The other day I was riding my new expensive hybrid. I say "expensive" because you would think I would want to be extra special careful with it and it would be a priority over my BlackBerry - well I do want to take extra special care of it. I love it!
So I figured out a way to find a front pouch that sits on my handle bars and I can just put my BlackBerry in it. I thought what a great idea then I can check messages and answer calls. One big problem, a call came in and I did as planned....however, I hit the brakes with one hand while answering the BlackBerry with the other hand and almost ended up with major injuries. I don't want to be without my BlackBerry while on my bike and was wondering if you had any suggestions to do both?! Thank you,
- Almost Flattened
Dear "Almost Flattened",
Yes, I completely understand and applaud you for being inventive and finding a pack for your bike in the front for easy access to your BlackBerry. But you will be happy to know there is an easy solution to your problem (a friend of mine uses this as do I). Just get yourself a Bluetooth ear piece. That way your BlackBerry can stay in the pouch and you can answer and hang up calls by just pressing a button on the ear piece of the Bluetooth head set. I'm sure you wear a helmet ;-) - please do if you don't - and the helmet will actually help hold the ear piece in place as well. As for checking messages, that's more of a challenge and I suggest you do that when you break for a drink or something. Sorry, I know the wait is difficult!
Be careful out there. Enjoy your wonderful hybrid bike and by all means, make sure to push on both sides of the brakes at the same time (I myself have learned that lesson the hard way ;-) )!

Revealed: Former wife of philandering pro-life Republican congressman had TWO abortions he agreed to before their marriage
- Rep Scott DesJarlais' 2001 divorce transcripts show that he signed off on his wife's two abortions in 1995
- Family-values conservative had multiple affairs with patients and co-workers while he worked at a hospital
- A 10-year-old tape has emerged of Republican Dr Scott DesJarlais urging his then mistress - and patient - to have an abortion
- Ex-wife provided his political opponent with a transcript of the tape
- His re-election team claim it is old news and 'character assassination'
- On the tape, the woman tells him: 'Well, it's your fault for sleeping with your patient'
Republican Tennessee Congressman Scott DesJarlais, known for his pro-life position, testified during divorce proceedings that he and his ex-wife made a 'mutual' decision for her to have two abortions, according to transcripts released on Thursday.
The 2001 court transcripts were made public by the state Democratic Party, which had tried to air the documents before the November 6 election.
DesJarlais easily won a second term despite revelations that he once urged a 24-year-old patient with whom he was having an affair to get an abortion.

Victory: DesJarlais, center, easily won a second term despite damaging revelations that he once urged a patient with whom he was having an affair to get an abortion
The 48-year-old congressman, whose campaign platform opposed abortion, acknowledged the conversation but said he was only trying to get her to admit she wasn't pregnant.
The transcripts obtained by the Chattanooga Times Free Press show that woman testified under oath that she had been expecting. She declined to elaborate on the outcome of the pregnancy.
On his campaign website, DesJarlais espoused an anti-abortion position, saying: 'All life should be cherished and protected. We are pro-life.' The 48-year-old medic also scored a 100 per cent rating from the National Right to Life.
According to DesJarlais' testimony, the first of his ex-wife, Susan's, abortions was because she was taking an experimental drug that carried potential risks in pregnancy. The second came amid problems in their relationship. Both pregnancies were terminated before the couple got married in 1995.
'Things were not going well between us and it was a mutual decision,' he said. 'I don't think that it was easy for either one of us. I think it was a very difficult and poor choice and I think that there are probably regrets both ways.'
DesJarlais' first wife had supported earlier efforts to release the court records, though her attorney said Thursday he hadn't had time to review them enough to comment.
More trouble: According to newly released transcripts from DesJarlais' divorce proceedings, the 48-year-old pro-lifer signed off on his wife's two abortions in 1995
Tennessee Democratic Party Chairman Chip Forrester issued a statement to NewsChannel5 in response to the explosive revelations, saying ion part:
'Congressman Scott DesJarlais' lies have come home to roost. Just like he abused his power as a doctor and violated the trust of his patients, he has betrayed those who have defended him by deceiving them about his affairs with patients.
Unfaithful: The documents claim that DesJarlais, who ran on a family-values platform, had multiple affairs with at least two patients and several co-workers
'DesJarlais has acted irresponsibly, his actions are contemptible and his tangled web of deceit is sickening. Scott DesJarlais should be barred from practicing medicine, and he should give up his seat in Congress to make way for someone worthy of the trust that Tennesseans instill in their elected officials.'
The 670-page divorce transcript also revealed that DesJarials who ran on a conservative, family-values platform, had sexual relationships with at least two patients, three co-workers and a drug representative while he was chief of staff at Grandview Medical Center in Jasper, Tennesse, in 2000 while he was married to first wife.
DesJarlais could potentially lose his medical license since doctors are prohibited from engaging in sexual relationships with patients.
According to the American Medical Association, 'Sexual contact that occurs concurrent with the patient-physician relationship constitutes sexual misconduct.'
During the 2001 divorcé trial, the physician-turned politician challenged the idea that his conduct, which included writing prescriptions for one of his paramours, was in any way reprehensible.
'I don't feel real obligated to respond to that. I think it's ludicrous,' he said.
The release of the divorce documents comes a month after a transcript of DesJarlais' conversation with his former lover was made public, revealing that he pressured the 24-year-old woman tohave an abortion.
'You told me you'd have an abortion, and now we're getting too far along without one,' Dr DesJarlais is quoted as saying. 'If we need to go to Atlanta, or whatever, to get this solved and get it over with so we can get on with our lives, then let's do it.'
A phone transcript has emerged of pro-life congressman Scott DesJarlais urging his pregnant mistress to get an abortion more than a decade ago
Democratic state Sen. Eric Stewart has said the transcripts prove Dr DesJarlais can't be trusted
The DesJarlais campaign did not dispute the contents of the transcript, first reported by the Huffington Post, but condemned the circulation of 'desperate personal attacks.'
Excerpt from transcripts of Rep Scott DesJarlais' cross-examination:
Q. Now, you and [PATIENT NAME]
carried on for about from January of 2000 to April of 2000, did you not?
A. Four months.
Q. According to you?
A. Yes.
Q. And then you kept calling her in June of 2000 after you and Susan had been reconciled, didn't you?
A. I called her a couple of times.
Q. Phone records indicate that?
A. Yes.
Q. And she was an employee of the hospital?
A. No.
Q. She was a patient of yours?
A. Yes.
Q. And you wrote her prescriptions and you have told us about your concern about these prescriptions, but you wrote her prescriptions, did you not, Doctor, give her medicine, drugs?
A. I wrote patients prescriptions, yes.
Q. I'm talking about [PATIENT NAME], the lady you are sleeping with.
A. Yes, she is a patient and I wrote her prescriptions.
Q. Okay. So we have got a patient that you are sleeping with that you are writing prescriptions to?
A. Yes.

