41 year old man | Los Feliz, CA, USA | Seeking women 30-43 within 30 miles of Los Angeles, CA
Music makes me smile. Live music, more so :-)
Okay, okay, I technichally live on the Los Feliz side of the Silver Lake/ Los Feliz border but I spend most of my time on the SL side. Also, profile photograph wise, imagine me with the longer hair but sans beard. Hi! How are you? I'm an LA native that has recently moved back to Silver Lake after 3 years living in SF. I really enjoyed SF but now that I'm back in LA, I'd like to re-engage the local LA music scene I once loved, and experience the new restaurants that have popped up, or wander around neighborhood haunts with someone. I don't "party" too often these days. I still go out to local bars now and then but I've also embraced my priorities and life responsibilities. Life is fun. It should be. But I'll easily sacrifice the nightly fun and games if it means I can take a fabulous vacation to parts abroad. Tokyo perhaps. Or Ireland. I've never been to either. My most recent trips were to Seattle and a return visit to Glasgow. I absolutely loved how green it was in both cities! Being there just made me unbelievably happy. I hope to go back more often to both of these cities. I've already plans to re-visit Seattle before the end of the year. I love my frequent flyer miles! A co-worker once deemed me a "free spirit", assuming since at the time, I had no relationship ties, floated between living in a couple of cities for work (which btw, I now no longer do now), and during the breathers between deadlines, immediately jumped on a plane to the UK when I could. I found the comment amusing. Not necessarily correct, but the idea of being a "traveller" is very nice. I have been told by many people, I'm very laid back, flexible, patient to the extreme, analytical vs. emotional, and don't let things get to me. All true, but I still have opinions. I'm just open to a lot of ideas and open to listening to pros and cons. I don't take life too seriously either. As mentioned, I have my responsibilities and deal with them as I should, but I'm not going to get stressed over things I have no control over. Why bother, right? Since I mentioned local music previously, The Satellite is a favorite venue. It's apt to say I love listening to music. Live, if possible. Typically the indie variety (I miss Indie 103.1), 80's alternative, and I've a definite soft spot in my heart for shoegaze. I've been out of touch with the local scene so if you know of any good local bands, please share. I loved seeing all the bands when I lived in Silver Lake a few years ago. I can appreciate creativity in general. I love art, which also includes tattoos. I have some. I like them. I don't think you need a story to get one. Sometimes art is just art and not a definition of one's innermost whatevers. I can geek out and can carry on an extended conversation regarding tattoo styles and well-known shops but it's not what makes me...me. Thanks for stopping by, perhaps we'll chat. Much luck on Match.

I just returned from Glasgow. I love the city and can't wait to go back. London too. Tokyo is a future must visit. Seattle and SF are westside favs. I love music venues. The Satelite in LA = joy.I seem to find myself in book stores often as well.
Art exhibits. I can stare at a picture for ages studying the technique of a brush stroke. I also have an interest in tattoo art. Yes, I have a couple pieces myself and yes, they're also awesome. TV choice? Bourdain of course.
I love restaurants! Trying new foods is a fantastic pleasure. Experiencing it with company makes it even better. Conversation is always fantastic, but leaving town for a brief road trip is sometimes the most relaxing and entertaining of all.
Previously immersed myself in a book on the tattoo artist, Shige. Amazing book and jaw dropping art. I'm soaking in Grime's book: Iron Will, too. It's just as amazing too. Other than that travel guides to Seattle and Glasgow.

Dar es Salaam — Tanzania has entered into a contract with Uganda to build an alternative route for the undersea cable via Mutukula to overcome the inconveniences caused by businesses persistent internet cable breakdown.
The move comes after Uganda government invited an international firm for the construction of an alternative internet cable in the country to end the ongoing connectivity blues in the landlocked country.
Mr. Nicodemus Mnungu the Tanzania Telecommunication Company Limited (TTCL), Commercial Executive, said the alternative broadband backbone will enable Uganda widen the internet transmission through and ensure internet reliability.
"Uganda is connected to Kenya cables but it also wants to have an alternative route in case of inconveniences or breakdown," Mnungu said.
Mnungu added that Uganda would be leasing the circuits to transfer their internet contents from Dar es Salaam to Mtukula border and into Uganda to boost the connectivity. The tariffs for the connectivity will depend on connection and on how much bandwidth Uganda would be using through the circuit.
"So far TTCL is also negotiating with Burundi, Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique to be connected with TTCL Broadband which is the custodian of National Information and Communication Technology Back Bone (NICTBB) that would in turn get the countries connected to world," he said.
The government said the countries were still in dialogue with TTCL and by next year if the talks go on well the connectivity procedures will start immediately.
The Director for Technical Services at National Information Technology Authority Uganda (NITA-U) Mr. Peter Kahiigi, said his government will embark on the project starting in November this year.
Kahiigi stressed every time the fibre cables are damaged in Kenya they get affected, the Mutukula- Tanzania route will ensure that they have an alternative route to tackle this challenge. The alternative route will be a welcome move by the players in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector that have for long suffered internet breakdown affecting their businesses.
Internet cafes and telecommunication companies are mostly affected when there is a disruption in internet connectivity.
ICT experts say middle-class professionals can today check their e-mails over wireless internet or portable modems in smart cafés across the country for a few dollars a month, Ugandans can access the internet on mobile phones costing less than $100 (TSh8,700).
Kahigi noted the move will benefit internet users and act as a safeguard against dependence on single cable as well as riding internet speed, access and reliability.
By 2010, the number of internet users in Uganda had risen to four million just over 10% of the population, according to the Uganda Communication commission.
The Uganda's National Information Technology Authority, construction of the alternative cable through Tanzania will be funded by the government and various supporters.
According to the global broadband targets, internet user penetration should clock the 60% mark worldwide by 2015, with at least 50% in developing countries and 15% for least developed countries.
Tanzania's NICTBB has reached all border points of the country and TTCL has already illustrated its capability by getting the Tsh10.7bn ($6.7m) contracts to supply 1.244 gigabytes of internet bandwidth to Rwanda for years.
Minister for Communications, Science and Technology, Prof Makame Mbalawa, said TTCL winning is a testimony to the neighboring countries and to the world at large that the decision by Tanzania government to massively invest in the Tsh314bn ($200m) NICTBB aimed at making Tanzania as a hub for ICT.
"It could be wise for the Neighboring countries to use the opportunity ahead of them because being connected with Tanzania's bandwidth will greatly enhance the performance of their countries hence increase efficiency indifferent sectors of the economy," Mbalawa said.

