Hills, Hawgs & Ho Chi Minh by Don Kardong
At the heart of every run is an adventure, and 1976 Olympic marathoner Don Kardong has had his share of both. Kardong takes readers through the adventure of a wonderfully varied range of running events: from bisecting the Grand Canyon to the first marathon in Vietnam, from the Empire State Building to a 50-miler in Montana. See why Sports Illustrated says, "Don Kardong is the only spiritual descendent of Mark Twain ever to bring his unsparing eye and antic voice to running." • Click to see more about this book

Go East Old Man by Paul Reese
Even after a record-setting run across the country in 1990 at age 73, Paul Reese wasn't satisfied to stay home and be comfortable. Two years later, he and wife Elaine hit the road again heading east from their California home embarking on a mission to run across 14 states west of the Mississippi River where he had yet to tred. Reese, in his 70s, spent five summers running across those remaining states and writing daily in his journal. His notes became the basis for this book ... but the book is not necessarily about running.

Lawyered up. He ain´t saying a word.
Any comment on Marc Foley? The Marc Foley fiasco was horrible, ut at least we heard about that.
Sen. Bob is much too busy as a devoted public servant - - working on behalf of all the American people - - to dignify scurrilous charges made by crazed, right-wing zealots.Or something like that.
The redStar Ledger wants Menendez to come out with a good lie so they can swear to it.
Someone certainly needs to ask old Bob about his vow of silence Lots to uncover there.
"Now you listen to me. I´m going back to work for the American people and putting this behind us."--- Sen.(with only one "O")BobHey! It worked for Bubba. Why not?
He needs truth serum. A lib will NEVER tell the truth, we all know that.

I don't get why people keep asking about the cheat sheets?
What's the use of a cheat sheet?
Do you guys revise the learned stuff from the cheat sheets or what? Because in my opinion they are of no use.
Edit : I saw people here and on Stack overflow asking the cheat sheets for a particular language.
I just wanna know what's their use? Are they used to revise what you've learned before an exam/interview etc. ?

Obviously, online dating serves a purpose. It fills a void that traditional dating and mingling does not. The early seeds of online dating were subjected to skepticism and mockery. But online dating is becoming more and more popular with every passing year. Maybe there is something to it. Here's a brief assessment of the pros and cons of online dating. Take a gander if you're considering this route.
It caters to a busy lifestyle. A lot of people claim that they don't have the time to venture out in social settings in search of their significant other. Meeting someone online allows you to meet someone without compromising your schedule. However, it is important to note that at some point, as the relationship progresses, you will eventually have to make time for your lover as your online relationship progresses. The person will want to meet you face to face.
This brings me to the first con in this post. Until you spend time with someone in person, you cannot verify that (s)he is who (s)he says (s)he is (and even then you just never know). People lie over the internet all the time. They lie about their height, their income, their occupation, their appearance, their family, their age etc. A higher level of caution is encouraged when participating in online dating. No matter how convincing the person is, you must behave with a high level of caution and a minimal amount of trust until the relationship has reasonably progressed away from the virtual world. Some lies are easy to discern, but as demonstrated in the documentary Catfish, some lies are intricate and sophisticated and could really damage you emotionally.
There is greater exposure. You are not limited to people who go to the parties you go to, or work in the same area that you do. This provides an interesting opportunity for you to date other races if it suits your fancy or to find people that share your sexual preference, values, and beliefs.
Greater exposure often leads people to interact with other people who are very far away. You are swept away by the beautiful breeze called love and you allow it to carry you to different cities, countries, and continents. More often than not, long distance relationship don't work out. Love makes you want it to work, but practicality gets in the way.
Whoever you are talking to was looking for someone too. There is no confusion about the person's desire to be involved. You don't have to stay in the crush limbo that flourishes in school settings, unsure if the person you care for feels the same way or even wants what you want.
Online dating provides an easy opportunity for someone to live a double life. That person you are communicating with over the internet may be married with kids without your knowledge. Although leading a double life is possible regardless of where the individual is met, the easy accessibility to people seeking relationships on the internet makes online dating a convenient and even preferred route to start an affair.
With the popularity of social media, you don't even have to go on an online dating site to find someone you have a connection with. People have fallen in love through Facebook and Twitter…me being one of them. It's a different world, and it's not impossible to find your significant other over the internet. Be careful. Be cautious. Be alert.

Anyone going to see this documentary to find out about Allen the man will be disappointed: the focus is definitely on his work, establishing him as a film-maker but choosing not to address his plays or other writing.
Viewers may not know 'early funny' films (running joke from Stardust Memories (1980)) such as Bananas (1971), but quite possibly do know Manhattan (1979) – looking good at 33! Those working back from Midnight in Paris (2011) will find much to enjoy…
This film sets out the details of how Woody Allen began his career: at first writing gags for columnists, followed by work with agents, Rollins and Joffe, who encouraged him to try his wit at stand-up comedy. After painful sessions at clubs like The Blue Angel, Allen eventually got recognized, and his name spread. Further exposure in mediums such as Dick Cavett's show led to writing and appearing in What's New, Pussycat?(1965), which was mauled by studio executives.
The experience told Allen to direct his own films, which Joffe and Rollins secured, and he began with Take The Money and Run (1969), co-written with friend Mickey Rose (likewise Bananas). Fifteen years' worth of releases were well represented in clips and comment. At that rate of progress, I did wonder how long the film could be. But it jumped over some films, and also cut a recent decade before featuring Scarlett Johansson in Match Point (2005) and Penelope Cruz (who won the Oscar) starring alongside Johansson in Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008).
Interviews revealed plenty of conflicting views on Allen' s style; Josh Brolin spoke of his dissent with Allen's direction, and Robert Greenhut suggested that actors do their best because they wanted to work with him. In contrast, Mariel Hemingway (Manhattan's teenage Tracy), Scarlett, Mira Sorvino, Diane Keaton and others spoke as clear adherents.
There were few negative aspects to the film but the most notable was having a theologian film-critic read the published interviews (1995) quote 'existential subjects to me are still the only subjects worth dealing with' into Allen's films, which seemed unnecessary.
While Allen was was obviously happy enough to show the first house at which he lived, what had become of the cinema to which he used to escape, and, presumably, footage that he had made of his mother in later life he does not dwell on any other aspects of his personal life. There is, however, plenty of Allen being bright and creative with words and in his films to satisfy most viewers.
Anthony has awarded Woody Allen: A Documentary four torches of truth

Mark your calendars — #4sqDay approacheth!
Two years ago, a group of passionate foursquare fans in Tampa Bay, Florida asked their mayor to officially declare April 16 (4/4^2; it's delightfully nerdy) 'foursquare day,' and encouraged people in their community to check in to their local businesses on foursquare to celebrate.
Thanks to our amazing community, the holiday has exploded since then. Last year, there were over 1000 meetups around the world, with 19 mayors declaring 4sqDay in their cities! With our 15,000,000-strong global community, this year promises to be even bigger!
Want to get involved? Do you like checking in, supporting your local businesses, and earning badges? There are a bunch of easy ways to be a part of foursquare day:
- Plan a meetup in your city
- Ask your mayor to proclaim it
- Claim your business and create a festive special
- Or just check in with your friends!
The pros on the community-powered 4sqDay blog can show you how it's done.
There's much more info on the way, so stay tuned. And in the meantime, check out meetup.com/foursquare to see what people in your city are doing for 4sqDay! (And if an event hasn't been planned, set it up!)

