Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, dance company member, New York, NY
Under the direction of Sharon Gersten Luckman, executive director, and Robert Battle, artistic
director, and their predecessors, the Alvin Ailey Foundation has grown to umbrella numerous entities including the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Ailey II, the Ailey School, Ailey Arts In Education and Community Programs, and the Ailey Extension. The organization continues striving to further Alvin Ailey's innovative work through an extended cultural community.
1. Describe your organization's mission and its work in 3 adjectives. Please explain the adjectives you selected.
Accessible: In addition to presenting dance on the concert stage, and in accordance with Ailey's dictum "dance is for everybody," the Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation, Inc. offers many programs that further Ailey's long-standing commitment to building an extended cultural community, including – Ailey II, The Ailey School, The Ailey Extension and Arts in Education and Community programs.
Regarded as one of the world's premiere modern dance companies, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is a recipient of the National Medal of Arts and is recognized by a U.S. Congressional resolution as a vital American "Cultural Ambassador to the World." The Ailey Company has gone on to perform for an estimated 23 million people at theaters in 48 states and 71 countries on six continents -- as well as millions more through television broadcasts.
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater grew from a now-fabled performance in March 1958 at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. Led by Alvin Ailey and a group of young African-American modern dancers, that performance forever changed the perception of American dance. Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater continues to inspire and unite people of all backgrounds around the globe.
2. What inspires the work of your organization and why?
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is inspired by the vision of our Founder Alvin Ailey and our new Artistic Director Robert Battle. Ailey was a pioneer in using the American modern dance tradition and the African-American cultural experience to inspire all in a universal celebration of the human spirit. Artistic Director Robert Battle continues to extend the Ailey legacy into the future with premieres and new productions that expand his vision for the company, and by adding dynamic choreographic voices to the repertory that challenge the Company's extraordinary artists in new ways, inspires all who work in the organization.
3. What accomplishment from the past year is your organization most proud of and eager to share with Dance/USA's membership and the field at large?
Our most recent season marked a historic moment in Ailey history as Battle took the helm as the new Artistic Director, only the third artistic director in the Company's 53-year history, following the illustrious Judith Jamison and Founder, Alvin Ailey, himself. In his first season, Battle incorporated new and exciting works into the Company repertory including Rennie Harris' Home, which illustrates the fight of HIV through the lens of hip hop, and historic works that have never been performed by the Company before, like Paul Taylor's Arden Court. Battle also implemented the New Directions Choreography Lab. Assisting choreographers in developing their work; the program grants resident fellowships to four emerging and mid-career artists each year, offering a stipend, the use of dancers from The Ailey School, creative mentorships, and rehearsal time at The Joan Weill Center for Dance. Unlike other programs that require the production and presentation of a final performance or commission, Ailey's New Directions Choreography Lab has allowed choreographers to focus solely on the process of choreography as a creative experience, free from all restricting expectations or deadlines.
4. Where do you see dance in the future and how does your organization fit within that vision?
Dance has become a cultural sensation, stretching beyond the concert stage and now reaching millions of households through popular dance television shows. Ailey has always been at the forefront of the movement to make dance accessible to all and was the first concert dance company to appear as guest artists on So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing with the Stars. The organization continues to fulfill Ailey's life-long commitment of bringing dance to everyone through The Ailey School; Ailey Arts In Education & Community Programs which brings dance into the classrooms, communities, and lives of people of all ages through programs like the Ailey Camp and Revelations Residencies; and The Ailey Extension, a public dance and fitness program that offers "real classes for real people" in various techniques and levels.
5. As an organization, what do you hope your dance legacy to be?
Alvin Ailey believed that "dance came from the people and should always be delivered back to the people." Through the many facets of the Ailey organization and the remarkable artistry of 30 extraordinary dancers, Ailey will inspire, enlighten, and educate people around the world. As the Ailey legacy flourishes, the organization will continue to honor the past, celebrate the present, and fearlessly reach into the future – inspiring dancers of all ages, levels, and walks of life along the way!

Thus, the abject, Jimmy-Swaggart-esque apology written by Josh Duggar's lawyers, before yet another lawyer edited the thing. Red-pencilled are the remarks that might be considered "litigious". In other words, too close to the truth.
Needless to say, Josh's little escapades led to TLC cancelling (after long and ratings-conscious deliberation) the wildly-popular paean to assembly-line babymaking in the Fundamentalist realm, 19 Kids and Counting.
So what will Josh do now? I think he ought to drag his sorry ass to jail for some serious time, but that won't happen. He'll twist things around so that if WE don't forgive him, there will be something wrong with us. We'll be choosing to hold bitterness in our hearts rather than surrender the whole icky mess to the Lord God Almighty and his sidekick, J. Christ.
But it's more likely TLC will choose to build another reality show around Josh. Shall we call it 19 Sins and Counting?

How Far Is Too Far?
Don't worry, I'm not getting immoral. I'm just getting political. Why I'm getting political would be a good question to ask…of myself. Most of the time when I do, I'm not entirely sure I want to be, and yet I've no idea how not to be. That last point is one of the reasons I'm… Continue reading How Far Is Too Far?

The Grizzly Labs Launches Pyfl Business Recommendation App
Pyfl was designed to prevent users from reading 'untrustworthy' business reviews by ensuring users only see recommendations from their friends or other users they choose to follow.
The Grizzly Labs has announced the release of Pyfl (Places Your Friends Like), its venue recommendation app on iOS and Android. Pyfl allows users to create a map of their favorite businesses and attractions, and add comments to these locations explaining why they like them. As a social network, users can follow others to view their map and recommendations.
Pyfl was designed to prevent users from reading 'untrustworthy' reviews by allowing them to only see recommendations from their friends or other users they choose to follow.
Users can add as many businesses and attractions to their map as they'd like by searching for nearby locations or those in different cities. Business listings include each venue's phone number, address, website and more, where available.
Users can edit their comments or remove locations from their map if their opinions change, and can also create lists to organize their locations. For instance, users could create a list for the best pizza places they've visited in New York City.
In a statement, Bruno Virlet, co-founder of The Grizzly Labs, commented:
I prefer a three-star restaurant recommended by a good friend than a five-star restaurant recommended by random people. I trust friends' recommendations much more because I know their tastes, the type of places they appreciate and the atmospheres they typically like. And you can talk about it afterwards—it's very personal!
Pyfl is available to download for free on the iTunes App Store and Google Play.

