"Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that Cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we spring."
"Scholars concede but cannot explain the amazing chemistry of Cub fans' loyalty. But their unique steadfastness through thin and thin has something to do with the team's Franciscan simplicity."
"A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle; and patriotism is loyalty to that principle."

Some such list as that might be drawn up of the absent things in American life."

The Bros Who Inherited the Earth
Here's the guy who runs Uber, which has raised over $300 million:
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick says he was not getting any ladies when he was previous startups were tanking. "It's great now!"
— Nicholas Carlson (@nichcarlson) May 28, 2014
And the guy who co-founded RapGenius, which has raised over $15 million because it's the darling of two of the most influential investors in the world:
(Previously: "I'mma rape you in your mouth")
And finally, this is the guy who founded Snapchat, writing in 2009:
Bro, these three samples were collected from this week alone: This isn't a fluke! This is who wins in the tech meritocracy. There are glimmers of accountability: Mahbod Moghadam of Rap Genius was fired, at least, but he will still get rich in a LIQUIDITY EVENT, or a pity sale, or whatever near-guaranteed positive fate that befalls his company. Travis Kalanick and Evan Spiegel are both poised, as much as anyone can be, to become some of the most powerful figures in American capitalism. The views they will bring to bear upon the world, the molds in which they openly desire to recast society, were forged over beer pong tables in basements near Stanford. Listen to how this grown man talks:
The most promising sector the economy has is represented by a fraternity of leering boys wearing their fathers' suits. They should not get a pass because they're "visionaries" — in any other context, this would be understood as garbage behavior from garbage people. Let a wave come and wash away these people so that we may try again! Their ideas will survive just fine.

The previous gang of "alpha" idiots may have been even worse. There weren't many in tech before the Internet gold rush, but in law, investment banking, finance. No apocalypse can ever wash those mean little boys away, I fear; they'll just come slowly back again and swarm around the money.
It's nothing to do with tech, the new whatever, or anything.
Entrepreneurship is for people who can afford to not work a guaranteed paying thing without disrupting their life or people who can be willing to risk living in poverty (HI THE AWL GUYS) to do the thing they care about. It is also for people who have been raised with the belief that "Yes, your thoughts are valid! YOU CAN BE A SUCCESS"
It's not surprising that a lot of entrepreneurs are assholes. I'm sure it's always been that way.
How coarse. Ayn Rand would take them over her knee.
The only difference between these bros and past bros is a) these bros got paid at a much earlier age, and b) these bros left a quasi-public record of their idiot frat days. Twentysomething bros in the pipeline have always been idiots with regressive attitudes toward women, they just didn't have the Internet to record their awful behavior and had learned how to sound like grown-ups by the time anyone cared. These dumbasses will get there too.
Coming soon from Thomas Friedman: The Keg Stand and The Olive Tree
@Pulp : The World is Flat-Out WASTED, Dude
@Gef the Talking Mongoose "Charlie, China's bros are running trains and BUILDING trains. If America's bros can hope to compete, we need investments in transit infrastructure and sorority scholarships. As I learned when I talked with Chad Howell V on a tour of his frat house…" – Thomas Friedman on the Charlie Rose show, 2015
You'll only have yourself to blame when #NotAllTechBros starts trending.
"Let a wave come and wash away these people so that we may try again!": Assuming "we" is the current edition of Homo sapiens, this is doomed. It's like cleaning the Augean stables without first removing the horses.
Anyway, it's very easy to avoid ever using any of these "services", which makes these savages much less troublesome than the sociopaths who dominate banking, energy, and a bunch of other industries that are hard to avoid.
Also, notice what Kalanick admitted, perhaps unintentionally: no woman would be interested in him if he didn't have lots of money. Of course, this means they still aren't really interested in him, just his money.
@Ralph Haygood This is an excellent point and makes me feel much better about everything.
Well said! I laid out pretty much the same dilevian vision in my book on how to succeed as an internet entrepreneur, Hugging It.