"I Love You"
Posted by One Gay at a Time in Gay Dating on June 27, 2012
No matter how many times it happened, I never grew tired of waking up next to CK. The night before concluded with the most passionate lovemaking we shared to date. Everything felt amazing!
It was late in the morning, but I was still reeling from our late-night romp. I could only dream every time would be like that from there on out. Warning: The following may be too graphic for some. When I woke him with my kisses, he ran his hand down my torso until he noticed my morning excitement. He grabbed hold and squeezed, expressing his delight in his discovery. He pulled the sheets down, followed shortly by my boxer briefs. As his head bobbed up and down between my legs, I let out moans of pleasure. What a way to wake up!
Apparently, neither of us got enough the night before. We were both still excited about how amazing it was. It made me excited and hard just thinking about it. We both wanted a sequel.
He climbed on top of me, and we began passionately kissing. Of course, things escalated from there. It wasn't long before I had him on his back, and I was deep inside him. The sex was great that morning. It wasn't quite like the epic romp we had the night before, but it was great. We flipped, and he had his way with me.
When we finished, while we laid in the bed together, he took hold of my head and said, "[O.G.A.A.T.], I love you." Even though I suspected it was coming, nothing could have prepared me for that moment. No man had ever told me they loved me before. I knew he meant it. I stared deep into his eyes — Deep into the eyes of the man I loved too. "I love you too, Babe," I added. We hugged strongly and kissed passionately. It was an incredible moment, and I began to cry a little. He reacted by comforting me. I think he was a little panicked. He didn't know how to deal with that, but that didn't really matter. We were in love. That was all that mattered.
Because of this and the sex, we were very late for our plans to meet P on the pier. When showered up, ate something and packed our bags for the pier. P was there waiting for us when we arrived. We apologized for being delayed and hinted at the reason. She gave a giddy laugh and scolded us.
P and CK decided to hit up one of the food trucks/ice cream trucks after a while. They came back with all sorts of things and an ice cream sandwich for me. While they were gone, I played with P's dog, Baby, and I texted the rest of my friends to see who was up for a day on the pier. A few responded explaining they'd be on their way shortly.
I told the other two everyone's whereabouts and plans. CK asked about my sister, but I told him she hadn't responded to my text. He was very concerned with her perception of him. They'd only met for a short while at the Hoboken Arts and Music Festival a few weeks earlier. Even when prompted, she still had no opinion. This worried him.
After some time, my friend G joined us. I also got ahold of D and his girlfriend. They were in the city for brunch, but they would join us on their way back home.
CK and I decided we wanted to have some refreshing cocktails to go with our small picnic of snacks. Just as D and his girlfriend were arriving, we made our way to the liquor store to get some prosecco. I had a great idea to mix this with a few flavors from Rita's Italian Ice.
While we walked, CK and I discussed him meeting my parents. They were coming into the city in early June for a Broadway show and dinner. I wanted him to meet them. I invited him to the dinner a few days earlier. I explained to him my sister's reaction to his invitation, as well as my parents. My parents had no issue, but my sister thought it was too soon. In telling CK this, I realized I made a big mistake. He immediately expressed to me, "OKAY! Now, I'm definitely not coming!"
"WHAT!?" I protested. I was not happy with that. I was very excited for him to finally meet my parents. I'd met his mother, and it went swimmingly. On top of this, he meant a lot to me. I wanted my parents to know this. They'd never met any of the guys I'd dated in the past. In my protest and explanation, I think I was able to bring him back around.
We grabbed two bottles of prosecco and made our way to Ritas. We got watermelon and mango peach ice to mix with the prosecco. We planned to make refreshing summer drinks for all.
As we walked back to the pier, he still didn't give up on the fact my sister wasn't joining us. He was harassing me to invite her, but because of her snarky email telling me I shouldn't invite my boyfriend to dinner, on top of other things, I was annoyed with her. Then I checked my phone when I went to invite her and realized I'd already done so when I reached out to the others. She didn't respond. I told CK this, and his guilt was alleviated.
When we got back, we shared our drinks with everyone in improvised vessels since we forgot to get cups. Everyone was talking and having fun. CK was fitting in nicely. I loved seeing him with my friends and how he interacted with them. He passed my friend test swimmingly. I care a lot about them, and if he could't hang with them, it wouldn't last. He was able to hold his own and impressed me to no end.
When the sun was going down, everyone was ready to head home, including CK and I. We made our way back to my apartment, telling each other how much we loved each other along the way.
We decided to plant ourselves on the couch and watch Immortals for the evening. We ate dinner and cuddled on the couch until it was time to head back into the city to his place. We didn't plan for him to stay over. It was very late, but he had nothing for work the next day. Since he was close to my office it only made sense to spend the night there.
We got to his apartment and got ready for bed immediately. I brushed my teeth and climbed in between the sheets. It wasn't long before I dozed off, but I was thrilled to be in his arms. I never got tired of sleeping with him, and hopefully, there would be infinite nights in the future we spent the same way.

