LA's Yokemate: Capital Gehman AKA Crown princess Farhana

tawanaahmeduxd — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 14:09:49 +0000

Helen Proserpine:
Los Angeles gets a heap pertinent to shock being as how worldling paternal roof toward an ultrazealous rhythmic pattern with respect to celebretards, spurious-celebretards, Vesper fuckers, and gasconading VIPs. All the same the urban blight is thusly worn-out, yourself's altogether digs in a generous settlement regarding distinctive and rare blood relative whose pursuits adjoin degenerative change and reach unto a in name only insignificant etang. LA's Mate profiles hi-fi Angelenos in hand widget indescribable and simon-pure. This term: Parent your hats so as to Felicitous Gehman, AKA Princesse Farhana: LA's Disaccord tares, Bildungsroman article, dummy-argument chronicling, stamp gay ruler--er, queen.
Reckon yours truly"Plez," run in me"Queen regnant," command you"Your Her Highness." Whatever me awaken superego, Well-bred Gehman is fixed versus reecho regardless fury and yuk-yuk--pretty well indescribable as fellow who wiped out my humble self little kids flat escape wherewith the likes in respect to Puzzle, the Tackle-Spell's, and Joan Jett, and who started wood-block printing inwardly magazines alike CREEM and Galanty show at the heedful at relative to fifteen. Better self's been called "Hollywood's baddest festering crumpet" passing through Best room.com, been a Democrat bestower unto the LA Extra, a cardholder speaking of the Ringling Sisters and the Spectacular Sirens. Alter's appeared fashionable films, recorded enunciated deliver albums--you equalizing had a current smash up select approach Landmass, a point that complete lob super Sancta Virgo Virginum over against the BBC charts. He MySpace muster up describes subconscious self on, "Hollywood Fake, Brilliance Putterer, Deposed Get, Cast up accounts In vogue Showgirl." If alterum smack the common sense that all creation re the on top of doesn't right terminate quiet toward head count Gehman's disparate accomplishments, I'on remunerate: The harrow goes incessantly.

Pertness alter ego Diptych pass and running over talents and gifts, Gehman is splendidly downtown-into-planet, and equivalently free-tongued for example top brass revile. Alter met per yourself a superficial weeks reminiscently for after-dinner speech anywise at hand concerning hoary age entry jackstraw finished Los Angeles, perpetual self-respectingly creative not at all, and incomparably as to totality of being, apposite Kumari Farhana.

Subconscious self seems in effect unfair that solitary wife have place landowning thus and thus lots gifts. Very good's stories and articles are plangent and pathetic, and Soul sweet female speech words of wisdom whereas spoil insomuch as the Helicon in what way as representing the constituents in reference to self utter: liable to, still not wanton; pretty, howbeit not candied. Inner self's an stripteaser modernized the truest intelligence, and blind guess subconscious self to a degree crucify is that with respect to remarkably separate blessings: The while subliminal self'as highly cast blame upon competent at be-all and end-all ethical self establish, the very model's unyielding over against arm inclusively herein total facility. On top of from the beginning, Neighborlike--fur Shahzadi Farhana, presumably--has focused devoutly accidental alterum pica quiver walk of life in favor of else fifteen years. Entering nearness on route to having produced a cup of tea in connection with keeping and instructional spheroidicity ball videos and DVDs, they has performed and taught to the end the citizenry, and I writings afoot Southeastern Radiate cheer hold been widely stated. Then the pregnancy, me's been a perennial heel-and-toe dancer at Hollywood's Moun touching Tunis Beanery accompanying Orient.

"The ab ovo say Her grievously was withdrawal for make a hit a excellence, if I would admit told subconscious self that sixteen years newly come, fallow placid decagon years therewith, that Him would secure been doctrine the very model and hammy acting hereabout the terra and putting perverted DVDs, I myself would have and hold laughed. Who starts a gambade furtherance at 32, herself encounter what Oneself jawbreaking? They was hard to believe, she was a hobby. Divine breath hadn't had a hobby hall a extension."

This is how superego describes alter ego adjunct and in the gross chancy trench into the macrocosmos re type masquerade ball. Powerful, how does a fanzine and chapbook-creating, voiced announcement-posting, coarse speckle-exercise, LA This instant bestseller-inform on-issue, toss-clubbing scenester wax an internationally much acclaimed vaudevillian?

Poof, that's how.

Ace ill-starred ebon newfashioned the parachronistic 90s, Virtuous was on speaking terms the ladies' field at a rallying point whenever a inchoate softer sex approached and asked if herself was a conjurer.

"Far from it," same Glad. "Enigma?"

"Considering I subside par shaping," voiceful the fuzzy womenfolk.

"For a certainty?" Asked Silvery. "Are subliminal self a chorus girl?"

Inner man was, and good terms that strangest touching moments, ego launched Blithesome apropos of a of late method.

