Gearing up to release his tenth studio album, Nobody's Smiling, in two weeks (July 22), Common unleashes his latest single in the form of the Big Sean-assisted "Diamonds."
Produced by No I.D., it's an upbeat, soulful cut perfect for summertime. Sean leads off with a freeform, melodic hook that spills into a couple of nostalgia-inducing verses from Common, and his GOOD Music comrade brings the track full circle with a sort of rambling verse that acts as a continuation of the hook.
Stream in full below, and stay tuned for more.

'The Cultural Capital of Asian American Studies'
The Cultural Capital of Asian American Studies (New York University Press) explores the state of the discipline more than 40 years after its founding amid the student protests of the 60s. Mark Chiang, associate professor of English at the University of Illinois at Chicago, writes about how the field has grown and also changed since its early days. In an e-mail interview, he discussed the themes of the book.
The Cultural Capital of Asian American Studies (New York University Press) explores the state of the discipline more than 40 years after its founding amid the student protests of the 60s. Mark Chiang, associate professor of English at the University of Illinois at Chicago, writes about how the field has grown and also changed since its early days. In an e-mail interview, he discussed the themes of the book.
Q: What are the key ways Asian American studies as a field is different today from the era when it was created?
A: The first Asian American studies program at San Francisco State University was distinguished by its community orientation and founded on two main slogans regarding the relation of the university to the community: community autonomy and relevant education. The institutional structure of Asian American studies marked a radical break from the typical model of the American university in that it gave community members who were not academics a voice in program governance over such matters as hiring and curriculum. In this regard, the program threatened the principle of faculty autonomy and self-governance that were essential to the modern research university. The necessity of institutional survival, however, meant that the program soon was forced to conform more or less to the rest of the university and thus to exclude non-faculty members from any participation in program operations.
Needless to say, Asian American studies now finds itself in a radically altered sociopolitical landscape, as well as in a quite different situation in the university. It has achieved a certain degree of academic legitimacy and Asian American studies programs have now spread to a number of colleges and universities across the country. This also means that it has a very different relation to those features of the university that many of its founders opposed: faculty autonomy and the primacy of research. This is not to say that the field has simply been absorbed into the academic status quo but rather that its original goals have been redefined to varying degrees. In my book, I discuss at greater length the contradictions inherent in the ways in which the ambiguous concepts of community autonomy and relevant education were initially understood, contradictions that resulted in intense conflicts within the field in its first years at SF State and University of California at Berkeley. I propose that reopening the debates on these questions can help the field to forge a more coherent political and intellectual agenda in order to confront the major challenges that lie ahead.
Q: How do you see the development of Asian American studies and its position in the academy similar or different from other ethnic studies fields such as Latino or African American studies?
A: Each of the fields in ethnic studies has been deeply shaped by its relation to the social groups and/or communities by which it defines itself. Thus every aspect of Asian American studies has been impacted by the relative position and circumstances of Asian Americans in American society. Even as Asian American studies as a field overall remains committed to the political project of ethnic studies, its relation to the other fields of minority studies is complicated by such factors as the model minority image and the perceived success of Asian Americans in American society, the "overrepresentation" of Asian American students and faculty at many colleges and universities in comparison to their percentage of the general population, and the rapid rise of some Asian economies in the global system. Despite being much smaller numerically than either Latinos or African Americans, Asian Americans arguably pose greater challenges in terms of the efforts to forge political unity. Although just as ethnically heterogeneous as Latinos, for example, Asians lack any unifying language, or history of colonization, and are more divided along class lines, not only within particular ethnic communities, but also between them. At many universities, for example, students from poorer Southeast Asian and Pacific Islander communities are grouped together with more affluent East Asian and South Asian students and so excluded from affirmative action and financial aid programs.
As an academic enterprise, Asian American studies has had to grapple with the consequences of both real and perceived success. Ironically, this has meant in some ways that the field has less political and academic capital because it has seemed not as crucial to Asian American students, who appear to be doing just fine without it. On the other hand, it also seems apparent that the tremendous growth of the Chinese and Indian economies has resulted in a resurgence of interest in Asian Studies that is pulling the two fields more closely together and potentially away from the U.S. national context that originally defined ethnic studies.
Q: How does the concept of "cultural capital" define the status and role of Asian American studies?
