iPhone Users Have a lot More Sex Than Android and BlackBerry Users
Categories: Silicon Beach
When we came across this study, conducted by free online dating site OkCupid, we thought, What? The study was put together by OkCupid's editorial director, Christian Rudder, who was also one of the guys behind TheSpark.com -- you know, the site that had all of those personality tests, among them the famed "purity test" no one likes to admit taking.
Well, they surveyed 9,785 people with smart phones for camera-efficacy analysis, crossing-user behaviors, and camera models, and somehow they came up with the following statistics: At age 30, male iPhone users have had approximately ten sexual partners, while women have had an average of 12. That's double the action Android users are getting, apparently, because they clock in at only six partners each for men and women. But does owning an iPhone really double your fun?
But is this really a testament to what happens in the real world? Does the type of technology you use really determine the number of partners you'll have?
We found it a little odd that they didn't also survey non-smart phone users. We're not the only ones getting any, are we? But once we delved a little deeper into the statistics, we noticed one key component: The camera you use can determine how attractive you appear to others.
They surveyed the best digital cameras for bringing out your good side, alongside camera phones. And guess which camera phone was one of the top on the list? Yeah, we're looking at you, iPhone.
With all of this in mind, we've come to the following conclusion: If iPhones can make even the most unattractive person model-worthy, isn't it just a given that the person would also be having more fun between the sheets? Well, with other iPhone users, wearing their custom-built iPhone "beer" goggles, of course.
But what do you think? All of this came about when OkCupid conducted research on how not to be "Ugly by Accident" in photographs, but is there any truth to it? Or do you think it was just a ploy to get more tech-savvy people onto a dating site?

Philip Magrath – Curator of Artillery, Royal Armouries
The Germans' Schlieffen Plan depended upon artillery, yet it was artillery that held up their advance on Paris during the first month of the war.
Once trench warfare was established, no infantry involvement by any of the aggressors could be successful without organised artillery bombardment before, during and after the attack.
Here we examine the performance of the best of the field guns and howitzers used and assess the lessons learned for the artillery of the future.

iiNet raises dividend after strong first half
PUBLISHED: 21 Feb 2012 08:46:00 | UPDATED: 21 Feb 2012 09:42:27PRINT EDITION: 21 Feb 2012Brian Corrigan
Australia's third largest internet service provider, iiNet, has increased its interim dividend after posting solid first-half earnings and revenue growth.
The Perth-based company on Tuesday morning posted a net profit of $14.4 million for the six months ended December 31, up 17 per cent from the previous corresponding period, on revenue that was also 11 per cent higher at $365 million.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation rose 36 per cent to $56.4 million. iiNet will pay a fully franked interim dividend of 6 cents a share, up 20 per cent on its previous first half.
During the first half, iiNet continued to lead the consolidation trend among internet service providers, with the purchase of Canberra-based TransACT and Adelaide's Internode taking its share of the national broadband market to about 16 per cent.
It now delivers 1.7 million services to 860,000 subscribers. iiNet managing director Michael Malone said cross-selling more services to existing customers would be a key growth strategy during the next couple of years.
"Our goal is to increase the average number of products per customer from two to three by the end of the 2014 financial year," he said.

Oil fever in the Northern Plains is creating new marketing opportunities for forage producers like Don Walker.
Last fall, oil companies bought several thousand small square bales of certified noxious-weed-seed-free oat straw from the Glendive, MT, producer. Sold mostly in small lots of 150-200 bales, they were to be used in reclamation projects at well-drilling sites, pipelines and associated construction sites.
"This happened to be oat straw, but they'll take any kind of straw as long as it's certified. That's required by state law," explains Walker.
He hopes to sell more to the companies later this year. "They're very good customers; they pay very well. I got as much for that straw as I was getting for the hay I was selling to my regular customers. If I would have had more of it, they would have taken it."
Demand for certified weed-seed-free straw has definitely been on the uptick in the state with increased oil-drilling activity in recent years, says Jeremy Seidlitz. He's a noxious-weed-seed-free forage specialist with the Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA).
"We've been getting tons of phone calls from oil companies and environmental renovation companies looking to source supplies of weed-seed-free straw and forages," Seidlitz says. "At this point, it appears that the demand far exceeds the supply."
MDA launched its weed-seed-free forage program in 1995 after the U.S. Forest Service began requiring horseback riders and other recreationists to feed animals only that forage while on federal lands. Government agencies and public utilities must use weed-seed-free mulches, bedding materials and erosion-control barriers in their work. Private landowners are also encouraged to use such products.
The amount of certified forage produced in Montana dropped from 29,191 tons in 2010 to 23,124 tons last year after rising steadily for most of the past decade, reports MDA.
Walker expects his yields to be lower this year, too. "The second cutting was a bit below average," he says.
Certified straw is a companion enterprise to Walker's haymaking and beef-cow operations. He also grows alfalfa and alfalfa-grass hay on 850 irrigated and dryland acres. Most is packaged in large round bales weighing 1,400-1,700 lbs.
In a typical year, he feeds about 60% of what he produces to his 250-cow herd. The rest goes to local ranchers – except for about 5% sold as certified weed-seed-free hay to recreationists.
As with the straw sales, he gets a premium for the hay product. "Usually, it's about half again as much as we'll get for our regular alfalfa. So, if alfalfa is selling for $100/ton, this will bring $150/ton."
Even so, Walker has been reluctant to increase the amount of acreage devoted to weed-seed-free crops.
"You have to have the hay inspected in order for it to be certified, so there is a cost involved," he says. "And the demand can be variable. One year, you'll have a pretty good market. Then the next year, sales will drop off sharply. It's difficult to anticipate how much you might be able to sell from one year to the next."
In the Montana program, certification currently costs $2.50/acre. To qualify for weed-seed-free status, straw must be inspected within 14 days of harvest and standing hay, within seven days of harvest.
The certification cost and fluctuating demand could keep some producers from getting into the weed-seed-free market, believes Seidlitz. "As an example, one guy who called me had 10,000 acres of straw that he was thinking of certifying," he relates. "But when he learned what the certification cost was, he backed off. He didn't want to commit to that kind of expense until he had a consumer lined up for his product."

