Sargent offers [James Carroll] Beckwith his choice of two Venetian studies as a wedding gift. Beckwith chooses Venetian Bead Stringers (Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo), and Sargent gives A Street in Venice (National Gallery of Art, Washington DC) to Stanford White."

College Hockey:North Dakota Crushes Cornell
Frattin Nets Hat Trick
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — When one of the best defensive teams in the nation met one of the lowest scoring teams, the last thing anybody expected was a high-scoring shootout.
In defeating 12th-ranked Cornell 7-3 in front of 11,363 fans at Ralph Engelstad Arena, North Dakota accomplished important team and individual objectives. Besides the offensive explosion, UND picked up its first non-conference win of the season and handed Cornell its first loss.
"It was a battle all the way through," said UND coach Dave Hakstol. "We got a couple of late ones (goals) that stretched the lead a little bit, but it was anyone's game through 50 minutes."
Sophomore forward Matt Frattin led UND with three goals and an assist while junior defenseman Chay Genoway had a career-high five points with a goal and four assists. Genoway and sophomore center Evan Trupp each scored their first goals of the season.
The Fighting Sioux entered the series averaging 2.3 goals per game. They hadn't scored five-on-five in more than 14 periods of hockey. Their power play had been sputtering along at 14 percent.
UND faced Cornell junior goalie Ben Scrivens, who came to Grand Forks with a gaudy .971 save percentage and a .81 goals against average, both tops in the country. He left the game in the third period after giving up five goals on 26 shots. UND also went 3-7 on the power play against Cornell's nation-leading penalty kill.
"It seemed like we just started getting some bounces from putting pucks on net," Genoway said. "We've been working hard for those bounces, and it's nice to see them finally go our way tonight."
Cornell coach Mike Schafer agreed with Hakstol's assessment of the game. With more than 15 minutes left to play in the third period, the Sioux led 4-3 before erupting for three goals, two against Scriven's replacement, freshman goalie Michael Garman.
"When we got down 4-3, we had some really good scoring chances," Schafer said. "It was a tighter game than the score would indicate. It's just one of those things where you regroup, revamp and get ready to go again tomorrow."
In a season that's seen little go right, UND finally had a game in which little went wrong.
"Things finally started going our way as far as putting the puck in the net," Trupp said. "It had to come sometime.:
Cornell struck first just 2:43 into the opening period. Junior forward Locke Jillson capitalized on a two-on-one rush when he flipped a backhand from the left of UND goalie Brad Eidsness that went in five-hole.
UND answered 1:12 later with its first five-on-five goal since Nov. 8. Genoway blasted a slapper from the point, causing Scrivens to kick the rebound out to his right. The puck went to Frattin, who fired it in to make it 1-1.
Cornell went up 2-1 at 6:28. From deep in the left corner of UND's zone, senior forward Evan Barlow found linemate Colin Greening alone in the slot. He rifled the puck past Eidsness for his third goal of the season.
The Sioux tied it up 2-2, cashing in on the power play at the 17:08 mark. Frattin's centering pass through traffic found its way to senior forward Ryan Martens in the right circle. He fired a quick wrister over the sprawling Scrivens to knot the score at the end of one period.
UND took a 3-2 lead in the second period off a power-play goal by senior forward Ryan Duncan at 6:07. Cornell got into penalty trouble early, taking three straight infractions that led to a five-on-three advantage for the Sioux. Defenseman Brad Miller found Duncan alone to Scriven's right. His snapshot beat the goalie through the pads.
Just 51 seconds into the third period, UND extended its lead to two goals. Genoway took a pass from center Chris VandeVelde and fired a slap shot past Scrivens from high in the slot. At the 4:47 mark, Cornell made it a 4-3 game when junior defenseman Brendon Nash hit brother Riley Nash with a pass that sent him in alone on UND freshman goalie Brad Eidsness.
The Big Red got no closer. Schafer said his team pressed too hard when it got behind and took some chances that UND exploited.
"Hopefully, we learned our lesson that if we do get down tomorrow night, not to play the way we did in the third, trying to open it up rather than sticking with things a little bit longer in order to get ourselves back in the game," he said.
Frattin got his second goal at 7:17 when he took a drop pass from Jason Gregoire in the right circle and fired a shot that beat Scrivens over the shoulder. Schafer then replaced Scrivens with Garman.
Trupp made it 6-3 at 15:01 when he banged the puck past Garman during a melee in front of the net. Frattin notched the hat trick at 18:56, tipping in Genoway's slap shot from the left point to make the final score 7-3.
In all, the Sioux line centered by Trupp with Gregoire and Frattin on the wings recorded four goals and six assists.
"I thought we've been a good line since we've been together," Trupp said. "We just haven't been able to bury our chances. We started clicking tonight as far as bearing down and finishing our chances. We need to keep that going."
On a team that has struggled to meet the high expectations set early in the season, Hakstol was pleased to play a game that saw the breaks go UND's way.
"It was nice to see us get a few things that bounced our way," he said. "We haven't had a whole lot of that, especially on the offensive side of the game. Maybe that will loosen us up a bit."
UND improves to 5-7-1 overall (4-5-1 WCHA) while Cornell falls to 4-1-2 (3-0-0 ECAC). The two teams will meet at 7:07 p.m. Saturday at Engelstad Arena for the second game of the series.

