26 April 1937. The Nazi Luftwaffe backed Franco's fascists with the first ever carpet bombing of an undefended civilian target, Guernica. This atrocity horrified the world and helped to shift public opinion behind the Spanish Republican cause, though shamefully not that of the British Government, which stuck steadfastly to its 'non-intervention' line.
George Steer's eyewitness acount in The Times described what he saw as 'without mercy, with system', words that remain tragically pertinent to the bloody legacy of carpet bombing in conflicts ever since.
Philosophy Football's anniversary T-shirt, reflecting Picasso's famous painting, bears witness to Guernica and is available here.

Assad's Mother in Dubai, Syrian Expats Say
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةAnisa Makhlouf, the mother of President Bashar Assad, has left the war-torn country and joined her daughter in Dubai, Syrian expatriates in the United Arab Emirates and an activist said on Sunday.
Makhlouf has been living next to her daughter, Bushra, the only sister of Assad, in Dubai since around 10 days, Syrian expatriates told Agence France Presse.
Bushra's husband General Assef Shawkat, an army deputy chief of staff, was killed along with three other high-ranking Syrian officials in a July 18 bombing at the National Security headquarters in Damascus.
In September, Syrian residents in the Gulf emirate said that Bushra had enrolled her five children at a private school in Dubai where she had moved.
Makhlouf's "departure from Syria is another indication of Assad losing support even from within his family," said Ayman Abdel Nour, head of the newly-formed group Syrian Christians for Democracy and editor-in-chief of opposition news website all4syria.com.
Analysts say that Assad is increasingly relying on the tightly-knit circle surrounding him, which includes Maher, his only brother still alive and who commands the army's notorious Fourth Brigade.
Assad's two other brothers Bassel and Majd are dead. The embattled president also relies on relatives from his mother's side, analysts say.
A large number of businessmen and wealthy Syrians who had close ties with the regime have fled the deadly bloodshed in Syria to Dubai in the past few months.
More than 60,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in Syria's 22-month conflict, according to the United Nations.
The conflict has sent some 600,000 people fleeing the country, most of them to neighboring countries, according to the world body.
Yalla....they won't last long in Dubai....someone will get them...the revenge factor is too much...they can run, but will never be able to hide...My estimate is by the end of March, or mid-April, Bashar and his family and Maher will be wiped out...indeed, the clock is ticking, and MUCH faster now, for this hyena and his boys.

De La Fuente runs for NYC mayoral seat
His "first problem is that he does not live here," said the Times.
Don Bauder 9:30 p.m., March 25
"This is the second stop on a tour that will take us around the world," Bad Religion's lead singer and cofounder Greg Graffin informed a packed Soma, as the band opened their 26-song set with "Past Is Dead," from their new release True North, followed by "We're Only Gonna Die," from their 1982 debut How Could Hell Be Any Worse?
The invigorated and raucous crowd was treated to a no-frills, in-your-face punk-rock show that highlighted songs spanning the band's 34-year career. Graffin revealed that they were working out some kinks onstage, but nonetheless, the band sounded very tight, with searing guitars, confident delivery, and explosive energy.
A mix of old and new made up the set list, which included classics such as "21st Century Digital Boy," "Infected," and "I Want to Conquer the World," propelling the crowd into overdrive.
For an hour and a half the band rocked and rolled Soma, and when the show ended, the crowd slowly filed out, drenched, thrashed, with affirmation that with a little Bad Religion, we could conquer the world!
Hands down, my most fave punk band on the planet, with the most intelligent lyrics. I used to go see them in the early 80's in LA.

WASHINGTON — The Drug Enforcement Administration seized more than $36 million in cash and arrested 91 people in a nationwide crackdown against manufacturers, distributors and vendors of synthetic designer drugs.
The DEA administrator, Michele Leonhart, said agents in 31 states also seized 4.9 million packets of synthetic marijuana, material to make 13.6 million more packages and 167,000 packages of bath salts. DEA and other law enforcement agencies also seized materials to make 392,000 more packets of bath salts.
Leonhart said the synthetic drugs are "marketed directly to teenagers."
"Many of these products come with a disclaimer that they are 'not for human consumption' to mask the danger they pose," Leonhart said.
The agents raided smoke shops and other sellers of synthetic marijuana and other synthetic drugs that have been linked to psychotic episodes and deaths of users. The drugs have become a popular alternative to traditional street drugs, but law enforcement and health professionals have warned that the chemicals used to make the synthetic marijuana and hallucinogenic "bath salts" haven't been tested or approved for human consumption. The synthetic marijuana is sold under brand names such as "K2" and "Spice."
The agency temporarily has banned some of the chemicals found in synthetic marijuana, and President Barack Obama this month signed into law a measure that bans the sale, production and possession of many of the chemicals found in the most popular synthetic drugs.
But experts who have studied the drugs estimate that there are more than 100 different bath-salt chemicals circulating. Bath salts can mimic the effects of cocaine, LSD and methamphetamine.
Use of the drugs has grown since the synthetic products first hit the market a few years ago. They are readily available for purchase in smoke shops and sometimes even corner gas stations, and at a relatively low price, and that's made them a popular alternative to street drugs.
As the drugs have become more popular, side effects have become evident to health professionals. Doctors and police have struggled at times to control bath salt users who often become feverish and paranoid that they are being attacked. Several deaths have been attributed to the drugs, including the suicide of a 21-year-old Covington, La., man who shot himself in the head in 2010.
Associated Press reporter Matthew Perrone contributed to this report.

