Prawayer

Popularized in recent years, the term "prawayer" is slang for the often unstoppable combination of profile and away message, or "awayer," on any instant messenger service, such as America Online Instant Messenger, or AIM.

The term first entered mainstream pop culture in the weeks leading up to Saint Patrick's Day 2006, when Scott would relentlessly post information in his prawayer about how many times he was going to watch Boondock Saints or how early he was going to wake up to drink green beer or how magical his zephyr was. The term was recently revived in conjunction with obnoxious AIM bots who, in early 2007, would spam users of popular instant messenger services such as AIM or ICQ and entice said users to look at prawayers that promoted the heavily-anticipated release of gangsta-rapper Malquito's next album. The album is rumored hit stores in late April, and will be the rapper's first since inQUITEable went quintuple-platinum on its release date, October 6, 2005.

Geoff Farina

File:Http://www.razziphoto.com/wordpress/wp-content/photos/CRW 2073.jpg

The New England chill that instigates Geoff Farina's muse has him writing songs that seem frozen in time. All of the emphasis is directed on his poetic lyrics with simple accompaniment of a hollowbody guitar--as if we were listening to it in an era where 78s were new releases. Well-known for his jazz guitar work in Karate, Geoff's songs have never seemed so forlorn and strong as they do here.

Geoff Farina is probably best known for the abstract lyrics and genre-flouting guitar style he developed over the past 12 years with his band Karate, or as one-half of The Secret Stars, the seminal early-90s duo that passed around home-made cassettes of songs now covered by the likes of Ida and Death Cab for Cutie. More recently Geoff has arranged music for National Public Radio, composed original film music for Cinamazero's annual Schermo Sonoro festival in Pordenone Italy, and is currently part of the Roman punk/folk group called Ardecore, or "Burning Heart," a theme taken from one of the traditional Roman folk songs they perform. His music has also appeared in films such as Staccato Purr of the Exhaust, a film featured in the 1996 Sundance Film Festival, and Andrew Gillis' 2000 film Security, Colorado, the 24th film produced under the constraints of the Danish Dogme 95 Manifesto. Geoff is currently involved in a Clarkson University project to preserve an archive of concert recordings engineered by Juma Sultan, one-time percussionist with Jimmy Hendrix. The project recently won a National Endowment for the Arts "Access to Artistic Excellence" grant, and will preserve concert recordings of Sam Rivers, Albert Ayler, Pharoh Sanders, Sonny Murray, James Ulmer, and other now-legendary improvising musicians of the late-60s and early-70s.

But Geoff is first and foremost a creative musician. In the past 15 years, he has composed for and performed on over 35 recordings, and performed more than 1000 concerts in 20 countries at events ranging from Denmark's Roskilde Festival to MTV Europe's Supersonic. Geoff has collaborated with many musicians and groups including Michael Zerang, Zu, Chris Brokaw, Dan Littleton, Luther Gray, Nathan McBride, Allan Chase, Taylor Ho Bynum, Rebecca Gates, performance artist Jed Speare, visual artist Jodi Buonanno, and dancer Alissa Cardone. Geoff has been featured in New Music Express, Mojo, Spex, The Village Voice, Rolling Stone, Guitar One, La Repubblica, and was recently interviewed by Neal Conan on National Public Radio's Talk of the Nation.

Geoff earned a BA from Berklee College of Music and an MA from the University of Massachusetts, where he wrote his Master's thesis on the history of consumer analog synthesizers. He has studied with Guggenheim fellow Roswell Rudd and guitar virtuoso Ben Monder. Geoff has worked as an assistant to Bill Finnegan, designer of the Klon Centaur overdrive pedal, and he also writes about guitars and guitar-related hardware for Tape Op magazine. His early articles on amplifier modification were recently anthologized in a book called Tape Op: The Book About Creative Music Recording.

