¡Hola! Encantada Isabel.
I love that you referred to Ithaca in your title. I find that poem so inspiring. It is such a joy to welcome you to our community. We only have a handful of members from Colombia and so, are interested in hearing more from your beautiful country. I hope you will encourage your friends to join PulseWire so that we may learn more about the issues that women face in Colombia. Here, you will find women who have dared to speak out and are making connections crossing oceans, continents, and cultural barriers to change the way we live. Stories are being told, movements are being started and laws are being reformed as lives are transformed. You are now a member of this vibrant community and I look forward to reading more about your passions, ideas, concerns and dreams. I know that you will find this to be a positive experience.
Also, please take a moment to browse through our group directory (http://www.worldpulse.com/pulsewire/groups) where you may find a group with similar interests to your own. Or, you may wish to consider starting your own group where you can build a powerful network bringing together PulseWire members with similar visions who want to share ideas or actions. With the group journal, you can brainstorm solutions, pose questions, test ideas and create a support network for your visions.
It is voices such as your own that have transformed lives and I look forward to reading more from you. Here, you can never speak too loudly or say too much. Your words ring out and bring ideas to life. You can empower others who have been hesitant to speak and show them that indeed, together we can create a future where anything could be possible. Again, welcome and thank you for joining PulseWire.

I've just been notified that Grapeleaf cellars in Berkeley, CA will be closing its doors this weekend and is selling off all of its wine by the case at unbelievably low prices. These wines, in my experience, are of extremely good quality and are sourced from vineyards that winemaker Tom Leaf has had long standing contracts with. I reviewed one of his Syrahs last year, and have tasted through many of his other wines. If I didn't have too much wine already, I'd be there buying several cases.
If you're getting married sometime soon, or know anyone who is, this is a perfect occasion to save thousands of dollars on the wine for your wedding, or maybe just to ensure that you have good wine with dinner for the next couple of years.
Here's what's on offer:
1999 Chardonnay - Sonoma Valley $59/case (=$4.92 per btl)
1999 Chardonnay - Russian River Valley $59/case
1999 Pinot Noir - Sonoma Valley $59/case
1999 Pinot Noir - Russian River Valley $79/case (=$6.58 per btl)
1999 Cuvee Noir (Pinot Noir/Zinfandel blend) $59/case
1999 Zinfandel - Two Valley Sonoma $79/case
2000 Chardonnay - Sonoma Valley $79/case
2000 Chardonnay - Carneros $30/case (=$2.50 per btl)
2000 Zinfandel - Two Valley Sonoma $49/case (=$4.08 per btl)
.... and apparently many more wines. I believe that most wines will be available for tasting as well, so you can try before you buy!
Grapeleaf Cellars Closing Sale
When: Saturday and Sunday, June 25 and 26, 10am to 6pm.
Where: 805 Camelia Street, Berkeley, CA 94710 (see directions below)
Phone: (510) 527-1305
Email: [email protected]
To get to the winery: Take 80 North (from San Francisco and Oakland) to the Gilman Street exit, turn east on Gilman and drive five blocks to 5th Street. Turn right and go one block to Camelia Street. The winery is between 5th and 6th Streets at 805 Camelia. Plenty of parking is available in the neighborhood.
Any favorites...and I wonder if he'd send me some :)
Tom's line up is rock solid. He is a great winemaker, just not a great salesman. His wines are consistently high quality. Some of my favorites are:
* Chard- Carneros (esp. 1999)
* Pinot Noir- Dutton
* Pinot Noir- Iund
* Zinfandel- 2 Valley (esp. 1999)
* Syrah
If you like balanced (not over the top oak bombs)
Chards, you will love his whites.
Hope to see you there! I'll be there all day Sunday.
Eno Wines
In the interest of openess and honesty: I am a friend of Tom's, have lent a hand during the harvest, and made wines in the same place.
I agree with Sasha's recommendations on the Pinot. The 2000 Iund and 2000 Russion River valley are fantastic.
I got a couple mixed cases about two months back and I've spoiled myself drinking it as my "everyday wine."

This past Thursday I had the honor of spending a few hours with my friend Marat Shaya, Erin from (No Subject), and Spencer Nikosey of KILLSPENCER. Spencer and his very talented team took us through the process of making a one of their bags, from early design sketches to final packaging details before each bag is shipped to their soon-to-be very happy customers. What sets KILLSPENCER apart from other bag companies I've seen is that each of their bags is made to order in their Los Angeles office/workshop, reintroducing American Made quality to the market.
I originally intended on coming to The Academy in Long Beach for the Gourmet and I Heart Pies event. When I got there, I Heart Pies was already set up outside the shop, and so was Taco Nara, but the guys from Gourmet didn't show up. I heard they got caught up with something and they might make up for their absence with another event later this Summer. I made the best of it and enjoyed the rest of the evening with the great people from The Academy, I Heart Pies, and Taco Nara, who helped me forget why I was even there in the first place.
The Academy is a great shop. The decor, displays, and products they carry set them apart from the wave of boutiques and specialty stores popping up everywhere. Instead of strictly focusing on menswear, they also sell a broad range of clothing, shoes, and accessories for women. This new location hasn't been around too long, but the three brothers who run The Academy have been in business for the last seven years. Based on what I've seen from these guys so far, they're going to be in business for a very long time!
Visit The Academy next time you're in Long Beach and tell them I sent you!

