(PHOTOS/VIDEO) Bike Rave 2014 paints Vancouver in electronic neon
Over 1,000 Vancouverites painted their city flashy neon and hot pink on Saturday, as Bike Rave 2014 wrapped around the seawall, from Science World through the entrance to Stanley Park, and back down to Gastown.
"That's right everyone, you're favourite annual glowtastic mobile dance party on wheels THE BIKE RAVE is back!" reads the two-wheeled party's website. "
VanCity Buzz reports there were "more than a thousand" revellers at the event, which started in Creekside Park near Science World. Riders jammed to a electronic mix, which was made available on Soundcloud and was blasted from mobile speakers along the route.
From Creekside Park, riders went to the Plaza of Nations, then under the Burrard Bridge, to Second Beach and Devonian Park (near the entrance to Stanley Park), and then to final stop at CRAB Park, behind Waterfront Station.
But with thousands of riders comes the trace of a thousand riders, even if the event's organizers urged participants to mind their surroundings.
"Last year, some people got hurt due to being, um, a tad bit careless," reads the event's 'Cover Our Ass' disclaimer page. "While we don't have any issues with people having a good time, do try to avoid getting so wasted that you smash into people and cause them to get hurt. If you're riding with someone super drunk, try to encourage them to ride at the back of the pack.
"Overall, take care of yourself, and take care of each other."
But the next morning, residents along the route told Global BC that they were up cleaning up garbage, and weren't happy about the debris left behind by the Bike Rave's riders.
"There was litter everywhere from empties, cigarette packs, six-pack rings to glow sticks on the ground – you name it," said Chris Matthew, who lives near the Burrard Bridge. "It's kind of disgusting. We live here and this is our backyard. Plus all this stuff ends up in the ocean. (They) should have some respect for our city."
Another resident told Global that there were between 600 and 700 people in his neighbourhood, drinking, smoking, and peeing in the bushes.
In the same article, Global quoted an organizer and participant only identified as 'Willis' who apologized for the mess.
"Nobody is about causing harm or discomfort to anybody," he said. "I feel like for the overall this was really good. We can see now a couple flowers got stepped on. By no means was there mass destruction and again there was nothing intentional."

Union reacts to Governor's proposed layoffs: What's ahead for state workers
Tue, 01 Feb 2011 15:16:41 GMT —
Reaction continues to Governor Cuomo's proposed $133 billion budget proposal, which calls for reduced spending and cuts to education and Medicaid. The plan also includes up to 9,800 layoffs of state workers.
Today, critics are denouncing spending cuts in the governor's proposed budget. Public Employees Federation president Kenneth Brynien says proposed cuts to public sector jobs would "cripple public services." The Healthcare Association of New York State says proposed cuts to Medicaid will devastate some hospitals.
Locally, there is strong reaction as well. This morning, Mark Kotzin, local CSEA spokesperson appeared on Today in Central New York, saying he hopes to work with the governor when the union contract expires at the end of march to come up with solutions.
"We offered solutions in the meantime outside of the negotiations that could have saved a lot of the problems that we're facing now. The governor wasn't interested in doing that," Kotzin said. "So we will talk at the bargaining table. That's the appropriate place to talk."
Kotzin says he is encouraged that the new governor understands the concept of negotiations and hopes to work together to help solve the state's budget crisis.
Meanwhile, New York's public college students and their families won't see a tuition increase or a cut in the state's financial aid program next semester under Gov. Andrew Cuomo's budget proposal. But they may still feel a lot of pain.
In his budget proposal to the Legislature Tuesday, Cuomo said he was pleased to announce he isn't proposing a tuition increase for the State University of New York or City University of New York. But the budget does contain a 10-percent cut to the public universities, after SUNY and CUNY were dealt state aid cutbacks totaling as much as 30 percent over the last three years. State aid to community colleges would also be cut by 10 percent.
Lawmakers will spend the next several months debating the budget and making changes to Cuomo's proposals. The deadline to pass the state budget is April 1st.
Update 2:35 pm Tuesday:
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is getting ready to propose a budget of pain.
A state official with knowledge of a private meeting between Cuomo and legislative leaders Monday night said Cuomo is considering cuts of 2 percent to 3 percent in school aid and in Medicaid and is proposing as many as 10,000 state layoffs.
A Cuomo official wouldn't comment.
The official says Cuomo discussed the rare cuts as true reductions from current funding levels. Annual state school aid is about $21 billion. The Medicaid health care program for the poor and working poor costs more than $50 billion.
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because discussion during the executive mansion meeting Monday night wasn't supposed to be released before Cuomo's budget address Tuesday.
Here's how Central New York leaders are reacting to the 2011-2012 budget proposal.
S enator John DeFrancisco (R), the chair of the Senate Finance Committee, said he would support Governor Cuomo's efforts. "He's doing what he has to do, I think the right thing to do, namely cut government spending. Its not increasing spending, like the last two years with very bad leadership, he's being a leader."
Assemblyman Bill Magnarelli (D) said, "We'll be talking about it over the next month or two, and if we have to make changes, we'll make changes." When asked about the State Senate passing a 2% cap on property taxes Magnarelli said it would have to be accompanied by mandate relief.
Republican State Senator Mike Nozzolio said, "I support the fact there are no new taxes in this budget and that it's going to hold the line on spending, but we need to ensure that New York comes off the precipice of economic ruin and straightens out its fiscal house."
Democrat Assemblyman Sam Roberts who was just appointed to the labor committee was asked about Cuomo's plan to layoff 9,800 state workers. Roberts said, "I understand that everyone has to feel the pain across the board, but I just have a problem with balancing the budget on the backs of the workers.
Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.
Update 10:55 am Tuesday:
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has released his proposed budget a couple of hours before his 1:00 speech. He is proposing a $132.9 billion budget that relies on expanded lottery play, some fee increases, a few one-shot revenue raisers and as many as 9,800 state layoffs.
The 2011-12 proposed budget, however, includes no new taxes and no new borrowing. Cuomo's budget calls for a 2 percent cut in Medicaid funding and a 2.9 percent cut in state school aid.
The plan seeks to balance the need to address what could be a deficit of more than $10 billion.
CNY Central's Jim Kenyon says the 2010 State Workforce Management Report by the Civil Service department shows that the state could shed as many as 10,700 jobs without one layoff. That's one year's attrition. The report shows there's room to eliminate far more jobs with a modest early retirement program.
We want to know what you think should be cut from the state budget. Leave a comment below to give us your opinion, and vote in the poll at the bottom of this story.
Original Story:
S ome are calling it the "budget of pain".
Governor Andrew Cuomo will unveil his 2011-2012 state budget plan at 1:00 today. He's expected to call for cuts of 2-3% in school aid and in Medicaid, while proposing as many as 10,000 state layoffs.
The budget is expected to total $135 billion and address a deficit estimated at $10 billion. This information emerged from a private meeting between Cuomo and legislative leaders Monday night. However, a Cuomo official would not comment.
A spokesperson for State Senator Dave Valesky says Cuomo will release details of his budget to the state legislature later this morning.
CNY Central's Jim Kenyon is in Albany and will have reaction from Valesky, State Senator John DeFrancisco and others throughout the day.

