Athens, Greece (CNN)Virginia, dressed in a scarlet red jumpsuit, paces back and forth in front of a simple wooden desk. She's counting in Greek, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6", like clockwork. She's attempting to mimic an analogue machine and she, the human clock, will continue to keep time, without pause, for eight hours a day over the course of seven weeks.
Marina Abramovic introduces 'As One', her latest project in Athens
Over a year in the making, this is Abramovi's latest project.
Throughout March and April visitors to the Benaki museum will be invited to participate in her now well-known 'Abramovic Method'. After completing the Method — a series of exercises involving breathing, stretching, donning a pair of sound-canceling headphones and being tucked into an army barrack-style bed by a complete stranger, among other things — visitors can make their way up to the main exhibition rooms where a group of hand selected local artists will be performing, under the guidance Abramovi, a series of long-durational works of "immaterial art".
Abramovi's developing legacy
Abramovi is arguably the most recognized figure in the performative arts space and after more than 40 years of work and with her 70th birthday pending, she wants to give back: "I really believe that the function of the artist is to be servant to society. I also believe that it's not enough to make your own work, you have to have more commitments and one of the commitments for me was always with teaching."
"I'm not doing my work here, I'm not showing my work, I'm not performing. I'm completely concentrated on the education program."
In her words
CNN Style met with Abramovi in Greece at the launch of the exhibition to discuss education, fame, dying and her next project.
When young students come to me and say "I want to be famous and rich", I say do something else. So many artists — great, great artists — never became famous in their lifetime. Look at El Greco; it was only 120 years after his death that people recognized his value.
Being famous shouldn't be the aim. But for it to happen you must first have enormous talent, then you have to sacrifice your life to what you want to do, then you have to have a little bit of luck and also an understanding of what society needs at the time. But you don't do this to be rich or famous, you do your work because you want to give a message and that message is all that matters.
Being famous helps. It took me 45 years to get to this position. It took me a long time to show that performance art is art, and when it happened society and the media took me to the place I am now. They've given me even more responsibility but at the same time they've given me a platform to talk about performance and help other artists who are just beginning and it's very important that I use these opportunities.
When you perform you have to consider your physical strengths and of course your state of mind. Most performance artists don't care about their body and they actually drive on willpower. For certain shorter periods of time you can overpass any obstacle with a strong will but in long-durational performance it's a whole different story. You have to have physical strength. This is why I developed a method called "cleaning the house" with young artists. I take them to places that are too hot, or too cold, where they are never comfortable in nature and we spend between five and ten days drinking herbal tea and water, not talking and doing extremely difficult physical exercises.
This year I'll celebrate my 70th birthday, which is a big deal. My grandmother lived to 103 and she said 'when you get to 70 you're really going to enjoy life'.
I'm very interested in dying. I'm thinking about dying every single day. I think dying is a part of living. We always think we are immortal but we could be hit by an asteroid during this interview. The moment you know you can die at any moment the only thing that is certain is the present and the present is all about performance.
My next project is called Seven Deaths. It's a project I've had in my mind for 26 years and I'm now about to realize it. It's about dying for love. It happened to me in my own private life that I almost died for love, but I didn't. So my dream is to play seven deaths in seven operas always being killed for love. The operas will be video installations directed by seven different directors and the man that will kill me will be the actor William Dafoe. We're also going to make a documentary called Living Seven Deaths.

Man....i really wish i saw that request within Cydia. Why was it on for such a short period of time!!! I never backed up my ibss and ibec files which was my own fault. I just never thought Apple would chooose to never allow a downgrade. I was under the impression those files were for future unlock of upgraded firmwares. boy was i wrong...well partially.
So for those of us who were careless... there is no way to upgrade to jailbreak/unlock in the future without those files? Ever? Ever ever?
I need my unlock to work so i can use international SIM cards when going to canada. :/

I got this fabulous little Sephora Favourites pack back in June for my birthday. I almost forgot a had it until I was cleaning my make up draw (does anyone else do that?). My guilty make up pleasure is little miniatures, I love trying out sample sizes of products before buying a full size, plus they are just so darn cute.
This pack mixes my two favourite things, lip and nail products. It also has given me a chance to try some beauty brands I've never tried before including Formula X nail polishes and Bite Beauty.
The lip products are to die for, you can't go wrong with anything labelled Hourglass, Bite and Tarte. They are all very sheer lip colours and are great for summery light make up days or for layering over your favourite lipstick.
The Nails Inc, Deborah Lippmann and Formula X nail polishes are amazing, and last a long time on the nails. My favourite is Formula X, it is definitely worth the hype - it goes on like a dream and is so quick drying, it's like magic.

