Contrarian Baby Names: Cliff, Janet, Steve, Wanda…
"Everly" is hot…"Beverly" is not. It's a one-letter difference between fashionable and fusty.
If you're sensitive to style, you'll prefer Everly. It fits with today's trends far better than Beverly does.
But if you're someone who isn't concerned about style, or prefers to go against style, then you may not automatically go for Everly. In fact, you may be more attracted to Beverly because it's the choice that most modern parents would avoid.
If you've ever thought about intentionally giving your baby a dated name (like Debbie, Grover, Marcia, or Vernon) for the sake of uniqueness within his/her peer group — if you have no problem sacrificing style for distinctiveness — then this list is for you.
Years ago, the concept of "contrarian" baby names came up in the comments of a post about Lois. Ever since then, creating a collection of uncool/contrarian baby names has been on my to-do list.
Finally, last month, I experimented with various formulas for pulling unstylish baby names out of the SSA dataset. Keeping the great-grandparent rule in mind, I aimed for names that would have been fashionable among the grandparents of today's babies. The names below are the best results I got.

Interestingly, thirteen of the names above — Bobbie, Cary, Dale, Jackie, Jimmie, Jody, Kerry, Kim, Lynn, Robin, Sandy, Tracey, Tracy — managed to make both lists.
Now some questions for you…
Do you like any of these names? Would you be willing to use any of them on a modern-day baby? Why or why not?

Which Baby Names Can Be Split in Two?
In 1916, the London Globe mentioned twins named Jere and Miah:
There lived for many years in the village of Twerton, Bath, one named Miah. He was born a twin, and his parents thriftily divided the predestined name of Jeremiah between them, the other babe being christened Jere.
What other names could we divide into two usable mini-names like this?
Here are a few ideas to kick things off…
Abigail, Abi + Gail
Anastasia, Ana + Stasia
Calista, Cal + Ista
Drusilla, Dru + Silla
Elizabeth, Eliza + Beth
Mozelle, Mo + Zelle
Valentina, Valen + Tina Alexander, Alex + Ander
Christopher, Chris + Topher
Denzel, Den + Zel
Donovan, Dono + Van
Joseph, Jo + Seph
Rexford, Rex + Ford
William, Wil + Liam
…what others can you think of?

This function converts an inputdate to target time zone as per your wish, isn't it cool. I am loving it, it simplified too many things. Now I don't have to write code\use dlls to convert date time – DST was the biggest issue and this function simply takes care of DST on its own.
Timezone: mention the target time zone to which you want SQL to convert your input datetime.
How SQL Server convert the timezone? Is it possible to convert to any timezone using SQL?
For SQL users there is a catalog view sys.time_zone_info, (you'll be surprised to know that this view was there since SQL 2008) which lists down all available time zones & you can convert date time into any of these available time zones.
Do you see any difference while using this function in SQL Azure Databases or SQL Server 2016?
Yes, since At Time Zone is dependent on the available time zones I see some variation. The catalog view sys.time_zone_info lists down 109 time zones for a V12 SQL Azure Database while the same catalog view on SQL Server 2016 CTP3 returns 113 time zones. In short if you are on SQL Azure Database (as of writing this blog 1-June-2016) you won't be able to convert your time zone to 4 such time zones which are available on SQL Server 2016 CTP3.
What if DST is enabled?

