Alexa Meade:
Your body is my canvas
Alexa Meade takes an innovative approach to art. Not for her a life of sketching and stretching canvases. Instead, she selects a topic and then paints it—literally. She covers everything in a scene—people, chairs, food, you name it—in a mask of paint that mimics what's below it. In this eye-opening talk Meade shows off photographs of some of the more outlandish results, and shares a new project involving people, paint and milk.

Reviews of this property
My husband and two friends had a great stay at Jaime's apartment. Jaime set up for his friend Miguel to pick us up at the airport and it was absolutely perfect. So easy and a quick ride from the airport. The apartment is in a great location and was very comfortable for the four of us. Thank you for the hospitality!
Property as pictured, nice and clean. No TV so if you have kids may need some other form of entertainment for them at night. It does have good WiFi though. Kitchen has all you need to cook. Problem for us was the stairs, lots of them and having lots of luggage and 2 kids it was very difficult. The front bedroom was noisy at night as there is a bar downstairs and hard to sleep, back bedroom is fine. There is plenty of shops around to eat & shop and the train station is at the end of the street. Owner arranged a taxi to collect us at the airport, and take us back to airport which was very convenient.
Did not meet the owner, only a man who met us and explained everything to us. He did stay a while at the apartment explaining it all (we just wanted to change and rest up). Overall apartment was clean, just hard to go up & down stairs all the time. Location was great, close to everything you need.
Location was great - nearby we could find good restaurants and bars. Shops and markets were also close. Rambla was about 15 minutes walk and we would recommend visiting the Font Màgica de Montjuïc which is close. The show at the fountain was amazing.
With the help and advice of Jordi we could find and know all that´s necessary in Barcelona. Thank you!
Flat was big enough for 4 adults. Rooms were tidy and clean. Only thing missing was air conditioner - that would be our improvement suggestion to the owner. Prepare to walk some stairs before reaching the flat - no elevator in the building.
All in all - we had a great vacation in Barcelona :)
Very good location, in perfect condition and very attentive Jaime. Keep in mind not to pay for the city tax.
Muy buena ubicación, en perfecto estado y Jaime muy atento. Tener en cuenta que no hay que pagar por la tasa turística.
Image manipulation. The apartment will not meet the description.
The bathroom is very small, with an indescribable stench of urine.
The kitchen has what you need if you want to cook, but not a place I wanted to cook in.
The beds were too short (I am 190 high).
Not an occasion for once troubled.
Centrally located within walking distance to metro and various experiences.
Billed manipulation. Lejligheden lever slet ikke op til beskrivelsen.
Badeværelset er meget lille , med en ubeskrivelig stank af urin.
Køkkenet har det man skal bruge hvis man vil lave mad, men ikke et sted jeg havde lyst til at lave mad i.
Sengene var for korte ( jeg er 190 høj).
Ikke en lejlighed for gang besværede.
Centralt beliggende i gå afstand til metro og diverse oplevelser.
Fine and clean apartment. Good location near metro allowing you anywhere fast. In the description that you have everything within walking distance, but that was still a very short walk. A couple of small negatives were that the bathroom stunk and there were a lot of stairs to climb. It was also a disadvantage for us that we could not go anywhere luggage store on the day of departure since our plane departed later in the day. Contact was friendly and took the time to explain things well.
Prima en schoon appartement. Goede ligging, vlakbij metro waardoor je overal snel bent. In de omschrijving staat dat je alles op loopafstand is, maar dat was toch nog een heel eindje lopen. Een paar kleine minpunten waren dat de badkamer stonk en er flink wat trappen beklommen moesten worden. Het was voor ons ook een nadeel dat we de bagage niet ergens konden stallen op de dag van vertrek, aangezien ons vliegtuig pas later op de dag vertrok. Contactpersoon was vriendelijk en nam de tijd om dingen goed uit te leggen.
Ideally situated apartment, the owner's friend Tony is nice only downside the walls are very thin and was woken up by the sound of voinsins, street and work of da side apartments, the shower is small and the shower curtain is not practical at all. All amenities for me and my family over the apartment is very clean. We will definitely stay in this apartment.
Appartement idéalement situer, Tony l'ami du propriétaire est sympas seul bémol les murs sont très fin et ont est réveiller par le bruit des voinsins , de la rue et les travaux des appartements da côté, la douche est petite et le rideau de douche est pas pratique du tout. Toutes les commodités Pour ma famille et moi de plus l'appartement est très propre.,Nous reviendrons sûrement dans cette appartement.
+ Good location, flat enough for 4 people, comfortable beds, the night calm and quiet no noise.
- No TV, small bathroom, shower very uncomfortable.
+ Dobra lokalizacja ,mieszkanie wystarczające na 4 osoby ,wygodne łózka ,w nocy cisza i spokój żadnych hałasów .
- Brak TV , mała łazienka ,prysznic bardzo niewygodny .
Nothing to say. This excellent welcome and responds to the slightest worry. Parking is located in front of the apartment and is guarded.
Rien a redire. excellent accueil et répond présent au moindre soucis. Le parking est situé en face de l'appartement et est gardé.
We were fully satisfied with Jaimes Appartement. It was very good located near Metro and Bus Station. The Appartement was clean and big enough for 4 person and equipped with everything you need for a short trip to Barcelona. Jaime himself was not there but he sent contact information of somebody who received us in advance. It was a very good and friendly communication with Jaime. Everything was fine. We can recommend Jaimes Appartement.

text: Buying a perfect baby cloth is not a tough decision. Rather, buying a right baby dress is a fun and gratifying experience. However, they should be chosen with proper care. There are number of factors which determine which one to buy and which one is not buy. Of course, it depends on your taste and likings. However, there are some guidelines which you may follow to buy a good baby garment. You should buy baby clothes that are free from harmful chemicals. Organic cotton clothes are always good for the baby's health. You must buy the clothes that are easy to keep clean without using much chemical detergents. The garments should go well with the baby's skin. The fittings of the clothes should be perfect without risking putting the clothes on too firmly on baby's body. Comfort and happiness is the primary factor while considering when buying baby clothes. Do not buy the baby clothes with tiny glitters. Most of the time, these chemical glitters are harmful for the babies.

