Just another modern city.
I do not have much impression on Frankfurt, as it's just too developed as a modern city. There are many high building and skyscrapers. For me I didn't find much culture value over there. But one good point is that we came during Christmas season, so the Christmas markets there provided delicious food!
Insider Tip:Frankfurt is not worth a long stay though! Wandering around the city if you are transiting there for a few hours sounds nicer than a long stay.

text: Well last night I got a phone call from one of my friends saying that he had a race for me. A 68 Camaro 454, th400, 4.10 gear. He told me where the guy lived and that he was at his house so after my g/f gets home from work we ride over there. They hang around a little while and we drive about 20 minutes to a pos place to race but I went with it. Uphill, with a curve in it. 3 lane road. So we line up, they watched for us to even out, and then another guy drops his arms. And we take off, we're side by side at first, both of us spinning so I let out to about half throttle so I wont' spin so hard and I start to pass him pretty fast, I hit 2nd and remain sideways but ahead, I hit 3rd and about that time im in the curve pedaling it still to keep from dieing and then when I round on out I open it back up and then I had traction, so I ran on until I was balls deep in 4th I had probably a bus and a half by 120 and then I shut down. Not the most entertaining story but I had fun. :drive:

I love this product. My hair is thick, straight, and tends to get dried out easily. This product is great at moisturizing and softening it so that it doesn't tangle, but without weighing it down or making it look greasy. It works both as a leave-in (letting it soak in for 10 minutes before rinsing) and as a traditional rinse-and-go conditioner. The bottle is large enough that it lasted me (with medium-length hair) about 5 months, with near-daily use. Will definitely be repurchasing.

Good reconstuctor to use before a deep conditioning. I do prefer the Giovanni Smooth as Silk XTREME DEEP conditioning treatment better b/c it seems to do both in one step. It has a small amount of protein and moisturizes way better than this. This I could live without even though I think that it does a great job if your hair is in need of true reconstructing. I just prefer the easier way out by using the smooth as silk xtreme b/c it is ok for daily use also. This one i would say is not to be used too often b/c of protein overload. Anyone who is dissapointed with this, try the xtreme and see what you think!

I just used this product for the first time and I already love it! I didn't realize how concentrated it would be, so next time I'll remember to use less. I put a towel turbin on my head and left it in for about 1/2 hr. After I rinsed, my wet hair was glistening! I'm going on vacation next week, and will be taking this along to use after being in the pool/sun. It has a nice 'salon' smell, but nothing too strong. Can't beat the price either!

this is not a deep conditioner or "hair reconstrutor". i left the product on my hair for about 10 minutes after shampooing, per instructions. when i rinsed my hair did not have a conditioned feel to it, and i noticed dryness when i was blowdrying and ironing and for the few days following it looked dull. i usually use rich conditioners and masks for my bleached hair, and after using this my hair looked like i had downgraded to a light conditioner for normal hair. i will finish it as a basic conditioner BEFORE i apply a mask, but this in no way lives up to its claims. will not re-buy.

Looking at the ingredient list, I thought this would be a fantastic treatment for my hair. In theory, it should be, but it just didn't work for me. The consistency is nice and thick, and it smells fresh, but that's about all it does. I use it like all my other treatments, put it on, then put a shower cap over my hair and let it sit. It doesn't do anything bad to my hair... in fact it doesn't really do anything at all. It gives me the effect of any run-of-the-mill light conditioner. That'd be fine, if that's what I was looking for.

A really good moisturising hair mask. The tube lasted me about seven months, and I will definitely repurchase.
I was excited to try this after reading all of the great reviews from here and vitacost. My fine, shoulder length, layered hair has been feeling fried lately, probably from the heat iron & also from all of the commercial garbage I had been using. Since the ingredient list sounded impressive (natural, organic and lots of essential oils), I ordered some from vitacost. The conditoner comes in a tube and smells fresh. Not like citrus and it doesn't have the essential oil scents of lavender or peppermint like a lot of natural products have, yet I can't quite pin-point what it smells like. At any rate, my first clue that I wouldn't like it was when I saw how thick and waxy the texture was. The first few times I used it I used way too much and it didn't wash out, so now I use a tiny pea sized amount, rub it through my hands and then distribute it through my hair. It works better this way, but doesn't really seem to penetrate or condition very well. Overall, I don't like it that much and would probably not buy again.

Eh. I was excited about this product, but with my dark, coarse, dry curly hair that tends toward brittle, I've tried TONS of this type of treatment over the years, and this was really nothing special - it's thick and creamy and rich, but if I just use Bumble and Bumble's super rich conditioner, I don't even need this. I also prefer butter treat or other products over this one. Nothing great, really.
This isn't moisturizing enough for my thick, wavy hair. Every time that I've used this my hair's frizzier and drier. It's not AWFUL but I'll stick to L'oreal nature's therapy
EDIT: I'm upping this to 3, as I gave it another go yesterday and it did provide my hair with moisture. I guess I prefer nature's therapy because of the silicones (aka shinier hair).

State Assemblywoman Barbara Lifton Supporting of a Package of Gun Measures
Saturday, January 5, 2013
State Assemblywoman Barbara Lifton is supporting of a package of gun measures that she thinks the Legislature should enact into law at the start of the new legislative session next week.
The package includes a ban on semi-automatic weapons, such as the Bushmaster .223 caliber rifle that was used at both the Webster, New York shooting that killed two firefighters and the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, CT.
Lifton says despite a state ban on assault weapons enacted in 2000, gun manufacturers found loopholes in the law and have worked their way around it.
Lifton says she supports the second amendment and those that own guns for hunting and sport shooting but there is no legitimate reason for anyone to possess assault weapons.
The package of legislation would broaden the definition of an assault weapon, require universal background checks,ban possession and sale of all high capacity ammunition magazines, and require all semi-automatic handguns sold in New York to be equipped with a unique code that is stamped onto each shell casing every time the gun fires.
The proposal also includes a 5-year renewal requirement for handgun licenses, record keeping requirements for gun dealers, mandatory background checks on all ammunition sales, and limiting the handgun buyers to one weapon purchase per month.