By Robert Lynch. Comment, Issue 200, March 2009Published online: 18 March 2009
In its entirety the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is a monumental piece of legislation. It also marks a new level of federal support for the arts and arts workers. Local, state, and national arts advocates successfully rallied together to restore recovery funds in the bill that will help save thousands of arts workers from losing their jobs. The economic stimulus bill passed by Congress reflects a fuller understanding of the importance of the arts to our economic recovery and future. It includes eight initiatives that will enhance the role of the arts in achieving national economic recovery:
See also:
• $50m in additional appropriations for the National Endowment for the Arts; • $130m for the US Department of Agriculture for rural community facilities, including cultural facilities; • $160m for the Corporation for National and Community Service where an innovative "Artists Corps" could be initiated;• $150m for the Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration, which could support grants to enhance cultural district planning and the creative economy;• A portion of the $589m in funding for the National Park Service to preserve, repair and rehabilitate will support workers in the trades and with skills in the arts; • $1bn for federal Community Development Block Grants, which provide "bricks and mortar" funding for state and local projects including some in the arts; • $3.9bn for the Labour Department's worker training and employment services, including the creative sector; • Extending access to unemployment insurance and healthcare benefits, which are important to artists in non-traditional careers. There were, however, a number of challenges that arose along the way to the final legislation. During Congressional debate, political conservatives and pundits mocked the House of Representative's proposed $50m job recovery investment for the non-profit arts sector as having nothing to do with the economy. And before passing its version of the economic stimulus package in early February, the Senate approved an amendment that reflected a fundamental confusion of the role of the arts in the US. That amendment, accepted by a vote of 74-23, stipulated that none of the funding could be used for a list of projects including any museum, theatre, or art centre. These attacks were unsubstantiated by facts and arrogantly dismissed the legitimate employment sector of the arts and culture industry. Eighty five thousand communications were sent by advocates to the US Congress, the offending language was removed and the $50m for the arts restored.Musicians, dancers, painters, actors, and arts administrators pay taxes, rent, and doctor bills just like any other workers. Non-profit arts organisations and their audiences generate annually $166.2bn in US economic activity, support 5.7m jobs, and provide nearly $30bn in government revenue. Last year's Ready to Innovate report issued by the Conference Board, which serves the largest US businesses, states that "it is clear that the arts—music, creative writing, drawing, dance—provide skills sought by employers of the third millennium." The US Conference of Mayors recommended investment in the arts in its 10-Point Plan for a Strong America, stating that "governments which support the arts on average see a return on investment of $7 in taxes for every $1 that the government appropriates." Spending by non-profit arts and culture organisations provides employment not only for artists, curators, designers, musicians, and the like, but for builders, plumbers, accountants, printers, and an array of occupations that make the arts a viable industry. In fact, when you look at a ratio from Americans for the Arts' most recent national economic impact study, the total combined effect of every $1bn in spending by non-profit arts and culture organisations—and their audiences—results in almost 70,000 full-time equivalent jobs. The non-profit arts and culture industry is an economic driver. The arts provide a variety of public goods that make sense for public investment because they create access to—and facilitate participation in—the life of communities across the land. The arts are not only integral to our economy but also to our lives. Most citizens throughout America appreciate the arts for their intrinsic values—their beauty, vision, and inspiration; their ability to open new horizons and sharpen and challenge our thinking. But the arts are part of this nation's economy and they need federal assistance to help prevent further job losses and reduction of cultural programming to the communities they serve. President Barack Obama has said he wants "to use the bully pulpit…to promote the importance of arts and arts education in America" because "the arts help to promote the economic development of countless communities." As the legislative agenda continues beyond the stimulus bill, leaders in Washington, DC—both Democrat and Republican—should continue to recognise and firmly support the essential contribution of the arts to the growth of our economy. The arts are not a frill. Rather, they provide cultural and economic benefits and real jobs for real people. The arts are fundamental to putting Americans back to work. The writer is president and Chief Executive Officer of Americans for the Arts

