(No. 395 - December 28, 2011 - 4 p.m. ET) The Honourable Diane Ablonczy, Minister of State of Foreign Affairs (Americas and Consular Affairs), today issued the following statement reminding Canadians of the importance of careful planning for safe travel and what consular officials can and cannot do:
"During this holiday season, the many Canadians travelling abroad are reminded to be proactive in reducing the risks and increasing the chances of having a safe and enjoyable trip. Consular services are available in more than 150 countries around the world, it is important for Canadians to know which services we do and do not provide.
"Our consular website offers advice for planning a safe trip, including Travel reports and warnings for more than 200 countries, the Traveller's Checklist and tips for travelling with children.
"Consular Officials CAN:
- Provide advice and information for medical services.
- Contact relatives or friends when you need serious help.
- Provide sources of information for local laws and customs.
- Replace lost or stolen passports.
"Consular Officials CANNOT:
- Ask your mother-in-law to leave your house.
- Purchase tickets for a musical or entertainment event.
- Settle disputes between you and your partner.
- Pick up your dog at the airport.
"Travelling anywhere involves a degree of risk, but this risk can be lessened with a little advance planning. Our government encourages Canadians going abroad to observe the 3 Rs of international travel:
- Read up on relevant topics such as safety, security and local laws in the destination country by consulting our travel reports and warnings.
- Register with the Registration of Canadians Abroad service, which lets us contact and assist Canadians in the event of emergency.
- Reach us at our Emergency Operations Centre in Ottawa if a Canadian experiences problems abroad.
"Safe and secure travel is primarily the responsibility of travellers. However, when travellers find themselves in situations beyond their control, Canadian officials are there to help."

Backgrounder - Canadian Consular Services

Tales from the consular front lines
A family called about their son, who had been arrested for trafficking drugs in Germany. They wanted to know if the Government of Canada was planning to send a helicopter into the prison yard to rescue him. They were very surprised to learn this wasn't a service provided.
For more information, please visit Drugs and Travel.
An U.S. citizen called wanting to know how she could get a Canadian passport. When told she could not get one, because she was not a Canadian citizen, she said that she thought an American going to Canada needed a Canadian passport.
For more information, please visit Passports.
A Canadian citizen visiting Chicago wanted to know if consular officers could get tickets for The Oprah Winfrey Show. Another Canadian, flying into London, wanted to see a play that was ending that night and asked consular officers to line up that morning for cheap, same-day tickets.
A Canadian asked the Embassy in Beijing if someone could come and pick up his dog at the Beijing airport after the dog was refused boarding due to lack of proper paperwork. He wanted consular officers to pick up the dog and take care of it until he could get things sorted out—and he did not want to miss his flight and lose the ticket.
A Canadian citizen living abroad had an argument with his girlfriend, after which she kicked him out. He wanted consular officials to talk to the girlfriend and negotiate his return home.
A Canadian living in Cairo asked consular officials to escort her mother-in-law out of the Canadian woman's apartment.
In medical emergencies, consular officials can:
- provide a list of local doctors and hospitals;
- contact next of kin, with authorization, if there has been an accident;

However, consular officials cannot:
- interfere in a local investigation or legal matter or investigate a crime;
- intervene in private legal matters;
- provide legal advice, post bail or pay fines or legal fees;
- get Canadians out of prison; or
- ask local authorities to give preferential treatment to Canadians.
Consular officials can:

(Jaya, Malasah, Malasia, Malaysia, Melasia)Jayna Oso was born in Malaysia and moved to Hawaii where she did most of her growing up. She settled eventually near Los Angeles, California and at 20 was working as a stripper. She was approached by a man in the club one evening who asked her if she had ever considered working in the porn business. She was curious about it and decided to give it a try and so began her career in adult movies. One of her very first movie performances was for West Coast Productions and was called "Cute Exotic Girls 5" and was directed by Bubba G. in 2002. She appears in scene two and performs a hot blowjob and fuck scene, including even anal sex, capped with a facialcumshot like so many scenes are. Another early film was "There's Something About Jack 20" starring Jack Napier. It's one of her first interracial movies and she performs in scene two again but this time it's a threesome with female costar Honey Bunny and Jack. Jayna says in an interview that once the camera starts rolling she just transforms into a pornstar who wants to fuck. She admits to having always loved the feeling of being naked and adding sex and cameras just makes it too hot to resist for her. She took home several awards during her career including the XRCO Superslut award in 2004. Her AVN award nominations for that year include Best Three-Way Sex Scene for the movie "The Voyeur 24", and Most Outrageous Sex Scene for her performance in the movie "Lewd Conduct 17." The following year saw her rake in several more nominations in the categories of Best Anal Sex Scene, Best Oral Sex Scene, Best Three-Way Sex Scene and finally Female Performer of the Year. Jayna Oso is said to have retired from the adult movie industry in 2012 though she does perform in several compilation films that year, and one new release as well. Her fans hope it's just a short break and that Jayna gets back to performing in more hot adult movies before too much longer.

Well, if you didn't figure it out already, my name is John Luetke. I'm a Northern California native who did a stint in Wisconsin and now lives in Seattle. I'm a software developer most interested in the programming branch of the Computer Science (Software Engineering), which takes the theories and research of the traditional Computer Scientists and applies them to real-world computational and (mostly) business problems. I tend to think of myself as a code monkey, however Urban Dictionary's definition isn't very flattering. I throughly enjoy writing code, but I also enjoy the architecture, design and lifecycle of software.
I received my bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Marquette University [where?] (the stint in WI) in 2010. I was then offered a job in the most technologically ept (and green) city in the US. I've been living here ever since, and have been enjoying every day of it.
I break the stereotype of the typical computer nerd. I'm anything but your scrawny, red-glasses wearing nerd that sits in front of there computer day and night (Okay, I wear glasses, but at least they aren't thick-framed and red). But once a sit down and start a project, I tend to finish it then and there. Two exceptions to this are when I've been working at a program for a long time, and need a break just to get my conscious mind off of it (cue the a-ha moment), or when I have a previous commitment. Yep! I'm a nerd with a social life!
My job in Seattle is with Liberty Mutual; I develop and support claims software under the Safeco brand. My dealing's are mostly with the .NET framework and the languages that it supports (primarily C#), but sometimes get to dabble in my Java roots or go out on a limb reading (not writing) COBOL.
At Marquette, I worked for Student Media as the Interactive Director–student worker in charge of the websites of every outlet of Student Media. I like to think of Web programming as my niche. I'm a self-proclaimed PHP guru-in-the-making (you never can know everything). It's easily the computer language that I am most proficient in.
My second job at Marquette was with the Office of Residence Life as a Resident Assistant. That link pretty much hits the nail on the head with a definition of the day-to-day happenings, but it was an extremely rewarding experience. I was also responsible for developing a community between the ~33 freshmen from every corner of the country (mostly Chicagoland) that I lived among.

Can You Guess This Douchebag?
Now this shouldn't be that hard for you to guess, but he's totally one of the weirdest people in Hollywood and split from his wife and FRIEND this year…
Think you know who it is?
If you guessed David Arquette, well you'd be correct. He was pictured with a crew of Oompa Loompas and silver-painted men at a private party in Miami Beach before his show at "Arquette and Beacher's Madhouse."
In some of the photos his zipper is undone – symbolic, right? – and while he wished the photographer a Happy New Year, he then told him not to sell any photos of him smoking and then eventually yelled at the guy and told him to get lost.
Turns on a dime, doesn't he?

