When I see a belly button pierced with a ring or some other ungodly thing, I here it ring out against the insanity of it all. What is the purpose of drilling a hole through your flesh and inserting a useless ugly metal ring? Shall I clip on a dog leash and pull you around? How about a ring through the nose? Bulls have rings in their noses so they can be led around the barnyard without fear that the bull will resist. Bulls obey the ring since it causes pain to pull against it.
Now what on Earth is a human being doing with a ring in his nose or anywhere else the demented mind can think of? How about the eyelid, the cheek, the lips, the private parts, you name it and someone has pierced it. The only body part these people don't need to pierce is their brain since it already has been pierced with a dagger of stupidity. Some people have more metal attached to their body than a metal detector would know what to do with. In case no one has told you, you look incredibly ugly and foolish.
Anyone concerned about infections? You should be. Anytime you puncture the body you allow for infection to set in. Why on Earth would you want to invite the possibility of an infection? Just get one of those rings caught on something and have it ripped out. Not only would that be extremely painful, but think how long it would take to heal. Think about the risk of infection then. Not only that, but now you've got a nasty scar. Imagine it tearing out your lip or some other sensitive area. If you were to use a limousine service how foolish would you feel if it started bleeding all over the seats?Continue reading

This is the only known section of the original Estate Gate still in Oakdale. It is now located at the 5 corners intersection- across from the Curtin Student Center, and next to the Well. At one time it was located in Oakdale, somewhere along Montauk Highway, between the two gate houses.

The actual Entrance Gate itself was moved to William K Vanderbilt Jr's Eagle's Nest in Centerport, NY in 1926. It is still there today. Notice how the scroll work visible on the Oakdale Gate, The Eagle's Nest Gate, and the Well all match each other.

Central District Police bust burglary ring
Central District Police bust burglary ring
Police staff from Palmerston North, Whanganui, and the Taranaki have been working together in response to a series of burglaries committed across area borders over the past six weeks.
The offenders had been targeting both residential homes and farms where significant amounts of property, jewellery, money, vehicles, and items of sentimental value were stolen. Approximately 70 homes in Whanganui and 15 homes in South Taranaki had been targeted.
As a result of collective efforts and assistance from the public and local media, officers have executed several warrants at Whanganui and Hawera addresses. In total five people were arrested in relation to the burglaries. A 42-year-old Whanganui man has been charged with receiving stolen property and a 32-year-old Whanganui woman has appeared before the court and plead guilty to 2 burglaries.
Three people from the Taranaki including two men aged 24 and 25, and a woman aged 30 have been arrested and all three have been charged with burglary and unlawful taking.
Acting Sergeant Aaron Bunker from the Whanganui Strategic Crime Group says: "The cooperation between Policing Areas has been instrumental in achieving these results and we take this type of offending very seriously. There is no better feeling for officers than when we can return items of considerable sentimental value to the rightful owner."
Detective Heath Karlson from the Stratford CIB and officer in charge of the arrests says it is becoming more common for offenders to travel out of town and district to commit crimes only to return in an attempt to dispose of the property.
"If anyone sees any suspicious activity including that of people offering items of value for sale and low priced we encourage them to report it to Police. Burglary can have detrimental effects on the morale of people who have been burgled.
"I advise all members of the public to lock their homes and put security measures in place to minimise the risk. Unfortunately the offenders for these crimes lack the moral compass which grounds most of society and they will continue to offend and commit burglaries ignoring the effects on their victims. By being prepared and putting security measures in place members of the public can aid in reducing these crimes, says Detective Karlson.
Protect yourself and your community by taking some simple steps:
Make sure your
house, vehicles, sheds and garages are secured at all times
and use effective catches and locks.
Don't leave a spare door key hidden outside.
Invest in an alarm, quality deadlocks and security lighting.
Keep valuables out of view.
Make the house look lived in - put lights on automatic timers and have someone open and close curtains and take the post in.
Make sure plants and trees are well trimmed - don't give thieves a place to hide.
Mark your property so it can be easily identified if recovered
Make a list of property and record serial numbers
Take photos of unique items such as jewellery and ornaments
Don't put empty boxes from new purchases out with the rubbish as it advertises what is in your house - take them to be recycled.
Getting to know your neighbours is also effective in the fight against crime.
A great way to prevent burglaries is to report any suspicious behaviour to your local Police Station or call 111. Police appreciate it when people call about things that are not quite right in their neighbourhood. If you have a gut feeling that something is wrong then it probably is.
Householders should also take advantage of Operation SNAP which enables anyone to record serial numbers and other unique identifying details of their valuable goods on an electronic database for free.

While still a young officer serving in the U. S. Navy on board a destroyer in the Aegean Sea, I was Officer of the
Deck one evening, maintaining our ship's position in column with two other vessels. The lead ship was a British destroyer, we
were second in line, and the third was an Italian corvette. We were each rather close with a 200 yard interval between ships.
The Captain of our ship was in the Wardroom with the other officers watching the evening movie. He had standing orders to
be contacted anytime a ship was to come within 10,000 yards of our ship.

