I had a chance to talk to Miya Bailey at the Tattoos For a Cure Convention in Los Angeles back in April. Miya, with Tuki Carter, have built Atlanta's City of Ink Tattoo into a household name in the city, and garnered a well deserved rep beyond. Here's how the conversation went...
I've been tattooing since '93.
How did you start out, was it an organic process?
It started out, first, because of poverty. I was living in the projects. I had a baby. I was a father. I was really trying to make a way for my children.
So what I did, like anybody from the hood, I started to do it the home way, but I knew I couldn't get past hood money doing it that way. I knew I was a businessman by nature so I decided to follow the right path and get an apprenticeship, which was hard in the early '90's -- it was '93 so trying to find an apprenticeship took a long time. I researched a couple of shops and ended up West End Tattoo.
How did you choose that shop?
I wasn't choosing it. I went down the phone book in alphabetical order and was denied down to the W's.
Almost 3 years. From Julia [Alponsio, formerly of West End], I learned the aspects of sterilization, professional tattooing and also the business aspect. I believe that you can be a talented artist, but if you have no business sense, you're not really going to make it.
How did your experiences as an apprentice affect how you choose your apprentices now?
My apprenticeship was hard. For my shop, I like competition; everyone wants to feel that they are the best artist. The way to prove that you're the best artist is to outdo the next person. That's what I try to instill in my apprentices.
Tuki and I learned tattoo from bikers, old school bikers, so we had to learn the traditional way and learn the aspect of old school biker culture. The shop was run by the Outcasts Biker gang.
The owner of the shop was female property of the Outcasts Biker club; therefore, everyone in the club was our boss, her husband was our boss also. So we learned and worked a lot.
I assume these were white boys?
When I lived in Asheville, NC, I tattooed mostly white clientele. When I moved to Atlanta, which is a mostly black city, I tattooed all blacks. The actual truth is the Outcasts Biker Gang is a black biker gang. Atlanta is a chocolate city.
I didn't have much experience tattooing white skin until I started to develop my own style in the early 90s. A lot of people don't know this but I was into the Gothic style, you know, zombies and dark imagery.
This was the era of Paul Booth, and anything that Paul Booth was doing at the time, everyone followed.
Let's talk about your inspiration for painting as well. What came first: the tattooing or the painting?
I've been drawing all my life. I'm an illustrator first; I've been doing illustrations since I was a kid. The earliest drawing I have is from '79 -- it's recognizable, you can tell what it was even though I was young. I started painting in '97, and professionally tattooing in '94.
Is there any connection between your painting and your tattooing?
No, with tattooing I have to listen to someone else's ideas and be inspired by them. I have a lot of clients who say, "I just want you to do anything," but you can't really just do anything. I might be in the mood to do a bunny rabbit on somebody, you know, then they are like "I didn't have that in mind." So you have to see the personality -- it has to spark something in me; I have to be inspired by the client. They have to move me some way.
In painting, I'm not thinking about business. In tattooing, I'm thinking about mass appeal -- how other tattooists are going to react to the tattoo. I'm thinking of everyone else except myself. In painting, I'm only thinking about myself, not about sales, the message. I'm not worried about anything; it's just a free flowing of my life and my culture. The life I live, that's my paintings. I see painting as my vacation from tattooing.
I look at tattooing as more as more of a 50/50 of business and art. In painting, I take the business aspect out of it: it's raw pure art.
In Atlanta do you have a lot of contact with other artists? Is there a lot of collaboration.
The tattoo shops really don't collab because of the business aspects to it, but the artists know each other. The tattoo community in Atlanta is pretty close knit. We're cool with the shop that me and Tuki started in. We're cool with all of our apprentices. We paid our dues, we didn't burn any bridges, and we didn't step on anybody's toes. We created our own lane, so everybody gotta have to respect that, unless you're just a real hater. We are cool with all the artists that come to our art shows.
So you have art shows at the City of Ink?
It's an art gallery first and foremost. We do a new show every month. The next is the Corey Davis solo show.
We open up to anybody; we're the only art gallery in Atlanta that doesn't ask for a percentage of the sales. Our goal is to really start a movement where the artists can make money and stop undercutting other artists. My number one goal is to show that artists can be millionaires.
The more freedom you have, the better artwork you have. A lot of times, when an artist is not worried about paying that phone bill, that power bill, you can create what's real and what's raw. In Europe, they respond to artists; they pay artists to be artists. In America, the lack of art is really bad.
Quincy Jones said we don't have an ambassador of arts and music. I think we need one.
In Atlanta is there a black tattoo scene?
We are the black tattoo scene, period. We got another couple of artists, but they all started from one shop. The Atlanta tattoo culture started in West End [...] It's changing now, but in the early 90's, there were no other black shops in Atlanta.
Personally, I think it's totally opposite than tattooing white skin -- it's a completely opposite thing. It's like going to any beauty salon: a white woman would get a perm one way, a black woman will get a perm a different way. You can't use the same methods you would when your tattooing white skin.
If you're a tattoo artist and you master black skin, you can easily move over to white skin. But just because you're good on white skin, doesn't mean you can do just anything on black skin. It's surgery and art, 50/50.
Are there any colors you stay away from?
No, I don't believe in that color thing. You know how they say black skin is limited in colors, but no, it's all about how you slow down -- and who's training you. You know we learned through trial and error at City of Ink. Every artist, we master each color one at a time. The same way you apply yellow, you wouldn't apply purple; the way you apply greens, you won't apply reds. We learn each color in.
On white skin, you can work a lot of colors the same way. On black skin, if you're using yellow, you have to ease up a little bit. A lot of people think you have to drill it in, but if you soften up a little bit, you might have a better result.
So it's about tuning your machine as well?
Fine tune your machine and you're good to go. That's what it's about. Your tattoo machine and working the inks that you got. It's not all about the name brand of the ink and all this stuff. It's all about who's training you and how you take your time doing it.
Then it's a longer time to put the tattoo in, you can't rush through it?
You can't rush through it because it will show. It will show.
We talked about the art, now let's talk about the business of tattooing. Many tattoo artists aren't as organized as you are or have your managerial skills. Do you put a lot of thought into this?
I'm really big on leadership, and I'm really big on business. When me and Tuki were putting City of Ink together, my mind state was Barry Gordy, you know how Barry Gordy put Motown together. He groomed his artists, he showed them how to market, he showed them how to dress, he showed them everything.
Tuki is a fashion icon in Atlanta, and he started a whole culture of how people dress in Atlanta. So I thought that would be a good way to market our artists, with a little of Tuki's fashion sense to give an image to the shop. With that image, you can promote it.
With us its not just an [art] apprenticeship about tattoos, we teach all aspects of business. Number one: it's about business. Number 2: it's about appearances and how you carry yourself. A lot of people don't know that we all had dreadlocks, we were all wild. That image scared a lot of people off, so we decided to all cut our hair off. It was a business decision.
We changed the location. We changed the name of the shop [previously, Prophet Art]. People were scared of the word "prophet" so we changed it to City of Ink, based on the movie City of God.
You fine tuned your business model to the masses.
To promote it there is nothing wrong with that; to me, tattooing is commercial now anyway. I didn't want to make it so commercialized that other tattoo artists got mad at me but I wanted to do it before another shop did.
The number one thing is that you tattoo because you love it, but you still have to make money.
We are learning as we go; we haven't mastered everything yet, but we haven't reached a million dollars yet either. We want to inspire other people in other cities that you can be an artist and not be a "starving artist." We want to destroy that whole image of the starving artist. I think artists should make the same money as athletes. We use our minds and bodies. I just think we should make more money than football players and basketball players. That's just my opinion.
What is next for City of Ink?
Next is dropping this Hollyweerd album. It's Tuki and his group. It's a whole culture, it's a lifestyle, it's music, it's fashion, it's art, it's business -- it's all these aspects of being free, and freedom is our number one message.