Washington DC Family Hotels
Washingon DC for Kids
Washingon DC Family Hotels
Sleep! Every kid needs it; every parent loves it when they do it after a long day of sightseeing. What better way to relax in Washington, D.C. than to stay at one of the kid friendly hotels that lace the city proper and surrounding environs.
Washington DC's kid-friendly hotels are about as numerous as the wonderful sights that await you in this lovely city. Parents have loads of hotel options in DC: luxurious European style comfort, moderately priced city escapes and bargain-based hotels with all the necessary amenities to make your children feel comfortable. Prices vary considerably and it is best to check for updated information.
Some of Washington, D.C.'s best kid friendly hotel options include:
Omni Loves Kids…
The Omni Shoreham Hotel is located in Washington's picturesque Rock Creek Park near the fun-filled National Zoo, a favorite attraction for families. The hotel claims to be as close to a resort as travelers will find in the middle of the nation's capitol.
The hotel features more than 800 guest rooms, each classic in style yet offering families modern amenities like Wi-Fi internet service and on-demand movies and Nintendo games.
The outdoor heated pool is one of the best features of the hotel, surrounded by lush greenery and always clean and welcoming.
For parents, there's a fitness center and sauna but they can also exercise without having to leave the kids, thanks to Omni's Get Fit Kit, available at the front desk. Some rooms even feature treadmills. Washington's downtown attractions are easily accessible from the Omni Shoreham Hotel on foot or via the Metro. Hungry kids will find plenty to eat at this hotel, from the casual Roberts Restaurant that serves all three meals to the pool bar for light fare to A Little Something Gourmet To Go, featuring take-out items from coffee to sandwiches.
Kid's Passport…
The Mandarin Oriental, Washington D.C.
is centrally located in the nation's capital, across from Potomac Park. Connected by a footbridge to the park, the hotel is four blocks from the Smithsonian Institution and five blocks from the National Mall. The White House and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial are a short easy walk away.
The hotel also includes a fitness center with water views and a 50 foot, heated indoor lap pool. Children are welcome at the Mandarin Oriental, Washington D.C. On arrival, children are given an animated map and a kid's passport. Younger visitors receive a soft plush Gund dog to keep them company throughout their stay.
A private gallery exhibiting fine art in a unique arrangement with the Smithsonian Institution is open on site for guests to view. Insider tip: Directly outside of the Mandarin Oriental is a great breakfast cafe serving bagels and coffees.
Nintendo and Yoga…
Hotel George
bills itself as the "hippest" hotel in Washington DC. This newly renovated hotel, housed in a 1920s-era building, is indeed a great change from the usual chain hotels and at an affordable price as well. Furnishings in the 139 spacious rooms are sleek yet comfortable and family-friendly. In-room amenities include on demand movies and Nintendo, high speed internet and, for mom or dad, a complimentary in-room yoga program! The hotel is pet-friendly as well.
The location couldn't be better! Across the street from the U.S. Capitol Building and within walking distance of most major downtown attractions, the Hotel George puts families in the middle of the action. Bistro Bis, adjacent to the hotel, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a warm, friendly atmosphere. This hotel offers a number of vacation packages so be sure to check those out when you're making reservations. Many include tickets to local attractions or even to a Washington Nationals game.
Zoo and Center…
The Quincy
is, quite obviously, located in the heart of Washington D.C.'s downtown area, close to all the best attractions the capitol city has to offer. Recently renovated, this hotel was voted the best moderately priced hotel in D.C. by Frommers in 2002. Dubbed a boutique hotel, the guest rooms at the Quincy are certainly larger than those of many similarly titled hotels. This is an ideal choice for families as each suite offers a refrigerator, microwave, wet bar, and coffee maker, so keeping milk or formula cold is simple and its easy to prepare a quick meal or snack. Guests will also enjoy free continental breakfast every morning and can end their day with scrumptious cookies and milk served in the hotel's spacious lobby each evening. Several package deals are offered that may include such perks as tickets to the Kennedy Center or the National Zoo. There are 30 restaurants located within just a few blocks of the hotel, including 2 onsite, and though there are 2 Metro stations nearby, favored attractions like the Smithsonian Institution museums are within easy walking distance.
In the Presence of Politicians…
Club Quarters
, located near the
White House
, is a new concept in lodging. These hotels, with several locations nationwide, are private, full service hotels for member organizations designed for the business traveler and subsidized for family and friends' use on weekends and holiday periods.
If you qualify for use of this hotel, your stay in D.C. will be quite pleasant. The rates are quite affordable in comparison with a traditional hotel and the security at Club Quarters is top-notch thanks to the presence of members of government agencies. Government employees are guaranteed per diem rates 365 days a year. The hotel includes several club-like services including a 24-hour service desk, a club room with complimentary coffee for the parents and games for the children, free use of a computer and printer, and exercise equipment. There's an onsite restaurant and an extensive room service menu and shopping service and refrigerator stocking is available as well.
It's All About Image…
The Washington Plaza Hotel
was built by famous architect Morris Lapidus, best known for his designs of the Fountainbleu and Eden Roc in Miami. Contemporary in style, this hotel welcomes visitors of all ages with its constantly-smiling staff and other great amenities. The hotel is located on Thomas Circle, just blocks from Washington D.C.'s best attractions and close to the Metro.
The Plaza is amazingly large for a downtown hotel, boasting 340 lovely and spacious guest rooms.
Kids age 16 and under stay free with parents and pets are welcome as well, with a small deposit. The hotel used to have a glass-covered pool with retracting dome but now boasts a beautifully landscaped outdoor heated pool. Families can dine by the pool in the summer and there's also a children's activity room that's open during high vacation season. The onsite restaurant, Number Ten Thomas, offers all three meals and room service is available as well. There's also a gift shop, fitness room, and spa services. Indoor parking is available for a fee.
Vacation Station Toys…
Hilton Embassy Row
is a European-style boutique hotel that's clean and classy, typical of all the Hilton hotels. Located just steps from dozens of embassies and near many other historic attractions as well, this hotel is a good choice for families. Amenities include a pool and fitness center as well as a limited number of
children's activities
The Vacation Station program, available at many Hilton-owned hotels, offers toys and games for kids who are vacationing at their family of hotels.
The concierge desk is eager to arrange sightseeing tours for your family as well. Dining is a delight at the Hilton Embassy Row. The International Marketplace Restaurant offers a great breakfast buffet 7-days a week and their lunch and dinner menus include kid's meals. Lots of other family-friendly restaurants are within walking distance. Check out the Hilton Family Connections program that provides coupons for food and attractions near the hotel.
Pop Rocks and Bunk Beds…
Hotel Helix
, a Washington D.C. boutique hotel, boasts a colorful and vibrant decor reminiscent of the 1960s, best described as fun. Kids will adore this hotel that stocks its mini-bar with Bugles and Pop Rocks and offers Bunk Rooms for families. They'll also love the Sony WEGA flat screen TVs with WebTV access and Nintendo games.
The Hotel Helix is pet-friendly too so Fido can join in on the fun. The concierge staff is terrific and offers assistance in finding hard to locate tickets to local events, arranging sightseeing, finding a kid-friendly restaurant for picky eaters, or locating stores to purchase late-night baby items.
Sightseeing is easy on foot or via the Metro. This hotel offers lots and lots of package plans that make your stay in Washington even more affordable.
Other great family hotels include:
Washington Suites Georgetown
The Melrose
Churchill Hotel
One Washington Circle
St Gregory Hotel and Suites
Holiday Inn Georgetown
Holiday Inn Capitol
Sheraton National Hotel
The above options are some of the most kid friendly hotels in Washington DC.

Kids under eighteen stay free in the room of their parents at the many of these establishments including Bugetel, Choice Hotels, Clarion, Comfort Inn, Motel 6 and Quality Inns.
It's no secret that kids need to be pampered while on vacation. When visiting Washington DC, consider the kid friendly accommodation options on offer. They provide unique amenities and discounted prices that will make everyone happy. Have a good night's sleep!

Pop My Culture #100: "Weird Al" Yankovic
By Katie Levine on November 27, 2012
"Weird Al" Yankovic (king of pop culture parody and star of UHF) joins Cole and Vanessa for their super-special shiny 100th Episode! They talk Dr. Demento, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, Bedazzlers, Guy Fieri's Ass Blast Nachos, the final Twilight, GAZOOOOOO!, People's Sexiest Man of the Year Channing Tatum, accordions, The Madonna Inn, utilizing Leslie Nielsen, mountains of fan letters, the White and Nerdy explosion, Kevin McCarthy, Sadgasm, holiday cards from Robert Goulet, the Wheel of Fish, a very bizarre Homeland episode, and Al's hiring of a young Tress MacNeille!
Leave your answer to the Firsts question (the first parody film you were really into) on our website for a chance to win an Alpocalypse CD/DVD and UHF DVD signed by Al!
I kind of get the impression that there's no question obscure enough that you could ask Al about his body of work that he couldn't answer it.
So, any word on the next season of Face-To-Face?
Q: What's the difference between an accordion and a trampoline?
A: You take your shoes _off_ to jump on a trampoline.
(Told to me by a jazz sax player in college)"A gentleman is someone who knows how to play the accordion,
but doesn't."
(George Shearing)

2012 Toyota Yaris: First Drive
October 24th, 2011 by Armaan Almeida
The 2012 Yaris is making its debut, bringing a fresh take on the competitive subcompact segment from Toyota. Available in 3- and 5-door hatchbacks, the model carries over its 1.5-liter 4-cylinder but sees upgrades in many other departments. Fuel efficiency climbs as high as 30 city/38 highway mpg.
Motor Trend recently drove the top-of-the-line Yaris SE, with its upgraded wider 16-inch alloy wheels, firmer suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and sportier interior. 0-60 test results were particularly surprising: at 9.2 seconds, the new 2012 car is nearly a second quicker than its predecessor. The car handles itself well under spirited driving, though testers did note the SE was much more engaging than the lower trim levels without all those enhancements.
The 2012 Yaris starts at $14,115 for the 3-door and $15,140 for the 5-door. The SE starts at $16,400 and is only available as a 5-door. All prices are before a $760 destination charge.

