Akron/Family – “So It Goes” Video (Stereogum Premiere)

Playful Portland/New York experimental folk-rock trio Akron/Family’s new album ST II: The Cosmic Birth And Journey Of Shinju TNT was recorded in an abandoned train station in Detroit with the help of Chris Koltay. We’re also told, outside leaking demos:

Akron/Family spent the end of 2009 and half of 2010 exploring the future of sound through Bent Acid Punk Diamond fuzz and Underground Japanese noise cassettes, lower case micro tone poems and emotional Cagean field recordings, rebuilding electronic drums from the 70’s and playing them with sticks they carved themselves.

That gives you an idea of what to expect on ST II. As does the meta video-within-a-video-within-a-video Tommy Yasuhara-directed clip for “So It Goes.”

The single:

Akron/Family – “So It Goes”

The album:

01 “Silly Bears”
02 “Island”
03 “A AAA O A WAY”
04 “So It Goes”
05 “Another Sky”
06 “Light Emerges”
07 “Cast a Net”
08 “Tatsuya Neon Purple Walkby”
09 “Fuji I (Global Dub)”
10 “Say What You Want To”
11 “Fuji II (Single Pane)”
12 “Canopy”
13 “Creator”

ST II: The Cosmic Birth And Journey Of Shinju TNT is out 2/8 via Dead Oceans. They’ve put together a bunch of free Cosmic Birth listening parties this weekend. They’re happening coast to coast, so check out Dead Oceans to see if anything’s happening in your city. If not, the San Diego party’s doing a live video webcast. You can log into that one over here. Or just stare at the cover:

Akron/Family - S/T II

If you’re not an Akron/Family fan, remember M. Gira said he was inspired to reconstitute Swans while the A/F guys were joining him in a particularly loud moment as his Angels Of Light backing band.

350 tickets though seems super light when there is probably double that in band members playing it.

I'm really only familiar with Midnight but that doesn't mean there aren't other good bands (for the respected genres) but how is anyone making money off this? I know not everything is about money but some of those bands are driving some distance to play this. Hopefully the are compensated accordingly.

Norma Jean Premiere New Music Video

Crack Pie

Posted: 09/14/2016 | Views: 6,549

Last week, metalcore pioneers, Norma Jean, released their critically acclaimed and expectation-defying seventh full length, Polar Similar, via Solid State Records. To celebrate, the band has teamed with CLRVYNT to premiere their music video for "Everyone Talking Over Everyone Else."

Polar Similar is a daring release for Norma Jean, one that pushes their sound into new territory and redefines the band without ever sacrificing their core spirit. The video for "Everyone Talking Over Everyone Else" perfectly visualizes the dichotomy between Polar Similar's ferocious sound and vulnerable lyrics.

CLRVYNT put it best saying, "For a lot of bands, the fire and excitement seems to die down by the second record, the group resorting to phoning in their following releases. But Norma Jean prove that, seven records in, they've produced arguably their best and most forward-thinking music to date." For Norma Jean, the fire certainly hasn't died, and if Polar Similar is any indication, it isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Polar Similar is available now and to support the release, Norma Jean have also announced a run of Fall tour dates starting in November. See full list of dates below.

Polar Similar tracklist:

1. I. The Planet
2. Everyone Talking Over Everyone Else
3. Forever Hurtling Towards Andromeda

6. Death is a Living Partner
7. Synthetic Sun
8. Reaction
9. III. The Nebula
10. The Close and Discontent
11. An Ocean of War
12. A Thousand Years a Minute
13. IV. The Nexus

Reader Question: Our Realtor failed to tell us that the house we purchased has been sitting empty and unoccupied for 8-10 years. We knew it was on the market for the last two years. We chose not to buy an earlier house that sat empty for four years unoccupied unless they would sell at a much lower price. She knew we passed on the first house over these issues but failed to disclose the vacancy term on the home we bought. I would have never bought the house nor paid the price we did, had we known. Is there any legal recourse we can take for this nondisclosure?

Monty’s Answer: There is not enough information provided to supply a quality reply for you. Every state has different real estate laws. Because of these differences, the contracts involved are also different. What I can do is lay out the major options to consider for consumers who believe they experienced unfair treatment.

Summarize your experience
It would be helpful for you to prepare a concise one-page summary of the events that took place. Attach the purchase contract and associated notices, amendments and any other paperwork that supports your assertions. For example, if you filled out a needs assessment form for the agent that states “no vacant houses,” or if you have an email from the agent, or from you to the agent, where you state your desire not to buy any extended vacancy home.

You are not limited to choosing one of the following resources. If you go ahead, each source may provide different outcomes. Explain your predicament in a written document and make multiple copies. This step will save you, and the person (or people) you speak with, a lot of time. It also ensures you have all the facts together and do not miss any valuable information if a face-to-face meeting takes place.

Here are your options:

To seek more information, explain your situation, and potentially obtain relief:
1. The offending real estate company. Every real estate company has a designated broker who is responsible for the acts of their agents. They should be very interested in listening to your story, understanding your expectations for relief, and investigate the circumstances before reaching a conclusion. Most brokers also carry insurance to protect the company from errors and omissions. They also cull agents who generate complaints that prove to be illegal or unethical.

2. The state-licensing agency. Every state government licenses real estate companies, real estate brokers, and agents. This department is located in the state capital city and has a website where a consumer can find instructions for obtaining more information or filing a complaint. Some states accept complaints filed online. The site will also contain contact telephone numbers and email addresses. Some complaints may be closed after the initial review process. They will investigate some complaints. Those investigations may or may not result in discipline. The range of discipline may include reprimand, suspension, limitation or revocation of a license. Agents have a healthy respect for these departments because revocation of a license may mean finding a new line of work.

