Snicker. I find this completely surprising since it this bullet-proof code
was written by a 19 year old in his dorm room. I can't imagine how he could
have possibly overlooked and security issues...

BTW - what _exactly_ are these security issues? As I understand it, you are
opening a port on your box to anonymous ftp - this certainly is an issue.

On another related note - are folks that have DSL running personal firewall
software (e.g., NetworkIce's BlackIce Defender)? I certainly hope that you
are (this is of course an issue with DSL as you have a static IP address). I
have been shocked at the number time my machine at home thats on DSL is
"probed" by others looking for security holes, trojan horses, etc. My
empirical observation is that I get probed once ever 12 hours or so of
connect time. The frequence is steadily increasing as well.

Jack Haley; Icon of Surfing Loses Cancer Battle
By SANDY YANG, L.A. Times Staff Writer
Friends called him Mr. Excitement. Jack Haley, Seal Beach surfing
icon and restaurateur, pulled off everything with grandeur and style.
So it wasn't surprising that before Haley died Sunday after a
battle with cancer, the 65-year-old had planned his own beach party
memorial bash, with mariachi music and Hawaiian shirts.
"He demanded there not be a tear at the party," his son, Tim, said
Monday. "He wanted it to celebrate his life."
The date, time and place for the party have yet to be decided.
Meanwhile, scores of Haley's friends and admirers have been dropping by
his restaurant, Captain Jack's, to pay their respects, Tim Haley said.
Haley, who two years ago was inducted into the Surfing Hall of Fame
and Walk of Fame in Huntington Beach, was never far from the surf that
made him a local legend.
He was just a young man when he took top honors in the first
surfing championship held near the Huntington Beach pier. The year was
1959, and Haley was credited with laying the foundation that would later
give the seaside community its nickname: Surf City.
In 1961, he opened one of the area's first surf shops, Jack Haley's
Surfboards. Four years later, he opened Captain Jack's restaurant on
Pacific Coast Highway.
He loved Seal Beach, and always seemed to be either starting or
finishing a community project, his friends said. In 1997, for example,
Haley headed a campaign to raise private funds to build a police
substation atop the lifeguard headquarters. The building is named for
him.
Haley, who stood 6 feet 6, "was large in presence as he was in
stature," said Rich Harbour, a surfboard manufacturer who knew Haley for
about 40 years. "When he walked into a room, you felt it right away.
People looked at him with respect. . . . Whatever he did, it was bigger
than life. If he threw a party, it would be one of the most amazing
parties in years and everyone would talk about it."
Of all his accomplishments, Haley was probably best known as a
surfing pioneer. In those early days, he made boards and rode the waves
when it was rare to find someone who did either.
Young aspiring surfers have long looked up to Haley as a mentor.
Many, like Harbour, bought their first surfboards from him.
A bit of a maverick, Haley always preferred surfing on the long
boards crafted in the 1960s to the shorter boards that became popular
later, friends said.
"He caught more waves than anyone," said Bruce Jones, a surfboard
manufacturer. "He was just being himself, and he stood out of the
crowd."
Haley almost always wore bright Hawaiian shirts--untucked--with
shorts and flip-flop sandals.
He is survived by his mother, Virginia; his wife, Jeanette; and
children, Tim, Sondra and Jack Jr., who played professional basketball,
including two seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. They plan to sprinkle
his ashes into the ocean off Maui and Cabo San Lucas, where he owned
homes.
"His ashes will be poured into the sea, so he will continue
surfing," said Tim Haley.

Anytime you have your computer connected to the internet 24/7 and are
running a program like Napster (or a host of others which, in essence
makes your hard drive(s) "available" to others), there are security risks
involved.  Risks which I take no chances of running even though I use
nothing even remotely close to Napster, et al.  In other words, if you
are one of the thousands of databases being probed for music information,
what's to stop someone else from writing a program that would work with
Napster (or another application), to do a search for data sensitive,
personal files on your computer?  Anything from your bank account
balance, income tax data files you happen to be working on, etc.

What I've been doing for a while now just to be safe is to keep ALL data
sensitive files like the above off my main hard drives, period.  They're
never stored there.  Those types of files I store on zip discs and back
up weekly on CD-RWs.  I then use the files off those media when they're
needed.  Personal correspondence is handled the same way.  And when I'm
using these files, my internet connection is not active.  In addition to
keeping potential prying eyes off my data, it's also a wise thing to do
if you use a portable laptop computer (as I do); in the event it gets
stolen, I at least wouldn't lose any data (including email, which is also
backed up weekly) because the zips and CD-RWs are always with me in a
small case *separate* from the laptop, plus I keep an 2nd set of
identical data stored at home.  And, if someone happens to burgle my
home, all the zip discs are password protected at the root level which is
impossible to bypass!

Of course ... sigh ...

My point was that people running DSL - irrespective of whether they are
maintaining a continuous connection to the net - should be running firewall
software. You would be a fool not to. The issue is the static IP address
that accompanies DSL connections.

