We're completely obsessed with Margo from L.A - Wicked, original songs, videos and overall style. She holds her own, doing her own thing and totally OWNS it. Very Sheila E/Prince meets Cindy Lauper back in the day.
Born in Toronto, now based between L.A/new York, she's got the sexy, disco diva looks, individuality, talent, rockstar style, and performance skills to really make it big. Will keep an eye on Margo for now. Talent can only take you so far - we do hope she has good management behind her. Watch below
Paris has now joined Beijing, Beirut, Buenos Aires, Doha, Dubai, Florence, Geneva, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Macao, Madrid, Moscow, New York, Portofino, Riyadh, Shanghai and Tokyo as a location of an Officine Panerai watch boutique.
The Parisian shop opened in September in the 1st arrondissement on Rue de la Paix's jewelery row, between Place Vendôme and Opéra Garnier.
The Italian company was founded in Florence in 1860 by Giovanni Panerai. It became the official supplier of the Italian Navy and continued to build various precision instruments for the army's diving corps. Panerai remained relatively unknown in the civilian world until its bulky watches were brought to popular attention by Sylvester Stallone who wore a Panerai Luminor watch during the shooting of the movie Daylight in Rome. Stallone then ordered and signed a special batch of the watches called Slytech. He gave them to his friends, including Arnold Schwarzenegger. Stallone has since worn many Panerais, including the largest Panerai wrist watch, the limited-edition Panerai Egiziano, with a face that is 60mm in diameter.
The interior of the 41 square-meter Parisian boutique echoes Panerai's naval traditions by emphasizing precision and quality, and featuring such materials as teak and steel. - Bill Tikos
THIS is what we will want in our office now! Pinball may be living a second life as a retro thing to do and own, but what we really want now is to be living (or working, playing) IN a pinball machine!
Our hopes for this were aroused by the super clever exhibit of Modular Lighting Instruments at Interieur 2010, the 22nd International Design Biennale that took place October 15 – 24 at Kortrijk Xpo venue in Kortrijk, Belgium .
In a colorful and fun human-scale pinball machine, completely lit by LED lights, Modular introduced its latest LED ceiling lights, Spock and O'Leaf, for the first time to the general public.
The playing field of the game was divided into the same sections as the Modular lighting catalogue: Orientation, Accent, General and Dynamic making it easy for the "players"-- potential specifiers and buyers of the new lights – to pay attention to the lights, and not just the fun surroundings. Apparently, this energy-efficient exhibit used 70 % less energy than the company's 2008 exhibit at the same event.
The Roeselade, Belgium-based Modular Lighting Instruments has showrooms across Europe and additional offices in the Netherlands and France.
Both of the new fixtures, Spock and O'Leaf, were designed by Bram Couvreur and Bjorn De Vos of Couvreur & Devos, also located in Roeselade. - Bill Tikos
We have all seen more than enough of the stacked-boxes genre of architecture. Boring, cold, uninviting, uninhabitable and so last decade.
Yet, once in a while, a set of images crosses our desks of a project that could potentially fall into the has-been category but doesn't, and instead makes us look again and ponder the beauty of great architecture.
This is the case with Casa Fez, a new house in Porto, Portugal, designed by architect Álvaro Leite Siza Vieira. The architect calls it "the work of my life" as it is a residence he created for himself. "This project and everything behind it was a huge challenge," he told TCH. "I needed a lot of willpower and courage -- even more than when I decided to become an architect. I try sew up objectives, interests and goals. I followed an ideal and I finally achieved my dream."
From some angles, we see glimpses of Tomorrowland, but we are willing to overlook that because from so many other viewpoints, the statuesque poise of the structure and the stark clarity of lines brings back memories of Alvar Aalto. One can almost imagine this house in the birch forests of Finland.
With this residence, Álvaro Leite Siza Vieira aimed to "achieve a new kind of romanticism" and he continued this artistic thought throughout.
The architect started planning his dream house in 2004 and the construction was finally finished earlier this year. He did absolutely everything himself – not just planning, coordinating and supervising the construction but also creating the interiors and the tiniest of details, including the doors and doorknobs, hand rails, furnishings, lighting, furniture and even some paintings. Mixed with the new pieces are historical and timeless pieces inherited from the family and perfect for this environment.
Architect Álvaro Leite Siza Vieira, who was born in 1962 in Porto, graduated from the Faculty of Architecture in Escola do Porto in 1994. He has an impressive pedigree that includes touches of Finland, which perhaps explains the Aalto-like feel of this house.
He is the son of one of the best-known Portuguese architects, Álvaro Siza Vieira, winner of the 1992 Pritzker Prize and the 1988 Alvar Aalto Medal, among many other accolades.
Father and son collaborated in the creation of their competition entry for the Museum of Contemporary Art, KIASMA, in Helsinki in 1992 (won by American architect Steven Holl.)
The son Álvaro Leite Siza Vieira is best known for his Casa Tolo in northern Portugal, a residence that cascades down a steep hill like a clunky staircase fit for a giant.
For this latest residence, his own dream-come-true, he has conjured up a tranquil sense of sculptural beauty.
The white structure, sitting on a non-descript site, draws you inside where magnificent, bold ceiling details assist in creating a sense of wonder and interest.
Natural light, wooden floors, unadorned windows all add up to a simplicity that resembles a gallery, museum or concert hall.Casa Fez does not pretend to be a cozy home, but is instead a statement residence that fits the owner's' lifestyle – and is perfect for him. - Tuija Seipell.