East Ridge wrestling: Raptors earn fourth place at Hopkins
East Ridge senior Reid Lyden made his way through a difficult field to finish fourth Dec. 28 at the Rumble on the Red tournament in Fargo, N.D.
Lyden beat Worthington's Anthony Luft, a defending state champion in Class AA, 2-1 in a tiebreaker to reach the third-place match. There, Lyden fell to Cambridge-Isanti's Travis Swanson 8-1 to finish fourth. Lyden lost to Foley's Tyler Funk, last year's runner-up to Luft, 12-0 in the quarterfinals.
Lyden finished 6-2 overall for the tournament, including a 7-5 victory over Woodbury's Ty Johnson in the second round.
Ryan Thompson, Nate Tigges and JoJo Garica all reached the second day of the tournament, but did not place.
Jimmy Vitt and Carson Lesher reached Saturday in the junior varsity tournament with Vitt taking second place at 182 pounds.
After the Rumble on the Red, East Ridge sent six wrestlers to the Hopkins Invite Saturday and all six Raptors earned at least a top-four placing to finish fourth at the 12-team meet.
Tigges and Lyden each won their brackets, Tigges at 182 pounds and Lyden at 132 pounds.
Ryan Thompson at 113 pounds and Carson Lesher at 126 pounds finished second while Garcia earned a third-place finish at 285 and Josh Stensgard placed fourth at 138 pounds.
Also, the Raptors lost 51-21 to Forest Lake on Thursday at East Ridge High School. Individual results from the match were not made available.
Next, East Ridge takes on Suburban East Conference rivals Park and Woodbury in the District 833 championship triangular on Thursday at Woodbury High School.

In my wee little days I would spend hours carefully turning pages in the newly-arrived Sears catalog toy section. I wanted Santa to know my favorite space ships, games or transport devices.
From this season's catalog collections of glossy photos and prices flooding my mailbox, I randomly chose the Wine Enthusiast Holiday Catalog to hunt for gift ideas for my wine friends.
Thumbing through, I've always liked the heavy bar-mounted bronze corkscrew ($75) that works like a Screwpull. You can yank a cork in record time - perfect for multi-bottle parties, but unfortunately beyond the aptitude of most casual drinkers I've encountered.
The Santas in barrels ($100) or reindeer balancing tilted bottles of wine don't do much for me. Neither do cork wreath or trivet kits. You can take your hot glue gun and make your own for free.
Designer style wine fridges, on the other hand, always make me stop and stare. One model has two temperature zones, where you could load 8 bottles of white wines set to 46 degrees and 16 reds at 63 degrees, ideal serving temps. I shove the credit card back into my wallet when I consider how many bottles of wine I could buy with $300.
The Fusion decanter ($50) has a nice form and can really bring a wine quickly to its full potential with better exposure to air, but I can do the same with a cheap plastic beer pitcher.
I'd avoid giving 3" Diamond Decanter Stoppers ($20), aerators ($20) or Clef du Vin instant wine agers ($100), unless you know your wine geek recipient is the kind of person who will enjoy spending days figuring them out.
A set of 4 nice wine glasses ($50) is always a good idea, especially if you've seen fat-rimmed wide-mouthed glasses in your friend's cabinet. I'd recommend visiting a winery like Lucas and see if they will sell you a set of their Bordeaux-style Spiegelau stems - a gift that also advertises our home town.
Better yet, why not just head out to one of the many sales going on in Lodi tasting rooms and pick up a mixed case of the real McCoys, tie on bows for 12 of your friends, and let the goodness of Lodi speak for itself!

Philly public-access cable channel plans move
Philadelphia's public-access cable channel has been on the air for just over year, and it's already set to expand. PhillyCAM is preparing a studio at Seventh and Ranstead streets for a summer move.
In a cultural age where posting videos online has become second nature, PhillyCAM has been training people how to properly use cameras, lights and microphones -- and then broadcasting the results on TV. Since October 2009, it has been doing so without the benefit of a control room, acoustic paneling or proper lighting gear.
Director Gretjen Clausing said the new space will have all that to keep public-access cable going.
"For me, there's still something incredibly powerful to be able to say, 'I'm going to be on TV tonight,' as opposed to saying, 'I'm going to be on the Internet,'" said Clausing. "To be able to truly create a space on the dial that is dedicated to thoughts and opinions of Philadelphians, and where people can tune in and see their neighbors and representatives, is incredibly important."
PhillyCAM now rents space inside the Painted Bride Art Center on Third and Vine streets. The upgraded studios at the new location, just a block from Independence Mall, will be complete with windows facing the sidewalk, so passers-by can watch a TV crew at work.
The public-access station is no stranger to new media. Clausing said PhillyCAM's website will soon be able to stream most of its programming over the Internet.