Paid Services or Free Services?
Should you become a premium member or continue to rely on free country data? This is an excellent question.
As Country IP Blocks transitions to a paid services model, we will still offer some free services. But the free data will generally be 30 to 60 days old as compared to Premium Services which will be updated daily, and thus the most current possible.
If you are a Premium Services Member your data will always be current, but free services users will have to settle for being behind by 30 to 60 days. How will this affect your data?
A good example is a quick look at the previous month. In March, 112,563,200 IPv4 addresses changed hands. That is a change of nearly one-hundred-thirteen-million.
Since February, nearly two-hundred million addresses have changed hands.
If your network and website security is important, and we have to assume it is or you would not be using our data, then you need to have data that is current as of today, not two months ago.
Our Premium Membership is your guaranteed access to the most up to date network to country, network to continent and network to RIR data available.
You can continue using our free data, you can pay our competitors to have data that is one week or one month old. But why not have the most recent data available?
Country IP Blocks Premium Membership is coming in just a few days. Ask yourself a simple question, "Can I afford to rely on 30-60 day old data?"
We think the answer should be no.

Groundspeak Weekly Newsletter – October 19, 2011
Geocaching Live
Sometimes, you end up places where you never expected to be. Maybe you ran into friends headed to the beach and decided to hop in the car, or perhaps your flight was diverted and you're stuck somewhere overnight.
Had you known in advance that you were going to this unexpected location, you might have downloaded a Pocket Query (if you're a Premium Member) or printed out a few cache pages (if you're a Basic Member). But because you didn't know, you weren't prepared to go geocaching.
Groundspeak's Geocaching application for smart phones solves this problem. The application provides direct access to the Geocaching.com database, so you can search for, find and log geocaches in the field. You can even filter search results by cache type, cache size, and difficulty and terrain ratings. Many people use a smartphone loaded with the application as their primary GPS device, while others prefer to plug the coordinates into their handheld GPS and use the application to access cache information, view photo galleries, move Trackables and log their finds.
However you choose to use the app, you'll find that it allows you more flexibility when planning for your geocaching adventures. Groundspeak's Geocaching application is available on iPhone, Android and Windows Phone 7 devices. Application cost is US $9.99.
There are also several third-party applications that use our public API, with more coming soon. Check them out here.

Bozeman Montana real estate demand measured by the Market Action Index is increasing and days on-market is trending down. Even as more Bozeman properties come available, these are positive trends for the Bozeman homes market.
The Bozeman homes market has shown some evidence of slowing recently. Both prices and inventory levels are relatively unchanged in recent weeks. Watch the Market Action Index for changes as it can be a leading indicator for price changes.
This week's Bozeman homes prices remained relatively flat. However the recent trends have us pulling back from the market's high points. The Market Action Index is a good leading indicator for the durability of this Bozeman real estate trend.
Bozeman home prices have settled at a price plateau across the board. Prices in all four quartiles are basically mixed. Look for a persistent shift (up or down) in the Market Action Index before prices move from these current levels.
The Bozeman market's downward trends are shared across both price and value. People interested in Bozeman, Montana are recently placing less value on homes. Look for significant changes in the Market Action Index as a precursor to price and value changes, possibly as inflection points for good investment opportunities.
Bozeman real estate inventory has been climbing lately. Note that rising inventory alone does not signal a weakening market. Look to the Market Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is keeping up with available supply.
The Bozeman homes market is currently strongly in the Buyer's Advantage zone (below 30). The 90-day Market Action Index stands at 14.29. With several months of inventory available at the current sales rate, buyers should find ample choice.
Not surprisingly given the overall Market Action Index, all quartiles are in the Buyer's Market zone with several months of inventory given the current rate of demand for Bozeman homes in the quartile. Watch the quartile for changes before the overall market shifts. Often one end of the Bozeman market (e.g. the low end) will improve and signal a strengthening market before the whole group changes.
The median list price for BOZEMAN, MT real estate homes Week 3, May 2013 is $514,900.
303 properties have been on the market for an average of 223 days.

