Played by: Lakker, DJ Haus [UTTU], Hound Scales
Review: Emerging as one of the most prolific producers currently operating on the fringes of techno, Lakker's Ian McDonnell adds the Unknown To The Unknown label to his prospering discography with this riotous slab under the rarely used EeOo alias. As Lakker, McDonnell and studio partner Dara Smith have been crafting various strands of music for the best part of a decade, but a more concerted focus on techno has seen the Dublin-based pair gain wider exposure thanks to releases on Killekill, Stroboscopic Artefacts, Blueprint and Candela Rising. McDonnell has separately been cultivating his own Eomac project over this period too, which has resulted in some excellent releases for Code Is Law, The Trilogy Tapes and Killekill. Ahead of a debut album for the latter label as Eomac, McDonnell's work as the amusingly framed EeOo seems perfectly suited to UTTU, taking influence from Zomby, Arovane, and Errorsmith. the EP runs the gauntlet between scrambled rave, wonky acid and seemingly eski-inspired melodies, and is possibly one of the wildest records UTTU have put out in their illustrious history.

Review: The WT Records boss and all round hero of leftfield house circles Willie Burns is building bridges across the pond to DJ Haus' irrevocably irreverent Unknown To The Unknown. It's a chance for Burns to zoom in on his love of old-skool sounds and show them off without a whisper of self doubt. "Woo Right" kicks things off with a piano-led heater steeped in moody '90s attitude, while "The Heaviest Elements" makes for a more aggressive affair with more overt club stylings to impart through tough-edged beats and a distinct lack of any melody. "Fast Times At Long Island City High" shuffles arpeggios and dusty drums through lo-fi delay in a more esoteric approach that is ably followed up by "Adverbs & Adjectives" with its chords that fall somewhere between Detroit techno and early trance in their euphoric veneer.

Review: After some initial forays into the lime light for the likes of Hippos In Tanks, Physical Therapy gets the golden ticket in to the deranged Unknown To The Unknown workhouse to turn out some of that irreverent but archly delivered party-smashing business. "C'mere" is a perfect case in point, putting forwards a strong argument for how deep footwork-infused electro can be, while at the same time keeping the cheeky vocal samples bouncing around with wild abandon. "The Black Night Is Calling My Name" keeps things low-slung and rude, while the title track speaks more to a dishevelled, mildly unhinged version of deep house. It's a fun and creatively worthwhile EP at every turn, which is exactly why it fits perfectly on UTTU.

Review: The Unknown To The Unknown juggernaut shows no signs of slowing down as they absorb UK garage heroes Mista Men into the fray, delivering three club-ready bombs from the duo. "Labrini" takes it back to '97 with its steel pan percussion and bright streaks of neon intersecting its passages of sticky bassline action. "Forget U" opts for the darker approach, offering only snatches of vocals from its foggy bass, while "Hard Drive" takes some bracing synth stabs and puts them together with some breathy vocals and junglist airhorns to create a devastating combination. Right now only Disclosure can match this pair for such impeccably produced garage inspired beats - big tip!

Review: Stepping up to the raucous surroundings of Unknown To The Unknown, Palace comes bringing the right kind of bass-laden swagger you expect from this ever-strengthening imprint. "Trust" is a monster, led by a coarse garage drum jive and a b-line cheeky enough to get every wallflower within fifty metres shucking. There's no doubting the instantaneous results this banger will bring, and the remixes are no shirkers either. Matrixxman cools the heat slightly with a mildly stripped variation on the original's driving theme, while the Mista Men opt instead to bring a seriously funky house shuffle to bear on the bin-bothering party antics.

Review: Given Unknown To The Unknown's wide ranging remit, including bassline garage, Detroit electro and Chicago house, it was perhaps inevitable that a genuine 90s house record would find its way onto the label at some point. Originally released in 1992, OHM's "Tribal Tone" was supposedly the first tune to use the Korg M1 sound that was later immortalised by Robin S' "Show Me Love", and had considerable impact at the time, being championed The Shamen frontman Mr C, being licensed to R&S sub-label Global Cuts and US label Vibe, and finding itself remixed by the Sabres of Paradise trio. Here it finds itself with three similarly great remixes, a stripped-back, raw groover from Marquis Hawkes, a horn-heavy piece of 90s action from Capracara and a thundering mid-tempo effort from Northern Souls. Essential!

Review: UTTU return with what is probably their most impressive release yet; The Sadist, a collaboration by the legendary DJ Stingray, and Unknown To The Unknown's DJ Haus. It certainly lives up to its namesake, with "The Sadist (Part One) employing a 160BPM tempo and a searing electro bassline, and furious drum programming that brings the influence of Chicago juke to Stingray's Detroit leaning template. Part two of "The Sadist" meanwhile concentrates more on rapid 808 drum programming and more fluid synths, dragging the listener remorselessly through a world of alien sounds and breakbeat bass. The remixes meanwhile are something very special indeed, with Drexciya's Heinrich Mueller reworking "The Sadist" with a slower tempo, brittle, frosty synth shards and weird transmissions from the other side, and Cestrian (aka Ali Renault) provides similarly great remix of "The Sadist Pt 2", employing all manner of analogue arpeggios in a fine approximation of Detroit's finest.

