Day two in sunny Copenhagen really came into focus when I realized I was sitting across from a princess, looking at a catwalk of socialites, in a crystal encrusted room at Nimb Hotel in Tivoli Park. What that means is, Copenhagen Fashion Week S/S '14, or CPHFW, is paradise. After breakfast at the hotel of the stars (while they're in Denmark), Skt. Petri, I was taken again to City Hall for a colorful Marimekko show. The brand has done well for itself and will continue to do so with this staunchly Danish collection. And one of the best parts of showing here is that Danes appreciate the Danish things in life: cheerful patterns, androgynous shapes, and fresh faces. A line like this one would most likely get a presentation in New York, simply because of the simplicity of the designs--if the drama of a show does not rely on movement, the clothes should remain still, say the event coordinators of NYFW, trying to buy space and time in a spread-out and packed-in week and a half. Here, only the very Danish and the very innovative are granted shows at all, and only the newest and the loyal stay. This only leaves enough shows to fill three days, if that, and only one or two shows per hour. And this means that each of these shows is pretty special, for one reason or another.
I had some time between Marimekko and the next event, so I took a walk around Tivoli, the second oldest amusement park/"pleasure garden" in the world. (The oldest is also in Denmark.) Tivoli is out of a storybook, perhaps a Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale (this city is also the home of the famous Little Mermaid and her landmark sculpture on the water), with exotic birds roaming around gilded fountains and purple blossoming brush, while a few meters away, roller coasters soar past a tiny China Town, swinging planes flip riders through a cloudless sky, and families climb into rocking gondolas. It was hard to leave, but luckily, MI-NO-RO was showing in the little white castle-like hotel connected to the park, where I was ushered past paparazzi trying to get a shot of Crown Princess of Denmark Mary Elizabeth. The show was sort of a Real Housewives of Copenhagen scene, with socialites apparently very recognizable to half of the front row and everyone behind us, walking in soft leather and Louboutins. The international press may have been left out of the inside model casting, but we weren't unamused by the turnout.
Next was the standout show of the week thus far, Ann Sophie Madsen, with a collection a leather laced up dresses and raver style leg accessories. I know what you're thinking, but you're wrong. In fact, the Danish version of the anime girl streetwear look is not behind the U.S.'s; it's actually ahead of ours, perfecting it in ways overdone NYC and L.A. party girls can only edit for, and using only fine materials, a minimal makeup story, and pointed bangs sure to catch on quicker than cornrows. Speaking of streetwear and of decidedly Danish brands, Wood Wood held their show in the Karlsberg Beer-built sanctuary of Classical and not so Classical Greek sculpture, Glyptoteket, and, as a nod the the setting, used marble printed material for their bike shorts (worn under khaki Bermuda shorts). Kids applauded the new styling ideas brought forth by the brand, and whined on their way out about needing the new signature windbreakers.
Baum und Pferdgarten, Designers Remix and By Malene Birger all had equally grand show spaces, at the National Gallery (which currently holds parts of the bronze, broken down Statue of Liberty series "We The People" by Dahn Vo), Den Blå Planet (the Blue Planet Aquarium), and Palmehaven D'Angleterre (another, even more regal hotel), respectively. Although the massive windows backing the runway at the museum, the wall of manta rays and sharks gliding over the models at the aquarium, and the candlelit dinner with Copenhagen's elite at the hotel threatened to upstage the actual garments on display, these dramatic settings, including the ornate City Hall and Nimb's many chandeliered rooms, spoke of a smallness of clothes--a quieter elegance, present but only subtly represented in each designer's vision. Like a soft-spoken but deeply disturbing Danish film, a truly Danish collection has only a minimal amount of important dialogue. I got the sense today that there is a defined limit of artifice for this trade, as if fashion here knows its place as only a glassy tip on a proportionately gargantuan (and seminal) iceberg of history.