Not a PPTP problem, but a LanManager problem. You will have no name

Mischa Barton Strips Down to Her Underwear For Noel Gallagher Music Video — Watch It Now (VIDEO)
Mischa Barton, 26, was spotted running around the streets of Los Angeles in leopard-printed underwear, all for the music video for Noel Gallagher's new single, 'Everybody's On the Run.'A few months ago,
Well, at long last, the finished product has been released!
So, what exactly happened to Barton's clothes?
In the video, which you can check out above, the former star of The O.C. gets her dress caught in the door of a cab that Gallagher is driving. When Gallagher speeds off, the shocked starlet starts running after him through the streets, even though she is, you know, down to her underwear.
Taking a cue from Barton, the unnamed man chases after his shoes. To his utter surprise (not to mention luck), he winds up falling in love with the actress after they bump into each other.
Apparently, losing clothes leads to finding true love!

Gatto hits headlines in Noosa
IF INNOCENT man Mick Gatto keeps a newspaper scrapbook of his colourful life surrounded by colourful identities except when they don regulation black at funerals it would be brimming with headlines from the nation's dailies, from "Gatto knew of contract to kill him, court told" to "The new Chateau Gatto is a house of Plenty" and "Noodles vie with pizza in Carlton".
The strain of killing Andy Veniamin in self-defence at the now defunct La Porcella, his subsequent stint on remand (the best diet ever) and his acquittal must have made Gatto determined to stop and smell the espresso. Recent headlines suggest Gatto and wife Cheryle were selling up to seek the quiet life in Noosa, preferring moonlit walks along Hastings Street to the sound of hoon-mobiles in Lygon Street, but his purchase of a $2 million hacienda in Lower Plenty put the rumour mill into confusion. Incidentally, the house bears an uncanny resemblance to the sprawling abode of mob boss Tony Soprano in The Sopranos. Spooky.
Noosa mayor Bob Abbot has already warned Gatto to behave if he ventures to the Sunshine Coast because even little ripples will be noticed. Gatto's scrapbook is about to become fatter because a Diary reader back from Noosa reports Gatto made headlines in the local Noosa News. Under the sub-heading "Noosa Concerns" is the headline "Gangland figure's new life in Noosa" and another sub-heading "Noosa People" is followed by "Noosa's charms attract all types underworld figures already living among us".
The story by Frank Wilkie begins: "If you're concerned Melbourne underworld figures like Mick Gatto might move to Noosa, don't worry. They're here already."
Then, in the letters to the editor, Sally Moroney comes to Gatto's defence: "Noosa residents will no doubt be amused by the fuss about the Victorian gangland figure who has chosen to retire in the area. After all, the Noosa we see today was largely founded by characters from the south with very dubious reputations. At least this chap was acquitted in a court of law."
That's Melbourne, the city of characters on the move with their dubious reputations.
Sour taste
FLEMINGTON'S marquees are a distant memory, even though the henna tattoos from Emirates on Derby Day still linger, but the outdoor catering venue at State Parliament continues to sustain ravenous MPs while the ancient kitchen is brought into the modern era. Gourmet "roll's" are $5 but there is no extra charge for the errant apostrophe, and a BBQ special is chicken kebabs with lettuce, tomato and "scour" cream. As if MPs have the time to run around and find it.
WHO said badfellas don't have a heart? Underworld executioner Evangelos Goussis, being led away in handcuffs from Justice Bernard Teague in the Supreme Court last week to await the jury's eventual guilty verdict over the murder of Lewis Caine with mate Keith Faure, let out an impassioned cry from the dock: "Anastasia I am one of your biggest fans." That's Anastasia Salamastrakis, Channel Seven court reporter. Fellow hacks burst into laughter, she blushed and eventually blurted out, " Thanks." News director Steve "Scarey" Carey is all for compliments but wishes prisoner viewing counted in the ratings.
No cream
PR AWARD for the month is in the bag already for the Victorian strawberry producers who yesterday afternoon delivered a dozen punnets of plump and juicy Place To Be strawberries to Jon Faine's morning program on Aunty 774. Salivating staffers, eager hands ripping at the cling-wrap, soon found themselves covered in tiny crawling insects that, having escaped the strawberry patch, went hunting for a new home in hair, clothing and other bug-friendly habitat. Last seen, Mr Faine was galloping down the corridor, slapping at his shirt.
No Kiddling
"WE do not make up stories," trumpeted Ashley Gray, editor of The Picture, about steamy nude shots of Australian Princess contestant Laura Kiddle being reprinted in Wednesday's edition (Diary, yesterday). Laura whinged to Diary that the interview was concocted but Gray said: "We have notes from the interview." And this is what kooky Laura said: "'I've caught three or four penguins. I take them to bed and feed them curry. Usually madras because their little beaks can't handle naan." Hot and steamy, indeed. Laura also objected to the mag using her celebrity status by putting her on the cover without her permission, but Gray said it was a compliment: "That's how much more we appreciate her! She signed off and gave us permission to use the images as much as we like. It's only enhancing her celebrity." Not what every aspiring princess needs.
Very lice
DIARY always relishes an invitation with a difference. How's this email from Omentum Media for the launch of Velocity software the first-ever product "licecycle" management for second and third-tier businesses. Not sure about the offerings at a "nice buffet lunch" in Coathanger City on Thursday. Wonder if hair inspections are compulsory to gain entry. Someone should alert the Health Department.
High noon
BIG Ronald Walker and bigger Justin Madden run a tight Commonwealth Games ship but they have ensured what could become a logistical nightmare will be a smooth sailing extravaganza. The glossary in the Traffic and Transport Guide clarifies that midnight is 12am and midday is 12pm. Just in case there is any confusion. Just in case our overseas guests are overcome by the northern/southern hemisphere switcheroo.
Hiss of death
THOSE poor old Taswegians continue to cop a bucketing for being slightly different, especially after Diary brought you the photo of Cow Shit Avenue last week. Who needs a road map when you can follow your nose? Here on the mainland we have the scenic Buena Vista Drive, Bona Vista Road, Bonnyview Street, Bonview Crescent and even Bonza View, but the isle of Premier Paul Lennon has Boa Vista Road. Watch out for those snakes in the grass.
Forgive, forget
UNFORGETTABLE, in every way. Channel Seven ended its 10.30am news yesterday with presenter Anna Coren (right) rewriting history: "And just before we go, it was 30 years ago today that the nation was rocked by the sacking of the Whitlam Labor Government. Many Australians will remember Prime Minister Gough Whitlam's historic declaration on the steps of Parliament." Many viewers will remember Seven was four days early. One way to beat the opposition.
Prancing with the stars, Brodie causes a pink fit
FROM one camp to another. Magpie muscle man Brodie Holland returned home from his training camp in Arizona to learn that New York's pink boys are agog at his buffed torso. The camp brigade salivates in newyorkcityboys.com: "Aussie AFL footballer hotness Brodie Holland shook his money maker last month in the Oz version of Dancing With the Stars and lived to tell about it. Would our athletes be bold enough to wear a leopard print leotard? Ggrrrrowwlll!!!" It's actually a tiger skin, but vision can be impaired when there's unrest in the jungle. "Hmmm . . . I'd like to catch that tiger by the tail!" writes Roger K. Calm, boys. Calm. His fiancee, Sarita Stella, has already got him.

