Mikhail Kalashnikov started out wanting to make farm equipment, but the harvest he reaped was one of blood as the designer of the AK-47 assault rifle, the world's most popular firearm.
It was the carnage of World War II, when Nazi Germany overran much of the Soviet Union, which altered his course and made his name as well-known for bloodshed as Smith, Wesson and Colt. The distinctive shape of the gun, often called "a Kalashnikov", appeared on revolutionary flags and adorns memorabilia.
Kalashnikov died on Monday (local time) at age 94 in a hospital in Izhevsk, the capital of the Udmurtia republic where he lived, said Viktor Chulkov, a spokesman for the republic's president. He did not give a cause of death. Kalashnikov had been in hospital for the past month with unspecified health problems.
Kalashnikov often said he felt personally untroubled by his contribution to bloodshed.
"I sleep well. It's the politicians who are to blame for failing to come to an agreement and resorting to violence," he told The Associated Press in 2007.
The AK-47 - "Avtomat Kalashnikov" and the year it went into production - is the world's most popular firearm, favoured by guerrillas, terrorists and the soldiers of many armies. An estimated 100 million guns are spread worldwide.
Though it isn't especially accurate, its ruggedness and simplicity are exemplary: it performs in sandy or wet conditions which jam more sophisticated weapons such as the US M-16.
"During the Vietnam war, American soldiers would throw away their M-16s to grab AK-47s and bullets for it from dead Vietnamese soldiers," Kalashnikov said in July 2007 at a ceremony marking the rifle's 60th anniversary.
The weapon's suitability for jungle and desert fighting made it nearly ideal for the Third World insurgents backed by the Soviet Union, and Moscow not only distributed the AK-47 widely but also licensed its production in some 30 other countries.
The gun's status among revolutionaries and national-liberation struggles is enshrined on the flag of Mozambique.
Kalashnikov, born into a peasant family in Siberia, began his working life as a railroad clerk. After he joined the Red Army in 1938, he began to show mechanical flair by inventing several modifications for Soviet tanks.
The moment that firmly set his course was in the 1941 battle of Bryansk against Nazi forces, when a shell hit his tank. Recovering from wounds in the hospital, Kalashnikov brooded about the superior automatic rifles he'd seen the Nazis deploy; his rough ideas and revisions bore fruit five years later.
"Blame the Nazi Germans for making me become a gun designer," said Kalashnikov. "I always wanted to construct agricultural machinery."
In 2007, President Vladimir Putin praised him, saying "the Kalashnikov rifle is a symbol of the creative genius of our people".
Over his career, he was decorated with numerous honours, including the Hero of Socialist Labor and Order of Lenin and Stalin Prize. But because his invention was never patented, he didn't get rich off royalties.
"At that time in our country patenting inventions wasn't an issue. We worked for Socialist society, for the good of the people, which I never regret," he once said.
Kalashnikov continued working into his late 80s as chief designer of the Izmash company that first built the AK-47. He also travelled the world helping Russia negotiate new arms deals, and he wrote books on his life, about arms and about youth education.
"After the collapse of the great and mighty Soviet Union so much crap has been imposed on us, especially on the younger generation," he said. "I wrote six books to help them find their way in life."
He said he was proud of his bronze bust installed in his native village of Kurya in the Siberian region of Altai. He said newlyweds bring flowers to the bust. "They whisper 'Uncle Misha, wish us happiness and healthy kids'," he said. "What other gun designer can boast of that?"

