well bode better for Cruz.
"That says something, what Im not sure.."
It says that the presumptive candidate wasn't able to get more than ten percent against an upstart. The momentum is with Cruz.
...course he will have to go back to his Democrat roots.
An important point that GWB never quite grasped.
Dewhurst has worked with Rick Perry for a long time. If he had not supported Dewhurst, Perry would have looked terrible. He had no choice. I voted for Cruz, but I also understood why Perry supported Dewhurst.
Cruz will destroy Dewhurst in a debate.
"RP is now showing his true colors as an entrenched, elitist Republican who believes that political cronyism is the way to go and cronies are the ones who should hold whatever office."
Yep. Underneath it all, he's basically a political opportunist who lacks true Conservative instincts.
He never left them. Many voted anyone but Dewhurst. Even with that, I'm worried he might get the votes especially with those lying political ads about Cruz. BTW, Cruz got two votes from this household and he'll get them again next time.
La Raza Rick continues to prove the arguments those who opposed his candidacy have been making about him. He is no conservative and he is certainly not on the side of the TEA Party.
You maybe correct. But we'll know in 60 days what the voters will say not our speculating.
Perry would have looked terrible.
Is that kinda like situation when someone supporter McCain?
It's a win-win for Rick either way.
If Dewhurst wins, he's rid of him.
If Dewhurst loses and remains Lt. Gov., Perry can always remind him that he owes him a favor.
money and name recognition got Dewhurst about 45%. Cruz was a clear winner of the rest of the field, and built up his name rec in a relatively short time.
About what Romney got until everyone else dropped out.
So was Mayor Bloomberg, what is your point?
Perry's got his pros and cons. In this situation, Perry is demonstrating one of his biggest weaknesses. While he's a limited government kind of guy, he is no stranger to crony capitalism and the buddy system...scratch my back/I'll scratch yours. It is prevelent in all politics, and definitely in the Texas Republican party. Here, Perry is backing his guy.
I don't blame him for the endorsement. As others said, it is his Lt Governor, and to not do so would be poor. That said, he's made some pretty strong statements (such as warning outsiders to stay out of TX politics), that shows a little more about Perry.
You are correct in that he got about 62% of the non Dewhurst vote. The question remains where will that other 38% non Dewhurst/Cruz vote go in the runoff. It will be interesting no doubt and generally when someone like Dewhurst gets forced into a runoff they'll lose. Turnout should be lower and diehard supporters will have a larger impact which may favor Cruz. We'll know in 60 days. I'm reminded of the AK Senator race a couple years back where a write in beat the primay winner.
Don't confuse Perry with Reagan.
Reagan was a 1930s/1940s democrat, not an anti-Reagan democrat that only switched parties after HW Bush replaced President Reagan in 1988.
That's what I get for going by memory, Perry wanted to replace Reagan with Al Gore in 1988.
To: *****
A Perry thread means Reagan being dragged through the mud, Reagan last voted for a Democrat President in 1948, the WWII era.
Perry was wanting to replace President Reagan with an Al Gore Democrat just as Reagans administration was on the verge of Cold War victory in 1988.

the difference was regan started a revolution and Perry stayed ture to is core - Help your friends by spending gov. moeny with them. Not exactly the same life story. Maybe that is why Perry lasted one debate and looked worse in all rest - there is no there there.
Cruz for Senate: Texas GOP has a future. Dewhurst: Megayawn. If Texas has to settle for this useless elitist POS and compromise, compromise, compromise, then politics is useless and we need to destroy the GOP and start over again.
I wasn't comparing Perry to Reagan. No one would be so foolish... I simply implied that converting from Dem to Rep many decades ago, in itself, doesn't mean someone can't be trusted, or can't be a conservative... When Perry was a Dem, most conservatives in the South were Dems...
Thanks for you comment - I am not one of those who defends all things Ronnie, but what has upset me is what the Tea Party is all about...spending. Folks like Perry are "tough"on taxes until you see all the hidden ways people are taxed. The real TX tax rate is not low, and the money that pours in from property taxes and user fees is used to pay off insiders. I hate it in TX and in Washington.
Thanks. The only person in the past 20 years who could have come close to being Reagan-esque- if given the change, was Palin. Perhaps in 4 or 8 years, her star will rise again, as POTUS, and she'll have an opportunity to prove it
I think that Sarah, a well qualified leader, is going to be more like Breitbart than Ronnie. She will make some unknowns members of the political class and they MAY do what is needed.