New! Check out our review of the DeLonghi EC702 espresso machine
Welcome to my review of the Nespresso D290 espresso and coffee machine. It's currently one of the most popular machines available online.
The Nespresso Concept Automatic D290 Machine is an espresso machine and a coffee maker, and is a part of Nespresso's Concept Line, which means it is designed with a practical, modern, and logistical design in both style and function.
It's programmable and has a five cup capacity, using coffee filled capsules in its espresso pod. Available with a three year warranty, the Nespresso D290's generally sells for around $399
Click here to buy Nespresso machines at Amazon with FREE shipping
Features of the Nespresso D290 Machine include a high pressure pump, a thermobloc feature that heats water to temperatures of between 187 degrees and 196 degrees, and empties any remaining water.
One system punctures the capsule and soaks coffee, then filters it. It has a functional Jaw system aiding in simple preparation, and automatically ejects used capsules. The machine comes with a removable 34 ounce water container and also automatically controls the amount of coffee in each prepared cup.
- Easy to use and clean
- High pressured pump pulls strong aromas and flavors
- Strong coffee flavors
- Uses capsules, available in 16 flavors
- Frothing wand
- Can't use third party pods
- Machine's pods sometimes difficult to find
- No adjustable height for spout
Watch The Nespresso D290 in action
This product is best for those willing to spend extra for a stylish design, or those valuing look over function. A good choice for those who are more coffee drinkers than espresso drinkers, but who still want a multi-functional coffeemaker. Great for those loyal to certain flavors.
Consider this machine if you have got a little extra to spend on a luxury coffee maker/espresso machine, and if you know flavors you like. If you want a machine with convenient features, this is the one. Perfect if you want a coffee maker and only the espresso option occasionally.
"I'm addicted to the machine, the espresso it makes, and have been for about five years now. I've made about 5,000 cups of espresso with this, and generally have two to three a day, and I love the machine and the espresso. It's a super "on demand" coffeemaker, and the results are real!"~Daniel Lebryk (paraphrased for brevity. Read the full review here)
"This machine is the best I've bought in my life, and I've bought machines from $200 to $1,500, and this is my fave. The milk frothing is amazing and isn't like anything I have ever seen. The machine comes with aerocino and I am nuts about that as well." ~S. Kline (paraphrased for brevity. Read the full review here)

after talking to a few tyre places i have been told fitting toyo t1r will help the tramling problem. is any one using toyo tr1 and if so what are thay like on your z3
i have herd that fitting a stiffer ARB will stop tram-lining
is have a 25mm one that the mo i have new arb bushes polly ones to put in worth a try like
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/H-R-ANTI-ROLL-...item2a118c9f93 have a look at this one m8 H&R are the best
just had a look now it dont say how think thay are. i no my front bar is 25mm thick. have mailed the guy to find out the tramlinig is bad makes me not want to drive the car and use my van insted .. i have anti role bar polly bushed to go on and the front ball joints are being changed to and a strut brace to go on if that dont work then maybe i will try the thicker bars after that. also some one told me i should be running 29psi am running 32 i think at the mo wheels are 18 inch
have you had a wheel allignment?
front control arm bushes ok?
on my first e36 these went soft and caused bad tramlining - polybushes sorted that
uprated arb's are an essential on all bmw's in my experience. As for toyos they aren't that great for that sort of money try Vredsteins.
update had ball joints done wheel allignment with a bit of toe in polly bushes on anti roll bar and fitted strut brace problem fixed so much better and the strut brace made a massive change in cornering all z3 people need to fit a strut brace 100%

Seed of Chucky
Page Tools
(MA) General release
Chucky, the toy with the soul of a serial killer from Child's Play (1988) returns, for his fifth outing, with his equally homicidal bride doll, Tiffany (from the fourth instalment), and a surprise heir - a melancholy, androgynous ventriloquist's dummy haunted by bloody dreams.
The melancholy dummy (voiced by Billy Boyd of Lord of the Rings) becomes convinced that the duo are his parents, and seeks them out. The meeting is complicated by their confusion about the gender of their child - is Chucky and Tiffany's heir a son to be called Glen, or a daughter to be named Glenda, and will Glen/ Glenda inherit their murderous proclivities?
When movie franchises start to falter, they get self-referential: much of Seed of Chucky - written and directed by Chucky's creator, Don Mancini - revolves around a film within a film, a new Chucky vehicle in which the two dolls are starring. In Seed of Chucky, Jennifer Tilly plays "herself" as a chocolate-snacking actress, still smarting about missing out on Erin Brockovich, starring in the Chucky vehicle and desperate to advance her now-flagging career.
The film is larded with these kinds of references: an appearance from a Britney Spears' lookalike, a quotation from Rebel Without a Cause, nods to Ed Wood and Fangoria magazine, a nifty gesture towards The Shining and references to the Wachowski Brothers' first feature, Bound.
Meanwhile, Chucky and Tiffany - once again gleefully voiced by Brad Dourif and Tilly - try to deal with homicidal impulses and parenting issues, and start working on a plan that involves artificial insemination and voodoo births.
The Child's Play franchise has a new character, but this isn't a horror movie: it's a bloody, bad-taste trash comedy with a couple of nice lines, but not enough of them to hide the fact that the self-referential tactic is a little tired, Hollywood spoofs are everywhere and there's always something a little depressing about actors "gallantly" agreeing to playing desperate versions of themselves.

Television: TBS (Tim Brando and Mike Gminski; Producer: Ross Schneiderman).
Pitt Radio: Panther Sports Radio Network (Bill Hillgrove and Dick Groat), 93.7 The Fan, 93.7 FM; Satellite Radio: Sirius/XM: 91/244(Pitt feed).
Internet Radio Broadcast/Live Stats: www.pittsburghpanthers.com.
Pitt Coach: Pitt: Jamie Dixon, 12th year at Pitt, 8th year as head coach (216-59).
Rankings: Pitt: AP-3; ESPN-3 (as of March 7, 2011).
NCAA Tourney Notes: Pitt is playing in its 10th consecutive NCAA Tournament. Pitt earns a No. 1 seed for only the second time in program history (2009). Pitt is one of only seven programs nationally to advance to each of the last 10 NCAA Tournaments. The 10 NCAA tourney appearances for Pitt rank as the nation's seventh longest current streak. In addition, the Panthers have advanced to five of the last nine NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen rounds. Pitt's 14 NCAA Tournament victories rank as the eighth most nationally from 2002-10.
WASHINGTON, D.C.--No. 1 seed and Big East regular season champion Pitt (28-5, 15-3 Big East) advances to the NCAA Tournament Third Round to play No. 8 seed and Horizon League champion Butler (24-9, 13-5 H.L.) on Saturday at Washington D.C.'s Verizon Center. Pitt's contest will be Saturday's first of a doubleheader at Washington D.C. with tipoff set for 7:10 p.m. ET.
The contest will be nationally televised on TBS with Tim Brando and Mike Gminski handling play-by-play and color commentary duties respectively. Ross Schneiderman will produce the contest.
Should Pitt defeat Butler, it would advance to the NCAA Southeast Regional in New Orleans, La. Those games are scheduled for Thursday and Saturday at the Louisiana Superdome. Tipoff times are TBA. Possible opponents for the Regional Round are either No. 4 seed Wisconsin or No. 5 seed Kansas State.
Should Pitt win, it would advance to its sixth NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen in the last 10 years. Only two programs (Duke-7 and Kansas-6) have advanced to more NCAA Regionals over the last nine seasons and three others (Texas, Connecticut and Michigan State) have matched Pitt's achievement. Five of the six programs are still alive in the 2011 NCAA Tournament (Michigan State lost to UCLA on Thursday).
No. 1 seed Pitt advanced to the NCAA Second Round following a 23-point win over UNC Asheville (74-51) on Thursday. Ashton Gibbs scored 20 of his game-high 26 points in the second half to help lead Pitt to victory. Gibbs set an NCAA Tournament single game record by hitting 6-9 3-pointers as the Panthers outrebounded the Bulldogs 50-27. Nasir Robinson added 12 points and Gary McGhee led the Panthers with a game-high 11 rebounds.
Pitt and Butler meet for the first time in 65 years. The last time the two schools met was on December 10, 1946, a 41-39 Butler victory in Indianapolis. Pitt owns a 5-7 record against the Bulldogs as the two schools played on a semi-annual basis from 1928-46. All 12 series games were played in Indianapolis.
With its 74-51 NCAA Second Round victory over UNC Asheville, Pitt earned its 28th victory, which tied for the fifth most single season wins in school history. The school record is 31 victories, both achieved by Jamie Dixon-coached teams in both 2003-04 and 2008-09. Pitt won 29 games in 2001-02 and 2006-07 and 28 victories in 2002-03 and 2010-11.
For the second time in program history and second time in the last three seasons, Pitt enters an NCAA Tournament with a No. 1 seed. Pitt was also a No. 1 seed in 2009 when it won three-straight games and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight for the first time since 1974 before dropping a 78-76 contest to Villanova.
Pitt earns a school record 10th consecutive NCAA Tournament berth. Previously, Pitt had made only three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances from 1987-89. Pitt is one of only seven schools nationally to advance to the NCAA Tournament in each of the last 10 seasons: Duke Gonzaga, Kansas, Michigan State, Pitt, Texas and Wisconsin.
Pitt has also advanced to NCAA Sweet Sixteen play in five of the last nine seasons. Only two programs (Duke-7 and Kansas-6) have surpassed that accomplishment and three others (Connecticut-5, Michigan State-5 and Texas-5) have matched it. Pitt leads the Big East in most consecutive NCAA Tournaments with 10. The next closest streak in the league is Villanova with seven straight tourney appearances. Pitt also ranks No. 8 among national leaders in NCAA Tournament wins over the last nine seasons with 14.
Pitt is in its 23rd NCAA Tournament and is 23-23 in 46 NCAA Tournament all-time games. Since 2002, Pitt is 15-9 in its 24 NCAA Tournament games, reaching the Elite Eight once and Sweet Sixteen five times. The last time Pitt reached an NCAA Final Four was in 1941 in an eight-team invitational. In a 64-team format, Pitt has advanced past the round of 16 just one time (2009). In 1973-74, Pitt also earned an Elite Eight appearance in a 32-team tournament.
In addition, Dixon owns an 11-7 record in his 18 NCAA Tournament games. Dixon improved to 7-1 in NCAA Tournament First Round games. Since 2001-02, Pitt is 9-1 in the NCAA Tournament First Round.
With its Big East regular season title, Pitt captured its league-leading sixth Big East Conference crown in the last 10 years and fourth Big East regular season title since 2000 (see chart page 4). Pitt has now won or tied for the Big East regular season title six times in program history: 1986-87, 1987-88, 2001-02, 2002-03, 2003-04 and now 2010-11. With its league-leading 15-3 record, Pitt won the title after maintaining its 1.0 game lead over Notre Dame (14-4). Pitt entered the Big East Tournament as the No. 1 seed for only the third time in school history: 1988, 2004 and 2011.
Guards Ashton Gibbs and Brad Wanamaker both earned United States Basketball Writers Association All-District Team honors the organization announced. Gibbs was also named to the NABC All-District 5 First Team, while Wanamaker earned NABC All-District 5 Second Team honors.
A win on Saturday would give Pitt its sixth NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen appearance in the last 10 years. Upon entering the NCAA Tournament, Pitt is one of only six programs to advance to the Sweet Sixteen at least five times over the last nine years (Duke-7, Kansas-6, Pitt-5, Texas-5, Michigan State-5 and Connecticut-5).
Pitt has advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the ninth time in the last 10 seasons. Over the last 10 seasons, Pitt owns a 13-4 combined First and Second Round record. Jamie Dixon improved to 7-1 in NCAA Tourney First Round games. Combining First and Second Rounds, Dixon is 9-4.
Winners of nine of its last 12 games, Pitt is playing in its 10th consecutive NCAA Tournament, one of only seven programs nationally to achieve that distinction.
Pitt and Butler meet for the first time in 65 years. Pitt is 5-7 all-time vs. Butler with the last meeting taking place in 1946.

