Boehner re-elected as House speaker
- 113th Congress convened Thursday
- Democrats retained control of the Senate, Republicans the House following the 2012 election
- New Congress will face ongoing battles over the nation's debt
WASHINGTON--House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, was re-elected to a second two-year term to lead a polarized Congress, which convened for the 113th session on Thursday. Debates on deficit reduction, immigration, and gun laws are on the agenda.
For Boehner, leadership challenges also await. He begins the new Congress on a weakened note after failing to deliver a majority of Republicans in support of a bipartisan deal to avert the fiscal cliff of tax hikes and spending cuts, which passed on the strength of House Democrats' support.
He also came under fire this week from Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., for delaying action on federal aid for storm victims in the Northeast.
His re-election was never in doubt, but rank-and-file frustration spilled out on the House floor during the roll call vote to elect the speaker, which is the first order of business in a new Congress. Nine Republicans voted for someone other than Boehner, and one lawmaker, Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, voted present. Of the nine who voted against Boehner, three voted for his top deputy, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va. Two freshman lawmakers who won in the 2010 Tea Party wave, Reps. Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina and Raul Labrador of Idaho, did not vote despite being present.
Boehner was re-elected with 220 votes, while Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., received 192. Pelosi did not receive the support of a half dozen Democrats.
In a speech before the House, Boehner sought an inspirational tone for the new session. "For those who are returning, who have walked these aisles before, maybe it's time we feel awestruck again," he said, calling the the 113th Congress "a time to rise" and cautioned lawmakers against putting politics ahead of the country. "So if you have come here to see your name in lights or to pass off political victory as accomplishment, you have come to the wrong place. The door is behind you," he said.
In her remarks, Pelosi called on Congress to address immigration reform and gun laws, invoking the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
The Senate was also sworn in Thursday, ushering in a historic level of women, 20, serving in the chamber and the first black senator from the South since Reconstruction, Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C. He is the only African American in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., will continue to lead the chamber.
Vice President Biden swore in the 12 new members elected in November. Opening day draws scores of former lawmakers back to Capitol Hill. Looking on from the Senate gallery was former senator and vice president Walter Mondale from Minnesota. Defeated GOP senator Richard Lugar and retired Democratic senator Evan Bayh appeared alongside newly elected home state Sen. Joe Donnelly of Indiana, a Democrat. Former Ohio Democratic senator John Glenn appeared with newly reelected Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio.
Shortly before the session, Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., who had been absent for the past year while recovering from a stroke, slowly walked up the 45 steps to the Senate, with Biden nearby and the Senate leaders at the top of the stairs to greet him.
"A courageous man," Reid said. Members of the Illinois congressional delegation and senators stood on the steps.
As he entered the building, resting on a cane, Biden and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., helped Kirk take off his coat. The senator said he was glad to be back.
KIRK:Illinois senator makes dramatic return after stroke
The traditions come against the backdrop of a divided Congress that is on a collision course with President Obama over upcoming budget fights to extend the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling and fund the federal government.
A deal to avert the "fiscal cliff" of big tax increases and spending cuts split the parties in New Year's Day votes, and the House's failure to vote on a Superstorm Sandy aid package before adjournment prompted GOP recriminations against the leadership.
"There's a lot of hangover obviously from the last few weeks of this session into the new one, which always makes a fresh start a lot harder," said Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas.
Followng the 2012 elections, Democrats tightened their grip on the Senate for a 55-45 edge in the new Congress, while Republicans maintained their majority in the House but will have a smaller advantage, 233-200. There are two vacancies.
The new Congress still faces the ideological disputes that plagued the dysfunctional 112th Congress, one of the least productive and most unpopular in more than 60 years. Tea Party members within the Republican ranks insist on fiscal discipline in the face of growing deficits and have pressed for deep cuts in spending as part of a reduced role for the federal government. Democrats envision a government with enough resources to help the less fortunate and press for the wealthiest to pay more in taxes.
"We can only hope for more help," said Manchin, who was re-elected in November. "Any time you have new members arriving you have that expectation of bringing fresh ideas and kind of a vitality that is needed. We hope that they're coming eager to work hard and make some difficult decisions and put the country first and not be bogged down ideologically."
At least one longtime Democrat, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, will be departing in a few weeks, nominated by Obama to be secretary of State. That opens the door to former Republican senator Scott Brown, the only incumbent senator to lose in November's elections, to possibly make a bid to return to Washington.
Eighty-two freshmen join the House — 47 Democrats and 35 Republicans.
In the Senate, the Associated Press reported that Reid and Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky are negotiating possible changes in the rules as lawmakers face a bitter partisan fight over filibusters, according to a Senate Democratic leadership aide who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about private matters.
Reid has complained that Republicans filibuster too often and has threatened to impose strict limits with a simple majority vote. That step could set off retaliatory delays and other maneuvers by Republicans, who argue that they filibuster because Reid often blocks them from offering amendments.
The aide said Reid was preserving the option of making changes with a simple majority vote.

The KPMG Global Automotive Executive Survey is an annual assessment of the current state and future prospects of the worldwide automotive industry.
This report looks at the current challenges facing the auto industry...
This year, 800 auto executives from 38 countries gave their insights to KPMG on topics such as business model disruption, connectivity and digitalization, customer data, new products and who will be the winners or losers in the auto industry. To give further insights and 'reality checks' to the industry, for the first time we surveyed over 2,100 customers from around the world.
According to the survey findings, major business model disruption is extremely likely for around 10 times more of the auto executives surveyed this year compared to last year—82 percent of the auto executives surveyed estimate a major business model disruption in the next five years to be extremely likely or somewhat likely.
Key highlights from the report:
Disruption ahead
Executives who ranked connectivity #10 in our 2015 survey moved it up to #1 this year, with 50.1% rating it as extremely important. For the last three years, the top concern was growth in emerging markets and that has dropped to #4
How to cope with disruption
Service and data driven business models pave the way towards owning the customer relationship. OEMs need to transform into becoming consumer oriented service providers.
Who's best prepared
- Last year's owner of the top spot, Hyundai, has fallen to fourth place this year with 50 percent of respondents expecting an increase in market share. Hyundai is followed by Ford at number five with 49 percent. In general, most auto executives responding to the survey are optimistic and only few expect a decrease in any of the OEMs market share.
- For many of the OEMs, respondents see stability in their future. For instance, while 34 percent of respondents expect Daimler to have an increase in market share, 53 percent expect them to remain stable. Similarly, 'new player' Tesla, is expected to increase in market share by 37 percent of respondents yet remain stable by 52 percent of respondents.
- BMW and Toyota will also be the leaders in the fields of e-mobility and autonomous driving. They are also ranked in the top spots as being the most groundbreaking innovators in the future followed by Honda, Ford and Tesla.
View short video capturing key highlights from the report.
The auto industry is being transformed by connectivity and digitalization.
What does it mean for automotive innovation?
China can no longer be regarded as emerging. It's one of the world's most dynamic markets.