While the debate rages on as to whether cars can truly qualify as works of art, BMW long ago neatly side-stepped the conversation by having renowned artists use their cars as blank canvases. It was a genial move on the company's behalf, although they have French racer herve Poulain to thank for kicking things off in 1975 when he told his friend Alexander Calder to go, ahem, go to work on a 3.0 CSL, the looks of which were already quite spectacular.
On through the years did the BMW Art Cars project continue, with luminaries such as Warhol, Rauschenberg, Stella, Lichtenstein and, most recently, Koons all getting a stab at creating the fastest art you've ever seen. It's only appropriate that we should all salute the vision and quality of such an enterprise. And ask for more.
Well, BMW didn't stay stuck in the artiste studio. They moved on and commissioned a series that still rouses us a decade later: The Hire. A handful of famous directors made eight films for the internet featuring a fresh and credible Clive Owen as the Driver, and a selection of BMW models doing what they do best: driving.
So, what's all this got to do with some BMW M5 getting shot out of a barrel and into an apple, three water-balloons and a target? Well, this marks the latest "art" ad from BMW – their Canada branch to be specific. And instead of pure art or film-derived art, we are now being presented with high performance art.
Thanks to a large salt lake backdrop, lots of CGI assistance, some delightful slow-mo and the all-new, toe-curling BMW M5, we've been advised the bar has been lifted even higher. Except, well, has it really?
Sure, the concept is great fun, the imagery entertaining and watching the M5 become the automotive equivalent of a turbo-charged arrow/bullet is so very primal. But is this a case of aiming too high and missing? Surely when you really want to engage folk you need to dispense with the assistance and the gimmicks and focus on the drive.
Maybe that's why we started you off with the High Performance Art ad but ended with a tale that hits all the buttons without every pulling a punch, or resorting to a little digital trickery. It's: The Hire – Star.
And watching Madonna wet her pants (with coffee, bien sur) after an M5 goes absolutely wild is everything we could ever want from BMW. From any BMW.
BMW "High Performance Art" ad reminds us of how an M5 should be used
BMW Canada release a high performance art ad of the new M5 that amuses us, for a while. Before we remember what an M5 should really do: get Madonna to wet her pants.

Straight-Six had a proper job as a journalist for Dow Jones before lowering himself gently into the warm, forgiving waters of The Guide. He's our resident fanatic: he relished detailing his BMW M3 for two full days at a time before crashing it at Eau Rouge in the wet; he spends insane amounts on his home-cinema system and has thrown tens of thousands of euros at vintage Rolex sports watches. The little fool simply does not understand the concept of restraint or the meaning of excess. He also – following a legendary "heavy" lunch – once nibbled (yes, like little dogs do) a dear lady friend of ours.

1. Costco – Their markup is capped at 15%. Great place to save when buying in bulk. They force sellers to lower their prices to be in their store. Because their business model is consumer-centric, we win. The $55 or $110 membership card more than pays for itself.
2. Chipotle – You can get a quick, somewhat healthy meal, packed with protein for under $7.
3. Amazon.com – Their prices have gone up a little bit as of Summer of 2014 but I love shopping online because I save gas and time. Amazon has almost everything you need.
4. Ebay.com – Ebay is a great place to buy odd-ball stuff and sometimes to even buy in bulk. I used to buy gift cards on Ebay but now their prices are higher than GiftCardRescue.com
5. Walmart.com – Buying through Walmart.com will save you money vs. buying in the store. It's common to find products that are 10-15% cheaper than at store. You can get free shipping for orders over $50 or you can simply select to ship to store and pick up from a nearby store for free.

Match Preview
Commons: We must always be at our best Celtic winger Kris Commons has warned that having a strong squad and being title favourites will mean nothing if the players do not perform to their peak in every game. Shaun Maloney is set to return to a nearly-full squad following a four-month lay-off as Neil Lennon`s men look to extend their two-point lead over Rangers in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League when they host St Mirren on Saturday. Glenn Loovens is also fit despite coming off against Hibernian in midweek with a tight hamstring. The Hoops will still be without Daniel Majstorovic (toe) while Daryl Murphy (groin) is a doubt and Andreas Hinkel (knee) is not ready to return. Celtic are odds-on favourites to regain the SPL trophy with every leading bookmaker given the relative strengths of the Old Firm playing pools. Rangers did not have enough fit players to fill their bench for last weekend`s home defeat by Dundee United while the likes of Paddy McCourt and Niall McGinn could not find a place among the substitutes as Celtic beat Hibs 3-1 on Wednesday. Celtic`s first-half display was among their most impressive of the season as they bounced back from their 2-1 defeat by Rangers in the Co-operative Insurance Cup final. And that loss showed Commons they need to work hard to meet high expectations. The Scotland winger said: "I think on our day we`re a good outfit but there have certainly been performances this year that have warranted the gaffer giving us a roasting, the Motherwell game comes to mind. "It`s important we keep our levels high and keep ticking over, especially at this stage of the season. "Our main goal is the league and a lot of players didn`t turn up at the cup final, so that kind of kicks you up the backside to get your mind in gear. "That`s the type of motivation we perhaps needed to seal the deal in the championship, that it`s not all going to be rosy. "We went into the cup final as favourites and came out pretty much battered and bruised and beaten." Commons made way for James Forrest in the starting line-up against Hibs after failing to match his impressive displays since moving from Derby in January against Rangers at Hampden. And he knows there are other players waiting to come in for anyone who fails to perform. "I was a little disappointed not to be involved but we have got a big squad, a good squad, and players are coming back from injury," Commons said. "With a lot of games coming up hopefully it was more of a resting rather than a performance thing." Assistant manager Johan Mjallby is optimistic that the improving condition of their squad can help them reach their peak in the run-in. "That`s the dream scenario and I hope so," the Swede said. "It`s a luxury that way, even if it`s a big player for us, if we see someone is tired and not really, really performing, we have a good chance to change things and you know you have a good player knocking on the door. "This competition is going to be good for us in the run-in because if you don`t perform, someone else is going to be knocking on the door." When asked if plans were being made to add to that competition for next season, Mjallby said, half-jokingly, "I don`t know, I don`t know if we will be here. "Of course, it`s important we bring in the right people because we probably don`t have the same money as we had when I was a player, so you need to be a bit more clever when it comes to new signings. "I think this is a very good squad but when you are in this job working in management you always want to get even better players coming in and you need to strengthen the squad, especially if you look towards Europe. "This is a very good crop of players but you always want more." When pressed on his comment, Mjallby admitted he did not expect talks over the contracts of himself and Lennon before the end of the season. "We are in the same situation we were in at the start of the season," he said. "Nothing has really changed. We are trying to win the league and right now we are in pole position. "I think it`s more important to focus on the team, the players and the game itself." St Mirren defender Lee Mair is in contention for the contest at Celtic Park. Mair had to pull out of the midweek win over Aberdeen moments before kick-off with a minor strain but has recovered. Paul McGowan will miss the game under the terms of his loan agreement.

