A GOP-affiliated group called Latinos for Reform has produced a national television ad to air in targeted states, including in Nevada, telling Latinos not to vote. "Yes, you heard right," the voiceover goes in Spanish. "Don't vote."
There are Spanish and English versions of the ad, which makes the bizarre argument that not voting is the only way for Latinos disappointed by a lack of progress on immigration reform to "send a clear message" to politicians. "If they haven't done anything for immigrants on two years, they shouldn't count on our vote," the Spanish voiceover goes. And this should include those who have pushed immigration reform measures? According to the logic here, yes, you heard right.
The ad has angered groups who are trying to get Latino voters out to the polls, including the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO), whose executive director Arturo Vargas denounced it on Twitter this morning.
Latinos for Reform has been around a while, and has produced similarly out-there television ads before. In 2008, the group aired a Spanish-language ad alleging that Barack Obama put the interests of African Americans before those of Latinos, and supported trade with Africa before trade with Latin America.
From a transcript of the 2008 Latinos for Reform ad that ran with a story on NPR:
Barack Obama a friend of the Latino community? The record demonstrates the opposite. Did you know that after the 2000 census that showed a tremendous growth of Latinos in Chicago, Obama told reporters in Chicago that while everyone agrees that the Hispanic population has grown, they cannot expand by taking power from the African-American community. You heard right...but there's more. Did you know that Obama has never hired a Latino to a senior position in his office throughout his legislative career? Did you know that Obama has opposed trade with Mexico, Central America and Colombia, yet supports free trade with Africa?
The group's chairman is Robert Deposada, identified in the NPR story as a former director of Hispanic affairs for the Republican National Committee who also served in the leadership of the Hispanic Business Roundtable and the conservative Latino Coalition, and was appointed by George Bush in 2001 to a commission to advance the privatization of Social Security.
Below is a version of the ad in English:

"I got caught in a quango once. Terrible business"
Yes, Administrator is a long running satirical British e-politics show, that was first transmitted by UBC TV, radio, email and text message in 2003, running up to 2005. It was then succeded by the equally long running Yes, Bureaucrat, which continues to run up to the present day. All episodes last for half an hour each, except for the annual christmas specials, totalling 198 episodes.
Set in the harsh politcal enviroment of the Internet, the Series revolves around the tormentuous lives of three characters on the Administrative Affairs wikia: James (Jimmy) H4xorz, a registered user often trying to bring unusal and bright ideas to the wikia, (Sir) Humble Pie, an administrator on the Wiki, who blocks most attempts by JH to get anything done by reverting, blocking or deleting anything he considers upsetting to the status quo and Bernardo W00ly, a more amicable administrator who often finds himself torn between obeying his more senior colleague Humble Pie, who has his ear in the stewards' office, and assisting his friend Jimmy.
The original series, although relatively popular with the masses, has met little critical success, having recieved a paltry 8 LAFTA awards. This is most probably due to the fact that it violently attacks in its satire its target audience. It became even less popular when incumbent British Prime Administrator, Tony Blair, announced that it was his favourite program. As a consequence, the producers threatened to melt their LAFTA trophies, declaring "they're not worth the gold they're hand-crafted from!". This thinly veiled publicy stunt brought about the end of the first series. Ironically, this brought about the much more popular Yes, Bureaucrat series. The reason that the second series is more popular is heatedly debated amongst pundits, although it may be down to the naked dancing girls in the opening credits. All though a rampant urban legend, the phrase "Yes, Administrator" does not feature once in any episodes.
Through out all the episodes, the main theme is the struggle between the establishment and the new-comer, portrayed well as the clash in forums, discussion pages, user spaces and even the Administrative Affairs Wikia IRC chat room between Jimmy H4xorz and (Sir) Humble Pie. Jimmy is a mere registered user, with big ideas, whilst Humble Pie is a senior administrator on the wikia, with years of experience. Bernardo W00ly, an junior administrator, comparatively inexperienced to Humble Pie, is originally dispatched to welcome Jimmy, and ends up becoming a good friend of his. Throughout the series, Bernardo has to mediate between the two parties and ultimately strikes the balance; deciding in the outcome of each episode.
A frequent contrast between the two parties is the differing ideals and self-interested motivations. Jimmy approaches any issue from a sense of idealism and a desire to make things for the better, although ultimately he sees public confidence, popularity and recognition as his ultimate goal. One episode in particular sees Jimmy's arm twisted by Humble Pie by the offering of the User of the Month award to him. In order to achieve his objectives, he must appear as effective and responsive to trends and fashions. On the other hand, Humble Pie takes the opinion that it is the Administrators' CABAL that knows what is best for the wikia; this normally boils down to what is best for the CABAL. Humble Pie strives to maintain the position he and a privileged few enjoy.
Therefore, Jimmy feels he is tasked with the breaking down and reformation of the CABAL and Wikia, respectively, attempting to reduce bureaucracy and increasing efficiency. If he can pull this off, he will look better in front of his peers, and could be recognised as a powerful member of the community. Humble Pie, henceforth, tries to keep this publicity driven campaign as far under wraps as possible, so as to eliminate all accountability from the governance of the wikia, and to ensure the luxuries of the CABAL are not only retained but expanded.
