The Sin City BetBot Presents: A Pound of Hate
Fantasy Sharks December 16, 2005
Initially built by NASA to set lines for the Las Vegas casinos in the late 50's (who do you think funded the Apollo missions? The government? It was the mob…), The Sin City Betbot 6000 calculated lines for over 30 years. The Betbot was given various upgrades through the years, not always with the best equipment, but he was very good at setting lines, and living the good life.
The Betbot was de-commissioned in 1990 after San Francisco destroyed Denver in the Super Bowl. The 45 point spread simply fried a number of the Betbot's wires and he retired. The Betbot was discovered by Fantasysharks.com and retooled to give fantasy advice. He lives now to help your team with deeper sleepers to start each week.
The Betbot's column is transcribed each week by Chris Dolfi, Joe Petrizzi and Tom Walls, because, "Typing is a dame's BZZZT job."
OK, the LVP votes have been tallied and we're ready to present the awards. I want to thank the shark tank for making such a large contribution – nearly 30 people voted for the LVP awards and had a big impact on exactly who gets to take home the …BZT… hardware. Before I get more e-mail this year about the awards, let me remind you that 1)I'm soaked in Gin right now and 2)You helped me pick these players. Just to review the award criteria:
Merrill Hoge LVP award (6) – awarded to the player who was the most disappointing fantasy player at his position – think high expectations, low return (like …BZZT… Hoge's prom night).
Here's how the votes get tallied: First, I take everyone's vote from the shark tank forums, based on this thread: https://www.fantasysharks.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=68319 . The forum votes at each position account for 15 points out of 60. To account for the other 45 points, I run my exclusive Jackpot™ algorithm three different times and each run allocates 15 points per position across a group of players. Jackpot™ was originally designed to set the lines for special all-star football events like the East-West game and the Pro Bowl. However, Dolfi re-programmed it to analyze the best and worst fantasy performers for the season, which is nice because I can use it to determine exactly which players were sucky enough to …BZZT… call themselves Merrill Hoge winners.
I'd explain more but, to be blunt, you wouldn't understand anyway. Let's just say that there isn't a more accurate LVP voting method in existence, and I mean that with all the sincerity of a drunken robot that tallied these up during happy hour at the …BZT… Kit Kat Klub on Wednesday night. Of course, you expect nothing less from the same website that brings you The Progno every week.
Before we get to the winners, let me remind you that I'm running my Royal Flush MVP voting this week, so check out the Main Tank in the forums for the MVP thread, and I'll be back next week with a couple of MVP winners!
On to the awards, I'm going to post the top 5 finishers in each race (with first place votes in parentheses) – for the full voting results see the LVP thread in the main tank.
Pct. Of Total
Culpepper (4)
Leftwich
Roethlisberger
This is about as easy as it gets when giving out …BZZT… hardware. Not only did Daunte Culpepper garner 44.5% of the total vote, he received all 4 first place votes, a veritable landslide of support. And can you really blame us? Culpepper was probably a first round pick in most leagues and he came out shooting more blanks than Tom Cruise. And then just when Culpepper owners were finally ready to sit him down for good, he mercifully ended his season with a severe …BZZZT… knee injury. He more than deserves to win this year's Merrill Hoge LVP Award at QB and has a great shot at winning the Grand Balloon Knot award in two weeks. Does anyone else cringe when they see his FedEx commercial? There hasn't been a reputation go this bad this quickly since America found out Howard Dean was nuts.
The shark tank had no problems throwing their support behind Culpepper, who garnered 78% of the forum vote, here's some choice quotes for you Daunte, thanks for ruining so many fantasy seasons!
Coalesce – "[Culpepper] sucked before injury, Brad Johnson turning the season around makes him look bad."
Dragonz20 – "[Culpepper] sucked when he was healthy and sucked when he was hurt."
Decktard – "[Culpepper's] injury was the highlight of the year… owners didn't have to agonize over the decision to start him anymore."
Well said gentlemen. You're good men, good bleeping men. The rest of the finalists were …BZT… busts, but nothing on the scale of Culpepper. Kerry Collins failed to live up to the lofty expectations that come with a Randy Moss infusion, and Trent Green, Donovan McNabb, Byron Leftwich, and Ben Roethlisberger all share a portion of third place. This was a year of QB surprises, and we all know surprises aren't always good. Just ask Joey 'Ice Pick' Vernini, he met an untimely …BZZZT… demise when he had a heart attack at his own surprise party. Three party planners were subsequently whacked, as they …BZT…say.
J.Lewis (3)
K.Jones
J.Jones
McGahee (1)
It was a little closer on the RB voting, mostly based on the large number of Jones' that decided to add to the legend of the …BZT… sophomore jinx. I nearly had a bad sophomore year back in '59, but what we found out was that the club manager at the Sands had mistakenly substituted my request for Beefeater Gin with Gordon's. Once we fixed the problem I returned to normal, but let's just say that Artie didn't last long in the business. Some things you just need to know, and a club manager needs to know the difference between top shelf liquor and frat party liquor. It's also important for them to understand the difference between a classy, classy call girl and a regular street worker. That's how you build a …BZT… solid rep in a town like this.
Anyway, Jamal Lewis gets the nod with over 32% of the total vote. I know a lot of guys who went to jail and really got into shape. Lewis went to jail and got fitted with lead shoes, having a year we would all like to forget. Has anyone checked to see if they removed the ball and chain from his legs? Between the poor performance early in the year and the Chester Taylor time-sharing arrangement later in the year (culminating with the Taylor start last week), well let's just say that I don't think Lewis will be wearing Ravens purple next year. And he won't be wearing the …BZZZT… colors of many a fantasy team, either, with 43% of the forum voting for Jamal.
Thrasher2005 – "Jamal Lewis – So much for a repeat performance? I saw projections for about 1,800 and 12 tds…"
Agenda42 – "Jamal Lewis has been utterly horrible, and with no major injuries to boot."
Beerbarian – "Jamal Lewis. Many people on this site were down on Kevin Jones and we were warned against A. Green, so the award goes to Jamal."
Lewis may have drawn the ire of fantasy owners in the tank, but at least he'll always have his Merrill Hoge LVP Award to put on his mantle. A surprise first-place vote to Willis McGahee, the self-proclaimed "best back in the league", who made a lot of people look silly for touting him as the next great RB stud. One thing to learn from our list? Other than injuries, the biggest indicator for RB failure appears to be …BZT… lack of QB play – each of our healthy LVP finalists suffered from some kind of Boller mucking up the works. It's not easy to get fantasy production when the defense is stacking the line because your QB can't move the football.
