It baffles me when people who are deeply concerned about peace and peacemaking define themselves as "spiritual but not religious." In pursuit of personal and/ or global peace, they shun organized religion in favor of indigenous spirituality. Celtic music, eastern spiritual disciplines like yoga and meditation, and the Native American relationship with nature all seem so attractive and obviously non-violent. I actually have nothing against any of those expressions of spirituality – allow me to offer as proof the trip my husband and I will be taking in July. We will be touring Northern Ireland to enjoy the "storytelling, music, art and peace" of Celtic culture "ancient and new. Great food, inspiring art, and beautiful journeys on foot will form the heart of this soulfully unique and transforming experience." Sounds great, doesn't it?
Normally this sort of description would not entice me. It sounds vaguely new age-y, all too "spiritual but not religious". So why am I going? Because one of the tour leaders is my friend and brilliant cultural critic, the founder of the Wild Goose Festival, Gareth Higgins. Gareth understands that alternative forms of religiosity and spirituality are a necessary part of the revival of Christianity that is going on today, but he also understands that without "religion", the pursuit of peace is at a serious disadvantage.
I am aware that such a claim runs counter to the primary reason many people give for being spiritual but not religious. They blame religion for violence and war, and there is no denying that many people have killed in the name of their beliefs. Somehow those who abandon organized religion believe that the cure for violence is to purge themselves of religious texts and doctrines that have any reference to violence in them. Why read the Old Testament or believe in a God who requires the death of an innocent victim to be reconciled to us? How could that possibly lead to a more peaceful world?
Gareth Higgins is also a movie critic, and author of Cinematic States: Stories We Tell, the American Dreamlife, and How to Understand Everything. One thing he has taught me is that there is a world of difference between movies with violence in them and movies about violence. By that he means that some movies use violence in an unthinking way, to be provocative and scandalous. But there are movies about violence that challenge our thinking and challenge myths we hold dear. Those movies undo our ability to distance ourselves from complicity in violence. But they can only challenge what we think and believe about violence if they have violence in them! Movies about violence that were perfectly cleansed of violence, would be as impossible as teaching about cooking without reference to food.
This is why there is so much violence in Judeo-Christian scriptures and theologies. Ours is a religion about violence, our violence. Religion can be defined as the practices and beliefs employed by humans to contain our violence. If you are a spiritual but not religious seeker after peace, please do not deceive yourself into thinking that if you ignore the problem of violence it will go away. It will only go away if you learn all you can about it, if you read those bloody, ancient texts and learn to spot in them the great human sin of justifying our violence by blaming God for it. Because these texts are both diagnosis and warning, our shame is all the greater for interpreting the Cross as evidence of God's violence.Gareth and I both work with mimetic theory which is an anthropological theory of human violence. What it has taught us is that you don't need fancy theologies to explain Jesus death because the violence at the Cross can be explained entirely in human terms. The Cross represents what humans have always done: habitually scapegoated innocent victims in order to keep and maintain the peace in our communities. That is violent atonement: it's what we do. Reading those violent Scriptures through the lens of this anthropological understanding allows us to see the truth about ourselves and why God's intervention in human affairs was so very necessary to our survival as a species. Without God's patient suffering of our violence, even unto death, we would never have been able to see what we were involved in. In fact, Jesus acknowledges that even as we crucify him, he must intercede for us begging his father to forgive us for "we know not what we do."
If you desire peace, but reject the knowledge about human violence that religion offers, I'm afraid that your project will fail. Which is not to say that religion's truth about human violence offers us any guarantees of success. Jesus himself vacillated between hope and despair on this point. That is what the apocalyptic texts in the Gospels are all about. Visions of wars and plagues are not about God coming to destroy the earth at the end of days, but about us destroying ourselves. Because I know that Gareth knows this, I am looking forward to engaging with Celtic spirituality in the hands of a peacemaker whose eyes are wide open. The world is full of beautiful expressions of God's presence and human creativity. Coupled with religious truth they can be invaluable tools for remaking ourselves and our world into a more peaceful place.

Showing of Ella Clifton Hmmmm as interesting as it is, I can't help but feel sad that traditional toys are being kicked off the top spot :-( What happened to the lovely wooden toy sets and hand painted stuff we used to play with when we were kids? I know kids have to move with the times (and maybe I do) but all these top new toys look a bit plastic for me... Trendy Wendy 2 I totally agree! Was thinking that exact same thing... spooky. I know children love all the gimmicky stuff, I just wish toys were more like they used to be! youngmummy Sorry but I always wanted the plastic rubbish when I was bought the lovely wooden toys as a child! Don't see why everything has to be battery opereated though. Although I've yet to find any lego sets that rival the Fabuland that I had as a child and my dad had saved for the grandchildren! Uh-oh!

