Treatment of pediatric skull base tumors is limited by the dose of radiation that can be delivered because of critical normal tissues in this region.Ê Becuase of the unique physical characteristics of proton beams, a much higher dose of radiation can be delivered with this therapy when compared to standard photons. This study reports the experience of treating tumors of the skull base with protons at Loma Linda University and MGH.
Materials and Methods:
Authors' Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications:
Mar 6, 2015 - Long-term survival may be increased in medium-risk prostate cancer patients who receive short-term androgen deprivation therapy before and during radiation treatment compared with men who receive radiation alone. In addition, proton beam therapy may be associated with a decreased risk of disease recurrence after 10 years and has minimal side effects after one year, according to research presented at the 51st Annual Meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology, held from Nov. 1 to 5 in Chicago.

WHITE PEOPLE JAM OF THE WEEK: Warpaint – Love Is To Die
In a continuing effort to expand on my musical palette, I've come across this group of talented young women that originated in the city of Angels a decade ago. It's funny how you come across groups that you think are new, but they've actually been putting in years of work on the road and in the studio, but are just now getting their due when you find out about them. Anyway, Warpaint's "Love Is To Die" is a pretty amazing song. It's very flowy and flowery yet simultaneously depressing and dark. The lead vocals and lyrics are haunting and piercing, giving the listener the feeling of the lump you get in your throat after your significant other gives you the "it's not you, it's me" speech. You can tell that Emily Kokal, Theresa Wayman, Jenny Lee Lindberg and Stella Mozgawa have been through a few things from this song from their self-titled album released earlier this year. An interesting factoid: former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusicante actually mixed this bands debut EP Exquisite Corpse in 2008. Given the recent press love given to them from the likes of BBC and NPR, it seems that a decade of the indie grind is paying off for Warpaint. Have a listen to "Love Is To Die" below.

British/Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare MBE explores colonialism and the intricate ways in which it has shaped, and continues to shape, cultural identities. He is well known for his life-size sculptural tableaux featuring staged, headless mannequins dressed in elaborate period garments. In these works, the materials and designs of the original clothing are replaced with batik, a colorful and ornately patterned fabric.
New York-based artist Gary Simmons is known for his "erasure" technique, which he began using in the early 1990s. Initially creating semi-erased works with chalk on blackboards, the artist has evolved to works on paper, paint on canvas, and murals that mimic smudged chalk. The resulting blurred and ghostly images often refer to intersections of pop culture, race, and class.

Picked up my friend. Drove to Central West End to pick up his "date." The streets were blocked off because it's a shitty neighborhood so we had to take the back way.
Went to another friends. He has some hot 18 year old there. She left.
Went to Friar Tucks in Fenton to buy alcohol, only they wouldn't let us because the girl we were with was 19. I told them that I was buying, and they said it didn't matter; everyone has to be over 21. I told them "well can she just leave and go wait in the car?" They said no. We went to Shop and Save.
I went to this house party in House Springs with my friend and his "date"... got really drunk.
I could tell my friends date was actually attracted to me, and I told him to give me 10 minutes and I'll kiss her. He told me to lay off, so I did. I could have had her though. She was a vegan like me.
Played beer pong, got even drunker. Won the first game. Everyone was surprised I threw so good by underhand. Lost the 2nd game.
Attracted some girl. We crashed the neighbor down the streets party, then we made out. She said "Don't tell my boyfriend."
Went back to the house, made out in the grass later that night like monkeys. Got her number. Still haven't called her. I might later today.
I lost my keys. I found them in grass. I jokingly told everyone "hmmm I wonder how these got there?"
Got home at around 6 AM.
I regretted taking what was left of my beer back home with me when I left considering I ate their food and all their beer was up for grabs anyway. I should have left it as a gratuity. I'm hoping nobody saw me take it or that they think I'm cheap (considering I drank their beer). All in all, fun night. It beats Chicago last year.

I just bought my second pair of these although the first pair is still serviceable after several years of hard use and bunches of cleaning cycles. A pair of these should last you a season or more of aggressive off-road riding. These will definitely reduce blistering on the palms opposite the knuckles and on the inside of the thumbs. My theory is that this is due to the low friction of the material and the skin-snug fit. I say â??snugâ?? as opposed to â??tight.â?? These gloves provide a low friction barrier from the abrasive effect of movement of the outer glove against the skin. No matter how hard you grip, there is going to be some sliding of the glove across the skin. Also of interest is that these gloves appear to be 100% machine knitted and have no seams or stitches, at least that I could find. The fibers are a very compliant but strong Lycra-like material. I also purchased a pair of Risk Racing blister protectors so as to have a showdown as it were. I haven't had the chance to performance-test the Risk units yet, but will say they seem very comfortable, are easy to slip into an overglove and are certainly of an innovative design. In the meantime, of the various blister barriers I have used, the MSR units are hands down the winner for comfort and blister reduction. I will gladly lay down $18 e pluribus unum for a product that performs this well. Cheers.

They get two stars because I've gone down hard in rocky areas and they did their job, kept my knees from getting destroyed. Now for the bad; They don't stay in place, extremely bulky, they rip the skin off my shins every ride even though I have heavier ARC socks on and the top strap clip broke on both sides.

These gloves fit well and have great grip in all conditions. The goggle wipers are a nice added touch. Was expecting these to be a little heavier weight but will be a nice spring/fall riding glove. Will edit this review once I get some more miles on the gloves. The gloves are holding up pretty well. Rode about 600 miles in West Virginia last spring and they were great for the cooler mornings. However after a full day riding the little rubber "spikes" on the palms really start to dig into your hands and get pretty uncomfortable. I've removed most of them since then. Overall they have about 800 miles worth of riding on them and they have no holes, or rips, all seams are holding well, and they show minimal wear on the palms. These gloves would be perfect if they were waterproof.

Purchased the helmet in blue. Looks even better in person. Fits perfectly. Snell approved, light weight and well built. If I was nit-picking, I would say the helmet bag is kinda shoddy, but that's it. Buy it!

Known by the Romans as strata montana, the Bergstrasse lies between Darmstadt in the north and Wiesloch in the south. Here life feels good: exquisite wines are produced and in springtime the almond and cherry blossom puts on a dazzling show of pink and white. These 80 magnificent kilometres on an ancient trade and military route at the foot of the Odenwald forest are part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Looking out over the legendary realm of the Nibelungs, castles and palaces skirt the hills and mountains along the Bergstrasse Route, creating a mysterious silhouette that is at once inviting and forbidding – a distant fairytale world brimming with ruined castles, even Castle Frankenstein. There's also the saga of how the dazzling Nibelung hero Siegfried met his bloody end – he was stabbed in the back as he drank from an Odenwald spring. To everyone's delight, this region enjoys an early spring, a long summer and a golden autumn. You can breathe in the scent of almond, peach, apricot, apple and cherry blossom, admire some truly magnificent magnolias and forsythias or go walking in the lush, green hills nearby – paradise could not be more beautiful, the great poet Goethe once said. The Bergstrasse region combines the best of both worlds: high-tech and a landscape shaped by over 2,000 years of history. It is always worth a visit and is still, surprisingly, an insider's tip.