Most of the humour found in the show (which is mainly scarce) comes from the arrising situation: The Users believe they live in a stable democracy, whilst the CABAL really runs the show. More often than not, Jimmy's 'public' announcements are wiped off the face of the wikia, never to be seen again, and Jimmy is often incarcerated in the editing Gulag for "unsound" comments.
Bernardo initially believes that he should assist Jimmy, although as his antics become more out of hand, he feels vulnerable to Humble Pie's iron fist.
Occasionally, we see Humble Pie's home life interrupt his frantic work schedule, often used to comic effect. For example, at the crucial moment when Humble Pie is about to block Jimmy for yet another "unsound" edit, his wife rings up to ask about dinner tonight - in the time it takes to book a table for two, sort out the Lobster Thermadore and find that expensive cava on the wine list, Jimmy has gotten the word out about the CABAL's latest plot. Ironically, neither Humble Pie's wife or daughter agree with his politics, often being sarcastic about his current designs. In one episode, his daughter organises a series of vandal attacks using anon IPs from Humble Pie's own home - causing much embarrassment when the checkuser results were leaked.
Humble Pie often will use long, complicated and dreary sentences, entirely unfitting with his surroundings, usually with the most cynical opinions possible. Jimmy on the contrary, tends to go on with page long speeches (or rants, depending on your POV), whilst Bernardo is quiet and succinct.
Example Quotes[edit]
From the #Administrative_Affairs IRC Channel:
<Humble_Pie> Well it was a conversation to the effect that, in view of the somewhat nebulous and inexplicit nature of your remit, and the arguably marginal and peripheral nature of your influence on the central deliberations and decisions within the political process, there could be a case for restructuring their action priorities in such a way as to eliminate your liquidation from their immediate agenda.
<Jimmy_H4xorz> They said that?
<Humble_Pie> Well, that was the gist of it.
<Jimmy_H4xorz> Tiny mistake? 75,000 pounds wasted on unnecessary equipment! Give me an example of a big mistake." <Humble_Pie> Letting people find out about it.
The Creators placed H4xorz at the centre of the political compass, so he was not associated with any elements of the West or East parties. Nor does H4xorz show any northerly leanings, although towards the end of the second series, a sharp area of high pressure sends H4xorz displaying distinctly southerly political views. This all clears up with a sharp breeze in the afternoon anyway.
The series is clearly intended to poke fun at policies and guidelines in general, and care is taken to avoid mentioning any rule in particular. However, one notable exception is when Humble Pie explains to Bernardo in private about the retainment of the Ignore all rules policy, where he uses differing arguments respective to the mood of CABAL.
In spite of all this, the overall thrust of the episodes was in an anarchist direction, and throughout the series this worsens. The picture is painted to often show H4xorz being on the moral high ground overall, but often his antics are portrayed as questionable.
In typical Trollopian Style, certain minor, puny and unimportant characters are supposedly drawn from identifiable real world users, although this is controversial.
The original episode was produced earlier than 2003, but was released later for fear of influencing the Wikimedia Board of Trustees Election.
At this moment in the time 198 episodes have been produced, all lasting 30 minutes (in audio form) except for the annual Christmas specials, broadcasted around the easter period, which last approximately 1 hour. The episodes themselves were originally conceived to be presented in an innovative style, mimicking the format of forums and discussion pages on the internet, however, due to a lack of ratings, it was decided that a more conservative style was required. Consequently, an audio form was produced, and the show was released as a radio play. The second format, as hoped, proved to be more popular.
Yes, Administrator ran for exactly 100 episodes, crammed into one compact series. After the Christmas 2005 special, entitled "The People's Party", the series ended. A second series, called Yes, Bureaucrat immediately picked up from where the previous series ended, the only real difference being that, through a remarkable oversight, H4xorz has been promoted to an administrator, whilst Humble Pie is now a bureaucrat.
Sample Episode[edit]
One particularly notable episode, entitled "A Musical Conundrum" surrounds the issue over the article feature process. As it December 2, Humble Pie's birthday, he decides, perhaps rather egoistically, that he will circumvent the system and place an article of his liking as the featured article. Instead of the (seemingly mundane) topic of "Pig Farming in Western Germany, and how it affects us", featuring in its place the article "Referential Promotional Marketing Systems in the Musical Industry". The latter was viewed to be of inferior quality, and had previously failed to gain community approval. The subsequent outrage convinced Jimmy H4xorz that this was a matter of serious public concern, and as a consequence, wasted time rallying for a pointless and insignificant cause, earning him both fame and the permanent mis-trust of the CABAL.
Minor Characters[edit]
As with any dramatic production, the cast also featured a number of recurring characters, mainly from the CABAL. These included Mescaline, the CABAL Recruitment officer, Visitor, the CABALITERN Chairman, responsible for the expansion of the CABAL into other wikias and The Czar, in charge of The Department of Misinformation.
Due its particularly scathing satire, the series received little or no critical support, and out of spite, the series was only awarded 8 LAFTA awards, despite being a British production with an extremely large and unaudited expenses account.
Yes, Administrator had very little impact as no-one really listened to it, despite what this article purports to the contrary. However, it was enough to get the UBC to release the entire series onto CDs, and publish the scripts.

Friday June 24, on the Main House Earthship Build:
Here is a series of Photos selected over the course of the 5 week Earthship Build with Michael Reynolds, on the West Coast of BC. These photos show some of the Finished Details of the Main House Earthship that was part of the two Earthships built on one site. Check out 'Time Lapse of the Main House Eartship', 'Photos of the Finished Smaller Studio Earthship', and 'Time Lapse of the Earthship Build' for more details of this Gulf Island build. Note: this is NOT our house, but a build we participated in.