In Amsterdam's restaurant scene, the names of Bert van der Leden, Douwe Werkman and Rob Wagemans pop up constantly, and usually all together. Werkman and van der Leden wield their influence through IQ Creative, a restaurant and hospitality conglomerate that is best known for the Supperclubs around the world, but also operates Witteveen, Nomads, Vyne, Envy and Nevy in Amsterdam.
For interior, architectural and conceptual creative output, they turn most often to Concrete of Amsterdam, a 25-member company founded in 1997 by the 37-year-old Wagemans. Concrete is a kit of three companies: Concrete Architectural Associates (architecture, design concepts), Concrete Reinforced (urban design) and Models+Monsters (scale models).
The prolific gentlemen's latest cooperation is Mazzo. It is a cool reincarnation of a notorious disco in a strange and ugly building on Rozengracht. The building may be odd but not that unusual in Amsterdam. Its spaces of varying heights and widths could have posed a problem, but for Concrete, they offered an opportunity to create an inviting yet industrial-feeling atmosphere and a place that is flexible without seeming temporary.
Mismatched chairs, exposed brick walls, rough wooden shelving, sepia-toned images and GUBI and MOOOI lighting manage to give the mismatched spaces a cozy sense of an impromptu meeting place where moms could meet for lunch and moguls could convene for an important deal. - Bill Tikos
Matchstick Art of the Day: Pei-San Ng's "Passion" — 2,500 matches glued to a piece of reclaimed plywood.
Whatever you can think up, Cookieboy can bake it! In fact, Cookieboy can bake cookies of things you never thought of as being cookie potential. Such as feathers and bonsai trees and tents and eyeglasses. Or sheep with a necklace and Christmas wreaths. And shoes and socks and chairs and entire table settings. Cookieboy was born in 1984 in Kyoto and graduated from textile design course at Kyoto.
He's found his canvas in cookies and is now appearing with brands such as Issey Miyake and LaForet Harajuku shopping complex and museum in Tokyo. In addition to the fantastic one-of pieces, Cookieboy bakes party packages that include a set for Anniversary, Tiara, Wedding and Basic party. We are off to ordering TCH cookies! - Tuija Seipell
The new D'Espresso on Madison Avenue (at 42nd) in New York has received more media attention than is generally awarded to a tiny coffee shop in this world of millions of new coffee shops.
The reason for the attention is the fun design by the Manhattan-based nemaworkshop, a team of designers and architects that has created numerous cool retail and hospitality concepts. Founder Anurag Nema took the idea of a coffee shop that looks like a library – giving a nod to the nearby New York Public Library's Bryant park branch – and turned it on its side. The walls are not lined with books but the floors and ceiling are. Except that it is all an illusion, a life-size image of books printed on custom tiles. Pendant lighting does not hang from the ceiling; it sticks out from the walls.
The tiny coffee bar of 420 square feet (39 square meters) is the second for owner Eugene Kagansky (the first one is on the Lower East Side) who plans to create an entire empire of coffee shops. Apparently, the next one will be completely upside down. - Tuija Seipell
This six-floor, 15,500-square-foot warehouse built in 1915 in TriBeCa does not match everyone's idea of a perfect family home. Mixed Greens gallery owner Paige West, her husband and their three sons thought otherwise. They summoned their many-time design magician Ghislaine Viñas to create their most imaginative project yet while Peter Guthrie handled the renovation of the actual structure.
This is the kind of home where you imagine Willy Wonka to live, or some other out-there character who throws crazy dinner parties that are talked about months afterwards. West's family occupies the top four floors that are capped by a green roof. The lower two levels are taken up by a guest duplex that is not your typical guest house either. It includes, among other surprises, a two-storey climbing wall.
The old frame has been restored in a subdued style leaving a suitable background a lots of room for the wild interiors. Most of the time, one is not quite sure what one is looking at. It is a delightful, colorful and slightly mad mix of styles, colors, art and props, reminding us of a few hotels - including Hotel Fox in Copenhagen - where each room is decorated by a different artist.
A chandelier made of ping-pong balls, a self portrait by chocolate artist Vik Muniz and a pair of sheep sculptures grazing on a fuzzy green carpet are just some of the crazy details in this home, that according to the designer and owners, was also designed to be easy to care for and live in for a family with young kids. One thing is certain; the kids will not describe their home as ordinary or boring. - Tuija Seipell.

