One of the more amazing elements of "Batman Returns," especially upon rewatching, is Danny Elfman's absolutely bonkers, totally go-for-broke score. When the original "Batman" was released, Elfman was an unproven quantity with a rock band background and a handful of esoteric small-scale film scores to his credit. But anyone who heard those initial notes for his "Batman" theme knew that he hadn't just proven himself, but he had created the first truly identifiable superhero theme since John Williams' "Superman" score. With "Batman Returns" he took an even more grandiose approach. "I'm trying to tap into some deep dark well and I don't know how hard it's going to be to find water," Elfman describes his creative process. " 'Batman Returns' was halfway between writing a film score and doing music for an opera," Elfman explained in a retrospective documentary. At the time of the film's release, he described what it was like: "Every scene felt like the curtains were opening up on a theatrical vignette and I'd play the music and the characters would do their stuff and then the curtains would close and the next scene begins." Orchestrator Steve Bartek, who was in Oingo Boingo with Elfman, said that Burton, "Wanted it to be operatic. So there's a lot of music in the movie. It's almost wall-to-wall score." In fact there was 95 minutes of score, which Elfman says is "about double" the average length of a traditional film score, "and about 80 of those minutes are really big." (In addition to the score, Elfman co-wrote the Siouxsie and the Banshees song that plays during the masquerade ball.) At the time Elfman described his process with Burton as, "Tim will talk to me in a completely gut-level way. He'll tell me his feelings about this character or that character." What's particularly interesting about this is that it directly preceded a major falling out between the composer and director, the details of which have never been explicitly explained. The fallout would last for several years following "The Nightmare Before Christmas." "Ed Wood" is Burton's only feature to not be scored by Elfman, with Cronenberg regular Howard Shore on musical duties, and for "James and the Giant Peach," a follow-up of sorts to "The Nightmare Before Christmas," which Burton supervised, he was replaced by Randy Newman. Part of the difficulty of the "Batman Returns" score had to do with the number of characters, who each had "huge, independent thematic pieces of music that follow them around." One of the big musical moments in the film is when Catwoman transforms, wrecking her apartment, creating her suit, and generally fucking shit up. Elfman said he wanted to score it "like a silent movie," which made Bartek a little nervous. "It ended up being chilling," Bartek admitted. And part of what makes "Batman Returns" is its hugeness – between the circusy stuff of the Penguin's gang to the slinky mournfulness of Catwoman's various musical incarnations – it's a sprawling, intricate score and one of Elfman's best (and most frequently overlooked). Earlier this year a "complete" version of the score was finally released, with 30 minutes of new stuff including previously unheard cues and alternate takes.
5. Parents Were Not Happy
Despite its commercial success (worldwide gross: $266 million in 1992 dollars), one group that absolutely loathed the film were parents (and outspoken parents' groups). "Batman Returns" has a decidedly more mature, complicated tone, with horror movie overlays that are more "Freaks" than "Fantastic Four," and a kind of raw sexuality exemplified by the S&M undertones of the Catwoman/Penguin relationship. (In Sam Hamm's original draft, this stuff was even more blatant, with Catwoman explicitly wearing a "bondage mask," operating as a violent sex murderer.) Co-screenwriter Daniel Waters remembers seeing the movie with audiences: "I know I've seen the movie with audiences much more than Tim has. It's always great, the lights coming up after 'Batman Returns' and it was like kids crying, people acting like they had been punched in the stomach and mugged. Part of me relished that reaction and part of me, to this day, is like 'oops.' " Given that it was a movie in which a woman wears dominatrix gear throughout, another character bites a man's nose until it gushes blood, and the opening scenes involve Pee Wee Herman dumping a mutated baby down a sewer, it's not entirely surprising: even for diehard fans of the film, that's admittedly a little tough. While the film, critically, fared pretty well (Ty Burr in Entertainment Weekly called it "the first blockbuster art film"), it wasn't lauded as the visionary breakthrough the original was, even though it is just as bold (if not bolder), both visually (Bo Welch's exaggerated production design still dazzles) and thematically. "I did hear of a backlash," Burton admitted, in his usually aloof way. "You know, 'We can't have black stuff coming out of [the penguin's] mouth.' " Original screenwriter Hamm took a stauncher approach: "The movie itself, apart from the marketing and the money generated from toys sales, was never presented as a child-friendly movie. I just think it's a mistake of perception. The parents who complained just got it wrong. There was no attempt to deceive anyone." Well, that isn't exactly true: we remember a glossy prime time television special, hosted by Robert Urich (and included on the special edition DVD) that got our ten-year-old heart beating extra-fast. All that being said, for a movie derided for appealing to children, in the subsequent, brilliant, and hugely influential "Batman: The Animated Series," that version of The Penguin would take its cues from the Burton appropriation – with a more grotesque, flipper-handed character. (The character would go through one major redesign during the course of the series, reverting him back to the more "classic," more human variation.) And what's more, Danny DeVito says kids still come up to him, "They're still charmed by it. And I feel very lucky to have been a part of it." Black goo be damned! And while the film has many detractors (eventual-Robin Chris O'Donnell said, "I didn't like the second one as much, it got really dark") it has just as many high profile champions, including genius anime director Satoshi Kon ("Paprika," "Millennium Actress"), who, prior to passing away in 2010, noted it as one of his 100 favorite films.

