A Gallery
The A Gallery was a contemporary art gallery in Wimbledon, London run by Fraser Kee Scott.
The A Gallery was founded by Fraser Kee Scott in 1997.[1] The gallery's first exhibit was recent Chelsea graduate Alison Jackson's Crucifix, priced at £1,500 and five years later valued at ten times that amount, after she had won a Bafta and written a best-selling book.[1]
Scientology connections[edit]
In 2001, Scott became a member of the Church of Scientology during a trip to Los Angeles. The gallery had a shelf of books for sale by Scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard and hosted religious workshops for the Church about two times a week.[2] Scott said that the importance of artists is acknowledged by Scientology, whose teachings can help artists' work by improving their "emotional tone", which in the case of Francis Bacon was "all fear".[2] He said, "In my personal art I am constantly inspired by Scientology, it is impossible not to be, as it is SO helpful and interesting ... I am always inspired by Scientology. Basically L Ron Hubbard knew the importance of artists to society and he pointed out how art has the power to lift moods and change the world and I strive to achieve this goal, a new renaissance!"[3]
He has quoted the Scientology Handbook[4] and has written in support of the Church of Scientology's Youth for Human Rights campaign.[5] He currently works with photographer Tyler Shields, who has said of A Gallery's Scientology affiliation, "I have a lot of friends that are Scientologists ... Fraser [Kee Scott], the guy who runs that gallery, he found me back in the MySpace days. He is a very, very fucking smart guy and he has a great eye for things. He worked at my last gallery and to my knowledge he wasn't promoting Scientology to anybody, he was trying to sell art."[6]
Several of the artists he represents are Scientologists, including Mercedes Helnwein,[7][8] and Gay Ribisi.[9][10]
Nude sculpture[edit]
In 2004, the gallery exhibited in the window a life-sized nude sculpture, This Is Me (Who Am I), by Marie White (aged 24), a graduate of Wimbledon College of Art.[11] The work, made from hair, wax and resin, was shown at her degree show without a problem.[12] A lady entered the gallery and expressed interest in the work.[12] Then some local schoolboys entered and made out they were molesting the sculpture,[13] until Scott shouted at them and they left.[12] Some passers-by made complaints to police that the sculpture was "disgusting",[12] one stopping a police car to do so.[13] Two policeman went to the gallery,[12] which was advised the work was offensive under the Indecent Displays Act 1991.[11] Chief Inspector Neil Patterson, who visited the gallery, said the work was very lifelike, "very explicit and very graphic."[13]
For 24 hours the sculpture was moved to the side of the gallery, out of public view, then returned to the window with two frosted glass panels in place.[12] Scott raised the sculpture's price from £5,000 to £7,000,[12] which he said was nearer its real value, as it had taken eight months and cost £3,000 to make, mainly for 250 hours of the model's time.[13] White said the work was not intended to cause offence, and that, as it was not posed in a "lewd, crude way", she was surprised at "the reaction of males that they can't view a nude sculpture and not imprint the sexual aspect onto her."[11] Scott said he knew that "eye-catching" sculptures in the gallery window, including a large screaming lady, would "get attention, but I didn't know it would get this,"[11] that there were nude sculptures outside the Houses of Parliament, including male figures, and he did not understand why there was so much fuss.[13] The sculpture was later exhibited as part of the town's Feva festival in The Boathouse at Waterside, Knaresborough, White's home town.[14]
In October 2005, Scott, described as "gallery owner—and Stuckist", said in The Daily Telegraph that Tate gallery chairman, Paul Myners, was hypocritical for refusing to divulge the price paid by the Tate for its purchase of The Upper Room, paintings by its trustee, Chris Ofili, who had asked other artists to donate work to the gallery.[15] Scott said that Stuckist artists would be painting pictures called "The Hypocrisy of Myners" and the best one would be offered to the Tate.[15]
The gallery staged On Form, a group show which included Paul Normansell, Diarmuid Byron O'Connor and Stuckist artists, Charles Thomson, Paul Harvey and Peter McArdle, whose painting On a Theme of Annunciation, used to promote the show, was censored by MySpace for showing a nude figure.[1] Scott said it had been removed without warning, called the site "Murdoch Space" and said the painting was not porn or titillation, but thought-provoking: "They don't seem to be able to differentiate between the two!"[1]
In an article in the South London Guardian, Scott talked about the show and also about Scientology.[1] Six weeks later in the Evening Standard, Thomson said the South London Guardian article put the Stuckists in a difficult position, as he had been promised the gallery was run as a commercial enterprise, and it was "outrageous" that the show should be used to promote Scientology, linking it to the Stuckists, who had no connection with the Church.[2] The article had included a painting by Paul Harvey, who said, "I feel my work was being used without my permission to promote Scientology."[2] Leading German Stuckist Peter Klint said it was "very dangerous" to co-operate with the gallery and that it would fund Scientology.[2] Scott said that it wasn't "even an issue" and he did not use artists to promote Scientology, but was dedicated to selling their work, which he did so very successfully.[2]
Interviewed later by Scott, Thomson said that his remarks in the Evening Standard represented how he saw matters at the time, but that he accepted Scott's subsequent explanation that there was no intention to link the show and the Church and Scott did not realise the article would do this; Thomson said to Scott that the matter was a misunderstanding which had been resolved, and the Stuckists had continued to show successfully at the gallery: "For the record, I have always found you to be a very honest and principled person with a genuine passion for art."[16][17]
In July 2007, the Stuckists held an exhibition at the gallery, I Won't Have Sex with You as long as We're Married.[18][19] The Stuckist show was titled after words apparently said to Thomson by his ex-wife, Stella Vine on their wedding night.[19] It coincided with the opening of Vine's major show at Modern Art Oxford and was occasioned by Thomson's anger that the material promoting her show omitted any mention of her time with the Stuckists, which he said had had an influence on galvanising her previously "fairly ordinary" work.[18]
Work in the show included a painting by Harvey based on Vine and Thomson's wedding photo,[20] and two paintings by Mark D of Vine, who holds a placard in one with the words "Go fuck yourself",[21] which Vine had previously said to him, when he attempted to buy her work and she found out he had a link with Thomson.[22] Another painting by Mark D, the Hypocrisy of Myners, depicted Tate gallery chairman, Paul Myners.[21] The show also exhibited Michael Dickinson's collage, Good Boy, for which Dickinson faced prosecution in Turkey on a charge of insulting the Turkish prime minister.[21] Leo Goatley, Rose West's solicitor, showed New Millennium Economic Symphony, a painting commenting on the undermining of "society's dwindling safety" as a result of government reforms.[23]
Myners visited both Vine's and the Stuckists' shows in succession.[24] Scott said, "He [Myners] said he wasn't sure why we were so critical when our art was quite similar to the stuff... at the Tate";[24] Scott replied, "...if that were the case why on earth did the Tate turn down the art we offered them?"[24]
In May 2008, Jason James, head of the British Council in Tokyo, ordered a print from the gallery of Sir Nicholas Serota Makes an Acquisitions Decision, Thomson's "infamous" painting of Tate gallery director, Sir Nicholas Serota, with a view to unveiling it during Serota's forthcoming visit.[25] A printing delay prevented this.[25]
Go Figure[edit]
In June 2008, the gallery opened Go Figure a figurative exhibition by nine artists including Diarmuid Byron O'Connor, Beth Carter, Mila Judge Furstova, Gay Ribisi (mother of Marissa and Giovanni Ribisi), Dormice, Carmen Giraldez, Charles Thomson, Thomas Ostenberg and Paul Normansell.[26]
An article on Go Figure in GQ magazine showed Normansell's painting of Kate Moss, which was seen by the manager of rock band The Killers, who commissioned Normansell to create the artwork for the Day & Age album and the single, Human.[27] The video to the single the Killers featured Normansell's paintings.[28]
The A Gallery was located at 154 Merton Hall Road, Wimbledon, SW19 3PZ.