Like most posters here - I'm new here and struggling - a bit. A little guidance would be nice.
I have an xml file called - look.
The - look - xml file comes with a look swf - and - a look fla file.
The - look - xml file is linked (somehow) to a menu, so, when you click on the menu button the look file opens.
I have cloned the look-xml file, the swf-file and fla-file. I now want to rename and recode them to - see-xml, see-swf and see-fla. Once they are renamed and recoded, I would like see-xml to be a button on the menu.
The files are made with flash cs3, actionscript 2. I have some flash, xml, experience but less AS experience...but I'm a fast learner if someone can point me in the right direction.

China Endorses Plan to Step Up Solar Power Demand After 2015
The Chinese government said it will accelerate the pace of solar power installations after 2015, part of a program including funds from the state to cap carbon emissions while satisfying the nation's demand for electricity.
The State Council said it aims to boost solar power capacity to 50 gigawatts in 2020 from 21 gigawatts targeted for 2015. About 3.6 gigawatts are installed now, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance data. The government will promote private investment in the industries and set up "special" funds for research, the council said.
The world's biggest producer of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning said it aims to derive 4.5 percent of its energy from low-carbon sources and pare at least 400 million tons of CO2 a year by 2015. Last year about 0.6 percent of its energy came from renewable, according to figures from BP Plc.
The targets and fund "will certainly create opportunities for technology innovation," said Jessica Ng, an analyst for New Energy Finance in Beijing.
The world's second-biggest economy is harnessing low-emissions energy generated from the sun, wind and biomass to help meet its target of cutting greenhouse-gas emissions by 17 percent per unit of gross domestic product in its five-year plan through 2015. China wants to have 100 gigawatts of wind, 21 gigawatts of solar and 13 gigawatts of biomass power installed capacity by 2015, according to the statement.
By 2020, the country plans to double the wind capacity from 2015 and targets 50 gigawatts of solar and 30 gigawatts of biomass installed capacity.
The nation aims to have 40 gigawatts of nuclear power installed capacity by 2015.

If you live in the U.S., you should be able to pre-order one of Asus' new all-in-one Eee desktops right now. Amazon has put up a listing for a 15.6" Eee Top model priced at $599.99, although it says the item "has not yet been released" and neglects to mention an availability date.
The Eee Top ET1602 has a built-in 15.6" touch-screen display, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, 802.11n Wi-Fi, a 1.3-megapixel camera, and a bundled keyboard and mouse. The system comes with Windows XP pre-loaded, so you can pretty much think of it as a glorified nettop. $600 isn't necessarily cheap for that kind of hardware, especially when you can grab a head-less Eee Box B202 and a separate 19" wide-screen display for just under $400 before shipping. However, $600 is also exactly half the price of Apple's cheapest iMac, so Asus may still conquer some all-in-one PC aficionados.
Speaking of Asus nettops, Reg Hardware reports that the Eee Box B206 is now available in the United Kingdom for £310 ($437). Asus unveiled that system last December, promising typical Eee Box specifications—an Atom N270, 160GB hard drive, and 802.11n Wi-Fi—but with an AMD Radeon HD 3400 instead of the sluggish Intel integrated graphics.

Bush And McCain Try To Steal Credit For Webb's GI Bill That They Consistently Worked To Defeat
Yesterday, House leaders in both parties struck a deal on a war supplemental bill that includes expanded college benefits for veterans. The GI Bill is Sen. Jim Webb's (D-VA) version, as well as a provision allowing troops to transfer the benefits to family members. President Bush has promised to sign the legislation.
Now, however, Bush and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) — the two most vocal opponents of Webb's bill — are trying to take credit for it. They are claiming that they always supported the generous benefits — their main concern was just ensuring the benefits' transferability:
McCain: That has always been my primary concern with respect to the Webb bill. … With the addition of the transferability provisions sought by Senators Graham, Burr, myself and others to give service members the right to transfer earned G.I. Bill benefits to spouses and children, we will have achieved in offering vastly improved educational benefit.
Bush: Throughout the past five months, President Bush and members of his Administration have worked hard to ensure that an expansion of GI benefits includes transferability. … The President is pleased that Congress answered his call.
Webb said that he had been considering changing his bill to include a transferability option. But instead of working with him, McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) went ahead and introduced an opposing bill. While it did have transferability, it also had less generous educational benefits.
This was never the real reason Bush and McCain opposed the legislation. Their constant complaint was that Webb's version was too generous and would lead to a drop in military retention:
McCain: "I want to make sure that we have incentives for people to remain in the military as well as for people to join the military."
Bush administration: "The last thing we want to do is provide a benefit — or the last thing we want to do is create a situation in which we are losing our men and women who we have worked so hard to train."
As the CBO concluded, these claims about retention were inaccurate. The Pentagon also argued that it was too generous to confer benefits on troops after "only" two years of service, and legislation offered by McCain and his Senate allies would have reserved the most generous benefits for those who have served at least 12 years, excluding most servicemembers.

