I'll never forget the day we received a call from Madonna's manager, Caresse Henry. Madonna had seen our work and wanted to hire us for a project in conjunction with her Music album. We all thought it was a joke. There we were, just a few people in a little office in Hell's Kitchen and Madonna's "people" were asking to do business with us.
Your first web encounter, year etc.
1996, a year before the opening of Firstborn, marks my first actual use of 'The Web'.
Computers hadn't come into play during my years at the University of Wisconsin, and even if they had, I likely would have brushed them aside to make room for sports and socializing and the occasional dive into an actual text book.
In the years since I had moved to New York from my native Chicago, I had worked in the garment industry buying and selling piece goods. I was essentially running my own business within a business and learned a great deal about what I wanted the next phase of my professional life to look like.
I knew I wanted to run my own show, I knew I wanted to be part of creating a high end deliverable, and I knew I wanted to put my skills to work.
I also knew my cousin was looking to go off on his own. He had been working for a company that was doing a lot of early stage multimedia work for large corporations - we're talking interactive sales tools, brochures, marketing kits, that sort of thing.
We had always dreamed about running a business together and combining our skill sets - his on the creative/design side, and mine on the business and management side. We decided to start a company that would offer 'multimedia' solutions, but on a smaller scale and focused on high quality aesthetic.
It was time for me to do some research. And so I bought my first computer -a Comtrade - a piece of machinery I was in no way equipped to handle, far more intended for designers and developers than for someone like myself.
I began to explore 'The Web' for the very first time to educate myself on the kind of industry I was about to dive into.
Firstborn officially launched in the summer of 1997 in a small space in the Film Center in Hell's Kitchen. We had secured a few good projects leveraging my contacts in the fashion industry and were gaining traction.
Your digital journey since.
I'll never forget the day we received a call from Madonna's manager, Caresse Henry. Madonna had seen our work and wanted to hire us for a project in conjunction with her Music album. We all thought it was a joke. There we were, just a few people in a little office in Hell's Kitchen and Madonna's "people" were asking to do business with us.
Fast forward to April 2002, a major turning point for both my and Firstborn's digital journey. That was the year my cousin and I decided to part ways. We had made it through 2001 unscathed and were even thriving as a company but we realized we had very different ideas of where we wanted take Firstborn.
We headed into 2003 with drama behind us and things moving forward. That same year my daughter Jordan was born - my own firstborn. My life was changed forever and all the bullshit of the prior year was put in perspective.
More things began to crystallize for me. In order to run and grow the company the way I envisioned, it would need to be first and foremost about our talent.
That year we made crucial hires like Zeh Fernando and Mathieu Badimon.
Soon after Dan came young developer/designer, Joonyong Park arriving straight from Korea to join Firstborn. Today he is Firstborn's Chief Creative Officer and one of the most awe-inspiring people that has ever set foot in our company.
We had the right group of about 40-45 people and our quality of work was better than ever. We also began a global internship program drawing people from all over the world from Rochester to Taiwan, still in effect today.
Come 2006 I hit another personal milestone - the birth of my son Cooper. I was about 9 years in the business. I had come a long way. Through trial and error I had learned what type of person could truly prosper inside of Firstborn.
From 2006 to 2008 digital was really heating up all over the ad industry. Major agencies started needing us more and more and we found our groove becoming a go-to hired gun.
In 2008 we started talking internally about getting back to our roots a bit and exploring more direct to brand relationships like those we had in earlier years with Reebok, Malibu Rum, and Armani Exchange .
As big of a year as 2002 was, 2009 was equally monumental. Our reputation as a creative force in digital had been established. In that year we won a big digital agency of record pitch for Pepsi's Sobe and were hired to do a significant amount of work for Aflac.
Our revenues grew significantly and with that came some necessary changes. We had to shift our staff to fit these new relationships. And we did it in the same organic, thoughtful and non reactive way in which we had always done things or else it would have never worked.
We have a few mantras at Firstborn. One, stripped from "A League of Their Own", There's No Crying at Firstborn. We push forward and make do. Another, Open Kimono. We are all about transparency.
Enter 2010, and with it more growth and continued interest from private equity and holding companies. It was always flattering to be a target - I had gotten calls like these back as early as 2006.
Just as I had tabled all conversations, one person remained persistent in asking me to take one more meeting - Bryan Weiner, CEO of Dentsu-owned 360i. He was pressing me to sit down with Tim Andree, then CEO of Dentsu Network. Dentsu had bought 360i in January of that year and I watched with great respect how that relationship was benefiting Bryan's company.
These last two years have been unbelievable for Firstborn. Dentsu has honored Tim's word in allowing us to run our business, protect our culture and grow Firstborn in the slow and steady way that got us to this point.
This unbelievable journey has been just that...
What are You Up to Now
Anyone who knows me knows one thing for certain. In the many sports I play, I may not be the best player but I am one of the best team players.

Really a cool map!
That's an excellent design!
Thanks for the star map love, y'all.
Nice dramatic look with the bright colors against black, and the labels look sensibly useful for minimal info. However, that should be the "Transporters' Guild" it was commissioned for, unless there's a single transporter strong enough to make a guild all by itself.
WoW!! This is way cool!

