Hello, nudity ban: activists arrested outside City Hall for being naked
"All you have to do is strip naked to find out if public nudity is political in San Francisco," nudist activist Gypsy Taub said into a bullhorn outside City Hall today, where a nude-in was being held on the first day of Supervisor Scott Wiener's ban on being naked in public.
Moments later at around 12:30pm, she became the first arrest made under the ban, followed by two (UPDATE: Although police officers on the scene put the total protesters arrested at three, other news outlets are now reporting that there was four detained) other protesters. An incensed crowd rhythmically chanting "shame!"
The message was clear: San Francisco is not the same city -- and y'all can keep your clothes on.
It should be noted that the first person detained for the crime of taking one's clothes off was a woman -- and that the crowd at City Hall was not the mass of wrinkly older Caucasian gentlemen with cock rings as the nudists have popularily been portrayed. The crowd was diverse in gender, representative of many races, and displayed vastly divergent fashion sense. One man who was arrested wore a top hat and mesh penis sling. A woman who quietly told reporters that the police had told her the protesters would receive citations and be back on the streets in an hour had on one purple and one red fishnet stocking, a statement necklace, and a proudly erect rubber cock swinging in front of her.
"Why do you hold my arms so hard?" top hat man implored the cops as they hauled him away. Another clothed man with a pink sign proclaiming "NUDE IS NOT LEWD" screamed ceaselessly at the cops, questioning why city resources were going toward detaining naked people and not to stopping drug sales blocks away in the Tenderloin.
After the arrests, there was a moment to reflect.
"I have a gnarly vitamin D deficiency," Alice "Wonderland" (she withheld her last name so that people wouldn't try to add her on Facebook) told me when I asked why she and her tits had made it to the protest that day. A Santa Cruz resident who works in San Francisco, Wonderland said she used Harvey Milk Plaza in the Castro -- the geographic flashpoint for the nudity conflict -- as a spot to sunbathe on her lunch break.
"If I don't get a lot of sunshine, I get depressed," she said. "Supplements don't work the same way." Wonderland was under the impression that going topless was still okay in the city, but all the same she was nervous about have her tits in front of so many police officers.
It was worth it: "[Being nude in public] has been a highlight of my 'holy crap' city life."
Taub has helpfully posted a transcript of the speech she was delivering when she was arrested on her website. In it, she questions whether the ruling by Judge Edward Chen was in fact written by the judge or an unknown person associated with the military, and draws some untoward correlations between the nudity ban and "strict Muslim society." But we do get down with her overall message that body freedom is a right, and that its repression is a definite step backwards.
In closing, the conclusion that Taub didn't have a chance to deliver today before she was hauled away by the cops:
"Let's reach out to each other in the most human way possible, let's support and empower each other. Let's face our fears and get [past] them, let's take action, let's stand our ground."
A nudity ban really is too bad. Public nudity was a rad aspect of San Francisco. When I was in London last year, folks were asking, "Is it true they're going to ban nudity in San Francisco?!" They were genuinely distraught. People far and wide love this city for its sense of freedom ... why become like every other yuppie town?
Also kind of a bummer that the article insists on calling breasts "tits." Please, girl.
<3 tits
That's fab Caitlin - but it's still a charged word to describe women's bodies. It ain't empowering like the nudists activists - it's derogatory, like the dudes at civic center who make kissy noises as you walk past them.
I was pretty shocked when I read that line. Why not ask why she and her latisimus dorsi showed up? It's not often you see women bearing those in public!
you get to say thigns just to shock people, only this time take a moral stance rationalizing that too.
SF is the place where nobody ever needs to grow up.
They also call a penis a cock. Don't see you complaining about that.
Crazies like Taub led to the Berkeley nudity ban in the 1990s and they've chosen to use the same tactics that led to this ban, shades of Andrew Martinez.
Break the law? Get arrested.
A few $500 fines will diminish their desire to offend and annoy.
Yes, because it's simply unamerican to offend and annoy. We must fine everyone who offends and annoys!
another because they exercise an existing right, such as the right to free speech, and express a political or relgious opinion that is contrary.
And someone who blatantly walks around naked, knowing it offends people, for no reason other than to offend them.
There are also things, like being naked, which are OK to do in private or in certain accepted public locations, but which are completely unreasonable to do in front of, say, families and children.
I certainly hope she took public transportation to undertake her carpetbagging.
"the BART?"
It's just called BART, imposter troll.
Why would you care when you obviously don't even live here, amateur troll.
Thank you for the article.
International Troll Society Member #12360969212
that a true local would ever mistakenly refer to "the BART."
Calls to mind a now familiar phrase: "greasy, berzerk, and perfidious."
The definite article may be explicit or implicit in that context.
It's not like she's saying "Frisco", ya know?
Never take THE BART though. I don't take MUNI either for that matter. And I don't call SF San Fran or Frisco either.
Has anyone ever been able to explain why anyone outside 4 zip codes within SF would ever be interested in commenting on the SFBG's website? Do the commenters and writers here really view themselves as that important?
I left my heart in San Frisky (and yes, that's what I called it when I lived there).
I say "yes!"
Your amateur/imposter trolling infests this site on a regular basis. That's a blatant indicator of self-importance.
As for your not taking public transportation, that's because due to your elitist attitude you think you're too good to be with the masses. You're above that, you think. I can't stand pretentiousness.
International Troll Society Member #12360969212
and never take public transport - your powers of perception are impressive.
"your powers of perception are impressive."
That's because I'm International Troll Society Member #12360969212.
Being "proudly elitist" is highly frowned upon by the International Troll Society. In our 2012 Guidelines, p. 92, sections 1-3 it refers to "avoid any signs or symptoms of elitism or proud elitism, as such characteristics are a sign of insecurity, shallowness and superficiality."
Such traits are extremely frowned upon in the International Troll Society.
But I would point out that I am the real elitist, because my member number is in the higher Eschalon of International Troll Society membership elitism. It really shows who is the real elitist. It makes it so much harder for those of us who really are. In fact, I shouldn't even be speaking with a lower pleb like yourself. And do entertain us with your number, pleb.