THERE was a time, not that long ago, when Jews and Presbyterians — in Denver and across the country — happily broke bread together.
There were shared trips to the Holy Land, plentiful opportunities for interfaith services and activities as well as joint action on human rights and social justice issues, particularly among Reform and Conservative Jews whose progressive agenda often coincided with that of Presbyterians.
Those days — at least for the moment — are over.
A resolution narrowly passed in June at the biennial General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) has become a painful wedge between the communities.
Although the resolution is actually quite narrow in focus, directing the national church to divest from three US corporations that sell military equipment which ultimately ends up in the hands of the Israel Defense Forces, Jews have taken serious umbrage to its passage.
In the wake of the 310-303 Presbyterian vote in favor of the resolution, American Jewish organizations and media have characterized the action as comparable to the activism of the BDS (boycott, divestment, sanctions) movement, as anti-Zionist, even — in a few cases — as anti-Semitic.
All of which, two Denver Presbyterian leaders told the Intermountain Jewish News last week, is dead wrong.
HAD Presbyterians actually taken all the anti-Israel actions many Jews apparently believe they did, said Anne Wainstein Bond, stated clerk of the Denver Presbytery, their anger might be justifiable.
"But I think it's based on a misunderstanding of what the action actually was," she says.
Rev. John Bell, pastor of Wellshire Presbyterian Church, the largest congregation in the Denver Presbytery, takes it a step further.
"This is a free country with a free press and Jews are certainly entitled to have whatever reaction they want," he says. "In this case, I believe that most of the criticism against the action that was taken is unjust, unfair and unwarranted."

Ron Kind (D-WI-3) Wants The Government To Track How Much Your Daughter Weighs
Hey, remember when we conservatives said that if you let the federal government into everybody's healthcare, pretty soon it will stick its peering eyes and groping hands into our personal business? Welcome to "pretty soon," thanks to Wisconsin Democrat Ron Kind.

I've just read the piece about the estimable Miss St Clair Pearce under 'Most read News'.
Have a butcher's guys – it's completely unreal. If you had any doubts about the worthlessness of our police force, this will cure you. The contrast now, between Britain and France is becoming so clear, as to represent a real challenge to the wa***rs at Westminster.
When the so-called 'travellers' got too cheeky in France, Sarkozy slung them out of the country. Did he pay regard to the ECHR? Did he cringe before the readership of minority left-wing newspapers or the liberal traitors in the media? Not a bit of it – and what do we hear about it now? Why, zilch!
There comes a point, when the filth in a society must be expunged. We have reached that point in multiple areas. There is this story and the Abu Hamza… Read more

New Jersey !!!!!!!! Christie would never play down South with the "Good Ol' Boys".
Chris Christie is getting a lot of love from his home state of New Jersey but the Republican party is blaming the Romney loss on him for bellying up to the President. Could this hurt Christie if he runs for President in 2016?
Read more at hotair.com.
New Jersey !!!!!!!! Christie would never play down South with the "Good Ol' Boys".
Take religion out of the party, until then, no contest
Republicans lost the election because they still feel the need to pander to the religious vote, if they adopted a platform of states rights for abortions and gay marriage i think more people would find that acceptable. Im a registered Republican but they lost my vote with the whole "Im gonna try to pass a federal marriage amendment" or "overturn roe v wade" , even though its just rhetoric, its stupid rhetoric. That being said, Christie would be a great VP candidate
4 years is a long time to go without any fuck-ups
FOX is the Death blow to the Right and I love the fact that they're too stupid to realize. Then again, the the Right's stronghold States are the absolute dumbest in out Country.
He probably won't even run. He doesn't run for anything
Obesity is a symbol of mental weakness.
I'll vote for Him, wish he got the nod and not that douche Mitt...
He has been on a hunger strike for six months...look he's nothing but skin and bones
How dare he try and help his state in the middle of an election.
Poor Fox, still in shock and looking for someone to blame ! Is it Christie ? is it Romney ? It must be voting irregularities ! Oh, where did it all go wrong ? What's on today's memo ? Everybody has to have the same talking points !!!
whats with the poll options that don't match the question posed?
I want more photos from Rolland that show Christie sleeping at Bruce shows.
He's got a better chance of being invited to Thanksgiving at Sprinsteen's house.
You can take the religion out of the party, but you can never take the party out of religion. At least that's what my Young Life counseler used to tell us.
Death Blow is my favorite fictional Seinfeld movie. Followed by Rochelle Rochelle, the Prognosis Negative.
@jerkstoresean why you gotta diss my really fat Governor. So what he is fat, atleast he isnt gay
@jerkstoresean If he's going to run for anything it will be the buffet.
@plastic thoughts So the entire Red State South is mentally weak? Ahhhh...That makes perfect sense!
Who elected Taft? The Chinese?
@IntObserver717 What does the Egg mean? I see it alot on twitter...
@BadNewsJeff Sack Lunch wasn't bad either.
@edrooney Yes. The majority of southerners are mentally weak, but all obese people are mentally weak.
@CraigGrossman @IntObserver717 It's this thing we do. You wouldn't understand.
Fair point. I bet his inauguration speech was the first time someone said "Get a load of fatso over there"

