We ordered this deluxe decor gate after being totally disappointed in the north states extra wide swing gate (wood). We bought the NS extra wide swing gate to keep our dog in the back room, but Also to keep our daughter out. It really was a huge frustration. I could hardly open the gate or latch it back on the hooks, so I eventually just began stepping over the gate any time I needed to get out or in and being pregnant a second time this was quite a challenge!I read some good reviews on this gate, and even though it is made by north states as well, it is a huge difference. It is super easy to open and even shuts itself which is ultra convenient. I think the metal also has a cleaner and neater look than the wood. I definitely recommend it to anyone!

We use this product to keep our puppies in their designated room. We have a dining room (now the puppy room) that has two openings. One is small (a regular size doorway) so there's a small gate there. Then we have a big wide 61 inch opening that opens into the living room. We are using this long gate for that opening. It's slightly larger than the opening which doesn't help. Also this is a gate that you screw into the wall so you'll have to put at least 4 holes in your wall and you need an electric drill for this. Our opening has crown molding on the bottom so the top and bottom fasteners don't fit flush. If you have molding or a baseboard you should likely reconsider this purchase.

About Me First Time Parent
Comments about North States Industries North States Deluxe Décor Gate - Matte Bronze:
Purchased this gate several months ago to create barrier btwn living room/kitchen. Gated opening is approx 58" so options were very limited. I was hoping for a straight line gate that adjusted by sliding. Our local Babies R Us doesn't carry any larger than 36" wide so this was ordered in store based on pics and product description for the only 3 options available. Honestly, I almost sent it back bc of how it had to be mounted but knew it would take several more weeks to process/receive an exchange. Currently the gate comes about 18" into my kitchen, creating a wide 58 inch "U" shape. So depending on room size and furniture placement, this could be an issue if you are mounting to an opening less than 71". The "hold open" feature is quite handy, especially when carrying in groceries. Also, if you have woodwork/trim around the bottom of opening where it will be mounted you will have to get some wood pieces to screw to the wall when attaching the top half. Gate is easy to remove and folds flat for storage if not needed. It's sturdy and attractive. Overall I am happy with it; once I got over my aversion for it not being straight (if my flooring were the same throughout it probably wouldn't have bothered me as much. It just looks odd but I'm getting used to it)

Great for large door openings
By For Great Grandchild

See all my reviews
The gate is sturdy but the button to open the gate door is very stiff, making it hard to open. The description states it is matte bronze, it is not, it is matte black.

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
I was looking for a gate for a wide opening and found this one in store vs having to order. When I got it home and put it together I was surprised that e gate stays the same size (no extenders) no matter the opening size. Now our gate is not straight across the opening, but resembles a Bay window. It is also a bit wobbly. The lock also sticks sometimes.
Perfect for wide areas
By Ellinj
from Colts Neck, NJ
Easy to put together and well constructed. We really like this gate. We have a large opening from our foyer to living room that a regular gate would not work within. This gate is perfect for what we need and easy to use.
I would buy this again
By Miriam surprised mom
from Katy,TX
Not only is this a beautiful gate but it is easy to put up. You only need one hand to open the gate. This is also the only gate my Boxer dog can't open!
Love this gate!!!
By busy mom with 9 month old and dog!
from Cleveland Ohio
The only negative was it is a lot darker in color then the picture suggested. I wanted it to match another gate i have that is brown this one is black! This gate is very large actually bigger than I needed but the great thing about it is it can be mounted at an angle. I use it to seperate my living room from my entry way. It looks great and is light weight easy to open and closes behind you. The botton to open it is stiff but hopefully it will loosen up over time. I have a large dog that is not able to push through it. Another great thing about this gate is even though it is mounted to the wall I am able to easily unhook one side and it opens completely so I can vacuum under it with no problems.

