Buzzing to be bringing VANT to the North East for three shows in the coming months:
Fickle Friends
I think I must've listened to Fickle Friends on Soundcloud more than any other band over the past 12 months, which makes me pretty chuffed to be announcing this:

Middlesbrough Live
Middlesbrough Live is a day of comedy, music and live performance in Middlesbrough town centre, co-ordinated and funded by Middlesbrough Council on Saturday 27th September. I'm pleased to be "curating" (for want of a less pretentious term!) a stage in Middlesbrough Reference Library – which is an amazing building. I'm absolutely buzzing with the acts I've secured for it, so I hope to see a few of you fine folks there…

14 Music Tips For 2014
Some tips for 2014 – including some familiar faces from local gigs this year.
Originally posted on henrycarden.co.uk:
As December approaches, tastemakers across the globe will be assembling their hot tips for the next 12 months. The BBC's "Sound Of" is probably the most high profile prediction platform and always seem to be a pretty good gauge, but given that it provides so much exposure to the featured acts, it's arguably become a self fulfilling prophecy.
There's some amazing emerging talent around who I have high hopes for in 2014. Some of my tips are fairly well established and in the case of Foxes, already had chart success this year. Although a lot of them have penned major label deals, none of them have released their debut albums yet (as far as I know!), so in the grand scheme of things, they're still pretty new.
Anyway, have a read through and let me know what you reckon. Any names I'm missing? Any hot tips you've got…

Kadožüké Kollektif Plus
User Stats
Profile Images
User Bio
The Kadožüké Kollektif is a Toronto-based theatre company that develops and produces large-scale experimental work rooted in classical themes. Our projects combine originally developed text and choreography with the elements of art and video installation. The company works year round and was created in 2004 by director/choreographer Tatiana Jennings.
Kadožüké Kollektif takes its name from the ancient Japanese tradition of "players at the gate". As performers were not allowed to enter the premises, they staged their art at the periphery, in-between two worlds. In this, players were also able to attract a spontaneous audience, catching the attention of passers-by who would stop and lose themselves in the hypnotic rhythm of the performance. Our intent, like that of our Kadozuke forebears is to create an artistic interlude, a place in-between two worlds where the individual can pause to contemplate the wonder of time slowed and is set free to invoke personal imagery and memories.

Baratza Encore
- Description
- Specs
- Reviews
- Blog Posts
When God created Heaven and Earth he did some amazing things, including creating coffee.
Unfortunately, he rested on the seventh day, when he should have been working on a reasonably priced, high quality burr grinder for the home. Being the helpful chaps that they are, Baratza decided to pick up the slack, and they have done just that.
The brand new Baratza Encore Grinder launched during the third week of March 2012, and sold out in less than two days - showing just how special it is.
This is a fantastic entry level grinder, which stands alone in value and quality and is an essential item for every home coffee drinker.
Bless you Baratza, Bless you.
This model replaces the Maestro Plus; but has been touched with the following improvements:
- New burr now grinds consistently enough for espresso as well as manual brew methods
- New gearbox, significantly increasing the strength and durability of the drive transmission while decreasing noise. This means a quieter grinder that wears better and is more shock resistant
- Timer switch replaced with an on/off switch

A good buy but ... by firstname.lastname@example.com from Calgary on Jul 31, 2013
"I like the Encore. It works well for different types of coffee and tastes. The reason I gave this a 4-star is because there are ways to improve on the Encore for espresso users - but there was no instruction off the box on how to do this. However, that was a minor issue. I found out quite quickly how to recalibrate it to get a better espresso grind: http://www.squidoo.com/baratza-encore-grinder-review-let-s-spill-the-beans The bottom line is that I like it very much. A little over my initial budget but worth every bit of it!"

You and your wife may both have rights in this situation: You have the right to be reinstated, and she may have the right to take leave to prepare for your deployment.
Your right to reinstatement comes from the federal Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). Among other things, USERRA gives you the right to return to the job you would have held if you hadn't taken time off for military service. This means you are entitled to any raises, promotions, or other benefits you would have received if you were continually on the job. See Nolo's article Taking Military Leave for more information.
If your wife is eligible for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), she has the right to use this leave to handle "qualifying exigencies" arising from your active duty or call to active duty. Examples of qualifying exigencies are arranging child care and school activities, making legal and financial arrangements, attending family support programs, and dealing with issues arising from short-notice deployment. For more information, see Nolo's article Military Family Leave for Employees.

