To Top
French/Italian national, adopted Londoner and a little bit Japanese. Currently based in New York City, with previous stints in Nice, Milan, Tokyo, London and Brussels. I am a writer and journalist with a passion for words, music and the internet and over ten years experience in the publishing industry across various positions.
Deep down though I am just a nerd who loves working with words and likes to try his hand at different things. I am currently writing a book about the history of modern hip hop and electronic production. I also have a tendency to mutate languages and a penchant for food and travelling.
Over the years I have worked as a copy editor for a national newspaper, written for and produced a variety of B2B and B2C
publications, managed website content for medium and large companies, written a fair share about hip hop and electronic music, taught English in Japan, raised money for the victims of the March 11 tsunami and earthquake, founded and run a non-profit arts and culture project and built websites. The one constant in all this has always been working with words, music and technology and how the three intersect and complement each other.
I am available for freelance and contract work, free trips, payola of various sorts and death threats. And no you can't comment anywhere on this site because comments are evil. If you need to contact me click here. If you want to threaten me Twitter will probably get you the swiftest response.
An up-to-date CV of all my experience can be found on LinkedIn. Below are some highlights from my portfolio of work over the years:
I've lived and worked for clients around the world. This international experience and a multi-cultural upbringing inform my world view and the work I do.
Past and present clients and employers include The Asahi Shimbun/International Herald Tribune, FACT Magazine, Intel UK, Electronic Arts, Red Bull, Resonance FM, Warp Records, VICE, Medium and SPIN.
Most of my recent and current music writing can be found on FACT magazine, RBMA magazine, the Bandcamp Blog, Boiler Room and Medium. I'm also writing a book, ETA 2015. Some of my older writing is archived on this site.
Previous radio appearances have included dublab in L.A and Tokyo, RBMA Radio in NYC, NTS in London, and Radio Citta del Cappo in Italy.
Services I offer include consulting for content and web projects, writing, editing, content production and management, web project management, multimedia production and distribution and event organising.
I'm available for freelance and contract projects, whether remotely or working from an office. I am currently based in New York City, as such my office availability is constrained to the city/state and all major cities that I can commute to from NYC.
Please contact me directly for specs, quotes or anything else you may have a question about.
Another year gone by. Time to reflect on one hand, and time to get moving on the other. Kept things ticking in the last quarter of 2015 with a new column at the FADER, which has been great fun to write, and a handful of features and profiles I'm really happy with, especially the Houseshoes […]
Summer's gone and I still haven't got it together to properly tackle the mountain of work that is the book in front of me. So instead I keep chipping at it by writing various features for magazines that are just a way to force myself to transcribe and put down the ideas in my head. […]
My good friend Neil Cantwell, alongside the BBC's Nick Luscombe, is working on a new project called Japan Sound Portrait: an attempt to crowd source a sonic portrait of the country by asking residents to submit recordings of their favourite sounds. In turn they will work on creating sonic maps of Japan in […]
Earlier this year I got the opportunity to go to Los Angeles and shoot a documentary for FACT TV about Daddy Kev's Cosmic Zoo studio. It was an eye opening experience in terms of learning how to tell stories in video, as opposed to words. The same logic applies, the same investigative and research processes, […]
Not sure how I feel about the fact that it's summer already. There's always that voice lingering at the back of my skull telling me I should have done more, that this book project is slipping out of my control and it'll end up consuming me. Then again, I look back at everything I did […]

Let freedom ring
May 29, 2013 —
National holidays are a mixed bag for me. On one hand, parties, barbeques and parades spring up and a festive air hangs over the Upper Delaware Valley as folks frolic, thrilled to have a three-day weekend. On the other, I invariably have to work. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do, and more often than not my job involves attending parties, barbeques and parades. Thankfully, it's not exactly brain surgery, so I have a lot to be grateful for. Fortunately, I have a lot of freedom to express my humble opinion on a variety of subjects and thus far, I have not run out of things to say. Memorial Day weekend ushers in my birthday and although I'm glad it's over (no room for that many candles on the cake), it's always a challenge to figure out how to celebrate and still get the work done.
Scrutinizing the seemingly endless schedule of events taking place last week, I was (for something completely different) forced to pick and choose, loosely based on personal choice. Desiring to mix business with pleasure, I selected a central location (www.straycatgallery.com) and set out in search of intellectual stimulation, mixing it up with an art show, prepared to observe freedom of expression in the making. Pretending that the opening reception for the gallery's "Mist and Mystery" exhibit was planned as a birthday party for me wasn't easy, but I managed. It was easier to wrap my head around the exhibit's theme when viewing Kit Jones' photography (www.kitjonesstudio.com), which (IMHO) expressed the artist's "fascination with fog and mist stemming from his childhood in a coastal town of California where fog came in almost daily." By the time I arrived, Jones was not on hand for further discussion, but I found his photographs alluring, and they will be on display at the gallery through June 5.