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
This gate is easy to operate and seems very sturdy. Our only glitch was that it has to be installed flush with the ground and doesn't take into account that most homes have molding along the floor. We added small blocks of wood at the top to compensate

This gate is great for uneven entryways. We bought one for the kitchen and liked it so much that we bought a second for the hallway. My only challenge is the button to open the gate. It is a bit stiff, but it's becoming easier with use.

Crop value in Monterey County last year dipped below $4 billion for the first time since 2008, mostly because of weather and commodity prices.
Despite the slight drop to $3.85 billion, it is still the third highest crop value the county has ever seen — and in a year that included a cool, rainy spring.
County Agricultural Commissioner Eric Lauritzen released the 2011 crop report on Tuesday, highlighting the diversity of agricultural production, with 10 crops bringing in more than $100 million each and 16 others pulling in more than $10 million.
That diversity is different from most other farming counties in California, and because the state is a national powerhouse in agriculture, that is saying something, Lauritzen said.
In terms of agriculture, he said, "We can speak about this being one of the most important counties in the nation."
Industry leaders attending the unveiling of the state-mandated annual crop report echoed Lauritzen's praise for the strength and adaptability of Monterey County agriculture — from farmers to packers and producers to harvest crews.
"I think it's rather remarkable that the agricultural community was able to achieve what they did in spite of the weather," said Norm Groot, executive director of the Monterey County Farm Bureau.
Groot and other leaders struck a self-congratulatory tone coupled with a subtle warning to policymakers and consumers to lay off agriculture when it comes to regulations, or risk killing Monterey County's golden goose.
"While local and state and national economies are tanking, agriculture here continues to hold its own," said Jim Bogart, president of the Grower-Shipper Association of Central California. "To me, that is a reflection of the resourcefulness, the resiliency, the innovation, the cutting-edge technologies that this industry here in the Central Coast continues to lead the world in."
Bogart urged legislators and regulators to consider that Monterey County agriculture contributes $8.2 billion to the local economy, according to a recent economic study funded by the agricultural commissioner's office that didn't take into account economic and other costs of agriculture.
Farm labor availability, immigration reform, food safety, water quality, land use and crop protection are all hot issues for his members, Bogart said.
"Do we as a community want to jeopardize this precious resource, this remarkable industry that means so much to so many here, and really throughout the nation in the world?" he said. "I don't think that we do."
In 2011, leaf lettuce overtook strawberries as the county's top crop, with a value of $777 million, a 7 percent increase, compared with $714 million for strawberries, which dropped 5 percent in value.
The 4 percent decline in total crop values can be attributed to the global economy, fuel prices, increased costs associated with food safety practices and other costs that are out of the control of individual growers, Lauritzen said.
Wine grape growers suffered one of the biggest losses in crop value, losing 18 percent in crop value over 2010. Because of lower yields, the production value of chardonnay, the "work horse" of Monterey grapes, was down 23 percent to $46 million. Riesling, meanwhile, jumped 14 percent on a stronger average price per ton.
Despite the drop in total wine grape value, Rhonda Motil of Monterey County Vintners and Growers Association gave a rosier projection for 2012.
"The good news that we couldn't say over the last couple of years is that the average price per ton is on the rise," she said.
Other findings of the crop report included:
· Total produce exports rose in 2011, with the county exporting 35 percent
more pounds of commodities. Canada imported the lion's share — 67 percent — of this produce.
· The value of cattle and calf production was up 25 percent to $39 million.

Pretty self explanatory. What's your favorite album so far this year?
I don't think any new albums have stood out to me this year. B.O.B.'s Strange Clouds I was looking at still. Usually, if i'm not too anxious to buy an album, i'll listen to a few of the tracks online or most snippets on iTunes after it releases. I know most people won't agree, but Mayday's TMTYL didn't stand out to me. I like them, I do, but I guess not nearly as much as everybody else does. Their sounds sounded too similar on most songs (especially after Klusterfuk) and I'm looking for something different I guess. Badlands was alright though to me. I really, really wanted to like Prozak's, but from what I heard, the tracks sounded, again, too similar with like heavy rock beats. Idk, maybe I expected something different.
I have hope for Kickin' & Screamin' bc I always really like Krizz. I was a bit nervous before bc most songs sounded too pop-sounding or blended together and didn't sound as original as his other songs. But, "Stay Alive" and "Hello Walls" made me a little easier about it.
I'd say my favorite is probably Mac Lethal's Irish Goodbye. It was released on New Years and it was a soundtrack to me for the earlier part of this year.
My choice is Take me to your leader an EP Victor by Zeds dead & Omar Linx havent took these two CD's out of rotation yet
ayee do you know where i could get a hard copy of this ?