Iraq announces new energy auction after lackluster sale
After conclusion of fourth round, Iraq's oil minister Abdelkarim al-Luaybi says that fifth energy auction is taking place.
Middle East Online
By W.G. Dunlop and Salam Faraj – BAGHDAD
'More than 60 blocks that are ready to be presented'
Iraq on Thursday announced it will hold a fifth energy auction after a landmark sale of energy exploration blocks closed with just three out of a potential 12 awarded.
The two-day sale, the first to invite international oil companies to explore Iraqi territory for energy deposits since the 2003 US-led invasion, concluded with eight blocks receiving no bids whatsoever, including two that were offered to foreign firms twice.
The bid round, the fourth public auction of Iraqi energy contracts since mid-2009, came amid progress in ramping up oil exports, which account for the vast majority of government income, and as Baghdad eyes higher gas production to increase woefully inadequate power supplies.
But whereas previous auctions offered contracts to foreign energy firms to raise output at existing oil and gas fields, Iraq this time showcased areas earmarked for exploration.
After the conclusion of the fourth round, Iraq's oil minister said that a fifth energy auction was in the works.
"We are preparing for a fifth round because we have more than 60 blocks that are ready to be presented," Abdelkarim al-Luaybi told reporters.
Another top oil ministry official meanwhile insisted that the auction had met expectations.
"This is a success because 25 percent is a good result," said Abdel Mehdi al-Amidi, head of the oil ministry's petroleum contracting and licensing department, referring to the three out of 12 success rate.
"With the three contracts today, there are 18 contracts ongoing across the country -- this is a huge task for the country."
Analysts, however, disagreed with his assessment.
"It's very disappointing (for Iraq) because ... the priority was to award the gas blocks, because they need the gas urgently for power generation, for industries and so on," said Ruba Husari, editor of www.iraqoilforum.com.
"The lesson to draw from this is that the model that was offered is not suitable for exploration for gas."
Thursday opened with a winning bid from Pakistan Petroleum for a 6,000 square kilometre (2,316 square mile) exploration block which is thought to contain gas covering Diyala and Wasit provinces in central Iraq, with the company agreeing to $5.38 per barrel of oil-equivalent eventually extracted.
And shortly afterwards, a partnership between Russian energy giant Lukoil and Japan's Inpex won a contract for a 5,500 square kilometre (2,123 square mile) plot in Muthanna and Dhi Qar provinces in the south, believed to hold oil, with an offer of $5.99 per barrel of oil.
But six other blocks -- including two that were initially offered a day earlier but received no bids -- garnered no interest from foreign energy firms.
Of the three oil and three gas blocks offered on Wednesday, meanwhile, just two received bids, and only one -- Block 9, an area near Iraq's border with Iran that is thought to contain oil -- was accepted by Baghdad.
A consortium led by Kuwait Energy that also includes Turkey's TPAO and Dubai-based Dragon Oil won the 900 square kilometre (347 square mile) block in the southern province of Basra, for a service fee of $6.24 per barrel of oil.
Another exploration block in south Iraq thought to contain oil received a single bid, but it exceeded the amount the oil ministry was willing to pay and so was not awarded.
As in previous auctions, Iraq required firms that agree to explore blocks to work under fixed-price service contracts, rather than the production-sharing agreements that are common elsewhere and more popular with major energy firms.
Baghdad also for the first time demanded that firms that won contracts agree not to sign deals with the autonomous Kurdish region in northern Iraq, or any other sub-national authority, without the central government's approval.
Kurdistan has signed dozens of contracts with foreign energy firms, but Baghdad regards them as illegal because they were not approved by the federal oil ministry.
Iraq is looking to ramp up its exports from its current level of around 2.5 million barrels per day.
The country has proven reserves of 143.1 billion barrels of oil and 3.2 trillion cubic metres (111.9 trillion cubic feet) of gas, both of which are among the highest such deposits in the world.

About Algeria
Algeria is the second largest country in Africa. Four-fifths of its territory is covered by the Sahara Desert. Its inhabitants are concentrated in oases surrounded by desert. The Algerian government is a parliamentary republic, and the official language is Arabic. Algeria is the sixth largest gas exporter and ranks 16th in oil reserves. Since 1991 Algerian politics have been dominated by violence between the military and Islamic militants. In January 2013, militants seized dozens of hostages from an Algerian oil field. Algerian forces launched a raid that led to the release of some hostages and the death of others.

Leighton Meester Is Anxious Bride in New 'Gossip Girl' Photo
Leighton Meester has been spotted slipping into a wedding gown to film "Gossip Girl" scene, but it's not like a wedding which some fans may have imagined for her character, Blair. Instead of looking happy, Queen B seems to be worried while she appears to be fleeing from a building where her nuptials takes place.
In other pictures obtained by INF Daily, Blair is seen running into the NYC street and hopping her wedding car without her groom, Louis. She dons a white strapless dress, which is not like the one belonging to her future mother-in-law, Princess Sophie Grimaldi, which she wore in the fifth season premiere.
While it's not clear what may cause Blair's anxiety, another spoilery detail of the upcoming 100th episode which features the royal wedding has been revealed. According to executive producer Josh Safran, Blake Lively's Serena will serve as Blair's maid of honor.
The said outing that will air in early 2012 additionally marks the return of Michelle Trachtenberg's Georgina, who might not be invited to the wedding. In other on-set photos, she is seen angrily throwing a newspaper which features a headline of Blair's royal wedding on the cover page.

