Slur is continous bowing. Arco is staccato bowing, one bow direction change per note.

In line at the CVS yesterday, buying beer. Another clerk says "next", I pause because I can't tell if next person in line is with person being attended to already in my queue. Fraction of a second, I go over, buy some grain & hops soda from newly opened clerk.
The next person in line starts explaining to the floor how he thought the clerk
was talking to him... I figure out in an instant he's an adult autistic with him mom, and without
thinking much start explaining that I didn't know he was with his mom so I hesitated...
implying at least to me that his confusion is normal or at least understandable.
Not sure if either him or his mom got that I got them and was communicating via a special
asperger's channel :-) that tuned into him; in any case I got my beer and was amused at being
nice.
I tossed a tennis ball to some local kids kicking a soda can up the street. Felt good about that.
They weren't too weirded out. This *is* Irvine, they could have bought a ball, but..

The error appeared as the date changed from Feb. 28 to March 1. The problem appeared to cause the date on the consoles to reset to Jan. 1, 2000.
"The bug caused the clocks inside the PlayStation 3s to think that the date, February 29, 2010, existed when it didn’t," said Makiko Noda, a spokeswoman at Sony Computer Entertainment, the company’s gaming arm. “The problem was resolved naturally when the date changed to March 1 GMT,” she said.

24 is evil.
Jack Baer is a terrorist.
Fox News is Hamas. Though not democratically elected.
Everyone should have a domestic feline and a nice herb garden.
And nuclear weapons. If everyone had nukes, as Colt once observed,
all men are equal.to
Cisco has in-content adverts... the fascists network with Cisco video
networking equiptment.
Watched a Dr. Paul video.
Not good.
Rampant fascism.
But, imminent decay. When the soviets couldn't pay their Afghani
soldiers, what happened?
I hope the US troops find their way home before the US can't buy the fuel for the transports.
Yes, it will happen. No, it didn't have to. But in a democracy, stupidity wins.

Discrimination against asians and whites at UCSD:
Both Vice Chancellor Penny Rue and BSU member Grant White, a Marshall College freshman, said that Fox read each of the BSU’s demands out loud, agreeing to meet many of them instantly — like providing increased funding for the African-American studies minor and ethnic studies programs.
In addition, Associate Vice Chancellor of Admissions Mae Brown has already established a pilot admissions program that incorporates holistic review.

Jigaboo Jones on race relations, UCSD, nigsploitation, Compton, academics-activist faux sensitivity, DVD sales.
"This is for americans" not africans. Awesome.
"Me, I am compton"
--------
Two words aired on Student-Run Television Thursday night brought UCSD into the national spotlight — and into yet another campus free-speech debate. After Kris Gregorian, editor in chief of humor newspaper the Koala, said that protesters of last week’s controversial “Compton Cookout” party were “ungrateful niggers” on Channel 18, the Black Student Union declared a “State of Emergency” and issued a six-page list of demands to the university.
In response to the outrage — expressed principally by the black population at UCSD, or about 1.3 percent of 22,000 undergraduates — A.S. President Utsav Gupta immediately shut down SRTV. Then, on Friday afternoon, he unexpectedly decided to freeze all student fees toward media organizations.
Party Foul
The Feb. 15 Cookout was a racially themed fraternity party widely condemned by the BSU and the Student Affirmative Action Committee, along with Chancellor Marye Anne Fox and Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Penny Rue.
According to ABC 10 News, the party was held at the home of Pi Kappa Alpha member Elliot Van Nostrand, who was also responsible for creating the highly criticized Facebook event. (The PIKE active roster has been removed from the fraternity’s Web site. Robby Naoufal, president of the Inter-Fraternity Council, said he had no access to fraternity rosters.)
To complicate the matter further, a Youtube video has surfaced featuring black Internet personality Jiggaboo Jones, in which he claims the party was a promotional event for his DVD release. The video is widely linked in comments on news stories and forums — used to prove party planners weren’t being racist. Jones confirmed he was affiliated with the party.
“I am very upset that they would pick out my fans to try to get back at me and to start this madness,” he said.
