We take a look at the hottest new trends of 2014 to watch out for.
Big pants
Another year, another raft of articles proclaiming the death of the skinny jean. Don't believe them: tight pants are here to stay, but 2014 will see plenty more wide leg trousers hitting the stores and the streets. Look to brands like Chloé and BCBG Max Azria for luxe eveningwear options. Additional tuxedo stripes down the side add a flash of detail and help break up the big shapes.
Big skirts
Sitting somewhere between maxi and midi skirts, big skirts can be worn with arm-baring tops for a slightly retro '50s look, or appear with pleats as seen in Proenza Schouler's stunning and very modern metallic skirts. Tea length dresses also play around with this proportion.
Mesh and lace
Appearing everywhere as usual over the past few seasons, lace has been given a new more modern twist for 2014 with colored mesh inserts and architectural overlays. Raf Simons at Christian Dior and Christopher Kane both sent out good examples of how to freshen up the look.
At Burberry, Christopher Bailey made pastels the core of his collection. Soft, never sickly sweet, baby blues and pale pinks and violets work well in ultramodern fabric looks like neoprene as well as more traditional wools and laces. Prabal Gurung and Jason Wu also nailed the all-over pastel look in tailoring and dresses.

The point was that trying to apply the "moé" label to a josei manga makes no sense. That being said, in my experience josei is by far the least retarded demographic. (Yes, least retarded. Unfortunately not even I can really generalize it to "shounen is bad"; every demographic contains pretty much 90% bad (Sturgeon's Law), it's just that josei tends to have the least amount of pure retardedness.)

Kannagi had some stand out animation, especially contributions from Hiroki Tanaka, and Seiya Numata. Seiya Numata was animation director for episode 2, and contributed key animation as well. That episode was superbly animated. Hiroko Tanaka is another well-known animator who also one of many excellent animators pulled together under the joint Ordet and A-1 Pictures work on Black Rock Shooter. Granted, Hiroki Tanaka is freelance, but the fact is that Yamakan is able to gather some coveted animators for his projects, and his co-founded studio, Ordet has some talented members. Yamakan is also an accomplished episode director. His work on Haruhi and Kannagi was really good on a technical and creative level, and Kannagi showed that he has what it takes to be a series director (contrary to KyoAni's assessment). He's an outspoken director who can really bring a lot to an anime - not many episode directors have become famous for their dance choreography, after all! Also, if you've ever read any of his interviews, you'll see that he isn't all about otaku-pandering at all. If this series fails, you'll be happy because he announced that he'll retire from anime if that happens. He'll probably just keep going with his live-action directing career XD And for the record, So-ra-no-wo-to also had good animation, with a high number of drawings per episode. Unless you're making the basic mistake of confusing art and animation, you'll recognise this. I didn't watch Senkou no Night Raid, but episode 1 featured a really well-executed action sequence. Also Birdy the Mighty Decode is broadly recognised as a good example of a 'sakuga' anime by animation fans. Season 2 had some seriously amazing animation work, especially Hiroki Tanaka's stuff. And don't forget that an animation studio doesn't neccesarily imply how something will turn out, they are an ANIMATION studio (although there are exceptions). If A-1 Pictures is given a good original series to work on, there's no reason to say it'll be otaku-pandering, and there's a high chance it will be well-animated. But I'll agree that Mari Okada's involvement isn't too inspiring. In future, if you want to dissmiss something offhand, that's fine, but don't jump on someone who disagrees.

TheFluff, if you have nothing to say about the show itself, I suggest you create a thread in the General Anime section so you can rant all you want about "moé".
I would appreciate it, some people would appreciate it, if you don't continue the flame-bait/troll-bait, which is leading to nothing more than a rather silly, pointless and off-topic "discussion". to everyone else still thinking in replying to his posts, either ignore him or pester him through PM's. |

probably not something you would expect after looking at the concept illustration.
I have liked a similar style in the past, so it's fine for me. good things to say: it's a bit minimalistic but does a great job addressing form/space (and foreshortening); and you can easily tell each of the characters apart. I imagine the colors are going to be much brighter than the scan. oh and also liked the fact it's addressing the pupil of the eye. |

HOLY SHIT, how did I miss that part?!?!?!
Rest of the staff be damned, this is the only part that's needed for me to watch this. Uso-tsuki Mii-kun to Kowareta Maa-chan and Tamako-san to Kashiwa-kun both have REALLLLLYYYY awesome character design (especially Tamako to Kashiwa, which has an awesomeeee volume 1 cover). After briefly browsing the website (which I thought the characters look a ton better than that mag scan) I'm definitely in. Regardless, I have good faith in this until proven otherwise when the show airs. |

Hey, good news! There's a manga that's going to start before the anime airing. You can read chapter 1 at GanGanOnline.
Hell, if you don't understand Japanese (like me!), you might as well read it anyway. Art is much better than the mag scan posts earlier. Too bad the official website kinda spoiled part of the story, but hell Furyune looks , Kurein/Kurin doesn't look half bad either. |

You guys do know that Yamakan said he will even risk retirement when this anime fails. Since Yamakan himself is putting too much hype on it, I'm slightly worried. What if it REALLY fails? This might be his final farewell.