Another advantage of human embryonic stem cells is that they can be propagated indefinitely in lab cultures and provide an unlimited source of high quality mesenchymal stem cells the kind of stem cell needed for treatment of MS, the researchers say. This ability to reliably grow high quality mesenchymal stem cells from embryonic stem cells represents an advantage over adult bone marrow stem cells, which must be obtained from a limited supply of healthy donors and are of more variable quality.
"Groundbreaking research like this furthering opportunities for technology ventures demonstrates how the University acts as an economic engine for the state and regional economy," says Jeff Seemann, UConn's vice president for research.
The findings also offer potential therapy for other autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and type-1 diabetes, according to Xu, a corresponding author on the study and one of the few scientists in the world to have generated new human embryonic stem cell lines.
There is no cure for MS, a chronic neuroinflammatory disease in which the body's immune system eats away at the protective sheath called myelin that covers the nerves. Damage to myelin interferes with communication between the brain, spinal cord, and other areas of the body. Current MS treatments only offer pain relief, and slow the progression of the disease by suppressing inflammation.
"The beauty of this new type of mesenchymal stem cells is their remarkable higher efficacy in the MS model," says Wang, chief technology officer of ImStem.
The group's findings appear in the current online edition of Stem Cell Reports, the official journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research. ImStem is currently seeking FDA approval necessary to make this treatment available to patients.

NEPR to hold tree-planting fund drive for areas affected by June tornadoes
New England Public Radio (WFCR & WNNZ) will host an on-air fund drive to benefit areas in the Connecticut River Valley affected by the June tornadoes, Tropical Storm Irene, and the October snowstorm.
Root for Your Radio will be held Feb. 24 Mar. 3, and will be entirely funded by listener contributions. NEPR has partnered with various non-profit and volunteer organizations throughout the Connecticut River Valley, as well as the city of Springfield, to plant up to 2,600 trees in communities affected by recent weather events reaching from Connecticut to Vermont.
Cathy Ives, executive director of development and major gifts at NEPR, said the trees are to be planted later this spring in areas hardest hit by the three weather events, including western Mass. This is particularly relevant to communities hit by the June tornadoes like Monson and Brimfield, where downed trees still litter roadsides, and Springfield where the United States Department of Agriculture has estimated 13,000 trees were lost or damaged in the June storms alone.
The idea for the drive started within the radio station as a way to support a region devastated by the recent storms, according to Ives. NEPR is working directly with the Connecticut River Watershed Council to coordinate the volunteer-based planting of the trees. NEPR has reached out to tree gardens and nurseries, and non-profits to coordinate environmental efforts like determining what types of tree belong in specific regions.
In Springfield, larger shade trees will be planted, Ives said. Other areas will have seedlings planted based on flooding and erosion. Non-profits will be doing the planting, and volunteers will be needed later on in the process.
Ives said NEPRs ultimate goal is to help the local communities affected by the devastating weather events. And with help from all the other organizations involved, NEPR is hoping to give back to its listeners and help restore storm-ravaged western Mass. and the surrounding areas.
She describes NEPRs work with the following:
Theres an old proverb that goes Whens the best time to plant a tree? and the answer to that is 50 years ago. The second part of the proverb goes Whens the second best time to plant a tree? and the answer to that is today.

