Imagine if the music in America had been controlled by the government. Which artists would have still been able to make it? What albums would have been denied release? This is a thought-provoking hypothetical because American music has been so much about breaking barriers and defining new sounds. More than any other art, entertainment, media or industry, music illustrates the freedom we have in this country.
In Iran, they haven't been so fortunate. Since the country's revolution in 1979, pop music has been banned, female vocals have been restricted and creative innovation has been curbed. All music in Iran is regulated and censored by Ershad, the Ministry of Islamic Guidance, which has separate committees for judging an artist's musical style and lyrical content. To get approval from the government, a song has to pass each committee's standards, and that is a rarity these days. Additionally, live performances are also scrutinized, with Ershad monitoring the appearance and actions of artists on stage. Hope is not lost, though. While the Iranian government controls official release of music, it does not appear to forbid the existence of bands and artists who do their own thing. For those who can not get approval, there is now the benefit of the internet. While this outlet may not earn the performers money, it does keep expression and experimentation thriving in the country. For a nation with half its population under 30, the importance of this new music underground is substantial.
All of this information is very interesting, but it would be more appropriately presented in a literary format, as opposed to on film. Sounds of Silence consists mainly of interviews with bands, artists, journalists and record store owners, and the result is a very stationary experience. The only visual mobility the film achieves is through its inclusion of a few music videos, and even then it stagnantly frames the videos by filming the websites they appear on instead of editing them into the doc itself. At 97 minutes, the film is not long, but because it remains at a virtual stand-still throughout that time, it seems to go on forever.
Documentaries have a habit of being too chatty, but Sounds of Silence goes overboard. It fails because it doesn't fit the cinematic requirement to show not tell, which applies just as much to non-fiction film as fiction film. Without a narrative, Sounds of Silence is just a series of connected facts and commentaries that have no compelling sustenance. It is appalling that so many people have had to struggle for artistic acceptance and exposure, and many of those spotlighted in the film are worthy of being heard, but the film disappointingly does not do them the justice they deserve.

The Canon EOS C100 is a professional camcorder with a Digital SLR-sized sensor and interchangeable EF mount lenses to provide film-like performance on HD video. It's part of the Canon EOS Cinema range, a range that adapts the video shooting prowess of DSLRs like the Canon EOS 5D Mark II in a body more suitable for video. The C100 is the new, much more affordable entry-level member of the range.
The question you might be asking is: why people would want to shoot video on a digital camera in the first place? It all comes down to sensor size. The sensors inside DSLRs are absolutely huge compared to those traditionally found in even professional-grade camcorders, which generally have three sensors to keep the colour signals cleanly separated, but each one is usually 1/3 or 1/2-inch diagonally.
The sensor in a Full-Frame DSLR is around 50 times the area of a 1/3-inch sensor, which has two important results. First, there is a greater surface area to collect light, so the sensor is much more sensitive, with particular benefits in low light.
It also means the aperture can be wider, so you can achieve shorter depths of field. This leaves your subject in focus, whilst background and foreground are blurred, an effect called 'bokeh' that is considered attractive and film-like. You can use this to 'pull' focus, too, drawing the viewer's attention by changing the focal point.
In short, a large sensor opens up a range of creative posibilities ordinary camcorders can't match.
The Canon EOS Cinema C100 doesn't have a sensor quite as large as a full-frame DSLR like the 5D Mk II, but it is still pretty big. Instead, it's called a Super 35mm CMOS, which means it's somewhere between full-frame and the APS-C sensors found in the majority of DSLRs, such as the Canon EOS 700D. It's still around 27 times the surface area of a 1/3-inch CMOS, so has similar advantages for sensitivity and depth of field.
The Canon EOS C100 sensor captures at 9.84MP, of which 8.29MP are used when shooting video so it can shoot Full HD, 1080p video.
The other major benefit of the Canon EOS C100 is its ability to use any lenses with Canon's EF mount. Canon has created a special range of Cinema lenses for the new camcorders, which are great but also rather expensive. Instead, you can use standard DSLR lenses, some of which cost under £100, although you're better off going for one of the excellent L-series units, such as the 24-70mm F/2.8 lens that was supplied with our review sample.
At this point, you may be looking at the Canon EOS C100 price of the C100 and wondering why you would want to opt for this model when you could pick up two or three DSLR cameras instead for the same money. Canon's pricing has met with some negative feedback, but the choice comes back to having real camcorder features.
Most DSLRs only shoot about 10 minutes of footage per file, so aren't ideal for shooting, for example, an hour-long interview. At the same time, all of the C100's camcorder competitors from Panasonic and Sony have smaller sensors, too.
Another important consideration is audio connectivity. DSLRs have terrible on-board audio, and just a minijack for connecting an external microphone, if at all. You can purchase add-ons to convert a minijack to a professional XLR connection, but you still probably won't have manual level control on the DSLR.
The Canon EOS C100 comes with a carry-handle attachment that incorporates a decent stereo microphone, but also provides two XLR connections with 48V phantom power for attaching external devices, physical dials for adjusting audio levels manually, and an accessory shoe for connecting a directional microphone or wireless receiver.

Usenet Mock NBA Draft
The Usenet Mock NBA Draft is to provide Internet folks to take the opportunity to take the part of a GM, make a selection ,and give a detailed analysis of the pick. The draft follows the real NBA draft for the first round. To allow teams without a first round pick to be allowed to participate in the draft, we have a pseudo second round which is made up of teams without first round picks.