An interview with Shaun Simon reveals more about the KJ comic plot: www.unwinnable.com/2012/12/05/…
The world of the Killjoys is centered on Battery City, which is run by Better Living Industries (often referred to as BLI). "It's a very character driven book and it's telling the story of these three people in very different situations in this world. There's a character in the desert (outside of the city), there's a character who lives in a real shitty part of the city and there's a character that works for BLI," he says. "We go back and forth, telling their stories and struggles in this world. It's about how the society affects these three people in their situations."
I'm really glad to hear this. Hopefully it'll get people to think of BL/ind workers as people and not just faceless enemies to be slaughtered.
Also, Gerard posted an interesting track on Twitter: twitter.com/gerardway/statuses… I haven't listened, but according to fans it sounds suspiciously like his vocals. (Danny the Street is a DC character.)
More KJ comic info + New solo song? by MCRdeviantClubWatch
©2012-2016 MCRdeviantClub
It's definitely him singing, the art in the background is Bandit and Lindsey also posted it to here Twitter
It's Gerard. Heh.
Okay, that is DEFINITELY Gerard!
And the song is amazing! If he's going to start doing this as a side thing, I'm down!
And the song is amazing! If he's going to start doing this as a side thing, I'm down!
That's Gee's voice hands down.
That so is absolutly Gee.
Didn't Gerard say a week ago that he was going to Nashville to record something? Plus that picture next to the play button was tweeted by Lynz awhile ago. And it certainly is his voice in the song. MCR5 is supposed to be concept heavy again, so it looks like they're going to mess around with us just like they did with Danger Days.
In the song it says "Give me some information!" which Gerard tweeted a while back, I think it's safe to assume that this is MCR5.
I think those are definitely Gee's considering Lindsey also tweeted the same thing. I don't think it's a solo song though. I think it's quite possible that it's a demo for a new MCR song. They are currently working on MCR5 after all and last time I heard, Gerard said it was moving pretty fast and they were all really excited about it.
hell YES totally sounds like gee
That is totally Gerard.
It's great to know more about the comic - thanks
As far as I'm concerned, the vocals in that song like Gerard's to me. ._.

'Making the News:' the 2004 Athens Olympics and Competing Ideologies?
Barnard, Sarah, Butler, Katie, Golding, Peter, Maguire, Joseph, Olympika: The International Journal of Olympic Studies
This paper examines how the Olympics 'make the news' and how, in so doing, competing ideologies are framed and represented. Considered in the context of a discussion of broader questions concerning the Olympics and global sport, the paper details the findings of a content analysis that identifies and outlines the main themes of British news reporting of the Athens Olympics 2004 on television (BBC and ITV) and in the press (The Daily Telegraph, Guardian, Daily Mail, and the Sun). 1170 newspaper articles on Olympic-related news and 91 television news items were identified and coded as part of the content analysis. The main focus of news coverage was on medals, whether it be medal-winning performances, medal contenders/winners, or medal prospects. Such framing often fell within a nationalistic framework, and nearly two thirds of all news media coverage was on British athletes. Aspects of Olympism were referred to in a fifth of television news coverage and nearly a third of press coverage. In contrast, news coverage that refers to commercial interests was minimal; reference to corporate sponsors occurred in just 2.6 per cent (press) and 2.2 per cent (television) of all Olympic-related news stories. This study broadly demonstrates the dominance of national interests, the muted presence of Olympism, and the significant absence of reporting of commercial aspects in news media coverage of the Athens Olympics 2004. It also highlights how such news negotiates the 'competing' and overlapping ideologies underpinning the modern Olympic Games.
The Olympic Games are a global event, not merely of supreme significance in the world of sports, but as a carrier of cultural meanings that are almost uniquely available to vast international audiences. (1) This essay is part of a broader project that seeks to investigate the character of those values and ideas, and to demonstrate how such meanings are constructed, distributed, and received by audiences. Sports in the media in general, and the Olympics in particular, are embedded in local/global processes in three ways: the production of media sport goods, the political economy of sport mediated texts, and the political economic aspect of consumption.
In investigating these processes, the broader project is guided by a set of related assumptions about the media, and media-sport, derived from critical political economy and process sociology. (2) The project situates the study of the Olympic Games within broader local/global processes, with specific reference to media and consumption. (3) That is, the project examines how a global mega-event, such as the Olympics, plays out locally (UK) and does so through the lens of the media-sport complex. (4) Arguably, as others have noted the Olympics are located at the heart of two contradictions. (5) The first is a contradiction between the ideals of Olympism and the realities of the modern Olympics in practice. It has been suggested that:
The problem with Olympism is the Olympic Games. All things considered, the Olympic Games of the twentieth century are a paradox. The basic contradiction is that the games, in their contemporary incarnation, are the antithesis of the very ideals they ostensibly cherish. (6)
As the above suggests, questions clearly exist with regard to the legitimacy of Olympism as the raison d'etre of the Olympic Games. It is clear that the International Olympic Committee (IOC), whilst promoting the ideals of Olympism, has accommodated commercial pressures in order to ensure the success of the Games, and has therefore been seen to reinforce capitalist social relations and practices. (7) Indeed, the Celebrate Humanity campaign, developed by the IOC's marketing department, is best viewed as an attempt to enhance the brand rather than promote the values of Olympism per se. Whilst it has been argued that the 1984 Los Angeles Games epitomize the supremacy of commercial interests, even the first Games in 1896 were seen as a market place in order to make business connections and sell goods. …

