Andy: What an unusual idea for displaying a lookbook, I like it!

New M A D E Tee – By The Good Union

by Andy on April 27, 2015

We are excited to release our brand new M A D E custom hand letterpress tee. Made is the core idea of our brand & product craftsmanship. The M A D E custom hand-letterpress tee is a simple endorsement of well crafted products made in the USA. Each shirt was individually hand stamped using 1940’s vintage wood type blocks. The unique part is each shirt lettering may vary in darkness of coloring & spacing. Our goal was to create a real world industrial style tee. The lower hem of shirt is hand sewn with our workshop approved tag. Lastly each shirt come package in a 10×14 inch drawstring burlap bag. For a limited time receive 10% off use discount code made10 @ checkout!

Andy: These guys never release a lemon do they?

Bridge & Burn — Portland based clothing brand has just launched their new Wind & Water T-Shirt Series. These super soft tees for men and women are sewn to custom specifications in San Francisco. Find it at

Andy: Very nicely done indeed, I’m not too hot on the surfer shirt but if you’d ever seen me on a board you’d understand why.

Hey Andy. It has been a while since you have last heard from us, but we were busily working on our totally new website!

We also were working on some new designs (LOVE OF MONEY, CAN OR CAN’T, PIGEONS LOVE NY) & products too (caps, bracelets, keychain, etc).

Please check out our new products and let me know what you think. Cheers my friend!

Here is the link to our brand new site —>

Andy: It’s really great that Anthony sent in this submission because I’d been meaning to write up a post all week but everything has been disrupted recently (power outages, telephone poles being replaced, Grandmas that need taking out to lunch) and I didn’t get around to it. I don’t think there’s another brand I’ve ever written about where I want to wear as many of their items as Random Objects, I think they just mash very well with my personal style, to the point where even I, someone with 300 tees in the closet, is tempted to put an order in. Can’t fault the new site either, puts everything you want to see front and centre and let’s the clothes do the talking.

Tostadora is an online marketplace to customize unique and original products! With over 135,000 original designs created by independent artists around the world, you have the opportunity to customize your unique T-Shirts among other products from a selection of over 22 styles of T-shirts, as well as hoodies and iPhone cases.

Be quick! The offer lasts only on the 4th of May.

Andy: As much as I like the designs, I have to wonder what the legal status is of them selling Star Wars images with few alterations, not that it seems to be clamped down on much these days.

Andy: These guys always have the coolest lookbook images.

by Andy on April 23, 2015

California Cut is a new brand launching in Ventura, a beautiful coastal town in Southern California. We are following a simple formula: Original designs hand-printed in-house on authentic high-quality made in USA T-shirts so that you look good and feel comfortable. Our small operation flexes some serious design muscle and having our own production facility allows us to experiment and develop great print techniques. We are influenced by streetwear fashion, surf culture, pop art, and nature.

The artist brings 18 years of commercial art experience from videogame art development, visual effects for motion pictures, television, and feature animation. The business partner is a former project manager at a Los Angeles design studio. We also happen to be married to each other.

Andy: Well designed and well priced, one of my favourite combos!

Baymax Soars Design on Threadless

by Andy on April 23, 2015

So there was this Big Hero 6 competition on Threadless and from it emerged 15 worthy challengers. We now have a week to get as many views, shares and sales to decide who will be the big (hero) winner! This is my entry to the competition which hopefully does a good job of showing how great the film was. If you agree then maybe pop on over to the site and grab yourself one. There are also loads of other really cool designs in the competition too! And they’re all available in mens, women and kids sizes!

Andy: I keep meaning to watch this movie but never get around to it. That means I don’t understand this design, but it sure does look pretty.

Paw Addict, fresh & furry.

by Andy on April 21, 2015

Paw Addict is here, all brand new for the pet lover in you. Its all about the pets here, that faithful furry friend til the end. Our trademark “5 heart paw” started it all. It all came about with our kooky animated character Vudog, which is not really an apparel brand but we do sell some goofy T-shirts. In selling our shirts at big events Like Comic Con and pet advocate shows, we found a real strong attraction to our “5 heart paw” design by our female customers.
So we decided to get to work with full focus on apparel for the pet lover. Paw Addict just launched and kicks it off with 22 female designs. We’ll be mostly female focused, but sure we’ll be doing some male and kids stuff too.

Andy: Considering how I tore into Vudog when they first submitted to HYA it’s surprising they came back for more. Looking at the Vudog site though I can see they’ve made a lot of improvements and smoothed out the rough edges that had me concerned in the first place. You can tell that Paw Addict has benefited from the experiences gained with the first venture as it is a much more complete looking brand from the outset.

Arttee Apparels – NEW RELEASES

by Andy on April 21, 2015

“Roboster” by AlFatah. An illustration of a robot for your cute and unique style. Simple yet catchy. Get the T-shirt here:

“Tarik Upih” by Fadhil Zubir. The idea is simple – to combine two different culture, Malaysian traditional game and modern comic superheroes. Get the T-shirt here:

“The Funeral” by Naiara. A beautiful piece of art showing two animals with a cold and dark forest background from a talented designer all the way from Spain. Get the T-shirt here:

All designs are available at

Andy: I have to admit this is one of the times I wish the submission system allowed for 5 pictures to be uploaded since it’s a little silly to be promoting 5 designs but you guys only get to see 3 of them. Cool looking designs, and it’s not often that we have a Malaysian brand on the site!

Winter Lotus SS’15 collection is live

by Andy on April 20, 2015

Hey guys, we’re a men’s streetwear brand in Los Angeles.

Fusing street fashion with high-end fashion, we focus on interesting silhouettes, quality, and honest price points.

We just released our S/S’15 collection. You can check it out at and use the code ‘SMOG‘ for 10% off

Andy: Not the kind of thing I’d wear since I’m 30 and not cool, but a couple of weeks ago I was on a night out with people who haven’t yet had their hopes and dreams crushed (aka “people under 25″) and they’d have liked this.

Solitary was born from the love of all things space. It is an attempt to contribute to humanity’s future in space by inspiring with design and helping people represent what they believe in. Solitary shirts are ethically made, printed and shipped from Los Angeles, California.

Andy: I really like the concept and style of these designs. I’m sure it will come as no surprise that I would like to see the real shirts instead of the mockups, but even I’m getting bored of having to say that several times a week, maybe other people don’t care about it as much as me.

New tees from Inka Inka

by Andy on April 19, 2015

I do like the growth of Inka Inka so far, they’re starting to put together a very respectable group of tees that all have a similar style and theme. That’s something I like to see in a new shop, it shows a bit of planning that can be surprisingly missing more often than you’d expect with new brands.

