Did any women/girls from back in the day ever found Christopher “Kid” Reid from Kid N Play attractive or cute?

I’m not saying that I’m attracted to him. I just want to know if any ever found him saying “ooh he’s cute girl”, or as ugly/unattractive. A lot who knew Kid ‘ N Play always bragged about Christopher “Play” Martin as attractive and cute, including my older cousins who listened to their music and used to watch the movies House Party and Class Act. I never heard anyone ever talking about the other rap member.

CoActiv PACS4VETS™ to Exhibit Veterinary PACS Solutions at the North American Veterinary Conference

Ridgefield, CT (PRWEB) January 7, 2005

CoActiv Medical Business Solutions of Ridgefield, CT, a software and systems provider to hospitals and imaging centers, will be highlighting PACS4VETS™, a full solution PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) designed to meet the specific requirements of the veterinary profession, at the North American Veterinary Conference (booth # 1025), January 8th – 12th, in Orlando, FL. CoActiv, an ACVR partner and sponsor, developed PACS4VETS™ as an affordable, fast and accurate digital imaging solution for veterinary hospitals and universities that eliminates the need for costly film purchases and storage.

CoActiv PACS4VETS™ was created by the same team that produced the CoActiv EXAM-PACS™ line of digital imaging products being used in hospitals and imaging centers for human radiology diagnosis. CoActiv PACS4VETS™ operates in the same manner as a human PACS, but with the enhancements and refinements desired by veterinary radiologists. It is a digital imaging solution that acquires the images rendered during a CT, MRI, Ultrasound, etc., exam and displays the images on a computer screen. The veterinary radiologist can then enhance the image for improved diagnosis by zooming, adjusting the contrast, annotating and marking, and measuring regions of interest – all by using a desktop PC. Exams can also be saved and stored on-line indefinitely, or saved to CD, eliminating and thus reclaiming the valuable storage space needed for film-based exams. All images, documentation and records in an animal examination can now be digitally archived and transmitted instantaneously anywhere in the world via the Internet to colleagues and owners. The cost of film, darkrooms and chemicals are eliminated with a PACS system, however, digital exams can still be printed to dry image printers if required.

“As the diagnostic and cost saving advantages of PACS continue to make news in human radiology, the veterinary profession is taking notice that our PACS4VETS can offer the same advantages to the growing veterinary radiology market,” states CoActiv President & CEO, Edward C. Heere. “The improved diagnostic capabilities digital imaging provides, plus the speed and portability of digitized exams, make PACS4VETS ideal for the largest veterinary teaching hospitals, as well as the small local veterinary practices.” CoActiv VP & Director of Development, Roger S. Metz, states, “We sought the input and guidance from some of the industry’s most renowned veterinary radiologists, transferred their specific needs and requirements into functional reality, and developed an entire veterinary PACS product line able to be offered at an extremely competitive price.”

About CoActiv

CoActiv Medical Business Solutions, a digital imaging solution provider headquartered in Ridgefield, CT, provides a complete line of PACS, tele-radiology and DICOM utilities and services. Through their PACS4VETS , CoActiv provides an affordable but powerful PACS to the veterinary field, easily scalable from small single sites to enterprise installations.

CoActiv, founded in 2002 by the management of its parent company, AMSYS Inc., is backed by nearly twenty years of broad corporate experience in healthcare IT solutions.

Artists

I Love Vinyl

Founded in the Summer of 2009, and without a doubt one of the best underground parties in the heart of gotham, Wax Poetics magazine, Halcyon, Raw Fusion, Great Weekend, and Fusicology, present this monthly all-vinyl oasis, featuring a dream team of resident romantics. Sharing deck duties are (six!) resident djs Amir (bbe), one half of the internationally known rare-record collector and mixtape duo, Kon & Amir; prolific beatsmith Ge-Ology (Female Fun), boasting remix credits from Pete Rock to PPP; The Twilite Tone (Great Weekend), both a key player in the seminal 90′s Chicago house scene, and long-time producer and dj for Common; New York veterans OP! and Scribe (Raw Fusion NYC), and Jon Oliver (EVR), the baby of the bunch. The sounds are mind-wide, foot-friendly, and snap crackle popping. Anything is fair game, but you can expect to hear some soul, disco, dilla, boogie, hustle, hip-hop, old-school house, no wave, new jack swing, dancefloor jazz, bossa nova, salsa, funk, electro, and afrobeat. No pretentious bullshit, no dress code (not that you shouldn’t come s*** as h***), no commercial radio c***, and no laptops allowed.