Did Johnny Depp's Entourage Handcuff and Drag a 52-Year-Old Disabled Professor Around Until Her Pants Fell Off?
A 52-year-old disabled woman is suing JOHNNY DEPP, because his entourage essentially TORTURED her . . . literally . . . at an IGGY & THE STOOGES concert in L.A. back in December.
--The woman is anonymous . . . but it doesn't sound like she's one of those crazy people who file insane lawsuits against celebrities, because she's a "medical professor at UC Irvine," which is a college in Orange County.
--Still, her accusation seems too crazy to be true.
--Basically, she claims she had multiple run-ins with Johnny's security in the V.I.P. area. It sounds like these were his personal bodyguards.
--This woman claims Johnny's security: Quote, "Grabbed her from behind . . . bear-hugged her . . . tightly grabbed and restrained both of her wrists . . . [and tried to] wrench her iPhone from her hand."
--They were initially unsuccessful, so they "dragged her" away, and "dropped her to the ground." There, they "pried her iPhone from her hands, one finger at a time." She also claims Johnny "witnessed" all of this, and did nothing.
--But that's not all.
--The woman claims she was able to go back to her husband after her iPhone was stolen, but not for long . . . because the security came back with HANDCUFFS.
--She says they "indicated that they were off-duty police officers," and "apprehended" her. They cuffed her . . . and by holding onto the chain of the handcuffs, they "dragged her on the ground and through the theater."
--In the process, they yanked the chain up several times, quote, "causing severe injuries and trauma to her wrists, arms and body."
--And while she was being dragged around her pants slid off, quote, "exposing her buttocks to the other theater patrons."
--She also claims the venue's employees "assisted" Johnny's security, and forced her out of the venue.
--She went to the emergency room, and she says her injuries included torn tendons in her arms, broken bones in both wrists, and a dislocated elbow.
--There's no comment from Johnny or his people.
Is Oprah Finally Going to Marry Stedman . . . and Air the Wedding to Try to Save Her Network?
OPRAH WINFREY has held off on marrying her boyfriend STEDMAN GRAHAM for more than 25 years. But those 25 years were REALLY SUCCESSFUL for her.
--Now she's experiencing a little taste of failure for the first time as her network is struggling. And the investigative journalists at the"National Enquirer" say THAT might be what FINALLY gets Oprah to marry Stedman.
--The "Enquirer" is reporting that Oprah PROPOSED to Stedman and wants to air the wedding on OWN . . . to try to save the network.
--An anonymous TV insider says, quote, "By marrying Stedman, she can not only give viewers a TV event that will rival the royal wedding . . .
--"But also months of programming covering everything from: Shopping for her gown and choosing the wedding site . . . to selecting the food and band. There will be bridal showers, even Stedman's bachelor party will be televised."
--They also say she offered him a $100 MILLION prenup . . . partially for going along with all this.
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis Say They're Not Dating
On "That '70s Show", ASHTON KUTCHER and MILA KUNIS'S characters dated for a good portion of the series. And there have been some rumors that they've resurrected that fake romance . . . as a REAL ROMANCE.
--Over the weekend, they were photographed shopping for furniture together, having dinner, and hanging out at Ashton's house. So . . . are they really doin' this?
--According to "Us Weekly" . . . no. One of Mila's friends told them, quote, "No, they're so not dating. They've been friends for years. But she would never ever. Definitely nothing going on."
J.K. Rowling Announces She's Working on a New "Harry Potter" Book . . . a "Harry Potter" Encyclopedia
J.K. ROWLING has announced she's working on a new "Harry Potter" book. But not a real one. It's a "Harry Potter" encyclopedia.
--She wrote on her website, quote, "For a long time I have been promising an encyclopedia of Harry's world and I have started work on this now . . . when finished I shall donate all royalties to charity."
--There's no word when it comes out.
--Her first non-"Harry Potter" book, which is called "The Casual Vacancy", comes out on September 27th.
--As for whether she'll ever write another REAL "Harry Potter" book . . . she didn't give that an outright NO.
--Quote, "I have always refused to say 'never' to this question because I think it would be foolish to rule out something I might want to do in a few years' time. However, I have no immediate plans to write another 'Harry Potter' novel."

Airport ground handling and cargo services firm Swissport Tanzania plans to build a reliable cold-storage facility at Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) for preserving perishable goods in order to save them from being rotten.
Gaudence Temu, Chief Executive Officer of Swissport Tanzania Limited said the current storage facility is overloaded as there is much cargo waiting to be transported.
"We have taken steps to introduce a new cold storage facility that will be constructed nearby the old one mainly for export cargo including the perishable ones like meat and fish," he noted.
Temu made the remarks in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday when briefing journalists shortly after the firm's board of directors meeting that apart from unveiling the company's performance also revealed its audited financial results for the year 2011.
According to Temu, the company's profit grew by 62 percent, showing an impressive performance largely driven by 24 percent increase of handled flights, 17 percent increase in cargo volumes when compared to 2011 and financial discipline which is part of their corporate culture.
He added that about 11,106 flights were handled during the year compared to 8,623 flights in 2010 and passengers increased from 509,000 in 2010 to 592,000 with cargo rising to 27,605 tonnes from 23,582 in 2010.
He said apart from constructing the cold storage facility, the firm will expand the existing leased cargo terminal to accommodate increased imports.
However, plans are underway to construct a modern cargo terminal to carter for the increasing demand and to further improve services, he said.
Temu said there is no doubt that the increasing traffic and cargo volume has compounded the infrastructure inadequacy problem especially at JNIA.
"We have therefore continued to impress on the government on the need to have this challenge addressed as a matter of urgency short of which further growth in the aviation sector might be curtailed," Temu added.

Chris Brown has just released a video declaring that he loves both Rihanna and his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran.
He explained, "I'm not trying to be a player … I just care too much sometimes."
In the footage, Brown tries to convince everyone that he's wasted by editing together clips of himself drinking champagne, partying in a nightclub and looking slouched over while smoking.
At one point he says, "I'm a little drunk, so I'mma be honest …"
At one point he asks, "Is there such thing as loving two people? I don't know if that's possible but for me I just feel like that."
Who knows when the video was shot, but two hours before Brown posted it, Rihanna tweeted, "Ain't nobody bidness….. But mine and my baby!"
He never mentions either woman by name in the video, but there are shots of both RiRi and Karrueche spliced into the 1:27 clip.