Today, my wife and I had an amazing time at the Ronald Reagan Library. If you've never visited a Presidential Library, definitely do so! No matter what side of the aisle you sit on, it's good to take a moment to see what President's really do in their daily lives as the Commander in Chief (and the road they traveled to get there), and how much they have to devote to their country.
We also were able to walk through the traveling Lincoln exhibit. Amazing to see the actual blood-stained pillow Lincoln laid his head on and took his dying breaths, one of the three remaining top hats, amazing unseen photos, and so much more!
Sometimes, I just realize how much of a geek I am, and how much I love history!

The Never-ending Sentence
Much like it's friend the Never-ending Story this follows the same twist. Except one thing. You must include the first and the last word of your sentence, or sentences (3 max), that the previous poster has posted before you. For example I post, "The man named Bill walked into town". Then I say; Rubber and Hammer. The next person must use either Rubber or Hammer as their first word, and end the sentence with the other word I said. Simple enough. Have fun.

Basically, I've been creeping on the forums/blogs/everything else here for quite a while. I live in a very strange place. Orlando, FL is definitely part of the south, but there are so many cultures here, either by emigration or vacation, so the variety of people keeps this city from the fate of so many other southern cities. However, 20 miles out and you can bet there's a church on every street corner. It's a weird place for sure. Quietly liberal. I'm very lucky to have called Orlando my home in an otherwise very red region.
Anyways, I grew up in a Christian household. Barely went to church though, that may have helped me ask more questions than the average 9 year old regarding religion. I always wondered why mine was the correct one. What made Christianity more valid than Buddhism? Or paganism? Why did everyone [that I knew] assume the Bible was right when there are facts that are so blatantly wrong? How could I trust a book that said the sun was made for the earth and mentioned talking snakes? No one could ever answer my questions, so I decided to make my own philosophical decisions. Studying international relations and cultures throughout high school and into college, I started to very much dislike the violence that almost always resulted from religion. Why can't my two gay best friends get married? Why must the default position in the US be "we are all children under the same god" (per Romney last night)? I have respect for other people, I have integrity, dignity, therefore I can trust myself with my own moral decisions.
I've come to find it to be very frustrating being an atheist in America these days. My family is mostly hardcore Republican and ANY mention of liberalism makes their heads explode. They seriously believe that Obama is a Muslim and from Africa. They seriously believe that he is evil and hates America. And they seriously believe that atheism automatically means that someone cannot be trusted and has no moral compass. Yet, they tell me all the time how proud they are that I'm the first in the family to graduate with honors from a university and attempt to go Ivy league for graduate school. But, god forbid that I bring up my distaste for religion and all hell breaks loose. Apparently, I've been exposed to too much "liberal propaganda" from college and thus have been brainwashed by the machine. I can't take it.
Just thought I'd share a bit of my back story. I really enjoy reading the discussions here and am very impressed by all this intellectual discourse. Keep it up!
By the way, my name is Jennifer!
Better to have your brain washed than to have it full of religious grime and grease. I imagine the ad homs are just a knee jerk response. Probably a bit o' the ol' cognitive dissonance going on there: they know you're not a gullible sheep, but accepting that you reject their beliefs on reasonable grounds is too uncomfortable. Then again, I could be way off base.
I think everyone has to find their own way of navigating people's reflexive and bigoted rejection of their atheism or non-belief. I've got my methods, but I'll admit that some comments still get under my skin pretty deep every now and then (although I encounter religiosity less and less as my life progresses).
I take it grad school is still on the horizon? Hope the application goes well.
Also, nice twin reflex. Been seeing a bit of a 2 1/4 square format revival with the film enthusiasts these days.
Lol... wow... other than where you live, our situations are practically the same. It took me a while longer to slough off religion, but yeah... my family is uber hardcore, far-right, Christian-conservative. I had a fairly decent conversation with my mom the other night; it was mainly about how each of us feel now that we disagree on just about everything under the sun. I've felt sad they can't really, really be proud of me since I became atheist. Yes, my mom is proud of my "wordly" accomplishments, but... I feel like she should be proud she raised a free-thinker who fought her way out of indoctrination. Alas. She can only worry that I'm going to Hell and isn't able to appreciate the hard-won conclusion I came to.
Anyway... good luck in your neck of the diverse, yet strangely southern woods. :)
When you figure out the riddle to getting Mom to stop fretting about our hellbound status be sure to let me know. :^ )
Welcome, creeper.
I am not in your position but if I was, I would not expect my family to appreciate me for my atheism and my dissent of religion or my liberal 'outside of the box' thinking. If they do appreciate you for things outside of religious issues then you are getting more from your family than some other atheists would get.
That's why sites like these are created, so you can appreciated for who you are. And maybe some day you can meet other fellow people like you in your area.
Ah, the whole college ruined you sentiment. Just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. Maybe this Daily Show clip will at least give you a laugh.
Welcome Jen, just don't creep here - fling your arms wide open - shout - (lack of respect from your family sucks) but say what you will. Here, it is all good, the place to vent and purge, with a bunch of think alikes.
@Jennifer - RE: "I've been exposed to too much 'liberal propaganda' from college and thus have been brainwashed by the machine. I can't take it."
What worries me, are kids UNlike you, who haven't figured it out, once they get out into the world. Many will stay in their comfort zones, with those who think as they do, but of those who go on to college, with all of their theist ideas and run into facts, and into others who believe differently, either there are going to be some eyes opened (and hopefully, minds) or there are going to be some feelings hurt.
I recall in 7th grade Biology class, the teacher asked the question, "How many ribs do humans have?" - as usual, I shot my hand up, was called upon, and gave the right answer, but because of my religious upbringing, I quickly added that men have one less than women, because Adam had had a rib taken out to make Eve. The teacher looked at me with a sad smile, which I've since learned to interpret as, "You poor, deluded idiot --" having seen it a number of times since then, and he informed me, and the rest of the class as well, that all humans have the same number of ribs.
But I too, in elementary school was questioning my mom as to all of the different religions of the world, and how we could possibly know we had the right one. "We just do." was the only answer I could ever get.
My active Christian family (spouse and my parents) criticism and worries of atheism have gone from vocal to silent once I put the burden on them to explain and justify their immoral religious views. It's just simple questions that they should easily be able to answer and justify. Try it. Now they are the ones carrying this pillar of immoral views that they don't wish to discuss because it's embarrassing.
The one that really silence my father was – "would you ever want to cast me into hell if I stopped loving you or I didn't accept you as my father?" - Because that is exactly what Christianity entails. You must believe and accept that if you are a Christian. You must accept and approve of this dictator that demands your love and acceptance and if you refuse it- you will burn in hell forever. This is love? So put the burden on them. Because the burden is on them- They just don't know it yet.
For me, it was when I was about 7. I took a good long look at Santa Claus and God and decided that they seemed like the same thing! I never gave it serious thought, though, until I was out of college. From then until now (I'm 77), the evidence has kept piling up: Santa Claus and God? Same thing.
Jennifer, WELCOME to the land of those whose parents think we're going to burn in hell! My family is like yours and Cara's and I assume Ed's...in fact in May of this year my son, who I unwittingly allowed to be brainwashed by my parents before I became an an atheist, decided that because I am 'living in sin' with a man (I'm a woman and not married), and am obviously not living according to God's will, we can no longer have unsupervised visits with the grandsons--who adore us as much as we adore them. We were told that, essentially, we're 'worse than crack addicts' because, since the boys obviously love us so much now, when they're older, we might influence them to the point that they, too, end up burning in hell. My son insists that he's not worried about sexual abuse, that our time together in no way will be decreased (just supervised) (Huh??).
This event was unbelievably overwhelming to me since I'm a pretty new atheist (2 years) and hadn't 'come out' (in fact I'm not all the way out)--my family just thinks I'm sinful and stupid (despite being successful professionally with 3 successful children). My 88 year old mother got in the mix, forcing a discussion I was hoping never happened--pointing out to her how excruciating it is to know that my own mother can't really be proud of me so we can't ever be really close--like someone on here said--she's proud of my accomplishments but thinks there is something in me or my own stubborness that is causing me to reject Christ and therefore will burn in hell forever. So here I sit in South Carolina, with a family full of Rush Limbaugh lovers, Fox News, born again, leading others to Santa Claus I mean Jesus, creationists--and it's much harder than I thought it would be. This site is a soft place to fall (now watch a troll say something smartass). I never realized how 'bad' things really were. But even with all of that, having been raised a fundie, I'm soooooo thankful that I'm 'here' and not 'there' anymore!