Windows 8 Pro will be available for download at 12:01 a.m.
Micosoft fans, the time has come -- Windows 8 will be available tonight at midnight, and you can pick it up via download or variety of new devices.
Microsoft sent out its official Windows 8 press release today announcing that the new operating system will be available at 12:01 a.m. on October 26. Alongside the Windows 8 launch will be the grand opening of the Windows Store, where customers can purchase apps for the latest OS.
Windows 8 Pro will be available to download
for $39.99 USD (Or $69.99 if you want it shipped to you). For those who would prefer to buy Windows 8 from retailers, there's the option to buy Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro. Companies can also buy Windows 8 Enterprise for all business needs.
Windows RT will also be available at 12:01. For those who aren't up to speed, Windows RT is a variation of Windows 8 that is specifically meant for ARM-based tablets. It was built for apps in the new Windows Store, such as Microsoft Office 2013.
According to Microsoft, there are over 1,000
certified PCs and tablets
that will feature its new OS. Some of these include the Dell XPS 10 convertible, the Acer Aspire S7-391, the
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13
and the
HP Envy TouchSmart Ultrabook 4
. These devices and more will be available at retailers such as Best Buy, Amazon and Staples.

If you bought a Windows 7 machine after June 2 and plan to buy one before January 31, 2013, customers in over 140 markets can download Windows 8 Pro for only $14.99 USD using the Windows Upgrade Offer
"We have reimagined Windows and the result is a stunning lineup of new PCs," said Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO. "Windows 8 brings together the best of the PC and the tablet. It works perfect for work and play and it is alive with your world. Every one of our customers will find a PC that they will absolutely love."
Windows 8 offers the new user interface (formerly called Metro UI) that has been a topic of debate amongst consumers and business folks. Some love the new colorful tiles while others say it is
more suitable for mobile devices like tablets only
Microsoft recently announced its
Surface tablet
, which is Microsoft-built hardware running the new Windows RT OS. The new tablet will
include a 10.6-inch display, an ARM-based processor (NVIDIA quad-core Tegra 3), 32GB or 64GB storage options, 2GB of memory, 1366x768 resolution, 720p rear- and front-facing cameras, a USB port and a microSDXC slot. Also, the tablet has a VaporMg magnesium casing and a built-in kickstand with the option to purchase a touch cover or type cover keyboard/screen protector.
It's $499 for the 32GB, $599 for the 32GB with touch cover, or $699 for the 64GB with touch cover
Microsoft co-founder
Bill Gates
was recently quoted saying that Windows 8 and the new Surface tablet are "incredible" products, and are "key to where personal computing is going."
"It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I'm okay with that." -- Microsoft COO Kevin Turner

University of Michigan graduate students are getting an enormous boost from the largesse of two wealthy benefactors. Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman Charles Munger, who attended the school in the 1940s, announced he is gifting $110 million in stock for graduate student housing. In March, Helen Zell, wife of billionaire Sam Zell, a real estate tycoon, pledged $50 million for the university's graduate writing program.
Munger's gift is the largest in the university's history. The new, eight-story graduate residence hall will be designed to foster collaboration among its 600 residents and will cost $185 million. The balance between the cost of the building and Munger's gift will be made up with lease revenue. Munger's gift also includes $10 million for student fellowships.
Chris Pizzinat, deputy director of the office of development at University of California, Santa Barbara, says that the economic downturn has resulted in renewed interest among philanthropists who want to help students. "Public higher education, in particular, has been hard-hit, and universities are raising tuition," he says. "As opposed to 20 years ago, when tuition rates were really low, today, while still a relative bargain compared to private universities, it's starting to be too expensive for students."
It's not uncommon for donors to gift stock to universities, says Nekita Nesmith, director of development at the University of Delaware College of Arts and Sciences. "A lot of people have depreciating stocks and rather than pay capital gains, they make one-time gifts to the university," she says. Nesmith says that other one-time gifts from individuals include real estate and artwork.
Aside from a desire to help future students, tax considerations are often a driving force behind charitable gifts. Individuals who donate cash can generally deduct the value of the gift, up to 50 percent of their adjusted gross income, or AGI. In-kind donations such as stock and real property will result in a deduction of up to 30 percent of AGI. Individuals earning $250,000 or more will get a reduced deduction, based on certain thresholds.

LOP woman critical after golf cart crash
June 27, 2013
A Lake of the Pines woman remains in critical condition after being injured in a golf cart crash Saturday night.
Aline Depew, 54, was a passenger in a four-seater golf cart being driven by Bernice Stine on Lakeshore North at about 6:45 p.m., according to California Highway Patrol Officer Greg Tassone.
There were two juveniles sitting in the rear of the cart, and everyone was wearing a seatbelt except for Depew, Tassone said.
Stine saw a deer on the road as she approached Shadow Drive, which she said appeared as if it might run further into the road.
She steered sharply to the left to avoid it, and Depew fell out of the cart on her back, striking her head on the roadway.
CHP officers, Higgins firefighters and ambulance personnel responded to the scene of the accident.
Depew sustained head trauma and was transported to the Higgins Fire Station, then was taken by helicopter to Sutter Roseville Medical Center.
A hospital spokeswoman said she was in critical condition Tuesday morning.
Drugs and alcohol are not suspected to be a contributing factor to the accident, Tassone said.
To contact City Editor Liz Kellar, email email@example.com or call 530-477-4229.