Kushington Budz III aka Da SNOB… No MiD!

by Andy on April 14, 2015

Da SNOB Clothing. is an independent brand based out of the Atlanta GA, that offers quality goods. By combining original classic design with quality hemp tees, Da SNOB Clothing strives to produce classic, timeless pieces some are released in limited quantities. Since 2005 we have been heavily involved with ATL’S underground sub culture. From years of inhaling & graffiti tagging, to cutting hair and Disc jockeying, Da SNOB Clothing Embodies a lifestyle and has been 8 years in the making. Our brand represents the 420 culture, back packers and everything in between. So if you’re down with KB3, your down with Da SNOB Clothing. Support Your independent brand.

Andy: There seems to be quite a large disconnect between the style of the shirts shown and how they describe the brand, I read the text first then looked at the tees and I was pretty surprised at what I saw. They’re also a bit lacking on making their brand the forefront of their website, the front page is mostly dedicated to the “top 10 stoner cartoon characters” which is fairly fun but doesn’t really tell me about them on the main page of the site, and then when you click on their About Us page you get auto-play music. To top it all off, none of these shirts are even available to buy because they are going to be running a Kickstarter campaign soon. I understand that brands are excited when they’re getting going but it makes no sense to submit your website to a place like Hide Your Arms when you don’t have anything for sale. Lastly, what is MiD?

Astraeus Clothing Co. – New UK Brand.

by Andy on April 14, 2015

Astraeus Clothing Co. are brand new UK based company who have just launched their first collection of 4 designs, inspired by old tattoo flash and car & motorcycle imagery.

Andy: I really like this style and I can’t see any weak points in their website so looks like a good launch to me, looking forward to seeing more from them.

Team Tumbleweeds Debut T-Shirt.

by Andy on April 14, 2015

Based in Bristol, Team Tumbleweed is a new company merging a love of fauna with an enjoyment of hand drawn illustrating.

Currently housed on Etsy and Big Cartel, TT started out making stickers but has expanded onto it’s first T-shirt.

Screen printed on 100% cotton Gildan, this bold but simple design showcases our favorite dog breeds.

Although starting small, we’re hoping to have an online store with more products in the next couple of months.

Andy: It’s not my style, but I’m sure cooler people than me could get away with it.

Designs that make a statement

by Andy on April 14, 2015

Street Bully is a streetwear and lifestyle clothing based in Los Angeles Ca. Our goal is create bold and distinct designs and illustrations, leaving a lasting mark not only in the industry but also in the street culture at large. We won’t make a huge stock because we believe we can keep new designs flowing month to month. We walk on the edge of street and normalcy. Some of our designs are regional favorites. We believe that Street Bully can be a global brand and already have taken steps to market in other countries. If our potential clients want to get noticed when they walk in to a room, they will become a Street Bully.

We have a discount code right now for everyone that’s interested in the Bully brand. “HIDEYOURARMS” in the checkout cart will give you free shipping for any items in the continental USA until 4/22/15

Andy: There’s not really anything wrong here but I do think they are taking a risk with that Lamborghini logo shirt, I’m not sure if changing the words at the top of it are enough of a change when as far as I can tell the bull is exactly the same. I’m no lawyer but I doubt that is enough of a change to be counted as fair use or changing it enough to get away with using it.

Your favourite 80’s movies

by Andy on April 9, 2015

At Buggin Clothing we love movies and graphic t-shirts. We’ve screen printed your favourite characters like Chunk from The Goonies onto quality cotton t-shirts.

Andy: I would absolutely wear all of these, even if I suspect they’re infringing copyright but will likely get away with it.

by Andy on April 9, 2015

We are a SoCal based brand printing simple graphics on quality materials. We like to make stuff that we can we in the casual SoCal atmosphere but still appeal to the rest of the world. We started as a one man shop and now utilizing friends and family to help with orders and trade shows. I hope you like our brand and our simple but creative designs. Much love from SoCal.

Andy: As ever, I’d like to see some real photos in their shop and now just mockups, but I do seem to say that at least twice a day so maybe I’m the only person out there that values knowing what something actually looks like.

Solehab just launched!

by Andy on April 9, 2015

Solehab Sets the Bar for Unique, Artistic, Elegantly Simple Apparel.

April 3, 2015 (Dubai, UAE) – Solehab announces the launch of its new signature apparel brand featuring clean, minimalist designs that celebrate the uniqueness and creativity of each individual.

Released in March 2015, the inaugural Solehab collection was created by Alistair Jameson, a French/American creative director who draws inspiration from a fascination with the complexities and simplicities found in nature and the design world. The Solehab line includes men and women’s T-shirts, featuring simple yet eye-catching iconography and typography designs.

“The market is saturated with over the top big designs, some of which are truly a piece of art, however I believe that we are all unique, and this should be reflected in the clothes we wear and what we have around us. Solehab is made for the unique creative mind. I wanted to go with the minimal approach that says less is more, and let the design speak without being loud,” Jameson says.

He adds: “I have always been an artist at heart. From drawing as a kid to sculpting wood, and later bringing this creativity into my professional career, designing both for print and digital. Just like in my profession as a Creative Director, I wanted to apply this creativity to my clothing line and bring the inspiration I give to my clients directly to the Solehab brand.”

Solehab T-shirt designs include intriguing prints such as Cassette, Tape 8, Gramophone, Gradient, Spaceship and Swirl, available in red, blue, white, yellow, and grey colours both for men and women. The clothing brand is available for purchase online at

About the designer
Alistair Jameson, a native of Belgium who has traveled, lived, and worked around the world, considers himself “a hippie at heart”, commenting, “I love nature, the complexity and yet the simplicity of it. From a snow flake to a leaf of a tree to the structure and organisation of ants and bees, for example – all fascinate me.” Solehab aims to highlight the common, the regular, and the mundane with a brand new selection of one-of-a-kind, bold yet minimal apparel.

Andy: Cool tees, reasonable prices, what’s not to like?

TV Shows I’m Following

I decided to follow suit from my review about Books I want to re-read. Only It’s not going to be shows I want to re-watch but ‘Shows I’m fllowing’. It’s easier and quicker to list the shows I’m following then my favorite books. Listing my favorite books would take… Oh, probably forever.

I’m sure there will be more shows in the future (I love watching TV shows) so I’ll either add them here to the list or make a continuation post. Well…

Shall we begin?

One more thing: *This post is spoiler free for all of the shows I’ll be mentioning. In case of any occasional spoilers, I’ll be sure to mark it*

Once Upon A time

Emma has come a long way, hasn’t she?

I can hardly remember the Emma of season 1.

The show gets so much more better after season 1.

Season 4 finale gave me a huge shock. This season is going to be… interesting.

Yeah… sorry, I’m using some vague descriptions here.

In any case, Once Upon A Time is one of the best shows I’ve watched (and still watching). It’s all the fairy tales you ever heard of (and even some you didn’t) mushed up together and twisted.

True love, Good and Evil, Villains and Heroes… It’s all there. Just… darker. More interesting that way, don’t you think?

I love fairy tales retelling, especially the twisted ones.