Ford SYNC Goes WiFi Turning Car Into Mobile Internet Hot Spot for Passengers While On The Go
DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
- Next-generation SYNC(®) system to incorporate in-car WiFi system powered by customer's USB mobile broadband modem, turning entire car into hot spot
- New capability will be standard on select SYNC-equipped vehicles with no additional hardware or subscriptions required beyond the user-supplied mobile broadband modem
- Standard WiFi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) security protocols will be in force, and only owner-permitted devices will be able to access the network, helping ensure secure, robust connectivity for in-car users
Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) will turn vehicles into rolling WiFi hot spots when it introduces the second generation of its popular SYNC(®) in-car connectivity system next year.
Inserting an owner's compatible USB mobile broadband modem - sometimes called an "air card" - into SYNC's USB port will produce a secure wireless connection that will be broadcast throughout the vehicle, allowing passengers with WiFi-enabled mobile devices to access the Internet anywhere the broadband modem receives connectivity.
"While you're driving to grandma's house, your spouse can be finishing the holiday shopping and the kids can be chatting with friends and updating their Facebook profiles," said Mark Fields, Ford president of The Americas. "And you're not paying for yet another mobile subscription or piece of hardware because Ford will let you use technology you already have."
Studies by the Consumer Electronics Association show that as many as 77 million adults make up the so-called technology enthusiast drivers population, more than half of whom express the desire for a connected communications and information system in their vehicles. Even among the general population, more than one third of Americans would be interested in the ability to check email and access Web sites in their vehicles.
Upgradeable and secure
The USB port provided by SYNC lets owners leverage a variety of devices, including the mobile broadband modem. And through simple software updates, SYNC can be adapted to connect with the latest devices.
"The speeds with which technology is evolving, particularly on the wireless front, makes obsolescence a real problem," said Doug VanDagens, director of Ford's Connected Services Solutions Organization. "We've solved that problem by making SYNC work with just about any technology you plug into it. By leveraging a user's existing hardware, which can be upgraded independent of SYNC, we've helped ensure 'forward compatibility' with whatever connectivity technology comes next."
The SYNC WiFi capability is a simple solution for bringing internet into the vehicle, versus competitive systems on the market. Being factory-installed, the hardware is seamlessly integrated into the vehicle, whereas competitor's systems are dealer-installed and require a bulky bolt-in receiver and transmitter that take up cabin space. Also, competitive systems cost approximately $500 for equipment and installation, not to mention the monthly subscription fee.
"Using SYNC with existing mobile devices helps Ford provide the most value, the most flexibility and the most convenience for owners," said Fields. "Constant connectivity is becoming a routine part of our customers' lives, and we're making existing technology more accessible without adding costs: That's the kind of value Ford drivers have learned to expect."
Using the SYNC WiFi system, a signal will be broadcast throughout the vehicle. Default security is set to WiFi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), requiring users to enter a randomly chosen password to connect to the Internet. When SYNC sees a new WiFi device for the first time, the driver must specifically allow that device to connect, preventing unauthorized users from "piggybacking" on the SYNC-provided signal.

Good idea.
People will use this and enjoy it too. It will help them sell cars.
Just a little item of components and a cellular structure.

So what's avoiding us from experiencing them both at the same time? Ford is these days pushing back again with a identical statement of its own.Forecasted variety recommend that by 2016, 62 thousand international customers will have Online in their vehicles, and it's rollouts like this that will help see it in AutoMD.

Retro Tuesday!
Bush's tie may not match his political views, but we definitely think it makes the subtle blue tint of his aging hair pop.
Joe Biden rocks stunner shades.
Accessories Alert!
Throwback Thursday: anon's least favorite suit and tie combo is making an appearance. I guess even on MTV it's hard to let go of convention!
Right/left divide left out of it, I think we can all agree that politics would be much more enjoyable for everyone involved if our leaders dressed like a J Crew catalog.
Anonymous said: Concerning your last post, men generally don't fully button their jackets and/or blazers unless they will be standing the entire time they wear the garment (if the bottom button is buttoned and the man sits down, the jacket will strain on his stomach and create unsightly wrinkles). On another note, would it hurt you to post interesting fashions? Your 'coat and tie' combo posts are as predictable and dull as your "witty" comments.
sorry anon i'll try harder 4 u xo
ps rand paul has been standing for literally hours and hours now so he should probably button up
Come on, Rand. We know that filibustering is hard work, but that least you could have done was button your jacket and brush your hair. Boehner's not gonna be happy with you.
Bare necked and exposed is a risque look: daring but potentially sloppy, casual but maybe messy. Are Sheldon Adelson and Mitt Romney pulling it off?
George H. W.'s daring combo of pinstripes and polka dots? Obama's iridescent blue neckwear? Jimmy Carter's Christmas tie? This is a tough one! Who knocks it out of the park, and who should be impeached?

