IMF Executive Board Concludes Article IV Consultation with the Islamic Republic of Iran
Press Release No. 14/152
April 3, 2014
On March 28, 2014 the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation1 with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Iran had achieved considerable progress in raising per capita income and living standards in previous decades. But in recent years, such progress stalled as both domestic policies and the external environment deteriorated.
Macroeconomic performance worsened markedly following the subsidy reform in late 2010 and the intensification of sanctions in 2012. The economy contracted by almost 6 percent in 2012/13 and 12-month inflation rose from about 12 percent in late 2010 to around 45 percent in July 2013. With the deterioration in the external environment in 2012, the authorities abandoned their unified and managed exchange rate regime until they eventually unified the official exchange rates again in June 2013. The balance of payments remained in surplus, but the current account surplus declined to 6½ percent of GDP in 2012/13, almost halving from the year before. The sharp fall in oil exports was the main factor, partly offset by import compression. The deficit of the capital account remained contained, leaving the overall balance of payments in a surplus of 3½ percent of GDP in 2012/13. Gross foreign assets of the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) rose to about $105 billion by end-2012/13. The fiscal position also deteriorated significantly. With about 10 percentage points of GDP decline in total revenues since 2010/11, the authorities cut spending and the overall budget balance shifted from a surplus of 3 percent of GDP in 2010/11 to an estimated deficit of 1 percent of GDP in 2013/14. The deficit of the Targeted Subsidy Organization remained high, bringing the expanded overall deficit to about 2¼ percent of GDP in 2013/14. Throughout these shocks, monetary conditions were relatively accommodative, as domestic interest rates became increasingly negative in real terms. The financial system was also adversely affected, particularly banks' asset quality and profitability.
Since the Presidential election in mid-2013, there have been some signs of stability. The exchange rate has appreciated markedly in the bureau/parallel market. The CBI has kept a lid on base money growth thanks to tighter credit to the banking system and some fiscal consolidation, and 12-month inflation has declined to about 29 percent in January 2014.
Looking ahead, the near-term outlook remains highly uncertain. Facing continued constrained prospects for oil revenues and international financial transactions, the economy is envisaged to remain stagnant in 2013/14, with real GDP estimated to decline by 1¾ percent. With some positive tailwinds from the external side and some incipient signs that the pace of contraction in domestic demand is slowing, it is projected that economic activity would begin to stabilize in 2014/15, with real GDP projected to increase by 1–2 percent. But the current outlook remains highly uncertain and subject to downside risks. In the meantime, the authorities are taking steps to make the regulatory framework for foreign investment in the oil sector more attractive, while upside risks emanate from the interim agreement with the P5+1.
Executive Board Assessment2
Executive Directors acknowledged the difficult economic environment facing the Iranian economy in recent years. While Directors were heartened by incipient signs of stabilization in economic activity and the decline in inflation, they noted that the economic outlook remains uncertain and subject to downside risks. They encouraged the authorities to continue implementing prudent macroeconomic policies and advancing structural reforms to lay the basis for sustained high growth and employment.
Directors emphasized that tight monetary policy, balanced fiscal consolidation, and supply-side reforms are essential to deal with stagflation. They welcomed the removal of the financing of the Mehr housing program from the Central Bank of Iran's balance sheet, and encouraged the authorities to seek long-term noninflationary financing for this program. Directors also recommended increasing interest rates gradually to bring inflation down and anchor expectations. They welcomed the measures to broaden the revenue base away from oil, as well as the steps to strengthen tax administration and reduce exemptions.
Directors noted that institutional reforms to refocus the Central Bank of Iran's mandate on price stability are essential to entrench macroeconomic stability. Reforms to the fiscal policy framework should strengthen its countercyclical role, limit risks, and enhance macroeconomic policy coordination.
Directors took note of the staff assessment that the official exchange rate in real effective terms appears to be somewhat overvalued relative to the level implied by medium-term fundamentals, while recognizing the uncertainty surrounding that assessment. They welcomed the authorities' intention to unify the foreign exchange market and remove restrictions, and encouraged the authorities to manage the exchange rate flexibly in light of external risks and still high inflation.
Directors agreed that subsidy reform should proceed with the right supporting framework and macroeconomic policies. They supported the authorities' plans to increase domestic energy prices gradually, while improving targeted cash transfers. Directors also noted that the reform should foster the adoption of new technologies and tighter budget constraints in energy-intensive sectors.
Directors urged the authorities to strengthen the central bank's supervisory powers and enforcement capacity. They encouraged the authorities to level the field of competition through further privatization and reforms to government-mandated credit policies. Directors also agreed that plans to deal with nonperforming loans and recapitalize public banks should be supported by restructuring, enhanced risk management and accountability, a strengthened bank resolution framework, and a financially-sound deposit guarantee fund.
Directors viewed improvements to the business environment as potentially providing a boost to productivity and growth. They encouraged the authorities to review labor regulations to ease the rigidity of contracts and nonwage costs. Strengthening the regime against money laundering and the financing of terrorism would also help reinsert the domestic financial system into the global economy, lower transaction costs, and increase productivity.
Directors welcomed the authorities' recent steps to improve the timeliness of official statistics and noted that there is scope for further improvements.

