What? Are you stoned? While I agree that "In Through The Out Door" and "Coda" were out right BS. "Presence" was the follow-up to "Physical Graffiti" and contains 2 of my favorites, "Achilles' Last Stand" and "Tea For One". I can can totally lose myself in either of those songs to this day.
I've had that same thought many times myself. Unfortunately the unintended consequence would be that when there is a very high turn over rate in elected officials, the bureaucrats who are not elected, are not beholden to any constituency, and are around for ever wield much too much power.
As Uncle Tupelo stated in 1992 in the song "Criminals"::Criminals::
We've got two kinds here Those that bleed the blood And those that work to will it Can't believe the big screen There's no justice in the hall We're all criminals waiting to be called
We've got shackles to keep the laws Made by men who bought and sold themselves With not a prayer to keep their powers at bay They want us kinder and gentler at their feet
They say don't step off the sidewalk And don't cross over the line But we'll serve time at night When the light begins to dim When the smoke seems to clear You can say what you want We're all criminals here
How many times will the teeth bite the tongue Looking for salvage in the damage that's done? I searched for you every place I thought I knew Still we're criminals looking for something to do
I'm with your there. I'm listening to Boot Liquor from SomaFM right now. Other than Willies Place, Country X, on XM it's the only place to find newer honky tonk music. With traditional radio all you get is the B.S. coutry pop of Tim McGraw, and Shania Twain.
Granted alot of these new female country singers can carry a bit of a tune, and some are great to look at. It's just twangy top 40 pop music.
I buy from iTMS once or twice a month, but they don't act as gate keepers for me. When I go to the iTunes music store I already know what I'm there to purchase. I find most of my new music through either word of mouth, XM, or internet radio.
I was actually surprised after reading the article. This past Tuesday Son Volt released their new album 'The Search', there is a Deluxe Edition with an additional 8 songs, that is available only from iTMS. Since it was promoted in the New Music Tuesday email, when I went there to buy it I thought it would be on the front page. Instead I used the search function, still had hit the view artist button and then click on two different icons to determine which one took me to the iTunes exclusive release, since both were labeled the same with the same cover art.
Seems to me that the Son Volt boys and their label didn't get a whole lot for providing those additional 8 tracks.
I've read many of Crightons books as well. Including one titled IIRC "Travels", which is a sort of auto-biography, or maybe more of a memoir since it just talks about his life experiences.
In that book he spends some time talking about his time at Harvard Med school, and his residency there.
That's right he is a Medical Doctor, who also did post-doctoral work at the Salk Institute. Although not practicing, I'm pretty sure that he knows alot more than the average slashdotter on this particular topic.
I would say that it isn't his status as a celebrity that should cause you to listen, but rather his background in medicine.
In this context signing should be treated as a dialect. Because just like speech, the way the hands move can be used to indicate inflection (flavored) more easily than texting.
As for not many people knowing sign. I would say that since cell phones are a more personal means of communication, most calls would be with friends and family who do sign.
Ooops, didn't see that the comment I was replying to was talking about the soundtrack for the movie.
But the fact that they make more on the DVD's dosen't mean that they aren't trying to make money back on the theatrical release. I probably wouldn't have commented if you had left the pure bull bit in you reply out.
As a matter of fact he did, the email app for iPhone will connect to either SMTP or POP email servers. And Jobs metioned.Mac, Yahoo, and somebody else specifically.
The difference is that movies try to make thier money back on the theatrical release prior to being sold for home viewing on DVD.
The musical analog of theater release for a movie is a concert tour by the performer. While the money from a movies' release goes to the studio, money from a concert tour goes mainly to the performers.
I know that it's really more complex than that, but I'm nutshelling here.
Back in the 60s if you bought music, you pretty much had to listen to at least 1/2 an album at a time.
Actually I remember my older sisters having boxes of 45 rpm singles. It wasn't until cassettes and 8-track became predominate in the early 70's that you almost had to buy the whole collection of songs that comprised an album.
Seeing as how Steve Jobs had an iPhone attached to a video out source for his keynote demo, and that the device is Bluetooth and WiFi enabled. It might not be so far away after all.
I use to have an audio cassette of the whole half hour Abbot & Costello radio show with the original "Who's on First" routine. The show was originally sponsored by Camel, and they actually had a commercial break that stated that "9 out of 10 doctors prefer Camel." Now I've only got the TV show that was sponsored by some soap mfr. not nearly as interesting.
Autodesk has its own product to compete with the likes of Pro/E. It is called Inventor, and is a parametric modeller, with modules for assemblies, sheet metal, etc.
While you're quite right about those Generals retiring on time during the execution of the war or before it even started. You can't forget that former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and at the time sitting Sec'y of State Colin Powell told the entire administration "If you break it you bought it."
Meaning that he foresaw this mess before it started. BTW he didn't last much longer in that post after that comment.
They still make the original "saftey razors, you could try that.
As for using an oil to shave with, I've heard of using olive oil works. However I think that defeat the purpose of using an oil to protect the metal of the blade as I know that straight razor manufacturers advise against using vegatable oils.
You can't beat a cup with shaving soap in it, a shaving brush, and a straight razor.
Not only is it a great shave, but is also more environmentally sound. Since there isn't the continuous cycle of purchasing, and then throwing away the displosable razors and thier packaging.
Although the linked article doesn't specify how BMI was determined, there are more ways other than the height vs. weight charts.
Hydrostatic weighing is considered that most accurate. This is where you are weighed normally, and then again underwater. After making allowances for the air in your lungs while being weighed underwater the two different weights are entered into a formula to get a fairly accurate picture of you lean to fat ratio.
In your case when the BMI charts say that some one who is plainly in shape is fat, then you can go with the calipers on the triceps method. Maybe not any more accurate than the charts, for most people, but at least in takes in to account an individuals body composition unlike the charts, which IRC where developed by life insurance companies in the '50's as a way to assess the risk of an early death.
Since this study was done by doctors I would think that they are able to make the distiction between somebody has a low BMI but a higher weight and someone who is fat.
But I still don't necessarily agree with their findings, but like the article says they merely found a link, not a correlation.
I don't think you could achieve the same type of expression using a synth to replicate string instruments.
Think about bending a note or sliding into the next note. Hard to do with a keyboard unless there are a variety of sliders/knobs/pedals etc. to allow those effects.
At that point it might be that the synth becomes so complex that you need a robot to operate all of the controls at once. But would that robot be able to supply his own expression or would have to be programmed in.

Why is this such a stretch? Pres. Carter commanded nuclear subs, did gratuate studies in nuclear physics, and even spotted a UFO.

Where the hell did you Photoshop CS3? Are you a beat tester, or something?

You mean like Newt and his gang did?
But the moive studios are trying to keep as firm a grip as possible on the current distribution model as long as possible.
