Comedian Dane Cook has learned the secret to getting away with anything
By Carl Kozlowski
Hanging out with comedian Dane Cook can be a dangerous proposition. By his own account, he estimates, "At least 15 of my favorite restaurants have closed after I started going there."
The closings weren't by order of the Health Department. Rather, they're just another part of the bizarre, unexplained events that seem to follow Cook everywhere he goes – whether his life is being threatened by a fellow customer for cutting in line at Rite Aid, or he's getting caught in the middle of a gang fight at the Sunset Strip's dearly departed "Rock 'n' Roll Denny's."
"I was sitting there with four of my buddies from Boston," says Cook over a long lunch at a different Denny's. "I had just said, 'I haven't had such a good time in a long time,' when suddenly 12 guys pull up in Escalades, come in, and immediately start throwing ketchup bottles at this group of guys who look pretty shady themselves. Every patron immediately went for the kitchen, because they were blocking the [exit] doors and whipping ketchup bottles, and at that moment I knew what the passengers of the Titanic felt like.
"But after it was over, I felt like, 'What a rush!'" He laughs, swigging a Coke. "But we should be scoping out places to hide right now. It's part of living in L.A., dude."
Cook's mix of comedic storytelling, manic energy, and self-deprecation has earned him a rabid following in both his native Boston – hometown of Jay Leno, Denis Leary, and Steven Wright, among many others – and his adopted hometown of Los Angeles. When his name is announced during his regular weekend gigs at the Laugh Factory, the crowd erupts in the kind of cheers normally lavished on rock stars – replete with squeals from female fans pleased to find in Cook a comic who resembles Ben Affleck more than Jon Lovitz.
Cook's career got another boost on Tuesday, when Comedy Central Records issued his new CD, Harmful If Swallowed, the inaugural release from the cable network's new label. It comes with a DVD compilation of his Comedy Central appearances, including the uncensored hour-long version of his 22-minute televised special. This fall, he'll appear in both the Farrelly Brothers' Siamese-twin comedy Stuck on You and the Ice Cube action flick Torque – and he's developing series ideas with UPN.
The release of Harmful also represents a vindication of Cook's lifelong comedic dreams. He grew up listening to Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor, and wishing he could duplicate their magic, but he might never have made it onto any stage, thanks to a crippling series of childhood panic attacks.
Cook literally had to pretend he didn't exist in order to survive his first performance. While trying to work up the courage to do his own material, he'd watch other Boston comics at an open mike hosted by a pre-fame, pre-Mr. Show David Cross.
"He kept asking for 'Ernest Glenn,' so my hand shot up on his fifth try of the name," Cook recalls. "I went onstage as Ernest Glenn and scored a laugh with my first joke. It was about a tabloid headline that read 'I Was Raped by a Snowman.' That's not part of my repertoire now."
What is part of his repertoire now is a freewheeling style that can have Cook humping a sidestage mirror or cracking jokes while performing handstands by the end of a set. He veers wildly between innocuously goofy ideas, such as wondering what it would be like to have a pet ram, and comically graphic tales of sexual embarrassments. Sit too close, and you might find him singling you out as someone who's just as twisted as he is.
"My being aggressive onstage now is all a put-on, because I used to be the most introverted guy in school," Cook says. "I would get sick if I had to talk in front of the class. Then I'd go home and tell my dad I wanted to be a standup, and he'd say, 'Whoa, then you've really got to find your voice, to talk to people.' Once I figured this out, standup saved my life and gave me a life. I'll always support it and do it, no matter where my career takes me."
One place his career has taken him is to the hallowed stages of the late-night talk shows. He was thrilled to land a spot on the Late Show with David Letterman, but that evening he got an even greater surprise upon learning in his dressing room that Letterman was sick, and the backup host would be none other than Cook's childhood hero, Bill Cosby.
"I couldn't believe how nice he was," Cook says. "He came into my room, where I was sitting alone waiting for my family, and talked to me for a half-hour about comedy, and made me feel like I was special, just saying my name over and over, like 'Dane Cook! Dane Cook is in the house!'" He slides into a pitch-perfect rendition of the comedy legend. "Then, as I was about to start my routine on the air, he came up and hugged me and whispered, 'Massachusetts, baby! Go get 'em!' and I had the best set of my life. Because what could go wrong after that?"
Indeed, not much has gone wrong, and these days each show Cook does seems like smooth sailing. The key to his success, he explains, lies in an old Redd Foxx quote.
"Years ago, Redd said one of my all-time favorite comments in comedy: 'If you're likable, you can get away with saying anything,'" he says. "I realized I was likable, and I decided to see how far I could push people, and how much I could get away with. I love dark and Evil Dead ideas, and those go through my brain, so I feel I can go from friendly, warm, and relatable to bizarre and twisted, and people will go along for the ride. Thankfully, they have."

Baked Spaghetti Squash.Tuesday, February 21, 2012
Today was my first day trying out spaghetti squash. I started with an easy recipe I found on Steamy Kitchen. The recipe was very easy and it turned out really well. I had a bowl of it and am super full surprisingly. I think this is going to be my new favourite alternative to pasta.

Three Random Satsangs
ShiningWorld Reader
The Value of Vedanta
Chad: Dear James, it's going to be almost a year since I last made contact with you. A spate of events transpired between us, which regrettably took an unfortunate turn. But nonetheless, I am surprising myself by writing to you and realizing with such depth about all that I learnt from you. I just wanted to thank you once again for your teachings and this time my appreciation has greater depth and value because I have come back to your teachings after surveying many other teachings.
After the last time we made contact I took up Buddhism and studied all its myriad branches: Zen, Dzogchen, Madhyamika, Mahamudra and Vajrayana in particular. I even went in greater depth into Krishnamurti's teachings.
But the more I went into them the more I came back to Vedanta, its simplicity and its beauty. After a year I see how Vedanta manages to address every single aspect of human experience. And your book How to Attain Enlightenment remains one of the most lucid and comprehensive books on Vedanta I have come across. It has got everything in it. I say this after reading not less than hundreds of books on non-duality and browsing hundreds of websites.
I also realized how well I had learnt from you and your teachings, particularly the dialectics between knowledge and experience. After a year your teachings have started glowing in me, having gone through the furnace of life's experiences.
I trust you are doing and keeping well!
James: Dear Chad, lovely to hear from you. Anyone with discrimination who really understands the value of Vedanta, who has been taught properly and who has had a tour through the modern spiritual scene, cannot leave it or if they do they will come back sooner rather than later. It is not just another path, another teaching. It is a pathless path, the knowledge behind each and every path. A predominantly rajasic mind is never satisfied with what it has… it seeks more, better, different. When you understand your nature, the intellectual restlessness stops and you settle into a simple life, content with yourself alone. I stuck with Vedanta because there is nothing better. It will make you understand and it will purify your mind. As Krishna says, "There is no purifier like self-knowledge." There is nothing left to know, nothing left to do. Take it easy.
Chad: It is lovely to hear from you too. Thank you for your mail and for your words. They fall on my ears as if there was never any break!
You are right about the predominantly rajasic mind wanting more, better and different. And I did take a tour of the modern spiritual scene. I was fortunate to have been taught by you before I started the tour, otherwise I would have reached nowhere. I have a student who has accumulated such a mass of disparate concepts through his internet wanderings that it is all the more difficult for us to rid his half-baked concepts.
Also, I have settled for the simple life, content with myself, though I would like to have more unstructured time on my hands than what I am having at present.
Coincidentally, the base note that remained through all my wanderings was the statement you have quoted from Bhagavad Gita: "There is no purifier like self-knowledge." What I have come to realize is that even after self-knowledge, the illusion of experience (rajas and tamas) tend to obscure self-knowledge. One has to apply the knowledge again and again, to be patient… and this process may continue for years.
But I have reached an undoubted certainty that there is nothing to do and nowhere to go as everything is always whole and complete awareness, no matter what one's experience tends to say.
Even saying that there is an illusion that obscures awareness is actually a dualistic statement from the viewpoint of awareness. From the viewpoint of conditioned reality, it is true. In fact negotiating this paradox proves to be one of the trickiest aspects.
I just wanted to ask you whether there is a discrete point where the illusion drops so completely that there is no possibility of obscuration even from the perspective of the conditioned realm.
I really appreciate the fact that you replied despite your busy schedule. ☺
~ Love, Chad
James: Yes, definitely.
Chad: Dear James, thank you once again for your reply. I would be grateful if you could elaborate on this discrete happening. Is this not the point which should be called moksa from the conditioned reality perspective? How does one describe this experience? Is it a state of continuous bliss? In other places people have described this as a collapse of the illusory distinction between subject and object. What do you have to say to this?
James: It is not so much a happening as complete certainty that you are no longer influenced by desire/fear. Thinking in terms of what you personally want from objects finally dissolves. We call it "self-actualization," meaning you are actually the self, not a person who knows the self. It is moksa. But from the time that you realize who you are until this point you experience an increasing sense of freedom/bliss.
To say it is the "collapse" of the distinction between the subject and object depends on the reason. It is only moksa if you understand why the distinction between subject and object does not obtain. The "collapse" is the result of knowledge, nothing else. The distinction between subject and object collapses during epiphanies but "uncollapses" when the epiphany ends. It is the complete confidence that comes from hard and fast knowledge – from the intimate appreciation of one's wholeness.
"Collapse" is a dangerous experiential word that invokes implications that are not always accurate.
Chad: Thank you so much for this explanation. I have been seeking this explanation from many people and books but I have not got it as clearly and beautifully as you have mentioned in this mail. Yes, I agree that the word "collapse" is a dangerous word with experiential implications, which may be true for epiphanies but not for self-actualization.
Actually, I have never had any epiphany and that is the reason why this has been an area of unknowing. I feel that I am missing out on something. Of course after all my wanderings I have realized that this sense of missing out on something is the mother of all illusion. ☺ And self-knowledge is a great purifier for this illusion!

