Sunita Chaudhary, Carina Deegan & Laura Turkington form the Red Rickshaw revolutionaries
There are various ways to celebrate special occasions. While some opt for gifting and others dine, three women chose to celebrate Women's Day with a difference this year.
On 9th March 2013, Laura Turkington, Director of the Vodafone Foundation in India, Carina Deegan, who supports the Foundation's activities and Sunita Chaudhary, first female auto rickshaw driver in Delhi NCR, have commenced their Red Rickshaw Revolution, a unique initiative to celebrate the achievements of ordinary women accomplishing extraordinary feats across India. The objective of this initiative is to spread awareness, garner support and raise funds for NGOs working to empower several other such women.
Meet The Revolutionaries
Laura Turkington is the director of Vodafone Foundation in India and the brain behind the idea of Red Rickshaw Initiative. She believes that being a woman is a special thing and it should never be taken for granted.
Carina Deegan of Foundation Support and Wonder Woman was the first and last girl to attend an all boys Christian Brothers School in Ireland.
Sunita Chaudhary is the first rickshaw driver in Delhi NCR and a Shah Rukh Khan fan! She delights in the different facets of a woman's personality and believes that a woman can be a Goddess and a destroyer too.
The Red Rickshaw Revolution
As part of the Red Rickshaw Revolution these three ladies will traverse from Delhi to Mumbai, a distance of 1500 kms, in a specially designed rickshaw and pass through Alwar, Jaipur, Ajmer, Chittorgarh, Udaipur, Ahmadabad, Vadodara, Surat and Daman and will reach Mumbai on 18th March 2013. While travelling, they will be meeting ordinary women who have been the change they wanted to see! They will be using social media to constanly share the stories of the women they meet in the hope to find support for them and also inspire other women in India.
Speaking about the initiative Laura Turkington said, "The 'Red Rickshaw Revolution' as an initiative was conceptualized from a small concept of riding a rickshaw and getting to meet some of the amazing women in India who have been working selflessly for a social cause. The idea is to give these women a platform to voice their stories. By undertaking this journey, we plan to reach out to maximum number of people and build awareness around this campaign through various social media streams and encourage them to join the revolution."
Sunita Chaudhary adds, "The 'Red Rickshaw Revolution' is a great campaign and it inspired me to contribute by creating awareness about women empowerment. While we celebrate Women's Day, not many people are aware about their rights of being a woman. I am very excited to be a part of this campaign as it will highlight achievements of the ordinary women who have accomplished extraordinary feat."
Follow The Red Rickshaw Revolution
You can follow the ladies journey in the Red Rickshaw Revolution across various social media platforms. Check out their website or on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube.
Get Involved
The 'Red Rickshaw Revolution' will raise funds for 3 renowned NGOs, Apne Aap Women's Collective (AAWC), Breakthrough and Corp India. All funds generated will be used by these three NGOs for educating the underprivileged, provide sustainable livelihoods, and providing safety for women. Participate in this initiative by sharing your thoughts on "What makes you proud to be a woman"?

I'm sure faster than most expected. Particularly Randy. He doesn't like releasing newer characters, it seems. I ordered mine right away, so I wouldn't have to worry. Plus, if memory serves correct, it was made to order. So all you had to do is get your order in before the deadline.

text: Can't connect to the internet anymore (hardware and/or software issue) Tags: Connection Virus Internet Networking Last response: January 21, 2013 1:28 AM in Networking Share cmasupra January 19, 2013 11:57:47 PM I am having trouble connecting to the internet now. I spent the last 2 days trying to get rid of a virus on my desktop computer, but I'm not sure if the virus and my loss of internet are related. I connect to the internet using Ethernet. I stopped being able to connect maybe 16 hours ago while I was running various Linux live CDs to try to remove the virus. At first (2 days ago), the CDs were able to connect to the internet, but then they all of a sudden stopped being able to. I thought, "Oh, well. I don't need them to connect anyway". Now, the virus is removed, but I can't connect to the internet in Windows 7, any Linux live CDs, or OS X (hackintosh). I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software problem. I don't know if the virus could have screwed something up to cause all of my OSes to not be able to connect to the internet, or if I just got unlucky and my motherboard's built-in NIC died while I was dealing with a virus. Can anyone help me run tests or give ideas on how to fix the issue? Extra info: 1) If I plug the same Ethernet cable into my laptop, my laptop is able to use it for internet, so the cable isn't a problem. 