From Inside Edward Snowden's Life as a Robot:
Wizner had to jump on a phone call during a meeting with his whistleblower client. When he got off the phone, he found that Snowden had rolled the bot into civil liberties lawyer Jameel Jaffer's office and was discussing the 702 provision of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. "It was kind of cool," Wizner says.
It is neat but they're marketing video is at times strangely terrifying. Put different music on when the Susan-bot comes up behind the unknowing Mark and this could be a horror movie trailer.

For those familiar with the Windows registry the above should be enough. For those not familiar, copy and paste the above into notepad, save as a file named "fitbit.reg", and then double click
the reg file and say 'Yes' to the prompt. Hopefully in the final release of Windows 8.1 this won't be an issue.

My first app for Windows 8 was Shout Text. You type into Shout Text, and your text is scaled up as large as possible while still fitting on the screen, as you type. It is the closest thing to a Hello World app as you'll find on the Windows Store that doesn't contain that phrase (by default) and I approached it as the simplest app I could make to learn about Windows modern app development and Windows Store app submission.
I rely on WinJS's default layout to use CSS transforms to scale up the user's text as they type. And they are typing into a simple content editable div.
The app was too simple for me to even consider using ads or charging for it which I learned more about in future apps.
The first interesting issue I ran into was that copying from and then pasting into the content editable div resulted in duplicates of the containing div with copied CSS appearing recursively inside of the content editable div. To fix this I had to catch the paste operation and remove the HTML data from the clipboard to ensure only the plain text data is pasted:
function onPaste() {
var text;
if (window.clipboardData) {
text = window.clipboardData.getData("Text").toString();
window.clipboardData.setData("Text", util.normalizeContentEditableText(text));
shoutText.addEventListener("beforepaste", function () { return false; }, false);
shoutText.addEventListener("paste", onPaste, false);
I additionally found an issue in IE in which applying a CSS transform to a content editable div that has focus doesn't move the screen position of the user input caret - the text is scaled up or down but the caret remains the same size and in the same place on the screen. To fix this I made the following hack to reapply the current cursor position and text selection which resets the screen position of the user input caret.
function resetCaret() {
setTimeout(function () {
var cursorPos = document.selection.createRange().duplicate();
}, 200);
shoutText.attachEvent("onresize", function () { resetCaret(); }, true);