A Toast to the Russian River Valley
Applewood Inn • Guerneville, CA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two, Sundays through Thursdays, in the Arezzo, Firenze, Lucca, Massa, or Pisa Rooms ($175) or in the Grosseto, Livorno, Pistoia, or Prato Rooms ($195)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two, Fridays and Saturdays, in the Arezzo, Firenze, Lucca, Massa, or Pisa Rooms ($295) or in the Grosseto, Livorno, Pistoia, or Prato Rooms ($345)
- Daily Full Country Breakfast for Two
- $50 Credit Toward Dinner for Two at The Restaurant at Applewood
- $50 Credit Toward a Couples' Massage
- Wine Tasting Passport
The Destination
Napa may lure the tourists, but the Russian River Valley wine region—which falls within Sonoma County— accounts for roughly ten percent of grape varietals planted in the area and has been silently garnering a reputation for its Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. Here, vineyards in the misty countryside go about their business relatively undisturbed by tour buses and foot traffic, and the region recommends itself with superb cuisine and gorgeous scenery—take the majestic giants rooted in the cathedral-like Armstrong Redwood State Reserve, for instance.
The Digs
Mammoth redwoods stand guard around the secluded Applewood Inn, an award-winning Guerneville retreat that has appeared in more than 40 magazines and newspapers. Guest rooms are housed in three buildings, headlined by the 1922 Belden House, where a Mission-style stucco exterior conceals nine individually decorated chambers—each named for a town in Tuscany.
Mornings begin with a full country breakfast, after which guests are welcome to lounge by the outdoor pool or indulge in a therapeutic spa treatment. The Restaurant at Applewood Inn—awarded a Michelin star for the second straight year—has dropped many a gourmand's jaw with locally sourced dishes like pan-roasted Muscovy duck breast and cocoa nib-crusted rack of lamb. A glass of California wine from the cellar ensures every bite goes down smoothly.

Two nice little carry guns you got there. How do they shoot?

Two nice little carry guns you got there. How do they shoot?
thanks baldy, I think I have the pics posted correctly now....I love that Mil Pro 9mm, it's a sweet shooter and conceals easily. It has rougly 400 rounds through it so far and no malfunctions. I really haven't shot the .38 too much, only 50 rounds. I need to practice with it because I wasn't particularly accurate while shooting those 50.
Yep I like the looks of that Pro 9 for sure. Take your time with the that snubbie .38 and start out with the target no more than about 15 feet. When you start ragging the center of the target move it on back to about 25 feet and do it again. When you get to 10 to 15 yards and hitting the X and 10 ring you'll be a pretty good shot. It just takes a lot of practice. Just hang in there and good luck.
Like your snubby.....nice!
Two nice little guns - I've got an 85 and a PT140 - great little shooters and I take an extra bit of pleasure knowing I got them for good prices. I shoot more expensive guns, but Taurus gets it done for me too. Enjoy.

I have 2 hives that I have been feeding. One is a package that was hived in April and the other is a swarm that I captured in May. The package has really taken off and has full comb built in 2 brood boxes and 1 super. They have a lot of sugar water stored in the super and the brood boxes. Didn't have much of a bloom due to drought. The hived swarm is still building comb in their 2nd brood box and have some sugar water stored also.
I have stopped feeding the package due to the large quantity of sugar water stored. I am still feeding the hived swarm to try and get them built up a little more and let them build their comb.
Am I doing the right thing? Is it OK for them to have all this sugar water stored? Will it be enough for them to overwinter? Will the get a late flow now that it is raining and build up honey stores?

DiCaprio and Scorsese draw huge crowds at the film festival
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Academy Award winning director Martin Scorsese and 4-time Oscar nominated actor Leonardo DiCaprio arrived at the Arlington Theater Thursday night amid huge crowds. Fans lined the barricades hoping to get up close with two of Hollywood's' greatest.
The duo received the Santa Barbara International Film Festival's Cinema Vanguard Award in celebration of their film collaborations including their latest, The Wolf of Wall Street. Other films they've worked on together include The Aviator, The Departed, Gangs of New York, and Shutter Island.
There was a startling moment as DiCaprio was making his way to the red carpet. An out of control fan who was inside the press area with a press pass rushed the actor. He hugged DiCaprio tight right below the waist and wouldn't let go until security pulled him off and escorted him out. The startling moment didn't cause injury and didn't disrupt the tribute.
The Arlington Theater was overflowing with people anxious to hear from the two legends who spoke extensively about their friendship and body of work.
NewsChannel 3's Shirin Rajaee reports.

I've heard others describe but it's the first time for me to have a hive die mysteriously. A hive I started in 2006 recently died and I'm not sure why. The ground in front of the hive is covered with dead bees. There were a good number of dead bees on the bottom screen, and even a couple of live but barely moving bees. There were occasional deformed wings but it was not prevalent. There's dead brood in the cells, some looking like they died while emerging, others still capped and dead. There's also dead uncapped brood. There's plenty of capped honey, some uncapped and plenty of pollen. Something got the bees in the midst of an otherwise productive time.
Any thoughts? Is this another case of the mysterious colony collapse? It could well be that the bees were poisoned. There was no robbing of the hive, and though I did see a few small hive beetles, they were dead, and the honey appears to be untainted by SMH larvae.
I did see another post about a dead out and the comments pointed toward varroa mite overload. Still it's puzzling, the large pile of bees out front.

