In light of recent news about an alleged child abuse situation — which has hit much too close to home for me as the mother of a special needs child who attends school in the same district where this teacher was employed — I want to take time to urge all parents to become educated on the signs of child abuse, whether physical, emotional, or sexual.
This post isn't intended to make you paranoid and I don't want you to think that every bruise you see on your child is being caused by abuse. But I do want to urge you to be aware, to get involved in your child's academic and social community, and finally, to not ignore that gut feeling that something may be amiss with your child, should you ever experience it.
Trust your intuition; it's there for a reason.
The following, provided by the Orange County Child Abuse Prevention Center, are signs to look out for that may indicate your son or daughter could be a victim of abuse:
- Unexplained injuries. Visible signs of physical abuse may include unexplained burns or bruises in the shape of objects. You may also hear unconvincing explanations of a child's injuries.
- Changes in behavior. Abuse can lead to many changes in a child's behavior. Abused children often appear scared, anxious, depressed, withdrawn or more aggressive.
- Returning to earlier behaviors. Abused children may display behaviors shown at earlier ages, such as thumb-sucking, bed-wetting, fear of the dark or strangers. For some children, even loss of acquired language or memory problems may be an issue.
- Changes in eating. The stress, fear and anxiety caused by abuse can lead to changes in a child's eating behaviors, which may result in weight gain or weight loss.
- Changes in sleeping. Abused children may have frequent nightmares or have difficulty falling asleep, and as a result may appear tired or fatigued.
- Changes in school performance and attendance. Abused children may have difficulty concentrating in school or have excessive absences, sometimes due to adults trying to hide the children's injuries from authorities.
- Lack of personal care or hygiene. Abused and neglected children may appear uncared for. They may present as consistently dirty and have severe body odor, or they may lack sufficient clothing for the weather.
- Risk-taking behaviors. Young people who are being abused may engage in high-risk activities such as using drugs or alcohol or carrying a weapon.
- Inappropriate sexual behaviors. Children who have been sexually abused may exhibit overly sexualized behavior or use explicit sexual language

If you didn't select OFED InfiniBand Support during installation, you can install it by typing:
yum groupinstall "OFED Infiniband Support" [ENTER]Basic Setup
You will need to enable InfiniBand and OpenSM to start at boot time by running the following commands:
chkconfig openibd on [ENTER]Next, start the services:
chkconfig opensmd on [ENTER]
service openibd start [ENTER]Configuring IPoIB
service opensmd start [ENTER]
Then you can use system-config-network-tui to configure the ib0 network interface: this behaves exactly like a normal ethernet interface.
Congratulations, you have configured IPoIB. You are able to use all normal network tools over your new network. If you encounter problems, the ibstatus command will provide diagnostic information about the InfiniBand network.
Using OpenMPI over InfiniBand
Using OpenMPI with Infiniband is very simple. All that is required is add the flags "--mca btl openib,self" to your mpirun command.

How does watching football on Sunday translate into to-do's for Monday? More than 100 million people watched the Super Bowl on Feb 3rd, they were expecting a great game and some good entertainment. What they got was almost a disaster for CBS. In the recovery planning business, we are always trying to minimize the likelihood of an incident becoming a disaster. CBS did an excellent job of this on Sunday.
When the power went out in half of the Superdome and the game was stopped unexpectedly, CBS did a good job of keeping people entertained for the 34-minute delay. While they likely didn't plan for the lights going out in half of the building, they did have a contingency plan for the power going out and as a result were able to keep most fans watching the commercials and the announcers. The numbers aren't available yet, but they might have sold more commercials because of the extra prime-time viewership the "abnormality" created.