Karlie Elizabeth Kloss (born August 3, 1992) is an American fashion model. Kloss is currently ranked 2nd on the Top 50 Models Women list by Models.com.[4] Vogue Paris declared her one of the top 30 models of the 2000s.[5]
Contents |
Kloss was born in Chicago, Illinois, and her family moved to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1994.[6] Kloss has called her classical ballet training "a beautiful thing" that taught her how to move in the modeling world and was a great training ground for her runway walk.[7]
Kloss was "discovered at a local benefit runway show".[8] She attended Webster Groves High School.[9]
At the beginning of her career in 2006, Kloss posed for Photographer David Leslie Anthony for a 12 page editorial and cover for Scene Magazine in Chicago. Elite Chicago then forwarded these tear sheets to Elite NY, who then brought Kloss to New York.
One of her first modelling stints was for Abercrombie when she posed for the brand's photography shot by Bruce Weber.[10] In January 2008 she left Elite and signed with NEXT Model Management. She ended up walking 31 runways in New York Fashion Week notably, closing for Marc Jacobs, opening Carolina Herrera, and occupying both spots at Doo.Ri.[11] After New York she went on to walk 20 shows in Milan, and 13 in Paris for the fall 2008 collections, with a total of 64 shows in a single season. Kloss found herself in the middle of a legal dispute when her former agency Elite Model Management sued NEXT Model Management for allegedly stealing its young star by offering her "improper compensation" to sign.[12] Elite felt they were responsible for launching her career and booked much work for her.[12] The case was eventually settled out of court.[13]
After four years of being represented by Next Model Management, Kloss is now signed with IMG Models. "Karlie has an immense and loyal following, and we welcome the opportunity to help expand her relationships through endorsements as well as our global network that reaches beyond fashion," said Ivan Bart, IMG Models' senior vice president and managing director.[14]
She was named the best model by People magazine in 2008. Kloss, labeled her famed runway walk a "moody gait." Molly Sims, whom she considers a mentor, told New York she thinks Kloss is the type of model who will still "do well at 30" because of her classic look.[7]
She has been in advertisements for Jean Paul Gaultier, Donna Karan, Nina Ricci, Chloé, Lacoste, Sportmax, Alexander McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent, Elie Saab, Dolce & Gabbana, Gap, Bally Shoe, Bergdorf Goodman, Pringle of Scotland, Dior, Hermes, Oscar de la Renta, Sonia Rykiel, Aquascutum, Topshop, Eryn Brinie, Uniqlo, Omnia Jade, Lord & Taylor, Barneys New York, American Eagle, and Victoria's Secret PINK. Kloss is the face of the Marc Jacobs fragrance Lola. She has walked for numerous designers in New York, London, Milan and Paris, including Shiatzy Chen, Calvin Klein, Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, Givenchy, Gucci, Valentino, Louis Vuitton and Versace, Elie Saab and appeared in editorials for American and Korean W, American Elle, Allure, i-D, French and Japanese Numéro, Vanity Fair, Dazed & Confused, and American, Australian, Italian, French, British, Korean, German, Japanese, Chinese, Turkish, Portuguese, Teen, and Latin American[15][16] Vogue magazines. Her covers include Italian Vogue in October 2009, January 2010, and December 2011, Vogue Turkey, Vogue Portugal, Vogue China in February, August, and November in 2010, British Vogue in September 2012, Vogue Korea and American Teen Vogue, alongside Chanel Iman and Ali Michael in February 2008 and by herself in May 2010. She has ventured into TV when she appeared in Season Four Episode 1 of Gossip Girl as herself. She has become a muse for fashion designer John Galliano and has appeared in Dior and John Galliano campaigns and opened both shows, Christian Dior Haute Couture and Dior resort shows from spring summer 2010. In the Spring/Summer 2011 Season, she opened 10 shows and closed 8.[17]
Her runway walk, one of the most unique, is often described as powerful.[18] In February 2011, supermodel Tyra Banks stated that Kloss was one of her favorite models because of her "unique, atypical beauty".[19]
In 2011 Kloss renewed her contract with Christian Dior for the third season in a row.[20] The same year, she made her debut in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.[21]
In 2012 Kloss is featured on the September covers of British Vogue, Japanese Vogue, Harper's Bazaar Russia, and Numero.[citation needed] She appeared in the campaign ads of Juicy Couture, Stefanel, Elie Saab and Jean Paul Gaultier.[citation needed] She co-hosted with the revival of the MTV series House of Style with fellow model Joan Smalls.[22] She also appeared in that year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.[23]
In 2013, she was the face of Donna Karan, Lacoste and Lanvin campaigns. Kloss worked with Victoria's Secret on their 2013 summer swimwear video.[24]
Her hobbies include baking cookies, biking, and ballet.[6] In collaboration with Momofuku Milk Bar, she created a special recipe called Karlie's Kookies that she sold in DKNY Soho during Fashion's Night Out in New York City, with proceeds benefiting hungry children around the world (through FEED projects). She calls it a "Perfect 10 Cookie", because it contains dark chocolate and almond oat (dairy-free, gluten-free, and no sugar added).[25]