10000 m junior national record holder Megumi Kinukawa (Team Mizuno) has made a resounding comeback from over three years of injury and illness, running a nearly 20-second PB of 15:09.96 to win the Japanese National Track & Field Championships women's 5000 m and clear the World Championships A-standard. Coached by Takao Watanabe, the Sendai Ikuei H.S. head coach who took Samuel Wanjiru from being an average Kenyan teen to a half marathon and junior 10000 m world record holder and who left Sendai Ikuei to become her personal coach, Kinukawa has been quietly working her way back up this season and seemed as surprised as anybody in post-race interviews. "I thought that today if everything went OK I'd go for my PB [15:27.98], but the A-standard...." Written off by many as a casualty before her inspirational performance, Kinukawa's time makes her all-time #6 on the Japanese 5000 m lists and earned her a place on the Daegu team.
Kenyan Bitan Karoki (Team S&B) took the men's 5000 m with the same race strategy he used to win May's Cardinal Invitational 10000 m, jogging in the pack through 2000 m before dropping a 2:33 km to sail away to the win in 13:15.76. The two leading Japanese men of 2011, Kazuya Watanabe (Team Shikoku Denryoku) and 10000 m national champion Yuki Sato (Team Nissin Shokuhin) were left to battle it out for the domestic championship title, with Watanabe winning the sprint finish over Sato for the second time this season.
Hitomi Niiya (Chiba Pref.), 2011's leading Japanese woman prior to the race, took the race out fast, going from 75 seconds for the first lap to 70 seconds for the next. Not even her Kenyan former teammate Ann Karindi (Team Toyota Jidoshokki) could follow at that speed, but as Niiya pulled away Kinukawa likewise accelerated away from the pack. Slowing from national record to PB pace, Niiya's lead over Kinukawa stabilized at roughly 4 seconds. In the second half Niiya continued to slow as Kinukawa held steady, eating up the ground before surging past into the lead on the back straight before 4000 m. Finishing just three seconds off her PB in 15:20.35, Niiya was devastated post-race. Nevertheless, with a B-standard time she has a good chance of being put on the Daegu team alongside Kinukawa thanks to the younger runner's A-standard performance. Her coach Yoshio Koide commented via Twitter, "Niiya was great. She's gotten a lot stronger."

Colorado Springs council aide speaks out about Mayor
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A week ago, George Culpepper was willing to keep quiet for the sake of his family.
"I was offered $12,100 and health and dental benefits for three months if I would sign a non-disclosure agreement," Culpepper said.
The verbal offer, he says, came from Colorado Springs Human Resources Director Michael Sullivan shortly before Culpepper was set to go before the City Council to discuss why he was fired.
"I still upheld my end of the bargain if you will. I opted not to talk to you or anyone else about this issue," Culpepper said.
But days later, Culpepper was told the Mayor wasn't going to authorize the severance package.
It's why on Wednesday, Culpepper asked the City Council to hold a special meeting to discuss the firing.
"I was carrying out an assignment. Just like any other issue that was assigned to me that you asked me to do," Culpepper told the council members as he read from a statement.
It all surrounds a story KRDO Newschannel 13 broke on January 2nd, when the Colorado Springs Airport assistant manager told us that people could take marijuana on a plane.
Culpepper was asked to research that the next day. He reached out to Alaskan Airlines directly to see how such a policy would impact their relationship with the city. Mayor Steve Bach said Culpepper should have contacted Airport Managers instead. Days later, Culpepper was delivered papers to his door by courier telling him he was fired.
Culpepper believes the negative consequences weren't from his research, but rather who he was researching for.
"The real issue here is not what I said or did, but that I did it on your behalf," Culpepper told the council members. "This is a dynamic that I did not understand until I found myself as a political pawn that the mayor would use to get at you over the issue of whether the Council can or will ever have the right to assistance or advice independent of the Mayor."
Council members worry about the lack of control over the hiring and firing of members of their own staff. Currently the Mayor holds that power.
"We must have access to staff that can assist in the conduct of legislative duties without the constant fear that crossing the executive branch could at any time result in termination," said Councilman Joel Miller.
Council President Keith King says they will be looking to change the city charter so the council will have control over their own personnel. For now there is nothing they can do for employees like Culpepper.
Without a job that he moved his family from Cheyenne, WY, to take, Culpepper doesn't know if he'll have the money to hire an attorney to possibly sue the city. Not after Mayor Bach sent his case to an outside law firm.
"My hope is that the people of Colorado Springs, when they next have the opportunity, will choose honest leadership for its employees and community as a whole," Culpepper said through tears.