Los Gatos Update
Well, I knew that the build process would be painful but I must say it is worse than I had ever anticipated. Mainly it is due to red tape at the county but amazingly there are issues with neighbors as well. On the county level, the very second you think something is on autopilot you get a call at the eleventh hour stating that there is now an issue with it. Case in point: the road abandonment. Road abandonment you may be asking? Yes, that is right, we have to have the last 96ft of Walla Walla Trail, which happens to run through our property, abandoned at the county level. This means rounding up letters from all utility companies who could require an easement saying that they are OK with it. This was done and everything was ready to go to the county board for approval in mid August. Then, the day before the required submittal date, I get a call stating the abandonment happens to go across the entire front of my neighbors property and before anything can go forward I need to get permission and allow them an easement. Now this of course brought everything to a screeching halt! No problem I thought, I'll just give my neighbor a call and get this resolved so as to get things back on track for an August approval. I proceeded to find out who the neighbor was and gave him a friendly call. To my surprise, he told me that he had been in discussion with the previous owner on this very matter. He also told me that the previous owner was talking about potentially paying to have a garage built for him and a new driveway in return for the approval. He said he would be happy to sit down with me and "figure out what this would cost." Holy shit!! He is telling me I am going to have to buy him off!!
I hung up and immediately decided that the road abandonment has to move to the other corner of his property since I will NOT be put in a corner like that. So that is where thing stand as of today. We are waiting to hear from the county if moving the abandonment triggers any other potential issues (my estimation is that it will absolutely trigger a host of new issues). So, the August board meeting is out for us and we are again in county planning limbo (aka county HELL).
I'll update again if we make any progress. If you never see another post about the build then please start sending money since we will have a really expensive piece of useless land…..

Good, clean hostel close to the streets where most of the bars are. A 15 min walk to downtown or the Washington park. Remember that HI hostels always ads a 3$ fee for EACH night you're staying if you're not a member. Also you weren't allowed to drink in the common areas. Which is weird in a city famous for its beers...

To celebrate or not to celebrate: a look at Pope Francis' multifaceted trip to Sweden
When the Vatican announced the pope's trip to Sweden for the events commemorating the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, many critical voices arised in the Catholic Church, asking why the pope was going to take part in the celebration of the anniversary of a schism. Cardinal Kurt Koch, president of the Pontifical Council for the Unity of Christians, thinks that the trip is multifaceted; firstly, it is a sign of the good relationship between Lutherans and Catholics. CARD. KURT KOCH President, Pontifical Council for Christian Unity "This is not just the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, but also the celebration of fifty years of dialogue between Lutherans and Catholics. Dialogue with Lutherans was the first bilateral conversation that the Church started after Vatican II, in 1967.â? Secondly, Cardinal Koch underlined the importance of the joint declaration by Catholics and Lutherans called "From Conflict to Communion,â? key to understanding the pope's trip to Sweden. Quoting from the declaration, he said that the issue cannot be reduced to a discussion about whether the Church should or should not celebrate the anniversary. He said that there are some aspects to rejoice about. CARD. KURT KOCH President, Pontifical Council for Christian Unity "The first issue, gratitude, for everything that we have been able to rediscover as common ground between Lutherans and Catholics. Gratitude; for this, we can celebrate. Third issue: hope; that this commemoration might bring good things for the future.â? But the Cardinal also pointed out some consequences of the Reformation that, far from being worthy of celebration, are an occasion for penance. CARD. KURT KOCH President, Pontifical Council for Christian Unity "Then came the division of the Church, and with it, horrible religious wars in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, especially the Thirty Years' War, which transformed Europe into a red sea of blood. What can we celebrate, with this point? This is the difficulty. There are three crucial issues. About the first, and the third, we can celebrate without problems, but about the second, we must do penance.â? From the Lutheran side of things, this ecumenical meeting with the pope is an unprecedented sign of hope for their relationship with the Catholic Church. REV. MARTIN JUNGE Secretary General, World Lutheran Federation "I believe, only a few years ago, if you would have said that there would have been a joint commemoration of the Reformation on the day Lutherans and Protestants all together commemorate and remember the Reformation, and that that would be done together, Catholics and Lutherans, many would have said "impossible,â? so i take courage, personally, of the many impossible things that have become possible, because of dialogue and the many different ways in which we have been engaged.â? The pope travels to Sweden on Monday, October 31, and he returns to Rome the next day, in what will possibly be his last trip outside Italy this year. AG MG/RR -? -PR -Up:ag

Product Description
Cold Hammer Forging of barrels has been known for decades to produce the most accurate, longest lasting rifle barrels obtainable. The Cold Hammer Forging of barrels is accomplished through intense hydraulic pressure applied at opposing angles by carbide steel hammers. During the hammering process, a mandrel is inserted into the bore while the carbide steel hammers shape the barrel around the mandrel creating the chamber, the lands, and the grooves. In addition to the aforementioned benefits, the Cold Hammer Forging process creates a defect free bore and the most consistent chamber possible. All Daniel Defense cold hammer forged barrels are made from start to finish in our state-of-the-art facility located in Black Creek, GA. In keeping with our heritage of not cutting corners, all cold hammer forged barrels feature a forged chamber and heavy phosphate exterior coating. They are all MP tested on-site and are available in multiple configurations which includes barrel only (stripped); barrel with front sight base; and barrel with low profile gas block. These barrels will prove themselves to be more accurate and last longer than a barrel that has cut or button rifling.

