If you're in the market for the finest riding gear around, Klim is your choice. No other brand in the industry has such an unrelenting pursuit of excellence in quality and comfort. It's the ideal option for every dual sport rider. However, even though Klim is primarily recognized in dual sport and adventure touring circles, that doesn't mean that its versatility can't offer off-road or street purists premium gear. That's why you'll find Klim products across all of our powersport categories: ATV, dirt bike, UTV, motorcycle and (of course) dual sport.
So what makes Klim stand out from other brands so remarkably? It largely has to do with their devotion to what matters to riders. For example, many Klim products feature Gore-Tex® technology, allowing the gear to sport a highly sophisticated waterproof liner. Because of this, you'd be hard-pressed to find a product that better repels rain and still offers a highly breathable membrane.
Aside from supreme quality and comfort, Klim also takes protection very seriously. Many Klim products feature either D3O® or CE armor. Both are respectable options, though if you're the type that loves advanced technology as part of your gear, you're going to love D3O. When you're riding, it stays soft and flexible – you might forget it's there altogether. But in an impact, the molecular structure stiffens, absorbing the force and distributing it throughout the armor.
This is just the beginning of everything that Klim offers. From one of the most impressive warranties in the industry to smart designs that effectively manage body heat, you simply won't find a better set of gear. Klim has a solid reputation for well-built gear with reliable construction. Major features that appeal to dual sport or adventure riders include truly effective venting, comfortable built-in armor and integrated pieces of gear.
With a complete product line that covers everything from jackets and pants to boots and goggles, Klim has something for everyone. Pick up a new set of gear from Klim to discover how incredible it is.

I like the style of the beanie and its simple design and materials keeps your head and ears warm. The 'one size fits most' I thought was a little large and is probably fits a 7 1/2" head really nicely. My head is about 7 1/8" so it fits loosely, but allows for sunglasses to be worn underneath which is nice. KLIM Quality!Read All Reviews

It is a GREAT jacket that does what it is meant to do. it is a LIGHT weight packable jacket. that when the warm air gets a little chilly you pull it out. it is NOT a coat for winter days at all. If you know anything about Gortex, it is WATERPROOF. it is light. and it does not block wind. IE, the nylon it is on, is the only warmth available. it HAS to breath to let the moisture inside (steam) out. meaning it does not stop air. I LOVE them, and put down cash for both the gray and the black. Gray is the everyday "light jacket" we just got back from Colorado and got caught in the September dusting of snow. it was perfect for the off-road ride over the pass, (with a sweat shirt and a jersey underneath)Read All Reviews

first off, this thing keeps my head & neck warm & toasty! love the molded breath guard, there is an opening underneath it so you can still drink from your hydration pack. only reason it does'nt get 5 stars is that the eye port is way too small; peripheral vision is blocked too much.Read All Reviews

It's no secret that American bellies are big and getting bigger, but our fitness expert Basheerah Ahmad has some very interesting info. Surprisingly, she says the bulge people are carrying around isn't all fat!
"Most of us think our bellies are large just because we eat too much and we exercise too little," says Basheerah. "But what many of you do not know is that there are several other culprits that can also contribute to that dreaded bulge."
Most of the bloating in your midriff area is caused by bloating of the intestines and there are several foods that cause this.
The first food that causes bloating is wheat or bread. People are not only sensitive to wheat, but to the gluten that's in wheat. When you eat wheat, your intestines become inflamed, which causes bloating and gas. This adds to that unwanted girth.
An easy fix is to switch to a spelt flour or a rye flour. You can find spelt and rye flours in most health food stores and online.
The next food to avoid is, of course, 'junk food.' We're talking potato chips and french fries. Not only does it add to your overall fat intake, but it also contributes to irritating the gastrointestinal system, which again causes bloating and gas.
Finally, let's talk about dairy. Many people grew up drinking as much milk as they wanted, eating cheese and that was never a problem, right? But many people become lactose-intolerant as they get older because their bodies no longer have the enzyme that breaks down and properly digests the milk sugar, or lactose.
If you find that you are lactose-intolerant, there are many satisfying substitutes - soy, almond, hemp and rice mock-dairy products are available in your local grocery store. Remember, it's not just about fat when you're battling the bulge - it's also about knowing what's best for your body.