3. An attorney licensed and located in the same state as the property. The areas of practice to look for includes real estate and business law. Here is a link at https://dearmonty.com/8-tips-find-good-real-estate-attorney/ that may be helpful. The attorney may seek mediation or the courts to attempt to obtain money judgments against the real estate company and the agent.

Be prepared to answer questions. Did the agent remain silent on the subject, or did they state it was vacant for two years? If the agent remained silent, why did you not inquire about the vacancy term? Has the extended vacancy period been confirmed?

There is no certainty
Know that your efforts may, or may not result in relief from the outcome you experienced. Real estate transactions and the laws associated with protecting consumer interests and fair dealing can be complicated and get to one person versus another’s recollection of the same conversation that took place months, or years ago. Oral remarks from agents, buyers, sellers and even observers can sometimes be misunderstood or erode over time.

Dear Monty believes real estate generates more consumer complaints than most regulated businesses and that many complaints go unreported. The reasons vary, but common reasons are; cost, embarrassment, time-consuming, fear of retribution, or a stacked process works against them. Complain if you were damaged.

A Practical Guide to Decanting

Fundamentally, decanting a bottle of wine can serve one of two purposes: to separate a library wine from any sediment that has formed over time or to aerate a wine to allow its aromas and flavors to become more vibrant upon serving.  As you slowly pour your Stonestreet wine from the bottle into a decanter it is able to rapidly take in outside oxygen releasing the desirable aromas and flavors that, when unlocked, allow the wine to express its true characteristics, highlighting the unique qualities derived from our mountain estate vineyards.

Three Days Later, Soldiers Find Town in Ruins

The Sydney Morning Herald (Sydney, Australia) , December 30, 2004

They knew to run on Simeulue, a palm-fringed island closest to the epicentre of Sunday's devastating earthquake/tsunami.

"Our ancestors have a saying - if there is an earthquake run for your life," Darmili, the mayor of the island, said yesterday. "Thousands of our people were killed by a tsunami in 1907 and we have many earthquakes here."

Only five of 70,000 villagers on Simeulue were killed, all of them in the earthquake that struck at 7.55am last Sunday. Nobody perished in the five-metre-high walls of water that followed because they believed in that saying.

On Simeulue, about 30,000 of the 70,000 population were camping out in hills and mountains kilometres from the coast. "They fear another tsunami will come," said Darmili. "They will not come down for some time.

"Who could blame them?"

• Burt Magazine
  • For my Final Major Project at university, I set out to explore the notion of ‘beautiful ugly’. I was driven by the idea of how something that is slightly off, and incorporates both attractive and unattractive elements, could be more interesting than traditionally beautiful and arguably ‘safe’ aesthetics?

    I decided to channel this contradictory premise by working towards a proposal for the launch of a new editorial publication that would benefit from a distinctive use of a somewhat alternative look and feel. The project came to be about designing, branding and generating original visual contents for a unique magazine that was looking to stand out by being beautiful and charming in an offbeat, and sometimes awkward manner.

    The outcome is Burt: a niche art/culture/fashion publicationset to celebrate the coming together of beauty and ugliness. Whether it is the awkward, absurd, vulnerable, flawed, mundane or unconventional – Burt is there to see the beauty in it, and lift if it for others to enjoy. But not all of it is handed to you straight. The editorial narrative is comprised of a deliberately confusing mix of different forms of literary art; prepare to be left perplexed. (The magazine is packaged in its own cover for further inconvenience.)

    All the featured articles are borrowed from various sources. I do not claim ownership of any of these.

Nationwide University Strike: SSANU Declares 7-day Warning Strike From Monday

University Strike: SSANU Declares 7-day Warning Strike From Monday

VARSITY workers will begin a nationwide strike on Monday, as the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) has declared a seven-day warning strike over the non-payment of the Earned Allowances of the non-teaching staff in the universities as agreed in the 2009 FGN/SSANU agreement.

The strike is to begin across the country on Monday, November 10, if steps are not taken to resolve the issues involved, SSANU National President, Comrade Samson Ugwoke, has said.

To this end, the union has written President Goodluck Jonathan and the Minister of Education, Professor Ruqquatu Rufai, stating that the strike will affect all Federal and state universities across the country. Copies of the letters were sent to the Minister of Labour, Chief Emeka Wogu and the Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC).

According to the letters, which were made available to Nigerian Tribune on Tuesday, the strike is triggered by the failure of the government to make provision for the payment of the Earned Allowance in the 2013 budget, a development described by Comrade Ugwoke as a fundamental breach of the said agreement.

Another issue that triggered the strike is the report of the Committee on NEEDS Assessment of Nigerian public universities, most especially the curious manner in which the government raised a white paper on the report of the committee, which impacts directly on the continued existence of its members without any invitation or input from the union.

In the letters, signed by Comrade Ugwoke and dated November 27, (to President Jonathan) and 30 November, (to Minister of Education), the union said the suspended strike would begin on December 10 if pragmatic steps were not taken to resolve the issues between 3 December and 12 a.m on 10 December.

Source: Tribune

  1. r u pple not tired of strikes? d more d strike, d more our education system suffers. it is u our fathers that v destroyed our education system. u think of nothing but urselves. shameless adults....mschew

  2. If we continue like this, then our hope of bringing the nigerian education system to world standard will continue to be a mirage. Why can't this hungry union dialogue more with government? And why can't our government keep simple agreements? Must it always end up in strikes? Please i want to graduate o. You people should hold on for awhile please

Analysis of Federalist Paper No.10. (James Madison)

Text Preview
James Madison, who was devoted to the principles of a republic and liberty, wrote Federalist Paper No.10.

The first argument that the author rises is about the inseparability of faction and liberty. He suggests that the government should not be concentrated on trying to prevent the causes of faction, but just control its effects.

He states that to remove the causes that provoke the development of factions you either destroy the liberty which is essential for political life (“liberty is to faction what air is to fire”), what could be unwise, or make each person in the society think in the same way and have exactly same opinions, what could be impracticable.