Force Indias Paul di Resta equalled his best-ever F1 finish with fourth place at the last round in Bahrain. It was the result of a hard winters work from the team, who on the back of a strong start to the season now lie fifth in the standings - ahead of McLaren. Di Resta, however, is not getting carried away. The Scot knows they must find more qualifying speed to complement their race pace if they are to have any chance of staying ahead of their Woking rivals, as he explained exclusively to Formula1.com
Q: Paul, it looks like you are on a steep upward curve - it seemed to come about so suddenly
Paul di Resta: Ha, to be honest it isnt so suddenly at all. We had a good start into the season and if we hadnt had the issues in Malaysia and in China we certainly would have scored a lot of points and would be in an even better position. I have worked extremely hard over the winter - the team has worked extremely hard over the winter - so we probably see now the rewards of this hard work. What is now paramount is to keep the car where it is - to keep our performance at that level to be able to stay where we are. But we have to keep the respect from McLaren - they are breathing down our neck. With the resources that they have - and the history - we have to be on our guard.
Q: You say that you worked so hard over the winter - when you had no confirmed team mate for 2013 - and now the results are showing. So was it a blessing that yours was the only drivers opinion that counted?
PdR: Lets put it this way, right now I cant see that it was a negative. It was obviously difficult and hard - also not knowing who will occupy the spot in the garage next to me - but I enjoyed that very intense work with the team, with the guys Ive known since I joined Force India. We have started into the season with our best ever campaign. Consistency is the keyword that propels us.
Q: You are eighth in the standings with some big names behind you, like Jenson Button and Nico Rosberg. So it sounds like this is going to be a pleasant season for you, but will it last?
PdR: Well, this is the race where all the teams will bring massive updates - and it will be up to us to see that ours work. I certainly hope that my position will outlast this weekend.
Q: What kind of updates are on Force Indias agenda for this weekend?
PdR: You dont want to know that - because if told you I would have to kill you! (laughs) Weve brought new things on the mechanical and the aero side and I think our mechanical stuff is very interesting. I hope that we will have a productive day tomorrow and be able to implement all the new things and have the confidence to run them. Should we realize that they are not what they should be, we go back to the base line because the car is working well and our focus clearly has to be on scoring points. Points for us - anytime - are a key thing, especially if you are only three points ahead of McLaren. Realistically our main rivals are Williams and Sauber, but as we are still ahead of McLaren that bridges the gap and maximizes our chances in the pecking order.
Q: At the last race in Bahrain you were so close to a podium finish. Why didnt it happen?
PdR: Because we didnt have a fast enough car. Essentially Grosjean not qualifying in Q3 caught us out because he had a lot of fresh tyres. He had four new sets and easily could do a three-stop race, whereas we went for two stops with used tyres. That is cutting a long story short
Q: What was on your mind when Grosjean passed you?
PdR: That Ive been very close to a podium. Maybe we could have done things differently - maybe with a more aggressive strategy. But if somebody had told me that I was in for a fourth place on our own merit - no crashes in front of you and no big dramas - then wed have to take it. And the good thing is when you finish in P4 the natural impulse is to go one better the next time, to really go for the podium. (laughs)
Q: Was there a moment when you thought you would bring P3 home?
PdR: Of course. We thought that we were racing Mark Webber and suddenly Grosjean took us by surprise. His pace rapidly ramped up towards the end of the race.
Q: Was it really down to him not running in Q3 and saving tyres?
PdR: Well, he had four new sets of tyres: two new sets of primes and two new sets of options. In that crucial part of the race he was on options and I was on prime and we did a longer stint. You could see that his speed was better than Kimis (Raikkonens), and Kimi finished second. If we had had a faster car in that situation, we would have done it.
Q: When looking at the race results you could argue that good strategy and tyre management are worth more than a good qualifying this year. Is that what is boosting Lotus and Force India? How do you see that?
PdR: I wouldnt say so. Look at Sebastian Vettel. He started from the front row and won the race - he probably wouldnt have done so starting further back on the grid. I still would go for a good qualifying position. Look at what happened to us in Shanghai - our performance over one lap was not good. Until we got to stint three we were stuck in traffic and couldnt pass - had graining tyres - but once we were clear of traffic we caught 17 seconds on the Sauber in one stint. Our pace was exceptional - but our speed in qualifying wasnt good enough. In Bahrain we had a good qualifying performance, we were clear of traffic, and that gave us the chance to run the strategy we wanted. Look, we know that the speed of our car is not like Red Bull or Mercedes, so you have to go for a different way of thinking - you have to play the long game. You look at nice pit stops and keeping yourself out of trouble - so that is a different approach. But be clear, we as a team would definitely rather go for a pole position and fight for the win from the front of the race.
Q: So you dont think you should forsake a good qualifying position for the chance of better race pace?
PdR: You maybe gamble slightly at some races, but generally no. In the position we are in at the moment we go for qualifying. Maybe the Lotus works better when they are heavy - probably like the Ferraris: they look very good in race conditions compared to qualifying. Then you have Mercedes: they qualify well but struggle in the race. It is so on the limit where you go. Thank God for us you get points in the race, where we are a bit stronger.
Q: There is a modified hard tyre compound this weekend. Will that mean even more advantage for you?
PdR: I dont see it to be negative. The hotter it is the more we would love it, but I dont see a dramatic change. But that could all be wrong, as none of us has driven it. It is the same compound as last year but a different construction.
Q: Force India are now fifth in the constructors standings, but the realistic aim is to finish in P6. How difficult is it to defend against McLaren?
PdR: It is hard to defend. At the moment I dont see it that you could say that we would finish in P5 - realistically. If we were to find ourselves still in P5 after 12 races then I would start to believe that we have a chance to defend. But P6 is realistic - and achievable.
Q: With the tailwind of Bahrain behind you, what is your target for this weekend?
PdR: I would say that Barcelona is one of the hardest races to predict. Everybody has a lot of data from this track, so you can much more easily rely on stored information. But this weekend everything will be about updates working or not. Barcelona generally always means a big step in development, so I would be happy if we qualify in Q3 and finish in the range of P7 - that would be a good result for us. It is no secret that Barcelona and Monaco are the most difficult tracks for us as they rely so much on downforce - and generally we are a bit slower on the downforce sectors. We are better on the straights. But never underestimate the tailwind of a good result! (laughs)