The last AARP newsletter had a bit about your blog and book. It also contained an article about pocket neighborhoods, a very interesting and new approach to the old idea of living in a village.
- May 3, 2012 at 2:26 PM
Your response is a very professional one. Listening to our elders is a valid quest - especially in our modern times. Isn't it interesting that we as a society might just start listening to them? They are all around us. You say they are visible we just don't look at them enough. What an ingenious way it is to make them more visible by focusing your lens on them! You see them in a certain way. Actually, you can see them. For some, they might be harldy visible, but they are clearly visible to you. Can we all see them the way you do? I think we can. That is a great quest. Isn't it our faith turning into advanced stylists one-by-one like autumn leaves? You are doing a great job pawing the way. Great job, Ari.

Small but heavy

Great value!
Articulating arm is a bit still but this is a well made, sturdy/heavy arm. I never worried my TV would end up shattered on the floor.Read More
Looking at this I thought it not going to hold my tv but it stood up to the challenge, it looks really nice on the wall and very easy to install.Read More
Great Arm
This thing really holds a tv and works. Put my 32 inch on it and it was great to push it back against the wall flush when done and pull it out toward my bed when I needed it.Read More

Excellent piece of hardware at a great price, half of what you'll pay in store. One thing to know this mount doesn't allow you to tilt tv up & down automatically you need to make that adjustment with a screwdriver when hanging tv. Very sturdy !Read More

Always the least expensive
Overstock always has the least expensive TV wall mounts (amoungst other things). We saw a similar mount at a big box store for over $130, and we got this one for so little. It was easy to put together and really easy to mount on the wall. It looks great, because you can't see it at all. It articulates wonderfully and our TV hangs just as we wanted.Read More
Weighs a ton!
Previously ordered a Mount It! product for a smaller TV so decided to go up one size. This thing weighs a ton, and the screws that are included didn't seem like they were sufficient, but changing them out was easy enough. the hooks underneath to hide the cords was a nice surprise. Def worth the $ :)Read More
Great mount for hannspree
I got this for the 25" Hannspree also available on this site and the installation was a breeze. The only thing I would say about it is that it easily tilts the TV to one side or the other so I'm always trying to make it perfectly level and tightening the screw doesn't fix the issue. I like that it has a place on the back to lock the TV onto to the mount (with your own padlock). This mount is great if you need to put the TV in a spot where it's out of the way and has to be pulled out and viewed from another angle since the mount let's you turn and tilt it in every direction. In terms of a mount for viewing straight on it sits pretty far from the wall when you push the TV as far back as it goes and wouldn't be my first choice only for that reason.Read More
Very nice mount; terrific value
Used to mount a 23" LCD. This is a very well built unit. I was at *** and looked at their $90.00 one and this one is just as nice. The only defect: There are little black plastic trim pieces used to cover the top and bottom end of the bracket hinges. The one on the bottom nearest the TV doesn't really fit and so it falls out. Since it's not really visible unless you REALLY look, it's not a problem. As others mentioned, it is a nice design, The VESA mounting plate (that star shaped thingy on the end) is not attached to the mount. It is part of a separate component that slides down into a little track on the end of the mount allowing you to easily mount or dismount the TV. It makes installation very easy. One thing to consider when installing this is how much wall space you have from the bottom of the mounting plate to the ceiling. I installed it above a set of windows, so I couldn't put the wall mounting plate any lower than the top of the window trim. In this case, I have 14-1/4" from top of window trim to ceiling. This ended up just barely working with a 23" Samsung B2330HD. Here's why: Note that each articulating arm segment increases the height from the wall mounting plate. During the install, you attach the arm to the wall without the VESA mounting plate. You then, mount the VESA plate to the back of the TV then attach it to the articulating arm by raising it a couple of inches above the mount and sliding it down into place. I was initially concerned that I wouldn't have the room to raise it above the mount without hitting the ceiling, but it worked with about an inch to spare. If you've got a limited space as I did, you might want to take some accurate measurements before drilling into your wall. All in all, I am very happy with this unit and would recommend it.Read More
Great product for the cost.
We purchased one for our new office TV and we were so impressed with the quality that we purchased two more for my boyfriend's computer monitors. It freed up desk space. We really liked the fact that you only need to find one stud for the mount. I also liked that there is a holder for cable and electrical wires. The articulating arm is easily repositioned with one finger.Read More

Audrey Riggs waited in a cluster of about 15 wiry fifth-graders waiting to leave the dock of Ellis Island – or front hallway of Buckner Elementary School. While teachers announced orders and glanced at the sheets of paper in each child's hand, some students couldn't keep a straight face. But Audrey, who wore a red hanky on her head and a wool skirt several sizes too big, caressed a doll with with pursed lips and troubled eyes. In her imagination, she'd stepped onto American soil for the first time after two weeks at sea.

