The Utrecht Art Supplies store in Washington, D.C. has some really awesome Converse shoes on display, featuring amazing artwork of Batman and the Joker.
Check them out!
The artwork was done by Washington artist Jerome Wheeler, who spent two weeks working on the shoes with acrylic paint. As you can see, one shoe contains detailed artwork of DC Comics heroes, and the other has art depicting the villains. The shoes are on display in a glass case at the Utrecht store.
Thanks to my friend and artist extraordinaire Joe Hudak for snapping these photos and sending them to me!

"Science, technology, personalities entangled."
I like Hager as a science writer. I had not known much about the Haber-Bosch process or its developers. It illustrates that, as usual, scientific and technological progress is a double-edged sword with potential for both good and evil. Of the two main characters, I found Bosch the engineer/businessman to be the more admirable, however brilliant a chemist Haber may have been. The narration is good, except that certain scientific or German words are completely mispronounced.
"fascinating subject I didn't realize until now"
I'll be another reviewer to say "how did I not know this?" ! There is so much in this book that should be well known but simply isn't, I was astounded. I'd never thought about how chemical fertilizers were discovered - about how difficult and ground-breaking it was, and how desperately the world needed it. I'd never thought about the geopolitical importance of fertilizers (organic and chemically created), though it was huge and had significant effects on world affairs. And that doesn't even get into the close association between chemical fertilizers and explosives/munitions.
Actually, the title of the book is a bit of a misnomer: This book is really about the work, life, and discoveries of two men - Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch. It starts with nitrogen and the need for fertilizer and continues through the discovery of the process and creation of chemical fertilizers, but it is much more. While Haber invented the original process and Bosch created the means and methods for making it practical on a large scale, it continues to follow the lives of the two men past the time when the Haber-Bosch process was novel (and unique to Germany) and through the rise of Hitler to the second world war. How the mechanisms Bosch used were turned to making synthetic fuel and rubber, how the chemical company BASF grew to be a part of the chemical giant IG Farben (most notable now for creating the Zyklon B gas used in the Holocaust), and how the changing fate of Jews in Germany in the 1930s affected both Haber and Bosch.
Both men were, by all accounts, devastated to see how their scientific discoveries intended to feed the world and support Germany after WWI were used to fuel the rise of a martial state with Hitler and his anti-Semitic policies. Haber was Jewish born and had been a proud veteran of World War I, and Bosch was heartbroken and shocked to see so many of his fellow scientists minimized and tossed out of their jobs because of their religion, and to see his inventions used to fuel and supply that process. Ultimately, those things led to their ill health and sad deaths - Haber in Switzerland on his way to Palestine, and Bosch in Germany.
Sadly, the narration was merely adequate, and it's the weak point of this audiobook.
"I can't believe I didn't know any of this"
This is the best kind of non-fiction. It is human-focused, so it organizes the story around a few key people, but it is about wide-scale events of world-changing importance. There are many non-fiction books that seek to deliver information and to do so in an accessible way. Most of these don't figure out how to deliver the information in a compelling way. Still more of these are interesting if you're already interested in the topic, but not otherwise. This book is compelling, and should be interesting to anyone who wants to know something of critical importance to the world. I am a fairly well-read person who is generally scientifically and historically literate, and I have no idea why I knew basically nothing of the subject of this book. So many facts about the first two world wars come into focus thanks to the information in this book. Bravo.
Hi. My name is Mann & I am an Enterprise Communications expert by profession. I have always loved reading books and primarily enjoy books on Finance, Science & Technology and History. I do hear an occasional Fictional book though I prefer to read them instead.
"A Fascinating & Engaging Book"
Yes. All those who love reading about science and its impact on our society will enjoy this book a lot. Very well researched book. The best part is the interweaving of the human side and scientific side of the story. Thomas Hager is an exceptional storyteller who brings to context different historical events and their reverberations on our contemporary life.
I always hated Chemistry as a kid and now I feel, if only I had read this book when I was young, my perception of the subject and its relevance would have been way different.
Most Human Human. The books is extremely beautiful series of essays on Computing and Artificial Intelligence. Its another realm of science presented with its larger role in the society and meta-philosophy. The book though gets more exciting towards the latter half.
Awesome performance by Adam.
Follies by Geniuses.
"Facinating Work of Industrial History"
This book should be required reading/listening in schools in my opinion. It explains how we got to where we are today in terms of World population growth and it also explains how the two world wars went on for the length of time they did.
I really enjoyed this book both from the science content and from the detailed descriptions of the key people involved in this discovery. I wish there were more books like this availabe
"Great history"
One of the best books ever! The subject was very interesting and the narration was excellent.
"Amazing story! Perfect audiobook!"
I finished listening to this author's first book, Demon Under a Microscope, just yesterday. I immediately went online to see if he had written anything else. I definitely recommend starting with Demon Under a Microscope first, as the stories are somewhat connected. I think you get a better understanding if what life was like at the time of this story.
This is another EXCEPTIONAL story from Thomas Hager. He gives the reader a rare point of view. I listened to both of his books straight through. (Honestly I think Hager could make anything interesting!) Hager is a truly gifted author, who tells each story with a fresh and unusual perspective. I loved the way he presented the main protagonists, with their flaws and disappointments.
Ultimately, this book is about the unintended consequences of the work of two important German scientists, from WWI to WWII, and how things just don't turn out like people intend or expect.
Great narration. Highly recommended!
"There are few that put together the synergy of sci"
There are few that put together the synergy of science, commerce, and their places in history so well as Thomas Hager. I bought Demon Under the Microscope at a sale price, and consider one of the best reads in decades. Alchemy of Air is equally absorbing.
I have taught physics and engineering at university for years, and I try and make history and commerce part of the background in my courses. Personalities and economic pressures do shape the course of technology and as Mr. Hager points out, not always for the better. I hope Mr. Hager continues these pursuits, and might consider exploring the threads of more physics, chemistry, and engineering.
"loved this book and story"
yes; important story that was told very well
the importance to human development
good from beginning to end
important to know
"What a Fortunate Thing to Stumble Upon"
Yes yes yes, I could listen and re-listen to these chapters over and over again and still feel like I was gaining something new from it.
I felt so fortunate that I stumbled upon this book. I love science reading, and I love the fact that the author brought back to life a topic most people would have otherwise forgotten or not cared about. I didn't realize the impact of the discovery of nitrogen fixation had on the entire world. I abhor history reading, but this was a digestible form of reading for me. The author really gave character to his - well, characters. My favorite part was when Crooks gave a speech to convince the scientific community that we needed to work on increasing food production, that then went on to discovering nitrogen fixation, that then went on to fuel war, innovation, technology, and increased food production. Wow!