(via I did a new talk at TED, on drug companies and hidden data.)
Level 7 of the Stripe CTF involved running a length extension attack on the level 7 server's custom crypto code.
def logs(id):
rows = get_logs(id)
return render_template('logs.html', logs=rows)
def verify_signature(user_id, sig, raw_params):
# get secret token for user_id
row = g.db.select_one('users', {'id': user_id})
except db.NotFound:
raise BadSignature('no such user_id')
secret = str(row['secret'])
h = hashlib.sha1()
h.update(secret + raw_params)
print 'computed signature', h.hexdigest(), 'for body', repr(raw_params)
if h.hexdigest() != sig:
raise BadSignature('signature does not match')
return True
The level 7 web app is a web API in which clients submit signed RESTful requests and some actions are restricted to particular clients. The goal is to view the response to one of the restricted actions. The first issue is that there is a logs path to display the previous requests for a user and although the logs path requires the client to be authenticatd, it doesn't restrict the logs you view to be for the user for which you are authenticated. So you can manually change the number in the '/logs/[#]' to '/logs/1' to view the logs for the user ID 1 who can make restricted requests. The level 7 web app can be exploited with replay attacks but you won't find in the logs any of the restricted requests we need to run for our goal. And we can't just modify the requests because they are signed.
However they are signed using their own custom signing code which can be exploited by a length extension attack. All Merkle–Damgård hash algorithms (which includes MD5, and SHA) have the property that if you hash data of the form (secret + data) where data is known and the length but not content of secret is known you can construct the hash for a new message (secret + data + padding + newdata) where newdata is whatever you like and padding is determined using newdata, data, and the length of secret. You can find a sha-padding.py script on VNSecurity blog that will tell you the new hash and padding per the above. With that I produced my new restricted request based on another user's previous request. The original request was the following.
The new request with padding and my new content was the following.
My new data in the new request is able to overwrite the waffle parameter because their parser fills in a map without checking if the parameter existed previously.
Code review red flags included custom crypto looking code. However I am not a crypto expert and it was difficult for me to find the solution to this level.
I've been following this advice for many years now to the extent that I find myself rewriting text to make linking my nouns easier and shorter.
The one I wasn't following that seems obvious only after I read it is to keep links towards the end of your text to allow users to follow the link once they're done reading.
links at the end of the sentence allow users to take action faster
451 Unavailable for Legal Reasons: The 451 status code is optional; clients cannot rely upon its use. It is imaginable that certain legal authorities may wish to avoid transparency, and not only forbid access to certain resources, but also disclosure that the restriction exists.
That was fast.