What Is A Mother's Grief Worth?Sierra Black
A stillbirth is a tragedy. A baby's life is cut short before it even begins, and the loss can tear a mother apart.
Now, some mothers going through that personal hell have legal recourse to seek damages for their suffering. In cases where stillbirth was not simply an unavoidable tragedy but the result of an error by hospital staff, New York mothers can now sue for malpractice.
The first few cases of malpractice suits related to stillbirths are making their way through New York's courts, and judges are grappling with a tough question: just how much is a mother's grief worth?
It seems crass to assign a dollar value to the life of a stillborn baby, but that's just what those deciding these cases need to do. The New York Times reports on the progress of two cases that may set benchmarks for future malpractice suits.
The first case to be decided was that of a Brooklyn woman who lost her baby due to hospital errors. She was awarded $1 million in damages. Now, a Bronx woman is seeking a similar settlement. Lawyers for the hospital in that case are resisting, while the woman's lawyers claim the first award set the bar for damages in these cases.
This sounds like a deeply technical legal issue, but at the heart of it are mothers who are struggling to come to terms with a terrible and preventable loss. One of them told the NYT:
The Brooklyn mother, Lucia Ferreira, now 39, said in an interview that at the hospital she had felt she did not matter as her pregnancy spiraled toward its horrifying end.
"The case helped me have a voice," she said. "If it wasn't for that, things would have been pushed under the rug."
In 2004, a New York court changed the state's position on cases like this. Previously, you couldn't sue over a non-financial, non-physical injury. Then the courts decided that women who lost a baby due to hospital negligence deserved legal recourse even if the woman herself was not physically injured.
These cases are, blessedly, relatively rare. Seven years after that court finding, the first handful of them are being settled now. For the women affected by these rulings, however, the outcome of these cases will have a huge impact. Lawyers for the women in these cases hope that setting a high price on stillbirth malpractice cases will cause hospitals to be doubly vigilant in preventing these tragedies from occurring.
What do you think? How can the courts set a price on a mother's grief after losing a baby?

Create a MySpace Playlist at MixPod.com
it's the last tunesday of 2010! i was thinking back on the new albums that came out this year, and it's always interesting to me how listening to certain music can bring back such vivid memories of specific moments. for instance, the local natives album gorilla manor – i bought it soon after breaking my ankle — and it reminds me of the first time i was able to drive again after the injury. i had it on in my car, it was sunny and spring was on its way… happy times. lcd soundsystem's latest album will always remind me of sitting right here at my desk as they soundchecked next door before doing an end-of-summer show at the navy yard.
so many memories of the past year came rushing back as i compiled some of my favorite songs of 2010 for this playlist. i got to go to some great shows this year, and we had fp girls representing at so many festivals – SXSW, coachella, bonnaroo, wanderlust, XPN, lollapalooza and austin city limits…
what was your favorite song or album of the last year? what's your favorite music memory from 2010?

Mencap's response to (DCSF) Transforming short breaks for families with disabled children
Wednesday 16 January 2008
Mencap's response to (DCSF) Transforming short breaks for families with disabled children.
Dame Jo Williams, chief executive of Mencap, said:
"This announcement of short breaks for disabled children is a positive move for families with a disabled child. Many families who care for children or adults with severe, profound and multiple learning disabilities get no short breaks at all.
"The main priority now is that these pathfinder authorities set up good short break services as a matter of urgency in order to enable families to go on caring. Mencap's Breaking Point report found that 8 out of 10 families who are caring for somebody with a learning disability said that they had reached Breaking Point and felt they could not cope anymore. It is essential that the funding for the short break services for families with disabled children paves the way for breaks for families with an adult son or daughter, who also need breaks from a lifetime of caring."

"He is stone-blind," he said at last. "Yes -- he is stoneblind -- is Mr. Edward."
I had dreaded worse. I had dreaded he was mad. I summoned strength to ask what had caused this calamity.
"It was all his own courage, and a body may say, his kindness, in a way, ma'am: he wouldn't leave the house till everyone else was out before him. As he came down the great staircase at last, after Mrs. Rochester had flung herself from the battlements, there was a great crash -- all fell. He was taken out from under the ruins, alive, but sadly hurt: a beam had fallen in such a way as to protect him partly; but one eye was knocked out, and one hand so crushed that Mr. Carter, the surgeon, had to amputate it directly. The other eye inflamed: he lost the sight of that also. He is now helpless, indeed -- blind and a cripple."
"Where is he? Where does he now live?"
"At Ferndean, a manor-house, on a farm he has, about thirty miles off: quite a desolate spot."
"Who is with him?"
"Old John and his wife: he would have none else. He is quite broken down, they say."
"Have you any sort of conveyance?"
"We have a chaise, ma'am, a very handsome chaise."
"Let it be got ready instantly; and if your post-boy can drive me to Ferndean before dark this day, I'll pay both you and him twice the hire you usually demand."
T HE manor-house of Ferndean was a building of considerable antiquity, moderate size, and no architectural pretensions, deep buried in a wood. I had heard of it before. Mr. Rochester often spoke of it, and sometimes went there. His father had purchased the estate for the sake of the game covers. He would have let the house: but could find no tenant, in consequence of its ineligible and insalubrious site. Ferndean then remained uninhabited and unfurnished; with the exception of some two or three rooms fitted up for the

