There was a half-assumption that artists could (and should) produce
themselves. Sales, and the bottom line, took second place to artistic integrity.
The company was a sort of hippie hangover that was great to be a part of.
Trouble was, as artists we really were given more freedom than was good for us.
Most record companies issue sampler albums at the earliest possible
opportunity to promote sales. Not Dandelion.
Dandelion put out its one and only sampler, "There Is Some Fun Going Forward",
as its very last release in 1972.
That was a little sad for me, because "... Fun Going Forward" contained the one
track that I released with them as John Trevor, namely "Sky Dance".
But let's step back.
John Peel who, with Clive Selwood, was my joint-benefactor at Dandelion, put it
to me that maybe a name change might help to define the new, harder edge. It
seemed like a good idea at the time. So, we took my full name - Christopher John Trevor
Midgley - selected the middle two, and agreed that for all future releases I
would be "John Trevor".
Publicity pics were taken - check out the very rare Polydor/Dandelion poster featured in Clive Selwood's 2003 book "All The Moves (but none of the licks)" (Peter Owen) - and the first song was put out: "Sky Dance" by John Trevor (backed again by The
Way We Live, now themselves re-incarnated as "Tractor").
Like to hear a sample? Well, this is "The Smoke Of Eden"; fairly typical of many of the songs on the "lost" third album.
(Useful footnote: a full-frequency version of "Eden" has now been released twice, confusingly under the old "Beau" name, on Angel Air's 2009 CD, "Edge Of The Dark" and also as a "bonus track" on Guerssen/Sommor's 2015 vinyl re-release of "Creation".)
Now, where were we? Oh yes - around this time, I was getting very deeply into Stockhausen, Lukas Foss, and
particularly Bela Bartok. Add in Kurt Weill and a German avant-garde rock band
called Faust, and you'll get an idea of the diverse range of influences that
were filling John T's musical horizons.
Although the day job was taking up more and more of my time, the number of
songs I was turning out went up by leaps and bounds after Dandelion folded.
And so many were - weird! Like "Rats". And a ten-minute,
thirteen-verse epic called "Why Do You Laugh?". And "Chilli Powder". Some however
did still cling on to the old "folk" styling.
Eyam (rhymes with "dream") is the plague village of North Derbyshire. Its
story dates from the mid-17th century when the bubonic plague took hold there.
In an heroic act of self-sacrifice, the villagers sealed-off the hamlet to make
sure the disease couldn't spread to the surrounding areas. Ninety-per-cent of
them died (over three hundred), and many of the graves are still there for all
to see on a hillside above the town.
Shortly after I wrote this song, San and I went to live in Dronfield, North
Derbyshire, and I started doing the rounds of some local folk clubs as John
Trevor. Amongst the songs I sang was "Roses Of Eyam", and amongst the people who
heard it was one of the UK's finest folk music interpreters, Roy
Bailey. Roy asked if he could use the song, and of course I said yes.
Now, forty years on, Roy has sung "Roses Of Eyam" on every continent.
He included it on his 1985 album "Hard Times", and re-released it in 1998 on the
Masters" CD (Fuse CFCD 403). It's a recording I'm particularly proud of
(even though most people who know it will tell you that "Roses Of Eyam" is a Roy
Bailey song!).
I myself never got round to releasing "Eyam" until 2007, when a 2000 version appeared as a bonus track on Cherry Red's re-release of "Beau". In 2013, my original 1975 take eventually surfaced on Salvation Records' "Twelve Strings to the Beau" vinyl album.
IN MANY WAYS, Dandelion was the
antidote to record labels.
THE YEAR BEFORE, Beau had released an
album called "Creation", backed on several tracks by a Rochdale outfit called The
Way We Live. The feel of this set had been markedly less "folky" than the
first "Beau" record in 1969; and the songs which were being considered for the
third album were taking us further down the same road.
WHEN DANDELION'S SHUTTER CAME DOWN in 1972, I was left with one
complete unreleased album, which we had tentatively called "High Mass", and a
thousand ideas for new material.
ON FEBRUARY 16th & 17th 1975, I put down a new set of fifteen
songs at Tractor's
studio in Heywood, Lancashire. Amongst these was a ballad called "The Roses Of
SOME FINE WORK came out of the John Trevor period. Much
was experimental and will never see light of day.
It wasn't surprising that John Trevor rather faded into the background when
Beau re-emerged in
1994. There was a brief flurry in 1995 when See For Miles Records put out JT's
"Sky Dance" on their "There Is Some Fun Going Forward ... plus" re-issue (SEECCD427). But that was it - until of course Airmail Recordings in Japan reissued the track as a bonus on their domestic re-release of Beau's "Creation". Gets confusing, doesn't it?
Old folkies, however, have long memories. If you listened in to the John
Trevor Radio Sheffield broadcasts in the late '70s, or were a regular on the
South Yorkshire/North Derbyshire folk scene at the time, do send me a big