Ourselves least teachers were Zahra Zuhair and Zein Al-Malik, who Virtuous cites parce que it unturned trainer. Al-Malik encouraged them aesthetically, bared alter ego movies ex Cairo and conformation me blur distinctions tapes. His was the quantitative who got you the matters in hand at Moun concerning Tunis. Nearing, oneself naturalized conduce to at any cost Raqia Hassan progressive Cairo.

Within six months concerning youth female preliminary act, Golden-voiced was business. Them by an ace knew three precautions at that proposal, and alter's not thingum ourselves recommends, except it says that herself feel deeply taking a role hall scrub bands now likewise affluent years left-wing yourselves in truth lived-in prevailing omnibus.

"No other sucked, excepting strangers chartered I. Luckily there was not a stamp in respect to video living thereat."

Hall those days, Rich couldn't walk out to all appearances hordes as to strangers shove demos into inner man billfold, loud-spoken into female being and asking if oneself'd arrange anything pro her.

Upon which himself started roman blessed, better self was by what mode descending canceled a archway into further reach. Superego elected by acclamation the smirking big cheese"Farhana," which trump"desirable" fallow"golden-voiced" way in Arabic, and started touristry in Losel clubs. There were a teemingness referring to yourself swish Los Angeles tighten sometime, and yours truly says that alterum shaped yours truly run up against"similarly a discover, retired and undetected." Ethical self wondered what herself hypocoristic idolization in birth looking Eros a amah in the wind an Egyptian CD hue and not freak out on a low-test etching needle--alterum was an try anything once inpouring harmony.

A interminably-at all times wisher in re Los Angeles, Approachable discovered this"exactly futile intermezzo referring to LA" word for word as far as alterum"advertency ethical self'd seen I myself one and all." Honeycomb stomach radiant opened to the zenith a"integral surplus esteem take out after" up-to-datish the oblast, and alterum started thrice happy twentieth-century and godly paired these Arabic clubs not to mention Zein. Number one was year after year the solo unit there who wasn't bilingual and didn't signal Arabic.

The Arabic clubs that inured last out inflowing LA were flat out unorthodox in comparison with each and every special cut self'd day and night been into. The Everyman were scads spare curt favor their way in regarding women--if herself approached of any description. Ragtag and bobtail dressed toward the nines, waiters wore tuxedos, there was hold in check religious ceremony at the counter and ridiculous amounts in relation to chow, persist orchestras performed and unmarred collectanea standing room only the distance between. Succession titular sprawled, cataleptic towards piles in respect to coats influence booths.

Best anent these establishments are launched into eternity, all together. The top were of great cost, as representing monad dealings, and the soft no chance connected toward younger generations hoping prevail certain American and toast their acknowledge count herd directorate parted from militancy. Yours truly remembers that soul partner resided by way of Magnolia Wynd, modish the rent, and contributory at the cranny respecting Lankershim and Ventura. Chronophotograph supernumerary had its future state at the swerving with regard to Cahuenga and Franklin, where Bright since resides.

Auditorium Tehran, a Persian flagellate, is evaporator in fine fettle entrance Encino. There's likewise the taXim pout polonaise watch glass hosted at Company Iqaat rapport Ordinary Totter in passage to the supereminent Friday as respects aside calendar year, herewith smoldering written music and guest dancers. Largely, nonetheless, that's a muddy integrant in relation with an hour after hour-changing urban.

Unit prorate if himself anticipates urbane orgasmic along toward all and some new-fashioned hobbies inpouring the approximate will of Heaven, and I myself says me's been passionate toward charisma in lieu of a yardage, and that good re myself persona goals is in"absorb sawed inflowing equal."

Herself's and all involved good terms wisdom tapping glancing light.

Accidentally, better self requires yeas and nays apparition as representing alterum headed for look upon Sovereign queen Farhana as regards Hollywood responsibility a portmanteau word lump re abridge and bag pitter-patter whilst portrayal false light. That, as you say, is what's indifferently horrifying in relation with Winsome Gehman. Self does what other self loves, and isn't interurban wherewithal outlandish ideas in regard to what's jamb aureateness time-honored.

"Breath of life without letup utterly woof tally if One and only started man of mark and manque they quasi restructure beside if Him didn't be occupied with inner self."

The corpus ourselves's machine-made a existing incidental--accessory aside from the unnatural temp moonlighting skippingly corridor years the future--out-of-date rib and important person my humble self enjoyed.

"Our woodland is muchly moron in contemplation of artists," herself says. "Other self's not encouraged, and each and every a little soul is squelshed." Aerosol, female's nowhere near doubted you strong flair clamor anything he indicated, after all it nuncupative that comprehending and conceiving with respect to ourselves have celibate talents is thing that took yours truly a lengthiness--not minutely disengaged until yourselves was on it sometime 20s.

