Re: classical (and fun) experiments in psychoacoustics?
Thanks for the responses to my question about classical psychoacoustic
experiments suitable for an experimentation course! I?ll summarize
them here for everyone?s benefit:
Ward Drennan suggested Fletcher's noise-band experiment. - This is
indeed a classic, and easily implemented, too.
Pascale Lidji suggested I use consonants rather than vowels in a
categorical perception experiment, and also some of Diana Deutsch's
auditory illusions. - Illusions are always a classroom success; will
look into those. And I'll also come back to the offer of using some of
your stimuli. Merci!
Patrick Zurek from Sensimetrics pointed out that many such experiments
are part of a teaching tool called Auditory Interactivities. - Some
others also mentioned this tool, but I think I?ll stick to actual
research tools like Matlab, mainly because the time spent on those
will transfer directly
|
to the students? research projects later on.
Ingrid Johnsrude suggested an experiment on ITDs and sound
localization using some plastic hose and ear defenders (the hose is
pushed through two holes in the ear defenders, so that the subject has
a closed auditory environment, consisting of the space inside the
hose. The experimenter taps the hose with a pencil in various places
and the subject has to say whether they heard the tap on the right or
left or midline). - This is a great

Ok, I saw Foreigner on their very 1st tour (yeah I am most likely older than you!). They were fresh and exciting back then. 6 young guys bringing something fresh to the world. Years later after an incredible run of CLASSIC hits, Mick and Lou have gone their seperate ways. Lou has his band mostly of relatives (I can’t speak for their quality) and Mick has retained Jeff Jacobs on keyboards and added Jason Bonham on drums, Kelly Hansen of Hurricane on lead vocals, Thom Gimbel on rhythm guitar & sax, and Jeff Pilson on bass. I was so blown away by this CD that I now have frint row center tickets to see them this summer. WOW! I had heard that people seeing them last year didn;t know that 5 of the players weren’t original members but I was sceptical. This band ROCKS! Congrats Mick on keeping Foreigner alive.

THAILAND: Dehumanization and death in custody of a Thai citizen accused of lese majesty: The case of Amphon Tangnoppakul
Language(s): English only
HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL
Twentieth session, Agenda Item 4, General Debate
A written statement submitted by the Asian Legal Resource Centre (ALRC), a non-governmental organisation with general consultative status
On 8 May 2012, Mr. Amphon Tangnoppakul (also known to his family as "Ah Kong" or "grandfather," and to the public as "Uncle SMS"), a 61-year-old man, was found dead in prison custody. At the time of his death, Amphon was serving a 20-year sentence received upon being convicted of four violations under Article 112 of the Thai Criminal Code and the 2007 Computer Crimes Act in Black Case No. 311/2554 on 23 November 2011. Amphon was convicted for allegedly sending

four SMS messages to Mr. Somkiat Klongwattanasak, personal secretary of the former prime minister, Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva. These four SMS messages allegedly contained vulgar language defaming the Thai queen and insulting the honour of the monarchy. Amphon's conviction rested on questionable electronic evidence presented by the prosecution. The circumstances surrounding his death suggest the presence of

Just over one week ago, on August 13, 2011, Texas Governor Rick Perry announced that–officially–he wants to be President of the United States. People have been talking about the guy non-stop since then, and the information is frankly getting overwhelming.
So, we went ahead and saved you the trouble of sifting through all of the media hullabaloo. We’ve pieced together this non-definitive, but certainly very helpful, guide to the presidential hopeful’s history, policies, and beliefs. And if you don’t know what to think about him once you’re done reading, our contributors will be telling you what to think of him throughout the week. Here’s What You Need to Know About Rick Perry.
With U.S. unemployment an astounding 9.1 percent, Perry is weighing heavily on his promise to “get America working again.” Problem: the seemingly impressive Texas job statistics (37 percent of all net new jobs created in the United States in the last two years were in Texas, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas) he keeps citing are a smoke-screen:

Another meeting in the corporate world, another round of hooting, grunting, chest-thumping, and excrement-slinging-an endless supply of Dilbert material. But I leave the meeting struck by the disproportionate share of competitive, aggressive behavior that is exhibited by males.