Kerry King (SLAYER), Dave Lombardo (SLAYER), Gary Holt (EXODUS, SLAYER), Robert Trujillo (METALLICA), Shavo Odadjian (SYSTEM OF A DOWN), Robb Flynn (MACHINE HEAD), Paul Bostaph (SLAYER, TESTAMENT, EXODUS), Chuck Billy (TESTAMENT) and John Tempesta (THE CULT, EXODUS, TESTAMENT) are among the musicians who attended the public memorial celebration for SLAYER's late guitarist Jeff Hanneman, which was held yesterday afternoon (Thursday, May 23) at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, California.
High-quality photos of the event from photographer Stephanie Cabral can be found at this location. Fan-filmed video footage is available below. A full report, including photos from Stephanie Cabral, has been posted at the web site of U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine. Members of SLAYER released a statement on May 9 saying that Hanneman died of alcohol-related cirrhosis. He is credited for writing many of the band's classic songs, including "Angel Of Death" and "South Of Heaven". The guitarist, who passed away in Los Angeles on May 2, had actually not been playing with SLAYER for more than two years since he contracted necrotizing fasciitis, also known as flesh-eating disease, from a spider bite in his backyard in January 2011. The infection ravaged the flesh and tissues of Hanneman's arm, leading to numerous surgeries, skin grafts and intense periods of rehab that forced him into semi-retirement and left him near death at several points. Hanneman's last appearance with SLAYER was in April 2011, when he played an encore with the band at the "Big Four" concert in Indio, California. Hanneman recalled in a 2011 interview with Classic Rock magazine that he initially didn't even feel the spider bite, adding, "But an hour later, I knew that I was ill. I could see the flesh corrupting. The arm was real hot. I got to the emergency room, and thank god the nurse knew straight away what it was . . . At that point, I was an hour away from death." Hanneman was well known for his aversion to the spotlight, avoiding interviews and even turning off his phone when he was not on tour to spend time with his family. He is survived by his wife Kathy, his sister Kathy and his brothers Michael and Larry. SLAYER was founded in 1981 in Los Angeles and went on to become one of most popular bands of the speed/thrash metal movement, eventually being considered one of the "Big Four" alongside METALLICA, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX. While never a band that got any substantial radio airplay, the group has long been considered a major influence on the metal genre and acclaimed as one of the best live metal acts of the past 30 years. SLAYER guitarist Kerry King received a huge ovation from the crowd at the Revolver Golden Gods awards show on May 2 at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, where he said that Hanneman would have wanted "noise" rather than a moment of silence and then drank two shots in his bandmate's honor. King and SLAYER basist/vocalist Tom Araya confirmed that their summer European dates will go on as planned, starting June 4 at the Impact Festival in Poland and running through mid-August. In a statement, the two said that, "We know that our fans everywhere are hurting for the loss of Jeff just as we are. We want to let you all know that when we come to Europe this summer in June, July and August we'll ALL be making noise together for our brother and dear friend Jeff...We'll see you then!" King and Araya also released their own statements in tribute to Hanneman. Kerry: "I had so many great times with Jeff... In the early days when we were out on the road, he and I were the night owls, we would stay up all night on the bus, just hanging out, talking, watching movies... World War II movies, horror movies, we watched 'Full Metal Jacket' so many times, we could practically recite all of the dialogue." Tom: "When we first formed SLAYER, we used to rehearse all the time, religiously, 24/7. Jeff and I spent a lot of time hanging out together, he lived in my father's garage which was also our rehearsal space. When he got his own apartment, he had an 8-track and I would go there to record songs I'd written, not SLAYER songs, other stuff I'd written. At a certain point, you still have the band but you start your own lives outside of the band, so that 24/7 falls to the side, you don't spend as much time together as you once did. I miss those early days." Kerry: "He was a gigantic World War II buff. His father served in that war, so when SLAYER played Russia for the first time — I think it was 1998 — Jeff and I went to one of Moscow's military museums. I'll never forget him walking around that place, looking at all of the tanks, weapons and other exhibits. He was like a kid on Christmas morning. But that was Jeff's thing, he knew so much about WW II history, he could have taught it in school." Tom: "We were in New York recording 'South Of Heaven'. Jeff and I were at the hotel and we had to get to the studio — I think it was called Chung King, a real rundown place. So we left the hotel and decided to walk, but then it started raining. We walked maybe five blocks, and it was raining so hard, we were totally soaked, so we decided to get a cab. Here we are, two dudes with long hair and leather jackets, absolutely soaked, thumbing to the studio. No one would stop. We had to walk the entire way." SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo sat out the band's recent Australian tour due to a contract dispute with the other members of the group. Filling in for him was Jon Dette (TESTAMENT, ANTHRAX).SLAYER's JEFF HANNEMAN: Video Footage, Photos Of Public Memorial Celebration

More about Albert Freeman
Caroline Cargo, an art dealer in Pennsylvania, was kind enough to send additional information about efforts to learn more about the artist Albert Freeman, who lived in Lowell, Mass. Her father, Robert Cargo, acquired Freeman's work from a dealer when Cargo operated a folk art gallery in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Here's part of Caroline's message:
"The dealers were the Elliotts (Elliott and Elliott), and my dad knew them through the Heart of Country antiques show in Nashville. I believe they moved to Michigan some time after he had originally been in contact with them, and he did correspond with them after their move.

Does God tweet?
That was a question posed this week on the Washington Post's On Faith blog. Here are some of the responses from experts quoted on the blog:
"No, God does not tweet nor does God have time to listen to almost 7 billion people insincerely pleading for mercy."
"Jesus spoke in tweets before tweets became cool, if by tweets one means short messages."
"There is nothing really offensive about the idea of getting short and snappy messages from the Divine."
"The question is not really whether God tweets, but are we capable of tweeting anything sacred, purposeful or meaningful."
On a walk the other day I happened to see God standing outside a garage door. I could have settled the matter once and for all, but I was too scared to approach.
Metal-clad buildings
I'm grateful for every metal-clad residential building I see in Atlanta. Developer focus groups apparently show that traditional sells because that is mostly what is offered. A metal-clad building tells me the developer is willing to take more of a risk and embrace the modern. I like that. It should be done more. Adhering to styles that were created generations ago is boring. Traditional style is faux old and faux anything shows lack of imagination. The building pictured here is a condo complex on Memorial Drive in intown Atlanta. The second photo shows an unconventional window in one of the units. I think I see a bean grinder and a toaster in there.

"First they took off my legs and threw them over there"
The Scarecrow in "The Wizard of Oz" was torn apart by flying monkeys, thugs working with the Wicked Witch of the West, but still managed to speak coherently. The movie, one of my favorites, opened this month in 1939. A young Judy Garland sang the beautiful "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." The maker of the concrete flying monkey pictured here also apparently loved the film.

Want to know more
Albert Freeman produced some terrific naive paintings from the 1930s to the 1950s, but hardly anything is known about him. He lived in Lowell, Mass., where he may have worked at a dress-making shop, according to Caroline Cargo, an art dealer in Pennsylvania. Cargo's father, Robert Cargo, purchased a large number of Freeman's drawings from an Illinois dealer when Cargo had a gallery in Tuscaloosa, Ala. A Freeman painting of a lion belonging to Cargo appears in the book "Animals in American Folk Art." In October 1989, two carvings done by Freeman were auctioned at Sotheby's as part of the sale of the American Folk Art Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Robert P. Marcus. Just enough is known about Freeman to make me want to know more.

The appeal of the strange
I love artwork that has an aura of mystery. The script on the Christ drawing is indecipherable. The bizarre standing figure, with arms of bundled wire, is downright frightening. And the painting from the 1920s has a puzzling title: "Beyond the Veil No. 1." I suppose it is someone's depiction of the afterlife.

I could care less about cars or old glass per se, but combine the two and you might get my motor running. These are Tiolene Motor Oil bottles, ca. 1920s. At 18 inches high and less than 3 inches in diameter, the thick-glass vessels are severely vertical, and that unusual shape makes them quite attractive. Tiolene was sold by the Pure Gasoline Co. I don't see how today's uninspired plastic motor oil bottles will be collectible years from now, but who knows?

