Well it's that time of year again where we all get our cars back together and head out to the track and see if all that work over the winter has paid off. As spring rounds the corner and tracks open up again we get days like today, a brisk sunny day at the track with some old faces and lots of new ones.
This would be one of the familiar faces you seen many times on Big Boy Media and around the PNW driving the wheels (and body panels) off this 350z! Andrew has put a lot of time and energy into this car and it shows, this weekend was testing out his new suspension setup…. the fact he was running full throttle 3rd through 70% of the course showed that it was paying off.
I was really hoping to see more of Nik Jimenez, after a short day at PGP the weekend before, Nik went out hard… Maybe a little to hard as his car ended back on the trailer early in the day with a blown transmission.
This was a new car to me, I've heard he was out some time ago but I dont recognize the car. Whomever it was you can see it was doing very well. The amount of angle coming off those knuckles was seriously amazing to me.
Here is DriftSafari's own Ian Fournier drifting his daily driver R32 GTS-t with a stock RB20DET. I am so impressed with this car and him as a driver, to be able to pull off some of the drifts that he did with that much power made my jaw drop.
And another shot of Ian just after letting go of the E-brake into the 3/8th's bank.
This S14 is one I have seen out at PGP a few different times and seeing him tear up this track was really a great thing to watch.
Tom has been coming out to evergreen in this S13 for a while now pretty stock car motor wise and he always manages to drive it's wheels off(as shown above).
Sugoi Style was at it again… Casey Torres and his non-latchable hatch shown here enjoying the 3/8ths bank on his hot lap session… Casey is the wall tapping king at evergreen, the left rear corner of that car has been tapped at least 30 times and he always just puts his fender back on and keeps on going.
And just because we love the "Missile" so much here is another shot of Casey tearing up the infield.
Kyle drives what we at Big Boy Media call the "Identity Crisis", this FC is powered by an SR and runs Nissan front and rear brakes…. He's shown here with some impressive lock and getting VERY close to that wall.
What can I say other than it's Tyler Grimsley out again… Some of you have probably read my story about him knocking me out of competition last season once or twice (ok you've heard it 100 times) but I always make sure to stop by his pit and stay for a chat. Best line out of his crew chiefs mouth this event: "Something is weird in there, but until you break it I can't fix it. So go break it!" Seems he and I think alike!
Here he is giving Tyler one last pep talk before Tylers first crack at the 5/8ths bank. They ran into a few mechanical issues before they had a chance to take a good run at the bank, they were getting them all fixed up just as we had to leave.

Road closures not related to flooding
FOR FRIDAY (April 26th)
Beginning this afternoon, Smithville Road will be closed to all traffic at the bridge located about 1.5 miles east of the Smithville Road and Trivoli Road intersection. The closure is necessary for bridge construction. Construction is expected to last until mid-September. A detour route will be in place along adjacent County roads.
The intersection of Alta Lane and Radnor Road in Peoria will become a four-way stop. This change will remain in place indefinitely.
For Monday (April 29th)
The Illinois Department of Transportation announces that temporary daytime and nighttime right lane closures on eastbound I-74 between I-474 and I-155 are scheduled to begin Monday, April 29th.
The lane closures will continue for about one month and are necessary for removal and replacement of the outside shoulders. The speed limit through the work zone will be reduced to 45 mph.
The overall project is the complete reconstruction of I-74 from Pleasant Hill Road to Morton Avenue in Tazewell County, including construction of additional through-lanes on I-74; reconstruction of the I-155 interchange into a new configuration; ramp improvements at the Morton Avenue interchange; removal of eight existing structures on I-74 with replacement of six of those structures; pavement removal and replacement; installation of highway lighting; and, installation of roadway drainage. The project is expected to be completed in 2015.

- Why Hire Car Shippers
Car Shippng
International Vehicle Shipping Rates
Vehicle shipping rates vary depending on the following factors. Distance. How far away is the point of destination to the point of origination? The farther the transit, the longer the time your car is in the care of your car shipping company, which means more service hours and use of their facilities. Needlessly to say, you have to pay more when shipping a vehicle, for instance, to London or Tokyo, than when you are shipping anywhere in the United States.
Shipping locally makes use of an automobile carrier truck. You car is loaded onto this truck along with up to ten other vehicles at a time. Vehicle shipping rates using this method cover cost such as gasoline, the driver, facilities and overhead costs. When shipping overseas, there will be more costs to cover. International shipping rates involve shipping facilities, terminals, and taxes. There will be additional expenses – expected or unexpected – on Customs fees, levies and taxes, importation/exportation costs, storage and so on.
Also, your local car shipping company will connect with a car shipping company in the country of destination, and therefore, could incur additional costs. As a car owner, it will be very helpful for you to do a little research on the laws or regulations in the country of destination so that you get a good idea on any possible factors that can add to your expenses.
Another factor other than distance is the weight of your vehicle. The larger or heavier a vehicle, the more expensive shipping is. More facilities are necessary when transporting, for instance, a family van than a regular sedan. Also, a wide vehicle could take up space originally for two cars. To lighten your car a bit, it is advised that you drain your gasoline tank. Leave only a quarter of a tank, enough to drive it on and off the carrier truck or vessel. Remove any attachments such as a bicycle rack or ski rack.
The third factor that contributes to car shipping rate is car condition. Before the actual transport, inform the shipping company if you need a crane or any special services to lift your car onto the carrier. This will add to the shipping costs but can avoid any hassles along the way. In some cases, car dealers will hire auto transport shipping companies to ship brand new cars for display. The shipping company would need to prepare a crane or lift, and other necessary safety measures.
The type of car shipping service also determines car shipping rate. If you live away from the terminal or port, you might need to pay for door-to-door service. This involves both pickup and drop-off. The cheaper option is to drive your car to the terminal on your own. There is also a huge difference when shipping either through the open or enclosed shipping method. Enclosed car shipping is about 75% more expensive than the more common open shipping. This is because enclosed vehicle shipping guarantees 100% protection and security to your car, and as a result, 100% peace of mind to you. Other factors that can affect the vehicle shipping rates are also temporary storage and insurance.