For you see, Libya under Ghaddafi's leadership has not only been "transformed...into one of the most prosperous and progressive nations in Africa and the Middle East," but Ghaddafi himself "has been at the fashion forefront for much of the African/Arab world." Ghaddafi has "over 3400 items of breathtaking sartorial magnificence" to lend the Met. The letter goes on:AdvertisementIndeed many of his clothes have been featured in global magazines from the hundreds of state visits and functions he has hosted over the years for world leaders. All of whom are in agreement, ahumdillah, that our President is one of the very best dressed men of the last half century...It is not only African and Arab leaders who have been influenced by his style and substance but many western rock stars and celebrities who have also been won over by the Ghaddafi look: most notably Michael Jackson in the late 1980's copied the signature motif military style of our leader to great chart success on his own terms.Michael, apparently, never wore anything military-inspired until the Colonel made it cool. The Times' Horacio Silva declined the Libyan government's kind offer of a trip to Tripoli to check out the goods. [T]Gwyneth Paltrow will, as previously rumored, be the next face of Coach. She shot the campaign with Peter Lindbergh and the ads will run internationally in Europe and Asia. [WWD] Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci guest-edited the new issue of Visionaire, from which this image of Christina Ricci as the Madonna is taken. Tisci, whose often Gothic-inspired work has put him in the running to replace John Galliano at Christian Dior, says Catholicism has always been important in his life. He prays before showing his seasonal collections. "At the end of the day, I believe in my Jesus Christ, I believe in my God, and I am Catholic. It's one of the world's oldest religions and it's not quick to change. But my mother will tell you that, I might not seem it, I might not look it, but I am a good, religious boy."

[Telegraph] A French man has patented a new, apparently highly flexible high heel sole design. This is entry number 976,348 in the product category "stilettos that make extravagant and inevitably disappointing claims of comfort."

[Racked] The Telegraph is jumping on the Angelina Jolie for Louis Vuitton rumor earlier reported (generated?) by E!. Although the story doesn't name any sources — there's not even a single "according to people close to the actress" — the paper reports that Jolie will, indeed, be paid close to $10 million for her efforts, that the ads will break over the summer, and that the photographer will be Annie Leibovitz. Sounds like Angie's doing a Louis Vuitton "Core Values" ad, à la Gorbachev and Keith Richards, not a seasonal ad campaign, à la Madonna, because Leibovitz usually shoots the "Core Values" stuff and Steven Meisel already reportedly photographed a gaggle of models for Louis Vuitton's fall campaign. [Telegraph]Lara Stone: "I never gave it that much thought to pursue acting or anything, but I would definitely be a Bond girl if they asked me. For sure — I would make a great evil Bond girl!" [WWD]Karl Lagerfeld never cuts his hair because then someone might discover he's actually a robot because he's afraid it won't grow back. He also says he thinks Riccardo Tisci should take over Christian Dior, and Haider Ackermann should take Tisci's spot at Givenchy. And he doesn't want to talk about Balmain, which recently fired its designer, Christophe Decarnin, and presented a collection largely completed by the stylist Melanie Ward: "Forget about it! This was a job done by a fashion editor. I don't even know the name of the man who did it, so don't ask me about that."

Their cows get shampoo according to their hair type, and the milk costs $4.49 a half-gallon. It's not actually organic, even. [WSJ]People hate tights. [NYPost]Here's some fashion advice from Tina Fey: "A wise friend once told me, 'Don't wear what fashion designers tell you to wear. Wear what they wear.' His point being that most designers, no matter what they throw onto the runway, favor simple, flattering pieces for themselves. Anyone who has never met me can tell you that fashion has always been very very very very very very very important to me. For example, I once told my cousin that my dream would be 'if the whole store Express was my closet!' How prescient, because now, of course, I wear nothing but Express. It can't be said enough. Don't concern yourself with fashion; stick to simple pieces that flatter your body type … By 19, I had found my look. Oversize T-shirts, bike shorts, and wrestling shoes. To prevent the silhouette from being too baggy, I would cinch it at the waist with my fanny pack. I was pretty sure I would wear this look forever. The shirts allowed me express myself with cool sayings like 'There's No Crying in Baseball' and 'Universität Heidelberg,' the bike shorts showed off my muscular legs, and the fanny pack held all my trolley tokens. I was nailing it on a daily basis. Find something like this for yourself as soon as possible." [Fashionista]Reply23 repliesLeave a reply

THE word ẓur (rock) is a homonym. First, it denotes rock," as "And thou shalt smite the rock" (ẓur) (Exod. xvii. 6). Then, hard stone," like the flint, e.g., "Knives of stone" (ẓurim) (Josh. v. 2). It is next employed to signify the quarry from which the stones are hewn; comp. "Look unto the rock (ẓur) whence ye are hewn" (Isa. li. 1). From this latter meaning of the term another figurative notion was subsequently derived, viz., "the root and origin" of all things. It is on this account that after the words "Look to the rock whence ye are hewn," the Prophet continues," Look unto Abraham your father," from which we evidently may infer that the words "Abraham your father" serve to explain" the rock whence ye are hewn"; and that the Prophet meant to say, "Walk in his ways, put faith in his instruction, and conduct yourselves according to the rule of his life! for the properties contained in the quarry should be found again in those things which are formed and hewn out of it."
It is in the latter sense that the Almighty is called "rock," He being the origin and the causa efficiens of all things besides Himself. Thus we read, "He is the Rock, His work is perfect" (Deut. xxxii. 4); "Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful" (Deut. xxxii. 18); "Their Rock had sold them" (xxxi. 30); "There is no rock like our God" (1 Sam. ii. 2); "The Rock of Eternity" (Isa. xxvi. 4). Again, "And thou shalt stand upon the Rock" (Exod. xxxiii. 21), i.e., Be firm and steadfast in the conviction that God is the source of all things, for this will lead you towards the knowledge of the Divine Being. We have shown (chap. viii.) that the words "Behold, a place is with me" (Exod. xxxiii. 21) contain the same idea.