Sports cars are a pretty simple classification, right? In today's world of grancoupes and front-drive fastbacks and 3,200+ lb Ferrari two-doors, things are getting a little complicated.
The car market is convoluted enough that Gmonster had to ask what exactly is a sports car anymore, sparked by seeing the simple glory of a sideways 350Z.
Can you clear up for me what a sports car is? Is my E92 335 a sports car? If yes, would a E90 328 qualify too? Where do we draw the line? Altima coupe vs 350z? Focus st vs Golf R?
It's a good question - what cars that seem like sports cars, really aren't? And what cars that may not appear at first to be sports cars, really are? What purebred sportscars are left in this world of do-everything vehicles?

Announcement: We are switching to a router-centric model. This is necessary to provide you with the advanced features which are required in the current environment. While we will continue to support software only use of our service for the foreseeable future, we urge all customers to chose to go router-only. Our routers are ready to ship! Oh, and we're cutting our regular subscription price by almost 30% while we're at it!
There's no longer any question about it: Everything you do on the Internet is tracked and recorded. Not only is that creepy, it's dangerous.
The hard part is knowing what to do about it, and that's where we come in. The Cryptohippie team has been protecting online lives for more than a decade. We provide the best protection available and combine it with the best customer service in the business.
Installing our software takes about 15 minutes; after that you can use the Internet as you always have. Aside from a few clicks to turn your protection on, Cryptohippie doesn't change the way you use the Internet at all.
If you want to use our anonymous email, chat or voice systems, they're available to you at no extra charge. We'll also protect your iPhone, iPad and Android devices - also at no extra charge.
Not only does this protection cost less than a dollar a day, but and we'll return your money if you are not satisfied.
Our primary product is called Road Warrior. It creates a strongly encrypted connection from your computer to the Cryptohippie anonymity network. From there, your information passes through at least two national jurisdictions, loses all association with your identifiers and emerges from our network at a distant location.
But, even with all of this going on, you can surf, check your email, use Skype, and everything else exactly as you have been. Unless you reveal it yourself, no one can see who you are or where you may be.
Bouncing your signal between continents does slow you down a bit, but usually no more than 10%.
Road Warrior works with Mac, Windows and Linux operating systems. And, you can use one account to protect both desktop and laptop machines, simultaneously. Unless you do a lot of downloading, you won't need a separate account for each computer.
You can see how our system works here.
Our clients are financial professionals, small investors, doctors, lawyers, realtors, scientists, parents, grandparents, housewives, international travelers and small business owners – a wide variety of good people who are reclaiming their privacy and protecting the information of people they care about.
Cryptohippie, USA, Inc. operates only authenticator services and no network servers. We are an authorized agent of the network operations company, but we have no involvement in operating any parts of the CHAVPN network except authentication for our clients.
Sadly, it is now necessary to avoid network operations in the United States. As it stands, networks without political connections are vulnerable to equipment seizures without warrants. Perhaps in the future that will change.
We pride ourselves on giving our customers personal care. Our people are available 24/7 by email.
I am currently using what I've found to be an extraordinary service... from CryptoHippie . Long-story short, it makes it so nobody – not Google, not even your Internet service provider, not the government, and (theoretically of course) not a hacker – can track your Internet activity back to you. This service is not free, but it's worth every penny. (I tried the "free" and cheap services, but you don't want them... You surf too slowly to be functional and they're potentially even riskier than doing nothing at all.) … came highly recommended, from my most trusted contacts. – Steve Sjuggerud, DailyWealth.com
There are many VPN services available. I prefer services that don't have networks installed in the United States to avoid possible
compromise under legislation such as the USA PATRIOT Act. The service that I use is Cryptohippie. Its only U.S. presence is to
authenticate connections to Cryptohippie servers in other countries. None of Cryptohippie's servers are in the United States.
– Mark Nestmann, International Tax Planning Consultant, Nestmann.com
Everyone once in a while during life you discover something new and genuine that is truly a surprise... Cryptohippie is a
VPN you can trust. It's also the best... I have been personally been using Cryptohippie, and am extremely impressed by the
services offered.
– Marco the Wizard (Tech Editor), ToThePointNews.com
I use a professional service that's pretty much the Rolls Royce of online privacy. Not only does it fully mask IP and other
identifying information (that the free proxies miss), but it also encrypts all web traffic so that no intelligible information
can be monitored. The service is called Cryptohippie, and I can't recommend it enough if you're serious about your online privacy.