No comparisons to In-N-Out here. Five Guys Burgers and Fries stands on its own. I've eaten here twice so far and enjoyed it both times. The wide range of toppings available for their burgers is definitely a plus. It can get a little pricey for a burger joint, but you can get free peanuts while you wait for your food. C'mon, everyone loves free peanuts! Try it for yourself, but leave the expectations and popular-burger-chain comparisons at the door.
Last Saturday a couple of friends and I went hiking in the hills above Rancho Cucamonga. I can't believe this is only a few minutes away from where I live.

The Common on Valencia Street in the Mission District is one of the most unique stores I've ever visited. I stumbled upon it on my way to Benny Gold's new shop and, to say the least, I was pleasantly surprised with what I found there. They carry a nice selection of brands and products, all of which are of the utmost quality and are made in the USA. Some of the brands you'll find at The Common are: Grown & Sewn, Yuketen, Tellason Denim, Red Wing Heritage, and their in-house brand Taylor Stitch. Taylor Stitch offers a thoughtfully crafted ready-to-wear collection and custom tailored shirts for those who enjoy the exclusivity of wearing something that's one-of-a-kind. If you're a fan of quality menswear, or quality products and design in general, definitely visit The Common next time you're in San Francisco. Tell them I sent you!

Our first meal in San Francisco was in the Civic Center at Brenda's on Polk St. With roots in New Orleans, Brenda's serves French-style Creole dishes with New Orleans soul! The menu consists of traditional Creole favorites and a few signature items, like their Sweet Watermelon House Tea that I had to try! A local favorite is their stuffed beignets, which I didn't get to try because, well, we were too full after our meal! I won't pass them up next time I'm in the city! Anytime you're in San Francisco, I highly suggest stopping by Brenda's French Soul Food for a unique and enjoyable dining experience. It gets pretty busy(and now I know why), so if you're planning to visit Brenda's, plan ahead!
I started my meal with their Sweet Watermelon House Tea, which was great and pretty surprising. They actually put pieces of watermelon in the tea! The dish I ordered was the Hangtown Fry - crispy oysters, bacon (none for me!), and scallions scramble - served with grits or hash and a fresh cream biscuit or toast. Everything was cooked to perfection. The fried oysters worked really well with the scramble and the spices on the potatoes was a great way to offset the saltiness of the oysters. But the biscuit… I would drive back to San Francisco just to eat more of their biscuits!
Brenda's - thank you for an amazing meal!

Calling this trip "impromptu" would be an understatement, but we made it happen. One week before finals we decided to drive up to San Francisco for a couple days. No big plans, just a quick getaway from the norm. With no sleep, a family pack of assorted granola bars, canned iced coffee, bottled water, and an endless amount of music, we got on the 5 North, 427 miles away from our destination.

Remember Me?
Will stay on my board for a long time.
Ease Of Use
First thing to note: have a decent clean sound, and when you plug this thing up it will sound good. It is really easy to get a good sound out of. Really, there are only 3 knobs (the fourth is volume). For the ease of use, I give this thing a 5. It is extremely easy to set up, use, and get some cool sounds.
I have run this only through my schecter c-1 elite into 2 amps: a solidstate 65W Crate RFX, and a jet city 20 watt head. I kept the volume relatively low on the crate and it sounded pretty good...but where it really shone through was with the Jet City. I run the Jet City through my Mesa 2x12 recto cab, and I thought it sounded pretty good even before I plugged the pedal in. So I go to church (where the amp is at) and plug the pedal up. By the way, I've found that it sounds best to run the BB Preamp on a clean setting. So when plugged up, maaaan this thing sounded good. This pedal to me sounds very much like a Vox gain stage. It's kind of hard to explain, but its a very creamy, smooth sound. Compared to the Jet City's gain, this thing smokes it. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much of this pedal, but it could be used as a distortion or an overdrive pedal. It's very versatile and does both well.
One main complaint is that the gain knob isn't very responsive...I say it is responsive up until about noon on the gain...but much more after that just adds compression. Not that it's a bad thing at all, but some people do not like it. I personally have no need to go above about 11 oclock. It can go from a 100% clean boost, to blues, to rock rhythm, to smooth lead tones. Honestly, use it for any of these and you would be in good shape.
This thing is built like a rock. I don't ever plan on it breaking and don't bringing a backup because it is made with sturdy parts.
Customer Support
Never dealt with the company, so, in a sense, I like them! A company that I don't have to really talk to does their job right.
Liked about it
I love the sturdy feel of this pedal, the gain staging is very unique and versatile...and the separate bass and treble knobs can take you from vox to marshall tones. Love it
Didn't like
The pedal could have a wider gain sweep...but I still don't have much problems dialing in the right gain. Other than that there is nothing I would change...Absolutely stellar pedal.