Where did you take these informations from, especially the 40% stuff about their staff? Also activision-blizzard bought itself free from VIVENDI not blizzard from activision. Furthermore, where is aquamonkey when you need him? I want the link to the blue post(s) that says all the stuff you talk about.
Edit: Because of a serious case of horrid engrish, and the senteces are still wonky, sry.

Submission + - Mario Gets a Portal Gun in New Indie Game (techzwn.com)
jjp9999 writes: Mario is armed with a portal gun in an indie game currently in development. It will be released for free and will include simultaneously multiplayer mode and downloadable map packs. The developer posted a video of the game in action on their website, showing the first level of the NES version of Mario, as he zaps portals around the map, dropping enemies down pits, shooting turtle shells through them at unexacting Goombas, and using the Portal-style high jump to launch himself. According to the developers, the game is not a mod, and is instead coded with Löve 'so we don't get stabbed by lawyers.' They state they will release the source code for the game after its release, there will be a level editor embedded in the game, and there will also be some maps with 'portly puzzles.'

Good to see everyone and thanks for the welcome back guys!
I knew that Vic would be after me about that Corsair.......lol. All that is left to do on it is find the right balsa sealer and do the final sandings, then either paint and apply the decals or cover and apply them. As far as heat and motivation go..........I hear ya. Another long day of work ahead and will be around a little more tonite. Last nite was the episode of Deadliest Catch that I just couldn't miss, how many of ya guys watched it? __________________________________________________ ___________________________________ Of all the things I ever lost....................................... I miss my mind the most! |
True cost: Any idea ?
I've been offered what is described as a Great Opportunity :
T-REX 600 electric with the very TOP components available DX-7 SE system. all installed, brings the highest possible charger system (I forget specs.!) professionally assembled and test flown for delivery to customer. Customer puts on ONE HOVERING FLIGHT and becomes very ill (Diabetes) so the heli gets put on sale due to $$ situation lack of money + urgency. ALL INCLUSIVE SYSTEM, TOP BLADES BRAND, guaranteed perfect condition PRICE: $ 1200 is this really a good buy ? RICK p.s. the LHS offered me, a year ago, a TREX 500 ready to fly for: $ 1500 which of course I did not take |
Heres some current prices on 500,550,600 trex's.. various component groups.. click the add to cart button when map price is given to see discounted price. All will qaulify for an additional $25.00 off coupon as well. I sold my trex 600e for $420.00 shipped with 401 gyro and high grade tail servo,torque tube upgrade,align esc and motor,bec unit,carbon blade etc. Used but never crashed and in very good condition. Lots of options but if your really looking for a rtf 600e test flown and trimmed some of the heli only online shops offer that service for a fee.. the local shop here does that as well. A link to the heli or more info would be helpful,the more heli orientated guys could give it a good look over and price out the whole set up to see what it would run new with all the same equipment.
It sounds a little high, but without knowing some of the specifics it's hard to price it out. With only one flight, it's like new. The DX7 SE new is about $299. You mentioned "highest possible charger system", so, I'd put a price of about $150 on that. I'm guessing that it would come with at least one flight battery and one RX battery. The flight battery, minimal requirement, would be a 6S 5,000 mAh 25C for sport flying. I sold my Trex 600 ESP, 2 months ago for about $700, minus the TX, RX, and battery charger. If you could give us anymore details we'd love to help ya out. Tener cuidado, Dave |
DREAM OF "600" went POOF !
as it turns out, the retirement funds handler, when asked for $1200.00 NIXED it outright, explaining clearly that as a retiree and advances taken so far, if taken again would PUT ME IN A HIGHER TAX BRACKET for 2011.
It's bad enough already so I put the 600 in the broken dreams box. Maybe the wisdom of Mr. VIC continues to protect me so spending this amount would be EXTREMELY HIGH COST and as an olde phartte I need to COOL it. p.s. it's not as if I don't have ANY helicopters, right ? besides, if the CHOPPERS sold his 600 there must be some solid reason RICK pp.ss.. I just took out the E-SKY BELT CP v.2 to fly after the "adjustement" job I made and it is ANOTHER PERFECT FLYER....! THANKS VIC |
Rick- Maybe better you didn't jump on it. Uncle Same wants too much from us the way it is! Hoping you can get some video for us soon. Haven't seen anything new from ya in awhile.
Randy- Hope Liz is doing OK after losing her brother in law. Tell her we sens our best to her and the family. Jim |

Another long day of work ahead and will be around a little more tonite. Last nite was the episode of Deadliest Catch that I just couldn't miss, how many of ya guys watched it? Arrow, I did watch the Deadliest Catch often, and was sad to hear that, Captain Phil Harris has passed away. An amazing series to say the least. Dave |
The main reason I sold my Trex 600 was, I was afraid to crash it. A "Good" set of main blades is about 100 bucks, others about 50 bucks. There was nothing wrong at all with the heli whatsoever. I've cut back on the helis for now, my fleet is small. I have a Trex 500 and a HK450Pro TT. Dave |
Rick....get the cobb webbs off that pile of helicopters and fly 'em. Glad you got the CPv2 going. I can tell you it was a MONSTER to set up with that crappy stock radio. Once I got it dialed in, it wasn't bad at all and I preferred flying it it idle up instead of normal mode. To find a perfect balance between normal mode head speed and idleup head speed, it was virtually IMPOSSIBLE. So what I did was to dial in the idle up so it was good, and the normal mode was a little on the sluggish side...had to be done that way because of limits using a stock radio and the mechanical setup. I got it as close as physically possible, and it flew exceptionally well in idleup and IS capable of inverted flight and 3D in the right hands.