According to the "American Family Physician", each year as many as 45 million Americans travel abroad, with about 20 million of them spending time in rural areas or developing countries, locations where the risks of contracting an illness are great. A study of travelers illustrated that on a typical two-week trip, travelers "lost" an average of three days because of illness. Almost 20 percent of them remained ill after their return home, and 10 percent sought medical care for their illnesses.
Have you scheduled a visit to your doctor or a travel medicine provider?
Ideally, set up one up 4 to 6 weeks before your trip. Most vaccines take time to become effective in your body and some vaccines must be given in a series over a period of days or sometimes weeks. If it is less than 4 weeks before you leave, you should still see your doctor. You might still benefit from shots or medications and other information about how to protect yourself from illness and injury while traveling. The CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) divides vaccines for travel into three categories: routine, recommended, and required. While your doctor will tell you which ones you should have, it's best to be aware of them ahead of time.
Routine Vaccinations
Be sure that you and your family are up to date on your routine vaccinations. These vaccines are necessary for protection from diseases that are still common in many parts of the world even though they rarely occur in the United States. If you are not sure which vaccinations are routine, ask one of our physicians.
Recommended Vaccinations
These vaccines are recommended to protect travelers from illnesses present in other parts of the world and to prevent the importation of infectious diseases across international borders. The vaccination you need depends on your destination, whether you will be spending time in rural areas, the season of the year, your age, health status, and previous immunization history.
You can go to the CDC web-site and search by country to find out which vaccinations are recommended.
Required Vaccinations
The only vaccine required by International Health Regulations is yellow fever vaccination for travel to certain countries in sub-Saharan Africa and tropical South America. Meningococcal vaccination is required by the government of Saudi Arabia for annual travel during the Hajj.
For more information on travel vaccinations you can please go to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention web-site: http://www.cdc.gov/travel/.

If you've decided that 2wd campervan rental, Darwin is best going to best fit your time and budget constraints, then you should at least get to know some of the types of campervans that are available to rent in Darwin.
Vehicle Types for 2wd Campervan Rental Darwin
The range is pretty large as there are at least 16 different companies that do 2wd campervan rental in Darwin. Within this range of campervan rental companies you will find someone who can supply a vehicle for pretty much any budget. The cheaper end of the market is considered the "youth" market. The campervan rental companies that operate at this end tend to spend less money on the vehicles so they can keep costs down and pass the savings on to end-user. The most famous operator in this segment is Wicked Campers. Now operating the world over, the Wicked business model has been copied by others and there are now a number of companies operating in this space. The other main type of segment caters for the moderate budget where people require more creature comforts and cleanliness than the budget end tends to provide.
The Youth Market
The youth oriented campervan rental companies will supply all the basics you need in a campervan but not much more. Most the time they use cheaper base model vans (Mitsubishi) and have things like an esky (chilli bin, cooler box) rather than a fridge and portable water containers rather than one installed under the vehicle . In most cases the kitchen section is at the rear and you have to open the rear door to cook, access the esky and do the washing up. Or you take the cooking gear elsewhere like a park table. This market segment has the greatest reputation for breaking down and having general mechanical problems, however tends to have less complaints about the interior of the vehicle. My thoughts on this is just that the users have lower expectations on what to expect inside the vehicle as they are paying bargain basement prices.
Some companies in Darwin operating in this space are Wicked Campers, older model Travellers-Autobarn and older model Travel Wheels.
Mid Priced Mrket
By far the most competitive market-segment is the mid-priced, quality-vehicles in the 0-6 years old bracket. Nearly every company has at least one vehicle that fits this description. That being the case, it can have some great specials but it is also the most popular type of campervan rental segment meaning the most demand. There are at least 14 2wd campervan rental companies in Darwin that supply campervans like this. Here we are talking about hi-top campervans, normally manufactured using a Toyota Hiace containing an internal kitchen and sleeping 2,3 or 4 people. Despite the supply of this type of rental campervan, they will still tend to come in at above $80pd once all the extra insurances and other options are added on. There is no clear market leader that everyone is scrambling to use, but Britz is the company with the most amount of vehicles in this range. If you include the fact that the same company that owns Britz also owns Mighty Campers (used to be called Backpacker Campervans), then that company definitely has more campervans in this range than anyone else. A close second would be Apollo Campers (because they also own Cheapa Campa), then you move to the more medium-sized companies.
Low Tops and High-Tops
One of the biggest differences you will find between the cheaper 2wd campervan rental, Darwin and the more expensive is the height of the roofs. The cheaper rentals will have a "low top". This means that the roof height is the original height of the manufactured van. This will mean that you can't stand up straight in the back of the camper. If you are getting older or have mobility problems this might be a problem. It is also a pain if you are hanging out in the back whilst it is pouring rain and you just want to stand up and stretch. Anyway, these models are cheaper because the campervan rental company has not had to change the body of the camper externally. Low top = cheaper.
Hi-tops are generally more popular and as the name suggests, these rental campervans have a higher roof. The camper companies sheer off the original roof and put what looks like a fiberglass bathtub on top, upside down. This allows for extra storage above the driver, the option to sleep "upstairs" and hence sleep more people and also the chance to stand up straight inside the vehicle. Windows are normally installed in the upper section for extra viewing and the overall quality of living in the hi-top is better than the low top. Interiors of the vehicles will then depend on the manufacturer but most will come with and inside cooking area so you don't have to be outside getting sun burnt or rained on whilst you are cooking, unlike the low tops where you will be cooking outside with the rear door open.
Luxury Motorhome Hire
There are less companies operating in this space and there are not many of them in Darwin. However, if this the type of campervan rental Darwin that you are after, don't worry, they do exist. Both Maui and Around Australia Motorhomes have depots in Darwin and they can supply both luxury campervans and luxury motorhomes. Campervans tend to look more "van" shaped are generally built on vehicle models that can also be used as delivery vehicles. Motorhomes tend to be more custom-made from the ground up with internal living in mind and as such tend to be a little bigger. Whilst some luxury campervans have toilets and showers installed, they tend to live in the world of the motorhome. If you are in need of these amenities, you will have better luck doing a google search for Motorhome rather than campervan. That being said it is nearly all semantics. "Luxury" is the operative word here. These vehicles have lots of space, kitchens, often sleep 6, have showers and also internal toilets. One thing to be said about the internal toilet is that it has to be EMPTIED. If you are squirmish, then this might still be a problem for you. Whilst the best efforts are made with modern technology to keep this task as painless as possible, it is still sewage removal in the end.
Luxury motorhome travel is for those who really don't care about budget, but value comfort.
Overall there is 2wd campervan rental Darwin for any budget, you can even just rent a station wagon if you are looking to pitch a tent. However,it is still best to do some thorough research on the vehicle that is offered to you in a quote as every campervan rental company includes different things, charges different prices for extras and has probably modified their vehicle in such as way to make it just that tiny bit different from the others.

