Have you seen the new animated opening sequence for the PleaseDressMe show? Well here it is! It was recently posted on Vimeo by creator Jeff Peak. Apparently it was made as a gift to the PleaseDressMe guys – how cool is that. I saw at least one shirt that I own in that video, did you see any tees that you own? By the way, Episode 1 of PleaseDressMe TV was released a few weeks ago, when can we see Episode 2 or am I just looking in the wrong place?Â
This is an opening animation I built for the online show PleaseDressMeTV. PleaseDressMe is a search engine for t-shirts created by AJ and Gary Vaynerchuk. These guys are quite inspiring and for that I created this as a gift. – Jeff Peak

A Division of My Luxury Cruises
(416) 486-4646 | (800) -518-3435
A cruise is a terrific vacation choice for anyone who loves photography. The scenery changes with each new port of call, and there are lots of opportunities to capture candid shots of your friends and family on board. Shore excursions also provide unique photo opportunities – in fact, some excursions are designed with photography buffs in mind.
When calling on Juneau as part of an Alaskan cruise, you can take a photo safari with a guide who will share outdoor photography tips and techniques along the way. At Mendenhall Glacier, you can capture photos of the glacial landscape and the wildlife that calls it home. Then, a pontoon boat ride among the Channel Islands will take you close to Alaska's marine life and landscapes. Large windows provide unrestricted views, and the boat's pontoons provide a steady ride perfect for photography.
Some fall foliage cruises of New England and Canada that call on Halifax, Nova Scotia, feature an opportunity to take a photography tour with a professional nature photographer as a guide. You might capture scenes of life in a traditional fishing village; the foliage and wildflowers of an inland forest; the parks and gardens of Halifax; or the rugged Atlantic coastline.
There are plenty of opportunities to use your photography skills on cruises to warmer climates, too. Cruise ship passengers who visit Roatàn, an island off the coast of Honduras, can take a tour with an experienced local photographer. The island's rainforests, beaches and wildlife are all terrific photo subjects. You could also take an excursion that combines a photography tour on land with a scuba dive, where you can take underwater photos of colorful fish and coral.
Keep in mind that by working with a travel agent or cruise consultant, they may have knowledge of shore excursions well beyond what the cruise line itself offers. It's just one of the many additional advantages of working with a travel agent.

She said that since the dredging began, many children have dropped out of school to help their families, as it is so much harder to make a living from fishing. Some natives of Koh Srolao have been forced to leave the village and become laborers in Thailand or Phnom Penh.
Dr. Hogan, research biologist at the University of Nevada, Reno, host of National Geographic's Monster Fish show, and principle investigator of the Wonder of the Mekong Project funded by USAID, visited Cambodia to join the celebration of National Fish Day at the Fisheries Administration on July 1.

The red rubber bull-biting bald man by the name of Jim Cramer had a mouthful to say about the Motor City today — making clear his belief that if Motown gets showed D.C.'s checkbook, then we've seen the lows of this financial downturn. I tend to agree. Right now, according to Cramer, the issue isn't anymore whether you think GM deserves or doesn't deserve to be saved, it's whether you're alright with massive unemployment and an economic downturn taking this nation further into the murky unknown depths. Sounds to us like someone thinks people need to buy some "Save GM" t-shirts. That sentiment's shared by Keith Crain's Automotive News, where we saw an opinion piece today the likes we've never seen — essentially refuting an idea I'd held up until the past week, that Chapter 11 could allow for reorganization. The Op-Ed's entitled "The cost of GM's death," and you can hit the jump for the excerpts.
Let's be clear. The alternative to government cash for GM is not a dreamy Chapter 11 filing, a reorganization that puts dealers and the UAW in their place, ensuring future success. No, even if GM could get debtor-in-possession financing to keep the lights on (which it can't), Chapter 11 means a collapse of sales and a spiral into a Chapter 7 liquidation. GM's 100,000 American jobs will die. Health care for a million Americans will be lost or at risk. Hundreds of GM's 1,300 suppliers will die. Their collapse could take down Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC, perhaps even North American transplants. Dealers in every county of America will close.
But that's not all. Here comes the call to action:
The taxpayer needs protection and an upside. GM's top management may need to go. Government-as-shareholder deserves a big voice. Those details can be worked out. The Detroit 3 CEOs and UAW President Ron Gettelfinger had better tell two critical congressional hearings next week what sacrifices they are prepared to make. But the stark fact remains: Absent a bailout, GM dies, and with it much of manufacturing in America. Congress needs to do the right thing — now.
What? Buying a t-shirt won't help? [Automotive News, CNBC]

Chinita's Day! 2008
November 18th is a very important day in our state. Today there will be many activities all around the state and specially here in Maracaibo. People will remember and rejoice in Chinita's honor.
Reading on wikipedia, we can find her story:
An old lady made a living by washing other people's clothes, a job she did every morning at the shores of the lake. On November 18th 1709 she took a bulk of clothes, and as usual, went to the lake to start washing them. This old lady was at her chores when she saw a wooden board floating towards her. She picked it up thinking that it might be of some use. When she finished her work, she went home carrying the clothes, the board and a small vase with fresh water. She then placed the board on top of the vase. Then, she noticed a small figure in the board but couldn't tell what it was.She fell asleep, and when she áwoke up it was already late and dark. She decided to go to a local grocery store to buy some candles.
Since that day the street where she lived was renamed "El Milagro" which means Miracle in Spanish, and to this day it is one of the most important streets in the neighborhood of "El Saladillo" in the city of Maracaibo.
The people of Maracaibo celebrate the Festival of La Chinita in November with an all night party. One of the main city streets, Bella Vista, is closed for several blocks and the city puts lights along the whole street. The lights stay up for months, until after Christmas. There are stages set up, sponsored by the government and businesses around the city. There are firework shows and street vendors, and hundreds of thousands of people line the streets and celebrate all night.
"Our Lady of Rosario of Chiquinquirá." Wikipedia. Wikipedia, 2007. Answers.com 18 Nov. 2007. http://www.answers.com/topic/our-lady-of-rosario-of-chiquinquir
Also, one important part of the celebration is selecting a beauty queen for the fair. This year's winner was Leidys Orellano. accompany by her parents and sister. She was the representant of the B.O.D, an important Bank in our region.
Another big thing in the Feria is the bull fight (La Corrida de Toros)... I personally don't like it but a lot of people like going to the bullfight ring and yell "Ole". This is a tradition that comes from Spain and in my opinion it is horrible... I'm against torture and violence. But that's just me.
Now, what's your opinion about our fair? Did you enjoy our fair this year? Tell us what you did to enferiarte? Where did you go? how was it? What did you like the most? What you didn't like... if there's something you didn't like...
Looking forward to reading all the stories from this year celebration.
And Chinita....... Gloria a ti casta Señora! Happy Day!
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed working on this posting in honor to my chinita!