The Medium Is the Message in David Fincher's Present-Tense Social Network
Is the world moving so fast that were actually memorializing, in movie form, the year 2003? The events of The Social Network, the opening-night film of this years New York Film Festival (which well review in next weeks issue), begin during the fall of that year and bring us up to the present day. Recounting the rocky rise to world domination of Facebook and its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, The Social Network is so of-the-moment that the White Stripes counts as a period signifier.
Fetishizing scraps of facts as if a greater truth can be found in the minute, rather than the metaphor, director David Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin approach the zeitgeist as a beast thats left fresh tracks: to talk about the way we live now, they retrace, step by step, just how we arrived here. With actual journalism in transitionsome would say in perildramatic films like The Social Network are in a sense filling a void left by the demolition of investigative news, taking a journalistic approach to fictionalized entertainment, constructing stories that lay out evidence, reveal sources, and respect chronology. Its moviemaking as a magazine cover story. Like in the 1970s, another time of financial crisis and protracted military engagement, it seems things have gotten so tangled that many filmmakers cant wait to start the untying. (See: The Queen, The Battle for Haditha, even The Hurt Locker.)
The gold standard for factually constructed, present tense filmmaking is Alan J. Pakulas All the Presidents Men. Thirty-four years after its release, the film has lost none of its experiential punch. Made in 1976, less than two years after President Nixons resignation, it captured America in a different maelstrom of the present, though also dazed and confused as to how it all turned out so badly. Pakula and screenwriter William Goldman, much like Fincher, broke up a puzzling reality and put it together one piece at a time. They looked closely, embraced the banality of the workplace as a baseline, and depicted the reporting process in what seems like real-time rather than reductive montage. Woodward and Bernstein spend as much time on the phone or pecking at a typewriter as they do sneaking out for shadowy meetings with Deep Throat. Despite the fact that its revelations are no longer a national secret, All the Presidents Men still works in the moment even as its so clearly of a moment.
NYFF: Social Network's Present Tense
New York Film Festival 2010 Guide
Feature: The Hype and the Substance. Plus: Our Best of the Fest

Feature: Martin Scorsese Finally Tells His Hero How He Feels
(This is not often the case. As with magazine features, most movies that trade in hot-button current events have a short shelf-life. Take Oliver Stone's recent W. While ripped from the headlines and providing a quick-draw portrait of a sitting president, W. lacked a certain journalistic vigilancehaving more in common with Stone's historical fictions J.F.K. and Nixon, films not as interested in facts as they are in psychological conjecture.)
The contemporary films that The Social Network most closely recalls are Shattered Glass (2003)the true story of another inscrutable, morally mercurial twentysomething upstartand Michael Manns The Insider (1999). Manns film is a pre-millennial paranoid thriller about big tobacco, corporate malfeasance, legal maneuvering, and the degraded standards of a revered news show (60 Minutes). The Insider has a gossipy, mildly salacious, behind-the-scenes quality similar to Finchers film, with plot points that nevertheless arise from unsexy court injunctions, editorial redactions, and cell phone conversations. As a relevant piece of factual fiction, Manns film rang the alarm for its late-90s era, warning of rampant corporate power that could, and did, ensnare employees, consumers, government officials, the judiciary, and the press, a sorry state that led millions of Americans to vote for Ralph Nader in the next years presidential election.
More than a decade later, The Social Network shows that its no longer corporate entitlement that keeps us up at night (though it still should), but rather a public-sphere busting Internet. So how does one make a drama of and about the information agean age of physical inactivity and visual inertiamove? How can you get an exciting scene out of e-mail? The truth is that its not really a stretch. Film is, essentially, the advance of information at a speed faster than we can process, flipping forward by frames and edited together by design. Fincher uses the rapidity of film recording to articulate the speed of media. He shoots a telephone exchange as a standard shot/reverse shot, cutting between two characters to mirror and contrast, hastening cuts as the exchange becomes clipped, creating suspense through rhythm and by simply, materially riding the waves of conversation.
Not just chronicling the times but emulating them, Fincher barely ever lets Zuckerberg be alone. Though The Social Network takes an angle on the boy billionaire, its not really a character study or reflective biographyit provides no back-story or psychological skeletons upon which to flesh out a narrative. This is, both out of choice and necessity, an of-the-moment impression, without the traditional biopic over-reach. If anything, Zuckerberg is a composite hastily and self-servingly sketched, a model and martyr for the true present, a man without privacy and yet unknowable. Without the luxury/constraints of hindsight or historical context, Fincher and Sorkins story builds power through distance, through a strictly objective eye, as if the film were capturing rather than making a reality. (Of course, its doing the latter: Just as our collective memory of Watergate includes Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford, so will we look back on Generation Facebook with a vision of Jesse Eisenberg in a hoodie and shower shoes.) Like All the Presidents Men, The Social Network doesnt will meaning onto the material, but allows meaning to arise from accumulated circumstance. In other words, The Social Network succeeds, per journalisms most basic directive, in showing not telling. And like great journalism, a great film can capture the reality of the presentand even make art out of it.