Mine is a soothing, medium blue. I've decorated with accent colors that "pop".... yellow, orange, green, white. I love it.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Mine is a soothing, medium blue. I've decorated with accent colors that "pop".... yellow, orange, green, white. I love it.
Try to figure out where you are putting your bookcases, your design wall, and what you really see when you walk in.
Do you want roll up blinds on the windows or curtains? If you have a wall that you do not see from the walk/in door, try to picture your bookcases there, that way you will not see them from the door. I tend to want my actual sewing table towards the middle of the room so you have ample room behind it for an additional table, to carry the bulk of the quilt or whatever you are working on. I would love a U-shaped one. More to think about!
Another one with pale yellow walls.
I have a basement sewing room with one window that faces NW. I have wood panelling on 2 walls, one day I will replace it with drywall, but not until we rewire the house as the electric box is in that room. The other walls and curtains are a pale buttery yellow. My floors are light grey painted concrete.
The pale yellow makes the room feel bright, even with just the overhead light turned on.
You mentioned coral, that would be nice too as long as it was light and did not interfere with colour perspective.
The sun gives off Yellow light, not white light, so anything we look at outdoors will have a yellow hue. This is why so many of us do not like LED or other pure white light, it is not natural. I do not worry about using pure white light to match colours, because I do not live in a pure white light world.
Attending University. I will graduate a year after my son and year before my daughter.
Since Yellow is my favorite color as well, IF I had a dedicated "sewing room" it would be yellow. However since I only have my eat in kitchen area, its a pale blue like the rest of the kitchen area. But my kitchen is blue & yellow so I still have some yellow in there. The walls are blue, with dishes, etc yellow .. & blue.
My sewing room is painted a light tan-ish color. Reason being, I don't want "color" interfering with my eye... when making fabric decisions.
Congratulations on finally having a room just for sewing!
I would stick with yellow. I'm currently in a yellow phase in my house and it seems to really brighten the place up and makes for a happy environment. Perfect for a sewing room.
Found this... made me think of all our color suggestions!
I just moved my sewing room and painted it a cheery yellow...because..it just makes me smile! As so many others have said, most of the walls are covered with white bookes...and I have white felt for a design wall.
Sewing right along........Martha
Right now my room is a bright yellow and has been that way for a long while. I never know for sure if I left the light on so I have to check once in a while. I will have to change it though. it gives me a chaotic feel once in a while. Go with what feels good to you. My next will probably be neutral.
butter yellow is the color of my sewing cave and I love it.....never used yellow in any room before, but this has convinced me to not be afraid of it elsewhere..........pure sunshine......

Movie Review: Seduced and Abandoned

Alec Baldwin, Martin Scorsese and more star in this hilarious documentary about the art and finances of filmmaking.

Director: James Toback
Rating: NR
Studio: Michael Mailer Films
Stars: Martin Scorsese, Ryan Gosling, Diane Kruger, Alec Baldwin
Screenwriter-director James Toback (Tyson; The Pick-Up Artist) and actor-badass Alec Baldwin make a sharp, hilarious and on-point team when they storm the Cannes Film Festival in Toback's consistently entertaining and exhilarating documentary about the often messy clash between the commerce and the art of moviemaking, Seduced and Abandoned.
Toback and Baldwin brought along a film crew when they hit last year's film festival/flea market with the notion of peddling themselves as director and star (along with Neve Campbell) of a sexy, biting, contemporized Last Tango in Paris—set during the occupation of Iraq. Although we're never told whether their Last Tango in Tikrit is for real or a goof, already we're laughing. It's fascinating to see who among the swarm of moguls, billionaires, self-promoters and shady rug salesmen that buzz around the world's biggest film market are willing to listen to their pitch, let alone actually pony up the financing. Featuring funny, insightful and often surprisingly candid interviews with Martin Scorsese, Ryan Gosling, Jessica Chastain, Roman Polanski, Bernardo Bertolucci, Berenice Bejo, Diane Kruger and James Caan, among others, Seduced and Abandoned gets right to the nub of why some films do and don't get funded and why they often get mauled and trivialized along the way. But it goes deeper, touching on topics like critical reputations and even death.
If Seduced and Abandoned doesn't hit an international theater somewhere near you, catch it on HBO on October 28. It's a funny, beautiful love letter to the zanies, dreamers, artists and prophets who persist in making movies against all odds.

Played better last night . . .
I wouldn't say that Eli played better than Rodgers had all year in 2011, but when Eli "beat Rodgers down" in the playoffs, he surpassed him in the minds of Giants fans.
I stated this a few months back when this board was completely bent over kissing Robert Griifin's butt. That poster who went nuts the night the Giants got eliminated was ragging on me for taking a wait and see perspective with Griffin and because no other posters were agreeing with me he said that essentially proved that I was wrong about Griffin.
I then said since there's no minimum time limit needed to be considered UNBELIEVABLY LEAGUE CHANGING GREAT!!! we should all just put Kaepernick in the HOF fame now.
Then he called me an idiot.
Good times.
Do I think Flacco is better than Brady, Manning, Eli, etc.? Hell no.
Do I think that our reasoning for Eli being the best QB in the league after last year's SB win was iffy at best? Bingo.
Eli is a top 5 QB, and while it's fine to believe that he's better than Brady, or Rodgers, or Brees, or anyone, claiming that it's because the Giants beat the Packers, or the Patriots, or the Saints, is not the way to do it.
The Ravens beat the Broncos, the Giants, and the Patriots (twice this year), that shouldn't mean that their QB is better than all of those teams' QBs. And while people, most at least, would agree with me on this point, that certainly wasn't the case last offseason.
You're asking why Flacco isn't considered Elite after beating Brady, but Eli is (even though a ton of people still claim that he isn't)
When Flacco has 2 SB's and 2 SB MVP's, and people are STILL saying he isn't elite, then and only then does you analogy make any sense. But as of now he has exactly ZERO, so the Eli analogy is completely moot.