Federal Appeals Court Upholds Pakistani Scientist's Attempted-Murder ConvictionThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has upheld the conviction of a Pakistani-born, U.S.-educated neuroscientist for attempting to murder her American interrogators in Afghanistan. Aafia Siddiqui's 2010 trial was preceded by an extended inquiry into her competence to face the charges amid her bizarre behavior and outbursts during pretrial hearings.2012-11-08 12:00:00 AM The conviction of a Pakistani-born, U.S.-educated neuroscientist for attempting to murder her American interrogators in Afghanistan was upheld Monday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Aafia Siddiqui, 40, was convicted in 2010 of the July 18, 2008, attempted murder of U.S. nationals and several other crimes after she picked up an M-4 rifle and fired at Americans who had come to question her following her arrest by Afghan police on suspicion of attempting to attack the governor of Ghazni City, Afghanistan. Witnesses at her trial said Saddiqui emerged from behind a curtain in a room filled with U.S. military, FBI agents and Afghan personnel and fired the weapon before being shot in the stomach and subdued. One witness reported that she shouted, "I am going to kill all you Americans. You are going to die by my blood." Siddiqui's trial before Judge Richard Berman was preceded by an extended inquiry into her competence to face the charges amid her bizarre behavior and outbursts during pretrial hearings. Siddiqui, against the advice of her counsel that was paid for in part by the government of Pakistan, took the witness stand to testify that she never picked up or fired the weapon. Berman sentenced Siddiqui in 2010 to 86 years in prison, a sentence that set off protests in Pakistan. Her appeal made several challenges to the judge's rulings in the case, including Berman's decision to allow admission of documents found in her possession when she was taken into custody in Ghazni City on July 17, 2008. The documents included details on how to produce explosives, made reference to a "mass casualty attack" and listed what prosecutors argued was a list of likely terror targets, including the Empire State Building and Brooklyn Bridge. Judges Richard Wesley, Susan Carney and Eastern District of New York Judge Roslynn Mauskopf, sitting by designation, heard oral arguments in United States v. Siddiqui, 10-3916-cr, on February 10. Wesley wrote the panel's opinion, turning aside objections to Berman's rulings and Siddiqui's sentence. The panel first easily rejected Siddiqui's argument that several of the statutes under which she was convicted do not apply "in an active theatre of war." "It would be incongruous to conclude that statutes aimed at protecting United States officers and employees do not apply in areas of conflict where large numbers of officers and employees operate," Wesley said. The panel then held that Berman's admission of the documents found on Siddiqui complied with Federal Rule of Evidence 404(b), which states that evidence of prior crimes, wrongs or other bad acts cannot be used to show a defendant is a bad person or had the propensity to commit the crime. Siddiqui claimed her defense, that she never fired the M-4, eliminated the issue of intent from the case and thus the relevance of the documents. "But even assuming that Siddiqui's defense theory effectively removed any issue of her intent or knowledge, the documentary evidence remained relevant to demonstrate Siddiqui's motive," Wesley said, and the issue of motive remains important. Motive, he said, "an explanation of why the defendant would engage in the charged conduct, becomes highly relevant when the defendant argues that he did not commit the crime." And, in any event, even if there had been error, it was harmless, Wesley said, for, "Even without the evidence, the government's case against Siddiqui can only be fairly characterized as devastating." Another basis for the appeal was Berman's decision to allow Siddiqui to testify despite her counsel's attempt to keep her off the stand based on mental illness. "We question whether the Constitution permits a finding that a criminal defendant is competent to stand trial, yet incompetent to determine whether to testify on her own behalf," Wesley said. But that was not a question the panel need answer, he said, because "the district court went to extraordinary lengths to ensure that Siddiqui understood the implications of testifying and had the capacity to testify." The panel went on to hold that incriminating, un-Mirandized statements Siddiqui made to FBI agents while hospitalized at Bagram Airfield were properly admitted into evidence. Siddiqui also challenged Berman's decision to apply both the official victim and the terrorism enhancements in the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. The former applies where victims are selected based on their status as government employees and the latter applies for acts "calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion, or to retaliate against government conduct." On the terrorism enhancement, Siddiqui argued the use of the word "calculated" implies an element of long-term planning. The panel disagreed, saying "calculated" is the equivalent of "intentional" and the enhancement "is applicable where a defendant acts according to a plan, whether developed over a long period of time or developed in a span of seconds." Dawn Cardi argued for Siddiqui. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jenna Dabbs argued for the government. |

The Thinking of You image is one of my faves and I made a card last weekend. Little racoon and squirrel got post. How cute are these two? I really had to think about how to color a racoon but then decided to take brown for it. Squirrels here in Germany are red/brown.
First I had my problems with this layout. In the end I decided that I dont need a sentiment but a lot of flowers, spacers, brads and a ribbon. The pattern paper is Basic Greys Bittersweet (6×6″) and the cardstock is Bazzill. My friend Michelle bought some EK Success punches for me and the Fleur de Lis is one of them. Even if you wont see much of it on my card anymore I think it was the right punch for my card. The photo corners are QuicKutz.
I did some faux-stitching to decorate the edge of the image. Matching to the pink flower with inked egdes I inked up the edges from the scalloped round Spellbinder.