Firefighters from several counties were busy with house fires Monday morning.
Dispatchers say crews from the Grimesland and Simpson Fire Departments responded to one fire at 6582 NC 33 East in Grimesland in Pitt County. The call came in around 1:15 AM.
There is no word on any injuries or how bad the fire was.
In Pamlico County an overloaded circuit is being blamed for a fire on G. Harper Lane in Arapahoe.
Assistant Fire Marshal Chris Murray says the fire started around 4:00 a.m.. It was quickly extinguished, and the fire was limited to just one bedroom. One person in the home was taken to the hospital, suffering from smoke inhalation.
Meanwhile, firefighters in Beaufort County were kept busy overnight battling a blaze on Whichard's Beach Road.
Authorities say the home was destroyed by the fire, but there were no injuries.

Vikings victorious in first playoff contest
By: Jennifer Gong, Press Tribune Correspondent
Oakmont to face Oak Ridge next
The upstart boys volleyball team from Oakmont High got is first-ever Sac-Joaquin Section playoff win Thursday night on its home court. The Vikings, the SFL South's No. 3 team, took care of Laguna Creek in a three-game sweep 25-21, 25-19, 25-22. Laguna Creek came out determined to get the win at the outset, let by setter Auston Bulda. Bulda's countless hustle plays had him all over the court. Middle hitter Taylor Barlow was also a major force at the net with great blocks and smart hits. Down 12-17, Oakmont was not giving up. The Viking's outside hitter, Nathaniel Grady, powered three straight kills and Tim Cook contributed to the comeback with a couple of clutch aces and soon the game was tied at 21-21. Grady continued his run with a block and two more kills to win the first game 25-21. In the second game, Laguna Creek came out motivated once again and Bulda went on a serving run to put the score at 5-1. Oakmont quickly bounced back with a couple of strong kills from Grady and middle hitter Dylan Baldwin. While Laguna Creek fought back with great back row play from Joshua Thas and libero Jaze Nuval, Viking libero Ruslan Levko and Ryan Siu held up the back row all night with their impressive digs and passes as Oakmont closed out game two. The third game was played mostly at the net. Barlow battled hard against Oakmont's middles, Baldwin and Trevor Bellinger as the Cardinals once again had the early advantage. Barlow controlled Grady's swing with his tough blocks and Laguna's outside hitter Shaheed Durham came up big with a few dominating kills. Siu and Levko kept the Vikings in the game with their resilient defense and with their help, Oakmont began to attack. Bellinger and Baldwin were huge in the middle, drilling down anything that came their way. Laguna had difficulty returning the Vikings' hits, and while Bulda's diving saves and Thas' clean passes kept the Cardinals in the game, it wasn't quite enough. With a couple more kills from Grady and Sui, the Vikings would take game three 25-22. Oakmont will travel to face Sierra Valley Conference champion Oak Ridge on Tuesday. The Trojans had a first-round bye.