Wouldn't want this game to pull a RE,Splinter cell, Dead space 3 and before the wider audience. #1.1.1 (Edited 1043d ago ) | Agree(4) | Disagree(4) | Report NewVegasTroop + 1043d ago My response to your idea: http://www.youtube.com/watc... #1.1.2 Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report grailly + 1043d ago I mostly agree, though the things they wanted were mainly: "make it better!" I disagree though that the faction weren't good. I loved having the factions in fallout: NV, starting a few missions with each and having to make a choice once they asked you to attack another one was fun. It also introduced very different endings which is greatly appreciated. Hey, it's nice to see choices have consequences, for once! #1.2 Agree(3) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply j-blaze + 1043d ago 2 more things: -i want it to be a sequel if possible, Fallout 3 had a great setting and atmosphere -the overweight/limited item carrying thing need to go away #2 Agree(2) | Disagree(12) | Report | Reply Kurt Russell + 1043d ago Item limit most certainly does not need to go away. And a new place in the wasteland would be nice to see. #2.1 (Edited 1043d ago ) | Agree(9) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply vickers500 + 1043d ago One thing that they do need to change are the amount of Money merchants have. It's incredibly annoying having picked up tons of loot in the wasteland, hoping to sell it off but only being able to sell off a small portion of it because the merchants only have 500 to 1000 currency (or a little bit more if you waste your skills/perks to get them to have a little bit more). I'm sure they could work some logical credit system into the story instead of only having physical currency. A form of faster transportation would be nice too. Bicycle, motorbike, motorcycle (was already in fo3), horses, hoverboards, parachute or wingsuit (if they decide to make the game a little bit more vertical), jetpacks, or hell even sprinting. Walking around the wasteland exploring is really fun for a long time, but after a while, you just want to get where you need to go when you've seen most everything around you. And you can't tell me a few of those things wouldn't be really cool. I do think there should be more options for increasing carrying capacity though. Like having to sacrifice skill points in guns or something in order to have more capacity. They need more options for it than FO3 had which pretty much only had increase strength I believe. #2.1.1 Agree(2) | Disagree(2) | Report ThanatosDMC + 1043d ago I would like more Item Tabs or at least be able to mark items to go to a separate tab. It's a pain to scroll to so much crap that's in my inventory. #2.1.2 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report grailly + 1043d ago maybe a better item management, but item limit is important! hardcore mode in NV made it even more interesting. weighing out your ammo for food was an interesting idea. but food and water were way to easy to come by. A better version of hardcore would be great. #2.2 Agree(5) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Root + 1043d ago More Unique Weapons.....I love the challenge of finding those things, especially if your a low level. I used to try and get the Vengeance in Death Claw Sanctuary when I just came out of the vault, I used to go to the tec museum to get some Stealth boys then go....it was tense. Shame they don't offer that kind of challenge in Elder Scrolls.....mostly everything is just randomly generated weapons wise. Oh and I know this might sound harsh but don't add children if we can't kill them...look at Mayor Mcreedy in the last game, he was a little prick and I couldn't even blow his smug head off. #3 (Edited 1043d ago ) | Agree(6) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply grailly + 1043d ago I think they should make the weapon plans easier to find. I didn't build many weapons because I never really had the plans for them. but I agree, more unique weapons. #3.1 Agree(2) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply PhoenixRising37 + 1043d ago i want one of these 2 things: 1: take away enemies that fire on you from afar because the player can't shoot at long range without a sniper rifle but the enemies can. 2: give the player the ability to fire far away accurately. more than often i would lose a ton of health from enemies firing at me from a mile away with SMG's and Pistols. #4 Agree(4) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply FunkMacNasty + 1043d ago I highly disagree with the artcle's #2 point: #2 - Make loot more meaningful. The author says that theres tons of loot but all he needs is ammo and health?? Whaaaat!? I found every piece of loot in the Fallout universe to be worth something, even if nothing more than a handful of bottle caps at a vendor - especially when you have recipies/blueprints to make weapons and potions.. you'll wind up looking for coveted and abstract things like railroad spikes, steam guages and toy cars.. And remember the "Rock-IT launcher" from Fallout 3??? Once you build that thing, every peice of loot became valuble ammo. Shooting a teddy bear and bowling pins at enemies at high velocity ftw!! If there's one thing I want from the next Fallout, its a higher level cap. I could play that game all day! #5 Agree(5) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply bitboi + 1043d ago It'll be awesome if they made this for the WiiU, the controller would make an excellent Pip-Boy! #6 Agree(4) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Zichu + 1043d ago Definitely agree with 1, 3, 5, and 6. Factions is something I enjoyed to be honest, forced you to be even more careful in the Wasteland when wearing certain pieces of armor. #7 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply greatcrusader44 + 1043d ago "Fallout: New Vegas was cool but we all know that Fallout is rightfully Bethesda territory, and nobody can nail the post-apocalyptic intensity like them." What? FNV was made by Obsidian, who is comprised of a lot of people who made the original Fallouts. #8 Agree(5) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply PS3Freak + 1043d ago I'd like to see the leveling system from Skyrim be adopted. I find that whenever I reach the level cap I become disinterested. One of the main reasons for doing a quest is to get XP and when xp doesn't mean anything anymore, that becomes a problem for me. Skyrim fixed that by having a leveling system that was not linear. Also, I prefer that you level up skills by using them, rather than just applying points to them when you level up like in NV and F3. #9 (Edited 1043d ago ) | Agree(0) | Disagree(3) | Report | Reply banjadude + 1043d ago Not sure if I agree. Having been a long time fan of the Fallout series (played F1, and F2 to death), the S.P.E.C.I.A.L character system was the staple of the series... I do like Skyrim's leveling system, but I don't think it "matches" with the Fallout series. #9.1 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply grailly + 1043d ago I disagree, I think the fallout system is more fun. When you here that level ding, the pure joy you feel is priceless. in skyrim I didn't really care for levels anymore, most of my stats were high anyway. #9.2 Agree(5) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply PS3Freak + 1043d ago To each their own I suppose. Well I do agree with what most of you guys said; don't you find that once you reached the cap, the game kind of loses it's luster? However one other thing that I think Skyrim improved upon is lockpicking. In Fallout if you don't have the required skill it pretty much tells you "f off come back later". I like how you can still pick master locks in Skyrim even if your skill is low; you just end up wasting several lockpicks trying to find the sweet spot. #9.3 (Edited 1043d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply banjadude + 1042d ago Absolutely! The lock-picking BS in Fallout 3/New Vegas was a major turnoff for me. I just think Betheseda needs to do a better job balancing XP rewards, b/c it IS true that reaching high levels/the max cap in Fallout 3 and New Vegas is too easy (thus making the game lose its luster). #9.3.1 (Edited 1042d ago ) | Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report Kingdom Come + 1043d ago Quite lazily written in my opinion, I mean, think he doesn't want to see in Fallout 4: Less Bugs? #10 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Kingdom Come + 1043d ago Edit: Due to my comment on the site, the author has edited the article. #10.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply xXBlondieVanHarlowXx + 1043d ago I kinda hope hardcore mode from F:NV comes back in F4. I thought it was pretty neat that you actually got hungry, thirsty and sleepy. Made looting far more essential, trying to be as thorough as possible ramsacking a whole freaking building full of super mutants just to find a purified water bottle was both intense and hilarious. I hope they don't necessarily remove factions. Both hardcore mode and factions added a really fun new layer of gameplay that i hope gets improved in Fallout 4. #11 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Monsterbro64 + 1043d ago Srry for the n00b atom bomb question but whats a faction >.< #11.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply xXBlondieVanHarlowXx + 1042d ago lol, factions were different groups of people stationed around New Vegas,, Most of whom didn't take kindly to each other. Getting closer and cosy with one faction might put you on another factions bad side. Ocassionaly it would put you on a whole towns bad side. Putting on an enemy faction's attire would also make certain factions hostile. Off the top of my head i can think of these factions, New California Republic (NCR), Mr.House, Caesar's Legion, Boomers, Brotherhood of Steel, Followers of the Apocalypse, Great Khans, Enclave, Powder Gangers, and the Kings gang members. Or you could just go solo and eff everyone over lol. It was a gameplay mechanic centered around trust and betrayal and i found it very cool ^_^ unfortunately alot of people found it to be a tedious chore so i'm not sure if it'll be back (,_, ) #11.1.1 (Edited 1042d ago ) | Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report th3n00bg4m3r + 1043d ago Sexy chicks #12 Agree(2) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply Revolver_X_ + 1043d ago Fallout 4 needs to keep everything from 3 and NV. The aiming system in NV was better. Hardcore mode and factions were great. Fallout 4 should have more rare weapons. Loved the Lincoln Repeater in F3. NV kinda shyed away from the importance of rare weapons. I say not in DC but close so we can still hear Three Dog! Or in California. After all the BoS is based out of California. Above DC past the Pitt was Super Mutant territory, so if Boss Town rumor is true, we may finally see the origins of Super Mutants. #13 Agree(5) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply NewVegasTroop + 1043d ago the origins of super mutants??? play fallout 1 is the origin of the super mutants... #13.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply grailly + 1043d ago I'de like the gore to be toned down, I thought the last iterations of the franchise had to much of an emphasis on gore, I thought it felt useless. I'de also like more immoral/hilarious choices. giving my companion away to cannibals was one of my best gaming moments this gen. #14 Agree(0) | Disagree(7) | Report | Reply xXBlondieVanHarlowXx + 1042d ago It's a game centered around an apocalyptic wasteland were there is little to now law, add to that every gang member, cannibal, "vampire", slave owner, mutant and tubs full of radiation and i can't see how it would work without alot of gore. #14.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Monsterbro64 + 1043d ago What would be epic is automobiles or atleast a surviving transportation to get places faster, and when u create weapons they should come in full condition not half. I mean u make them from scratch! Bigger world, in nyc maybe too :D #15 Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply TheDivine + 1043d ago I always thought a motorcycle would be super dope in New Vegas. Could have sold motorcycle armor on XBL and made a fortune lol. #15.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Saber757 + 1043d ago Why do people keep forgetting CO-OP with one other or 2 other friends. My and my brothers have been waiting for YEARS for Bethesda to pick up on this idea, I talk to many people about it they agree, there is money to be made there! It would be amazing to share the experience or go off and build out own reps individually (optional of course). Also, I want to CONTROL my own faction, not just "be part of it". I want to give the orders and make a difference. At least that's want I wanted out of Fallout 3. Let Elder Lyons retire peacefully take control and I make the wasteland into a seeding repairing civilization (I love playing as a noble hero like that....lol). Or let people be leaders and do want they want, perhaps rally raiders groups to do your dirty work. Or Leader Mercs and gather vast amounts of wealth and put that wealth to use making improvements in soldiers/BoS/Raider gear (it doesn't have to be limited to these factions). #16 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Azreinoch + 1037d ago I have to agree with the majority of the topics in the article, one thing that would be really nice to see though (and I've seen this on quite a few other articles, as well as being a constant subject with my friends) is means of transportation. Add a motorcycle, or a dirt bike, or even some awesome enclave styled transportation like a hover board with tesla coils. A verti-bird would take the cake, but that might be asking too much. . Honestly though I'd have to say the biggest thing for me, that being a history buff I could not get enough of in Fallout 3, were all the historical artifacts like Lincoln's repeater, hat, etc. Granted the majority of these things were in the Museum Of HISTORY so that's pretty much a given you'd find at least some things in there, but for those that completed the quest "Stealing Independence" quest and got the bill of rights, or found the White House, was that not at least some what cool? I don't know, it could just be my mind warped from all that Jet I took but I would be pretty ecstatic if they put as many actual historical facts as they could into the next location. #17 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Add comment You need to be registered to add comments.