While the iPad tickles tablet PC users' social life with their iPad-specific social application designs like the Twitter, Dropbox, Facebook and Spotify, Android has been very busy trying to give tablet PC users the best gaming experience they could get from their mobile device. It is not surprising if by 2014, more and more mobile gamers will get hooked into tablet PC gaming considering that there are so many different tablet PC manufacturers that utilize the Android OS and there are just three iPad models to compete with them.
To prove that tablet PCs are about to conquer the mobile gaming industry by 2014, well-known tablet PC manufacturers have already announced and released their wager.
Razer Edge Pro claimed to be the first tablet PC that has been designed for gaming. Although it uses the Windows 8 OS, it was made compatible with a lot of tablet PC games and even with some desktop PC games. It is equipped with features and specifications that are comparable to those of a gaming laptop. Its CPU is an Intel Core i7 that has the Hyper Threading technology and Turbo Boost at up to 3.0GHz. It also has an 8GB RAM that is definitely sufficient for most PC games. What makes the Razer Edge Pro a great gaming tablet PC is that it could have either the Intel HD4000 graphics processor which has DirectX11 support or the NVIDIA GT 640M LE with 2GB DDR3 with the Optimus technology. The display is very much like other tablet PCs in the market which is at 10.1 inches wide and a multi-touch HD display. To make it more enjoyable for gaming enthusiasts, the tablet PC is sold with detachable controllers that make it look more like a gaming console. With these specifications, the Razer Edge Pro seems to tell the gaming laptop industry that they are up to move into their market soon—and it could be a big threat to most gaming laptop manufacturers.
Following the release of Razer Edge Pro is also the release of a much cheaper but equally good performing gaming tablet option—the WikiPad.
The WikiPad is an Android gaming tablet PC that utilizes an NVIDIA Tegra 3 mobile processor that is equipped with a quad-core CPU and a high performance 12-core NVIDIA GPU. It operates with the Android 4.1 OS or what is more commonly known as the Jelly Bean. So if a mobile gamer is a fan of the games that are available at the Google Play Store, this could be the lucky gaming tablet PC for him because it supports even the latest and most graphics demanding games available from the store. The WikiPad supports up to 32GB storage so it does have a lot of space for a lot of games. It also has interchangeable controllers in case a hard core gamer would want to be on an enduring gaming console mode.
This gaming tablet PC has also been made ultra-portable with its 7 inches wide multi-touch screen display and ultra-thin built at just 0.42 inch. It weighs just around 0.71 lb. It is definitely a mobile gaming device that hard core gamers can carry around with them all the time. Priced at just around $250, the WikiPad would definitely be making a big hit in the market especially those who are addicted to mobile gaming.
We probably all know of the best line of gaming laptops in the market today—the Alienware. The features and specifications it has for each of its models are unbeatable which is why even if they sell at extremely expensive prices, they are still the top-selling gaming laptops. But being on top of the market does not spare them from the threat of gaming tablet PCs that are about to dominate the mobile gaming world. With this, there had been rumours about Alienware looking at having its own gaming tablet PC but have put the plan aside for a while.
The well-known manufacturer of big and bulky but great performing gaming laptops recently released a new models for Alienware that are primarily designed for gamers on-the-go. But they are of course still amenable that their new portable gaming laptops aren't as portable as the new gaming tablet PCs that are starting to dominate the market which is why they also teased the market that they are "working on a lot of exciting things beyond desktops and notebooks." That of course implies the more portable gaming device—tablet PC.
Although none from Alienware have directly admitted that they already have something that is ready to hit the market soon, they mentioned that they are greatly considering the gaming performance and battery expectations that the hardware and software developers could give them. They would want every bit and pieces of their future gaming tablet PC to be worthy to carry out their brand—Alienware. They said that they would not want to sell form-factor just because it is in demand but sacrifice their performance.
But Alienware teasing the market continues and they said—keep your eyes open.

American Idol: MK Nobilette Is The First Openly Gay Contestant To Crack The Top 30
February 14, 2014 09:04 AM by Stephanie Gustafson
Following continued criticism surrounding its treatment of gay contestants, American Idol appears to be in the midst of some significant changes. Yesterday, the talented MK Nobilette earned distinction as the very first openly gay competitor to make the reality competition's top 30.
In the past, American Idol has done a terrible job of recognizing and promoting its LGBT contestants. Adam Levine of The Voice noted this in an earlier interview, complaining, "What's always pissed me off about Idol' is wanting to mask that, for that to go unspoken…You can't hide basic components of these people's lives."
It looks like this is about to change however, with MK Nobilette making her mark as the first openly gay singer to crack Idol's semifinals. MK has impressed from the beginning. She never made her sexual orientation a secret, admitting, "I'm very obviously gay, and there are always going to be people in American and everywhere else who are definitely going to hate me."
Harry Connick Jr. seemed all in favor of admitting an "obviously gay" singer into the top 30, although, initially, he did find himself wondering, "What will America think?" Jennifer Lopez was also unsure, first referring to MK as "not the typical American Idol." Ultimately, however, the popular judge decided, "The world is changing, I think — we think that you could be an American Idol."
Do you approve of American Idol's decision to include an openly gay contestant in this season's top 30? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear it, so feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below!

it's not about fags, it's about musical/vocal talent. Keep the show pointed towards the subject, don't excess over social issues irrelevant to the competition.
If the nation votes her off for her talent or lack thereof, so be it.. If the nation supports her for her talent again so be it.. The worst thing about these live shows would be interjecting "social agenda" into the mix.
The kid has a great voice and can become a big star.. the fact that she also likes the same type of sexuality that I like is totally irrelevant.

If her gay status entered into choosing her, then I object. Talent (which she has) should be the only consideration. Last year when I read that white guys with guitars need not audition, I was very much disillusioned with American Idol. After all, it is the public that selects the winner and if the American public likes white guys with guitars, then they should be allowed to compete even if the last six winners were white guys with guitars.

I think it shouldn't matter if she is gay or not, music is music. just like love is love. she has an amazing voice and I think she is going to win. If people have a problem with it then they just need to not watch this season. she isn't scared to come out. and she is right I guess it is kinda obvious. just like me. but, just because someone is gay, bisexual, etc… doesn't mean they can't play music. Take Adam Lambert for example, he is gay but he is also a big star and was runner up on AI. SO YOU GOTTA PROBLEM, DONT WATCH.