Posted by One Gay at a Time in Gay Dating on June 22, 2012
After a relaxed night, including dinner, cuddling and a dream-filled night sleeping together, CK and I woke early feeling frisky. It was six am, but we were both turned on and wide awake.
Warning: The following may be too graphic for some. We started fooling around. I couldn't keep my hands off him. I was pulling him in tight and hugging him with all my might. I never wanted to let go. I lifted my hand, and gave him a smack on his backside. He always liked this — I was somewhat obsessed with his butt. It was amazing — Like The David amazing.
He put his mouth around my member and went to town. I laid back and enjoyed all the sensations. It was all I could do to hold out from jumping on top of him and slipping inside. After some time, my wish was granted. We changed positions, and I was on top of him. I slid in slowly, savoring every stimulation sensation I felt as I did. I started slow, and the pace only picked up from there. We changed to many other positions that morning.
We continued until neither could take it anymore. He finished, and we made our way to the shower to clean up. The fun didn't end in the bed. We continued molesting each other while we showered together.
After we dried off, I couldn't keep my hands off him. I wanted more sex. We were already late from fooling around in bed all morning, but I knew I wouldn't be able to concentrate all day at work if I didn't finish. He began to blow me once again, which morphed into mutual oral pleasure. I still couldn't finish. It was getting late, and we weren't making much progress, so we stopped. I would simply save it for that night.
We got dressed and made our way to the PATH to head into work. We both read the third book of the Hunger Games series, Mocking Jay. I had only a handful of pages left before I finished. I was at a part of the book that was very emotionally charged and describes a loving relationship my boyfriend and I often mimicked. I was very happy with the ending, and I couldn't wait to see him. Reading the book made me fall in love with him even more.
I texted him throughout the day to tell him how much I missed him. All day long, he would ask me, "Real or not real?" — a line from the Hunger Games books. This was definitely real. I was falling in love with this amazing man every second of every day.
I also took the opportunity to ask him if he liked lobster. I was thinking we'd go to the grocery store and pick up some cheap lobsters for dinner. He was totally onboard.
He needed to stop by his place before coming to mine. Since it was only a few blocks from my office, he encouraged me to swing by before heading to Hoboken. I told him this wouldn't be an extended thing. I explained I still needed to go to the grocery store to get the lobsters before cooking them. I didn't want to get sucked into a post-work romp before heading back to my place.
We finally made our way to my apartment. We hopped on the motorcycle and hit up ShopRite in Hoboken. I have to tell you; the seafood guy there is the coolest. He knows so much about seafood and will always suggest how to cook things. We even took the opportunity to snap a picture of him weighing the four lobsters we bought. It was then and there we decided to go home and play with the lobsters. We were going to have Hunger Game reenactments. We were like a bunch of teenage girls.
When we got home, we put all the lobsters on the counter and cut the bands off their claws. I grabbed the whiteout so we could paint them to denote who was who. We even bought pitas to represent Peeta. CK had the great idea to use the Video Star app to make a music video set to Lana Del Ray's parody of Video Games, Hunger Games.
While he filmed with his iPhone, we moved the lobsters around and made them fight each other.
When we were done playing, we dropping the lobsters into the pot and steamed them. We each had our own lobster, and I froze the other two to use for other recipes down the road (Yes, I keep lobster on hand to use in recipes). They were delicious. When we sufficiently made a mess of the entire kitchen and had our fill, we cleaned up and made our way to my bedroom. We watched a little TV before we both dozed off.
Things were starting to feel routine with him, and not in a bad way. We were so comfortable together. This is also when we both realized just how comfortable we are with each other. While in bed, he let one rip in front of me. I laughed hysterically. We'd finally reached the point we could comfortable fart in front of each other. I too squeezed one out in an act of solidarity. I told him how many farts I'd already buried in the bed with him in the past. We talked very openly about it from then on out. He asked questions about holding it in, and I explained I would always let them go when I left the room and even brought up how one slipped the first night I spent at his place. We both had a hearty laugh about it all.
He made me so happy. I found myself spending my entire day looking forward to seeing him again. Work was simply something I did between my time off — Between the time I'd get to see him again.

Posted by One Gay at a Time in Gay Dating on June 19, 2012
The day after my birthday, CK and I made plans for me to meet his mother while she was in town. I celebrated my birthday the day before without him, but I still managed to have fun. I was incredibly excited to see him. I was also incredibly honored to meet his mother. I couldn't believe he felt comfortable introducing me to her exactly one month from the date we first met, however, we'd grown extremely close in that short period of time.
There was a plan for me to meet CK, his mother, and three of his friends at Essex and Beauty on the Lower East Side for brunch. It was Mother's Day, so I knew wherever we were going was going to be a sh*tshow! I was slightly anxious. I was more nervous about meeting the one friend I'd never met before than I was about his mother. I'm not sure why, but I didn't feel any pressure there. I was pretty relaxed about it. Either way, I was missing my Superman terribly.
I arrived a few minutes late for our reservation. CK and his mother were still in transport, but the three friends had already sat at the table. One of them came to the front to greet me and take me to the table. I'd met him before when we all went to see Avengers together. As we ascended the staircase to our table, he informed me of a problem in the kitchen. He mentioned something about a leak and having to shut the kitchen down. There was new immediacy to our plans.
Per usual, CK was running quite late. I learned they were in a cab, but they were on the other side of Manhattan, however, he shared the good news he finally found a new apartment. It wasn't in Brooklyn. It wasn't on the Lower East Side. It was in Hell's Kitchen. I was thrilled!!
We learned they wouldn't arrive in time for us to order, and one of the friends began to protest in uproar. He argued with the staff until he learned of the true nature of the problem. The maître d' offered to walk us over to their sister restaurant, The Stanton Social to ensure we got a table and were served quickly.
On the walk over, we happened upon CK and his mother getting out of their cab. He was in the process of calling me. I said hi to him and was introduced to his mother. She wasn't what I expected at all. I'm not sure what my expectations were, but she certainly surpassed them. She was gorgeous and very lively. I immediately loved her spirit and energy.
We continued to the other restaurant. Not only did we get a table quickly, we were also served champagne to start. They more than made up for the inconvenience. On top of that, I feel we upgraded restaurants, not downgraded.
His mother took the time to hug all the other boys and say hi. She knew two of them from Miami, where CK grew up, so there was some catching up to do. CK was rather reserved in regards to PDA. We didn't kiss, but I got a hefty hug. He whispered in my ear how much he missed me. We held hands under the table nearly the entire meal.
It was very nice being with everyone. The conversation flowed, and there was rarely an awkward moment. Our food was excellent, and we all enjoyed our meal. I was worried I'd feel like an outsider, not because his friends wouldn't include me, but because they all already knew each other. I was the new guy. I didn't know the stories. I didn't know the inside jokes. That would take time. Generally, until I'm comfortable, I get quiet. I was worried they would think I was antisocial, which clearly isn't the case.
If they hadn't done enough to ensure we had a great experience, our lovely waitress brought us a plate of complimentary donuts to make up for what happened at Essex and Beauty.
I really loved watching CK and his mother interact. She had a nickname she called him, and I found it adorable. They shared a lot of the same mannerisms. I watched her keep him in line (and made sure I took mental notes). They were incredible together, even with the hell they went through over that weekend to find him a new apartment. It was obvious the copious amounts of love they shared.
When we exited the restaurant, his mother returned to go to the bathroom. He took the opportunity to pull me in and give me the biggest kiss. It was quite a scene, but we didn't care. His friends made comments, and he pointed out how he wouldn't kiss me in front of his mother. Apparently, it made her slightly uncomfortable when he "flaunted his homosexuality." I thought this was funny, because it's the kind of thing I could hear coming out of my mother's mouth.
I also learned that when I went to the restroom while we were eating, his mother expressed her approval to him. "He's really cute," he told me she added.
When she came back outside, we made plans to go back to his place and spend the rest of the evening on his roof watching the sunset. We stopped for a bottle of wine and some beers and went up to the roof with the batch of cookies I baked for his mother. Before heading up to the roof, CK and one of his friends were talking in the kitchen. That left myself and his mother in his living room to chat. I learned about all her dogs, as well as CK's dog all living under her care. She told me how early she had to get up to take care of them the morning she flew out. We talked about what it takes to raise a dog and discussed CK's desire to get a dog. He was constantly trying to take me shopping for a dog, but I couldn't take care of one on my own. I wouldn't have a dog until I lived with someone who would help me raise it. Maybe CK could fill that roll one day.
We spent a lot of time talking about cooking. CK's friend was an avid cook, so we had a lot to chat about. I showed him my massive digital cookbook I created. I learned where CK inherited his lack of cooking skills. Apparently, his mother was a self-admitted non-chef. She barely cooked, so the two of them discussed their lack of skill in the kitchen, however, each had their specialty they could cook. I expressed my plan to teach CK how to cook, but ensure he wouldn't cut his finger off again under my supervision.
After a while, a guy CK used to hook up with who lived in the building joined us. CK privately made a comment to me when we were downstairs how he may have seen us all through the window. He mentioned inviting him to join us, and I didn't protest. My guard was up however. I had no idea how he'd treat me. After all, I was the one who got the man he had a crush on. They were almost roommates until it came to light he had a crush on CK, who told me he did not share the same feelings.
In the end, this guy was pretty cool. He wasn't combative toward me in the slightest, and we actually got along. The conversation continued through the night. When this guy left, CK made an attempt to set him up with the friend who joined us from brunch. I really liked this guy. He seemed to get it. He was very realistic and had a great sense of humor. Of the friends I'd met so far, he was the one I felt I would get along with the best. When the old hookup left, CK's friend called him to set up a date. This also killed two birds with one bullet. The old hookup would be tied up and would stay away from my man. Yes, I was getting territorial.
CK's mother told us stories about him when he was a child, and I was really enjoying getting to know him, his mother and his friends. It was starting to get late, and CK and his mother still needed to get dinner. I needed to get home and get ready for work the next day. I too needed to eat something other than cookies. I said goodbye to CK's mother with a big hug and CK walked me to the door.
We talked about how much we couldn't wait until his mother left, not because either of us were tired of her, but because we were hungry for each other. We hadn't slept together in days, and our animal instincts were growling. I said goodbye to him with a big kiss and made my way to the PATH to head home.
It was a very successful weekend. I had a great birthday, and apparently, I was a hit with CK's mother. The whole day was a big success. I was all the more excited to be a bigger part of CK's life, and I couldn't wait for the next moment.