A Rock Retaining Wall (left) helps keep the Earth Berm behind the Earthship Roof Line from Eroding until Grass and Vegetation has had a chance to grow in. The Earth Berm reaches the Roof Line (right), covering the Water Cisterns. For now Sticks are marking where the Cistern lids are buried below, for maintenance access.
Each Bedroom in the Earthship has a Walk Around Open Closet to allow in maximum Natural Light in the U-Shaped room.
Here is a Walk-Through view starting at the left side of the Walk Around Closet.
A simple Shelf is on the back wall, and includes a Clothes Hanger Rod…
… while the Open Box Closet also has a shelf and clothes hanging rod.
Detail of the back wall shelf and it's finished corner (left). Close up of the Screened Vent Box (right) covering the Cooling Tube that extends back 40 feet through the Earth Berm behind the Earthship.
View from the Bedroom, looking out past the Greenhouse Hallway, and through the exterior front Windows of the Earthship.
The finished cement floors are still wet after clean-up, as I photograph the finished Kitchen.
Just between the Kitchen cabinet housing the Sink, and the vertical glass to the Greenhouse Hallway (left), is the Floor Planter for the first pass of Greywater from the Kitchen sink. The fresh Sprouts were grown in the last few weeks by Volunteer Interns while on the build. You can barely see the space for the floor planter behind the Kitchen cabinet housing the sink while standing in the middle of the main room (right).
In the Greenhouse Hallway, directly outside the Kitchen, is the Particulate Filter, shown here with the lid closed.
Here is the Particulate Filter with the lid open, allowing easy access to clean any particles from food or hair too large for the Greywater system.
Here is one of the Floor Planter Boxes (left), part of the Greywater system, inside the Greenhouse Hallway, without any plants yet. Directly above (right), the Operable Vent Box on the roof is open for maximum air flow from the Greenhouse Hallway.
Here is another Operable Vent Window. This is one of several that are part of the front exterior glass wall facing South for maximum exposure to the Sun. These large windows have screens that slide up for easy egress in an Emergency, or simply large items that need to be passed in or out of the Greenhouse Hallway. It certainly makes getting rid of Planter weeds easier by simply chucking them out of the front window!
Standing in the Greenhouse Hallway, and facing the West entrance (left), you can see the finished Bottle Wall, with the Brown Coat Plaster of the wall below. The finished detail of the corner (right), includes a Brown Coat Plaster Wall, and wooden planks in the Ceiling. You can just see part of the window into one of the Bedrooms.
Walking through the West Wing Airlock (left), we can now step out onto the finished cement floor and landscaping. Everything is sloped away from the Earthship exterior, to allow good Drainage away from the house.
Looking back towards the doorway, we can see the levels in the cement floor pours.
Here we are looking at the East Entrance to the Earthship, with the finished Can Wall.

Game Dreams
The dreams stuff are made from.
I realize this may be a bit off topic from the article, but since you did mention it I have to ask. Can what we eat really affect our dreams? (You mentioned them being the result of a bad taco) The fact that indigestion could affect my sleep isn't to hard for me to grasp, but I don't see how it could manifest itself in dreams; affecting my subconscious directly instead of merely waking me from my sleep.
Interesting article. Games already are, in a sense, dreams. Out of body experiences where we exist in a different time and place, and often don't necessarily exist as we do in the real world. Beyond that, of course, is the fact that we can actually control games but must do it under the rules set out by an often invisible and unassailable force. Lots of parallels there so it's easy to understand why they would bleed into one another so easily.
It's called REM sleep that you can control your dreams sub-unsubconsicously (or something) but I do know that it takes practice.
Sometimes a new game or one I haven't played in ages dominates my mind for a night and makes me unable to sleep, my thoughts entragnled by the mechanics or mistakes I made. Such was the case of my first time playing Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2, Battlefield Heroes, Blazing Angels 2, KoTOR and my revisit and first time to Star Wars Battlefront.
No REM stands for "Rapid Eye Movement" and is a stage of sleep. Lucid dreams are dreams your have conscious control over. It's supposed to be possible, but i can't say i've done it myself.
Another great article. Interesting for me that it came up today, too, because last night I had a dream that Tails had found his father... and it was Anderson Cooper.
I don't want to know what that may mean.
If there is a game I am playing constantly, I end up thinking about it when I am not playing it and it can affect my dreams!
It's not just games.
Ask anyone whose worked in retail over Christmas. You serve in your sleep.
In fact, I'd be willing to bet that Yahtzee criticises in his sleep as well. ;)
"sometimes a cigar is just a cigar".
damn dreams and their ability to torture us, the question "why" is never easy. :(
So me actually facing a giant Super Monster in my dreams, holding a gattling gun and V.A.T.S. blasting away his flesh actually has meaning?
So do I always face impossible odds with such bravery without flinching? Really? Awesome.
I took a break from certain games when I would look around and see polygons and texture layers in everyday things. Particularly natural things for some reason, like leaves, clouds and the clear sky was an easy one because it pretty much always looks like a digital gradient to me.