"I certainly hope she took public transportation to undertake her carpetbagging."----from Troll imposter/amateur
Gypsy says on her website, "I was born and raised in Moscow, the land of Pussy Riot. I live in San Francisco with my 3 kids."
You're calling her (a protester) a "carpetbagger." Let's look at that, shall we?
An outsider, especially a politician, who presumptuously seeks a position or success in a new locality.
Reading that definition from the dictionary, it reads, "especially a politician." Does any local San Francisco politician's name come to mind? The politician responsible for this nudity ban is originally from New Jersey. He moved to the new locality of San Francisco in 1997, but I didn't see you mentioning a word about that, pleb.

Lives in Santa Cruz, works in San Francisco.
Quite the commute.
Love to know what her "job" is San Francisco.
If Christian prudes wanted to get nudity banned in San Francisco, they could not have found actors to play those roles any better than what we've got here. Sad.
the Great Gay and Straight Free Love Pogrom of the late '70s...
... but that never actually happened, didit.
gypsy taub and her friends again. they don't even live in san francisco. why is san francisco wasting so much money and time on this hippie chick with too much time on her hands. it costs a lot of money these days to live in this city with all the fees and taxes. why does she think she and her friends can drive across the bridge, take off their clothes and treat san francisco like their playground? make 'em pay or send them back to the east bay. makes me furious to see these white privileged narcistic people fighting so hard to walk around naked. we need to fight hunger, war, poverty. gypsy taub disgusts me, go back to the east bay, gypsy. san francisco is sick of you.
what principles they really have. I'm guessing they won't last long, and some nice revenues for the city too.
They'll get away with 5-10 hours of "community service" working at a non profit which focuses on nudity rights.
Political activists do not get jail time. Most of the time their charges are summarily dismissed. Do you think the courts, DA and PD have the resources to prosecute these cases compared to all of the other pressing violent criminal and mega-dollar civil actions filling their dockets?
These protests keep SF in the world-wide news loop (good for tourism) and they let the politicians (including the DA) believe that SF is so special.
I once visited a house of a perpetual SF protester who had over 80 citations hanging down the wall. The longest they spent in jail was 6 hours, only because there were so many protesters to arrest that day the sherriff ran out of manpower back at the jail to process the releases. They played cards and had a good 'ole time awaiting their release.
They are causing a public nuisance and, as such, are liable for arrest, conviction and incarceration. I'd prefer to break down their resistance with fines though, and quite simply bankrupt them into submission. But if they refuse to pay the fines then we either seize their assets, garnish their salary or throw them in jail.
If we're going to have this law, then let's enforce it, or decent people may start to take it into their own hands.
"If we're going to have this law, then let's enforce it, or decent people may start to take it into their own hands."
I wonder if the FBI is reading this list?
The city is very accomodating to its pranksters and social change advocates. The city is also aware that some very smart, thoughtful people who live in and around SF are quite passionate about a variety of social, economic, and political issues: nudies, bicycle crazies, labor advocates, and dozens of other social issue groups trying to effect changes to the government and larger society. Some of the government leaders may actually agree with goals of these change advocates, even if they don't admit it until public opinion starts to turn.
Labor and social protest movements have been a part of SF for its entire history. Recall that when Capt. Montgomery (or whoever it was) finally conquered SF for the US government 250 years ago, the locals tore down the flag immediately after he left. And for a couple of centuries before that, after the European invasions began, SF had very little control from outside forces since it was far enough away from the military outposts of the Russian, Mexican, and American empires.
For many of us - and maybe we're slowly dying off and becoming a smaller minority - the US west coast, and especially California, is about as libertarian, live and let live, anti-authoritarian, tolerant, forgiving, and accepting place on earth you'll find. And San Francisco is one of the clearest voices of these social protest messages that get broadcast out to the world on a regular basis. More than the high-rises, more than the tens of thousands of tech multi-millionaires in our midst or the thousands of millionaire landlords and property developers who have made fortunes here, San Francisco is mostly about expression of freedom, liberation, and acceptace, or at least tolerance, of others who are different from us.
There are a lot of people who live in the Bay Area who could use some serious counseling. Some of them post here occasionally. But, really, if you haven't figured out by now that California, and San Francisco in particular, is a place where social protest and freedom of expression are tolerated and even revered, you're clearly in the wrong place.
No one is going to make a big deal out of a small protest against a new law they don't like. "Hi, I'm running for DA. I put the nudies in jail for 2 months. Vote for me!" is not likely to win a lot of new voters, especially if no one is inconvenienced much by the protest. Even in Seattle where pot consumption was recently approved but is still illegal to smoke in public, not many of the hundreds of people who went to the space needle to smoke pot when the law took effect were arrested. Members of the police and military are not noted for their intelligence since thy need to have an IQ around 100 to be hired, but even they figured it out that the very public response to the new law was bigger than some words written in a law book, and that making a bunch of arrests might not go over too well with the voting public.
It appears to be quite the pastime to come onto the SFBG webstite and make controversial statements designed to rile up "the progressives." But seriously, even if you only believe 25% of what you wrote, you definitely took a wrong turn-off somewhere along the way and ended up far from where you'll be comfortable. As has been lamented on these pasges for the past few years, it may be the spirit of SF is slowly decaying now that SF is hub central for the technology and financial powerhouses that have mastered how to harness military funded technology to transform human tasks into machine tasks, destroying middle-income jobs by the millions world-wide. But for now anyway, don't expect many politicians to say much about the social protests that show up occasionally on the steps of city hall.
"or decent people may start to take it into their own hands."
I take it that doesn't include you, since you said, "decent people."
On message forums, one can always count on some blowhard nut who needs to get a grip with a "Guest" screen name to cower behind their keyboard anonymously and make these big tough-guy, bully, empty threats about "taking it into their own hands."
Only some insane nut would do that. Might you be one?

