Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Raymond "Boots" Riley was just fifteen when he decided to be a career revolutionary. It was perhaps a surprising decision for someone whose activism began so casually. One day a youth organizer visited his home; Boots assumed the guy was a salesman, but then remembered meeting him at school, recruiting demonstrators to support striking cannery workers. Now the man was waiting outside his house with a van filled with girls. First they were headed to the cannery in Watsonville, but then they were going to the beach. Boots tagged along because of the girls.
While other kids his age were riding bikes or getting into trouble, Boots was soon spending summers organizing Mexican immigrants in rural California towns like Wasco, Delano, and McFarland. He joined the Progressive Labor Party and the International Committee Against Racism, flew around the country for meetings and rallies, and learned to be a taskmaster and a public speaker. "It gave me a sense of importance," he recalls, "understanding that what I did made a difference."
But by age nineteen, Boots' activism alone was not enough. Having first written and performed hip-hop in drama class at Oakland High School, he started frequenting local rap shows at Berkeley's Keisha's Inn, loading equipment in exchange for the chance to perform a song or two. Although Boots savored the crowd's appreciation for party-oriented music, his often-political lyrics were very different from the dance tunes then popular. "Later on when I decided to do it seriously," he recalls, "I knew it was gonna be hard getting shows."
He and some activist friends formed the Mau Mau Rhythm Collective, which presented consciousness-raising "edutainment" concerts at local venues. Among the wide-ranging mix of performers was an early version of the Coup, which then featured Boots, DJ O, and rappers Osageyfo and Yapos. The others eventually left to pursue other projects, and Boots recruited MC E-Roc, a UPS co-worker, and DJ Pam the Funkstress to round out the group.
Fifteen years later, the Coup has a distinguished and sometimes brilliant track record. The group has never put up platinum or gold sales figures, yet it has amassed an impressive body of work. It has struggled through more than its share of bad breaks, but proven defiantly resilient.
The Coup released its first EP in 1991 and its first full-length album, Kill My Landlord, in 1993. It followed that up with 1994's Genocide and Juice a play on Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice" that established the group as progressive hip-hop leaders. But its record label, Wild Pitch, folded soon thereafter, leaving the group in the lurch. Boots "retired" from rapping for a while, working as a telemarketer and holding other assorted jobs. He returned to active duty in 1998, signing with the East Bay indie label Dogday and putting out another critically acclaimed gem, Steal This Album a twist on Abbie Hoffman's Yippie manifesto Steal This Book. Boots had high hopes for the album, but its exposure was limited after a video for "Me and Jesus the Pimp in a '79 Grenada Last Night" was rejected by BET on the grounds that it was too violent. Following numerous accounting disputes with Dogday, which later folded, the group parted ways with the label in 2000.
By the time the Coup released Party Music in late 2001, the group consisted of Boots, Pam the Funkstress, and Oakland MC T-Kash. The album received reams of press, and was declared the year's best album by the San Francisco Chronicle, made three of four top ten lists in The New York Times, and ranked number eight on the Village Voice's annual poll of music critics.
Party Music was an artistic and critical triumph, but its sales were disappointing, particularly at first. Problems at new label 75 Ark resulted in the album being hard to find when the group was on tour. "The label was very visibly not what it used to be, in terms of staffing and how they were getting records out," says Ken Erlich, the Coup's manager. The album ultimately sold about 50,000 copies, he says, but with all the press it received, it could have sold much more.
Music critics almost unanimously praised Party Music's mix of funky music and socially conscious lyrics. But their articles almost always focused on its original, never-released cover. The eerily prescient graphic, which appeared on the Internet in June 2001 but was not scheduled to be printed until the fall, depicted Boots and Pam the Funkstress blowing up the twin towers of the World Trade Center with a device that looked like a detonator, but was actually a guitar tuner. It was intended as agitprop, but in the wake of 9/11 it became something else altogether.
Online opposition campaigns were launched by conservative Web sites such as CapitalismMagazine.com and Townhall.com. Right-wing nutcase and Internet preacher Texe Marrs made far-fetched connections between Boots' Communist leanings, Congresswoman Barbara Lee's antiwar stance, and Arab terrorism. Fox News talk-show host Sean Hannity belittled Boots during a call-in segment (the rapper claims he was unable to respond because the show's producer cut his mic). The group received an outpouring of hateful e-mails and even death threats.
For a while, Boots was "the most infamous man in pop music," in the words of The Washington Post. "One day, he was Boots bin Laden in the eyes of the media," T-Kash recalls. "A year later, he was Boots Michael Moore Riley." To this day, Boots says he's still asked about the album artwork in every interview he does.
But while becoming infamous for a CD cover that never actually existed, Boots should be revered for entirely different reasons. Whether viewed as a turf rapper with a social conscience or a conscious rapper with turf awareness, he is a character unlike any other in pop music.
He is best known as a post-Black Panther, post-Public Enemy street documentarian who spins colorful yarns laden with socioeconomic and political messages. "In terms of political music, he's one of the greatest ever," enthuses Andy Kaulkin, who signed the Coup to Epitaph in 2005. Kaulkin believes Riley's message and appeal ultimately transcend hip-hop. Noting that Boots toured with Billy Bragg and Steve Earle last year, he thinks the group can resonate not only with punky anarchists and conscious hip-hoppers, but with older, mature listeners hungry for substance in their music. "What he does is really, really catchy, really accessible," he says. "The message sort of sneaks in."
Boots often conveys his message with humor or irony, something that separates him from preachier, more didactic political rappers. "Humor teaches a lot," he says. "Contradictions are humorous. The system is nothing but contradicting." Consider the notion of "Ass-Breath Killers" lozenges that remove the distasteful odor that comes from kissing the rear end of the Man or the image of a Lewinskyesque liaison between Saddam Hussein and one or both Presidents Bush, as suggested on "Head (of State)."
In addition to his knack for making subversion sound humorous, Boots also is an underrated producer. His skills have been overshadowed by his outspoken political activism, yet every one of his efforts has been more musically sophisticated than the last. The progression toward an original, funk-based sound unlike that of other rap acts became evident with Party Music, and has continued with the new album, which uses more live instrumentation than ever before. In addition to basslines, guitars, strings, claps, and congas, Pick a Bigger Weapon experiments with instruments not typically associated with rap, including a B-3 organ, mini-Moog, and Rhodes electric piano. With all the live musicianship, there's noticeably less turntable scratching, although Pam the Funkstress remains an integral part of the group.
Finally, amid the hypermasculine sexism of so much mainstream rap, Boots exudes the confidence to give women equal footing. While misogyny has become commonplace to the point of acceptance in rap music, Boots not only writes odes to female empowerment such as "Wear Clean Draws" or "Tiffany Hall," but shares the spotlight on his album covers with Pam, herself a rarity in a male-dominated arena. Through it all, he is forthrightly militant, yet not so gung-ho that he's afraid to show some tenderness. This dichotomy is brought to life by the group's logo, a silhouette of an African woman toting a machine gun on her back and suckling a child at her breast.
But then, as Boots himself puts it in the opening lines of the new album, he's a walkin' contradiction, like bullets and love mixin'.