Mark & Jacinta
Hi Dee We hired you on the 3rd december last year for our engagement party. And would recommend and use you again in the future. Great looking car inside and out. Gangsta limos was on time and competitively priced with excellent service and a very friendly driver. Thanks
Kylie Scroggie I would like to take this opportunity to thank Gangsta Limos for there impeccable customer service skills and highly maintained vehicle. I recently hired your Chrysler 300c Limousine for my Wedding dated Saturday 5th March 2011 and both my husband and I were very impressed with the service we received. Even from the start of the transaction when searching for the best price Gangsta Limos were by far the cheapest quote i had received. I went to view your vehicle and the two gentlemen who greeted me were very welcoming . Dealing with Dianna for payments and my constant itinerary changes was a breeze although i made a few little changes to the itinerary she was always polite, friendly and professional. Our Chauffer for the day went above and beyond to cater to our needs, i was especially impressed when he assisted in holding my dress each time i entered and exited the Limousine to save it rubbing on the tire. He was very professional at his job, well mannered and neatly presented. I would highly recommend Gangsta Limousines to anyone who requires the hire of a Limousine for any occasion. Kindest Regards,
Mr and Mrs Scroggie
We had a fantastic day! Please say thank you to the driver for us as he was very helpful on our day. Thank you for all your cooperation and help during our planning and on our day. I will definitely recommend you in future. Kind regards
Dannielle Petherbridge
I just wanted to give you a quick email. Marcus was amazing and he definitely made me and my bridal party smile!! We loved everything about your limo and your company and we will definitely recommend your company to others. You, yourself have been excellent to liase with and I cannot thank you enough for all your help. Especially moving the wedding date forward too. Once I get photo's back from my photographer I will email you some from my home email account. We had a lovely day without too many issues. Everything ran to time (except a reception issue) even including a quick toilet stop before the ceremony, I think Marcus would have been laughing at a pregnant woman running up a steep drive and a bride and 2 others running up the same drive in heels ( which I never wear!) So all in all a wonderful day pleased it's finished though. Unfortunately no honeymoon until October but that's ok. Thank you again so much for everything you yourself and Gangsta Limos did to make our day perfect. Have a great day

