<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>fällt dir noch etwas ein?</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">wozu?</span></p>
<p>na, zu dieser sendung? zu "LESEN!"? ausgestrahlt 4.7.2008, aufgezeichnet 27.6.2008 ... und wir waren teil des publikums in der kölner kinderoper, wo es aufgezeichnet wird.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">die diskutieren da im internet drüber?</span></p>
<p>.... dass elke so schnell spricht?</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">ja, es gibt viele menschen, die das stört.</span></p>
<p>mich stört es auch: sie hetzt ... durch den parcours.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">ich glaube, sie hat das gefühl, sie müsste in der halben stunde möglichst viele bücher durchhecheln.</span></p>
<p>30 min. sind nicht viel.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">sie bräuchte mehr.</span></p>
<p>würde sie dann langsamer reden?</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">nein, sie würde noch mehr bücher durchhecheln.</span></p>
<p>vielleicht steht sie in der pflicht.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">von der buchindustrie?</span></p>
<p>oder von den buchautoren und -autorinnen. es geht um geld, einnahmen, bares, kapital, profit.<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">aber was hat das mit literatur zu tun?</span></p>
<p>was? die einnahmen?</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">nein, das durchhecheln.</span></p>
<p>eher nichts - aber es gibt ja auch schnell-leser.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">und schnellschreiber .... kennst du diesen klau&#124;s&#124;ens = zweitklausens, der ...?</span></p>
<p>aber das sind doch wir!</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">dann brauchen auch wir mehr sendezeit.</span></p>
<p>meinst du nicht, die homepage sei schon genug: <a href="http://www.klausens.com/klausens_und_elke_heidenreich_und_lesen.htm" target="_blank">www.klausens.com/klausens_und_elke_heidenreich_und_lesen.htm</a><a href="http://www.klausens.com/klausens_und_elke_heidenreich_und_lesen.htm"><br />
</a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">... wenn du endlich alle gedichte auch abtippen würdest.</span> <span style="font-weight:bold;">bislang hast du erst drei geschafft.</span></p>
<p>ich bin leider kein schnelltipper! (hast du das nicht gelesen?)</p>

<description><![CDATA[What you will need:
~The ASCII Character Table (available here: http://www.asciitable.com)
~A notebo]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">What you will need:</span></span></span></p>
<p>~<span style="font-style:italic;">The ASCII Character Table</span> (available here: <a href="http://www.asciitable.com/">http://www.asciitable.com</a>)<br />
~<span style="font-style:italic;">A notebook or text editor</span><br />
~<span style="font-style:italic;">A calculator</span><br />
~<span style="font-style:italic;">Patience</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Goal:</span></span></span><br />
~<span style="font-style:italic;">To successfully 'translate' ordinary text into binary of course!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Process:</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:180%;">Step 1.</span> - Write out the text that you wish to translate.  Let's use the example 'Fuzzy Wuzzy'.  We want 'Fuzzy Wuzzy' to appear as:</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Fuzzy Wuzzy</span></p>
<p>Got it?</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:180%;">Step 2.</span> - Using the ASCII table, locate the characters one by one. Use the 'decimal' value for each character (usually charted as 'dec.'). F (<span style="font-style:italic;">capital</span> 'F' no less!), u, z, z, y, (space!), W (capitalized), u, z, z, y.</p>
<p>So we have:</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">F</span> = 70<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">u</span> = 117<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">z </span>= 122<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">z</span> = 122<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">y </span>= 121<br />
(<span style="font-weight:bold;">space</span>) = 32<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">W</span> = 87<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">u</span> = 117<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">z </span>= 122<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">z</span> = 122<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">y</span> = 121</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:180%;">Step 3.</span> - <span style="font-style:italic;">Understand what a </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">byte</span><span style="font-style:italic;"> is</span>.  A byte is essentially eight <span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">bits</span>.  A bit in binary is a <span style="font-weight:bold;">1</span> or a <span style="font-weight:bold;">0</span>.  1 represents an '<span style="font-style:italic;">affirmative/yes</span>' and 0 represents a '<span style="font-style:italic;">negative/no</span>'.  Now, a byte looks like this:</p>
<p>00000000 (<span style="font-style:italic;">Eight</span> places...<span style="font-style:italic;">eight</span> bits)</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:180%;">Step 4.</span> - <span style="font-style:italic;">Understand how numbers are indicated in binary</span>. Numbers are indicated in binary essentially by using an eight-bit byte with '1's as 'markers'. In a byte, each bit 'position' carries a value. The positions are read from <span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">right to left</span>.</p>
<p>A byte ----&#62;  00000000</p>
<p>Bit positions and values:</p>
<p><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_KBpAiLOXyA4/SEIrtVRGWTI/AAAAAAAAACA/WgJAb7Csaos/s1600-h/bitvalues.jpg"><img style="float:left;cursor:pointer;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_KBpAiLOXyA4/SEIrtVRGWTI/AAAAAAAAACA/WgJAb7Csaos/s320/bitvalues.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-style:italic;">*Notice that each new position's value increases x2. Also notice that the position the furthermost left is usually left without a value.</span></p>
<p>Now that you understand the values of each bit position, you need to understand how a number is actually indicated.</p>
<p>If the number you're after is, say, '4'...you indicate it in binary by placing a '1' in the bit position that indicates '4'. In this case, it is the third place from the right in the byte:</p>
<p>00000100</p>
<p>If it was an odd number, you would simply use '1's to 'add up' to the number in question. If the number was '15' for example, you would use the values of the bit positions (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64) to find the number.</p>
<p>We can indicate '8' + '4' + '2' + '1' to achieve the value of '15'. Marking each value position with a '1', we indicate '15' as follows:</p>