And 'La Bamba' was always somewhere in that stack."

What Anthropologie's New Plus-Size Clothing Means for Women - The Atlantic
At its best, fashion is fun. It's a way to give visual form to your identity and tell people a little about yourself. But fashion, at its corporate core, is also about the maintenance of social hierarchies. The companies that dominate American malls and e-commerce help decide which bodies get to be perceived as professional or capable or sexy.

Topeka Man Pleads Guilty To Bank Fraud In Junction City Apartment Deal
TOPEKA, KAN. - A Topeka man has pleaded guilty to federal bank fraud charges in connection with a plan to build an apartment complex in Junction City, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said today.
John Wyatt Duncan, Jr., 52, Topeka, Kan., pleaded guilty to two counts of bank fraud, one count of money laundering and one count of making false statements in documents required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
In court documents, Duncan was alleged to have obtained a $15.2 million construction loan for the purpose of constructing Quinton Pointe Apartments in Junction City. He was required to provide $1,225,000 in collateral. He signed a letter to the lender, University National Bank of Lawrence, Kan., falsely stating that lumber for the construction of the apartment complex, representing collateral for the loan, was prepaid in full and being held by Schmidt Builders, a company for which he was chief executive officer. He instructed employees of Schmidt Builders to create a false invoice in an amount of more than $1.3 million to a company he owned called Blue Jay Properties LLC in order to create the false appearance that Blue Jay Properties had prepaid Schmidt Builders for the lumber.
In another count, Schmidt Builders acquired a $12 million line of credit loan from Kaw Valley National Bank of Topeka and agreed to provide the bank with monthly financial reports. Duncan submitted reports to the bank containing false information about the age of certain accounts receivable and the amount of inventory on hand.
Sentencing is set for Dec. 16. He faces a maximum penalty of 30 years and a fine up to $1 million on each of the bank fraud counts, a maximum penalty of 10 years and a fine up to $250,000 on the money laundering and a maximum penalty of five years and a fine up to $250,000 on the count of making false statements. Grissom commended the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigations Division; the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of Inspector General; the Federal Reserve Board, Office of Inspector General; the U.S. Department of Labor and Assistant U.S. Attorney Duston Slinkard for their work on the case.

Steve Jones sent me this link on time management that discusses two things – getting 'ambushed' at the start of the day with unexpected tasks and the power of ritual. It was timely (as it were) because I'd just had a miserable day where I had some goals to hit and spent most of the day reacting to calls and requests.
The article puts the emphasis on making your list first, and then reading email. I like that, but I'm not sure it's always possible depending on the job and situation. In the case of this particular day I elected to prioritize things that I felt would benefit from immediate attention at the expense of my planned agenda. Good decision or bad? It felt bad at the time because it wasn't what I wanted to do – I wanted to finish the final 2% of something I'd been on for longer than planned and put it away for good.
Ritual, aka patterns, are definitely one of the ways that most people win, including me. They aren't inherently good or bad, they just are. I don't think you get the big wins by never changing from the pattern, but you don't get the big wins by deviating a lot either.
Not sure I've learned a lesson though I know it's there to be learned. One thought that does come to mind is that I think this is marginally easier when you work on or with a team because you can get some feedback - 'should I change course for this?'. I usually work solo and just have to make the call on day to day stuff.

I'm planning to build a new system this winter. I'd love to put a SATA 3 (6GB/s) SSD in it, for the OS, like one of the Crucial C300s. But I'm finding mixed reports on how well this setup is supported by the Linux kernel. I found one report (ubuntu) that it works full speed with a boot option "libata.force=noncq", to turn off NCQ.
Anyone on the forum try this yet -- any experiences to report?

I have answered my own question, while building a new system and installing aptosid. I will share here the information, for anyone else who is interested.
motherboard: Asus P6X58D-E
CPU: Intel i7-950
SSD: OCZ RevoDrive OCZSSDPX-1RVD0120 PCI-E x4 120GB
Other info is in infobash below. The Marvell controller on the SSD is not an issue for Linux -- but it might be a BIG problem for the BIOS on your motherboard. On the Asus P6X58D-E (AMI BIOS, updated), once the default RAID0 array on the SSD is disabled, neither of the "drive" devices would appear in the BIOS bootable devices list, even after trying all the suggestions on the OCZ forum. However, I found that Linux (Live CD) had no problem seeing the two 60GB "drives" on the SSD, and I could use fdisk to do the partition alignment. Therefore, I installed an old WD740 SATA drive, and set a 1GB ext4 boot partition on it, and used that to install Grub and /boot, when I installed aptosid on the first SSD drive. I put my 20GB Win 7 VM on the second SSD drive, which is also a ext4 filesystem. After it ran stable for a few days, I set the ext4 mount options for a desktop SSD (discard,noatime,commit=300), and mounted /tmp and the /var logs in tmpfs, to minimize system writing on the SSD. I set swappiness and other vm settings in /etc/sysctl.conf to go easy on the SSD.
I also wanted to experiment with the new btrfs filesystem, using the new WD drives. According to the wiki, the default btrfs configuration on a multi-drive installation is for data to be striped, but metadata is mirrored. Therefore, I connected the two WD drives to the two SATA 3 connectors on the P6X58D-E, and used mkfs.btrfs to set a single btrfs filesystem across both drives, and then set it up for automatic mounting in /etc/fstab. It has been running for 6 days now. I have been making some DVD ISO images, saving them, then deleting them, making new directories, then deleting them, etc., plus I copied about 200GB of music files onto it along with my docs and images. I see some anomalies with the way the btrfs usage statistics are shown, but the filesystem seems to work correctly and very fast from the CLI. For example the "1%" in the infobash output below is not correct. Here is df -h:
root@aptosidbox:/home/don# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 51G 6.0G 43G 13% /
tmpfs 3.0G 8.0K 3.0G 1% /lib/init/rw
udev 3.0G 256K 3.0G 1% /dev
tmpfs 3.0G 588K 3.0G 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sdc1 56G 23G 31G 43% /mnt/REVODATA
/dev/sda1 1012M 100M 861M 11% /boot
/dev/sda2 68G 180M 64G 1% /mnt/WHATEVER
/dev/sde 1.9T 367G 1.5T 20% /mnt/DATA
none 3.0G 196K 3.0G 1% /tmp
none 3.0G 15M 3.0G 1% /var/tmp
none 3.0G 932K 3.0G 1% /var/log
none 3.0G 0 3.0G 0% /var/spool
Note that it only reports one of the btrfs devices (/dev/sde, but not /dev/sdd), but it includes the full filesystem size on the two 1TB drives. Here is the btrfs filesystem spanning the two WD drives:
root@aptosidbox:/# btrfs fi show /dev/sde
Label: none uuid: 8206cc53-cf7d-4fa1-a62f-b358aedc8658
Total devices 2 FS bytes used 365.32GB
devid 1 size 931.51GB used 207.53GB path /dev/sdd
devid 2 size 931.51GB used 207.51GB path /dev/sde
Anyone who needs more details is welcome to PM me. Comments welcome. If a mod thinks this looks a "dragon", it's OK to move it.

