CMOM Responds After Hurricane Sandy
Urgent help needed!
CMOM launches long-term plan to help families impacted by Hurricane Sandy
As CMOM has learned through its work after 9/11 and in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, creativity is at the heart of recovery and it is imperative to keep children's minds active and engaged, even in difficult circumstances. CMOM is putting out an urgent call for volunteers and donations needed toward its relief efforts.
At Memorial Sloan Kettering
Among the families who suffered losses and have had their lives greatly impacted by Hurricane Sandy, are the families with children being treated for cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital. When CMOM artist-educator Jamie Kim went to the hospital to lead this week's CMOM art program, she found that families of children being treated for cancer had been displaced by the hurricane with no where to stay, siblings and other relatives were waiting for hours at the hospital. Not only are these families dealing with the stress of being displaced or lacking access to electricity or transportation, they are dealing with a great added burden in getting their children timely medical care.
CMOM would like to create art kits for these children in transition, to create and participate in fun activities while waiting in the hospital, shelters or wherever they are staying. These kits would include a Wishing Wand Project with decorative materials, spiral bound writing and drawing journal and colorful crayons, and a soft pillowcase to draw on with fabric markers.Volunteers are needed to make Art Kits. If you want to volunteer, contact Liz Tsaoussis at 212-721-1223 ext. 254.
Staten Island Relief Project
The New York Public Library Branch division has asked CMOM to host "relief" programs at public library branches in areas of Staten Island affected by Hurricane Sandy. CMOM needs volunteers to buy or fund materials to prepare up to 100 Art Kits (each kit will include a draw-on stuffed animal or pillow case, wishing wand and journal with crayons) and 40 no-sew fleece blankets (to be hand constructed). Volunteers are needed to work with staff at the libraries. If you want to volunteer, contact contact Liz Tsaoussis at 212-721-1223 ext. 254.
Holiday Toy Delivery
Additionally, in December CMOM will receive a donation of over 400 toys which the Museum will deliver to children and families in Staten Island and Memorial Sloan-Kettering hospital. Volunteers are needed to help deliver toys. If you want to volunteer, contact Leslie Bushara at 212-721-1223 ext. 250.
In the coming weeks, CMOM will continue to work with our citywide partners to determine how to best deliver programs at libraries throughout Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island; Head Start sites, hospitals and community centers.
Please let us know if you would like to make a donation toward the fund for the CMOM Art Kit supplies, for Memorial Sloan Kettering or Staten Island Relief Project; or alternately, if you can put us in contact with any individual or company that may be able to donate supplies for the kits or offer additional resources. If you would like to donate funds, supplies or offer additional resources please contact Leslie Bushara at 212-721-1223 ext. 250 or Callie Siegel at 212-721-1223 ext. 260.
Message from the Director
CMOM was thrilled to have reopened to the public in the wake of the hurricane on Thursday, November 1 to provide safe, nurturing and educational experiences for families. Shortly after on Monday, November 5, the Museum also resumed its citywide outreach programs to homeless shelters, hospitals, after school programs, Head Start centers and in public housing.
As are all New Yorkers, CMOM remains very concerned about the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and its lasting effect on our region. Many New Yorkers have been displaced or are living in semi-permanent housing, and the work to rebuild and recover will be long term and require a sustained effort by all of us. CMOM in particular has a history of working in communities affected by disasters and is helping those in areas affected most severely across the city — namely Staten Island, The Rockaways and Lower Manhattan — regain a bit of normalcy in their lives.
In 2006, after Hurricane Katrina, CMOM created PlayHelps in New Orleans with support from the Toy Industry Foundation. PlayHelps was a recovery project to provide children affected by Katrina with a safe place to participate in everyday play and learning activities, and where they could also express their concerns, fears—and hopes for the future. PlayHelps was built on CMOM's previous experiences working with families after the 9/11 attacks and its years of working with children in the pediatric oncology ward at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital. We know that the trauma of Hurricane Sandy may stay with children for some time and that providing comfort through the arts, play and writing helps to mitigate their long-term impact. CMOM is currently reaching out to its partners in communities affected by Hurricane Sandy to see how we can help.
Beyond the physical rebuilding of our city, we must also care for those children who need to be fortified emotionally. If you want to help either at CMOM or in these communities, or can direct us to resources and partners, email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com. Together, we can make every effort to minimize the trauma of Hurricane Sandy.
Thank you for your support of CMOM and the families of New York.

After Sandy: Mitigating Anxiety In Children
Practical Ideas From The Executive Director of The Children's Museum of Manhattan
New York Family By Andrew Ackerman

