Really useful knowledge here! Music producer Mr. Bangladesh explains the different ways that producers get paid!
This is one of those songs that just feels right. Philippe Edison's got the funk! Press play and please your souls.
Before there was dubstep and EDM, there was Aphex Twin.
DJ Food is a bad ass DJ and musician. This EP is epic. The styles of music. The way it was engineered. The vibes. It's all on point and mad creative.
With today's technology and the power of the internet, just about anyone could start a record label. The coolest thing about that is that there are so many labels out there that have their own sound and identity. It's almost impossible to run out of good music to listen to!
With that said, I want to share a few of my favorite record labels!
Brainfeeder is a DOPE L.A. based record label founded by the one and only Flying Lotus. They feature some of the best electronic and hip hop musicians, like Tokimonsta, The Gaslamp Killer, and Lapalux. Check out their Soundcloud!
Ninja Tune
Ninja Tune is a British indie label that was founded by a couple of DJ's (Coldcut) in 1990. Their music releases jump back and forth between experimental electronic and hip hop. One of the many epic things about this label is that they release pure underground music that isn't over-sweetened by major labels. Some of their artists and acts are Amon Tobin, Machinedrum, Kelis, and Dj Food. Check out their Soundcloud!
Warp is a British indie record label founded in 1989 by Steve Beckett and Rob Mitchell. This label is legendary! They have some of the most influential electronic artists on their roster. Some of the artists of Warp are Aphex Twin, Clark, Eskmo, Squarepusher, Jackson and his Computer Band, Flying Lotus, and Prefuse 73. Just by that super compressed list of artists, you should want to rush over to Warp.net and check out the roster.
Those are just a few of my favorites. What's your favorite label? If you could put a few of your favorite artists on a dream label who would you sign?
"What instrument do you play?"
The MPC.
Jeremy Ellis is one of the dopest things to have ever touched 16 squares.

Heads-up poker is becoming more popular in today's online games. Many players are inexperienced in this type of play, and it is a totally different animal than a full ring or 6 handed table. This article will focus on strategy for a No Limit Hold'em heads-up sit-n-go tournament.
Early Stages
In the early rounds when the blinds are small, try to feel out your opponent and get a sense for his style. This is similar to a boxing match where the fighters are sizing each other up. Is he passive, opting to limp into most pots, or is he aggressively open-raising preflop? How does he play middle or bottom pair? Does he check-call, or lead out? Is he betting his draws? What is he raising with preflop? What is he re-raising with pre-flop? Does he tend to bet half the pot, the full pot, or overbet? Is he folding preflop at all? The more of these questions you can answer, the better you'll be able to formulate the proper strategy to beat him. Often times in the early stages of the match, I'll even call a smallish bet on the river when I know I'm beat, just to get some information about how my opponent played his hand. Hopefully it will reveal some more broad tendencies.
Some General Tips
In a moment we'll discuss strategy for specific types of players. First let's go over some basic tips regardless of who your opponent is.
Rarely fold preflop. When you are first to act, folding is almost always incorrect. Position is so important that even with junk hands, you can often use your position to win the pot. Limp in and see what happens. If you get raised, throw it away. Otherwise look for opportunities to use your positional advantage, or check behind and try to improve your hand. When the blinds increase there will be certain times when folding preflop will be correct, but this is rare. If my opponent is open-folding frequently from the button, I know he is a weak player.
Hands to raise with pre-flop. Raise about 3x the big blind preflop with any pair, any two face cards, any Ace, and most K-x hands. It is important to mix up your play, so you should sometimes limp with an Ace, or raise with suited connectors, or raise with any 2 cards. Try to get a sense for the ebb and flow of the match, and base your preflop raises on that. I don't want my opponent to think I am raising too much or too little. If I have limped in 3 times in a row, I'll often raise the 4th time regardless of my cards.
Pay attention to the texture of the flop. A player is typically only going to connect with the flop about one time in three. Frequently you and your opponent will have no hand whatsoever. In many hands, the first player to bet wins. When you see a flop like 228 or JJ6 that is very unlikely to have connected with your opponent's hand, lead out with a bet regardless of your holding. If you are in position and your opponent checks to you with a paired flop like this, I am betting almost all the time.
Follow the Super System mantra. If you've read Doyle's classic on No Limit Hold'em, he advocates an aggressive style in which he would commonly bet with any pair or any draw, even if it was just a gutshot. While the game has changed since he first published his book and he's had to adjust this strategy, this overall style is very well suited to heads up play.
Aggressive or Passive?
Against a passive opponent who plays predictable poker, you'll want to raise frequently preflop, and take stabs at a lot of pots. If this type of opponent checks to you, it is generally correct to take a shot. If he checks to you twice, definitely bet at least half the pot. This type of player is your ideal opponent. He'll let you know when he has a good hand, and you can take advantage of his overly tight play. His game is not well-suited to a heads-up match, because as so often happens in heads-up, nobody flops anything.