In a touching posthumous act of gratitude, beloved University of North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith's trust has mailed out $200 checks to each of the nearly 200 lettermen he coached with the message, "Enjoy dinner out compliments of Coach Dean Smith."
The letter sent read, in part: Each player was important and special to Coach Smith and when he prepared his estate plan, Coach wanted to reach out to each of his lettermen. Accordingly, Coach directed that following his passing each letterman be sent a two hundred dollar check with the message 'enjoy a dinner out compliments of Coach Dean Smith.'
According to Sports Illustrated, Smith mentored 184 players while at UNC from 1961 to 1997, most notably, Michael Jordan. Over his tenure as a coach, his team had a record of 879-254. He retired with more victories than any other coach in Division I men's basketball history, led the Tar Heels to two championships in 1982 and 1993, to 13 ACC Tournament titles, 11 Final Fours, an NIT championship and directed the United States Olympic Team to a gold medal at the 1976 Summer Games.

I used to hate Hate HATE when my brother was allowed to do something and I wasn't because he was a boy and I was a girl. I'd stomp and sigh and eventually find something better to do but the sting of that bias stuck with me for a while. I (and I'm sure my parents) would shudder to think of my reaction had I been denied admission to the college of my choice when another candidate got in based on any other reason than merit.
Though college officials claim their preference toward alumni children is modest at best, a new book states the opposite. In Affirmative Action for the Rich: Legacy Preferences in College Admissions, editor Richard D. Kahlenberg calls for a reexamination and elimination of alumni preferences now; as an advocate for class-based as opposed to race-based affirmative action, Kahlenberg also argues that with the elimination of affirmative action in several states (a shift he predicts will spread), existing biases make it "hard to justify alumni preferences when you have gotten rid of help for minorities." One section of the book, which is a collection of research articles by scholars, journalists and lawyers, even details how much the advantage of being an alumni child has increased in the last 20 years (Princeton admitted 41.7 percent of legacy applicants in 2009 – 4.5 times the rate for non-legacies – while the legacy admit rate was only 2.8 times the rate in 1992) though they are typically are "average" academically and "under-perform" those with similar demographic backgrounds who did not receive alumni admissions preferences; there is also additional assistance for white applicants, athletes and the children of wealthy donors. Inside Higher Ed delves deeper here.
I haven't read the book so therefore I cannot choose a side just yet, but I have to say the article has me intrigued. Getting into college (not to mention finding the money to pay for it) is competitive enough so why turn it into a steeplechase rather than the marathon it already is?

"Have pride in giving back to the institution that has given you so much" is surely the sentiment colleges intends for students to graduate with. And while a majority may decide to give back, what will come of the students who decide not to? Two students from elite Ivy Leagues – where you might expect a higher degree of integrity – were faced with that exact predicament and were subsequently shamed by their peers for not contributing to the senior class fund.
At Dartmouth, the single student from the 1,123-student Class of 2010 that did not contribute was publicly criticized in the college newspaper where they addressed Laura DeLorenzo directly without publishing her name, writing she has "symbolically shown the Class of 2014 that she did not consider their chance at happiness valuable." The next day, another student – writing under a pseudonym – revealed DeLorenzo's identity on the Little Green Blog, a popular blog on campus. But why was there such a hostile response towards a student with possible financial strains? Her decision jeopardized a potential donation from the Class of 1960, which had promised to give $100,000 to the college if every graduating senior contributed. In response, DeLorenzo sent out an e-mail, posted on the Little Green Blog, writing that her decision not to donate was personal and reflected "that the negative aspects of Dartmouth outweigh the positive, and nothing more."
At Cornell, volunteers overseeing fund raising efforts were provided lists of classmates who had not donated. They were encouraged to send multiple e-mails and to call students on their cell phones, telling them that they were among the few who had not yet given. One student, Erica Weitzner, reported getting four or five e-mails in addition to phone calls imploring her to contribute. "I understand the theory behind the Cornell campaign is they want their seniors to donate, but pushing this hard makes it seem like it's no longer really a donation but more like part of tuition," Weitzner told the New York Times.
Do you think imploring such pressure tactics – repeatedly calling and sending multiple e-mails – and public humiliation is the approach in which well-respected institutions should conduct themselves in order to solicit donations?

Every day, you're prompted to enter personal information on the web. Whether you're buying a Kindle from Amazon, filling out a college application or applying for a job, you're asked for a credit card number, your social security number and, in some cases, even your mother's maiden name. And sure, in the back of your mind you know there's the slightest possibility that your personal information could be disclosed, but I doubt that fear was a serious concern on your university's website. Former University of Hawaii-Manoa student Philippe Gross was no different but on Thursday, Gross filed a class-action suit against the university after the system allowed a series of privacy breaches. It was only last month that the system discovered that a retired professor had posted social security numbers and other personal information about more than 40,000 alumni on a public web server. That wasn't the first incident either: Back in July, the system acknowledged that hackers gained access to records of 53,000 students and employees at its Manoa campus.
Mr. Gross's lawyer, Thomas R. Grande, said the University of Hawaii had violated the constitutional right to privacy of the students and employees who were affected. "For those with access to private security information comes a heavy responsibility to protect that information," Mr. Grande said. The University of Hawaii-Manoa has acknowledged that they are working on improving its data security and, as of right now, their approach was inadequate. Though I doubt the thousands affected by the breaches take comfort in knowing that only now, after two incidents, has the university taken action.
Do you think the University of Hawaii – or any institution for that matter – should be liable for data breaches?