"Stain proof"
David Fahn
14 April 2009
I have tried my hardest to stain my saucepan. Not only does the infernal contraption shrug off baked beans, which is more than I can say for it's predessor, but it resists Turmeric! Turmeric, which I often use in soups, turned the imersible part of my blender yellow. stained my melamine spoon rest, brightened up the colour scheme of my mixing spoon and got an expensive white shirt i should never have been wearing in the kitchen but your stain proof microwave range resists it. I must confess that Turmeric was the secret weapon in my quest to stain your saucepan and I now concede defeat. This is a wonderful product, not only is it really stain proof but with its venting lid it has also stopped me painting the inside of my microwave oven with splattered beans (very Tracy Emin), scrambled egg (Very Damien Hurst) and a variety of soups and stews(Very me). Brilliant. I love it.

Dodge Stealth R/T Reviews
Dodge Stealth R/T Reviews and Owner Comments
This is one of the most fun to drive, reliable, surprisingly economical head turning cars I have ever owned. Other than oil changes, spark plugs and wires, and an alternator... I haven't had to replace anything. The one previous owner had a new head gasket, water pump and timing belt installed at 90k. It is a 5-speed and shifts so smooth, its a dream to drive. although I would like to spend a little more money on this car, I think I will be installing the twin turbo system to upgrade the power and capability on this car, I believe if this car is what they say it is, as one of the indy 500 starter cars, this machine can give me after a full engin upgrade atleast 650HP and a 3.5 torque or better will be worth the money.. "The Dream car" marlon, California .. Drop me a line and see what you think about it.. firstname.lastname@example.com
This is one of the most fun to drive, reliable, surprisingly economical head turning cars I have ever owned. Other than oil changes, spark plugs and wires, and an alternator... I haven't had to replace anything. The one previous owner had a new head gasket, water pump and timing belt installed at 90k. It is a 5-speed and shifts so smooth, its a dream to drive. Unlike the VR-4 which my uncle bought... I have had no problems at all other than the simple replacement of the alternator. He has had quite a bit of trouble with his Twin turbo model and spent thousands at the dealer... and for what? a car the can get to 60 a little over a second faster? Over all they are a great car. A little on the heavy side which is nice for traction but tough on gas. I get about 22 - 26 mpg with my DOHC 3.0. My uncle with the twin turbo gets about 18 when he's gentle on it... and when cruzin' around it drops to about 15. The interior is probably the biggest drawback... don't try to sit anyone in the back or it will be an uncomfortable ride for everyone in the car including the driver.... Its basically a 2 seater with 4 seats for better insurance rates. It has one of the best factory sound systems I have heard from any car. Incredible bass response with no sub-woofers and with 6 - speakers you can really feel it if you crank it up. Known Problems? These cars sometimes have trouble with the power antennas if they aren't oiled... The ECS system (Electronic Controlled Suspension) has wiring that goes to every strut to be able to adjust them from the driver's seat. Often if the light gets stuck on... it is because one of these wires has worked itself loose... its the first place to check if you have a blinking ECS light or a ECS system that is stuck in sport mode. The ECU's have short life capacitors in them which can leak electrolyte causing strange problems like idle surge, and sensors to seem to malfunction... I repaired mine with an 8 dollar kit I bought from ebay because I noticed 2 of mine had swollen and were about to leak... Never have had any problems. Do not let these cars sit un-driven for long periods of time. If you must let it be in a climate controlled garage (Jay Leno will tell ya) Particularly on these cars... stealth's and 3000's The piston rings like to seize up from rust building up in the cylinder walls (from humidity)... as well as gaskets, vacuum lines, hoses, and cams bearings all dry up, Animals can make exhausts and intakes their new homes... and a whole slew of other problems can arise from sitting. These baby's are meant to be driven or at least started and run once every 2 weeks or once a month minimum up to normal running temperature. There is much more I would like to write on here but I'll leave it at this. If anyone as any questions they can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
I just bought a used one. Other than two minor problems I think is was a steal... I need to fix a switch in the cruse control, reset the keyfaub ? and figure out how the alarm works. No manual

Consumer Review for C & J Trailways
Title: Easy, Professional And Always On TimeDate of Service: 3/2/2011
Type of Charter: Boston Logan Intl (BOS)
I have taken the C&J Trailways bus between Portsmouth and Boston (both downtown and Logan airport) many times. It is always on schedule - and it waits for no one, so be on time at the pick up location or it will roll without you! The buses are clean and pretty comfortable, there's free wi-fi, and bottled water. They are very strict about not eating and about not allowing cell phone usage. They offer free parking at their Portsmouth, Dover and Newburyport stations, which makes the bus the cheapest way to get to the airport since you don't need to pay for airport parking.

