Located in historical Steveston, B.C. a few short steps from Garry Point, this family owned and operated Mexican restaurant is a great place for lunch or dinner. Marcia and Peter will make your dining experience pleasant and relaxing.
A good place to go after the movies at Silver City....only 10 minutes up the Steveston Highway. Arrived at 9.15pm and were not rushed at all. They are open to midnight Fridays and Saturdays. The nachos grande ($8.95) were a huge plateful of nachos covered with about 6 toppings - a meal in itself. The burritos ($8.95) were tasty and the tiger shrimp with zuchini had a nice tangy flavor but a bit pricey at $14.95.
Pleasant and friendly service and the atmosphere as good as being in Mexico.
This place has become a complete disaster of what it was with the previous owners. I was a regular customer of the place before the ownership switched. I still gave it few tries after the switch, but tonight was just intolerable. On a sat night we went around 830and were seated, ordered drinks and appetizers. The drinks and food came before 910 and around 930 we decided we want to order more and the server tells us that the kitchen closed at 9 and we can't order. We were not notified at all about the kitchen's last call or closing time at all. At this point, we were frustrated and asked to speak with the owner and she came after 5 mins and said they were "out of food". I have never been said that in a restaurant ever before. I told her we were not told at all that the kitchen closed at 9, and she just apologized and left. I would never go to this place again. The food quality and taste is definitely different than the old owners but I still decided to give it a few tries before judging the new owners . The owners can't modify their food at all, i asked them to make the quesadillas spicy and well done to which the server replied,"the chef won't make any changes to the recipe and we can bring u the hot sauce on side." They need to go get a lesson in customer service before owning a restaurant. Very frustrating and disappointing, totally ruined our night. Never going back again.
Cleary don't go there and expect to have a late night dinner on the weekends especially.
It is interesting that my prior review of this restaurant has been removed.
Essentially, I remarked on their tasteless and greasy food, sticky menus, and other apparently unhygienic practises (labels on the fruit were still stuck on my fruit in the sangria we ordered).
Three of us went and ordered a couple of appetizers and 4 entrees, as the portions were not enough for the guys in our group.
This is not a place to make a point of going. If you are hungry and want something "Mexican" then go if you wish. But I wouldn't recommend it.
Authentic family run Mexican restaurants are rare in Vancouver - this was a nice delight. The small room is decorated with Mexican flair, the color of Sangria reflected everywhere. All sauces are made from scratch, and the mole sauce in their Thin Mexican Pizza was not too sweet or overpowering. Even their black beans and pinto beans (sides) were marinated with some Mex spices I haven't experienced before. Portions were just right, leaving me room to enjoy the free nachos and Mex rice. A delightful change from Shrek sized portions they serve up elsewhere, such as stuffed, gigantic 10 inch burritos chock full of canned beans.
Now this is real Mex - unlike the Taco Bell, Las Margaritas, Pepitas pretenders.
Not terrible. But pretty bad food. Why would you set up shop next to a peer and not serve any seafood ? Sigh.
I was expecting some good fish tacos. Or some Mexican style shrimp.
No dice. Beef, chicken or pork only. The meat was pretty gross. On the plus side the plates are big and delivered quick.
Went for dinner and the place was dark. And not 'moody nice' dark, just 'too dark turn a light on please I want to see what I am eating' dark.
There are piñatas hanging from the ceiling. Don't go here.
Went here on a recommendation of a friend's friend. I live in Richmond and hadn't heard much about it, which should have been my first clue that I should be skipping this place!
The service was horrible- staff were constantly trying to give people the wrong plate at various tables! We requested water a few times before it came. The waitresses seemed totally clueless and the owner was not even close to being pleasant.
Most of the food was just ok. The guacamole was horrible! Tasted like it was from an old container of something super preserved, found out the chef used tons of mayonnaise in it! Can you say disgusting? The somewhat stale tortilla chips came out in woven baskets that are totally unhygenic.
And the patio sucks because the surround is so high you can't even have a view of Steveston!
Anyways, if you are in Richmond and are craving Mexican- head to Que Pasa's cafeteria (off No.5 & Steveston Hwy)...it is yummy, cheap and has a nice vibe with the friendly lunch ladies and the pinatas all over the place. You can get a much tastier burrito for about $3 vs. the $12 ones here.
Not a bad place in Richmond to go... fajitas are nice - very homemade ish (vegetables cut a bit differently/shape), yummy fresh salsa and free chips, and margaritas made with fresh juice, no sugar. Nice! I like Don's Guacomole on Robson and Las Margaritas more though... Service is great and geniune.. support small businesses!!!
My family, friends and I have frequented the Little Mexico Cantina in Steveston for years. Every year I have my birthday dinner there, and after our experience last night (for my bday dinner) - I don't think (actually, I KNOW) we will never step foot in there again, or recommend the restaurant to anyone.
As mentioned, I have my birthday dinner there every year, so was very disappointed that we had such a terrible experience at a restaurant I CHOSE to have my bday dinner at this year.
The food was ok, but the service is the culprit as to why I will never return. For a small family-owned business, you would think that the OWNER would treat her patrons politely, not imitate them or snap at them. The menus and tables were sticky and not clean. There was a choice of 5 wines on the menu, but when my mom tried to order one - she was told they only had 1 available. She asked the waitress to tell her more about it, and the waitress replied, "well, someone order a litre last night so it must be good". My brother got his appetizer after his entree, and when the owner brought the appetizer out in entree size, my brother explained that he had ordered the appetizer. She accused him of ordering a larger portion (which he hadn't), then the server came along and told her that it was another table's order in her hand (and she didn't apologize).
We noticed that other tables had the nachos and salsa. For as long as we can remember going there (over 10 years), they always brought complimetary nachos/salsa before your meal. After our entrees arrived and we noticed most of the other tables with salsa/nachos, I asked the owner if we were going to get some as well. She asked if we would like to order some, confused I replied "oh, I thought you gave them to each table?" (an honest assumption after 10 years and looking around at all the other tables in the restaurant with them). She rudely snapped back, " they are only a dollar". Surprised I said, "it's ok, I was just curious. You used to give them out". All she had to say was that they recently stopped doing that. Instead, she continued to badger me and defensively proclaim how they haven't raised their prices and my fajitas that were $12.95 would cost over $16 elsewhere. I sat there in shock, and tried to diffuse the situation by explaining that it wasn't an issue, I understood, and was just asking, She continued to banter and glare at me, trying to imitate me. Such odd behaviour for an OWNER of the restaurant, especially to act that way towards someone (and their family) who had frequented their restaurant for such a long time.
To add insult to injury, we weren't thanked or acknowledged by the owner as we left at the end of our meal - other than her rude "Adios" as we walked past.
Their food is not fantastic, but I tried to support their small business for the last several years...but after being made to feel very unwelcomed and disrespected, I will never return.
This small restaurant located near Garry Point serves delicious food and feels as if you have walked into a family owned business in the heart of Mexico! With a ceiling covered in pinatas and traditional mexican music playing, you are shown to your seat and served fresh salsa and tortilla chips. I would recommend starting out the evening with one of the restaurant's famous lime margaritas (excellent) or a refreshing Mexican beer. They have a long list of yummy appetizers and dinners that can be altered to fit any diet (i am vegetarian). The "special dessert" or famous "deep-fried mars bar" is an excellent way to finish of the meal (if you have room).
The service is also good but since there is usually only one waitress and the owner trying to serve everyone, I recommend coming on a week night as it is less crowded and you receive a little more attention.
Overall, a great spot to eat and possibly one of the best mexican restaurants!
Gracias Little Mexico Cantina!
We went to this restaurant two nights in a row and BOTH nights they added the hand-written bill up wrong. The first night we went with our family and when the bill came we were surprised as it was more than we expected. When I pulled out my cellphone and used the calculator we noticed it was off by over $20! We let them know and they didn't apologize or anything, just corrected it. The next night we went with other friends and the bill was off by $15! Again, we let them know and they simply corrected it, no apologies. Ridiculous! I believe that they count on people drinking a few too many margaritas and not checking the bill (which is hand-written, and messy at that). I went back the 2nd time because the food was good, but we won't be ripped off again! BRING YOUR CALCULATOR!
What a great little restaurant in the middle of nowhere! We have looked high and low for authentic mexican cuisine in and around Vancouver, and all we can find are the typical places that serve the americanized version of mexican (ie... tacos, burritos filled with cold "mexi" spiced ground beef...and nachose piled high with cheap tasteless cheeses... how delicious *barf*). This little restaurant is different, serving up traditional mexican dishes!! no spicy "mexi" rice with ground beef here! Hurray! The food is great, the ambience great, and the service great! No greasy american mexican here! Ask for the cornbread... it is incredible! And if you are up to it, try the banana cheesecake, it's to die for.
We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone searching for authentic mexican cuisine! There is nothing like this in Vancouver!
**If you are searching for "american mexican".. you are better off trying taco del mar, or taco time.
Little Mexico Cantina claims on their website:
"These are families who cook the same food as their mothers and grandmothers — a menu is inspired by the cooking of northern Mexico and southern California."
I spent 25 years of my life in Southern California, and the food served at this restaurant resembled nothing I had ever experienced at countless Mexican restaurants throughout Southern California and U.S. border states, such as Arizona.
I was pleased, however, to be served the traditionally complimentary chips and salsa, and not terribly surprised to find the salsa uncharacteristically mild. It was comprised only of chunks of very very lightly flavored stewed tomatoes, topped with a sprig of cilantro. it was tasty and juicy.:)
My husband and I ordered the chicken fajitas and Mexican pizza. The chicken was chunky and tender, but very bland under the sauce that dressed it, which was more like the sweet and sour sauce one might find in a Chinese restaurant. A small dollop of cheese, sour cream, and "guacamole" accompanied the "fajitas," but the "guacamole" was just mashed avocado- no spices, onions, tomatoes, etc.. All in all, edible, but not worth 12.95. As for the Mexican pizza, the menu description was this:
"MEXICAN PIZZA - Best in town! 10" thin crispy crust covered with mole sauce, chorizo. Feta & Jack cheese, onions, tomatoes and sasame seeds."
What I got was thin cripsy crust topped with mole sauce, a tiny sprinkling of what actually looked like cheddar and jack cheeses, garnished with a little bit of chorizo. Completely absent were the onions, tomatoes, and sesame seeds, although, there was a sparse scattering of green onion slices across the pizza. The flavor was decent, but not at all substantial enough to be worth 10.95.
When someone that I'm thinking was the owner came by to ask, "how is everything?" i replied that i expected a bit more for my money. She just shrugged me off, mumbling something like, "this is how we've done it for years..." Later she asked if we enjoyed the chips and salsa, stating that no one serves a free appetizer. Ha. Complimentary chips n salsa are pretty much standard!
If you're looking for a very bland, slight resemblance to Mexican food, and are not that concerned about value for price, give this restaurant a try. It won't make you sick, and maybe we just ordered the wrong things.
We've been to this restaurant twice in the last month. The first time the service was poor but the food was excellent. The second visit was mid week and the owner waited on us and the level of service was much better.
The second visit we sat on the patio which is secluded from the street by a fence. The inside of the restaurant is decorated festively and has a definite Mexican feel.
The broken Sombrero was very tasty. The Mexican pizza is also very good. The Margarita and Virgin margaritas were both wonderful.
We will dine here again and hope we get the owner as our waitress.
We love this place. If your goal is margaritas and nachos, don't look anywhere else, as this is the place to go. Fresh squeezed lime margaritas at a great price. The nachos are heaped with refried beans, guacomole and a mountain of cheese. Also look for the dry pork ribs as these are better than any I've ever had in any pub.
Another hint, ask for the cornbread - its not on the menu and its not available every night but when it is you won't be dissapointed.
The main courses are decent and somewhat typical of most mexican restaurants, however its the appies we come for. If you are in the mood for a drink and some snacks, skip the pub and head to the Cantina.
We went to this restaurant for the second time since we first discovered it. If anything, this restaurant has excellent food, and excellent service. It's really good for being family friendly, as we have a baby who makes a fair amount of mess when he eats right now.
Our main criteria for restaurants though is.. will we get sick? In that respect, this restaurant passes with flying colors! Nothing overly goopy. No enormous portions to take the place of quality. Just good food, and good cheerful atmosphere.
Great authentic Mexican food, but it will be nice when they finally get in line with restaurants on the dock and stop allowing smoking on their patio. The tables are close together in a confined space and when one lights up...everybody smokes, including kids.
Time to "butt out" Other than that, the food is ver good.
We often eat at Little Mexico and I feel compelled to speak on the great food, great service and great atmosphere. The taquitos are positively "crave-worthy" and the homemade salsa beats any I have eaten before. The service is consistently prompt and polite, and often the servers and owners will recognize us by name. This is what we pay to go out to eat for!
a group of 10 went to this little hole in the wall restaurant for our girlfriends birthday. what a disappointment. the food was horrible, greasy and cold. the service was even worse than the food. the waitresses were rude and ignorant. i would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. the menus and table had food and all sticky all over them --- needless to say nobody left a tip and nobody will be returning and word is being spread all thru richmond and elswhere -- what a disappointment -- don't know how a mexican restaurant can screw up on mexican food but they did -- stay away
The sevice was poor, I felt as if we were ignored all night. I would have died of thirst if I not asked 2 times for another drink. The food was cold and bland. I'll go to Mexico the next time for the real deal.
As I walked in I notice the carfully decorated and painted walls, but more importantly the smells that elude to a soon to come experience for the taste buds. My meal consisted of a taco, Burrito and a chilli stuffed with cheese, spices, and then battered with egg, it also came with two types of beans, and rice. It was a full meal for about $12. For dessert i had what appeared to be a tortilla shell deep fried, and then dressed up with caramel icing sugar, and ice cream, also very reasonably priced. I was originally gonna rate The Little Mexico Cantina as outstanding, but after rethinking while typing here, i decided that 5 overall is what they deserve.
From what i understand the origins of all the sauces come from family recipes, from several generations back, and are made fresh everyday.
They also offer a hot sauce thats remarkably hot, so let this be a warning to those who like it hot, get it on the side.