R. Moss (3)
M.Clayton
Burleson (1)
A. Johnson
J.Walker
Our closest vote yet, with Randy Moss squeaking by Michael Clayton to earn the WR award. I must say that either of these guys would have made a fine choice for LVP, and Nate Burleson even made this a three horse race on the back of his first place vote. But in the end, Moss wins the Merrill Hoge LVP Award at WR. Moss and Kerry Collins never really got into synch – that may have to do with an injury to Randy early in …BZT… the season; or maybe Randy and Daunte are some sort of symbiote creature whose separation is causing a slow death to their careers. I don't know…I'm just throwing out some …BZZZT… bleeping theories. I can't explain how both of them could start sucking out loud all at once. At least we can say that Clayton and Burleson didn't have a steady production history, so there was risk built in to their expectations even though they looked like prime cuts in August. But Moss? He's the only receiver to see first round action since Jerry Rice.
Moss was our winner in the shark tank as well, with a larger 36% of votes to Clayton's 29%.
Panechevitz – "R. Moss – over hyped, now referred to as the Collins Factor."
Agenda42 – "Randy Moss isn't even the best guy in the NFL named Moss…or the best producing WR on his team. Yeah, Owens was a disaster too, but Moss needed 13 games to get what TO did in 7."
Dragonz20 – "Randy Moss ~ he wasn't worth where he was most likely drafted as the first or second overall WR."
Finn2056 – "Randy Moss. His presence was supposed to turn Collins and Porter into fantasy studs. Instead, we get the Tui and Lamont show in Oak-town."
Windsor2003 –"Randy Moss – what a miserable disappointment."
Nicely said boys. Honorable mention goes to Andre Johnson and Javon Walker. Johnson was sometimes hurt and sometimes awful, and he never lived up to his supposed breakout 3rd season after solid rookie and sophomore campaigns. Walker was supposed to be one of the top receivers in the league this year but blew his knee exactly 24 minutes after being drafted at the top of many, many fantasy drafts. Plus, he gets …BZZT… bonus hate points for the Drew Rosenhaus slime that rubbed off on him due to his ridiculous holdout.
Gonzalez (1)
Witten (1)
B. Franks
D. Clark (1)
S. Alexander (1)
Well, it was hard to pick a …BZT… winner here. Tony Gonzalez scored nearly a third of the total points but only one first-place vote. To be honest, he didn't have an awful year in terms of yardage, but he didn't get into the end zone. When you consider that he was a top 3 TE pick again in most leagues, and probably taken way before the second tier guys, well, that gets you voted the Merrill Hoge LVP winner at TE. Tony, you just can't set everyone's expectations that high and then tank the season, it's just not professional. If the owners down at the Palomino club all of a sudden trotted out some toothless brutes, how long do you think they'd stay open for business? Use your head, man.
Gonzalez was the landslide winner in the shark tank, garnering 67% of the vote.
Coalesce – "Tony G – finally turned around his season a little after abysmal start. He still has less touchdowns than a couple backup TE's."
Thrasher2005 – "Tony Gonzales – Hampered by immensely resurgent running game…and a receiver called Kenninson)."
Finn2056 – "Gonzo – 737 yards and 2 touchdowns aren't bad, but it is a huge dropoff from last year's 1258 and 7."
Other first-place vote getters include Jason Witten, who went from …BZZT… Bill Parcells' favorite weapon on offense last season to an afterthought this season, much to the chagrin of fantasy owners everywhere; Dallas Clark, who really should have been more productive in Indianapolis now that Marcus Pollard is with the Lions; and Stephen Alexander, who sucked so bad even the slightest amount of expectation earned him a 5th place tie. Bubba Franks continues to …BZT… disappoint, although with his production in recent years we'll probably stop expecting much from him as Brett Favre's red zone flavor of choice. Jermaine Wiggins was supposed to help boost the passing offense in Minnesota after a decent year as H-back last season, but that panned out as well as Philip Rivers' contract negotiation strategy.
Akers (2)
Vinatieri (1)
Longwell (1)
Janikowski
We're picking kickers? What the bleep?!?! Whose idea was this? I'm calling Tony as soon as I'm done dictating this …BZT… article. Look, I won't belabor the point here, except to say that both David Akers and Adam Vinatieri were about as solid as you get at kicker for the last several seasons, and both of them failed their owners this year.
However, I think you have to go with Akers here for the Merrill Hoge LVP Award at K, a disappointing season all around for the Eagles means a bad season for…BZT… the kicker. Add in a freak injury, some crying on the sideline, and you got a real train wreck on your hands for a top 3 kicker pick. The tank agreed with me, throwing 50% of their vote behind Akers.
Dragonz20 – "Akers ~ injury to him and his team really affected his fantasy football production."
Windsor2003 –"David Akers -his injury and the offensive implosion = barf sandwiches."
Ryan Longwell sneaks in a first place vote as the …BZT… Packers fell off a cliff this season (not that I didn't warn you in August), and honorable mentions to Sebastian Janikowski (if that guy's sea bass…) and Jeff Wilkins, kickers on teams whose offenses weren't exactly the powerhouses we expected.
D/ST
Baltimore and New England split the first place votes here, and it's really a two horse race. But I think most reasonable people can agree that the Ravens beat out the Patriots for the Merrill Hoge LVP Award at D/ST. The Pats…BZZZT…may have 'won' except the injuries to Ray Lewis and Ed Reed cemented a bad year for this unit. If Brian Billick is back as the head coach of…BZT… this sorry bunch, I'll burn Walls with a Harvard Red Eye. For years, Baltimore was a consistently good defense and special teams unit, but it all came crashing down in 2005. The Ravens were especially disliked in the shark tank, earning a whopping 93% of your vote. Apparently every time a bell rung in 2005, God dropped a pound of hate on the Baltimore Ravens defense.
Coalesce – "Baltimore. Drafted early and better options were found on the waiver wire."
Thrasher2005 – "Ravens – Never believe the hype…"
Finn2056 – "Baltimore in a squeaker over New England. People are probably also disappointed that Buffalo didn't repeat last year's strong performance."
Honorable mentions go to Buffalo, Washington, and Pittsburgh, great choices in any year where people don't have the opportunity to lash out at Ray Lewis.
Well, there you go. What a sad sack of crud. If you had more than one of these disappointments on your team, you…BZT… probably lost. But hey, you had fun, right? Right? Thanks for all your help, kids – don't forget to vote in the forums for the MVP winner. I'll be back next week to hand out those MVP awards and to set you up for the Awards show spectacular in week 17!
Until next time, Showgirls and Gin, my friends, Showgirls and …BZT… Gin.