Greg Grunberg loved the opportunity of moonlighting for the newly picked-up NBC comedy "Love Bites," but the "Heroes" star was a little taken aback by the subject matter.
Especially when he found himself in a tiny airplane bathroom with Jennifer Love Hewitt.
"We joined the Mile High Club together," he tells PopcornBiz. "It is network television. I was just as shocked when I read the script. I was like, 'What? Really?"
"But then again, the description of the show is tales of sex and love."
Working with Jennifer Love Hewitt for the first time ("was a blast!), even if it meant he had to read her saucy book "The Day I Shot Cupid."
"It was research. I'm like, I'm going to be spending some time with her in the bathroom," he explains. "I'm reading it and going, 'Wow, I shouldn't be reading this.' There are really some moments of TMI."
Despite that, "Love Bites" -- a series of romcom sketches -- allows for people with other steady projects to step in. "I can still go in and do that even with a show. Jennifer Love Hewitt can still do it with 'Ghost Whisperers,' " says Grunberg.
"It went so well that they said if it goes to series we'd love to have you back. I said sure," he adds.
"People are going to laugh. It's very funny."

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- Latin America's growing potential as a homeland security and telecommunication market is to be explored as telecoms group WPP positions itself for market expansion in South America.
WPP this week announced its part acquisition of Globant, the digital marketing specialist that has headquarters in Buenos Aires.
Digitization and computerization including smart metering is on the rise across Central and South America, with the biggest growth reported in Brazil, Chile and Argentina. Mexico is seen taking the lead in Central America and the Caribbean from its vantage point in southern North America.
WPP said its acquisition of Globant will further strengthen its digital capabilities in the fast growth markets of Latin America and in the United States and beyond
WPP is taking a 20 percent stake in Globant S.A., generally rated as an emerging worldwide leader in providing both technical expertise and design and creative capabilities in the development of software product.
Globant says its software and related products can be applied to digital marketing campaigns on a global scale.
Gobant employs 2,700 engineers, marketing specialists and designers in 21 offices across 14 cities in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, the United States, Uruguay and the United Kingdom.
The company says its approach is "unique" as it provides clients with both the infrastructure and technical support that drive digital marketing campaigns, combined with the creative and design skills that usually found alone in digital agencies.
Globant's net earnings in 2011 totaled $90 million and revenues in the six months to June 30, 2012, topped $56.9 million.
WPP says it will invest about $70 million in acquiring the Globant stake.
WPP's acquisition of the Global stake is rooted in changing perspectives on how to make IT companies more profitable and their marketing campaigns better coordinated.
"Increasingly, clients want better coordination between their IT departments and their marketing departments, between their chief information officers and their chief marketing officers," WPP Chief Executive Officer Martin Sorrell said.
"There are many consulting companies or digital agencies that are expert in one function or the other. Few, if any, do both and even fewer can integrate deep technical and creative capabilities on a global scale as Globant does," Sorrell said.
The deal will allow the companies to increasingly provide clients with insights and skills that will make their digital marketing efforts even more effective and simpler to manage at both the front and back ends.
Globant says it has deep experience in working in state of the art digital marketing spaces including, but not limited to, mobile, gamification, social networks, cloud computing, big data and e-commerce.
Globant's clients include American Express, JP Morgan Chase & Co., LinkedIn, Electronic Arts, Google, Coca-Cola, National Geographic, Zynga and Sabre Holdings, as well as a number of WPP companies, such as JWT, Young & Rubicam, Grey, GroupM and Kantar.
Globant Chief Executive Officer and co-founder Martin Migoya said the company's "core competencies" in gamification, cloud computing, big data, social networks and mobile would enable it to deliver innovation to customers and add value to their efforts to reach end users through software products.
He said WPP support will help the company to achieve its goal of becoming one of the most innovative software development companies.
WPP, the world's largest communications services group, reported billings of $77.1 billion and revenues of $16.1 billion in 2011.

The Seat‐Warming Senate
With Gov. Deval Patrick's appointment of longtime Kennedy courtier Paul Kirk to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's seat in the U.S. Senate, there are now at least three close aides holding on to Senate seats while their states go through the formality of an election. The governor of Delaware appointed Joe Biden's longtime friend and former chief of staff to fill the rest of his term in the Senate. Can you name him? It is generally thought that he is obligingly holding on to the seat until Biden's son Beau gets back from National Guard service and is able to run to succeed his father. And in Florida, Gov. Charlie Crist named his former chief of staff to fill the seat of retiring Sen. Mel Martinez until the 2010 election in which Crist is running for the seat. There are more seat-fillers in the Senate than at the Oscars.
Of course, Kennedy himself took his seat when he attained the age of 30, after it was kept warm for him by family retainer Benjamin A. Smith III.
Meanwhile, as of 2005 there were 18 senators who gained office at least partly through their family ties -- sons, daughters, wives, nephews of former senators, governors, presidents, and so on.
The Founders envisioned the Senate as an assembly of wise and accomplished men, chosen for their experience and judiciousness. Political campaigns that favor the handsome, the glib, the panderers, and the best fundraisers are bad enough. But a Senate full of legacies and seat-warmers is especially unfortunate.

MonoKote is a Patented, Flexible High-Gloss Polyester Film that is Inexpensive, Easy, Clean, and When Compared to old fashioned Coverings, Quick To Use. For great covering ideas and to insure a professional finish, order the MonoKote Covering Instructional DVD, TOPZ0105. COMMENTS: Paints, Trim Sheets, EconoKote and Different Lots of MonoKote May Vary Slightly In Color Between Production Runs of These Products. If Using Three or More Rolls of the Same Color, it is Suggested to Use a 25' Roll (TOPQ1521) To Ensure the Same Dye Lot for the Entire Model Being Covered. LustreKote Primer Must Be Used With LustreKote Paint to Bring Out Its True Color. MonoKote (Gloss): TOPQ0211 MonoKote is a High Temperature Covering, NOT For Use Directly On Foam EconoKote IS For Use Directly On Foam, Use the Following: EconoKote Covering: TOPQ2601-TOPQ2612 (EconoKote may be used on top of, but not under MonoKote.) **Temperature Ranges: Flat MonoKote Uses a Higher Temperature to Apply. Attaching to Wood: 240 - 275¦F (activating the glue) Partial Shrinkage: 230 - 270¦F Maximum Shrinkage: 270 - 350¦F ir/jl TECH NOTE: The characteristics of the flat MonoKote differ slightly from standard MonoKote covering: Flat MonoKote requires higher temperatures to apply than standard MonoKote because of the flat finish. In addition to the higher temp settings, this covering may require the iron to be in contact with the covering and wood slightly longer than the standard finish. If this covering is applied too loosely, it may be difficult to get a tight shrink with this product. Also, when applied loosely, it could become impossible to remove any wrinkles that may appear. updated 4/30/03 ldt