Traditional and innovative, the Grande Maison that has Japan's oldest winery
Presquile is a French restaurant which opened in 2015 on a corner complex building by Midosuji, a main street in Osaka. It is directly connected to the Yodoyabashi subway station. Based on the concept of Basho-style haiku, they offer unique cuisine which preserves the classical style while adopting a new essence of cooking. It is a grande maison which has a reputation for excellent service.
Chef Yasuji Sasaki gained experienced working in the restaurant Trente et Un in Kobe and the Michelin restaurant Alain Chapel in France. Customers can enjoy classical cuisine blended with modern elements and sense the Lyon / French style which he studied, such as the traditional pie dish Duck and foie gras torteau with rouennaise, which he inherited from his teacher Mr. Alan Chapel, or the chicken breast vegetable wrap, a classical dish from Lyon, which he prepares himself in front of guests. The cute sweets that are placed in a jewelry box on the dessert wagon is also very popular, guests are often amazed by the beauty of the small confectionaries. Presquile also has the oldest winery in Japan, stocking a large variety including Maruki Grape wine. The restaurants stocks 2000 bottles of Maruki grape and French wine to match with the chef's cuisine. We also recommend the unique grape, peach and pear wines.
There are 38 seats and a private room which holds up to 8 people. The calm, luxurious setting which blends classical and modern is perfect for entertainment and anniversaries. Customers with children may use the private rooms, so it is also a restaurant suitable for family occasions.
■ Directly connected to exit 10 of Yodoyabashi Station on the Subway Midosuji line