People are always influenced by their emotions; they have different abilities, skills and experiences what makes them have various opinions and become not equally successful (distribution of property); moreover, they always attach to diverse leaders (“The latent causes of faction are thus sown in the nature of man; and we see them everywhere brought into different degrees of activity, according to the different circumstances of civil society. A zeal for different opinions concerning religion, concerning government, and many other points, as well of speculation as of practice; an attachment to different leaders ambitiously contending for pre-eminence and power”).

That is why liberty and faction are essential for any government system that is working well.

Madison thinks that a democracy lets people be totally into their individual life and not think about public good. Also, it allows those individuals to judge their own interests which will blind them to the common good (“No man is allowed to be a judge in his own case, because his interest would certainly bias his judgment, and not improbably, corrupt his integrity. With equal, nay with greater reason, a body of men are unfit to be both judges and parties at the same time” ).

The author stays in favor of large republic, because it...

Group Presentation: Probe Nets Arrest of A Former Top Banker Business Ethics: Acct 430/530

Kareem Serageldin was a top investment banker at Credit Suisse Group. Credit Suisse is a Swiss bank providing private and investment banking and asset management. During the U.S. financial panic of 2007, Serageldin and three others at Credit Suisse allegedly began manipulating the value of securities backed by mortgages in a trading book. The bonds that were marked up consisted of AAA-rated and non-rated AAA-rated bonds, monoline bonds, and collateralized debt obligations. This was discovered after an internal review and termination of the three men. Credit Suisse cooperated in a probe by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Prosecutors (Bray & Eaglesham, 2012). David Higgs, Faisal Siddiqui, and Salmaan Siddiqui reported to Kareem Serageldin, the Global Head of Structured Credit Trading. Salmaan Siddiqui and David Higgs, the two other former traders, pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in February. Faisal Siddiqui was charged by the SEC but didn’t receive any criminal charges. Credit Suisse Group was not charged with any allegations in this case. Serageldin, who was located in London, was warned in February 2012 to return to the US to face criminal conspiracy, filing false books and record and wire fraud charges. On Wednesday, September 26, 2012, U.K. authorities arrested Serageldin to appear in court to begin extradition hearings. Allegations

The allegations presented by the U.S. Government were that the investment bankers and traders fraud scheme overstated the prices of over $3 billion of subprime bonds owned by Credit Suisse Group. The scheme was initiated by Serageldin when bond values began declining in 2007. Prior to August 2007, the fair value of the bonds was recorded daily by an automated pricing service called Financial Times Interactive Data (FTID). Recording the decrease in actual value would cause hundreds of millions dollars of losses for the company, threaten the employees’ multi-million dollar year-end bonuses and jeopardize Serageldin’s sought-after promotion (Calamari, 2012). At the end of the year they knew the bonds were falsely overpriced compared to the declining housing market but didn’t accurately account for them to avoid suffering the vast losses. In 2008 a recorded phone call proves that they knowingly overvalued the bonds and the year-end P&L was approved anyhow without changes. Again, at the end of January 2008 they increased the previous year-end numbers to have another favorable P&L. Finally when Credit Suisse reported its net income for the 2007 fourth quarter, management questioned the abnormally high prices recorded on bonds controlled by Serageldin. By February 2008 Credit Suisse announced their earnings were not correct and was in process of correcting the errors. By March Credit Suisse had reduced the actual fair value by $2.65 billion. These allegations against Kareem Serageldin signifies the highest level Wall Street executive to be charged criminally in a case relating to the 2008 financial meltdown (Bray & Eaglesham, 2012). Ethical Issues

Serageldin is responsible for the charge of conspiracy, falsifying books and records, and wire fraud within the U.S. The key unethical motivation in this case was greed. Prosecutors described this fraud as “a tale of greed run amok” in which Credit Suisse had a $2.65 billion write-down (Former Credit Suisse trader Serageldin arrested in Britain, 2012). Serageldin was looking after his personal interest and desire to collect the $7 million dollar year-end bonus. However, when the company discovered the overvalued bonds they withheld over $5 million of his pay. Serageldin’s moral character falls into Kohlberg’s Stage 2, acting in accordance with rules only to satisfy one’s own needs (Mintz & Morris, 2011). He even continued to increase the bonds value when the housing market was declining at an unbelievable...

Experts in fields from forestry to economics, even national security experts, pitched in to assess the range of possible consequences. It was impossible to make solid predictions given the complexity of the global system, the differences from one region to another, and the ways human society itself might try to adapt to the changes. But by the start of the 21st century, it was clear that climate change would bring serious harm to many regions — some more than others. Indeed many kinds of damage were already beginning to appear. (This essay does not try to cover the entire history of impact studies, but sketches some examples. Current scientific understanding of impacts is summarized at the end). Through the first half of the 20th century, when global warming from the greenhouse effect was only a speculation, the handful of scientists who thought about it supposed any warming would be for the good. Svante Arrhenius, who published the first calculations, claimed that nations like his native Sweden "may hope to enjoy ages with more equable and better climates."(1) Most people assumed that a "balance of nature" made catastrophic consequences impossible, and if any change did result from the "progress" of human industry, it would be all to the good. In any case nobody worried about the impacts of a climate change that scientists expected would only affect their remote descendents, several centuries in the future, if it happened at all.| - LINKS - for more on this see <=Public opinion|