Hi guys
Here are my ideas so far regarding a DIY heli project TX/RX - HK or Turnigy set from HK.. price is too hard to knock back for me Servo - A couple of $3-4 servos (prob from HK again) ESC - Again, a cheap ESC from HK BEC - HK cheapie (if required.. not sure yet) Gyro - HK 401B Motor - Rewound CD motor (Brushless) Frame - DIY Head - DIY Swash - DIY Blades - DIY Tail boom - DIY (probably aluminium tubing) Tail Rotor - DIY Tail Drive - Not sure whether to go belt or motor driven at this stage. So basically, the electronics will be cheap stuff from HK with combined total cost of around US$100 including 9-Channel TX. Diy parts will be fabricated from fibreglass plate at around 1-1.5mm thickness. Most parts will be CA'd first then epoxied for strength. Frame designs still being worked on but approximate size will be 350-400mm rotor diameter and 150-200g total weight. Initial model will be fixed pitch with large skid footprint and low COG to make it beginner friendly. I have it in mind that it will be able to be assembled and flown by someone who hasnt flown before (someone like me :P). Any thoughts and comments welcome... help is always appreciated Cheers Jay |
E-SKY BELT CP v.2VIC: good morning, ( THU 7/15/10 6.00 am ) what you write is exactly correct. However, the hit this heli must have taken coming from Michigan to Texas must have been something ELSE because the boom was OFF (the only part I was able to fix myself) and the belt was so loose around the internal gear that it hardly pulled the tail rotor around. Then the rudder servo was out of alignement also and I was not able to figure out how to center the servo arm with the actuator in the back. So it went to the recently found LHS expert fixer/upper. worked up and found that the GYRO was hanging from a thread and although apparently connected to the frame was dancing around under power... anyway : here I brought it back to the house and remembering your report about running it simple ( not Idle-up ) I did it like that and it works very very well. Will try the Idle-up setting next time it's taken out. I am doing very well with the helis. Hoping to get more to practice and FLY THEM ALL. Sent the MD530 INNOVATOR back to California and that one remains to be heard from don't really know what they plan to return. I mentioned If they won't fix permanently I want a return of the total price. The INNOVATOR EXP is actually flying perfect and is SO centered it holds hands off for several seconds. the FP WALKERA is also doing very well (provided there is no wind ! ) and I am going to make a film of the way it flies so I can post the film for our new friend in PERTH to see. I think that for $ 99.00 total price for the whole package this WALKERA #4 serves his purposes way better than what he is planning to do. 6:30am rolled around and I have to get on with it .... go to work ps because I feel a lot better, yesterday afternoon the CAMEL was completed ... install two servos and connect everything up is the only remaining job, maybe done over the week-end except that the WHOLE RIGGING is a complex job. I know, because I built the VK CAMEL once before and it took a year to complete. see the pic, it looks good. |

I've read your blog and see that this is a project that you are really looking forward to. As far as the tail drive, it's a flip of a coin. If you decide on a belt drive, you'll spend extra money on the tail assembly and boom. If you decide on an electric motor, then money on the controller for it. Too, not knowing how many amps your DIY motor will pull, it may fry the controller with an electric tail. Just my opinion, but I think the belt drive is more reliable. Here's a site you may find interesting. http://rcvehicles.about.com/gi/o.htm...ect/index.html |

Tak Chee House – 4/5
Since returning from holiday, I been keen for some great, tasty and authentic Asian food. Luckily, we chose Tak Chee on William Street to try because we were served exactly what we were after.
Our table of four ordered a whole Hainanese chicken (you can also order it as a single serve or as a half chicken), the roti canai and a spicy serve of sambal kang kong. Everything was delicious. The chicken was moist, generous in size and alongside the chilli sauce, so moreish. The curry had a great kick and was a much larger serve than expected. Luckily we ordered an extra roti as it was so flaky that it demanded to be eaten with more of the curry! And the kang kong is always a favourite of mine.
Order an extra serve sambal so you don't have to fight over it.