After nine years at the helm, Nancy Hill will step down from her role of 4A's President-CEO by June 2017. Ms. Hill, the first woman chief executive for the association, talks to Ad Age about her forthcoming departure, future plans and proudest moments.
Why did you decide next summer was the right time to leave?
Ms. Hill: Originally when I met with the selection committee, I told them that I felt the right amount of time was between five and seven years, and it's going to be nine, which is longer than expected. I think with the pace of change in the industry, it's important that the people leading this organization recently have been in an agency. The change in the industry has been so dramatic, and I think it's time to have a different set of skills at the top. We made the announcement now because we're starting a search process and it took 18 months the last time around.
Are you going to be involved in the search?
Ms. Hill: I'm not going to be involved in the search. I find it kind of strange to be looking for your successor. When they get it down to one or two candidates, I'll be happy to meet with them and share my views. Hopefully we'll be able to have some overlap with the person coming in so it's a smooth transition.
What will you focus on over the next year?
Ms. Hill: We're going to continue to focus on gender and diversity in the workplace and keeping that in the forefront as much as we can. We have some research that will kick that off at the end of the summer. We're also going to continue to focus on what agencies are doing, what they have to do to have conversations with clients on transparency. When the Ebiquity report comes out, we'll review it and sit down with the ANA and figure out how to work together going forward.
What are you most proud of through your tenure at 4A's?
Ms. Hill: My remit was to modernize the organization and I think we've done that pretty successfully and moved from being somewhat focused on being a trade organization to somewhat of a community organizer and bringing the right people together in the right room at the right time to get stuff done. We're much more proactive than we used to be.
What are your plans after June 2017?
Ms. Hill: I'll do some combination of consulting and spending time in Ecuador, where I have a home. I've had my house down there for 12 years, and I spend a lot of time volunteering for an organization, People Helping People, and we help build schools in the Andes.
Will you think about going back to the agency world?
Ms. Hill: I would be crazy not to do something with the nine years I have with this purview, which is why I'll consult, but I've been working since I've been in 8th grade, so I just need some time, but I'm too young to completely retire, so this isn't the last of me.

NSF Awards School of Business Professor $400k Grant
Catherine Cramton, an associate professor of management at School of Business, is leading a team of researchers that recently received a $400,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for their project "Culture and Coordination in Global Engineering Teams." The grant will fund their research from September 1, 2010 through August 31, 2013.
Engineering work has become increasingly complex, and big engineering projects are almost always undertaken by teams of engineers whose members are multicultural and distributed around the globe. Effective coordination is crucial for success, yet recent research suggests that team coordination practices vary with national culture. Experts have warned that engineering education fails to prepare engineers for these differences.
"Cultural differences in coordination practices are understudied across domains of application, so our work will provide new knowledge concerning this central team process. We also offer a new approach to capturing the complexity of teamwork 'an approach grounded in scripts theory' that has the potential to influence research across disciplines," says Cramton.
"While writing the proposal with Tine Köhler, a former student of mine who is a graduate of Mason's industrial psychology doctoral program and now on the faculty of the University of Melbourne, we decided to focus on the construction engineering context," says Cramton.
"We made contact with Raymond Levitt, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University. He joined our project and also brought on board Dr. Renate Fruchter, senior research associate and lecturer in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford. We will also work with a large global infrastructure engineering firm."
The research team intends to characterize the culturally-specific coordination practices of engineering teams and use this research to help engineers—and others who work in multicultural, multi-national project teams—become more adept in anticipating and working across different cultural expectations related to project coordination. They will develop recommendations for engineering education and practice.

Agreed; plus, that would regulate on what Superman is allowed to face on his own for his own franchise. I mean, you couldn't really put him in a situation where he's captured and held captive or something like that for several months while Earth is being attacked since there are actually other heroes this time to stop them and such; putting it simply, it'd be very, very hard to push Superman's character to his limits like how TDKR did with Batman since there are actual heroes on Earth this time around.
And MOS wasn't made with the intent of branching out into a JLA film.