Polls & Publications
See the June Political Monitor for voting intention and leader satisfaction
A new Ipsos MORI poll reveals deep levels of cynicism towards politicians among the British public.
Half (52%) of Britons believe MPs put their own interests first and three in ten (31%) think MPs put their party's interest first. Just one in twelve (8%) believe MPs put the interests of their own constituents first, and 6% say their country comes first for MPs. This is almost the exact opposite of what people want MPs to prioritise:
The level of Britons believing MPs put their own interests first has fallen since May 2009 at the height of the expenses scandal (62%) but is still higher than the 45% in January 2006. The current findings are in line with those found in 1994 and 1996. Over time there has been an apparent shift in priorities for the British public with more now wanting MPs to put their country's interests ahead of constituents; in 1996, 48% wanted constituents' interests put first and 46% wanted the interests of the country prioritised.
The level of trust in MPs among Britons is lower now than in 2004 and 2006 and similar to 2009. One in five (21%) say they trust MPs to tell the truth and 72% do not trust them. In 2004 67% did not trust MPs, 60% in 2006 and 76% in 2009 after the expenses scandal.
However, Britons are more likely to say they trust their local MP than MPs in general. Half (51%) say they trust their local MP while 35% say they do not trust them. This is the highest level of trust in their local MP we have seen over the last decade.
A third (33%) of British adults believe that most MPs use their power for their own personal gain:
These findings are slightly lower than those of 2009 (40%), but more people now think most MPs use their power for personal gain than did in 2004 (30%) and 2006 (29%).
In line with other Ipsos MORI polling that shows UKIP supporters to be the most dissatisfied with the government and three major party leaders, they are also the most cynical about MPs. UKIP supporters are more likely than other party supporters to think MPs put their own interests first (72%), more likely to not trust MPs in general (83%) or their local MP (50%) and more likely to think most or all (49%) MPs use their power for their own personal gain.
Head of Political Research at Ipsos MORI, Gideon Skinner, said:
"Public cynicism with politics is nothing new, but it looks like it has become entrenched. Disenchantment with politicians is shared across supporters of all parties – but is noticeably higher among UKIP voters, who seem most unhappy with the current political scene."
Technical details
Ipsos MORI interviewed a representative sample of 1,023 adults aged 18+ across Great Britain. Interviews were conducted by telephone 8th – 10th June 2013. Data are weighted to match the profile of the population.

There's more to the Divine Home and Garden Tour than meets the curious eye.
As advertised, the June 11 charity tour provides a rare chance to stroll through some of Vancouver's otherwise-private lush gardens and explore the city's oldest and most historically interesting — and occupied — homes.
But it's also a chance to learn how to make your own living space more attractive, organizers said.
Each of the seven gardens on the tour will have at least one master gardener available to answer questions about the best ways to grow a variety of plants, and each home will have several volunteer guides to talk about history, explain design concepts and offer decorating tips.
And then there's possibly the most important factor — it's all for a good cause.
"All of our proceeds go to at-risk youth, one of the most fragile segments of our society," said Linda Glover, executive director of Divine Consign and its parent, Gifts for Our Community, which is managing the tour. "We've been able to support a number of programs through the tour in the past."
$55,000 collected
Since Divine Consign took over the event in 2008, it has collected $55,000 for a variety of charities that support young Clark County citizens in difficult situations. Some of those charities include a summer camp for homeless teens, weekend and holiday food programs, educational and library support, and assistance in finding and training young people for jobs.
"One program provides books for the Juvenile Detention Center Library," Glover said. "They have a very high readership among the detainees. The kids have loved that we've given them new things to read."
Every home on the tour uses a few items of furniture from Divine Consign, a downtown Vancouver consignment store that donates proceeds to more than 130 Clark County charities.
Those pieces will sometimes be marked — in part as a way to show people that design elements don't have to be new or overly expensive to improve the look of a home, she said.
"This isn't a parade of homes where everything is perfect," Glover said. "These are family homes. It's nice to see how people decorate and get ideas from them."
Kiggins House
One house on the tour was built in 1907 by J.P. Kiggins, who served as Vancouver's mayor for 15 years between 1908 and 1935.
Judith and Bruce Wood bought the home a few years ago and moved it about 20 blocks to a new location to protect it from being knocked down.
The couple have restored a lot of the original features, which had been altered when the building was used for office space, Judith Wood said.
"We replaced the flooring, which had been drilled into as part of the offices, and we salvaged floors from the dining room area," Wood said. "Under every piece of wood in this house, we found John Kiggins' name stamped."
Kiggins originally built the house so he could overlook Vancouver Barracks, she said.
The former mayor also constructed several brick buildings on Main Street, including more than one movie theater. He also served two terms as a Clark County commissioner, and was first chairman of the county's planning commission before he died in 1941.
"It's just a beautiful piece of history that we've been able to restore," Wood said.
The couple have tried to add decorative pieces and design elements that evoke the look of the first decade of the 1900s, but the 4,800-square-foot home, which they live in, also includes several modern features, she said.
The tour begins at the Grant House, at 1101 Officers Row, where participants can buy tickets for $25 on the day of the event.
Ulysses S. Grant used to visit the house, the first built on Officers Row when he was stationed at Fort Vancouver in the 1850s — but ironically he never lived in it, Glover said.
It was named in his honor after he served two terms as president of the United States.
The site is now a restaurant, she added.
Most of the homes will remain secret until the day of the tour to protect the owners from having visitors stop by at odd hours outside of the scheduled event, which runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 11, Glover said.
All the homes are in the downtown area, but visitors might want to drive between them if the weather is bad or they tire easily, she said.
Wood, whose home has been on the tour in past years, when it was sponsored by the YWCA, said she hopes a lot of people turn out for the event, which has drawn between 400-600 people in past years.
"People will love it," Wood said. "We're very excited, and we hope the weather will comply."

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Conversations have never been easier: Mentions are here http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=58047&th=11875#msg_58047 <![CDATA[Today we are making it easier to have conversations on Shapeways. Now, when your username is @mentioned in a model comment, you will receive a notification. If you @mention someone's username they will also receive a notification. It's the best way to have a conversation with a designer or to recommend a product to someone else in the Shapeways community.
 You can view your most recent mentions by clicking on the @ notifications icon next to your profile image in the top navigation bar.

 Have you come across a product you wish could be customized for you? @mention the designer's username to start a conversation with them. They will receive a notification about your mention and soon you could have a product designed just for you.

 As a Shop Owner, have some of your potential customers had questions? When a customer @mentions your username you will receive a notification and can start the conversation right away.

 Found the perfect product for a friend? Let them know by @mentioning their username in a comment. They'll receive a notification with your recommendation.

 This is only the first step towards a more social experience on Shapeways and there are many more to come. Our goal is to empower our community with the ability to make anything possible - and we believe a big step towards making that happen is improving the ability to communicate with each other. You've told us you wanted it to be easier to have conversations on Shapeways and we listened. We're excited for you to start a conversation; go start one today and tell us about your experience with this new feature in the comments below! ]]> ChristianA 2012-12-05T19:23:18-00:00 Re: Conversations have never been easier: Mentions are here http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=58110&th=11875#msg_58110 <![CDATA[It is a good idea and it works, but...

