Yutaka Sone b. 1965
Across a wide range of media—predominantly sculpture but also painting, drawing, photography, video, and performance—Yutaka Sone's work revolves around a tension between realism and perfection. A conceptual framework, paired with a meticulous attention to detail, has characterized his practice since the early 1990s, informing equally his self-contained jungle environments, life-size roller coasters, magnified snowflakes, and staged events. His sculptural works in particular attest to a profound interest in landscapes, whether natural or architectural, and their ability to capture light relates them to a genre primarily associated with painting and photography.
Born in 1965 in Shizuoka, Japan, Sone studied fine art and architecture at Tokyo Geijutsu University. In 1999, the artist joined David Zwirner, where he had his first United States solo exhibition that same year, marking the first of five at the gallery in New York. His first solo presentation at David Zwirner in London was on view November 2013 to January 2014.
In 2013, a two-person exhibition of work done in collaboration by Sone and Benjamin Weissman was presented at the Santa Monica Museum of Art in California. Sone's work was recently the subject of two solo exhibitions in Tokyo: Perfect Moment at the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery in 2011 and Snow at the Maison Hermès Le Forum in 2010. Baby Banana Tree, the artist's 25-foot tall hand-painted sculpture, was installed in 2009 as a public artwork at the Boone Sculpture Garden at Pasadena City College in Pasadena, California.
Other venues which have hosted important solo exhibitions include Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art, London (2007); Kunsthalle Bern; Aspen Art Museum, Colorado; The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago (all 2006); Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2003); and the Toyota Municipal Museum of Art, Toyota, Japan (2002). The artist represented Japan, along with Motohiko Odani, at the 50th Venice Biennale in 2003.
Sone has participated in a number of group exhibitions in the United States and abroad, including Glasstress 2011, organized as part of the 54th Venice Biennale at the Palazzo Cavalli Franchetti, Istituto Veneto di Scienze Lettere ed Arti (2011). A version of the show traveled to the Museum of Arts and Design, New York (2012). Other major group shows include the 12th Triennale Kleinplastik Fellbach, Fellbach, Germany (2013); Whitney Biennial, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2004); 25th São Paulo Biennial; 13th Biennale of Sydney (both 2002); 7th Istanbul Biennial (2001); 48th Venice Biennale (1999); among others.
Work by the artist is held in international museum collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago; High Museum, Atlanta, Georgia; Kunsthalle Bern; Mori Art Museum, Tokyo; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Gallery, London; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. He lives and works in Los Angeles.

movies you can add to your Netflix queue to give you and yours
that warm romantic feeling By Shawn Stone
The Band Wagon
is a love story set in the world of showbiz thats
also a love letter to showbiz. Fred Astaire is a has-been
Hollywood song-and-dance man returning to Broadway. Cyd Charisse
is a classical dancer making her Broadway debut. Theres an
eerie sense of mortality, as the aging hoofer faces his declining
career prospects and has to learn to dance with this young
ballerina; they fall in love as everything around them is
comically falling apart. The key moment is one of the most
graceful dance scenes either ever performed. On Vincente Minnellis
MGM soundstage vision of New Yorks Central Park, painted
skyline and all, the world glows in Technicolor as Fred and
Cyd glide to Schwartz and Dietzs haunting Dancing in the
Dark. The quicksilver aspect of love has never been evoked
in a more beautiful way.
Before Sunrise
3. Before Sunset
two films are this generations great romantic comedies. From
1995, Before Sunrise follows a just-met young couple
(Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke) as they wander around Vienna.
They talk about everything and nothing, and fall in love.
From 2004, Before Sunset finds them reunited in Paris,
a decade older but not necessarily wiser; the fresh-faced
optimism of the earlier film has given way to middle-age doubt
(and a few wrinkles, mostly on Hawke). You know whats really
funny about Richard Linklaters separated-by-nine-years double
feature? All through Before Sunrise, youre never sure
how it will end; from the moment the lovers are reunited in
Before Sunset, there isnt a shred of doubt whats
going to happen.
that scene in Walk the Line when Joaquin Phoenix, sweaty
and jerky as a drugged-out Johnny Cash, walks those long miles
to June Carters house to prove his love? This gesture has
nothing on David Thewlis character in Bernardo Bertoluccis
lovely Besieged, the ultimate prove-your-love story.
Thewlis is a Brit living in a beautiful (if rough) old house
in Italy, who develops a crush on his housekeeper (Thandie
Newton). A classic First World twit, he does know shes from
someplace in Africa and that shes a medical student. What
he doesnt knowbut we in the audience do, from the films
harrowing openingis that shes a refugee, and her husband
is a political prisoner. When he finally begs her to tell
him what he can do to prove his love, she tells him to bring
me my husband. Which he then goes about doing, selling off
his possessions, one by one, to raise bribe money to get the
never-seen husband out of jail. Theres no happy way for this
story to end, but the acting and direction are so delicate
and heartbreaking that the film is strangely uplifting.
Love Me Tonight
you stand in front of a train, singing, to stop your lover
from leaving? Well thats just what Jeanette MacDonald does
to win back Maurice Chevalier in this, one of the greatest
of all movie musicals. A witty Rodgers and Hart score is complemented
by an equally charming script about a tailor who ends up winning
the love of a princess. Give this one a chanceeven people
who hate musicals love it.
Out of Sight
is the movie in which George Clooney became the modern-day
Cary Grant. (I know, because The New York Times said
so.) He plays a convict who falls in love with U.S. Marshall
Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez), who he inadvertently kidnaps
while escaping from a Federal pen. (It plays better than it
reads. Trust me.) Nobody makes movie stars look better than
director Steven Soderbergh does; Clooney and Lopez have never
been more magnetic on screen.
Punch-Drunk Love
Thomas Andersons film boldly makes the case that there is
someone out there for everyoneeven the quirky, yearning,
rage-filled salesman played by Adam Sandler. Dressed in a
radioactive blue suit, Sandlers weirdness is matched by his
mates self-awareness; his beloved (Emily Watson) loves him
because hes crazy. And because shes out of her mind,
too. They share the most demented pillow talk youll ever
hear in a movie: Im lookin at your face and I just wanna
smash it. I just wanna fuckin smash it with a sledgehammer
and squeeze it. Youre so pretty. (Sigh.)
Roman Holiday
can have Breakfast at Tiffanys. Theres so much wrong
with that movie I cant see how anyone could get a romantic
vibe from it. (Seriously, George Peppard as a romantic hero?
Meh.) If you really want to bask in the cinemagic that is
Audrey Hepburn, try this romantic fantasy about a European
princess incognito day-and-night on the town in Rome with
American reporter Gregory Peck. Funny and bittersweet, with
an ending that packs an emotional wallop.
Something Wild
when Jonathan Demme made good moviesbefore he became a Great
Directorhe made this slick, sexy, violent little romance.
Melanie Griffith, in a black Lulu wig, is a sexual troublemaker;
Jeff Daniels is an uptight yuppie loser; and Ray Liotta is
lethal danger as Griffiths ex-con hubby. The combustible
combination of the three leads to a series of confrontations
that make the cost of some kinds of love painfully clear.
Trouble in Paradise
sophisticated it almost hurts, Ernst Lubitschs romantic comedy
isnt really a romantic comedy. Its a story of crooks both
high and low, wrapped up with sex and jealousy and love, and
staged on Art Deco sets so gorgeous they radiate glamour.
A gentleman thief (Herbert Marshall) is torn between his lovely
partner-in-crime (Miriam Hopkins) and the wealthy widow (Kay
Francis) who owns all those gleaming Art Deco furnishings;
every corner of this triangle gets their due. Its the ultimate
Valentine treat.