Classic Boy
There is no reason to get super-complicated when searching for the perfect Halloween outfit for your son. Sometimes, the classics are the best. Check out our awesome collection of classic boys costumes for infants and toddlers, and you are sure to find something that will be fun for everyone. Children always enjoy these traditional Halloween costumes, and adults love the feelings of nostalgia that come along with them. Who doesn't enjoy a throwback?
Infant Time Out Toddler Prisoner Costume
Toddlers Stealth Ninja Costume
Batman Muscle Chest Toddler Costume
Deluxe Toddler Muscle Chest Superman Costume
Infant Mickey Mouse Toddler Costume
Toddler's Dinosaur Train Buddy Deluxe Costume
Toddler Wee Wrangler Boy's Costume
Infant Purple Plush Spider Costume
Boy's Toddler Playful Pony Costume
Roscot the Robot Costume for Toddlers
Infant / Toddler Superman Costume
Child's Fire Breathing Dragon Costume
Boy's Born To Be Wild Biker Toddler Costume
Count Cutie Costume for Toddlers
Just because we call them "the classics" doesn't mean that they are all conventional. We have a variety of classic Halloween costumes for boys, including conventional ones as well as fresh twists on classic characters. Some popular characters include superheroes such as Superman and Batman, Star Wars characters such as Yoda and Darth Vader, and Toy Story characters such as Woody and Buzz Lightyear. Some other classic characters would be monsters such as vampires, dragons, and Frankenstein's monster, as well as traditional Halloween figures such as pumpkins and spiders. We also have outfits for your child's favorite cartoon characters, such as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck from Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, and Mickey Mouse.
When you take your little one trick-or-treating around the neighborhood, people will appreciate the traditional character and it may evoke their old Halloween memories. This could even translate into more candy for your child (and through the transitive property, you). Many parents dress up their infants and toddlers in complicated outfits that are difficult to get on and off their children. And sometimes, they don't even dress their kids as well-known characters or Halloween icons. It hardly seems worth it.

Designer and socialite, Lilly Pulitzer, passed away on Sunday in Palm Beach, FL, at 81 years old. When we think of her, we think preppy, perfectly summery style – style so juice-stand fresh that most of us here at Rue can actually remember that very first whimsical Lilly purchase. Below, we share those first sunny memories:
"My first (and favorite) Lilly was a pink and white seersucker dress. It was my go-to for the season. It made me feel so summery – feminine, bright, and complemented every pair of wedges I own." – Meredith G., Corporate Customer Care Analyst
"In sixth grade, I spotted a teeny Lilly bikini on a shopping trip with Mom. It was all perfectly pink and speckled with palm trees. I have no idea how I convinced her to buy it for me – probably cried, or some other dramatic tool of persuasion. Nonetheless, I so rocked that middle school pool party." – Joanna B., Editor
"In 2001, my mom gifted me a pair of super-bright Lilly men's trousers (they looked girly, I swear). Back then, Lilly was virtually unknown at my suburban Chicago high school – I'd scored these in FL – though they were very well-received. Even when paired with the platform flip–flops I insisted on wearing with them." – Sarah S., Junior Copywriter
"One of my favorite childhood outfits was a pink and green floral shift – besides being splashed in my favorite colors, it was most appealing because my mother had one to match. My love for Lilly has only grown from there… though eventually I did insist that my mom and I opt for different prints." – Bridget R., Event Production Assistant
"Had my mother known her prints were spill-inspired, I probably would have been granted my first prized Lilly piece at a younger age." – Jillian H., Feature Writer
"My first Lilly was a monokini – the one-piece 'bathing suit' you wear over a diaper. But the piece I remember most was a blue shift dress with pink and yellow flowers. I recall that I chose to 'accessorize' it with Band-Aids – applied to both my knees + elbows." – Rachel S., Associate Creative Director
"My gin-gria chiffon tunic with a classic Lilly Pulitzer print is perfect for breezy summer nights in Cape Cod." – Carolyn S., Feature Writer
"I actually got my first-ever Lilly piece from our latest Boutique. It's a navy-and-white octopus print swimsuit – it's really fun but still sophisticated and fits perfectly. I'm planning on wearing it during my honeymoon." – Shaina M., Copyeditor