Written by Victoria Fraser
I was the Milky Way and she was my Andromeda.
We were almost same age and filled with
countless complicated constellations.
Astronomers have yet to connect
all of the dots dispersed among our celestial bodies
because some of our stars are so deep inside our minds that
it'll be a few thousand light years
before all of our suns and nebulas
are exposed to the worlds cosmodomes.
We mirrored each other almost perfectly
like half sisters with similar DNA, but slightly different faces.
Each time I saw her, I would reflect her smile with mine and
with every embrace I would trace the perimetre of her skin
the same way I map out Cassiopeia's W formation
in the sky with my fingertips.
I used to look up at her like she was the North Star,
I nicknamed her Polaris and I knew
I would never lose my way so long as she stayed.
Scientists say we're on a collision course,
but we collided long before God
even thought about pressing record.
We existed in a realm of subatomic particles
eventually becoming atoms and after that full on molecules,
we traded fables through the paths our electrons travelled,
and I remember, speaking to her was easier than breathing.
So much so that I kept a collection of all her sentences
and wrapped them around myself.
I strung her syllables along my outer shells like beads
and I only ever wore necklaces formed from her words.
Then when she slept, I would remain awake and I read her sentences
again and again as they spun pirouettes around me until suddenly
the universe EXPLODED
and we grew into galaxies.
Though space expanded between us, we continued to keep touch
I sent her messages on comets and she replied to them with meteorites
one of which may have killed the dinosaurs,
but every relationship has its consequences.
Then in a moment, sudden as sound
she disappeared, Andromeda, my dear,
you left without farewell I don't know what happened,
but the Little Dipper and I are incomplete without our Polaris.
What I didn't know when I nicknamed you my North Star
is that every few thousand years the Sun and the Moon
play violin with the gravitational pull of our planet
until eventually the Earth's axis is tilted and a new star takes the title.
Today, Polaris is two moon lengths away from where it used to be
two moon lengths away from where I need you to be, Andromeda,
the stars have shifted,
the Earth's axis has twisted,
you're presence is missing,
but I will still call you my North Star wherever you are.
For now, without you the sky is dim.
Scorpio and Orion are bickering again.
Cygnus is pointing in the wrong direction.
Hercules is holding is bow backwards,
the pattern of the sky is completely unorganized.
Then, last week, Pluto told me he thought he saw you talking to Betelgeuse
So I grabbed my telescope and I spent hours glued to that cylindrical tube
Searching, until the moon told me she could keep day at bay, no longer.
If you're still out there, Andromeda
I've sent another comet; the people named it Halley's
It'll come around every 75 years I just want you to know,
I am still here
and I will be your Milky Way until the day scientists say
we collide again.

Meet the powerfoods that will shrink your belly and keep you healthy for life
The Abs Diet Program is an easy, sacrifice-free plan that will let you eat the foods you want and keep you looking and feeling better day after day. It's designed to help you lose weight in the easiest possible ways: by recalibrating your body's internal fat-burning furnace; by focusing on the foods that trigger your body to start shedding flab; and by rebuilding you into a lean, mean fat-burning machine.
The Abs Diet is a simple plan built around 12 nutrient-packed foods that, when moved to the head of your dietary table, will give you all the vitamins, minerals, and fibre you need for optimum health while triggering lean muscle growth and firing up your body's natural fat burners. The more of these Power 12 foods you eat, the better your body will be able to increase lean muscle mass and avoid storing fat.
Learn how to lose fat from your belly in 2 weeks

If it took a few "power foods" to make you desirable, who would be fat. Who would be desirable then, even thinner people. Of course there would be new power foods then.
Here is a couple of idiots making peanuts for a living, David Zinczenko and Ted Spiker.
For the past four months I have been reading a book called "The China Study" (plant based diet) and follow the recommendations ( have my cheats) but mostly follow it and I have also been adopted an exercise program called "The Bar Method" (ballet inspired workout) founder Burr Leonard. It's working for me and finally after struggling with the muffin top/gut its starting to flatten out again. But most of all I notice a big difference since I dropped meat and as much animal products out of my diet and added beans, nuts, veggies, fruit and of course M&M's. Get the book and Burr's workouts and I'm sure you will get results.

When Sarah-Jane left the Tardis at the end of 'The Hand of Fear', she said she wanted her hair washed. It must have got pretty dirty during all that time she travelled in the Tardis with you, Doctor. Anyway, it seems she got what she wanted in the end when she turned up in an advert for Vosene medicated saying she and the rest of her family had 'hair that's really clean'. Can you ever recall seeing this advert?
A number of such commercials can be found scattered throughout the WWW and some of them seem a bit akin to 'Doctor Who' with their weird theme music and green blobs falling across the screen.

Object Description
|Signpost (Weber, Utah), 1968-02-16, Vol. 27, No. 15
|Weber State College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

These were a hit with everyone. I doubled the recipe and it wasn't enough!
Reviewed Jul. 29, 2013
The dough was very runny and the cookies were flat as pancakes :-) I don't know if the measurements are off on the recipe but my husband that has been a baker for 40 years said he thinks so.........
Reviewed Sep. 24, 2011
might make again, but with a few alterations...batter was a bit thin, and cookies came out flat...would probably add at least another 1/4 c. flour ....cookies were not terribly sweet, and could use a little more sugar, so would probably add another 1/4 c. br. sugar....i got 48 cookies (level T.)...baked on parchment paper, so there was no need to grease the pan....the flavor was good.