Beamtime Request
Remote Access
Procedures Panel
The SBC General User Program now offers support for data collection and processing from a remote computer located at the user's home institution by utilizing freely available software applications called "NoMachine NX Client" installed on the user's computer and the "NoMachine NX Server" application installed on the SBC data acquisition and data processing servers. NX makes it possible to display the entire desktop of the SBC server onto the user's remote computer. Data acquisition and data processing can proceed as if the user were sitting at the console of the SBC server. Data backup is typically performed by copying data over the network from an SBC NX Server to the user's (Linux or Macintosh) NX Client. In addition to the network copy, some users send a USB disk to the beamline along with their crystals. SBC currently supports USB disks which are less than 2 Terabytes in size and are formatted either FAT32 or ext3.
"Remote Access" requires the use of the SBC Sample Mounting Robot! Remote Access is available to the experienced SBC CAT users who have previously collected data LOCALLY at SBC, are familiar with SBC CAT hardware and software and who have up-to-date SBC beamline-specific training. Users who meet these requirements and wish to collect and process data remotely at SBC CAT need to request remote access when submitting their proposal for beamtime. SBC management must review and approve the request for remote access before beamtime is scheduled. SBC does recommend that if possible at least one person from the user's organization should be present "locally" in order to handle crystals and assist less experienced users in data collection when needed. In order for a group to be permitted to operate entirely remotely, SBC requires that the group have at least one expert user available at their home site to help and support the less experienced users of the group.
The user's remote computer must have network connections at least as fast as ADSL and must support video resolutions of at least 1280x1024 (and preferably 1600x1200). The user's computer must also be capable of running one of the free versions of the NoMachine NX Client application. Please check the list of NX Client Products at the NoMachine website http://www.nomachine.com/download.php
Remote connections will not be permitted until all of the preparations listed below have been completed. Once your proposal is accepted and approved for remote access you will be contacted by an SBC staff member (your "SBC Host" or the SBC systems administrator) in order to coordinate the handling of your crystals and to determine your data backup strategy. Please follow the steps below to prepare for computer access prior to your beamtime.
IDDAQ-purple refers to the SBC NX Server that is used for data collection and for some data processing.
IDPX-plum refers to the SBC NX Server located in the "ID-OPS" area that is used for data processing only.
IDPX-white and IDPX-neon are SBC NX Servers located in the "IDWA" and "IDWB" work areas respectively. These NX Servers are used for data backup and data processing only. Users will have access to only one of these servers. You will be notified prior to your beamtime which server is available to you.
As an alternative to creating NX sessions with the NX Connection Wizard, you may simply copy the configuration files provided by SBC, for example IDDAQ-purple.nxs and IDPX-plum.nxs, to $HOME/.nx/config on your (Linux or Windows) NX client system. For Macintosh clients (use the "NX Player" software) the location for the configuration files is in the Documents/Virtual Desktops folder.
Your Login / Password information will be communicated to you by phone.
When your scheduled beamtime begins, you may open NX sessions between your registered NX Client systems and the SBC NX servers. You must begin by establishing phone contact with your SBC Host who will ensure that the sample mounting robot has been initialized and that your samples are properly loaded into the robot dewar(s). Your SBC Host will then interlock the D-hutch, open the X-ray shutters on the beamline and help you to initiate your backup strategy. You will be instructed on how to contact your SBC Host whenever you need "local" assistance. We do require that each individual user browse to the SBC website from one of your NX Clients and "check in" using the SBC User Registration System (the "CHECKIN" link in the panel on the left of our home page). You may then collect and process data as if you were sitting at the console of the SBC servers!
At the completion of your scheduled beamtime you must:

The Ethics of Climate Change; June 2008; Scientific American Magazine; by John Broome; 6 Page(s) What should we do about climate change? The question is an ethical one. Science, including the science of economics, can help discover the causes and effects of climate change. It can also help work out what we can do about climate change. But what we should do is an ethical question. Not all ¿should¿ questions are ethical. ¿How should you hold a golf club?¿ is not, for instance. The climate question is ethical, however, because any thoughtful answer must weigh conflicting interests among different people. If the world is to do something about climate change, some people¿chiefly the better-off among the current generation¿will have to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases to save future generations from the possibility of a bleak existence in a hotter world. When interests conflict, ¿should¿ questions are always ethical. |

