![]() ![]() If you’re a cat that is strictly into conscious Hip Hop and has no respect for that gangsta shit, then Lynch is not for you. Sacramento’s Brotha Lynch Hung is one of those guys that either you love, you hate, or you’ve never heard of. However, his legacy is not to be overlooked, as he is one of the first and earliest influential west coast rappers, which earns him a spot on this list. His career was sparse and unimpressive after 1993, and he would succumb to HIV in 1995 at the age of 31. His verses on “Fuck tha Police” and “Straight Outta Compton”, ghostwritten as they may have been, were revolutionary verses, and were delivered in a way that only Eazy could deliver. He was the first N.W.A member to drop a solo album, and was one of the very first west coast MC’s to represent, putting out the seminal “Boyz-N-The-Hood” in 1987. I was almost unable to overlook this, but it’s impossible not to recognize his legacy. His influence and legacy are just too great, though his legacy is certainly driven by his untimely death.īut any Hip Hop fan who goes for technicality will tell you that Eazy-E is, at times, one of the laziest and verbally-limited rappers. Long story short, Eazy-E was a character, a personality: to me, the back-story of Eazy-E’s short life and the firepower behind his sometimes clumsily-delivered lyrics make me realize that it would be wrong not to include him. Dre upon the dissolution of N.W.A, and how he was mistakenly invited to the White House and had dinner with President George H.W. I remembered how he stood his own in a vicious beef with Dr. I remembered how his loud flow and almost hilariously vulgar delivery command me to shut up and listen to his verses upon each spin of a classic N.W.A cut. But then I remembered the charisma and passion Eazy-E showed on his 1988 debut, Eazy-Duz-It. I almost didn’t include Eazy on this list, because, let’s face it, he was far from being the most technical or skilled rapper. And on this list, we’ll take a look at which of those talented or influential MCs made the cut, and why. ![]() There are plenty of lame west coast MC’s that are very one-dimensional with their lyrics, but for each wack MC, there are two talented or influential MCs. And while not all “gangsta” MCs are incompetent lyrically, it’s also important to realize that not all classic west coast Hip Hop is “gangsta rap”. Many Hip Hop purists don’t have as much respect for the west coast because of the raw, watered-down lyrics of instrumental-heavy “ gangsta rap” – it’s a world away from KRS-One and Rakim, that’s for sure. ![]() Many have criticized the technical skills of west coast rappers, and in some cases, that’s an accurate classification. It has also contributed a number of incredibly influential groups, from N.W.A to The Pharcyde from Hieroglyphics to Above the Law and many more. West Coast Hip Hop has given the culture some of its most polarizing and commercially successful acts, and has produced the most prolific rapper of the current generation. This list outlines what I believe to be the top 20 west coast rappers – from anywhere on the west coast – although you’ll find just one rapper here not from L.A. Instead of combining it into two lists, one for each area, I’ve decided to try something new here and do a top 20 instead. I highly recommend this film.So to me, the next logical move is to run down the best from the west coast, which is mostly represented by rappers from either the Los Angeles area or the San Francisco Bay area. If it is very very odd for you, then perhaps you'll learn something watching it. since 1982 and I found it to be very interesting on many levels. Open your minds, not everything is Ellen and Seinfeld. This should not be a drawback, but rather a very realistic telling of what happened. To the point that many like to mention about the vulgarity: it was real life depiction! movies about 1600 England have a certain dialect. southern accents, but that doesn't mean those flicks are not great. One need not have knowledge of the hip hop culture/industry, any more than one needs to know about southern America to watch and appreciate steel magnolias or fried green tomatoes (ok, I'm dating myself here). I was prepared for a typical bio (especially music bios) where the story is way ahead of the acting. Oshea Jackson was the weak link in my opinion but paul giamatti, and the guy who portrayed easy-e were amazing. I was shocked at how good the acting was. To say one needs to know ebonics and ridiculous things such as that.is racist. opinions will always vary on quality of movies, but I am shocked at many of the comments/reviews I've seen for soc (straight outta Compton). First of all, I am a white man, 58 years old. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() There is nudity, and a certain amount of sex, but consummation is consistently deferred. On the contrary, it is itself committed to dancing around its own subgenre. But the film doesn’t exactly call her on her rationalization. Instead, she insists, she’s just someone who needs a car and is sleeping with someone to get it. The film doesn’t acknowledge that sex workers are under threat, though, just as Maddie explicitly denies that she’s a sex worker. The Craigslist ad Maddie answers is an anachronism the site closed its personals section in 2018. The law has done little to reduce sex trafficking, but has succeeded in making it much more difficult for sex workers, already rejected by certain banks and payment processors, to make a living and pushes them toward the street, where they are much less safe. In 2018, bipartisan majorities in both chambers passed the Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act and Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act in a supposed effort to reduce trafficking that, in fact, prevented sex workers from advertising online. Anti-sex and anti-porn advocates have put a lot of effort into ( falsely) conflating sex work and sex trafficking. The cultural space for celebrating sordidness, or for celebrating sex work, has closed down considerably in the last few years, however. Allstar Picture Library Ltd//Alamy Stock Photo Rebecca de Mornay stars as call girl Lana in "Risky Business" (1983). In sex worker romcoms, you’re supposed to be scandalized at the sordidness - but in a fun way. At the same time, there’s little of the sober moralizing and doling out of consequences you see in more dramatic treatments like “Pleasure” (2021) or “Hustlers” (2019). Rows of women in revealing outfits are panned across various levels of nudity are hinted at, or more. Sex worker romcoms also, as a rule, revel in the risqué, using the presence of sex workers as an excuse to ramp up the titillation beyond what you get in most boy-meets-girl screen encounters. But in general, these sex worker romcoms see sex workers as sympathetic figures whose emotional and sexual labor is valuable and even transformative - even as the movies scurry to “save” sex workers from sex work by the end of the run time. The formula varies somewhat - Richard Gere’s Edward isn’t exactly nice in “Pretty Woman,” and Rebecca De Mornay’s Lana isn’t fleshed out enough as a character to have much of an arc in “Risky Business” (1983). Percy, for his part, is the nice guy who teaches the worldly woman the virtues of commitment, self-respect and (at least some degree of) sexual temperance. Percy is repressed, nervous and scared of women and of life. Maddie serves as his Manic Pixie “Call Girl,” drawing him out of his shell by encouraging him not just to flirt and kiss, but to drink wine, skinny dip and play piano in public. Pictorial Press Ltd / Alamy Stoc/ Stock Photo Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) sits beside Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) in "Pretty Woman" (1990). If you’re familiar with past sex worker romcoms like Billy Wilder’s “Irma La Douce” (1963), Ron Howard’s “Night Shift” (1982) or the blockbuster “Pretty Woman” (1990), you probably have a good sense of where the movie goes from there. And by “dating,” they mean having sex with him. Laird and Allison offer Maddie a Buick Regal in return for “dating” Percy. Their 19-year-old son Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman) is neurotic, shy and very inexperienced. Without the car, she can’t work and is likely to lose her house.ĭesperate, Maddie answers a Craigslist posting from concerned parents Laird (Matthew Broderick) and Allison (Laura Benanti).

In the refinement processes, a substantial portion of neuronal branches is often eliminated by local degeneration, in which a group of neuronal branches distal from a boundary point in a neuron is degenerated simultaneously 2, 5. Likewise, mitral and tufted cells in the olfactory bulb of rats initially have multiple primary dendrites that contact adjacent glomeruli however, they eventually lose all but one dendritic branch that remains in contact with a single glomerulus 4. For example, layer V neurons in the visual cortex of rats degenerate the distal compartment of the primary axons that is initially formed during early development and extends to the spinal cord 3. In the developing brain of vertebrates and invertebrates, after axon/dendrite outgrowth and synapse formation, neurons prune their axons and dendrites to eliminate excessive or inappropriate connections that initially formed during early development 1, 2. Further genetic analyses suggest that local endocytosis in proximal dendrites functions cooperatively with global endocytosis-mediated protein degradation pathways to promote dendrite pruning. Two GTPases, Rab5 and dynamin, are required for both the increased endocytic activity and compartmentalized Ca 2+ transients. In vivo imaging of single dendrites reveals an increase of endocytosis in proximal dendrites that spatially and temporally correlates with dendrite thinning, an early step in pruning tightly coupled with compartmentalized Ca 2+ transients. Here we report that local elevation of endocytic activity contributes to defining dendrites that generate Ca 2+ transients, triggering pruning. In Drosophila sensory neurons, compartmentalized calcium (Ca 2+) transients in dendrites act as spatiotemporal cues to trigger pruning, yet how neurons define the dendrites with Ca 2+ transients remains elusive. ![]() The refinement of neural circuits involves dendrite pruning, a process that removes inappropriate projections that are formed during development. ![]() ![]() ![]() While his mother was working, his father stayed home to take care of him and his sister.