RIBA Competitions recently announced their two-stage design ideas competition for the Great Fen Visitor Centre in Cambridgeshire. Great Fen is an internationally acclaimed vision, one of sweeping scale and ambition. Over the next 50-100 years, more than 3,000ha of largely arable land will be transformed into a mosaic of habitat: open water, lakes, ponds and ditches; reedbed; fen, bog and marsh; wet grassland; dry grassland; woodland and scrub. The competition seeks to to create around and between a restored fenland landscape which provides a living landscape for wildlife and people. Registrations will close on December 19. The deadline for Stage 1 design submissions is 2pm on January 10. To register, and for more information, please visit here.
RIBA Design Ideas Competition: Great Fen Visitor Centre
Fumihiko Maki to design Cultural Center and University in London
Japanese modernist Fumihiko Maki has been chosen to design a cultural and university complex on a 67-acre Kings Cross development in London. As reported by the Evening Standard, the 84-year-old, Pritzker Prize-winning architect will design two buildings for the Aga Khan Development Network – an organization who leads the world's 15 million Ismaili Muslims.
The two projects are among five, totaling a half million square feet, that are being commissioned by the Network at Kings Cross. It is unsaid of who will design the other three buildings. However, preliminary designs studies are under way and formal appointments will be announced shortly.
BE OPEN Sound Portal / Arup
Located in Trafalgar Square in London, the BE OPEN Sound Portal focuses on an experience that would be all about the sound. Designed by Arup, they thought it would be great if people could really concentrate on sound in Trafalgar Square, which would take people away form hustle and bustle into a space where they can concentrate and immerse themselves in sound. The original idea was that they would be able to take people away from London to another place, to hear the sound of a melting glacier or an acoustic model of the big bang. The plan is effectively two concentric circles: the inner circle for the sound and the outer circle forms the entrances. Both pieces mask the background noise. They are shells to shield the noise. More images and architects' description after the break.

BLOOM - A Crowd Sourced Garden / Alisa Andrasek and Jose Sanchez
Commissioned by the Greater London Authority as part of the Wonder series to celebrate the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, BLOOM, designed and developed by Alisa Andrasek and Jose Sanchez from The Bartlett School of Architecture at UCL, is a crowd sourced garden. Designed in neon pink, which is the official Olympics color, BLOOM is conceptualised as an urban toy, a distributed social game and collective "gardening" experience that seeks the engagement of people in order to construct fuzzy BLOOM formations.

Olympic Park replica made from LEGOs
With a quarter million LEGO bricks and 300 hours of finger intensive labor, Warren Elsmore and his wife constructed a mini replica of the 2012 Olympic Park in London. As Gizmodo reports, the model weighs about 80kg and would cost around $300,000 to build for scratch!
The miniature world is complete with Anish Kapoor's Orbit, Zaha Hadid's Aquatics Centre, Wilkinson Eyre Architects' Basketball Arena, Hopkins Architects' Velodrome, and Populous' Olympic Stadium.

Aqua at Dover Street Market / Zaha Hadid Architects
Dover Street Market has commissioned Zaha Hadid to design this site-specific installation to showcase in their London store during the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The concept behind "Aqua" references the formal language of Hadid's London Aquatics Centre.
Zaha Hadid: "Designing for Dover Street Market is an exciting opportunity to install a piece inspired by the fluid geometries of the London Aquatics Centre: a wave of liquid, frozen in time, right in the heart of London."

The Cube, a nomadic, stateless and cosmopolitan piece of architecture designed by Park Associati, is a pavilion designed to host a small, temporary restaurant. Originating from Electrolux's concept of an itinerant restaurant, The Cube has been conceived and organized by the Belgian event agency Absolute Blue with the logo and texture design by Studio FM Milano. Their architectural project has been conceived as a module that can be assembled and disassembled relatively easily. The structure, which will be on exhibit in London until September 30, is suitable for all climatic conditions, even the most extreme, while always providing the maximum in living comfort with its refined aesthetics and use of high-quality materials.

Richard Mason, Long Island School Bus Aide, Pleads Not Guilty to Breaking Boy's Arm
Richard Mason, a school bus aide in Long Island, New York, is accused of assaulting a five-year-old autistic boy.
Mason, 39, grabbed Connor Shirangi's arm and twisted it behind his back, which broke the arm, police said.
"Connor was swinging his feet and kicking the seat of the bus and Mr. Mason apparently got upset and handled him the way you wouldn't handle anybody," the boy's mother, Desiree Johnston-Shirangi, told CBS. "From what the doctors are saying, he used excessive force on my child."
Connor also sustained bruises to his face and stomach.
Mason's family defended him at the courthouse where he pleaded not guilty on Thursday.
"He's very gentle, he's kind, he loves kids," Mason's sister, Anita Harris, said.
Mason has been suspended.