News TickerMargaret Ernst BMC '11 | June 5, 2010
Current Location: Wild Rose, Wisconsin
Since my last post, my girlfriend Riki and I drove more than a thousand miles across the country, activists challenged the Israeli flotilla surrounding Gaza, and my visa for Scotland got approved.
It's certainly bizarre how time and space shrinks when you're living in the woods. My family's lake house in Wisconsin is probably the one place where I feel entirely at home. When we arrived, after two days in Riki's Honda station wagon on the way from York, PA, I walked out onto the dock and felt choked up when I saw steam rising from the lake after the recent rain.
For the past two days we have slept and read and chatted with my dad and sister, enjoying the smells of the old cabin my great-grandfather built and that has become a ritual vacation spot for my father's family of seven kids. It's surreal to be here without the activity of fourteen cousins, twelve uncles and aunts, and an indefinite number of dogs, but because I've come to Gilbert Lake for a week or two every year of my life, being in Wisconsin always feels right.
Internet access is spotty here and the only small, old television that used to be housed in the cottage has been replaced by a few iron knickknacks. I am temporarily ridden of my addiction to checking the news. But in my news, I've finally received word that my UK visa was approved, and it's already in the mail. That means I'm officially, certifiably, going to be spending the summer at Iona.
In the news of the world, I'm afraid for war in Gaza, and the New York Times tells me that Pope Benedict looked frighteningly glib while leaders in Cyprus launched a "furious broadside" against Turkey on Friday. It seems trifling, when facing the onset of collapsing foreign relations, when bills cross the Senate floor daily, to pause and think about reframing historical narrative.
But I am deeply thankful to the Internet (and the power of Google's news alerts), because the web director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture somehow read my last post. He shared it with his staff and the museum's founding director. Framing our lives within contexts, within contexts that allow everyone to have voice, changes things. It's not as hot-botton or instantaneous as a ticker on CNN, but maybe it matters because our lives aren't at as fast as that either. We go to a museum, we go to class, to work, leaves change, snow comes, a birthday, a dog dies, we read an email, an article, a blog.
Riki and I leave from Wisconsin on Tuesday, after we've swum, tire-swung, and played languorous games of mancala on the porch. I'm reading Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides and Karen Armstrong's The Case for God. She's reading Lolita. We made chicken kebabs and my sister made angel food cake. Tuesday will be my 21st birthday. It's nice when things happen this slowly.

Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell announced Friday that the city hired Jeffrey Mahon as the new Honolulu Zoo director.
Mahon started work at the Honolulu Zoo Friday morning.
Mahon graduated from the United States Naval Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree in Oceanography and holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Zoology, with a concentration in Behavioral Ecology from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa.
He has served at various underwater facilities and aquariums around the world, most recently at the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center as the Director of Exhibits and Animal Husbandry.
"We are very fortunate to welcome Dr. Mahon back to Hawaii," said Mayor Caldwell. "Dr. Mahon's background in developing world-class exhibits and creating new programs that will reach out to a wider audience of residents, students and visitors is very exciting for the future of the Zoo."
Prior to his work in Virginia, Mahon was a curatorial director and responsible for four facilities in Asia including Underwater World Singapore and Dolphin Lagoon in Singapore, Underwater World Pattaya in Thailand, and Chengdu Hawpar Oceanarium in China. He also served as the general curator and facilities manager of Underwater World Guam.
Mahon's military experience includes serving in the U.S. Navy on the nuclear submarine USS Buffalo and as a Commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve, retiring in 2008.
Mahon produced several popular exhibits that drew international acclaim and significantly increased visitor-ship. These include the following:
- RFID Exhibit – The world's first exhibit where fish are detected in the tank using implanted chips
- Chinese New Year Exhibits – Year of the Rat featured Ratfish inside a Chinese Zodiac Roulette wheel, Year of the Pig featured Pig-nosed Turtles inside a huge Yuan Bao display, Year of the Dragon featured five unique dragon species (Dragon Morays, Sea Dragons, Water Dragons, Dragon Wrasses, and Dragonettes
- Amazon Display – Featured unique animals of the Amazon including Poison Dart Frogs
- Sand Tiger Shark Exhibit – World's largest display of these iconic sharks
- Dive with the Sharks program
- Yellow-crowned Butterflyfish display – Only one on earth. Rare and treasured fish that is only found below 200 feet in Guam. Dr. Mahon personally caught these fish using an electronic rebreather

SPLC Labeling FRC As A "Hate Group" Endangered My Life
It saddens me and brings tears to my eyes that a person like Corkins would resort to violence out of political disagreement, especially on the topic of gay marriage. It breaks my heart that: Southern Poverty Law Center: facilitated his intent to commit such a horrific act of violence by labeling FRC as a "hate group."
FRC is far from hateful. Its staff members are the most delightful, friendly, sweet, loving, caring, and Christ-like people you will ever meet. As a pro-life intern there this past summer, FRC became a home away from home for me. It is a: safe haven: in the middle of our nation's morally corrupt capital. My fellow interns have become some of my best friends. And I was incredibly blessed to have Jeanne Monahan as my mentor, who truly helped me to grow as a pro-life advocate.
It is time to for the Southern Poverty Law Center to stop labeling FRC, and other organizations that just want to make society a better place, as "hate groups.": I only pray that people will learn from this shooting that : wrongful: labels and: violence are not ways to solve political disagreements. Let's stop the hate to prevent acts of violence like this shooting from occurring again.

The deep freeze of this month's polar vortex — which no doubt hurt restaurant sales just as the new year was getting started — is not exactly a positive sign for the industry headed into 2014. No amount of gift card redemptions, usually a boon in January, will make up for consumers staying home in sub-zero or nearly zero temperatures across the majority of the country. Still, this new year does have some positive momentum it won't easily give up: • Industrywide ...

