One group of important and powerful world leaders is the Presidents of the United States, all of whom came to power through the electoral process. This process has been modeled around the world, a model called the Democratic Republic, and attempts to mesh civil service with the voices of the people.Continue Reading
The United States electoral process gives citizens the right to select their president through something called the Electoral College. The college assigns a certain number of votes to each state, and then casts those votes in favor of the candidate who wins the state's counties and the majority of its votes.
Whichever presidential candidate garners the most electoral college votes is deemed the president-elect and will be asked to take the oath of office. This makes that candidate the president of the United States and bestows them with a great many explicit and traditional powers in the eyes of the people and service of the country.
Presidents like Theodore Roosevelt and George Washington came into office through the electoral process. This established precedent that has carried into the 21st century and created a relatively stable engine of selection for the nation's leadership. Congresspeople and senators are selected in similar but smaller-scale electoral processes in their home states.Learn more about Foreign Laws

Chrysler may have worn out the welcome on its "Imported from Detroit" tagline that debuted during the 2011 Super Bowl, but the company has no qualms about reworking that memorable line for another, fictional city: Gotham City, home of vigilante superhero Batman. In a new commercial shown online and on TV networks, Chrysler will show off a modified version of its 300S luxury sedan that is "Imported From Gotham City."
The fanciful clip uses brooding music from the upcoming film The Dark Knight Rises, and shows a warehouse in which technicians carefully disassemble a 2012 Chrysler 300S. They reinstall black wheels, matte-gray body panels, various weapon systems, and a rocket engine located in the rear bumper. The car, bearing the license plate "DK-300S", blasts out of the warehouse in a manner similar to the way Batman's famed Batmobile would exit his underground lair.
A spokesperson told us that a 2012 Chrysler 300S will be featured in the movie, and will apparently be driven by a government official.
The commercial arrives in part because Chrysler has formed a partnership with the producers of The Dark Knight Rises. At ImportedFromGothamCity.com, fans can use B-roll, music clips, and other elements to create their own 30-second commercial to advertise the Chrysler 300. A gallery of submissions will appear online June 30, and web users can vote for their favorite commercials.
Christopher Nolan, director of The Dark Knight Rises, will then pick his favorite commercial. The winning clip could be broadcast on national TV, while the creator will be flown to a red-carpet premiere of the new Batman film in New York City. Over 100 entries have already been submitted.
Of course, that's not the only online contest that Chrysler Group is running at this summer. The Dodge brand is asking smartphone-wielding fans to keep an eye out for transporters carrying the new 2013 Dodge Dart to dealerships. Between July 7 and July 28, people who sport a Dart transporter can upload a photo or video to a special group on photo-sharing site Flickr. Dodge will randomly pick 25 entries to win a $50 gift card to the Dodge Life Shop — entrants from Canada receive $50 Canadian to spend at the Chrysler Canada Dodge Brand Gear.
If you're thinking the Dodge Dart contest might encourage distracted driving, the automaker is one step ahead of you: Dodge will automatically disqualify any photo or video that appears to have been taken by someone driving.

Police are looking for two men suspected in a string of robberies in Dartmouth.
A knife was used in the robberies of two pizza shops and a convenience store last Sunday, Halifax Regional Police said in a news release Friday.
Police responded to the first robbery at Boston Pizza at 611 Portland St. at 12:36 a.m. Two men had demanded cash from an employee and one produced a knife. The employee yelled and two co-workers came to help. One suspect grabbed several bottles of liquor and as he was fleeing the restaurant, he struck one of the employees in the face causing a small cut. Some of the bottles were dropped in the parking lot as both suspects fled on foot.
Officers, including a K-9 team, were about to search the area when a second robbery was reported at 12:51 a.m. at the Needs Convenience Store at 303 Prince Albert Rd. The clerk reported that after two men entered the store, one selected two beverages and approached the counter. He pulled out a knife and demanded money and cigarettes. The clerk gave him cash and both suspects left the store on foot.
A K-9 unit search of the area didn't turn up anything.
Finally, police received a report at 6 p.m. Sunday about a robbery that had occurred at Ronnie's Pizza at 121 Main St. at 12:40 a.m. that day. Two men had approached the counter and one produced a knife and demanded money. Employees scared the suspects away and they fled empty-handed.
Investigators believe the same suspects are responsible for all three robberies. One suspect is described as white, in his late teens to early 20s, about five-foot-seven with a heavier build, pimples on his face, brown buzz-cut hair and a bit of scruff on his face. He wore a camouflage jacket, black hoodie, black hat, jeans and white shoes.
The second suspect is in his late teens to early 20s, about six feet tall with a slim build, shoulder-length brown hair, brown eyes and a scruffy beard. He wore a blue coat, grey hoodie, baseball cap, camouflage boots and blue jeans.
Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to call police at 902-490-5016.

WASHINGTON -- A House Judiciary Committee report released on Wednesday concludes that Attorney General Eric Holder gave "deceptive and misleading" testimony in May when he told Congress he had never been involved in a potential prosecution of members of the news media.
In the report, the Republican-led House committee accuses Holder of attempting to "circumvent proper congressional oversight and accountability by distorting the truth about the Justice Department's investigative techniques targeting journalists."
The report says it is difficult to square Holder's testimony with his approval of a search warrant application in 2010 calling a Fox News journalist a probable co-conspirator in a leak investigation.
Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said in a statement that Holder's testimony qualifies as "just the most recent example in a long list of scandals that have plagued the Department."
"I find the lack of leadership at the Department of Justice extremely alarming," he said.
Democrats have come to Holder's defense, saying in a report that Holder did not lie during his May testimony.
"After months of oversight work, the Minority staff report makes clear that Attorney General Eric Holder did not provide deceptive or misleading testimony to the Judiciary Committee, and cooperated fully with the investigation into his appearance before the Committee," Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) said in a statement.
In his testimony in May, Holder said that with regard to a potential prosecution of the press, that is not something he had ever been involved in.
In a defense of Holder, the Justice Department says that at no time before or after seeking the search warrant have prosecutors sought approval to bring charges against the reporter.