In Paris, food for thought at Miu Miu, Alexander McQueen and – maybe – Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane
Prada's Miu Miu label have commissioned an ongoing series of film shorts, titled "Women's Tales", by leading female filmmakers. The latest is by Alice Rohrwacher. It's number 9. The intention, Miu Miu say, in the lavish literature that's issued out with each, is to answer a few timeless questions. "How do women appear to themselves? How do they appear to each other? Isn't appearance also a political and intellectual issue? How should a woman be today?"

Creativity, commerce, and choking tradition: Dior Homme, Hermes, Loewe, Thom Browne in Paris
If you ascend Paris' Eiffel tower – say, during a free moment during the spring/summer 2015 menswear shows – you can look out on a vista relatively unchanged from the first day the tower was opened in 1889, of Baron Haussmann's neoclassical façades and wide avenues. French law ensures that: Second Empire plans are in many cases more or less followed, with "alignement" law still in place to regulates a building's height according to the width of the streets it borders. It's fabulous for a sight-seer who gets to step back in time, almost. But many argue it's choking the development of the city as a whole. Personally, I see a parallel with much of Paris fashion, where tradition can often choke creativity.

Noble aims, fun and games, and Donatella's Game of Thrones. Umit Benan, Saint Laurent and Atelier Versace, in Paris.
Umit Benan's ode to Jackie Robinson and Hedi Slimane's streetwise Saint Laurent close the autumn/winter 2014 menswear season, while Donatella Versace opens the spring couture. Fashion waits for no man, woman, nor Lady Gaga, in Paris.

In Paris, Chanel goes arty-farty while tricky Saint Laurent trickles up
Hedi Slimane's Saint Laurent shows the trickiness of trickle up rather than trickle down, as well as being referential but not reverential. Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel, by contrast, was a masterpiece of really, really great clothes. Simple.