2. They were on the road
3. Winning is not all about having more talent and skill. It's also about character, heart, the ability to perform under pressure etc.... The Knicks lack those intangibles. So they typically find ways to lose close games at crunch time. The best example was Portland. Portland has a very young team. Portland did everything they could to give that game to the Knicks, but the Knicks found a way to play even worse at the end and lose. That's pathetic. If the Pistons, Spurs, etc.. outgut you at crunch time, well, what are going to do. That's why they are champions. But this was bad.
The Knicks are playing MUCH better now. They are competitive in every game regardless of whether the team is better, they are on the road etc.... They simply aren't that good and haven't learned to win.

Our Mission
- Preserving the heritage of the site including the historic Marconi station and major WWII radar laboratory buildings.
- Developing an 'Information Age Learning Center' in the historic buildings to preserve that heritage.
- Enable Brookdale Community College to develop an extension campus.
- Use the remaining open areas of the Camp for passive and active township recreation.
We are using these historic, well-constructed buildings and beautiful site as a head-start. With this head-start we are doing what has been done in over 250 communities - creating a center for science and history.
We will continue to research the history, educate the public of its historic value and seek grants to rehabilitate the site for a compatible new use.
We are enabling a bunch a great groups who already have successful science education programs to reach more families and schools here. The membership fees, entrance fees, and special event fees will pay the costs to keep the site preserved for everyone's enjoyment.

NBA Comparison: Marcus Camby
Strengths: An unbelievable athlete who can jump out of the gym with the best of them. A highlight real waiting to happen. His incredibly long arms and intensity make him a ferocious offensive and defensive rebounder. Gets off the floor almost instantaneously. Possesses a nice turnaround jumper and decent ball handling skills for a player his size. Has the potential and desire to not only become an offensive force, but a shut down defender as well. A very exciting player to watch with huge potential.
Weaknesses: Everything he does is based on his superior athletic ability. Despite his ball handling skills, Hakim is still very raw. His points usually come from fastbreaks, tip-ins, and putbacks. He tries to dunk everything on the offensive end and block everything on the defensive side. Perimeter game is suspect, despite good form on his outside shot. MUST put on muscle if he has any plans of ever playing pro ball, he is very thin and is easily out-muscled. Free throw shooting and interior defense are also concerns.
Notes: Hakim has the potential to become a very good player, but must learn to rely on more than his other worldly athletic ability. If he learns to collect himself and show some patience, his offense will improve dramatically. It seems as though Coach Boeheim is going to use Hakim on the interior in his early years at SU and then slowly bring him out to the perimeter as his shot and ball handling mature....Nicknamed "Skinny" by his friends due to his extremely slender frame. Upside is definitely there.
do what you gotta do!
i would like going after that greek 'baby shaq' heard alot about him
No signature
no thanks, i'm tired of injured players
rather take kaman, give him som' to eat to put some weight, and you have a massive center
do what you gotta do!
first guy for workouts, slavo
The Knicks are intrigued by the 7-foot-6 Yugoslavian Slavko Vranes and asked to watch him work out at John Jay College on Monday.
Vranes, part of the Marc Cornstein European stable, is staying in New York through the draft. The 20-year-old played limitedly for his Yugoslavian team, so he's likely to be a late first-round or second-round pick.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Kaman looks like a product of the system at Central Michigan. The only thing impressive about him is his size. I think he's about reached the peak of his potential and I don't believe he'll have a long career in the NBA. Size != quality size.
Pavel will probably be out of reach now that his latest workout has caused his stock to skyrocket. He will be picked no lower than sixth.
do not take KAMAN THE GUY OR SLAVO WTF take collison are they retraded there stupid they really are id be even happier with ridnour anyone but those scrubs i dont want another doleac !!!!!!!!!!!!!1

"From Here to There," The Iowa Heritage: Program # 6, Iowa Public Television, 1978.
I have seen steam engines of one sort or another many times: steamboats, sawmills. But nothing is quite so impressing as this huge steam engine on wheels. Coal, black iron, belching smoke and sparks, the hiss of escaping steam and the screech of brakes all stuck together in a rolling house of energy. Amazing! To be sure, the train is not a moving palace as is the steamboat, but it does have its share of traveling comforts. There are dinning cars where a person can get a descent, if not elegant meal. Many cars are still heated with wood stoves, but some use steam heat: a steam taken from the engine itself with a system of pipes and hoses. All aboard?! Do you want me to take that for you sir? Ok, but I want to keep this one. Ok, fine. Thank you very much. Brass kerosene lamps adorn the ceilings. Some of the express trains even have cars with sleeping berths in them. The seats are richly padded, which is much appreciated after the torture I endured on the stagecoach yesterday. (music and sound of the train leaving the station)

