Tablet Prepares for Takeoff
Our Birthright Israel trip begins today. Here's what we've got planned for our time on the bus.
Welcome to the Roll, where we'll be bringing you news, in real-time, of what really goes down on a Birthright trip to Israel. And you won't just be hearing from Tablet Magazine staffers. Our goal is to get you as close to the action as possible, so we plan on letting our fellow travelers speak for themselves—in blog posts, photos, and videos.
We've been told that we might be asked to withhold the names of some of the active-duty soldiers who travel with us—a condition to which we agreed because it was grounded in security and not central to our mission. Beyond that, everything is fair game.
Meantime, on our sister site Jewcy, we hope to bring you more news in something we're calling Birthright After Dark. Try to resist the natural urge to only read that.
As you read this, we are probably at Newark Liberty International Airport, to which we've been asked to arrive a full four (4!) hours before our flight. If all goes according to plan, we will take off in the early afternoon and land extremely early tomorrow morning, Israel-time. Whether it's so early that passengers will forgo the traditional applause is just one of the many hard-news events we're likely to report.
So, want a preview of our trip? Here are some highlights.
Wednesday June 13: We'll visit Ben-Gurion's grave, ride camels, and spend the night in a Bedouin tent.
Thursday June 14: Masada! We will be hiking both up and down. No cable-cars for us.
Friday, June 15: We'll meet the soldiers that will be traveling with us. We'll also spend sundown at the Western Wall. Why sundown? Do we really have to spell this out?
Monday, June 18: Rafting on the Jordan River, or the River Jordan if you prefer to be all biblical about it.
Tuesday, June 19: We will tour Tsfat and receive a lesson in Jewish mysticism. While there, we will lament missing Madonna's Israel concerts by less than a month.
Thursday, June 21: Tel Aviv and tearful goodbyes.

We take pride in our community of readers, and are thrilled that you choose to engage with us in a way that is both thoughtful and thought-provoking.

Starting today, then, we are asking people who'd like to post comments on the site to pay a nominal fee—less a paywall than a gesture of your own commitment to the cause of great conversation. All proceeds go to helping us bring you the ambitious journalism that brought you here in the first place.

GeForce GTX 465 SLI review -
NVIDIA today is releasing the 3rd product resurrected from the Fermi family of GPUs, the GeForce GTX 465 has arrived. Armed with a smaller thermal print, noise levels and performance, NVIDIA is positioning this product in the 279 EUR price range bringing the Fermi architecture below the sub-300 USD price point. The GeForce GTX 465 will position itself in the most affordable graphics card segmented in lower spectrum of the high-end range. As such it will be targeted against the Radeon HD 5830 and should sit in-between that product and the Radeon HD 5850.
This product is based on the 40nm GF100 GPU, yet to be more affordable it has less shader processors at it's disposal (helps with poorer yields) and the memory configuration is now brought down towards 1024 MB (gDDR5). This all means that several other shader cluster inside that GPU have been disabled, on a card that looks surprisingly similar to the GeForce GTX 470.
The product tested today originates from Point of View, they submitted two of the cards which we'll test in-depth to see where they position themselves, not only in a single GPU configuration, but also multi-GPU with the two cards setup in SLI mode.
Will thermals be better, will the noise levels stay within normal limits ? Well, you are here to find all that out. Have a peek at what is introduced today at the start of the Computex 2010 exhibition in Taiwan, the all new GeForce GTX 465.
Next page please.