My art- Alice painting the roses tattoos
Some of these people contacted me and asked if they could use it (a big thank you to those people!), others got it done and then managed to track me down, some are unaware still of it's source and I just happened to stumble across the photos on tumblr.
Seen or own a tattoo based on my Alice drawing? Please contact me/ leave a comment!
14 comments:
I am so happy to have your art as my first tattoo. I have been asked many times where the original came from and happily pass on your name and link to this site. My tattoo artist done a fantastic job and added his own little flare to it. I can't stop looking at it. Thank you so much. Top left is my tattoo..:)
ReplyDeleteso I saw your tumbler account where you were angry at Disney for "stealing" your artwork...correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you "steal" a scene from their movie, Alice in Wonderland to create the artwork? Seems pretty equal to me...
ReplyDeleteRepliesI'm no law student or anything, but I believe there is a difference between creating an original piece using another piece as inspiration, and using an exact copy for profit, as Disney seems to have done with the cosmetic bag. I feel like intellectual property comes into play somewhere here....
DeleteI would agree. It isn't like the artist created a drawing of a screenshot from the film or something. This was an original piece of artwork that was stolen and is being used for somebody else's financial benefit.
DeleteAlice in Wonderland doesn't belong to Disney, Nat. Lewis Carroll created Alice in Wonderland and his work has long been in the public domain This specific artwork, however, is owned by Katie and Disney blatantly stole that.
DeleteDisney does not own Alice in Wonderland. Louis Carroll wrote the book in the 1800s and it passed into the public domain, so Disney made a movie based on it. Disney owns the movie and the movie alone. Not the idea of a blonde girl in a blue dress painting roses. None of what Katie did was even remotely wrong, but everything about what Disney did is shitty.
i already have one Alice in Wonderland themed tattoo on my leg, just done yesterday, and I wanted ot continue the theme on the other leg but couldn't find a fitting representation. I have seen this picture multiple times when i google search for a AIW theme tat and everytime I see it I am drawn more and more to it. I had no idea where it originated and in seeing this I am more convinced that I would love to have this piece depicted on my body. I would love your approval before I do so. I think the entire story of Alice speaks to so many of us in so many ways. To me it speaks to a certain level of "madness" that we all carry. Alice painting the roses would be a perfect piece to go on the other leg and draw together the entire theme. Your work is beautiful and I hope that I can be a part of portraying that to the world.... or at least the people I know.

NCGA Junior Tour
The NCGA's new Junior Tour got off to a great start last weekend at Poppy Hills.

Boys 14-15
Boys 16-18
Girls 12-14
Girls 15-18
PEBBLE BEACH – The new NCGA Junior Tour kicked off a scheduled seven event tournament series with its inaugural championship Saturday and Sunday. The Monterey tournament was played at Poppy Hills with competition spanning five age-division flights. The Junior Tour is part of a new commitment by the NCGA and NCGA Foundation to provide competitive opportunities for kids.
The overall champions were Mathew Miller of Pleasanton, who won in a two-hole playoff over Boys 16-18 flight champion Patrick Grimes, and Tessa The of Los Altos, whose final round, two-under-par 70 was a 15-stroke improvement over her first round. The was runner up in the 2007 NCGA Junior Championship at Lake Merced. The two champions often caddy for each other when not competing in the same event.
In the Girls 12-14 flight, Hannah Suh of San Jose came from behind in the final round to win by one shot over Briana Mao of Folsom. Suh turned in a final round 75 to overtake first-round leader Mariko Yamaguch Tumangan of San Jose, who finished third. Bonnie Hu of Fremont took the title by two strokes over Julie Shutler of Manteca in the Girls 15-18 flight. Hu's 162 total featured consistent rounds of 80 and 82. There was a three-way tie for third.
The Boys 12-13 flight saw Carlos Briones of San Lorenzo grab a two-stroke win over Christopher Petefish of Danvile. Briones and Petefish started the final round in a tie, but Briones' three-over 75 proved the difference. Jason Kuo of Milpitas was third. Luke Vivolo came from three shots back to win the Boys 14-15 flight. Vivolo's final round, one-under 71 propelled him to a three- stroke win over first round leader Kraig McLeod of Pebble Beach. Travis Rowney of Pleasanton finished third. And in the Boys 16-18 flight, Patrick Grimes captured first place by two strokes via a final-round 71. Grimes was closely followed by first-round leader Michael Weaver of Fresno and third place finisher Daniel Corvig of Modesto.
The NCGA Junior Tour's next event will be played in the Central Valley, at Stevinson Ranch next weekend, March 15-16.