Against an aggressive opponent, you'll want to be more patient, pick your spots, and wait for him to make mistakes so you can use his aggression against him. I am going to let this opponent take his share of pots even though I think he might have nothing. I'll be more inclined to slowplay against this type of opponent, and trap him by limping in with premium hands. Against a passive opponent, I'd be looking to value bet the river with a hand like middle pair. Against an aggressive player, I'll be looking to induce bluffs by checking hands like middle or bottom pair on the river, and hoping he'll make a steal attempt.
Having said that, it is also important not to let an aggressive opponent push you around too much. You'll definitely want to re-raise him preflop at some point (whether you have a hand or not) to make it known you are not afraid to play back at him. But generally speaking, trying to out-aggress him is not the proper strategy.
Ultimately you have to play a heads-up style that you are comfortable with. If you are new to playing heads-up, hopefully this article will give you a good foundation to build upon and get you thinking about the game the right way.
See you at the tables.

Hogan Lovells to choose between Murdoch and ITV
Readers' comments (8)
It is not a question of "the Americans always get what they want" it is which is the more valuable client which is likely to be a "no brainer"
And the Americans will define what "valuable" is
Heh @ Lovells. Can't believe they're even bothering to discuss it - it's a foregone conclusion, no firm in their right mind would ditch Murdoch. Who's going to take over the ITV work?
Re-Rupert the Bear | 8-Feb-2010 11:22 am
Spot on. As the other story on this site regarding the make-up of the global management committee shows, the Americans don't do real estate, ergo there's no real estate representation. London: be prepared to become a back office for the US
You've gotta feel sorry for Lovells, ITV has been a basket case of a company for years and now thanks to Simon Cowell it's a force to be reckoned with again. IHow many other UK clients will Lovells have to part with, I wonder
Real Estate did not have representation at that level before the merger - it fell within the 'commercial' practice stream alongside IP, Tax etc. Nothing to see here, please move along.
You gotta feel sorry for real estate. Even before the merger it was slipping in terms of repesentation at an executive level, numbers of equity partners, clients and fee earners. Now the message looks clear - especially with the group having lost Katherine Watts and Bob Kidby - its increasingly a support department that is tolerated while a profit is turned on work for Prudential. On top of that, the group is represented by Mr Cheffings - a litigator, not a property lawyer.
"The Americans always get what they want,"
The inside word is that the Americans are already starting to throw their weight round on this and other matters. The nice ol'boys and gals at Lovells need to wake up and make sure that "merger" doesn't become "takeover".

Staff File Photo: Cleveland, Tenn., has received a HUD letter complimenting the Community Development Block Grant program. The federal grants go to metro areas to help low-income neighborhoods with housing and recreation. Cleveland has used the bulk of its CDBG grants in recent years to upgrade parks and streets in historically black East Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, Tenn. -- The program that focuses on housing and recreation needs in Cleveland's low-income neighborhoods got an end-of-the-year compliment from its funding agency, the federal government.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has completed its annual review of Cleveland's Community Development Block Grant program.
Mark Brezina, HUD field office director in Knoxville, congratulated the city and CDBG Director Teresa Torbett for working toward strategies outlined for the 2004-09 Consolidated Annual Action Plan.
Mr. Brezina's letter to city officials cited efforts to provide affordable housing, enhanced building codes enforcement, recreational needs and other goals, said Vice Mayor Avery Johnson.
"As I see the letter, we need to maintain, just keep on with our status quo," Mr. Johnson said.
CDBG funds are being used for a continuing improvement program at Northeast Recreation Center; a partnership with Habitat For Humanity, and to pay for an additional codes inspector just for the targeted area.
The city's 2009 CDBG grant was just more than $335,000, records show.
"During the 2008 program year, the city used consolidated planning funds (CDBG funds), as well as leveraged additional state, local, private and other federal funding to implement many worthwhile programs and projects and expended funds in a timely manner," according to Mr. Brezina's report.
Ms. Torbett said that 2009 marked the end of a five-year action program. She said the city has submitted a five-year plan for 2010-2014 to HUD.
Begun in 1974, CDBG is one of HUD's longest continuously run programs. Small cities compete for CDBG funds through state government.
Entitlement communities, mostly larger cities and urban counties, are allocated annual grants but must meet the goals of creating a suitable living environment in targeted neighborhoods.

Reuters Soccer Blog
World Soccer views and news
Ribery's uniquely beguiling talent
The question of whether such-and-such a player is the world's best tends to generate more heat than light, and a great many superlatives directed at Cristiano Ronaldo.
So, let me phrase this as carefully as I can: Just at the moment, is Franck Ribery the most influential player in Europe?
Ribery's return to fitness, after his ankle ligament injury at Euro 2008, has coincided with Bayern Munich's return to form, and of course, it's no coincidence at all.