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment in Prague, we were welcomed and guided trought the apartment and could get answeres to all our questions by Andrew as well as get som extra tips about the city. The apartment was also well cleaned and in nice shape, all we could ask for!
The flat is ideally situated, no more than 10 minutes from the city center. The host is very friendly and ready to help whenever needed. The flat is very clean and has all what you need, comfortable beds, comprehensive kitchen and bathroom...
It was sometimes slightly noisy, but it's the price to live near the city-center.
Altogether an excellent experience in this beautiful city!
The apartment is great and just perfect! It's very clean and neat and is equipped well. Andrew and Jakub were exactely on time and are very nice people who know their city and are happy to assist with any questions. We'd come back any time.
Andrew is a nice and friendly host, app. is located very well.
Cutlery was a bit dirty at arrival. Kingsize bed is very nice, but the blankets are a bitt small (for tall persons like 1.95 mtr). Too bad because the bed slept very well.
Andrew was super nice and helpful! He gave us the right tips on how to enjoy a beautiful city like Prague! The apartment is very cozy, well located between Prague1 and Prague2. I would recommend his apartment to anyone!
Andy was extremely helpful. Flat is like on picture all great . Highly recommend
Andrew is so nice and helpful its worth it to stay there to meet him! The apartment is very well located. It has all you need to cook, wash and dry your clothes. The bed is confortable. You don't need anything else.
We were 4 persons on a very nice trip to Prag in week 14 2014. The apartment was very fine and clean. Andy gave us many informations about Prag in the week with sms. It was super. The apartment is very near to allthings in Prag. There is very many resturants near Miru just 5 min. walk and they are good and the prices low. So in all it has been a super stay.
Linda, Bjarne, Henny & Per
Ps: Do use this apartment.
Andrew is a nice host and attends well to his guests. The apartment was comfortable and looked just as described and photographed. The location is awesome - walking distance to everything in Prague's centre. As a couple we had a pleasant time there (also thanks to Andy's insights where to go/what to see). We can definitely recommend this accommodation to anyone going to Prague.
Andrew was a fantastic host.
He took time to tell is where and what's.
His view of where to go to meet the locals was specific and helped us alot.
The apartment was fantastic, and the location was just perfect. 4 min walk to the nearest metro.
Will stay there again next time.
Thx Andrew

Wikipedia About Jeff Koons
biography Jeff Koons, Let's Entertain: Life's Guilty Pleasures 2000
Since his emergence in the 1980s Jeff Koons has blended the concerns and methods of Pop, Conceptual, and appropriation art with craft-making and popular culture to create his own unique art iconography, often controversial and always engaging. His work explores contemporary obsessions with sex and desire; race and gender; and celebrity, media, commerce, and fame. A self-proclaimed "idea man," Koons hires artisans and technicians to make the actual works. For him, the hand of the artist is not the important issue: "Art is really just communication of something and the more archetypal it is, the more communicative it is." Let's Entertain features Buster Keaton (1986), a painted wood sculpture, exaggerated in scale and hinting at rococo, that is really a seamless collage of banal images from mass culture. Keaton's haunted, melancholy gaze seems to be searching for something, but we are left wondering what that might be. With a common material that the artist sees as connected to the "security of religion" and a subject that is definitively kitsch, this work is a comment on social hierarchy through the signifier of taste. Seemingly familiar, beautiful, and slightly absurd all at once, Buster Keaton gives visual pleasure to the audience, perhaps a guilty pleasure, at the same time as it questions monuments, reproductions, and taste, art and artifice, high and low. Koons has had a significant impact on a number of artists included in this exhibition. His retrospective Jeff Koons traveled to the Walker Art Center in 1993, and he was represented in the 1997 Venice Biennale.

from WeaponsGuild we wanted to share this with all of our fellow building sites.... its something we have put into place there & want to share it with all the GOOD sites in our hobby. Help us protect the hobby we love.
or if your not a member or dont want to go look ... heres the text of it:
Just a little notice to EVERYONE..... VENDORS & MEMBERS.
Price Gouging will not be tolerated here on WG. We shouldnt even have to put this message up, but in order to save some of you from yourself we are....
In light of the recent tragedy the market for our hobby has went wild with people panic buying and so on.
Sure thats expected. Flat out gouging your fellow members or flow busting the prices to make a quick $$ is not only completely against what we do here. It shows a total lack of respect for EVERYONE, not just the members here... but even the people/children who lost their lives.
Its tasteless, classless & something the WG website will have no part of.
We all understand markert changes & that the Vendors are business's.... Thats all well and good. The markets on our "stuff" have been increasing at a base rate that any of us can follow over the last several years. Thats expected & accepted. no problem at all.
The overnite switch to where some people think they are going to gouge other members here for tons of money is NOT going to happen.
Take it to gunbroker or guns america or a site that doesnt care about its members.
Likewise in the bad sales sections we will be allowing the members to list outfits/companies/people who have suddenly decided to gouge our members so that others can avoid them.
when you do this.... you need PROOF! & an actual ad, photo of it or link to it. so & so said is not going to be good enough on this.
The world may be made for capatilists, but WG is not. Its made for the members.
*NOTE: we are going to share this message with other sites and hope that they also will take a stand to help keep the hobby in check & integrity.
this will obviously not make some people happy, but just to be honest about it? thats the type of people we dont need anyway.
Hate takes LESS energy & thought... Dont be so Lazy.
Building or Bitching? which are you here to do?
YES, i work for TEC Tactical. 02/07 SOT

Sounds exactly like woodey who committed 30 80% AR receivers for our group buy, then reneged and is selling them on gunbroker for $175. He will never be allowed to sell here again.
hopefully dutigaf ( sean) will do the same with Woody over on weaponsguild
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
Thanks for sharing this - it is reassuring to see that posted. Very nice to know that not everyone is panic buying... I was starting to feel like I was the only one NOT panic buying something!
Question - I've never heard the term "flow busting" before... what does that mean?