The holiday is particularly contentious, because it also marks the beginning of a decade-long occupation by Vietnamese forces.
"Hope for the Future," a new film by the Documentation Center of Cambodia, tells the story of Sek Say, a young girl who lost both parents to the Khmer Rouge.
A tribunal spokesman said the Supreme Court will determine whether Thet Sambath will testify or not, based on the law.
Chhang Youk, director of the Sleuk Rith Institute, said he named his research institute after the material in an effort to promote better understanding of Cambodia's identity, culture and history.
Sum Rithy was accused of spying for the Central Intelligence Agency—a common charge among Khmer Rouge—in the 1970s and imprisoned in Siem Reap.
The Khmer Rouge tribunal has ordered the appointments of two defense attorneys to represent jailed leader Khieu Samphan and break through an ongoing boycott of proceedings.
Khieu Samphan has refused to participate in the second phase of an atrocity crimes trial against him and fellow leader Nuon Chea.
The tribunal's international investigating judge is examining more than 10 crime sites for Case 003 and some 55 crime scenarios for Case 004.
Defense lawyer Kong Sam Onn told VOA Khmer his client had met with court officials from the Defense Support Section and told them "that his stance is not changed."
The second and final phase of the trial against Khieu Samphan and Nuon Chea are widely viewed as the court's most important case.
Prime Minister Hun Sen met with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the sideline of an Asean summit in Myanmar this wee, where they briefly discussed the Khmer Rouge tribunal.
Sleuk Rith will be the only institute in Asia dedicated to the study of genocide.

Sociology (minor)
What you will study
The sociology program is organized by different threads or dimensions:
- First are foundational courses that give you a basic overview of the field and some initial experience applying sociological ideas to work on specific features of our way of life. Here you see how sociology applies in all facets of human experience, from figuring out how people act and think online to how people from different social classes or cultural groups see each other. Some courses you take are Introduction to Social Science, Working in Diverse Groups, and Social Movements and Social Change.
- Next is the core in political economics. Some of the most important forces shaping how a society works are the society's economic and political systems. Because these are so central to what happens in society, you need to learn a lot about them. You are concerned about how people make their livings, where our economy is heading, who gets elected to office, and why political decisions are made. Courses here include American Politics and Economic Environment.
- You also focus a great deal on research and practice in the discipline. Sociology emphasizes the use of valid and reliable data to inform its discussions: this is a big part of what makes a sociologist different from others who may have social concerns but are not as aware of the facts needed to explore them carefully. You take courses in Behavioral Science Research Methods and Probability and Statistics, employing the latest computer technologies. You can even learn how to use data to create geographic maps to help others understand social trends, like crime rates, voting patterns, and changing attitudes and values. In various courses you learn interviewing skills. You also do a mentored internship at a site related to the discipline and your career goals, where you can practice using your sociological observation and analytical skills to meet your internship learning goals and gain experience in seeing how to apply sociology in the workplace. You also learn how to translate your sociological skills into running programs to tackle social issues, through courses like Fundraising and Grant Writing or Program Evaluation. The Alverno research and practice curriculum is very strong and often helps graduates get jobs or enter graduate school.
- You take a variety of topic courses that you choose to enhance your individual interests. You choose the ones most interesting to you and most relevant to your life. Some courses from which to choose are The Family, Criminology, Case Management, Community Development, American Political Behavior, Comparative Social Policy, Cross-Cultural Social Psychology, and several others.
|Sociology Support Intermediate
|Social Movements & Social Change
|Economic Environment
|American Politics
|Sociology Support Advanced
|Families and Society
|or SOC-321
|Criminology & Social Justice
|Take 6 credits of 300/400 level SOC electives

Forex and stocks – this is an intermarket correlation that we have been anticipating to talk about for a long time as these two have always been standing together. Two of the most popular asset groups are bound to be tied together and we are to learn in what way we can profit off studying both of them and their relations between each other.
Relations between forex and stock markets
Well, that is the everlasting question. The basic rule is as follows: when national stocks of a particular country rise, the confidence in the strength of the national currency rises just as well as the demand for that vey national currency. And demanded currency tends to rise against all of the other foreign currency in the international market.
And of course vice versa – weak stock market makes national currency fall which leads to the poor performance in the forex market.
The only problem here is that there is no way to say whether the correlation between the national currency and the stock market is negative or positive, e.g. whether they move together in one direction or in the opposite directions.
In order to understand the connection between the two markets we are going to have to look at every currency couple and every stock index separately. The only thing that can make the process of making this whole thing out is the fact that world stock markets in the world usually move in the same direction. The only thing for us left to do is to apply all that we have ever learned to analyze of every chart compared to each other. Only then we are going to make sense of the nature of forex-stocks relationship.

Khloe Kardashian: Don't Abandon Lamar Odom – He's A Broken Man
Khloe – You witnessed first hand how incredibly freaked out Lamar was after being dumped by the LA Lakers. It was like he was being abandoned by his "family" – You can't ever do that to him!
It's amazing that Lamar Odom let the 'Khloe & Lamar' TV cameras in on how deeply hurt he felt after being tossed off his beloved LA Lakers.
On last night's (April 22nd) episode of 'Khloe & Lamar', the once confident basketball star admits to a serious case of nervous stomach and even begins to cry, when he has to return to his old home – the Staples Center in LA- to face off against the Lakers in one of his very first games for the Dallas Mavericks.
Lamar was abandoned by his father when he was a young child, then his mom died and finally the grandmother who raised him died when he was just a teenager. He grew up suffering from one abandonment after another. Clearly, he felt like the Lakers, where he was part of the team for seven years, became his surrogate family. That's why when he was unexpectedly traded away to the Dallas Mavericks, it was for more than just a business deal. Lots of sports stars are traded every year from team to team and yes, it's just business as usual, but not for Lamar with his abandonment issues.
That's why it's so critical, Khloe, that you are there for your husband, even if he's tried to push you away or blame you now for losing his Dallas Mavericks job.
You may not have realized it at the time when Lamar proposed to you, but I bet he was almost as in love with your family as you. He NEVER had a real family growing up. You certainly have one that's more than big enough for the both of you.
Now, it's true that the filming of 'Khloe & Lamar' may have distracted Lamar from focusing on playing for the Dallas Mavericks, but it also may be that he was deeply mourning the loss of his first real family, the Lakers, and there's no way he can pin that distraction on you.
You certainly were focused on his feelings in last night's episode. And you do very clearly realize that you are married to an intensely sensitive man. Lamar Odom may be a 6'10″ athlete, but inside he's a vulnerable and needy little boy still, and you do understand that.
"I'm having a minor panic attack," you say while waiting for the Lakers vs. Mavericks game to start at the Staples Center. "But it's not about me. It's about Lamar and I know he has enough nerves and anxiety for the both of us."
Lamar admits his stomach is rumbling and "I'm damn nervous," before the big, traumatic game. He even breaks into tears when Kris Jenner comes by backstage to wish him good luck.
This is a man who is deeply vulnerable when he is let down by loved ones. Earlier in the episode his best friend Jamie also hurts his feelings when he makes it seem like he misses the VIP perks of being Lamar's friend more than Lamar himself, now that Lamar has moved to Dallas.
And Khloe, you stepped in and protected Lamar, telling Jamie face to face that he had hurt Lamar's feelings.
Thankfully by the end of the episode Jamie called Lamar to apologize and to tell him he would be his friend forever, even if Lamar was "a janitor."
Then in the thrill of a lifetime for Lamar, he got a standing ovation from the Lakers fans, a welcome back sign on the JumboTron and a video of his Laker's career highlights.
Khloe, you said: "I am so happy for Lamar. It's like a thank you for all the hard work and gratitude for the years you gave us." And as for Lamar, he said, it "made me want to perform."
Sadly, Lamar didn't keep that momentum up after this episode. Khloe, I guess one standing ovation and a video couldn't make up for all his deep seated hurt.
But that's all the more reason, why you need to keep standing by Lamar, whether he's ever an NBA star again or becomes a janitor. That's what marriage is all about and only your unconditional love can save Lamar.