Vehicle Comparisons:
2016 Nissan Murano vs 2016 Nissan Rogue
When it comes to crossover vehicles, Nissan is a name that everyone recognizes. The 2016 Nissan Rogue and Nissan Murano both integrate amazing technology, futuristic design and enormous cargo space into their builds. Drivers will also appreciate special features such as Nissan Connect and Safety Shield technology. If you are a resident of the Lansdale, Doylestown and Philadelphia, PA areas, stop by Montgomeryville Nissan to test drive one of our Murano or Rogue vehicles today.
2016 Nissan Murano
The 2016 Nissan Murano was designed with aerodynamics in mind. The floating roofline, jet-inspired taillights and LED headlamps all combine to give the Murano the feeling of a new aerospace craft.
The Murano engine mimics the aerospace theme with its turbo speed. The 3.5L V6 engine churns out 260 horsepower. You also have the option of all-wheel or four-wheel drive. Nissan has created a four-cylinder electric powered version of this engine with Ecoboost for environmentally conscious drivers.
Murano Safety Technology
The around view monitor system is comprised of four different cameras that provide 360-degree coverage of the vehicle. Drivers can use the dual screen interior monitor to view surrounding traffic and road conditions. As part of your instrument panel, the drive assist display provides you with directions and tire pressure readings, as well as fuel and safety alerts. The 7-inch monitor is high resolution so it's easy to read in the nighttime.
2016 Nissan Rogue
2016 is a great year for Nissan crossovers and the all-new Rogue is no exception. Known as the compact and rugged sibling of the Murano, it is a vehicle with its own distinct look and style.
The Nissan Rogue's exterior features include structured "muscular" arches, wraparound taillights, LED daytime running and headlights, side mirror turn signals and 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels.
The interior of the vehicle is outfitted in NissanConnect technology that provides premium infotainment. Passengers can integrate their smartphones with the system to listen to music, text and check local weather alerts. The interior design of the Rogue has heated front seats, Nissan Intelligent Key and push button ignition and soft-touch material on the panels.
EZ-Flex Seating in the Nissan Rogue
The Rogue has three rows of seats that provides seating for up to seven passengers. Both the second and third rows are made with EZ-Flex technology which makes them foldable. EZ-Flex also makes entering and leaving the rear of the vehicle a breeze. Simply lift the lever to tilt the row and slide the seats forward for entrance and exit. Passengers will also appreciate the power liftgate which provides access to 70 cubic feet of cargo space. The cargo area is also very versatile. The Divide-n-Hide cargo system allows you to stow away valuables in a secret cargo compartment. It also features a special shelf and lower deck that can be configured into 18 different styles.
Test Drive the Nissan Rogue or Nissan Murano at Montgomeryville Nissan
At Montgomeryville Nissan, we hold a number of Nissan Rogue and Nissan Murano vehicles in stock. We can help residents in the Lansdale, Doylestown and Philadelphia areas finance a brand new 2016 Nissan Rogue or Murano. Our friendly staff will be on hand to answer all of your questions about the crossover vehicles, and help you set up a test drive today! Contact us online for more information. We look forward to seeing you!

Poetry and Prose from the Center for Writers

by DUSTIN KEYS
She reads a book she found.
Books are free when found.
The book says strings
are everything, but she thinks,
'Folds,' turns the page.
Typed to a margin, then
handwritten; before
once leaves, twice a pillow--
weight, or stolen.
As long as it's not some stoic,
some air, some fallen,
a beggar with a lisp; it is this--
that moves when she moves,
or seems to. She sets the book down.
It goes from her. Now the window
looks sharper. There is some laughter.
She is breathing still the last line.
She is unfolding the cards.