I bought a Brooks on ebay. When I opened it I realized it was a ladies B17. I did not want a ladies since I am not one. Is there a big difference in size? I was thinking I would keep it, their website shows nothing!
I bought a Brooks on ebay. When I opened it I realized it was a ladies B17. I did not want a ladies since I am not one. Is there a big difference in size? I was thinking I would keep it, their website shows nothing!
Found it. The diff is 3.5 cm. do you think that would be a big deal?
If it fits for you no one will ever know and your manhood won't shrivel, we swear
The difference is that the lady's saddle is shorter than the men's saddle for some unknown reason. I'm a woman and when I found that out I chose the men's saddle.
Two threads the same here - Brooks Saddle too short?
I went ahead and put it on seems fine! I will let you know of any problems! Thanks!
If the shoe fits, wear it. I have Fizik Vitesse saddles on all of my bikes, and it is the most comfortable saddle I have ever used including Brooks. For some reason they market it as a women's saddle in the US but "unisex" in Europe. Whatever. It works for me.
If it was not advertised as a women's saddle, and you have doubts, do check with the seller about returning it. What is the Brooks number for a women's B-17? B-17s? It may cost a little more now to end up with what you want, but later you will thank yourself.
if it's the same width, don't worry about it, the nose is only there for tensioning the saddle
The only thing that matters is: are you comfortable on it? I think it will be fine.
The width is the same, it feels great, gonna keep it!!
What do you weigh? As their may be some integrity differences as well. If the physicals are different, the saddle is different.
12' SuperiorLite SL Pro w/ Sram Rival | 10' SuperiorLite SL Club w/ Sram Force | 06' Giant FCR (Dropbar) w/ Shimano 5700 | 10' GT Avalanche 3.0 Disc
How wide you need also depend on ridingstyle. If you sit on your bum when riding you need a wide one. I just bought a B72 for an upright ridingstyle bike. It is sold as a unisex seat, and is much wider than a B17.
I think the short nose is so that the dress (especially a thighter one) is "hanging" on the nose of the saddle. I am a woman and personally I like long nosed saddles best. Think it is becouse I think it is easyer to avoid sliding around on the seat.
I think personal preferance, ridingstyle and ridingposition is more important than what somebody decided to call it.

Dawn Her hair is a mess. Her make-up is smeared. Lying there, dressed only in a bed sheet, her breath comes noisy and shallow as she sleeps off the night. The cold pre-dawn does not flatter her. But I know better. Nothing looks the way it should after darkness has set in. Behind her, in the window, the sky turns pink, then red and the sun finally begins to rise. The light traces her curves - hips, waist, shoulder, cheek. It catches in the strands of her hair, turning the tangles into a delicate aura of gold. She sighs, soft and lovely. Liquid doe eyes look up and smile at me. Perfection in a moment, in a look. I take that look and memorize it, study it, store it away like a tiny ember so that it will sustain me. Her light will last me through the day, the night, the stress. A thousand hours of failures and flaws. Alone. Until the dawn.
Waiting The mist here makes everything look pale, soft. Not that there is much to see. There is the stone road beneath my feet and the trees that line it. And both are gray in the mist. As I walk further down the road, I realize I have no idea how I got here. I could have sworn to you that five minutes ago, I was in the car with my friends. We were just driving along, having a good time... Maybe I was dreaming. Or maybe I'm dreaming now... Things are lighter, whiter this far down the road. I can see a sort of raised dais with white stone steps that lead to a huge gleaming gate with intricate designs in the metal-work. A young woman sits on the raised dais before the gates. She has long dark hair with fading high-lights. Her elbows rest on her knees and her legs dangle over the edge of the dais. She has an unlit cigarette in one hand and she is staring off into the middle-distance somewhere off to her left, away from me. She looks impatient. She r