Match Report
Super sub earns Hoops victory Celtic extended their lead at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League to five points thanks to a second-half strike from Kris Commons in a 1-0 win over St Mirren. Commons came off the bench to secure the victory against St Mirren after the Hoops had largely served up a drab affair at Parkhead. Title rivals Rangers will be seeking to reduce the deficit again when they travel to Hamilton on Sunday. Celtic made three changes from their midweek win over Hibernian as Cha Du-ri, Freddie Ljungberg and Ki Sung-yueng all started at Parkhead, with Mark Wilson and Joe Ledley named on the bench and skipper Scott Brown absent from the squad. Brown, Wilson and Georgios Samaras were all one booking away from suspensions which would rule them out of the final Old Firm game of the season, perhaps explaining their omission against Saints. Despite an impressive midweek win over Aberdeen, Buddies boss Danny Lennon rang the changes by adding Kenny McLean, Lee Mair, Jim Goodwin, Marc McAusland and Paddy Cregg to the side. Paul McGowan was ineligible under the terms of his loan agreement and Craig Dargo was injured, while David van Zanten, Aaron Mooy and Jure Travner were named among the substitutes. St Mirren had the chance to apply some early pressure when they won a free-kick just outside the box but Michael Higdon's effort failed to make it past the Celtic wall, before the ball broke for McLean who blasted wide. At the other end, Gary Hooper pounced on a James Forrest cross only to see his close-range shot blocked by goalkeeper Paul Gallacher but the offside flag was raised in any case. Real chances had been few and far between but Celtic were threatening when Cha provided a dangerous cross from the right flank that was met by Anthony Stokes, who saw his header flash inches wide of the target. Hooper netted a double in midweek but had failed to make a similar impact against St Mirren and he was replaced at the interval by Shaun Maloney, who made his long-awaited comeback after four months on the sidelines with an ankle injury. Celtic were out of the traps quickly after the restart and Stokes could have opened the scoring with a drive from the tightest of angles that Gallacher did well to block at the near post, before Maloney fired a tame shot wide. The home side continued to struggle in their attempts to break down their stubborn visitors and made a second change with an hour gone when Ki was withdrawn for Ledley. Commons was thrown into the action in place of Ljungberg with 20 minutes to go and his introduction had the desired effect for Celtic. Maloney was the provider with the pass that was collected by Commons 12 yards out before he lashed past the grasp of Gallacher with 79 minutes on the clock. Saints could have snatched a late leveller but John Potter fired wide in the final minute with their best chance of the game.

End the US Blockade of Cuba and Military Occupation of Guantanamo Bay! An Interview with Manolo De Los Santos
by BAR editor and columnist, Dr. Marsha Coleman-Adebayo
The move towards normalization of U.S.-Cuba relations is a victory of the Cuban people, but also presents great challenges. In a recent visit to the island, the author spoke with a former resident of The Bronx, now studying liberation theology in Cuba. One thing that will not change, he said, is Cuba's historical commitment to Black people. For example, "Cuba has educated more Blacks from Honduras than were educated in their own country."
What is the Real Reason Behind Obama's New Cuba Policy?
by Pascal Robert
There's nothing "enlightened" about President Obama shift in policy on Cuba. Growing U.S. isolation from Latin America has opened opportunities for Washington's global rivals. Russia has proposed a raft of agreements with Cuba and other Latin countries, and "China has now strongly entered the Latin nations with its plan to build a canal through Nicaragua to rival the Panama Canal."
Freedom Rider: Cuba in the American Imagination
by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley
The imperial mentality is not limited to the right wing of the American political spectrum. Some purported leftists greeted the opening to Cuba as if recognition by the U.S. was the greatest thing that ever happened to the island nation. The Cubans don't see it that way, although they wanted the deal. "President Raul Castro stated in no uncertain terms that Cuba will remain socialist and will not extradite Assata Shakur or anyone else granted asylum by the government."
Cuba - An African Odyssey, Parts 1 and 2
A Cuban Odyssey: Cuba's key role in the struggle for African Liberation
An indispensable film by by Jihan El-Tahri.
From its beginnings, the Cuban Revolution has been the indispensable ally of liberation forces on the African continent.
This is part of the history that most Africans, and certainly every Cuban knows, but which few of us in the US, even activists and scholars are aware. It's also key to understanding the implacable hostility of the US to the Cuban Revolution.
Obama's Cynical, Stilted Response to Ebola vs. Cuba's Magnificent Mobilization
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
President Obama initially offered Ebola-afflicted West Africa "a paltry $22 million to set up a 25-bed field hospital in Liberia at a time when literally thousands of beds – and health care professionals – were needed if there was to be any hope of containment." Cuba, on the other hand, "fielded the single biggest medical force on the Ebola frontline...totally showing up the United States."
Freedom Rider: Theodore Roosevelt and American Racism
By BAR Editor and Senior Columnist Margaret Kimberley
As a settler state built with stolen labor on stolen land, the US has found it necessary to invent a fake history sanitizing and justifying its genocidal wars of conquest and empire. The currently airing PBS series Roosevelts: an Intimate History fulfills this need by mostly ignoring Teddy Roosevelt's venal and vicious racism and the pervasive criminality of his family and class.

Obama and ISIS in Dance of Death
The growing U.S. bombing campaign against the self-proclaimed Islamic caliphate in Iraq and Syria serves no one but war profiteers, said veteran anti-war activist David Swanson. "I know that ISIS had to be aware that slitting throats on camera would result in more bombing, just as President Obama had to be aware that blowing men, women and children up with 500-pound bombs would result in slitting throats," said Swanson, publisher of the influential web site WarIsACrime.Org. "The beneficiaries of escalation, which is entirely predictable, are the weapons makers."
Black Strategies Must Include Self-Defense
"First and foremost, it is right for our people to rebel," said Kali Akuno, an organizer with the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement and co-author of the groundbreaking report "Operation Ghetto Storm," which documented extrajudicial killings of Black Americans under color of law. "I think it boiled over in Ferguson as a result of a transformation in our people's consciousness, especially our young folks," said Akuno. "They've had enough of the brutality, of being systematically excluded." Black community self-defense must be part of any organizing strategy. "This has been part and parcel of what we know we have to do in the face of white supremacy and in the face of the brutality that the capitalist system has reserved for us, in particular."
Black Passivity is Mentally Unhealthy
Political protest is therapeutic for Black Americans, said Dr. Vernellia Randall, professor emeritus of law at the University of Dayton and author Dying While Black. "I want us to be less passive, I want us to engage in civil disobedience" – and not the kind of protest-like activities sanctioned by the authorities. "If they're telling us, Here's how you can protest, then that, to me, is not civil disobedience," said Randall. "If you are coloring within the lines that the establishment establishes, then you are putting no pressure on the establishment."
Cuba Should Join in Fight for Slavery Reparations
The young United States was a horrible example of democracy, but it did lead the way in the business of human trafficking. "After the establishment of the United States, it quickly became the leader in the African slave trade to Cuba," said Dr. Gerald Horne, professor of history and African American Studies at the University of Houston and author of Race to Revolution: The United States and Cuba During Slavery and Jim Crow. "They also became the leader of the African slave trade to Brazil, helping to account for the fact that Brazil has more people of African descent than any other nation outside Nigeria," said Horne, who hopes to enlist Cuba in "our journey to claim reparations for the enslavement of Africans in the Americas."

