May 23, 2007 – 5:35 am’donnel can’t leave “The View” fast enough as far as Elizabeth Hasselbeck is concerned. the two have been getting heated this week over comments Rosie made earlier this year about the war in Iraq and her belief that Elizabeth didn’t defend her properly. Elizabeth believes Rosie is a big girl with a opinionated mouth that should have no problem defending herself without the help of others. The audience was able to watch the confrontation.

he best remaining singer, Jordin Sparks, took home the idol crown. The best performer, Blake, was left with second place, but I think he will do just fine. Jordin claimed the crown last night when the idol song written for the winner was a safe ballad that played right into Jordin’s hands. If you watched last night and tonight you will notice that Jordin moved a total of 7 inches during her 4

Where does Afrobeat come from?
It comes from a part of Nigeria, the southern part of Nigeria. It was a 60’s thing influenced by, perhaps, the free jazz movement - the Americans. The chap who was at the vanguard of this all was Fela Anikulapo Kuti. He went through different forms of music - basically starting by playing High-life, which was common to West Africa then. And then modernising it, evolving it by, I believe, taking different elements of other forms of contemporary music then… Putting that together to form Afrobeat. At its best, Afrobeat would be whopping, exuberant, big band jazz.
What do Afrobeat records sound like?
Afrobeat is a mixture of different forms of music. When you listen to an Afrobeat band, the first thing you hear probably would be the jazz influence. Because a lot of times the harmonies are jazzy. And also there is a lot of improvisation involved in this music. Also, you hear the funk. Because funk, as the Americans play it, is actually West African traditional music. Very repetitive, very groovy. Very exuberant. The electric piano is at the soul of the music. As well, you hear echoes of classical music in, perhaps, the way the themes are structured, the arrangements as they are. Afrobeat really is just a way of putting together all those influences and mixing them with traditional African harmonies and rhythm. So, it is very powerful emotionally.

One of the richest sources

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

users feed a central database with local information and everybody subsequently benefits by having access to more accurate and timely data. Just got flashed by a red light camera? Enter that information and prevent others from your fate. And next time you hopefully will benefit from it yourself. Companies who offer such services in Germany include:
• Poicon
• Pocketnavigation
• My-POI locally restricted community-built database for points of interest
• Also see: Manager Magazin

There are a growing number of one-time crowdsourcing initiatives. Here are some random picks:

• Crowdsourcing a sail boat design: The German participant in the America’s Cup race hosted a design contest, asking fans to submit designs concepts.

• Crowdsourcing a book on web design: Dr. Web, a popular tekki site, compiles a how-to guide on web design, layout, usability, CSS, AJAX and weblogs, exclusively written by expert readers. Once finished, the book will be published and also be available on the site.
under Markos Moulitsas Zuniga ported over from his popular (leftie) political blog, Daily Kos. If you blog about a team not yet represented here, make yourself known—score a spot on the roster and you get a piece of the ad revenue. Also good: BaseballBlogs.org

Lifehackermpared to the other choirs, as we went to watch the choirs after us performed.

It ended for the morning and we headed back for school. Didn’t have to go for class so we kind of slacked in the choir room, and went for Sakae Sushi lunch at City Hall. It was a birthday treat for Cindy. MWAHAHS! And I still owe so many guys presents. Sorry… I am so broke now!

After that we went back to get our results, was quite pissed at some people but who cares. Our efforts were not paid off. We got a freaking bronze. Damn! And there’s so much drama when we were going home. We will accept it!

Those from choir,
though our efforts were not paid off,
but lest we know that we are a gold-attitute choir,
so do not be sad,
but happy for ourselves,
and don’t give a damn for what others think.
