"House of The Rising Sun"~ Frijid Pink~ 1970
NordlichReiterEasiest song to learn I think.
Frijid Pink version

Guitar noise lesson on House of the Rising Sun by The Animals
http://www.guitarnoise.com/lesson/house-of-the-rising-sun/
The Frijid Pink version is intermediate due to the lead breaks, and the intro.
The Animals version is pretty straight forward. For timing listen to the original version. Then figure out what 6/8 timing really means; each 8th note gets a beat. So that means 6 beets per measure and each one is an 8th note. To see this watch the original version and count each time the lead guitar hits a note.
Below is an explanation of The Animals version.
The guitar part is a Arpeggio. The wiki describes a Bach arpeggio to be in 6/8 timing with 6 8th notes in a measure. Which is exactly the way The Animals have the lead guitar on this song.
You can think of this count as 1,2,3,4,5,6 and then 6,5,4,3,2,1 repeat.

chilaxeThere's not good data on IQ tabulated by US state, but some commentators have found 8th grade reading scores, for which there is good data, to be a reasonable proxy. The list is too long to post here, but below is the conclusion:
Level of educational attainment seems to show a more significant difference:

I'm all for statistics being respected even if they're considered undesirable - because otherwise what we're doing isn't science
I agree that it shouldn't be taboo just to tabulate those kinds of statistics that Cohen presents. The focus should be more on his bad science than his undesirable hypotheses.

Ohio's E-Voting machines Flawed
Sniper007 says...>> ^lucky760:
I don't get it. The electronic voting machines we use around here actually print your selections onto paper then asks you to verify what's on the paper is correct. Then that paper is what is tabulated later.
Why do they feel the need to use machines where votes are saved digitally and can be easily tampered with?
So that they can easily tamper with them.

MINK^yes i am sure dag has the patent on "activating a button to express a preference" and "organising button activation into tabulated output".
about this thing, i thought it was pretty cool before it panned up, because i thought the level designer was using some kind of scripty stuff in it and that would be a cool simple demo that could be taken further. but then i saw the wiring and i just thought zomg, that's just... sad. like making a car out of bottlecaps. upvote for sheer... geek.
Handcounted votes favor Obama - Diebold favors Hillary (Election Talk Post)
joedirtHey rembar, you know very little about voting machines, so don't say what does and does not happen.
Did you know in many places in the US, poll workers take the machines home with them overnight. Most machines are stored for days ahead of the elections in closets and semi-secure areas in churches, schools, libraries, communities rooms. Many people easily have access to these machines.
The only (ONLY) thing prevent someone from inserting a corrupted memory card is occasionally stickers and a lock that is about as high tech as on your luggage.
"The actual disks are never switched out" Huh? You mean the PCMCIA memory cards? In touchscreens there are other methods of interfacing the machine like the poll worker master cards. In opscan machines, for one thing the memory cards are often transported with no chain of custody to the board of elections to be tabulated. Anyone with a laptop could easily modify the results. Or just swap it out. Same goes for touchscreen memory cards, and most touchscreens in the US have zero paper trail. They may have internal harddisk or memory containing an audit file, but that is all you get.
There are many attacks that could be performed while voting on them behind a curtain. Read about the magnet and the PDA. Cheers.
Handcounted votes favor Obama - Diebold favors Hillary (Election Talk Post)
joedirtAnd do NOT trust any crap the dkos puts out regarding elections. They are the biggest assholes regarding facts and lying about election issues. DHinMI is a really big asshole.
So let's look at the dkos MUST SHUT DOWN ANY DISCUSSION diary (it's their MO).
They start out talking about touchscreen. Ok, who cares, only a moran thinks that electronic tabulation matters if it comes from memory cards that came out of opscan or a touchscreen. Electronic tabulation is electronic tabulation. And, in fact, that PCOS is very vulnerable to attacks, like a switch can be toggle to put that very opscan Accuvote Opscan in and out of "counting" mode, and no one would notice. It still scans and operates normally.