My Discussions
My Email Digests
I suddenly felt energized and started going through my closets and bagging clothes that either don't fit properly, have needed fixing but I haven't fixed them, etc and put them downstairs where most likely, they've been thrown out. I could have lugged them on public transportation, one day at a time, bag by bag, but I don't have that much time or that much energy. It's now or never.
Oh, the relief!
I got rid of bags of plastic bags, I the conscientious recycler. I put them where they can be recycled. I didn't look to see the ones I had saved for either sentimental or pragmatic reasons. I simply put them out.
My friend is helping me with all the chores that I find overwhelm me. He's helping me room by room. (He is) Priceless!
I also got a feng shui workbook that I pick up and follow.
I hung my chimes. I put my yarn projects in zippered clear plastic bags. I washed all of the blankets for all of the rooms. I put all of the paper in question into to large plastic closeable containers (so the cats can't get to them). I tackled the litterbox.
I feel quite accomplished now, and empowered. Inch by inch, slowly I turn...I want to have my house back by autumn, no later than winter of this year.
Papers...........I hate organizing things.
My bedroom is a problem. I have about 6 or 7 storage bins full of memorabilia from my dd, but I think I have a problem because when I was little everything got thrown away and go through serious measures to keep memories of my dd's past.
Plus, I had NO money when she was little so I don't have videos and I deeply regret this:(
I wonder if I really need to keep bank statements and check stubs..........I don't know which things to keep...........
I just bought a book on organizing. I don't remember the name of it offhand. I will look for it (lol, it isn't lost in the clutter, I am too lazy to go get it).
Part of my problem is that I am a perfectionist, so even when I do something, its not good enough. I know I can't have it perfect so then it is like I end up giving up. However, lately I have misplaced several major items/papers and it is absolutely driving me crazy that I can't find them. That is one thing pushing me to get organized.
The one good thing I did this spring was to organize clothes. I took everything out of my attic and sorted them and donated about 10 big bags of stuff. Maternity clothes..gone (my youngest is almost 10, I don't think I need them lol). A lot of baby clothes...gone. I kept a few items for each of my boys, then got rid of the rest. I figured someone who needs them is better off with them.
Paper is one of my battles. But in general, I have a habit of keeping things "just in case".
Sorry for going on. I will look for that book and see if there is something to share from it. :)
Just the site of clutter makes me so confused and frustrated. So, I don't know what to do about it. This morning I threw a lot of papers away, so that was good.
If I could get everyone to pick up after themselves here it would be great. I hate back tracking. If I cleaned something or a room, this means I can go on to something else, but when people won't pick up, then I go backwards again........
Somehow, I tend to leave things everywhere and I didn't used to be that way.
I know there is a website
Flylady.com I remember I started to look what they said and it helped. I should go back to that. I remember she said to always keep your sink cleaned every day, if anything...........
I don't mind cleaning........but I hate picking up and organizing. So, most days, I tend to look past it and it keep piling up...........
Mabey we can help each other here:) I really am trying to get it together, but struggling:)
Also, I had my mom's baby shoes, her sister's baby shoes, my brother's baby shoes and mine. I kicked them to the curb as cute as they were!
Someone I know kept every single one of his pay stubs--It turns out he needed them to prove that he worked 20 years for an agency. If he hadn't kept them, they would have denied his pension.
I don't know how long to keep bank statements, either. I want to get rid of bills from years ago next. I think I'll do that right now...
I tend to think like this.............If it is something I've been thinking about getting rid of for a while, then okay, but if it's on a whim with not much thought then mabey I better give it a bit more time.
I'm trying to think that way w/ my impulsive decision making. It helps some:)
My bed was littered with knit/crochet projects--There was no room for me. So I've been eliminating the clutter and putting things where they belong. I have 2 big bins of paper--This is the hard part, so hard that I avoid the boxes as much as possible. Soon, though, I want to get to it.
I've got a collection of hats. Today I decided that if they didn't fit, then I was going to give them away. And even though they are my favorite colors, one, a shade of purple, I got them out of the house.
I'm hungry.
That's very good about the hats:) I don't have any of those...........I keep looking at the big pile of stuffed animals in my room that aren't mine because my dd doesn't want her room cluttered with all that stuff.
They bring back memories........
I've decided that I'm a collector rather than a hoarder, but I need to let go of some more things..........
I can't decide what to get rid of so, for now, I'm going to stuff them in the closet and at least have the illusion that my room is clear, lol.
Then, I'll go from there. If that makes sense.
My dresser has no clothes in it.........but it's all filled with memories and I have no place for my clothes.
Getting better though. Since this exchange I have filled up 2 trash bags:)
It's definately helped me and has got me thinking. Funny, there was a time, where I had almost nothing in my place. It's been since I had my dd that I've struggled with getting rid of things....I'm afraid of throwing away memories.
I'm also paying more attention to Fly lady:) That website is a huge help!
Paper, I'm having a hard time with that...........but I proudly got rid of quite a bit recently.
I don't think I hoard, either. I'm a collector, too. I've got to get rid some more of the coats in the vestibule or foyer closet. I should get rid of one tonight while I'm in the mood...
I will look at flylady again. For some reason, I didn't understand her website before, or something like that. I'll try again. Thanks.
I admire you for being able to deal with other people not picking up after themselves...That's hard to keep the clutter fight up when other people aren't doing all that they can.
I still have to get to those 2 vats of paper, though. I find paper to be more of a nuisance than cleaning the toilet!
She says they come out easily but I've yet to try this. I started cleaning mine, one blind at a time with windex and paper towels because they got really dusty and it's taking me forever.
They look good now though.
I don't like these skinny blinds because they break and bend easily and I broke one of them and then tried to patch it up w/ tape, but wasn't successful.
I also would like to save up for new blinds. The think ones that don't break and are easier to clean, lol. We'll see though.....
Unfortunately, I lack her height and arm strength/width.
I'm exhausted.