Roller Blinds are one of the most popular choices for Australian homes. The fabric selected for your roller blinds can determine whether your window coverings blend perfectly with the interior or stand out as a design feature.
Roman Blinds create a sophisticated look in any room. The beautiful soft folds of a roman blind add elements of style to your interior.
Panel Glide Blinds are suitable for rooms with large open spaces and look particularly effective in lounge and living areas. Panel blinds are the perfect solution to dress wide window spaces such as sliding and bi-fold doors.
Vertical Blinds are a more traditional approach to window coverings and are especially suited for sliding or bi-fold doors. Their tilting fabric strips provide excellent light control with a total blockout option when required.
The next step is to consider the level of privacy you require for different areas throughout the home. The three most common types of opacity available in window covering fabrics are: Transparent (or sheer), Translucent and Blockout.
Transparent – Transparent (or sheer) fabrics diffuse the light to give you a clear view through the window with privacy during the day. Transparent fabrics are ideal for living areas, where glare protection and light control are often important considerations. Provides privacy in the day but at night people can see in. Provides sun protection (lighter colours provide better protection). Good for living spaces where privacy is not a concern at night, or to be used in conjunction with a blockout blind or curtain.
Translucent – Translucent (or light filtering) fabrics offer greater privacy, particularly during the day. Translucent fabrics are perfect for living areas, by providing privacy and UV protection while light is gently filtered into the room.
Blockout – Blockout (or blackout) fabrics block out the light and give you complete privacy. By effectively minimising light penetration, blockout fabrics offer the maximum possible protection from heat, glare and UV.
You will need to think about the overall interior design scheme, that is both the colour and texture of a fabric can have a huge impact on the overall design of a room. Different textures and textiles can have a dramatic effect on light and mood in the room. Textural fabrics can provide a softer look or a design statement with the appearance of a subtle pattern in the weave. To enable you choose a fabric that blends perfectly with your interior or stands out as a prominent design feature – discuss this with your retailer.

It sends cops scripted talking points to publish on social media and canned outreach messages to post on Neighbors. The company also asks police departments to sign confidential agreements, which often include a clause promising not to issue public statements about Ring before they are first vetted by Ring itself. "The relationship between the company and the police departments doesn't necessarily seem to be completely about public safety," says Dave Maass, a senior investigative researcher at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. "They seem to be enlisting law enforcement in a sort of sales role. "When police departments go even slightly off script, Ring pushes back. In April, the Bloomfield Police Department in New Jersey announced it was partnering with Ring and published a press release on social media that, according to documents obtained from another public records request, appeared to be almost entirely written by the company.

When It Comes to Teaching the Voting Rights Act, this Professor Literally Wrote the Book
This year is the 55th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, and it comes with many reminders of the complex state of voting rights and election law in the U.S. The Covid-19 pandemic has complicated the logistics of voter registration and elections. A June report from the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation and Research shows a significant decline in new voter registration numbers compared to the months leading up to the last presidential election in 2016. This summer the American Bar Association's Human Rights Magazine devoted two issues to voting rights, including discussions of voter roll purges, racial gerrymandering, and cybersecurity issues and concerns.
Against this backdrop, we spoke recently with McGeorge Professor Emeritus Brian Landsberg about the election law course he co-teaches with Professor Mary-Beth Moylan. The course is part of McGeorge's online Masters in Government Law & Policy.
Professor Landsberg's teaching is grounded in his experience as an attorney in the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice, beginning in the tumultuous 1960s. At that time Landsberg was based in Alabama, helping to litigate cases involving the denial of the right to register to vote.
Marching During "Bloody Sunday"
"I was in Selma on the day called 'Bloody Sunday,'" Landsberg says, "when state troopers and sheriff's deputies attacked people who were marching from Selma to Montgomery to protest the denial of the right to vote." "And that," Landsberg continues, "led to the adoption of the Voting Rights Act, and I worked on cases to enforce it." In his role as a lawyer in the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, Landsberg explains, "my first responsibilities were to help litigate cases involving the denial of the right to register to vote in Alabama."
The work Landsberg did gave him the raw material for a book he wrote about the Alabama origins of the 1965 voting rights act. Landsberg's book, Free at Last to Vote: The Alabama Origins of the Voting Rights Act, explains how work done quietly in district courtrooms of the South paved the way for groundbreaking civil rights legislation. It addresses how the Voting Rights Act came about by focusing on several key cases in Alabama.
Landsberg Role in the Voting Rights Act
Landsberg's direct role in the work that helped shape the passage of the Voting Rights Act informs his election law course and the central position of the Voting Rights Act within the curriculum. Landsberg's course devotes two weeks exclusively to the Voting Rights Act.
"The first of those two weeks," Landsberg explains, "focus on what were called the special provisions of the Act. The special provisions targeted states that have a history of denying the right to vote based on race." "In those states," Landsberg continues, "the Attorney General of the U.S. could appoint people to register voters where the local registrars refused to register them to vote. The Attorney General could send observers to the polling places to make sure elections were fairly run. And, if a state wanted to change its voting laws, the Attorney General could review the changes because the state had to prove that the change would not have the purpose or effect of discriminating based on race. The course goes over these special provisions in great detail."
After spending a week focusing on the special provisions of the Act focused on certain states, Landsberg says students spend another week studying the section of the Voting Rights Act that applies nationally. "This part of the Act," says Landsberg, says that "states may not apply any voting standard or practice that has the result of discriminating based on race."
Other topics in the McGeorge election law course include racial and political gerrymandering, constitutional principles, election administration, and major and minor political parties. Issues of campaign finance, bribery, and public financing of elections are also addressed.
The Voting Rights Act Today
The Voting Rights Act is incredibly relevant today, says Landsberg. Its provisions speak to questions the public raises about voter suppression, voter fraud, mail-in voting, early voting, and polling places. The course and the grounding it provides in voting rights is useful to all students of government law and policy, and especially useful to students working in government agencies, with campaigns, or who are otherwise engaged with elections.

