YESS celebrated their 30th anniversary this year and made the decision to change their name. After three decades, the former Youth Emergency Shelter Society was transformed to YESS — Youth Empowerment and Support Services.
The YESS name had a lot of brand equity (people have been referring to them as YESS for a long time) so we knew we had to keep that, but they needed something to better describe what the organization has been doing for years (a lot more than just an emergency shelter).
While YESS does offer immediate shelter for homeless youth, the majority of its efforts go towards long-term support and bettering the futures of youths facing difficult realities. YESS services include guidance, training, and outreach, as well as housing and shelter. They are there to help shape and build up the youth of Edmonton so that they can fly on their own.
Position statement
YESS is a relentlessly dedicated not-for-profit organization that shapes the future of Edmonton by supporting youth facing difficult realities. YESS offers distinctive and invaluable services through a variety of channels that range from immediate emergency shelter to ongoing support programs and individual guidance.
With the new/old name came the decision to rebrand. They were in need of a new logo that better describes who they are and what they do. The old icon was dated and bland with a colour palette that felt the same. We wanted to create a new icon that showed hope and freedom and potential and wanted it to be bright and colourful.

We wanted to do something special to celebrate YESS's evolution. We wanted to shout from the rooftops that they are much more than an emergency shelter. We dreamt big, bigger than we thought we could get away with. We partnered with a video production company and an audio visual company to project a short video onto their building revealing the new logo. 3D projection mapping has not been done in Western Canada much so it created a huge buzz and helped give YESS some publicity and media coverage (media came out to the event and the video was shown on the news).

6 appreciated remarks about "YESS"
Lovely, this is great. Only small gripe with me was the choice of font for the logo. I think I would have preferred something a little more 'friendly' and less compressed, loving the origami theme though.
Strong primary colors + geometric shapes = Google? I think this is great work but the basic design is very close to Google's design language. And since Google is such a well-known brand, I'm probably not the only one to have this association.
Christian… are you serious? That's the strangest comment I've come across in a while. This bears no resemblance to Google at all as far as I can see.
Think the bird icon had potential here. Let down by the typography and heavy handed application in my opinion.
I like this A LOT.
Having said that, I'm a tad obsessed with geometric colourful shapes at the moment so know I'm being heavily influenced by that, but still even objectively I'm pretty certain it's really great design work :D
This is great work. A lot of colors though, but that's just a matter of personal preference.
I really like the card holder. How'd you get the pattern on the string? -
This is fantastic, bright bold and on trend. I have no idea how well this 'stark geometric' trend will age, but for all the bad press the London 2012 Olympics logo and branding got, it's influence has resonated throughout design recently.

Atotech opens a new Nanotechnology Laboratory
at Case Western Reserve University, in Cleveland, USA
Multiple research and development agreements have been signed by Atotech and Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) for the support and enhancement of Atotech's global metallization technology development and, -material science and application failure analysis activities in Europe, Asia and the USA.
The established agreements with the department of Materials Science and Engineering as well as with the Institute of Advanced Materials will further strengthen Atotech's chemistry and analytical capabilities. Atotech's potential is catalyzed by the 16 global technology centers of which includes the semiconductor chemistry R&D and application center at the College of Nano-scale Science and Engineering (CNSE) in Albany, New York. Each technology center site is responsible for supporting local and international development and optimization activities of plating chemistries for tailored regional processes and applications. The department of Materials Science and Engineering at Case Western Reserve University sustains the ability to support nano-scale inspections, as well as failure and property analysis of which includes trace element analytics through the use of high resolution instruments.
The collaborative agreement includes the establishment of an organic chemistry laboratory dedicated to the support of new plating additive development specialized for small scale feature size plating. The laboratory will further enable and enhance Atotech's semiconductor R&D activities, which focus primarily on the optimization of copper plating process solutions using advanced polymers for structures down to the 22 nm node. Additional research is being performed on plating process development for sub- 22 nm node structures.
The new organic laboratory focuses on the physical treatment of existing organic polymers as well as on the development of new polymers. These organic additives play a major role in defect-free bottom-up fill technologies of copper Damascene structures, which are critical for the chip's wiring from M1 to up to Mx copper layers. These polymers must be optimized to fulfill the requirements for scaled barrier liner seed layers or for direct plating on liner layers in advanced structures.
Wide process windows are needed to plate semiconductor metal structures in various types of equipment, especially when dealing with a vast range of structure sizes from the nano-scale to the micro-scale. The same plating bath chemistry must perform uniformly across the wafer. As structures are sensitive to contamination, leading to a risk of yield losses or reliability exposures, the target is to achieve low incorporation levels of organics or organic by- products. Minimizing the consumption rate over the throughput in an ECD plating tool is also a goal.
Atotech's Vice President of Semiconductor Technology, Robert Preisser, stated after the signing of the contracts that he is very pleased with the new agreements between Case Western Reserve University and Atotech. "This new collaboration addresses open activities that will support R&D for nano scale metallization chemistry and process development. This collaboration is a strategic continuation of the existing cooperation between Electrochemical Research group at Case Western Reserve's department of Chemical Engineering and Atotech". Professor Uziel Landau, Chair of the Chemical Engineering Department and a long-time research collaborator of Atotech states that he is delighted with the progress made so far under the sponsorship of Atotech in advancing the state of interconnect plating technology and looks forward to the enhanced collaboration. Case Western Reserve University is a leading private research institution, located in Cleveland, OH. Its leading-edge faculty is internationally recognized for engaging in teaching and advanced research in a collaborative, hands-on environment.

There's a summery sweet dream lime taste to this that colors this and fills you up with pure euphoria. I don't know really what else to say about this except that it's the type of song that can just smack a smile on your face even when you're trying to keep it together and on the low – this one has all the right feel-good feels and is a testament to Giraffage's skills. This remix also comes with the announcement that the "sample-based pop" producer has an EP coming out via A-Trak's Fool's Gold Records and if this is supposed to be a taste… this EP can't come soon enough.