Supercomputing to Help UC San Diego Researchers Visualize Cultural PatternsJanuary 9, 2009 High-performance computing and the humanities are connecting at the University of California, San Diego - with a little matchmaking help from the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
The two agencies have awarded 330,000 hours of time on DOE supercomputers to UC San Diego's Software Studies Initiative to explore the full potential of cultural analytics in a project on "Visualizing Patterns in Databases of Cultural Images and Video." The grant is one of three inaugural awards from a new Humanities High Performance Computing Program established jointly by DOE and NEH. "Digitization of media collections, the development of Web 2.0 and the rapid growth of social media have created unique opportunities to study social and cultural processes in new ways," said principal investigator Lev Manovich, who directs the Software Studies Initiative. "For the first time in human history, we have access to unprecedented amounts of data about people's cultural behavior and preferences as well as cultural assets in digital form. This grant guarantees that we'll be able to process that data and extract real meaning from all of that information." The Software Studies Initiative is a joint venture of the UCSD division of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) and the university's Center for Research in Computing and the Arts (CRCA ). The cultural data to be crunched by the DOE supercomputers include millions of images, paintings, professional photography, graphic design, and user-generated photos, as well as tens of thousands of videos, feature films, animations, anime music videos and user-generated videos. Examples of data sets to be processed include 200,000 images from Artstor.org, as well as 1500 feature films, 2,000 videogame previews and 1,000 video recordings of videogame play, all from Archive.org. (All the cultural data is in the public domain, published under appropriate Creative Commons license, or is under publishing agreements that allow research and educational use.) "This will allow us to compare how the proposed approach works with different types of data and also to communicate to different scholarly communities the idea of using high-performance computing for the analysis of visual and media data," said Manovich. "We hope that our project will act as a catalyst encouraging more people to begin their own projects in turning visual data into knowledge."
The Humanities High Performance Computing Program is a one-of-a-kind initiative that gives humanities researchers access to some of the world's most powerful supercomputers in DOE's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The program will also fund training time for the humanities researchers on the computers. The UC San Diego project and two others – based at Tufts University and the University of Virginia – were selected after a highly competitive peer-review process led by the NEH's Office of Digital Humanities. "A connection between the humanities and high-performance computing communities had never been formally established until this collaboration between DOE and NEH," said Katherine Yelick, NERSC Division Director. "The partnership allows us to realize the full potential of supercomputers to help us gain a better understanding of our world and history." For approximately three years, Manovich has been developing the broad framework for research in cultural analytics as part of the Software Studies Initiative. The framework uses interactive visualization, data mining and statistical data analysis for research, teaching and presentation of cultural artifacts, processes and flows. Another focus is on using the wealth of cultural information available on the Web to construct detailed and interactive spatio-temporal maps of contemporary global cultural patterns. "I am very excited about this award because it allows us to undertake quantitative analysis of massive amounts of visual data," explained Manovich. Researchers will use a number of algorithms to extract image features and structure from the images and video. The resulting metadata will be analyzed using a variety of statistical techniques, including multivariate statistics methods such as factor analysis, cluster analysis, and multidimensional scaling. That statistical analysis and the original data sets will then be used to produce a number of highly detailed visualizations to reveal new patterns in the data. All the outcomes of the project will be made freely available via a new Web portal, CultureVis, set up by Software Studies Initiative. Manovich is an expert in the theoretical and historical analysis of digital culture. His previous work will be used to determine which features of visual and media data should be analyzed. "Above all," he noted, "we hope to direct our work towards discovery of new cultural patterns, which so far have not been described in the literature." Said NEH Chairman Bruce Cole: "Supercomputers have been a vital tool for science, contributing to numerous breakthroughs and discoveries. The Endowment is pleased to partner with DOE to now make these resources and opportunities available to humanities scholars as well, and we look forward to seeing how the same technology can further their work." In addition to UC San Diego's cultural analytics project, two other groups were awarded time on the DOE supercomputers. The Perseus Digital Library Project, led by Gregory Crane of Tufts University , will use NERSC systems to measure how the meanings of words in Latin and Greek have changed over their lifetimes, and compare classic Greek and Latin texts with literary works written in the past 2,000 years. Separately, David Koller of the University of Virginia will use the high-performance computing to reconstruct ancient artifacts and architecture through processing and analysis of digitized 3D models of cultural heritage.

Runs from Flushing Avenue to the north, Atlantic Avenue to the south, Broadway to the east, and Bedford Avenue to the west.
Hear "Bedford-Stuyvesant," (or possibly just its nickname, "Bed-Stuy,") and you'll probably think: brownstones. The Stuyvesant Heights historic district of Macdonough, Bainbridge and Chauncey is landmarked — Lewis Avenue between Macdonough and Decatur was once named the "Greenest Block in Brooklyn" — but there are beautiful historic brownstones scattered throughout Bed-Stuy. Many of these highly coveted Bedford-Stuyvesant townhouses have their original fireplaces, crown moldings, and shutters. Often they are set up as two- or three-family houses, so that Bedford-Stuyvesant renters as well as buyers can enjoy their historical charm.

The quality of the videos is great, perfect for an instant rock party in your room. Take my word for it, many an impromptu rock party has been held in my room with just me and only me. Sometimes things get so wild, I'm in my pajamas when they happen.
Now, don't be jealous. You can live vicariously through me by watching these live Boom Boom Satellites videos — pajamas optional.
Thanks to May Young for the excellent videos! Here for more of her video work and here for the official BBS Myspace page.

EA Wants To Revive Old Games, Despite Syndicate Not Paying Off
Frank Gibeau, an EA employee, recently spoke about the return of past IPs. At E3 2012, EA decided to reveal a whole list of sequels. They weren't interested in bringing new IPs, instead, they showed Dead Space 3; a new Most Wanted; and Crysis 3.
Most Wanted is sort-of being "revived", where the others are sequels. Sequels which many will play merely because of the name-tag.
EA has a desire to bring back old titles, where sometimes this risk pays off. Gibeau noted that SSX had a "very successful launch", where Syndicate wasn't really appreciated.
"Syndicate was something that we took a risk on. It didn't pay off – it didn't work," he said.
"But in general it doesn't change my appetite for wanting to go look in the library and see what we have and maybe bring back some IPs for the next-generation. That's the nature of the business; some stuff works, some stuff doesn't."
"I think SSX was a very successful launch for us and there was some online innovation there that really showed why it made sense to bring that back," he added.
"It's done well and you'll probably see more in the future. There are numerous IPs that I think about all the time like Command & Conquer and Sim City – which is a brand we've brought back after seven years."
Therefore, we can expect EA to bring back old games which utilise new technology.