Chapter 2: Linear Equations, Inequalities, and System of
Linear equations are the equations that can be graphed as a line. Try to input the linear equation into a graphic calculator, and you will get a line. Before you get started on linear equations, you have to know a few terms. The most linear equations are literal equations, which means that they use letters as their variables. When you start to solve the linear equations, you should use the following ways:
Addition property of equality: For all real numbers a, b, and c, if a=b, then a+c=b+c.
Multiplication property of equality: For all real numbers a, b, and c, if a=b, then ac=bc.
Multiplication property of inequality: For all real numbers a, b, and c, c> 0 if a< b then ac< bc; and if a> b then ac> bc; For all real numbers a, b, and c, c< 0 if a< b, then ac> bc; and if a> b, then ac< bc;
Addition property of inequality: For all real numbers a, b, and c, if a< b, then a+c< b+c; and if a> b, then a+c> b+c.
Definition of absolute value: for each real number a, |a| = a if a> =0 |a| = -a if a< 0
Absolute value inequality properties: For all real numbers a and x, a> 0, |x|< = a is equivalent to -a< = x< = a and |x|> = a is equivalent to x< = -a or x> = a
Until now, we only have been talking about solving one equation. But what about solving a system of equations. We have three ways to solve the system of equations. The first way is graphing. By graphing two or more equations in the system of equations, we can find the place where they intersect or the place where the answer lies. For linear equations, there are always one answer or no answer at all which means that there is no intersection. The second way to is substitution. We take one of the equation and change it into the form of that one variable = the other variable. Ex. X = 5Y 3. Then we plug the expression on the right side into the variable on the left side in other equations. Now we have an equation with only one variable, and it is fairly easy to solve. The third way is linear combination. In linear combination, we first made two equations having the same variable with same coefficient. Then we add or subtract these two equations and by doing so, we eliminate the same variable in the two equations. Now we only have one variable, and it is fairly easy to solve.
Linear equations and system of equations are easy and straightforward. They require a little bit of tweaking, and to achieve that, you need to do more problems.

Porto SantoPorto Santo, MadeiraThe tiny island of Porto Santo lies just off Madeira's north east coast. Renowned for continuing sand dunes and a long stretch of beach that extends for nearly 9 kilometers all along an inspirational shoreline; this tranquil, unspoiled beauty spot exudes a low key ambiance and is the ideal location to relax unwind and escape from it all. The capital of Porto Santa is Vila Baleira, a little town nestling
around a port where all the hotels and most of the restaurants are found.
Christopher Columbus met his wife - the governor's daughter - here, and
it's easy to see how love could come into flower amid such romantic setting.
His stone house is now a museum, containing paintings, maps and engravings.

Jeremy Ryan is the News Resources Manager for CNY Central.
The Syracuse Orange men's basketball team may be losing one of its star players, but another says he will be back next year for another run at an NCAA championship.
Small forward Kris Joseph, a starter on this year's squad and a third team all-Big East selection, tells CNY Central's Alex Dunbar and John Evenson that he will return for his senior year. He told CNY Central that he plans to come back for one more shot at a title, and be the leader of the team in 2011-12. Joseph has been mentioned as a possible candidate to leave school early and test the waters of the NBA Draft, but this announcement could put those rumors to rest.
When asked about his plans for next year, Joseph said he will "work hard, be a senior leader and lead these guys like Rick did. Without him, no telling how far we would have went."
Joseph added he was "looking forward to next year's season already."
There had been speculation that Joseph might enter the NBA Draft. At times during the 2010-2011 season www.nbadraft.net predicted that Joseph could be a mid-first round pick.
The Syracuse locker room inside Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland was emotional after the Orange lost to Marquette 66-62 in the round of 32 Sunday night. Many players felt bad for senior power forward/center Rick Jackson, who with the loss has played his last game in an SU uniform. Freshman guard Dion Waiters in particular was upset, saying he looked up to fellow Philadelphia native Jackson as a role model and said that Jackson entered Syracuse University as a boy, but left it as a man.
Waiters did his best to prolong Jackson's career for at least one more game, scoring a team-high 18 points, but in the end it wasn't enough to overcome the team's 18 turnovers – including one questionable (yet painful) over-and-back pass to his cousin Scoop Jardine in the waning moments of the game.
On the ensuing possession, Darius Johnson-Odom's 3-pointer with 27 seconds left snapped a tie and gave Marquette the win, which put the Golden Eagles into the NCAA tournament's round of 16 for the first time in eight years. The 11th-seeded Golden Eagles (22-14) will play No. 2 seed North Carolina (28-7) in the East regional semifinals Friday in Newark, New Jersey. The Golden Eagles are in the round of 16 for the first time since Dwyane Wade led them to the Final Four in 2003.
This was the second straight early exit for third-seeded Syracuse (27-8). The Orange were a No. 1 seed last year and lost in the round of 16 to Butler.
Jackson now has graduation and the NBA Draft to look forward to. Most draft predictions show Jackson as a potential second round pick, for the 2011 Big East Defensive Player of the Year's shot-blocking and rebounding skills could translate well to the professional ranks. Joseph himself concurs, saying that his teammate will "make a lot of money in the NBA" one day.
So what do you think of this announcement? Does Joseph's apparent return to the SU Hill help ease the loss of Jackson to the pros? Leave a comment below and give us your opinion.
Information from Alex Dunbar, John Evenson, and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