<p>00001111</p>
<p><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Step 5.</span></span> - <span style="font-style:italic;">Write out your character values in binary!</span> Now that you know how to 'add', find all of your character values (the decimal values of each 'letter' and space in your word or words) and indicate them in binary:</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">F</span> = 70 (70 = 64 + 4 + 2 therefore <span style="font-weight:bold;">01000110</span>)<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">u</span> = 117 (117 = 64 + 32 + 16 + 4 + 1 therefore <span style="font-weight:bold;">01110101</span>)<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">z </span>= 122 (122 = 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 2 therefore <span style="font-weight:bold;">01111010</span>)<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">z</span> = 122 (Repeat as above)<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">y </span>= 121 (121 = 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 1 therefore <span style="font-weight:bold;">01111001</span>)<br />
(<span style="font-weight:bold;">space</span>) = 32 (32 = 32 therefore <span style="font-weight:bold;">00100000</span>)<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">W</span> = 87 (87 = 64 + 16 + 4 + 2 + 1 therefore <span style="font-weight:bold;">01010111</span>)<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">u</span> = 117 (Repeat as for 'u' in <span style="font-style:italic;">Fuzzy </span>above)<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">z </span>= 122 (Repeat as for 'z' in <span style="font-style:italic;">Fuzzy </span>above)<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">z</span> = 122 (Repeat as above)<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">y</span> = 121 (Repeat as for 'y' in <span style="font-style:italic;">Fuzzy</span> above)</p>
<p>So now we have the complete list of binary translations for each of our characters:</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">F</span> = 01000110<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">u</span> = 01110101<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">z</span> = 01111010<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">z </span>= 01111010<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">y</span> = 01111001<br />
(<span style="font-weight:bold;">space</span>) = 00100000<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">W</span> = 01010111<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">u</span> = 01110101<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">z</span> = 01111010<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">z</span> = 01111010<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;">y</span> = 01111001</p>
<p><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Step 6.</span></span> - <span style="font-style:italic;">String them all together!</span> Now that we have our binary 'translations' for each of our characters, we will want to string them all together into a buffer! Our finished name, <span style="font-style:italic;">Fuzzy Wuzzy</span>, in binary becomes:</p>
<p>01000110011101010111101001111010011110010</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--StartFragment--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Often she wondered why she should bother. I mean if the men in her life didn’t get it, why should she have to spell it out? Why should she have to guide them and, infact, why should she waste her energy even writing them notes? Did she really care? The answer was obviously, as she was still writing, thinking, explaining… But was the one she truly cared about really that deluded? She thought that she had made herself clear over a number of things, and was grown up enough to realise that the person you have children to is not necessarily the person you will stay with; that being a lover does not necessarily mean that you want to live with that person….yet. Sometimes it is possible to share a partnership, not in a ménage a trios, but in a circumstantial situation caused by the above. She was worried that he did not share the same values as her, and misinterpreted her need for a real relationship borne out of a need for trust with one of jealous ownership. The fact that she was pissed off with him was nothing to do with the fact that he lived with someone else, but the fact that he did not have the guts to take a chance and say what he really wanted….did not have the guts to meet her when he should have. She did not want him to come to her because he needed ‘rescued’ and needed somewhere to stay… how unsexy. She wanted him to come to her because he needed her, trusted her, appreciated her. She cared for him, needed him and wanted his body beside her, close to her. She did not want the domestic drudge of making him fit into another culture, home and family situation, but wanted him to appreciate what they could have when the opportunity presented itself. Above all she did not want to be hidden, but be part of his life on an equal footing with the ‘other’ person in his life, whether the ‘other’ knew or not she didn’t care, but did not want to be brushed under the carpet as some stupid bit on the side. She wanted permanence on a part-time footing until she was in a position to offer more. If he could not offer her what she needed then she had made the decision to move on and find someone who did not resort to cowardly ways… find someone else who single, was was willing to take a chance and trust the way that they felt, someone who could trust their instinct, and above all someone who respected the connection that like-mindedness brings.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Exklusiv:</strong></span><br />
Der erste Tag der <strong>ESWC Masters</strong> des Quake 3 Turniers in Paris ist vorbei,  der wohl namhafteste Quake 3 Events seit der <em>ESWC 2004.</em> Das Comeback von drei 1v1-Weltmeistern:<span> </span><em>John</em> „<strong>Zero4</strong>“ <em>Hill</em>, <em>Paul</em> „<strong>czm</strong>“ <em>Nelson</em> und PK-Meister <em>Sander</em> „<strong>VoO</strong>“ <em>Kaasjager</em>, sowie der junge Pole <em>Maciek</em> „<strong>av3k</strong>“ <em>Krzykowski</em> und <strong>ESWC 2006</strong> Runner-Up <em><strong>Alexei </strong></em>„<strong>Cypher</strong>“<span> </span><em>Yanushevsky</em>, waren die Garanten dafür, dass dieses Turnier wie eine Bombe in der Quake Szene einschlagen wird. In meinen Augen war der erste Tag dieses Turnier die beste Erinnerung an die „<em>guten alten Zeiten</em>“, sodass ich gleich meine Gedanken in diesem Journal loswerden möchte. Die <strong>ESWC Masters </strong>sollten uns einen Vorgeschmack auf den Grand Final im August geben, ich mache mir aber Sorgen, das solche Masters ein Grand Final überblenden könnten!</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Die Augen der deutschen Zuschauer waren auf den letzten internationalstarken deutschen Quake Spieler <em>Marcel </em>„<strong>k1llsen</strong>“ <em>Paul </em>gerichtet.