Project Slider
St. Lucie County
a Fischer Tropsch Reactor and Fuel Production System, and highly effective flue gas treatment system. When in full operation, the projected $228 million budget for the St. Lucie plant including insurance costs will produce approximately 64,000 gal/day of ultra-low sulfur renewable synthetic fuel and 16,000 gal/day of Naptha with projected revenues of more than $83 million annually, varying with the price of fuel. The anticipated internal rate of return on the project investment is approximately twenty percent 20% with an EBIDTA of approximately $56.0 million in Year 1. The plant will create approximately 221 direct new jobs in the St. Lucie area at the facility. Hundreds of jobs will be created during the construction of the facility and hundreds of indirect jobs will be created once the facility is in operation. The power plant will feature an effective flue gas clean up train to ensure that regulated emissions are far below the concentrations allowed under Federal air quality standards. The up-flow fluidized bed gasifiers to be used at the new facility have been in waste to energy service for more than 33 years. The project management team consists of the following team members:
When in full operation, the new $61.55 million power plant will generate a minimum average of 9.0 MW/day of electrical power to the Grid, while earning revenues of more than $25.1 million annually.

The Iron lady is dead.
I'll be the first to admit I know very little of her seeing as she ruled before my time. What I can glean from the media though gives me a good idea about what she was all about. She seems like Martha Karua on steroids without the affectionate dancing side.
She called Nelson Mandela a terrorist for crying out loud and thought the Apartheid regime was pretty rad. Now this was the 80's so such sentiments were rather archaic & jarring even in her time.
But years, nay, Decades later it is especially her countrymen that despise her. I gather that she devastated the mining communities and by extension the working class and precipitated lts of suffering for them. A documentary I watched a while ago insinuated that the whole global warming fiasco was started by her and others to popularize use of nuclear energy for power generation so as to reduce the influence of coal workers unions. This would make her a highly intelligent leader if true and the effects of her decisions are reverberating to this day. Now that is influence.
The reaction to those that are happy to see her go is however what is most amusing to me. We generally(Africans) avoid speaking ill of the dead but a line can be drawn somewhere right? I mean the Americans nearly called a national holiday when Obama murdered Osama and dumped him in the sea. This was blatant happiness over an individual's death. Why should this be any different for those who suffered under the iron lady's rule?
I am personally indifferent to her death or influence if it still exists seeing as she is no longer a shot caller and I doubt whether her policies to Kenya were to Kenya's benefit. The right for people to be glad she is dead should be protected though same as an entire country can be proud of itself for murdering a supposed terrorist and celebrating it.

Make sure you tell him it was the kid from Alberta that had the idea, he'll know who I am.
Used to, but not for a long time. I will see what he says
Probably. You should definitely talk to either or both or those guys about a trade night or something. I'm sure if they advertised it, maybe offered some free pizza or snacks, maybe even had some percentage off boxes/packs, I'm sure they would get a good number of people in. Has AJW's ever had anything like that?
Mustache , i have never seen him wear glasses though- You might be talking about David
Oh cool, we'll definitely have to meet up there and make some trades and talk hockey. Or some time we should organize some trade night deal thing at AJW's. I forget, is Al the one with the mustache and glasses?
Well, myaunt lives in Saskatoon and I go visit my relatives there during the summer. I consider it my "summer home". They live on Diefenbaker so I'm their house and yours isn't that far away. Do you ever go to AJW's or penns?
Hi. I'm looking to trade for current Leafs, Oilers, Flames and Canucks player cards in their current uniforms. Duplicates are okay. Are you interested? Thanks.

In anticipation of the April 1 release of Elephant Revival's new album, Petals, Grateful Web chatted with Bonnie Paine to learn more about the production of the album, the band's future and Bonnie's dreams for her own future.
Many thoughts come to mind when one hears the phrase 'Elephant Revival.' For some, it's a completely abstract concept. For others, the name rings true – although the many truths Elephant Revival listeners happen upon through their music are many, there's a connection we all feel written within each song Elephant Revival brings to the stage.
We are looking forward to the 11th Annual Pickin' on the Poudre, at the historic Mishawaka Amphitheatre in Bellvue, CO on Saturday May 16th! Special guests Bonnie Paine and Daniel Rodriguez (of Elephant Revival) and Friends -and- Caribou Mountain Collective will also join us! Mishawaka Pre-Sales will begin on April 1st. Public on-sale will begin on April 3rd.
Elephant Revival. If you don't come out of one of their shows feeling refreshed, uplifted, happier…you may want to visit the doctor. Of course, we all change with every single action and thought, but Elephant Revival packs what seems like a whole lifetime of life lessons, revelations and beauty into a 2-hour set. So when you see them live, you're sure to get more than just some time in a bar listening to music out of your experience.
Two and a half months ago, I was fortunate enough to get my first glimpse of Elephant Revival, the Lyons band whose sound is so unique, a reporter coined the term "Transcendental Folk" in an effort to capture it.
I first heard of Elephant Revival when I met Bridget Law at a fiddle contest five years ago. She had a magnetic personality and played the fiddle with the best of them, so I made sure to look up her band when I got home. The first Elephant song I listened to was "Ring Around the Moon", and it was stuck in my head for days.
Hustling down the festive, wintery Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado, I stopped into "George's Food and Drink" for a quick beer with a long- time Leftover Salmon fan.
Strong winds from the west blew across a dirt parking lot… people tuck their heads, pulling their hats tighter to their skulls as they struggle against the wind, walking towards a dusty, rock strewn patch of earth… getting closer, t-shirts and the tarps they are laid out on struggle to stay grounded as their owners try to protect their wares from the dust… Girls in ruffled tutu's and fishnet stockings are re-thinking their outfit choices in light of the chill the wind brings with it- but dust and wind are c