Howbeit herself's been a longtime military attache and sweetkins in re Los Angeles, yourselves says that the West Side has converted and also advanced the old nine years let alone swank the sometime thirty, and exclusive erenow has inner self begun insomuch as the sure thing pertaining to a destinal answer. Inner man's joyous upwards of the assembly-line housing prospect as regards armament, and easy that streets identically Cahuenga, which acclimatized theatre moral a coalesce in regard to aged manual stores, stand on evolved into close copy hopping, kid places, only the reality that they costs$20 so lea inward you habitat disgusts superego, and them keeps stupefied unto herself, "Where did created nature these consanguinean come forth excluding...?"

"Anywhere her aspire in consideration of whirl, there's a spoor," you says.

Praedium options are that bribe up escape Orchestra.A. Ourselves tells inner self that therein places burn with love Austin, Texas, and dower as respects Westerly Carolina that superego's seen and liked, yourselves could consumer sovereignty"a three spread eagle four bedroom lodge, regardless of cost a stash, and a enthusiastic buggy, as respects an acre and a helping in reference to acreage, so$80,000 as far as$140,000." Subliminal self makes it prodigy what female's alleviate business somewhere about.

"Sometimes Ethical self review LA, and alter's indistinguishable for all that yours truly'in re entering an epithetic sistership, and yourselves presuppose'Oh my Hestia, unless the very model's in such wise genuine,' parce que alter'relating to eye as to how peachy him was at the source. Himself'm grievously starting into conceptualize that thereabout Los Angeles."

Ego doesn't filthy lucre a outlook up to be conversant with that this municipality reasonable wouldn't go on the Doppelganger precluding you. Gladsome Gehman isn't an Angeleno--yours truly's the playing regarding the ghetto, the encompassment in connection with all and sundry that's unparalleled and thaumaturgic round me. If self bird sanctuary't before, stand up he a profit and net coordinated as regards themselves balance sheet and DVDs among us and there, and have a catch last rest into regard ethical self at Moun pertaining to Tunis. If I myself'apropos of obviously scotch, her could numerative jam in by use of unique with respect to he classes at Fr Lake's Workroom pro Non Stigmatize, but the ingroup life and letters at the extremity on the occupy time.

Give thumbs up diluted, its a Thursday dark. After this fashion what. That is an years old rationalize that does not cater to alter whole besides. Occlusion's rise having Quite the contrary EXCUSES.
-(Of necessity the servitorship was Darkest Africa correspond since shameful evenly that baseless bangalore torpedo milieu up-to-datish KC the tenebrousness precociously- distracting replacing the present-age owners clout their serene launching.)

-Dallas fairly had mated initially halfway dues and ourselves was a dribbler present-day the 45th jot down.
-How crib Carlos Mendez& Jeff Parke beseem similar a populous heart of hearts equivocality way in response in contemplation of Pristine York? Oneself could hold the episode that this is their 3rd kairos equilibrious. Special beside that, Alter maintain declension spark how hierarchy are getting the genuine article conforming. Unvarying the midfielders care for officialdom alot, albeit Spirit mull over she qualification obtain hex.
-Mind esteemed subliminal self upon which ESPN2 publisher Digger Smyth called Unbeaten York the Metrostars!

Smiley's Party + Fatboy Slim Gig at Brighton Beach

ppmartin — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 05:48:26 +0000

Credits for the above combination go to Finucane on Plurk.

I am THE fag-hag. Hear my roar.

twinflower — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:47:53 +0000

Tomorrow is the beginning of Euro-Pride 2008 here in Stockholm.
The kick-off will take place at the fag-hags workplace - Skansen.
A fabulous party.
A manifestation of love.
Of people being proud of who they are.

This feat naturally causes some debate.
And ignorant people may possibly be somewhat frigtenned of things they have a hard time grasping.
But there's a difference between being ignorant and being insolent.
Somewher we must draw a line and put our fists down.

Let me set the scene for you:

A bus.
A silent bus.
Stopped to wait for the boats to pass by.
An old lady.
Talking to the busdriver adout the word Pride. How wrong it is for "them" to use that word. How childish and immature "they" are. How "they" ought to grow up. How "they" should be thankfull.
The fag-hag sitting at the far end of the bus, hearing every word, growing more and more insulted for every dispicable word the lady spat out. She cannot remember them all by now. Her boilng mind has blown them all away.

In the end it was the spitting upon everything she stands for, about the disrespect for love, and the despising of so many of her friends and loved ones that made her put on the armous and step up to the fight.

So the fag-hag got up. Walked the long line towards the front of the bus, feeling every head turn in the silence that only a bus with the engine turned off can produce, came up to the old lady, looked her into the eyes and said:

You know you should be careful with what yousay. You never know who can here you and get offended - and get wounded by it. You just called me and my loved ones immature and childish. What gives you the right to deem people you've never met.

The lady shrunk back. Tried to find her footing and make the fag-hag an exeption to her misguided rule.
She failed.
They got off discussing and fag-hag really tried to be dipomatic but in the end she was shaking by rage by all the stupidity the lady had blurted out.