New Carnifex live track
Junz hard.
Sounds like a stepback from their previous album, abundance of breakdowns.
damn how did i know this was going to be a simba article??
cause im the only guy on sput that cares about this band prob
there were a few junz but they didnt sound forced to me which is good
breakdowns doesnt necessarily mean bad
from what i can make out the riffs sound good but its hard to tell
Oh fuckyeah, I'm gonna write a review for this when it comes out
I love these guys. Last two albums have been super dope, don't see this being any different.
I've always appreciated these guys taking the "death" in deathcore more seriously than other bands in the genre; looking forward to checking this out.
sounds awesome
so much possitive feedback for this, sounds pretty much hell chose me-ish, btw i didnt knew they were back
I like Carnifex because I like moshing
One of the few deathcore bands I still enjoy
these guys are really fun live
Until I Feel Nothing was solid as hell
Digging: Ilaria Graziano - Yoko Kanno produce Cyber Bicci
Hellyeah it was. They abandoned a large chunk of the deathcore and went for blackened death metal for
a lot of it
random riffs and fewer breakdowns
wow shuyin is cool
These guys were good live. They bring back the 2007-2008 scene kid version of me that listened to stuff like this.
sounds kinda neat
Surprise surprise, they still lick ass.
Sweet yo
my balls fucking melted @ 1:43 holy shit.
Awesome song. Hey
People still listen to deathcore?
lol apparently
Ever since Hell Chose Me, this band's been an exception to the shitty nature of deathcore imo
Deathcore is great.

Not a whole lot going in the game area for me at the moment. A couple weeks ago I bought a PSP..don't think I actually posted after buying it. So yeah I don't really regret buying but I have to admit the damn thing is kinda boring. I wish there were more games available. I only purchased Twisted Metal but I plan on renting some games at Blockbuster to test them out before buying. Does anyone else think it's slightly rediculous to pay the same price as Xbox and PS2 games for PSP games? Kinda Craziness. I gotta start saving my money for the sexxxy XbOx 360 at some point.
Been wanting to buy Conker: Live and Reloaded. Since I usually play my games online, this looks to be a lot of fun. Anyone else played it on Live yet?
And finally, I have went back to playing my beloved Animal Crossing on the Cube. Now for some unknown reason this game is almost addicting as the crizzack. I think this game was made for like 4 year olds and I'm fuckin 21 and I LOVE it lol.