TORONTO — More than 600 Ontarians died from opioid overdoses in the first six months of last year, new numbers reveal, as overdose prevention sites await word on whether they can continue to operate in the province beyond Sunday.
Public Health Ontario statistics were quietly updated last week to show that 629 people in Ontario died from opioid-related causes from January to June of 2018. That is 80 more deaths than during the same period in 2017.
There were 6,688 opioid-related emergency department visits in the province, up from 5,909 during the same time frame last year, and 1,544 hospitalizations, which is down from 1,623 from the same period last year.
In 2017 in total, 1,261 people died from an opioid overdose — up from 867 people in 2016.
Harm reduction worker Zoe Dodd said it has been hard working month to month.
At a temporary Toronto site that was up and running for a year, 251 overdoses were reversed, Dodd said. In January and February alone this year, her overdose prevention site reversed 173 overdoses, Dodd said.
During last year's election campaign, Premier Doug Ford said he was opposed to overdose prevention sites, but Elliott said the evidence demonstrated the sites are necessary, reducing drug-related deaths and lowering the rate of public drug use.

Breaking the language barrier into business communication.
Get a quick insight into your behavior in relation to your environment and your team members.
Understanding processes and process improvements.
Experience the practice of enterprise in all its aspects.
Learn the basic vocabulary of a foreign language!
Very useful is the insight into how your behavior is seen by others!
With the mission and vision of LE-Network we work with great passion on improvements for learning processes. By constantly innovating learning processes, they can be more effective, more efficient, more flexible and more creative. In short: Impactful. We do not do this alone, but together with our partners.
LE-App: measure learning effects with your smartphone.
We have been doing this innovating for more than 15 years and will continue to do so. For more information, view our assortment or contact us directly via our contact form.
LE-Network is as the word says it: a large and enthusiastic network of partnerships with the aim of improving learning processes.
We do this by applying the edupreneurial method "action learning": Learning by doing!
Instead of reading books, textbooks serve as a reference work and the emphasis is on "playful learning". Learning in authentic learning environments with positive emotions from your own experiences.
For example, we have developed the education program for entrepreneurship: entrepreneurship in action. Various game simulations are used to illustrate economic concepts and to give meaning. Our game simulations are a safe environment in which you can learn very well from your own mistakes (and successes) and those of your fellow players. So just learn by doing it yourself with the most impactful learning method.
For more information about LE-Network and the named partners, please visit the "About us" page or contact us directly via our contact form.
Met de missie en visie van LE-Network werken wij met veel passie aan verbeteringen voor leerprocessen. Door leerprocessen voortdurend te innoveren kunnen deze effectiever, efficiënter, flexibeler en creatiever. Kortom: Impactvoller. Dat doen we niet alleen, maar samen met onze partners.
LE-App: leer-effecten meten met je smartphone.
Dit innoveren doen we al meer dan 15 jaar en zullen we blijven doen. Bekijk voor meer informatie ons assortiment of neem direct contact met ons op via ons contact formulier.
LE-Network is zoals het woord het al zegt: een groot en enthousiast netwerk van samenwerkingsverbanden met als doel leerprocessen te verbeteren.
Dit doen we door het toepassen van de edupreneurial methode "action learning": Leren door te doen!
In plaats van het lezen van boeken, dienen leerboeken eerder als naslag werk en ligt de nadruk op het "spelenderwijs leren". Leren in authentieke leeromgevingen met positieve emoties van je eigen ervaringen.
Zo hebben we bijvoorbeeld het onderwijs programma voor ondernemerschap: ondernemerschap in actie ontwikkelt. Hierin worden diverse spel simulaties ingezet om economische begrippen aanschouwelijk te maken en betekenis te laten krijgen. Onze spel simulaties zijn immers een veilige omgeving waarin je heel goed kunt leren van je eigen fouten (en successen) en die van je medespelers. Dus gewoon leren door het zelf te doen met de impactvolste leermethode.

Hey, procrastinators: Don't freak out if you haven't finished your taxes. The IRS is giving you a reprieve until Tuesday.
The usual April 15 deadline falls on Saturday this year. That would normally push the deadline to Monday. However, Monday is a holiday in the District of Columbia, so by law, the filing deadline is extended until Tuesday.
Monday is Emancipation Day in the District of Columbia. It marks the day in 1862 in which 3,100 slaves living in Washington were freed.
All the states that usually have an April 15 deadline have delayed their filing date as well. A handful of states have later deadlines.
The IRS has already processed 101 million individual returns and has issued $229 billion in refunds. The average refund is $2,851.
The tax agency said Thursday that nearly 40 million taxpayers have yet to file their returns. Taxpayers can request an automatic six-month extension.
But there is no extension for paying your tax bill. If you owe additional taxes, they are still due Tuesday.
"With the tax deadline approaching, taxpayers shouldn't panic. The IRS has many options available to help people as they finalize their tax returns or if they need to get extra time to file," said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen.
As last-minute filers rush to finish their taxes, their chances of getting audited have rarely been lower.
The number of people audited by the IRS in 2016 dropped for the sixth straight year, to just over 1 million. The last time so few people were audited was 2004. Since then, the U.S. has added about 30 million people.
The IRS blames budget cuts as money for the agency shrunk from $12.2 billion in 2010 to $11.2 billion last year. Over that period, the agency has lost more than 17,000 employees, including nearly 7,000 enforcement agents. About 80,000 people work at the IRS.
In 2016, the number of people audited by the IRS dropped by 16 percent from the year before. Just 0.7 percent of individuals were audited, either in person or by mail. That's the lowest audit rate since 2003.
The higher your income, the more likely you are to be audited. The IRS audited 1.7 percent of returns that reported more than $200,000 in income. Agents audited 5.8 percent of returns that reported more than $1 million in income.
Both audit rates were steep declines from the year before.


Educational Qualification – Candidates having Bachelor Degree in relevant stream from any recognized University/Institute will be eligible for this recruitment.

"I did not think you were down that line and on the trail of the cauldron horror"
Lady Mary Glyn was closely following the war news. The 'cauldron horror' may be a reference to the Red Terror in Russia, or more likely the last bloody fighting in the breaking of the Hindenburg Line. Ralph's current role was attached to the American Expeditionary Force.
Bramber
My own darling
Your letter of Saturday night here this morning… I see papa Joffre has Flu, & there is so much of it about and I wish you had had the jolly medicine with you. I did send some to your AGF address.
I had been reading so carefully word for word the story of that attack and wondered just how it would strike you, but I did not think you were down that line and on the trail of the cauldron horror. Only the Morning Post believed in the factory. Both D. Chron: & Times believed in the smash in of a shell. But when I got hold of enclosed last night it seemed to me a good hint for BM to AEF & now your letter comes confirming it….

"All news from Russia is horrible, and it is like seeing a criminal lunatic asylum self governed"
Lady Mary Glyn was struggling to cope with the wartime shortage of domestic servants.
30 Half Moon Street
I have stayed in bed till luncheon time trying to understand all the dazzling news of these victories, but the fighting is dreadful, and the struggle far from over. How glad you will be to have Armentieres in our hands again.
I am still without a maid. The really good ones can get enormous wages & I must try to get a more settled establishment before I can make anyone comfortable. It is so absurd when everything of domestic bliss hangs upon a nonexistent kitchen girl.
Ressington in today's Morning Post is good – I hope you see it? – on the American army & methods. All news from Russia is horrible, and it is like seeing a criminal lunatic asylum self governed….