No REM stands for "Rapid Eye Movement" and is a stage of sleep. Lucid dreams are dreams your have conscious control over. It's supposed to be possible, but i can't say i've done it myself.[/quote]
No, I've had lucid dreams before. All it takes is practice. Not that I'm claiming to be some monk or something, I just got bored and over months of what I call "practice" I was able to notice when I was dreaming and then control things while still asleep. The bad thing is that you walk a fine line between being cognizant that you are dreaming and waking up, which means that if you try to control too much of the dream your focus will actually wake you from the dream.
I'm basically going to go out on a limb and from my own experience say that eating a food that may disagree with your digestive system may cause you discomfort that will manifest itself in your subconscious by creating uncomfortable dreams or nightmares.
Those are the worst! I still twitch when I think about it...AAAUUGHH...sorry flashback.
When I was playing Dead Rising a few years ago I dreamed I was throwing plates at zombies. I took that dream to mean it was time to lend the game to a friend.
I think generally dreams have no actual meaning(its what my psychology professor says and he'd be one to know)... but I've noticed that what is forefront in my mind is occasionally featured in my dreams.
On the topic of food: I've noticed that when my sleep is less deep, I tend to dream more/remember my dreams better; So I would suggest that having food that didn't agree with you could cause your sleep to be less deep, potentially making your dreams more vivid or memorable; I dunno about it affecting the actual content though.
Since "dreams" and "sleep" in general is the one big mystery i haven't solved yet, i don't really have a clear cut statement ready about their "meaning" - but what i do know yet, plus some logics, lets me say what i currently consider "probable":
My impression about dreams is - to put it simple - that they result from things that are on our mind, plus some ridiculous randomness. The "interpretation" usually happens after the puzzle pieces are already on the table. What i mean with this, is that i noticed, that in my and others dreams (dream logs), when a new "scene" is created, the scene usually is there first, and THEN the dreamer tries to make sense of it (and while doing so, adjusting it, and adding more things).
So, what does that tell about the "meaning of dreams"? That they are probably just that: Stuff that we think about, plus randomness (including random old memories), plus creative interpretation. The results do obviously tell us something about ourselves. After all, if you dream often about something, then it apparently is someway important to you. Or if you randomly embed an old memory, then you apparently still remember it (else, it couldn't be part of the dream). Etc. etc.
The key aspect which i'm trying to explain here is: Dreams are not some "prophecy" or "judgement" created by some "god", who makes a statement about us. When people talk about the meaning of dreams, they often talk about it, as if it were some judgement made by SOMEONE/SOMETHING ELSE. Crap like "if you dream xyz, then this always symbolizes abc." - as if there were some cosmic being, that sends us secret messages, but encrypted of course because that being is a meanie. That's not what dreams are.
Rather, what i'm trying to explain, is something much more mundane: When you think about something, then you obviously think about it :) Same for feelings: If you feel some way about something, then you apparently are capable of feeling that way about it :) So, i think a better way to deal with dreams, is to not treat them like something else, but instead treat them as how you experienced them.
Like, you watch a movie, and at some point feel a certain way - and then afterwards wonder why you felt that way? Same thing. The only things "special" to dreams, is the increased randomness, and that infobits may be used, that aren't right now important to you anymore - those aspects may be confusing.
P.S.: Another thing that may be confusing about dreams, is that you may be thinking, imaginating or saying things how you actually mean them, instead of how you learned to interprete them. Let me give you an example: A few weeks ago, i had a dream that ended with me saying a sentence. That sentence began with the words "A highly low...". After i woke up, i at first was amused about what crap i said there - "Highly low" wtf? Contradiction much?
But then after a while, i noticed that someway this wasn't really so dumb. It actually was very clever, because i expressed this part of the sentence, as what it is, rather than "prettyfied": You know, we have this concept of "intensity", and we may say things like "super low" or "very low", etc., but emotionally and structurally, there isn't really much difference between "high" and "very". It's just different words for the same thing, and in everyday sentences, we just routinely arrange those synonyms in a way, so that they won't LOOK contradictory. So, what i in this dream actually meant, was just "very low", but in a moment of honesty, i expressed it as how i actually feel about it: "highly low".
I'm surprised the Tetris effect didn't get a look-in. Probably my favourite gaming-induced psychosis ever.
You sir, made my day. I remember that one fondly. I also have CAD and xkcd bookmarked next to it. Thanks for finding that one for me!
I used to be that bad at WoW, still play it on and off but now that I no longer raid it seems to have loosened its grip on me and I no longer think and dream about it. I still dream quite frequently, though it seems to be a much wider variety now.
I always thought that fog was god turning down the draw distance.
I wonder how much lag he gets.
"a client" ??? Isn't he supposed to say "a patient" ?
don't know if im allowed to say this but i send the letter, at the time it was more not being able to hurt another human (no matter how blood splattered and cannibalistic) even if it meant survival. About the part of someone in my life making me feel bad about myself is very true, several people make me feel that way.
Patients are sick people seeing a doctor. Clients are people who have hired someone to do work for them. Both are applicable, and "client" doesn't have the "sick" connotation.
I've been paying attention to my dreams and since there haven't been any real changes to my habits, I've been able to capture a few patterns.