BB Preamp
Ease Of Use
This is unbelievably easy to use. It has 4 knobs; bass, treble, volume and gain, and almost any setting sounds good.
I am currently using an RG550 reissue with Dimarzio Evo2 and Breed Neck pickups, a Laney VC15 tube amp and an Ibanez DE7 delay pedal. I also tested this pedal with a Hagstrom Ultra Swede guitar and a Peavey Valveking halfstack.
Unfortunately, I haven't tried it with a cheap amp, so I'm not sure how it will perform in those scenarios. Both amps I tried it with were medium-budget tube amps. The Laney sounds good even without it, although the drive channel lacks a bit. The Peavey... good but not so much. This is were the BB Preamp comes. Dialing in a bit of gain on the amps and boosting it with the BB Preamp made the Peavey sound great. The pedal should really be labelled as a Tone Booster. It does not change the characteristics of the amplifier, but made it sound ten times better and much more versatile. I didn't try it enough with the Peavey to say more so now I'll move on to the Laney and what it does with that.
As I mentioned, my rig currently consists of a guitar, 2 pedals and a 15 watt tube amp. The tone I get is definitely the best non-recorded guitar tone I have heard in my life. The sound is THE sound I want. With the bass and treble control, along with the amp knobs (treble, mid, bass), it is really easy to find new sounds. The main sound I like to use with this pedal is a Greg Howe-like smooth lead tone. This is my style of playing, and all my equipment are set to do so, so it is not just the pedal that provides the tone. What the pedal did though, is take my sound from an average/good bedroom sound to THE perfect lead tone (for me!).
Another thing worth mentioning is the heavenly blues tones this pedal can get. It sounds so natural, yet so much better than any amp by itself. If you are looking for a boost/overdrive pedal and can afford this, I do not think you can go wrong with this. I will even say this: if you do not like the tone, change the amp or the guitar!
Very reliable. Haven't had any problems with it whatsoever, and I take it with me where ever I go
Liked about it
Everything. It even looks good! But the major thing I like about this, is that now I can get the sound I've always wanted
Didn't like
Maybe price? It's worth every cent but it would be nicer if it was more affordable

I really like you all, and glad you have this idea. Problem: The stats on the amount of gold in the oceans here are incorrect. There is more.
Extracting the gold from most anything is not the problem. (Even in the rare forms that do not even appear to be gold because of the molecular structure and its encapsulation) Finding the gold is. You all seem olde, and intelligent. You know you have gold and want to extract it? There are online video sites. It may take you watching 200 videos, but somewhere there, you will see and understand the method you need. If you don't find it, you did not look hard enough. Period.
Next, we all know the gold is in the seawater, correct? It's the PPT (Parts per Trillion) and processing that vast amount of water that makes it seem less than lucrative. Right?
Here is where people lose faith. They think about the fuel costs, to not only run the boat, but extract the gold etc., etc., etc.
There are many ways, but lets keep it simple. Do any of you know about electroplating gold? Covering a metal object like stainless steel with gold? Well, once you understand how to get gold to "collect" to an object, all you need are a few things. I won't tell you everything; you should know this already,
But you need gold, and to process a lot of water. Of course. And we all know where that is: the ocean. So now, how do you cut expenses to process that much water? Three hints: wind, hydro and solar. All three can be used for free to run the massive amount of water needed through your system to collect the gold (Worry about getting the gold off of your metal plate later; it is not expensive to do)
Not sure how else to say this without just telling you! And if you do not already understand, you did not work hard enough to deserve the answer in the first place.
I've told you enough. The last part is sail for a month. After you have 10 ounces of gold, you just made $13,000 American dollars at the price today, for sailing! If you make more than that to sail on the free wind enjoying the ocean, then cheers!
I hope at least one of you understands. Happy hunting!

Discounting the deadly snakes on the outback cattle station, I should be safe. Until I meet Jack. Jack defines bad boy and then some. He's big, buffed, bronzed, and hotter than any guy I've ever met. His sexy Aussie accent makes me melt. And the guy can cook. But he's my brother's new bestie and he lives on the other side of the world. There's no future for us. Is there?

CycloManiacs Walkthrough in Text
The Dunes
Track 1 Gentle Start: Use the bunny hop at the top of hills to give yourself enough height to complete a somersault to gain boost.
Track 2 Getting Bigger: Practice getting all the height you can off the ramps, or learn to use your radar to judge where the pickups are going to be.
Track 3 Big Drift: Early on in the race, use the big hills to perform multiple summersaults to build up boost multiplier. Later on slow down and hop over the hills or you can use a bunny hop to jump over them.
Track 4 Dried up river bed: The key on this one is using the bunny hop to jump the pebbles in the bed. A bike with good wheelie ability CMR C, spoke or cycle king is a good idea.