2004 Jaguar X-Type. Click image to enlarge
The X-Type was sold exclusively with all-wheel drive, which means that all X-Types are possible candidates for a common problem with the transfer case – the set of gears that transfers power to the rear axle. Early signs of trouble are a whining noise from the transfer case, gear oil leaking from the case's vent hose, and a clunking noise that occurs while decelerating to a stop.
The best preventative measure is to change the transfer case oil regularly (though Jaguar states the transfer case is a sealed-for-life unit). Normally, this is a "hellish" job that requires removal of exhaust components, but a poster at Jag-Lovers.org has devised an easier way. You may have to register at the site to view the post.
It has been suggested that the X-Type uses brake calipers that are prone to seizing, which can subsequently cause further brake problems, as well as negatively affect fuel consumption.
2003 Jaguar X-Type (top); 2004 Jaguar X-Type. Click image to enlarge
Watch for a centre rear seat belt that can get stuck in the fully-retracted position. The belt mechanism is inside the folding rear seatback; the easy fix is to fold the seat down, whack the seatback, then give the seat a good slam back into position. If this doesn't work, the seat will need to be opened up and the mechanism serviced or replaced.
Consumer Reports only offers reliability information for X-Types built from 2002 through 2004, but what information they do have suggests that this car suffers from worse-than-average dependability.
The X-Type crash tests results are encouraging, however. The car earned four stars all around in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) frontal and side impact tests. In the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) frontal offset crash test, the X-Type earned a "good" rating, though the organization's side impact test resulted in a "marginal" rating, thanks to poor protection for the driver's torso and a poor performance by the car's passenger compartment structure in the test.
If you're jonesing for a used X-Type but are worried you won't be able to afford one, you'll be pleased to learn that the car suffers from poor resale value common to all Jaguar models. According to Canadian Black Book, X-Types are worth between $7,200 for a 2002 2.5 model, to $25,500 for a 2008 3.0-litre wagon with navigation. I'm partial to the wagon myself, and I think the $15,675 Red Book value for a 2006 model sounds like a good deal – as long as you can put up with this car's finicky reliability. You might be better off spending a few more bucks for an A4 or 3 Series, though they can't boast stellar records for dependability, either. One thing is for sure: the X-Type's slow sales when new ensure a certain level of exclusivity for those who do own them.

November 2010, Interview with Kristen Morgin
Interview with Kristen Morgin
Katherine Mangiardi: In your work you seem to be recovering objects from the past. Are these objects from your own history?
Mangiardi: Many of the objects you recreate are associated with 1930s and 1940s Americana. Where does this nostalgia come from?
Mangiardi: How did you come up with the title for your show New York Be Nice?
Morgin: I'm scared to have a show here! You know the stereotype of NY being a rough city and my work has a certain kind of sweetness and softness to it but like me it's also missing teeth. Stereotypes can be both very correct and very incorrect and when Zach asked me a title is was the first thing that came into my head.
Mangiardi: Can you talk about The Wrecked Spyder, a recreation of 550 Porsche Spyder?
Morgin: Yes! The car is eventually sold to the highway patrol and put on view to promote safety but is still gets in accidents falling off ramps, breaking someone's legs. Eventually the car it transported and just disappears in transit. My idea was to bring back my own version and play with idea of resurrecting the curse.
Mangiardi: Speaking of things disappearing there is fragility to your sculptures, their insides are exposed and surfaces worn suggesting the toll of time and rooting the objects in both past and present. Why is this significant to you?
Noah Becker: Editor-in-Chief