Inequality for All | A documentary film about income inequality, public policy, and economics and features professor Robert Reich.
$2.13 per hour vs. $3,000,000.00 per hour
Each of the Koch brothers saw his investments grow by $6 billion in one year, which is $3 million dollars per hour based on a 40-hour ?work? week.
Their income portrays them, in a society measured by economic status, as a million times more valuable than the average restaurant server that earns $2.13 an hour.
A comparison of top and bottom salaries within large corporations is much less severe, but a lot more common.
For CEOs and minimum-wage workers, the difference is $5,000.00 per hour vs. $7.25 per hour.
INEQUALITY FOR ALL - Official Trailer
About the Film | Inequality for All
It was quite a challenge, as a narrative filmmaker, to think about how I might approach a documentary about widening income inequality. As I thought about it more, however, I realized my background could be a real asset. I decided my goal with this film, first and foremost, was to take a conceptual and abstract topic and find a way to tell an approachable and human story about it. Every choice ? from letting Reich?s humor show through to approaching interview subjects as people rather than victims ? was designed to help show the argument and the economy in human terms that people could wrap their heads around.
Jacob Kornbluth, Director
This approach was so important to me because economic inequality was a concept that I have always felt personally. I grew up knowing I was from a poor family because I got free school lunches ? the scarlet letter a kid wears to let his classmates know his family is below the poverty line ? all the way through school. My mother raised a family of four by herself on a salary that ranged from $9,000 ? $15,000 a year. I remember all the day-to-day tough calls my mother had to make ? medical insurance for her kids or groceries? ? the pressure of which weighed on her every second of every day. I also remember how people looked down on us ? we must not be worth much if we had worn clothes on or if we didn?t even have enough money to go to the mall or to get an ice cream.
My upbringing also led us to move around a lot. I started out in a rough neighborhood in New York City, went to high school in a farm town in rural Michigan when New York became too much for my mother to handle, and moved to California as an adult. All of this might surprise people who know me now. Education was my way out, and I don?t often call attention to my economically disadvantaged roots. But I never forgot where I came from, and I was always keenly aware of who had what in society.
Cut to today. My hope in making this film was that I would be able to take all of those experiences and use them to help make a film that a wide variety of people can connect to. I have lived among the most conservative and liberal people in America, in urban and rural communities across this amazingly diverse country, and have experience dealing with billionaires and homeless people and everything in between.
I believe my somewhat unconventional background has provided great preparation for the goal of the film: to find a human way in to an idea-driven film. I believe America could use a discussion about the future of the middle class and widening income inequality, but not in purely partisan terms. I think we?ve had enough of that. The film I hope we made is one that educates at the same time it inspires, and speaks to what we can hope for to make America better. That large, idea-driven story, for me, is as personal as it gets.
This movie is critically important. It exposes the heart of our economic problem. Something that?s been getting worse and worse for over 30 years. Widening inequality.
We?re in the biggest economic slump since the Great Depression, and we can?t seem to get out of it. Why? Because, exactly as in the 1920s, so much of the nation?s income and wealth are going to the top, that the vast middle class doesn?t have the purchasing power to keep the economy going.
I?ve spent most of my working life concerned about what?s happening to American workers ? their jobs, their wages, their hopes and fears. My father sold clothing to the wives of factory workers in the late 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. I watched as the factories began to close, and as those families struggled with a new economy. Households kept their living standards by sending those wives and mothers into paid work ? a strategy that did the trick for a time. But when it no longer generated enough income, American families went deeper and deeper into debt ? and that?s been the vicious cycle most middle class Americans have been in ever since.
People are stressed. They?re angry and frustrated, and the tide is only rising on that front. Their debt obligations are staggering, yet (if lucky enough to have a job), they?re working harder and longer than ever before. People need to understand what?s happening to them ? because from their perspective, the picture looks pretty bleak.
Until we can take a step back and understand the big picture, we can?t do anything to get ourselves out of this mess. Our democracy as we know it depends on it. I?m an educator. I love the classroom. But I also write books, appear on television and on the radio, and do everything else I can do to help people understand the economic truth. It?s my life?s work and it?s more important than ever. One of the best ways to help people understand the challenges we face, is with a movie that can grab an audience and move them to action.
And this movie will do exactly that.

If you want it. Go work for it.
Simple as that.
The wages of the middle class have been stagnant for 30 years, and there is data that supports that argument.
The purchasing power of the middle class which powers the economy is not keeping up, it is reducing the potential growth of the economy.
You cannot grow an economy that is powered by the creation of low wage and benefit services jobs, which are the majority of jobs created since the start of the great recession in 2007.
Low wage and benefits cause a reduction in the level of disposable income that people have to buy stuff.
Which is exactly the point of the movie.

Graph: America Has a Part-time Employment Problem
Post by: Benjamin Landy ,

2012 was a decent year for employment growth, all things considered. Despite a global economic slowdown and weak demand at home, the unemployment rate dropped 0.7 points to 7.8 percent in December, following 34 consecutive months of steady, albeit slow, private sector job creation. The long-term unemployment rate fell, too: Last month, the percentage of people out of work more than six months fell below 40 percent of all job-seekers for the first time in more than three years. Yet even as the quantity of jobs has increased, their quality has declined. Many of the newly reemployed have had no choice but to accept part-time jobs with lower wages and fewer benefits.
The shift to a low-wage workforce began during the Great Recession, when businesses began laying off full-time workers and cutting hours to boost profits. By the end of 2009, the number of Americans working part-time for "economic reasons" had doubled to over 9 million the single largest spike since the Bureau of Labor Statistics began tracking part-time employment in 1955. Although that number has fallen somewhat today, many employers have opted to lock in those productivity gains at the expense of labor, leaving 7.9 million part-time workers unable to find better-paying, full-time jobs.
Although the number of people working part time for "economic reasons" increased in response to the 2007-2009 recession suggesting that the rise of the part-time worker is temporary there is also reason to believe that the trends underlying the shift to an increasingly part-time, low-wage workforce are neither short-term nor cyclical.
Global competition has pushed businesses to cut labor costs, either by boosting productivity with technologies that replace workers, or by cutting hours, wages and benefits to create a more "flexible" workforce. Without strong consumer demand to drive hiring or unions to defend their interests, workers have little leverage in the global economy. Rising income inequality has also contributed to this trend, creating a positive feedback loop of lower consumption, falling wages, sharper inequality and a growing population of part-time "working poor."