"Who the fuck is irv da phenom" I just downloaded it from itunes last night. This is the hardest shit out right now. He is actually talking about something in his music. 2 thinks about this album are fucking me up. (in a good way)
1. I kind of expected it to be Irv just trying to rap really fast like he does on all the strange stuff, (i like it but i think he should leave doing it all the time to tech.) instead irv switched up his flow. he has so many styles. DOPE.
2. Irv really showcased his singing voice on this album. i'd heard him on a few strange hooks, but imo his singing on the album blows those away. he has grown alot since K.O.D.
Take me to your leader was off the chain. Not that ive listened to kickin and screamin,...... because i havnt recieved my copy yet,haha but i can say already in all confidence that its a tie between mayday and kali for me. I dont expect too much from Stevie stone, even though its gonna be dope, the only thing i can see beating them all is techs next studio.
It's Kickin' & Screamin' for me, that album is Kali's best work by A LONG SHOT
Take me to tour leader easily... Just a side note, mayday are some of the coolest people ive ever met, wrek knew who i was from twitter after hearing me introduce myself to nonms and i got to kick it after the meet n greet wit nonms plex n bernz
THIS! and Bizzy's newest release GAME TIME, everyone make sure to go check that out on datpiff.com

So I bought a few beater boards and i found that one has so many little patches where the epoxy has rubbed away to the 'patchwork'? fabric? I call it the stitches. anyways the epoxy instructions say to use the cloth over the dings when repairing the board. but it doesn't seem right... I mean they are just patches.
So being my cocky self I decided to skip the cloth and just apply the resin directly to the board.
So my Question is, did I just screw up the repair???

Actor Jamie Hector has made a career playing bad guys: drug lord Marlo Stanfield on The Wire, criminal Benjamin "Knox" Washington in Heroes, and villain Lincoln DeNeuf in Max Payne. The real-life Jamie, however, has a much different agenda. As one of the three founders of Moving Mountains, he draws New York's inner-city youth off the streets and into the theater in order to steer them away from negative influences, such as bullying, gangs, violence, and substance abuse. He and his team of industry mentors cultivate an ensemble of young performers, musicians, and writers who create original plays and short films that delve deep into their age group's social issues while spreading strong positive messages. In Moving Mountains' film studio, mentors train budding directors, photographers, and technicians to create and promote short films and promotional artwork with the aid of industry-standard equipment. The mentors and their most senior students also tackle social problems at the source by traveling to city schools to educate audiences on topics including bullying, sexting, and how to make good choices in education and personal relationships.

Soccer is known as "the beautiful game," but it doesn't always start out pretty. It takes hard work and determination to become a great footballer. That's why Coach Frank opened Soccer Beyond, a comprehensive training community. Having gone through top-flight academies, including the school at Borussia Mönchengladbach in Germany, he's performed some of the sport's most demanding drills and skills. He teams up with Coach Andrew, a product of Everton FC's academy in Liverpool, England. Together they have a world of soccer knowledge to share.
The main points the coaches want to instill is that soccer is a team sport and to have fun. They don't exclude anyone from playing, and keep an upbeat, encouraging atmosphere throughout all training sessions, scrimmages, and games. During sessions, they teach adult and youth players how to pass, receive, and dribble. They also cover keys to soccer-specific quickness and building stamina. Whether engaging their students through camps or league games, the coaches always place importance on healthy lifestyles and can-do attitudes.
Operating tennis facilities and programs in the New York City area, HCK Recreation Inc.'s community footprint is well-recognized.