Review: In just over a year, Unknown to the Unknown have gone from humble beginnings to releasing material from Detroit legend DJ Stingray, Chicago heat from Marcus Mixx and Alias G, the rudest bassline garage from DJ Q and tracks from up and comers Slackk, Nightwave and Mista Men. But the genesis of the label can be traced back to a YouTube channel known as "DaAutopsy", where Hot City's DJ Haus still posts forthcoming UTTU hype and old vinyl rips to this day. Now the channel has taken on a life of its own, and spewed forth "Tear Tha Fuckin' Club Up!". Undoubtedly the hardest hitting UTTU joint to date, incandescent rave stabs go toe to toe with Baltimore club styles, creating a beast of a club track that resembles a Frankenstein's monster of the YouTube generation. Big tip!

Review: Danny Wolfers is stuck in a groove right now, a hugely prolific production groove which has him tossing out new material on a seemingly weekly basis for all manner of labels. Hot on the heels of that Nacho Patrol 12" for Simonetti and a under the cover album for Blue Moon Safari comes this this three track debut for the equally relentless Unknown To The Unknown label. The Star Gazing EP makes for a wondrous display of Legowelt's talent for implementing those trademark melodies within various rhythmic frameworks; in the case of stand out track "Visions In My Mind", it's a hypnotic disco jacker lent no small degree of melancholy by the titular vocal.

Review: Continuing to spread his identity out across a myriad of labels from Tectonic to Keysound, Jack Adams now brings his Mumdance to Unknown To The Unknown for a workout that channels his own production traits into a decidedly 'up-for-it' blend that suits the label just fine. "It's Peak" marches out on a limber, garage-informed groove while the sounds and ideas stay raw and visceral, honed for club consumption. "Springtime" meanwhile flips the script completely with a purple-esque electro number dripping with saccharine synths shot through with that tongue-in-cheek UTTU flavour, making this a record that will reach out to very different kinds of electronic beat fiends.

Review: That fun-loving renegade DJ Haus is at it again, whipping out an embarrassment of party-starters for all those that want to be smacked in the face by their house music. The lead chords of "Hey Now, Wait A Minute" tell you all you need to know, pitched towards the peak of summer that lies somewhere in the distance and ready to inspire all manner of grins in the dance. The drums are rowdy and the synths are brazen across the EP, from the Nightmares On Wax-aping bleep abandon of "Dexterous" to the scuffed breakbeat of "Tell Me", with every ounce of old-skool 'avin it attitude rendered in perfect early '90s style.

Review: UTTU have a cast-iron reputation for releasing cutting edge work by a wide variety of acts as disparate as Legowelt, Sinden and Capracara. Here we get a selection of their more bass/urban-oriented talent. Classified delivers vintage cut-up UKG on "Say To You". The latter is given a wobble heavy remix by DJ Q, who also provides the warm, Ayia Napa sounds of "All You Have To" and "You're Not Around". Zibba contributes the squelchy, string laden "Say To You (2006)" and Mooney goes all loopy funk on "Hey Hey".

Review: Back in the 90s, US techno producer Steve Stoll released an EP on white vinyl in the shape of a circular saw. The art for the latest release on DJ Haus' label looks similar to that release - and doesn't sound radically different either. In fact, the only real difference to Stoll's 1995 release is the absence of forceful acid pulses - otherwise, P.O.L Style's "Saw" and the "Saw 2" version crackle with insistent percussion, insistent stabs and an insistent, jacking rhythm. Remixes from Mike Q and Neana, which add a banging, drum-heavy sensibility to the original "Saw", complete the package.

Review: Bringing more of the rough and tumble jack-action to Unknown To The Unknown, Capracara is as up for the party as ever on "Ronin", although arguably reining in his more wayward tendencies for a more direct garage house jam. Still, when the drums hit as hard as they do here, a little linear structure doesn't dampen the spirits. Recent Juno Plus podcasters Kodiak step up for a remix, and they proceed to delineate everything in sight with a chunky broken beat and dense layers of head-spinning melody, vocal samples and effects. It's perhaps less party ready than the original, but addictive all the same. Killer!

Review: The seemingly unstoppable musical juggernaut that is Unknown to The Unknown marches on with this incendiary single from label boss DJ Haus. "Needin U'" is fresh as they come, a love letter to classic house and UK hardcore and a UFK anthem all at the same time. Mostly, however, it's just straight-up fun rave tackle, with the remix from shape-shifting producer Capracara every bit as good, replacing the original's stepping rhythms with a robust, refreshingly smacky 4/4 pulse. Highly recommended.

Review: Continuing to bait overly serious dance music with unashamed rave fodder, Unknown To The Unknown enlist a couple of rough and ready remixers in to take DJ Haus' "Needin U" into further realms of large. R1 Ryders step up first with more breaks than a Channel 5 film, wasting no time in launching into a dark slice of rolling old-skool goodness drenched in mammoth synths. Photonz's remix may seem restrained in comparison, kicking off on a haunting refrain and submerged beats, all the while edging towards a proper drop that calls to mind the finest space age machinations of Yorkshire bleep.

Review: Following on from their excellent Hands of Doom collaboration on Sex Tags, Lozano and Fett Burger get together again. On this occasion however, Lozano delivers three tracks, with Fett Burger providing a remix. The title track is a tracky, acidic affair, based on a discordant rhythm and shot through with high-pitched vocal snippets. "Come With Me" is closer in sound to Hands of Doom, with its robust break beats supporting ponderous tones and bleeps. It sets the scene for "The Afterworld", an atmospheric, fluid track, supported again by lithe back beats, while Fett Burger sends the track into a dreamy state, with a balmy, serene house groove.