Juergen Klinsmann found his first couple of months as Bayern coach very difficult, as teams discovered they no longer had to treat the Ribery-less champions with quite such respect.
We need a Hull or a Hoffenheim in the Champions League
It's been a great season so far for people living above Germany's white sausage equator, as fearless Hoffenheim and classy Bayer Leverkusen continue to make Bayern Munich look very ordinary, and very worried, indeed.
Bayern have won their last four games in the Bundesliga but that run has merely been enough to prevent them falling any further behind Hoffenheim, who have won five in a row, scoring 17 goals in the process, and Leverkusen, who have racked up four successive 2-0 victories.
Media outbursts seldom have desired effect
It seems even the most experienced players can forget that criticising your coach in the media pretty much always backfires.
Germany captain Michael Ballack has backed down and offered an apology after he angered coach Joachim Loew by suggesting in a newspaper interview that senior players were not being treated with enough respect.
You say you want a revolution…
Bayern Munich thought they were getting instant Revolution when they hired Juergen Klinsmann but, with apologies for mixing up my rock references, at the moment it's a case of "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss". (more…)
What's not to love about Werder Bremen?
Werder Bremen's Weserstadion is not the most comfortable place to watch football, with its slightly rickety feel, but it must be one of the most exciting.
Saturday's 5-4 victory over Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga made it 10 goals in the last two league games for Thomas Schaaf's side, who have now shrugged off a bit of early-season lethargy to restate the case for being the most entertaining side in Germany, certainly, and quite possibly Europe as a whole.
When men were men and hairdressers were busy
This one is too good to miss: Bild newspaper in Germany takes an affectionate look at the best Panini Bundersliga stickers down the years, and they've even translated the page into English. (more…)
Is Rensing good enough to replace Kahn at Bayern?
I've blogged before about the wealth of youngish goalkeeping talent in the Bundesliga, a list headed by Rene Adler at Bayer Leverkusen, Manuel Neuer at Schalke and Bayern Munich's new number one Michael Rensing.
While Adler remains first choice in Leverkusen, and Neuer will certainly regain the gloves from the 19-year-old Ralf Faehrmann as soon as he's fit, Juergen Klinsmann might just be getting a bit worried about Rensing, who had a shocker in Bayern's 5-2 defeat at home to Werder Bremen at the weekend.
Are United and Bayern already under pressure?
Manchester United and Bayern Munich opened the defence of their respective league titles with draws, prompting worried looks among supporters.
Normally it would be silly to judge a side on the first match of the season, but in United's case there was clearly something missing in the 1-1 draw with Newcastle…a certain Cristiano Ronaldo.
Messi takes a step closer to Beijing
Barcelona's Argentine forward Lionel Messi took a step closer to Beijing on Wednesday when FIFA ruled that clubs are obliged to release players aged 23 or under to play at the Olympics.
Barcelona and Bundesliga clubs Werder Bremen and Schalke, who want to keep Diego and Rafinha out of the Games, will probably fight on in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) but for now FIFA has made the right decision, one that's for the good of the game as well as the Games.
Diego the latest to be blocked from Games
Werder Bremen have dashed the Olympic hopes of Brazil playmaker Diego, telling the 23-year-old they will not release him and thus depriving the Games of perhaps one of the world's most exciting young players
Werder sporting director Klaus Allofs said there was no legal reason for clubs to release their players because, he said, the Olympics are not part of world soccer's governing body FIFA.

02 A few hours of peeling and scraping were needed to eliminate the old vinyl top. After scraping, sanding is done only to remove loose debris so the primer adheres well. Since the new vinyl covering is heavily textured with a boar grain effect, minor roof skin surface imperfections won't be seen. The same thing that cut costs for Dodge back in 1967 still works for us today.

Entering Week 13, the final week in the 2014 regular-season, there are a few things we can say for certain regarding the weekly Big 12 baseball Power Rankings.
Either the Oklahoma State Cowboys or the TCU Horned Frogs are going to win the conference crown, surprising Kansas has a lock on the No. 3 position and defending league champion Kansas State has clinched the cellar spot and is about to complete a first-to-worst 2014 campaign.
Oklahoma and Kansas State were in a battle for the eighth and final spot in this year's Big 12 postseason tournament, That ended this past weekend when K-State's three losses to league-leading Oklahoma State conceded the final spot in the conference tourney to the Sooners.
All other positions within the conference standings are up for grabs.
Texas and Texas Tech are deadlocked in a fourth-place tie at the moment, both with identical 11-10 conference records. West Virginia, which is at Texas Tech this weekend, would have been right there, too, if it weren't for suffering three devastating losses at the hands of red-hot Kansas over the weekend.
Seventh place is still in play as well, depending on the outcome of Oklahoma's series with Oklahoma State and how Baylor does at home hosting TCU.
Big 12 Baseball Power Rankings For Week 13 Of The 2014 Season
(Position change from last week indicated in parentheses)
- Oklahoma State Cowboys (N/C) – Win two of three from in-state Bedlam rival Oklahoma this weekend and the title and No. 1 conference tournament seed is theirs.