Sometimes Facebook can be a true frustration for pages. I am sure you will have noticed that we actually rebranded months ago BUT Facebook denied our Facebook name request.
We then set up a new page but the point to it was frustrating as it means starting from the beginning again. After months of waiting for Facebook then decided to change our name to the lovely OUTFOX! So now we have gone back to our old page and currently working on getting it up to date. The other will hopefully be merged but at the moment we have to wait at leat 4 weeks.
We understand why Facebook has its rules but when it takes a long period of time it leaves our clients confused and us.
Apologies for the confusion.
This is the page you need to be following for any updates, behind the scenes, news, products and there will be some networking in the near future…

You'd be hard-pressed to find Chanel, Brooks Brothers or Kanye West's Yeezy line on Sproul Plaza or other UC Berkeley campus runways.
Since the university's 1868 founding, Cal students have tended to favor comfort and creativity over designer labels and Ivy League uniforms.
That's not to say they don't have a sense of style. Quite the contrary.
Take the early 1870s when the University of California's inaugural female class spurned ultra-tight corsets, frills and rear-enhancing bustles in favor of a more serious look that included long narrow skirts, high-neck blouses and long hair pinned up and tucked into straw boaters or battered top hats known as "plugs."
Over the following decades, Cal coeds' hemlines and necklines went up and down and menswear became increasingly less formal, but each sartorial era maintained a sense of whimsy.
As UC Berkeley marks its 150th anniversary at a Charter Day celebration at Haas Pavilion and Spieker Plaza this Friday, March 23, campus culture and history can be tracked through changing student fashion styles documented in Blue and Gold yearbooks, among other archival collections, a sampling of which can be seen in the video above.
Berkeley Law archivist William Benemann, a UC Berkeley alumnus and curator of the 2008 exhibit "From Plugs to Bling: A Century of Cal Student Fashion" likes to point out that "clothing connects people to the past on a very emotional level."
From late Victorian attire to the varsity jackets and poodle skirts of the 1950s to today's shredded skinny jeans, crop tops and rainbow-colored hairdos, UC Berkeley students have added their own sartorial twists to the fashions of the day to reflect changing cultural and political attitudes.

There have been a number of challengers to Tivo's share of the DVR (Digital Video Recorder) market. But until now, Tivo always had a partnership with DirecTV to supplement its offerings in the "Stand Alone" market. And, for months, there have been stories that the partnership may be in danger.
Last night, a more comprehensive story was published detailing DirecTV's plans to release its own DVR device. With that, DirecTV will continue to offer Tivo boxes, but only to customers who request them. Some say this will be the end of Tivo.
But while DirecTV has been working to ostracize Tivo in order to better its bottom line, Tivo has been working on a deal with cable giant, Comcast. This deal could mark a substantial foothold on a new and larger market for Tivo. But several problems leave Tivo in jeopardy.
First of all, the DirecTV transition to its own of DVR is planned as early as October of 2005. Tivo's deal with Comcast is slated to take place near the end of 2006.
Secondly, Tivo has always struggled to support high-definition. Currently Tivo offers one HD unit and it works only with DirecTV's current satellites, not its newly launched birds. The HD Tivo sold for over a year for $999.99 and has only recently dropped to around the $600 price range. This prices it beyond the budget of the majority of customers.
Comcast and Tivo have plans to support HD as soon as they start distributing product in late 2006, but DirecTV plans to offer HD support on its DVR in early 2006. All of this could spell trouble for Tivo. But, at the same time, Tivo has some things going for it.
Comcast currently offers its own brand of DVR. And the reason that it has decided to partner with Tivo? Comcast's DVR is buggy and difficult to use. On the other side, Tivo is renown for both its powerful features and its ease of use. And since no one has yet seen the DirecTV offering, and given the fact that last nights story on usatoday.com clearly indicates that DirecTV is still "tweaking the software," it seems they have yet to get the user experience right.
For my money, I will remain loyal to Tivo. I am upset that DirecTV wants to abandon the platform, though I do look forward to seeing the feature set of the new devices. Competition is never a bad thing for the consumer.
Why am I so loyal to Tivo? A couple of reasons… First, I have used other offerings in the market and I have been unimpressed. Secondly, I have used Tivo for years and am still constantly impressed with its features and ease of use. And lastly, if my father and grandmother can become fluent in the operation of a Tivo in a matter of 2 hours, anyone can do it. I think that goes a very long way in explaining Tivo's ease of use… even though you don't know my family. :-)

Setting The Stage
The first performer to grace the stage at the new Amphitheater this summer will be none other than Aretha Franklin.
Jordan Steves, Chautauqua Institution interim vice president of Marketing and Communications and director of communications, said the institution is honored to welcome Franklin to the new facility. She recently announce she will be retiring later in the year, which will make the sold out June 24 performance one of her last, Steves said.
"We start out 2017 with a bang with Aretha Franklin," he said. "We can't think of a better way to start out a new era with a new Amp."
The new Amphitheater is still under construction, but the progress is going well, Steves said.
"We are really looking forward to starting a new season with the new Amphitheater," he said. "Things are going really well. The weather has been really cooperative for the most part … we're on schedule if not a little bit ahead."
As for the construction, currently, the crews are working on finishing the concrete in the bowl of the structure, while other members of the crew are installing the ceiling which will be reminiscent of the old Amphitheater ceiling. Steves said roof work is also continuing on the metal roof.
In the back-of-house, he said a lot of finish work is being done, such as installing fixtures, mechanical, electrical and plumbing work.
"That's all been progressing very well," Steves said.
Steves said the institution administration is "exceedingly optimistic" that the project will be completed in time for the opening of the season. Likewise, the Jamestown High School graduation will be the first public event held in the new Amphitheater, he said.
All-County Spring Festival has been moved to the State University of New York at Fredonia as the timeline was a little too tight, Steves said. However, he said the hope is it is a temporary relocation.
"When you have a campus as big as ours, there is always something to maintain," he said. "I don't think, at least in my time working at Chautauqua, there will ever be as big of a project as the Amphitheater project."