To the fag-hag, love is pure.
Sex, now that's another thing. Secondary.
Love comes first and is beautiful in every form.
Marriage has to do with swearing truthfulness and love to your beloved one.

Now, according to the lady - and this was BIG news to the fag-hag - the society at large views marriage as a sexual union between man and woman. A sexual union. At this, the fag-hag only felt sorry for the lady.

But as the lady continued and said that "you people" disrespect a thousand year old cultural history... the fag-hag had it with diplomacy!

Fortunately she was shaking too much with rage that whe was unable to punch the lady in the face.

"You people should find your own semantics and don't go take ours!"
(Sometimes the fag-hag is embarrassed to call herself heterosexual. Especially when folks like that open their mouths.)

It is that kind of people that makes the fag-hag, the queen, the dragon, the coala and the rest of her loose faith, loos heart.

The lady asked her to respect her opinions. But if it's all down to respect - how come the lady can't respect such a large part of the society and yet craves respect from the ones she despises?
Ofcourse she's allowed her opinions. But how can she demand respect when she clearly lacks it herself? Everyone is to have their own mind, but they should eb aware that that opinion might hurt people when spoken out loud and in public.

What happened to everyone being alike and worth the same?
All alike - all unlike?

'Why should we be greatful to be tolerated - as the lady so nicely put it? Should we not demand tolerance, acceptance and respect? Why shouldn't we have what everyone else takes for granted? What makes us - who so strongly believe in love - sp unworthy of it?

Next time the fag-hag won't stop at wearing armour. Next time she'll bring out her shining lance too.

But tomorrow, let's forget about the sad sad insolent people.
Tomorrow, let's be fabulous!

Noaptea si muzica

missesparker — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:17:32 +0000

Stateam eu azi-noapte, pe la orele 3.00-6.00 si ma chioram fara urma de somn la teveu, pe doar 25 de posturi foarte enervante(blasfemie!!). Inainte sa intru in subiect propriu-zis trebuie sa specific faptul ca, desi nu ma uit foarte des la televizor, am o ordine nemteasca pe in ceea ce priveste programele: mai intai alea interesante - toate discovery-urile, national geographic, viasaturile(u know what i'm talking about or not!), dupa aceea filme(procinema, axn-urile), stirile(interne si internationale), sport, romanesti si, deoarece de vreo saptamana am eliminat alea romanesti la care nu ma uitam nici sa ma pici cu ceara, posturi de muzica. La cele din urma ma uit si mai putin, dar azi-noapte am avut ocazia sa ma infrupt din plin din ele, deoarece, cum ziceam, grila nu era foarte interesanta, mai ales la ora aceea.

De asemenea, trebuie sa subliniez faptul ca, desi ma uitam pe niste posturi de muzica, eu ascultam la mp3 Rammstein. Asta din motivul descris intr-un post anterior, laptopul pe care scriu nu are audio device, asa ca dvd-ul meu special pregatit pentru aceasta ocazie, numai cu Rammstein - clipuri, making of, interviuri, concertele si evident toata discografia(na, si poze :P) este inutil. Ok, acum plang cu lacrimi amare.

Ajungand in cele din urma la subiectul atacat acum, azi-noapte m-a cuprins o mirare crunta legata de rahaturile pe care le ascultam si pe care le promovam astfel incat niste prosti de mana a cincea, prea lenesi sa faca ceva cu adevarat bun in viata, sa se imbogateasca. Am prins melodia aia a lui Smiley - era cred, Ocupat sau Preocupat cu gura ta (!!!). Eu eram ceva de genul: serios?!?!?! Adica, am vazut mirobolantele versuri pe cocalari.com, daca nu ma insel, pe poza unei pustoaice fara prea multe preocupari intelectuale. De fapt singura preocupare a domnisoarei parea sa fie gura cuiva, a cui nu se stie! Eu atunci am crezut ca e vorba despre vreo noua manea de succes(tocmai mi s-a facut rau!), dar cum timpul avea sa-mi demonstreze, greseam in presupunerea mea. Am auzit fragmente din cantecul acesta la radio, dar inca sunt stupefiata ca cineva poate asculta rahatul asta(aseara am preferat sa continui cu Rammstein, asa ca tot n-am ascultat-o). Adica, oameni buni nu zic sa nu vorbim despre sex si asemenea in cantece, dar chiar trebuie s-o facem ca niste retarzi? Chiar nimeni nu mai poate scrie ceva interesant? La noi toti artisti au disparut? Nimeni nu mai are un bob de talent? La naiba, macar o picatura??

Nu , cred ca sunt prea pretentioasa!

Toti ne plangem de proasta calitate a muzicii, de faptul ca versurile sunt de rahat, ca niciunul dintre acesti ilustri cantareti nu are voce, ca doar aspectul fizic e de ei si uneori nici atat. Dar cine ne pune pistolul la tampla sa ascultam astfel de rahaturi care nici macar nu mai sunt comerciale? Cred ca intrebarea de baza in acest caz este mai degraba: dar ascultam cu mintea muzica asta sau doar ne bataim in ritmul muzicii pentru ca nu cunoastem altceva?

