WASHINGTON - Playing on the fear factor, Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) suggested in a campaign speech there might be another terrorist attack on the United States if John Kerry (news - web sites) were in the White House. President Bush (news - web sites)'s opponents' are raising their own worst fears, including the potential for more wars during a second Bush term.

Perhaps you've read my four part series entitled, Visual Basic 101. In that series I explained how to build a specialized SAM bandwidth calculator. Granted, that series was long and in-depth, but I think it was worth it. However, I am also aware that most sysadmins don't have the luxury of a lot of free time. A four part series on VB may have been overkill, especially if you're sysadmin putting out fires constantly. Enter VBScript. Think of it as Visual Basic without the pesky API. This will be a hit and run lesson/example of how to have a VBScript start another program.
The following example demonstrates how to write a simple VBScript to open notepad.exe:
1. Open Notepad and paste the following code into a new document:
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim exeName
Dim statusCode
exeName = "%windir%\notepad"
statusCode = WshShell.Run (exeName, 1, true)
MsgBox("End of Program")
2. Save the file as Example.vbs (manually change the extension to .vbs)
3. Double-click Example.vbs to run the program which launches Notepad.exe, then shows a message box upon closing.
Note: To open a program other than Notepad, change the highlighted section above to the path and program you want to execute, for example,
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
SolarWinds SAM has a Windows script monitor that can handle various programming languages, including VBScript. It may behoove you to become familiar with at least one.

A belief in a transcendent God and a resurrected Christ has less meaning for me now than does a sense of the life-sustaining interrelationships of the natural world. For me, those interrelationships provide a firmer foundation for an ethical system—a greater sense of responsibility—than the teachings of Christianity. The idea that my actions and my patterns of consumption cause harm elsewhere in the world fills me with a sense of sinfulness. I would rather strive to have a right relationship with the planet than a right relationship with Jesus. My mother-in-law, who is a very religious woman, asked me if I was prepared to give up a belief in life after death. I've never had a strong faith in such a thing. Now, while I can, I would rather put my faith and my energy into this life, into the world that is, to make sure there is a future here for my children and my children's children.
In the Acts of the Apostles, Paul preaches to the Athenians and quotes the Greek philosopher Epimenides to say that God is the one in whom "we live and move and have our being." For me, that sounds like a description of the environment. The environment doesn't demand elaborate acts of worship or churches (each of which has its own carbon footprint). It demands stewardship. It demands a focus on interdependence, not transcendence.
I've begun to investigate environmental organizations which might become recipients of my "church money." The American Institute of Philanthropy has a good website which grades charities, primarily according to how much of donated money goes directly into programming. The highest rated environmental charity is The Conservation Fund, which receives an A+. 97¢ of every dollar goes directly to programming. What I've read about that programming seems impressive. The Conservation Fund believes in collaboration, not confrontation. It focuses on building partnerships, with businesses and other groups, to preserve land for conservation, to create sustainable solutions, and to sequester carbon. It's worth a closer look. Meanwhile, if you have suggestions for charitable giving to environmental organizations, please let me know.
My views on religion are evolving all the time. For previous statements of my views on religion, look here (from the February 2005 issue of the online journal Bad Subjects) and see my sermon, linked in the sticky post above.

Wow, Rob -- powerful stuff! We had some very interesting conversations here last winter, when Anne Bretts and her husband hosted a salon on atheism, centered around the recent books by Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins. My own urge to tread lightly on the earth, to treasure it, and to guard and heal it from our excesses is the closest thing I now have to a religious impulse, apart from the effect music, and love for my children, can have.
I haven't done the research, but it is my impression that the Nature Conservancy is accomplishing some of the most practical, hands-on environmental stewardship that's out there. It doesn't get much more real than actually buying land or conservation easements to protect habitat and ecosystems.

We've got a "get involved" section of our blogroll that has a couple dozen Christian environmental organizations to consider. A Rocha USA and Care of Creation get the bulk of our blogad donations, but there are lots of others depending on how you want to "steward" your creation stewardship money.

There comes a time in every 20-something's life when she starts to question everything she's ever known. You're no longer in college living off your bad decisions and parents' money, but you still aren't anywhere near having your shit together. Britney Spear's immortal lyrics, "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" have never rung more true. Besides your cell phone bill and car insurance payments, you're on your own.
Should you be investing money? Should you start taking vitamins? Should you get Life Alert in case you choke or fall while alone in your apartment? These are all valid questions, but they could be signs of a deeper issue: a quarter life crisis. This is excessively common in post-grad women who have never had to really face any challenges in their lives except maybe having to use a cracked iPhone4 for a few weeks. However, as trivial as this may sound to some, it can be a devastating time period for those suffering through it. Learn the signs to know if you, too, could be experiencing a quarter life crisis.
If left untreated, a quarter life crisis can lead to more serious conditions: lack of self-awareness, incessant Facebook status updates pertaining only to you, the unintended use of Tinder as a spouse finder, unwanted pregnancy, etc. Don't let your crisis take control of your life or you will suffer debilitating consequences. The best way to take control is to embrace your current state in life. You may hate your job, have no current romantic prospects and be witnessing your body slowly decay, but you will never get this time back. It's only going to get worse from here on out, so you better just get over yourself and stop annoying everyone around you with your bitching. Oh, and maybe look into Botox.