Dr. Falgooni Patel's Ratings
Dr Patel is the best pediatrician ever. She is a true blessing. I have a 3 and a 1 year old and they just loved her. I have been to numerous pediatrician that are not half as caring as Dr Patel and her staff. I will recommend her to all friends and family.
Submitted March 21, 2014 | flag
I was referred to Dr Pratima Patel from Dr Alex Krammer who was my pediatrician back in the 60's and then took care of my 5 children until he retired. Was concerned that I would never find another pediatrician as loving,caring and personal as Dr Krammer, but in fact his referral was a blessing for my kids and my grandkids. Now my grandkids are patients of her daughter (Dr Falgooni Patel) who has taken over since her mothers passing. WE ALL MISS HER DEARLY..

very kind and spent time with us...my kids felt very comfortable and sh eas very helpful. answered all of your questions and provided helpful information. staff was nice

Dr. Patel is realy nice and my kids love her. She is patient, kind and takes her time and does not rush through appointments. The problem I have is that she practices at 2 locations (Chino Hills & Covina) which is always difficult to keep track of. Her office staff (at the Chino Hills location) is not friendly and never returns calls when she tells you she will. Her office hours are crazy, some days they are closed, some days they're closed for lunch for about 2 hours and when the operators says "they should be back from lunch in an hour", they are not. I really, like Dr. Patel but her hours, staff and 2 different locations are very inconvenient.

This woman is a gem to the medical industry. My son was a patient of her mothers, Pratima Patel. When she died, Falgooni took over the practice and is soaring with it. She may be young and new but she is a great doctor and makes herself available in ways and at times other doctors wouldn't. Dr. Patel's staff (the wonderful Delores and Maria) know me the moment I call and take care of us without hesitation, appointment or not. I love this doctor so much, if moving were ever an issue for me, continuing to have access to her would be a great deciding factor on where we would move.

The problems presented themselves after realising that there was so real service in the dining room it was a buffet style lunch but after getting our food which was excellent we had to get on another line to get our drinks, 8 ounce glasses of juice or ice tea,leaving or food cold and unprotected.This continued for every meal at the casual dining room. The main dining room was excellent but the the formal meals were with the king crab, lobster and fillet mignon were when we were at open seas, the shipped tossed around that pretty good so if you were prone to sea sickness your substitute meal was green apples and tea if the ship served the fancier meals when they were in more protected waters it would have been much calm seas to sail in and more passengers would have enjoyed the king crab, lobster, and fillet mignon, maybe I just answered my own question.
I would also explain that every morning I, we, awoken by crew members dragging and then slamming the deck furniture together at 5;30am every morning the front desk said that they would investigate and correct this problem, the told me that everyday, very polite but very unprofessional They gave us $100 for ruining our sleep every morning.