The prospect of unified communications has been slow to fulfill its promise, but a recent study released by CDW Corp. indicates that the dream lives on.
CDW-G's 2009 Unified Communications Tracking Poll found that more than half of government and private-sector organizations have either begun implementing a unified communications program or are planning to do so.
CDW's survey of 766 IT professionals – evenly split among federal, state and local governments, private businesses, higher education, and health care – revealed that 41 percent of organizations are currently assessing unified communications, 33 percent are planning for implementation, 20 percent have already begun implementing and 6 percent have fully deployed a unified communications system.
The numbers are similar when restricted to federal agencies and departments, with 40 percent assessing, 30 percent planning, 24 percent implementing and 6 percent already having deployed a unified communications system.
The primary drivers for adopting unified communications appear to be increased productivity and reducing operating costs.
Interestingly, respondents report that once implementation had begun the organizations concerns about costs and network security was significantly reduced.
The report can be downloaded here.

When the stars are favorable, he will lash out against all living beings with terrible wrath. You must find him before then and find a way to bring his existence to an end.
Do this and bring me a piece of his husk. I shall grant you armor no mortal has ever worn... armor fit for one who has slain a god!
Rewards Edit
Progress Edit
At his dwelling in Ahn'Qiraj, dread C'Thun awaits in slumber.
Completion Edit
I did not expect you to return from your attempt, <name>.
You've fulfilled a destiny greater than that of most immortal beings.
By slaying C'Thun you've not only saved all of Azeroth, you've also tipped the scales of cosmic events beyond your comprehension.
Accept this breastplate as a symbol of the glory and burden that will come as a consequence of your actions.
May its power aid you in the challenges that await you, god-slayer!
Notes Edit
This is a Paladin-only quest.

Jenny and Johnny are a composite hybrid of Jenny Lewis (who for now, appears to have largely forgotten about Rilo Kiley in place of an increasingly long line of side projects) and singer-songwriter Jonathan Rice, who has graduated a unique and unconventional path from being Lewis's backing guitarist, to her lover, to collaborator. Which was certainly news to me; not least because my initial thoughts pertaining to the doe-eyed snapshots of them on the album cover was that they appeared awkward, fake and unconvincing. Relationships: what do I know?
Their first album together certainly has an appropriate title. Fundamentally, it is the sound of two contented people enjoying themselves, having a laugh and simply knocking a few songs about with an aroma of carefree bonhomie. Thankfully for the most part, this resolves into something endearing and welcomingly fresh rather than the potentially overwhelming pretension that it could easily find itself attached to. Deep down, they're both too rooted in Americana's folksy simplicity to get too carried away. In their case, experimentation means that less-is-more: light, pretty melodies and songs that sound like they've been left to mature in oak casks, underpinned by a mosquito bite of sobering cynicism.
I'm Having Fun Now doesn't really seek to make any over statement of thematic or creative intent, often appearing to deliberately seek out the less adventurous path through the music. Refreshingly devoid of self indulgence, it is perfectly happy to let the songs come and go as they please. The only drawback to this reliance on playfulness rather than purposefulness is that whereas songs such as 'Scissor Runner' and 'My Pet Snakes' provide a strikingly direct and focused kick-start to the proceedings (complimented by the achingly gorgeous 'Switchblade'), the album does run into a patch of 'what have we got left in the box?' doldrums during the mid-to-latter part of its course, specifically during the irksomely titled 'New York Cartoon' and the dull, inconsequential 'Slavedriver'; ideas that probably sounded better in their heads than they do on tape. The majority of the time however, the mix of disparate musical elements combust slowly, warmly and effectively; woven through a pleasingly sparse framework of lo-fi surf rock guitar and uncluttered drum groves that allow the songs to speak and the melodies to sparkle.
Overall, the most surprising aspect of the record is how, despite her more prominent profile and her ever-sultry LA-calibre flirting, the record doesn't really seem to belong to Lewis. Though she still sings delightfully in that purring, peeking-through-the-bedclothes voice, partway between daytime radio and traditional country standard, she generally remains in the shadow of Rice's cynical, expansive drawls that seem somehow to propel the record that bit higher every time he offers his interjections. Throughout it all, he seems to be the one in overall control, hands on the steering wheel. Nowhere is this more apparent than on the standout closing track 'Committed', a gearshift slide into breakneck rock and roll tomfoolery, complete with the quite splendid lyric "For God and for Country / For Michael Jackson's Monkey". There's an underlying temptation to wish for the whole of the album to contain the same wide-eyed drive and focus, but in being a simple and enticing collection of musical flavours and tastes from two people who seem to be having the time of their lives it makes for a fine listen and a rewarding experience. They're pretty, they're young, they're talented and they make some simple, delightful music, who's complaining? As side projects go, this is one of those that will happily turn left rather than right when climbing onboard that transatlantic flight to you.

I have one more lesson to upload after this one. Here is another anime figure to add to my drawing tutorial page on "how to draw Soubi", step by step. Soubi is from the manga 'Loveless' and is one of the main figures. He has a very sophisticated appearance as he has a long straight hairstyle and wears thin framed eye glasses. He is usually seen wearing turtle neck shirts to go with his unique style. Soubi is in his twenties. He used to go to Schichisei Gakuen also known as Seven Moons Academy which is a school for fighters. He is a character from Loveless that has been requested by a few people so I'm guessing that there is something cool about him or he wouldn't be so popular. I can also count on my Dragoart members when it comes to learning about new characters from various shows, movies, and games. If it wasn't for you all I would have no idea who half the people are whether they're real or animated. I do think that this lesson is going to be easy so be sure to let me know if you where successful with drawing Soubi. Adios mi amigos and enjoy!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!


text: Carla Van de Puttelaar has focused on women throughout her career. She photographs women's faces, isolated body parts, and entire bodies—often shown nude, sometimes partially clothed in lingerie. When not capturing the female figure, she shoots flowers, which may be read as stand-ins for her human subjects. Van de Puttelaar's models are often porcelain skinned, and she sets them against black backgrounds to heighten the translucency of their skin and the delicacy of their bodies. Rather than masking bodily idiosyncrasies, Van de Puttelaar embraces quirks by capturing every mole, bruise, crease, and imprint on the skin. "The female body is my source of inspiration," she once explained. "I have my own tale to tell, which is different from [the] nude images the media want to show. . . . The differences in women's bodies . . . show their individuality and their many different forms of beauty."