They may not agree on politics, health care or Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds' divorce but the consensus among recent college graduates is almost unanimous about one thing: Eighty-nine percent say they are happy they earned a college degree.
This statistic, found in a new report by the American Council on Education is surprising considering the economic climate but the 800 young alumni surveyed were more than pleased with their post-secondary educations. Close to 9 out of 10 respondents said undergrad was worth the time and money spent, and 85 percent reported their educations prepared them for their current jobs. The Chronicle of Higher Education and University of Wisconsin president Kevin P. Reilly both agree the findings will help combat the higher education budget slashing proposed by some government officials.
Some of the survey's findings aren't as overwhelming – only 62 percent of national respondents believed college generally prepared grads for working life – but the overall alumni satisfaction considerably strengthens the case for greater access to and increased quality of higher education. And as for the students who said they left college unprepared for the real world, an extra internship or semester abroad could have easily provided the experience they craved. College IS what you make of it, after all!

Giving back to your alma mater is a tradition deeply rooted in the inner workings of any university. Once your status has shifted from "student" to "alumni," you can bet there is an expectation for you to give back. And while some go out of their way to avoid the financial strains of contributing, a Yale graduate recently pledged $50 million to the School of Management…and that ain't chump change.
A member of Yale University's Class of 1964 has given a $50 million gift to the Ivy League school towards construction of a new building at the School of Management. Edward P. Evans, the former chairman and CEO of the Macmillan publishing house, will fund a portion of the estimated $189 million construction costs. In honor of the gift – the largest in the School of Management's history – the building will be named Edward P. Evans Hall.
According to the Associated Press, Yale President Richard Levin says the large losses in the university's endowment during the recession have prompted the school to secure funding before new projects begin. School of Management Dean Sharon Oster said the university has raised all but some $25 million toward the campus plan and the campaign will continue for another six months. Officials say the new building is expected to open in 2013 and allow the graduate school to add 200 more students.

Last year, the staff at Stephens College accepted the unorthodox challenge from an alum – a woman in her 80s who is committed to fitness and eating well – to lose a collective 250 pounds by January 1st with the promise to pledge $1 million to the women's college. And with a payout like that, of course they did it! According to Chris Smith, director of marketing and public relations at the college, of the 107 employees who signed up for the challenge, those who weighed in right before Christmas had lost a total of 302 pounds, exceeding the donor's requirement ahead of schedule.
How'd they do it? The school played a major role in helping employees meet the goal, Stephens offered free yoga, Pilates and other exercise classes during lunchtime and after work, and started a blog with low-fat, nutritious recipes and health tips. According to the Chronicle, Brenda K. McSherry, director of health services, said the employees were also permitted to take up to an hour of paid time to exercise…after all, the school did have $1 million on the line. In addition to the $1 million donation, the anonymous donor will add another $100,000 if Dianne M. Lynch, Stephens's president, loses 25 pounds herself. Ms. Lynch, who was not given a specific deadline, told the Columbia Daily Tribune, that she was more than halfway to the goal, with about 10 pounds to go. But what do you think, is it wrong to award money based on numbers on a scale or is cold hard cash the right incentive to get people to lose weight?

At Scholarships.com, we know scholarships and if you're interested in attending the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, then we have the scholarship for you! The Scottish university where Prince William and Kate Middleton met and studied is presenting the royal alumni with an early wedding gift – a scholarship in their honor. The unnamed scholarship will pay about $115,000 in tuition costs, accommodation and living expenses for an undergraduate degree in science, arts, medicine or divinity. The award will be open to applicants of all nationalities who would have been unable to attend the university without such financial support.
"This will be the first scholarship of its kind at St. Andrews and a reflection of this university's commitment to ensure that we find, attract and support the most gifted students from anywhere in the world," said Louise Richardson, the university's principal and vice-chancellor. St. Andrews is Scotland's first university and the third-oldest in the English-speaking world.

The University of Southern California has secured a major donation – the fourth of more than $50 million given to the university this school year alone – from Julie and John Mork. The couple donated $110 million to USC to fund the Mork Family Scholars Program, which will provide high school seniors "of extraordinary intellectual talent and capability full tuition and $5,000 living stipends," the university said in a statement.
John Mork, a trustee who graduated from USC in 1970, is the chief executive officer of Energy Corp. of America, a private company that handles the exploration, extraction, production and transportation of natural gas and oil, based in Denver. "Attending USC is the dream of talented high school seniors from all walks of life," said John Mork. "We hope this gift will help transform hundreds of young lives." Julie Mork, who graduated from UCLA, is the managing director of the Energy Corp. of America Foundation, a charitable organization that focuses on children and education. According to the LA Times, about 100 undergraduates will benefit from the scholarships each year.
Now while this is the single largest donation in the university's history for undergraduate scholarships, it isn't the Morks first philanthropic gift to the school. In 2005, the family contributed $15 million to the USC Viterbi School of Engineering that resulted in the naming of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science after the Mork family. And this time around, to show their appreciation, USC will place a plaque with the names and images of the Mork family at Bovard Auditorium.