Oh. Well, yes, that works too.
So what process did you use to aromatize the rye? Just put them in the same sealed container, but not touching? I assume if you mixed them, you'd end up with some very salty rye...
i redistilled the two while at my weekend home in new zealand.

"There are around 10 million televisions being sold each year in the UK - and that's in a country that has just 25 million households," says Jim Bottoms, Director and Co-Founder, Futuresource Consulting, "which means every home is going out and buying a TV every two and a half years."
The consumer tablet market reached a global total of nearly 19 million units shipped in Q1 2012, growing by 188% from the same period in 2011, according to the latest Tablet Tracking report from Futuresource Consulting.
Growth is fuelled primarily by the current low level of product penetration, Apple's annual product updates and marketing might, as well as the segment's continuing 'hot product' status which remains a key influencer on consumers' wallets.
The tablet's status as a booming product category is supported by an equally buoyant market for mobile content and apps, where innovation matches hardware. In 2012, Futuresource predictions show that 6.1 billion apps will be downloaded for tablets, representing $2.1bn retail value.
In Q1 2012, the market trade value was up 122% year-on-year and the US remained the largest market, with consumer penetration reaching 23% in the US this year, approaching saturation point before other global markets. In Q1 2012 China became the second largest and the fastest growing tablet market, with its growth rate exceeding 380% year-on-year. However, population penetration is expected to reach only 1% in 2012, therefore representing enormous potential for continued growth.
Looking to Android-based tablets, the devices have so far seen some limited success, accounting for 33% of worldwide tablet shipments in 2011, and most of them have been able to compete in the consumer space mainly based on low average selling price.
The arrival of tablets based on the Windows 8 platform in Q4 2012 is expected to contribute to market growth from 2013 onwards, particularly within the corporate sector. However, the potentially high price of these devices may hinder their adoption within the consumer market.
Looking to the immediate future, the emergence of major sporting events in 2012 is fuelling a rise in the uptake of tablets, as consumers demand connection while away from home to view TV content or keep on track of results. The associated size and features of the tablet mean that consumers can enjoy a higher quality viewing experience in comparison to that of a smartphone.
Long-term prospects for the tablet industry are positive with strong growth throughout the forecast period, driven by a widening array of mobile content for tablets including apps, and from 2015, multiple ownership per household will also drive market growth.

Senate votes to set rules for indoor trampoline courtsBy Associated Press
LANSING — Michigan lawmakers have voted to put in place rules for indoor trampoline parks. Legislation approved 25-12 today in the Republican-led state Senate would specify requirements to be followed by trampoline court operators and customers. Trampoliners would have to maintain reasonable control of their body, avoid contact with others, not run and refrain from acting in a way that could injure others. Supporters say the bill would prevent people from breaking the rules and then suing because of injuries. Democrats voted against the bill, saying it would offer operators too much protection against lawsuits. Both Sky Zone Indoor Trampoline Park and Air Time Trampoline and Game Park have several locations now open or planned in Metro Detroit. (See related story from Crain's Detroit Business: "Padded sells: Trampoline parks, bounce houses multiply as economy catches air". )Topics in this article:

Hidden Pond Nature Center
Acres of undisturbed woodland, quiet trails, splashing streams and a tranquil pond are just a few of the reasons to visit Hidden Pond Nature Center. Tucked away in Springfield, Hidden Pond is a neighborhood haven filled with wondrous things. Hidden Pond, at 25 acres, lies adjacent to the much larger Pohick Stream Valley Park which boasts over 700 acres. A new 2000-foot trail and bridge has connected the two parks, so that many more neighbors and guests can visit the Hidden Pond Nature Center as well as the pond, streams, wetlands, woods and other quiet places that these preserves have to offer.

