Unity Triad

Mon, 14 Jul 2003 04:36:19 -0500

Toolunity is proud to announce the release of the long awaited Unity Triad. Reunity & its counterpart Fuckunity are now open to the masses, fully functional & running smoothly. The sites are not totally complete, mainly because a community site cannot be complete without its community. Each of the sites will evolve as they experience an influx of people.

If you were one of the people who was infinitely excited upon discovering Toolunity, if you were one of the few who was really serious about starting some kind of unity commune, if you were one of those who came here happy to have found, finally, people who seem to somehow share part of your mind, if you also came here hoping to accomplish something great, you are encouraged to join Reunity & help us to rediscover community.

If you are one of those people who is more inclined to say "fuck everything, i'd rather jack off", Fuckunity is the place for you. Bear in mind Fuckunity is strictly for those 18 years of age or older, mature youth will not be tolerated. If you are over 18 & would like to engage in an ongoing exploration of sex & sexuality with your peers, mosey on over & join Fuckunity now free of charge.
Ultimately, Fuckunity will become a pay site, hopefully supporting the rest of our endeavors here & with Reunity.
For now, we are only encouraging donations.

If you like what you see here or on the sister sites, if Unity really means something to you, we would like to remind you that this place doesnt actually run itself, these sites do not create themselves just for your pleasure, there is a lot of labor involved, a lot of time, & even some money. Support these sites by helping to support its creator, monetarily or otherwise. If it wouldnt be too huge a burden for you to chip in a few bucks, dont hesitate to click the lil hand to your left & drop a tithing or two onto the Unity collection plate.

I would like to thank Mr.Pink, lovers & xandra for continuing to pay their monthly subscriptions to Fuckunity even after I had long since closed the site for revamping, without those I would have a hard time even keeping Toolunity alive these last few months. Also, a huge thank you goes out to Lyyra, Stephen, Malcalypse & Skye for their time, input & suggestions on the sister sites, without you guys, these sites might never have seen the virtual light of day.

Thanks everyone for ur inspiration.

Now go, enjoy the triad & be happy.

Fourth Installment

Sat, 14 Jun 2003 01:36:13 -0500

Pineaway,

Sounds like you and your friend are in a difficult situation with the whole ring-tailed lemur thing. I think it would be in your best interest to pursue this in a legal manner. As for repair you might start saving up money to travel to the jungle because Ring-tailed lemurs are found solely on the island of Madagascar, an island off of southeast Africa. There are no repair shops in the states.. sorry.

As for the pinch harmonic vs. regular harmonic.

A pinch harmonic is produced when a note is actually fretted with your left hand on the neck (this is all assuming that you are a right handed player.. if not switch the info the opposite way) and your picking hand is holding the pick in such a way that the second after the pick hits the string the thumb follows behind with an almost instant muffe. You will get better pinch harmonics depending on where you place your thumb as it hits the picked string after the initial strike.

A regular harmonic is produced by placing your fretting finger gently above the fret (not pressing down) and plucking it with your picking hand. There is a large placement of harmonics on the neck... following the fret placing (scale of 18) and the natural overtone series that our ears can hear inside the audio spectrum

I hope that helped you out a little.. any more help on harmonics you can email me at eyesnears69@hotmail.com

as for Mindwalk here is your info

1.) The Ibanez Artfield is Extremely rare, and will most likely run you over $1700 dollars at the very cheapest. They were only made between 1987-1990 in three series. And the majority of them reside in France....

B.) In the Chicagoland area this is your best bet for cd duplication and any type of studio work... they have a huge selection....http://www.matervillestudios.com/news.html

D.) In twenty plus years of playing I have had many pedals involved in both my bass, guitar and keyboard rigs. I have had everything from midisynth shit to simple boss DOD petals but the weirdest pedal i have ever worked with was an old electric organ effects pedal bastardized by some old psychotic satanic friend of mine, it didn't have any recognizable brand name on it, but it it had a series of dials like an old vacuum cleaner (rate, depth, "balls" which was like built in flange, and "small gain" and "large gain" The pedal was about the size of a toaster and all those dials were to be adjusted by feet. it easily weighed 10 lbs. and it sounded like an airplane accident. Blew my freaking mind.. he wouldn't sell it.. You should look around for things in your house.. if you are at all good with electronics almost any household appliance can become part of your rig.