Removing wallpaper is no easy task, and even after you have all of the paper down, the dried paste is often left on the walls. In order to paint or apply new wallpaper, you must remove the old paste. The good news is that the hard part is done once you have the paper off -- removing the dried paste is a quick job with the right products and methods.
Fill an empty spray bottle with a wallpaper removal solution. Don't waste money buying a commercial wallpaper stripper. Make your own by mixing 1 litre (32 fl oz) of hot water with the liquid fabric softener or baking soda. Put the lid on the bottle and shake.
Spray a generous coating of the wallpaper removal solution on the paste residue. Let it sit for 10 minutes, and then use a putty knife to scrape off the glue. Wipe off the putty knife with a rag after each scrape.
Continue this process of spraying on the solution, letting it sit and then scraping off the dried paste until all the paste is gone.
Fill a bucket with 4.5 litres (1 gallon) of water as hot as you can stand it. Add 500 ml (2 cups) of white vinegar.
Dip a sponge into the bucket and wring it out. Wash any remaining residue from the walls with the sponge and vinegar solution. Rinse and wring out the sponge often. Let the wall air dry completely before you apply paint, wallpaper or any other type of treatment.

Innovation has always improved the cause of humanity. Innovation in the past has allowed civilisations to interact with each other, explore undiscovered parts of the world and even for man to go out into space and set foot on the moon. Below, we will look at some of the best innovation ideas throughout history, and for the future.
At the time, no innovation did more to spread knowledge, than the Printing Press. Developed by Johannes Gutenberg in 1440, it improved on the existing methods of printing press, and allowed up to 3600 pages per day to be printed. By 1600, 2.2 million new books were created thanks for the printing press. Many say that the printing press gave rise to the period of enlightenment in Europe, which progressed technology and knowledge at an unprecedented rate.
First invented in China in 206 BC, magnetic compasses hugely impacted the world. It became the primary method of navigating, and with its help, gave rise to the Age of Discovery, in which continents were discovered. This allowed interaction between many civilisations that were isolated from the rest of the world.
Many possible innovation ideas have been put forward that will be groundbreaking, and some which will make life convenient for many around the world. A new innovation being touted as a possible way in which to tackle global warming and world hunger is laboratory-grown beef. In Maastricht Univeristy in the Netherlands, Professor Mark Post unveiled the first lab grown hamburger last year in 2014. The goal, he states, is to meet the ever-growing demand for meat, with meat production to grow by 72% in 2030. The technology utilizes stem cells, and Professor Post estimates it is still 20 years until this innovation is suitable for mass production.
Another possible innovation that could change the world is edible food packaging. This innovation could drastically reduce landfills and have a positive effect on the environment. It is estimated that in the US alone, 2.5 million plastic bottles are thrown away every hour. This would drastically reduce the amount of waste. The technology, called WikiCells, is an edible skin that replaces plastic packaging and protects the content inside. There is however, issue with the costs of such technology, so it is still several years away before becoming mainstream and affordable.
Humans have constantly innovated to advance the cause of humanity, many innovations have also led to terrible consequences, but many lead to an improvement in people's lives, and further innovations continue to better the cause of humanity.

I post reports from Tug Hill, but that is a difficult area to report, with many clubs on different grooming schedules.The full northern corridor from Cochrane to Hearst is good."Hats off" to all western NY club members for working tirelessly year after year preparing trail systems in our increasingly crappy climate so we can ride 7 to 10 days a season. But it now looks possible that we might not be done with local riding for the year.Hardly seems worth it anymore, so the guys who do all the work deserve enormous credit. Rather than a state wide system with trails maintained in all traditional snow belt communities for so little riding, this may become strictly a trailer sport with regional efforts to maintain good trails in the few places that get enough snow to make it worth while. Things would have to fall just right, but at least we are freezing up again this weekend, with cold temps and little insulating snow cover, hence the ground is freeing up. Old Forge is reporting "good", with some inner trails "great".Trail reports are usually current, if not very detailed.Colden Trail Riders This club has been doing a great job, especially the past two seasons.
I will post reports of truly GREAT riding conditions from anyplace. Partly because I am a senior citizen and not as strong as I once was, if I am going to ride, I want conditions to be excellent.That's what this website is all about - reporting when and where you can find a truly great ride!Still a few open mud and water holes, but most trails freezing up nicely. NOTE: We ARE in Western NY; get out and ride before next Wednesday. I hope to go out with a couple of old friends now and then for a ride. A stretch of the "A" trail in Ontario between Smooth Rock Falls and Moonbeam, west of Cochrane, is still showing "Open".There are NOAA indications in the long range of a possible major warm up late next week. Tri-County is often one of the first to open, and they are out grooming, but I don't know if they will survive this rain. I'm getting a little old, but I plan to do my best to maintain this site for at least another season. Trails opening on the 20th; if we don't have too much of a thaw this week! We've certainly had a nice early season cold snap and plenty of snow. There is another short section near Wawa in far western Ontario still showing as open. Ontario is open with good trail conditions in the Cochrane area including the Abitibi Canyon loop.Most western NY trails are now open, including Tri-County, Colden Trail Riders, and Oatka. But expect spotty grooming, occasional water and mud, and other issues for several days while the trail crews catch up. Some trails are open limited north of Kirkland Lake, but everything from Kapuskasing to Hearst is now closed."Hello, we from the Rushford snowmobile club would like to thank you for all you do for us snowmobilers!!!!Even with yet another terrible year, you keep everyone updated and it's greatly appreciated.Hope for a great summer, which will lead to a cold and snowy winter." Oatka, Tri-County, and Sardinia trails are listed as open as of today. Conditions are still excellent in the far north around Cochrane.

i second that holy emotion
Yeah its vacuous but i cant help but comment on the real life Twilight drama that has kicked off this week, mostly because its popping up on feeds all over the place. Bella cheated on the vampire with a married man, a director surprisingly….Now cheating is bad in any circumstance but forgive me for thinking its a little more serious if your married and have two kids, so why am i only hearing how she fucked up, Holy Moly says exactly what ive been thinking but way more wittier…
Forgive us for moralising, and all that, but doesn't it seem like Rupert has gotten off very bloody lightly? K-Stew's the one getting called a bitch and a slut on Twitter, and possibly having to write a letter of apology to Liberty Ross, because apparently it is a far worse crime to be 22, a bit daft, and cheat on your boyfriend than to be, you know, a married father of two, screwing a girl practically half your age?
the eternal fly……
Saw this in the news yeaterday made me smile, Yasuhiro Suzukis' Zip Boat…the seas like a huge pair of jeans!
Yay, Im an unconfirmed report!!
That link in blue on the last paragraph is to my page….tee hee
So last week the great no show Ghostface saga was the hot news. Riot Jazz booked him and then him and his DJ go and get themselves arrested at Heathrow. Kind of big news i thought seeing as he's a Wu member and his new album is out on the 16th, however now where on the internet or in the black music media was this covered apart from on the facebook event page and my blog…. Flattering or obvious then that Nah Right link my blog story to his arrest as an unconfirmed report!! Tee hee, unconfirmed!?! It makes me sound like a gossip…me an idle gossip……really i never heard such nonsense. the report came straight from the promoter and was then backed up by his agent who i heard from eventually at the end of the week…im a broadcaster not a gossip, i thank you (and Nelliarmous for the contact!