 We don't need two email notifications, one for the mention and one for the comment left.

 There's no 'reply' button to carry on the conversation.

 Up until about 4 years ago ebay used to allow sellers to leave negative comments for buyers.
 You know ebay - they're just a venue - buyers can leave negative comments, but sellers cannot.
 ebay do not allow buyers' negative comments to be removed uless there is an underlaying legal reason (breach of t&c's).

 Shapeways environment is a bit different to ebay.

 The designer is not the seller - Shapeways is.

 Any negative comments (imo) should not be left on a model page unless Shapeways agreee to the comment... my reasoning, the customer is not buying from the designer, the customer is buying from Shapeways.

From which machine do I execute this command? When I execute it on my main machine, I get the following:
The term 'Get-CASMailbox' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
And to be clear, my Office 365 email syncs to several other devices, including an iPad, a few phones and Outlook on my desktop. It even used to work on my Surface, but it no longer does. I never ran a command-line to disable ActiveSync nor did I interact with any admin program to disable it.
Hi Chirs,
Thanks for the reply.
You have to connect Windows PowerShell to office 365 first before running this cmdlet and this cmdlet can be running on any computer which have Windows PowerShell and Internet connection. For detail steps to connect to Office 365, please refer to the following steps::
1. Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Windows PowerShell > Windows PowerShell.
2. Run the following command:
$LiveCred = Get-Credential
NOTE: In the Windows PowerShell Credential Request window that opens, type the credentials of an account in your cloud-based organization. When you are finished, click OK.
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $LiveCred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
NOTE: The AllowRedirection parameter enables cloud-based organizations in datacenters all over the world to connect Windows PowerShell to the cloud-based service by using the same URL.
Import-PSSession $Session
NOTE: A progress indicator appears that shows the importing of commands used in the cloud-based service into the client-side session of your local computer. When this process is complete, you can run cmdlets.
May I know if this account can still work properly on your iPad or the other mobile device currently? My understanding is this account cannot work for all the mobile devices now, not only surface. If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to correct me.
"And to be clear, my Office 365 email syncs to several other devices, including an iPad, a few phones and Outlook on my desktop."
Yes. My Office 365 mail works everywhere else except my Surface device. In fact, I added it to a Nexus 7 device today and it worked like a charm. It just doesn't work on my Surface.
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I understand that your office 365 account can work properly on Nexus7 and only cannot work on Surface.
Based on current situaiton, could you please user access information to us? we need to do some tests in lab. To protect your privacy, please reply to Allen Qiu in a private message with the information requested.
To access to the private message :
1.Please go to the Your details section on the right side of the community site.

Thanks, Steven. I figured there was some database corruption problem. I didn't know about MFCMapi, so I'll explore that in the future if this kind of thing happens again.

You may not be able to judge a book by its cover, but you sure as hell judge a gamer by their setup.
Back in the days of the Nintendo 64 and the Playstation one you could experience everything a game has to offer through a reasonably average television set. Oh my, how the world has changed.
Modern gaming is all about high definition; how do I get the best visual experience? What is the best audio gear for my needs? Current generation consoles offer displays ranging from archaic 50Hz televisions to full HD, 1080p resolutions as well as catering for 5.1 Dolby surround sound or just your everyday 2.1 computer speakers. The huge range in capabilities means that the market entry is relatively cheap making it accessible to more and more people. However, games are designed to be compatible with the best equipment and as a result, those who are left with the basic equipment are missing out on some of the cooler features of the games.
With technology developing at the rate that it is, it becomes impossible for the average Joe to have the best equipment. Everyone has to find a settling point and make do with what they've got.
Personally, I play PC games and Xbox 360 through my 22″ monitor. I have shitty 2.1 logitech speakers but I just purchased a Plantronics Gamecom 777 headset which is 5.1 capable and makes for some fantastic PC gaming.
So what have you got Gamer Syndrome buddies?
What do you play? What do you play it on? What kind of audio do you use? Do you think that better technology makes for a better gaming experience?

Coppock Curve Killer Wave: Maybe Not So Killer
A research note in heavy rotation yesterday flagged a frightening development in an obscure technical indicator called the Coppock Curve. Like the Death Cross, it might not be as scary as it sounds.
The note, appropriately enough, was penned by Albert Edwards, the in-house seer of doom at Societe Generale, which certainly knows from doom these days. Mr. Edwards warned that the S&P 500′s Coppock Curve — the 10-month weighted moving average of the sum of the 14-month and 11-month rates of change in an index — had put in a "killer wave," basically a double top.
According to Mr. Edwards, such a killer wave has happened 8 times in the past 83 years, and was followed by a 40% decline, on average, in the following 20 months.
Yikes! But wait, says Jason Goepfert of SentimenTrader and Sundial Capital Research. He did his own study of the Coppock Curve — which is based on periods of bereavement identified by the Episcopal Church; yes, seriously — and found somewhat different results than Mr. Edwards:
The S&P's performance going forward was sub-par, certainly, but I don't see the "average -40% decline during the next 20 months".
When we look at the next 20 months, the maximum decline in the S&P was a median -13.9%. That's definitely higher than what we see during any random 20-month stretch, but way off from what was mentioned in the report.
Also, the maximum gain during the next 20 months was actually quite a bit higher than that, and in fact it was even higher than random. The last six "killer wave" signals, in fact, led to quite bullish outcomes, excepting the one from November 2007.
Overall, I don't see much about the indicator that would have me overly worried about stocks' long-term prospects.
Click on the hard-to-see graphic for a look at the results of Mr. Goepfert's study.