'This is old news from the last election cycle that Tennesseans have already widely rejected,' spokesman Robert Jameson said in an email.
the congressman's opponents cannot attack him on his independent,
conservative and pro-life record in Congress they have once again
resorted to pure character assassination,' he said.
DesJarlais, who has a surgery in Jasper, a suburb of Chattanooga, defeated Democratic Rep. Lincoln Davis in 2010.
Davis said his campaign was aware of the transcript during that race, but he wasn't able to confirm its authenticity until a recent conversation with DesJarlais' ex-wife Susan. Their divorce was finalized in 2001.
'She said it was true, and she said, "He made the recording himself and let me listen to it,"' said Davis.
'She even went further to say that the woman who supposedly was the participant in the conversation said in (legal proceedings) that she did have an abortion.'
The transcript is part of a 200-page memorandum of court records detailing Dr DesJarlais' divorce.
It's not the first time Dr DesJarlais' marital problems have surfaced. The Davis campaign in 2010 ran ads highlighting allegations from court records that said Dr DesJarlais intimidated his ex-wife with a gun, and in one instance put it in his mouth for three hours. The judge who granted the divorce in 2001 criticized the conduct of both the husband and wife.
In the newly surfaced transcript, Dr DesJarlais refers to the toll the marital issues had been taking on him.
'I've been going crazy,' he said. 'I mean, if Susan could talk to you she'd tell you that I've been psychotic for months over this.'

He said he wasn't sleeping at night, adding, 'I mean, it's like I'm trying to build my family back together just waiting for it to fall apart, and it's been eating me apart.'
Dr DesJarlais appears to blame the woman for becoming pregnant.
'You lied to me about something that caused us to be in this situation, and that's not my fault, that's yours,' he said.
The woman retorts: 'Well, it's your fault for sleeping with your patient.'

The Maryville City Council is looking to reduce the speed limit on East Lamar Alexander Parkway from the intersection with Washington Street to the city limits near Waters Road (about a quarter mile past Little River Trading Company). The speed limit is currently 50 mph and will be changed to 45 mph.
As part of a recent traffic impact study, it was determined a 45-mph speed limit is more consistent with an urban, curb and gutter roadway with a center turn lane and multiple driveway openings spaced very close together.
The speed limit on East Lamar Alexander Parkway past the Washington Street intersection, towards town, is already 40 mph or less, depending on location.
Now if the City of Alcoa would take a lesson from Maryville and lower the speed limit on Alcoa Highway. Better yet, add a traffic light.