A few scientists took a closer look in the late 1950s when they realized that the level of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) in the atmosphere might be rising, suggesting that the average global temperature might climb a few degrees Celsius before the end of the 21st century. Roger Revelle, the most senior of these researchers, publicly speculated that in the 21st century the greenhouse effect might exert "a violent effect on the earth's climate" (as Time magazine put it). He thought the temperature rise might eventually melt the Greenland and Antarctic icecaps, raising sea level enough to flood coastlines. Noting that climate had changed abruptly in the past, perhaps bringing the downfall of entire civilizations in the ancient world, in 1957 Revelle told a Congressional committee that the greenhouse effect might someday turn Southern California and Texas into "real deserts." He also remarked that the Arctic Ocean might become ice-free, to Russia's advantage. Everyone understood this was all speculation, more science fiction than scientific prediction. Another senior scientist, more cautious, told his colleagues that they should take seriously the possibility of "warming, and possible changes in rainfall and cloudiness" by the early 21st century. Meanwhile a pair of graduate students reported that the CO2 greenhouse effect "could raise such problems as coastal flooding due to rise in sea level and increased aridity in certain areas."| <=>Revelle's result | More scientists began to look at the matter after 1960, when observations showed the level of CO2 in the atmosphere was indeed rising rapidly. In 1963 a path-breaking meeting on "Implications of Rising Carbon Dioxide Content of the Atmosphere" was convened by the private Conservation Foundation. "Conservation" was the traditional term for a movement that was developing into "environmentalism," centered on the growing realization that human activities had expanded to the point where they could damage vital ecosystems on a global scale. Participants in the meeting began to frame greenhouse warming as an environmental problem — something "potentially dangerous" to biological systems as well as to humans.(2)| | The meeting set the pattern...

Management and Leadership

As defined by Peter Drucker “Management is tasks, management is discipline, but management is also people. Every achievement of management is the achievement of a manager. Every failure is a failure of a manager.” As per the meaning ‘management is tasks’ explain that management is responsible for planning, coordinating and carrying out many tasks. ‘Management is discipline’ can be explained as set of practices used to maximize the efficiency of the people at work. Guiding and organizing them. ‘Management is also people’ that is a social group under which manager exercises his powers on his subordinates with skills. Management is the process of designing and maintaining an environment in which individuals an environment in which individuals work together efficiently to accomplish selected goals of the firm. There are five main functions of management: * Planning: selecting missions and objectives as well as the actions to achieve them, which requires decision making. * Organizing: establishing an intentional structure of roles for people to fill in an organization. * Staffing: Hiring people on the vacant positions of the organization * Leading: influencing and motivating people to work towards organization goals. * Controlling: measuring and correcting individuals so that they adhere to plans. The aim of all managers should be to create a surplus, by establishing an environment in which people can accomplish group goals with the least amount of time, money, materials and personal dissatisfaction. Another way of achieving the aim of managers is that they must raise productivity of individuals by making them effective and efficient. “Managing means leading, making things happen through people: for that is relevant to all levels of management, not just the top management.” Sir Peter Parker Managers have formal authority and status as per the level of hierarchy and have to perform many different roles. * Interpersonal roles which deal with the relations with other people in the organization. The manager is a symbol and represents the organization in matters of formality. He has the authority in which he is responsible for hiring, and influencing and guiding subordinates. He has to involve in relationships other than his own department e.g to other departments or outside the organization. * Informational roles relates to the sources and communication of information. He has to monitor the information to develop an understanding of the organization and its environment. He can communicate information obtained from outside the organization to inside and to his subordinates. * The decisional role involves the making of strategic decisions, correcting unexpected situations, allocating resources to achieve efficiency in the organization and negotiating with other individuals.

The basic question to be asked is; what is leadership? Can you develop it? Is it by birth or can be developed? The action, style or characteristics of a leader good in one context, could be ineffective in another. Leadership is usually associated with the qualities, abilities, skills and the influence on others. It can be further explained by the ability to influence others to accomplish some objectives. That is a leader leads the group to accomplish certain goals. Leadership is usually contrasted with management. Management is defined as getting things done from others while leadership is getting others to do things. Therefore leadership is related to motivating and influencing others. It involves communicating, interacting and managing relationships within an organization to move towards ones highest inspirations. Effective leadership involves:

* Considering the health and ecology of the larger systems of which the leader is a member. * Managing the balance of relationships and tasks in the achievement of organizational outcomes within a larger system. * Managing tasks and...

- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a range of neurodevelopment disorders characterized by social impairments, communication difficulties, and repetitive patterns of behavior. These signs usually begin before a child is three years old. Some parents report the change as being sudden, and that their children start to reject people, act strangely, and lose language and social skills they had previously acquired. In other cases there is a plateau of progress so that the difference between the child with autism and other children the same age becomes more noticeable. It is important to note that not all signs of autism appear in all autistic children. The degrees in which they appear may vary as well. But in its mildest forms, autism is more like a personality difference linked to difficulties in understanding social conventions. - Most children improve as they mature to adulthood, but social and communication difficulties may persist. The lack of demonstrated empathy is possibly the most dysfunctional aspect of Asperger syndrome. Individuals with AS experience difficulties in basic elements of social interaction. People with Asperger syndrome often display behavior, interests, and activities that are restricted and repetitive and are sometimes abnormally intense or focused. Although individuals with Asperger syndrome acquire language skills without significant general delay and their speech typically lacks significant abnormalities. - Males are four times more likely to have ASD than females. Are we underestimating the abilities of autistic children? Standardized assessments present a host of difficulties. When testing children with ASD, it may be difficult or impossible to adhere to the administration guidelines and still elicit the student’s best performance. Tests that are highly dependent on language comprehension, for example, may be biased against students with ASD.