Story highlights
- Ahmadinejad sits down for an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan
- During the sometimes contentious conversation, he talks about the Holocaust, Syria
- Ahmadinejad also discusses an anti-Islam film and Osama bin Laden
- Iran's president is to address the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made clear what he meant when he said Israel should be "wiped off" the map and touched on everything from the Holocaust to homosexuality in a wide-ranging interview that aired Monday on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight."
The president, speaking through a translator, also said what his country would do if attacked by Israel, and he slammed an anti-Islam film that has triggered protests in the Muslim world.
"If a group comes and occupies the United States of America, destroys homes while women and children are in those homes, incarcerate the youth of America, impose five different wars on many neighbors, and always threaten others, what would you do? What would you say? Would you help it? ... Or would you help the people of the United States?" Ahmadinejad asked in response to whether Israel should be "wiped off" the face of the map, as he once said.
"So when we say 'to be wiped,' we say for occupation to be wiped off from this world. For war-seeking to (be) wiped off and eradicated, the killing of women and children to be eradicated. And we propose the way. We propose the path. The path is to recognize the right of the Palestinians to self-governance."
When asked whether he believes in a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Ahmadinejad declined to comment.
"I cannot express an opinion. That is their prerogative," Ahmadinejad said. "But the people of Palestine must be allowed by everyone, and helped by everyone, to allow them, to give them the right to choose for themselves."
In New York this week to visit the United Nations, Ahmadinejad spoke at a meeting on the rule of law Monday and is scheduled to address the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon met with the Iranian president over the weekend and warned him of the "potentially harmful consequences of inflammatory rhetoric," according to a U.N. statement.
During his speech Monday, Ahmadinejad accused "some members of the Security Council with veto rights" of having "chosen silence with regard to the nuclear warheads of a fake regime, while at the same time they impede scientific progress of other nations."
Though he didn't name the countries, he was clearly talking about the United States, Israel and his own country.
Some world powers, particularly Western nations, suspect that Iran is seeking to build nuclear weapons. Tehran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
When asked by CNN's Morgan what Iran would do if Israel were to attack it, Ahmadinejad said, "Any nation has the right and will indeed defend herself."
"But my question is this: Why should the world be managed in such a way that an individual can allow himself to threaten a rich and deeply rooted historical, ancient country such as Iran? A great country, such as Iran, based on an excuse of his own fabrication. ... Another country can say, 'I am guessing that country B is doing activity X, therefore I will attack that country' ... can this be ... a successful formula for the management of the world?"
Again there, the president was likely referring to Iran's disputed nuclear program.
Asked whether he feared a war or military conflict with Israel was imminent, Ahmadinejad said: "The Zionists are very much, very adventuresome, very much seeking to fabricate things, and I think they see themselves at the end of the line and I do firmly believe that they seek to create new opportunities for themselves and their adventurous behaviors."
Among other topics the president touched on in the interview taped in New York over the weekend were:
Anti-Islam film
Ahmadinejad denounced the film, "Innocence of Muslims," that portrays the Prophet Mohammed as a womanizer, child molester and killer. The online video has led to a wave of global unrest.
"Fundamentally, first of all, any action that is provocative, offends the religious thoughts and feelings of any people, we condemn," he said.
"Likewise, we condemn any type of extremism. Of course, what took place was ugly. Offending the Holy Prophet is quite ugly. This has very little or nothing to do with freedom and freedom of speech. This is the weakness of and the abuse of freedom, and in many places it is a crime. It shouldn't take place, and I do hope the day will come in which politicians will not seek to offend those whom others hold holy," Ahmadinejad said.
"We also believe that this must also be resolved in a humane atmosphere, in a participatory environment, and we do not like anyone losing their lives or being killed for any reason, anywhere in the world."
The privately produced film sparked protests against the United States, where it was made. While most of the demonstrations have been peaceful, some were marred by violence that has left more than two dozen people dead -- among them U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans killed in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that reportedly followed a demonstration against the film.
When asked by Morgan whether he thought protesters should stop threatening U.S. staff abroad, Ahmadinejad said he cannot say what other people or nations should do, but that he believes "extremism gives birth to following and subsequent extremists."
A long-time supporter of embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Ahmadinejad told CNN's Morgan the crisis in Syria must be resolved through dialogue, and without outside interference.
He condemned the violence, which has left more than 26,000 people dead since March 2011, according to opposition activists.
"We must all say enough of this violence, right now," Ahmadinejad said, adding that he is working to organize a group to bring the two sides together.
"We do believe that freedom, the right to choose, the right to vote, respect and justice is the fundamental right of all people. All people must obtain these rights. No one has the right to restrict a people and nation, but we believe as a friend of nations, we must help the nations around the world to obtain these rights through peaceful paths, though peaceful actions."
The Holocaust
The conversation was contentious at times, particularly when the topic turned to the Nazi Germany extermination of the Jews last century. Ahmadinejad has long questioned the existence of the Holocaust.
"I pass no judgment about historic events. I defend the human freedoms. Whatever event has taken place throughout history, or hasn't taken place, I cannot judge that. Why should I judge that? I say researchers and scholars must be free to conduct research and analysis about any historical event," the Iranian president said.
"I'm sorry. Let me ask you this. Do you believe that anyone is giving birth through homosexuality? Homosexuality ceases procreation. Who has said that if you like or believe in doing something ugly, and others do not accept your behavior, that they're denying your freedom?" he asked Morgan.
"Proper education must be given ... the education system must be revamped. The political system must be revamped. And these must be also reformed, revamped along the way. But if you, if a group recognizes an ugly behavior or ugly deed as legitimate, you must not expect other countries or other groups to give it the same recognition."
When asked how he would feel if one of his children dated a Jew, Ahmadinejad replied, "I would have to see who that Jewish man or woman would be. I see love amongst people as completely acceptable. There are many Jews living in Iran with whom we are very close. There are ... some Muslims that marry into Jewish families or marry Christians."
"I -- we have no such problems," he added.
"Of course, I think none of us should represent the whole population of the United States, but we believe that color, religion, native tongue, ethnic background shouldn't create differences or distances between people, nor should it be the sole reason to bring people closer together. It has always been like this."
Osama bin Laden
Ahmadinejad also discussed his reaction to Osama bin Laden's death last year by American Navy Seals under President Barack Obama.
"I would have been happier to see a transparent trial, a formal trial, and find out the root causes of all of the events of the last few years," the Iranian president said.