Yesterday I committed to completing 205 exercise minutes by the end of the day Wednesday. That averages out to 30 minutes per day. I definately think that it is doable. I would love to be more. Do you know how many I did yesterday?
See... I get started and then when a snag hits, I can't pick up and roll again. I just need to do that. This week sleeping in has been more important than getting up and moving. I feel better but dh is stressing which in turn is making me stressed out. It is not his fault...it is mine.
So today...today I commit that by the time I go to sleep tonight I will have at least 35 minutes done since that is what I need to average to make 500 minutes by Wednesday.
I should have gone for a walk yesterday in the beautiful sunny but very windy weather. Oh well..no regrets.
TGIF except I have to work tomorrow.

Something wonderful must have happened to me at an early age in relation to a jack-o-lantern because I love Halloween imagery. When I hear people carping that the Halloween stuff arrives in the stores too early (like August), I want to flush their cell phones down the toilet so they will have something real to complain about. Wigs and candy can never, ever arrive too early.
And because retailers rush their objets d'ark out to the public at this time of year, I've decided I will too -- and begin October with a creepy little incident that happened to me in a legendarily spooky place. Some details might be fuzzy, as it happened years ago. The day, though, was clear.

Current events
Again departing from structure for a bit, I decided to do a little research on current events that link to the Akapana. I decided not to focus on the obvious stuff like the solstice ceremony on June 21 since that info is easy to find. So here's a list of random stuff I found: 1. In early October of 2005, more tunnels were discovered beneath the Akapana, and a remote-controlled camera was sent down to investigate further. The story was picked up by both regular people via blogs, as well as via the news media. Cultural significance: Show that there is still very much a spirit of discovery and excitement surrounding the site even though it's been investigated for hundreds of years. 2. From tourist accounts in blogs, personal home pages, and travel sites, I notice that tour guides like to point out the "mysterious" magnetic fields at the site of the Akapana (nothing more than a result of some of the rocks being andesite). Cultural significance: A demonstration of how speculation can get spread around the world about the Akapana and how crazy UFO stories get started. Also shows the need for locals to keep interest in the site alive. 3. The president of Bolivia visited Tiwanaku on August 1, 2004 to kick off a new investigation of the Akapana pyramid (a 5-year project, partially funded by the government). Cultural significance: Shows that the Akapana is a national treasure. 4. UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently named Tiwanaku a World Heritage Site partly because structures like the Akapana, "are exceptional examples of the ceremonial and public architecture and art of one of the most important manifestations of the civilizations of the Andean region." Cultural significance: Shows that the Akapana is also an international treasure.

Thai soccer team makes it out safe and sound
As an anxious world watched, the last four young soccer players and their coach were pulled from a flooded cave in northern Thailand on Tuesday. The coach led the 12 members of the Wild Boars into the cave system on June 23 when their exit became blocked by rising waters. The difficult rescue operation took more than a week to free the entire team. Thai Navy SEALS led the effort but more than 90 rescue workers from around the world helped find and pull the boys from the dark, twisting caves. The focus now turns to the physical and psychological health of the boys. Although early signs appear positive, it may be several days before they can leave the hospital and finally get home.
Brett Kavanaugh, this is your life
Judge Brett Kavanaugh is going under the microscope now that he's President Donald Trump's nominee to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. With a tight 51-49 Republican majority in the Senate – and with the contentious issue of how the court would address special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation hanging over the confirmation process – Trump's pick can expect a bitter battle. Democrats trying to scuttle the nomination have their work cut out for them. Kavanaugh has a résumé even the court's current justices can't match – 12 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia Circuit, a Yale pedigree, a Supreme Court clerkship under Kennedy and top posts under President George W. Bush. On top of that, a former clerk describes him as an "independent jurist and open-minded person."
Trump wants to give 'Rocket Man' the gift of Elton John
President Donald Trump hurled the nickname "Little Rocket Man" at North Korean leader Kim Jong Un last fall as an insult. Now, after the two leaders held their face-to-face summit, Trump wants to present it as a gift. Trump confirmed Tuesday that he wants to give Kim an Elton John CD that includes the hit song "Rocket Man." The president thought up the gift as he sent Secretary of State Mike Pompeo back to North Korea last week. But Pompeo's talks there did not go well, and Kim was not given the CD, which Trump had personally signed.
What is love? Gen Z might have some answers
Like baby boomers, Gen X-ers and millennials before them, Generation Z — kids born between 1997 and 2016 — have plenty of thoughts on love, marriage and family life. We asked kids across the U.S. what they thought about love and the future, and here's what we learned:
- Four in five say they would date outside their race. Gen Z happens to be the most racially diverse of the generations.
- Two-thirds support marriage equality.
- Most teen boys not only want to have families, but also are more open to doing housework and cooking.
All generations still agree on one thing: Dating is super awkward.
About 80 percent of teens are open to getting married one day, youth marketing firm YPulse found.