10 ways to save your curls this summer
Heat, salt water, chlorine--all of these things can combine to make the summertime a series of bad hair months for those of us who struggle with taming frizzy curls.
Don't despair! There are some fool-proof ways to heal your hair and get bouncy, beautiful curls all summer long. Here are 10 tips to save your hair from the heat:
1. H20 is your friend, not foe! Sure, chlorine and salt water can wreak havoc on your hair, but rinsing your tresses with plain, old, regular water BEFORE you go swimming can help create a barrier to keep your hair from drying out.
2. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize: Stay hydrated inside and out. Make sure to coat your hair with a moisturizing hair oil like Argan or an oil-based frizz treatment before heading outside. Also, drink tons of water! If you're dehydrated, it will show in your skin and hair.
3. Sweaty doesn't always mean dirty! Replace your normal shampoo and conditioner with a conditioning cleanser and don't wash your hair every day. A thorough water rinse can be enough to rid hair of sweat and impurities.
4. Slather on conditioner BEFORE and AFTER you go swimming. Use a leave-in with SPF everyday and apply a deep conditioner immediately after swimming to prevent damage.
5. Go natural. Summertime is NOT the season to decide you want stick straight hair if your locks are naturally curly. Don't fight your natural texture, embrace your curls and drop the heating tools.
6. Braids are your best friend. Whatever you do, do NOT twist your hair into a tight pony or bun while it's wet. This is a sure fire way to get split ends along the middle of your hair shaft. Instead, opt for braids, which will give you cool texture and keep your hair off your face!
7. Hats can make you happy. Sun is just as damaging for your locks as it is for your skin! Grab a hat or a hair scarf before heading out into the summer weather. Bonus: there are a ton of cute styles and hairdos that work with scarves!
8. Avoid chemical treatments and coloring before you go on vacation. The last thing you need to do to your hair before it bakes in the sun is to expose it to harsh chemical treatments. During the summer months opt for gentler hair color options like semi-permanent and henna dyes.
9. Dry shampoo is an ace secret weapon. Feeling like your scalp is greasy but the ends are still dry? Buy a good dry shampoo and use it to absorb any excess oil at your roots. Added bonus? It totally gives your locks bombshell body!
10. Wash your hair at night. This gives it time to dry before you head out into the heat & humidity, dramatically upping your chances of maintaining your hairstyle the next day. Plus, you can play with your texture by braiding your hair in different size chunks for beachy waves.

Release Date: May 28 Studio: Warner Brothers (New Line) Genre: Comedy Director: Michael Patrick King Writer: Michael Patrick King Cast: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristen Davis, Cynthia Nixon, Chris Noth, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler, Jason Lewis, Mario Cantone, Willie Garson Studio Description: Not Available • Watch the Trailer
Analysis: Sex and the City opened to $57 million in May 2008 on its way to a cumulative gross of $152.6 million, reaffirming that a ton of money can be made with a movie appealing almost entirely towards women. As expected, a sequel was fast-tracked, and, exactly two years later, Carrie and the gang are back on the big screen for Sex and the City 2.
Historically, sequels to female-driven movies have not replicated the successes of the originals. From parts one to two, Bridget Jones dropped 43 percent, Miss Congeniality dropped 55 percent, and Legally Blonde dropped 7 percent. These were accompanied by a perceived decrease in quality as well. Box Office Mojo readers gave each of the originals a "B," while the sequels received either a "C" or "C+." It's also important to note that the first Sex and the City benefitted from pent-up demand, coming four years after the television series ended, and the novelty of seeing the characters on the big screen. These factors will be diminished for the sequel, no matter how well liked the first movie was.
May is a month frequently devoted to big budget blockbusters geared towards young males, and this May is no different (Iron Man 2, Robin Hood, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, etc.). This should be to the advantage of Sex and the City 2, which is positioned as the first must-see alternative for the other half of the population. Scheduled for Memorial Day weekend, Carrie and company could make a serious statement at the summer box office.

I worked in safe mode and installed malware it worked for maybe 2 minutes it disappeared off the screen and then an error message popped up.
Windows can not access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
Some one said that starting the computer in safe mode and running malware and spybot would help. It did not work.
Any suggestions?

I regularly backup my documents...but this is the first time under OS X that I've tried a backup and clean install. Here are my questions: 1.

If anyone has any real world advice on using the Backup utility that came with .Mac, I'd appreciate it. I use it to backup my documents, but I've never had to actually restore from it (knock-wood).