2) I can't even connect to my router from my desktop computer (the computer with the connection issue). More about : connect internet anymore hardware software issue strongvpn January 20, 2013 8:03:01 AM There are a lot of reasons,such as NIC driver is broken m 0 l inzone January 20, 2013 4:06:32 PM With trouble shooting you have to take one thing at a time and then go to the next because if you jump around trying different things you'll never get it fixed. Start with the adapter driver and make sure that it's ok , delete it and the reload it. First download the current driver from the support page of the adapter and save it to your desktop so when you delete the one you have you can load the new one. Before loading the nw one empty the recycle bin so Windows don't grab it back. Even though you tested the ethernet cable you should try another to make sure. After loading the new driver go into device manager and make sure it says that the device is working properly. Do a hard reset of the router , that is unplug it and then plug it back in, waiting 10-20 sec before re-pluging it in. Also shutting down the computer at this time and restarting it once the router is back on. Once you have done all this take a look at the Lan port with the cable pluged in and see if there are any lights on. There are two small leds on the adapter that will tell you that the adapter is on and that traffic is maoving through it. One will be green and on all the time and the other will be orange or yellow and be blinking. m 0 l Related resources Multiple Users' setup - can't connect to internet anymore - Forum task bar won't show network connection.. can't connect to internet, says "did not detect any networking hardware" when trying - Forum Laptop won't connect to Internet due to "software issue" - Forum Can't find your answer ? Ask ! Get the answer cmasupra January 20, 2013 8:34:32 PM I followed all the steps and also ran the Realtek Ethernet Diagnostic Utility before your steps and after your steps. Realtek Ethernet Diagnostic Utility said all the hardware was working fine both times. However, I still can't get a network connection after running your steps. I don't have a green or orange light near my Ethernet port. I don't think I've ever had a green light (maybe the bulb was out, or the orange one was simply much brighter so I didn't notice a green light). I definitely used to have an orange light, though. Do you or anyone have any other ideas? Is there any setting that could be in the Realtek Windows network driver and possibly affect its working ability in all 3 OSes? I've listed all the driver settings and their current value below in case you or anyone sees anything that is obviously wrong: Auto Disable Gigabit: Disabled Flow Control: Enabled Green Ethernet: Enabled Interrupt Moderation: Enabled IPv4 Checksum Offload: Rx & Tx Enabled JumboFrame: Disabled Large Send Offload v2 (IPv4): Enabled Large Send Offload v2 (IPv6): Enabled Network Address: Not Present Priority & VLAN: Priority & VLAN Enabled Receive Buffers: 512 Receive Side Scaling: Enabled Shutdown Wake-On-Lan: Enabled Speed & Duplex: Auto Negotiation TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4): Rx & Tx Enabled TCP Checksum Offload (IPv6): Rx & Tx Enabled Transmit Buffers: 128 UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4): Rx & Tx Enabled UDP Checksum Offload (IPv6): Rx & Tx Enabed Wake on Magic Packet: Enabled Wake on Pattern Match: Enabled WOL & Shutdown Link Speed: 10 Mbps First I have WOL enabled because I use it on this machine just for convenience (when I have a connection). In the Windows settings, I used to have IPv4 set to a static IP, but I changed it back to dynamic when this problem started. Neither one works right now, though. m 0 l inzone January 20, 2013 9:12:53 PM If you don't have the lights on the lan port then there is something wrong with the Lan adapter. There are two things it could be , the Lan connector is defective and thus broken or danaged and second it is disabled in the bios. Have you checked the status of the Lan controller in the bios ? m 0 l cmasupra January 20, 2013 9:35:16 PM Everything looks good to me in the BIOS. Here are all the network-related settings: Onboard H/W LAN: Enabled Green LAN: Disabled (while the Windows setting is enabled, so that's interesting) Onboard LAN Boot ROM: Enabled The only interesting thing I see there is that Green LAN is disabled in the BIOS, but it's enabled in the driver in Windows. I manually disabled it in the BIOS years ago (so I could use WOL). m 0 l cmasupra January 21, 2013 1:28:53 AM Little update: I went out and bought a cheap Asus PCI NIC (Asus NX1101) and it's working in Windows only. I would still like to get the motherboard's built-in network card working again if possible. m 0 l Can't find your answer ? Ask !

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Geovany Soto hit a game-ending homer for Texas after A.J. Pierzynski had already gone deep in the ninth off Los Angeles Angels closer Ernesto Frieri, and the Rangers snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory Monday night. Pierzynski led off the ninth by pulling a pitch into the right-field seats, his 11th homer this season snapping a 4-for-27 slump and tying the game. Nelson Cruz followed with a single off Frieri (0-3) before David Murphy grounded into a double play. Soto, who entered the game hitting only .198 this season, then hit a towering flyball to left that easily cleared the wall. Jason Frasor (1-2) pitched a scoreless ninth for Texas, three days after he gave up a game-ending homer in an 11-inning loss at Cleveland. Texas had gone 26 innings without scoring a run, two short of the 41-year-old team record, until Ian Kinsler's RBI single in the sixth to get the Rangers within 3-1.