A star for many years in his native Denmark prior to crossing over with the villain role in the first relaunched Bond movie, "Casino Royale," Mads Mikkelsen, attending the Marrakech Film Festival as part of the Tribute to Scandinavian Cinema, has for quite some time now been one of our very favorite working actors. From early collaborations with Nicolas Winding Refn (the 'Pusher' Trilogy, "Valhalla Rising") and Susanne Bier ("After The Wedding," "Open Hearts") right through to supporting roles in Hollywood fare ("The Three Musketeers," "Clash of the Titans"), Mikkelsen is often the best thing in his movies, even if he's only in them briefly.
But of course these last couple of years have kicked it up a notch further, with Mikkelsen taking two very different roles (almost mirror images, in fact), one of which broadens his appeal by bringing him weekly into U.S. living rooms as a guilty, evil, brilliant man unsuspected by those around him, the other of which gained him even more arthouse credibility and the Best Actor award at Cannes 2012 as an innocent everyman wrongly accused of a terrible crime. Those two projects are NBC's hit show "Hannibal" and Thomas Vinterberg's "The Hunt," respectively, and in combination they make a pretty compelling case for the actor's range and charisma. And cheekbones.
With a small group of journalists, we got to talk to the energetic, often-smoking Mikkelsen (Scandinavians love their cigarettes; a key learning from this year's festival) who is both garrulous and relaxed doing press rounds—a testament to the fact that while his fame may have only gone international in his forties, Mikkelsen has plenty of practice at this sort of thing. It was a conversation that touched various aspects of his current career, from the allure of evil in "Hannibal" and a teasing glimpse into season 2, to his relationship to the recent "Scandinavian invasion." But we started by talking a little about the next film we'll see him in, "The Salvation," directed by fellow Dane Kristian Levring, co-starring fellow "Casino Royale" alum Eva Green along with Brosnan-era Bond villain Jonathan Pryce and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (no known connection to the Bond franchise).
So tell us what we can expect from "The Salvation"?
We finished that last year, actually this year—just before Summer. It's about two Danish brothers who migrated to America in the 1870s. They're hunters and they're working for 7 years. I call my family over, I have a wife and son who've obviously grown since I've been away, then terrible things happen and I clean up. It's a classical western and takes place with a lot of different nationalities like America in the 1870s [would have had].
[2014 Cannes competitor] "Michael Kohlhaas" [our review here] is a kind of western too. Is it a genre you're particularly drawn to?
I've never been specifically attached to westerns, but there are those I like—one of the best westerns I've seen is "Unforgiven." I think the genre has something extremely powerful, that can allow them to talk about good and evil in a very straight way. Obviously in a modern drama we are blurring [that dichotomy] for good reasons, but there are good people and there are bad people in the world.
Tell us about working with NBC on "Hannibal."
A really interesting experience, and very hard work. TV is obviously so different from film, because it's a never-ending process it keeps going, you keep receiving new pages. It's so different film when you have a script that goes from there to there and you work out how to do it and then you do it. But with TV we don't necessarily know, where there, it's somewhere out there, so we can't make the same course. But we can explore a character that will go on for a long time in a different way, so I've enjoyed it tremendously.
Didn't you once claim that as a result of bad TV experiences you would not go back to the medium?
Did I? I can't recall. I did a TV show called "Unit 1," it wasn't a bad experience but, yes, the first season I didn't have a good time because I was coming from Nicolas Winding Refn films where the corners were sharp and radical, but now we had round corners. You can't show blood—it's the Danish TV syndrome: you must appeal to the 8-year-old and the 90-year-old to see the show. It was frustrating because I liked to do the real thing, but after a year I accepted this, so I enjoyed the second year. What we are doing on "Hannibal" is not so rounded ... it's quite radical.
What can you tell us about Season 2?
Not much because it's a secret other than the character of Will Graham is now in jail, the tables are turned and he has to play me now to see if he can get out. The question is how much I'm aware of that. It's quite explosive and quite dramatic what happens in the second season.
Have you ever spoken to Anthony Hopkins about the character?
No, I did not wish it.
How does Hannibal differ from other "bad guy" TV characters, and why do you think we've an ongoing fascination with them?
A lot of these shows (which I've not seen) seem to be about a bad guy that's taking out really bad people, it's the justice of mankind. With Hannibal that's not the case, he's taking out really, really nice people! Obviously, it's based on the book but I call him a fallen angel: he sees beauty in what he does, he sees art in it. Why the fascination? Well we can ask ourselves why we invent God and then ten minutes later we invent Satan—why? Because we need him, there's something fascinating about the other side of the coin.
How much of your time is TV now taking, and with the schedule are you missing out on other roles?
It's supposedly half a year, but that doesn't always work out, we have a break and catch up, but ideally it's six months.
Every time you say yes to something you're missing out on something else if there is something else, but I don't look at it like that. 99% of my colleagues are not working, so I'd be a very spoilt man to say I would rather be doing this or this. I like doing it, but if something very interesting comes my way, then I try to make space for it.

Summers in the United States – and especially in Alaska - are a much anticipated and celebrated time of year. School is out, the barbecues are hot, the campgrounds are filled and we are outside as much as possible – rain or shine. These are the months when we most appreciate our freedoms and we here at Kids These Days! thought it the perfect time, too, to take a closer look at the American Kid. We hear a lot of anecdotes about the "kids these days" – that they're dropping out of school more, that they're not getting enough exercise, that they're using drugs less often – and maybe you've heard one or all of these statements lately, but what is true and what is not when it comes to how our country's children are really doing according to the facts?

Laura Speer is the Associate Director for Policy Reform and Advocacy at the Annie E Casey Foundation and has primary responsibility for the National KIDS COUNT Project, she joined us by phone from Baltimore, Maryland.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
In 2005, the Max Hueber Verlag celebrates 50 years in publishing as a specialist for German as a Foreign Language – an anniversary we feel best
characterised by the motto »Sprachen überwinden Grenzen«, which, in its various shades of meaning, conveys our aim of helping to cross frontiers, remove barriers and overcome limitations via our commitment to foreign language learning. It was in 1955 that my father Ernst Hueber initiated our success story by publishing Deutsche Sprachlehre für Ausländer by Dora Schulz and Heinz Griesbach, a course that crossed frontiers and overcame limitations for millions of teachers and students throughout the world. Ever since then Hueber has continued to set standards for excellence and innovation in all its German-as-a-Foreign-Language courseware.
»Sprachen überwinden Grenzen« is not just a simple motto, it reflects the whole
philosophy behind our organisation. Today, more than ever before, it is important
to strive for better understanding amongst the disparate nations and cultures of
the world.
Real understanding is not achieved easily. It requires communication – and the
use of language and a knowledge of foreign languages is the key. If we can look
back over the past decades and say we succeeded in handing this key to so
many people from so many different backgrounds and nationalities, then we
have achieved that aim in no small measure and can be justly proud.