A: One of the main questions I ask in the book is how a political movement becomes institutionalized in the university as an academic field and what the consequences of this transformation might be. The problem, of course, is that faculty autonomy and academic freedom are premised upon the independence of scholarly research from political or economic interests, and so the intrusion of overtly political agendas or concerns into the university threatens to undermine the basis of the academic enterprise. Beyond this, however, I also argue that any form of cultural or intellectual activity can gain entry into the university only if it produces some form of cultural capital, which can be understood on a basic level as any kind of information or knowledge that possesses some value. What endows cultural capital with social significance, though, is its implication in the reproduction of social inequality. That is, the value of cultural capital derives from the transformation of economic or material capital into symbolic or cultural value, as well as from its scarcity.
As a form of "distinction," cultural capital serves to legitimate social inequality by endowing the upper classes with an aura of superior taste or sophistication and making those appear to be the source of their domination, rather than their simple possession of capital. At the same time, however, holders of cultural capital also tend to oppose those who possess economic capital, which accounts for the more left-leaning political orientations of artists, academics and other producers of knowledge and culture. Insofar as the university is one of the primary institutions engaged in the reproduction and determination of the value of cultural capital, Asian American studies necessarily had to convert itself into a form of cultural capital in order to be institutionalized in the university. The question I pose is whether it is possible, first, to contest the role of cultural capital in the perpetuation of social inequality, and second, to do so from within the university. These are especially pointed questions for a field like Asian American studies that seeks to transform the university into an instrument of social justice.
Q: Asian American studies as a field was born at San Francisco State University. Where do you see the leadership coming from in the discipline today?
A: One of the most interesting facets of Asian American Studies as an interdisciplinary field is that it encompasses a broad range of disciplines and fields of study. Although this means that it is difficult to ascribe any coherent sense of identity to the field as a whole, it also means that there are many intellectual projects being carried out in a variety of institutional and regional locations. In fact, it is quite heartening to see the tremendous work that is being done at every level of the educational system and in so many new places. The expansion of the field "east of California," for example, has resulted in the establishment of programs not only on the east coast, but also in the South and Midwest. The latter has in fact become one of the major regions of growth in the field, with my own program at the University of Illinois at Chicago joining others at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio State, Indiana and Northwestern, among others.
Having just carried out a search for a faculty position at UIC, I was also interested to see that a new generation of scholars are coming into the field from a greater number of schools outside of the West coast, including those from the more recently established graduate programs at many of the schools in the Midwest, as well as such places as NYU, Brown, Yale and UT Austin. Academically, the field has also expanded in the last decade or so into new disciplines and fields of study in which there has been pioneering work but not large numbers of faculty, such as political science, psychology, communication, and education, but one of the last frontiers in the field remains the health sciences and natural sciences. Since UIC encompasses a large school of medicine, we are very interested in work that connects the natural sciences with the social sciences and humanities.
Q: What do you consider the major challenges facing Asian American studies today?
A: It seems to me that the main challenge confronting Asian American studies at the moment is the dire situation of American public higher education, a crisis that will disproportionately impact Asian American studies and other forms of minority studies. While the current economic crisis is provoking severe budget cuts across the nation, as exemplified most dramatically perhaps in California, it is unclear whether any economic recovery will actually bring with it any return to prior levels of state funding for higher education. In this climate of declining resources, it seems likely that Asian American studies programs, as some of the smallest and most vulnerable at many schools, will be among the first to face severe measures, along the lines of "last hired, first fired." Many of the largest Asian American studies programs are also found in the large public universities, which are of course directly affected by the decline in state funding.
In addition, budget cuts will also impact student services, and since part of the mission of Asian American studies is to serve Asian American students in particular, as well as the student body as a whole, those aspects of the program will suffer, along with related parts of the university such as student or cultural centers, which are often quite integral to the success of the academic program. As universities are forced to retreat to their core operations, the question becomes what will be seen as expendable. Public service missions, commitments to local communities as well as to such things as the diversity of the student body, democratic access to education — these may all fall victim to economic austerity, and given the commitment of Asian American studies to all of those things, the reduction of those aspects of public higher education would not bode well for the field. Although this is a worst-case scenario, I fear that even if these events do not materialize in the immediate future, they are harbingers of a long-term trend in American public higher education. Ethnic studies was in many ways the product of an extraordinary period of growth in the American educational system. We must ensure that it does not succumb to the retraction of the system.