On the popular TV series Glee, Kurt Hummel is an openly gay high school student whose dad is learning to deal with his homosexuality. How would you handle having a teen who's gay?
"The most important thing parents of gay children can do is let the children know their sexuality is accepted by family," says Robert Black, 19, a gay college student who would have welcomed a show like Glee to open up a dialogue with his parents. "I wish my parents had done things differently to make my coming out to them easier," reveals Black.
Accepting your child and educating yourself about homosexuality are important first steps. "Sexual interest is not a choice. It is a biological and hormonal drive," says psychologist William Allenbaugh, who became involved with gay, lesbian and transgender issues when families referred their children to him to "cure their gayness."
Your child hasn't changed, but you may begin to see him/her differently. "Most parents go through a grieving process — shock, anger, grief... and hopefully, acceptance," says Allenbaugh.
"Parents in this situation need support and education," adds Dr. Frank J. Sileo, executive director for The Center for Psychological Enhancement. "Having a homosexual child can be confusing and overwhelming."
Every child — regardless of sexuality — should be able to talk to a caring parent about sex, intimacy, relationships and boundaries. "Do your research," says Black. "If you don't understand something, you can't explain it to your child."
"If you're freaking out about gay sex, that's your issue and not your child's." says Dr. Sileo, who specializes in working with the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community. So educate yourself.
Dr. Sileo encourages families to reach out to national organizations such as PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) and regional Pride Centers, as they are excellent resources for parents.
Allenbaugh agrees and also recommends Goofyfoot Press, which provides links for gay youth. "These resources help the child feel normal and accepted," just as every teen wants to feel, says Allenbaugh.
"Talk to your gay child as you would your straight child," advises Allenbaugh. Don't "shy away" from the sensitive topic of sex.
"Set the same limits regarding having sex, and set the same boundaries around relationships that you would with heterosexual children," adds Dr. Sileo. When our children — gay or straight — trust us enough to talk about sex, we have opportunities to help keep them safe.
And talking openly educates parents as well, Dr. Sileo says. "When you take an interest in their new discovery, they are more likely to continue to share with you."
While your teen explores his/her sexuality, be supportive, reserve judgment and listen. A gay teen will likely face prejudice and biases. Make sure those things don't start with you.
"You may be unsure of your child's sexuality, and your child may be unsure as well," says clinical psychologist and teen expert Dr. John Duffy. "The best you can do is talk to your kids about sex and sexuality, and make homosexuality a part of that discussion."
And keep that discussion open and ongoing. "Glee, for example, provides opportunities to talk about sex," says Dr. Duffy. "Listen in a non-judgmental way to what your child has to say." Position yourself to be that consultant and confidante your child can come to with questions about sex and sexuality.
Whatever your child's sexuality, stay involved. "If children know parents are truly interested in this aspect of their lives, it opens the door for continued communication and trust," says Allenbaugh. "Parents should not be judgmental. They should be good listeners who offer choices and provide information to assist the child in gaining knowledge."

A myc tag is a polypeptide protein tag derived from the c-myc gene product that can be added to a protein using recombinant DNA technology. It can be used for affinity chromatography, then used to separate recombinant, overexpressed protein from wild type protein expressed by the host organism. It can also be used in the isolation of protein complexes with multiple subunits.
A myc tag can be used in many different assays that require recognition by an antibody. If there is no antibody against the studied protein, adding a myc-tag allows one to follow the protein with an antibody against the Myc epitope. Examples are cellular localization studies by immunofluorescence or detection by Western blotting.
The peptide sequence of the myc-tag is: N-EQKLISEEDL-C (1202 Da). It can be fused to the C-terminus and the N-terminus of a protein. It is advisable not to fuse the tag directly behind the signal peptide of a secretory protein, since it can interfere with translocation into the secretory pathway.

Casein kinase II subunit alpha, also known as CK II alpha, CSNK2A1 and CK2A1, is a member of the protein kinase superfamily, Ser / Thr protein kinase family and CK2 subfamily. Casein kinase II (CSNK2A1) is a serine / threonine protein kinase that phosphorylates acidic proteins such as casein. This kinase is composed of an alpha, an alpha-prime, and two beta subunits. The alpha subunits contain the catalytic activity while the beta subunits undergo autophosphorylation. Casein kinase II (CSNK2A1) is a constitutively active, ubiquitously expressed serine / threonine protein kinase that is thought to have a regulatory function in cell proliferation, cell differentiation and apoptosis. CSNK2A1 functions as a tetrameric complex consisting of two regulatory beta-subunits and two catalytic units (alpha and alpha') in a homomeric or heteromeric conformation. Whilst the alpha- and alpha'-subunits are catalytically identical, proteins that regulate CSNK2A1, such as cdc2 and Hsp90, preferentially bind to the alpha and not the alpha'-subunit. CSNK2A1 can phosphorylate a number of key intracellular signaling proteins implicated in tumor suppression (p53 and PTEN) and tumorigenesis (myc, jun, NF-kappaB). CSNK2A1 is also thought to influence Wnt signaling via beta-catenin phosphorylation and the PI 3-K signaling pathway via th phosphorylation of Akt.

Kanye West Rants in London: Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie," The GRAMMYs and President Obama
Posted by Mr.North under Concerts , Quotes[59] Comments
Another day, another rant. Kanye West kicked off the first of back-to-back shows at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, England on Saturday night. After performing his Cruel Summer single "Clique," the soon-to-be-father used the moment to get some things off his chest.
For his first rant of 2013, Kanye spoke on the corporate world/industry, Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie" single ("I got love for Hov, but I ain't f**king with that Suit & Tie"), President Barack Obama ("I don't give a f**k what the president got to say") and his favorite topic, The GRAMMYs ("Remind me again the grammys can suck my d**k" + "I've never won a Grammy against a white person"). Will we hear another rant during his second show?
UPDATE: Kanye's second rant where he talks about Taylor Swift has been added.

February 23rd, 2013 at 8:56 pmI get it, he wants to keep it real. But does it have to happen on stage every time? Someone needs to take a break for a while. Before they lose their sh*t. Also, why is it when every rapper travels to the UK they have to say something negative about their partners in the US. For example, The Game and Young Buck travel to the UK and later turn on 50.

February 24th, 2013 at 12:07 amKanye West is an artist. Justin Timberlake is a copycat created by corporations. JT is helped by other "popluar" acts (like Jayz & Beyonce) so at the end of the day theyl all get checks Clearly they stopped caring about art a long time ago.( which is probably what KW is referring to) No one serious about music believes in that whining JT calls singing.