South Pacific
The Aurora Australis has abandoned its first attempt to cut through the ice surrounding the stranded Akademik Shokalskiy after moving just two nautical miles.
Around 6am the Aurora's captain Murray Doyle began to manoeuvre the icebreaker through thick wedges of consolidated sea ice.
But by 9am, the master made the call to turn the ship around and move back into open water.
"The ice became too thick for us to penetrate. Some of the floes are up to two metres of ice with a metre of snow on top and very compact."
"There was just nowhere for us to go," he said.
Captain Doyle also feared the 30 knot south-easterly wind running up the ship's stern would blow ice in and around the back of the vessel.
"It was pushing those same types of floes in behind us," he said.
"If we got into that compact stuff it would have sealed us in, we would have lost our manoeuvreability and we wouldn't have been much use to anybody."
"Having been caught in ice before I know by experience when to get out. I didn't want to add to the drama instead of being part of the solution," he said.
A low hanging fog also hampered rescue efforts.
"We had no visibility so we couldn't really see if there was a way through," he said.
Captain Doyle had informed the Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Canberra of the situation.
The Aurora was the third icebreaker to attempt to reach the stranded boat which is carrying more than 70 scientists, explorers and tourists.
The ship's passengers, from Australia and New Zealand, have been stuck on the ship since Christmas Eve. The ship had been undertaking the Spirit of Mawson voyage, which is retracing Sir Douglas Mawson's Antarctic expedition.
Professor Chris Turney of the University of NSW is leading the expedition, consisting of scientists, explorers and enthusiasts undertaking climate research.
He has continued to post updates about the failed rescue attempts on social media sites, saying the weather was poor but he remains hopeful since ice appears to be breaking up near the trapped ship.
''Cracks are developing around the bow. Hope this helps,'' he wrote on Twitter.
''High winds this am; sorry for limited comms. Set up tent on top deck. All well. ... Waiting game!'
'The Aurora is the last ship in the area that will be able to help. If it can't battle through the ice in another attempt, authorities will look at ferrying the trapped passengers to safety by helicopter.
The stranded Shokalskiy's passengers would likely be evacuated to either the Aurora or the Chinese icebreaker, the Xue Long, which was also in the area.
''It's now up to us three ships [the Shokalskiy, the Aurora and the Xue Long] to agree on a [rescue] strategy," Captain Doyle said.
While the Xue Long had a helicopter onboard, it was too heavy for the Aurora's helideck.
"We also can't use the helicopter at the moment because there is no visibility," he said.
"The helicopter wouldn't be able to differentiate the horizon from the ice," he said.
Captain Doyle had informed Shiokalskiy by email and radio of the current situation.
"They're OK at the moment, they've got no problems," he said.
The captain planned to wait until the weather cleared before deciding whether to cut another path through the ice.
The icebreak was designed to cut through ice floes of about 1.35 metres, not the thick ice, some of which had grown over several years, that had built up in Watt Bay.
"It wasn't all multi-year ice, there was some first year ice, which can be thick especially if it's old first year ice," he said.
The Xue Long, which has been waiting near the Mertz Glacier since Boxing Day, was also making its way back to open water.
"They're trying to make it back into open water so they're not trapped as well," Captain Doyle said.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron urge people to eat less meat
from The Guardian:
Terminator actor and director fronting a new campaign to try and curb animal product consumption, endorsing initiatives in China to reduce meat eating by 50%
More than two decades since the first, gut-crunching Terminator movie, James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger have collaborated again on a campaign encouraging people to cut down on the amount of meat they eat.
Spearheaded by WildAid, the drive has American and Chinese audiences in its crosshairs, and endorses efforts by the latter government to reduce the population's meat consumption by 50%.
"You have to respect that," says Cameron in backstage footage from the shoot. "That's a leadership position." The director, whose off-screen ecological activism has been detected in the plots of films such as Avatar, said he'd been stirred into action after clocking his own hypocrisy.
"How can I call myself an environmentalist when I'm contributing to environmental degradation by what I eat?"
Speaking alongside Cameron, Schwarzenegger reports health benefits of cutting down his meat and dairy intake on the advice of doctors. "I'm slowly getting off meat," he says, "and I tell you: I feel fantastic."
The video, which is part of a wider strategy including billboards and online pledges, features Schwarzenegger staggering through a ravaged landscape presumably destroyed in part by the carbon emissions of the livestock industry.
"Less meat, less heat, more life," concludes the actor in the film, who also states that the notion meat is needed for muscle strength is incorrect.
The campaign makes curious contrast with a video released earlier this week, fronted by Matt Damon, Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara, lobbying for an end to the torture and slaughter of some 10,000 dogs in the far east as part of an annual food festival.