Book by

Lyrics by
Susan Birkenhead
Based on the play by Marivaux
2 Acts, Book Musical, Rated PG
Original Broadway Version (1997)
This tongue-in-cheek adaptation of the classic comedy shows us that love knows no limits.
An anachronistic adaptation of the classic Marivaux comedy of the same name,
Triumph Of Love
is full of delicious deception, gender confusions and all the complexities of l'amour, revealing the beauty, absurdities and bittersweet nature of love.
Along with their hilarious "henchmen," Princess Leonide and the handsome Agis become lost on the messy path to love. One of them loves the other. The other is planning to kill her, but unknowingly falls in love with her when she claims to be an on-the-run bride. This after Agis discovers she is not a male student, as her original disguise suggested -- a disguise that served convincing enough for another woman to fall in with her. All this fun and we've not yet made it to intermission! The riotous romp only gains momentum as multiple stories of swift infatuation come to a head for our cast of characters.
This charming, chamber musical is a perfect showcase for actors with toned comedic chops. Thanks to the minimal set and costume demands,
Triumph Of Love
fits flawlessly into any space or on any budget. Audiences everywhere will be engrossed with the sexy repartee, comical buffoonery, and unexpected tenderheartedness.
Visit the Triumph Of Love page on MTI ShowSpace to share and view photos, video, costume and prop rentals and more. Click
Youre Gonna Love Tomorrow was originally staged as a concert organized by The Whitney Museum in 1983 in Stephen Sondheims honorthe same year he was elected to the American Institute of Arts and Letters.

text: NJ School Bans Cursing —If You're a Girl Staff wants 'ladies to act like ladies' By Matt Cantor, Newser User | Suggested by crafter67 Posted Feb 4, 2013 7:29 AM CST STORY COMMENTS (24) (Newser) – New Jersey's Queen of Peace High School would like girls to stop cursing, saying it wants "ladies to act like ladies," a teacher tells the Record. So the Catholic school asked the girls, but not the boys, to take a pledge not to swear, NBC10 reports. The boys, instead, were told they "are not to swear in the presence of ladies." But they should take the pledge, too, says one girl: "Boys should be more like gentlemen." Teachers say they're hoping the girls' clean talk will inspire boys. A boy, meanwhile, tells the Record that "it's unattractive when girls have potty mouths." But he says he can't stop himself from swearing while pitching for the school's baseball team. Good luck anyway, says the author of Why We Curse: People on average drop 80 to 90 off-color words a day, he writes, and "these programs NEVER work." (In other bizarre school-cursing news, a former Columbia student is suing the university, claiming it hospitalized him after he swore at his professor.) A New Jersey school has banned girls from cursing.

Altogether 61 officers from the tri-county area were honored at the seminar for their DUI enforcement efforts. Together they made more than 2,000 DUI arrests. The leading officer in the tri-county area was California Highway Patrol Officer Trevor Smith.

Senior Account Tech Julia Estrada with the city oSalinas was also presented with a special award for managing the financial aspects of the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grants, to include the Avoid the 20 grant, which funds maximum enforcement efforts on holiday weekends.