Now it's definite.
And it's personal.
Leaders of the transnational organized criminal gang Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) have upped the ante and ordered a hit on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in New York. An earlier plot to kill an LAPD gang detective, Frank Flores, was detailed in a RICO indictment earlier this year. (See "The Plot to Whack a Cop" here.)
This case takes MS-13's violent impudence to a federal level.
"Tom Diaz has worn out some shoe leather—much like a good detective—in gathering facts, not myths or urban legend. "
—Chris Swecker, Former Assistant Director of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division.
"Few people know more about the subject than Tom Diaz and no single book tells the whole story better than No Boundaries. If you really want to know what organized crime in America looks like today, then read this alarming book."
—Rocky Delgadillo, former City Attorney of Los Angeles
Order No Boundaries from Amazon.com
According to an affidavit filed in support of an arrest warrant, an MS-13 member specifically tasked to kill the ICE agent described the plot to federal agents. The gangsters were looking for an AK-47 or M-16 assault rifle to do the job. ("Affidavit In Support Of Arrest Warrant," United States v. Walter Alberto Torres, also known as "Duke," United States District Court for the Eastern District Of New York, Case 1:09-mj-01055-RLM).
This is perhaps not surprising, given MS-13's violent history — which is detailed in my book, No Boundaries: Transnational Latino Gangs and American Law Enforcement (University of Michigan Press, 2009).
As Fairly Civil has noted before, there is no question that gangsters in the United States have access to the firepower to take on U.S. law enforcement agents in the same way that narcotraficantes go after Mexican law enforcement authorities. The question has been: would gang leadership risk bringing the fury of America's cops and agents down on their heads?
Apparently they would. (Although one experienced gang cop takes exception to this conclusion here.)
It is worth noting that some gang experts familiar with the Mexican Mafia and their affiliated Sureno gangs insist that the Mexican Mafia made its decision a few years ago to target troublesome cops.
If there were any gloves left on, they are off now.
Here is an extended excerpt from the affidavit. (Under the circumstances, Fairly Civil does not include the name of the agent filing the affidavit. The target is called "John Doe" in the affidavit.):
2. Over the past several years, my office has engaged in an extended, in-depth investigation of members of the street gang La Mara Salvatrucha 13, also known as "MS-13," (hereinafter "MS-13"). The defendant WALTER ALBERTO TORRES DUKE, also known as "Duke," is a self-admitted member of MS-13. MS-13 engages in acts and threats involving murder, attempted murder, robbery and extortion, in violation of the laws of the various states, including New York, and narcotics trafficking, in violation of Title 21, U.S.C., Sections 841 and 846.
3. MS-13 is comprised primarily of immigrants from El Salvador and other Central American countries, with members located throughout the United States and Central America. In the United States, major MS-13 chapters, or "cliques," have been established in New York, Virginia, Texas, California and elsewhere. Following induction, members of MS-13 frequently demonstrate their membership by wearing clothing containing the colors blue and white and/or the words "MS" or "13."
4. In the Eastern District of New York, MS-13 cliques have been established in various towns on Long Island, including Hempstead, Freeport, Roosevelt, Huntington, Brentwood and Islip, and neighborhoods in New York City including Jamaica, Flushing, Forest Hills and Far Rockaway. The cliques routinely hold meetings to plan criminal activity, and members pay dues into a clique treasury. The treasury funds are used to purchase firearms and ammunition and to promote other illegal activity. Inter-clique meetings, called "Universals," are used to coordinate criminal activities among different cliques. Participation in criminal activity by a member, especially violence directed at rival gangs, increases the respect accorded to that member and is necessary to obtain a promotion to a senior or leadership position.
5. In the Eastern District of New York, MS-13 members are frequently involved in violent altercations with members of rival gangs such as the Salvadorans With Pride ("SWP"), the Latin Kings, the Bloods and the Netas. In the Eastern District of New York, MS-13 members have repeatedly carried out "drive-by" shootings and other violent attacks targeting members of rival gangs and others.
6. According to a cooperating witness ("CW"), members of MS-13 have been plotting to kill ICE Agent John Doe ("Agent Doe"), a leader in the investigation of MS-13, since at least December 2006. Specifically, CW stated that he, along with fellow MS-13 gang members in the Flushing clique of MS-13, plotted to murder Agent Doe with either a rifle or a shotgun, in retaliation for Agent Doe's ongoing investigation of MS-13 in Queens, New York. CW stated that the gang was exceedingly angry at Agent Doe, whom MS-13 blamed for the incarceration of dozens of gang members in Queens, New York, and elsewhere.
7. A second MS-13 gang member, who subsequently pled guilty to racketeering-related charges in this District, admitted to participating in the same plot to kill Agent Doe in late 2006 and early 2007, during proffer sessions with the government.
8. On or about October 16, 2009, at approximately 9:30 p.m., detectives from the New York City Police Department ("NYPD") observed a group of several admitted MS-13 gang members walking on Northern Boulevard, near 150th Street, in Flushing, Queens, and approaching other pedestrians in an aggressive manner. Two detectives requested the individuals to stop, and requested them to take their hands out of their pockets. The individuals ultimately complied, and the detectives recognized four of the individuals as previously identified MS-13 gang members. A fifth individual, the defendant TORRES, was not known to the detectives at the time, but identified himself as a member of MS-13 and stated that he wished to provide information to the NYPD. None of the individuals, including the defendant, were taken into custody.
9. On or about October 20, 2009, defendant WALTER ALBERTO TORRES, also known as "Duke," contacted detectives from the NYPD and requested a meeting, which was arranged for later that day. Prior to commencing the interview with the defendant, the defendant was advised of his Miranda rights, both orally and in writing. Defendant TORRES indicated that he understood and wished to waive his rights, and signed a written waiver to that effect.
10. During the interview, the defendant stated, in sum and substance and in part, that he has been a member of MS-13 since joining the gang in approximately 1998 in El Salvador. The defendant stated that he emigrated to the United States in 2001, at which point he joined an MS-13 clique in Springfield, Virginia. He later moved to Alexandria, Virginia.
11. The defendant further stated that he and other MS-13 gang members agreed to murder Agent Doe and engaged in planning the murder. In order to perpetrate the murder, the defendant stated that the gang was attempting to procure an AK-47 assault rifle or an M-16 machine gun, in anticipation that the bullets would penetrate the agent's body armor. TORRES stated that the order for the murder came from gang leadership in El Salvador, and that he discussed the plan with MS-13 gang members as recently as August 2009.
12. During the October 20, 2009 interview, it was determined that there was an outstanding warrant for the defendant's arrest. Specifically, the defendant is wanted in Fairfax, Virginia, for violation of probation following his guilty plea to grand larceny, a felony. The defendant was subsequently taken into custody.
13. On or about October 22, 2009, NYPD detectives and ICE agents again interviewed the defendant, this time at Riker's Island. The defendant was advised of his Miranda rights, both orally and in writing. Defendant TORRES again indicated that he understood and wished to waive his rights, and signed a written waiver to that effect.
14. During the interview, the defendant described, among other things, multiple acts of violence he committed on behalf of MS-13. The defendant also described the plot to kill a federal agent, stating that he traveled to New York in or about August 2009 for the specific purpose of participating in the planning and execution of the murder plot. Information provided by the CW, as well as surveillance by law enforcement agents, corroborates the identity and gang membership of the coconspirators identified by TORRES. According to TORRES, he was in charge of putting the plan together, and he agreed with fellow gang members to participate in the ongoing plot to kill Agent Doe with a high powered rifle or similar weapon.