Esteem enhancing with flash animations
The idea of glimmer is seen and utilized by every one of us in a few or the other time in our normal lives. Macromedia streak software is principally in charge of giving such a preposterous look to the glimmer animation. The records that are gone along and are in .swf configuration can be made to use by the assistance of glimmer player or can likewise be keep running in HTML documents. You can likewise make them in gif animations design, the choices in streak animation are perpetual. The idea of 2 dimensional designs can likewise be managed ease through glimmer animation software. You can investigate and alter the question's exercises through things like obscuring, transforming, detonating, advances, movement twinning et cetera. Alternatives are many to be investigated given you should know how to do it. The characters in streak animation can be given movement by outline by outline alternative.
Such ideas are extremely useful in giving legitimate associations that have activity catches to motion picture cuts for doing animation. You can witness its ubiquity status in the media like the film business, TV, sites, and so forth. If there should be an occurrence of sites streak animations can be utilized apropos in web based publicizing, flags, and so forth with utilizing. In the event that connection is the primary concern that you need to do than .swf documents are great animating character after effects alternative. Here you can do click activities and mouse activities moreover.
You can put in many highlights in the blaze record that involves voice over, sound documents, ambient melodies, and so forth. Animations that are joined by sounds and voice are a treat for the eyes. Such blaze animations require more measure of memory space and furthermore require additional opportunity to get stacked online into the PC memory. Components like bitmaps, raster pictures, recordings, vector based illustrations, and so forth can be put inside the blaze animation introduction. The lucidity of vector illustrations is vastly improved than raster pictures. The utilization of Macromedia streak is generally utilized as a part of things like music players, online kid's shows, web toons, and so forth.

No Till Notes - "What a Mess"

By Mark Watson, Panhandle No-Till Educator
I was visiting with neighbors a few weeks ago about the bountiful harvest we were having in our area on our irrigated crops. The sugar beet and edible bean harvests were both above average in yield provided you had the irrigation water necessary to keep the crop in good shape. The early corn harvest yields were also showing an above average corn harvest could be expected.
The following week "The Wind" came roaring through our region for a couple of days. The airport weather station reported 77 mile per hour winds. I heard wind speeds as high as 84 miles per hour on a neighbor's weather station. It wasn't just the strength of the wind speed but also the duration with this type of hurricane force wind blowing for an extended period of time. The severest part of this wind storm lasted for at least 15 hours.
The devastation to this region's irrigated corn crop was severe. Losses of 100 plus bushels per acre were common. Producers that were hardest hit are reporting yields in the 25 to 70 bushels per acre range where pre wind yields were 200 plus bushels per acre. The economic loss to our area producers is in the millions of dollars.
I haven't talked to anyone who can recall a loss of corn yield this significant from wind. It isn't uncommon for corn to receive some loss from wind damage at harvest time, but I don't think anyone expected a yield loss like we saw with this wind.
Producers are trying different methods of harvesting to recover some of the yield loss by going through the fields a second time with side rakes and putting the remaining corn in windrows to try and pick up some of the lost corn that is on the ground. These extra field operations are expensive to perform and the results of this additional expense have been to recover only a portion of the yield loss.
An additional problem created by "The Wind" will be all the volunteer corn that will be in these fields next year. Additional herbicides will be required to control all the volunteer corn that will be a problem in the following crops planted in these fields.
Maybe it's time we started giving our winds a name similar to the way hurricanes are named along the coasts. The wind we experienced this fall has definitely created a financial hardship to producers in our region and these types of wind storms may be worthy of a name. I'm not sure how you go about getting name recognition for a wind. These types of wind storms are such a significant part of our lives in the High Plains and leave behind economic hardship when they blow through our region.

Oneida – hit a real Krautrock trip, a hypnotic repetition which left me smiling inanely throughout their entire set – superb!
AutoLux – sported the best girl drummer I've seen in years and a sumptuous vocalist to boot, her spikes laid into the dirty bass and gnarly guitar. My internals were rearranged by a steady speaker thump which made me almost bring back my mushy peas. The feedback shapes the bassist was making scarred the mind beautifully in Pollock like splashes.
Hawk and Hacksaw - Employed two extra additions to their group - and boy, this was without doubt the best I have ever seen them. Lots of different tones in there, dulcimeric hammering, with astounding trumpet, breathing its silk over the violin / accordion / percussive whole – saturated, Eastern… gorgeous. The dental floss violin playing was a nice touch too.
The Paranoid Critical Revolution minus Glenn Branca – was EVIL guitar / drum sickness, a phenomenally loud shrieking beast, tunes reduced to metal fingers scraping fret - instrument as pure apocalypse.
Julian Cope – Loved this guy, growing old disgracefully. Stage full of vintage speaker stacks… this man really knows how to rock. Big, bulky and super-charged, with some 'Tear-Drop Explodes' being thrown in there, suitably skewered of course. The new material really did sound agreeably lush and sprawling - Must get myself a copy.
Portishead – was the only gripe of the day, for some reason only silver wrist bands were allowed in – why!!! We had no idea, not a peep about it in the time-table.
Watched Seasick Steve instead - a super amped blues delight, his one string Diddley Bow (of Bo Diddley fame ) carving up the disappointment...
I was feeling pretty ropey at this point, my lumbar region feeling the strain of standing up for more than 8hrs. Eyes feeling like clay stabbed holes - exorcising the evil sensations onto paper – the scribbled self portrait (suitably rough n ready) worked a treat – left me feeling mysteriously better.
After a quick burst of the 'The Heads', it was over to the Red Stage to catch Thought Forms, who gave a really enjoyable set. Slow starting from a carpet of ether forms and magnetic instability, festival nerves and a few technical problems were thoroughly dispersed as the guitars and drums fused together pleasingly. Song riff's steadily grew in intensity, quickly released to colourful slaughter.
Deej and Charlie throwing themselves around the shapes, the drums forging a path, flash lit. Really loved that 'we would be so happy' track that ended the set - the vocals creeping over those spangled guitar lines, sedately acknowledging a storm was a brewin , slivers of expectation then licked knife capillary blister, grrrrring guitar filling your head with plucked butterfly wings, something pictures will always fail to capture. As Mr Olivetti put it earlier in the day – this is what life's all about…

Ha this may be because Nick Cave said earlier this year (at the Dirty Three curated one) it was kinda silly to play 4 sets (2 Cave/2 Grinderman) on two days for the same people... Which wasn't true because it gave me the opportunity to see other stuff...

|30 seconds to liftoff
We made it. We arrived in Nova Scotia 1 week ago. I had planned on writing several entries since my last posting but they would likely have been more end of career musings and hopefulness about a better life. I am happy to say we don't have to slosh our way through those few weeks of uncertainty and ramblings. We have in fact arrived at our new home and are settling in nicely.
So much to figure out and so much to do, but we are taking our time and trying to enjoy the early part of this journey with the kids just as much as we hope to enjoy the weeks to come.
|Beach run 1 week in
Landed a contract job with my employer. About $400 a week. 3 months and then we see where we stand. I don't anticipate the contract lasting beyond Christmas. I even got a cake on my last day of work (which did not feel different than the 2nd or 3rd last day).
Next up is getting my parents out here in 2 weeks time. I drive back to Ontario to oversee their move and get them on a plane out here where they will rent a house close by until they eventually move into one that will be built on our land. Exciting stuff that will likely unfold much slower than originally planned. At least they will be out here.
It's a different world out here in the middle of nowhere. No planes flying overhead...no sirens in the background (and this was suburbia we are talking about).You can see the stars at night. You can hear your thoughts clearly and you can breathe. I remember my youngest saying to me months ago that she wanted to move to a place that had fields she could run in. She finally has it.

