Racist? eu must be joking…
There is a well worn truism in the world of marketing: "I know half of my advertising budget is wasted, I just don't know which half."
There is no such doubt with a recent high-budget promotional video by the European Commission that was recently withdrawn, available in today's guardian.
To start with perhaps the only positive feature, I liked the way the lady in yellow representing Europe morphed into one of the stars of the EU flag…there might be a way to rescue some similar device to make the case that we are stronger together, better with more etc…Maybe.
But that concluding trope came at the cost of a shockingly insensitive set of implicit messages. A white woman, dressed in yellow(confusingly, it looked like a reference to the American film, 'Kill Bill') is threatened by three very 'other'-looking men from China, India and Brazil…all of whom look more or less menacing. She represents Europe (White) against the threat from major world players (non-white) and she defends herself by multiplying herself (several White) such that the three non-white characters are 'tamed' into submission. They all sit down, but clearly on the terms of the white majority….
I accept that there are other ways of reading the messages of the video, and I am sure there was no intention to be 'racist'. However, the most pervasive and insidious forms of racism are often subtle in that way. They are about acting on unchallenged assumptions and stereotypes, and perpetuating them as if they are innocent and unproblematic.
Our emphasis on social brain is about acknowledging that pro-social behaviour should be normal(the accepted norm) and natural(arising from our natures) rather than being viewed as a form of deviance from the utility-maximising individualistic model that is often assumed. However, such pro-social behaviour is always relative to our perception of in-groups and out-groups.
'Social' is not good in itself. It is not an honorific term, but a descriptive one, and we need to expand and complexify its range of reference. In this video, by contrast, the expanding European in-group to whom we supposedly belong is narrowed and simplified. The resulting implicit message is in terribly bad taste and I am glad the video has been pulled.

I was concerned when I read that you're more susceptible to kidney disease if your "good" cholesterol is low. What's the connection and what can you do about it?
(Updated 1/25/2005)
Results of a study from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston reported in the August, 2003 issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology showed that apparently healthy men with low HDL ("good") cholesterol, and high LDL ("bad") or cholesterol and triglycerides, have twice the normal risk of reduced kidney function. The study included more than 4,000 initially healthy men whose blood levels were checked an average of 14 years apart. The findings were alarming because reduced kidney function can lead to kidney failure, a chronic life-threatening condition that makes one susceptible to malnutrition, anemia and bleeding, hypertension, seizures, neuropathy, and a host of other dangerous metabolic disorders. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), between 10 and 20 million Americans have early-stage kidney disease. Because failing kidneys often don't cause any obvious initial symptoms, many people have no idea that they're affected. Once detected, controlling one's diet, blood pressure and cholesterol may help slow the loss of kidney function while reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. The only treatments for kidney failure are dialysis and transplant.
A month before the study findings were published, the NIH launched a major study to look at the health of people with chronic kidney disease, in an effort to understand why this condition worsens rapidly in some people and why some are more prone to heart disease than others. The six-year study will recruit 3,000 volunteers at seven medical centers throughout the United States.
In addition to low HDL and high LDL and triglycerides, risks of kidney disease include diabetes, high blood pressure or a history of kidney problems. Risks are higher than average among African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans. If you're at risk, ask your physician for a blood or urine test for kidney disease. If you have low HDL (less than 40 mg/dl) and high non-HDL cholesterol (your total cholesterol minus your HDL is higher than 196.1), you could be at increased risk for kidney disease, according to results of the Brigham and Women's study. You can raise HDL by increasing exercise, drinking alcohol moderately, and eating only healthy fats (monounsaturates such as olive oil and omega-3s from sources like salmon and sardines). Taking prescription statin drugs also will help, although I prefer natural alternatives such as red rice yeast.

White Collar Crime
Internal & Government Investigations
Moe Fodeman, a highly accomplished and recognized trial attorney and investigator, is a partner in the litigation department of the New York office of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. His practice focuses on white collar criminal defense, Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement defense, compliance and regulatory matters, and complex civil litigation. He also conducts internal corporate investigations and advises boards of directors, audit committees, and special committees on sensitive matters involving possible misconduct by corporate personnel.
Moe has held lead or first-chair responsibility in more than 35 jury trials in both federal and state courts, and he has argued frequently before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and New York State Appellate Divisions.

Coordinated replication of eukaryotic genomes is intrinsically asymmetric, with continuous leading strand synthesis preceding discontinuous lagging strand synthesis. Here we provide two types of evidence indicating that, in fission yeast, these two biosynthetic tasks are performed by two different replicases. First, in Schizosaccharomyces pombe strains encoding a polδ-L591M mutator allele, base substitutions in reporter genes placed in opposite orientations relative to a well-characterized replication origin are strand-specific and distributed in patterns implying that Polδ is primarily involved in lagging strand replication. Second, in strains encoding a polε-M630F allele and lacking the ability to repair rNMPs in DNA due to a defect in RNase H2, rNMPs are selectively observed in nascent leading strand DNA. The latter observation demonstrates that abundant rNMP incorporation during replication can be tolerated and that they are normally removed in an RNase H2-dependent manner. This provides strong physical evidence that Polε is the primary leading strand replicase. Collectively, these data and earlier results in budding yeast indicate that the major roles of Polδ and Polε at the eukaryotic replication fork are evolutionarily conserved.

Simple Pie Crust
From Ewbenham Report abuse
This recipe was submitted by a reader and has not been tested in our kitchen.
The trick is to make sure the water is cold so the shortening won't separate. I paid $3 for the dough cutter at my local super center - it doubles nicely as a potato masher. Well worth it!