It is hard to imagine any organization that has ever inspired such excitement and devotion from its customers.
The level of devotion is more intense than one might find in Lake Forest, California.
I will miss her passion, commitment to her art and devotion to her family.
Arthur Koestler, I once argued, had this kind of devotion to divine moral limits.
The devotion of a certain class of British boys to their nannies is legendary, and it seems Prince William is no exception.
His devotion to the Church of Rome, of which they admitted he was not formally a child.
The devotion to and concern for our institutions are deep and sincere.
But however this may be, the devotion of Gaston was not the less sincere.
The enemies of this faith know no god but force, no devotion but its use.
I thought of her as she was, and could have hated myself for the devotion with which my heart regarded her.
early 13c., from Old French devocion "devotion, piety," from Latin devotionem (nominative devotio), noun of action from past participle stem of devovere "dedicate by a vow, sacrifice oneself, promise solemnly," from de- "down, away" (see de-) + vovere "to vow," from votum "vow" (see vow).
In ancient Latin, "act of consecrating by a vow," also "loyalty, fealty, allegiance;" in Church Latin, "devotion to God, piety." This was the original sense in English; the etymological sense, including secular situations, returned 16c. via Italian and French.

Traders continued to sell Treasuries Tue.-Wed. amid fears of huge supply, pushing the 10-year yield to a 6-month-high 3.74% Wed. The spread over the 2-year note hit a record. But there was strong demand for the week's $101 bil worth of issuance. So the 10-year yield ended the week up just 2 ticks at 3.47%. Mortgage rates also fell sharply on Friday.

I had been "fading" lately on some of my longer training rides and was somewhat surprised as I have not had that issue in several years. I just didn't have the energy I normally had at the 70+ mile range. It was more than just the legs feeling tired. The easiest way I can explain it is just a noticeable drop in overall energy level. I have very successfully used bananas and peanut butter crackers for a long time but for whatever reason they just were not working as well as before. I took me several weeks to figure out what was going on-was it rest, stress, getting a year older, etc?????
I had a bottle of Hammer Gel Banana flavored Gel in my ride stash that for whatever reason I had not opened before and thankfully the expiration date was still okay. I took a chance and filled up one of my Gel bottles and used it on my long ride yesterday and it worked super. I had tried a sample of it a day or so ahead just to see how my stomach would handle it and it seemed okay enough to try-but you never really know until you've put it to the riding test! The banana flavor does NOT have caffeine which is what I was trying to avoid as well.
I only ate 2 bananas and used a good bit of the gel later in the ride and it was perfect for me. My stomach accomodated it very well plus it also seemed to get into my system pretty quickly. I'm sure the perfect weather helped to keep the fluid and calorie intake at a more moderate level. I will be interesting to see how it works on a warmer day!!
You can also mix the stuff with fluids or other stuff if you'd like. I've used the GU products before and also Hammer Gel raspberry but for whatever reason the banana Hammer Gel seems like a better fit for me.
Caution-Nutrition is like saddles in that they are a very personal choice for us. We all react differently to gels and foods. Don't do like I did and experiment on a long ride!!! I knew myself well enough to know how I'd react and also had backup plans. However, I think this product could help a lot of folks that are looking to add something that is really easy to use. There are 26 servings in the bottle I have so it works out to about 75 cents per serving-maybe a little cheaper than the individual packs??? I probably used 3-4 servings on my ride yesterday. I suspect I can find it cheaper than what I paid for the bottle and will most likely look around now that I know it's a keeper..........at least for now!!!
I'm beginning to wonder if different types of nutrition are like saddles. Stuff seems to work great for a long time and then for some unknown reason your body decides it has had enough.

Need a Mole Patrol!
My yard is being taken over by moles, and I have tried practically everything short of calling an exterminator (which I don't want to resort to) but the moles are destroying my yard. I've tried the vibrating sticks that you pound into the ground, I've tried castor-based repellents, which sometimes work and sometimes don't. Someone suggested that the key to moles is getting rid of their food, the grubs, so this year I am putting down Grub-Ex. I've even gotten the suggestion of burying ammonia-soaked rags in the ground in their tunnels. Does anyone have any tried and true mole solutions? I live in the country up against a nature preserve. I'm beginning to think it's hopeless. My backyard is becoming a giant sinkhole.