Gun control defeated in Senate. #Orlando means nothing if you're paid by the NRA.
Serious question: Isn't one of the primary purposes of our government to protect American lives? Because today, our government chose not to. Again.
One week after 49 Americans were shot to death in an Orlando nightclub, the Senate today voted no on four different measures to limit gun sales. At least they're consistent. Each time there's a mass shooting, and they occur with alarming frequency and regularity, our politicians do nothing. They tweet thoughts, talk on TV about prayers, and take absolutely zero action.
Today's deadlock was split predictably between Democrats and Republicans, on amendments that would block people who are the federal terrorism watch list from being able to buy guns. The proposed changes would have also closed loopholes in background check laws.
"As the votes were held, families of gun violence victims looked on from the Senate chamber," writes Jennifer Steinhauer in the New York Times.
"Our constituents see a disturbing pattern of inaction," Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader, said on the Senate floor on Monday. "Sadly, our efforts are blocked by the Republican Congress, who take their marching orders from the National Rifle Association."
From the Times:Further action on gun safety measures or mental health provisions seemed unlikely before the fall election, given the rush to finish a series of spending bills and the relatively limited time that Congress will be in session before November.Related: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump today "walked back" his earlier inflammatory remarks that armed clubgoers could have prevented the Orlando massacre.
In addition, the four gun measures were attached to legislation that contains several other thorny issues, such as the question of whether to take passports away from terrorism suspects, which suggests there will be little chance for further debate.

He sent me a few copies, its got a bunch of nice skate shots except for that i'm in the foreground of all of them 😜 i love the jab and am honored.

Public Image Ltd. bootleg: The original band, live in New York, 1980
In the 80s and 90s heyday of the "VHS tape trading underground"—from whence oozed choice fare like Jeff Krulik and John Heyn's "Heavy Metal Parking Lot," Todd Haynes' unorthodox Karen Carpenter bio Superstar and Apocalypse Pooh—the territory was covered in every major city and college town by a small cast of characters—often marginally employed losers who gained a certain amount of notoriety and geek pecking order prestige by the scarcity of their video treasure chests.
These social outcasts and otaku misfits usually kept tight reins on what they had. The less uptight of these guys would trade a full two hour tape for another full two hour tape, whereas others would demand two tapes for every one they traded you. Many were real pricks and would only trade for something they wanted, not something that you wanted. (The sort who might say "Sorry man, but rules are rules." You know the type.) In this way, back then bootleggers and tape traders were the clutch point between collectors and what they coveted most. It wasn't unusual for bootleg VHS tapes to sell for $50. "Deals" would be brokered between two assholes, one with a pristine 2nd generation of the demented TV movie Bad Ronald, the other frantically bargaining with him because, of course, acquiring a copy of a shitty movie like Bad Ronald was a matter of extreme importance. With Bittorrent, and before that eBay, this vibrant—albeit somewhat stunted and idiotic—fanboy culture eventually evaporated.
I cannot tell you how many of these dumb "negotiations" I was involved in myself, often with some pretty petty Gollum-like characters. Luckily I had several good "trading cards" in my hand to play, so I always got what I wanted. Three "top traders" that I will admit to back then were Robert Frank's rarely seen Rolling Stones documentary Cocksucker Blues that I got via a guy I worked with who had himself transferred the film to tape under Robert Frank's personal supervision; another was the oddball black and white latenight TV commercial for Captain Beefheart's Lick My Decals Off, Baby album (dubbed by me from an ancient 2" videotape master possessed by an MTV producer who told me to make a copy for myself) and a sharp, first generation dub of an off air recording of Public Image Limited on American Bandstand.
I bring up the PiL clip in particular just to mention that the version that was used on a well-circulated bootleg PiL DVD anthology—one which Amazon used to sell like it was a legit release—that came out about 15 years ago was a grandchild (at least) of my Bandstand clip. I could tell this—definitively—because of the split-second of what preceded it, an outtake of the same Cramps set that was shot for Urgh! A Music War. The clip had been trading around for maybe fifteen years at that point and now it had come full circle. (As for Cocksucker Blues, if you see a brief videotape warble just as the title card fades out...)
But that's how those things used to get around. They were quite literally copied one at a time and spread from hand to hand. Which brings me to the topic of this post, another PiL performance—unquestionably the greatest live PiL performance on video—director/editor Paul Dougherty's short document of PiL performing at the Great Gildersleeves, a low rent heavy metal bar in NYC, on April 22, 1980 that was bootlegged on this very same DVD. When I bought my copy—at the Pasadena Flea Market—as I scanned the contents and saw that this was on it, I thought I'd hit bootleg PiL paydirt. Sadly it was poor quality.
Now I know Paul. I actually met him at a screening of the PiL Tape, his video for Suicide's "Frankie Teardrop" and his classic clip for Pulsallama's "The Devil Lives in My Husband's Body" when he was showing them at the ICA in London. Many times over the years I've asked him for a copy of the PiL Tape—he knows that I'm a complete PiL freak—and every time he just firmly said "No."
He gave an interview to the The Filth and the Fury fanzine about the so-called PiL Tape in 1999:Have you any idea how the bootleg videos of your film surfaced? The amazing thing is that until a couple of years ago no one even knew PiL had played the gig, let alone knew that it was filmed!They updated the interview on the PiL fansite Fodderstompf in 2013 to indicate "the offending leaker has been identified, case closed."
Paul Dougherty: I have a strong hunch how it leaked but I'm not certain. Because I know all too well how easy it is to copy videos, I was able to keep it bottled up for over 15 years.
There have been crappy uploads of this material from time to time on YouTube. They come and go, but I've never seen all of it in one piece and in quality as good as the embedded clip below (although it's variable in places, too). Other than the precious few TV clips of the original band—John Lydon, Keith Levene, Jah Wobble, Martin Atkins—this is the ONLY live footage that exists of this line-up. It was shot with two cameras and they took sound from the audio board. It's very easily the best PiL bootleg—and that's not just my opinion, the webmaster of the definitive PiL website feels the same way:This video recording features the classic 1980 Lydon, Levene, Wobble & Atkins line up playing live in New York. The best PiL bootleg EVER!! Filmed by two cameras, one at the back / middle, and one on the left-hand side of the stage. This recording is not really a bootleg, BUT neither is it an official release…
NY filmmaker & producer Paul Dougherty had full permission to film the band, however, it was never intended for an official release. It is unknown how ANY recordings of this tape circulated, Dougherty has closely guarded the footage all this time, and is very disappointed about the leak. In fact, he is very keen to find the source of the leek, so if you can help, get in touch…
Obviously, it's well filmed, there are some great close ups of the band (even though John spends most of the time crouched down at the front of the stage). The colour is a bit faded here and there, but despite the age of the recording it's decent quality. Unfortunately it's only four songs, although 'Careering' from the gig has also surfaced separately, but the footage is absolutely superb! Look out for when John gets a young, hip looking, black kid up on stage to dance with him during 'Bad Baby', superb stuff (Lydon later claimed the kid was a transsexual!!).
This has to be one of my favourite PiL videos, it's an absolute must have for PiL fans. It's also the only concert footage of the 1980 line-up I know exists…