> I'm trying to learn the arcane art of kernel compiles
You need to get this out of your head -- there's nothing arcane about
compiling a kernel. It should be a very common and natural thing for you to
The arcane part is done by the developers, namely writing the code and
getting the dependencies straight.
Although I'm sure there are developers who'd say that I should get THAT
notion out of my head...

You should really tell us when in the boot process it panics.
I've found the most common reasons for panics during the boot phase of a
home compiled kernel:
* you forgot to type "lilo".
* something important was built as a module and it shouldn't have
(no more initrd).
* forgot to build your root filesystem's filesystem into the kernel.
* forgot to include the proper IDE / mobo chipset support.
That's an exhaustive list as far as my personal experience goes. I'm sure
there's others.

You can see what dpkg installed on your system with:
dpkg -L packagename
I myself don't use the Debian Way for kernel compiles. Probably because at
this point, I'm an old dog who doesn't want to learn a new trick.
But to answer your question, your kernel is likely to be in /boot with a
symlink to /.
Your modules are located in /lib/modules/x.y.z.

Bedford Park, IL (PRWEB) April 08, 2014
"It is extremely unfortunate when any American loses their job and along with it their job-based health insurance coverage," began Bill Hallberg, Chief Enrollment Officer, ACA Marketplace Enrollment Solutions (ACAMES). "The good news is that with the Affordable Care Act, consumers now have two laws that protect them by providing health insurance coverage options and potentially saving them money on their health insurance premiums. Additionally, for the first time, consumers have an affordable choice beyond the traditional extended job-based health insurance coverage, COBRA."
Educate Yourself On The Facts Surrounding Loss of Job-Based Health Insurance:
"It's a fact that many consumers choose COBRA coverage due to lack of information about their other health insurance options. They may not be aware of the new laws that protect them as a result of the Affordable Care Act," remarked Hallberg. "Additionally, many individuals do not realize that they have a 60-day window under the special enrollment provision to consider their options and decide on whether to enroll for quality and affordable insurance in the Health Insurance Marketplace, or elect the Cobra continuation of coverage option" Hallberg concluded.
Many people shy away from the Marketplace option because they do not know where to turn for Health Insurance Marketplace enrollment assistance. This is where ACAMES' team of licensed and CMS certified health insurance professionals could assist consumers.
Who is ACA Marketplace Enrollment Solutions?
What Value Does ACA Marketplace Enrollment Solutions Provide Consumers?
1. Help you shop and compare. ACAMES' licensed and certified insurance professionals can first educate the consumer regarding the new health insurance laws. Second, they can compare the health insurance plans, benefits, and premiums offered through the Health Insurance Marketplace.
2. Determine if you qualify for a government offered health insurance subsidy. Through the Marketplace you'll also learn if you qualify for free or low-cost coverage from various plans offered on the Marketplace.
3. Explain the rules that apply when entering the Health Insurance Marketplace following the open enrollment period. The team at ACAMES can thoroughly explain the rules and closing dates that apply. Loss of job-based health insurance is considered a "qualifying event" under the Affordable Care Act. There is only a 60 day window, based on the date the job-based health insurance is discontinued, to be eligible for coverage through the marketplace.
4. Accessible to their customers. Staffed Monday through Friday 8 a.m. thru 8 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. through 3 p.m. CST, enrollment agents stand ready to assist clients with their health insurance needs.

Reforms in IIT entrance exam make schools central to the learning process
The reforms in the entrance examination for the IITs are welcome because they introduce board marks as a meaningful input in the selection process. For years,the IIT-JEE system has been considering how to factor in board results. The first step,taken in 2006,was to require students to get at least 60 per cent in board exams,but this had little impact,since in this age of marks inflation it was a very low cut-off. Attempts to increase the cut-off to 80 per cent in 2009 met with stiff resistance and had to be abandoned.
All these years,the school system has been neglected by bright students who are sent away to coaching institutes. As a result,schooling has suffered. The reform is a small step towards making the school system central to a students learning experience.
For years,I have seen a tussle between coaching institutes and the IIT faculty that sets the question papers for the JEE. Most of the time,the coaching institutes have come out on top in these tussles. This is not surprising as the members of the IIT faculty who set the question papers have no experience teaching in schools and so papers tend to get tougher every year. Errors in questions have also become common.
I support the reforms because I have found the IIT-JEE system slow to respond to changes because of the way the organisation of the JEE shifts from one IIT to another every year. After the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) was introduced in 2002,the IIT system was following the AIEEEs innovations. Online application,multiple rounds of admissions and online counselling are some of the features that the IIT system adopted from the AIEEE. Further,the increase in the number of students had stretched the IIT system,which was finding it difficult to handle the growing size.
Also,in the new format,allocations of seats for the NITs and the IITs will be done together. This is a good step because many seats in the IITs remain vacant as students opt for a branch of their choice in an NIT,giving up the IIT seat they had got in a branch and an institute low in their priority. After the IITs introduced multiple rounds of admissions,the seat allocation for NITs too was affected when students got IIT seats in later rounds of allocation. A common examination also sends a message to society that an NIT education is as valuable as an IIT education. It can only help the brand name of NITs and this in turn will help ease the pressure on IIT admissions.
As an IITian and an IIT director,I am confident of the quality of the IIT system,and am not afraid of any dilution of standards of incoming students. Bright students will continue to enter the IITs even after these reforms. I confess that I am unable to judge what the best method for admissions is as there are many factors at play,some in contradiction with others.

I bought the unit a few months back and had no problem setting it up at all, I noticed a few people have issues with getting the rear speakers to work - well the trick is to go into menu and have the unit pair it's self with the rear speaker receiver just as you would do a mobile phone with a blue tooth ear piece. As with anything a learning curve may present it's self but with patience it usually can be done, the HDMI input would have been nice but not a major issue since it has the HDMI Output which is what really counts for a good picture and optical is offered on most new TV's anyway and does a nice job as well. I am sure there are better choices for some who lack the Tec savvy to get through some problems but you can always call Tec support. There is however a version down from this one for a 100 dollars less that does not have the wireless rear speakers and that may be the best one for you it is the same exact system except it just does not have the wireless rear speaker function, "Note" the receiver must be in line of site with the Blueray unit with no major obstructions and at a specified distance. Over all I am satisfied with the unit it was cutting edge technology at the time of purchase and had everything I needed, the only thing is that I wish is was a little less pricy but I added 4 years warranty to the deal so I am good to go for a while. Hope this helps readers it is a nice unit if you get it setup correctly.