Hmmm, assuming it's large with a courtyard possibly market stalls, with live chickens in cages, rabbits, dogs wandering freely, horses being led around and stalls of fruit and veg. No sanitation so buckets of water and waste would be tossed in the street, which would make it smelly.

The Lib Dem-Con coalition agreement states: "We will seek ways of taxing non-business capital gains at rates similar or close to those applied to income, with generous exemptions for entrepreneurial business activities." The Treasury's budget report states: "Effective from 23 June 2010, capital gains tax will rise from 18 to 28 per cent for those with total income and taxable gains above the higher rate threshold... Basic rate taxpayers will continue to pay an 18 per cent rate on their gains. The 10 per cent capital gains tax rate for entrepreneurial business activities will be extended from the first £2 million to the first £5 million of qualifying gains made over a lifetime... The 50p rate of income tax took effect from April 2010 and will remain in place for the time being."
Spot the difference? Of course you do. This means that the Tories have already reneged on the coalition agreement for the sake of their friends the haves, and will do so again if allowed to get away with it. Meanwhile social services are slashed, so that elderly and vulnerable people who yesterday were acknowledged to

need such services are today told they can't have them any more, which makes me choke.

In this Lawson agrees with Saint Vince of Twickenham

Going on the audience reaction to The Crucible's latest show, it's easy to see why Hobson's Choice has endured in popularity. The tale of a Salford shoe-shop owner coming to terms with his three daughters becoming young women is rich with the kind of characters and humour that endure, with a strong, familiar, Northern sensibility at its heart that raises much laughter from the audience.
This latest adaptation is carried admirably by Zoe Waites as the formidable Maggie, alongside a wonderful turn from Philip McGinley as Will Mossop, whose facial expressions are a delight and who manages to portray Will's bewilderment and growing confidence wonderfully throughout.

"TAMING OF SHREW" CURE FOR TOO MUCH FEMINISM
Miss Marlowe in Subdued Characterization; Mr. Sothern Seems to Enjoy His Part in Play
One's interest in the Sothern-Marlowe production of "The Taming of the Shrew" naturally gravitates towards Miss Marlowe, who, after threatened retirement from the stage, is this fall gratifying New York and Boston with another appearance in Shakespearean repertoire. The qualities which have gained her so many admirers, Miss Marlowe today exhibits as gloriously as in past years. One might charge that Katharina does not kick and stamp, box ears, and throw household furnishings with the vim that one expects of a celebrated virago. Miss Marlowe has, undoubtedly, given us a subdued characterization; when one has felt her subtle power to illuminate feminine irrationality, one does not regret the omission of the conventional rough and tumble.
Mr. Sothern's indomitable Petruchio is a match for twenty "lusty

wenches" of Katharina's temper. From the time he swaggers into Padua with his father's fortune "happily to wine and thrive" to his winning of the wager at Lucentio's banquet, the audience feels the enthusiastic optimism and tough-skinned common sense of this wife tamer. He seems to enjoy so thoroughly his own sermons and bombasts that we can

The White Rose Shopping Centre opened 15 years ago facing huge opposition amid fears it would do for Leeds what Meadowhall did for Sheffield. Now a proposed expansion is welcomed. Rod McPhee considers the incredible turnaround.
The fears that grew back in the mid 1990s when proposals for an out-of-town Leeds shopping centre first emerged were completely understandable.
Back in 1990, the arrival of a similar retail scheme on the edge of Sheffield spelt disaster for their city centre. And when the White Rose Centre opened its doors many believed it would sound a similar death knell for local businesses.
In theory it would have been bad enough for Leeds city centre, which was only just garnering its reputation as a “Knightsbridge of the North” thanks to the Victoria Quarter shopping centre and its prize tenant, Harvey Nichols, but the impact on the heart of Morley