text: 4 A Great Chance to Play 1 and 3 AgainBritanga | 23/04/2013 | See all Britanga's reviews (18)Devil May Cry for those not familiar with it is an action/adventure game in which demon hunter Dante takes on multiple enemies as stylishly as possible with his guns, sword and other weapons he picks up along the way as well as some Resident Evil style puzzle solving.Great for its time and it has been copied by many since. This HD pack includes the original 3 games with some inconsistent HD shine mainly with the cut scenes but still retains its fast paced gameplay and overall fun.The camera is still fixed but you get used to it (the third sometimes lets you change the camera) and it is still quite challenging. The second game is the weakest link though since it was a terrible game and holds up the worst out of the three, the first is still great and the third is the special edition that lets you play as Virgil, Dantes brother.Overall it's worth it for one and three but play two at your own risk as it really isn't very good even though you get to play as the Lucia character as well. It is the first time they have been released on Xbox so it's aa added bonus for the uninitiated.

Join HulaCross this Sunday!
Written by Administrator Wednesday, 06 July 2011 11:30
Come on out and join us for our July HulaCross! The action is going to be hot and heavy once again as our drivers take it to the dirt! Plus, we've got Moto-X!
May Hula-X Results! Get ready for June 12th!
Written by Administrator Thursday, 09 June 2011 19:39
Hello HulaCrossers!
It was another fantastic weekend on a track that was made for speed and huge jumps! Our fellow competitor, Robert Young, was the creator of May's track configuration...with wide open turns, huge straights, and a brand new double-danger jump! This jump gave our racers a chance to pick their poison as they either went for the tall, cresting dirt jump or the lower but more damaging log jump! The turns were so wide, we had 3 to 4 cars across in some areas, which proved for some very exciting side-by-side racing. In addition to HulaCross, we also had some spectacular special events in the form of Rally Rigs and the always satisfying, Demoliton Derby!
The day started off with a photo & video frenzy as we welcomed a new host of media volunteers...I'd like to welcome Larry Johnson, Teddy Biesecker, Nick Latulip to the team and thank them for taking the time to come out and help record all of this. We've got some great photos already up, and some incredible footage coming soon! For now, please click on the Photos tab on the navigation bar above to view our gallery of photos on Facebook. We put up at the minimum, 200 photos from every event up on this page. Check it out and enjoy all the great action!
As the competitors lined up for the first minutes of practice, we had a great new field of competitors at the table. We had over 30+ entrants for the event, including Joyn Reyno, Brad & Peter Hook, Carey Nakagawa, Rene Cadiz, Glenn Matas Jr., Kevin Miyamoto, John Schuman, Chauncy Pia, Tatum Bautista, and the Young family. Also on hand and pushing the pedal to the floor from the get-go was Bungi Grace, fresh off his deployment. We'd like to thank him for his service and also give him a big "WOW" on some of the huge jumps he pulled off. He tortured his truck literally, and had several damaging, solid impacts that resulted in having to pull out for repairs. The crowd loved every bit of it.
Mentioned previously, we had several new competitors driving our Hulabeaters. For the unknowing, we rent junkyard beaters for $200...this includes your run card of $50, which basically means we rent the entire vehicle for $150. Now to fill you in, these are straight from the junkyard, heading for the scrap-heap cars...so this means that you can go all out in the car as much as you'd like to...whether you make it to the end of the day running a beater like this is a luck of the draw.
Regardless, it's a car, and you're allowed to beat the snot out of it however you would like to. We had about 5 rentals out on the track...sad to say, only one of them made it to the finals, but before that there was some impressive racing going on with them. Most notable was Brad Hook who literally made a Saturn fly on his first jump off the table top. In addition, a Cadillac ended up being one of the surprising rentals of the day. Although it looked like a boat, you couldn't miss some of the spectacular, smoke-filled carnage that behemoth laid out.
Moving on directly into the Time Attack portion of HulaCross, we've noticed that the field has really started to close-up in regard to their times. Some of the earlier events had huge swathes of over 30 seconds difference...we're happy to report that even with the beaters on hand, that time gap has come down to around 20 seconds for the last place finisher. And even with the seriously different amount of vehicles we have on-hand, the faster in the groups are within 1-5 seconds. That's pretty tight for a mud-filled course that's slippery and hard to garner traction on.
Leading the charge in a newly-modified Subaru STi that is starting to look straight out of Mad Max, Mike Ward once again proved that he is the man to beat. Blasting ahead with the fastest time ever recorded on our modifiable HulaCross track, Mike pulled out a 35.24 second run that absolutely demolished any chance the other competitors had at taking the 1st place podicum. Ahead by nearly a full 3 seconds, Mike is setting the standard each time he comes out, and we're happy to see he's in it to win it. The guy even comes out to our Sand Drag events...we need more people like him!
And luckly for us, we do...Davin Kubo destroyed TWO...yes, count'em TWO vehicles on our course this event. Dav went out in his normally dependable Subaru WRX and grenaded it after only a few laps. Then he pulled out his RallyCross prepped Toyota All-Trac and destroyed it as well. Luckily for him, Peter Crouch came to his rescue and provided a donor car, Peter's "new" Subaru Legacy. Dav is an accomplished and frequent competitor...he races anything and anywhere and his driver skill proved it by taking an unfamiliar car and placing second with a 38.09! Incredible.
Continuing the dedicated trend was Team Randy's NAPA Service. Landon Paras pulled third place with an amazing display of smoke and sound as his radically altered turbo Integra tore up the track with a time of 38.17, just barely missing second place by a fraction. Randall Char followed up with another successful Time Attack in his mirror image #351 Integra with a time of 39.44. More and more, it's becoming increasiingly obvious that AWD or FWD are the way to go...these guys are putting out the fast laps each and every time.
Peter Crouch once again showed his mettle by returning to the field with his previously mentioned Subaru. He showed his worth busting out an incredibly quick 39.56 proving if you have a choice of weapons, you can't go wrong with a Subie. Cy Thomas, a stalwart competitor, wowed the crowd with his trademark, mud-throwing powerslides. Cy's skill behind the wheel is clearly evident and his style of driving is loved by the crowd...it almost reminds myself of Drift Session. Balls to the wall, full-on power drifting the turns, Cy threw out a 41.84 to set the standard for the RWD vehicles.