The Myth of Targeting Your "Problem Area"
Most people have areas of their body they wish they could change. There are hundreds of workouts that promise to tone your tummy, trim your waist or tighten your butt. It's certainly possible to build muscle in these areas, but an article from CNN points out that you may not be able to change the underlying shape of your body, even with significant weight loss.
"People come in with unrealistic expectations from magazines and spot-reducing," says Gary Foster, director of Temple University's Center for Obesity Research and Education. "That doesn't happen. When you start to lose fat, it's proportionate throughout your body, whether it's your neck, waist, ankle circumference. You'll come out smaller but have the same body shape."
In other words, a person who is pear-shaped will remain a pear, and a person who is apple-shape will remain an apple. "Basically, when we lose weight, we lose weight all over in exactly the proportion that's distributed throughout our body," says Susan Fried, director of the Boston Obesity and Nutrition Research Center at the Boston University School of Medicine. CT scans, dexa scans and MRIs reveal that as a person loses weight, fat is reduced evenly around the body.

Researchers at the University of Utah have developed a motion-controlled game that helps children with cancer cope with their illness by promoting good mental health and physical fitness. The game, which was developed by chemistry professor Grzegorz Bulaj, is called PE Interactive (PE stands for "patient empowerment").
Bulaj says the inspiration came from watching an eight-year-old boy (who had been diagnosed with a brain tumor) using an incentive spirometer to blow a ball upward as far as he could. The medical device helps with lung strength and is one way doctors help patients avoid debilitating illnesses such as pneumonia.
Bulaj contacted hematologist-oncologist Carol Bruggers, who works in pediatric oncology at Primary Children's Medical Center, and began kicking around the idea of a game. "After talking to Carol," Bulaj said, "the idea was defined like this: We activate the circuits in the brain that connect the part responsible for keeping us highly motivated to the part that contains motor activity." Through associating physical activity with motivational stimuli, Bulaj says, "a new circuit of positive impulses would then be developed that would make patients feel stronger as they fight an illness. Possibly more important, they'll have fun doing it."
The next step was to conduct some research on the concept of "patient empowerment," or the idea that a patient feels they can change something even what it seems impossible. She uncovered statistics in which stroke patients made significant progress in physical therapy focused on patient empowerment techniques.
"Patients who are more empowered are presumably more likely to be willing to fight their disease and maintain their treatment for a longer period of time," Bruggers explains.
She notes that hope is a major factor in treating cancer patients. Her hope is that her project helps to stave off the sense of hopelessness that many cancer patients feel.
"You know, this project was very exciting for me because I have a chance to be part of making something useful and fun for kids that will potentially help a lot of people," adds Bruggers.
Bruggers then went on to find out about EAE, a nationally ranked program jointly owned by the Department of Film and Media Arts and the School of Computing, that teaches students how to make video games at the University of Utah.
"EAE is designed to challenge students and present them with real-world opportunities. This project fit the bill perfectly," says Roger Altizer who is one of the key developers of the PE Interactive Video Game.
Altizer is the director of game design and production for the EAE program. Altizer and other EAE faculty Robert Kessler and Craig Caldwell, gathered a team of five graduate students to develop the game. The graduate students – Laura Warner, Kurt Coppersmith, Brandon Davies, Wade Paterson and Jordan Wilcken – worked over the summer to create a five-level multiplayer game featuring original music, characters, and a story the offers inspiration and empowerment to its users. The game is also portable so it can be used in a hospital room.
In one part of the game, players use Move controllers to spread mortar and stack bricks together. The wall is meant to represent a patient working with their team of caregivers to build their immune system up as they fight their cancer. Bruggers plans to observe how patients and families interact with the game and collect data on patients' progress.

N-Dubz rapper Dappy broke down in tears and shouted 'Yes' after he avoided a jail term today when he was sentenced for assault and affray.
The singer was given a six-month sentence suspended for 18 months at Guildford Crown Court and ordered to do 150 hours community service. He was also ordered to pay £4,500 compensation and £2,000 in costs.
The 25-year-old had faced a maximum sentence of three years imprisonment after being convicted in connection with a brawl at a petrol station in Guildford.
The court heard during a nine-day trial last month that the pop star became angry and violent after two teenaged women "disrespected" him by refusing to get into his car to go to a party at his recording studios, sparking the fight which led to three men being injured.
The trial was told that Dappy, charged under his real name of Costadinos Contostavlos, was out on February 27 last year celebrating the release of his single Rockstar featuring Queen guitarist Brian May.
After spending the night in the VIP area of the Casino nightclub in Guildford drinking sambuca shots and Jack Daniels, the group headed back in three cars to the recording studios in Godalming, where Dappy was recording his debut solo album.
The group stopped at the Shell garage in Woodbridge Road, Guildford, at about 3.30am on February 28 where the violence erupted.
Brian Stork, prosecuting, said Dappy approached the two 19-year-olds, Grace Cochran and Serena Burton, sitting on the kerb outside the station shop and tried to persuade them to get into the car with him.
When they refused these advances and began to ridicule him by calling him "boring", Dappy became angry and called them "sluts".
He told the court: "They had shown me disrespect, a lot."
Dappy denied swearing and spitting at them and was found not guilty of two charges of common assault in relation to the spitting.
Mr Stork said a man called David Jenkins, who had been talking to the two women, stepped in to protect them but was spat at by Dappy.
This spitting, which hit Mr Jenkins, mades up the charge of assault by beating which Dappy was convicted of.
Mr Jenkins put Dappy in a headlock, leading to several other people joining in the fight, including co-defendants Kieran Vassell and Alfred Miller.
Mr Jenkins suffered several broken teeth in the fight while another man, Oliver Billson, suffered a swollen eye and Christopher Gibson's nose was broken.
Dappy denied attempting to pick up the two women and told the court that he only spoke to them to promote his single.
He denied spitting at them and at Mr Jenkins and said his following actions were simply as self-defence to get out of the headlock.
Vassell denied affray and said he only acted to protect Dappy.
The defence said that Miss Cochran and Miss Burton were "unreliable witnesses" as they had sent Twitter and BlackBerry (BBM) messages saying they intended to sell their stories to the national newspapers.
Miss Burton also sent a message saying that she could not remember what happened and that she would "bullshit" when she gave evidence.
The court was told that Dappy had previous convictions for assault and possessing a bladed weapon.