Patton Oswalt
Jump to
A popular fixture on the stand-up comedy circuit of the late 1990s, actor and writer Patton Oswalt later balanced mainstream acceptance on the popular sitcom "King of Queens" (CBS, 1998-2007) and the Pixar animated film "Ratatouille" (2007) with indie popularity from voice work on countless Adult Swim animated series and the Comedians of Comedy tour - a project which presented alternative-minded comics in a rock club setting. While he continued to routinely perform stand-up and release top-selling albums like Werewolves and Lollipops (2007) and Patton Oswalt: Finest Hour (2011), Oswalt appeared in a number of feature and television projects, including "Balls of Fury" (2007), "Big Fan" (2009), "The Informant!" (2009) and "Young Adult" (2011). Throughout all of these experiences, however, Oswalt never lost his unique comic voice - a smart, opinionated stream of consciousness - that flitted seamlessly from pop culture references to cutting observations on the social and political scene.

Deee-licious! I cut way back on the chipotle pepper for my kids. I only used 3/4 on one. I also had to use chicken stock instead of clam juice. Very tasty, will make again for sure.
Very good,I made it just like the recipe said, except I used canned Crab meat, Also 1 can of clams plus the clam juice. Be careful of how much of the chipotle chiles in adobo sauce that you use, Unless you like it really hot. I used 1&1/2 chiles (seeds removed) it was a little to spicey for us, but very good tasting except for that.The corn cob does add a lot of flavor. I will be making this again but with less chile's. Thank you Rita for posting the recipe.
Excellent recipe - DH said it was better than our local fish place. I did make a few changes: 1) Used 1/2 crab and 1/2 shrimp. Crab is a little rich for me. 1 lb of crab really flaovered it and there was lots of it. 2) Only 1 chipotle - and that was just the right spice for me! 3) Forgot to buy clam juice - so I used chicken stock. I used pastuerized crab in the refrigerator case and did not drain it - so that helped make up the difference. 4) Used half and half and a bit of skim milk instead of the cream. - A bit thin - but I like my chowder thin. Very quick and Easy - definitely in my regular rotation

Online streaming companies such as Netflix have become dominant in the media distribution sector. However, such media delivery services often support very rudimentary search, especially for natural language queries. To provide a more natural search interface, we have developed a conversational movie search system, which parses the recognition hypothesis of a spoken query into semantic classes using conditional random fields (CRFs), and then searches an indexed database with the identified semantics. Topic modeling on user-generated content (e.g., movie reviews) is employed for query expansion. Thirteen searching schemas are supported (such as genre, plot, character and soundtrack search). A crowd-sourcing platform was utilized to automatically collect large-scale annotated data for incremental CRF training.

As part of the government's quest to preserve your values, the FCC is asking various networks for tapes of sporting events that could possibly include profanity from players, coaches, and fans. Any little slip-ups are likely to draw huge fines.
Under federal court rulings and commission rules, material is indecent if it "in context, depicts or describes sexual or excretory activities or organs in a patently offensive manner as measured by contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium." Indecent speech can be aired safely between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Now, I do believe in a certain amount of "decency" on the airwaves… which might come as a bit of a surprise to you, considering the outright filth that I produce here. But I do believe that when there's a chance that young kids are watching, the networks have a responsibility to do what they can to keep the language clean, and I would take the bold stand of being against hardcore pornography being broadcast as a lead-in to SpongeBob Squarepants.
But at the same time, I like live television, and I understand that sometimes, you know, people say fuck. Things happen at live sporting events. At certain college arenas, the "asshole" chant is almost tradition. Bill Cowher can't call a play without using the word "fuck." I think it's actually in some of their playcalls. "All right, let's run Jumbo Right, Fuck 27, Slant Wing Z Cock Deep."
Things just happen. And I think the networks do everything they can to keep it off the airwaves, with delays and such. But every now and then, a little bit of potty-mouth is going to get through. Broadcasters can be fined as much as $325,000 per violation, under a new law. And if networks keep getting hit with these huge fines, broadcasts are going to get farther and farther away from actually being "live." Delays will be longer, microphones will get farther and farther from the field, and they're going to air on the side of caution.
Just seems like the FCC should have better things to spend their time on.

Thought I'd see which way market forces would take this thread.
Simple proposal: I have in my possession a genuine safety card from an Embraer 170 - no airline logo on it, because it's not in service - taken from the aircraft following a test-flight on which I happened to be a passenger.
Before you ask - my conscience is clear, because I specifically asked for permission to have it.
Now I don't actually need it. But I figured that someone here might consider it worth having. Anyone interested?
Oh, and I think you should justify why you should have it.

"Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we get high, cuz you never know when you're gonna go"
With those words delivered on the classic Nas debut LP Illmatic, AZ was immortalized within the history books of hip-hop music. As the only guest to appear on that seminal record, Brooklyn native AZ began a career that has spanned over a decade, bringing in high amounts of acclaim and respect amongst his lyrical peers. From his slept-on 1995 debut Doe Or Die to 2002′s critically appraised Aziatic, AZ has consistently blessed listeners with his crisp flow punctuated by street narratives and charismatic verses. Despite the steady praise he has warranted, though, his name is rarely mentioned alongside those of MCs with as much, or even less, microphone experience, and many outside of hip-hop's faithful box still aren't aware of his achievements.
Final Call, his fifth album, is set to hit the streets hard in September, and promises to provide fans with new insights from AZ's 'New York state of mind'. The once-member of super-group The Firm has called upon guests CL Smooth, Tony Sunshine, Rell, and even the late Aaliyah to bring the heat, and with beat-makers such as Buckwild and Baby Paul on board, Final Call appears to be a sure-fire winner. Whether or not this new album will help AZ reach the star status which has strayed away from him thus far is in time's hands, but one thing is for sure: those in the know are definitely anticipating Final Call and will help it to make as much noise as possible. If this album fails to take his career to new heights, though, AZ has his business mind focused, prepping his Quiet Money Records with hungry, Brooklyn-bred talent, and single-handedly planning the long-awaited, often fantasized about, Nas and AZ collaboration album.
HHS: First off, let's talk about the new album, Final Call, that's coming out this September. What can listeners expect from this record?
AZ: People can expect AZ to the tenth power. I'm back, and I'm bigger and better, as usual. This album is like a combination of Doe Or Die, Pieces Of A Man, 9 Lives, and Aziatic.
HHS: Why did you name it Final Call?
AZ: Final Call is like saying that this the last time I'm telling y'all to recognize who I am and what I'm bringing to the table. It's my final call.
HHS: So what happens if people don't recognize after this album?
AZ: Well, then I'm going to fall back. I got a whole crew. I got Quiet Money Records right now, with three or four artists that are ready to do what they gotta do. I'm gonna play CEO.
HHS: Break down this Quiet Money family for everybody who isn't aware.
AZ: Well, I got my man Young God. He was on the 9 Lives album, and he's on this new album actually. I got my man Animal; he's been on the last two albums. On Aziatic, he was on that "Hustler" joint. Then you got my man Trav. I got a whole crew in Brooklyn waiting.
HHS: How did the track "Magic Hour" with CL Smooth come about?
AZ: Well, you know, me, Pete Rock, and CL go way back. Back to the early Nas days, and my first days, when we worked on the Doe Or Die album. CL is cool with me, and he stopped through the studio, to pay respects or whatever. He heard the track, and was like, "Wow, this is hot!" I asked him to see what he could do with it, so he hopped on it right there and it came out crazy. That's why it's called "Magic Hour", cuz we just did it there right on the spot.
HHS: This album also has vocals from Aaliyah on it. How did you get those vocals?
AZ: Those vocals there, they are off her first album. I don't want people thinking they are exclusive vocals. It was chopped up, and the record is a beautiful record. Her vocals were so soulful to me. They made me express what I wouldn't express on any other track.
HHS: You've always given new producers a lot of shine on your albums, rather than recruit big name people. What do you think the advantage is in working with fresh talent?
AZ: Because the big names guys aren't necessarily gonna come through. The guys that's trying to come up are gonna go hard and remember who brought them to the table.
HHS: You actually did some production yourself on this album. Is this the first time that you have produced any tracks?
AZ: Yeah, I did like three tracks on the album. It was the first time, and with me being an artist, I know what I want to rap on. I learned how to do it by being around people and having people assist me.
HHS: You touched on this briefly already, but do you think that you have been given the recognition that you deserve after ten years in the game?
AZ: Not necessarily. I know I'm respected in the game, and respected by those that know me, but its time to reach everybody, you know, reach the world. The ghettos and the hoods love me and show the respect, but its time for me to step it up, man. I'm gonna do it, somehow and some way. Either if it's through the record label, or through the archives that I have.
HHS: The last album, Aziatic, received a lot of critical acclaim when it dropped. Do you feel that Final Call is an improvement from that album?
AZ: Yeah, no doubt, Final Call, to me, is my best album, because it has everything. I brought the streets to it, and I kept it with a soulful vibe. The lyrics stepped up and the music stepped up. It's constant elevation.
HHS: What's up with the song you have out now with Tony Sunshine, "Talkin' Gangsta"?
AZ: We just put that out, with me just rambling. It has this Calypso, Spanish feel to it, but still the street aura is involved. Tony Sunshine definitely blessed that, but that's not gonna be the first single. We just got that out there circulating. The first single is "You Know", with Rell. We are shooting that video real soon, and we'll start smashing the radios with it.
HHS: How are your relationships with your former Firm associates, like Nas, Cormega, and Foxy Brown?
AZ: Everybody is cool. They are all doing them. Foxy Brown is no longer with Def Jam, and she is trying to sign elsewhere. Nas, you know, is doing the Ill Will thing. He's trying to drop this new double CD. Hopefully I'm on that album, cuz we did a song for that double CD. If the song didn't make it, though, I'm trying to reach out to him and let him know that we should get this album done. A Nas and AZ album together. I'm trying to work that out, reach out to everybody and let them know. So many people have been asking for it, and I don't want them to think that I'm the cause of it not happening. Everytime I do an interview, I tell the person to make it clear that I'm trying to let Nas and whoever know that we need to get that poppin' off.
HHS: How was it working with Cormega on his new Legal Hustle album?
AZ: Mega is peoples. He's been grinding, you know trying to stay on top of his job. I definitely appreciate and respect that. So it was all love.
HHS: In what ways do you think this rap game is different now in 2004 then it was when you dropped Doe Or Die back in 1995?
AZ: In 1995, the era was over here in the East Coast. We had it locked for a minute, and then the West Coast ran with it. Now, the Midwest and the South are getting it crunk, so it's their time to run with it. They're eating right now, and they have this game locked. In a minute, though, I'm sure it will come back to the East Coast.
HHS: In 1995, you were one of the new MCs creating heavy buzz. What do you think of this large crop of new rappers creating buzz through all of these mixtapes out now?
AZ: The new cats are aight. They do what they do. I haven't really heard anybody that caught my ear or had me go crazy, like back then when everybody was coming through.
HHS: Looking back on your career so far, is there anything that you would have done differently?
AZ: No, not necessarily. I like being in the spot that I'm in. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.
HHS: So when all is said and done, in like ten years from now, what do you want a rap fan to think of when someone mentions the name AZ?
AZ: That A-1 is the livest. He's underrated, but one of the livest. That's in every story, from basketball to baseball. There is always somebody that is underrated but definitely the one that opened the doors for a lot of people, cuz like I said and told a lot of people, "Sugar Hill" went platinum way before a lot of guys went platinum.