Next in line with the fastest times were a mixture of old and new entries that peppered the field with varying times, including Jayce young, frequent competitor Andrew Char in his blazing fast Suzuki Sidekick, Tatum Bautista, Chauncy Pia, and one of the best looking vehicles driven in the field by Steven Chong. Gilbert Valdez continually improves his VW Corrado...each time it comes out, it's faster and more impressive looking. John Flores proved a Kia Sophia can compete and the rest of the field threw in spectacular times that set the upcoming heats for Wheel2Wheel.
Wheel2Wheel was beyond exciting...it was incredible. We had 4 separate heats at this event, including what looks like the beginning of an all truck category. Once we pick up more entrants, we'll be looking forward to breaking up the field into different categories, but for now, the constant action will definitely work. For the uninformed, our intial heats run 5 laps with the final main consisting of 12. We took the top 3 vehicles from each heat to make up the final main.
For the first heat, Mike Ward again proved his dominance. We have got to give it to this guy...he takes a licking, and keeps on ticking. After getting beat-up in the last event, Mike came back with what looked almost like a battering ram (it isn't, but I have to make the big shiny comparison) and a protected exterior of welded metal that looked straight outta the A-Team. Taking the initial lead after a shotgun start, he pulled away and was uncatchable. Landon Paris came through the field smoothly, staying ahead of third place, Peter Crouch, for the entire race.
Peter was able to stay firmly in third while avoiding the fierce battle for 4th. Randall Char pulled out an upset against Cy Thomas after trading places twice within the 5 lap race. Randall tried valiantly to catch up to Peter, but was unable to due to Peter's AWD power. Jayce Young really showed everyone how to drive a Caddy as he punished it continuously throughout the event until finally finishing last. In a huge Caddy, you can't really ask for more than just being able to finish the race but it certainly was something to watch out for.
The second heat brought the mid-pack group together including some of the heavy hitters, Tatum Bautista and David Rodrigues in their Jeep Cherokees. This was truly the most exciting heat race of them all. Tatum immediately jumped out in front of Andrew Char, who was in his comparitively miniscule Suzuki Sidekick. This thing looks amazing as he's fully modified the vehicle...with radiator and battery mounted in the back and not even a hood to cover the engine. Although small, Andrew threw the thing around like it was a nitrious powered slot car and took Tatum out in the third corner, passing him with his quick and nimble ride for 1st place.
Tatum Bautista had a frustrating race...what started out as a strong race for him eventually was eroded as he was given a pit by David Rodrigues who then took second place until the end of the race. Tatum went on to spin once more within the same lap against the machinations of Brad Hook who once again helped Tatum go around the world in a quick 180 degrees. John Flores put in one of the more spectacular drives as he lost two places on the start but slowly battled his way up to third place after several mis-steps by his competitors. His Kia Sophia once again proved that FWD do great on this course.
Gilbert Valdez was in third place at the initial start of the race, but took a massive jump that allowed David Rodrigues and John Flores to capitalize on his position overtaking him in the first corner. Gilbert was able to make ground reclaiming his lost positions as well and finished 4th in this heat, just missing making it to the final main.
New to the event were Brad Hook and Chauncy Pia who provided some amazing thrills. Brad Hook went absolutely crazy in his #66 Toyota Camry and even battled it out against David Rodrigues and John Flores for a time until giving way to Gilbert and John. I've honestly never seen a Camry get that high up in the air on a jump and he was incredible to watch...next time, we'll tie the battery down better as it eventually looked like someone was rolling dice underneath the hood of his devastated Camry. Chauncy put in an admirable race but had to retire on the last lap. This was truly exciting and one of the best races we've had at the track thus far.
The third heat pitted some more big boys as Robert Young faced off against Kelii Pontin, both in heavy-weight trucks. Robert Young's ride was absolutely monstrous and dominated the competition from the beginning. Kelii simply couldn't get around the beast as he held on for a second place finish in his superbly prepared rally truck. Although quite exciting in the beginning stages, Bungi Grace simply couldn't get the power down long enough to stay make any moves on Kelii. Bungi did provide some incredible jumps for the crowd which went absolutely wild on every huge chunk of air he took.
Bungi was followed by #64 Carey Nakagawa in his white Honda CRV, which happily got through the event without much damage. He mentioned that it was currently a daily driver which made myself cringe a bit initially. #57 John Schuman came out in an absolutely cool looking beast of a Camaro with some big, meaty rear tires. Geoffrey Grace did amazing for being a kid driving against a field of grown-ups...it's always a treat to see him drive. By the time he becomes legal, he'll be a threat!
For the final heat, it was as if we had just put together a RWD Truck category. The race was destined to be a peculiar one as Glenn Matas Jr jumps the gun early, but the other competitors fail to even attempt to fire back. Kilika Bell, number zero2 hit the initial jump hard putting himself slightly out of position for the first corner, allowing both #77 Shawn & MK1 Universal Gaming's Javin Young to take second and third place respectively. This was not to last though as Kilika impacted Shawn's front tire forcing Shawn out of the competition with a flat. Shawn went on to limp around the track until the end of the second lap where he took it to the pits.
Kilika must have damaged something severely as his vehicle immediately took on a much slower pace before finally petering out over the log jump. Although Kilika pulled third, he was unable to move foward to the main heat due to his damaged vehicle giving 1st and 2nd to Glenn and Javin respectively. Javin put on a show though by passing Glenn on the back straight before making a crucial mistake...he came around the last turn way too fast and impacted the center berm! Being stuck for several moments gave Glenn the chance to retake his position and put on a respectable lead to finish.
So the stage was set for the final main...12 laps...12 cars in what is now becoming known as The Eliminator. The final main is a grueling race where the toughest vehicles make it to the end. The drivers pull numbers for their position, and then flip a coin to determine whether they're ran in normal or reverse order. The field started off with 1st through 12 being Glenn Matas Jr followed by Andrew Char.
Due to the draw, some of the key front runners were mired in the middle of the group...Mike Ward was in 8th place followed by Landon Paras in 9th, and John Flores in 10th. The first lap is where the race was decided...almost immediately! Glenn stumbled off the starting line, allowing Andrew Char to jet off into 1st place. Glenn made a mistake, forcing the entirety of the group cocooned around him to the outside of turn 1. Mike Ward, in a stroke of brilliance cunningly took advantage taking a tight inside line rocketing himself to 2nd place! It was unbelievable!