Metal Alliance Tour -- Montreal, Quebec -- March 23rd, 2012
Venue: Le National
Other bands playing: Endast, Impending Doom
As if there were not too many bands on this tour, the local promoter had added a local one called Endast to the line-up. I already had seen the twice previously and I was getting tired of seeing them, so I decided to arrive a bit late to the early show (door opened at 4 pm and Endast played at 5 pm). When I got in the National, they were starting their last song, "Black Cloud". They play some kind of unoriginal and generic groovy metalcore, but at least they've got a good stage presence. For the third time, I was not impressed, so I decided to take a look to Dying Fetus's merch instead of watching the band play. As on the Summer Slaughter Tour this summer, the New York death metal masters' shirt designs were disappointing: none of them was representative of the band's aesthetics. They looked like deathcore band merch, so I chose to pass once more.
The first good band of the evening was Wretched, and american melodic/technical death metal band. They were heavy, they were intense and they had epic melodic parts. I noticed that the two new songs they played (the second and third ones) were much better than the older ones, which makes me look forward to the new record, [I]Son of Perdition[/I]. Their singer looked like he was drunk or high, but he had good energy and he kept interacting with the crowd. I didn't know them before they announced this tour, so they were a cool discovery.
Then, for the next band, Impending Doom, me and some of my friends decided to go out for a few pizza slices, because the hunger was getting annoying. We went to a place right beside the venue and it was delicious, they had pizzas with italian sausage pieces on them; epic. When I came back in, one of the shittiest deathcore bands was playing its two last songs. They were painful to listen to: their music consisted only of chugging and groovy/djenty parts and it wasn't even enjoyable. Thus, the singer kept preaching about christianity before the breakdowns, for example yelling "there is only one god and he is Jesus". Pathetic. This leads me to the content of their lyrics, which was a pretty good source of laughter for me in the past few days. It seems like they want to have a crusade to kill all the pagans and atheists. Isn't the christian message one of peace and love? :eyes: Whatever...
After a short, efficient stage change-up, things started to get serious, especially for my younger brother who came with me to the concert. He has been listening to 3 Inches of Blood for many years and they're probably his favourite band ever. It was his second time seeing them (third for me) and he was pretty stoked. He bought a t-shirt and the new record in a beautiful digipak format (it is made to look like an old book and the gold writings on the cover are shiny) with the booklet signed by the band members. As always, they gave an excellent performance. It was really heavy and Cam Pipes' voice was spot on. I have also noticed that Justin Hagberg's backing vocals are improving drastically: his screams are becoming more definite and less similar to generic grunts. The new songs sounded great live, specially "Metal Woman", and witnessing the epic "God of the Cold White Silence" live for the first time was a great experience. Plus, I have a special mention to give to Shane Clark for his supreme badassness and his Nihilist t-shirt.
The next band, Job for a Cowboy, was one of the two bands I was the most looking forward to see in this show. When I had seen them with Whitechapel a few years ago, I was a bit disappointed, because their performance lacked power, but it was not the case this time. They started with "Entombment of a Machine" up to the part with the girl scream, which was done by the crowd, then bursted straight into the blistering "Embedded". The new line-up was surprisingly precise, tight and energetic, and Jonny Davy had an incredible, crazy stage presence. The two new songs they played were brutal and the older ones were exquisite ("Regurgitated Disinformation" is one of my favourite death metal songs ever). They also got a much better crowd reaction than the last time I had seen them, though I will never understand the 2-3 hardcore dancers swinging their arms to pure death metal with nearly no hardcore influence. Just like what I was hoping for, JFAC were the second best band of the night.
Job for a Cowboy could have outplayed many bands, but having Dying Fetus in a line-up just isn't fair for the others. They're probalby the most fun live band on earth. I've always been astonished by how only three guys could deliver such a powerful performance without cranking the volume of their instruments too loud (they were actually less loud than most of the bands on the bill). As soon as they started the first riff to "Your Treachery Will Die With You", the floor just exploded into a war zone. The pits were enormous and there were some of the most violent I've been in. I've got hit in the face about five times and my lower lip was bleeding at the end of their set, I fell on the ground twice and at some point, my neck got squeezed between the shoulders of two slammers (it was indeed very painful). However, in a Dying Fetus show, you get so many adrenaline rushes that the pain doesn't last very long. I can't decide if they were better than on Summer Slaughter last summer, but they gave a hell of a show. The new songs slayed: "From Womb to Waste" started with a few groovy slam parts and then finished with brutal blasting parts, and "Invert the Idols" was shorter and more intense. The highlights of the set for me was "Killing on Adrenaline" (DAT BREAKDOWN :rocker:) and the huge circle pits in "One Shot, One Kill".
When they finished playing, I was exhausted from all the moshing and headbanging, so I went upstairs and sat in the back for The Faceless. They gave a good show: their complex songs were perfectly executed and their new frontman has more energy than their previous one (and he has a better voice too in my opinion). Also, the new song surprised me. It started with a long atmospheric, Opeth-y (but with a more freaky, alien feel), part with clean vocals by Michael Keene and then bursted into pure tech-death frenzy, sometimes cut by wierd keyboard melodies (similar to the interlude in "Legion of the Serpent", my favourite song of theirs), and it finished with a heavy/groovy repeated riff (or breakdown if you want). I didn't like the other song they had released ("The Eidolon Reality") that much, but this one really made me want to listen to their next album. They concluded the set with the "XenoChrist", frustrating many of their fans who had come only to see them, because of the shortness of their set (they certainly did not play 40 minutes like they were scheduled to). Not playing "The Ancient Covenant" is just wierd, but I think it's because their new guitarist didn't have enough time to learn it correctly.
When DevilDriver went on stage, about half of the crowd had left. The problem with that band is that they always tour with band that are more worshiped than themselves and/or of completely different genres (for example, with Suffocation in 2010, and with Emmure and Despised Icon in 2009). Nonetheless, they were one of my favourite bands when I was in high school and I still know all of their songs by heart, so seeing them again was fun. What I found interesting is that they switched their setlist a bit: hearing "Horn of Betrayal", "Burning Sermon" and "The Fury of Our Maker's Hand" was great. The crowd seemed to enjoy them very much too: there were many circle and ordinary pits and tons of stage diving. I was still tired so I saved my energy and only went in the pits for the two final songs. For "Meet the Wretched", there was a wall of death that turned into a circle pit. It probably has been said many times before, but Dez Fafara is an outstanding frontman. He knows how to make a crowd move and, if you know the lyrics, he keeps singing them with you. His attitude creates a very warm atmosphere in the crowd. I didn't know what to expect, but they ended the long concert on a high note. The length of their set was perfect: it was satisfying while not being too long (at the end, everyone was getting tired).