Sew Whats New I hope you, like me, are looking forward to our upcoming garage sale. A wonderful opportunity to trade off our extras and purchase something special from someone else one (wo)mans cast-offs are another (wo)mans treasures. Yes, we all love a bargain and there will be lots of them available! Unfortunately well have to forego Show and Tell at this meeting due to time constraints, but perhaps well get to see some results of your purchases at the March meeting. Some news from your executive: After looking forward to next year financially, we didnt see the need to increase the membership fee, so it will remain at $35.00 for 2010-11. The application form will be available at the March meeting and will also be available on the web site and in the newsletter. Also discussed was whether or not we needed to implement an additional levy on those members receiving a hard copy of their newsletter through Canada Post. It was felt that we are receiving sufficient advertising income at present to offset some of the cost so we would continue to provide this service grandfathered to those members without access to the internet. We continue to review the guilds Constitution and By-Laws to ensure they are still appropriate to our current way of work. Any changes felt necessary will be circulated to the membership well in advance to give you sufficient time to think about them before implementation. Another item we need you to think seriously about is volunteering your time on the executive committee. Terms are only two years, none of the jobs are difficult and help is always available from other executive members. There are lots of spots that would fit you to a t, so please consider putting your name forward for the positions whose two-year terms will finish in June: Facilities, Historian, Library, Membership, Newsletter, Program, Quilter of the Month, Quilts From The Heart, Secretary, Special Projects, Treasurer, Web Site, Workshop or even 2nd Vice-president! Remember, you can volunteer to serve with a friend to make the job easier.

The next bee night is Monday, February 8 at 7:00 at Altona Road Community church when we will be making tops for Quilts From The Heart with a fun pattern that Linda Hoiko is sharing with us. Please remember your sewing machine and sewing supplies. We will need you to bring your small cutting mat, ruler and rotary cutter as well, this time. Linda is bringing the fabric for the tops. If you have signed up and cannot make it, please let me know as I do have a waiting list. See you then!

Thanks to the members who shared their creations with the rest of us. Carol Watterson showed a runner and a baby quilt she made as gifts. She also had place mats made at Bee Night. Barb Vranic dazzled us with her brightly coloured Razzle Dazzle quilt. Donna Gaudette had a wall hanging called Flower Doodling. Liane Easton did a good job on her first quilt, Early Frost. Jennifer Adamson displayed her wall hanging Let It Snow which won second in a panel challenge at the Art of Fabric shop. Gail Young showed her pillow done in a class led by Kathy Wylie from her book Sewflakes. Sonja Nielsen displayed her quilt-as-you-go jacket entitled Whispering Creek along with a round quilt. As well, there were also several place mats shown which were made at bee night and are being donated to Meals on Wheels. Quilting Tip from The Quilting Patch newsletter: When winding the bobbin, start winding a few rounds, stop and mark the thread with a washable marker and then continue winding. You will notice the mark on your stitching and know you need to refill the bobbin.

There's word this morning from the Coast Guard navel station in Miami that a "survivor" has been airlifted from a commercial shark diving operation at Tiger Beach in the Bahamas.
While the details are thin right now the Coast Guard have confirmed that this was indeed a shark attack. They have also characterized the situation as "very serious".
We'll keep you updated.

Jill is all over the map these days. What a wonderful candidate. Greens just get better and better. I really like the idea of President/Dr Jill Stein utilizing air force one to fly down to feed/lunch with a tree sitter. Imagine that for just one moment.
I've noticed over the last few months a personal change...After a life long habit of doing so, I no longer use words or thoughts which align myself with Democrats... I identify myself as a Green... and it feels so much better.

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce insists the club's stadium move isn't preying on the players' minds.
The Hammers are under huge pressure to be a Premier League club when they move to the London Olympic stadium.
"I don't think the new stadium creates a pressure on the players. I don't think the players think about that," said the West Ham manager.
"We think about that as a business plan and as a basis of taking the club forward. I said that when we got back here, that it is about trying to establish West Ham as a team that is sustainable, sustains its position in the Premier League when it gets to that stadium.
"From a financial point of view, we all know what a disaster it is not to be in the Premier League and it is a bigger disaster than ever before because the money has gone through the roof again so that makes the pressure even greater than it was before.
"We've got all with that to cope with, or I have, and make sure the players continue to go out and give all that they've got."

World Wide Wives
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
If you're one of those folks who absolutely loves seeing everyday people engaging in hardcore sex, then World Wide Wives is for you. This amateur site has been in operation since 1999 and has amassed quite a sizeable collection of user-submitted pics and videos.
The thing that I like most about WorldWideWives is that it is completely amateur. There are no studio shots of any kind. The entire collection has been submitted by various horny housewives from all over the world. The over 9,423 movies are downloadable as Windows Media files and are very amateur.
They only seem to offer average-quality playback, but that doesn't change the fact that they're often quite hot. The videos can also be streamed in a small Flash player that doesn't look fantastic, but isn't the worst-looking thing you'll ever see, either. One to two more movies get added every day.
As large as the video section is, it's much smaller than the photo sections, which combine to give you over 84,262 picture sets. New pictures arrive daily (usually dozens of times a day) and they can filtered into a hardcore section that shows off the swinging habits of housewives, a softer section with nude pictures and a male section for lovers of everyday men. You can further filter your search using a ton of different criteria, including groups, cumshots and big boobs.
The pictures range in quality from poor to very good, depending on the type of device that was used to capture the image. I can't say enough about how pleased I was to see such a great collection of true amateur porn. These people aren't afraid to show off their goods. Unfortunately, none of the sets can be saved in Zip files. In fact, you can't save the photos at all.
Other features allow you to search by name for multiple posters and to comment on the various images that suit your fancy. I found everything from XXX fucking to group action to interracial hookups to lesbian sex. It was a treat to see such a wide range of everyday people having sex instead of the plasticized porn we're used to nowadays (although I could have sworn that some of the videos involved chicks I've seen on other porn sites).
There aren't any bonus sites, but there is the option to submit your own pics. Doing so automatically enters you in a monthly content ($300 for softcore pics, $500 for hardcore and $1,000 for videos). The more votes your submission gets, the higher your chances of winning, which means if you're set on earning cash every month, you'll want to make good use of the other elements on the site.
It's a social network first and foremost, so you can make friends and post on each other's walls. You can also use the site as a dating service to help you find people to hook up with. There's a chatting feature as well.
For once, true amateur erotica has made an appearance on World Wide Wives, where horny housewives and randy husbands throw caution to the wind and share their hardcore escapades with the rest of the world. This is a great amateur site that's worth checking out!
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
Score: 25% Date: 04/23/2012
Oh dear - not very good in this day and age. Advertising has now crept in if you are not a full member, and the site's aim seems to be to publicise a further chargeable site for some of it's members.
Don't get the wrong, the genuine amateurs are good, but the whole thing has been bettered by better free sites.
Picture quality is generally poor, and the video clips are very restricted. Most of the content is restricted to full members.
Score: 50% Date: 12/18/2010
The site itself is good. But I hate the fact that they create all these false winks once you cancel. I never received a single wink when being a member for months (which was never my intention, I stayed to watch the vids and pics).
Once I cancelled, the winks never stopped. False, false and FALSE!
The only reason is that they want you to UPGRADE so that you are able to "wink back" to the false winks.
Based on that shit, I end up giving it a score of 50 instead on 90.
Why? I hate liars. Simple as that.