December 13
Good Monday morning Internet.
This sign says it all for me.
Today is Monday and I am nosy.
- What's the worst thing about really bad snow storms?
- What's the best thing about really bad snow storms?
- What's your favorite (be honest!) way to pass the time when the power's out?
- In what ways are you always prepared for a bad storm?
- What's your favorite song with the word "snow" in the title?
Guess what we got all day yesterday…
1. The worst thing about a really bad snow storm is that I feel trapped at home.
2. The best thing about a really bad snow storm is everyone being trapped at home and hot chocolate.
3. When the power is out, I like to read, or sleep.
4. I used to live out in the country and the electricity went out on a regular basis. I have all sorts of things to be prepared for any kind of storm. Propane stove, extra propane, hurricane lamps, canned goods, etc. The only thing I don't have is bottled water.
5. I do not like snow, so I have no snow favorite song.
How about you?
8 Responses
1. Wanting to be somewhere else.
2. Enjoying the quiet and beauty.
3. Visit with our parents who normally always have power.
4. extra food, water & logs for the fire
5. White Christmas or Over the river to grandma's house.
Living in the middle of Texas we don't normally get alot of snow, but last year I think we got everyone elses.
1. The roads, and if you have to be out on them without a 4×4 truck.
2. Being stuck at home for the week. Yay! Yeah, I can be a bit of a hermit.
3. The kids like to play their hand held video games, (and are not happy if they'd forgotten to recharge it!) and I like to read.
4. Living in the cold north, I am shockingly unprepared for storms and power outages. We have a woodstove, so heat's not an issue. We have access to water, but I should have a jug or two of water on hand, in the house. I have candles around the house, but I really need to have a couple of hurricane lamps.
I am very, very thankful for the men and women who work for the power company. They get out and get the power lines fixed very quickly. Power outages are not all that frequent and they only last a couple hours at most.
5. I don't know, I guess the obvious – White Christmas or Let It Snow.
1. The power being off.
2. Snuggling
3. Reading
4. Candles
5. The Snow song in White Christmas…"I want to wash my hands,my face and hair, with snow"…Can't say as it's my favorite but it definately sticks in your head.
1. Worst: The coldness of it all, I just feel it clear through to my bones and shake, I DO NOT like being chilled to the bone.
2. Best: It's nice to sometimes have everything canceled and not feel bad about not showing up for things.
3. Favorite thing to do (be honest)…okay, I'm being honest: This is a family blog, so I will leave it up to your imagination…and yes, it's okay to go there!
4. Semi-prepared with necessities and flashlights, candles, firewood, etc.
5. Song: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!
1.Losing power.
2.Being at home snuggled under a warm wrap and drinking a cappuccino.
3.Reading or playing games.
4. Food that doesn't need to be cooked,flashlights,(extra batteries),candles,water,kerosene heater.
5.Walking in a Winter Wonderland.
Just remember Tanya, It won't snow all the time. This too shall pass.

CANTON, N.Y. – Two young Amish sisters were sexually abused after their abduction from a roadside farm stand in northern New York, a prosecutor said Saturday.
St. Lawrence County District Attorney Mary Rain's disclosure came hours after the county's sheriff said the couple charged in the kidnapping were prowling for easy targets and may have planned to abduct other children.
Stephen Howells Jr. and Nicole Vaisey, both of Hermon, were arrested and arraigned Friday on charges they abducted the 7-year-old and 12-year-old sisters with the intent to physically or sexually abuse them.
We felt that there was the definite potential that there was going to be other victims, St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin Wells said.
The sisters were abducted Wednesday from the farm stand in front of the family's home in Oswegatchie, near the Canadian border. They were set free by their captors about 24 hours later and turned up safe at the door of a house 15 miles from where they were taken.
The sheriff said Howells, 39, and Vaisey, 25, were targeting opportunities and did not necessarily grab the girls because they were Amish.
There was a lot of thought process that went into this, Wells said. They were looking for opportunities to victimize.
The suspects are being held without bail. A preliminary court appearance is scheduled for Thursday.
Vaisey's lawyer, Bradford Riendeau said, We're going to be reviewing the available evidence. He said he expected to speak with her in jail later Saturday.
There was no answer Saturday at the St. Lawrence County Conflict Defender's Office, which is representing Howells.
Wells said the girls were able to provide details to investigators about their time in captivity.
The Associated Press generally does not identify people who may be victims of sexual abuse.
The kidnappings touched off a massive search in the family's community. Searchers scoured the community of about 4,000 people, but were hampered by a lack of photos of the girls. The Amish typically avoid modern technology, and the family had to work with an artist who spoke their language, a German dialect known as Pennsylvania Dutch, to produce a sketch of the older girl.

text: The door opens and it's the hotel manager! And he kind of stops. I'm having a cigarette and Mitchell's face is covered in blood and there's this dead girl lying on the bed — which reminds me, she's coming by later. So the manager is standing there, staring at this scene, and there's this kind of silence. And Michell says "… ah, tomb service".

text: Feb 27 2013 Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us → If you are confused by the notion that those least able to pay are the ones singled out to pay the highest rates, welcome to the American medical marketplace. I literally shook as I read Steven Brill's epic breakdown of inflated medical expenses — not because I was angry (though I was), but because there is nothing —nothing — that terrifies me more than the American healthcare system.Statistically speaking, you might encounter some pretty heinous stuff over the course of a typical human lifespan in this country. You might be struck in a car accident, be gunned down in an elementary school or movie theater, blown up in an office building. You might, but you probably won't.But as it stands today, you are almost certain, pratically guaranteed, to get fucked by healthcare bills at some point. It's just a question of how badly.