One of the ongoing temptations here at GetReligion -- for the GetReligionistas as well as the reader/commentators -- is to focus on interesting events and trends in religion news, instead of keeping our unique focus on how the mainstream press attempts to cover those stories in an accurate, balanced, professional manner. The bottom line: This is not a religion-news blog; this is a blog about how the mainstream press wrestles with coverage of religion news. It helps to read that "What we do, why we do it" post every now and then.
Now, we also do our "Got news?" posts about stories that journalists seem to be missing. We also comment on op-eds and essays that are directly focused on religion news or trends that shape mainstream religion news (like the victory of European journalism at nonNewsweek battles). If something is linked to religion news, we have to consider writing about it.
For example, consider Godbeat veteran Cathy Lynn Grossman's short USA Today report the other day: "Survey: Protestant clergy back gay rights, not marriage."
As the text of her story makes clear, the headline urgently needed another word -- an adjective such as "mainline" or "oldline" -- to modify that broad, broad word "Protestant." Note the crucial word "seven" in the second paragraph, as in "seven sisters." Here's the top of the report:
Most mainline Protestant clergy do not support legalizing gay marriage, even if they're not required to officiate at same-sex ceremonies.
It was the only point on which the majority did not support gay rights, according to a survey of clergy from the seven historic mainline Protestant denominations to which 18% of Americans belong. The Clergy Voices Survey, conducted by Public Religion Research, is based on 2,658 responses from clergy from the United Methodist Church; Evangelical Lutheran Church of America; Episcopal Church; United Church of Christ, Presbyterian Church USA; American Baptist Church; and the Disciples of Christ.
These are, of course, the major churches of the religious left. Yet on another level, they are not -- for the simple reason that there are giant fissures inside these churches between seminaries and local churches, between local pastors and bureaucratic leaders, between pews in red zip codes and those in blue. Consider the Anglican-Episcopal wars, for starters. It is way too simplistic to say that the "seven sisters" are totally on one side or the other, in the battles over basic doctrines in Christianity.
That's why Grossman's little poll story is important. In a few lines, it explains why these horrific wars roll on and on over on the Protestant left and in churches to the left of center. When it comes to changing the definition of marriage itself, which essentially means saying that ancient forms of Christianity have been wrong for 2,000 years, then pastors find it hard to shout, "Amen!"
Only 33% say gay couples should be allowed to marry, 32% would allow civil unions, and 35% call for "no legal recognition" for same-sex couples. Support for same-sex marriage grew to 46% if laws specified that clergy would not be required to perform a religious ceremony in contradiction with their denomination's teachings.
"We find that on these issues, the clergy views are fairly in line with the laity views," said Robert Jones, president of Public Religion Research.
Thus, the story never seems to go away. That's bad news for people on the left and the right in these oldline conflicts.

Ubisoft revealed at its Ubidays press conference in Paris on Wednesday that it's working on a game based on the upcoming James Cameron movie Avatar. Moreoever, Ubisoft claims that the game will use innovative new 3D technology.
Cameron, the director of Aliens, True Lies, and the all-time blockbuster Titanic, is filming his new sci-fi alien movie with stereoscopic 3D in mind, sort of like the 1950s movies that took advantage of 3D glasses. Rumor has it that the game will also utilize some of the same technologies.
While little is known about the game, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot seemed very happy about the secretive technology.
The movie has a December 18, 2009, release date; considering most movie licensed games release roughly the same time as their movie counterparts, hopefully we don't have to wait that long for more information on the game.

Made such a crap transfer last week. I removed Cresswell as i thought after West ham let 2 in to Leicester followed by 4 against Bournemouth away at Anfield wouldn't be a good source of points. Cresswell then goes on to get 12 pts in a 3-0 win. Oh, who did i have instead? Clyne of Liverpool who got 0. So a swing there of 12 pts. Shocking. Mind you, most of my wildcard changes have done well and there prices are increasing (Kompany, Shaw, Ayew, Aguero and MD Diouf) whereas a lot of the players i transferred out have gone down. i just need to have a week where i pick a captain who gets more than 2 pts now!

text: Seniors serenade loved ones with holiday songs Twin Cedars' seniors sang a great holiday show for all assembled (Photo provided) SHOHOLA — For several weeks, the seniors practiced singing their favorite holiday songs for a Dec. 22 concert for residents and family members.Twin Cedars' activities director Elaine Stine coordinated this special event, which was standing room only. The living and dining room areas of the assisted living facility in Shohola were packed with visitors arriving to see their loved one perform. Residents Gerard Selman and Floyd Nower both brought down the house with solos. Resident Michael Sepanak sang a duet with Elaine Stine as the guests and other residents cheered them on. Ms. Stine has been guiding and leading the seniors for this special concert for 15 years. "It was very special to see all the family members come at this busy time of year to see their loved ones sing," said Stine. Family members stayed to share eggnog and holiday cheer.In addition to the holiday concert, Stine continues to make it her personal mission to ensure that the residents have a wonderful and joyous holiday season each year, and that each senior has several gifts to unwrap on Christmas morning. Many of the residents' gifts are collected through donations from local churches, as well as through their family members. This Christmas morning Santa made his annual visit to Twin Cedar's to deliver these gifts to the residents. "I would like to personally thank the organizations who donated items to our seniors to make this Christmas special for them," said Twin Cedar's Owner, Tamara Singer. "I would like to express gratitude and appreciation to the Salvation Army and People Helping People from St. Patrick's Church in Milford. The residents were delighted with their generous gifts."