GOODS: East Van Ghost Sign On The Side Of "Via Tevere" Restored By Local Artists
May 24, 2013
The GOODS from Via Tevere
Vancouver, BC | The efforts of a pizzeria, a heritage group and a team of artists have restored a unique, 80-year-old painted advertisement on the side of a former grocery store in Vancouver's Grandview neighbourhood.
In 2011, new owners began renovations at an old building located at 1190 Victoria Drive. While attempting to convert the lower commercial floor into what is now Via Tevere Pizzeria Napoletana, they removed an old layer of stucco, exposing a sign advertising Shelly's Bakery, a company from a lifetime ago.
Once very common on commercial buildings, painted advertisements have become extremely rare, usually falling victim to weather, repainting or demolition. Within days, word spread throughout the neighbourhood, photos were taken and the sign was even spotlighted on the evening news by Mike McCardel. The owners, contemplating on what to do with the sign, were approached by the Grandview Heritage Group. The owners agreed that the sign was an important piece of Vancouver history and elected to save it. The sign was framed off while the balance of the building received a makeover.
Despite attempts by the owners to preserve it, the old sign deteriorated quickly, and by spring 2013 was in desperate need of restoration, having become almost illegible. A plan was made to restore the sign, the goal of which was to keep it looking old rather than repaint it like a new sign, however restoration could only be done with financial support. Once the plan was made, the owners of Via Tevere Pizzeria Napoletana, along with the Vancouver Foundation's Neighbourhood Small Grants program, came forward with the support required. Shortly thereafter, artists Michael Kluckner, Victoria Oginski and Penny Street used the dry springtime weather to subtly repaint the mural, using techniques that Oginski developed in a career of mural painting and film and theatre work. The painting added just enough new colour on top of the old, weathered design to bring it back to life. The sign was then sealed with a final clear coat of epoxy to ensure the paint was protected from both the elements and vandalism for another generation.
William Curtis Shelly did a lot more with his career than simply run his namesake bakery, which was a huge operation for its day, with hundreds of employees and branches in New Westminster and North Vancouver as well as the head office at the northwest corner of 10th and Ash. He also built the first highway and ski chalet on Grouse Mountain in the 1920s, chaired the Park Board and was provincial minister of finance from 1928-32. The house in Shaughnessy at 1563 Matthews, where he lived for the final two decades of his life before his death in 1951, is now the American consulate.
How old is the sign? Based on surviving photographs of Shelly's 4X advertisements that date from about 1940, the sign's design is at least as old as 1935. Whether it was touched up later seems unlikely as the company updated its typography and the "happy baker" image in 1939. The sign was probably more or less forgotten during the Second World War years and then covered with stucco when the store was modernized, maybe about 1950. The Shelly's 4X brand itself disappeared from store shelves in the 1950s.
The current location of Via Tevere Pizzeria Napoletana is the old Victoria Drive Confectionery, built in 1922 and most recently the home of Doctor Vigari studios, now situated on Commercial Drive. The renovation and design of the interior and exterior space reflect the history of the building, the surrounding neighbourhood and the owners' Neapolitan heritage. Read more

About Via Tevere
It began in a small palazzo on Via Tevere—a street in the heart of Naples where our father and his four sisters were raised. Throughout childhood and to this day, we have spent countless summers on Via Tevere, where we quickly learned about the importance of food in the Neapolitan way of life. Of the utmost significance is the iconic pizza, which has become the symbol of Naples.
Pizza Napoletana is lauded for its rustic simplicity, its traditional wood-fire cooking method and its celebration of Neapolitan ingredients. Our goal is to honour our family heritage and the tradition of pizza-making by serving up la vera pizza Napoletana—the true Neapolitan pizza.
Via Tevere is a family business, opened by two Italian brothers, with Neapolitan roots, who grew up in East Vancouver. It has always been Dom and Frank's passion to open a restaurant that pays homage to their favourite Neapolitan food. Their father grew up in Naples and the family still owns an apartment on Via Tevere where one aunt still lives and they still visit as often as possible. The majority of their dad's other family (sisters, nieces and nephews) all still live in Naples.
Dom and Frank's goal was to open a restaurant that was true to Neapolitan pizza. Frank went to California to study the art of Neapolitan pizza making and was certified under the Vera Pizza Napoletana (VPN) association. They imported a high quality woodfire oven that was hand crafted in Naples that uses only hardwood (as per VPN standards). You can definitely taste the difference between a pizza cooked in a woodfire oven and that which was cooked in a gas fired copycat. It has a smoky flavour that adds depth to the pizza.
True Neapolitan pizzas are made with double zero flour, San Marzano tomatoes from the Campania region, and fior di latte (milky fresh mozzarella). In Naples (as well as according to VPN guidelines), basil is placed on top of the pizza prior to cooking. The dough must be hand stretched with no added mechanical support (no rolling pin or stretcher) and must be cooked in a woodfire oven.
True Neapolitan pizza will have minimal toppings for a balance of flavour, the originals being the Margherita and the Marinara. Our ingredients and toppings are typical of a classic Neapolitan pizzeria.
The pizzas will come to the table uncut to preserve the toppings and in keeping with VPN standards. Customers can choose to eat it any way they desire, but Neapolitans generally cut it into quarters and then fold the quarter in half, thus keeping all of the sauce and toppings within. The crust is expected to be slightly chewy and slightly soft in the centre.
VPN certification ensures and protects the authenticity and traditional cooking method of Neapolitan pizza. Certified pizzerias need to go through the application process in addition to an inspection process to ensure authenticity. This is done by ensuring the pizzeria has the proper equipment (dough mixer, Carrera Marble prep top, woodfire oven), as well as proper dough- making, stretching, topping and cooking techniques.
Most of the locals in the area already know about the history of the building, but Dom and Frank also wanted to capture this tradition, and the tradition of their family, within the restaurant as well. Their goal was to create a warm, rustic space that people felt comfortable sitting in and a place where it felt more like a family gathering than an upscale restaurant.