Go Off Road, Sleep Up Top
Make the mountains yours in an Xplore Jeep
A few years ago I drove from Bolivia to Tierra del Fuego in a stock Land Rover, a trip that involved a fair amount of futzing around with a backpacking tent and sleeping on the inhospitable ground. At a ferry crossing near the Carrera Austral I met two retired British army officers who were circumnavigating South America in a Land Rover Defender 110. This thing was the hot set-up: a camp stove integrated into the tailgate, a small foldout sink, a galley that pulled out on sliders and, best of all, a roof-mounted tent. After a long night of feasting and partying near Colhaique, Chile, these two simply unfolded the tent, climbed up the ladder and fell asleep, leaving me to unravel the mysteries of shock poles in the dark.
Keep your surreys with the fringe on top. I wanted an off-roader with a tent penthouse.
And now, as possibly the only soul in the 87,000-acre Henry W. Coe State Park (about 25 miles southeast of San Jose, Calif.), I'm glad I have one. Because, well, I'm not really alone. There are mountain lions out here. And I am unusually tasty, if I do say so myself.
Meet the Xplore Adventure Series 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, a turnkey stump-jumper put together by Venchurs Inc., which is described in the press kit as a "Michigan-based parts distribution and fulfillment company." Apparently Venchurs is branching out from the exciting world of logistics, and who could blame it? For a price Venchurs will put more gung-ho in your new Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee or Toyota FJ Cruiser. Ordered and delivered through new-car dealerships, Xplore vehicles come in three levels of intrepidity, called "stages." The vehicle I'm currently roosting above is a Stage 3, with a long list of rock-crawling equipment, including: bumpers and rock rails from ARB, the Australian specialty company; a Warn Winch; a Mopar 2.5-inch lift kit with Bilstein shocks; and 35-inch BF Goodrich KM2 off-road tires wrapped around some killer black-anodized Method wheels.
And an ARB-brand tent. A wonderful, comfortable, high-above-mountain-lion-level tent.
This is not, I should say, a vehicle for hardest-core off-road enthusiasts, an independent, DIY crowd for whom much of the joy and camaraderie of backcountry driving is the months and years of ordering parts out of aftermarket catalogs, bolting them on and obsessing about the minutiae of air-locking differentials. It's also not unusual for enthusiasts to stuff a hunk of motor—something in the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 range, may I suggest?—under the latching hood for even more wall-climbing torque. The grittiest trail hoppers will actually put welders on their vehicles for in-field repairs and rack-mounted Jerry cans of fuel and water for those extended trips, postapocalypse.
I seriously doubt our Xplore Wrangler's set of fancy motorized power steps, which fold out when you open the door, would survive a trip up the Rubicon Trail.
Xplore Adventure Series 2011 Jeep Wrangler
- Powertrain: 3.8-liter overhead valve V6; four-speed automatic transmission; two-speed transfer case; part-time four-wheel drive.
- Horsepower/torque: 202 hp at 5,200 rpm/237 pound-feet at 4,000 rpm
- Length/weight: 173.4 inches/4,300 pounds (est.)
- Wheelbase: 116.0 inches
- EPA fuel economy: 15/19 mpg, city/highway
- Cargo capacity: 46.4 cubic feet (behind second-row seats)
With its embroidered floor mats and suede seats, the Xplore Wrangler (about $60,000) is aimed more at the well-heeled dilettante in a hurry, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. The world is full of interesting things to do and too little time to do them. After all, no one insists you build your own sailboat to be a real sailor. And the fact is, you could spend months kitting out a Wrangler and not do as good a job as Venchurs has done. You wouldn't get the utterly cool matte-green paint job, either.
The Xplore Wrangler certainly feels authentic on the highway, with quadraphonic tire roar blasting from the BFGs' deep treads and a serious lack of top speed, thanks to the vehicle's aerodynamics. Indeed, the roof-mounted tent has approximately the same effect on highway speed as dragging a grand piano. For 2012 Jeep has replaced its hoary 3.8-liter overhead valve V6 with a 3.6-liter, 285-horsepower V6 (up 83 hp) as well as a five-speed automatic transmission, replacing the outdated four-speed auto box. The extra ponies and gear ratio will be welcome.
But once I wheel the truck onto Coe State Park's seemingly endless dirt roads, the Xplore Wrangler finds its footing. As off-roaders know, even a bone-stock Jeep Wrangler will go up, through and over just about anything you're likely to encounter and leave prissy Euro trucks like the Porsche Cayenne for dead on the trail. This thing has some 4x4 chops, for sure.
The roof-mounted tent takes some getting used to. Getting the heavy vinyl covering off the tent is itself a bit of a chore. The aluminum ladder, by which one levers the tent from the folded position, tends to bind up (this thing is brand new). If I didn't have a Leatherman tool with me to pry the ladder's latches apart I would never get tent stowed again. I would also note that the thick foam rubber mattress tends to get wedged between the tent's floor panels so that, while folding it back up, I have to shove the mattress in up to my elbow. I have visions of cutting my trapped arm off with the aforementioned Leatherman, "127 Hours" style. Here, kitty, kitty.
And then, camping bliss. I pull the Jeep onto a high, grass-amber hill just as sunset begins to purple the park's ridgelines. The tent deploys more cooperatively the second time, and within a minute or so I have set up camp. With my feet hanging out of the tent and reconstituted beef stew in my cup, I watch the stars come out. The coyotes yelp and the mountain lions, if they're out there, stalk off, disappointed.