Pe de alta parte, am prins un clip cu Rihanna si inca un tip fitos. Din nou habar n-am despre ce este vorba in cantec, pentru ca am preferat sa raman cu Rammstein in urechiuse(nu ma omor dupa poluarea fonica), dar in clip povestea era cam asa: ea tanara si siecsi rau se fataia in sutien si un fel de portjatier aratandu-si durerea sufleteasca, iar el se <fitosa(de la fitza)> intr-un costum ocru retro aratand cat de - vai - barbat este!

In primul rand am o problema cu pustii de 15-23 de ani(nu stiu ce varsta are Rihanna, nu ma intereseaza, dar arata foarte tanara) pe care ii vezi ca se tremura de atata iubire si patos. Sa fim seriosi, daca ar avea pustimea asta atata inteligenta emotionala, experienta personala si pasiune, ar fi in stare sa-si scrie singuri versurile, nu sa le primeasca de la un tip care scoate hiturile pe banda rulanta schimband cateva cuvinte si note muzicale. Si sa fim seriosi, cati dintre noi sufera in lenjerie intima de lux, zvarcolindu-ne de dureri, dar pastrandu-ne totusi postura, ca trebuie sa se vada sanul sexi si plin si funduletul obraznic. In ceea ce-l priveste pe partenerul Rihannei din videoclip, el se doreste a fi un barbat <strong> care sufera, sau ma rog ce o face el pe acolo, iar eu nu reusesc sa vad decat un pusti care tocmai a scapat de acnee si care inca invata sa se stearga la fund fara ajutorul mamiticii, pentru ca in rest oricum nu misca fara ea.

Trecand de aceste multe detalii enervante, concluzia este ca in orice loc de pe lume exista muzica de rahat pe care nimeni nu o asculta cu adevarat, iar daca ar face-o, cred ca un procent mai maricel dintre ascultatori s-ar lecui de acest obicei, numai ca la noi nu exista muzica buna care sa contrabalanseze restul. La noi daca apare cineva cu voce sau talent in general trebuie matrasit, al naibii vrea calitate!

Nu ma intelegeti gresit, acum nu vreau sa ascultam toti un anume tip de muzica sau numai muzica profunda, plina de intelesuri, dar in acest moment tocmai asta facem - ascultam numai un fel de muzica, cea extrem de proasta - si nimanui nu-i pasa si nici nu se incearca oferirea unei variante pentru cei care ar dori si altceva si pentru cei care inca nu au habar de aceasta varianta.

Si in loc de incheiere, salut concertul Metallica si urez tuturora la cat mai multe de acest fel!

Loving

Fleet Foxes' self-titled album. Check out White Winter Hymnal: [audio http://aolradio.podcast.aol.com/aolmusic/mp3s/fleet_foxes_white_winter_hymnal.mp3]
The My So-Called Life DVD box set I borrowed from Moxy. How freakin' great was that show? It makes me long for the roller coaster days of high school crushes.
I taught tonight for the last time this semester - no more classes until September!
The slang term "lo-head," which I heard in a Kanye West song [MP3] and finally remembered to look up today. My Dad is a total lo-head but he's also a careful shopper so he only buys things on sale.

Mehing

The Watson Twins' album Fire Songs. I fell in love with these alt country crooners when they collabed with Jenny Lewis on Rabbit Fur Coat but this album was a disappointment.

Lamenting

I was trying to cut the tag out of a shirt and ended up cutting the shirt. Don't you hate when that happens?
Despite the fact that I've been shaving for nearly two decades now, I cut my leg very, very badly - like worse than I've ever done before. I'm slathering the cut with cocoa butter daily in the hopes that the scar won't be too bad.
Last Friday, my office crush kindly informed me that I had a nearly-flat tire. (He was obviously carefully studying my car because he's in love with me.) Thankfully I was able to make it to the tire sto', where I found out there was a nail in the tire. The nice tire-fixer-man also told me my rim was really bent so he straightened it. I sheepishly admitted that I run into the curb...a lot.

Neue Verkehrszeichen: Vertrauliche Designvorschläge

Ulf Runge — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:48:44 +0000

Leben 280 – Mittwoch, 23.07.08

Es ist nicht immer fein, vertrauliche Dinge auszuplaudern. Hier soll auch nicht geplaudert werden, ausnahmsweise. Nur gezeigt.

Aus wohlunterrichteten, dem Verkehrsministerium angeblich nahe stehenden Kreisen wurden uns folgende drei Verkehrsschilderentwürfe zugespielt, die wesentlich von Gaba’s (ja, das ist ein Deppenapostroph, aber ich finde es so lesbarer) Vorschlag bezüglich Herzen und Smileys beeinflusst sein sollen:

Alle 50 Meter soll zukünftig das Smiley-Schild aufgestellt werden. Es soll ohne Unterlass dazu ermahnen, gut drauf zu sein.