Hare Krishna Ratha-Yatra through the streets of Boston, Massachusetts. It is a monotheistic tradition which has its roots in the theistic Vedanta traditions. Prabhupada most frequently offers Sanatana-dharma and Varnashrama dharma as more accurate names for the religious system which accepts Vedic authority. The individual soul has an eternal spiritual identity which does not ultimately merge into the non-dual consciousness (Brahman) as believed by the monistic ( Advaita) schools of Hinduism. To devotees, Radha represents Krishna's divine female counterpart, the original spiritual potency, and the embodiment of devotional love. Thus ISKCON devotees worship Krishna as the highest form of God, svayam bhagavan, and often refer to him as the Supreme Personality of Godhead in writing, which was a phrase coined by Prabhupada in his books on the subject. ISKCON describes Krishna as the source of all the avatars of God. These works are now available in more than seventy languages and serve as the scriptures of ISKCON. Key to the spread of Gaudiya Vaishnava theology in the Western world were Prabhupada's writings and translations, including the Bhagavad Gita As It Is, Srimad Bhagavatam ( Bhagavata Purana), Chaitanya Charitamrita, and other scriptures. Since then, ISKCON has established more than 800 centers all over the world and has millions of followers. The first Hare Krishna commune, New Vrindavan (West Virginia), was established by Prabhupada in 1968. He recorded several tracks with the Hare Krishnas and included the Mahamantra in his hit track "My Sweet Lord". When it spread to England, it gained publicity and financial backing from the Beatles' George Harrison. His movement, then known as the "Hare Krishna Movement", grew even larger when he relocated to San Francisco a year later. Instead of preaching to New York's elite, he tapped into the 1960s countercultural spirit by preaching and chanting in public parks and attracting hippies and the youth. At 70 years old, he landed in New York without any money (40 rupees of Indian currency). īhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, believed to have direct lineage with Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, brought Chaitanya's Gaudiya Vaishnavism to the West in 1965. He is considered by Gaudiya Vaishnavas to be an incarnation of Krishna himself. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu emphasized chanting the Hare Krishna Mahamantra (the 'great mantra'). This form of communal worship responded to rigid caste structures by engaging all people in worship regardless of caste and creed. He established Sankirtan, the practice of publicly expressing devotion to Krishna, the Supreme God, through dance and song. ![]() Gaudiya Vaishnavism was founded by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who rapidly spread his form of ecstatic bhakti (devotion) throughout Bengal. Gaudiya Vaishnavism has had a following in India, especially West Bengal and Odisha, for the past five hundred years. Vaishnavism means 'worship of Vishnu', and Gauḍa refers to the area where this particular branch of Vaishnavism originated, in the Gauda region of West Bengal and Bangladesh. ISKCON devotees follow a disciplic line of Gaudiya Vaishnavas and are the largest branch of Gaudiya Vaishnavism.

My loads work in 16" carbines and 10.3" SBR's with a suppressor. You do have to pay attention to having the correct buffer and spring in your rifle. I've been at this since 2007 working with cast and jacketed projectiles from 53gr to 100gr. ![]() I have come up with a 223/5.56mm ammo that is subsonic, fits in a standard magazine, and cycles without modification to the rifle. well, not all on my own - I did have an ammo company give me some hints way back when. ![]() |