Some of the things Mahatma Gandhi (MK Gandhi) did are quite complicated to many people. They seem to be contradictory or conflicting in nature. According to me, Gandhi is a miserable failure. He set out to achieve one of the biggest tasks in the history of mankind and failed miserably. According to me, it was the biggest challenge any human has ever undertaken – he actually believed that he could convince people (humans) to live amicably, respecting each other's differences and tolerating diversity, forever. In some respects, his goal was far greater than any other prophets who came before in time. Mohammed united a bunch of war-mongering, women-grabbing tribes under a single banner called Islam. He taught them to love, respect and treat each other equally; and to ensure that they keep doing this after he is gone he laid out many rules. He was a bit of authoritarian in his style- he wanted no debates on certain rules; may be, he saw some flaws in previous systems (read, religions) and hence he want to make a foolproof system. He realized that as long as people are alike, they will love each other and would not make war, nor kill each other, nor insult each other, and therefore wanted to make sure all people are turned (or converted) to be alike. This, he thought, would solve all problems. His algorithm went this way-
Rule 1. People love other people only if they are of same kind
Rule 2. Make all people alike.
Rule 3. If some resist, use all means necessary to make them alike.
Rule 4. If someone questions any of the above, he is not alike (apply Rule 2 & 3).
This he thought would ensure that there is only one system in the world and hence would solve all the problems. He wasn't that magnanimous when it comes to people of other kind. He just did not want to deal with the issue of diversity. He wanted to make it simple. For his algorithm to work, he knew clearly that Rule 2 has to be achieved in totality, no matter what. He realized that it could be trouble if there exists another strong and big group who are not alike. This would upset the whole algorithm because Rule 3 may not be applied with success all the time. So, he took strong care to mention in strong words different aspects of Rule 3 and felt that that was good enough to make system work. Unfortunately, other systems also developed similar kind of rules, became big groups of different kind and posed a challenge to this algorithm. Rest, as they say, is history!
Lets take another prophet- Jesus Christ. He was not as clever. He did not devise an elaborate algorithm. He didn't want to set rules. He just wanted to love, be loved, and teach everyone else to love each other. I guess he was quite a romantic guy. I don't think he ever wanted to create a system (read, religion). He was just a happy-go-lucky, lets-be-merry kind of guy but was deeply troubled when he realized that there was lot of hatred and animosity amongst people. He saw how certain kind of people treated other kind of people badly. He was against this discrimination. In some way, he believed in the modern day kind of constitutions that like to, or at least pretend to, treat every one equal irrespective of sex, religion, race, language, etc. When he saw too many problems around him, he came up with a simple and elegant solution. He thought – 'Let love prevail!' He went about preaching the same. He was hoping that everyone would love each other and would not care about their differences and hence would live happily ever after. But for some reason, people did not care much for his message after he was gone. But there were some who realized that it was in their interest if people were alike – it was much easier to rule them, much easier to influence them, etc. Therefore they devised a system built upon his message and enforced it onto others so that they all learn to love. In my opinion, though his message was clear, and he went about practicing it, he had not quite understood the inherent diversity in the people, and didn't address it properly– other than the message of love. But he had lot of success to his credit. In few hundred years, his message got translated into a system with rules called Christianity. He had few things going easy for him though- he was focusing on a small geographical area that was not as diverse as the modern India and there were not many big systems (religions) that could pose challenges.
One could talk about other prophets, but the story runs similar.
Gandhi had a huge and daunting task for himself. He had to face much more diverse set of people compared to any of the prophets above. His method was different - he did not want to eliminate those diversities. He inherently believed that people are always different. He didn't want to change others. His message was clear- change yourself to learn to love and respect the other although he is quite different from you. He was hoping that different groups who have strong systems and algorithms would modify some of their steps/rules to be accommodating to others. He wanted people to co-exist peacefully. In fact, he had the biggest, most diverse and most complicated experiment grounds to work on compared to any of the prophets above. He hoped that the only way to go about is to create some principles which when practiced by different people would achieve the above loftier goal. Instead of introducing new systems, he worked with the existing systems and algorithms, and hoped to bring out similarities in each of them. This was a complex problem of gigantic proportions. Many people, who were used to their systems, felt theirs was superior from others and hence would not budge to see his message. All in all, he went on conducting his experiments throughout his life, laid out guiding principles, practiced them and preached them. However, his message was soon lost on different groups who wanted to be the way they were- and didn't want a half-naked fakir teaching them how to be tolerant of others. They thought- 'If someone has to exist with us, let them change, we are fine the way we were'. Soon his system crumbled, and the world was as before- different warring groups constantly fighting as ever. He set out to achieve highest of the goals, and failed, miserably.
Once we realize what he was striving for, I am hoping that most of his actions could be easily explained. When he started Non-cooperation movement, he knew that he was asking a bunch of young doctors to perform a crucial surgery. He was hoping they would be disciplined enough to actually pull this off, but when he entered the operation theater, he saw bunch of unruly youngsters bickering about and throwing scissors into the air. He had to call it off that day so that they can all come back to this surgery later. He knew that if he went ahead with it there was a danger that patient may actually die. He called off the Non-cooperation movement because he saw that India would be broken into pieces if it became independent right away. The people, administrators, the future rulers were just not ready yet. Ruling India was a far complicated problem than anyone imagined.
All the while, during the Independence movement, the biggest challenge for him was not the Independence itself. Actually it was ranking #17 in his list (I am just making up this list to drive my point). He had 16 other things of higher priority. First was to ensure that India remains one. If it breaks up, his goal (see above – to achieve unity amongst diverse people) is not realized. He wanted different religions to live together. He wanted different castes to treat each other with respect. A great deal of time was spent to bring untouchables, lower castes into the mainstream. He wanted women to be treated properly. He wanted us to practice good hygiene, good sanitary conditions. He wanted us to depend less on other kind of people because that created the difference in social structure, and hence asked us to clean our toilets, make our own clothes, etc.
Many a times, he called off some of his movements because half way through the operation, he started to realize that the operation (cutting of the tumor) might be successful, but the patient may eventually die. Therefore, he called it off, much to the dismay, disappointment, disillusionment that led into resentment amongst those young doctors. It created many disgruntled doctors- Bhagat Singh, Chandrasekhar Azad, Subhash Chandra Bose, etc.
His concern was not 'when' but 'how' would India get its independence? What would happen right after achieving complete freedom? Would we fight amongst ourselves? Would Hindus fight the Muslims? What kind of bloodshed would it be? He roughly calculated on a piece of paper that it would be more than 100 Million in deaths (I am making this up to drive my point). Would the untouchable still remain untouchable? Would women be freer? Would our youngsters be unruly mob demanding things or would they discipline themselves to work towards better administration? Would every king in every corner make a country of his own or would they join India?
When Bhagat Singh was convicted of a murder Gandhi had to deal with a complicated problem. Should he pardon Singh's means and methods? By condoning Singh's acts is he not setting a wrong example to the other youth? Is it the kind of India he envisions? When British leave, would there be law and order, or would it be chaos? Would we be assassinating others, or would we be working with the system?
The answers are easy to come – if you go see his ultimate goal above.
When India got its independence, his goal was not realized, because many of his top 16 priorities were not achieved. He was sad for various failures. India was partitioned – this meant that two religions would not wish to live together – his ultimate goal not achieved. Its leaders were chanting venomous slogans against other groups, they were not treating its citizen equal and they were bickering and fighting. He knew he failed and hence he was disappointed. Moreover, they were not listening to him any more- neither the leaders nor the people. He was no longer a Mahatma to them. He died, knowing that his message was not heard, that he failed in the grandest experiment ever designed in the history of mankind!