Elder Fansico J Viñas came and talked to us about...missionary work! Imagine that. It was cool to meet more people in my mission. I met a sister from Brazil named Hermana S. She's uber nice. We were talking and she told me that she lived in Boise for a while in college. So we talked about Boise for a bit and I asked, "By any chance do you know E M?" And guess what. She knows E! How crazy is that! She's from Brazil, we're in Chile and she knows E M! So that was super cool. But yeah, there are a lot of really great people in my mission. No, Elder A wasn't there, it was only half the mission. But did I tell you that Hermana M first zone leader was Elder A? She was also in his district.
So something kinda sad happened this week. We had an emergency transfer. I don't know why, but Hermana S got transfered to the Rancagua area. Hermana S and I were pretty close so I was really bummed. She's also training right now, which is a tad bit scary for her. We were on the same plane to Chile. Not to mention she's training a gringa. Usually the gringas train the latinas and vice versa. But she's training a gringa that doesn't know very much spanish! Hna S knows a lot of spanish, but she's still not fluent. She was scared, but of all people, I would pick her for this emergency transfer too. She's an amazing person.
But now, I'm currently the only english speaker in the apartment. So I think my spanish is going to improve tenfold this transfer. My spanish is coming along quite a bit. I can understand about 90-95% of everything people say. I still struggle with speaking a bit, but I'm a lot better. And I can get my point across, I just still have to think about what I'm saying. I still have a lot to learn, but it will come. And I'm surprized with how much I know already.
Anywho, I don't think anything else very exciting happened this week. The zone came to constitución today to go to the beach! Woo! Conti is the best! Oh and we've started teaching english classes! It was going to be me, Hna S and Elder S, but now it will just be me and Elder S since Hna S left.... :( Oh yeah, it's slightly difficult to teach your language in a different language. Just saying.
Oh and tell dad I say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Tell him he's awesome and has been an amazing example to me these last 20 years. (yikes, 20 years?!)
I love you all! Stay awesome!
Hermana Hutchinson

But maybe you aren't like me and you're more apt to dance around like an idiot and wear skinny ties and pay over a $100 to drink well liquor and be subjected to horrendous music. Fortunately for you, there's no need to hit that club tonight. I mean, you know your really not going to steal that New Year's kiss that you've been waiting for all year lardo. With that in mind, if you still feel like waddling around and sweating profusely, then play some of this classic house. It's more fun than working out with a video game (who really wants to do that?) and you won't need to embarrass yourself in public like you did last year. I still remember how you choked on that cheese log and then threw up in the radiator when no one was looking.
P.S. Fuck you 2010. You were easily the worst year in my life.
P.S.S. I love you 2011, please be kind.

Scott Walker-The Drift
There's gotta be more than a few of you out there who see this day as just amateur hour for dilettantes who drink shitty champagne and act like assholes three times a year. Buddy, I can drink any day I want and i definitely don't need you blowing that party favor in my face. If you're like me and hate all these obnoxious celebrants might I suggest a nice bottle of Żubrówka and this portable black hole. I'm betting that every one who wants to hear this already owns it, since it's truly essential, but since this blog is really just about posting albums I like and secretly fear I might lose/get stolen, it's reassuring to me to know that I can always have it (even if it is in a virtual form). I've had people try to argue with me that Scott Walker is over rated. If they we're just basing this on his early out put I may be slightly swayed. But when you consider this album and Tilt, those people sound like a bunch of dunces who probably listen to Wilco. I say fuck them.

Electic Eels-The Eyeball of Hell
Oh look, another gem from beautiful Cleveland. Since my friends Alex and Leslie are passing their time in that burgh I might as well continue to post classics from a town that's produced it's fair share. I've already posted some 7" by the XX (the good one) and Dave E. so I might as well finally post something by the Electric Eels. This band continues to blow me away, so much so that I assume that everyone is already intimately familiarity with their output. But if that's not the case, them I might as well let some minds be blown upon approaching the new year. Blast this and you won't need fireworks.

Didjits-Signifies my Go T
Everything I read seems to say that Fizzjob was this band's debut, but, and I might be wrong about this, I seem to think that this cassette was their first release. And coming out of Matoon, IL there was little precedent for them to follow (has there ever been any other band from Matoon? Where the fuck is Matoon?). So one more Illinois post while I'm still lingering here eating hamburgers named after Thin Lizzy and drinking my share of Old Style. And I like the title since it makes fun of goatee and they are stupid. Full beards only fellas. It's really all or nothing when it comes to facial hair. Unless you want to half ass it and look like a dad at his child's soccer match that still thinks frosted hair makes him rock.

Comet-Chandelier Musings
Being back at my parents house for vacation, I have access to many records and cds I left behind so many years ago. It's always been difficult moving so many damned records so their house has become a sort of stash house for the less played discs. Trolling through some rather embarrassing purchases, I found this forgotten gem. And it doesn't seem to be forgotten by me alone. No one seems to care about this album, but upon relisten, I found it the perfect blend of shoegaze and 90s indie rock (I think Dave Fridmann of Mercury Rev produces this one). There's no reason for this one to be gathering dust anymore.