Troll imposter/amateur,
What a waste of server space your hateful post is. According to her website, Gypsy Taub lives in San Francisco with her 3 children, pleb. If you spent more time keeping up rather than hating on people you wouldn't be prone to revealing your ignorance.
International Troll Society Member #12360969212
Thank you for this article. I appreciate the protesters today. Thank you so much. There should have been thousands and thousands more. But considering how lobotomized this city has become (and it will only get worse), I suppose we're lucky that just those few protesters were there.
I've read the nasty imposter-troll comments here. This site is infected with imposter trolls. One in particular being that needy, all-self-important, elitist "Snapples" act pretending to be part of the wealthy, bourgeois elite (who's too good to be with the masses). Also, much of the content from the amateur trolls here is in violation of the International Troll Society's 2012 content Guidelines and Code of Ethics which were distributed during our last Conference in Topeka last fall. That's how I know they are imposters and amateurs. We had a wonderful conference, but I did notice how the people in Topeka are, well, let's just say "different." And many people are insistent on bringing Topeka here. Who the hell wants Topeka here?
International Troll Society Member #12360969212
This is not surprising to Lucretia. Many are entranced by her power. Few understand the depths of her sophistication. What Lucretia wants Lucretia gets.
Do you always speak of yourself (your imposter act) in third person? How odd. That's one of the signature indicators of an imposter/amateur troll. I notice imposters and amateurs immediately. We're trained to as International Troll Society members.
As for this:
"What Lucretia wants Lucretia gets." That sounds like a very self-absorbed, self-entitled and spoiled brat who has never matured to adulthood. It's all about "me, me, me, me, me."
The depths of your sophistication can be found in the depths of any septic system.
International Troll Society Member #12360969212
Sometimes not. It's how she feels at the time. Again - what Lucretia wants, Lucretia gets. And your responses are what she wants now - and she's getting them.
Ah no pleb. Quite the contrary. You took my bait. You provided the reaction and response I was looking for pretending to make it "all about you" (again). Wrong, pleb.
International Troll Society Member #12360969212
that the cops were at the protest and not arresting druggies blocks away.
The purpose of your protest is to get attention, now you got it, stop whining.
You're one of those imposter/amateur trolls at best. You wouldn't be allowed to set foot in the International Troll Society I can assure you of that. You're either a very remedial beginner troll, not very bright, or both.
The purpose of their protest was to test whether the ban would be enforced, not to get attention from the police (which they didn't want actually because they were hoping the ban would not enforced). But as a remedial and dense troll, you deliberately miss their point if you had any receptors to receive it to begin with.
As for your "stop whining," do you ever take your own advice, pleb?
International Troll Society Member #12360969212
me that making rules and not enforcing them makes the children uninterested in any rules.
What does rigid enforcement of all rules do to a child?
I don't have any of my own thankfully. Letting these rent a mob nuts and self centered nudists do their thing right off is probably not a good idea.
The info was in relation to making rules at work, as a manager I was against more rules. I didn't care what people did more often than not, so I don't want to have to enforce more rules as a manager. If someone came to work naked I would fire them though, I don't know if there was a rule in the employee handbook on the subject. I think I could have safely got that one past the labour board.
Too many rules just makes it impossible to enforce them all, something SF progressives miss it seems, it gives the cops/neighbors/busy bodies some reason to fuck with people. The Guardian "war on fun" is helped by all these idiotic rules, the progressives just want to dig through your trash looking for paper, it's anti-fun authoritarians who complain about the bar they moved in next to.
Rigid enforcement of rules probably produces born again Christians.
Insanity best describes most of that post. You are also a Theme-Troller (of the imposter variety). Theme-Trolling is expressly prohibited by the International Troll Society guidelines. We are not allowed to go on sites and theme-troll. Your theme is "progressives." You work-in "progressives" and your dislike (mild word) for "progressives" into nearly all of your posts that I've seen.
This is indicative of a conservative troll imposter:
"the progressives just want to dig through your trash looking for paper."
They do? Oh yes of course they do. Yes, I see that all the time. People wear a sign saying, "I'm a progressive" and they are constantly going through other people's trash. It's epidemic.
You're insane. It's good that you don't have children because we have too many insane children having children already in society.
International Troll Society Member #12360969212
I note the silence on this thread from the imposter/amateur trolls to a certain topic. They have lashed out at Gypsy Taub, one of the protesters of the nudity ban. One imposter troll ended their dump with "gypsy taub disgusts me, go back to the east bay, gypsy. san francisco is sick of you."
I, as a member of the International Troll Society, pointed out that Gypsy says on her website, "I was born and raised in Moscow, the land of Pussy Riot. I live in San Francisco with my 3 kids."
One of the other imposter trolls referred to Gypsy as a "carpetbagger" (the self-described "elitist" and not-very-bright "Snapples" act did that).
The definition of a carpetbagger follows:
An outsider, especially a politician, who presumptuously seeks a position or success in a new locality.
Does any local San Francisco politician's name come to mind? The politician responsible for this nudity ban is originally from New Jersey having moved to the new locality of San Francisco in 1997, but none of the amateur/imposter troll plebs care to mention that (because they agree with the ban). The imposter trolls have remained silent to my inquiry in this regard and that's one of the signatures of an imposter/amateur troll. Don't even think of applying with the International Troll Society, plebs, as your application would be immediately rejected as the International Troll Society has high standards and would dismiss your level of basic, remedial troll skills. Plebs.
International Troll Society Member #12360969212
Shows that your level of research skills and skepticism is lacking.
Taub lives in Berkeley. She does not live in San Francisco.
Now go fetch items for my Super Bowl party. Momma's tired after a long day of shopping, spending lots of cash and running over handicapped bicylists who got in my way.
Grade for that post: - 2.
That's one of the worst, disreputable posts I've seen from any imposter/amateur troll. You pretend to be an "elitist" but write more like a redneck hick. You really don't try very hard, do you?
I would be much more likely to believe Ms Taub than I would an imposter pleb troll who still remains silent on the politician from New Jersey responsible for the nudity ban.

Hundreds of area residents gathered in the frigid temperatures this morning to hear from Holtsville Hal, the Suffolk County prognasticator of local weather at this year's Groundhog Day festival. The verdict from Hal?
Six more weeks of winter. In a proclamation read by Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine, the marmot woke up this morning and saw his shadow.
"Now I gotta go get the department of highways ready for the snowstorms," Romaine quipped as he left the stage.
Wayne Carrington, a volunteer at the Holtsville Ecology Center where the event was held, was the emcee of the proceedings. Carrington thanked the large crowd not only for supporting the day, but for coming out in support this year as the Ecology Center was under the chopping block from Brookhaven's budget.
But it was Hal who starred in the show, as the locally famous rodent posed for pictures with children and spoke with the supervisor about his prediction.
Hal's feeling of a lengthy winter, however, is not shared by his more famous cousin Punxsutawney Phil, who predicted this same morning that we'd see an early spring.
Maybe in Pennsylvania. For us, it's boots and gloves until at least mid-March, according to Hal.