- The hallmark feature of ASD is impaired social interaction.  A child’s primary caregivers are usually the first to notice signs of ASD.  As early as infancy, a baby with ASD may be unresponsive to people or focus intently on one item to the exclusion of others for long periods of time.  Children with ASD may fail to respond to their names and often avoid eye contact with other people.  They have difficulty interpreting what others are thinking or feeling because they can’t understand social cues, such as tone of voice or facial expressions, and don’t watch other people’s faces for clues about appropriate behavior. Noted autistic Temple Grandin described her inability as being "like an anthropologist on Mars". TEMPLE GRANDIN VIDEO

- Symptoms of autism include varying levels of difficulty with social interaction, including verbal and nonverbal communication, imitation, and empathy. Some scientists believe that impairments in autistic children's ability to imitate and empathize can be linked to dysfunction in the brain's mirror-neuron system. In one study, scientists demonstrated a clear link between a child's inability to imitate expressions on the faces of other people and a lack of activity in the mirror-neuron system. - Mirror neurons fire when an individual performs an action with a goal in mind. They also fire when one watches another individual perform that same action. Neuroscientists believe this "mirroring" is the neural mechanism by which the actions, intentions and emotions of other people can be automatically understood. - It has been proposed that this process of "movement simulation" enables us to understand the meanings and the goals of movements we observe. Must recognize movements or else we'll confuse different movements and attribute improper goals to the person we're observing). - Because individuals with autism have difficulty communicating socially and understanding the emotions and intentions of others, it has been hypothesized that they may have a dysfunction in...

Police are astounded a Southland man survived a crash that left his car split in half this morning.

The 20-year-old driver was heading south to Mataura from Gore at 5.30am on State Highway 1 this morning when his car left the road and hit a tree.

Sergeant Clint Wright, of Gore, said the driver appeared to have crossed the centre line and travelled across about 40m of grass before slamming into a tree.

The car then bounced off the tree and slid a further 10m before hitting another tree. The second impact was enough to shear the car in two.

The front half of the car was beside the second tree while the back half was 20m further down the road, Wright said.

The driver sustained moderate chest and back injuries and was flown to Southland Hospital by helicopter.

''He is very very lucky, very lucky,'' Wright said.

Initially, it was believed a second person was  missing after the crash.

However, after a thorough search of the area, police did not believe that was the case.

Police investigations were continuing into the cause of the crash and the investigation would include a test for the presence of alcohol, Wright said.

Senior Sergeant Matt Scoles, of Dunedin, said the highway was closed for a short time but was now open to a single lane and police urged caution to motorists.

''Oil and fuel have spilled onto the road making it difficult for clean up crews,'' Scoles said.

Roads were already icy so motorists needed to drive to the conditions, he said.

Gang boss 'Porky' jailed for drugs

Porky Rimene
JAILED: Paul Rodgers – aka Porky Rimene.

Senior police officer stood down over sex abuse investigation Invercargill shaken by deadly love triangle Staffer who stole $375,000 from Wellington school granted parole after almost 10 months in jail

One of the major players in supplying Wellington and Wairarapa methamphetamine has been jailed for 15 years.

Paul Peter Mawana Rodgers, also known as Porky Rimene, 40, was captain of the Wellington chapter of the Nomads gang and had a private sideline dealing drugs.

In the High Court at Wellington today Justice Stephen Kos said Rodgers had received at least $800,000 from unknown sources between January 2009 and February 2011, and that was likely to be a conservative estimate of what he made from drug dealing.

Justice Kos said that from July 2009 to February 2011 Rodgers was also receiving a welfare benefit.

Rodgers pleaded guilty but disputed the scale of his dealing. Justice Kos accepted Rodgers had received at least 1.6kg of methamphetamine at least 60 per cent pure which he then "cut" and sold at the usual un-cut rate of about $100 for 0.1g.

The judge noted the irony that Rodgers cheating his customers by selling below-strength drugs counted in his favour as he was sentenced on the basis of the lower un-cut weight rather than when it was doubled to more than 3.3 kg by cutting.

However Justice Kos said he also took into account that "cutting" meant more people were supplied and were in debt to Rodgers who enforced payment by violence and taking their belongings in lieu of cash.

The court heard Rodgers liked to spend his money on classic American V8 cars and customised motorbikes.

Rodgers pleaded guilty to supplying, offering, and conspiring to supply methamphetamine, taking part in an organised criminal group, conspiring to supply cannabis, conspiring to obstruct the course of justice, and money laundering.

He must serve at least seven years six months' jail of his 15 year sentence before he can be considered for parole.

Rodgers had tried to show he had at times used quite large quantities himself so had less available to sell, but Justice Kos disbelieved evidence about the scale of Rodgers' personal use.

Rodgers had also tried to prove more than 200g of methamphetamine was lost when a buried canister was moved by a bulldozer working on public land in Newtown. The judge preferred the evidence of one of Rodgers' co-offenders who said the drug had been found after an anxious search.

Although Rodgers had used methamphetamine he virtually gave up in a bid to control his violence against his partner and so he could keep his wits about him as his drug business grew.

Ad Feedback

Cognitive difficulties and memory loss were said to be hangovers from his drug-taking days.

Rodgers has more than 120 previous convictions but most were for violence and driving offences, with only two convictions for drugs.

'Sticky' pitch bogs down the All Whites' flow

FIFA official pleads guilty to corruption charges Team Wellington captain Bill Robertson hoping third time's the charm in OFC Champions League final

The All Whites gave the atmosphere at AMI Stadium a big tick, but felt the "sticky" turf prevented them playing a free-flowing game against Tahiti.

Defender Ben Sigmund - who was playing his first All Whites game in Christchurch, his hometown - said the 10,751-strong crowd were "fantastic and right into it".

"What they've done here with the stadium is great. You can almost touch the crowd and you can hear everything that's said.

"When it's your crowd, it's even better."

But Sigmund, skipper Ryan Nelsen and two-goal hero Michael McGlinchey said the surface made the ball difficult to shift quickly along the pitch.

"It was very hard to play on," Sigmund said. "You couldn't get it out of your feet.

"People like [wingers] Kosta Barbarouses and Marco [Rojas], that's what they're really good at but they couldn't get their rhythm. It was frustrating ..."