THE WHOLE WORLD...would love to see Kweli, Andre3000, BlackThought & PharoaheMonch do an album together... Em could do the intro & outro with Nas, JayElect, Common & JayZ narrating it. Plus, Cee-Lo, Yasiin, Drake & Lauryn could take turns murdering the hooks...& oh yeah, Mr. West could handle the production. That would be monumental for music!!! Yessir!!... An instant [Hip-Hop] classic! YA DIG--SHO NUFF!
love how his worst verse in a long time still sounds much better than 99 pct of rappers today including jay z
Thats funny. Even Jayz is your favorite rappers favorite!
Wiz Khalifa is straight Wack No Doubt Nas should stop making songs with these cats seriously(Rick Ross a fuck boy always)...
them niggas should have just dropped 8 bars and let nas handle the rest. it's a average verse for nas standards, but very quality for this era.
For fuck sake, will everyone stop recording with Officer Ricky??? I know everyone embellishes their rhymes a bit, but a CO talking about being a drug kingpin is too far. It's not like the walking sack of cholesterol is even popping anymore. FUCK OFF OFFICER RICKY!!
Why is everyone a critic on street credibility. like people are really mad hes not a murderer and drug king pin...heres a hint, most them arent.
I hope Nas charged these wack niggas 200k Because this is a stain on the champ.
This nigga wiz did his thing with the rollout! The first and remix were . Nas "been outside...still outside"...damn, he went it.
It is a different feeling from the original, but I like it. It's more relaxing, smoking, cruising track. Of course nas killed it, but they all went it. Wiz went it! Just listen...the vibe is cool; smoke while listening...
top ten best albums ever: in no order 1.illmatic - nas 2. ready to die - notorious big 3. Eminem - marshal mathers lp 4. jayz - reasonable doubt 5. rick ross - Teflon don 6. nas - it was written 7. tupac - all eyez on me 8. dmx - its dark and hell is hot 9. Kanye west - late registration 10. notorious big - life after death lost boyz - legal drug money, prodigy - hnic, bone thugs eternal 1999, nas stillmatic, 50 cent get rich or die tryin would be in my top too just cant fit
I would say it's Illmatic, Enter the Wu Tang, Liquid Swords, Paid in Full, It Takes a Nation of Millions, ATLiens, Cypress Hill (their debut album), OB4CL, AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted (since Ice Cube was always on point back then), and The Low End Theory. To say Rick Ross has dropped a legit classic is crazy. Sure, some of his stuff is alright, but come on.
Better than that trick trick song
Didn't like it at all. Rick Ross was the worse! His verse should went on the editing room flooor.
song is totally mediocre. n Nas did NOT go in on this, lol.
its not aggressive, but he still killed it. listen to what he says: how do i explain esco?
am i the only one rewinding Nas verse?
no your not the only bro
yeah I think ppl just see names and judge on that, he killed that shit
Nas saves it
all the energy from the original is lost. This remix is garbage.
Nas verse was straight. It was pretty weak. Matter fact this song is weak. Nas could of came harder on this track.
Didnt realize the original had energy or anything relevant for that matter. Wtf is going on in hip hop nas on this wow
tight, esp nas
Nas really shined hear... I could careless about the other verses here
Nas really shined here. I could care less about the other verses on this song.
fuck nas this commercial nigga doing a song with wack khalifa
Nas has even called himself "the most mainstream underground artist". He knows what he's doing.
Um, he did a song with Puff Daddy, Ginuwine, J-Lo too
wack son
this is trash
not even the GOAT could've saved this garbage Nas needs to learn to say no. When he talks bout the game being fucked up who else other than niggas like Wiz could he possibly be talkin bout?
nah, son, you need to learn about exposure, tribute, and shinin on niggas. think about that.
Lil wayne, cheif keef
Sick collab !
I fux wit it...Take Q an rick ross out though
Ehhhh subpar at best.... Nas verse was decent... Schoolboy Q was ehhh Rick Ross....bleh garbage... I didn't even listen to Wiz verse tbh....song was just boring really....
I'm baked af right now haha 10/10
Q, rozay, nas
the next big thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxQvCKcJIx0
I'm ok with this being the only time i ever hear this song. No replay.
Nothing will beat Life is Good. Not even illmatic. Illmatic is the instant classic and arguable #1 best rap album ever. But Life is Good is a art come to life, it's what the man who made Illamtic in his twenties became in his late thirties.
Both of yall gota be trolling. Illmatic is a classic but it was written is nas best album, and ive been sayin that since 96 not cuz shoolboy said it in an interview recently
fuck outta here. Mobb Deep's The Infamous shits all over Illmatic.
I enjoy the original version and Nas shows he's the reason why he's the GOAT.
Stop responding to trolls people.
Yo man I have to
Wiz, why you feature boring ass Nas on your song. Dude can't even write a decent rhyme anymore. I'll rather listen to Droog just to catch Illmatic flashbacks. Nas has lost all his lyrical energy. I'm not impressed.
Nas sucks Dick
Why you always getting him confused with yourself?
it irks the fuck outta me that rick ross is on here. this song would've been fire without him. But big ups to wiz for the remix. Definitely diggin it.
Verses from best to worse IMO 1. Nas - This should go without saying. He killed this shit, straight up. He briefly made this mediocre song sound amazing. 2. SchoolBoyQ - It wasn't garbage, but it wasn't anything spectacular either. It was aight, nothing like his verses on his A$AP collabs. Still, it saved my ears after listening to the nigga before him. 3. Wiz Khalifa - this is surprising due to how ass the hook is, but his verse wasn't that bad. It sound he tried to go back to his his Kush and OJ days a lil bit. I expected way worse, but it was ok. 4. Wiz Khalifa's shitty autotune hook 5. Officer Ricky - Like every song he's featured on, he spits some forgetabble ass filler verse and says a whole bunch of nothing like a BAWSE 3/5, cause Nas somewhat saved it
^^No need to feed the trolls. The real hip-hop heads know what's up.
As I said it should go without saying but anyway... He got the best verse because even though he's pretty much rapping about the same thing as the rest, it consists of elements that the others don't have; sharp wordplay and storytelling. Not as much as his usual song, but above the other three at least. Listen to how he starts out. "I never give a rat a pass it's the fattest ass that attracts me. How do I define nasty? Ghastly. Explain Esco. Plain and simple; with a red bone in a benzo sipping XO. From the Don to God's son, the project prophet, the live one." It's deep if you've listened to Nas from the beginning. He went from Nasty Nas to Esco to Escobar now he's Nastradaus. Then he put out God's son after that. The rest of the verse he's recapping his 20 year career. Its subtle pieces of dopeness like this that makes him the best rapper ever.
how was has verse the best explain?
I dont listen to anything with William Roberts on it on GP but did he say anything about Wing Stop or Trick Daddy running him out of Detroit? Or Chris Rock detroying him live in front of all his famous friends and hot bitches at the BET Awards?
what the fuck was that lazy flow, Nas? Wiz had the best verse?
Niggas can't even tell when people are putting up stuff to troll em'...lol
bunch of fake niggas making songz wit da police.
sorry Wiz but Jeezy up next, you can't compete.
Nas killed this. Q was tight too.
The only thing tight about q are his pants, same wit take a wiz khalifa
Who's Nas?
Whos wiz khalifa. Sounds like a african girls name, was she in that coming to america movie with eddie murphy?
Only listened for Nas and his verse was decent. rest were trash.
Nas kills it.
Okay I like this one. The original and Diddy's remix can die a slow death.
sometimes i wish nas would have died with big and pac cause all hes doing is shitting on his legacy with weak shit like dis.
"You act like Pac and Biggie wouldn't have been doing shit like this 20 years later. Trust me, if they didn't die you'd be calling them niggas sellouts too. " Thats why im saying I wish Nas died with them...
^ This
You act like Pac and Biggie wouldn't have been doing shit like this 20 years later. Trust me, if they didn't die you'd be calling them niggas sellouts too. Anyway Nas made this shit sound good, eat a dick.
Most ignorant shit that I have read in a long time. You need help.
Wiz called in the big boys for this one. Solid 4/5
Nas killed it.
I wish more remixes switched up the feel of the actual song, make adjustments to the beat, flow, everything, make it a different song.
Nas tho
This actually rides. The orginal version and the other remix are trash but i fucks with this and i dont even like ross or q. Nas kills it!