Conference House Park
Pittsville St., Hylan Blvd. Richard Ave.
Staten Island
Directions via Google Maps
Conference House Park is a great destination for both park and history buffs. Located at the southernmost point of New York State, this park houses four historic buildings that trace the history of the borough over the course of three centuries. The Conference House, the Biddle House, the Ward House and Rutan-Beckett House all tell of a New York and an America of the past.
The Conference House, a grand stone manor house built in 1680, is named for the unsuccessful Revolutionary War peace conference that was held here on September 11, 1776 between the Americans and the English. Despite their negotiations to end the fighting, no agreement was reached and the Revolutionary War continued for another seven years.
In addition to its historic landmarks and its breathtaking views of the Raritan Bay, the 265-acre park boasts a newly refurbished playground, a Visitors Center, expanded paths and hiking and biking trails. Another great park destination is the "South Pole," marking the southernmost point of New York State.

My name is Cernunnos, I will love you like no other, I have died a thousand deaths, each time I died I thought of you.
You cant use raging blow or wild strike; and really all casters bypass 100% armor anyway, so the shield is rather useless in PvP, and its not like you are tanking as fury in PVE.
You, you'll regret what you have done this day, I will make you regret ever being born, you're going to wish you never left your mother's womb, where it was warm and safe and wet, I am going to show you pain you never knew existed, you're going to see a whole new spectrum of pain, like a Rainbow!

Using the 2H to do serious damage has a couple issues. Hit and expertise are going to mess with you a lot. 1 big hit is great, but when you miss the next 2, kind of sucks. Also, 2H's get an automatic 10% damage reduction when being used in Titan's Grip apparently to level out having 2 giant weapons against other dps specs.
Think of it this way, for whatever reason, Single Minded Fury (2 1 Hand weapons) is higher dps than Titan's Grip (2 2H weapons). The back end math on Titan's Grip nerfs a lot. In Real Life a giant 2H weapon would likely do more damage than a smaller 1H weapon (assuming you were strong enough to swing it) but Wow math means that isn't necessarily the case in game.
I want to admit, this is a Fun idea. I actually tried it in early wrath just for looks. But the new class specialization system makes it more of an RP idea than a viable spec.
What a shame; if it weren't for the talent changes, this probably would have been an awesome build.

- I have my an app on my phone set up to text me whenever there's a scoring play in a Rangers game, and I was pretty sure on Tuesday that it was broken somehow, because I kept getting 'HR- J. Hamilton, E.Andrus scores' texts, over and over. No, it turns out Josh jut hit four of them, with Elvis on base for all four.
I mention this anecdote because I'm pretty sure it's the only thing about Josh's game that hasn't been written already.
- Elvis' slash line currently is 323/401/427, and he's walking (17 BB) nearly as much as he's striking out (19 SO). He flirted with a similar rate early last year; however, it seemed that pitchers keyed in on his patience and strike zone management combined with a lack of power and started attacking him in the zone, and he didn't have the bat to make them pay.
This year, that seems to have changed. His rate of hitting line drives has gone from 19.3 in 2010 to 23.1 last year to 28.6% currently -- combine that with the power he's shone early (his 427 SLG is 60 points higher than the best he had managed in a season prior) and you can see that he's hitting the ball with more authority. He's currently fifth in the majors among shortstops in wRC+.Oh, and he's reached base in 28 straight games. And he turns 24 in August.
- Shortstop prospect Jurickson Profar, meanwhile, has reached base in 29 straight games in Frisco. He is 19 years old. He is disgustingly good at baseball.
- Nelson Cruz went 8-16 with a walk in this series. The power might not be there yet (Nelson Cruz-power, at least) with only two doubles, but him putting the barrel on the ball is encouraging.
- I have no idea what to make of Colby Lewis' last start. That thing is just bizarre. He faced 28 batters, and 18 of them fell into one of the Three True Outcomes (Walk, Strikeout, Home Run). Colby is going to give up home runs, but as long as they're solo, he'll generally be ok.
- Robbie Ross no longer leads the majors in pitcher wins, which means that pitcher wins is now completely and totally devalued as a stat.
- Just kidding, pitcher wins were always completely and totaly devalued as stats.
- Seriously, though, Ross has hit a slight tough patch, getting hit up a little bit in Toronto and again in Baltimore. This is a good thing, long term, as Ross needs to adjust and learn and adapt; 22 year olds who don't struggle in the majors are extraordinary players. Ross is merely an awesome one.
- Speaking of young and extraordinary, how bad do you have to act to make a 19 year old seem like the adult in an exchange? Cole Hamels plunking Bryce Harper was stupid, (the point of baseball is either avoiding an out as a batter or getting an out as a pitcher- why give away first base? Why take away your own oppurtunity to get an out?) and telling the world he did it on purpose -- to teach him a lesson -- that completely deserves the fine he got. If you want to teach him a lesson, strike him out or get him to pound the ball into the ground. If you can't do that, he's the one teaching you, no?
- The bullpen is at 10 walks -- to 75 strikeouts. Alexi Ogando and Koji Uehara have yet to walk a batter, while all of the other contributors (Mark Lowe, Ross, Joe Nathan, Mike Adams, and Scott Feldman) share the lead with two each.
Joseph Ursery may be Robbie Ross' biggest fan. But can you blame him? Show him you approve of his 'fave rookie ever' choice by following @thejoeursery on Twitter.