When summer months arrive, HCK operates a children's camp, called Advantage Sea & Sports Camp, at SUNY Maritime.

"The role of mass media in a democratic country is similar to the role of judiciary and executive. To some extent, it plays a more effective role than judiciary and executive organs of the country." Dhaka University Vice Chancellor (VC) Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique came up with these remarks while chairing a journalism workshop in the capital of Bangladesh. And still I can remember this.Prof Arefin was highlighting on the role of mass media in the socio-economic and the educational development of a developing country.His message was that both the print and broadcast media can play a vital role in enhancing education in a developing country. It can shape and create public opinion towards on related issues by applying its strength and bring changes among individual. I fully agree with him.We in Bangladesh are now in a state of media expansion. A large number of people here depend on newspapers and broadcast media for entertainment. But media also has an important educational role: Students from rural areas can take lesson from watching certain television programmes. They also can learn a lot of things listening to radio. And almost every national daily, both Bangla and English, has its education page; they published both institutional and general knowledge based reports for students.Education is much more than going to schools and colleges, its purpose is to create awareness among people. Mass media is providing this kind of knowledge outside of the schoolroom. Thus it is playing a vital role in creating mass awareness both in rural and urban areas in our country.Role of print mediaPrint media in our country is very powerful. People, especially, the students read newspapers for learning different aspects about life, art, culture and science of both home and abroad.Almost every newspaper has its own education page. In the page, they published educational articles written by teachers, trainers, students, and experts. It also publishes different difficult explanations, questions and answers of secondary and higher secondary levels.Some English dailies publish the techniques of teaching English language and grammar, while some scientific magazines scientific explanations and new inventions. Some dailies publish `weekly magazines`, which focuses mainly on the higher education. In addition, they publish the prospectus of different educational institutions.Again, students as well as adults can learn good English from the English newspapers. They can read articles about a certain topic and enrich their language knowledge.Some newspapers have their "reader`s forum". Through this forums they, try to enhance education and awareness in different areas of the country. The readers of different newspapers, who also work for it as volunteers, teach the deprived children in their free time. Sometimes, they provided books and related materials for slam children, who never got any chance to go school.I know some journalist. They try to create awareness among the working children and adults. They do this either provoked by their own interests and sense of responsibility or assigned by the office. Besides, national dailies, both Bangla and English often organize some discussion meetings, workshops and seminars for students and professionals, which is very powerful to create mass awareness.Role of Broadcast mediaAs I said earlier, we are now in a state of "Media Expansion", we have lot of TV and radio channels and every day new channels are coming. Broadcasting media is the most common & popular media in our country.In the cases of developing countries, like Bangladesh, implementation of education fully depends on appropriate use of broadcasting media technology. And the government as well as private organizations are using Radio and television for meeting these demands.A significant result has already been achieved in the field of mass education of Bangladesh by using broadcasting media. All the TV and Radio channels present various educational programmes for the students. These programmes become very popular in the country."Meena" cartoon to create awarenessFor example, Bangladesh government in association with UNICEF Bangladesh is presenting a cartoon show "Meena". In the serial Meena is the main character. She represents the common village girls of our country. She talks about serious issues such as education, early marriage, unequal food and other sensitive social issues.This cartoon show created a huge mass awareness in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, there is universal awareness of Meena and 95% know the Meena television series. Now she became a role model of south Asian girl fighting against the society without any weapon.The state run radio channels also organize educational programmes for the children and adults. They arrange live grammar classes, explanation classes and public awareness programmes.In my childhood, I heard a radio programme regularly. That was "Gombhira song show" (A type of popular local song), which created a huge mass awareness among people. In the songs some "Gombhira" artists explains the fundamental rules, regulations of the society and their positive impact on people`s life.Thus, the broadcasting media in our country, over last few decades is trying to expand classrooms for people without building any school.ConclusionIn Bangladesh, the reach of mass media has gradually increased in the last few decades. Now people are more conscious about issues like education and health. The government and human rights organizations are giving various social awareness advertisements in newspapers, Radio and TV, which plays a vital role in expanding education among people.Although, currently, 20 per cent of the population is under some form of media darkness, Bangladesh has experienced phenomenal growth in education by using mass media. Especially, this penetration has increased more rapidly in rural areas, compared to urban dwellers.The article was published on International Institute for Journalism (IIJ) and Digital Development Debates' websites.