The Sunday Currently #4
Posted November 30, 2014on:
Yep, this is the second time I have a consecutive Sunday Currently, and this one is published on a Monday too! What's happening to me? A short explanation is that life has been gnarly recently and hasn't been kind to my blogging schedule. That and my phone's camera conked out and I haven't been able to take decent pictures for my reviews. Owell, enough with the excuses! I hope to do much better this week and the succeeding ones, as December is going to be very exciting!
Side note: I have decided that I'll simply not include the categories that won't have anything new or noteworthy. I don't really clutter the blog up so much.
At the time of this writing, I have just finished rereading The Hunger Games trilogy. This was driven mainly by my recent watching of Mockingjay Part 1 (see Watching, below). It is still one of my favorite reads, and has become somewhat of a comfort read to me. Some time in the future I want to get a good printed version (I only have a digital version currently).
I've started formatting my new Moleskine planner into the form I've been dreaming of. It's not yet perfect, but I think it's getting there. I'm quite excited to start the new year because of that!
My husband, daughter, and I are huge fans of musicals, and one of our recent favorites is Little Shop of Horrors. It's a pretty depressing musical, but the songs are so good! Feed Me is my particular favorite.
My husband gamely went with me to watch Mockingjay Part 1 (as he did with the last two movies in the series). It was pretty good, we thought, although the biggest complaint we both had was about the pace; there really was no need to split it into two movies as Part 1 felt too slow. It was a treat to watch though, and I thought that Jennifer Lawrence really played a great Katniss. Can't wait to see Part 2 and see my husband's reaction to the twists (he didn't read the books).
I recently made a pinterest board for Planner Inspirations, as I'm so hooked into my new Moleskine planner at the moment. I'm also reading through Bullet Journal, which I'm planning to do in the planner as well.
One of my favorite places to eat at is Mad for Pizza, at Il Terrazzo Tomas Morato. The hook is that you get to design your own pizza from a wide array of choices for the dough, sauce, and toppings. Pretty addicting, and freshly baked pizza is so good!
December has come, and with that I always consider gifts. I always like to give gifts to the people that provide regular service to my family, such as house help, laundry, and vet to name a few. It's a good way to give thanks for their service beyond just providing them their regular salary/payments. I'm thinking of what to give them this year, which is honestly a good problem to have!
Just a little overwhelmed. Okay maybe a lot. There is something I am attempting with the blog, hopefully you'll see it soon. I hope I don't mess it up!
How has your week been?
The Sunday Currently #3
Posted November 23, 2014on:
How has your week been? Mine has been pretty okay, and the highlight of the week was the quarterly parent-teacher conference and a trip to the vet with two cats. Both have been quite productive and enlightening.
Would you believe I'm not reading anything at the moment? Que horror! I do have a long reading list, and I should get on with it. Oooh, does reading comics count? My husband has me reading this comic called Journey Into Mystery, the premise of which is that after Loki tore the worlds apart and also saved it, he died and got reincarnated into a young boy, and the comic is basically what happens to him as a young Loki. Very interesting stuff, and I'm only at the beginning!
I bought myself a new planner, and I'm looking forward to using all those delicious pages to write. At this point I'll be happy to be writing anything, just to get those muscles warmed up again.
Nothing interesting here, unfortunately. What should I be doing with categories that has nothing interesting?
My daughter and I are rewatching the anime Hataraku Maou-sama!, the premise of which is basically the devil (Maou) being transported into our modern world with his lieutenant, losing most of their powers, and being forced to work (hataraku) in a fast food restaurant to stay alive. I really enjoy the story and humor and premise, and there is an underlying idea of having to grow up to progress.
I did end up getting Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, and that's mostly what I've been playing recently. It's vastly superior to the prior version, and the quest mechanism is really fun.
Planner hacks is what I'm interested in lately. I like looking at people's take on their ideal planners, and I like the crafty side of it. I bought myself some stickers and stuff for my new planner, and I can't wait to get started!
Another good rediscovery is Sushi-ya, a great affordable Japanese restaurant. We ate at the Robinsons Galleria branch. We always get the bento set for two, with tori teriyaki for the main dish. It's quite filling and there's a good variety of dishes included in the set.
This week my husband cooked his classic fried chicken drumsticks, again using Crispy Fry for the breading. Apparently my daughter really likes it enough that she ate three!
I found myself in need of new slacks to wear to the office, so I trooped over to SM to get a couple. My non-negotiable criteria for slacks are: must have functional pockets (none of those tiny-ass ones, or heaven forbid, the fake pockets); must be straight or flared (ie not tapered); must not be scratchy. Luckily there's this brand that had styles that fit me, and I got a bonus bag because I hit their minimum amount. Not bad!
I'm trying to distract myself from thinking of this, but I am so far failing. Where do I want this blog to go? Right now it is definitely a hobby, and I have learned so much and gained so much from this hobby. But as with all hobbies, there are costs both monetary and timewise. It is a little hard to balance all things in life, and usually one of the first things to go would be hobbies. Quite honestly I don't want this hobby to end as this is my main creative outlet at the moment. In point of fact, I keep thinking of how to make this blog to become better. Decisions, decisions..
More kitties! Haha, joking. … or am I? My vet threatened that it won't stop with just one and she was right. I can't believe I now have two cats (and a dog), and I find myself considering more. I know there will be limits to how much my house can accommodate cats and I think it is near that limit. However I am not closing myself to the idea of rescuing more kittens in need.
Anticipatory. There are a lot of things happening in December, work-wise and personal. I am mostly excited, and am looking forward to these things.
How did you do this week?
The Sunday Currently #2
Posted November 16, 2014on:
My biggest fear right now has come to pass. Having two consecutive The Sunday Currently means it's already been a week since my last post! Unfortunately I'm on a writing block right now, but I'm hoping the upcoming week brings fresh aspects. Here's to hoping for more blog motivations!
I've finished reading Dune, and it ended the way I thought it would. Very satisfying! Now I'm reading a pair of children's comic books called Pilandokomiks by Borg Sinaban, which I got from Komikon 2014 held yesterday.
The question is more of what I should be writing. I really should be blogging, but this week was quite crazy in terms of work schedule that I couldn't find the time and motivation for.
Recently hooked on Final Fantasy music, due to my playing of Theatrhythm on the 3DS. My favorites are the following, which are incidentally from my two favorite iterations of FF:
To Zanarkand, Final Fantasy X
Melodies of Life, Final Fantasy IX (spoilers)