A clue or allusion embedded in the narrative that predicts some later event or revelation. It could be a wayward comment or action, an event that doesn't make sense until later, a meaningful name, a rare blood type… so many things can warn us of the future. Good foreshadowing doesn't spoil the surprise, yet seems an obvious clue in retrospect.
(Source: ofswansandsnowflakes)
The thing is that Zelena wants Hook to kiss Emma and take away her magic.
So what's gonna happen is that EMMA is gonna kiss HOOK. And her magic will retain intact. Zelena thinks she's "corrupted" his love for her, but by subverting what it is that SHE wants … it becomes something pure. Zelena…
I love the idea of subverting a curse like this, especially since it gives even more power to Emma's agency.
I've never been female. But I have been black my whole life. I can perhaps offer some insight from that perspective. There are many similar social issues related to access to equal opportunity that we find in the black community, as well as the community of women in a white male dominate society…
When I look at — throughout my life — I've known that I wanted to do astrophysics since I was 9 years old…I got to see how the world around me reacted to my expressions of these ambitions. All I can say is, the fact that I wanted to be a scientist, an astrophysicist was hands down the path of most resistance through the forces of society.
Anytime I expressed this interest, teachers would say, 'Oh, don't you wanna be an athlete?' I want to become someone that was outside of the paradigm of expectations of the people in power. Fortunately, my depth of interest of the universe was so deep and so fuel enriched that everyone of these curve balls that I was thrown, and fences built in front of me, and hills that I had to climb, I just reach for more fuel, and I just kept going.
Now, here I am, one of the most visible scientists in the land, and I wanna look behind me and say, 'Where are the others who might have been this,' and they're not there! …I happened to survive and others did not simply because of forces of society that prevented it at every turn. At every turn.
…My life experience tells me that when you don't find blacks, when you don't find women in the sciences, I know that these forces are real, and I had to survive them in order to get where I am today.
So before we start talking about genetic differences, you gotta come up with a system where there's equal opportunity, then we can have that conversation.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson in response to a question posed by Lawrence Summers, former Treasury Security and Harvard University President
"What's up with chicks and science?"
Are there genetic differences between men and women, explain why more men are in science. (via magnius159)
Regina: Don't touch anything.
Emma: *touches first thing she sees*
Hook: Don't kiss me.
Emma: *kisses the shit out of Hook*
Rage like she's never felt before bursts in her chest. It all makes sense – his distance and callousness, his inability to get within a foot of her without recoiling in shame. Her eyes snap to Zelena and her hand reaches for him, tangling in the charms of his necklace.
They will find…
Now Killian Jones is both.

SCRANTON, Pennsylvania – Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden told his boyhood companions that Barack Obama would have been one of their friends, if he had been around when they were growing up.
"This guy gets it," Biden, 65, said of his 47-year-old running mate, who could become the first black U.S. president.
Biden made the comments on a campaign visit to his childhood home in Scranton, Pennsylvania, a blue collar city in a state central to his and Obama's run for the White House. He described his old and predominately white neighborhood, known as Green Ridge, as a patriotic place where a person's word was his bond and people stood up for what they believed in.
"I promise you. If Barack had been born here, he would have been our friend," said Biden, a U.S. senator from Delaware since 1973. "He'd cover your back."
Under blue skies and a bright sun, Biden sat in the shade of a big tree in his old backyard with his mother, Jean, 90, and scores of old friends and neighbors and supporters. He quoted his late father, Joseph, a former car salesman, as saying, "the measure of success is not whether you get knocked down. It is how quickly you get up."