Review: After sturdy appearances on Numbers and Local Action, Slackk returns to one of his earlier outposts in the form of Unknown To The Unknown, throwing down a curious mixture of oriental folk music with grime-inspired beats and the occasional flurry of vintage computer game MIDI business. The beats are slippery and jerky on "Inland" where the synth comes in all side-chained and disjointed, with only gun shots for ballast on the buoyant groove. "Wolf Creek" brings on the aforementioned Monkey Island vibes, using curious keys and harmonies to create a decidedly eerie atmosphere, while "Blue Forest" is arguably the spiciest tune on the EP with its urgent percussion and more involved arrangements of lute action worked into a stomping 140 bpm rhythm.

Review: All that time conversing with the likes of Marcus Mixx and DJ Stingray must have rubbed off on Unknown To The Unknown's DJ Haus. Despite his Hot City project (alongside Ben Keen) being known for its bass-heavy 2-step productions, this EP, in collaboration with the LA/Montreal pair LOL Boys, consists of a pair of tweaking acid-house jackers. The title track opens with a flurry of swung 808 kicks and neon stabs, before giving way to a rough and ready 303 line, with the rhythm straightened out in the second half into a tough 4/4 house rhythm. "Whitney (Jus Some Shit)" is another winning piece of Chicago inspired house, with a gnarled bassline, driven by furious cowbells and detuned ghetto vocal samples, all with a grimy undercurrent that keeps its feet firmly entrenched in the underground of contemporary London club music. If you're worried that the new direction will cause some of Hot Ciy and LOL Boys energy to be lost in translation, don't be - this is some their best output to date.

Review: Lisbon producer Lake Haze pops his UTTU cherry here with two classy forays into the world of his beloved UK garage. The boy's done good with these new additions to the label's revered catalogue - "Late Night Trip" is a stomping 4 x 4 wobble belter wrapped in typically trippy, bleepy melodies. However, with its laser blasts, epic synthlines and heavy tropical rhythms, "Need For Speed" ain't just Tom Cruise's favourite, it's ours too!

Review: DJ Stingray's second appearance on Unknown To The Unknown is finally made available digitally. "Cryptic" is a bad-ass Stingray cut, where his uncompromising synth arpeggios flutter away into space, taking us on a wild frenzy through inter-galactic territories. "Know Your Enemy" is a heavy, breakbeat-ridden mutant - containing some of the nastiest, most filthy vocal samples you'll hear this millenium, whilst "Solitude" picks up from where the man left off since his last LP and delivers a fine package of funky electro basslines and gnarly, contorted drum patterns. TIP!

Review: 50 releases in under four years is no mean feat, so a round of applause to Unknown to the Unknown who surpass the landmark with a new record from Legowelt. The superbly named Immensity Of Cosmic Space arrives hot on the heels of Legowelt's fine Vaporware Tracks record for Creme and sees the Dutchman exploring the realm of rave era breakbeat techno. Of course what makes Danny Wolfers work as Legowelt so distinctive his mastery of star gazing melodies and hearing them fused with recycled drum breaks on the title track and the Amen filled "Lumeria2" is a real delight.

Review: Gang Fatale's Bleaker delivers one of the simplest but deadliest mixing tools you'll hear all year. With its relentless kicks, loopy vocal sample and breakdown into classic amens, it's the type of rolling tech record you could imagine working in almost any DJ's sets from Scuba to VonStroke to Deetron to the Stanton Warriors. HELIX's remix, meanwhile, subverts the linear nature of the original and churns it through a trippy beat machine with added harmonic dynamics. Finally "Jam" takes Bleaker's stripped back style and rebuilds it with added Detroitian grit to the drums; all skittering hi-hats and jaw-breaking toms, it's designed purely for DJ creativity.

Review: UTTU helpfully describe this release from Boysnoize affiliates Shadow Dancer as "dungeon acid". It's an apt description. Ooozing with energy, it sounds like the revivalist rave fare recently offered up by the excellent R-Zone imprint. "Hydrate" darts around impressively, all chopped up vocals, darkroom samples, colossal builds and rave-era stavs. Photonz handle remix duties, turning the in-your-face original into an intense chunk of nightmarish acid techno that seems to be the product of a particularly freakish trip. That's a good thing, mind. Bonus cut "Matta", on the other hand, offers the sort of classic 303 thrills last heard emerging from the studios of Phuture and Virgo Four at the tail end of the 1980s.

Review: With over 20 releases in less than two years UTTU have managed to uphold their credibility, so often lost with labels who spit out song after song like copy machines (to quote Lil' Louis' French Kiss), and this release from Portugeuse pairing Photonz is another killer. Balearic, beatdown and busy electro with hints of a 80s Hollywood action soundtrack make up the ten-minute title "Hurt Me Hurt Me". Piqued melodies and synthesised pan pips are treated to 707 workouts in "Veracruz", remixed by Boy s Noize Records stalwarts Shadow Dancer who up the BPM and exercise their Warp Records influences.