I work 2 jobs. Its a lot of working hours but its a way I can get ahead in this life so that's what I do. I have done this for years. Thankfully now my second job is something I love to do.
I love the guys at my work that complain about wage "inequality" They are the ones loafing at work and doing drugs or partying when not at work. They might want to invest or save their money but apparently blowing it and blaming those who make more is easier for them to process. I could care less if someone parties but when they then blame others for their situation its complete BS.
btw, minimum wage is $8 per hour now.
My wife grew up dirt poor and her parents taught her to find a husband, have kids and stay at home raising them. Seeking an education for career was not a goal for her. When we got married our discussions led to a shift in her thinking. It took years for her to climb her way up even though she was set up to fail at having a career but her hard work and persistence has paid off. She now has a specialized career that gives her the freedom to work from home. No doubt her high IQ led to her success so that may be the real factor to look at.
that's great that you have two jobs. A lot of us used to work 2 jobs when we were younger and times were different and at the start of our entry into the workforce. But now in a lot of places those days are gone, never to return and people are having problems finding one job. Some people have one crappy salary job and that's it, there aren't always options in reality for everyone and especially the people in there late 40's and 50's. Some of them may never work again, at least not earning any real income.

GOTD: Why Unemployed Workers Can
GOTD: Why Unemployed Workers Can?t Just ?Get a Job?
Blog Post by: Benjamin Landy , on January 16, 2014
On December 28, roughly 1.3 million Americans lost their unemployment insurance after Congress failed to renew an emergency program that would have extended benefits for the long-term jobless.
Three weeks later, lawmakers are still dithering. Some high-profile Republicans have joined Democrats in supporting another extension of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program, although they disagree over how it should be funded. Others, like Senator Rand Paul, have suggested that providing unemployment insurance longer than the typical 26 weeks does workers "a disservice," lulling them into complacency.
There are a number of reasons why Paul's comments were off base, from the bleak moral vision they represent to the numerous studies showing unemployment insurance actually helps workers stay in the labor force. But perhaps the most obvious rebuttal is this: Four years into the economic recovery, there are still less than 4 million job openings for more than 10 million unemployed people. Including the nearly 1 million Americans who also have no job but are counted as "discouraged" rather than "unemployed," that's approximately three job applicants per available position.
For the millions of Americans without work or a financial lifeline, "get a job" isn't a policy solution. It's out-of-touch Washington condescension at its worst.

When household wealth and wages decline aggregate demand drops and employment remains high, this is economics 101.

Democrat controlled Senate fails to advance minimum wage hike.
I have to point out your flaw in reasoning EXPERIENCE is what you're talking about...not age..though one hopes that with age comes experience but this is not always the case
I'm behind the 8-ball financially (genuinely a series of really shitty events) but during the process of being here I've worked as many as three jobs at a time and still holding down kids, home, hubs etc... I just work harder and get better at selling my worth for better income along the way. I can see the end of the tunnel but I'm not there yet.
Luckily I do have a ton of experience in several fields.
wages ARE stagnant . I've done the math on my husbands employment-wages vs inflation/cost of living and he is making less now then he was when he started at his company 7 yrs ago all factors considered but he likes his job quite a bit so I take up the slack.
the federal reserve says we don't have enough inflation and that we need more.
there's a lot of hidden inflation too. products have less product in them for the same price.
oh yeah...absolutely
I picked up a box of pasta the other day and didn't even notice it was like 12 ounces instead of 16 until I got home and went to make it and was thinkin...wtf..why does this seem like its shorted?
uhm, cuz it was
what kinda blows my mind is traveling down south and seeing milk and gas prices being pretty much the same as they are up north (dont ask me why milk and gas are my mental gauge) and knowing full well the wages are wildly lower..I mean I get that housing is cheaper but not THAT much cheaper. How are these people buying groceries?