Published Document
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
We are advising the public that an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact have been prepared by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service relative to the release of three insect parasitoid species for the biological control of the emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis). The environmental assessment documents our review and analysis of environmental impact associated with, and alternatives to, the release of these biological control agents. Based on its finding of no significant impact, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has determined that an environmental impact statement need not be prepared.Start Further Info
Dr. Juli Gould, Entomologist, Otis Pest Survey, Detection, and Exclusion Laboratory, PPQ, APHIS, Building 1398, Otis ANGB, MA 02542-5008; (508) 563-9303 ext. 220.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
The emerald ash borer (EAB) (Agrilus planipennis) is a destructive woodboring insect that attacks ash trees (Fraxinus spp., including green ash, white ash, black ash, and several horticultural varieties of ash). The insect, which is indigenous to Asia and known to occur in China, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, the Russian Far East, Taiwan, and Canada, eventually kills healthy ash trees after it bores beneath their bark and disrupts their vascular tissues.
The EAB regulations in 7 CFR 301.53-1 through 301.53-9 restrict the interstate movement of regulated articles from quarantined areas to prevent the artificial spread of EAB into noninfested areas of the United States. The States of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio; Prince George's County, MD; and portions of the State of Michigan are currently designated as quarantined areas.
Despite State and Federal quarantines designed to contain EAB, the lack of effective methods to detect EAB-infested trees and the large area of EAB infestation has resulted in a shift in strategy by regulatory agencies from Start Printed Page 56721area-wide eradication to eradication in outlying areas and containment in the core infestation areas. In the United States, EAB eradication efforts involve the removal of all ash trees within a specified radius around known infestations. However, by the time an infestation is discovered and treated, EAB has usually already dispersed outside the eradication zone. Besides natural dispersal, the spread of EAB has been accelerated through human-assisted movement of infested ash firewood, timber, solid wood packing materials, and nursery stock. As EAB spreads in North America, regulatory agencies, land managers, and the public are seeking sustainable management tools such as biological control to reduce EAB population densities and to slow its spread.
On May 23, 2007, we published in the Federal Register (72 FR 28947-28948, Docket No. APHIS-2007-0060) a notice [1] in which we announced the availability for public review and comment of an environmental assessment, entitled "Proposed Release of Three Parasitoids for the Biological Control of the Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis) in the Continental United States" (April 2, 2007), that examined the potential effects on the quality of the human environment that may be associated with the release of three specific biological control agents to control infestations of EAB within the continental United States. APHIS and the Forest Service proposed to release the three parasitoids into the environment of the continental United States for the purpose of reducing EAB populations. These parasitoids are known to attack EAB consistently in its native habitat in China. Post-release monitoring of the spread and establishment of each parasitoid species and impacts on EAB and non-target wood-boring beetles will also be conducted.
We solicited comments on the environmental assessment for 30 days ending June 22, 2007. We received 41 comments by that date, of which 30 supported the release of the biological control agents to control infestations of EAB. The 11 comments that opposed the release are addressed at length in the updated environmental assessment.
In this document, we are advising the public of our decision and finding of no significant impact regarding the release of three insect parasitoid species for the biological control of the emerald ash borer. This decision is based upon the updated environmental assessment, entitled "Proposed Release of Three Parasitoids for the Biological Control of the Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis) in the Continental United States" (July 2007).
The updated environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact may be viewed on the Regulations.gov Web site [2] or in our reading room at USDA, room 1141, South Building, 14th Street and Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. Persons wishing to view the updated environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact are requested to call ahead on (202) 690-2817 to facilitate entry into the reading room. You may request paper copies of the updated environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact by calling or writing to the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Please refer to the title of the environmental assessment when requesting copies.
The environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact have been prepared in accordance with: (1) The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), (2) regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality for implementing the procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500-1508), (3) USDA regulations implementing NEPA (7 CFR part 1), and (4) APHIS' NEPA Implementing Procedures (7 CFR part 372).Start Signature

From the moment they were born, your child has been everything to you. Your love and devotion for them is unconditional; you'd do anything for them. From pre-school pickups to prom pictures, soccer snacks to parent-teacher conferences; you want to be there for it all, which makes your impending divorce so worrisome.
You want to create the best situation possible for them, but what about what is best for you? Your goal is to provide stability and consistency, but you also want to be their parent, like normal. How do you find that middle ground where you all are happy?
As a family lawyer, I know that regardless of whether your situation is amicable or dispute-ridden, at the end of the day, you and your ex-spouse want the best for your child. It's my goal to help you achieve that through a well thought out, customized custody agreement that suits your family's situation.
If you're starting custody discussions, it is likely that you have many questions, and even with the plethora of online resources at your fingertips, the answers don't necessarily apply to your unique situation. You may have questions concerning the court process and the different types of custody. Does my child custody arrangement stay if I move across state lines? Can I share custody with my child's grandparent or another family member? If my child's in foster care, can I still seek custody? Do my teenagers have a say in the process? What do I do if I have joint custody, but my ex-spouse won't let me see my child? Can custody arrangements be modified? If I get full custody will I receive child support?
Child Custody in St. Louis, Missouri
We all know that it isn't just a couple that goes through a divorce; it is the entire family. And when that family involves children, the painful divorce process doesn't end when you move out, sign the dotted line, and divide up the assets.
You weren't right for one another, but that doesn't mean you stop doing what is right for your children. The partnership with your spouse continues through your children, and a child custody arrangement determines what that partnership will look like. Child custody ensures a good, safe home for your child or children. When that is at stake, you don't want to leave anything to chance.
Under Missouri Law, there tends to be a predilection toward joint custody, but at Bardol Law Firm, LLC, we know that every case is different. Your family, and your family's situation, is unique. A child custody arrangement should reflect your lifestyle. What works for one family won't work for all of them. Some of the options include:
- Joint physical custody
- Sole physical custody
- Joint legal custody
- Sole legal custody
- Supervised visitation
Legal custody determines which parent makes decisions about school, religion, medical care, activities, and other critical issues affecting minor children.
Physical custody determines where the children live and attend school, and how and when they spend time with the other parent.
When a parent has sole, or primary, custody, they themselves have the rights and responsibilities that come along with custody. When it is joint custody, both parents work together and communicate about major decisions like education and health.
In some cases, a judge may grant parents joint legal custody, but sole physical custody to one. This means that while the parents work together to make decisions, the child only has one home. In many cases this includes visitation for the parent without sole custody. As you can see, you have options when it comes to custody agreements. The more you learn about them, the better decision you can make for your family. Contact my office so you can start learning the ins and outs of custody arrangements.
St. Louis Child Custody Agreement Mediation
When couples come to me together, the child custody arrangements are more of a discussion. It is a discussion that many consider to be the most important during the divorce process. We evaluate the circumstances of each parent, including finances, abuse history, addictions, habits, employment, and location. Ultimately, we want to answer the question: what is best for your kids?
When divorce proceedings are the furthest from cordial, emotions are heightened and child custody arrangements turn from a discussion to a dispute. It is easy to forget that just because your ex was a bad spouse doesn't mean they were a bad parent. Child custody arrangements are the time to set aside differences and consider the best plan of action for your child.
As a family law attorney, my experience, compassion, and levelheadedness help me facilitate and mediate St. Louis family discussions and disputes so the transition can be as smooth as possible. We want to avoid children being adversely affected by contentious legal battles. Ultimately we want to obtain fair and beneficial custody and visitation orders that both sides can accept. We are often able to provide cost-efficient solutions for our clients by avoiding court during agreements and drafting custody plans that benefit the children.
Creating a Child Custody Plan
While plans are discussed during the child custody agreement process, it is important to have a set one that you and your ex-spouse plan on sticking to. This is especially important when there is joint custody involved.
The most important aspect of this is consistency. This will not only help a child adjust to the separation, but also help you as well. If you remember that you are supposed to pick them up from school on Mondays and Fridays, you will be more likely to do so than when it is sporadic each week. Consider your work schedules and other commitments to figure out a plan that is best for you, while being consistent for your child.
Some parents opt for weekly schedules, and others opt for daily or monthly. It is important to make the decision and then stick to it, so make your plan and communicate it from the get go.
As a child custody attorney, I help with the formation of these plans during and after the agreements. Because I have worked with many families before, I have experience in knowing how some plans work and others don't. And the sooner we have this discussion, the better.
This process is overwhelming, to say the least. Divorce is not the only event that prompts these decisions. Many grandparents find themselves seeking custody of their grandchildren. Others have just established paternity of their child, and then want to seek custody.
Call my office, Bardol Law Firm, LLC, located in St. Louis, Missouri, and let's start getting your child custody arrangements in order.