Wyo. officers fired in TASER incident
Associated Press
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Two police officers who chased and Tasered a 76-year-old man driving a tractor in a Wyoming town parade have been fired.
Bud Grose, who was shocked five times by Officer Michael Kavenius, welcomed the decision announced Tuesday by the Glenrock Police Department.
"Hopefully this will kind of help bring the community together and be an answer to a lot of questions and problems," he said.
Kavenius shot Grose with a Taser on Aug. 1 near the end of Glenrock's annual Deer Creek Days parade. Sgt. Paul Brown was also relieved of duty.
Police say Grose, who was driving an antique tractor in the parade, disobeyed Kavenius' traffic command. That led to a short pursuit and the Taser use, which outraged some in the town of 2,400.
"After considering all aspects of the unfortunate event which occurred after the parade during Deer Creek Days this year, the decision has appropriately been made that the two Glenrock police officers involved are relieved from duty," the department said in its release.
The department said the decision came after a consultant's internal investigation and a probe by the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation.
John Robinson, an attorney representing Brown and Kavenius, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.
Earlier this month, he said the officers acted appropriately, broke no police procedures and should be reinstated to normal duty. The Converse County Attorney's Office decided against filing any charges in the incident.
The officers could choose to appeal the firing, according to the police statement. The officers had been on paid administrative leave since the day of the incident.
The town hired S.J. Miller Associates of Cheyenne to review whether the officers broke department policies.
The details of the internal review weren't available Tuesday. Police Chief Tom Sweet was away from the office and unavailable for comment, a dispatcher said.
Mayor Steve Cielinski was working at his day job at a Casper hospital and couldn't be reached for comment.
The Division of Criminal Investigation report said Grose disobeyed Kavenius' traffic command and steered around Kavenius to head toward the town park rather than the end of the parade. Kavenius told state investigators he was struck by Grose's tractor, but Grose denied hitting the officer.
The report said Kavenius then chased Grose on foot until Brown joined the pursuit in a police SUV and caught up to Grose's tractor.
The police pulled in front of the tractor, which came to a stop as it bumped the SUV. That's when Kavenius shocked Grose with the Taser.
Grose, a retired truck driver, said he's unlikely to participate in future parades. "I think I probably have retired from parades," he said.

text: You know who they are. They are the handful of guests that trickle into your hotel with nothing but a cell phone, two laptops, and plans of vegging out in a king-size bed with World of Warcraft on their PC, the latest hollywood blockbuster downloading on their MacBook, and an iPad streaming "Hackers" via Netflix on-demand. Bandwidth hogs represent a small minority of the millions of guests that visit hotels each year, but the number of people that are using the Internet for more than information gathering is growing and Internet speeds are starting to choke up. What's more, guests no longer pay for on-demand movies when they have dozens of quality films available through Hulu or Netflix. The only cost is to the hotelier who has to pump out enough bandwidth so that guests can watch these gigabyte-size movies. Hotels face a catch 22. If they give Internet away for free, will guests be happy with sluggish speeds due to network splitting? If hoteliers charge for Internet, how much bandwidth is appropriate at a particular pay scale, and at what point should the hotel choke the pipe to limit excessive use? Many full-service hotels believe in the à la carte pricing model for services, which means that not much is bundled with the room and guests have to pay for amenities such as food, Internet and phone. As competition started to rise, some hotels started offering free breakfast, free Internet, etc. "The brands have created this odd dichotomy in the industry where at the low end of the industry you have a bundled product where you pay one price for the room and get everything, but at the upper end of the market you don't have that," explains Ron Hardin, VP of technology at Davidson Hotel Company (www.davidsonhotels.com). "We generally believe that services such as Internet service for guests should be a chargeable service, and it fits in with the philosophy of matching up our revenue stream with an investment or expense for the service." Davidson Hotels has implemented tiered bandwidth pricing at a few of its properties. Tiered pricing allows hotels to charge more money for more bandwidth depending on a guest's preference. Most hotels simply provide a flat fee and guests receive the same quality of Internet no matter how fast or slow it is. However, with a tiered model, hotels must ensure that the quality is substantial for guests paying the higher cost for more bandwidth. "We like the idea of tiered pricing, particularly when there's competitive pressure to provide free internet access," Hardin says. "In a full-service hotel, it only makes sense that if you are going to offer free access to only offer a basic level free, and offer a more premium level of service for an additional charge." Tiered pricing using bandwidth throttling is being called the wave of the future for hotels with additional revenue being garnered from guests who really need the extra Internet speed. Davidson currently uses AFL Telecommunications (www.afltele.com) for three networking projects it's currently running on BelAir (www.belairnetworks.com) wireless networks. The network is being distributed to guests using the Procera (www.proceranetworks.com) bandwidth management system. Active management Some hotels have installed an active bandwidth management where a package shaper is integrated into the network to better manage the bandwidth available to the guest at the application or protocol level. So basically, bandwidth is increased or decreased depending on the actual need. "If it were up to us, we would always want to see an active bandwidth appliance because there's never enough bandwidth," Hardin says. "We could put in an obscene amount of bandwidth and there are applications and users that could consume a significant amount of it. Peer-to-Peer file sharing is a perfect example. P2P users don't realize that as a peer on a file sharing network, they are essentially a server from which files can be downloaded, and if they the users haven't regulated the number of connections they allow from their machine out, then a single guest on a P2P file sharing network can consume a huge amount of bandwidth." Active bandwidth management can be as simple as capping the total amount of bandwidth each user is allowed to consume, which turns into a numbers game, depending on how robust the system is. The package shaping type of appliance allows hotels to create rules based on the application and the protocol, so it can differentiate between peer-to-peer file sharing traffic, normal Web traffic, and streaming video. It can limit bandwidth by the application and severely limit the amount of bandwidth to guests using the Web for bandwidth intensive programs. "That's why throwing more bandwidth at the problem isn't going to fix the problem," Hardin says. "Active bandwidth management is the only true answer to the problem." The price for bandwidth "More hotels are aggregating their bandwidth than actually managing it," says James Lingle, VP of IT at Sage Hospitality (www.sagehospitality.com). Bandwidth management traditionally refers to the use of hardware and software to prioritize what traffic passes through the pipe and what traffic is more important than other traffic. Aggregating bandwidth is the tactic of simply increasing bandwidth as the need arises. "There are two pieces to the puzzle and you really have to solve one before the other becomes a part of it," Lingle says. "The most important thing, from my perspective, isn't necessarily the amount of bandwidth coming into the building. The most important thing is can your infrastructure handle it?" For example, a hotel won't see much of a performance boost if it tries to run 10MB of bandwidth on the backside of CAT3 Cisco long-range ethernet. The reality is, there are technological limitations to that kind of infrastructure, so hotels can install as much bandwidth as they want on the back end, but they won't get the full advantage of using it. The question, then, is how to bring in all that bandwidth and then how should it be divvied up? "The problem with bandwidth management is that the technology can be cost prohibitive," Lingle says. "Take a small or mid-size hotel and it's actually cheaper to bring in a commercial-grade circuit like a T1 or fiber and then spend a couple of thousand dollars on an aggregating device like a Fat Pipe (www.fatpipeinc.com). It's just often cheaper to bring in a $59 a month DSL circuit to supplement the current bandwidth." Lingle uses an iBahn (www.ibahn.com) system to aggregate bandwidth from various providers on an as-needed network. Sage has hotels in Portland that have fiber cable coming into the buildings because that's what's readily available in that area. On the backside of that, the hotel can bring in cable or DSL to provide redundancy and to augment the bandwidth. "It's really hard to tell just how much speed and bandwidth guests really need, because need is such a matter of perspective," Lingle says. "Do I need to download this 800 megabyte movie? I don't know if I need to, but I sure might want to. For those of us in the guest service industry, need often bleeds into what our guests want. But I don't think we'll ever get to a point where we don't need bandwidth management. It just continues to grow." RELATED ARTICLE: IP-Converged Networks