The relationship of art to the political is not confined to fixed polarities but formed in the dynamics of relational processes. (Nikos Papastergiadis)[1]
… politics has its aesthetics, and aesthetics has its politics. But there is no formula for an appropriate correlation. (Jacques Rancière)[2]
The second issue of Art and Research is focused upon the interrelationship between art, politics and theory, with particular emphasis upon the concept of 'the political' as articulated and developed by Chantal Mouffe. In the two decades since the publication of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe's Hegemony and Socialist Strategy (1985), Mouffe has pursued the concepts of the political, radical democracy, antagonism and agonism, through a series of works: The Return of the Political (1993), The Democratic Paradox (2000), and On the Political (2005). Rejecting deliberative and consensus models of democracy, advanced by thinkers such as Jürgen Habermas and John Rawls, Mouffe argues for an 'agonistic' model of 'radical democracy' claiming, 'we need a democratic model able to grasp the nature of the political'.[3] Somewhat controversially for a thinker on the left, the nature of the political Mouffe has in mind is drawn from the writings of right-wing theorist, Carl Schmitt; a former Nazi and dominant influence upon Leo Strauss and the Neo-conservatives of the Chicago School, Schmitt developed his concept of 'the political' as a critique of Liberalism and parliamentary democracy in works such as Political Theology (1922), The Concept of the Political (1932), and The Theory of the Partisan (1963). At the heart of Schmitt's political philosophy is an absolute social antagonism: 'The phenomenon of the political can be understood only in the context of the ever present possibility of the friend-and-enemy grouping, regardless of the aspects which this possibility implies for morality, aesthetics, and economics.'[4] Proclaiming triumphantly: 'Nothing can escape this logical conclusion of the political.'[5] Schmitt's insistence upon the irreducible nature of the 'concrete antagonism' at the heart of social relations informs Mouffe's critique of liberal models of democracy which seek to dissolve social antagonisms (of class, race, gender, for example) in appeals to 'non-political' concepts such as 'universal humanity', insisting: 'Only by acknowledging "the political" in its antagonistic dimension can we pose the central question for democratic politics.'[6] From such a perspective, the move towards the passionless centre ground of politics by mainstream political parties amounts not to a triumph but to a failure of democracy. For Mouffe, 'radical democracy' is a space which acknowledges the existence of irreducible conflict and gives voice to the irrational passions which inspire them. However, Mouffe's model of radical democracy is not content simply to maintain social antagonisms to the extent that their final resolution is only conceivable in a future violence. Rather she invokes a social model of 'agonistic pluralism', whereby Schmitt's antagonistic 'enemies' are transformed into agonistic 'adversaries', concluding: 'the prime task of democratic politics is not to eliminate passions from the sphere of the public, in order to render a rational consensus possible, but to mobilize those passions towards democratic designs.'[7]
In the essay included here, 'Artistic Activism and Agonistic Spaces,' Mouffe turns her attention to art, addressing the role artistic activism can play in the realization of radical democracy. She writes:
I do not see the relation between art and politics in terms of two separately constituted fields, art on one side and politics on the other, between which a relation would need to be established. There is an aesthetic dimension in the political and there is a political dimension in art. This is why I consider that it is not useful to make a distinction between political and non-political art… The real issue concerns the possible forms of critical art, the different ways in which artistic practices can contribute to questioning the dominant hegemony.[8]
The concept of the political derived from Schmitt and developed by Mouffe, is the context for Okwui Enwezor's recent question with regard to the direction of contemporary art in his statement to announce the opening of the 2nd Seville Biennial of Contemporary Art (2006).[9] In this text Enwezor reflected upon the potency of radical artistic practices which seek to challenge capitalist cultural production, in the context of counter-hegemonic political struggles:
Under the current conditions of uncertainty, in fact, the idea of artistic intervention in the cultural sphere increasingly appears both fragile and anachronistic. This is not just due to the accelerating commodification being generated by the art market complex but also to a certain loss of ethical clarity in contemporary art as a whole. Artists need to do more than merely report on this situation, more than simply register their own responses to the pervasive anxiety that dominates cultural production. The question, then, is this: how might art become integral rather than peripheral to the widespread challenge that affect not only the production of art but its reception as well, particularly in light of the deleterious effects of reactionary, conservative and fundamentalist politics on all world social formations today?[10]
Enwezor's question speculates upon the kind of art which is both possible and necessary in the light of the inescapable adversarial conditions of artistic production and reception, an art antagonistic to hegemonic forces of political and cultural domination operative in East and West alike. In throwing down of the gauntlet of demonstrable effect to artists, in relation to anti-globalisation movements, for example, Enwezor echoes the position held by Slavoj Zizek when he contends:
More than ever, one should bear in mind Walter Benjamin's reminder that it is not enough to ask how a certain theory (or art) declares itself with regard to social struggles – one should also ask how it effectively functions in these very struggles.[11]
In accord with Enwezor and Zizek here, Mouffe asserts:
What is needed is widening the field of artistic intervention, by intervening directly in a multiplicity of social spaces in order to oppose the program of total social mobilization of capitalism. The objective should be to undermine the imaginary environment necessary for its reproduction.[12]
One way artists have intervened in the circulation of commodities that constitute the social imaginary of capitalism (whether to undermine or redirect its flows of desire) is through the critical practice of appropriation. In 'Living With Ghosts: From Appropriation to Invocation in Contemporary Art,' Jan Verwoert reconsiders the tactic of appropriation with regard to the question of narrative and history. The political challenge of contemporary artists, according to Verwoert, is to reclaim and redirect a multiplicity of social and historical narratives in an art of invocation. Drawing upon Derrida's Spectres of Marx, Verwoert challenges the thought of theorists such as Crimp, Owens and Jameson, asserting crucial difference between the critical momentum of appropriation art today and the theory and practices of appropriation art of the 1980s.
The political dimension of artistic practice is addressed form the perspective of anarchist political economy in the interview with Michael Albert concerning his chapter on art in Realizing Hope: Life Beyond Capitalism (New York: Zed Books, 2006). Albert's concept of participatory economics, or parecon, proposes a society in which people in 'balanced job complexes' contribute to all aspects of necessary or socially-useful labour and thereby dissolve the economic injustice of class relations which lead to antagonism. As well as being an 'anarchist economics', Albert also claims that (contrary to many artists' objections): 'Parecon is art friendly. It is an artistic economy.'[13] But in what way is parecon an artistic economy? What is the role of art in parecon? What are the relations between art and anarchism in Albert's thought?
We might account for Albert's interest in addressing art by his involvement in the production of an artwork; the anarchist economist was interviewed by the Vienna-based artist, Oliver Ressler, for his ongoing project, Alternative Economics, Alternative Societies – a work situated between art and activism, which presents interviews with anti-capitalist economists, political scientists, writers and historians. Ressler – who participated in Okwui Enwezor's Biennial in Seville - is an artist who recognises the ineluctable presence of social antagonism as the fulcrum of his practice as an artist. In projects such as Alternative Economics, Alternative Societies and the collaborative video 5 Factories – Worker Control in Venezuela (which tracks factory workers implementing socialism in Hugo Chavez's Venezuela), Ressler offers us an image of art as an act of solidarity with social struggle in the epoch of globalisation. Such is the resolution of Ressler's rejection of neo-liberal hegemony and his commitment to an activist form of artistic practice, that we might presume he shares Michael Albert's conclusion: 'There is no end to history. There is no end to dissent.'[14]
Ressler's statement 'An Ideal Society Creates Itself: Venezuela and the Bolivarian Process' is a shortened version of a SoFA Friday Event talk he gave prior to the Studio 55 Seminar, 'Art and the Political I' (1 December 2006), chaired by Craig Richardson and which included presentations by Justin Carter, Dominic Hislop, Chad McCail and Ressler. In his introduction Richardson refers to Richard Noble's 'Some Provisional Remarks on Art and Politics' presented at 'To Change an Opinion: A Conference on Art and the New World Disorder' (The Showroom, London, 2004). Noble's categories of critical art's relation to politics prove useful in distinguishing the positions occupied by each of the artists presenting at the seminar. For example, in Noble's first category, 'art as political criticism' we might locate the work of Oliver Ressler; in his second category, an art which explores 'positions and identities defined by otherness,' we might find Dominic Hislop's engagement with re-mapping cities according to the experience of the homeless, economic migrants or political refugees; in Noble's third category of art as 'utopian experimentation' we might position Chad McCail's billboard-scale paintings which draw upon the psychological theories of Wilhelm Reich expounded in works such as The Sexual Revolution (1936) and The Function of the Orgasm (1942) (which influenced Dan Graham's Detumescence) and uncannily envisage scenes familiar to the anarchist aspirations of Michael Albert's parecon; in Noble's final category 'art as an investigation of its own political condition' we might encounter the work of Justin Carter which combines environmental and ethical concerns in the approach and execution of his work. In their various manifestations of contemporary critical art practice these artists prompt us to reflect on the thought of Schmitt and Mouffe. For example, might we legitimately consider these artists as new partisans? Yet, as convenient as Noble's categories may be in assisting us to comprehend differences in ideas and methods of critical art practice, in the last analysis we must agree with Nikos Papastergiadis whoen he maintains: 'Art can never be a prisoner of politics and theory.'[15]
Papastergiadis's view is amply confirmed by the artists presentations in 'Art and the Political II: Democracy and Its Discontents' (2 March 2007). This seminar focused on two projects which raised questions about democracy and representation in the context of devolution: David Bellingham's Turnout - an installation and publication based on the number of people who voted in the elections for the Scottish Parliament, 5 May 2005- and Shauna McMullan's Travelling the Distance - a commission from the Scottish Parliament to make an artwork to commemorate Women's suffrage and the importance of Women in Scottish political life. In his presentation, Bellingham points to the crucial importance of the poetic and the oblique in critical art and also to an expanded notion of the contemporary in his appropriation of classical philosophy. The open-ended nature of the research methodology McMullan developed in the creation of her installation – a methodology which echoes that employed by Sarah Tripp in her film Anti-Prophet (1999) - is eloquently illustrated by her reference to a work by Felix Gonzalez Torres, where a line is made on parchment by a pen once the ink has run out. McMullen reads this almost invisible indentation as a landscape for new questions and creative uncertainty. Perhaps the articulation of this space is akin to Mouffe's radical 'decision in an undecidable terrain', or what Enwezor refers to as 'the current conditions of uncertainty' - or even Alain Badiou's void of the event: however it plays out in theory, this situation of uncertainty is the space of art itself. 'As long as the world has not yet come altogether into its own,' wrote Maurice Blanchot, 'art can probably reserve a place for itself there.'[16]
The critical placement of art in the world is a theme developed in Nicolás Guagnini's interview with Dan Graham which focuses on Graham's work for magazine pages.[17] Famous for pavilions, performance and video work, Graham's works for magazines sought to bypass the economy of the art market and to debunk the claims of art criticism through the 'disposable' status of the everyday: 'My idea was to go right back and to put things into printed matter. Into magazines as magazine pages. They would be disposable. They would also be both about the magazine system, as well as art criticism.' Equally, Graham wanted to puncture the commercial economy of the magazine system itself (based on advertising revenue), by producing an artwork (such as Common Drugs Side Effects) which occupied the space of advertising but refused to sell you anything. In this artist-to-artist interview with Guagnini, Graham reveals that political anarchism was an important influence upon his development as an artist, as was the research of figures such as Reich. Equally important in this context is Graham's confession that he first wanted to become a writer rather than an artist.
Dan Graham's emphasis on the figure of the artist as writer is an appropriate context to approach the contribution to this issue by Sarah Tripp, who continues her exploration of methodologies for artistic research across a range of artistic practices (as documentary film-maker, designer and writer) with the contribution of Let me show you some things - a short story with photographic images.[18] Tripp's exploration of the relationship between narrative and photographic image evokes the methodology of a writer like W. G. Sebald. Like Sebald, Tripp interrogates the role writing plays in producing an archive of everyday life.
Perhaps the interruption of Erich Maria Remarque's poignant novel on the futility of war All Quiet on the Western Front into otherwise banal domestic scenes of sibling strife in Tripp's narrative, provides a bridge between her work and Lisa Oppenheim's The Sun is Always Setting Somewhere Else… - a slide sequence of 15 images of photographs of sunsets taken by soldiers in Iraq held up to obscure the view of a sunset in New York. In his introduction to her work, Brian O'Connell situates Oppenheim's practice in the critical territory between appropriation and reconstruction and concludes:
The result is a mixture of political and aesthetic critique that seems, if through nothing but its being a 35mm slide show, to evoke a not-so-distant past in which 'bringing the war home' was an equally pressing concern. In this case, however, the immediacy of such a project seems overwhelmed by blogs from the front and held at bay by the Romanticism not only of the image, but of a project which is thoroughly tangled up in mediation.[19]
With these 'blazing sunsets more familiar to greeting cards than war mementos', are we looking at the desublimation of the Romantic sunset? Or are we witnessing the last remaining vestige of the sublime disappear behind the ultimate ethical horizon of critical art?
Arguably collaborative artists Bryndís Snæbjörnsdóttir and Mark Wilson occupy similar critical territory between appropriation and reconstruction (or perhaps between appropriation and invocation), in their publication and exhibition: nanoq: flat out and bluesome a survey of British taxidermic polar bears 2001-04. This project comprised a period of site research and photographic archiving (2000-2004), an installation of ten bears at Spike Island, Bristol (2006), a publication with Black Dog Publishing (2006), organization of symposia and presentation at academic conferences. A multifaceted work, nanoq (Inuit for polar bear) explores the particular status of the polar bear as cultural and environmental signifier - a factor noted by Sam Stead in his review of the nanoq publication. Ultimately, nanoq engages in a critique of representational practices in the discipline of Natural History, forces us to confront our contemporary access to the sublime, and raises ethical questions surrounding human relationships with animals. The philosophical, aesthetic and ethical context of nanoq are discussed by the artists in conversation with Steve Baker (author of The Postmodern Animal) in relation to the writings of Jacques Derrida. Questions with regard to the form of nanoq, in terms of the role of the object and the photograph, are also discussed in relation to the pivotal conceptual artwork of Joseph Kosuth, One and Three Chairs. The discussion of Kosuth in this context led to the question of art as a process of 'enframing' (Heidegger) or 'unframing' (Guattari), questions which approach the origins and function of the work of art.
Perhaps it is an appropriate reflection of the aims and ethos of Art and Research to end with a dialogue between artist and theorist. As Nikos Papastergiadis recognises (echoing the language of Mouffe), the dialogue between art, politics and theory does not seek to collapse the differences between discourses but to maintain their integrity in agonistic dialogue of critical intimacy - a reflection which may serve as invitation for others to contribute their voices to the future of the journal:
[T]he exchange between art, politics and theory is not like that of antagonists trapped in a militaristic game of surrender and defeat, where the truth of one position can only be grasped by gaining distance from all the configurations that are implied within it. Rather, the relationship between art, politics and theory resembles a rhetorical game between agonists who are in dialogue with each other, who measure each other's truth claims by gaining some critical intimacy with their respective worldviews, and who are bound to respect the integrity of their mutual differences.[20]