Whether or not that alleged Illuminati-esque meeting of the minds back in 1991 that set hip-hop on its gangster-ific path ever took place is debatable, but the fact that it is on that raucous road is not. In 2013, amidst a lyrical sea of street bikes and shootouts, one wouldn't expect a mixtape full of Boy Meets World or Nintendo references, but that's exactly what OCD have done. The duo, emcees Moosh and Twist, take an undeniably more amiable route with their music, which is gloriously laid bare on their latest offering, Back to the Basement. Still, even if they don't fit the angry hip-hop mold of today, they're winning fans left and right with something a lot of artists are lacking right now: sincerity. They've never killed anyone, and they'd sooner not make music than tell you they have for sport. This goes farther than lyrics, though: Even the floaty instrumentals they choose to spit over are devoid of any gritty pretense, seemingly unable to lie, either.
Talking to Twist, rapper Oliver Feighan's stage moniker, it's clear that this honesty is indeed at the heart of whatever OCD does. From obvious things like their message, to the more minute details of their image, everything is coming from a real place. Love 'em or hate 'em, they know their approach isn't for everyone. But it's all they've got.
PW: Back to the Basement was released in March. How's the reception been for it so far?
TWIST: It's our favorite project we've ever made, and people seem to dig it. We definitely experimented a lot on it. We did a lot more singing than usual. We focused on really trying to make good songs. Instead of just rapping as much as we could on a beat, we really tried to focus on hooks and bridges and all that good stuff.
Do you think fans of a more street- oriented hip-hop are feeling you?
We definitely have some hip-hop heads that really dig our sound. We have tracks that you can [tell] we know how to rap, but the majority of our fans aren't people bumpin' Action Bronson and Joey Badass, ya know?
Are you even concerned with that niche?
We definitely could spit 32 bars on every track, have an old sample scratch for the hook and call it day. But that's not as fun for us. We listen to all types of music, so we're gonna want to make all types of music. Hip-hop is the core, but we love experimenting. We're finding our sound, slowly but surely.
Do you worry about getting pigeonholed as the "nice guys of hip-hop?"
It runs through my mind every so often. We're not portraying anything fake. I've never shot a gun, been to jail or been the type to try and fuck as many groupies as possible. That's just not us. It's definitely not as appealing to the "mainstream" if we don't talk about that stuff, but we're just being honest.
Your videos for "Casino Girl" and "Take Me Back" had some skating going on, and you guys reference Vans and the X Games. Do you feel that you relate to that group?
Yeah, we definitely fuck with skate culture, but I don't wanna front and say that we can triple kickflip and drop in on an eight-foot lip. I just use my long board to cruise the city.
Skateboarders are a notoriously hard crowd to get in with. Lupe Fiasco wrote a song to connect with them and was instantly labeled a clown by some, whereas newer guys like the Bakery Boys, who actually met at and still skate at Love Park, have everyone's support.
I think we stay away from saying we're skaters. I love Lil Wayne and most of what he does, so I don't really mind, but some people hate the fact that he's skating and has a brand based around skate culture. As long as we just rep Vans and say we don't skate for real, I think we'll be fine.
After building up some serious momentum with your live shows and last few projects, what's next for OCD? Where do you go from here?
Just continuing to do what we do. We still haven't had that mixtape or song that "blew up." We're gonna keep working, making music, touring, making new fans and just trying to take it to the next level.
Thurs., May 16, 7:30pm. $14. With Evan Riley, Ground Up, Kev Decor, Rowdy City + the Shady Bunch. Theatre of Living Arts, 334 South St. 215.922.1011. tlaphilly.com

i think a story line of a sequal is most important, casue a lot of them are stupid storys but you get to play a game that was and still is fun
wii is sick looking but the controller buggs out a lot for me
N64 is the best ever
n64 -- perfect dark
ps2 -- resident evil: code veronica
xbox - Halo handsdown
yea you can
ill buy a system just for thier exclusives, like i bought xbox over ps3 simply because of halo
i like the xbox better, but i think thats because i like the controller better...and plus i think halo is better then gta
yea emulators are easier then someone elses on a site
best game ever made, blizzard does mess things up a bunch though
i like the tekken series the best
i think fighting too, you cant touch rpg or shooter, even sports is insane...fighting needs the work
never played but thinking of picking it up with the good ratings
gaming is getting exepensive but its always been like that just back then a 100 dollar n64 was soooo expensive.
i dont like the wii, the controller is good but doesnt always do what you want.

Hi Jeremy. About your tripod, I don't know. I can't really tell you since I don't know exactly how/when/where you want to use it. But I don't think you'll run into much problem. It's always good to be polite and ask first, and that's probably all you have to do.
I think the toughest hurdles you might experience in Japan is probably when you try to take out cash from ATM, you might find no English menu on the screen. Outside of Tokyo, that's common. Indeed, a lot of ATM machines (especially the ones in convenience stores) don't take foreign ATM cards. So, just bring a VISA or Mastercard in case and have enough cash(yen) ready wherever you hang out and stay. That's all.
Starbucks is everywhere if that's also one of your main concerns. Don't worry you'll probably find one there.
About your chance to run into English-speaking people, I give you an idea: Even in every rural community, there's at least one or two English speakers teaching English in public schools. You'll be amazed when you see them.
I've been to Takamatsu once. It was late last summer in the aftermath of the hard-hit typhoon. I was a disaster-relief volunteer and spent two weeks working with the locals. Although it was an extraordinary time, I think I managed to get along with those people pretty well and took pictures on the side.
Takamatsu, also known as "Sanuki" region is famous for making thick udon noodles as its traditional style. There are many noodle shops, and they are all good and cheap.
Also, the city of takamatsu, according to the local men, is a mecca for erotic bath houses: t has a high reputation for pretty girls. I didn't explore in that area, so I can't really tell you much about it, but it's a big culture there.
But one thing, seriously you have to be aware of is that one of the nearby islands (I forgot the name) has a facility for leprosy (we call it, "hansen-byo") patients and is known for that. Those people come to Takamatsu on some occasions. They live in the area. I don't know if you can tell from a distance because most of the time, they hide their faces or put makeup to cover up what they don't want you to see. So, just be aware that you'll be in that area with your camera. It's a very sensitive issue because they have suffered from the discrimination in a long history, and they want to keep their privacy protected. I don't know if your Lonely Planet tells you this or not.
Meanwhile, there's an island called, "Shodo-shima" which is only a short ferry ride away (about an hour) from the Takamatsu port. I would say, it's a Japanese version of Martha's Vineyard (in a way). It's not big for tourism, but it's pretty. A couple of films were shot there.
Anyway, have a safe trip to Takamatsu. I'm near Nagoya (and Kyoto), far from where you'll be at, but in case if you need help and/or reach me for something, send me a personal message here.