Review: Fresh from impressing via releases on L.I.E.S and Viewlexx, DJ Overdose heads over to Unknown To The Unknown for a spot of techno-jackin'. Thrillingly, "Housejam Freaker" combines fizzing, upbeat machine drum rhythms, deep space chords and wild, sped-up Motor City electronics to create something that sounds like the bastard offspring of Jeff Mills, Drexciya and Phuture. Willie Burns provides the obligatory remix, offering something that retains the original's energy whilst increasing the beauty factor tenfold. Elsewhere, he wanders into deep acid territory on the straight-up jacker "Dikzak", and delivers a surprisingly funky dose of intergalactic electro on the cheery "Vinca". A string of handy locked grooves complete a tasty package.

Review: Capracara's "House Of Dolls" was one of Unknown To The Unknown's finest tracks last year, and here it gets a reworking from library music and soundtrack specialist Jonny Trunk. The hookup, we can only assume, came through Burnip's appreciation of slasher movie soundtracks, and the result is as out there as you could imagine - stripping the radiophonic bleeps from the original, Trunk leaves only an echo of the original's melody and adds some acoustic samples to glue the remix together. Propelled by nothing other than a simple kick drum, it's what you might imagine a music concrete version of house music to sound like.

Review: Musical output from Jonathan Burnip has been somewhat sporadic in the five years he has been in operation, but when he does drop a record it always counts for something. On 'House of Dolls', his masterful command of a standout hosue groove comes to the fore, as a perfectly bumping beat offsets a cavernous organ stab. All the while digital squalls flit around the track, but really everything revolves around the funk of the track. TAPES take a cheeky 8 bit dub approach to their remix, which is charming if not as striking as the fantastic original. Another winner for the on point Unknown To The Unknown imprint.

Review: More commonly known for his vicious club constructions on Night Slugs as Helix, US producer Beau Thigpen added the DJ Vague alias to his collar earlier this year with Porsche Trax for Sydney's Templar Sound. That title was largely inspired by Thomas Bangalter's run of Roule 12"s from the late '90s. Thigpen's latest DJ Vague transmission for Unknown To The Unknown beefs up the house of before into something more associable with Shed and Head High than Daft Punk. Fast and loopy French house does make an appearance on "Hard Workin' Trax 2" however, while on "Hard Workin' Trax 3" intense drum rolls, deep synths, mechanical hi-hats and reverberant atmospheres create a blusterous techno production. Three safe DJ tools.

Review: After popping up on Opal Tapes amongst other cult labels over the past couple of years, DJ Ford Foster has made the move to Unknown To The Unknown and he's in the mood to get nasty. "Gold Cans" is a primal slice of gritty jack business that moves in the stiffest possible groove, while every single drum sound seems to grind its teeth to make the grizzly synth feel at home. "Let's Go" has a definite ghetto house flavour to it, while "Black Candles" gets more deranged with a whole lot of sample triggering and background droning behind the jackhammer beats. "Fake Shoes" is equally unhinged and upfront in its approach, making this a perfect release for the UTTU mission.

Review: UTTU boss man DJ Haus has enjoyed a productive year, dashing between the forthright ghetto-house vibes of his Thug Houz Anthems series and the kaleidoscopic rave revivalism and garage-flecked rush of his Space Jamz Vol. 1 12". Here, the hard-working, London-based producer delivers more retro-futurist thrills, with a two-track blast of floor-friendly fun. Predictably, there's something suitably anthem-like about "Comin' On", a rush-inducing blast of late night acid-funk replete with spine-tingling vocal samples and nagging 303 tweakery. "When You Look At" has a similarly robust feel, with an addictive bassline and boompty-era beats underpinning more sharp vocal samples and a deliciously simple bleep melody.

Review: Given the apparent air of mystery surrounding this release, not to mention the befuddled mentions of aliens and military droids in the accompanying press release, the smart money is on this latest Unknown to the Unknown release being the work of a talented, eccentric and well-named producer under a new pseudonym. We won't give the game away (the catalogue number offers a big clue), but suffice to say that the music is fantastic. "Drown In Your Love", all heady chords, tropical chants, hissing analogue percussion and saucer-eyed electronics, is particularly revelatory, but the hip-hop sampling intergalactic oddness of "Skyscrapers of Yphsilion" isn't far behind. The dreamy "We Gonna Ride Tonite" offers some respite in the form of an intoxicating, vintage deep house gem - all twinkling chords, fuzzy beats and stargazing intent.

"Cross Strut" places the emphasis on clattering percussion locked into a hard funk, while "Crook" lets a few more atmospheric splatters of melody and reverb into the twitchy mix.

An introduction to architecture:
Architecture is more about space than walls. Architecture is more about functionality than structure. Architecture is more about people's life than pure aesthetics. Louis Isadore Kahn (my far-preferred architect) said that architecture is about light and silence, that architecture is timeless, that beauty in itself doesn't exist, as it is the result of a social and historical selection.
I would say that if you shot architecture, shot exactly what moves you: details or compositions; forms, spaces, shadows, lights and reflections, rhythms and textures; life in these spaces (all kind of life); born, transformation, aging and death of buildings and built spaces, traces left either by time, nature or human, etc. You don't need to understand architecture unless you intend to build something. To photograph it, you only need to feel it.
By analogy with a novel, photographing architecture is a question of "reading", not of "writing". You won't need the skills of a writer, but those of a reader.
I'm an architect (used to be one, years ago).