Ezra outlines why this is a good deal in pretty convincing fashion.
Ezra outlines why this is a good deal in pretty convincing fashion.
"A typical person is more than five times as likely to die in an extinction event as in a car crash," says a new report.
Nuclear war. Climate change. Pandemics that kill tens of millions.
These are the most viable threats to globally organized civilization. They're the stuff of nightmares and blockbusters—but unlike sea monsters or zombie viruses, they're real, part of the calculus that political leaders consider everyday. And according to a new report from the U.K.-based Global Challenges Foundation, they're much more likely than we might think.
In its annual report on "global catastrophic risk," the nonprofit debuted a startling statistic: Across the span of their lives, the average American is more than five times likelier to die during a human-extinction event than in a car crash.
Partly that's because the average person will probably not die in an automobile accident. Every year, one in 9,395 people die in a crash; that translates to about a 0.01 percent chance per year. But that chance compounds over the course of a lifetime. At life-long scales, one in 120 Americans die in an accident.
It's a paradox: Shouldn't the most accomplished be well equipped to make choices that maximize life satisfaction?
There are three things, once one's basic needs are satisfied, that academic literature points to as the ingredients for happiness: having meaningful social relationships, being good at whatever it is one spends one's days doing, and having the freedom to make life decisions independently.
But research into happiness has also yielded something a little less obvious: Being better educated, richer, or more accomplished doesn't do much to predict whether someone will be happy. In fact, it might mean someone is less likely to be satisfied with life.
That second finding is the puzzle that Raj Raghunathan, a professor of marketing at The University of Texas at Austin's McCombs School of Business, tries to make sense of in his recent book, If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Happy? Raghunathan's writing does fall under the category of self-help (with all of the pep talks and progress worksheets that that entails), but his commitment to scientific research serves as ballast for the genre's more glib tendencies.
Nearly half of Americans would have trouble finding $400 to pay for an emergency. I'm one of them.
Since 2013, the Federal Reserve Board has conducted a survey to "monitor the financial and economic status of American consumers." Most of the data in the latest survey, frankly, are less than earth-shattering: 49 percent of part-time workers would prefer to work more hours at their current wage; 29 percent of Americans expect to earn a higher income in the coming year; 43 percent of homeowners who have owned their home for at least a year believe its value has increased. But the answer to one question was astonishing. The Fed asked respondents how they would pay for a $400 emergency. The answer: 47 percent of respondents said that either they would cover the expense by borrowing or selling something, or they would not be able to come up with the $400 at all. Four hundred dollars! Who knew?
A professor of cognitive science argues that the world is nothing like the one we experience through our senses.
As we go about our daily lives, we tend to assume that our perceptions—sights, sounds, textures, tastes—are an accurate portrayal of the real world. Sure, when we stop and think about it—or when we find ourselves fooled by a perceptual illusion—we realize with a jolt that what we perceive is never the world directly, but rather our brain's best guess at what that world is like, a kind of internal simulation of an external reality. Still, we bank on the fact that our simulation is a reasonably decent one. If it wasn't, wouldn't evolution have weeded us out by now? The true reality might be forever beyond our reach, but surely our senses give us at least an inkling of what it's really like.
A financial check-in with the Gilded Age's richest families, several generations later
According to Time magazine, 90 percent of all rich families, from the Astors to the Ziffs, lose their fortunes by the third generation. This is remarkable, considering how comparatively easy it is to retain wealth once you have it. A recent analysis suggested that Donald Trump, for example, could be similarly wealthy if he had done nothing but put his eight-figure inheritance into the stock market: "If he'd invested the $200 million that Forbes magazine determined he was worth in 1982 into that index fund, it would have grown to more than $8 billion today."
Conversely, climbing several rungs on the income ladder takes ingenuity, grit, resilience, opportunity, and a heaping tablespoon of luck. Currently, poor children have only a 7.5 percent chance of making it even to the top 20th percentile as adults. Making money is hard; holding onto money when you're born with it shouldn't be.
In Trump's aftermath, his enemies on the right will have to take stock and propose a meaningful alternative vision for the GOP's future.
Donald Trump's big victories in the Mid-Atlantic primaries don't represent quite the end of the ballgame—but they come damn close.
And now Donald Trump's many and fierce opponents in the Republican Party and the conservative movement face the hour of decision. Trump looks ever more certain to be the party nominee. Yet not perhaps since George McGovern in 1972 has a presumptive nominee so signally failed to carry the most committed members of his party with him.
So what happens now to those who regard themselves as party thought-leaders? Do they submit? Or do they continue to resist?
Resistance now means something more—and more dangerous—than tapping out #NeverTrump on Twitter. It means working to defeat Trump even knowing that the almost certain beneficiary will be Hillary Clinton.
By speaking to the discontents of neglected groups of voters, the two men—who share little else in common—have both found political success.
The most important message from this year's tumultuous presidential primaries may be that millions of voters in both parties have grown sufficiently disenchanted with conventional political options to vote for candidates who not long ago would have been considered beyond the pale of viable choices.
20 or even 10 years ago, both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders might have struggled to advance beyond the margins of their parties. Yet after this week's five primaries, Trump has drawn just over 10 million votes and Sanders 9.3 million. Both have built followings that are not only large but also more impassioned than those attracted by their more traditional rivals, from Ted Cruz to Hillary Clinton.
When people see themselves as self-made, they tend to be less generous and public-spirited.
I'm a lucky man. Perhaps the most extreme example of my considerable good fortune occurred one chilly Ithaca morning in November 2007, while I was playing tennis with my longtime friend and collaborator, the Cornell psychologist Tom Gilovich. He later told me that early in the second set, I complained of feeling nauseated. The next thing he knew, I was lying motionless on the court.
He yelled for someone to call 911, and then started pounding on my chest—something he'd seen many times in movies but had never been trained to do. He got a cough out of me, but seconds later I was again motionless with no pulse. Very shortly, an ambulance showed up.
Ithaca's ambulances are dispatched from the other side of town, more than five miles away. How did this one arrive so quickly? By happenstance, just before I collapsed, ambulances had been dispatched to two separate auto accidents close to the tennis center. Since one of them involved no serious injuries, an ambulance was able to peel off and travel just a few hundred yards to me. EMTs put electric paddles on my chest and rushed me to our local hospital. There, I was loaded onto a helicopter and flown to a larger hospital in Pennsylvania, where I was placed on ice overnight.
The U.S. president talks through his hardest decisions about America's role in the world.
Friday, August 30, 2013, the day the feckless Barack Obama brought to a premature end America's reign as the world's sole indispensable superpower—or, alternatively, the day the sagacious Barack Obama peered into the Middle Eastern abyss and stepped back from the consuming void—began with a thundering speech given on Obama's behalf by his secretary of state, John Kerry, in Washington, D.C. The subject of Kerry's uncharacteristically Churchillian remarks, delivered in the Treaty Room at the State Department, was the gassing of civilians by the president of Syria, Bashar al-Assad.
That's not a harsh assessment. It's just a fair description.
Millennial politics is simple, really. Young people support big government, unless it costs any more money. They're for smaller government, unless budget cuts scratch a program they've heard of. They'd like Washington to fix everything, just so long as it doesn't run anything.
That's all from a new Reason Foundation poll surveying 2,000 young adults between the ages of 18 and 29. Millennials' political views are, at best, in a stage of constant metamorphosis and, at worst, "totally incoherent," as Dylan Matthews puts it.
It's not just the Reason Foundation. In March, Pew came out with a similar survey of Millennial attitudes that offered another smorgasbord of paradoxes:
From a moral standpoint, it makes the world worse.
A rock monster tries to save a village from destruction.
Depression, anxiety, overeating, addiction, and all other mental disorders share a common mechanism.