Apr 23, 2013Let's just say there are no huge surprises, but it's extremely well executed. The narrative has always been the strength of ACIII, and the DLC campaign is no exception.
Apr 23, 2013If you dip into Assassin's infrequently you will likely question the worth of this self-contained side-story. But for those keen to experience every nook and cranny of the Creedverse, Tyranny offers an enjoyable and different experience - if not an essential one.
Apr 24, 2013I'll be blunt -- I wish the other two DLCs were just like this one, as it offers up a fairly satisfying series of events that actually feel different from the main game. From a unique environment to a satisfying conclusion, barring a few missteps, I was thoroughly satisfied with The Redemption.
Apr 24, 2013The beginning with the naval engagements is compelling, some missions are well thought out and taking the role of this new Connor is like to control a superhero. Even the New York settings are not bad, but with a short longevity and a narrative climax that never seems to arrive, the final score is not the most exciting.
Apr 25, 2013The Redemption's varied missions and new powers are a lot of fun, but the predictable ending is a big disappointment for the series.
May 5, 2013Out of the three, we'd recommend 'The Redemption' over the previous episodes - and you don't need to purchase the other two to play it - but ultimately, the series fails to live up to its promising premise.
Apr 29, 2013The Tyranny of King Washington is an expansion not worthy of the Assassin's Creed series. The Infamy had given me some hope, that the next installment will be interesting, but in the end we have received a boring and uninspired story with a weak conclusion. You get no pleasure from a repetitive and primitive gameplay as well. It's a shame. Right now I need to rest and don't want to play Assassin's Creed IV any time soon. That is no redemption.