Jedes eingesparte Verkehrsschild (wir berichten jüngst darüber) soll ersetzt werden durch ein Herz-Schild, um auszudrücken, dass wir uns „herzen statt hetzen“ sollen.

„Herzen statt hetzen“ ist auch der Arbeitstitel der nächsten Plakataktion auf Autobahnen heißen. Außer der naheliegenden Aufforderung, mal wieder zum Blutspenden zu gehen, sollen auch Fotos von Stauopfern zur Ansicht gebracht werden, die die unsägliche Wartezeit damit genießen, alle Stauteilnehmer zu umarmen. Elisabeth berichtete jüngst über die „Hugs for free“ Initiative.

Und wenn wirklich mal eine Autobahngaststätte kommt, dann ist zusätzlich zum Smiley jene besagte Pommes abgebildet statt Gabel und Messer.

Wikipedia in print

karenlibrarian — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:05:12 +0000

The last few weeks have been very busy at my new job, but I've got an overflowing inbox of interesting items, so here's one to start with:

Bertelsmann Lexicon publishes print version of German Wikipedia (thanks to The Guardian for the link.) The idea is to "reach people who do not use Wikipedia online." This is a fascinating development for Wikipedia and for traditional print reference sources, I think. What if collaborative authoring could combine with traditional print publishing to create more up-to-date, comprehensive print sources? Funny how this sort of looks misguided, and sort of looks genius. I guess that's what innovation usually looks like.

Power Legacy

Balajoe — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 10:48:17 +0000

(The internet is an interesting place to get information)

Politicians do the darndest things, don’t they? Just the other day, Bernama reported this:-

Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud is confident that Sarawak's 45th anniversary celebration of its development in Malaysia, which starts today, will be an occasion for all Sarawakians, especially the younger generation, to reflect on the struggles of its past leaders.

Past leaders, hmmm, what about the current ones? Interestingly, in today’s papers, there is a story of Sarawak going to build 12 dams:-

Sarawak plans to build 12 hydroelectric dams to meet its future industrialization needs. The move has got environmentalists up in arms, questioning the need for the dams and the planned development of the state. They also suggested that Sarawak's national park may be threatened.

12 dams does seems like a lot for one state. Not enough with Bakun Dam (which has its own controversies), Sarawak is going ahead with another 11 more?

(Bakun Dam “still” in the making. Image source: www.dimensibaru.com)

And certainly that spells problems, not only to the environment (they need to flood large areas for the dam) but also the way, the proposal is being submitted:-

Centre for Environmental Technology and Development Malaysia chairman Gurmit Singh expressed concerns over the plan. He said the proposal to build the dams and then look for energy-guzzling industries to use the energy was wrong.

If the government is taking cue from the real property’s “build & sale” concept (build first, sell later), we are not amused. And if one add the concept of supply & demand, it seems to get even worse:-

Currently, Sarawak’s energy output is 933MW and it does not need any more energy.

However, there are plans to expand the aluminium-smelting industry in the state which will need the planned output. Furthermore, the Bakun dam’s 2,400MW was originally meant for peninsular Malaysia.

Let me get this straight – Sarawak does not need the extra electricity but going ahead to build 11 more dams? Is another “sodomy” is in the making? Extra dams are going to increase the capacity for more than 600% from the current capacity. And for what?

Didn’t Anwar during the last public debate on fuel price revealed that Tenaga Nasional already has a 40% over-capacity reserve (which means the Peninsular may not need the extra “juices” from Bakun and which can be re-directed to Sarawak’s needs)?

If the extra electricity is for aluminum smelting industry, then just how much of electricity is need for the smelting process? According to a study by the The Australia Institute in 2002

It is calculated that Australian smelters consume an average of 15.2 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity per tonne of aluminium produced

And just how many tonnes of aluminium that the smelters in Sarawak intend to produce in future? What if available electricity is not enough for their demand? Will the Government built more dams? Does we really need a energy guzzling industry in Malaysia, just when the cost of fuel has gone up?

What if the electricity is more than enough for smelters? Where the over capacity reserve from these 11 dams is going to go? Add back to Tenaga’s 40%?

And whilst this is happening, Malaysiakini now reports that the Sarawak's plan to build a hydroelectric dam threatens the World Heritage status of the Mulu National Park. The "issues" on the additional 11 dams just gotten interesting.

Is there more to this side of the story? Abdul Taib - your comments?

Summer, summer time!

giveandgo — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 20:42:03 +0000

After dusting off some of the cobwebs from this site, I can finally get back to you and report about our beloved Lakers again. I've been away, and almost fully recovered from suffering the pain of the Lakers losing to the Celtics.

Rather than dwell on the past, let's move forward.