The Bruins had a 3-1 series lead over the Maple Leafs. That lead is now completely gone. D&C discuss just what happened to bring us to this point and how the Bruins can get ready for a hungry Leafs team in Game 7.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
All what a -- third. All the mothers' day yesterday it was and I -- -- be frank with you on this Monday morning to broadcasting live from the international -- sixth annual in the tiger's event. Mark Preston decide who had a more precipitous fall from the penthouse to the -- Was that Sergio all the whining gag artist who has recreating tin cup on the seventy feet. The reeling Red Sox who I believe -- two and eight in their last ten. Or your schizophrenic. Boston Bruins are supposed to get to the question will be found out tonight. If the Bruins managed to lose game seven -- that will be your answer it would be the second. Most horrific lapse in organizational history dating back to 2010 when they gagged away three nothing lead against Philadelphia. I would have to say you'll -- of that night yeah that'll be the -- 930 quarter tan. That it will have the answers if they do bounce -- witnessed and humble well ranges. Camps to this thing goes seven games beat up on each other and they can regroup. But they do. If they do collapse -- -- -- -- in three years and years. That will be the made that will be the end of the year -- -- taken by the coaching -- -- over. From and every time we've discussed this we've got it right when. Little the way yes the game. We knew what had to have said he's gone and people arguing with me writing columns -- You can fire that there's some things from which you do not -- Believe Robert Redford in the natural assumptions that. Are not for -- will never stop paying bright and Claude Julian. It's especially innings he's taken a beating today. Because he is so stubborn its stock in his ways and he is not mixing things up but he's not changing the lines he's sticking with -- guys. And he's the only eagle went with them tonight and he'll lose his job with them and united have with a point. Yeah we're not doing so they don't show off the night before he loses I think so I think so that that is so hard to believe that the team that if you just get out the Bruins -- it back into their own beds. There in Toronto this there is not a that team who's gonna feel rested and ready to go to and I was gonna say the top tip to really go on a percent. If they -- on the phone law right now I'm with a good question they might have to make it. -- -- can make I don't think that we're -- goodness sleepy all about it now auctioned in in the bathroom smell but think about it they're gonna. We're gonna get to the logistics here in the details but they're still in Toronto that plane. Would stop the jump to everything you know Woodstock the battery yeah -- -- Sox batters just to I mean imagine under the best. Of circumstances. They play that game last night in getting on the plane and it takes off finally get home whatever reasonable hour exhausted will they be anyway. Based on having played game six last night game seven tonight since and now they were on the plane it's -- they actually it's. Stupid and NATO goes back to back a note to shortened season notes comprised of these guys are going to most important game to be here right now these teams are going back to back to back. And their most physical games of the year. Back to back up three games in four nights. With this kind of pace ridiculous this physical. What you're seeing is not the best the sport has to offer it's it's entertaining to get me wrong it's awesome. Game was incredibly it to him and and so was the Rangers caps but. And I think they take the place tonight if they make it back and they are all one. -- and Neiman and did -- sleep. It is really a test of recently. Welcomed them to mean you know -- imports -- the net. And managing. Yes maybe mic maybe mix up the lines we talk about all those things isn't this the greatest example of resilience and sports who can come back play three games four minutes. At this pace with this kind of intensity and come out on top. I'm not sure what carries the -- mental toughness or physical toughness I guess the answer the question is a combination of ball the doesn't that tell you wouldn't that tell you if you knew which is the more mentally tough. Which is physically tough. Team the winner tonight and and and here's the thing that I implode. I am most worried about think about where you thought the Bruins had the decided advantage. In -- in this series was not the goaltender was everywhere was I -- not the -- -- did not say Rask was better than -- and now can you say that. I'd say they're both up to the task -- -- threw 100. -- -- -- the last two games they're both. Good enough to win it's not like one of them is gone all Marc-Andre -- on them but you're right primer. I believe one puck came out of this club yes -- yeah it was one. He's supposed to longer rebound right exposed to be planned net like grocery Michael placed Florida and it hasn't that would be gloved right and that was the fear in the theory is you run into the uncle. And for the first however many games to report he was not that guy. He was not. Winning games when his team but only that -- and there were supposed to be better up front. And those the second line which is really the first to second line has not been better. This -- much better on on the Blue Line is posting much better. From one to six on defense right -- -- I mean that's that's been the case. Will we find out at some point when the series ends when the season ends what tomorrow with -- on. Yet is there are some injury we are on whether it means to an undisclosed upper body injury doesn't. Fly in hockey because they'll all we have some injury when it's over the right that it -- everybody who was who was as effective who was is involved was at engaged as marsh and was over the course of this compressed season. Absolutely positively disappear like he has. Will say -- requirement alignment or it's amazing. The top two scorers have. Goose eggs across the boy in six games he picked one off there off martians nose and the Internet at at this point after six games. And by the way that we can resume that debate about who's better -- sitting in today. We should do that when you think you're that same phone calls. The same you know fan boy bloggers write about -- sake it's better he -- a better tennis which I guess that means sake it's better than that. And -- stamped -- and John Tavares and watch you six games you can communion inclusion on our castles and significantly better he's been as good young players. Whether or what other games is the one to watch lows in Toronto Edmonton games in the season what to Columbus. What are your favorite hockey honestly it's night and day head and shoulders that Phil Kessel has the superior player. It was if if they lose this -- -- an -- let's say tomorrow that this -- a bad trade. Cancels the kind of -- they could use right now -- -- finds the net. He makes his teammates better you can take customized stick he's not on a good team mediocre team this year he's not been on good. But you're assuming if -- were on the Bruins the cloned when actually use him close election take advantage of his skill set -- but have him on the ice and critical situations that put him with a. Some line mate who could who could enhance what it is built up about what it would Bergeron about that be good that would work questions delegate. You know without him and going to be right to a BC. But he's a great start about what 67 years David -- -- -- six governors today to me it's you know it's all well if you get a chance to win a cup right 67 years from now which will be gone -- on the mean that it's a whole different team. He might be good defenseman and a mediocre or sub par team. We've seen a lot of those over the years Kirk this is not. I mean I think veteran Bruins fans in the stands is it rare opportunities. Happen every year we you have Google you know here's you know you good -- good team good coaching and a chance to go to the Stanley Cup -- -- available mystery you know two weeks ago week those recruitment out. That's that I was gonna say they'll -- guys right two guys so would be Mikhail in Paris Joseph Barry Carroll -- or it would be Varitek and and that slow low for Heath Slocum missed 241 right and the idea of proposing mystery maybe even horse like that torture on it was preposterous -- a week and it right now -- we had a conversation we. -- -- this all castle and you know what I. -- looked this up. Next years gonna make like a million bucks less than Lucic and no -- she is having a good series. Opens a better player. It's not. Close and he's got this like five or six Bruins are gonna make as much or more than Kessel. -- -- he wanted too much money right yes well right now on this. I've Bruins who remained more or as much then castle. Next to what it was more than just money it was it was it was the system is what -- wondered -- what is what the Bruins expect that out of -- guys who was not a system kind of guy he's not a guy who made any kind of commitment. On the defensive ends so the combination of money and the way the guy played and as votes it's on the tarmac with his finger in his notes. Waiting waiting for gill flaps down and did take off and get to Boston doesn't have to wonder doesn't have to worry which. One of his schizophrenic Bruin teams shows up tonight. Well I mean -- -- -- like to have any other way but trustees of the here. Frustration in my -- and help my hockey club turnover. Hopefully the Bruins it was good -- and I -- I think it's -- gonna go low you know speaking his mind that -- from a subject -- -- -- -- -- -- this. But. -- doesn't make adjustments tonight and they lose. He is gonna go down in flames if he does make adjustments. And -- oh he panicked. He listened to the critics. He listened to the fans who demanded that he shake things up. So he used to win tonight to discuss say that quote is my advice tonight you better win or -- out of because they circle and with pitchforks and torches. Their circle in the TD garden tonight if he loses again. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Right these -- good young placed in your future right. Someone will have to pay with -- two an inning and beat Sega or Tuukka Rask. Doug Hamilton enemy it's going to be close to -- -- -- Sharaud integrity quote yes totally -- that he's the only one the only logical. Scapegoat if they go down -- -- tonight I wonder will these changes will lead to mean. If they win it will change like that -- think what they would take to win third game -- -- back to back the plane breaks down. Guys hurt and dragon you know that old pros against the -- -- if they win tonight. It to hold -- means it. It's like Sergio start the magnolia that -- seventeenth within with what we burst into the third the first one yet he acted entitled where -- are really nice way to an eighteen. -- a picture you got there yet to go in the water -- now now but you know what. Sergio. In his defense he could say went for enemy could have some little green he went four to. He went for the stick -- stupid do Richard because it on the middle of the green probably if he stood there right now and -- hundred balls he could probably put maybe five of them on the green. Sergio speaks for the rest of the tour when he Paul -- at a B and not the nicest guys on tour that yeah probably. Just as you say that right but yeah and I almost responded to a guy Keegan Bradley -- Tiger -- Casey with Hamburg putt -- putt on the eighteenth mark his ball. It's the kind gentleman he is like against upped its and his aspect crying out loud -- major champion you're exactly right. Sergio does not bow before the king. He wouldn't be thinking. But doesn't bow with a great Tiger Woods he'd he doesn't mildly certainly bend and broke bends and breaks no question. Which is why I didn't share in the jewel on the you know on the Twitter verse. Or on the ready share in the joy I mean that you want. Pushed tiger -- are absolutely one. We'll take tiger rather take a search -- -- this week and -- Tiger Woods against him instead -- and Jeff Maggert. We admirable Jeff Maggert calmly got -- -- think that's maggots last. For law. You must just like that course -- something you know he -- them seventeen to put water is the be right there at the end but it is amazing as what two and -- -- -- the we have in the tournament's eighty. Tiger tiger presented -- Houston for -- company. Four days 270 for Russia -- like to better than the next closest guy and -- He's dominant justice strange dynamic to meet that. To -- a difference on from when we were in the north and -- is and you say he's dominant. It is really a lack of the rival's lack of somebody else. To complete the job to what he did -- team two perfect shots ought to get on. At fifteen and water fourteen or Indian water. And and a second company had to get with the ball in his in his -- he cheated according job you know if history. And -- what was the phone -- off the -- At the NBC oh what if it had like operators standing in the World League dime for -- It is too bad. Why -- people happy. I don't love Sergio dislikes are judges would love to see somebody. Breathe down tiger's neck EE in. More column -- -- them. And we can -- we will -- -- -- it was Casey -- were about eight months removed from will be a Mac or one that's second guess which OK it's time everywhere one harper broke from Adam Scott right and it's now we're back to tiger expect what's what are you guys I mean it's not that spectacular. What he's doing he's just grinding you down and and and make and you make you cry on -- in the case upsurge. So we have dealt with the a precipitous fall from grace of your Boston Bruins and -- just. Circle back to them for just a second I'm not sure this is applicable I'm not sure what sort of -- mental state will play a role in what happens in game sevens might but if it does. If there's a mental advantage to be had is that not squarely in the port. The Toronto Maple Leafs president all the talking and just sitting there glazed eyes and their stomach churning and -- -- might. Yes we are on the brink of of of humiliation and embarrassment.