The search for a missing Malaysia Airlines plane expanded on Wednesday to cover an area stretching from China to the Andaman Sea, with authorities no closer to explaining what happened to the plane or the 239 people on board.
Vietnam briefly scaled down search operations in waters off its southern coast, saying it was receiving scanty and confusing information from Malaysia over where the aircraft may have headed after it lost contact with air traffic control.
Hanoi later said the search - now in its fifth day - was back on in full force and was even extending on to land. China also said its air force would sweep land areas, although it did not specify where.
"We are expanding to the east of the expected route of the Malaysia Airlines flight and on land," Lieutenant General Vo Van Tuan, Vietnam's deputy army chief of staff and spokesman for its search and rescue committee, told reporters.
The confusion over where to look is adding to one of the most baffling mysteries in modern aviation mystery, and prolonging the agonising wait for hundreds of relatives of the missing.
Flight MH370 dropped out of sight an hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing early on Saturday, under clear night skies and with no suspicion of any mechanical problems.
Dozens of planes and ships have already searched tens of thousands of square miles of Malaysia and off both its coasts without finding a trace of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777.
Adding to the frustration and uncertainty, Malaysia's military has said the plane could have turned around from its planned flight path, but there were conflicting statements and reports about how far and in which direction it could have flown after communication with the aircraft was lost.
Malaysia's air force chief, Rodzali Daud, denied saying military radar had tracked Malaysia Airlines MH370 flying over the Strait of Malacca off the country's west coast, about 500 km (310 miles) from where it was last seen by air traffic control, about midway between the east coast town of Kota Bharu and Vietnam.
Malaysia's Berita Harian newspaper on Tuesday quoted Rodzali as saying the plane was last detected at the northern end of the Strait of Malacca at 2.40 a.m. on Saturday, more than an hour after it lost contact.
"It would not be appropriate for the Royal Malaysian Air Force to issue any official conclusions as to the aircraft's flight path until a

I am convinced that women could pee standing up, with the same accuracy as a man (which means, what, 90% accuracy?), if they practiced as often as men do.

A commenter says she remembers seeing these in roadside rest areas for a time. But, obviously, they didn't catch on. I suspect that they were made with women in skirts in mind, and involved squatting more so than standing and leaning back.

In any case, I like to imagine an alternative future in which women use urinals as easily and lightheartedly as men. It makes me appreciate the historical contingency of our everyday lives.

Born and raised in Cambridge, England, Brown began acting in high school. However, he didn't believe he could be an actor until his early twenties, when he attended a summer drama camp in Scotland. After deciding the screen was where he wanted to be, Brown landed his first role in the BBC TV movie "The Merry Wives of Windsor" (1982) and began writing plays shortly thereafter. By the end of the decade he'd won the Samuel Beckett (in 1987 for his play "Sanctuary") and landed the role of Danny, a nostalgic drug dealer, in the cult film "Withnail & I." After a string of appearances in British TV series and movies, Brown appeared in Neil Jordan's Oscar-winning "The Crying Game," which he quic... Continue Bio >>