Elegant and Functional Glass Decor
Galileo discovered centuries ago that a liquid's density varies with temperature. These works of scientific art contain colored glass temperature indicator spheres calibrated to within a fraction of a gram to measure indoor temperature accurately. The balls float in a clear liquid, changing position with fluctuations in temperature. The lowest floating sphere indicates the current temperature. We offer four different models, ranging in size from 12" to an impressive 24".
The Galilean thermometer works due to the principle of buoyancy, a force exerted by a fluid that opposes an object's weight. As the temperature of the air outside the thermometer changes, the temperature of the water surrounding the bubbles also changes. When the temperature of the water changes, it either expands or contracts, changing its density. Each bubble also differs slightly in density from the other bubbles. The bubble that sinks the most indicates the approximate current temperature.
Named for "The father of modern observational astronomy," Galileo Galilei, an Italian physicist and astronomer responsible for many astronomical advancements. The liquid inside the thermometer is actually a mixture of water and parafin oil.

Located between the Leidy Labs at 3740 Hamilton Walk & the Carolyn Lynch Labs at 433 South University Ave.
Planning Strategy:
By virtue of this sites location at the convergence of key vehicular and pedestrian approaches to the campus (Baltimore, Woodland, and University Avenues), the development is critical to the perception of the University by the adjacent community and the city as a whole. Rather than function as a barrier that separates the school from the neighborhood, the building should serve to link the two, providing a smooth transition between the academic environment and the surrounding community.
An expansion of the Lynch Laboratories, the new building will provide for the collaboration, exchange, and integration of knowledge that characterizes the study of Biology and Psychology at Penn. The new building(s) will house research laboratories, teaching facilities, and spaces designed for interactions to foster the kind of cross-disciplinary work that increasingly characterizes work in these fields.

Ganesha On The Dashboard provides an honest analytical picture of the lives of millions of Indians ruled simultaneously by technological progress and illogical superstition.
Summary Of The Book
India is fast becoming a global superpower on the fast track to success with its IT Boom and professional human resources. However, no matter how far the nation progresses, superstition still reigns supreme with millions of educated and smart Indians who go out of their way to take the unscientific route to supposed security and harmony. Ganesha On The Dashboard provides an uncompromising picture on this absurd dichotomy.
Ganesha On The Dashboard provides examples of superstitious beliefs and how they are detrimental to progress. The title is derived from the average Indian's strategy in buying a car. The date and time are carefully chosen so as to be auspicious, good luck traditions such as breaking a coconut are meticulously followed. To add the icing to an already traditionally brimming cake, an idol of Ganesha the protector is placed on the dashboard to ensure that every journey will be a safe one. Meanwhile actual safety precautions such as wearing a seatbelt and driving carefully are conveniently overlooked. After all what harm can come when Ganesha is riding along with you in the car?
Intelligent and highly educated Indians still overlook scientific temper when it comes to superstitions. Homes are remodeled using huge amount of money in keeping with Vastu guidelines for luck and prosperity, females are not even given the chance to be born as the rate of female infanticide continues to grow and if they are allowed to be born they are inevitably given the short shrift as males are the key to the father's place in heaven.
India may have stepped into the 21st century in terms of technology but definitely not in terms of mindset. Many traditions like intra-gothra marriages, keen adherence to astrology, caste issues and many other such stories are illustrated by way of examples and are critically dissected and laid bare to help readers understand their origins and their current hampering of progress. Ganesha On The Dashboard offers an objective view of the traditions of this complex country.

This is a book that needs to be read by every Indian. It does a critical analysis of the fatalistic temperament of the average Indian who holds time-worn beliefs and practices far dearer to his heart than the realms of logic and scientific temper. Dogmas prevail over common sense and superstitions over rationale.The primary aim of the book has been sharp and sometimes strident criticism of such unscientific demeanour that is so prevalent among most of us,our scientific education and qualifications notwithstanding. While for a large part, the book makes interesting reading, it does get to b... (Expand)
Do you always get bugged by "god-men"?
Do you always believe them,thinking that what they do is true?
In the end of the day,do you come home,crying because you got tricked?
Just leave the past,and read Ganesha on the dashboard.
The book talks about religion,and of course,science.
This masterpiece by V.Raghunathan and M.A Eswaran,
is mainly based on why Indians are more on religion than science.
They also checked on how science, a roughly 500 yr-old study made more changes in the modern era than religion, about 5000 yrs old.
If you want to know about the origin of God, origin of many religions, how they evolved, what should be their role, their limitations. The debate of Science vs. religion. The 50 some list of wonderful superstations collected from around the world. Scientific temper (power of questioning- west vs. east. why Indians lack?).

This book takes the reader on a humorous, yet educational, knowledgeable, and wonderful ride - gradually increasing the scientific and logical thinking and behavioural traits in the reader.
Apart from above, it also educates the reader on a variety of historical topics in a way he/she can apply logic to the problems faced in future.
In a society like India, such thinking is a must. For those who loved the recent movie "OMG Oh My God", this book would be like a cherry on top of the cake...
I brought the book on my father's request and ended up reading it myself. It starts off asking very interesting questions about our (Indian) day-to-day life and the approach to our common problems. It might not be as interesting a read in terms of literary prowess but certainly makes its point clear. It forces the reader to think about the lack of scientific temper (not to confuse with science, read more of it in the book) , very clearly portraying the facts making it a very strong argument.
I suggest you to get a copy, its worth a read and who knows, could change the way you approach life... (Expand)