'Rapping' Up the Grammy Awards
The Grammy Award Show is one of the most exciting award shows of the year. Every music artist waits for the day they get to attend the show. This year the award show was held on January 28th, 2018 at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Late Late Show's host James Corden doubled as the host for the Grammy Awards this year, and contributed a very funny component to the show.
Bruno Mars took home the big win this year with six awards. Everything Mars was nominated for he won, which is a huge accomplishment. He won three awards for his song "That's What I Like," which came out in 2016 as a single. The catchy toon won the Song of the Year, Best R&B Song, and Best R&B Performance. Mars released his album "24K Magic" with his winning single on January 30th, 2017. "24K Magic" won the awards for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and the Best R&B Album. Freshman Guadalupe Silva is a huge fan of Bruno Mars."I am so excited for Bruno and his wins!" she says.
Kendrick Lamar left the award show with a grand total of four awards. Two of those awards went to his hit song "HUMBLE", for he won the Best Rap Performance and the Best Rap Song. He also won the Best Rap/Sung Performance award for his song "Loyalty"and the Best Rap Album award for "Damn."
Everyone's favorite ginger, Ed Sheeran, won two well respected awards. One for his album ÷ (Divide) and his song "Shape of You." The Best New Artist this year is Alessia Cara. Some of her most popular songs are "Stay" and "Scars to Your Beautiful." One of the largest upsets at this year's show was the fact that Cardi B did not receive an award. Freshman Jaidyn Barnes says "Cardi B did an amazing job performing with Bruno Mars. I'm very upset and think it's dumb she didn't win a Grammy."
Many students found that this year's show did not meet the standards of past years. They were bored and thought it lacked compared to prior years. According to Freshman Audrey Morganstern, "the Grammy Show was kind of dry this year."

Volunteer Rangers
Volunteers play an important part in management and improvement of outdoor recreation in the Dublin Mountains. The DMP has a range of volunteer programs, working with a number of organisations and individuals.
The Adopt-A-Trail programme is one way you can adopt your own trail and help give something back to the land! This is a cooperative effort between the Dublin Mountains Partnership and public landowners, primarily Coillte, over whose land most of the trails pass. A small group of two to three people can put in to apply for Adopt-A-Trail. No previous experience is required, only an interest and ability to maintain trails by cutting back overgrown brush, cleaning drainage structures, and checking and maintaining waymarking and signage. The aim is to keep your trail in the best possible condition for hiker use and trail longevity.
The DMP would like to invite YOU to be part of this exciting and innovative initiative.

Between 23-25 November 2011, Motormen of the Western Railways, organized under the banner of the Western Railway Motormen's Association, went on a work to rule agitation. This resulted in disruption of the normal running of trains. They were protesting against the suspension of a motorman for crossing a signal at a platform.
Due to the dislocation of services which resulted, the authorities were forced to call the motormen and their association for talks. It was only after an assurance that their demands would be looked into that the motormen withdrew their agitation.
It may be recalled that in February 2006, the Railway Management amended the existing rules and introduced Amendment Slip No 203, whereby, the motorman was solely responsible for observing the platform signals. Prior to this amendment, this responsibility was jointly shared by the motorman and the guard.
Following this amendment, 4 motormen have been suspended from service and the latest and fifth one was on 23rd November 2011. It must be pointed out that if a motorman crosses a signal he is immediately suspended from service.
It has been a long standing demand of the motormen that they are provided with an assistant motorman. Motormen have to observe 125 signals in a trip from Churchgate to Virar. In a day he has to look out for 400-500 signals. This is apart from observing the tracks, where people frequently cross. It was grossly unfair to burden him with more duties. MEL has in several articles highlighted the severely stressful condition in which the motormen and the engine drivers of the Indian Railways have to work.
It may be recalled that twenty years ago the Railways employed 20 lakh people. In the last twenty years, this number has come down to 13 lakhs. The number of Class IV employees has reduced by half. The number of Class 3 employees (which include motormen and engine drivers) has remained the same while the number of officers has doubled! The number of trains have also multiplied.
This is a direct result of the anti worker policy followed by the railway management. MEL fully supports the just demands of the motormen and engine drivers of Indian Railways.

SXSW Film 2010 Preview | Part 1
The Loved Ones, NY Export: Opus Jazz, A Different Path, For Once in My Life, Erasing David, Crying with Laughter, The Phantom of Liberty II, Beijing Taxi
By Dave Campbell | March 10, 2010
As I mentioned yesterday, we are kicking off our SXSW coverage with previews to the films that were selected into the 2010 Film Festival. Today we have eight reviews from the fingers of our Senior Contributing Writer, Don Simpson. Check out the excerps below and click the links to see the full reviews. Stay tuned for more previews as we inch closer to March 12th opening day to SXSW Film 2010.
Loved Ones, The | Review
"The Loved Ones, a brilliantly creepy feature-length debut from writer-director Sean Byrne, is sure to please some of the more discerning horror fans out there with its brains, creativity and visual panache. From my estimation The Loved Ones is prone to become a "midnight movies" cult favorite ala Sam Raimi's Evil Dead trilogy, and Peter Jackson's Dead Alive and Bad Taste."
NY Export: Opus Jazz | Review
"At 43-minutes long, NY Export: Opus Jazz ends before it ever has the chance to become tedious or boring. For that I am thankful! With no dialogue, the narrative – as abstract as it might be – is communicated via the combination of dance, Robert Prince's score, colors, locations and camerawork. Admittedly, I am not really a fan of ballet or Robert Prince's brand of jazz, but NY Export: Opus Jazz held me under a hypnotic spell for its entire duration."
A Different Path | Review
"Director Monteith McCollum utilizes abstract animated images that are cleverly intertwined with the stories of Richard Dyksterhuis, Michael Johnson, Dan Hughes and Miguel Cameos. Even the interviews themselves attempt to stay clear of the conventional talking head format as much as possible, preferring to use carefully crafted yet somewhat random images whose intent is to captivate and amaze rather than bore (which talking heads are prone to do) the viewer."
For Once in My Life | Review
"For Once in My Life features both heartaches and triumphs; it will cause just as many smiles and laughs as it does tears. When you think of the way disabled people are treated in our society as a whole and how they are often segregated, if not totally forgotten, it is amazing to see these 29 people performing music at as high a caliber as professional musicians with absolutely no disabilities. If anything, it is because of the challenges that they face every day that they are able to get even closer to musical perfection. For Once in My Life is proof that people with disabilities should be given the same opportunities as everyone else. If you close your eyes while listening to The Spirit of Goodwill Band, I guarantee that you would never know that any of the members were disabled."
Erasing David | Review
"For better or worse, Erasing David also exemplifies just how paranoid and delusional even the most innocent of people can become by having their privacy invaded. (Bond visits with a therapist on multiple occasions during Erasing David in an attempt to deal with his paranoia and delusions.) There are several occasions that Bond offers up a mental breakdown for the camera, but unfortunately these scenes feel as contrived (read: acted) as footage from The Blair Witch Project (in fact, the nighttime mud hut footage plays like an outtake from The Blair Witch Project)."
Crying with Laughter | Review
"Written and directed by Justin Molotnikov, Crying with Laughter is as brutally violent and emotionally raw as Joey's stand-up. To paraphrase Joey, Crying with Laughter is about "abuse, kidnap, torture; just the average Saturday night in Scotland." But, in all actuality, Crying with Laughter is about revenge; whether one is willing to resort to violence (even murder) in order to punish someone for past deeds or if the past can truly be forgiven, maybe even forgotten. Crying with Laughter is by no means an easy film to watch, but several of the plot's twists and turns are executed quite masterfully and McCole's lead performance is chillingly sincere."
Phantom of Liberty II, The | Review
"Phantom of Liberty II reveals to us how various people perceive time as well as history. We have the opportunity to spend a slice of time with different types of people – and thanks to indiscriminate time loops we sometimes get to spend the same exact slice of time with multiple people in different places."
Beijing Taxi | Review
"This is not just a documentary about taxi drivers; Beijing Taxi functions on a much higher level as well. Wang rarely settles down for talking head interviews; instead she takes to the streets – by foot and by car – to reveal the real Beijing. We witness firsthand what modernity and Capitalism are doing to China's capital city. Bai goes to a "low cost hospital for ordinary citizens." It seems like everyone in Beijing smokes cigarettes. Billboards for foreign products are everywhere."