Evacuate Guantanamo – It Belongs to Cuba
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford

Score at United Nations: Cuba 188 – U.S. 3

A Few Things Americans Can Learn from Cuba
by Solomon Comissiong
Americans could learn a lot if they would just look and listen to the world around them, a place where lots of peoples and nations are smarter, kinder and happier than we are. Cuba is making great progress towards its goal to become a "medical superpower," while in the U.S. "African/black political prisoners continue to languish in solitary confinement in the bowels of the world's most despicable prison system."
Med School Classes Cancelled in Havana
by Don Fitz
Fidel Castro long ago vowed to make Cuba a "medical superpower." The country's healthcare system emphasizes preventive medicine and mobilization of the entire population against threats to health and safety. Medicine is more than a career. Imagine that, at the height of the Katrina disaster, the US closed medical schools in Gulf coast states and coordinated their work of attending to medical and public health needs of the poorest in New Orleans."
Posada Verdict: Like Charging Hitler With Disturbing the Peace, and Then Acquitting Him
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford
There was certainly no justice in an El Paso jury's acquittal of the terrorist Luis Posada Carriles – but then, a just outcome was impossible. The bomber of a Cuban airline, drug runner for the CIA and the Contras, and attempted assassin of Fidel Castro, was charged only with telling lies to U.S. immigration authorities. It was an insult to Posada's victims to try him at all on such insignificant counts – a sick joke that showed the U.S. has no respect for the opinions of mankind.

March 23: Anniversary of the Beginning of Apartheid's End: The Battle of Cuito Cuanavale
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Bruce Dixon
Apartheid South Africa responded to Angola's 1974 independence from the Portuguese with a US-backed military invasion. Declaring that "the blood of Africa" flowed through Cuban veins, Fidel Castro dispatched the Cuban armed forces to confront the armies of racist South Africa in Angola. Between 1974 and 1988 more than 1100 Cubans laid down their lives in Africa to hasten the end of apartheid. This week is the anniversary of the historic battle of Cuito Cuanavale, in which Cuban, Angolan and Namibian forces routed the supposedly invincible land and air forces of white-ruled South Africa, eventually making possible the release of Nelson Mandela from prison, and the end of apartheid in South Africa itself, and earning for Cuba the lasting enmity of the United States. If we in the U.S. were serious about racial reconciliation, we too would celebrate the March 23 anniversary of Cuito Cuanavale.

The Latin American Revolution, Part 3 of 4: Cuba, Nicaragua, El Salvador -- Shaking Off The U.S. Empire
The US waged bloody wars in the 1970s and 80s to confine Nicaragua and El Salvador to its colonial "back yard." Although the victories of popular revolutions were partially rolled back, new governments with deep ties to popular forces have allied themselves with Cuba, which extricated itself from US empire half a century ago. In the third installment of this series by the producers of the groundbreaking "Ravaging of Africa" Asad Ismi and Kristin Schwartz bring us voices from Cuba and Central America as they endeavor to build new relationships that will enable them to prosper despite the unremitting hostility of the US to their aspirations.

Cuba's Fight Against Racism in Health Care
by Don Fitz
The best evidence for the Cuban revolution's strides in dismantling institutional racism is found in medical data, which show both Black and white Cubans living as long and at least as healthily as the average American. Cuba's health care system recognizes that social inequities lead to bad health outcomes. "Since poverty creates bad health, the Cuban health system is intertwined with reducing differences in housing, income and education."

Insanity: Cuban Exile Proposes That U.S. Negotiate on Behalf of Cuban Blacks
Cuban exile Carlos Moore has convinced a number of African American luminaries that the U.S. government should negotiate with Cuba over the status and treatment of the island nation's Black population, as part of talks to normalize relations between the two nations. It is, therefore, only fair that Cuba be empowered to negotiate with Washington on behalf of Blacks in the United States, says Glen Ford (Video courtesy of www.WBAIX.org, Don DeBar
Amiri Baraka on Carlos Moore: Five Decades in the Garbage Can of History
Poet, activist and esteemed elder Amiri Baraka was one of those who showed up in Harlem last month to greet a delegation of Cuban visitors. He took the occasion to express profound reservations about the letter and petition circulated by Carlos Moore and signed by a number of prominent American blacks who, given Moore's fifty year career as an anti-Cuba stooge, really should have known better.

Ashaki Binta on Charges of Racism in Cuba
The record of Cuba since that country's 1959 reolution on race and racism, both at home and on the world stage is one the US should envy, not deprecate, says Ashaki Binta of the Black Left Unity Coalition. It was Cuban intervention that played a major role in ending the apartheid regime in South Africa. Cuba, with about the population of Illinois, has more doctors on the ground providing care in Haiti than the U.S. Cuban blacks live longer than American blacks and have better health indicators all around. When it comes to denunciations of other countries for supposed racism, Uncle Sam is in a poor position to point out anybody's faults.