Disney Films that have been turned into Musicals
The Lion King is one of the greatest Broadway and West End success stories, having performed to audiences since the late 1990s continually and opening in cities throughout the world such as Tokyo and Mexico City. The success of the film enabled the Broadway musical to be created and open just three years afterwards, and today it has been seen by over 45 million people worldwide with 6.5 million of these seeing the show at the Lyceum Theatre in London. Due to its phenomenal success, other Disney films have also been turned into musicals for the stage, but which ones?
Other Disney films turned into musicals
The very first Disney film to be adapted for the stage was Beauty and the Beast. The classic fairy tale is one of Disney's most successful films, and was the first ever animated movie to be nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Due to the film's success and the love of the characters that the public had, it was swiftly adapted into a stage production in 1994, just three years after the film's release in 1991. Disney's Beauty and the Beast played for 13 years on Broadway and closed in 2007, becoming the New York Theatreland's eight longest-running show ever. The show opened at the West End in 1997 but had less longevity, running for just over 2 and a half years. It played at the Dominion Theatre, now home to We Will Rock You, and won the coveted Olivier Award for Best New Musical in 1998. Beauty and the Beast continues to play in cities throughout the world and had its first Mexican tour in 2011.
Mary Poppins opened at the West End in 2004 at the Prince Edward Theatre, now home to Jersey Boys. The story was adapted by producer Cameron Mackintosh and had Laura Michelle Kelly as the leading lady, who went in to win the Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance. The show was visited in 2005 by Julie Andrews, who played Mary Poppins herself in the classic film version. She gave a speech which praised the cast for their novel interpretation of the story. Mary Poppins was a success but closed in 2008 after a run of over three years. It then went to play on Broadway and in cities in Europe and Australia, with a production in Brisbane set to start in early 2012.
Tarzan: The Musical was the next Disney film to be reformed into a stage musical, beginning previews on Broadway in 2006. The show featured Glee star Matthew Morrison in the title role but unfortunately closed just over a year after opening due to poor ticket sales. Since its closure, productions of Tarzan: The Musical have been played in cities in the United States such as Utah and San Jose, and also in places such as Kristianstad, Sweden and Hamburg, Germany, where the musical is still open. Tarzan was never brought to London's West End.
The most recent Disney film that has been transformed into a musical stage production is The Little Mermaid. Based on the classic tale by Hans Christian Andersen, the story of a mermaid longing to live on land with a prince was loved by all when it was first seen in the 1989 movie version, and so a musical stage version was suggested. Opening on Broadway in January 2008, The Little Mermaid replaced Beauty and the Beast as Disney felt that having two Princess icons on at the same time would cause competition between the two shows. The title role was created by Sierra Boggess who also created the role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Love Never Dies. The Little Mermaid was met with mild success and closed in August 2009, a year and a half after the show opened, and the show went on a US tour in 2011 with international productions staged in Israel and the Philippines. The Little Mermaid has not been brought to the West End.
The classic and timeless Disney films that were turned into stage musicals have all seen success, but not success like The Lion King. Have you seen any of these productions? Do you think they live up to the standard of The Lion King or do you think that they should be left alone as movies and not touched by stage producers? Write your comments in the box below!

From Oslo to Apartheid The world is still focused on the 2 state solution as the way out of the Israel-Palestinian deadlock, but what are the prospects for its success? Netanyahu's successor, Ehud Barak, reentered peace talks in 2000, making the Palestinians an offer widely thought of as generous. During the ongoing peace process, the Israeli government has engaged in harsh policies that restrict Palestinian rights in the occupied territories. These practices have drawn increasing criticism from human rights groups within and outside of Israel:

Demolitions While public attention has been focused on the issue of settlements, several positions taken by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu represent significant obstacles to the creation of a Palestinian state: 1. No Right of Return for Palestinian refugees
2. No Palestinian control over its border with Jordan
3. No Palestinian control over its own airspace
4. No Palestinian control over its main water sources Rabin: "We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority....We will not return to the June 4th, 1967, lines." In his first term of office, 1996-1999, Netanyahu actively worked to sabotage the peace process that Rabin had begun: and he reneged on his commitment (at the Wye Memorandum) to withdraw from more Palestinian areas. And, as recently revealed by the Israeli press, Netanyahu admitted that he manipulated the Oslo Accords by using closed military zones to retain permanent Israeli control over Area C, which constitues 60% of the West Bank. Netanyahu timed announcements of settlement building to disrupt peace talks in 1997, The wall stretching through the West Bank runs through Palestinian towns and villages, annexing Palestinian property, cutting villages off from their lands, isolating communities and creating barriers to education, economic and medical care. The Israeli military enforces the occupation and is often the only interaction between Israelis and Palestinians in the occupied territories.
The Israeli military routinely raids villages and arrests civilians, who are often detained for months without charge. House demolitions have been used to:
arbitrarily punish Palestinians,
destroy families' economic livelihoods,
and push Palestinians out of areas Israel wishes to claim via settlement or military occupation. There are roughly 130 illegal settlements now covering the West Bank.
They cover 42% of the land in the West Bank, having grown 40-fold since 1967.
They house nearly half a million Israelis, having grown by 120,000 in the past ten years. Settlements, in black and blue on this map, primarily serve to:
1. Separate Palestinian areas from each other,
2. Capture the main water resources in the West Bank,
3. Consolidate Israeli control over occupied East Jerusalem. It is also important to note that the partial settlement freeze that occured last year neither encompassed all settlements, nor was fully enforced by the Israeli government.
As of August 2010, the Israeli group Peace Now documented nearly 500 violations of the freeze. The wall was ruled illegal by the International Court of Justice in 2005 and has become a focal point for the non-violent resistance movement in Bil'in, Ni'lin, Budrus, and many other Palestinian villages. Most disturbingly, the occupation has fostered an attitude of dehumanization among Israeli soldiers, as seen by an August 2010 scandal involving an IDF soldier's photos with detained civilians. The Israeli government uses 541 roadblocks to disable roads connecting Palestinian towns to each other.
These roadblocks also channel traffic through a select set of roads that the Israeli military can monitor using its system of checkpoints. The Israeli government employs 60 permanent and 65 flying checkpoints to monitor, limit, and deny Palestinian freedom of movement at roads and access points between villages. This network of roadblocks and checkpoints creates isolation of Palestinian areas and prevents civilian access to health, education, and economic opportunities across the West Bank. The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions estimates that 24,813 houses have been destroyed by the Israeli military since 1967. House Demolitions in 2005 Red = in closed Military Zones (Area C)
Yellow = in the Jordan Valley and Settlement Areas
Small star = 1-10 demolitions
Large star = 10+ demolitions In July of 2010 alone, Israel destroyed 141 homes and buildings in the West Bank.
These policies have brought the Israeli occupation of the West Bank under heavy criticism as an apartheid system, designed to privilege one group of Israeli settlers over another group of occupied Palestinians.
Indeed, the most striking comparison that can be made is between the map of the West Bank today and the map of South Africa under apartheid. As a result of Israel's settlement and annexation policies, it now controls 85% of the water in the West Bank.
Palestinians are allowed an averge of 50 cubic meters of water per capita per year.
Settlers are allowed 2400 cubic meters of water per capita per year. (Speech to the Knesset on Oct 5, 1995) These conditions reflect the goals for the Oslo Process outlined by Yitzchak Rabin in 1995:
But the conditions he placed on this offer showed that he shared the same outlook on the process as his predecessors: After accounting for Barak's insistence on control of Israeli settlements and East Jerusalem (left), and the Palestinian border with Jordan (center), the resulting proposed state was simply too small for the Palestinians to accept (right): The unequal treatment of Palestinians governed by Israel is not limited to the Occupied Territories. Palestinian citizens of Israel, roughly 20% of the population, are treated as second class citizens, discriminated against through housing, employment and educational discrimination, and a lack of access to municipal services and government programs allocated to Jews only. The Israeli electoral system is designed to perpetually exclude Arab parties from any meaningful political participation. The persistence of the occupation and abuse of the peace process to acquire more Palestinian land should lead us to reconsider this approach to ending the occupation. Rather than a solution focused on political ends, a rights based approach is the most morally consistent way to understand what true justice will look like. Those rights include the rights of Palestinian citizens of Israel to be free from second-class status and discrmination, and the rights of refugees to return to their lands or be involved in selecting their compensation for the Nakba (expulsion of 1948). The Palestine Papers show that the Palestinian Authority has consistently negotiated away Palestinian rights without their democratic consent. Pressure exerted from the US and the Israeli continuation of policies articulated by Yitzchak Rabin at the start of the peace process, ensure that these negotiations will either be futile, or will result in an outcome that compromises Palsetinian rights. In my opinion, the most promising solution lies in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, a non-violent array of tactics designed to pressure Israel into ending the occupation.