great site for vids and pics of real milfs, u dont get much better than this. my wife won the competition 1 year ago and we've been addicted to this site since!

Some very special and sexy gals but don't be taken in by the monthly comp and voting which seems to be won by a 'not so amateur' every month. Sounds like fraud and miss-selling to me and the true wives aren't getting the recognition they deserve.
Score: 100% Date: 09/18/2008
Still on this site since 2003, love it. Can't get any more real really can it? Not sure about the rating rabbit reviews has given though, IMO should be higher. Im sure theres more sites out there but im more of an amateur man myself!


text: I'm running WinVNC from my laptop and I was connecting to my desktop PCin my house by using the IP address of my router instead of the IP address of the desktop PC. The router has port forwarding set up correctly. When I start up the viewer on the laptop I get the WinVNC window - all black - and within about 5 seconds I get blue screen and it points to my NetGear wireless network connection driver. When I connect directly to the desktop PC using it's IP address instead of the router's IP address, it works fine. I also tried to connect to another computer on the net - which happens to have a dial-up connection (yes, its very slow but it does work!) and was able to run that for about 10 minutes before I got the same blue screen problem I mentioned above. I have the latest drivers for the NetGear wireless device. Anyone have any ideas as to why my laptop is crashing? Mike __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Given Lady Gaga's new album is called 'ARTPOP' you'd be forgiven for thinking that her look for the promotional campaign would have been all about artistic takes on glamour and bright colours. Ya know, the usual pretentious stuff we lap up.
But instead Gaga looks set on transforming herself into a Marilyn Manson look-a-like. And not a very good one at that.
Lady Gaga goes goth
First she dyed her hair black, then she ditched the slap for a pale complexion and now she's had her septum pierced in a new snap she posted on her own social networking site, LittleMonsters.com.
Is Gaga turning into Marilyn Manson?
Her fans have been speculating that the recent images signal that she is stripping back her look and revisiting her pre-fame days, when she was plain old Stefani Germanotta.
Of course, Gaga fans will know that she used to GoGo dance to heavy metal songs in New York nightclubs when she was trying to make it in the music biz.
So does this mean this new goth vibe is here to stay? We're hoping not, as a screamo version of 'Bad Romance' is not something we ever wish to hear.
Lollapalooza, 2007, Chicago Back in 2007, Lady Gaga, aka Stefani Germanotta, was just a brunette trying to make a name for herself in the music world. Like many other pop stars, she resorted to performing in as few clothes as possible.
The Slipper Room, 2007, New York Who knew these 80s legwarmers and glitzy leotard would be the tamest items in Gaga's wardrobe?
New T-shirt line debut at Kitston, 2008, L.A. A full-body latex unitard, platinum blonde locks and a quirky hair bow made up Lady G's early red carpet uniform, when her single Just Dance was hitting airwaves.
Jet nightclub performance, 2008, Las Vegas One of Gaga's early show-stopping dresses, this futuristic frock with matching headpiece certainly got her noticed. Shame about those hideous greige shoeboots.
Nokia 5800 party, 2009, London By early 2009, Gaga had debuted her signature 'hair-bow' look, and perfected the art of statement sunnies on the red carpet. This is probably her last appearance in something as normal as an LBD for the next two years - at least.
Brit Awards, 2009, London For the 2009 Brits, Gaga donned a subversive Marilyn-in-Gentleman-Prefer-Blondes style frock with plunge V-neck and exaggerated hips.
Glastonbury Festival, 2009 Gaga's stage style is still more outrageous than her red carpet style in 2009. This mirror-ball sculptural tutu dress and fishnets got her noticed in Glastonbury.
Much Music Video Awards, 2009, Toronto Mother Monster shows off her subversive style in the first of many hair dresses she will wear over the years.
13th Annual ACE Awards, 2009, New York The singer takes the underwear-as-outerwear trend a little too literally in this bizarre getup for the Accessories Council Awards in 2009.
Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball, 2009, London And so begins a love affair with sheer latex that has yet to end...
Meeting Queen Elizabeth II, 2009, Blackpool The singer covers up to meet HRH, donning a latex Queen of Hearts-style dress and crazy eye glitter.
Grammy Awards, 2010, L.A. The singer looks out of this world as she attends the Grammys in a gorgeous, glittering Armani Prive frock and now-trademark heel-less heels.
Grammy Awards performance, 2010, L.A. Showing off a futuristic style sensibility - and her toned body - Gaga wears a sparkly leotard and matching boots for her on-stage look.
Brit Awards, 2010, London The star wore a bizarre tiered cape dress to the Brit Awards in 2010, which looked like it was inspired by Pierrot from the Commedia dell'Arte...
Brit Awards, 2010, London ... But she couldn't resist showing off her bod (all of it), so she unveiled this sheer lacy unitard later in the evening.
MAC Viva Glam launch, 2010, London The MAC Viva Glam face shows off her pout (and not much else of her face) in an elaborate latex mask and lace bodysuit.
New Tokyo International Airport, 2010 Gaga's airport style is more complicated than most people's. She teams goth lips and footwear with avant-garde trousers and blouse, and even decorates her Birkin bag with a message (in marker!) to her Japanese fans.
MTV Video Music Awards, 2010, CA The singer walked away with eight awards at the ceremony in 2010, but even more than her impact on the music industry, her relationship with the fashion world was felt as she wore a regal gown from her favourite designer, the late Alexander McQueen's, final collection.
MTV Video Music Awards, 2010, CA Where would we be without the meat dress? Under the guidance of stylist and friend Nicola Formichetti, Gaga claimed the most iconic fashion moment of the year - and perhaps the decade - when she wore slabs of raw meat to the MTV Video Music Awards.
Political rally, 2010, Maine Lady Gaga is as outspoken about her politics as her sartorial choices. At this 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' repeal rally in Maine she works androgynous style with a US flag tie and geeky specs.
Grammy Awards, 2011, L.A. In what seems to be a subversive interpretation of the birth of Venus, Gaga arrives on the red carpet in her weirdest outfit yet - an egg.
Thierry Mugler fashion show, 2011, Paris Gaga supported her pal Nicola Formichetti's first women's collection as creative director of Thierry Mugler by rocking a sexy bustier ensemble from the label for the A/W 2011 show.
CFDA Awards, 2011, New York Gaga wore a dramatic punky prom dress by Thierry Mugler to take home her Fashion Icon award from the CFDA in 2011. She teamed the black frock with dramatic teal hair and more than one nipple flash, naturally.
St. Regis Hotel, 2011, Rome Gaga spent the summer of 2011 having a love-in with vintage Versace prints. And we loved her in the eclectic (yet still tamer than her usual) ensembles.
Narita International Airport, 2011, Japan Lady Gaga tries an elegant ensemble of simple leather trench with matching heels and hair on for size and proves she can look normal-ish, too.
MTV Video Music Awards, 2011, CA Of course Lady Gaga has a male alter-ego. Meet Jo Calderone, who wears a mannish suit and dirty tee.
MTV Europe Awards, 2011, Belfast The star shows off yet another side of her fashion personality in this futuristic fish-scale mermaid dress with sea-creature makeup and tiered ponytail.
Barney's Lady Gaga workshop opening, 2011, New York Didn't think Gaga could rock Chanel couture? The star proves she can look stunning in a boucle jacket and pearls - with some added Gaga drama, of course.
Bambi Awards, 2011, Germany The star looks gorgeous as she brings McQueen catwalk style to the red carpet.
Heading to an X Factor taping, 2011, London Lady G loves her quirky accessories. In 2011, she brought back the teacup and saucer she used to carry around in the early days of trying to make a name for herself.
NYE Times Square ball drop, 2011, New York The singer sparkled in this Art Deco-style dress and crystal mask as she helped usher in 2012 - another year for her to embark on countless style transformations, no doubt.