A Small Civil Affair by Jason Magbanua
Hi, I'm Jason. I got married last June 28, 2001 to my best friend Pang. For a guy who shoots wedding videos I thought I knew a lot about the event. I found out otherwise. Very few experiences in life can be fun, irritating, ecstatic, exhausting, happy, tense, exciting, festive, time-consuming, nerve-wracking, bankbook-draining, and tummy-filling all at the same time.
The Storm Before the Calm
Inexplicably, relationships take a turn for the worse, weeks before the big day. We got on each other's nerves more often than usual. Little things that you would normally let pass become "issues". The operative word is "IRRITATE". I personally think that men handle these times more coolly than women. After all, all we have to say is "yes, honey (whatever you say)." Unfortunately, this cool and easy-going manner is easily mistaken as "non-involvement" and "apathy". But boys will be boys and it is quite difficult to feign interest over the subtle differences of baby and powder blue.
Soon, the excitement and anticipation over the event turns into general malaise and a "let's get this over" attitude (only because you couldn't decide between carrot or butterscotch). Ours was a small civil affair held at the Manila City Hall. I do admit that it's considerably less grueling to execute than a church wedding. Not that I've married before, but I've heard countless of brides disclosing their woes and worries. BUT, I must emphasize, it was neither a walk in the park as I expected it to be.
Gold Rush
For some strange reason, despite the bickering and never-ending arguments about the planning, the preparation all boiled down to one day, June 27. I'd like to see you beat that.
First, we set out to get the most essential part of the event, the rings of course. I knew next to nothing about them nor any other piece of jewelry for that matter. The only other time I recall wearing a ring was in college, a skull with wings number courtesy of Tony Perez. Ahh, if I could only convince Pang to get two at Silverworks. Looking at my wedding band now, I'm thankful we didn't.
It was my first time to set foot in Ongpin, with my bride and a friend who knows gold and the area. We went to a store she was a "suki" in and checked out the merchandise. I've never seen so much gold in all it's shapes and sizes! I felt like I was in a P Diddy video.
Now I am not a rich man, but if there was anything I was going to spend on, it was going to be the rings. Armed with a hefty sum of cash culled from a hectic May-June wedding shoot sked, we sought out to pick the pair of our choice. After much deliberation we eventually found three rings to our liking. The third ring, an engagement ring was part of the set. And with a little hardball bargaining we got all three. I was happy with the rings and my bride got an engagement rock to boot. Talk about having your cake and eating it too! Yum.
Feed the Hungry
From Ongpin, we went straight to SM Manila, the logical choice for the reception. Pang and I kidded about reserving seats in a fastfood joint like McDonald's or Wendy's to cut cost. Then we found ourselves walking in a restaurant specializing in Filipino dishes. They had this great buffet menu for a reasonable amount but the clincher was that it was eat all you can! We reserved seats for twenty people and paid the fee. The total transaction time was fifteen minutes.
No wedding is complete without the cake. And even if Pang said it was okay not to have one, I insisted. We checked out the designs in Red Ribbon (nope, there was no Cake Concepts branch in SM Manila). We really wanted a small fondant cake so it would look more "wedding-y". But they couldn't do it in twenty-four hours, too bad, so we settled for an icing filled-cake which absolutely looked cute in the picture. Again, IN THE PICTURE. (more on this later)
Look the Part
By this time, I was a bit tired from all the walking around but more things had to be done. It was time to look for a dress for her and a shirt for me. Early on, I originally intended to simply wear something decent from my closet. I specifically remember saying it his way over the phone, "Ako ng bahala, kahit ano na lang." However this "don't-worry-about-it" mindset was mistakenly interpreted as "You-don't-care-about-what-you're-going-to-wear-means you-don't-value-our-wedding-day-as-much-as-I-do" attitude. Needless to say, a fight and a broken window ensued.
I learned my lesson, so there I was happily picking a shirt in Glorietta. It was quick and painless, a simple white polo did the trick. But I couldn't say the same for Pang. After going out for two years I should have been prepared. But men never get used to these things. It was just one silly dress. One. My feet were aching, I was hungry and exhausted but we still had to scour all the shops in the mall so she could pick the one. I would have gladly just stayed at Figaro for coffee while she shopped. But of course doing so would mean I wasn't enthusiastic about the event again. And so to avoid any arguments the eve of the big day, I plastered a look of genuine interest and concern over the dresses she tried on, playing the pseudo-fashion consultant until she was able to pick the one she wanted.
Thereafter, we met our respective families for a nice evening of dinner and talk. We proudly showed off our wares and talked about the adventures of the day. The great thing about that dinner was that everybody was getting along with everybody else. There was absolutely none of the usual "in-laws" troubles. And it wasn't just between me and her parents or the other way around. My mom and her mom hit it off like long time "kumares".
The day ended, we were tired yet happy.
The Jitters
I couldn't sleep that night. I thought I was going to hit the bed like a sack of kamote but I didn't. I was excited and anxious. It was the last night of my bachelorhood. Questions popped up like thought balloons in comics. Will I be a good husband? Will I screw it up? Will we cut it? How will I provide? Most importantly, who'll wash the dishes?
But all the apprehensions about marrying were wiped away when I simply thought I was marrying Pang, the one person who knows me inside and out, the good the bad and the ugly, the one person who was with me constantly in failure and triumph, the one person with whom I feel most loved.
And the thought comforted me to sleep.
All Roads Lead to Manila City Hall
The morning of June 28 was a comedy of errors. The ceremony was set at ten in the morning so I woke up early to get a haircut. I planned to look dashingly handsome that day. My bride deserved nothing less. My tiny condo unit bustled with activity. Everybody was excited. Too excited I suppose because in a very rare instance, my mother, with a flat iron, burned the pair of pants I was supposed to wear. I wasn't at all affected by the incident, I simply pulled out another pair and off we went (only later did I realize that blue pants and a white polo was a bad combination, they said I looked like a high school kid cutting class).
By NOT getting run over by a speeding train (our able driver got us smack in the middle of a railroad track in a full stop), we were able to get to the City Hall in one piece.
The place was a circus, literally. There was a brass band honking out their version of Hawaii Five-O while majorettes were busy twirling away. There was a dizzying crowd situated at the quadrangle of the city hall. Right at the center was the reason for all the commotion, Manny Pacquiao!, basking in his two minute's worth of glory from his recently won title fight.
Thinking about my wedding day, and the countless wedding days I've shot, I realized that no matter how you plan every minute detail of the event, something always comes up unexpected, be it rain, a bad sound system or a roaring brass band. It's all a matter of taking everything tongue in cheek.
Is this Guy for Real
We found our way to the attorney's small office which had a breathtaking view of Manila's traffic. And just like the recollections of the couples I've shot in the past, the proceedings were a blur. The only distinct memory I have is holding Pang's hand, staring at her eyes and saying I do.
Romantic eh? But that's not what really happened. Actually, we were trying hard not to laugh because the attorney\reverend was spewing out his words in a monotonous drawl much like Kuya Cesar. I bit my tongue so hard and I could see Pang just looking straight down. The witnesses around us also had this sly smile on their faces. It was a riot!
Feed the Hungry (part 2)
Amid the din of the chanting horde we trooped our way to SM Manila. And yes, we fed the hungry to their stomach's delight. Contrary to the norm when brides and grooms fail to even taste the reception food which they paid for, we gorged ourselves with all the pusit, hito, mangga't bagoong, halo-halo, shrimp, and liempo (in no particular order), that our tummys' could accommodate. The lunch was festive and pleasurable. Everybody was enjoying each other's company. The wedding was not merely the union of two people but the merging of two families.
We capped the afternoon with a cake-cutting ceremony. Unfortunately, the cake was a minor disappointment (I told you it looked good in the picture). The "cake" was actually a mass of overly saccharine icing topped with a bride- groom figurine made of plaster. Worse, the figurine resembled deformed blobs with splotches of color more than us. At least the chocolate interior was edible. Everybody went on their own way while I and my new wife spent the rest of the afternoon doing what we like best, malling! We ended up buying an oven toaster for ourselves and a nifty pair of Italian shoes for moi (I spent so much on everything, I just had to buy something for myself, it's an illness!).
At the End of the Day
There we were, lying on the bed . . . talking. Regaling ourselves with the day's events, recalling how it was in the past, how we were starting out, musing how we would become, what lies ahead. Finally, it was over. The tension and anxiety dissipated. Everything turned out alright.
For all the troubles we went through preparing for this wedding, it all boils down to the warm hugs and the sweet kisses, to the endless conversations about anything and everything, to the tampuhans and suyuans, being together for the rest of our lives as husband and wife. And of course, the sex doesn't hurt either.
I'm gonna be a dad this October! Pang and I are very excited. We're going to name the baby Alaric Jakob. Tell you all about it when the big day comes.
Postscript 2
We married June and will be having a baby October, save yourself some trouble and don't do the math. All things happen for a reason. 'Nuff said.
= = = = = About the couple: Jason Magbanua is a wedding videographer who after attending so many of his clients wedding, decided to jump in the bandwagon himself. Jason is now officially out of the 'bachelors' market' effective June 28, 2001 when he married Pang.