LG smart bluray 3d home theater system is awesome!
By Alex2013LG
from New York City, USA
My LG's Model #BH6820SW smart blu-ray 3D 5.1 home theater system has been amazingly entertaining everybody in my family with my LG's WIFI Smart 3D TV 1080p/120hz (LG's Model #32LM6200). This 5.1 home theater system is so awesome! These speakers are so small in size, but their powerful 1000W Dolby True HD surround sound is so real, including the two beautifully designed small WIFI rear speakers, which can be placed anywhere in my house. The entire system is so human-intelligent and super user friendly for all adults and kids. In short, my LG's Smart Blu-ray 3D 5.1 home theater system & my LG's WIFI 3D LED TV (which came with 6 pairs of 3D glasses) are far beyond being SMART! Having LG's latest smart products, my busy life has been greater & happier!!

The sound quality is great. The bluray player works awesome. I have yet been able to use 3D because I don't have a 3D TV yet. Otherwise everything is great.
This product has many great features.
By Nancy10
from WA
The system was fairly easy to set up and, when I did have a question, I called the number listed and LG answered the call ... on a Sunday evening no less ... and helped me complete the installation. I'm using the system with an LG HDTV and the two work seamlessly together. The picture is amazing and all the extra features (ie. streaming of Netflix and Pandora) make it simply the best home entertainment system I have ever had! It looks amazing too - very sleek. My ONLY complaint would be that the user manual could be a little more complete/descriptive as could the website. The wireless rear speakers are not truly wireless - they are connected to a base via speaker wires.
Great value!

We bought this Home Theater unit (BH6820SW) to pair up with our new LG 55LS4600 television. The installation and set up was a breeze. The results have been fantastic! Great picture along with great sound has made for a very nice entertainment system. Navigation through the programming could not be easier. I would recommend this combination to anybody!

It was not hard to set up. The wireless speakers worked the first time. The sound is great through the Blu-ray player. Picture is very clear. I haven't been able to get the Directv sound to go through the system yet though. I am still working on that. My daughter is very pleased with the sound.

This is the first time I have ever used surround sound and it is amazing. Such an improvement over the standard TV speakers. I am very happy with this purchase and plan on buying another one soon.

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation President Rings Bell to Close New York Stock Exchange
Federal Realty Investment Trust Invites Foundation to celebrate scientific advancements that have fueled longer life for people with CF
May 13, 2008
(Bethesda, M.D.)—To celebrate remarkable progress in treating cystic fibrosis—a fatal genetic disease—Federal Realty Investment Trust invited the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to join the company as honored guests of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) today.
Life expectancy for people with CF has more than doubled in the past 25 years, as a result of scientific advances fueled by the Foundation. When the Foundation was established in 1955, few children with the disease lived to attend elementary school. Today, the median predicted age of survival for people with CF is 37 years.
In recognition of the Foundation's achievements and National CF Awareness Month, Robert J. Beall, Ph.D., president and CEO of the Foundation and Donald Wood, president and CEO of Federal Realty Investment Trust, rang the NYSE bell signaling the close of the market at 4:00 p.m. today.
"We are pleased and honored to take part in this distinguished NYSE tradition," said Beall. "People with cystic fibrosis are living longer than ever, and we are excited about this tremendous progress. At the same time, there is much work to be done in the fight against this devastating disease."
To advance the search for a cure, the Foundation has built a "pipeline of promise" with more than 30 therapies in development for cystic fibrosis, and invested nearly $300 million in CF research in the biotech industry since 1998. For the first time in the history of the disease, the Foundation's pipeline has drugs under development that target the root causes of cystic fibrosis—not just the symptoms. If successful, these therapies will add decades of life for people with CF.
Virtually every approved CF drug available today was made possible because of Foundation support. Since the 1980s, the Foundation has played an integral role in the development of Pulmozyme, TOBI, azithromycin and hypertonic saline for use as CF treatments.
"This is truly an exciting time for the CF community, with so many promising therapies in development," said Federal Realty Investment Trust president and CEO Donald Wood. "We are more passionate than ever about the Foundation's critical work to cure and control cystic fibrosis."
Federal Realty Investment Trust is an equity real estate investment trust specializing in the ownership, management, development, and redevelopment of high quality retail assets. Federal Realty is an S&P MidCap 400 company and its shares are traded on the NYSE under the symbol FRT.
About the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the leading organization in the United States devoted to curing and controlling cystic fibrosis. Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., the Foundation has more than 80 chapters and branch offices throughout the country and supports and accredits a nationwide network of 115 care centers, which provide vital treatments and other CF resources to patients and families.

Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Sleeping Pad
The Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Sleeping Pad is an insulated sleeping pad for three season backpacking. The logo side has PrimaLoft Synergy, a synthetic insulation, laminated to it for a warmer sleep. The pad cradles your body, by having a three inch center, with three and a half inch on the outsides.