Coming off a second-place finish in the 2009 Tour, the 25-year-old Schleck is one of the best up and coming riders on the circuit. Having already proven himself to withstand the grind of the Tour de France, Schleck also proved he can adjust to different types of races in winning the Luxembourg Time Trial Championship this year. He will look to become the first Luxembourgian to win the Tour since Charly Gaul in 1958.

I like to start with a few small goals.....like drinking more water, no soda, increasing fruits/veg's. In the past I have put too much focus on the number on the scale and let unrealistic goals defeat my initial enthusiasm. I did not gain all this weight in a few weeks or months.

Plan for treats. It is unrealistic to think that you will never eat any of your favorite foods again. It will often make you crave them even more. Keep moderation and portion control in mind. When you have a birthday party or other celebration to attend, plan you day around it and you can still stay within your goals.

Body in suitcase: daughter demands US lawyerComment on this story
Nusa Dua, Indonesia - The teenage daughter of an American woman found dead inside a suitcase on the Indonesian holiday island of Bali has asked for US legal representation, an Indonesian lawyer said.
Police arrested the daughter, Heather Mack, 19, and her boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer, 21, on Wednesday after a taxi driver found a battered body in a suitcase outside the St. Regis luxury hotel in Nusa Dua, Bali.
The body was identified by hospital officials as Chicago-based Sheila von Wiese-Mack, 62.
"She doesn't want to comment on the incident and she declined to give any information," Haposan Sihombing, an Indonesian lawyer appointed by police to represent Mack, told Reuters late on Wednesday.
"She kept asking to be represented by a lawyer from the United States," Sihombing said.
Neither Mack nor Schaefer have been charged.
The US State Department is aware of reports of a US citizen's death in Bali and the arrests of two people in connection with the case, said a State Department spokeswoman, Marie Harf.
She declined to give details due to privacy considerations.
"Obviously we are monitoring it and will provide any consular access as appropriate," Harf said.
Police said the young couple left a bloodied suitcase along with other luggage in the taxi and went to check out of the five-star hotel, where a single room can cost as much as $1 340 a night.
The couple did not return so the taxi driver checked the luggage and found the body.
Ida Bagus Putu Alit, a forensic expert at the hospital that conducted an autopsy, said von Wiese-Mack had been "hit by a blunt object and the blows were concentrated on the face and head".
"There were signs of a struggle by the victim as there were bruises on her arms and some fingers were broken," Alit said.
A St Regis hotel official said the apparent murder was believed to have taken place in a room booked by Schaefer.
Mack and Schaefer were apprehended at a budget hotel about 1.6km away from the St Regis hotel after a day-long police search.
Staff at the Risata Bali resort said they were immediately suspicious of the couple after they checked in without any luggage.
Risata Bali security confirmed their identities after Schaefer asked resort staff for a voucher to use the Internet and they alerted authorities, said Nyoman Wija, a hotel manager.
Television footage showed the two being questioned by police with Schaefer in handcuffs. At one point, Mack is shown shielding her face with her hand asking a police official why a cameraman was being allowed to film her.
The Mack family lived for a number of years in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Illinois.
Oak Park spokesman David Powers said on Wednesday police responded to 86 calls from the Mack home due to incidents between mother and daughter from 2004 through to June 2013.
No arrests were ever made from the calls, which were a combination of reports of domestic violence, theft, missing person and 911 hang-ups, Powers said.
Von Wiese-Mack more recently had moved to a condominium in Chicago. Her husband and the father of Heather, classical music composer James Mack, died in 2006.
Laura Voigt, a pianist in Oak Park and friend to James Mack, said she remembered seeing mother and daughter fight outside the local high school one morning.
"I was worried about Sheila," Voigt said.
Von Wiese-Mack had worked as an editor for famed oral historian Studs Terkel and later studied with writer Saul Bellow at the University of Chicago.
Georgia Parchem, a neighbour and friend in Oak Park, said von Wiese-Mack was a "lovely, charming woman" and the Macks often held parties involving "artists and friends from all over the city". - Reuters