The African Development Bank (AfDB) would invest $45-million, in the form of a grant, to initiate the development of a $154.2-million multinational science, innovation and technology Pan African University (PAU) project.
The five-year project would see the establishment of a regional university structured thematically within existing institutions across five countries representing the East, West, Central, North and Southern African regions.
Each region would deliver a themed programme, namely basic sciences, technology and innovation; earth and life sciences, including health and agriculture; water and energy sciences, including climate change; governance, humanities and social sciences; and space sciences, in an effort to boost the continent's lagging education in the fields of science and technology.
"Africa has been slow to develop its science and technology sectors and commercialise its innovations," AfDB human development department director Agnes Soucat said, adding that the PAU would enhance the continent's competitiveness and growth through the creation of high-quality higher education and research capabilities.
The best African university currently had a ranking of 113 globally, with only four – all of which were based in South Africa – of the 400 top universities worldwide on the continent.
Africa also produced only 1.1% of world scientific knowledge, despite accounting for 13.4% of the global population.
According to the AfDB's project appraisal report, African countries hosted 35 scientists and engineers per one-million inhabitants, compared with 168 in Brazil, 2 457 in Europe and 4 103 in the US.
The lack of "high profile" institutions in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics also resulted in 260 000 tertiary students from sub-Saharan Africa studying abroad.
As the first three institutes were established, the PAU aimed to enrol, during the first five years, 1 064 students in masters' programmes and 486 in PhD programmes, and award an estimated 794 Master's degrees and 231 PhD degrees.
The first institutes would be launched in East Africa at Kenya's Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, hosting the basic sciences, technology and innovation programme; in Central Africa at Cameroon's University of Yaoundé II, which would represent the governance, humanities and social sciences programme; and, in Nigeria, at the University of Ibadan, under the programme earth and life sciences, health and agriculture.
Algeria would potentially host the fourth institute under the programme water and energy science, including climate change, on behalf of North Africa, while the host country to represent Southern Africa and the space sciences programme had yet to be selected.
"Thousands of students all over Africa will benefit from this project. This is truly an amazing regional effort to help African universities achieve world-class status," Soucat said.
The African Union Commission, the countries hosting the PAU institutes and the Lead Thematic Partners would provide the balance of funding required for the PAU project, the appraisal report said.
Despite both national and international focus on literacy and education in Africa, in part driven by the soon-to-expire Millennium Development Goals, the resulting programmes and policies are all too often delivered in the languages of former colonial powers - particularly English, French and Portuguese - at the cost of excluding the majority and those most in need. "No country can make progress on the basis of a borrowed language, understood only by a minority," says Prah, "Only ten per cent of African people can speak French, Portuguese or English fluently. These languages cannot be the only languages of African development."
The problem is not merely one of shaking off the remnants of the past, but of convincing those within every level of African society that undermining the status of African languages serves the interests of no one. "It's not just a question of Western arrogance," explains Prah, "but also of African complicity. The cultural power of the African elite is based on the fact that they are proficient users of post-colonial languages. They instil a new colonial order which excludes the majority from the structures of power."
"Some African languages are spoken by fifty or sixty million people. It makes economic sense to develop products for this market, by this market." If we continue to pretend that African languages are unimportant in the drive to achieve 'education for all', says Prah, "we will forever be waiting for 90% of Africans to become English!"
Professor Kwesi Kwaa Prah, founder of The Centre for Advanced Studies of African Society, speaks about the importance of cultivating and sustaining broader uses of African languages as a tool for development around the continent, and in breaking down the imposed barriers created through the maintained hierarchy of colonial languages.
Professor Prah also stressed that the need for this kind of fundamental change needs to start with policy makers on the continent who themselves are also victims of the entrapments laid about by colonial language systems that saw African languages as inferior.
…he suggests that even those in positions of power are allowing themselves to be limited by the same colonial hierarchies of the past. "They are second-hand users of these cultures. Therefore, they are actually positioning themselves as inferiors. This can lead to a bottle-neck of tension that can explode."
…Prah points to Vietnam and their Southeast Asian neighbours Malaysia and Indonesia. "Vietnam is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. They stopped using the language of their French colonisers: this is precisely why they are succeeding."

Serving Merritt Island, Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, Rockledge, and Cape Canaveral
Welcome to our website! Based in Merritt Island, Florida, Joe Murray for Florida House, District 51 is my political campaign for Florida House of Representatives. The Space Coast area has lost many jobs due to shutdowns and I want to bring the jobs back using my extensive technology industry contacts. We need a representative to truly work for the home front. What is the "Home Front"? We are talking about Merritt Island, Cocoa, Rockledge, Cocoa Beach, Port St. John and Cape Canaveral, Florida. We can not afford a Governor and Speaker of the House who cater to special interests and neglect single workers and working families. It is unacceptable to repeatedly turn away jobs and economic assistance for political purposes. We need someone to work intensely for our District 51, a person who cares about the economic future of our community and who will not turn away quality jobs and outside economic assistance which does not adversely affect our Florida lifestyle. It is time for the "Good Ole Boys" to be voted out, not because they are "Good Ole Boys", but because they "Are Not Gettin It Done"!
It's time to focus on local people, neighbors, and friends, not Democrat or Republican. Yes, I am a Democrat, but I am an American first. I want to represent all of the residents of our great district. I also believe in balanced budget, instituting a livable working wage, gun rights, gun safety and responsibility, preventing unstable people from owning guns, reducing deficits and, most importantly, economic growth. Join me and let's make our community and families THRIVE!
Contact me today to pledge your support and receive more information about my economic plan and proposed future legislation.