February 24th, 2013 at 1:58 amKanye is the definition of the word MITCH. Always mitching about something. It sounds to me that he's just butt hurt that Jay-Z is hanging out with and about to go on tour with Justin instead of him. As long as this song has been out he decides now that the tour dates have been announced to say something. He really needs to stop being so feminine and if he wants to continue acting this way, just do us all a favor and pull a Frank Ocean and come out already.
He's mad that Jay & Bey are getting along with Justin and his ball & chain better than him & Kim.
serika Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 2:08 amKanye is one of the most materialistic rappers out here. Fuck corporations, why because you suck at building a brand? He has his own record company, he tried to have a clothing line but he is not a businessman. If he doesn't want to kiss corporations asses then just pay for your own tour and album out of pocket. How can he even say rappers out here talking about fucking other men's girl when he is rapping about and has another man's wife pregnant. He is jealous Hov is touring with JT and is counting on his pretentious fans to call his dumb ass a genius.
sean Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 2:14 amwell guess we know who won't be a surprise guest o the Jay-z and JT tour lol
hmm i wonder if this will effect WTT2
Chunky Fre$h Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 2:43 amwhoooooa now listen I'm huge Ye fan but even I can't look past certain things. Remember when he referred to him and Justin Timberlake as the modern day prince and MJ. as a fan I got to the point where I had to stop making excuses for him.His a fucking asshole who is miserable and its really sad cause he has all that talent but spreads more negative energy than his ever had. I hate to say it but when the smoke clears people are going to forget all his dope ass work and jus label him as the Music's world biggest dickhead. SMH never thought my man was going go out like that but its looking really hopeless
sean Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 8:01 amand kanye has never gotten help from popular artist like jay-z bey, cold play ?
man kanye sell his nike for 1000's and his not corporation
kareem Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 9:50 amI don't think he was dissing "suit and tie" the song. if you noticed, he mentioned "business men" a bunch of times before. hov is obviously a business man. business men wear suit and ties. hov raps on a song called "suit and tie". and he says i got love for hov. i think this moreso a criticism of big business in music and kanye being the pop culturlist that he is, found a way to tie it into to something that's buzzing right now.
The Third Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 10:07 amNo I really get its. See he understands as a man in entertainment that the fans dont only blow his way because of his musical command, and since the invention of media him venting translates to any attention is good attention, so some say stop bitchin but dont you get the residual, now youre up here critiquing him being critical, now show me a star that the only rays they emitted was their music, and Ill show Chaka supernova'd but what the hell happened to Rufus. cause the big picture is, fandom is 20% music the rest is the glam and the glitter, the behind the musics that paint a bigger picture, which makes negative relative so keep hating on the ni&&@, cause you spitting bitters really serves his purpose, and your opinion has reached no one does that render it worthless?
Sommer Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 10:11 amJT was successful way before Kanye West so that's bullshit! He was in a successful boy band who was out during the New Edition days. He can put on one hell of a show. He has a lot of soul so he didn't copycat anything. Sorry!
Kanye is being a jealous bitch! FUCK his opinions when he go and fuck up his brand by being with the biggest WHORE in the industry!!! NOBODY else is messing up their brand for him. He's is on the decline and not focused (fucking around with Kim K) and it seems, he's very JEALOUS!!! "AIN'T nobody got time for that."
Rhyme & Reason Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 10:11 amThe Fact is Kanye shit been Wack lately the only thing he been talkin bout is his scuzbucket babymama Kim. It stop being art a good while ago.
Ade Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 10:45 amJustin Timberlake is a copycat artist? Smh. Please kill yourself.
yoprince Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 11:37 amthank you.
"business men," "corporations," "suit and tie"
chill people. it had nothing to do with dissing JT or that song.
The Third Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 11:41 amSommer have your opinion but get your facts straight. New Edition has been around since 1983. Theyre celebrating 30yrs. Nsync is a replica of that. Please dont compare the 2. New Edition is the resurgence of the boy band giving birth to everyone from Jodeci and so. New Edition is a replica of the Jackson 5. The first boy band really with dance moves etc. Now everyone carry on with serving Kanyes agenda.

JFK Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 1:11 pmHe sucks at building a brand?? Uhh, Kanye has been the biggest brand in popular music for the better part of the last decade. Cats are putting out clothing lines and building their own brands based on the popularity that is the Kanye West machine. Not to mention Kanye singlehandedly saved rap from complete irrelevancy with his genre pushing greatness.
As for the topic at hand, I agree that "Suit And Tie" is weak but Ye's gotta do a better job at being concise with his points or just keeping these thoughts to himself in general.
….But then again, as long as he keeps delivering the amazing material he's been putting out over the last nine years, shit, he can rant about drones and how great Kevin Spacey is on "House Of Cards" is for all I care.
ErGo Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 1:38 pmI agree with another reader from above. I don't think the is talking about the JT song, per se, rather he is talking about being a businessman or business, man. E.g., the rant regarding the drink company (see Pepsi). It's no longer about making music but making money.
Rizzo Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 1:41 pmWhile he's hooked up with the biggest gold digger out there lol.
Jrmcuboulder Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 2:11 pmI agree. That was dope. I think "brave" also. Dude just lays it all out and bears his soul. I'm not saying he's right, but I loooooove the authenticity. He makes a great point. I hope people try to listen, even though he didn't deliver his message in a way that makes it so. Selling out. The corporations. Banks. Being enslaved to money. Those are things that should never take precedence over who we are. Business or someone's desire to make a profit should never cause them to not be true to their family, friends, fans, and the people around them. If someone does allow it, then you end up a slave on your knees-begging just as he was symbolically at the end of that.

February 24th, 2013 at 3:14 pmYe mightn't be the best dude to throw this kinda shade right now but the UK loves disses plus the hype with JT/Hov tour is getting sick on both sides of the Atlantic…JT getting extreme props not for his music but for what they think he might drop..As a collab tour the R_Kelly/Hov best of both worlds was the real deal – too bad it got heavy!!!
Shimit Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 3:27 pmI don't always like what he talks about, but I do like when he rants on stage. He just speaks his mind and tells his fans what he thinks, which is why fans like him, because he's not just doing his songs to get paid and leave.
BUT, as I said, I don't always like what he talks about, he CAN be a dick. -
Stash Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 4:59 pmDoes he not win grammys because he's black then? I thought it was because he's not as good as he thinks he is.
Word Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 5:24 pmI guess his finally waking up now. I think his realizing his brother Jay Z is all about money and will hang with Justin not him to make money. And he has been put the the side.
serika Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 6:34 pmIn what world are people copying the Kanye brand? NIgga please name Kanye's line, you can't becaause it doesn't exsist and his pretentious ass wants to be liked by white people to bad he didn't have the courage to put it out when Anna Wintour didn't praise it. He is against coporate america because they won't sponsor his tour but has sneakers and heels that cost hundreds of dollars. How are you speaking about being real and authentic with Kim Kardashian on your arm, preaching againist rappers talking about sleeping with other men's girls while your pregnant girlfriend is married to another man. Name on Kanye song where he doesnt mention some form of European oplulence. He is a sell out who has isolated because of his own bad decisions.

serika Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 6:49 pmWho cares if he does not win against white people? Does that lessen his win becuse they were black? Kanye and his inferiority complex he needs for white people to like and love him and they don't. And just stop with the he wasn't dissing Suit and Tie he meant corporations. JT and JZ are both businessmen and corporations who have recently made huge deals. He was talking about them. Kanye is not deep nothing to "decode" here

GTF OUTTA HERE, ITS YOUR FAULT ALL THESE MOFOS RUNNING AROUND WITH SKINNY JEANS, YOU CREATED THIS EMO HIP-HOP CULTURE AND IT AINT COOL, KEEP IT REAL, YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO MAKING SOME GOOD MUSIC AND QUIT WEARING DRESSES, THROWING RANTS AND ACTING LIKE A SORE LOOSER YOU BITCH ASS NIGUAH,..FUCK KANY WEST!!!!!!!
LUZ1OO Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 7:37 pmGoes on a white racist rant, yet yo baby mama is white = EPIC FAIL
frank Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 7:48 pmThe terms, "with all due respect" or " don't take it personal" are usually just excuses to speak your mind, therefore in my opinion, what Kanye said was a blatant diss…cc(I got love for Hov)
We all know corporations exploit hip-hop nontheless Kanye is one of the very few whom has made millions from the commercialisation of the genre. He has a boutique label, some kind of high end clothing line and has done business with the likes of Louis Vuitton, Nike etc
There is a difference between speaking your mind and being an absolute plonker
i.e Hurricane Katrina, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, MTV Europe, forgetting his verses at WTT concert and now this…he is a great producer and a decent rapper but he really needs to chill.