McGlinchey, New Zealand's midfield playmaker, said the pitch was "quite sticky" and the All Whites tried to "adjust to getting the ball out of their feet and moving it".

"It was quite difficult at times but it was the same for both teams, so there's not too much complaining."

Nelsen said the pitch was like "glue".

"It was very sticky, [with a] very tennis ball-type bounce," he said.

"You get it a lot of times when it gets really dry and isn't watered and it's a certain length.

"You get it when you play on rugby-type fields.

"It gets caught under your feet a lot and unfortunately it probably hindered the style we wanted to play.

"Obviously, we knew [Tahiti] were coming to be aggressive and we wanted to be able to pass through them. But it was kind of fuelling their fire because we couldn't get out of our feet properly and we couldn't get a touch. You always felt it was right on top of you.

"So we kind of had to go back to front a bit quicker to bypass their aggressiveness. That was the conditions and I think it evened out the teams a lot."

Nelsen also praised the crowd and said he wanted to thank the "passionate" Canterbury football public for turning out to support the All Whites.

The stadium hosted a national provincial premiership rugby match, between Canterbury and Bay of Plenty, two days before the All Whites' international.

GlassesUSA.com {Review}

As many of you may or may not know, I’m as blind as a bat...hehe! I have worn contacts for years now, but was in desperate need of a new pair of eyeglasses. I always have the worst time picking out glasses and frames that I feel fit my face and personality.  When it comes time to buy glasses most of the time I dread going to the eye doctor and almost always end up leaving empty handed because I couldn't decide on a pair I liked. Luckily, I was recently contacted by GlassesUSA.com to do a review of a pair of prescription glasses. I was gifted a $100 e-certificate to spend on a pair of glasses of my liking.

I admit I was completely stoked to do this review. I couldn’t wait to go on the site and pick out a pair of frames however, I was still a little apprehensive because I’m never able to find a pair that I love and the whole experience is always a bit overwhelming. Once on the site, my mind was put to ease, there were so many that I absolutely loved.
GEDC0044 (1024x768)
My glasses arrived in a cute case with a cleaning cloth :)
What I loved most about the GlassesUSA.com site was:
  • Great Prices. The prices are hugely affordable without lacking style.
  • Navigation was easy. You can narrow your search by color, size, style and price. You can even search a specific name or brand. That made it easy finding the perfect pair.
  • Customization. You can customize the glasses just as you would normally with tint, anti-glare and other upgrades to your lenses.
  • Virtual Mirror.  The virtual mirror allows you to upload a picture and virtually try the glasses on…sweet! I had a lot of fun with this and had my facebook fans help me chose the best pair using the my choices from the virtual mirror.
 Now came the hard part of deciding which frame to go with.
  • virtual mirror glasses usaOne thing I learned about the site though, is things move rather quickly so if you see a pair of glasses you love snatch them up because they'll probably sell out fast. All of my favorites sold out before I could tally up the votes! I really really loved pair D which I'm hoping they restock.  I really can't say anything negative about my experience with GlassesUSA! Which is always a plus for me! I'm completely satisfied with my specs!

    You should definitely head on over to GlassesUSA.com if you're in need of some sexy specs!
    Here's two awesome coupon codes for you!

    • Take 20% off any pair of eyeglasses and get FREE US shipping with the code: New2012
    • Take 10% off any order. Code: Blog10

    Thanks again GlassesUSA! I can't wait to purchase my second pair of frames!

How I Style Joggers from Pop UP Plus

If you've noticed a few things about me, you all know that I've come to love joggers pants, they are a great mix of style and chic, hehe. So naturally, when I was contacted by Pop Up Plus to participate in a style challenge of their Faux Leather Front Panel Joggers, I quickly headed to the site to see which color I would chose.  As you can see I chose the red snakeskin, but they are also available in blue and black. What I loved most about these joggers was the surprise element and this awesome print on the back of the pant. The printed accents add such a nice touch to the pants. Wouldn't you agree?

I really wanted the pants to stand out so I paired them with a Forever 21 basic cami that I made into a makeshift crop top and a white blazer to add a bit of structure to the look. Slid on my Zara lace up booties and my thrifted cuff necklace and the look was complete! I have to say I love it!

Be sure to catch up with Pop Up Plus and shop the site:

Also, if you like how I  the rocked the pants, head to the Pop Up Plus Instagram here to see how more ladies rocked theirs!

Have a great weekend, y'all!

The triple spires of Dolina 3
Dolina 3 is another caldron of the Csodavár / Cetăţile Ponorului karst playground complex (see also this photo and this photo).

The triple spires were referred to as 'Tátra-Mátra-Fátra' by Gyula Czárán (1847-1906), the great explorer of Bihar/Bihor Mts. who devoted a lot of his time, energy and great amounts of money to build hiking trails into the wild gorges and other sights of this spectacular area. Although a great deal of his work perished since then, even today tourists use much of what was constructed under his guidance more than a century ago!

Alice S. Rossi dies at 87; feminist author and scholar

In 1964, sociologist Alice S. Rossi caused a furor with a scholarly article called "Equality Between the Sexes: An Immodest Proposal." Discouraged that young women, including many of her brightest students, seemed "increasingly uncommitted to anything beyond early marriage, motherhood and a suburban house," she called for a redefinition of sex roles.

"This means," she wrote, "that tenderness and expressiveness should be cultivated in boys and socially approved in men" and "achievement need, workmanship and constructive aggression should be cultivated in girls and approved in women."

This "immodest proposal" seems mild today, but 45 years ago it sounded absurd, akin to asking the Marlboro Man to switch places with Donna Reed.

Traditionalists maligned Rossi as "a monster, an unnatural woman, and an unfit mother," she later recalled. One critic sent her husband a biting commentary cloaked in a condolence card: It lamented the "death" of his wife.