Fermentation is popular because it is an energy efficient way to preserve food; produces fermented foods that have health benefits such as: improvement of digestive function; may help diabetics; offers an array of possibilities; tastes better than commercially produced. This class will be taught by Project Grow Board member and gardener Calin Sferdean. Calin is a Romanian born scientist who loves gardening, cooking, baking and preserving foods. His nonprofessional interests include sustainable living and natural resources conservation. He successfully completed last year the master composting program offered by Project Grow. Calin will share his family recipe that traveled with his family from unknown regions of Russia to Transylvania. The preparation involves combining simple ingredients such as: cucumbers, horseradish, garlic, hot peppers, thyme, carrots, parsley root, tarragon, thyme, salt and water to create crispy fresh tasting fermented cucumbers. This is a demonstration class. Fee: $5. Walk-ins are welcome. To register: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/pickling-and-fermenting-tickets-36594171151.
It's nearly that time to register for fall-winter classes and events offered in the Ann Arbor parks and at our facilities. Swim, ice skating and hockey lessons, golf outings and leagues, cultural events, volunteer opportunities and so much more. To view the 64-page parks activity guide visit http://www.a2gov.org/parks.

Centre match Western Red Cedar cladding has no bevel or shadow recess, so it creates a totally flat surface with just a thin joint line where the boards meet. Its lightly textured surface creates a visible wood grain effect to give a look reminiscent of vintage boards but with a high end contemporary feel.
We have limited stocks of this profile which we are selling at a heavily reduced price. It's not a standard stock item, it comes and goes as and when we can source it, so if we have what you need, snap it up before it goes!
Cedar cladding produced from one of highest grades commercially available: 'A & Better Clear' (comparable to No. 2 Clear & Better) and a high percentage of the boards are vertical grain, making it even more desirable. Although the grading rules allow occasional small knots, you probably won't find any at all. The wood fibre is British Columbia old-growth Western Red Cedar and it comprises almost entirely, if not entirely of heartwood. It is produced by Terminal Forest Products, a Canadian manufacturer whose quality standards surpass anyone else in the cedar industry.
Occasionally we are able to source limited quantities of this product which we offer on the Specials List at a very attractive price whilst stocks last. The caveat is that we don't sort the boards in any way, it's just sold in packs of 6 as it comes into us. You will encounter some occasional damage and imperfections which will need trimming out. By optimising boards – i.e. planning the position of each board and cutting accordingly – you will recover a very high percentage of material. We therefore recommend factoring a slightly higher wastage allowance than the normal 10% to allow for trimming. Note also that this cladding is graded from the textured face only and intended for installation with this face exposed.
This centre match cladding has a SAWtex® textured face.
The SAWtex® face will accept and retain finish significantly better than the planed face, thus improving appearance and minimising future maintenance. The open grain allows finish to penetrate deeply and consistently into the wood, so not only will it look better – with a richer and more even colour - it will last longer in between maintenance coats too (studies by wood scientists have shown up to 3 times longer).
This cladding is kiln dried to a moisture content of 16-18% (+/-2%), the optimal moisture content for external cladding in the UK. Among its many benefits over air drying, the kiln drying process enables the boards to dry uniformly to achieve optimum dimensional stability. It also enables immediate application of coatings and minimises site acclimatisation. Read more about the benefits of kiln dried timber.

