Topic: Grammy Awards 2014
Dr. Luke vs. Justin Timberlake, Who Really Got Robbed?
There are two artists that I believe were robbed during the 56th Grammy Awards last Sunday. The first is obvious. Justin Timberlake got robbed months ago, when the Grammy nominations were announced. Somehow, the top selling album of 2013 was left off the Album of the Year ballot. Timberlake was then taken down by Daft Punk for Best Pop Solo Performance and by Lorde for Best Pop Solo Performance. He didn't even capture Best Pop Vocal Album which went to Bruno Mars. He was left holding three Grammys. One for the "Suit & Tie" music video, another for Best R&B Song and a third for his work with Jay-Z on "Holy Grail." His album didn't receive a single award and it should be noted that he didn't perform after topping many top artist of 2013 charts. After hearing all of that evidence, it's likely you'd come to the same conclusion [...] Continue...
Lorde, Macklemore & Daft Punk dominate the 56th Grammy Awards
As Grammy telecasts go, the 56th Grammy Awards will be remembered. It may not be remembered for the artists that took home awards or for the many great collaboration performances but overall, it will be remembered as a great show. Here are the 5 can't miss moments from last nights show. Continue...
Results: The 56th Grammy Awards
The 56th Annual Grammy Awards will be held this Sunday at 8pm on CBS. We have picked 13 categories and have picked who we think Will Win and Should Win the awards. We've also included our Dark Horse pick, someone who could come out of left field to surprise audiences with a win. Without further a due, the winners will be: Winners are bolded below! Continue...
Grammy Preview: Record of the Year
Record of the Year is the top award of the night during the Grammy Awards. It is given to the best song of the year from a production and performance perspective. While the songwriting contributes to this, it is more about the way the song sounds. In past years, this award has been won by legends such as Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson and was most recently won younger artists like Gotye and Adele. The nominees for Record of the Year at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards are: Get Lucky by Daft Punk Radioactive by Imagine Dragons Royals by Lorde Locked Out of Heaven by Bruno Mars Blurred Lines by Robert Thicke feat. T.I. & Pharrell Williams Let's get a few things straight about this award. First, it is almost always given to an elite artist. Only a few times has a young, up and coming artist taken home the [...] Continue...
Grammy Preview: Album of the Year
This years Album of the Year nominees are an eclectic mix. There's a pop sensation, a few indie rappers, a singer/songwriter and an electronic group. Here are the nominees for Album of the Year: Random Access Memories by Daft Punk The Blessed Unrest by Sara Bareilles Good Kid, M.A.A.D City by Kendrick Lamar The Heist by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Red by Taylor Swift There are a few nominees that I'm going to write off straight away. Sara Bareilles' The Blessed Unrest is a fantastic album but I don't think it, or more importantly she, has the legs to take home this coveted award. Kendrick Lamar is in a similar position. He's had a fantastic year but just won't be able to take home the prize this year. The future remains bright for both of these artists who will fall short on Sunday. Now onto the three artists that will [...] Continue...
Grammy Preview: Song of the Year
Song of the Year is an interesting category. It's usually very hard to pick a winner because of the caliber of talent represented in nominees. How do you pick a single song when you have all-star nominees across the board. This years Song of the Year nominees are: Just Give Me A Reason written by Jeff Bhasker, Pink and Nate Ruess Locked Out of Heaven written by Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine and Bruno Mars Roar written by Lukasz Gottwald, Max Martin, Bonnie McKee, Katy Perry and Henry Walter Royals written by Joel Little and Ella Yelich O'Connor Same Love written by Ben Haggerty, Mary Lambert and Ryan Lewis When you take a quick glance at the nominees, three songs really stand out for writing. After all, Song of the Year is meant to honor the songwriting involved in a song and not strictly the songs sound. The standouts for me [...] Continue...
Grammy Preview: Best Pop Solo Performance
There's a reason that I'm breaking down this category and it's not a reason I'm happy to report on. The Best Pop Solo Performance Grammy is the highest award that Justin Timberlake is eligible to win this year and that is crazy. Still, these are the facts. Here are the nominees: Brave by Sara Bareilles When I Was Your Man by Bruno Mars Roar by Katy Perry Mirrors by Justin Timberlake This will be the 3rd time this award is given out. Previously, this category was split into three different categories, honoring men, women and instrumentalists differently. Since the restructuring, Katy Perry has been nominated all three years and this will be the first year that Adele does not win. She won in 2012 for "Someone Like You" and in 2013 for "Set Fire To The Rain." Justin Timberlake has to be the front-runner because of his snubbing in the [...] Continue...
Grammy Preview: Best New Artist
There is no hiding this fact. Year after year, this is my least favorite category because it does not honor "new artists" but instead artists that achieved a certain level of sales during the absurd Grammy calendar (which runs from October to September). Most artists win (or don't win) the award the year after it would make sense to have won it. This years crop is no different. The nominees are: James Blake Kendrick Lamar Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Kacey Musgraves Ed Sheeran As is usually the case, there are a few superstars and then a few underground candidates. If you were using the eyeball test, you'd have to say that Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have this in the bag. They launched their careers without the support of a record label, creating one of the best albums of the year (The Heist is nominated for Album of the Year) and [...] Continue...
Pharrell Rumored To Perform With Daft Punk, Stevie Wonder At Grammys

Opinion: Grammy's miss out on the would-be Album of the Year
The Grammy Award nominations were released yesterday in a television spectacular. While they always get some things right, this year they got a few things really, really wrong. Mainly in leaving Justin Timberlake and Miley Cyrus off the ballot in some major categories. As we progressed through 2013, it seemed obvious that Justin Timberlake would challenge for Album of the Year. After all, his much anticipated album The 20/20 Experience came out in March and it quickly shot up the charts, selling millions of copies and being acclaimed by fans and critics as his best work to date. He bridged the gap between soul, hip-hop and rock in one smooth, 70 minute album. Yet, we are now facing a Grammy Awards devoid of The 20/20 Experience in one of the nights top categories. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this. How could an album that Rolling Stone [...] Continue...