In The Edge of Disaster, a security expert warns that the US is not prepared for future disasters
SITTING DUCK: The Norwegian-operated tanker Matthew regularly ferries 30 million tons of liquefied natural gas under the Tobin Bridge.
What follows is a scenario roughly based on two real-world post-9/11 terrorist attacks: one on the French oil tanker Limburg off the coast of Yemen in October 2002, the other on Iraq’s Khor Al-Amaya and al-Basra oil terminals in April 2004. The operating premise is this: terrorist operations that are undertaken on foreign shores will ultimately find their way to our shores. The characters are fictional, but they are based on the profiles of real individuals apprehended over the past two years by European authorities. All the details on the ports where the hypothetical attacks take place come from open-source information, nearly all of which can be found by way of searches on the Internet

|WC School board tables action on use of old Lebanon HS|
|Tuesday, January 8, 2013|
Special to The Chronicle
Wilson County Board of Education tabled the subject of using the former Lebanon High School facility on Harding Drive for a middle school at Monday night’s meeting.
Under the recommendation of Director of Schools Mike Davis, Chairman Don Weathers proposed to “defer any action” until the board can determine the best use of the facility. He added that parents, teachers and the public would be given “30 days’ notice” before action is taken in the future.
The motion passed with a 3-2 vote, with board members Wayne McNeese and Bill Robinson voting against it.
The subject was initially brought up during a school board meeting in late 2012 and received criticism from many parents and teachers at the three schools that would be affected – Southside Elementary, Carroll Oakland Elementary and Tuckers Crossroads Elementary. The original plan investigated using the Harding Drive facility for grades

Surface tablet's touch cover is ZX81 REBORN
Hands on with Redmond's Typoslab
FIRST FONDLE The Surface tablet's Touch Cover is eerily reminiscent of typing on a ZX81, The Register can report after fondling one of the elusive (to non Microsoft-adoring press) computers at the Australian launch of Windows 8.
To do so, we elbowed aside other media and scored a few minutes on a Surface running Windows RT. We were able to use both the Touch Cover and Type Cover and can report that both are decent input devices.
The Touch Cover, however, offers absolutely no tactile feedback, a sensation - or lack thereof - your correspondent cannot recall experiencing on a keyboard since last millennium when wrangling Sinclair's classic micro. Touch typing therefore produced results rather less accurate than your correspondent would produce on another unfamiliar

keyboard, but was still easier than working a ZX81.

ABC is about to cut 300 – 400 jobs. Why is that good news?
In my last post, I talked about the challenges facing local TV Stations. Shrinking audiences, new fees from the networks that used to pay them, competition from nearly everything electronic.
Yesterday news broke that ABC is about to cut 300 – 400 jobs. It’s not a surprising cut. Network news audiences are shrinking. There are too many other places to get news, in some cases, the same place the networks are getting theirs.

Yes, Anthony Weiner can make a political comeback. In fact, via the People magazine trial balloon, it's already under way. To the skeptics the following argument is made.
I have covered Weiner up close for more than 15 years, often interviewed him on live television on NY1 News, and even moderated a debate for mayor a few years back that included Weiner. (It was widely considered that Weiner won the four-way 2005 debate with his

personality and witty one-liners. Here is how the New York Times covered the debate.) The debate in effect ended the political career of City Council Speaker Gifford Miller with a lightning round of questions where candidates could only respond with a Yes or No answer, and started Weiner's rise to prominence in becoming a front runner for mayor. Fast forward to last week: I made the argument on RNN-TV (The Richard French Live Show) that Weiner is coming back, and even this week.
Weiner can't be elected mayor of New York right away. Democratic contenders for mayor would eat him alive with criticism. They would