Ain't it the truth?
Today has really opened my eyes. I've sort of had an out of body experience.
I realize that things are going to be okay. Whatever the outcome, things will always be okay. Life goes on, and you make due with what is handed to you. Life may not be fair, but that's okay, because we're all still alive after the day's over, and we'll continue to live until the day we die.
I'm not going to spend my days moping about. It's not healthy, and it's not how I want to live. Patience is key, and I'm going to remain patient. Good things come to those who wait. I may be a nice guy and finish last. But, hey, last is never the worst. I'm just taking my time and experiencing as much as I can along the way.
I still feel some sadness, but it is fading. It's not being repressed. I like this feeling. The feeling of hope. The feeling of optimism.
I'm content.
What is love? It's not something that can be explained through words. It's something that is felt. You know it when it happens. That one moment, when you look into their eyes and everything just stops. You feel tense and nervous, but, at the same time, you also feel anxious and excited. So many thoughts are racing through your head, but your mouth can't seem to find the words. You feel this thumping in your chest. It's your heart. But it's not like any other heartbeat you've felt before. These are powerful. Long. Steady. Intimidating almost, but you push back the fear and listen closer. What you hear is not just a heartbeat. It's love, pumping through your entire body. Not just the kind of love you have for a favorite game or your pet or your family. When you want to set everything else in your life aside for this one girl. You'd do anything and everything for her. Just to see her smile one more time. Well, that's how it went for me anyway.
There's this girl. This one girl who came out of nowhere into my life. "Hi, I'm Molly" she says to me. Molly. Such a pretty name for a pretty girl. She smiles as gently grab her hand and give it a light shake. I feel the goosebumps run down my spine as I smile back at her. I felt like I could smell, touch, and taste everything. It was like my whole body opened up. So…unreal. I couldn't believe what I was feeling. I'd never felt this way before. Next thing I know we're talking, laughing, smiling, dancing and enjoying each other's company. We were at a rock concert, you see. Then, all of a sudden, I feel a soft hand grasp mine. I look over and it's her. Holding my hand, smiling and singing the song being played, looking into my eyes. I don't know what came over me, but I couldn't resist. I held onto her hand as well and we both held our hands up. I knew, at that moment, I was in love. I must've fallen hard and fast, because I couldn't even remember it happening. It was real though. What I felt for this girl was like nothing I've ever felt for anyone before. We talked and hung out a lot after that night. I couldn't get her off of my mind, and, apparently, she felt the same. I felt compelled to be there for her. I didn't just want to, I felt the actual need to be there. To listen to her. To care for her. To love her. Like it was meant to be. I remember this one night, her and I were laying together and watching a movie, but she kept rolling over to look at me. Her eyes…let me tell you something. Her eyes are my favorite part about her. They're so enticing. They put me in a trance that I feel like I'll never get out of. She wanted to kiss me. I wanted to kiss her. I didn't. I went home that night leaving her with just a hug. I don't need to tell you how much I beat myself up over that. Needless to say, though. We kissed. Oh, boy, did we kiss. Her lips were so soft. Perfect. It was perfect. Everything I could've dreamed of and more. Her kisses were so gentle and…loving. I didn't want it to end. It was like a drug. More addicting than any substance man has created. With each kiss, I wanted another. I wasn't thinking with my dick, mind you. This was more than just a physical attraction. My intentions were good. I wanted her to be mine. I had to have her. I needed her. I made her mine. I won't get too detailed with other things, but…after a while, we finally made love to each other. I don't need to tell you it was amazing. Hell, it was more than amazing. It was divine. It was other-worldly. When our bodies touched, I could feel all of my nerves going crazy. I was shaking, but it was a good kind of shaking. This wasn't just a fuck. It wasn't a hook-up. This was real. I know what I felt, and I know it was real. If I had any doubts before, they were all gone now. I loved this girl. More than that. I was truly in love. She was always on my mind. I always thought of her, dreamed of her, and missed her. I was always the happiest when I was with her. She made me complete.
Then one day, I screwed up. I screwed up big time. I don't know why I did this. I still beat myself up over it all the time. Flirting with other girls is never acceptable when you're with someone. It was a mistake. I learned from it, but I guess it really wasn't enough. From that moment on, all the happiness we shared with each other began to fade. Day after day, I felt her love slipping through my fingers. I hurt her. I hurt her really bad. I regret it all. I wish I could take it back. Maybe I wouldn't be where I am today…maybe the things that happened wouldn't have happened if it weren't for me. I am to blame for it all. I really am.
After about six months, it couldn't go on. All the fighting, all the yelling, and all the screaming. It wasn't right. That's not how things were supposed to be. Maybe I wasn't in love. Maybe I was just too caught up having someone make me feel the way she did. That's what I thought then. I started doubting. And through that doubt, I ended our relationship. Mean words were exchanged throughout the course of time, and we built up this hate and frustration towards each other. Every time I'd hear her name after that, I'd cringe. I'd want to scream. I wished I didn't have those memories, because they only caused me pain. Oh, yeah. She was with another guy too by now, about one month after the break up. That didn't set too well with me. Not at all. She was MY Molly. Mine. To think she was spending time with this kid, this ungrateful, selfish little bastard. He took my Molly from me. Of course, I acted like I didn't give a crap, but I did. I really did.
I slept around with a few people. Yep. I did. Proud of it? No. That's not who I am. I also started to drink a lot during the time we weren't talking. Why? To forget. I wanted to forget it all. I wished it was all just a long dream that just seemed real. It wasn't a dream. I had to face it. It happened, man. Forgetting seems to be one of the things I'm really bad at, though. I couldn't forget. How could I? She was amazing…my dream girl. She did so much for me and didn't deserve what I did to her. I wanted her back. I didn't go a single day without thinking about her. I would run scenarios through my head all the time. What I should've done differently, or what I would do if something like this happened. But, if I wasn't in love, why was I still so hung up about it all? Here's the answer. I was in love. No, not was. I am in love with her. And there's no more doubting it. With all the girls I did things with or flirted with after the break-up. I found nothing I really wanted with any of them. They weren't her. They weren't Molly. My Molly.
After about four months, I get a text. It asks if they can talk to me. I freeze and the feeling of anxiety overwhelms me. It's Molly. What could she want? After all this time, why is she trying to talk to me. I couldn't ignore it. I wanted to talk to her. I missed her. I missed her a lot. We hung out that day. I had my guard up. I wasn't sure what to make of it all. You want to know the weird thing about it all, though? It's like she never left. I felt that same happiness I did before. I couldn't help it. I flirted with her. I held her hand. I cuddled with her, and even held her to sleep. Like I said. Nothing was different. It was just how I remembered.
I love this girl more than you could ever imagine. I would die for this girl. She doesn't want a boyfriend though, but she says she isn't looking. She tells me she loves me, and that I'm her best friend. We act like we're together, but we aren't. I can't stop myself though. I need her. You may think I'm crazy, but you're not me. You don't know what I'm feeling. I need her love. I need her to be mine again. And I sit here typing this up, crying onto my lap, but they aren't happy tears. I feel like I won't be able to have her. I don't want to get hurt. I don't want to suffer anymore. I want to go back to October 21, 2009 and do it over again. I want to make things right. I've always been the one to tell people to not live in the past. I'm really bad at not following my own advice. I've also said that people don't fall out of love. No. You can love as many people as you want, but you only fall in love once. There's no such thing as falling out of love. If you think you are, then you were never in love with that person to begin with.
That's my problem though. I'm in love with a girl. Her name is Molly. But I don't think she's in love with me. So what do I do? This isn't fair. I just want to smile again. Just like old times. I want to be loved. We can't all get what we want though, can we? That's just life. I guess I'll just keep moving on. I'll just keep wishing for her to fall in love with me. Cause I'm stuck, ladies and gentlemen.
I feel a little better now.
You're such a follower. You aren't even your own person. You're a leech. A disgusting, mindless leech with nothing to show for. You're talentless, and you're gutless. It's just adapt and duplicate with you. Not only that, but you're two-faced as well. Only interacting with those who might get you somewhere higher on the social ladder, but the truth is, we all see through your deceit, and know how much of a fake you are. And if anyone doesn't, well I feel sorry for them to have to put up with your bullshit. To top it all off, you suck so much dick, I'm surprised there's anything left to pump out of the well. Is that mud on your face? No it isn't. You know what it is? It's shit. Shit from all the asses you bend over and implant your face into just kissing away. You infuriate me so much, but telling you all of this would be pointless as we don't even talk anymore and starting shit is not what I do. I know you won't read this, and if you do, you aren't smart enough to figure out it's you. If you dropped off the face of the Earth, I can honestly say I'd sleep just the same at night. Maybe even better, who knows?
Allow me to put it in simpler terms in case you still can't get the message I'm broadcasting.
Fuck you.
I feel a lot better now.
And I'm just getting started.
To start things off I woke up late for class. Joy. It's the one class that I actually have to try in too. Way to go me. I should probably just drop the class and save my GPA, but I'm too stubborn and lazy to walk myself to the counselor and wait for two hours. The rest of my classes sucked intensely, except for the fact that this really cute girl sits next to me in my music appreciation class. Though, I can't for the life of me ever remember her damn name.
Legs, man. Legs.
I piss myself off with how lazy I am. The fact that I don't have a job makes it worse. If a place is hiring…why don't they call me? Am I not qualified enough to work their shitty low end jobs? It's not like it takes a complete genius to operate a cash register or to stock shelves. I just don't get it.
The Apple store still hasn't called me. It's been far too long. What the fuck? I don't even care if they didn't fix my Macbook. I just want it back. I'm turning into paranoid parrot over here thinking they're releasing the contents of my hard drive to the government or some shit. Not like I have anything to hide on there.
I just really want to cuddle. Damn. Cuddling fixes everything.
I haven't used Tumblr in a while.
I guess I never really fully understood the purpose of it, so I just sort of left mine here to rot.
I think, though, I'm going to start using it a lot more. If there has to be any reason, it's to relieve myself of stress or anger or anything really. I have a lot of things that I keep bottled up that I don't believe are completely necessary to act out on, but ranting and complaining to my computer would suffice I think.
Just letting anyone who follows me know, that's all you're basically going to see from me: a lot of ranting and a lot of venting. I know there's not many of you at all, but if you don't want to hear it, please, by all means, unfollow me. I completely understand and won't take any offense to it. Hell, it'd probably be best if nobody was following me because I might say something that could very easily offend someone. In fact, I know it'll happen, but, if my friends are true, they won't pass judgment on me for my views.
Anyway, like I said before, I don't really know what everyone else uses Tumblr for, but this is what I'm going to use it for.
Nobody cares probably, and you're most likely reading this and realizing what a waste of time it was.
Oh well!
Halfway through tour.
I have to say, I love being with my friends, and I love visiting new places and meeting new people.
I can also say that this is the most tired, dehydrated, and worn-out I've ever been.
I love it.
I am living life.
I seriously need a job, this is bumming me out!
I am determined! I am strong! I am ARMY STRONG!
lol..I am weird.