- TCU Horned Frogs (N/C) – The Frogs will face a stiff test at Baylor this weekend, but they still have an outside chance to tie or even win the regular-season crown.
- Kansas Jayhawks (N/C) – What a season so far for the Jayhawks, who the league coaches projected to finish last in the league. KU ends up the regular season outside of the conference at Michigan.
- Texas Longhorns (+1) – The Longhorns have dropped from first in the Big 12 and fourth in the nation to almost out of the top 25, the result of losing seven of its last nine conference games. Visiting Kansas State is coming along just at the right time to stop the bleeding in Austin.
- Texas Tech Red Raiders (+1) – Before West Virginia was swept last weekend at Kansas, the upcoming series at Texas Tech was looking very interesting. Both teams had been on recent hot streaks. Home cooking and the week off last weekend will likely secure a fifth or even a fourth-place finish for the Red Raiders.
- West Virginia Mountaineers (-2) – Poor showing at Kansas pretty much doomed the Mountaineers to this final resting place for 2014.
- Baylor Bears (N/C) – In a position to spoil TCU's title chances this weekend. Off last weekend, but took two of three at Oklahoma the weekend before.
- Oklahoma Sooners (N/C) – Sooners somehow managed to steal a game from TCU over the weekend, but their season has been highly disappointing.
- Kansas State Wildcats (N/C) – Easily the biggest shock of any Big 12 team this season. Pitching has been downright awful. Horns will be extremely fortunate not to suffer a third straight series sweep this weekend at the hands of Texas.

How to Make a Glittery Snowflake Twig Wreath
If you want to make unique decorations for the holidays, try this glittery snowflake twig wreath. Follow the instructions by Colleen A. McGinty to learn how to make it.
Print OptionsClose
E-mail This Page to Your Friendsx
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
Materials and Tools:
8" round grapevine wreath
three 14" sticks, about 1/4"-1/2" thick
12 sticks about 4" long and 1/4"-1/2" thick
hot glue
glue gun
assorted white and clear beads
large white and clear sequins
white craft wire
white spray paint
silver or gold spray glitter
clear snow-type large flake glitter
spray adhesive
pruning shears or small craft saw
1. Gather sticks that match the size scale and texture of wreath. Cut the sticks to size and lay them out under the wreath to form a snowflake. Check the size and trim accordingly.
2. Hot glue the sticks to the wreath in a snowflake pattern as shown or make your own design. Let dry.
3. Spray paint the wreath white and let dry.
4. Spray small areas of spray adhesive on the wreath, shake on the snow glitter to cover the sticky areas until the whole wreath has been covered, and let dry.
5. Add beads to the wreath with your bead selections and sequins using the white craft wire. Cut the wire lengths long enough to wrap securely around the wreath pieces. Bead the wreath with the beads and sequins over the clear snow glitter.
Tip: If the wire is slipping, you can tack it with a small drop of hot glue on the backside of the wreath, too.
6. For extra sparkle, you can add more sequins with a small dot of hot glue, as desired.
7. Lightly spray the wreath with spray glitter.
You have created a one of a kind snowflake wreath to last throughout the winter as well as the holiday season. And no two are exactly alike.

Can Chevrolet be the first automotive brand with a truly global marketing campaign? General Motors' chief marketing officer Joel Ewanick thinks so, which is one reason he recently decided to award the worldwide Chevy account to Commonwealth, a newly created joint venture between Goodby, Silverstein & Partners and McCann Erickson Worldwide. Collaboration between units of two powerful advertising rivals (Omnicom and Interpublic) could result in a clash worthy of the Hatfields and McCoys, but Ewanick sees something bigger. I sat down with him the other day and asked him to elaborate on that vision.
Why the need to create a new advertising agency for Chevrolet?
It's a unique situation that came together for a very unique purpose. If you look at what we were looking for, for Chevrolet as a brand globally…there really was no agency that could do that.
What exactly were you looking for?
We believe that all good marketing starts locally. You want to be able to tell those insights in Brazil that will resonate with the Brazilian customer. Or in India with Indian customers. But we knew we had to consolidate. We knew 70 agencies were too many. We had to find a way to minimize the production expense we put into producing TV commercials and online ads. So we needed to have representation in the far corners of the world but at the same time we had centralize as much as we could. So we created what we call a hub-and-spoke system. So we have a hub in Sao Paulo, in Mumbai, in Milan, in Detroit, and we have sub ones in Russia, Zurich, London, and Shanghai. And then there are people in every one of these markets but they don't necessarily have bricks and mortar around them. They have laptops and they travel and they meet with the dealers and with our people in those countries.