The show has already been renewed for a 6th season.

You should definitely give it a try.

Agents Of Shield

I love almost everything of Marvel and I love this show but lately… well, lately things haven’t been going that very well on the show. They made some bad decisions and even though the action is still good, what’s going on there overall is… well, I don’t know where the show is headed but if it keeps at it, I might lose interest.

Season 1 was the best in the show. I loved that season. Season 2 was also good (If frustrating for certain things). It’s actually season 3 that started to make me doubt it.

But anyway, It’s a science fiction and fantasy and superheroes and super-villains and Hydra and Shield… if, like me, you love all that stuff… You should watch it. Because other than my disappointment of the show on late, It’s a good show.

This is a show about a group of geniuses who work with Homeland on special cases.

The show is loosely based on the real Walter O’Brien but other than the fact that TV show Walter O’Brien and the real Walter O’Brien have the same name and are both geniuses, I don’t see any other real base on the real Walter’s life. I may be wrong but this is my take on things.

I’m actually glad it’s the case. The reason I was hesitant to start it was because I’m not a fun of documentary or shows\books based on something real that actually happened to someone. I think it’s because there is way too much reality in real life and when I watch a show\read a book, I don’t want reality seeping into it as well.

In any case, this show is surprisingly good. I always enjoy watching a new episode every week. It’s fun and I always had a thing for the genius aspect in shows (doctor who, Sherlock) and books.

It’s the kind of show that keeps getting better and better. Season 2 is even better than season 1. And the show has already been renewed for a season 3.

The Blacklist

An FBI agent (Elizabeth\Liz Keen) Life is changed forever by the demand of a top wanted Criminal on the FBI most wanted list to talk to her (and only her).

From there, everything goes to hell for Liz.

If you love action, Mystery, a fun mastermind criminal, Romance here and there, intrigue and some good times… You should really give this show a go.

I really enjoyed it. And I can’t *wait* to find out the biggest question of this show that has been taunting us for the past 3 season! I have a feeling it’s coming very-very soon…

*spoiler (do not read unless you’ve watched until season 3 episode 16)*

I just have to say… does anyone else feel the best times of the show were the whole going rouge and blond-haired Liz? I loved every minute of it (!). I felt like it was the best time for Liz and Red.

And then they came back, Liz got pregnant (I did not like this sudden development) and changed her hair to black again (*sigh*). The last few episodes of the show has been really strange…

*End of spoiler*

The blacklist has been renewed for a 4th season.

A new show that I immediately fell for from the first episode.

Lucifer is just so… Hilarious. It’s just a cool and fantastic show. And Lucifer… well. Let’s just say It’s worth watching just for him.

He’s such a fun character!

I can’t say much more about this show because it’s rather new, but I just know I’m going to love it (who am I kidding? I’m already loving it).

Fantasy, demons, angels, god, Lucifer and a seemingly regular detective (seemingly. I have that feeling she’s more than she seems).

I was addicted to this series in the summer of last year. I was basically glued to my laptop, watching it non-stop.

Castle is so funny, the romance between him and Beckett is frustrating and you want sometimes (actually, most of the times) to make Beckett see sense (or choke her until she does), but at the same time you can’t help but root for them and ship them. And it’s totally worth it.

Castle is a crime-action show that centers around a famous author and a detective who finds herself in the situation where she has to work with him to solve crimes.

Castle is funny and such a great character. Season 1 is my least favourite but you have to go through it to get to the good stuff. This show gets better and better with every season. Season 3 being the beginning of the best.

What I love about this show is that even though each episode is another mystery, another murder, there is always a bigger picture hanging above them in every season. One more thing I love about this show: Every season there are those ‘unique’ episodes I adore.

If you see you enjoy this show, 8 seasons is not so overwhelming now is it?

It wasn’t to me. I actually didn’t want it to end.

At the moment, castle has yet to be renewed for a 9th season.

I wrote a review of seasons 1 & 2 & 3 (first 10 episodes) of reign but there was no ‘spoiler free’ section in the review so I’ll do it now.

I did not expect to love reign as much as I did. I sure did love it more than I thought.

Reign is a historical fiction\drama\romance\court politics\the occasional fantasy aspect show.

As Mary said: “Politics, backstabbing, murder. Another day in French court.”

It describes the show perfectly. The only thing she left out is the romance.

The show has already been renewed to fourth season and I’m excited to find out what will happen next…

How To Get Away With Murder (a.k.a. HTGAWM)

This is some dark and twisted show. And when I say Dark and Twisted, regarding to this show, I mean them to their full potential.

Yet there is something about it that makes you keep watching… the mystery, perhaps? I always enjoyed a good mystery and this show is full of it.

Lies, betrayal, murder, more lies, more murder, more betrayal. Oh, and some romance that somehow finds it’s way through the murder, lies and betrayals.

It’s dark and it’s twisted. I can’t say it’s a favourite show of mine but I’m constantly intrigued by it.

So if any of it appeals to you, or you’re just looking for something interesting to watch… see what you think about HTGAWM.

It has has been renewed for a third season.

Stitchers follows a university student named Kirsten who suffers from a fictional condition called temporal dysplasia, which means she cannot sense the passing of time. It make her look unemotional and uncaring. Because of her condition she’s recruited for a government program in which she basically ‘stitches’ into a dead person’s brain and can see his memories, his life and thus solve the crime of how he\she has been killed.

Sounds weird, I know, but it’s a very good show. Kirsten’s condition is so intriguing and being someone who doesn’t understand social situations, we see some funny times as well.

If you love science fiction with a bit of fantasy and fun and likeable characters, you should watch stitchers.

Season 2 has started airing. There isn’t information yet about a season 3.

Out of all the aspects of fantasy\science fiction I think I’ve watched\read about Zombies the less.

I watched the movie World War Z (great movie, by the way) and… well, that’s all I can recall. I was never drawn to the Zombie thing. It was too… I don’t know, disgusting? Horror-like? Not appealing?

I tried to watch the walking dead but sorry, couldn’t get further away after what I saw in the first episode. I’m not a squeamish person but even I have my limits, and people who eat brains and other body parts? that’s my limit.

Izombie though… I like where they took the whole ‘zombie’ thing. It’s not the rotten flesh, no conscious, makes grunting noises, hands reached out kind of zombie (not as long as they eat brains, anyway). Do they eat brains? yes. You can’t get passed that. If they don’t eat brains then they are not zombies, now are they? But other than that the Izombie zombies are not like we see in the other movies\shows. Aside from looking really pale (both in hair color and skin color) and eating brains, they are perfectly funcional. They can even easily blend in with the community if they wish to.

So yes. Izombie follows Liv, a young doctor, turned Zombie after a boat party that went drastically sideways. After the incident she had no choice but to break up with the fiance she loved and go from a successful doctor to working at the morgue.

I love the comic aspect in this show – it’s really cool.

Liv is funny and sarcastic and I very much like her.