And also, really great review, man.
Was a fuckin great show. I left after DF cause I had to work, but man DF was great. Also, this was the 5th time I've seen JFAC, and it was definately their best performance. Really looking forward to the new album.
The crowd went fucking NUTS when 'Your Treachery Will Die w/ You' broke out. The crowd for DF was one of the best crowds I've ever seen in Montreal. Lot's of movement throughout the whole set, and an awesome circle pit during 'One Shot, One Kill'. If anyone remembers, I posted a video of one of their new songs, 'Invert The Idols' a few weeks back. Great tune. When I have some time tommorrow, I'll upload the other new one they played. Another fuckin great song. John wasn't lying when he said they were focusing on slam in the new album. Which by the way, will be out June 19 according to John. Also, Sean said they'd be back in Montreal in October. Fuck yeah to another DF tour!!:rocker::rocker:
Also, I met the coolest Customs Agent at the border. Here is some of the conversation:
CBP - "Who played?"
Me - "DevilDriver headlined, but I was there for Dying Fetus and Job For A Cowboy. Mostly death metal bands."
"Oh, I'm aware. I grew up on Slayer and Deicide."
"Awesome! I actually just saw Deicide a few weeks ago. It's cool you're a metalhead, usually the customs agents are like, "Who? Cannibal Corpse?"
(CBP dude's eyes light up) "Hey, Cannibal Corpse has a new album out!! have you heard it?"
"Oh yeah, it's in my CD player."
We chatted for another minute or 2, turns out he's all fired up to Slayer at Mayhem this summer. Pretty cool guy, and a welcome change from the bewildered stares I usually get from the guys when they ask who I went to see :D.
[QUOTE=hellawaits77ny;455258] Also, Sean said they'd be back in Montreal in October. Fuck yeah to another DF tour!!:rocker::rocker:[/QUOTE]
If it's a headlining tour, I'll be the happiest guy on earth! :rocker:
And that's awesome for the customs agent.
And also, really great review, man.[/QUOTE]
Thanks :D I was half awake when I wrote it, the words just kept flowing from my subconscious :lol: when I finished it I went right back into bed and slept for another hour!