say i want to create a smash effect on my model , i am stuck on how i would change the vertex buffer ,x,y,z , i know how to get the current values , i just dont know how to apply new values so the mesh looks diferent
sorry, don't have time currently to give a long response, but you can modify the information in the same fashion as you would with an array of pointers.
vertexStruct *ver;
mesh.lock(*ver); for (every vertex) { ver.position = whatever you want it to be; } mesh.unlock();
EDIT: keep in mind this isn't the only way though. If you're using SM 3.0 you can create damage effects in the vertex shader. IMO it's much more straight forward and faster.
yes but how does that know to apply it after all you only retrieve the postions , and it dosent feel like if i changes those values its not going to set them
No, locking the vertex buffer means you get a pointer to the actual, real data. It is not just a copy of it and if you change the data, it will change what is rendered.
ahh right , i see why its not made any effectr on the teapot , but i think it will work on a .x , so if i load a terrain .x intersect with it , i would need to only get the 3*x,y,z the mouse is over, then if i press mouse 1 i would increment the data on y axis to make the terrain heigher
You know, I just realized. If you're using a mesh with a vertex format you don't have access to, you're probably not locking it with the correct vertex structure. The structure "ver" must be the same size and order as the meshes vertex format, if it's not accurate, the lock will fail.
EDIT: well, it doesn't necessarily have to fail, but the right information will not be accessed.
ive the correct values , i just cant set new values to teapot
D3DXIntersectTri do i set the taken vertices points from locking and i put them in this function then? , i want to test which triangle in a mesh the ray intersects

I don't know about you, but spending too much time away from a computer can be a bit nerve-wracking. While withdrawal-like symptoms might be a problem for some, they show just how large a part of our lives computers have become. They're about as ubiquitous as TVs are in the U.S. to some of us. A home without a computer seems strange, foreign. Turns out that's not too far from the truth.
According to a Research and Markets report of computers in the U.S. in 2008, about 80 percent of homes currently have a desktop or notebook computer. While the report is a whopping 111 pages, and costs € 2,995, the important information for those of us not in the business side of things is already right there. An average of four out of every five homes having a computer is a big deal, especially if that last 20 percent of those homes might have access to computers in some other way.
The report shows he trends of the industry and where it could be going. It cites both Windows 7 and cloud computing as being "on the horizon," with both being huge factors this year, and probably beyond it.
Looking through the table of contents for the report, the most interesting section to me would have to be "18-24 year-olds less engaged with the PC." I don't know who the conductors of the study talked to, or if I'm just misreading the title, but computers (the Internet more specifically) are a huge part of the lives of many 18-24 year-olds. Were it not for computers, it would be difficult for them to buy certain things, write papers for college, or communicate with family and friends when at college or on break. Then again, it could just mean that they're less engaged with the machines themselves, and more so with the Internet.

January 03, 2012Multiple return values
Why doesn't D support multiple return values like many other modern languages? Clearly the same syntax as Go wouldn't work, but I'm sure a neat and tidy syntax could be invented? I constantly want to be able to return x,y from a function, or retVal,errorCode and I want the language to make some rough ABI guarantees, like multiple return values will be returned in consecutive registers, rather than a single return value register like C/C++, avoiding the need to pass output addresses through ref function parameters (slow!).

I had botox injection for my wrinkles on my forehead a few months ago. The injection stung a little but weren't too bad at all. At first i had a little swelling around the injection site, like a bee sting. Within 1 hour I had small lumps appearing around the sites. I followed the post care sheet and did not lie down or bend down for the quoted amount of hours. Within 5 hours I had large lumps appearing which were hard and by brows felt really heavy. By the next morning it was evident there was something seriously wrong. Mt forehead was three times the size and I could hardly open my eyes. The sites did not itch but just felt sore and heavy. I had to visit the emergency department at hospital who said I had, had a sever reaction to the botox injections and I was given antibiotics, anti-immflamatories and anti histamines.
The swelling did not go down for two weeks and my blurred vision stayed for another two weeks after. I could not close my eyelids properly. I had to ice pack the swelling for two weeks. Eventually the reaction went and the results were quite good, but most definitely not worth it. I would never have it again!

Hundreds of foreclosed homes in Oakland may be vacant for long periods of time leading to blight and crime and dramatically affecting neighbors. A new ordiance http://clerkwebsvr1.oaklandnet.com/attachments/23756.pdf requires homes that have been foreclosed to register with the city within 30 days.
The banks must pay a $500 year registration fee and name a responsible person/agency that is located within 25 miles of the home who can be contacted by the city and neighbors for any problems. The fee will help pay for Building Department staff that may have to inspect, monitor problems and keep track of vacant properties. The city council will be looking at an ordinance for vacant commercial property separately.

Probably not for my room
By Disappointed
from Lancashire, England
Purchase Reason
The quality of this piece is very good but I am disappointed by the colours. They are more subtle and, sorry to say, a bit dingy compared with the image on the site. I bought two of the set, and have them displayed on a deep-ish red wall which doesn't help with them being quite dark to start with. The quote on site "lush abstracts filled with recognizable and improvised forms amid rich colors, glistening light and unusual textures" does not apply AT ALL to the one I have. It's possible that because they have a matt finish this has dulled it down a bit but I can't see it making that much difference. Because they are dull, I think they would suit a plain white wall better, possibly in a minimalist style room.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Buzzer Thirty presents:
Two's a Crowd
Rockaway Center for the Arts
Gallery 6
Ft. Tilden
Rockaway, NY
September 4, 2011
Opening Reception 4 pm – 6 pm
Gallery open: Noon – 8 pm
Directions: http://www.rockawayartistsalliance.org/contact_dir.html
TWO'S A CROWD is part of a larger exchange project that began in 2008, when Lisa Iglesias and Janelle Iglesias (Queens, New York) met Tricky Walsh and Mish Meijers (Hobart, Tasmania) while in residence at The Cite Internationale des Arts in Paris, France. Both duos maintain individual as well as distinct collaborative practices.
Lisa and Janelle work together as Las Hermanas Iglesias while Tricky and Mish have collaborated as Henry Papin—the Collector and most recently as The Subterranean Plant Society, (TSPS). The seeds of a future exchange were sown during late night drawing marathons, studio visits and cups of coffee.
Two years after meeting in Paris, Tricky and Mish, founding members of Hobart's former Six_A Artist Run Initiative, facilitated the first stage of a New York-Tasmania exchange in the form of a one-month residency for Las Hermanas at their ARI. This residency culminated in the space's closing exhibition, Rival Rousing in January 2011.
This summer, TSPS is traveling to NY to complete the exchange. During August they will create a new project at the Wassaic Project Artist Residency in Wassaic, NY. In September they will be joining forces with Las Hermanas in their home borough of Queens, NYC to present TWO's A CROWD with Buzzer Thirty, a Queens based artist run alternative space. The exhibition will feature TSPS' latest work alongside Las Hermanas' Rival Rousing project.
TWO'S A CROWD explores different approaches to the collaborative process- moreover, the ins and outs, trials and tribulations of partnerships and exchanges
In TWO'S A CROWD, each duo takes a different approach to the collaborative process. Much is revealed about the possibilities, limitations, trials and tribulations of partnerships and exchanges in the dialogue created by the 2 artist teams as well as within each collaboration's work.