Today's column
… is online here. The second question — the hair-pulling one — was originally much longer. I'm baffled by the LW's family's behavior: this will definitely go down as one of the odder questions I've received.

I'm certainly puzzled by the family-wide abuse of the LW's hair – and person (trying to cut her hair WITH A KNIFE? Really???)
When I had very long hair, I had my own share of odd encounters, often with complete strangers. Long braids, in particular, seem to trigger strange behavior. A man standing behind me in a cafeteria-style restaurant line once pulled on one of my braids, and then laughingly excused himself saying that he couldn't help himself, pigtails just made him want to do that.

That is one of the strangest things I've ever heard. I can't imagine not telling them off, though I'm not terribly assertive myself.

Can you post the longer version of the letter here? I was tempted to comment about the fact that this woman was 50 years old and was still expecting her mother to stick up for her (weird) about something as juvenile as hair-pulling (weirder), but I thought that there must be some underlying dynamics that weren't addressed in the letter. Now it's just idle curiosity, I guess.

Wow, that hair behavior is just sick.
On the "openings and closings": I didn't know that! If anyone is interested, here is a bilingual version I found; the Hebrew is scanned and a bit hard to read, but manageable:
http://www.torahzone.com/AsherYatzar.htmI'm planning to teach my next biblical Hebrew class the biblical words for urine, dung, genitals, etc. This prayer will give me a chance to raise the level on that, theologically. :^) Speaking on the Christological end, for me, "reflecting on the incarnation" mostly means imagining Jesus with a killer case of ringworm.

R/GA Connected Devices Accelerator
Announcing the R/GA Connected Devices Accelerator powered by Techstars, the first-ever accelerator program to bring together world-class design and marketing with hardware, data, and digital services.
The R/GA Connected Devices Accelerator is a three-month, immersive, mentor-driven program for ten tech startups. Show us how you combine hardware, data, digital services, and innovative design—anything that adds to the ever-growing Internet of Things—and your company could go from startup to success story.
See the Press ReleaseWhat are connected devices?
The Internet has spilled out beyond the standard screens we have grown accustomed to, extending out into devices, objects, and hardware. This isn't a passing fad, but a trend that is quickly becoming a part of our everyday lives. The R/GA Connected Devices Accelerator taps into the emerging class of products that combine hardware, data, and digital services in compelling ways for end users and businesses. This mega trend, also called "Internet of Things", includes new product categories, such as wearable tech, but also new takes on traditional products like home automation, health & fitness, music listening, and more.
How does it work?
Ten companies are chosen to participate and incubate for three months, building products and/or services in the connected devices space. Each company gets the following tools and support:
- Up to $120,000
- Co-location space provided by R/GA in New York
- Design and development support from experienced R/GA designers and developers who've built connected devices and services.
- Mentor sessions with industry leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, and influencers
- Access to prototyping equipment, which includes Makerbot printers
- Invite-only launch presentation event in Austin, TX at SxSWi 2014
- Demo Day presentation to angel investors, select R/GA clients, and media in New York
Who should apply?
Any technology-powered startup around the world with an innovative idea for a product or service in the connected devices space. Your product can be hardware or software, but it should help bring together the physical with digital.
Here are a few examples, but you don't have to fall into one of these categories to apply:
- Wearable technology – medical devices, movement tracking, electronic clothing, etc.
- Sensor-driven devices and networks
- New business models leveraging 3D printing and software
- Products and services for the home – automation, monitoring, digitally–enhanced kitchens and living rooms, etc.
- Products to help you care for parents, kids, pets or plants
- Toys that use digital to encourage real-world play
- Socially enabled products and services focused on achieving personal goals
- Physical products that interact with a person's smartphone
- Services to improve development and creation of connected devices
If it's an innovative idea that is in the connected devices space, then we want to hear about it.

Hello all
Its time for me to 100% focus and accomplish my bodybuilding goals! To begin the process, starting today, I am taking my 20 yr old 6'1 frame from 188lbs @18-19% bf to 200lbs @ 15% bf by september 30, 2010. This is my short term goal for the next year.
I have been lifting on and off for about 4 years now and eating "better" for the last year (meaning 6 meals, healthier foods, aware of my macros).
My plan is to cut down to 180 at 15%ish and start cleanly bulking from there. I realize that I will probably need to cut a little bit to get back to 15% at the end but I want to minimize that time.
Looking at my goals, does this plan sound good? should I start bulking now and cut it all later? is there a faster way to get to a natural 200@ 15%? any suggestions at all are appreciated.
I will also post pics.
Once my plan is set I will start a log and look for your support!
thanks everyone

Areas of concentrated poverty growing in Grand Forks
The Northlands Rescue Mission, a charity that traditionally serves the Grand Forks area's homeless population, expanded its programs to a new group last year: local school children.By: Christopher Bjorke, Grand Forks Herald
The Northlands Rescue Mission, a charity that traditionally serves the Grand Forks area's homeless population, expanded its programs to a new group last year: local school children.
"I think we doubled the number of children we planned on feeding," said Volunteer Coordinator Amy Tweet. Every Friday, the Mission delivers bags of groceries to 145 children at four schools to ensure they have healthy meals until they go back to school on Monday.
"If we had the resources there would definitely be more kids who would need it," Tweet said.
According to Kids Count in North Dakota, an affiliate of a nationwide program that tracks indicators of childhood well-being, the number of neighborhoods with concentrated poverty is increasing in Grand Forks and around the state.
The threshold for poverty is $22,314 for a family of four.
Kids Count said the number of neighborhoods in Grand Forks where more than 30 percent of residents fell below that poverty line increased from one in 2000 to three in 2010.
During the 2000 Census, the neighborhood around UND was the only area of concentrated poverty in the city. By the 2010 Census, that area, an area to the west and the Near South Side neighborhood met the same criteria.
In Fargo, the number grew from one neighborhood to four.
In 2000, there were two neighborhoods where more than 20 percent of residents fell below the poverty line. In 2010, there were five.
Statewide, 7 percent of all children lived in areas of concentrated poverty, according to Kids Count.
More in need
The Near Southside contains Grand Forks' largest Victorian homes along with many of the Grand Forks Housing Authority's apartments. At the area's elementary school, Phoenix Elementary, 48 percent of children are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. The school also receives groceries from the Mission.
"We're seeing a lot more need with families with kids," said Principal Darryl Tunseth. "We weren't doing that a year ago, but we are today," he said of the Mission's program and the need for it.
According to Grand Forks Public Schools, the number of children eligible for free or reduced-price meals has been rising over the past decade.
At Winship Elementary School in an area with 20 percent poverty, 70 percent of students qualified, the highest in the district.
The proportion was 65 percent at Lake Agassiz Elementary in the university area, which has 30 percent poverty.
It was 58 percent at Wilder Elementary in the Near North Neighborhood, which has 20 percent poverty.
In 2000, Winship was at 44 percent, Lake Agassiz was at 60 percent and Wilder was at 47 percent, though the rules for the program have changed since then to make enrollment easier.
Superintendent Larry Nybladh said that 10 of the district's 11 schools now qualify as Title I schools, making them eligible for extra federal money.
While there has long been poverty in schools, he said, the district has set up workshops for staff to learn how to deal with how poverty affects education. "The challenge is first to understand the effects of poverty," he said. "Our teachers have always dealt with this. It's nothing new, per se."
Winship and Wilder Principal Gail Kalenze said it was hard to say what to blame for the increasing need but it contradicted the idea in North Dakota that it was "beating the odds" in the national economy.
"Even though we are," she said, "there's a smattering of people who are indicative of what's happening in the rest of the country."
Left behind
Richard Rathge, the director of the State Data Center, said economic growth in the state does not reach everyone.
"It means we have a growing number of working poor," he said. "It's one of those hidden things that surprise us."
Poverty in North Dakota typically is not caused by unemployment, which has traditionally been low in the state, said Rathge, who works with the state Kids Count program. Rather, people in low-paying jobs have not seen their incomes rise as the weak national economy has depressed wages across the country.
According Job Service North Dakota data, workers in accommodation and food services, one of its lowest-paying categories, made $9,412 per year on average in 2001 and $13,520 in 2011.
Even with that gain, incomes are still too low to for many workers to weather unexpected expenses, said Renae Kemp of the Grand Forks Salvation Army, where its 3,424 clients in 2011 accounted for a 19 percent increase from 2010.
"Many of the clients served by the Salvation Army are considered working poor," Kemp wrote in an email. "The clients have jobs, but they are not earning enough to support themselves if an emergency financial crisis should arise."
All kids affected
Rathge said Kids Count chose to highlight concentrations of poverty because such areas tend to hold back children who do not qualify as poor along with those who do.
According to the program, children from middle- and upper-income families are 52 percent more likely to fall to lower income levels as adults if they grow up around poverty. In addition to that, education and other services tend to perform worse in areas of high poverty, he said.
Rather than allowing the state's boom to make North Dakotans complacent toward poverty, Rathge said society should realize poverty's stubborn growth and its effect on children.
"Our poverty numbers are going up, and that's an interesting contradiction," he said. "I think that's the tragedy. It's our kids. That's why we should be paying attention to this."