Frequently asked questions:
What is a generic medication?
Wikipedia gives the following definition: "Generic drug (pl. generic drugs, short: generics) is a drug which is produced and distributed without a brand name. A generic must contain the same active ingredients as the original formulation. In most cases, it is considered bioequivalent to the brand name counterpart with respect to pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. By extension, therefore, generics are assumed to be identical in dose, strength, route of administration, safety, efficacy, and intended use. Mind that the pills you will receive from us differ in appearance from the brand name ones. The looks of medications as well as brand names are the intellectual property of the brand manufacturer. Thus to avoid any accusation of copyright infringement we have to change the shape and the color of the generic pills as well as use the name of the active ingredient (generic name) instead of the brand name for printing on pills. Please be aware that the generic pills differ in appearance from the brand name medications. Our pills are round shaped and blister packed (10 pills per each blister). The name of the active ingredient as well as the weight are specified on the pill itself.
Why are generic pills cheaper than the brand name ones?
The principal reason for the reduced price of generic medicines is that the creation of the generic drug runs up less cost and therefore a lower price can be offered and still maintain profitability.
Manufacturers of generic drugs are mainly able to avoid the following three costs that brand name pharmaceutical companies incur: (1) costs associated with the research and development of the drug; (2) costs associated obtaining regulatory approval (i.e. proving safety and efficacy of a drug); and (3) marketing costs.
First, Generic manufacturers do not incur the cost of drug discovery and instead reverse-engineer existing brand name drugs to allow them to manufacture bioequivalent versions.
Second, generic manufacturers do not bear the burden of proving the safety and efficacy of the drugs through clinical trials - rather, generic manufacturers must prove the generic drug's bioequivalancy to the existing drug.
Third, these companies receive the large benefit of the marketing and advertising that goes into pushing the innovator drug. The brand name drug has to prove itself in the eyes of the consumer, generic ones do not. The drugs that generic manufacturers are selling have been on the market for usually a decade or more and do not need additional advertising. For the same reason, generic manufacturers also do not give away sample doses to promote their products. The significant research, development and marketing costs incurred by the large pharmaceutical companies in introducing a new drug to the market is often cited as the reason for the high cost of new agents - they wish to recover these costs before the patent expires. Generic manufacturers do not incur these costs, with bioequivalence testing and manufacturing costing relatively little, and are able to charge significantly less than the brand.

Do you require a prescription?
However we would strongly recommend you to consult your doctor before taking a medication. You may have some diseases contra-indicated for taking certain kinds of medicines and your doctor will advise you what you can or cannot take.
Do you guarantee the quality of pills?
High quality of the medications we offer is the subject of our primary concern. The logic is very simple: the better the quality of goods is, the more customers we have. Thus we are very attentive and selective in the choice of the supplier, the quality of goods is thoroughly tested and the documentation is closely checked.
How do you ship orders? Will I have to sign for the package?
If sent by the standard unregistered mail the order will come in a plain envelope without any reference to content. The envelope will be left in your mail box. There is no need to sign for it. If sent by a courier, the recipient needs to sign for the package. All orders are shipped in discreet packaging. There is no mention on the outside of the package as to what is contained inside. Furthermore, your name or any other personal information will never be given or sold to any other company. Your privacy is our utmost concern.
Will my order be delivered in one package or you will divide it in case the order is large?
If an order includes 90 pills (or more) or if there are different types of medications in one order we will have to send the pills separately. Thus the delivery will take longer than 3 weeks since the packages are sent with the interval of approximately 7 days one by one. This is done to secure the delivery.
All the information you provide is confidential and is not given to any third parties.
On our site, you fill in a form to order your medications. Your personal information inserted is used for the delivery of goods and for and orders confirmation message. This information is also used to contact the customer if needed. The information is not used for any spam or promotional messages etc.
Our stuff does not have any access to the customers' credit card information. Customer support operators can see only the last four digits of your credit card in the database.

When I found out I was pregnant with my second, I thought, "Okay, they will be three years apart. That's a good spacing." Here's what I didn't understand: I would be thrown into parenting two instead of one at the same time I had a three-year-old. I further didn't understand that the "terrible twos" were a walk in the park. Threes on the other hand. Holy cow! The attitude. The stubbornness. The testing of limits over and over again. Even my mother, who thinks my daughter is just about perfect, has said things like, "Do you ever think that maybe the terrible twos started at three?" or "You weren't that independent at that age."
What I'm saying is, I'm still getting the hang of this whole two-kids thing. I'm lucky to eat lunch, and luckier still if I get to eat it warm. If you follow this blog (and I'm probably just talking to the screen here), bear with me while I figure out how to accomplish more than just keeping my children alive everyday.