I am aware of the ones that went bad, but most of them were due to poor communication on both parts. |

But here's to hoping you two can resolve this soon, as seems to me, there are some good options on the table, now. |

Mercury, that's just not how it's done. Send the controller back. For all he knows, you could have swapped TX's or taken parts out. And your insistence on getting paid first makes it seem that much more likely.
You want protection? That's why you don't use paypal gift for goods. If you hadn't you would have had your protection. You screwed yourself out of protection, and now insist the seller provides it for you after the fact. While you consider it a fair solution, it just makes you look really sketchy to anyone who's done a good deal of internet transactions. |

I didn't see who made the decision/request to pay as gift and I think that factors into who needs to man up...
If Forrest Gump (the seller) requested he pay as gift then he needs to suck it up and agree to Mercury's (the buyers) return terms of doing a goods transaction via paypal. If Mercury (the buyer) sent as gift without being asked then he needs to suck it up and return it before getting a refund as Forest Gump (seller) requested. |
Jan 10, 2013, 02:11 PM | |
I feel that Forest GUMP should but the radio back using PayPal. DO NOT send payment as a gift. THen mercurypro can send the transmitter back. Next When FG receives the Transmitter he can just check it out and make sur MP didnt minipulate at all. This solves all issues. I am going to PM this to both of you guys. I hate seeing people in this hobby fight.

If he would have said he would send it back and wait for a refund i would respect him more, but as it stands he has buyer remorse and wants it his way. Seeing the way he is dealing with this, I dont think I'd buy from him if the chance came up.
Just my honest opinion though. Garrett |

Very first sticky in this forum is advising against paypal gift.
He gave up his protection. His resolution is that you give up yours. If you decide to do what he requests, be sure you'll have grounds for a "not as described" complaint through paypal if the tx is damaged or tampered with. I don't like that he "cleaned up" something he intended to return. Add all the other details, and I'd stand my ground here and insist he return the tx first for a refund. You didn't screw him. From the sounds of things, you did what you should have and he screwed himself here. |
Jan 10, 2013, 02:28 PM | ||
You sent paypal gift, and sacrificed any leg you had to stand on. By making further abnormal demands to rectify your mistake, you look sketchy. And by showing such obstinacy and defiance about it, your attitude has turned people off. Send the TX back. You've already done everything else the wrong way, do this one the right way. For the record "take it into my own hands" infers going outside legal channels and IS a threat in every legal sense. So not only do you not have a leg to stand on, OP has your number and address and could easily have the local PD come pick up the TX and pay you a visit. No way for a 50+ year old to behave. Lucky for you the OP is even communicating with you after that one. I would've told you to shove off. |