From 1998 until 2006, Geoff lived and worked at the Narragansett Grange Hall, an artist space he co-owned with visual artist/musician/band-mate Jodi Buonanno. Geoff and Jodi purchased and renovated the historic public building in 1998 by way of a HUD program designed to convert historic buildings that would otherwise be destroyed. The Grange Hall became home to a number of large studio spaces including a painting studio and a project-recording studio, along with plenty of living space. For 7 years Geoff and Jodi provided inexpensive living and studio space to an annual artist-in-residence who needed these resources to persue a specific project. Past residencies include photographers Patrick Graham and Melanie Standage, and artists Ron Rege and Ida Pearle.

Noite oficial dos OVNIs

200.179.235.133 07:01, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

A famosa Noite Oficial dos Ufos no Brasil, em 19 de Maio de 1986, configurou a visão simultânea de 21 naves que se movimentaram durante oito horas sobre a região de São José dos Campos no Estado de São Paulo e ficou célebre por envolver o então presidente da Petrobras, Ozires Silva (fundador da Embraer e ministro da Infra-Estrutura do governo Collor). O caso foi confirmado pelo então ministro da Aeronáutica, Brigadeiro Moreira Lima, que deslocou caças de várias bases para investigar e filmar a ocorrência, permitindo aos pilotos e operadores de radar que dessem testemunhos na imprensa.

Além dos radares do CINDACTA (Centro Integrado de Defesa Aérea e Controle de Tráfego Aéreo) que detectaram trafego não identificado na área, tripulantes e passageiros de um avião comercial que se preparava para pousar em São José dos Campos (SP), avistaram luzes vermelhas, verdes e brancas movimentando-se no horizonte. Entre os ocupantes estava o então presidente da Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica (EMBRAER), coronel Ozires Silva, que mandou o piloto comunicar a ocorrência ao controle aéreo do aeroporto de Congonhas. Os radares detectaram 21 pontos estranhos nos céus da região. "Não era nenhum tipo de aeronave, nuvem pesada ou satélite. Das luzes vinha um ruído diferente, que aos poucos foi parando," recorda-se Moreira Lima, que na época acionou o comando de Defesa Aérea. Dois caças Mirage decolaram da Base Aérea de Anápolis (GO), ao mesmo tempo em que dois caças F-5 saíam de Santa Cruz, subúrbio do Rio de Janeiro (RJ). As luzes, no entanto, começaram a se deslocar em altíssima velocidade, em direção ao Oceano Atlântico e deixaram para trás os supersônicos da Força Aérea Brasileira. " Até hoje, não se sabe o que realmente aconteceu naquela noite", admitiu Moreira Lima.

Cronologia dos fatos:

21h10 - Vários sinais luminosos são observados pelo comandante Alcyr.

21h14 - O controle de radar de São Paulo registra vários sinais sem identificação.

21h20 - Brasília confirma a presença de sinais sem identificação em seus radares.

22h23 - Decola da Base Aérea de Santa Cruz o primeiro jato F-5 para tentar interceptar os OVNIs.

22h45 - O radar da Base Aérea de Anápolis, em Goiás, detecta mais sinais sem identificação. Um Mirage decola da base em busca dos objetos.

23h15 - O piloto do primeiro F-5 a entrar em ação vê os objetos pela primeira vez e começa a perseguí-los.

23h17 - Mais um Mirage decola da Base Aérea de Anápolis, aumentando a perseguição inusitada.

23h20 - O F-5 detecta pela primeira vez os objetos em seu radar de bordo.

23h36 - Um terceiro Mirage decola da Base de Anápolis.

1. 1986 - Brazil, Noite oficial dos OVNIs(UFO's Official Night), more than 20 UFOs are seen and captured in radar in various parts of the country. Colonel Ozires Silva, former Embraer and at the time Petrobras President, flying a Xingu PT-MBZ aircraft near the place, is informed and tries to pursue the UFOs, later declaring “The lights were primary targets in the radar, positive targets, a concrete thing”. Two Northrop F-5 and three Mirage III are ultimately sent to intercept the UFOs. After radar and visual sightings, the objects disappeared. In the aftermath, Brigadier Otávio Júlio Moreira Lima, at the time the Ministry of Aeronautics, public declared]] - "Between 20:00 (19/05) and 01:00 (20/05) at least 21 objects have been detected by Brazilian radars.[...]We can only give technical explanations and we do not have them.[...]It’s fantastic, the radar signals were very clear."