The immensity of what happened Wednesday night hasn't completely sunk in yet, except we know we saw something most of us will never see again. And nobody better symbolizes the improbability than Tampa Bay's Dan Johnson.
Sep 29, 2011 - Today we offer, as a public service and completely free of charge, two guarantees ...
Guarantee Number 1: The next four weeks of baseball will be filled with more thrills and spills and life-changing moments and crimes against probability than most human beings, not being used to such things, couldn't handle without a good supply of aspirin and frequent naps.
Guarantee Number 2: If you add up everything that happens in the next four weeks, it won't amount to three buckets of spit compared to what happened in four hours Wednesday night.
Atlanta's Craig Kimbrel, though just a rookie, entered Wednesday night with a 2.00 ERA and 46 saves, more than anyone else in the National League. He had never walked more than two hitters in one appearance.
Wednesday night, Kimbrel walked three Phillies to blow the Braves' one-run lead, and the save.
Boston's Jonathan Papelbon entered Wednesday night with a 2.69 ERA, and hadn't lost a single game all season.
Wednesday night, Papelbon struck out the first two Orioles he faced, then gave up consecutive doubles and a single — all of them ringing drives, no bloopers or bingles among them — to blow the Red Sox' one-run lead, and the save, and the game, and the American League Wild Card.
Wednesday night, the Tampa Bay Rays trailed the New York Yankees by seven runs after five innings. At that point, history would have suggested the Rays' chances of winning the contest was somewhere between one and zero percent. The Rays also trailed the Yankees by seven runs after six innings, and seven; at the conclusion of each, history would have suggested that the Rays' chances of winning the contest was zero percent.
Not exactly zero percent, of course. Nothing is exactly zero percent. There is not exactly a zero-percent chance that monkeys will fall out of the sky tomorrow. There is not exactly a zero-percent chance that our sun will explode tomorrow. But the chances of approach zero percent quite closely, and so did the Tampa Bay Rays' chances of making up a seven-run deficit, even against the New York Yankees' second-string bullpen.
Wednesday night, the Rays scored six runs in the eighth inning, which improved their chances from (almost) exactly zero to something like twenty-five percent. After two quick outs in the bottom of the ninth, their chances had plummeted again, to something like five percent.
Enter Dan Johnson.
Dan Johnson joined the Rays in 2008, and hit two home runs that season. The first of them was a game-tying blast against Jonathan Papelbon in this game.
Johnson played for the Yokohoma BayStars in 2009.
He returned to the Rays in 2010 and hit the grand total of seven home runs; one of them was a walkoff against the Red Sox.
Johnson has played with the Rays sparingly in 2011, and he's hit only two home runs all season. The first was a ninth-inning shot that turned a 7-6 deficit into a 9-7 lead, and the Rays recorded their first victory — one they would desperately need, as things turned out — after opening the season with six straight losses. Johnson's second home run of the season came in the bottom of the ninth inning in the Rays' last victory, and pushed their chances of winning from less than five percent to more than fifty percent.
In the 12th inning, Evan Longoria hit his second home run of the game, this one to clinch the Wild Card. Longoria's home runs were improbable, as was the entire month of September for the Rays and the Red Sox and the Braves and the Cardinals. It's Longoria's home runs that will be remembered, and justifiably.
But if you're looking for a single living creature to symbolize the crazy mixed-up world in which we live and breathe and play and cheer, Daniel Ryan Johnson is your man.
I've not mentioned the St. Louis Cardinals, but I mean them no disrespect. When September dawned, the Cardinals trailed the Braves by 8½ games; at exactly the same moment, the Rays trailed the Red Sox by 9 games.
According to coolstandings.com, at that point — and remember, this is merely four weeks ago — the Rays had a 1.7-percent chance of reaching the playoffs, the Cardinals a 3.3-percent chance. At that point, the chance of the Rays and Cardinals reaching the playoffs was (roughly) 1 in 1,783.
Once every 1,783 times, a 1-in-1,783 shot will come through. And there are, if you go looking for them, a lot of 1-in-1,783 shots out there.
What made this one different is that we didn't have to go looking. This one just arrived in our laps, like a new puppy at Christmastime. And the sun might explode before we see this again.

Ashley Benson granted three-year restraining order against ex-security guard
WENN/Adriana M. Barraza
Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson has won a three-year restraining order against a former security guard. Last month (Jun14), the actress was granted a temporary order against 49-year-old James Gorton, Jr., and now a California judge has ruled he must stay at least 100 yards away from Benson for the next three years. Gorton, Jr. was fired from his position as a guard on the Warner Brothers lot in Burbank, California where her hit teen drama is filmed, after he allegedly told studio security officials that he had feelings for the 24 year old, and that "God instructed him to pursue her romantically". In legal documents obtained by TMZ.com, he also reportedly told colleagues he "felt a special bond" with Benson after she looked his way one day, and he believed she was silently sending him subliminal messages.

Best triumph verse besides deck's???
Pretty much everyone knows that Deck absolutely murdered his Triumph verse, and he would be the obvious choice for the top verse on that track. Just curious what everyone's second favorite verse on that track was.
It is a tough decision for me, but I would have to go with either RZA or Ghost, as both of them kicked crazy rhymes and showed their unique character on their verses. |
rza u god meth it's hard to say
This is a tough one cuz everyone spazzed.
I've always been partial to Cappa & Rae's verses. Rae ended the track perfectly IMO. |
between meth and cappa for me
RZA, but i love Ghost's
"Lampin like them gray and black pumas on my man's rack"
Ghost |
^cosign the U-G-O-D
" you couldnt punch ya way out of a wet paper bag"-RZA
easily..by fucking miles |
Wrong track man, that is It's Yourz!
ah yess yes my bad..good looks on the correction
good thread/question. first of off, all the verses was crazy but to me its bugged out cuz when Ghost came on he ridiculously murdered that shit and just when you think hows anyone gonna top that shit, Rae comes in and just take it up a level man...lol so i'd have to go with Chef's...
Who got my back in the line of fire holdin back
What, my peoples if u with me where the fuck you at Niggas is strapped and they tryna twist my beer cap It court adjourned for the bad seed from bad sperm Herb got my wig fried likena bad perm What tue blood, clot, we smoke pot And blow spots, you wanna think twice? I think not Cmon easy answer |
hard 2 pick 1, pretty much everybody killed it. if i have 2 pick 1 it would be Ghost
yeah Mr Mef then Ghost then Rza