Droughts and paying to use public toilets are part of the plot of Gardner-Webb University�s next musical.
�Urinetown the Musical� is about a town with a water shortage due to a drought. A large company uses the drought as a front to take money from the people by outlawing personal toilets and having them pay to use public toilets.
�We chose this play because it�s really fun and, despite its title, it�s clean,� said Chris Nelson, director and assistant professor of theatre at Gardner-Webb. �The play is a satire and offers a different kind of music for our students.�
In the musical, the daughter of one of the wealthy business owners falls for a man who wants to start a revolution against the laws. Those who violate the toilet laws are sent to a place called Urinetown and never heard from again, Nelson said.
�The play is really fun and, as a satire, speaks to issues we can deal with today in a quirky kind of way,� he said.
Auditions for the play are open to Gardner-Webb students and the public. During a 10-minute slot, those auditioning are asked to perform a 30- to 60-second monologue and bring 16 bars of a song.
Audition times are available in 10-minute slots between 5 and 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Call-backs will be Friday, and rehearsals will begin at the beginning of January when students return from holiday break.
�We want to put on a performance that people will remember, be entertained and have a good time,� Nelson said. �It�s an intelligent piece and a great opportunity to perform different styles of music.�
�Urinetown the Musical� will be performed Wednesday, Feb. 13 to Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013.
Reach Jessica Pickens at 704-669-3332 or email@example.com . Follow on Twitter at @StarJPickens.
Want to audition?
Those interested in auditioning for "Urinetown the Musical" should reserve a time slot by emailing Nelson at email@example.com.

Kale's one of those foods that January was made for. Everyone's trying to shed their holiday pounds, but you've still got that snacking urge. And, handily enough, it's best eaten in January when the stuff is filling the field and can be brought fresh.
It's great in smoothies, you can stream it, stew it, and if you really wanted too you could nibble it raw. And while all these ways are great, and seeing your banana and mango smoothie turn from yellow to green is particularly fun - they're all a bit time consuming.
And while I have a mountain of work piling up besides my laptop, I'm trying (and failing) to minimise my kitchen time, and maximise my typing time. And that is where crispy kale comes in. It sits beside my laptop all afternoon and fights off my hunger pangs.
Not to mention it tastes just like the crispy seaweed that you get from your local Chinese takeaway - minus the excess fats, oils and calories.
But, the best part? It takes less than 10 minutes to make, tastes delicious and has a lot less calories in it than a bag of crisps.
All you're going to need is half a bag of kale, salt, your oil of choice and a sprinkle of sugar.
Pre-heat your fan oven to 220○c
Finely chop your kale, making sure that you've removed the vein before hand and scatter evenly onto a baking tray. Season with salt, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with sugar.
Place in the oven for 6-7 minutes - the kale should have deepened in greenness but not turned brown.
Pour into a bowl and nibble your way through the afternoon.

An Israeli officer was killed overnight Monday by friendly fire near the northern Gaza border, Israel's army said.
"The IDF confirms an IDF officer was killed overnight following misidentified discharge during routine activity adjacent to the security fence in the northern Gaza Strip. The circumstances of the incident are being investigated," an Israeli army spokeswoman told Ma'an.
An Israeli soldier mistakenly shot the officer after believing he was a "terrorist," Israeli news site Ynet reported.
The officer was on top of an armored personnel carrier when he shot and was no more than 20 meters from the other soldier, Ynet said.