Africa Wins One
This is one instance where African leaders buried their petty differences and acted like statesmen, for the well-being of the African continent.
[Africa: Editorial]
The United States' plans to create AFRICOM, a so-called U.S. Africa command, collapsed in ruin today with the announcement that the Americans will maintain the base in Germany.
It's a resounding victory for Africa, thanks primarily to South Africa's Thabo Mbeki. He was vociferous in denouncing Washington's plans. He had also urged other African leaders to reject American military designs on Africa.
After a visit to the White House in November, Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua also announced that he wouldn't let the U.S. set up base in his country and also opposed opposition to having it in any West African country. That's why Bush, now touring Benin, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana and Liberia, crossed out Nigeria from his itinerary.
African countries might have been dragged into America's own foreign wars, leaders like Mbeki had argued. Moreover, the U.S. would've been in position to increase meddling in the affairs of African countries.
African leaders also argued that the U.S. plan was actually spurred by Washington's alarm at the growing influence of China. Thousands of Chinese companies now operate in Africa, and trade and investment have increased several fold between China and African countries.
The U.S., fearful it can't compete when it comes to inking deals, wanted to use military might to discourage China from cornering the market for fuel and minerals in Africa.
Sadly, Liberia was the only African country that defied the call to reject American militarism, and announced preparedness to host the U.S. base. Liberia, has been devastated by years of war. It's desperate and its leaders believe the country has to ingratiate itself to the United States in order to receive economic assistance and sustenance.
Ironically, it's precisely over-dependence on the United States, and its machinations that had partially been the cause of Liberia's nightmare.
Currently, Ethiopia and Uganda are the U.S.'s primarily client states in Africa; Uganda and Ethiopia are fighting a proxy war in Somalia on behalf of the United States, committing crimes against humanity in the process. Yet, even these two U.S. puppet states could not have survived the public relations disaster, had they stationed the U.S. command.
This time Africa stood together as one and the continent won. This is one instance where African leaders buried their petty differences and acted like statesmen, for the well-being of the African continent.

- 3. Defending Old Glory - AZ Sen. John Kavanagh Wants Stealing Flag To Be a Felony
Arizona Republican Senator John Kavanagh (LD23) will be introducing a bill during the upcoming Legislative Session that will make stealing the American flag a Class 6 felony. In the following Fox News interview, Sen. Kavanagh explains that currently, stealing the flag is only a misdemeanor theft, akin to stealing a pack of gum from a convenience store. When someone steals a flag from someone's yard, they aren't just stealing something that doesn't belong to them. Not only is the flag a venerated object, but also, when someone displays the American flag, they are exercising their Constitutionally-guaranteed First Amendment freedom of expression. They might be displaying the flag to express patriotism, mourning someone's death, or as a protest. This is an important right.Click here to read more

- 5. Stop the National Popular Vote Compact in Arizona
"Democracy" has a nice ring to it: One Person, One Vote. However, that's exactly what the Founders did not want: Majority (aka Mob) Rule. When Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, "A Republic, if you can keep it." Ours is a Constitutional Republic, but only if we, the people, care enough to participate in keeping it.
Our presidents are chosen through a combination of a popular vote and the Electoral College that represents the states. Each state's entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its Congressional delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for Senators. This keeps a handful of the most populous states from dominating all the other states. For example, Donald Trump won the popular vote in Arizona. Thus, the Republican party's 11 Electors will vote for president. Had Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, Arizona's 11 Democrat Electors would be voting for president. (In contrast, California has 55 Electors.) See below for two short videos: Do you Understand the Electoral College? and The Popular Vote vs the Electoral College.
Unfortunately, there is a movement across America that is gaining traction called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It would distort the procedures of the Electoral College. It would usher in the very "democracy" that the Founders did not want. It is unconstitutional.Click here to read more
- 6. Pearl Harbor plus 75 Years
On the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, an attack planned by Isoroku Yamamoto, Japanese Marshal Admiral and commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet during World War II, was carried out to demobilize the US Navy. See Pearl Harbor plus 75 Years.
You probably have family members in their 80s and older who remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they got the news: "We've just been attacked!" Some memories fade quickly. But not this one.
My mother remembers. She and my father had been married for less than a year. He was a sergeant in the Army Air Corp stationed at Chanute Field in Rantoul, Illinois. "It was a Sunday," she told me. They were visiting his parents on their farm in down state Illinois that day. My father and grand-father were driving around the countryside looking at the land, which is what farmers often did and probably still do, after church on a Sunday. They heard the news on the car radio. "It was a '40 Ford," Mom said. They returned immediately to tell my mother and grand-mother. "It was a total shock," remembers my mother. "It was scary." She and my dad returned quickly to their home. "From that moment on, he had to be in uniform until the end of the war."
The next spring, he shipped out to Seymour Johnson Air Field in North Carolina. Mom remembers that the base had been quickly constructed, using trees from the forest where the base was located. It was still being constructed when they arrived. She recalls that it was a training base for mechanics and pilots. My mother remembers that, throughout the war, she rarely saw pictures or got much word of what was happening. "We didn't have television." Mostly, she saw newsreels in the local theater. My father was eventually sent to India. "It took thirty days for him to get there. The ship had to zigzag across the ocean, to stay clear of submarines. He didn't know where he was going until he got there."
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese killed 2402 Americans, destroyed 188 planes and damaged 159. They sunk 4 battleships and damaged another 4. "The Pearl Harbor attack spurred America into World War II, leading ultimately to Allied victory over the Japanese in the East and Nazis and other Axis powers in the West. And the country promised never to forget this day of infamy." See Unforgettable photos from the Pearl Harbor Attack, 72 years ago today.
One of the battleships that was sunk was the USS Arizona. See photos below.Click here to read more

- 9. Outing Ray Strauss, the Phony Conservative Running Against Rep. Paul Gosar in AZ-4
Did you receive the FALSE flyer paid for by Right Way Super-PAC stating that Paul Gosar (CD4) voted against funding for our military and their families? I suggest you read this article titled Outing Ray Strauss, the Phony Conservative Running Against Rep. Paul Gosar in AZ-4. In my own experience, Rep. Gosar is one of the most Conservative, Constitutional, pro-military representatives in Congress. Ray Strauss is the opposite. "Rep. Gosar's reputation as a fighter for the conservative agenda has left him as one of the few reliable full spectrum conservatives in the House."
The article begins:
It requires a breathtaking level of deceit to attempt to run to the right of limited government constitutional conservative Congressman Paul Gosar and attack him as an "insider."
But with the help of a shadowy lobbyist-funded PAC – Right Way PAC – which was founded by K Street insider Daniel Flynn, that is exactly what Gosar's challenger Ray Strauss is trying to do.