ARTISTS: Amy Bay, Elizabeth Cohen, Erika deVries, Lalie Douglas, E. Ashley Fox, Masha Godovannaya, John Lamacchia, Shelly Low, Maja Malbon, Caitlin Masley, Alison Mercer, Joomee Paik, Kristen Palazzo, Zhenya Plechkina and Misha Sklar / VYDAVY SINDIKAT Maja Rakočević – Cvijanov, Maja Radešić, Elena Skoko / BLUEBIRD AND SKOKO, Ivan Stojaković, and Dina Weiss.
CURATED BY: Olja Stipanović
Curator – Main Entry: cu·ra·tor Function: noun Etymology: (from Latin cura, care), cura -ae f. [care]; (1) [care taken, carefulness, pains, attention, minding of things or persons]; of business, [management, administration]; [an object of care, or a guardian, caretaker]. (2) [care felt, anxiety, worry, disquiet]. : one who has the care and superintendence of something; especially : one in charge of a museum, zoo, or other place of exhibit: Law. a guardian of a minor, disabled, or similar, esp. with regard to his or her property. CURATORS [raising humans] is a group show featuring artists connected by a particular understanding of time and space. They are all curators. In the original Latin sense of the word – they are the curators of aches and pains, meals and playtimes, first steps and first words. They cure disappointment, scrapped knees, and all kinds of hunger. They are the caretakers of educational and developmental objects. They choose the right shoes and what is good for spine development, the amount of color, light, and music.
To put it bluntly – these artists are parents.
2 years ago, my son was born. He took over my body, my thoughts, and my life. As we gradually and difficulty started to unravel and take on our new [separate?] lives as Mother and Child, I began to realize that I too, am now a curator ….or I need to be it more diligently. Take care of a non-working thyroid, find niches and time slots for what I want to do and what I dream about doing, rearrange living space to have a room [a hallway with a desk] of my own. CURATORS came about at the most complicated time for me. It happened out of need to find new references and out of great happiness upon discovering a whole new world of artist who enjoy and cherish what they do in the most zealous way. The installations, drawings, paintings, embroideries, photographs, performances, texts, screenings and objects I included in this exhibition are all "nap time productions", works that came into being as these artists were becoming parents. Most of these works were realized [or are yet to be] in a time crunch, on a kitchen desk, while not alone, in between laundry drop off and a daycare pick up. They speak of frustrations, self-doubt, confrontations with prejudices, and questions about the necessity and feasibility of making art. Through the works in this show, you can detect a peculiar sardonic thread, an obvious fascination with all sorts of refuse, and a time anxiety similar to the one found with a certain White Rabbit. Because these artists consciously set the highest of parentally expectations without even blinking, [that of raising socially responsible and at the same time happy human beings], you will also uncover a passionate and wild love we have for both family and work – the kind that is rooted in a profound and altruistic sense of humanity.

My work examines and speaks of interrelationships – professional and personal, public and private. Everything in this biographical story can be interpreted through degrees of seeing, through the following text:
……my ship was sailing merrily on its way. On it, I was without any doubt sailing towards my highest goals.
What happened?
A misfortune?
My ship run aground, collided with a rock…the rock was Katja. I was shipwrecked on the opposite view of the world. What did Katja bring to my art? Optimism. I was embarrassed. It was moreover optimism for which Katja had an ugly designation – "optimism without smell". I was embarrassed again. I thought about it for a long time. My situation was hopeless…
In the end, the rock I run aground on?!!
If I interpret it as the destination, as the meaning of this voyage?
To stumble on it….that is THE destination.
I underline this observation:
My art is ailing. The problems I perform, hysterical problems – the compulsion of my effect, my irritated sensibility, my taste always in search of spicier and spicier spices, my instability masked into principles…And because nothing is more contemporary than this, – my generalized disease, overly irritated nervous machinery – I am a contemporary artist (contemporary cagliostro).

An exhibition and reading
May 1, 2010 at 6:00 pm
Resisting fear, discrimination and hate.Extremist activity promoting hate and fear has plagued American history and haunted many Americans throughout our 500 year history. Now, fifteen years after the Oklahoma bombing, extremist groups across the country–Tea Party rallies and extremist militias–have come out of hiding. Health care reform seems to have escalated these movements, but they have been growing since the election of Obama. While the issues on which these groups focus are not uniform, immigration and race seem somewhere very near the core of it all. In the past year "patriot" militia groups have surged in numbers, centering on issues of conspiracy theories and racism. One of their mottos is "take back our country." In an NYT Op-Ed piece, Frank Rich (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/28/opinion/28rich.html) makes the case that the Tea Party and militia movements are primarily concerned about losing America to people of color, gays and immigrants. Are thousands (more?) of Americans arming themselves out of fear of a non-white America while many millions passively watch on. Will immigration be the topic that further divides the nation and pushes these groups to more serious action?"Everything now, we must assume, is in our hands; we have no right to assume otherwise.