When we moved into a new house a couple of months ago, the extra nice guy from Direct TV helped set up our DVD burner w/ our DVR. But something's not working right on it. Right now, the power has to be *on* the burner at all times to watch TV. But if I want to burn DVD something that I had recorded on the DVR, the picture will record, but no sound. Somehow the sound is not connected through the DVD burner. And why the heck does the burner have to be on all the time? We didn't have it set up that way in NY. And I can't remember how we had everything all plugged in. We've got a speaker system to add to the mix as well that is not at the moment plugged in right.
Anyone on here well-versed in in this stuff? I like to think of myself as well-educated and pretty technically-abled, but this for whatever reason just seems so counter-intuitive to me. And no, my VCR is not flashing 12:00! I desperately want to burn stuff I've got recorded on the DVR so I can use them at presentations I do. So, if anyone can offer some help, that would be great, thanks! |

In a study of 116 patients, the overall response rate (ORR) was 68 percent in elderly treatment-naive (TN) patients with an estimated 96 percent progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 26 months. In patients with RR CLL/SLL, including those with HR disease, the ORR was 71 percent with an estimated PFS at 26 months of 75 percent.
A second study in 40 patients with HR CLL treated with the combination of ibrutinib and rituximab therapy reported an ORR of 83 percent, with 38 of the 40 patients continuing on therapy without disease progression. Patients with HR disease have inferior responses to standard chemo-immunotherapy and shorter rates of PFS and OS.
These findings, from ongoing Phase 1b/2 and Phase 2 trials, were presented in a press briefing today at the 54th annual meeting of the
In describing the findings of the Phase 1b/2 ibrutinib monotherapy trial, lead investigator
In his presentation, Dr. Byrd noted that current therapies have a number of limitations in terms of how long they can be used in a patient and their tolerability, especially in elderly patients. "Further, virtually all patients relapse, and there are few salvage regimens that produce durable remissions," he pointed out.
The Phase 2 trial, evaluating ibrutinib in combination with rituximab, was led by
"We are very excited by the response rates we saw with ibrutinib-rituximab combination therapy, and believe they emphasize the need for rapid, further development of ibrutinib, especially for patients with high-risk CLL/SLL," said Dr. Burger.
Studies and Findings
Oral presentation 189, The Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib (PCI-32765) promotes high response rate, durable remissions, and is tolerable in treatment naive (TN) and relapsed or refractory (RR) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) patients including patients with high-risk (HR) disease: New and updated results of 116 patients in a phase Ib/II study
This presentation was based on findings from a Phase 1b/2, multi-center trial with 116 patients with TN (n=31), RR (n=61) or HR (n=24) CLL/SLL. Patients were treated with oral ibrutinib monotherapy, either 420 mg or 840 mg daily. Patients with RR disease had received at least two prior therapies; patients with HR disease had relapsed within two years following chemo-immunotherapy. The study objectives were to determine the ORR, PFS, overall safety (OS), safety of the two dosing regimens and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics.
Responses were independent of high-risk clinical or genetic features, such as a deletion of part of chromosome 17 (del17p).
Most adverse events (AEs) were Grade 1 or 2 in severity, with the most common attributed to ibrutinib being diarrhea, fatigue, nausea and rash. Adverse hematologic events were relatively infrequent. In patients with cytopenia (low blood cell counts) at the beginning of the study, sustained improvements of platelet counts (78 percent) and hemoglobin (82 percent) were seen after treatment. There was no evidence of cumulative toxicity or long-term safety concerns.
Oral presentation 187, The BTK inhibitor ibrutinib (PCI-32765) in combination with rituximab is well tolerated and displays profound activity in high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients
This presentation was based on findings from a Phase 2, single-center trial with 40 patients with HR CLL treated with 420 mg/day ibrutinib in combination with rituximab, a current standard CLL therapy. Patients with HR disease were previously treated and had one of the following characteristics: deletion of a part of chromosome 17 (del17p), which is associated with poorer treatment outcomes; a gene mutation called TP53; del11q, another partial chromosome deletion associated with poorer outcomes; or a short remission duration (less than three years) after first-line chemo-immunotherapy.
The results after a follow-up of three to six months are:
"We believe the updated findings from these two trials further affirm the possibilities of ibrutinib," said
About Ibrutinib
Ibrutinib was designed to specifically target and selectively inhibit an enzyme called Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). BTK is a key mediator of at least three critical B-cell pro-survival mechanisms occurring in parallel — regulating B-cell apoptosis, cell adhesion, and lymphocyte migration and homing. Data are consistent with a mechanistic model whereby ibrutinib blocks BCR signaling, which drives cells into apoptosis and/or disrupts cell migration and adherence to tumor-protective microenvironments.
The effectiveness of ibrutinib alone or in combination with other treatments is being studied in several B-cell malignancies, including CLL/SLL, relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma and multiple myeloma. A comprehensive late stage Phase 2 and 3 program is under way.