To those who have devoted their lives to dance, sometimes called dancesport, dance matters greatly. These are the people to whom the future, the needs and wishes of the dancer matter.
It is also an unfortunate fact that certain matters have divided the dance world, there are those prepared to work simply for their own power and ignoring the needs and wishes of the dancers - the people who should matter most.
This website is dedicated to all those to whom dance matters, to whom freedom matters.

It's finally happened: Nuclear war. The catalyst? Syria. After President Bashar Al Assad was assassinated by Islamist rebels in the city of Damascus on March 3rd, 2015, the Syrian Arab Republic collapsed. The loyalist army fought to maintain the status quo as Prime Minister Wael Nader al-Halqi stepped in and took over in Assad's place. But it was a losing battle, and by the end of the year it became hard to tell who was really in charge anymore. It wasn't long before the rebels broke into the chemical weapon depots which the government had kept so well protected for so long - much as foreign powers had feared. And suddenly Al Qaeda was back in the headlines around the world - it had long been suspected that they had operatives among the rebels. Now, they were deploying chemical weapons across their effective range.
The United States of America, The Republic of Turkey, and the State of Israel moved in to put down the government forces and islamic rebel elements alike - supporting the allegedly non-sectarian Syrian National Council - a prominent organization that proposes to take over as the new government of Syria.
The People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation responded with sanctions against the United States, as they had long backed the Loyalist factions. They did not necessarily want to become embroiled in a war, however.
To make a very long story short, after two years of escalating tension, The Islamic Republic of Iran launched nuclear warheads in 2018 - annihilating Atioch and dealing critical damage to the infrastructure of the Holy City of Jerusalem.
America, Turkey, and Israel invaded Iran - pulling the region into a messy war. Russia and China both declared war and mobilized to defend Iran...
The result, when all was said and done? It's not longer quite clear who launched the first missile. But in the end Washington D.C, New York, Los Angeles, Moscow, Saint Petersberg, Tehran, Damascus, Aleppo, Beijing, and Hong Kong were all reduced to ash. The world finally saw that compared to modern weaponry, the atom bomb was... a joke. A hand grenade in a garbage pale, in comparison to a modern ICBM.
Now, with the world in mourning, those who watch and wait have found their opportunity to make themselves known. At first, with foreign objects hurtling out of the heavens all across the world... people thought the missiles were coming down again. But these were no explosives - they were shuttles, and each bore deep into the heart of those cities which had been destroyed by nuclear weapons. For thirty days, then... nothing happened! They had burrowed into the earth and lain dormant. It seemed that they soaked up the radioactive elements, because the radiation in affected areas dropped at an alarming rate after they arrived.
Some governments had built up makeshift facilities around them - some kept them under guard. Some tried to dig them up and examine or destroy them - but if ever they got close the machines would only drill deeper. And one at a time... they started to 'wake up'...
The world is a very different place now. Driven by the desperate need to rebuild and heal, more people are opening their eyes and turning to the magic arts which had so long been shunned as superstition - finding new powers there, even if many had to court sinister powers to do it. Strange creatures began to show up, too - more common around the destroyed cities, who did not seem to mind radiation at all. Some say they are aliens - some say they are demons. To others, mutants. These days the activity is most prevalent in the middle east and to folks in Europe, it the headlines seem like something out of a tabloid paper. For many, it's simply too preposterous to believe...
...So basically this is going to be an RP set in the near future in an earth-like setting. I'm not sure about the specific plot yet, but there's the background! This will probably be set in the middle easy, most likely Israel or possibly Syria. I welcome you to bring such elements as historical 'magic' into the game, although I will gladly accept more modern "fantasy" concepts as well. There is certainly an extraterrestrial presence, but the nature of that isn't entirely decided yet. Given that it's only been twenty years, I don't expect any super-advanced sci-fi stuff from earth; but new and plausible technologies are welcome. If you have a good reason you might have acquired technology from the extraterrestrial presence - or you might be one yourself - and that might get a little more advanced. They may have things like functioning artificial intelligence.
I'm open to most fantasy and science fiction races, concepts, and designs - barring certain things like these weird high school drama "fantasy" RPs that seem so popular these days. You are also free to make your own concepts, though of course those will be on a case-by-case basis. I'm open to suggestions regarding plot, alterations to the current story, and... well everything else. Is anyone interested? ^^.