U.S. History Map - Early American History
U.S. History map for Grades 3-12
65" x 52", tear resistant, markable synthetic paper, mounted on a steel spring roller with backboard.
The Fourth World Atlas Project at the Center for World Indigenous Studies announced the release of its most recent published map "Exploration & Exploitation" for use in the school grades 3-12. The map depicts the sites and original names of more than 3900 American Indian communities and what are referred to as Grandmother/Grandfather nations.
The Center's research staff carefully researched the names Indian nations and communities gave themselves and used those names to identify different Indian population concentrations. The distribution of Indian nation and community locations demonstrates a pattern similar to how non-Indian populations currently occupy the land with large concentrations in California and the west as well as parts of the east coast. The Grandmother/Grandfather nations depicted illustrate those that were and are well respected by smaller communities as having powerful and influential cultures.
This is an historically accurate map illustrating the many different peoples living in what is now the United States of America in and around 1500 or 13 years before the arrival of Ponce de Leon in Florida as the first explorer from Spain, explained Dr. Rudolph Rÿser, the Center's Executive Director. Published by The Exploration Company in Arizona the map is a map of "moving history" illustrating the original peoples of the United States, the regional claims of land by Spain, France, and England, the notable exploration routes of Spanish explorers as well as French and American explorers in later years. Finally the map depicts the colonial boundaries of lands claimed by the United Kingdom in the early 1700s.
Our research team here at the Center have made an important contribution to school aged learning, suggested Dr. Rÿser. The maps are being offered on metal pull-down hangers for use in schools throughout the continent.

Unfortunately the game is no longer online, so we cannot understand if the success was due to the attractive prizes or to the game mechanism.

Christophe Coppens
EVERYTHING IS LOCAL, Landscape 1
9 March - 26 May 2013
Belgian artist Christophe Coppens opens his first exhibition on 9 March 2013 in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen
Christophe Coppens (b. Belgium, 1969) worked as an accessories designer for 21 years, under his own label as well as for other designers. On 5 May 2012 he decided to close his business and discontinue all his activities in the realm of fashion. His most personal reason for doing this was the dilemma between fashion and art that he felt for many years.
"You can't be a good artist with the mentality of a fashion designer," Coppens explains. "And I didn't succeed at being a part-time artist."
His first work as a "full-time artist" is "EVERYTHING IS LOCAL, Landscape 1", a work commissioned by the H+F Fashion on the Edge initiative. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen has the honour of presenting this work to the public for the very first time.
H+F Fashion on the Edge
H+F Fashion on the Edge, an initiative from Han Nefkens and José Teunissen in collaboration with Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, focuses on the edge of fashion and the visual arts. H+F Fashion on the Edge was set up in 2006 and has since invested in the development of dresses and installations by Viktor & Rolf, Hussein Chalayan and many others. As part of the H+F Collection, these pieces have been given to Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen on long-term loan.
Design in Boijmans
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is the leading museum in the Netherlands where national and international design talent are given a platform. Special exhibitions are organised as part of the 'Design in Boijmans' programme. In the spring of 2013, the museum will be spotlighting craft during the major exhibition 'Hand Made: Long live crafts'. It will include a wide range of examples of arts and crafts from the past and present, demonstrations by craftsmen, countless workshops and Hand Made markets. In addition, there will be several new up-to-date exhibitions presented in the Design Columns series and the new layout of the design collection will be unveiled. In 2014 the museum will present the sequel to its 2009 exhibition The Art of Fashion. This exhibition will also be organised in association with H+F Fashion on the Edge.