Calit2 at UC San Diego Teams with Darkstrand to Speed Innovation
San Diego and Chicago, April 14, 2009 -- Darkstrand, a pioneer in corporate high-speed connectivity bridging research and commercialization, announced today a collaborative agreement with the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) at the University of California, San Diego. Corporations connected to the Darkstrand Network can now drive real-time, high-performance computing (HPC) initiatives working with an elite team of UC San Diego researchers who are evolving new Internet technologies to advance industries within genomic medicine, new media, environmental science and other emerging fields.
Calit2 is a premier research institute built in 2000 by the State of California to accelerate innovation through research in telecommunications and information technology. The world-renowned organization works to bring together corporations, global experts and researchers at UC San Diego and its sister Calit2 division at UC Irvine in cross-industry teams for real project work in dozens of specialized labs. Companies located anywhere on Darkstrand's 15,000-mile route footprint will now have a direct line to the research expertise and computing resources made available at Calit2.
Companies on an advanced network such as Darkstrand's can accelerate technology discovery, product deployment and growth in new and emerging markets to maintain their competitive edge, and Calit2 has unparalleled expertise to help companies take maximum advantage of Darkstrand's network.
"Collaboration on the Darkstrand Network, with the research facilities and expertise available at Calit2, gives corporations the same capability to leverage new technology for discovery and development that has, until now, been available only within the research community. Even on projects of short duration, the effort can be intense and the results dramatic," said Thomas A. DeFanti, Senior Research Scientist at Calit2 and a global pioneer in visualization technology and cyberinfrastructure. "It's really about empowering research and industry by closing the technology gap that impedes innovation now - a vision we share with Darkstrand."
Darkstrand provides corporations across the globe with access to the National LambdaRail (NLR) - a high-speed optical network that is currently spread across 30 U.S. cities - to enable previously unknown levels of collaboration for data-intensive operations across geographies, and to connect corporations seamlessly with research institutions to leverage effectively their research capabilities and computing power. Productivity gains made possible by Darkstrand will change the end game for corporations looking to create high-value products and services that will gain the most significant competitive advantage in this global economy.
"HPC gives companies an edge, helping them to build and sustain their competitive advantage through innovative product design, production techniques, cost savings, improved time-to-market cycles and overall quality," said Michael Stein, CEO, Darkstrand. "Calit2 is on the cutting edge of technology and is exactly the right kind of partner to support Darkstrand's mission to encourage companies to expand their creative thinking and reach toward the advances that only an advanced connected network can support."
Calit2 is located on the UC San Diego campus, which also is home to the San Diego Supercomputer Center and a 150-fiber network linking diverse research laboratories at the university. Calit2's corporate partners include major cross-industry corporations such as Qualcomm, Boeing, DuPont, Intel, HP and Sony.