Sid Meier's Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies, the sequel to 2K's great World War I-era dogfighting strategy game, has been announced for this fall.
Pacific Skies will take players to the some of the most famous aerial battles of World War II — including Midway and Pearl Harbor — as both American and Japanese pilots. Strategic, turn-based gameplay will make a return, as well as pilot customization, maneuver upgrades, and varied, objective-based missions.
According to 2K, Pacific Skies "draws inspiration from the war stories of famed military advisors." Like its predecessor, Sid Meier's Ace Patrol, the game will be available on iOS and Steam for Windows. We preferred the mobile version.
Check out IGN later this week for hands-on demo impressions with Pacific Skies.

"I actually began to feel sorry for the groups of tourists we'd glimpse being herded around on buses or boats, isolated from the experience we were having with our customized Galapagos tour. Thank you Rick."
Let's Get The Real Galapagos On Your Schedule!
Creating customized private tours involves more communication than most people booking vacations are accustomed to. We'll need to get to know you a little in order to serve you the best we're able. It will also allow you the security of getting to know us a little better too.
Most of our guests have their own Galapagos National Park guide the entire time they are here, chartered boats and private experiences. This can be expensive if there are only two in the group. When we first started the company we didn't think we would be receiving many couples for this reason. Turns out that about a third of our "groups" are couples.
We have also developed a more economic manner for couples to travel with us that involves joining existing day tours to various sites rather than having chartered boats and personal Galapagos National Park guide.
Each customized Galapagos tour is designed for each group's particular travel dates, needs, interests, abilities, etc. Click here for more specific tour information.
We'd like to work with you in planning the best possible vacation for you. You can start by just dropping us a line at email@example.com or you can fill out the form below.
Three easy steps:
|#1 Fill out and submit the information request below.
|#2 Together we'll design your vacation, at your request we'll call you from the Galapagos to expedite the process, we'll send you an outline of dates and costs and once we've coordinated with you to confirm your international airline flight, we'll send you an "e-bill" from Pay Pal which will allow you to easily make the deposit required to reserve your trip.
|#3 Reserve your vacation with a deposit made by check, Paypal or direct deposit into our business checking account with BBVA Compass Bank in California.
Final payment is due in full 60 days prior to departure.

Back In Action!
It has been long since last time I posted here. I was on a long family trip and got caught up between making art and taking care of some family stuff.
I had a three months internship with Rising Sun Energy Center in Berkeley (March 10th - June 10th) then went to Dubai to see the family.. then to Syria where we had our family get-together .. we went to Turkey (this is when my computer crashed) .. back to Damascus.. then back to the UAE!
right now i am in the process of saving the non backed-up stuff on my laptop and finishing up a couple of projects that I have started.
while in Syria, I heard about some Syrian Illustrator sort of a deal. A book is being put together featuring the talents of artists from that region.. I got in.. and currently working on some comic pages for the project.
more to come..

Iblis/ work in progress
I haven't been able to finish any pieces lately, but did a lot of drawings. As I was looking through the drawings I did in the past month or so I picked a couple that can be pushed further.
This was done on a 17" *14" piece of paper. I had to scan the drawing in pieces and patch it together on Photoshop, which was not fun!
When I drew this I wasn't really intending to have a fully colored piece. Right now I am experimenting with different colors and compositions on Photoshop, and planning to bring it to finish.Iblis is the Arabic name of Lucifer.

Healthier Mozzarella Sticks
Trying to drop a few pounds or just eat healthier but keep craving salty snacks? If you're like us, sometimes you just need some mozzarella sticks. And now you have some — guilt-free!
What You Need:
12 sticks of string cheese in your choice of cheese; go for the low sodium kind if you want to be extra healthy
1 egg
2 tbsp of flour
5 tbsp of bread crumbs
2 tbsp of Parmesan cheese
A dollop of olive oil, or cooking spray
SEE: 5 Non-Beef Burgers for You Next BBQ
Cut the cheese sticks in half, making 24 slices, then freeze the slices in the freezer until completely frozen
Beat the egg in a small bowl. Use a separate bowl to combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese
To bread the cheese sticks: First dip the frozen cheese stick into the flour, then into the egg, then into the bread crumb mixture
Once all of the 24 sticks are coated, place them on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil coated with a few drops of olive oil or sprayed with cooking spray (this will keep cleanup to a minimum, and keep the sticks from sticking!)
Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 4 minutes, or until crisp. They need to be watched closely so they don't melt completely!
SEE: 10 No-Cook Recipes For When It's Like An Over Outside
What makes them healthier? They're home cooked with less butter, they're baked instead of fried, and cheese sticks are a naturally lower calorie cheese snack. You can also add Italian spices or herbs to the recipe, adding them into the bowl with the bread crumb mixture. Serve with marinara sauce and enjoy!