Izombie has been renewed for a season 3.

The Flash

The flash… well, not much to say about that. I basically enjoy almost every super-hero show\movie. They are always fun to watch. Even if they are not amazing (though some of them are amazing), they are fun.
So basically, the flash is a science fiction\fantasy show following a guy named Barry Allen, who gets the power to run fast after an accident involving a particle accelerator. the problem? other people in the city has developed special powers as well, and most of them use those powers for the worst. Berry becomes the flash to fight them off and protect his city.

Okay, I just have to say: both the flash and Arrow has that thing about ‘protecting their city’. sorry, but I just don’t get it. I get protecting the people you love, I get fighting evil and protecting the innocent… those are the kind of things I love and admire. But protecting their city? when they say ‘I’ll protect my city’ I just… sorry, nope, I don’t feel it. I get that they actually want to protect the people who live in the city but when they say ‘protect my city’ I just can’t relate to it.

That being said, I always enjoy watching a couple of episodes of the flash every now and then.

The show has been renewed for a season 3.

Arrow is the same for me as the flash with the ‘saving my city’ and being a fun show to watch.

Arrow does seem to have more fantasy then the flash lately.

I love Oliver & Felicity.

Arrow has the more serious vibe to it. Basically the show tells the story of Oliver queen, a guy who has been stranded on an island for five years and came home changed forever. When he returns he becomes the Arrow – some kind of robin hood who preys on those who prey on the innocents. Slowly he starts to recruit teammates who will become his anchor and his friends.

Like with the flash, I enjoy watching a couple episodes of this show every now and then. Oh and, If you plan on watching Arrow or The flash you might want to watch them both because they tend to intertwine from time to time. You don’t have to – you’ll still understand things without it – but it’s more fun that way.

Arrow has been renewed for a 5th season.

The Vampire Diaries

I love this show.

It’s one of my all times favourite.

I’ll forever ship Damon and Elena (the best couple ever!). I absolutely LOVE Damon. How could one not love him?

But the show should have stopped after season 6.

Because no matter how much I love this show… No matter how much Damon & Elena time I want to see… sometimes you just know it needs to end. Their pretty much gigantic clue was Nina (the actress who plays Elena) leaving the show. When I heard she was leaving after season 6 and that they plan to continue on without her, I could not believe it. I was like: so… let me get this straight. You’re going to do a season 7 (and possibly more seasons afterward) without the protagonist, the MC, the girl this story basically follows? that makes no sense.

I wrote all my ‘I’m freaking out here!’ thoughts after season 6 finale, but this was before I opened a blog and it got deleted.

So yeah… needless to say, I’m not a fan of the current situation on the show. I have half a mind to go find Nina and try to convince her to go back to the show. *sigh*.

But I’ll always love the vampire diaries (at least the first 6 seasons, mainly seasons 4-6) and I’m still following season 7 because… well, you can never know. Things can always turn for the better.

Plus, the Vampire diaries has already been renewed for a season 8 so this show isn’t going anywhere for the time being.

Who is your favorite Villain on the show?

Mine has to be Kai. That guy brings Evil to a whole new lever. There were quite a few villains on this show but none of them as insane as he was. Not to mention his twisted yet hilarious sense of humor.

*End of spoiler*

Game Of Thrones

I have to admit, I didn’t read the books.

It’s one of those very (very) few times where I watched a show\a movie based on a book that I haven’t read.

The books didn’t seem like my kind of read. I love Epicness and Complexity but the books seems too Epic, too complex. And too killing off main characters. I don’t like getting attached to a character that is then randomly gets killed off. There is killing a character in a good way and then there is killing a character in the bad way.

So when I started to watch the show I didn’t think I would get very far with it.

I found myself more invested in this then I thought I could. I had to look over ah… certain… aspects that are shown in the show… *ahm-ahm*. But once I looked over that, I saw a world, characters and stories that I liked. I couldn’t help but root for some characters (and hope they didn’t die soon).

Daenerys, Arya, Jon, Tyrion – Keep fighting! I’m rooting for you.

Dark Matter

Love science fiction? this show is just the one for you. Don’t love science fiction? Even so, you should try this one out.

I read science fiction (not as much as other genres though) but mostly the dystopian kind. I never got to read something that takes place in space. I never thought I was going to like it either. But Dark Matter really got me into the mood for science fiction. It was always hard for me to find a good science fiction movie\TV show\book. None of them were quite my thing. But then I watched dark matter and after that I’ve read the lunar chronicles (a great book series, let me tell you) and I got further into the science fiction universe.

So what is this show about?

6 people wake up on a spaceship with no idea whatsoever who they are. After a lot of confusion, they decide to call themselves by the numbers of 1-6 – 1 being the first to wake up and six being the one that woke up last. While going on dangerous missions, they are trying to figure out who they are and why they don’t remember, all the while trying to pretend to the outside world that they know who they are. Their best course of action? stick together until they figure it out. The problem? how can you know who’s telling the truth and who’s lying? who has a dangerous past and who is going to get them all killed? Have they all lost their memories or is someone lying?

Dark Matter has been renewed for a season 2.

As the name suggest, this is a show about the Unreal. About reality shows. It’s called ‘reality’ shows but we all know it’s no really real. At least not entirely.

The show follows a young TV producer – Rachel Goldberg. After a certain catastrophic incident on her part, she returns to a new season of the reality show everlasting. To make up for what she did the last time, she has to work hard to prove herself. And that means doing what she knows to do best: manipulate the contestants to create the outrageous drama the viewers of everlasting want.

So yes… manipulations, lies, romance, drama…

Not my usual style but sometimes I find interesting shows in things that aren’t my usual style.

Unreal has been renewed for a season 2.

The 100

100 teenagers sent to an earth that has been nothing but wilderness and the unknown for the past 100 years?

Just my thing.

This show is amazing.

I was extremely frustrated (to put it mildly) about the events season 3 took but I loved seasons 1 & 2 and I can’t give up on the show just yet. It has been renewed for a season 4 so there is always hope for things to improve.

The 100 has a great plot, great cast of characters and a world full of danger at every corner. It is based on a trilogy called the 100 by the author Kass Morgan. I almost never watch a movie or a TV show that is based on a book without reading (or attempting to read) the book first but when I watched the 100 I didn’t know it was based on a trilogy at the time.

A very unique kind of show.

8 people all over the world (each with their own talents, their own problems) suddenly find out they share some kind of a supernatural bond that connects them together.

And from there, some very interesting stuff happens.

I’m really looking foreword to see how it goes in season 2. It’s been renewed.

Genius Sherlock Holmes and his ex-army\blogger best friend Jon Watson, solving crimes and mysteries together in the 21st century.

Brilliant! Just brilliant! He’s the best, by far, Sherlock I’ve ever seen. And doctor Watson too. I love their dynamics. I love the funny moments in this show (which there are are plenty of) and the awesome-OMG moments of Sherlock’s Genius mind.