2/22/2007—Omvox Telecom has launched a new grant allowance program for K-12 schools in the United States, offering a total of $500,000. Schools can receive up to $2,500, which can be used to fund Omvox's Alertify mass notification system.
According to Omvox, all public and private elementary, middle and high schools in the United States are eligible for the grants. Money awarded through the program can be used to fund a school's implementation of Alertify, a Web-hosted service that allows schools to communicate with the community via telephone and e-mail. Alertify allows users to record voice messages and send them to desired recipients wit one phone call. Alerts and notifications can be sent to land lines, cellular phones, and e-mail.
The system, according to Omvox, is currently being used in schools to report emergency closings, to notify the community of school events and deadlines, to announce policy changes, and to perform other functions.
The company said there are no prerequisites to qualify for the grant. Schools wishing to apply for the money can do so immediately by contacting Kimberly Alsobrook at 866-525-3784, ext. 257. As of press time, there was no information about the grant program available on the company's website.

Why the Legacy of 'Almost Famous' Will Never Die
Because my film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's book, Child of God, will be released this August, I thought I would publish a discussion I had on my previous attempts at transforming literature into film. When I was at NYU, I made three short films based on the following poems: "The Feast of Stephen" (Anthony Hecht), "Herbert White" (Frank Bidart), and "The Clerk's Tale" (Spencer Reece). What you will read below is a talk I had about those films, chiefly The Feast of Stephen, with Matt Rager. Matt co-wrote the screenplays for my movies The Sound and the Fury and As I Lay Dying—both of which are also adaptations. During my talk with Matt, we touched on everything from what it means to adapt a film to the impact constraints can have on the creative process.
Matt Rager: Anytime people view a film adaptation of a piece of literature, they talk in terms of how "true" it was to the original. But all film adaptations are interpretations. They're translations from text to sound and moving images. Adapting poems into film seems to require even more overt interpretation, because they often lack a narrative structure and rely on metaphor and ambiguity. So what does it mean to be "true" to those poems? And how important was this (if at all) to you in the making of your films?
James Franco: Poems are denser than prose writing. And they depend on language, syntax, diction, lineation, and metaphor in ways that films do not. I chose three narrative poems, but they are still much more diffuse and allusive than most short stories. "Herbert White" and "The Clerk's Tale" are told in the first person, so we get a sense of the characters just from the way they tell their stories. Those characters were something that I could center the narratives on.
To adapt the poems directly to the screen might involve those characters talking right to the audience, reading the text, since these poems are poems of characters relating their experience. But that was not what I wanted. Narration is a device that puts an additional mediating layer of interpretation between the audience and the characters/action. I wanted to deliver visceral films and connect the audience with the experience of the narratives, rather than telling them what the experience was. The poems themselves were already giving the telling experience. As poems, they were being told in a very sculpted and precise way. The structures of the poems commented on the material and shaped the material as much as the actual stories did. The how had as much influence as the what. My goal was to keep as much of the what intact while changing the how.
The poems "Herbert White" and "The Clerk's Tale" have more of a narrative structure than "The Feast of Stephen." "The Feast of Stephen" does not focus on distinct characters, and as a result it has an abstract quality. In film version of The Feast of Stephen, you focalize the scenes through the perspective of an individual character. Could you talk a little more about the decision of making this shift?
Of the three poems, this was the one that had the least character development. It has characters in it, and there is a progression, but until the last stanza, the characters are described as a group, rather than as distinct individuals. The first two stanzas, set in a locker room and a basketball gymnasium, describe boys coming into their new bodies. The boys are not differentiated. Sometimes there is subtle distancing from these boys, like the last two lines of the second stanza that seems to be describing the gym from a distance. Let's associate this subtle distant perspective with the authorial perspective. Even when the boys are described as inspecting each other, it doesn't sound as if the voice of the poem is their voice. It is too sophisticated, the metaphors are too advanced, the diction too high. So there is another kind of consciousness present, even if it isn't described within the actual substance of the poem. In the third stanza, there is a sharp change in the development of the poem's subject: The pubescent and exploring boys are now described as violent. They are compared to an SS officer and are at an ominous hangout where there are cracked mirrors and weapons like gasoline and knives. The members of the group are not individuated, but the group's identification has changed: The inchoate boys have become evil and potentially destructive. The last stanza finally differentiates some of the characters: There is a violent group of boys and two new characters, one described as a "young Saul," which is an allusion to the apostle Paul before he was converted to Christianity on the road to Damascus. Before he was Paul, he was Saul—a man who would hold the clothes of the Roman soldiers as they destroyed the Christian martyrs. The metaphor of a "young Saul" recasts the teenage beating scene with a much deeper significance. The boy who is being beaten is another new character freshly differentiated from the group. He is compared to a martyr. It is not clear why he is being beaten, although the first two stanzas lean heavily on homoerotic descriptions, suggesting that violence is homophobic in nature. If the first stanzas show the boys in a state of discovery and uncertainty, the later stanzas could be read as moments after the boys have decided that the innocent observations that took place in the early stanzas were wrong, that that kind of behavior should be punished.