David Chesky - The Agnostic
David Chesky - The Agnostic
Product Description
Webster's dictionary defines "agnostic" as one who holds that the ultimate cause (God) and the essential nature of things are unknown and unknowable, or that human knowledge is limited to experience. Well, then, David Chesky has taken agnosticism one small step forward and made it into his own musical-poetical existential treatise; his own courageous hymn to modern-day man. Chesky's concerns, themes, pleadings and gropings all struggle with what it means to be alone and cast asunder in a Godless universe. His recitativo is that we have no answers -- only questions. Chesky does not stop or falter on his pilgrimage to individual self-affirmation. In fact, Chesky's libretto belabors the point of man being responsible to himself vis a vis his world. In a world lacking final cause, bereft of ultimate knowledge, the author maintains that contemporary man has little alternative but to go inside himself and invent himself out of his own material. Only then can he begin to realize his own being. Chesky's libretto plunges headlong into battle with his first section: TODD: a young boy having lost his innocence questions in his naive manner why God makes him (us) suffer so. SAM follows: a gay musician who asks for tolerance from his Maker rather than the punishment of exclusion. Next, SAM'S PRAYER, a direct and courageous expression of self-determination as well as the post-modern ethic of self-invention. As always, the young author's clarion call: the Humanistic ethic of individual responsibility. EGO, the fourth section, speaks of man's capacity to overcome his own limitations, flaws, and failings, his imperial ego and material and worldly ambitions. Chesky, as many before him, argues that the entirety of man's worldly achievements, nay, the entirety of his worldly existence, adds up to naught in the light of time. Chesky paraphrases the French post-modernist author Nathalie Sarraute: "How we magnify these topics when we're young." Chesky knows his source material and has clearly made it his own; his own idiosyncratic musical voice permeates and synthesizes all his sources' words. We're hardly a moment, a moment of consciousness, he asserts; a farce, he screams lyrically aloud. What more needs be said to make small man's overgrown yet stunted ego, apotheosize his unique capacity (necessity) for self-overcoming. To find the nobility and grace commensurate with the author's praiseworthy conception of true Human stature. FALSE GOD follows. In our present television age, where facile explanations and pseudo-solutions have become commonplace, where zealotry and the worship of the mass mentality seem to be running rampant, certainly looking inside oneself, the espousal of questioning rather than the dogma of answers seems right. To be sure, the author is on solid ground even if his ground is that ever-evolving and nascent self-forming that takes place for the first time, every time, in all his disciples' hearts, minds and souls. COWARDICE, the sixth section, is an apocalyptic quest for self-transcendence, for Man to do no less than make himself over, to enact Tillich's Courage To Be. In a world of spiritual diminishment, where the word has been supplanted by the image, Man's sole recourse, the author maintains, is nothing less than to start from the beginning, to go inside himself, to take from what he is and make himself MORE. In short, for Man to become himself, he must be himself. To be himself, he must become himself. SURRENDER: God is within us, Chesky affirms. Laying bold claim to free us from absolutes, Chesky cites Man as a mystery to himself. His ontology is self-referential, meaning Man is the being who questions himself. He resides in a permanent state of self-questioning. Life is not death. Acceptance of himself, his world, mankind. Chesky has wrought a veritable anthem to Man's everlasting dilemma of having to birth and invent himself, to surrender all he is as prerequisite to becoming who he can be. Affirmation of the human condition: Yes! To this composer-author, as those existential thinkers before him, Man is not lost in a Godless universe. On the contrary, taking this Godlessness as a starting point and surrendering all that he has is Man's sole Road to Damascus. His own unique and singular way to knowledge. To God, if you will. DEATH OF THE SPIRIT: Now we approach the concluding passages of The Agnostic. If God is dead, if the image has supplanted the sodden word, if Man has lost his place in a closed and comforting universe, what is left questions the author in incantory lines. RESURRECTION: As stated earlier, Chesky's Agnostic culminates in affirmation. Embrace life, he exclaims, move forward, transcend, rise and live, all is still possible, ever moreso, to this American composer. Inside us lies an unyielding strength, the stuff of miracles, the heroic and beautiful: Man is a dreamer. Dream on, Man, and so find yourself. Find resurrection. Do not aspire to immortal life, but exhaust the limits of the possible. No more lofty and noble words to be said. The young composer, whether he knows it or not, is an absolutist. His absolute is that he is an absolute believer in Man, in Man's own capacity to resurrect and replenish himself out of the origins of his own material. The world is Man-made. And, in turn, Man is Man-made. Embodied in him is the ever-questioning force of his ontology. From that very nature, that flesh-and-blood genetic code, Man is self-sufficient unto himself, again, always, forever. Preternaturally predestined to become more than himself, more than he is. Go forth, exclaims Chesky. Dream more. What a man thinks he can become. This is not merely old hat Sartre-Camus existentialism; this is the world as we inhabit it today. Our sole obligation is to make of our world and ourselves more than we are, more than we can ever fathom. Man the Remarkable. And so Chesky ends his Agnostic theology with the dictum "What we think we can become. Become more than man, let us live our dreams. Resurrection, resurrection, resurrection. Man!"