The Myth of Market Fundamentalism and Failed Polices: Review of Joseph Stiglitz's Book, 'Freefall: America, Free Markets and the Sinking of the World Economy'Jee LeeDuke University May 5, 2010 Abstract: A professor at Columbia University and a Nobel-Prize winning economist, Joseph Stiglitz sent his book to press nearly two years after the inception of the Great Recession of 2008. In his book, he unfolds the causes of the recession, assesses the Bush and Obama administrations' responses to the economic crisis and lays out suggestions for preempting another future meltdown. He goes beyond passing blame to individuals and emphasizes, "'pealing back the onion' figuring out what lies behind each of the mistakes" made both prior and after the crisis. He lucidly explains how overleveraged banks, mortgage frauds, reckless lending and deregulation led to the crisis. Despite the wide spectrum of the issues Stiglitz covers in the book, it is readily understandable to any layperson with interest in the subject matter. Some may complain about his demeaning tone of "I told you so," but he is right that this crisis was foreseen by several economists including himself. Despite their warnings, Stiglitz points out many including Bush turned a blind eye to a mounting evidence of the crisis. He argues that the crisis could have been prevented with right measures, to name a few, good regulations and right incentive structure in place. In his book, Stiglitz calls for changes in the regulatory system, noting that "the problems are systematic". Coming from the Keynesian background, he emphasizes that "markets on their own evidently fail - and fail very frequently" as evinced in the current crisis.

I am a big lightweight when it comes to drinking. On Thursday night, I had 4.5 beers and three shots consisting of Contreau, raspberry vodka, and lime juice. I got sick that very night, obviously, and threw up quite a bit. However, two days later, I'm still feeling nauseous. Is this normal? I'm getting paranoid that maybe I'm pregnant, but I doubt this is possible. I was feeling perfectly fine until I drank all of that alcohol. I'm using AlkaSeltzer Morning Relief and eating lots of soup and drinking ginger ale. Granted, my nauseua isn't as bad as it was yesterday but the slight queasiness is annoying, especially when I have a 7 pg paper to write. I'm hoping that others have had equally long hangovers and this is something that time will remedy. In the meantime, any fix-all cures that you can reccommend?

I don't think it's abnormal to have a long hangover. It takes a long time for your body to process all that alcohol. I have felt terrible for days after a drinking binge. Lots of rest and fluids should help. My husband also swears by Dr. Pepper. Hope you feel better soon.

One day it is the norm to feel rally really f* up and then an extra day to feel kinda weird and strange.
Get rid of ir by drinking a bit more of beer like 1/2 of a can
That's what I do if I feel a bit hung over when I wake up, or coke and rum or even coffee with some liquor in it. Hey it kicks me right off my feet.Drink plenty of water, eat some greasy food and good luck !!!

do you think you might have gotten pregnant while you were drunk?? a hangover last a day, being pregnant lasts a little longer, just wait and see.

A hangover is nothing more or less than dehydration. (Unless you really over do it, than it can be real alcohol poisoning.) The alcohol bonds with water in your system and both leave together. The naussea and ill effects will last until you bring the water in your body up to healthy levels, and the toxins that have built up while the water wasn't there to transport them away down to normal levels.
Until then, expect joint aches, nausea, and fuzzy thinking. -

You are just simply shouldn't drink alcohol. 4.5 beers and two shots, I am just getting my night started. When you drink a fifth of any any alcohol and then look for more, we can discuss a hangover!!

A lightweight for sure…anyway, I've definately felt like crap and had hangovers last for days. But I'm with the one guy on this one about it being more like a fifth of liquor that did it. AND greasy food is DEFINATELY the way to go!! A total hangover cure-all. Lots of water. A warm coke. Ginger ale. A plain baked potato. Those all settle a quesey stomach. Good luck! And go take a pregnancy test!

I had a two day hangover once …it was horrible. You have my sympathy. I used to get hangovers really easily. To prevent them, I just stick to beer and I never mix beer and liquor…actually I really don't drink liquor at all anymore becasue when I do I always get hangovers. Also, drink lots of water while you are drinking alchohol. Im a lightweight too and one time my hangover was so bad I had to go to the hospital to get rehydrated…and I haden't even drank that much! Since then I have been very careful and I haven't had a hangover in over a year. Be careful…and I hope you feel better.

We had a daughter in December and named her Ivy Anastasia! We picked Ivy because we liked it but later found out she has a great aunt Ivy! Anastasia because her 4 grandmothers are named Anne so we just elaborated on that since our last name is also 3 letters! So far no regrets I love her name and most people we meet do too.