We're still watching Bleach slowly, like maybe one episode per week. We also watched Big Hero 6 at the cinemas and we all loved it.
I already mentioned Teatrhythm Final Fantasy in the Listening category. It is a musical rhythm game on the 3DS, played very similar to things like O2Jam (wow old school!). I like it so much that I'm considering buying the "upgraded" one called Teatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, which has more of everything plus extras!
Clicker Heroes is a great time waster, and runs on the background once you get the engine going! I warn you against clicking it, because you might get hooked!
Wings! We love wings, and our favorite restaurants that give good wings are Buffalo Wings N' Things (Glorietta 5) and Red Buffalo (Eastwood).
This week my husband cooked Kung Pao Chicken Pasta. It's very simple! It just consists of deep fried chicken thigh fillets (breading: Crispy Fry), Clara Ole Kung Pao sauce, and spaghetti pasta. The ultimate lazy family meal!
I've found nice long sleeved shirts at Cotton On. It's perfect for the cooling weather and can be rolled up in case it gets really hot. I chanced upon a sale and got the shirts for Php600 each. It's not quite the sweaters I was looking for, but it's good enough!
Friendships. I've had an unlucky run where I didn't realize I was being taken advantage of for a ridiculously long time. I think I just realized it when I had to deal with my daughter getting bullied at her old school (I just basically transferred her to a school that suits her better). It's really hard when you realize that things have not been going as well as they seemed at the time. It's even harder to consider cutting ties with what you thought were lifetime friends.
What I always want more of is time. There seems to be less and less of it everyday. Either that, or I just want to do more and more things! It might not really be a time management issue anymore, but rather, hobby management.
Still exhausted, but I took a few days off work to catch up on rest. (Un)Fortunately it got a bit interrupted when we rescued another kitten. This kitten was found alone near my car, dirty and hurt. The vet said it has a dislocated hip and was possibly hit lightly by a vehicle. It is doing much better now, and we named it Lucky.
See you again next week for The Sunday Currently!
The Sunday Currently #1
Posted November 9, 2014on:
One of Bea's most recent posts is something called The Sunday Currently. It is apparently a tag or a weekly writing prompt (origin here) with twelve headings to show what is going on with one's life. I've seen it also on Carina's personal blog (Nothing Spaces). I really love the idea of something that briefly shows a snapshot of one's life, and it's interesting to see how things change over time. Many of the headings were fairly redundant (in my opinion), so I tweaked it a bit to fit into my life more. I'm calling it the Geeky Version (since that's still what I identify as, mostly). I also wanted a way to put in some part of my personal life here in my blog, without necessarily crowding out the beauty blogging.
Dune by Frank Herbert, strangely and embarrassingly enough; I am a little ashamed to admit that I haven't read this one before. It's about a noble family taking over the administration of a hostile planet and finding that things are a bit more complicated than expected (talk about understatement). It's one of the classic science fiction works, and it stands the test of time beautifully. I'm in the last part of the books and I can't wait to see what happens.
I was debating whether or not to include this heading, as I don't really write outside of blogging. That could be a challenge, I thought, and see if I could actually start writing fiction again. Whenever I think of writing fiction, I'm always reminded of a time long ago when I wrote a very short scifi story for a school assignment I believe. Part of the assignment is having your work peer-reviewed. You guessed it: I had a really bad experience with the peer review, and was embarrassed beyond words. I think that was one of the biggest things that blocked me from writing again. With this weekly thing I'm hoping I can start overcoming it and start writing (and sharing) again.
This was another one of the categories I wasn't sure I wanted to keep, as I tend to be very broad with what I want to listen to. I decided to keep it to see how my music tastes changes over time. This week I was very much into the percussive guitar genre and two of my favorites are Rylynn by Andy McKee and Passionflower by Jon Gomm. I love having my percussive guitar playlist on the background while I'm working as it's very soothing and calming without making me sleepy.
This is one of the new categories I introduced. My geeky family and I have a looooong list of things to watch, and I thought this would be a great way to track which ones we should be finishing and stuff. Right now we're still in the middle of watching Bleach and we're enjoying it very much. We're trying to finish Season 6 (The Arrancar) and I'm happy that the plot is finally moving along. We're also aiming to watch Big Hero 6 hopefully this weekend.
This is definitely a heading I wanted to include here. I am always playing a game in some form or another, and I thought, like Watching, it would be great to see which ones I've finished over the weeks. The challenge here is to, well, prevent this category from overcrowding the rest of the post! Nowadays I'm very much into playing my 3DSXL, and the game I'm in the middle of right now is Bravely Default. I was looking for a modern Final Fantasy type game with a great job system, and this is it! I think I've just passed the halfway point, and I'm already hoping they would release a sequel.
Now I'm not entirely sure what this is supposed to be. I click a lot of things; I practically live on the internet. What then should I share? Perhaps at this point I'll share where I click most often: my RSS reader, Inoreader. I like it mostly because it's the closest to the original Google Reader that I was previously using. Very clean format and no frills.
Ah, what a conundrum this is. I love eating, that's why I included this new category! It's gonna be hard choosing just one to share, but let me start with one of my favorite places to eat: Omakase. It's the go-to Japanese restaurant for my husband and I, and so far we have found nothing that can beat their sushi and maki. Our favorite branch is at Il Terrazzo, Tomas Morato (QC).
Again a new category I added, as I also love cooking. There's barely any time to cook these days, but once upon a time I cooked my baon regularly. Recently we try to have a regular home-cooked breakfast on the weekends, which my daughter really enjoys. We would usually have some fried eggs, pandesal, and either bacon, corned beef, or spam.
Sweaters! It's nearly or even practically sweater weather, and I'm loving these right now. I want to get more! Any suggestions?
Time management, to be honest. I find it very hard to find time to do all the things I want to do (not to mention the things I need to do) and I couldn't determine why. I would always blame travel time but I'm not sure if that's the only reason.
I definitely want a lot of things! But right now in my immediate purchasing future I intend to buy a bigger everyday bag. The bag I am using right now cannot fit my 3DSXL and I would like to have it with me inside the same bag instead of carrying it separately.
Exhausted. I feel super stretched with no end in sight, and I'm just glad I can sneak in a bit of blogging and video gaming every now and then to keep sanity intact. I feel that once I resolve that issue with time management, the stress will be reduced automatically. Let's hope for the best!
I'd be interested to see your sundays currently! Let me know if you've started your own!