President Obama has been suggesting raising minimum wage to $10.10 an hour by 2016 and hope to see this . Not everyone is destined to attend college or have a specific skill and seek a higher paying job . It takes a lot of motivation , drive to move forward and accomplish what you want .
here's the results of obamas $10.10 federal contractors minimum wage regulation.
Some fast food outlets closing on military bases
New federal wage rules may be factor, sources say
Mar. 17, 2014
Four restaurants, including three McDonald?s outlets, will close within the next three weeks on Navy installations, according to Navy Exchange Service Command officials.
And two other contractors ? a name-brand sandwich eatery and a name-brand pizza parlor ? have asked to be released from their Army and Air Force Exchange Service contracts to operate fast food restaurants at two other installations, according to AAFES officials.
A source with knowledge of military on-base resale operations said the issue likely has to do with two new government regulations ? one implemented, one pending ? that will affect wages for contract workers in such on-base concessions.
These closings ?are the tip of the iceberg,? the source said. ?I don?t think anybody has realized what the far-reaching effects of this will be.?
McDonald?s restaurants will close at Naval Weapons Station Charleston, S.C., on March 16; at Naval Support Activity, Bethesda, Md., on March 21; and at Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton, Wash., on March 31, said Kathleen Martin, a NEXCOM spokeswoman.
Another eatery, I Love Country, has notified NEXCOM that it will close its restaurant at Naval Station Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on April 4, Martin said.
Martin said the McDonald?s outlets ?came to the end of their contract term. We were in the process of renegotiating and McDonald?s made the unilateral decision to close those three? outlets. She referred questions about the reasons for the closures to McDonald?s.
Lisa McComb, a company spokeswoman, said McDonald?s, along with the independent owner/operators of the individual restaurants, are closing the three eateries ?due to the fact that we have lost our lease.?
McDonald?s independent owners operate about 30 restaurants on military installations. ?Whenever we reach the end of a term, whether on a military site or otherwise, we consider many factors in deciding whether to renegotiate a new term,? McComb said.
She said the owners of the three closing outlets are offering affected employees transfers to other nearby McDonald?s restaurants.
Martin said new Labor Department rules issued last fall for fast food workers on federal contracts under the Service Contract Act require an increase in the minimum wage for such employees, varying by region. The rules also require payment of new, additional ?health and welfare? fringe benefits at a rate of $3.81 per hour to those employees.
Contractor-operated fast food concessions on military installations fall under those regulations.
The new rules ?have to be part of any contract we negotiate,? said Martin, adding that many vendor partners ?have verbally indicated hesitation? to accept contract changes reflecting the revised wage rules.
?NEXCOM is working closely with our contracted food service providers to assess the impact of the new wage determinations,? she said. ?This is part of the quality-of-life benefit we provide to sailors and their families, and our goal is to continue to do that.?
In addition, President Obama recently signed an executive order that will increase the minimum wage for employees of companies with new federal contracts beginning Jan. 1. At that time, the minimum wage for all federal contract workers ? not just those working for fast food concessions ? will increase to $10.10 from the current $7.25. It is not yet known how far-reaching the effects will be for contracts on military installations.
The wage hikes are good news for the many military spouses and veterans who work for these contractors ? but only if the concessionaires continue to operate.
?At the end of the day, there will be fewer jobs,? said the industry source. ?And for [the contractors] who stick it out, there will be higher costs and the customers will pay more.?
The two AAFES contractors asking to be released from their contracts did so after the new Labor Department wage rules were released.
AAFES officials are declining at this time to name the two name-brand restaurants, said spokesman Chris Ward, although he added that there is no set timeframe for that to happen.
?Once the paperwork is completed by both parties, they?ll be out of it at that time,? he said.
Concessions contracts are negotiated on a rolling basis for fast food restaurants on military installations throughout the year, so exchange officials continue to monitor and assess the impact of the new wage rules.
AAFES officials said the Service Contract Act has had a limited impact on their operations because that exchange service directly operates about 75 percent of its fast food outlets.
The new wage rules ?were a small concern, but not a major concern,? in the I Love Country Cafe eatery?s decision not to renew the contract at Pearl Harbor, said Richard Chan, a spokesman for the company.
?The Hawaii labor market is tight and we need to pool our resources and move to other areas,? he said, adding that the Navy has posted signs to let the customers know about the impending move.
?We really enjoy serving the service members of our country,? he said. ?Some customers are sad, but our other locations are not too far from the bases.?
Fast food is bad for you anyway.
Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps. - Emo Phillips
I have a decent career and worked hard at it, schools licenses extra hours for free when I could assist someone to learn a new aircraft model or engine. So yes hard work pays, kinda, I have been making $55hr an hour since 2001, so yes cost of living rose and salary stayed stagnant. Both sides are correct as far as I can see.
Aussies and Philadelphians are the only people here
I have worked fast food, construction, manufacturing, and all sorts of low paying jobs. Statistics to me mean nothing compared to personal experience. People that are happy making $10 per hour, then go home smoke some dope or get drunk, will never get sympathy from me. There is no one that I have ever met who actually has some drive that has not made good money. Most people are just too damn lazy and want something handed to them. Every time I saw my wage get stagnant I changed jobs to improve it. If someone is bitching that they make $10 an hour then move to the Dakotas and work on an oil well. You could do that literally today.
I am a state licensed water plant operator I make a very low wage (I believe for what I do) and it is for county/gov. Let me put it this way I have worked my way up in the last 4 years to 15.67 per hr. Now when you consider what it takes to produce on avg 40 MGD of clean drinkable water per day that wage is ridiculous. I work with lab techs that have to have a BA that cold not pass the test operators have to take. Of course we are not even eligible to take the exam until we have 2 years OJT. I guess this was ore of a vent than anything but what Bowden says is true and it is getting worse. I do have a profession and work very hard but it is still paycheck to paycheck.
Now you have my younger brother who was able to hook up with an oil company through a friend and works 18 on and 12 off and started at 125K a year. Now he has me thinking of sacrificing for about five years to get myself and my wife ahead of the curve.....Just my 2 cents.....