FordDirect Company appoints Beth Hill to acting chief compliance officer and general counsel
DEARBORN, MI--Nov. 6, 2013: FordDirect, a joint venture between Ford Motor Company and its franchise dealers, announces the appointment of their executive Beth Hill, interim general counsel and interim chief compliance officer.
Hill's automotive and technology experience spans more than a decade and focuses on how data is transforming the automotive experience and industry. At FordDirect, Hill is focused on developing the organization's guidance and training for compliance and ethics, including data privacy, security and intellectual property. She is also leading the implementation of new organizational tools to streamline the commercial contracting process and assist with vendor management.
Prior to joining FordDirect in February 2013 as assistant general counsel, Hill was most recently senior counsel and privacy counsel for Chrysler Group LLC, where she provided legal support for operational groups such as connected vehicle, sales and marketing, information technology, dealer relations and vehicle brands. Hill also provided assistance to Chrysler in negotiating business agreements and partnerships for advertising and marketing agencies, vehicle product placements, digital and interactive services and intellectual property licensing. As Chrysler's only privacy counsel, Beth provided legal advice and counsel on all aspects of privacy and data protection for the enterprise.
Prior to joining Chrysler in 2001, Hill was in private practice in Birmingham, Michigan where she was a corporate associate focusing on transactions in the technology and e-commerce areas. Hill holds a bachelor of arts from New York University and a juris doctorate from Fordham University School of Law.
"Beth's pragmatic approach to contract management and legal affairs has been instrumental to FordDirect," said Stacey Coopes, chief executive officer of FordDirect. "Beth's background and expertise in privacy and security issues specific to data and the connected vehicle is a valuable resource as FordDirect continues to look for new and innovative ways to help dealers market to consumers without breaching trust or privacy."

When you think of the word 'timeless', what image instantly pops into your head? For me, I can definitely say that Audrey Hepburn a' la Breakfast at Tiffany's is the first image that comes to my mind when I think of that word. Without a doubt, Audrey Hepburn is my style idol. To put it frankly, I am mildly obsessed with Audrey Hepburn in general and I think that she is the perfect person to emulate when trying out a timeless, classy look. She put the "LBD", or the "little black dress," on the map for women of the time, and since then women have been sporting the LBD for generations. One of the best places to show off your favorite LBD is at a wedding during any season. While the look may seem plain for a summer wedding, black dresses can be played up with great key pieces of jewelry or statement heels.
Check out this fabulous Fashionista's LBD. She wore a black tube dress and patent leather heels, accessorizing the look with chandelier earrings and a black beaded cuff. The strapless black dress is perfect for the warm and humid weather that may accompany most summer weddings, and the heels give the entire outfit an edgy vibe. The black jewelry spices up the outfit just enough to not take away from the great detailing on the side of the dress. All in all, this LBD ensemble is the perfect outfit to wear to a wedding this summer! To mimic this Fashionista's classy look, try out an edgy version of the LBD. If you want to go for a sweet and simple black dress, give this one a try. Both of these are from Lulu's, a website that has an amazing selection of dresses of all styles, shapes, and sizes.
The timeless little black dress is a look that seriously flatters every single woman and is the perfect way to look classy and chic at a summer wedding. If you don't want to sport an LBD at your upcoming summer wedding, check out this slideshow on InStyle.com! It shows great examples of dresses to wear to a summer wedding. However, if you haven't rocked the perfect little black dress yet for a special occasion, I highly recommend that you try one out! Take a note from this Fashionista and the ULTIMATE Fashionista, Audrey Hepburn, and sport your very own LBD.