School's Out for Apple
(AAPL - Get Report) no longer wants to sell you its discount desktop system. The company has ceased selling the $900 version of its iMac computer to individual customers just one week afterSorry, students and teachers: Apple Computer
the new system.
Apple spokeswoman Teresa Weaver declined to explain why the company decided to stop selling the cut-rate computer to individual students and teachers -- and declined even to acknowledge that the company had changed its policy. However, Apple clearly advertised the $900 iMac in its store for individual education customers last week when it announced the new machine. Now that the $900 computer is no longer available, students and teachers will have to spend at least $300 more to get an iMac, Apple's all-in-one consumer desktop machine. AppleInsider reported Apple's move earlier on Wednesday. Apple sales representatives told the trade publication that the company had originally wanted to limit sales of the discount iMac to institutions only, and that opening up sales to individual customers was a "mistake." In its announcement last week, Apple didn't specify whether the computer would be available to individuals or institutions, saying only that the company was offering the computer to "education customers." Indeed, a Web address in the
points to
a page
where customers can log in as either individual or institutional customers.
The $900 computer replaced Apple's eMac, which was based on an earlier version of the iMac. Unlike its present policy with the discount iMac, Apple did offer the eMac to individual customers.
The education market has long been a stronghold for Apple. The company garnered about 12% of its sales last year from education customers.
Shares of Apple closed regular trading off $2.69, or 4.9%, to $52.96. In after-hours trading, the stock was off another 18 cents, or less than 1%, to $52.78.

there is a Spanish restaurant now.
I'm so glad I found Epif!
It's the best veg place in Valparaiso/Viña area.
Located in hip Cerro Alegre, Valparaiso (it may be quite hard to find, but it's worth it, ask directions)
Delicious, tasty food.
I recommend the vegan burger and tacos.
You can stay or take out.
My partner and I were so glad to find Epif - after trying a few not-so-great vegetarian restaurants around Valpairso, we were so glad to find this place. They lay out their menu and star what is vegan, which was very helpful for us, and meals without cheese actually cost less than with! It was wonderful finding a restaurant that not only knew what vegan was, but had many dishes we could eat. The waitresses were very knowledgeable about their wine, and they have many organic wines in their list. The food was delicious, I especially recommend the peanut sauce and charred vegetables dish. We ended up going every day over three days, we couldn't get enough! Their cocktails taste wonderful as well.
This place has got it all. Efficient and friendly service, chill atmosphere, organic wines, delicious food. We had the burrito (yummy and spicey) and the peanut sauce dish with tofu and veggies. The chocolate brownie dessert was good, not amazing. Would return again and again.

Matthew is his 6-month cardiology appt. after seeing two small holes in his heart on an echo when he was born. Just 1 was mentioned today and the Dr. thinks it's a PFO that should close up on its own. We'll go back in 6 months when Matthew turns 1 year. To anyone who had holes clear up on their own, how long does this usually take? Did you go ahead with closing it up if the hole remained? There's always something new to be researching, sigh. Thanks!
PFO in heart?