Aid group: 355 dead after Syria chemical attackThe Associated Press | August 25,2013AP Photo
Syrian soldiers evacuate a wounded comrade during heavy clashes Saturday with rebels in Damascus, Syria.DAMASCUS, Syria Syrian state media accused rebels of using chemical arms against government troops in clashes Saturday near Damascus, while an international aid group said it has tallied 355 deaths from the purported chemical weapons attack earlier this week.
Doctors Without Borders said three hospitals it supports in the eastern Damascus region reported receiving roughly 3,600 patients with neurotoxic symptoms over less than three hours on Wednesday morning, when the attack in the eastern Ghouta area took place.
Of those, 355 died, said the Paris-based group. Death tolls have varied over the alleged attack, with Syrian anti-government activists reporting between 136 and 1,300 being killed.
Meanwhile, U.S. naval forces are moving closer to Syria as President Barack Obama considers military options for responding to the alleged use of chemical weapons by President Bashar Assads government.
U.S. defense officials told The Associated Press that the Navy had sent a fourth warship armed with ballistic missiles into the eastern Mediterranean Sea but without immediate orders for any missile launch into Syria. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they werent authorized to discuss ship movements publicly.
Obama emphasized that a quick intervention in the Syrian civil war was problematic, given the international considerations that should precede a military strike. The White House said the president would meet Saturday with his national security team to consider possible next steps by the United States. Officials say once the facts are clear, Obama will make a decision about how to proceed.
With the pressure increasing, Syrias state media Saturday accused rebels in the contested district of Jobar near Damascus of using chemical weapons against government troops advancing into the area. State media said the army offensive there had forced the rebels to resort to such weapons as their last card.
State TV broadcast images of plastic jugs, gas masks, vials of an unspecified medication, explosives and other items that it said were seized from rebel hideouts Saturday. It did not, however, show any video of soldiers reportedly affected by toxic gas in the fighting in the Jobar neighborhood of Damascus.
The claims could muddy the debate about who was responsible for Wednesdays alleged gas attack, which spurred demands for an independent investigation and renewed talk of potential international military action if chemical weapons were indeed used.
Just hours before the state media reports, the U.N. disarmament chief arrived in Damascus to press Assads regime to allow U.N. experts to investigate the alleged attack. The regime has denied allegations that it was behind that attack, calling them absolutely baseless and suggesting they are an attempt to discredit the government.
The U.S., Britain, France and Russia have urged the Assad regime and the rebels fighting to overthrow him to cooperate with the United Nations and allow a team of experts already in Syria to look into the latest purported use of chemical agents. The U.N. secretary-general dispatched Angela Kane, the high representative for disarmament affairs, to push for a speedy investigation into Wednesdays purported attack. She did not speak to reporters upon her arrival in Damascus Saturday.
The state news agency said several government troops who took part in the Jobar offensive experienced severe trouble breathing or even suffocation after armed terrorist groups used chemical weapons. It was not clear what was meant by suffocation and the report mentioned no fatalities among the troops.MORE IN This Just InTODAY'S WEATHER MINUTE: Researchers studying bones of long extinct gigantic cattle, the aurochs, recovered from a bog in Amesbury, Wiltshire, and tools used to kill and butcher them,declare that place the oldest human settlement in Britain. 0Rutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott shares local weather information and easily digestible...

Can a play about personal conflicts in the nascent world of psychiatry at the turn of the 20th century be translated into an effective film? In the hands of playwright/screenwriter Christopher Hampton, director David Cronenberg, and three exceptional actors, the answer is yes. It takes some getting used to, as we don't often see films that are so dependent on dialogue to express relationships. But if you avoid it because you don't like "talky" dramas you will miss some of the finest performances of the year.
Michael Fassbender, whose reputation is soaring on the basis of his widely varied work this year alone, is a riveting presence as Carl Jung, the meticulous, impeccably-groomed doctor who adopts Sigmund Freud's daring technique of talking out problems to deal with his latest patient, a Russian Jewess (Keira Knightley) suffering from extreme anxiety.
In time, he gets to meet his hero, played with perfectly-judged sangfroid by Viggo Mortensen. Freud welcomes Jung as a friend and protégé, but as the story progresses their relationship becomes strained because of the older man's massive ego. He is unwilling to entertain any serious ideas other than his own.
A deeply troubled analyst, played by Vincent Cassel, is sent to Jung for treatment by Freud, and turns out to be a dangerous provocateur who stirs up a hornet's nest of trouble.
A Dangerous Methodis exquisitely mounted, but it is also, for all the fire simmering underneath the surface, a placid film—except in Knightley's opening scenes, where she is on the verge of combustion. It may be difficult to fully embrace on an emotional level, but it offers a level of intellectual stimulus we rarely get in English-language cinema.
Patrick M. Gouin | January 26, 2012 3:36 PM
A lovely reconstruction of Europe at the beginning of the XXth century. The characters are beautiful also. Everything is so clean, it's almost unreal. One could say too beautiful to be true. There lies my first problem with this film. The impeccable cleanliness of the sets, the whitest teeth in the close ups are not the impressions I have of that era. The action is very theatrical with lots of stiff dialogue. Finally, the other problem I have is that there is little setting up for this story. In my opinion, those who aren't very familiar with the history of psychoanalysis might have a difficult time following the story. The film does have the benefit of introducing to a new generation the story of two of history's giants: Sigmund Freud and Karl Jung. But a very shallow introduction it is. I would wait for the video release.

49th Street Closure Update
Lots 5 and 8 Still Open
49th Street will be partially closed for the installation of utilities to support construction of the Foreman Field game-day building and parking garage.
The construction and closure will last anywhere from 10 to 20 days.
The closure will begin at 49th Street and Hampton Boulevard to the eastern entrance to Parking Lot 8 (next to the Kornblau Alumni Center). With the exception of construction vehicles, no turns will be allowed from Hampton Boulevard onto that section of 49th Street during this time, and cars traveling west on 49th Street will not be able to drive across Hampton Boulevard. (See yellow highlighted area on map.)
Parking Lot 8 and Lot 5, at the south end of Rollins Hall, will be accessible by turning onto 49th Street from either Elkhorn or Powhatan avenues, heading in the direction of Hampton Boulevard.
The western entrance to Lot 8 is currently marked "Exit Only," but that sign will be removed to allow access to two-way traffic.
Following completion of the first phase of construction and utility work, 49th Street will be closed from the western entrance of Lot 8 (second entrance away from the alumni center) to Bluestone Avenue. Bluestone also will be closed during this time. (See purple highlighted area on map.)
The duration of this closure will be approximately 35 days.
Lots 8 and 5 by will be accessible from Hampton Boulevard and from the east end of 49th Street during this second phase of construction by using the Lot 8 entrance next to the alumni center.
Vehicles bound for Lot 5 will be able to access it via a new passage that will be cut through the sidewalk in the northwest corner of Lot 8. There will be signage in Lot 8 to direct traffic.
There will be no significant effect on the number of parking spaces available during these closures. All meters have been removed from Lot 8 to create more parking spaces for faculty and staff.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Jeff Carter realizes the Los Angeles Kings expect their newest acquisition to score goals immediately and often.
The NHL's lowest-scoring team hopes Carter can solve enough of its offensive woes to get the Kings back to the playoffs.
Carter reported to Staples Center on Saturday and passed his physical after arriving from Columbus in a trade for defenseman Jack Johnson and a conditional first-round pick. He is expected to be in the Kings' lineup Saturday night against Chicago.
Carter says he wasn't surprised to be traded after just 39 games with the Blue Jackets, although he didn't ask to leave the league's worst team.
He's surprised to be reuniting with Mike Richards, his longtime teammate and sometime linemate in Philadelphia before the Flyers traded both forwards last summer.

