Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars is the third studio album by English electronic music producer Fatboy Slim. It was first released on 6 November 2000 in the United Kingdom by Skint Records and a day later in the United States by Astralwerks. The album features contributions from Macy Gray, Ashley Slater, Bootsy Collins, Roland Clark, and Roger Sanchez, and its title, referenced in the song "Weapon of Choice", is an allusion to the Oscar Wilde quote, "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
On the other hand, Pitchfork wrote, "After enjoying a few years of relative popularity, it seems big-beat's appeal and relevance are waning. [...] After listening to Slim's latest, Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars, it seems we've reached come-down time. And surprise! It's no fun at all", though "the problem lies more with the everchanging landscape of electronic music and the dying big-beat genre than it does with his technical skill."[7] Entertainment Weekly called it "Melodically repetitive, the songs only intermittently approach the energizing highs of earlier Fatboy cuts."[3] Spin called it a "post-masterpiece puzzler where the kicks just keep getting harder to find, spread-eagle between pop limitations and artistic aspirations."[10]

El álbum presenta colaboraciones de Macy Gray, Ashley Slater, Bootsy Collins, Roland Clark y Roger Sanchez, y su título, al que se hace referencia en la canción Weapon of Choice, es una alusión a la cita de Oscar Wilde, Todos estamos en la alcantarilla, pero algunos de nosotros estamos mirando las estrellas (We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars).
The chief prosecution witness was Los Angeles Police Officer Zeuner, a narcotics investigator. Over defense objections, he first testified to his observations on August 27, 1975. On that day, he and another officer were conducting a surveillance of a methadone center located near 4th and Olive Streets. Zeuner, using a powerful telescope, observed defendant park a red pick-up truck about halfway between the methadone center and the street corner. Defendant left the truck, using the driver's door, entered the passenger's side, stepped outside, closed the truck door, and stood by the truck. At that point, four persons, who had come from the methadone center, approached defendant. Zeuner recognized two persons from previous narcotics investigations. He had arrested one of them for being under the influence of narcotics.
While one officer detained defendant, Zeuner went to the area where he had seen the throwing motion. He saw a Camel cigarette pack with the top ripped off sitting directly next to the tire in the curb area. Inside [70 Cal. App. 3d 276] the pack were 12 orange balloons. Zeuner believed, based on his experience, that the balloons contained street-packaged heroin. He looked inside defendant's truck through the window. On the front seat he saw the top of a Camel pack, which he retrieved. It matched the bottom part found in the gutter. Later analysis showed that the balloons contained heroin. At the time, Officer Zeuner formed the opinion that because of the quantity of heroin and the absence of tracks on defendant's arms, the items were possessed for sale. Each balloon contained about two grams, usually referred to as a spoon. Two grams would be an approximate average use once a day for an average addict.

Michael Jackson has opted out of this week's Grammys. The announcement, made by a spokesman for the international media, seems strange in the wake of lawsuits and name calling in that tug of war between the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences -- the Grammy people -- and the American Music Awards -- Dick Clark's show -- over which venue the singer would choose.Advertisement
The gala at the Staples Center in Los Angeles will feature a reprise of the Grammy-nominated duet between Tony Bennett and Billy Joel on the latter's "New York State of Mind." The track -- from the "Playin' With My Friends: Bennett Sings the Blues" album -- is among those up for this year's best pop collaboration with vocals award.
Afraustraloderes has some of these characteristics: viz. items 1, 2, 5, 7, 13 (partly) and 14. But it does not exhibit the majority of the features listed above: viz. nos. 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Regarding no. 9, although the metathoracic episterna are truncate apically, there is an evident constriction near the distal end. Regarding no. 10, there are the usual two spurs between the end of the tibia and the base of the tarsus, but there are no apical teeth or spines on the tibiae themselves. Regarding no. 11, there is micro-punctation on the disc of the male, but not in the female. Thus, from the above analysis it can be concluded that Afraustraloderes does not belong in the tribe Hopliderini. We propose that this genus be removed from the Hopliderini and regarded as Prioninaeincertae sedis.
Sexual dimorphism. The morphological differences between the sexes are largely confined to the anterior parts of the thoracic segments. The most noticeable difference lies in the appearance and structure of the pronotum. Although the outline is quite similar in both male and female. The pronotal disc of the male has an even, matte surface, while that of the female has a very irregular lustrous surface (Figure 2A). The male pronotum is mostly shallowly irrorate or punctate, with three deep depressions: two large lateral ones, elliptic in outline; and a smaller dot-like pit medially (Figure 1A). Conversely, the female pronotum is heavily and deeply sculptured, with two irregular smooth and raised areas in about the same position as the elliptic depressions of the male (Figure 2A).
Pronotum. Distinctly transverse, length/width ratio of pronotal disc (lateral spines excluded) approximately 0.6; anterior margin straight to shallowly concave, posterior margin slightly convex medially; three stout spines present laterally on either side, two straight spines at edge of anterior margin and at posterior corner respectively, one strongly curved spine between previous two and pointing posteriorly; few irregular small teeth between first and second spine; pronotal disc irregularly folded and foveate to shallowly vermiculate, elevated parts shiny; sparse yellowish- to rusty brown and somewhat curly pubescence covering much of surface, particularly dense along anterior margin.
Ventral surface. Gula strongly concave and densely punctate in anterior part, transversely undulate in posterior part; prosternum pubescent, distinctly convex with anterior border strongly thickened; prosternal process ligulate with apex bent dorsally; procoxal cavities open; mesosternum punctate and pubescent, very short; mesosternal process short with median furrow, bifurcate apically; metasternum strongly convex, pubescent, finely punctate and glossy; all five visible abdominal sternites of subequal length, finely punctate, pubescent and glossy; last visible sternite with rounded to weakly truncate posterior border in female, weakly concave in male; epipleura well developed in correspondence with dorsal gutter-like extension of elytral margin. 2ff7e9595c