Whoa. This is _way_ too bizarre.

Well, just to keep it exotica-related. . . you know the Ventures'
debut album had a version of "Caravan"!

A really nice version, actually.

Let's see. . . _Walk Don't Run_ . . . looks like 3 originals, the
rest covers, ranging from "Sleep Walk" and "Night Train" to "Tara's
Theme," and some more obscure ones I don't know.

OK, another disk has the titles/tracks of their first 9 Dolton LPs:


_Walk Don't Run _ (BLP 2003/BST 8003)
_The Ventures_ (BLP 2004/BST 8004)
_Another Smash_ (BLP 2006/BST 8006)
_The Colorful Ventures_ (BLP 2008/BST 8008)
_Twist with the Ventures_ (BLP 2010/BST 8010)
_The Ventures Twist Party Vol. 2_ (BLP 2014/BST 8014)
_Mashed Potatoes and Gravy_ (BLP 2016/BST 8016)
_Going to the Ventures Dance Party_ (BLP 2017/BST 8017)
_The Ventures Play Telstar - The Lonely Bull_ (BLP 2019/BST 8019)


Now *I* really want to look out for some of these--since it looks
aside from various "dance craze" numbers, their first six LPs have
covers of several songs we would ordinarily consider Exotica
Standards. . .  like,

Hawaiian War Chant
Blue Tango
Perfida
Moon of Manakoora
Beyond the Reef
Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White
Yellow Bird
Movin' & Groovin'
Bumble Bee Twist  [I have GOT to hear this one!]
Besame Mucho
Dark Eyes Twist


Anyone out there have these? Care to report?

Art is a combination of feeling, inborn talent and practiced skill.
Drugs do nothing to give one talent or skill, they can only tear
down the barriers to experiencing feelings. The problem is, most of
the time the barrier blocking a creative person from feeling and
creating is erected by the addiction itself. It's a vicious cycle
that doesn't do anyone any good. Drugs aren't responsible for art,
artists are.

I don't have that one (saw the movie but I must confess that for some

find the track "Gorgeous Linda" (Mrs. Lovelace, I presume) by The
Lions in the french comp. "Orchestral Party, Act 1". Same comp has a
cool throatspotation track: "Super Erotica" by "Super Erotica" (got
it?), from the soundtrack to the movie "Rita: Erotica".
But my fave porn tune is Claudia Vita's "Amame", which is spanish for
"love me"; I have sometimes seen it listed as "Amami", which is
Italian. Whether she is Spanish or Italian it is not clear, as the
"lyrics" won't help a lot but, hey, she has a truly evocative voice
anyway. Check the track on "Mood Mosaic, vol. 3: The Sexploitation";
there's also another C. Vita suspirious track ("Dr. Piano") in it.
And I would add the 2 vols. of "Nymphomania"; not much porn
soundtrack music as one would expect on these, but at least the cover
girls help to get the idea.
Any other perverted has some more tracks/records to point out to me?
Ehm, ciao

That was Ross Jr... The story goes that some DJ in Maine played
Blodie's "Call Me" at 45 instead of 33 and announced that it was
from the new album by Alvin & the Chipmunks titled "Chipmunk Punk".
It was just a joke, but the DJ found out that record stores all over
the area were flooded with calls asking for the non-existent album.
Ross Jr. caught wind of what was going on, and quickly cranked out
the album to take advantage of the publicity and it ended up selling
like hotcakes. I believe it went gold in the US and Platinum in
Australia (a hotbed of Chipmunk fandom).

He died in the mid 70s of a heart attack. He had retired from show
business and was operating a vinyard. At the time he passed away,
he was the largest supplier of grapes to Gallo, so you can get
an idea of the size of his operation.

The origin of the Chipmunks was pure luck. Ross Sr. had spent all of
his savings to buy a reel to reel tape recorder. He experimented with
speeding up voices with the Witch Doctor single, but that was a brief
hit, then it disappeared. He came up with "The Chipmunk Song" (Christmas
Don't Be Late) and went to Liberty Records to see if they would release
it. He found out that Liberty was on the verge of bankruptcy. He pointed
out that they had a large supply of vinyl pucks (the raw material 45s
were made of) and if they went under, the bank would just end up with
them... no reason not to press them up into Chipmunk singles. Liberty
said OK, so they did a batch of singles and sent them out to radio
stations. Suddenly the roof blew off and the demand for the singles
was huge. If you have one of the singles, you can tell what batch it's
from by the color of the label. They were pressing them so fast, they
ran out of the original purple label and went to green... then red...
then about four other colors. They ended up selling more records in
the three months before Christmas 1958 than any other record had sold
in an entire year up to that point.

Ross Sr. wasn't a musician per se. He would sit on the piano bench
next to his arranger and hum out the melodies for him. The cool
bouncing saxophone sound of his early records made the animated
Alvin Show one of the best shows of its era.