The nature center, which is accessible to everyone, features exhibits and live displays which orient you to the park and the natural world of Fairfax County. In addition, the center has a small sales area featuring books and other items for the nature enthusiast and nature study areas for group visitors. Complementing the nature center are stream side and woodland walking trails, a self-guided nature trail and a one-acre pond. The park also features lighted tennis courts and a children's play area.
The nature center staff offers programs for school, youth and scout groups, community organizations and the general public. Activities include guided walks, field trips, workshops, demonstrations and special request programs by reservation on a variety of topics.
Changes at Hidden Pond
If you haven't been to Hidden Pond Nature Center recently, you may be surprised by what you see. There are major changes to the center's entrance. When the center was built in 1978, two misjudgments were made that needed correction. An undersized trail to the front door quickly proved inadequate for the number of visitors at the center, and two white pine trees were planted in front of the building.
It became apparent that a paved staging area was necessary due to heavy visitor traffic that trampled the turf, compacted the soil and made turf maintenance in the area impossible. The white pines were a bad idea in Northern Virginia's climate, where they quickly grow and then die young, requiring removal before they fall on something important.
So, the pines have been removed, which was inevitable, as has a large red maple that had extensive storm damage. A small, attractive courtyard with a seating wall has been installed, and the landscape is being restored with more appropriate trees and shrubs. The patio is constructed with an environmentally-friendly porous pavement that absorbs water into the soil to prevent runoff. A one and a-quarter inch rainfall hit the nature center three days after the courtyard was completed, and it worked perfectly.
Drop by Hidden Pond, see the new look, then head inside the building or out to the woods to see the natural joys this park provides and protects in the middle of Springfield.

By David Espo The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Racing the clock, the White House reached a New Year's Eve accord with Senate Republicans late Monday to block across-the-board tax increases and spending cuts in government programs due to take effect at midnight, according to administration and Senate Democratic officials.
Under the deal, taxes would remain steady for the middle class and rise at incomes over $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples - levels higher than President Obama had campaigned for in his successful drive for a second term in office.
Spending cuts aimed at the Pentagon and domestic programs would be deferred for two months. That would allow the White House and lawmakers time to regroup before plunging very quickly into a new round of budget brinkmanship certain to revolve around Republican calls to rein in the cost of Medicare and other government benefit programs.
Officials also decided at the last minute to use the measure to prevent a $900 pay raise for lawmakers due to take effect this spring.
Democratic officials said that barring opposition from majority Democrats, a late-night Senate vote was possible on the deal, which was brokered by Vice President Joseph Biden and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. There was no vote as of midnight.
Passage would send the measure to the House, where Speaker John Boehner of Ohio refrained from endorsing a package as yet unseen by his famously rebellious rank-and-file.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California issued a statement saying that when legislation clears the Senate, "I will present it to the House Democratic caucus."
Without legislation, economists in and out of government warned of a possible recession if the economy were allowed to fall over a fiscal cliff of tax increases and spending cuts.
And while the deadline to act was technically midnight, Obama's signature on legislation by the time a new Congress takes office at noon Thursday - the likely timetable - would eliminate or minimize any inconvenience for taxpayers.
Even by the dysfunctional standards of government-by-gridlock, the activity at both ends of historic Pennsylvania Avenue was remarkable as the administration and lawmakers spent the final hours of 2012 haggling over long-festering differences.
"One thing we can count on with respect to this Congress is that if there's even one second left before you have to do what you're supposed to do, they will use that last second," the president said in a mid-afternoon status update on the talks.
As darkness fell on the last day of the year, Obama, Biden and their aides were at work in the White House, and lights burned in the House and Senate. Democrats complained that Obama had given away too much in agreeing to limit tax increases to incomes over $450,000, far above the $250,000 level he campaigned on. Yet some Republicans recoiled at the prospect of raising taxes at all.
A late dispute over the estate tax produced allegations of bad faith from all sides.
After hours of haggling, Biden headed for the Capitol to brief the Democratic rank and file.
Earlier, McConnell had agreed with Obama that an overall deal was near. In remarks on the Senate floor, he suggested Congress move quickly to pass tax legislation and "continue to work on finding smarter ways to cut spending" next year.
The White House and Democrats initially declined the offer, preferring to prevent the cuts from kicking in at the Pentagon and domestic agencies alike. A two-month compromise resulted.