Finalized product.
Finally I managed to reach my own expectation of how a website should be.
Take a look at the new Home & Leisure website. Isn't it a beau? I am so proud of myself. However, the down side is that it is a tad bit of a lag. Trying to figure out how I can actually go about making it run faster.
Am so super proud of myself. And in any case why I have not set up my blog shop, apparently blogger does not allow one to use it's web for commercial purpose. It got shut down. Does anyone knows of any hosting (FREE ONES) websites that I can use?
Anyway, the domain name for my blog shop is Shop With Ris. The pictures are not uploaded as I have so many clothes to flaunt and there is absolutely too little time for me to snap all. Plus, I try to retrieve the pictures from the original website so that I need not open them up. If there are duplicates, I would model them myself so that you can tell the length of the clothes.
Alright. One website down, 3 to go. Mine will always be the last.
But baby, where they knock you down and out
Is where you're oughta stay

For one thing, with the graphics as upgraded as they are, they'll have enough work cut out for them to just get the main region done, let alone letting the player travel to other locations which are nearly equally as big. It would be cool, but that would be a huge game.

Our aim is to deliver the highest quality water every day.
Even so, it's not uncommon in spring, summer or over periods of high demand for water suppliers to experience problems with discolouration of water.
Discolouration can occur when high water demand and increased water flow dislodges minute iron particles and sediment in pipelines. It can be caused by mains or internal household piping.
Discoloured water is absolutely safe to drink.
Busselton Water conducts extensive testing across our network of more than 300 kilometres of pipeline to provide early detection of potential discolouration. It also conducts regular flushing programs to prevent sediment building up within the system.
What do I do if my water is discoloured?

Italian Woman on Vacation Convicted of Killing Motorcyclist
One of the worst vacation stories ever came to something of a close today when Marlies Mussner, a 24-year-old Italian woman, was convicted of vehicular manslaughter for killing a motorcyclist a few weeks ago.
While cruising through Huntington Beach in the late afternoon of June 26 in her rented Dodge Caliber, Mussner made a problematic left turn at an intersection and struck 59-year-old Mark Montgomery, who was riding his Harley Davidson. Montgomery was thrown from his bike and died at the hospital half an hour later. Mussner pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge of vehicular manslaughter, and was convicted today. She was given
Mussner was sentenced to 45 days in jail, 250 hours of community service, and ordered to make a $1,000 charitable donation to the Dana Watkins Memorial Fund, a charity established by the mother of a man killed in a motorcycle crash to help families pay the funeral costs for their deceased children.

wp_head not firing on mapped domain
we're using your plugin on a multi-site environment currently in development. In our template we add some custom CSS generated by the Theme Customizer by hooking into wp_head()-Action. While it does work without any problems on a multisite accessed via the folder, it fails to fire on the multisite mapped to a domain.
I've absolutely no idea why this occurs. Do you have any ideas about this?
Thanks in advance,

Whats some good brands or places to go shop for nice clothes for an average guy at university? where to buy jeans/tshirts/coats/
im very new at this so, I would really like to know the best places, I wanna dress really well this year because I've been wearing shit for a long time.. looking for a new me
Most Helpful Guy
Here's one massive tip that will save you these silly questions, find a hot girl and tell her this same dilema. She will go shopping with you and tell you what to buy. She will pick clothes she finds atractive and in turn will probably be attracted to you for wearing them, need I say more?
However if your problem is that you don't feel secure chatting up the ladies in your scraggy atire, then there are quite a few options. I'm assuming you are British (just becasue you said Uni, instead of college) Unless you have a particular look you want just go to somewhere like Next or even Gap! most of the shops do the thinking for you, with all their posters and mannequins. Another tip, purely from looking at University challenge I am assuming that jumpers and collars are very in - perhaps go for that if you want to look like a Uni student.00|00|0
Actually, canadian, used to be a colony of england though, haha

text: Based on one of Edward Gorey's pieces of supreme "literary nonsense", Hoipolloi's whimsical show is a delight for all ages. This is a very clever piece of theatre which plays on play and make-believe and also excavates Gorey's comedy for its many meanings. Set in a large country house where the family are keen on amateur dramatics, the story concerns the unexpected arrival of a strange, penguin-like creature that takes up residence and behaves rather oddly. The family are unsure what to make of their new guest, and the beauty of Gorey's story and this show is that it is open to interpretation. The creature could be a poltergeist, a figment of the family's imagination or even an asylum seeker. The mix of the comic and the sinister is beautifully handled, and Hoipolloi inventively make the point that, while home can be a castle, it can be a prison too.