Importance of the other blood group systems9. Importance of the other blood group systemsBlood samples are routinely grouped for ABO & Rh only. However all individuals carry antigens from other blood group systems also and they may also develop antibodies if transfused blood containing antigens absent on their own RBCs.All patient samples are subjected to an antibody screen prior to a transfusion to detect such unexpected antibodies. If the antibody screen is positive, it is necessary to identify the antibody and transfuse blood lacking the corresponding antigen. Lewis blood group system Lewis antigens (Lea and Leh) derived from precursor and H substances involved in synthesis of A and B antigens are absorbed by red cells from plasma. Le gene is present on chromosome 19 and is inherited independent of ABO, hh and Sese genes. The phenotypic expression of Le gene depends on individual's Se/se and H/h status. All Le (a-b+) are secretors and all Le(a+b-) are non-secretors. Le (ab-) individuals can be secretors or non-secretors. Lewis antibodies Lewis antibodies are usually naturally acquired IgM type. They fix compliment and may cause haemolysis generally below room temperature. Anti-Lea antibodies commonly occur in Le (a-b-) individuals and rarely in Le (a-b+) individuals. Both anti-Lea and -Leh can cause decreased red cell survival and HTR. In pregnancy, Lewis antibodies (IgM) are found however, these do not cause HDNB. MNSs blood group system Two groups of antigens MN and Ss U are situated on glycophorin A and glycophorin B respectively. Two pairs of codominant genes M&N, S and s located on chromosome 4, control the expression of these antigens. MN antigens Red cells express M,N or both antigens in addition to "N-like" antigen on M cells.
The homozygous individuals show stronger agglutination than heterozygotes thus showing a dosage effect. The actively of the antigens depends on presence and composition of attached sialic acid residue. Therefore, the activity of these antigens is destroyed after treatment with proteolytic enzymes. SsU antigens Ss antigen are located on sialoglycoprotein, glycophorin B and U antigen is related to all genes involved in the synthesis of Ss gene products. MN antibodies Anti-M is a naturally occurring antibody and is found more commonly than anti-N. MN antibodies do not usually cause transfusion-induced reactions as MN antigens are weak immunogens. Anti-Mantibodies usually are IgG which behave as "complete" antibodies because of increased density of antigenic sites on red cells. These are cold antibodies. Anti-N antibody, although uncommon is also a cold antibody of IgM type. Anti-M and anti-N are not usually clinically significant but HDN and HTR are known to occur. Ss antibodies Anti-S and anti-s are clinically significant antibodies. These are formed in response to prior blood transfusion and may be either IgM or IgG type. Anti-s is less frequently encountered antibody than antiS. Anti-U antibodies are found in S-s-U- individuals and may cause HTR. Kell blood group system Kell antigens are highly immunogenic and known to cause HTR and HDN. Two antigens K (Ki) and K (1(2) have been identified. Incidence of Kell antigen (K) in India is reported to be 0.3-0.7%, where as cellano (k) is a high frequency antigen (>99% incidence). Kpa (K3), Kph (1(4), Jsa (K6) and Jsb (1(7) are other antigens of this system consisting of 23 KelI antigens. In Ko (Kell null), all Kell system antigens are absent. As the Kell system consists of numerous antigens, it has become very complex and now a numerical nomenclature has been introduced. Mcleod phenotype Kell antigens are expressed weakly in this X-lkinked syndrome consisting of mild haemolytic anaemia, acanthocytosis, neuomuscular abnormalities with elevated cratine phosphokinase (CPK) enzyme. Individuals with Mcleod phenotype may have chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), or a high level of CPK. Kell antibodies Anti-K are formed in response to transfusion and are usually IgG type. Alloimmunization in mother can occur due to foetomaternal haemorrhage. Anti-K can cause immediate and delayed haemolytic reactions. Anti-k (anti-cellano) is less common and only KK homozygotes produce this antibody after blood transfusion. These antibodies are best detected by the indirect antiglobulin test. Some examples do bind complement also. The in-vitro characteristics of anti-Kell antibody