Mycophenolate Mofetil and Abacavir Treatment in HIV Patients With Failed Anti-HIV Treatment

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to learn how safe and well-tolerated mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is when given with abacavir (ABC). Another purpose is to see if adding MMF to ABC decreases viral load (amount of HIV in the blood) more than ABC alone.
Many HIV-infected patients who have had heavy exposure to anti-HIV drugs and have experienced treatment failure need new treatment combinations. One promising combination is ABC and MMF as part of a drug combination. Laboratory studies show that MMF helps ABC destroy HIV in the cells and further clinical testing is needed. MMF is not FDA-approved as a treatment for HIV infection but has been approved by FDA to prevent rejection of organ transplants. Doses of MMF tested in this study will be lower than those used to treat people with organ transplants.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
HIV Infections |
Drug: Abacavir sulfate Drug: Mycophenolate mofetil |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Masking: Double-Blind Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase I/II Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Antiretroviral Activity of Mycophenolate Mofetil As an Adjunct to Abacavir Therapy in HIV-Infected Subjects With Treatment Failure and Extensive Prior Antiretroviral Exposure |
Enrollment: | 0 |
A large group of heavily drug-exposed HIV-infected individuals with detectable HIV-1 RNA exists as a result of the sequential use and failure of existing antiretroviral agents from each of the 3 antiretroviral drug classes (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors [NRTIs], protease inhibitors [PIs], and nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors [NNRTIs]). Systematic approaches are needed to define "salvage therapy" regimens for this patient group. This trial uses a short-term study to determine the initial safety, pharmacology, and antiviral potency of MMF in augmenting the antiretroviral effect of ABC, which then can be appraised for use as a salvage regimen. After rapid oral absorption, MMF is hydrolyzed to form MPA (mycophenolic acid), the active metabolite. Recent in vitro studies show that MPA concentrations as low as 62.5 nM synergistically increase the antiviral effect of ABC or ddI, or of ABC in combination with ddI, against multinucleoside-resistant HIV strains. These observations suggest that MMF in combination with ABC might play a role in antiretroviral therapy in patients with drug resistance, and continued clinical evaluation of MMF is warranted.
At study entry, patients stop current NRTIs but continue taking PIs and NNRTIs with study treatment. The first 50 patients are stratified by plasma HIV-1 RNA (below 40,000 copies/ml or 40,000 and higher copies/ml) and randomized to either Arm A or Arm B. Arm A receives ABC with MMF placebo; Arm B receives ABC and MMF. Only ABC and MMF are provided by the study. Treatment is received for 4 weeks and patients are evaluated for safety, tolerability, and virologic response. At Week 4, entry genotype results are provided to patients and antiretroviral therapy may then be altered as indicated. Patients are unblinded to study treatment as soon as possible after Week 4 but no later than Week 7. Future opening of Arm C to 125 additional patients is delayed until the first 50 patients have reached Week 4 and an interim review of safety and virologic response is completed. Responders may continue study treatment through Week 24. At 10 clinic visits patients have blood drawn for HIV-1 RNA determinations, CD4 and CD8 cell counts, and genotyping. Patients may participate in pharmacokinetic substudy A5121s.

Bus drivers attacked by teen at Langley bus loop
Monique Tamminga
Times Reporter
A Langley teen faces serious charges after what appears to be a drunken rampage which included trying to assault several bus drivers and stab other people at the Langley City bus loop on May 3.
Police say the 18-year-old man was a passenger on a shuttle bus destined for the Langley bus loop from Willowbrook Shopping Centrel.
He appeared to be intoxicated when he boarded the bus around 4 p.m. and passed out en route to the bus loop, allege police.
The bus driver anticipated she would likely have an issue with the sleeping teen so she was met by another bus driver when they arrived at the bus loop.
Both drivers approached the drunken teen and asked him to leave the bus. He started swinging his fists at both of them, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks.
"Fortunately, both were able to avoid getting hit," said Marks.
It's alleged that the suspect then exited the bus where a number of transit users had gathered.
Police allege he produced a knife and attempted to stab one of the bus patrons.
Once again, he did not injure his target.
"A random vehicle arrived at the loop and two males exited. One of the men kicked the knife out of his hand," said Marks. The other man retrieved the knife and both got into their vehicle and drove off, said Marks.
Now, apparently unarmed, the suspect tried to board another shuttle bus.
"When the driver refused him service, he took another swing – thankfully, another unlanded punch," she said.
Police arrived and Lance James Flegel was arrested. He has been charged with assault, assault with a weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, and two counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. He appeared in Surrey Provincial Court on Wednesday. He has been held in jail.
"We are very alive to the potential for danger to the bus drivers and take these investigations very seriously. We are extremely happy that no one was hurt in this instance," said Langley RCMP Insp. Murray Power.
This attack comes after a spat of vicious, and unprovoked attacks on bus drivers in the past few months.
On April 2, a bus driver was punched in the face while driving in the Newton area of Surrey. In March, three young women punched and dragged the driver by her hair in an unprovoked attack in Vancouver.