Everything is negotiable at work.
- Your salary is negotiable.
- Your hours are negotiable.
- Vacation is negotiable.
- Health benefits are negotiable.
- Stock options are negotiable.
- Severance is negotiable.
Most of life is negotiable. See that sweater? It's okay. Not my absolute favorite — but I was chilly and needed something to wear while traveling. So I asked for a discount.
The store manager said, "I'll give you 20% off but you can't return it."
Joke's on you, sucker. I don't even live in your country.
Knowing that everything is negotiable doesn't mean you should ask to negotiate. I know some of you are creationists; however, evolution and natural selection should have taught you that it's best to observe a situation, prepare your case and use discretion to avoid failure.
If you think you can win and it is worth the risk, go ahead and try to negotiate. If you are in a position of weakness or too afraid to ask, you've already lost.

Laura Bell Bundy of 'Legally Blonde' Busts Out
Wearing platinum extensions, cowboy boots, and a tighter-than-tight dress, she tore through a set of songs from her new album — and almost her bodice.
Laura Bell Bundy's playing bubbly blonde Elle Woods in Broadway's Legally Blonde right now, but she's even more bubbly in real life, as she demonstrated at Birdland last night. See, Laura Bell (as she's known south of Manhattan) is also a country singer. Wearing platinum extensions, cowboy boots, and a tighter-than-tight dress, she pranced near a small fan (the better to blow up her skirt) and tore through a set of songs from her new album, Longing for a Place Already Gone — and nearly her bodice. We spoke to her after the show.
You've been living in New York for a while, but you grew up in Kentucky. What's been the biggest difference?
Well, I lived here from the time I was 9 till I was 14. We walked everywhere, it wasn't as clean, and there were homeless people talking to us. As an adult, people come to New York to be somebody, with a sense of, like, aggression and fight. It's more laid-back back home.
What's still the most country thing about you?
Maybe the way I cook! [Laughs.] Like hodgepodge, use everything in your refrigerator, see what you can make out of it. Everything has a sauce; everything's oversautéed. I really don't know what friends think of my cooking — they probably all lie to me! But come on … mashed potatoes and overcooked green beans with bacon bits, what's better than that?
Anything besides your cooking?
The way I speak, the way I carry myself. Sort of like sweet southern charm, but also, "don't mess with me." You don't dick with a Kentucky chick.
Do you do anything in New York to remind yourself of home?
I like to go to Delta Grill. Restaurants like Hogs & Heifers definitely give me that same vibe! And being outside, going to Woodstock upstate or Connecticut. I ran a lot growing up, at the horse park and through fields and things. I'd have keg parties in the middle of fields. Keepin' it classy!

Placing a few honey bee colonies along the edges of your cotton fields may increase the amount of lint that finds its way into your picker come harvest time, according to a recent study at Alabama A&M University.
Entomologist Kenneth Ward says that in the past it was difficult to introduce pollinating insects into cotton fields due to the heavy pesticide usage required for cotton production.
However, the increase in recent years to insect-resistant cotton crops and the adoption of boll weevil eradication programs have decreased the number of insecticide applications growers need to make, providing a better opportunity for honey bees to help work their magic.
Could the introduction of supplemental honey bees into a field planted in an insect-resistant transgenic cotton variety, increase cotton fiber yield potential? The short answer, Ward says, is yes.
A two-year on-farm study undertaken by entomologists at Alabama A&M University appears to show an increase in the amount of fiber produced per cotton boll.
"What we found the first year was that the per-boll yield went down significantly as you got further away from the bees," Ward says. "The second year we saw the same thing. And, although the yield findings still were significant, they weren't quite to the same degree as they were the first year of the study."
According to Ward's data, in the study's first year, the bee field yielded 1,184 pounds per acre, and the non-bee field yielded 1,046 pounds per acre.
The next year, the bee field yielded 1,313 pounds per acre and the non-bee field yielded 1,212 pounds per acre.
"These trends were detected in producer fields, with limited control over experimental conditions," he says. "The multi-year data from this study was consistent, and it suggests a positive impact of supplemental honey bees on cotton yield indicators in Bt cotton."
In the first year of the study, the bee colonies were placed in adjacent corners of one 140- to 160-acre cotton field with another similarly sized field without bee hives used as a control field. Both fields were irrigated using a center pivot system and both were planted in Bt cotton. The bee field was supplemented with approximately one hive of honey bees per acre of cotton.
The study was repeated the next year by simply switching the hives of honey bees to the same positions in the opposite "control" field.
In both years, the bee fields and the non-bee fields were sampled in multiple field locations to obtain cotton yield data and bee activity data.
To break down the cotton yield components, 20 one-to-two-day-old flowering cotton blooms were tagged per sample point weekly for four weeks. The resulting bolls were also collected and counted later in the season, after a defoliation treatment.
To obtain estimates of bee activity in the fields, the researchers at Alabama A&M counted the number of foraging bees within a 40-foot radius for a period of three minutes per sampling point.
The bee activity in the cotton field was as would be expected, Ward says.
"Once you got halfway into the field the bee activity fell off to the level in the non-bee field. There were still bees in both fields, but at different levels.
"This is a small study, but we feel it is reason enough to justify a larger study," he says.
"The research results strongly suggest that the introduction of honey bees into a Bt cotton crop can have a positive impact on yield potential."
An added benefit the Alabama researchers discovered was the successful production of honey in the hives along the cotton fields. The bee hives placed alongside the fields each yielded about 50 pounds of "very smooth" honey.