Bullets are nowhere to be seen or heard at the Riley household, but love is in plain view. There's a new addition to the family: On March 4 Boots' girlfriend, Dawn-Elissa Fischer, gave birth to a healthy eleven-pound boy. Dawn looks radiant, flush with a rosy-cheeked glow. As for the baby, he's a handsome little squinty-eyed dude who seems much lighter than his birth weight. Dressed in a yellow-and-white striped jumper and already sporting a thick tuft of black hair, he seems fairly uninterested in what's going on around him, although Dawn says being around his dad makes him happy. Boots burps the baby and makes googoo faces at his son.
Boots is nothing if not consistent; even the newborn's name Zola Dessalines Amilcar Fischer-Riley blends love and politics. Dawn says Zola is a Xhosa word meaning "tranquillity." The second name pays homage to Jean-Jacques Dessalines, a comrade of Toussaint-Louverture in the Haitian revolution. The third name comes from Amilcar Cabral, a writer and activist from Guinea-Bissau. Boots tends to leave out the third name, which Dawn added, because he believes it spoils the rhythm of Zola's name. Yet he knows that for a relationship to work, there has to be some compromise.
Dawn's effect on Boots is obvious in many ways; he is more reserved and gentle in her presence. She's also the inspiration for the romantic material on the new album. "This is the baby that came after mommy told daddy, 'Let's have a baby before Bush do something crazy,' after laying around all day in bed the night after we laughed and drank liquor at the Lucky Lounge," she announces excitedly. And indeed, the new album features a slow, soulful turn by the female vocalist Silk E, "BabyLet'sHaveaBaby
Boots and Dawn aren't married, yet they share a deep love; they've been together for about two and a half years. "Her vision of her mission in life is very much parallel to mine, which is more than just sharing the same worldview," Boots says. In the era of the hip-hop generation, he believes the term "family" should be redefined "in terms of love and commitment, not in terms of who's married to who, what their legal status is, or the members of their household." He says the old notion of a nuclear family "wasn't even real in the '50s."
Nor was it real in the Riley household. Ray's own parents split up when he was eight, and he lived for a while in Stockton and Pasadena before his family settled in East Oakland. At first, he saw his mom regularly, but less frequently after she took a job as a lab technician in Saudi Arabia. She wrote regularly, and the children (Ray has three sisters and one brother) knew she loved them, yet it was still tough at times.
"It's bittersweet, in the sense that kids are always gonna miss their mother," he says. But Boots understands that his mom had her first child at age fifteen, and may have felt she needed to grow as a person. "This is a woman that's put her life aside, or put her hopes and dreams aside," he says. "Now she has a chance to see the world. It allowed me to see that many women don't get a chance to realize their dreams. It's always taken for granted that the man is gonna make his dreams happen, while the woman is stuck with the baby." His mom, Anitra Patterson, has since moved back to Oakland, and the two are close today, albeit in an adult-friendship sort of way.
But for the most part, Boots was raised in a single-parent home, not unlike a great many members of the hip-hop generation. What was atypical about the Riley household was that the single parent was a man. Boots' progressive notions about family, community, and social activism have been largely influenced by his father, Walter Riley, an attorney whose clients included former Black Panther chief of staff David Hilliard.
Walter recalls that being a single parent was at times "very difficult," but that he juggled his law practice and organizing efforts around his family. He said he became a public defender so "I could be home to make breakfast at a reasonable hour."
The young Ray Riley grew up in an environment in which labor issues and liberation struggles were linked. One of his earliest memories, dating back to when he lived in Detroit, is of seeing his dad return from a demonstration with his ribs bandaged. When the five-year-old asked what happened, the senior Riley casually explained, "We beat the Klan up and sent them out of town." In the process, his dad got bashed with a two-by-four by one of the Klansmen.
Walter, having grown up in a rural area in a segregated society in Durham, North Carolina, believed in the need for systemic change, particularly where economics were concerned. "I raised my children with that consciousness," he said. Boots' dad wasn't always a lawyer, but he was always an activist. He held various other occupations, including bus driver, political organizer, and field secretary for the Congress of Racial Equality in the '60s. Eventually he got his law degree and became a public defender before eventually moving into private practice.
"Raymond, as I must call him, is Boots because I carried him around with me to meetings, changing his diapers," his father says. Walter recalls a photo of baby Raymond at nine months, holding up a copy of Franz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth. He notes that his son digested the book at an early age; it was perhaps no surprise that Ray became "very much concerned about issues of race. ... He became a person that wanted to know what was going on around him."
Boots, who acquired his nickname in high school following an unfashionable footwear choice and later adopted it as his stage name, eventually had a catharsis. "All of those questions culminated to, later on in my life, figuring out that it didn't have to be this way," he said. To this day, the Coup's frequent references to "revolution" betray a Lennonesque (John, but also Vladimir) faith that things can improve. As he says in the new song "We Are the Ones," an anthemic proletarian ditty that posits some of the sociological and economic causes of the drug trade, We're the have-nots/but we're also the gon'-gets.
Like any parent, Walter Riley wanted his son to have a better life than the one he experienced in the Jim Crow-era Deep South. Yet while he urged Boots to go to college and possibly even "sell out and get a job," he supported and encouraged his son's rap dreams, putting up money for concerts and an indie label, Polemic Records, which released the Coup's first EP and is still run by Boots' brother Manuel. Many members of the civil rights generation haven't always seen eye-to-eye with the hip-hop generation, yet in the Rileys' case, little or no gap exists between father and son.
"There is a message in Raymond's music and his life that I totally identify with," Walter says. He notes, however, that sometimes he has been concerned about the repercussions of Boots' activism, particularly his antipolice stance. "I don't think cops are the primary focus for our anger," he said. "They serve the system."
But the system itself is one thing father and son agree about.
Just hours before Dawn gave birth to Zola, Boots outlined his view of the system during a panel discussion at Stanford University's Hip-Hop Archives.
"The image of black people is always being criminalized," he said. "The culture that surrounds us is being criminalized. And so there has to be a reason for more police in the streets, there has to be a reason why we're always broke, there has to be a reason why we're under the impression that we're under. It's never that's it's a system that's against us, it's always that it's the culture that we create that points to our inherent inability to cope. That's what all of this discussion is really about. The discussion is about 'all of the culture that black folks make is somehow not as smart as it could be and not as progressive as certain forms of art.'"
Boots savors those times when his own neighborhood comes together and its sense of shared culture is apparent. "When it's sunny, we have block parties," he says in a later interview. "One dude has one CD of MP3s and one big speaker. That's his setup. It's a big crowd, pulsing and moving, not standing on the wall."
Such notions of community mean a lot to Boots. "My attachment to Oakland is not just in the land and the turf and the trees," he says. "It's in the people." In Boots' worldview, personal, family, community, and cultural identity are intrinsically linked; where you live is a big part of how you live. "There are plenty of people right here on this block who work at jobs they don't want to, just to support their family," he says. "A lot of these guys you see selling dope are doing it to support their family.
"We criminalize the act of young black folks standing on the corner," Boots says. "What do you think we were doing back in the day? I say that because some of these folks are older black folks who got caught up in the dialogue of 'What happened to our youth?'"