Valencia Wedding Venue
24500 Town Center Drive
Valencia, California 91355
Phone: 661/678-4092
Request more information
The town of Valencia in the heart of the Santa Clarita Valley is one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods of Southern California. Businesses and families alike are relocating here to enjoy an uncrowded, country-like atmosphere just minutes from the bustle of Los Angeles. Valencia city planners are particularly proud of their Town Center, built to resemble the traditional "American Main Street," replete with shops, entertainment and cafés in a fun, safe environment that is pedestrian-friendly. The Town Center's crowning glory is the Hyatt Regency Valencia, Santa Clarita Valley's premier hotel and conference center.
Like many of the structures here, the hotel's architecture is Classic California with a contemporary flair. Yet the interior embodies an eclectic blend of distinctive international touches, such as the Galilea gold limestone from Israel featured in the lobby and corridors, and the Italian ironwork, granite, and stone incorporated throughout the hotel. The décor's neutral palette is accented with deep crimson and the occasional dark wood, creating a warm, clean look.
Stroll through the hotel lobby—a magnificent rotunda rimmed in columns and capped by a massive gilded cupola—to get to the hotel's wedding ceremony spot, a long set of gardens facing a lovely treelined golf course. Flower-covered trellises divide the Gardens into three distinct event sites. First is the Rose Garden, which can seat up to 300 guests on its lawn for a traditional garden ceremony with a dainty rose bower as a romantic backdrop. Enjoy cocktails in the adjacent Garden Court, a tiled space with a classical feel. A gentle rush of water pours from a large Romanesque fountain at the rear. Opposite is a raised stage which can be used for your wedding ceremony. Here, the bridal party is arranged along the curved steps, which are framed by a pergola decorated to suit. The coziest of the Courtyard areas is the Topiary Garden. Its four trees—one in each corner—extend their lacy branches to embrace manicured shrubs, colorful annuals, and your intimate gathering. You can book the Gardens for ceremony, cocktails and reception, or retire indoors after your ceremony to one of the ballrooms for dinner and dancing.
The ballrooms, which also provide sophisticated settings for corporate special events, are reached through the Garden Foyer and its larger cousin around the corner, the Grand Foyer. These spaces feature original paintings by local artists, and are attractive enough themselves to be used for cocktail service or prefunction gathering.
Up to 400 of your closest friends can enjoy a banquet in the Grand Ballroom, which can be configured in numerous ways depending on your needs. The luxurious decor features dark wood doors and walls covered in broad celadon stripes. Large cut-glass beads dangle from elaborate wrought-iron chandeliers, a dazzling adornment to your celebration. Another reception option is the Valencia Ballroom and Courtyard, also accessible from the Grand Foyer. Textured celadon walls give off a rich satin sheen, and one side features an Oriental panel in a hand-painted floral design. The chandelier in the Valencia is also chinoiserie, and the atmosphere is both elegant and inviting. This ballroom opens to a petite courtyard, so your event can flow outdoors.
The Hyatt Regency Valencia also offers a myriad of conference spaces for business functions. Details like leather armchairs and tasteful furnishings lend a sumptuous air to any meeting. It's all part of "the Hyatt Touch," which has become synonymous with resort-like luxury and exceptional service.
CEREMONY CAPACITY: The Rose Garden holds 300, the Garden Court 120, and the Topiary Garden 100 seated guests.
EVENT/RECEPTION CAPACITY: The Hyatt accommodates 50–350 seated or 350–600 standing guests.
MEETING CAPACITY: Several spaces seat 20–600 guests.
25% of the estimated event total is required to reserve your date, and the balance is due 10 days prior to the event. The ceremony fee for the gardens ranges $1,200–2,000. Meals range $50–75/person. Tax, alcohol and a 22% service charge are additional.

They each had a first down in the third quarter and those are the highlights. I got an email from Register reader, Karen, shortly after the game: "You think (Pat) Haden is meeting (Ed) Orgeron at LAX early Sunday?"
That was before Orgeron stepped in front of a microphone and went ridiculous on everyone. In fact I haven't heard a bigger bunch of malarkey from anyone and I was around Mike D'Antoni a lot last season.
Orgeron said his team "fought as hard as they can,'' an admission, if you will, just how much USC stinks.
"Overall I feel our coaching staff and players gave everything they had in the second game of our new season,'' said Orgeron, and as mediocre as Notre Dame is this season, maybe USC is worse than anyone thought.
"There was a lot of belief on the sideline, unbelievable enthusiasm and energy before the game,'' said Orgeron, and was he talking about the Song Girls?
"There was a bonding of a football team coming together,'' he went on. "I really liked the way our guys played. Something special happened in the locker room right now.''
What? The players all agreed no more cookies until they win again?
"If anything I gained confidence in everybody," concluded Orgeron.
Does USC's coach really think his players are that stupid that they don't know how poorly they played against a very average Notre Dame team?
Is this some kind of new USC policy to lie to everyone or play their owns fans and athletes for fools?
And what's with the braggart coaching Notre Dame?
"We've beaten them three out of the last four years," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said, and ney, nah, neh nah.
It wasn't anything he did. Notre Dame lost its quarterback and replaced him with a tackling dummy and USC still couldn't find a way to win the game.
"A great win," said Kelly, and I'll just settle for a great day, knowing it's already past The Kid's bedtime and we have more Cracker Barrels to pass before calling it a night.