Dear sir/mam we are working on the capstone project to cache 1 million pages from us and canadian universities. Our first aim is to down load 800 to 1000 pages from each university web sites( before we applying the filtering algorithm on the cache). When we use checklink.pl on www.mit.edu we are getting 450 links( links which got processed) from the first 3 levels. At the same time when we check for www.cl.uh.edu for the same three levels we are getting only 54 documents. Even for the 4 level we are not getting more than 60 to 70 documents. Is there any way to process even the url with missing trailing slashes and redirected urls( final url after all redirections if multiple ). We dont want to consider those redirections as an error and wants to increase the no of links for processing. we could not understand from the code how to skip these kind of errors and start processing those links also. We obsereved that when we process http://www.cl.uh.edu all the internal links contain the different host strings ( different from cl.uh.edu like http://www.uhcl.edu/admissions and http://nas.cl.uh.edu/). we want to process all those urls which are linked to the main web site. Could you suggest some solution to this problem. we really appreciate for your help and your precious time. Thanks in advance sincerely, Muralikrishna.Received on Friday, 7 November 2003 14:00:15 UTC

The Miami Dolphins have more than a dozen free agents, but none is more critical to retain than nose tackle Paul Soliai, who serves as the anchor for the team's 3-4 defense.
However, many hurdles stand in the team's way.
The Dolphins have until today to decide if they will place the franchise or transition tag on Soliai, restricting his movement during free agency. But each designation requires substantial one-year contracts that would make Soliai one of the highest paid defensive tackles in the NFL.
Soliai, who had 39 tackles, two sacks and a fumble recovery last season, is seeking a multiyear deal that's more than the five-year, $20.5 million contract the Dolphins gave fellow defensive lineman Randy Starks in 2008.
Soliai's development last season helped the Dolphins become one of the stingiest units against the run, limiting opponents to 3.6 yards per carry.
The Dolphins have offered a couple of one-year deals to Soliai, a 2007 fourth-round draft pick who blossomed in 2010 after being a disappointment his first three seasons.
According to Soliai's agent, David Canter, both sides are actively talking, and the discussions are positive. However, Canter predicts Soliai will hit the open market once a new Collective Bargaining Agreement is reached and free agency begins.
One aspect that has handcuffed negotiations is the NFL's present 30 percent rule, which applies to renegotiated contracts.
The 30 percent rule states a player's salary in the upcoming year can't be more than 30 percent greater than the player's salary in 2010, which for Soliai was $467,000. For players still operating under the minimum base salaries of a slotted rookie deal, which Soliai is, that's a problem.
"We want to be here. We've said it day in and day out. We want to be here," Canter said. "As long as everything works out and there's a new CBA, we can negotiate in good faith without the limitations of the 30 percent rule.

Window Security In Homes
Windows are the main entrance points for most burglars to our homes. It is therefore important for each and every home owner to install windows that enhance security in our homes. This can mainly be by installing windows that have locks. The locks are usually on the interior part of the window hence the burglar would be forced to break the glass to access the lock and find his way in. few burglars will go this extent. They are obviously afraid of having to deal with cuts they may sustain as they are trying to break the glass.
However, to shun this from occurring, it is advisable for home owners to install a window safety film. This film usually holds the broken glass in place thus preventing it from getting detached. This saves a home owner from an expensive exercise of glazing replacement. Replacing one single window would cost a home owner an arm and a leg.
Surprisingly, most if not all of the intruders to our homes rarely use force or loads of their energy. Most of the time, they will simply look for a window or door that is open then find their way in to your house. Consequently, have a routine of ensuring that all the doors and windows are locked. You should even train your children to lock all doors and windows too. In this way, they start learning the basics of securing their homes in their early stages. Link here http://www.allfilmsolutions.com.au/home-window-tinting-in-melbourne/ offer a great products for your windows.
Secondly, fit all the windows of your homes with limiters. The purpose of limiters is to regulate the amount of air entering your room. They ensure only enough air is allowed into the room.
Glass windows allow light into your home during the day. It is also advisable to fit the windows with a solar window tint. The purpose of this is to protect your family from the harmful ultra violet rays of the sun. The sun is the sole source of light but if not regulated, its rays can be dangerous. In fact, the sun's rays are associated with causing skin cancer. In addition to this, the solar window film also serves to protect the interior design of the house from fading. The UV rays of the sun can cause the flooring, furniture such as tables and the curtain fabric all to fade in an instant.
With the increased emphasis on daylight, expansive windows have become the most preferred choice for home owners. Unfortunately, this allows ill motivated individuals to have a vivid view of your home. Window frosting is an idyllic way to improve the privacy in your home by obscuring vision. It turns clear glass into frosted glass. You can do this on your own without having to engage a technician.
A standard rule applied by most home owners is to have a large window that can serve as an emergency exit. The keys to the windows' locks should also be kept close by in case of any emergency that may crop up.

Left-wing operatives, like those who run Politico, are intentionally attempting to create their own reality. In the same way the left turned "30 Rock," a show that ranked 106 in the ratings last season, into some sort of cultural phenom, the idea here is to push the political and social values of something no one watches into our country's cultural and media narrative as though it's something it's not — popular.
Politico loves Stephen Colbert because Stephen Colbert loves Barack Obama and is waging war against the Right and free speech. America, however, is, to be kind, indifferent to Colbert. 1.44 million viewers and only half that among the 18-49 group, does not make you King of anything.
But Colbert knows how to play the game and understands that if he wants these kinds of hollow accolades and the opportunity to push his left-wing agenda and to have history revised in his favor, he must appeal to the right people, and the right people are not THE people; the right people are the left-wing elites who infest our corrupt media.
In the face of ratings dwarfed by Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, with ratings lower than those of most every primetime show on Fox News; lower than those of "Pawn Stars," "WWE Wrestling," reruns of "The Family Guy," and "Hoarders," here is your corrupt and wildly out of touch media at work:
Colbert now stands alone as the 2012 election's must-watch court jester. And watching they are — and the comparisons with Stewart are inevitable.
"The satire is fantastic and very unambiguous," said Sirius XM's Julie Mason. "I am starting to get alarmed by how many people think Jon Stewart is a newsman. He is a nonfiction entertainer. I do love Colbert more than Jon Stewart."
Erin McPike, a political reporter for RealClearPolitics, said, "I can't think of another comedian who has the pulse of politics quite like Colbert. It does look like Stewart has become Colbert's sidekick — sort of a role reversal from how things used to be, which makes it funnier in my opinion."
"I'd say Colbert is definitely the edgier of the pair these days," said The Atlantic's Garance Franke-Ruta.
Politico actually writes that Colbert is the 2012 election cycle's "must-watch." And yet the propagandist behind this piece, Patrick Gavin, never bothers to mention that no one watches him. Hilariously, Gavin reports that Colbert's ratings are "steady."
This is worse than being bubbled, though, this is all about a political agenda. Even MSNBC's Chuck Todd has stated openly that Colbert is all about taking down conservatives (a fact Gavin omits when describing Todd's concerns), but what Obama's MSM Palace Guards really like is Colbert's ferocious, fascistic attacks on unlimited political speech.
Super PACs aren't just the enemy of whomever they're targeting in the political world, super PACs are the MSM's number-one rival for the relaying of information to the masses. In order for the media to control the narrative they must have the airwaves and cable channels all to themselves.
The irony here is that there is no bigger group of super PACs in this country than Colbert's own Comedy Central and the mainstream media. Each is backed by gajillionaires and are all part of a multi-national corporation. Oh, and they all have left-wing political agendas. So of course Colbert and his trained MSM seals want unlimited political speech in the form of super PACs toxified and eliminated, for there's nothing that threatens the left more than free and open debate.
Controlling the narrative is how you elect Democrats and that's where the MSM's clown-monkey Stephen Colbert found his free speech-stifling niche.
No one watches Colbert, but he's not looking for an audience, he's looking for accolades from the elite and the influence opportunities they offer him to push the country towards undermining free speech and getting Barack Obama reelected.
What Colbert is doing to kill free speech is a massive con. The only bigger con is the one currently in play by the MSM to pretend that Colbert has some sort of populist appeal.
But the numbers don't lie, and Colbert's real appeal (outside of the predominantly white and leftist Politico newsroom) is statistically something romantically close to ZERO. He's also the first so-called satirist I've ever come across who wants to limit free speech.
Well, other than his mentor Jon Stewart.
Lenny Bruce would be so proud.