Chuck D Speaks On Black Baseball Players
Thursday, June 16, 2016
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLEBecause, as writers, we are particularly aware of the many ways that language can be abused in the name of power;Because we believe that any democracy worthy of the name rests on pluralism, welcomes principled disagreement, and achieves consensus through reasoned debate;Because American history, despite periods of nativism and bigotry, has from the first been a grand experiment in bringing people of different backgrounds together, not pitting them against one another;Because the history of dictatorship is the history of manipulation and division, demagoguery and lies;Because the search for justice is predicated on a respect for the truth;Because we believe that knowledge, experience, flexibility, and historical awareness are indispensable in a leader;Because neither wealth nor celebrity qualifies anyone to speak for the United States, to lead its military, to maintain its alliances, or to represent its people;Because the rise of a political candidate who deliberately appeals to the basest and most violent elements in society, who encourages aggression among his followers, shouts down opponents, intimidates dissenters, and denigrates women and minorities, demands, from each of us, an immediate and forceful response;For all these reasons, we, the undersigned, as a matter of conscience, oppose, unequivocally, the candidacy of Donald J. Trump for the Presidency of the United States.Follow @WritersOnTrump and #WritersOnTrump for more info.Add your name by visiting http://www.ipetitions.com/

Underrated, over-hated, and under-appreciated films.
These are the films that I feel get too much undeserved hate (Only God Forgives,…
2007 Directed by Michael Haneke
When Ann, husband George and son Georgie arrive at their holiday home they are visited by a pair of polite and seemingly pleasant young men. Armed with deceptively sweet smiles and some golf clubs, they proceed to terrorize and torture the tight-knit clan, giving them until the next day to survive.
Chris Coen Hamish McAlpine Hengameh Panahi Christian Baute Andro Steinborn Naomi Watts Philippe Aigle Carol Stiller Douglas C. Steiner Andrea Occhipinti Rene Bastian
Review In A Nutshell:
Funny Games is the story of a family being terrorised by two young men.
This film explores the craving and drive that young people have for control. Both men thrive off the fact that the family can't do anything to save themselves and places them into these little games that would further torture them emotionally. The two young men in this film is a symbol of the sick and unsympathetic mind of a director, they see this family as empty vessels that they could play and manipulate with in order to feed their psychological needs; they see it as art while the victims see it as relentless torment. The film does a great job of creating…
Ninth watch of Noir-Vember. I believe Michael Haneke's Funny Games - this one as well as his 1997 version - to present a commentary, perhaps even a critique, towards the sort of movies that share its non-plot of sole violence (torture porn?) and towards the people who watch them. I believe this is echoed through the film's self-consciousness, which is amongst other things expressed by the fact that the antagonistic intruders are capable of directly addressing the audience. I do not, however, believe that this attempt justifies yet another revolting piece of such torture porno-esque film-making - at least not in the format presented here. Funny Games shows us how two psychopathic (or overacting) adolescent guys take a family of…
Oh hell.
My man Roger Ebert [Edit: I guess it was actually Ebert's editor. Dang. Still good review though] said it best: "This isn't a movie, it's a thesis. "Funny Games" represents the laborious execution of an abstract notion. The concept is the movie, kind of like Andy Warhol's ''Empire'' (1964), an eight-hour stationary shot of the Empire State Building. You don't have to sit through the whole thing to get the point, unless you really want to."
The two stars are for good performances from the 5 main characters. That's it. It's not meant to entertain, but it's not particularly enlightening either. Through all the smugness, I smelled the ending an hour away. I suppose the fact that I…
Man, I dunno. I revisited this for the first time in 5 years and this is definitely Haneke's worst I've seen so far, along with Benny's Video. Unlike most of Haneke's other films, Funny Games doesn't really seem like it's asking the viewer to come to their own conclusions. It more seems like it's trying to directly punish us and /tell/ us about the psychological dangers of observing violence in the media. Very out-of-character for a director whose other films are very vague and thought-provoking. I thought the fourth-wall breaking stuff was revelatory when I was 13, but now it just seems cheesy and didactic in how it relates to the plot (however, the remote scene is still fucking awesome).…