DJ Scribe

Scribe fell in love with music at an early age and never fell out. Inspired by Public Enemy and The Pharcyde (among others), in the golden age of hip-hop, he started collecting records. Hip-hop (along with the dancehall reggae and acid jazz of that time), led him back in time to soul, funk, disco, r&b, roots reggae and jazz, and would later grow into a musical repertoire spanning afrobeat, house, broken-beat, latin, and his beloved 80′s pop childhood roots.

Before he got his first set of 1200s, Scribe taught himself how to mix on live radio at WOBC FM at Oberlin College, where he then began to cut his teeth as a dj at house parties and campus events, eventually opening for A Tribe Called Quest in front of 3,000 people. It was the historic first show on their groundbreaking Low End Theory Tour. Back in NYC after college, Scribe dabbled in hip-hop production under the guidance of Russell Simmons’ RUSH Producers Management, and deejayed part-time, opening major concerts for A Tribe Called Quest again, and Digable Planets.

Fast forward to present and DJ Scribe has been spinning full-time since 2002. In that time, he has developed numerous notable and acclaimed residencies in NYC: Love Revolution at Joe’s Pub, a freeform soul night that often featured Tortured Soul playing live, and guest djs such as E-Man, Carol C. of Si*Sé, Will “Quantic” Holland, Qool DJ Marv, and Ian Friday; Tag, in partnership with Wax Poetics Magazine, whose unique format featured Scribe alternating every other record all night with such legends as Yam Who?, Kool DJ Red Alert, Justin Strauss, Jazzy Nice, Prince Language and Rich Medina; Stone Soup in conjunction with BBE Records; Soulnado, at the world-famous Knitting Factory, a joint effort with DJ Busquelo, fusing the headsnapping broken beat drum tracks of London’s underground CO-OP scene with classic dancefloor jazz (another UK staple) played live and fully improvised by rotating top-notch instrumentalists; and one of the most respected parties at Miami’s annual Winter Music Conference since 2006: the Raw Fusion Miami party, which has featured the best of the best djs, Spinna, Karizma, Simbad, Daz-I-Kue, Benji B, Phil Asher, Mad Mats, Freddie Cruger aka Red Astaire, Karl Injex, and many more. Raw Fusion is a 12-years-running party in Stockholm, Sweden, founded by Mad Mats. In 2008, Scribe, with partner OP!, founded a series of Raw Fusion NYC parties at one of NYC’s top dj venues, APT, which featured guest djs such as Simbad, Daz, 7 Samurai, Probe DMS, and live performances by Muhsinah, Kissey Asplund, Taylor McFerrin, TK Wonder, Zaki Ibrahim, Stephanie McKay, Daru, Erik Rico, Cecilia Stalin, and Ivana Santilli.

In May 2009, Scribe founded I Love Vinyl, featuring the “Dream Team”, six resident djs playing every party together. Ge-Ology, OP!, The Twilite Tone, Amir, Jon Oliver, and himself. The first party, at Le Poisson Rouge’s Gallery Bar, was packed and jumping, and they have been ever since. In conjunction with the party, Scribe started a vinyl appreciation page on Facebook which attracted 10,000 fans in 10 days (now nearing 25K+). In March 2010, I Love Vinyl: On the B-Side, the Brooklyn arm of the party, debuted at the fantastic green venue Brooklyn Bowl. A few months later, the I Love Vinyl Dream Team made an even bigger Brooklyn Debut, at the season opener of Prospect Park’s Celebrate Brooklyn free summer concert series, where they headlined a gala afterparty for the Norah Jones concert.

In addition to creating his own parties, Scribe has shared the marquee at live music venues like the Highline Ballroom, Le Poisson Rouge, SOB’s and Joe’s Pub with Little Dragon, Antibalas, Chin Chin, Roy Ayers, Me’Shell Ndegeocello, Omar, Dwele, Les Nubians, Stephanie McKay, Floetry, Alice Smith, and others; moved the crowd all over Western and Eastern Europe; and traveled extensively within the US and Canada, including multiple appearances at the annual Candela Art and Music Festival in Puerto Rico, Miami’s Winter Music Conference, and the Detroit Electronic Music Festival.

Scribe has also done extensive studio work with DJ Spinna, including mixing remixes he did for Michael Jackson and Shaun Escoffery, and The Beyond Real Experience Vol.2 album for Spinna’s Beyond Real label; as well as producing and mixing much of Tortured Soul frontman Christian Urich’s soul project Cooly’s Hot Box’s album Take It, on Dome records, including the UK classic “Make Me Happy”.

DJ Scribe spins dynamic sets from the heart, ranging from deep soul to dancefloor killers, acoustic jazz to glitch-hop and techno. But a list of genres can’t accurately describe his style, because for Scribe it’s all about the right feeling. And that’s exactly what it is, the right feeling. Coming to a dancefloor near you.