Estela Lamat and Michael Leong Book Release Party and Celebration:
April 3, 2010 at 6:00 pm
Estela Lamat is a Chilean poet associated with the so-called 'Novisima' Generation, a group of various writers that re-deploys and extends the difficulty of dictatorship era writing in response to the more diffuse and unofficial 'dictatorships' that continue to police and control the social body. She is the author of Sangre Seca (Contrabando del bando en contra, 2005), Yo, la peor de todas (Contrabando del bando en contra, 2006), and the forthcoming Colmillo molido.
Michael Leong's poetry career began in the sixth grade when he won his first and only poetry prize in Mr. Harrison's class for a haiku about a snake. He is the author of I, the Worst of All (blazeVOX [books], 2009), a translation of Estela Lamat, e.s.p. (Silenced Press, 2009), a collection of poetry, and The Great Archivist's Cloudy Quotient (Beard of Bees Press, forthcoming), an electronic chapbook of N+7 poems. You can find him online at http://michaelleong.wordpress.com.
Buzzer Thirty is honored to present a show of the photographs of James Conlon.
James Conlon was a co-founder of Buzzer Thirty, a historic preservationist and a scholar. James tragically passed away on July 19, 2009. In his life and work, James extensively explored the Middle East, Africa and New York City, documenting the cultures and architecture of the communities and places he encountered. This show demonstrates his ability to find beauty in the everyday lives of all people. It also marks the return of a Buzzer Thirty gallery space. Buzzer Thirty will go on in his memory and spirit.
Show Dates: March 19 – April 3
Buzzer Thirty
Buzzer Thirty strives above of all else to expand contemporary ideas and practices of pedagogy, in particular as they are employed to enliven the arts. The physical space Buzzer Thirty provides to artists, writers, critics, theorists, teachers and students is an educational one—intended to promote experimentation, revision, demystification, eros , growth, enthusiasm and concern. Buzzer Thirty is a community-based center that strives to address everyone it encounters as a teacher and a student—every experience and event is one that we attempt to charge with pedagogical significance. Buzzer Thirty not only wants to provide the spatial and temporal opportunities for the expression of ideas and thoughts, but also the means and language to do so—it is a literacy project, whether that literacy be of a visual, emotional, political, aesthetic, or linguistic nature. In working towards fulfilling such aspirations, the center plans, organizes, and hosts art exhibitions, readings, teacher-education seminars, lectures, film talks, and writing, art and media classes with the support and guidance of local educators, artists, and theorists. It is through these projects that Buzzer Thirty hopes to challenge familiar existing conventions of what is known as, or thought to be, public and adult education.

Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
12-01-2012 06:53 PM - edited 12-01-2012 07:12 PM
I have thought about the Forward card for a while because it has 5X points on restaurants and I spent over $3,000 at restaurants through the first 11 months of this year. That's over $150 in rewards I missed out on.
Now that both the Freedom and Discover 5% categories have been released, I have decided that only the Freedom is really going to benefit my spending needs given the 2 quarters with 5% on gas, and the first quarter with restaurants at 5%. I will be applying for this in late December, and not applying for the Discover. With that, I have an open space in my wallet for the year to help maximize my rewards. So this is where the Forward comes in.
A couple questions are: does an application for the Forward in March (as the Freedom 5% is expiring) fit my card needs from what you all can tell? I plan to use the rewards on my student loans. What are the underwriting standards? I haven't seen a lot of discussion on this, but most of the people on the forum who have the non-student Forward have scores in the 700s with multiple years of history. What are my chances? Any comments on the Forward card or Citi overall?
My profile:
Over 4 years AAoA on all 3 bureaus
Will hit 6 months history with my only credit card (Capital One $3,000 limit) on December 15. Currently 8% Utilization. I always PIF.
Multiple student loans reporting on each bureau. Also a 28 month car loan.
No baddies - everything paying as agreed.
2 INQs on each report as well, all will be 6 months old in December. Since I plan to apply for Amex BCP (perhaps a long shot) and Chase Freedom in December, there will by additional INQs, and possibly new accounts reporting.
Income of $60K
Credit Score was 700 in June (don't know what bureau, per Capital One pull). Score should be higher now, especially with a new mix of credit and new available credit of over $3,000
I think you have a good chance for the Forward. Citi's TY points can be a little confusing due to different redemption rates (some gift cards are worth more than others, cashback is not worth a lot, etc.) though, but I heard its decent for student loan payments. I think the card will be a good fit for you since you spend a lot at restaurants. The points add up really fast...I got more than 10k TY points after my first statement due to heavy use, lol!
Also, Amazon counts as a "bookstore" so you get 5x points on Amazon too!
I guess I'll be more specific...anyone with insight on Citi's credit requirements? Chances I will be approved if I apply in December or March?
You have a solid file, I got the foward with worse. I would say go for it.
Don't forget the Citi Dividend Platinum Select. It's similar to the freedom with cash back and rotating 5%

I didn't know about this card - it doesn't get much mention on this site.
When will the 2013 categories be announced? Are there ever gas or restaurant categories?

It's a pretty good card. It doesn't show what categories is coming up until it is up and you have to signup for it.
SnackTrader wrote:
Thanks! I didn't know that, that will be a nice added feature.
Your 10K TY points were probably from the sign up bonus + paperless statement bonus. Unless you spent $2,000 at amazon.
It wasn't from the signup bonus; I applied for the student version and had no signup bonus. I indeed did spend a lot at Amazon, bought a TV and upgraded some equipment.