LIVINGSTON—Jarmel Kizel Architects and Engineers Inc. recently completed architecture and engineering services for Lithos Restaurant, a new 10,000-sq.-ft. Greek restaurant located on Eisenhower Parkway in Livingston.
Jarmel Kizel provided both schematic and interior design services, as well as architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering services for this project. Some elements to this new design included a new seating plan, fireplace, dining niche, fish display and salad preparation areas, a new bar area, a wine cellar, as well as an exterior pergola, seating area and fireplace.
Dating back to 1805, the site of the new Lithos restaurant was the location of a stagecoach stop between Morristown and Paterson. When the railroad came in following the Civil War, the site became the location of a bed and breakfast inn. The current building dates to the early 20th Century and for 40 years had been the site of Merrigan's Tavern.
Most recently occupying the building was Carmine's Restaurant, which featured an authentic Italian fare menu. Jarmel Kizel also provided architecture and engineering design services for the design of Carmine's for the previous owners. With its original design, Jarmel Kizel incorporated much of the site's history into the design saving many elements of the existing building. These elements remain for Lithos' occupancy.
Lithos, meaning stone in Greek, will feature a menu with traditional fresh fish, lamb, rib eye strips and off-menu Greek specials served every day.
Jarmel Kizel's experience in restaurant design includes locations for T.G.I. Friday's, On The Border, and Bocconi Pasta Pronto, as well as full-service cafés for such leading corporations as Samsung, Pfizer, Bayer Labs and ImClone.

The United Nations is urging the Haitian people to show patience and restraint as they await the results of Sunday's presidential runoff election, in which former first lady Mirlande Manigat faced off against popular singer Michel Martelly.
The U.N. Stabilization Mission in Haiti issued a statement Monday saying the future of the Caribbean nation is at stake. Officials said despite some logistical and administrative problems and isolated acts of violence, the second round concluded in considerably better condition than the initial round last November.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also has reaffirmed the U.N.'s commitment to helping Haiti build a prosperous future. Additionally, the European Union praised the way in which the election was conducted.
Opinion polls indicated Martelly was favored to win. The official results are expected at the end of the month.
Martelly was initially excluded from the runoff until international observers reviewed the first round results and recommended he advance to the second round instead of the ruling party candidate, Jude Celestin. The observers cited fraud and irregularities in the first round of balloting.
Sunday's election took place two days after former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide returned to Haiti from South Africa, where he had been living in exile. Mr. Aristide, who was driven from office by armed rebels in 2004, returned to the Caribbean nation despite U.S. concerns that his presence could destabilize the vote.
Mr. Aristide expressed a desire to go back to Haiti after former dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier made a surprise return in January.
The person who wins the election will succeed outgoing President Rene Preval.
Haiti is the Western Hemisphere's poorest country and has been struggling to rebuild following a devastating earthquake in January of last year. The country also has been dealing with a cholera epidemic that broke out in October, leaving thousands dead.
Mr. Ban recently said there are signs the epidemic is finally coming under control.
Some information for this report provided by AFP and Reuters.

Legionella bacteria found at Altoona VA hospital but officials say water safe
Waterborne Legionella bacteria found in Department of Veterans Affairs medical facilities in Pittsburgh, Butler and North Franklin turned up last month in a VA hospital in Blair County, the VA confirmed Tuesday.
But VA spokeswoman Andrea R. Young said the strain discovered at the James E. Van Zandt VA Medical Center in Altoona does not cause Legionnaires' disease — unlike the bug identified in a deadly outbreak in Pittsburgh in 2011 and 2012. She said water test results on May 28 showed no Legionella pneumophila, the bacteria type blamed in more than 90 percent of reported Legionnaires' cases.
"Our water is currently safe and has been safe to use and drink," Young told the Tribune-Review in an email, the preferred form of communications by VA spokespeople. She said the Altoona VA flushed its water system May 29 with superheated water and injected chlorine to destroy the bacteria.
Young said the facility has had no reported Legionnaires' cases related to the contamination, which she identified as Legionella anisa. That type of the bacteria is common in water supplies and causes illness rarely, likely accounting for fewer than 1 percent of all Legionnaires' cases, said Janet Stout, a former VA microbiologist who runs the Special Pathogens Laboratory, Uptown.
Still, the discovery at the Altoona hospital rattled the American Federation of Government Employees, a national union that represents 570 workers there and nearly 8,900 in Veterans Integrated Service Network 4. The Pittsburgh-based VA service region includes medical centers and clinics in most of Pennsylvania and all or parts of five neighboring states.
In a May 31 letter obtained by the Trib, AFGE General Counsel David A. Borer asked the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration to investigate the presence of Legionella in VA facilities across Pennsylvania.
"The fact that this is continuing to recur — we thought there needs to be a second set of eyes on this," AFGE lawyer J. Ward Morrow told the Trib. "The question for us is not specifically this situation (in Altoona) but the fact that this keeps happening, and it keeps happening in Pennsylvania."
Borer, in his letter, argued workers and patients need assurance that the VA provides a safe environment. He said VISN4 and its director, Michael Moreland, seem to have failed in keeping healthy facilities and in maintaining systems designed to prevent Legionella.
OSHA spokesman Jesse Lawder said Borer's request is under review. VISN4 spokesman David Cowgill did not respond Tuesday to Trib calls and emails for comment.
Meanwhile, AFGE officials cited several known Legionella incidents in VISN4. The Pittsburgh VA outbreak reported from February 2011 to November 2012 sickened as many as 21 veterans at the Oakland and O'Hara campuses, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Five of them died, and the outbreak remains under review by the VA Office of Inspector General, the U.S. Attorney for Western Pennsylvania and a congressional subcommittee.
The VA Butler Healthcare campus announced in December it discovered Legionella but had identified no Legionnaires' cases in connection with the finding. A VA outpatient clinic at Washington Crown Center mall in North Franklin disclosed on May 16 that it, too, found low levels of the bacteria. No related Legionnaires' cases have been reported there, either.