Order Next Day on full-size orders by 11:59 p.m. ET 12/22 for 12/24 delivery Details
Love this root spray. My hair stylist recommended this product for me because I wanted more volume for my long hair but was scared of going nuts with a hair spray. You just spray this onto your roots before you blowdry your hair and then wait for the va-va-voom to arrive. Pretty awesome and you don't use much each time so this product will last.
This root boost spray provides nice volume to my hair. It's not too sticky. The down side is I discovered since purchasing through Birchbox that I can buy this at Walmart for less money.
This is a wonderful spray foam root boost. It goes on very nice. Gives my hair great boost without being heavy. Lasts for several days, doesn't gunk up when later using a dry shampoo. Wonderful product.
I have very fine hair, and I have used many "voluminous" products. I really do like the lift that this gives. Catwalk is easy to apply right before you blow dry and definitely is the most boost my hair has been given.
Got a sample of these in my February 2013 box. I might be buying the product in the future - it really does a nice job.
I just cut my hair and need a bit my volume since I don't have length as an impact anymore. This helps without being too heavy. It doesn't leave a gross, dirty feeling in your hair like others.
This is my favorite root boost spray. I had always used mousse, without much benefit. This has a great smell and works awesome on my fine hair! I would recommend this product. I have always had to drive to the mall, about 45 minutes away, to get this root boost. So excited that Birchbox carries it!
I've always used "big sexy hair" volumizing spray, but I'm glad I had the chance to try this one because I absolutely love it! My hair tends to be pretty flat, but using this mousse completely transformed it.
I LOVE this stuff! Not only does it give me some lift on my thin and fine hair but gives me some texture which I'm lacking. Might not be great if your hair already has texture but I can tell a huge difference when I don't use it. Spray it at the roots a few places and then blow dry!
Easy to get great body without all the super stiffness of a typical hairspray. Fun product to play with for thin hair

How do I get my hands on a copy of the latest Robot Object Model API? My excel VBA addin developed for ARSA 2010 is not finding an open version of ARSA 2012.
And can someone give me a list of changes between the two object modeslI so i don't need to find the errors in my code one at a time during execution?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Look at this thread
Rafal thanks.
I did what the thread suggested, unregistered both versions, reregistered 2012. The Robot Object Model 2012 is now available as a reference. However, now another error has occured:
Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't create object
I assume this error is now occuring due to changes in my computers registry. Any ideas?
Check this :
If it does not help please contact me by Private Message
Try also what is suggested in last post in this thread:
Hi Guys,
Just thought I'd close out this post. Adopting the solution provided in this post:
Resulted in "Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't create object" during execution of my VBA code.
The reason for this error is most probably changes to the registry.
The only way my IT department and I managed to fix this error was to unistall and reinstall MS Office. Its just a little worrying that following the provided solution would impact on other installed software.
Hi Guys,
I'm reopening this post. "Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't create object" during execution of my VBA code, has not been resolved.
The reason for this error is most probably changes to the registry.
I've tried many methods to fix the registry and have reinstalled MS Office.
Please advise.
Try this:
open VBA macro, go to references and uncheck Robot Object MOdeler reference, confirm closing.
Run macro, errors will be reported, stop macro
go to references and add Robot Object MOdeler reference,
run macro.
If problem persists, run macro in debug mode (line by line) and make screen capture of line on which the problem occurs.
Hi Rafal,
Why would tuning the reference off and on solve the problem?
I've attached print screens.
If I hover over the command: "Robot.Project.IsActive" the floating information says <ActiveX component can't create object>. I can't capture this with a print screen.
Please advise.
Set Robot = CreateObject("Robot.Application")
Set Robot = new RobotApplication
and report what happens

CONGRATULATIONS! JEANNE, I HAVE SELECTED YOUR WORK TO FEATURE AT THIS WEEK'S "PEOPLE'S CHOICE LOUNGE" ! YOU ARE INVITED TO POST YOUR ARTWORK AT THE LOUNGE-LINK BELOW, AND THEN TO "PAY-IT-FORWARD" & MAKE YOUR OWN SELECTION FROM ALL BC ARTWORK & NOTIFY THE ARTIST BY POSTING THIS NOTICE TO YOUR SELECTION. http://groups.bluecanvas.com/BLUE/forum/post/2913
thanks for all the nice comments. Glad you liked some of my work.
Thanks for your comments on my work. I'm using a graphics tablet and virtual brushes, etc for my digital paintings. The stylus allows subtle, pressure sensitive control, making digital painting feel as "hands on" as painitng with acrylics. I began this piece with an all over dark texture and created the face with lightening, cloning, erasing, and painting virtual tools -- similar to mezzotint printmaking, pulling an image from a "dark field".