Labour 'only doing better because May is utterly shit'
LABOUR should not assume they are great just because voters really loathe Theresa May, experts have warned.
Delegates at the party conference have been advised that recent electoral gains could be entirely due to May being incredibly shit at everything political.
Professor Henry Brubaker of the Institute for Studies said: "There may be some public interest in Labour's policies but it's more likely voters thought, 'I'd rather vote for a dead squirrel than May.'
"It's assumed Corbyn is respected for his principles, but it could just be that he doesn't wear brown leather flares or belted trouser suits that make him look like one of Dr No's henchmen.
"As a result Labour could face a tough electoral battle if the Tories replace May with literally anyone who isn't her, whether it's a random woman from a cafe or the Chuckle Brothers."
Voter Nikki Hollis said: "I think what appeals to me most about Labour is the way Theresa May isn't in it."
UK responds thoughtfully to German election with Hitler jokes
BRITONS have responded to the worrying rise of the far-right in Germany with thoughtful, well-considered Hitler jokes, it has emerged.
After Alternative fur Deutschland won a large share of the vote, the intelligent and measured British reaction was to joke about the Nazis and extremely well-worn Germanic stereotypes.
Office worker Martin Bishop said: "I'm surprised the AfD did so well because I assumed they'd be driving around in their panzers trying to pinch all the sun loungers!
"Personally a revival of the German far-right doesn't worry me, because as Corporal Jones said, 'They don't like it up 'em!'. Ha ha."
Bishop then amused colleagues by singing the wartime song about Hitler having one testicle, although the relevance to the 2017 Bundestag election was unclear.
Teacher Tom Logan said: "History has taught us we have to take the far-right in Germany very seriously.
"Sorry, I just got distracted thinking about the Fallen Madonna with ze Big Boobies."

LUXOTIC NC with Guillotine V2 is one of my e-cigarettes. I have a lot of high-power e-cigarettes, but this product makes me deeply love. Although it has no cool LED designs on the market, I'm in love with its Old-school Style.
Yes, we can all see that many new electronic cigarettes are now colourful LED designs. Settings can also set different lighting colors. But I don't know why. I just don't like it. I know that's not what I want. When I first saw this product, I was attracted by its unique appearance. What is the LUXOTIC NC with Guillotine V2 vape kit? This is a product of a mixture of resin material and stainless steel, and its workmanship is very fine. I can even observe every detail of the design, perfect.
I think the other attraction I have is its control experience. This is a device without a diaplay, but it does not affect the fun it brings. With a voltage-free adjustment knob on the side, you can freely park the voltage at your favorite spot. And the feeling of the knob is really much cooler than the electronic adjustment. I feel like I can play all day. There is a switch on the top of this product, which can only be easily adjusted in parallel and series mode. If you want to experience the shock, it is that simple. It is really a unique product and it has its own style. I think someone will feel the same special as me.