Newham aims to make every child a musician
24 March 2010
The London Borough of Newham is to provide two years' free music lessons and an instrument for all pupils entering Year 5 in September 2010. The scheme, called 'Every Child a Musician', will initially reach nearly 4,000 pupils from 67 schools in Newham. Unusually, they will be allowed to keep their instruments at the end of the two-year period. Newham, where two-thirds of the London Olympics and Paralympics will take place, is also the only London borough to be piloting free school meals for all primary school pupils, in order to encourage youngsters to eat more healthily. It is investing £1.5m to launch 'Every Child a Musician', which will include teaching the children to read music and to play an instrument. Up to now, Newham parents have had to pay part of the cost of their children's instrumental lessons, currently priced at £42 per term for a half-hour lesson in a group of three or four. Instruments can be hired for £12 per term.
The new scheme is about opening access to music and breaking down barriers, something young people from more affluent backgrounds take for granted, said Sir Robin Wales, Mayor of Newham. 'Music should be about access for all, not just those who can afford it. It has the power to enrich, uplift and even transform people's lives. However, for children from poorer backgrounds, this can be impossible. For many nationally the price of instruments and tuition is prohibitive and provision in schools can be limited and patchy. That is not the case in Newham.
'For centuries London's East End has been one of the poorest areas in Europe,' Sir Robin added. 'We all have to get more real about balancing east and west London and offering our residents the same opportunities as anywhere else in the capital. Nothing less will do. We are using the excitement of the Olympic games to boost the aspirations of young people locally. This scheme has been inspired by the Simon Bolivar Orchestra who set the Royal Albert Hall alight during the BBC Proms a few years ago.'
Every Child a Musician is supported by cellist Julian Lloyd Webber, the government's participation director Richard Hallam, and Tony Hall, chief executive of the Royal Opera House and chair of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad Board. 'We would love to have some Newham pupils from this scheme go on to perform on the stages of the biggest abnnd best concert halls one day. All pupils from whatever background deserve the same success. Talent is all - but it needs to be nurtured and developed.'
Brass quintet serenades RWCMD construction workers
24 March 2010
Royal Welsh College brass band quintet Castle Brass are the first performers to play in what will be the college's new Concert Hall. The quirky lunchtime concert entertained Willmott Dixon builders while they worked to ensure the building is completed for early 2011.
'Being the first ensemble to play on the Royal Welsh College's new concert hall stage was a privilege for us as a brass quintet,' said band member Gareth Robinson. 'Castle Brass has been together for 18 months and this has been one of our most exciting gigs yet. Playing in front of a group of builders in the outdoors was a very different but enjoyable experience for us too! We were proud to represent the college by performing at this new venue and hope we get the chance to do so again soon.' Fellow Castle Brass player Sion Tansley added, 'It was great to play at the heart of the building and even at this early stage we can imagine what it will be like to perform there when it's finished.'
'It was fantastic for the construction team on site to have a taste of the work that goes on within the college and we all enjoyed the performance,' said Alan Pitman, Operations Manager for Willmott Dixon. 'Work has been developing well on site and we have already made significant progress on the concert hall. The groundwork is finished and we have completed the exterior drum of the concert hall and theatre. We are now progressing with internal works where the acting and movement studios will be located.'
The new facilities, which will also include four Acting and Movement Studios, the 160-seat Courtyard Theatre and an exhibition gallery, as well as the 450-seat Concert Hall, will open in January 2011.
Stepping into Music early years training programme is recruiting now
5 March 2010
Stepping into Music (SiM), the Dalcroze Society's early years workshop and training programme, is accepting applications for a new intake of trainees for its accredited course for musicians, dancers and the early years workforce. The next course will begin in April and an application pack can be found at www.steppingintomusic.org.uk, which also offers more information about the programme and about the proven developmental benefits of integrated music and movement activity for this age group. The deadline for applications is Wednesday 31 March 2010.
SiM will help address the lack of skilled and experienced practitioners to lead and deliver music and movement activity in early years settings across the country, by equipping an enthusiastic new team of practitioners with the skills to develop and deliver work to babies and young children in the future. Successful trainees will emerge from the course with either a Level 4 or Level 5 Certificate in Early Years Music and Movement accredited by Canterbury Christ Church University. It is hoped that, together with this recognised qualification and the confidence gained from undertaking the course, these trainees will go on to set up and run their own regular sessions with under-fives.
Mayor of London launches strategy for music education
3 March 2010
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has announced a two-year programme of activity aimed at boosting music education provision in the capital, supported by £100,000 of seedbed funding. Making Music Matter: A Music Education Strategy for London 2010-1012, was launched at the Royal Festival Hall on 2 March.
Since the closure of the Inner London Education Authority music service in the 1990s, there has been no London-wide strategic agency for music education. While musical activity for young people is flourishing in some respects, provision is not consistent across the 32 boroughs and some aspects of music teaching, particularly instrumental and vocal tuition, that are difficult to access for those on low incomes. While early access is generally good, the increasing pressure on local authority budgets means it is harder to provide free intensive tuition and progression opportunities at intermediate and advanced level.
The Greater London Authority (GLA) Music Education Programme has grown out of the lord Mayor's summit on music education in January 2009. It will seek to improve the provision of music education in London by brokering relationships, conducting research and producing advice for the music education sector in London, with the intention of stimulating growth and partnerships by 2012, leading to sustained improvement in the longer term. It will consist of the following strands of activity:
The Mayor's music education fund
£100,000 to seed fund partnerships between local authority music services and ensembles in the city, through a grant fund which opens in May 2010. The aim is to give young people the experience of working with professional musicians, encouraging them to make music in ensemble while helping to raise their musical aspirations. It will also strengthen and deepen the partnership working between London's music services and the orchestral sector. The fund will be administered by the GLA in partnership with the London branch of the Federation of Music Services, working closely in the first instance with the Association of British Orchestras.
An audit of music education provision
This will be produced in stages throughout 2010-12 and used to shape understanding of provision and identify gaps or areas needing additional support
Rhythm of London
An annual showcase event, inaugurated last year. This year's will take place 17-24 April. Supported by a website signposting musical opportunities for young people and ultimately linking advisory services and schools
Events and publications to support teacher development
Advocacy to funders and government
Consultations with young people, teachers, parents and music education providers through events, online activity and social media to help improve communications across the sector and ensure that providers are aware of people's needs.
The programme is steered by a 15-strong board chaired by Karen Brock, head of Tower Hamlets Arts and Music Education Service, with Richard Morris, recently-retired chief executive of the ABRSM, as deputy chair. It includes representatives of the Barbican, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, the Southbank Centre, the London Symphony Orchestra, Youth Music, Music for Youth, Arts Council England and the charity London Music Masters.
Speaking at the launch, where he was serenaded on arrival by children from St Stephen's Primary School who are participating in Lambeth InHarmony, Boris Johnson declared his own enthusiasm for music and paid tribute to the teachers at the Chalk Farm primary school attended by both the foreign secretary, David Miliband, and himself, who had nurtured that enthusiasm by putting violin and recorder-playing at the heart of school life. He said that although the GLA is not a major funder of music education in London, it works in partnership with a range of organisations to improve the delivery of cultural services and there was a widespread consensus that it should play a strategic role in shaping music education in the capital.
ISM chief rallies the troops in support of music education
3 March 2010
The music education sector needs to decide what constitutes a high-quality music education and what can be done to ensure that this remains available to children regardless of which politicians are in power after the forthcoming election, said Deborah Annetts, chief executive of the Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM), in a keynote speech at MusicLearningLive2010, held last month at the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester.
Analysing the pledges of the three main parties with respect to education, Annetts noted that the current government's proposals centre on literacy and numeracy, while there have been hints that the Conservatives may remove music education from the schools ministry and include it in the culture portfolio, leaving it vulnerable to being removed from the core curriculum. In the hurly-burly of political debate, she said, music education could easily be lost. 'But it must not be lost. It is too important to be lost.'
Music education has had significant support since 1999 when the government introduced the Standards Fund for Music, which is ring-fenced funding, allocated to music education for local authorities to distribute each year, she said. 'Without the leverage of the ring-fenced Music Standards Fund, it is likely that a significant part of the music education funding of £219 million, together with infrastructure, would be lost.'
In support of its case, the ISM commissioned a YouGov poll which proves, Annetts said, that it is not just music professionals who recognise the value of music education. It revealed that 91% of adults believe that every child should have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument in school, and more than three quarters of the public back the current level of funding for the Standards Fund.
'And did you know that when you break this down the Standards Fund costs just 3p per person per week? Now that is good value. As a sector we need to argue strongly for the Standards Fund for Music to be maintained at least at its current level, if not increased, to 2015.
'Not only do we have a music education system which is recognised as world-class, but we also have a general public which is hugely supportive of music education. We should recognise this fact and be very proud. Perhaps music educators have been hiding their lights under a bushel for too long. Perhaps now is the moment for us to speak up loudly and proclaim just how good music education really is in this country and how much support it.'
Annetts also stated that performing arts graduates are more likely to be employed than most other graduates. 'No wonder then that it was the Creative Economy which was the only part of the economy which grew during the recession. We should be nurturing this sector and ensuring that we have the skills and the talents with which to continue to support and grow it.'
In MusicLearnngLive's second keynote speech Paul Collard, chief executive of Creativity, Culture and Education, suggested that children's services might be best placed in the future to engage with artists and arts organisations to provide cultural education; Artists including musicians have successfully made the case for the social value of the arts; children's services recognise this and also recognise that they do not have the expertise to deliver arts activities. However on a less positive note Collard endorsed the concerns of the many conference delegates who deplored the short-termism of initiatives such as the Wider Opportunities instrumental teaching programme, which offers whole classes of primary school children the opportunity to learn one or more instruments for a year. Quoting one mother who had refused permission for her child to take part in the scheme on the grounds that it would inspire an enthusiasm that she could not afford to nurture by paying for lessons after the free provision ended, he reminded delegates that many families on the edge of deprivation were in similar situations. According to CCE's research, such families also face many other hidden barriers to participation in the arts.