I'm finding myself traveling about 100% of the time right now. I'm in NYC as we speak. Last week I was hiking in NH, the week before that I was on the Atlantic Ocean north of the Cape in MA. I think Maine's next. I can work from anywhere, so I'm working from everywhere.So, I find myself biking most of it with some trains and traveling light. I need a pair of pants I can use for going out to bars, hanging out with locals, sitting in camp, etc. It's cold now so my go-to of running shorts and my Smartwool shirt isn't cutting it.I'm looking for a really lightweight/ultralight pair of khaki pants, and NOT baggy. I don't want two wind socks on my legs, I'm too skinny for that. I don't particularly mind if they look technical, and I'd love some low-key but useful pockets. I don't need an integrated belt.Any suggestions? The smaller they pack up, the better.Thanks!
Edited by rmjapan on 06/19/2015 17:08:54 MDT.
For travel, I like to look decently hip, so I usually go for Kuhl brand stuff. They have a variety of styles that use technical fabrics, but look fairly "trendy".Gotta look good when you're in the local watering hole drinking craft beer! ;~)
I had a pair of Kuhl Liberator convertible pants, but found them very baggy. I may just have really lanky legs. My Prana pants seem to have the best balance between relaxed fit without being baggy (though, all have cotton in them, which won't work).I've tried Ex-Officio pants and found them VERY loose, which is exactly the problem I'm trying to avoid. Otherwise, I'd definitely go with them.While posting this, I've also been window-shopping extensively. Right now, my front-runner is actually Prana's Men's Zion Stretch Convertible pants. Anyone have experience with these? They look like they'll work, but 13oz is about 4-5oz more than I wanted. I guess with zips and a belt, it won't necessarily translate to bulk.This might be heresy on BPL, but bulk > weight for me in this case.If you don't look good while drinking Switchback in Burlington, go home....
Edited by mdilthey on 10/17/2013 19:19:55 MDT.
Neon purple leopard print lycra tights.Totally hip.
You say that like I wouldn't...I have the legs to pull it off.
Well, I wear my Arc'teryx Gamma LT pants everywhere and all the time -- hiking, travelling and around town. In fact I'm wearing them right now at work. They don't quite look like regular straight leg pants but they are close (they have articulated knees which are good for walking but look a bit funny, IMO). Very comfortable in a range of temps, slim but not tight in the leg and perfectly constructed.
outlier's new og's. they are just what you are looking for. if they have a fault it's that they are (relatively) expensive, but you get what you pay for and you won't need a second pair of pants. if you are in nyc, i'm not 100% sure, but they may still have their brooklyn retail shop that's open friday afternoon.
If you are traveling that much then this is worth a read/watch --http://tynan.com/packing2012and yes, there are pants in there....
I am really liking the pair of Outdoor Research Ferrosi pants I bought recently. Light weight soft shell material that has a bit of stretch and is very comfortable. Clean lines, Hidden ankle cinch. One vertical thigh pocket that doesn't stick out like typical cargo pants.
Yeah, yeah, you can go Patagucci with serious reduction of the wallet, but why? All you are doing is paying for the label, not the clothing. If that suits, fair enough.Otherwise, can I suggest you go to the nearest discount store and buy some synthetic track pants? Not the fleecy ones, just the plain ordinary nylon ones. They may have a lining of open mesh knit which can be kept or cut out. I would expect you would find a fair range of colours and styles, all for less than $10.Cheers
Roger,"Otherwise, can I suggest you go to the nearest discount store and buy some synthetic track pants?"We're married. We can roll like that. Max is a bachelor. I'll go out on a limb and presume he doesn't want clothing that will double as birth control :)Edit to explain that Roger and I aren't married to each other..... just sayin'
Edited by IDBLOOM on 10/17/2013 21:15:56 MDT.
Haha, good point Ian. But may i humbly suggest, that for Max's long term good, he doesn't want a Lass so shallow as to judge him on the quality of his pants. Besides, most likely, what she will be looking at, is the bulge anyways. Wow, two pee pee jokes in one day, what's up... with that?
Looking at Roger's avatar may lead you to take his fashion advice with a bit of caution.
Mark,Thanks for that link. I read his site for an hour, then bought his book.
Just about every brand makes something like this:http://marmot.com/products/cruz_pantVery lightweight, soft "peached" nylon fabric. I bought a pair of these for fall hiking, but have ended up getting several pair and they are my regular kick around long pants -- replacing cotton khakis. Not very dressy, but dressy enough to wear out to dinner. Pack down to nothing. My only complaint is that they tend to wrinkle a bit.
My current favorite are the pricy arcteryx rampart pants. the fabric is a very light nylon with a bit of stretch which is very cool wearing dries very quickly, and fit is perfect (for me). They do have thigh pockets, but they are very discrete. Rail Rider's Back country Khakis might be a good option. Historically there were a lot of good options, but most now have thight pockets which are fairly noticeable which I think disqualifies them for business casual. You notice indicates that this isn't a deal breaker, so I would also suggest Royal Robbins Global Traveler Pants and ex officio Nomad Pants. I generally can find something decent at sierra trading post. I wait until I can find something that's at least 40% off retail. The other thing work a look is campmor's house brand nylon pants tends to be decent and very reasonably priced, especially when they go one sale which is fairly frequently.--mark
Check out whatever Outdoor Research has at the moment. They stray from big cargo pockets and tend to have less baggy cuts.
Done. Thanks Dale. Can't beat the OR Treadway Convert pants for $60 and 8.3oz. Fit looks great. Thanks! I'll let everyone know how they work.
I travel overseas for work about 50% of the time and I use these and really like them.http://www.rei.com/product/844608/rei-adventures-pants-mens-32-inseam

The Start of the 25K Race in this year's O.S.C.R. Nordic Races
|Above left, Pat Caffrey, in his Cheetah Herder costume, was the official starting, drawing many laughs. At center is chairman of the Seeley Ski Club, Lynn Carey, preparing for the 25K race. At right are Lorin Rose (left), and Rose Carey, official timers at this year's races.
by Beth Hutchinson
for the Pathfinder
February 5, 1998
A majority came up from Missoula, but there were also large contingents from Bozeman, Butte and Kalispell as well as individuals from a scattering of other locations.
All seemed to anticipate a great day for this sixteenth consecutive nordic race, and race organizers and workers were rewarded by the infectious energy and enthusiasm flowing from the skiiers and the families and friends who accompanied them.
As usual, Seeley's extensive nordic trail system received accolades. One high school teacher from Superior called the trails "amazing" and was particularly impressed with the their length and the variety of scenery.
The biggest treat for the sponsoring Seeley Lake Nordic Ski Club was the arrival of nine racers and their coach Peter Hoag from Montana State University.
In addition to sweeping most of the top places in the women's 10K and making an impressive impact with their coordinated uniforms, these college students "circulated", talking easily and openly with workers and other racers.
MSU participates in the western division of the NCAA nordic racing program and competes with such schools as Colorado University, the University of Utah, Denver University, the University of Alaska, and the University of New Mexico.
It's not unusual over a weekend for a portion of the team to drive for seventeen or more hours one way to race for two days and then take that same long ride back to Bozeman.
Many of the young women who came to Seeley this week grew up in Alaska and talked about "an explosion of "community' skiing" up there."
Anchorage resident Beth Miller said, "Nordic skiing is a way of life for hundreds of kids on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Trails in Anchorage are lit, and all schools have teams."
Having gotten on the road at 5:15 am, the Lady Cat skiiers expressed delight with the hot chocolate awaiting them at the end of the race and went on with bubbling enthusiasm to pronounce, "It's a great race. The scenery is beautiful. It's nice and rolling rather than the extreme ups and downs we deal with around Bozeman. We've had an awesome time."
In addition to genuinely enjoying their experience interacting with these young women, SLNSC members found their own desires to promote youth skiing reinforced. Having discussed possible ways to get local kids out on the trails for years, the members will be meeting next week to develop a solid plan. (Anyone interested in participating in this planning or in donating used nordic equipment is invited to attend a meeting at the Filling Station Wednesday night, February 11th at 7pm or to contact Lynn Carey 677-2343.)