I thought this would be a comedy.
I don't find a damn thing funny about it.
The words "Fucked up" come to mind.
I saw the this a few weeks ago, but never logged a review for it. Thanks to a conversation with ScreeningNotes, I kind of worked out why I didn't find it very likable.
Overall, I find whatever Funny Games is trying to say unconvincing at best and delivered in a terribly dull package. It's partly that I'm not really a fan of the horror/home invasion genre (even though this is skewering that) and partly that I never gave much credence to the idea that by watching onscreen violence we as an audience are condoning or morally complicit in it. I've also grown largely immune to movie violence so the shocking nature of the acts committed on screen have very little…

FUNNY GAMES is an odd duck because its whole appeal is in the message, and for that message the movie gets a lot of hate.
Michael Haneke remade his original film shot-for-shot, word-for-word in English with two high-profile American actors because he felt the message needed to be digested by American audiences specifically. But because he made a mean-spirited, ugly movie on a topic most Americans feel passionate about, people lashed out at it, and I think they don't really understand it.
No, Michael Haneke isn't saying that violence in movies is bad. No, he isn't saying if you enjoy watching violent movies you will become a killer. He's simply saying that in a society that does admittedly have a…
Much easier to digest than the original with a better cast and better acting - but it loses a lot of the impact the original has and doesn't have the unique feel the German version does
"Where's the re- where's the FUCKING REMOTE CONTROL?!"
*hits rewind to 2007ish to tell Haneke that an American remake is stupid"
Frankly, I hate so much about this film. I hate that it seemed necessary for Haneke to make a shot-for-shot remake of his 1997 Hungarian masterpiece so the 'Mericans don't have to read.
Not gonna lie, I scrubbed through most of the film, stopping on the most emotional scenes to witness what Roth, Watts, and Michael Pitt added to this rehash... and while I love each of them, they didn't exceed the original cast.
With all being said... I still love the story, its commentary, and its blend of being horrendously violent without showing very much violence.
Just watch the original instead. Most of us can read after all, you read this.
When a family arrive at their lake-side holiday house and are visited by two young men, their lives become a living nightmare.
US scene by scene remake of an Austrian 'home invasion' movie by the original director. The plot has a promising start but it is short lived, and though it tries so hard to be cutting edge, the story ends becoming a boring, disjointed mess that does nothing to explain anything that happens, and the sequences where the villains break the 'fourth wall' just becomes annoying. Though it does not look it, the production values are very high, and the deliberately grainy look and lack of any discernible musical soundtrack does add to the overall tone of the movie.…
Scavenger Hunt #15 Film #5
Task #7: A film starring Naomi Watts
Naomi really did that. I haven't seen the original yet, but I thought this was fantastic. I was hesitant at first because it's a remake, but it's significantly better than I thought it would be. Very visually pretty, and the constant close up's, especially on Naomi and Tim, honestly look like paintings. More than a handful of scenes are hard to watch, but it's worth seeing.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I want to preface this review by saying I've never seen the original.
I... did not like this film. Funny Games is nothing more than an exercise in patience. Maybe it's because I didn't sympathize with any of the characters. At some point, one of the white boys looked into the camera and told me that I must be rooting for the white family and I howled with laughter.
One of my favorite moments in the film is when George tells Ann to get a move on because they're running out of time and then the pair proceed to take about twenty minutes getting dressed, blow drying Ann's cell phone, and making out. My other favorite moment is when Ann…
My in point to Michael Haneke's career was rather fucked up...
SCAVENGER HUNT 15-[7] A film starring Naomi Watts
"I get it. Isn't that enough?"
Having watched Borgman earlier today, and seeing it compared so much to this, naturally I knew what I had to cross off next. Whereas Borgman kept me watching, this was just grueling to sit through. I get it. There's nothing engaging about Funny Games' execution for me.