Review: The Companion to Shaker of the Speare
User Review - Cathy - GoodreadsI had this book recommended to me by a friend, while I was in the library & took it home, expecting it to be deathly boring. On the contrary I found it fascinating. This is well worth reading even if, like me, you have little interest in British history. A fascinating story! Read full review

The weatherman saidit was supposed to be overcast and cool the day I went to visit Olafur Eliasson's "Meant to be lived in" — a site-specific suite of light sculptures in a private home in Pasadena — but as I wound down Linda Vista past the turnoff to Art Center and began winding my way up Inverness, I was already beginning to feel woozy from the remorseless solar radiation and absence of air conditioning. That turned out to be the perfect preparation for experiencing the work, especially since I didn't have any weed.
Danish-born jet-setter Eliasson — who first came to local attention by cutting a hole in Marc Foxx's roof in 1999 and last year became an art star with his luminous, Turneresque transformation of the Tate Modern in London — has, under the auspices of Milanese gallerist Emi Fontana, compiled a mind-altering Light & Space fun house out of 10 separate works that focus, block, bend, reflect and fracture the photons into a smorgasbord of shadows and rainbows.
The funniest conceptual aspect of Eliasson's installation is that, apart from a single 14-inch square window at the end of a long mirrored shaft, the entire space is hermetically sealed off from the hazy California sun — or any other hint of local color. The host building — a retro-modernist glass shoebox perched on a hillside — has been completely refitted with windowless lightproof walls and black foam floor pads. The initial effect is a kind of environmental decompression chamber, with an accompanying shift into a slightly dreamlike state of disorientation.
This altered state of consciousness doesn't let up as you pad softly through the cavelike air-conditioned space, pausing to stare at room after room of gently modulating refractions from intense halogen arc lights. The most impressive is To Day (2005), which fills two rooms with elaborate curvilinear geometric permutations made of intense white light, and Eye Ceiling (2005), whose cylindrical color filter produces both a wide range of visual effects as you move around it, and — as the title suggests — a distinctly eyeball-like projection on the ceiling above.
Several of the works are strongly reminiscent of the mostly Cali light abstractions still on view (through May 23) in MOCA's "Visual Music" show. This, along with Eliasson's obvious affinity with L.A.'s 1960's Light & Space movement — Irwin, Turrell, Bell, et al. — opens a different sort of window onto the local terrain: a trans-historical engagement with Los Angeles' cultural landscape. Artworks that seem to be cut whole cloth from several decades past usually just get on my nerves, but the trippy dislocation of Eliasson's cool prismatic womb — so unexpected in a site-specific installation — plus the very deliberate conceptual glitches let you leave the slight taint of art-world solipsism outside and get your phenomenological groove on.
Temporary Services' 'Construction Site'Down the hill and across downtown, at the far end of the architectural-modification-as-art (not to mention socioeconomic) spectrum, a very different project was unfolding over a couple of weeks in Echo Park, as members of the Chicago-based radical art klatch Temporary Services realized the latest in a string of provocative Situationist-style actions that range from publishing plans and building prototypes of an array of prisoners' inventions (e.g., an electrical immersion heater cobbled together from toothbrushes and metal binder tabs) to curating a citywide exhibit of artist-modified sandwich boards. Aided and abetted by the even harder-core Biggest Fags Ever collective, TS commandeered a vacant lot near Sunset and Alvarado to construct a cultural shantytown from the bounty of perfectly good headboards, used carpeting, scrap lumber and slightly moist mattresses that clog the arteries of the City of Angels.
Organized as only the third project by upstart L.A. curatorial nonprofit group Outpost for Contemporary Art, the sub-bargain-basement residency was an open-ended negotiation about the creative use of public space and the social construction of art — both conceptually and literally. Conceptually speaking, the occupation (its title, "Construction Site," was woven into the chainlink fence with plastic bags) embodies an invitation to the surrounding community to engage in the definition of art as well as a challenge to the art world to accommodate that definition. And it worked. Along with the predictable stream of curious grad students and gallerists, local families, non-art hipsters, homeless people and spillover curiosity seekers from the nearby Echo Park Film Center, Edendale Library and 33 1/3 Bookstore found their way onto the lot — some even stayed, pitching in, donating materials or beer, returning regularly over the duration.
In literal terms, the social construction of art consisted of a beehive of activity resulting in several strange architectural forms — an archway of shopping carts framing a set of bleachers — all of it teetering over a two-man tent where the BFE collective resided; a giant cloth baseball filled with balloons perched atop a rickety guard tower from which local kids artistically hurled themselves onto a pile of perfectly good mattresses; a patchwork chute made from dozens of cast-off pieces of furniture that carried a bowling ball the entire length of the lot.
As the site's physical dimensions took shape, its function as a social hub began picking up steam, with daily potluck dinners, book giveaways (TS regularly publishes books and pamphlets, including Public Phenomena: Informal Modifications of Shared Spaces, in conjunction with this event), workshops on urban nocturnal produce foraging, campfire lectures by the L.A. Urban Rangers and a DJ set by Sergio Zenteno. One high point was when the afore-mentioned baseball was dislodged from its moorings and rolled down Sunset into Echo Park park where successive maulings by local children gutted it of its constituent balloons, which were then systematically pop-stomped into the playground dust.