Using @font-face
This is the method with the deepest support possible right now:
@font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('webfont.woff2') format('woff2'), /* Super Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Pretty Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
Things are shifting heavily toward WOFF though (Update: and now WOFF2!), so you can probably get away with:
@font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
url('myfont2.woff') format('woff2'), /* Chrome 26+, Opera 23+ */
url('myfont.woff') format('woff'); /* Chrome 6+, Firefox 3.6+, IE 9+, Safari 5.1+ */
Or if you wanna go a little further back:
@font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('myfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Chrome 6+, Firefox 3.6+, IE 9+, Safari 5.1+ */
url('myfont.ttf') format('truetype'); /* Chrome 4+, Firefox 3.5, Opera 10+, Safari 3—5 */
You then use it like this:
body {
font-family: 'MyWebFont', Fallback, sans-serif;
is for loading up and using your own custom fonts, rather than the limited set of standard system fonts already installed on computers that browsers have access to. What fonts those are varies quite a bit from system to system. Here's the lowdown.
Remember that font files can be very large and add extra requests to your site, both things that slow down websites. Make sure you consider that and decide a custom font is important enough to you to include.
If you do use custom fonts, one way to be more responsible about it is to load as little of the character set and as few alternate weights and styles as possible. For instance, if using Google Fonts, importing only a few specific combos:
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Averia+Sans+Libre:400,300italic,700);
Or even limiting the character set.
Other than performance, @font-face seems to be one of those things always rife with weird bugs. Like this and this and this.
Font Formats
There are several competing formats each with their own history.
Web Open Font Format. Created for use on the web, and developed by Mozilla in conjunction with other organizations, WOFF fonts often load faster than other formats because they use a compressed version of the structure used by OpenType (OTF) and TrueType (TTF) fonts. This format can also include metadata and license info within the font file. This format seems to be the winner and where all browsers are headed.
WOFF2 is an evolution of it that is basically better compressed (support).
Scalable Vector Graphics (Font). SVG is a vector re-creation of the font, which makes it much lighter in file size, and also makes it ideal for mobile use. This format is the only one allowed by version 4.1 and below of Safari for iPhone. Currently SVG fonts are not supported by Firefox, IE or IE Mobile. Firefox has postponed implementation indefinitely to focus on WOFF. SVGZ is a zipped version of SVG.
Embedded Open Type. This format was created by Microsoft (the original innovators of @font-face) over 15 years ago. It's the only format that IE8 and below will recognize when using @font-face.
OpenType Font and TrueType Font. In part because these formats could easily (and illegally) be copied, the WOFF format was created. However, OpenType has capabilities that many designers might be interested in (ligatures and such).
Font Services
Services can allow for fonts you wouldn't otherwise have access to, allow you to use the font legally, and deal with the delivery for you (e.g. serve the fonts through a CDN for you). Here's some:
- Cloud Typography
- Typekit
- Fontdeck
- Webtype
- Fontspring
- Typotheque
- WebINK
- Fonts.com
- Google Fonts
- Font Squirrel
Sass Mixin
If you're so inclined, Jon Neal has one here.

Self-Funders: The Next Front in the War on the GOP Establishment
The brewing conservative war on the Republican establishment has gotten a lot of ink lately, and we can only expect more of it with the rise and rise of Marco Rubio.
This means kick starting a generational transition to the new fundraising model. Right now, we cannot compete with the Democrats' scalable online fundraising machine and if this is not corrected our party will face a long-term financial deficit. A big part of this will be growing a millions-strong network of supporters and giving them something to rally around. Moreover, our candidate recruitment should focus less on a candidate's ability to collect $2,300 checks or to self-fund than on the strength of their message -- which will ultimately attract more small and high dollar donors online and off. Traditional fundraising is still important, but in modern campaigns, it's more like startup venture capital money than a long-term cash cow.
In February, when the GOP was still in a fetal position after the drubbing they received at the hands of Obama's half-billion dollar online juggernaut, I expanded on this point:
The lesson here is that fundraising is not an independent variable. Fundraising is a dependent variable and the independent variable is the message. There does not exist an innate ability to fundraise independent of a strong message -- unless the candidate is fabulously wealthy and can self-fund. And in cases where there might be, all the fundraising in the world cannot overcome a poor message. If a candidate is wealthy or has rich friends, but has no message, the GOP should run -- not walk -- away from that candidate.
For a 2010 GOP Primary Example, See PA6
This is the race to keep Jim Gerlach's seat.
Curt Schroder is a mainstream conservative with a record of standing up against party bosses who is being challenged by a venture-capitalist named Steve Welch. Welch was steered into this race by party bosses even though he does not live in the district.
He lives in PA7, where the bosses wanted dinosaur insider Pat Meehan to run for the nomination unopposed. Welch's campaign manager just happens to be a friend of Meehan.
Steve may not be such a bad guy, or bad addition to PA politics. But he was registered as a Democrat just last year, and gave money to Joe Sestak in 2006. So in this particular race, it was insane for the party to steer him towards taking on Schroder.
I believe-- and this is just my thinking-- that the party is exacting some revenge on Schroder. Curt voted against keeping Perzel-- a GOP party boss and insider-- as Speaker of the House a couple years ago. As Perzel was just indicted for corruption, though, you have to ask yourself if that was such a poor decision.
This is a big problem on our side of the aisle too. From my perspective, it's both an essentially unavoiable function of the grotesque wealth inequality we have in this country and a clear and present danger to our democracy.
So would conservatives *ever* endorse any measures to democratize economic power? Employee ownership incentives, changes to corporate governance and/or corporate personhood, equity-building programs, progressive taxation, workplace democracy, strengthening unions, wealth taxes... is there anything in that list (or anything I'm missing) that folks reading this would support?
I know left and right have very different beliefs about the origins and meaning of wealth, but given that it seems we agree that this is a big problem, I'm just wondering if there's any overlap on thinking about solutions. I know there used to be some pro-labor conservatives and presumably this sort of thing is why.
Start with taxation philosophy
A conversation looking to find common ground on those matters, I would wager, would start with refashioning our taxation philosophy.
There's a lot conservatives would consider if it entailed the abolition of income and property taxes in favor of a consumption tax of some sort. Starting there, I imagine things like an increased gasoline tax and estate tax would get back on the table.
If, though, you are merely interested in redistributing wealth for philosophical egalitarian reasons, you will probably always be disappointed.