This summer my friend and I are planning a 3.5 month, 5000 mile bike tour through the Western U.S to celebrate his college graduation. This will be our first tour and we are doing everything we can to get trained, prepped, and ready for this trip. Equipment and gear wise we are planning pretty meticulously to be as lightweight and efficient as possible- except for the most important part- our bikes. As relatively poor college students we don't have proper touring bikes. He has a decent intro Triathlon bike (can't remember the model/brand) and I have a Giant Defy 2 Road bike. Both are excellent bikes for there respective purposes but I have a feeling they will be unsuitable/too fragile for such a long intense journey. So here are my options for the trip right now; I'm hoping you guys can weigh in on this.
1) Modify- Is there a way to modify my current Defy 2? It has an aluminum frame on it and I have attached a rear rack system but it doesn't have a front rack mounting system. The wheels/tires would also obviously have to be replaced to be stronger and more durable for more rough road conditions. The fork is also carbon fiber and I'm skeptical to out any extra strain on it with front panniers Is it possible to change out the fork for a wider, steel one? If anyone has any experience in this, let me know please!
2) Mountain Bike- My dad has an older Giant Mountain bike he bought in the 80's. Pretty sure its all steel and its incredibly durable. He has kept it in very good condition and maintenance over the years and rides it frequently to work most days. The only thing I don't like about it is that obviously heavier and it has a straight handlebar system whereas I would prefer a drop system. But all in all it is a very solid bike.
3) Build- A friend of mine who toured from Georgia to Texas one summer has offered to sell me his touring frame for $250. He has worked in a bike shop for a number of years and knows his stuff pretty well and has told me if I buy all the parts to build a new bike from scratch he would do all the labor setting it up for free. I like this option a lot except that I am currently saving all my money for this trip already and I am not sure if I will have enough to buy food/supplies/gear on top of a frame and new bike parts for $1000+ or so.
4) Rent- This is where you guys would come in. I've been wanting to do a tour for a number of years and now and I finally have the chance this summer. The only thing is after it is completed, I will go back to being a student for a while and won't have a lot of time to do any tours in the near future after this summer and hence why I am skeptical of forking out an extra grand on a bike I might not get to use. So if anyone living around me (Texas- Dallas, Houston, Austin, S.A) areas wouldn't mind making an arrangement with me where I could rent your bike for this summer tour I would greatly appreciate it. Obviously I know this seems sketchy to ask a bunch of strangers on the internet to borrow their bike, but if will I'm sure we could reach an agreement that is both fair financially and respectful to your equipment.
Thanks guys, let me know what y'all think!

With a current population of some 12 million, Tokyo is by far the largest city in 21st century Japan and one of the charms of Tokyo is to be found in the combination of the traditional and historical sites sitting side by side amidst the ultramodern urban landscape.
To that end, there are many places in Tokyo with their own unique character: the Shitamachi (older and more traditional) districts in and around Asakusa and Ueno. The shopping zones of Ginza, Aoyama, Shinjuku and Shibuya and of course other well known areas for visitors to shop or eat till they drop such as Nihombashi, Akihabara, Odaiba, Harajuku, Roppongi and Ikebukuro. For visitors and inhabitants, Tokyo has something for everyone.

One Storage and Two Quadcore Blades from Sun
Sun Microsystems has dropped three new Linux servers on the market: a storage module with 1.2 TBytes, a blade module with two AMD Opteron Quadcores and a blade server with two Intel Xeon Quadcores. A photo gallery shows them in detail.
The new Disk Module is touted by Sun as the first open storage blade machine. The provider markets this series as individually configurable storage devices with open source, adaptable software. The Blade 6000 holds eight serial attached SCSI (SAS) disk drives ranging from 73 to 146 Gbytes capacity that store about 1.2 TBytes of data. The SAS controller protects RAID 0, 1 and 2 levels. The storage server runs on Solaris 10 and Windows 2003/2008, but also on 64-bit RHEL 4.6 and 5.1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 as well as VMware 3.0.2 and 3.5.
The Blade X6240 Server supports up to 16 DIMM slots at 667 MHz with two- or four-Gbyte capacity. Up to two AMD Opteron Quadcore processors provide 512 Kbytes of L2 cache per CPU and yet another 2 MBytes of shared L3 cache. CPU energy consumption is a choice of 55W, 75W or 105W apiece. Two Base-T Ethernet ports bind to the external network and a 10/100 Base-T port to the management network. This Sun server offers a 32-bit RHEL 4.6 only. Like the Disk Module it also runs on 64-bit Solaris 10, Windows 2003/2008, 64-bit RHEL 5.1 and 64-bit SLES 9 and 10, along with the VMware ESX Server 3.5 alternative.
The Sun CP3250 Blade Server with Intel on board contains up to eight CPU cores with the Xeon LGA771 ATCA. A 12-Mbyte cache, an up to 24-Gbyte main memory consisting of six DIMM sockets, and a slot for type CF-2 Flash work together as memory.
The U.S. price list has the Blade 6000 module at around $1,600, the AMD Blade X6240 module at round $2,600 and the Intel CP3250 module at about $7,000. The webpages give contact information.

3. Don't Have A Theme, And Cut All The Montages
This is something of a more recent invention, thanks to producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron who produced the last two shows, which revolved around "heroes" and "movie musicals" for reasons that seem pretty arbitrary. And we can't think of anything more pointless than having a tacked-on theme for the ceremony; it adds precisely nothing to the evening. It only encourages more montages that are unrelated to anything that's actually nominated. We're all for including a bit of film history in the evening, but most of these montages don't stretch back more than ten years, and we can probably do without micro-snippets of "Kung Fu Panda" or "After Earth"—as we've said before, it surely doesn't make a difference between someone tuning in or not. So don't have a theme and believe us, no one will miss it. And, themed or not, enough with the montages in general.
4. Cut The In Memoriam Section
We're aware this isn't necessarily going to be the most popular suggestion, and it's one that caused a certain amount of internal debate. The In Memoriam section is the show's sole chance to pay respects to those that passed in the previous year, and is certainly responsible for some potent moments, such as last night's reel closing on Phillip Seymour Hoffman. But it's also not always done all that tastefully, as also evidenced this year, where the reel was followed by Bette Midler singing "Wind Beneath My Wings." And often, this portion of the show opens up something of a can of worms, when it comes down to the choice of who's included and who isn't (there were inevitable complaints about the exclusion of Tom Clancy, and Alain Resnais). So why not do away with it altogether? The nod to Sarah Jones, the crew member killed in an accident a few weeks back, which wasn't part of the main montage but followed on-screen after Midler's song, and which led to an extended version of the presentation online, showed that in this day and age, you can use the internet to make everyone happy. So why not keep it online, and stop the applause-measuring, the debates over who was worth including and who wasn't, and the mood-stalling nature of squeezing in quiet moments of reflection in an evening of jocular self-celebration.
5. Go Back To 5 Best Picture Nominees
Again, we have mixed feelings about this one. Though it was done mainly because of falling ratings, and because "The Dark Knight" had missed out on a nod, the expansion of the Best Picture field to ten has had some boons. It's hard to imagine movies like "Winter's Bone," "Amour," "The Tree Of Life" or even something like "Her" this year making the cut with only five slots, and it's nice to see smaller films showcased in that way alongside more obvious awards fare. But it's also lead to some pretty questionable fare making the cut too ("Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," for instance), and may have had repercussions beyond that. Mark Harris persuasively argued at Grantland that a wider Best Picture field has actually led to fewer films being recognized, with the 44 nominations in the major categories being spread between only twelve films. And as we saw last night, even with the Best Picture nominees being grouped into three to be "presented," an expanded field also takes up more time, so for the benefit of the show if nothing else, why not revert to five? It makes those five feel a little more "special," as it were, and in theory could make the show both more focused and more diverse in terms of the films that were getting picked.
Anything else you'd do if you were in charge? Let us know in the comments section below. — Jessica Kiang, Oliver Lyttelton