Major Medi-Cal changes raise questionsOriginal source: California Watch Sweeping changes for the state's medical program for the needy are taking shape, even as legislative advisers and advocates raise major questions. Changes include more seniors being routed to managed care programs, a reinvention of how hospitals are paid and the collapse of two state agencies that currently serve beneficiaries. On Friday, the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office cautioned against Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to rapidly expand a pilot project that places patients who rely on Medi-Cal and Medicare into managed care programs. The pilot also would affect Medi-Cal beneficiaries with disabilities. Both groups include about 1.9 million people, the analyst's office estimates. The governor's office estimates that the change would improve care and save the state $679 million this year. It estimates the savings would total $1 billion in future years. The analyst's office urged lawmakers to reject a "premature" statewide expansion of a four-county pilot project that puts high-needs patients in managed care. "We recommend the Legislature reject the governor's proposal to expand the demonstration statewide before the results from the demonstration have been properly evaluated, but proceed instead with the four-county demonstration," the legislative adviser said. During a legislative hearing on another matter yesterday, lawmakers heard testimony about plans to collapse most functions of state mental health and alcohol and drug departments into the Department of Health Care Services, the agency that oversees Medi-Cal. Toby Douglas, director of the Department of Health Care Services, said the change would be a great opportunity. He said it would eliminate a "silo" approach and integrate physical, mental and drug rehabilitation treatments. Douglas said the change also would bring California in line with the goals of federal health reform, which aims to encourage health providers to approach patients with physical and mental health needs in mind. Some patient advocates who testified during the hearing criticized the plan as one that simply moves deck chairs around without cutting state costs. Others said it reduces the visibility and accountability of mental health and substance abuse treatment. Dr. David Pating, co-chairman of the California Coalition for Whole Health, which coordinates several trade and advocacy groups, said the proposal was based on good ideas, but is coming at a time when too many other major changes require scrutiny. Rose King, a former legislative aide and mental health advocate, pointed out that oversight of the Proposition 63 "millionaire's tax" ballot initiative meant to fund mental health has not been properly overseen. King said the proposed changes would not help matters and urged lawmakers to review the ballot initiative that voters approved in 2004, saying lawmakers "still have an obligation to meet what was voted for." On Friday, a joint hearing of the Senate and Assembly health committees will convene in Los Angeles to hear testimony about another major change the Medi-Cal program faces. A law passed in 2010, SB 853, transforms the way [PDF] hospitals will be paid for treating Medi-Cal beneficiaries. Currently, hospitals negotiate flat daily rates with the California Medical Assistance Commission or, if they don't have a contract, are paid through formulas. The new system would be modeled after the way Medicare pays hospitals based on how sick patients are. The system is called a DRG, or diagnosis-related group, payment system. California Watch has reported extensively about billing practices by Prime Healthcare Services, a Southern California-based hospital system, under Medicare's DRG system. The chain has reported seeing high rates of rare and dire conditions that also generate lucrative bonus payments. Prime has said its billing is appropriate. Michael Sarrao, Prime's vice president and general counsel, is expected to testify. |

Results may not have gone Kenny Brown's way since starting his reign as Tooting & Mitcham manager, but he is not panicking about relegation just yet.
The Terrors followed up their first win under Brown against Carshalton Athletic on Boxing Day with two defeats over the new year programme, losing 4-1 at home to Leatherhead on Saturday and 2-1 at Kingstonian on Monday.
The defeats left them third-bottom of the Ryman Premier League and four points from safety, with a match against league leaders Billericay Town to come at Imperial Fields on Saturday.
But Brown, who has made a number of changes to the squad in his three weeks in charge, is not pressing the panic button and believes the Terrors have enough time to climb out of the drop zone.
"There is no magic wand," he said.
"It is a case of working hard and there are still a lot of points to play for, it is not like we are going into the final five or six games in this position.
"We know any team can beat any team in this league – we just have to get our consistency right week in week out.
"If we know what side we are going to put out then we will get results.
"We are competitive at the minute and I have faith in the squad.
"There will be other changes in and out but not wholesale ones and once we get our best side we will be fine."
The Terrors were unlucky to fall to a late defeat to Kingstonian on Monday after Charlie Stimson's equaliser, but were poor against fellow strugglers Leatherhead 48 hours earlier when Stimson had given them an early lead.
"I think we went into the Leatherhead game over confident and we had some defenders who were not at the races," added Brown.
"Three of the four goals we conceded were avoidable and if you do that you are going to get punished at this level.
"We have to cut the errors out before we can start building anything.
"Some of the players thought we had turned a corner after the Carshalton win but Tooting & Mitcham are down the bottom for a reason.
"I haven't seen a defence as a solid block play so poorly before, especially after taking the early lead.
"You know as a player when you have played well and when you haven't and so it was pleasing those same players went out against Kingstonian and made a -difference.
"We were unfortunate not to get at least a point."

"We just wanted to let you know that we absolutely adore the photos. Words cannot describe how pleased we are with them. They are perfect. I knew the first time we met you that you were the only photographer for us. We've spent a lot of today watching the slideshow, could look at them for hours. Thanks again,Victoria and David "
" Annemarie - well what can we say! We have just stayed up all night viewing all of your absolutely stunning photo's of the day from start to finish. You are an absolute true talent, little did we know while you were quietly making your way around, that you would have captured our wedding with such effortless style!
We are both SO blown away by what you have done for us, and you even got the last dance! I secretly wanted you to do this but I couldn't face to say to you, after you had such a long day already, and stayed on with extra time.
They are AMAZING. Can we book in to go through with you and sort out the album when we get back? We'll definitely be getting the full high res package too.
Wow wow wow.
Thank you so much."

J. Negrin London, January 10th., 1942. Dear Sir Walter, I should like to take this opportunity of thanking you most sincerely for what you have done to help in the case of Largo Caballero. I have now heard from the President of the Mexican Republic and the President of Colombia, that since the Tribunal has not issued an extradition order, he is at the moment in no danger. It seems unlikely that he will be able to leave France, however, but they are doing everything they can to assist in the matter, and I understand that his conditions are quite comfortable. With renewed thanks,and best wishes for 1942, I remain, Yours sincerely, Negrin Sir Walter Citrine, Transport House, S.W.1.