Steamboy returns to the Ken April 1
Midnight Saturday and Sunday morning screenings
Scott Marks noon, March 28
Chino Hills State Park spreads across some 13,000 acres of rolling, grassy hills of a sensuous, classically Californian nature. Down in the moist, hidden hollows between the swelling hills, live oak and California walnut trees thrive in sheltering habitats free from excessive sunlight and heat. State-park status is protecting these hills and ravines from the snarling, earth-moving machines that are rapidly transforming the vast "Inland Empire" region of Southern California into a mega-suburb of Los Angeles.
If you want to visit what is perhaps the single most isolated yet decently accessible spot in the Chino Hills, visit Water Canyon. Concealed in the inky depths of this steep-walled ravine, massive sycamores and oaks reach skyward, casting a perennial chill. Except for the occasional buzz of a small aircraft and the rustle of leaves in the breeze overhead, the silence and stillness are absolute.
Chino Hills State Park has a temporary main entrance that is about as obscure as the park itself. From the Riverside Freeway (Highway 91) in Corona, drive north on Highway 71 seven miles to the Soquel Canyon Parkway exit. Head west on Soquel Canyon Parkway 1.0 mile to Elinvar Drive. Turn left, left again after 0.2 mile, and then immediately right on the gravel road signed "Chino Hills State Park." The road ahead is open during park hours, 8 a.m. to sunset. After two miles the road becomes paved and bends sharply right. There's an equestrian campground on the left, an equestrian staging area with lots of parking space on a knoll to the right, and a pay station by the road, where you can pay day-use or camping fees. More parking space can be found at the Rolling M Ranch (park office), a little farther ahead on the paved road.
From the equestrian campground, start heading south on the wide trail (dirt road) along the shallow valley known as Lower Aliso Canyon. About 0.5 mile from the campground, you dip to cross Aliso Canyon's small stream. On the other side, you join another road at a T-intersection. Turn right, go about 100 yards, and go right again on the narrow trail going up Water Canyon. This is one of the few trails in the park designated for hikers only. Equestrian and bike traffic is prohibited.
Willows and sycamores, flanked by grizzled oaks and well-proportioned walnut trees, line the lower canyon. After a short mile you pass a thicket of prickly pear cacti so dense it forms a trailside wall. The trail, which may or not have benefited from recent maintenance, may be partially hidden beyond this point by seasonal grasses, especially after the explosive growth triggered by last winter's heavy rainfall. Intrepid hikers can continue an additional half mile up along the shady canyon bottom and reach its darkest heart, flanked by steep slopes on both sides. If you do so, be aware of hazards such as poison oak, stinging nettles, and rattlesnakes.

I met up with Ron for dinner tonight. His field camp has just finished their work in the Durango area. I grilled him for information on the spots where they map - I wanted to know why I see so many vans pulled over beside the same big roadcut every spring. (I have never taken my mapping classes to either of the classic Durango field areas, by the way. I have my own favorites, chosen for 1) nice views, 2) variety of rock types, and 3) interesting map geometries - one of them is perfect for getting students to think about features that dip upstream vs downstream.)
During the conversation, I wondered which towns were visited by the largest number of field camps. Some possibilities that I could think of:
Durango, Colorado
Dinosaur, Colorado
Red Lodge, Montana
Jackson, Wyoming (or maybe Hoback Junction or some campground in Yellowstone)
Bishop, California (because the Poleta folds aren't really in a town - I'm cheating and thinking of the UC system's base camp)
Rapid City, South Dakota
I know there are some early field camps that work in Arizona, and there have got to be some classic places in Utah that get a lot of traffic. (Lots of field camps drive through Moab, in part because there aren't many good places to cross the Colorado River, but do many groups stay near there?)
What am I leaving out?

Being a community college, with only a smattering of majors and a number of teachers, we keep moving for the whole two weeks we are on the road, with stops in Durango and Moab, and lots of parks. The base camp for University of Nevada, Reno is in Ruth NV, near Ely.

Our field camp moved the entire time as well, traveling much of Wyoming. One of the places in WY that seems to be pretty popular is Wind River Canyon, near Thermopolis, due to the nonconformity that is exposed. It is the southern-most route through the Wind River Mountains, however, and tends to have a lot of truck traffic.

I noticed that my former field camp school, University of Arizona, still occasionally starts in Flagstaff, AZ. They also go to different places each year, not always in Arizona, including Wheeler Peak, NV. The year I went, we started in Flagstaff and ended up in the Chiricahua Mountains.

We did Ely NV to look at an extended orogen (Antler?), Vernal UT for folding of classic Co plateau seds, and Jackson WY for mapping on the Gros Vente and then hard rock stuff in the Tetons.
Vernal to Jackson involved a 70F temperature drop. - August 11, 2008 at 4:02 AM

High bed
Collection Title: High bed
Place made:

Materials & Technique:

Through the 1990s to the present, Rosslynd Piggott has worked in a diverse range of media, including installation. Her work is in part inspired by the Symbolists and Surrealists―particularly the Surrealist poets. Her connection with the surreal dimension, and her interest in the unconscious mind, is integrated with her own distinctive vision; informed by personal experience and her capacity for introspection and flights of imagination.
High bed 1998 is a striking example of Piggott's poetic sensibility. The work has literal, metaphorical and contradictory dimensions. A bed is often considered a place of rest and comfort―as suggested in the soft downy fabric draped over it. On the other hand, the vertiginous nature of the high bed also induces a degree of uncertainty and anxiety. As the artist recalls, the initial inspiration for the work occured during a residency in Paris at the Cité des Internationale des Arts:
'When I lay in that bed during the night, my thoughts and impressions of the Parisian day would collect in my head in an intense over-abundance. Somehow, on occasion, that overabundance would transfer itself to the furniture―the bed would swell, the building would weigh itself against my chest. The relationship between mind and object was transferred, fluid and shifting.'[1]
Dramatic dislocations in scale are expressed in the contrast between the bed and the tiny shoes and small white house. The large mirror floating above the bed is partly a distancing device. It enables us to look back in on the work. It also creates an intangible dimension, adding to the sense of a dream which permeates the whole.

From: National Gallery of Australia exhibition SoftSculpture (reference )
In 1994–5, I spent seven months in Paris at the Cité Internationale des Arts – living and working in the heart of Paris, in the beautiful Marais quartier. My studio overlooked the Seine and the Ile Saint Louis opposite.
I spent three months making drawings and destroying them. The information I collected was dense, yet confusing. One distinct thing I noticed was the bed I slept in. All the artists at the Cité are given single beds to sleep in and the studios themselves are very austere. It was a weird contrast: living in one of the most culturally and visually rich cities on earth, in domestic surroundings of institutionalised and drab austerity. When I lay in that bed during the night, my thoughts and impressions of the Parisian day would collect in my head in an intense over-abundance. Somehow, on occasion that over-abundance would transfer itself to the furniture – the bed would swell, the building would weigh itself against my chest. The relationship between mind and object was transferred, fluid and shifting.
I tried to describe these sensations in a series of watercolours, High bed 1994. And several years later, in 1998, this became a large object, High bed. It changed a little and became its own form, but these were my initial experiences that formed the basis for the work.
I wanted to make a bed that wasn't really a bed – you couldn't sleep in this bed. It is also like a big minimalist white cube, with just enough information to think that it might be a bed. The weight of culture is recorded in that bed. This bed also registers anxiety and dislocation, its state of mind. The mercurial mirror disc registers a space above the bed so that the viewer can look upon the scene with distance.