Rossi, who was 87 when she died of pneumonia Nov. 3 in Northampton, Mass., clearly wasn't a traditional wife. A researcher at several prestigious universities before she landed a faculty position at Goucher College in Maryland (and later at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst), she juggled an academic's life with her life as a married mother of three. She also was an activist who joined Betty Friedan in 1966 as a founding member of the National Organization for Women.

She later compiled a 1973 anthology of essential readings on feminist thought that became a staple of college courses on women's studies.

Her contributions as a feminist scholar "had an enormous impact on the rebirth of feminism," women's movement historian Ruth Rosen wrote several years ago.

Rossi was born Alice Schaerr in New York City on Sept. 24, 1922. Her mother was a housewife who later held a number of jobs, including seamstress and department store clerk, said Rossi's daughter Nina. Rossi often credited her father, an experimental machinist, for encouraging her to pursue her dreams.

During World War II, Rossi worked for the War Manpower Commission and the lend-lease program. After the war she resumed her education, graduating from Brooklyn College in 1947. In 1951, after a first marriage ended in divorce, she married Peter H. Rossi, a sociologist who later achieved eminence as an authority on survey analysis and homelessness. He died in 2006.

In addition to their daughter Nina, Rossi is survived by another daughter, Kristin; a son, Peter E.; and six grandchildren.

Although Rossi, like her husband, had a doctorate in sociology from Columbia, she was offered lowly positions as a research associate while he was given faculty appointments. She was a researcher at the University of Chicago when she wrote “Equality Between the Sexes,” published in a special issue of the Academy of Arts and Sciences journal Daedalus devoted to different perspectives on the status of American women. Her article was, according to Rosen, the most startling and "the one that would provide the greatest intellectual legitimacy for a women's movement."

Published the year after Friedan's "The Feminist Mystique," it outlined a three-pronged solution, including creating a network of child-care centers, "de-sex-linking" occupations to open up more opportunities for women and reversing the march to the suburbs so that both parents could work closer to home.

The article established Rossi's credentials as a feminist scholar, which led to meeting Friedan in 1966 and winning her first faculty position at Goucher in 1969. Her first year as a professor was, she later recalled, "a trial by fire": She taught seven courses while raising three small children and managing a 22-room house. That year she also joined the first board of the National Assn. for the Repeal of Abortion Laws (now NARAL Pro-Choice America) and helped organize the first women's caucus in the American Sociological Assn. (In 1982, she was elected president of the association.)

She left Goucher in 1974, in part because of its failure to make the women's college coeducational. (It began to admit men in 1986.)

Rossi spent the next 17 years at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where she was the Harriet Martineau professor of sociology. After her retirement in 1991, she continued to conduct research and write on issues related to gender, family, kinship and women at work.

The egalitarianism she preached was sometimes sorely lacking in her own marriage. When she had difficulty juggling career and family, her husband, with whom she co-wrote a book on parent-child relations, "wasn't backing me up in terms of picking up the slack in our family relationships," she said in a 2007 National Public Radio interview.

In that interview, Nina Rossi recalled deeply resenting her mother's career: "I remember . . . just sitting outside her study door crying and not being able to break in." They had a troubled relationship for years.

"There was a period of Nina's life . . . where I was a neglectful parent because of the busyness of my life, and I took shortcuts in parenting," Rossi said.

Although she rose to prominence with the argument that men needed to be more like women and women more like men, Rossi later focused on the biological differences between the sexes as the cause of women's social and political inequality.

Like her earlier embrace of androgyny, this position was controversial too. "People wanted to hear that the problems were all social and cultural," Nina Rossi said. "But she stuck to her guns. She was always unafraid to buck the trend."

Dublin Council wants to ban cars from city centre

Dublin Council wants to ban cars from city centre

Dublin City Council wants to ban cars from the heart of Dublin city centre.

In the new proposals, motorists and taxi drivers will be banished from Westmorland Street, D’Olier Street and College Green.

All private traffic will also be banned from Bachelors Walk and Georges Quay.

The Council is proposing that a large car park be built at Heuston Station where commuters arriving from west of the city can park and ride the Luas to work.

Conor Faughnan, the director of Consumer Affairs with The AA, said the existing public transport system was not capable of providing additional capacity, and that it could not be considered a "victory" to drive cars out of the city.

"Some of the measures appear to be gratuitous and you wonder what purpose they are serving," he added.

He told The Last Word with Matt Cooper that “a third of commuters come in by private car” because the city is only “physically capable of carrying 48 per cent of commuters on public transport”

“Dublin is only physically capable of taking less than half if it’s daily commuters by public transport.

“That’s what sets us apart from other cities, it’s not selfish car drivers.

“It’s not like we have lazy motorists driving alongside empty Luas trams in the morning.

“Every public transport asset we have is stuffed to capacity.

“In London, before the congestion charge was introduced they had almost 90 per cent of commuters using public transport.

“In Dublin we have an army of people who have no other choice, if they can't use a car to access Dublin city centre the public transport alternative is not there."

The Dublin City Centre Transport Plan from the council and the National Transport Authority (NTA), says the number of trips being made into the city is forecast to increase by 20pc by 2023, and that the road network simply cannot cope.

Unless road space is reallocated in favour of public transport, it will result in widespread congestion.

"Taxi drivers are being pushed into cubby holes, dead ends and off the main thoroughfare which is going to affect our business," said Tony Rowe from the National Transport Assembly of Ireland, which also represents taxi drivers.

Car park owners also raised concerns, with the Irish Parking Association saying reducing access for motorists would not only have a "detrimental effect" on car parks, but also impact on business.

"A lot of the measures, going along the headline items like the 24-hour bus gates and things like that, we wouldn't be in favour of. We don't think they are necessary," he said.

But the city council insisted that its plan, which runs until 2023, is needed to avoid the "severe pressure" on the city experienced during the boom years.