We think we can raise the quality of the creative significantly from where it was, because we were all over the place. We'd see a great ad come out of Colombia and then something poor come out of someplace else. So then you'd say, 'Well, why not have Colombia create all the ads for South America? If we're launching the Sonic in South America in all these countries, why is Chile doing their own ad, and Argentina, and Mexico? Why don't we look for ways to share resources?' We think we've found a way to improve the creative and save money at the same time.
So was this really just a cost-cutting move?
No. It started with, we've got to find a way to get everybody on the same page, and speaking about the brand in the same way. Because the brand is one of the most valuable assets that you have. We can't have it be 100 different things around the world. It needs to stand for one thing. The most important asset any company has is their brand. We spent most of the year traveling around the world to get everybody to agree on what that meant…. putting the customer at the center of our conversation, which sounds so obvious to anybody now, but at the time we weren't doing that. We didn't know who our target customer was for every market or for every segment. To get everybody on the same page, that took a long time.
Have other carmakers tried this approach?
There have been a lot of attempts to do one campaign around the world, but not very effectively. Fortunately for us, we only have four models that we sell consistently everywhere in the world. Most of the other 40 models we have we can do regionally. But using common assets will really help us. So if you're doing something in Thailand that will work in Europe, why not?
How will you manage the creative leadership?
We have an all star team. Each of the four key creative directors is a rock star in their own regions: Washington Oliveto in Brazil, Prasoon Joshi in India, and Linus Karlsson in London. But we've asked Jeff Goodby (co-founder of Goodby Silverstein) to be the pseudo-head of the creative team. Someone's got to drive the bus. They all know each other. When you're at that level, you know who the best of the best are around the world.
Let's talk about cost savings. You're aiming to save $2 billion?
We believe, on the conservative side, we're going to take 8 percent to 10 percent out 0f the cost of running our marketing, from a production standpoint, from the fees we pay for our media, and from our creative, just by the reduction in headcounts around the world. The way we're going to operate now, with hubs and spokes, being a little bit more centralized. We believe this $2 billion number, over a five-year period, is really attainable. If we do our jobs well, it's conservative. It allows us to drive some money down to the bottom line and allows us ways to reinvest those dollars in advertising that benefits the whole world.
How much does GM spend on marketing?
We don't give out the number, but GM spends $4 billion on advertising. But that's not the total marketing spend. It's significantly above that.
Is (GM CEO) Dan Akerson driving this?
I was given this job on Dec. 17, 2010. I think I started this conversation with Dan Akerson on Dec. 18, 2010. He wanted to be more effective and efficient at the same time. It's easy for someone to just go cut budgets. He is keenly aware of how important branding is and good marketing is for us around the world. But it didn't take long for anybody to notice that we were inefficient in how we were marketing our cars. The complexity of the things we do and the ways we do things are so archaic it just needs to be shattered.
You'll start to see initiatives in things we do around the world. Because we're not as developed with Chevrolet in Europe, we don't have the volumes to justify huge expenditures. But here in the U.S., we have the latitude to do things like the Super Bowl and the Olympics. We're able to do things in Europe now we were never able to think about doing before, never, never, because we're looking at it in a global way. It really does change the way you do business.
Will you replace your current ad theme, "Chevy Runs Deep"?
We're looking at it. Should we? I don't know. But we're looking at it. What's interesting is the feedback we're getting from "Chevy Runs Deep" is more positive than we realized. When we started our review what we started to hear from the far corners of the globe is, "You know what? This 'Chevy Runs Deep' is not that bad, as long as you don't make it about our past, but you make it about our future and where we're going."

Top 10 Free (or Cheap) Things to Do with Kids Under Five
A penny saved is a penny earned, and teaching your kiddos about saving money is as easy as exploring the city's bevy of free (or really really cheap) activities. They'll learn the value of saving a dollar and have fun doing it. From riding the metro to exploring wetlands, check out our ten picks for things to do in Los Angeles that offer up a few hours of entertainment without sending you running to the ATM.
1. Explore the Exposition Park Area
A civic, cultural, and recreation area for the last 100 years, you'll find an abundance of kid-friendly things to do all in one place. The California Science Center (with the space shuttle Endeavour and the shark tank), The African American Museum, and the expansive seven acre Rose Garden, where kiddos can smell the 16,000+ roses, play by the fountain or take a picnic break are all completely free. Kids under 2 get free admission to the Natural History Museum too (and 3-12 year olds are just $5), or you can simply visit the Butterfly Pavilion in the summer or Spider Pavilion in the fall for a couple of bucks. Plan on spending the whole day. Exposition Park.
2. Head Down to Travel Town
This free outdoor transportation museum is a family favorite with steam locomotives to scramble over and a train to ride around the park to boot. Bring your own trains to play at the train table in the big barn, or check out all the trains and train gear for sale at the gift shop (it's the perfect place to shop for a train themed birthday party – and this is the perfect place to hold the party, too.) Check their events calendar for passenger car tours and Thomas the Train days, as well as other great activities. And if you're here on a Sunday, don't forget to go next door to LA Live Steamers, for another train ride! Griffith Park.
