Defective Pressing of Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy Vinyl?

I bought a copy of the 33 1/3 vinyl record of the new Guns N' Roses at Best Buy
in Mesquite, TX (near Dallas), and got a copy in Austin, TX. In both cases the
album skipped at the same spot on side 3 song 10 (song "Sorry"). Anybody else
heard news about a defective pressing, or had the same problem?

We believe in the one God,
   creator and sustainer of all things, Father of all nations,
   the source of all goodness and beauty, all truth and love.
We believe in Jesus Christ,
   God manifest in the flesh,
   our teacher, example, and the Redeemer,
   the Savior of the world.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
   God present with us for guidance, for comfort, and for strength.
We believe in the forgiveness of sins,
   in the life of love and prayer,
   and in grace equal to every need.
We believe in the Word of God
   contained in the Old and New Testaments
   as the sufficient rule both of faith and practice.
We believe in the church,
   those who are united in the living Lord
   for the purpose of worship and service.
We believe in the reign of God
   as the divine will realized in human society,
   and in the family of God,
   where we are all brothers and sisters.
We believe in the final triumph of righteousness
   and in the life everlasting. Amen.

Two are better than one, because they have good reward for their toil. For if they fall,
one will lift up the other; but woe to one who is alone and falls and does not have
another to help. Again, if two lie together, they keep warm; but how can one keep
warm alone? And though one might prevail against another, two will withstand one.
A threefold cord is not quickly broken.

..a life uncommon

 
Friday, May 27, 2005


And I was lost for words
In your arms
Attempting to make sense
Of my aching heart
If I could just be
Everything and everyone to you
This life would just be so easy

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be inside you

We will make time stop
For the two of us
Make time stop
And listen for our sighs

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be inside you

In our fight against the end
Making love we are immortal
We are the last two left on earth
And I was lost for words
In your arms
Attempting to make sense of
My aching heart
If I could just be everything
And everyone to you

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
Not enough time for all my love
Not enough time for every touch

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be inside you

Question: If you could live forever, would you and why?

Answer: "I would not live forever, because we should not live
forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would
live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live
forever," --Miss Alabama in the 1994 Miss USA contest

Cat haikus


The food in my bowl
Is old, and more to the point
Contains no tuna.

So you want to play.
Will I claw at dancing string?
Your ankle's closer.

There's no dignity
In being sick - which is why
I don't tell you where.

Seeking solitude
I am locked in the closet.
For once I need you.

Tiny can, dumped in
Plastic bowl. Presentation,
One star; service: none.

Am I in your way?
You seem to have it backwards:
This pillow's taken.

Your mouth is moving;
Up and down, emitting noise.
I've lost interest.

The dog wags his tail,
Seeking approval. See mine?
Different message.

My brain: walnut-sized.
Yours: largest among primates.
Yet, who leaves for work?

The rule for today:
Touch my tail I claw your hand.
New rule tomorrow.

My affection is conditional.
Don't stand up,
It's your lap I love.

Cats can't steal the breath
Of children. But if my tail's
Pulled again, I'll learn.

I don't mind being
Teased, any more than you mind
A skin graft or two.

So you call this thing
Your "cat carrier." I call
These my "blades of death."

Toy mice, dancing yarn
Meowing sounds. I'm convinced:
You're an idiot.

The feeling of setting a goal that was seen as unattainable by everyone except us, and then turning around working balls to the wall and achieving that goal, is something that will never be understood by those who are too timid to even try for fear of failure. Taking all the forces that were set against us, with the only cards in our hand being our desire and determination, and achieving something -- that as far as I know has never been done at UT -- is a feeling that I will not soon forget.

"Chinese  Frog Can Sing Like a Bird 
                      
                                                   

July 10 — Scientists discovered that an unusual Chinese frog has the vocal skills of a songbird, science journal Nature reported recently.
A team of scientists led by Albert S. Feng of the University of Illinois in Urbana was tracking what they thought were birdcalls on the bank of Tao Hua Creek in China. Instead they discovered male frogs of the species Amolops tormotus singing in high-pitched, warbling voices to attract mates.

This is the first time a frog has been known to sing in rising and falling harmonies, said the article in Nature. All other known frog calls go up or down.

These frogs also make noises that extend into ultrasonic range, something that no other known terrestrial frog can do.

"Their range is incredible," Feng told Nature.

It is not yet known if they can actually hear their own ultrasonic sounds, but Feng and his team plan to investigate.

After analyzing over 12 recorded hours of frog songs from 21 individuals, Feng and his team discovered that no two cries were exactly alike.

Called "sunken-ear frogs" in Chinese, Amolops tormotus are different from most frogs in that the males' eardrums are not visible outside their bodies. Instead they have ear canals that lead inside the head to the eardrum, which is positioned within the skull.

Their unusual anatomy may explain why the frogs can make melodious, bird-like mating calls, Feng told Nature.

Video recordings indicate that males can control their vocal sacs independently of one another, which may explain why their songs are so diverse and complex.

SW: We don't let fear direct our lives.

I know the whole band has been through rough times and i was

Rocky roads, they're here, they're here.

For by yourself you will surely stumble and fall,

The decision is yours.