Chocolate-Covered Chipotle Chicken Feet, a Valentine Treat
- February 7th, 2013
Romance is in the air, I can feel it in my bones. My chocolate-covered chicken bones. It all started last week when I had houseguests on the way and nary a homemade confection to nestle upon their pillows during turndown service. One half of the visiting couple is particularly stringent about his food being unprocessed, thus something from (chicken) scratch was in order.
I thought about chocolate-covered strawberries, but after a day of travel, when I hit the pillow, I'm looking for a little more excitement. I opened the refrigerator to gain inspiration, and the package of chicken feet I had slated for stock sat front and center. I contemplated the diaphanous digits, and suddenly one of them curled inward, beckoning me to come hither.
As any logician would do at that moment, I came up with what you see here: chocolate-covered chipotle chicken feet. This classic dish walks the line of tradition and modernism with the sure feet of a ballerina. Or it would if it was alive. My timing couldn't be better, since this is a natural play-it-safe choice for Valentine's Day dessert. Imagine gazing deeply into your lover's eyes, while both of you suck hungrily on sinew, gristle, and chocolate. There is no greater aphrodisiac.
These chicken feet double as nipple pasties, lest you be inclined to greet your sweetheart with a tantalizing tongueful of edible lingerie. And if you're planning to pop the question anytime soon, know that popping champagne is so last year compared to popping chocolate-drenched knuckles into your mouths to celebrate.

Sorry about that... Noble Rhythm is up now...
Pushing 50 and still rockin' like a teen, only now I can afford it and it takes longer to recover.
Thank you, Sayburr for alphabetizing the list. That was a good suggestion, Noble Rhythm!
Just got back from being out of town this weekend and haven't had a chance to complete our website just yet, but do please add us to the list as well. www.notesferatu.com Our message about us is listed in a previous post. Thank you for creating this list for us all!!
Rock on!
<3 Amy
I agree that alphabetizing was a great choice, and now perhaps the following line in your intro in the first post isn't necessary, or can reflect that it is alphabetical now:
"The order in which they are seen is in no way indicative of a ranking as to which group is preferred or better qualified."
Just a thought

Also, "companies" doesn't really need to be in quotes. Makes me think of "this site".
Hey Sayburr, can you add Gamer Beats to the now-alphabetized OP as well? See post #56.
Thank you sir.
STEP ONE- Send us your music,along with lyric sheets [noting the tracks you see working well in game format] along with any promo info you have, original artwork, live concert footage, band pics,and anything else that would help HPC create the best possible game for the RBN.
STEP TWO- After we come to an agreement and choose what song/songs we agree would work best in a game format, just get us all the seperate tracks aka (stems) we need to create aka (author) your best possible sounding and working game.
STEP THREE- Once we feel satisfied with all aspects of the game, we send the game out to be evaluated and checked for content, playability and anything we may have missed that could stop the game from sale on the RBN. At that point we would be told what to tweek and repeat step three untill the game is accepted
STEP FOUR- Sit back as millions have an opportunity to pay to play your music at home on Xbox or PS3 just like Aerosmith, Metallica,The Beatles, and so many more .
Note- All material music and pictures must be your property including publishing rights.
YAY!! Our website is up and better than before! Come check us out and please add us to the initial post!
Thanks guys!

Wale in Nike Air Foamposite One "Silver/Lime"
October 28th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 9 comments
It seems like no pair of Foamposites is officially on the release calender till MMG rapper Wale procures them through whatever early-sneaker channels he's got access to. This time around he was spotted in the silver/lime Nike Air Foamposite One that's on the horizon, a pair that does do the graphic thing like so many other recent Foamposites, but also manages to do it subtly unlike so many others. See Wale on stage with this upcoming release after the click and then feel free to comment, as some always do, one the inevitably of this celeb sighting possibly effecting the impact of this particular colorway.

Accepted Offer
Negative Experience
Very Easy Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at New York Life in January 2013.
Interview Details – Kind of a joke. They are trying to sell you harder than you are trying to sell them. Base pay is 0 and will always be 0 at this position. They will hire nearly anyone with a college degree without a criminal record. The hiring process is just to throw stuff at the wall and see who sticks. Nearly 95% year 1 industry turnover and 80% within NYL.
Interview Question – How well do you handle rejection? Answer Question

Very Easy Interview
I applied through other source and the process took 5 weeks - interviewed at New York Life in February 2013.
Interview Details – Your resume is reviewed electronically and you are then provided an initial meeting. The interview process is a bit involved. You meet four times and are provided with the training information if hired.
Interview Question – Nothing out of the ordinary Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I am interested in a financial advisor position, not interested in sales.