Planning application guide
The Mayoral Community Infrastructure Levy: Are you affected?
The Mayor of London introduced a London-wide Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) applicable to developments consented on or after 1 April 2012.
CIL is a charge that local authorities and the Mayor of London can set on new development to help pay for community infrastructure. It is intended that the Mayoral CIL will raise £300m towards the delivery of Crossrail.
Community Infrastructure Levy liability
London boroughs act as collecting authorities on behalf of the Mayor, and in Royal Greenwich the Mayoral CIL Charge has been set at £35 per square metre of net additional floorspace. This charge is applicable to developments that consist of buildings people normally visit, where:
- 100 square metres or more of gross internal floor area is added to existing floor area, including residential properties
- a new dwelling is created, even where the additional floor area is below 100 square metres.
The gross floor area of any existing buildings that are to be demolished would be deducted from the final CIL liability. CIL does not apply to:
- buildings that people only visit occasionally, for example a plant that is visited only occasionally for inspections
- development that does not consist of buildings.
Social housing and floorspace to be used for charitable purposes are also exempt from paying the CIL.
To enable the Royal Borough of Greenwich to determine the CIL liability of your application, you will need to complete the Community Infrastructure Levy planning application additional information requirement form as part of your formal submission.
Please note that your planning application will not be validated until the additional information requirement form is completed correctly and returned.
Where a development is found to be liable for CIL a liability notice will be issued detailing the CIL charge.
Payment of the charge will need to be made in accordance with a strict timetable upon commencement of the development, and there will be penalties for non-compliance.

Campus Activities and Orientation (CAO) strives to create innovative programming that fosters individual and community development and that creates an environment where students can connect, engage, and invest in the Augsburg community.
How We Work
CAO recognizes the benefits associated with the first-year experience and student engagement outside of the classroom. We work to enhance and supplement the liberal arts instruction at Augsburg College through quality transitional programs for new students as well as through leadership education.
CAO Program Areas
Campus Activities: CAO offers several programs and activities throughout the academic year designed to connect and engage students with the Augsburg and surrounding community.
Student and Group Leadership Development:
Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is an initiative designed to develop new leadership at Augsburg College by empowering first-year students to cultivate and to apply their inherent leadership skills through a semester-long skill-building training program.
Student Group Development workshops and advising are available on topics ranging from inclusion, recruitment, event planning, meeting facilitation, conflict resolution, and other pertinent areas.
SOAR is a required two-day, overnight orientation experience for incoming first-year students designed to help with the transition to Augsburg College. Students will meet fellow classmates, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources and services; obtain fall semester schedules; and get a taste of life on campus.
Parent SOAR/Evening Parent SOAR is an optional orientation experience for the parents and guardians of first-year students that runs concurrently with their student's SOAR session. Parents will obtain important information about the campus; meet fellow parents, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources and services; and get a taste of what life will be like for their students on campus. Evening Parent SOAR is an abbreviated version of Parent SOAR.
Transfer SOAR is a required day-long orientation experience for transfer students designed to help with the transition to Augsburg College. Students will learn about college resources and services, hear about academic programs, and discover why being a part of the Augsburg community is so rewarding.
Auggie Days is a required week-long orientation experience for incoming first-year students designed to complement SOAR, provide opportunities to enhance academic and personal success, and offer a helpful advantage in starting at Augsburg College.
Student Groups: Students have the opportunity to become involved in a number of different student groups at Augsburg College. Participation allows students to meet fellow classmates, have fun, and lead and develop a group around a common purpose while making an impact on both the Augsburg and greater community.

Navarro Discount Pharmacy has opened a liquor store operation adjacent to one of its drug stores in the Miami Beach area.
Retail News Breaks Archives
MIAMI – Navarro Discount Pharmacy has opened a liquor store operation adjacent to one of its drug stores in the Miami Beach area.
The Hispanic-owned pharmacy chain said the 600-square-foot liquor store, located on Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles, Fla., has a separate entrance and is stocked with Navarro's extensive collection of domestic and imported wines and liquors. "Adding the liquor store in Sunny Isles was a unique opportunity that we decided to take advantage of," Cristy Leon-Rivero, vice president of marketing for Navarro, said in a statement. "It is also another way for us to continue to serve our customers and offer the [discount] value proposition they are accustomed to at Navarro."
Navarro also has launched a Spanish-language version of its Navarro.com website. Visitors click on the 'En Español' link at the top of the home page to change the site language to Spanish.
The company said Navarro.com En Español includes video and rich media content on family- and health-related topics as well as product reviews, prescription management tools and e-commerce purchasing capabilities for all of the retailer's signature products. Customers can refill prescriptions, check order status and buy unique products such as Cuban coffee, pastelitos, ethnic cookies, Cuban bread and domino tables, along with over-the-counter and beauty care items.
The chain's full Vida Mia private-label bilingual product line, which includes over 300 SKUs, is also available via Navarro.com En Español.
Earlier this year, the drug chain opened its 31st store, in Pembroke Pines, Fla. The outlet is part of the retailer's three-year, 22-store expansion strategy throughout the state.

Espinel returns to his condominium in Plaza Venetia as rush-hour traffic clogs Biscayne Boulevard and the homeless window washers take out their rags and spray bottles to prepare for the arrival of potential customers. He has many obligations in the weeks ahead: He will speak personally with each Dade County commissioner about a league-proposed ordinance that would require developers to give the public an opportunity to help plan both the location and appearance of major buildings. He will try to organize league members to speak at an April 8 county commission meeting on the arena proposal. And he'll be offering the league's technical support to Coral Gables residents and city commission members, who will soon vote on the construction of a new supermall.
Not everyone welcomes the league's participation. Espinel invited Miami Heat president Jay Cross and port director Carmen Lunetta to the Municipal Art Society workshop. Neither attended. Architect Roberto Espejo, an associate of Cesar Pelli, the acclaimed architect who heads the performing arts center design team, worries that allowing another party such as the league into deliberations about planning the various projects will delay their eventual construction. "Miami is made up of a lot of self-appointed kind of groups and people who get involved," he says. "We think it's great. Often, though, these groups work independently of what other groups are doing. It gets nutty."
Espejo may have reason to bristle at the possibility of further public intervention. For more than a decade the Performing Arts Center Trust has sought community input about the location, objectives, and design of its performance halls. Pelli was selected only after an exhausting seven-day charrette in which four groups of architects met with musicians, dancers, singers, arts administrators, and neighbors.
Espinel also attended those sessions and believes they could be models for designing future projects. But before the Urban Environment League can hope to influence such complex procedures, it clearly needs a broader base of support, many more members who, like Espinel, believe there is still hope for Miami. "The group needs participation, it needs people," Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk says. "In order to be effective, the group needs to be really diverse. It especially needs people who think they are not experts."
Thus far Espinel has been successful in recruiting members who already have been vocal advocates for public parks and sensible development. Now, he realizes, he must broaden his reach to attract support from the ordinary citizens whose quality of life will forever be affected by the way government bureaucrats plan and develop their surroundings.