Cheap Curtains That Look Expensive Like Jardiniere
Does elegance always come with a hefty price tag?
Jardiniere curtains are one of the most elegant kind of curtains in the market today and they are not as expensive as you think they are. This is the case where you can say that looks deceive in a rather astonishing way. You will be surprised to know that Jardiniere curtains are the most valuable cheap curtains you can ever find.
In looking for curtains for home use, price is not the only factor that should be looked into. For what good are cheap curtains if they do not serve the purpose of providing homes the beautification it needs. Although the use of curtains have been greatly revolutionized into one as a means of protection other than just for mere decorations, still most homes are adorned with curtains primarily for embellishment purposes.
Jardiniere are net curtains and you know how net curtains are much preferred by homeowners when it comes to elegance and style than any other types of curtains. The following are the reasons they are the best value for your money.
- They are made from the finest materials mostly of silk, which gives off that smooth feel when you run a hand through the fabric.
- They are full-length net curtains with a distinct arch design on the bottom part. It is arched in the middle purposely for you to peer outside but unexpectedly, without meaning to, the arch gives the Jardiniere curtains a sophisticated look.
- Because silk is a light material, they hang comfortably on your curtain poles and sways elegantly as pushed by a blow of air. No cheap curtains like Jardiniere can perfectly achieve the look of elegance without burning a hole in your pocket. You can choose to buy cheap curtains but just remember that cheap curtains don't have to be cheap-looking too.
- Jardiniere are very durable. They are properly sewed at the hem so they don't frayed easily.
- They can be easily washed. Dirt doesn't attach too easily on silk and when they do, Jardiniere are not heavy to wash. The fabric is too thin to absorb much water unlike other curtains that are made of thick fabric.
- Because Jardiniere don't easily get dirty, this means washing less frequently.
Is it possible to find quality cheap curtains? Yes, it is. There are reputable home furnishing stores and online retailers that are selling cheap curtains that look far from cheap. Consumers' apprehension about cheap curtains often tagged as low quality is understandable. Arguably though, it would turn out as expensive all the same if you bought inexpensive curtains with less redeeming qualities and you decided to buy another one because you realized it was useless. You would have paid twice as much then than if you had just gone for Jardiniere right off the bat. The best net curtains for your windows don't have to be expensive nor inferior. There is always a brand name where quality and affordability converge.

In all of my paltry ramblings about problems I may have had or realizations yet to come, I am stymied and muted by the tragedy in Newtown, Conn.
My heart is broken for all involved, my tears flowing freely as I see the faces and hear the stories of those babies and their fallen protectors, all taken too early and so horrifically, the witnesses and families facing aftershock, yet to come.
I know, this time, that I do speak for everyone in our close-knit village when I say that my thoughts and my prayers are with them and theirs through this unimaginably painful time. I've hugged my children a million times more, truly blessed to have normal every day drama and trauma, as whatever I'm facing, has been so clearly put into perspective.
The nation, the world, has been so shocked and saddened by this senseless tragedy and in turn a wave of random acts of kindness has arisen from the ashes. To help us feel sane and alive again, our selfless acts the only thing we can think of as we scramble for a sense of normalcy.
As the magnitude of making any sense out of this tragedy is unattainable we move on in the only way we know how, shell shocked and needing to "pay it forward" to counter balance the horror and reclaim some of our faith in humanity.
I want wish you all a very happy holiday season and a happy New Year ... we are so privileged to have so much to be thankful for. More downstate honesty next week.

The Last Guardian, previously known as Project Trico (working title), is the a game in development by Team Ico, who previously developed ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. The Last Guardian is a PlayStation 3 exclusive.
Director Fumito Ueda departed as a full-time employee in 2011, but continues to work as a consultant.[2]
The Last Guardian was originally slated for a holiday 2011 release, announced at the Tokyo Game Show 2010. It was subsequently pushed back to 2012 on April 20, 2011. After missing this release date and not appearing at E3 2012, The Last Guardian's release plans remain a mystery.
It is entirely plausible that The Last Guardian has been put on a development hiatus until further notice since then.

Marcel Proust was long the object of a cult in which the main point of reading his great novel In Search of Lost Time was to find, with its narrator, a redemptive epiphany in a pastry and a cup of lime-blossom tea. We now live in less confident times, in ways that place great strain on the assumptions and beliefs that made those earlier readings possible. This has led to a new manner of reading Proust, against the grain. In Mirages and Mad Beliefs, Christopher Prendergast argues the case differently, with the grain, on the basis that Proust himself was prey to self-doubt and found numerous, if indirect, ways of letting us know. Prendergast traces in detail the locations and forms of a quietly nondogmatic yet insistently skeptical voice that questions the redemptive aesthetic the novel is so often taken to celebrate, bringing the reader to wonder whether that aesthetic is but another instance of the mirage or the mad belief that, in other guises, figures prominently in In Search of Lost Time. In tracing the modalities of this self-pressuring voice, Prendergast ranges far and wide, across a multiplicity of ideas, themes, sources, and stylistic registers in Proust's literary thought and writing practice, attentive at every point to inflections of detail, in a sustained account of Proust the skeptic for the contemporary reader.

The Blue Devils (28-5) will meet seventh-seeded Creighton in the third round Sunday.
Duke shot 58.7 percent (27 of 46), just off its season-beat 60.8 percent against Florida State.
The Blue Devils, who lost 75-70 to 15th-seeded Lehigh in the second round last year, never really pulled away from the Great Danes (24-11), who got as close as eight points with 4:40 to play.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski extended his all-time lead with his 80th career victory in the tournament that he has won four times.
Jacob Iati had 15 points for Albany, which was making its third NCAA appearance, all since 2006.
PHILADELPHIA – Doug McDermott had 27 points and 11 rebounds, and Gregory Echenique scored 13 points to help Creighton hold on.
Ethan Wragge added 12 for the Bluejays, who won their NCAA tournament opener for the second straight year.
McDermott, the two-time Missouri Valley Conference player of the year and 2012 All-American, made all 11 free throws to help the seventh-seeded Bluejays (28-7) move on to play Duke on Sunday.
Sean Kilpatrick's driving layup after Cincinnati had the arrow on a jump ball cut it to 64-63 with 17 seconds left.
Austin Chatman sank two free throws for Creighton. Kilpatrick's attempt at a tying 3 rimmed out, and the Bearcats were whistled for traveling after grabbing the rebound.
Kilpatrick scored 19 points, and Cashmere Wright had 15 for the 10th-seeded Bearcats (22-12) in their camouflage-patterned shorts.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Marshall Henderson shook out of a shooting slump and scored 17 points in the second half, giving the Rebels their first NCAA tournament win since 2002.