We interviewed Ty Evans at length for issue #121, but due to space constraints, we couldn't fit the entire interview in The Mag. With that said, we'd like to present you with the full-length transcript of the interview — along with a full-screen gallery and a few extra photos — for your reading and viewing pleasure.
You're in a crazy place.
Yup, I'm in Kabul, Afghanistan, right now.
How crazy is it?
Definitely gnarly, for sure. Feels really raw. Life's pretty hard here, but I think people are trying to make it better.
Are you visiting there through Skatistan?
Yeah. I want to involve a skateboarder from Afghanistan in my film, so I came out here to hang with the Skatistan guys and try to figure out what's even possible.
Are they your guides? Are they helping you navigate and get around and telling you what to do and what not to do?
Yeah. These dudes have been helping me a ton. I contacted [Skatistan founder] Oliver [Percovich]. He's not here right now, but Brandon Gomez is here and in charge and he's been amazing with helping orchestrate everything. It's been amazing, man. It's been a life-changing experience. I never thought I'd be coming to a place like this for skateboarding.
Let's talk about the film you're working on. Almost right after you finished Pretty Sweet you jumped into this Brainfarm project. After filming and editing for five years, why not take a break?
I did take a short break like right after Pretty Sweet, but then we did this Red Bull commercial with Sheckler and basically a bunch of the [Brainfarm] gear was out here in LA, so I had a chance to grab it all and go out with a bunch of the guys for like a week. I went out with like P-Rod, Torey [Pudwill], [Sean] Malto, Nyjah [Huston], and just kinda shot a bunch of stuff. It was pretty hard 'cause it was raining every day and it was a lot to take in to learn all this stuff. But those dudes were super patient and stoked to come out and be a part of this new project.
What's the working title?
The working title has some issues. But the idea of the film is the connections within skateboarding and showing how all these different skateboarders around the world are the same. I would love to have the title reflect that.
You mentioned the gear. And in talking to you in the past, that was a big factor for you wanting to start this project—access to all this stuff. When you talk about the gear, what's different in shooting this project with Brainfarm, gearwise, than Pretty Sweet and Fully Flared?
With those videos, we just used the standard stuff you use to film skateboarding. And what's great about this project, now that I've signed on with Brainfarm, is that I have access to really amazing tools, whether it be remote control helicopters with cameras on them to full-size helicopters that you get inside and fly around in with a camera system—all the latest and greatest stuff that's out there to use. What Brainfarm wants to accomplish is pushing the boundaries of filmmaking and that's what I want to accomplish as well. Doing something new and bringing something new to the table. I think that's what this whole past year has been—access to all this amazing gear. And it's definitely hard because you need to be on the same level as the skater and understand what's going on in their head, and if you're using all this new equipment you need to know how to film it correctly and do it fast and proficiently. You could have the most insane, expensive piece of equipment, but if you're stopping every five minutes to figure something out or fix something, it defeats the purpose. Some of those things with gear problems … a five-minute wait can turn into like an hour. If you do that you're dead in the water. All this stuff I've tried to strip down and make as simple as possible, as fast as possible, and proficient as possible.
It seems like when skaters start working with new things, they change it. They figure out a way to make what's out there work for them. I know you're working with these giant Red cameras and maybe a Phantom and some stuff I don't even know about—custom equipment. Is there stuff you've had to do and fabricate and build to make this gear work better for you and for skateboarding?
Yeah. It's not just skateboarding or me. Everyone kind of tailors their equipment to what fits them best and to what they're filming. One of the main things I've been filming with is called the Cineflex Camera System. It's a camera that's in a ball that has a bunch of gyros stabilizing it. That's what you usually see underneath a helicopter. We had my buddy make a mount so it can attach to the front or back of my truck. And I've been driving around shooting with that. It looks insane. There are all these tools that open up new doors. I went to SF, hooked up with a bunch of skaters up there, and shot guys bombing hills, doing tricks in the hills. I've never been able to film like that before—having a stabilized long-lens camera and then going as fast as you want, wherever you want. Down a hill or not down a hill. It's a different dynamic using some of these tools to film stuff in a different way. It's pretty cool, man.
In that instance, is there someone driving and someone operating the camera?
Someone's driving and I'll be op-ing the camera while sitting shotgun. It's super fun, man. It feels like a video game or something.
Who are the main heads that are involved, skatingwise?
P-Rod has been the main skater involved in it. It's been great. He's been going out with me a ton. The film isn't a Paul Rodriguez film, but it's definitely skateboarding through Paul's eyes. There are plenty of other people who are in the film as well. I've been going out with a bunch of different guys: Sean Malto, Shane O'Neill, Torey Pudwill … I want to have every type of skateboarder in the film. It's almost like back in the day when I used to do the TransWorld videos, and we'd have a select group of guys who we'd pick for these films who would usually never skate together. It was pretty cool grabbing guys who normally don't skate together and pulling them out on sessions.
You said Paul was the main focus, but it's not a Paul movie. Will we see the traditional three-minute parts from people, or will this follow some other format?
Definitely no three-minute parts. It's more about these individuals in skateboarding and the stories that go along with them and the locations that go along with them. But there will definitely be sections of the film that have a ton of skateboarding in them.
Other than equipment and budget, what has working through Brainfarm allowed you to do that you couldn't have done on your own?
Well, I know you said just equipment and budget, but that is really, really important—what they are bringing to the table with that.
Some people believe that this equipment just materializes somehow and everyone has access to everything they want, but that's not the case, is it?
No. Let's be realistic, 99.9 percent of skateboarding films have always been shot with the same cameras over the years. Back in the 90s it was the Canon A-1. Then after that—toward the late 90s and early 2000s—it was the VX 1000. And the last five or so years it's been the HVX 200. HD cameras, you know? All those cameras were a couple thousand dollars, and people could purchase those themselves. Now we're stepping into this world with these really high-end cameras that are insane, ludicrous amounts of money. In order to have access to those kinds of cameras, you need a lot of money or some kind of backing. With Pretty Sweet, I was able to use some of those [high-end] cameras, but a lot of that was just through friends who happened to have the cameras and were kind enough to let me borrow them. As a favor, you know? Going into this film, I have access to all these tools that I've always wanted to use. Any of the newest camera equipment, we have access to. Brainfarm and I have relationships with a lot of people who are pushing these new technologies, and they want to get it out there and into our hands, which is awesome.
I know you asked what else do they bring to the table besides the gear, but just to be able to have that is insane. And that's one part of the equation. The second part, with skateboarding films, is that you can only get them seen by so many people. You make a film for a company and it's most likely gonna be sold through skateshops and sold online through iTunes, and that's it. But I've always been in the mindset where I would love for skate films to be seen by as many people as possible and thus grow skateboarding. I think Brainfarm has that same idea. They want as many people as possible to see the film that we make. The reach of this film will be a lot broader than any of the films I've done in the past. That's another one of the great things that Brainfarm brings to the table.
Is there something Brainfarm has done that might be a good example of what to expect?
They've done other films and commercial work in the past. But their big main film was Art Of Flight, which is a snowboarding film that I'm a huge fan of. I'm an avid snowboarder and I love watching that film. But I think this film is going to be totally different than Art Of Flight. I know there are a million people out there who say they're making the Art Of Flight of skateboarding, but this film is not the Art Of Flight of skateboarding.
I like the idea of delivering this work to a wider audience. Are there things you've run into through that direction where you've thought, "That would be the wrong way to go. That would be too mainstream and we have to keep this thing more skate." Or are you just relying on the storytelling to do that for you?