How to Send Money to Hong Kong or Transfer Money from Hong Kong
The Hong Kong dollar (HKD) is a freely-convertible currency and there are no controls on money transfers to Hong Kong or transferring funds out of Hong Kong. Since 1983, the HKD has been pegged to the US dollar (USD), a factor which has increased the HKD's profile as a safe currency for regional investors looking to avoid political, economic and regulatory volatility, particularly in Russia or China. The exchange rate is permitted to fluctuate along a narrow spectrum between HK$7.75 and HK$7.85 per US$1.More Info Less Info
Hong Kong dollar money transfer regulations
On Hong Kong exchange platforms, the HKD is mainly exchanged against the USD; exchanges between these two currencies reached an average daily value of US$47.3bn in April 2013, almost 95% of total trades involving HKD. The next two most frequent exchanges are with the euro (US$793m/day) and the Japanese yen (US$400m/day). Hong Kong was the fifth-largest foreign exchange platform in terms of daily trade volume in 2013, largely thanks to its proximity to China and open monetary policy.
Hong Kong's regulatory authority
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) acts as the territory's de-facto central bank under the authority of the Finance Secretary. It is responsible for setting monetary policy, monitoring the health of the financial system, and ensuring banks' compliance with local and international regulation. The HKMA also manages the currency's linked exchange rate system and monitors the Exchange Fund, Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserves.
Taxation and property issues
Given Hong Kong's position as an international financial centre, restrictions on companies and individuals, both foreign and domestic, are relatively light. Profits generated locally can be freely exchanged into other currencies and transferred abroad. The same corporate income tax rate, 16.5%, is applied to foreign- and locally-owned businesses. Unlike most countries, Hong Kong applies no taxes on capital gains or withholding taxes on dividends or royalties.
Hong Kong's economic background
Hong Kong has emerged as a major financial and economic centre, though with a complicated political environment. Hong Kong was made a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China in July 1997. In 2014, pro-democracy groups in Hong Kong, including the prominent Occupy Central party, have scaled up their push for greater autonomy in the selection of Hong Kong's leaders. China is pushing back with suggestions that future candidates be pre-screened by a nominating committee that would inevitably have loyalty to the mainland. The political situation will likely remain contested in the coming years, with the next election for Hong Kong's chief executive due in 2017.
Contrary to China, Hong Kong follows a free market system with limited government intervention in the financial sphere, and it remains open to foreign investment. There are no special restrictions, currency or otherwise, for the local incorporation of foreign-owned businesses, registration of branches of foreign operations, or the creation of representative offices.
The Hong Kong dollar is issued by the HKMA. Banknotes are printed in denominations of $10, $20, $50, $100 and $1,000. Coins are issued with values of $10, $5, $2, $1, as well as 10, 20 and 50 cents.