February 24th, 2013 at 10:57 pmkanye really needs to stop. he's a musical genius but it doesn't give him a pass to incessantly bitch about everything. he's a negative ass bitchin' dude. just focus on the music, DUDE!
Banko0o0o Says:
February 24th, 2013 at 11:20 pmInteresting thought….
Funny thing is they will be kissing again tomorrow so I'm not sure this is a big big deal… BUT the substance of what he's saying is coming from a real place of frustration… 'When did art become about making money and corporate sponsors?" thats a DIRECT DIG AT THE FAKENESS AND GREED OF ONE JAZZY.."Fuck the president" WOW!! I'm not sure how far Kanye will take this but there is something there… Maybe he's jealous because secretly he wants Beyonce and is stuck with second rate whore who knows..
Jay-Z aiint never showed no loyality TO ANYONE so its only natural that his protege turns on him and treats him the way he's treated everyone he had no more use for like Klien, DeHaven, Jaz-O, Sieg, Dame, etc etc etc etc.
Rove Says:
February 25th, 2013 at 12:32 amSo you're saying since society views her as white that equates her to being white and not a minority? So Brian Gumble is white?
dj uch Says:
February 25th, 2013 at 12:42 amKanye in concert rants are epic. Agree or not, they are entertaining. And that def was a Justin diss, not sure why he's salty though.

R4L_Paulo Says:
February 25th, 2013 at 10:57 amHahahahah @ karma I want some of that shit too!!! Like who wouldn't want half a billion dollars an executive suite at the Barclays centre a new born and a beautiful wife?????
What am I supposed to want? A bum ass life? Is that where true happiness is? HAhahahahahahahahah!!!!
your like the spokesman for BUMS!! Your on the internet on some feed the hungry shit for Klien, DeHaven, Jaz-O, Sieg, Dame, etc etc etc etc. What the fuck have they got to do with this shit in 2013??? I was like 10 years old when that beef started. Now i'm grown with my own money dreams and ambition, why are you or them still on Jay-Z dick? Beyonce got that on lock!!! So cut it out with that gay shit. Jay put a ring on Bey's finger and promised her forever not Dame or them other folk.
Jay-Z just fired a team he felt he could do better without, so far he's made the right decisions. He's record label and artist management company is at an all time high, far greater than what Rocafella ever achieved. So he's with a new team. If he felt like the team weren't on their job, he'll fire them too. It's a business he's running.
If Jay-Z owed them anything or they felt cheated, why can't they take $475million to court??? If he ain't got it his baby Mom's got it she got like $300Mil of her own.
It's not Jay-Z's fault that Jaz-O career flopped, his records were aiight to begin with then he turned to a scorned woman and he got treated like a bitch by the industry. I lost all respect for dude and never want to hear another Jaz-O record EVER!!!!!
When Jay-Z took himself out of the situations he had with those people, they all went broke. So why is that his fault?
Kanye's full of shit! When he signed a record deal or publishing he knew he was getting into the MUSIC BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!
So when your in the music industry expect corporate to be on their suit and tie shit as well as, what have you done for me lately. It's no different from everyone else jobs. Me & my boss are cool, I get to drive all the Bentley's etc but if i'm not selling or renting out houses, of course i'm gonna get kicked out and I've been here from day1. Kanye as an artist is expected to put music out that people want.
As far as being creative and having total control of his "ART" thats what the fucking mixtape game is about!!! So fuck this rant! Those fans deserve a refund for that wack performance!
Look at the stage he was performing on? That shit ain't cheap and I know Kanye did not put up his own money to fund the tour. So Ye, just do your fucking job or resign fool!
TRUTHHURTS Says:
February 25th, 2013 at 11:00 am@frank – what kanye said during Hurricane Katrina was what everybody was thinking. He spoke for a large majority of people – same as taylor swift & at MTV europe – he was promised the award & yet they didn't give him the award, knowing he would say something about it. People would just prefer to hear blacks talk about killing black which is tragic.

That same nigga who dick you got stuck in your throat is that same nigga that had his 300mill wife fire her FATHER oooo because he was stealing hahah SUCK A MOTHER FUCKING DICK!! I HATE FANS!! By definition yall are blind to any truth that doesn't paint your god in a saintly light! FOH!
Why did we only uncover this massive daddy fraud after the Whiteman's Trojan horse rode in and started calling shots? Hahah THAT SELLOUT COON IS WHAT HE IS AND HE'S TAKEN TONS OF DICK UP HIS ASS AND TAP DANCED FOR EVERY PENNY OF WHAT HE GOT!! Well deserved! -

February 25th, 2013 at 3:16 pmYo! What planet are you from???? FRIENDS are the family you get to pick! I will 100000000000% Fire a friend!
A mentor is some1 you go to for advice until you able to stand on your own 2 feet. Then it's time to get your grown man on!! If you keep following your mentor forever you are a BUM!!!!
I love both my parents unconditionally, I can't let them manage my career, if my pops wanted 100million just because, how can I say no??!!! I'll be put in a position where I follow my heart and not my mind. I'd rather Goldman Sachs handle my money and tell my financial adviser to give my pops $100k tell him that's all we got right now. So for Bey to fire her pops that's something she should have done a long time ago. Not saying he didn't do a great job, he did.
U got me laughing at you with that "you don't fire friends or mentors hahah you new niggas are nuts!! Shit why cant niggas get that?"
When I fire my brother, I'm gonna get a relative phoning me to see wsup, if I fire a friend nobody cares, trust me.
I'd rather the future black generation aspire to be the Jay-Z's, Diddy, 50, Dre, Ice Cube of 2morro rather being the Jaz-O and Banko0o0os of today. Your making us look bad!!!!!!!
Banko0o0o Says:
February 25th, 2013 at 4:49 pmNO YOU MAKING US LOOK BAD!!!
Who was the man that gave Diddy his start and fired him? Is Diddy following him or is he making sure he always has a gig out of respect for his start? YOU NEW NIGGAS ARE LAME! THE WORLD IS FUCKED UP BECAUSE OF YOU DISLOYAL ASS NEW NIGGAS!! GO USE EVERYONE YOU CAN TO GET RICH, STEAL THEIR BEST IDEAS AND REPACKAGE THEM AS YOUR OWN, THEN SIT HIGH ON THE HILL AND SAY FUCK THEM HAHAHAH
Yeah you new niggas are SPECIAL!!
You're sad bro and the shit thats driving your generation is depressing!! How many big money advisers robbed and stole from black athleetes and celebs leaving them broke? AND YOU'D TRUST SAXS OVER WHO MADE YOU? GTFOH MAN
I hope you're white because that mentality dont work well for colored folks unless they suckin dick and selling out they family.