I think it's a slippery slope. It's a give and take. How much do you want to give in order to reach that ultimate goal? You go with the flow, and you choose your battles. This whole last year has been me learning how to use all these cameras and getting the ball rolling. And now the film is really starting to happen. As of now, everything's working out great.
You mentioned the real connection between skaters everywhere and that being the lynchpin that's holding the film together. What have you found out? I mean, I know we have a feeling that we're all connected, but what are some of the things that you see connecting people in, say, Santa Monica to people in Afghanistan?
I'm discovering stuff as I go along, but we all know about that common bond we share. You meet a dude who works behind the counter in a liquor store, and he says, "Hey, I used to skate." And you have that instant bond like you know each other. Showing that is definitely challenging. I'm trying to figure it out as I go. It's gonna be hard, but I would love to be able to show that connection, tell some stories, and also show some amazing skateboarding.
The storytelling part is something I've heard you mention a few times. There have been little bits and pieces of that in your videos, but there's never really been a beginning-to-end arc. Is this another big learning curve for you, or do you feel like it's something you've always had and you've just been trying to express somehow and this is a chance to do that?
This film has been in my head forever. But at the same time, there is a learning curve. I'm kinda learning a lot of this as I go. No one knows what this film is going to be until it's finally done. We're trying to take a more structured approach to this film. And it's challenging to show some of that stuff. It's easy to go film a bunch of skateboarding, throw in a song, add some slow-mo to some slow sections of the song and some fast stuff to the fast parts of the song, and call it a day. This is a bit more to dive into, and it's something that I've always wanted to do. Some of the films I've done in the past have had elements of that, but nothing of this scale.
Is there something you look to—your favorites—that you try to draw influence from?
Yeah and no. I'd like to make this thing our own genre. The best way to describe it would be an action sports film/documentary hybrid. Skateboarding is funny, man. Skateboarders don't like change. They like their things exactly how they're supposed to be. If you introduce anything new, they have a knee-jerk reaction to it. With skate films, these guys wrote the formula twenty-plus years ago and we've all been sticking by it. It's hard to not stick to that formula.
We all have expectations about the way things are supposed to be. What strikes me, though, is that when Stacy Peralta and Craig Stecyk were making those first skate films, they were working with equipment that no one had ever worked with, too. They created that skating-plus-music format but there was an arc to it. It seems like you might be in that same spot now—you're doing something that hasn't really been done before and working with gear that hasn't been used too much for skateboard films yet. And the only way we can see that it's happened before is with 25 years of hindsight.
It's exciting, fun, scary, different, unpredictable … it's all that stuff mashed into one. It's been a cool ride so far. I didn't really know what this was going to be like. I still don't. I mean, I'm talking to you on Skype right now from the middle of Afghanistan. It's crazy. A couple days ago I was up in a helicopter flying over Dubai looking for skate spots.
It feels special to be able to do this. I feel so lucky that I've been able to make these skate films for so long, and now it's to a point where it's still going and the scale of them is getting even bigger. It feels like skate films in general hit the ceiling years ago. It feels good to maybe be able to break through that ceiling.
Speaking of breaking through the ceiling, do you think the high-five count in this film will be higher than Pretty Sweet?
Definitely higher. It's gonna be all high fives and no skateboarding. [Laughs] You know what's funny? I don't give a fuck what what anyone says about that shit. I might be dead tomorrow, but at least I fucking made Pretty Sweet. At least I made Fully Flared. At least I made that shit and it's there on the books. I'm not making these films to satisfy every single skater out there because it's not humanly possible. There are guys who like it, guys who don't, and guys who don't care. That's it.
If you're out there only looking for strong references to tie your work to, you end up following someone else's path.
Absolutely. Everything's a fucking remix. I guarantee when this film comes out, it'll be dissected piece by piece … this is a copy of this and that's a copy of that. People are fucking insane, man. Get it through your head. Everything's a remix. There's no such thing as originality.
If you decide to only stick with a certain catalog of music or if you stick to a certain format, it satisfies a lot of people because they think they know what a skateboard video is supposed to be, but that's as far from original as you can get at this point. To do something new you have to challenge the audience a bit.
Absolutely. It's so frustrating sometimes. People get so worked up over it and I don't even care. It's like some production company in Mexico did a commercial that was similar to Fully Flared and people were like, "Check this out! This is so gnarly!" It doesn't make sense to me that people get so worked up over some of this stuff. It's easier to sit there and criticize something than it is to go out there and do it yourself. Something like Pretty Sweet took five years of my life to make. I don't know if those people think that I go out and film for a couple days and then go on vacation with my family or something. When I make these films, it's like, I'm in the middle of China and seeing an email video of my kid taking his first steps. Every Saturday and Sunday I'm out filming because those are the days businesses are closed, but that's also time I'm not with my wife and kid. I'm forty years old and I'm still doing this. I think it's pretty funny that people get so worked up with all that shit. It's like beyond easy to criticize something.
It's good and bad, but I think that's also a big part of what connects skaters to each other today. They have an opinion and they care a lot about this stuff.
Yeah. But people say that they want to see a raw skateboarding video. But what is your vision of raw? Is raw throwing a VX 1000 in your backpack and skating around all day? Well, guess what? I've been doing that for the last twenty years. Maybe you do that for twenty years and you can be raw. I don't know. Who cares, man?
The heat's been turned up, too, because everyone can hear everyone else talk today. But sometimes that voice seems a lot louder than it really is because of social media outlets and their ability to give voice to anonymous critics.
That's just the world we live in now. I look over and all these motherfuckers are sitting at the goddamn lunch table with their phones out. We would go on tours and dudes would be sitting there, not talking to each other, but commenting to each other through Instagram. Shit is fucking crazy.
Are there some people who you've always wanted to shoot with but you haven't been able to?
I've hit up some dudes and sometimes they're kind of nervous. Like, "I don't know if I can go out with you. I don't know if I'm good anymore." Or I've heard this one: "Oh, you only want gnarly tricks. Sorry, I can't go out with you, bro." That sucks.
Do you have to do a little bit of selling?
Totally. Dudes are hesitant. What is it? Is it going to be cool? Am I going to look wack in it? Is this thing gonna suck? I mean, I get where they're coming from, but at the same time a lot of people have really stepped up to the plate and been stoked to be a part of it, which has been pretty rad. I know there have been dudes who were hesitant to go film with me, but they come out and we film something and I show it to them. Let's say we film a trick on the Cineflex, and they're just like, "Whoa! That looks really different than anything I've seen before. This is rad! Let's go film. You want to go film tomorrow?" And that could be the same dude who was like, "I'm not filming with those crazy cameras." There are dudes who are set in their ways when it comes to skating, and then there are dudes who are open minded. There are a ton of guys that I've been hitting up and I've been getting great response … I've gone out with a ton of people that I've never been skating with before, and it's been awesome. And there are a lot of guys who I haven't been skating with in years that I've been filming with again. It's been cool. It's had that energy that it's something different than a normal skate film.
Is there stuff you've seen people working on in the last year or year and a half that you've been excited about?
Yeah! That Magenta SF edit with Ben Gore. I think it was all filmed VX 1000 fisheye. It was sick! It was them surfing the hills. That was fucking awesome! That thing was so sick, man. It's funny. At a certain point, it doesn't matter about all the gear and all that stuff. You know what I mean?
I would love to do another Chomp video. For that I really wouldn't have any of the set rules I've had to follow for some of these other films. The type of video where you don't have all the rules are so much easier to make. You can just go out and make a skate film.