After a long day's work, step out of the office and head on to a refreshing sight, hear the relaxing sound of gushing water and enjoy the benefits of a sumptuous meal. That is the newest experience of Festival Supermall's River Park.
Recently completed as the initial phase of the mall's upgrading and expansion, River Park offers eleven (11) unique dining concepts – from a coffee shop to a number of casual dining and post dinner options in an al fresco set-up one can truly savor.
Festival Supermall is a kaleidoscope of shopping, recreation, amusement and celebration all rolled into one dynamic destination.
It has an impressive lineup of casual dining and fast food outlets, fashionable boutiques, hardware, appliances and home furnishing centers, hobby and souvenir shops, health and wellness stations, supermarkets, department stores, and service centers.
Festival Supermal alsol has a pre-school where playing and learning are fun and exciting.
Designed by the world-renowned RTKL of the United States, Festival Supermall is a fusion of nature and leisure. Complete with 2,300 parking spaces, it is the only venue that offers every family a unique and exciting shopping experience.
Where malls are most often in a block of hardscape buildings, this new development of Festival Supermall connects the shoppers with nature. Anchoring on the natural river and enhancing the ambiance with fresh and green landscaping, River Park brings in a whole new dimension of mall experience and dining.
In line with Filinvest City's rebranding, Festival Supermall has embarked on a grand expansion that will upgrade the mall and keep up with the current growth in the country's retail industry. "River Park is the first part of Festival Supermall's strategic move to strengthen its offerings and maximize the potential market in the south. And in the last quarter of 2015, we will see the completion of the 4-level mall expansion featuring foreign fashion brands which will definitely concretize our commitment to bring in better brands for our shoppers.", declares Joy Polloso, the Senior Vice President of Filinvest Commercial Centers.
With an outdoor design, River Park is meant to engage the shoppers in revelling in this natural backdrop. Whether on bike or on rubber shoes, one can go around using the bike/jogging paths ribboning around the development. While the evening ambiance is perfect for a romantic date, it is also a place where kids can frolic on the grass on a family's day out. And may it be for a power lunch, a meeting or after-work de-stressing, from an early morning breakfast to a late night chitchat with pals, the dining choices and atmosphere in River Park will provide the fitting venue for these activities.
"River Park will add a new dimension in dining. It boasts of not just a lush natural park, but also 1.5 kilometer of live creek surrounding the entire mall," states George Domingo, assistant vice-president for business development-commercial centers of Filinvest Land, Inc. "Imagine dining with such a gorgeous natural ambience!"
Currently open in River Park now is Market Basket whose concept is a modern day dampa. Also set to open soon are exciting dining establishments such as Starbucks, Bizu Patisserie, Asahikawa Bangaichi Ramen, Mati's Meat and Bread, Hog's Breath Cafe, Chef's Barrel and Mug, Planet Grapes, SF Bistro and a yet to be named lounge concept.
"Featuring an outdoor ampitheater, River Park will soon be the 'IT' place for shows, concerts and events. We have laid out an exciting array of activities that will complete the multi-dimensional shopping experience of our customers", says Rose Nuqui, vice-president for commercial centers of Filinvest.
The mall's upgrading and increased GLA is part of Filinvest Land's renewed thrust for expansion of its retail components. "Last year, we started on identifying the areas where we could expand outside of Filinvest City and have plotted build-up of retail developments in the next five years in Luzon and presence to as far as Cebu.", added Polloso.
Festival Supermall is a premier development in Filinvest City, Alabang, Muntinlupa City. It is the only mall with five anchor stores: Shopwise Supercenter, SaveMore, Robinsons Department Store, Ace Hardware and Handyman. It has over 700 shops, a total of 2,300 multilevel parking slots, various food outlets, and indoor amusement rides.

Although I have experience working with children in child care settings, what I really love to do is work with them one-on-one, as a babysitter or nanny. I love the creative curriculum, which I have applied in the classroom but also would like to apply as a nanny. I enjoy observing what the children's interests are and creating fun, enriching activities around those interests. I myself have a wide variety of interests, including science, reading, and music (I play guitar and ukulele), and I love getting to share these with the children I care for.

I took a nap.
Hey, it seemed like the fatherly thing to do. Also, loafing.
I'm going to be flying in to Hartford, Connecticut on 18 June to have a public conversation about The Happy Atheist. I know some people won't be free at 7pm to join in, and I've been asked if there are any other public events planned while I'm there.
No, there isn't. It's a real blitz — I fly in on Wednesday morning, and fly out again early on Thursday. But I'm amenable! I'm staying at the Hilton Hartford on Trumbull Street, and if anyone knows of any good nearby places (or we could just meet at the Hilton bar), let me know and we'll arrange something for post-talk relaxation. I imagine I'll be free after 9pm, and I just have to be at the airport around 4am, so what the heck, the night is a dead loss anyway. Make it better.
This is not good. I have a couple of students anxious to get to work (I'm anxious to get to work), and we've been prepping my lab zebrafish facility for an influx of new fish that we expected to arrive this week, and then I check into the Zebrafish International Resource Center, the source for all of our lines, and get this message.
Due to a fire, ZIRC services have been temporarily disrupted. We are unable to provide fish or accept submissions at this time. We sincerely apologize for this delay and hope that it does not seriously disrupt your activities. If you have an order pending at ZIRC, we will be in contact with you as soon as possible. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Yep, that's us. Order pending. Expected to ship tomorrow. That's not happening now. Most of my summer research money got spent on something essential that is indefinitely delayed.
Oh, well, I can't blame ZIRC for a problem beyond their control, that I'm sure they'd rather hadn't occurred either. I'm going to have to scavenge up some healthy, fecund experimental animals somehow. So my plan is to drive into Minneapolis today and visit a few quality aquarium stores (not Walmart) and scrape together a bunch of mongrel fish that will at least let me and my students do some preliminary practice. Which means my entire day is sort of demolished right now.
At least I can double up — I'm also taping some shows with Humanists of Minnesota this evening, so I'm making a long day of it.
Ophelia tells you the important stuff about our get-together last night: the view from the Olympic Sculpture Garden was spectacular.
If you think I was cute in that last picture, here's an even better one: me and my mother in 1957.
Notice: no beard yet.
I love the pearls. Very Jackie.
I'm neglecting the blog because I'm hanging out with my mother and sisters, which means…getting all sentimental and going through the old photo albums. I've now got a whole series of photos illustrating the evolution of the beard. I thought you might be amused to see what I looked like in my teens going on twenties.
I used to be adorable before I got all grizzled and homely.
We're meeting clandestinely on Friday, but the Humanists of Washington have also organized a meetup after my talk at Town Hall on Thursday. Join everyone here:
Elephant & Castle
1415 Fifth Avenue
Seattle, WA
I'm heading off to Seattle today, and I'll be speaking at Town Hall on Thursday. I'm also planning on a get-together with Ophelia and other interested parties on Friday evening, somewhere in the city, but I'm not announcing where in public — intrusive trolls are even worse in the world of meat than they are in the world of the internet. If you're in the area and interested in joining us, you'll have to email me, say a little about yourself, and maybe I'll reply with the top secret location. Maybe. If you sound nice.
Or if you know Ophelia, you can talk to her. We're being cautious because I'm expecting a quiet evening of friendly conversation, and there actually are assholes in Seattle, as nice a city as it is otherwise, and they're not invited. And if they show up, we'll just be ignoring them.
In August, I'll be speaking in Edinburgh, and the details of the event are emerging. I'll be speaking at The Banshee Labyrinth at 7:50 on 14 August. I like the name.
I think that if you get lost looking for it, all you have to do is scream.