Javin felll to 9th place before finally coming in on the 3rd lap. The battle started to rage between Bungi Grace and the zero8 Jeep Cherokee of David Rodrigues. David was able to pass on the first lap and then took the second place until sadly retiring on the 4th lap due to mechanical failure. Kelii Pontin made a grave mistake, spinning on the back striaght on the second lap, allowing several cars to pass. Bungi also suffered mechanical problems after vaulting his truck over the tabletop and landing hard.
Both Peter Crouch and Landon Paras were able to take advantage, and shot up from their respective places to 4th and 5th place on the the second lap. Peter was looking strong until being forced to retire in lap 5 after finally being passed by Landon. John Flores and Chauncy Pia were able to make way as well after the mortally wounded car of Glenn Matas ate a wall and went off on the second lap. MK1, Javin Young, also gave up the gauntlet on lap 3 with a damaged truck. Kelii Pontin was able to make it till the 6th lap before pulling off track as well.
And now, you might have an idea why I'm conspiring to name this The Eliminator. One by one, the vehicles started to break down after the pummeling they received. This caused quite a foul-up as we had to throw several red flags to remove vehicles from the competition course. By the 7th lap there were only 6 cars remaining from an initial field of 12. 6 cars eliminated in 6 laps...woe the carnage!
As we worked to put the pieces back together we were able to start the race off again with Mike Ward in the lead on the 7th lap, followed by Landon Paras and John Flores. Chauncy Pia took up fourth place, followed by Andrew Char and Bungi Grace who was able to come back after a red flag allowed him to swap his blown tire.
The rest of the race was sadly uneventful as the competitors were so strung out that neither had the ability to take another position. Even Landon Paras couldn't catch up to Mike who slowly pulled away. Chauncy put in a valiant effort, but couldn't stay with John Flores as he yet again took another third place win while Chauncy gave ground to Andrew Char on the fourth and final lap.
The final tally was Mike Ward in 1st, Landon Paras in 2nd, and John Flores took the final position of 3rd. Although the main heat was quite frustrating for the field of driver's due to the constant breakdowns, it once again proved to be an enjoyable HulaCross event for our spectators. We can't wait for the next event to be held on June 12th!
But wait, there's more! We also held two dramatic special events! Rally Rigs & the Demoliton Derby! Rally Rigs started things off right with a test phase where we watched them learn and navigate the initial HulaCross course. It was a real treat for the crowd although they were taking it easy during lunchtime portion. Thanks to this "demo" we were able to see the problems with the course and As such, the real race was pushed to the end of the day so we could modify the course.
Once the course was set, the Rally Rigs started off with a "shotgun" start. We lined them up 4 abreast as our flagger, Shawn waved them off to a running start. Literally! With Shawn out of the way, they charged the first jump across the main straight-away. If you've ever wanted to see a Semi 3 feet off the ground in the air, well, you should have come to this event. I have never seen a big rig fly. In fact, at this event, there were tons of first times...and lotsa flying as previously mentioned! It was a spectacular exhibition as they went toe-to-toe for 5 laps. Seeing tons of metal go power-sliding around was definetly a treat.
The finale of the day came with a BANG and a CRUNCH as we kicked off the 7-man (and woman!) demolition derby! The action started off brutally as we lined up 4 cars across from 3 in a oval filled by derelict cars posed as obstacles. Within the first 5 seconds, two cars, the #213 and #22 car came together with a serious rear-ending. Both drivers impacted hard and certainly felt it the next day.
Several cars bit the dust very early on in the game, frustrating their drivers, but such is the luck of the Junkyard Demolition Derby. #213 was out after a few moments of the heavy hit. #22, Chad Ryan, did a huge number on #00 smashing the entire right side into a concave position. Cheri Crouch in the #26, Peter's brave wife and the only female competitor, took a nasty hit to the driver's side (which isn't allowed!) but kept on ticking. #187 then conked out after a few minor altercations and a severe frontal smash by Cheri.
#00 again took another hard blow, damaging the front tire. It wasn't until he came around a car obstacle that the tire fell off the rim of the FWD Toyota and doomed his chances of winning. Personally, I felt bad for the guy, because he had a strong engine, but couldn't get any traction due to the blown tire! Cheri once again, finished another car off as she rammed him into the obstacle car.
From then on it was an immediate war of attrition as cars gave out one by one until there stood 3 hardy champions remaining. Jayce Young in the #11A Caddy, Cheri Crouch in the #26 Buick, and the #22 Civic driven by Chad Ryan. Cheri took some of the hardest hits, and was at one point absolutely smashed into a wall by Jayce in a brutal forced collision that sent her climbing up the concrete barrier. Immediately following this crash, Jayce was rear-ended hard by the #22. Chad's rear trunk was absolutely flat. It looked like someone dropped it 100 feet onto it's back end. Heck, it looked like the hatchback version of the Civic!
The Caddy seemed nigh invincible for a majority of the time. Chad repeatedly made use of smashing the other two cars with his front end, which although caused some seriously devastating hits, he eventually paid the price with a dead and battered vehicle. The trick in the Demolition Derby is to protect your engine bay!
In the end, there were only two left...Cheri vs Jayce, who played hide and seek before coming together in a brutal rear-end smash for the both of them. The Buick had absolutely nothing for a back-end at this point...and the Caddy looked done! But Jayce was able to pull away, and head to safety, or so he thought before being rammed from behind causing the big Caddy to die out along the back wall.
As one, the crowd counted him down as we called to see if he was out...Cheri gave him two hearty hits for good measure and with a wave it was over! With a thrilling charge back to the crowd, Cheri Crouch waved her hand and emerged victorious. As she got out of the car, she was greeted by her husband, Peter and they hugged. Cheri looked absolutely pumped...and honestly, to me, it looked almost as if she had that flight or fight thing going on. Once she got out of the car, it was obvious she brought the fight, over the flight! For her efforts she won a hearty purse. After calling her the next day to check up on her, I was happy to hear she was fine and in great spirits, if a little sore.
And that ended this spectacular event for the month of May. Next up is the June 12th HulaCross where we introduce some crazy moto-x fans who are going to take it to the track for exhibition run in what should be an exciting special event. In addition, a group of popular drag racers are going to show the Hula-X regulars how it's done with the Drag Racers Hula-X Exhibition!
That's this coming Sunday, on June 12th from 10AM to 4:30PM at Kalaeloa Raceway Park! Drivers, gates open at 8AM for you! Come join us in what is sure to be another action packed event! For now, a big mahalo to the winners and the rest of our competitors for putting on a fantastic show for our spectators. Thank you once again!