I bought one of these filters to replace the old worn out oiled K&N Filter that was 1 1/2 years old. I wanted a filter without oil. oily filters sometimes foul out the mass air sensor. So I did some research and came across this AEM. The dimensions were similar to the K&N; a little shorter but lighter because it doesn't have oil. If you want a filter without the oily residue; you need to buy an AEM Filter for your ride.

NBA Records that will NEVER be broken [infographic]
November 11, 2013 by infographicworld
We know, we know. Never say never. In many cases, that is the case. However, we think it's safe to say that these NBA records will never be broken. Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest player to ever play the game, still was over 6,000 points short of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most points ever scored. That's how insane Jabbar's record is. Not even M.J. came close. Lebron is not likely to ever get close either because of his focus on an overall game of passing and rebounding and not just scoring, but I digress…
Check out our most recent infographic to see some other records we feel will NEVER be broken in the NBA.

Maranello, 27 August – The Italian Grand Prix is always a special event for Scuderia Ferrari and all its fans: it's our home race, and here more than anywhere else, the support of those who have the Prancing Horse close to their hearts can make the difference.
In a novel approach to the twelfth round of the 2013 World Championship, www.ferrari.com will run two special on-line features starting this afternoon. The first is "Top 10 @Monza," where we look back at the ten most significant races from our history at this circuit and the second is "Postcard from Monza," in which a variety of people at the Scuderia will tell us what this race and this circuit means to them.
Thus we will pay tribute to a race which, even if it only carries the same points as all the rest, is something special. Winning at Monza has a feeling all of its own and that's something we can be absolutely sure about, having done it eighteen times already!

of dual-use technologies. These papers are included in this publication; the agenda and participants are included in Appendix 2.
The third and final meeting in the program took place in Moscow and St. Petersburg, December 12-20, 1992. It focused on the export control issues surrounding three important technologies with applications in both the civilian and military sectors: advanced materials, optoelectronics, high-speed computing. The NAS delegation included experts in export control as well as the specific technologies discussed. The Russian delegation included key representatives of both the Russian military and scientific communities.
In preparation for the meeting, both Academies commissioned case studies in the three technology areas described above. These case studies are included in the text of this publication. In addition, both delegations prepared a joint statement which was released in April 1993 after endorsement by both Academies and is included here. The joint statement makes recommendations to the governments of the respective academies in three broad areas: access to technologies of proliferation concern, national security concerns, and confidence-building measures.

Floyd Co. ballots nearly devoid of challengers to incumbents
Floyd County elections appear to be a rather dull affair so far this year, as all county officers are as of yet running unopposed.
According to officials with the Floyd County Clerk's Office, no one has filed to run against the incumbents in the commonwealth's attorney, circuit clerk or district judge races. Arnold Brent Turner, Douglas Hall and Jimmy "Blue†Marcum have all filed to resume their respective posts, but have yet to see a challenger. State records indicate that Speaker of the House Greg Stumbo has yet to file, but is expected to file soon. Sen. Johnny Ray Turner and Rep. Hubert Collins are also running unopposed for their respective seats in the legislature.
Any prospective candidate for these races has until Tuesday to file. The one contested race on the ballot is for Supreme Court, as Janet Stumbo seeks to regain her place on the bench by beating the man who unseated her, Will T. Scott. There are several city and school board races to be had in the fall, though the deadline for those is in August.

I've got plans for Austin Writes Music in the coming year. First, you might notice that the "About Me" page has been updated. I've finally decided to declare this my own personal music blog, since I've only ever had one other contributor since I founded this thing in 2009 (although she is written into history forever as our fabulous site designer. Thank you, Brittany!) You'll be getting regular posts once more, with recommendations, reviews, and general music-based musings, and I hope you like all of it. For now, let's look back at what was truly a stellar year for music, and life in general. I give to you, Austin Writes Music's Top 10 of 2013.

I don't know how to write this review. I had five paragraphs written that I trashed, because they had this impersonal sheen to them that didn't do justice to the glory of a Paul McCartney live show. I've been trying to write some heady-but-relatable review that includes anecdotes without being specifically from my perspective, but that's the thing about absolutely brilliant music. It helps you transcend your everyday filters and the separation you might feel from your core, and really lets you be yourself, in the moment, experiencing all that is happening around you. And when a musician has been performing for 55 years for stadium crowds, it is a safe bet that their live show will reach that transcendence.

If you're a human, which I'll go ahead and assume you are*, your brain can get kinda funked up with stuff. You can hold strong beliefs that you're worth something just as you are and then be bombarded with messages from the outside culture that, in fact, no, you need about 100 different products and 6 different diets and even then, you must always strive for perfection and, as Lowe's has taught us, "never stop improving." Our standard of "acceptable person" seems to be to basically disappear inside of ourselves like so many black holes while we blind ourselves to the fact that the earth is hurting and we come from it, so we should probably give a shit. Between our high expectations for events and holidays and our own futures, and our crippling self-doubt and anxiety, and some deep-seated guilt thrown in for good measure — it can feel a bit like we're all just Han Solo trapped in carbonite, but in our own minds. Speaking for myself, I know that every day, I live about 99% of it in a state of distraction. Since mindfulness is hard work and can lead to feeling difficult feelings because, you know, those exist, I just float around outside of myself, barraging myself with criticisms cloaked in the thought that this will be somehow "motivating" when it never, ever is. Turns out, it's actually self-defeating.
Knowing all of this has freed just a couple of fingers from the carbonite, just enough to hold a tiny pick so I can start escaping my self-imposed prison. The light seems to break through my numbness most of all when I can be in a state of mindfulness, and Sigur Ros takes me to that state every time.