George Jackson in the Sun of Palestine
Join us tonight at 8est for George Jackson University Radio with our honorary and special guest Greg Thomas, a political activist and university professor who has just returned to the United from Palestine. Mr. Thomas along with Dr. Fayed Abu Al-Hajj, the head of the Abu Jihad center, Dr. Issa Qaraka, the head of the Committee of Prisoner Affairs, and Sahar Francis, the director of Addameer (Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association) were among others on Oct. 20, 2015 in Palestine at The Abu Jihad museum at Al Quds University hosting an international exhibition titled "George Jackson in the Sun of Palestine." It is the first international exhibit of this center for prisoner movement affairs located in the Abu Dis village of Jerusalem. The exhibition links the Palestinian prisoner struggle with the struggles of other political prisoners around the world. It aims to raise international awareness about the reality of prisoners in general and what the Israeli Occupation State is doing to harass Palestinian prisoners in particular. The ceremonial opening of the exhibition was preceded by a symposium focused on George Jackson, the Black revolutionary prisoner of North America, and his connection to Palestinian struggles, Palestinian writers and Palestinian prisoners. His belief in the Palestinian right to self-determination, a strong belief shared by his comrades, was a central topic of discussion. So tonight on air we are please to be joined by Mr. Thomas as he shares with us all the details about this monumental occasion.

South Kitsap Girls Get Back on Track
It wasn't the best game the South Kitsap girls basketball team has played, but the Wolves earned every bit of a 47-46 win against the tough Mount Tahoma Thunderbirds on Friday night.
The Wolves (10-2 overall, 4-2 league) opened the season with a nine-game winning streak, then lost back-to-back Narrows League games to Bellarmine Prep and Central Kitsap last week. Their game against Gig Harbor was postponed Wednesday because of snow.
"We just wanted to play better, that's the main thing," SK coach Mark Lutzenheiser said. "Part of it is, Mount Tahoma makes people play helter-skelter, but a lot of it is we were just playing undisciplined."
One of the biggest parts of the Thunderbirds (10-2, 4-2) game is 6-foot-7 senior post Jessi Williamson. The Seattle University signee and shot-blocking phenom did a decent job denying South Kitsap second-chance shots in the first half, but the Wolves were able to use their playmaking ability to get around her in the second half.
Instead of driving straight into Williamson, SK passed the ball to an open player for a mid-range jumper, or kicked the ball out to the perimeter, working the ball around to the corners.
"We wanted to run one particular offense where we get Taylor (Sunkel) or Dana (Goularte) at the high post and draw Jessi Wiliamson out, or at least make her commit," Lutzenheiser said.
MT guard Deborah Anderson, who led the state in scoring last year (27.8 ppg) and scored 38 points on Wednesday in a 67-63 win over Olympia, was absent as well. No reason was given for her absence.
Narrows League Bridge Division MVP point guard Kelsey Callaghan returned for South Kitsap after missing five games with a knee injury.
"I missed it," said Callaghan, who added the last two losses were frustrating for her because she couldn't help her team. "It was so hard for me because they're just such a fun group to play with."
After posting a 23-23 score at halftime, South took a 28-23 lead on a mid-range jumper by Taylor Sunkel and a 3-pointer by Jackie Steiger, who finished with 13 points. But Mount Tahoma came back to tie it midway through the third on a Tanisha Lopez 3-pointer, to make it 32-32. Three lead changes later, Callaghan's bucket tied the game one more time, 39-39 at the end of the third.
After trading possessions and leads in the fourth, the Thunderbirds held a 46-45 advantage on Ashley Keys' steal and bucket with three minutes left.
SK's Sunkel drove down the lane, stepped back from Williamson and drained a jumper for a 47-46 lead with 1:16 remaining. Sunkel finished with 16 points and eight rebounds.
After a critical turnover by Mount Tahoma, South took a timeout with 52.1 seconds left. The Wolves were content to dribble off the clock.
Mount Tahoma was forced to foul, and the Wolves went 0-for-3 at the free-throw line in the final 30 seconds, giving the Thunderbirds a shot.
After a missed free throw by SK with 4.1 seconds left, Williamson rebounded the ball and Mount Tahoma ran down the court where Keys' desperation 3-pointer bounced off the rim at the buzzer.
Callaghan, who finished with five assists, said she and her teammates know they have a lot of room to improve.
"We're not even at our full potential yet," she said.
South Kitsap 47, Mount Tahoma 46
Mount Tahoma 10 13 16 8 — 46

