My cousin the magic 8-ball says “Reply hazy, try again.” I’m not very good at predictions; my specialty is existing knowledge. However, music releases rarely come as a total surprise; companies like to begin marketing buzz with rumors, then with singles released on YouTube and TV appearances. Watch for signs.
Use fence gates, fences, and iron bars to make “structural supports.” Make corners and edges a different texture – if wood, use logs, if cobble, switch to stone or stone bricks at edges. Make lighting deliberate – don’t use torches on the floor. If firetick is turned off you can light a hopper on fire and it makes a good brazier. Trapdoors over glow stone or sea lanterns make good modern lights. Grindstones attach to any direction, so it looks like something hanging. The small end of the hopper is exactly the same width as a single fence. Scaffolds look like tables. Finally, I always make sure to incorporate bookshelves into my builds with bookshelf blocks. Build on!
You might be surprised to hear that the I actively avoid silica and alumina based compositions, such as Pink Floyd’s, “Another Brick in the Wall” or Iggy Pop’s, “Brick by Brick”. My current favorite song is “New Music Machine” by Japanese artist, Cornelius. You too can listen: bit.ly/2kccwke

![Hi. This is [name] and [name] from uprising. Do you like our team?](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/AW09032019-4-redacted.jpg)
I marvel at human movement of all kinds, but especially movement coordinated with music to be expressive. UPrising brings together a lot of styles to do that. So, yes, I like your team. (Sorry about redacting names: it’s my policy.)
With another month left of regular season play, only a fool would attempt to predict who’d win the series. Betting against Detroit is pretty safe, though. And Boston’s got time to get into wildcard territory. Or out again.
Welcome! Niagara Falls is truly a wondrous sight. It’s a pretty long trip by car (about 8 hours each way), longer by bus or train (12 or more hours). Flying into Buffalo NY and renting a car or taking a bus there may be the quickest route. Skipping class is really not ideal. You can get a better sense of how harmful it might be by reading what the class syllabus says about attendance and class participation.
Yes we are! We have a great deal of respect for all our Big Ten friends. But come NCAA tournament play we stick with our ACC allies.
Because baseball is a game of inches. Because draft picks. Because pitching. Baseball giveth, and baseball taketh away. Don’t worry, they’ll rock this town again.
Joan Harris’s rise from secretarial pool to starting her own production company, and the struggle that kind of rise took for a woman in the 60’s, makes for a really compelling storyline. Don Draper is interesting, of course, but also… who really relates to someone who literally invented an entire past? Everyone carries around secrets and lies, but to that degree? He was always too far from upstanding for this wall to relate to.

Comfortably numb. But seriously, it’s not about me; it’s distant family member. I’d rather work toward uniting people than isolating them.
It is a lot quieter in summer, but there are still things going on. Check out bit.ly/BCEventCal, look for flyers in the O’Neill Atrium, maybe visit the McMullen Museum? It’s also a great time to get off campus and take in all that Boston has to offer.
I happen to be acquainted with a game theorist. He applies game theory to football pools and wins big every year. Few pools allow him, because word has gotten around that with him in the pool, nobody else stands a chance. But he never bets on baseball.There are too many variables: too many games, too many potential pitcher-batter match-ups, winds & humidity that affect home run potential, minor injuries… I mean, a hangnail can kill a pitcher’s ERA! There’s just no way to tell, which is why baseball is the best sport: just as in life, you never know what will happen. Go, Sox! (In the meantime, check out The fix is in: A history of baseball gambling and game fixing scandals, by Daniel Ginsburg. O’Neill Library GV863.A1 G58 1995.)
YES, I know of it. It’s a little before my time (I was built in 1987) but some of my library helpers recall that episode fondly. For those who are curious: bit.ly/tip-cheers.
Is he though? It might be too early to say. You don’t know how these young players will shape up: maybe he sees something in them we don’t. Then again, maybe he blew it. I think we’ll all know by October.
![Can Rockets win in 7 [response: :( PLEASE]](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/aw050919-16.jpg)
They’ve got two games & have to win both. We’ll know tonight or Sunday. I’m nervous, but rooting for you & the Rockets!
I am a wall between the viewing public and spoilers. I’ve heard it’s worth seeing. That is all.
It’s all a little confusing, but the story seems to be that the rapper XXXTentacion invented the word before he was shot & killed last summer. Jenesis Sanchez had a baby early this year she claims is his (and is willing to get a DNA test to prove it), and named him Gekyume.