3. Get Wet at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium
Start your Aquarium visit with the sea stars in the simulated "tide pool touch tank" then spend your time winding through the thirty-eight aquaria. Don't miss out on the favorite aquatic babies exhibit and let the little ones learn a little something at the research station. Be sure to look up and meet the giant whale skeleton hanging from the ceiling. The museum is free for all but they do suggest a donation to help keep this wonderful community resource going. Parking is free and easy on the street or you can pay $1 for right out front. The aquarium hosts loads of kid friendly activities and events, including the fabulous spring time grunion runs – a So Cal tradition. San Pedro.
4. Dig in the Sand at Zuma Beach
How can we not mention the beach? Dig the toes in or build a sandcastle on one of our favorites – the very clean and scenic stretch of Zuma Beach just off the PCH in Malibu. Consistently rating among the healthiest beaches for clean water conditions, you won't have to worry about letting the kids swallow some saltwater as they play in the gentle surf. You might even get lucky enough to spot one of the resident dolphins playing right off shore. Pack a picnic or grab a bite at beautiful the Sunset Restaurant on the beach, or at the more casual snack bar. If you reach beach boredom, grab the kids and take a hike up the beach to the cliff at Point Dume (and you can visit the cove where Planet of the Apes was filmed). Easy and plentiful parking (free on the street, $8 in the lot) makes it worth the drive alone. Malibu Coast.
5. See Some Art at LACMA
So, right in our home town is a world class that wants you to bring your kids so much that they created a fabulous program: with a free LACMA NextGen membership, kids get in free and they can each bring an adult with them. Pretty amazing deal, especially when you realize that at LACMA there are art exhibits that appeal to kids (mummies and rad modern art sculptures – we're talking Michael Jackson and his monkey, art in an elevator and what many kids call the "playing in spaghetti" installation), there is also a painting studio in the Boone Gallery, and story times and tours several times a week. Did we mention that the tar pits are literally the museum's back yard? Bring a change of play clothes and you can let them poke and play in the patches of tar that bubble up. If you can't find street parking (it's tough on weekends) you can always park in the underground lot and take a ride up on the glass elevator – just like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Miracle Mile.
6. Catch a Canyon
Grab the sun hat and take a hike through one of the many kid-friendly and accessible local canyons. Here are a couple of our close-by favorites:
Coldwater Canyon- This well maintained canyon has it all for family fun. With toddler and stroller friendly trails, great views, alternating shade and sun, as well as lots of trees and grassy areas to take a play break.
Topanga Canyon- Topanga State Park features 36 miles of trails through open grassland, live oaks and spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean big enough to inspire even the littlest of outdoor enthusiasts. Explore on your own or arrange a free and easy kid-friendly guided nature walk with one of the volunteer Topanga Canyon Docents.
Bronson Canyon – In the middle of Hollywood (right by the Scientology Celebrity Center), you can turn up Bronson Canyon (which inspired Charles Bronson to change his name) till it dead ends. Then park in the lot at the end, and take the hiking path to the right. It leads up to the Bat Caves, where they filmed the old 60's TV show. Kids love playing superhero in the shallow caves.
7. Ride on the Metro
Berlin had it right – there's something about riding on the metro-o-o… our shiny new Metro is pretty impressive to grown ups and is an adventure in and of itself to kids. Honestly, just taking a ride to anywhere is a fun outing for little ones, and at $1.50 a ride (and kids under 5 are free) it's a pretty cheap outing. Notice how each station reflects its neighborhood – the Hollywood stop at Hollywood & Vine has a movie theme, while the Chinatown stop has pagoda aspirations. But here's the really cool part – oh, the places you'll go. Take a trip to Hollywood and walk the walk of fame. Next stop, Exposition Park (see above). Or get out in Chinatown and shop and eat your fill of dim sum. Across the way is Olvera Street where you can wander the historic heart of the city (and maybe stop for a churro for the kiddos and a margarita for you – you're not driving!). Speaking of historic – don't forget to make a stop at the jaw dropping Union Station, where kids can watch trains come and go all day long. All over town.
8. Wander the Wetlands at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Center
Get up close and personal with tall egrets and herons, horn snails and crabs, and you might even be lucky enough to be there for the occasional sightings of white pelicans, peregrine falcon, and northern harrier at this amazing kid-friendly wetland preserve. Try the Overlooks Trail Tour, which is a relatively flat and easy kid and stroller friendly dirt path. Bring the binoculars for wildlife viewing and stop for a visit with the octopus that resides at the interpretative center. In the summer, the best time to visit is first this in the morning or late in the afternoon since mid-day temps can be quite uninspiring.