So, when adapting this material into a film, how does one depict these scenes? Who are the characters? Do you just depict a group of boys without any of them standing out? If they are observing each other, then you need to focus on some of the characters. This deals with questions of perspective: Is it a first-person POV or a third-person POV? The voice of the poem seems to be a third-person POV that moves in and out of various proximities with the boys. If I were to adapt the poem as literally as possible, meaning using the text of the poem as a kind of voice-over (as I had originally planned), then one could say that the voice-over speaker would be the primary perspective. If that were the approach then the boys could be presented as a group, one could focus on individual faces without necessarily needing to give any one of the group priority over the others. The action could easily be spread amongst them, or one could have more activity than the others and he would start to become the focalizer. I originally planned to use the text of the poem as voice-over because I was required to make the short film without sync sound, meaning I could not have dialogue. This was an exercise to teach me how to tell a story with images. I thought that I would shoot the images and then read the poem over the top. The movie was going to be about four minutes, the perfect length for the reading of the poem. But I still thought I would develop a few characters so that I could create drama. I wanted distinct characters in order to play them off of each other.
Your discussion of the presence of a narrative consciousness embedded within the diction and syntax of the poem, and the distance that this language creates, highlights an interesting example of the fundamental differences between film and text. The linguistic presence of the author, narrator, or other presumed speaker exists in poetry without the reader feeling as if this presence is somehow an imposition on the scene itself. But in film, the camera transforms the neutral presence of the poetic consciousness into a voyeuristic presence. Feast of Stephen is a great example of this difference. The way I see it, you had to focalize the watching of the boys through a character's eyes—more specifically, through the perspective of another boy. If the perspective had been left omniscient, it would have been hard to convey the sense of self-exploration, curiosity, and discovery inherent in the poem. How does this change impact our interpretation of the ending?
In Stephen, I decided to personify the gaze that seems present in the opening stanzas of the poem. As I said before, it seems like someone is watching the boys as they are looking at each other. A big influence on the style of this film was Scorpio Rising by Kenneth Anger. Anger made it in the 60s. He filmed a group of real New York bikers in their garages, homes, and churches. The bikers were probably tough and heterosexual, but the way that Anger captures them makes them seem extremely homoerotic. He pans slowly up their bodies, he gets them shirtless, he films one in bed with pictures of James Dean on the wall while Marlon Brando in The Wild Ones plays on the TV. Anger's gaze transforms them. The most transformative scene is one of a Halloween party. The gang gets together, and there are no women. They start cavorting, and some of them pull their clothes off. Anger's depiction makes it seem like they are a gay biker gang. But on the commentary track for the new DVD set of Anger's work, he says that the bikers' girlfriends were present, but the bikers wouldn't let the women on camera. In other words, it is their decision that contributes to the homosexual overtones. They shove one man's face into their crotches, one man rides off naked on the back of another man's motorcycle, and one man is held down while his pants are removed and spicy mustard is poured on his genitals. These activities signify as either drunken initiation rituals or as rough foreplay, depending on how the camera captures them and the film presents them. With this idea in mind, I decided to use a character to transform the activities of the young boys into homoerotic fantasy. I took the Saul/Stephen figure from the end of the poem and introduced him at the beginning of the film and used his perspective as a kind of Kenneth Anger transformative gaze.
The film version of The Feast of Stephen could be read as an adaptation of Scorpio Rising as much as it is an adaptation of the poem "The Feast of Stephen." Thinking about it from this perspective raises all sorts of interesting questions about what other "intertexts" have been incorporated into a piece of work. Was it your intent all along to incorporate an Anger-esque style to the film?
The Kenneth Anger influence arose as we developed the film. When I begin to think about a film, the overall look starts to appear in my head. There is the scene in the poem where the boys are at their hangout and it feels like a 50s-type of gang. They have chains, and they are compared to SS officers. It feels postwar, like Brando from The Wild Ones. But there was something more authentic that I wanted to capture. I didn't want them to feel like characters. There is something about how we tell stories that make characters seem less real. We feel the manipulation shaping them, and thus as scary as they are, they are always characters. The fact that Anger's bikers were real bikers who were being transformed by his gaze was really attractive to me. The whole aesthetic of Stephen was informed by this transformative gaze in Anger's film. I liked the low-tech, 16mm feel, and the fact that everything was overlaid with all the pop hits of the time. I liked how the music contrasted with the imagery but also changed the significance of the imagery. I have no music in my film, but I used Vincent Price's laughter from the Michael Jackson "Thriller" video because it was so over-the-top. I felt like the laughter contrasted with the images. But after a while, it also commented on the images. That point in the film is interesting to me, because the laughter is introduced over the images of the imagined gang rape, and thus the laughter seems to emanate from the rapists' side of the experience. As the laugh continues, the boys smear dog shit on Stephen's face. But then it continues—they leave, and Stephen looks back at the camera with a smile on his face. At that moment it is as if it has been Stephen's laugh all along, just as in some way Stephen has been in control of this whole situation. In the very least, the other boys have been implicated into a situation that they were not in complete control of, despite their use of force.