Novartis looks at possible venture at Dubai Healthcare City
Novartis Pharma Services has begun to investigate potential collaborations in the areas of medical research, diagnostic services and education at the Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC).
Novartis General Manager Stewart Fairbairn, along with Regional Head of Arabian Gulf operations, Roger A. Bassoul and Head of Marketing, Elisabeth MacGillivray arrived in Dubai and met with Chairman of the Board of Dubai Healthcare City, Saeed Al-Muntafiq, and DHCC CEO, Adel Saeed Al-Shamsi.
They discussed potential partnership between the two institutions and how facilities at DHCC could possibly be utilized by Novartis in its focus areas.
Al Muntafiq welcomed the interest from Novartis saying that it has been the endeavor of DHCC to find partners who are highly respected in the world for their technology, research and product and services.
Novartis is a leading global medical institution. It was created in 1996 from the merger of the Swiss companies, Ciba and Sandoz. By 2002, the Group's businesses achieved sales of $20.9 billion and a net income of $4.7 billion. The Group invested approximately $2.8 billion in research and development. — (menareport.com)

Roger Simon: Blood on his hands, victory in his sights
He will say anything to advance the agenda of the National Rifle Association, which he runs, and he doesn't worry about his critics. Under his leadership, the NRA has grown and today is one of the most feared lobbies on Capitol Hill.
I should point out that, unlike Dracula, LaPierre neither kills people nor drinks their blood. It is just my personal belief that the NRA's gun mania has led to the slaughter of thousands of innocent men, women and children in this country.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is now spending $12 million of his own money on TV ads to combat the NRA and LaPierre. The ads are calm and reasonable. In one, a hunter in a plaid shirt, cradling a shotgun, says, "I support comprehensive background checks so criminals and the dangerously mentally ill can't buy guns."
But to LaPierre, "calm and reasonable" is the same as "weak." Bloomberg "can't spend enough of his $27 billion to try to impose his will on the American public," LaPierre sneered on "Meet the Press" Sunday. "They don't want him telling them what food to eat; they sure don't want him telling them what self-defense firearms to own. And he can't buy America!"
All anyone really has to buy, however, is Congress. LaPierre knows how to intimidate senators. He tells them that the "NRA's nearly 5 million members and America's 100 million gun owners" will not vote for legislators in 2014 who are trying to grab their assault rifles, limit the size of their ammo clips or create universal background checks that will, as LaPierre tells them, lead the government "to tax" and "to take" their weapons.
To LaPierre, the war over guns is a class war. "Political elites," he said in a recent speech, "insult, denigrate and call us crazy. In their distorted view of the world, they are smarter than we are. They are special and more worthy than we are."
LaPierre doesn't always win. Bill Clinton, who knew how to speak to what were then called "Bubba" voters, beat him and signed an assault weapons ban in 1993. But that ban expired in 2003. Barack Obama wants it back, as do Bloomberg and several senators. But not enough senators. Not nearly enough.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who has pretty much bobbled gun legislation this year, has something like 40 to 45 votes for the ban, far short of the 60 he needs for passage. So he has thrown the assault weapons ban under the bus. It will not be part of Reid's "base" bill. Instead, it will be offered as an amendment that Reid knows will fail.
The ban on high-capacity gun magazines is also not in the base bill, but there is some hope for it. "It is uphill on gun magazines," a source told me. "We are in the 40s (on senators willing to vote for it). By adjusting the number of rounds allowed in the clips, we can get to 50 votes, and maybe then we can get to 60."
The items that have a reasonably good chance of passing the Senate are the "unsexy" ones that get little attention: making gun trafficking a federal crime and providing more money for fencing, security cameras, metal detectors, psychological counseling and, perhaps, armed guards at some schools.
Universal background checks might also make it, but most likely only if there are privacy provisions to keep the press and public from knowing the names of gun owners.
Does all this seem like somewhat of a letdown after the terrible tragedy at Newtown? Weren't we expecting more from our lawmakers?
A source familiar with White House thinking told me the President is going to use his "bully pulpit" for gun control in the days ahead and Joe Biden will seriously jawbone senators when they return from their spring break.
"It's about intensity," the source said. "A majority of people are for gun control in America, but the NRA has intensity. A billionaire spends money on ads, but will that change things? Senators want to know what their phones calls are like, their letters, their emails, their social media and whether people are going to town meetings.
"People can still rise up. Don't write the obit for gun control yet."