Overall, violent crime in West Oakland is down from a few years ago. Still, homicides are up this year, and there are occasions when residents don't feel safe. "A friend of mine just got killed three houses down; Tarus Jackson," Boots says. It was reported in some accounts that Jackson was a member of the group, but in fact he sold merchandise at some of its performances.
The murder's immediate aftermath cast a pall on the block. "People around here were shocked," Boots says. "For a little while after that, people weren't out on the street as much. It affected the sense of community." Yet with the weather getting warmer, the neighborhood's spirit appears to be on the rise.
The section of West Oakland that Boots calls home is a society in transition, from a predominantly African-American community to one that's much more integrated. Arab-immigrant-owned liquor stores stand opposite brand-new condominium complexes housing young, mostly white professionals. Proud Victorians with front and back lawns some well tended, some overgrown sit next to stucco apartments with chain-link fences. A storefront sign advertises "Beer Wine Lotto Liquor Groceries Deli." Kids walking home from school pass by alcoholics passed out on bus stop benches, their brown-paper-bag-wrapped tall cans in plain sight. Young mothers stroll by with babies on their shoulders. Pickup trucks with professional-grade aluminum ladders are parked on the streets next to shiny new SUVs and broken-down buckets. Laughter and music emanates from Esther's Orbit Room, an old-school watering hole already entertaining clientele at 3 p.m. There's a fair amount of urban blight, but also much evidence of greenery flowers, shrubs, trees. It is, in short, a neighborhood with a discernible sense of community, but one currently undergoing a transformation.
Boots' place is one of the nicer houses. A multistory Victorian owned by D'Wayne Wiggins of Tony Toni Tone fame, who plays guitar on one track of the new album, it boasts sizable lawnage, plenty of windows, and room for several children.
Boots says his block consists of black families who have lived there for decades and know all their neighbors, white bohemian types who reside in live-work lofts and tend to keep to themselves, and middle-class black artists who he says are always saying, "We gotta create a culture." This latter mentality, he believes, tends to reinforce the generation gap and a general mistrust of youth. To him it's just another form of elitism that ignores the indigenous urban culture in their midst.
To Boots, hyphy hip-hop, neighborhood block parties, and other examples of what he calls "sideshow culture" are all more positive than they've been portrayed by the media. "There is a media attack on youth culture," he claims. "Youth culture is demonized." At some level, he believes, there is "an underlying message of unity" behind all of these phenomena. What the young participants are really saying, he believes, is "we're gonna make our own enclave of culture."
Toward that end, he has faith in the power of street-level movements to help change the system. "On the album, I say, hustling and hyphy are eloping," he says. "If you combine the two, it gives you force to make change."
The need for change, he believes, stems from society's basic apathy about the social conditions that created hip-hop culture, compounded by attempts to co-opt and exploit that culture. "How do you get white kids to listen to hip-hop, but not relate to black people at all?" he wondered at the Stanford panel. "Because if you relate to the problems that black people have, you might start thinking about the system itself. The way to do it is to characterize this music as being less than up to par.
"Ten years from now, it's gonna be some white kids making music that sounds like Lil' Jon, and black folks will have moved on," he said. "But that music is gonna be what's called 'the intelligent music.'"
A frequent criticism of politically aware rhymers such as Boots is that their music often isn't as engaging as that of their less socially conscious counterparts. But although the self-described perfectionist says he only recently began thinking of himself as an "artist," in truth, Boots has been more than just another rapper for some time. He has produced every Coup album to date, and the way his music feels to him is just as important as how it sounds. "When I decided, 'Okay, I gotta write an album out of this,' it kinda came down to listening to these pieces of music that make me feel a certain way when I hear 'em," he says, "without any lyrics or concepts, figuring out, how do I stay true to that feeling?"
Pick a Bigger Weapon took longer to finish than any other album by the Coup. Part of the reason was that Boots was touring regularly, teaching for a while at the Malcolm X School for Social Justice in Oakland, and getting involved with various activist issues and antiwar demonstrations. He also has spoken and lectured all over the country; in fact, he met Dawn at a panel discussion at Harvard, where she worked before the Hip Hop Archive project relocated to Stanford. Legal wrangling with 75 Ark also contributed to some of the lag time between albums, as well as the deliberate search for a new record label. But Boots spent much of the five-year layoff between Party Music and Bigger Weapon in "The Little Red Room," a cozy home studio filled with amps, speakers, cables, effects boxes, and instruments, and dominated by a huge mixing board.
"I just kinda really got obsessed with just making beat after beat," he said. "My albums are usually the first twelve beats that I like, and I just start writing to them. This album, I made one hundred beats that I like."
What he ended up with was quite funky, somewhat experimental, and often resolutely anthemic. The album feels more like Boots' baby than past efforts. The second MC slot once held by E-Roc and T-Kash has remained vacant, and apart from cameos by rappers Black Thought and Talib Kweli, Boots handles the majority of the microphone work himself. The album also represents a new level of maturity for the 35-year-old rapper and perhaps for rap itself; ten years ago, there weren't many rappers still active into their thirties.
But most notably, Pick a Bigger Weapon is the most musical album the Coup has ever made. It sounds fuller and richer than most contemporary rap albums. "It feels definitely like a progression," he says. "I think there's more stuff going on, on some songs. On Party Music, I'd definitely say I started getting more into the faster beats. I started getting into the fonk."
He also started getting into the luuuuuuuv. After being uncompromisingly revolutionary on the first three Coup albums, on Party Music Boots began to allow the mellower side of his personality to emerge. The song "Nowalaters" was an ode to a teenage former lover that was, by turns, tender, funny, and nostalgic. The poignant "Wear Clean Draws" was a father's advice to his young daughter in which he advised her to Wear clean draws/Everyday/'cuz things may fall/The wrong way/You'll be lying there/Waiting for the ambulance/And your underwear/Got holes and shit.
Pam the Funkstress believes that becoming a father was partly behind the change in Boots' outlook and lyrical content. "It's kind of mellowed him out a little bit," she says. "Before he had kids, he was telling people, 'Our kids are our future,' and now he gets to practice what he preaches. Like when he wrote that song to his daughter, 'Wear Clean Draws,' and he told her, 'Hey, you don't back down. You fight.'"
Boots agrees that fatherhood has changed him in many positive ways: "I've been a father for eight years; it made me more sentimental." Parenthood, he adds, "gives you an account of how your actions cause ripples in the world." And being raised by his father, he says, "made me view parenthood differently, and the role that a father is supposed to have."
Pam also has a unique perspective on what hasn't changed about her partner during a decade and a half together in The Coup. "He respects women," she says. "I can't see myself DJing behind Too $hort. I couldn't even compare Boots to anyone else. His lyrics are not degrading. He's been that since day one."
Consequently, Pam finds it a bit frustrating that the Coup's fan base tends to be concentrated among "antiwar" people "who want to overthrow the system" and not a broader cross-section of hip-hop fans. She doesn't classify herself as politically outspoken, although she does stand behind what Boots says, and thinks it's a good thing that political consciousness "is getting more play" in the waning years of the Bush presidency. Still, with energetic new songs like "Get That Monkey Off Your Back," she hopes the new album might attract the group a few more "people from the streets."