This film started out as a class project, with certain parameters. The Oulipo writers (Calvino, Perec, et al.) believed that radical constraints are a catalyst to creative thinking. Did the assignment requirements have a similarly catalyzing, effect or were they just a pain in the butt?
The restraints definitely helped me shape this movie. Since I couldn't use dialogue, and elected not to read the poem in voice-over, I was compelled to only use images to interpret it. This forced me to embrace the fact that I was making something different from the poem and that the film would never be an exact translation of the poem. For example, in Herbert White there is the tree-cutting machine. This machine is not in the poem, but it acts as a metaphor for Herbert in the film. Once we found that tree machine, we hardly had to do anything to characterize Herbert; the machine did all the work. It's the same in poetry—you look for metaphors and ways of telling that characterize the subject matter.
An Inside Look at the Making of Wes Anderson's 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'
Fear is the worst, and I've got loads of it. I've got an inordinate fear of yoga—actually, I have a fear of being terrible at yoga. I can't touch my toes, and I fart when I try. Plus I think about all of the pretty girls who go to yoga, which makes the whole thing even more problematic for me, because I'm afraid of talking to pretty girls. They're either terribly mean or terribly dumb. I can't even get started on my fear of talking to people whose names I have forgotten, because it's everyone's. Everyday fears like these run rampant through my brain, alongside making rent, eating properly, and trying to remember if I locked the door when I left the apartment. It gets worse when my inner voice starts fretting over things of note, like succeeding at my job, love, and life.
Tom Moody has these same problems. Part of Tom is filled with major self-doubt, part of him is super-confident, and both parts won't stop fighting each other. He suffers from delusions of grandeur and inadequacy. I guess that's what happens when your mom sleeps with the ice cream man and your dad refuses to be patient with you (probably because his wife is sleeping with the ice cream man). Thirty-two years later, when Tom intends to make his debut musical performance at an open mic, all of these fears of inadequacy come rushing back. Of course, Tom is working with corny pop songs instead of a downward-dog yoga position but he's still dealing with what pretty girls might think of him.
The short film is animated beautifully with awkward characters by Ainslie Henderson. You can see and feel the struggle, which is voiced with humor and sincerity by the very underrated Mackenzie Crook. There are aspects of the character we all know too well. "A person finding his voice" is something that's been done 1,000,000,000 times, but it remains a timeless story. And although this one shows its symbolism all too obviously and things pan out all too conveniently, there's so much heart and genuine anguish in this animation, that it's hard to fault. Facing your fears is an important lesson to learn and action to take. I'm sure if I finally went to yoga, I'd feel better—not just because that's the point of yoga, but because I would have gotten off my ass and looked at some girls.
Ainslie Henderson completed I Am Tom Moody for his graduation film at the University of Edinburgh. It was recently nominated for a BAFTA award for Best British Short Animation. It won the 2013 Slamdance Grand Jury Prize for Animated Short as well as many other awards and nods from international festivals. If you like it, you should check out his making-of video, which is basically a companion piece to I Am Tom Moody. It showcases Ainslie experiencing all of the torment and insecurities of his main character, while painstakingly animating his main character.

The Palm Drive Hospital board voted Wednesday to proceed with its plans to close the Sebastopol hospital on Monday, even as it entered into last-ditch negotiations with a nonprofit foundation that is desperately seeking to keep the facility open.
The decision came after a two-hour board meeting that drew more than 150 people to the Sebastopol Center for the Arts. During the meeting, board members heard impassioned pleas from local residents, emergency personnel, Palm Drive physicians and hospital supporters to keep the facility's doors open.
"Do not be known as the board that killed Palm Drive," said Dr. Stephen Crane, an emergency department physician at Palm Drive.
"As long as you have a pulse, as long as you have blood pressure, I'm going to fight for you," Crane said, adding that he expects the same from the hospital board.
Sebastopol Fire Chief Bill Braga asked the Palm Drive Health Care District board of directors to consider the impact on public safety resources. He said the local fire department responds to an average of three medical emergencies each day. If the hospital closes, first responders will be forced to transport patients to hospitals in Santa Rosa.