A discrimination lawsuit filed by a former manager of a Home Depot in Burbank against the company was settled earlier this month, court records show.
Last month, a U.S. District judge ordered an independent mental evaluation of Danielle Mailhoit, who claimed she was fired in 2010 due to gender discrimination and because she suffers from vertigo.
She claimed the company didn't make appropriate accommodations for her condition, an allegation Home Depot denies.
The company countered that there were valid reasons for Mailhoit's termination, stating "there existed legitimate, nondiscriminatory and nonretaliatory reasons" for her dismissal.
The trial was scheduled to begin Feb. 19 in Santa Ana, but a settlement was reached on Feb. 15, according to court documents.
Attorneys for both sides did not respond to requests for more information about the settlement.

COLORADO SPRINGS — The El Paso County commissioners met in emergency session Friday, and the FBI and local district attorney indicated they are looking into potential misconduct in the sheriff's office.
All come in the wake of allegations published Friday in The Gazette that Sheriff Terry Maketa had sexual relationships with three subordinates and promoted them to top jobs.
An FBI special agent in Colorado Springs called The Gazette on Friday and asked for any financial documents the newspaper might have relating to the sheriff's office. He said he was doing a preliminary investigation.
Called for comment, FBI spokesman Dave Joly said he could not confirm or deny whether there is an investigation.

We're starting the week off with a bang — or at least a big receiver deal. A receiver is one of (if not the) most important pieces in the AV puzzle. It serves as the brain of your home theater, joining all of your AV components together and sometimes even giving them a little boost through included processing.
Today, you don't have to put a price on a good receiver because World Wide Stereo is doing that for you. The retailer is selling the Harman Kardon AVR 3600 7.1-Channel AV Receiver today for just $499.99. This is $700 off the list price and even includes free shipping. However, to get that special price, you're going to have to type in the coupon code DAILYDEAL during checkout.
For that money, this is an excellent investment. It has all of the AV goodies you'd want in a new receiver, such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding and multiple HDMI inputs with 3D with Deep Color. If you've got an iPhone or iPod, it can be easily added into the mix using the included Harman Kardon The Bridge III docking station.
Other features on this 7.1 receiver include 85 watts per channel, Logic 7 and Faroudja DCDi Cinema processing, multizone functionality, Dolby Volume technology, Harman's own EzSet/EQ auto calibration, and four HDMI inputs.
If you're interested in adding this receiver to your arsenal, remember to use the above coupon code to get the lowest price possible. However, you need to do that today! World Wide Stereo's Daily Deal ends today (Monday, July 30, 2012) or whenever the retailer runs out of stock.
Electronic House Hot Deals are offered as an editorial service to readers.

Learning Index >> Pioneers and their practice: a reference guide
Rita Beales was born Rita Rabone in Marlborough, New Zealand. She came to England, aged 20, to study singing at the Royal College of Music (1909-13) but the First World War curtailed her professional career. In 1917 she married Percy Beales and in c.1926, while living in Norfolk, they set up a workroom and taught themselves to hand-spin and weave wool and linen. In 1935 they moved to Compton Chamberlayne, Wiltshire and Rita Beales embarked on a full-time career as a textile craftswoman, aged 46. They settled in Gloucestershire in 1938 (Cerney Wick, then Daneway), specialising in fine table linens, as well as heavier cloth for curtains, bedspreads and upholstery. Rita Beales dyed all her yarns, using Ethel Mairet's* recipe book, and developed her ideas for weave patterns in her head, never committing any to paper.
She participated in exhibitions, and in 1937 won a certificate of merit at the International Exhibition, Paris; her work was selected for 'Modern British Crafts', arranged by the British Council to tour the USA and Canada (1942-5), and appeared annually at the Red Rose Guild, Manchester. She lived finally in Painswick (1966-87), where she worked until 1979. A retrospective exhibition was arranged by the Crafts Study Centre in 1989.

text: Just came across this forum. I purchased a RO under sink unit from the local Kinetico rep several years ago, which they installed. I recently called them to order replacement filters for my RO-30 unit. I am clueless on how to install them since no instructions were ever given to me. (I will call them for instructions later this week.) When I received the two filters (one 5 micron Pure-Flex sediment filter and one plastic carbon cartridge filter, I think), they didn't appear to be Kinetico brand. Maybe they don't have their own brand, but the filters appear to be generic type (and quite expense, I think, for $60.) My question is do I have to buy their filters and membrane in the future for replacement ,or is there a better place to buy them for less? Also, are they easy to change for a DIY project? Thanks for your advice from this newbie here.