Alice and Nick had a small intimate wedding at the Old Mill in the middle of winter. Alice wore a really cute shawl to keep her warm while she went out to see her groom for the first time out in the courtyard. The chapel at the Old Mill is officially the darkest ceremony I have photographed – ever! It was definitely challenging being a wedding photographer to get these rustic and romantic Old Mill Toronto winter wedding photos. But The Toronto Old Mill gave such a cozy intimate feel and it just drew your attention to the stars of the… View full post »
A Classic Gladstone Hotel Winter Wedding in Toronto: Morgan + Adam

Morgan and Adam met while they were both in college, but dating other people. In an interesting turn of events, their significant others ended things with Morgan and Adam and instead ended up together. Morgan and Adam turned to each other for support (essentially swapping couples!). Although they were upset, their support turned into a solid friendship which then turned into something much more. There was a silver lining in that experience and that is called true love because they have now been together for 5 years! Morgan explains that everything happens for a reason and I undoubtedly agree! What… View full post »

That's pretty rich considering that Brodin is hurt and was hurt because he put himself in jeopardy by not committing on the play quick enough and then putting himself in a vulnerable position instead of letting Hall get to the puck and then trying to poke it away.

Great. And when Cuma was a prospect, he was talked about as a high end defenseman as well. But Cuma had injury problems that derailed his career and he's finally coming back to form. Klefbom has shown he has an injury history that should be of some concern for his development.
The problem with Brodin is how do you measure a prospect that has already achieved so much? Klefbom was much, much more of a project than Brodin coming into the draft season, so he had so much more to gain that season. Brodin played in 20 more games in the SEL and in the WC. To me that proves a lot more than Klefbom. Hell Brodin jumped over to the AHL and stayed there. Why didn't Klefbom?
At this point in the stage Minnesota and Edmonton are two organizations heading in different paths; Minnesota is using FA to grab top end players and using the draft to fill out the rest. Edmonton is using the draft to grab top end players and using FA to grab depth players. Either strategy is fine.
Klefbom was named the top D at the WJC's IIRC, not Brodin. Klefbom is the bigger of the two players and more well built for the North American game.
Also, I wasn't aware that Justin Schultz was a depth player. Just because your team had a perfect storm where the two top UFA's wanted to sign there doesn't mean that it'll always be like that.

That's nobodies fault but ours for allowing them to make welfare and handouts a lifestyle rather than helping hand as it was meant to be. It is however nothing drug testing birth control and time limit you can use it, would not fix. Make them pick up trash and graffiti to earn their welfare and food stamps. If they have to do ugly horrible work they will better themselves.
#4 Jun 1, 2012
You're a sad sick person. I hope all you racists learn how to be human.
#5 Jun 27, 2012
disparity of force, a group of pieces of sh__ verbally abused a 14yr old girl who was minding her own business, for no valid reason period.
then they just swooped in and violently attacked her, and she wasn't even hitting back, iow this was no "fight" this was a group of pieces of sh__ who have no guts, but through gross disparity of force chose to attack a harmless non-violent person.
the attackers are racist pieces of sh__.
they first verbally assaulted the victim,
the victim rolled her eyes,
and they attacked.
during the attack one attacker said "don't dis my sister", oh really?
so to you someone rolling their eyes equals three of you beating a smaller person who isn't even trying to punch back?
that's your "answer"? you're "response" to someone rolling their eyes?
to that, and to some who say "violence is not the answer", i contend this:
- a more correct phrase is violence is rarely the answer,
- but yes infact in some instances: violence is the answer. violence in self-defense, at your attackers, they gave you no other option, you already tried a non-violent response and they chose violence anyway.
the trouble with these pieces of shit is, to them:
- violence is always the answer. violence is the only answer.
Here's how the mind of racist pieces of sh__ like this flows:
hurt feelings? just use violence.
someone has an ipod and you don't? just use violence.
you don't like someone because they're white? just use violence.
you don't want to work daily for your food? just use violence.
your politician didn't win the election? just use violence.
someone worked harder than you making you look like a lazy piece of shit? just use violence.
someone has God-given talents you don't have? just use violence.
your team didn't win the game? just use violence.
your team did win the game? go ahead and use some violence also.
you got caught committing a crime? just use violence.
Here's how the brain of a good human works for that same list of questions:
hurt feelings? introspect, pray, quietly ponder things you may do to avoid getting hurt in the future such as not communicating with the hurter, pray for both them and yourself, and then let time heal your emotional wounds.
someone has an ipod and you don't? so what, it's a gadget, God did not promise you would get an ipod. did you work at a job to earn money for an ipod? did you blow money on something stupid instead of an ipod? again an answer is INTROSPECT and YOU FIX YOUR PROBLEM.
you don't like someone because they're white? WOW YOU'D BETTER GET YOUR SH__ RIGHT WITH GOD ON THIS BECAUSE HE MADE US ALL. introspect, pray.
you don't want to work daily for your food? sorry, WE ALL sinned and got kicked out of Eden and now EACH of us has to work for our daily food. don't like it? complain to God, see how far that gets you. introspect, pray.
your politician didn't win the election? tough crap. I've spent 50yrs not once having my politician ever win, yet I've never chosen violence. I vote, and I accept whomever GOD has placed in power. I respect the office regardless if I disagree with the person in it.
someone worked harder than you making you look like a lazy piece of sh__? The answer is right in front of your face - work harder, quit being a lazy piece of sh__, see entry above about Eden.
someone has God-given talents you don't have? tough crap, this is up to God not you. see entry above complaining to God.
your team didn't win the game? so. try again next game/year.
your team did win the game? be happy.
#6 Jun 27, 2012
i forgot to post the last entry,
again the mind of a good person goes like this:
got caught committing a crime? if you were a good person you simply wouldn't have committed a crime, but everyone sins and what defines a good person is THEY REPENT, so accept arrest, plead guilty, and pay society back for your sin.