Let me start off by saying Big Agnes has outstanding customer service. Unfortunately I had to find out that BA has outstanding customer service because I have now had 2 pads go flat. My first lasted 18-20 nights before it started leaking from pin hole leaks near the seam. I called BA and it was replaced no questions asked. The 2nd pad developed a small pin hole near the seam within 5 nights. I do appreciate BA's outstanding customer service but that does not help keep my Air Core inflated 8 hours a night.
I was skeptical buying this because i have always used roll out pads not inflatable ones, but this was so worth it! It is beyond comfortable and seems very durable. It is also very lightweight and compactible, only take 1-2 min. to inflate.only downside is It takes a while to fully deflate and fold up
This is a very comfortable air mattress, probably the most comfortable I've ever had. I used it in conjunction with the Big Agnes Lost Ranger bag that has a pocket for it to slide into. These bags do not have insulation on the bottom and rely on the pad to keep you warm. However, except for summer camping, I have not been warm using this pad (and I regularly sweat out of my sleeping bags). I have used it for some Sierra backpacking in late May sleeping in the open air and was very cold most nights. The other big drawback is that it is a very thick pad and exhausting to inflate. It does pack down small and the weight is about average. The only other issue I have with these pads is they seem to leak quite easily. This is my second pad, after my first one had a leaky valve. Big Agnes customer service is awesome and I got a new pad, but it too sprung a slow leak for unknown reasons. Field patching is easy, if you can find the leak. Price is good, comfort is great, but I won't buy it again.
My son received a Big Agnes sleeping bag as a gift for going into Boy Scouts and we (I) decided that we meaning my son would use one of the sleeping pads I already had. To my dismay my existing sleeping pads did not works as well with his sleeping bag as I hoped so after more research we decided to go with the Big Agnes sleeping pad as recommend. What a difference the sleeping pad and bag together makes it does everything it says it will do and my son absolutely loves it. If you are going to buy a Big Agnes sleeping bag system then make sure you go with the Big Agnes sleeping pad you will not be sorry. Two thumbs up.
I like this pad, it's light, packs very small, comfortable and keep me warm during the cold night out. It's not easy to blow air into the pad after a whole day long trip though, so, I highly recommended the pumphouse to save your energy and prevent humidity built up inside the pad.I have used this for a few trips and it started to leak without any known reasons. I have not used the fix kit, and hopefully, it will "heal the wound" and I can use it again in future trips!
Having slept on the thermal rest pro lite a couple times, I have to say that this pad is much more comfortable. Although it is larger and a heavier, for me, having that little bit of wiggle room with how much air you put in is a luxury I won't soon give up. Finding it a bit too stiff when fully inflated, I let some of the air out and got the perfect amount of support and cushion. Because the pad is thicker, you can find a happy medium between fully inflated and laying on the floor. Because I'm cheap, I opted not to purchase the longer version of this, and at 5'9, I barely fit on it length-wise. I don't mind a little bit of overhang, but if you're 5'9 plus and want to be completely on the pad, I'd recommend the long. It rolls up to a reasonable size. I use a bladder, so I just shove it in the water bottle holder of my backpack and it fits perfectly. I've taken it on two trips since I've gotten out and slept comfortably through the night on both. Overall great pad. Very comfortable.
I just recently bought this for backpacking parts of the AT, I was looking for one that i could use in my hammock and let me tell you this is definitely the right sleeping pad to buy. I would recommend this to anyone who is going backpacking, also for anyone who camps using hammocks. This pad does not take very long to blow up and provides a very good cushion. It deflates and packs up into a cinch sack very quickly and easily.
LOVE this sleeping pad. I always had trouble sleeping when I went backpacking with my old pad, so I decided to buy this. Not only did it keep me warm, the support and comfort made for a great night's sleep. This pad made my trip so much more enjoyable. It packs up easily and is so compact.

The Orange Box
Score: 10 / 10
Christmas indeed came early for Xbox 360 owners with The Orange Box, Electronic Arts/Valve Software's compilation of all things Half-Life 2. Not only does The Orange Box have a next-gen Half-Life 2 offering, there are the first two episodes of the planned trilogy, too. It doesn't stop there, though. Also squeezed into The Orange Box is a new and uniquely challenging FPS-puzzler, Portal, along with the excellent online-only Team Fortress 2. Generosity amongst gaming publishers never reaches this level. That's five superlative titles (even if two are rather short episodic additions to the Half-Life 2 story) for one price. And yes, the box is indeed orange.
Half-Life 2 (left); Portal (right)
After playing The Orange Box, I can't believe I hadn't given Half-Life 2 and the story of one Gordon Freeman – hero of the bleak, apocalyptic alien-infested earth's future, battling monstrosities both small and large – a try before now. Half-Life 2 truly is an epic gaming adventure, deserving of all the praise heaped upon it.
Half-Life 2 is much more than the typical FPS fare, requiring much more Rodin-esque thinking and analytical puzzle-solving than ever found in a FPS –
especially when compared to the "shoot everything that moves, then think, maybe." gameplay found in Halo 3.
Broken down in basic terms, Half-Life 2 and its two episodes must be tackled using a strategic approach: observe your surroundings, then determine the solution necessary to solve each puzzle you'll face and
act accordingly (sometimes while being pursued by slobbering things). The three Half-Life 2 titles collectively found in The Orange Box are a challenge for any gamer, where it's mind-power over matter, literally, throughout.
The only small negatives are some unexpected load times that pop up and interrupt the action during Half-Life 2 gaming and the fact that gamers will have to wait until Episode Three is released sometime in the future to complete the Half-Life 2 trilogy.
Then we have the two non-Half Life 2 titles to consider: Portal and Team Fortress 2. Portal is an amazing new game that has created a new genre: the FPS-puzzler. Using the portal gun, gamers must open portals from one room to another in a mouse-in-the-maze experiment. But it's not that simple. Gamers need to open the correct portal while avoiding pifalls and solve puzzles that open up other rooms to visit with yet another puzzle to figure out. By far the hardest task in The Orange Box is solving the many mysteries of Portal.
Half-Life 2: Episode 2 (left); Team Fortress 2 (right)
And finally, the cherry on the top of The Orange Box is Team Fortress 2. Never having played Team Fortress before, I was expecting an online multiplayer FPS similar to Halo 3. Instead, the object in Team Fortress 2 is not to shoot everything in sight (although there's plenty of shooting and kills to accumulate) but rather work in the role of one of a respective team's members (spy, scout, engineer, medic, heavy, sniper, solider, pyro and demoman) as a team together, with each member bringing his respective skills to play in point-capture gameplay.
Succulent and juicy sweet gaming goodness – The Orange Box is waiting to be unpeeled. EA/Valve could have easily sold Half-Life 2 along with Episode One and Two as one game and Portal and Team Fortress 2 as another. But instead, gamers have them all together, and with all five titles excellent unto themselves, having them bundled for one price is an unbelievably spectacular bargain that every Xbox 360 owner should take advantage of.

I don't generally read Young Adult novels. I don't. But I really enjoy this series by Cecily Von Ziegesar. I just finished I Like It Like That, which is number 4 or 5 in the series.
The characters are all upper East side, private prep school, socialite teens. They have their own credit cards and drop wads of money at the drop of a name brand. I think the idea is supposed to be that even kids who have it all have all the same problems as regular kids. You know… Who's going out with whom? Will I get into a good college? How hot will I look in those $2000 shoes? Oh wait. That's not right. Well, something like that. I just get a huge kick out of the total fantasy life. Giant apartments and tons of money. Glamorous parties and gallons of alcohol.
As a parent, it's a lesson in how not to raise teenagers. Point taken.