They claim "Fewer than half the towns in New Hampshire tabulate votes with optical scanners". Ok, so what? 81% of the votes are tabulated from opscan memory cards. I think that is relevant and left out by mindless dkos zombie.
What kind of moran brings up the discussion of polling data, when all the polling data indicate something is wrong. That is like saying "these five polls from a week ago prove the polling data matches the election... just do not look at any recent polls or exit polls".
And my favorite... they claim if there was anything wrong the candidates would be saying something. Ha! Look at Kerry in Ohio. He had 10,000 lawyers all ready to go and told them to go home (in complete disbelief to everyone but Kerry).
This commercial will blow you away...
jimnms"btw i would rather have one nuclear power station than seven gajillion acres of inefficient turbines. They are not made of recycled paper, you know?"...
At least plastic can be recycled. Nuclear power plants aren't made of recycled paper either, and they must continually be re-fueled every 18 months. Do you think they that fuel grows on trees? Wind turbines require no fuel, and need very little maintenance.
)? As far as I know, wind turbines have not killed anyone or released toxic and radioactive materials into the environment.
"If you like progress, and you think a fucking windmill is progress, then you're mental."
You're comparing plastics with nuclear waste and you're calling me mental?
Progress is building more safe, renewable resources for power such as wind, hydro and solar power plants, not building more nuke plants.
I know all about Chernobyl and nuclear reactors, I used to work at one. I know the designs are different, my point is that it only takes one accident and the effects on the environment and life lasts for generations. Do you realize how many nuclear accidents there have been, besides the two major ones (TMI and Chernobyl)? There's more than just accidents at nuclear plants, accidents occur during the manufacturing, transport, storage, and disposal of the nuclear fuel. They may not be as big as Chernobyl, but the damage to the environment has been done, and the "pollution" will be around longer than you or I.
Here's a list of just some of the nuclear accidents in just the US alone:
July 1959 - Boeing-Rocketdyne Nuclear Facility in Ventura County, California, A clogged coolant channel resulted in a 30% reactor core meltdown, which led to the release of the third greatest amount of radioactive iodine-131 in nuclear history.
July 1956 - Sylvania Electric Products' Metallurgy Atomic Research Center, Bayside, Queens, New York, nine people were injured when two explosions destroyed a portion of the facility.
December 1958 - Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in New Mexico. A nuclear criticality accident killed 1 operator.
1959 - Santa Susana Field Laboratory in Simi Valley Hills, California. A partial sodium reactor meltdown occurred.
January 1961 - National Reactor Testing Station in Arco, Idaho. A reactor explosion, killed 3 technicians, and released radiation. The men were so heavily exposed to radiation that their hands had to be buried separately with other radioactive waste, and their bodies were buried in lead coffins.
October 1966 - Detroit Edison's Enrico Fermi I demonstration breeder reactor near Detroit, Michigan. A sodium cooling system malfunction caused a partial core meltdown.
November 1971 - Northern States Power Company's reactor in Monticello, Minnesota. The water storage space filled to capacity and spilled over, dumping about 50,000 gallons of radioactive waste water into the Mississippi River.
1972 - The West Valley, NY fuel reprocessing plant was closed after 6 years in operation, leaving 600,000 gallons of high-level wastes buried in leaking tanks. The site caused measurable contamination of Lakes Ontario and Erie.
March 1972 - A routine check in a nuclear power plant in Alaska indicated abnormal radioactivity in the building's water system. Radioactivity was confirmed in the plant drinking fountain. Apparently there was an inappropriate cross-connection between a 3,000 gallon radioactive tank and the water system.
December 1972 - A plutonium fabrication plant in Pauling, New York. An undetermined amount of radioactive plutonium was scattered inside and outside the plant, after a major fire and two explosions occurred resulting in its permanent shutdown.
May 1974 - The Atomic Energy Commission reported that 861 "abnormal events" had occurred in 1973 in the nation's 42 operative nuclear power plants. Twelve involved the release of radioactivity "above permissible levels."