Kicking off with the anthem "Punk Cock is Rock," Blowfly and his band of hardcore deviants take you on a journey through the punk standards. The Ramones, the Stooges, and the Clash are put through the XXX porno filter, emerging as "I Wanna Be Fellated," "I Wanna Fuck Your Dog," and "Should I Lay This Big Fat Ho." No legend, dead or alive, is sacred: Punk Rock Party crasher Jello Biafra helps lampoon his own legacy with two "R. Kelly in Cambodia" renditions. But wait- there's more! The skewering extends to other bands like Devo, Black Flag, Billy Idol, Circle Jerks, Turbonegro, and Offspring, ensuring both OG punks and new school poseurs get equal punishment.
Blowfly's Punk Rock Party is the stuff wet dreams are made of. After all, what's more punk than screwin' with the sacred calf? The cd includes 6 clean edits!
"At the risk of incriminating myself or others in vulnerable positions, it is probably best to eschew any explanations as to how and under what circumstances I first encountered the man known as Blowfly. Leave it be said that listening to Blowfly is most likely not something you do in public. It is probably best, if you own any Blowfly, to keep the CDs in a locked briefcase in your closet, bringing them out only under the strictest confidence and with the closest of friends.To say merely that Blowfly sings dirty songs is an understatement akin to saying that Cypress Hill merely smokes a little bit of weed, or that DMX has a few traffic violations. No one approaches Blowfly in terms of sheer filth. Compared to Blowfly, Too $hort and the 2 Live Crew are rank amateurs, a bunch of kids spitting their first cuss words behind the gas station. The fact is that Blowfly has been rapping dirty since before there even was rap, over thirty years now. Indefatigable, inscrutable, lewd, and indescribably vulgar, Blowfly is less a man than a force of nature. I ask you, as disgustingly puerile as modern rappers can be, has there ever been anyone capable of naming a song "Girl, Let Me Cum In Your Mouth", and then making said song an upbeat funky party jam?It is not merely that Blowfly has no shame, it is that the very concept of shame simply does not exist in his universe. Not only that, but the joy with which he sings his filthy songs is contagious. It would be incorrect to accuse Blowfly of sexism, because more than anything his tracks are about the joy of sex, not demeaning women. Intelligent people can differ as to whether a track such as "Too Fat To Fuck" is offensive, but if you listen to the song, he's not discriminating against fat people so much as merely offering helpful instructions for those contemplating sexual relations with the morbidly obese. Listening to Blowfly, in some respects, elicits almost a poignant sensation, because his pro-sex attitude is so clearly a product of a long gone pre-AIDS era. There's little misogyny here, just lust. The crucial difference is that women in Blowfly songs are usually always regarded as equals with whom to bargain and cajole, and very rarely mere objects or "sperm recepticals", as is so often the case with blatantly anti-woman rappers such as 50 Cent. Blowfly loves women, because if it weren't for women he wouldn't have anything to fuck (except dogs, but we'll get to that in a minute).But still, such admittedly half-hearted caveats can only go so far in terms of preparing the listener for the sheer amount of degrading filth on display here. This is Blowfly's second album for Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label. As incongruous a pairing as that may seem, it's not that strange when you remember that the late Wesley Willis recorded for Biafra as well. But at least Willis had the excuse of chronic schizophrenia to explain his weirdness; Blowfly is just plain crazy.Punk Rock Party is, as the title might imply, a punk album. Backed by a loose group of punk irregulars, the self-proclaimed Porno Freak runs rampant through the punk rock canon, giving his inimitable interpretation to some of the most famous punk tracks of all time. Like a sex-obsessed "Weird" Al, Blowfly turns the Ramones "I Wanna Be Sedated" into "I Wanna Be Fellated", and Black Flag's "TV Party" becomes "VD Party". When you get down to it, there's really only so much a critic can say about an album like this. If you know who Blowfly is, you probably already know whether or not you'll get a kick out of him turning the Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go" into "Should I Fuck This Big Fat Ho". The playing is competent and the band seems to be enjoying themselves, but really, the main attraction is Blowfly's growling rasp. It's the kind of voice you'd expect to hear attached to a trench-coated pervert scouring the city park for young girls to flash, and as such is perfect for the material presented.I have to admit to being a Blowfly aficionado (perhaps not something I should readily admit in public?), so I got quite a kick out of Punk Rock Party. I mean, seriously, who else could sell a line like "I Wanna Fuck Your Dog" (from the Stooges track of a similar name)? Biafra himself pops up to help out with "R. Kelly in Cambodia" (no guesses, really now), Blowfly's commentary on Kelly's never ending legal quagmire. They manage to stick an O'Jay's number in there somewhere ("Suck and Fuck Train"), and there are even a couple of original numbers, the aptly-titled "Punk Cock is Rock" and "Scumbag Fucker". I must admit the highlight of the album, for me at least, is his treatment of Devo's "Whip It", transformed into (you can probably guess) "Suck It"-I mean, come on, "Whip It" was already about sex! Taking a song that is already about sex and making it even more about sex-that takes talent. There is no such thing as subtext or subtlety in Blowfly's world, and the results are a glory (hole?) to behold.The only real puzzle in regards to Punk Rock Party is just why the hell they bothered to include six radio edits. I mean, seriously, is replacing the world "fuck" with "lay" in "Should I Fuck This Big Fat Ho" really going to trick any radio programmers? I don't see "I Wanna Be Fellated" becoming a crossover hit on TRL anytime soon."- Pop Matters
"The bad ass Blowfly returns with yet another great parody album and his second for alternative/punk label Alternative Tentacles. Clarence Reid (aka Blowfly) has covered just about every style of popular music in his nearly twenty albums, from soul, oldies, rap, disco, pop and more, all with his hilariously twisted and immature sex themed lyrics. While his last album, FAHRENHEIT 69, parodied a classic punk rock album cover, BF and his young crew have taken to covering a whole album of mostly punk rock songs on his latest, PUNK ROCK PARTY. Once again, the whole release is pure sleazy fun and it helps so much more when he's covering songs that one is already such a fan of. Black Flag's 'TV Party' cranks out as 'VD Party' and the Ramones 'I wanna be sedated' is now 'I want to be fellated'.... The playing is heavy and solid on this release yet a few of the tracks are slightly slower than the originals, perhaps to allow Reid's perverted pronunciations to come out clearly. PUNK ROCK PARTY is now my favorite Blowfly album as many of its 'victims' have been huge favorites of mine for many, many years and the whole thing 'rocks out with its cock out' so to speak. The punk rock theme may turn off older fans that enjoy the more R&B stylings of most of his older albums, yet this surely will build the almighty 'Fly legions of newer and younger fans."- Film Fanaddict Magazine