It happens in the hood and out in the 'burbs, see them hangin' and slangin' out by the curbs, cars cruise by making the scene, down by the mall and out on the green. It happens to the lowly, it happens to the high, when the river of money abruptly runs dry.
It happens to the quick and those who hesitate, and now it has happened to our very largest state.
California, O California, always on the cutting edge, now you are standing on a fiscal ledge. California, O California, always ahead of the scene, is thinking of going really, truly green. The only way out of their deep financial grief is at last to turn to our special sacred leaf. In this crisis so full of rants, tears, and sighs, the only escape is to legalize. To cover the shortfall, fill in the cracks, send muggles to market, and collect the tax.
California has a unique referendum system. Anyone can propose a law.
For $200 and with the signatures of 5 percent of voters who voted in the most recent gubernatorial election, a referendum can get on the ballot to become a law. With 8 percent, it can go on the ballot as a constitutional amendment.
In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 as a constitutional amendment.
Prop 13 limits real estate taxes to 1 percent of the cash value of the property. The baseline for such values was set at 1975 prices. Increases in valuation are limited to 2 percent a year, except when a property is sold, at which time the sale price establishes a new value.
Prop 13 also requires a two-thirds majority in the state legislature and in local legislatures to increase other taxes, including sales taxes and income taxes. Even at its most liberal moments, California has a large, significant, and immovable conservative minority. Passing tax increases is impossible, as Governor Schwarzenegger, like all the governors since Ronald Reagan, has discovered.
Prop 13 was, and remains, hugely popular. It was also hugely influential. Since then, tax cuts have become our national theme song and tax hikes have become almost impossible anywhere.
At the same time, costs don't go away. If anything, they continue to increase.
With the Crash of 2008, which has continued as the recession of 2009-10, tax revenues in all states have fallen sharply. States search frantically for compensating cuts, but their costs include things that can't be cut for practical reasons, for political reasons, or because they are mandated by other state laws, federal laws, or the courts.
In 1996, California once again led the way and passed Prop 215 (55.6 percent in favor, 44.4 percent against), which legalized the medical use of marijuana. There are now 14 states where medical marijuana is legal. The closest to us are New Jersey and Vermont.
Marijuana, for any purpose whatsoever, remains illegal under federal law.
The Bush Administration had the DEA raid medical marijuana distributors, and make arrests, and had federal prosecutors send people to prison even when they were operating under contracts with California municipalities and in compliance with state law.
In October 2009, Obama's attorney general, Eric Holder said, "It will not be a priority to use federal resources to prosecute patients with serious illnesses or their caregivers who are complying with state laws on medical marijuana"—this was taken to mean that they would not prosecute – "but we will not tolerate drug traffickers who hide behind claims of compliance with state law to mask activities that are clearly illegal," which has been taken to be requisite, tough-on-crime, law-and-order rhetoric.
Several states and individual localities, departing from their state statutes, have decriminalized possession of marijuana. In New York, "possession of 25 grams (.88 ounces) or less of cannabis is a civil citation punishable by up to a $250 fine and a $100 court surcharge; stricter punishments exist for sale, cultivation, or subsequent offenses. If found in a public place with marijuana burning or in public view, offender can be charged with a misdemeanor, fined $500, and incarcerated up to 3 months." (Source: State by State Laws: New York. NORML. 2006.)
"First-time offenders of all marijuana possession laws and some marijuana sale laws are, with some exception, granted an automatic adjournment of their case in contemplation of dismissal ('ACD'), meaning that if the offender commits no crimes and abides by any conditions set by the court, his or her case will be automatically dismissed after six months." (Source: New York State Criminal Procedure Law Section 170.56. Laws of New York. 2009.)
In short, we now have a hodgepodge of legality, illegality, draconian penalties, and minimal penalties, depending on where you are and who happens to catch you.
The next step is legalization. In March, supporters of such an initiative got enough signatures to put it on the California ballot for this November.
There are lots of reasons to legalize marijuana.
First of all, there is not much cause for it to be illegal. It doesn't seem to do much harm. Okay, it tends to make some users fat and stupid. But not nearly so much as watching television or eating fast food. It may make some people a little crazy, but inertly so. They just lie there with their headphones on.
It certainly doesn't kill anyone, while many legal drugs do.
Deaths Caused by Drugs in the US Annually
Tobacco: 400,000
Alcohol: 100,000
All Legal Drugs: 20,000
All Illegal Drugs: 15,000
Caffeine: 2,000
Aspirin: 500
Marijuana: 0
Nowadays, lots and lots of people do it. Prosecution is necessarily selective and arbitrary. Indeed, so many people do it, that even with 840,000 arrests, as there were last year in the US, use just continues to increase.
The big argument for legalization is this:
"Legalizing marijuana would save $7.7 billion per year in government expenditure on enforcement and prohibition. $5.3 billion of this savings would accrue to state and local governments, while $2.4 billion would accrue to the federal government.
Marijuana legalization would yield tax revenue of $2.4 billion annually if marijuana were taxed like all other goods and $6.2 billion annually if marijuana were taxed at rates comparable to those on alcohol and tobacco."
(Source: "Budgetary Implications of Marijuana Prohibition in the United States," The Marijuana Policy Project.)
It's on the ballot, it's up for a vote, better write it down, better make a note, two thousand ten, in month eleven, turn the Golden State into stoner heaven. You owe it to Cheech, you owe it to Chong, to your beautiful mind, and your beautiful bong.

December was busier for me than I had anticipated. There were planned events like parties, and traveling by train (no, not the one pictured) to see my wife's parents. It was also a lot busier month of art sales than I'd planned, being that I didn't plan or promote anything. That was a real bonus for me!
The highlight of the month would have to be the trip by train to see Stacey's family. I recommend traveling this way, if you don't mind getting to your destination later than scheduled. A mudslide put an 8 hour delay on us in Spokane, however, this also meant that we were able to travel through Montana and Glacier National Park in the daytime. Which I guess is something that rarely happens; usually you travel through at night. It was hard to take in all the beauty, as it passed by it so quick. I absorbed as much of it as I could, with my face pasted to the window.
My son met a lot of friends and family for the first time. He's not shy, loves to dance, and makes everyone laugh. Where does he get that from? Stacey had the opportunity to see a lot of people that are very dear to her, and I was brought along to eat Lefse and sugar cookies. I did my part.
2013 is off to a busy start. Many things planned. Lots of new art to be revealed. Stay tuned.

text: Back yard cooks need special pampering - with new grills, supplies and tools. Go portable with smaller setups or lay out a spread with propane or charcoal fired units. Utensils are also an important part of the outdoor experience. Longer handles protect from the heat and make poking, prodding, turning and transport much easier. These are excellent gifts for any grilling guru.