So, my boyfriend and I have been at the Phoenician Pines a little over a year now. For the price and location, it's good. Not blow your hair back great, but good. We have a two bedroom two bath we're getting for under $800 a month. We're right by the loop 101 and I-17. It's a very average phoenix neighborhood--not the most upscale, but not the slums, older homes with families. I would say this is a great transition apartment if you can afford it. If you're probably in your mid-twenties to mid-thirties and need a "grown up" living space but aren't quite ready for a house, this is a good location. Lately a lot of younger kids (late teens and twenty somethings) have been moving in, but it's not enough of an issue at this point to drive me away. HOWEVER--please be warned. I keep seeing reviews about the staff and I'm surprised any of the renters have even been able to see the staff. I've tried at all hours of the day, every day of the week and no one is ever in the HOA office. If they are, they apparently refuse to answer the door. They take ridiculously long breaks (they are now closed for a week off for 4th of July...seriously, a whole week) and are regularly closed for "training" days. The posted ours are Monday-Friday 9-4. They are never available and do not respond to calls or emails. That being said, it's nice that they leave you alone. They aren't always hounding you about things or nit picking your living. On the flip side, they don't enforce rules. A lot of neighbors don't pick up after their pets in the community areas, which isn't punished. A lot of neighbors have patios riddled with weeds or cigarette butts. There is often scattered trash in the parking lot. Again, these things don't affect me enough to leave, if you're living in an apartment you have to realize you're living around others who don't live as you do, so no matter how respectable and clean you might be, others won't be the same. Some of this the apartment can't really enforce unless they kick people out. The apartment itself is great. Good size, good price. Out unit is perfect space for two. Laundry in unit.The building is older so we've had some garbage disposal and air conditioning issues, but thankfully I'm handy enough to fix them myself. Again, not needing the office staff, which is good because I know I wouldn't get any help. From what I hear from my neighbors, even if you contact the staff for repairs it can take them weeks to get to you. Haven't had any issues with break-ins or theft. Each apartment has an alarm but we've never bothered using ours. We keep to ourselves but we made a point to meet our neighbors. We're always friendly to those in the community--its always a good idea to build that support, it makes it so we look out for one another. That being said, it feels like a pretty safe area. Sort of going off of general lists: the noise is average for an apartment. You're by a busy street so you'll hear traffic and an occasional loud vehicle. Most neighbors are quite, at least around us they are. The grounds are kept pretty well, aside from trash every now and then that flies out of the trash on pick up days. People tend to not pick up after pets, but that's not the apartments' fault, per say. Safety is good, the gate breaks on occasion (usually because idiots drive into it) but they get it fixed relatively quickly. All of the apartments to my knowledge have alarms so that's a plus. Maintenance is below average. Don't expect speedy service. Can't comment on the staff as I have never actually met them. So, out of 10 I would give this place a 6.5, maybe a 7. If you can handle apartment living, this is the same as most places. You'll fight for open parking and deal with idiots, but that's any apartment. Just be prepared to do repairs yourself and not rely on the staff. Honestly though, I would recommend this place to friends that aren't needy renters.

I have lived at Deer Valley Regency Apts for 2 years now and I have had no problems (with the exception of a few Maint issues) and even those were taken care of within 24 hours, one was my own fault (ummm, clogged toilet!) the others were just lights and normal stuff. They changed the Mgr and Maint Supv about 6 months ago and they are always both really friendly and seem to care about the Apt complex and the people who live here a lot more then the previous staff. I just recently signed a new 1 year lease and I thought for sure my rent would go up and it didn't (thank God :) I live close to Happy Valley rd and every store you can imagine is there and plenty of places to eat, not to mention living close to I-17 and the 101. I will admit that my job is a little far (Downtown) but is so worth it, I love not having to live in the middle of Phoenix! Anyway, just wanted to give my Apt complex some props for making where I live, a great place to live :)