"I lose one to two firefighters each time (patients) are transported to Santa Rosa," Braga said. "That would be detrimental to my department. ... On behalf of public safety, I urge the board, please, I urge the board to accept the proposal from the foundation. I think it's the right thing to do."
The special meeting was called to consider two proposals to keep the hospital open. Most of the meeting was spent discussing a proposal submitted by the nonprofit Palm Drive Health Care Foundation, Dr. Jim Gude and former hospital board president Dan Smith.
A second proposal, by Sebastopol orthopedics surgeon Dr. Michael Bollinger, was dismissed because it did not meet board criteria.

Located on the charming town's busy High Street, The Marlow Bar & Grill is a local favourite. Inspired by the boating activity on the River Thames, which lies just yards away, the restaurant décor consists of navy blue leather, teak, and stainless steel, whilst the monochrome photography adorning the walls give the building both a modern feel and a sense of nostalgia. Visitors to the restaurant can relax and enjoy themselves in the bar lounge, or alternatively dine in the restaurant whilst watching the chefs in action in the open kitchen. There is also a heated undercover terrace, located at the rear, which is perfect for whiling away the evening alfresco style.

Not to be weird or anything, but I heard from one of my friends that he goes to school with you and just wanted to say that it's such a small world. I introduced him to your blog since I have been reading it from the beginning and I haven't disliked one post yet. If you ever come to Oregon, we have to meet up and chill because I would love to pick your brain :) Don't stop posting again!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's not weird at all! If you knew me in person, you'd know all the creepy situations I get myself into, so this is fairly normal. Yess! He somehow found me through our school's confession page, but I don't go to that school anymore since I transferred. Either way, it's a small world :) Thank you so much for the support and for liking it enough to show others, it really does mean a lot to me! And I just might take you up on that offer since my friend and I might move to Portland or Salem after we graduate haha. I'll try to keep at it! :)Delete

Oil separator hose "sweating" oil
I used a Jeg's universal oil separator on my car (didn't have $100 to drop on one of the ready made ones) and plumbed it with 3/8" fuel hose.
It works great, but the problem I'm having is that after the car sits for a little while the hoses have a little droplets of oil form along the length of them on all sides of the hose. If you wipe it off with a paper towel it just comes back after the next time you run the car and it sits and cools off. I've never noticed it while the car was running, only after cooling down.
I figured fuel hose would work great for this but apparently not. Do I need a different type of hose? Do the aftermarket separators/catch cans all use that hard plastic hose?

A Man's World: Nick Wooster Talks Pitti-------
Nick Wooster's dandyish look has long mesmerized menswear show-goers. With his handlebar mustache, tattoo sleeves, and eclectic outfits (like the embroidered shorts, relaxed blazer, and snazzy leopard Celine shoes he wore during this week's Pitti fair, above), he's crafted an aesthetic that's uniquely his own. Having served as the mennswear fashion director at Bergdorf Goodman, as well as the menswear creative director at JC Penney (a post he left in April of this year), Wooster is not only catnip for street style paps, but a seasoned industry expert. Here, the man talks to Style.com about Pitti, the state of menswear, and his plans for the future.
When did you first start coming to Pitti?
I did my first Pitti in January of 1988.
What's changed since then
Absolutely nothing. Well, actually, in a certain way, nothing has changed, and then obviously, everything has. The heart of Pitti has always been the same. Look at someone like Lino or Peter Rizzo, who was the person who brought me to my first Pitti. He still comes, and so many of the players are the same. I think that's the story of menswear, the story of Italy, and the story of Pitti.
You're known for your personal style. Do you turn it up for the shows?
No. I mean, at the end of the day, I've always felt the need and desire to be different. The worst part for me is figuring out what I'm going to bring. I brought twice as much as I'm going to need so there's always a bit of a problem in the morning, like, "Shit what am I going to wear?" But that's the story of my life. I never know what I'm going to wear until I get out of the shower. Continue Reading "A Man's World: Nick Wooster Talks Pitti" »
Le-Tan's Library-------
"I like being obsessed," said Olympia Le-Tan on Thursday night as she welcomed visitors to the special project she had created for Pitti in Florence. And with an opening line like that, it was almost impossible to resist the web that Le-Tan had woven in the Museo Bellini, yet another of the jaw-droppingly beautiful Renaissance venues that seem to be ten-a-penny in Florence. When the Pitti organizers invited her to participate in this year's event, it took Le-Tan mere minutes to decide that she would celebrate her favorite Italian films and books and, by extension, their directors and authors in the idiosyncratic medium that she has made her own—immaculately embroidered "books" that are actually handbags. The museum was draped in red silk curtains with the OLT logo, pink roses trailed over banisters, candles flared in the dusty air…atmosphere for days. Every shadowy room had vitrines displaying Le-Tan's chosen 36 titles, precisely duplicated in thread as they would have appeared on the original book cover or movie poster. They covered a very comfortable waterfront from Visconti, Fellini, and Antonioni (her favorite of favorites) to Moravia, Machiavelli, and Pirandello.