"Mrs Waterhouse said to us (stewards) that in fact Platinum Scissors had swum two laps of the Flemington pool and was then floated to Altona beach where he trotted for five minutes on the sand and in the water," chief steward Des Gleeson said.
In her statement, Waterhouse restated, that in her view, Platinum Scissors was still capable of starting in the derby early on the Thursday morning before the race.
"Platinum Scissors had not missed any work on the Thursday," she said. "He was examined by the vet and me and thought to be right to run in the derby.
"That's when I paid the acceptance fee (for the derby), I have not been able to speak to the media until now because my licence prevents me from making any comment while the inquiry was under way."
Gleeson said that no comparison could be drawn with the fines imposed on John Hawkes and his son Wayne, who were fined $7500 and $1500 respectively last year for giving misleading evidence, and the Waterhouse case.
"They were two very different cases. But we will review policy regarding horses in major races after acceptance time considering the pre-post betting on these events," he said.
Gleeson said the $3000 penalty was at the lower end of the scale for such an offence, as stewards had taken into account Waterhouse's good record and the fact that she corrected her initial evidence.
Waterhouse, who was represented at the inquiry by Sydney barrister Paul Brereton, said the scratching of Platinum Scissors from the derby was "the most devastating thing for my connections and me".
Before she was ushered away from the Racing Victoria offices, she added: "And I am very sorry if I have disappointed the public in any way."