Sherlock is the best detective in the world, rivaled only by The doctor.

I re-watched this series… oh, 5 times maybe. Amazing. Just amazing.

Sherlock has been renewed for a season 4. No premiere date at the moment.

Can’t wait!

Jessica Jones

The 10th doctor as the bad guy? I just knew I has to see that.

It was so weird! Every time I saw him I was like – “doctor!” but he wasn’t the doctor, he was extremely evil.

Jessica Jones is another comic book comes to life. I always enjoy a good super-hero comic book adaption. It was a bit different than the others – darker, I would say.

If you also love a good adaption of the super-heroes comics and haven’t watched this one yet, you should give it a try.

Jessica Jones has been renewed for a season 2.

Doctor Who

A FOREVER all times favourite. I LOVE doctor who. So-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so MUCH.

I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of Doctor who, even if you haven’t watched it. It’s like Harry Potter or Sherlock Holmes – everyone knows about it.

If, miraculously, you’ve managed to hear nothing about it… well, first of all, bravo (you’ve managed to shock me). secondly: Time travel, The doctor, adventures throughout time and space, bigger on the inside… that’s all you need to know. Now go watch it.

A warning first: the first season of Doctor Who is the less good. Things start to pick up from season 2. Things really get amazing from season 5.

But don’t let that put you off because this show is fantastic. brilliant. magnificent.

If you haven’t watched it yet, you really-really do have to watch it.

Doctor who has been renewed for a 10th season with no release date yet. it would seem, though, to be leaning towards 2017. which I’m EXTREMELY upset about if it’ll turn out to be true because… well, because it’s just too far away! I need the next season right now!

The Shannara Chronicles

It’s been a while since I got to watch a high fantasy show.

It was a very enjoyable show. I don’t have a full opinion formed on The Shannara Chronicles was renewed for a season 2.

This show has a lot of potential and the first season was a good one.

It takes place many-many-many years after the human world (our world) has been destroyed. the world is divided to races (elfs, humans and such… ). The story follows an half elf named Will, an elf princess named Amberle and a human girl named Eretria.

They go through adventures to save the world from the threat of demons.

The show is actually based on a book series of the same name by the author Terry Brooks.

Into The Badlands

A very different and interesting kind of show.

It combines martial arts with the fantasy, action and adventure. And let me tell you, those are some kick-ass martial arts moves this show got.

The show follows a young boy with a powerful and dangerous gift and a man who finds himself acting as the boy’s mentor.

A very engaging show. I’m looking forward to season 2.

Well then. That took a long time to write. But If you enjoyed it, then it was worth it.

I have two more shows to mention.

The one other show I love as much (maybe even more) as doctor who.

Merlin is just… it’s amazing. It’s just SO GOOD.

The young magician Merlin. The young prince Arthur. I love them so much!

It’s an epic show. truly.

Hilarious, beautiful, bittersweet, a friendship stronger than any magic…

Sorry, I’m not making much sense. I always get so excited when I watch this show or merely even talk about it.

If you haven’t watched it and you love fantasy and adventure and legend – WATCH IT. You won’t regret it. At all.

Merlin has 5 seasons. It wasn’t canceled or anything so don’t worry about it. It was just over after 5 seasons.

Love it-love it-love it.

Okay, now I’m done.

One of my top favourite shows. The best action\spy\romance I’ve seen. It’s such a good show. I can’t reveal much more away because it’s best to figure things out as you go along.

If you love action, a good revenge story, a rouge agent trying to bring down an evil organization and romance that will leave you swooning, this show is for you.

Nikita has 4 seasons (hasn’t been canceled so don’t worry about a cliff-hanger).

“We are all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?”

Artist profile

Above The Law

Members: Cold 187um, DJ Total K-Oss
Past members: KMG the Illustrator (deceased), Go Mack, Laylaw, Kokane

Years active: 1989 – present

“This song is Ballin', let me drop some dope lyrics - make it high and fly, so all of y'all can hear it...”

Above the Law (hailing from Pomona, California) was founded in 1989 by Cold 187um, Laylaw, KMG the Illustrator, Go Mack, and DJ Total K-Oss.

In 1989, the group signed with Eazy-E’s Ruthless Records, While there, the group became an additional influence in pioneering with the group, N.W.A. Their first album on Ruthless, 1990’s Livin’ Like Hustlers, featured guest appearances from N.W.A. members and some production from Dr. Dre. Above the Law member Cold187um worked closely with Dre on production and the two had great influence on each other. The songs “Untouchable” and “Murder Rap” became minor hits from the album. “Murder Rap” appeared in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on the West Coast fictional radio station, Radio Los Santos as well as the 2008 film Pineapple Express. The song “Freedom of Speech” appeared in the 1990 movie Pump Up the Volume and was also featured on the movie soundtrack album. In September 1990, members of Hip Hop act Above the Law clashed with Ice Cube and his posse Da Lench Mob during the annual New Music Seminar conference.

The group’s First full length album Livin’ Like Hustlers came out in 1990. This album, released before Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, featured a similar G-Funk sound to that album. Cold187um has claimed that he was the first to pioneer the G-Funk style and Dr. Dre’s new sound was largely inspired by his own sound on that album. Dre by this point had left Ruthless Records for Death Row Records. Two years later in 1994 the group released Uncle Sam’s Curse, which was their last album on Ruthless Records. It contained the minor hit “Black Superman”.

Shortly after Eazy-E’s death, the group signed to Tommy Boy Records in 1996. There they released Time Will Reveal in 1996 and Legends In 1999, the group signed to Suge Knight’s Death Row Records but left in 2002. The group was a part of the West Coast Rap All-Stars, contributing to “We’re All in the Same Gang”, a 1990 collaboration of West Coast Hip Hop artists that assembled for this song to promote an anti-violence message.

On the morning of July 7, 2012, it was confirmed by multiple sources that emcee KMG the Illustrator had died. Longtime Above the Law affiliate Kokane confirmed the passing of the rapper on his Twitter account on the same day. The cause of his death is unknown at this time. He was 43 years old.

Four of the group’s most popular/viral music videos, “Black Superman”, “Call it What U Want” feat. Tupac, “V.S.O.P.”, and the long form music video, “V.S.O.P. REMIX” were written and directed by Marty Thomas, who was Eazy-E’s longtime Ruthless Records film director. Thomas also wrote and directed the controversial and eventually banned “Uncle Sam’s Curse” Album television commercials which featured disturbing images of the KKK chasing ATL past a church with burning torches and a white “Uncle Sam” pulling a newborn African-American baby from his Mother’s arms. The commercial won several prestigious worldwide awards.

According to Kokane, a new Above the Law album had recorded before the death of KMG. According To current member cold187um 30+ Unreleased tracks have been recorded while KMG was still alive, The Title victims of global politics has rumored to be the title. However, no release date has been set.