9. Fly like an Angel in the City of Angels
This is great, cheap fun where you can let the little ones ride the rails to their hearts content. With the price at 25 cents a ride, it won't break the bank. Known as the "Shortest Railway in the World", the original cars, named Olivet and Sinai, still ferry people up the steep incline. Once at the top, you can entertain with the giant golden nugget at the Wells Fargo Museum that's free between 9-5. At the bottom cross the street and head over to the marketplace for lunch or grab some to go and enjoy it in the park. This is definitely a great way to both navigate downtown Los Angeles and experience a bit of the city as it once was.
10. Sqwaaak – Talk with the Animals
Want a fun, and free, place to visit and even talk with some animals? Visit the raucous population of the Serenity Park Parrot Sanctuary at the Vets' Garden at the Veterans Administration campus in Westwood. These rescued birds welcome visitors with tremendous aplomb, and in no time you may find yourself engaged in conversation with a new feathered friend. If you're looking for quick and easy outing with the kids, look no further than this well-kept secret in the shadow of Westwood's skyscrapers. It's a great little animal attraction for kids who may be full of curiosity but short on attention span.

Should Tiger be the favorite at The Open?
July, 18, 2012
By Chris Fallica, ESPN Stats & Information | ESPN.com
David Cannon/Getty ImagesTiger Woods will look to end his major drought this week at Royal Lytham & St Annes
Woods has shown life this year with three wins. His victories have come on courses in which he has combined to capture 16 of his 74 PGA TOUR career wins. But the only time Woods played at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, he finished T-25 after posting three rounds in the 70s.
There is also Woods well-documented major drought, having played in 12 since his last win at the 2008 U.S. Open. His recent play at majors does not point to a 15th career major win.
In his last ten rounds at majors, Woods has been under par only once. In those same ten rounds – which span three majors, Woods has shot 75 or worse three times. In 68 rounds from the 2006 U.S. Open through the 2011 Masters (18 majors), Woods had four rounds of 75 or worse.
This year has been especially troubling for Woods at majors as 2012 marked the first time as a pro that he played in both the Masters and U.S. Open and didn't post a Top 20 finish in either. Strangely, both of those tournaments came in the event immediately following his first two wins of the year.
In his last 6 majors, Woods finished within 5 shots of the lead only once (2011 Masters) and his T-40 finish at the Masters in 2012 was his worst major finish as a pro.
After entering the weekend at the 2012 U.S. Open with a share of the lead, a 75-73 (+8) weekend accounted for his second-worst weekend score at a major. It also marked the second straight major that Woods was unable to win after holding a share of the 36-hole lead.
Prior to Y.E. Yang conquering Woods in the final round of the 2009 PGA Championship, Woods had been a perfect 8-for-8 in majors in which he held the 36-hole lead. Is the mystique gone? In his last 12 weekend rounds at majors, Woods has broken par in two of them.
So while it would be a surprise to no one if Woods again hoisted the Claret Jug, it would also not be a surprise to see Tiger with an earlier tee time than he would like come Sunday.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organisation (WHO), the Health Protection Agency (HPA) and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) have issued precautions that should be used with regard to avian influenza viruses.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organisation (WHO), the Health Protection Agency (HPA) and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) have issued precautions that should be used with regard to avian influenza viruses. For the most current information see the following websites:
The following questions and answers are based on information provided by the CDC and WHO.
What is avian influenza or flu? Influenza viruses that infect birds, such as the H5N1 virus, are called "avian influenza viruses." Avian influenza viruses do not usually infect humans; however, influenza viruses are constantly changing, and several instances of human infections have been reported since 1997.
What are the symptoms of avian influenza? Symptoms of bird flu in humans have ranged from typical flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat and muscle aches) to eye infections, pneumonia, severe respiratory diseases (such as acute respiratory distress), and other severe and life-threatening complications.
How is avian influenza transmitted? Birds that are infected with avian influenza viruses can shed virus in saliva, nasal secretions and faeces. It is believed that most cases of avian influenza infection in humans have resulted from contact with infected poultry or contaminated surfaces. In such situations, people should avoid contact with infected birds or contaminated surfaces, and should be careful when handling and cooking poultry. Strict hand hygiene must also be performed. Other means of transmission are possible, such as the virus becoming aerosolized and landing on exposed surfaces of the mouth, nose, eyes, or being inhaled.
Can avian influenza be transmitted from person to person? To date the CDC and WHO have reported that although there is evidence of limited person-to-person spread of infection, sustained human-to-human transmission has not occurred.
How long can the avian influenza virus survive in the environment? The duration that these viruses can survive in the environment depends on temperature and humidity conditions, but they may survive up to weeks in cooler and moister conditions.
What type of personal protective equipment (PPE) is recommended for health care workers who are exposed to patients with known or suspected avian influenza? Current HPA advice for protection of Health Care Workers in the management of possible H5N1 Avian Influenza infected returning travellers is to wear a correctly fitted EN149:2001 FFP3 respirator, gown, gloves and eye protection.