Holy See Statement on Gender Equality
"Equality Can be Achieved When Antagonism Gives Way to Respect"
NEW YORK, MARCH 10, 2007 (Zenit) - Here is the address Archbishop Celestino Migliore, the Holy See's permanent observer to the United Nations, delivered today to the 61st session of the U.N. General Assembly on the topic of "promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women."
* * *
61st session of the U.N. General Assembly
Informal Thematic Debate on the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women
New York, March 8, 2007
Madam President,
At the outset, my delegation thanks you for convening this Informal Thematic Debate of the General Assembly on the Promotion of Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, and its subsequent panel debates on women in decision-making and empowerment of women including microfinance. This timely debate is a significant contribution to the reflections on the issues of the dignity, rights and duties of women and to their role and achievements in the various sectors of society.
The legitimate quest for equality between men and women has achieved positive results in the area of equality of rights. This quest needs to be accompanied by the awareness that equality goes hand in hand with and does not endanger, much less contradict, the recognition of both the difference and complementarity between men and women. Without this recognition the struggle for equality would not be authentic.
It seems, in fact, that oftentimes the ideas on the equality of rights between men and women have been marked by an antagonistic approach which exalts opposition between them. This approach juxtaposes woman against man and vice versa, while the identity and role of one is emphasized with the aim of merely diminishing that of the other. Success in the quest for equality and the empowerment of women can best be achieved when such antagonism gives way to mutual respect and recognition of the identity and the role of one towards the other.
A second tendency is to blur, if not entirely deny, the differences between men and women. In order to avoid the domination of one sex over the other, their differences tend to be obscured or viewed as mere effects of historical and cultural conditioning. Physical difference is often minimized, while the purely cultural dimension is maximized and held to be primary. This blurring of differences has impact on the stability of society and of families and, not least, on the quality of the relations between men and women. Equality between women and men and the empowerment of women will be attained when the differences of the sexes are recognized and highlighted as complementary and the cultural element of gender is understood in its proper context.
Empowerment of women refers to increasing their social, political, economic and spiritual strength, both individually and collectively, as well as to removing the obstacles that penalize women and prevent them from being fully integrated into the various sectors of society. Concretely, it means addressing discriminatory practices that exclude women from decision-making processes, oftentimes caused or aggravated by discrimination based on a woman's race, ethnicity, religion or social status.
That women in society must be involved in decision-making is not only right for reasons of equality, but also for the specific insights that women bring to the process. This "feminine genius" will prove most valuable, as women increasingly play major roles in the solution of the serious challenges the world is facing. Empowerment of women also means equal pay for equal work, fairness in career advancement, and equality of spouses in family rights. Likewise, it means that women who choose to be wives and mothers are protected and not penalized.
With regard to empowering women through microfinance, my delegation takes pride in the fact that for decades some institutions and agencies of the Catholic Church have been active in microfinancing. Just to cite one example, Catholic Relief Services, which operates in 99 countries from all continents, began microfinance programs in 1988 in five countries. Now programs are operational in at least 30 countries, with more than 850,000 clients, of whom almost 75% are women. The program focuses on the poor, especially poor women, in remote rural communities where there is no access to financial services. Moreover, in order to build managerial capacities and assure program sustainability, the clients are directly involved in the management and administration of the services they receive.
Studies have shown how microfinance has led to a wide-ranging improvement of the status of women, from earning greater respect from men to being acknowledged as society's important contributors; from achieving better family health to greater awareness of the value of education; from greater self-esteem to taking a leading role in poverty reduction. These and other positive effects on the daily life of women tell us that microfinance is warmly to be supported. However, we must be aware that it is hardly a panacea for all the ills afflicting women in developing countries. Further, the system is not immune from abuse. It is, in fact, noted that in some circumstances and places, men ask their wives to get loans from microfinanciers, and then they take the loan and run the business themselves, or even, use the money for other purposes.
Hand in hand with the empowering benefits brought about by initiatives like microfinance, goes the need for education and awareness-raising, especially at the level of the local community. Education for women in particular remains the most vital tool in the promotion of equality between men and women and in the empowerment of women to contribute fully to society. The Holy See desires for its part to continue to educate boys and girls, men and women, to foster and uphold the dignity, role and rights of women. With tools such as these, women's empowerment can begin to take root and flourish in those places where it is still largely lacking.
Thank you, Madam President.