Jackson leaving on low note as Lakers swept away
"I grew up under him," Bryant said. "The way I approach things, the way I think about things - not only basketball, life in general - comes from him. It's a little weird for me to think of what next year is going to be like."
Dallas will host either Oklahoma City or Memphis in the conference finals. The Grizzlies lead the Thunder 2-1 going into Game 4 on Monday night. The next round likely won't start before next Sunday, a layoff that could pay huge dividends for a roster filled with players in their 30s.
Then again, the Mavs might want to keep playing the way they're going.
They tied a playoff record with 20 3-pointers, shooting 63 percent from behind the arc and 60 percent from the field (44 of 73) overall.
They extended a franchise record by winning their sixth straight playoff game, a streak that began right after they blew a 23-point lead in Game 4 of their first-round series against Portland.
While the crowd went bonkers all afternoon, they weren't doused in confetti at game's end. The organization held back to symbolize that this is only a step toward the bigger goal of winning its first title.
"I'm going to enjoy this for a day," Dirk Nowitzki said. "I think I'm gonna have some pizza and cheat on my diet."
Terry made 11 of 14 shots for 32 points. J.J. Barea set a career playoff-best with 22 points and Peja Stojakovic added 21 points. None of those guys start.
"We've been doing it by committee all year long," said Nowitzki, who scored 17 points, his fewest this postseason. "There are a lot of guys who can make plays and make shots when it counts."
The Lakers blew big, late leads in Games 1 and 3, and came in talking about cleaning up their fourth-quarter performance. They never got that far.
The second quarter proved to be one of the most spectacular in Mavericks history, thanks mostly to Terry.
He was 5 of 6 from behind the arc that period, and the team was 7 of 8 - despite Jackson's repeated demands that his players run at them to try forcing them to dribble up for 2-pointers instead of 3s. The Mavericks had a run of 13-2 early in the quarter and a 10-1 spurt at the end.
Bryant couldn't bail out the Lakers. He made only 1 of 5 shots in the period and had two turnovers. His only basket came after shoving Barea away from him; the pesky little point guard got even right away, driving straight to the rim for a layup.
Bryant finished 7 of 18 for 17 points. Gasol's lost postseason continued, too; he had 10 points and eight rebounds.
To make the loss even more embarrassing for the Lakers, Lamar Odom and Bynum were both ejected within a 45-second span of the fourth quarter for flagrant fouls.
NOTES: Teams trailing 0-3 are now 0-99 in NBA playoff history. The Lakers became the 60th to get swept. ... Before the game, Jackson was told the league was fining him $35,000 for comments he made Saturday that were critical of officials. "That's not fun having a feeling like I've been chased down the freeway by them," Jackson said. "But as Richard Nixon says, 'You won't be able to kick this guy around any more.'" ... The lopsided loss continued a trend for the Lakers. Although they'd won nine straight series, their previous eliminations were by 39, nine, 31 and 13 points. ... The 39-point loss - to Boston in Game 6 of the 2008 Finals - was the only bigger blowout loss than this for Jackson, Bryant and the entire Lakers franchise. ... Nowitzki improved to 8-0 in playoff games against Gasol.

More than 200 worshippers gathered on The McDonough Square, Thursday, to pray for the nation's military, the media, governmental officials, educators, business leaders, and local churches.
"We must fan the flame of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is our responsibility to keep the fire burning for Jesus and our families," said Pastor Barbara Cannon, of His Freedom Reigns Ministries.
Cannon, along with 10 other clergy members, used the theme, "Prayer for Such a Time as This," in conducting the Henry County National Day of Prayer observance.
"I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, for it is the power of God and the salvation to all who believe," Pastor Rick Statham, of Salem Baptist Church, told those in attendance.
Henry County Commission Chairman Elizabeth "B.J." Mathis said the event was intended to bring the faithful together.
"It is an opportunity for the body of Christ to unite across denominational lines to pray for our local communities, our state and our nation," Mathis said. "Out of it, new friendships form and the community of believers is drawn closer together, not only on this day, but in working together throughout the year."
One of those in attendance at Thursday's service was William Herndon, a member of the Henry County Zoning Advisory Board.
"I knew this was a time that we could express, for our part of the greater-Atlanta community, unity that would cross all denominational lines and cross all lines of race, creed, color and gender, and cast them aside," Herndon said.
Opening remarks were given by Scott Reece, a supervisor for the Southeast district for Foursquare Church. Following Reece, J. Chris Vaughn, senior pastor of The Landing Church in McDonough, led the crowd in a prayer of praise.
"It shows the concerted unity of Christians across the denominational, ethnic and racial lines," Vaughn said. "It's also the initiation of what I call the posture of prayer. Unless people, in one way or another, physically turn to that place of prayer, nothing happens. You have to believe that prayer works."
Keyboard music during the service was provided by Mark Whitaker, a pastor at The Landing Church, and prayers were offered up by several local religious leaders.
Randy Davis, pastor of One Heart Community Church in Stockbridge, prayed for government officials, and Paul Leslie, pastor of McDonough Christian Church, prayed for military personnel.
Steven Usry, lead pastor for Harvest Point United Methodist Church in McDonough, prayed for the media, and Ed Meeks, pastor of Anchor Church in Locust Grove, prayed for the business community.
T.J. McBride, a pastor with Tabernacle of Praise in McDonough, prayed for teachers and the educational system, and Statham, of Salem Baptist Church, prayed for local churches.
The closing prayer was given by Terri Stalls, a pastor with Shiloh Baptist Church in McDonough.
The tradition behind the National Day of Prayer began in the 1700s, Mathis said.
"The first Day of Prayer was declared by the Continental Congress in 1775," she continued. "The modern-day 'annual event' as we know it was signed into law in 1952 by President Truman. The first Thursday of May designation was in 1988 and signed by Ronald Reagan. The event has gained in popularity since that time."