1. Rejection from loved ones.
2. Zombies or conspiracies or madness or otherwise a cause for everybody in the world to be against me.
3. Whatever video game I'd happened to be playing at the time.
You see how the last one doesn't necessarily reflect my state of mind... it's just an unavoidable side-effect of all the video games I play. Zombies in dreams can mean more, seeing as how they are the walking dead/a soulless monster in a human form... but I don't have the credentials to tell you what it means either.The only part I can recognize for sure is helplessness (not making contact with the sledgehammer).
I think it's very normal that you dream about your day. And if you spend so SO much time playing wow, it obviously gets a big part of that subconcious process aswell.
I'm sorry to hear that! :( Isn't there someone you can speak to that can offer you help?
not really since most would laugh at me or say to man up.
"For example, studying for a test is like farming materials for raid flasks--dull and boring, but necessary if you want to succeed."
ugh I see STUDYING...something I need to be doing. sigh...lol and I don't play WoW
I can expect to dream about whatever game I'm into at the moment. I sort of look forward to it, because a usually dream a game better than I can play it. By that, I mean that the dream is better and more involving than the game, and that I am better at it.
While I cannot say I never day dream, I found the account of not being able to apply ones thought to anything else as unfamiliar. Is it just me? Games have never hijacked my thought when doing other things.
"Sometimes a sledgehammer is just a sledgehammer." That will be tickling me for at least the rest of the day! A persistent song or good line is one thing that can hijack my mind, and this may have done that.
That made me laugh.
'I kept swinging my hammer at the zombie, but I just couldn't "hit it".'
I dream rarely, but in the rare case that it happens I usually have some memory afterward of the dream and can tell just what event or experience or whatever from my real life urged the dream to come..(and no, I've never had video game dreams..)
I remember the first time I played Minecraft. I played long into the night, and I remember having the same experience that Dr. Mark describes, Minecraft became the setting for my dream.
It was weird.
Mostly, when I try to interpret my dreams, I try to consider my emotional state during the dream before the content of the dream itself.
I found the bit about relating real life activities to game tasks especially revealing. I came upon doing this myself, relating things like chores to quick grab quests or skill training. It makes me smile just thinking about it, but pretending that I'm my own MMORPG toon helps me get menial work done a lot faster.

Here is the latest cool comic book moment in our year-long look at one cool comic book moment a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
I know I said this would be a three-part look at Mark Waid's Terminal Velocity storyline in Flash, but darnit, three parts is just not enough! So today is now part three of a FOUR part look at Terminal Velocity!
Okay, so Flash #100 (by Mark Waid, with art by Salvador Larocca, Carlos Pacheco and Oscar Jimenez) begins with Kobra's final plan (something about some device that causes an earthquake in Keystone City that will allow him to take over the world or some such result beginning.
Kobra has cut off Keystone from the rest of the world, and Waid and his artists show all the other heroes dealing with the forcefield and also the problems Kobra is starting all over the place (part of his plan is activating a number of sleeper agents).
It was notable because it was one of the few places where Batman's "all black" costume actually looked pretty cool (I liked that look for Batman, but most artists didn't exactly draw it too well)...
In any event, one of the coolest aspects of this story is how Kobra really hates LINDA PARK more than the Flash (or any of Flash's crew). Kobra blames Linda's investigative skills as the reason his plans almost were stopped, and he wants to kill her. That's a nice twist - the love interest in danger, but NOT because of her connection with the star, but for her own actions. Linda, meanwhile, is hunting him down herself because she wants revenge (she's quite tough in this issue).
But Linda is on her own - all the other heroes in Keystone are down for the count (Jay Garrick, Johnny and Jesse Quick and Impulse).
So things look bad.
That leads into the following moment...
What a great return.
The finale tomorrow!

The following describes the privacy policy guidelines for Arrivalist Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "Arrivalist") regarding the collection and use of personal or corporate information that is provided to Arrivalist or collected on Arrivalist's website, arrivalist.com.
This privacy policy was last updated on April 11, 2018. Arrivalist requests that users check this Privacy Policy periodically as it may have changed. The new provisions will be effective as soon as they are posted.
Arrivalist provides marketing services for marketers, including destination marketers like tourism boards and Convention and Visitor's Bureaus and other government-funded or government-related organizations. Our services measure the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns by measuring – in aggregate – which messages are most effective at influencing users to visit their place. This agreement outlines how we collect information, what information we collect and how we use this information on our site, Arrivalist.com, and for Arrivalist's marketing services.
On Arrivalist.com we collect information that helps us analyze the effectiveness of our website and its performance. We may collect and use non-Personally Identifiable Information ("Non-PII") information (such as in aggregate to gauge the effectiveness of our own marketing programs or deliver advertising messages to our site visitors for marketing purposes. We also collect Personally-Identifiable information ("Non-PII") from information entered in to our "Contact Us" form. We only use site visitor's PII to respond to incoming inquiries and let interested parties know about updates to our marketing services. We do not sell or share this information.

Arrivalist marketing services collects information on behalf of its marketing partners, largely comprised of destination marketers. The information that we collect includes Non-PII information related to the user's device's destination (on a city level), which marketing messages the user has been exposed to and subsequent changes in the user's destination on a market – by – market basis. None of the information we collect is personally-identifiable and the destination information that we collect is only the on the city level. (i.e., device 12345 was exposed to Ad 1 and 2 in City A and moved to City B). We may deliver marketing messages, such as banner ads or content, to users who have been exposed to our marketing partner's media in order to serve subsequent marketing messages based on changes in the city that the user's device is in. For these marketing messages, the information the we collect includes Non-PII information such as IP addresses, destination derived from cell towers, information from the destinations of Wifi routers and other means of determining (on a city-wide level) the destination of a computing device.