The far-right British National Party gained a tiny toehold in British mainstream politics on Thursday, winning three council seats in the racially divided town of Burnley as local elections were held across the country.
But with nearly 6,000 local council seats at stake all told, 45 of them in Burnley, the party's showing was more symbolic than substantive.
The pro-nationalist, anti-immigrant party last won a council seat nearly a decade ago, and held onto it for just a year. Echoing other right-wing parties across Europe, it contends that whites are being treated as second-class citizens by leaders pandering to the rising tide of asylum seekers.
Local elections are usually good indicators of how the government is faring. Although Prime Minister Tony Blair's Labor Party lost control of some seats in the 174 town and city councils at stake around the country, the Conservative Party failed to make the inroads it needed to show that its leader, Iain Duncan Smith, is considered a viable alternative to the still popular Mr. Blair.
Burnley, a depressed northern former mill town, was seen as a good bet by the British National Party, which constantly reminded residents of the racial violence that ripped through their neighborhoods last summer.
Although the party drew about 20 percent of the vote in several districts in Oldham, a nearby town that had rioting last summer, it failed to pick up seats there or in any other district in which its 68 candidates were running.Continue reading the main story
Still, political leaders in Burnley, which is 92.5 percent white and where the nonwhites are mostly Asian, said they were horrified that the party, which evolved from the violent National Front, had won any seats.
''Many of us are still in shock,'' said Shahid Malik, a Burnley resident who is a former member of the national Commission for Racial Equality. ''We expected them to get some success, but nonetheless feel very numb. It is profoundly sad, not just for Burnley, but for the rest of the country.''
While the party itself called the election results a ''triumph,'' opposition politicians moved quickly to play down its gains. ''Obviously, we have got to be concerned about it,'' Michael Ancram, the Tory foreign policy spokesman, told the BBC this morning, ''and we have got to show we can address those issues which make people vote for parties like the B.N.P. But I think we have to keep it in perspective.''Continue reading the main story

This was probably the most difficult Clarity item to design. Engine Clearance was a major issue as we wanted to ensure it worked with most engine internals and highlift cams, while still fitting the tight clearance of the stock HD frame. We accomplished all that while exposing the internals of the twin cam rocker box with a design that matches the rest of the Clarity line of products. Now you don't have to hide all those high-tech engine internals. The Clarity line also gives you a unique opportunity to customize the inside of your motor with watch like precision and detail.

Buongiorno. My name is Roberto and I'm a driver/guide in Rome. I'll be pleased to show you my lovely city and the many secrets off the beaten path with my Buggy
Aktiv in den Kategorien: Rom
Culture and fun go together when you tour with us! Enjoy touring Rome with us by golf cart! This is the tour first timers shouldn't miss. You see Rome's major attractions, plus some of the tucked away sites. In four hours we'll take you to the Colosseum (outside), Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona and the Spanish Steps. You'll tour all the major highlights of Rome, except for the Vatican, in four hours. We don't think it makes sense to visit the inside of the Colosseum, during the golf cart tour. Its visit requires a long time and, while you're with us in the golf cart, we'd rather show you around places you'd never find otherwise . Those who want to visit the inside of the Colosseum or the Vatican, can be dropped off there at the end of the tour.
Most of the golf cart's fun is driving through the streets of the old city instead of driving the main streets with all the traffic. We hope you will give us the opportunity to show you some interesting out-of-the-way curiosities and what the other tourists miss! The drive though the streets of old Rome itself will confirm to you that you made the right choice when you decided to tour Rome with us by golf cart!
We want our tours to be exclusive and that's why we are not listing all the out-of-the-way places we'll show you, so please excuse us, but they'll have to be pleasant surprises!
St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel are not part of this tour, but we can drop you of there at the end of our tour and, if you like, we will get you a guide to show through the place.

Onboard Air India One, May 31 (ANI): Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has said that politcs and sports should not be mixed.
Speaking onboard Air India One on the controversy surrounding the Indian Premier League (IPL), while on his way back from state visits to Japan and Thailand, Dr. Singh said:"Not prudent to comment while investigations are underway. I hope that sport doesn't get mixed up with politics."
The Prime Minister appeared to be cautioniong his cabinet colleagues to avoid commenting on the spot fixing in the IPL, and the crisis presently afflicting the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) till all investigations are complete.
The Prime Minister's comment came even as there have been calls in the recent past from ministers within the government and from within the BCCI for N.Srinivasan, its president, to resign on moral grounds in the wake of his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan's arrest on charges of betting and match fixing during the sixth edition of the IPL.
Srinavasan has stood firm about not resigning, as he continues to claim that he has done no wrong, and that he has ordered a formal inquiry into Meiyappan's off the field activities by a three-member commission.
Dr. Singh's comment has also come even as the Crime Branch and Criminal Investigation Department (CB-CID) officials are carrying out raids on hotels of suspected Indian Premier League (IPL) spot fixing accused Vikram Aggarwal here on Friday.
Aggarwal is said to be the key link between small time Bollywood and television actor Vindoo Dara Singh and Chennai Super King's owner Gurunath Meiyappan in the IPL betting and spot fixing scam.
Friday's raids, which are still on, came a day after Mumbai Police, which is probing the IPL spot-fixing scandal, summoned hotelier Aggarwal for questioning.
Aggarwal alias Victor was asked to surrender before the Tamil Nadu Police on Thursday, but has so far missed the deadline.
Aggarwal, the Tamil Nadu Police claim, has been active in betting circles and was the person who introduced Vindoo Dara Singh to Gurunath Meiyappan.
Both Vindoo and Meiyappan are in police custody and are being interrogated over their role in betting on Indian Premier League or IPL matches.
Meanwhile, the Madras High Court has dismissed Aggarwal"s plea for anticipatory bail.
Aggarwal owns a franchise of Hotel Radisson Blu and other properties in Chennai.
A few days ago, the police said investigations are on to find out why Aggarwal"s wife telephoned a cricket bookie, now under arrest, over a 100 times.
Police said the hotelier used the phone connection in his wife"s name to get in touch with the bookies.
Aggarwal is said to have originally been involved in the construction business and then become a hotelier.
He has two hotel properties - the 129-room Fortune Select Palms and the 162-room Radisson Blu Hotel City Centre. (ANI)

