  Different Strokes for Different Folks? - CME Teaching Brief® - MedPage Today
Strokes in the left side of the brain tend to affect language and dominant-hand function, but right-hemisphere events are more likely to cause confusion and motion problems, which could be mistaken for other disorders.
Left-side strokes were recorded more frequently among patients with a diagnosis of transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke, but the rate of intracerebral hemorrhages, which tend to cause more serious symptoms, was evenly divided between left and right hemispheres.
The difference in admission rates between patients with left and right hemispheric strokes grew larger with patient age, but the gap narrowed as the severity of symptoms and interval between symptom onset and admission time increased.

Mere seconds after he says "A lot of pioneers don't see the dollars they were promised," he insists that he isn't claiming Daniel Boone status for the Strokes, and he declines to take credit for boosting the career of anyone who followed in their wake.
So would the opportunity for the Strokes to be judged solely on the basis of their music -- but no such luck.
To complicate matters further, the tone of some notices implies that scribes are more interested in the Strokes' role as harbingers of a musical era than they are in the combo's continuing existence.

That's not a bad adjective, considering that rowers are a different sports species than their landlocked varsity counterparts.
One rows on the machine as one rows a shell, but rather than having a uniform resistance against the sweep of the oar as in other rowing machines, the genius of the ergometer is that it harnesses the stroke to spin a massive steel flywheel.

 "Diff'rent Strokes" (1978)
He was one of the reasons why Diff'rent Strokes was such a huge success story, as Coleman's comic timing was almost spot-on and the cutesy factor that accompanies his cheeky and somewhat mischievous persona as Arnold was a huge incentive on his part.
The concept was original and addressed the issue of child adoption in a straight-to-the-point manner but at the same time combine laughs with clean cut jokes, good gags and great humour.
All in all though, this was a great little sitcom, starring a little guy with a big heart played by Coleman which was destined to be a big hit, which it was and one that capture millions of audiences hearts, worldwide.

Woodstock receives seven strokes, the number of strokes represented by the difference in their Course Handicaps; he takes them on the seven lowest handicap holes designated on the scorecard.
Four-ball stroke play, where two competitors play as partners and their lower score is that side's score for the hole: men receive 90% of their Course Handicaps; women get 95% of their Course Handicaps.
Regardless of what form of play is used, if players are competing from different tees or men and women are competing from the same tees, the player with the higher Course Rating receives additional strokes equal to the rounded difference between the Course Ratings after the handicap allowances are determined for the appropriate format.

Then again, for The Strokes session, as time was of the essence because we had three songs to finish in three days, I didn't want to fuss around and neither did they.
The Strokes had already announced to me that they wanted to take what was happening in music and go in a completely different direction, doing something that wouldn't sound like it was made today.
On the EP, two of the tracks have live vocals, whereas on the album he knew from the beginning that he wanted to be in the control room with me while they were tracking, just concentrating on that and leaving the vocals for later.

Here, we see celebrations of the primal urge-to-touch crystallized in graphic space, with the implication that these strokes have something to do with a pre-visual sense of tactility that is at the core of emotional life.
But there is more color still behind the resin, albeit of a very different kind made up of smooth gradations of cooler, darker hues that suggest amorphous atmospheres receding into a deeper, seemingly infinite space.
Such prints were nowhere in evidence in this recent exhibition, which was made up of large and brightly-colored collages/paintings that feature the careful geometric deployment of elegant shapes of carefully cut-up computer printer output that seemed to have been specifically developed for the purpose at hand.

 The Bravery: self-titled - PopMatters Music Review
Their debut, however, has surprised me. While the Bravery are certainly not in league with the Strokes, Interpol, or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, this record is a strong one with some unexpected surprises.
To compare the Bravery to the Strokes is a bit unfair, since their only real similarity is that they are both over-hyped New York City bands.
While the Strokes' sound was culled from 1970s garage and punk rock, the Bravery, like the Killers, sound a bit like Duran Duran or Depeche Mode shot through with a dose of alternative attitude.

 Various Artists: Different Strokes By Different Folks - PopMatters Music Review
None of this is to suggest that Sly and the Family Stone do not deserve a tribute record - indeed, it’s hard to think of a tribute that’s enough.
To be fair, “Different Strokes,” which has been hung up in production for forever, takes a relatively novel approach to the tribute idea.
Taken on its own, “Strokes” isn’t a bad bad disc, but unlike most of what Sly recorded, it’s entirely without cause or reason, and in most cases, it’ll have trouble even getting people to look up from their laptops and New York Timeses.

Anne Midgette of the NY Times had an interesting article sometime in the last couple of months about what an enormous difference is made by where one sits in the hall.
We can't really begin to assess the differences if we're so obsessed with proving that one way is right and the other is wrong.
It does take the ability to be able to look at things from different perspectives, as well as the inner security and human generosity, as well as the metaphysical/epistimological awareness and inclination, to grant the validity of multiple points of view.

 Different Strokes - www.smh.com.au
The sound on the Strokes' second album is once again as thin as a Greenwich Village hotel wall: all exposed nerve endings, papered drums and trebly as all get out.
Yet the keyboards and bass are more prominent and the songs don't trail off but snap shut at the end.
Yet now it comes with the added gristle of a couple of years being public whipping boys, so lines such as "I never needed anybody" in Between Love and Hate and the album's opening couplet of "I want to be forgotten/I don't want to be reminded" come loaded with implication.