What we mean when we say CWA does habitat work

For the most part, I can't share the work I do for California Waterfowl because the magazine I produce is print-only, not online. (And for the record, I support that - a couple decades of giving away free content hasn't worked well for newspapers.)

But I've started producing more videos for CWA, and this was a fun one. Fire!

Special guests: how we’re broadening our coffee menus

Why we’re starting to offer guest brews alongside our own Soho House coffee

Sam Tansey is pouring out a guest-brew filter coffee for the floor team at White City House. “Soho House coffee is nutty and chocolatey, how people expect it to taste,” the coffee QC manager says. “Guest brews are offered as a different option. They’re lighter, fruitier roasts that showcase the flavour of the beans.”

Guest brews are part of Soho House embracing the so-called “third wave” of coffee, with people beginning to consider the beans, origins and style of their drink. Already on offer in Shoreditch House and Soho House 40 Greek Street, the brews will be coming soon to the Farmhouse and our New York and Chicago sites, changing every month or so.

The blend that Sam has served up is called Sweet Shop, a blend of Ecuadorean beans that’s been chosen and roasted by Square Mile Coffee in London. “Going lighter opens up a whole world of coffee, where you can taste strawberries, mango and bananas,” he explains, passing around a guest flat white that he describes as being like a cheesecake compared with the chocolate flavour of a House brew.

“Offering guest brews requires more skill and investment, but it gives our members the option to further explore coffee with us. Some people really want to be challenged, the same as they are with wine,” says opening operations director Daniel Thompson, who first pioneered the project.

Guest brews keep things interesting for baristas, too. As well as trying out new varietals, they get the challenge of working with lighter roasts that work well with dairy or oat milk, but may taste odd in almond milk or split in soya if not treated correctly.

In White City, the servers likewise leave their session buzzing with caffeine and inspiration.

Go back to basics. Go through your meal planners and food logs to see what does not match up. Look for possible processed foods or artificial sweeteners in new foods you’ve added to your diet recently. If you’ve stopped logging or planning your meals, take this opportunity to start again. Most often just that one step will pull you out of a plateau.

Sear, skin side up, a 4-ounce cut of salmon in a hot nonstick skillet and cook until well browned on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook till slightly translucent in center, 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer salmon to serving dish. To skillet add ¼ teaspoon grated orange peel, 3 ounces orange juice, and ½ cup white wine. Boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves. Spoon sauce over salmon.
The researchers hypothesize that participants who abstained from animal products dropped significantly more pounds since plant-based foods include loads of filling fiber and slow-to-digest complex carbs. Though more research is needed to confirm these results, the study authors write, "Vegetarian diets appeared to have significant benefits on weight reduction compared to non-vegetarian diets."
So what happens when you can’t exercise? There are many people with health and physical difficulties who can’t exercise in the traditional way. For those people, I assure you that you can still lose weight. Like I said above, weight loss is 70% what you eat and 30% exercise, so if you can’t exercise you have to be spot on with your diet plan to lose weight.

By planning your meals and logging what you eat and drink, you will start memorizing how many calories are in your favorite meals and ingredients. Best of all you will learn your own eating habits and cravings, so over time you can better plan your meals to suit your cravings. After a couple weeks if you see you consistently have a 3:00 pm craving for carbs, you can head off that craving in advance with a skinny sandwich at lunch. Or, a sweet craving at 10:00 am can be managed with a sweet oatmeal breakfast.

Second, take a few photos of yourself to keep your motivation up. "Most of the people who come to me are doing it for a reason," he explains. "They're going on vacation, competing in a bodybuilding show, or maybe going to a reunion. I always have them strive for that goal. I take front, side, and back pictures of them at the beginning and have them post the photos on their mirror at home. I tell them, just keep looking at that picture and think of what you're going to look like in a few weeks."
Carbohydrates are the preferred form of fuel for your body's energy needs. Simple or sugary carbs have their place when you need fast energy, but for the most part you should eat complex or slow-burning carbs (we'll give you examples of these later). The thing about carbs, though, is that after you consume all the carbs your body needs for immediate energy, any excess carbs will be stored as body fat.
Five different Medifast plans plus one meal of lean protein and non-starchy vegetables will give you a loss of about 11 pounds in eight weeks, according to the company. Although these very low-calorie diet plans are effective in the short term, weight regain is a risk over the long haul. It also depends on processed foods and requires dieters to last through the hunger pangs. The plan is not recommended if you are pregnant, have type 1 diabetes, or have any of these other conditions. Here are 17 tips for getting over a weight-loss plateau.
Vegetarians tend to be slimmer than omnivores, according to research. But you’ll have to have a lot of discipline and willpower to pull off a vegan diet. Support is out there—the American Diabetes Association gives its approval to the plan, and there are plenty of resources online such as the Vegetarian Resource Group if you need guidance. Following this rigid way of eating may mean could miss out on important nutrients such as vitamin B12 and calcium, but overall going vegan offers some powerful health benefits. You can expect to lose about two pounds a week. Check out the 13 things that happen to your body when you go vegan.

Eat More Produce. Eating lots of low-calorie, high-volume fruits and vegetables crowds out other foods that are higher in fat and calories. Move the meat off the center of your plate and pile on the vegetables. Or try starting lunch or dinner with a vegetable salad or bowl of broth-based soup, suggests Barbara Rolls, PhD, author of The Volumetrics Eating Plan. The U.S. government's 2005 Dietary Guidelines suggest that adults get 7-13 cups of produce daily. Ward says that's not really so difficult: "Stock your kitchen with plenty of fruits and vegetables and at every meal and snack, include a few servings," she says. "Your diet will be enriched with vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, fiber, and if you fill up on super-nutritious produce, you won't be reaching for the cookie jar."