Source: Business, labor get deal on sweeping immigration bill.
WASHINGTON - A person familiar with the negotiations says big business and labor have resolved a dispute over a low-skilled worker program that threatened to hold up agreement on a sweeping immigration bill.
The deal was struck in a phone call late Friday night with AFL-CIO head Richard Trumka, U.S. Chamber of Commerce head Tom Donohue, and Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, who's been mediating the dispute.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of a formal announcement, said the deal resolves disagreements over wages for the new workers and which industries would be included.
The agreement between business and labor removes the biggest hurdle to completion of the bill to secure the border, crack down on employers, improve legal immigration and create a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants.

and inspire kids to clean??
we've got just the project for you!!!
- A free kids chore chart in PDF format
- A page of magnet designs (included in PDF above) for the Model 100 Button Maker
- An example and instructions for how to make your own!
This cute and crafty kids chore chart is just the thing to get your kids cleaning and keep your sanity too. I actually don't have any kids, but in making this chore chart for the button blog, I discovered something amazing. This thing actually works! It's got myself and my partner keeping up with dishes and laundry like never before! It is great! I like this idea so much that I made a special chore chart just for the two of us.
Here's the idea:
- Make a bunch of 1 inch magnets for each member of your family. Page two of the chore chart includes printable magnet designs. Click here for additional magnet making instructions.
- Print out the chore chart or make your own.
- Laminate the chart or use a transparency over it (to make it into a dry erase board too!) and stick it to the fridge.
- Each week, delegate the chores by putting each family members magnet on their chore for the corresponding day.
- When the chore is completed, you get a little sense of accomplishment when you move your magnet to the All Done! section.
This is what I did for my family:
I came up with a chart that shows the days of the week going across the top and the chores that are specific to my household down the side. Then I found the cutest retro font I could find and cute clip art to decorate it.
The downloadable PDF chore chart is 8.5×11 vertical to be easily printed by most people. In addition to the listed chores (dishes, sweep, mop, garbage, vacuum, bathroom, and laundry) there are two blank sections so you can write in your own. You can print the magnet designs I included if you want, or you can make your own to suit your families needs. You could even switch the chart around by including the days of the week at the top, the family member names down the side, and then make different magnets for all the different chores. That way you could throw spring cleaning or some other not-so-regular household duties in there once in a while.
The possibilities are endless!!
I'd love to hear your feedback. Please leave a comment if you like these ideas : )

Freecom has married the digital internet radio and MP3 streamer in the form of the MusicPal. As you probably already know, Internet radios give you the freedom to pick from over 5,000 stations and when you add this to your own collection of MP3s, that's a lot of music. PC and Mac compatible, the portable device has a built-in speaker and can be connected to an audio system or amplified speakers for a richer sound quality too. It's a simple way to move your stored music around the house while giving yourself the freedom to listen to other things. The radio feature is what was sadly missing from the Philips audio streaming system we reported on a couple of weeks ago.

Ask Fan Landers: Either She's Your Girlfriend or Your Roadie, Not Both
Dear Fan, I am considering taking my girlfriend on tour with me and my band. In the band it is me and three other guys. It will be a six week jaunt, we are traveling in a van. I asked the guys in the band if my GF could come, and they all gave a lukewarm "yes." I've heard warnings about partners on tour and what a bad idea it is, but I figure we could use the help with merch and driving. She isn't super close with the guys in the band, but she likes them, and they like her. I'm a little worried that having her along may be distracting, but again, the help that she will provide maybe worth the distraction? What do you think? -N.B.
Dear N.B. Before we get into whether this is a good or bad idea, why don't you just have her come along for a week? That way it's more adventure, less slog. If you discover it's a terrible idea three days in, everyone can rest assured that she's taking the Greyhound home once you get to Pittsburgh. And if it's going bad on day 13, you could be broken up by end of the tour.
Part of the reason inviting partners on the road has a bad rap is because it'll exacerbate any pre-existing issues you have. Either of you the jealous type? That'll make for some fun screaming fights at 3 a.m. while the rest of the band loads the van. And the day after? OMG, who doesn't love a long drive with a frosty, resentful couple?
If it is too late to backpedal on the offer of six weeks, you need to consider some factors, especially if she is not a musician or has never been on tour herself. (I assume that that may be the case largely because I cannot imagine a musician willingly riding along for six weeks of her boyfriend's van tour) Does she know that tour is super boring and involves a lot of waiting and late nights and terrible food and sleeping on floors that are crusted with doghair where she will lay awake praying she is not, at that very second, contracting scabies?
How resilient and social is she? Is she a born road dog? Is she gonna flip when it's your guys' turn to sleep in the van? Is she going to expect you to hang out with her after the show? What if you wanna stay out til 5 a.m. smoking dirty j's with the headlining band--or something else that she'd otherwise not be privy to if she were home?

This news comes about after Jeff Bezos' firm sent out invitations to members of the press, asking for them to attend an Amazon press conference being held at an airport hanger in Santa Monica, California on September 6.
No further details were released, but given that the event is being organized by the firm's Kindle division, a tablet looks the most likely bet. A September launch certainly ties in with the recent rumors, while Barnes & Noble recently cut the price of its 8GB and 16GB Nook Tablets, presumably in the knowledge that a new Kindle Fire is coming to market.
The Kindle Fire 2 will reportedly be thinner and have a better display (1280 x 800 resolution) than its predecessor (1024 x 600). The new model is also expected to have a camera for the first time, a faster chip, improved graphics and an updated version of Android, as well as a price tag of $199. The original Kindle Fire will drop to $149, according to sources.
Amazon is expected to launch as many as six new tablets over the course of the next year, according to Staples, and new rumors suggest that Amazon is working on a 10-inch Kindle Fire. This model is expected to run a skinned version of Android, have a front-facing camera and feature microUSB and microHDMI ports.
The original Kindle Fire launched in September of last year, and quickly jumped up to #2 place in the tablet market, behind Apple. However, the arrival of Google's Nexus 7 has seen sales taper off in more recent times, say market researchers.

We are talking about Bombs because both Bombs and Guns are inanimate objects. Both are used by humans to cause mass killings.
For that matter, what if a psychopath went into a school with a nail-gun and took out a classroom with that? Should we then ban nail guns? Of what if they went through school with a pesticide sprayer, loaded it with gasoline (crerated a flame thrower) and burn classrooms of kids. Do we then ban pesticide srayers? These are absolutely horrible things to think of but again, a psychopath doesnt care about the means he has to murder people, he will find anyway to do it.
wheres the damn quote button
A nail gun ,why the hell would he go to kill a lot of people with a nail gun ? isn't that presumptuous ? he wouldn't kill massly if it was too hard ,maybe he would just top himself instead ,that is the point ...
I think a lot of people miss the point ,not many IF ANY people use bombs in a typical murder suicide scenario.A bomber is a bomber ,different kettle of fish .
There is no scenario better than a shooter using an automatic weapon..
Let me ask you ,if it were your choice to commit an act ,don't tell me you would trade an automatic weapon for a bag full of throwing stars right ?
Of course you wouldn't

Finally, after months of waiting, and almost forgetting the spread was scheduled for print, my shoot with up-and-coming fashion designer Bishme Cromartie was released in the September issue of Relapse magazine. Worst part about shooting for print is the wait. The key is to shoot for print continuously so you can get a conveyor belt of magazine releases.