The goober-est of goobers. Full amazingness here.
When South by Southwest began in 1987 — coincidentally, the year (and week) I was born — it was started as a music industry convention to allow new and up-and-coming artists to be discovered, and to allow journalists and label reps to network. 26 years later, and it has been co-opted by music fans as a giant discovery festival, by college students as a free-drinks-ahoy spring break location, by brands as a cultural capital trade show (giant Dorito's vending machine stage, anyone?) and by well-established artists as a place to try out new music and simply cause a commotion. Because of this, expectations continue to skyrocket each year, causing many to feel disappointed by their experience. If you want one festival in a wonderful but, admittedly, comparatively small city to be all things to all people, it's going to get a bit nuts.
Each year, as the festival approaches, I can feel my stress levels rise, getting caught up in the madness with everyone and fearing that I won't get into the best shows, the most exciting parties. I RSVP to 300 parties (a conservative estimate) and attend about 7. I scramble to listen to as many new bands as possible, and usually end up prioritizing artists I already know I adore.
This year was different. This year, I decided it was time to get in sync with the festival. I managed to scour almost all new artists coming to Austin, and discovered about three dozen I was excited about. As the festival finally arrived, I took a figurative and literal deep breath, and leaned back to ride the wave.

Because of how wonderful Austin's community of musicians, photographers, artists, venues and of course music fans are, our Free Week showcase at Swan Dive co-hosted by CoolinAustin went off swimmingly, despite the nasty weather.
From the first note played, y'all filled up the room to make it cozy-warm, and our wonderful representatives from HAAM allowed this Free Week show to stand for something wonderful and give back to the musicians who are devoting their time and artistry to two weeks of face-melting awesome.
The Collection, our only "foreign" band (from Greensboro, NC) kicked things off gorgeously, with haunting harmonies and raucous folk that made me think of some kind of Decemberists-Frightened Rabbit lovechild.
The Baker Family brought incredible energy, pretty melodies and haunting guitar playing, along with their merch table-baby carriage, and were definitely a crowd favorite, as sing/multi-instrumentalist Liz donned her fox(bear? panda?) mask for added theatricality. Plus, they devoted a song to the Collection called "Sharpening the Saw:" "The drive to the mountains seems so far/Making our way back to North Carolina."
With a lineup change infusing fresh energy into their sound, Your Friendly Ghost sound better than ever, and they treated us to their hits, some new jams, and a killer Radiohead cover that took some guts and a touch of recklessness — exactly what these guys do best. They floored attendees and acquired new fans for their sound and their fury.
Last but never, ever least, the Couch brought fire to a cold and rainy night, and closed things out with a bang. As always, they were raucous, gritty and awesome.
For our silent auction, we raised $200 that will all be going straight to HAAM, and we couldn't be more thankful. Special thanks go out to Katherine Squier and Pooneh Ghana for donating their gorgeous photos, and to the Alamo Drafthouse for their generous gift card donation.
AWM Presents: Favorite Albums of 2012

It's that magical list-y time of year again, and when I began to think about who to put on my "Favorites of 2012″ list, I was honestly a little disheartened. It took me a long time to even think up 10 contenders, let alone contenders I was even familiar with. I knew who would be in my top 5 fairly easily, but beyond that, it seemed like a wasteland. I sat, sadly envious as I watched other respected bloggers come up with huge lists of the top 50 records they'd found this year, and worried that I wouldn't be able to confidently and comfortably supply something so supple.
I spent much of this year catching up with new favorite music from 2011 — the Drums' Portamento, M83's Hurry Up, We're Dreaming and old Los Campesinos! albums. I played these on repeat (as my boyfriend can attest), so I didn't have much time for "new" new music. But, after digging through, and truly spending time with, what 2012 had to offer, I realized I'd overlooked some incredible music and came to adore my favorites even more. My list's order hopped around a few different times, but I feel good about where it has all settled out. I especially love how many amazing ladies I've got on this list.
I hope this list helps you realize the splendor of 2012 music, and perhaps helps you discover some year-end favorites for yourself.

There was an avalanche of rock at Holy Mountain on Saturday night. The Couch packed the house with fans and a who's-who of Austin musicians, proving that they not only appeal to the general public, but also are greatly beloved by their peers.
The four piece owned the now-larger Holy Mountain stage, performing with confidence and joy. The whole venue seemed transformed by their release show, with a section partitioned off for a "couch" photo shoot, and an incredible free silent auction table boasting goodies like a specialized Couch-friendly necklace and a prize package from the AV Club.
Still, the music took center stage. The sound filled the room as the band shot through their debut album. Single "Oh, Libby" perked up the most ears, as its familiar lilting guitar riff floated through the air. "Aphrodite," however, was the song I found myself singing on my bike road home and through the next morning, with the catchy pre-chorus punctuated by the music.
The night ended young and the Couch left their audience wanting more. They played tons of tunes off of the new record, but even debuted a newer-than-new song led by songstress Sara Houser.
It was a great moment for the Couch, feeling almost like their Quinceañera, the moment where they were just picking up the wave, heading toward a crest. They're a band to watch, a band to hear and a band to love.
Relive the night by purchasing the Couch's self-titled debut here.
The Couch Rising: Self-titled album release show Saturday at Holy Mountain
- Nov, 29 2012