Castelfranco Veneto Local Customs
Elections day
It was Aprile 10, the elections day, when I've visited Castelfranco Veneto, and the whole town was "decorated" by the pictures of candidats who want to rule the country. The northern part of Italy is kind of Berlusconi's stronghold and his picture dominates in most of the glass window shops.
Since I am neutral in this metter would like to ask my Italian friends, "would you buy a use car from this man, I certainly wouldn't".
In mia vita ho visuto in due dittature, uno sotto Tito ed altra sotto Tudjman, pe rcui, sono perffetamente in grado di rinonoscere i sintomi.

Chula Vista team to open Little League World Series today
A little team from Chula Vista has conquered the West for the second time in five years.
Now, Eastlake Little League sets its sights on duplicating the World Series title that Park View claimed in 2009.
Chula Vista's latest All-Stars to advance to South Williamsport, Pa., will open the double-elimination tournament today at noon against Great Lakes, marking the latest chapter in a whirlwind summer that has left Eastlake as one of 16 teams standing in the international field.
"They deserve it," Eastlake manager Rick Tibbett said of his team, the fourth from San Diego County to advance to the Little League World Series in the last 13 years. "They deserve it. We'll represent well. I'm sure we will."
Eastlake has so far. The team won its first 16 games to breeze through the district, section, sub-division south and Southern California state tournaments. After a brief hiccup in the final game of pool play in the West Region, Eastlake is sitting on an 18-1 record, eight wins by 10 or more runs and a 205-44 advantage in runs scored throughout the summer.
That run of dominance is the result of a roster filled with potent bats and power arms, the latter feasting on run support in cruising through most of their games.
In fact, Eastlake won it its final two games in the West Region by a combined score of 21-0, and its pitching staff has allowed more than three runs just four times all season — all wins because the team is averaging 10.8 runs per game.
"When the offense is putting up those kind of runs, when the offense goes out in the first couple of innings and scores six or seven runs, our pitchers can challenge hitters and challenge them confidently," coach Doug Holman said. "That's one of the reasons we've been so good as a staff. If a kid goes yard, so what?"
Of course, neither Nevada nor Northern California managed that kind of contact in last week's elimination games.
Right-hander Nick Mora turned in a two-hit shutout Friday, and right-hander Grant Holman avenged the team's only defeat of the summer, 3-2 against Northern California, with nine strikeouts in his own two-hit shutout to extend Eastlake's season.
"He did super good," said Giancarlo Cortez, a first baseman and one of the team's seven pitchers. "It was huge that he came out and pitched like he did. It was a huge game for him and one of the best pitching performances I've seen."
Eastlake will need more of that to navigate a challenging slate of teams in South Williamsport and follow in Park View's footsteps.
Up first: Great Lakes rep Grosse Pointe Woods-Shores, Mich., which won its regional 10-3 behind 10 strikeouts and two home runs by 6-foot-2, 200-pound Chad Lorkowski.
The U.S. field also includes Sammamish, Wash. — which won its Northwest Region championship alongside Chula Vista in San Bernardino — and five other all-star teams from the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New England, Southeast and Southwest regions.
"It's really cool being here," leadoff hitter Micah Pietila-Wiggs said earlier this week. "I really want to play all those different teams."

how about a menace that goes after someone other than humans/Earth for a change?
I like that. Kirk and crew trying to prevent a disaster on/to another planet. You still have big scale events, but not a threat to Earth for a change.
Thanks, buddy! Some will say that we already got this in the Narada's attack on Vulcan and the Volcano sequence from Into Darkness, so I want to be clear that I'm talking about having that be the PRIMARY plot, potentially in a setting where they're not even wanted. (?)
To clarify further, aside from Enterprise and crew, I don't want Earth involved AT ALL. No Insurrection or Avatar knock offs please!