Sortu (English: Create) is a Basque socialist political party. Founded in February 2011, it is the first political party belonging to the Basque nationalist "abertzale left" that openly rejects any kind of political violence.[3] Before Sortu, sections of the Basque nationalist left who rejected ETA's violence left the movement and founded another party, Aralar, to represent that element of the abertzale left.
At a press conference on February 8, 2011, party supporters backed a Basque state "within a European Union framework, via exclusively peaceful and political channels." They further rejected all violence "categorically and without hesitation...including that of ETA."[4]
The Guardian and other papers described the party as a new iteration of the Batasuna, ETA's political wing, which has been banned since 2003.[5] The District Attorney of the Basque Country High Court, however, stated that the two parties are not the same and that Sortu "has said things never previously said."[6] The Spanish government announced in January 2011 that it will ask the courts to rule on the legality of the new party. "If this rejection of violence included in the statutes of the new party allow for the end of this situation of illegality or not, it is a decision that is up to judges" said Deputy Prime Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba.[7]
As of March 23, 2011, Sortu will not be able to register as a political party with the Interior Ministry. This was decided by the "61st chamber" of the Supreme Court, which considered the new party to be sponsored by the "Basque nationalist left" as the successor to Batasuna, therefore in affiliation with ETA. After deliberating for 12 hours, the ruling was passed with the support of most magistrates; however, three magistrates voted against the ban. According to most magistrates, the evidence of the links between ETA and the eighth political party created by the Basque nationalist left is so solid that the rejection of violence contained in the statutes is now of secondary importance.[8]
In response to the decision, some members of Sortu, together with other allies, formed a new political coalition, Bildu. Bildu itself was initially banned, but the decision was overturned and Bildu was allowed to participate and went on to receive 26% of the vote in May 2011 regional elections.[9]
Finally, on June 20, 2012, Sortu was legalized by the Constitutional Court, by only a 1-vote difference. Sortu is a member of EH Bildu political coalition with other left-wing independentist political groups.

While preparing their upcoming report Customer Focus Study, 2007, Future Now observed "nearly half of the top online retailers still require people to register before they checkout.
The issue is not whether site registration itself is a bad idea, there are clearly benefits to both customer and seller which I will mention in a moment. The question is: Why are ecommerce websites still making registration a requirement, and asking for registration before the checkout process — especially when most of the user's information will be entered in a standard checkout process anyhow?
How Registration Benefits the Customer
- Facilitates post purchase order tracking
- Allows visitors to bookmark products for later / add to wishlists and so on
- Enables one-click re-order convenience
- Makes for a quicker checkout process next visit
- Allows user to submit product reviews
- Registrants may be entitled to loyalty discounts and other creative membership perks (you gotta motivate 'em!)
- Shipping and tax estimates are easier when the user's zipcode is remembered
- Makes it easy for B2B customers to open and maintain accounts for scheduled orders
The Trust Barrier of Registration
If the customer doesn't understand the benefits they will receive from registering, then the whole process will just be annoying (Web users are notoriously impatient). Or they will get suspicious as to what you're collecting their information for. Will you send them junk mail? Are they opening an account with you? Is this a membership program with a fee?
There are also usability speed bumps in the registration forms themselves. Inexperienced Web users wonder if they are supposed to invent a password or if there is an existing one they just don't know. Inexperienced Web shoppers might confuse registration with a "registry" for weddings or other gifts. International users may also associate the word "registration" with a sex-offender registry or HIV-infected persons registry as a study conducted by Nielsen-Norman in 2000 showed with users from Denmark.
Registration Best-Practices
- Do ask for an email address as the first step of checkout. This does not mean they are registering, but explain that without a valid email address, you will not be able to send an invoice or confirmation email
- Give visitors the option to also register for an account, but don't make it a requirement, and do this at the end of the checkout process
- State all the benefits to the customer for registering, but try to make these benefits available without registering if possible (example, just enter your zipcode to see shipping and tax calculations). Remember that cookies can store a name and address without the user having to login. Providing a "remember your details" checkbox will do the trick
- Link to your Privacy Policy and tell the visitor exactly what their information will be used for
- Don't opt-in for the customer. Leave the checkbox(es) blank and let the user control what he or she signs up for
- Make it very easy to cancel, and clearly state that you will delete their records from your database upon cancellation

Firefighters called out to early-morning barn burner
Firefighters from four Chilliwack fire halls were called out to an early morning blaze.
Crews arrived in the 43,000 block of Keith Wilson Road at 5:30 a.m. to find smoke coming from the north end of a barn. The barn was being used for industrial metal fabricating, and workers had already doused the fire with a portable extinguisher.
The barn sustained light fire and water damage, but there were no injuries.
The cause of the fire is considered accidental and may be related to the electrical system.

The U.S. prison camp in Cuba is among several countries listed as potential trouble spots, including Afghanistan, the United States, China, Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Mexico and Syria...When asked in the past about Khadr's claims that he had been abused, Foreign Affairs officials have said Canada takes the issue seriously and has received assurances from U.S. officials it wasn't happening...
His lawyers say he has been held in stress positions, thrown into solitary confinement for months on end and used as a human mop to clean up his own urine.