Community Care Resources of Middleton racked up $6.1 million in inappropriate charges and profits - mostly for its owners' personal use - from 2009 to 2011, according to the audit by the state Department of Children and Families. That amounts to 34% of the $18.1 million paid to the foster-child placement agency over that three-year period. »Read Full Article(40)

Let's face it: LeBron James is at the level right now where unless his team takes the NBA Championship, his season is a bitter disappointment. With those epic expectations, the vast majority of his career will probably be a pressure-filled letdown. And who wants that? Especially when he can walk away from the court and instead lend his prodigious talents to the world of pornography instead.
(Hey, this is a perfect fit! We're sure Tom Brady won't mind; it's nothing new for Gisele.)
The IVY LEAGUE PORNOGRAPHER has done us the service of musing about whether LeBron would make a good - ahem - male lead. Everything's SFW except for some sporadic language, but mind where you click out, y'know. So what's his future going to be, Dirk Nowitzki or Dirk Diggler?
[Male rooster] size. The biggest X-factor, obviously. Stereotypes dictate that LeBron's "carrying" a "huge hog," but you can't count on that. A sculpted, beaming professional athlete might be a promising sight in a porn-draft, but without a penis of concomitant size, he's just not selling tapes. The celeb factor will get you in the door; but after a few viewings, your average porn fan's going to want at least 8 inches, thick. With no reports coming in as yet, this remains an interesting can't-tell.
(Will porn star & former gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey [L] bring her colossal cans to the Cavs' courtside to complement LeBron's long john?)
It would obviously be a letdown if LeBron weren't slinging a parking meter, if only for the same reason as people were upset when POPULAR MECHANICS said Jesus Christ was probably only 5′3″. "Do you know who you're talking about? Of course he was huge! He's practically immortal! C'mon!"
The pornographer then goes on to consider other basketball players who would be a logical fit for a career in the adult entertainment business - perhaps Nike's got a porn-unfriiendly contract with LeBron in place - before settling on one man. We won't spoil it, but we think you know exactly who it is, especially since his heritage is also a popular way of keeping the hedges trimmed (you'll see).
One thing we don't understand, however, is the worrying about the quality (and quantity) of LeBron's ejaculation. Yes, this can be hit or miss (no pun intended); after all, you can't tell Peter North's testicles hold buckets of semen just by looking at him in a basketball uniform or anything. Still, this shouldn't be a concern, as we all know exactly what LeBron's money shot would look like.
(It's beautiful.)

Weekend's End Lord of the Rings
It's not surprising that immediately after the Labor Party's election disintegration Peres is picking up the pieces of political debris, his face glowing like Scarlett O'Hara's - "after all, tomorrow is another day..." For like a fish in the sea, like an eel in the river, Shimon Peres swims in failure.
Shimon Peres managed to extract something positive even from the burning remnants of Columbia space shuttle. He managed to find consolation - encouragement even - in the disaster, which "made a connection between Hebrew with an American accent, to the accent of America, to love for Israel" (or something like that). He took this opportunity to connect - as usual - also between pessimism and optimism and between the first part of a sentence and its second part.
It's not surprising that immediately after the Labor Party's election disintegration Peres is picking up the pieces of political debris, his face glowing like Scarlett O'Hara's - "after all, tomorrow is another day..." For like a fish in the sea, like an eel in the river, Shimon Peres swims in failure. Full of might and vitality he kicks, rolls over, turns somersaults, flops, energetically splashing droplets all around him.
Given his post-election vigor, nobody would even guess that this collapse might not least have been his fault and the fault of his colleagues and their opportunism in the unity government. Au contraire - he is full of rage that the loss was again snatched from his fingers and given to someone else. But since loss is his element for the past ages - it is no wonder that he is the most recovered and cheery of all the party members.
Light headed with the many options brought forth by the failure, once again he bows under the abundance of the blessing's curse or the curse's blessing. Once again he gathers the pieces of debris, like someone examining precious stones, calculating how he might build a magnificent coalition palace out of them, on condition that he himself is set at the center of the edifice.
Here is just an example to one of many options that burst forth from the glorious failure. How about setting up "a coalition bloc" with Shinui, Labor and One Nation (not necessarily in this order). Or perhaps a coalition with Oded Tira, the economy leaders, the Israel Bonds' leaders and those disappointed with Sharansky. And we must not rule out even "a preventive bloc" - a sort of stranglehold - if one adds the Knesset seats Peres could have got by not running for Meretz instead of Barak, along with the seats he could have won had he run in Labor instead of Mitzna.
Despite what appears to be a heroic refusal (going on for years) to sever himself from the age of 79 and touch down at the good age of 80 - the years are already showing on his face. His jaw is heavy, his eyes are sunken, his hair envelops his brow in a white halo like one of those ageless magicians in Lord of the Rings.
However, it will not be biological age that defeats Peres, but his vocal cords on the day he becomes hoarse and loses the "right to shout" - that ability to shriek in Labor's central committee and instill some awful terror into its members. ("Did someone here say we won't go to a unity government?" "Does someone here decide for everyone?")
And then his fate will be sealed. Then all Labor's wolves will pounce on him. But until then he will survive another term, another summer, another winter, another election; scheming, undermining, calculating, cheering up - this week suddenly donning a black leather jacket, like some ghostly biker - and surprising us with an economic message. ("We should ask first thing what to do so there are no more unemployed and what to do to enter a little bit into the peace thing.")
Can our lives be imagined without this phoenix, who rises from the ashes and then returns to them? Without the man who is capable, as he himself would put it, of turning every heap of ashes into a bird - and every bird into a heap of ashes?