Zynga posts loss on pricey stock compensation costs
By Laurie Segall @CNNMoneyTech February 14, 2012: 6:25 PM ET
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- In its first financial report as a public company, Zynga edged past analysts' expectations but posted a loss thanks to its large stock-based compensation expenses.
The casual gaming pioneer, best known for its -Ville franchises like FarmVille, reported sales of $311 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31. Excluding stock compensation costs, Zynga had net income for the quarter of $37 million, or 5 cents per share. That topped the 3 cents per share consensus forecast of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
But Zynga's compensation expenses ate through its profit. For the full 2011 fiscal year, Zynga posted a net loss of $404 million on sales of $1.2 billion. Zynga's stock-based compensation expenses for the year totaled $510 million.
Without those expenses, Zynga's net income for the year would have been $182 million. That's a 24% decline from 2010, a drop Zynga attributed to its increased investment in developing new games.
Zynga's (ZNGA) share price fell 9% in after-hours trading immediately following its financial report, but quickly bounced back to trade essentially flat with Tuesday's $14.35 per share closing price.
Zynga's 2011 sales rose 38% compared to 2010, topping $1 billion for the first time.
The company's "monthly active users," a closely watched metric tracking how many people are playing Zynga's games, reached 240 million in the fourth quarter -- up 23% compared to a year earlier.
Zynga went public in December, raising $1 billion in an offering that valued the company at around $7 billion. Zynga competes in a fast-growing market with with rivals including Electronic Arts (ERTS) and Disney (DIS, Fortune 500)-owned Playdom and PopCap Games.
On his conference call with analysts, CEO Mark Pincus fielded questions about his management style. Some news stories have drawn attention to Zynga's intensely competitive and occasionally workaholic corporate culture.
When asked directly about how he describes his leadership style, the CEO quipped: "I don't know if I can answer that in one sentence." He called the quiet period around Zynga's offering -- a time when companies can't easily respond to critics -- a "difficult" stretch.
"My values, Zynga's values are on the wall here," Pincus said. "If you read those values, that's my management style."
Pincus meant that literally. Zynga has its "6 core values" painted on its office walls. The list includes "level up" and "move at Zynga speed."
Zynga's ability to keep rolling out hit games is critical to its future revenue streams. The company keeps improving its game testing and analytics, Pincus said.
"We're constantly learning and improving the process that we use to bring new games to market," he said. "Were continuously adding more early check points to test what we call 'the very fun rating' of our games against our target audiences."
Pincus also said that Facebook's latest changes to boost content sharing across the site have been positive for Zynga.
"In recent quarters they've focused and partnered with us to innovate around the type of social gaming experience their user base can enjoy," he said. "You're starting to see some of the benefits, in terms of increasing user engagement."

Richie Hawtin: DE9 2005

Carl was the star of that night because he is clearly a PEOPLE'S DJ. Richie, nowadays, seems to be there for himself mostly.
Ritchie is at a point in his life where he CAN do whatever he likes musically. And he should.
If he was playing miminal slow stuff at the guv. he wasn't doin it cause he's ignorant about what the crowd wanted. He knows EXACTLY what the crowd wants. He did it for a specific reason. Whatever that reason may have been.
Once again respect to him for keepin it deep, and not neccesarily catering to what the mainstream audiences wanted.
The guv crowd took WAY longer getting "started" on this particular night than any night I've ever been there. People were standing in the middle of the dancefloor, chatting, at 2am! I overheard people commenting like "when is he going to pick it up" and so on.
Oh shit, I have the answer!!
It's because at 2:00am the Tryptophan from their Thanksgiving turkey was still wearing off and their E's hadn't quite kicked in yet.