Officially known as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Coachella is hands-down one of the year's best festivals in terms of weird names, multiple days of camping in hard to reach locations, and most importantly, killer line-ups. Founded in 1999, Coachella has the benefit of over a decade of debauched chicanery under its belt and clearly understands the needs of the post-hippie, including but not limited to clean, stocked Porta-Potties, gourmet snacks, and of course, the hipster crack of any bona fide festival, a line-up of bands that were actually good this year. If you're above the poverty line and trying to figure out what the hell's the difference between a Bonaroo, a Sasquatch and a Burning Man, the Nostalgia Advisory Board has given its seal of approval to the Coachella 2012 line-up. For the first time in its life, the festival will take place over two consecutive weekends and feature the same line-ups each weekend. As of today, Coachella 2012 ticket prices for three-day passes range from $485 to $1649 for the first weekend (April 13 - 15) and $374 to $2121 for the second weekend (April 20 – 23). Keep in mind that Coachella tickets for 2011 sold out in six days so you might want to crack that steel trap of a wallet back open and keep your credit card handy because those prices are only inching in one direction. If you're having trouble deciding which stage or tent to check out on your "Coachooser" smart phone app, we've compiled a list of some of the highlights from each day.
The Black Keys are headlining Friday's line-up with tracks from their excellent new album El Camino, M83 will play their everybody's year-end, best-of-list favorite "Midnight City" (complete with horn solo), Amon Tobin and his matrix-like DJ box will be there, Cat Power will probably debut new material she's been working on, Frank Ocean will premiere songs from his new album and the crowd will predictably go insane for this lyric from "Novacane":
"Met her at Coachella, I went to see Jigga, she went to see z-trip. Perfect. I took a seat on the ice cold lawn, she handed me an ice blue bong."
Back from the dead/90s: BritPoppers Jarvis Cocker and Pulp are continuing their reunion tour ("I want to sleep with common people like you") and Mazzy Star will probably play "Fade into You" (which is sure to brighten up many a k-hole).
Radiohead are book-ending their Mexican shows with each weekend of Coachella and will mostly be playing material from the King of Limbs and In Rainbows sessions as well as some new songs they've been working on, Bon Iver's still riding high on the fumes from the unbelievable success of their self-titled indie-bluegrass album, the Broken Bells James Mercer is back with The Shins' new line-up and music from their forthcoming album, Oasis singer-songwriter Noel Gallagher is playing with the High Flying Birds and will probably play some Oasis covers and DJs David Guetta and Kaskade are spinning into the wee hours for the club set. Be sure to scope out dubstep standout SBTRKT, Neutral Milk Hotel singer and indie legend Jeff Mangum's fantastic acoustic set, Godspeed You! Black Emperor's ominous, orchestral, post-rock, multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bird's mental solo show, music from Feist and St. Vincent's new albums and Flying Lotus' awesome live set. Catch 20-year-old Harlem indie-rap breakout artist Azealia Banks at one of her first major dates, see Community's Donald Glover as Childish Gambino singing standout track "Heartbeat," and fall in love with "Chapel Song" from the debut album of We Are the Augustines, Rise Ye Sunken Ships.
On day 3 you can see the G-Funk reunion of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg taking hits from The Chronic which sounds just as fresh today as it did in the 90s. Justice is back with their latest, Audio, Video, Disco. The French electronic duo got shut down by the police at their Creator's Project set in Brooklyn. Fortunately Coachella is open all night. Florence and the Machine will be playing their epic tracks from Ceremonials, and Florence Welch's voice is truly something to experience live. Beirut is touring their latest album Rip Tide and retooling some of their older work for their ultra-nerdy but sweet live performances. Abel Tesfaye and the Weeknd are playing one of their first stateside shows and covering material from their three mixtapes. Tesfaye's pitch-perfect Michael Jackson falsetto should level the crowd in attendance. Girl Talk's attention deficit mash-ups and legendary sweaty mosh pits, the return of DJ Shadow (who everyone secretly hopes will just play Entroducing…), a possible appearance by Thom Yorke with Modeselektor, and new material from Santigold round out day three. There's so much more happening but this should get you started.

As Americans, we've implemented a lifestyle that does not promote saving and virtually glamorizes debt. It has become easier than ever before to find cash for the minor problems of life. The companies offering capital for these scenarios generally start a horrible cycle of debt though everyone has an emergency from time to time. Once you have maxed out your charge cards and spent that money you had been protecting, here is the unavoidable moment that you will have your car break down, or you will need to get towards the physician's office. Emergencies' list might be endless.
Today, the facts of the matter is the fact that lots of customers using paydayloans do not have credit cards, or had very poor credit, or abused and abused their credit, and now they are in a touch. Below are a few realistic ways to pay off your consolidate payday loans .
For individuals who are striving to keep up with debt funds and paydayloans online are now being employed for price of bills, it may be occasion for to appear more in to the issue and find along term answer. Debt advisors are available to aid repair budgets and educate consumers how-to handle their revenue more effectively. Draining down debt into groups in order to prioritize funds is among the first actions. Determining the basis towards the troubles is also a must.
Who'd unafraid of the threats? Many people who receive these phone calls are the ones who did obtain a pay day loan online sooner or later or another. Let's experience it; pay day loan borrowers are repeat individuals. It is possible that one may overlook which internet organizations. Upon receiving one of these simple calls, one may believe that they forgot to repay the financial institution and today is the time to pay them back.
Prevent getting trapped in an endless cycle of debt. You shouldn't get a paydayloan to get the amount of money to cover the notice on another. Separate the mortgage routine even although you must create some other sacrifices for a brief while. It is super easy for you to get found in a never-ending funding pattern, if you don't take practical ways to avoid it. It might cost you a good deal of income.
High credit card bills are the next warning sign. These large balances even though well below the borrowing limit will eventually catch-up. The companies will lower your credit that is accessible. This will put your credit history within the cellar that will make them raise funds and your rates of interest. For those who have more than 2 or 3 available cards, this is often disastrous to your future. Exciting before it increases up-to bite you if you could destroy this monster. Do whatever it will take to nip this since possible. As you are able to retain the total of your debt that is excellent as low. In the event you can not retire the previous people, do not get a fresh card.
Many individuals prevent paydayloans because of the interest that is high. For upping your value nevertheless, when merging with the same payday bank, your prices are considerably decreased. Companies offering consolidating loans are this more within your favor than theirs typically. You could look at credit counseling and money management tips' benefit from your payday lender also.
Eventually, your credit history might be slightly influenced as a result of Payday Loan Consolidation system. However, when you meet all your obligations, your report will start increasing.