- Review, What's Going On
- No comments
The Couch are cranking out rock tunes to turn your head, and if you haven't tuned in yet, here's your chance. They are releasing their self-titled debut album at Holy Mountain this Saturday, and if you consider yourself a fan of rock 'n' roll you must attend.
From start to finish, The Couch is raucous, catchy and quirky in the best of ways. It starts off with an explosion of fiery guitar prowess that breaks up opener "Aphrodite," and doesn't slow down from there. Guitarist and vocalist Taylor Wilkins is especially heartfelt on "Ghost," where his vocals intertwine with a mess of distorted guitars, and his call-and-response with killer vocalist Sara Houser give a great balance to the tune. "Oh, Libby" is the best match to Wilkins' vocals, acting as a spunky, upbeat change to the rest of the album's darker undertones. The twinkly guitars scream "summertime," so it'll warm you all through the winter.
Sara Houser's star truly shines brightest on this record. Her voice is sweet and passionate to counteract a grungy, stripped "Kick the Can," both complimentary and unexpected. On "Ratchet," she is delightfully powerful, dark and threatening all at once. "Ducks in a Row" is equally dark, and turns almost space-rock-y near the end.
The album plays with eerie tunes in the middle, but is bookended by power and fun, which makes it very listenable and offers relief after heavier tracks. Were you looking for the next big thing in Austin, Texas? It's the Couch, and they won't take this sitting down.
To see for yourself, head for Holy Mountain this Saturday at 9PM. Featherface and our favorites Royal Forest open, so get there early.
Riding the roller coaster with Paul McCartney in Houston
- Nov, 18 2012

- Musings, Review

I didn't know what I was in for. I couldn't have even comprehended it if I wanted to. Had I not been dating a guy who likes to rank his "must see before I die" acts, I honestly would not have thought to travel three hours to Houston, Texas to see Paul McCartney. It's not because I didn't want to, by any means. I think in my mind, I thought of McCartney as an almost novelty act. I knew he was incredibly talented, and even though my favorite Beatle person-wise is Ringo (yes, believe it), I knew he was a songwriting genius and still sounded solid at the age of 70. But if I'm being honest, I thought of a Paul McCartney show the same way I think of a Bob Dylan or Robert Plant show at this point. I'm always humbled to be in the presence of a legend, but it's not their heyday. Two of the Beatles are gone, so I knew I'd never be able to see the whole unit the way I'd want to.
In fact, I hesitate to name the Beatles my favorite band of all time for that very reason. The live show is so important to me that it's hard for me to conceptualize a band as my all-time favorite if I haven't experienced the power of their in-person performance. Even though the Beatles are a band that literally helped me to grow up — Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour and, of course, Abbey Road were formative albums that forced me to move past my candy-pop-and-top-40-only stage — for some reason, the idea of Paul alone just didn't hold the same weight as the idea of building a time machine and going back to the time of screaming, fainting fan girls and riotous excitement.
But then, I found myself buying tickets for Sir Paul as a birthday gift to my boyfriend, and as the date approached, I began to really try to wrap my brain around what was going to happen. I was going to go watch, live, in person, a man who is one of the most famous people on Earth, who has changed millions of lives with his music and his message, who has experienced the turmoil of the 60s in person, who has lived among legends, who has befriended people who appear in my mind more like book characters, because they are too famous to humanize.
Even still, as we drove on to Houston, I was in a haze. It was as if I was going to go watch some movie, or play, or show put on inside of a glass box, separate from myself.

A lot has been said of the narcissistic culture of the Millennials. It's tough to get a totally clear picture of what, exactly, this culture means because we're all still in it. But there are a few emerging trends that we can comfortably chalk up to the phenomenon:
- Talking at concerts. There have always been talkers at shows, particularly when you start to introduce booze into the mix of nighttime fun and dancing. But there is a self-obsessed, oblivious emergence of this concert sin that has become maddening for any fans of music. Concerts, apparently, have become an event that you must be seen at and attend for cultural collateral, not because you really love the band. Maybe it's because those of us who really do just love the bands succumbed to the "crossed arms" method of passively enjoying shows that allowed these Chatty Cathy's-and-Charles' to move to the fore. Regardless, they are starting to take over, moving to the front rows and screaming over the sound about their days and relationships and whatever else comes to their minds.
- Short attention spans. Apparently, our "me, me, me!" generation needs constant stimulation or else they deem an activity unworthy of their time. This can lead to phenomenon number 1.
- Ever-present fashion shows. You never know when someone is going to finally "discover" you and make you insta-famous, right? YOLO, you guys, so you might as well dress like there's no tomorrow that doesn't include Lady Gaga! Everyone not only assumes they will became famous for no reason, they demand fame because they feel they deserve it. Entitlement at its worst. I blame you, Snookie.