As new, high-end virtual reality headsets from the likes of Oculus, Valve/HTC, and Sony prepare to hit the market in the coming months, potential buyers may rightly wonder which VR solution is most likely to get a critical mass of support from the game development community. A new survey released ahead of March's Game Developers Conference suggests that, so far, the Oculus Rift is drawing outsized interest from those developers.
GDC's 2016 State of the Industry Report surveyed 2,000 professional developers who attended the popular annual trade show during the past three years, asking about their current work and interest in various virtual reality and augmented reality technologies (among other things). The Oculus Rift was by far the most popular VR headset among the surveyed developers, with 19 percent of respondents saying they were currently working on a game for the device. A number of Rift competitors were well behind in a statistical dead heat for second place among active VR developers: Samsung's GearVR at 8 percent of respondents, Google Cardboard at 7 percent, and HTC Vive and PlayStation VR at 6 percent each.
The Rift's lead extends to respondents' thoughts about the platform for their next VR game project; 20 percent say it will be on the Rift, compared to 9 percent for PlayStation VR and 8 percent for the HTC Vive.
Before Oculus backers get too excited, it's worth pointing out that the Rift was still beaten out in the survey by the 25 percent of respondents who said they "are not currently interested in developing for VR/AR headsets." A further 44 percent said they weren't currently working on VR or AR games at the moment but were at least open to the idea of working on VR games.
The Rift's lead in active VR game development might also merely be an outgrowth of developers' generally larger familiarity with Oculus' headset. A full 77 percent of developers in the survey said they had tried the Oculus Rift, compared to just 46 percent for Google Cardboard, 31 percent for GearVR, 21 percent for PlayStation VR, and 19 percent for the HTC Vive. As developers become more aware of the Rift's competition, those platforms may begin to see more developers actively working on them.
Overall, the survey shows increasing numbers of game developers think consumer-grade virtual reality is more than a quickly passing fad this time around. A full 75 percent of respondents said that VR/AR "is a long-term sustainable business to be in," and 86 percent said such headsets will be in at least 10 percent of US households by 2030. That doesn't mean those developers see VR taking over the entire gaming world, though: only 27 percent of respondents said they thought virtual reality headsets would ever surpass the roughly 40 percent of US households that currently have a traditional video game console.

Valve Confirms That A Steam Summer Sale Is Coming
Valve Software is planning one of their now legendary summer sales that will see a number of games on their digital distribution service, Steam, having a very generous discount. All was confirmed by Mike Blaszczak, a software engineer for the company, via the shortest of posts on the Steam forum. This reveal by Valve was prompted by what can only be described as a barrage of requests on the Steam forum about whether there would be a summer sale, as had been the case in previous summers.
The summer sale on Steam is well-known amongst gamers, as you can get massive discounts on a large selection of games and it seems that nothing is too high-profile to be exempt. The discounts can go as far up as 75%, and previous years have seen both BioShock games available for just under £10 ($15.51), and the Half-Life 1 Anthology available for £6.02 ($9.34). So when the sale begins, be sure to hit Steam and find yourself a bargain.
So what is the best deal you've ever received from a Steam Summer Sale? What games do you hope are included and at what discount? Please leave your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