In November 2005, he was sentenced to a community order for possessing a bladed weapon in a public place.
In September 2007, he was given 40 hours of community service for battery when he pushed a taxi driver following an argument in Camden, north London.
And in December 2008, he was given a four-week prison sentence suspended for 12 months and ordered to pay compensation for two battery offences which related to him spitting at two women.
Paul Greaney, defending Dappy, said a prison term would bring an end to his career as a singer.
He said: "It is inevitable now that he will not be able to visit or work in America.
"Furthermore, as a result of the convictions, certain important radio stations will not play his records.
"His earning capacity now is extremely limited and those responsible for his management believe a period of custody will bring his career to an end."
He added: "People depend on Mr Contostavlos, I mention not only his family, his mother and brother and his partner and children but a number of people who work for him.
"He is terrified, in particular, not of what will happen to him but that he will not be able to provide financially for his family and others. That is a genuine concern he has expressed to me."
He continued: "These proceedings have had a quite massive impact on Mr Contostavlos and the court would be entitled to conclude that he has learnt a very important lesson indeed and he has shown real insight into the impact on his victims of his behaviour that night."
Mr Greaney added that Dappy had shown this by intervening on Twitter when the two female witnesses received "extremely unpleasant" messages from some of the rapper's supporters.
He said: "This defendant, on that conduct being apparent to him, went on his own Twitter account to post a message to make it clear that he deplored this behaviour and that no fan or associate of his should indulge in that conduct and that did have a real effect and did help bring it to an end."

Pharrell says he's changed some of his beliefs about himself as he's progressed through life.
"When I was young, I thought I knew everything," Pharrell, 41, says in an interview with W. "Now, I'm not sure if I know anything."
The rapper-producer-singer appears on the cover of the magazine's Art issue. During the profile, Pharrell speaks about his Vivienne Westwood-designed hat.
"It's a strange thing about the hat," Pharrell says. "I went into the store World's End in London with my friend Ronnie Newhouse to buy a pair of boots for my wife. While we were there, Ronnie [a creative director who understands the power and history of fashion like few others] told me that the hat was designed by Vivienne Westwood and was championed by her then husband, Malcolm McLaren, who managed the Sex Pistols. I bought two hats that day, and I wore one in a TV interview soon after. No one said anything about the hat. They didn't notice."
Although fashion has been the point of many discussions surrounding Pharrell this year due to his Westwood hat, Pharrell also explains that his first love remains music.
"Music will always be my first love," he says. "But the one thing I've learned is that this life is a movie and I am a cocreator. It's a big movie, and there's a lot of creativity going on. As long as I play my part, it won't be over for quite a while."
Part of Pharrell's arsenal in music lies in Rap, of course. In this issue, the producer also explains how his understanding of Rap has helped him craft tracks in other genres.
"I realized that a lot of women didn't know how to fit in to the rhythm of Rap songs—they needed music to bend and curve a little bit," he says. "I was producing Robin Thicke, and he is a soulful White boy and I thought we could take some chances. That song ['Blurred Lines'] was what happened."

We no longer link to this site.
Young, supple breasts. Hot, round asses. Tight, sweet pussies. What do these things have in common? They are all parts on an 18-year-old chick and you can see them all on Just Over Eighteen. These incredible gals suck and fuck their way to loads of sticky cum for your viewing pleasure.
Since our last visit the site has gone through a complete redesign. It looks good and when you sign in you will see the latest updates right there in front of you. From there you can click on the "more updates" button or the "videos" link and you will be taken to all the main content. There are currently 662 movies.
Most of the scenes focus on hardcore blowjobs and fucking between couples, but also you can look forward to seeing plenty of threesomes, group sex and more. I even spotted a few masturbation scenes. All of the movies can be streamed in an embedded Flash player, as well as downloaded as MP4 files that provide HD playback.
Besides all those movie scenes, you also get access to 662 high-res picture sets that can be saved in Zip files. I'd say that roughly 100 images can be found in just about every set.
That plethora of extra porn comes from having access to well over 100 bonus sites. Many of them are part of the Mega Site Pass. Being such a large network, there is quite a decent variety of XXX action to look forward to. As for those that are teen-related, there are sites such as Sex For Grades, Exploited 18, Not So Innocent Teens, Real Teens Kissing and Schoolgirl Internal.
As far as updating goes, I am not sure what the deal is. They were updating every two days, but now it has been a little over a month since the last scene was added. I am hoping this is just a temporary glitch and that they will get back on track soon. Either way, there is plenty of action to keep you busy for a while and there are also all those extras! As long as non-exclusivity isn't a deal breaker for you, this is a membership worth considering.