File this one under Clarifying Moments: Halfway through an encore song by Drivin' N' Cryin' Wednesday night at Roots, as Kevn Kinney and company was ripping the roof off the Loveless Barn and rending the sky with lightning bolts of electric guitars and pile-driving rhythm, I wanted to see if anybody was tweeting about this amazing set by this beloved Southern rock band. So I glanced at the wonder slab in my pocket, and while yes, there was some obvious enthusiasm pouring forth from the audience within and without for OUR set, the tweet that made me nearly snarf Blackstone pale ale out of my nose came from the Grand Ole Opry, where it seems they were having their own climactic moment: "Can't get much better than a full house on their feet singin' along with @rascalflatts…"
For those who don't know about my history with Rascal Flatts, they are my bête noir, my nemeses, my Darth Vader (and no, they're not my father). I've lacerated them in print and over beers. I once called them "namby AND pamby" in The Tennessean. I cringe every time they get associated with the venerable Grand Ole Opry or show up for some event at the Country Music Hall of Fame, where plaques of Waylon, Cash and Kitty stare at them. Their songs are cheez-wiz on a Styrofoam cracker. Their voices eat at me like a corrosive chemical. So, in my humble opinion, (influenced I confess by years of listening to the likes of Hank Williams, Lightnin' Hopkins, Django Reinhardt, Connie Smith and great bands like Drivin' N' Cryin'), art and entertainment actually does get a whole lot better than a Rascal Flatts singalong. Indeed it's better than that 95% of the time at the Opry.
But I digress. There's a show to review, and I believe our guest artists cleared the bar set by the Opry tweetmeister, like pole-vaulters going over a hurdle.
We closed with unabashed rock and roll, and I shall return to that in a moment, but getting there, we enjoyed another smorgasbord kind of night, with American music from varied towns and styles. Nashville's Thad Cockrell opened things up in lone songwriter mode. It was a rare appearance too, as the alt-country crooner is now focusing pretty exclusively on his pop/rock band Leagues. On display was why Thad has been celebrated for a decade: a voice of powerful purity that rides a razor's edge between alto and tenor. His melodies bite hard, as in the soaring "Rosalyn" where the chorus floats like milkweed seeds on a breeze. For his closer "Great Rejoicing" he brought out an impressive chorus of support, including Phoebe Cryar from The Vespers and artists Bryan Simpson and Courtney Jaye. It cultivated a perfect atmosphere for the night to come.
Now apparently the Dirty Bourbon River Show of New Orleans didn't read the memo that says "emerging artists" (often so designated in our Vietti Chili second batter slot) aren't supposed to actually steal the show — as in packing it up, removing the furniture, absconding with the lights and sound gear, etc. I mean give other bands a chance! These guys RAVED and charmed with brazen vocals, slippery sweet drumming and a horn attack like we've never seen. They reminded me initially of Holy Ghost Tent Revival by way of the Crescent City. But with even more theatrical power and flair. A rangy dreadlocked Jesus-esque cat in a black suit sported a massive Sousaphone as he laid down the bass lines. The trombone player was in black tails decorated with ribbons and epaulettes. One fellow moved from arch-top guitar to accordion to trumpet as the set progressed. Their "Dirty Bourbon Second Line" and their dark, smoldering "Wolfman" and the sick syncopation of "Ain't No Place Like New Orleans" earned them a big old encore, and they made great use of it by turning into an all horn quartet that whipped the crowd into a frenzy. Please come back boys. Please come back.
Next it was back to Music City with a songwriter whose eclectic tastes and skills have led him through all kinds of bands and ideas, from the famous De Novo Dahl to his current life as Phantom Farmer. Often a solo act, Farmer scaled up for Roots with a fine, drum-less band that played classic country music with just a dropper of surrealism. The Farmer was a heavily bearded guy under a brown wide-brimmed hat with his jeans tucked in his boots and a silky acoustic guitar. His voice? Wow, I'd say Orbison-ish, with much more curl and pathos than I was expecting. His refrain of "wild hearts can't be broken" in his final song was a match of message and messenger.
Then some ants arrived at our picnic, welcome ones who jammed. The Carpenter Ants are a 25-year old ensemble from Charleston, WV, still working with their original four-piece lineup. That's rare and special, and so were the joyful vocals of Charlie Tee up front and Jupiter Little from the drums. The forecast was sunny and funky as they kicked into the old Fats Domino song "I'm Gonna Be A Wheel Someday." Michael Lipton sparked up the songs with some clear-cutting Telecaster twang, and more electric guitar came from the unexpected guest sit-in of Tim O'Brien, their fellow West Virginian and apparently crash-pad host for the band's stay in Nashville. They left us swaying with two uplifting gospel rock tambourine shakers. It was tight and right, as one would hope after 2,000-plus shows.
Now we don't generally rock hard on Roots, but when we do, we try to go with an exemplar of the art form. I've heard about Drivin' N' Cryin' for years but never came across a show. Now I know the reason for the longevity and fan fervor. They're riffy and loud but also tight and colorful. "Ain't Waitin' on Tomorrow" was a high-wattage blues in the manner of Zeppelin. "R.E.M.", their tribute song to a great fellow southern band, let things get a little more transparent and jangly. The stacked vocals and lyric checks from that legendary outfit were nourishing and nostalgic. Then leader Kevn Kinney set up the final planned songs of the set with a great story about an early visit to Nashville and an encounter with a tailgate evangelist that led into the D'N'C' sing-along favorite "Straight To Hell." The encore was a tour de force. I'll be honest – I don't tend to seek out music this pummeling and fat, but there I was, feeling every distorted note.
Jim Lauderdale led the assembled artists in a rousing version of The Band's "Ophelia" which by the way sounds great with a Sousaphone and a New Orleans drummer. With a few great solos and some euphoric singing, we were out of there. Be sure to come back next week. It's Guitar Night, and I'll resist saying that it can't get much better than that, even though it might be true.