so this morning when I went to get on my computer I could hear a definite click, click click coming from it. Hard drive failure, correct? I put it to sleep for the time being (am on a different laptop) and am planning on backing up later today.
It's 4 years old. Is it worth replacing the HD or just get a new one?

Oops, something didn't work.
Where is the live streaming?
yeah... where is it?
Hi where is the live streaming !!!!
mmm.. noted:
Session recordings are being processed and will be available approximately 24-48 hours after the session has completed
where is the live streaming, i got up early for it!
It should be live now
This was advertised as a live stream
Sorry folks, this will be available as an on-demand video within 24 hours
@Duncanma:Then why did you advertise this as live streaming? Even got an email reminder yesterday about it? Disappointing. Maybe some explanation?
I have got outlook calender booking and reminders from the site if you want....cheers CH9
Indeed, I think a lot of us made special efforts to be ready for this. Are all the other "live streams" a lie as well?
ooo it's a lie streams... not a live streams..
Maybe they're trying to load test the site to make sure it works? Apparently they had a lot of issues yesterday with the Keynote live stream. Good luck with the rest of the load testing you have scheduled in!
Downloading the Keynote session now. It is reporting as almost 2GB in size. Would be nice to have the option of smaller sizes for the later sessions.
@Tony:we will be creating smaller MP4s for the keynote and all the other sessions, but the initial version is the highest quality and the largest. The keynote is also longer than the other sessions though, so it will be bigger than the rest.
This is false advertising..
i had signed up for 8 different sessions as they were reported as live..not its "LIVE" streaming..as usual..Microsoft never lags...
When do you expect the video will be uploaded for this session?
2 days later and still not available...
what a farce
5 days ago you said 24-48 hours? What gives?
hi, any chance you could post this video please ?
I'd have to say i am less than impressed with this website.
a) It was sold as live streaming
b) a LOT of the content is simply not available yet and it's been weeks since TechED.
YAY! It's arrived. 16 days late but hey at least it's here now. :-)
Wish he'd stand still! Really annoying having the camera go back an forth, bAack and forth, back and forth.
Getting dizzy here!