No, I don't respect a DJ who has been touring the world for years and thinks they can get up there for thousands upon thousands of dollars and forget who is paying them to be there.
I can respect an artist who perhaps goes in a different direction and gets experimental, trying new things - but at the end of the day, a DJ is there for the people on the dancefloor and you have to find a balance between what they want and what fits the night and your own personal style. If Richie is going to be playing like he's at the fuckin opera, then take gigs somewhere where we can all sit down and have a cup of tea and watch him flip his hair back and forth while he twiddles knobs and overuses the filter.
maybe he wanted to give the people something a little different than what they're normally used to? in my opinion that's also a 'good' dj's responsibility. Possibly even play shit they didn't even know existed. whether it's mass dancefloor oriented or not.
and the opera example is a little extreme, no? i've heard from a number of people that the stuff he played at guvernment that night was great. so i'm sure it didn't vary TOO far off of stuff that should make people dance.
Dj's of his stature play out and get thousands of dollars by what they have established over the years. Like any mature rock band, after a while, you start producing music that interests you. When said material is released, the die hard fans will like it no matter what, because they respect his/her creative abilities. Richie Hawtin is at that stage in his life where he's played everything, been everywhere, yet still people will come to see him play. he can create folk music and people will still like it. I thnk he is cognizant of what people want to hear, but is trying to cut another new path in the way people hear his music. Look at Kenny glasgow. when he switched to playing electro, there wasn't alot of people who enjoyed that music. yet he continued to play it, regardless of what the club people wanted to hear. he played what he wanted and those who liked continued to support him.
oddmyth
Yeah? Like that time he bored the shit out of the audience at Mutek by trying to not only play live but also do the visuals?
That's the way to entertain my friend

"Playing for the crowd" is an implicit assumption I completely disagree with.

i'd also be willing to wager that no matter how 'bad/inappropriate' he played at the guv, his next event in toronto will be well attended....
so who cares really.
when all is said and done he's had more hits than miss (as far as my tastes go)

i will be transitioning on the evening of November 1st
DE9: Transitions
Well I stopped in at HMV and picked it up tonight after work.
I've listened to it twice and I like it. The production is great. The mix starts off pretty slow but builds nicely and about halfway through it actually starts cooking (a little). Tracks 14 through 18 seem to be the standouts, so far anyway. I do recognize a number of tracks from the Guv set a of couple weeks back. Haven't heard the dvd yet though.
Is it groundbreaking?
Will we haul it out 10 or 15 (or 20) years from now and say, hmmmmmm … ... interesting.
Re: DE9: Transitions