腾讯2分彩彩神8_HK violence condemned by overseas specialists
- 时间:
- 浏览:6
Foreign government officials and experts slammed the violence perpetrated by radical protesters in China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and voiced support for the legitimate actions taken by the HKSAR government and local police to restore order.
Mohammad Faisal, a spokesman for Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said Hong Kong affairs are completely China's internal affairs, and Pakistan understands the actions taken by the Chinese central government and the HKSAR government to uphold national sovereignty and maintain the city's prosperity and stability.
Helen Sham-Ho, a former Australian politician, said the current chaotic situation in Hong Kong is damaging its prosperity, adding that there is no doubt that the priority is to regain order and police have the right to uphold law and order.
Michael Borchmann, a law expert and former government official from Germany, said that the purpose of the ongoing protests in Hong Kong is to stir up chaos and turmoil in the city, and is not a response to the draft extradition bill, Nouvelles d'Europe cited him as saying.
Borchmann said it is true that freedom of speech and freedom of assembly are protected by law in Hong Kong, but this doesn't give people the right to use violence to impose on the freedoms of others. Criticism of China by some voices in the Western media was irrelevant, he added.
In reference to the recent attacks on Hong Kong police and the blockade of Hong Kong International Airport by some radical demonstrators, Abdulaziz Alshaabani, a Saudi Arabian expert on Chinese affairs, said such radical acts seriously undermined the rule of law, hindered economic development and harmed the interests of Hong Kong's people.
If the violence further escalates, Hong Kong's prosperity and stability will suffer a severe blow, undermining its well-deserved international image and status, the Saudi expert said.
Wilson Lee Flores, a columnist at The Philippine Star, said the continued chaos in Hong Kong, apparently created by anti-government protesters and encouraged by foreign influences, must be quickly stopped.
Strong measures should be taken as the chaos is not only bad for Hong Kong's economy and tourism, but also disadvantageous for the prosperity of the East Asian region as Hong Kong is an important financial and trade center, he said.
China's Mission to the European Union said on Wednesday that what is happening in Hong Kong is now devolving into extreme violence.
It said in an online statement that any attempt to lump together the rigorously lawful exercise of duties by Hong Kong police with the extreme and violent offenses by radicals is absolutely misleading and incorrect, and China is firmly opposed to such attempts.
China's diplomatic mission in Geneva also lashed out at the United Nations human rights office on Wednesday, accusing its spokesman of making a "wrongful statement" about protests in Hong Kong that "sends the wrong signal to the violent criminal offenders".
The Office of the Commissioner of the Foreign Ministry in the HKSAR said on Wednesday that the words and deeds of some lawmakers from the United States have shown them to be the "black hands" behind the violent radicals in Hong Kong, referring to a comment from US legislators including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Dylan Falecki-Vertical Furniture #45696
At Design Interviews
Interview with Dylan Falecki : Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Dylan Falecki : The primary goal for the future is to export the idea whether we make the furniture here in Australia or we license the concept abroad, the important thing is that good Australian design is being recognised around the world. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Dylan Falecki : The initial concept took just a few minutes to design and sketch on paper however getting it commercially ready for export has taken a number of months With various incarnations along the way. The concept is so simple that it almost felt too easy. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Dylan Falecki : I pursued an inspiration with this design. Looking at the limited space I had in my own dwelling and the fun my daughter has with jigsaw puzzles this design is solving a problem and satisfying a whim at the same time. This is what all good design should be based on. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Dylan Falecki : Our manufacturing is currently outsourced. Our manufacturer in Australia is capable of satisfying our domestic market as well as the export market. In the future as manufacturing viability fluctuates I hope to license these designs amongst others to abroad with the hope that no matter where my furniture is produced that its origins will be traced back to Australia and Australian design. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Dylan Falecki : I designed this furniture range for the mass market. This furniture is relatively inexpensive to produce and made of robust materials with no consideration for planned obsolescences. Dwellings are getting smaller so flexible space saving design solutions like vertical furniture will inevitably be embraced. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Dylan Falecki : Falecki furniture is for everyone. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Dylan Falecki : Tooless assembly and disassembly with uncompromised use. And it's Fun. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Dylan Falecki : Most unique aspect of my design is that the individual components of the furniture can be housed in a flat vertically mounted panel when not in use hence freeiing up valuable floor space. .

Kiddies can grin and bear it at a North East panto as every child who visits has the chance to get a free teddy.
A Beanie bear is given to one young audience member each night at the Newcastle Opera House's Cinderella.
The bears were donated by the North Eastern Co-op branch on Newgate Street, Newcastle, with goodie bags for children taking part in an on-stage singalong.
The bears are given out by comic Brendan Healy, who plays Buttons as well as directing the show.
He said: "The pantomime has been a smash hit and the tickets are going really well.
"I believe in the true tradition of pantomimes, the old fashioned type which they can all enjoy."
The pantomime also features TV presenters Pam Royle and Paddy MacDee.

Business website design must begin with a mobile friendly approach.
Google recently announced what could be a major change in how your small business web design will be impacted in search results. It is very important to determine whether or not your website development includes mobile friendly web design.
Here's what Google had to say on the official Google Webmaster blog:
"Starting April 21, we will be expanding our use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal. This change will affect mobile searches in all languages worldwide and will have a significant impact in our search results. Consequently, users will find it easier to get relevant, high quality search results that are optimized for their devices."
Mobile optimization is important to web design and development
In the next couple of years, the majority of local searches will be made on mobile devices. Mobile optimization has been important to major search engines like Google for a long time, but now they seem to be getting quite serious about it.
A Google mobile ad study conducted in 2011 indicated that:
- 61% of users are unlikely to return to a mobile site that they had trouble accessing from their phone
- 40% go to a competitor's website
This study went on to conclude – "A poor mobile web experience can negatively shape a consumer's opinion of your brand or your company altogether."
Introduction of mobile friendly labels in search results
Late last year Google introduced mobile friendly labels that appear as rich snippets in mobile search results for mobile-optimized pages. Is there a direct ranking benefit to these labels? Well, it will certainly be no surprise if Google's increased focus on mobile-friendly web design leads to improved search placement for those website owners who comply.
How does your website qualify for a mobile friendly label?
It is important to note that each page of your website must meet the eligibility requirements for a mobile friendly label. Google seems to be quite clear in what is expected of a mobile-friendly website:
- Minimal use of software that is not supported on mobile devices, like Flash
- Text that is large enough to be read without the need to zoom closer
- Content on the page adjusts to the size of the screen on which it is viewed
- Adequate spacing between links so they can be clicked correctly without an issue
Performing the mobile friendly test
Google developed the Mobile Friendly Test tool that highlights whether specific pages on websites are deemed mobile friendly. With this tool you can identify pages that are mobile-friendly and you are also able to highlight web pages that need further optimization.
As someone who is concerned about making a lasting first impression through your web design, you should consider mobile optimization a ranking factor by major search engines. It is important to ensure that you have a website that serves all internet users equally. So, go ahead and test your site, then get in touch and I will help you make your web real estate more user friendly.