10 Most Fun Jobs NOT, Part 2.
Posted By Jim On 02/10/2006 @ 7:00 pm In Career,Personal Finance | 1 Comment
This is a continuing but brief series about some article FMF discovered on CareerBuilder about the ten most fun jobs [3], I'm just playing the opposite side.
The second most fun job listed is a Proposition Player. These are the guys that help fill up a poker table when the room is looking a little light and needs to have some more action. You gamble with your own money and you're paid for your time spent there, usually not that much too. The article does quote a rate of $30/hr which is pretty good, especially if you're into poker. What's the downside? If you can't play poker, what you lose is your own money. If you can, well if you're on a cold streak and want to get up, you can't (at least not with the flexibility you do when you're not on the payroll). For a regular joe, poker is fun when you're knocking back a few beers with your friends… not when you're paid $30/hr to play against people who want to take all of your money.

Until recently, Margo True, food editor for Sunset magazine, hadn't done more gardening than tend to a pot of basil in New York when she worked at Saveur. Today, she's got a year-and-a-half of vegetable and fruit gardening, chicken rearing, bee-hive caring and even cow milking under her belt and is the author of the new book The One-Block Feast: An Adventure in Food from Yard to Table (Ten Speed, $25).

TALLAHASSEE, FL- May 24, 2011
Florida TaxWatch President and CEO Dominic Calabro today released the annual Turkey Watch report. Florida TaxWatch has been releasing this report annually since 1983. The report spotlights legislative projects placed in the budget without proper opportunity for public review and debate, which circumvent lawfully established procedures, or which non-competitively benefit a very limited special interest or local area of the state. The "budget turkey" label does not condemn a project's worthiness, but instead focuses on the budget process, including instances where the Legislature has not followed its own policies and procedures to ensure the highest standards of accountability and government efficiency.
This year Florida TaxWatch has identified 105 appropriations worth $203 million as budget turkeys, the most since 2007. This year's Turkey List consists largely of appropriations to specific organizations that were added in conference and appropriations that bypassed established selection processes or competitive bidding. Many of these were added late in the conference - even after the conference committees had finished their work and unresolved issues were "bumped" to the leadership.
"The 2011 Legislature was ambitious and achieved worthwhile goals, including huge reforms in education, Medicaid, criminal justice and the state pension system, reorganizing government and strengthening the state's economic development system," said Calabro. "While our leaders should be commended for making many tough, unpopular decisions in the best interest of Floridians this year, their achievements make the high number of Turkeys disappointing. In one of the toughest budget years on record, our leaders should have been as disciplined and consistent with taxpayer money as Florida families are forced to be with their own budgets."
One of the most unfortunate side effects to the Turkeys-especially in a tight budget year-is that cuts to essential state services could have been lessened without these projects. While not all of the $203 million in turkeys could be used in other parts of the budget--$65 million comes from bond proceeds--$71 million in general revenue turkeys could have been easily spent elsewhere and the non-bonding total of $138 million (GR and trust funds) could have been spent with further legislative action. Here are just a few alternatives to this year's turkeys:
- Student Funding - $138 million could increase per student funding for K-12 by $53.
- Medicaid Cuts - Eliminate most of the 6.5 percent Medicaid reimbursement rate cut to nursing homes worth $163 million.
Saving Transportation Jobs - Using the savings from general revenue alone, the sweep of the State Transportation Trust Fund could have been cut almost in half, savings thousands of jobs.
- Helping All Florida Employers - $91 million could have paid the interest due in 2012 on the federal loans the state took to prop up the
Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund. This could have provided some relief to employers who are facing massive increases in their unemployment compensation tax rates.
- Tax Relief - Offset the first year cash reduction in revenues from reducing the corporate income tax rate from 5.5 percent to 4.5 percent.