But Le-Tan's stroke of genius—as far as the Pitti exhibition went—was to persuade a game handful of friends to be photographed by Max Farago as a character from each of the 36. Olympia herself was the apogee of lush sensuality, posed as Silvana Mangano from a 1949 movie called Riso Amaro. Jennifer Eymere, editor of Jalouse magazine, made a very convincing Giulietta Masina from Fellini's La Strada. Nightclub impresario André Saraiva was a plausibly penitent Jean-Louis Trintignant from The Conformist. As for Victoire de Castellane as Anita Ekberg in full clerical garb from La Dolce Vita? The success of that image was in inverse proportion to its unlikeliness. Poles apart were Hamish Bowles as Martin von Essenbeck, the cross-dressing Nazi from Visconti's La Caduta Degli Dei (more familiar to English-speaking aficionados of early-seventies cinematic decadence as The Damned) and the ubiquitous Olivier Zahm, posed stark raving naked as a misbegotten extra from Pasolini's terrifyingly transgressive Salò.
Later that same night, a handful of Le-Tan's cast of characters regrouped on the Borgo San Jacopo to reflect on their re-conceptualisation of Italian culture. Most of them were French. You can imagine what they talked about.
Renaissance Women: Rodarte At Pitti-------
If at first it seemed perverse of Kate and Laura Mulleavy to turn their backs on the Renaissance glories of Florence in favor of an abandoned, dilapidated clothing store as the venue for the Rodarte presentation at Pitti, their decision made sense once you entered the labyrinthine space that producer Alex de Betak had customized for them with neon tubing and a huge ancient, cracked mirror. "We wanted to link the environment to what we do," said Kate. True, the space artfully embodied Rodarte's hermetic, sui generis personality.
Rather than Renaissance aesthetics, the Mulleavys focused on Renaissance ascetics, in particular the meditative state of heightened spirituality induced by the Fra Angelico frescoes on the walls of the monks' cells under the Convent of San Marco. Every nook was intended to evoke those cells, in which the Rodarte gowns were suspended like serene distillations of the artist's faded, dusty colors and delicate draperies. And a spiritual serenity was, in fact, the impression that lingered longest, perhaps because, in the past, the Mulleavys have made such an art of insinuating the barely suppressed violence of the physical world into their work.
The ten gowns were structured around a single blueprint: a sculpted torso, a long columnar skirt falling straight to the ground. The silhouette was familiar from classical art. Although Kate insisted that Hollywood couture has never been a reference for them, there was also something of the stately elegance of Adrian in this work, with an overlay of the kind of arcane, dreamlike flourishes that characterize Rodarte. A silk dress in vivid lapis blue was draped in lavender silk satin, its skirt a panel of electric blue sequins. Another dress, in dusty blue, was cross-draped with pink silk, like a couture version of Diana the Huntress. A halter-necked gown in white silk featured a torrent of white and red ruffles splitting open down its front. Hidden among the folds: molded Easter lilies, studded with pearls and crystals. The most spectacularly overwrought piece was composed of a cocoon of coppery lamé crisscrossed with huge scimitarlike feathers painted gold that floated over a skirt of white down. The whole ensemble was topped by a gold sunburst crown, one of the sculptural metal details inspired by Bernini's Ecstasy of Saint Teresa.
Such an outfit was a reminder that all ten of these pieces are destined for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's permanent collection, rather than the bodies of living, breathing women. The significance of that wasn't lost on Kate Mulleavy. She was free-associating about Carl Sagan making a record of the sounds of Earth and firing it off into space, where others would wonder at it in much the same way that she and Laura had spent five days marveling at Florentine glories that were hundreds of years in the making. In five centuries, will people be standing in front of Rodarte dresses in a similar state of transport? Pitti says yes.

Now Screening At Pitti: Gareth Pugh-------
Today in Florence, Gareth Pugh shows his new Fall '11 women's collection as part of Pitti W. SHOWstudio alumna Ruth Hogben (who created the film Pugh screened with his collection last season, and also lensed the video with Mariacarla Boscono for Barneys.com and Givenchy) created a short to play alongside, inspired by "religious iconography and Florentine opulence." Check it out below; we'll be posting our coverage of the collection shortly.

Slowing down immune system's 'brakes' could perk up HIV vaccines' efficacy
Washington, Mar 26 (ANI): Just like a frisky driver slams the break of a car, a special class of T cells may be limiting the effectiveness of therapeutic vaccines for HIV by slowing the immune system response too soon, according to researchers at University of Pittsburgh.