<span> </span>Hoch motiviert und unglaublich selbstsicher zeigte er sich in einem <a href="http://www.readmore.de/index.php?cont=articles&#38;id=4264">Interview</a> auf <a href="http://www.readmorde.de">readmore.de</a>, und nicht umsonst, denn in seinem ersten Spiel gegen den PK-Weltstar <strong>Vo0 </strong>holte sich Marcel auf drei Maps einen sicheren Sieg und zeigte, dass er vor den großen Namen in seiner Todesgruppe C überhaupt keine Angst hat. Doch das Glück war nicht auf seiner Seite, die Maus spielte verrückt und ohne Ersatz musste <em>Marcel </em>das Turnier vorzeitig verlassen… Sehr enttäuschend für die deutschen Fans, die so heiß darauf waren ihren Vertreter gegen solche Größen wie <strong>Zero4 </strong>und <strong>czm </strong>spielen zu sehen. Doch spätestens jetzt weiß Marcel, dass sein Talent und Selbstsicherheit allein für seine Traumtätigkeit als Pro-Gamer nicht ausreichend sind.<span> </span>Organisationstalent, Umgang mit Krisensituationen und vieles mehr gehören zu einem Pro-Gamer-Job. Eine Chance hat er noch und zwar auf dem <strong>ESWC Grand Final</strong> in <em>San Jose</em>. Mal schauen, ob er da nicht zwei Mäuse mitnehmen wird.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Die Österreicher hingegen dürfen auf ihren neuen Quake Star <em>Richard </em>„<strong>noctis</strong>“ <em>Gansterer</em>, der vor einer Woche sich bereits einen GF Slot auf dem <strong>ESWC Austria</strong> erspielte, stolz sein.<span> </span>Mit vier Siegen und nur einer knappen Niederlage gegen <em>Zhibo </em>„<strong>RazerJ</strong> (bzw. <strong>Jibo</strong>)“ <em>Fan</em>, qualifizierte sich der Österreicher für die Playoffs und wurde somit den offiziellen Seedings gerecht. Dort jedoch musste er sich nach drei Maps dem ehemaligen F-Player <em>Magnus</em> „<strong>fox</strong>“ <em>Olsson</em> geschlagen geben und die Masters mit einer Top-8 Platzierung verlassen. Jetzt bleiben ihm noch einige Wochen Zeit bis zum Grand Final um den Turnier zu analysieren und die gewonnene Erfahrung in San Jose richtig einzusetzen.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Die beiden wie aus der Asche auferstandenen Amerikaner <strong>Zero4 </strong>und <strong>czm </strong>wurden nach einer erfolgreich überstandener Gruppenphase schließlich von den jungen osteuropäischen Profis <strong>av3k </strong>und <strong>Cypher </strong>wieder zurück nach Amerika geschickt. Besonders nennenswert ist der Sieg<span> </span>vom <strong>av3k </strong>über <strong>Zero4</strong>. Der Pole hatte bisher große Schwierigkeiten beim Umstieg vom Quake4 zurück zu Quake3,<span> </span>die spätestens jetzt der Vergangenheit angehören. Jedoch so schnell werden wir uns von den zwei Amerikanern nicht verabschieden, denn insgesamt gab es bei diesem Turnier <em>drei </em>ESWC Slots zu gewinnen und von 8 Spielern die die Playoffs erreicht haben, sind vier für den Grand Final bereits qualifiziert. <strong>Cypher </strong>und <strong>RazerJ </strong>bekommen die ersten 2 Slots,<span> </span>ob <strong>Zero4 </strong>oder <strong>czm </strong>den letzten Slot bekommen wird, ist noch unklar.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Der Sonntag beginnt für uns mit einer heißen Begegnung zwischen <strong>av3k </strong>und <strong>Cypher</strong>. Die Beiden kennen sich sehr gut aus den <em>Quake 4 Zeiten</em> und werden uns ein spannendes Duel zu Beginn des zweites Tages liefern. Im zweiten Aufeinandertreffen erwartet uns ein Klassiker - <strong>RazerJ</strong> (aka <strong>Jibo</strong>) gegen <strong>Fox</strong>, auch bekannt als <strong>fojji</strong>. Während im ersten Duell <strong>Cypher </strong>als klarer Favorit gilt, ist zwischen den alten Quake Hasen <strong>Jibo </strong>und <strong>Fox </strong>noch alles offen. Es verspricht also ein zweiter heißer Quake Tag zu werden, wir sehen uns im GTV! ;-)</p>
<p>Das war's von mir, mit besten Grüßen<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got it!</p>
<p>Finally, a response from all my hard work.  After countless "no's" and endless shut-down's, a text chimed in at 2:43pm on Sunday afternoon with a positive gesture.  "hey i think i have sun night or tuesday night off work if u still wanna hang out."  Could I be so lucky?  What was it that I said that makes her want to hang out with this goober.  It doesn't make sense to me.  I am way too excited to even type this "progress report."</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay so lets get started. My name is Domino and right now this is the closest thing I've got to journalism. This blog contains basically everything, hence its title: Everyting Et al. In case you're wondering, Et al is some sort of foreign language abbreviation that means "and all the rest." It's a joke...get it?</p>
<p>So for my first post lets start off with a great tragedy. I was rejected. Full on, whole-heartedly rejected. So I think. There's this (there was this) girl, her name was Sarah (not really, but from now on I'm changing names). We used to go the to same High School until she left halfway through grad 8. But she still remained friends with one of my friends, which I was unaware of until the beginning of this year.Anyway the point of the matter is that she gave me her number about a month ago when I unexpectedly ran into her at a bus stop one morning. We did the small talk thing and then I got her number. So yeah I didn't text her for a month. I know; heartless right? I sent the completely wrong message. So now I've screwed it up.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n36/n180198.jpg" alt="I\'m a hopeless romantic" width="316" height="483" /></p>
<p>I texted her yesterday afternoon, I was like: "Hey Sarah soz about the late txting, how ur holidays been?"</p>
<p>She replied with: "Hey my holidays have been great what about yours?"</p>
<p>I sent back: "Yea not too bad, lots of sleeping in and spending money, I've spent 250 so far lol."</p>
<p>Then nothing. Complete and utter rejection. THIS ISN'T HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!!! It was supposed to be oh yea great wanna see a movie? Yeah sure, then I ask her out and I finally have a girlfriend!! But no. It'd didn't happen. So I'm currently sitting around thinking what do I do? Do I text her? Do I text her asap? Do I wait a couple of weeks? Do I wait for her to text me? Do I never text her again? I have no clue, and I fear that I never will. Bugger.</p>
<p>That's it for today; now you know as much as I know.</p>