The growing puddles, saturated fields, overflowing rivers and creeks, slumping hillsides and damp basements throughout the region only illustrate the obvious:
There's been a lot of rain this spring.
According to data collected at the Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge, 2.40 inches fell between Friday and early Tuesday morning, although prescribed fire specialist Calvin Moldenhauer noted he had received just over three inches in the same period at his home east of Kenmare.
The year-to-date total for precipitation as of Tuesday morning was 8.92 inches, compared to a January-May average of 5.22 inches. The month of May 2011 has supplied 5.02 inches of moisture, including 5 inches of snow measured on May 1st.
The winter's high snow total, with more than 74 inches measured at the refuge since October 2010, continues to impact soil conditions. Moldenhauer reported 11.94 inches of precipitation measured from last October through Tuesday morning.
The immediate forecast calls for temperatures warming into the 60s and low 70s, with sunny or mostly sunny days, beginning today.

Joseph Reinwand
A Wood County judge dismissed a bail jumping charge Friday in Wood County Circuit Court against a man authorities say killed his daughter's former boyfriend.
Joseph B. Reinwand is charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the 2008 shooting death of Dale Meister, 35, of Wisconsin Rapids. As part of a bond set by Wood County Circuit Judge Greg Potter, Reinwand was ordered to have no contact with a list of people, including his sister.
Reinwand, who is in prison on unrelated charges, refused to sign the bail sheet after the court appearance. He later had several contacts with his sister ...

Date 12 April 2013
The Reserve Bank has appointed Bernard Hodgetts to head the Bank's new Macro Financial Department.
Deputy Governor and Head of Financial Stability, Grant Spencer, said the creation of the new department reflects the growing emphasis on macro-financial stability.
"The new Department will play an important role in overseeing the stability of New Zealand's financial markets and the overall soundness of the financial system," he said.
The Department will be responsible for producing the Bank's six-monthly Financial Stability Report, and will have close links to the Bank's other policy departments. It will combine the existing Stability Analysis team from Financial Markets Department, and the Statistics Unit of the Economics Department.
The Department will collect and disseminate financial statistics, and undertake analysis and research in support of the Bank's macro-prudential policy function, Mr Spencer said.
Mr Hodgetts has most recently been Head of Macro Financial Stability within the Financial Markets Department. He joined the Reserve Bank as an economist in 1986. In 1995, he joined the ANZ Bank and was their Chief Economist from 1998 to 2001, before returning to the Reserve Bank.

Crews put out fire at Sav-Mor in south Redding
Fire crews put out a blaze at the Sav-Mor supermarket in south Redding early this morning.
The incident was reported about 2:30 a.m. at the store's dock at 6536 Westside Road, according to the Redding Fire Department.
The small fire spread to the inside of the store, causing damage to the back of the store, firefighters said, but it activated the sprinkler system, which kept it from spreading more until crews arrived.
"The properly maintained and functioning fire sprinkler system prevented a major fire and large loss to property," firefighters said in a news release.
The fire cost $5,000 in damage and is under investigation, but firefighters have determined that it was caused by humans.
Four engines with 16 firefighters responded to the incident.

The benefits of a healthy meal delivery service
Meal delivery services are becoming increasingly popular over the years. Now companies such as Swanson are going door to door handing out catalogs and allowing people to purchase food and have it delivered straight to their door. While this may seem a bit strange to some, it's actually really helpful and even more so when it comes to healthy foods and eating better. For some people a trip to the grocery store is a nightmare. This is especially true for parents and single parents of children who are still very young. It's a constant battle of trying to find healthy meal choices that they'll eat, and fighting with them to put that box of sugary cereal on the shelf.
When the option of having a meal prep delivery to your house arises, this means you no longer have to worry about fighting your kids or worrying about whether that meal you picked out is chalked full of too many fats, salts, and otherwise unhealthy content. The catalogs and online websites that offer these services provide nutritional information that allow you to make a healthy choice and feed your family within the comfort of your own home. This is also true for people who have busy schedules and don't always have the time to stop last minute at the grocery store. By having healthy meals delivered to your door you can have them waiting on you instead of waiting in long lines to get home.
Perhaps those who stand to benefit the most from this type of service is the elderly. During the months when perhaps it's either too hot, too cold, or too rainy for them to get outside this is a great alternative to trying to get to the store. Many may have mobility issues or rely on others to take them where they need to go to buy food. However, with a healthy food delivery service, they don't have to wait on a loved one to take them or worry about the weather. Instead they can simply place an order and have the food delivered to them without worry or hassle.
Having a healthy meal delivered is extremely ecofriendly when you stop and think about it. By choosing to have your groceries delivered to you in what is likeable a recyclable cardboard box that was refrigerated, you're cutting down on waste in landfills. Up until a few years ago and is still an issue with some major retail stores, the bags we get from the store take years upon years before they break down and can be recycled because of the materials they're made out of. So instead they are left around as litter and not only fill up the landfill, but we find them blowing around and getting in to ditches on the side of the road, our water, and wooded areas where animals reside. They are not safe or friendly for us or our environment and that cuts back on their usage.
That is why I am personally referring you to the Healthy Life Company website.
P.S. I would also like to point out to everyone that this is indeed my birthday month! I appreciate all the happy wishes. It has been 9 months since I started this journey and I am definitely seeing some results – I hope you all have the best of luck as well! Those born in September are the best, Scorpios and Libras unite!
Until next time. :P