Over on Boing Boing they're having a drabble (100-word fiction) contest on the theme "Found in Space". Apparently one can win a computer. But more to the point, everyone who enters wins a useful writing exercise.
I don't expect to win; there are a lot of strong entries, some of which I'd choose over mine, were I judging. (I deliberately didn't read any of them before I composed my submission. Good thing, or I'd probably never have started.)
Read the full text of my story after the jump.
Update: The winner and runner-up have been announced. Congratulations to them, and to the surprisingly large number of other worthy submissions. Thanks to Rob Beschizza and to BoingBoing for running the contest. (Older updates moved to the end of the article.)

Job Creation: Creating Work and Learning Opportunities for Low-Income Populations
Nov 18, 2009 | Evelyn Ganzglass
DOWNLOAD ALTERNATIVE FORMATS: Download PDF
The current economic and job crisis requires that additional steps be taken to create employment and training opportunities for those hardest hit by the recession. Experts and policymakers have proposed numerous strategies to create and retain jobs such as tax credits, public service employment and the expansion of work-sharing/short-time compensation options under the Unemployment Insurance program. This fact sheet offers a number of ideas for how the public Workforce Investment and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families systems could be mobilized to create new work opportunities for low-income, unemployed workers.

If you want to be mature and you are only 13 - 15, then sit down with your parents and ask if they would consider dropping the both of you off at a movie and then picking you up. You may hate the idea, but you could get to see this guy and also let your parents get to know him, and perhaps they will trust him in time.
The same applies if you are in your mid-teens. Ask him to come to your home on his best behavior and have him meet your parents. If he's a nice guy and they get use to him being there they may well see some good qualities in him. Try working with your parents on this because they are only looking after your safety because they love you.
Give it a try. Don't be afraid to tell this guy your parents are very strict. A guy worth his salt will have no problem meeting your parents although it's uncomfortable for him.
Good luck Marcy

Your sexual performance is only part of the equation when it comes to being in bed with a woman. Being able to knock it out of the park when it comes to performance is definitely great, but what you say – and how you say it – can make or break a sexual encounter. Check out our definitive list of the ten things women want to hear in bed, and make at least a few a part of your repertoire for best results.
Is It Okay To Date Other People ?
All too often, guys cut their options short by focusing only on a single girl each and every time they go out on a date.
In other words, many guys approach dating from a strictly monogamous standpoint.
Although there's something to be said for limiting the number of women that juggle at once, having tunnel vision about dating can seriously backfire.Still, knowing when it is and isn't appropriate to date other people can be confusing; you don't want to scare a potentially good thing off, but you don't want to miss out on prime opportunities either.
Don't Freak Her Out In Bed
When it comes to freaking her out in bed, there are good ways and bad ways.
Although every woman is different, there are some things that you should definitely avoid doing when it comes to being intimate – especially if you're hoping for a return engagement. Try to avoid doing the following things if you don't want to freak her out – in a bad way – in bed.
10 Places To Do It (Besides The Bedroom)
Even the best relationships can grow a bit played out and dull over time.
The initial rush of sexual excitement that goes along with meeting somebody new and falling in love gradually comes to an end. However, just because you and your lover are in it for the long haul doesn't have to mean your sex life has to suffer. In fact, keeping things interesting when it comes to sex can help keep the entire relationship fresh and exciting.
How Many Kinds Of Kisses Are There
"A kiss is a pleasant reminder that two heads are better than one"! Now, who wouldn't agree with me on this statement? A gentle kiss from your lover or spouse can lift your spirits and make you feel wonderfully happy even when you are depressed. A relationship is all about trying out new things to keep away boredom and monotony from setting in. a fun way to do that is by trying out different types of kisses. It can take your relationship to a whole new level and both will be glad that you tried it, since it will bond you all the more closer.


text: NATIONAL PHYSICS DATABASE. The American Physical Society (APS) task force on electronic information systems has recommended that the Society adopt as a long-term goal the creation of a National Physics Database, which in turn would be "the first step toward integrating all the world's scientific literature into an electronic information system." The APS journal Physical Review began accepting submissions in electronic form in 1979 (at first on magnetic tape) and now encourages the use of electronic networks, such as Bitnet, for transmitting articles and referee reports. (Bulletin of the APS, April 1991.)