Michel Mulder, Ronald Mulder win gold, bronze in speedskating as Netherlands sweep
SOCHI, Russia — Twin brothers Michel and Ronald Mulder once shared a womb, they still share a face and now they both share the distinction of being Olympic speed skating medalists.
Along with teammate Jan Smeekens, the brothers led the Netherlands to a clean sweep of the men's 500-meter speedskating finals in front of a capacity crowd at Sochi's Adler Arena.
With just one race to go and both brothers in position to medal after their respective runs, Smeekens — the leader after one round of racing — finished in 34.72 seconds, for a total time between both runs of 69.32 seconds, just .01 behind Michel's gold medal-winning combined time of 69.31.
After crossing the line, Smeekens — knowing he had gold to lose — looked toward the scoreboard. When the trio of racers realized they had swept, the celebration began.
Michel immediately placed a hand over his heart, then let out a primal scream before rushing to his training partner and fellow competitor Daniel Greig of Australia. The two athletes wrapped their arms tightly around one another for a long and emotional embrace as tears welled in their eyes.
Greig, who was expected to compete for a medal at Sochi, fell at the line in his first race, eliminating him from contention in the second round.
With tears still in his eyes, Greig said how much his training partner and best friend deserved gold.
"We finished gold and bronze at the World Championships (in Nagano, Japan) last month," he said. "I knew after I fell that he could win it and he deserved it. We trained so hard."
Following the embrace with Greig, the Mulder brothers circled the track together, Michel bending at the waist while covering his face as Ronald placed a hand on the small of his back and smiled. Michel regained his composure for a second lap with the flag draped across his shoulders before tearing open his speedsuit and pounding his chest — a proclamation that the Netherlands owned the night.
Ronald Mulder delivered the evening's fastest run in 34.49 seconds, following a first-round of 34.96. Placing fourth was South Korea's Tae Bum Mo, who clocked nearly identical runs with times of 34.84 and 34.85 — 0.23 behind Ronald Mulder.

South African HIV/AIDS studies tally for the first time
[CAPE TOWN] Two studies released this week broadly agree on the number of people infected with HIV/AIDS in South Africa, which should benefit planning and policy making.
In the past, South African studies focusing on HIV/AIDS infection rates have produced widely divergent figures.
The studies were released independently this week by two of the country's major research bodies to coincide with World AIDS Day (1 December). Both suggest a deepening crisis, with about one in nine (five million) South Africans infected with HIV.
Earlier this year, the country's main statistics agency, Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) and the health department, published two widely different estimates. Stats SA said 4.5 million South Africans were infected with HIV, while the health department put the number at more than 6.3 million.
The two new studies struck an unprecedented middle ground in their estimate of about five million infections.
The first — published on Monday by the Actuarial Society of South Africa (ASSA) — found there had been an estimated 530,000 new HIV infections between June 2004 and June 2005, suggesting the epidemic is far from slowing.
The figures were derived from a model developed by the ASSA that incorporates surveys of HIV prevalence among pregnant women attending government clinics, a household survey conducted by the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) in 2002, a local youth survey, data from the most recent population census, and death registration records.
The second study, commissioned by the Nelson Mandela Foundation and published by the HSRC, surveyed households across the country and included HIV tests on 15,800 people.
Although the response rate was only 55 per cent, the researchers took this into account when working out the results for the general population, said the HSRC's executive director, Olive Shisana.
The HSRC survey also looked at South Africans' sexual behaviour and attitudes to HIV/AIDS.
Some of the findings suggest that misinformation and lack of knowledge about the disease remain widespread, and raise concerns about how effective the multitude of HIV prevention campaigns currently underway in the country are.Almost a third of respondents aged over 50, and a fifth of those aged 12-14, were unsure whether HIV caused AIDS, or firmly believed it did not. This suggested these age groups had been neglected by prevention campaigns, said Shisana.

The models were very beautiful, and mysterious, at the MSGM Fall Winter 2017 2018 Show at the Milan Fashion Week. Key Makeup Artist was Miranda Joyce. WE asked Miranda to explain the makeup look for this show.
"A beauty with a little twist. A kind of interesting woman who might be in a David Lynch movie, so she might have something to hide. She is a little bit sinister. To get that look we did eyelashes, we did bottom lashes, individuals, and we put on mascara… lots of mascara!"
"And then the lips are kind of dirty red, with a little bit of brown in it. We put on a little bit too much over the line, soft, and then we put more color."
"A little bit dark, a little bit sexy, a little bit sinister. Kind of slightly, she is an interesting woman."
"For the skin we just used concealer, I do not like foundation very much. So I like to see the girls' skin so we took the palest part of her, and we just cooled the face down to this color, so very cool, natural and clean with a little bit of light powder."
"Everyone can use mascara, there is so much out there, you can get waterproof, you can get with fibers, with color it is a really nice tool, it is a good way to go."

By David A. Sirois, D.M.D., Ph.D.

Pemphigus vulgaris is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting the mucosa and skin and resulting in epithelial acantholysis, bullae formation, and chronic ulceration.1 Skin lesions of pemphigus vulgaris present clinically with typical bullae formation and ulceration. However, oral mucosal manifestations are less characteristic, typically occurring as multiple, chronic mucosal erosions or superficial ulcerations of various sizes and rarely presenting with intact bullae.2 Although pemphigus vulgaris is widely considered a skin disease, several reports of cases and case series have described it frequently as the initial, and occasionally the exclusive, site of involvement.2, 3 Thus, the unfamiliar features of oral pemphigus vulgaris could result in longer diagnostic and treatment delays than cutaneous pemphigus, which could adversely affect treatment response and prognosis.4, 5 The present study explored the natural history and diagnostic pattern of pemphigus vulgaris among 99 patients, with specific interest in the differences between oral and cutaneous pemphigus.
Patients and Methods
A questionnaire was mailed to the membership of the New York Chapter of the National Pemphigus Foundation and also distributed to attendees at the national conference of the foundation held in Chicago, Ill, in 1998. A total of 99 questionnaires were completed: of the 64 mailed questionnaires, 52 were completed and returned by members (81%) and an additional 47 nonduplicated individuals attending the national meeting. To minimize selection bias, we made the questionnaire available to patients without regard to the site of their lesions or the type of treating clinician. The questionnaire collected the following data: specific diagnosis; present age; age at diagnosis; sex; prevalence of oral, cutaneous, and combined mucocutaneous lesions; site of initial lesions (oral mucosa, skin, other) and site of most problematic lesions; time between onset of skin and oral lesions; the number of clinicians consulted and biopsies performed before a correct diagnosis was established; and present medications.
In Table 1 are the demographic characteristics and lesion chronology of the group. Table 2 summarizes the distribution of lesions and diagnostic patterns. Eighty percent of patients experienced oral lesions as the first sign of pemphigus vulgaris. Throughout the history of their illness, 69% experienced both oral and cutaneous lesions, 24% only oral lesions, and 7% only cutaneous lesions. Oral lesions were more bothersome than skin lesions for 67% of patients, mostly owing to pain while eating.
Eighty percent of patients with pemphigus vulgaris experienced oral lesions first, and the disease remained limited to mucosal surfaces in 1 of 4 patients. Diagnostic delays greater than 6 months were common in oral pemphigus vulgaris, a finding of particular importance since early diagnosis and intervention may prevent disease spreading. Oral pemphigus vulgaris was less commonly recognized than cutaneous pemphigus vulgaris, requiring more clinician consultations associated with increased health care utilization and costs. While patients with skin lesions typically sought help from physicians, those with oral lesions sought help equally from physicians and dentists. Therefore, when a patient presents with multiple, chronic oral ulcerations, pemphigus vulgaris should be included in the differential diagnosis.