Gay/Bi/MSM sexuality, HIV prevention practices
Seeking the spotlight of World AIDS Day, CDC released a report in their Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) focused on gay, bisexual and other MSM (men who have sex with men) in the United States -- the population that remains both disproportionately affected by HIV and drastically underserved by federal HIV/AIDS prevention resources.
However, the full MMWR article is quite different in its messaging and emphasis, skewing sharply to language that could encourage sexual stigma and blaming.
Both documents use increasingly antiquated language on risk, miss the opportunity to take a bold and scientifically-validated stance on systems change to facilitate more frequent HIV testing for bisexual and gay men, and does not clarify if transgender women are included in the historically-confusing category of MSM.
We urge CDC to take this opportunity to re-evaluate language, methods and recommendations regarding the sexuality and HIV prevention practices of gay, and bisexual men and other MSM.
We look forward to further dialogue with you on these and other issues:
1) "Unprotected anal sex" and "unprotected discordant anal sex" are the key terms for looking at sexual behavior across the three years of the NHBS cohort.
However, these terms have grown increasingly non-specific, or even inaccurate, in the current landscape of HIV prevention and the parameters of sexual decision-making by gay men, other MSM and their partners.
Insertive anal sex and receptive anal sex are distinct acts with very different levels of risk -- a spectrum of risk that is further broadened through widespread sero-adaptive practices. In addition, the use of virally-suppressive HIV treatment is a relevant factor in accurate risk assessment and sexual decision-making.
In the report, unprotected is used to refer to the non-use of condoms. However it does not mean that sex occurred in an environment of heightened HIV risk. Although much of this data was collected before PrEP licensure, reports emerging today should use clearer language -- such as "sex without condoms," rather than "unprotected."
These distinctions are neither political nor semantic. They are integral to reaching the goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and curtailing the epidemic.
Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men and their partners need accurate information for sexual risk reduction. There are noted methodological models for data collection that effectively clarify and refine descriptions of sexual behavior that should be adopted across research conducted or supported by CDC.
2) We agree that increased HIV testing is a priority, and that "the data suggest that some men may benefit from more frequent testing."
However, we believe that "at least annual HIV testing" that is only to happen more frequently at provider discretion is insufficient in the current environment.
Once again, CDC has missed the opportunity to take a bold and data-supported stand in favor of more frequent HIV testing for all gay and bisexual men and other MSM. Sticking to the once-a-year standard, leaving it at providers' discretion to advocate for more frequent testing (which many do), is not warranted given the strong -- and historically consistent -- findings of behavior change by those who test positive as well as the recognized role of treatment as a prevention modality.
By formally recommending testing on a quarterly basis, CDC will encourage systemic changes that will result in more men learning earlier if they are infected and allowing them to make informed decisions about their health care and sexual practices. Individuals who tend to lag behind in testing with the recommended interval will be prompted to test more frequently.
A system that is set up to facilitate more frequent HIV testing is a resource not only for case-finding and entry into care, but also to support the use of PrEP, which requires testing every 3 months.
In addition, we support efforts at the time of testing that would help identify HIV negative men who would benefit from access to PrEP and other prevention interventions, and increased vigilance in opposing the stigma, discrimination and criminalization of those who test positive.

Sauce (sôs) n. A liquid dressing served with food.
The dictionary makes sauce sound simple, but it can be many things. A sauce can be hot or cold—think gravy or salad dressing—chunky or creamy, sweet or savory. You can put it over, under or on the side, depending on your mood and your food.
The idea is to dress up a meal's look as well as its flavor. Picture burgundy cranberry sauce with fresh turkey or zesty red cocktail sauce with shrimp.
What you don't want is too many sauces at one time with competing sensations. Other than that, you can be a saucier cook by using your imagination to combine color and ingredients you like.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's guidelines call for 2-1/2 cups of vegetables a day. Putting veggies in sauces is an easy way to add healthy nutrients to your meals. For example, tomatoes are a great source of vitamin C and the cancer-fighting compound lycopene, as well as potassium. But the best thing about your own sauce is how good fresh ingredients taste with no added salt or sugar.
Being smart about sauces doesn't mean you can never have the rich ones again. Just go easy on how much you eat at one time and how often you treat yourself.
What's in a name? Salsa is what Mexicans call sauce. Coulis is a French word for any thick, strained sauce. Pesto is Italian for what the French call pistou; they're both uncooked sauces made with fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, and grated cheese. A little goes a long way.
Tomatoes play a big role in Italian sauces, from the simplest marinara to the heartiest Bolognese meat sauce. But watch the lingo. The elegant vitello tonnato isn't tomato at all, but veal in a sauce made with puréed tuna.
Tartar sauce and remoulade have the same mayonnaise base, minced pickles, onions, and herbs. Remoulade adds anchovies and might call for homemade mayo. You can make a healthy tartar sauce by stirring a tablespoon of India relish into a half-cup of reduced-fat mayonnaise and adding a squeeze of lemon juice.
Hollandaise is always a rich, creamy sauce made with butter, egg yolks, and lemon juice. Add tomato purée and minced parsley to hollandaise sauce and you get figaro sauce, perfect for fish or poultry.
You can use a mortar and pestle or a blender to grind the ingredients for your pesto. Inexpensive strainers take out the seeds. A food mill is a nice, nonelectric tool to purée cooked vegetables. To serve with flair, use a plastic condiment bottle to squirt your sauce on the plate in an appealing design.