March 1975 - Browns Ferry reactor, Decatur, Alabama. A fire burned out electrical controls, lowering the cooling water to dangerous levels, before the plant could be shut down.
1979 - The Critical Mass Energy Project tabulated 122 accidents involving the transport of nuclear material in 1979, 17 involving radioactive contamination.
March 1979 - Three Mile Island nuclear plant near Middletown, Pennsylvania. After cooling water was lost, the top portion of the reactor's 150-ton core collapsed and melted. Contaminated coolant water escaped into a nearby building, releasing radioactive gasses. A study by Dr. Ernest J. Sternglass, professor of radiation physics at the University of Pittsburgh, showed that the accident led to a minimum of 430 infant deaths.
July 1979 - Church Rock, New Mexico. A dam holding radioactive uranium mill tailings broke, sending an estimated 100 million gallons of radioactive liquids and 1,100 tons of solid wastes downstream.
August 1979 - A nuclear fuel plant near Erwin, Tennessee. Highly enriched uranium was released. About 1,000 people were contaminated with up to 5 times as much radiation as would normally be received in a year. Between 1968 and 1983 the plant "lost" 234 pounds of highly enriched uranium, forcing the plant to be closed six times during that period.
January 1980 - Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (where large amounts of nuclear material are kept). An earthquake caused caused a tritium leak.
September 1980 - Two canisters containing radioactive materials fell off a truck on New Jersey's Route 17. The driver, en route from Pennsylvania to Toronto, did not notice the missing cargo until he reached Albany, New York.
1981 - The Critical Mass Energy Project of Public Citizen, Inc. reported that there were 4,060 mishaps and 140 serious events at nuclear power plants in 1981.
February 11, 1981 - Tennessee Valley Authority's Sequoyah I plant in Tennessee, 110,000 gallons of radioactive coolant sprayed into the containment building, which led to the contamination of eight men.
July 1981 - Nine Mile Point's Unit 1 in New York state. A flood of radioactive wastewater in the sub-basement caused approximately 150 55-gallon drums of high-level waste to overturn, some of which released their highly radioactive contents. Some 50,000 gallons of radioactive water were subsequently dumped into Lake Ontario to make room for the cleanup.
January 25, 1982 - Rochester Gas & Electric Company's Ginna plant near Rochester, New York. Fifteen thousand gallons of radioactive coolant spilled onto the plant floor, and radioactive steam escaped into the air after a steam generator pipe broke.
January 1983 - Browns Ferry power plant, Athens, Alabama. About 208,000 gallons of water with radioactive contamination was accidentally dumped into the Tennesee River.
February 1983 - Salem 1 reactor in New Jersey. A catastrophe was averted by just 90 seconds when the plant was shut down manually, following the failure of automatic shutdown systems. The same automatic systems had failed to respond in an incident three days before. Other problems plagued this plant as well, such as a 3,000 gallon leak of radioactive water in June 1981 at the Salem 2 reactor, a 23,000 gallon leak of radioactive water (which splashed onto 16 workers) in February 1982, and radioactive gas leaks in March 1981 and September 1982 from Salem 1.
December 1984 - The Fernald Uranium Plant, a 1,050-acre uranium fuel production complex 20 miles northwest of Cincinnati, Ohio. The Department of Energy disclosed that excessive amounts of radioactive materials had been released through ventilating systems. Subsequent reports revealed that 230 tons of radioactive material had leaked into the Greater Miami River valley during the previous thirty years, 39 tons of uranium dust had been released into the atmosphere, 83 tons had been discharged into surface water, and 5,500 tons of radioactive and other hazardous substances had been released into pits and swamps where they seeped into the groundwater. In addition, 337 tons of uranium hexafluoride was found to be missing, its whereabouts completely unknown. The plant was not permanently shut down until 1989.
1986 - A truck carrying radioactive material went off a bridge on Route 84 in Idaho, and dumped part of its cargo in the Snake River. Officials reported the release of radioactivity.