The California Court of Appeal's recent decision in Leos v. Darden Restaurants, Inc. continues the nationwide trend of courts enforcing arbitration provisions according to their terms.
The two plaintiffs alleged causes of action against their former employer, Darden Restaurants, Inc. under the Fair Employment and Housing Act and common law causes of action. They also sought declaratory relief that Darden's arbitration provision was unenforceable.
When both employees were hired, they signed an acknowledgment stating they had read and reviewed Darden's dispute resolution process (DRP) booklet containing the arbitration provision at issue. After the plaintiffs filed their lawsuit, Darden filed a motion to compel arbitration pursuant to the DRP. The DRP provides a four-step process for the parties to resolve their dispute, the last of which allows either the employee or Darden to submit the matter to binding arbitration according to the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
Darden filed its motion to compel arbitration pursuant to the California Arbitration Act (CAA). The plaintiffs opposed the motion, claiming the arbitration provision was unconscionable and thus did not satisfy the requirements set forth in California precedent. Following the trial court's denial of the motion to compel arbitration on the ground that the arbitration provision was unconscionable, Darden appealed.
Is it unconscionable?
The Court of Appeals acknowledged that United States Supreme Court precedent behooves the invalidation of arbitration agreements if the court finds that generally applicable contract defenses, such as unconscionability, apply to such agreements. Unconscionability has both a procedural and substantive element. Procedural unconscionability focuses on oppression or surprise due to unequal bargaining power, whereas substantive unconscionability focuses on overly harsh or one-sided results. The Court of Appeals reiterated that both procedural and substantive unconscionability must be present in order for a court to refuse to enforce a contract because it is unconscionable, but not to the same degree. The more substantively oppressive a contract term, the less evidence of procedural unconscionability is required to conclude that a term is unenforceable, and vice versa.
Because the plaintiffs were required to sign the DRP acknowledgments as conditions of employment, could not negotiate the terms of the DRP and had no meaningful choice in the matter, the Darden court quickly concluded that the DRP was procedurally unconscionable.
Such a quick analysis of procedural unconscionability leads to a lower required finding of substantive unconscionability as sufficient to render the term or contract unenforceable as unconscionable. The plaintiffs argued that the arbitration provision was substantively unconscionable in five respects, and the Court of Appeals dismissed each argument in turn.
The plaintiffs argued that the provision of the DRP stating that it "may be updated from time to time as required by law" rendered the entire arbitration provision illusory and unenforceable, or that it constituted an unconscionable clause. The Darden court rejected this argument, expressing its confusion as to how "a clause permitting a modification as required by law can itself be unlawful. If a particular modification is required by law, then the change is necessary to avoid the very result that plaintiffs seek here – the invalidation of the arbitration provision."
The plaintiffs also challenged three clauses in the DRP's arbitration provision governing discovery. The Court of Appeal held the provisions governing discovery did not hinder the employees' ability to vindicate their statutory rights because one of the goals of arbitration is to streamline dispute proceedings. Because all of the challenged provisions were subject to change upon the arbitrator's determination of good cause, the limitations did not render the arbitration provision unconscionable.
The Court of Appeal quickly dismissed the plaintiff's contention that because the DRP provided that the employee may choose to arrange for a court reporter at his or her own cost, the plaintiffs were unfairly burdened with arbitration expenses. Were the cause of action pursued in a civil action, the plaintiff would still have to pay such an expense pursuant to the California Rules of the Court; thus, Darden was permitted to impose the same cost requirements in an arbitration proceeding.
The plaintiffs also argued that the DRP arbitration provision lacked mutuality and did not constitute a bilateral agreement because it contained a clause permitting either party to request available temporary or preliminary injunctive remedies. The Darden Court rejected this argument, noting that the arbitration clause did not provide the employer more rights and remedies than would be available to the employee. The arbitration agreement also did not exempt claims likely to be brought by an employer from arbitration yet require arbitration of claims likely to be brought by an employee.
The plaintiffs finally contended that the DRP's prohibition on class or collective actions in arbitration was unconscionable. The Court of Appeal rejected this argument as irrelevant because the plaintiffs did not bring a class or collective action.
The Court of Appeal thus reversed the denial of the motion to compel arbitration following a finding that the DRP contained procedural unconscionability but not substantive unconscionability.
Despite the trend, reason to take care
This is a significant California case that furthers the trend of courts enforcing arbitration agreements according to their terms even when there are elements of procedural unconscionability involved. However, this case involved a "pro-employee" arbitration clause with substantial protections and should be viewed in the context of California cases on arbitration as a whole. While the pendulum does appear to be swinging in favor of arbitration clauses, employers should not view this as a carte-blanche endorsement of all such clauses going forward. Employers must be careful in drafting their arbitration agreements to make sure that the agreements do not curtail employees' substantive rights, and California courts will likely consider these cases based on a review of the particular elements of the arbitration clause, and the particular way it is applied in the situation before it.