"I kept getting fliers in the mail saying that I had the technology, so I just called Comcast," he said. The service was not cheap. Bird said he spent about $700 setting up Comcast's Xfinity home product at his beach house for cameras and sensors, as well as other features that allow him to control the thermostat and lights when he is away. Bird pays about $49 a month for the security service as part of a $209 bill that includes cable TV, phone and Internet. Using his smartphone, he is now able to check the four cameras on the premises and is emailed photos of whoever enters the house. TAKING ON THE INCUMBENTS Comcast, the largest U.S. cable operator with 22 million video subscribers, entered the security market in 2010 and has not revealed subscriber numbers.

Facebook's Zuckerberg Buys Up Four Properties Near His Home
According to property records, Zuckerberg purchased three homes behind him, and the one next door. These are no small potatoes: The median home value in Palo Alto is $1,788,100, up 21.1 percent year-over-year. And, there arent many homes in that area. At this writing, only 74 homes are on the market in Palo Alto. In Zuckerbergs neighborhood of Crescent Park, the median home value is even higher, $3,062,600, up 23.7 percent year-over-year. However, Zuckerberg spent far over the value of many of his neighbors residences in order to win the deals that would put him in control.

This is a great little set that I wrote about when I first started blogging.
Recently I got to use the Vander 11 Pieces Professional Bamboo Handle, Premium Synthetic Kabuki, Foundation Blending Blush, Eye, Face, Brush Kit, with carry bag.
These are quite a bit different from others, as you can see in my photos. You have the long brushes for the eye area, and lips. The bamboo handles of these are very slim. Then you have the face makeup brushes, where some have long handles, and then the cute stubby ones. The shorter ones are amazing, and so easy to handle.
The 'Brushes are made of superior Fiber. Made by hand with bamboo handles and the softest synthetic bristles'. I can vouch for the softness. They are like feathers going over the cheeks of my face. The eye, and lip ones are still soft, but a little firmer.
They blend foundation really well. I love that I can use a lipstick, with a…

I am a thirty something year old male with an endomorphic disposition who has dabbled with sports since early childhood but have never performed at any serious level. Nonetheless I enjoy to challenge my mind and body.
I have cycled from John O'Groats to Lands End in just over one week, completed the Marmotte cyclosportive three times (each time in around 10 hours), cycled 4,300 kilometres from Buenos Aires to Cusco in 2 months and cycled all over the Swiss Alps. My current PB for a marathon (I have only ever done one marathon so far) is 3 hours 29 minutes and 51 seconds and for the half marathon it is 1 hour 35 minutes, which is not too bad as I certainly dont consider myself a runner by nature. My best time for a 25 mile cycling time trial is 1 hour and 2 minutes. At some point I would like to get my 25 mile time trial time under 1 hour and my half marathon time under 1 hour 25, but they are not my main targets for now.
Having earlier this year completed the 27th Marathon des Sables, I am currently focussed on training for the Pisa marathon in December, and would like to complete it in under 3 hours if possible.
My list of past and current challenges since the creation of this blog:
1) First ever marathon - Status: done (completed Zurich marathon on April 17th, 2011 in 3 hours 29 minutes and 51 seconds)
2) Marmotte cyclosportive for the 3rd time - over 5000m of vertical climbing in one day - Status: done (completed on 2nd July, 2011 in an end to end time (including Glandon descent) of 10 hours 1 minute and 20 seconds)
3) Climb Kilimanjaro - Status: done (climbed via Lemosho route from 9th to 15th September, 2011)
4) Cycling from Buenos Aires to Cusco over the Andes with Tour d'Afrique, covering over 5,000km - Status: done (although distance was slightly shorter than 5,000km due to 3.5 sick days on truck and strikes in Bolivia)
5) Marathon des Sables 2012 - Status: done (553rd out of 795 finishers and 59 abandons)
6) Pisa marathon - 16th December 2012