Let's face it. The only people still playing Rock Band are the people are people like us on the forums, who simply can't get enough of it. People who love music, and love the feeling of playing along to their favorite songs on a video game. Sure, Rock Band 2 sold millions of copies worldwide, but a majority of players got tired of it after a couple years.
Let's take a look at Guitar Hero. The first game was released in 2006, which made a breakthrough for music video games because it was something no one had ever seen before. Then with the second and third games, the popularity grew and Activision was suddenly making tons of cash off of this franchise. But then, with Guitar Hero: World Tour not doing as well (and Rock Band 2 selling lots of copies), things started to turn around. So they thought "How about we start advertising the crap out of Guitar Hero, to get more people to buy it!" Guitar Hero 5 launched, and they didn't make back the money that they lost from all the advertising. A year later, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock came out, and despite its 93-song metal setlist, new storyline, exclusive Megadeth song, and Soundgarden tie-in, no one liked it and they had no choice but to end the series.
Harmonix was smart with Rock Band. Very smart, actually. By the time Rock Band 3 came out, everyone was sick of hearing about music games. People were done. They realized that the number of people that still played these games was merely a fraction of the people who had originally bought them. However, the people who still did play them were very faithful to the series, always buying DLC, posting on the forums, participating in online games, and more. So Harmonix thought "Hey, if we release a new Rock Band game, the Rock Band fans will know about it regardless of how much we advertise." It would have been pointless to waste money on advertising. So they didn't.
The game was completely aimed at Rock Band fans, and they weren't trying to reach out to the general public. They didn't take any risks like Guitar Hero did, like adding a strange storyline or advertising on every street corner. Notice how Rock Band 3 was not sold in a giant box set with all the instruments, because Rock Band fans already had those instruments. And this actually worked out very well for them. DLC is still a big money maker for Harmonix, and almost everyone who still enjoys Rock Band has paid money Rock Band 3.
Then Rock Band Blitz came out in August 2012. Two years after GH:WoR. People hadn't heard anything about music games for a while (except maybe Rocksmith, but remember Rocksmith is one player, Rock Band is more of a party game). People were ready for something new. And Rock Band Blitz was very new. The game is unlike anything people have seen before, and what's brilliant about it is that it reminds people that the Rock Band franchise still exists, but at the same time it's not the game with five colored frets on a plastic guitar that people were sick of by now. Best of all, you could play it with a normal controller, so they were clearly reaching out to people who had sold their plastic instruments, or otherwise just did not care about Rock Band at all anymore. If they had advertised Rock Band 3 more, people would not care about Blitz because they would be tired of hearing about Rock Band related things. This, I believe was the best business strategy for Harmonix. Try to sell to Rock Band faithfuls with Rock Band 3, then try to sell to the mainstream, general public with Blitz.
What do you think? Was there something Harmonix could have done better along the way? Do you think Rock Band 3 would have done well if they had advertised it?