So, Moe Ginsberg the tailor retires, sells his shop and decides to go on a Mediterranean cruise. Since he's travelling alone, he is seated opposite a stranger at dinner. When the soup is served, the other gentleman rises, bows, and says, "Bon apetit!" Ginsberg rises, bows, and says, "Ginsberg." Next day, same thing. The Frenchman rises at the beginning of the meal, says, "Bon apetit!", and Ginsberg says, "Ginsberg." A week passes. Finally, overcome with curiosity, Ginsberg asks a passing steward for an explanation for all this. The steward explains that "Bon apetit" is a pleasant, polite salute and expression of the desire that one's companion enjoy his meal. That night, when the soup is served, Ginsberg rises, bows, and says, "Bon apetit!" The Frenchman rises, bows, clicks his heels and says, "Ginsberg!" Jeez, is that the time?

text: A Sober Take on Wine Packaging… Stranger & Stranger's packaging for wine maker Truett-Hurst, clearly and cleverly adds value to a consumer's choice. The bottles are wrapped in paper and are covered with recipes, pictures, and quotes. The content is not random but is linked to the occasions that type of wine would fit. This is solid branding as it makes a customer's life easier, educates, and entertains. S&S identified 22 niches and buying occasions for the enhanced packaging. In turn, each unique sleeve was patented and gave the possibility of more content over standard wine labels. The wines have just been launched by Safeway. Kevin Shaw, founder and creative director of Stranger & Stranger, shared, "The added real estate that the over sleeve gives us has allowed us to engage with people in a way that a tiny back label never can. Everyone just wants to pick up and read these packs. The best ideas are the simplest and we made them look striking and very individual. The launch range is just hitting the shelves and we're developing new ideas every day." wine packaging design branding advertising rlw1983 likes thisdesigntank likes thisbluechoochoo likes thisopalstackhouse likes this711225 reblogged this from jeffswystunrjfizz likes thisvintagepandafur likes thisjeffswystun posted this

Godzilla dir. by Gareth Edwards
Is there a point to me doing a quick recap of a Godzilla movie plot? I mean, you all know that Godzilla means monsters and destruction, possibly Japan, and possible monster fights, right? That's all there in the title. So what does this film add to the whole Godzilla mythology? Well, it does have Bryan Cranston1 so that's a pointRead more

Following a demand from Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) for a live feed of the BP oil spill to be made publicly available on the web, BP said they would release the feed and it will be shown on Rep. Markey's committee website at www.globalwarming.house.gov.
"This may be BP's footage, but it's America's ocean. Now anyone will be able to see the real-time effects the BP spill is having on our ocean," said Rep. Markey.
Meantime, federal scientists say a small portion of the oil slick from the blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico has reached a powerful current that could take it to Florida.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists said yesterday they've detected light to very light sheens in the loop current, which circulates into the Gulf and takes water south to the Florida Keys and the Gulf Stream.
The agency says that any oil would be "highly weathered" and could evaporate before reaching Florida. And it says the oil could never reach Florida at all. But scientists say diluted oil could appear in isolated locations in Florida if persistent winds push the current toward it. Meanwhile, BP PLC says it hopes to start the next phase of its effort to halt the flow of oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday or early next week.
The "top-kill" method involves shooting heavy mud into crippled equipment on top of the well to stem the flow of oil and gas. The company's engineers hope to quickly follow it up by aiming cement at the well to permanently keep down the oil.

Treloar School and Alton College student Marie Devlin is celebrating accepting a bursary from the Helena Kennedy Foundation which will allow her to study Speech and Communication Science at the University of Portsmouth.
Marie, who has scoliosis and uses a manual wheelchair, has been working hard to combine AS and A levels at Alton College and Treloar School over the last 3 years.
Having achieved AS levels in Communication & Culture and English Language & Literature, as well as a full A level in Health & Social Care at Alton College, Marie also has an AS level in Art & Design and a Foundation Diploma in ICT under her belt from Treloar School.
Whether you did better in your GCSEs than you had hoped, or not as well as you expected, don't worry, there's a course for you at Alton College. We still have places available in many areas including Public Services, Sport and Performing Arts.

Congratulations to all our students who have received fantastic results this year.
Results in core subjects such as English, Mathematics, Sciences, Modern Languages, Humanities and the Arts were particularly notable for their success.

Friday 13th might be unlucky for some but for College student Andy McKenna this month's date is set to be a day to remember.
Last year, Andy was unknowingly nominated by a friend to carry the Olympic flame as part of the national build-up to the summer of sport. When he found out his name had been put forward, little did he expect to be a success with the judges and now find himself preparing to carry the flame in Poole.

The number of young people studying Advanced Level Science and pursuing it into Higher Education and careers has been declining overall in this country. Our College has been bucking this trend with large numbers of young people studying science and continuing them in related disciplines at university.
Last week, a handful of our talented students bravely presented the results of their specialist research on complex scientific topics to an audience of staff, students and invited guests.
Our Adult Education department opened their doors yesterday and showed over 100 adults how they can get a brighter future.
It's not too late to discover how you can do the same. From Accounting to Photography and Film Studies to Psychology, you're bound to find something you'd like to take up.