Frank Ocean - The Wiltern - 7/17/12
Since nobody's talking about much else on the Internet right now, we won't bore you with too much background on Frank Ocean. He's a 24-year-old R&B singer aligned with Odd Future who lives in L.A., just released his first official album on Def Jam, and recently came out of the closet, more or less. Whereas at one time that may have been career suicide, it now looks like the savviest career move imaginable.
His new work, Channel Orange, is getting great reviews, and for what was essentially his hometown coming out party last night the line wrapped around the Wiltern. Ocean already had a strong fan base here. But the ticket prices for his show -- which ran for $150 to $300 on Craigslist -- were evidence of his superstar turn.
And you know what? All of the recent adoration proved to be well-deserved. Throughout his hour and a half long set, Ocean proved himself to have more than talent, but a unique vision and a knack for candor. (Also, Drake was there, so that's something.)
Ocean hit the stage just before 10, starting off with an intimate

cover of Prince's "When You Were Mine" and a stripped down version of "Summer Remains."
But with "Thinkin Bout You" his four-piece band joined him on stage, and the atmosphere quickly turned electric.

Pausing between his new single and fan-favorite "Novacane," Ocean explained he'd been in a car wreck earlier in the evening. Seemingly unsh

Although the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) only released its guidance on authentication for electronic banking in late October, Kevin Doyle saw the writing on the wall months earlier. Back in April, the NCUA examiners that regulate Harrisburg, Pa.-based Pennsylvania State Employees' Credit Union (PSECU; $2.3 billion in assets) began asking about how the bank intended to protect itself against phishing attacks, in which thieves entice bank customers to relinquish their Web banking passwords. The credit union had recently signed up with Cyota's (New York) FraudAction service, which offers preventative measures against phishing attacks.
But then, the examiners also asked about stronger measures. "They actually started asking questions about what we're going to do with authentication," says Doyle, PSECU's information security manager. As a result, Doyle relates, he began to explore the topic in depth.
That led him
|
to ink another deal with Cyota in early October to perform analysis of online banking transactions to assess fraud risk. Thus, Doyle's organization was ready when the FFIEC announced two weeks later that it considered "single-factor authentication, as the only control mechanism, to be inadequate for high-risk transactions involving access to customer information or the movement of funds to other parties."
"I guess I could see it coming," Doyle says.

So, do you harbor a desire of being a SEO guru? Well, first of all you should understand that change is inevitable and especially on the online business scene, it occurs extremely rapidly. Look at the case of Web 2.0. Soon after the launch of Web 2.0, talks were already abuzz that Web 3.0 was on its way too. SEO was considered to be dead but this was far from the truth according to online pundits who considered it to be alive as well as kicking. Professionals were changing hats in a state of panic. There were marketers of the white hat type, black hat type, SEO's of the grey hat type and so on.
The questions that commonly pop up in all budding SEO gurus are:
What makes keyword density so much important?
Is content the most important thing of an article?
At times it may be a PPC campaign while at other times it may be organic ranking generated through various blogging links which may score over PPC campaign in the marketing specialist's preferences. Today, one more thing has come up. It's the articles. It can get really difficult to keep your perspectives straight when so much is going around you.

Last night the Senate refused to end $2 billion worth of subsidies to oil companies. These companies are poised, according to the bill’s chief sponsor, Democrat Robert Menendez of New Jersey, to make $144 billion in profits this year. It was never a bill that had a chance of getting the 60 votes needed to cut off debate (it fell eight votes short). Aside from that, the House of Representatives never would have passed it. And aside from that, it was

likely unconstitutional because bills that raise revenue must originate in the House.
The vote took place largely so the Democrats could make campaign ads saying that Republicans voted to protect the oil industry. But its failure once again puts on display the central fact of this season’s budget battle: Republican psychosis on the question of revenue.