His supporting parents soon gathered the money to send their son to screenplay school in New York a few curtail years later.

That same year, Pitt took the outrun as a reclusive young man in the dark stage play Rhinoceros Eyes, and also appeared in a supporting capacity in the John Holmes crime drama Wonderland.

Hey, if any you guys see a fat, brown hamster running around, could you send him back this way please? He's an evil looking guy who answers to either FatBastard or BullyBoy (but not by his real name, Kobe).
Three days and we lost one already. If you were hamster, where would you hide?
*UPDATE* At 1:30 a.m., as we were getting ready to give up the chase, the little thing appeared in the kitchen, looking up at us as i to say "I told you not to wait up for me. Geeeez!"

Occasionally I write personal things. I don't often because I like to maintain the view that I am a hard nosed bitch who can deal with most things, even that the country that she loves is going down the crazy.
And I do love this country. I was walking across a royal park today in the most beautiful light. I paused on my favourite spot in London, which was a million miles away from the London social life I occupy of the Ritz, Annabels' and house parties in Chelsea after expensive dinners. Yes, I am lucky enough to be able to partake in those, although who knows why these people invite me because I am not rich.
But this week I have been feeling utterly miserable. It wasn't just because I discovered a nasty event in my life, but because even as I walked across Westminster bridge this evening, as the sunlight was dipping and tinting the Thames a heart wrenching pink...the waves rippling, the light gently kissing the roof tops of such ornate buildings as Somerset House, or the majesty of Canary Wharf and the progression it illustrates.
The people whom I have probably walked passes a million times, but in my London ways never seen as anything other than an inconvenience to me catching my train. Those people with lives and goals just like me, who find the burger wagons smelly and offensive to the majesty that is London. The flocks of people from all over the globe, concentrated in one area we are told is the answer...no matter what your question.
It's money that seems to draw people to London, but if they just look at that majestic city for nothing more than that, they must be the kind of people who only like music if someone else has told them they like it.
The hours I could spend, looking at the ancient glory that is the Tower of London. The history, the pain, the torment that took place to make this country what it should be. What it has been, what I would give my life for it to be, what it must be for democracy in Western Europe to remain. And I feel that, just as this country started the industrial revolution leading to a massive growth in global wealth, and trade, we must do the same with democracy. The Houses of Parliament. Infant in our history and yet the grander of it...the beauty of everything inside, the gold ceilings, the beautiful mock Tudor paintings showing the people who acted in the destiny of our country. The knowing that all one has to do is walk down the corridor to see indications of the history of our democracy.
And yet what is happening? What was it that made the girl who thinks lifting weights is great fun and that kickboxing is a sport everyone should take up for the inevitable attack on their person be so down hearted?
It's this attitude we have in this country to the threat which is almost swallowing us. I have tried to publicise countless events in the European parliament, where MEPs we didn't even elect most of make most of the laws of our country.
Hans Gert Pottering, the EP President, has been granted a legal opinion by a committee of MEPs:
Democracy was pushed to the side today when the President of the European Parliament was awarded sweeping new powers.
German President Hans Gert Pottering requested that he have the right to decide when actions by MEPs were allowed, even if they had not broken the rules.
The move was taken after a group of Euro-MPs, including UKIP and some Tories, protested about the lack of transparency in the parliament and the way the EU had pushed aside any requests for referendums on the Lisbon Constitution.
But pro-Constitution MEPs decided to allow the president to forbid certain members from procedures, including Roll Call Votes to let the public see who had voted for directives, explanations of vote and points of order.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage attacked the decision today, calling it "a monstrous attack on democracy."
"This gives the European Parliament President the powers of dictatorship. It is anti democratic and could prevent the removal of the European Commission the next time there is a huge case of fraud, by the only people allowed to do so.
"The parliament have decided that some MEPs are more worthy than others, and therefore that some voters are more worthy than others.
"Eurosceptic opposition is no longer allowed in Brussels."
Can you imagine this happening in Westminster?
The House of Commons was stunned today when the Speaker, Mick Martin, awarded himself sweeping new powers to stamp out any opposityion to the government.
The Speaker said he feared that he did not take this unprecedented step then opposition parties in the chamber would continue to question and disrupt the government.
"From today I am stamping out ridiculous notions like points of order and motions on procedure he said. I will also stop the outdated practice of having properly supervised votes. We will use the show of hands method and if they prove wrong well it really does not matter" said the Speaker.
"It seems to me said Mr Martin that all these procedures may well have existed for centuries but this is 2008. No longer will I allow Parliament to be delayed by these tactics. They are after all solely used to disrupt the rights of other members or put another way the government."
After this announcement Tory leader David Cameron said he had accepted the job of returning to tv and to run BBC 3.
Vince Cable also resigned to take up a full time post as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing.
Can you imagine such an event being ignored by the British press? and yet the equivalent happened in Brussels and we heard nothing about it.
That's what depressed me. That the president of the European Parliament had been granted dangerous new powers, supported by Labour, Lib Dem and Tory MEPs including holding the commission to account, and it's not considered worthy of telling people
How come not?