How can the Asia-Pacific Sustainable Seafood and Trade Network help you?
Programmatic Engagements directly with supply chain actors to improve practices. We will work within the existing FIPs and AIPs framework to promote continuous improvement projects; recognizing the unique characteristics of developing country fisheries by adapting and tailoring the FIP/AIP models to drive improvements in targeted small-scale and developing country fisheries
The regional platform will provide ancillary services to engage with industry external stakeholders to support improvement fisheries and more responsible seafood:
- Developing cost effective methods of assessment, evaluation, monitoring and implementation to include data-poor fisheries in the improvement process
- Research such as in-country fishery and aquaculture audits to identify improvement opportunities, supply chain studies to understand market leverage points, market trends and producer demand
- Regional and international advocacy, in tandem with WWF network offices, and convening regional "stakeholder" meetings (i.e. government, private sector, NGOs)
- Working with industry and government sectors to trial low-cost technologies (e.g.traceability) and best-practices in support of improvements
- Develop training programs and provide technical support to build capacity in WWF national offices and liaise with external partners to mobilize resources and deliver trainings to meet conservation goals
- Act as conduit between regional and international WWF offices, linking supply chain agents and supporting consistent communication and outreach
- Initiate and engage in regional and international dialogue on fisheries improvement program developments and financing
- Working through relevant WWF network programs to define market access and communications protocols and monitoring these commitments

It sucks to have gone through so much to get the nightbane urn and now anybody can summon. I guess they will take the quest chain out of the game completely?
Cut pieces out of a story just to make it more pleasing for the public... sounds like Blizzard is going Hollywood.