faslanyc has a good piece on the weakness of metaphor as a grounding literary device for landscape architecture. The post is in reaction to Andrew Blum's "Metaphor Remediation", recently run in Places.
I approvingly cited Blum's article a couple times, so I re-read Blum's article with faslanyc's criticism in mind. Having done so, I think maybe its not just that metaphor is the wrong literary device to cite (though faslanyc builds an interesting case for that, which you ought to read), but that, despite Blum's own stated intentions, he isn't really talking primarily about literary devices (MVVA's work certainly isn't overly preoccupied with them, as faslanyc notes), but about a "technical" shift (to use Blum's term) in the relationship between ecology, cities, and landscape practice. The primacy of 'metaphor' is shoehorned into the piece in various places, but it doesn't really fit, and the piece would read fine without it.
For instance, how much is lost in this paragraph if one removes the reference to 'metaphor':
To do this — to define the poetics of a new kind of Eco-City Beautiful — landscape architects are tightening the links in their work between the scientific and the aesthetic and the ecological and the metaphorical. MVVA's work in particular demonstrates a move beyond "postage-stamp" examples of urban nature that are easily contained, labeled and trumpeted. Beginning with the design of Mill Race Park, in Columbus, Ohio, and clearly evident now in the scheme for the Toronto Port Lands, the scale of MVVA's interventions demonstrates a concern for ecological processes that is not merely illustrative, treating nature as if it were a museum exhibit, but rather that is necessarily rooted in a holistic understanding of site ecology. [6] More strikingly, it requires an agnostic approach toward nature's coexistence with urban experience: accepting (indeed, insisting on) the presence of nature in the city, while being flexible as to the "truth" of that nature. The future landscapes described in their schemes suggest that there is no such thing as an orthodoxy of nature in an urban park, and that nature cannot be held at arm's length.
Or this one:
In MVVA's work of the last two decades, ecological thinking informs landscape making. Throughout, they have drawn on the help of professional consulting ecologists, including Stephen Handel, Steve Apfelbaum and Mark Laska, in search of a richer understanding of the possibilities for best incorporating natural processes into post-industrial urban landscapes. [8] This collaboration between landscape architects and ecologists is complex, and not without conflict. There is a basic difference in stance: landscape architects necessarily apply a design intention to a landscape, while ecologists observe and compare a landscape with an idealized theoretical framework of undisturbed nature. Landscape architects eager to respond to practical ecological concerns must reconcile these fundamentally different approaches to achieve substantial functional improvements — especially if those improvements are to operate both technically and metaphorically, for their own sake and as legible symbols of the Eco-City.
The problem isn't that landscapes can't operate as metaphors for a tightly integrated relationship between the city and nature (not that I think faslanyc is saying they can't), but that they can't operate successfully as metaphors without first operating successfully as landscapes that function in both ecological and urban systems ("technically"), and so it is backwards (of Blum) to emphasize the primacy of the metaphor when it is the literal reality which gives the symbol its power.

Wendy's Baby Shower Cake
I made this shower cake for a co-worker- who had been trying many times to get pregnant (and going through much heartache in the process) was a expecting a little girl. I had a lot of fun putting my heart and soul into this cake design. I also got a lot of compliments at work on it- so the late night hours on this cake (see the thread in cake disasters called "Holy Cake....sort of" to get part of the story on this cake) was well worth it!!!