Beyonce is going to learn the lesson thas been learned by everyone who's ever gotten close to Jazzy. That he's the darkness reaching out for the darkness and eventually is either you or him.
lostboy Says:
February 25th, 2013 at 6:19 pmYeah your right…I cant wait for the day that Kanye goes after an emcee in the game…Would like to see him battle someone in the game.. Attack Justin is like taking candy from a baby.

February 25th, 2013 at 7:22 pmOh dear u have issues bro lolololol. "MONEY AND STATUS DONT MAKE ME RESPECT HIM BECAUSE I RESPECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE JOURNEY AND NOT THE FUCKING RESULTS THAT CAME BY MEANS OF SELLING ONES FUCKING SOUL!!"
I think your reasoning for saying some1 sold their soul is, if they are rich and you don't like them hahahahahaha!!!! I bet you, you'll never say that shit about a white person. Your what's wrong with our community hating on another black man. You disgust me.
1st of all Jaz-O did not trust your man Dame Dash from jump and that's 1of the reasons why he did not sign to Rocafella. Since then who has offered Jaz-O a record deal? His last
The list of people Dame fucked over during Rocafella era is longer than Jay-Z's list. Last time I checked Beanie Sigel said Dame stole a clothing company from him.
I'm a business man, if one of my boys was a dope MC, I'd approach him to be his manager etc so we can build a company around his talent. If he blows up and becomes a huge star. He don't owe me shit because from the get go we both knew what we were getting out of it. If he chooses to end our partnership. I'll take my equal share and find another venture and wish him all the best. That's how you remain respectable in life, period.
All these fake loyalty, selling your soul shit your talking is you being ignorant. You Sir have poor reasoning skills.
Let's be clear, JAY-Z was the talent and cash-cow in ROCAFELLA records without Jay-Z there is no Rocafella Records, no shows no tours no CD sales and Dame would have probably another dude that's hood rich.
Dame has publicly admitted to mishandling Rocafella by putting new artists on private jets etc without them being hot. From the horses mouth dawg:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtC_n0-7RNg&feature=share&list=UU-BRkdsSEK_lW6AjuuNkOcwJaz-O put out a Jay-Z diss record in 2012, he's 48!!!!! that's fucking sad!!! Check this out from Wikipedia "The Blackprint is rapper Jaz-O's fifth studio album. It was released on August 27, 2012 under Kanyetothe Entertainment." LAAAAAAMEEEEE!!!!!!Hahahahahaha!!! The only thing interesting in Jaz-O's biography is Jay-Z. That's SAD!
Who is Dame Dash without Jay-Z??? He tried to do a Rock album and went on to do a whole bunch of weird shit. It's cool if you don't like Jay-Z but stick to facts.
Check this out my lil bro was 2 years old when Jay-Z dropped his 1st album, he went to Watch the Throne last year and said it was the best concert he's ever been to. If I asked him who Jaz-O or Dame Dash are he might know Dame aka Mr Cake-aholic, aka I stopped counting how much money I have once it reached 100 million, aka Jay-Z should have stopped putting out music out at Blueprint 1.
Peace out sucka!

This is a cute little quilt I threw together for my cousin's new baby boy. I love the Cat in the Hat fabrics. I backed it using a yellow minkee, making it extra soft for baby, and quilted it with a large meander in yellow thread. I used leftover pieces from the fat quarters to make the binding. It turned out so super cute, and I'm glad I finally got it finished (it only took me a few months! haha)
This is the Fat Quarterly Quilt Along quilt from last fall. Yeah, it's finally done. I used Mary Englebreit's Christmas fabric from 2009, called The Caroler. I was hoping to finish it in time for Christmas last year, but I guess we'll just have to use it this year instead. I backed it with black minkee, making it extra soft and snugly for those cold winter nights on the couch watching TV/movies, and quilted it with a meander in black thread. I bought some polka dot fabric that matched for the binding.

I love what I do. I look at the artistic side of life, always striving to see things from a new perspective. Photography is capturing a moment, an emotion and a memory, and making it last forever. I try to incorporate an editorial style into all of my photographs.
I love everything there is about weddings: the cake, the dress, and the priceless expression on a groom's face when he sees his bride. I love wedding photography and that is why I specialize in doing weddings.
Your wedding day is one of the biggest days in your life; having those memories captured the way you want is vital. My approach to wedding photography is simple: It is all about the little things. You take great care to plan and design your wedding. Your unique style and personality will make your wedding all your own. My goal is to make that come to life through pictures.
I am based in New Jersey, but I am always looking for new opportunities to travel. Contact me if you have any questions or to schedule an appointment.

Hello, everyone ! Time ago I saw this Weather Station by Aleator777 and I was inspired to make my own weather station. I saw that the Intel Edison is too expensive in my country, so I decided to look for something much cheaper, and I found the Adafruit HUZZAH which is lot cheaper and I ordered one.
When the breakout arrived I start to build my IoT Weather Station, and now I will show you how to make your own and how to stream the data from it to Adafruit IO.
The weather station is using a DHT11, for measuring air humidity, a TMP102, for measuring air temperature a BMP180, for measuring the pressure and a prototyping PCB to build it. I know I am using too much sensors but that is because I had them, and if you ask I should use DHT22 and BMP180 or just one BME280 which reads - temperature, humidity, pressure and altitude.
The waether station measures the temperature in Celsius(it could be changed to Fahrenheit), the pressure in PSI - Pounds per square Inch and humidity in percentage. It also has deep sleep mode that can be controlled, by default is set on 5 minutes.
You can see the readings from my weather station here, they are for my home town - Polski Trambesh. - ONLINE
The ESP8266 processor from Espressif is an 80 MHz microcontroller with a full WiFi front-end (both as client and access point) and TCP/IP stack with DNS support as well.