Pac-10 Tournament: Hackett locks up Kobe
So do you have to grow up in Italy to get that locker?
That was the question presented to Daniel Hackett, looking oh-so comfortable in Kobe Bryant's patented corner space in the Lakers' locker room.
"I'll tell you a secret," said a bright-eyed Hackett: "I knew it was Kobe's locker. When we came in I rushed in and took it. Sitting here it feels great. I'm overwhelmed."
The Trojans are occupying the Lakers' locker room at the Pac-10 Tournament this weekend at Staples because they are the visiting team (lower seed) in each of their games.
Much like Bryant, Hackett spent a significant portion of his childhood in Italy as a result of his father's professional basketball career there. Hackett, however, was born in Italy and didn't move to the States until he was 15. Bryant was born in Philadelphia, where he returned after seven years in Italy.
"I was trying to get in to see if I could get some sneakers." Hackett joked, pulling at a compartment in Bryant's locker. "Kobe's one of my idols."

we had the engine replace, because after rewiring it was having problems starting, so we started off by replacing the battery, starter, alternator, then the low oil pressure light came on .. no compression so we replace the engine, now the security light comes on. this was the problem prior to replacing those listed parts after we had a mechanic do a full rewiring, which was done first, then replaced the engine now the car starts, wont start sometimes and then start, but cannot be driven due to the security light. could it be a cross of wiring? or is there a way we can reset the security system? it can be started manually from the engine but it wont start the gas pump.

Obesity stigma: How fat children are shunned at school
It is often said that children can be cruel and a new study has revealed overweight youngsters are more likely to bear the brunt of taunts and teasing.
The research, which was presented to the British Psychological Society, found obese pupils were the most likely to struggle with low social status.
The study looked at a mixed group of 414 children aged between five and 10-years-old. Each child's body mass index was calculated and they were classed at either overweight/obese, average or underweight.
Augustus Gloop in the 2005 film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Children in a recent study said rude and incompetent people were more likely to be overweight
Each child
was asked to nominate three classmates whom they would choose to invite to
their party and three they would least like to invite.
The findings found popularity was directly proportion to their BMI. Popular children were more likely to be average or underweight, while those rejected by their classmates were more likely to be overweight or obese. The trend was particularly strong among the boys.
Obese children also followed the trend, choosing to invite thinner classmates than their overweight peers.
In some year groups obese children received no party invitations at all.
Dr Ekaterina Kornilaki and Dr Gregory Chlouverakis from the University of Crete conducted the study.
They conducted further research into why obese children were being stigmatised.
Billy Bunter was an early negative depiction of an overweight child. The character is dishonest, greedy and lazy
The group were asked to listen to a series of short stories featuring characters with positive and negative character traits. They were involved in a range of activities with sporting, artistic and musical abilities.
They were then shown pictures of three identical figures
which varied only in terms of body size. They were asked to select the figure
they thought was most likely to correspond with the positive or negative
personal characteristics and actions of the stories' characters.
What is BMI?
The body mass index is an internationally recognised measurement of obesity.
Your BMI is your weight in kilograms divided by your height in metres squared.
It is used to calculate health body weight, although it does not actually measure the percentage of body fat.
Those who are underweight have a BMI less than 18.5. The normal range is 18.5 to 25. Overweight is classed as 25 to 30, while obese is more than 30.
Children of all ages tended to
attribute positive characteristics firstly to average and secondly to thin
figures. The negative qualities such as rudeness and incompetence were mainly assigned to overweight and obese
Dr Kornilaki said: 'The stigma against overweight children starts early and remains in the years ahead.'
Dr Kornilaki said this could explain the rise of eating disorders among the young.
'This study shows that children clearly regard gaining weight as a disastrous outcome and something to be avoided at all costs.
'This study highlights the need for early preventive educational programmes, which address the high levels of anti-fat bias and social stigmatisation of overweight children and challenge the negative stereotypes involved.'