Name 'em and shame 'em: More than 100 filmmakers sign petition defending child rapist
posted at 8:16 pm on September 29, 2009 by Allahpundit
Most are European and unfamiliar, but among the people whose movies I'll never watch again: Jonathan Demme, John Landis, Michael Mann, Martin Scorsese, and, bless his heart, Woody Allen, who I guess was forced to sign lest the press seize on the idea of a guy who married his almost-stepdaughter passing judgment on Polanski. Open question to any of these rape-defending turds: How far would you have let Polanski go before deciding that, hey, he probably should serve some time after all? What if he punched the kid in the face when he was raping her? Beat her with a tire iron? Seriously, how far?
Lest you think that this is about anything other than some perverse droit de seigneur for talented artists, here's how the petition phrases the signatories' deep moral objection to arresting this guy:
By their extraterritorial nature, film festivals the world over have always permitted works to be shown and for filmmakers to present them freely and safely, even when certain States opposed this.
The arrest of Roman Polanski in a neutral country, where he assumed he could travel without hindrance, undermines this tradition: it opens the way for actions of which no one can know the effects.
Roman Polanski is a French citizen, a renown and international artist now facing extradition. This extradition, if it takes place, will be heavy in consequences and will take away his freedom.
They're explicitly calling for film festivals to be treated as de facto international waters, above the laws of any sovereign land and beyond the reach of any cop, even if that cop is in the area looking for … a fugitive who raped a kid. And the beat goes on: Polish filmmakers are calling his arrest a "judicial lynching" and a separate petition organized by a French philosopher objects to this degenerate being pinched like, and I quote, "a common terrorist." This entire story comes back to that word "common," doesn't it?
Even HuffPo's commenters can't believe there are people on the site defending Polanski. Keep punching yourself in the eye, Hollywood; the blacker and more bruised it is, the better. Exit fun fact: Which poor, persecuted, misunderstood genius once said this?
"If I had killed somebody, it wouldn't have had so much appeal to the press, you see? But… f—ing, you see, and the young girls. Judges want to f— young girls. Juries want to f— young girls. Everyone wants to f— young girls!"
Update: A Jesuit priest wonders, what if it were Father Polanski who'd raped a kid? "Entertainment, not religion, is the new opiate of the people and we don't want our supply disturbed."