To be honest, the reason I play music is because the music and I have a relationship. I don't really have a relationship with the crowd. Sometimes a crowd can enter into the dynamic of my music-making and I suppose when that trio is working in harmony you maximize everyone's enjoyment -- however, I do not specifically believe that it is necessary to play for a crowd. There is a certain respect gained for DJs who have and use that ability (to shape their music to the crowd's aggregate mood) but I do not think that it is a real qualifier for a DJ in any way.
but I do not think that it is a real qualifier for a DJ in any way.
no, the qualifier is anyone who puts on music for other's to listen to. (ussually helps if the choice is a secret until it's played)
This is guvernment. ANything Richie plays - particularly if it was harder and less "progressive" - is going to be something different than what they are used to.
So are you suggesting he WAS playing to the crowd, or was just playing for himself?
well i wasn't there, but from what i heard, NOT playin for the crowd. - and him obviously not givin a shit.
ya know? how bout a lil musical mainstream resistance? yeah, it's very rare these days unfortunately.
but this IS techno.
Blah blah blah.... y'all are talking out yo' mouths but you ain't sayin' nothin.
oh i'm saying somethin.
OK now that I've heard the dvd, I'm upgrading my opinion to "buy".
I was skeptical that the dvd would be much different than the cd. Well I was wrong ... it is noticably different. I have a pretty good 5.1 system and that helps differentiate it, no doubt. Yes, finally some music actually *designed* for 5.1 and it is sweet. It really seems to come "alive". Richer bass, a seemingly fuller spectrum of sounds and the "surround" effect is pretty noticable. The dvd version is fully 22 minutes longer than the other. Surprisingly, on first listen I was hard pressed to even recognize the tunes. I thought .. "is this the same mix??". I actually had to do a side-by-side comparison to convince myself that it is in fact based on the same underlying tracks (albeit extended). I like the on-screen "transitioning" track display showing what's playing in the mix in "real time" so to speak. As someone said, there are aften 5 or 6 tracks in the mix at any given time.
And for the Richie fans of yore, there's a 30 minute live clip from Time Warp this year (unfortunately not in 5.1). Leaning more towards the bangin' side of techno, you can watch Richie flick his blond bangs out of his eyes for 30 minutes straight.
For $24.99, there's a lot of value in this package. For any fan of techno, it is a worthwhile addition to the collection.
I'm not suggesting he play "mainstream." It's safe to say that Hawtin has fully steered away from mainstream in every possible sense of the word.
However, it is still possible to play for himself, for the crowd, and stay away from being "mainstream." He started doing that in the last half of his set. Why he had to take everyone through a warm up phase at 2am is beyond me...
vodka_soda
Told ya
digitalux
so of course i am getting distracted while studying... by this thread! The previous comments you made were hilarious.... there are some riTchie Haters !!
Actually - I LIKED the warm up part of his set.... it reminded me of how minimal techno is distinct and why it will never fit into clubs; it reminded me that experimental or more artsy and creative music is not appreciated in a club that caters to an audience that only wants to party and not stop and think and hear what they are listening to... I liked it probably because at the time I was just done working and had been completely sober. It's sometimes a little chaotic to walk into a place like the guv and not feel on the same level as a bunch of really high people...
Ok - so I am not being particularly academic or intelligent in my response. The point is that I've always found Richie's sets to be interesting at art events like Mutek in MTL. but also... that time 2 yrs ago was poorly planned out - it was not fun watching him stressed out performing on stage, and also was not what people wanted (as Skipper said) at 2 am! people want to party...
but I really think Hawtin knows how to bang out the music - so I would speculate that he does his minimal thing to assert that he is in fact different and can dable in both (art and club) worlds or something like that... i really don't mind it much.
i wasn't there, but this sounds like everytime i've ever heard him play live - long minimal 'warm up phase', and then after an hour or two he starts dropping the minimal funk, and people go crazy.
i've always liked how he builds and releases tension, and i admire the patience and confidence required to play 'difficult' music to an audience that might not be ready for it.
he's made a career doing this, so i don't know why we'd expect him to be any different now.
why not, I'd generally agree with you, yet while I do not follow Hawtin *very* closely, I would say that of the 6 (??) times I've seen him play out, 4 of those times has been straight-up banging techno.
Incidentally, did you freaks make note of Aquaviva's set in the Drink when he was here? It had the room absolutely pumped.
were you there from the beginning of his sets those times?
i've probably seen him about 8 or 9 times over the years, and everytime he played a certain amount of 'brain-fuck' minimal before picking it up.

10 Questions to Ask When Creating Your Company's YouTube Channel
Image credit: bloomua / Shutterstock.com
A YouTube channel can put your business in front of today's largest online viewing audience. Some 800 million people worldwide visit YouTube every month, many of them to research and discover products and services before investing in them.
If your company can reach even a fraction of that audience with your own branded YouTube video channel, the time and effort to create one can pay off, says Michael Miller, author of YouTube for Business: Online Video Marketing For Any Business (Que Publishing, 2nd edition, 2011). "YouTube is an incredibly effective tool for attracting new customers and even more effective for serving existing customers."
Here are 10 key questions to ask when creating your company's YouTube channel:
1. What do I want to achieve with my YouTube channel?
Choose a well-defined goal for your YouTube channel before uploading videos, suggests Lane Shackleton, product manager for YouTube. "Having a clear vision of what you are building the channel for helps clarify not only the type of video content you'll provide, but also exactly what you hope to gain from providing it," he says. For example, do you want to showcase new products, drive sales, boost traffic to your website, engage current and future customers or simply tell your brand story?
RevZilla.com, a Philadelphia-based motorcycle apparel, parts and accessories online retailer, designed its YouTube channel to answer common customer questions about sizes and fit for many of its products. Most of Revzilla's 2,000-plus YouTube videos show staff members trying on jackets and helmets and discussing which sizes best match their body types.