RAHWAY — Madison Elementary School in Rahway recently held their annual winter concert under the direction of the music teacher, W. Thomas-Hinton, band director, Jason Miklowcic, and Sofya Kitenberg, strings orchestra director.
Pictured are second graders, who performed the musical play, "A Rainbow Christmas" by Teresa Jennings. The play was about the creatures that lived in the Black and White Forest. "All the creatures are preparing for their Christmas celebration. Everything in their forest is black and white including their Christmas decorations. When they are approached by creatures of different colors who ask if they can join their celebration, the black and white characters flatly refuse, stating that the only acceptable things in the world are black and white. When Santa Claus and his reindeer appear on the scene, the black and white creatures are confused. Santa and his crew explain that the world is full of different colors and that they should be tolerant and accepting and share their world with others whose colors are different than theirs."

Lars and I are talking on twitter at the moment about a construct which would better define the diversity and generation of brewing traditions than style. The style construct is prone to too many weaknesses, such as:
a. artificiality: a style is what is accepted to be a style as opposed to when one asserts itself as one and operates best only in the last 40 years since its early first steps,
b. lack of relative scale: each style is presented as an equal,
c. independence: style lack the key expression of chronological dependency and contemporary cross-influence, and
d. over distinction: styles present themselves as being too separate, ignores the normal sort of overlap and blurred lines.
Could a tree diagram better express the organic aspects of brewing? Think of those rock family tree posters or a chart setting out a linguistic tree. Could such a construct better describe the dynamic nature of brewing history? I was playing with the idea of a poster based on a Gantt chart for the histories of breweries in a specific region, like perhaps this handy spiral version describing geological time but that doesn't seem reasonable above a certain scale. The tree would express time on the X access, diversity on the Y. Ideally, like Google maps, one could drill down into it to find finer levels of relationship or draw back to higher levels of abstraction.
These need not replace style but could go some way to break its tyranny or at least give it context and competition.

Parents' Time with Kids More Rewarding Than Paid Work — and More Exhausting
There's no tougher job than being a parent, or so the saying goes. This sentiment seems to be confirmed by a new Pew Research Center analysis of government time use data. Parents find caring for their children to be much more exhausting than the work they do for pay. At the same time, parents find much more meaning in the time they spend with their children than in the time they spend at work.
Modern Parenthood
The way mothers and fathers spend their time has changed dramatically in the past half century. Dads are doing more housework and child care; moms more paid work outside the home. Neither has overtaken the other in their "traditional" realms, but their roles are converging, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of long-term […]

Young Adults After the Recession: Fewer Homes, Fewer Cars, Less Debt
After running up record debt-to-income ratios during the bubble economy of the 2000s, young adults shed substantially more debt than older adults did during the Great Recession and its immediate aftermath—mainly by virtue of owning fewer houses and cars, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of Federal Reserve Board and other government data.

Second-Generation Americans
Chapter 1: Overview Second-generation Americans—the 20 million adult U.S.-born children of immigrants—are substantially better off than immigrants themselves on key measures of socioeconomic attainment, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data. They have higher incomes; more are college graduates and homeowners; and fewer live in poverty. In all of […]

A very simple, very hearty beef stew. This dish was inspired by Chinese braised beef and they share a lot of common ingredients. The Filipino version though, has more broth.
Pares actually means "pair" in Filipino. Beef pares is a pairing of beef stew and rice. The rice is usually fried or mixed with soy sauce. You then add your own choice of garnish; chopped spring onions, fried garlic, soy sauce, chili and calamansi.
It is another favorite street food and served by street side food stalls, restaurants and even itinerant push cart vendors.
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 2 – 3 hours
Good for: 3 to 4 people
Rub beef thoroughly with salt and set aside for 30 minutes.
Heat some cooking oil in a pan or wok. Fry beef until brown on both side. Set aside.
In a casserole or pot, pour water then add the carrots, star anise, onion, garlic ground pepper and beef pieces.
Let this simmer gently until beef reaches preferred tenderness. Add water to maintain level.
Once beef is tender, add sugar and let it simmer for another 30 minutes.
Serve topped with rice and garnish with chopped spring onions, soy sauce and chili.
If using a pressure cooker, do not add the other ingredients before beef has been tenderized. Add ingredients and simmer normally after releasing pressure.

About to change your life insurance policy? Not so fast. There's a few important things you should consider first.
Whether you have decided to change your life insurance due to a change in your circumstances, financial reasons, or simply due to your current policy reaching the end of its term, it is still a decision which must be carefully considered and researched before you make the move. Some questions you should ask yourself are:
- Is there a different type of life insurance policy that is now more relevant to me?
- If I switch providers will I need to get reaccessed?
- Will taking out life insurance through my superannuation be beneficial to my current situation?
No matter what your reasons are for changing policies, you should take the time to understand what happens when you change to ensure you are making the right choice.