Despite deaths, Muslim Brotherhood vows to continue protests in Egypt
CAIRO (CNN) — The Muslim Brotherhood said Thursday that nothing will stop its "glorious revolution" in Egypt -- not even the deaths of more than 500 people killed in the country's bloodiest day in recent history.
"We will continue our sit-ins and demonstrations all over the country until democracy and the legitimate rule are restored in Egypt," said Essam Elerian, a senior member of the Islamist movement.
Egypt's short-lived experiment with democracy took a gruesome turn Wednesday, culminating in mass carnage and a return to the repressive state of emergency that had gripped the country for 30 years.
Exactly what sparked the bloodshed depends on who you ask.
Protesters in Cairo who support ousted President Mohamed Morsy said security forces waged a "full-on assault" on what they said had been peaceful demonstrations calling for Morsy's restatement. Many of the protesters also support the Muslim Brotherhood.
Egypt's interim government, however, said it was trying to disperse protesters peacefully -- but had to retaliate when some protesters turned violent.
CNN journalists on the ground said many of the protesters injured or killed were unarmed.
By the end of the day, at least 525 people were killed and more than 3,700 injured in clashes in the country Wednesday, the health ministry said.
Those killed include 43 police officers, the interior ministry said.
It was the bloodiest day since the 2011 revolution to oust Morsy's predecessor, Hosni Mubarak.
A tense calm
The violence spilled over into Thursday, with state-run TV reporting Morsy supporters attacking police stations, hospitals and government buildings in areas outside Cairo.
But Cairo streets were relatively calm Thursday morning -- partly due to Egypt's new state of emergency.
The military-backed interim government declared a month-long state of emergency Wednesday, which bars people from gathering without prior permission and lets police jail them indefinitely.
It's the kind of stifling police state that the nation lived through under Mubarak -- before he was thrown out of office in a popular uprising in 2011.
The tumult left other countries uneasy.
France and Germany have summoned the Egyptian ambassadors to their countries to discuss the turmoil. And Pope Francis deplored the violence.
"We pray together for peace, dialogue and reconciliation in that beloved land and in the whole world," the pope said Thursday.
And the United States is considering canceling next month's planned biennial military training exercise with Egyptian forces, a presidential administration official said.
The raid
Security forces raided the pro-Morsy camps Wednesday after weeks of simmering tension. Clashes and gunfire broke out, leaving pools of blood and bodies strewn all over the streets.
Authorities bulldozed tents and escorted hundreds of people away. Some mothers and fathers managed to whisk away their children, gas masks on their faces.
The dead included cameraman Mick Deane, who'd worked for UK-based news channel Sky News for 15 years and for CNN before that.
But the fighting wasn't limited to the capital.
Morsy supporters reportedly besieged churches in Sohag, setting fire to Saint George's Church, a tour bus and a police car, state media reported.
At least 84 people, including Muslim Brotherhood members, have been referred to military prosecutors for charges including murder and the burning of churches, the state-run EGYNews site reported.
But protesters vowed to remain defiant until Morsy is reinstated.
Elerian, the senior Muslim Brotherhood member, said he's not deterred by calls for his arrest.
"They can arrest me and 100 of us, but they can't arrest every honorable citizen in Egypt," Elerian told CNN Thursday. "They can't stop this glorious revolution."
Morsy's rise, fall
Morsy, a former leader in the Muslim Brotherhood, became Egypt's first democratically elected president in 2012. He replaced Mubarak, who kept a firm grip on power for 30 years.
But rather than uniting Egypt after Mubarak's fall, divisions intensified during his time as president.
Critics accused him of being authoritarian, trying to force the Muslim Brotherhood's Islamic agenda on the country and failing to deliver freedom and justice.
Morsy's supporters say the deposed president wasn't given a fair chance, and say his backers have been unfairly targeted for expressing their opinion.
Though Morsy has not appeared in public since he was taken into custody, his supporters have amassed on the streets nationwide to slam military leaders and demand his reinstatement.
More setback
Even Egypt's interim government suffered a major setback after the raid.
Mohammed ElBaradei -- a secular leader who was one of Morsy's biggest critics -- submitted his resignation Wednesday as vice president.
ElBaradei said he didn't agree with the decisions carried out by the ruling government and "cannot be responsible for a single (drop of) blood."

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- It's the final day of the legislative session, and Illinois lawmakers still have to deal with the state's biggest issues.
There's no finalized plan to address the state's nearly $100 billion pension crisis. The Senate has defeated a House-backed overhaul, and a union-backed proposal is sitting in a committee.
Those involved in talks on legalizing the concealed carry of weapons say they're ironing out details with a compromise, but it hasn't been revealed publicly yet.
Before Friday ends, lawmakers may also take votes to legalize same-sex marriage, on a gambling expansion proposal and on a plan that would regulate high-volume oil and gas drilling in Illinois.
Lawmakers also need to approve a budget Friday.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Like the Guggenheim, this Midtown museum, which opened in 2001, is as notable for its building as for its collections. The exterior is a patchwork of bronze alloy panels that change hue according to the position of the sun; the interior is a series of open spaces dramatically illuminated by skylights. The 4,000-object collection spans 300 years of folk art, including intricate quilts, weather vanes, and paintings.

America's Cup: Smiles break ice at Skippers Media Conference
Sat, 6 Jul 2013
Despite their much published differences, and hard words, it was almost all sweetness and light between the four America's Cup skippers at the Media Conference to open the 2013 America's Cup Regatta.
The full video replay is included in this story.
<: embed_code :>
Key points from the Conference came from Iain Percy, skipper of Artemis Racing who disclosed that they had received a lot of help from the teams, but the boat was not ready to sail. In fact it was currently upside down in the Artemis Racing shed, and was undergoing stress testing ahead of a launch, and would not be a couple of weeks yet. The team is working seven days a week and 24 hours a day to get back racing. Structural testing will start next week. 'Some big loads are going to be put through our yacht', he said.
Sitting alongside Regatta Director, Iain Murray, Luna Rossa skipper Max Sirena said the Murray was 'one of the people I respect the most in this game. This is nothing personal with him,' Sirena added. 'I have to do the best for my team. I just want to say something simple - I think it is unfair to change the class rules a week before the event.'
With that comment and big smiles all around, Sirena turned and shook the Regatta Director's hand. To which Murray added 'I agree!'
The good humour continued with the next question from founder of the Louis Vuitton Cup, Bruno Trouble, asking if the Jury Meeting could be bought forward a day, and that Luna Rossa could then race?
'I like this question!' Sirena quickly interjected.
Murray's response was a little guarded, saying that there was an application before the Jury to hear Luna Rossa's protest before Sunday, and that the Jury was still assessing that Application.
(Generally if there are two Applications or protests on the same point they will be heard together.)
The issue of whether boats would have to sail the course in uncontested races to get the point. Murray revealed that in that situation, if the boat was sailing in an unsafe situation - with the winds close to the wind limit - whether the Race Committee should be able to declare a winner.
Iain Percy responded for Artemis Racing, said that they were very happy for other teams to be awarded the point to be awarded to the other boat in their Match when there was an uncontested sail-over. Artemis Racing were very cognisant of the dangers of teams sailing in an uncontested race in marginal conditions, with Percy adding the comment that he believed that it was almost more dangerous to sail in that state than in a race. 'With our experience we would hate to see a boat sailing around alone, and we are happy for the point to be awarded to the other team.'
'First and foremost it has to be a safe competition, that is something that is very important to use. We have to measure in within the current rules to get out there. After that we are happy to let everyone fight amongst themselves.'
For Luna Rossa, Max Sirena ruled out the possibility of Luna Rossa dropping out of the Regatta if the International Jury ruled against them after their Protest Hearing. 'We are here to race, the reason we are not racing on Sunday is from a principle point of view,' he explained.