Thanks to the open source nature of bitcoin, that most famous of all digital currencies, just about anybody can create their own alt-coins these days. And increasingly, people are doing just that—and naming them after some of the most popular memes, animals, and personalities on the web.
Most of these cybercurrencies are marginal, especially compared to the roughly $10 billion market for bitcoins—and given their lack of liquidity, they're about as prudent an investment as scratch-off tickets. But regardless of their investment potential, they're nothing if not a reflection of the internet culture that birthed them. From the failed Coinye West to the surprising success of the dogecoin, here are some of the oddest and most interesting additions to the world of digital currency. Invest wisely, friends.
Mission: "We have partnered with PRguitarman (Nyancat creator) to create the very first cryptocurrency to be officially licenced in history!"
Following in the footsteps of Catcoin, Nyancoin drew its inspiration from one of the internet's favorite things to click on: felines. And not just any cat, but Nyan Cat — a hybrid cat/Pop Tart hybrid who earned 100 million YouTube views by hurtling relentlessly through space towards a destination it would never reach. (Allegory for existence much?) Nyan Cat has inspired countless ringtones, wallpapers and even video games before somehow turning into an alt-coin. While it's not currently on any exchanges, it does have the support of the meme's original creator; if you head to Nyan Cat's official page now, the iconic Pop Tart of the 8-bit space cat has currently been swapped out for a coin.
Current market value: Unlisted
Mission: "dogecoin is an open source peer-to-peer cryptocurrency, favored by Shiba Inus worldwide."
Such currency. Doge — a wide-eyed Shiba Inu whose image is covered in Comics Sans captions — not only became the most popular meme of 2013, but also the most successful meme-themed altcoin. What started as a joke tweet by creator Jackson Palmer soon became a currency with a market value that has soared to around $60 million. The dogecoin community of has even engaged in some recent philanthropy, donating the dogecoin equivalent of $30,000 to help send the Jamaican bobsled team — globally beloved since the cinematic tour de force Cool Runnings — to the upcoming Winter Olympic Games.
Current market value: $59.2 million
Coinye West
Mission: "We chose to represent Kanye because he is and always has been a trendsetter, and he's always keeping things unique… I think he's gonna love that there's a CURRENCY named in his honor."
Contrary to the hopes of Coinye's creators, Kanye West did not, in fact, love that there was a currency named in his honor. And rater than accepting their generous offer of 100,000 COINYE, the rapper decided instead to give them a gift of his own: a cease-and-desist letter. The creators initially responded by changing the imagery of the currency from West's face to "a half-man-half-fish hybrid who is wearing sunglasses" — a reference to a South Park episode that parodied Kanye — but ultimately closed down the project with a post that read, "Coinye is dead. You win, Kanye."
Current market value: N/A (Kanye shrug)
Norris Coin
Mission: "Chuck Norris doesn't give a fuck about the 10 KnC ASIC miners you stockpile in your parent's basement. He's gonna roundhouse kick you in the face the next time you go buy your XXL Grilled Stuft Burritos from Taco Bell. SHIT GETS REAL ON JANUARY 14, 2014, 10:00 PM EASTERN TIME. Norris Coin (NOR) gets dropped into the crypto-economy battlefield to distribute a fair amount of pain, roundhouse kicks, rockets, headache and of course, distributive justice."
We've learned a lot of facts about Chuck Norris over the years on the Internet, but most of them revolve around a simple premise: You do not mess with him. It's a lesson that the creators of the Norris Coin recently learned when lawyers for the former Walker, Texas Ranger star sent a Notice of Infringement to the "roundhouse-kick solutions to centralized banking problems" prior to its launch. Much like anyone foolish enough to challenge Chuck Norris, the Norris Coin never had a chance.
Current price: N/A
Mission: "Connecting Minecraft communities through portable digital currencies
Based on Litecoin, CraftCoin was designed as currency for use on servers for the Minecraft servers, as well as outside of them. While Minecraft isn't a meme, precisely, the sandbox building game has become a universe unto itself, where fictional worlds are reconstructed with unimaginable intricacy and users construct working computers and even 3D printers. In a world where jaw-dropping structures are regularly built out of digital bricks, why wouldn't they, too, make their own currency out of nothing?
Current market value: $81,505
Mission: "Ron Paul, although not a programmer, has already begun to investigate and discuss the implications of this technology. We hope that he will help to promote the cause of decentralized currency further!"
Out of all the politicians to put on an altcoin, Ron Paul at least makes ideological sense. The creators of the RonPaulCoin, who called the former Congressman "the leading champion of financial freedom and economic transparency" launched hope that Paul would be supportive of the coin, and unlike Chuck Norris and Kanye West — he was. Paul reacted positively when he learned about the currency, telling CNBC that he supported it as long as there was no fraud involved. "It's fascinating to me… I have been for a long time advocating competing currencies."
Current market value: $296,895
Mission: "Super Sexy and Delicious. SXC aims to provide adult content consumers, performers and producers a fast, stable and secure method of accepting micro transactions."
If defining elements of internet culture are making their way into cybercurrency, really, how could sex be excluded? And unlike some of the entries on this list, it seems to have a practical intent: offering performers, creators and consumers of adult content a more privacy way to exchange money.
Current market value: $1.15 million
Mission: "ShitCoin will be the biggest POS coin you've ever seen."
Inspired by the deluge of cryptocurrencies that were all hype and no substance, Bitcoin forum member Vlad2Vlad announced that he would be launching a newer, more honest form of alt-currency: ShitCoin. "I'm so tired of seeing so many CrapCoins pop up everyday and nobody at least admits their coin is total dogshit. So I'm Launching a new coin in hopes this will jump the CrapCoin Shark: SHIT." With a maximum of 500 trillion coins, the Shitcoin is designed to be functionally worthless — its own commentary on the influx of would-be bitcoins.
Current price: N/AGo Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Local Facilities: The nearest supermarket is a Tesco which is less than a 5 minute drive off the main A3074 road in to St Ives. There are also banks, hairdressers, a chemist, a post office newsagents and general stores all a short walk away. During the day when on the beach there is a cafe, shop and food outlet.
Attractions: A great location for couples and smaller families. Carbis Bay really does give you the best of both worlds. The peace and quiet of Compass Point yet only a short distance away from the vibrant town of St Ives.
Further a field Penzance, St Michael's Mount, Lands End, beautiful Sennen Cove (surfing), Padstow (cooking courses with Rick Stein), Port Isaac (filming of TV show Doc Martin), Newquay (indoor Water World), & St Austell (Eden Project) are all within easy reach either by Car or Train.
Other Activities: Live theatre, cinema, Tate Gallery, museums, bars, restaurants, clubs, and shopping.
This is one of the loveliest apartments we have ever had the delight to stay in. Superbly clean and very well appointed with everything you need. Great outdoor space to relax and take in the fab view of Carbis Bay. Secure apartment and with a parking space which is a real bonus. Cliff walking from the doorstep, beach a one minute walk from to doorstep, little train 30 seconds from the doorstep which takes you in/out to St Ives plus other places. Tesco is about 1 min drive away. Lovely fish and chips plus other places to eat in Carbis and lots to do and see in St Ives. Overall we rate this property top marks. Well done Lucy who is just a phone call away if you need her for anything. We will be back
We agree with what the other reviewers have said.
Suggestions: Leave the car alone for a week. Use the train and your feet. Rail connections from your doorstep to Penzance or Truro as well as St Ives.
Spoilt for choice for eateries: we enjoyed "Porthminster Beach Café" (more correctly a fine restaurant) and eating in at the more economic "Harbour Fish and Chips" - the only chippy with a choice of eight wines.
Only footsteps away from the South West Coast Path.
The property was spotless on arrival.
Nice touch: Binoculars to borrow in the conservatory.
Don't forget: Your favourite ground coffee for the expresso/latte machine.
You'll be back!
I almost don't want to give away the secret of this luxurious Cornish retreat, as I could very happily live there in a perfect world!
St Ives is a stones throw away from Carbis Bay and is buzzing with activity in the summer months and a peaceful escape in the winter. There's so much to do from the apartment; we've enjoyed beautiful coastal walking, surfing, wildlife spotting, the cosy country pubs and many a cream tea! In saying that, we are more than content just hanging out at the apartment curled up with a good book, as the rain lashes down on the conservatory or watching a film by the fire-the simple things we never get to do when we're at home!
We love coming to stay here, as the apartment is immaculate and so well appointed, unlike our cluttered reality! The interior decor is so stylish, with stunning original art work on the walls. The view and sound of the ocean is very special and after a fews days spent here, we feel like we've been on a restorative retreat!
we have stayed in this apartment with our 2 kids (now 3 and 5) several times and have loved it each time. It is an immaculate apartment, done up in real style and very clean. It has a very well equipped kitchen in which you can cook up a gourmet meal, with the dining room conveniently adjoining. You also have access to the balcony from the kitchen. It has a most beautiful conservatory from which you have stunning sea views where we have spent many evenings sipping a glass of wine. The apartment is ideally located, 5 min walk downhill to the beach of Carbis bay and in close proximity to St Ives with several beautiful beaches and lots of nice shops. You can get to St Ives by taking the train (train station 2 min walk) or by walking the SW coast path (about 20min).
We can't recommend this place highly enough and hope to spend many more holidays there!
We have stayed here countless times and there are so many reasons we come back again and again. It's a beautiful apartment with incredible views and a wonderfully calm atmosphere. I love it as much in winter, curled up in the front of the fire watching a storm, as at the height of summer, lounging on the balcony. It's beautifully decorated with fabulous, vibrant artwork and lovely fabrics.
Thinking practically, it has everything you need as well as a fantastic coffee machine. The beds are comfier than ours at home.
In terms of the location, I love that it is a bit outside of St Ives and therefore away from the crowds. Carbis Bay beach is brilliant - especially for kids and if you want to pop into town the walk is lovely or it's about 10 seconds away on the train (often free if you have the right conductor!)
The only improvement I can think of would be a cable car linking the balcony to the beach - but you can't have everything and whilst there is still a strapping little walk involved there always a good excuse for a cream tea when you return from the climb up the hill!
Very nice and fast contact with Lucy by phone , e-mail and SMS.
The apartment was as described and seen on the photos. Tastefully decorated, very clean, good beds. All appliances you could wish are there, there is even a (gas-) fireplace in the living room. Fast Wifi. The view is wonderful. The train station is just across the street and it is a short walk down to the beach.
We will stay here again for sure, when we return to St. Ives.
A stunning, stylish, and luxurious penthouse in the fantastic coastal location of Carbis Bay. This superbly equipped accommodation is a part of the prestigious Compass Point complex which occupies a great position just a few minutes walk to the white sands of Carbis Bay Beach. The close proximity to the quaint railway station gives guests the option of leaving the car and taking the very popular tourist train into St Ives which takes just 3 minutes along a single track which follows a dramatic path along the coast.
Historic St Ives is renowned for it's cosmopolitan mix of restaurants and cafes, art galleries, beaches and scenery and whether you are simply looking for a week on one of the many beaches or an energetic mix of surfing, golf, walking or diving there is something here for you!