New Gemini II features on the way!
Posted 24 June 2013 - 11:46 PM
The HC buttons background will be programmable.
The HC has a new Balance Menu. See Menu--Mount-->Balance
The HC now starts up in the Centering speed.
The Default value for the mount type is now G11.
The HC sets set tracking rate automatically for Sun and Moon.
René started to finalize the Comet Tracking. His comment: I want to have it running perfectly before Comet ISON is in sight:
Comet Tracking - on hand controller Menu-->Track-->Comet/User Defined
Posted 25 June 2013 - 11:06 AM
Posted 25 June 2013 - 06:22 PM
Any idea how robust the beta is? I will check in with the yahoo G2 group and see what they think, but if a few early adopters have tried it without problems I may give it a whirl.
Posted 25 June 2013 - 07:15 PM
Have they updated the catalogs in this one?
Posted 25 June 2013 - 11:36 PM
I requested to test this public beta release and Tom Hilton gave me the link to access it. The automated firmware installation has not yet been updated to support this release so I had to install it manually via FTP. Due to windows related security reason FTP installation did not work for me so I had to resort to physically removing the SD card to install the new firmware.
After installation, I checked the Gemini II settings without connecting to the mount and the first thing I immediately noticed was that the night theme finaly got some love and now the buttons have a nice 3D look to them. I dug around the menu and found the mount balance feature, and so far so good.
I plan to connect my mount tonight and see how it goes. I won't be testing the mount tracking feature because I haven't got the slightest clue about observing comets and the second being that I live in very light polluted skies so unless that comet is rather bright, I doubt I will be able to see it with an 8" scope.
Posted 26 June 2013 - 07:09 AM
I would be very interested to hear your opinion on the balancing function once you have had a chance to try it out.
Posted 26 June 2013 - 02:38 PM
Posted 26 June 2013 - 03:09 PM
To my understanding, units shipped more recently than mine probably already have this firmware installed from the factory. My unit is a rather early unit dating back to mid 2011.
Posted 26 June 2013 - 05:38 PM
That sucks. Do the new 'high speed' motors have it already?
Posted 26 June 2013 - 07:32 PM
Thanks for doing the leg work on that and sharing your results. I think my mount is about 6 months older than yours so I will have to do the upgrade you mentioned. I will have to check in the Yahoo group, but do you know if Losmandy is selling the "specialized hardware" to be able to utilize the balancing function?
Thanks again!
Posted 27 June 2013 - 12:03 AM
The new High torque motors are not the issue. Seems that the firmware is actually on board the Gemini II main board.
The part is a micro-controller programmer available in electronics project stores. The one Tom Hilton had recomended was the "PICK it 3" If you live in the US, I don't see doing this your self as worth the effort since it involves building your own adapter cable. You might as well send it directly to Losmandy to get it done professionally since shipping cost inside the US is cheap as compared to international shipping.
Posted 27 June 2013 - 02:40 AM
It's a PIC programmer. Probably the motor control firmware must be updated. Seems very DIY. Can't Losmandy ship out a replacement chip that's already programmed? This is what AP did with the S chip - you pay them money, they send you a new chip and instructions on how to install it.
Posted 27 June 2013 - 04:52 AM
But you are correct that is exactly what needs to be done. You also need to make a custom male-male 2mm pitch to 2.54mm pitch cable to interface the programer with the Gemini 2. I would advise most users to get this done professionally
Posted 27 June 2013 - 06:45 AM
G11 system.We need to look at this more.My G11-G2 is about the same age as Hilmi's(2011) and has the new motor in RA.
The IEq45 has an electronic balance and allows me to use a C11 on that mount with good electronic balance.
about $30 on EB will get a pck3 pgmr.
I have the new test software ...and wanted this feature.
Posted 27 June 2013 - 09:37 AM
Posted 27 June 2013 - 06:12 PM
Thank you so much for the information. I think the point may be moot for me now as I have just placed my name on the notification list for the Astro-Physics AP1100 and will now likely sell my G11/G2 after I get the new mount. It would have been nice if a simple Gemini 2 firmware update had provided the electronic balance feature as my G11 seems to have a "fat" balance point in RA and despite having some experience in balancing it I always felt is was a best guess activity. Being an engineer, I hate guessing!
Thanks again!
Posted 28 June 2013 - 12:24 AM
Posted 28 June 2013 - 12:28 AM
Posted 28 June 2013 - 01:25 AM
Posted 28 June 2013 - 09:21 AM
Posted 28 June 2013 - 10:16 AM
I'm not familiar with Losmandy but wouldn't it be possible to just send the electronics board in for update and not the entire mount?
It would be real nice if that wasn't necessary though.
But, yes, one of the many nice things about Gemini 2 and Losmandy mounts are that the electronics are easily detached. Motors too.
So nobody will be sending their "entire mount" anywhere for this.
Still, this requirement is a huge surprise to me . . . and probably a shock to all Gemini 2 owners.