I started doing stained glass a few years ago when I went on a weekend course given by Lynette Wrigley in Camden Town. There I learnt the 'copper foil' technique, where each piece of glass is first wrapped in sticky copper foil, then placed together and soldered along the whole of the edges. I later used a video to learn the more traditional leading method, where the pieces of glass are slotted into strips of lead, which then only need to be soldered at the joins.
I prefer geometric designs, sometimes with a mathematical or statistical background, in bold colours. I make things for myself and friends, although I did once sell a Christmas decoration for £1.50 at a car-boot sale.
Here are a few examples of bigger pieces - click on the images to see a larger version. Some further background is sometimes provided.
This is the first piece I did - the rather corny design is copied. Probably my first and last representational work.
Chromatic Scale
This has got a musical connection.
Sri Yantra
This traditional Hindu meditation aid has a complex geometric structure.
This is my bathroom door. I replaced the glass from a door that used to be in a pub.
Isaac Newton bought his first prism from Stourbridge Fair in Cambridge, close to where I got the door stripped.
Latin Square
This is the pattern of the first 8 x 8 latin square in Fisher and Yates statistical tables, 1938. The idea is stolen from the memorial window to RA Fisher in Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.
St Marks
This is copied from a tile pattern on the floor of St Marks in Venice, and currently sits above my front door. The purple does not show up properly in this photo - I also wish I had left the design as a simple rectangle instead of meddling with the shape.
Wheel of Life
This is based on the the Wheel of Life - a traditional Tibetan Buddhist 'teaching aid'. The colours are those of the archetypal Buddhas who form the antidote for each of the six realms. (The purple frame does not show up in this photo which was taken in the evening.)
Chris's Door
Above the front door of a friend in Cambridge (I will get a better photo later.)
A 32 x 33 rectangle can be divided into unique squares of side 1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15 and 18. Try it. Any resemblance to Mondrian's style in the 1920's is purely deliberate.
Beta distributions
Prior (blue) and posterior (green) beta distributions from a Bayesian analysis, including a normalised Binomial likelihood (yellow) for 15 successes out of 20 Bernoulli trials. The red area indicates the posterior probability of a success rate greater than 70%. I apologise to those for whom this is completely incomprehensible.
Brain map
This is a commission for the Brain Mapping Unit, constructed in four panels. It shows a cross-section of the brain obtained from functional MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). I shall put in a better picture when it is properly mounted.
This shows a heart with transposition of the great arteries, a congenital condition in which the 'blue' blood from the right ventricle goes to the aorta and 'red' blood from the left ventricle goes to the pulmonary artery and back to the lungs. The 'purple' parts represent the minimal connections between the systems that enable the baby to stay alive until a corrective 'switch' operation can be performed.
If you have any comments on any of these designs, please mail me on email@example.com

Buying out connected home device maker Nest for $3.2 billion in hard cash, Google has put its money on the Internet of Things or Thingternet. It has paid a huge premium on a company valued at $2 billion, and its a sound gamble. Couple the IoT with the rise of big data and peer-to-peer, always-on, always-connected computing over IPv6 and you have the makings of a boom which is almost already happening. Googles expression of interest can only accelerate what was upon us anyway. In short, if you know people who are building fiddly little machines which have RFID or their own IP addresses and can talk to each other across the internet, invest hand over fist and become incredibly rich in about five years. The word is that such devices, ranging from coffee makers to baggage trackers, will number in the billions by 2020. Google is buying in early to ensure that most of them run Android. It is a huge market, ranging from just-in-time global inventory management to refrigerators which know precisely how much beer they contain and can order electronically as needed.
With Nest, Google has chosen to invest first in the intelligent home. Back in 2011, executive chairman Eric Schmidt had indicated an interest in home automation, a theme that reappeared in his 2013 book, The New Digital Age. The idea of the intelligent home, whose Venetian blinds adjust automatically to ambient light, and whose climate control can be triggered by residents well before they get home, has been the stuff of science fiction for half a century. But it was traditionally conceived as a centrally controlled facility on the lines of the client-server model. Schmidt introduced a crucial change: in his automated home, devices talk to each other and to external servicesdirectly, not through a central server, not with human oversight.
Google had invested first in the Open Automotive Alliance and Sebastian Thruns driverless car. Now, with the Nest acquisition, it is taking a position in the homes and offices which that car will commute between. The companys flagship product is a net-connected thermostat which saves the user the bother of reading the manual. It programs itself, based on how the user changes temperatures through the day, and on temperature and humidity data picked up by its own sensors. Since it is net-connected, it can be controlled remotely by a phone app. But in the future, if