Pick a Bigger Weapon seems likely to at least be a critical favorite; XLR8R magazine, a pop culture tastemaker, has already called it the group's best work to date. The album is divided between militant songs such as "My Favorite Mutiny," in which Boots growls Death to the pigs is my basic statement, and pro-love material such as "Ijuswannalayaroundalldayinbedwithyou," which finds Boots purring the sheet's sweatin' and the ceilin' is pulsatin'. "Captain Sterling's Little Problem" describes how an enlisted man's pro-war ideas change after he kills a man who looked like my homie from the 'hood, while judgmental male attitudes about female beauty contribute to a fatal liposuction in the heartbreaking "Tiffany Hall" a song based on a true story about a SF State student Boots knew. Both sides of this dichotomy coexist in "Laugh/Love/Fuck," which marries a let's-get-this-party-started chorus with exhortations about an altogether different urge. Still it's fair to wonder how exactly laughing, loving, fucking, and drinking liquor will actually make the damn revolution come quicker. It sounds suspiciously like the type of line a horny student activist might use.
Releasing the album on Epitaph could further solidify the Coup's appeal to fans of political music. Kaulkin notes that his label has always had groups with a strong social consciousness, starting with the punk band Bad Religion. And while the Coup isn't the first hip-hop group on the punk-identified label Kaulkin previously inked deals with Blackalicious and alt.rap icon Sage Francis Boots has already crossed over to the anarchist punk audience, which may not listen to any other rap music. "In the punk world," he says, "the Coup has a special place."
But by picking the bigger weapon of a well-regarded, seemingly stable record label Epitaph is considered a "major indie" in music industry parlance Boots may have increased the chances that other audiences will become more familiar with the Coup's work. Kaulkin promises that fans will be able to find the record in stores, noting wryly, "That's never been a problem for us." He admits he'd be thrilled if Bigger Weapon sold 100,000 copies, but says, "We don't need it to sell that much to be happy with it." He's not counting on MTV exposure or commercial radio play to drive album sales, although a lot of press would be nice. "The Coup is a group that requires grassroots marketing."
Former Coup member T-Kash, who currently records as a solo artist for the Guerrilla Funk label run by the rapper Paris, came to appreciate Boots' special relationship with his audience during his years with the group. "I look at Boots as the ground assault technician, as far as his standing with his fan base," T-Kash says. "That's a rapport that's timeless." He adds that Boots not only taught him a thing or two about stage presence and writing lyrics, but helped shape his own ideological beliefs as well.
But the biggest impact Boots made on his protégé may have been in dispensing parental advice. "Boots was the only other male figure I could talk to as a parent," he says. "He would call me and recommend books. ... He helped me more than my prenatal class."
T-Kash fondly remembers Boots telling him, "When your baby is born, remember to always hold the child with your shirt off, have their skin up against yours. There's all these nerves in a child's skin that reacts to the touch of other skin, and it sensitizes their brain to be curious about the touch of another person. It gives them more initiative to bond with another person. Especially if you're the father. Always remember to do that."
On a recent afternoon, while picking up his older son from school, Boots is back in daddy mode. He disappears inside the building, then reappears five minutes later with five-year-old Nikos, whose mother, Boots' ex-wife Katja Hubbard, is a teacher in Oakland.
Nikos is pretty quiet, but also a little hungry. So the family dashes to Boots' favorite dining spot, the In-N-Out Burger on Hegenberger Road, where he orders cheeseburgers and fries for the children, hold the pickles, and a Double-Double and a soda for himself. He's not so politically obsessed that he's above eating at a fast-food spot if he's hungry, or drinking a Coke if he's thirsty.
Back at home in West Oakland, Nikos picks at his burger and fries. Bored, he comes into the room to see what his daddy is doing. Boots picks up his son and swings him around. The boy giggles as his legs are suspended in the air. A few minutes later, the rapper's eight-year-old daughter, Alina, whose original art adorns the living room walls, arrives home from school. She eats too. Then Boots gently reminds her she has homework to do.
Fifteen Years of Rebellion: A Coup-ography
By Eric Arnold
Kill My Landlord
Wild Pitch, 1993
For some strange reason, when the early-'90s hip-hop Golden Age is discussed, this album is often inexplicably overlooked. Some of the sample-and-loop-based songs sound rudimentary compared to the intricate, concept-driven thrust of the group's later work, and Boots has definitely grown in lyrical potency, but all the classic Coup elements are here: revolutionary attitude, socialist politics, hip-hop polemics, ironic humor, and street-level pragmatism. Key Tracks: "I Ain't the Nigga," "Not Yet Free."
Genocide and Juice
Wild Pitch, 1994
Boots & Co.'s sophomore effort shows considerable artistic growth. The discernable sense of song cycle several tunes are linked thematically makes it an anomaly in an increasingly single-oriented rap industry, and Boots' musings on everyday socioeconomics still hold relevance today. While most "conscious" MCs of this era were disassociating themselves from their gangsta rap brethren, Boots dueted with E-40 on "Santa Rita Weekend," an underappreciated gem that preceded the onset of controversial juvenile crime initiative Prop. 21 by several years. Key Tracks: "Fat Cats, Bigga Fish," "Pimps," "Taking These," "Santa Rita Weekend."
Steal This Album
DogDay, 1998
Almost as good as Genocide and Juice, this album came at a time when conscious rappers were few and far in-between. It goes against the grain, if you look at what else was happening in rap that year Jay-Z and P. Diddy putting New York on bling status; Master P's ultragutter, superghetto, Dirty Southern No Limit dynasty yet in retrospect, it's entirely consistent with the revolutionary ideals the Coup has always espoused. In some ways, this album represents the end of an era: It was the last to feature original member E-Roc, who left the group to become a longshoreman. Key Tracks: "Me and Jesus the Pimp in a '79 Grenada Last Night," "Breathing Apparatus," "The Shipment."
Party Music
75 Ark, 2001
Although never released with the original cover which was designed before 9/11, depicted Boots and Pam blowing up the World Trade Center with a guitar tuner, and thus was scrapped in the wake of the attacks Party Music still packed quite a powerful impact. Somewhat overlooked in all the controversy surrounding the album critically acclaimed, yet plagued by poor distribution was the group's musical evolution. Noticeably funkier and more uptempo than previous efforts, Party Music's subject matter veered from anticapitalist odes to activist anthems to dietary concerns to advice for Boots' baby daughter. Key Tracks: "Ghetto Manifesto," "Wear Clean Draws," "Ride the Fence," "Pork and Beef."
Pick a Bigger Weapon
Epitaph, 2006
The Coup's fifth album picks up where Party Music left off, upping the funk quotient even higher, expanding the sonic parameters with more live musicianship (including rock guitar and Bernie Worrell-esque keyboards), and putting additional emphasis on personal relationships within a grassroots revolutionary context, of course. The album also explains what "Ass-Breath Killers" are, and why you need them. Guests Black Thought, Talib Kweli, and Tom Morello add universal appeal to Boots' Oaktown fonk, and the driving, upbeat feel makes the disc sound almost like a dialectical materialist version of crunk at times. Key Tracks: "We Are the Ones," "My Favorite Mutiny," "Ijuswannalay
aroundalldayinbedwith you," "Laugh/Love/Fuck," "Tiffany Hall."