The poster used a stock photo of a new one from the Specialized website with two photos of the old bike that he has. No way it's worth US$100.
the actual photos have a regular fork...the photo from specialized has a suspension fork
Actually the one listed looks more like a BMX/Single speed than a MTB, the other picture is a multi speed and has a suspended front end. The new one might be worth $300. The old one?
Ill give $5 for it and thats if its perfect lol
The pictures of the bike are from more than two years ago. Wonder how it looks now.
There's no way that bike is 20 foot. I don't care what the add says...
and in that last picture (the official looking one)... some of the seat is missing... looks painful
Nah I think it is just the color of the seat against the background, either that, or they can't photo shop worth a crap.:rolleyes:Quote:

I cam across and older Cycle Ops Roller Trainer on craigslist for what seems to be an ok price of $70, and would like to know if there is anything wrong with roller trainer that I might not know.
It Cycle Ops so I know its a good brand but looks to be there older 3 part hold, now they only fold in half. It looks like it has PVC drums, I have heard they will get warped in sunlight sometimes, should I worry about that? Doe the belts go bad on them much? Are they pretty loud, or is it just the tired noise? How does resistance really work, I cant seem to understand that?
I also ride a 26in wheel LHT that I am riding right now. Will it even work with it? I know the front fork support it comes with would be to high be a little bit.
I have been wanting a trainer for sometime, just to have fun on when I'm not doing anything at home. and a roller trainer seems like it would be more versatile, Because I have 26in wheels and my girlfriends bike is actually a internal geared hub 3 speed and can mount a standard frame trainer(i don't even know if she would even like it.
Anything would really help, with in the next couple hours I am going to check the trainer out later tonight. I attached a photo of the trainer.

New Hampshire Traffic Violations
Traffic violations are actions that break the rules of driving and often result in tickets. Some types of traffic offenses are minor. But other moving violations are considered serious offenses. If you find yourself charged with a ticket or misdemeanor traffic violation, a lawyer can help.
New Hampshire's Demerit Points System
New Hampshire's Division of Motor Vehicles uses a point system to track driver traffic offenses. Called demerit points, the number of points given depends on the traffic rule that was broken. Points given to drivers found guilty of traffic violations can be anywhere between 1 and 6, depending on the law disobeyed.
Examples of violations and points include:
- Aggravated DWI—6 points
- Abandoning a car—3 points
- Disobeying a police officer—6 points
- Failure to show police officer a license—2 points
- Improper passing—4 points
- Speeding—between 3 and 4 points, depending on how high over the posted limit
Demerit points stay on a driver's record for three years. Too many points can result in a driver's license being suspended or revoked.
Suspension of License for Traffic Tickets in New Hampshire
Penalties given for breaking the rules of the road vary. Drivers under age 18 can lose their licenses with fewer points than adult drivers. For instance, if a 17-year-old gets 12 points in two years, he or she can lose his or her license for up to 6 months. A driver over age 21 can lose his or her license for up to 6 months with 18 points in two years.
What Is a Habitual Offender?
The State of New Hampshire identifies habitual offenders. These drivers are people who break driving laws repeatedly and are noted as very poor drivers. Drivers that want to get this label removed from their driver records must request a hearing in writing.

Traffic tickets can result in costly fines or a suspended license. It is also expensive to reinstate a license if privileges are taken away. In addition, insurance rates can be affected. An attorney can examine any tickets in New Hampshire or out-of-state and help determine the best way to approach your tickets.

Madison Heights
Shop teacher focuses on real-world skills
By Andy Kozlowski
Posted November 7, 2012
MADISON HEIGHTS — The concern about America losing its competitive edge on the world stage often rears its head in talks about education. Talk to an industrial business like Ka-Wood Gear & Machine Co. in Madison Heights and you'll see why.
Finding employees with basic math skills has been difficult, according to Joe Kloka, third-generation owner of the family business that serves clients in automotive, aerospace, mining and machining.
"We're looking for very basic math," Kloka said. "Gears are complicated math-wise, but we don't do production here; there's a continual setup of parts involving simple ratios, basic sizes with gears, pitch diameters. There are formulas, but you need to know when something is wrong. We use calculators and computers, but you need to know when you push the button that something doesn't make sense.
"I'm talking like sixth-grade math," he said. "In the office, we get more complicated, using trigonometry and whatnot, but I'm looking at really basic math. We had some college guys come in and they didn't get it."
An example problem he gave is if a piece of clothing costs $36 normally and is 25 percent off, how much does it cost? Some of his job candidates struggle with such problems; they have decent grades in math but then completely flunk a simple test.
The son of an employee at Ka-Wood was one such case, though Kloka liked his attitude and arranged for a retired math teacher friend to help him out. At least a dozen others were turned down because of their lacking basic math skills.
Kloka said it's frustrating, and he's not the only one feeling it; many of the vendors who handle Ka-Wood's machining have expressed similar frustrations finding people who work with numbers.
"They're looking for people who have skills running machines like lathes, mills, and specifically CNC (computer numerical control)," Kloka said. "They're looking for people who have some training and skill level in that" and the math skill that goes with it.
Todd Losey, the metal and wood shop teacher at Lamphere High, has been talking to local manufacturers about the skills they want in potential hires, and he has been trying to incorporate those skills into the school curriculum.
"You're not building birdhouses, you're building machining parts designed on computers," Losey said. "Right now, our engineering lab is separate from our shop, which is how it was in society for a while." But integration, he said, is needed.
"I want students to see a product over the entire course of its life cycle," Losey said. "The way the old instruction went (in engineering) is you got really good at drawing parts and drew a lot of them. The other side (in shop) was, 'This is a drill press, this is how you use it,' and, 'This is a milling machine, this is how you use it,' rather than thinking about what part will solve the problem, and figuring out how to make it, test it and improve it."
Losey has been training his students in CAD (computer aided design), CAM (computer aided machining) and CNC. Larger companies like the Big Three auto companies utilize CAD-to-CAM pipelines, designing the parts in CAD and translating them to the G-code the factory uses in CAM. Smaller companies skip straight to CNC, which streamlines the process.
Losey wants his students to have experience with all of them. It's not enough to have the basic math skills, he said. They must also know what to do with them.
"And the scale doesn't matter," Losey said. "The small tabletop router we have in the classroom has CNC control and uses G-code, and it's the same as a quarter-million-dollar machine that's the size of a bedroom, in that they all run on the same language. If you understand one, you understand them all. And we need to show the kids it's relevant."