Mad Money
Drama, Suspense/Thriller, Comedy
Bridget Cardigan is shocked to learn that she is on the verge of losing her home and comfortable upper middle class lifestyle when her husband Don is downsized from his job. Armed only with a decades old English degree and years as a dedicated mother and corporate wife, Bridget is forced into the unfamiliar labor market with no job skills. Finally, she accepts the only position she can find--janitor at the Federal Reserve Bank. The one-time suburban mom soon discovers she has more in common with her new co-workers than she thought. Bridget forges an unexpected bond with Nina, a hard-working single mom with two kids to raise, and Jackie, an exuberant free spirit with nothing to lose. Caught up in a system that underestimates their talents and keeps their dreams just out of reach, Bridget, Nina and Jackie set out to even the score. After a lifetime of playing by the rules, the three devise a plan to smuggle soon-to-be destroyed currency out of the supposedly airtight Reserve. As the unlikely crime syndicate amasses piles of cash, it looks like they have pulled off the perfect crime--until a minor misstep alerts the authorities. With more money than they know what to do with, the women are pushed to the limits of their ingenuity to stay one step ahead of the law!

I've been trying to recall a good example of how much of a goody-two-shoes I was during my grade-school days. Kids called me "the A girl," in second grade I wrote a short story about a botanist, and once during a 7th-grade-wide trivia competition, I avoided elimination by successfully (and accurately, ahem) convincing the MC (my math teacher, I believe) that a peanut is, in fact, a legume. Take that, coolness!
Try as I might, though, I can't think of anything nerdy enough to compare to the eight-page dossier presented by my friend and Le LAB bartender Gabrielle to the panel of judges at Montreal Bar vs. Chef, her completely unrequired, written dissertation for the cocktail that, as it turned out, took first place. (Eight pages = first place. Must remember that for next time.)
In the weeks before the competition, Gabrielle told me she was considering a cocktail on the theme of Quebec ingredients. I'd actually toyed with the idea, too, until it became apparent that, beyond maple syrup and certain fruits (Quebec strawberries NOM), I didn't know enough to put them to best use. Really, anything I could've come up with would've been put to shame by Gabrielle's creation.
I think it's clear that Gab won because her cocktail was elegantly simple in presentation yet wildly complex in taste, with an impressively reasoned philosophy behind each ingredient:
Appleton Reserve Rum: Because they were sponsoring the contest, a-doy.
Gin Ungava: Made near Montreal in the touristy Eastern Townships using local herbs, "it brings to my cocktail that which the rum cannot: freshness, herbaceousness, acidity. Complementing the rum, it cannot offer a more beautiful contrast."
San Perrino Vermouth, a red-apple vermouth made just outside the city at la Maison des Futailles: "This aperitif is soft on the palate with a beautiful acidity and depth… It brings a balance between my spirits."
Labrador tea, aka Hudson's Bay or Indian tea, another Canadian specialty: "I wanted to reinforce the astringency of my recipe, and at the same time, balance it out."
Maple water: "To sweeten my recipe, I chose to use maple. I made a maple water (much less sweet than the syrup). I wanted to create a relatively dry cocktail, while maintaining a subtle maple flavor."
Lemon juice: "To achieve the perfect balance."
Homemade apple bitters: "I chose Angostura bitters as a base because I appreciate the character and depth it brings to the rum."
Clearly, Gab gets an A++ (or a check-plus-plus, remember those?) — I mean, she had different ingredients going on down to the quarter-ounce. And, save the Angostura, she really did manage to keep all of her ingredients, alcoholic ou non, local.
In actuality, Gab gets a trip for two to Jamaica, which was the first-place prize. And, of course, when the A++ girl throws off the curve for the rest of us underachievers, what we get is homework. So pay attention, class! This recipe's involved. You may have to stay late.
The Antithesis
1 ounce Appleton Reserve Rum
1/2 ounce Gin Ungava
1/4 ounce San Perrino vermouth
1/2 ounce Labrador tea
1/4 ounce maple water
1 dash freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 dashes homemade apple bitters
Apple slices, to garnish
Put all ingredients in a chilled mixing glass, add ice and stir thoroughly. Serve in a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a pair of apple slices.
Tasting Notes
To make the homemade apple bitters, I'm gonna give it to you straight from the future Jamaican tourist's mouth, which came out of said mouth in the form of milliliters. (Convert to ounces here.): Mix together 100 ml Angostura bitters, 45 ml apple brandy (she used Michel Jodoin), 30 ml Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel-Aged Bitters, 30 ml Absinthe 55 and 15 ml smoked bitters. Cut up three-quarters of a Granny Smith apple into small cubes and add to the mixture. Gently mash apples with a pestle. Let steep for three weeks in a dark place. Filter before using.
Making maple water: You're basically making a maple simple syrup by boiling down equal parts water and pure, granulated maple sugar. Gab told me she also steeped some juniper berries while this mixture cooked down. Because she is an extra credit-bogarting geek. Just kidding.