Motocross Boots, Accessories and More at MotoSport
Riding a dirt bike requires several essential must-haves to ensure personal safety and years of enjoyment - not the least of which are motocross boots. Racing subjects your feet, ankles and calves to roost, bumps from other rides and the impact from falls. Trail riding poses different hazards like boulders and tree trunks that your skin and bones have no match against without adequate protection.
Motocross boots protect you from serious injury but also provide solid stability when cornering or any time the need to plant your feet is necessary to prevent a fall. There are more than two dozen bones that construct the feet and ankles and they are small and intricate. Feet and ankles are simply not designed to withstand a high speed impact on their own. Moreover, the average weight of a motorcycle is 400 pounds and a canvas shoe or sandals won't provide any protection against the weight of a bike or the heat from the engine in the event you lose your balance and fall over.
MotoSport carries one of the largest selections of motocross boots on the web (more than 60 pairs!) in additional to accessories like replacement straps, soles and buckle kits. Our inventory of riding socks from the top brands keep your feet dry and comfortable with reinforced heels and arches for extra support and protection. Check out the individual categories below:

As the ship sails ahead, a bow shock spreads around the vessel. The area under the Sun's influence, stretching well beyond the planets and forming what's called the heliosphere, is like a ship. The outer edges of the heliosphere are gently buffeted by interstellar wind, the gas and dust between the stars. As the Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy, the heliosphere moves as well, creating a bow shock ahead of it in interstellar space. Termination Shock: Blowing outward billions of kilometers from the Sun is the solar wind, a thin stream of electrically charged gas. This wind travels at an average speed ranging from 300 to 700 kilometers per second (700,000 - 1,500,000 miles per hour) until it reaches the termination shock. At this point, the speed of the solar wind drops abruptly as it begins to feel the effects of interstellar wind. Heliosphere: The solar wind, emanating from the Sun, creates a bubble that extends far past the orbits of the planets. This bubble is the heliosphere, shaped like a long wind sock as it moves with the Sun through interstellar space. Heliosheath: The heliosheath is the outer region of the heliosphere. Voyager entered the heliosheath about 14 billion kilometers (approximately 8.7 billion miles) from the Sun. This is about 94 times the distance from the Sun to Earth. The heliosheath is just beyond the termination shock, the point where the solar wind slows abruptly, becoming denser and hotter. The solar wind piles up as it presses outward against the approaching wind in interstellar space. Heliopause: The boundary between solar wind and interstellar wind is the heliopause, where the pressure of the two winds are in balance. This balance in pressure causes the solar wind to turn back and flow down the tail of the heliosphere. Once Voyager passes the heliopause, it will be in interstellar space. Bow shock: As the heliosphere plows through interstellar space, a bow shock forms, much as forms in front of a boulder in a stream. Voyager 2: Voyager 2 has visited more planets than any other spacecraft, swinging by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 2 was deflected downward by Neptune and is heading southward below the plane of the planets. With a somewhat lower speed than Voyager 1, it is about eighty percent as far from the Sun. Voyager 1: Voyager 1 is the most distant human-made object in the universe, At the beginning of 2005, the spacecraft was about 94 times as far from the Sun as is Earth. It was deflected northward above the plane of the planets' orbits when it swung by Saturn in 1980 and is now speeding outward from the Sun at nearly one million miles per day, a rate that would take it from Los Angeles to New York in less than four minutes. Long-lived nuclear batteries are expected to provide electrical power until at least 2020 when Voyager 1 will be more than 13 billion miles from Earth and may have reached interstellar space. Quote: NASA Voyager Spacecraft Enters Solar System's Final Frontier NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has entered the solar system's final frontier. It is entering a vast, turbulent expanse, where the sun's influence ends and the solar wind crashes into the thin gas between stars. "Voyager 1 has entered the final lap on its race to the edge of interstellar space," said Dr. Edward Stone, Voyager project scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Caltech manages NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, which built and operates Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2. In November 2003, the Voyager team announced it was seeing events unlike any in the mission's then 26-year history. The team believed the unusual events indicated Voyager 1 was approaching a strange region of space, likely the beginning of this new frontier called the termination shock region. There was considerable controversy over whether Voyager 1 had indeed encountered the termination shock or was just getting close. The termination shock is where the solar wind, a thin stream of electrically charged gas blowing continuously outward from the sun, is slowed by pressure from gas between the stars. At the termination shock, the solar wind slows abruptly from a speed that ranges from 700,000 to 1.5 million mph and becomes denser and hotter. The consensus of the team is Voyager 1, at approximately 8.7 billion miles from the sun, has at last entered the heliosheath, the region beyond the termination shock. Predicting the location of the termination shock was hard, because the precise conditions in interstellar space are unknown. Also, changes in the speed and pressure of the solar wind cause the termination shock to expand, contract and ripple. The most persuasive evidence that Voyager 1 crossed the termination shock is its measurement of a sudden increase in the strength of the magnetic field carried by the solar wind, combined with an inferred decrease in its speed. This happens whenever the solar wind slows down. In December 2004, the Voyager 1 dual magnetometers observed the magnetic field strength suddenly increasing by a factor of approximately 2 1/2, as expected when the solar wind slows down. The magnetic field has remained at these high levels since December. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., built the magnetometers. Voyager 1 also observed an increase in the number of high-speed electrically charged electrons and ions and a burst of plasma wave noise before the shock. This would be expected if Voyager 1 passed the termination shock. The shock naturally accelerates electrically charged particles that bounce back and forth between the fast and slow winds on opposite sides of the shock, and these particles can generate plasma waves. "Voyager's observations over the past few years show the termination shock is far more complicated than anyone thought," said Dr. Eric Christian, Discipline Scientist for the Sun-Solar System Connection research program at NASA Headquarters, Washington.