About Russian Elm Flooring
Sometimes, the unexpected can be astounding. If you're looking for flooring that will surprise and entice you, Russian Elm flooring might be the perfect type for you.
Russian Elm, which is also known as European White Elm, is a commonly found along major rivers in Central Europe. However, it spans eastward, crossing Russia and touching the western edges of Asia, giving the tree gets its alternative name.
Part of what makes Russian Elm special is its water-resistant ability and tendency to deter certain types of invasive pests. In parts of Europe, Russian Elm is specifically cultivated as butterfly havens, helping to restore fleeting populations of the beautiful, winged insects that have been depleted by the ravages of Dutch Elm diseases on other types of Elm.
Closely related to the traditional American Elm, this species is neither widespread or commonly found in the U.S. However, in places where people are lucky enough to get a glimpse of this hardy tree, it is a remarkable sight. Able to endure harsh weather conditions and grow to magnificent heights, Elm wood is reknown for its flexible qualities, easy to work with and mold. Russian Elm may not be as prominent as other well-known flooring types, but it is a mighty contender for a sturdy elm flooring option.
We offer engineered, hand-scraped Russian Elm flooring of different varieties, including Montelana, Marmont, Golden and Natural. Montelana is the darkest version of this stunning elm flooring series, a blackish-brown hue that stark and striking. Slightly lighter in color is Marmont, a deep brown color that conveys pure luxury. The beautiful tone of the Golden evokes warmth, instilling instant heat to the coldest space. Natural is the lightest shade in the Russian Elm collection, bringing the gorgeous aspects of nature into an interior space.
Each variety of Russian Elm offers unique graining patterns, each panel different from the other. Carefully and specially hand-scraped, this brand of elm flooring is sophisticated, artfully crafted to appeal to high-quality tastes. Although eye-catching, it's also a sensible choice. Highly resistant to foot traffic and everyday wear-and-tear, engineered Russian Elm is an excellent flooring choice for anyone that wants both style and endurance.
If Russian Elm flooring piques your interest, but you're not quite convinced, we get it. It's difficult to decide on a flooring option until you see it for yourself. Fortunately, we have a perfect solution for you that won't cost you anything. We'll express ship a free sample of Russian Elm to you, no strings attached. It gives you the opportunity to discover what Russian Elm has to offer and if it's the right flooring choice for your home or business.

text: 23 June 2011 archive See all show photos WOMENSWEAR has been lounging around in the Seventies for some while now – a decade that proved to be quite the hit for Viktor & Rolf this morning as the second day of menswear shows took hold and the designers - Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren - showed us what was on their mind for the new season. High-waisted trousers in shades of cornflower blue, layered shirts over T-shirts, easy blazers of thigh-skimming length, a nod to causal eveningwear, shades of yellow in pastel and lemon and a super covetable dolphin motif as it happens – on a jumper and a shirt (both of which we have earmarked). It was quite the fun and light-hearted change in tune from the Dutch design duo who, for autumn/winter 2011-12, went all severe on us. While we wait for this summer to materialise, this was a nice reminder of what, when it does, they can be like - sartorially speaking.

I have been a busy bee for the past couple of weeks making things for a boutique and an antique shop's open house!
This year, I made a few different kinds of ornaments and I will be sharing two of them over the next couple of days.
I used vintage book pages to make my pinwheels and I embellished them with {my favorite stuff on earth!} German Glass Glitter.
There is nothing quite as sparkly and vintage-y and lovely as German Glass Glitter.
And it compliments vintage book pages so well!
The glitter and the tinsel are so sparkly in person.
I will definitely be using this combination again in the future!
There is something so fun about making {vintage-y} Christmas tree ornaments!
~I made a couple extra that I will have available in the Shoppe~
Girl you are amazingly creative. You make beautiful ornaments and I am not sure if I have told you, but the shop has great items. Congratulations on your shop.
Love this, especially how you photographed them on top of the old books. Can't wait to see your tree!
Oh Kristen! They are so beautiful!! I'm with Kelly, I can't wait to see your tree!!!
This is to stinkin cute:) Love your creativity!
Your ornament is just beautiful! Looks like snow landed on it.
Happy Thanksgiving.
They are beautiful. I love how they look against the old worn books.