Kaleidoscopic Watertower in Brooklyn by Tom FruinJuxtapoz // Wednesday, June 06, 2012
We posted this photo by Robert Banat on our Instagram the other day and got a ton of response. Brooklyn-based artist, Tom Fruin, has built a 25' tall water tank created with 1,000 salvaged plexiglass pieces found around NYC. The piece is illuminated by natural light in day time, and during night a Ryan Holsopple ardunio-controlled light show goes off inside the work.

I am making a intranet customer manager in PHP. For each customer a directory is created for the shop to add files into. What my script is supposed do is if no directory exists create it, if it does exists dont create it. What is actually happening is if the directory already exists I am getting the following error :
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: File exists in C:\server2go\server2go\htdocs\customermgr\administrator\components\com_chronoforms\form_actions\custo m_code\custom_code.php(18) : eval()'d code on line 14
So what is happening it is trying to create it anyway, even though the if statement should stop it ?, im confused on what I am doing wrong :-S .
$customerID = $_GET['cfid'];
$directory = "/customer-files/$customerID";
if(file_exists($directory) && is_dir($directory)) {
else {
$thisdir = getcwd();
mkdir($thisdir ."/customer-files/$customerID" , 0777); }

In 2002, I had a conversation with Marc Maurer, president of the National Federation of the Blind. I had first worked with the NFB in 1976, helping build the first print-to-speech reading machine. Over the years, the various models of that device got smaller, but it remained a scanner-based system that required blind users to bring reading material to their desks. There is a lot of reading material that you can't bring to your desk, of course, like a sign on a wall or the bank ATM display. You could bring a menu back to your desk, but you'd probably prefer to read it in the restaurant.
For years, I had been predicting that someday, blind men and women would be able to use a pocket-size reader to read anything they wanted as they went through the day, from the labels in their clothing to the baking instructions on the back of a muffin-mix box. Now Maurer wanted to know when I thought that day would come, and I predicted that the actual hardware for sufficiently powerful digital cameras and pocket computers would be ready in four years, by the second quarter of 2006. Developing the software, I added, would also take four years, so the Kurzweil Cos. and the NFB had better get started on the project right away.
Right on schedule, the digital cameras and pocket computers with the specs that we needed became available last spring. Our software development project was completed on time, and so we introduced a new, portable reading machine for the blind this past July. Today, there are on the order of a thousand blind people reading all the print they encounter as they go through the day. Other companies have taken notice and are starting to develop competing products. As a result of our technology forecasting, however, we have a nice jump on the market.
To what do I owe this exquisite sense of timing? The simple truth is that timing is key to success as an inventor, so I've spent the past 30 years studying the rate by which information technology advances. Being an engineer, I gathered data on technology trends in different fields and built mathematical models. What I discovered is that understanding the timing of technological change is not as mysterious as most people think it is. In fact, I found that the models were surprisingly predictive, and today I have a group of 10 people at the Kurzweil Cos. helping me gather data and build these models.
The common wisdom that you can't predict the future is not all wrong. We can't predict specific things, such as whether Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) stock will be higher or lower three years from now. But within information technology there are meaningful patterns. The evolution of information technology follows such exquisitely smooth exponential trajectories, in fact, that I can say with confidence that all information technology doubles its price performance and capacity pretty much every year. If you ask me the cost of a MIPS (million instructions per second) of computing in 2010, the cost of sequencing a base pair of DNA in 2012, or the spatial resolution of brain scanning in 2014, I can give you detailed figures and they are likely to be accurate. This has proved true for computation for more than 100 years, going back to the first data processing equipment used to automate the 1890 census.
One way to think about the patterns in information technology is to look at science, where we see other examples of remarkably predictable effects resulting from the interaction of inherently unpredictable phenomena. The laws of thermodynamics provide an example. The path of each molecule in a gas is modeled as a random walk. Yet the properties of the overall gas, made up of many chaotically interacting particles, is predictable to a high degree of precision. Technology evolution is, similarly, a chaotic system with remarkably predictable properties.
There's another wrinkle to keep in mind. When I say that information technology doubles in price performance and power each year, remember that the rate itself is expanding at an accelerated rate. It took three years to double the price performance of computing equipment in 1900, two years in 1950, and we're now doubling it every year. At today's exponential rate, doubling every year means multiplying by a thousand in 10 years and a billion in 30 years. But with the rate of acceleration continuing to grow, we will actually hit the billion mark in only 25 years. Consider the pervasive influence of information technology in today's world and multiply that by a billion in a quarter century--while we shrink the size of both electronic and mechanical technology by a factor of 100,000 in the same time frame--and you'll get some idea of how revolutionary information technology will be in the future.
All sorts of industries will be affected, beyond what we think of conventionally as computing. Take energy for example. Today, it seems like an area of grave concern, with implications from global warming to pollution to geopolitical instability. The fact that demand for energy is projected to triple within 20 years heightens our worries. Based largely on the 19th-century technology of fossil fuels, energy is not what we would consider an information technology. Not yet anyway. But when we have fully programmable nanotechnology, through which we can reorganize matter and energy at the molecular level, then we will see a revolutionary transformation.
Here's what I mean: Today we produce 14 trillion (about 1013) watts of power, 78 percent of which comes from fossil fuels. We have, however, plenty of energy in our midst. About 1017 watts of sunlight fall on the earth, or roughly 10,000 times more energy than we regularly consume. Solar panels today do a poor job of capturing this energy because they are inefficient, expensive, heavy, and difficult to integrate with building materials. Today production of solar power costs on average $8 per watt, much more than other energy sources.
The economics of solar power are poised to change dramatically, however, as a new generation of solar panels made with nanomaterials comes of age. Developed by a series of venture-backed companies eagerly jockeying to disrupt that $1.9 trillion worldwide oil industry, these innovative panels are projected to drop in price within a few years. And whether or not any of the known businesses now developing them are successful, once we have full-scale molecular nanotechnology-based manufacturing, we'll be off to the races.
At this point, energy will become an information technology dominated by massively parallel, computation-controlled molecular manufacturing processes. In 20 years, I believe solar panels will be as inexpensive as a penny per square meter. We will be able to place them on buildings and vehicles, build solar energy farms, and incorporate them into clothing for powering mobile devices. Converting 0.0003 percent of all sunlight hitting the earth, which will be feasible at that time, will let us meet 100 percent of our energy needs two decades from now. In yet another welcome change, we will be able to store the energy in nanoengineered fuel cells that will be tiny and widely distributed, a great improvement over the centralized, dangerous energy storage facilities we rely on today, such as liquid natural gas tanks.
Most discussions of global warming make no mention of the ability of nanotechnology to solve this problem within 20 years. Al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth never mentions nanotechnology, which in my view is a rather big oversight. The inclination to project the current rate of change into the future, what I call the "intuitive linear view," is hard-wired in us. The reality is that transformative changes happen faster and faster today. The telephone took 50 years to be adopted by a quarter of the U.S. population. The cell phone did that in thirteen years. Only five years ago, most people did not use search engines. Just three years ago we did not hear the terms "blog," "podcast," or "social network." And three years ago, people thought that it was impossible for a business to make money on Internet advertising. Today, we have Google, a company with a $157 billion market cap that does just that.
The pace of change is already so fast that the world will be a very different place by the end of the three-year planning cycle of typical business projects currently under way, let alone the six- or seven-year venture capital horizon. In my own technology projects, we bake into our development and business plans projections that call for the rapid advancement of technology, on a quarter-by-quarter basis. One pleasant result of doing this is that we often find that today's difficult tradeoffs dissolve within a short period of time. With the doubling of price performance each year in every kind of information technology, you just need to wait a short while to find that you can have your cake and eat it too.
The past is an accurate guide to the future only if we take these exponential progressions into account. But relatively few people do. We see what is right in front of us and expect that pace to continue. But a studied look at history shows that progress is exponential, not linear, and the difference is profound.