Deniers-in-Chief: How the Most Powerful Leaders in the World Just Guaranteed Us a Climate Disaster
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The following article first appeared on the Web site of the Nation. For more great content from the Nation, sign up for its email newsletters.
A different and more dangerous breed of climate denier commanded the stage at the recently concluded international negotiations in Durban, South Africa. These were not the usual cranks blathering fossil-fuel-industry talking points about how the science is all rubbish aimed at fostering a liberty-crushing world government. No, this breed is even more frightening, precisely because its members are not wacko outsiders. Rather, they are Serious People who actually run governments, or at least negotiate on behalf of those who do. They are lawyers, diplomats and government ministers, and they would be very surprised to hear themselves described as climate deniers.
After all, men such as Todd Stern and Jonathan Pershing, the top two US negotiators in Durban, and Xie Zhenhua, who headed China's delegation, understand the basics of climate science well enough. They know that burning fossil fuels, leveling forests and other types of human activity are dangerously overheating the planet. They know that far-reaching action must be taken if their countries and humanity as a whole are to escape encroaching disaster. They even know--for they explicitly endorsed it at the last round of major climate negotiations in Copenhagen two years ago--that 2 degrees Celsius is the absolute maximum temperature rise that can be allowed if there is to be any chance of avoiding catastrophic and potentially irreversible climate change.
Yet these negotiators just made a deal in Durban that has zero chance of meeting the 2C target. In fact, the Durban deal--if left unchanged--guarantees that we will fail to reach that goal. Given that scientists are warning that the planet is already committed to a "dangerous" amount of climate change, and that crossing the 2C target will bring "extremely dangerous" climate change, what else can the Durban agreement be called but a de facto denial of climate science?
Because the decisions these negotiators--and their bosses in Washington, Beijing and other world capitals--made in Durban carry such immense consequences, and because they reflect the will of the most powerful governments on earth, the negotiators have earned themselves the title Climate Deniers in Chief. Knowingly or not, they have handed down a death sentence, especially to the billions of young people around the world who were already fated to spend the rest of their lives coping with the hottest, most volatile climate our civilization has ever experienced.
For the sake of these young people, for the sake of humanity and the countless species with whom we share this planet, the Durban agreement cannot stand. It must be rejected by citizens and superseded by the actions of state and local governments and visionary entrepreneurs throughout the world, where encouraging progress is being made, usually outside mainstream media's attention span. Beyond that, the Durban agreement must be radically strengthened through follow-up negotiations in the near future--meaning within months, not years.
Indeed, waiting years to require action is the fundamental failure of the Durban agreement: it delays obligatory cuts in greenhouse gas emissions until 2020. Absurdly, it delays even signing an agreement about such cuts until 2015. It also says nothing about how large the cuts should be--no small omission, considering that global emissions increased by a record amount in 2010, putting the planet on a trajectory toward a hellish 6C temperature rise by 2100. Yet timing remains the key poison pill. Allowing business as usual until 2020 will make it economically prohibitive, if not physically impossible, to keep temperature rise to 2C, the International Energy Agency recently warned. Likewise, leading scientists have been saying since before Copenhagen that emissions must start declining no later than 2015 if there is to be much chance of hitting the 2C target. And yes, five years of delay makes a critical difference. The inertia of the climate system--including the fact that carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere for centuries--means that the earth is already locked in to 1.4 degrees of temperature rise. With temperatures rising by approximately 0.2C per decade, there is simply no room for delay if we wish to preserve a planet similar to the one in which our civilization has developed over the past 10,000 years.

In a surprise move, Microsoft Corp has pre-announced the pricing details of its Windows 2000 operating system, the first time it has gone public with this information before its software hits the market. Windows 2000, which is expected to ship on February 17 next year, appears to have been priced to lure users of Microsoft's Windows 95 and 98 systems onto the new business platform. Pricing will be broadly similar to that of the operating system's predecessor, NT4. Windows 2000 Professional will sell for $319. An upgrade from Windows NT will cost $149. The difference is that Microsoft is now offering a path for consumers to upgrade from Windows 95/98 for $219, previously users would have had to move NT outright. Encouraging users onto Windows 2000 could be a potential revenue driver MS that makes higher margins from its business operating systems than from its consumer offerings.

OCZ IBIS Introduces High Speed Data Link SSDs
CmdrTaco posted more than 4 years ago | from the zoom-zoom-zoom dept.76
Vigile writes "New solid state drives are released all the time, and the performance improvements on them have started to stagnate as the limits of the SATA 3.0 Gb/s are reached. SATA 6G drives are still coming out and some newer PCI Express based drives are also available for those users with a higher budget. OCZ is taking it another step with a new storage interface called High Speed Data Link (HSDL) that extends the PCI Express bus via mini-SAS cables and removes the bottleneck of SATA-based RAID controllers thus increasing theoretical performance and allowing the use of command queueing — vital to high IO's in a RAID configuration. PC Perspective has a full performance review that details the speed and IO improvements and while initial versions will be available at up to 960 GB (and a $2800 price tag), in reality, the cost-per-GB is competitive with other high-end SSDs when you get to the 240GB and above options"