A very gallant officer and gentleman, recklessly brave and a fine example of cool courage
The Old Boys of Reading School were distinguishing themselves at the Front.
O.R. NEWS.
Killed in Action.
2nd Lieut. Norman A. Howell, King's Shropshire Light infantry. On December 23rd.
He is the second son of Mr. W. Roland Howell, architect, of this town. Born at Reading in April 1897, he was educated at Reading School and St. Laurence College, Ramsgate, and had been about a year in his father's office before joining the Army in November, 1915. His cadet training at school and college enabled him to get his commission. He was posted to the King's Shropshire's, was ordered to the front at the end of June last, and has been in the thick of the Somme fighting for six months. Lieut. Norman Howell came home on his first leave on December 6th and returned on the 16th. Within a week he had made the great sacrifice.
His Commanding Officer wrote to Mr. Howell on December 24th:
"I deeply regret to report the death of your son, who was serving in my Battalion. Whilst going up to the front line trenches in charge of a party last night an enemy sniper shot him through the head, killing him instantly. This morning his body was buried by the Chaplain near where he fell, with military honours, officers and men attending.
"I had trench mortars and rifle grenades on the sniper's post, patrols had reported 8 to 10 Huns there, none there now! On behalf of his comrades, officers, N.C.O.'s and men, I wish to convey to you our profound sympathy . He was loved and respected by all of us, and we mourn the loss of a very gallant officer and gentleman. To all of us he was known as recklessly brave and a fine example of cool courage, devoted to his duties, which he discharged most cheerfully under the most trying conditions."
"I placed him in charge of the Lewis Gun detachment, on which he had set his heart and soul. He belonged to my own Headquarters' mess, and I took particular interest in him. A cross has been put up on the grave near Les Boeufs."
It will be remembered that in October, 1915, Mr. Howell's elder son, 2nd Lieut. Roland Basil Howell, was reported "wounded and missing." Nothing has since been heard of him, and any hopes of his being alive hangs on the very slenderest thread. On the 16th of last month the War Office wrote saying that they were now forced to believe he was killed.
Lieut. Basil Howell was born in October, 1895, and received his commission in the 4th North Staffordshire's three months after the war started. He was attached to the Northumberland Fusiliers (the Fighting Fifth), and went to the front in May, 1915.
Reports received from the front show that on the night of October 1st-2nd, 1915, the battalion to which Lieut. Howell was attached were in severe action. After all the officers of the company had been killed he gallantly led a bombing party to attack a German trench, but was never seen again.
Every possible enquiry was made through the War Office, the American Embassy, the Red Cross, and the wounded men who returned to England. Many references were made by the latter to the respect and love they had for the brave young officer. Like his brother he was educated at Reading School and St Laurence College, and had started his training to follow in his father's profession. For many years he was an enthusiastic scout, and took a big share in starting the South Reading Troop.
Lieut. Cedric Charles Okey Taylor, East Kent Regiment, attached to Trench Mortar Battery, only son of Mrs. Taylor, 39, Weltje Road, Ravenscroft Park, W., and of the late Mr. Charles Warmsley Taylor, of Reading. Further details are now to hand of Lieut. Taylor's death.
He died for King and country on December 3rd, 1916, in his 22nd year. Young in years but old in endurance, he was in constant action for 15 months at Ypres in 1915 and on the Somme in 1916. He is laid to rest in the cemetery, at Faubourg d'Amiens, Arras.
2nd Lieut. W. Marsden Cooper, Worcestershires, only son of Mr. and Mrs. John Cooper, 107, London Street, Reading, aged 19.
Cooper was only 19 years of age and went out to the front in the Worcestershire's about the middle of December, shortly after completing his course at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. He was educated at Reading School, where he gained a Council scholarship in 1909. His School career was unusually distinguished. In 1914 he gained a School Certificate followed the next year by a higher certificate.
In response to his country's call, he decided to take a commission, and in the entrance examination for the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, held in February, 1916, he came out second on the list, gaining a Prize Cadetship. At Sandhurst his success was no less pronounced than at school, and he gained the position of Sergeant in his cadet unit, the highest position a cadet can obtain, before he left College. Not only did he have considerable intellectual gifts, as his record shows but he was a fine athlete as well. He was an excellent all round cricketer and his natural powers as a bowler would have enabled him to make his mark in really good company. As a Rugby Football player he showed great promise, and before he left school he had the distinction of being captain of football, captain of cricket and captain of the school. Yet he was never elated by success, and perhaps it was more than anything else his modesty which made him so popular with the boys and the masters alike. Those who have watched his career, for the last two years, and marked the way in which his development always seemed to keep pace with his new responsibilities feel a special grief that a young life so full of promise should have been brought thus prematurely to a close.

Cadets in training "lie on the floor, don't need beds"
John Maxwell Image, the elderly Cambridge don who had married Florence Spencer from Cookham, wrote to a friend to express his frustrations with the lack of progress in the war, and to talk about wartime life in Cambridge.
12 March '16
I think I must copy you in reading the M[orning] Post. The rags we take in are D. Mail for me, and Times for la Signora, who won't stoop to the Mail, tho' aware that the letterpress in each is identical.
Jackson has once or twice indicated to me that his paper is now your MP. I used to value the Times for the letters written to it. But there are no good letter-writers now-a-days.
Perhaps the new man in East Hertford may wake up Independent Members next Tuesday, if there are any such in Parliament. The Air attacks, and the Naval attacks, which we must with certainty expect will involve novelties that our drones have never dreamt of.
We have more men, and better men, and more money. Yet there we stick, just to be attacked when and where Germany chooses. A fixed figure for the hand of scorn – yes, what scorn! All the trumps: but the player, Asquith! "What War needs is not men, but a Man", said Nap.
The Zeps (or possibly a Zep) was over Camb[ridge] the other night. We slumbered peacefully and knew nothing till next day. One Airship was seen by the crew of the antiaircraft guns by Story's Way on the Huntingdon Road. And the electric lighting was shut off at the works: so we heard from one or two people who tried in vain to turn on theirs that night. I don't think that last precaution had been taken before, but I walked back to Trinity on the night of the Book Club Sale without a glimmer. I had ordered a taxi, and they phoned at the last minute that the fog (it was a sudden fog) was so blind that they dared not send a carriage out. I had in my pocket a flash torch – rapidly expiring – but it just lasted.
We are to have 400 Cadets (i.e. candidates for Commissions) in Trinity. I sat next Major Reddy, the Commanding Officer, who has most healthy ideas of taut discipline – e.g. 4 men to a set of rooms: "they lie on the floor, you know" said he: "don't need beds". They will begin in the New Court. How will you keep them quiet at night? I asked. They must be in College at 9.30, for they have to be up early, usw.
Our next door neighbours, the Comptons – he a young son of a Fellow of Caius, she, one of the most beautiful girls ever seen – are on very friendly terms. Alas, he goes off on War Work in May – and the home will be broken up. Yesterday the Signora [Florence] devoted herself to cutting out and sticking War clippings in our scrapbook, whilst I looked on….