For Single level nav:
<?php wp_menu('nav_type=single'); ?>
For Secondary level nav (sub pages of a page):
<?php wp_menu('nav_type=secondary'); ?>
For Site Map nav:
<?php wp_menu('nav_type=sitemap'); ?>
By "wherever you want your menu to appear" do you mean the header.php ?
Or does this go in the CSS file.
I'm just trying to figure out the implementation.
Thanks for your help
Ok. I think I see where it goes. In the case of gear it goes in the head.php file, which is were the menu is printed.
Now the question is: how can i get this to look the way I want it to look?
How do I tell it where to look in the CSS for style info?
Find out how your previous menu was styled (IDs or Classes) and follow the options to customize how WP-Menu will output:
I'm more than happy to help you find this out if you send me your CSS file and your head.php file (as it was before you added wp_menu to it)
Ah! So I should tell it to use "Nav Id" and give that a value (like Nav)?
Just to be sure I'd like to send you you my css and head.php
I'll need your email address, though.
If you'd like you can email me at rubinstein(dot)james(at)gmail(dot)com
Thanks for the great plug-in!
I do have a quick question though; is it possible in "sitemap" mode to list Blog posts as well as pages? (assuming the WP installation's home page is actually a Page as set in the "Reading" options!)
Once again, thanks for your work on this plug-in and TIA for your help with this!
It *should* be possible, I will have to look into that, but thank you for the great feature request!
Hi Scott,
your plug-in is in use (blog is in preparation) and works like a charm.
But I can´t find a way to give a special class to special menu items.
I want to highlight parent links with a certain background-picture to make obvious, that they have children, when they are collapsed.
Any idea? Meanwhile I try to use Custom Fields, uaahh...
Thanks in advance!
Adrian, try using some css code to target just the first level of the menu, then target the second level like this:
#wp_menu_id li {yourcode here}
#wp_menu_id li ul li {yourcode here}
Thanks for your quick answer. But I think I didn´t present the problem correctly:
What you were showing me was the way to generally highlight the list-items via CSS. The "current"-class works perfect nad if the page has children they will show and the others are still collapsed.
But only A FEW of the items are parents and should show a different background-image (arrow, plus-sign,...) on the home page, when all are collapsed. Sorry for my poor English. And thanks for your friendly support.
I could not show the site yet, because the client is anxious...
This plugin is amazing. Exactly what I've been looking for. Where can I donate some cash for your efforts?
i can't see a way to add a separator inbetween menu items apart from using css although that would require a the last or first of the menu items to have a different rule. for example:
desired output
item1 : item2 : item3 : item4
each colon would have to belong to an item and one of them at the end would have to have its colon removed (ouch)
i've worked out a hack which would make it work by adding two menus beside each other, one containing all the items apart from one which would be in the other menu. they have separate classes for the appropriate styling.
thanks for making the plugin!! has been very useful!
@Adrian Verstuyft - I see what you mean, I'll add an option that gives each LI a unique ID in the next version.
@eggnog - Donations are accepted via PayPal at sc0ttkclark (at) gmail . com
@lupark - Perhaps what I'm doing for Adrian (see above), you could use this to also identify the beginning and ending menu items via CSS to set them apart from the rest of the items?
Hi Scott,
I'm trying to implement some of the options made available in the plugin, namely adding a link to my homepage.
I've tried variations on the show_home and home_path with no success. What's throwing me are the arguments. For instance, if I was to us show_home it would be like:
First off, is 1 like a boolean value of true or false? Then with the home_path, is that to be the name of my page used for the homepage, or should it be the complete url to my homepage? Is home_link required?
Apologies for the green questions. I think your plugin is great. Perhaps including a couple of examples in your readme will better explain these implementation issues.
@eggnog - show_home / home_path / home_link are only used if you have a page in your navigation specifically for Home. To add a new Home link, look at the custom link options recently added to WP-Menu.
They will let you add a new custom menu item to the front of the menu, using
Great news! Unique IDs for each LI! Can you please tell us, when you will be able to implement the new feature? The client makes the whole dev dependant on this...
I checked the plugin code, it looks like I've already got this in there using classes:
to output each item like this:

Yes! Got it working. Thanks a lot.
One suggestion: wouldn´t it be easier to provide a special class to chosen IDs in the argument string, like that:
wp_menu ('unique_class=name_of_class&unique_ids=1,5,7,8,12');
so we can use only one line of CSS:
ul#leftnav li.name_of_class {background:url(images/menu_item_is_parent.gif) 0 5px no-repeat;}
with following output (to still have the possibility to adress special IDs):