I'd Like to Dig You/Хочу Тебя Закопать from Vika Begalska Guelman-Gallery, Kiev, 2004
Vika Begalska @ Gridchin Hall
My conversation with Vika Begalska focused around her current retrospective at the Gridchin Hall The exhibition which is on until September has 29 large paintings (largest 1.50 x 1.20 meter) which embrace two periods within her decade – long art making practice. The exhibition was curated by Anatoly Osmolovsky who made a fine choice of the key works by Begalska.
Begalska is only in her mid thirties but her output is prolific and she has produced a number of paintings, videos and performances that address the convoluted position of women in Soviet society. Begalska sums up her views in the title Shame which can be viewed in several ways. Either shame as a reference to the repressed position of women, or shame as it relates to our past history, filled by lies and immorality, which affected women. By including these references, Begalska treats shame as the attitude of a painter to her medium.
Born in Ukraine she was educated at the State Academy for Design and Art in Kharkov, In the Ukraine Begalska was attached to traditional painting ( under an influence of a strong Kiev school of painters) However later Begalska rejected the representational approach, reinforced by Academy and adopted a freer style which draws on the early Russian avant-garde ( Goncharova, Liubov Popova) and German Neo Expressionism of 1920s. (especially Kirchner).
But due to the very strong influence of Academic Realism, Expressionism was never accepted by the Russian audience, who considered gestsural execution rather messy. From the contemporary Russian artists Begalska is almost alone who works in this style.
From about 2004 through 2009 her paintings featured women who were not ashamed of their femininity and freely exhibited it response to the wake of liberalism which Russia underwent in mid 2000s. The artist cites an encounter which prompted her in these works. Valia who was her model, already in her 50s, posed freely nude and told the young artist the story of her life in an honest intention to break through her loneliness.
Unfortunately these subjects of women's self-revelation were perceived as overtly erotic.
Her more recent painterly reflections on the theme of gender have become more expressive and exploratory than direct in the visual language of paint.
From about 2009 Begalska started to paint rather abstract images reflecting on the subjects of nature and inner emotions. She pushes the boundaries of style and texture and is almost alone as a woman working in this expressive manner. She counts her art historical references as starting with Kirchner, Immendorff and the Russian "New Wild' of the 1980s, such as Valery Chtak. But all of them men.
The "I'd like to Dig You" performance was fist shown at the Guelman-Gallery in Kiev in 2004. Seven years later Begalska repeats this performance in Moscow. The avant-garde gesture is the same: throwing mud on a video-projection until the projection disappears under the cover of black earth. This time the artist rebels against the reality around her here and now: capitalism, personified by the oligarchs, and the growing racial and ethnic inequality fostered by Russian nationalists. In her metaphysical revolt, the artist wants to evoke the "absolutely nothingness" emerging from the Black Square. Like Malevitch she wants to believe in the artistic sun of a new culture, which should rise on the day after the mystical night.

text: Iberia has scheduled a number of new flights between Madrid and Lima, Buenos Aires, Bogota, Quito and Havana.The four new direct flights to Lima represent an increase of some 40%, and raises the total number of weekly return flights to 11. The flights are well connected in Madrid to other Spanish and European destinations, and in Lima to other cities in Peru and in Bolivia, under cooperation arrangements with LAN. Madrid-Buenos Aires services have been increased by 16%, or three return flights per week, to a total of 17, or which amounts to three flight per day on most days, in a variety of time slots. Under code sharing with LAN the number of Madrid-Quito return flights has been boosted by three per week, so that between them the oneworld alliance partners will now fly to and from Ecuador between two and three times each day. Iberia now plans to use larger aircraft to increase seat supplies on its Madrid-Bogota route, but in June it will add three weekly flights (-10%) and in October another five, (+35%). Iberia will continue two operate one return flight daily between Madrid and Havana, but two or three times a week it will use its largest aircraft for the journey, thus raising the number of available seats. The expanded service to Latin American destinations will raise total seat supply on these routes by some 20,000 per month.

Out-of-control weed plagues Minnesota
If Yakov Smirnoff were here instead of Branson, Missouri, he'd say it: "In Soviet Russia, wild parsnip eats you." This isn't Russia, Danny Noonan, but it's not a habitat that naturally controls the weed, either. Which means the invasive plant gets out of control, and its toxic secretions can scar your skin. It chews up human flesh like a less musical Audrey II. Just click on the links below to see photos.
Chemicals the plant produces, possibly as a defense mechanism, destroy cells and skin tissue. But don't take my word for it. Take the word of Kerry Saxton from Wright County, who has been working to eradicate the stuff for three years. He was quoted in the Strib saying this:
On a tour this summer to get a firsthand look at the plant, Saxton rubbed a pin-head-size drop of the sap on his arm to see what he was dealing with.
"I wanted to see how potent it was," said Saxon, one of several county workers who have been burned by wild parsnip. "I've still got the scar. It's like a second-degree burn."
The Strib's story didn't come with pictures, so we tracked down images of the plant -- and the huge, pus-filled blisters it can create. A milder case here.

The famous fat cat has done it again, this time with an animated children's program that's delighting audiences around the world! "The Garfield Show," currently in its third season of production, can be found on the air in nearly every country on the globe! The all-new animated TV show in CGI and high definition was introduced in France in 2008 on France 3 network; the USA, Europe, Eastern Europe, and Latin America on Cartoon Network in 2009; in Canada on Radio Canada and YTV in 2009; in Japan in 2010 on Cartoon Network; and debuted in China in February 2011 on CCTV!
Designed to entertain kids of all ages, the show revolves around a typical (and not-so-typical) day-in-the-life of the surly cat and the characters that inhabit his world.
To date, the show's library includes 210 original 11-minute stories packaged into 105 half-hour episodes. A production of Dargaud Media and Paws, Inc., the show is produced and animated in Paris, France under the direction of Robert Réa, Director General, and Philippe Vidal, creative director.
Jim Davis, creator of Garfield, and Mark Evanier, a writer for the highly successful "Garfield and Friends" TV show (CBS-TV), are behind the writing team of "The Garfield Show," which includes French nationalist writers Julien Magnat, Philippe Vidal, and Peter Berts.
Since its debut in France, the show attracted a record audience for the network. In the U.K., the debut show became the top rated show on the network. Since then, it has consistently been in the top three shows for the network. In 2009, PEOPLE Magazine called the show "one of the best new kids' shows of the year."
Garfield's first foray into television began with the primetime special, "Here Comes Garfield" in 1981. Since then, thirteen primetime specials have garnered four Emmy-awards. "Garfield & Friends," a Saturday morning cartoon for CBS, aired from 1988-1995, and was often the top-rated Saturday morning show for kids across all networks.