Sudan: Statement by Sudanese women activists
Over the past 20 years Sudanese women- regardless of their race, religion, age or background- have suffered degrading treatment and humiliation under the public order code of 1996, which changed in 2009 to The Society Safety Code. Women, especially the poor women, street vendors and students, have been and continue to be subjected to constant threat of being arrested, beaten and tortured just for what they are wearing and their mere presence on the street. Majority are denied legal recourse and once arrested they risk being sent to prison or flogged.
Sudanese women represent more than half of the Sudan population, their contribution to the society economy and wellbeing is substantial. Women, from street vendors, teachers and farmers, workers are preserving communities and families across the country. The role of the state is to protect them, maintain their dignity and pride and their access to a fair justice system. The degradation of women is affecting our society and self esteem and diminish the respect that we have in our diverse cultures towards women and girls- an aspect of our culture that we do need to promote and enhance.
The discriminatory laws against women embedded in Sudan legislations contradicts the declared government commitment to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) signed on 9 January 2005 and the National Interim Constitution. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) - which Sudan acceded in 1986- prohibits torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment such as flogging and protects women's rights to be free from discrimination based on sex. Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People's Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa, signed by Sudan on 30 June 2008 emphasized on women right to be respected as a person and to the free development of their personalities and that existing discriminatory laws and practice shall be reformed in order to promote and protect the rights of women. And the Convention on the Rights of Children, ratified by Sudan since 1979 and clearly stating that; States Parties shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that the child is protected against all forms of discrimination or punishment on the basis of the status, activities, expressed opinions, or beliefs.
We the undersigned Sudanese women urge the Government of Sudan to:
• Cease the use of cruel, inhuman and degrading punishments
• Guarantee the procedural rights of women accessing the justice system at all times
• Guarantee respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms throughout the country in accordance with the National Interim Constitution (NIC) and regional and international human rights standards.
• Commit to the promotion of positive culture of respecting women of Sudan and enhance their contribution and protect their wellbeing through adopting laws and polices in accordance with Sudan constitutions and international and regional obligations
• Support and facilitate women access to the justice system safely and with dignity, through provision of training and education on the rights of women to law enforcement and other Sudan justice system mechanisms.

A new study suggests that certain personality traits may influence whether or not you'll have children, but these traits differ in men and women.
Researchers from Austria's International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis found that men who are extroverted and open tend to have more children, while women who rank as conscientious on personality tests tend to have fewer or no children.
Men with neurotic personality traits, such as moodiness, were also found to have fewer children compared to previous generations. The study used survey and birth registry data on more than 7,000 Norwegians from 1927 to 1968.
While the study is based on subjects in Norway, head researcher Vegard Skirbekk says that the findings likely apply more widely. "Norway is a leader country in terms of family dynamics," he said. "Many trends that have been observed first in Norway -- increasing cohabitation, divorce rates, and later marriage, for example -- have then been observed later in many other parts of the world. Of course it remains to be seen if this phenomenon will also spread."
The research follows a 2010 study from the UK's University of Sheffield that found that in societies with high birth rates, neurotic women and extraverted men are likely to have more children. That study was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

As we reported earlier today, Crunch is filing for bankruptcy and then proposing that it be purchased by its senior secured lenders, New Evolution Fitness Company (NEFC), founded by Mark Mastrov and Jim Rowley, and CH Fitness, an affiliate of Angelo, Gordon & Co.
Well, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Gerber, who was hearing the bankruptcy case in Manhattan this afternoon, apparently didn't like the deal. In fact, he called it "outrageous." He said that the plan violates bankruptcy laws. He also says that the plan didn't clearly spell out that the company was proposing that it be sold to CH Fitness, which is 92 percent owned by Angelo, Gordon—even though Angelo, Gordon currently owns more than 90 percent of the company's equity. The judge said that this plan appears to be the company selling itself to itself.
Crunch must provide the judge with an affidavit explaining the deal.
What do you think of the Crunch plan?

We try to highlight the key fantasy contributors, unusual injuries, or situations where the official projected return is variable or not given. Players whose progress is proceeding as expected are very well covered by fantasy news sources; we'll tend to leave those players alone unless we have something we want to add to the news coverage.

This week on Teen Mom 3, Alex Sekella receives unsettling news about Matt McCann, Mackenzie Douthit feels ignored, Briana DeJesus and Devoin Austin face off in court, and Katie Yeager talks to Joey Maes about moving.
Katie and Joey are getting along better since he quit smoking pot. So, Katie plans her next relationship hurdle, which is proposing a move to Utah for college. She's currently enrolled in community college but needs to transfer to a four year school (and they apparently only breed them in Utah) to get a degree in social work. Katie doesn't think she can survive without Joey
making her cry for two years so she needs to convince him to move with her.
Meanwhile Alex points out that she's juggling school, work, and Arabella now that Matt's out of the picture. Because she had oodles of help those TWO WEEKS he was in the picture. Alex wants Matt restricted to court supervised visits only. "I don't want him and his substances in her life or around Arabella," she says. "I don't know where he is or what he's doing. If he's homeless, then he's homeless. That's his choice, his conscious decision to do that."

George Clooney will host a telethon to help the people of Haiti next Friday, NBC News has confirmed.
The telethon will raise money for the embattled island nation, an MTV rep told NBC News, adding that details are still being worked out.
According to The Hollywood Reporter's Showbiz 411 column, which broke the news, the "Up In The Air" star is in the process of reaching out to his Hollywood friends to garner famous faces for the telethon. The telethon will reportedly air across MTV's various networks, including MTV and VH1,
A number of stars, including Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and rock band Coldplay, have come forward to urge people to donate to relief efforts for Haiti, which was struck by a devastating 7.0 earthquake earlier this week.
On Wednesday, The Associated Press reported that officials fear that hundreds of thousands of people may have died in the quake.

David.akermanis needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 9 designs submitted by 3 freelance designers.
Speedboats & Big Explosions
We're in the midst of launching a new musical project called Speedboats & Big Explosions. We produce a funky variety of house music that draws heavily upon disco and funk influence but with a more modern sound.
The brand is driven by two fake personae that channel the Beastie Boys "Sabotage" video. Miami Vice is also a good example. The picture attached should give you an idea of the characters :)
Young, Trendy, Mostly male 19 - 35
We'd really like something that channels the Burnout paradise logo that is attached here. Rather than the city at the top though, we'd like a speedboat zooming forward with some perspective (angled either to the right or left).
Behind the speedboat there could be a huge explosion or another boat or something like that. There could be guys shooting guns off the back of the boat, flying off the boat, we'll leave that up to you.
Remember, the two personae for the brand are badass and live fast-paced lives of excitement. The logo should reflect that.