A high school basketball game consists of four eight-minute quarters.
A high school basketball game consists of four eight-minute quarters.
For 22 minutes in Thursday night's Blue Springs South-Blue Springs McDonald's Tournament, Blue Springs matched Rockhurst nearly point for point.
Then, the wheels fell for coach Adam Jones' Wildcats as the Hawklets went on a 13-2 run over the final two minutes of the third quarter and the first four minutes of the fourth quarter to claim a 77-63 victory that puts them in the 7 p.m. Saturday championship game against host Blue Springs South for the second year in a row.
"South is such a solid team – their guards are so fast and can do so many things to hurt you," Rockhurst coach Mark Nusbaum said. "We're going to have our hands full in the championship game. And this Blue Springs team is good, too.
"For about three quarters, this was a game. It's deceiving to see the final score, because it was much closer than the score would indicate."
With just less than two minutes to go in the third period, Rockhurst's Tom Keller hit a big 3-pointer and two layups. He and Cartier Dean then combined for the first nine points of the fourth quarter to turn a thriller into a blow out.
"Tommy did a nice job," Nusbaum said, "I'm pretty happy with the way the guys played tonight overall. Blue Springs is a very athletic team, and we were able to find a way to pull away at the end."
Jones met for a lengthy postgame session with his 2-1 squad.
"We have to get mentally fit," Jones said. "We didn't handle adversity very well tonight. When they pressured us, we just kind of collapsed late in the third quarter and early in the fourth quarter.
"We hadn't done that the entire game, that's why that (13-2 Rockhurst scoring) streak is so disappointing. I challenged the guys to get tougher mentally. Physically, we're in great shape, but we have to get tougher mentally."
Senior forward Jay Corwin backed his coach's comments.
"That stretch in the third and fourth quarters was rough," said Corwin, who finished with a team-high 15 points. "We lost our composure, and that's really disappointing.
"We had played so well, and they made that run and we kept turning the ball over and it was like there wasn't anything we could do to stop them."
The Hawklets turned five Blue Springs turnovers into nine points during the run, and coasted to a 22-13 advantage in the final eight minutes of play.
"It will be interesting to see how we respond against Truman in the third-place game Saturday," Jones said, referring to the 3:15 p.m. game Saturday at South. "We need to have a good practice tomorrow and come out strong against Truman."
Page 2 of 2 - Kyle Wolf, who had 12 points in the first quarter, led the Hawklets with 22 points. Keller finished with 11 and Dean nine.

One of The Best Naruto Fights Ever: Rock Lee vs. Gaara
Summary, Review, and Thoughts on Rock Lee vs. Gaara.
Rock Lee vs. Gaara
(AMV by andreybici93)
The Rock Lee vs. Gaara fight is not just one of the best fights in the Naruto series, but it's definitely one of the best fights in manga/anime history. During the Chunin exams, in the first round of the tournament, Rock Lee fights Gaara, a ninja from the village of Sunagakure. With Rock Lee's speed and specialty in taijutsu –techniques that are mainly focused on physical attacks, and Gaara's capability to manipulate sand in order to protect himself, this battle was fated to be one of Kishimoto's best Naruto fights.
The Best Fantasy & Sci-Fi page on Facebook- Join now!
In the beginning of the fight, Rock Lee attacks Gaara with his quick taijutsu moves, but despite his speed, he fails to hit him because of Gaara's animating sand defense techniques; It's as if the sand gourd in his back has its own conscience, protecting Gaara from outside forces. After a series of Rock Lee's attempts, Gaara uses his sand to attack Rock Lee, and the force hurts him a bit, but soon, he makes a keeps himself distant, jump-rolling away from Gaara then standing on top of the hand statues, he takes off his extremely-heavy ankle weights after his mentor Guy permits him to do so, and drops them from above, dramatically breaking the ground beneath him, shocking the spectators of the match and even Gaara himself.
Having his encumbrance removed multiplied his speed exponentially, and Gaara had a harder time reacting against his lightning-speed moves. The sand couldn't keep up with his fast attacks. Rock Lee makes his first successful hit with a swift kick, wounding Gaara on the face while shocking the crowd and the viewers because we've never seen Gaara, the seemingly invulnerable antagonist, get hurt before. Then Rock Lee attacks Gaara with one of his signature moves –"The Lotus", a move that hurts Gaara temporarily; however, he manages to recover, and he releases the "beast" inside of him, using sand powers that are more powerful than before. He becomes more offensive, and attacks Rock Lee with waves and waves of sands that could keep up with Rock Lee's speed. Rock Lee shows signs of fatigue as he tries to escape Gaara's sands. But after Rock Lee opens his "chakra gates", he unleashes a fury like no other. It reminds me of Goku first turning into a "Super-saiyan" in Dragonball Z. After he beats up Gaara with powerful blows that sends him flying back-and-forth in the air, he takes advantage of the power with his "Lotus" technique, breaking Gaara's gourd. However, the attack didn't finish Gaara completely. Before Rock Lee could recover from the side effects of opening the chakra gates, Gaara takes advantage of the opening and crushes his left arm and left leg with his "Desert Coffin" technique.
Hands down, this is a fight to remember. It was as if Kishimoto designed both characters just to set up this fight; as if they're meant for each other. A highly trained ninja who specializes in taijutsu fighting a ninja with raw power and ultimate defense, is a spectacle worth seeing even if you don't like reading or watching Naruto.