<p>Domino.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Suntem in masina. Tu conduci. Te iau de mana si te strang puternic. Ma strangi si mai tare si incepi]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Suntem in <em>masina</em>. Tu conduci. Te iau de mana si te strang puternic. Ma strangi si mai tare si incepi sa imi mangai degetele care se gasesc deja impreunate cu ale tale. <em>Bratele</em> noastre se infasoara ca niste sfori, se inoada, sangele se zvarcoleste, venele zvacnesc insa noi ne incolacim. Ne incolacim pana cand bratele noastre devin unul singur si putem continua contopirea. Ma <em>atingi</em> usor si incerci sa descoperi degetele mele subtiri si fragile. Opresti masina. Te apropii si incep sa iti aud rasuflarea. <em>Muzica</em> se opreste si rasuflarea ta domina spatiul care e acum al nostru. E puternica si plina de dorinta. Te apropii de mine si incerci sa imi prinzi <strong>buzele</strong> intr-un joc dar nu le atingi. <em>Te uiti</em> in ochii mei intens si vrei sa inteleg ca ma iubesti, ca iti plac, ca iti doresti sa fii cu mine, ca ma doresti. Vrei ca eu sa stiu astea fara sa le rostesti. Vrei ca eu eu sa stiu astea inainte sa te apropii si sa imi prinzi buzele cu dintii tai incinsi in joc. Imi musti usor buza de jos. Incepi sa ma saruti si buzele noastre zvacnesc a dorinta. Aerul e putin uscat insa noi suntem plini de pasiune si ne contopim in acest <em>sarut</em>. Scancim, zvacnim, gemem si oprim <em>timpul</em> pentru secunde, minute, ani, secole, milenii, milenii. Stiu ca ce se intampla acum nu o sa imi ia nimeni niciodata. Chiar daca tu <em>nu</em> o sa <em>mai vrei</em>, o sa te sperii si o sa fugi, o sa te plictisesti sau o sa crezi ca nu mai vrei, <em>am avut</em> deja momentul asta si nimeni nu il ia din noi, nici macar nu putem sa il mai smulgem de unde s-a infiripat. E <em>intens</em> si nu ai vrea sa te opresti, nu ai vrea sa se termine, nu ai vrea sa treci mai departe. Te uiti in <em>ochii mei</em> si oftezi de parca ai vrea sa fii si mai aproape de mine, sa intri in mintea mea si sa imi controlezi miscarile. Ne sincronizam fiecare miscare si asta se simte bine, stii ca vrei sa faci asta.. Simt niste fiori atunci cand cobori cu <em>limba ta</em> vascoasa si fierbinte pe gatul meu. Iti simt respiratia si incerc sa opresc timpul, sa il prind si sa il opresc. Terenul incins s-a mutat pe gatul meu, iti mista limba frenetic, desenezi si lasi urme usoare de <em>apa</em>. Darele de <em>transpiratie</em> se scurg de pe tamplele tale pe pieptul meu. Incepi sa urci cu varful limbii spre ureche si ma faci sa tresar sub jocurile pe marginea urechii. Iti aud respiratia, o simt in spatiul meu, in urechea mea, pe mine, o simt <em>in mine</em>, in creierul meu. Ceva imi spune ca vrei, stiu ca vrei si ma excita ideea asta. Ma trezesc invadat de gemetele subtiri rostite in urechea mea. Aud “HOT”, aud <em>“TU”</em>, aud <em>“EU”</em>, aud “AH”.</p>
<p>Simt ca ai nevoie de mine si asta ma face sa zambesc. Zambesc si ne continuam jocul.</p>
<p>textul de <a href="http://papyy.wordpress.com/2008/07/04/touch-ypur-touch/">aici</a> l-am reeditat si a iesit ce e mai sus. o sa continui sa il slefuiesc pana o sa fiu multumit de el. o sa fac asta aici, vreau sa vad cum evolueaza si unde ajunge. </p>

<description><![CDATA[i knew it existed - it just took me a while to come acrosss it. between 1974 and 1983 there existed ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>i knew it existed - it just took me a while to come acrosss it. between 1974 and 1983 there existed a project called <strong>poesie und musik</strong>, publishing records that combined - right: poetry and music. based on texts by heinrich heine, pablo neruda, the (west-)indian chief seattle (and another record with northamerican-indian texts). and one with texts by <strong>francois villon</strong>. more precise: with the texts of <strong>paul zech</strong>, based on the poetry of francois villon. (for an explanation you might want to visit <a href="http://sunbathinglizard.wordpress.com/2007/12/11/real-gangsta-francois-villon/" target="_blank">my earlier villon post)</a>.</p>
<p>this project was headed by the swiss musician <strong>rené bardet</strong> - for the first three records (the two heine records and the villon record) he worked together with <strong>orlando valentini</strong> and a certain <strong>andreas vollenweider</strong>. not much i know about orlando valentini - he seems to have played with various musicians over the time. he passed away a couple of years ago - as did rené bardet, who quit being a musician in the 80s and started to work in the media industry. but as all you (new agers) know, andreas vollenweider rose to international fame during the 1980s and is known now for his solowork as well as for his many collaborations. i have to admit that i always found it amazing the every household in california seemed to have at least one of his cd's (and one of kitaro, of course)...</p>
<p>but back to 1976, when the three of them published the francois villon record.</p>
<p><a href="http://sunbathinglizard.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/frontsmall.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-589" src="http://sunbathinglizard.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/frontsmall.jpeg" alt="" width="450" height="425" /></a></p>
<p>i have to admit i was first a little bit disappointed - it starts with an instrumental in the medieval-folks-y style - and it continues to have that kind of style - sometimes more jazzy - for the first couple of songs. well, of course my expectations have been high, since i was on the lookout for this record for a while. but this kind of updated medieval sounding style is just not my cup of tea... first it seems to me like the poetry and the music are rather parallel then together - not unlike the the villon record by <strong>richard lauffen</strong> i posted earlier (and that is <a href="http://sunbathinglizard.wordpress.com/2007/12/11/real-gangsta-francois-villon/" target="_blank">still up</a>). but somehow the poetry of villon seems even further away by trying to put it in a musical context that refers to a time very long gone. somehow it is like seeing shakespeare in an "authentic" performance and then seeing the movie <em>romeo and juliet</em> from 1996 (yep, the one with leonardo di caprio), where the original text (and consequently the play) suddenly makes sense again by moving the visual to the now. or to try to explain it differently: the first couple of songs / ballads seem to be made too obviously like "one sould make it" but seem like not...hm...to have been appropriated enough. but in a way it is interesting to note that the music refers to a time <em>before</em> the texts by paul zech were created... but then comes the last song on the first side - and suddenly it works. it is kind of a romantic, (pop-)ballad flavoured with a spanish guitar. and although rené bardet still declames the text, it is suddenly really poetry and music, together. and the same is true for the second side: it starts with a more blues-y number - which fits the words perfectly and continues to the most amazing track, <em>sommerballade von der armen louise</em>, which is...heartrending.</p>