Lightning can hurt any facility. Have proper protection in place so you won't be shocked when it strikes.
Lightning can strike the same place twice, despite popular sentiment. Communications towers are prone to being hit during any major thunderstorm. If those towers are not properly equipped, lightning can cause millions of dollars in damage.
Check your electrical grounding systems and take a total systems approach when evaluating lightning protection, recommends David Brender, National Program Manager for the Copper Development Associations Electrical Program.
"A well-placed lightning strike can seriously compromise any facility, leaving lost equipment and damaged electronics in its wake," says Brender. "Lightning protection systems give buildings the best chance to avoid this unpredictable damage."
Lightning protection creates electrical paths of least resistance in order to direct strikes to the ground, away from where they can cause damage. The approach should involve metals with superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. Radials, plates, electrodes, conductors, and wiring are all integral to success.
Ensure you maintain facilities in accordance with current electrical codes, says Tom Sorley, former supervisor of radio services at Orange County's Public Safety Communications Division in Florida, where he oversaw nine tower sites and 10 emergency response centers in the county.
Grounding systems at Orange County's facilities complied with codes when they were built, but not all were designed by the same contractor, Sorley says, which eventually caused problems.
"No single individual or contractor understood grounding as a total system," adds Sorley. "Grounding and its maintenance were just something everyone took for granted. What we have now is a total systems approach to lightning protection."

Wordnik: All the Words. 20 Common Grammar Mistakes That (Almost) Everyone Makes. I've edited a monthly magazine for more than six years, and it's a job that's come with more frustration than reward.
If there's one thing I am grateful for — and it sure isn't the pay — it's that my work has allowed endless time to hone my craft to Louis Skolnick levels of grammar geekery. As someone who slings red ink for a living, let me tell you: grammar is an ultra-micro component in the larger picture; it lies somewhere in the final steps of the editing trail; and as such it's an overrated quasi-irrelevancy in the creative process, perpetuated into importance primarily by bitter nerds who accumulate tweed jackets and crippling inferiority complexes. But experience has also taught me that readers, for better or worse, will approach your work with a jaundiced eye and an itch to judge.

Narration, the process of presenting the narrative, occurs because of the narrative mode. It encompasses several overlapping areas, most importantly narrative point-of-view, which determines through whose perspective the story is viewed and narrative voice, which determines a set of consistent features regarding the way through which the story is communicated to the audience. Narrative mode is a literary element. The narrator may be either a fictive person devised by the author as a stand-alone entity, the author himself, and/or a character in the story.

"Dynamic mapping, multivariate visualization, flow mapping, outbreak signature forecasting, and large-scale simulations of infection spread are just a few of the tools being developed that might help us better detect the complexities of disease spread. These data analysis tools present huge data sets in such a way that researchers can better detect and interpret trends and anomalies," said Naumova.
"Additionally, we can gain further insight into an outbreak if auxiliary information related to the population is readily available. By including information about demographics, population migration and travel patterns, vaccination patterns, and large social gatherings, we can factor in the many contributors to an outbreak," said Fefferman.
According to the researchers, taking this auxiliary information into account will allow public health researchers to adjust their analyses by population, perhaps examining areas with limited vaccination coverage, or higher proportions of older adults, or heavy traffic from airports and tourism.
"Our hope is that improved disease surveillance tools will help us detect the unique signature of each outbreak, and as a result improve our ability to recognize the warning signs early and with greater accuracy," said Naumova.

For a person with vision loss, fighting off isolation and feeling like you have lost your independence can be some of the toughest challenges" Read more about WaterRower's involvement in this Veteran's rowing program at the following link. http://www.providence.va.gov/features/Tap_Tap_Row.asp

6x7 projectors are rare and expensive (Götschmann comes to my mind), but maybe not more expensive than a Hasselblad projector?
If you want to confine yourself to 6x6 than I would suggest one of the newer Rollei projectors (P66 series) with a GOOD lens (Schneider AV Xenotar, huge difference over the standard "Heidosmat" lens!). Stay away from the Rollei P11, as it is quite dim and takes bulbs that are difficult to source, IIRC. The Schneider Xenotar lenses are a bit rare but not impossible to get with a bit of patience. I don't worry too much about the future of slide film, I shoot color as long as it is available and then there will still be b&w slides.