5.) There is a tie in my mind for the best band name .. they are

Obi BonKaJovi ( a band from my home state of Maine that does Bon Jovi songs in a StarWars type of Vibe)
and
John Cougar Concentration Camp ( a pretty well known acoustic punk type of band that actually has quite a following)

6.) The second best name is also a tie
Curl Up and Die - a raging emo-core bad in the vein of Don Cabellero and Modest Mouse
and
Batman and His Giant Walking Dildo - A trippy acid rock thrash band in the style of the Happy Flowers and Anal Cunt

F.) Worst Bad Name is also a tie
Deceased the Evil Side of Religion (DTESOR) a early to mid eighties death/black metal band from New Jersey
and
Hoobastank.... self explanatory

Have a great day
Peace
Neon

Now, the weather

Thu, 12 Jun 2003 07:00:05 -0500

Psylocibe cubensis grows in copius quantities along the gulf coast of Florida. I have found patches where there are so many there i couldn't pick them all, nor would i even attempt to.
The Panama City Beach area has received 2.68 inches of rain in the last seven days but it looks like the weather today will be superb. So, if you live in the Panama City Beach area and are interested in the taxonomy of the P. cubensis and feel an urge to study....

You are now safe to consume. So shut up and BUY!

This is an interesting tidbit out of Madison Wisconsin from Madison independant news.

Question: Has anybody else seen/heard the helicopter hovering and flying over the isthmus all evening? It's not the UW medevac, nor a traffic copter (there are no expressways downtown), nor a military model. It's green with a yellow stripe, civilian make, criscrossing over the isthmus. Strange. Anybody else see/hear it?

First response: The colors are the new Homeland Security helicopters, the reason? Remember all those pictures taken at the Mayors Conference last June? And we just went to Orange Alert. Coincidence?

Les, Danny, and Adrian

The Colonel Spotted at Rancho Relaxo
January saw a powerful meeting of the minds when Les spent a couple of weeks at his home studio 'Rancho Relaxo' working with Adrian Belew (King Crimson, also worked with Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Talking Heads) and Danny Carey (Tool, Pygmy Love Circus). A handful of tracks were completed for an upcoming Belew solo project and work was also done toward a new trio project. The three resume work in late May.

Suicide machine unveiled in Sydney

SUICIDE MACHINE UNVEILED IN SYDNEY
Story from BBC NEWS
Published: 2003/05/31 11:54:29 GMT

Australia's leading euthanasia advocate has unveiled a suicide machine which promises a quick death to those who want it.

Philip Nitschke's invention delivers a lethal dose of carbon monoxide pumped through a tube from a mini generator.

The machine was unveiled at a conference

He displayed the machine at a conference in Sydney called "Killing me Softly", organised by the lobby group Exit Australia and attended by mainly elderly people.

Dr Nitschke told the packed conference hall that the most common method for the elderly to commit suicide was by hanging, which was a grim and undignified way to die.

His insisted his invention would offer a more humane alternative which even the weakest would be able to operate.

Euthanasia was briefly legalised in Australia's Northern Territory in 1996. Several people died after receiving lethal injections before the legislation was repealed by the federal government two years later.

'Fundamental right'

The new machine consists of a plastic container containing carbon monoxide, tubing and nasal prongs which allow a lethal dose of the gas to be administered within two to three breaths.

Those opposed to euthanasia, who dub Dr Nitschke 'Australia's Dr Death', say the contraption is a frightening development which represents a "blatant attack on the fundamental fabric of society".

But Dr Nitschke insists those with terminal and painful illnesses have the right to choose when and how to end their lives.

"Suicide's not a crime and so if you can suicide peacefully and effectively in the context of serious suffering, that to many people represents the only answer while we wait around for our politicians to move," he told Australian radio.