Raksha Mancham-Chös Khor
These people have been around for sometime, so I guess that if you're into this type of thing then you already know who they are. For those not in the know, the cover is somewhat helpful. No, these are a bunch of field recordings of tribesmen or anything like that, but there is certainly an undercurrent of tribalism that underpins most of these tracks. These Belgian dudes play instruments from every corner of the globe, but it's done in a style that prevents them from being cultural plagiarist like Vampire Weekend (when will you die?) despite what some may claim.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep AKA Blade Runner-Foley
I could probably make some crack about Vangelis here, but why would I want to do that? I love his original soundtrack to a film that I sometimes (depending on the day) might rank in my top 10 movies of all time. But this isn't the Vangelis soundtrack, so all the naysayers need not chirp up. Instead, this is simply all the background noise of the film. You know, things like space ships flitting about, things burning, bleeps and blorps, etc. It might sound dumb, but it's no dumber than any noise project that you would listen to. In fact, it's really quite a relaxing read. I wouldn't be surprised if several listeners fell asleep during it.

Confuse-Spending Loud Night
Sometimes I get bored and do a google search to see if anybody links to my blog (oddly enough, I've never actaully searched for my own name). Maybe it's just me, but it seems like this site is getting lumped in with some pretty strange things. Here's the top five:
1.) Band Member Names | Linkin Park Band Member Names
2.) Mississippi | World of juggling News
3.) Debby - Indonesian Blog Directories
4.) The Sex Creep Sex, World's Worst Voyeur Sexsite Voyeur And Spy Cam
5.) Prevent Breast Cancer:Secret of Ki(Qi) Energy Master from Japan Part2
I don't know what I'm supposed to make of this list, but it is enjoyable. That's the same feelings I get from this classic Japanese punk nightmare. It's brilliant, but I'm still not sure if I'm absorbing it all since every listen provides more and more pleasure. Not a grower album, but something that just keeps improving. Kinda like those weird little crystals you would grow under water when you were a kid.

Arthur Doyle-Plays and Sings from the Song Book Vol. 1
There was a period some years back when a pal of mine would receive regular phone calls from Mr. Doyle. You would assume that taking to one of the more revered living free jazz giants would be pretty interesting, but Arthur Doyle is apparently a dirty old man. Rather than talk business (my friend put out one of his records) Doyle was only interested in trying to have phone sex with my friend's wife. I'm not sure if this makes me like him less or more. As expected you get some pretty heavy blowing that strikes at the ear drums with sadistic revelry. But what makes this one worth it is the unexpected bizarro vocalese. A pretty fucked cover of Groovin' (now titled Grovery) is a prime example of how a bum singing on a street corner can sometime sound like an angel (albeit one fucked to high heaven).

Hammerhead-Duh, the Big
Not a decent pic of this one on line and I assume it's due to general lack of interest. Pity really, since this is one of those AmRep dealies that I continuously come back to. There's a few decent bands out there now who have taken up the cause of bringing back the ugly to rock. I applaud that gesture. But I am old and remember bands like this who already did all of that but 20 years before. And speaking of ugly, for many years the back picture of this album led me to believe these guys were from Germany. What? Name one pretty group from that country. Scorpions and Accept do not count.

Wendy & Bonnie-Genesis
Might as well get off this whole Chicago jag, otherwise I'll end up posting about forty albums and boring you to death with my banal ramblings. Although the proposition of killing off a few people with my dreary words does sound entertaining, I might as well shut it and make with the goods. If memory serves me, the girlie/folk/psych/pop stuff I've posted in the past always seemed to have several people interested. Then I might as well just post this one, since if that is the type of music you're into, you might as well have this one. A serious classic. And they we around 12-15 when they made this. I was skating, making stupid home movies, and smoking pot. I guess I lose that one.

Philip Cohran and the Artistic Heritage Ensemble-Singles
Technically, Cohran is from Mississippi then St. Louis, but I'll claim him for Chicago anyways. The dude help found the AACM and played with Sun Ra during his tenure in town. When that astral dweller split, Cohran decided to stay in town and remains here to this day (as far as I know) , so I'd say he's Chicago as fuck. This is one person whose rediscovery just thrilled me. He definitely deserves all the respect he's been garnering these last few years. All of his albums are mandatory owns.

Cryan Shames-Synthesis
Who says Hinsdale stinks? Well, maybe the people from Hinsdale might since it is a super fucking snobby town. But hey, they birthed this great pop/psych outfit. Most people probably know this group for "Sugar & Spice." I know, you might think that tune is a bit...er...sugary, but that's really not how this one sounds, as they must of had a moment where they decided to stop playing for teenage girls and start freaking out. It's not some heavy psych behemoth or anything, but it definitely doesn't sound like something the Archies sang.

Since I'm back in the motherland I might as well post a few discs from local bands. I found one for a buck, but not while I lived back here. Oddly enough, it turned up in the dollar bin at my friend's record store in Albuquerque. And this cover was worth the dollar alone. Too bad it doesn't really come across on the internet. Maybe you should actually leave your house and buy a copy. for some reason I always thought this formed out of the ashes of H.P. Lovecraft, but I was wrong. It does include a member who went on to join them. It also includes various other people whom you might know if you're interested in Chicago 60s rock. But I won't hold it against you if your aren't. It's a fairly neglected genre.