hi !!
1.Ryuken Ishida: actually, i realyy don't know why he's ma fav ^^ . Mysterious maybe
2. Ichigo: He's so funny and strong, the first main character in anime i really appreciate #antihero, lol
3. and yes, i just can't make it 2, Byakuya-sama He's strong, calm, just awesome
Shunsui - badass shikai and super pervert
Gin - the dude was a clever snake that gave Aizen a run for his money
Kenpachi- He's simply just BA and everyone knows that
Renji-i dont know, he's just cool and represents tattoos lol
Never saw bleach:p
Ichigo - He's just funny lol
Cyan Sung Sun -
She's so sarcastic and is always correcting the other two arrancars shes with
kenpachi - no explanation needed here
Mr.Urahara - how can you not like him ;o ?
Ichigo Kurosaki - he's amazing, funny and his Hollow self is just as beautiful!!
Tōshirō Hitsugaya - he shows that its great to be small and also he's hilarious when telling off Rangiku and Ichigo :D
Kenpachi is My first favorite because hes strong and Fearless! aside From Gin who is always seen with a big grin on his face ;p
Grimmjow- He's has an epic smile (look at my sig)
Byakuya- He has a beautiful bankai
1: Hollow Ichigo. I'm usually drawn to the more sadistic characters in anything, and it only helps thats he's so bloodthirsty.
2: Ichimaru Gin. lol i dunno, i like the way he talks and how he relates himself to a snake. the fact that he weaseled himself so close to Aizen was also pretty awesome, considering he dealt the most damage before Mugetsu.
Kenpachi!!!!!!!!!!! nearly 99.9% of bleach characters have this arrogant attitude like "hey im a bad ass, ur trash so stop annoying me" BUT kenpachi is such a bad ass that he actually pulls this off & yet he actually doesnt do this act instead he weakens himself to enjoy the fight.
Toshiro- little kid in big pants, i find his obsession in protecting minori annoying, but i like everything else. here is a character that knows he is not that strong yet has a strong sense of duty and future potential.
Shunsui Kyōraku: he is so chill and relax at any situation, he's a boss. =)
Byakuya n Grimmjow!! :-) d reasn is simpl,cz i m into both of em'
Ichigo and Rukia- Because they are the main characters and they've been in the series the longest so I feel a connection.
If I was not able to chose Ichigo and Rukia than I'd probably choose Kisuke and Kenpachi because they're badass.

July 10, 2014: It seems like our compulsive universe can be downright capricious when it comes to making oddball-looking things in the cosmos. The latest surprise to Hubble astronomers is a 100,000-light-year-long structure that looks like a string of pearls twisted into a corkscrew shape. This Slinky-like structure forms a bridge between two giant elliptical galaxies that are colliding. The "pearls" on the Slinky are superclusters of blazing, blue-white, newly born stars. The whole assembly, which looks like a tug-of-war, must result from the gravitational tidal forces present in the collision.
If that's not strange enough, the underlying physics behind the "beads on a string" shape is related to describing the behavior of self-gravitating clumps of gas. It's analogous to the process where rain falls in drops rather than in continuous filaments from clouds. It's called the Jeans instability, and it can play out on distance scales of enormous orders of magnitude — from being inches across to many thousands of light-years in length.See the rest:

With the 2013 TI Intern Design Contest coming to a close, I felt it would be helpful to do a quick roundup of my favorite project entries. This year there were two categories for the design competition, with two awards for each category.
The first category was focused on creating an add-on board for the TI LaunchPad series. This includes the MSP430, TIVA-C, and C2000 platforms. The second category included entries focused on creating an add-on board for the BeagleBone Black.
While there were 50 teams (1-4 people) that originally committed to the contest, it looks like only 40% or so managed to complete their designs and submit a project. Let's take a look at some of the more interesting submissions.

Libya's security crisisOctober 12,2013
The New York Times said in an editorial Friday:
The American commando operation that snatched a suspected leader of al-Qaida from his neighborhood in Tripoli, while successful, does not offer a permanent strategy to the threat from extremists in Libya. That point was reinforced Thursday when the country's prime minister, Ali Zeidan, was briefly kidnapped by militia members in apparent retaliation for his consenting to the raid.
In the long term, Libya's stability will depend on the country developing its own security forces and strengthening its fragile transitional government. But that will require more assistance from the United States and Europe, which have so far lacked a coordinated vision and the political will to support these two goals sufficiently.
The suspected al-Qaida commander, Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, also known by his alias Abu Anas al-Libi, is under indictment for the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and for conspiring with Osama bin Laden to attack U.S. forces in Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Somalia.
There was little possibility that the transition government could have apprehended Ruqai. Since the 2011 revolution that ousted Moammar Gadhafi, the government has barely functioned, the security forces have been in disarray and security has worsened. The country is awash in arms, and the situation is so chaotic that militants, some affiliated with al-Qaida, have begun to use Libya as a base and to smuggle weapons beyond its borders, including into Mali.
The government's biggest challenge is to gain control of the freewheeling armed militias, which were part of the revolution and vastly exceed the army and police in size and arsenals. But so far, all of its initiatives, including offering the militias incentives to integrate into the army and police forces, have failed. The unrest brought oil production to a standstill earlier in the year, though part of it has been brought back on line.
In response to a request from the Libyan government in the spring, the United States, Britain and Italy have been planning a multiyear program to train and equip a core of about 12,000 Libyan soldiers at a base in Europe, with the cost borne by Libya. The Americans also plan a smaller program to train border guards.
These programs should be started as soon as possible, though neither is expected to improve security immediately. Broader reforms in the Libyan army, including establishing a coherent chain of command, are also crucial. But none of this will amount to much without replacing the interim government with a more permanent and democratic structure that can begin to unify the country's tribal, regional and political groups and deliver services.
That is unlikely to happen without more sustained help — including increased diplomatic engagement and advice on strengthening the rule of law and writing a new constitution — from the United States and Europe.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