Meet Gunnar Deatherage, "Project Runway" Season 9 designer. See a portfolio of past work, as well as videos, photos and more.
Gunnar DeatherageAge 21, Louisville, KY - Out Episode 1
Who's Your Fan Favorite?
Voted for #PR9gunnar
Is Gunnar
In or Out?
In or Out?
Q&A : Gunnar's TAKE
QWhat was the first garment you ever made? AA very simple dress for my younger cousin. We would put on performances and make our family sit down to watch us.
QWhat's playing on your iPod when you're designing? AThe Knife, Portishead or Santigold radios on Pandora. I'm all about Swedish techno.
QWhen did you realize you had designer potential? AIn high school. I really loved the feeling of just creating, and when people started to want the things I was creating, my gears started ticking.
QFavorite designer(s)? ARodarte, for sure. How fantastic that two sisters who were completely self-taught, and were the weird kids growing up, grew up to blossom into a fashion revolution
QCurrent occupation? AHairstylist for Aveda.
QCan you describe past jobs you've had? ACreative directing, and serving.
QWhat is a fashion must? ALipstick, lipstick, lipstick. All women should wear it.
QWhat is your design training? AI'm completely self-taught. I started with using patterns, and when I couldn't find what I wanted, I started to drape and make my own.
QHave you won any awards related to design? ACenter Ambassador dress, for the 2011 Julep Ball for the Kentucky Derby. Such an honor!
QWhat are your strengths as a designer? AColor. With my background in beauty, I understand what tones do what for different shapes and skin tones.
QWhat are your weaknesses as a designer? AI would say my weakness is menswear. I am not really a fan; I feel that menswear has a lot more restrictions than women's wear.
QWhat's influenced your designs over the years? AIn the past, the wow factor, the dress that stops the show. Now my aesthetic is more about asking, what can a woman wear out, and feel completely confident in?
QWhat's your favorite material or fabric to work with? ALeather, baby! But I use a lot of silk. It takes a certain person to wear a lot of leather, so I don't end up using much of it.
QWhat's the item you're most proud of designing? AThe pieces I can't let go of. There are certain outfits I make that my heart and soul went into, and I cannot bear to part with them.
QDo you prefer sketching or draping? ADrape!
QDo you prefer patterns or solids? ASolids ... why use a pattern when you can turn a solid into a textural pattern on your own?
QWhat are your favorite colors? ABlack, gray and white. Bland, I know, but if your personality shines, your clothing should just frame it.
QWhat's your biggest fear as a designer? ASending a dress I didn't believe in down a runway.
QWhat's the ugliest thing you've ever worn? AI insisted on this turtleneck sweater in high school. Why, I have no clue, but at the time it felt nice.
QWho are your favorite style icons? AAs cliche as it is for a gay male to say Lady Gaga, I have to hand it to her. She has opened the door to pure creativity.
QIf you designed for the first lady, what would you design for her? AA nice skirt suit. She is so elegant, she needs something to show what a class act she truly is.
QWhat celebrity would you like to design for? ANicole Kidman. The woman has her own shape, haha. I would kill to design for her.
QWho's your supermodel muse? AStella Tennant. She is a dream.
QWhat do you look for in a model? AI like the odd features, big eyes or big mouths, and a harsh eyebrow. It all boils down to who is going to fit into the story I have created for this collection.
QIf you weren't designing, you'd be . . . APerforming, or doing hair. Both are loves of my life, but designing just takes the front seat.
QDream place to set up your design business? ALondon, the birthplace of all things new and original.
QWebsites that feature your work, including your own site(s)? AFacebook, Tumblr, deatheragedesigns.com
QAny other cultures or places you wish you could design for? AI am obsessed with the Scandinavian culture, so pristine and pure in their heritage. They have a beautiful history and a blooming fashion field.
QHow were you described as a kid? AShy and fairly introverted. Growing up in a small town, being different is never easy. I held my emotions and creativity in a lot.
QHow are you described now? AThey would say I'm bubbly and the catalyst to all things progressive. I push my loved ones to further themselves. If I can inspire them, I'm doing something right.
QCan you describe your family? AAbsolutely hilarious! The largest group of loving people. Nobody is ever judged, and everyone is accepted. When you say support system, we're the poster family.
QMarriage or kids? ASingle, no kids.
QDo you have any nicknames? AGunn, majority because of the unnatural harsh words that combine to make my name, haha.
QWhy are you (or aren't you) easy to live with? AI'm very laid-back. I don't see a reason to make a fuss over something that isn't a big deal in the long run ... you must pick your battles.
QWhat's your favorite hangout back home? AMy rooftop or the local coffee shop. I could spend hours in either.
QWhat are your hobbies besides designing? APhoto shoots, dancing in my car, long walks, late-night running, and stargazing ... I'm a tree hugger at heart.
QWhat are your favorite movies and TV shows? AI can't help but love Glee. I was myself a show-choir kid, so it brings back memories.
QWhat are your favorite books and authors? AEdgar Allen Poe. As morbid as he can be, the man was a genius in portraying his creativity.
QWhat are your favorite websites? Alookbook.nu and stumbleupon. If I sit down to enjoy either, it's a challenge to get back up.
QiPhone, Android or BlackBerry? AiPhone.
QFast food or gourmet? AFast food; it's cheap and easy. I'd rather spend my money on fabric or shoes.
QCooking or takeout? ACooking. Cooking a nice meal with friends or loved ones is such a nice way to show appreciation.
QFavorite food? AIndian food. I cannot get enough of it.
QBeer or wine? AWine, keep it classy.
QGuiltiest pleasure? AI like Twilight. There is something so endearing about the ideas of hot vampires whisking you away.
QBiggest pet peeve? ANo self-confidence. Believe in you; if you don't, nobody will.
QFavorite designer from past seasons of Project Runway? ADaniel Vosovic. He was, wow, amazing.
QProject Runway challenge you hope they bring back for your season? AThe mom challenge. How much fun would that be, to share that experience with my best friend?
QProject Runway challenge you hope they don't bring back for your season? AThe car challenge ... not that I couldn't do it, but there's only so much you can do with old upholstery and seatbelts.
QYour take on team challenges ... love them or hate them? AI'm indifferent. I'll do them, but I'm a leader, so they could be interesting.
QHow did you end up auditioning for Project Runway? AOn a whim, I decided to send in my portfolio. Two weeks later I was a semifinalist, and three weeks later I was off to NYC! This was my first time ever auditioning.
QWhy do you think you will win Project Runway? AI think I stand as good a chance as anyone. I give everything my all, and if it is supposed to happen, it will.