"The Other Side", The Roots featuring Bilal and Greg Porn, undun (2011)
"The Other Side" is quite possibly the dopest song in the bunch. The hard hitting drum beat is as reliable as the strongest heartbeat but, like any heartbeat, it can be extinguished in an instant. "The Other Side" sits at the midpoint of the Roots's album undun, a reverse-chronological concept album about the life and ultimate demise of character Redford Stephens. Bilal strikes out at the heart of the song and, therefore, at the heart of the album as a whole, with his earnest vocals. "We're all on a journey," he belts out, "down the hall of memories." He sounds completely absorbed and invested in his work here, and the rapping from emcee Black Thought is as focused and inspired as anything the Roots has produced.
"Waiting for the DJ", Talib Kweli featuring Bilal, Quality (2002)
In case anyone is wondering whether Bilal can do a lighthearted piece, Talib Kweli's "Waiting for the DJ" provides a great example. As is Bilal's habit, the song opens with Bilal's hook, which includes the title and a club goer's wish to "let your body rock" when the DJ finally arrives. Talib Kweli's flow is characteristically swift, fleet of tongue, and filled with analogies, so rather than picking up the pace on the hook, Bilal's entries work to slow things down, panting. When the party has been pumping and fun is in the air, Bilal's hook reminds me of a party goer waiting for the action to begin anew, a quick breather that will allow just enough of a refuel to make it to the end of the DJ's next song.
This flight of amusement might be viewed as a bit of a departure from what people usually associate with Talib Kweli as well, although Kweli takes it all very serious and in a somewhat high minded fashion: "Music is the air I breathe… it's stronger than the revolution that you wear on your sleeve." Bilal's vocals create an airiness for the proceedings, making Kweli's syllable-packing verses a touch less claustrophobic, and perhaps assisting Kweli in fashioning a credible pop-oriented tune that retains its soulfulness and authentic hip-hop lean.
The Duets
"Cosmic Journey", Solange featuring Bilal, Sol-Angel & the Hadley St. Dreams (2008)
Destiny's other child, Solange Knowles, scored a sweet victory in 2008, not only for overshadowed siblings everywhere but for R&B in general. Her slightly underrated jewel, Sol-Angel & the Hadley St. Dreams, found Beyonce's younger sister hitting her stride with confident vocals and lush instrumentation. I say the album is "slightly" underrated, because many outlets, critics, and fans enjoyed the work, just not to the extent that it might have been received with, say, a little more promotion.
Solange and Bilal perform this duet as a tag team. Over a sidestepping rhythm—that is, when there's an actual beat and not a swirl of synthesizer effects—the track is breezy, ethereal, and otherworldly. There's plenty of echo in this tune, which does give it a "cosmic" feel, and it's not overdone so as to get in the way or drown the vocals. This time around, Bilal is more of an assistant than a scene stealer. He's mellow but engaged, following Solange's lead without being mistaken for passive. In short, he's a dynamic supporter. He gives a subdued performance without sounding like he's on autopilot.
"Everything I Do", Beyonce & Bilal, Fighting Temptations soundtrack (2003).
Before little sis sang with Bilal, big sister Beyonce performed a duet with him for the Fighting Temptations soundtrack. That duet, the song "Everything I Do", is probably too good to be associated with the film, which isn't that great, but at least the soundtrack provided a vehicle for the song's release. Beyonce appears in quite a few of the soundtrack tunes, largely because she also appears in the film, so having her participate in the soundtrack is a natural choice.
"Everything I Do" finds Bilal offering one of his smoothest deliveries yet, which matches the smoothness of Beyonce's voice and tone. Their duet is overlapping, as they seem to be climbing over each other to sing each successive line. Overlapping and intertwined, the vocal arrangement portrays the voices as belonging to lovers who are eager and willing to please. This strikes me as the type of song Amel Larrieux would have made when she was in Groove Theory. It also show's Bilal's softer, more romantic side, and adds dimension to what he's capable of doing.
"I Can't Wait", Jaguar Wright featuring Bilal, Denials, Delusions & Decisions (2002)
If "Everything I Do" is romantic, then "I Can't Wait" is carnal, and less delicate. "I can't wait…to get my hands on you," goes the chorus. If that doesn't tell the tale, then the message is certainly made clear when Bilal sings, "Here I am, drawers in hand / Housewife gone, think she won't be back 'til 10 am." His voice quivers with anticipation, which enhances the sexy vibe of the track, and also complements Jaguar Wright's vocals. The accompanying music has that knocking Linn Drum sound that everyone associates with Prince's songs in the '80s.
Bilal sounds pretty great over this stuff, which makes me wonder how he would fare with a set of Prince tunes to cover. In fact, I've even considered a playlist. Give him some material from 1999 ("Something in the Water (Does Not Compute)", "International Lover"), Purple Rain ("The Beautiful Ones", "Darling Nikki", a slower version of "When Doves Cry"), a few things from Diamonds & Pearls ("Insatiable", "Strollin'")—something along those lines might work nicely.
"Overwhelmed", Daedelus featuring Bilal, Bespoke (2011)
Daedelus's Bespoke struck me as "good" but not "great". As 2011 moved forward, however, one of the album's tracks, the Bilal assisted "Overwhelmed", grew on me more and more. I always considered it an album highlight, but lately I've come to regard it as something of a minor masterpiece. The whole thing just falls all over itself with drum rolls, which cascade in and out of the songs like crashing tidal waves, accompanied by this really wonky upward and downward scale of synthesizer.
In the midst of this comes Bilal, gently worming his way through all of the fuzz and circumstance, and honestly turning in one of his best vocal performances beneath the layers. This song isn't good—it's "great", and the only thing wrong with it is that it's too short and I wish it had more to say lyrically. Originally, I wished the song didn't fade so we could hear where it goes, and I still feel that way. I'm not a fan of the fade, here.
"The Way You Are", Zap Mama featuring BilalReCreation (2009)
When you hear the guitar strumming at the beginning of this song, it's easy to imagine this song as an album closer to a set of Bilal cameos. This must have been a difficult duet to pull off, since Zap Mama's Marie Daulne has a distinctive singing voice in her own right. Here, Bilal figures out how he can match her Eartha Kitt-ish delivery amid piano twinkles and a steady methodical rhythm. The song is so layered and dense with scats and moans and intonations, there's hardly any room for negative space. It's an intimate tune, best enjoyed when listening to headphones. It is breathy, deliberate, and full of blissful echoes and soulful bellows.
Like nearly all of Bilal's output, it's a joy to experience.