The Department of Justice is investigating whether the legal department of General Motors Co. concealed evidence from safety regulators about defective ignition switches that have been linked to at least 13 deaths and more than 50 crashes.
General Motors confirmed the investigation and said it was cooperating with authorities.
Several other inquiries may also examine whether members of GM's legal team hid information about problems with 2.6 million older Chevrolet Cobalts, Saturn Ions and other small cars from safety officials and higher management at the automaker.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Congress also are looking into why GM delayed recalling the vehicles until earlier this year even though some of its employees knew about the problem for at least a decade.
"We are cooperating fully with the Department of Justice in their investigation," GM said in a statement Friday. "Our own internal investigation found that individuals failed to disclose critical pieces of information and the company operated in silos. We have made significant changes to our structure so that will not happen again."
A GM-commissioned report prepared by former U.S. Attorney Anton Valukas blamed poor communication and incompetence for the automaker's failure to recall the cars with faulty switches until this year.
But that explanation has met with skepticism from some involved in the probes.
"I find it hard to believe that, out of 210,000 employees, not a single one stood up and said, 'I think we are making a mistake here,' " Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa., said at a congressional hearing on the issue in June.
Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga., whose district was home to one of the crash victims, called the Valukas report "a big cover-up."
After Valukas released his report, GM fired 15 people. Five additional GM employees were disciplined. The automaker has apologized for not recalling the vehicles sooner. It also has set up a compensation fund for victims of crashes caused by the faulty switches and their survivors.

The development story behind the MDGs: Seeing the forest beyond the trees
Of course we need to closely follow the progress of each Millennium Development Goal (MDG), but have you ever thought: What is the development story behind the MDGs in various national contexts?

The MDGs countdown – what the case of Moldova tells us?
With the MDG countdown clock inexorably ticking, many countries are taking stock of the achievements and failures, and on this basis are designing plans to ensure that progress is sustained and the bottlenecks are overcome in the final stretch. However, such stock-taking can provide value-added well beyond simply addressing "sector" issues: it can reveal cross-cutting challenges and thus provide a narrative to better understand countries' development. Moldova's development story as told by the MDGs is a conclusive example.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Absolutely wonderful!
I absolutely loved how my cards and return address labels came out! Great quality and I loved how I could play with different design ideas and the actual cards looked like they did on my computer screen. The best thing was that when some of the text on my card came out too light in a test print, they sent me an email to let me know and suggested an alternate color to match my design and make the text easier to read. That's great customer service!
love their design
We started with one of your beautifully designed wedding invitations and then used your format as a guide for our names. But we were able to easily add additional information. When we ordered everything, the nice lady called the next day to clarify our order. The additional envelopes we ordered weren't the same color and she asked if we wanted them to be the same color. So, I really appreciated the phone call.
Great Quality Labels
These labels came out great! They are a little bigger than I thought they would be, but they look so nice and the quality is great! I definitely recommend adding these to your order, worth the $20!
Very nice
The colors are beautiful, and they turned out great..The only thing I would change is how small my name was, but other then that it came out perfect