Globally, most people start smoking before the age of 18, with almost a quarter of those beginning before the age of 10. The younger children are when they first try smoking, the more likely they are to become regular tobacco users and the less likely they are to quit.
A strong link between advertising and smoking in young people has been proven. The more aware and appreciative young people are of tobacco advertising, the more likely they are to smoke or say they intend to. As a result, the tobacco industry spends billions of dollars worldwide each year spreading its marketing net as widely as possible to attract young customers. Tobacco companies market their products
wherever youth can be easily accessed – in the movies, on the Internet,
in fashion magazines, and at music concerts and sports events.
In response to this threat, World No Tobacco Day 2008 campaigns for a: Total ban on all forms of tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship by the tobacco industry.
You can help break the tobacco marketing net. Download the materials below and share them with others to spread the word that tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship must be banned.

If Phil Spector created the wall of sound,
Mogwai have created a f**king forcefield.
Last nights Glasgow Barrowland Ballroom show to celebrate 20-years of music was sonically sensational, fierce, beautiful, brutal, jaw dropping, ear shattering and spine tinglingly amazing.
My friend and I were genuinely blown away by the majestic power and beauty created on the legendary Barrowland stage. Almost literally at one point during Mogwai Fear Satan in the encore as the band let things drop before absolutely exploding back into life.
I can only liken it to the bit in Back To The Future when Marty McFly plugs his guitar in and turns everything up, plays a chord and is blown across the room. It was utterly amazing.
As you can imagine; there was a lot of love in the room last night for a local band playing the second of two sold out nights to celebrate 20-years since their first release.
The band gave plenty back though; a 3 strong support bill (with The Vaselines on incredible rip roaring form) and a collection for the local foodbank said a lot about Mogwai's values as a band. They look after their friends, promote their influences and firmly believe in a more equal society with Braithwaite dedicating a song to everyone who had taken part in the anti austerity march in Glasgow the previous day.
The band eased us gently into a 2-hour trip with a light show that matched the music and mood superbly. The band coaxed gorgeous little sounds from their guitars at one moment before unleashing ferocious riffs at others, underpinned by bass grooves, the most amazing sounding drums and keys/synths at times.
Braithwaite was always quick to thank the crowd for coming, highlighting that he knew many had travelled extensively to be there.
New Paths to Helicon was stunning, Remurdered from Rave Tapes was incredible and the aforementioned Mogwai Fear Satan was mind blowing but in truth this was all one remarkable show.
Musically and visually, this was a night to remember.

Social pressures are forcing people to cut back on their sleep, contributing to a "global sleep crisis," according to a new study based on research collected through a smartphone app.
It enabled scientists from the University of Michigan to track sleep patterns around the world — gathering data about how age, gender and the amount of natural light to which people are exposed affect sleep patterns in 100 countries — and better understand how cultural pressures can override biological rhythms.
"The effects of society on sleep remain largely unquantified," says the study published Friday in the journal Science Advances."We find that social pressures weaken and/or conceal biological drives in the evening, leading individuals to delay their bedtime and shorten their sleep."
Lack of sleep is mostly affected by the time people go to bed, the study found.Middle-aged men get the least amount of sleep, less than the recommended seven to eight hours. And age is the main factor determining amount of sleep.
Scientists asked some 6,000 people 15 and older to send anonymous data about sleep, wake-up and lighting environment, enabling the scientists to obtain a large amount of data about sleep patterns worldwide.The app also asks users to input information about their ages, gender, countries and time zones.
I Word Understanding
Global sleep crisis – social pressures are forcing people to cut back on their sleep
Social pressures – is influence a peer group, observers, or an individual exerts that encourages others to change their attitudes, values, or behaviors to conform to those of the influencing group or individual.
Cultural pressures – The social influence a peer group exerts on its individual members, as each member attempts to conform to the expectations of the group.
Override – use one's authority to reject or cancel
Biological rhythms – is any cyclic change in the level of a bodily. chemical or function
Sleep patterns – a departure or divergence from that which is considered normal.
II Have your say
1. Why global sleep crisis has frightened many countries?
Oversleeping crisis effect
*Sleeping too much can raise depression risk.
*It could impair the brain.
*It can lead to weight gain
Short sleep crisis effect
*A lack of sleep can make you less productive
*Sleep deprivation is hurting your employer — and the economy
*Anxiety, depression, and increased neuroticism
2.Social Pressure Factors
*Low self esteem
*Lack of confidence
*Uncertainty about ones place within a given peer group
*No personal interests exclusive of one's peer group
*Feeling isolated from peers and/or family
*Poor academic abilities or performance
3.The loss of productivity caused by insomnia is a significant drain on the American business economy, equating to a loss of several thousand dollars per employee per year. When you look at the overall impact of the 23% of Americans who struggle with insomnia, the $63B annual cost is staggering.

I was tempted to call this one a tin soldier — or a wool soldier! — but even if you just call it a toy soldier it's super adorable and easy to knit.
JustJen made this sweet little guy as a Christmas ornament, and it's quick to make with scarp yarn. The body is worked in one piece, with arms added on and lots of stitched details for extra cuteness.
Of course it's classic in black and red, but it might be fun to make a rainbow of toy soldiers using a bunch of different bits of scrap yarn.
I love the idea of a garland of soldiers, or using them to decorate gift bags. So sweet!

Wednesday was a scary night in Ferguson: Tear gas, bricks thrown journalists arrested.
Ferguson Missouri Police Chief Thomas Jackson spoke again tonight with Sean Hannity. Jackson told Hannity that the Ferguson police have been shot at every night during the rioting. He also admitted that he had been shot at.
Police Chief Thomas Jackson: We haven't had a single protester injured. The only injuries have been to police officers. One had his ankle broken by a brick… I think this was the first time we had a firebomb thrown at us but we have taken gunfire pretty much every night…

Hannity: You've taken gunfire. Meaning shots have been fired at officers?
Chief Jackson: Yes. Myself included.