Some of the fast-moving action sequences in films such as Rocky and Return of the Jedi were filmed with handheld cameras using a device known as Steadicam. The sequences do not have the jittery camerawork characteristic of home videos because the Steadicam uses an elaborate system of springs and weights attached to a body harness to isolate the camera from the movements of the body.
Garrett Brown, inventor of the device, won a technical Oscar, and its television equivalent the Emmy, for his development of the device. The original system costs $40,000 (about 20,000 Pounds) and has been used in hundreds of TV programmes, advertisements and films. Today, over 500 professional Steadicams are in use around the world.
Now the hordes of amateur Steven Speilbergs can achieve the same effects with a consumer version, the Steadicam JR. The $595 camera platform dispenses with the body harness and has instead a ...

IBAF-ISF Agree to Engage Olympic Bid Strategist Helios Partners
PLANT CITY, Fla. - Following the recent decisions by the International Baseball Federation (IBAF) and International Softball Federation (ISF) to merge into a single international federation, senior officials from these world governing bodies held a series of meetings in the past two days in Lausanne, Switzerland, to positively move forward with their plans.
High on the agenda was the Olympic campaign strategy as the merged body seeks their sports' (women's softball and men's baseball) inclusion on the 2020 Olympic Games Programme.
The newly formed organization must also obtain official IOC recognition as the International Federation governing both baseball and softball.
In the interim, the baseball and softball leaders continue to actively discuss common long-term plans for the development of the sports.
One of the first important decisions taken by the heads of IBAF-ISF was the engagement of Olympic bid specialists, Helios Partners.
The Atlanta-based firm has a notable track record of helping manage winning Olympic bid campaigns.
Helios will provide critical support to the ISF & IBAF team on preparing the presentations to the IOC Olympic Programme Commission in December and the IOC Executive Board in May 2013, as well as the overall strategy for the campaign.
"We have achieved incredible progress on the merger in a very short period of time, and now we have to really move forward decidedly in other areas", said Don Porter, ISF President. "We needed a highly professional and experienced agency to support our efforts, and we could not think of better partner than Helios".
"By combining into a single IF, we now need to bring our athletes and sports back to the forefront and focus on preparing our case for the exceptional value baseball and softball bring to the Olympic Movement." said Riccardo Fraccari, IBAF President. "We have a great story to tell and Helios is the perfect partner to help us articulate that".
"We are honoured to work alongside these two great sports, played and enjoyed by millions of men, women, boys and girls around the world, to help return them to the Olympic Programme as a single, unified and inclusive federation," said Helios president, Terrence Burns. "Together, baseball and softball will reinforce the Olympic ideals at sport's grassroots level in hundreds of countries around the globe."