My last beer of my big CHRISTmas order this year I saved for a Michigan victory Tuesday night.Poured into an imperial pint glass a deep burnt orange with sticky one finger white crown.Huge fresh hops after opening the bottle,grapefruit and tropical fruit just jump in your face,crazy fresh just awesome.Not overly sweet on the palate like way to many of the style just powerful hops with mild alcohol and caramel sweetness underneath the hop onslaught.I loved this beer to me this is what a DIPA should,just great.

Appearance - This is a beautiful, glowing orange in color with a smallish head.
Smell - The aroma is an explosion of various hops. It is very stiff, full of pine resin but balanced enough not to be a one smell wonder. There's a really nice orange character to the smell, and the fruits are bitter but pronounce. If you enjoy the smell of hops and just can't get enough, this is as good as it gets.
Taste - The hops rule the roost here as well. There's a nice tangerine flavor that continually battles the monster pine. It is just enough not to leave you with that singular hop flavor. You know the one, when you really like the taste but it seems too one-dimensional to be considered brilliant.
There's a massive malt character to this beer, but the hops are so big you can barely taste it. This is definitely West Coast and not for the faint of heart.
Mouthfeel - This is a big medium-bodied with plenty of hop bitterness to keep the drinker sipping. I can't find any evidence of the 10+ ABV. This beer is a bit too lightly carbonated, it's only real fault.
Drinkability - This is a slow-drinking hop-bomb that is sure to satisfy even the hardest of the hard core hop-heads. I thoroughly enjoyed this magnificent effort by Port Brewing and look forward to watching my wife drink the rest of the bottles.

Another bottle supplied by zoso1967... thanks, man. Imbibed with BuckyFresh on 10-16-10.
A: The color is a cloudy, murky golden orange. A yellowish-white half finger head recedes to a bubbly film that retains well. I can't see the carbonation bubbles through the cloudiness of the beer. The lacing is fine and sticky.
S: A variety of hop aromas waft out of the glass. There are your tropical fruit hop smells, strong grassy hop notes, subdued citrus scents, and bitter earthy notes. A caramel malt presence is also available to my nose as a balance to the hops.
T: Wow, I was not expecting quite that blast of hops on my palate. I mean, the smell was hoppy, but that is an all-out hop assault on my mouth. At first sip, heavy caramel malts blend with a very grassy hoppiness that results in a tropical fruit flavor. My tongue senses a good alcoholic heat, followed by a lingering hop bitterness, which captures the essence of eating a hop, but without the palate destroying properties.
M: For how big the flavor is, the MF is a bit thin and unsubstantial. I like the puckering hop bitterness, though.
D: For an Imperial IPA with so many hoppies, this is nicely drinkable. I would seek this out again and the next time I try it I would want it to be extremely fresh. I'm pretty sure this bottle is a little old (at least 4+ months) and the hops still blew my face off.

22oz bomber. Love the label with the planes dropping hops as bombs! Pours into my glass a deep red orange color that's on the darker side with a nice half inch of creamy eggshell head on top that fades rather quickly. Aromas of deep sweet caramel candy malt run underneath a wall of bountiful hops. Mega grapefruit citrus aromas, like you just picked one off the tree and cut it open! Pine scents are in full force too. Can grapefruits grown on pine trees?? The dense aroma has some herbal spiciness to it as well...simply lovely. The aroma I dream about when I think of a great DIPA. This is up there with the best of the best.
First sip brings an instant smack of hops. A great amalgamation of grapefruit, citrus, tropical and piney flavors rush across the palate and bring a smile to my face. Lots of complex hop oils. It seriously takes like a fresh green hop cone. Yum! Flows down with some herbal spiciness alongside a nice caramel malt that has some candy, sugary aspects to it as well. There's just enough malt backbone here. One of the best double IPA's out there without a doubt.
Mouthfeel is dense with a nice chewiness to it as well. Just enough carbonation makes this brew almost too easy to consume. Damn good stuff. I could see myself drinking too much of this and getting in trouble real easily! I wish they would give up the secret as to what 15 hops are used in here...but ultimately they all work together to create a wonderful beer. Glad to see this bottled again, now I must get more. Thanks to KingG for the trade.

I have yet to be disappointed by a Port Brewing Company beer.
With all the emoting about hop forward beers on BA I am increasingly amazed that Port doesn't receive its share of praise.
Its well presented citrus taste is very pleasing to the palate. It satisfies the need for a good hop forward beer without overpowering the senses.
Very drinkable. Gone before I realized I finished the whole bottle.

22 oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head that quickly diminishes. A very vigorous pour produced a medium creamy white head that retained for a while.
The aroma is sweet melon and caramel with piney peppery grapefruit hops.
The flavor is sweet caramel malts and some melons quickly followed by a big bitter finish with resiney peppery fruity and kind of salty/tarry hops that linger in the aftertaste. The alcohol is well hidden other than the warming. The mouthfeel is medium to full with low carbonation.
Overall, a very solid DIPA. The flavor, especially the salty/tarry notes, kept it from being a top tier.

Delicious! Thanks IntriqKen. Beer Powerball is the greatest and without it I would not be trying this beer.
Looks, smells and tastes wonderful. There is a clear grapefruit hoppness that is not matched with an equally bitter flavor as one might expect. This is delicious. I could easily drink a couple and not realize it.
I wish this was available around here.

Pours a murky orange/golden with very impressive carbonation and a nice big head. This is one of the best smelling beers of all time, simply exquisite. Smells like wonderful citrus hops that beg you to take a drink. Taste is a very nice blend of citrus and earthy hops with sweet malts. Not too bitter at all. Medium body is veyr nice. Very drinkable for a DIPA. I don't like DIPAs as much as IPAs, but this one is pretty exceptional.