text: NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: NPSP), a biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapeutics for rare gastrointestinal and endocrine disorders, announced today that its Phase 3 study of Gattex (teduglutide), a novel analog of glucagon-like peptide 2, has been published online in the peer-reviewed journal, Gastroenterology, the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association. The 24-week study, known as STEPS, shows that Gattex is effective and well-tolerated in reducing parenteral support volume and number of infusion days in short bowel syndrome-intestinal failure (SBS-IF) patients. "This crucial study demonstrates the potential of Gattex to be an important treatment option for patients with short bowel syndrome," said Palle B. Jeppesen, M.D., lead author of the study and Associate Professor, Department of Medical Gastroenterology, University Hospital of Copenhagen. "Short bowel patients with intestinal failure rely on parenteral support to meet their nutritional, fluid and electrolyte needs because their intestines aren't able to absorb enough nutrients, fluids and electrolytes. Being able to reduce or even eliminate dependence on parenteral support should provide important clinical benefits for patients with this debilitating condition." Methodology and Results Researchers performed a 24-week study of patients with SBS-IF who were given either daily subcutaneous dosing of 0.05 mg/kg teduglutide (n=43) or placebo (n=43). Parenteral support (PS) was reduced if 48-hour urine volumes exceeded baseline values by 10 percent. The primary efficacy endpoint was defined as the number of patients who achieved a 20 to 100 percent reduction in weekly PS volume, from baseline, at Weeks 20 and 24. There were significantly more responders in the teduglutide group (27 of 43) than the placebo group (13 of 43, p=.002). At Week 24, patients who received teduglutide experienced an average 4.4 liter reduction in weekly PS volume from a baseline of 12.9 liters. Patients who received placebo experienced an average 2.3 liter reduction from a baseline of 13.2 liters (p<.001).

Mortal Kombat -vs- DC Universe
Just a few hours ago, the existence of this project was revealed by Midway, aparently, the new game of Mortal Kombat will be a cross over with the Superheros of DC comics universe
Although at the moment, Ed Boon the creator, hasn't still confirmed if this is the so anticipated Mortal Kombat 8 or it's just an altern game, the bad news for Boon and company, is that the fans of Mortal Kombat (incluiding, me as well) aren't very happy with this "surprise"
By the moment there is no info of the gameplay of the game, the plot or even the characters, the only thing confirmed is that the game will be launched at the ends of this year and that it will be for XBOX 360 and Play Station 3, for Wii is still not confirmed
As soon I get new Info, I will post it here, by the moment the only I have is the render in the top and this trailer
How do you do something like that? How? I dont see how these guys come up with ideas like this and keep their job. MK vs DC? It boggles the mind, it does.
I'll pick this game up tho if I can kill Superman in it. That would make this the best fighting game ever. :heh: Seriously tho, hate that guy.
Anyways, it scares me to see the direction things are going in the industry w/ stuff like this happening. And I thought the last MK game was the "last" one, tho I knew that it really couldnt be.
Some of the fighting mechanics look kinda interesting, like fighting while freefalling (that better be in there. i need moar ridiculous fighting game mechanics) and the idea of getting to beat to death my least favorite brand of superheros (barring Batman on account of awesomeness) makes this game almost tempting to pick up, just to kill Superman. I cant emphasize that point enough. :heh:
There is a strong rumor that says that because DC don't want to see their superheros die, the most probably is that the Fatalyties will be removed for this game so the most probably is that this Mortal Kombat will be rated as "T"
New Info
trmk.org made an interview with Ed Boon, creator of Mortal Kombat, althoug I don't have the full discusion, I got the most important things that Boon reveal of this new MK
I still don't know if there will be included the Fatalyities or not
noob.com the weeb site of Ed Boon had been reopened showing the srange image below and a text that says "Time's up" Although there is nothing in it about MK-vs-DC, now I wonder. Is that Scorpion?
I guess that MK sales must be slipping, but a drastic move like this might destroy appeal altogether.
I dont see what the big deal is. They kill off Superheroes all the time. Oh well.
Interesting stuff in that interview. To think this came of the dream match SF v MK. Seems like they're cutting it down to just the bare minimum. That'll suck.
Honestly, this might sell just for the chance to have Batman rip Superman's head off O_o...
But on the other hand...
Superman wins. Fatality.
Is it me or can you simply not picture that happening?
I'm just wondering how Mortal Kombat can be Mortal Kombat without the FATALITIES. Come on, let us rip Superman's head off, PLEASE?
It's an odd combination, but certainly not the weirdest crossover ever. I stopped caring about Mortal Kombat (and fighting games in general) years ago, but this doesn't strike me as any more strange than the recent trend of adding characters like Darth Vader and Link to Soul Caliber or Snake and Sonic into SSBB.
And hey, if they can make Predator vs Batman....this shouldn't be that much more difficult to explain. :heh:
I lack the consoles and the interest in the MK series to actually play this, but I hope they do keep in those fatalities. It's not MK without them, and DC has knocked off some of its own superheroes before in rather gruesome ways before anyway. Oh well. It'll be interesting to see where this goes.
This whole concept seems very very awkward to me. I just don't think this is going to work out. It'd be sweet if the themes matched, but instead they conflict with each other. One side favors blood and fatalities, the other has a protagonist alliance dubbed "super friends". One or both sides of the fanbase are gonna get turned off if they can't come up with a way to blend these themes together. But based on what I've heard, it seems like it's already too late. I'm pretty sure MK fans aren't gonna pick this up. Especially if they hate DC and would've liked the chance to kill the heroes of that universe.
In the interview maded to Boon, he said that many fans will gonna be a bit angry at the begining but when they check the gameplay and plot, they will gona turn satisfied, I don't know you but first impresions are really important
Mortal Kombat without fatalities = shit.
Superman in Mortal Kombat?! When realistically he can take on every MK character at once and win? WTF?
Heads should be rolling, both in and out of the game.
I ask my self, this may confirm the sorceres Shang Tsung & Quan Chi as characters for this game?
I must say, this must be the weirdest crossover for a fighting game that I have ever seen in my life. Mortal Kombat vs. DC super heroes??
The trailer didn't look that bad and free falling fighting looks interesting, but the whole concept of these two worlds colliding is really hard to see as a "successful" video game hit with anyone.
I know that lately, there have been "special guests" to cross other video game hits with other characters. One big example was Super Smash Bros. Brawl with Sonic and Snake. Sonic was alright, but it was some people who thought that bringing in Snake would be tough to do, since all of his games were pretty mature in terms of story telling and game play.
Now we have Soul Calibur 4 with Darth Vader and Yoda as special guests to enter the cross over treatment...that seems a bit weird to me, since light sabers do count as weapons, but a bit too futuristic for the Soul Calibur fighters?:heh:
I don't know how this will turn out, but whatever the reactions are later this year, when the game is released...it might determine how cross over games might turn out in the next year...and it might become a growing fad.
Unless everyone is armed with kryptonite weapons, I stand by my statement.
I agree Superman vastly overpowers most of the characters, but it is common in fighting games for certain characters to be vastly more powerful storywise.
In the Darkstalkers series, one of the characters can eat planets and create miniature suns. Yet in the game you can beat him with a sasquatch.