LIMA � Prosecutors will seek the death penalty against a man accused of beating a woman to death last week, marking the second time this year they have sought the ultimate punishment.
Hager Church, 25, was indicted Monday on aggravated murder and aggravated robbery, both charges with repeat violent offender specifications. The indictments were handed down as part of a special session of an Allen County grand jury, Prosecutor Juergen Waldick said.
The other death penalty case is against Demond Jones, 37, who is charged in the Feb. 27 slaying of Marjorie Williams in her home at 1907 Zeits Ave.
Church is charged in the Aug. 16 slaying of 49-year-old Debra Henderson, who was beaten to death inside her home at 619 Woodward Ave. Police said Henderson was beaten in the head during a robbery. Detective Tim Clark said Church confessed to the crime. Church and Henderson were acquaintances from the neighborhood. Church�s mother was a neighbor to Henderson, police said.
Church was being held without bail pending his arraignment, which is expected to take place sometime this week.
Jurors will decide whether the death penalty is justified for the crime after being presented with information on how Henderson was killed, Waldick said.
While prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in two cases, actually having a jury hand down a death sentence can be difficult. History has proved during the last 60 years it�s even harder to carry out a death sentence on anyone from Allen County.
While Allen County prosecutors have sought the death penalty numerous times through the years, the last person executed was Lester Nichols, 44, of Lima, on March 4, 1949, for the murder of his father-in-law, the Rev. Lewis Whitaker, according to state prison system records.
The only other person executed from Allen County since 1897 was Harry Pierpont on Oct. 17, 1934. Pierpoint, 32, was a member of the John Dillinger gang who killed Allen County Sheriff Jesse Sarber on Oct. 12, 1933, to free Dillinger.
Both men were executed by electrocution. Today, Ohio executes its inmates by lethal injection.
Allen County has two men on death row. Jeronique Cunningham and Cleveland Jackson. Both men were convicted in the 2002 Eureka Street shootings that left a 3-year-old girl and a 17-year-old girl dead. The men lined up eight people inside a small apartment kitchen and opened fire. The men were trying to rob one of the victims of drugs and money.
In recent years, Allen County juries have elected to sentence defendants to life in prison without parole instead of the death penalty.
No one from the Leland Avenue firebombings in 2000 that killed a mother and four children received a death sentence. Neither did Michael Glenn for beating to death two women on St. Johns Avenue in April 2005. Both inmates in the 1996 murder of Bonita Haynes inside Lima Correctional Institution also avoided the death penalty.
Allen County also has had others who landed on death row such as Richard Joseph for the 1990 murder of Bath High School student Ryan Young only to have their sentences commuted on appeal.
Ohio also had nearly a 10-year span without the death penalty that began in 1972 when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the death penalty unconstitutional. The death penalty was reinstated in Ohio in 1981, which began with cases committed after that time. It took nearly 20 years before the state carried out an execution.