You should stop drinking the decaffeinated 'lesbian' coffee!
I too was moved recently. As you might have seen from my blog post, the last Question Time really got my blood boiling. I feel I have been pushed over an edge I have not been over before. How dare these politico cunts hand away MY sovereignty, MY democracy, MY country?
Bring on the election. I am primed and ready to kick Maude's ass into next year.

London, Jun 17 (PTI) Singer Liam Gallagher says he at times indulge in drunk tweeting.
The 44-year-old rocker, however, does not wish "any harm" to anyone but admits he sometimes should avoid logging on after having few drinks, reported Femalefirst.
"Oh mate, Twitter is the best thing because obviously I have a love-hate relationship with the press and that. I like putting a few wrongs right, or just having a crack - Its all fun isnt it? I dont wish anyone any harm," he says.
Insisting it would be "boring" without having the social network to vent his frustrations, he adds: "If its all documented and robotic it would be boring, but yeah I do tweet and drink. Yeah, Im having a drink, so excuse the next tweet. I do like Twitter man, its good. Its good stuff." PTI SHD SSN

FUMES - Ari Marcopoulos & Matthew Barney Studio
Photographer Ari Marcopoulos' newest publication takes an in-depth look into the studio process of American artist and filmmaker Matthew Barney. Shot over four years, 'Fumes' depicts the activity within Barney's Long Island City studio from 2011 to 2014. Marcopoulos documented the day-to-day activity in the workspace, from the digging of an Egyptian death chamber to the flooding during Hurricane Irene, to the ongoing preparation for Barney's 2014 film epic 'River of Fundament': "I got sucked into taking photographs of the people working on the various projects, more and more it felt almost like a performance." The publication is comprised of black-and-white and full-colour spreads showing workers transporting, molding and fusing toxic materials, interwoven with an array of intricate pictorial montages, mirroring those of a negative.

text: Hello all. I/m just wanting your thoughts on this idea I had to try and up my youtube sub list. I have 10,000 twitter followers. I basically posted a tweet saying "subscribe to me on youtube and I will pick one of you and award $200 via paypal." Within half an hour I had 25 new subscribers. Might not seem like alot... But I thought, if I bought tweet adder and say 100 twitter accounts, and followed the maximu 1000 people per day on each account. Following 100,000 people per day, maybe possible. What do you think of that? I'm a bit of a newbie. Just wondering if it'd work, if tweet adder works for all of those amount of accounts. Obviously, I'm not trying to increase the followers primarily because if I have the tweet already up there before I follow, then people would see it when they come onto my page. Any help would be much apppreciated.

Yibu is a vision of a contextually aware and generated game with real world challenges. It uses sensors as tools to play with invisible data that surrounds us everyday, turning every home in an expanded playground for hidden and playful adventures.
As part of frogLabs initiatives, I had the chance to explore new ways of using sensing technology to go beyond quantification of our environment.
We use sensors to explore and discover the environment around us, to feel more connected to our context and to find ways control it. We use them to count, control, measure and mostly visualise it as numbers and graphs.
But what if we could transform them into something that allows you to explore and play? What if instead of a graph with numbers on a screen we would turn sensing into a game or a story to follow and solve?
Yibu is a set of tools with which to discover the world: sensors that are not hidden in black boxes, but toys to play with, to touch and to experience. It turns numbers and graphs into stories that can be explored.
Design Lead, in collaboration with Tao Lin, Kata Lee, Mingming Wang,Alex Ai, Paul Adams, More Tong and Phil Salasses.
Location: frog Shanghai 2015
Go to frog's website project page >
Press: Fastco Design
Using these sensors kids solve challenges by creating a better, healthier, favourable environment for the character and at the same time learn about the basics of temperature, sound, direction and light.
While a lot of games and learning apps teach kids aboutthe world through the screen,Yibu pushes them to learn by independently exploring their surroundings and breaking the barriers between the digital and physical world.
The game is contextual. We scrape some information based on a player's location to influence the environment of the game (e.g., if it rains outside it will rain in the game, if air- or water quality is poor the game might respond to these as well). We use these contextual parameters to trigger challenges or push for behavioural changes - If it's night, the bear will fall asleep.