Today I felt like changing the look of my blog. It was like when I change the place of a vase at home, and then, without previous warning, I'm changing the entire organization of the living room. I wanted to get it more organized and ended up changing the whole image.
I'm going for a clean, organized, easy on the eye look...but with a pinch of retro, to make it more "homy" and more me. There are still some things missing, namely changing the pictures that link to the thematic posts. But I'm happy with the results so far. Hope you enjoy it too.

In 2004, Dr Imtiaz Sooliman, Founder and Chairman of the Gift of the Givers Foundation developed and piloted the world's first ground nut - soya milk High Energy Protein Supplement called Sibusiso Ready Food Supplement (SRFS). Through the disaster relief work it was noted that persons receiving food relief were still sub-clinically malnourished.
The aim was to develop a nutritional supplement to meet the dietary challenges of people in disaster situations where there is limited access to clean, safe water, refrigeration and poor hygiene and sanitation practices.Sibusiso is indicated in cases of weight loss, muscle wasting, low energy levels, nutritional challenges, weakness and decreased appetite.
Currently, it's being used by 230 health facilities in South Africa, Malawi, Lesotho and Botswana. It has been accepted and endorsed by the Department of Health as a highly effective nutrient supplement for debilitating conditions such as malnutrition, tuberculosis and HIV, Aids. However, it's also suitable for those with high energy needs such as sports people or students.

Sounders coach Sigi Schmid planning on three points vs. Rapids
While the Rapids have dominated in Commerce City this season — they have three home wins in three tries in MLS — the Sounders are lacking on the road.
In three games outside Seattle, coach Sigi Schmid's crew are winless, with a loss and two ties. But that wasn't Schmid's plan. He was counting on four points on a two-game road trip — three in a victory over Philadelphia last week and one for a tie against Colorado on Friday night.
But the Union led 1-0 in injury time last week before Seattle salvaged a point with a late goal. That leaves Schmid needing a victory over Colorado to save his hopes.
He told the Seattle Times' Joshua Mayers his revised plan:
"I was hoping to get three in Philly and one in Colorado," said Schmid.
"OK," he said to himself, "I'll take one today and we'll save the three for Colorado."
Steve Zakuani leads Seattle with two goals and two assists. The Rapids-Sounders game airs nationally on Fox Soccer Channel at 7:30 p.m.

Blackhawks take Game 1 in 3OT classic
- Andrew Shaw scores on a double deflection in the third overtime
- Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford is sharp in overtime
- Boston%27s Nathan Horton leaves game with injury
CHICAGO – The Chicago Blackhawks boast star power and yet they are often fueled by players who aren't likely to ever grace the cover of the Hockey News.
The Blackhawks' impressive depth was even more valuable Wednesday when role player Andrew Shaw scored on a tip-in with 7:52 left in the third overtime to give Chicago a 4-3 win to end the fifth-longest Stanley Cup Final game in NHL history. The classic game ended at the stroke of midnight.
"He's a competitor," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "He does things game in, game out. The bigger the stage, the bigger the challenge, he rises to the occasion. He knows where the front of the net is.
The two teams had played 112:08 of hockey when defenseman Michal Rozsival flipped a wrist shot from the point that first was deflected by Dave Bolland before it hit Shaw's leg and ricocheted past Boston goalie Tuukka Rask. It was the 117th shot of a game that lasted just short of five hours and the Blackhawks' 63rd shot.
BOX SCORE:Blackhawks 4, Bruins 3 (3OT)
"(Shaw) is one of those guys that you appreciate he's on your side and he's relentless," Quenneville said.
Shaw said he knew the winning goal wasn't going to be a pretty one.
"You could tell both teams were physically exhausted," Shaw said. "We preached it, go to the net, you'll find a way to get a greasy goal."
Chicago's secondary scorers were essential to its success in the opening game of the Stanley Cup Final. Boston's scoring came from its stars, while the Blackhawks goals came from a rookie (Brandon Saad), a defenseman (Johnny Oduya), a veteran (Bolland) who scored his first goal of the playoffs and Shaw, known primarily for providing his team with an energy boost.
"I don't think we do our game planning around Mr. Shaw," said Boston coach Claude Julien. "Our game plan is against the Chicago Blackhawks. We know he's an agitator. We know he's good at embellishing, too, at times. We know all of that stuff. We've done our research."
Midway through the third overtime period, Boston forward Kaspars Daugavins had the puck in Chicago's goal crease, but couldn't gain control of the puck to stuff it in the half-empty goal.
"I thought we had some chances for sure to win the game (in overtime), but we didn't so you have to get ready for the next one," Bruins captain Zdeno Chara said.
Chicago goalie Corey Crawford made 54 saves in the game, including 29 in the three overtime periods.
"He had several all-alone players and saves," Quenneville said. "Had some odd-man breaks, some dangerous looks. He was great, found the puck, challenges. A lot of pucks at the net, a lot of bouncing pucks with traffic, and a big penalty kill as well."
There were 120 hits in the game, 61 by Chicago and 59 by Boston. The Bruins blocked 40 shots, and Chicago had 23 blocked. Marian Hossa had 10 shots on goal, and Saad had nine and Patrick Sharp had eight.
SCHEDULE:Dates, results, TV
The game went to overtime because Oduya's shot hit Boston defenseman Andrew Ference's skate and deflected into the goal at 12:14 of the third period to tie the game 3-3.
The loss could be even heavier consequences for the Bruins who lost right wing Nathan Horton to an injury before the start of the second overtime. Julien said he wouldn't know anything about Horton until doctors had time to evaluate him Thursday. Coincidentally, Horton was hurt in the Stanley Cup Final when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup in 2011.
Julien said he isn't concerned that the heartbreaking notion of losing in triple overtime will be devastating to the team's championship hopes. "The last time we won the Cup, we lost the first two games to Vancouver," Julien said. "It never stopped us from coming back. This certainly won't."
The Blackhawks' third goal meant they had scored more goals in Game 1 than the Pittsburgh Penguins had scored against Boston in the four games played in the Eastern Conference finals.
Patrice Bergeron scored a power play goal at 6:09 on a shot from above the left wing circle to give Boston a 3-1 lead, the Blackhawks pulled within one goal when Bolland scored his first goal of the playoffs at 8:00 of the third period.
Milan Lucic scored a pair of goal to stake Boston to a 2-0 lead, but Brandon Saad scored on a pass from Marian Hossa at 3:08 of the second period to cut Boston's lead to one goal.
On Lucic's first goal, Chicago defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson missed his check on David Krejci behind the Chicago net and Krejci claimed the puck and pushed it out front where Horton deflected to Lucic, who scored at 13:11 of the first period.
"(We) just basically played two hockey games in one night," Quenneville said. "So get some rest and get excited about coming in here Saturday night."