Back in Chicago and it is fucking cold. But I can't complain. I love it like this. There's nothing quite like breathing in air that feels completely devoid of oxygen. Or that the oxygen was replaced by razor sharp ice crystals. No kidding, I actually like that experience. So this is the prefect soundtrack for when the weather gets bleak. This is the sound of the frozen tundra that is your heart.

The Go Team-Monthly Singles
No this is not that bullshit band that sounds like a bunch of cheer leaders making shitty dance music for shitty commercials. This is actually something worthy of your attention. Especially if you are a fan of Beat Happening (as you should be). Since this is Calvin Johnson & Tobi Vail's pop project you can pretty much guess what's here. This is actually making me feel slightly better despite the circumstances. But only slightly. Reminds me of a time I got tangled up in Calvin's microphone chord and then grinded on in the basement of some bagel shop. Weird times.

Ruin-Songs of Reverie and Ruin
What hardcore bands cover Leonard Cohen, Jefferson Airplane, and the Rolling Stones? Aside from this Philly based Buddhist conglomerate I can't think of another. I never saw their live shows but apparently they were quite a spectacle clothed in white gowns on a stage strewn with candles. Not your typical punks for sure. This cd combines their two releases, He-Ho and Fiat Lux as well as some comp appearances. Even Superchunk covered them. I even think a few of these guys are professors now. Why aren't their people like this in my department. I have colleagues that want to talk about Derrida and Lacan and their children and other boring shit.

Warmer Milks-Radish on Light
Not too sure why most people ignored this release. It was one of those albums that seemed to fill the cut out bins. No joke, I was in Boston round the time when it came out and there was a stack for a dollar a piece. What gives people? This is a damned fine album. I have no idea what to really say about this band (though I think it's just one guy, not sure). Kinda like Bauhaus, Melvins, and the Dead in a really nasty three way. Download it and then pick up a copy for a buck.

If there's one album title tht can explain my current emotional state it's got to be this one. How's about these events. 1.) got rear ended because some knob decided to do a three point turn in the middle of the road and forced a chain of cars to slam on their breaks, 2.) I have a horribly sick car that I've had to take the the vet twice this week, 3.) while trying to drive back to Chicago, I hit an ice patch did two 360s on a seriously busy highway and slammed into a semi, totaling my car. In a year that's already been the worst one in my life, I'm not sure if there's much more I can take. Hence fragile. And how dare you speak ill of Yes? They sound like Sunny Day Real Estate twenty something years ahead of time. Such a classic that any music fan should own.

The Fall-Grotesque (After the Gramme)
It really makes no sense for me to have a music blog and not post anything by The Fall. How could it have taken me so long to up something by a band so dear to me? I can't say if this is my favorite of theirs or not. But with 10,000 releases (or something around that number) it's really hard for me to decide. And I'm one of those fans that like all periods of this band, not just the early years. Mark E. Smith is a hero to all disgruntled, aging types like myself. You've gotta love the bitterness.

Mark Hollis
Well, the semester is finally over and all I have to do is grade a huge fucking stack of papers. How grand. I'm also curious to see how many students will ask me out this time around. Arrogant? Perhaps, however last semester saw at least three young lasses asking me if I would like to grab a drink with them. But don't worry, I'm not one of those old lecherous type of teacher. Though a free drink does sound quite nice. All of that aside, this record came up in conversation somewhat recently and I was surprised to hear that my friend, an ardent Talk Talk fan, had never hear this charming album. And I assume that there's several other people out there that never even knew it existed despite loving Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock (these albums have yet to be topped no matter how hard Radiohead plagiarizes them). So Sam, here you go pal.

The Family Jams
I'm not some murderer fetishist. I never really got that whole thing. I mean, I like Whitehouse and all, and Answer Me! had it's moments, but that whole killer kult never really clicked with me. So I'm not posting this album for titillation or those with morbid curiosities. Yes, this really is the pre-killing spree Manson family, but it's not some cash in disc of garbage. It's really a good psych folk record. Check out Ra-Hide Away. See, it's actually quite good. I've heard Manson albums before and most of them suck pretty hard, but since he's not actually singing here you don't have to worry about that.

Okay, I know this picture is really shit, but the only pictures I could find of this on line were about the size of most peoples' brains.

And it's a real shame since I think this is a really great 90s rock album. Put it up there with Sebadoh, GBV, and the like.

Don't want to hear it. If you're going to be a crybaby then just collect your tears in a tear jar, label them, and put them on your tear jar shelf, Tearsis.

Band name, cover art, lyrics--sure they can all be offensive, but so can these uggs boots and I'm not going to e-mail anything about those. So if you're not going to cry, you might enjoy the utter ridiculousness of the band formed by SST pool boy, and Black Flag crony, Mugger.