<p>so - starting at the end of the first side and for the full second side the music and the words re-inforce each other - it's not just the music giving a nice background... but as usual i think you should listen to it for yourself. <strong>poesie und musik: francois villon</strong>, ripped from vinyl, including the coverscans (on the back-cover you see the three of them young and cute) you can get <a href="http://ifile.it/d8ucexn" target="_blank">here</a>. wikipedia informs me that there is a re-issue of this record planned, but i could not find any other source confirming this information, and andreas vollenweider does not even list this record in his discography on <a href="http://www.vollenweider.com/" target="_blank">his website</a>. and now make yourself a stiff drink and enjoy mister villons prose!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>by be. aaron<br />
</em></p>
<p>-Men dressed entirely in black, with the exception of the tossed-on-without-calculation T-shirt and jeans, especially when worn by salesmen. Get with it: this uniform is reserved solely for use by women.</p>
<p>- Visual clutter: too many product labels in the bathroom.</p>
<p>- Unless you are a friend, or that cute guy who just rode past on his bike, greeting me with <em>"Hey"</em> instead of <em>"Hi."</em> (See "Sign O' The Times" Spiel for more on this topic.)</p>
<p>-Tip assault. Can the ubiquitous cup! You can't all be on my payroll.</p>
<p>-Poor e-mail etiquette, again, unless you are a friend, in which case,all is forgiven.</p>
<p>-Overly iced drinks.</p>
<p>-Bottles or jars that are too hard to open.</p>
<p>-Seductive, expensive cosmetics that I have to throw out because they've made my face blow up like a tomato that's ripened after a season of too much rain.</p>
<p>-People whose actions do not align with their words.</p>
<p>-The male mani/pedi. Find another place to chill. Call me sexist but, like the black uniform, this is a right reserved for women.</p>
<p>-Premature plate removal. <em>Yes, I am going to eat that parsley garnish.</em></p>
<p>-Holidays. I don't like federally mandated observances and  I hate a day without mail, even if it's  junk.</p>
<p>Thank you. I feel better now.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been wondering for a few weeks how churches can capitalize on texting. We are starting mobile fan clubs right now for our artists, and it would make so much sense to communicate to the church via text. But how would you convert your congregation? I talked to a friend about doing a series about church 2.0 but I think this idea is a little stronger.<br />
OMG means Oh My God in text code. TTYL is talk to you later. CU, L8r, etc. one of the TV networks has started a campaign around OMG. Title your series OMG. Use the series to talk about God but also to educate people how to join your mobile network so that you can communicate to them via text message. replace the bulletin (over time). intersect peoples lives where they are already living.</p>
<p>A company <a href="http://www.mozes.com/">like this</a> could help.<br />
TTYL</p>

<description><![CDATA[This one, tells you how to do something like this:

I suppose you won&#8217;t have much use for this]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This one, tells you how to do something like this:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x134/Liquid_Skin_Aclaro/Blog%20Pics/Image%20Editing/curved_text.jpg" alt="curved text sample" /></p>
<p>I suppose you won't have much use for this in everyday life but.. it does come in handy especially during presentations or.. when you're doing your kid's homework or school project. :D</p>
<p>-----------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#003300;">Right then.. let's start.</span></strong></p>
<p>** Run Fireworks</p>
<p>** create a new document that is 400x300 in size (we need ample space)</p>
<p>** create a circle by clicking and holding on the Rectangle Tool and clicking Ellipse tool on the Tools panel. It doesn't have to be a perfect sphere,but you can create that by clicking and holding and then press and hold on Ctrl + Shift while dragging. Basically, Ctrl and Shift can also help in creating symmetrical shapes and when resizing, helps maintain the proportion of the image.</p>
<p>** write a few words using the Text tool. After this, your screen should look something like this:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x134/Liquid_Skin_Aclaro/Blog%20Pics/Image%20Editing/curved_text01.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>** select the two objects (circle and text, like in the image above) then, in the menu bar, click Text &#62; Attach to patch.</p>
<p>** voila! :) after that, it may look like this (with the text on the side instead of on top)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x134/Liquid_Skin_Aclaro/Blog%20Pics/Image%20Editing/curved_text02.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>you can fix that by selecting the image, and then click the Scale tool and rotating it so that the text is now on top.</p>
<p>Please note that you don't have to use circles all the time. You can use rectangles or any other shape, so you can achieve your desired effect. This is just a small part of other sorts of curved texts out there.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, it's shameful, but there's a new one. Mr E (because his whole career is the entertainment industry, specifically concerts). He has an interesting, sometimes scary past due to the industry but is oddly sweet around me. All of his friends think he is a fool because he acts so different around me. And Im getting a lot of negative attention from them for this.<br />
A good majority of the fun started last Friday night when we attended the Arts Fest and continued to drink, dance, laugh, and be merry. On the way home I walked with one of our coworkers, and cofriend who told me that he was not at all pleased with how I was going on with Mr E. while being married. He told me that he didn't approve and never wanted to meet my partner for fear of telling him what he thought of it and letting him know the "juicy" details. For starters, all I have done is link arms with Mr. E. in crowds, anything we had together died years ago.... THAT'S IT. And MR knows where I am and who I'm with, Hell he and Mr E spent long enough getting drunk on my birthday - things would have come out in the wash and I'm sure they're both okay with it. It may be a tad misguided in the fact that its "safe" with coworkers and in a group, but fact nonetheless.</p>
<p>Saturday morning Mr E. picked me up at my apartment, while MR was at work, and we made what Dustin refers to as an "Adventure in Contraban" to pick up beer and fireworks. Again, MR knew where I was and who I was with - the wonder of text. And, again, nothing intimate. After the adventure he took me home so that I could get ready to go to the pool with yet another coworker (this 'adventure' as I choose to call them has fizzled because this guy changes his mind on an hourly basis and never follows through with plans we make). So I sat at home waiting for confirmation that once again he made better plans and left me behind. Giving up and heading back downtown to the Arts Fest where Mr E is waiting I get a phone call from the Other who canceled (shocker). Mr E and a few of his friends (very nice by the way) met up with me at the Arts Fest where more drinking and flirting went on. Now knowing that the friend coworker has an issue with us hanging out we decided to make things more interesting and play on that we had "fun" on our mini road trip for beer and fireworks. And that there was no porn available so we were forced to make our own at a roadstop. haha. The friend coworker is highly bothered by this and we are pleased. After the Arts Fest we walked to a friends house to drink and set off fireworks but stopped off at Mr E's house for more beer. Everyone else carried on to the friends house so we decided to play again. I messed up my hair and took off my shirt to show just my shorts and bikini top. Once we got there everyone kept looking at eachother and at us. God it is so fun to mess with peoples minds like that. hahahaha.<br />