"The war is doing us a lot of good"
Maysie Wynne-Finch wrote to her brother Ralph Glyn in Egypt with the news that she and her wounded husband were going to be based in Windsor until he was well enough to return to the Front. Their aunt Sybil was still receiving letters from her son Ivar, written before his recent death in action.
Feb 11/16
11 Bruton St W
Darlingest R.
I had a mysterious message from Meg's house today saying Colonel Sykes had called leaving a small parcel from you, & saying he was just home from the Dardenelles [sic]. I had the said parcel brought here, & it is a couple of torch refills apparently unused from Stephenson. I must get hold of Colonel Sykes for an explanation.
Our plans are now fixed up to a point. The doctor, [dear?] man, said John was not to return to France for 3 months, this being so the regimental powers that be used much pressure to get him to reconsider his refusal of the 5th Battalion Adjutancy, & so after being told they won't try & keep him after he's fit for France, he has said yes. There is no doubt it's good useful work for home service, if it has to be, & I am glad for him, though I suppose I shall now see little or nothing of him at all. He begins on Monday. He went house hunting on Tuesday – a depressing job, as there are hardly any houses to be had, & those one more beastly than the other! However – nothing matters – it's just wonderful to be there at all. We shall take what we can & when we can – that's all. The house we long for, but it's not yet even furnished, is one, & a charming old house done up & owned by that old bore Arthur Leveson Gower, you remember the man, we met at the Hague, years ago. Tony has been ill again with Flu, the 2nd time this year…
We've just had tea with Aunt Syb. She got another letter from Ivar written Jan 1, last Friday. It's awful for her, & yet I think there is most joy, rather than pain, the hopeless silence is for a moment filled, though but as it were by an echo. Joan looks pale & oh so sad. She's wonderfully brave & unselfish to Aunt Syb. Poor little Joanie…
I hear Pelly's opinion is that Kut must fall. London was filled with rumours of a naval engagement on Monday & Tues, but as far as I can make out without foundation.
I met Ad[miral] Mark Ker[r] in the street the other day, & we had a long talk. I fear he's not improved – & I think very bitter at being out of it all. He was interesting over Greece etc, but there is so much "I" in all he says, one cannot help distrusting a great deal. He's very upset as he was starting to return to Greece a week ago & at the very last moment was stopped, & now he's simply kicking his heels, not knowing what's going to happen next. "Tino" now is of course his idol & here – I feel a pig saying all this, as I do feel sorry for him, & he was most kind. Yesterday he asked us to lunch to meet Gwladys [sic] Cooper, Mrs Buckmaster, how lovely she is, & seems nice, almost dull John thought! We then went on to the matinee of her new play. Most amusing, she is delightful, & Hawtrey just himself…
As you can imagine air-defence & the want of it is now all the talk. One of our airships has taken to sailing over this house from west to east every morning at 8.30 am. I hear we broke up 6 aeroplanes & killed 3 men the night of the last raid. All leave is now stopped from France. We've just lunched with Laggs Gibbs, who came over a day before the order came out. He says it's said to be because of some new training scheme we have & not because of any offensive either way.
John had a Med Board today, & narrowly escaped being given another 3 months sick leave apparently. They implored him to go to Brighton & said he was very below parr [sic] etc, however he bounced them into giving him home duty, & they've made it 3 months, & "no marching", etc, tc, etc. Of course as Adjutant he wouldn't have that anyhow.
We think we have got a house, but can't get in for a fortnight.
Bless you darling
Your ever loving Maysie (more…)

History of Sunshine Solar
Established in 2003, Sunshine Solar is now a family operated business with five full-time staff and over thirty contractors and distributors around the country. All use qualified tradesmen and have been trained and working in the solar industry for several years. We are not only experienced in the installation of solar hot water systems for the residential market, our team have been involved in larger projects such as schools, motels, commercial buildings, as well as retrofitting to character homes and heritage buildings needing extensive and careful plumbing, building and electrical preparation. We have completed work for many large complex million dollar plus homes on both flat and hill sites, consulting closely with leading architects and designers, as well as dream homes on lifestyle blocks, farms and exclusive country lodges and retreats. For over the past 8 years we have operated continuous research and testing programmes with CPIT year round in various NZ conditions. We are currently a part of the solar pilot study for Contact Energy. Results have shown that our evacuated tubes supply up to 85% of your annual hot water heating costs.
Manager / Technical support
John has been passionate about Energy Efficiency for a long time and back in February 2005 decided to make a business out of his passion. Apart from overseeing Sunshine Solar Business Operations John is using his Engineering background in the development of new product lines to keep Sunshine Solar at the leading edge of technology available and not yet available. With close alliances with ARA (previously CPIT) and the University of Canterbury he is currently working on improving system interactions with battery and storage technologies, developing water purification systems for developing nations and looking at jumps in technology in solar thermal. John can often be found lecturing on home energy efficiency in locations as vast as schools to architects and designers.
Marketing & Operations
Arun comes from an engineering, marketing and business management background. He organises our marketing and graphics, as well as accounts management for customers. He also manages projects with John. An ambassador for renewable energy, he is looking forward to seeing more people living and building sustainably through going solar. He focuses on communicating the importance and benefits of Solar Energy, coordinating and answering questions for your install.
Kath Mackay
Kath looks after most of our admin and accounts. She'll be the one doing your building consent and booking in your install. She will also be calling to check up on payments. Kath used to be neighbours with the boss so probably knows a bit too much about what happens in the Wilson household outside of hours. When not at work Kath plays taxi to two very sporty kids and is very keen on Netball both playing and watching
Paul McCulla
Paul moved over from Northern Ireland well before it was fashionable for the Irish to move to New Zealand (ie 5 years before the earthquake). He has been installing Central Heating systems for most of his career (previously was an engineer for boeing). Paul still owns a Central Heating heating company and radiator shop on the side of the world. Paul specialises in building robust Residential and Commercial heating systems with specialised controls the maximise efficiency and comfort. Outside of work Paul like to build and race his Peugeot especially in the National hill climb competitions.
Installer – plumber
Ryan is the youngest member of the Christchurch team. He has been full time with Sunshine Solar since early 2015. Since then Ryan has been installing almost a solar a day and can often be seen perched on a roof with crescents in hand. Ryan has installed more solars on slate roofs than probably anyone in the country which is not an easy feat. Outside of work Ryan is another Boys Brigade leader and can often be seen trying to break or get stuck his 4WD on some rough terrain. (That's why God invented the winch)
Andrew Gush
Marlborough Area Manager
Andrew is based in Blenheim and looks after the Marlborough area with particular interest around the Marlborough Council Solar Saver scheme. (Pay solar off out of your savings through your rates). Co-incidentally Andrew is also an electrician so extremely handy to have during assessments.
Janet Cloake
Janet organizes appointments and has a job that includes chatting to people on Facebook. Janet and husband Russell have just moved into their own off-grid home so are a living breathing example of what can be done solar wise on for a few penny's.