He's no genius, his Suns team had the talent we don't.
He had shooters, a great PG and guys that could play inside.
To make his system work, you need guys that shoot the 3 better than we do given the number of 3s his teams take, he had that in Phoenix even with his 2nd unit, James Jones, Casey Jacobson, Barbosa guys that could shoot 40% or better from 3. Our best shooter is Fields at 38%.


text: While the ePub standard was created with text documents in mind, the Pages program on the Mac can create ePub documents with embedded images. However, the current version of Pages (Pages '09) does not allow for alternative text to be added to each image in an ePub document. Without alternative text, someone accessing the ePub document on an iPad with the iBooks app and the VoiceOver screen reader will hear the file name of each image, instead of a more useful description. This tutorial will demonstrate a technique for adding alternative text to ePub documents exported from Pages. This will make the documents more accessible to those who rely on VoiceOver to have ebooks read aloud to them on the iPad.

School lunch nutrition to improve
September 19, 2012 —
New national lunch standards this year require schools to offer fruits and vegetables every school day, only fat-free and low-fat milk options, and more whole grains. Calorie limits for students will also be set based on grade level.
The new national standard for school meals that's behind this change is just one of five major components of the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act, championed by First Lady Michelle Obama as part of her Let's Move! health and wellness campaign.
To meet the new standards, most schools will need to double the amount of fruits and vegetables they serve, and must offer specific categories of vegetables weekly (leafy green, orange/red, legumes, and beans). The standards also limit the quantity of processed, starchy vegetables (such as potatoes and corn) schools can offer throughout the week.
Overall, the new standards will cost about $3.2 billion to implement over the next five years, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, but the government plans to reimburse schools an additional six cents per meal. In order for meals to qualify for state and federal reimbursements, students must take at least three of the five offered components each day. The additional six-cent reimbursement is intended to help offset the cost of buying more fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grain foods.

Alaska State Troopers last week charged a Port Graham woman with making terroristic threats against her 1-year-old son.
After checking to make sure the boy was OK, troopers arrested Elizabeth Kvasnikoff, 27, on one count of second-degree terroristic threatening, a class C felony.
Kvasnikoff was charged for knowingly making a false report that a danger to human life existed or was about to exist and which placed a person in fear of injury to any person.
Kvasnikoff is at Wildwood Pretrial Facility in Kenai.
According to an affidavit from Trooper John Probst, on April 14, the boy's father called 911 with concerns about text messages he had received from Kvasnikoff. The messages said things like "f--- with me some more I kill your child," "see you at the cemetery" and "say bye we're already dead," Probst wrote in his complaint.
The father and Kvasnikoff are in a custody dispute over their son, Probst said in the complaint. Probst contacted Kvasnikoff by phone to check on the welfare of the boy to confirm he was OK.
Probst said Kvasnikoff admitted sending text messages to the father.

Learn How To Deal With Silverfish Infestation This Summer
Variously referred to as fish moth, urban silverfish, tassel tail, and fringe tail, silverfish are little bugs that can be quite invasive. And while harmless, these grayish-blue creatures are not pleasant to have around the house as they feed on dead skin cells, books, and starchy material and thrive in wet, dark spaces. Once you have identified a silverfish infestation, you can get rid of them by repelling them, trapping them, or making your household less hospitable.
However, if you keep pets at home, it is vital not to leave harmful pesticides lying around the house. In line with this, natural remedies offer a much better way of getting rid of these nasty bugs as soon as you notice an infestation. Below, we take a look at how to get rid of silverfish using 3 organic and natural ways as follows:
Needless to say, the first step in addressing any incidence of infestation is prevention. Therefore, ensure that you get rid of the types of food that silverfish thrive on i.e. old rotting books, loose paper, scratched or rough linens, and cardboard debris. And if you must keep such items around your household, make sure that they are kept in sealed containers.
Also, since these bugs love areas that are moist and warm such as the laundry room, basement, around pipes, and underneath sinks, always clean up any spills as soon as they occur and lookout for any moist spots in the house. Lastly, all drains, cracks, and vents should be sealed to not only keep silverfish away, but other types of pests as well.
Maintain a Clean Household
If you ask the folks at Kill Pests Yourself, they'll tell you that besides prevention, the next best way of keeping silverfish at bay is by maintaining a clean home. Ensure that there are no areas around your home with standing water and that garbage is regularly disposed. Additionally, the area underneath sinks should be kept dry and clean and if you have a basement, enlist the services of a plumber to ascertain that all pipes are sealed and there are no areas where these bugs can thrive.
Use Plants
Several plants have been known to act as a deterrent for silverfish with one of the best being camphor (from camphor tree) and which can also be synthesized to produce an insecticide. Rosemary is another great alternative as sachets of dried or fresh rosemary can be put in areas where the silverfish reside resulting in an exodus, preferably for good. Cucumber peels are also an effective deterrent owing to their strong odor which should make the silverfish vanish for good.

I am not really able to breastfeed him, since we supplemented at 3 weeks and he never went back to the breast, although he will suckle. I have never been able to pump enough milk for him. I will continue to pump for a year if I can get a decent amount. Here's the problem: I always wanted to breastfeed and never wanted to work full time his 1st year. Due to events beyond our control, I have to and he's getting formula. I worry that he won't bond to me b/c he doesn't bf and won't see me much, and I feel guilty about the F, b/c I know now that I should have handled the sit differenly.. My husband is losing patience w/ me. Please help!