The Feed first look: Pearl & Ash
Former Frej toque Richard Kuo opens a globe-trotting small-plates restaurant in the old Bowery Kitchen space.
Richard Kuo—who made a splash with New Nordic pop-up Frej—goes decidedly non-Scandinavian with this globe-trotting LES small-plates spot. The inventive chef composes ama-ebi (spot-prawn sushi) with smoked lime yogurt and bee pollen; quail accented with pomegranate and chicken skin; and Fernet Branca ice cream sandwiches. The bar program is equally ambitious, with a 1,000-bottle wine cellar overseen by former Gilt sommelier Patrick Cappiello, and aperitif-infused cocktails (sherry with Zucca and egg yolk, stout with Pineau des Charentes), courtesy of mixologist Eben Klemm. Playing up the duality of the restaurant's name, the 62-seat space is decked out with dark subway tiles and light poplar wood, as well as old-timey knickknacks like Kodak cameras and vintage stemware. 220 Bowery between Prince and Spring Sts (212-837-2370)

Synopsis by Lucia BozzolaIn Martin Scorsese's adaptation of Edith Wharton's 1920 novel, romance between an upper-class gentleman and an ostracized lady is doomed by 19th century New York society. Shortly after his engagement to blandly genteel May Welland (Winona Ryder), Newland Archer (Daniel Day-Lewis) is reacquainted with May's scandalous cousin Ellen Olenska (Michelle Pfeiffer). As the head of an esteemed family, Archer initially uses his standing to try to rehabilitate Ellen's reputation, but he finds himself increasingly drawn to her disregard for the codes of New York manners. Bound by ingrained society mores and his peers' insinuations, Newland tries to dodge his growing passion by rushing his marriage to May, but he cannot keep himself from confessing his love to Ellen. Recognizing that Newland could never abandon his sense of honor and be happy, Ellen pushes Newland to May and leaves town. The marriage proceeds as dictated, but when Newland unexpectedly sees Ellen again, he yearns for the affair to come to fruition. However, he underestimates not only what May knows but also her ability to uphold the rules of propriety. Sumptuously shot by Michael Ballhaus, the film offers meticulously designed costumes and settings that evoke a culture as seductively beautiful in its surfaces as it is stifling in its rituals. Unspoken emotions are expressed through such details as yellow roses or a clipped cigar, a fade to red or a single camera move. Using Wharton's original prose to comment on the setting's hypocrisies, Joanne Woodward's voiceover narration suggests how much decisive power is buried beneath dainty femininity. The Age of Innocence received five Oscar nominations, including Best Supporting Actress for Ryder and Best Screenplay for Scorsese and Jay Cocks, and a win for Best Costumes. Although The Age of Innocence seemed like a departure from Scorsese's prior work, Newland is as much at the mercy of his circle's Byzantine structure (and his own conscience) as are Scorsese's more familiar mobsters; Newland's persecutors just wear white tie and tails.