Instead of inflating the CSS like that:
ul#leftnav li.page_1,
ul#leftnav li.page_5,
ul#leftnav li.page_7,
ul#leftnav li.page_8,
ul#leftnav li.page_12
{background:url(images/menu_item_is_parent.gif) 0 5px no-repeat;}
I like what you've thought up here, very good idea! I'll look into adding this soon :-)
Can you explain how to use the c2p options? I've got a category called 'Frequently Asked Questions' that I'd like to have show up as a nav item.
I was trying to create a menu based on your plugin but using background images assigned with
unique_class through css (instead of text).
I modified your plugin and added
link_wrap parameter which allows me to wrap links into tags like this:
navigation link and then set
#nav li a span to display:none.
Some better way might be to actually display the images somehow (might be more SEO friendly ?) but this is just an idea.
Anyway this is really great plugin!
@philipz - I really like this idea, I'll add a optional wrapper for each item inside the link (span) to help with styling.
@jayred - We're getting ready to launch our new http://www.vizioninteractive.com/ site which will have much more in-depth documentation of this and our other plugins. ETA is about a week or less.
thanks so much for this killer plugin. I think this should be in the WP core. One thing I'd love in addition to what you have built already would be depth level classes, for example, for the "active" class. I've worked around this, but especially in the single_secondary setup it would be great to have a level added to the active class.
Thanks again. CORE. Go core with this.
And support for hidden pages would be great. I know I can exclude them manually, but using the hidden status would be fantastic!
I want to add my voice to the cheers for this plugin. It's the only one I've found so far that seems really robust enough for a good size CMS.
One snag I've found is distinguishing an active item from its ancestors. IOW, the active_class is assigned to an item, but also to its parent item. I want to style them differently but haven't figured out how since they both get the same class selector.
Is there an easy way to assign a different class to the parent of an active item?
Hi - firstly, fantastic plugin!! Its been a big help and worked where others have failed for me so far!
I'm using the wp_menu plugin to create the main horizontal nav with child page drop downs from parent page ids. Works great so far - unfortunately I don't current have a link to site as I'm running the dev on a local machine.
I have one question and one feature request.
First the question:
How can I incorporate category pages into my menu? I don't really understand the c2p_cid and c2p_pid aspect of the plugin. I can't get that to work for me. Could you please explain a little about what the c2p strings do and how to implement them. There are two category pages I'd like to include in my menu. Please see the diagram below where I'd like to add category page links.
Feature request:
I think it would be useful if the was a function within the plugin that redirects the parent page to the first child page in a menu list. I'm using parent pages as Categories with child pages within those parent page categories forming drop menus. i.e.
| Parent Cat A | . . . . . . | Parent Cat B | . . . . . . | Parent Cat C |
| child A1 | . . . . . . . . . | child B1 | . . . . . . . . . | child C1 |
| child A2 | . . . . . . . . . | child B2 | . . . . . . . . . | child C2 |
| child A3 | . . . . . . . . . | cat page? |. . . . . . . . | cat page? |
When a user clicks on 'Parent Cat A' it'd be useful if there was an option to take them to 'child A1', Parent B to child B1 etc . I've achieved this by using a redirect in a page template, but think many creating horizontal drop nav would find it useful.
Any help hugely appreciated
Wondering about the secondary navigation with this plugin...
I used this declaration in my sidebar.php file because I want to display a secondary navigation on every page:
I was expecting to see an unordered list of child pages with the parent page listed as an

 above all wrapped in a nice little
The problem is that the hrefs for the child links are all missing a backslash before the child page name.
I.E. http://www.website.com/parent-namechild-name
Obviously that isn't working. Any idea how I can get a backslash between [parent-name] and [child-name]?
The problem is that the hrefs for the child links are all missing a backslash before the child page name.
mark007 - I've just been going through exactly the same problem and think I've solved it. Your milage may vary but the culprit for me was a plugin used to remove the category base from the permalink or otherwise alter the permalink in someway. Unfortunately I can't remember specifically which plugin it was as I tried at least half a dozen. I'll recognise it if I see it again though and let you know.
The plug-in I was using allowed the user to modify the permalink and I'd missed off a trainlng /
Have you altered your permalinks or removed your category base in any way?