Thunder River Theatre's Valerie Haugen has organized a poetry festival in Karen Chamberlain's name, and elicited help from a lot of poets familiar to San Miguel County, including yours truly.
It's funny. Spring comes early to Wright's Mesa, even before the equinox. But it's an ephemeral spring. Muddy for sure, but just as likely to turn snow white blizzard the next week, or day …
Goodtimes writes: "I continue to mull the surprising information from Michael Martelon that our summer tourism market now exceeds our winter ski season. That's a significant change."
Wes Perrin, who deserves a big thank you from this entire region of Southwestern Colorado, is truly one of our alternative energy pioneers in Colorado.

The Mitchell ReportPrior to coming to Yazoo City I had covered the Delta State baseball team every season since the 2008 one, which ironically enough was the closest the Statesmen ever came to advancing to the College World Series in my time in Cleveland.So, after the Statesmen won the NCAA South Regional this past week, I began looking at the statistics of all of the teams headed to Cary, N.C. this weekend and there was one thing jumped out to me.Delta State boats the best team batting average of the eight teams in the college world series with a .321. MSU-Mankato is second at .318. That makes the first round match up for Delta State all the more interesting.St. Mary's (TX) has the best pitching staff in the world series with a team ERA of 2.18. Delta State has the third-best ERA at .313. That should make for an interesting game.Here's another stat that jumped out to me: Delta State has a roster consisting of 38 players, only six of which were seniors. The Statesmen are easily one of the youngest teams at the College World Series.Is that a bad thing? No, but experience usually is a part of winning a championship. Of course, there are a million other things that will go into play this weekend.The big question now, I guess, is how far will Delta State go in the world series? If you go strictly by records and seeding, they should lose in the first round to St. Mary's, but how many times have we seen the lower-seeded team win.Delta State has great hitting (Michael Vinson and Jordan Chovanec are the two best) and great pitching (Colton Mitchell, Aaron Newcomb and Josh Branstetter) to make a serious run at a national championship.The only way to find out will be to tune in and support Mississippi's best baseball team.

It's (Sort of) Subjective, Isn't It?
My wife went to CO to see her sister for a couple of days which means that I watched some documentaries. Yes, I rock that hard. One movie that I had wanted to see for quite a while and finally had the chance to watch was Exit Through The Gift Shop.
In case you haven't seen it, it's basically the story of Thierry Guetta, a Frenchman who video-tapes nearly every moment of his life. He hooks up with his cousin who is a "street artist" going by the name "Space Invader." He basically places tile mosaics inspired by the video game Space Invaders on buildings, in public spaces, etc. Fascinated by this new, exciting and illegal world of "street art," Guetta dives head-long, following Invader in his exploits. Invader introduces him to several of the scene's "stars" including Shephard Fairey (yes, the guy beind "Obey" and the iconic Obama "Hope" poster) and finally, the elusive Banksy.
If you're not hip to the jive, Banksy is an internationally known "street artists" whose iconic style often includes stenciled black and white figures accompanied by a saying. Highly political, Banksy's identity has ben a closely guarded secret. Guetta makes himself and his (apparent) considerable resources available and gains unheard of access to Banksy.
But there's a problem; Guetta is not a film-maker, just a filmer. He has no intention of ability to turn all of his hours of footage into a watchable movie. Banksy, realizing this, turns the table in a scenario in which the lines between fiction and reality, forcing us to consider what is or isn't actually "art." Banksy takes over the movie, thus guaranteeing himself not only artistic control but continued anonymity. He decides to take Guetta and move him from voyeur to "street artist" himself and, thus, "Mr. Brain Wash" (or "MBW") is born. Guetta begins making his own marks on the streets and even launches an art show.
And, while it seems that Guetta fancies himself an actual artist, he is actually a pawn in Banksy's scheme to challenge and question the entire "art establishment." Banksy seems to be using MBW as a real-life art piece. In fact, many people believe that the entire affair was simply Banksy putting flesh and bones to this piece (yes, there is a "bad word" in the image).
The whole thing reminds one of Andy Kaufman and forces us (at Banksy's will) to consider the question: what is or isn't "art"? Can a ruse selling derivative paintings by a henceforth unknown "artist" for thousands of dollars be considered art? Is graffiti art? If so, is there a line between simple "tagging" and actual "street art." Is music "art"? How do you know? Can something be "art" to one person but not another?
This is really part of the issue, isn't it? "Art" does not seem to have a satisfactory definition. Applied human creativity? Tangible imagination? Does it always have to have a "point"? As a Christian, these are things I think about quite often. After all, Christians have the most to celebrate and yet we seem to make some of the most mediocre "art" out there. We not only have the most to celebrate the least to fear. Our identity is secure, so we should be the most adventurous.
The very fact that the film is labeled as "A Banksy Film" and Guetta becomes "Mr. Brain Wash" should alert us to the fact that Banksy is not only behind the film but making some pretty specific points and that's what's so fascinating about the movie. I don't really have a specific point here other than to ponder aloud what is or isn't art? Does that make this piece art?