Sunday Mr E, coworker friend, and I went to see a movie (Kung fu Panda) and tried to go on a hike up the hills around here. The friends truck had issues so we couldn't go, but this didn't stop the fun. Mr E. drenched me in his canteen water and we decided to have a BBQ at his house on the porch. More drinking and eating with friends ended with the friends going to a neighbors house while we layed around his house playing on the computer and talking. Coworker friend came back to find me laying on the floor next to Mr E. So we started up a television show. While the show was on I laid on the couch next to Mr E and he ran his fingers along my back. I swear to god it was fucking heaven! Complete and total peace! Once the episode was over Mr E drove me home listening to old Ella Fitzgerald songs with the windows down in the car taking in the night air.</p>
<p>Today he texts me (midheated conversation- when I said that I think I pissed him off):</p>
<p>"you know how (the dog) can go anywhere in my garden, up to the street? That's like how it is talking to you. I just hit the street."</p>
<p>Explaining that he feels there are boundaries to talking to me, as a 'married' woman.</p>
<p>I asked him how he could not feel like he was hitting the street while talking to me and he said:</p>
<p>"I dont know. (The dog) is allowed to go in the street when I go with him."</p>
<p>And I responded that I have seen that and the dog practically RUNS through the street to get the hell out of it. His response:</p>
<p>"Because he knows he shouldn't be there."</p>
<p>At that point... I didnt know what to say. What do you say to that? So I said I was going to retreat quietly into my corner.</p>
<p>He said:</p>
<p>"Take this with you. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world"</p>
<p>I know its not original words or anything, but... it stopped me in my tracks. Then it also scared the hell out of me because... I dont want to be anyones WORLD. I've been that, it leads to obsessive, abusive boyfriends and crazy partners that smother you to death (figuratively of course) even though you love them.</p>
<p>Sometimes I despair for myself.</p>
<p>Oh and I was going to tell you about D&#38;G's new GF. That will happen... I'm still sizing her up.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Again! why?<br />
<span style="font-size:70%;"><span style="font-size:78%;">Almost all computer users had that thought, "why me, and why now?"<br />
Wouldn't you like to know what to do, when time is crucial?<br />
Well this is the time, read on!</span></span></span></span></p>
<p>Working with text</p>
<p>If you're working with text, and a text editing program, allmost all of them has a "autosave" funktion. Try googling it, and you'll find lots of different ways to different programs of activating it.<br />
If you're in the problem now, and don't have time, try the screenshot. The prt sc, or print screen button, automaticly saves the image of your screen, and makes it avaible for later use. You can just open ms paint, press Ctrl+V and there you go, a lot of your items are back, all you need to do is write them back. On many stationary computers prt sc is a seprat button, but on many laptops, it isn't. In many laptops, you have to find the prt sc printed on a button, hold down the "FN" button like so - FN + prt sc. There you go!</p>
<p>Working with images</p>
<p>Well, this is more tricky. I'm assuming that your using a bit of a advanced program, because if it was just in ms paint, you did not want it to be restored that badly. You can try the print screen way, as described above,<br />
or then check if you have a previous backup, if not, i think your pretty screwed.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://om.nowalewica.pl/images/salon/bezpieka.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>Szwecja, czasem zwana Królewstwem Szwedzkim, kraj zaliczany do skandynawskich, powoli wprowadza jeden z większych totalitaryzmów w dziejach świata. Mianowicie obywatele będą poddani niemalże całkowitej kontroli.</p>
<p>W Szwedzi zaczynają wprowadzać prawo, które da nieograniczoną możliwość kontrolowania rozmów telefonicznych i listów internetowych. To znaczy, że jeśli szwedzki obywatel będzie dzwonić i się umawiać z kimś na spotkanie to wielki brat będzie wiedział co i jak. Takie praktyki ogólnie stosuje się w niemalże wszystkich krajach, lecz są to praktyki niejawne.</p>
<p>Ustawa przeszłą minimalną większością głosów 142 do 138. Ustawie się sprzeciwiły różne partię, ich młódzieżówki, ale największy sprzeciw wyraziło społeczeństwo, bowiem to garstka rządzących chce za nich decydować.</p>
<p>Posłowie otrzymali ponad 1,1 miliona e-maili od niezadowolonych obywateli. Szwecja liczy 9 milionów mieszkańców. Więc jedna dziwiąta społeczeństwa zaprotestowała za pomocą internetu, a przecież nie każdy ten internet posiada.</p>
<p>Na niemalże taki sam pomysł jak w Szwecji, wpadli urzędasy z Parlamentu Europejskiego, tyle, że tam jeszcze tego nie uchwalono.</p>
<p>Teraz mogę już sobie spekulować, za ile lat, już nie będę mógł takich notek na blogu pisać? Za rok, za dwa, za pięć czy za dziesięć? Chyba w ucieczce przed inwigilacją będziemy musieli uciekać do Afryki, bo tam jeszcze takich praktyk się nie stosuje.</p>
<p>A jaki jest w ogóle powód tego show? BEZPIECZEŃSTWO! Tak właśnie, to bezpieczeńśtwo. O bezpieczeństwie również mówili za stanu wojennego, za Franco, Pinocheta i Hitlera. To właśnie „bezpieczeństwo” będzie nas kosztować Tarczą antyrakietową, by ochraniać mocarstwo tego świata. To właśnie w imię „bezpieczeństwa” policja zbiła w nocy uczestników demonstracji przeciwko Tarczy antyrakietowej w Słupsku. No i to „bezpieczeństwo” nas kosztuje to, że każdy z nas podejrzewany bywa o morderstwo czy kradzież. Wystarczy mieć niewygodne poglądy, a będzie się takich traktować jak terrorystów. Szykuje się totalitaryzm jakich mało.</p>
<p>W DZISIEJSZYM ŚWIECIE TERMIN „CENZURA” ZOSTAŁ ZASTĄPIONY SŁOWEM „BEZPIECZEŃŚTWO”.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Co może łączyć Pocztę Polską i korporację Lionbridge? To oczywiste. Oba te podmioty tak samo represjonują pracowników i związkowców.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://lionbridge.zsp.net.pl/lion1.gif" alt="" />Lionbridge jest międzynarodową korporacją, ma biura na wielu kontynentach. W grudniu 2007 roku w firmie powstała komisja zakładowa Krajowej Federacji Pracowników, nowego związku zawodowego. Niedługo potem istnitnie związku i nazwiska jego członków zostały ogłoszone dyrekcji.</p>