June 25-August 20
The Electronic Gallery
Artists: Man Bartlett and KwanTaeck Park
June 25-August 20
Artists: Man Bartlett and Kwantaeck Park
Curated by Marisa Sage
The Video/Art/Video exhibition is a unique opportunity to feature emerging artists created or exhibited in unique spaces, an opportunity to exhibit works in a more "traditional" gallery space.
By utilizing digital technology (video, audio, text) these works are given a new context, underscoring a more 3rd person, or documentary view of these innovative and creative projects and artists, allowing them to reach a broader audience.
As culture and technology shifts and changes at a truly increasing rate, the work that is timely, becomes quickly the past, as artists continue to explore the landscape of media and technology, and respond to it.
I hope that you will enjoy the artists showcased this summer, and as always The Electronic Gallery strives to present the latest innovations in art and creativity. Please feel welcome to learn more about their artists, by way of visiting their websites, as there is a remarkable about of material and information which was condensed into these five minute presentations.
On behalf of the staff and faculty at Salisbury University, we would like to thank you for visiting, and welcome you to find out more online about our future and upcoming events.
Video/Art/Video: Curators notes and questions: Marisa Sage
Video/Art/Video is an exhibition featuring the work of Man Bartlett and Kwantaeck Park, two artists who've created videos that document original pieces utilizing mediums often viewed as difficult to exhibit in a normal gallery setting. Due to the nature of performance art (in Man Bartletts case) and time sensitive installation work (in Kwantaeck Parks case), the setting of a white cube gallery may not be the ideal atmosphere to experience these ephemeral works. We are instantaneously faced with the temporary nature of both works, Wheres my spring? and #140hBerlin. In Wheres my spring? we are swiftly aware through the use of sound and time-lapse video that ice is melting before our eyes, and in #140hBerlin we quickly realize that we are viewing a work that has already taken place and we have inadvertently become part of the aftermath. As the curator of this summer exhibition in the Electronic Gallery I was very interested in how and why these artists decided to document these memorable works. I also wondered how the documentation of these temporary works changes their effectiveness and how an audience then understands and Interacts with the work?
To answer that, I posed the following questions to the artists. I was hoping to better understand each artists connection to the documentation process, verses their connection to the work itself. I also asked each artist about their individual processes and thinking when creating these pieces:
Marisa Sage: Kwantaeck & Man, the original intention with Video/Art/Video was to show works which document pieces that are "difficult" to exhibit in traditional settings, performances and/or installations which might only exist for one moment; with that idea in mind: A. How does the documentation of your performance and/or installation effect, challenge, or change the work itself? B. Did using video and filming the process of the installation and/or performance change the outcome of the original work in anyway?
Kwantaeck Park: Well, maybe the documentation is one of the most common forms we can see other artists work if we are not able to see actual one. And I think sometimes its more preeminent as many artists get their website. Even though I like the form, which is ephemeral, the documentation is still secondary. That's why I feel some difficulties when I have to show people my work through documentation. Documentation is unavoidable procedure to me and still very tricky. Sometimes a single photo with good description works better than the real time video documentation. So far, in my work, nothing has been changed due to documentation but its true that sometimes I modify arrangements of installation when I document it for better composition.
Man Bartlett: Similar to Beuys, it shapes the narrative. It also does a better job of showing an assemblage of symbols. The "reality" was that for 6 days I was basically trying to figure out what the hell I was doing and why it was important to me. Like I mentioned before, a lot of this had to do with a sort of homelessness. In general I'm moving more towards wanting to completely delete "documentation" in favor of the fleeting, ephemeral. But that's always a tough balance. One solution I've come up with recently is to only keep the last two years of my practice and to destroy the rest. This way I'm not weighed down by my past yet projects can still have some life. Which other people seem to be quite concerned about. Which is funny considering the fantastically short shelf-life that anything has, humans or art and everything. I mean, even in an absolute best case masterpiece scenario a work lasts a few hundred years. The Universe is how old? I mean, no contest. Blinks of an eye. To continue that analogy, I suppose what I seek is a sort of infinite blink. I'm just usually too scaredy-pants to commit to it, hence documentation like video, archived tweet streams, etc.
Marisa: Kwantaeck, could you explain more about "Chevron's Green Campaign", why you choose their campaign, and how the campaign might relate to you personally?
Kwantaeck: Instead of revealing my personal relationship to Chevrons Green Campaign, I might have to talk more about my motivation and process of this piece. As you may guess through the title Wheres my spring?, the idea came out of my personal memory and experience. Not only this piece but also other most of my pieces followed similar sequences. When I get some ideas or something I feel it is problem, I start to investigate what made it happen or what caused it. And I don't hide this process. Rather, it becomes a big part of each of my pieces. I hope myself to be co-researcher with viewers rather than didactic experts. Maybe that's why I put more value on linking my personal experience to bigger structure: the environment or the society where I live.
Lets go back to Wheres my spring?. It starts from my realization that Spring, my favorite season in Korea gets shorter and shorter. Even recently its almost disappeared. There could be numerous reasons for loss of Spring. And I knew its too easy to target a single oil company and blame it for climate changes. Maybe its not even because of oil industries at all as many anti-environmental experts point that its the natural moment of climate change of Earth. So, it is almost impossible to find out a clear single cause.
While I was researching advertisement of oil companies, I found out our reflection. Many oil companies are doing so-called eco-friendly campaign and they are dealing with different methodologies Chevrons Green Campaign was one of them. But more than any other campaigns, Chevrons Green Campaign uses very family-looking photos. I looked at eyes of models in the images. They looked sad. I didn't know why. One thing I was able to be sure with was that the models in the photos are directed. The family-looking photos are not trustable. Maybe the models are actors who were hired for this campaign ad. But strangely I could see myself through their faces. They were our reflections. I felt even if some might argue that many corporations generate fake positive images and try to allure their customers to buy more and consume more in the consumerism era, somehow it could be me or you and us who may not be able to free from being blamed for current environment issues. Because we still use their products and consume their items.
So, Wheres my spring? is not the piece which just seeks a single cause for loss of Spring and condemn it. Rather, its questioning. How come I get clear cause and argue it with absolute truth? That might be what journalist and activists try to do. Chevrons Green Campaign is a kind of backdrop, there's no specific reason they need be more blamed than other oil companies but I believed that their ad images show the ambivalence and contradiction I wanted to talk about more explicitly.
Marisa: Kwantaeck, does the installation change each time you install it, and if so in what way?
Kwantaeck: Yeah, It will definitely change, what you saw is very prototype of my idea. I am hoping I can have a chance to have a single room I can fill it with more number of ice cubes and photos. And also its up to the venue, if I can use two different floors, I would focus on how to visualize rain dropping more effectively.
Marisa: Kwantaeck, how important is the sound element to the final piece?
Kwantaeck: Without sound, I would not work on this piece. I am not saying it is all but its definitely one of the biggest parts of the piece. I hope that viewer can sit or lie down on the floor listening the raindrop in the final piece.
Marisa: Kwantaeck, what other artists or works inspire you, and/or inspired this work?
Kwantaeck: I usually get more inspired by artists whose work came out of their personal experience but reached to others beyond self-portrait, resonated in viewers heart too. I like On Kawara, Janet Cardiff, James Turrell, Pedro Reyes, and Michael Rakowitz, etc.
Marisa: Man, what compelled you to retake/reinterpret "I Like America and America Likes Me"? Would you describe specific elements of the piece as an appropriation of Joseph Beuys original performance?
Man: I had just learned about that particular performance and was blown away by it. I was also a little suspect of it, and wanted to try flex it for "our time." In that regard I was initializing a bridge to a sort of social media shamanism, while maintaining a healthy dose of the absurd.
It was probably more substitution than appropriation. Which is maybe not giving it enough credit, but I literally remember thinking, ok, what's the craziest shit I can think of? Hence a stretch limo Hummer, turkey, etc. But then once I was embodying the performance, in front of a live stream with people all around the world watching, and myself hidden beneath the flag, I found myself pretty helpless, and homeless. The question for me then became, what does it mean to be "American?" To be a citizen. It sounds trite, but that's what was going through my head.
Marisa: Man, when you created #140hBerlin, did you also hope to incorporate Beuys ideas such as his social philosophies and/or ideas of the artist as shaman,into your work?
Man: To some degree, yes. Beuys definitely had a way of giving his work a very specific kind of Power. I was seeking a similar Power in my own way, while trying to share that with the public. I was also trying to stay as open as possible to allow new perspectives to shape the experience.
Marisa: Man, to further elaborate on the previous question: By performing on the streets of Berlin, rather than only in one specific room during your multipart performance, did your lack of isolation intend to speak to specific parts of American or German culture, just as Beuys intentional isolation had a very specific meaning?
Man: Here the editing is misleading, as the amount of time I spent on the street was literally a matter of minutes, compared to 6 full days inside the gallery. Sleeping there, not showering, etc. I was very much isolated from the outside world during those 6 days. The editing of this video followed the general arc of the original, although Beuys had assistants covering him up and taking him on the gurney into the gallery. Ironically I've been told by numerous sources that Beuys only spent a few hours in the gallery where he performed, and that he dined out, and actually saw New York. In other words, he crafted the narrative he wanted to craft. And that's kind of lame, but pretty par for the course with 20th Century mega-artists.
Marisa: Man, lastly, a lot of your work utilizes live streaming, can you explain why that is and why you think this might be important to the experience as a whole? When I ask this I am trying to understand if you are using live streaming as a vehicle for participation, or more as a method of creating a larger audience, or both?
Man: I think it's mostly a method to make the audience feel more comfortable to participate. Sometimes that participation is literally as passive as just watching. Other times I ask a little more of an audience. I'm constantly experimenting. Constantly seeking for different ways to engage people. But if there's one thing I've learned it's that there's no one formula for a successful project. Which is both maddening and welcoming.

whats the reason clossing the website?
If so, can you release the Block N Load hack source?
sure, it's nothing special and most likely outdated:https://pastebin.com/EU0sw6h2
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that shows you tried.
Does it indicate a partner with a website similar to your DC?
Why this stupid games instead of improving their anticheats they dedicate themselves(just like nexon) to sue DC for making hacks lol. Instead of spending loads of money on that shit I think they should invest it on improving their AC's.
If you're a company like Nexon with loads of money and a team of lawyers, it's easy to go after the little guy.