Did you submit incorrect details? Not to worry, you can edit them below.
What should I take into consideration when changing my policy?
In the past, when whole life insurance was at the height of its popularity, deciding to change your policy was a much more complex process, with people having to factor in things like the policies cash value versus inflation. This sort of life insurance is no longer available in Australia, having been replaced by the much easier to understand term life insurance.
That being said, this doesn't mean you should rush in and commit to the first offer given to you. Some crucial things to think about when changing your life insurance are:
- Whether a different type of life insurance better suits your needs now.
- If taking out your new policy inside of superannuation would now be beneficial.
- The extra cost that a new policy could incur.
- Your age, as taking out a new policy later in life will attract higher premiums.
- The stability of the new life insurance provider.
- The reputation of the life insurance agency and experience of the agent you are dealing with if you are using this service.
I want to change the type of life insurance I have, what's available?
There are a range of policies available that are considered life insurance, with each being designed to cover different events and suit different needs. Therefore, if you are thinking of taking out a new policy you might find that one of these is now more relevant to your requirements. Here is a brief rundown of the types of life insurance available in Australia:
- Life cover. What most people think of when they hear the word 'life insurance'. Pays a lump sum benefit to the policyholder's beneficiaries in the event of their death.
- Income protection. Provides an ongoing benefit to replace the policyholders salary if they are rendered unable to work due to illness or injury.
- Trauma (critical illness) cover. Provides a lump sum benefit if the policyholder is diagnosed with a specific serious illness.
- Total and permanent disability (TPD) cover. Provides a lump sum benefit in the event the policyholder suffers a serious disability that prevents them from either working at all, or at a diminished capacity.
- Accidental injury cover. Provides a lump sum benefit if the policyholder suffers a serious injury due to an accident.
- Accidental death cover. Provides a lump sum benefit to the policyholder's beneficiaries in the event of their death due to an accident.
- Funeral cover. Provides a lump sum benefit to pay towards the costs of the policyholders funeral.
Why would I want to take out a new policy inside super?
Purchasing a life insurance policy through your superannuation fund can be beneficial, but like all things also has its drawbacks. Once again, deciding whether or not this is the best option for you boils down to your specific life insurance needs. Here are some of the main advantages and disadvantages of taking out life insurance inside super:
As you can see, this life insurance option can be a right or wrong choice depending on the person. For example, if you are changing life insurance policies due to financial constraints, the cheaper premiums and tax benefits of inside super life insurance is great. On the other hand, if you are wanting a more comprehensive level of cover than you currently have, this probably won't be as attractive.
Watch out for the churning trap
Churning is when an insurance agent misleads and lies to you in order to get you to cancel your existing life insurance policy and replace it with a new one. This was a very popular scam when whole life insurance was available in Australia, as they could draw down your existing policies cash value to cover the new one while gaining additional commission, which of course left you out of pocket.
With the removal of whole life insurance from the Australian market this practice has lessened, as term life insurance does not have a cash value attached to it. However, it has not been eradicated completely, as unscrupulous insurance agents can still hoodwink you into switching policies regularly to generate more sales and therefore more commission for themselves.
Some red flags to watch out for are if the agent:
- Warns you not to tell your current insurance provider and relatives about changing your policy.
- Tries to get you to sign an incomplete contract you do not understand.
- Badmouths other agents and insurance companies.
While the majority of insurance agents are honest professionals, the dishonest minority does exist. Therefore, it is very important that you always read the fine print carefully, and seek outside advice or guidance if you feel something suspicious might be going on.

I've been going through my records on the inplay trades and one thing I've noticed is that horses priced above 10/1 tend to be more successful for my strategy than those priced under 10/1.
Regular readers will know that I try to back certain horses at Betfair SP then lay them off at 50pc of their price in-running. Have a look at the below charts - the first shows how the strategy performs to a €10 stake on my horses priced below 11.0 and the second shows how my strategy performs on horses priced above 11.0:
The horses priced under 10.0 rise to €100 and comes crashing back down. The horses above 11.0 are a good deal steadier and it's those that have made me my profit.
Should I just stick with horses above 11.0 then? I'm not sure to be honest- there's not a huge amount of data to go on.
I'm aware that I could be 'backfitting' this too. Isn't it funny how we always look at our data looking for a fix during a bad run? During the good times, we always think "If it's not broke, don't fix it". Perhaps a better way would be to do a review after a set number of weeks or number of bets, rather than just when things are going arseways.
I don't like changing things without a reason so if I'm to come up with a theory as to why the shorter priced horses perform worst, it is this:
Horses at the shorter end of the market are analysed more - therefore, their running style is more likely to be priced into the odds already. With big priced horses, they don't get as much attention or analysis. Therefore, when they start to perform well mid race, it's often a surprise and in-running punters may get a bit over-excited.
I dunno, it's just a theory. As I say, not a lot of data to go on and I'm conscious of how punters often tinker with things during a poor run in haste. I'll keep plugging away as I am for now and perhaps take a look at this again.
Unfortunately, Punchestown is getting messed up because of the weather. It's a shame really as it's a meeting I love. Looking forward to today's Quevega vs Voler battle - I think the former may come out on top but both are top animals. Could be a good one.
Anyway, here's today's inplay trades:

An Honours degree or equivalent. Applicants with other qualifications and relevant experience will be considered individually by the programme tutor.
Months of entry
January, September
Course content
The breadth of material covered in our MSc in Sustainable Planning gives students the skills they need in order to meet contemporary sustainability challenges in planning. Planning has a key role to play in improving the condition of life in our towns, cities and rural areas. Towns and cities themselves impact on global sustainability and can play a very influential role in tackling global environmental, social and economic problems. Equally, implementing sustainability principles within urban and rural areas is essential for the well-being of the local residents and improvement of the local environment. Creating more sustainable towns and cities will be central to the future of society and the planet. The planning system is so important because it provides one of the most sophisticated mechanisms for regulating environmental change. Recent policy changes have made planning in neighbourhoods and in communities even more important.
Increasingly planners are being required to facilitate the creation of more sustainable urban environments. This requires expertise and skills in a diverse range of disciplines and nationally there is a shortage of relevant skills. This course offers both personal opportunities for students to gain valuable skills that make them highly employable, and allows them to contribute to a much needed and fast changing professional area.

Luther Strode
Strayer #1 Review
If you've read my recent review of Replica #1, you know that I am really high on AfterShock Comics. They continue to release excellent books, and the latest of these is called Strayer, and I really enjoyed its debut issue.
John Flood #1 Review
Mysteries continue to be some of my favorite reading and TV viewing. I love trying to figure out what's really going on, and the best mystery writers can keep me guessing until the very end. What's happening in this book is that the creators are ratcheting up the danger quite a bit by doing to mystery what Fox's Bones does to crime TV: come across the really tough cases. And John Flood has one of my favorite sci-fi concepts involved – he doesn't need to sleep. I've always been fascinated by that possibility!