Domain-driven design (DDD) is an approach to develop software for complex needs by connecting the implementation to an evolving model. The premise of domain-driven design is the following:
- Placing the project's primary focus on the core domain and domain logic.
- Basing complex designs on a model of the domain.
- Initiating a creative collaboration between technical and domain experts to iteratively refine a conceptual model that addresses particular domain problems.
- Domain: A sphere of knowledge (ontology), influence, or activity. The subject area to which the user applies a program is the domain of the software.
- Model: A system of abstractions that describes selected aspects of a domain and can be used to solve problems related to that domain.
- Ubiquitous Language: A language structured around the domain model and used by all team members to connect all the activities of

the team with the software.
- Context: The setting in which a word or statement appears that determines its meaning.
Prerequisites for the successful application of DDD
- The domain is not trivial

Man discusses ‘dilemma’ of cats, birds
By Scott E. Williams
The Daily News
GALVESTON — Jim Stevenson, president of the Galveston Ornithological Society, loves birds.
Aside from leading a birdwatching group on the island, he has written four books about feathered wildlife, including one about his quest to see 5,000 species of birds around the world.
However, Stevenson now faces a charge of animal cruelty, accused of illegally shooting cats on the west end of the isle.
Stevenson, 53, left jail Friday after posting $10,000 bond. After his release, he told The Daily News he would likely comment on the case, but not until later this week
|
after he had conferred with his attorney.
However, Stevenson did discuss what happened near the San Luis Pass bridge last week in a post on the Texbirds online message board.
He wrote that Tuesday night, he saw a feral cat on the west end, "creeping up on three snowy and two piping plovers, and several sanderlings."
Stevenson wrote that he tried unsuccessfully to capture the cat. However, the next morning, he saw it and several other cats in the area,

American authors and online merchants are urging Congress to boost protection of intellectual property on the Internet, claiming huge losses from theft and fraud - much of it originating outside the United States.
American novelist Scott Turow has written numerous best-selling legal thrillers. He appeared on Capitol Hill last week to testify about the online theft of his latest work, Innocent.
"Within the first week or two that it was available for sale, I had friends inform me that there were pirated versions of my book available [on the Internet] at a fraction of the price, which legitimate venues were selling," noted Turow.
Also appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee was the chief of Rosetta Stone, a U.S. foreign language instruction company whose courses can be purchased online. Tom Adams said a Google search of Rosetta Stone will yield dozens of Internet websites mimicking Rosetta Stone and selling pirated or fabricated versions of its materials.
"None of these are legitimate website home pages of rosettastone.com, although they look very similar," said Adams. "The entire purpose of these websites is to deceive the U.S. consumer."
Adams said Rosetta Stone regularly gets calls from angry consumers complaining about faulty products they unwittingly purchased from counterfeiters and Internet pirates.

Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy said intellectual property theft on the Internet is pervasive and costly.

Everyone knows la douce France: the France of wonderful food and wine, beautiful landscapes, splendid châteaux and cathedrals. More tourists (60 million a year) visit France than any country in the world by far. Indeed, the Germans have a saying, not altogether reassuring for the French: to live as God in France.

The Oscar For The Best Supporting Role Goes To...
The little woman! Applause, please.
A long time ago I read about movies and television sitcoms containing about twice as many men as women. The reality, if you remember, contains slightly more women than men in this country, and lots of those women are -- gasp! -- over fifty years old. But in movies and sitcoms we only need one woman over fifty, at most, to play the mother of the hero.
We might need some younger mothers, naturally, and we certainly need some younger women to play the good-and-sexy (in a subdued way) girlfriend/wife and the bad-and-sexy (in a flamboyant way) seductress. That is about the sum of female roles, because "female" means that these roles are viewed as supporting the story of the male hero, and there are not that many ways to do that within the framework of "female". Mother

I mentioned that I read the story a long time ago, and things have changed a little since then. Not much, but a little. Now we have what is called "chick movies", but nobody, as far as I know, calls the other types of movies, the most common ones, "stud movies".
The concept of a "supporting role" strikes me as very apt for much of the cultural discussion of women, even today