Funding opportunities
To realize the potential of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) in research and medicine, it is essential to disseminate state of the art technology in this field to the scientific community at large. The Shared Research Laboratory (SRL) of the Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (CSCRM) at the University of Southern California will aim to provide a comprehensive support service for hESC researchers at our University and at neighboring institutions. The mission of the SRL will include the following goals: 1) to supply scientists with quality controlled stem cell lines for use in their research, including cell lines that are not eligible for use in NIH-funded projects; 2) to provide space and equipment for scientists new to the field to carry out pilot projects, in order to help them to integrate the hESC platform technology into their own research programs; 3) to develop and validate new and improved methods for growing hESC in the laboratory; 4) to operate a formal practical course in hESC laboratory techniques to scientists from throughout the region.
The facility will be situated in the new Harlyne Norris Cancer Center tower on the USC medical school campus. The laboratory will have sufficient work stations to support training, collaborative projects, and research and development programs for evaluation of new stem cell culture techniques, and it will be equipped with specialized instruments required to monitor stem cells. The operation of the facility will be overseen by the Program Director and the Manager of the CSCRM Core Facility. Advice on access and management will be provided by a subgroup of the CSCRM Stem Cell Advisory Group comprising stem cell researchers from USC, Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, and California Institute of Technology.
The SRL will support the work of CSCRM scientists and their colleagues at neighboring institutions involved in basic research on hESC, including international collaborations on standards for this research. The facility will also enable many groups involved in translational work at the USC medical school to gain experience and training in the use of hESC in their work in areas such as neurology, liver disease, cardiology, and ophthalmology. These scientists will be able to conduct preliminary studies in the facility under the guidance of experienced staff.
The SRL will offer a 5-day course on Current Protocols in Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research, to provide a comprehensive practical training for investigators wishing to use hESC lines in their research programs. Laboratory instruction will include demonstration of the most commonly used methods for cultivating hESC, methodology for assessing the purity and quality of hESC cultures, and methods for converting hESC into specific cell types such as nerve or blood cells. The training course will be available to scientists from institutions throughout the Los Angeles area and will be held 3-4 times per year.
The California Institute of Regenerative Medicine has as its goal the development of stem cell and related research for the treatment of disease. Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) could provide an indefinitely renewable source of any type of healthy human cell for use in research and therapy, and are therefore the focus of widespread scientific excitement. However, because the development of hESC technology is still at an early phase, significant technical barriers exist for new workers entering the field. The proposed Shared Research Laboratory (SRL) in the Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (CSRCM) at the University of Southern California will act as a hub for dissemination of state-of-the-art technology in hESC research throughout the region. By training students and established investigators in the practical skills required for hESC use, and by providing shared space for pilot and collaborative projects, the SRL will vastly accelerate stem cell research in Southern California. The SRL will also carry out research and development aimed at evaluating new technologies for hESC research, and will incorporate new discoveries by participanting scientists into validated protocols for maintenance and differentiation of hESC. This role, which will include participation in international collaborative efforts for assessment of hESC methodology, will ensure that the SRL scientists benefit from the most recent advances in hESC research, and that their own discoveries are integrated into best practice for hESC research globally. California, and the greater Los Angeles area, will thus become an international focal point for hESC research. As workers involved in translational and clinical research learn to apply hESC in their studies, basic discoveries in stem cell biology by SRL trained researchers will move towards clinical application. The availability of the SRL will also provide a needed boost to the development of biotechnology in the Los Angeles area.
SYNOPSIS OF PROPOSAL: This application proposes a Shared Research Laboratory (SRL) with the goals of maintaining stocks of quality-controlled human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines (including non-federally approved lines) for researchers, providing needed space to investigators at the host and neighboring institutions, and training researchers in the practical aspects of hESC culture. The proposed space includes six cell culture workstations and a request for major equipment to extend existing capabilities of the center's core facilities such as a flow cytometer, a spectral karyotyping workstation, fluorescence and confocal microscopes, and a Cellomics high content cell imaging system. The oversight committee will include representatives from the host institution as well as neighboring institutions. The SRL will also offer a 5-day course on Current Protocols in Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research 3-4 times per year.
QUALITY AND IMPACT OF THE SCIENCE: A core of 3 researchers (Pera, Ying, & Kahn) study key elements of hESC biology, including maintenance of pluripotency, growth, differentiation and signaling, that directly relate to improvements in understanding hESC technology. Dr. Pera studies renewal and differentiation and is funded by the International Stem Cell Initiative to evaluate new defined culture systems for growth and assess genetic stability. Equipment requested in this proposal will support these efforts. Description of the research base at the institution was brief, and the current and expected use by individual PIs is vague. Despite this, it is clear that the research PIs represent a broad range of stem cell interests, have excellent funding from major granting agencies, and address important questions regarding hESC biology, technology, and applications to disease therapy. Four investigators approved for CIRM SEED grants are members of the user group. Several groups with strong research efforts on adult stem cells (neural, cardiomyocyte, oral, epidermal, hematopoietic) add to the general expertise of the stem cell community, and most have plans to transition to related projects using hESCs through the Shared Lab. A particular strength is the proposed R&D by the lab to automate the evaluation and validation of new protocols and assays, marker assessments, and karyotype maintenance for QC, and justifies the acquisition of major equipment.
APPROPRIATENESS OF SPACE AND EQUIPMENT TO SCOPE OF PLAN: The SRL is needed to increase the insufficient space currently available for hESC work and to stimulate prospective hESC researchers by providing access to equipment, space and expertise for initiating pilot projects and gaining necessary training and experience for major new research projects. The current and likely future needs for USC and neighboring institutions require an increase in space of this magnitude. However, the need for NIH-free space based on the amount of work with non-NIH registry lines is not specifically justified. The program director, recently recruited from the stem cell group at Monash, is a leader in hESC methods, standards and policy. A total of 5 technical staff should ensure sufficient personnel for lab and equipment maintenance, training, routine culture and maintenance of hESCs, and hands-on direction of lab users. Ample space and equipment are earmarked for the SRL services including the training course, area for collaborative interactions with 6 workstations, and R&D by lab staff; production of cells and QC will be performed in a currently operating, small stem-cell lab. The needs of the host and neighbor institutions will be met by vastly increasing the work space and equipment for hESC work that is currently out of bounds for many researchers at USC and neighboring institutions. The NIH-free space currently available is small and not accessible to all researchers at USC or at neighboring institutions.