Obama ripped for Kamala Harris remark
Instead of leaving the Bay Area Thursday after what would have normally been a quiet two-day fundraising trip, President Obama faced some criticism for calling California's Kamala Harris "the best-looking attorney general in the country."
Obama's comments came at the second of two fundraisers in Atherton Thursday and began with praise for Harris' performance as attorney general.
"You have to be careful to, first of all, say she is brilliant and she is dedicated and she is tough, and she is exactly what you'd want in anybody who is administering the law and making sure that everybody is getting a fair shake," Obama said. "She also happens to be by far the best-looking attorney general in the country."
Reacting to news reports of the event, some critics labeled the remarks insulting. "Obama in need of gender-sensitivity training," read one blog from New York Magazine.
The reactions took place mostly on Twitter and on blogs, and many commentators took the comment as an opportunity to joke about who they believe are the most attractive attorneys general.
Also at the fundraiser, Obama singled out South Bay Rep. Mike Honda, a Democrat from San Jose who is facing former Obama administration official and fellow Democrat Ro Khanna in the 2014 election. The Honda campaign has been touting Obama's endorsement.
"Somebody who works tirelessly on behalf of California every day but also works on behalf of working people and makes sure that we've got a more inclusive America - a good friend of mine, somebody who you guys should be very proud of," Obama said of Honda.
The Atherton fundraisers benefited the Democratic National Committee and were held at the homes of Mark Heising and Liz Simons, and Marcia and John Goldman.
In his remarks, Obama highlighted the legacy he hopes to leave after his second term, saying he wanted to improve the economy for the middle class, address climate change and push for gay rights.
He also said he hopes to see immigration reform and new gun-control laws enacted, but that Americans will have to mobilize for such initiatives if the gridlocked Congress is to act.
Obama on Wednesday held two fundraisers in San Francisco for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, at which he emphasized his goal to return House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco to the speakership.
Obama left San Francisco Thursday afternoon and returned to Washington.

Avery Brewing is doing a little Christmas ale counter-programming with the release of a beer named for a demon.
The beer geek-favorite Boulder brewery unleashes the ninth annual batch of its Mephistopheles Stout today, its latest and last big beer release of the year. The 15.4 percent alcohol-by-volume imperial stout was first brewed in 2005 as the third installment in Avery's Demons of Ale series.
The beer is distinguished by its Westmalle Belgian yeast strain – which the brewery says produces layers of esters and phenols that create much of the complexity – roasted and black malts, and trace amounts of Special B. That's a specialty malt that adds a touch raisin-like sweetness.

The Art of being a Shishya
The Art of being a Shishya
The ancient sages and rishis prayed and meditated for years and lifetimes, into the cause of the world and life itself. As the life moved on the life transformed into meditation itself, within the meditation one was able to live newer lives and ways yet continued to work from the moment they had departed. The way of knowing the truth, the way of meeting a Guru, the method of connecting with a Divine spirit is not a workshop, programme; but a process, a process of going deep, within the self, the word in ancient times used was 'Sadhana'. Sadhana is that which should be accomplished. If the sadhana in one life is incomplete or partial then even meeting a Master will become a rare phenomenon.
The sadhana is with the self, within the self to cleanse, purify and not to just ask questions or queries when and wherever one meets anyone but be ready to discard, unclothe and bare the spirit like a child, where the value of trust, surrender and acceptance is complete with the innocence and truthfulness of a child. This child once known is the Yogi one looks for, and the Yogi he finds, where being still one cannot bear to be out of the sight of Yogishvara. Only when the Yogi within awakens does one find a Yogishvara, only when a Shishya is born a Guru would be there. The search for a shishya is like that of Nandi waiting for Shiva, the moment Shiva appears, only Shiva is seen for Nandi does not move, it is then only Shiva who manifests within Nandi itself. The rider and the one ride both become one, inseparable. Nandi will have nothing more than Shiva to say, live and breathe while Shiva without Nandi remains silent, neutral and in deep penance, waiting for the Nandi to appear.Shiva never physically rode Nandi for how can one ride on himself. They become the light for the world to see, know, realize and evolve.

Cosmic Science
Cosmic Science
A time in future would come when modern science would have rethink and re-evaluate there concepts on senses be it of touch, seeing, hearing, taste or smell. These same concepts when given approval at one moment of time in history made religious leaders and thinkers happy that the things written in scriptures thousands of years ago has gained a scientific approval. Religion is nothing but a small uni-dimensional aspect of spirituality that holds onto to teachings and approvals based on the concepts written while the modern science with all its skepticism and assumptions is still even a smaller fragment of religion itself.
Spirituality works through infinite number of dimensions where the cosmic science is acceptable, a rule undeniable even by religion or modern science.
The future science shall talk about consciousness of senses at multiple dimensions working through energy, matter, pulsation, vibration and void. Something religion cannot comprehend while science shall become spiritual.

Path of Dharma
Path of Dharma
It is like a woman who gave birth to a baby. This baby, however, had one body but two heads. She wanted to know if this was one baby or two babies so she went to a wise man and asked him, "Wise sir, is this baby one baby or two babies?"
Then the wise man answered, "Pour hot water on one head and if only one cries, then they are two but if both heads cry, then it's one."
You know the answer and this is a realization which makes you fight against it. The more you fight the more you suffer. The more you do against the will of yours the more you have the guilt, the more you do it secretly the more sinful you feel.
It is not easy to drop the relationship, it is hard to carry on with the relationship. It is a fight of goodness with the need and desire. In this war none actually wins and only loser remains is you for you witness either failure or success, life or slow death.
Can anything be said about wrong or right done by you when the whole self of yours is holding the ground to fight and trying to struggle and survive. Right and wrong is a perception, struggling and suffering is also a perception that which we develop to create a satisfaction to remain in the situation we love to hate.
The path of Dharma is for those can stand up and fight and not for people who adjust and surrender to the demands of the world. ~ His Holiness Shri Maitreya Rudrabhayananda ji
Awakening of Self
Awakening of energy within is not a passing experience, a moment, a feeling of gods/ goddesses or an opening of higher planes of energy centres within the body. Rather, it is a life-transforming process where the beginning is felt and then one selects one of the ways –
A. Of merging with energy to become a siddha,
B. Emerging from the energy to become a yogi,
C. Merge and re-emerge to become a jivamukta,
D. Be alive and be the core of merging, emerging, merging-emerging and neutral force energy makes one an Atiashrami
Those who select none of the ways have to live with only a moment of experience.
~ His Holiness Shri Maitreya Rudrabhayananda ji
Spark of Creativity
Creativity emerges from inspiration, for that first spark allows one to be original. The moment one uses the process of cut and paste, plagiarism one disconnects from the origin leaving one among million still remaining unknown, faceless and ignorant. For walking in others shoes is good for self originality should shine through it for it is core principle of your whole existence.