Phoenix had a PFO that closed on it's own. It was seen at 6 months and we just went back at 2.5 years and there was not sign of it.
Levi had a very small PFO. It was still there at his 9 month checkup. The doc said he felt that if it hadn't closed on it's own by then, it likely never would. It's never caused any problems for Levi, so as long as it doesn't grow bigger when he does, then it shouldn't be an issue. He's to go back for another checkup when he turns 3. The doc did say about 20% of the population has a PFO, but most never know until/unless they have an unrelated issue with their heart.
This does prevent us from getting life insurance for Levi. That's the only downside that I can tell...

Starfleet Training Command
Revision as of 19:01, October 24, 2012 by Renegade54 (Talk | contribs)
40,406pages on
this wiki
this wiki
Starfleet Training Command (or STC) was an operating authority of Starfleet education of Starfleet Academy cadets.
In 2154, Commander Charles Tucker remembered that he kept getting himself into trouble at STC. (ENT: "Observer Effect")
In 2285, Starfleet Training Command was responsible for the Academy's Enterprise-class Mark IV simulator which tested cadets with the Kobayashi Maru scenario. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)
In "Observer Effect", Commander Tucker makes reference to "STC" and at no time does he use the words "Starfleet Training Command". On the contrary, the final draft of that episode's script refers to that usage of the initials "S.T.C." as meaning "Starfleet Training Center".

You guys have terrible memories…we already
where it is, sort of: Europe. We also know that one of its cities will be based on Paris due to the fact that the Eiffel Tower was in the trailer's gameplay video. And, since the 'Codename: X/Y' Region is in
, it can't be anywhere
any of the other regions: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh are in Japan, while Unova is based on New York City, which is in the United States.

I want a good mix, maybe one really really challenging one that will frustrate people and the others could be challenging in a time consuming way or etc.
What would be really cool is if GameFreak were to line up a bunch of holes between multiple floors such that falling through all of them (
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
-style, like in the Tower of Hera where there are fairies at the bottom) would lead us to a secret area.

Point Loma UC San Diego on Thursday launched the Center for Brain Activity Mapping, or CBAM, which is meant to be a focal point of President Barack Obama's potentially transformative BRAIN Initiative.
Obama announced in April that he would set aside $100 million in federal seed money for the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative, which is expected to become a long-term, multibillion-dollar effort to develop tools for scientists to simultaneously study upward of 1 million brain cells. Currently, scientists can see only a few hundred neurons at a time, which makes it hard for them to figure out how brains work when they're healthy and what happens when things such as dementia arise.
The project — a partnership among government, industry and academia — grew out of a white paper written by a handful of renowned scientists. It includes UC San Diego neuroscientist Ralph Greenspan, who will serve as the director of CBAM. Greenspan already serves as co-director of the Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind at the university.
The University of California San Diego will seek help from various research institutes along North Torrey Pines Road in La Jolla, which has one of the world's largest concentrations of neuroscientists. In particular, the university intends to work closely with the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, which is deeply involved in the Kavli Institute.

Oh Honest Trailers, sometimes you're so honest it hurts. And in the case of "Game of Thrones," you definitely hit the direwolf on the head.
The above, spoiler-filled trailer for the first three seasons of the HBO fantasy series is hilarious, down to noting that the series is "the abusive show you keep watching no matter times it hurts you." Cut to Joffrey forcing Sansa to stare at the severed head of her dead father. Point made, Honest Trailers.
"Game of Thrones" Season 4 premieres with all its dragons and bewbs on April 6 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.

Jim Dingilian Creates Detailed Scenes Inside Recycled Bottles with Only Candle Smoke
Posted By Lori Zimmer On March 11, 2012 @ 2:10 am In Art,carousel showcase,Design,Gallery,Innovation,Recycled Materials | No Comments
Jim Dingilian's incredible bottle art is much more complex than the traditional building of ships inside of bottles. The detailed scenes trapped inside recycled glass bottles are made with just candle smoke. The artist burns the inside, then carefully etches away the residue, revealing imagery of trees, cars, and industrial landscapes within the confines of each bottle.
To create the scenes, Dingilian collects empty liquor bottles [1] of varying size, shape and color. He finds the bottles just about anywhere, by the side of the road, in trash cans, or littered in parking lots. Dingilian sees each discarded bottle as an "artifact of consumption, delight, or dread," a theme which also carries into his imagery. Detailed tableaus of these places can be found in his pieces. He often shows scenes of overgrown yards, burned out cars under bridges, or other places of desolation on the fringes of suburbia, that can be associated with the bottles' past lives.
The make the dark renderings, the artist lights a candle, and lets the flame burn the inside of the bottle, coating it with a layer of smokey soot [2]. The scenes are then slowing etched away by using the subtractive process of removing black to reveal white [3](or clear glass). With an unbelievably steady hand, Dingilian slowly brushes the soot away with a tiny paint brush attached to a dowel rod, that he suspends into the center of the bottle. By using different pressure, and incredible wrist control, the soft layers are pulled away, leaving the dark ash as the "positive" of the scenes inside.
Dingilian's bottles are like artistic hourglasses, capturing a moment in time within their confines. His work can be seen in galleries across the Unites States, as well as the Museum of Art and Design in New York [4].

text: I think you're doing something wrong there....43500 html files is kind of an overkill. The purpose of ebooks is to have digital publications not html portations of php sites. Either way there are 2 scenarios for ebooks: reflowable content (case in which you could have your content split into far less files) or fixed layout (case which I find kinda unrealistic since fixed layout usually is a digital copy of a book/publication and no way would a book have than many pages). My guess is that you are trying to port a site to an ebook format, generating a html page for each entry in the database. If this is the case I would suggest that you would switch from ur static htmlpages engine to a more suited Javascript based one in which you would import the info you need when you need it (even if is static/embedded).