Not-so-fresh food at iftar can harm health
Dubai: After a long day of fasting, few may query whether the foods they are eating as they end their fast during Iftar are safe to consume.
But without proper hygiene and proper chilling, some foods can actual do a body real harm, say experts.
Consuming cut fruits and salads that have been exposed to high temperature variations or have not been cleaned properly, could actually be hazardous given hidden high bacteria counts lurking in the food, especially given that the UAE is experiencing one of the hottest summers in nine years.
Nutrition experts also warn that and people consuming them should also be careful that they have the right combination of foods in order to digest them properly, say health experts.
Due to rapid oxidation, you should not wait for longer to eat your fruits after they are cut.
"It is good to include fruits and salads in your meal due to the high nutritive value but people should make sure that they have these in right combinations as consuming different kinds of foods at the same time could hamper with digestion. For instance, I recommend that after you break the fast with dates and water, and want to have, say, orange juice, you should leave a gap of at least 10 minutes. Having fruits with carbohydrates would not do good to your digestion," said Jane A Darakjian, Nutritionist.
"You can cut and refrigerate them for half and hour to one hour at home. If you are mixing them and making salads, try doing it just before you are about to consume," said Darakjian.
Any food prepared or cut and kept at room temperature in this hot weather is not fit for consumption, she added, noting that she usually recommends separating fruits, particularly the tropical ones like strawberries, kiwi, orange, from carbohydrates. Most salads, she added, can be taken along with the regular meal.
Fruits and vegetables need to be washed properly under running water to remove dust and contamination.
"Particularly in restaurants, the fruits and vegetables are cut and kept for long hours. As a result they may not give much of a health benefit," said another nutritionist.Another aspect that one needs to be careful about is the time between cutting and consuming the fruits and vegetables.
Dubai Municipality advises people to consume sliced fruits immediately due to the rapid oxidation which reduces nutritive value of the fruits.
Regarding storage, the municipality advises that leafy vegetables are stored in the bottom of the refrigerator and separated form raw foods such a meat, fish or poultry. Fruits and vegetables should be stored in clean cool and dry place and away from moisture.

text: I think Erinn made a huge mistake by not getting Sierra and maybe eventually Debbie, to go against that JT/Stephen pack. There is no one on the tribe otherwise, that she can win against. She could have beat Sierra, judging from their comments about Sierra in the challenge, so Erinn should have made a move. I think that was her only hope. Now she looks like quite an outsider, unless one of the strong players wants to take her along for an easy win on their part. Last week I was really rooting for her to take Sierra and take on the others - she seems to know Stephen is a behind-the-scenes mastermind kind of guy, and she voted for him instead of Sierra. So if she didn't want to vote Sierra out, why didn't she team up with her and make a run for the end?

As a freshman, Dana Ochsner helped lead the El Camino High girls water polo team to the playoffs for the first time in school history. As a senior, she enabled the Wildcats to reach the semifinals yesterday for their best postseason showing ever.
Ochsner recorded six goals and two assists as El Camino upset third-seeded Poway 13-7 in the San Diego Section Division I quarterfinals at La Jolla High's Coggan Pool.
"I had faith, but the realization that we actually just won, and we're going to the semifinals, it's crazy," said Ochsner, a national standout who will attend Cal. "It's so almost unimaginable. I'm so happy."
The Wildcats (17-14) allowed the game's first two goals in the opening 40 seconds but responded with six unanswered scores on the way to adding this playoff victory to their first ever in the opening round on Thursday.
"The good thing about this team is that we may start off slow, but once we have our intensity, we tend to be able to keep it and keep on pushing," Ochsner said.
Junior Kaelin Salgado, who finished with four goals, helped ignite El Camino by scoring the Wildcats' only goal of the first quarter and the go-ahead goal, which accounted for a 3-2 lead 5:02 before halftime.
"It's all amazing," said Salgado, a second-year varsity member. "My team and I are still in shock about it. We put so much hard work and dedication into it. It's just unbelievable how it paid off."
The Wildcats split two regular-season games with Poway (18-12). The teams met in the playoffs for the third time in four years.
"We talked at the beginning of the season about being a semifinalist and contending (in the rugged Palomar League)," fourth-year El Camino coach Santiago Thompson said. "The courage of the girls to maintain those goals and work hard even in the face of 14 losses really is a testament to them."
El Camino plays in the semifinals Wednesday at the same site against league rival Carlsbad, which advanced with a 17-4 victory over Torrey Pines.
In a dramatic upset in Division II, Janie Swarz scored with two seconds left to lift Scripps Ranch over fourth-seeded Cathedral Catholic 8-7. Neither team led by more than one goal throughout the game.
Granite Hills recorded an upset victory in Division I by topping fourth-seeded Mt. Carmel 8-4 behind five goals by River Croteau-Hanson.