- 10. McCain-Assisting PAC Misleads Voters about Conservative Opponent Kelli Ward
by Patrick O'Malley and Anita Christy
The Arizona Grassroots Action PAC has been running a negative ad about Kelli Ward for weeks on radio stations and FaceBook. The ad claims she failed to support our military with the funding needed to pay the troops. It also claims she sponsored a bill to prevent law enforcement in Arizona from cooperating with the feds to prevent terrorism.
Both claims are false.
Every year, Congress passes a National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to fund the military. A serious criticism of the 2013 NDAA was that it continued to include a provision that allows the military to detain individuals, including US citizens, indefinitely and without trial, as part of the war on terror.
Kelli Ward was a State Senator and couldn't vote on the NDAA, but she was asked about the bill and specifically about the indefinite detention of individuals issue on a talk radio show. The show is Love, Guns, and Freedom with Luca Zanna, and the discussion about the NDAA with Kelli Ward is part of the December 1, 2013 show. That's where the quote "I don't support the bill" comes from. It was in response to a direct question about the indefinite detention provision.
In 2014, many brave conservatives joined Ted Cruz in opposing this tyranny for the same reason given by Kelli Ward. See Ted Cruz: Indefinite Detention Retained in NDAA 2014.
The second issue concerns Arizona SB1156 in 2014. Dr. Ward was the prime sponsor, along with 13 co-sponsors. The Grassroots Action PAC claims the bill would restrict Arizona law enforcement from cooperating with the feds to fight terrorism. Do you remember back when we found out the NSA was monitoring our phone calls? That it wasn't just suspected terrorists' international calls like we'd been told? It was everybody's calls all the time? And people were wondering what had happened to their Fourth Amendment protections from search and seizure? SB1156 stated that the NSA and other federal agencies that wanted cooperation from local law enforcement in their investigations and wanted to collect information in Arizona had to get a warrant. No cooperation without a warrant.
The AZ Grassroots Action PAC was organized in 2014 supposedly to support or oppose multiple federal candidates and is classified as an independent expenditure committee.
Not quite. According to an article in Politico titled McCain's big purge:Click here to read more

NH panel considers changes to insurance laws to line up with federal overhaul
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � A New Hampshire House committee is hearing from Insurance Department officials on law changes needed as a result of the federal health care overhaul.
The Commerce and Consumer Affairs Committee is holding a hearing Thursday on a bill to change statutes affecting health insurance companies that offer individual and group medical plans.
Proposed changes include new rules against refusing to insure people with pre-existing conditions.
Other proposed changes address when polices are allowed to remain unchanged � or grandfathered � and tobacco use can be included in rates.

When Lilibeth Valenzuela Salas, 28, gave birth to her firstborn child, she elected to avoid the hospital.
A nontraditional setting just felt right. After all, back in Mexico, Salas' grandmother gave birth to four children in a home without electricity or running water. So, it was Simona Istrate, a certified nurse midwife, that delivered Salas' infant at Natural Birth Center & Women's Wellness east of Los Angeles in suburban Whittier.
"In a hospital, I would've just been in one room attached to some beaming lights, not being able to walk around, not knowing the staff who would attend my birth," said Salas, 28, of El Monte. "Everybody (there), I picked them to be there, and they knew me by my first name as well as my husband's. In the hospital environment, I knew that would not have happened."
Home births and birthing centers — a hybrid between health clinic and cozy hotel — are a growing trend in the greater Los Angeles area, especially among the more affluent and better educated, said Dr. Joseph Ouzounian, an associate professor at the Keck School of Medicine of USC.
People who live in parts of Pasadena, South Pasadena, La Canada Flintridge and the suburban, more wealthy patches of the Los Angeles area are the early adopters of this trend, Ouzounian said.
And now regular folks such as the Salases have caught the wave.
Callie Clark, a midwife at the Del Mar Birth Center in South Pasadena, said hospitals are built to manage big-risk problems. "Some practitioners treat women as though they're a disaster ready to happen instead of treating them as though they're going to have a natural birth and then treating them if there is a need for medical intervention," said Clark, 34.
Yet Ouzounian, chief of the maternal-fetal medicine division at the Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, said having a baby at a hospital is usually safer, especially for high-risk obstetrics. If a woman is in her late 30s, has a poor medical history or has high blood pressure, she should opt for a hospital birth, he said.
Salas said she wanted a peaceful delivery at a birthing center. A water delivery inside a large, heat-controlled tub was exactly what she had on Dec. 29.
Once Salas was 8-centimeters dilated, Istrate told her to get into a spacious tub lit with blue lights. Salas, who had her hair in a loose bun, submerged herself. She was naked aside from a patterned black, strapless bra.
Salas began pushing. A head full of black hair started to crown. Istrate checked Nicholas Alexander Salas' vitals after every contraction and then, as he came out, Istrate adeptly unwound his umbilical cord, which had been wrapped about baby Nicholas' neck twice.
Neither Istrate nor the Salases knew this would happen because Lilibeth Salas chose to stop getting ultrasounds once she started her midwifery care.
Husband Luis Daniel Salas, 28, said he witnessed his four sisters deliver their babies, and all of them had C-sections.
"They were all pretty dazed after birth," he said. "They were extremely tired. They couldn't talk much. … In Lilibeth's case, she was very alert. We were reminiscing over the whole process even though it had just happened a couple of minutes before."
The Salases said they will go to a birthing center for their next child. Their positive stories about their experience have convinced many of their friends to consider natural birth through a midwife, Luis Salas said.
Stories such as theirs have boosted the birthing center industry in the greater Los Angeles area. Due to popular demand, Istrate opened a West Los Angeles office in August. Then in mid-October, Del Mar Birth Center in South Pasadena opened.
A Yelp search found fewer birthing centers outside of the greater Los Angeles area. There is Ancient Paths Midwifery in Chino and Beach Cities Midwifery & Women's Health Care in Long Beach.
Jessica Paruch, 35, said she would rather have her baby at the Del Mar Birth Center because she said it was beautiful and it's nicer than her home. There are a smattering of midwives who provide home birth services, Yelp showed.
Some women want the security of physically being in a hospital, yet they desire to go the more natural, old-fashioned route. Certain hospitals have midwifery programs, and certified nurse midwives assist surgeons in child labor if C-sections are necessary.
The Salases said the birthing center experience is not, however, without its downsides.
Like many other women who chose to have their babies at birthing centers or at home, the Salases said they had to dip into their savings because they said their insurance company didn't cover out-of-hospital midwifery care.
"Going through the insurance process was a living nightmare," Lilibeth Salas said. "I wish the company would change those regulations on our insurance policy. And it's very sad because I want every woman to have this experience versus a hospital birth because you're in complete control."

Jaguar Land Rover employees at the company's Halewood Operations celebrated an important milestone following the production of the 300,000th Land Rover Freelander 2, known as LR2 in the US market.
Production of the LR2 at Halewood commenced in October 2006 and earlier this week the plant's 300,000th model was driven off the line.
The vehicle was a 2.2-liter diesel in Barolo Black destined for a customer in Brazil - one of its fastest growing markets. Land Rover is the leading SUV brand in the country with a 40% market share. Freelander was also Land Rover's biggest selling model last year, retailing around 52000 units globally.