A perfect example of what the earlier poster was talking about. You've just advocated redistributing wealth in inegalitarian ways for philosophical reasons. Removing more of the tax burden from those who can more easily afford it and putting it on the backs of those who can't. Consumption taxes (including gas taxes) are regressive; they fall the hardest on those who can least afford them, and drive up the cost of everything. Big oil profiteering throughout the Bush administration (when the "president" was a man from oil who refused to do anything to check the problem) resulted in a theoretical economic "growth" period that, in practice, looked more like a 7-year recession, and drove up the prices of every consumer good that moved via gas-powered conveyance (basically everything). There isn't a lot of room for common ground when everything the conservative pols do is aimed at making their rich financiers even richer at the expense of everyone else. To the earlier poster, conservatism is the ideology of the wealthy and corporate interests; they would be nullifying themselves if they worked against those interests.
Sorry, Charlie. You are grasping...
...and hence clearly not interested in actually having a conversation. Just picking a fight.
There are way too many unknowns in what I presented as a coversation-starter for you to jump to the conclusions you just did,
Sales tax vs. VAT? What mechanism can we put in place to rebate lower income earners? To what items do we apply the consumption tax? How much may labor demand rise due to lower-- non-existent-- corporate taxes? What is the additional income to middle-class home-owners who no longer pay property taxes? How much more efficiently will local governments be able to plan in the absence of wildely fluctuating income and property tax revenues? If conservatives welcome an estate tax in this paradign-- encouraging rich people to consume or invest for the betterment of the economy-- isn't that worth anything?
Whatever you tax, you get less of. Currently, we have too much debt, and not enough jobs. But you insist on taxing wages, and taxing businesses. Granted, I would tax consumption, and our economy is predicated, currently, on the debt-purchase of extraneous crap. But I want to break that cycle. You?
I am interested in fixing our problems with progressive and new(ish) ideas. You seem to be taking pages from the thirties. You well may win the argument, but we'll be worse off for it.
See this is a good example: redistribution for you guys is always about these abstract "philosophical egalitarian" reasons, but there's a pile of evidence suggesting that honest democracy is incompatible with gross inequality. That's not abstract or philosophical, it goes to the survival of our country.
Is there any level of inequality that'd make you want to do something about it? Like, if we had a basically dynastic political system with 30 or 40 families controlling nearly all the wealth, would you want to do something then? Your tea party wing would, I'm pretty sure. And we're not there yet, but we're certainly headed there, and far closer to that than many progressives are comfortable with.
At any rate, I'm less interested in redistribution than in getting the distribution right in the first place, which is why I always thought that at some base level there was a conservative argument in favor of labor. But if not, good to know that there's at least some opening there for consumption & Pigouvian taxes, at least from some quarters.
It's a sad case that
It's a sad case that republicans will not help the middle class. They think they have all the answers by constantly supporting the constitution, federalism, and failed ideologies. After 8 years we know that republicans will never reach the last 20% to 30% of the population.
Here is some of my solutions to some current problems. It should be liked by both democrats and republicans. However, democrats will not go for drilling for oil or nuclear and republicans think my suggestions are too liberal.
Is it the wealthy that have it wrong?
Yes if they were poor instead of wealthy then the poor would not feel as bad because they are doing as well as everybody else. But they still suffer. I think the problem with (humor intended) the poor is that they are not wealthy. Yes, that is a joke, but if the true goal is to build up the poor or reduce poverty, then it is not the wealthy that need to change. Somebody smarter than me once said, 'you can not help the poor by tearing down the rich'.
What is hampering the development of oil reserves in the US? The US uses vast amounts of energy and has energy but instead of using our own energy we purchase it from other countries ... I am not saying that those other countries are not better off with our money and with jobs in energy. But shouldn't we give jobs to citizens of this country instead of creating jobs in China and everywhere else? China needs oil, why don't we sell it to them?
It is not un-Christian to be wealthy. In fact one is expected to give to those in need - How can one give what they do not themselves have?
Wow, Patrick
You usually knock out pretty good posts in which you nevertheless get one or two things spectacularly worng. Here, you've inverted that formula, just as you've inverted reality itself.
The main front in this war is ideological: party leaders in Washington supporting moderates when a conservative can win. See: Crist vs. Rubio or Hoffman vs. Scozzafava.
For conservatives, this trend is just as troubling as national party leaders seeking out moderates in states where a conservative can win.
The caveat about "when a conservative can win" is new, and, if the regular conservative posters here are any indication, pretty much unique to you, as a qualifier. Still, this notion that there's some vast sea of moderates pulling the support of "party leaders in Washington" away from conservatives (or that party leaders seek out such characters) is a fairy tale so disconnected from reality that even children would roll their eyes and groan at its far-fetchedness.
Where are all these so-called "moderates"?
You'll struggle in vain to find them in congress, where the Republican caucus is as far to the right as it has been in the lifetime of anyone reading these words, and has been shedding its moderates for years (in the Senate, Republicans don't have a single member with an ACU rating of something like 82% conservative or higher). The ideological jihadists would have everyone believe the moderates--who are often only "moderate" when placed in comparison with outright fascists--are getting the support, but in the real world, the candidates who get the party backing are almost all very conservative conservatives. The party men back a moderate only grudgingly and when it's clear a conservative can't win, and, in case you missed it, Newt Gingrich (whom no one in their right mind would accuse of having a moderte bone in his body) was proven right by what happened in NY23. The jihadists aren't heroic figures fighting some grand crusade; they're half-witted zealots fencing with phantoms.
Rich candidates tend to be disproportionately moderate themselves, and aren't as accountable to the conservative movement because they don't need our dollars.
And there's another element here that shouldn't be tolerated: corruption. To put it indelicately, when a mega-self-funder gets in, people get bought. Local parties are capitalized to the tune of tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars with endorsements magically appearing shortly thereafter. People who couldn't afford to take salaries before can now take salaries. Others get put on the campaign payroll. Elected officials who've fought hard and risen through the ranks suddenly become fans of political "outsiders", leaving their own integrity and intellectual honesty open to question.
Again, an inversion of reality. You're not battling corruption, here--you're promoting it. A self-financed candidate may be biased by his own, let's call it, class interests, and he usually has some business of his own to whose bottom line he will dutifully tend, but he isn't owned by the sanctioned bribery that is the U.S. campaign finance system. A preference for that means your argument amounts to one that candidates should be bought and sold like stocks, as is now the case. Max Baucus and Chuck Grassley aren't so much Senators as they are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the health care industry. Joe Lieberman is the Senator From Aetna. If, in fact, you want to know where any elected official stands on a given issue, you need only check the source of his financing. That's corruption.
In any system where money rules, conservatives lose.
Yet again, a complete inversion of reality. A money-based system always favors the conservative, because the established interests want to maintain and expand their privileges. The liberals tried to pass health care reform this year, and, as always happens, the big money flowed in and defeated it. Now, instead of health care reform, what's on the table is yet another big right-wing giveaway to corporate America that would, if passed, just end up making it worse for the very people the legislation was initially intended to help. Business as usual.
why is a Senator from CT supporting the insurance biz bad?
Would we expect a CA Senator to bash Hollywood, or a TX Senator to favor banning the use of carbon fuels?
Close to 100K CT residents are supported by the insurance biz. It's not a narrow special interest in this state.
You're serious?
It's not the job of a senator to represent some damn Big Money interest. It's his job to represent his constituents in his state. On a matter like the public option, Lieberman's constituents are overwhelmingly in favor. He's opposed because what passes for his concern for the welfare of the people in his state is something he's willing to sell, and his price has been met.
The message is important
Right now there is a large number of people who feel disenfranchised; in a recent poll 71% feel angry at congress. I suspect that will lead to a very different congress in 2010 - but beyond that to make any long term improvements those who get elected need to deliver improvements or they will become targets of the anger themselves. Hope and Vision are important.
Let me share this song with you - our country is capable of great things because we are a free people and can and do unit around good things. I know if is a religious song, and gives all credit to God - if you are not religious I hope you still enjoy it.
If you want to look up the history of this song, you will find it inspirational from the inner city of Los Angeles - Hope is a free gift from God.
Poverty is a real problem in the US and the current economy is making it worse ... the only solution is real living wage jobs and many need to be trained. People in food lines want to work - Children need to be educated so they are able to enter the job force or become small business owners. We need to have blessing to help those who are unfortunate and need help. Businesses are not evil they employ people!
Counting the losers is a bad metric
One thought after reading the post is that counting the losers is a bad metric.
In an era when 90%+ incumbents run for re-election in Congress and Senate and 90%+ of incumbents that run for re-election win, most candidates lose.
As an example, in the 2008 presidential election there were at least 19 candidates that were included in debates. Of these, two (Clinton and Romney) were self-funders. But, of these 19 candidates, only one candidate could won -- meaning the success rate for non-self funders was about 5.88%, while the rate for self-funders was 0%.
At the end of the day, most candidates lose because there are more candidates that there are offices to hold.
Now for a question.
If you were Chuck Schumer in 2007 and looking at the 2008 Senate election in Texas. Given the fact that in order to win the DSCC and the candidate's campaign need to spend $30-$40 million, and given the option of a movement/netroots progressive (Rick Noriega) who might be able to put together $3-$5 million (with most of the coming from netroots progressives that would otherwise put that money in other races) or a trial lawyer worth more than $100+ million (Mikal Watts) who will immediately put $10 million in and spend at least another $10 million (if not more). Which candidate would you pick?
Schumer picked the self-funder (until he dropped out)...
Money isn't everything, but in some races its the only thing that will give a candidate a chance to win.
Fortunate, Unfortunate, Neutral
Money talks, but is not all powerful. How much is a person on the ground, going door to door worth? How about someone who is making phone calls to their neighbors & friends about a candidate?
Patrick, I do have to make a small correction regarding NY-23. While the MSM & Democrats try mightily to position Dede as a moderate/independent/super-duper cool Republican, in truth she is a far left wing ideolouge who did not come close to mainstream of Republican thought in this district.
At least for 2010, $$$ is going to lose its power to a degree. The intelligent Republican candidate will be part of the TEAparty movement & utilize that energy & passion - of course, the intelligent Republican candidate will need to be authentic in center-right conservative Republican philosophy & values or risk a huge backlash from these same people.
If Dede is so far outside of the mainstream
how is it that she has been serving in the NY state house since 1999?
How many "far left wing ideolouges" have a lifetime "A" rating from the NRA and decade as a Republican state senator?
I guess you incoherence on this points explains why we later find you using the words "intelligent" and teabagger in the same sentence.
At least you spelled incoherence correctly - but don't know the definition. Perhaps you should check out this wonderful site...
Actually, if one takes a few moments to do some research, one will find that many otherwise liberal legislators (especially those in suburban/rural districts) are very careful to keep their high NRA ratings. Why, you ask? The NRA voter guide - they hope that high ratings there & the endorsement (heavily weighted to incumbents) over any opponent will equal votes - which it has for many years. Many of us who are life members of the NRA are pushing for reform of how endorsements are doled out by our group, which should lead to some interesting discussions in the next few years.
As far as Liberal Republicans - Lincoln Chaffee & Arlen Specter used to call themselves Republicans.
Merry CHRISTmas!