Organizations in Hartford are celebrating an event called PARK(ing) Day, a global movement to turn metered parking spots into temporary parks.
Three civic organizations have brought the movement to Hartford, which will bring eight public parks in downtown Hartford to metered parking places on Trumbull, Pearl, Pratt and Main Streets.
"Everyone is thinking about a more walkable city, a more greener city, a more livable city," Tim Yergeau, of the Greater Hartford Arts Council said. "This was a perfect tie-in."
Organizers said there will be a general information area on Asylum Street for people to learn more about the movement.
Since this was the first time the program came to Hartford, a lot of people didn't know what to make of all the new grass downtown. It turned out, people weren't the only ones curious.
Pets were, too.
"I had to ask a woman not to let her dog pee on one of the spots this morning," Yergeau said.

Overall, this is a very beautiful, good quality lamp. It is very heavy and sturdy. I was actually surprised by how heavy it is. It's a really good value. I only had two small issues with it, which weren't important enough for me to do anything about. The lampshade looks white until it's turned on at night, then it looks more like a dark cream color. I suppose that's due to the lining of the shade. I priced replacement shades because I wanted a true white shade, but they are rather expensive, so I'm letting it go. It's still a very pretty lamp and a quality shade. Also, the switch for turning the lamp on and off is very difficult to operate. I have mine plugged into an outlet that's controlled by a wall switch, so it's not a problem. However, if my only option were to turn it on and off at the base, it would be a very big problem. I don't know if it's just a problem with mine or if they are all that way. Bottom line, I love this lamp and I'm very glad I purchased it.
check it out on pottery barn for $290.00. really.
After buying and returning lamps from Lowe's and Target (cheap looking, dented shade, etc.), I order this from Overstock. I can't believe the quality! It's very heavy and beautifully made. After comparing the ones I returned to the this one...I was reminded of how much I appreciate buying something I'll have for a long time rather than a "throw away" that I'll get rid of at a garage sale in a year or two.
I really, really love the look and weight of this lamp. It looks incredibly expensive and has a good weight to it. The lamp is broken into four parts and is held together by the cord running through. I easily screwed together the top three parts but when I attempted to screw the pole into the lamp base, it wouldn't "catch." It seemed as though the parts had been mismatched, which wouldn't be a big deal if the crystal spheres weren't so heavy. The lamp tilted at least two inches. When I called to trade in the lamp for a new one, they were out of stock. Quite disappointing.
I was very surprised this lamp is so bottom heavy. A bad thing for people but a great attribute in a floor lamp! It doesn't wobble a bit! It is very nice looking, not quite as glittery as other "crystal" lamps I own. But very attractive.
I received the lamp promptly with no problems. Most of the reviews are right. Very nice, it is heavy so no fear of tipping over. Lamp shade was ok, I agree it is more white than off white. Over all very happy with the purchase. Thanks Overstock!
I am absolutely satisfied with this lamp. It is exactly what i was looking for. I complements my contemporary decor as I expected it would. the glass spheres look great, clean and polished. Thank you overstock for meeting my expectations with the products i acquire from you.
I was very happy with this lamp. I was trying to match a glass table lamp from *** that did not have a similar floor lamp. Lamp was very heavy and seems like very good quality. I did not have a problem with the lamp not being straight like some other reviewers mentioned.
After reading reviews that this lamp stood a bit crooked, I was a bit skeptical about my purchase, BUT I found that this was NOT the case with my lamp: it stands straight. The shade is more white than off white.
The floor lamp is beautiful and actually decently priced for what you get - the only thing is the shade itself is not that great but I've kept it as it's fine. Would highly recommend I've had it for over a year know and it's just as beautiful (and I'm really picky!) p.s it's nice and heavy at the base to it doesn't move or get knocked over by dogs/kids etc.