Posted on 02/18/2014 2:34:38 PM PST by sushiman
Bob Casale, a founding member of New Wave pioneers Devo, died at the age of 61 on Monday (Feb. 17). A statement from Casale's brother Gerald, also a member of the group, confirms that the cause of death was heart failure.
(Excerpt) Read more at billboard.com ...
Saw Devo once - Freedom Of Choice tour - man were they LOUD ...but great . R.I.P. , Bob .
"cause of death was heart failure."
I guess in the end they were just men.
I'm glad I talked the wife into seeing them at St. Augustine last year.
Thanks for all the music Bob.
Another report said " Bob Casale, one of the original members of Devo, passed away Monday from "conditions that lead to heart failure" . Drug rumors floating around already .
They brightened up my high school years.
Original drummer Alan Myers died 8 months ago .
Whip it..!
Glad the new drummer is from Tucson and talked the band into coming to town last year. Great show. And their most recent album is probably their best all around work. Something to be said for going out on a high note.
Yea ...BTW - I'm 61 .
something you wouldn't expect... RIP
Hard to believe. OK, well, maybe not. I will point out, though, that I'm 61 and just had a pacemaker put in my chest due to a condition that had nothing to do with the drugs I ingested in the 70's, which have had no affect brain on my that can I all at tell.
I see what you did there.
Wow - thanks for that . Never saw before .
I'm 61 , too .
Leave it up to "Weird Al" Yankovic to out-Devo Devo, with a musical pastiche with so many elements of Devo that a lot of people thought it was done by Devo.
"Dare to be Stupid."
In an interview, Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh stated in reaction to the song that: "I was in shock. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. He sort of re-sculpted that song into something else and, umm ... I hate him for it, basically."
It is officially too late to whip it... whip it good.
RIP, Devo was wonderfully weird.
Ye"a ...BTW - Im 61"
So is hubby, which I mention because he mentioned it to me.
Did we ever think we'd get this old, back in the not really so long ago days?
True story: I was in Dodge City, Kansas, about 35 years ago for a friend's wedding. At the time, they had no bars in the city (or maybe even in the state), but they had "clubs", where you paid $1.00 for a lifetime membership (to drink). So, while we were in there, cowboys - not city-slickers in $500 outfits, but real, honest-to-god cowboys who had been bringing in some cattle - stopped into the bar after, no doubt, they got paid. There was a dearth of women in the bar, so they danced with each other - to "Whip It". It was an absolutely surreal scene.
Before that, they were quirky and different. My personal favorite was "Jerking Back And Forth" from a 1981 album.
I was a huge New Wave fan back in the day. In addition to Devo, you had The Cars, Blondie, B-52s, Missing Persons, Joe Jackson, Echo & The Bunnymen and scores of other bands I could name.
Makes me feel old that they are starting to die off.
And every single night
before I go to bed
I get down on my knees and thank God
I'm a Secret Agent Man
When I think DEVO, I think of the movie Heavy Metal. Through Being Cool and Working in a Coal mine were the 2 songs I recall from the movie. Odd band but I liked them.
Say Hello to Mr. Kamikaze and Mr. DNA, Bob.
The only band that could get away with covering "Satisfaction."
Hehe...I can imagine ...Reminds me of the time my ( rock ) band was hired by an ad agency in Tokyo to dress up like cowboys and play C&W music in front of one of the most popular dept. stores in one of the busiest areas ( Shibuya ) of Tokyo ( and in other cities across Japan - good buckeroos ) \. Surreal - esp. in the early evening with all the neon glowing .
Hehe, how long ago was that? I'm sure we have some music acquaintances here. Music is my main thing living in Tokyo.
early 90's . It was for a Marlboro cig national campaign / promo . We did it 3 springs/summers in a row from May to August on weekends , traveling all over Japan . Got paid $ 1200 a day EACH ! So $ 2400 for the weekend + hotel , meals , transporation , etc...Name of my band was Hotel No-Tell . The band was formed in the early 80's and I joined in early 1986 . Played with them until 1995 when I moved down to Kyushu .
ping for home
Go figure.........
Devo came out while I was in freshman year at college.
Went to a party one night, smoked pot for the first time.
Saw Devo on Saturday Night Live, performing Jocko Homo:
Thought I'd lost my mind, but loved it.
Great band.
Live in Japan ...1979 ...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78jC975pqf4
And then let it
Rest In Peace
Very cool. I suppose you know some of the folks from the old rockabilly and punk scene? Maybe even a block named Jack Waldron who worked the avante garde, pop and punk music scene out here for years. You probably know Rockin' Jelly Bean's art work and his band called Jackie and The Cedrics too.
Now (on "Yo Gabba Gabba"):
Aware of Rugrats as my daughter ( now 26 ) loved the show when we lived in Keene , NH and Long Island for 6 months in 1995 . Unaware of Yo Gabba Gabba . Sounds like the title of a Ramones tune . ;-)
A goodie that made it to the "Heavy Metal" soundtrack.
In my opinion, one of the best and meaningful of Devo's lyrics...
A victim of collision on the open sea
Nobody ever said that life was free
Sink, swim, go down with the ship
But use your freedom of choice
I'll say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Your freedom of choice
In ancient rome there was a poem
About a dog who found two bones
He picked at one
He licked the other
He went in circles
He dropped dead
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice!
Then if you got it you don't want it
Seems to be the rule of thumb
Don't be tricked by what you see
You got two ways to go
I'll say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Freedom of choice
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice!
Cool. I'll look for that CD next time I'm in Shimokitazawa. The only club you mentioned that I know is Crocodile, but there are dozens of others I hit each year too. Do you happen to remember the band called Bo Gumbos? Very famous in 80s and 90s rock n roll scene.