In a classic Saturday Night Live Sketch in 2000, the show satirised the game show Celebrity Jeopardy – skewering both Robin Williams and Catherine Zeta Jones. But the breakout star of the sketch was comedian Darrel Hammond's Sean Connery, who introduced the term "anal bum cover†in this memorable exchange:
Alex Trebek: For the last time, that is not a category. Sean Connery, why don't you pick?
Sean Connery: Well, the game is afoot. I'll take anal bum cover for 7,000.
Alex Trebek: That's "An album cover", not anal bum cover.
Sean Connery: I can read, Trebek. That says Anal bum cover. I've spent five years of my life trying to invent an anal bum cover, failing to do so is my greatest regret.
So in tribute to this obscure but resilient meme, we celebrate 7 great covers with backsides on the brain. Bottoms up!
Bruce Springsteen: Born in the USA (1984)
The undisputed heavyweight of album covers with bottoms on their front belongs to The Boss.
Born in the USA was the best-selling album of 1985 and shares the record for the most top ten hits from a single release. Springsteen was already a big star but, as one commentator puts it, it wasn't until he "hit the gym to get buffed up and showed off his rear end in Annie Leibovitz's famous cover photo for Born in the USA that he became an American pop icon.â€
Springsteen's new image came at just the right moment, as Rambo was hitting cinemas and Reagan was ushering in a period of muscular nationalism.
The irony that underscores this cover is that the vast majority of Springsteen's new fans radically misinterpreted his lyrics and ideology. The patriots that packed stadiums and cheered on his anthems were blissfully unaware that they may as well have been nuns at a Madonna concert, delighted to see so many crucifixes on stage.
The contradiction was certainly not lost on Springsteen, who had to be convinced to use Leibowitz's photo for the cover. Ultimately he did and the image was also incorporated in the video for the title track.
Born in the USA is one of the most imitated covers of all time. (The following examples were all found on music site AMiRIGHT)
The 2 Live Crew – As Nasty As They Wanna Be (1989)
Rarely was an album so aptly named, or a band so enamored by the backside. This cover is not what you'd describe as a design masterpiece, nor is the photograph anything less than ridiculous. And funnily enough, the bling and bum combo on the cover is the chastest thing about As Nasty As They Wanna Be, which was declared by more than one local court to be "obscene and illegal to sellâ€.
While their LA contemporaries were terrifying the moral majority with gangster rap, the Miami-based 2 Live Crew achieved it with pure filth. The single "Me So Horny†features a raft of romantic lyrics sure to melt the heart of any young lady:
"I won't tell your mama if you don't tell your dad
I know he'll be disgusted when he sees your pussy busted
Wont your mama be so mad if she knew I got that ass?
I'm a freak in heat, a dog without warning
My appetite is sex, cause me so hornyâ€
In a later verse, Fresh kid ice adds:
"You said it yourself, you like it like I do
Put your lips on my dick, and suck my asshole tooâ€
The band also released a PG-version, As Clean As They Wanna Be, which came with the cute disclaimer "This album does not contain explicit lyrics."
While the controversy surrounding As Nasty As They Wanna Be contributed to sales of over 2 million units, As Clean As They Wanna Be stayed on the shelves.
With battles over both censorship and copyright issues, The 2 Live Crew is one of the few bands to have their case taken to the Supreme Court.
Echoing their enthusiasm for both pop-culture references and female buttocks, the next release was a cheeky tribute to Born in the USA.
Loverboy – Get Lucky (1981)
Loverboy spent the eighties creating anthems that make you feel like you're flying down a freeway. Even the titles of Get Lucky's hit singles scream epic good times: Working for the Weekend, Lucky Ones, Gangs in the Street and Take Me to the Top.
Get Lucky's cover, featuring a confusing image from photographer David Kennedy, is striking in its simplicity. There's something genuinely charming about the crossed fingers, which perfectly bring to life the hopeful optimism of the album's title.
According to Wikipedia, the famous derriere belongs to the photographer's daughter Tymara Christen Kennedy, which is not at all creepy.
Various Artists – Ripper '76 (1976)
I know very little about this hits compilation, except for the fact that its cover is amazing. It also must have shifted a few copies, as the motif was repeated the following year.
Eagles of Death Metal: Death by Sexy (2006)
They got their name when frontman Jess Hughes heard bandmate Josh Homme describe death metal group Vadar as "The Eagles of death metalâ€. The striking turn of phrase inspired Hughes to consider what that mix would actually sound like.
This enthusiasm for pastiche continues on the cover of Death by Sexy, the band's second album. Recognisable influences for this anal bum cover include the Stone's Sticky Fingers, Too Fast for Love by Motley Crue, Get Lucky and Born in the USA.
In many ways, it's a perfect companion piece to the cover by The Donnas.
The Donnas – Bitchin' (2007)
Read a previous Sleevage entry about this cover here
Sigur Rós – Með suð à eyrum við spilum endalaust (2008)
The latest album from everyone's favourite Icelandic post-rock band features a photograph by contemporary artist Ryan McGinley. It's taken from a 2008 series of his called I Know Where the Summer Goes (the title of which was taken from an early B-side by Belle & Sebastian).
McGinley's primary artistic focus is youth and for this series he traveled America with a troupe of models. He photographed them sometimes clothed and sometimes naked, frolicking across vast, sunlit landscapes. The cover image evokes a feeling of freedom and joy, which is perhaps why the band chose it for an album titled (in English) "With A Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlesslyâ€.
Strokes: Is This It (2001)
Yes, this is it. This is the sexiest Anal Bum cover in the history of mankind. The Stroke's debut was that rare beast – an album that exceeded its considerable hype musically and then matched its sonic genius with an iconic cover.
The image was the result of an impromptu photo shoot by photographer Colin Lane. His girlfriend at the time possessed the fetching figure you see on the cover. As she tells it: "I walked out of the shower and I was completely naked,†she recalls. "I was walking around the house – he was like, put this glove on. I walked over, boom, that was the shot.â€
Lane told NME that "a stylist left the glove in my apartment. I begged my girlfriend at the time to do it. We did about 10 shots. There was no real inspiration, I was just trying to take a sexy picture.â€
He succeeded and, he says, his "ex-girlfriend was thrilled – she was a very rock 'n' roll girl so it's a big feather in her cap to have her ass on The Strokes' cover.â€
She tells the story herself in this video, originally posted by Goldenfiddle.