Bake the Book: Good Morning Sunshine Bars
Get the Recipe
Every now and then there's a dessert so simple, yet so powerful, you eat the whole tray by yourself in the middle of the night. But seriously, the Good Morning Sunshine Bars fromBaked Elements: Our 10 Favorite Ingredients are an unpretentious treat that uses the holy trifecta of peanuts, chocolate, and caramel to evoke childhood and happy memories in every bite.
Tips: Any confection process involving caramel is going to be messy. Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to mix, and a silicone spatula will get every drop out and into the pan. Be careful not to over boil the caramel mixture; one minute is a good minute.
Tweaks: The bars are simple and smart enough to not need improvement. But you can play around with the type of chocolate drizzled on top—something a little darker than the recommended milk chocolate would be good.

As always with our Bake the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of 'Baked Elements' to give away.

The Air Jordan 6 Chameleon consists as a brand new colorway of the iconic basketball sneaker, which is scheduled to make its debut during NBA All-Star Weekend in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Sporting a stealthy black leather upper which reveals an iridescent finish that shifts in colors depending on certain lighting conditions, it's suggested that this shimmering element is achieved when rubbed off, which was a prominent feature that was first found on the Air Jordan 12 Wings.
Additional design details include a Jumpman badge embroidery on the heels, 3M reflective accents, more iridescent accents on the lace tips and the clear translucent outsole also inheriting the iridescent detailing for a truly eye-catching finish.

Author's Take:
Renz Ofiaza, News: I like the iridescent finish. This blacked-out profile is always a crowd favorite and versatile. Even though it's simple, this should garner a lot of attention.

This week, in honor of #charitytuesday, we have chosen to feature Water is Life. I wrote a brief summary of their work in our Water Charities List, but we felt like this was such a unique cause that they deserved a bigger spotlight.
Water is Life has developed a filtration technology that filters dirty water through a straw in three stages. When the straw is immersed in water (like a normal drinking straw), it filters particles, membranes and molecules in the first chamber. Then as the water is sipped through the remaining chambers, an iodine filtration system eliminates disease, and charcoal grates remove any bad tastes to provide fresh, clean, safe water. The system filters particles down to 15 microns in size.
The Water is Life straw has proven to be effective against waterborne diseases such as typhoid, cholera, dysentery, guinea worm and diarrhea, and each straw filters water for one person for up to an entire year.
However, the straws are just a short-term solution to those that need immediate assistance. 6,500 people – 5,000 of whom are children – die daily due to the lack of access to clean water. Water is Life distributes the straws as a temporary fix, while they work to develop long-term sustainable solutions like water wells, sand filters and other technology, combined with hygiene and sanitation assistance in each village.
If you would like to donate to Water is Life, you may do so directly on the website. Each straw costs $10. Volunteers may also get involved by hosting a fundraising event, or by joining a Water is Life team and traveling to distribute straws in Kenya, Ghana, Haiti and other countries.
Stay tuned to learn more about a special charity project that Filters Fast will be hosting in the coming months. In the meantime, promote the Water is Life cause to your friends by sharing this post on Facebook and Twitter!

Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome! We look forward to having you at the 2013 CARMA summer school. Please post your itinerary on the Wiki soon in the Itineraries & Shared Rides section. Doing so serves as confirmation for us to know you will be attending summer school and that you have secured both air and land transportation to the school.
Below are frequently asked questions and answers:
Q1: Are there any detailed maps of how to get to the CARMA site from local airports, or from the CARMA site to OVRO (location of the dorms and cottage)?
A1: Directions/Maps to CARMA are on the Wiki under "Air and Land Directions to CARMA." Click on "Detailed driving directions." Select the directions needed. Also included is information on markets, gas stations, how to avoid getting a speeding ticket, photos of road signs, and other useful items posted by Marc Pound, school staff member.
Q2: Is dinner provided on Sunday, July 28th?
A2: Spaghetti makings will be provided for all to enjoy (with you as the cook) Sunday evening at the CARMA control building. Other options are for you to bring food for Sunday night dinner, or make arrangements to find a place to eat. There are a few restaurants in Big Pine (the nearest town), and many more in Bishop (20 miles to the north).
Q3: I am camping. Where do I go to check in and get directions to the campgrounds?
A3: Upon arrival to the CARMA site, please check in at the CARMA control building for directions to the campgrounds. Also, email Mary if you will be arriving to CARMA before July 28 or departing after August 3 so we know if we need to request accommodations for additional days.
Q4: I do not have land transportation yet. What are my options?
A4: Every student is responsible for providing his/her own air and land transportation. Option 1: Reserve a rental car. If you are renting a car and have space for additional passengers, please post how many passengers you would be willing to take so students can contact you. Option 2: Post your itinerary to the Wiki along with the request that you need a ride. We encourage students to share rides/carpool when possible.
Q5: What happens if I miss my shared car ride due to a flight delay?
A5: Emergency Back-up Transportation Plan: In the event that your flight is delayed and you miss your ride or something else happens to delay your arrival, please call the CARMA control building at (760) 938-2075 ext 181 to notify us of what has happened. Then, you will need to rent a car at the airport and drive to the CARMA site.
Q6: Where do I go for meals?
A6: If you are staying in an OVRO dorm room (in the valley), than you may have breakfast in the OVRO kitchen or choose to head up to the Control Building. If you choose this option, you will need to plan for a 25 minute drive to the Control Building for an 8 am class Monday morning. (Classes will begin at 9 am thereafter.) If you are camping, you will want to have breakfast in the Control Building, where classes are held. Breakfast takes place between 7 and 8 am each day. Lunch and dinner will always take place in the control building.
Q7: Where should I go on the first day of class, July 29th?
A7: To the CARMA control building.
Q8: What time should I show up on the first day of class?
A8: 8 am. Again, classes will resume at 9 am from Tuesday on.
Q9: How do I pay for my accommodations and how do I know how much to pay?
A9: Mary will be sending an email communicating information about your lodging fees. It's estimated that the fee will be $40/day. Unless you are from an institution that is a CARMA affiliate (in which case your institution will be invoiced), you will need to bring exact payment in the form of cash or check with you to summer school. Fees will be collected once there. Note: Credit cards will not be accepted.
If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact Mary at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Travel Arrangements
Air and Land Directions to CARMA
For travel by air there are a number of options - Las Vegas; Los Angeles Area: LAX, Burbank, Ontario; Reno; Inyokern, and Mammoth Lakes. Most of these require a 4 to 5 hour drive to get to CARMA from the airport. The exceptions are Inyokern (airport code IYK) and Mammoth Lakes (airport code MMH) which are small regional airports near the Owens Valley. Only United flies to IYK (via LAX) and there are 2 flights a day. From IYK, it is about a 2 hour drive to CARMA (rental cars from Avis and Dollar available). Mammoth Lakes Airport is one hour north of OVRO and also has a few flights per day from LAX on HorizonAir and United, with Enterprise and Hertz rental cars available. See here for details.
Detailed driving directions to OVRO and CARMA from Los Angeles, Reno, and Las Vegas are here.
Maps: Google CarmaMap (a collaborative map maintained by some of us). Green placemarks are the CARMA buildings, yellow is the Noren Campground, blue are antenna stations.
What To Bring If You Are Camping
Since all meals will be at the control building, the only essential camping equipment is a sleeping bag and a mat. The sleeping bag need not be very warm, since nighttime temperatures will be above freezing. Students who prefer to have a tent to themselves should plan on bringing a tent. Tents will be provided for those who don't mind sharing. We'll do a poll for who needs what, once the accommodation choices are settled.
The campground reserved for the School is Noren Campground; its entrance is about 1 mile west of the entrance to the CARMA site on the opposite side of the road from CARMA, at the sign that says Cedar Flat Group Camp. Follow signs to Noren.
When you arrive, check in at the CARMA Control Building to let the observers know you have arrived, to pick up any gear you have reserved and to get directions to the campsite.
Other Things You May Want To Bring
Flashlight, bug spray, plastic coffee mug, sunglasses, windbreaker, hat with brim (for sun), sweater, rainjacket, water bottle, binoculars for star gazing/ birdwatching, camera, and good walking shoes.
The Hike
Our traditional post-summerschool hike is to Second Lake, in the Sierras above Big Pine. We plan to start from the Glacier Lodge trailhead at 9 am on Saturday (August 3). We should reach the lake about noon and get back to the cars by about 3:30 pm -- making it possible to return to Pasadena, Berkeley, or Las Vegas late that night. The hike is about 10 miles round trip with 2500 feet of elevation gain. The past 2 years some of us have pushed on farther, toward the Palisade Glacier; both times we reached Sam Mack Meadow but soon were turned back by thundershowers.
Use this wiki table to help us plan accomodation and meals, and to coordinate shared rides. Give your
name, your flight details, how many you can accomodate,
and special notes such as whether you will be toting camping gear. For help on
editting wiki tables, see this page
Gender will be used to match up shared dorm/tent accomodations. Also please let us know any dietary restrictions since CARMA is providing most of your meals