ATLANTA – Felicia Webster has not seen her son in a week and she drove 2 1/2 hours to Atlanta to beg police to help her find him.
"I don't have a clue what happened to my son. It's like he just vanished in thin air," she said.
Webster, Kendrick Stokes' mother, traveled the 160 miles to Atlanta from Montgomery, Ala., to plead with Atlanta Police Department to locate her son and his cousin—both rappers out of Atlanta.
It's been a week since she's heard her 30-year-old son's voice--an oddity since they talked and read Bible scripture every day.
"I talk with him every day. Every day. We're a family that prays together. When he didn't call that Monday; I knew something was not right."
She and her family have continued to search for him and seek answers, even crossing state lines.
"I hate when night comes, because I know I can't search for him. I stay awake during the night because I'm just hoping he'll walk through that door--or he'll call and say, "'Mama, I'm here,'" or "'Mom, come get me. I'm somewhere.' Because, normally, this is not like my son."
An Atlanta and Montgomery music promoter and rapper known as Skooly Wit Da Tooly, he went missing Nov. 5 while he was in Montgomery with his cousin, Edward Reeves, 29, known as Atlanta rapper, Bambino Gold.
They were in their hometown to host a party at Sky Bar, located on Debby Drive on Saturday, Nov. 4, Webster said. They were reported missing to the Montgomery Police Department three days later.
More than a week later, on Nov. 14, she went to the APD and asked them to share in her "grave concern for his safety and well-being."
"Our mind is constantly on him at all times. So, we're asking anybody that knows him or knows anything, to please come forth," Webster said. "My heart is so broken. It is so broken."
Webster penned the following letter to Atlanta Police Department:
Kendrick Stokes has been missing for several days. We have not gotten a phone call, text or email from him. No person as a family member, friend or associate has received any contact from him. We have grave concern for his safety, well-being and where he is at this present time.
The law enforcement authorities in Montgomery, Alabama have concentrated their efforts in this matter and we as a family are interested in expanding the support to locate our family member.We request a meeting with the department with all deliberate speed to support us in resolving our concern. Please be in communication with Mr. Bartell and assist us with this urgent and critical matter for our family.
We the family do hereby request a partnership with the Atlanta Police Department in expanding the efforts to find Kendrick Stokes.
According to her, the APD told her they were already in contact with the Montgomery Police Department to offer support and any information they can lend. However, the Montgomery Police Department has the authority over the case, but APD will be a supportive law enforcement agency to them.
Aside from his album, Webster said her son is also a music promoter.
Stokes began promoting, on a smaller scale, when he was 12 years old—that grew when he was in junior high and high school in Alabama.
The father of three himself, moved to Atlanta about five years ago to further his career, along with his cousin, Reeves.
Webster described Reeves, as "a very nice young fellow; he always [keeps] a smile on his face."
And he had reason to smile.
Reeves has survived several shoot outs and drive-by shootings, he said. But nothing would compare to getting shot earlier this year.
On Sept. 26, he published a YouTube video, documented by DJ Smallz Eyes 2, to discuss his survival.
A scar on his left chin indicates where he was shot while he was inside his car in a parking garage.
After the bullet slid through the windshield, it penetrated his face, busting his jaw. He remembered at least 30 shots fired toward him.
It went into my jaw, through the side of my neck and into my shoulder," he said in the YouTube video. "I've been shot before, but all that has been weak."
The bullet remains in his shoulder.
"I'm built to last. That's the one thing I can say," he said in the video. "Everybody knows I'm a tough person… anything that is thrown at me, I can overcome—so, I was ready for whatever."
And this, he said, was his second chance at life.
"Every step I take is more thought out… I'm more cautious on what I'm doing. I look at it like my second chance."
He put the shooting in his latest music.
"I rap about the life that I have lived. I'm really making music to make people happy; that's my whole goal."
Words from Reeves' YouTube video echo the same hope Stokes' family clings to.
"As long as you've got your head, keep your head up, keep the faith and keep going," Bambino said in the YouTube video with DJ Smallz Eyes 2 to anyone falling on hard times.
On Sunday, Nov. 5, Reeves and Stokes stopped by Stokes's brother's house and attended the Alabama State Fair. That was the last time anyone has seen them.
Reeves, who has several tattoos scrolled across both arms, including his right forearm where "BAMBINO" is written in black ink, was last seen in a 2016 white Honda CRV with Georgia tags, with Stokes in tow.
The pair were officially reported missing to Montgomery Police on Tuesday, Nov. 7, after the Stokes family didn't hear from them on Monday, Nov. 6.
The last time Webster spoke with Kendrick was on the Saturday before he went missing. They were planning their annual Thanksgiving Day parade in Montgomery—a tradition they've been doing together for the last seven years. It was something she and her son always looked forward to doing each year.
She vividly remembers the last thing he said to her.
"He said, 'Mama, stop worrying. We're going to have it all together like we normally have it together.' He said, 'You just be patient and calm. You're always uptight and you're always trying to make sure everything is alright.'"
They hung up with an "I love you."
"Just the thought of... my son... I haven't talked with him in days. It is... I don't know how I can make it through this without my son," she said. "The not knowing where he's at, it's the worst thing in the world for a parent to have to endure. And I'm not enduring right now. Not at all. But I'm holding on to all my faith that I have."
She made a final plea to anyone who might know anything about where her son and his cousin may be.
"If anyone has seen anything or heard anything… I ask from my heart and from my family heart, that you please, please, please, please give us some information concerning him. I never thought that I would be sitting here in the chair with this type of problem, with this situation."
"I will not let go of my baby, and I will not stop searching for him."
If you have any information, call police or Crime Stoppers at 215-STOP.

A former child in conflict with the law (CICL) visited the DSWD 7 Regional Rehabilitation Center for Youth (RRCY) in Argao, Cebu.
Vic (not his real name), 26, a resident of Cebu City, now works as a seaman and currently taking steps to become a chef of a cruise ship.
His recent visit in RRCY has inspired the staff and the CICL residents who welcomed him through a short program where he shared his testimony.
In his testimony, he encouraged the CICLs to focus on their rehabilitation, to treat each other as family, and to continue learning while they are at the center.
"Good education is like a treasure, we must hunt to find the pot of gold," said Vic as he emphasized the value of education and hard work.
As a former CICL, Vic spent four years of his youth as a gang member. It was only cut short when he was accused of committing a crime.
According to him, his first week at the RRCY was so lonely and he kept crying.
He spent four years in RRCY. While undergoing rehabilitation at the center, he also helped himself recover through music.
He learned to play musical instruments like guitar and drums while at the center and became the RRCY band's guitarist and soloist for their performances.
He said the motivation and opportunity given to him by the government through the RRCY, inspired him to continue his education.
His perseverance and determination has paid off. Now, he is reaping the fruits of his labor.
He now owns a house, a car, and a motorcycle.
Vic's story was featured in the book "A Journey with Children: Living and Working on the Streets in the Philippines" published by the United National Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
In that book, he was quoted saying, "Life is unpredictable when you are part of a gang. It felt cool, but I was wrong."
He ended his visit in the RRCY with a song. To him, music speaks louder than words and he will continue using it to reach out to the CICLs. ###

I must have run into a dozen cycling computer mounts at Interbike last Fall. None of them as cool as these from Morsa Designs. All of their mounts are designed to attach to a 31.8mm road or mountain handlebar. A single arm can hold up to two adapters, giving you the option to choose one of their pre-made designs or configure your own. The fully-adjustable arm allows you to slide your devices back and forth, rotating them into your perfect position. Every position keeps your device in front, centered on your bike. They are designed, engineered and manufactured in the USA from carbon composite nylon.
The list of compatible devices is long.