TriStar -- with its winged horse logo -- has been grounded as of late. Founded three decades ago, TriStar Pictures was once known for blockbusters and critical darlings such as "Total Recall" and "Jerry Maguire," but lately it hasn't had many major big-budget releases.
Now Tom Rothman, the film executive who was recently ousted from 20th Century Fox, is teaming up with Sony Pictures Entertainment on a new joint venture, called TriStar Productions, to increase the company's output of movies and TV shows.
"We're going to be lean and mean and efficient, and my job is to make hits," Rothman said. "That's my day-to-day and my night-to-night. I hope that this can become a really vibrant part of the Sony family."
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
TriStar will develop, finance and produce films and television programming, and Sony Pictures will provide its own financing and keep distribution rights.
Sony Pictures, which unveiled the venture Thursday, said TriStar will produce up to four movies a year. Rothman is to be the chairman of the new entity, which is set to start in September, and he will have an undisclosed stake in TriStar.
Rothman will report to Michael Lynton, chief executive of Sony Entertainment, and Amy Pascal, co-chair of Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Last year he was forced out as CEO of Fox Filmed Entertainment after 18 years and a track record at the studio that included the massive hits "Avatar" and "Titanic," both directed by James Cameron.
Since leaving Fox, Rothman worked with Steven Spielberg on the science fiction "Robopocalypse" until that project was put to the side.
Pascal and Lynton initiated talks for the new venture, said Rothman, who worked with Pascal at Columbia in the late 1980s. "I think the world of them," he said. "Amy and I had offices side by side at Columbia when Columbia was in Burbank, and I've always admired her."
Major hits for TriStar include the original "Basic Instinct," "The Natural," "Steel Magnolias" and "Glory." The company was known as a filmmaker-friendly studio, and it was the home for Woody Allen during his "Husbands and Wives" and "Manhattan Murder Mystery" period.
It is hoping for another hit with the upcoming film "Elysium," which will be released under the TriStar banner. Rothman said TriStar will add to Sony's film and TV offerings.

"We will plow in fields where Columbia and Screen Gems, etc., aren't focused as much," he said. "We're not going to compete with or take away with anything those labels are doing right now."
This deal comes after after Tokyo-based Sony Corp. said Wednesday that it swung to a profit for its first fiscal quarter of the year. Sony Pictures posted operating income of $38 million. The division recorded an operating loss of $62 million in last year's first quarter.
Still, it was hurt by lower theatrical revenue in part because of the disappointing performance of the Will Smith film "After Earth." Activist investor activist Daniel Loeb, the CEO of hedge fund Third Point, has called for the company to spin off Sony Entertainment Inc., which includes the film division.
Japan's Nikkei newspaper reported Wednesday that Sony's board is expected to reject Loeb's proposal. Sony has said it is reviewing the proposal and would not comment on the report.

Dallas prepares to mark JFK assassination anniversary
Church bells will toll throughout Dallas on Nov. 22 to honor President John F. Kennedy, and a moment of silence at 12:30 p.m. will mark the moment 50 years ago when he was assassinated.
That will be part of the solemn ceremony the city of Dallas has planned to commemorate the anniversary of the president's death in 1963. The ceremony, in Dealey Plaza where Kennedy's motorcade was passing when he was shot, will also feature Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David McCullough reading from the president's speeches, a ceremonial flyover and prayers, in addition to a performance by the U.S. Naval Academy's Men's Glee Club in a nod to Kennedy's military service.
"I think it's going to be emotional," said Ruth Altshuler, chairwoman of the committee that organized the city event. Fifty years ago, she was among those waiting at the Trade Mart to hear a speech Kennedy was on his way to give; later she was on the grand jury that indicted Jack Ruby, who killed Kennedy's accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald.
A year of commemorations by organizations throughout the city culminates this month with anniversary events ranging from musical performances to historical exhibits to panels featuring journalists and others with ties to the events of that day.
"I think it's been wonderful that each group has chosen its own way to commemorate," Altshuler said.
An exhibit at the Old Red Museum, which faces Dealey Plaza, opened this month detailing how the work of Mayor J. Erik Jonsson, elected after the assassination, helped the city recover.
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra will present concerts featuring the world premiere of a work commissioned for the occasion titled "The World is Very Different Now" by 19-year-old Conrad Tao, and Darius Milhaud's "Murder of a Great Chief of State," composed in the weeks after the assassination. Violinist Joshua Bell will perform.
The Texas Theatre, where Oswald was arrested, will screen the movie he sneaked into, "War Is Hell," as part of a Nov. 22 program recalling the involvement of theater employees and others in catching the suspect.
The citizen-led JFK Day of Service on Nov. 23 is meant to encourage people to volunteer at charitable organizations. The nonprofit art organization 29 Pieces has placed thousands of works of art throughout the city reflecting on love.
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, the museum that tells the story of the assassination from the building where Oswald made his sniper's perch, has hosted myriad events this year, including panels with those who witnessed the events of that day.

Multi-vendor MPLS-TP Interoperability Demonstrated for Packet Transport Networks
Widely deployed from the core to the edge, IP/MPLS has achieved huge success as a mature, standards-based technology now deployed by virtually every service provider worldwide. As a result, the industry has chosen to extend IP/MPLS and develop a transport profile called MPLS-TP (MPLS Transport Profile). MPLS-TP is the packet transport technology of choice being developed by the IETF to allow service providers to cost effectively migrate existing transport networks to packet based solutions.
Recently EANTC conducted an MPLS-TP Interoperability Event which focused on testing and demonstrating interoperability of key IP/MPLS and Carrier Ethernet features between multiple vendor platforms. This represented a critical technology demonstration for service providers as they begin their migration to packet transport networks.
Several vendors came together to show their platforms conforming to this standard and ensuring interoperability with each other. Cisco tested its end to end portfolio and architecture for next generation packet transport networks including our new Carrier Packet Transport (CPT) family of P-OTS products combined with the ASR 9000, 7600 series and Cisco Premier Intergrated Management Experience (Prime ). This event – the second one in six months – confirmed that the technology is growing and ready for adoption. Service providers can deploy with confidence – especially because MPLS-TP is based on and is an extension of existing IP/MPLS standards. By combing MPLS-TP with IP/MPLS and enabling one end-to-end OAM architecture, service providers can realize operational efficiency and leverage a truly converged and seamlessly interoperable architecture.