Reviews for Strawberries 'n' Cream Scones
"My man loves when I make these for him! But I did do a couple small changes, first I do not always have a whole lemon, it is good with the zest, but I always have vanilla extract so I just use a teaspoon of that, and then I use a half cup of sugar instead of a third cause it give it that just right amount of sweetness without that feeling of not enough or just to much. Hope this helps anyone thinking of trying these, totally worth a try! =]"
"Worst recipe I ever tried. This isn't a dough, it's a goo."
"On the spur of the moment I wanted to make scones for a post Thanksgiving breakfast. I didn't have the half and half, but I improvised with 2/3 cup of egg nog. It turned out amazing."
"These are very tasty, but they are super sticky once you put in the strawberries. I think next time I will take the advice of another reviewer and add the strawberries to the dry mixture then add the cream."
"Most scones are pretty bland to me, but these are smooth with a touch of sweet. They are very sticky once you add the strawberries. I ate them warmed with a little strawberry jam. They freeze well."
"These were just OK, not much flavor and really missed the mark on the texture of a good scone."
"These tasted great but I had a little trouble getting the strawberries kneaded in without the dough becoming sticky. I think it might be better to add the berries to the dry ingredients after you cut the butter in. Then add the cream and gently knead five times. I think that's what I will try next time I make them."
"Pretty good, as far as scones go. Not to dry, like some are. Very strawberry-y."
"My family loved these scones - disappeared in a few minutes. Just a few notes - when you add the cream the mixture will be crumbly but becomes a dough when you add the strawberries. We added some whipped cream on top (spray bottle was easy) to make them even better."
"Exactly to recipe an excellent scone"