You are strongly encouraged to bring your own laptop since only a limited number of desktops will be available for student use. Wireless access will be available, as will wired ethernet.
Miriad is the data reduction and analysis environment for CARMA. You should install it before arriving at the school. It can be installed on Linux and Mac. A new release, dubbed school13 is available. See the Miriad wiki page for details on obtaining and installing this; if you have questions contact Peter Teuben (firstname.lastname@example.com), who is more than happy to help. Once installed, there are small sanity tests you should run to verify it is all working.
Note: we will not be devoting any time during the school to MIRIAD installation issues, as we must concentrate on interferometry. Please make every effort to get it installed before you arrive. If you cannot get MIRIAD installed on your machine, you can log in to the available desktops from your laptop to reduce data. During the school Peter is available on gchat (user: teuben) to assist with MIRIAD problems.
Electricity will be supplied at 120V, 60 Hz, using outlets accepting "American-style" parallel flat-pronged plugs.
Network Info, Logging in, Directories etc.
CARMA has two networks, public and private:
- public - accessible to outside world (mmarray.org == ovro.caltech.edu), located primarily in the valley at OVRO
- private – not accessible outside OVRO (carma.pvt), located entirely at Cedar Flat
- There is a 54 Mbps microwave link between Cedar Flat and OVRO
The wireless ESSID at Cedar Flat is GUEST. Note this ESSID is not broadcast.
You should never need to log in to any of the valley computers from the high site. Direct ssh/scp to your home machine is possible from the GUEST network.
From the GUEST network, there are two printers available:
clrcarma.mmarray.org -- color printer bwcarma.mmarray.org -- black and white printer
Instructions for adding these printers to your Mac are here.
Logging in
The main account for observers is obs. Any work you will not be doing on your own laptop, e.g.data reduction,should be done on s3.carma.pvt:
ssh -Y firstname.lastname@example.com
The password is the obs password on the white board.
Scratch Disk Space
Summer School disk space is /opt/summerschoolscratch mounted on the computer s3.carma.pvt. You may create your own subdirectory for reducing data or whatever.
cd /opt/summerschoolscratch
mkdir yourname
Copy your data from the system area to your own area:
cp -pr /opt/sdp/sciencedata/yourproject.yourobsblock.mir yourname
cd yourname
Note: files in /opt/summerschoolscratch will be deleted after 90 days.
Copying data to your laptop
Many of you will be reducing data on your own laptop MIRIAD installation. When your observing is done, you can secure copy your data directly from sdp.carma.pvt:
scp -pr email@example.com:/opt/sdp/sciencedata/yourproject.yourobsblock.mir .
(note that final period is required!)
Planning Your Observing Project
Most students arrive with an idea of something they would like to observe while at the School. On the first day of school, we will discuss these ideas as a group and decide which have the most chance of success. We will encourage students to form small groups to plan, execute, reduce, analyze, and present their observations. We realize some of you may be completely new to interferometry and not have a specific idea about what to observe. That's ok, you can join someone else's group or the instructors can select a good target for you.
About the Instrument
The CARMA telescope is designed as an aperture synthesis telescope, typically operating as two independent subarrays of 15 and 8 antennas, respectively. In the "Science 1" subarray, there are two receiver bands, 3 mm and 1 mm, and the spectral line correlator described here. A basic aperture synthesis observation makes an image the size of the primary beam (λ/D ~1 arcmin at 100 GHz; 0.5 arcmin at 230 GHz) with a resolution corresponding to the maximum separations of the antennas. During the Summer School, CARMA will be in the compact E configuration, with an angular resolution ~10 arcsec at 100 GHz, and ~4 arcsec at 230 GHz. The "Science 2" subarray of eight 3.5m antennas will be available for continuum-only projects at 30 GHz (primary beam ~ 11 arcmin; resolution ~2 arcmin) and 90 GHz (primary beam ~3.6 arcmin; resolution ~40 arcsec). The Sci2 correlator produces 7 GHz of continuum data.
Guidelines for your Project
Your observing project should be achievable in a 3-4 hours time. Detection experiments are discouraged since we want you to get some actual data to play with. Availability of the 1 mm system will depend strongly on weather, so we cannot guarantee 1 mm projects will be scheduled.
Project ideas will be discussed on the first day of the school with the first observation intended for that night. You should be ready with some basic information about your selected target:
- What kind of source is it? (galaxy, protostar, planet, etc)
- What is it's right ascension and declination?
- What frequency do you want to observe at?
- Which subarray are you using?
- Are you doing spectral line or continuum or both?
- How bright is your source (Jy or K)?
- What is the angular size of your source?
- If spectral line, what is it's LSR velocity?
- If spectral line, what is the expected line width?
In order for the observing schedule to accomodate for all selected projects and to allow for make-up time in case of poor weather or unforseened circumstances, it is likely that some students will be grouped on observing projects.
Once the projects have been decided, each group must insert the project information via the Summer School proposal web page. The login/password will be given at the school.
The generated schedule is here