Printable View
I started atkins a couple of days ago but i'm a little confused, do the uk carbs already have the fibre deducted or do i deduct the fibre to get the net carbs?
I was wondering the exact same thing!
Also does anyone know which carb amount i should be looking at the carbs or the "of which sugars" bit?
Thanks in advance.
I think its the total carbs but i'm not sure if i should be deducting the fibre or if its already been deducted. Hopefully someone one will reply
Yes it's already deducted x
Thanks for that. I had 35g of total carbs yesterday, never mind.
Yep - in the uk fibre already deducted so use total carbs number.
If you are using MFP then make sure you get a uk version of item (so pick Tesco or something) giveaway is cups - those are US ones!
Hi Kat1e
Thanks for the info, how about the atkins bars do we deduct fibre off those?
I've read here and there online that the Atkins way of calculating 'net carbs' in their manufactured products might not be as accurate or honest as they'd like us to believe. What do others think about this? For example Atkins shakes and Advantage bars are marketed as 'okay' for all phases of Atkins but they seem to stall or slow my losses. And even slow-down my getting into ketosis during Induction. This is very frustrating as not everyone is badly affected. I seem to be - and cheese also seems to slow me down so I have to limit it to much less than 4 oz each day.
Hi serialslimmer. When I was deciding whether to try Atkins I came across multiple posts where people said the Atkins products have stalled them. That was a big red flag to me and I decided not to touch them. I'm following the 2002 book rather than the newest one, but I know people have been successful with all versions of the diet. I had a great first two weeks and then stalled for several days. I haven't been going overboard with cheese most days but I'm thinking maybe I ought to cut it out entirely for a while just to see what happens. It seems everyone responds a bit differently so trial and error appears to be the best method sometimes! Good luck to you! :)
Atkins bars - dreadful things except when used in an emergency to avoid the real junk!
Cheese does seem to stall people but i think it's probably just too easy to overindulge. Altho atkins said dont count calories that doesnt mean calories dont count! A benefit of low carb eating is your appetite goes down - but if eat a ton of cheese (or nuts for that matter) then can slow the losses. Key is to eat to satisfy appetite not tastebuds:)
I've always had to keep an eye on the calories, too. One mistake I used to make was to also try to keep fats 'moderate (in reality 'low'!)'. Atkins is high fat, medium protein, low carb - but the seasoned dieter has spent years, perhaps decades, 'avoiding' fats. It's sort of ingrained! And it's far from easy to suddenly and without guilt consume lots of The Auld Enemy. Which, as it turns out, is a real friend.
I found that I lost more by increasing my fat intake. It's true, folks! I am vegetarian so for me this means adding butter to vegetables, cream to sauces, mayo (yum!) to boiled eggs, etc. Cutting back on fats, as I understand one is asked to do on Dukan, can all too often slow weight loss, rather than speeding it up. Increasing fat intake, I found, also helped ease hunger during induction.
The Atkins bars I view with suspicion. I once loved them, and ate at least one every day. I still love the Endulge caramel mousse bar (delicious) but seldom buy them. I think bars are fine for an occasional treat or a wobbly moment but not the best idea for every day consumption!

A U.S. Department of Agriculture health alert about an outbreak of Salmonella Heidelberg infection related to raw chicken products has prompted the Defense Commissary Agency to remind patrons to practice proper food safety procedures when handling raw meat, poultry and seafood.
"We want our customers to understand the measures they can use at home to prevent salmonella infection," said Chris Wicker, a public health advisor at DeCA headquarters in Fort Lee, Va. "This means to clean your hands and preparation areas thoroughly; separate raw meat, poultry and seafood when transporting or preparing these items; cook poultry to an internal temperature of 165 degrees and measure with a food thermometer; and chill food promptly and properly after the meal is over."
On Oct. 7, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert after an estimated 278 salmonella illnesses were reported in 18 states, predominantly in California. DeCA officials are monitoring this situation and will issue a recall if it becomes necessary, Wicker said.

When I was there you had to rent and bike theft was a serious issue.
It was pretty weird though, People rigidly obey the rules of the road - cars, bikes, peds. I kept juking or stopping or starting at the wrong times based on my US assumptions of what everyone else was going to do.