|Alterations in tight junction molecules of uterine epithelial cells during early pregnancy in the rat.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 12086335 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Distribution patterns of the tight junction associated proteins ZO-1, claudin-1 and occludin were investigated in rat uterine epithelial cells during early pregnancy. Light microscopy and immunohistochemical labelling were used to detect these proteins on days 1, 3, 6 and 7 of pregnancy. Intense staining of claudin-1 at the apical region of the lateral plasma membrane accompanied diffuse staining throughout the cytoplasm. ZO-1 was also localised in the apical region, but ZO-1 was not present in the lower two thirds of the lateral plasma membrane or in the cytoplasm. Occludin was present only on days 6 and 7 of pregnancy. Labelling was also localised in the apical region of the lateral plasma membrane where tight junctions are known to be present. Our results show that ZO-1, claudin-1 and occludin are present in the apical region of uterine epithelial cells, and appear to play a role in the very dynamic tight-junctional network of uterine epithelial cells during early pregnancy. In particular, occludin appears only during uterine receptivity for implantation.

We learned Tuesday, in the RGJ, that the conservatives are not going to adjust their values to suit the changing demographics but, rather, change the language to accommodate the various electoral factions. This seems deceptive at best and just plain lying at worst.
The real problem for them, though, is their attitude towards the common folks who ultimately decide the elections. And it doesn't appear to be changing. Don't they know they can get coffee and a doughnut at a Holiday Inn Express? Do they really have to hold their meetings at a Ritz-Carlton?

|Expansion of necrotic core and shedding of Mertk receptor in human carotid plaques: a role for oxidized polyunsaturated fatty acids?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22997156 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|AIM: Expansion of necrotic core (NC), a major feature responsible for plaque disruption, is likely the consequence of accelerated macrophage apoptosis coupled with defective phagocytic clearance (efferocytosis). The cleavage of the extracellular domain of Mer tyrosine kinase (Mertk) by metallopeptidase domain17 (Adam17) has been shown to produce a soluble Mertk protein (sMer), which can inhibit efferocytosis. Herein we analyzed the expression and localization of Mertk and Adam17 in the tissue around the necrotic core (TANC) and in the periphery (P) of human carotid plaques. Then we studied the mechanisms of NC expansion by evaluating which components of TANC induce Adam17 and the related cleavage of the extracellular domain of Mertk.Methods and ResultsWe studied 97 human carotid plaques. The expression of Mertk and Adam17 was found to be higher in TANC than in P (p<0.001). By immunohistochemistry Mertk was higher than Adam17 in the area of TANC near to the lumen (p<0.01) but much lower in the area close to NC (p<0.01). The extract of this portion of TANC increased the expression (mRNA) of Adam17 and Mertk (p<0.01) in macrophage-like THP-1 cells but it also induced the cleavage of the extracellular domain of Mertk generating sMer in the medium (p<0.01). This effect of TANC extract was most evoked by its content in F(2)-isoprostanes, hydroxyoctadecadienoic acids and hydroxytetraenoic acids. CONCLUSIONS: Some oxidized derivatives of polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in TANC of human carotid plaques are strong inducers of Adam17, which in turn leads to the generation of sMer, which can inhibit efferocytosis.