Actually, even in MK itself, Raiden is an Elder God and much more powerful than most others. Raiden would probably beat Superman storywise.
Mmmmmeh, I think all this "OMG THIS GAME IS GONNA SUCK BECAUSE IT'S GOT DC IN IT!!!!" stuff is getting really overblown.
For all the people who are saying "wtf DC/MK crossover", don't you forget another little franchise called "Marvel Vs. Capcom".
And, I don't know about you guys, but I am *dying* to play as Batman.
My only worry is balance... hell, what am I kidding, there's no way this game will be balanced, so might as well enjoy it for what it is.

By The Associated Press
Despite Turkey's injury and suspension woes heading to Wednesday's semifinal against Germany at the European Championship, UEFA has no plans to alter its rules and allow the team to call up more players.
The Turks were without six players when they beat Croatia 3-1 in a penalty-kick shootout in the quarterfinals Friday, and lost another three - Tuncay Sanli, Arda Turan and Emre Asik - to suspension with accumulated yellow cards.
Striker Nihat Kahveci also hurt his thigh and looks certain to be ruled out, adding to coach Fatih Terim's worries as Turkey looks to reach its first final at a major tournament.
Emre Gungor (calf) has already been ruled out of Euro 2008, while Servet Cetin (hip and knee), Tumer Metin (groin) and Emre Belozoglu (hamstring) face a race to be fit in time for the match in Basel, Switzerland.
Defensive midfielder Mehmet Aurelio returns from a one-match ban, but goalkeeper Volkan Demirel still has one game left on his suspension. He was sent off against the Czech Republic last week;Turkey is appealing that suspension.
"You can't replace any players after the first game (of the tournament) has been played," UEFA spokesman William Gaillard said Sunday. "We know some teams are facing difficulties, but this is a hard rule of the tournament. We have no intention of changing the tournament rules.
"If a team only had eight players to choose from before a match, then we might call an emergency meeting. But we have had no requests and we would find it a bit difficult changing now."
UEFA also said that the Russian federation failed to sell about 1,000 tickets it bought from UEFA for the team's 3-1 quarterfinal win over the Netherlands. The seats were empty at St. Jakob Park in Basel for Saturday's match, while 226,000 supporters watched from fan zones in Austria and Switzerland. Basel had 69,000 in its fan zones, while there were about 150,000 Dutch fans in the city for the match.
SWISS ARRESTS: Swiss police arrested 30 fans in Basel following Russia's 3-1 win over the Netherlands.
Police said Sunday they had to break up a number of fights in the city center after Saturday's quarterfinal. The arrests included Russian and Dutch fans, as well as Swiss nationals.
Still, authorities described the celebrations as "mostly friendly." About 180,000 fans - mostly from the Netherlands - had congregated in the northwest Swiss city.
Police said about 800 people were treated for exhaustion, dehydration and a few cases of life-threatening circulatory problems, with 65 being hospitalized.
NEAR COLLISION: A Swiss military flight meant as training for the European Championship nearly went horribly awry earlier this month when it almost collided with a business jet above Geneva.
Juerg Nussbaum, spokesman for the Swiss Air Force, confirmed a report in the weekly SonntagsZeitung that an F-18 Hornet fighter plane nearly crashed with a civil plane flying from Spain on June 4. He said the incident was still being investigated.
The Zurich newspaper said the F-18 was being prepared for security flights over stadiums during the soccer tournament in Austria and Switzerland.
Nussbaum also confirmed that a second aeronautic incident took place recently, but said that one had nothing to do with Euros. On Friday, an unmanned drone was forced to make an emergency landing with a parachute in central Switzerland, he said, adding that an ignition cable failure caused motor problems.
HEDGING HICKERSBERGER: Austria coach Josef Hickersberger is unsure about continuing to manage the team in the upcoming World Cup qualifying.
"I don't know if it would be right at all if I stay on as the team coach," Hickersberger told Austrian radio station Oe3.
"If someone else was to become the coach, I would be a happy man. I would be relieved if the Austrian football federation said someone else takes over the job. I gave my best - that was not enough."
Co-host Austria was eliminated in the group stage after losing to both Croatia and Germany and drawing with Poland.
Austria won only five of its 27 matches since Hickersberger became coach in January 2006, the worst record for an Austrian team coach since 1945. He also led the team from 1988-90.
The 60-year-old Hickersberger said he was awaiting the results of a medical test for high blood pressure.
"If the doctors say, 'It's your own risk, you could die on the bench,' then I think it's much too early for (jeopardizing his health)," he said.
Hickersberger's contract expires in December. Players called on the coach to stay after the team's elimination from Euro 2008, but Austrian federation president Friedrich Stickler said he expected to announce the staff to lead the team after a board meeting next Tuesday.
Austria starts 2010 World Cup qualifying against France in Vienna on Sept. 6.

|Re: What to say in AOO 3.4.1 release announcement about the ports? (BSD, Solaris, OS/2)?
|Sun, 19 Aug 2012 23:17:14 GMT
So it looks like we're ending up with two related pages, both now in staging: This page describes the porting work in the project, including work-in-progress as well as work that has already lead to a release: http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/porting/index.html And this page lists only ports that are actually available for download: http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/non_ASF.html So in terms of the release announcement, I assume we mention the first page, the one for the ports-in-progress, since we are not releasing concurrently with any other ports. Does that sound right? The mention of ports in the announcement is a statement about the breadth of the ecosystem. It is not a statement about immediately availability of downloads. Regards, -Rob

'It's hard having a disability but it won't stop me from doing what I want to do."
Scott is so right in saying this. He is a 30-year-old with cerebral palsy but lives his life the way he wants to.
Scott, who might not be able to walk properly or talk, is a true inspiration for everyone else and his disability doesn't stop him from working out, something that he really feels like doing.
Every day we think of skipping our gym class because we feel too tired for it. There are some who have never even attempted to work out. But this man makes you realize what you have should not be taken for granted.
His passion and his faith and of course his smile, makes you believe in yourself as well.
Here are a few moving comments on this video:
What a triumph of the human spirit?
You are an inspiration. You make me not want to take what I have for granted.?Thank you for that.
This is such a great video. ?
I was not expecting to see him on that treadmill. That was damn moving.
makes me feel like a pile of horse shit because I am like " I need motivation to work out " and all this guy needs is a gym.
Hi smile was EVERYTHING.
And to think that I skipped a day yesterday just because I was too tired. This guy puts me to shame.
What do you think about Scott's inspiring story? Let us know with your comments.

As recently reported by BlueMauMau.org, the franchisor of the Tilted Kilt restaurant franchise system has recently been sued by several employees of its Chicago-based franchisee. The complaint arises out of alleged sexual harassment perpetrated by the franchisee himself.
Last year I wrote about franchisors being exposed to liability based on the conduct of their franchisees, but the issue is so important for all parties involved that several points bear repeating.
In the Tilted Kilt case, the franchisor allegedly published an "employee handbook" for franchisees to distribute to their staff, and exerted significant control over the operation of the franchised outlet in question. If true, these are two factors that typically weigh in favor of finding the franchisor to be a "joint employer" with its franchisee, thereby potentially subjecting it to liability for the alleged harassment.