Marketplace RSS /Atom feed is lacking of preview or thumbnail image. Currently it's only display Title, and Desrciption and item's category. It would be really nice if the RSS /Atom feed also display thumbnai/preview, so that buyers who subscribe to the particular feed can see the looks of the items before jumping into the site.
On the author side, we can plug the thumbnail using simple pie to promote newest items on author sites.
The Wordpress plug-in works for Wordpress users, but non WP users, must use other workaround. And I think using Simple-Pie is the easiest method to stream author's items
Great idea..
It's easy enough to add pics to an rss xml
I'd import with Drupal's FeedAPI module; if the feeds had images in them, I'd be all set.
So that's +2 on images in the RSS

I was in New York for almost 2 weeks so this TR will be in phases...
My mom and I had first gone to New York last September to see the play the Jersey Boys and her and both had the best time ever. Since Mom wanted to go back and she paid for the flight and hotel, how could I say no.
One of the major reasons that we came to NYC was of this guy
More on that later..
Our flight from LAX left at 6:00am which meant that we left my apartment at 4:00am No traffic at that time so it took 15 minutes to get there, parked the car at the lot, got the shuttle and checked in. Then the fun exciting times at LAX
Here is my Mom not affected that she got about 2 1/2 hours of sleep
Here I am knowing that I only barely slept for maybe 2 hours and being annoyed by the hyper mom next to me
After 5 hours on the plane and of my mom asking me what I see out the window, " Nothing, clouds and the wing."
See what I mean.
I don't think I am in Kansas anymore (or Redondo Beach where I live- don't forget I am living on 2 hours of sleep at this point).
How bright is it in Time Square.. well this was taken with no flash at about midnight
So there are alot more photos to come, BUT I want show you a store that all of us can appreciate
This is the World of Disney store at 5th Avenue and 56th Street. I get to know this store very well the next 2 weeks.
Open, open, open. "Hey Mickey can you help me ?"
He granted me my wish and the doors were opened. This is what I found.
When you first walk in the store there is a big pin section, but somehow I only took one picture Probably too busy going, hmm.. I will take this one, this one, ohhh this one, this one. I have never been to WDW and those are the pins that they carry and their own NYC pins.
Here is some NYC merch.
If you are asking if Pirates have invaded there also the answer is ......
One of my favorite sections of the store is where you can stuff a Mr. Potato Head and a box of parts for $19.
The person that works that are (the girl on the right) is a saint. She will pack your box up as full as possible and as long as one side closes you are ok.
More to come later..

Home > socks
We often wonder how many people in action sports collectively yelled "d'oh!" the instant Stance came out. We bet it was a lot. Not that that is a bad thing because honestly the sock game had gotten pretty stale and now it seems like socks grow on trees. Just ask Richer Poorer who recently brought Chris Pastras on to curate their skate program. If Pastras is on board we are too, check out their new line above.
To create the campaign that accompanies Santigold's recent sock pack with Stance, photographer Craig Wetherby and filmmaker David Shadi Perez travelled to Jamaica to shoot the artist in some irie settings. Check out more photography plus Shadi's video at WeAreTheGoodLife.
We're always amazed at how much product gets made just for St. Patrick's day, a "holiday" most Americans have absolutely no connection with whatsoever. But then we remember how much we love alcohol and it makes sense. Get these Huf socks here and hit the jump for more looks.
Stance releases their long awaited collab pack with Santigold today, a dope three sock collection that references both Jay-Z and Charity:Water although the latter could be mistook for Chelsea blue. Get them at select Stance dealers including Nordstrom, Opening Ceremony, Colette, Unknwn Miami, Wish, and the Brooklyn Museum.
Stance just unloaded their Spring 2014 wares onto dealer shelves. Featuring a more subdued mix of patterns and styles than that brand normally delivers, it's a still a pretty rad collection. Peep the socks in action after the jump.
The other day we ran down some of the raddest products out in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month and we've got another to add today. At $12 with every cent going to the Keep a Breast organization plus pink plants that glow in the dark, these Huf socks may be the best of the bunch. Show your support here.
Like most people, we are huge breast supporters here at Radcollector and would like to remind everyone that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The action sports industry has always been involved and this year is no different with many brands chipping in to give some money to fight breast cancer. One rad example is Stance, who just dropped these "Pink is Punk" socks with Keep-A-Breast. Get them here.
Riding high from their recent mention on Jay-Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail, Stance is clearly aiming for a total sock world takeover. Their new dress sock collection certainly attests to that. Check out the whole collection after the jump and go here to purchase.
In our opinion Stance would be the best sponsor in the world. Everything they make is rad, everyone on their team is rad, and you can never have enough socks. We bet Dakota Roche is stoked!
Here's a super dope quick interview with Shane Heyl about the new Shake Junt x Stance sock collab. Peep a closer look at the socks after the jump and don't forget to hit up Shake Junt on Instagram and then tag your photos #StanceJunt for a chance to win some free shit.