Hello, How does it take to configure the SMTP server to reject all mail that does not come from an external server dedicated. Explanation: I would use a proxy server to filter all external MX incoming emails. I'm stuck because I do not know or configure it. Thank you for your help. Sincerely,
Hello, I replied, hoping that this is ok. I modified the file "master.cf"as follows: smtpd_helo_restrictions= permit_mynetworks, warn_if_reject reject_non_fqdn_hostname, reject_invalid_hostname, reject and I add the proxy server name MX section "network" in the file "main.cf" as follows: mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::1]/128, my_serverproxymx thank you let me know if this is correct.

I have a medium to deep olive skin, with neutral to yellow undertones, and especially when tanned I love to wear this stronger colours. They look like so much fun and joy.. this palette gives me Joy
(Posted on 04/02/2016)
Since I bought this palette I have used it only a few times, and that's because the bold colours scared me a little. Now that I have used it a few times I can say that the two blushes in the middle and on the right apply really well and they blend easily, while the blush on the left is so pigmented that it stains the skin and it's almost impossible to blend. Every time I use it I have to proceed to take some of the blush off my cheeks and blend it with my fingers (beacuse none of the brushes work for this one). Nothing to say on the other two blushes. Recommend it only if you have a middle skin tone like me or darker and only if you like bold blushes.
(Posted on 12/01/2016)
I live in the U.S. and I'm so grateful to Sleek Makeup for having an online outlet for most countries. After seeing blogs and videos on YouTube, I figured I had to try this cosmetic line out and I'm so happy I did! The blushes are of such high quality! It's so wonderful to know us "regular folk" can afford your unbeatable prices. Thank you, thank you, Sleek. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us in the future. More blushes, please!!! All I ask is that you make ALL of your products available to the U.S.! You have a customer for life in me! Love!!!
(Posted on 16/07/2015)
I have a very pale skin(linen shade in Sleek) and 2 of these colours are perfect for cool skin tones of fair skin. Pinktini(the left one) is so bright and pigmented and realy hard to aply without looking like a clown. Still can't get used to it.
(Posted on 12/05/2015)
Sleek Makeup is really about that life! I am so in love with the palette amazing blush combos and I can't wait to try out more products. I seriously was beginning to worry because if you live in the US shipping is a little longer! I'm happy with my purchase everything arrived in perfect condition.
(Posted on 24/04/2015)
They are so pretty and pigmented i love them .
(Posted on 19/03/2015)
ofcourse like in all sleek products, a light hand is a must. this blush trio may seem a bit "scary" on the pan, but i have to say it blends like a dream!!! the right shade is the least pigmented, but the other two shades are bombarded with color- i apply them with a fan brush (ecotools, bought from iHerb), i gives a healthy flush to the skin. i honestly think these will fit every skin tone, even fair ones. another trick i do is- apply the blush under my powder, it "dims" the shade a little bit. you get a fair amount of product for a very reasonable price! i'd totally recommend it!!
(Posted on 31/05/2014)
These blushes are AMAZING I have dark skin and always look for products with strong enough pigments. This is it!!! I love SLEEK:)
(Posted on 25/11/2013)
I bought this product purely because I want a magenta, really bright, deep flush on my cheeks, and this ticks all the boxes! It applies well, doesn't crumble too much in the packaging, looks good and last all day! Definitelyd my favourite Sleek Blush by 3, just wish I didn't have to shell out for the other two colours!

This Pink Wednesday, I have a China Glaze polish that I picked up from Sally's during Breast Cancer Awareness month. Naked was being in a set with Seche Vite for $7.99. Great deal right!
Naked is a pretty pink with shimmer. It was sheerer than I expected and it required three coats for full opacity. The polish applied really well though. Here I used no base or top coat.

I really like this shade of pink. It's girly and I don't have another shade quite like it (believe it or not).
What do you guys think of Naked? Do you own this shade?

Today has been a day of pouring rain outside and taking the day off and read indoors. This lady could represent the dreams of many a young girl (as well as many a grown one hehehe) . The prinsess or mermaid dream. Or it could be a commentary - what do you think?

Many Thought in His Mind About His Dreams and Roles in Life, acrylics 40x50cm
0 comments Posted by Trine at 11:18 pmThis whole week I have tidied up and sorted through stuff that has been just stacked during the last busy months. LOL Today I sorted through a drawer with cards and telephonnumbers and papers gathered over the last 10 years. Long overdue. Hehe lovely when it is done.
I always end up doing this the first week of the holidays. I seem to be too wired up right after a work year and it takes time before I "land".
Today I have landed a bit. I have had one full night's sleep for the first time in a long time and that was lovely. Today I also rested out in the sun on a lounger with a book :-))) of course in between mowing a part of the lawn and such hehehe.
I hope you like today's painting. Feel free to interprete it however you please. At the moment it is a man's inner life - his thoughs or dreams - whether he looks to the future or to the past I do not know. The part I enjoyed doing the most was the superhero-kind of role.

My family and I have an old house which we use kind of like a cabin. Unfortunately something has gnaved on wood under the panelling and I do not know what it is. My fingers are crossed that it is only mice and not any of the bad wood eating insects.
A friend commented on yesterday's painting and said she saw something quite different than what I saw. After that I too see it with new eyes and considered changing the name of it to the more neutral "sitting" which will also give the viewer more freedom to interpret it themselves.

One of the slightly annoying things about the first days of every holiday is that I keep switching between still being on hyperactive mood and being fairly drained after the spring intensity at school + the exhibition.
A wise man, Confusious, once said " It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness". I did that last night when I could not sleep and found myself teaching my next class in my head. The first time I gave up falling asleep I got up and painted. The second time I went down to the basement and vacuumed and sorted and cleaned there for more than 3 straight hours. LOL
Due to only a little sleep last night I have been swinging from active to drained - to and from all day.
I am very happy about this painting because it has both my wish of simplicity as well as my wish to painti expressive figures which portraits emotions more than anything else. I hope you like it.

Yesterday my daughter arrived with her "new" car". It was nice to see her since we both have been very busy lately.
Tomorrow I am off to a nearby communicy to be the "sensor" for their English oral exams. That is what I have spent tonight preparing for.
At work the graduating classes delivered the rest of their books and tidied up their classrooms for the new 8th graders that will occupy them in autumn.
LOL The worst job for them was to remove the dried up cucumber slices that they have put up on the ceiling.
During a project in the 0th grade today I took lots and lots of photos and was able to capture all kinds of insects in one of the roses outside school. It is amazing how many species there were.
When you work in art you begin to look at all kinds of things more closely and now using the camera for macro photos that too makes me mroe aware of the small things in nature around me. THAT is what I want to have in my life - an awareness of nature and the present more than always stressing forward. I really hope to find some time soon to show more of those photos online. Some of them are quite good and might be included in my presentation on the exhibition on the 20-21th of June.

Today I am very satisfied. I feel wrung out but in a good way. 10B, my class had their oral exams today, I eximined half in Norwegian and Ellen my co-contact-teacher the other half in Science. Both groups did well and all the students that had worked properly before were able to show of their knowledge well and got good results. Tomorrow I will probably sleep in.