Tell Me I'm Pretty
She giggled, sitting on the boy's lap, and whispered into his ear, "Tell me I'm pretty, won't you?"
He grinned and kissed her. "Brittany, you know what you are. You don't need me to tell you," he replied. She smiled, but it was fake. She just wanted someone to tell her. She knew it, and everyone said that she should know it, but nobody ever said it: "Brittany, you're pretty." It was all she wanted to hear.
"Oh, come on, please? I love you," she pouted. "You know I would say that you're very pretty if it wouldn't sound stupid, Justin." Brittany fluttered her lashes, but Justin just laughed and started talking to her friends. She sighed and put her head on his shoulder. Why didn't he say it? She just wanted to hear it once in her whole life.
"Justin," she said softly, "Can't you say it once?"
"I told you, Brit, you don't need me to," Justin said again, turning back to his friends. Brittany slipped off his lap, kissing him on the cheek.
"Babe, I'm not feeling well, I'm gonna head home."
"Sure, Brit. Text me when you get home" Justin said as she walked out of Justin's house. She smiled, and decided just to make him tell her over text. That was better than nothing.
On her drive home, she thought about some things that had been bothering her. Why did nobody ever come out and say that she was pretty? Could it be that she wasn't?
She realized that that might be the case. Sure, she appeared pretty to herself, but how did she know that she wasn't just biased? She gasped as she thought about how likely it was. A lot of people who she and her friends had classified as ugly thought that they were pretty. Could she really be... ugly?
She picked up her phone and started texting. Who cared that she was driving? This was her prettiness at stake here!
Justin, tell me I'm pretty!
She put her phone down, smiling. How could he not say it when she said it like that? Maybe he was just being shy, so it would be easier if it was over a text.
The phone buzzed, so she picked it up, typing in the password to finally see that someone said she was pretty.
Brit! You are what you are, as long as you know that then you're fine!
She gritted her teeth, staring at the phone. He was so stupid. What did she ever see in him?
"Justin, you're such an idiot!" she exclaimed, glaring hatefully at the tiny picture of him next to his name. She quickly typed a "please" before setting the device down again.
Watching the road, the started thinking again. Maybe this was his way of preparing her for a breakup? That must be it. He hated her because she was so hideous.
How could he do this to her? Didn't he know that she loved him? How could he think that she was ugly, and not even have the guts to say it and break up with her?
Another buzz caught Brittany's attention, and, eyes full of anger, she picked up the phone again.
Brittany, please. You don't need me to tell you anything.
"Justin! I hate you, I hate you so much! I-" she screamed, getting cut off by a shape in front of her rapidly approaching. She swerved the wheel of the car to dodge the giant tree, only to crash into another.
He watched as the casket was lowered into the ground. He felt so guilty. Brittany had been in a car accident, and soon after he heard the news, Justin realized that she had died because she was texting him. He wished he had never asked her out. If they were strangers, she would at least be alive. It was his fault.

The Senior Class Fund promotes the opportunity to leave your mark on Vanderbilt by making a gift to the university.

Why I Give
"I give to Vanderbilt because I would not have experienced the best four years of my life if Vanderbilt had not given to me. By providing me with a scholarship, Vanderbilt allowed me to become a member of a community with unmatched opportunities for education, involvement, service, leadership and growth. None of my experiences would have been possible without the generosity of those who give to Vanderbilt, and it is now my turn to support Vanderbilt students so they have the chance to join this lifelong, life-changing community, regardless of financial situation."
–Carly Mecl, Vanderbilt Class of 2015
"I gave to the Senior Class Fund and, specifically, to the Zeta Rho chapter of Alpha Delta Pi sorority because this chapter gave me a home away from home on campus and made a decently large university a much smaller and more connected place for me. Because of this organization and the women in this chapter, I feel that I have become the person I was always supposed to be. After serving as Recruitment and Marketing Vice President and now President of the sorority, I have had the opportunity to see exactly how much of a difference even the smallest gifts can make in the life of the chapter, so it is my pleasure to give back to an organization that has given me more opportunities than I can count and friends that I will keep for the rest of my life."
–Kathryn Reddic, Vanderbilt Class of 2015

Narrow your search
The Huawei Watch is one of the best-looking smartwatches out there, but the Android Wear operating system still feels like a work in progress.
With two new "Stagefright" vulnerabilities discovered, almost every Android device ever released is vulnerable to malicious hackers. Fixing the bug isn't simple.
The Huawei P8 lacks some of the shine of its flagship phone rivals, but it still delivers an uncompromising mix of features and performance for a far cheaper price.
Despite its strong battery life, Huawei's entry-level Android-powered SnapTo fails to live up to rival phones that cost the same or less.
Huawei unveiled the LTE Cat4-enabled CarFi, a mobile cellular hotspot designed specifically for cars that also works as a standard car charger, at Mobile World Congress 2015.
Pricing not available
The Huawei Y360 is set to be super-cheap, but you get what you pay for with this basic Android smartphone.
Pricing not available
The Huawei Y635 will get you connected to the Internet at 4G LTE speeds without walloping your wallet, but elsewhere you get what you pay for.
Pricing not available
You can control Huawei's Mate S not just with your finger, the screen even responds to your knuckles.
Pricing not available
The Honor 7 packs a whole heap of high-end tech, like a 20-megapixel camera, into a classy frame -- and doesn't charge the Earth for it either.
The Huawei P8 Lite's affordable unlocked price is compelling, but the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 is a much better deal.