Hello All,
Hope you're all well!
I've been suffering from eczema now for about three years altogether (since I was 19 years old). I live in the UK. I find that using Aveeno Cream on my face (a real problem area for me) is a great moisturizer for day to day use (the average working day). I've tried many other creams on my face but I find a lot make my skin to greasy which is not ideal on the face. The problem is I'm very fair skinned meaning I can get sunburned very easily in the summer months and the Aveeno cream doesn't contain SPF. I'm finding this a real problem when it comes to getting too and from work everyday as I need something to keep my skin moisturized over the working day but also protect my skin from the sun during my commute.
I was wondering if anyone has any suggestion of any facial moisturizers that are great for treating eczema and protecting skin from the sun? Do any of you have any tips or techniques that you use to combat this issue? If any of you use a combination of a moisturizer and sunscreen that works a treat I'd love to hear that too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,

Embedded Interpretation pt. II
I posted on the Presidio class blog about how to construct your own memory map/interpretation. It works on the One Laptop Per Child laptops as well!
Here's the link:
PS: If anyone can help me debug Mbedr, it would be much appreciated.
Presidio Memory Maps
For the next three weeks I'm helping to teach a class at the Presidio of San Francisco on digital documentation, cultural heritage, and interpretive trails. It's an intensive course, 8+ hour days for the undergraduates and more like 12-13 hour days for me. For the first day, I had the students create memory maps using flickr and google maps to teach them how to use the tools, but also to teach them about free-associative narratives as a part of placemaking. It worked well as an exercise, and it was interesting to see the different scales that the students used for their own maps. I made one a couple of years ago ago about living in New Orleans, but I felt like I wanted to update it, so I made another one from Austin, linked above.
I'm also updating the official project blog, Remixing El Presidio, here:
Good fun, but I'm ready to have my hands in the dirt again!
Pervasive Play at the San Francisco Presidio
As I mentioned in my SAA paper back in 2007, ubiquitous computing has great potential for interpretation and outreach in archaeology. I'm very inspired by Jane McGonigal's PhD on ubiquitous computing and pervasive play and have decided to test the viability of the format for education. It's always hard to make educational games fun, but when they work, it's incredible! Does anyone else fondly remember Oregon Trail?
So, I've attached my brief web description for the project. I'd love to get feedback, if you have any to offer!
Pervasive Gaming, Education, and Cultural Heritage: Emplaced Interpretive Games at the Presidio of San Francisco
In a large, urban, technologically advanced metropolis like the Bay Area, how do people recognize and understand the cultural heritage they encounter in their everyday lives? This working group explores the connections between tourism, education, archaeology and technology in the interpretation of place. With the ultimate goal of developing a pervasive game—a location-aware, augmented-reality public experience—set in the Presidio of San Francisco with its over 300 years of history, archaeologists, new media specialists, and other academics and heritage professionals will come together to bridge the present to the past. Using social media platforms and ubiquitous computing, we will work to bring history away from the desktop, out of books, and into the world, adding layers of meaning to the landscape. This project encourages an active engagement in the curation and the creation of local history, and a case study for embedded interpretation of place. Working toward giving the Bay Area community a glimpse into the region's history, this group will foster a local presence for academic and public cooperation, but will also provide access to the project through Flickr, Facebook, and a number of other social networking technologies to serve as a model for experimentation and implementation at other cultural heritage sites. With the successful implementation of an educational game at the Presidio, we move toward being able to embed archaeological and historical interpretation in the landscape, enhancing the modern day experience of place.
Climbing Trees
So we finally had a full day of archaeological outreach at the Presidio, where we were able to work through our full program with a group of kids. At times I've been pretty tired of outreach, and wanting to get back to archaeology proper, but being able to interact with these kids was actually pretty amazing. They were a class from Hunter's Point, which is a notoriously bad part of San Francisco and they were all scrappy as hell, even at the 4th grade level.
During the first part of the day, we take them on a small hike on one of the trails through the Presidio. We try to get them to imagine what it was like without all of the trees, which are only there because the US military planted them. It's hard to do, to say the least, because they're huge, imposing eucalyptus trees and their leaves and seed pods cover the ground. There's also some Monterey pine and cyprus mixed in, which are closer, but still not quite right.
One of the kids noticed that the National Park Service has been trimming the lower branches of the trees and asked me why the trees "were all pointy like that". I told him that they had been trimmed, but it was kinda nice, because they leave about two feet, which makes the trees easy to climb. I got a blank stare. I had to ask, "um, have you ever climbed a tree?" Only one out of eight had, and only once. My heart broke, just a little bit.
All-in-all, it was a good day, and we were able to convey some information about the Ohlone and the Spanish colonists at the Presidio, but I think the sunshine, big trees, and getting dirty (we made mudbricks, of course!) were probably the most valuable parts. I told them that the Presidio is a national park, that they owned it and could come back at any time. And while I couldn't officially condone it, I told them that the trees were perfect for climbing.
Presidio Comics
Emplaced vs. Virtual Interpretation
Oof, gotta take a break from negotiating the "visual turn" in text. Sometimes I wish I could just make a film to show at my orals this spring. Anyway, I was chatting with a friend about the recent virtual worlds conference in San Francisco about the world of Second Life and other recreated experiences and both of us expressed some scepticism about the utility of the concept. Admittedly, I am more interested in emplaced interpretation–giving people the tools to better understand the place that they currently inhabit, rather than a virtualized interpretation of a different place, but there is a lot of overlap between the two concepts in new media.
To illustrate, Vassar (a college I actually almost went to, had I not nearly failed out of high school out of boredom and distaste) has brought the Sistine Chapel to Second Life:
It's apparently a proof of concept by Steve Taylor for experiencing art and architecture virtually. Neat idea, especially in that you can fly, and aren't hurried through by crowds and guards. And, apparently, you can sit next to some guy with black wings. I'm curious to see if there is any interpretation, like text boxes explaining the art or the building material.
Lower tech, and closer to home (physically not virtually, I guess!) is the recent Helena Keeffe project which involves drawings of actual San Francisco Muni drivers, along with their stories AND their interpretations of their own routes. While I am interested in the Second Life project, these art installations are exciting and inspirational. First, for the non-Bay Area readers, riding the Muni (bus/train system in SF) can be a full-contact sport, and I've always thought the drivers must have near-heroic capacities for putting up with craziness and general mayhem.
Second, Helena Keeffe puts a face on these drivers and brings their interpretations of the route they see every day to the thousands of people who ride public transportation every day, not just to a select few who go to a gallery (in real life or online). I love that there are maps, annotated by the driver, along with drawings of different incidents which stand out in their minds.
As an archaeologist, I'd love to harness this interaction with place. As I was riding home from the Pamuk lecture with Burcu and a couple I had just met, Pamuk's commentary on buildings came up, and the woman (I'm criminally horrible with names) mentioned that she's now looking at the buildings in a different light, wondering about their histories, wondering who lives/lived there. Yes.
Back to work!

It's obvious that the physical traits in your appearance come from your family- that the color of your hair, your eyes, whether you have freckles or a crooked nose- these are all things you can immediately tie to your parents and such. How many times have you heard "You've got your grandfather's chin" or "Aunt Charlene had the brightest red hair- just like you do?" I mean, our bodies had to come from somewhere, right? What many fail to realize is that what we see is not the only thing we get from our family.
It's a long known fact that most health related issues are passed down genetically- from whether or not you need glasses to your cholesterol levels, whether you suffer from depression to what type of arthritis you have as well as many cancers. This fact makes a comprehensive medical history an important tool to help you better understand what your risks are and how to prevent things from actualizing where possible. By recognizing what diseases you're at risk for you can make informed decisions about prevention and screening.
A comprehensive medical history can help with:
- Determining your risk for certain diseases
- Calculating your risk of passing certain conditions to your children
- Diagnosing a medical condition
- Determining which preventative measures would help you best to lower your risk of a specific disease
- Determining which tests are most appropriate
- Identifying and notifying other members of your family who are at risk of developing certain diseases
Some studies have shown that over 40% of the population is at risk for a common disease like heart disease, cancer or diabetes – and that number is rising. Other diseases immediately linked to genetics include but are certainly not limited to:
- Cardiovascular disease (hypertension, stroke, clotting, PAD, etc)
- Osteoporosis and Arthritis
- Obesity
- Reproductive issues
- Mental Illness including Depression, Schizophrenia, Addiction
Most of the material I've read on the subject suggests gathering data from at least 3 generations since it is they who are most likely to influence or reflect your own genetic build. My opinion is that you cannot ever have too much information in this area, since things sometimes skip a few generations then reappear; but, 3 generations is a great place to start. This includes your parents, grandparents and great grandparents as well as all of their children and perhaps even your own children. The information you are looking for ranges from the obvious (who died and what was the cause) to the not so. Find out what conditions your family members have/had, when they were first diagnosed, their treatment, what surgeries were had, and pay attention to possible environmental contributors (for example, did they work in asbestos or eat fatty foods all the time, smoke, exercise, etc). If they died of a cancer, find out specifically what kind and not just where it metastasized.
Any and all data you can gather will be useful in creating a complete family medical history, but (again, according to my various readings) the most important items to document seem to be:
- Cancer
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Asthma and Allergies
- Mental illness and Alcoholism or other addictions
- High blood pressure / Low blood pressure
- Stroke and other Cardiovascular Disorders such as Aneurism
- Kidney disease or other Organ based diseases such as with the liver
- Birth defects and/ or Learning disabilities
- Country of origin (some diseases seem to have roots in region and this can be useful)
Documenting the family medical history can be recorded any number of ways, but the most efficient seems to be using standardized symbols (with a legend) in a pedigree format (like a medical family tree). For example, gender can be noted with shape and deaths can be noted with a strikethrough while cancer can be noted with a C. (Doctors don't need to know names, but you may find it impersonal to use symbols for family members- do what's right for you). The simplest and most logical system will be the easiest to relay- and you can probably find the standard medical notations online or by asking your doctor.
If your family is deceased or otherwise unable to help you it will probably take some real detective work on your part to learn more about your medical past. Medical records would be the obvious first choice, but if you can't access those, there are some other avenues to try: death certificates, autopsy reports, obituaries, newspaper archives, old family letters, even old photos can give clues. A good springboard for resources to learn more on the topic is through your doctor or online with the CDC: http://www.cdc.gov/genomics/famhistory/famhist.htm
If this all proves a bust, you can always try having your genes mapped (probably not cheap though) – certain diseases or inclination toward certain diseases are right there in your DNA- and while the human genome is far from completely mapped, the known markers might help to tell your story when nothing else will…this is also a decent idea for the adopted, since that information is usually sealed by the courts or otherwise unavailable (which is unfortunate, since it's so important!) www.genome.gov
If nothing else seems to work, be sure to follow the standard screening procedures and timeframes and consult your doctor regularly so that relationship is there and things have a better chance of being recognized before they get out of hand.
And DON'T FORGET! Keeping a detailed record of your own medical history (as well as your children and other relevant family members) will only serve to aid those generations to come.