Seek To Know The Truth: Question: We're asking for counsel on the matter of biblical reproof.... What do you believe is the appropriate response and action to be taken when young believers are living in error?
Question: We're asking for counsel on the matter of biblical reproof. My first inclination is to follow the admonition in 2 Timothy:2:24-26 and 4:1-4. In light of this what do you believe is the appropriate response and action to be taken when young believers are living in error? Some of the issues include friends who are living with their boyfriends/girlfriends before marriage, were pregnant before marriage, are contemplating divorce and remarriage, dating nonbelievers, going out on the weekends and getting drunk at bars, joining yoga sessions, getting involved in psychology programs, fail to recognize false gospels (Catholicism, Mormonism, etc). Any advice on how to approach dear friends and discuss these issues from your experience would be appreciated. We have lost friends over this.
). "Reproving," "rebuking," and even "exhorting" must be done with "great patience" and "instruction." Biblical instruction does not hastily resort to the rod. "Longsuffering" (godly patience) should be our attitude towards those being ministered to. Nevertheless, we preach.

The #LG #QStylo4 is a mid-range Android smartphone model which was first released in June 2018. It has a built-in stylus which gives phone owners another way to interact with the device. This phone has a 6.2 inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels. It uses a single rear and front camera. Under the hood is a Snapdragon 450 processor which is paired with 2GB of RAM. Although this is a solid performing device there are instances when certain issues can occur which we will be addressing today. In this latest installment of our troubleshooting series we will tackle the LG Q Stylo 4 won't turn on issue.
If you own an LG Q Stylo 4 or any other Android device for that matter then feel free to contact us using this form. We will be more than happy to assist you with any concern that you may have with your device. This is a free service we are offering with no strings attached. We however ask that when you do contact us try to be as detailed as possible so that an accurate assessment can be made and the correct solution can be given.
One of the major issues that can occur in an Android device is when it fails to turn on no matter what you do. Most of the time this can be caused by a faulty hardware component which needs to be fixed at a service center. There are however instances when the issue can be fixed on your end. Before sending your phone to a service center and having it repaired make sure to have performed the troubleshooting steps listed below which are recommended for this particular problem.
Charge the phone
What you will want to do first in this case is to make sure that its battery has sufficient charge. There have been several cases when the battery has been completely drained thus preventing the phone to turn on. This factor is what we will be eliminating first by following the steps listed below.
Clean the charging port of the phone using a can of compressed air. Make sure that any dirt or debris stuck in this port is removed.
Fully charge the phone using its wall charger.
In case the phone does not charge then try using a different charging cord and wall charger. You should also try charging the phone from a computer USB port in case charging using the wall charger fails to work.
Once the battery has been fully charged try turning on the phone. If it still does not turn on then proceed with the additional troubleshooting steps listed below.
Perform a soft reset
Refreshing the phone software will eliminate the possibility of the problem being caused by a minor software glitch. This can be done easily by simply restarting the device. Press and hold the Power button and Volume Down until the device powers off, approximately 8 seconds, then release.
Check if the LG Q Stylo 4 won't turn on issue still occurs.
Wipe the cache partition of the phone
Your phone will usually store the most commonly used data for easy access making it run faster. There are cases when this data which is stored in the dedicated partition of the phone can become corrupted. When this happens this this will usually cause certain issues to occur on the phone. To eliminate the possibility that this is what's causing the problem you will have to wipe the cache partition of the phone from the recovery mode.
Turn the phone off.
Press and hold the following keys at the same time: Volume Down Key + Power/Lock Key for approximately 10 seconds.
Release both of the keys when the System recovery screen is displayed.
Press the volume key to highlight the Wipe cache option then the power key to select it
Restart the phone.
Perform a factory reset
In case the phone still does not turn on then one last troubleshooting step you can perform is a factory reset from the recovery mode. Take note that this will erase your phone data.
Press the volume key to highlight the Factory Data Reset option then the power key to select it
In case the above steps fails to fix the problem then you will need to bring the phone to a service center and have it checked as this might already be caused by a faulty hardware component.

/Tuesday Ten/242/Front 242
Posted on September 22, 2015 May 23, 2020 By adam
This weeks Ten has been long-planned to have this subject, but how it was going to work was the bit I didn't really know. So, I chose to open it up.
/Playlists
/Playlists/Spotify
/Playlists/YouTube
/Tuesday Ten/Artist Overviews
/099/Joy Division/New Order covers – 30 years since the death of Ian Curtis

/325/40 Years of The Cure – Their Influence in Covers
Let's be clear here – without Front 242, industrial music would sound very different, I suspect. They are one of the primary influences for many, many bands in-and-out of industrial, and to this day remain one of the single greatest live acts of all in the scene. So, here are mine and some friends' favourite 242 songs.
A quick explanation for new readers (hi there!): my Tuesday Ten series has been running since March 2007, and each month features at least ten new songs you should hear – and in between those monthly posts, I feature songs on a variety of subjects, with some of the songs featured coming from suggestion threads on Facebook.
Feel free to get involved with these – the more the merrier, and the breadth of suggestions that I get continues to astound. Otherwise, as usual, if you've got something you want me to hear, something I should be writing about, or even a gig I should be attending, e-mail me, or drop me a line on Facebook (details below).
/Front 242
/Circling Overland
/Front By Front
Circling Overland is the best Front 242 song for a lot of reasons, it has great imagery, a terrifically portentous instrumental and plays off an ongoing theme in 242's work, that of a cyclical and neverending cold war. If that last point seems a touch dated in 2015, then consider the nature of unmanned drones and the bombing and spying missions we accept that they carry out literally every single day. If anything Front 242 overestimated how long it would take these intruders to reach our skies.
Alex Kennedy writes at I Die: You Die
/Take One
/Back Catalogue
Trying to pick my own favourite 242 song could have me here all day. I did consider Commando Mix – particularly in its epic live version that is the centrepiece of their shows nowadays – but thinking about it more, this track kept on coming up. An earlier song of theirs that was perhaps long forgotten – an obscure single that ended up on Back Catalogue, but perhaps with the first of their iconic, stylistic videos – that suddenly reappeared in their live sets when they went for the "vintage" approach a few years back, and the results were amazing. It got something of a power-up, with a slightly faster pace, harder-edged rhythms, and those synths for the chorus given greater prominence – and too right, too, as it's a fantastic hook.

/Tragedy >For You<
/Tyranny >For You<
I first heard Tragedy >For You< in it's Punish Your Machine version. It was a soundtrack version accompanying an Atari ST demo (called 'Grotesque', should you wish to track it down). At the time, I didn't clock the fact that this was a tune from a real-world band. The pieces didn't come together until I picked up the CD single in 1999, and I finally heard the original song. And I mean 'song'. Not 'track'. Because whilst it has all the rhythmic and textural elements common to all the great 242 tracks, it's also very distinctive lyrically. In a genre reliant on multiple repeated phrases, that's pretty special.
The growth of YouTube finally allowed me to see the Anton Corbijn video, itself a work of art that avoids the obvious. For some reason, though, the track rarely received DJ play in London, so when I started playing as Terminates Here in the late 00s, I adopted it as one of my select few 'signature tracks'. A multi-genre DJ I may be, but I do have a few tracks I like to play again and again, and this is one of them. When I ran my own old-school EBM event earlier this year, I adapted the title to give the event title Tragedy >For Us<. And on a personal level, this song is also symbolic of a relationship that started over three years ago and is going strong today. On every possible level, this is my 242 song of choice.