I love their albums cuz they totally have an 80's vibe going on. Their live show (seen them 2 times live) is a bit over-produced for a live set. Still, with a new album out this past summer I'm looking forward to see their show again. The visuals (dancers, costumes, etc.) is worth it.
My roommate was planning on going with me and we were going to stay in her family condo in Palm Desert, but she had some work obligations come up at the last minute and now my housing situation is up in the air. Might be able to latch on to another group of friends, but they are pretty crammed in as is. The tough part about this is we were flying into Long Beach to save some money on airfare, but I most likely will be able to get a ride to Palm Springs. Looking for any situation whether it's a couch, camping, a recliner, whatever. I'm a 24 y/o guy living in Portland, OR who recently graduated from University of Oregon, very easy-going and just looking to enjoy my first Coachella experience!
Hey there, I have a weekend 1 car camping pass and am interested in joining you all.
I just found out I'm going solo this year so would like to meet up with some cool people to make a bigger campground. I went the second weekend last year and did something similar with about 10 spots, and it was a lot of fun.
I just have a small tent but often end up crashing in the back of my car, so you 'd be welcome to use most of my spot as a chill/party area if needed.
This will be my 4th Coachella. Driving from the valley area of LA if anyone needs a ride.
Let me know if it's cool to join you!
I'll be in Eldorado but hoping to meet up with really fun people!
Well looks like it will be sunny this weekend, but for some reason i think it will still be cold, this year i am going to bring more stuff to bundle up.
The forecast is looking perfect so far; I usually bring a hoodie and jeans for night anyways. At least it won't be like 2012. Hopefully we don't have wind problems again though.
Weather.com: Accuweather.com: Wunderground.com: Thurs: H-95 L-64 H-91 L-61 H-97 L-65 Fri: H-89 L-61 H-86 L-58 H-89 L-60 Sat: H-88 L-63 H-87 L-61 H-88 L-64 Sun: H-92 L-65 H-90 L-49 H-93 L-67
As long as it's not as windy as last year, I can deal with heat and cold. I saw Trentemoller last night, it was amazing. I can't believe he's not on the line-up considering he played at a goldenvoice venue and dropped a new album last year.
Good morning everyone, and Happy Coachella Week! I'll be sending out the meetup info this afternoon. Please reply with your phone number so that we can contact each other in case someone gets lost or delayed. Thanks!
Hey Guys…serious procrastinator here…I got a weekend 1 car camping spot and going solo this year.
This will be my 3rd Coachella, 2nd time going solo. I do love going solo cause you don't have to compromise on what bands you want to see. But last year I car camped it solo and the neighbors weren't so friendly so it was a bit of drag. I told myself that next year I need to find a cool group to camp next to….but here it is, next year with only days to go and I totally lagged on finding a group. I know it's really late in the game but you all seem like cool people and good group… is it too late to join in on your reindeer games? - Manny
Hey guys haven't posted in this thread in a while, I just got off the phone with my friend and it looks like we're planning on being at Ralphs around 930-10, and then right after I got off the phone I got the Pm from ibu. So if we're there we'll look for ya. I'll be PMing ibuprofane.
(PS I heard Skrillex just finished his new spaceship stage at about 7am this morning)
Coachella Class of '09, '10, '11, '12W2, '13W1, '14W1 '15W1
Find me in that Barry Sanders jersey.
I wish I had their info
I have a friend who works for OWSLA's publicist.
Coachella Class of '09, '10, '11, '12W2, '13W1, '14W1 '15W1
Find me in that Barry Sanders jersey.
Thanks guys....just PM'ed Ibuprofane my contact info...looking forward to meeting up with you all.
Hey guys,
Just wondering if there is any open space in this group. My original plans fell through and now I don't have a place to camp. It would actually be a friend and me on Thursday night, and just me for the rest of the weekend. He is staying off-site afterwards, but I love the camping experience too much. He has a companion pass, so a ride would not be a problem, we kinda just need somewhere to crash. We are both very friendly and like to party too. I could bring a case of beer and a case of water. I'm a 23 year old guy who recently graduated from USC, but now I'm living in Houston, TX. Also this will be my 7th coachella. Let me know if we can work something out. Thanks.

The best conception and parenting apps
I have to confess to being a bit of a technophobe. But even I have to admit that there are some absolutely brilliant apps available to help with this ever challenging job that is parenting.
Here are some of our favourites.
Pre-conception and birth:
- FemCal – keep track of your monthly cycle but also useful for trying to conceive as can track various fertility symptoms and gives expected best time to conceive.
- ContractionMaster – easily and accurately times contractions in labour.
- BabyNames – does what it says on the tin really! If you are struggling with finding a name for your bun, this app is bound to throw up some interesting suggestions.
- My Pregnancy Today – from BabyCentre – day to day guide for pregnancy, link to the Birth Clubs forum and advice.
To help with baby:
- iBaby Feed Timer – designed for breastfeeding mothers to keep track of when and how long baby feeds, whether from breast, bottle or expressed milk. Includes useful reminder for which breast to start on each time. Very easy to use – can stop and start the timer and it also keeps running in the background so you can check your emails etc at the same time!
- Babychange – a free app developed by NCT which tells you where the nearest baby changing location is. The older your baby gets – the easier it becomes to change them pretty much anywhere (the car boot, passenger seat, moving train etc etc!) but with this app you can do it in ease and comfort and without the need for octopus arms!
- Babyphone – this app turns your smartphone into a baby monitor – it listens to your baby and when it hears them wake it calls a number to notify you. Very clever!
- Aroundme – a free app that tells you where you can find the nearest chemist, bank, hospital, etc. An absolute life saver when you need something or somewhere in a hurry.
- Mumderground – This is a brilliant app which tells you how to get from A to B on the London underground with a buggy. Whether you are a visitor, or particularly if you live in London, this app is the answer to saving a fortune on cab fares and enabling you to get wherever you want to be – just like everyone else!
There are of course also loads of apps to entertain little ones – but we'll let you discover those for yourselves – or pass your phone to your 4 year old and they'll do it for you!

'the clarity bike' by designaffairs studio is fully transparent
image courtesy designaffairs studio
using new materials and manufacturing techniques, german designaffairs studio has envisioned the future of bicycle
frame engineering and production with their latest project – 'the clarity bike'. by using 'trivex' – an alternative to
polycarbonate, the advanced polymer combines high impact resistance with flexible and lightweight technologies
that can be found in traditional italian steel frames.
as the polymer is able to be injection molded, it allows for affordable and precise mass production,
expanding on the possibilities for different form and color combinations. initially used in military applications,
it offers outstanding chemical resistance and thermal stability for withstanding extreme temperatures.
like the FYLM speaker, the project is still in conceptual stages, but proves valid as technologies and production
capabilities advance with time.
frame detail of the 'clarity bike'