Accelis Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Accelis is just one of the many completely holistic diet alternatives on the market today. People are becoming suspicious of many chemical-laden diet supplements due to the side effects and lawsuits that seem to be very frequent in the past ten years. Accelis is all natural and made mostly from teas and other plant compounds.
Accelis bills itself as a stimulant free weight loss supplement that can help you lose an average of 10 pounds quickly. A high selling point is also the fact that you don't have to eat a handful of pills each day. Instead, just one tablet each night is all you need. Accelis claims to be a glucose-controlling supplement. Glucose is a basic simple sugar that delivers energy to you cells. Your cells work hard to regulate your glucose levels and when there is too much glucose in your bloodstream, it can lead to an increase in body weight. Accelis supposedly encourages glucose to be used in the muscles for energy instead of being stored as fat.
List of Ingredients
Lagerstroemia speciosa l. extract (leaf) standardized for 3 percent corosolic acid, Caffeine-free green tea extract (as Camellia sinensis) (leaf) Supplying polyphenols, catechins, epigallocatechin gallate, Caffeine-free oolong tea extract (as Camellia sinensis) (leaf) standardized for 15 percent EGCG, 25 percent catechins, 50 percent polyphenols, Caffeine-free white tea extract (as Camellia sinensis) (leaf) Standardized for 15 percent EGCG, 35 percent catechins 50 percent polyphenols, Chamomile extract (as Matricaria recutita) (flower) Supplying 1.2 percent apigenin, Passionflower extract (as Passiflora incarnata) (aerial parts) Supplying 3.5 percent flavonoids, Soy phospholipids Supplying 23 percent phosphatidyl ethanolamine.
Other Ingredients: Soybean oil, gelatin, glycerin, yellow beeswax, purified water, soy lecithin, titanium dioxide, FD&C Blue No. 1, maltodextrin, shellac glaze, n-butyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol, ammonium hydroxide.
Product Features
Accelis has Lagerstroemia speciosa (Banaba Eextract) as its main ingredient. This extract has been studied by many different groups for use in controlling diabetes. It has been shown to lower blood sugar levels in animals and humans with diabetes. However, clinical studies undertaken in 1999 didn't prove it to be effective in non-diabetics. Banaba extract contains corosolic acid which has been shown to support healthy blood sugar levels.
Accelis has no stimulants and many people who are sensitive to caffeine find this very appealing in any diet supplements. Even though a large number of the ingredients are teas, they are completely caffeine free.
- No caffeine or other stimulants.
- Just one pill per day.
- No appetite suppressants or fat burners are in the ingredients list.
- No conclusive evidence for weight loss or other benefits in non-diabetic users.
- Official website seems to be gone.
- Bottle has 20 servings. Not quite a 30 day supply
Accelis does seem to have potential for increasing your metabolism due to all of the green and other tea varieties that are included in its formula. The problem is that they don't have caffeine, which negates some of their fat burning properties. The benefits for those with diabetes may be worth looking into but for most of us, this product probably won't have many noticeable effects. As of this writing, the official website vanished which is never a good sign.
Accelis says you will lose an average of 10 pounds quickly but it doesn't quite say how fast. We need to assume they mean after you take the entire bottle over a 20-day period. As with many of the herbal supplements on the market, to really have them be effective you will need to alter your diet and use the supplements in conjunction with a healthy exercise regimen.

Osteoarthritis of the elbow
Anyone familiar with OA, please comment. After an X-ray what I thought was just elbow pain is the onset of OA. Appears 27 yrs of tennis is wearing out my elbow.
I played for 2 year I fell like I have that on my chondromalacia and building Achillies heel... I dont know just real painful... Im only 16.. I dont think I should be having this...
PHS, if you have the dough, try taking this problem to a sports medicine/rehab facility. They can give you a program to alleviate/stretch out your achilles and strengthen your leg muscles and walk you through the exercises to determine your specific weak areas. Once you target these areas, pain should be a thing of the past. I see high school atheletes daily working out in that type of facility using all types of drills.

Can Life Be Merely an Accident? Robert Piccioni Announces 'Everyone's Guide to Atoms, Einstein, and the Universe'
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ — "Science shows that the conditions necessary for life are extraordinarily improbable. Life has four major prerequisites: a viable universe, the right atoms, a habitable environment and an effective genetic code.
"Albert Einstein once said: 'What really interests me is whether God had any choices in the creation of the universe' — meaning does the universe have to be the way it is due to the laws of physics and math, or could it have been very different? Fifty years later, science has found 20 choices — 20 knobs akin to the temperature and cooking-time knobs on an oven. Each knob could be set to almost any value, but it seems life is possible only if every knob is set to specific values — the values in our universe. For example, the universe's initial expansion rate had to be right to 50 decimal digits. That is as likely as drawing the ace of spades from a shuffled deck 29 times in a row. Would you bet on that?
"What about atoms? Of the particles existing in the beginning, all but one in a billion were annihilated by antimatter. Only one in 500 of the survivors were converted into carbon or oxygen. Only one in ten million of those ended up on terrestrial planets. Overall, that is as likely as drawing the ace of spades 11 times in a row. We are truly made of the rarest and most precious ingredients in the universe.
"Earth is a wonderful and extremely improbable habitat. It's in the right place in a favorable galaxy. Our solar system formed at the right time and with only one star of the right size. Jupiter protects us from asteroids, and our Moon stabilizes our seasons. Earth has a nearly circular orbit of the right size. It has the right mass and magnetic field to maintain an atmosphere. No one knows the odds of all that, but it could be as improbable as drawing the ace of spades 5 times in a row.
"Lastly, how likely are humans? We are defined by our DNA, which is 99.9% the same from one person to another and which contains three billion base-pairs. Randomly matching human DNA is as likely as drawing the ace of spades one billion times in a row. If you were satisfied with any species of life, not just humans, you could subtract five draws.
"Aren't we special?"
So says California physicist, public speaker and science educator Dr. Robert Piccioni, author of "Everyone's Guide to Atoms, Einstein, and the Universe." Dr. Piccioni is developing a TV series on Einstein's life, his discoveries and their impact on our society. See his website: http://www.guidetothecosmos.com.
Review books and photographs are available upon request. Author available for interviews. Special feature story inquiries are welcome.

Where is this Forest?
The National Forests offer a variety of recreation opportunities in vastly contrasting natural settings. You must be prepared to take care of yourself. As a general precaution, travel with another person and/or tell a responsible person where you plan to be and when you plan to return. Know basic first aid and carry a suitable kit.
Be aware of the weather! Weather conditions can change quickly during any season in the forest and are especially unpredictable when you reach high altitudes. Plan your outing and clothing accordingly!
Thunderstorms and lightening activity can move in without warning. Avoid high ridge tops, open areas and large trees or rock outcrops during storms and lightening activity. Always take extra food, clothing and shelter.
Better to be safe than sorry! All drinking water should be filtered, boiled or treated, as giardia exists in many natural water sources.
To check water availability visit the USGS real time flow site.
In case of serious injury, treat the victim to the extent of your abilities and send for help. Leave one person with the victim, and then notify the local Ranger District or County Sheriff; they will take the steps to activate the local search and rescue.
If you plan to visit bear country make sure you obtain and understand special safety and food regulations. Be aware of where bears live, eat, and travel. Food odors can attract hungry or curious bears and other animals too, so it is important to store your food properly. In some areas, this means using bear-proof boxes and panniers.