When I opened my eyes I was in a daze, there was an abnormal fog in the air and I realised I was lying on the ground. I winced, I had landed on a piece of wood, or at least I thought I must have fallen, how else does someone end up on the ground? The distant shouts roused me from my stupor and I pulled myself to my feet. I coughed wildly, it seemed the fog had something to do with it so I pulled my scarf over my face and ventured into the smog. The streets were empty save for abandoned cars and scattered class from many broken windows I wondered what had happened here for such desolation to occur. I followed the sound of the screams and rounded a corner I came face to face with a figure dressed in black, I paused, wary of the other 3 figures that accompanied the first. Each of them brandished a lit flamethrower, and all of them were pointed at me, the one to my right let out a burst of flame and I ducked as the others squeezed on the triggers of there's. I approached one of the men kicking his legs out from beneath him, he hit the ground hard and I took up his flamethrower unleashing the white-hot flame upon the other 3 figures. Each of them screamed as they melted to the ground but I didn't stop until they were silent.
Once again the not so distant screams revived me from the trance I had fallen into, I ran down the street, sure to keep my newly acquired weapon close by. I rounded the corner and the smell that assaulted my senses was that of putrid flesh. The combination of the fog and the heat of the flames made my eyes sting and water but I powered through. Through the now thinning fog I saw a lone car sitting in the road, surrounding it was a swarm of the undead clawing at the windows at the screaming people inside. I readied my flamethrower and aimed only to see the hoard slowly falling to the ground, each one overcome by the fog. That's when I saw him, a man of medium height and build climbed out of the car, the fog still clung to me and I knew I was hidden. Then man had short, light brown hair and bright blue eyes and I had a feeling that I had seen him before. He placed his hands on the back of the car and started to push, he yelled a command to the people inside of the car and it roared to life and sped away. I realised all too quickly who the man was, Sergeant Doyle, he was military I had never met him, but I knew who he was, I knew how he met his end at the hands of a soldier with a flamethrower. I glanced down to my hands then and saw the flamethrower nestled there I threw the offending object from me and approached Doyle.
He was knelt on the ground, supposedly resting, I walked towards him slowly and when I was stood behind him I reached down and placed my hand on his shoulder.
"Hello." I whispered. What happened next came so quickly I almost didn't have time to react. Doyle sprang to his feet and suddenly the point of a gun was in my face, my hands flew up. "Woah, Woah! Hey! I'm human! Not infected!" I blurted, but the gun didn't waver. "You owe me Doyle! I just saved your life!" This time Doyle lowered the gun,
"Wait what? You know me?" He asked,
"Well, no not exactly but I know what was meant to happen, and I know that I stopped it!" I said jumbling my words.
"What are you talking about!?" Doyle yelled, I could see his hand curling around his gun readying it.
"Listen, my name is Kathryn and I don't know how but I know that your death was meant to happen now, but I stopped it." Doyle's whole body slumped, and he lost the focus in his eyes,
"I-I'm meant to be dead? How?"
"You got out to push that car; you thought you wouldn't be coming back didn't you?" I asked, trying to get him to understand. "You thought you were going to die. It's because you were meant to, four soldiers with flamethrowers, they were going to kill you." Doyle looked back at me; his eyes met mine, in the depths of the blue I could see fear, a hint of confusion and then overwhelming sadness. "Hey, that's not a bad thing! You were meant to live, you're a good man!" I consoled him.
"So you saved me?"
"I don't believe in a god or anything, especially not after all this, but are you an angel?" I couldn't help but laugh,
"Of course not you idiot!" Doyle cracked a smile then. A groaning noise filled the air and we could hear footsteps thrumming against the ground.

Can emergency vehicles adequately access our condominium site?
Emergency vehicles can access condominium sites provided that the internal roadways are free of garbage, snow and/or vehicles. Fire hydrant areas should also remain free of garbage, snow and/or vehicles.
If the internal roads and/or hydrants are blocked by snow, garbage and/or vehicles who is responsible to keep these areas clean?
It is the Condominium Association's responsibility to ensure that the condominium complex is accessible by emergency vehicles and that the fire hydrants available for use. A Condominium Association's Bylaws should, among other items, address garbage collection and removal; snow removal; and parking privileges of its owners, tenants and visitors. Enforcement provisions should be carried out by the Condominium Association.
Can the Town assist us with snow removal and/or garbage removal?
The condominium complex is on private property and should be co-ordinated by the Condominium Association and paid through Condominium Association fees.
Can the Town assist us in enforcing our parking regulations?
Although the Town may have assisted with parking violations in the past, these parking violations are in accordance with the Condominium Association's Bylaws and occur on private property. The Town subjects itself to liability when enforcing Bylaws with which we are unfamiliar. The Town is able to enforce TAC standards only.
How can the Condominium Association address parking issues?
The Condominium Association may adopt Bylaws which clearly state regulations for parking. The Condominium Association may adopt regulations which state how many vehicles may be registered to each unit. The Association may also control its resident and visitor parking by issuing parking passes. Additionally, regulations may be stated as to where parking can occur. Each unit is provided with two stalls; one in the garage and one on the driveway and these may be specifically noted in the Condominium's Bylaws.

Wu - Chinese Martial Arts
About Our Team
me, ThinkQuest is not only an international competition, but also a golden opportunity
for me to learn how to work as a team and the proper ways to deal with others.
It's a hard task though, we could still solve the problems one by one, and this
empowered me to be more confident. I do learn a lot throughout the whole process!
"Never give up!" This was our motto throughout the whole
ThinkQuest project. In fact, it took up a lot of time in researching , collaborating,
writing essays and uploading our "Masterpieces". This task was hard
yet meaningful as teenagers and people around the globe could enjoy our marvelous
Chinese Martial Arts project. This was also our aims to promote Chinese culture,
especially Chinese Martial arts to you..
To our
gladness, Mr. Cha kindly accepted our invitation. This shows Mr. Cha's
enthusiastic in helping fledglings like us academically. Here, we cordially
thank Mr. Cha again for his kindness to share his expertise insights regarding
martial arts with us.
ThinkQuest brings me a new challenge. I have to generate new aesthetic
ideas to give fresh looks to my audience. Besides, problem solving is very important
in this project as we encounter quite a lot of problems such as computer down
and not enough sophisticated hardware. And we need determination and perseverance
in order to work on this large project in a very short time. Emily and I responsible
for the web page part and some of the writing parts. While Carmen, Kenas and
Kimmy responsible for other writings. Anyway, doing this project is a happy
When I was asked to participate in the ThinkQuest Competition, I was
thinking of copying and pasting information from other website and designing
a web-page, then finish... But in fact, the competition is absolutely different
from what I thought. To complete the competition, I have to finish a lot of
tasks, such as searching information from internet, libraries, interviewing,
etc. During the process, I have learnt much about the Chinese culture, especially
the part of Chinese Martial Arts. Therefore I am glad to participate in this