Mike is leading a movement to equip students with the strengths and actions necessary to make a positive impact on campus and personal issues, overcome bystander behavior and demonstrate courage!
Mike stresses the importance of standing up, stepping in and speaking out based on your values and core commitments. He truly believes that seizing an opportunity to act can dramatically change the campus community and allow all of us to make the difference we want to make. Mike helps your students understand the far-reaching impact of being a passive bystander to problem behaviors and empowers them to tap into their core commitments and show courage. In his interactive keynotes and workshops, he equips students with easily digestible knowledge and actions to challenge the negative behaviors they see around them every day—and to inspire others to do the same. In 2008, in a partnership with renowned academic and researcher Dr. Alan Berkowitz, Mike released an educational, reality-based film on bystander intervention entitled, RESPONSE ABILITY. This project caused a flurry of activity and requests around this phenomenon.
The program has been used on over 250 campuses and in the programming for 43 NIC/NPC/PFA groups, and went on to win awards within the higher education community (2009 Laurel Wreath from NIC and 2009 Fellow from FEA) as well as the International Telly Award. It has now evolved into an educational and empowerment initiative. Mike has now launched the latest evolution of this message entitled: RESPONSE ABILITY: A Call for Courage —a blend of leadership development and bystander intervention training. A movement away from the shame and regret we all feel from being a passive bystander to any injustice or wrongdoing. A movement towards a whole new world where people are standing up, stepping in, and speaking out against inappropriate, abusive, or unhealthy behaviors. A movement based on a creed that challenges, inspires, and moves people to action.
Mike's Bio
Mike is a Chicago-based filmmaker turned advocate. Since 1990, he has created educational projects aimed at empowering young people. He has produced more than 60 educational and promotional film projects for Higher Education organizations, over the past three decades, earning awards and a reputation for challenging negative social norms in college student communities.
He now dedicates himself full-time as the leader of RESPONSE ABILITY: A Call for Courage. He is a member of Sigma Nu Fraternity and founded his chapter at Texas Christian University. He also served his international fraternity as Assistant Executive Director. Mike is a member of the National Speakers Association and holds the designation of Certified Speaking Professional (CSP). The CSP is the speaking profession's international measure of professional platform competence and is held by less than 12 percent of speakers worldwide.
Connect With Mike
"Mike is a professional first, and then dynamic speaker second. He earns his credibility by citing research, telling a personal story as a great example of what not to do in a situation, and then provides momentum that builds until the very end. Mike was able to help many find their voice."
Brian Tenclinger
"Mike was the ultimate professional and speaker through and through. Our students were engaged from start to finish during his keynote, and many students expressed that it changed their perception of their role and responsibility in situations where they can intervene and have a positive impact. We are thrilled the impact that RESPONSE ABILITY had on UAB's fraternity and sorority community."
Kaitlin Kirk
"Mike is easy to work with, reliable, asks for candid feedback and puts that feedback into immediate action (when he can). He's a pleasure to work with and is obviously very passionate about the courageous leadership message he has to share with students."
Tara Schuster
"Mike's keynote helped the students look to the future and reflect on how the actions they take today can determine the legacy that they create for others who may stand where they once did. It was important for me that the fraternity/sorority students have the tools so that they can be role models and leaders of change for not only their chapters, but their greater campus community and world."
Elizabeth Doyle
RESPONSE ABILITY: A Call for Courage
Courage is not just something to show — it's a way of being. When we more past our fears and shame to take actions for others in critical moments of need and for what is right, we are being courageous.
In this galvanizing keynote, Mike reveals the nature of being a bystander and the barriers many of us feel when we consider whether or not to act — those that get in the way of showing courage for other people, organizations and issues. Students from all walks of life will then understand how seizing the opportunity to act can dramatically change their campus, and how it can allow them to make the difference they already want to make.
Mike concentrates on giving his audience three approaches to use whenever they see unhealthy or negative behavior among their peers, in their classes, on their campuses and in their lives. With "A Creed for Courage," serving as the blueprint from the beginning of the keynote, Mike engages the audience and reveals how we all participate in bystander behavior.
He also emphasizes how our commitments and actions go beyond the campus, and students will be equipped to deal with problems as they see them happening around them. RESPONSE ABILITY: A Call for Courage, is appropriate for all student groups, and it has been especially popular for fraternity and sorority leadership training. Consider it also for residence life training, student-athletes, emerging leaders events, peer education groups, wellness programs and more.
This is our opportunity to empower the 80 percent of students who make the right choices. It's time for them to stand up, step in and speak out when they see the other 20 percent making choices that bring down their communities. Before the audience leaves, they are given the opportunity to recite the Creed and join the movement to receive ongoing materials to support them in showing courage throughout their lives.
Learning Outcomes
As a result of attending the program, students will learn:
- how much of a negative impact typical bystander behavior creates,
- how to become reacquainted with personal commitments and actions that make a difference, and
- how to gain the social awareness and personal power to intervene in problem situations and show courage.