It expects some €150m to be spent on a range of sustainable transport projects including bus infrastructure, cycling and walking schemes and continued roll-out of Real Time Passenger Information systems.

Some works, such as the upgrade of College Green, are already largely funded under the Luas Cross-City scheme, due for completion in 2017.

The council said that "no specific" car parks had been identified for use as taxi ranks, and that changes would only be on an "agreed basis" with owners.

The study is also proposing construction of a car parking facility close to Heuston Station, where motorists can switch to public transport.

Business group DublinTown, which represents more than 2,500 businesses in the city, gave the plan cautious welcome, with chief executive Richard Guiney saying in terms of making the city a more attractive location, it was "very welcome".

"I think we are in for some very exciting times. How people are accessing the city is changing," he added.

Public consultation will begin on the pans today and peopel can view the proposals on

I will be posting some photos later because I have a work online to prioritize.

Boxboy! (3DS eShop) Review

Boxboy! kicks off SuperPhillip Central's month of Nintendo 3DS review in style. Nothing like a greatly reviewed game to start things off. There will be even more Nintendo 3DS games reviewed this month, both digital and retail, so I hope you'll look forward to them. For now, take a peek at HAL Laboratory's latest, Boxboy!

It's hip to be square.

From the developer behind Kirby comes Boxboy, another in the line of creative titles from HAL Laboratory. Although the game appears simple in concept-- you play as a box name Qbby, able to extend boxes of the same size from his own body to solve puzzles and reach otherwise inaccessible platforms-- Boxboy quickly turns the complexity dial up to 11 in a rather fast fashion.

Things start out simple enough, but Boxboy
can get mighty challenging in its level design!
As stated, Qbby's most pronounced ability in Boxboy is the power to create a chain of boxes from his body that can be situated to solve puzzles. One of the early uses of Qbby's abilities is to spawn three boxes resembling a staircases so he can reach a higher platform. Another has him creating an amount of boxes in the shape of a hook to hang off of another higher platform. With a press of the Y button, Qbby can contact the chain of boxes, allowing him access to the platform where the box that served as the "hook" once was.

Qbby can unlatch himself from the box chains he makes.
It's paramount to do for this particular situation.
The catch with summoning boxes is that each level has a set amount of boxes that can be summoned at one time, and each time Qbby extends a series of boxes, the last series of boxes disappears. Getting crowns in levels, collectibles that when all are collected in a level give the player a "perfect clear" rating, means that Qbby can only use a set amount of boxes total before the the crown(s) disappear.

On many occasions, boxes spawned by Qbby can
be used a protection against harmful hazards.
Beating a level earns the player credits that can be spent on time and score attack challenges, new costumes for Qbby (each with their own impressive amounts of animations), and even tips and tricks for different level mechanics within the game.

Each of Boxboy's worlds houses a specific set of themed challenges. Some deal with buttons that open and close doors when force is pressed on them that Qbby must place boxes on to hold them down. Others deal with conveyor belts, electrically charged blocks, gravity, and many more. The great thing about Boxboy and how it handles new twists and mechanics is that the game eases you into each new level gimmick. You're rarely unsure of how to go about solving a given section of level because the game did not prepare you for its challenge. Perhaps the only negative concerning the level design and new twists introduced to players is that many of the mechanics in Boxboy only show up in a handful of levels (aka one world) before the game moves on to a new mechanic.

Hold down this button with one of Qbby's boxes to
make this dark trio of squares appear for Qbby to walk on.
Levels in Boxboy feature plenty of checkpoints, so failure is seldom truly punishing. It definitely is never frustrating. No, when Qbby fails by getting stuck or taking damage, he starts at a checkpoint, which is always at the start of a new puzzling section of a level. Players can also press the shoulder buttons of the Nintendo 3DS to manually restart from a checkpoint if they get stuck.

If for some reason a section of level is something a player can't wrap his or her head around, the option of getting a hint is available through spending one of the Nintendo 3DS system's Play Coins. A quick picture of the location and amalgamation of boxes needed to progress in the level is shown, meaning that as long as a player has enough Play Coins, they can ask for a hint if they cannot come up with the proper solution on their own.

Much like Pushmo, Boxboy is yet another excellent Nintendo 3DS eShop entry from HAL Laboratory, showing that the developer still has plenty of creative bones in its collective body. Containing clever puzzle design, an innovative concept, and a creative and helpful hint system to allow for any and all players to beat its many levels, Boxboy is a fantastic offering that shows that it's truly hip to be square through its four hour plus playtime and affordable price.

I have stretch marks on my breasts due to pregnancy and breastfeeding. I am...

I have stretch marks on my breasts due to pregnancy and breastfeeding. I am interested in having breast augmentation because I am very small chested, about a 34A/AA. Is there any way to get rid of the stretch marks on my breasts – will the implants help to make the stretch marks fade or will they make them look worse?

Stretch marks are actually scars within the skin....the result of broken elastic fibers. There is no treatment available to remove those stretch marks without removing the skin itself. Stretch marks which are initially red will usually fade and whiten with time, and become progressively less noticeable. Sometimes the appearance of persistently erythematous (red) stretch marks can be improved with lasers used to lighten them, and there are other "light-based" treatments that claim to improve (but never remove) obvious stretch marks.

Breast implants, by re-stretching the skin, will usually make stretch marks appear far less obvious....not worse. But one word of caution - stretch marks indicate a loss of skin elasticity and support. Too large an implant may place too great a stress on that already damaged skin, and may accelerate skin thinning and breast sagging, so it's important to carefully discuss with your board certified plastic surgeon what implant and procedure would be best for you.

Breast implants can cause stretch marks in people who are susceptible to the formation of stretch marks.

There is a specific laser technique to improve stretch marks using non-ablative fractional erbium laser resurfacing.

If you do decide to have breast implants then implants smaller than 350 cc would possibly reduce the risk of further stretch marks.