I also enjoyed the performances of Fielding West, Jonathan Levit, and Kevin James. Good times...

Yanks Pound Sox, Await Other Sox
The Chicago White Sox are a bad team, one of the very worst in baseball. But in early August, coming off a double-digit losing streak, they were still strong enough to sweep the Yankees in a series that represented the unquestioned nadir of the Yankee season.
Three weeks later, a rejuvenated Yankee team got revenge with a resounding 9-1 win that showed how far this club has come in a short time.
The Yankees battered the White Sox with an eight-run fourth inning, a statement that this is not the same team the White Sox pushed around last month. Then, the Yankees were without Jeter and recent lineup staple Mark Reynolds, and had just gotten the rusty Curtis Granderson and Alex Rodriguez back into the lineup. That club may have looked similar to this squad on paper, but in reality that was a far different team, one also distracted by the circus surrounding the 211-game suspension Rodriguez was handed during the Chicago series.
"We've played better, there's no doubt about it," manager Joe Girardi said. "We've added a few pieces here since we played them. We've gotten some other guys that have gotten some at-bats under their belt; they were pretty fresh in Grandy and Alex. I feel a lot better."
The Yankees need to crush teams like the White Sox if they are to have any chance at the postseason. The win brought the Yankees to a mere three games out of a wild-card playoff spot as of the final pitch, but they know it's for naught if they don't push the White Sox around for the next two games as well, before welcoming the Boston Red Sox to town for a pivotal four-game series this weekend.
In a fourth inning that was part vengeance, part emotional release, the Yankees let off steam and got back at the White Sox for last month. They sent 13 men to the plate, lashing singles all over the park. It wasn't all their doing, though; the ineptitude of the White Sox helped matters along. Chicago catcher Josh Phegley dropped a pop-up in foul territory, and first baseman Adam Dunn threw away a potential double-play grounder as the Yankees happily took the free runs.
"It's just one of those innings that you don't see happen too often," Derek Jeter said. "It's very difficult to do. We were fortunate. We got some bounces that went our way, but for the most part we had good at-bats up and down the lineup."
The eight-run frame was the biggest single inning the team has had all year, and after a season of tight, close games, the players bounced around the dugout reveling in their big lead.
"Everybody kind of got loose after that inning," catcher Austin Romine said. "We were all energized. People were champing at the bit to get up there, get a hit and help the team out. It was really fun for us. A lot of our games have been close, so it was nice to have some breathing room."
It wasn't just the offense that put on a show; the pitching, particularly long reliever David Huff, also delivered.
Fans have been clamoring for Girardi to dump the struggling Phil Hughes from the rotation and replace him with flavor-of-the-month waiver wire pickup Huff. Girardi wouldn't oblige. So mother nature stood up for the fans, and did it for him.
Hughes started the game, but pitched only 1.1 innings before persistent rain delayed the game for nearly two hours. That forced Girardi to send Hughes to the showers and call on his long reliever, Huff.
Huff has been excellent so far for the Yankees, with a 0.87 ERA in 10.1 innings entering play Monday. He added 5.2 innings of one-run ball to his resume against the White Sox, with only a Paul Konerko home run in garbage time staining his scoresheet.
Huff's strong showing did little to put the rotation question to rest. The White Sox' offense is the worst in the league—the Yankees actually pushed Hughes's rotation turn back a day so that he'd get to face Chicago—but Huff's outing still resonated.
"I haven't made any decisions about changing the rotation," Girardi said, later adding, "He's pitched really well here. He has."
Huff now has a 1.13 ERA in 16 innings with the Yankees, and said he's ready to start if asked. But as a guy claimed off waivers, what he really wants is big-league innings, whenever in the game they may come.
"I'm just hopeful to get innings," Huff said. "We're trying to make a playoff push right now, and we're just trying to win ballgames."

Hi, my name is Jody van der Kwaak. I am a graphic designer and photographer. I live in the Netherlands, but I was born in South Africa and I still feel rooted there. I always felt a strong connection to this beautiful country and its great diversity. Yes, it has problems, but why not focus on the positive?
With my book, Ekasi, I want to give an insight in the life of the townships, a story told by young adults who share their view on their world through photography and poems. Photos and poems that inspire. I believe we can learn from other cultures, simply by showing interest. Not by blindly believing the negative things we hear and read, but by looking through the eyes of the inhabitants and by reading words that will touch your heart.
This book is not just a book. It's a story that must be told.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables and the related earnings conference call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP operating income and operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP dilutive net income per share and non-GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding. We also provide first quarter 2013 non-GAAP dilutive net income per share and non-GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and future results. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand and manage our business and forecast future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Our non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments based on the following items: Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP operating results. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods. Amortization of intangible assets: We have excluded the effect of amortization of intangible assets from our non-GAAP operating results. Amortization of intangible assets is a non-cash expense, and it is not part of our core operations. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to future period revenues as well. Change in fair value of preferred stock warrants: We have excluded the effect of the expense resulting from the change in fair value of preferred stock warrants from our non-GAAP operating results. The change in fair value is a non-cash expense, and it is not part of our core operations. Upon completion of our IPO in November 2012, all preferred stock warrants converted to common stock warrants. Our non-GAAP Financial Measures are described as follows: Non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin - Non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit as reported on our consolidated statements of operations, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation and intangible asset amortization expense. Non-GAAP gross margin is non-GAAP gross profit divided by net revenue. Non-GAAP operating income and operating margin - Non-GAAP operating income is income from operations as reported on our consolidated statements of operations, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation and intangible asset amortization expense. Non-GAAP operating margin is non-GAAP operating income divided by net revenue. Non-GAAP net income and diluted income per share - Non-GAAP net income is net income as reported on our consolidated statements of operations, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, intangible asset amortization expense, and the change in fair value of preferred stock warrants. Non-GAAP diluted income per share is non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Non-GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding was computed to give effect to the conversion of all redeemable convertible preferred stock, as if conversion had occurred at the beginning of the period. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