Q and A with I Love Vinyl Party founder, DJ Scribe

Amir

Like legendary treasure-hunters, Amir has spent the past twenty-five years excavating record bins finding gems to pierce ears with. Fortunately, everyone gets to share in the riches of his labor; Long forgotten musicians are now getting their proper dues and appreciative audiences are being turned on to some amazing music.

Since first putting it down with partner Kon in 1997, Amir has co-released a total of eight albums; six On Track installments of critical acclaim, another album called The Cleaning, and most recently, an album appropriately titled, The Kings of Diggin’ along with DJ Muro from Japan.

Because of his status as an A-List DJ, it’s hard to imagine a time when Amir lacked the authority to choose what music he wanted to listen to. As the youngest in his family, Amir didn’t get to decide on what music the family listened to on the weekends. He begrudgingly absorbed his father’s jazz collection, his mother’s gospel and his older siblings’ disco. It wasn’t until he was old enough to listen to the music of his choice, hip- hop, that he fully appreciated the soundtrack of his youth. In early Run-DMC and The Treacherous Three songs he recognized many of the samples used on the beats from his family’s music library. When he heard samples he couldn’t identify, he would investigate until he found the original source. This came to be his passion; to map the sonic lineage of hip-hop.

Thousands of hours, dollars, and record stores later, Kon & Amir are ready to bring five more expertly compiled double-albums to the forefront for us to enjoy. They have managed to salvage some of the greatest music you’ve never heard. Audiences who are tired of being force fed sub par music will thank them for providing an alternative. As Amir puts it, “We made this for the neglected audience, for people who are looking for mature music. Simply put, these treasures are food for the soul.”

The Twilite Tone

Anthony Khan aka The Twilite Tone has been electrifying dancefloors since the early 90′s in Chicago where he walked the well-defined lines between House Music and Hip Hop. Khan’s first release was the house 12-inch single “Under the Cherry Tree” b/w “Just Like Heaven” under the name 3:26 (taken from the alias and address of the legendary club The Music Box in Chicago). He is credited with bringing a wide variety of music, including Hip Hop, to the mainstream Chicago club scene, which was dominated by House and Techno. Also known as Ynot, he produced and performed on Common’s first three albums, including the classic “Resurrection” LP.

In 2005, Khan and friend Lee Douglas (Rong Music) teamed up under the moniker Great Weekend to produce the critically acclaimed “How Do You Feel” single which was featured on the BBE release “Prince Language presents Real Music For Real People”.

In 2008, Khan relocated to New York where he hosted his Great Weekend event at the now defunct APT in the meatpacking district of Manhattan on a monthly basis. In 2009, he joined forces with DJ Duane (Other Music/Bimmark/NegroClash) to produce Tha Get Up Great Weekend event every first Friday at APT. In addition, Khan was a founding weekly resident at the Mister Saturday Night party at Santos Party House.

OP!

OP! has joined the ranks of the respected cadre of tastemakers and bootyshakers in the New York underground scene. Homegrown in Brooklyn, his path began there, but along the way has taken him halfway around the globe, from the US to Africa, and back again.

Growing up in the golden age of hip-hop, OP! first caught the dj bug from listening to Kool DJ Red Alert and Marley Marl on the radio, and dj battles on Ralph McDaniels’ seminal pre-MTV Video Music Box (little did he know that he would soon be working in both radio and television himself). In high school, a friend of a friend, a dj at a local college, took him under his wing, and soon OP! was djing on that college’s radio station… while still in high school. He went on to become the Hip-Hop Music Director there, and a major musical force on the campus.

After college, honored with a Watson Foundation Fellowship to research hip-hop and radio in South Africa, an opportunity to work at the first, and newly formed, commercial youth-oriented radio station there arose, and soon OP! was on a (long) flight to Johannesburg. YFM 99.2 exploded onto the scene (the station has well over 3 million listeners now) with OP! (formerly know as Absolut) eventually working on three ongoing shows, including his own mixshow, one of the first hip-hop mixshows in South Africa. After two years, having become a well-known and respected hip-hop dj there, OP! came home to Brooklyn.

He spent the next years cutting his teeth in the industry at TVT, 88 Hip Hop, and then Sub Verse, where he played a central role in the then emerging solo career of MF Doom, overseeing the re-release of KMD‘s shelved sophomore album, Black b*******, and Doom’s groundbreaking first solo effort, Operation Doomsday.

With his feet firmly planted in the industry, OP! turned his attention back to the turntables. This move has seen OP! spinning at such notable events as Rich Medina’s Connect the Dots Loft Party, the RMFRP event at WMC 2005 in Miami, the RMFRP event in NYC, the Black August Building Sessions, and the Escape 2 Brooklyn parties.