The First Lady and daughters Sasha and Malia got a private tour of the Betsy Ross House in the heart of Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon. Word is Malia recently wrote a paper for school about Ross and wanted to see for herself where America's most famous seamstress had sewn the flag. I guess that's a perk of being a First Daughter, huh? The Obama ladies also stopped at Philly landmarks Carpenters Hall and Independence Hall, plus took in a bit of South Street, where they observed artist Isaiah Zagar's mosaic work.

An Early Semester Lesson Plan for a College Composition Class.
1. Deliver a brief lecture on the essay to have been read for today; namely, on any bits of sloppy prose or grammatical awkwardness (or misuses) or anything else for the students to avoid in their own writing. Question the author's use of certain words in specific instances. Bring up more appropriate synonyms. Do this with confidence. Look out over your audience with a steely gaze, to let them know that you can be trusted and that your opinion should be a key factor in their own writing and revising, if not their lives.
2. Give the class a moment to scour the essay and isolate its thesis. Ask one student to read his or her finding. Ask if anyone got anything different. Consider the implications of these varying theses. Ask the class what a thesis is, anyway, other than an encapsulation of the characteristics the author wants to get across—and then ask if the author succeeded, based on this criterion. Hold the silence, void of movement, until it is pregnant with tension. Then ask if you just "blew their minds" in a really out-there voice. Bask in the glow of their appreciative laughter. Bask some more. If the moment is right, make a follow-up joke.
3. Have the students bring out their journal entries on the day's reading. Ask for a volunteer to read. If none are forthcoming, make a lighthearted comment about how you have to "pick" a volunteer. Appear jocular. (Burliness helps.) Congratulate that one exemplary but shy student who always answers the question when no one else knows the answer and is coasting through the class on a cushion of talent and the bitterness that comes from having been too lazy to take the AP or placement tests to get out of the class in the first place, when he or she rolls her eyes and says "OK, I'll read," quietly. After he or she reads and the respectful silence has passed, nod with furrowed brow. Make a polite comment. Invite someone else to read. When no one else does, pose a rhetorical question and smile, softly.
4. Suggest an in-class writing assignment on identity (cultural, political, ethnic, or something else) and how it influenced this essay—and, indeed, how it influences the students' own writing. While they scribble intermittently, read the errant copy of the student newspaper you find on the corner of the desk at the front of the room. Wonder why what the front page has as the day's high temperature feels much lower than the actual temperature. Notice that this issue is three days old. Chuckle. Do the Sudoku puzzle. Get frustrated when your stall out. Remember, upon realizing you have two threes in the first row, you don't know how to play Sudoku properly. Remember also that you don't like Sudoku.
5. Nod toward the door at the one student who notices the hands of the clock three minutes past the end of class. Collect the students' writing assignments as they file out. Smile openly at them; count on one hand the number of them who note this. Wait in the stairwell just outside the door. Rest your forehead against the cool cement. Appreciate its density. Wait a minute more. When colleagues step around you and raise sympathetic hands, raise one of your own in return. Take your time returning to the next classroom. Ask the students in the next class what they want to start with today.

A Different Kind of BusinessIt was in 2009 that Cross Industry Construction (CIC) was officially established as a family business, based in Wallburg, North Carolina. With decades of construction between them, father and son decided to provide site work, new construction, and remodeling.
But what they wanted was a different kind of construction business. One that would follow through with projects in a way that went above and beyond customer expectations. In short, this family and those it hired committed to doing business honorably.

Skip to comments.Secret Donors Finance Fight Against Hagel
Posted on 01/27/2013 12:38:05 PM PST by Brad from Tennessee
A brand new conservative group calling itself Americans for a Strong Defense and financed by anonymous donors is running advertisements urging Democratic senators in five states to vote against Chuck Hagel, President Obamas nominee to be secretary of defense, saying he would make the United States a weaker country.
Another freshly minted and anonymously backed organization, Use Your Mandate, which presents itself as a liberal gay rights group but purchases its television time through a prominent Republican firm, is attacking Mr. Hagel as anti-Gay, anti-woman and anti-Israel in ads and mailers.
Those groups are joining at least five others that are organizing to stop Mr. Hagels confirmation, a goal even they acknowledge appears to be increasingly challenging. But the effort comes with a built-in consolation prize should it fail: depleting some of Mr. Obamas political capital as he embarks on a new term with fresh momentum. . .
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
The "media campaign" is composed of paid advertising because that is too often the only medium conservatives have. Obama and the Democrats can run a 24/7 "media campaign" through the mainstream media without spending a dime.
Hagel served as the chairman of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China and wrote the legislation that authorized it.
In December, the Atlantic Council chaired by Hagel issued a report stating that, U.S. strategy to 2030 must deepen cooperation with China as the most crucial single factor that will shape the international system and stated that U.S. strategy will need to accommodate legitimate, essential Chinese interests.
In 2005, Hagel authored an editorial urging against any aggressive US measures to deal with the trade imbalance. Hagel has also been on record as warning the United States against supporting Taiwan for fear of being dragged into a war with China.
The cornerstone of our approach to policy toward China and Taiwan has been the so-called one China policy: There is but one China; Taiwan is part of China and the question of Taiwans future must be settled peacefully, he said on the Senate floor.
In 1998, Hagel aggressively pushed for granting Most Favored Nation status to China. In December 2001, he warned strongly against offending China.
Now, do we want to deliberately offend China or start China or force China or induce China into an arms race? Of course not. China will have to do what it believes is the best in their own self-interest.
In 1999, in response to Chinese theft of American nuclear secrets, Hagel launched into yet more apologetics for the Peoples Republic of China.
Hagel / Obama / Hillary etc = Benedict Arnolds
There was someone on Fox today talking about the best and worst people in Congress to work for. Hagel was one of the worst two Senators—very high turnover of staff. If he can't run a staff of 50 or whatever, how is he going to do a good job running a huge bureaucracy?