6 January 1986 - The Sequoyah Fuels Corp. uranium processing factory in Gore, Oklahoma. A container of highly toxic gas exploded, causing one worker to die (when his lungs were destroyed) and 130 others to seek medical treatment.
December 1986 - Surry Unit 2 facility in Virginia. A feedwater pipe ruptured, causing 8 workers to be scalded by a release of hot water and steam. Four of the workers later died from their injuries. In addition, water from the sprinkler systems caused a malfunction of the security system, preventing personnel from entering the facility.
1988 - It was reported that there were 2,810 accidents in U.S. commercial nuclear power plants in 1987.
November 1992 - The Sequoyah Fuels Corp. uranium processing factory in Gore, Oklahoma closed after repeated citations by the Government for violations of nuclear safety and environmental rules. It's record during 22 years of operation included an accident in 1986 that killed one worker and injured dozens of others and the contamination of the Arkansas River and groundwater. The Sequoyah Fuels plant, one of two privately-owned American factories that fabricated fuel rods, had been shut down a week before by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission when an accident resulted in the release of toxic gas. Thirty-four people sought medical attention as a result of the accident. The plant had also been shut down the year before when unusually high concentrations of uranium were detected in water in a nearby construction pit. A Government investigation revealed that the company had known for years that uranium was leaking into the ground at levels 35,000 times higher than Federal law allows.
March 1994 - A nuclear research facility on Long Island, New York. A fire resulted in the nuclear contamination of three fire fighters, three reactor operators, and one technician. Measurable amounts of radioactive substances were released into the immediate environment.
February 2000 - Indian Point II power plant in New York vented radioactive steam when a an aging steam generator ruptured.
March 2002 - Davis-Besse nuclear plant in Ohio. Workers discovered a foot-long cavity eaten into the reactor vessel head. Borated water had corroded the metal to a 3/16 inch stainless steel liner which held back over 80,000 gallons of highly pressurized radioactive water.
Do you honestly think that more of this is worth not having to look at a field of wind turbines (they're not windmills btw, yes I get the refrence
IBM and the Holocaust
Fiver2No offence to anyone out there but what was the point of this vid?
Are we not supposed to buy IBM products cus there like every other corperation out there?
The capitilised on a situation before someone else could have.
The nazi would have found a way without them im sure plus all they were as far as i gathered is a tabulating machine.
So the nazis could COUNT quicker therefore helping genocide? Im sure there were other companys that did a lot worse out there....
Well sorry to anyone who might have been involved in the holocost. It was a terrible thing!!! and i in no way support the nazis or anything like it....
Hack a US Election in 3 E-Z steps with your friend, Diebold
joedirtquantum, please get some more smarts about how electronic voting works. You have a DRE which records votes. It may or may not produce a paper verifiable voting record. It does produce one final print out with the results for the open-close period of the machine.
Now, the DRE cartridges or memory cards are all taken and put into a tabulator. (This software is already proved to be easily hacked, but that's another issue) The tabulator reads all the cartridges and puts them in a nice database to report the election results.
At no time does anyone verify the paper receipt matches what went into the electronic results. (Don't believe me, how did Franklin county precinct get 4000 extra votes for Bush on a machine that can only record about 300 votes in a day? What happened was a communication glitch as the cart was inserted or something and the data got screwed up... No one caught it until citizens downloaded the official abstract and noticed the huge precinct results. That's right, no sanity checks are EVER performed before they post the winner)
Even during a recount in Ohio, where by law you HAVE to compare 3% of the precincts paper results to final electronic results, THEY refused to do this in any county in Ohio. Sure, counties that used punchcards did do handcounts of 3% for punchcards, but NO county did hand counts for any electronic DREs.
Why do you have to put your head in your ass and say crap like victicrat? Just because your brownshirt fascist-thug party does NOT care about honest elections, doesn't mean that people who do care about honest, verifiable, guaranteed election integrity are losers.
Take your machiavellian logic and go hack your car's brake line.