2. Do I need to create multiple channels?
If your company sells distinctly different products and services, you might consider rolling out several YouTube channels tailored to each one. For example, Procter & Gamble has its own YouTube channel, as well as channels for many of its brands, including Gillette, Pampers and Tide.
3. How do I customize my channel background?
When designing your YouTube channel, Shackleton recommends mirroring your company's existing online look, including the color schemes and logos on your website. You can choose a background color for your channel and then upload your background image.
4. Should I upload commercials about my products and services?
People come to YouTube to be entertained, educated and informed, not to watch commercials, Miller says. "The idea is to put helpful, informative videos on YouTube that enhance your company's image without being overly promotional," he says.
For example, BBQGuys.com, a Baton Rouge, La.-based site that sells grills and outdoor cooking accessories, offers cooking tutorial videos on its YouTube channel. The videos teach people how to barbeque meals quickly, while driving viewers' back to the BBQ Guys' online store.
5. How should I describe and tag my videos?
Video descriptions should be concise -- no more than a couple of short sentences. Shackleton suggests including the URL to your company's website or online store in the first sentence of the video description to try to encourage visits.
Also use keyword search terms in your video descriptions. For example, if your company produces red velvet cupcakes and you're posting a behind-the-scenes video showing how they're made, add keyword tags like "cupcakes," "red velvet," "frosting" "gourmet" and "baking." That way, cupcake lovers can easily find it via search engines and YouTube search.

6. How should I organize my video content?
Instead of presenting your videos in a single long list, group them into playlists by topic or theme. With a little navigation, viewers can more easily find videos that interest them.
7. Should I produce my own videos and how often should I post them?
The decision to shoot your own videos or hire a production company depends on how much time and money you're willing to invest. If your resources are limited, Shackleton suggests simply shooting videos with your smartphone or an HD video camera. Over time, as your profits and marketing budget increase, you can invest in better recording equipment, lighting and perhaps even a studio.
Upload new videos as often as your schedule and budget allow. "If you post a new, interesting video every week, then people will eventually start showing up automatically for you," Shackleton says. "You'll build a repeat audience."
8. Should I allow comments on my videos?
Allowing people to comment on your videos should encourage them to share their experiences with your brand and show that you're open to feedback. You can automatically display comments, display them only after you've approved them or keep them hidden. If you enable comments, you still have the option to delete any that are inappropriate or spammy.
Anthony Bucci, co-founder of RevZilla.com, says the comments section is "where we directly interact with and engage our community," helping to keep it active and growing. It's important, he adds, to respond in the most helpful and authentic way possible.
9. How should I promote my channel?
Every time you upload a new video, share a direct link to it across all of your business's social media networks. You can embed your YouTube videos and playlists in your business's website or blog.
You can also try to build an audience for your videos with Google Adwords for video, which lets you create and manage video promotions on YouTube and elsewhere online. Google Adwords campaigns are cost-per-view (CPV). To set a CPV bid, you enter the highest price you want to pay. For example, if you think it's worth 25 cents for someone to watch your video, set that amount as your maximum CPV. Then you pay only when people watch your video.
10. How can I measure my channel's success?
YouTube offers a free, self-service viewership analytics and reporting tool called YouTube Analytics. It tells you how many people watch your videos, how often, and how they discovered your videos.
YouTube Analytics also shows you how many subscribers you have, as well as how many likes, dislikes, comments and shares each video has received. Tracking which videos are most popular, along with the precise moment people stop watching them, can help you learn which types of content resonate with your viewers.