natural childbirth
natural childbirth
Any of the systems (e.g., the Lamaze method) of managing birth without drugs or surgery. All begin with classes to teach pregnant women about the birth process, including when to push and what breathing and relaxation techniques to use at which stage. The goal is to reduce fear and muscle tension, which can increase the pain of labour, and to make the mother an active participant in the process. The father or another partner usually attends the classes with the mother and coaches her during the birth. See also midwifery; obstetrics and gynecology.

Three Children Fight Off Predator
This was just a frightening story. 3 little girls were walking home, as a parent, you think there are 3 of them. So you feel like they'll be safe... but it happened.
The street: Parkway DRIVE NE in Atlanta....
Three girls were walking home Wednesday night when a man pulled up along side them in a black pickup. He slowed and asked the girls, "Where you going?" The 3 girls, ages 7, 12 and 9, knew what to do because of 'stranger danger' (IGNORE HIM? DO NOT ANSWER.) But he didn't give up, he pulled in front of the 3 girls and cut them off. And thats when it got scary: he got out! He grabbed the 7 year old, covered her mouth so she couldn't scream, and began dragging her toward the truck.
The other two girls looked on in HORROR! AND THAT'S WHEN THE SURPRISE HAPPENED.
The other two girls grabbed the victim and attempted to pull her away from the suspect, who then released the girl and fled the scene in his vehicle."
THEY FOUGHT HIM OFF!!!!! You go girls!!!!! Now, that's a great thing to do and it worked because it surprised the perp. But normally kids should not put themselves at risk.
or you may lose them!
This incident illustrates what Revved Up Kids teaches to children all over metro-Atlanta. The predators want the easy prey, the child that will go quietly, the child that will fearfully obey every command. Children need to understand this; and parents need to tell them that if they are ever facing an attacker, they need to act like wild animals. They need to kick and scream and bite and punch until the predator realizes that he chose the wrong child

HYDERABAD: Differences appear to have surfaced between chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and PCC president Botsa Satyanarayana on the issue of the resignations submitted by 26 ruling party MLAs in support of YSR Congress chief Jaganmohan Reddy with the former reluctant to face byelections now and the latter wanting to use the opportunity to consolidate his aim of becoming the next CM.
After announcing that the Congress is in favour of byelections, Botsa had his protege and whip Kondru Murali meet assembly Speaker Nadendla Manohar on Friday morning and urge him to accept the resignations of the Jagan loyalist MLAs so that the move would hasten bypolls. Murali also went to the extent of telling the media after the meeting that he had discussed the resignations issue with the Speaker and that the Congress was sure to win all the seats if the bypolls are held. However, Manohar later denied that he had discussed the resignations issue with Murali when the latter called on him and added that his decision on the resignations will not be influenced by political parties or its leaders.
According to Botsa aides, the PCC chief is pressing for bypolls so that it can improve his chances of becoming the CM in the near future. "If the Congress fares well in the polls, the PCC chief can take the credit while if it does poorly, the blame would be on the chief minister. But either way, it would give an opportunity to Botsa to go to the people along with Chiranjeevi and build his position ahead of assembly elections in 2014 or a snap poll ahead of it.
On the other hand, from the CM's point of view, byelections at this juncture would pose problems for him rather than strengthen his position.
"Due to poor revenue collections, the state coffers are empty and because of this the CM is not in a position to announce any pre-election sops. Therefore, delaying the possibility of facing the people now would be in the best interests of Kiran Kumar," said a CM aide.
Sources close to Botsa claim the PCC chief has already lost one chance of going to the people with a populist measure. With the CM and the PCC differing on the issue, the Jagan camp is hoping to exploit the differences to their advantage. "However, we will not allow that to happen," said a Congress leader, who hoped that the two top ruling party leaders in the state come to some sort of understanding.

The City of Boston has been nationally recognized as a leader in sustainability and climate policy.
The City of Boston has been nationally recognized as a leader in sustainability and climate policy.
The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) named Boston the most energy-efficient city in the United States, according to its new 2013 City Energy Efficiency Scorecard, a report that ranks 34 of the most populous U.S. cities on policies and other actions to save energy. The report is the first to rank cities exclusively on energy efficiency efforts.
The Economist Intelligence Unit's Green City Index ranks Boston fifth in the country and sixth in North America for environmental sustainability, earning top scores in the categories of energy and water use per person.
The Hub has received the ranking from a national advocacy coalition Transportation for America. Their Pedestrian Danger Index takes into account pedestrian fatalities, size of the region, and the local popularity of walking.

Life is hard for everyone, sometimes. We all experience unhappiness, anxiety, and dissatisfaction--not always knowing why, or what to do.

Item Description
For sale is one used Denon POA-2200 stereo power amplifier in good condition.
There is quite a bit of information about these amps on the web if you do a search for it.
This is a powerhouse amp. Rated at 200 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 300 watts at 4 ohms. With dynamic power up to 600 watts at 2 ohms. Lots of good clean power for driving just about any speaker.
Sound quality is very good for this price. To my ears it sounds much better and more powerful than any of the Carver, NAD, Adcom, etc. amps at this price point.
Cosmetically this amp has a few very light pin-sized scratches on the front panel that are barely noticeable even from up close, and not at all from across the room. The top front edge also has a few light scratches.
Electrically this amp works great with no issues at all.
I do not have the original box but it will be very well packed for safe shipping.
I will include shipping within Canada and the USA at my asking price. Paypal payment only, please. No extra charge.
Thanks for looking.