Well, my voice is my instrument, but I'm also lucky enough to have learned to play guitar & harmonica over the years ;-}
I played bass in a 70's rock band when a teenager and join the Golden Gate Park drum circle when visiting San Francisco. I play bass, various percussion and rythm guitar.
These are my babies, Traben array special, and a Dean Razorback 4 string
I'm a guitarist, been playing for something like 42 years. Self-taught for the most part, electric and acoustic. Wish I had a better voice.
I play the hammered dulcimer and bowed psaltery. We could make a really unusual orchestra with the instruments here. . . .

The tissue that lines the uterus is called the endometrium. Normally, if a woman doesn't get pregnant, this tissue is shed each month during her period. In endometriosis, tissue that looks and acts like endometrial tissue implants outside the uterus. Each month, this misplaced tissue responds to the hormonal changes of the menstrual cycle. It builds up, breaks down, and bleeds. But, the blood has nowhere to go. This causes surrounding tissue to become inflamed or swollen. It can also cause scar tissue, chronic pain, and heavy periods.
Endometriosis is a main cause of infertility in women. This can happen if the tissue implants in the ovaries or fallopian tubes. Tissue can also implant on other organs in the pelvis.
The cause of endometriosis is not clear. It may be that during a woman's period, some of the tissue backs up through the fallopian tubes into the belly. Another theory suggests genes are to blame. Current research is also looking at the role of the immune system.
Although any woman may develop endometriosis, the following women seem to be at an increased risk for the disease:
While each woman may experience symptoms differently, these are the most common symptoms:
The amount of pain a woman has isn't always related to the severity of the disease. Some women with severe disease may have no pain. Other women with a milder form of the disease may have severe pain or other symptoms.
First, your healthcare provider will review your medical history. You will also have a physical exam and a pelvic exam.
A laparoscopy is done to diagnose endometriosis. This uses a thin tube with a lens and a light at the end. It's inserted into an incision in the abdominal wall to see into the pelvic area. The healthcare provider can often find the locations, extent, and size of the misplaced tissue.
Other tests may include:
Your healthcare provider will consider your age, overall health, symptoms and other factors when advising what treatment is best for you. Whether you hope to become pregnant will also play a role in your choices.
Treatment choices include medicine, surgery, or both. If symptoms are mild, you may only need pain medicine. In other cases, hormone-based medicine, such as birth control pills, will stop ovulation and slow endometriosis.
Several choices can be used to remove the implants. Healthcare providers may be able to remove abnormal tissue growths using a laparoscope. In other cases, open surgery is needed. Surgery to remove the uterus is also a choice.
Endometriosis can make it very hard or impossible for a woman to get pregnant. Sometimes surgery can help. But, in a few cases, women may remain infertile.
Simple steps that can help ease the pain of endometriosis include:

simultaneous appearances
Through January 5, 2001
Colombian artist Monika Bravo creates a virtual aquarium in the gallery as part of her video and sound installation Symphasis. It is a simulated space which is at once contained yet appears to be as infinite as the ocean. The illusion of limitless freedom plays off against notions of boundaries and containment in this work which Robert Blake has described as operating on "the level of dream time."
Taped in aquariums throughout the world, projected images fill the room with swimming sharks and drifting jelly fish. In non-linear sequences, schools of tiny fish appear in endless replicationacross the walls, ceilings, mirrored surfaces, and monitorand are gone. Turquois water segues into the dark, primordial depths as images merge, overlap, and appear simultaneously. Movement is choreographed to synthesized sounds and the music of string instrumentsBravo worked with composer Raul Rothblatt to develop the soundtrack. Viewers' shadows and silhouettes create a human presence and also become a part of this prescribed, displaced environment. It is an abstract composition created from light, sound, and time.

|Ceiling fresco - Casòn Hirschprunn, Margreid, Südtirol
Because of the encounters I have had in the last month and with all the rush to award guarantees of origin to the decadent and irrelevant Italian appellation system, I have zigged, zagged and ran scatter-shooting across this April month. Not that it hasn't been a romp. Jump on a plane, beat the jet lag, eat this, drink that, run, run. My mom likens it to a vacation. I could use one of those right now. But it "ain't gonna happen," there's too much going about in the wine trail that I find myself perched upon these days. And that's more of a song coming from the mouth of the sparrow hawk above my home than a kvetch. A shriek of pleasure.
But not without its moments of sadness, or at the very least, contemplative reflection. Last night, after a long day, in the early evening I was summoned to a wine dinner. Pouring wine, sitting with new people, making conversation, trying to attend to their needs as well as to my host and our winery folk. I never really thought I did justice to any of them. I was strewn, but sincere. At the end of a very mellow evening, almost frighteningly so for the normally cacophonous venue, as we were boxing up wine for the clients and tidying up, sipping on an espresso and generally heading towards comatose places, a lady came up to me. I've known her for what seems like ages. Always very friendly, although never going too deep. But civil. Respectful.
It woke me up. Nothing is to be taken for granted. Here I thought the wine dinner was OK. Maybe not as successful as the week before. But in reality it was, it was just quieter, smoother. Just as effective. What it was for that lady was an evening away from the dreaded reality she and her mother are facing.
It's those times when distractions are welcome. A breather.
Today I went to the hospital to see my friend Mario. He finally had his hip operated on. He'd been in some pain. But he made it through the operation. At 94, that's big. And he still has major aches. So bad tonight that when we were talking he drifted off in a morphine haze halfway through a thought. The old warrior, still fighting, living to die another day. But not today.
All this from the reflections of a wine dinner, over sips of espresso, hoping we hadn't disappointed those souls who came for a little taste of Italy, a moment off the grid, a brief reprieve from the onslaught of reality that makes up the cycle of one's life.