Restaurant Bar Ariane.: Cool evening - Segou.
A terrific setting in a lovely garden for this restaurant - bar where they have live music as of Friday through to Sunday. The atmosphere is more cultured than the "Golfe" but the local band, using koras as well as the drums and balafon starts warming up the clientele from about 23.00 onwards.
You can eat here beforehand and then get your boogie feet on to dance until the early hours. Count on a kilometre walk from the riverfront.
Dress Code: Slightly smarter than the "Golfe" but t-shirts no problem.
Restaurant "Le Golfe" aka "Le Niger": Thunderous drumming - Segou.
This is more a maquis than a restaurant, quite small and intimate. Food is not bad with portions that unless you're famished you won't finish. Practically every night night there is a local group playing, balafon, djembé and other local instruments. It really warms up when the colection hat goes round and the drummers follow it. All good fun.
Dress Code: Very casual.
Typical Mali hotel: Don't stay in the hotel after dark!
In Djenne we asked around for live music and found it at an outdoor restaurant, the name of which I don't remember. The town is very small, so it's pretty easy to follow the ears to a drum performance. Anyway, the spontaneity of watching the young men drum traditional beats and young women entertain with a dance competition was simply delightful. The venue in our case was also an outdoor restaurant and hotel, and so we ate dinner and enjoyed the performance. As I recall, their wasn't a concrete or tile patio, and the dancers danced on the gravely surface that was beneath our table. The In Africa, there's no need for any other instrument than the drum--really! These things are highly chance driven in terms of scheduling though so if you are concerned about keeping to a itinerary, you better ask around as soon as you arrive in town. More formal festivals are also a possibility...
Dress Code: Relax, this is Africa, but otherwise dress conservatively. Be prepared for possible mosquitoes, as this was an outdoor venue.Related to:
- Music
- Festivals
- Theater Travel
All along the river front: Sunset
Mali is not high on Nightlife as we know it, and no-one in their right mind would go there for that reason. People watching with a glass of beer in one hand at one of the small bars, or as here, just gazing out on the sunset over Bani River (a tributary of Niger) at Mopti is all you need to end another amazing day!Related to:
- Camping
- Hiking and Walking
- Desert
When in Segou, check out the...
When in Segou, check out the Jardin Mombaso across the street from the Petit Marche and next to Farafina Bogolan. This bar might be the best in Mali, it was absolutely rocking every night during the African Cup, with players, press, and fans from all over Africa dancing there. On Friday and Saturday nights there is usually a live band playing. Some of the musicians are some of the most reknown in Mali. I saw Ali Farka Toure and Oumou Sangare perform here. The bar is outdoors surrounded by an overhang with fans. Beers are freezing which is nice after a day in the hot sun. For food there are brochettes and frites, but you have to try the PIGEON. Yes I know its pigeon, but its delicious really good. For those Americans out there, think of buffalo wings, really really good. The place doesn't get going until midnight, but it doesn't really slow down until 4 or 5 am. Every night of the week there is usally at least a DJ there, playing African music, mostly Congolese and Malian, and playing some hip-hop also. Its just a cool place to hang out and meet some local folks too.
Dress Code: Casual, but nothing too revealing, its Muslim around here too.
Outside Timbuktu: An evening with the Touareg
An intersting evening was spent with the Touareg around a camp fire being entertained by various dances - many involving daunting mock swords fights. No audience participation there!Related to:
- Camping
- Hiking and Walking
- Desert
Evasion: Evasion
modern little night club with a DJ; 20 and 30-something crowd mostly.
Dress Code: dress to impress; I didn't see any traditional dress though.
Appaloosa: Appaloosa
Not typical but... with air conditioning !!! When the outside temperature is above 40, you appreciate !!