Feel free to ask if there's any specific info you're looking for.

See ya

I have "I, A Woman 2" (although grammatically that probably should be "I'm
a woman as well") with soundtrack by Sven Gyldmark, whose career stretched
over 50 years!  I cannot recall the soundtrack, but I don't recall it being
such a much.

Good story and it certainly shows up a lot in those piles of vinyl at the
"op-shops" down under.

First of all, I'm probably confusing matters a bit when I talk about early
vs later Ventures, given that I'm really just talking about a matter of a
few years difference.
I call the records "earlier" when they're covering tunes like "More",
"Memphis" and "Wipe out" as they do on "Let's Go!" or when they're covering
the "Pink Panther Theme" on "The Fabulous Ventures".
On the other hand, on that same record they also cover "Needles and Pins"
so they're starting to move to the kind of material I call "later".
But I call it "later" when they're covering stuff like "The Mighty Quinn"
and "Cry like a baby" which they do on "Flights of Fantasy" or "I'm a
Believer" which they do on "Guitar Freakout".
My general preference for the "later" ones is not based solely on the kind
of hits they cover.  It's also based on the sound they go for in their
original material.
I think my favourite Ventures record - of the ones I have anyway - is
"Ventures in Space".  And I call that an earlier one.  AND it's mostly
original tunes.
But they really go for this heavy "in space" sound and it works.
I really like their earlier more "tinny" material too but I guess I prefer
them when they're trying to be a bit heavier,  when they use a bit of fuzz
guitar, when they're doing their version of a "guitar freakout" or their
version of "psychedelia".
And you generally find MORE of this kind of stuff on records where they're
covering "Sunshine of your Love" than you do on records where they're
covering "Tequila".
On the other hand, I've heard some stuff that is a bit later than I'm
calling "later" and for me, they were starting to lose it by then.
Even on some of the later ones that I have - like Swamp Rock - they were
starting to lose the thing which made them great.
This is a hard thing to talk about without actually playing the stuff for
you but I guess that's not the first time that's happened on this list.
I used to think they were kind of a joke band but then I bought this great
CD "The ep Collection".  And then I heard "In space".
They really did have a sound that was somehow distinct from other guitar
instrumental or surf bands.  I can't explain it but it's unmistakable.
And you can hear that sound on what I'm calling the "early stuff".  You
might even say that you can hear it more consistently on those records.
But I prefer the stuff when they were trying to change their sound - a bit
- - to keep up with the British Invasion and the psychedelic era etc etc.
Like a lot of exotica - for me - it failed in ways that I find compelling.

And I can't leave this subject behind without (once again) mentioning the
parallel to Sandy Nelson records.  In that case, his earlier records with
all those long drum passages, pretty well suck.  But when he started
covering "rock hits" in the mid to later sixties, his records were
basically Ventures records with a bit more organ in the background.  And
those records are really good.  So in that case, I'd totally recommend the
later over the earlier.
With the Ventures, it's not so clear cut.

Is this the same "Zoom" that is on the exoticaring tape that you just
received?  In other words, is it a cover of the "Zoom" that's on the "Live
for Life" soundtrack?
Or maybe there were a lot of different songs named Zoom.  It's a good word.

No issue like Napster should be outside the "charter" of any group that
discusses music because it *affects* music.  And since it's pretty safe
to say that 99% of us who read these messages do so on a computer (and
not WebTV), it affects us who use computers as well (those who choose to
use Napster, that is).

>Whoa. This is _way_ too bizarre.

Absolutely nothing bizarre about it.  Suffer some data loss from a hard
drive failure of ANY kind (let alone thievery) and you'll soon learn to
backup on a very regular basis what you don't want to bother to recreate
from scratch.  Don't want to bother with backing up because "it's too
much effort"???  When something happens to your precious data because you
didn't want to make the effort to back it up, then *I'll* be the one who
snickers.

>BTW - it is possible to crack your password protected zip disks.

No it's not, not without rewriting/initializing the discs (which would
defeat the entire purpose of getting what's on them).  When a password is
written at the root level of a drive or disc, there is no mechanism by
which to defeat it without destroying the data on the disk in the process.

How about Wrapster.  It allows you to send archive files through the Napster
system.  It tacks an mp3 tag onto the archive so Napster thinks it's an mp3
and sends it on it's jolly way.  I think it will be a great alternative to
uploading stuff to an ftp so someone can down load it.  As long as they have
Napster running you can send programs/photos/samples/whatever directly to
them, plus you can password protect the archive so it won't be opened by some
other curious Napster user.

What is bizarre is the continual ham-fisted approach to describing to the
group what is generally considered mundane computer knowledge. For example:

Apparently humor is lost on some (reread my original posts if you feel the
need).

I'll stand by my statement - "this is _way_ too bizarre".

BJ - I'm sure that others on this list are getting a little tired of this
thread - please feel free to take this offline with me if you'd like to beat
this dead horse any further.