Brainbombs-Genius and Brutality,Taste and Power
Finally, it's getting cold. There must be something wrong with me because winter is the only time I actually feel like a human being. Fall used to be the preferred season, but I've had my heart broken too many times and and just too bitter to appreciate it the way I did in my youth. So I'll take the winter. And it makes sense. I am from Chicago. And to go along with these up coming cold months what could possibly be better than a little Brainbombs? Throbbing, minimal, repetitive face punches. Even those who don't really like heavy music can find charm with. They've been around since the mid-80s and people still don't care. That kinda reminds me of a group of au pairs from Norway & Sweden I used to hang out with. At one point one of the girls ask me what do Americans think of Sweden. I replied that we don't and that hurt her feelings.

I can either write the diatribe on why this is the most underrated band of all time or I can just write some pithy, trite post....I'll opt for the pithy post as I two fingers with numb fingertips. My pal Rich describes this band's sound as "chopping wood." Listen to the opening track and I think you'll get what he means. Elsewhere I've already proclaimed my love for all creations by Daniel Higgs, and this is just one more product that I fetishize. Really, can this man do anything wrong? Give him a MacArthur or something.

It's a rare thing nowadays that I get high anymore. I'm too old and too cheap. Kids would probably think I'm a narc if I even did want to buy anything. I'm no spring chicken anymore. So that being said, there's something about this cover that just induces flashbacks of bygone days of being completely fucked up. Maybe in my golden years I'll pick up a habit and just nod out in my converted barn/record listening retreat. Until then, I'll be content with albums like this. Classic Japanese psych rock from a guy who's well traveled in that circuit. So if that be your thing, then listen.

Jaime Brockett-II
This is one of those albums I salvaged from the dollar bin many years ago. The faded out cover had a mysterious quality that begged to be listed to. Checking the instrumentation I noticed the dulcimer is featured on several tracks. And who doesn't like a good dulcimer tune. And while it had all these positive attributes, I was still skeptical. So I was pleased to find that this is actually a great folk record. Well worth the dollar spent (though I seem to remember one of my friends at the record shop just giving it to me). So save yourself a buck and download it here. Being a lazy sod, I somehow fucked up the track listings when I ripped this and have yet to change it. No need to comment on that.

Anchiskhati Choir-Polyphonic Voices of Georgia
How does that saying go about bringing a samovar to Tbilisi? I'm guess these chaps would know as that happens to be the base of their operations. The sound here is large as the former U.S.S.R., but check some clips of these guys and they can be see just sitting around in a crescent. I like that attitude. Keeping it casual is definitely the way to go. And I won't even get going on the sweet beards. Caution: there's a 93% chance that you will fall into a trance when listening to this.

Dare I even attempt to describe what it is that Caroliner does? I have serious doubts that anyone can succinctly sum up what it is that they are actually doing. Ok, I took a moment to think about what to say about them and I realized I've got nothing. I can tell you that if you own their records be careful as to how you store them. The concrete and dustbin remnants that slathered my copy of "I'm Armed with Quarts of Blood" have scratched several sleeves in my collection. That's about all I'm going to say. They're better being more mysterious anyways so just down load it.

The Boneless Ones-Skate for the Devil
Even had I never have heard this, the title alone would have endeared it to my heart. Combining my love of skating and Satan is always a winning move. Yesterday, it was unseasonably warm in these parts and I was so tempted to pick up my deck and see if my old man bones wouldn't just shatter. But turkey, beer, and laziness won out. Had I decided to be anything more that a lazy sod, this would have been my soundtrack.

Killing Joke-Revelations
After that Effigies post, I was quickly reminded just how influential this band is and how no one seems to ever talk about them. Pity really, since I find their dark, post-punk, proto-industrial metal sounds too be quite inspiring and quite unlike anything of the time. It seems like every band in the world has covered these guys at some point, yet I almost never hear their name mentioned. How did that happen? And before all the hipsters were digging up the old psych records, they headed down to record with Conny Plank. The even retreated to Iceland, a la The Fall, and that's a move I can respect.

Cardiacs-Archive Cardiacs
And this is my gift to everyone else since the Cardiacs seem to be much more well loved than I would have ever imaged. To my surprise, my last post on them is one of the most downloaded albums from this site. I never would have guess that so many enjoy this bizarro, spasmodic pop. But good for you. Nice to know that people are interested in things beyond whatever pitchfork's flavor of the week is. I don't even know what that flavor is any more. Clear maybe. Anyways, enjoy the holiday.

Corrupted-Se Hace Los Suenos Aseinos
Some seriously heavy and lumbering shit. Not too surprising that it's from Japan, right. I mean, there's already a precedent for that. Sung in Spanish though. Vuh? Not sure how that came to be. Not really to interested in doing that quick google search to find the answer because it really doesn't matter. Regardless of their motives, the decision pays off. I think this one might be a Thanksgiving hit to play as your family gathers around the fire and plays Jenga. Rumor has it that this band has a big granny following., and you know those Q-Tip heads are real fans.

Abruptum-Orchestra of Dark
The gifts keep coming. And this one is for Ryan since I knows he loves metal and he also loves midgets (or is that just gnomes?). Either way, you gotta admit that a midget is a welcomed addition to any metal band. Just ask Accept or any of the bands Dio fronted. Sorry about the crap image buddy. This tape clearly isn't all that popular.