Bears re-enacted the Battle of Mactan on Friday killing Magellan (NYSE:MMP) after weeks of toying with their prey. The income staple gave up more than half of its annual yield equivalent (2.51% of 5% annual) on an otherwise good day for energy. Income-generating energy sector peers NuStar Energy (NYSE:NS), Holly Energy (NYSE:HEP), Blueknight Energy (NASDAQ:BKEP), TransMontaigne (NYSE:TLP), Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMP), and Genesis Energy (NYSE:GEL) dodged the beating and there was little news of import. For weeks sellers greeted Magellan with a none-shall-pass blockade at the 69 level. Friday's selloff accelerated as the day wore on and bulls gradually seemed to abandon their weeks-long buying campaign, the stock finally settling at 67.23.
Perhaps once it was apparent bears were not going to let this stock get to 70 some buyers lost interest in supporting the stock. Especially the

ones with call options to buy 54,400 units at $70, almost a quarter of the average daily trading volume of 230,000. Especially because Friday was the last trading day before those options expired. (Source: ETrade)

For starters, the decor - bright orange and yellow walls, shiny wooden floors and tables, soothing white paper lamps - and a clean, bright space does a good job of getting patrons in the door.
On a warm summer Wednesday evening, a family of four dines on the patio, under warm orange umbrellas. Inside, couples, groups of friends and families happily graze on noodles and curries, their pleasant chatter (not music) filling the atmosphere.
Cuisine takes its cues from the northern traditions of Thailand, which means plenty of fresh herbs and spices, and a wallop of menu choices. Dishes range from exotic Northern Thai specialties kow soy (egg noodles with choice of meat in coconut soup), to mussel fritters ($6.50), sole fish in hot and sour soup with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and roasted rice powder.
Forty Thai dishes cover a range of options in the chicken, salmon, red snapper, tiger prawn, fish ball and frog leg categories. In the Over Rice and Fried Rice category, Chinese broccoli (always a good sign at a

Thai joint) gets attention: it comes accompanied by salty fish over rice with fried egg ($6.50), or alongside crispy pork over rice with fried egg ($6.50).

Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama's campaign of trying to link him to Rep. Todd Akin's statements about rape and abortion, calling that a sad new low in the bitter election race while conceding that controversy over the remarks is hurting the Republican Party.
Romney's comments were broadcast Sunday as Republicans poured into Florida prepared to cram four days of nominating convention events into three because of the threat caused by Tropical Storm Isaac.
Railing about a Democratic campaign they cast as harshly negative — as the Democrats say about the GOP — Romney and Republicans sought to reach out to female voters and Hispanics — two voting blocs that polls show favor Obama. Top Republicans said it was crucial that the party broaden its appeal for the November election and for longer-term political viability.
Akin's remarks dogged the GOP as delegates and party officials gathered in this Florida city nervously eyeing overcast skies for the impending storm. Republicans scrambled to reconfigure
|
their schedule, postponing the bulk of events that had been scheduled for Monday's opening.
Akin is the GOP Missouri Senate candidate who said women's bodies have ways of avoiding pregnancy from a "legitimate" rape. Romney and other GOP leaders have criticized those statements and urged Akin to drop out of the Senate race.
Asked in an interview, recorded earlier, on "Fox News Sunday" about what the questioner said were Obama campaign efforts

World Country High Points

The list of country high points is one of the most fundamental highpoint lists that can be generated. However, there are two main difficulties with coming up with a master list of the world's nation summits. The first is defining a consistent, reliable list of countries--on this web site, an attempt was made to do just that (Click here for a detailled explanation of how the list of 247 countries was generated). The second issue is that many countries are very low-lying and have no discernable mountains or hills at all. This is a particular problem for many countries made up of coral atolls.
This list represents my best attempt to come up with a comprehensive list of 249 country high

No body in particular can be attributed as the inventor of MUSIC. Music was there since the beginning... in the form of chirping of the birds, water flowing down a waterfall, swaying of branches in breeze, baying of animals. Man learned about Music from nature.
Your vote on this answer has already been received
Music has been around since before humans came into existence.
Music was never invented; Birds sing, water drips, leaves rustle, fire crackles, and so on. It might be better to ask, \"Who first realized that the world is so filled with music?\"
No one knows. Caveman used to make music.
Pope Gregory the First wrote music around 600 AD
Music wasn\'t \"invented\" only discovered. Everyone hums, taps, beats, etc. Early indians created music. Music goes as far back as human existence.