The study is the first to look at the role of regulatory T cells in therapeutic HIV vaccines and could help researchers to improve the efficacy of such vaccines by devising methods to circumvent the braking mechanism of these cells.
Regulatory T cells (Treg) are critical because they prevent the immune system from turning against itself by suppressing the immune response.
Without the braking action of Treg, autoimmune disease could flourish.
However, the researchers didn't know what would happen if these cells start shutting down the immune response before a therapeutic vaccine has had a chance to bolster immunity against HIV.
Pitt researchers sought to answer this question as follow-up to a clinical trial of a therapeutic dendritic cell-based HIV vaccine they developed to activate the CD8, or killer T cell, response.
First reported in 2008, the findings indicated only limited success of the vaccine in the 17 patients enrolled in the trial.
In the current study, the researchers went back to the freezer, removed Treg from the patients' blood cell samples and found that it was masking a two-fold increase in immune response to HIV induced by the vaccine.
"When we removed Treg from blood cells, we found a much stronger immune response to the vaccine, giving us insight into how we can develop more effective HIV vaccines," said Dr. Charles R. Rinaldo, Jr.
"Treg normally shuts down CD8 responses once the infection has been controlled, but in this case it appears to be putting on the brakes early and possibly limiting the vaccine's ability to do its job effectively," he added.
One theory is that HIV-infection drives up Treg, which in turn shuts down the HIV-1- specific CD8 T cell response, he said.
"We know how to treat HIV, but are still learning how to use immunotherapy strategies to completely flush it out of the body. Our findings show Treg plays an important role, but we need to figure out how to maintain the right balance by getting around these cells without blocking them completely," added Dr. Bernard J.C. Macatangay.
The study has been published in the current issue of PLoS ONE. (ANI)

WARNER ROBINS -- In his seven years at Five Star Ford, Elvis Randolph has done some tough sales but none like the one he is trying to make this week.
He is on a live webcast competing to sell The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon a truck.
Randolph appeared on the show Monday night, introducing himself along with the other salesmen in the Fingers on a 4x4 contest.
I have small hands, but I can still spin a basketball on my finger, is how he described himself.
The contestants must keep at least one hand on the 2015 F-150 King Ranch, and the last one standing gets to sell Fallon the truck. They get breaks but otherwise must stand and cant lean on the truck, and referees in striped shirts kept a close watch.
The contest is being held on the top deck of the USS Intrepid, a World War II aircraft carrier that is now a museum in New York. The 10 contestants began at about 9:30 p.m. Monday night after the show was recorded.
Speaking by cellphone on Tuesday as he kept his hand on the truck, Randolph said he was doing fine, although his legs were tired and the night was tough.
The temperature was 36, but it felt like it was 20, he said.
Ordinarily in a such a contest, the winner would get the vehicle, but in this case the prize is the commission from selling the truck. Its a lot of work for a sale, but the truck with all the options lists for about $60,000, so it should be a sweet payday if Randolph wins.
Regardless, he said, he is enjoying the experience, as strenuous as it may be.
We got a free trip to New York, and its my first time here, he said. Ive enjoyed it. Im having a blast.
Twitter hashtags were announced on the show for each contestant, and viewers were encouraged to interact. Randolphs is #WarnerRobinsElvis.
Tasha Mooney, a co-worker, tweeted to Randolph, Fame is pain, and, Im not getting any work done bc I cant stop watching you.
She wasnt alone. Five Star Ford General Manager Josh Thompson said everyone at the dealership had the stream going on their computers.
Everyone is kind of glued to it, he said.
The contestants get a five-minute break every hour and a 15-minute break every six hours. They also have snacks and drinks brought to them.
One contestant was disqualified when she didnt return from her five-minute break on time, Randolph said. Another took his hand off the truck when he dropped his coffee, so there were eight left when Randolph spoke to The Telegraph late Tuesday morning, and there were still eight by early evening.
None of the contestants were resorting to trash talking or trying to encourage each other to give up. Everybody has been awesome to each other, Randolph said.
Sales often become time-consuming and challenging, he said, but this would by far be the most effort he has put into making a sale.
Last year he got one of Fords top sales certifications, held by only about 100 people nationwide. The certification is based on things such as product knowledge and customer surveys. From that he was selected for a pool of 33 potential candidates for the contest. After telephone interviews on Friday, he made the final list of contestants.
He is only 5 feet 7 inches tall, but in high school he played basketball, football and baseball.
Randolph said he feels good about his chances and expects he can hold out at least until Wednesday afternoon.
Ive always been competitive, he said.
Thompson also liked Randolphs chances.
Hes young, and he works out, Thompson said. Hes mentally tough. I think he will hang in there.