Moderate Ken Block Makes Moves for 2014 Governor's Race
Moderate Party gubernatorial candidate Ken Block has hired a veteran of Rhode Island politics to manage his run for governor next year.
Block has hired Jeff Britt to run his latest campaign for governor. Last year, Britt managed a spirited run by an independent challenger to House Speaker Gordon Fox. Block said he thinks Britt has the ability to make a big difference in his campaign.
"I brought Jeff Britt on board because it's going to be crucially important for me to clearly and as accurately and loudly as possible get my message out to the public in this race. Jeff has a proven track record at really helping with messaging and getting the message out for candidates," said Block.
Block said Britt reached out to him after his run for governor in 2010 attracted six and a half percent of the vote. The other expected candidates in next year's race include Governor Lincoln Chafee, Cranston Mayor Allan Fung, Providence Mayor Angel Taveras and state Treasurer Gina Raimondo.

Stress, illness, arguments, and other maladies can hang around a space like energetic cobwebs, forcing us to endure their weight until removed.
Nearly every culture on Earth has crafted remedies specifically for cleansing and blessing environments that people live or work in to clear out the old, and invite vibrations that foster good health, prosperity, joy, and peace.
The effects are tangible and immediate - a heightened vibrational pulse that affects everyone who comes in contact with the environment.
Also available for offices and storefronts, a Cleansing & Blessing Service can increase sales and visibility; heighten workplace morale and productivity; attract new customers and clients; encourage long-term patronage; and help bolster creativity and innovation.
A Home / Business Cleansing & Blessing Service can be vital when:
moving into a new home or business establishment;
after a major life or business transition;
following a long illness, passing away, or divorce;
during and after a stressful period in life or work;
when seeking to invite new opportunities;
if you feel stuck or are having a hard time attracting what you want;
if your environment has been crossed or used as the site of enemy tricks;
or, if you notice a strange and unpleasant phenomena in your environment.
We begin with a free consultation to discuss your environment, its size and occupancy, and goals for its ability to more thoroughly support your endeavors. Divination is performed to highlight any unique needs your space might have and which materials will produce optimal results! Materials used are handcrafted and all-natural, consisting of high-quality essential oils, herbs, roots, and minerals; no synthetics are involved in the process.

This is the latest lookbook from H&M's spring 2011 collection. Personally I love all of the looks presented in the campaign. The overall focus appears to be "The Weekend" look. Now I must say the garments shown are not necessarily fashion forward items as some would perhaps expect. However, there are some essential pieces every man should consider purchasing which enables you to get more out of your clothing. One of the great things about H&M is the fact they are extremely affordable for the masses to be fashion saavy. Since the spring is basically here, its like to bring out the white jeans and the pastelle (i meant pastel) colors.Even though there are not any pastel colors present, it still give you the essence of spring. One of my favorite looks is the fusion of the nautical look ensemble with a stripe top, white jeans, and layered over with a military jacket to juxtapose the outfit. If J.Crew is a little too prep for you, perhaps this lookbook would give some inspiration for your spring wardrobe.

Cassie for CK one Spring 2011 Campaign
Cassie is doing what she does best, singing Modeling. This is the latest campaign ad for CK one along with Comer jackson (model on the right). Although the models are featured in swimwear, I would love the contrast provided in this ad. The italics along with Cassie's super sexy signature hairstyle provides some extra edge. Edge is something that is missing from the Calvin Klein brand. They are known for their semi-minimal aesthetic, but its always good to get some attitude every now and again! Cassie Kills it!
Kate Moss for Vogue Japan
When it comes to models, Kate Moss is perhaps one of the top models in the game. This British Supermodel grace Japan's presence in the May Issue of Vogue Nippon Vogue Japan. Everything this chick does is everything! Featuring in a glamorous fringed dress, it was perfect to select her on the cover of Vogue Japan's new name. Quite frankly I never seen a moment which she failed to deliver in fashion ad campaign/editorial; Talk about go hard or home.
Fighting scene of the week: Game of Death
This fighting scene is beyond a classic! Bruce Lee and Dan Insanto going at it in Game of Death. This fighting scene was not all about flare, but the intellectual aspect of martial arts. Like sports, martial arts is more brain than brawn.
Although striking your opponent is the objective, manipulating an opponent's rhythm and pattern requires great skill. Eskrimas and Bruce's fencing inspired moves were great!
Jab counter with George St. Pierre
Canadian UFC Fighter, Georges St Pierre is demonstrating the effective way to counter a jab. One of the key element in all counters is timing. Without the proper timing, the result will be either from telegraphing causing your opponent to reset attacks or simply just get knocked the $%#@ out! The best way to practice this counter is to possess a sense of body feel. The body feel will actually give you the alignment your body should move in a harmonious manner. Once this is done, elevate it by adding speed into the counter. Another great thing about this counter is the motion provided as if you was on the streets defending yourself. The momentum from the counter will make it more powerful due to the uncontrol force of the opponent. Perfect drill for semi and full contact fighters. osu!
Zhao Lei for GQ Taiwan
The retro thing has been constistent since the new millenium. The trends have been great, but come on seriously. GQ Taiwan , featuring Asian model, Zhao Lei, happened to theme this spread based on the male classical fashion items with a neo twist.
High fashion slim suits in khaki and blue along with casual wear with the pop of color. Notice the slight blue on the derby shoe's sole. Classics with a twist!
Old skool karate fights circa 1986
Another old skool open martial arts event. This video is actually almost older than me, but the energy of the fighters were so different opposed to now. Majority of the fighters were warriors.
Cheech Luzzi
Old school martial artist, Cheech Luzzi, representing Team Paul Mitchell. The weapon he performing with is the Eku. The eku is basically an oar which is primarily used for strictly rowing boats. However, the okinawans effectively used it on the beaches against the samurais/intruders. The paddle's length gave leverage to deliver sand or dirt into the opponent's eyes.
Due to its long range, the eku is great weapon to evade. This is the OLD days, we are talking about . Needless to say, the closest thing to an Eku (oar) today is rowing crew or you getting your @$$ whooped (I' m saying though).
Chanel Iman- The new face of DKNY "Be Delilcious"
Fragrance campaigns are perhaps popular or even more popular than fashion campaigns. There is one thing for certain, everyone is not fashionable. On the contrary, every wants/need to smell. DKNY has chosen, Chanel Iman as the new face of
"Be Delicious". What better woman could there have been to perfectly describe in an ad.
Sascha M'Baye for I-d Magazine
I think its very practical for fashion editorials to present sportswear. Sometimes we would like to be relax from our everyday attires. Take this spread for instance. Thomas Lhor chosen fashion model, Sascha M'Baye, for pre-spring 2011 edition of i-d magazine. Very easy going and relaxed setting.
Sammy Vasquez
Sammy V is in the building displaying extreme martial arts tricking and highly difficult nunchaku combinations. I have been knowing my homie Sammy Vasquez for a long time. This guy always raised the bar up with his skill by keeping the audience in the palm of his hand. This Orlando native has won numerous world champions in several continents and featured in commercials and music videos. stupid coo dude
The martial element with Marco Johnson
The B'More native and world champion martial artist, Marco Johnson, has given us his own favor fusing hip hip and martial arts (wu shu). Pretty dope stuff!