Negative Experience
I applied through other source and interviewed at New York Life.
Interview Details – I received a call from a gentleman who was wary to tell me too many details over the phone, he just wanted me to take my time to meet with them to see if I'd be "selected" to fill out an application. It was very shady since he was just trying to evade providing details but wanted me to think I was "selected" for a possible application. He mentioned some license that was required and later stated that I'd have to pay for it and I'd be "refunded". I decided to not go for the "interview" and he was a bit rude saying "Its ok, I guess you don't really get it". Well I did get it, but I am not interested in this line of work. Maybe next time instead of ending the conversation on a rude note, it would be great if your cold caller can understand that a person is not interested in that line of work to begin with.
Interview Question – Apparently the difficulty was in it for the caller when I asked what the position was about and the licenses required for the position. He was hesitant to provide details, after all, he was calling me then stating that I'd have to go in for the "interview" to THEN apply for the job IF I was selected. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I posted my resume online but my credentials have nothing to do with their position available and also it is not a career I would enjoy for myself.

Easy Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 4 weeks - interviewed at New York Life in June 2013.
Interview Details –
I was contacted after meeting a recruiter at a job fair and called in for an interview within days. The first interview was not so much an interview as a briefing on what the company is about. The hiring manager talked as if I was already a certain hire. He went over what the position entailed, compensation and handed me some forms to fill out for the second interview. The entire process didn't take longer than 30 minutes.
The second interview was the basic personal questions about weaknesses, strengths, teamwork etc.
Interview Question – There were no difficult questions. It was standard interview fare that you could google up in preparation for an interview. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I accepted a better offer in a different field.

Neutral Experience
Easy Interview
I applied in-person and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at New York Life in July 2013.
Interview Details – Super long interview process. I had 4 meetings over a month before an offer was made. There weren't really any difficult questions - all pretty standard. I wasn't nervous or surprised by anything. My interviewer was a super nice guy that I really liked and would have been a strong factor if I had chosen to work there.
Reason for Declining – The compensation is all incentive based. There was a lot of earning potential but you don't have a single dollar before you make NYL money. It wasn't right for me but may be a good opportunity for someone else.
Declined Offer
Neutral Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at New York Life in May 2013.
Interview Details – First "interview" is really just meeting the recruiter and time to ask questions you have. Then you are set up with "info sessions," one at a time, (there are 3) before the real interview with the person making hiring decisions. Really makes you think about whether or not you want to be selling for them. They are seemingly transparent about all of their work and success so it seems like a good gig, if thats the industry you want to be in.
Interview Question – Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Answer Question
No Offer

Difficult Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at New York Life in April 2013.
Interview Details – long interview process, very detailed.

Neutral Experience
I applied through college or university and interviewed at New York Life.
Interview Details – Four Interviews total. Interview one seemed like they were trying to sell you on the company. Interview two was a compensation interview. Interview three was a training interview. Interview four was the acceptance interview.
Interview Question – I asked the questions. They barely asked me any. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – Pay is performance based and I did not feel comfortable with the current staff at the office.
Declined Offer
Neutral Experience
I applied through college or university and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at New York Life.
Interview Details – It was more of a sales pitch then anything else. They tell you what you're going to be doing and why its such a great job, the truth is there are 5 other companies within 10 miles that will hire you to do the exact same thing. These jobs are 100% commission based and cost the company almost nothing to hire you on. The interview was pretty laid back though, nice people. If I was interested in selling investment plans and life insurance, Id work there.
Interview Question – If I asked your best friend 5 characteristics that describe you, what would they be? Answer Question
Reason for Declining – Not interested in 100% commission job
Accepted Offer
Neutral Experience
Interviewed at New York Life
Interview Details – The initial interview was with the Managing Partner, and the Human Resources Manager. It was essentially a "get to know you" interview, in which I assume they were simply determining whether or not my personality was a good fit for the company. They gave me a Personality Test to complete, as well as a list of questions regarding my life goals to answer and bring back upon my second interview.
Interview Question – What are my goals over the next 3-5 years, both financially and personally? Answer Question