[Android] Kronia Browser is a fast, simple, and lightweight web browser
Posted By Kent On January 24, 2014 @ 8:57 AM In Android | No Comments
[1]When it comes to internet mobile browsing, one of the most important things that you should consider is the speed and reliability of your mobile browser. Come to think of it, no user would ever like to browse the web like it would take forever. Unfortunately, not all browsers are fast and reliable enough to suit your needs. Of course, there are also those that you can truly depend on. Speaking of which, let's find out if Kronia Browser has what it takes to provide you with a pleasant and productive mobile browsing experience.
Main Functionality
Kronia Browser is a simple and lightweight mobile browser that is fully compatible with Android tablets and smartphones. Just like today's most commonly used mobile browsers, it basically allows you to access the Internet and browse your favorite websites and blogs. It also flaunts a simple and non-obtrusive user interface that supports multi-tabbed browsing, incognito browsing and bookmarks. In addition to this, Kronia Browser also uses side panels to view and manage your recently opened tabs.
[2]For avid Android users, it is very important for them to be able to browse the web without any annoying glitches or errors. The speed and stability of the browser also matters. Of course, no one would ever want to browse the web with super slow page loading time. It is also very important to have a browser that is lightweight and easy to use. Well, it's not like there aren't good mobile browsers out there that would suit your needs and preferences. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of them. It's just that there are times when you would feel that it would rather be best for you to have a browser that doesn't have too much of everything and yet, still reliable enough to give you a speedy performance that is free from glitches and lags. This is what the Kronia Browser is all about.
In other words, Kronia Browser takes the concept of simplicity in an entirely different perspective. It's simple yet very reliable. It can quickly open and load web pages (even those that are loaded with heavy graphics) plus it even supports incognito browsing so you can search the web privately without leaving any trace on your browser's search history. Other than this, this mobile browser also supports multi-tab browsing allowing you to open and leave other tabs in the background.
[3]Design wise, I like the fact that this mobile browser sports a responsive minimalist UI that supports simple gesture controls. It is also important to note that unlike other browsers, the address bar of Kronia Browser is located at the bottom and it automatically hides itself when not in use. If you want to open it back, just do a quick swipe down on the screen. To view and manage your opened tabs, just swipe to the left side of your screen and if you want to access your bookmarks, just swipe to the right side of your screen. If you want to switch in between tabs, just do a two-finger side swipe to view your other tabs.
So far, I haven't experienced any serious issues with this browser. It's actually very fast and stable. It's also user-friendly and it wouldn't take a long time before you can fully get accustomed to its gesture controls. I just noticed that whenever I search for specific sites such as Google, YouTube and even Tumblr, the browser shows the search results in Italian and not in English. Nonetheless, this is just a minor issue that doesn't really have a major effect to its user's overall browsing experience (although, I have to admit that it is slightly inconvenient).
If you are looking a good alternative for your device's native mobile browser, I highly recommend that you give Kronia Browser a try. It's a fast, stable, lightweight and user-friendly mobile browser that you can use anytime. So go ahead and check it out.

5 Pretty much perfectCarnivac | 04/01/2008 | See all Carnivac's reviews (29)I've owned nearly every home version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 and this has to be my favorite. It has the most modes (including a great Marvel Vs Capcom style mode where you can switch between two characters at any time during a fight), the most characters and it's portability means it's a far better buy than the cut down GBA version. I've heard people complain that the controls on the older PSP make this game hard to play, but I have a Slim and have no problem whatsoever performing the special moves with the d-pad and even the analog thumbstick. The original game is pretty old now, but the graphics still look great, the gameplay classic and the announcer... well he's still annoying but after all this time it wouldn't seem right to remove that. My favorite fighting game by far on the PSP and on any format seeing as how I can carry this in the PSP around in my jacket pocket. A superb conversion. Cheers Capcom for this game, and to Play.com for the bargain price.
5 Old School!comradedan | 30/04/2008 | See all comradedan's reviews (21)After a recent PSP purchase I decided to invest in this game and I am glad I did, this is by far the best version of Street Fighter available in terms of characters, options and modes. The graphics still look great, the gameplay is perfect and unlike others I have had no problems at all with the special moves - a must have for fighting game fans.
5 MOTHER OF ALL FIGHTING GAMES IS BACK!!! STREET FIGHTER!PREDATOR3 | 07/03/2008 | See all PREDATOR3's reviews (16)I recently brought a PSP Slim/Lite & when i found out that Street Fighter was out on PSP i just had to buy it. I played nearly all the old Street Fighter games dating back to Snes,GBA,PS1,PS2. The PSP one is great with loads of new opitions,graphics are brill!,sound is top. You will not regret buying this game for your PSP if you are Street Fighter fan this game is for you!!!Now we gotta wait for Street Fighter 4 for PS3 :DHADOUKEN!!!
5 Classic fighter reborn on PSPDavetheone | 31/01/2008 | See all Davetheone's reviews (3)This is a near perfect port of one of the best fighting games ever created. There are vast amount of modes you can play through and the graphics are superb.Highly recomended.
4 Great, but...LaChic | 27/03/2008 | See all LaChic's reviews (1)Excellent game. Special moves can be tricky to pull off on the original PSP - haven't played on the slim PSP. Original SF2 soundtrack is missing though. I was so looking forward to hearing the music from back in the day. Oh well...

[More of a story/catharsis than an actual poem with a theme, but if you can find a theme, tell me!]
black—too close to lack
to be a comfortable word.
black like your unchallenged hair,
running in waves and rivulets
across your lonely head.
black as in the night
when i ran into streetlamp shadows
and practiced sonnets with the pebbles,
that knew the words as well as you did.
black in the dimple of my pillow,
cupping my tears and scratching my cheeks;
you saw the black of eyelid drapes,
sheltering a sleep some twelve or thirteen miles away,
where you dreamed of yourself and no one else and your beautiful black hair.
Man you're effin amazing at writing. I'm still in love with the "I am not a fag" poem you wrote, that was unbelievably good. :)
And this poem/story makes me think of my sister because she has really pretty black hair and is an arrogant bitch who probably does dream about herself..
THEME: Boy runs out of things to do before summer vacation ends and so winds up with too much time on his hands during which to ponder the general unfairness of life.
How's that?