Which is correct?: men, women, and children. Or men, women and children.
Some authorities, including many newspaper style sheets, say that you don't need a comma after the last item in a series when it is preceded by a conjuction. The reasoning is that the conjunction (e.g., and) separates the last item from the rest of the list.
Other authorities insist that you do need the comma before the conjunction. This so-called "Oxford comma" is necessary because a conjunction joins words. It makes no sense to have a conjunction both join and separate the items in a list. (This is the rule that I have taught and live by.)
But now a court has weighed in, sort of. Consider this phrase in a legal description of work rules that define what does not merit overtime pay:
The canning, processing, preserving,
freezing, drying, marketing, storing,
packing for shipment or distribution of:
(1) Agricultural produce;
(2) Meat and fish products; and
(3) Perishable foods.
Look at the conjunction "or." Is "packing for shipment or distribution" one thing. Or is it referring to two separate processes as part of the previous list?: "packing for shipment, or distribution. . . ."?
"Packing for shipment or distribution" would not earn overtime pay. But just plain distribution–the guys who drive the trucks–would get overtime. If there is an Oxford comma, however, "distribution" would be a separate category that would not get overtime and the truck drivers would be out of luck.
I would say that what governs the series is not so much whether or not there is a comma but another rule for series: that they have grammatically parallel constructions. This is a series of gerunds: -ing added to a verb to make a noun. We have eight of them: processing, preserving, freezing, drying, marking, storing, packing.
At stake in the grammar and punctuation of this sentence is much money in overtime pay and back wages. See how the judge ruled after the jump. [Read more…]

Dear all m0n0wall gurus,
I have a small problem with captive portal feature. Although I already
listed my computer to the list of Pass-Through MAC, for some reason every
morning after I turned on my computer, I cannot get my emails right away. I
found out that I need to open a browser and browse any website first to make
the Pass-Through MAC realize that I want to be online to get my emails and
instant messaging, etc.
After I open a browser and browse any website, then I can do my Internet
activities again normally.
Any thoughts or tips on this. It would be great if I can still YM or emails
without having to open a browser first. It is just annoying.
Tried the latest m0n0wall as well and it does the same thing.
Thank you

Another one bites the dust
Dan Juneau - Jun 22, 2006
At the moment, only four days remain in the legislative session. Time enough to do harm, time enough to do good-and perhaps time enough to add a bit more to the record level of state spending. The voters who pay attention to the legislative process will probably focus on two things in the 2006 Regular Session: The first is the record budget headed for the governor's desk; the second is the ethanol mandate that will likely hit them in their wallets.

Nowadays automakers are supplying radios that not only play music from a wide array of sources — CDs, DVDs, iPods, USB drives and SD cards — but also integrate navigation, Bluetooth and conveniences such as back-up cameras. With stock radios offering so much, why would anyone want to replace one with an aftermarket head unit?
One reason is to get exactly what you want — or don't want — in a car stereo. Another is to get the latest and greatest in technology and features, since aftermarket manufacturers can update their products and get them to market much faster than automakers.
High-end head units typically represent the very best the aftermarket has to offer. So we picked the flagships from four marquee brands and spent hours on the road testing their capabilities. While they're all great products — and they should be, considering their steep prices — our goal was to find what each one does and does not do well so you can pick the best high-end head unit for your car.
Note that they're all double-DIN size (meaning twice as tall as a normal car radio) and all prices are suggested retail, which does not include installation.
Alpine IVA-W505
Price: $1,100
Pros: Lowest price, DVD-Audio capability, multiple navigation options
Cons: Hard buttons are too small, dated interface, difficult to navigate with an iPod playlist
Like all the head units tested here, Alpine's IVA-W505 will play almost any disc format: CD, DVD-Video, all manner of recordable disc, and it's the only one that plays DVD-Audio discs. It's also the only one that comes with a USB iPod connection cable that isn't an extra-cost accessory, but if you want "full speed" iPod access you have to spring for an optional cable. The 505's USB port also accommodates USB drives and other USB-based portable media players or even a second iPod, and the head unit will also play iPod videos.
We swapped the IVA-W505 for the optional radio and navigation system in a 2007 Chevrolet Corvette coupe that also included a seven-speaker Bose premium audio setup. Even with the factory speakers still in place, we found that the 505 greatly improved the sound.
While the IVA-W505's 7-inch screen makes the head unit easy to operate (it also comes with a remote control), the graphic user interface (GUI) looks dated and the 505's "hard" buttons on the bottom are small and difficult to operate. Plus, it's impossible to navigate within an iPod playlist once you've started listening to it; you can only skip forward or backward to the next song.
What makes the IVA-W505 unique is that it can be used with three different Alpine navigation systems: the $500 Blackbird PMD-B200 portable, the $300 NVE-P1 module (both of which docked inside the unit when the screen folds down) or the $450 NVE-M300 outboard nav module. We tested it with the Blackbird portable and NVE-M300 outboard add-on and found that each one has advantages and disadvantages.
The upside of the Blackbird portable is that you can move it from car to car and it has built-in Bluetooth, whereas with the NVE-M300 you have to buy the $180 KCE-400BT module to add Bluetooth. And while the Blackbird's GUI was less elegant than that of the NVE-M300, the portable unit allowed for better access to a phone's address book. For instance, you can search by name and it supports multiple numbers per contact, whereas the outboard unit does not.
But since nav and Bluetooth functions run on the Blackbird's operating system instead of that of the head unit, a phone has to be re-synced each time the car or head unit is switched off, which isn't the case with the outboard module. Finally, although the outboard module offers Text-to-Speech (TTS) capability to read street names on a route, its robotic-sounding voice is less easy to understand than the non-TTS voice on the Blackbird that uses prerecorded but unspecific prompts.
Eclipse AVN726E
Price: $1,299
Pros: Easy and quick interface, 3D renderings in navigation mode, ability to add traffic-camera locations and warnings
Cons: No quick-scroll feature for iPods, slow satellite-acquisition time, hard to understand nav voice prompts
The Eclipse AVN726E also replaced a stock Bose system, this time in a 2004 Cadillac CTS-V, and it made a dramatic difference in sound quality, adding clarity and good low end. By adding the AVN726E, the Caddy gained DVD/MP3/WMA playback, Bluetooth for both hands-free phoning and wireless music streaming, and a USB connection. And by adding external modules, the car also gained iPod integration, a back-up camera and XM or Sirius Satellite Radio and HD Radio.
Like the other heads tested, the AVN726E has dual-zone A/V capability and can serve as the basis for a rear-seat entertainment system when monitors and other components are added. And it's also only one of two that plays compressed DivX videos.
While the GUI of the AVN726E's 7-inch touchscreen isn't the most sophisticated, it's easy to use and responds quickly to inputs. (A remote control is also available, although we didn't test it.) But accessing music on a fully loaded, high-capacity iPod is tedious since there's no quick-scroll function, only up/down buttons that have to be pressed repeatedly to get to the tunes you want.
For navigation the Eclipse AVN726E uses flash-based memory, so it routes or reroutes quickly. But it can be slow to acquire satellite connection, taking up to a minute in some instances. The AVN726E map graphics are the best of the bunch and include realistic 3D renderings of buildings and other structures. And if a 3D image blocks a destination, the image dims to reveal it.
The Eclipse AVN726E's nav system is the only one that allows you to add traffic camera locations, and it will also sound an alert when you're approaching one. But one of our main gripes was that the TTS voice prompts were close to indecipherable at times.
Editor's Note: After completion of our testing, Eclipse announced its departure from the U.S. market. While the company's products may still be available — and possibly at bargain prices — this will obviously affect long-term product support.
Kenwood Excelon DNX9140
Price: $1,899
Pros: Unique reverse-tilt screen reduces glare, great Garmin navigation interface, sends and receives text messages
Cons: Unstable DVD playback, slow USB connectivity, can't add both satellite and HD Radio
As the replacement head unit in a 2008 Honda Odyssey that's an Edmunds.com vanpool vehicle, Kenwood's DNX9140 got ample road test time and use. It has a CD/DVD drive, navigation, Bluetooth and the ability to add everything from an iPod to HD Radio. Its 6.98-inch touchscreen also features an exclusive reverse tilt mechanism that shifts the top forward to reduce glare.
One of the big selling points of the DNX9140 is that it uses Garmin's nav technology, including a user-friendly interface. It's also hard-drive-based for quick routing and rerouting and includes mapping for the entire U.S. (including Alaska and Hawaii) and Canada.
Kenwood also outsources Bluetooth on the DNX9140 to Parrot, and along with features such as auto address book download and music streaming, it has the ability to send and receive text messages. The DNX9140's voice activation is not only used for Bluetooth functions such as dialing a name and number, but also allows you to set a nav destination and control all audio functions.
And so you don't always have to reach for the head unit while driving, a remotely mounted "Push to Talk" button can be used to execute voice commands and the DNX910's screen will even show a list of available commands.
The DNX9140's dual-zone and DivX capabilities were custom-made for our commuter van, but we found DVD playback a little unstable, sometimes requiring a system restart. The head unit also has a USB port that can be used to connect certain iPods using the cable that comes with the device, and it will also play iPod video. With an optional accessory cable, it's compatible with any iPod. It also has a long list of iPod-friendly features, such as alphabet search and album art display, and quick iPod access speeds. But we found that the DNX9140 was slow with other USB-based devices.
Optional accessories that can be used to expand the DNX9140's capabilities include a rearview camera, HD radio and either Sirius or XM Satellite Radio. But unlike the other units we tested, with the DNX9140 you can only add either HD Radio or satellite radio, but not both.
Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT
Price: $1,800
Pros: Customizable "desktop"-style display, excellent voice control, SD card capability
Cons: Pricey with all the accessories added, voice dialing was hit or miss, iPod cable costs extra
Like the Kenwood head unit, Pioneer's AVIC-Z110BT also has voice control, and like the others it has either hard-disk or flash-based navigation, dual-zone A/V capability, an extensive list of media options and impressive sound quality, and allows you to add accessories such as a back-up camera and live traffic/travel info via MSN Direct.
But it differs from the other units in that its 7-inch touchscreen can be customized like a computer desktop so owners can decide which functions to display on the home screen. And Pioneer's exclusive AVIC Feeds computer software allows you to send destinations found on Google Maps to the head unit, back up and manage the nav system's address book, track driving and fuel economy habits and more. There's even a free iPhone app for the AVIC-Z110BT that can send destinations from Google Maps on an iPhone to the nav system.
The AVIC-Z110BT also excels in voice activation and uses conversational speech recognition so you can just say, for example, "Find a Starbucks" instead of a rigid set of voice commands. But we did notice that dialing by voice from a connected Bluetooth device was hit or miss and requires you to say the name exactly as it's listed in a phone's address book.
The AVIC-Z110BT was installed in a 2007 Subaru Impreza with a full-on aftermarket system that includes pairs of Kicker component speakers in the front and rear doors and a trunk-mounted JL Audio Stealthbox subwoofer, all powered by Kicker amplifiers. Thanks to a potent 4-volt preamp output and powerful audio processors, the AVIC-Z110BT provides CD-quality sound for all uncompressed iPod formats, while audio quality from all sources was superb.
As with the other units tested, all sorts of accessories can be added to the AVIC-Z110BT: iPod integration, HD Radio, XM or Sirius Satellite Radio and a back-up camera. But it's the only unit that has a built-in SD card reader for access to even more flash-based digital tunes. When an iPod is connected via an optional cable, you get full access to media stored on the device using simple on-screen menus and the ability to display cover art. The Z110 will also display iPod videos and even H.264/MPEG-4 video files stored on an SD card.
Keep Your Head?
With automakers now offering more features on their radios — and sometimes more bang for the buck — there's less reason to spend more than $1,000 to replace yours with an aftermarket head unit that does a similar if better job. But if your stock head unit lacks the features and performance you want or you must have the latest and greatest gadgets, it's hard to go wrong with one of these high-end head units.

Antonia Wright on Art Live Fair's Hidden Music, Stage Diving, and High-Energy Playtime
Kansas City-based art collective Whoop Dee Doo brings the party to Art Live Fair this weekend.
With upwards of fifty individual artists, artist collaboratives, performance ensembles, dancers, musicians and writers, this year's dynamic lineup at the Art Live Fair promises a three-day immersion into the creative process fairgoers will long remember.
Beginning Friday at 5:30 p.m. and running through Sunday at the Coconut Grove Convention Center the ground-breaking event formerly known as Wynwood Art Fair is an art fair unlike any other in the nation.
Think of it as an intense, hands-on creative playground where visitors both young and young-at-heart can look at, hear, touch, taste, feel, love art and above all unleash their creative side, all while supporting Miami's Lotus House women's shelter, say organizers.
We talked to artist Antonia Wright, one of event's curators, about the edgy, wacky, and unique art on display this weekend.

Cultist: As the performance curator, what is your strategy and concept behind curating this specific lineup and what can the public expect to discover?
Antonia Wright: Each work in the event is performance-based, interactive, and engages the audience. I was looking for projects where the viewer co-created the piece through their interaction with the work. I liked works that considered themes of the shelter and that were really really fun. This year, we are featuring Miami-based artists in the exhibition. We have over 60 artists participating. I wanted Art Live to be almost like a time capsule of the scene here and reflect those who are making art in Miami now.
How will Art Live rise above the sheer visual noise and competition for eyeballs typically associated with events such as Art Basel, where experiencing art in a relaxed, contemplative state can be next to impossible?
I think one of the most exciting aspects of the event is how we play with expectation. We have come to associate Art Fairs with this dizzying maze of art hung too closely together with bad carpet. Art Live in a non-commercial art fair and nothing inside is for sale. This is really an event that brings people together to celebrate community and support the Lotus House.
The Coconut Grove Convention Center is a 40,000-square-foot space with high ceilings. The layout of the event is completely open and all of the invited artists are placed on the floor throughout the venue. The center area really becomes a living, breathing, constantly changing stage of sorts to experiment with throughout the three days. At Art Live you can stay for all three days and experience something different every second. We have hot-pink bean bags that you can move around the space, take a seat, a watch what you like.
TM Sisters.
What type of performances have you organized for this event? Where are some of them from, and who is sponsoring them here?
We have every form of artist medium represented in the event. Each piece in the event is completely unique, like each woman at the shelter. This year Whoop Dee Doo is being sponsored by Miami Dade College and LegalArt. They are a performance group out of Kansas City that makes incredibly high-energy work. Christopher Astley is a sculptor from New York who is mixing concrete live at the event and stuffing beach balls and floaty whales with it on site. Brookhart Jonquil is sponsored by Dorsch Gallery and Yara Travieso, Chat Travieso by YoungArts. They are collaborating to create a piece that rises above the exhibitor walls. The viewer climbs up to one platform and look across the room and find another platform with an Opera box and a musician playing in front of it. The music carries the across the space for viewer to hear. I saw it being built last night and it looks amazing.
The TM Sisters are sponsored by MOCA are doing an interactive Green Screen/projection piece. Christina Pettersson is also doing a performance inspired by Marie Antoinette. She re-envisions her as a literati and in this performance there are 12 girls dressed in Victorian attire typing on 14 typewriters. Misael Soto is also doing a stage diving piece on Saturday night. He invited two bands to play and he is facilitating stage diving next to them. You lean back and a group of hands catch you as you fall back and move you around the space. It is magical.
Why do you think Art Live is such a hit with families and kids?
Our goal for the event, similar to the work being done at the Lotus House Shelter, is that it is accessible by all. We intentionally make the event very child-friendly with the hopes that many families come. Although the art is contemporary and at times edgy, it is fun and incredibly high energy. It is funny, with interactive art, it sometimes takes a little convincing for adults to jump in. Kids don't have this censor, they immediately want to participate which is why I think it is so fun for them.

Nigeria: Woman Speaks on Giving Birth to 'Three-Headed Baby'
Katsina — When Malama Zainab, a 19-year-old mother was rushed to the Malumfashi General Hospital in Katsina State on Sunday, March 3, 2013 while in labour, members of her family were eager for the twins an earlier scan revealed she will deliver.
However, they were disappointed when Zainab gave birth to a three-headed baby girl after a briefed labour. The entire family members were confused when they were informed about the unusual delivery, Weekly Trust learnt.
Members of the family who were present at the hospital including Zainab's husband, Malam Dahiru Umar busted into tears when they were informed about the abnormalities of the new baby. Mother of the baby on the other hand could not control her tears when she beheld the strange child.
Malama Zainab said "I was shocked when I was told I gave birth to three-headed baby girl; I busted into tears because I was baffled and upset with the development."
Recounting her ordeal to Weekly Trust at her matrimonial home at Unguwar Sodangi in Malumfashi town, Zainab said "the delivery had confused me, because I have never expected it in my life. During my ante-natal visits to hospital, I was told that I was carrying twins, but to my utmost surprise, I gave birth to a three-headed baby."
Zainab said though that was her first delivery, but she has never experienced any abnormality during her ante-natal, adding that "I also underwent normal labour before I finally delivered the baby through normal processes."
"I have considered the development as a destiny and a test from the Almighty Allah, which every Muslim is expected to accept in good faith. As a Muslim, I have accepted it in good faith and prayed for Allah's intervention. And I am sure Allah will not let us down as far as this issue is concerned, because He knows why this happened to us," she concluded.
Weekly Trust learnt that the three-headed baby was also delivered without eyes, but had a mouth, two legs and two hands like any other normal baby.
As at the time Weekly Trust visited Zainab's matrimonial house at Unguwar Sodangi in Malumfashi town, the house was full to its capacity with women, who converged to commiserate with her over the abnormal delivery.
Malam Umar the father of the baby said, "my wife has never missed her ante-natal checks at the Malumfashi General Hospital; I was personally taking her to the hospital whenever she has an appointment, but nobody ever told us that she was carrying a three-headed baby."
Umar, who spoke to Weekly Trust on phone from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), said the three-headed baby was referred to ABUTH for further examination after a successful delivery at the Malumfashi General Hospital.
He recalled that when Zainab started labor at home on Sunday, he took her to the hospital and health personnel on duty directed him to buy some items but on his return he met the new born baby.
The 25-year-old petty trader said his wife has never complained to him of any abnormality during her pregnancy and that when he was told that his she had given birth to the three-headed baby he left everything to God the Almighty.
"This is something that one cannot escape if Allah destined it to happen on him, so we have accepted it in good faith; if the baby is going to survive fine and if she cannot then we can only pray to Allah to in His infinite mercy give us another baby," he prayed.
Commenting on the delivery, Dr Ahmad Bala, a popular Pediatrics in Malumfashi, said the baby needed maximum medical examination to ascertain the nature of the abnormalities she was born with.
Bala said the medical examination included physical checks, x-ray and other diagnosis that would equipped a physician to speak properly on the matter at hand and possible remedies.
Residents of Malumfashi town in Malumfashi Local Government Area were stunned last Sunday when the news of the birth of three-headed baby filtered into the town.
Ibrahim Muhammad, a resident told Weekly Trust that the unusual delivery of the three-headed baby has shocked many residents in the area as it was the first time they had seen such a wonderful creature in their life.
Muhammad, however, said although they were shocked with the development, but as Muslims they believe nothing is beyond the power of Allah the Creator.
Another resident, Ilyasu Bello said "I am praying that this unusual delivery will strengthen our Iman, because to me the unusual birth was meant to strengthen our Iman; Allah has many ways of enlightening His creatures and this is one of such ways."
Bello appealed to the public to assist the family of the three-headed baby with prayers and cash donation, as according to him they are in need of such assistance at present.
However, Weekly Trust learnt that, Malumfashi local government has sponsored the three-headed baby to ABUTH for further necessary medical action.

Greek Style Chicken
February 4, 2013—Fearlessly Archived—Still a fun read, price & availability may have changed.
With Orzo, Spinach & Feta Cheese
Looking forward to a Greek island holiday, but just couldn't pull it off this year? We know how you feel. Luckily for all of us, there's Trader Joe's Greek Style Chicken with Orzo, Spinach and Feta Cheese. Inspired by the brilliant flavors of Greece, this is dinner-for-two as you might find at an ocean side resort: fresh, generous and loaded with traditional flavors.
Perfectly cooked orzo pasta is the canvas onto which we artfully blend spinach, feta cheese, Kalamata olives and sun-dried tomatoes. To this foundation we add chicken that's been seasoned with garlic and oregano, then complete the picture with a flourish of lemon and olive oil. Add a bit of crusty bread and glass of ouzo to go with that orzo (hey, work with us here!) and you will successfully transport yourself across oceans and continents, all for the excellent price of $6.49 for each 18 ounce package. That's a value no matter how you consider it, but especially so when you compare it to the price of a trans-oceanic journey. You'll find Greek Style Chicken in our refrigerated case—much closer than a Greek island.

I have a low radix and nose that is quite small and isn't very symmetrical with the rest of the face. I need to increase volume of nose to make it more masculine. I am not sure nosejob would have a good risk/reward ratio as there are not many surgeons specializing in this type of procedure, most of hte time people want a smaller nose. I thought about fillers as a solution as well. The question is - what is the best, most efficient and recommended solution for a small nose?
What is the Best Way to Make my Nose Stronger and Fix Low Radix?
Doctor Answers 4
Options for a low radix
The best way to augment a low radix will depend upon the degree of augmentation desired and amount of material required. Filler injections are not recommended at all and in the nose due to many complications that have occurred in the past. The rhinoplasty procedure to augment the radix is either performed with the patient's own septal cartilage from the nose or with a synthetic implant. A moderately low radix is typically treated with cartilage graft from the internal portion of the nasal septum. A significantly low radix such as commonly seen in the Asian population would require a synthetic silastic implant. This is the easiest and most efficient way to augment a low radix. In addition, the augmentation is reversible as the implant can be removed or exchanged for a smaller or larger size relatively easy, although this does require an additional surgery. This implant will give more dorsal projection and make the nose appear longer and larger.

Rhinoplasty can give you the nose you desire.

Rhinoplasty for the short nose.
Rhinoplasty for the short nose with a low radix can benefit from a radix graft of your own tissue from the inside of the nose. If the tip needs refinement this can be done at the same time. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for the best result.

How to make my nose appear more masculine.
From your pictures, it looks like you could benefit from a raised dorsal bridge. I prefer using a straight silastic dorsal inplant for this purpose. If the nasal tip needs to be refined, this can be done at the same time all through a closed Rhinoplasty.

Scott McClellan was one of George W. Bush's most loyal aides, so it is surprising to learn that he savages the president and his administration in his new memoir. Among other bombshells, McClellan refers to the administration's "propaganda campaign" to sell the war and accuses Karl Rove and Scooter Libby of meeting in secret during the Plamegate scandal in order to get their stories straight.
Among the most explosive revelations in the 341-page book, titled "What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception" (Public Affairs, $27.95):
—McClellan charges that Bush relied on "propaganda" to sell the war.
—He says the White House press corps went too easy on the administration.
—He admits that some of his own assertions from the briefing room podium turned out to be "badly misguided."
—The longtime Bush loyalist also suggests that two top aides held a secret West Wing meeting to get their story straight about the CIA leak case at a time when federal prosecutors were after them - and McClellan was continuing to defend them despite mounting evidence they had not given him the full facts.
—McClellan asserts that the aides—Karl Rove, the president's senior adviser, and Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the vice president's chief of staff - "had at best misled" him about their role in the disclosure of former CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.