The Effigies-Remains Nonviewable & For Ever Grounded
Since I'm still in the giving mood, this one if for the readers back in Illinois. I can go on and on about Chicago punk music (though it was a relatively small scene), but I won't. It's either something you like or you don't. I never quite understood how many of these bands sounded very mid-west, yet seem to have been strongly influenced by British post-punk. Kin of a weird combo, but it works for me. So Remains Nonviewable collects their early e.p.s and even some of For Ever Grounded. But since they (who knows why) decided to only include a portion of it, I figured I should just post the whole thing. See, I can be nice at times.

Woody Allen-Standup Comic
Nothing like days like this to make you feel more isolated and distant from those you care about. So let's have a laugh or something. One thing I like to do is listen to stand up albums when I walk around town, though I am well aware that I must look like a psycho to passersby. I suppose seeing someone who looks like me laughing to himself might seem pretty suspicious, but who cares. The opinions of the locals was something that never really concerned me anyways. So where ever you live I suggest downloading this and conducting your own experiments. See how many people will point at you, or sneer, or flick you off. Matt, not sure if you have this already (I think you might), if not then grab it.

Black Flag-The Process of Weeding Out Live: 2/8/85
Time to make good on a threat I made some time back. Now, I don't want to hear any cry baby "Oh, they used to be better but then they became hippies," bullshit. Fuck that. They simply ruled in every phase. People like to sneer and point fingers at the e.p. on which this is based. Fuck those dunces. This shit clearly demonstrates the Greg Ginn was a supreme guitar god capable of playing any shit Sonny Sharrock would conjure up. If people are still sore that they grew their hair out and started to smoke pot, then it's time for those babies to grow up. That was 25 years ago, you dolt.

Reader Majes's comment on my posting of Rudi P's EP's made me want to go back to that series of posting all of their material that I started oh so long ago. So here's one more to add to the collection. Some day you'll eventually get them all. But you better be good children.

Todd Rundgren-A Wizard, A True Star
A while back I mentioned how I was excited to see some of Ol' Todd's belongings in the rock & roll hall of fame. And I was sincere about that, even though a few of you called bull shit. So to those people, might I present you with this? I love the Nazz, but this has got to be his finest work. It's a really odd album throughout. Too bad his record company were dicks about the pressing and fucked it up.

It surprising that I'm seeing such weird things about town considering all the featherhead students have sojourned home to be coddled by their parents. But it's true. Par example, I spotted a broken cricket paddle one night we walking down to the local. I assume some frattish berk finally tired of smacking pledges asses with it. Then, moments later I saw a payphone. That's pretty strange these days but what makes it even more bizarre was that it was actually in use. Like those things, this album kinda makes me feel weird, but in a good way. You like Steely Dan? I'm guessing Azita does as there's some serious jazz influence piano driven smooth rock going on (all played by all the Chicago scenesters). If you know her from all her now wave stuff you'll probably think you've been medicined when you hear this.

This blog is going to document our family adventures mostly focusing around our children. Right now we have a toddler who is 3 we will call G. We also have one on the way, K. In my other blog I focus primarily on my fiance's pregnancy with K, so here we will focus on the adventures we have with G, and they are plentiful! I have decided that at least once a day G and I will be doing some kind of craft or activity that pulls us both away from technology and has us using our hands. We started this two days ago (I have tried a few times to get this blog up and running but the photos won't seem to load.) and so far we have had a blast!
On day one we took various different textured and shaped objects and decided to paint with them to see the outcomes. G had a blast!
On the second day I built him a rubber band board out of nails and a piece of wood. It took him a little while to grasp the concept but once he understood he didn't want to stop! We squares and triangles and straight lines and he even started to strum on a few of the bands like a guitar!
After he grew tired of the band board we decided to try something that required little supervision so I would be able to get some cleaning done. Our house has quite a few chalk board surfaces in it, a couple walls, a door, an easle with a chalk board on one side and a table with a chalk board top, so I gave G a paint brush a bowl of water, showed him which surfaces to use and let him go to town painting with water!
I am going to make another blog post about what we did yesterday and today because I don't want to jam too much into one post! Thank you for reading!

You're going to LOVE this!
Oh yes! We've hit the terrible two's! It's so thrilling listening to my child screaming and damaging my eardrums beyond repair. Betcha anything when I'm old and gray I'll have the biggest pair of hearing aids. I personally would like to thank Henry for the future deafness. Good thing kids are so adorable otherwise orphanages would be bursting with children.

Rainbow charm swap
A few days ago I signed up for another charm swap. This time round it is a rainbow swap which is great as I do love a nice bit of colour.
Colours have already been assigned and I'm in the green group. Hmmmm. I like green but it isn't a colour that I would readily choose when picking fabrics. I'm usually drawn to reds, pinks and purples but I knew what print I wanted straight away.
Sew Stitchy pins in Olive!
It took me about 5 mins to get ordered and paid for after reading the email. Of course I had to order just a bit more than the 2 yards that I need for the swap. Oh and a bit more fabric might have happened to fall into my basket as well....just to make those shipping costs worthwhile....honest.
Once it arrives I have to slice it into 5" squares and post it off to Cindy and then await a rainbow of charms in return.