The CARMA Memo You Will Write
Results from student projects from previous Summer Schools are published in CARMA Memos, which are available at http://www.mmarray.org/memos/ .
As in previous years, the class will author a CARMA Memo with the results of your observations. We have created a master LaTeX file in /opt/summerschoolscratch/memo/school2013_master.tex. (Log in to s3.carma.pvt using instructions above) You should include your writeup in this file using the LateX \include command. There are more detailed instructions on the file itself. The easiest thing is to put all your text and figures in a subdirectory, e.g. /opt/summerschoolscratch/memo/yourname. Please use the latex \ref and \label commands to indicate figures and tables so Marc doesn't have to go through and renumber all the figures and tables! Also please use bibtex format for your references, putting them in school2013_master.bbl, and refer to them with \cite in the text. ADS can generate bibtex entries for your references for you automatically.
We have put an example you may follow in /opt/summerschoolscratch/memo/example. Once you have created your text, figures, and references, you should add a line to school2013_master.tex to include your file \input you/yourfile.tex and then do
pdflatex school2013_master.tex
bibtex school2013_master.aux
pdflatex school2013_master.tex
evince school2013_master.pdf
and fix any errors. There is no page limit, include as much text and as many figures as you wish.

An estimated 15,000 people flocked to San Francisco to enjoy the last day of Super Bowl City, but one among them caused a greater furor than others.
Justin Bieber is in the Bay Area ahead of Super Bowl 50.
Some lucky Beliebers stumbled across the two-time Grammy winner roaming the city's streets and snatched up the selfie opportunity. A fan site picked up the images and tweeted that he is in San Francisco for some parties but said he doesn't plan to attend the game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.
U.S. & World
The 21-year-old singer-songwriter posted a grainy video to Instagram in which he and Maejor, a.k.a. Michigan-born singer Brandon Green, race each other on a Chinatown street. The post is tagged, "Bryson Tiller you're next."
In another video posted to his Instagram page, Bieber and Maejor engage in a mock sword-fight on a sidewalk. Bieber emerges as the apparent winner, laughing at his friend's faux death scene.
The pair also posed for a photograph in a car with an unidentified friend.

A's back Anderson with long ball to top Astros
Left-hander ties career best with 10 strikeouts
HOUSTON -- It proved to be quite the productive weekend for the A's.
They took in their first trip to Houston, had three lengthy business meetings with their newest division opponents and, along the way, casually scored 23 runs.
It wasn't batting practice, but it may as well have been.
Oakland wrapped up a three-game sweep over the Astros on Sunday with a commanding 9-3 victory that featured a 10-strikeout performance by lefty Brett Anderson, tying his career high.
Suddenly, the same team that scored just one run in its first two games -- both losses -- has crossed home plate 29 times in the five consecutive wins that have followed.
"We've done everything well," said Jed Lowrie, who picked up his third three-hit day of the season. "We've pitched well, played good defense and hit well."
All sure is well in A's land, except for maybe right fielder Josh Reddick, who is day to day after spraining his right wrist in the fifth inning when he slammed into a wall while attempting to snag a ball in foul territory.
A rebuilding Houston club, meanwhile, has endured quite the eye-opening welcome to the American League West, having scored just nine runs in five straight losses since totaling eight in its first and only win a week ago against the Rangers.
Oakland has scored six or more runs in each of its wins, much thanks to the long ball. There have been 12, most in the American League, and Coco Crisp and Lowrie are responsible for half of them with three each.
Crisp hit one in every game this weekend, marking the second time -- and first since 2008 -- he's hit home runs in three straight games. The veteran also collected four doubles in the series, including one to lead off Sunday's matinee.
Oakland quickly grabbed a lead in the second against righty Lucas Harrell, who walked Brandon Moss and Chris Young and watched them both score on Seth Smith's double. Harrell proceeded to issue three more walks in the third, which was highlighted by Lowrie's opposite-field, two-run homer.
Lowrie's 3-for-5 performance against his former club lifted his batting average to an even .500, having collected 12 hits in his first 24 at-bats with his new team.
"For where you are in the season right now, it's pretty remarkable to be hitting .500, especially since he was 0-for the first game," manager Bob Melvin said. "He's very consistent from both sides of the plate, isn't trying to do too much, seeing the ball very well."
Attempting to keep up with his teammate, Crisp notched his home run in the next inning with two outs. Young simply outdid both of them with a three-run monster shot in the fifth off Harrell, who departed after the knock with his team trailing by eight.
Such a deficit is hard enough to overcome on any day, but especially when that day has Anderson on the mound.
The A's southpaw shook off two visits by a trainer after reaching for a pair of balls hit his way and put together a strong outing, allowing two unearned runs on five hits with two walks to go along with his 10 strikeouts, last achieved as a rookie in September 2009 against the Indians.
Anderson, like Reddick, was sent for X-rays upon his departure from the game. Tests on the pitchers' left thumb, which Carlos Corporan's base hit deflected off in the second inning, came back negative.
Still, Anderson was in plenty of pain after the game, and not just because of his finger. His left wrist was also hit by a ball during the game and, readying himself to speak to reporters in the clubhouse, he bumped his head on the corner of his locker.
"Tommy Topper right there," he said, joking.
As for his thumb, "It doesn't feel great," Anderson said. "But there are a couple other places in my body that don't feel good now, either -- my head, my wrist. It's a little tender and swollen and bloody and gnarly-looking. It's gray, which is a weird color. Other than that, it was a good day. We won and I pitched fairly decent."
The typically graceless Anderson, who said he was actually trying to get out of the way of both balls that hit him, tweeted after the game, "They should just give me the Gold Glove now."
"You can't teach instincts," Melvin said, smiling.

Bili, a baby bonobo, was born at the Twycross Zoo in England. But when his mother rejected him, zookeepers hand-reared the young ape until he was ready to join a new foster mother and another group of bonobos at the Frankfurt Zoo in Germany.
Although Bili had official animal export documents, he was also given a pretend passport and his own seat on his Lufthansa flight to Germany.