Rogue leaves Gambit
Rogue and Gambit were escaping from the US army. The government wanted every mutant to be dead. The University was destroyed by authorities.
One night when she was sleeping on his chest, in an abandon car on a junkyard she though:
- What Am I doing? Gambit is an idiot gambler. It's just a matter of time before he finds a tramp to please all his needs and then I will be all alone again. What keeps me here?
Nothing, nothing was the answeared pulsating in her mind.
She remembered that once Gambit told her that if she wanted she could just leave him. Indeed he had really said that just a few days before that night.
So with her bitter heart our beautiful and deadly heroine decided to abandon Gambit. It would probably be for the best.
Rogue's sweet escape
Rogue lift out Gambit's arm and said whispering;
- Goodbye Gambit, it's time for me to face my destiny.
After that she disappeared in the cold breeze of the dark night.
As Rogue started to walk rain began to fall. She did not care, things could not be worse, half of her friends were dead, the university was destroyed and she had no place to go back, nobody to hug (without killing) and no one to trust.
Suddenly she had this crazy idea:
- I have to go somewhere of hard localization and unlikely they would seek for me, some place cold. I have to go to Oymyakon on Siberia, the coldest and yet the hottest place on earth, a small town with just 1000 habitants. I'll hide in this city, I'll be a shadow during the day and like a vixen in the night.
She knew that this would be a long and dangerous trip due the fact that she were in NY and all the airports and harbors where being controlled by authorities but she had already made of her mind. She took a flight from NY to Fin, another one to Tallin and then finally arrived on Russia.
She took the Transiberian in Tallin passed Moscow and got to Novosibirsky in two days.
from there she took an airplane to Yakutsk and then caught a caravan to Oymyakon. Despite the long trip she knew it that there she would be safe, at least for a while.
Rogue's liberation
Now she was alone and eventually let all her anger and pain take control of her. In the next nine months of winter she started to eat whatever she could find, in some cases she even killed small animals and raindeers as well to feed herself.
Finally Rogue could extravasate all her pain and anguish without injuring anyone. This helped her to overcome all the suffering of the last events. Now she was able to control her feelings, her powers and be calm. Nonetheless she wasn't feeling secure and comfortable yet. The professor's death had shaken her too much, now she tried to put all his training in practice. He would be so proud of her improvements.
In the next weeks she built herself a small hut using her powers.
Rogue had embraced her dark side, her inner demon and now was capable to move on with her life. More than builting a hut she was builting her character. It was a rough winter.
One year later...hunting in the snow.
One afternoon Rogue was hunting on the foot of mountain when she heard a blast, she realized what was happening but in just a few seconds she was buried in the pure snow.
Suddenly a blue hand showed up from nowhere and pulled her cold and faint body from the frozen white snow. The strong man carried her to his frost fortress. When Rogue woke up she was in a frost office that had a huge wall full of books. Upon a beautiful writing desk there was a plaque with a name: Dr. Manhattan. She was on the secret fortress of the famous Dr. Manhattan, he showed up to see if she was fine:
- Are you feeling well?
- Yes I'm grateful for taking care of me. But I'm leaving now.
- I'm glad your had recovered well. I noticed that you are fond of good literature, so you are welcome to come to the library whenever you feel like.
After that Rogue left the ice fortress.
Rogue's visits were more and more frequent until one night Dr. Manhattam told her:
- Why don't you came and live here? It's logically safer then your hut.
And then Dr. Manhattam went doing his activities.
Rogue toke some weeks to give him an answer but ended up agreeing with the idea. Although sometimes she liked to be alone and do whatever she wanted (just like Wolverine did) eventually she missed her friends and the professor's advices. After all hunting was a fun activity but she felt the need to occupy her mind with something more productive.
Who could imagine?
Indeed they weren't so different one from another. Both were misunderstood, powerful introspective and lonely beings. In a short period of time Rogue was already comfortable with the idea of sharing the bed with him. Differently from the rest of Rogue's partners He wasn't annoying or made demands, nor was a jealous person. He was just a calm and quiet man. Plus one of his clones always stood on the fortress and Rogue felt that now she had a place to come back, a shelter, a friend.
Who could believe this two characters would had such a simple and yet pleasant acquaintance together? Both were powerful beings and came from a problematic backgrond. Despite of all odds, Rogue felt living a normal life or at least closer to have one. Of course that living closer to radiation and having the capability of control any substance on the universe made Rogue absorb her new parter powers and in a short time the earth soon would have not one but two people with tremendous power, but this is another story.

Maiko Takeda's Head Games.
Between art, millinery, jewellery, design and fashion.
It is very difficult to pin the highly talented artist Maiko Takeda down: this woman of (literally) many hats works on the cusp between art, millinery, jewellery, design and fashion. The recent graduate's creations have been seen by people all around the world as Björk wears them on stage during her tour this year, leaving people in awe of their gravity-defying forms and morphing colours. Raised in Tokyo and educated at London's prestigious Central Saint Martins and Royal College of Art, Maiko works with extreme precision when honing down concepts and methodically assembling her surreal pieces. Her work has recently been showcased at London Fashion Week and later this autumn you'll be able to see her work at MuseumsQuartier Wien.
Dancing with Björk.
After a bumpy cab ride we seek shelter from the rain in what was once an old brick timber mill in the heart of London's Islington. We sip tea and take in the stunning views of colourful canal boats drifting to the west and London's rising skyscrapers to the east.
In a moment of complete ease, Maiko recounts a situation in which she found herself dancing to folk music with Björk in a pub on the outskirts of Dublin. No one knew who they were. It was magical.
Why do humans put things on their heads?
Wearing something on your head is traditionally seen as a symbol of status and power, it makes you look bigger, taller and more important. It's a very powerful body part to put something on. I think in terms of fashion, it really transforms you into a different person. By covering your face or eyes, or putting something on your head, you can easily acquire a new personality.
Sharing surreal moments.
What do you want your wearers to feel when they put on your pieces?
I want to create surreal, subtle dramas around the person wearing my piece and the people near them. I imagine the people who wear my pieces want to experience or share surreal moments in their daily lives, at a party or in the privacy of their own home. I want my pieces to give people those magical experiences. It's also amazing to learn how other people interpret my work, which has been compared to "Hellraiser", hedgehogs, caterpillars and acupuncture.
An opera as inspiration.
Your headpieces were inspired by Philip Glass' opera "Einstein on the Beach". What do you find so compelling in this piece?
I can't really explain it in words, but it had a powerful effect on me when I saw this opera at the Barbican Centre. I went to see it a second time, in Amsterdam. It is a very repetitive, non-stop physical work. The actors move like machines, but at the same time you can see them sweating and running out of breath. I found that very interesting to watch.
Wearing headpieces on stage.
What did it feel like having Björk appear on stage wearing one of your headpieces? Is there anyone else you'd like to design for?
I couldn't believe it! The first piece she wore actually covers the whole face, so I wasn't sure if it would be comfortable for her to sing in. I went to bed thinking she probably wouldn't wear it in the end.
In the morning I woke up to seeing pictures of Björk on the internet wearing my headpiece. That was the most rewarding moment for me. There were many tears and sleepless nights as I worked on my collection, so that was the best encouragement I could ever receive. Besides Björk, I would love to design for Tilda Swinton.
From Japan to London.
How has your move from Japan to London influenced you as an artist?
It influenced me in many ways. In Japan there are very few immigrants. At my school we were all similar in terms of appearance – hair, eyes, skin tone – but we also had similar aesthetics and a similar way of seeing things. When I moved to London, I really felt more comfortable being myself than I had in Japan. In a way, I can be more Japanese here. When it comes to my work though, I never try to be too Japanese. I personally don't like bringing my own cultural references into my work, I think it's a very obvious device, and too easy. Having said this, I obviously can see that my work is quite Japanese, but it's not intentional.
Differences between millinery traditions.
Can you see differences between Japanese and British millinery traditions?
Millinery and the culture of wearing hats is a British tradition. Japanese people wear a lot of soft hats in daily life, which is interesting to me. In early Japanese history, the emperor would often wear a flat object on his head, it was made of natural fibres, unlike the crowns of the English monarchs which were made out of gold and jewels.
Maiko Takedo about her future.
What do you hope life has in store for you in the future?
I'd love to be making pieces that make me happy, seeing as I'm really self-critical.
It would be great if I could keep on making pieces that create these subtle dramas and experiences for the people who wear them.