3M Health Care supplies two EN149 FFP3 disposable particulate respirators:
3M™ 1863 Respirator, Unvalved 3M™ 1873V Respirator, Valved
and 3M™ Protective Eyewear
What is the difference between a valved and unvalved respirator? Valved respirators are designed to offer enhanced wearer comfort and breathability. However, there is no difference in the filtration properties of valved and unvalved respirators.
Should avian influenza patients wear a surgical mask? Persons suspected of having avian influenza should be separated from others and asked to wear a surgical mask. 3M Health Care supplies a range of Surgical Masks
If a surgical mask is not available, tissues should be provided and patients should be asked to cover their mouth and nose when coughing.
What is the difference between an approved respirator and a surgical mask? Respirators are designed to help reduce the wearer's exposure to airborne particles. The primary purpose of a surgical facemask is to help prevent biological particles from being expelled by the wearer into the environment. Some surgical masks are also designed to be fluid resistant to splash and splatter of blood and other infectious materials. Surgical facemasks are not necessarily designed to seal tightly to the face and therefore air leakage around the edges is likely. However, some respirators are designed to have the characteristics of both an approved respirator and a surgical mask.
How important is respirator fit? Fit is very important. If a respirator does not seal properly to the face, airborne hazards can penetrate or enter underneath the face piece seal and into the breathing zone. It is very important to always follow the application instructions and do a user seal-check or fit-check before entering the contaminated environment. In the UK and Ireland, respirator fit testing is a requirement, and is the responsibility of the employer providing personal protective equipment. A good fit can only be obtained if the face is clean-shaven in the area where the respirator seals against the face. Beards, long moustaches, and stubble may interfere with a good seal and cause leaks into the respirator. Many medical facemasks, not approved as respirators, do not seal tightly to the face allowing airborne hazards to enter the breathing zone. Even those medical facemasks that appear to seal tightly to the face have not been designed to protect the wearer from airborne hazards. Therefore, they should not be considered an equivalent substitute for approved respirators.
For further information, please contact our Technical Advisor on (01509) 613170. For details of where to buy 3M disposable particulate respirators and protective eyewear, please visit Where To Buy or contact our Customer Services department on (01509) 613151.

Key lime pie is probably my favorite thing ever. Good key lime pie — not nasty, green, gelatinous, sorry-excuse-for-key-lime pie. As such, I also love other stuff with key lime juice. And I am actually allowed to eat small amounts of sherbet on this diet. So when my friend Isabel mentioned that she was making key lime sherbet the other day, I was all over it.
You know those new Haagen Dazs flavors that have five ingredients? Well, this only has four. So there.
If you haven't made homemade ice cream or sherbet, you definitely need to try it, ASAP. When my brother and I were little, my mom used to make ice cream in the summer and we would help. It would take forever, and we would all take turns churning the thing. But it was really, really good. Now you can get the same results in about 20 minutes with the magical machine below:
I was going to draw a heart around it, Perez Hilton-style, but I couldn't get Paint to cooperate. Boo. Anyway, the recipe I was working from calls for heavy cream and whole milk. We only drink skim milk, and I wanted to try making it slightly less fattening, so I decided to go with heavy cream and skim milk and hope for the best.
The thing is, I have had homemade ice cream that was made with Splenda and probably other blasphemous things, and it tasted fine but the consistency was really weird. When you tried to eat it, little shards would flake off. Ew. So obviously I wanted to avoid that.
I ended up having to add WAY more sugar than the recipe called for, at least a quarter cup more and maybe even a half cup more. I also added some more cream and left it in the ice cream maker for longer than I normally need to. It wasn't very thick when I stopped it (as you can see above), but it did taste amazing. I put it in the freezer overnight and it firmed up significantly. So my verdict? Go with whole milk if you want, but if you only have 2% or skim, that's OK, too.
Key lime sherbet
1 cup Key lime juice (squeeze it yourself from the key limes available at some grocery stores, or just buy a bottle. Make sure it is not regular lime juice)
1/4 cup Key lime zest (I didn't use this, but if you have actual key limes, go for it)
1 1/2 cups sugar (to start)
1/2 cup heavy cream (I added a bit more)
1 1/2 cups whole milk
Whisk sugar, key lime juice and zest together in a large bowl. Stir in sugar, cream and milk. Taste the mixture. If it is not sweet enough, add more sugar by spoonfuls. Add more milk (or cream) to mellow out the flavor a bit.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. I left mine going for about 35 minutes, but check on it after 20. Put sherbet in the freezer overnight to firm.

A Remark More Biting Than Zeno
Zeno took part in a revolt against Nearchus, tyrant of Elea, but was detected and apprehended. Nearchus then ordered him to be pounded to death in a mortar, unless he would tell the names of the other conspirators. When the philosopher was nearly dead he called the tyrant to him, as if to make a confession. Nearchus bending down put his ear close to the mouth of the dying man, when Zeno bit it off. This account is given as the origin of the phrase, "A remark more biting than Zeno."