[Update: Click here to see the results of the survey.]
Should Broad Branch Road be more welcoming to pedestrians and cyclists? Or should it be left pretty much as it is now?
Representatives from DDOT (DC Department of Transportation) and consultants Parsons Transportation Group held a public meeting on November 8th at the Methodist Home. At this meeting, they laid out their design objectives (see this survey for details) and four possible plans for the rehabilitation of a 1.7 mile stretch of Broad Branch, between Linnean Avenue and Beach Drive. The alternatives, as DDOT describes them, are below. Click on the accompanying images to see a larger version.
Candidate Build Alternative 2
Alternative 2 represents the minimum width alternative that meets the project's purpose and need. Along the entire length of Broad Branch Road, this alternative consists of two 10-foot wide travel lanes with standard curb and gutter on both sides of the roadway. A new T-intersection is proposed at Brandywine Street. New 5-foot wide sidewalk will be provided on west side of the roadway extending from Linnean Avenue for approximately 1,000 feet along the open green space. Retaining walls will be provided on both the sides to keep proposed improvements within existing right-of-way. The existing storm drain outfall locations will be maintained and stormwater management will be improved by providing bio-swales/rain gardens where space is available along with water quality catch basins. An optional 5-foot wide sidewalk can be provided on west side from Soapstone Creek to the parking lot entrance just north of Beach Drive.
Candidate Build Alternative 3
Alternative 3 consists of two 10-foot wide travel lanes with standard curb and gutter on both sides of the entire roadway. A new T-intersection is proposed at Brandywine Street. This alternative will also have a 6-foot wide sidewalk on the west side of the roadway for the entire length. A 4-foot wide planting strip will separate the sidewalk and roadway in several sections. Additional right-of-way will be required to accommodate the proposed sidewalk and planting strip. Retaining walls will be provided on both sides of the roadway to minimize steep side slopes. The existing storm drain outfall locations will be maintained and stormwater management will be improved by providing bio-swales/rain gardens where space is available along with water quality catch basins.
Candidate Build Alternative 4
Alternative 4 is the widest of the project alternatives and consists of two 10-foot wide travel lanes, a 4-foot wide bike lane on east side, and standard curb and gutter on both sides of the roadway. A new T-intersection is proposed at Brandywine Street. A 4-foot wide planting strip will separate the sidewalk and roadway in several sections. Additional right-of-way will be required to accommodate proposed sidewalk and planting strip. Retaining walls will be provided on both sides of the roadway to minimize steep side slopes. The existing storm drain outfall locations will be maintained and stormwater management will be improved by providing bio-swales/rain gardens where space is available along with water quality catch basins.
The meeting was well-attended. Folks wandered through the displays and DDOT folks and consultants answered questions. There was no formal presentation or time for questions.
Newly-elected ANC 3F commissioners Sally Gresham, David Lowell, Manolis Priniotakis and Mary Beth Ray were there. ANC 3F07's Bob Summersgill stopped by. A few members of the Methodist Home also popped in to see what was going on.
A couple of attendees from Chevy Chase were concerned about the retaining walls and disturbing the nature of Rock Creek Park. Bob Summersgill thought the proposed bike trail did not go far enough in promoting bike access along this stretch. Steve Dryden, a member of the Rock Creek Conservancy, brought up the possibility of making that stretch one way during rush hour and allow cyclists and pedestrians use the other lane. I talked to Bob about lowering the speed limit to 15 miles an hour, enforced by speed cameras, so bikes and cars could more safely share the road.
More detailed descriptions of the objectives and the four designs can be found at www.broadbranchrdea.com. You may also click here to download a brochure they were handing out at the meeting.
We would like to know your thoughts on this project. Please take our survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/5Z6RVFS, and tell us what you think in the comments section below.
This message is for our Forest Hills neighbors. This is from Gale Black, Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner for ANC 4A08 (Crestwood). We may be risking the loss of Broad Branch if the city does not fix the infrastructure and control the water run-off. Yet, instead of effectively maintaining this road, it is wasting time and money studying alternative uses. The public needs to understand that the "do nothing" alternative is just that. Do nothing. Not fix the road. Not adequately manage the storm water overflow. We could lose the road by neglect.
Right now, the city is under an obligation to maintain and preserve its current inventory of roads. Why is that not being done? Where is the accountability? The other "alternative" options are likely not feasible, because the city only has 30 feet within which to work. There is not enough room for adding on-road amenities. And, if you change this alignment of this historic road, it is likely to have the same fate as Klingle Road - which was a "back-door" closure - without going through the Street and Alley Closing Act. The current use (two-way public vehicular use) should be on the list of reasonable alternatives. Is the public being given the option to keep Broad Branch? "Doing nothing" does not do that.
I am a daily cyclist of Broad Branch Road so I read this post with some interest (I unfortunately missed the meeting). Although it only makes up about a tenth of my total commute, my time spent every morning and evening on Broad Branch is very nerve-wracking. There's no room for cars to pass me within the lane and with the plethora of blind corners there are really no chances to safely move into the opposite lane. Despite this unsafe situation it's very rare that a car coming up behind me will elect not to pass me, despite the fact that I travel on average at 20 mph. Usually it goes off without a hitch, yet it is almost a daily occurrence that a driver decides to either carelessly or out of anger gun their engine and pass me within 2 feet or, even worse, begin to pass around a blind corner and then have to cut me off (or run me off the road) as a car appears coming from the other direction. I don't suspect many drivers care about the stress this adds to my day (they show no outward signs of it) so I have to advocate for either separated bike and pedestrian facilities or for strict enforcement of unsafe passing and speeding.
I am confused by the person who said they are trying to stop Broad Branch from becoming a highway - the lack of shoulders have made it in practice a limited access road (despite the faded "Bikes in Roadway" signs along it) and it's a road that drivers overwhelmingly speed on. I don't see any of the alternatives proposing to add lanes or increase the speed limit and all but the No Action alternative will make it a bit more feasible to use as a pedestrian or cyclist, which is a hallmark of non-highways. We at least need pedestrian access between the Peirce Mill and the Soapstone Valley Trail, so alternative one is not acceptable. I was happy to read that some of the attendees at the meeting advocated for pedestrian and cyclist access.
The part of Broad Branch Road that needs an upgrade the most is the the section from Beach Drive to Brandywine Street. This is because in this stretch there are no reasonable alternatives to connect the park with the neighborhoods to the (north) west. Once a pedestrian or bicyclist has reached Brandywine Street from the park, they can safely find alternative routes to their destination.
For that reason, highest priority should be given to upgrade this stretch (between Brandywine and Beach Drive) to allow pedestrians and bicyclists safe passage to the park. The rejuvenation of other parts could be delayed if there are important resource constraints (though it would be nice to proceed with the entire section to Linnean Avenue as proposed).
To remove some of the current dangers to pedestrians and bicyclists Alternative 4 must be chosen. It is the only alternative that allows the very users of the park to get there safely. Indeed, further enhancements to separate cars from the bicycle lane could be considered (small curb, vertical posts, etc.). It would be far better to implement Alternative 4 along this short stretch of the road than Alternatives 1 or 2 along the entire stretch of the road.
ANC 3F will only take action, for or against any plan, after a public meeting. ANC 3F has a record of supporting better bicycle and pedestrian facilities. I do not speak for the ANC, and neither does Commissioner Beach. The only positions held by the ANC are those voted on at public meetings.
As noted in the article, I strongly favor having bicycle lanes--or separate trails in the park--so that we can keep cars, bicyclists, and pedestrians separated. Mixing these transportation modes in the same space leads to accidents as the three tend to move at different speeds. --Commissioner Bob Summersgill, ANC 3F07
This is my comment; I have sent this also to Stephen Walter, Project Engineer with Parsons Transportation Group:
Candidate Build Alternative 4 is much to be preferred. It represents the most appropriate 6-foot wide sidewalk on the high side of the roadway (land-side as opposed to water-side), and dimly shows, in the sections only, a field stone-clad wall atop the concrete structure that will be visible to most commuters and tourists. Notably, it is the most expensive of the 4 alternatives presented, but is the most forward-looking.
The proposed new T-intersection at Brandywine Street might be eliminated from the cost of the project if there only were enforcement of the Stop Sign now located on the downhill side of Brandywine Street, at which almost no one stops. This is an invitation to head-on collisions by downhill traffic avoiding stopping altogether, despite the Stop Sign.
It is impossible, unless one reads the sections carefully, to note that the long yellow lines indicating the project termini represent "retaining walls" intended for both sides of the roadway improvement.
It will be necessary to acquire land for the widening of the road -- urgently needed -- from Linnean Avenue to Beach Drive; part of the property immediately south of Brandywine Street belongs to the Malaysian Embassy, and another part, just north of the new Soapstone Culvert/Bridge, belongs to the Italian Embassy.
Whichever Candidate Build alternative is chosen, the landscaping should be considered and should reflect field-stone walls along both sides, in deference to the design style specified by Frederick Law Olmsted, deceased, but important, landscape architect for the National Park Service.
It is not clear that "[t]he existing storm drain outfall locations will be maintained and that stormwater management will be improved by providing bio-swales/rain gardens where space is available along with water-quality catch basins."
It is noted that the catch basin in the middle of the driveway from Broad Branch Road leading up to the several single-family homes above the frontage properties on Brandywine Street is defective. Hence, all of the water flowing down the driveway floods the intersection just south of Brandywine Street regularly. Proper size pipes are needed both above and below this catch basin, but no mention is made of this issue in the description of the proposed project. This matter was discussed knowledgeably with the engineer in charge of the Soapstone-to-Beach Drive segment of the proposed project.
Please include these comments in the Environmental Assessment scheduled for winter 2013.
The District Department of Transportation is to be complimented for its forthright response to these issues as presented in the public meeting on November 8.
Dorn McGrath, Jr.
I have lived at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue & Tilden Street in (what is now) 3F07 for over 35 years. (Before that, I lived near Connecticut & Nebraska.) During my many years here I have traveled via Broad Branch Road as an almost daily route to relatives who lived on Broad Branch and as a route to and from friends, activities and errands at Chevy Chase Circle and beyond.
I appreciate the desires of pedestrians and bicyclists to also walk or bike along Broad Branch Road and the Broad Branch Tributary to Rock Creek Park and hope that an amenable compromise can be reached.
But right now my biggest concerns include the roadway's narrow lanes, the winding nature of the road, the many large trees which have fallen along the hillside and seem precariously ready to slide into the roadway or into the path of an approaching car, the excessive rate of speed that many vehicles travel, (often traveling at such high rates of speed that their cars cannot maintain their own lanes and end up temporarily crossing the center line into the path of other oncoming vehicular traffic) and the unsafe speeding, tailgating, and other reckless behaviors that many other drivers using the road currently seem to employ on a daily basis.
Last night alone, my husband and I were driving home from Chevy Chase Circle via Broad Branch at 8:00 p.m.; it was already pitch-dark. A large SUV behind us was tailgating behind us at an uncomfortable rate of speed and proximity. We put on our hazard lights to gently indicate, "Hey - you're a little close there, fella..." Usually that temporary measure is enough to ensure the driver behind us slows down enough to give us some reasonable breathing room. Instead, the other driver's solution was to angrily speed up (wish I could use all caps here) and pass us by crossing the double yellow line. At high speed. In the dark.
While I am not usually a proponent of speed cameras, I will say that there needs to be an increased MPD or Park Police presence along stretches of this road and that tickets with high fines should be delivered to drivers who practice unsafe behavior.
The road will never be safe for walkers and bicyclists until it is first safe for existing automobile traffic.
Jaynie Simmons-Taylor
Here since '74 and hoping to stay for a while longer...
We have lived in Chevy Chase DC since 1970 and hope to live here a few more years. We use Broad Branch, via 27th St., as our main route downtown via Rock Creek Parkway. My husband commutes on it. We use it via 36th St. to get to Conn. Ave. and via Fessenden to get to upper Wisconsin Ave and to avoid the traffic jams on Nebraska and Military Rd.
We have walked that way to the zoo and to Murch. Our children have biked it and hunted for tadpoles in the creek. They did not do this after dark and during that time we were cautious of traffic but never felt in danger. I see very little evidence of speeding because the road is so winding.
I see no reason to tear up parkland and a very convenient neighborhood by-way. It would require acquiring rights of way from private homes as well as Embassies and the Park. On that winding road the hills come down to the road and there is very little space between the road and the creek on the other side.
After the city built the very nice bike/pedestrian path on Beach Drive bikers still insist on using the road sometimes two abreast. I see no reason these bikers would not continue to do so along Broad Branch.
Therefore I see no reason to tear up Broad Branch and inconvenience the many for the benefit of the few. I vote for Option #1.
Ann, Neal,
You may wish to take another look at the proposals. This is about providing safe access for pedestrians and bicyclists to the park along a busy road--not about making it more attractive to cars.
The road is far from safe and quite--it already is extremely busy with cars, particularly during rush hour. Let it also be busy with pedestrians and bicyclists (and as a result perhaps even take away some of the traffic).
Speed bumps and speed cameras will only result in slow traffic near those 'obstacles'--they will not provide physical safety for the more vulnerable forms of transport along the entire stretch.
I value parkland and trees, too. But I value human lives even more! I'd rather lose a tree than a person.
The occasional bikers slowing traffic on Beach Drive don't even come close to the hoards of cyclists and pedestrians using the path in the park. These users need safe access to and from the path. Let them share it with those who rather drive.