Enjoy the rich flavor of sweet potatoes? While home on Sundays, cook up a batch. Wrap each one in foil and bake for about an hour at 425 degrees F, or until their luscious, sweet juices start to ooze out into the foil. At work the following week, just pop one in the microwave for a quick warm-up. They’re loaded with taste, so they don’t need any extra toppings. If you want a little zest, swirl in a teaspoon or two of no-salt-added Dijon mustard or a quarter cup of plain nonfat Greek yogurt.
Did bikini season sneak up on you? Is your soon-to-be worn wedding dress still just a touch too tight? Did a last-minute invite for a beach getaway come your way? You're a lucky dog – and a panicked one too because you want to drop pounds, and fast. These 10 diets are likely to help you lose significant weight within a year, according to a panel of experts who reviewed 38 plans for the U.S. News Best Diets rankings. Just remember: Short-term weight loss is markedly different from long-term weight loss, which is more important for your health.
Spray baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken breast and vegetables on sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Spray vegetables with non-stick cooking spray, then spoon tomato sauce on top of chicken. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 min or until chicken is cooked through. When 5 minutes left, top chicken with cheese and let melt until finished cooking
This high-protein, fat-rich plan claims you will lose up to 15 pounds in two weeks, but the unhealthy fat content drops the diet’s ranking. Similar to the ketogenic diet, the idea is that by severely restricting your carb intake, your body will have to burn fat for energy. Atkins has a decent amount of short-term research to support the premise, but the results are mixed. The American Heart Association links saturated fats—prevalent in this plan—to heart disease. Other negatives for Atkins are that it’s tough to sustain, and you’ll miss out on fiber and other nutrients in complex carbohydrates like whole grains. Check out the 15 best Atkins diet foods you can get at the grocery store.
To prep his patients for success, Dr. Seltzer tells them to plan around a large evening meal by eating a lighter breakfast and lunch—NBD since most people who eat a meal before bed tend to wake up feeling relatively full, he says. Research suggests balanced bedtime meals may also promote steady next-day blood sugar levels, which also helps with appetite regulation.
Preheat oven to 400°. Slice 1 small potato into fry shapes; toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon chili powder. Roast on baking sheet until golden (about 30 minutes). Grill 1 (3-ounce) sirloin steak until desired degree of doneness; slice into thin strips. Fill 6 Romaine lettuce leaves with steak. Top with 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper; drizzle with 1 tablespoon balsamic vinaigrette.

Different foods have different nutritional values, even if they sometimes have the same number of calories. And making a few simple food swaps could be beneficial for both your health and your waistline. Felicia Stoler, RD, an exercise physiologist, suggests swapping margarine for butter, corn oil for soybean oil, corn-fed proteins for grass-fed proteins, and artificial egg whites for farm fresh eggs. “Smart consumers are choosing grass-fed options because those tend to have more nutrients and fewer added hormones,” Stoler says.
Keeping a food journal could help you reach your weight loss goals. Best Health reports a recent study found participants who kept daily food records lost twice as much weight as those who kept no records. Colleen Cannon, a clinical psychologist in Canada who specializes in helping people deal with the emotional side of eating, says the act of writing down what we eat helps us become more aware.
“This is a great way of eating that I highly recommend to many clients, and I even model in my own life,” says Elizabeth Shaw, RDN, who is in private practice in San Diego and is the co-author of Fertility Foods Cookbook. “Since the premise of the diet is designed to help people who have high blood pressure, low-sodium foods are recommended. But considering that most Americans exceed their daily sodium levels anyway, it’s not surprising that dietitians recommend this style of eating for treating many different conditions, such as heart disease and obesity.”

A diet plan is one step towards achieving a healthy lifestyle.

Be sure to check important guides such as eating out, lifestyle tips, portion control guides, clinical research and exercise tips to achieve the maximum benefits of enrolling in a diet program.
Other factors that can influence your decision include the program’s overall cost and your budget, whether you prefer pre-packaged options or the flexibility to eat out and cook your own meals, and finally, the degree of community interaction. Multiple studies have found that weight loss and diet control are most successful when there’s a degree of accountability and peer support. Most diet plan programs have a wide range of interactive, community-building features that can also help you gage customer satisfaction with the diet plan.
Here’s the full shopping list for exactly what to buy, and check to make sure you have a few pantry staples on hand. Morris recommends starting on a weekend, so you can make a big pot of veggie soup, and give your body a chance to adjust before diving into a busy week. Her plan cuts carbs for the first couple of days, before slowly reintroducing whole grains. And if you want to mix it up, there are lots more options for healthy snacks, just make sure to get a serving of fruit or vegetables, along with protein.

Pride, Optimism and Recognition in the Workplace

How do you instill pride and optimism in your employees? What actionable steps do you need to take?

The first question you need to ask is – what people really want? The answer: to be treated as a respected and valued human being.  No one is a robot. No one wants to be ignored or worse, put down.   All humans have a need to belong and that includes belonging in the workplace.

It is very easy for managers to not pay attention to the real humans who are their employees. Managers have their own bosses with deadlines and stresses and more. They need the staff they manage to get the work that needs to be done done.

The managers who have happy staff, are the ones who take the time to recognize and respect the people who work for them as truly unique individuals who are valued members of the team.  This isn’t something that can be dictated, it has to be modelled and taught.

The problem is most managers don’t get training on what the role of a manager is and how to do it properly. So, they act how they think they should act and sometimes, their insecurities get in the way of them making human connections.

Now, I admit, I am NOT the greatest at making human connections because I’m a bit of an introvert. But a big part of my practice as a Humanist is to actually make eye contact when I meet someone. I try to get and remember their name. I try to be human with them. Meaning, I try to be my real self and not act as if I am someone I’m not. I’m a flawed geeky human. I share that with others.  The managers I have had that I respected the most, were not only the most real, they were also the most genuinely respectful people I’ve ever worked for. That is what we all should be aiming for.

Soft Management Skills.

The “soft skills required to do this right, like actively listening take time. That’s why people don’t do them. To treat your employees as fully human, you have to give them your time as a manager. Listen to them. Talk to them. Learn about what their struggles are and what their dreams are and who they want to be and who they admire and what tv shows and movies and music they like.  This takes time.  And it’s not optional. It’s necessary to learn what motivates your employees so you can provide them with what they need and want.

Often what people want is to be trusted. This can be demonstrated by asking for their opinion on decision making and respecting the input they are providing.  Don’t just give lip service to team work. Actually treat the members of your team as equally valued.

The next thing people want is to be treated with respect. This is why bullying, harassment and discrimination should never be tolerated. Unless you are a sadist, most people don’t enjoy working in an environment with a bully. So don’t just write off interpersonal problems as normal. They aren’t and they negatively effect the work being done and the decisions being made. Address them professionally and get rid of any employee who is not respectful of their co-workers.

Clear directions:

Part of communication is being clear about what needs to be done. I offer a course on the 7 sins of staff management. They are all communication sins.  One of the sins is to not tell someone WHY a particular job needs to be done.  This is so important because if an employee doesn’t know why something has to be done, then if something happens that makes doing that job hard or impossible, they won’t necessarily know how to prioritize the fixing of it and they won’t necessarily understand how important it is to find a work around to get it done. In other words, the why jobs need to get done, helps employees be creative when a problem arises in the course of doing the job.

Individualize Recognition

Finally, when it comes to recognition, different people need different things. And unless you get to know who they are, really, you won’t know what they really need. Some people need and want public acknowledgement of their contributions to the team. Others would cringe if you made a public spectacle of them.  What I learned from my time as a volunteer manager is that most people are looking for friendship and while managers can’t really be friends with their staff, they can still instill a sense of camaraderie and respect in the team.

To learn more consider taking these courses or offer them to your new managers are part of their orientation program.

 Why use Ozone?

 Being a gas, ozone reaches where conventional cleaners/ disinfectants cannot. Ozone destroys pollutants up to 3200 times faster than traditional oxidants like chlorine with no residual harmful by- products since it, after reaction, reverts to oxygen, carbon dioxide and water which are all natural and environmentally friendly products.