Two attempts have been made to auction spectrum in the 1800 MHz band. Both have failed despite reduction of base price in the second attempt. The government is readying itself for a third attempt by further reducing the base price substantially. Will the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) be third-time lucky?
There are several issues with the 1800 MHz band. First, the spectrum proposed for auction is largely fragmented and, therefore, can at best be used for 2G services. Is there a demand for more spectrum for 2G services? Operators such as Tata Teleservices who do not have spectrum for vanilla mobile services in Delhi need it. There are a few other areas where there may be similar demand.
However, with stagnating growth in mobile connections, there seems to be little scope for across-the-board demand for spectrum that is suitable essentially only for 2G services. Another factor to consider is the fact that the spectrum user charge (SUC) as a percentage of revenue increases with quantum of spectrum held. With diminishing or stagnant revenues, operators are not likely to want to accumulate any more spectrum. The picture may change if Trais recommendation for flat rate SUC is accepted despite a telecom panels rejection of this recommendation. As for new operators coming in, it would indeed be a surprise if any one would want to invest in 2G market in India, which is already crowded and growth is stagnanting.
Why a scramble for licences happened in 2008 is well known and cannot be expected to repeat. If there were a contiguous 5 MHz slot available, one could have expected some interest and even the possibility of FDI. The recent print media reports on objections from the defence ministry further narrows down the availability of contiguous spectrum.
The government needs more revenues and FDI from spectrum auction but, clearly, going the 1800 MHz band auction route is not the solution. What are the alternatives?
For an auction to succeed, the offered commodity has to be what the market wants. In the case of spectrum, it has to be of a type where services desired by the customer can be offered. It has to bear a price tag that is acceptable in the market. It has to be internationally harmonised to ensure that the ecosystem favours inexpensive customer end-devices besides low-cost equipment to the operator. Let us examine various spectrum bands against these criteria.
In terms of consumer demand, it

It looks like Apple has just gotten its hand slapped away from Samsung's cookie jar – according to a report this morning on AllThingsD. Judge Lucy Koh, the judge overseeing the Apple-Samsung patent trial threw out part of the billion dollar verdict Apple had previously won in the long-running case and ordered a new trial to determine damages for patent infringement. The decision on Friday affects around $450 million of the $1.05 billion awarded by a jury.
"Because the Court has identified an impermissible legal theory on which the jury based its award, and cannot reasonably calculate the amount of excess while effectuating the intent of the jury, the Court hereby orders a new trial on damages for the following products: Galaxy Prevail, Gem, Indulge, Infuse 4G, Galaxy SII AT&T, Captivate, Continuum, Droid Charge, Epic 4G, Exhibit 4G, Galaxy Tab, Nexus S 4G, Replenish, and Transform," Koh wrote in her ruling.
If Apple and Samsung can't come to some sort of agreeable settlement, a brand new trial will have to be held to once again determine what Samsung owes Apple for infringement of the products mentioned in Judge Koh's order, as opposed to the $450 million awarded by the initial jury in the case. The judge disagreed with how the jury calculated the amount of damages, but did not throw out their decision on the infringement. Koh did not rule against determination on 14 other products, upholding nearly $600 million in damages.
In a statement to AllThingsD, Samsung praised Koh's verdict on Friday:
"Samsung intends to seek further review as to the remaining award," the company said. "We are also pleased that the court earlier found that Samsung had not acted willfully, denied Apple's request for a permanent injunction, and denied Apple's motion for increased damages."

That's why it's unique to see a band like Social Distortion, who after 25 years plus in the club trenches, is still taking no prisoners in concert.
This Orange County, Calif.,-based Punk band has endured drug addictions, the death of a founding member and waning popularity, all the while holding true to their original vision: Punk blended with a roots influence.
Envision a hybrid sound of The Clash and Johnny Cash, and you're not far away from the inspiration of group founder Mike Ness.
Ness began Social D in 1979 in a Southern California suburb and released their debut, Mommy's Little Monster, in 1983. Like The Ramones, Social D has changed band member lineups multiple times through the years, but their initial sound has stayed much the same.
Social Distortion plays Bogart's at 8 p.m. Wednesday with The Strangers and Middle Class Rut. Tickets are $28.50 at the door.
Get show details and find a link to Gregory Gaston's 2007 CityBeat interview with Jonny "2 Bags" Wickersham, Social D's second guitarist, here.