transparency detail
image courtesy designaffairs studio
"project is still in conceptual stages" ie doesn't work
there is NO reason to leave conceptual level just yet.. a few issues you have to consider first.
1. New material + new tech' = new shape (if design is the issue)
2. Transparency has to give something extra to usability.
3. As a polymer you have to prove that it is better than traditional materials &
Technologies in aspect of weight, stiffness, resistance and unit cost.
4. It seems suitable for a "ONE-OFF". Not more.
Put some ed lights in the frame, if the whole frame can chance color or be brightly lit it will provide fantastic visibility and saftey for cyclists.
the sad thing is that had they opted to make a frame with bamboo, no one would challenge the concept
bamboo is very stiff, this stuff is not.
I would be terrified to ride that number, but I love the concept. Interesting geometry with the head tube – not sure if I like it or not.
as a cyclist, you want to be seen, not invisible
As elegant looking this bike is, I would be too conscious not to damage it or even make it dirty when I ride it.
What is te problem statement?
What are the designers trying to achieve?
Is there a need for such a bike in the market?
…sometime we have to ask ourselves enough questions before deciding to design – designing for design's sake can be futile
fake ? …
How many cyclists are killled on our roads? If you feel the need to redesign yet another object which is perfectly fit for purpose then please at least make it highly visible. Any cyclist will tell you that.
What an utter waste of time & energy.
man you people are critical: my 2 cents.
visibility: if you read the text is says that it can be any colour, or combination of colours, this or comments about adding lighting into the frame solves the visibility issue.
Why: if you can injection mold the frame, makes it allot easier to mass produce, and potentially cheaper, with less material wastage. potentially easier cheaper stronger and more environmentally sustainable.
How "light" is it?
I believe this bike would be a wonderful idea if they add l.e.d. lights inside the tubing which will allow it to be visible at night, during the day if someone dont see you they shouldnt be driving in the first place. also since they can possibly mass produce it, it would be cheaper

* Iran deputy foreign minister, UN nuclear chief meet
* Technical-level talks ensue, to continue on Tuesday
* IAEA suspects Iran covertly researched nuclear weapons
* Two sides using diplomatic opening of new Iran president
* Talks parallel to Iran's negotiations with 6 big powers
Iran's deputy foreign minister said he had made proposals to the U.N. nuclear watchdog chief on Monday after pledging "a new approach" to easing international concerns about indications of illicit atomic bomb research by Tehran.
The U.N. agency wants to resume an investigation, long stymied by Iranian non-cooperation, into what it calls the "possible military dimensions" of the Islamic Republic's atomic activities. Tehran says it is enriching uranium solely for electricity generation and medical treatments.
Hopes of overcoming the stalemate between Iran and the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over the nature of the nuclear programme have risen since the election of a moderate president committed to easing Tehran's isolation.
Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said he had had "very useful and constructive" discussions with IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano and had made proposals to him to be addressed in detail by senior IAEA and Iranian experts later in the day.
The technical-level talks - the 12th such meeting since January 2012 and paralleling a revival of political negotiations between Iran and six world powers - ensued and were due to last about three hours.
Even before these talks had finished, an IAEA official announced that they would resume at 0900 GMT on Tuesday - in what could be a sign of new potential for progress.
"I am very hopeful that we can come out with a good result," Araqchi, a top Iranian nuclear negotiator, told reporters after his meeting with Amano in Vienna.
It was the first high-level IAEA-Iranian meeting since Iranian President Hassan Rouhani took office in early August promising to drop confrontation in favour of conciliation in the diplomacy of the Islamic state, seeking relief from harsh Western sanctions now hobbling its oil-based economy.
"It is very important for all of us that we can show concrete progress," Amano said, seated across a table from Araqchi at IAEA headquarters as the meeting got under way.
The two sides would discuss "ways forward to address all the outstanding issues regarding Iran's nuclear programme. These are longstanding and complicated issues", Amano added.
Araqchi said: "We think this is the time to take a new approach to resolving (questions) between Iran and the IAEA and look to the future for further cooperation" between them.
Iran's nuclear activity "is peaceful and it will remain peaceful for ever", he said.
Expectations for Monday's Vienna talks were relatively high after a series of failed meetings and diplomats believed Iran might soon offer some concessions, perhaps by permitting U.N. inspectors to visit its Parchin military base southeast of Tehran - long an IAEA priority.
"Everybody now expects something," a Western diplomat said.
The IAEA suspects that nuclear-related explosives tests were conducted in a steel chamber at the sprawling military complex, possibly a decade ago, and wants inspectors to interview officials to shed light on what happened there.
It has acknowledged, however, that it may no longer unearth any useful evidence at Parchin due to suspected Iranian efforts to remove any incriminating nuclear-linked traces there. Iran says Parchin is a conventional army base.
Taking advantage of the diplomatic opening enabled by Rouhani, Iran and six world powers are pursuing separate negotiations towards a broader political settlement of the dispute to head off any risk of a new Middle East war.
Their last meeting was held on Oct. 15-16 in Geneva, and another one is scheduled for Nov. 7-8. Experts from the two sides will meet in Vienna later this week.
An end to Iran's higher-grade enrichment of uranium is a central demand of the powers. Refining uranium to 20 percent is sensitive as it is a relatively short technical step to raise that to the 90 percent needed for a nuclear bomb.
Rouhani's pursuit of substantive negotiations and detente with the West marks a dramatic departure from eight years of ideological belligerence under hardline conservative predecessor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Rouhani spoke by telephone with U.S. President Barack Obama in September, the loftiest such contact between the long estranged countries since Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Nate Silver weighs in on 10th and 11th
As many of you who follow him know, Nate Silver has taken his 538 blog to The New York Times and it's even better than before. He now has statistical models that predict the likelihood that a candidate will win a congressional seat. In the 10th Congressional District, he thinks there's an 82 percent chance that Republican Tom Marino will defeat Democratic incumbent Rep. Chris Carney. In the 11th district, Republican Lou Barletta has a 61 percent chance of beating incumbent Democratic Rep. Paul Kanjorski. But The Times rates the Carney-Marino race as leaning Democratic, and the Kanjorski-Barletta race as a toss-up.
– Former Clinton administration political operative Dick Morris, now a Fox News commentator, was in Lewisburg on Tuesday night and predicted that Republican former U.S. attorney Tom Marino will win his race against Democratic Rep. Chris Carney, according to a Sunbury Daily Item story.
He called the race "absolutely pivotal" if Republicans want to regain control of the House.
He said Mr. Carney's involving Mr. Marino's friendship with Louis DeNaples were a sign of desperation.
"I believe Marino will win, if this is all Carney has," Morris said. "Why isn't Carney out there saying he voted for 'Obamacare,' or the bailouts? You don't hear that.
You just hear about poor Mr. DeNaples."
"Congressman Carney voted against the Wall Street bailout three times," Josh Drobnyk, Mr. Carney's campaign spokesman, shot back. "Tom Marino and his Washington cronies need to get their facts straight once and for all. It's hardly surprising to see Tom Marino bring in Washington insiders to lie about Congressman Carney's record and defend Marino's own web of lies, given the way Marino has conducted himself throughout his career."
– Republican congressional candidate Lou Barletta was in Bethany Beach, Delaware, to watch his daughter, April, and her fiance, Matt, get married last Saturday. The reception was in Rehoboth Beach. She was the first of the four daughters he and his wife, MaryGrace, have to get married. He recalled when April first told him about her new beau.
"She was going with him, she said, 'Dad, I have this guy I really like, I don't think you're going to like him.' I said, 'Well, sure I will, April, why won't I?.' She said, 'Well, he's a Democrat, his last name's Kennedy.' I said, 'April, that's OK, that's alright, that's OK with me.' She said 'No, I don't think you're going to like him. He's a Red Sox fan.' I don't care about being a Democrat, but he better not start with the Boston Red Sox in our house," Mr. Barletta said. "But he likes the Phillies now, he converted over to the Phillies."
Mr. Barletta is a huge New York Yankees fan. That, in itself, makes life difficult for him because he is friends with the leader of the Yankees American League East rivals, Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon.
Wonder what Mr. Barletta thinks of the fact that his Democratic opponent, U.S. Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski, got to meet former Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens when the accused steroid user gave his infamous testimony before Congress a few years back?
– Who's idea was it to have Ted Koppel moderate the state Chamber of Commerce's debate for governor Monday night? Mr. Koppel, as respected a journalist as there is in our business, started by saying he didn't know a lot about Pennsylvania issues and later asked the candidates how they would cure the federal deficit. Not his finest hour.