About "Mission: Toy Rescue" by Krakaboom
Mission: Toy Rescue
Design by Krakaboom
Here's a word of warning, young ones:
When the Robot Army comes - and they will come - they'll have no use for human slaves. They'll have no need for food. They'll care nothing for shelter, or clothing, or furry pets.
No. All they'll want is your toys. And they'll stop at nothing to get them - all of them, every last yoyo, Rubik's cube and teddy bear.
So what will you do then, young ones? I ask you, what will you do then? Give up playtime forever? Never brush Barbie's hair again? Stop chasing the family dog with a remote control buggy? Not hit another baseball into your neighbour's window?
Or will you sound the call for the rebellion, gather your forces from around the world - and take back what is rightfully yours?
The choice is yours.

A hard morning for Bangkok commuters as BTS gets a late start
Thousands of Bangkokians were left scrambling for taxis, buses and commuter vans Tuesday morning after the BTS Skytrain delayed operations until 10am due to a blockage on the tracks at Chidlom station.
The Nation reported that at 5am a group of protesting red shirts carried several tires up to the Chidlom BTS station and threw them onto the tracks, though the red shirt leaders said on stage at the Rajprasong rally site that the decision to block the tracks was not made by them. The Skytrain authority then ordered the suspension of all services shortly before the scheduled openings at 6am.
Some of the stranded Bangkokians decided to take their personal vehicles, adding to the city's already dismal traffic situation, while the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority added more buses and vans to aid commuters. According to the BTS website, Bangkok's Skytrain system serves about 450,000 passengers a day.
The BTS has since resumed operations, though it will stop running at 8pm on Tuesday. Twitter was filled with tweets from Bangkokians offering updates on the blockages and traffic issues, as well as their frustrations, such as these:
"I was at Saphan Kwai. Took MRT instead. Inside the train is bumper to bumper [packed]."
- dchin888
"Traffic is really bad on Sukhumvit//i'm turning back home; can go nowhere!"
- Chotechai
"The bus's become the bts this morning! Absolutly packed! http://twitpic.com/1irhyu"

Question On Strobe Hideaway Install
Discussion in 'Strobe Lighting' started by fordtruck661, Apr 8, 2011.


text:
Notice: As-User has replaced the previous On-Behalf-Of functionality. As-User is more robust because it is tied to a static user_id instead of a dynamic email address that may change. On-Behalf-Of functionality will continue to be supported, but we recommend migrating to the As-User header. Please refer to the documentation for further details.
When an admin of a Box enterprise account logs into the admin console, she gets to see a list of all of the users in that enterprise. The admin can go through this list and change various settings for each user, such as the email address they have associated with that account.
The Box API already provides access to these settings through the various methods on our /users endpoint. However, there is one additional feature in the admin console that hasn't yet been exposed through the API, the 'Log in to this account' feature.
When the admin clicks this link for a particular user, they're automatically logged in to the account of that particular user i.e.
Once the admin is logged in as that particular user, she can perform any action on behalf of that user, such as creating folders, deleting items, rearranging the account, and so on. Anything the individual user can do in their own account can now be done by the admin.
As of today, you can also do this through the API! We've created a special header called "On-Behalf-Of" that enables the same functionality you have in the admin console, except through the API. Whenever you include the "On-Behalf-Of" header as an admin, you'll effectively be making API calls as the user indicated in the "On-Behalf-Of" header. Anything the individual user can do in their own account through the API can now be done by the admin through the API. This has many practical applications, including simple tasks such as pre-configuring a user's account, as well as more involved processes like implementing Data Loss Prevention systems.
Here's a more in-depth example of how to use the API. Let's say you're an admin of an enterprise account, and you would like to get a list of items that are in the root folder of one of your users, firstname.lastname@example.com. After authenticating an admin account through OAuth 2, you would set up the API call as a normal GET /folders/{id}/items call except you will also include an "On-Behalf-Of" header indicating that you want to do this on the behalf of firstname.lastname@example.com i.e.
[bash]curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/0/items \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_OF_THE_ADMIN" \
-H "On-Behalf-Of: email@example.com"[/bash]
the response would be the root folder of email@example.com, not that of the admin. This functionality extends to any endpoint the user could access through the API by themselves e.g. /folders, /files/ /events and more.
On-behalf-of requires a special scope that must be enabled by the Box team-please let us know if you're interested in using it by submitting a case.

Bon Jovi Group Continues On In Bid For Bills
Buffalo N.Y.- The Toronto Sun is reporting that the Bon Jovi/Toronto bid group has been advised it is indeed a finalist in the Buffalo Bills sale.
The group is scheduled to meet with representatives of the Wilson family on Tuesday in Manhattan.
The group made up of Jon Bon Jovi, Maple Leafs chairman Larry Tanenbaum and the Rogers family last Tuesday resubmitted its first-round, non-binding bid for the club.
That after Morgan Stanley, the investment bank handling the sale for Wilson's trust rejected the groups initial non-binding bid -- First, because the bid was reported to have been uncompetitively low and Secondly, because too much doubt existed whether they really intended to keep the team in Western New York.