American Forces Press Service
Dec. 14, 2008 - Coalition and Afghan forces killed at least two enemy fighters, detained 32 suspects and seized weapons in Afghanistan during operations last week, military officials said. Coalition forces killed one militant and detained sixteen suspected militants during operations targeting a group known as Hizb-e-Islami Gulbuddin, or HIG, and Taliban commanders in Kabul and Zabul provinces Dec. 12.
In Surobi District, some 30 km northeast of Kabul, coalition forces detained eight suspected militants, including a HIG commander, known for trafficking weapons and explosives into the Afghan capital and conducting attacks against civilians and security personnel.
Troops also discovered a weapons cache onsite that contained assault rifles, grenades and other military equipment.
"Afghans' safety and security are at the forefront of every Coalition forces' operation," said Army Col. Jerry O'Hara, a U.S. Forces Afghanistan spokesman. "Destruction of weapons and explosives ensures militants are denied the use to cause further harm to innocent Afghan people and combined forces."
In Zabul province's Shah Joy District, about 140 km northeast of Kandahar, coalition forces killed one militant and detained eight suspected militants during an operation targeting both a Taliban commander and one of his militant fighters.
The targeted Taliban commander is known to coordinate and direct militant activities throughout the district, military officials said.
During the operation, one militant armed with an AK-47, grenades and other military equipment engaged the force. Troops retaliated, killing the enemy fighter, officials said.
In another engagement, Afghan national commandos and coalition forces detained a known bombing facilitator during a security patrol on Dec. 11 in the Boti Kot area of Nangahar Province.
The suspect, known as Attiqullah, tested positive for RDX, a common explosive used in improvised explosive devices, military officials said. A nomadic tribesman later confirmed his identity.
"(Afghan forces) continue to improve this country's security by removing those people who facilitate the use of (makeshift bombs) from our society," said General Azimi, the chief spokesman of the Afghan Ministry of Defense. "Our (forces) will continue to seek and capture the extremists that hurt the Afghan people."
Coalition forces on a night-time reconnaissance patrol in the Deh Rawood district of Uruzgan Province came under attack from militants using small arms, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenade fire Dec. 10.
Troops retaliated with small-arms fire and successfully thwarted the ambush.
Unconfirmed reports state that forces may have killed three noncombatants during the counterattack. Coalition forces reported the incident to local officials and were slated to discuss the issue with local tribal elders.
"We regret any loss of innocent life and express our condolences to their families," O'Hara said. "Coalition forces work diligently to prevent any loss of life and take these matters seriously."

Sorry if it's too early in the morning to get all choked up. But it's too sweet not to share.
Cory Monteith recorded this brief, touching video for a young fan just days before his death. "Hi, Malorie, I'm Cory, I'm Sheila's friend," he says. "I just wanted to record this video for you guys to let you know to stay out of trouble and stay in school."
If only he could have taken his own advice. The "Sheila" who asked the "Glee" star to make the video was a stewardess on Cory's Air Canada flight to Vancouver, the city where he died. Oh, man. I'm going back to bed.
TMZ.com is reporting that Cory Monteith died from a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol.
Canadian authorities said on Monday they would perform an autopsy including toxicology tests to determine the cause of death of actor Cory Monteith, the 31-year-old heartthrob of Fox's musical-comedy television series "Glee" who was found dead on Saturday in a Vancouver hotel room.
Although the British Columbia Coroners Service said the results will not be available for several days, it seems as though it has been expedited due to public interest.

Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller Review
Users rave about the ease of use that comes with this fixed wheel jogger, be it over rough terrain, uneven pavement, or modest hills. The positive vibes are due in part to the rugged 16-inch wheels and the dual hand/foot-operated brakes.
True runners are committed to Kolcraft's Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller (starting at $175, Amazon). Jeep Overland Limited reviews on Buzzillions, for example, assert that it rolls easily on street, sidewalk, and trail; tracks straight no matter the terrain; and turns smoothly when needed. Joggers attribute the solid performance to the rugged build and large wheels, including the fixed front wheel. As several Jeep Overland Limited reviews at Walmart point out, the fixed front wheel along with the handbrake make this a true jogging stroller. One mother attests to the absence of jostling and bouncing for the passenger compared to the bumpiness her friend's child experiences in a swivel wheel stroller and another expresses appreciation for the handbrake, which helps keep the stroller under control when running down hills. Children fit comfortably in this stroller, according to Jeep Overland Limited reviews at Diapers.com, where parents comment on the ease of handling and assembly. Some also report that this model is no sweat to fold and load into a car, although others find it heavy and bulky.
Indeed, grumbles about a few matters occasionally surface in Jeep Overland Limited reviews. Reviewers who walk (as opposed to run) with the stroller say turning corners is a chore because of the fixed front wheel, which must be lifted slightly. Several write that faulty alignment causes the stroller to veer off track, and some complain that the bells and whistles aren't worth much: the pedometer doesn't work, they say, and the onboard sound system, which sealed the deal for more than one purchaser and apparently keeps a number of youngsters entertained, is tinny and insufficiently loud.
Where to buy
As for the specifics, the Jeep Overland Limited boasts three 16-inch wheels, spring-loaded suspension, and angle-adjustable handlebar. Safety features include a height-adjustable 5-point harness and a tether strap; there's a hand brake in addition to foot (parking) brakes. The seat reclines to five positions, the sun canopy can be adjusted, and the front wheel pops off for storage; when folded, the Jeep Overland Limited stands upright. This model also features the removable (and patented) iBaby sound system for use with iPods or MP3 players, an odometer and pedometer, a snack tray for the child, a parent organizer, and an under-seat storage basket. It weighs 26.4 pounds and can carry children up to 45 pounds; it is not compatible with infant car seats.
This is a moderately-priced jogging stroller with a lot of appealing features that's designed for exercising, not for errand-running. And it serves this purpose commendably, according to Jeep Overland Limited reviews. If that's the intended use, this jogging stroller belongs at the top of your shopping list.