/Neurobashing
Tyranny >For You< was the first Front 242 album I ever owned, and the first time I ever heard them. I was something of a latecomer to the genre, and received this album second-hand from a friend who'd heard I was into "that industrial shit". The album spent a good amount of time in my silver Discman, a raw sound I was heretofore unfamiliar with. The whole of the album caught me and remains a favourite to this day, but Neurobashing, one of the final tracks, truly captured my imagination.
The song itself is an instrumental re-tread of the earlier track "Moldavia", with the already stark electronics stripped further down, and punched up with samples of a fired-up orator. It comes as both a motivator and a cleansing fire, especially following the sombre offerings of "The Untold" and the heartache of "Tragedy For You". From the opening call and response (which they've deftly integrated into their live version of "Moldavia") to the final repeating chant of "I'm gonna be ready", Neurobashing is not only one of my favourite Front 242 songs, but one of my first glimpses into everything Industrial had to offer.

/Welcome to Paradise
For me, 'Welcome to Paradise' was one of those situations where you hear a track you like, and realise you own a copy already. Okay, two copies. I owned 'Front by Front' and the 'Headhunter' 12" on vinyl but had no decks. Also for some reason the tape-of-a-tape of the former I had missed the last track or two. I finally heard it somewhere, went home and played it an awful lot. It has tended to be my go-to 242 track to DJ ever since.
It's a rather unusual track for Front 242 in that it's stitched together purely from samples of US televangelists. Few of their other songs are remotely this sample-heavy, presumably to make them easier to perform on stage (indeed the band sing nearly all of 'Welcome to Paradise' when they play live). It's also one of the best lessons in how to create a narrative largely from samples this side of Ministry and PWEI, in this case about the hypocrisy and false promises of orange-skinned, polyester-suited snake-oil salesmen. All that and it finishes with a superbly edited kicker, worthy of Cassetteboy… "Hey poor, you don't have to be Jesus!"

/Modern Angel
/05:22:09:12 Off
What's not to like? The gradual build-up to the main synths, then the raw vocals kicking in… divine! And the lyrics, so full of hate and bile.
The live version has one of the most recognisable chord progressions in industrial music, one guaranteed to make your feet move! I particularly adore this song because, despite it not being one of the more obvious of Front 242's dance floor hits, it's a stalwart of Glasgow's Asylum club, where I've spent several great nights. So Modern Angel holds many great memories for me.
Remixes… love them or hate them, industrial music is rife with them. The KMFDM remix of Modern Angel is a great example of a remix done RIGHT!

/Lovely Day
So, what can I say about Lovely Day? The lyrics appear to be about a particularly nasty breakup describing the joy and relief of a woman escaping a violent partner and the vengeance she'd like karma or life to inflict on him. The lyrics are both light and dark; positive and rage-filled at the same time. The music reflects this with the unmistakable Front 242 hard angry percussion sounds from the get-go, then the intricate sweeping synth sounds chime into the chorus. This is why this song works so well and the reason it is my favourite track by Front 242. Don't get me wrong Happiness, Melt and Welcome to Paradise are also amazing tracks; but they don't quite send the chill up my spine as this song does.

/Im Rhythmus Bleiben
Sometimes you hear a song and it just clicks with you. Like you were born to hear it. Then, if you're *really* lucky, fate will keep giving you reasons to love it more… So it is with im rhythmus bleiben for me. I've always loved the 'machines good, people bad' ethos with music. From the start, the percussive beats, noises and sparse vocals combine to form a song with the perfect amount of implied threat and energy. And the fact it hasn't dated stands testament to just how far ahead of their time Front 242 were. And remain.
But that's really just the start. Reason 2(42) – Eurorock 2000. Fields of the Nephilim played the main stage – I remember things how small they looked. The stage was enormous. Stupidly big, and I remember thinking that if a five-piece looked as small, the four-piece 242 would disappear. Instead? With the movement and energy, they made the stage look like they were performing in a phone box. They owned that stage. 2000 was also the year when the 'nazi' and 'fascist' allegations against 242 peaked. Nothing could be further from the truth, but mud sticks. Im Rhythmus Bleiben started, and as I started jumping about, my heart sank – a swastika flag was raised by some of the bionics (the 242 hardcore fans). My heart sank. Thankfully not for long – as soon as it was aloft, a lighter was sparked underneath – the swastika flag was set alight. An unequivocal message to the boneheads, I danced my heart out to my favourite song, by my favourite band, while my (now) favourite fans were burning swastikas. That image is evoked every time I hear the song. Love it!
And finally? Re:Boot. The reworking of the song is immense. Endowed with more energy, and with Richard 23 taking centre stage on vocals, it's a masterclass in celebrating the past without getting bogged down it. And with it comes the other emotional link. I followed Front242 over Europe for live shows. At one show in Switzerland, Richard 23 noticed my Holy Gang t-shirt pre-show and came out for a chat. That would have made the gig, but…. 242 don't do things by half. I'm up at the front of the crowd bouncing around. Im Rhythmus Bleiben begins. "Stay in the rhythm" lyric starts. Richard spies me in the crowd… And – in Switzerland – shouts out "Come on Glasgow!!! You stay in the rhythm!" (To explain, I'm from Glasgow, Scotland). Having made my night, the band then make everyone else's by being immense.
Im Rhythmus Bleiben – sound, emotion, memory. Sometimes it's about more than the music.