Franchisors are supposed to provide support to their franchisees, and at its core, a franchise system is about building a cohesive, structured and predictable network of franchised outlets.
Even so, franchisors need to maintain an adequate degree of separation between themselves and their franchisees. Franchises are supposed to be "independently owned and operated," and this is legally significant. Failure to maintain sufficient distinctions between the franchisor and the franchisee may result in the litigation situation presented in the Tilted Kilt case.
When preparing operations manuals, employment forms, and other documentation that you want your franchisees to use, do so in a way that requires franchisees to identify and maintain these distinctions. There are several effective ways to maintain uniformity and standards while also creating separation between franchisor and franchisee.
However, when a franchisor fails to impose adequate barriers between itself and the businesses carried on by its franchisees, customers, employees, and even the franchisees themselves may be able to make a colorable claim against the franchisor. If the franchisor doesn't have documentation to back up its claim of independence (or worse, if there is documentation to the contrary), then it might just be faced with multi-party litigation.
Prospective Franchisees - The Financial Questionnaire
The first qualification considered and investigated is often the prospect's financial situation, so as a franchise applicant you will need to be familiar with the financial jargon that a franchisor may employ in their questionnaire.

Roquetas de Mar Vacation Packages
Roquetas de Mar is a great place to base yourself while you are exploring Almeria as many of the city's main attractions are nearby. The Gran Plaza Mall and the Club de Golf Playa Serena are amongst the many popular destinations in the area. Also worth checking out are the La Envia Golf Course and Alcazaba.
There are some unique museums, exhibits and venues in and around Roquetas de Mar. Spend a few hours of discovering the exhibits at the Almeria Archaelogical Museum.
If you love nature and wildlife, plan a trip to some of the nearby green spaces. These are good spots to relax. Get in touch with nature at one of the local beaches, for example Almeria Beach.
Spots such as the Monastery of St. Clare and Almeria Cathedral are great places to check out while you're in the area. Take the time to visit holy places such as the Church of Our Lady of the Sea. Admire the beautiful craftsmanship and gain a deeper understanding of the religious history of the area.
At the end of a busy day exploring the delights of Roquetas de Mar, stay the night in one of the area's popular bed-and-breakfasts, hotels or short-stay apartments. If you're looking for a warm welcome and a good nights sleep it's hard to go past the AC Hotel Almería by Marriott, the Gran Hotel Almeria, and the Embajador.

Dia Chakravarty, Political Director of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: "Taxpayers should not have to pay for business class travel and pricey chauffeur-driven cars for politicians attending these meetings in Europe.
'Their claims for these jaunts should be subject to the same standards of transparency as all their other parliamentary expenses.
'The public will certainly be concerned to learn that seven years on from the MPs' expenses scandal, the culture of politicians drawing on taxpayers' cash without providing receipts has not yet been entirely eradicated.'

The Fire Drill
I thought it seemed like a good idea...after all, we all need to know how to get out of the house just in case something horrible happened.We spent a couple days talking about how it's really, really important that they get their own little bodies outside. Not toys, not DSIs or favorite t-shirts or that awesome bat. Just yourself.
Simple, right?
Fire Drill #1:
After days of bugging me every ten minutes about "when are you gonna do the fire alarm, Mom? Now? How about......now? NOW! Or, now? Or, now? Or, now? Or, now? Or, now? Or, now? Or, now? Or, now?" they finally gave up. At one point, the boys were playing Wii, and I overheard Happy say to Lefty, "We're never gonna have fire..." and Lefty responded with, "I know. It's no fair."
So I did it. I grabbed the big bell and started ringing it and yelling, "FIRE DRILL! FIRE DRILL! Get out!!" which was immediately followed by screaming and frenetic running through the house, as the children celebrated the fact that there was, indeed, a fire drill happening. It! Was! All! So! Exciting! and Happy ran up to McGee and screamed, "McGee! We getta havva FIRE!" and then there was a lot of whooping and hunting for toys and bouncing on beds as we waited for windows to be opened so they could find sheets and try to parachute out the windows that are. on. the. first. floor.
All in all, it took us seventeen minutes to get out of the house. And once we were there, the children happily informed our nearest neighbors that our house was on fire.
Conclusion: We spent a lot of time in the days after Fire Drill #1 re-learning about calmly walking out of the house, possibly maybe using a door? You know, those eight hinged things scattered around the house that you leave open all the time so we can air condition the neighborhood? [Editor's Note: Gah. I just turned into my Scottish grandmother. -Kate] The IHPs thought they deserved credit for finding each other, which - yes - was an important thing to do, but maybe after you find each other, you need to get out of the burning home rather than turning into the Flying Wallendas between my sofa and the armoire to celebrate that you found each other in the middle of a practice house fire.
Fire Drill #2
Several days later the kids were huddled down in the play room with the Wii. It had rained all day and they always feel conspired against when it rains in the summer, like God owes them an extra warm October day for depriving them of the pool. I was making dinner and watching Law & Order and drinking a glass of wine and since I was doing much more of the second and the third rather than the first, it was pretty handy that something on the stove boiled over onto the burner and by the time it got my attention, I knew I was only a few seconds away from the smoke alarm going off. HEY! Let's have a fire drill, with actual real fire drill-y sounds.
So I stood there, watching the stove. As it turns out, a watched pot never does boil, it smokes. Awesome. Cue smoke alarm.
Good Maude those things are LOUD! It goes off, I start ringing the bell. "FIRE DRILL! FIRE DRILL!" and as I get downstairs after smashing the smoke alarm out of the ceiling with the broom handle, the kids have managed to...not move an inch.
Me: "But, it's a fire drill! We have to get out of the house!"
Happy: "Mommy, it's the seventh inning...and it smells yucky. Did you burn dinner? I'm not hungry anymore."
Me: "HEY! Fire drill, remember?"
Lefty: "The door is right there. We would have made it."
McGee: "Yeah. Plus, it's raining outside. That would've put out the fire."
Happy: "And we want pizza."
Conclusion: Fire Drill FAIL. Also, we had burned dinner for dinner. And S'mores without melty marshmallows, because you need a fire for that, and I told them the rain put it out. Ingrates.
Fire Drill #3
This time I pull out the big guns. After a lovely conversation with the neighborhood fire men at our grocery store, the next fire drill was going to be the fire drill to end all fire drills. A few days later, the kids were in the house getting ready to jump into the shower after the pool, when Happy heard the sound of a fire engine. He ran to his room, jumped onto his bed and peered out his window to see a big red fire engine coming down our street.
I grab the bell..."FIRE DRILL FIRE DRILL!! (Please Maude don't f**k this up, there are actual firemen here) GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!"
Lefty ran into Happy's room to retrieve his brother, saw him on the bed, and, rather than hightailing it out the door, he joined him in the stare-out-the-window-while-the-house-burned-down festivities. By the the fire engine is in front of my house, the neighbors are coming outside, and the IHPs are -- yes -- all in the bedroom. Watching.
Lefty: [elated] MOM! There's a fire engine! Look!
Happy: [so so very happy] "AHHHH It's a fire engine. Wooo-wooo-wooo-wooo-wooo! Come see!"