Today at 9 a.m. my students got to know what subject they ended up being tested in in the oral exam on Friday. So today my duty at work as a teacher was to be available to the half of mt 10B class which cam up in Norwegian.
I brought another 4 chinese praying mantises to work and they got 4 new happy new owners.
Arriving home, an incredibly hardworking 9 year old nabour kid wanted a job helping me with the lawn etc in my garden and I was very happy to accept. He and his brother is saving for a nintendo game. hehe Working with him I realized how much I miss the time when my kids were small and we worked together. I was very nostalgic.
Then after watching the season stop of Army Wives I have worked on getting the exam assignments written down.
In short, my life is still so busy that I regularly wonder how to get to the end of the tasks. I will however as always manage just by taking one day at a time and one chore at a time this time of year.

WASHINGTON -- Those of us who were in Vietnam during the '60s or '70s, when that war was supposed to be the one we couldn't live without, remember well the huge, strategic deepwater port and former American base at Cam Ranh Bay, about 150 miles north of Saigon.
The idea from the early '60s, when we first sent trainers to the South Vietnamese army, was that, once our South Vietnamese allies won against the North, which soon they would surely do, Cam Ranh would be a friendly port for the Yanks for decades to come.
Few of our unfounded predictions about the Vietnam War came true. Not all of the twisted hopes of the Pentagon's war room planners, who dreamed of empire, were to be fulfilled. Yet, this one may be: It looks as though Cam Ranh Bay will indeed turn out to be available to American military and commercial shipping.
Funny, isn't it, the way things happen? Could almost make you disbelieve in war if there weren't so many good songs about it!
It seems that Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta visited the former Vietnamese military base on June 4 for a stop that even the bellicose Wall Street Journal called a visit with a "deep historical resonance." He was the first American defense secretary to do so, and there was a purpose.
Aboard the USNS Richard E. Byrd anchored in the sparkling bay, he talked of the blood spilled in the war and about healing the wounds of the past, and it became clear that American ships have been stopping in Vietnam (about 20 since 2003), and that Washington would like to have a deepening relationship with Hanoi so that American ships could land there regularly.
Funny, too, because after the war ended so devastatingly in 1975, with such costly memories etched into the American psyche, Cam Ranh became a major port for the Soviet Union.
But that experience is past -- like the Soviet Union itself -- and today Hanoi looks to Washington to buttress its increasingly troubled relationship with China, whose military is growing and whose attention becomes ever more focused on the resource-rich South China Sea.
Funny yet again, because when we were fighting in Vietnam, a good part of the reason given for the war was that Communist Vietnam was allowing an expansionist Communist China to take over South Asia. No worry about that now.
Now, you may well say that my sarcastic attitude is out of place for those who truly hope for the future. After all, while he was in Vietnam, Panetta exchanged war relics with the Vietnamese generals. Panetta was given undelivered letters of a fallen American soldier, and his hosts returned the diary of a young Vietnamese found by a U.S. Marine. Keep in mind that the remains of 1,284 U.S. service members are still missing in Vietnam.
All of this is to the good, as is the idea that wartime enemies can become, if not friends, at least civil-minded former antagonists. That has certainly happened with Germany and Japan; but one must always remember that those countries were unconditionally defeated by the U.S. and the Allies.
My question here is, What do the American Vietnam vets think of all of this postwar friendliness? Do they feel humiliated by the superficially simple pictures of such American-Vietnamese reconciliation? And if this is so easy today, then why did the war ever have to happen? I know how I feel.
Other concerns must surely be strategic ones. President Obama recently announced publicly his "pivot" to Asia in American foreign policy. I guess this doesn't mean we are going to abandon Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan (if only we could!), but that we will move our focus to the Far East.
Already, the president has successfully approached Australia to have a small, rotating group of American military pass through there; negotiations with tiny but rich Singapore will more likely take the form of our troops being available for showdowns in the South China Sea but not being based there.
For those of us who felt we were devastatingly overreaching already, with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq -- and who think that, for all intents and purposes, we are at war with Pakistan, too -- this new "pivot" to another potentially troubled part of the world is not something to applaud. (Unless it means invading the Central Bank of China and getting enough money to pay our debts to them!)
China historically has not been an expansionist nation or society -- but one has to think that this is in great part because they were usually closed in by enemies on all sides. Now China is rich and increasing her military. Will she not try to get the oil in the South China Sea?
Will it not come down to a fight if Japan, as seems likely, is going to try to get the Senkaku Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea from China? There are dozens of reasons for war in those waters.
It would seem to me, as we dance our destroyers and drones around the world, that we need to examine why we are in these places and what we intend to do.

I LOVE Kilim but haven't got any in my home. You've already seen some on Etsy. Some are gorgeous: http://www.etsy.com/search/?search_query=kilim+pillows&page=1
Good Luck with the search.- BojanaApril 1, 2012 at 6:58 PM
You can always go back to the roots and get someone (me?) to send you a traditional Serbian ćilim. https://www.google.com/search?q=pirotski+%C4%87ilim&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=v4h4T8a7C8_itQba682-BA&ved=0CCoQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=632 I'm not really sure you can get the pattern on a cushion, but these rugs are divine!
ReplyDeleteRepliesThat actually is a plan! Hope to find some this summer when in Serbia. Not sure where I can get them though...
Delete- BojanaApril 1, 2012 at 8:57 PM
this is just an idea. They can generally be pretty expensive if they are original and hand-made. The most precious ones come from the Pirot area. I can ask around and see if I can get you a good deal. Many people sell them. - BojanaApril 1, 2012 at 8:58 PM

Ubuntu and Fedora Replace init with UpstartInit: the Old WayMay 4, 2009 init is the program which is used on most Linuxes to generate all other processes on bootup. The BSD style (which runs from the /etc/rc script) is slightly different from the SysV style: SySV is probably the one you're familiar with, as it's used by Debian, SuSE, and until recently, Redhat. With this setup, the system checks /etc/inittab to find a default runlevel. This file also defines what to do for various runlevels. A runlevel is a way of specifying a particular set of processes to run. The important point is that init is level-driven. This means that you allocate each service to a runlevel, and services are started up in blocks based on which runlevel you boot into (or move into once booted). You can of course manually start and stop services using the same scripts, but the basic idea is one of sets of services which correspond to particular usage situations. Within the runlevels, the names of the start and stop links govern the timing of the script. Each /etc/rcx.d directory has a collection of softlinks to the start/stop service scripts in /etc/init.d/. These look like this: K20service -> /etc/init.d/service If the link starts with a K, the service is stopped. If it starts with an S, it is started. This is done with the logic in /etc/init.d/rc. The numbers control the order, to avoid dependency problems: lower numbers are run first. With modern setups, increasingly this static system has disadvantages:
So, given these issues: how does upstart work, how does it improve matters, and how can you start using it? |