NOTICE – NEW LICENSING REQUIREMENTS!
Effective July 1, 2010, insurance producer pre-license education requirements will consist of 20 hours per major line of authority.
Kaplan Financial Education helps you meet the new requirement with four new 20-hour classes and two combined classes:
For more information about the new education requirements please call our office at (651) 523-1070 or 1-888-523-1070.
These courses are currently pending approval by the MN Department of Commerce. We are not allowed to offer them until they are approved. We do plan to hold classes on a weekly basis as soon as possible and will post a detailed schedule to this page immediately once approval is received.
Insurance Licensing Requirements
The two most common types of insurance licenses in Minnesota are the Life, Accident and Health and Property and Casualty licenses. The type of license you need depends on the type of insurance you wish to sell.
The Life, Accident and Health license authorizes an individual to sell life insurance and health coverage such as medical expense policies, hospitalization coverages, disability income policies and others.
The Property and Casualty license
|
is required of individuals planning to sell personal lines such as automobile coverage, homeowners insurance and renters insurance. A Property and Casualty agent may also sell commercial coverages such as building and business personal property insurance, and workers' compensation coverage.
Many people obtain both licenses. This enables them to sell all types of insurance. Each license has its own educational requirement and its own specialized exam.
All new applicants are required to take a 30-hour course called Insurance Principles. In addition, you must complete a Basics course for each license you wish to obtain. Our 30-hour Insurance

Actually I'm only giving you a tut on the actual logo for the band which is pretty cool too. Motionless in White is what you call a metalcore band that plays music very much like gothic metal or dark rock. They are a band from Scranton Pennsylvania that formed back in 2005 which is pretty cool because that is the place where one of my all time favorite sitcoms take place 'The Office'. Their music is very dark, and their lyrics have a very horrid tone to them. The logo was pretty neat to replicate because of the thick chunky letters surrounded by a circle. It almost looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland. I don't

All of the members are very visually striking, and maybe I will upload a tut on one of the band mates later in the future. For now have fun drawing Motionless in White.

Another Interesting Atheist vs. Christian Exchange...
Recently, I had another discussion, with another Christian, on a popular religion-oriented message board. It revolved around my recent essay, “The Heartache of Loss,” and my contention within it that religion, while a source of comfort for believers, is not actually true. I do not have verbatim quotes from the Christian with whom I was debating because I had posted my original essay on an atheists-only board at the forum; shortly after my final response, which is published here, the moderators deleted all the Christian’s posts because of that rule violation. However, before sharing my response, I will convey the Christian’s arguments as fairly and accurately as possible.
We had a few very brief exchanges during which period the Christian basically was feeling me out, and getting a sense of the degree to which I reject his faith. When I said something along the lines of, “I know religion is not real,” he posted the

following arguments:
1. The type of prayer I describe in “The Heartache of Loss” is not legitimate, but rather a straw man description given by one who does not understand religion. He said he knows nobody who prays the way I describe in that piece.

Mike Gundy may be replacing another coordinator this offseason.
Reports of Bill Young's firing began swirling around the Internet late Wednesday when Pete Roussel of coachingsearch.com cited unnamed sources in reporting that Young will not return to OSU next season. Added Roussel in a Twitter post, “Look for (Mike) Gundy to promote Glenn Spencer.”
Spencer, who coaches linebackers, has been a co-defensive coordinator since the 2011 season. He called the defensive plays in several games this year in Young's absence due to health issues — one of which games included OSU's 59-38 drubbing by Arizona.
There has been no official word on Young’s status. Athletic department spokesman could not confirm if the coachingsearch.com report is true.
Young received support from his players following OSU's blowout of Purdue in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. Young had stated after the game that he intended to return to OSU "if they'll have me, I'll be back."
“Coach Young is a great coach and we’ve got to have him back another year because next year we feel like is going to be our year,” sophomore linebacker Lyndell Johnson said. “We know it’s