Prof. Michael Fortun Meeting Times: T, F 2-3:50
Sage 5403 Place: Low 3116
Office Hours: T, F 4-5; also by appointment.
This syllabus is subject to change; the most recent version (with hyperlinks) can always be found at www.rpi.edu/~fortum.
An incredible array of new biotechnologies promise to transform not only our lives, but our bodies as well – and even our definition of "life." Genetic technologies, stem cells, robotics, human organ transplantation and xenotransplantation, nanotechnology, and a long list of other inventions and developments demand our most enthusiastic and our most critical responses. In this course we will analyze a number of these biotechnologies, and how scientists, legal scholars, novelists, activists, philosophers, and others imagine the biofutures that may be produced along with them.
Biofutures can be wild and imaginative: crazy schemes to bring about immortalized flesh, de-fleshed brains downloaded to silicon, new forms of "artificial life," or enhanced memory, cognition, or sexuality. Biofutures can be mundane: careful evaluation and planning to prevent bioterrorism, to improve public health infrastructure for developing nations, to ameliorate the devastating effects of dimly-understood genetic disorders, to plan a secure and equitable agriculture. But in all cases, biofutures demand multiple intellectual approaches – analyzing the science and technology, but also the social, cultural, and aesthetic dimensions of technoscientific change – and require that we become a more intelligent, engaged, and organized citizenry.
We will develop an understanding of how biosciences and biotechnologies, and the biofutures they inspire, embody the characteristics of an era which some have called "postmodernity." Postmodernity, or "the postmodern," is characterized by a number of qualities that can be seen in biotechnologies and biofutures, including:
Course Requirements and Grading
The course will be run as a seminar; lecturing will be minimized, and the focus will be on discussion of the readings and development of individual projects. Attendance and participation are therefore crucial, as is the desire to work independently on a topic of your choosing. There are no exams. Your final grade will be determined from:
Attendance and participation (30%): You are expected to attend each class session, to have read all assigned readings, and to participate fully in our collective deliberations about the topic. Period.
Writing assignments (30%): due as indicated in the syllabus. We will discuss format, content, and other specific issues as deadlines approach.
Final project and presentation (40%): BY the end of the course you will have thoroughly researched a topic that you will choose. We will discuss possibilities for these as the class progresses, and I will be happy to meet with people early in the semester to develop ideas. A research librarian will come to the class to provide an overview of research resources and strategies. The due dates of various assignments – brainstorming ideas, preliminary bibliographies, notes on articles, etc. – are indicated in the syllabus. Alternative projects – such as developing a web page, analyzing a series of science fiction novels, or producing a video – are possible, but my approval is necessary for all projects and topics. You will present your project to the rest of the class sometime in the last two weeks of the course.
In general, your project should center on a particular biotechnology, bioscience, or bioentity, and you will have to analyze it in all its hybrid complexity:
In the second half of the semester, we will spend a good deal of class time discussing your projects, how to research them, and how to present them.
Academic Dishonesty Policy
Academic honesty is especially important when students are developing independent research projects. It is critical that all work that you turn in is your own, and that it has not already been used to fulfill the requirements of another class. All parties to academic dishonesty are accountable. If you allow your work to be submitted by another student, you, too, will be held responsible. You should read the Rensselaer Handbook of Student Rights and Responsibilities so that you understand all the acts that constitute a violation of the Institute's academic dishonesty policy.
Plagiarism is the most frequent violation, sometimes because students are unfamiliar with what constitutes plagiarism. You should read the brief but thorough description found at Indiana University's plagiarism page (http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/wts/plagiarism.html).
I have a policy of zero tolerance for plagiarism—no negotiation, no remediation. If you commit any such act, you will – at minimum – receive an F for that assignment and be subject to RPI's judicial process. Failure of the entire course is also within my rights as instructor.
In all written assignments – including research memos -- citations must be included for both indirect and direct quotation, providing clear documentation of sources. Note that I may request submission of all your sources so that I can check the accuracy of your citations. For an example of the software tools available to me for detecting plagiarism, see Turnitin.com. Simple Google searches have also been shown to be surprisingly effective.
gender-neutral language
Contemporary standards of language use encourage gender-neutral language. Male-gender pronouns or words like "man" to refer to everyone are not empirically accurate. In this course please use gender-neutral language, as reviewed by the Rensselaer Writing Center at http://www.rpi.edu/web/writingcenter/genderfair.html.
grade appeals
I consider myself – and my record backs me up – to be not only a fair, but a generous grader. You are, of course, free to appeal any grade you receive on an assignment or for a final grade. Be advised, however, that with the additional attention I would give to your request, it is possible that your grade may go down instead of up.
You may appeal a grade through a written statement describing the grounds on which a change of grade is considered appropriate. The written statement should reference one of the three criteria identified in the Student Handbook as grounds for appeal. According to the Handbook, the "allegation must be based upon a violation of the course syllabus, a violation of Institute policy, or a violation of the student's rights under the Student Bill of Rights."
electronic citizenship and practice
Please familiarize yourself and abide by Rensselaer's policy on electronic citizenship. Also make sure to back-up your course material very frequently.

Outline your full paper, including an introductory section, a background section, at least two middle sections and a conclusion. Include a draft 1-2 paragraph introductory statement that briefly articulates your main and sub arguments, and gives readers a sense of how your presentation of these arguments will be laid out in the remaining text. A strong introductory statement often starts with a compelling example or story that draws readers in, and gives them a sense of the stakes. The outline for the background section should lay out a discussion of your topic, and also a discussion of how the topic has been dealt with by other scholars. The middle section will pose the most difficulties because it is here that you must lay out your sub arguments, and the evidence and examples that you will use to support them. If you think you have a conclusion, try to articulate it now.

Olympiakos-Real in basket final
Olympiakos Piraeus will defend their Euroleague basketball title against Real Madrid in the final today after both teams recorded victories at London's 02 Arena late Friday.
In a rematch of the climax to last year's European season, Olympiakos pulled clear of CSKA Moscow in the first quarter and eventually won 69-52.
Real then came back from nine points down in the last quarter to overpower arch-rivals Barcelona 74-67 in the other semi-final.
Barcelona take on CSKA for third place this afternoon before Real and Olympiakos clash later in the evening.