MARTIN BAK- GUITARS ANDY AVERY- GUITARS RUY OLIVEIRA- BASS ANGELO CARIO- DRUMS MARK BYRNES- VOCALS

The band formed in New Jersey September 1988 and recorded 'Volume 1' one month later. It was just a demo, more like a reaction than a complete thought. It was released in February of 1989 and went onto sell 10,000 copies worldwide. At the time things were happening fast. They were courted by MCA Records, Tom Whalley @ Interscope Records, Vinny Vincent and countless others. Surprised by success, they confronted it head on. They wanted to do something about it. They toured across the United States.

They appeared regularly in magazines across the world including, Rip, Powerline, Metal Edge, Live Wire, Japans Burrn and Italy s Fireball. Fans were writing from Malaysia, Holland, Romania, Brazil, Japan and Australia. They even received a letter from a fan in Indonesia who had heard us on the radio there, and had purchased a tape on the black market. The same thing happened in the U.S.S.R. ‘A friend of mine, Andy recalls, stationed in Spain, in the Navy, told me about the day his roommate showed up with a cassette of a hot new band. He had just purchased it because everyone on his ship loved it. My friend recognized my picture on the cover. His shipmate had just picked up Stalkers Volume 1’.

In 1991 they went back into the studio with producer Dave Durr (Eventide Harmonizer) and recorded ‘Last Laugh’ and ‘Find A Way’. The songs were never released.

Ahhh, the sweet smell of success! They loved it, it loved them. After three tours in just as many years they were ready to release our first album. 'Peyote Picnic' was released in 1993. A collection of monstrously digable tunes, heavy on the edges deep in the middle, and single-handedly responsible for the mass hysteria which followed.

In 1994 the band recorded two last tracks ‘Long Way Home’ and ‘Confessions’ which were also unreleased. In 1995 Stalker spilt up.

Mark went on to other projects, writing ,recording and plying live shows in the metro- politan area.

Andy, Angelo, Martin and Ruy formed The Insaints and The Fedz. They wrote and recorded dozens of songs in their studio TRG Recording in West Paterson New Jersey.

Nikodemos (biblical person)

Nikodemos is a fariscean mentioned in the Gospell of John in the New Testament. In his dialouge with Jesus of Nazareth, many elements that are common in the Gospell o Joh appear, such as the lack of the Secret of Christ, the implication he "was the light and the way" and strong dualistic traits (light and darkness, good and evil). It is also implied that Nikodemos was a rabbi, as Jesus refer to his ignorance despite being "a teacher for Israel". When the farisceans claimed the law spoke against Jesus, Nikodemos objected and said he must be trialed from his actions and words before the law can judge him. He was answered with the fact the law never mention a prophet from Gaililee, implying he cannot be a prophet less he comes from Galilee. It is mentioned briefly Nikodemos faced Jesus in his grave, bringing about thirty kilos of myrrh and aloe mixed together.

MFM 92.6

MFM 92.6 is a Campus Based Community Radio Station. Whilst it was formerly known as MatieFM (and before that RadioMatie), since it attained a community broadcasting licence in 2000 it has established itself as a leader in among South African Community Radio stations, and especially among Campus based stations.

The station started operating in 1979 thanks to the initiative of members of the Student Representative council of the University of Stellenbosch - at the time known as the LSS-Committee(Langenhoven Student Centre, abbreviated in Afrikaans.It 'broadcast' via a set of speakers in the campus cafeteria known as the Langenhoven Student Centre, recently better known as the Neelsie. Musci was pplayed off 14 borrowed tapes and LP's and the equipment, a home-built mixing desk, was assembled by an enigineer studying at the university. From these humble beginnings 'broadcasting' was extended to the dinner halls of residences on campus via telephone lines. In 1994 the station was awarded a broadcasting licence and frequency, 92.6FM, it was also renamed MatieFM Stereo.

The first few years of the new millennium brought about rapid growth under the leadership of a tight-knit management and dedicated staff. In 2005 the station received a grant, enabling the upgrading of all equipment and offices to industry standards. Presenters now