<p>12 lutego 2008 roku Jakub G., przedstawiciel Krajowej Federacji Pracowników został dyscyplinarnie zwolniony, pomimo tego, że jego stanowisko pracy było chronione na podstawie Ustawy o ZZ.</p>
<p>Oficjalnym zarzutem było „ujawnienie tajemnicy przedsiębiorstwa”. Pracodawca przypisał Jakubowi autorstwo artykułu na portalu anarchistycznym o Lionbridge. Miał on rzekomo zawierać informację znane tylko dla samej firmy, lecz co ciekawe na stronach spółki Lionbridge są to ogólne dostępne informacje.</p>
<p>Jutro ma się odbyć proces przeciwko Lionbridge w warszawskim sądzie rejonowym, bowiem Jakub złożył pozew. Natomiast później ma się odbyć demonstracja pod biurem Lionbridge w Warszawie w obronie zwolnionego Jakuba.</p>
<p>W obronę Jakuba wzięło się również Międzynarodowe Stowarzyszenie Pracowników. Akcje solidarnościowe, które przeprowadzili anarchosyndykaliści, odbyły się już w Słowacji, Belgii, Francji, Portugalii. Wkrótcę mają się odbyć również w Irlandii, Hiszpanii i Norwegii.</p>
<p>Poczta Polska natomiast zwolniła Bartosza Kantorczyka, działacza Ogólnopolskiego Związku Zawodowego Inicjatywa Pracownicza oraz inicjatora strajku listonoszy w listopadzie 2006 roku. OZZ IP tak samo jak KFP to związek działający na podstawach anarchosyndykalistycznych. Te związki to nie są ugodowe sprzedawczyki.</p>
<p>Poczta Polska zwolniła Kantorczyka, który zgodnie z prawem domagał się podniesienia bezpieczeństwa pracy listonoszy i piętnował permanentne łamanie praw pracowniczych. Zwolnienie Kantorczyka narusza przynajmniej trzy ustawy: o związkach zawodowych, o rozwiązywaniu sporów zbiorowych i kodeks pracy. Od 31 stycznia 2008 Komisja Zakładowa OZZ IP przy Poczcie Polskiej znajduje się w sporze zbiorowym z pracodawcą.</p>
<p>Bartosz Kantorczyk jest jednym z najbardziej walecznych związkowców w Poczcie Polskiej w Gdańsku. To im przeszkadza. W mediach Kantorczyk zawsze nagłaśniał sprawę, prowadził już głodówkę. Musieli go się pozbyć, więc wyrzucili z pracy.</p>
<p>Niedługo ruszy ogólnopolska kampania w obronie Kantorczyka. 16 lipca odbędą się pikiety w różnych miastach. Trzeba nagłośnić przecież to, że Poczta Polska i Lionbridge łamią prawa pracownicze.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://om.nowalewica.pl/images/salon/kubanskie_pomarancze02.jpg" alt="" />Nie często słyszy się hip-hop do punkowej muzyki. Taką właśnie muzykę serwują Kubańskie Pomarańcze. Pochodzą z Gliwic. Grają „żywą” muzykę, bo na instrumentach od podstaw plus rapowe wokale.</p>
<p>Na wokalach w Kubańskich Pomarańczach występuje Majkel z Koligacji Gie Ka i Ania Sool. Dalszy skład to Tomek na gitarze, Sylwek na basie, Radek na bębnach, a realizacją i masteringiem zajął się Alan Dirt.</p>
<p>Obecnie zespół ma na koncie "jedynie" trzyutworowy singiel, ale pracuje nad materiałem który będzie można usłyszeć na koncertach.</p>
<p>W wywiadzie z Anią Sool znajdziemy również fragment o Kubańskich Pomarańczach:<br />
„Ostatnio wraz z Majkelem koncertujecie z żywym bandem Kubańskie Pomarańcze. Czy w repertuarze macie tylko przearanżowane kawałki z waszych materiałów czy jest to autonomiczny projekt ?<br />
Pierwsze utwory które zaczęliśmy robić z Kubańskimi Pomarańczami to faktycznie było odtwarzanie jakiś starych tekstów i robienie nowych aranży, z tego względu, że jeszcze nic nie było przygotowane. Natomiast teraz kolejne kawałki, które powstają to są już utwory robione tylko i wyłącznie na potrzebę Kubańskich. To nie jest kapela taka sticte hiphopowa. Hip Hopu jest tam może ze 25%, reszta to mieszanka punku, ska, jakiegoś funku. Strasznie mieszamy to wszystko ale myślę, że może być to zajebiście interesujące.”</p>
<p>W utworze „Butelki” śpiewają przeciwko komercyjnemu hip-hop'owi: „nienawidzę hip-hopu, którym kierują pieniądze”. Natomiast w refrenie śpiewają:<br />
„biznesów nie chcę,<br />
my nie chcemy biznesu(...)<br />
w rymach mamy<br />
butelki z bęzyną<br />
i kamienie<br />
mamy butelki<br />
mamy kamienie”</p>
<p>Utwór „Butelki” można legalnie pobrać stąd, http://mp3.wp.pl/p/strefa/artysta/34199.html. Także polecam przesłuchać nietypowej i oryginalnej muzyki.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">So, I finally saw the ATT pricing/plans today.<span> </span>This is… Disheartening.<span> </span>Why oh why did Steve Jobs go with ATT of all companies.<span> </span>Heck, Verizon would have been a better choice at this point.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today we’ll cover… <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span> </span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Purchasing The Phone<br />
Residential Plans<br />
Enterprise Plans</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">lets do it...</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!--more--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Purchasing The Phone</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/specials/iphone-info.jsp">Straight from ATT</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">8 Gig</span><span> </span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">16 Gig</span><br />
New to ATT<span> </span>$199<span> </span>$299<br />
Current ATT Customer (Available Upgrade)<span> </span>$199<span> </span>$299<br />
Current ATT Customer (Early Upgrade)<span> </span>$399!?!?!?!?<span> </span>$499!?!?!?!?<br />
“No Commitment Option” – “Avail Soon”<span> </span>$599!?!?!?!?<span> </span>$699!?!?!?!?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I did call and talk to ATT today to procure the fact that I can do an early upgrade (I switched numbers from west to east coast, and they f’d up my upgrade date) and they told me there WOULD NOT be any extra charge to purchase the iPhone 3G FOR ANYONE.<span> </span>Even though this was on their website.<span> </span>Who Knows.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Residential Plans</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a note before I share the actual plans, note:<span> </span>NO SMS TEXT MESSAGES ARE INCLUDED.<span> </span>Why?<span> </span>Why?<span> </span>Why?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://schoontech.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/att-plan-indiv.gif"><img class="size-medium wp-image-101 aligncenter" src="http://schoontech.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/att-plan-indiv.gif?w=300" alt="ATT\'s iPhone 3G Plans, Individuals" width="300" height="103" /></a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">So that’s it.<span> </span>More Expensive, Less Features.<span> </span>Go ATT!<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By the Way, Apple no longer gets a percent of the monthly fees, so their say in pricing is gone.<span> </span>As far as I can tell this is all ATT.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Enterprise Data</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the main features of the phone is its Microsoft Exchange compatibility.<span> </span>It’s a HUGE feature for anyone who has a blackberry at work.<span> </span>It means whole companies may be moving over to IPhones rather than the crack berries.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Data Plan<br />