Apache Thrift
Thrift is an interface definition language and binary communication protocol that is used to define and create services for numerous languages. It is used as a remote procedure call framework and was developed at Facebook for "scalable cross-language services development". It combines a software stack with a code generation engine to build services that work efficiently to a varying degree and seamlessly between C#, C++, Cappuccino, Cocoa, Delphi, Erlang, Go, Haskell, Java, Node.js, OCaml, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby and Smalltalk. Although developed at Facebook, it is now an open source project in the Apache Software Foundation. The implementation was described in an April 2007 technical paper released by Facebook, now hosted on Apache.

For Politico Magazine, I wrote about the State Department's Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications and how social media is seen as a new battleground between jihadist and western government propaganda.
In the latest issue of The Baffler, I wrote about Processed World, a now-defunct Bay Area magazine that responded to an earlier wave of tech-driven gentrification. PW had a lot of smart things to say about work and its discontents, the computerization of the workplace, and a host of issues — corporate power, income inequality, unacknowledged forms of labr — that still matter today. If you want to read back issues of PW, try the Internet Archive or Bad Attitude, an anthology of the mag's early years.
A kid walked by and knocked over the walking stick of the man sitting next to me. I picked up the stick, returned it to his place, and the man thanked me. "I'm not totally blind," he said, almost cheerfully, like it's information he's just happy to be able to convey. "Only legally blind."
Okay, I said. When I sat down I had seen him hunched over, staring deep into an iPhone, the rectangle nearly touching his face.
He started working at a quart of ice cream he'd produced from a plastic bag. He fumbled with it a little but got on top of it, opened it up, and soon was digging at it with his spoon.
His right eye was closed, and around the eye, on his right temple and cheek, was discolored skin, looking like some liquid burned him, forming a puddle that wouldn't wash off. But I don't know about this sort of thing. I wondered if he's a veteran — he might be 30 — and about IEDs. For some reason I thought of "splash damage," a video game term.
After a few minutes he turned to me and asked, "If my grandmother has dementia, and my uncle has power of attorney" — a train started coming into the station, and suddenly he began to talk much louder — "and if he signs the deed over to someone else, is that legally binding?"
I told him yes, I think so. He nodded like he already knew that, and we stepped, almost in unison, onto the train.
There's an emergent feeling, at least among the people I talk to, that Twitter has become too much of an ordeal, a Kabuki theater of outrage, radical posturing, and other well-worn, performative acts that we know all too well. Unlike Kabuki, there's little pleasure in the costumes and gestures and pageantry. They've become too familiar, not to mention threadbare. The culture's strictures have crowded out room for play, much less dissent or refusal to participate. (The journalist who isn't on Twitter is either an elder statesman or playing some other kind of game.)
Perhaps you're familiar with this argument — all of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again, etc. But I do wonder if there's some point at which Media Twitter will eat itself, when the gravity well turns into a black hole. It'll be a time when we acknowledge that most of us are acting out the same bitter tropes, that we expend such intense, passionate focus on items that won't be remembered in a day or two, and that, in the final analysis, it's tiring. The jockeying for attention — a currency more valuable and ephemeral than peak-Bitcoin — is demeaning and can't be rescued by meta humor or conventional irony.
You can still "do well" on Twitter if you want. Undoubtedly there are people who find voices or avenues of expression there who otherwise might struggle for a foothold or be shut out entirely. But it's impossible to gain any security or to "win" at Twitter, despite the Internet parlance. Visibility requires constant maintenance, vigilance even. You can be more on point, funnier, more tied into the news cycle, a better curator, more radical, more aggrieved, but you will inevitably be usurped by someone who has judged you not angry/outraged/radical/sharp enough. They flank from the left, propelled by the confidence of youth.
In some circles now, the most effective rhetorical act is to accuse someone else of bad faith or hypocrisy (perhaps by digging up a year-old tweet and trying to re-contextualize it for the debate of the day). These are extraordinarily effective moves because they're easy and cheap and difficult to counter. To reply that an accusation of bad faith is itself in bad faith — a disingenuous bit of sleight-of-hand designed to mask its own empty meaning — seems like a grown-up version of "I know what you are but what am I?" How can you debate someone like this? Why would you bother? And yet these petty skirmishes have been mistaken for sincere political engagement. They are how reputations are made.
The problem, at its root, might be that Twitter actually matters too much to journalists and media outlets right now, along with anyone who aspires to be part of this world ("community" is too kind a term). It's too central to how news is crafted and distributed and, more personally and immediately, how we craft and distribute ourselves — our public identities, our relationships, our incessant-but-seemingly-essential attempts at self-promotion and advancement. We must insert ourselves into the morass, we must relentlessly personalize everything, or else we risk being overlooked. Particularly in a time of precarity, when if you aren't one of the legions of poverty-wage freelancers then you are likely on the lookout for your next job (everyone wants to be poached!), you are always selling. You have to: the benefits are meager but they're real. We've all watched the banal spectacle of a mediocre writer noisily tweeting his way into a staff job through a steady output of congratulatory messages, judicious retweets, unearned hyperbole (best lede ever! best correction ever!), and savvy cultivation of his betters. It's a strange alchemy — the ingredients themselves are poisonous, they'll hollow you out — but the recipe is known.
Attention and connections have always been powerful tools for a journalist; it's just more enervating to see them collected in the always-on Twittersphere rather than at the occasional book or cocktail party. Sure, it's never been only about the work. But I wonder if it's ever been less about the work than it is now.
For The New Republic, I dreamed up, in the paranoid style, some worst-case scenarios for Google's robotics projects.
I interviewed Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Philip Schultz about The Wherewithal, his new novel in verse. Topics discussed: the Shoah, Vietnam, being down and out in 1967 San Francisco, welfare, the poor as a minority, the specter of the Zodiac killer, failure, and using Wittgenstein as armor. Read it here.
For the latest issue of Pacific Standard, I wrote about big data, "culturomics," Google Ngram Viewer, and the new book Uncharted: Big Data as a Lens on Human Culture. The review is here and in the print edition of the mag.
Over at Al Jazeera America, I wrote about the data trade, how data brokers manipulate consumer information, corporate surveillance, and the need to regulate data brokers.