QUALITY OF MANAGEMENT PLAN: Overall, the plan to support, manage and maintain the SRL and equipment are adequate. One reviewer felt that the key personnel are particularly outstanding. Each has critical expertise in their major duties and responsibilities. The Director is an international leader in the field and has nearly 2 decades of experience in the derivation and analysis of human stem cell lines with a keen interest in improving hESC lines and technology. The Lab Manager has a MS in Biotechnology, 15 yrs experience with mouse ESC and 4 yrs with hESCs, and extensive experience in training, including co-instructor for two NIH hESC courses that produced one of the first hESC lab manuals. The technical staff have dazzling expertise and productivity including authorships on major hESC publications. USC has a successful track record for effective multi-user core facilities that span up to 20 yrs of service or more. Members of the oversight committee are included in the list of PIs, although most appear not to be users. Access will be enhanced by providing a single, identifiable location for the Shared Lab. Access by researchers from neighboring institutions will be encouraged by including members of neighboring institutions on the oversight committee. Guidelines and specific protocols to gain access, to acquire and certify competence and to verify SCRO, biosafety, and IRB compliance were not provided. Though not proposed, using the lab's website for applications to use the facility would be a useful way to simplify the application process and coincidently ensure compliance by requiring specific information and uploading documentation of necessary administrative approvals. Institutional support for the SRL is part of a $10M commitment of startup funds for the Center for Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine to establish high quality hESC research at the USC Keck School of Medicine Medical School. In addition, ample space central to stem cell investigators on the USC Medical School campus is being provided.
DISCUSSION: One reviewer lacked enthusiasm for this proposal which in his/her view is vaguely written and it is not clear what studies investigators will perform in the shared lab space. The plan to expand from 250 sq. ft to 1000 sq. ft. is not well-described. The program director is well-known and very experienced with hESCs. A "laundry list" of potential users is presented that the director proposes to recruit but there was no discussion regarding administrative oversight or organization. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer felt that a true spirit of sharing and collaboration came through in this proposal. Another reviewer felt that the core management team (director, lab manager, and technicians) have experience that is good or better than most other applications. The program director aims to be a world-leader by creating this strong core facility. There is a large list of people, but 7 are currently using hESCs making this a pretty strong group. USC has a training grant from CIRM and has been approved to receive 4 SEED grants. They propose to maintain hESC stocks and get other people to make use of the facility. Clearly this will be a true "shared" facility making hESCs available with quality control and routine analysis and maintenance. The management plan was lacking, but the application hits the spirit of the RFA quite well. A third reviewer felt that although the science presented is not particularly exciting, it is solid. It is broad-based and what a core lab should be. Overall, it is very appropriate.
PROGRAMMATIC REVIEW: A motion was made to recommend this Shared Research Laboratory application for funding. It was noted that the institution is committed to building new space and to recruitment of new scientists. The application itself was not well written, but the reviewers felt the proposal had the necessary strengths and merited funding. A question was raised as to whether conditions for funding should be indicated, but the reviewers found no real deficiencies in the proposal. The core lab proposal is good, it will be a true shared lab, and the key personnel are outstanding. There is a need at USC with 4 approved SEED grantees and a CIRM training program. The motion to recommend this Shared Research Laboratory application for funding passed.
QUALITY OF THE PROPOSED TECHNIQUES COURSE: The Shared Research Lab will offer a course on Current Protocols in Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research to provide comprehensive practical training for hESC investigations. The course will be run by the program director and the lab manager, with assistance from 5 scientists with hESC experience from neighboring institutions, and several technical staff from the lab personnel. The quality of the lecture topics and the nature of the practical information appear to be excellent. The short 5-day duration of the course with only afternoons available for laboratory work may allow a brief introduction and mostly observation, but is unlikely to impart much technical skill. That would require more hands-on experience with one-on-one tutoring. The qualifications of the instructors are remarkable; the combined experience and awareness of up-to-date protocols may be unmatched. Technical assistance will be provided by research associates with extensive experience in major hESC-labs with major contributions to stem cell technology. Instructors are recruited from neighboring institutions. A particular enhancement is the participation of Dr. Carolyn Lutzko from Children's Hospital of LA, who together with the Lab Manager has run a practical course in hESC culture methods for 2 years and Dr. Loring from the Burnham Institute who has instructed in a training course for the past 3 years. An insightful plan to involve course personnel in an annual one-day meeting for the general public on the science, ethics and politics of stem cell research can be expected to be an important benefit to the community. The plan for advertising will appropriately use the proposed SRL website run by the lab manager as well as the website of the International Society of Stem Cell Research, and circulating prospectuses to the major research institutions in the LA area, which are expected to be the predominant users.
QUALIFICATIONS OF THE INSTITUTION: No information is presented directly regarding the qualifications of the institution. However, the teaching excellence of USC and the Medical School, coupled with the recruitment of instructors with extensive experience in conducting just this kind of laboratory-based instruction for stem cells indicate that the course should be effective, rigorous and well-received.
DISCUSSION: The applicants propose a well-rounded, current protocols course. The applicants will recruit instructors from neighboring institutions and the lab manager has previously helped teach a course at CHLA. They have a large amount of material for this 5-day course but the course offers nothing particularly novel. The course is mostly didactic with only the afternoons available for hands on training and therefore will not impart much technical expertise to trainees. The technical experience will need to come from one-on-one tutoring. CHLA has produced a handbook that the course co-director will make available here. 1000 sq.ft is proposed for the course, which seems small but perhaps they have other space available.
PROGRAMMATIC REVIEW: A motion was made to recommend this Techniques Course application for funding. A weakness was noted that the courses proposed are short, although the qualifications of the investigators are good, and include translational research. The motion to recommend this Techniques Course application for funding passed.