Is a big belly bad for the brain? Examining body fat's ties to dementiaApril 1, 2009
Belly fat may be bad for your brain. A number of recent studies, widely publicized in the media, have suggested that excess adipose tissue (body fat), particularly around the belly, during a person's midlife years may increase the risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), during old age. AD is the most common type of dementia among older people.
Just how adipose tissue and its many chemical components may affect the brain is a complex story that researchers are eagerly investigating, with support from the National Institute on Aging (NIA).
"We have two very serious public health burdens—Alzheimer's disease and obesity—and if they interact so that one accentuates the other, then this is obviously a significant crisis," says Dr. Suzana Petanceska, a program director in the NIA's Division of Neuroscience. "This is very important to know because if metabolic abnormalities associated with obesity do indeed harm the brain, and we are able to understand how that happens, there is great potential for intervention."
"Several epidemiological studies already show an association between body mass index (BMI) and dementia," says Dr. Lenore Launer, chief of NIA's Neuroepidemiology Section of the Laboratory of Epidemiology, Demography, and Biometry. (BMI is a measurement of body fat relative to height and weight.) In support of these findings, there are also "a lot of interesting new experimental data on proteins such as leptin that are involved in obesity and may indeed be involved in the physiology of brain changes," Dr. Launer says. "It's an exciting area that needs to be explored."
The epidemiological evidence
At first, researchers did not consider obesity to be an independent risk factor for dementia—separate from the conditions obesity spawns, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Numerous studies have linked both diabetes and cardiovascular disease to dementia. In the early 2000s, researchers turned their attention to obesity itself as an independent threat to the brain.
With support from NIA, Dr. Deborah Gustafson, Associate Professor, Neuropsychiatric Epidemiology Unit, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and her colleagues analyzed data on dementia incidence in 290 Swedish women who were age 70 at the beginning of the study. Women who developed dementia in their 80s had an average BMI at age 70 that was 2 units (kg/m2) higher than that of women in their 80s who did not develop dementia. Imaging studies of women in another population study in Gothenburg showed that those with atrophy in their brains' temporal lobes were likely to have higher BMIs.
Since then, imaging studies have "convincingly demonstrated both generalized and regional brain atrophy and changes in white matter in association with obesity," writes Dr. William Jagust, a neurologist at the University of California, Berkeley, in the special issue on obesity and dementia of Current Alzheimer Research (April 2007).
Location, location, location
Research on the biology of fat has shown that there are several types of adipose tissue. Belly fat, also known as visceral fat, is the most damaging type. It wraps itself around organs, makes the abdomen protrude, and produces molecules that can pass into and interact with the brain. Compared with generalized obesity, excess visceral fat is a bigger risk factor for type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, heart disease, stroke, and premature death, studies show. The fat that coats the hips and thighs, called subcutaneous fat, lies just below the skin and is benign in comparison.
In 2008, an NIA-funded study found that middle-aged people with large bellies are more likely than are their flat-bellied contemporaries to develop Alzheimer's later in life. Epidemiologist Dr. Rachel A. Whitmer, Kaiser Permanente Division of Research, Oakland, CA, and her co-investigators analyzed epidemiological data collected on 6,583 Kaiser members, ages 40 to 45. Almost 16 percent of the entire group developed dementia.
How to measure belly fat
There are many ways to measure belly fat. Researchers may use large calipers to measure abdominal diameter, which is the distance from the back to the front of the belly. An abdominal diameter of more than 9.8 inches (25 cm) is considered obese. Scientists also may use imaging devices to get a thorough picture of belly fat. Another good tool for determining central obesity around the waist is a measuring tape. Central obesity is defined as more than 35 inches (89 cm) for women and more than 40 inches (102 cm) for men, but anything over 31.5 inches (80 cm) for women and over 37 inches (94 cm) for men may be a red flag of future health problems, says NIA's Dr. Petanceska.
Study participants in the top third for belly size had a threefold greater risk of dementia than participants in the bottom third had, even after researchers controlled for other factors, like diabetes, that increase a person's risk for developing Alzheimer's. Some participants had a normal BMI and a large belly. They probably weighed less because they had little muscle in their arms and legs or had low bone density, Dr. Whitmer explains. But, they too were more likely than the flat-bellied participants were to develop dementia.
Effects of belly fat
"The more we understand about adipose tissue, the clearer it becomes that belly fat is its own disease-generating organism," says Dr. Launer. "Your fat is a very active endocrine organ that has a life of its own," Dr. Petanceska explains. As part of that life, it interacts with many other systems in the body. "How it interacts with the brain may profoundly inform us about brain aging and Alzheimer's," she adds.
We normally associate the changes that belly fat initiates with aging, so some researchers suggest that fat may accelerate the aging process. For example, visceral fat increases a person's risk of developing insulin resistance, to which older people are more prone than are younger people. Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body cannot use insulin properly. This condition typically leads to high levels of insulin in the blood, yet low levels of insulin activity in the brain. NIA-funded studies, including work by Dr. Suzanne Craft, VA Puget Sound Healthcare System and the University of Washington, Seattle, indicate a correlation between insulin resistance and the risk of age-related memory impairment and Alzheimer's disease.
Belly fat churns out a host of hormones, including cortisol and glucocorticoids known as stress hormones, which normally increase with age as well as during stress and are believed to affect cognition. The hippocampus, one of the main areas of the brain affected in AD, is rich in receptors for glucocorticoids. An elevated level of cortisol "has been linked to hippocampal atrophy in humans," writes Dr. Jagust.
The brains of AD patients show many signs of chronic inflammation. In addition, elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the blood have been associated with a greater degree of age-related cognitive decline. Many of the substances produced by adipose tissue, known as adipokines, serve as mediators of inflammation (i.e., cytokines). The white adipose tissue that makes belly fat secretes cytokines that fuel and maintain a state of chronic inflammation, which is harmful to the body and may be one of the ways by which belly fat can accelerate brain aging and cause brain dysfunction.
Future research on obesity and dementia
Remaining questions
In an obesity and dementia special issue of Current Alzheimer Research, Dr. Petanceska posed the following questions that NIA is addressing or will address:
- Does metabolic syndrome (the combination of high triglycerides, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugars, and excess belly fat) alter normal brain aging and the transition from normal aging to AD? If so, how?
- Do the different conditions that make up metabolic syndrome interact to accelerate normal brain aging? If so, what are the mechanisms?
- How do obesity, hypertension, high blood cholesterol and triglycerides, and inflammation affect the brain's microvasculature, the dense and intricate web of small blood vessels that provides nutrients and oxygen to the brain and enables the proper functioning of neurons?
- Does being underfed or overfed as a baby and during childhood influence how the brain ages?
- Do stresses very early in life, or even before birth, affect a person's risk of developing late-onset AD? If so, do those stresses act indirectly on our DNA, altering the way our genes work?
- What is the effect of elevated stress hormones, such as glucocorticoids, as we age? Do they influence how metabolic changes in the body affect brain aging and the development of AD-related changes in the brain?
- If some of the conditions of metabolic syndrome contribute to development of AD, what should treatments target?
NIA-supported initiatives
Multidisciplinary workshop
In September 2008, the NIA convened a 2-day multidisciplinary workshop that brought together basic research scientists, epidemiologists, and clinicians from academia and the pharmaceutical industry, as well as representatives from other institutes within the NIH. The participants at this exploratory workshop critically appraised the current state of knowledge on obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cognition as it relates to AD. The workshop generated a number of new ideas as to how this complex subject can be addressed to advance our understanding and treatment of AD.
Other research directions
"What interests me is how changes in the brain's structure and function relate to the body's composition, such as levels of visceral and subcutaneous fat," says Dr. Launer. In 2002, she and colleagues began a large epidemiological study (the Age, Gene/Environment Susceptibility-Reykjavik Study) looking at that question.
"We are doing a lot of work in my lab using PET scans to measure how much amyloid, a major pathological hallmark of AD, is in the brain," Dr. Jagust says. "An important question is whether obesity intensifies the effect of amyloid or results in more amyloid being deposited. That's a question that I think someone will answer sooner or later with this imaging technology."
"To gain a better understanding of AD, we need to begin thinking 'outside of the brain,'" Dr. Petanceska writes in her editorial in Current Alzheimer Research, "so we can better understand the relationship between the health of the body and the health of the brain." Moving forward, she suggests, investigators also need to apply a lifespan research approach, because changes that occur early in childhood and even during prenatal development may trigger more changes leading to the late-life expression of AD.
Another avenue of research could look at whether excess weight leaves its mark after a person "quits," as smoking does, or whether losing the fat also removes the risk for AD.
"We are going to look at that question next," says Dr. Whitmer. Weight loss greatly lowers a person's risk of diabetes and other diseases, so it makes sense that it would reduce the risk of dementia, she says. The other good news is that visceral fat comes off first when people lose weight.

But at ChildFund, we're all too aware of the threats that are much more real and much more frightening to children living in developing countries.
Few things are scarier than unsafe drinking water, hunger, diseases and even a lack of education. Here are the frightening statistics:

We've not been to Italy -- yet -- but have done four 5-week bike touring trips into the French Alps and vicinity in the past five years. All very worthwhile. Bike touring there, we found something new and interesting around every corner -- fueled by fresh breads, pastries (first thing in the morning, they might still be warm) and cheeses (none of the cheeses are orange).