Deadlines. Cathedrals. Gasoline. Chicken Spinach Alfredo Pasta. Christmas. Being Sick. Madre mia, there's been a lot going on the past couple of weeks, and I must admit it's made me feel a bit like Charlie Sheen: "I have one speed, I have one gear: Go!" Somehow I've got to figure out how to gather up all of my scattered experiences and shove them all (in a creative and orderly fashion of course) into one post. Why am I not getting paid for this….?
To begin with, last week I was privileged to travel to Seville, Spain with my friend Carter. Thanks to RyanAir's Mercedes quality and Wal-Mart price, we were able to go for next to nothing. Seville is in the province of Andalucia, the southern most part of the country, and just a mere 40 minute flight from my lovely home base of Valencia. The morning we left our prospects were not looking too good. The drizzling rain seemed to foreshadow a cold and gloomy excursion down South, yet we surprisingly found ourselves in beaming rays of sun by the time we started out on our morning tour of the city. The hostel we stayed at was amazing and gave two free daily walking tours of the city, both of which we attended on Thursday. By the end of the second tour I felt like my knowledge and appreciation of Spanish history and culture had doubled in mass and I found myself breathless at the depth of what lay all around me. The Catedral de Seville would have been worth the price of the entire trip alone.
The poor structure has been tossed and turned, twisted and flipped around so many times I'm sure it doesn't even know what it is anymore. It was originally built as a Christian cathedral on top of ancient Roman ruins (remember this fact), before the Moorish invasion. After the Muslims took over the city, they decided that instead of tearing it down they would simply turn it into a mosque. Hence the Arabic inscriptions and other architectural motifs. However, what's worth noting is the structural genius of the enormous tower (at the time of construction the tallest in the world). When an earthquake shook the city after the Christians were again in power, most of the cathedral was destroyed, save the tower. The reason? Just as all modern day skyscraper foundations are built with absorptive capabilities (aka: they jiggle and jive when the ground shakes), so the Roman ruins below acted as a shock absorber for the tower. So thanks to Rome I was able to climb 150 ft. to the highest point in Seville to receive a miracle of a view of the city. Breathtaking. Some other quick interesting facts I digested: Columbus left Spain from Seville, much of the Spanish Inquisition took place in Seville, Columbus might have been Jewish, and Napoleon wasn't as short as people say he was. There you have it.
Upon returning to Valencia in slightly less than perfect health, I threw myself back into my design project, working furiously from Sunday till Wednesday night, seemingly without stopping. With other deadlines and test dates looming on the horizon, my academic activities have been rather full and fast-paced. But fear not, for Christmas is near! At least that's what I've been telling myself to try to make it through my workload. I know it's really not that close but I just made my plans for the break and now my mind is unable to focus on anything but vacation! (As if studying abroad isn't a vacation in and of itself). But as we are on the topic of Christmas (did I mention how excited I am about Christmas?), I am happy to share with you that I will be joining two friends on the most amazing journey of epic porportions to DUBLIN!!! Oh green, celtic, sheep covered land, how I long to see you. But before that we will meet up in Barcelona on Christmas day to celebrate for a few days, before commencing our post-Christmas plans. And after that who knows? Rome? Paris? Munich? The world is at my fingertips (well, at least all of the world with a RyanAir connection).
Scaling it down a bit, I've had some great joys in many of the smaller things going on in my life as well. This week I learned how to make chicken spinach alfredo pasta, of course with garlic mashed potatoes on the side. Unfortunately it seems that no one here has even tased alfredo pasta, not even my Italian classmate. Not even my friend ALFREDO! But even if I am the only person in Spain to have ever tasted this dish, I will delight in every bite until the pot is bone dry. Another major win for me has been finding clients for English lessons. At this point I have two people, one whom I sit and listen to for a half hour, occasionally correcting and at times discussing work-related dialogue. 10 euros. Bam. Starting this Saturday I will begin to be paid for playing with two little niños for an hour and a half, speaking in English of course. 15 euros. Shazam! See, it's easy to earn money while studying abroad in a foreign country!
I'm the type of person that needs a lot of alone time to reflect upon and process all of the information that I face. Often times it's while riding my bike next to the onion fields and irrigation channels on my way back to my flat, or as I am walking along the tiled sidewalks in the gleaming sunshine on my way back to my hostel. Me, myself and I have many a good talk, and I often come away with a new perspective on some aspect of life. This past week, as I was walking throughout Seville, admiring it for all it's beauty, I walked past a group of construction workers at a job site. As the sight of the dirty, sweaty men hit my eyes and the smell of diesel smoke from their machines entered my nostrils, it was as if I was briefly jolted back to some sense of reality which I have been living apart from for so long. And I remembered then that the experiences I have been blessed to have lately, the travelling, exploring, sight-seeing, and sun-soaking, are incredibly precious and rare, so much so that I began to feel the guilt from having taken them for granted. So while I am enjoying my stay on cloud nine, admiring the view from above of all the hardships and toils of the lives of the majority of the people below, I will work diligently to hold on to the threads of reality and not lose sight of how incredibly blessed I am. I will remember of what real life smells, of onions and diesel smoke.