Have questions about this product?
Works For 4 Seasons.
Made For Ice Though.
Psshaw, this picture is pure fiction. I went up there recently, and there's no ice at all.
All Day Comfort.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Ive used a lot of different harnesses over the years. This is by far the most comfortable harness I have ever worn, especially when you are in it all day. I am size 34 waist and the large is perfect. I can almost cinch it down all the way but, there is more than enough room when I am ice climbing in it. I just started trad climbing and this is the only helmet I have used for that so I cannot comment on the gear loops and such, ice climbing same thing, only harness I Have used to clip screws. Definitely use this all 4 seasons, I do believe the more trad or big wall specific harness they make is more breathable as this one as this use is specific to ice climbing, though I use it for everything.
great harness
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love how thin this harness is. I was using it with a large backpack and any other harness I tried tended to be much more noticeable and rub uncomfortably.
I generally wear size 32 or 33 inch pants and the medium fits me well. It's just on the tight side but it's quite comfortable.
The only downside is that I've been having trouble with the plastic parts of the gear loops. A few of them have broken off. Not really a big deal though, the webbing part still functions fine as the loop.
Misses the Mark
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Overall, I have found the WARP Technology harnesses to be amazing. They are both comfortable and light, perfect for the alpine. The i340a is no different. The revisions and improvements to the waist and leg loops in this generation are noticeable, or not noticeable as I barely can tell I am wearing it.
However, I do have some issues with this harness. The gear loops are very small. I realize that this is an ice climbing harness, but at $168.95, I planned on using this as my only harness. In order to fit a "standard" rock rack, I have to creatively rack the gear on my harness, which is less than ideal. The other main issue is, while clipper slots are plentiful, they are in not ideal locations and the elastic slots are only sturdy in the front (useless for screws) and rear positions (almost too far back). Using any of the slots will mean overlapping gear loops, which are already too small and thus losing more racking real estate.
I give this harness five stars for fit, comfort and compactness in the pack. Two stars for practicality and usage for tiny gear loops and ineffective ice clipper slots.
Doug - can you comment more on the size of the gear loops? How do they compare to the x350a? or just an actual measurement for size? I have the x350a and was considering upgrading to this harness based on it having more ice clipper slots and because the older one is gotten plenty of use and might be time to replace it; but am a little concerned based on your review (which is good, its what these reviews are for)
Dave - Both of the gear loops are the same size as the smaller rear loops in the back of the x350a. Instead of having the large gear loops similar to the x350 and r340 (previous gen) in the front. They have moved to two smaller loops. So using this as a 365 harness, would be challenging, but not impossible. If you are looking for an update with more clipper slots and ample room for racking gear, I would recommend the B360a.
I guess it depends on what we compare to. I bought this in Large as an upgrade/replacement for my old (bought 2005) Petzel Corax. I feel that the gear loops are noticeably larger on I340a than on the old Corax, which I consider a nice improvement. I have not yet used it for ice, so I cannot comment on clipper slots. I feel that only the far back will be good for screws. I feel that there is plenty of space for my rock rack, typical Gunks rack,which I admit may be relatively small. Actually, I do not need more space. If I were, I would probably carry too much gear, i.e., too much weight. Relatively, light weight is one of the reasons why I bought this harness, so having too much gear would kind of defy the very purpose. Just my 5 cents.
I would agree with Doug. After using it couple times for ice climbing I can say that harness is very comfortable and lite but gear loops are not so great. The size is probably ok but location is quite inconvenient for me. I have three more harnesses and wanted this one for alpine/ice specifically as replacement for BD mountaineering harness (webbing basically). Will keep using it may be I am missing some "new technique"... Tried two sizes S and M but have decided to keep M. I am 5'6"" 153 lb.
I dig it...
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Price is a little steep, but it's worth it. My previous harness was a 2008 model BD Momentum AL. Not a bad harness, but I didn't do enough homework before I purchased it. Doing primarily ice climbing, the Momentum doesn't have any ice clipper slots and fixing ice clippers to a gear loop doesn't work that well. After checking out Gear:30's review ( http://gearthirty.blogspot.com/2012/06/arcteryx-i-340a-harness-review.html ), I committed to the I-340a (Xenos was the other one I was eyeballing). I used it for the first time last weekend and most of the time I forgot I was even in a harness! It's super light and very comfortable. Self-locking buckles are a dream. Typical quality you'd expect from Arcteryx.
Best One-Quiver Harness on the market
I've tried other harnesses out there, but in the end I keep coming back to Arc'teryx. In my opinion there is no better combination of lightweight, comfort and functionality than the new I340a harness.
Arc'teryx has fixed the lack of drop-down leg loops and added ice clipper slots that were lacking on the X350a harness, and have actually managed to shed some weight too.
The WARP technology keeps this harness so light and packable, yet surprisingly comfortable while hanging or belaying.
While a bit pricey, in my opinion, for Year Round climbers, there is no better one-quiver harness out there on the market.
Conor - do you have the x350a? I do, and it does have the drop-down leg loops, it also has ice clipper slots (3, to be exact). Just making sure that all the right facts are out there on these harnesses.
I did have the x350a yes, however the "drop down" leg loops were a pain in you know what to operate with gloves on that model. On the i340a, the drop down function is vastly improved with the easy clip buckles. As well, being left-handed, the fact that the x350a has only 3 ice-clipper slots, was frustrating. I much prefer the fact that on the i340a, one can place their ice clippers wherever they see fit. Again, a big improvement over the x350a.
In summary, is the x350a a good harness? Absolutely (better than most on the market I'd say). That said, do I feel there have been improvements made with the new i340a? Yes.
I am struggling with sizing this harness....
I am struggling with sizing this harness. My measurements fall right between M and L. Would it be better to take M and hope that I will still get in with some thicker closing or go for L and hope that I will be able to tighten it up in summer?
I would go with a Large if it was me especially if you are going to get any Fall or Winter use out of it.
I find these run a touch small, definitely go Large.
I was in your situation recently- between M and L- and I ordered the M, thinking I'd just have to loosen the belt. Unfortunately, being on the very large end of the fit for the M harness was extremely uncomfortable! When I did try on a Large, the difference in terms of comfort was remarkable.
Large will it be. Thank you all.