A Rare, NON Passive-Aggressive Note for an Errant Parker – An Appropriate, Assertive Response to SF Sidewalk ParkingFriday, August 14th, 2015
If You Have a Motorcycle (or Something Smaller Like a Moped), Feel Free to Travel Through the Golden Gate Park PanhandleTuesday, June 16th, 2015
You know, the way everybody else does.
As here, on the "300 block" of Ashbury, or what would be 300 block but for the Golden Gate Park Panhandle being there. But no matter, just wait for the light and then head north or south on the walking paths:
This will save you all kinds of time going from Fell to Oak or Oak to Fell.
This didn't used to be a thing, but now it's a thing, especially at night…
The Perils of Electric Moped / Scooter / Bike Ownership – A2B "Bicycles" are Back in BusinessThursday, May 30th, 2013
I think I saw an ad for these A2B bikes just today in the SF Weekly.
They were never very popular but I did my best to discourage purchases, to the dismay of the Ultra Motors people.
These days, Ultra Motors is gone but A2B bikes are making a comeback aided by more realistic pricing.
Thusly, as seen with a flat tire:

IMO, you're better off with a regular bike, one with puncture resistant tires and theft-hardened parts.
But that's just me.

That Horrible Ultra Motor Ltd Company is Still Around, Still Selling Their Crummy A2B Electric ScootersThursday, June 9th, 2011
Now don't get me wrong, I think test-driving an A2B electric scooter in Golden Gate Park can be fun, but the problem is that these rigs don't really make sense for the vast majority of people, that's the problem.
Anyway, this is the past weekend in GGP here…
Click to expand
…and this below is from the past.
Sometimes you spend money on an idea and it doesn't work out.
Oh well.
Well well, has it really been a half-year since an example of the ridiculous, overweight and overpriced A2B electric bike / moped thing has been spotted on the Streets of San Francisco? Yes.
Here's the one sighted yesterday. It's a rental of course, but actually, that's not a bad thing. Assuming you don't run out of juice, renting an A2B for 69 bones doesn't appear to be a bad way to spend a day exploring the 415 . You could easily haul on over to Sausalito (remembering to pretend to pedal – the Golden Gate Bridge people actually require this) and back without breaking a sweat.
(Take care it doesn't get stolen, though, else they'll charge your credit card an arm and a leg.)
O.K. then.
Now I'll tell you, most of the people who comment about the posts made about the A2B on this website actually work (or worked) for Ultra Motor.
For example, here's a bit from Ultra Motor Co-Founder and President Jon Bowman from earlier this year:
"Wow. You really have nothing better to do than attack what appears to be a good idea and an innovative product."
Does that make sense? He's berating me for criticising one of his P.O.S. products from the standpoint of someone who doesn't work for Ultra Motor, yet he works for Ultra Motor. (Reminds me of when people at the San Francisco Chronicle Newspaper would make comments on SFist claiming to work full-time for MUNI or something. They weren't really fooling anybody…)
Anyway, a newer product Ultra Motor has is called the Excel and it's being marketed as a $5000 electric scooter. O.K., if it makes you happy.
The big problem with all these bikes is that they don't sell. The fact that you have to fork over $2200 plus tax, minimum, to buy one (unless you get a deal through Craigslist ) is merely the first problem. It's not the only problem, not at all. (Now, they have this newer model, the Velocity (Velociti?) but I ain't never seen one of those – maybe it's closer to being an actual electric bike…)
Oh well. Even the people who like these things don't really like these things.
If you want an electric bike, get a Trek or something else.
The Mean Streets of San Francisco are No Place for an Ultra Motor A2B Electric Scooter Moped Bicycle ThingThursday, May 12th, 2011
Maybe it was a chuckhole or maybe it was going around the open car door and onto the train tracks that caused this fellow to take a tumble on his crappy Ultra Motor A2B electric moped on Market Street yesterday.
You see, them wheels is too small – it's a styling thing, apparently:

You know, on their website they tell you everything but how much these contraptions cost…*

Bicycle Trilogy: This Fellow Actually Bought an A2B Electric Bike – They're Aren't Too Many Like HimTuesday, April 5th, 2011
I'm not sure if a Segway scooter sighting is rarer than an A2B electric bike / scooter sighting on the Streets of San Francisco.
The sales of both haven't met expectations, I'd imagine.