New Mexico's capital city has elected its first openly gay mayor. On Tuesday, Javier Gonzales was elected mayor of Santa Fe by a wide margin, taking in more than 43 percent of the vote.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports:
Gonzales made history as the city's first openly gay mayor and will preside over a City Council on which two of the eight members are openly gay women — mayoral opponent Patti Bushee and newly elected Signe Lindell.
According to The Albuquerque Journal, this was also a first for the state:
In what almost certainly a first in New Mexico, two of the mayoral candidates were openly gay — [Patti] Bushee has been "out" since before she entered public life two decades ago and Gonzales declared he was gay last year.
Their sexual orientation wasn't an issue, at least publicly. While Bushee and Gonzales fought over issues like commitment to Santa Fe's local "living wage" of $10.66 and hour, and there were ethics complaints filed against each of them (both ruled unfounded by the city's ethics board), Dimas stayed quietly out of the fray, bypassing public candidate forums and staking out more conservative positions.
Gonzales, a Democrat, will be inaugurated into his new post on Monday.
Watch Gonzales and his supporters celebrate his win, AFTER THE JUMP.

Short: I want my clients on the net only accept router advertisements which are authenticated over IPSec.
Detail: I use several Windows7 machines. Now I want one of them to send router advertisements and secure them by IPSec. I want to use a pre shared key for the authentication and the other machines to only accept advertisements if they are signed. Can anyone
tell me how to do this?

My Hideous Progeny. When Mary Shelley — poet, essayist, novelist and, most famously, the creator of Frankenstein — lost one of the four babies she conceived with poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (only one child ultimately survived), he placed her in a tub of ice water to stop the hemorrhaging that threatened her life. This provides the central image for My Hideous Progeny, a meditation on life, art, creativity and those determined outsiders and occasional exiles, the Romantic poets Shelley and Byron. The inspiration for Frankensteinwas a parlor game during which Lord Byron challenged all the participants to write a ghost story. John Polidori, another writer who was also present, supposedly took up an eventually abandoned idea of Byron's and turned it into "The Vampyre," the first vampire story published in English. While we've come to expect some humor from Buntport Theater Company, My Hideous Progeny is very serious. Quoting from letters and journals, the play gives us Mary Shelley's feverish thoughts, along with her husband's sleepwalking and laudanum-inspired delirium. There are dreams, symbols and meditations on art and creativity. None of the five actors reveals those spiky and specific personalities we're accustomed to at Buntport, and though this shows admirable restraint, it also means that the only character who's at all interesting is Byron. Evan Weissman plays him as a conceited fool, providing a few moments of humor. Despite all the lyrical talk, My Hideous Progeny gives us the Romantic poets' narcissism without the poetry, while also withholding the creepy pleasures of a good ghost story.