And on the live side, OP! has shared the stage with legends like The Roots, De La Soul, Poor Righteous Teachers, Executioners, and Hieroglyphics, and future legends from Alice Smith to Tortured Soul.

Jon Oliver

Jon Oliver is a true DJ commando. His resume counts over 35 venues played just in the 5 boroughs and good deal more sprinkled across the globe from Houston and LA to Sweden and Estonia. On his spare time he hosts a weekly show on eastvillageradio.com and blogs tales from the trenches at jonolivermusic.com.

Ge-Ology

Poised for a decisive coup d’état of the mundane, “G-YOUNG” aka “GE-OLOGY,” drafts plans of global domination through aesthetic means. Declaring all out war on artistic mediocrity, his arsenal of ideas and creative weaponry is a testament of his inventive prowess. With art & music as ammunition, his advance through life’s chess match has him destined for great accomplishment.

Back in the late 80′s under the name “DJ Plainterror”, GE-OLOGY was once the DJ/producer of a four member group “Born Busy” including high school friend, the legendary Tupac Shakur “MC New York”… uniquely cementing him historically as the only producer privileged to record Pac’s very first and earliest recordings. And in the early 90′s he co-founded the infamous “Dooable Arts” with Matt Reid aka “Matt Doo”, through which he first made his mark. Since then he’s become synonymously known for album cover art, T-shirt graphics, magazine illustrations and collaborative mural paintings with his fellow Barnstormers crew (a famed artist collective created by Davd Ellis aka SKWERM), as much as he’s known for producing tracks with the likes of Mos Def, Vinia Mojica, Talib Kweli, Sadat X, Pharoahe Monch, Jem, Mystic or his remixes for Pete Rock & Grand Agent. Boasting international acclaim, one of his most recognized paintings is the Rawkus classic “Body Rock” cover featuring Mos Def, Q-Tip and Tash from Tha Alkaholiks (featured in Andrew Emery’s “The Book of Hip Hop Cover Art” and listed at #3 in “EgoTrip’s Book of Rap List” 25 Great EP, 12″ & CD Single Covers section).

But to truly understand GE-OLOGY, one must not underestimate his influence, depth and versatility. Embracing the sacred principles and wisdom of great masters yet challenging convention with youthful rebellion, GE-OLOGY’s instinctual balance is somewhat of an anomaly in today’s clone driven mass-produced digitized society. His recognizable identity through sound, vision and consistency hasn’t gone unnoticed, thus resulting in a steady stream of exposure in numerous magazines such as XLR8R, The Fader, Frank 151, Style and Urb; cable network staple MTV News “You Hear It First”; and creative involvement in projects with international corporate giants such as Sweden’s Hennes & Mauritz (H&M stores) and the prestigious French cognac maker Hennessy. Though creatively venturing from the street level to infiltrating the creative commercial world, GE-OLOGY has never wavered from keeping his craft responsibly honest to the delight of longtime supporters… always maintaining his creative integrity. As evident in the barrage of fan mail from his international core audience, GE-OLOGY continues to open eyes… and this is only the beginning.

More exclusively, the GE-OLOGY name is somewhat of a boutique brand equally respected in music and visual art. He was chosen from a handful of artist/celebrities to individually hand paint sneakers for a private New York exhibition launching the widely displayed K-Swiss campaign. He’s one of seven artists chosen to collectively paint outdoor murals and model for the Barnstormers featured H&M advertising blitz. Painting duties for the collective included: a house in the Pasadena hills, a floating midsize boat, a car, canvases, skateboards, a performance stage, etc. Further recognition of his talent lead to expand the campaign’s concept to include a 6-song GE-OLOGY music sampler (H&M presents GE-OLOGY, “Nomadic Disorientation”) in conjunction with the H&M/Barnstormer print ads. All of which were launched by a media-frenzied SoHo gallery opening and month long exhibition, “Billboards”, in which he and many other recognized artists collaboratively resurfaced two 50 ft. life-size billboard reproductions from earlier Barnstormer painted barns and a full-size 18 wheeler truck. The exhibition served as a fundraiser for the non-profit youth organization “Art Start” and gave the artists a unique opportunity to interact and paint with the kids, who collaborated on some of the gallery paintings as well. In addition, H&M’s website featured 3 looped GE-OLOGY instrumentals, 2 video trailers scored with his music and a page featuring him and each of the six other Barnstormer artists from the campaign. Currently, he’s on the verge of setting up his first international solo art show, releasing his first full-length LP, a coffee table art book, a mix CD and working with a collage of artists and sound palettes that span the spectrum beyond categorized limitations. Redefining sound and space, contrast, hue and texture… that is GE-OLOGY… complex, simplistic, versatile, intricate.