Dunkin' Brands Expands Roles Of U.S. Brand Presidents Paul Twohig And Bill Mitchell To Include International Regions
CANTON, Mass., Oct. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: DNKN), the parent company of Dunkin' Donuts (DD) and Baskin-Robbins (BR), today announced that it is expanding the roles of Paul Twohig, President, Dunkin' Donuts U.S. and Canada, and Bill Mitchell, President, Baskin-Robbins U.S. and Canada, to include international regions as the company seeks to accelerate the growth of both brands worldwide. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120516/NE07970LOGO)In addition to his current position, Mr. Twohig, 60, will assume responsibility for the Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins brands in Europe and Latin America. He will also oversee global development for both brands. Mr. Mitchell, 48, will add the oversight of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins in Korea, Japan and China to his portfolio of responsibilities. Responsibility for the company's brands in the Middle East and Southeast Asia will remain with Vice President John Varughese, 48, who will also begin to oversee both brands in India. Mr. Twohig, Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Varughese will report directly to Dunkin' Brands Chairman & CEO Nigel Travis. As a result of these changes, Giorgio Minardi, President, Dunkin' Brands International, will be leaving the company. Mr. Twohig joined Dunkin' Brands in 2009 with an extensive background in retail and food service operations. Prior to Dunkin' Brands, he held leadership positions with Burger King, served as COO for Panera Bread Company, and most recently was Division Senior Vice President for Starbucks where he helped lead that company's domestic and international growth. During Mr. Twohig's tenure with Dunkin' Brands, Dunkin' Donuts U.S. has had strong sales momentum and has added 1,133 net new restaurant locations. A seasoned restaurant executive, Mr. Mitchell came to Dunkin' Brands in 2010 from Papa John's where he had held the position of President, Global Operations, with responsibility for the development and operations of the company's restaurants in 29 countries. Earlier in his career he was with AFC Enterprises (Popeye's) and with PepsiCo on the KFC management team. During Mr. Mitchell's tenure with Baskin-Robbins, the U.S. segment of the ice cream specialty chain has undergone a transformation with improved year-over-year sales and increased store development. "I am excited about the enormous opportunity that exists internationally for Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins, and believe we can almost double our current number of restaurants outside the U.S. to 15,000 locations," said Dunkin' Brands Chairman & CEO Nigel Travis. "By broadening the roles of Paul Twohig and Bill Mitchell, two seasoned and successful executives, we plan to apply the processes and disciplines we have used successfully in the U.S. to our international operations. Both Paul and Bill are proven operators with global experience, and their appointments should enable us to better leverage our resources on a global basis, better support our franchisees, and accelerate the profitable growth of our brands around the world. "I would like to congratulate Paul, Bill and John on their expanded roles and to thank Giorgio for his many contributions to the company," concluded Travis. "Giorgio led the first step of our international reorganization, has put important business processes into place and has strengthened our international franchise relationships. We wish him well in his future endeavors."

This is incredibly rude of me, I know, but could you please do the Mystery Shack with all three of its underground floors? That would be so rad!
You have the floor plan to the Griffin house from Family Guy? I love your eye for detail btw
The suggestion of the who'said the boss home is a great one. I would love to see that too, particularly the wonderful wonderful way you do it. Tbut please do my suggestion as well, the ski lodge and the lake house from Frasier episodes in season 6, the episode called ski lodge and the episode called Decoys.
Always been a huge fan of your work!! Is your list of projects still ridiculously long? I realize these beautiful creations are very time consuming, but I'd like to throw a few more suggestions out there. Some of the previous suggestions sound great too, but here's some of mine; Who's the Boss (with Mona's above-garage apartment), Kate and Allie's duplex, Grace Under Fire, Reba, any of the houses on Wisteria Lane (Desperate Housewives), Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Murphy Brown, Full House (there are some floor plans out there, but they don't come close to yours!) ... Okay now I realize I'm getting carried away, lol, sorry!
I so wish I had your talent!! Keep up the good work!!
These are great. Could you do the floor plan of the Foreman's house from 'That 70's Show'? Basement, ground and 1st floor, and exterior with driveway to road. Then the Pinciotti exterior in relation to the Foreman's house.
I can't visualise them.