6 Things We Learned About Revenge Season 2, Episode 9, "Revelations," From the Promo (VIDEO)
While we were still trying to process all of the flashback-y goodness in last night's episode of Revenge, ABC hit us with one of its most thrilling promos yet. Next week's episode is the winter finale of the hit show, so it's guaranteed to be good.
Read on to find out all of the craziness set to hit the Hamptons:
1) Baptism of Baby Carl David
We thought young Carl David might get a baptism, but we were surprised that Fauxmanda didn't burst into flames upon setting foot in church. However, it seems like someone else has been sinning.
"I saw you at church," Amanda said to Emily. "How you looked at Jack and me."
This could be edited in a way that just makes us believe Amanda's on to Emily's affections for Jack, but we have a feeling she'll figure it out soon enough.
2) Ashley and Conrad Get Freaky — and Victoria Finds Out
It's time for us to take our bow, Revengers. We've thought something might be going on between Ashley and Conrad since she slid a bit too comfortably into her brand new Lexus in Season 1, but no one expected Victoria to be the one to catch them in the act.
Apparently there's some video footage (courtesy of Emily Thorne?) of the two getting frisky on Connie's desk. Tsk-tsk, little lady.
"You misunderstand," Ashley tells Victoria in the promo.
"Which part? That you seduced my husband?," Victoria retorts.
So. Many. Feelings.
3) Daniel Catches Ashley With a Bearded Man
So apparently Ash isn't just getting her kicks from Daniel and his proud papa — it turns out the formerly hookin' hottie enjoys spending her time in bathrobes with bearded men in their golden years. Yikes!
"This isn't what you think it is," Ashley claims, to which Daniel rightful replies, "You disgust me!"
Boom. Roasted.
4) Victoria Points a Gun With an Extremely Long Barrel
Has Victoria been wronged one too many times? Probably, but that's not why she's pointing this gun. Though ABC would like us to think she was aiming for Ashley's head, a few context clues tell us the truth behind this shot. Victoria's sporting a ruffled white shirt and brown vest, which she was spotted wearing last month when the cast was filming a scene at a skeet shooting event. And since Vicki's participating, chances are it's for some obscure charity.
5) Jack Finds Something Suspicious
Next we see Jack pointing a flashlight at something white in his hand. We have a feeling this could be Carl Porter Sr.'s gun that his buddy Matt Duncan used to off Ryan Sr., and because Matt used Carl's gun, Kenny and Nate think that Carl killed their father. That means Jack and Declan could be in some serious trouble, which brings us to ...
6) Charlotte Warns Jack, and They Run Toward a Bloody Hand
"He's out there covered in blood," Charlotte screams to Jack.
Next we see the pair running down the dock toward a blood-covered hand reaching out for help. Naturally, we're led to believe that this hand belongs to Declan since Charlotte was the one running for help, but then we see what seems to be a wedding ring on the victim's hand. That makes us think he is married, but the Decster does wear a lot of man jewelry ...
Another option might be a badly-wounded Conrad Grayson. Though they've had their differences, Charlotte would be distraught about potentially losing her father, and he was wrapped up in a cheating scandal involving his son's girlfriend. Just sayin'.