Events to salute our nation's veterans lead off the week ahead in Catawba County.
Memorial Day activities are planned in Hickory, Conover and Claremont.
For more details on those and other happenings in the county this week, read on.
Fred T. Foard defeated North Iredell 2-0 Friday night to clinch the 3A West Regional softball title.
The Lady Tigers plated two runs on a sixth-inning homer by Ashley Oliver in the victory, Foard's second over North Iredell in as many nights.
Foard now faces C.B. Aycock or Western Alamance in a best-of-three state championship series June 1-2.
Church congregations from across the nation are cancelling Sunday services and heading to Newton to protest local pastor Charles Worley.
Organizers of a demonstration against Worley's anti-gay comments say at least 1,500 people will protest at the Catawba County Justice Center from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday.
For the second time in two years, Newton is without a street sweeper after fires rendered the equipment useless.
Now, city leaders are hoping to invest $40,000 into a replacement so Newton can comply with state and federal stormwater control rules until a new street sweeper can be bought in 2014.
Claremont is accepting applications for the inaugural P.J. Stanley Memorial Scholarship.
The city organized the scholarship after the passing of former Claremont city councilman, police officer and rescuer James "P.J." Stanley.
Stanley, who was a 30-year veteran of the Claremont police department and rescue squad, died Sept. 21, 2011, after a short battle with leukemia.
The following citizens were convicted of felony offenses in Catawba County court this week:
* Brian Todd Hieb, 41, of Sherrills Ford, was convicted of felony second-degree murder and driving while impaired and was sentenced to 94-122 months in the Division of Adult Correction.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
Enjoy the awesome views and sunsets. The free-air and screened lanais allow for outdoor dining and entertaining. This is a first floor unit but 25 ft above ground with views over the mangroves to directly see Boca Grande and Cayo Costa in the distance. Manatees, mullet, dolphins and other varities move in and out of the marina harbor in front of the condo and fishing is spectacular below your lanai.
The community is extremely social and you will meet many wonderful people. There are activities at the marina and the burnt store golf and amenity club to enjoy.
The german social club on pine island and quaint Key Westie feel of Matlacha and downtown historic Punta Gorda with its restaurants and Fishermans Village.
Proximity to water, ability to kayak or reserve a boat slip in the marina harbor, sailing, fishing, shelling, cruising to an island restaurant at Boca Grande, North Captiva or Cabbage Key are within range of the boater.
Local fisherman are excellent and boat tours from Fishermans Village are easily scheduled.
Consider being within an easy drive of Tampa or Miami,,,and closer to Sarasota/Bradenton, Venice, Fort Myers and Naples.
It is all right here. I concluded nearly 10 years ago this was the place for me and i hope it may be for you.
Keywords: Awesome views with large outdoor and screened lanai,,,,,the is no reason to be inside. Sole owner from pre-construction.
Retired vascular/general surgeon who continues to work with medical investigative service, provide university instruction and public health volunteerism to assist the american red cross.
After owning condos in naples and on the beach in hilton head island, sc this property appeared to be a true gem and a lifetime goal to eventually be on the water with beautiful views, have enough living space for standard living and immediate water access.
Burnt Store Marina is a wonderful private community that provides all aspects plus more. Walk down the hall and enjoy the club room, the exercise facility with wet and dry sauna, the awesome home theater and pool overlooking the marina and harbor.
Kayaks are available for use with my condo and in and out of the magroves is truly an adventure.
By the way.... i love to fish and simply be on the water and this is one of the greatest recreation areas in North America.
The Owner purchased this condo in 2004
location, view, water access, development and facility amenities.....i love being on the water, fishing, exploring charlotte harbor, shelling, enjoying nature and the local environment and its privacy while maintaining extremely close proximity to naples, fort myers, venice, sarasota/bradenton and the tampa bay/st pete amenities.
boating, fishing, swimming, sunning, festivals, great freshly grown fruits and vegetables and the seafood in the restaurants is too die for. there are so many things to explore with easy access to so many communities and cultures that it creates a private and central feeling of access to many or the local/regional cultures.
This is one of the most beautiful settings we have encountered. The grounds are beautiful and the sunsets breathtaking. Condo is well maintained and spacious. We rented for 3 months last winter and had a wonderful time. Only drawback for us was the distance from the condo to the main road. Owner, Dr. Jim was very accommodating.