Strategic Urban Design Initiative
Achieving good urban form through the local plan process
The Urban Design Group is launching a service to advise local authorities on strategic urban design issues in the local plan process. The 'Vision for Growth' initiative is modelled on the design review process. The service will provide support at critical stages of the plan making process to ensure that there is a strong design input into shaping towns or city quarters.
This will be of interest to local authorities who are planning for growth and who would welcome additional support for in-house teams from experienced practitioners in developing a vision for the future form of a settlement. Each project will show the council what work needs to be done, how to approach it, and will help build the council's capacity to carry it out.
The pressures to identify and allocate sites can sometimes be at the expense of nurturing good urban form for the whole town. However, it is the evolving shape and structure of a settlement thatwill determine its efficient functioning and environmental quality for generations, if not centuries, to come.
At least half of urban design decisions are made, sometimes inadvertently, at an early stage of local plan preparation. Urban design needs to be a thread that runs through the plan-making process, from town-wide strategies to site-planning.
Planning for growth is one of the main concerns of many local planning authorities, wherever the council may be in the plan-making process. Even a council that has recently adopted a new local plan and completed the site allocation process will be starting to think about future locations for growth.
The UDG will run workshops for council officers and members to explore working methods that the council can later use by itself. The UDG's team, provided for no charge, will be matched by an equivalent input from the council's officers.
The workshops will produce diagrams and descriptions of how the town evolved, showing the movement structure, landscape and topography, and will show how the street pattern could expand. This can become the basis for the council to identify sites for development, creating the pattern of districts, neighbourhoods, land-uses and open spaces that make up a successful village, town or city.
We recognize that resources in local authorities are scarce and that the pressure to deliver housing is immense. Expanding the strategic spatial planning dimension to local plans and site allocation policies should help to raise the quality of the built environment, reduce opposition to new development, and speed up the planning and development process.
If you would like to discuss further, contact Robert Huxford, Director UDG: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Urban Design Group, a registered charity, has been campaigning for urban design for over 40 years.
Members of the UDG panel, all of them experienced practitioners, are available to guide and complement in-house local authority teams needing to deal with urban design at a strategic level. The service is not an alternative to staff recruitment or the commissioning of work.

Unless otherwise stated, all events are held in The Gallery, 70 Cowcross Street, London EC1M 6EJ at 6.30 pm.

Thirteen State Senators Facing Recall Campaigns
Four More Senators Targeted Wednesday
The number of state senators facing recalls over the budget battle jumped from nine to 13 Wednesday.
Recall paperwork was filed for four more Republican Senators: Mary Lazich, R-New Berlin, Glenn Grothman, R-West Bend, Sheila Harsdorf, R-River Falls, and Dan Kapanke, R-La Crosse.
That brings the number of Republican senators facing potential recalls to eight, with efforts pending against Sens. Robert Cowles, R-Green Bay, Alberta Darling, R-River Hills, Randy Hopper, R-Fond du Lac and Luther Olsen, R-Ripon.
Five Democratic senators are also facing a recall: Sens. Mark Miller, D-Monona, Spencer Coggs, D-Milwaukee, Dave Hansen, D-Green Bay, Jim Holperin, D-Conover, and Robert Wirch, D-Kenosha.
More than 500 people had pulled into a Kenosha parking lot Wednesday afternoon to sign a petition to recall Wirch
"You're not representing me if you're not in the Capitol to vote," said constituent Amanda Cabrera, as she signed the petition.
"Vote yes or no, whether they agree or not, but they need to be in Madison," said constituent Sandra Dolye. "If (Wirch) can't do his job, he should get out."
The effort is part of a larger campaign businessman Dan Hunt is organizing to collect more than 10,000 signatures for a recall petition.
"They're not representing their constituents because they're not in (Madison)," Hunt said. "They're representing a certain segment of their constituents but they're not representing all their constituents by not being on the job. There are many of us who feel disenfranchised because our state senator is not sitting in Madison," Hunt said.
Democratic senators insisted they were continuing to serve their constituents, even from Illinois.
"We're still standing in solidarity with the workers and the people of Wisconsin. It doesn't matter where our feet are. We stand for our constituents. We stand for the people who elected us," said state Senator Chris Larson, D-Milwaukee.
This past weekend, constituents of Republican state Sen. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills, gathered in an effort to recall her.
"She let it out of committee. She had a chance to look at the bill and say, 'This reaches too far,'" Darling recall organizer Kristopher Rowe said Saturday.
Darling told 12 News voters wanted a balanced budget and she thought the bill would help the state's economy.
A woman who answered the phone in Wirch's Madison office said the state senator was unavailable for comment Wednesday evening.

Thanks for finding that PDF. I tried numerous web searches to find useful information and came up with nothing. Hopefully somewhere in that monstrous file are complete schematics.
The CPU is probably running, I haven't much of an opportunity to dig in too deep. But the reset circuit is not working so the CPU probably isn't doing anything useful. I ran out of patience trying to figure out the reset circuit so I've been trying to find schematics. I did run into some power problems, possibly due my disassembly, but I seem to have that sorted out. I also found a couple chips running far hotter than I think they should.

- Release Date: Nov 4, 2010
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Dec 15, 2010Despite a few hiccups with the tracking and an unorthodox handling of the vehicles, Joyride is a solid racing game at heart.
Jan 11, 2011The main issue in Kinect Joy Ride is that you cannot break or accelerate. You are just moving your hands and pretend holding a steering wheel. Joy Ride is something for in between, but it is not motivating to play for hours and hours.
Dec 23, 2010For parents looking for a game without the violence or complications and you're looking to get a Kinect for your kids, definitely check this game out if you're after a second game. However Kinect Sports come first than this!
Dec 15, 2010And, like many of Kinect's titles, photos taken of the players capture all the ridiculousness. Kinect's launch-day racer lacks polish, and serious race fans will want to steer clear of its super-casual approach. However, if you're looking for a Kinect title with a fun, wind-in-your-hair approach to the genre, this one's worth taking for a spin.
Game InformerDec 15, 2010"Quotation Forthcoming"
Dec 15, 2010Kinect Joy Ride provides a crammed package with plenty of games, a fine selection of unlockables and a challenge that offers plenty of room for improvement of your skills. If you're looking for a launch title to really get your teeth into even when you're on your own, you could do much worse than this.
Jan 3, 2011Kinect Joy Ride is a good racing game that will entertain your friends and family. The steering doesn't always work but that shouldn't stop casual gamers from buying this game.
Dec 21, 2010This motion-controlled racer is fun, but it'd undoubtedly be better if you could play it with a regular controller.
Dec 21, 2010A bizzare divide between the extremes of playing the game aside, Kinect Joy Ride plays well enough to justify use of the Kinect sensor, but there really isn't enough to it otherwise.
Dec 15, 2010The first is that this game is definitely not for diehard racing fans as the content and control will turn them off. On the other side of the fence though is the fact that I truly think this game is not that bad at all, and it could be a real hit when Kinect owners have friends or family over and they want to do something different for the night.
Dec 21, 2010What began as a promising little Arcade game turned into a poor showpiece for a new technology.
Jan 12, 2011Kinect Joy Ride it's the racing game that uses Kinect to bring us a controller free driving experience, but the main flaw is the imprecise control that lacks the overall experience.
Jan 10, 2011Overall the game is decent and fairly enjoyable, but considering how it doesn't really take advantage of what the system is capable of, it isn't much of a good game to have released alongside the new Kinect hardware.
Jan 9, 2011Joy Ride is a fun game for casual riders, but its control isn't so much precise.
Jan 3, 2011Joy Ride is a nice game with bad controls. Give the players the possibility to choose a classic control system, and this game will be awesome. The lack of precision due to the Kinect camera transforms a potentially great game in an average experience.
Jan 3, 2011A funny game spoiled by the controls: the software is not polished enoguh to let Kinect catch all of your movements, resulting in a sometimes frustrating experience.
Jan 2, 2011In the end, Kinect Joy Ride needed to take more chances in order to stand out from the racing crowd, and perhaps even offer controller support for those who aren't feeling the power of Microsoft's motion device.
Jan 2, 2011Kinect Joy Ride can be entertaining for short play sessions with our friends, but ends up tiring the players very quickly, failing to offer enough variety and sense of challenge.
Dec 21, 2010This is not an unplayable game by any stretch of the imagination, but, Kinect Joy Ride isn't as tight as it needs to be.
Dec 21, 2010It's initially quite fun, but truth be told, steering with an invisible wheel gets a bit old after a couple of hours and the game has few pleasures to offer besides.
Dec 21, 2010However Joyride is no worse than any launch title to come out of Wii in its earliest year. It sets its aim toward the casual family market and hits it, bull's-eye. In terms of light-weight casual games it gains points if only for the novelty value of not having a controller, and that's its niche.
Dec 21, 2010The result is a game that unfortunately showcases why controllers exist in the first place. If you've got a brand new Kinect, stick to the dance and fitness games and avoid this one.
Dec 21, 2010There are some brief moments of fun in Kinect Joy Ride, but most of the time you'll be too busy fighting the loose controls to really enjoy it. Making matters worse, the game would be an absolute pushover if you played it with a traditional analog stick and buttons. With shallow gameplay and just a handful of tracks, it certainly doesn't justify the $50 price tag.
Dec 21, 2010Might just be proof that racing games will never work with Kinect.
Jan 6, 2011Joy Ride doesn't offer what its name promises. The game looks nice enough and has a lot of different modes, but there's no feedback for your hands to know how much you should steer to the left or right. The results are frustrating.
Jan 2, 2011Another clear example that Kinect developers must think new ideas instead of just adapting old gameplay mechanics that, honestly, don't work quite well with Microsoft's camera.
Dec 21, 2010If there wasn't a decent racer attached to the gimmick, I wouldn't recommend it at all.
Dec 21, 2010Kinect Joyride is not a game you should invest in, yet with a few tweaks here and there, it could have been something great.
Dec 21, 2010It's fun for a while, but by no stretch of the imagination is it worth £35.
Edge MagazineDec 15, 2010Yes, you really do feel in chargeof steering, but when the amount of speed put into a tight bend is dictated by the game, not the player, that feeling only delivers so much. [Christmas 2010, p.98]
Dec 15, 2010Whilst Kinect Joyride does offer some fun moments, the fact you never really feel in control this is' very short lived…probably just like the game will be in your collection.
Xbox World 360 Magazine UKDec 28, 2010Some fun to be had, but not for long. [Feb 2011, p.108]
Jan 5, 2011Kinect Joy Ride could have been a great partygame. Unfortunately, the extremely broken controls, boring racetracks, and long loading times makes this game a bore. Even if the promising control scheme would have worked like it should, the game would have been far too simple to really care about.
games(TM)Jan 4, 2011The driving mechanic in itself is an interesting display of ever-increasing possibilities of the kit, and we look forward to seeing its like implemented in more compulsive, sophisticated titles further down the line. [Issue#104, p.127]
Games Master UKDec 29, 2010The racing is twee and unsatisfying. [Jan 2011]
Dec 21, 2010The overall feel of the game is just not engaging – there's no sense of speed, there's no sense of control, and there's no sense of variety.
Dec 21, 2010There's not enough content in this package, and the progression aspects are woefully lacking. For the most part you're expected to keep playing to rank up stats, rather than a compelling campaign.
Official Xbox MagazineDec 15, 2010"Quotation Forthcoming"
Jan 12, 2011Joy Ride, bless it, tries desperately hard to be Microsoft's answer to Mario Kart on so many levels which makes it even more cringeworthy to see it fall flat on its face every time. With twitchy controls, uninspired gameplay, and a sheer lack of any sense of speed or adrenaline that you're supposed to get from a racer, Joy Ride is anything but what its name suggests.
Dec 21, 2010For those who want a decent game to accompany Kinect there are much better and more solid alternatives than Joy Ride.
Dec 21, 2010Kinect Joy Ride is typically the game that would have won everything to be playable with a traditional controller. Playing it with your body is a real stress, as it is completely approximative and capricious. Even with all your patience and goodwill, it's a failure you have to quickly forget!

Hi !
When I put maximum force on the pedals, for example in the uphill, the pedals has started to slip. As if cassette and hub are making a spin and losing resistance. Chain and cassette are new. I have tried to re tightening the cassette.
What could be the problem ?
Best regards

Seriously, the place has two names. Every guidebook calls it Playa Ventura and every map labels it Juan Alvarez. I'm guessing that the later was the original and it didn't quite have that ring that brings in the tourists. Regardless of the name it is a beautiful Mexican beach town filled with enramada restaurants and little casita hotels. We ate and camped in front of some really beautiful rock formations in what is supposedly a fun little beach break. We wouldn't know considering there is still no surf. Plenty of time for reading and writing though.
Every night I go out of my way to ask the purveyor of the enramada or rv park or whatever spot we are camped about the security of the place at night and whether it is safe and chill. My new favorite Mexican phrases include seguros and tranquillo. The answer is usually pretty straightforward, if it is safe that is. If not, there is some general stumbling around until you get something along the lines of mas o menos (more or less safe – thanks that tells me a lot) or es peligroso en los todos de mexico (the whole country is dangerous). The purveyor of our little enramada gave me the straight answer, totally safe, muey tranquillo, especialmente en la noche. Apparently her definition of safe and mine diverge slightly. Honestly it seemed pretty chill and we stayed up reading in hammocks well into the night. About 3 or 4 in the morning I woke up to what I thought was some sort of seed falling on the van, a weird echo. And then I heard it again, and then I realized we weren't parked under anything, so my initial estimation of seeds falling on the van was not all that possible. Turns out, some baracho hombre (drunk dude) decided to hunt pigeons or some shit at three in the morning with a .22 caliber rifle. I was never really scared of the boy scout gun and the guy never really got that close to the van but I didn't really go back to sleep until the ruckus subsided. I'm pretty sure that the incident had nothing really to do with Mexico. Dudes in the country, and this is as country as it gets, as country as rural Kansas or as country as rural Alabama, get drunk and go shoot some shit in the middle of the night, the only real difference is that there were quite a few people around and the cops never showed, oh and guns are legal in Alabama but not in Guerrero.

Yes, it's that time of year to Give the Gift of Misery! Sure, you've already got your copy of Miserable Holiday Stories. Now's your chance to ruin someone else's festive season, with the gift that stops giving after about twelve-and-a-half minutes.
Here's what Reviewers on Amazon are saying:
"These are some of the funniest holiday stories I have ever read."
"Miserable Holiday Stories is, at turns, funny (Gypsy, Bicycle Boys) and heartbreaking (Balance, The Smoking Lounge, etc) and always edgy and engrossing."
"The K-Rope is a genre in and of itself."
"'The #$@!# Bicycle Boys Save Christmas, Again' is worth the price of admission (not to mention "Gypsy," which is worth at least $1.63)."
"My personal favs are Blue Christmas and the quirky and surprising Smoking Lounge."
"Wonderful Voice, Bright and Entertaining"
"This #$@!# is funny!"

Lee: Remove "failure" Moses; Dillon must shed light
UNC Deputy Political Leader David Lee says the Opposition is continuing its call for Foreign and Caricom Affairs Minister Dennis Moses to be removed and described him as a "convoluted and confused" individual and also called on National Security Minister Edmund Dillon to shed light on his civil lawsuit.
On Thursday during the post-Cabinet media conference Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley spoke about the incident where TT representative to the Organisation of American States (OAS) Ambassador Anthony Phillips-Spencer voted against Dominica's request for a waiver of OAS membership fees following the effects of Hurricane Maria. Rowley said Moses was not aware of Dominica's waiver and announced he was appointing Ambassador Christopher Thomas to review the process used by Phillip-Spencer.
Following the controversial vote the Opposition had called for Moses to be removed and on Thursday during a telephone interview Lee said the Opposition is still calling for his immediate removal and dismissal.
"We again call on the removal of Moses, a convoluted and confused individual. As minister of foreign affairs you have to be concise and clear in expressing issues of international affairs."
Lee also commented on National Security Minister Edmund Dillon, who the Opposition had previously called to step down due to a civil suit where Dillon was accused of defrauding 88-year-old Neville Piper of a Manhattan apartment and US$50,000. The case in the New York Supreme Court ended on Wednesday with the judge ordering that the proceedings be sealed which effectively bars the media or anyone from reporting details about what happened.
According to attorneys representing Dillon and US attorney Ernest Wilson, no finding of wrongdoing was made by the judge against Dillon. This was also contained in a media release issued yesterday by the Ministry of National Security.
Lee recalled the Opposition had asked for Dillon to step down pending the decision of the court. He said while the court had made a decision and the matter had ended the decision was sealed and shrouded in secrecy.
"We are asking for Dillon to shed some light on the real issue and why he wanted it to be kept in secret. We feel strongly for transparency for the public and country of Trinidad and Tobago he should let the public know he was an innocent individual. We have to ask 'why the secrecy about the decision and what was the real issue."

Ok,well I've been wanting to write an actual blog for awhile,but I haven't had the time. End of the semester crap is real right now. I'm almost done,but still have a few days left.
This is more so to get something off my mind/heart and a pre-whatever to what I actually want to write,but don't have time right now because I need to go to bed lol
I was just praying and I told God,I'm scared. I'm scared/nervous/whatever and my mom isn't here. Sometimes,life legitimately sucks without her. I also told Ace I probably need to cry soon. I felt it today and I think a little yesterday. But no time right now. I will though. I think. One day.
To be continued…

"Upon acquisition, Augere will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Airtel. The acquisition is subject to necessary statutory and regulatory approvals," a statement issued by the company said.
Augere Wireless had won a block of 20 MHz of 4G spectrum (in the 2,300 MHz band) in the Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh circle for Rs 122.46 crore in the 2010 auctions. The company - owned by France Telecom and a clutch of private equity funds such as Harbinger Capital and New Silk Route - initially announced plans of rolling out 4G services in late 2011.
However, soon thereafter it decided not to go ahead with the launch, citing uncertain regulatory conditions. It had been looking to sell its permit ever since.
While Airtel didn't announce the size of the deal, ET had earlier reported that the airwaves were valued at close to Rs 150 crore. The move will help Airtel consolidate its 4G high-speed broadband footprint ahead of Reliance Jio Infocomm's launch scheduled for December.
Earlier this month, Airtel had announced that it will complete the rollout of 4G services in 296 towns spread across all 14 circles where it has 4G airwaves over the next few weeks, marking its commercial foray into 4G segment.