MyDutchMoped: Get an Aging Batavus One-Cylinder Moped and You'll Become Cool, Maybe Join the Tenderloin CreaturesMonday, January 31st, 2011
This Batavus Regency is a new one on me.
Did I spot a Creatures of the Loin reference in there? Check out Lauren ":)" Smiley's historic bit right here, for the 411 on San Francisco's formerly angry moped gangs.
Click to expand
A manifesto of sorts, from a moribund webpage:
"Media blackout begins. to clarify: the creatures of the loin are complete losers. a few of them, the more unsavory ones, are homeless. they are around 22 years old on average with a healthy number still being high school misfits who get made fun of by even the nerds. they are about 40% girls and have chosen the moped way due to a love of liberation, a desire for self sufficiency…"
Don't stop believing, Batavus riders!

It seems that student loans are somewhat inevitable for anyone wishing to further their education. Unfortunately, many students don't understand their ramifications. Keep reading to learn more about the process of taking out student loans.
Remember private financing. Although there are a variety of public student loans, it can be difficult to obtain them due to competition and demand. Student loans from private sources are not as popular. They are available in smaller increments and are often unclaimed because people don't know about them. A private student loan from a community source may be just what you need to buy textbooks or manage some other specific expense.
Utilize a methodical process to repay loans. First, make sure that you meet the minimum monthly payments of each individual loan. Next, pay extra on your loan with the largest interest rate instead of the one with the largest balance. This will lower how much money is spent over time.
To pay down your student loans effectively, focus on the one that has the highest interest rate. If you focus on balances instead, you might neglect how much interest you accrue over time, still costing you money.
When you graduate, know how much time you have before you have to start making payments on your loans. For example, you must begin paying on a Stafford loan six months after you graduate. Perkins loans offer a nine-month grace period. There are other loans with different periods. Know precisely when you need to start paying off your loan so that you are not late.
When the time comes to repay student loans, pay them off based on their interest rate. You should always focus on the higher interest rates first. Any extra cash you have lying around will help you pay these quicker. Prepayment of this type will never be penalized.
Monthly loan payments after college can be very intimidating. You can make things a bit easier with help from loan rewards programs. Places to check out are SmarterBucks and LoanLink which are programs available from Upromise. How much you spend determines how much extra will go towards your loan.
If you are in graduate school, a PLUS loan may be an option. They cap their interest rate at 8.5 percent. This is a higher rate than Stafford or Perkins loans, however it's better than most private loans. This loan option is better for more established students.
Keep in mind that your school could have other motivations when they recommend certain lenders. Schools sometimes lend their name to private loan companies for a mutual benefit. This can mislead you sometimes. The school could benefit if you go with particular lenders. Make sure that you are aware of all the stipulations involved in a loan prior to taking it.
Keep the communication lines open with your student loan lender. This is important because you may have questions down the line. He or she may have useful information for you.
Be aware of all your repayment options. If you cannot afford to pay off your loans when you first graduate college, ask about graduated payments. This makes your first payments smaller and they get bigger gradually over time, when you are hopefully making more money.
Extra Money
Rather than depending only on your student loans during school, you should bring in extra money with a part time job. That way some of your education's expenses can be offset with something else besides a loan, plus you can have some extra money.
Know when and how much you will need to begin repaying. There are grace periods, forbearance and other possibilities. You should be clear about your loan details and what your lender expects. Read the entire loan agreement before signing any documents.
If you think that you can't make a payment, talk to your lender right away. You are much more likely to have the financial institution work to help you if you show good faith. Find out whether you're eligible for ongoing reduced payments or if you can put the loan payments off for a certain amount of time.
It is important that you keep in touch with your lending institution when in school and also when you graduate. Make sure you get into touch with them if any of your personal information changes like your email or phone number. This will make sure that you know when changes are made. Let them know if you withdraw, transfer or graduate.
Take some classes on campus and some on the Internet to make the most use of your time. That way you can maximize your course load while still having time to work and attend regular classes. This lets you put in the most hours you can each semester.
Federal Loans
Apply for federal loans before pursuing loans from private lender. Federal loans come with advantages like a fixed interest rate. A fixed rate loan will present no surprises. Then it's much easier to budget out your life over time.
Know the interest rates of your loans, and work on paying off the loan with the higher interest first. This puts the brakes on interest and hopefully, decreases your over all debt. Know the terms of your loans. Then, pay on time so you do not have to pay more than you should.
If your total amount of financial aid leaves you with other college expenses, a private loan is a good option. Make sure that you exhaust all options. Look for the best in interest rates and terms before making a final decision.
Student Loans
Most people couldn't attend school without student loans. Knowing all that you can about student loans before applying for them it the key to borrowing responsibly. Follow the advice presented here to simplify the student loan process.