I felt the standard of writing and acting was high I wish more films could handle the characters this well. It wasn't just a revenge story as feared, I liked the moral implication. It examined what Star Fleet was about a lot better than Star Trek Insurrection did.
The only disapointment was that there was no scene of Kirk sat in the captains chair with tribbles on his head and tribbles covering the bridge.
I thought the tribble scene would show an extra two tribbles instead of the tribble just reviving

2-1/2 stars (out of 4)
Slender but surprisingly smart and pleasing - a bit like its star role for Juliette Binoche - "Jet Lag" is a sprightly French romantic comedy about a mismatched couple at a Paris airport: neurotic celebrity chef Felix (Jean Reno) and saucy beautician Rose (Binoche). Directed and co-scripted by Daniele Thompson ("La Buche"), it's the sort of film American reviewers like to describe as a souffle - and here, there's some justification. A knowledge of souffles and vinaigrette is a crucial part of how these lovers eventually connect.
Temperamental opposites, Felix and Rose are thrown together in the chaos of public strikes and canceled flights at the airport - in a string of meet-cute encounters that start when Rose accidentally flushes her cell phone down a toilet and borrows Felix's. Finally, they are forced to spend a sexually edgy night together at the local airport Hilton, and if you can't guess what happens next in this witty little trifle, you know neither the French nor their films.
Thanks to Binoche and Reno, the movie begins with dazzling confidence, but it gets slighter and slighter as it goes on until, by the last scene, the characters have lost most of their hearts and the film much of its wit. I liked it, but perhaps only the fact that the couple is played by Binoche and Reno makes "Jet Lag" work well. They fill up the screen, and so does Paris' mammoth Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport.If you've ever been stranded or delayed, you may sympathize with Rose and Felix, stuck in the de Gaulle.
"Jet Lag" (or "Decalage Horaire") is very good at summoning up the tension of air travel: the lines, the angst, the sometimes infuriating clerks. Still, the main anxiety is sexual, especially after Felix shows up at the wrong moment and prompts a final tantrum from Rose's jealous boyfriend.
They're a study in cute contrasts. Rose is a plainspoken but kind beautician from a French Communist background who tears up when they play left-wing anthems. Felix is a fussy, haggard-looking emigre who has become a millionaire chef, frozen-foods magnate and front man in the United States. She's off to Mexico, fleeing an abusive 12-year relationship with her maniac boyfriend, Sergio (played by Sergi Lopez, the blood-chilling Harry of "Harry: He's Here to Help"). Felix's love life has fallen apart as well, and he's detouring from a New York-to-Germany flight to attend a funeral. She rolls with the punches; he avoids them or freaks out in private.
Whatever happens in the film, the actors are fun to watch and make up for a lot. Binoche, the sensitive star of "The English Patient" and "Three Colors: Blue," has one of those faces that breaks hearts in close-up. The Spanish emigre Reno, with his hulking frame, sad eyes and sloppy grin, has the great shaggy presence of one of the old earthy French stars like Jean Gabin or Yves Montand, but there's also a zany glint in his eyes that makes him a comedy natural. They're brilliant movie actors and also movie stars in the old-fashioned sense. They bring fully-developed characters and instant empathy to their roles, even when the material is thin or not fully realized, as it is here.
In fact, it's amazing how slight "Jet Lag" is. The film really has only three characters, one of whom vanishes after the first 20 minutes. The bulk of the picture, after that clever opening in the de Gaulle, takes place in the cramped confines of the airport Hilton room. Thompson seems to want to emphasize claustrophobia and loneliness, but she's gone too far - which is another reason the movie's Mexican climax seems a bit phony.
Thompson is one of France's best screenwriters, both facile and ingenious, and her successful scripts range from the wacky "Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob" (1973) to the savage Dumas-derived romance "La Reine Margot" (1994) to France's all-time 1966 box-office hit "La Grande Vadrouille" (written for her father, comedian-director Gerard Oury). Her first film as writer-director, "La Buche" (2000), was a fine star actress' ensemble piece for Sabine Azema and Emmanuelle Beart, and she knows how to write for stars here, too. But "Jet Lag," 10 years in preparation and originally intended by Thompson as a Hollywood movie for a mixed American-French couple, seems to have had some of the shine rubbed off after all that time. Thompson eventually took the script and completed it with her real-life son, actor-writer Christopher Thompson, and though they nailed the first and second acts, they missed the third.
Luckily, their stars, Binoche and Reno, saved them and us by missing the plane.