</span>All Plans are Unlimited Data plans.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Data Plan for iPhone (Normal)<span> </span><span> </span>$30<br />
Enterprise Data Plan (needed for Exchange)<span> </span>$45</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Texts<br />
</span>The business text plans are exactly the same as the residential.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Voice</span><br />
Voice plans are exactly the same as with residential plans.<span> </span>You figure this by the voice plans amount, plus $30 for non-enterprise data.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can also sign up for Business Pooled plans, but you need to qualify and be accepted.<span> </span>It is $14.99 more, but the minutes can be shared between multiple phones.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">International Usage</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The phones will work as any other tri/quad band phone would in a foreign country.<span> </span>I WISH you could get another network’s SIM card, but locked phone.<span> </span>To ATT.<span> </span>Makes me sad, I may inquire about this at the Apple Store.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Oh, and I learned the last time I was in the UK I found out ON TOP of all other call charges, text charges, what not, you are charged $1 every time you get a voice mail.<span> </span>For the visual voice mail feature (data… )<span> </span>Aaargh.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Wrap-Up</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Once again, no SMS Texts included with a normal plan.<span> </span>And 20 cents per text?<span> </span>Yea.<span> </span>Its only 50 cents to text the UK from the US (used to be 25?!?).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ATT is viscously raping America now that is seems Apple is not involved with plans at all… I’ll still buy the phone… But most likely I’ll wind up deactivating voice and finding a cheaper plan/provider, heh.<span> </span>$30 a month for more or less a little wireless laptop ain’t too bad.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to add here, that Apple has done a crack up job with the phone.<span> </span>I like the look (but it is &#60; than the 1<sup>st</sup> gen), its got GPS, 3G, and most importantly (to me) a NORMAL headphone jack.<span> </span>Ahhhh… I can actually use my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#38;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FSony-7506-Pro-MDR-7506-Headphones%2Fdp%2FB0002H02ZY%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dmusical-instruments%26qid%3D1215061015%26sr%3D8-2&#38;tag=schoomulti-20&#38;linkCode=ur2&#38;camp=1789&#38;creative=9325">Sony MDR-7506s</a><img style="border:none !important;margin:0 !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=schoomulti-20&#38;l=ur2&#38;o=1" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> (I’m a slight audiophile, being a Live Audio Engineer and all) with the iPhone now.<span> </span>Rock.</p>

<description><![CDATA[
What is true is that I like movies (I actually LOVE cinematography and absolutely am what they used]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" src="http://caffeine-headache.net/blog3/23352.jpg" alt="morgan freeman weaver wanted" width="250" height="382" /></p>
<p>What is true is that I like movies (I actually LOVE cinematography and absolutely am what they used to call me back in the States: "a movie buff"), but I think the review of this movie in this blog fits perfectly since nets are interesting elements of it at more than one level.</p>
<p>So let's roll but BEWARE! SPOILERS AHEAD!:</p>
<p>The movie itself is a poorly written action flick which is made disturbing in many moments because of the particular style (much almost-still slow-motion and a fetish for vibrating human flesh and superabundant skin above all) of the Kazakh director <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timur_Bekmambetov" target="_blank">Timur Benkmambetov</a> (a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borat" target="_blank">Borat</a> fellow citizen).</p>
<p>In the movie the story is based upon the fact that there is a Confraternity of Assasins (I don't know if this is the actual english term in the movie, here in Italy we have the habit of giving foreign actors better voices) who get their orders from a loom which makes discrete errors in the fabric it produces which are then decodified making them correspond to a binary code (no need to understand that, its just <a href="http://www.dack.com/web/bullshit.html" target="_blank">bovine stool</a>). The "moral alibi" the mentor gives for getting orders by a piece of linen is that the fabric represents the connections of all the people and the message about the victim and the consequential elimitation is a necessity inside Fate evolution.</p>
<p>This is the first part which I consider interesting related to Networks: in this movie the existence of each one of us is seen as the least part of a huge Net Work which can bee perfectly represented as an infinite textile work. Its interesting to see how this idea can be at the basis of diametrically different ideological doctrines like for example Socialism, Communism (the individual can just be seen as part of the community) and, opposite to them Individualism (we make our part in the society by being always a strong and self-enhancing individual, like the thread, just interacting occasionally with the others).</p>
<p>In the movie it is said that being the one who can read this aspect of reality and being able to act according to this knowledge makes you superior to all humans.</p>
<p>Another network the screenwriter of this movie should have been more aware of is the Script. As a text (word which is just one with textile in Latin, precisely <em>textum</em>, since language is just a network of meanings and symbols) the script should always be seen as a game of correspondences and recalls which has to interact effectively with an external element, the Viewer.</p>
<p>This approach lacks totally since it is full of dialogue bloopers (the girlfriend says he is missing since 2 months, he tells us he entered the Confraternity since 6 weeks), some shooting bloopers and really too many simplifications.</p>
<p>So this is my review, from a networks enthusiast point of view, a 6 out of 10 on <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0493464/?c=1" target="_blank">IMDB</a>, due also to some fascist ideas that lately seem to permeate many Hollywood works. I'd really appreciate to read your comments.</p>