The skyline of Frozen Assets offers a pantheon of the moment's newest architectural icons. Fueled by the labor made available by vast unemployment during the Depression, giant structures were built across the city at breakneck speed, rapidly transforming New York's topography. Rivera departs from Manhattan's true layout: this is a composite image, made by moving landmarks from their actual positions in the city's grid to create a dense, almost uninterrupted sequence of towering modern buildings.
In July 1931 the architect Raymond Hood and his team broke ground on Rockefeller Center, at the time the largest building project ever funded wholly by private capital. The site, which took seven years to complete, was a vital source of employment in New York. During a moment when 64 percent of the city's construction workers were unemployed, the building of Rockefeller Center was second only to the undertakings of the Works Progress Administration in temporary job creation.
At the time of Rivera's visit to New York, the city's system of elevated trains was still operational. This is probably a stop on the Third Avenue line. Rivera's passengers, an anonymous mass crowded onto a station platform, are dwarfed by the enormous buildings that rise behind them. His bleak vision contrasts with images of the city's transit system by American artists like Reginald Marsh, who similarly pinpointed trains as a hallmark of urban life in the city. In images like The El (c. 1928), Marsh focuses on the spectacle that unfolds inside the train, offering a relatively picturesque view.
The central section of Frozen Assets pictures a steel-and-glass shed—identified by Fortune magazine as the Municipal Pier at East 25th Street—filled with sleeping men who are watched by a guard. The Depression's impact on the city would have been immediately visible to Rivera in the winter of 1931–32: bread lines served tens of thousands of meals a day, roughly half of New York's manufacturing plants were closed, and makeshift shacks housed scores of newly homeless men and women throughout the city.
In 1931, The New Yorker reported that the bank vault found in this fresco panel's lower section was inspired by Rivera's trip to the Irving Trust building at One Wall Street, which at the time bragged that its underground repository was "the most impregnable ever constructed." Financial institutions figure prominently in this work's imagined skyline, creating a constellation of buildings that connect to the theme of hidden wealth.
Rivera seems to have included a sly jab at the Rockefellers—key backers of his show at MoMA and future patrons of his ill-fated mural at Rockefeller Center—in the lower register of Frozen Assets. The man waiting to examine his security box bears more than a passing likeness to John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and the craggy profile of the of the clerk on the far left brings to mind John D. Rockefeller, Sr. Years earlier, Rivera had used a portrait of the elder Rockefeller in a panel at the Secretaría de Educación Pública in Mexico that openly disparaged U.S. capitalism.

Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.
Any errors are indicative of a memory problem.
If a known good stick fails in a motherboard slot it is probably the slot.
Driver verifier
Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.
So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).
Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Special Pool", "Force Pending I/O Requests" and "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.
Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen.
Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly.
The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out.
If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation.
Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.
If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

The eight-year $170m (£85m) deal with world governing body Fifa would be useful in "driving business" Visa said.
It comes after Fifa paid rival credit card firm Mastercard $90m to settle a bitter sponsorship dispute.
Mastercard has sponsored each World Cup since 1990 and beleived it had first refusal to extend the deal for the 2010 and 2014 tournaments.
It took legal action against Fifa after the organisation struck what it argued was a conflicting deal with Visa.
'Global sporting property'
When it settled with Fifa on 21 June, Mastercard said it no longer wanted to work with the Zurich-based governing body.
The Mastercard sponsorship deal had been worth about $180m.
Visa will pay $170m for the sponsorship, $10m less than it had originally bid, Fifa President Joseph Blatter said.
Visa already sponsors the Olympic Games and the Rugby World Cup.
"We look forward to activating our FIFA partnership," said John Elkins, executive vice president at Visa International.
"We know first hand how valuable a global sporting property can be in driving business."

Ewan McGregor for Jane Got A Gun?
- Bang Showbiz
- 7 May 2013
Ewan McGregor has reportedly entered talks to star in 'Jane Got A Gun', a Western film starring Natalie Portman and Joel Edgerton
Ewan McGregor is in talks to star in 'Jane Got A Gun'.
The 'Impossible' actor has entered negotiations to play the main villain in the Western film - which has been hampered by cast departures - according to Deadline.
McGregor would replace Bradley Cooper in the antagonist role opposite 'Zero Dark Thirty' actor Joel Edgerton and Natalie Portman.
Edgerton was originally cast in the role but was later switched to a protagonist role after 'X-Men: First Class' actor Michael Fassbender dropped out of the movie.
Jude Law was next to fill the role, however, he also exited the project after original director Lynne Ramsay quit the production just a day before production was due to get under way.
Cooper was then cast in the role but also departed, citing a scheduling conflict. The actor's latest flick, 'American Hustle' - which reunites him with 'Silver Linings Playbook' director David O'Russell and actress Jennifer Lawrence - has faced a production setback following the Boston Marathon bombings last month, making it impossible for him to juggle the two roles.
The Western film centres on a woman who turns to her gunman ex-lover to protect her husband from an outlaw gang.
The flick is being directed by Gavin O'Connor and produced by Portman, Scott Steindorff and Aleen Keshishian.