by Canadian Film Centre
Roman Polanski was born in Paris in 1933 to a Polish father and to a Russian mother, when he was four, the family moved to Krakow in Poland. They were living there in 1939 when World War II broke out, the Polanskis were forced into the Krakow ghetto with thousands of other Polish Jews by the Nazi invaders. Tragically, his parents were eventually sent to the concentration camps, his father survived but his mother was murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau. The young Polanski managed to escape the Krakow ghetto with the help of a Polish Roman Catholic farmer who hid him in his outhouses, Polanski later wandered the Polish countryside for the duration of the war, managing to find shelter and sustenance with Catholic families. After the war, he was re-united with his father and moved back to Krakow. He began to become involved in acting and with the help of the great Polish film director, Andrzej Wajda was accepted into the Lodz Film School. It soon became apparent that Polanski had found his medium, the short films which he made while there being critically lauded. His first feature, Knife in the Water (1962) was what would become known as pure Polanski; a moody, brooding, smothering piece which explored the dark side of the human psyche and the seedy underbelly that belies human contact and relationships. It was almost all shot and set on the spatially controlled environment of a boat. The movie proved to be an international commercial success and it picked up an Academy nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.
After making Knife on the Water (1962) Polanski moved to England where he made three films in succession based on original scripts written by him and his regular collaborator Gerard Brach. Polanski landed in London slap bang in the middle of Beatlemania and the swinging sixties. However, Polanski didn't give a toss what was going on, he was possessed of a vision and he wasn't about to drop it. His Repulsion (1965), starred Catherine Deneuve being terrified and wore it's Surrealist influences on it's sleeve as well as the earlier horrors and psychological thrillers of Bunuel, Cocteau and Hitchcock. His 1966 effort Cul-de-Sac was inspired by Beckett's Waiting for Godot and Pinter's The Birthday Party and was no fun to make, just ask Donald Pleasance who lodged complaints over Polanski's manic method of directing. It was on the set of this technically dazzling horror spoof The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967) where he met the beautiful actress Sharon Tate whom he fell in love with and married, she was his second wife after his earlier marriage to Barbara Lass. The couple moved to the Hollywood Hills, Polanski accepted a script entitled Rosemary's Baby (1968) which Hitchcock had earlier turned down. Polanski threw himself into his work, the Hollywood crew were quite startled at his knowledge of all facets of filmmaking. Once again he illustrated his devotion to the truth forcing his leading lady, Mia Farrow to eat raw liver and she, the poor girl an avid vegetarian. The film earned another Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, the boy had arrived in the Hollywood set.
After the great success of Rosemary's Baby (1968), a terrible tragedy was to befall Polanski's life when on 9 August 1969, his wife Sharon who was eight months pregnant with their first child was brutally murdered along with four other people by members of Charles Manson's cult 'The Family'. Polanski, absolutely devastated, gave away all his possessions and returned to Europe, broken-hearted. He made two movies, Macbeth (1971) and What? (1972) before returning to Hollywood to direct the tour de force that was Chinatown (1974). Polanski once again refused to be influenced by what was in vogue and was not attracted by the stylistic freedoms of the New Wave filmmakers. He filmed with wide angle lenses, bright lights and precise framing but the film was a wolf in sheep's clothing, it was pure noir, launching a scathing attack on the American Dream, it was one of the most important films of the era, it was nominated for eleven Academy Awards. Soon after the release of Chinatown, Polanski was charged with unlawful sexual intercourse with a thirteen year old girl, he fled to Europe settling in France, the US authorities issued a request for his extradition which the French authorities turned down. Polanski now works and travels in countries that he cannot be extradited from, such as France, Poland and Germany. He immediately continued to work, making the claustrophobic The Tenant (1976) about a transvestite tenement dweller which once again explored the theme of urban alienation. He followed it with the curious choice of an adaptation of Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles.
Tess (1979) received several Academy Award nominations including Best Picture andwon Oscars for best cinematography and best art direction, once again Polanski's star appeared undimmed. However, he then disappeared from the film game for seven years and when he did return it was with the critical and commercial disaster that was Pirates (1986). It was the first time that a Polanski film was not well received, however he quickly recovered and followed it up with the critically acclaimed Hitchcockian-like Frantic (1988) starring Harrison Ford and Emmanuelle Seigner. Polanski and Seigner fell in love, were later married and have two children. Back on form, he cast Seigneur again in the strangely compelling Bitter Moon (1994); returned to his bizarre, triangular, paranoid , smothering pieces of before with Death and the Maiden (1994); and The Ninth Gate (1999) which although was originally perceived as a lacklustre Polanski has since begun to gather a cult following. He cemented his place among the pantheon of the world's finest directors when his 2002 film The Pianist won the Palme d'Or, Cesar for Best Film and the Academy Award for Best Director. He did not attend the Oscar ceremony for fear that he would be arrested as there were still demands for his extradition by the US authorities. In The Pianist, Polanski returned to the horrific ground and terrible memories of his childhood in Nazi occupied Poland during World War II. Similarly perhaps in remembrance of his childhood, Polanski directed Oliver Twist (2005), he is currently working on The Ghost which is due for release in 2010.

David Sedaris, Live and in Paperback
Just in time for beach reading, David Sedaris' latest, When You Are Engulfed in Flames comes out in paperback this June. His latest collection of essays focuses on him turning 50, matters of death and mid-life crisis-ing. And just in time for plane travel season, Sedaris is also included in a forthcoming collection of stories about air travel, Flight Patterns: A Century of Stories about Flying (also in June.)
He'll be reading at Cal Performances' "Strictly Speaking" series this Sunday, which we're very excited for. As one critic aptly put it, "when it comes to fashioning the sardonic wisecrack, the humiliating circumstance, and the absurdist fantasy, there's nobody better."