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Melissa Gorga on Teresa Giudice's Interaction With Joe: "I Wouldn't Wish That on My Worst Enemy"
Pretty much everyone saw how terribly Joe Giudice acted towards his wife Teresa Giudice in Napa. And while it might be easy for sister-in-law Melissa Gorga to rag on Teresa at a time like this (given their history and contentious relationship), Melissa actually has a tremendous amount of compassion for Tre, even if Teresa didn't give her the same level of respect in the past.
In her lastest BravoTV.com blog, Melissa writes, "I'm not going to get into the phone call we saw Joe have. I didn't like it when Teresa made accusations about my marriage, so I'm not going to do it to hers. They have four daughters that need to be protected from this, so I will leave it to Joe and Teresa to explain it. How they choose to live within their marriage has nothing to do with any of us."
She continues, reiterating just how badly she felt for Teresa while watching the episode, "I was very upset when I watched the episode, and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. We may have our differences, but I would never want this to happen to her."
Are you surprised that Melissa is being so sympathetic?

Good Vibrations
Once it was a secret; then it was a "right"; now it is a duty. So daunting a duty is orgasm that men, as Jonathan Margolis admits in his 400-page paean to sexual climax, go wild with glee when offered an electronic implant that can relieve them of the onerous duty of bringing their girlfriends to ecstasy all by themselves. Women, for their part, fake it rather than risk the traumatization of their mate. Sex in the twenty-first century is a performance sport: We are told we must "demand" orgasms; we are told we must demand lots of orgasms (for we are "multi-orgasmic"); we are told we must seize our own orgasms and offered an array of fancifully colored vibrators to stash in our bags lest any toilet break go unexploited. Men know this and they feel intimidated. Women know this and they feel inadequate. The bedroom, too often, has become a site of fear.
It's not that the sexual revelations and revolutions of the recent past have not brought considerable good. It's great that men know more about women's bodies than they did, great they no longer imagine, like the cad in Milan Kundera's 1972 novel The Joke, that any sexual exchange short of intercourse is emasculating. What's bad is that now we have books like Margolis's O: The Intimate History of the Orgasm, which insistently and insipidly fetishize orgasms--adding, thereby, not just to our fears in the erotic realm but also, paradoxically, to our boredoms. What may be worse is that such books are in sync with the zeitgeist.
To call Margolis's volume a "history" is a stretch, since he can't get basic dates straight. Shakespeare's early modern verse, for example, is discussed in a chapter on the Middle Ages. The book is better viewed as an amorphous compendium of sexual trivia, a cluttered attic of erotic curiosity. The only organizing principle in evidence is Margolis's impassioned desire to persuade us all to orgasm more "swiftly, reliably," promiscuously, frequently, independently and, above all, with less emotional and moral hocus-pocus. To this end, he tells us of Mangaia, an island in the South Pacific where everybody sleeps joyfully with everybody else and boys "are taught always to bring their partner to orgasm several times before allowing themselves to ejaculate.... The female's final orgasm should coincide precisely with the man's. The typical 18-year-old Mangaian couple," according to a 1971 study, "make love three times a night, every night."
Margolis lauds the "unusually healthy acceptance of masturbation" in Indonesia, where "parents of young children reported happily watching...their children masturbate to orgasm" and approvingly quotes a "respected academic anthropologist" who laments that most "high school students [are] induced to enjoy Elizabethan drama but in virtually no school system offered helpful hints on enjoying physical pleasure by themselves." Masturbation, it would appear, is Margolis's cause célèbre. He assesses the liberation of a society by the warmth of its celebration of masturbation.
Margolis's book provides endless opportunities to observe the limits of social science. The study that showed Mangaian women as sexually delighted was followed by studies that showed them as severely battered, for example. Margolis mentions these studies, but they in no way move him to question the initial study or to qualify his judgment of Mangaia as "a South Pacific paradise." "How do I know that [my husband] loves me if he doesn't beat me?" a typical Mangaian research subject asked when quizzed about her wounds. Suffice it to say that it is hard to imagine a man about to beat his wife to a pulp bothering to selflessly provide her with "several orgasms" beforehand. It is equally hard to believe the first study could have obtained any of its precise figures credibly: exactly three simultaneous climaxes a night, every night, always? Know the Mangaians no variety, no fatigue? Or were they simply misleading the scientists as surely as the Sudanese women who told their interlocutors they had earth-shaking climaxes after their clitorises had been cut out: "This was verified," writes the anthropologist in charge, "by their happy and highly animated demeanor as they described it." If this is science, don't give us literature.
Alas, Margolis does, and a mighty mess he makes of it. It is hard to imagine anybody reading Aldous Huxley's dystopian novel Brave New World and taking the anonymous copulation and orgasm-inducing machine in its pages for a beautiful ideal rather than bitter satire, but Margolis manages. In fact, he gamely remarks, some of Huxley's vision had already been "aspired to and achieved" in the 1960s! Only the machine itself, the "Orgasmatron" made famous by Woody Allen in Sleeper, remains frustratingly unavailable. What Margolis does for Huxley he does for the King James Bible. Champion of the clitoris that he is, he finds instructions for its use all over the Old Testament. When the female speaker in the Song of Solomon says, "Let his left hand be under my head and his right hand embrace me," Margolis can reach no other conclusion than that the Song, in this line, "certainly advises a man as clearly as possible to stimulate manually his lover's clitoris." As clearly as possible, indeed: With directions like that, no wonder it took men a few more millennia to catch the drift.