Eating clean has been a topic just as popular in 2013 as Superfoods, Kendall Jenner in Agua Bendita, and high waisted bikini bottoms. We have been hearing it all over the place as well as seeing those damn hashtags #eatclean #cleaneating on every Instagram photo of a piece of fruit, but what does it all mean? Washing your food really well before consuming? Nope, not even close. We're hear to debunk some clean eating mysteries as well as breakdown a new alternative to the ever-popular diet.
Eating clean involves not only choosing the right foods to eat but also avoiding all of the processed garbage that adorns every grocery aisle shelf. The keys to good health and proper nutrition as far as clean eating is concerning, are as follows:
- Hello whole foods: Whole foods are foods that haven't been messed around with, in the lab or the manufacturing plant. This means = straight from the farm. This includes whole fruits and vegetables, whole grains, grass-fed and free-range meats, low fat dairy products, unsalted nuts, and seeds.
- Peace out processed foods: An easy breakdown to what processed food is….any food that has a label. A label indicates that multiple ingredients were used to make that food. You don't have to eliminate all processed foods (like whole grain pasta or natural cheeses), but if you can't pronounce an ingredient on a label, you better leave that at the store.
- Shed that Sugar: Refined sugar provides nothing good. Calories galore. Other sweeteners can be used, but make sure you're careful with your substitutions. Refined sugar has no place in your diet, so ditch it and ditch it good.
- Eat smaller meals more often: Kick start your metabolism by eating a bunch of smaller meals more frequently. This keeps your body burning calories constantly rather than going into starvation mode for a few hours and then feasting. With this plan, you shouldn't get so extremely hungry that your judgement is impaired and you'll justify scarfing down those stale donuts at work.
- Become a cook: This is very time consuming, but the payoff is huge. Instead of making prepared foods out of a box or frozen container, cook your meals from scratch! Clean, whole foods need minimal preparation beyond the basic cutting and cooking. Cooking your own food is also extremely rewarding and guaranteed to up your cool points.
- Protein & carbs join forces: Whenever you eat a meal, make sure it's balanced. This way you'll be less tempted to binge on those cookies to fulfill any carb cravings. Combine protein and carbs which will fuel your body appropriately and kill those hunger cravings.
With the new year right around the corner, we urge you to ditch the diet fads and jump onto this healthy bandwagon. Try clean eating for 30 days and see just how your body feels and looks. You'll thank us in February.
Hope this helps. Share some more tips below! Happy Clean Eating.

Sophomore EC swimmer, Alex Sobers, had a good second swim on Saturday at the 21st Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia.
Sobers competed in the 100 LCM freestyle, winning his heat and swimming a personal best 51.12 for the event. Sobers finished 29th overall.
The Commonwealth Games have been conducted every four years (except for 1942 and 1946 due to World War II) since 1930. The Commonwealth Games have become a modern sporting spectacular that now includes 71 nations and over 6,000 athletes.
Next up, Sobers competes in the 50 LCM freestyle (Monday, April 9).

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is reportedly trying to secure an endorsement from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) before Super Tuesday.
According to Politico:
In the lead-up to Super Tuesday, Cruz is seeking other ways to reinforce his Southern credentials. In recent weeks, he has been aggressively appealing to Rand Paul for an endorsement. Yet three sources close to the Kentucky senator said Paul had rebuffed Cruz, saying that he had no intention of endorsing anyone anytime soon.

"The Duchess of Beddingfield, milady!"
His sonorous tones were markedly respectful and, as Roxanne rose to greet the visitor, she had a sinking feeling this was Aunt Semphronia, the family tyrant. A statuesque lady attired in sables surged into the room like a galleon in full sail. She flung off her furs, revealing a stout frame encased in purple satin, a massive bosom, and several chins that wobbled as she turned piercing blue eyes upon Roxanne. The clusters of dyed feathers attached to her turban by an enormous diadem proclaimed her penchant for fashion. A large sable muff landed on the floor as the lady tossed it carelessly aside.
"Dear gel!" boomed the matron, much to Roxanne's surprise.

"We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise." (2 Corinthians 10:12 NIV)
It is very interesting that we call competition in the church, "Holy competition." It is exactly what it is, "comparing themselves with themselves." From our text, the Bible calls it an unwise thing to do. Why does this happen? To show that some are better than some. To show that some love God more than some. However, does the one that seems to be winning in the comparison game, really love God more than others? Or have they found a way to gain the recognition they desire.
Take the story of of Ananias and Sapphira for example, in Acts 5. Everybody was giving to help the poor and needy among them, to ensure that none lacked among them. The bible specifically names a man called Joses (Acts 4:36-37), who the apostles named Barnabas, meaning a son of consolation. He had sold his land and brought it to the apostles. The very next chapter opens with Ananias and his wife Sapphira who also sold their possession (a piece of property) and brought the money to the apostles.
They too wanted to be called sons of consolation. However, Joses gave so that others will be blessed (humility) but Ananias and Saphhira gave so that they would be recognized (pride). "[Remember] this: he who sows sparingly and grudgingly will also reap sparingly and grudgingly, and he who sows generously [that blessings may come to someone] will also reap generously and with blessings." (2 Corinthians 9:6 AMP). If you give for others to be blessed, you would give as the Lord puts it in your heart to give. That's an indication of one who humbles himself under the mighty hand of God (1 Peter 5:5-6). The opposite is a prideful heart; one who does not humble himself under the mighty hand of God.