Are we born with Ego?
Are we born with Ego?
(Disclaimer: copyright exists with the original photographer)
Every single life form brings in Ego when born, but the level we consider is different. The Ego is of Body, it is at the grossest levels, when the Ego at Body-mind level is least, while the Ego at the Mind level is not there.
This is the Ego that allows one to gain the power to survive, fight and live. Remove this Ego and one shall find the Willpower(Iccha-Shakti) too becomes dormant or vanishes.
In Animals, Birds, Aquatic life forms the Ego reaches the levels of Body-Mind and remains there while the human mind breaks through the subtlest level of mind consciousness and allows the Conditioned Ego to become embedded into the core itself.
Rest of the article can be read at: http://maitreyar.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/are-we-born-with-ego/
"Every life on earth has a unique capability and ability to attain its peak of productivity. Insects, Birds, Animals and Aquatic animals have the ability to learn the ways of reaching there peak in life by observing, training and live actions in the ways of survival and fulfillment of basic needs of life through the help of parents, society.
Humans have been bestowed with a thought of productivity beyond the realm of survival and fulfillment of basic needs of life. With all this natures power behind the human mind, one finds that very few people are truly creative, productive and think and work for a future. It is not that the capability and ability is not there but the true potential is hidden behind huge number of conditioned mindset that has formed the basis for training from childhood.
Holding the mindset of the childhood one will never be able to break free of the conditions of non-creative and unproductive shackles. Memories of a childhood is wonderful but when the same memories become a obstacle for growth and productivity of a person then the guilt emerges, making the person sink deeper into one's own guilt and then fear emerges leading one to a situation where one looks for unnecessary ways of cheating, fraudulent ways of getting or showcasing the abilities and capabilities. Though such ways and means is worth its life for a few hours, days, weeks years or maybe a decade then it fades away.
One can be a successful person, a good husband, a good wife, a child, a rich and one having the power, but is it you? Most of the things people do are not by choice but by guilt or fear, when the guilt or fear emerges then comparison of success and failure happens, good and bad happens, have's and have-not's happen. In this powerful force called guilt or fear one keeps struggling to prove oneself time and time again yet the reach is only few times and that too makes more comparisons emerge. Slowly and steadily this leads to a burn out syndrome.
Hold on for a minute, close your eyes. Inhale and exhale normally for a minute and then think what if you have one day to live what all things you would do ?
Too many things will emerge in mind starting from near and dear ones, family, children, sex, travel, money, security; all thoughts will be filled with fear and a sense of losing. You might want to come out of the fearful moment, wanting to open the eyes, still hold on and keep making the list and slowly you would find that over a little time most of the things have vanished leaving out few near and loved ones and if you continue they too would be gone. So who is left only YOU. This YOU is your Conscious Awareness of Self.
This is the beginning of a new journey for you, You have found the YOU; is this YOU what everyone loves, misses, hates, ignores. No, this YOU is you yet so different from you. This is the self what came with you, what shall be with you but never had a chance to be part of you. This YOU is the core energy that works at productivity levels, chiseling the conditions in the perfect mold that make you realize the potential within you.
Now again Slow down and hold , for ten minutes and think with YOU, what life can offer you in increments of every ten minutes for you.
You would find that slowly over a time your own self brings out meaningful things for you, it is a change a way of bringing about the essence of you in the most Productive manner. Here the Productive essence is different it is not out of fear or guilt, it is emerging out of joy and happiness, and connected with Conscious Awareness of YOU. One remains eternally motivated with the SELF when one is connected with YOU and the beauty of this whole thing is that it is not goal oriented or based on competition, it is about excellence. It is about reaching your own peak with no guilt or fear feeling. Once connected to Conscious awareness of Self one loses out the concept of selfishness but reaches out to the state of Self wherein the world becomes a family who appreciates, loves, cares and accolades all your achievement for you too feel the sameness everywhere at every level.
Your attainment of productive and creative heights with conscious awareness brings out the same productive and creative heights around you leading to a state of perfect oneness, which one never even began to think when one started out. So begin by becoming aware of the YOU and see the world change for you."
~ His Holiness Shri Maitreya Rudrabhayananda ji
Lineage of Light
Claimants of light awareness, knowledge work through a process of visualization, guidance, and conditional knowledge. Over a short period of time one who works moves out from the realm visualization, guidance and falls into a newer way of visualization and guidance in hope of knowing the way.
We are from the lineage of Isä the primordial of the primordial light consciousness. We work in light know where one can attain the light only when one lets go of self, merge into the atmosphere around,flow through the medium of energy and matter from the grossest levels to the subtlest level as the desire, need and requirement of the level of consciousness.
Those shoppers of light or conditional minds will wean away or are removed by the nature of energy and matter who are not yet ready for knowing the truth.

Happy Vijaya Dasami
Happy Vijaya Dasami to all
"Nine physical doors of senses are in fact controlled by a slightly open door. This ajar door is navel. It controls the nine doors through the balance of temperature, providing right conditions and right understanding of the sense. Those who strive to develop physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually have to work towards balancing the navel centre. The tenth door is only connecting source to the spirit conscious within for it remains active even before birth and right till few days before death. Attaining control over them is actually gaining victory over ten life forces."

DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire hockey team might be ranked No. 1 in the country, but its No. 1 goal is to finish first in Hockey East.
That's what makes tonight's game against No. 7 Boston University so important.
The Wildcats host the Terriers at the Whittemore Center (7 p.m.) in the final game before the Christmas break.
"Our first goal is to finish in first place in the regular season," said coach Dick Umile.
Boston College currently leads the league with 18 points followed by UNH with 17 and BU with 12.
The Wildcats (11-1-2, 8-1-1 HE) are also trying to sweep the regular-season series from the Terriers (8-5-0, 6-4-0 HE).
They won the first two meetings by scores of 4-1 and 3-1.
"Any time you're playing for a sweep it's a difficult game," said junior forward Kevin Goumas. "We don't want to go backwards. We want to keep winning games."
UNH swept a weekend series from UMass-Lowell last weekend while BU and BC were splitting a two-game series.
When BC lost to BU last Friday, it opened the door for the Wildcats to leap-frog the Eagles in the national rankings.
"Everybody understands what it means," Umile said. "We know it's a target. We'll try our darndest to stay there. We're not going about anything differently because of that."
"A lot of people say we're playing with a target on our back now," said defenseman Justin Agosta, "but I think a lot of us like that, playing with that pressure."
With last Saturday's 5-2 victory at UMass-Lowell, UNH extended its unbeaten streak to eight games (7-0-1).
The Wildcats swept the season series from the River Hawks, 3-0.
"They scored the first goal (Saturday)," Umile said, "but there was no panic. The guys stayed with it and slowly we took the game away from them. We played a very good road game."
Tonight the Wildcats will put their 6-0-0 home record on the line in just their third game at the Whitt since Oct. 26.
And their first since being ranked first nationally for the first time in almost six years.
"They've earned it," Umile said. "We accept the challenge. The push gets bigger when you have that No. 1 target on your chest."
"It's pretty special," Goumas said. "Everybody's looking at you and trying to chase you down."
UNH ranks second nationally in penalty killing. The Wildcats have killed off 30 consecutive power plays and are 48 of 50 overall.
They've also scored four shorthanded goals, three by sophomore Grayson Downing.
"We've become a threat shorthanded," Umile said. "That puts teams back on their heels, knowing that we're going to be aggressive and come after them and try to score if we can."
"We don't like to give them time," Goumas said. "We like to get all over them and force them to make errors."
Downing and Goumas along with Dalton Speelman and Austin Block make up the Wildcats' top two PK tandems.
Goalie Casey DeSmith has also played a key role in the team's shorthanded success.
"Specialty situations will probably be a factor," Umile said, "so you've got to stay out of the penalty box and make you power-play opportunities count."
Being ranked first in the nation in early December means nothing and it means everything to a team that struggled from the outset last season.
"We definitely feel a lot better," Goumas said. "Any time you go into the holidays with the record we have right now it feels great. Last year was tough."
"We've got both worlds," Agosta said. "We've got the bottom and the top. This is definitely the better side to be on."
UNH has an exhibition game Sunday (4 p.m.) at the Whitt against the U.S. U18 national team.
The visitors feature forwards and UNH commits Tyler Kelleher and Shane Eiserman. Kelleher leads the team with 12 goals and 23 points and Eiserman has seven goals and 11 points.
Northwood's Curtis Frye, a goaltender, is also on the team but won't be in uniform. He's recovering from knee surgery in October.
The NTDP goalie coach is former UNH standout Mike Ayers.

You can thank post-war fashion photographer Irving Penn for the popularity of the plain-white-backdrop photoshoot style that has come to annoy me so much in recent years. Back in the day it was innovative, but since many models nowadays are directed to pose with fixed expressions of boredom and/or grim dissatisfaction, having them stand in front of something that resembles an industrial refrigerator only enhances the photoshoots' lack of humanity.
|Marlene Dietrich by Irvin Penn, from here.
It's not exactly claustrophobic art photography, especially since in this day and age at least half of all non-catwalk fashion shows are photographed up against the dreaded refrigerator wall, but Chloé's Pre-Fall line wasn't too bad. For example, this outfit managed to make pleat-front pants look somehow cool and feminine instead of something your grandad wears:
|Photos from Style.com
This model looks CGI. I don't generally approve of photorealistic prints on clothing, but since the hair, accessories and backdrop all suggest that this model is either a holodeck character or an AI droidgirl from a Philip K. Dick movie adaptation, I've decided it's OK that her dress is the couture version of a Teletubby's belly.
Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney is very hit-and-miss for me. Critics rhapsodise about her minimalist brand of chic, but I tend to find it dull. There's stylish restraint, and then there's turning up to everything in a tuxedo jacket. Only James Bond gets to do that, and he wears the full tuxedo.
This collection is rather different from what I usually expect from her brand, however. So here we have one hit...
I picked out this photoshootnot not because of the clothes but because of... well, the whole package. Superficially, here is a brick-coloured velour suit. So far, so Rolling Stones. Next up: velour backdrop. And velour-covered chair, as if the photoshoot took place in someone's garage. Then the fur stole, giving the whole thing a "barbarian king on his throne" kind of look, just a little bit anime-character. The clincher is the model herself: mournful, lanky, female Snape.
|Did no one explain to The Row that this is JUST A JUMPER?
This final shot is a real doozy, since it utilises the "velour backdrop in somebody's garage" background to perfect advantage by taking a picture that looks exactly like a portrait of someone's gothy little sister in the mid '90s. Plus, you can't even see most of the clothes.
Tiles: the new upholstery fabric?

Strongly reminiscent of the famous Yves Saint Laurent 1965 Mondrian dresses.

Midnight, 01:02 August 26, 1922
Publisher: G-Books.com
[Recommended for mature audiences.]
This G-Book® downloadable e-magazine reproduces the rare, second issue of Midnight magazine, Vol. 1, No. 2 from August 26, 1922. Published by the early health and fitness guru Bernarr Macfadden, better known as the founder of Physical Culture magazine, Midnight began in these early issues as a tabloid-style pulp covering titillating and risque subjects, as well as dabbling in crime and mystery stories. Several of these early issues were confiscated and destroyed by police as indecent, and all these issues are very rare today.
The magazine's first issue was on August 19, 1922, and just fourteen issues later it renamed itself Midnight Mysteries and turned away from the expose and scandal stories to all mysteries. Two weeks later the cover morphed to Midnight Mystery Stories, and it ceased publication after only 24 issues, in early 1923. Macfadden went on to build a magazine and newspaper empire in addition to spreading his natural health philosophy. Among his twenty or so magazines were True Story, True Detective, True Romances, Liberty, Model Airplane News, Ghost Stories, and PhotoPlay. He published about a dozen newspapers as well, the most controversial being the New York Evening Graphic.