Al-Ahram Weekly 25 February - 3 March 1999 Issue No. 418 |
Published in Cairo by AL-AHRAM established in 1875 |
Egypt Region International Economy Opinion Culture Features Travel Living Sports People Time Out Chronicles Cartoons Letters Final blow to a dying village
By Zeina KhodrNine-year-old Mohamed is among the 100 residents left in Lebanon's southern village of Arnoun, which Israel last week effectively annexed to its illegitimate "security zone". "I'm not scared," he said defiantly, as he stood behind the barbed wire now encircling the village.
Along with the barbed wire, the village has been made a no-go area by landmines laid by Israeli troops manning a position overlooking the village. An earth barricade blocks the entrance to the village and road signs in Arabic and Hebrew read: Caution -- Mines, and Stop -- Border.
This is not the first time the village, half of which lies in the occupied zone and the other half in a no-man's land, has been subjected to Israeli aggression. Before Israel carved out the zone in 1985, Arnoun had a population of 3,000 but, over the years, residents, fed up with the worsening conditions, fled and settled in other parts of the country. Israeli troops have often set up checkpoints at the entrance to the village, searched homes and detained residents they accuse of helping the Hizbullah resistance movement. In December, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) bulldozed 20 homes after suspecting they were being used by Hizbullah.
Now, the few women, children and elderly that remain are short of basic supplies. "Why did you leave us? We need help, we do not have water, food or medicine," a woman screamed as a number of beleaguered residents peered across the divide of barbed wires and mines. "One man here desperately needs medical treatment."
The Lebanese government has filed a complaint to the cease-fire monitoring committee, made up of representatives from Lebanon, Syria, Israel, France and the United States, but it is unlikely that the group, which was set up after Israel's Grapes of Wrath operation against southern Lebanon in 1996, will be able to change the realities on the ground. Sources said the most it can do is condemn Israel's action. An understanding reached after Grapes of Wrath bans attacks on and from civilian areas but allows the resistance to launch attacks against Israeli occupation troops and their local allies.

"Israel's assertions that it wishes to withdraw from Lebanon sound absurd as it annexes yet another village," said Prime Minister Selim Al-Hoss on Sunday during a visit to Cairo. Other Lebanese officials said Israel's move is designed to put more pressure on the Lebanese government to accept its security conditions for withdrawal from the south. But Beirut, backed by Arab countries, insists on an unconditional withdrawal according to the United Nations Security Council resolution 425.
Israel, meanwhile, has rebuffed claims that its recent move is tantamount to occupation, preferring to describe it as a "technical adjustment". Furthermore, it argues the fence was erected to protect the villagers from Hizbullah.
One resident, however, said the only protection they need is from the Israelis, who have harassed them over the years. "If it is not an occupation, then we should be able to enter and leave the village freely," the resident said.
This reporter, accompanied by a television crew, tried to enter the village at a point where there were no landmines. One person managed to get across the barbed wire but as the rest of the group attempted to cross, IDF troops positioned on a hilltop above the village fired several bursts of machine gun fire. The message was clear: Do not enter. We quickly left the area, leaving behind residents who had expressions of fear, anger and bewilderment on their faces.
"If this is not occupation, then what is?" Deputy Yassin Jaber told the Weekly on the sidelines of a demonstration denouncing the annexation. "A few weeks ago, Israeli troops bulldozed homes in the village. They have been using all kinds of pressure on its inhabitants and now they have placed barbed wire around the village. The people cannot enter and leave."
Hizbullah has denounced the annexation of the village and vowed to continue its struggle. "Israel has been suffering major military setbacks at the hands of the resistance. It has run out of military tactics and thinks that it can weaken us by annexing the village," Hizbullah's official in south Lebanon, Sheikh Nabil Kawook, told the Weekly. "But we will not remain quiet."
Hizbullah Deputy Mohamed Raad described Israel's move as a "manifestation of the upcoming Israeli election".
For years, the IDF has prohibited cars to enter the area. Residents of the village have to make the three-kilometre journey to the Kfar Tibnit border crossing on foot, along an overgrown track. "What do you want us to do?" one resident screamed. "Our children go to schools in Nabatiyeh [which is not in the zone]. They will have to walk a long distance and then take a taxi to their schools. This is not a way of life. What if one of us gets sick at night?"
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) managed to bring in some food and medicine to the inhabitants over the weekend, but it is only a matter of time before most of the remaining residents abandon the village. According to Lebanese sources, depopulating the village may be one of Israel's objectives. "Israel thinks that the civilians there have been assisting the resistance," one observer told the Weekly. "If it empties the village, Israeli troops will be able to strike freely at resistance guerrillas as they attempt to launch attacks."
Lebanon's Premier Al-Hoss said Israel is challenging the international community with this latest aggression and that Lebanon has sent a letter of protest to the United Nations Security Council. But, judging by the previous lack of reaction to Israeli aggressions against Lebanon, the international community is expected to remain silent. It is unlikely Israel will come under any pressure to reverse its decision regarding Arnoun. Furthermore, the American ambassador to Lebanon, David Satterfield, has already downplayed Lebanon's complaints. "The monitoring group is the best forum for discussing the conflict in the south," Satterfield said.