Too bad the Americans never got to see that Strokes cover.
They got some naff stock imagery of a particle accelerator or something. Interesting enough, but nowhere near as iconic.
…another great bum cover!
I love the Death By Sexy cover, there's something really Pop Arty about it, the Stokes' cover is great too, really nice post.
You forgot one of my favorite homages to the Born in the USA cover: Ryan Adams' "Gold," complete with upside-down American flag:
the loverboy album cover has always made me ill and reminds me of late 70s era gay where the infamous fetish handkerchiefs are replaced with hand signals.
a good complement to sigur ros would maybe be houses of the holy album cover by led zep?

I love my amiibo, but to be honest I think I went overboard and bought into it too early. The collector in me wants them all, but I can't buy all of them 48 characters is a lot of money, so I think after spending on most of the first wave I'll be more picky. As far as amiibo and smash go, I enjoy them, I picked up different tactics because of them good training tools. I am also building some kind of relationship with them, I care enough to name them after mythical characters based on their characteristics.

The "gas" card doesn't have to be used for gas.
Its basically a mastercard gift card.
I like the idea IMHO.
While not THE reason to purchase a Wii U, it certainly adds to its value. I also think that it's a sign of things to come.
Nintendo tends to be slow at accepting new technologies because it spends its time mastering what it currently has, limitation can bring creativity; they are content creators, entertainers, not necessarily a technology company such as Microsoft and Sony. Nintendo survives out of selling its content, with that said, as technology gets cheaper and more efficient they will inevitably gravitate towards a unified console/portable platform, and some sort of unified account system, given the rich videogame history.
Isn't the Wii U essentially a home DS?
What about its move to unify the portable and console divisions?
By esentially having portable titles in a home console, it sets the foundation for a central hub.
I also enjoyed the last attempt to play GBA games on my TV (Gameboy Player.)
Besides, as a gamer with multiple platforms, I'm always happy when the games come.
I've seen such awesome artwork for this contest that anything I would make doesn't compare. I'm good with solid lines and color, but even then I take weeks to finish something.

Florida State topples Auburn 34-31
The Seminoles snap the SEC's seven-year win streak in the national championship
The Seminoles geared up to go for two, but an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty from Devonta Freeman – incurred when he taunted players on the Auburn bench – pushed Florida State back 15 yards, and they ultimately settled for a PAT.
Feeling the pressure, the Tigers tried valiantly to hold on to their lead with a 22-yard field goal of their own.
But on the ensuing kickoff, the Seminoles' Whitfield outran the entire Auburn coverage team 100 yards to score the go-ahead touchdown.
Trailing Florida State 27-24, Auburn had one final card to play.
Running back Tre Mason bounced off two defenders and broke for a 37-yard touchdown to reclaim the lead for the Tigers with 1:19 remaining.
Mason finished with 195 yards on 34 carries to close out his junior season with 1,816 yards and vault Bo Jackson to secure Auburn's all-time single season record –
That's when Winston came up with the kind of clutch game-winning drive that defines careers.
Fisher was effusive in his praise for his quarterback, but this, he said, was more than just an offensive show. It was a complete victory.
"Tonight, our defense had its moments, our offense had its moments and our special team had its moments, to me that's what this is all about and this is a complete football team," Fisher said.

It's very rare that an interim title is defended in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Usually when a fighter wins one, they wait for the divisions true champion to come back so they can unify it, no matter how long that wait may be. At the young age of 25, currently riding high on a 30-fight unbeaten streak, Renan Barao chose to continue working. And by working I mean cracking skulls and gettin' money. Video: Highlights: UFC on FUEL TV 7 Barao was able to submit Michael McDonald after absorbing some big shots from the dangerous striker throughout the first three rounds. Barao said he wanted to take it to the ground to score the submission win, and like a true champion, he did exactly what he told us he was going to do. McDonald gave him a great fight, and it likely won't be the last time we see these two talented 'young guns' go toe-to-toe under the UFC banner. Now it's time for the young McDonald to go back and make some adjustments in his game after taking a round from Barao and going into deep waters for the first time in his career. For Barao, its time to reap the benefits of being a UFC champion, and now it's time to wait for Dominick Cruz to return.