Me: "Let's get outside and go see it. Show them that you learned a fire drill. C'mon!"
Happy: [mouth hanging open] "There are the firemen!"
Me: "Boys! Get down!"
Lefty: "But they might leave before we get outside."
WHUCK?! We don't live in a hotel, dude. It'll take all of eight seconds to get outside. I finally had to grab one, bribe McGee to grab the other, and drag them outside. When we walked out, we had to attend remedial fire drill classes. In front of our neighbors.
Conclusion: We're improving? The first drill took us seventeen minutes to get out the door. The second - we never left. You know, because fires don't happen in bad weather. And the third took us eleven minutes, a terrible record by any standards.
At one point, the fireman asked Lefty why he didn't just go out the window since he was already standing on the bed. As it turned out, Lefty didn't have his parachute. It's a long way down from the first floor.

I run an in home daycare, nothing is more fun than the mandatory monthly fire drills with 2 infants, 2 toddlers and 2 preschoolers all trying to line up and walk out of the house in an orderly fashion. Fun times. After 18 months and just as many fire drills, these children still manage to fail. =/ReplyDelete
You made my husband and I cry because we were laughing so hard......can't believe you got real firemen.......awesome!ReplyDelete
LOL! Love how their minds work! They'll get it. I'll hope your sanity is still intact hehe. So what did you bribe McGee with? ;)ReplyDelete
Stop, drop, roll, Wii. That's the order, right?ReplyDelete

I just might have a fire drill right now... We've been talking about where we meet if there was a fire... I wonder of my midgets actually know!? Good reminder! Thank you!ReplyDelete
two things. 1. someone needs to watch kindergarten cop- your kids will be whipped into shape after that. 2. the first time my sister had a fire drill at school, she ran ALL THE WAY HOME. i still laugh so hard i get tears in my eyes when i picture it.ReplyDelete
So I had my own fire drill this afternoon. I think if our house is ever really on fire, I should just conk my two on the head and drag their unconscious bodies out myself. Safer for everyone involved, honestly.ReplyDelete
Oh, and the dog? There's no hope, he's just a goner. Poor thing.
Well, that's adorably frustrating isn't it?! Had myself a nice guffaw at what y'all had for dinner that one night. So, it's not just my house. Awesome!:DReplyDelete
Ha Ha! I have no children, but I do have six (4 dogs,2 cats) pets and a bad habit of catching the kitchen on fire. After 3 kitchen fires in the past couple of years, we have it down pat. Matter of fact, if I am cooking and the smoke detector goes off, all six animals will race to the garage door immediately (from any place in the house) and bark to be let out. My beagle/basset mix will grab her favorite toy first, but she's still at the door in seconds. One time I was in the office when it went off, and one of the beagles went and chased me to the garage door! As soon as you open the door, they all race to the car and all I have to do is open a car door and all six will hop right in. This came in handy during Snowpocolypse 2008 when we had to be evacuated from our house in minutes during the middle of the night.I was able to grab clothes,kibble, and go within 5 minutes. So long story short...send your kids to my house and I'll get 'em trained well!ReplyDelete

We tried to set up family fire drills after a lovely little incident where a friend of mine was watching the kids so I could go to the store (after daddy & I split up). I was standing in the ketchup aisle when I got a call from Brinks telling me my fire alarm was going off and asking should they send the brigade?...umm, I am shopping? How is my alarm going off? OMG MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE!! I raced home to see a fire engine and ambulance in front of my house. I run up to find my 4 kids together (the youngest were 9 mths and 20 mths-I was petrified!) and my friend talking to a fireman, with the other firemen standing around...snickering? What was going on you might ask? Oh, it turns out my sweet, darling 7 yo daughter took such a very long and hot shower that the steam set off the fire alarm. WHUCK?! I have never been so embarassed, but yet grateful my city has a good response time! We still tease her about that when she goes to take showers. :)ReplyDelete
Kate, I'm confused: which kid is in charge of grabbing your shoe collection on the way out the door...?ReplyDelete
It can be done! It just takes a year or 2. My eldest has auditory processing issues. The smoke detector going off originally caused her to A. Hide in closet. B. Hide under bed. C. Stand in a corner screaming louder than the smoke detector with her hands over her ears. Wait that still happens except her feet now move to the nearest exit. Also the smoke detector nearest her room talks! 2 loud but not freak out beeps and then it says fire fire fire.ReplyDelete
Thank goodness for the fireman that got me hooked up with that smoke detector. I also let the kids go out a window ( we have no second floor) or door as long as they get to the tree before me. I did fire drills almost every day for 2 weeks. Multiple times a day, until they got out in under 2 min. Then once a month & now whenever I feel like it I can evacuate my kids but seriously it took a good year for me to get them to have pavlov's dog reaction, of smoke alarm = leave house.

Explosive testing kits
Explosives Detection Devices
Commercial Protection | Military | Security | Law Enforcement | Homeland Defence
Field Forensics manufactures three product lines of "colorimetric" detection kits for explosives detection and precursor identification. "Colorimetric" means that the response of the kits to a positive detection or identification is a color change, visible to the human eye. In our kits the color change is obvious. The product lines are as follows:
The E.L.I.T.E.™ Series, which includes the Model EL100 and the Model EL240 were designed for trace detection of explosives. The Model EL100 is designed for trace detection of the nitrogen-based explosives. The Model EL240 is designed for trace detection of peroxide-based explosives such as TATP, HMTD, and MEKP as well as chlorate mixtures. Click here for more information.
The IDEX™ Series, includes several models for the identification of bulk compounds, primarily precursors for home-made explosives, and each model in the series identifies just one target substance. As new compounds become a threat IDEX models are added. Right now there are IDEX units for compounds including ammonium, urea nitrate, chlorate, perchlorate, nitrate, phosphate, acetic anhydride, and peroxide. Click here for more information.
The ULTRA™ Series, the latest addition to the FFI lineup, is a combination of detection and identification - trace and bulk. This unique new series combines trace detection with specific identification of many target compounds, home-made explosives and precursors, such as ammonium nitrate, chlorates, urea nitrate and peroxide.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one but I am on my 3rd one of these in 5 months. The first two were replaced due to a defect which the inner plastic breather cap eventually just falls right out of the center. Whatever they use as an adhesive just disintegrates and it no longer holds the breather cap in place. I am having my last one sent to me, if it fails i will be returning the set of cap and LED fuel gauge.

Bone Marrow Procurement: Core Biopsy
A core of bone, rather than an aspirate of liquid marrow, is collected using a large bore biopsy needle that is inserted and twisted to obtain a core biopsy sample from within the needle. The image* illustrates the body site where the bone marrow core biopsy is normally obtained.
The ideal bone marrow core biopsy sample, which depends on the reason for the bone marrow biopsy, should be approximately 1-2 cm in length for optimal evaluation of anemia. For evaluation of lymphoma or metastatic carcinoma, a larger core is desirable, usually bilaterally. In appearance, the core biopsy should be red, with grossly identifiable bone specks. What you do not want to see is a sample that is uniformly white or shiny. A solid white core biopsy usually indicates that cortical bone was sampled. A glistening sample may indicate that cartilage was sampled. However, metastatic carcinoma may present with a similar, glistening appearance.