LV Air Lift Looms Later This Year
LAS VEGAS, April 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ – LV Air, the new wide-bodied luxury carrier bringing casino players and vacationers to Las Vegas, is now signing leases for jetliners, raising additional capital, partnering with gaming resorts and examining which airports it will fly from later this year.
"The new public charter carrier will provide Boeing 767 non-stop jet service between McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas and John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York and several other U.S. cities, starting in autumn 2011," says spokesman Bryan Glazer, President of JetPlane Public Relations.
"Our first class seats will be fully reclining for the 5.5 hour flight between New York and Las Vegas," says LV Air Founder and Chief Marketing Officer Sean Smith. "The cabin will include mood lighting, club music, celebrity holographic video safety briefings, Wi-Fi, intra-seat text messaging, at-seat TV monitors and three-course Las Vegas-style gourmet meals prepared by some of 'Sin City's' most-renowned chefs."
In addition to its non-stop JFK-LAS flights, the company is also planning possible service from numerous other airports in Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia."
Glazer adds, "Some of these airports have placed an 'open call' in published news stories trying to entice a carrier like LV Air to start service to Las Vegas from their communities." He adds, "These enticements include assisting new carriers with local marketing efforts and waiving take-off, landing, gate and terminal space fees."
U.S. Airports
"My office has made contact with some of the below-listed airports to determine the level of demand for non-stop flights to Las Vegas," says Glazer. "LV Air executives expect to speak with these airports' officials next month."
- Chicago-Rockford International Airport, IL
- Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport, KY
- Detroit Metropolitan Airport, MI
- Dulles International Airport, VA (Serves Southern Maryland, Northern Virginia, Washington, DC)
- John F. Kennedy International Airport, NY
- Lakeland-Linder Central Florida Regional, FL (Serves Orlando/Tampa Bay Area)
- Lambert-St Louis International Airport, MO
- Louisville International Airport, KY
- Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, MN
- Niagara Falls International Airport, NY (Serves Buffalo/Toronto)
- Palm Beach International Airport, FL
- Philadelphia International Airport, PA
- Pittsburgh International Airport, PA
- Portsmouth-Pease International Airport, NH (Serves Boston/Portsmouth/Portland, ME)
- Raleigh-Durham International Airport, NC
- St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport, FL (Serves Clearwater/Sarasota/St. Petersburg/Tampa)
Please note that LV Air has not had formal communications with all of these airports. Some have simply received this news release.
Las Vegas Lift Problems
According to recent statistics, due to the nation's sluggish economy, Las Vegas is loosing as many as 8 million guests annually compared to lodging figures for 2007. Furthermore, the recession and rising fuel prices have contributed to airline flight reductions, service cutbacks and carrier consolidations causing Las Vegas to lose upward of 20,000 airline passengers daily.
"LV Air plans to fill the gap left by the major airlines by offering a unique in-flight, luxurious Las Vegas experience," says Smith.
Las Vegas Luxury Flights
"In addition to airborne high-tech video and internet gadgets and gourmet meal service in all three cabins, LV Air passengers will be provided with cushiony pillows and thick-blankets and complimentary snacks, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages and a choice of 4,000 movie titles," says Smith.
"The carrier is currently consulting with numerous casino designers to construct unique cabin interiors accentuating a Las Vegas flair," says Smith.
"LV Air is not a low-cost carrier trying to compete with airlines that already offer Las Vegas flights," emphasizes Smith. "Instead, we are a company committed to returning luxury to Las Vegas air travel by providing cross-country comfort, attentive in-flight service, delicious onboard dining and airport-to-casino stretch limousine ground transportation for first class passengers, among other things."
Smith explains, "Whether you are receiving a complimentary casino paid-for-flight or you are purchasing your ticket on-line, you will get a full Las Vegas experience at 35,000 feet."
Casino Comps and Public Fares
"LV Air is working with several resort-casino owners on devising internal reservations systems, which will allow clients and hotel guests to book flights directly through the properties' marketing departments," says Smith.
He adds, "LV Air will offer complimentary and discounted first class, business class and premium-economy class fares through its member-casinos.
Complimentary fares are typically offered to "proven players" and "frequent guests" through casino rewards and "comp" programs.
Seats will also be available to the general public for purchase via the company's website, www.FlyLVAirNow.com.
"LV Air will offer a limited number of special introductory one-way premium-economy class fares for as low as $100, plus taxes and fees, on selected inaugural fall flights," says Smith.
On average, one-way premium-economy class fares will cost $400, plus taxes and fees, according to Smith.
"While this is a competitive price in some markets, it is not the lowest price," stresses Smith. "We are not about just getting you there; we are about getting you there in style."
"Passengers purchasing their tickets online at www.FlyLVAirNow.com will neither pay so-called 'junk fees' nor baggage charges. The total fare includes everything," explains Smith.
Certain travel agencies will also be authorized to book seats on LV Air, according to Glazer
He says, "The company is also ironing-out intra-carrier agreements with several overseas airlines that fly to JFK."
Aircraft Leases
Later this week, LV Air Founder and Chief Marketing Officer Sean Smith and Chief Executive Officer Kent Smith (no relation) will meet with Dynamic Air in Dallas, Texas to work-out final details of lease agreements for 767 jets and flight crews, according to Glazer.
"Three other licensed carriers have submitted lease proposals to LV Air," says CEO Kent Smith. "All leases are being negotiated through Worldwide Charter Services, which is a full service charter procurement company."
Capital Investment
CEO Smith adds, "Throughout April, LV Air will meet with several interested financiers and investor groups." He continues, "We have already received substantial financing to lease aircraft. Additionally, during the next few weeks we expect an infusion of even more capital that will empower LV Air to take-off in the next few months."
LV Air is also meeting with aircraft designers and engineers within a licensed mechanical facility to review interior and livery options, according to CEO Smith.

The Moksha comic series bring you stories and myths in settings you can relate to…
What happens to Hanuman after Ramayana? What was he doing in that period between Ramayana and the time he resurfaces in Mahabaratha? What if he lived in the mountains, meditating and also interacted with two mortal kids?
'What if…' is the liberty taken by the Moksha comic series brought out by Vimanika comics, which presents Indian mythology to the present generation in comics and graphic novel formats.
Moksha deals with the stories of the mythological characters Hanuman and Parashuram and their interactions in settings that we can relate to. That is the uniqueness of Vimanika comics — contemporizing Indian mythology. The Sixth: Legend of Karna for instance, narrates the tale of the mythical character Karna that runs a parallel story that deals with Karna's reincarnation in the present times as a business tycoon.
"It is important for us to understand the value of our culture and get back to our roots," says KaranVir Arora, Managing Director and Editor in Chief Vimanika. "The values and philosophy that our mythological stories teach are relevant even today and hence its importance in present times," he adds. In fact, Vimanika's latest release in the Moksha series The White Tiger and the Gift is mainly intended to make the youth aware about the Tiger conservation in India and around the world.
Vimanika won the Golden Cursor CNBC TV 18 and animation awards for the Best Comics in 2009 and its founder/director Karan won the 'Best Young Entrepreneur' award at the Third Indira International Summit.
One look at their newly launched comics Dashaavatar and Volume three of Moksha, and you can see the eye-grabbing visualisation, colours and layout. They are nothing like your conventional comics. "Visual appeal is very important to get the children to read," explains Karan.
The comic books are available across in leading book stores across India. For more details look up: www.vimanika.com