North of Northwest: Ten Favorites from 2012
I could pretend to be cool, to be hip, to be omnipotent, but the truth is I spent about six months last year vacationing off the face of the earth, and I didn't hear nearly as much new music as I normally would have. Thus any claim that I could tell you the ten "best" Canadian records from last year would be even more farcical than usual, but I can offer ten that are worth your time and much-competed-for ear.
In no well-thought-out order:
Baby Eagle and the Proud Mothers – Bone Soldiers
Gravelly sing-talk and beautiful noise combine on this richly layered fourth album from Steve Lambke and his band of friends.
Victoria band Snoqualmie's debut album seems to contain the very soul of the Pacific Northwest: delicate, beautiful, and ominous.
Cold Specks – I Predict A Graceful Expulsion
This record calls holy holy holy, Al Spx's earthy voice paradoxically pulling you off the ground and up to heaven on its honey golden threads.
Weakerthans frontman Samson goes it alone but maintains his poetic humanism and bittersweet sense of humor.
A 40-minute sneer you can shake your hips to.
Whitehorse – The Fate of the World Depends on This Kiss
Cold wind howl and outlaw swagger on this psych-tinged country rock record from husband-wife duo Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland.
Eamon McGrath – Young Canadians
A crackling thunderstorm of an album: rumbling, tarry darkness shot through with static and the uncanny ability to make your hair stand on end.
Diamond Rings – Free Dimensional
On only his second solo record, the devastatingly stylish and eminently likable John O'Reagan already shows near-complete mastery of the pop song.
Hawk and Steel – Danger Road
Nuanced alt-country with the reverberating catchiness of garage pop and a touch of big-rock swagger helmed by former Forestry member Peter Gardner.
Honey-tongued troubadour Afie Jurvanen delivers the year's sexiest breakup album.

Lawsuit filed over student loan data
Thousands 'at risk for identity theft'
Chris Vander Doelen, The Windsor StarPublished: Saturday, January 19, 2013
Even just locally, the potential pool of claimants is huge.
Lori Lewis, a spokeswoman for the University of Windsor, said the school saw about 7,000 of its 16,500 students apply for loans or grants under the Ontario Student Assistance Program in the 2011-12 school year.
If the number of applicants has been on a slow, steady climb over the past 13 years, as is believed, that would translate to a pool of anywhere from 30,000 to 40,000 affected University of Windsor students alone.
Tens of thousands more students attending St. Clair College took out OSAP loans during the same period. The college had between 5,000 and 6,000 students enrolled for each of the affected years. In some classes, more than half the students took out loans.
"I think this is an important case because this is an issue which is prevalent right now - the potential for mischief is great," Strosberg said. "We live in a digital age and people have a right to know how their information is protected."

BIG LIE: Japan has never been in deflation. The "Consumer price index" from which is extracted each year the figure of inflation, is a vast joke in Japan. First, there is only one source, which is government-related.
Second, this price index has been largely affected by the collapse of the real estate market as this sort of "good" was hugely over-rated during the "bubble economy". No doubt when super-expensive places prices are divided by three or four, the index undergoes a severe revision. Idem for the price for a golf card subscription that is bizarrely included in this index that is, as said, a VAST JOKE.
Usualy speaking, don't ever trust any public figures in Japan, neither about economics, nor social issues, life expectancy (remember the almost 300000 living-dead centenaires scandal ?), national debt, rates of popularity or public support to anything, homicide rate, police clearance rate, AIDS and so on.
Three: a good
Japan's attempt to stimulate its economy is the start of the currency wars. This is not only an external war, but also this is a war against your savings. As a Japanese, we need to fight the governments attempt to dilute our savings.
To "Currency War" : you are 100% right ! The Abenomics is a plan to milk what Japanese citizen have saved during their hard-working life, and transfer that money to people who do not deserve it at all. See how the price of importated goods is boosting – making everyday living harder and harder – while the big companies/banks see their profits rising. Like in any police issue, just ask yourself who's taking the profit out of crime ?
Japan Real Time is a newsy, concise guide to what works, what doesn't and why in the one-time poster child for Asian development, as it struggles to keep pace with faster-growing neighbors while competing with Europe for Michelin-rated restaurants. Drawing on the expertise of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires, the site provides an inside track on business, politics and lifestyle in Japan as it comes to terms with being overtaken by China as the world's second-biggest economy.

Hang Down Your Head is a trip to folk-music land, along with a well-written mystery, set in Edmonton.
Researcher Randy Craig, begins a new job at the university involving a prized folk music collection. She's good at her job, has a cop for a boyfriend and trouble has a way of finding her. The story follows traditional lines: The collection has received a large bequest, the surviving heir is not pleased, he ends up dead, Craig is cast as the prime suspect and the bodies pile up. The plot and dialogue occasionally twist and meander but eventually the climax stops you in your tracks.
What's special about Hang Down Your Head is the obvious expertise and care author Janice MacDonald puts into the back story — the folk music legacy that is part of our Canadian fabric. Hang Down Your Head … what comes next?
The Code might make it to the finals.
The first chapter sets the pace. It's, blunt, casual with "feel-real" first-person storytelling and dialogue that's relentless, precise and hard-hitting.
Despite his rough edges, protagonist Brad Shade is likeable: yesterday's pro hockey journeyman, recovering bankrupt, NHL scout, wannabe private-eye and amateur psychologist. He grows on you.
The most winning coach in Canadian junior hockey and a team doctor are found dead shortly after an old-timer game. Shade is on hand doing what the Shades of the world do: relive the past and scout the future.
The insider hockey yarn feels legit. The greed, the lies and the dogged passion fits in with the rise and fall of hockey's dreams. You feel like you're eavesdropping in the locker room — blue language exempted. It's funny, poignant and convincing, and could turn into a series.
The Beggar's Opera is full of atmosphere. It's Castro's Cuba, full of old cars with no gas, printers with no toner and smuggled medicines. There's crime, albeit occasionally curious as in locals being arrested if found in a tourist hotel. But the pivotal crime is no curiosity: It's the hideous exploitation of sex tourism, becoming the brutal rape and murder of a little boy.
Inspector Ricardo Ramirez from the major crimes unit of the Cuban National Revolutionary Police carries many burdens along with a lifesaving counterpoint in the guise of a four-foot-something plastic surgeon-turned-pathologist. Here's a partner with a future.
The murder is uncovered. Cuban law provides for 72 hours of investigation. A Canadian tourist, a policeman, is quickly suspected, charged and threatened with one-way imprisonment. The investigation unravels a multi-layered web of ritual, institutional abuse, not unlike what has shamed this country for far too long.
The Beggar's Opera is a debut novel with a twisted climax, revealing dialogue and astute social observation on how far apart we are from Cuba and yet how close.
A Green Place For Dying is a moving story, set in Quebec, about two young natives enticed into a labyrinth of drugs, prostitution and pain; one is murdered and one is missing. The story's core is protagonist Meg Harris' confrontation with official indifference, guilt and self-serving rationalizations.
Dogged leg-work, the ingredient police budgets no longer can afford, is featured in a blunt, edgy style, writing that exposes the bitter taste of life-and-death frustration.
The pace reflects the stress of uncovering and piecing together shreds of information that fights being discovered. The plot reveals the territorial politics between police services and the seemingly never-ending excuse of insufficient resources.
Author R.J. Harlick's Meg Harris series shakes the boundaries with each successive novel and has reached a new plateau with A Green Place For Dying that is captivating to read and think about.
Actor/director Decker Roberts has a lucrative but dangerous sideline that more than pays the bills. He is synesthetic, a condition in which two or more of his senses are connected. No waiting on tables for this thespian. He sells his exotic gift of detecting whether someone is telling the truth for big bucks. Think about the last time you fibbed in a job interview and got away with it. Now think about getting caught thanks to Decker Roberts.
No wonder his home burns down with him in it, his bank loan is called, his studio is condemned and his credit cards are cancelled. Someone wants him very dead … or do they?
Author David Rotenberg weaves a colourful story maze out of the realities of identity theft, insights into the craft and art of acting that genuinely take you behind the scenes, and how Decker Roberts and his intolerable but tantalizing gift reconnoitres his way through this deadly warren to a clever and satisfying climax. The Placebo Effect wanders at times but is convincingly grabbing where it counts.

Introducing Utila
Famous throughout the backpacking globe as the place to learn to dive in Latin America, Utila's reputation precedes it. A distinctly quirky little island, Utila has a unique heritage: British and African ancestry and live-and-direct cultural influences from Jamaica and the Central American mainland.
Stroll along the island's main street and you'll hear killer reggae basslines from dancehalls, see elderly English-looking couples enjoying the evening breeze from their rocking chairs, and witness some of the most competitive domino games this side of Kingston.
Utila is small – about 13km long and 5km wide – and flat except for one small hill. Virtually the entire population lives in one settlement, Utila Town, set on a curving bay. There are only two small beaches here, and a cluster of tiny cays off the island's southwest shore.
Today Utila earns its keep from its reef. There are over a dozen dive schools here, and dive sites dotted around the shoreline. Whale sharks are regularly spotted around the island and are a huge draw.
A little rough around the edges, Utila is no manicured Caribbean hideaway. For such a tiny island Utila has an annoying traffic problem: a constant tide of motorcycles, quadbikes, tuk-tuks and pickups curses the island's two streets. Trash is another huge issue.

Lacoste asks Norway police to ban Anders Behring Breivik wearing their clothes
via Telegraph:
The 32-year-old gunman who killed 77 people on July 22 even wrote in his online manifesto that "refined people like him should wear brands like Lacoste".
But his choice of clothes has been described as a "nightmare" for the French company's exclusive image.
Norwegian daily Dagbladet said bosses had now written to Oslo police demanding 32-year-old Breivik be stopped from wearing their garments.
An Oslo police spokesman told the paper: "The company feels that such a man sporting their clothes could do considerable harm to their reputation."
I ugly laughed at this because just a few weeks ago, Greenpeace released their annual report on toxic water pollution in China, specifically, how clothing manufacturers, Lacoste's main supplier and producer of their garments being one of them, are releasing hazardous chemicals in the water. These chemicals are highly contaminant and contain hormone disrupting properties affecting local populations and factory workers alike.
Of course Lacoste is horrified that such a notable symptom of dehumanization, embodied by Breivik would be associated with their brand, hurting their reputation. By the looks of it, they are more keen on less visible, more low key forms of destruction.