text: Country music industry leader Joe Talbot died at his Nashville home on Friday, March 24, one day short of his 73rd birthday. He was diagnosed with lung cancer four weeks ago. Talbot started his music career playing steel guitar with Hank Snow's Rainbow Ranch Boys from 1950 to 1954. During his time with Snow, he earned a Vanderbilt University law degree. Following various stints practicing law, selling Rickenbacker guitars and working at radio stations, Talbot became a fixture on Music Row as a song publisher and leading record manufacturer. His Nashville pressing plant, United Record Pressing, made vinyl discs for Elvis Presley and Motown Records acts. Talbot was a lifetime director, past board chairman and past president of the Country Music Association. He was also a past board chairman of the Country Music Foundation, which operates the Country Music Hall of Fame. Between 1967-71, he managed the Nashville chapter of SESAC, a performance rights organization. Funeral services are set for today in Nashville.

Want to run faster? I have 10 tips for you. They will really help you. #1) Leave your change, random keys, pens, and any other jingling thing at home.
#2) 40 degrees is not cold. 20 below is. Remember your body will get warm. Really, it will. Dress lightly. You probably don't need ear muffs, 2 pairs of pants, 3 shirts, 1 jacket AND the parka. See you just lost 5 pounds.
#3) Race number goes on the front of your body, NOT your back (unless in some rare race they give you 2 race bibs and instructions to do so). By wearing your race number on the front it lets the race officials know that you are in the race and not crashing the party. We don't need any more party crashers if you know what I mean:)
#4) If you must stop at the water stations, and don't want to get pushed down by human plows please for the sake of all us, grab your cup and run till AFTER the stop. You'll be able to run faster because you won't have to pick yourself up off the ground.
#5) Start in the right corral. If you run a 6 minute pace, you know where you need to be. If you run a 12 minute pace, yes, you are in the corral that is further back. There is a reason. You don't want to get run over by the speedy people. And second, it is not kind to the other runners who have to leap over you. Call it "race niceness".
#6) Arrive early. Not on time. You'll save yourself stress of finding a parking spot, lines to the potty's, and of course the starting line.
#7) You don't need to eat every carb & protein in sight. Have a banana. Or a bagel. Skip the Egg McMuffin, donut,
#8) Water. Depending on the race distance, you generally don't need to chug down a gallon of water before hand. All that will happen is you'll be searching for a tree rather than the finish line. NOT a good idea. Hydrate during the week. You can't cram hydration!
#9) For women only: it's called running, not a beauty pageant. Leave the makeup, perfume at home. Your fellow runners will thank you. Trust me.
#10) For men only: Wear deodorant, but not the whole stick. And please wear shorts that cover everything. I am sure you are proud of what's underneath (as your sig other is as well) but for the love of god, we don't want to see it. Trust me. Seriously. We don't.
Now go run. You should be at least 10 pounds lighter. How's that for a quick weight lost plan?!

On October 27th my husband and I had our wedding celebration at the Pretty Penny in Nyack, New York. Thanks to all of the help and support from our family and friends, our wedding day was truly special.
Although it took a lot of time and energy and a lot of help from my friends and family, I had a lot of fun making a lot of handmade things for our wedding.
We got apples from our local farm, Dr. Davies Farm. I wrote everyone's name's on the apples and used them instead of place cards.
I made this hair piece with a hot glue gun, a hair clip and the cloth from my mother's veil from when she got married.
I arranged this bouquet of flower's and wrapped it with burlap to give it a more natural touch.
This is me having my makeup done 🙂
This was our lovely flower girl (by the way, she threw leaves instead of flowers 😉
I made burlap runners for each table and scattered gords around the center.
Pumpkins and apples were scattered throughout to give the place a real autumn feel.
This chocolate cake was our wedding cake made by my father-in-law. It was the most delicious chocolate cake that I have ever had!