DTI puts off IPP changes to 2014
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) will only make minor adjustments in the Investment Priorities Plan (IPP) for 2013, putting off the major changes to 2014.
"Our preference is just to keep the current list for 2013 because we want to issue a new list for the 2014 IPP at the end of 2013," Trade Secretary Gregory L. Domingo told reporters.
The Trade department, Domingo said, wants to issue the 2014 IPP earlier to better guide investors. The 2013 IPP still has not been issued and, as such, is already "late."
But the DTI must first agree with the Department of Finance (DOF) on the content and timing of the 2013 and 2014 IPPs. Both departments are already going over the investment plans, Domingo said.
The Finance department "will want to minimize the incentives. On our end, we want to, if it makes sense, to offer incentives to promote investments," Domingo explained.
The DTI will only make minor adjustments in the 2013 IPP such as the removal of tax holidays for tourism accommodations in four major destinations (Metro Manila, Cebu City, Mactan Island, Boracay Island), Domingo said. Major issues, like mass housing, will be addressed in the 2014 IPP.
The DOF wants to remove mass housing from the list of investment priorities because it has turned into a profitable undertaking for investors. DOF is also keen to remove "mainstay" sectors such as shipbuilding, iron and steel, and motor vehicle manufacturing from the IPP.
In a position paper sent to Trade Undersecretary Adrian S. Cristobal Jr., Finance Undersecretary Jeremias N. Paul Jr. said "subsidizing projects that do not need tax incentives should be avoided because they represent wastage of government resources."
Also, the DOF wants to limit the 2013 IPP to export-oriented investments (such as creative industries, knowledge-based services, medical tourism), qualified micro and small enterprises (such as agribusiness and fishery), and research and development activities (such as green technology and laboratories for clinical trials).
As for infrastructure, energy, and public-private partnership projects, these have cost recovery mechanisms and will function even without tax incentives, according to the DOF official.

Sells Printing Co. of New Berlin has told state and local officials that it will eliminate 67 jobs.
The great majority of the employees will lose their jobs on June 22, with 12 others cut between July and December, the firm said in its notice.
Sells recently was sold to Ripon Printers, and there are indications that at least some Sells employees will be working for Ripon. But Jim Sudar, Sells' manager of human resources, said late Friday afternoon that he wasn't free to speak about any such arrangements.
Ripon said three weeks ago that it had acquired Sells. The announcement said the companies have combined annual sales of $55 million.
Sells, 16000 W. Rogers Drive, was started more than 90 years ago. Ripon Printers, of Ripon, dates to 1962.

Diabetes Health Center
New Diabetes Drug Seems Safe for Heart: Study
Over the course of more than two years, the researchers found the patients who took the diabetes drug were at no greater risk for a heart attack than those who took the dummy pill.
The study showed that cardiovascular death, heart attack, stroke, or hospitalization for unstable angina, coronary revascularization (angioplasty), or heart failure occurred in about 12.8 percent of patients who took the drug, compared to 12.4 percent of those in the placebo group -- not a significant difference.
However, "our data also show an increase in hospitalization for heart failure in patients who received saxagliptin, which was not expected and deserves further study," the study chairman, Dr. Eugene Braunwald of the TIMI Study Group, cardiovascular division at Brigham and Women's and Harvard Medical School, said in the hospital news release.
But the drug had real benefits, as well. "Patients who received saxagliptin also had better control of blood sugar levels and a reduced need for insulin therapy," noted the study's co-principal investigator, Dr. Itamar Raz, of Hadassah Medical Center, Israel.
Raz added that the diabetes drug also prevented the progression of microalbuminuria, a condition that occurs when a type of protein called albumin is spilling into the urine due to kidney damage.
Two diabetes experts unconnected to the study said the findings should help ease the minds of patients and physicians.
"The treatment of patients with diabetes has been challenging in recent years," said Dr. Sripal Bangalore, director of research in the cardiac catheterization laboratory at NYU Langone Medical Center, New York City. "It is reassuring to see a mega trial . . . re-assuring the cardiovascular safety of saxagliptin given for a median of two years," he added.
"The pessimistic way of looking at this is that the drug was no better than placebo [in reducing heart risks] and had higher risk of heart failure and hypoglycemic events," Bangalore said. "Hopefully, the investigators will publish more data from the trial showing improvement in microvascular events."
Dr. Tara Narula is associate director of the cardiac care unit at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. She agreed that "there currently exists a tremendous amount of confusion regarding which diabetes drugs are safe to use in patients at risk for or with established cardiovascular disease."
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