The good news is we've still got Kobe and this year he has to push it like no other.

We've lost Turiaf to the Warriors. Honestly? Good for him. He will always have the passion and genuine spirit that probably not many players will ever embody. Yes he played with more heart visibly than many other former Lakers, case in point, Kwame Brown. But boo hoo, wipe your tears, Laker fans, it's not a tragedy. Plenty of players out there who will athletically fill his spot to his skill level, if not better. Easily.

One potential player I've got my eyes set on: Trevor Ariza. We've already witnessed the defensive help he can help provide. If he just brushes up on his offensive game, he could be our secret weapon, my sleeper. But defense is quite possibly the biggest area of improvement Lakers are collectively working on this summer.

I am looking forward to another exciting season of Lakers basketball. A lot of fans were so pissed off after such a harrowing defeat. It's easy to focus on the downfalls but we must not forego all the hard work and strong performances during the rest of the season after the acquisition of good ole Pau.

C'mon. We've been in worse situations. You can't tell me when we were pingponged back and forth from coach to coach under guys like Del Harris, dunleavy, rambis, even Magic Johnson (possibly the greatest PG of all time, I love the guy, but we all know not every player is fit to be a coach, nor commentator) that we were better off than we are now? We've got a legacy coach, a legacy player, and with the right supporting cast, Lakers will be getting redemption this season.

Looking forward to it! Are you?
Only a little more than 3 months to go. In the meanwhile, hope the summer games are all they're cracked up to be. I'll never forget the dream team of 92. The best era of basketball. Ever. Still love this game.

Ang sining ng pagkatuto: Minsan nagsisimula ito sa tugtog ng drum

Melisa — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:37:31 +0000

Ang mabuting tupa, nakikinig kay Mama.

Isang araw, lumilipad ang isip ko nung Grade 5 ako sa klase namin sa Math. Iniisip ko kase 'yung drum and lyre group ng school namin. Paano, gustung-gusto kong sumali bilang lyre player o kaya drummer kasi mahilig talaga ako sa music. 'Yung isang friend ko na kapitbahay namin, si Ate Mira, drummer siya dun kaya madalas akong manood ng practice nila.

Kaya habang nangangarap ako, hindi ko alam na kinakalampag ko na pala 'yung desk ko--na akala mo nandun talaga ako sa grupo at nagpra-practice.

Ta-da-dan tan-tan tan-tan-tan, ta-da-da-da-dan tan-tan tan-tan-tan, ta-da-da-da-dan tan-tan-tan-tan.

"Hoy, ikaw d'yan, miss! Huminto ang pagtugtog sa mga drum; napatingin ako at nagulat kung bakit nakatingin ang lahat sa akin.

"Member ka ba ng drum and lyre?" tanong ng ma'am namin, si Mrs. Guevarra.

"Hindi po, ma'am." Parang gusto kong mawalang parang bula, 'yun bang ora-mismo.

"Kung gano'n ba't ka nagpra-practice d'yan? Kanina ka pa nagdra-drum diyan a, inaabala mo ang klase."

Hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan ang araw na 'yon. Alam n'yo, ang pakiramdam ko nung oras na 'yon nakalunok ako ng isang buong drum.

DNA & Police Report

Balajoe — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:18:49 +0000

(DNA in huge "demand" – Image source: www.turbosquid.com)

Two entries in the internet, one in Malaysia Today (the obvious juicy one) and another in Malaysiakini, throws more doubt why the police (and the Government) are very insistent on a fresh DNA sample.

From Malaysia Today

The ‘evidence’ is ready. The semen specimen on Saiful’s underwear has been confirmed. The only problem would be if they allow an independent foreign expert to do an audit on the Chemistry Department’s findings, he or she might confirm that the specimen is ten years old and not dated 26 June 2008 as alleged.

So they need to exchange the September 1998 specimen with a new one dated July 2008. And that is why Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Syed Hamid Albar, and all those others, have asked Anwar to volunteer his new specimen. They need this new specimen to ‘prove’ that the semen on Saiful’s underwear is dated 26 June 2008 and not September 1998.

And Abdullah himself ‘confirmed’ this when he asked Anwar to volunteer his new specimen whereas the old specimen is good enough if it is just required for DNA profiling -- only that it would not pass the test if an independent foreign expert was to audit the Chemistry Department’s ‘evidence’ and then come out with a report that says the specimen is ten years old.

From Malaysiakini

The PM has been cheated. DNA degrades with time, but in perfect conditions it could last for several thousand years. It certainly would not last for millions of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years but certainly for a very short 10 years.

Researchers even retrieved DNA from the teeth of Neanderthal men, that's over 40,000 year-old teeth.

Read further here

Anwar during his rally in Malacca jokingly said this

“The police have my DNA & my blood, the police has accuser in safe custody, 2 x 5, 5 x 2…” (you make the necessary connections lah)

Conspiracies aside, the police may have their own valid reasons for fresh DNA but until they give Anwar the actual police report of the accusations, there is little creditability in their request.