Sublimity: currently a best-priced 25-1 for this year's Champion Hurdle
PICTURE: Edward WhitakerSublimity looks likely to go straight to Festival
ROBBIE HENNESSY continues to keep stable star Sublimity going through the biting winter, but believes it is likely the 2007 Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle winner will not run again before the Cheltenham Festival.
Hennessy had intended to bring Sublimity, second to Solwhit in the Leopardstown Golf Centre December FestivalHurdle last time, back for the Toshiba Irish Champion Hurdle on January 24, but the snow laying on the track has to thaw first and that may soften the going too much for the top-of-the-ground ten-year-old.
"Our gallop is frozen, so it has been hard work getting horses out," said Hennessy on Saturday. "Dundalk and the gallops on the Curragh are open, but the first day we were able to get out to either was when we went to the Curragh today, even then it was snowing heavily and the roads were still very bad.
"Fortunately, most of our horses ran over Christmas so the hold-ups the snow is causing should not hamper our plans too much.
"Sublimity had a week off after his run and has cantered somehwere every day this week. He was one of three we took to the Curragh for a breeze and he was in great form, but I am concerned that when all this thaws out the ground will come up too heavy for him to run in the Irish Champion Hurdle.
"Should that happen, he'll go straight to Cheltenham and at this
stage that looks the most likely option."
If skipping the Grade 1, Sublimity could miss out on a rematch with

caps1's past comments
The 34-year-old rapper says the protests were part of a "deeply emotional" reaction to the war and the death of two Korean school girls, who were killed when a U.S. military vehicle hit them as they walked alongside the road. He noted antiwar sentiment was high around the world at the time.
Guess he had a right to protest. After all, the world wouldn't be so unsafe if the American government wasn't trying to create wars in the first place.
Posted in: Viral rapper PSY apologizes for anti-U.S. protests years ago
Very sad day for the families involved. Hopefully, these tragic events don't occur too often, and Japanese drivers don't learn bad habits and lazy driving from countries like America or the UK.
Ask the gullible victims in the UK, US and Australia about Nigerian scammers...

Maybe then the men would be able to get more holidays, get more sleep, be more productive and think about having kids other than getting drunk after work and women would be able to think about working and offer all their creative ideas that many men wouldn't be able to have and to again, have kids. And well, while you are at it, we can improve their happiness level so they don't commit suicide, enjoy their lives...it's just an idea.

Wow, this is a cool picture of Alice.
When I first saw Alice in episode 1, she reminded me of Saber. You could say if Saber lived and grew up to be a normal person she probably might of turn out to be like Alice.