"Networking into the Abyss," my article about SXSW Interactive and Silicon Valley techno-utopianism, is now up at The Baffler (it came out in print in the magazine's summer issue). In it, I try to go beyond the conventional complaints about commercialism and shameless networking to get at why SXSW is so pernicious, particularly in its fusion of masculinist corporatism and cyber-libertarianism. Besides being the tech industry's preeminent festival of ideas, SXSW is in many ways a microcosm of Silicon Valley itself. Once a bastion of DIY, indie culture (it began as a small music festival), it's since wholly given itself over to inflated myths of the glories of entrepreneurship, "disruption," and the world-changing capabilities of the latest wearable gadget. Like Steve Jobs, it put away its drugs and learned how to marry corporate success and ruthless business acumen with vague nods towards the counterculture. (The recent influx of tech-industry moguls into Burning Man is the latest iteration of this phenomenon.)
And while the products and companies celebrated at SXSW often have important political and social consequences, the festival and its attendees present themselves as stylishly apolitical. That helps them to maintain a certain purity of purpose, an irrational self-belief, in the sense now common to Silicon Valley, that what they are doing is inherently important, that one can "save the world" by building a "great" company — even if it's just a company that, like so many of its peers, collects user data en masse and sells it to advertisers. This is where libertarianism comes in, disguising itself as insouciant rebelliousness. "The traditional rules don't apply to us," these technological elites tell one another. Except they're not doing graffiti or playing folk songs or marching in the streets; they're ignoring workers' rights and municipal regulations, because Uber is just that cool and the sharing economy should be brought to everyone.
SXSW has changed Austin, its longtime home, a great deal. It's now by far the biggest event in the city and a year-round operation, with festivals about education, music, film, the environment, and venture capital (that one, naturally, held in Las Vegas). During April, when most of SXSW's events take place, downtown Austin resembles a privatized company town, a series of fiefdoms apportioned between Pepsi, Google, Samsung, and Doritos.
After my article went to press, SXSW announced a new sports festival, SXsports, to be held next year. Its metastasis is nearing stage four. It's become a perpetual motion machine, growing because it has to, because the money and celebrities and corporate sponsorships (which are truly as insane and lavish and tone-deaf as you have heard) have become their own self-sustaining machine. But when so many people are getting rich and there's such good feeling in the air, who's to tell them to stop?

A step forward in gaiter design. The Duo features bi-material construction with 450 denier micro ripstop nylon on the top half and burly 1000 denier Cordura on the bottom to protection against crampon points, branches and rocks. The innovative Fast-Fit system features a plastic coated cable that locks in a wedge on the side. It can be loosened completely to make attachment easy, then tightens with a simple pull. The slim fit is great for ice climbing and mountaineering where bulky gaiters have a way of catching crampon points. The top closure is fixed with a sturdy nylon strap to prevent sagging. Taped seams and the sturdy lacing hook keep snow out throughout the day.

With the recent retirement of the great Ladainian Tomlinson, it seems natural to look around the league and look for other aging, ringless, pro bowl caliber veterans. LT now joins an unlucky fraternity that includes the likes of Dan Marino, Warren Moon, and Jim Kelly. No one would ever question the incredible talent Tomlinson possessed but he will be remembered by many as one of the greatest players to never win a Super Bowl. Despite LT's misfortune of never making it over that final hurdle he remained a class act, returning to the organization that drafted him, and retiring proudly as a Charger.
While I'm sure most of us will safely assume the Miami Dolphins will not be winning it all this coming season, I do question the future and legacy of one of their players. If you have a look at the Bengals franchise record book you will see that almost every Bengals receiving record is held by one Chad Javon Johnson. Or um Ochocinco… Regardless of what you call him or how you feel about him, Chad's accomplishments while a Bengal speak for themselves. Obviously Chad didn't let them, but that was part of his appeal.