Rochester Institute of Technology's Center for Multidisciplinary Studies has created a customized bachelors degree designed specifically for Xerox Services. The program allows qualified Xerox Services managers to earn either an associate or bachelor's degree in applied arts and sciences in two-and-a-half years of part-time study. It emphasizes concentrations in printing technology and service management and leadership.
The key to the program is its flexibility. In addition to awarding credit for coursework from other accredited institutions, the program also awards credit to those who have participated in various Xerox Services training programs. All courses are delivered online through distance learning, allowing for course access anytime, anywhere.
"Our partnership with Xerox Services is yet another demonstration of RIT's willingness to reach out to industry and provide an innovative and flexible multidisciplinary program that helps our partners meet their business goals through a top-notch academic program," says Jim Myers, director of RIT's Center for Multidisciplinary Studies.
The program culminates with a year-long capstone project that emphasizes the application of social sciences, humanities and communication in the context of each student's work in Xerox Services.
"This is an investment in Xerox's most important asset—our people," says Bill Steenburgh, senior vice president of Xerox Services. "We worked closely with RIT to develop a program that will prepare our leaders for the future by taking full advantage of RIT's unique combination of strengths. This is a key step towards our goal of being a benchmark employee growth and development organization."
With over 15,000 employees, Xerox Services is the largest division inside Xerox North America, providing print management, technical and professional services for a wide range of customers.
Twenty-three Xerox Services employees are currently enrolled in the bachelor's degree program. The associate degree program is slated to begin in February 2008.

There was some good news on jobs for Spain but more austerity is coming.
Spanish unemployment falls, more austerity promised
Spanish unemployment falls, more austerity promised
The total number of people out of work there fell by nearly 100,000 in June.
That is traditionally a good month for employment as the tourism season begins but this was the best June on record. It was also the third month in a row the jobless rate has fallen.
Economy Minister Luis de Guindos was cautious and warned it was too early to tell if this was a trend.
"The last thing I will do as economy minister is create false expectations. I know we are in a complicated situation and, regarding the figures, let's hope they're consolidated. What we have to do is keep working so this month's figure becomes consolidated," he said.
The number of people registered as jobless fell across all of Spain's 17 autonomous regions, with the country's dominant service sector taking on the bulk of new workers.
The jobless rate among under 25-year-olds, the worst affected by the crisis, fell by close to eight percent.
As the total number of jobseekers fell to just over 4.6 million, de Guindos also said the government is considering raising consumer, energy and property taxes to meet its deficit reduction target.
He told a business conference in Madrid: "We will make additional efforts so that we can guarantee fulfilling the deficit reduction objectives and we will have to look at which parts of the different areas of the administration need to make an additional effort."
The economy minister also told reporters that Spain's struggling banks could get their rescue money within weeks.
He revealed that talks over the terms of their bailout from a European fund are moving swiftly.
He said so-called 'bad banks', where toxic real estate assets are parked to be sold off later, would form part of the memorandum of understanding for European financial assistance due to be signed by 9 July.

In honor of Caleb finishing his first decade today, here are 10 facts about his first 10 years.
1. Caleb used to say he had an elephant brain because he could remember everything he'd ever heard or read. This is entirely true and makes life interesting for those of us who do not remember things as well as he does.
2. He is a great gift giver because he remembers the smallest comments people make about their likes and dislikes.
3. He is also easy to buy for because we always know exactly what he wants, yet he always seems surprised when he finds it in the package. I will be the first to admit we sometimes spoil him a little bit because of this fact.
4. Caleb is happiest when he is highest, messiest, or otherwise in the most amount of danger.
5. He has has more emergency room visits, hospital stays, and other therapies and appointments than the rest of my children combined. It's not even close.
6. While Caleb prefers quiet and being alone, he is often the most sought after sibling for playtime. He is rough and tumble, but gentle as a lamb with new babies.
7. Seven was a big year for Caleb: Black belt, First Communion, and a broken arm...all in the same week.
8. He routinely brings home a dozen books from the library and finishes them the first day.
9. Caleb insists that he is not creative and will not do anything willing if he can't instantly recall a "correct" answer. That being said, his brain is such a vast storage center of information when we can trick him into tapping into it, he makes incredibly insightful and, yes, creative connections and solutions to problems.
10. He prefers growling to smiling but if you can catch him at the right time you will not be disappointed!
Caleb has a half a page list of diagnosis that make living in and with his body a challenge on the best days and an outright struggle on the worst. Those diagnosis may say a lot about how we parent him (sometimes quite differently than our other children), but they say very little about who Caleb is and who I believe he will grow to be in the next decade of his life!