New information tells women that they don't need to have their first mammogram until the age of 50. Hearing this, most women are shocked, especially with the advice that doctors should stop telling women to do self-breast exams regularly. Of course, the United States Preventive Services Task Force still encouraged that if there is a family history of breast cancer, one should get tested before age 50.
The tone of this New York Times article was of shock, deceit, and a little anger. Women in three or four different states were questioned about how this new development makes them feel. The majority of the answers focused on the unnecessary anxiety that they had to experience having had mammograms throughout the years. One woman believed that this new advice had more to do with financial advantages gained through less insurance coverage. The question becomes: if there was never a great risk, why are there always so many awareness methods: pamphlets, brochures, and magazine spreads done for so many years?

Do you want the tracking to increase AFTER the text types on? If so, it's easy: Use the Typewriter animation preset to get the text on, then highlight the text layer, go to the Character panel to adjust tracking, and keyframe the tracking as you would any other property.

Hey Roei, that worked. I'm not sure why mine was moving the way it did but your set up seems to have fixed the problem. I'm not sure why mine was moving the letter like that but I did try to recreate the text several times but couldn't not get the results I wanted like yours. Maybe it has something to do with creating the spread tracking on a second animator. Thanks for the help.
5. Re: Text Tracking errorRoei Tzoref Dec 7, 2016 4:04 PM (in response to alphaae)
Sure thing Buddy. Second animator is probably it because you need a new range selector to include all the letters.

The deal, which will make Rio the world's largest mining company worth pounds 70bn, is the latest in a series of colossal mergers in the industry.
The value of deals struck so far this year has hit $139bn, according to research firm Dealogic, and could easily top last year's $220.5bn as analysts speculate over further mega mergers.

Austin DWI Lawyers
The Powerful Representation You Need
DWI defense counsel is a primary focus of our practice. The consequences of a conviction for drunk driving can be serious, including jail time, fines, license suspension, increased insurance costs, and more. Our Austin DWI attorneys are here to protect your rights, your freedom, and your driver's license.
Time is of The Essence After a DUI Arrest
A colorful and vibrant city, Austin is a wonderful place to live, work, and visit. With its restaurants, bars, and nightlife, it is also a primary focus for DWI enforcement. Areas like 6th Street are heavily policed, and this can lead to police stops and arrests for suspected drunk driving.
Please note that you have only 15 days from the date of your arrest to request an administrative hearing regarding your driver's license. Your license will be automatically suspended if you do not request this hearing!
Representing Drivers Facing DWI Charges in Austin, TX
Smith & Vinson Law Firm fights for the rights of drivers across the Austin area who have been arrested for DWI. Remember, the police may only need probable cause to arrest you for DWI, but the prosecutor will need to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in order to secure a conviction. Our Austin DWI lawyers can build a strong defense against even the most seemingly "open-and-shut" case, challenging evidence and the arresting officer's testimony to protect your interests.
We may be able to weaken the prosecuting attorney's case by:
- Questioning the administration and grading of field sobriety tests.
- Challenging the reliability of a breath test or blood test.
- Challenging the validity of the initial police stop.
- Uncovering a violation of your constitutional rights.
A former prosecutor, Jarrod Smith understands how the "other side" thinks. He and Brad Vinson use their skill and understanding of the technical aspects of DWI cases to assert and defend our clients' rights every step of the way.
Contact our firm at (512) 359-3743 for the powerful DWI defense counsel you need.

Very unique and innovative blocks, based on the concept of traditional building blocks, but even more interesting and fun to play with. It will helps your kids to master the skills that lay stronger foundation for a long time learning in all subjects, especially science and maths.
My daughter, who is just 4, is head-over-heels in love with this magnetic block set. Before it's arrival, she used to spend hours playing games or watching videos on iPad, but now she is so engaged with these blocks that she has hardly time to open her iPad, which is great! The blocks are so attractive with blight colors. Kids like them even more as, in comparison to the traditional blocks, these offer a nice change and who doesn't like change?? huunnnn!
The first question that popped into my head when these arrive was "Are they safe for kids?". Well, I was pleased to read they they are! Made of food grade plastic they are totally safe for kids. Even if they end up putting it in mouth no harm will come to them. The ARC Edge design ensures that kids doesn't hurt themselves while playing with them.
The blocks come in a professionally packed box which is easy to open, hence the packaging is kids friendly. In a set there are 46 pieces: 14 triangle, 20 square, 4 hexagon, 6 number blocks, and 2 wheels. The magnets are very strong and will stick firmly to hold whatever structure your child build with them. Along with it, you also get a 28 page colourful instruction booklet that serves as a guide to help your kids understand how to use the blocks to construct, basic shapes, as well as more complicated 2D and 3D model. Now, remember to buy 2 sets instead of one, if you have a older child who would basically like to focus on 3D construction.
My verdict: I cannot recommend DBPower magnetic blocks enough! These blocks are a great way to lay stronger foundation for future learning. It will also help with spatial and mathematical thinking skills. For younger kids, it will help with shape and color recognition. You would love when your kid would think creatively and put all the imagination to build all sorts or shapes. I almost feel as if all my daughter idea come to life with these magnetic block set!