Ananias and Sapphira really could not part with all that money but they wanted the recognition that came with the knowledge that they sold their possession to help the needy. So they lied, bringing only part of the money as all of the money. Why did God strike them down immediately? As an example that pride kills! Every time we make a decision for pride, we die. We let in conditions into our lives that are designed to physically kill. We need to be careful when we give. Be sure you give what you purpose in your heart to give like Paul said in 2 Corinthians 9:7. Don't give because you see someone else giving or because you want some recognition, or because you want God to do something for you, or as penance for your wrong. Give because God lays it in your heart to. Such giving is what the bible calls bountiful giving, giving much or giving so that someone else will be blessed.
Ok, since we are on the subject of giving, I have to write this that has been in my heart to write. Remember the passage on the widow's mite? "Jesus looked up and saw some rich people putting their gifts to God into the Temple collection box. Then he saw a poor widow put two small copper coins into the box. He said, "This poor widow gave only two small coins. But the truth is, she gave more than all those rich people. They have plenty, and they gave only what they did not need. This woman is very poor, but she gave all she had to live on."" (Luke 21:1-4 ERV).
I thought that few meant few and more meant more. If one gives little, he will receive little and if one gives much, he will receive much. "Remember this: The one who plants few seeds will have a small harvest. But the one who plants a lot will have a big harvest." (2 Corinthians 9:6 ERV). But Jesus Christ just pointed out that the widow's little was more than the much the rich men gave. I have heard often concerning the widow's mite that Jesus was watching the amount of money the people were giving. The widow got His praise because she gave all that she had. Therefore, if you give all that you have, you'll get praise from Jesus.
I know many rich people that gave all that they had and didn't have anything to give anymore because they didn't get any praise and reward from Jesus. I know some who gave all they had and are battling with illness that has completely restricted their bodies from allowing them function in the call of God for their lives. So, what's wrong with this understanding?
From my studies, I've come to find out that Jesus wasn't really watching the amount that they were giving, He was watching their hearts. God always looks at the heart. When Moses struck the rock twice instead of speaking to it as God instructed in Numbers 20:11, God saw it as a negative condition of his heart – a lack of trust in Him. The widow gave in humility but the rich men gave in pride. And it was not all the rich men that gave so. Further study will show that it was some of them. God is not really concerned with the amount you give, He is concerned with the heart in which you give it. Those rich men wanted to be seen to give but really didn't want to part with what they had. They wanted the recognition and Jesus saw it.
Jesus said we should not let our right hand know what our left hand is giving (Matthew 6:3). Why? Because when the left hand knows, he wants to outdo the right hand. Competition begins! Pride in action! Paul speaking about the Macedonian church in 2 Corinthians 8 said that they gave out of their deep poverty to the needy in the Jerusalem Church. But they gave with so much joy. In fact, he said they begged him to take their giving. In verse 5 of the same chapter, Paul explains why they were able to give so; because they first dedicated themselves to the Lord and to the gospel of grace they (Paul and his team) brought to them. Surely when we give we receive!
Surely, God will make it up to you by giving you everything you need and more so that there will not only be enough for your own needs but plenty left over to give joyfully to others, but God does not want that (our returns) to be our focus or motive for giving – it's selfish! God wants our motive for giving to be so that someone else will be blessed. When we begin to compare ourselves with others, or allow and join others compare us with others, whether in giving or anything else, we are simply displaying the wisdom of the world, which is from a proud heart. The Bible calls such unwise.
Dear Reader, playing the competition game is too stressful and dangerous for your body. Your body doesn't need this! Value your body enough not to get into it. Remember, God needs your body to fulfill His purpose on the earth. It is the reason why He formed your body in the first place. So, give God that honour of valuing your body and stay away from comparing yourself with others.
I pray that your experience this week will only be that of good, as you humble yourself under the mighty hand of God. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen!! God bless you amazingly this week!

Wonderbra has a reputation for a no nonsense approach when it comes to promoting their products. This times around,Wonderbra pull out another amazing marketing stunt—video after the jump & featuring cautionary tales of public nip-slips. There is no secret that women find it difficult to depend on strapless bra as it's hard for this kind of bra to stay in a place where it should be. Wonderbra claims to have designed the perfect strapless bra.
Accoding to them "nipplegate" can be avoided if the bra is worn. To prove their point, women can test the new bra whilst jumping on trampolines inside their changing rooms.
Due to the beginning of this video is slightly nsfw (not safe for work), i not going to put this video on my blog although it's not erotic (sorry about this). For those who looking for this video, you can check it out in this site. Proceed at your own risk & don't blame me if you get caught while watching this video at your office. For those who are under 18 years old, go watch your cartoons (ultraman, digimon, simsons) or go to listen to this song

Official Press Release
GREGORY, the fondly remembered series of four hilariously poignant one-shots written and drawn by Marc Hempel returns this March in the first of two black-and-white, manga-sized collected editions.