Subtle changes in messaging can have a profound impact on the effectiveness of charitable messages such as calls for blood donations, according to research published March 6 in the open access journal PLOS ONE by Eileen Chou from the University of Virginia and co-author Keith Murnighan at Northwestern University.
Though chronic shortages in U.S blood banks could be alleviated by a small increase in the number of blood donors, people are not always motivated enough to help. In the current study, researchers collaborated with the Red Cross to assess the effects of changing the urgency and messaging of a call for blood donations. The scientists found that on a college campus, describing blood donations as a way to "prevent a death" rather than "save a life" significantly increased the rate of donations.
In a second study, the researchers assessed the effects of these slight changes in framing a charitable message on people's emotional motivation for a monetary donation. Here, they found that framing an appeal as "helping people to avoid a loss" rather than "helping people to gain benefits" led to increased intentions to volunteer and more helping behavior. Volunteers presented with such "prevention of loss" messages were also more likely to expect larger donations to their cause. "These findings demonstrated a simple, reliable, and effective method for charities to significantly increase important helping behaviors," Chou said.

German reports had suggested the Russian has found new sponsors and was on the cusp of sealing the deal to secure his place at the team for 2013.
"So far, we haven't managed to find new sponsors," Petrov's manager Oksana Kosachenko is quoted by R-Sport.
"Where do journalists get this information from? I'm a journalist myself and I know very well how this can just pop into someone's head."
She admitted Petrov is not close to sealing the deal.
"At the moment there are a lot of unanswered questions," said Kosachenko. "There are too many nuances that need to be sorted out.
"We're at the waiting stage, which is linked to the team's restructuring. We completely depend on them and can't speed anything up."
Caterham has already signed 2012 Marussia driver Charles Pic, and at the weekend technical boss Mike Gascoyne hinted it is likely Petrov's 2012 teammate Heikki Kovalainen will be dropped.
Alongside Petrov, it was believed the sponsored drivers Bruno Senna and Giedo van der Garde were also in the running to be Frenchman Pic's 2013 teammate.

It only took a month.
Target Corp. first divulged a breach involving 40 million credit- and debit-card accounts on Dec. 19. It later revealed that information on 70 million customers — including names, addresses and phone numbers — had also been hacked.
Customers (and who doesn't shop at Target?) are understandably outraged. State regulators are investigating. Congress is demanding an inquiry. Lawsuits are piling up. And shareholders are feeling the pain: The company's stock price has declined about 3 percent since Dec. 18.
Monday, Gregg Steinhafel, Target's chief executive officer, attempted to make amends in an open letter to customers (the company prefers to call them "guests"). Target plans to form "a coalition to help educate the public on the dangers of consumer scams," the letter says, and it hopes to "accelerate the conversation — among customers, retailers, the financial community, regulators and others — on adopting newer, more secure technologies that protect consumers."
Target's guests seem to have accelerated their education already, thank you, as the store's U.S. sales were "meaningfully weaker" after the disclosure, according to the company. Nevertheless, Steinhafel is onto something important with the suggestion for better technology.
The most important step U.S. retailers can take in response to this breach (Neiman Marcus Group and several other merchants were also hacked about the same time) would be to speed adoption of encrypted smart-chip credit cards, which are more secure than the antiquated magnetic-stripe cards most Americans use. The U.S. lags behind much of the developed world in adopting the technology, which can significantly reduce counterfeiting scams, the largest kind of credit-card fraud. Card companies and retailers plan to reform fraud liability in ways that will encourage the smart-chip cards, but not until the end of 2015. The sooner that shift can happen, the better.
Other technological reforms to consider are mostly common sense. Retailers should encrypt the data that moves between their cash registers and financial institutions. They should make use of multilayered security procedures, which can help ensure employees don't accidentally compromise the company's data. And they should share information about intrusions and threats — especially when it comes to software vulnerabilities and supply-chain risks — with their competitors. The financial- services industry, which has made great strides in beefing up its online defenses, offers a good model.
A few cultural changes might also help. Companies can no longer afford to think of cybersecurity as an issue only for the guys in IT. They should ensure their employees, even low-level ones, are trained to follow best practices when it comes to protecting customers' information. And responsibility for cybersecurity policy needs to reside with senior executives, as an integral part of a company's risk management. When a breach occurs, finally, companies should be transparent — and prompt — in informing customers about exactly what went wrong.
Target hasn't been excessively speedy in responding to this intrusion. It can make up for its tardiness by investigating thoroughly, and ensuring the damage is minimized the next time. Because if there's one thing all retailers know, it's that there will be a next time.