Finland / Helsinki Based Artist Vesa Kivinen Created a New Art Form
Vesa Kivinen invented the art form "Artevo." It's based on body painting, photography and thoughtful post-production. Photoshop is only used for minor color correction. Otherwise, the photos are natural compositions using the female form to create tantalizing abstract works. It's beautiful and incredibly creative. Take a look and try to find the models.
Words from the Artist
When I was 6-years old a neighbor's Husky dog took my whole head in its mouth nearly taking my right eye. It was revenge for abandoning it earlier to continue exploring my new living area further while the dog was chained on its yard. This I did unconsciously and for the longest time I thought the dog was just crazy. Before realizing what I had done and accepting responsibility for it the lesson in it seemed to be only to fear big wolf-like dogs….It was about love. It was about my love to wonder and explore and the dog needing attention as it was usually there alone. It was not my first taste of paradox and most certainly not the last.
But first the creative life…
Mine has been a "feverish search and by demons-be-driven-to-relative-peace" -journey through music, writing, directing, shooting, photography and most importantly, my studies outside the world of art, that led me to this seemingly unlikely position of painting on nude women's bodies. I could not find my so called dream "job" so I needed to create it. Life needed to be more than job & leisure. This also led me to applying a new pricing method for printed art and being active in social causes. I've never felt like a part of any other group or tribe but the human tribe. All others seemed a limitation and I've always rejected unnatural limitation and control based thinking. How ever I have to be a part of it in order to make a living with watermarks etc. Fortunately there have been many helpful teachers along my way to discover my path. They have given me so much so I am eager to promote their work. People like Richard Bandler, David DeAngelo, Ken Wilber, Robert Anton Wilson, Eckhart Tolle. Gabor Mate, Bruce Lipton, Terence McKenna, Jacque Fresco, Joseph Campbell etc. Picasso said that great artist steal and others copy. I want to try something different. An artistic mash up of a sort. Pay tribute to those who inspire and create something visually that has not been seen before while promoting great stuff.
From 1999-2008 my priority was to become a feature film director but the realities of running a start up production company in Helsinki were taking me into a direction which horrified me. After working myself to a burn out in a TV series about training dogs I needed a complete shift in gear. My episodes of the corruption behind dog exhibitions were destroyed and never aired. Anyone wanting to know more find a BBC documentary called "Pedigree Dogs Exposed". After this I held my first experimental photography exhibition in late 2008 and then it all came together. The Pink Floyd poster of poster body-painted women (unconscious influence since a kid), all that I had learned along my studies and having met and collaborated with a great artist called Joselito Sabogal; I realized that if I could make Brian Eno's music into images there would be something new to show the world. Layer and layers of photography of body-painted women and the details captured during sessions blended into a single image while telling a story.
Our current world to those, who look into it, is a cross between a superb mystery and a deliberate mess. I'll keep wandering, searching & discovering hopefully leaving, on my part, this place better off than what it was like before coming here. All this while remembering the great Bill Hick's words: "Its just a ride."
I'm now preparing for my first international star collaboration, which is superbly exciting. It will also be my first opportunity to communicate to a wider international audience.

I was recently (and briefly) introduced to James Marcia's theory of identity achievement which describes the formation of identity during adolescence. According to Marcia, during adolescence (or in other times of identity crisis) we have the chance to choose between different occupations and beliefs. It is a time to explore and eventually commit to an identity. The result of this process is one of four identity states.
- Foreclosure – results when a commitment is made without real exploration. This could be by defaulting to the easiest choice or through reactionary rebellion.
- Identity diffusion – unwilling to explore or commit, one becomes socially withdrawn and un-engaged.
- Moratorium – this is identity limbo. Often, a transitory state.
- Identity achievement – having undergone a crisis, explored options and made a commitment one's identity is now solidly owned and defined.
People often go through moratorium – achievement cycles a few times in life. Often prompted by changing phases of life or by external circumstances. At this point there is the risk of falling back to a previously held position or remaining stuck in one that no longer serves. Spiritual practice is another such cause, I believe, that can bring about an identity crisis leading to a temporary state of moratorium. It is easy at such a time to fall back into a state of foreclosure (for example, clinging to a 'spiritual' identity) or even diffusion.
It seems quite clear to me that Identity Achievement is required for spiritual practice to be a healthy and effective process. How identity status is affected by spiritual practice, however, is another question. Is identity achievement different in one who has seen through the veil? How? Do we need a fifth identity state for that?