Data for Lasik Surgical Treatment PatientsThe Lasik operation can be a fantastic, life-altering option for many individuals whose vision is less than best. There are numerous various kinds of Lasik operations now offered, from the initial and well documented treatment to Lasik procedures done with three dimensional wavefronts, or done completely with lasers. Each of these variations of the Lasik procedure must be talked about with the physician that is to perform the operation.
Like any surgery, Lasik does have the potential for side effects.
Often checking out the scary stories of the results of a Lasik procedure can deter individuals from seriously considering such a choice. It is likewise true that the huge varieties of individuals who have a effective, hassle-free Lasik surgery tend not to report a long and comprehensive story of their experience, unlike those that have experienced difficulty later.
It is great to understand exactly what the possible side effects of the Lasik treatment are, and likewise the possibility that one of these side effects will occur for a specific client. Much like any medication we take, each has a possible variety of side effects, but we normally presume that the possibility of a severe side effect is little, and we take the medicine anyway. This short article will hopefully put concerns of the prospective Lasik patient into viewpoint so that they can calmly and attentively ponder having a Lasik procedure performed in the future.
More than one million Lasik treatments are performed in the United States every year, inning accordance with the FDA.

This varies by client, however this level of sensitivity is especially noticeable when taking a look at a brilliant light, such as a streetlight when strolling in the evening, or other strong light and dark contrast. Another light related negative effects is a halo around a light, and this occurs in 3.5 percent of Lasik clients.
The new, remedied vision can be observed quickly by some Lasik patients, in as low as a couple of hours after surgery. Most clients that have actually gone through the Lasik procedure discover the modification is long-term check out this site within a couple of days. In 2.6 percent of clients that have actually had a Lasik treatment done, there is consistent visual fluctuation within a minimum of a part of their sphere of vision.
Some clients do not get a fully corrected sphere of vision after their Lasik treatment. This happens with a small number of clients, and the FDA data are that only 3 percent of patients have this result. In all or nearly all cases, the physician in charge will carry out an additional Lasik treatment to enhance this.
This detailing of the major permanent side effects of the Lasik treatment must put any personal scary stories into perspective. Notification that none of the portions are above 3 percent, and this ought to bring convenience to a lot of prospective Lasik customers. However, it should likewise inspire them to look thoroughly at the Lasik physician's personal record.
There are numerous different types of Lasik operations now available, from the initial and well documented treatment to Lasik treatments done with 3 dimensional wavefronts, or done entirely with lasers. It is great to understand what the you can find out more possible side effects of the Lasik treatment are, and likewise the likelihood that one of these side results will happen for a specific patient.

For most Americans, April 15 is the big tax deadline each year. But for those who don't have an employer withholding money from their paychecks — namely, small-business owners — payments are actually due four times a year.
These quarterly estimated taxes are due in April, June, September, and January (the following year). Quarterly taxes are typically due on the 15th of the month, but when the 15th falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the deadline is pushed to the next business day.
Here are three lesser-known facts about quarterly estimated taxes, courtesy of Julian Block, a Larchmont, N.Y.-based tax attorney and author of Tax Tips for Small Businesses.
- Even part-time business owners may owe quarterly taxes. If you run your business on the side and hold down a full-time job with taxes withheld from your paycheck, don't assume you're off the hook for quarterly taxes. Block points out that in some cases, "you can increase your withholding to cover the taxes that are due on your salary and also to cover the taxes that are due on your self-employment income. If that's not your situation, then you need to make estimated payments."
- Quarterly payments can be based on your previous year's tax liability. Avoid sending in too much money and waiting for a return by following the IRS's safe harbor rule. If your adjusted gross income for the previous year was under $150,000, you can generally avoid penalties by making quarterly payments that are at least equal to what you owed the previous year. "Even if you fail to calculate how high your income is going to be, if you pay in a certain amount, you are assured you won't be subject to any penalties," he says. However, if your adjusted gross income for the previous year was $150,000 or more, you'd need to make payments of at least 110 percent of the previous year's tax liability to avoid penalties.
- Alimony payments factor into your quarterly taxes. If you own a business and also receive alimony payments, your quarterly estimated taxes should factor in both sources of income. "In a situation where a [divorced] woman who has her own business has to make estimated payments on her self-employment income," says Block. "For purposes of estimated tax payments, she needs to take into account not just income from self-employment, but also income from alimony."