I am dyslexic so bear with my posts.... [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
that's pretty cool but it's just a large scale yellow bike thing and that's been going on for a while now. i wonder what unlucky bastards get to work on those things when they crap out..
When I lived there, the RATP (metro/public transport authority) had a system where you could rent bikes for the day for cheap. They were all the same teale-green single speed cruisers (I think they were SS...I don't remember.) It was cool. Paris is the place to ride...In highschool I used to tear it up through the city on a geared mountain bike every morning on the way to school...good memories.
portland had yellow bikes for a short time
It does in Arcata, CA. We have a free bike library here.Originally Posted by Landgolier
I could only imagine what the bikes would look like if Clear Channel had gotten the contract. Billboard trailers connected to the back of every bike?
yes, from the nation wide radio monopoly to diy venues such as the mccarren park pool clear channel likes to ruin everything
Amsterdam got that way by reducing the parking spaces in the city a few percent every year and increasing public trans. Maybe other citys should try the same thing?
You know, that whole idea of slow gradual change instead of right here right now.
im glad they didnt get it also. i don't know if this has popped up anywhere else (i havent left hawaii since june) but there are these "chopper" bikes locked up to the bike racks here with a huge front panel "buy this chopper ad for only 30 bucks a month!" i have yet to see one with an Ad on it but damn... gtfo of my bike rack.Originally Posted by SkyeC
I own a t-shirt that says "clear channel sucks". I'd say I average about one person each time I wear it that asks, "what does that mean?"Originally Posted by soyboy
The problem is that around here, slow gradual change is always right here right now for someone. I mean, I don't care if they take away 1% of parking spaces each year. Its abstract and sounds reasonable. But if they removed that 1% of parking spaces from places I commonly visit, hypothetically speaking, I'd probably be sending it letters to the city and the newspapers etc. complaing bitterly. Local business community gets up in arms when people even mention removal of parking spaces. So nothing gets done, and they cram in more parking. They even have a lobby to remove some bike lanes from our city because the cause undue delay for motorists.Originally Posted by Hocam
People here just can't see the forest for the trees really. We need some european common sense.
They opened a new mall here in San Francisco in the middle of the city but didn't add a parking garage or any additional parking spaces just to force people to think about mass transit. I thought that was a great idea.

High, I want to be able to draw well but I'm looking for help. Everyone I approach for help shuns me into the corner by saying "go practice and soon you will get it." So i do, but I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. After looking at this site I have a couple of questions.
What ares "Studies" I don't understand the mindset of "Studies" are you just drawing? Or are you trying to copy anatomy? Then how do you use that information for your drawings?
I also don't understand perspective studies. How do you study perspective? What are you doing? How are you using the info that you are learning?
I don't understand how to see forms. Everyone says to break something down into its simplest forms. Only when its shown right in front of me I understand. But when I try to break something down into simplest forms I don't understand what I'm looking for or I cant see it.
Forshorting. I really am trying to understand this. From what I understand, its drawing things that are closer larger and things that are further away smaller. But to me it feels like a shot in the dark to get it to look right. I'm trying to understand the mindset.
Roughing out shapes on my paper turns into a jumbled mess and then I really don't know what I'm looking for. People tell me to check proportions before I do my contours but I really cant see whats wrong untill I'm near completion of my drawing. Any help?
I also don't understand to draw losely or lose. If I try, My lines don't go where I want them to go and it turns into a mess on my page. How do I keep my drawings from looking sketchy?
No one has ever sat down and watch me draw and pointed out what I'm doing wrong along the way. So I really don't know where my drawings go wrong.

When God Said Cheers
No shows scheduled for now
When God Said Cheers!! is all that and a lot more.
God (Tom Alter in one of his career's finest roles) 'bumps' into a down-and-out Man (Cyrus Dastur, representing mankind to the 'T') at a local pub and what follows is a volley of questions & answers... something that we've always wanted to ask our Maker but never got the chance. And God in his inimitable style casually retorts ''You're the one who asked for it!''
An intelligent comedy that makes you laugh and think at the same time!''