Guitar Strings - THE PRODUCTION PROCESS |
Page 3 of 9
THE PRODUCTION PROCESSAt first sight, the production process followed in the nineteenth century and beyond seems surprisingly similar to that of today. There are, however, a number of important differences, which suggest that the strings of that time - above all those produced in Italy (Rome, Padua, Salle and especially the famous Neapolitan strings, which were favoured by Paganini and by late nineteenth-century London) and in France (Paris and Lyon) - were superior to ours in a number of respects. The process entailed the use of lamb gut, which, having been carefully emptied and rinsed in running water for several days, was treated in various ways so as to eliminate all not-muscular membranes and fatty substances. This was done by leaving the guts to soak for several days in alkaline solutions (prepared by dissolving ashes in water), the strength of which was gradually increased to the point where the unwanted membranes and the fat that always accompany catgut could be easily removed by scraping gently with a piece of ditch reed. Several cleaned guts were then placed together (the number determining the diameter of the final string) and twisted repeatedly using a suitable winder, after fixing one end of the proto-string to a peg on one side of the drying frame. When the string had been properly twisted, its free end was fixed to the other side of the frame, putting it in traction. When the frame was full of twisted guts, it was placed inside an airtight chamber, where the guts were bleached with sulphur dioxide prepared by burning sulphur in a bowl. At the end of this process the strings were again twisted and left to dry in the air. The final stage consisted of the sanding of their surfaces by rubbing with a herb with abrasive properties, or with pumice powder. The perfectly sanded strings were then oiled with olive oil, cut off the frame and wound into circles. The tendency today is rather to twist the guts less, thereby producing strings that are too stiff, and to rectify this mechanically: although this guarantees a specific string calibre, the fibres of the string often suffer from over-correction, with the risk of reduced durability. |

Intel's Moblin2 Starts Netbooks Faster
With Moblin2 Intel is taking another shot at developing a distro that runs on mobile Internet devices and netbooks. The first alpha of the small distro boots up fast.
Thanks to Bootchart and a modified version of Fedora's Readahead named sReadahead, Intel developers Arjan van de Ven and Auke Kok could boot Fedora in five seconds at the Linux Plumbers Conference in September 2008. The technology they used is also part of Moblin2, which, according to DesktopLinux.com news, recently booted in just a few seconds off a USB stick.
Moblin2 has on board a brand new Kernel 2.6.29rc2 and X Server 1.6 with DRI2 support. A Connman tool should make wireless connections easier than the Network Manager that it replaces. An additional Moblin Image Creator (MIC2) lets you cobble together your own Linux variants.
Moblin2 currently uses the Xfce window manager, but that should soon change; the 3D performance is rather timid. The Moblin organization's alpha announcement provides on the supported hardware. To test Moblin2, download the live ISO and burn it to CD or USB stick. KVM and VMware images are also available to run the distro on a virtual machine.