"It's great that DC is putting this material back into print," says Hempel. "People constantly come up to me at conventions to ask where they can find copies of GREGORY! I mean, how many comics from 1989 are even remembered, let alone still in demand? Even after all these years, the little lunatic has a manic and devoted following. All I can say is that for me, GREGORY was a labor of love. And I'm thrilled that not only will longtime fans be able to replace their worn out (or lent out and never returned) original copies, but a new generation of readers will have the opportunity to discover these stories for the first time. As Gregory himself would say, 'IB ZUG!'"
A GREGORY TREASURY VOLUME 1 collects stories from GREGORY and GREGORY II: HERMAN VERMIN'S VERY OWN BEST-SELLING & CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED BOOK WITH GREGORY IN IT, written by Hempel with art and a new cover by Hempel.
A GREGORY TREASURY VOLUME 1 is a black-and-white trade paperback measuring 7 3/8" x 5" and is suggested for mature readers. It will be solicited in the January issue of Previews (Volume XIV, #1) and is scheduled to arrive in March with a cover price of $9.95 U.S.

Speaking during the meeting with the Russian president that lasted for almost two hours, the Iranian Supreme Leader praised Moscow's effective presence on regional scenes, specially Syria, and welcomed further expansion of "bilateral, regional and international cooperation".
He said the US has a long-term plan to dominate the entire region of West Asia. "This long-term plan of the United States is harmful to all the nations and countries, specially Iran and Russia and it should be defused through vigilance and closer interaction."
The Iranian Leader described Putin as a remarkable figure in the contemporary world, and appreciated Russia's efforts in resolving Iran's nuclear issue.
Ayatollah Khamenei said Iran's nuclear issue seems to be in its last chapter, "but we do not at all trust the Americans and are watching the US administration's behavior and performance in this regard with our eyes open wide".
He further noted the seriousness that both the Russian president and Iranian officials have shown to expand bilateral ties between the two states, and said the Tehran-Moscow cooperation can be promoted way beyond its present level, specially in economic fields.
The Iranian leader also praised the Russian president's stances on different issues, particularly in the last one and a half years, as "very good" and "innovative", and said, "Americans always try to push their rivals into a passive stance, but you have defused this policy."
He voiced satisfaction in Iran-Russia security and political cooperation, and said Moscow's decision and moves on the Syrian issue have increased the regional and global credit of both Russia and Mr. Putin.
"The Americans are seeking to first dominate Syria and then spread their control over the region in a bid to fill their historical gap of lack of domination and control over West Asia, and this long-term plot is a threat to all nations and states, Russia and Iran in particular," Ayatollah Khamenei warned.
The Iranian leader also cautioned that the "Americans and their allies are attempting to achieve the goals that they have failed to attain through military action in Syria through politics and negotiations", and reiterated that the US plot should be defused through smart moves and adoption of an active position.
Ayatollah Khamenei further pointed out that the US insistence on removing Bashar al-Assad, who is the legal and elected president of the Syrian people, as "among the weak points of Washington's declared policies", and reminded that the Syrian president has risen to power after winning the majority vote of the people from different political streams, religious groups and ethnicities, "and the United States has not right to ignore the vote and election of the Syrian people".
"As regards Syria, any solution should be pursued after the country's people and officials are informed and voice consent," the Iranian Leader emphasized.
Ayatollah Khamenei also mentioned the United States' direct and indirect aid to the terrorist groups, including ISIL, as among the other obvious weak points of Washington policies, and stated, "The United States' cooperation with those countries that have been left with no credit in the region and world public opinion due to their support for terrorists displays that the Americans do not have an honorable diplomacy."
"And that's why we do not and will not take part in any bilateral negotiations with the Americans neither on Syria nor on any other topic, except the nuclear issue" that had its own specific and unique reasons, added the Leader.
The Iranian Supreme Leader viewed "a proper solution of the Syrian issue as highly important and influential in the future of the region, and cautioned that "if the terrorists that are committing these crimes in Syria are not suppressed, the magnitude of their destructive activities will spread to Central Asia and other regions".
Also, during the landmark meeting in Tehran on Monday, the Russian president described Tehran as "a trustworthy and reliable ally in the region and the world", and vowed not to betray his partnership with Iran under any condition.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran is an independent and solid strong country with very good prospects, and we see you as a trustworthy and reliable ally in the region and the world," the Russian president said at the meeting with Ayatollah Khamenei today.
"Unlike certain parties, we are committed to never stab our partners in the back or take any behind-the-stage move against our friends and to resolve any differences that may arise through dialogue," he added.
The Russian leader further described the two countries' position on Syria as "very close", and reiterated the crucial importance of the two states' cooperation in this regard.
"We also stress that the Syrian crisis can only be resolved through political means and people's vote and accepting the demands of all Syrian peoples and groups, and no one has the right to impose his views on the people of that country to decide about the government structure and fate of the president of Syria," Putin continued.
"As your Excellency stated, the Americans are seeking to obtain the goals that they have failed to materialize through the clashes in Syria at the negotiating table and we are taking note of this issue," he added.
The Russian leader laid further emphasis on his country's continued attacks on the terrorist groups in Syria, and termed Tehran-Moscow cooperation and consultation over the process of the political solution of the Syrian issue "fully necessary".
"Those who claim to be advocates of democracy cannot oppose elections in Syria," Putin said.
At the end of the meeting, the Russian president presented an ancient manuscript of the Holy Quran to the Iranian leader that showed his deep understanding of Ayatollah Khamenei.