750ml green magnum with a bottle # but no freshness date. This bottle was corked and capped.
Appearance: Light on the carbonation, this provides only a thin lace on top of the tawny hued brew.
Smell: Raw hop aroma, lots of hop leaf and pungent oil. Piney and citrus with a creamy alcohol smell in the back.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Creamy full body, almost syrupy and very little carbonation. Hop flavours and bitterness dominate the palate. Alcohol swoons in and out to warm the mouth and body and is quite noticeable in the finish. Faint tropical fruit, piney flavours, citric rind. Touch of caramel from the malt. Finishes with a big bittersweet taste, more bitter for sure.
Notes: A nice nightcap or a major hop fix, it numbs the taste buds beyond recognition with bitterness and flavour.

Citric, resiny hops from start to luscious finish. Go get some and enjoy. $8.99 at Spirit House in Amherst Ma.

The Beers of California
Bottled Date: 3/16/13
A: A beautiful, deep golden haze topped off with a bone white head of small bubbles which retreats to the glass.
S: Big and fresh with equal parts tropical, citrus, and earthy sweetness. There is also a faint alcohol tinge in the nose.
T: There is a a great breadth of hops flavors; hints of mango and tropical fruit open to a bouquet of orange rind, pine needles, spring flowers, and freshly mowed grass. The overshadowed maltiness is brown sugar and bread. The finish is spicy bitter with solid alcohol warmth which dies a puckering ending.
M: Medium feel with that classic hop oil linger with supernatural palate coating abilities.
The moderate carbonation supports the palate.
O: I was stoked to see this brew on shelves, which escalated after seeing the recent bottled on date. Strong hop flavors nearly strangle the palate to unrecoverable as 15 hop varieties have there way with your taste buds. A wonderful Imperial IPA most enjoyed by the hop heads out there.

QuoteIf you are going to make up sh*t, at least make it believable.
You know what i believe, i believe if you walk into ANY camera shop in the US you will consistently find the d800 out of stock, and more often than not a 5d3 in stock....I'm not making up the fact that I can buy and have a 5d3 in my hands within one day if I want one, if I want a d800, then I better say a prayer....I believe that both companies have similar manufacturing capabilities so I'm guessing that the supply side is similar.....and as I said earlier, only nikon and canon know the supply side, but the demand side seems to favor Nikon.....so - $3000 by year end for my guess.
Your logic is overwhelming. Did you consider the fact that there are more 5D Mark III's out there than D800's? Additionally, do you know Canon and Nikon production volume capabilities? You're making this conclusion because you see store shelves? Wow. Look at the overall market. Canon dominates Nikon in overall market. Maybe you are right, not in these particular two cameras, but your viewpoint is quite narrow and probably inaccurate.

This Is Why People Grow Old
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but giving up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair – these are the long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. You are as young as your faith and as old as your doubts; as young as you self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair. ― James E. Faust

There are several things you can do to help reduce wrinkles. There's no one magical formula, but it's a combination of things – lifestyle, food and drink, amount of sun exposure, vitamins, facial rejuvenation creams, and even the position of your body while sleeping! It sounds like a lot of work, but most of these involve simple things you can do each day to help reduce and prevent wrinkles. Here are some brief pointers…

I caught this at the tail end of the keg's life. No complaints here however.
This pours cloudy, yeasty, with a ton of foam. Lots of yeast from the bottom of the keg accounts for the appearance. It has a big estery bouquet, floral, light, spicy. The flavor is light, delicate, and dances off the palate. A fantastic saison.

On-tap at the Manhattan Ginger Man.
A: Hazy pale orange-yellow body with a sticky cap of ultra-fine white foam. Good retention, great lace.
S: Very fruity, very spicy, very phenolic. Lots of pepper, tangerine, and breadiness. Very nice.
T: A bit fruitier than the nose, with the phenols pushed toward the back by some prominent tart apple. Dry, spicy finish. Quite good indeed.
M: Prickly, hugely effervescent medium body. A bit much.
O: Really enjoyable beer; I didn't get anything particularly floral out of it (I'm assuming from the name that it actually has flowers in it somehow), but it was a very nice Saison all the same.

On-tap at The Avenue Pub. A bit of confusion as to what beer this actually was but I believe this is the correct listing taken from another site, but correct me if I'm wrong please, Polly.
16oz pour to a cervoise. Pours mostly head. Manipulated to a 1 1/2 inch bright white head. Very fine bubbles in the head. Rigid as it slowly dissipates to a film of good thickness. Nice honey orange color that is both hazy and cloudy.
Nose is the highlight here. Full of orange and lemon zest, fresh flowers, grass and lavender with just the slightest hint of funk at the end. Taste is dominated by the floral notes and lavender with a nice lemon and citrus hop bitterness to finish, almost too bitter actually. Good high carbonation, very lively on the tongue and light bodied. Aout average drinkability.
A lovely saison that I may have to head over to the pub for again tomorrow.

Hazed golden body, thick white cap that retains well with some lacing.
S - Farmhouse yeast, herbal, grassy, lemon candy and zest
T - Follows the nose, being a little more herbal and maybe some mint. Suffers from a low carbonation level, holding back some of the tastes that may be there.
M - Light in body, low in carbonation, feeling thin and really lacking that light, creamy feeling. Finishes on the bitter side, but not dry or clean enough.
O - Nice tastes and smell, but needs some refining, esp. with some more carb.

Gingerbread Cake
Hands-On Time: 15min
Cook Time: 1h
Ready In: 1h 15min
Yield: one 9-inch square cake
This gingerbread, a classic holiday dessert, has a lighter texture than most due to a touch of sour cream in the batter. I think it's delicious served warm with a bit of apple sauce and crème fraiche. The kids like it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream. Either way, you'll want to make this often, not just during the holidays.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square pan.
- Cream the butter together with the sugar until light and fluffy. Whisk in the molasses and sour cream. Add eggs, continuing to beat until well-blended.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and ginger. Add to the wet ingredients and beat just until smooth.
- Pour into the pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack.