Perhaps that jeering bet is what's kept the bicoastal battle alive even after the city surpassed Boston in venture capital invested in Internet companies in 2011. New York now has a stable of plausibly successful companies, including Foursquare, Etsy and Tumblr; and with both a Facebook engineering headquarters and the Cornell-Technion tech campus on the way, one would be hard-pressed to deny the city its tech cred. California dreamer Paul Graham, who finds New York intolerable, especially when the humidity causes sweat to bead above his upper lip, encourages the startups at his incubator, Y Combinator, to stay in the Bay Area. But even Mr. Graham acknowledged on a recent visit that "New York is definitely now solidly in the No. 2 spot." By this and many metrics, the city seems to have arrived. So why the persistent Valley-baiting?
Kirill Sheynkman, a former Silicon Valley resident who heads up the New York branch of RTP Ventures, a $750 $700 million fund based in Russia, likes to compare the New York tech scene to a football player stammering through a history report and then blurting out, "San Dimas High School football rules!" in a panic, a scene from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
"There's a lot of talk about Silicon Valley in New York City, a lot of comparison. I think it's the underdog syndrome," Mr. Sheynkmann said, though he added that the "star quality" of New York startups, which tend to be highly visible and impeccably-branded, might have something to do with the messaging.
"I don't see a need to compete," he said. "The two cities are different! They focus on different areas of tech. Tech is vast. It's like science. Science is a broad concept."
New York talks about itself for two reasons, he said. First: it's in the city's nature. Second: there is pressure to tell a compelling story in order to attract talent and capital.
Still, as much as New York tech loves itself, some are wary of talking too much talk.
"I just think it's a little bit of a wasted effort," said Kyle Bragger, who recently returned from a session at Mountain View's 500 Startups for his startup Forrst. "Is it really productive to have yet another blog post debate about the latest 'New York is better or worse than other city,' or 'City A is better or worse than City B'?"
Maybe the persistent marketing served a purpose when New York was getting on its feet. But at this point the local tech scene is at least toddling, if not walking. "We call it the flywheel effect," said Lucas Nelson, an associate at DFJ Gotham Ventures. "Is the flywheel going? Can it sustain itself, or do you still need to put energy in it?"
New York needs big exits and role models more than it needs savvy marketing, he said. "I think the underdog thing is getting pretty old pretty quickly," he said. "I don't want to dissuade anyone who is cheerleading in New York. But in the end, no amount of cheerleading will take the place of smart, experienced angels, or smart experienced anything."
Others pointed out that the marketing for New York tech tends to get competitive mostly because talent and capital are scarce. "We need to keep investing in the ecosystem and evangelizing what is going on here," Mr. Wilson wrote in an email. "Students still leave the CS programs at Columbia, Princeton, and NYU and go to Silicon Valley. That means we still need to market NYC."
A survey of local tech professionals suggested that the boosterism is likely to continue. "NY tech talking NY tech is fine," Alex Taub, head of business development at Aviary, said in an email. "I don't think it's an insecurity thing—I think it's just topical because NY tech is really thriving. Real businesses are being built and scaling here."
New York may not be insecure, but there seems to be plenty of demand for self-validation. Two entrepreneurs have organized New York Tech Day, a "science fair for startups" to "celebrate New York's awesome startup ecosystem" in April. More concretely, it's going to be a gigantic one-day expo at the block-sized Lexington Ave. Armory, with 200 startup booths, more sponsor and vendor booths, and a few thousand attendees rotating through.
It will followed by an awards show.
A version of this story appeared in the New York Observer the week of February 20, 2012.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story said Rachel Sklar moved to New York two years ago; that is incorrect. She has been in the city for 13 years. Betabeat regrets the error.
Thanks Adrianne! Just a quick note of clarification re: no dog in the fight – obviously I'm a huge fan of New York, and booster thereof – I just meant in context of the us vs. them stuff – I actually really like SF and the West Coast and do what I can to keep Virgin in business. And that Antonio dude's blog post was ridic.
Way to compile the dialogue/shine light on the circus surrounding New York vs. SF tech hubs! I think the "hippies from California" should push for the peace-not-war approach, personally, and NY's cheerleaders should root for both teams. Although, I would like to see "this guy Antonio something" wearing an I Heart NY shirt for an entire month…
Hey Rachel,
I stand by my post. The day I lose the bet and am wearing the shirt you can call it 'ridic'. What's really ridiculous is the passel of cheerleaders in this post egging on the New York tech scene. Happy to talk pharma, and telephony and whatever else (particularly those, in fact). SF and NY 'neck and neck' are they? Self-congratulatory, myopic bullshit.
Incidentally, just having a website doesn't make you a tech company. Spare me mentions of Etsy or Rent The Runway.
Mr. Garcia-Martinez. Your comments here and on your referenced blogpost wreak of bitterness. For the record – I never heard anyone ever say that NY would rival the Bay Area for VC in 5 years. That's as ridiculous as saying the Bay Area built its start-up ecosystem in 5 years. I wouldn't even say 10 years. Anyone who has understanding of business/economic cycles would say you'd have to measure closer to 20 years down the road. As far as your blog – since you closed comments I'd love to you have your email to retort every single one of your points. Many of them – from business environment to quality of life were WAY off – as many of the persons on there pointed out to you. I will say right here though that to compare an entire region/metro area (Bay Area) to your experience in one tiny part of a city (Lower Manhattan) is not even apples/oranges…. not even close. The NYC metro area actually is actually spread across parts of 4 states (NY/NJ/CT/PA). Whatever happens economically in NYC ultimately spills over into the rest of the area. For instance – just to use a "tech" example – the IBM research headquarters (Thomas J. Watson Center) in Westchester County (originally started at Columbia Univ on 116th street) is closer to NYC than San Fran is to San Jose. The old Bell Labs moved from Manhattan across the river to NJ – but likewise is still closer to NYC than San Fran is to San Jose. Get the point? Tech start-ups will be no different… just as you should know happens in the Bay Area itself – where companies move from one locale to the next… Left up to you – a California companies like Intel and GlobalFoundries (or an international one like Tokyo Electron) would have not in recent times moved some of their research to "sleepy" Albany, NY (the upstate capitol) to be near the CNSE. They think they knew what they were doing… just as Google did by paying all that money to buy an old building on the westside of Manhattan. You should also use the same method of analysis for the quality of life you pontificated about. I was just up in mostly rural Dutchess County (can still get there by commuter train) visiting friends – and they live right next to a horse stable, hay farm, and a wooded area where maple syrup is extracted (no chemicals). You can even buy raw milk up there from certain farms. Did I mention they live closer to NYC than San Jose is to Sonoma???
Very little tech in the NY Tech meetup. The NY Tech meetup is for wannabes that think they are techies because they use Twitter. Real techies avoid it.
That is one of the main problems with NYC: there are more people talking about tech than actually doing it. Not much hardcore tech being developed in NY, outside of Wall St that is. So me a big open source project and I will guarantee that top committers are in California.
You spelled Pom Pons incorrectly in the HEADLINE.

When you feel like having a party as you drive, music is a necessity. But there's only so much time you have to listen (unless you're spending days on the road), so what to choose?Here is our Ultimate Road Trip Playlist, which is best enjoyed during the spring and summer seasons.Kick things off right with a little Bob Dylan and play "Like a Rolling Stone." Then get into the long-haul spirit with "I Would Walk 500 Miles" by the Proclaimers. "Life is A Highway" by Tom Petty is also a great choice for these journeys (especially if you're on the highway...)Speed things up and get country funky with "Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band. Then keep high energy levels with Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."Transition into a groove with "Proud Mary" by Ike and Tina Turner (if you can find the version by Beyoncé and Tina, use that instead. Female power is better on this song). Add in Janis Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee."These lists can go on and on. The important thing is variety... but also a main theme. All of these things are about moving. Whether it is about moving forward physically or emotionally, that's the connecting thread.Finish the trip up on "Riding with the King" by B.B. King and Eric Clapton.