Victorian Wicker in My Bed Room. |
3 Piece set on side porch. |
More Victorian in My Bed Room. |
Often a frame is made of stiffer materials, after which more plant material is used to fill in the frame. Wicker is light,yet sturdy,making it suitable for furniture that will be moved often. It is often used for patio and porch furniture.
Wicker furniture has been documented as far back as ancient Egypt, and wicker baskets have been found in the ruins of Pompii It has been suggested that the extensive use of wicker objects in the Iron Age had a influence on the design of patterns used in Celtic Art.In recent times, its aesthetic was influenced heavily by the Arts and Crafts movement, at the turn of the 20th century.The oldest and most prominent North American manufacturer of wicker was Heywood-Wakefield of Mass.
In the by-gone Victorian era,the Golden Age of American Antique wicker furniture , the designers and the craftsman of the those years, was who skillfully created the imaginative and romantic pieces of wicker furniture that are being recongnized by leading authorities and museums to have contributed significantly to the American decorative Arts of 1870-1930.These makers were , Heywood Brothers and the Wakefield Brothers that finally joined together to become The Heywood -Wakefield Company.

There are two types of wicker available, natural or synthetic. Natural is well known for it's strength and durability and is loved for it's beauty and comfort, although requires some up keep, to keep it in good condition. Synthetic types include paper wrapped high tensile wire(Lloyd Loom) a process patented in early 1900's. And Plastic or resin -usually for out door use. This is what we see most of on todays market.
Victorian era was when wicker furniture was first introduced and this type of furniture is still much loved in this day and age. Some pieces have the appearance of having been knitted by way of a very big pair of needles. Wicker harmonizes with just about every decor.
Wicker was one of the first natural materials to be used for furniture. Egypt,Rome and Europe, as international sea traders, carried wicker wares to Great Britain and finally America. From the classical pieces of ancient Egypt to Modern day outside furniture , America-wicker furniture has survived and flourished through centuries and many cultures. By the 19th century,Victorian era in England, wicker had become an important element for outdoor and indoor furniture. Wicker became popular for use in both the home and the garden. As it's simplicity and flexibilty lent itself toward a variety of different furniture styles and designs. While the first wicker furniture came to America with travelers on the Mayflower-it would not experience widespread popularity in the New World until the mid-19 century. Rattan, the most common material for wicker furniture , was originally used to hold freight on ships, traveling from Asia. In 1850 Cyrus Wakefield discovered a large pile of rattan on the shipping docks in Boston and became fascinated by the material. He began his own rattan importing company in Boston and making his own line of wicker furniture from rattan And he became the industry leader in wicker, at that time. In 1869 some one invented a loom that could automatically weave wicker, until then all wicker was made by hand, and nothing has been the same since.
Wonderful pieces in the basement that need lots of help! |

Antique wicker products are highly sought after by todays collectors. Reproductions have been made for years. It is not hard to soon learn to tell the old from the newer. The old, if cared for properly will just seem to last for ever. The new wicker, never seems to hold paint and comes apart when left in the elements. The new wicker makers never seem to get it just right. Where one part look pretty good the other parts are out of scale or over or under done.
I have had a love affair with antique wicker furniture for many years. I have always been drawn to the fancy Victorian over the plainer. I usually have a mixture of both, as the plain seems to be more durable , while the Victorian can be rather fragile.I have 5 porches full now at,My Old Historic House, my bed room is full and so is the basement. I can not seem to resist a piece that is in need of repair. I keep telling my self, I will get it done some day and some day never seems to come. I had a lot of my beautiful, fancy, Victorian wicker damaged during the 2008 big flood that took place at my house which is just a few 100 feet from the Mississippi River. I had it on the front porch and while it was safe from the rising river it was not safe from the workers who helped out. People had to spend the night on the porch to watch the pumps and I am afraid the hard use took its tole on the wicker. I should have moved it, but during the panic and excitement it slipped my mind. Now it too lives in the graveyard of wicker in my basement. When I finished my bed room, the last room I had to do in my house, I had some stored there and it looked so pretty against the dark olive green walls that I just left it there. I picked out some of my favorites and clean them up and gave them a coat of fresh white paint and I really like it there.I have all the wicker from my front porch in storage at the moment as we are now dealing with another possible flood. A hard lesson, well learned.
Wicker takes some care. Every year in the spring, I give it a good washing. About every 2 or 3 years it needs to have a coat of fresh paint.Some people spray, I perfer to hand brush. If it ever starts pealing it is very hard to control and a lot of scapping and sanding has to be done. There are a lot of people out there that repair and restore old wicker. It is an art and takes patients and time. Supplies can be purchased for, "do -it- your- selfers", like me and they are not expensive. Sheet caned seats and card board pressed seat are available for missing bottoms. Mostly it takes patients.
I hope you enjoy my Victorian wicker, maybe someday you can come by and take a tour. I will get you a glass of sweet tea and you can set a spell on the porches in some of the wicker and Sissy Dog will meet you with a jump and and a kiss. Happy Spring!

Joe Spencer plays the title character in this typical experimental film from Andy Warhol.

Money; pitch and toss. Hilaire le Gai tells us that some of the ancient French coins had a cross, and others a column, on the reverse; the column was called a pile, from which comes our word "pillar," and the phrase "pile-driving." Scaliger says that some of the old French coins had a ship on the reverse, the arms of Paris, and that pile means "a ship," whence our word "pilot."
"A man may now justifiably throw up cross and pile for his opinions." —Locke: Human Understanding.
Cross or pile. Heads or tails. The French say pile ou face. The "face" or cross was the obverse of the coin, the "pile" was the reverse; but at a later period the cross was transferred to the reverse, as in our florins, and the obverse bore a "head" or "poll."
"Marriage is worse than cross I win, pile you lose." Shadwell: Epsom Wells.
Cross nor pile. I have neither cross nor pile. Not a penny in the world. The French phrase is, "N'avoir ni croix ni pile " (to have neither one sort of coin nor another).
"Whacum had neither cross nor pile." Butler: Hudibras, part ii. 3.