When you use a web framework like Tornado, which is single threaded with an event loop (like nodejs familiar with that), and you need persistency (ie. a database) there is one important questions you need to ask yourself:
If it's going to be a really fast query (for example, selecting a small recordset by key (which is indexed)) it'll be quicker to just do it in a blocking fashion. It means less CPU work to jump between the events.
However, if the query is going to be potentially slow (like a complex and data intensive report) it's better to execute the query asynchronously, do something else and continue once the database gets back a result. If you don't all other requests to your web server might time out.
Another important question whenever you work with a database is:
This question is related to the D in ACID and doesn't have anything specific to do with Tornado. However, the reason you're using Tornado is probably because it's much more performant that more convenient alternatives like Django. So, if performance is so important, is durable writes important too?
Let's cut to the chase... I wanted to see how different databases perform when integrating them in Tornado. But let's not just look at different databases, let's also evaluate different ways of using them; either blocking or non-blocking.
What the benchmark does is:
I can vary the number of records ("X") and sum the total wall clock time it takes for each database engine to complete all of these tasks. That way you get an insert, a select, an update and a delete. Realistically, it's likely you'll get a lot more selects than any of the other operations.
pymongo!! Using the blocking version without doing safe writes.
uuid4, converted to JSON and stored as a key
(safe) on the engine it means to tell MongoDB to not respond until it has with some confidence written the data
tags field is stored as
text and transformed back and fro as JSON
The code is here on github. The following steps should work:
$ virtualenv fastestdb $ source fastestdb/bin/activate $ git clone https://github.com/peterbe/fastestdb.git $ cd fastestdb $ pip install -r requirements.txt $ python tornado_app.py
Then fire up
http://localhost:8000/benchmark?how_many=10 and see if you can get it running.
Note: You might need to mess around with some of the hardcoded connection details in the file
Before the lynch mob of HackerNews kill me for saying something positive about MongoDB; I'm perfectly aware of the discussions about large datasets and the complexities of managing them. Any flametroll comments about "web scale" will be deleted.
I think MongoDB does a really good job here. It's faster than Redis and Memcache but unlike those key-value stores, with MongoDB you can, if you need to, do actual queries (e.g. select all talks where the duration is greater than 0.5). MongoDB does its serialization between python and the database using a binary wrapper called BSON but mind you, the Redis and Memcache drivers also go to use a binary JSON encoding/decoder.
The conclusion is; be aware what you want to do with your data and what and where performance versus durability matters.
Some of those drivers will work on PyPy which I'm looking forward to testing. It should work with cffi like psycopg2cffi for example for PostgreSQL.
Also, an asynchronous version of elasticsearch should be interesting.
Today I installed RethinkDB 2.0 and included it in the test.
It was added in this commit and improved in this one.
I've been talking to the core team at RethinkDB to try to fix this.

(First: Spoiler Warning: DC Comics Identity Crisis)
As best I can recall, the phrase "Yeah, but Ray loves everything" was originally coined by friends of mine in the summer of 2004. This was the summer of DC Comics' Identity Crisis and the Rape Heard 'Round the World. As comic fans know, in this comic, written by bestselling author Brad Meltzer, beloved wife of the Elongated Man Ralph Dibney was violated by Dr. Arther Light. She was later murdered, as was Tim Drake's father and numerous others. Mr. Meltzer also had the Justice League labotomize Dr. Light and mindwipe Light's punishment from the mind of Batman.
It was all controversial. The net was set afire – one of only a handful of times that this has happened. (With this being my first post, I feel obligated to let everyone know this is sarcasm.) I have a core group of friends who originally banded together over our love of comics, video games, and dirty jokes. At any given time, there are between six and ten of us. Back then, the numbers were closer to the latter, and every one of my buddies hated, hated, HATED what happened the book (or at least, what happened to Sue). I did not. I thought it was a very good mini-series (7 issues total).
It was very tragic and brutal, but it gave a real-world feel to the comics that followed.
That said, I do not want to start seeing rape portrayed all the time – in fact, I never have to again. What I liked about it was how it brought an intense focus on the individuals behind the masks.
My friends, though, didn't care . . . I swear, they're relentless.
From Identity Crisis, it was Toby McGuire's Spiderman. They didn't like this, either. But, yep, I did. "Yeah, but Ray likes everything."
The Matrix trilogy? Again, it rang out.
DC's Countdown to Final Crisis? Star Trek: Nemesis? Yep. Again and again.
And it went on and on for the past six years. It'll never change. It's my personality type. I'm a bona fide Story Whore. I generally like it all. Do I love it, no, but I can at least appreciate that this is what the character has gone through, is going through, or will go through.
It's the emotion, the action, and the subtle story beats. Mainly, it's the character.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. — Two Fairfield University students were arrested Friday after campus security found three teens smoking marijuana in a dorm room around 11 p.m., police said.
Henry Martin, 19, of Marblehead, Mass., and Stephen Millerick, 19, of Waltham, Mass., were each charged with possession of a controlled substance or more than a half-ounce of marijuana and use and possession of drug paraphernalia, police said.
Millerick was also charged with possession of narcotics because he was found with a small bag of cocaine, police said.
The third person received an infraction for having less than a half-ounce of marijuana, police said.
Martin and Millerick were each released on a promise to appear in court on Nov. 20, police said.