Parlour Song. At the beginning of Parlour Song, demolitions expert Ned is showing videos of his work to his neighbor, Dale, owner of a car wash. Dale is polite but uninterested; he's seen them many times before, though Ned seems to have forgotten showing them to him. But for the audience, the videos are fascinating: the balance between control and destruction, the way a building leans almost reluctantly into itself, slowly hollowing before exploding in a slow, beautiful, meditative ballet. This is also a fitting representation of what is happening within Ned's marriage to restless, indifferent Joy, and, in fact, to his entire life. Objects are disappearing from Joy and Ned's house, and Ned is trying to do everything he can think of to keep his wife. He enlists the help of Dale in an effort to lose weight. In one of the evening's funniest scenes, he listens to a sex-advice tape, learning how to deploy his tongue during oral sex. In most disintegrating-in-suburbia fiction, the protagonists dull their pain with sleeping pills and anti-depressants. Ned can't do that: His demolition contract requires that he never take drugs. So when Joy discovers pills, they turn out to be — pathetically — the Rogaine he's purchased to save his hair. There's a persistent undertone of menace that makes comparisons to Pinter inevitable, and a persistent sense of deracination, instability, change and the loss and deterioration caused by time's passing. Although this production is oddly uninvolving, it's still worth seeing because Butterworth's dialogue is so fiercely funny, and because it stars three of the best actors in the area.

To Kill a Mockingbird. Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird is an institution, a must for every high school curriculum, the inspiration for a well-loved film starring Gregory Peck and scripted by Horton Foote, the starting point for discussions of race ever since the novel first appeared in 1960. Unfortunately, Christopher Sergel's stage adaptation, like so many novel-to-play enterprises, is a plodding, static affair. While the book's characters are brought to life by Lee's vivid, poetic description, the characters onstage are flat — and it's hard to believe that anyone, anywhere, ever really spoke as they do. The story is narrated by an adult version of Finch's adoring daughter, Scout. As six-year-old Scout and her brother, Jem, play with an eccentric visiting boy called Dill, speculate on a reclusive neighbor, and struggle to fathom their father's work and the mysteries of the grown-up world, the narrator hovers benignly. It's charming at first, less so as the evening progresses. The second act, in which Finch defends Tom Robinson, the alleged rapist, is more involving, though the characters remain unconvincing. Finch is consistently noble, dispassionate and courteous; Tom humble, polite and subdued. If the man is terrified — he's barely escaped a lynching, after all — he doesn't show it. Like Tom, most of the black characters are primarily window dressing. The Finches' maid, Calpurnia, is strict but loving. During the trial, a group of black townspeople sit in the balcony like a Greek chorus — except they don't even get to comment. Insightful direction could perhaps rescue the play, but Sabin Epstein's production is as straightforward and unimaginative as a preachy after-school special.

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
HiCustomer Thank you for asking your question on Just Answer.
Are you having a particular problem with the seats?
What seat (or seats) do you want to remove?
Hi again.
I am assuming that these are bucket seats in the front. Here is the procedure for removing them. Please let me know if this looks correct.
Removal Procedure
Installation Procedure
Tighten the fasteners to 45 N·m (33 lb ft).
Verify that the shoulder belt is not twisted.
I also have a diagram I found at gmpartsdirect.com that shows the parts for the front seats.
Please let me know what other information you might need.
Take Care, Greg A.
From the documents, it looks like the seat should just come out of the front when tilted up. Here is the procedure for replacing the adjuster that shows a pretty good diagram.
Caution: Refer to SIR Caution in Cautions and Notices.
Tighten the fasteners to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).
Please let me know if that helps.
Thanks, *****

Nikon 1 AW1 review: 1 system rebornBy Kevin Carter - Wednesday December 18 2013 Sensor Review
The Nikon 1 AW1 attains a DxOMark a score of 51 points and a global ranking of 197 overall. That's behind the 1-inch format 20-Mpix Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 at 66 points, Nikon 1 J3 at 52 points and the 1/1.7-inch type 12-Mpix Nikon Coolpix P7700 with 53 points, and in front of the Nikon 1 V2 and old APS-C Nikon D70s DSLR, both with 50 points. The overall score is good for a Nikon 1 system camera, as are the individual metrics with a color depth of 20.2 bits, a 10.9 EV dynamic range and a 428 ISO low light score. But, predictably, the performance is on the low side when compared to other mirrorless formats.