 How is ozone produced?

The technology is called Corona Cold plasma discharge, Air application.

The process involves stripping electrons from the oxygen atoms braking the O2 molecule before Coulomb collisions occur. The nett result is that energy employed to make ozone’s efficiently consumed and less heat (that is wasted energy) is generated.

O2 (Oxygen) is converted to O3(Ozone)

As atoms split off to oxidize a pollutant- leaving behind o2, the air that we breath.

 Everyday applications:

Kitchens, Restaurants, Clubs and Pubs, Hotels, Reception Areas, Smoking rooms, Washrooms, doctor’s rooms and wherever mal odours and harmful bacteria are prevalent.

 General Health Advantages:

 The most common are:

From the desk of Senator Cory Gardner… police body armor and more

Senators Gardner and Markey Highlight their Asia Strategy

SFRC Hearing Highlights ARIA Legislation

Washington, DC – U.S. Senators Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Ed Markey (D-MA), Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on East Asia, the Pacific, and International Cybersecurity Policy led a hearing on Tuesday focusing on their legislation, the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act (ARIA).

Last month, Senator Gardner and Senator Markey along with Senator Rubio (R-FL) and Senator Cardin (D-MD) introduced the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act (ARIA), which is designed to serve as a policy framework to enhance U.S. leadership in the Indo-Pacific region and to demonstrate a commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific and the rules-based international order.

Our ARIA legislation provides the United States a long-term strategy in Asia that preserves American national security interests, promotes American businesses and creates jobs through trade opportunities, and projects American values of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. The United States has always been — and will always remain — a Pacific power, and the support expressed by Administration officials at today’s hearing proves that the U.S. government can speak with one voice to reassure our allies and to deter our adversaries in the Indo-Pacific region. — Senator Gardner

Today’s hearing included witness testimony from Randall Schriver, Assistant Secretary of Asian and Pacific Security Affairs at Department of Defense and Alex Wong, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs at Department of State.

In 2017, Gardner and Markey held four hearings in their Subcommittee to inform ARIA. The hearing series, titled, “American Leadership in the Asia-Pacific,” included hearings on security challenges, economic opportunities, promoting human rights and the rule of law, and U.S.-China relations.

We are at a unique moment in history in which the United States needs to communicate to Asia – to allies and adversaries alike – that we are invested in the region. We have the opportunity to push back on China’s efforts to undermine the international system, strengthen alliances, tackle issues from terrorism to climate change, and empower people to seek freedom and economic opportunity. We can do that through bipartisan policies that promote the rules-based order, peacefully denuclearize North Korea, and promote human rights and the respect for democratic values. The United States simply cannot afford to cede leadership in such a critical region. — Senator Markey

A background paper on ARIA can be found here.

Gardner to Introduce Body Armor Bill to Protect Law Enforcement Officers

Participates in Wreath Laying Ceremony for National Police Week

Washington, DC – Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) announced today that he will be introducing legislation designed to help outfit every law enforcement officer in the country with Type III body armor, which is designed to stop rifle ballistics.

According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), the vast majority of bulletproof vests purchased using the Bullet Proof Vest Partnership (BVP) grant program were Type II vests. Type II vests do not stop rifle ballistics, which killed two of the officers in Colorado who were wearing either Type II or Type I body armor at the time.  Type III rifle-resistant plates might have saved their lives, but many departments, especially smaller departments, simply do not have the budget to purchase Type III body armor vests. The bill also authorizes additional funding for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to research more advanced body armor.

Our law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day to protect and serve our communities. They are always there to help others and deserve nothing less than our gratitude and thanks. Unfortunately, Colorado and departments across the country have seen too many officer involved deaths and we must do more to protect those who protect us. Our officers should not be put in harm’s way without the absolute best equipment and that is why I am introducing legislation, which will make it easier for every officer in the country to purchase body armor that can withstand rifle bullets. I will work with members on both sides of the aisle to see this important piece of legislation signed into law. — Gardner

Gardner also took part in the National Peace Officers’ Wreath Laying Ceremony as part of National Police Week. Gardner met with Coloradan officers and officers from around the country to thank them for their service and honor the law enforcement lives we have lost in 2017. “It was a humbling experience to participate in today’s ceremony and remember the law enforcement lives we have lost. Colorado’s law enforcement community has experienced tremendous loss these last few months and I want every officer to know I stand with them and have their backs,” said Gardner.

Bennet & Gardner Applaud Committee Approval of West Fork Fire Station and Peak Naming Bills

Bennet-led, bipartisan bills would assist southwest Colorado, honor legacy of distinguished mountaineers

 Washington, D.C. – Today, the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources passed two bills led by U.S. Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) and cosponsored by U.S. Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) that would improve safety in southwest Colorado and honor the legacy of two distinguished Colorado mountaineers, Charlie Fowler and Christine Boskoff. Companion bills introduced by Congressman Scott Tipton (R-CO-03) have passed the House of Representatives.

“We are pleased with the approval of these bills—which, in distinct and significant ways, will benefit the southwest Colorado community—and we will continue to advocate for their passage in the Senate,” Bennet said.

“These two bills clearing another legislative hurdle is great news for Southwest Colorado,” Gardner said. “They will have a positive impact on our region, and I look forward to continuing to work with Senator Bennet and Congressman Tipton to get them signed into law.”

The West Fork Fire Station Act would convey about four acres of Forest Service land to Dolores County for the location of a new fire station. Without a station, fires pose a greater threat to the West Fork community, and homeowners are unable to purchase insurance. Building a fire station would decrease response times to emergency calls, reduce the financial burden on the region’s other emergency responders, and provide a staging area to respond to wildfires.

The Fowler and Boskoff Peaks Designation Act would name two Colorado mountain peaks in honor of distinguished mountaineers Charlie Fowler and Christine Boskoff, who died in a 2006 avalanche while attempting to summit Genyen Peak in Tibet. Over the course of their outstanding climbing careers, Fowler and Boskoff summited several 26,000-foot mountain peaks, including Mt. Everest. Fowler, who was known in southwest Colorado for building climbing walls in schools, received the Robert and Miriam Underhill Award for outstanding mountaineering achievement from the American Alpine Club in 2004. Boskoff, who was one of the world’s most accomplished American female mountain climbers, contributed countless hours to non-profit organizations that supported the rights of porters and Sherpas, women’s education, global literacy, and gender equality.

Statements from Bennet and local stakeholders on the West Fork bill are available HERE and on the Peaks Designation bill are available HERE.

News on ‘curate digital art’. “Making your own net art exhibition” proposes to create and realize a random net art show as a meeting. Everybody (artists, curators, critics, etc…) are invited (through a mailing list created just for the occasion) to bring their laptops showing the own curatorial project as a net art exhibition. This eclectic exhibition could be done into an empty gallery or better a museum.