Video Archive: Light Up the NorShor 2004
Here we are, ten years later, and the marquee at the NorShor hasn't quite been lit up yet … but it seems like we're getting close.
The "Light Up the NorShor" fashion show fundraiser was held on Feb. 28, 2004. There must be a video of the entire event somewhere; I seem to remember it aired on public access TV. The show was organized by Adeline Wright and Laura Scheu (who became Laura Ness two months later).

Neighbors Against Another Bar on West 10th Street
The State Liquor Authority is considering an application for a new liquor license for another bar in our neighborhood -- in the basement of 141 West 10th Street, which formerly housed Suds Laundromat.
The applicant has misrepresented 141 West 10th as a commercial building in a business district. Our residential street, which is home to 440 apartments, is already oversaturated with bars and restaurants. The residents of West 10th Street do not need or want the noise and trash associated with another bar on our street.
Please sign this petition to urge the State Liquor Authority to deny this application.

Khloe Kardashian Prenup Details And Demands: Could Lamar Odom Cheating Boost Net Worth Of Reality Star? (VIDEO)
With rumors of an impending divorce between Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom growing louder by the day, attention has been turned to the financial arrangements the couple made in the event that they should ever part ways. The couple signed a prenup before they married in 2009, but Kardashian is reportedly thinking of adding extra demands to the agreement.
If Kardashian and Odom divorce, their prenup will keep all their net worth obtained during the marriage separate and make legally splitting fairly easy to pull off. There were allegations of an "infidelity clause" in their prenup, which would entitle Kardashian to more money if Odom cheated on her during the marriage. That detail was particularly noteworthy because three mistresses have come forward with allegations that they had affairs with the basketball star while he was married to Kardashian. However, sources told TMZ that the infidelity clause doesn't exist, and any reports of additional demands by the reality star are untrue.

Although Odom reportedly passed a recent drug test and has been mulling over a return to the NBA, sources close to the situation claim Kardashian feels divorce is "inevitable." With the former NBA star still deep in the throes of a crack cocaine addiction, the couple is now living separately and Kardashian is reportedly refusing to let Odom back into their houses until he seeks help for his drug addiction.
Odom reportedly checked into inpatient rehab earlier this month to address his drug problem, but checked out after less than 24 hours. He was also recently spotted purchasing Chore Boy scrubbing pads, which are a major ingredient in making homemade crack pipes. Despite all of the reports, Odom continues to deny using drugs or having an addiction problem.

The rumors of an impending divorce will be pleasing to Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner, who has apparently been pushing for one for months. "Kris is desperate for Khloe to divorce Lamar. She thinks he is bad news and that Khloe can do much better," a source told Hollywood Life. "He isn't officially signed with any team. He won't go to rehab, and he is a bad influence on Rob [Kardashian]. Kris thinks that Lamar has tarnished the family name with philandering and drug use."
Meanwhile, Kardashian took to Twitter this week to address the ongoing media reports about her marriage. She tweeted: "My Motto Lately…F*ck You. Peps make up whatever THEY want to believe. Would rather stay quiet than have my words twisted."