14 February 2012
State of the social media agency 2012 by InvestInSocial
There's never a shortage of lists when it comes to social media, particularly those listing and ranking social media agencies. InvestInSocial (a directory from 'social media education company' socialfresh) has released its 'State of the social media agency' infographic.
The data is recorded from over 920 (well 933 when we just looked) companies that work within the social media space, 555 of which are social media agencies (as of 13 February 2012). The social directory, created in February 2011, says that almost 1 out of 3 of these 555 social media agencies are based outside of the US (72% state side, and 28% through the rest of the world).
The State of the Social Media Agency infographic shows that less than 50% of staff at a traditional agency work on social media, and more than 50% of staff at a social media agency work on social media.
Let's look at that again:
< 50% of staff work on social media at a traditional agency
> 50% of staff work on social media at a social media agency
It's not clear where this information is sourced from, as it's not an option to add this when adding your company to the database. Regardless, it's a pretty vague statement to make. Even if these figures were not stabs in the dark, it wouldn't be surprising to learn than less than half the professionals at a traditional agency work on social media. Although unquestionably an important part of their business, it's possibly not the core part of the service offering. Also, many of the larger 'traditional' agencies acquire smaller social media agencies, or bring specialist teams in-house.
If a social media agency has less than 50% of its staff working on social media then it needs to seriously sit down and review its proposition. If not social media, what are the other services offered by a social media agency?
It will certainly be interesting to see if and how these agencies evolve; will some continue to be swallowed up by traditional agencies, will it be a combination of the two, or a range of other factors that shapes this element of agency land? Many PR, web design, SEO and similar agencies all of a sudden became pure social media agencies once the buzzword took force, so there will undoubtedly be another evolution of agencies once this wave passes.
Back to the infographic, it has a segment on the 'most requested strengths for social media agencies', which a list of categories is compared against "monthly searches." Presumably it means keyword referrals from a search engine to an agency's website, but it is not entirely clear and there is no further explanation here on how the definition of the term or how the data was collated. It could also mean the core services that the agency defines itself when adding the company – as those two fields (from the infographic to the database form) match.
Either way, it makes for an interesting look. It's no surprise that Facebook services top the league table, however it was surprising to see B2B strategy being the next popular with B2C in last place.
And, the largest social media agency according to InvestInSocial's data? Dachis Group lead with 250 employees and Edelman is the largest of the traditional agencies with 450 out of its 4000 strong team working on social media. Given the study and the agencies listed are largely US-based, more additions may assist in producing more data that can help paint a richer picture of what is transpiring globally and maybe even give an indication of what may unfold.
Are you a budding social media evangelist, entrepreneur, expert, guru and/or maven practitioner wanting to peddle your wares, how can InvestInSocial help? Until now, it's been largely social media agencies and a few online digital communities creating lists of top 10, 20 or more social media agencies on blogs, helped with a huge dose of self-promoting pats on the back of clicky groups. With the continual rise of the of social media agency this type of ranking may become more of league table as both agencies and brands try and decipher and distinguish what defines a social media agency (and/or a social media offering within a traditional agency).
Adding your social media agency to InvestInSocial
It's a quick 10-category form to complete at InvestInSocial, quick and painless. The strengths of social media agencies category is limited to six competencies, so choose carefully. Businesses can also add bookmarks and the directory is accompanied by a blog. It's not the only social media ranking resource out there for specialists, there's also Klout and Peer Index used by many an agency, consultancy and freelancer. The question remains how businesses and indeed other agencies whether advertising, marketing, PR or otherwise use and rate them. And, if they do, why?
Regardless of the services of an agency, consultancy and/or freelancer - would the directory become overwhelmed if any user (it's not clear where the lines are) it's allowed to submit its social media blag credentials? How complicated could it become, with every man and his dog a specialist in this arena with such current loose criteria. In the interest of research (ahem), Elemental is here.

The first capital of Brazil is a land of poets and musicians. But it is also a city full of history and culture, with pronounced characteristics at every turn. The mixture of cultures is the greatest symbol of Salvador, whose historic center is a World Heritage Site. The Carnival is the largest cultural event city.
Considered by many as the cultural capital of Brazil, Salvador is a world of cultures that over the centuries has made it unique. The streets in the historic center of Salvador take the visitor to the early days of Brazil's history. Until 1763, Salvador was the capital of the Portuguese Crown in the Americas. Birthplace of great names in music and poetry it is a city that invites you to constant discoveries. The historic center, a city within a city, known as Pelourinho, is considered as World Heritage by UNESCO, which helped restore and maintain the architectural features so characteristic. Take the chance to walk along the cobblestone streets and discover the colorful facades of the colonial buildings and the Lacerda Elevator. It is said that there are 365 churches, one for each day of the year. Be sure to visit the Church and Convent of São Francisco (with a ton of gold in the altar, says the legend) and the Cathedral-Basilica. This cultural tour includes the major museums such as Carlos Costa Pinto Museum, the Museum of Sacred Art from UFBA, the Bahia Art Museum and Abelardo Rodrigues Museum. One of the greatest cultural manifestations of Bahia is the Salvador Carnival considered to be the most popular event in the world, bringing together about 2.7 million people. The festivities last a week and run through the main avenues.

Suppose you were a smartphone app developer with customers who would love to be able to use your product(s) in their cars and could do so without significant driver distraction. You could wear out a lot of metaphorical shoe leather calling on each automaker individually, in each geographic market, and it wouldn't take you long to wonder if there weren't a better way.
Or suppose your job were to help an OEM select and enable smartphone apps. Wouldn't it be nice if you and the apps vendors were all on the same page regarding display standards? Is there a better way?
There isn't a better way at the moment, but the Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) appears to be heading in a good direction, and they believe that in as little as a year an automotive apps infrastructure, including technology and a process for apps certification, could be in place.
Allowing smartphones to work safely and effectively in cars requires a collaborative effort by the smartphone and auto industries, and in the past six months or so the CCC says it has attracted members accounting for about 60 percent of each camp. Two members, Nokia and Alpine, have introduced products – a phone and a head unit, respectively – based on the initial CCC specification. Those products should be available in November.
The CCC also made a significant adjustment in its marketing effort, replacing the rather geekish Terminal Mode with a new name – MirrorLink – and a logo that it hopes consumers will recognize and eventually trust. Last month the CCC released a new spec, 1.1, that will allow smartphones to make use of data from the car, include improvements for Wi-Fi performance, and allow automakers to specify which apps can or cannot work in their vehicles.
CCC managers concede that setting up the app certification process is a huge to-do item and myriad questions remain to be answered, but they note that their smartphone members have been there and done that. It should be interesting to see how well that experience translates. The potential benefits for developers, OEMs and consumers are significant.