Editor's Corner
Ron Rowland
Most of the world's stock markets are having a tough time. Our global rankings demonstrate this quite clearly. However, our ranking categories focus on broad regions and large countries. Despite the overwhelmingly negative tone displayed in our rankings graphic, there are some specific countries doing much worse. Russia is the most obvious example.
Russia's current woes began earlier this year when Putin's meddling in the affairs of Ukraine brought on strong rebuke from world leaders and stiff economic sanctions. Those events weakened Russia, but since the country was still able to sell its oil at relatively high prices, it was managing to keep itself afloat. Then crude oil prices started to decline, eventually plunging more than 40%, and the calculus of Russia's economic viability changed dramatically.
When a country goes into a tailspin, its currency tends to suffer. Lower stock prices are causing investment capital to leave Russia, which in turn is putting pressure on the ruble, which translates into even lower stock prices. It's a classic death spiral, and Russia is caught in the vortex.
U.S.-listed ETFs investing in Russia reflect a combination of stock price performance and the strength of the ruble in comparison to the U.S. dollar. The iShares MSCI Russia Capped ETF (ERUS) dropped more than 20% the past week. It is down more than 34% since late November and has lost more than half its value so far in 2014. Traders with an appetite for risk can play the leveraged Russia ETFs. Direxion Daily Russia Bull 3x (RUSL) plunged more than 50% this past week, even after accounting for a 7% bounce yesterday. It is down nearly 92% for the year. Traders who correctly anticipated the plunge in Russia have profited immensely from Direxion Daily Russia Bear 3x (RUSS). This ETF zoomed 64% higher the past week and has climbed more than 183% in the past three weeks. If you timed it right, and bought on July 9, you would now be sitting on a sweet 352% profit. Not bad for less than half a year.
The last FOMC meeting of 2014 concluded today. Speculation leading into the session surrounded whether or not the Fed would remove "for a considerable period" from its statement. Indeed, the phrase was removed and a new description of "patient" was substituted in regards to when borrowing costs might move up. The committee claims the new language is consistent with the old and is still in no hurry to hike rates.
Real Estate completed its climb to the top. It was in first place 28 weeks ago and then fell to ninth by mid-June. It climbed as high as second in August, only to fall to tenth and sit there through most of September. It's been a rocky road for Real Estate, which makes holding this position a proposition for only the hardiest of investors. Health Care lost more than half its momentum and slid down to second place after six weeks in first. Utilities, a defensive sector, displayed its defensive properties by improving its ranking position by three spots. Consumer Staples, another defensive category, held steady in fourth. Consumer Discretionary climbed two places, Financials fell three, and Technology slipped two. Industrials and Materials were both in the green a week ago but are now in negative trends, and Materials is already deep in the red. Telecom lost momentum but didn't fall any further in the rankings. If you thought things couldn't get any worse for Energy, then you were proven wrong this past week. Eventually the selling will be overdone and a wonderful buying opportunity will emerge, but prepare for some false starts.
Most of the air, also known as momentum, came out of the market this past week. The eleven style categories were solidly in the green a week ago, and today they are all squished flat. Small Cap Growth and Micro Cap are clinging to their last little bits of positive momentum. Small Cap Growth grabbed the top spot a week ago, and Micro Cap surged from tenth to second this week. However, Micro Cap's move is probably not as impressive as it appears since it accomplished this feat by losing less than the other categories. The high compression across the momentum readings is also contributing to dramatic shifts. Nine categories flipped over to the red, although none have entered steep downtrends. The Growth categories remain stronger than Value in all capitalization segments, with only Micro Cap stopping the trio from a sweep of the top three spots.
China, the U.S., and World Equity remain 1-2-3 respectively, although their positive momentum has disappeared. China is now registering a zero trend, the U.S. is slightly negative, and World Equity is already in a steep negative trend. Japan and Europe swapped places as both went from barely positive to deeply negative. The lower categories all fell deeper in the red despite seeing currency improvements over the past week. The U.K., Pacific ex-Japan, Emerging Markets, and Canada are in extremely bearish modes with intermediate trends of minus 40% (annualized) or worse. Latin America is on the bottom with a clearly unsustainable momentum value of -97.
"Based on its current assessment, the committee judges that it can be patient in beginning to normalise the stance of monetary policy."