|Wrestlers prepare for Lexington, Neb. Invite
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
HHS wrestlers prepare this week for one of Coach Duane Stroh's favorite tournaments in Lexington, Neb.
Two varsity tournaments in one feature A and B competition. "This just fits our team so well," said Stroh, noting the strong kids compete in the A action, while the less experienced wrestlers are bracketed into the B tournament.
Last week was definitely the team's best week of practice, and Stroh said Monday he hopes this week will be good, as well.
He was encouraged at the Jan. 16 Poudre Valley tournament in Fort Collins, where four Dragons wrestled well. Stroh said he hopes by the time regionals roll around, the whole team will look excellent.
Chad Stroh had an excellent day Saturday, winning the 135-lb. championship. "He's starting to pick up momentum and is looking real good," said coach Stroh.
At 152 lbs., Cade Garrison finished second in what coach Stroh called an outstanding tournament for the senior wrestler.
Luke Garrett had a great day at 171 lbs., narrowly losing his last match by one point to take fourth.
Also placing for the Dragons was Frank Diaz at 103 lbs., who took sixth.
Mark Edmonds, who was injured in Jan. 9 competition, did not see action at Poudre Valley. Early this week, coach Stroh said Edmonds' participation at Lexington is still questionable.
Nine teams competed at Poudre Valley, and the Dragons had a slightly better than average weekend in the tournament, said Stroh.
Competition for HHS wrestlers gets tougher in each tourney leading up to the Big Show which is set for Feb. 18-20 at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
Individual results
103 lbs.—Frank Diaz placed sixth. He pinned Brennan McCool of Wiggins in 3:36, was pinned by Keegan Gavaldon of Fort Collins in :36, was pinned by Matt O'Donnell of Poudre Valley in 3:31 and was pinned in 4:09 by Chris Aranott of Fort Collins.
Coach Stroh noted Diaz improves every week. He was ahead 8-0 in his final match, but got caught and pinned for a heartbreaking loss.
125 lbs.—Francisco Diaz showed marked improvement. He just wasn't finishing his moves, said Stroh.
Diaz lost a 3-11 decision to Ronnie Toplyn of Poudre Valley and was pinned in 3:50 by Hunter Bell of Bennett.
135 lbs.—Chad Stroh wrestled real well to win the championship. His final match wasn't his greatest, but in other bouts during the day, he scored 10-12 points, then ended it with a pinning combination, said coach Stroh.
Chad pinned Anthony Meyers of Doherty in :36, pinned Zach Champlain of Frederick in 2:30 and won an 8-5 decision over Adam Barela of Fort Collins.
140 lbs.—Brian Strong showed marked improvement on his moves, said Stroh. "He's learning new things, and I'm excited for him and his potential," said the coach.
Strong lost a 4-13 decision to Devin Dunnum of Fort Collins and lost a 0-10 decision to Eric McKenzie of Poudre Valley.
145 lbs.—Ben Martinez was pinned in 3:30 by Aaron Jesser of Fort Collins and was pinned in 3:05 by Caleb Copeland of Bennett.
Coach Stroh praised Martinez for his hard work and great attitude. He is a small 145-lb. wrestler and will have a chance to wrestle at 135 lbs. in the B tourney in Lexington this weekend.
152 lbs.—Cade Garrison placed second in an outstanding tournament. He tech-falled Lane Venzke of Wiggins 18-3, decisioned Aaron Erker of Wiggins 11-7 and was pinned in 3:28 by Cyrus Massoudi of Fort Collins.
In league tourney action Jan. 7, Erker pinned Garrison in the third period, so the semifinal win Saturday was a great one. He controlled the whole match. Stroh said he looked real good, real clean and is getting better and healthier every week. Garrison led in his final match before he got caught on the bottom.
171 lbs.—Luke Garrett placed fourth in a great day at Poudre Valley. Coach Stroh said Garrett had the toughest bracket of the tournament. His first match was a tough one, which he lost 8-13 to Clay Roth of Poudre Valley.
He battled with highly-ranked Cole Knutson of Wiggins, wrestling extremely well for a 7-4 win. Garrett suffered a heartbreaking 7-8 loss to Gordy Pisciotta of Regis in his quest for third place. Coach Stroh said Garrett was down by three or four points and came from behind in the third period, but still trailed by one at the end.
Garrett is getting momentum and confidence and is looking really good and solid, said Stroh.
189 lbs.—Casey Sage struggled a little, and just couldn't get his mojo going on his feet, said coach Stroh. He showed marked improvement while on the bottom, and will work on gaining confidence on his feet and on top, added the coach.
Sage was pinned in :52 by Noah Hartman of Doherty and was pinned in 4:16 by Mike Whitley of Regis.

American's Daniel Munoz
Dec. 6, 2012
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - American tied the score late in regulation and scored the last four points in the second overtime to win at UMBC 73-70 on Thursday.
The Eagles were up eight points at halftime in the back-and-forth game. They fell behind by four in the second half, then used an 8-0 run to take a 54-50 lead with 7:15 to play. UMBC came back to go ahead 62-60 with 1:28 left, but the Eagles were able to send the game to overtime on a layup by Daniel Munoz with 32 seconds to play.
UMBC tied the score in the first overtime in the final minute, and took a 70-69 lead with 3:21 to play in the second overtime. American did not allow another point, with John Schoof hitting the game-winning free throws with 2:06 to play and adding two more with 10 seconds left as American held on for the 73-70 win. The Eagles forced a turnover and three missed shots in the final minutes, including a three-pointer to tie that was off the mark in the closing seconds.
Schoof and Munoz led the Eagles with 19 points apiece, while Stephen Lumpkins added 11 points and 10 rebounds. American has won two of its last three games.
Two teams are in action on Friday with Lafayette visiting Fairleigh Dickinson and Navy heading to Mount St. Mary's.
The recap and box score from Thursday's game are included below.

I am trying to use the instructions here to install a pre-released version of a gem with bundler.
The "bundle install" output lists the gem as getting installed, but "gem list" fails to find it.
My Gemfile:
source :gemcutter
gem 'sinatra', '1.1.0', :git => 'http://github.com/sinatra/sinatra.git'
gem 'RedCloth', '4.2.3'
Here is a gist with the rest of my sample code.
Has anyone gotten this scenario to work?
NOTE: I am also using RVM (on OS X). bundle show does list the gem (and dependencies) as existing, but I am not able to properly resolve them.


text: I just got back from spending a week in Belize. This was my second vacation to San Pedro and my second time staying at Caribbean Villas. I went back because the staff is friendly and makes me feel right at home. The room was clean and was kept clean every day. Another plus over some places is free Wi-fi and free bicycle rental. I will undoubtedly stay there again next year.

Landsdowne - Sanderson (RSA)
Built in 1969, the Sanderson residence is part of the Lansdowne complex. With 24 single rooms and 12 double rooms, Carroll is home to 48 students each year.
Lansdowne's Sanderson residence is named for Elma Sanderson-Mongin, who taught French at UVic's predecessor Victoria College from 1920 to 1939. She died in 1951.
The Lansdowne complex is named in honour of the Lansdowne campus where UVic's predecessor, Victoria College, offered classes from 1946 to 1963. Today that campus is home to Camosun College. The Lansdowne residences consist of six four-storey buildings that house a total of 280 students in single and double rooms.