/Headhunter
When Adam asked me if I'd be interested in writing some words on my favourite Front 242 song – I was hesitant. Front 242 remains one of my all-time favourite electronic body music acts. Have seen them countless times, met them on more than one occasion, booked them once as a promoter, and continue to collect their vast discography on vinyl, CD and cassette (which includes a Wax Trax cassette of "Back Catalog"). The hesitation came in what track to choose; "Im Rhythmus Bleiben", "Quite Unusual", "Flag", "U-Men", etc.??? Their catalogue holds so many gems.
Then it hit me, decided to pick "Headhunter". Yes, "Headhunter" the most easily recognizable of all the 242 songs. Their big hit. THAT song. The song that even if you're just a little bit into industrial you certainly know. THE song that came in #1 on David Shocks (WTII Records) curated list of 101 Greatest Industrial Songs Project which people voted on.
"Headhunter" deserves all its recognition and accolades. 27 years on it STILL holds it's significance and importance. Plus it still has many addictive elements.
1 – Lock the Target
The bass line – the first addictive element
Little known fact – the song almost never happened. The song's quirky production detailing was initially a serendipitous accident: the band loaded the wrong sound diskette into their sampler, and suddenly the sequence they had designed for a punchy bass sound took on a strange new character. It's that distinctive bass line that's one of the first addictive elements of "Headhunter". Built from a sample of a scrape and then layered heavily with a Yamaha DX-7 synth – the bass line is simplistic in essence, drenched in reverb, yet immediately recognizable as Front 242. It's a standout. Was just a teenager in 1988 upon the song's release, but totally in awe of that sound. Fast-forward to now, nearly three decades later, whenever that bass line comes nervously (and at the same time aggressively) chugging, my feet want to dance no matter what. It's a bass line that just works, so much so that it's been ripped off by the likes of New Scene "Out of Control", Utah Saints "Ohio" and Bonde do Tigrão who sampled the instrumental in "Cerol na Mão", resulting in a lawsuit by Front 242 against Bonde Do Tigrão due to musical plagiarism.
2 – Bait the Line
The second addictive element of "Headhunter" is its lyrics. "Headhunter" is sung from the perspective of a bounty hunter. When asked during an interview about the concept for the song, 242's Jean-Luc DeMeyer replied, "I had the chance to work in an insurance company before, and I worked in the department of human resources and I saw the way that this company was trying to hire people. It was very polite and very nice with men in suits, but at the same time it was very cut-throat. I wanted to make a parallel between tribal warfare and these activities. The song means both of these activities.". It's DeMeyer's and Richard 23's astonishing vocal arrangements that serve up the step-by-step countdown chorus in perfect balance, the latter delivering each step like an order from on high while 23's singing adds on even more frenetic energy. That chorus has become so ingrained into every rivet head, there are even parodies of it "One you SHOP at Target, Two, you WAIT in line, Three, you slowly spread the WALLET, and four, you PAY THE MAN."
3 – Spread the Net
Third addictive element – the video
The video for "Headhunter" – a weird, funny and almost erotic paean to the city of Brussels, Belgium, was shot and directed by Anton Corbijn (Control / Joy Division / Depeche Mode / Etc…). The group had sent him the music but hadn't read the script in advance. When they were taking the clip, they started to get worried and asked him: "You do know that the title of the song is 'Headhunter', do you?" Nevertheless, they liked it and decided to go along with it for the video. Rumor has it that the director misheard the track title as 'Egghunter'. which explains the grainy footage of a fruity lady being chased around wearing an egg on her head, eggs falling, cracked, swallowed and so on. Mix this with images of the more unambiguous globes of the female buttocks, and the band, in bomber jackets, striking paramilitary poses – Like the track itself, it's thrilling, silly and scintillatingly modern. Normally, I hate music videos but with "Headhunter" those images stand out just as much as the music. Should be noted that at 1:30 in on Haujobb's We Must Wait (feat. Jean-Luc De Meyer) there's a homage to the egg of "Headhunter".
4 – Catch the Man
Fourth addictive element – THE NUMEROUS VERSIONS (including remixes and live versions)
"Headhunter" was released in 1988 on the album "Front By Front", in two versions (Version 1.0 and Version 3.0). Version 1.0 was then released as a single, with Version 2.0 as one of the b-sides. There are 23 (fitting huh?) different catalog versions from 12″ to 7″ to CD single and even a 3″ CD single of "Headhunter" released in countries such as Belgium, France, Canada, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and even one unofficial release in the Ukraine.
After a long hiatus from 1993 onwards, Front 242 regrouped to re-record the song in late 1998, releasing it with multiple remixes on the dual-CD single "Headhunter 2000" and also split across 4 CD maxis. 10 years after the initial release you had industrial bands like; Front Line Assembly, Haujobb, Apoptygma Berzerk, Leaetherstrip and Funker Vogt, along with noise artist Xingu Hill and Noisex, as well as more straight forward techno artist like Emperion, Talla 2XLC, and Aqualite amongst others revamping the track into new territories.
DJ Services Hot Tracks and Razormaid! released remixes of the song to DJs. In addition, Danny Tenaglia, Eskimos & Egypt, DBS, Project 12:01 and Icon of Coil made cover versions. Aghast View also did a remix, and ThouShaltNot produced a parody version in a relaxed jazz/lounge style (in contrast to the pounding industrial dance beat of the original).
Then there's all the fan made bedroom producer remixes floating around. Check out these three killer mixes. Edobot's remix, Ivo Draganac's Headhunter (The Experiment), and Exzakt Headhunter – Exzakts Vicennial Mix.
Have a listen and you see the significance this track has influencing a wide array of artist across a spectrum of electronic genres. Autechre even cites 242 heavily. There's incredible dynamics within the song. It's those dynamics that still make "Headhunter" a killer live track in 242's performances. My first time catching the men (see what I did there?) live was in 1989 on the "Front by Front" tour. I snuck into the show as an under-aged teen. I recall "Headhunter" (and the whole show) being this powerful epiphany. My young eyes witnessed a whole new vision and had a whole new inspiration. Take a listen to the live versions of "Headhunter" starting with 2008's "Moments" to 1998's "Reboot" to 1994's "Live Code" or watch any of the live videos on YouTube from a 1990 USA performance to a 2013 outing and it's verified how energetic the song is. How much it's morphed into multifarious constructions. Daniel B. (at the soundboard) likes to screw around with the songs a bit. You can hear him always fiddling around with the vocal sampler and adding samples/sequences and deleting them. Last year I saw 242 at Chicago's Cold Waves festival and in exactly a week (9-25-15) I'm off to California to see 242 yet again. I look forward to hearing "Headhunter" in the set again, raising my fist with others, stomping to that bass line and singing that familiar chorus yet again with a crowd of enthusiastic fans.
"Headhunter" will ALWAYS remain progressive and vitalizing.
Finally, if you ever think you're too old to enjoy "Headhunter" or the track is past it's prime (NEVER) – watch this.

Do you know how to calculate the cost of gas for a trip? Certainly you may be questioning the amount cash it can choose to go on the highway trip. While street journeys are a time-honored tradition, having to pay a lot for gas is definitely not. The answer on the superior cost of gas is dependent on the variety of variables.
Obtain an auto for your trip that will get great gas mileage in both town and freeway driving. You should utilize your own little vehicle, or take into consideration leasing a hybrid. Very good gas mileage implies not less than 16 mpg from the metropolis. Hybrids can perform a lot better. Leasing an auto will likely be considered a cheaper alternative in the prolonged run except if your vehicle is incredibly fuel effective.
You can calculate the cost of gas for a trip through the use of PLX Kiwi MPG Trip Calculator and OBDII Scanner. Retain in mind that this will fluctuate based on the load within your luggage, the quantity of your passengers and whether you propose on doing many setting up and stopping when you finally get started. Building slower stops and doing gradual acceleration will help you save you cash on gas.
The PLX Kiwi MPG will help homeowners help save funds and safeguard the natural environment by furnishing real-time fuel overall economy and diagnostic information–all in the little, effortless to put in unit.
Its MPG gauge screens fuel use in 3 different techniques, as well as the on-board trip laptop provides people access to 7 extra in-depth parameters. The PLX Kiwi MPG may browse and apparent Check Engine Light codes, giving proprietors with essential diagnostic info and potentially preserving them hundreds or 1000s of pounds in repairs.