Alice gets it from vol.3 of the manga onward (I think), but the chronology of the manga is messed up in the anime so who knows when it'll turn up. Soon hopefully. It's one the reasons I'm still watching it tbh, to see Alice swinging that double bladed sword...and that dress too

text: Zynga Buys Company That Made a Facebook Game I Really LikedStephen Totilo9/17/12 3:50pmFiled to: ZyngaFacebookA bit luckyMacPC24EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Last year, I praised the Facebook game Lucky Space, a space-mining strategy game, for being a) more complex than the average Facebook game and b) fun. Then I forgot to keep playing it, and at some point, perhaps recently, the game was yanked from Facebook? Why? (And isn't that weird?) Advertisement Advertisement The answer may well be because the company behind the game, A Bit Lucky, is moving on up. The FarmVille folks at Zynga just bought them for an undisclosed amount of money and now they're going to expand Zynga's range of "midcore" games. And if you're like me and not sure what in the world "midcore" means, here's one of their PR guys breaking that down: "we're talking about a deeper gameplay experience that's attractive to a wide range of players, and definitely enjoyed by core gamers, as well."OK. Sounds good?A Bit Lucky's next project is Solstice Arena, which Zynga general manager Bill Jackson describes as "an awesome multi-player (and multi-platform) game." Sadly, the official Solstice Arena website is nearly barren of specifics other than to say it is slated for tablets, Mac and PC.Reply24 repliesLeave a reply

Chris Miles 80 Bars Lyrics
Last updated: 12/28/2012 11:26:57 AM
Ive been dreaming bout a deal since the age of13
Im about to get a deal at the age of 13,
The youngest to win this thing,
And I aint stoppin soon
See I was bullied and beat up but now Im kickin my feet up
Yall should believe it, yeah Im headed for the top like NASA
Now everybody call me Jaden Smith,
Runnin the game, hustlin hard
Its nobody get here Im doin my part
You haters should fall back, and let me be me,
Pro symbol yeah thats what Im tryina be
All my verse is handicap cause they cant understand the flow
The kids that used to mess with me suddenly wanna hang and chill
They try to get me by but I leave em hanging like pedestals
Messages getting for you wanting me, like a mistletoe
And I dashed in, new figure blown, man take your best shot without the pistol drawn
I be killin everybody with the rhythme, you wishin that you could sing along
Shout up with the comments you haters, wish to different song
Im fed of these rappers fishy, get tackled like madden
Assassinatin a witness cause tricky know that Im killin
Entertaining my fans and boarder lining enemies
Mentally murder lames, you told me I never make it
See man the second Im done, I just hope that you remember me
Yeah I got detective theres not a survivor left to kill
I be honest, Im about to go, back a couple records within seconds of each other
If these haters leaving, I mean wed better pull up on all these rappers
Im your lyrical superior, the same my rounds is daddy
Empty your stereo, when just turn it up, they aint hearin ya
Paralyzing these pacifists, you can ask em what talent is
Matter of fact, they wont know the answer,
But is it cause Im a mad kid they callin me a star like Patrick
Think fast in fact to attackin maintain the chance of makin it
Cause these days you never know what happens
I be riding through my town boy, and wild rappin
Got the city on my vertebree, never stop for a second
Got these women on my mansions, you be askin for relationships
Aye I dont even in know you girl
Hey just try and take I yo, carjack
No paycheck in my pocket, sorry mom I aint thinking bout the callous
So fly, that prolly flow
Could you compare Wang or Harley Grove
Cuz Im an adolescent, was in Boston flow
Chris Miles a beast and dont you forget it.
Hide my voice? I aint no pothead
I be on that daily grind, til the sun rises I stay here
I got no mercy when I come through on attack
I could just kill in a ribbon, Eminem is getting the venom
Its ever since I ran the source that youd better step back
Kids from my school wanna chill now
At the world war star I got a mill, wow
Its funny, cuz last time I turned around all they ever did was freaking doubt me
Im like a power outage, I shut it down and I said
Okay Lamborghini Mercy, your chick, she so thirsty
I'm in that two-seat Lambo with your girl, she tryna jerk me
Okay Lamborghini Mercy, your chick, she so thirsty
I'm in that two-seat Lambo with your girl, she tryna jerk me
Well, it is a weeping and a moaning and a gnashing of teeth
It is a weeping and a mourning and a gnashing of teeth
It is a - when it comes to my sound which is the champion sound
Believe (believe!)

Skeptical at first, but soon realizing the value of his discovery, he quickly got the box home and posted on VW Vortex forum in hopes of finding its rightful owner. If it's yours, you will need to prove it, but the finder is more than willing to help you get it back. We need more good samaritans like this. Maybe then I'd have chance of recovering my "missing" iPod. [VWVortex]Reply128 repliesLeave a reply

Replacing a Lost CDL in New York
How to Replace a CDL
Replacing a lost New York commercial driver license is easy. Simply apply to the Department of Motor Vehicles for a duplicate license and pay a $17.50 fee. You may do this online or by mail if your address hasn't changed, or you may apply in person.
By Mail
To apply by mail, download Form MV-44 and Form MV-44.1 (instructions for filling out Form MV-44). Make copies of your proofs of identity (contrary to what it says on Form MV-44.1, the DMV says that photocopies are acceptable for mail-in transactions). Mail the form, the proofs of identity, and the $17.50 fee to:
- DMV License Production Bureau
- P.O. Box 2688-ESP
- Albany, NY 12220-0668
If you're using an express mail service such as FedEx or UPS, use this address:
- DMV License Production Bureau
- Room 223
- 6 Empire State Plaza
- Albany, NY 12228
More Information
The DMV has provided further instructions on applying for a duplicate license by mail.
Since you may be ticketed for driving without a license in your possession, and you may only be issued a temporary CDL at a local DMV office while waiting for your permanent replacement license to be sent to you (this could take four weeks or more), consider bypassing the online and mail options and applying for a duplicate license in person.
If Your License was Stolen
The DMV will replace free of charge licenses that were lost due to a crime as long as you file a police report, obtain form MV-78B from the police, and apply for a duplicate license in person with the form at a local DMV office.