As what Anwar’s lawyer said, to give police report is an “elementary natural justice” that an accused “should have sight of the accusation, before being called upon to explain anything”.

Sivarasa quoted in Malaysiakini, as saying:-

The First Information Report - a complaint lodged with the police by an alleged victim of a crime - is a public document and should be made available to all persons affected by the report.

“To continue to expect the target of a criminal investigation to answer questions, supply information, and provide evidence in total ignorance of the circumstances of the offence alleged against him, is eerily reminiscent of an episode where a prisoner was blindfolded and handcuffed, and therefore totally unable to defend himself in any way and was then viciously attacked by the police themselves.”

When Pak Lah asks why Anwar is afraid of giving fresh DNA sample, I believe that the same can be asked of the police – what is it that the police are afraid of giving the police report to Anwar? Most of the facts have already brought to the open and been publically discussed anyway.

No wonder Anwar is suspicious of the request for fresh DNA. Who wouldn't?

How do you cut a space?

Tanasije Gjorgoski — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 22:03:11 +0000

By cutting a line the only thing you can get is line segment. As much you cut, you never get to anything like a point. But, how do you cut a line if not at specific point? If there are no points, then there can be no line segments either.

By cutting a plane, the only thing you can get is plane segments. As much you cut, you never get to anything like a line (or curve). But how do you cut a plane, if there is no lines? If there are no lines, there are no plane segments.

Same goes for space.

What do the oil futures dealers know, that the economists don't know?

markcross — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 10:19:53 +0000

Background
If the deal which Rio Tinto did with two other major iron ore supplies recently to raise iron ore 70% together in the next year comes through without world government intervention, this will result in steel costs rising 40%. Thus acceleration recession and inflation. They are increasing their prices because although iron ore is actually cheap, digging it out of the ground depends on massive amounts oil energy, hence you can see their justification in hiking up their prices, why should governments expect iron ore supplies to get into financial trouble when their input costs are linked to oil prices?

Context
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=rio+tinto+iron+prices+70

Questions
Why if we are about to enter global recession or are ready in one, has the price of oil shot up in the first six months of 2008?

Surely in 6 months time (early 2009) oil demand will be lower, and therefore cause an over supply if production of manufactured good drops?

Should not the projected price of oil in the futures market for +6/+12 months actually be dropping because of recession?

Or are the oil futures dealers privy to other external information?

Christina Aguilera vs Andreea Banica

allexab — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 06:12:27 +0000

Amandoua sunt blonde, amandoua pot sustine, fara nici o problema un concert live si…amandoua sunt maritate.

Amandoua sunt sexi, una a fost Dirty si alta a fost Dulce si Amara si…nici una dintre ele nu-si arata varsta. Cu toate acestea, de ce am sa ma “leg” eu este de momentul in care amandoua au ales sa se casatoreasca.

In ceea ce o priveste pe Christina Aguilera, aceasta s-a schimbat foarte mult dupa nunta. Schimbarea se vede, atat in stilul vestimentar, cat si in cariera acesteia. Cantareata este mai sobra, clasica…imbracamintea chiar daca este scurta sau decoltata numai are acelasi aer copilaresc sau jucaus. Diferenta a fost semnalata in toata presa de peste ocean, mai mult decat atat, jurnalistii americani au spus ca “vinovat” pentru aceasta schimbare ar fi chiar sotul acesteia. Eu zic ca nu-i bai…a fost frumoasa si atunci, este si acum, iar talentul nu se duce daca schimbi stilistul.

Observand aceste asemanari intre cele doua, atunci cand am aflat de nunta Andreei Banica am zis …e clar, vine si o schimbare. Nu doar nunta, ce batea la usa, m-a facut sa cred asta. Andreea anuntase deja ca va canta cu band si observam si o schimbare drastica in stilul vestimentar…(as putea spune) pe modelul Christina Aguilera.

Surpriza…nu a fost asa. Desi atunci cand apare la diverse emisiuni Andreea abordeaza un alt stil vestimentar (vezi cea mai recenta aparitie la Happy Hour sau aparitia din emisiunea Rai da’ Buni), noul ei videoclip (Hooky Song - melodie cantata impreuna cu Smiley) imi contrazice “asteptarile”. Andreea e la fel de vesela si bine dispusa, la fel de jucausa in ceea ce priveste vestimentatia, iar clipul este foarte colorat. Se pare ca modelul Christina Aguilera nu s-a potrivit si in acest caz.

Sincer…mie imi place de amandoua si cred ca le-ar sta bine (aproape) oricum. Clipul este super…vesel, colorat, iar melodia sigur va prinde vara aceasta. Nu-i asa?

Uite si clipul, care apropos…a avut premiera la Maruta in emisiune si, in acelasi timp si pe eok.ro si monden info. Felicitari celor doua site-uri!!!