Emeli Sande, Rizzle Kicks, Alexandra Burke and Little Mix were amongst the musical stars who managed to get their mitts on an invite to the 2012 pre-BRIT Awards dinner, sponsored by Raymond Weil and man-of-the-moment Labrinth.
Alexandra Burke spoke of her excitement at attending the BRITs and how proud she is to be a part of the British music scene.
The stunning singer said: "I was that girl who used to sit at her TV and go "Mum, one day I want to attend those BRITs," and it's just amazing to be a part of it all.
"In terms of music I think the BRITs are ruling the universe and it makes me proud to be a Brit.
Speaking of her X Factor win back in 2008, Alexandra said: "The X Factor changed my life drastically. It's been four years since I won the show and that time has gone so fast."
Keen to offer advice to 2011 winners Little Mix, who also attended the event, she added: "For Little Mix the challenge they face is you've just got to make sure you enjoy yourself and make great music that you'll love to perform in 50 years time."
Judging by the grin on their faces at the bash, the 'Little muffins' appear to be having a ball.
Perrie said "we're doing something we absolutely love," while bandmate Jade was a little distracted by the presence of Labrinth, who she "loves."
The BRITs 2012 take place on February 21 and Olly Murs has been added to the performers line-up alongside Adele, Rihanna, Coldplay, Bruno Mars and many more.

Europeans accuse Berlin of using the euro crisis to boost German power.
BERLIN, Germany — It may have been a bad idea to send a German. And his name certainly didn't help matters.
When Horst Reichenbach arrived in Athens recently to head a new European Union task force to help the country deal with its debt, the Greek media instantly dubbed him "Third Reichenbach."
Cartoons appeared of him in Nazi uniform. A Greek tabloid showed a photo of his office with the headline: "The new Gestapo headquarters."
The Greeks are not alone in harboring suspicions toward Germany, which occupied the country during World War II. The British conservative press is up in arms. The Daily Mail went so far as to accuse the Germans of attempting to use the euro crisis to "conquer Europe" and establish a "Fourth Reich." Meanwhile in Poland, Germany's supposed imperial ambitions became an issue in the recent elections.
And as the euro crisis has deepened, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has pushed for the EU to have a greater say in the domestic governance of the euro zone's seventeen members. Among other measures, she has called for real European power over countries' budgets.
Related: Euro zone crisis erodes democracy
With Italy now getting sucked into the debt spiral, Merkel has warned that deep structural reforms were needed quickly. "That will mean more Europe, not less Europe," she has said repeatedly, most recently on Monday at a meeting of her conservative Christian Democratic party. Likewise, party members reportedly want more power for Germany in the European Central Bank, by changing its voting system so that it is based on economic strength. Currently, each member country has one vote.
Here's the rub: when the German leader calls for greater European power and influence, pretty much everyone interprets that to mean German power and influence. As the richest and most populous country in the union, Germany's influence vastly overshadows that of the Brussels-based eurocrats.
Indeed, when people have a beef about the EU, they no longer complain about Brussels. They complain about Berlin.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. On the contrary, after World War II, a major impetus for creating the European Union was that it would curb German power. Countries that had waged war against each other twice would tie their economies so closely together that future conflict would be impossible.
A similar calculation helped fuel the rise of the euro zone. As the price for accepting German reunification, the French president at the time, Francois Mitterrand, demanded that Germany give up its precious deutschmark and commit to a common currency. The goal was to buffer German power, not to bolster it.
Reluctant hegemony
In practice, while the member states big and small always had a supposedly equal say, the heart of the union has long been the Franco-German relationship. From the outset, Germany was to provide the economic firepower, and France the political leadership. That was how the Germans like it.
"Germans tended to lead from behind, and allow the French symbolically to occupy a major role," said William Paterson, professor of German politics at Aston University in the UK. Now, however, the French economy appears increasingly shaky, with its banks deeply exposed to the debt of weak peripheral countries. Paris is desperately attempting to hold on to its coveted triple-A credit rating. The traditional relationship has tilted power toward Germany.
For all the talk of "Merkozy," it's increasingly clear that the German chancellor is in the driver's seat.
"Germany does everything it can to portray an image of evenness, and a balanced relationship" with France, said Olaf Cramme, director of the Policy Network think-tank based in London. However "the relationship has become extremely one-sided, and Germany is calling the shots," policymakers in France have told him, he said.
Berlin seems not to be completely comfortable with this role. Germany is a "reluctant hegemon," said Paterson. Debtor countries "look to Germany to get them out of the mess," he said. "This puts the Germans in the unenviable position of: if not Germany, who?"
Exacerbating the tensions, Germans grumble about the costs of the euro zone. Their politicians in turn appear patronizing toward the countries in trouble, lecturing them about fiscal responsibility.

This, of course, ignores the many benefits that Germany has derived not only from the common

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Man dies after consuming mass quantities of live cockroach - Orlando
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
November 26th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) An autopsy report has concluded that a Florida man died because he didn't chew his food well enough. That mattered because his food happened to be live cockroaches. ORLANDO, FL (Catholic Online) - Edward Archibold, 32, of West Palm Beach, died as a result of suffocation after winning a rather gruesome contest. Challenged to eat works and cockroaches, Archbold did his best and won a coveted prize, an ivory ball python.The contest was a publicity stunt for the Ben Siegel Reptile Store. The prize was intended for a friend; however he never had the chance to give it away. Shortly after the contest, Archbold collapsed, choking on the insects he just ate. The report found that Archibold had no toxic substances in his body, he simply died from an obstructed airway. Cockroaches don't take too well to be eaten alive by humans. What a rough way to go...for all involved. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |
