Not Your Fathers BMX Oh Wait Yes It Is
Not Your Fathers BMX Oh Wait Yes It Is
First of all, further to yesterdays post, various Gran Fondont participants commented to testify on behalf of the Toyota Matrix driver I pilloried therein. Apparently the Matrix driver was not honking at us, and was instead honking at the Porsche driver. Or something.
Inasmuch as I was at the front of the ride (owing both to my responsibilities as ride leader as well as my formidable climbing prowess), I admit I did not witness the genesis of the event, and therefore I will defer to those whose vantage point allowed them to watch it unfold in its entirety. And if I did indeed mistakenly berate the Matrix driver, Id like to apologize to him, as well as to Matrix drivers everywhere, assuming they are not assholes:

(A Matrix)
As for the Porsche driver, there seems to be unanimity in the opinion that he was a gigantic douchebag, so screw him.
Moving on, as youve probably heard by now, metal band Slayer (whose music is currently blasting out of roughly 2/3rds of the Toyota Matrices on the road today) have embarked upon a bicycle "collabo" with the BMX company Subrosa:

And in addition to both 20" and 26" BMX bikes, the new Slayer line will also include a 700c whatever-this-is:

As well as a balance bike:

Because apparently the amount of time it takes for a metal band to go from penning adulatory songs about Josef Mengele to co-branding bikes for toddlers is exactly 30 years.
This is not to impugn Slayer by any means, for they were just doing their job in an era when subjects such as Nazi war criminals, virgin sacrifices, serial killers, and good old-fashioned corpse-fuckers were very much in the zeitgeist. See, you have to understand that the 1980s were a much quainter time, and there were still delicate sensibilities left to offend:

I also dont mean to impugn Slayers embarking on a commercial venture with a bicycle company. Indeed, I only want them to succeed, which is precisely why Im so concerned. Frankly, this smaks of a major marketing misfire. Consider, for example, Subrosa brand manager Ryan Shers comments regarding that 700c whatever-it-is, which carries the unfortunate moniker "Cradle to Grave:"

And we love the Cradle to Grave concept, Sher adds. We want to create lifelong fans of our brand and lifelong fans of cycling. Once a kid gets on a BMX bikesort of the dirty little brother of cyclingthats the gateway into cycling. Youll become a mountain biker, a road cyclist... so the theme starts and finishes your life on a bike.
Those ellipses are very disturbing. So you start with BMX, move on to mountain biking, then take up road cycling...and then you die?!? Hey, I realize Slayer sing about death and stuff, but I dont think most people want to "finish their life on a bike." Some of us want to at least survive well past the Fred phase. We want to live long enough to covet Rivendells and Bromptons and lugged steel and touring bikes with a bunch of leather and canvas accessories and all that other stuff old people like. Plus, if Slayer really wanted to push this "finish your life on a bike" concept, theyd sell a Slayer-branded trailer that doubles as a coffin:

(Now thats cradle-to-grave.)
That way when youre ready to finish your life you just crawl into it, launch the "Cradle to Grave" app, and Slayer Graveside Assistance comes to bury you alive in it.
Even better, with a Slayer line of recumbents, you wouldnt even have to climb into the trailer, and they could just bury you in situ:

(The top-of-the-line "Slay-cumbent Wermacht" model)
Plus, by selling BMX bikes, is Slayer really tapping into their core market? I mean look at them:

These guys are old and so are their fans. Bassist and lead vocalist Tom Araya may have ridden BMX bikes as a kid, but the guy hasnt even been able to headbang for six years, and Im willing to bet if he tried to straddle one of his own bands branded bikes hed break a hip.
And sure, I know what youre thinking: "These bikes arent for Slayers aging fanbase, theyre for their kids." But do kids really want bikes branded with the music their deeply uncool Toyota Matrix-driving parents like? Slayer formed in 1981, and their landmark album "Reign in Blood" is now 30 years old. Thirty years old. Thats fucking ancient. Look at it this way: I was deeply into BMX when I was 12 years old, and you know what rock album was 30 years old then? "Rock Around the Clock." And I can assure you theres no fucking way I would have ridden a Bill Haley and His Comets BMX back in 1985, no matter how badass my parents assured me it was.

("Raining blood, from a lacerated sky..."--Bill Haley and His Comets)
Id have been way into a Slayer bike though...just like, if Im to be totally honest, Id probably be way into a Slayer folding bike today. Their logo even looks kind of like a folded up Brompton:

A hand-chamfered Brooks with a pentagram burned into it and its ready to go.
Youre welcome, Slayer.
It could even come with a hand-painted denim Slayer smart jacket:

Imagine if you could control your phone and favourite mobile apps with a simple touch of a jacket sleeve while cycling along.
Science fiction? Maybe, but its soon to be science fact in the shape of Levis Commuter Trucker jacket with Googles Advanced Technologies and Projects (ATAPs) Project Jacquard technology woven in.
Incidentally, if youre wondering how to pronounce "Jacquard," it rhymes with "Jack-Tard," which is the smart jacket equivalent of a "Glasshole."
Project Jacquard is designed to make it possible to weave touch and gesture interactivity into any textile using standard industrial looms. By combining thin metallic alloys together with more commonplace yarns like cotton or silk, the garment can almost invisibly add smart capabilities.
Incredible! I cant wait for Project Jack-Tard. Just think of the possibilities. Indeed, its only a matter of time before your KuKu Penthouse is equipped with a "smart chamois" which allows you to run through the functions of your "smart glasses" using only your scranus:

(With scranus-activated smart chamois capability youll finally be able to put that finger back up your nose.)
Just dont let your "smart jacket" wet, which shouldnt be a problem because nobody ever gets caught in the rain while riding:

"Detachable brains" indeed.
Soon youll be able to say you left yours in your other pants.

New Android APK Apps Store is Coming
New Android APK Apps Store is Coming
With greater than 1,000,000 apps, the official Google Play store for apps and games offers greater than you are doubtless to make use of in your lifetime. Nonetheless, there are plenty of handsets our there that havent shelled out for a full Android license, complete with Gapps and Play Store support (telephones sold in China come to mind), or there are apps that arent in the Play Retailer for numerous reasons.
The Amazon Appstore, SlideME, GetJar, the Android makers personal curated app marketplaces, like Samsung Apps or Xiaomis Mi store - there are plenty of alternatives on the market to the official Google Play Store that anointed Android telephones come with. Countries that would love some management over whats distributed on the telephones of their residents have their very own stores, too, like Chinas Baidu or Russias Yandex search engines. That is why we wanted to ask you whether you may have used an Android app retailer besides Google Play. The latest Android Apps store which share free apps and games is APKTrunk. Take your pick, and pontificate in the comments.
Every Android device comes with Google Play Retailer included, however that isnt the one app retailer you should use on that OS. A common drawback about alternative app stores is all of them supply much less apps than Google Play (which has over 700,000 Android apps). So youll at all times find a greater choice to choose from on Google Play, but there could also be specific information concerning the different app stores that satisfy your needs.
The most effective choices and the main competitor to Google Play is the Amazon Appstore. The Amazon Appstore isnt only a third-celebration app store for Android devices, but additionally the place to get apps for Amazons Kindle Fire tablets. The Amazon Appstore is now available in almost 200 nations and should be installed from Amazons website. The shop doesnt really provide any unique apps, but one of its most interesting factors is that it gives a free app of the day each day. This fashion, you may test the app and just buy it later when you liked it.

Never Silenced Herman Wallaces Spirit is Smiling An interview with filmmaker Angad Singh Bhalla
Never Silenced Herman Wallaces Spirit is Smiling An interview with filmmaker Angad Singh Bhalla

Never Silenced, Herman Wallaces Spirit is Smiling
--An interview with filmmaker Angad Singh Bhalla
By Angola 3 News
Canadian filmmaker Angad Singh Bhalla has never shied away from examining politically controversial topics. Nor does he play down his own artistic goal of using media to foster political change. Bhallas first independent work, entitled U.A.I.L. Go Back amplified the voices of Indian villagers resisting an alumina project backed by the Canadian company Alcan. The film became an important organizing tool used to pressure Alcan into ending its involvement in the project.
Bhalla has since co-founded Time of Day Media.and while working as a community organizer for immigrant rights, he produced videos for the Service Employees International Union, Working America, the Center for Constitutional Rights and other groups. His award-winning short on the lives of Indian street artists, Writings on the Wall, was broadcast on Canadas Bravo! and Al Jazeera English.

Bhallas debut feature documentary was the 2012 film Hermans House, about Herman Wallace of the Angola 3 and the collaborative project Wallace worked on with artist Jackie Sumell, entitled The House That Herman Built. The film screened at more than 40 festivals, was distributed theatrically in the US and Canada, and won an Emmy Award for its 2013 POV broadcast on PBS.

In this interview, filmmaker Angad Singh Bhalla discusses his latest film, The Deeper They Bury Me, while also reflecting upon his 2012 film Hermans House, his personal relationship with Wallace and more. Bhalla concludes the interview with a focus on the call by Amnesty International and the International Coalition to Free the Angola 3 for the immediate release of Albert Woodfox, who is the last of the Angola 3 behind bars. Despite three overturned convictions, Woodfox remains in prison and in solitary confinement, where he was first placed over 43 years ago.
(VIDEO: Coverage of the panel discussion following a recent screening of The Deeper They Bury Me at the 53rd New York Film Festival. Photos from this event by Lindsey Seide/NFB are featured below alongside still images taken from the film itself.)
Angola 3 News: Can you please tell us how you first heard of Herman Wallace and the Angola 3?
Angad Singh Bhalla: I first heard about Herman Wallace and the Angola 3 in 2002, shortly after Robert Kings release from prison. Artist Jackie Sumell organized a lecture for King at Stanford University, where I co-hosted a political talk show on the campus radio station at the time. Robert King remains one of the most memorable discussions we ever had on that show.

(PHOTO: Filmmaker Angad Singh Bhalla at NY Film Festival)
A3N: Your bio states that you use your films to call attention to voices we rarely hear and as a means of fostering political change. Your 2012 film Hermans House certainly helped to amplify Hermans voice and it created more public attention to Herman and the Angola 3.
Looking beyond the immediate campaign for Hermans release from prison and solitary confinement, as well as the continuing call today for Albert Woodfoxs release from prison and solitary, what do you feel were the central messages that you sought to focus on with Hermans House?
ASB: With the documentary Hermans House, the real central message was that Herman Wallace, like all the other people we incarcerate, is a human being. As simple as that sounds, I think the prison industrial complexs most devastating impact has been to dehumanize the people it incarcerates. We did not show any images of prisons in the documentary because I believe even the very sight of a prison can contribute to this dehumanization process.
With the film I hoped to transform Herman and indirectly everyone else we incarcerate from a convict or felon into a brother, a mentor, a friend and like all of us a dreamer. In that sense, unlike other profiles, I was not as focused on Hermans innocence. While Herman was wrongfully convicted, I wanted to focus on the nature of his incarceration which ties him to the 2.3 million other Americans we put in prison.

A3N: Now with the release of The Deeper They Bury Me a few years after Hermans House, do the fundamental themes and issues addressed in this film differ at all? Otherwise, how do you think The Deeper They Bury Me complements Hermans House?
ASB: Similar to Hermans House, I think the theme of humanizing Herman and focusing on the conditions of his incarceration remain in The Deeper They Bury Me. But at the same time I think The Deeper They Bury allowed me to bring more attention to the specific circumstances around Hermans story.
In that sense I tried to highlight Hermans past growing up in a segregated New Orleans to highlight how Americas racist history relates directly to Americas racist present. This experience of it being more a telling of Hermans story by Herman, allowed me to explore his political convictions and work with the Black Panther Party more than I could in the film. I tried to highlight Hermans position as a political prisoner in The Deeper They Bury Me.
Overall I think the interactive aspect compliments the film by providing much more of the historical and political conditions of Hermans incarceration. While Hermans situation may have been unique, those conditions are not. I hope that through this interactive telling of Hermans experience viewers begin to understand that history is present.
There is a reason that in the United States, people of color account for nearly 60% of the imprisoned while making up only 30% of the population. There is a reason that the United States, black Americans are six times more likely to be imprisoned than white Americans.
These reasons are not simple and go back to the founding myths of this country, which is why there are more black men under some form correctional supervision (imprisoned, on parole, or probation) than were enslaved in 1850.

A3N: The interactive format of The Deeper They Bury Me is very cutting edge. Can you tell us more about the various interactive features that our readers will find when they go to watch the film? What do you feel that this interactive format adds? How does it change or enrich the viewing experience?
ASB: Well, the entire experience is set up to determine what aspects of Hermans life the user wants to hear him talk about. In many ways the prison industrial complex relies on framing spaces as tools of punishment and coercion. This interactive format allows people to actually explore 3D replicas of Hermans cell, his dream bedroom, and prison dorm. Interacting with these spaces in relation to one another, I think, allows users to really question our notions of freedom and confinement.
While not all the environments are available at the same time, the user gets to decide which spaces she wants to linger in and which elements of Hermans story she wants hear more about. Not being constrained by a linear narrative structure and the idea of always moving an audience forward, the interactive format provides audiences the opportunity to go deeper into what would be considered Hermans back-story in a traditional documentary.
While of course the linear documentary is my point of reference in many ways, The Deeper They Bury Me is an entirely different kind of storytelling. It will never replace the linear form, but at the same time, it allows the user to get to enter Hermans world from the point that is most relevant to them. Further, as a tool, being able to access each of the 25 one-minute videos independently allows activists to craft a narrative that best suits their campaign work. Hermans story is so relevant for todays young activists that I wanted to try to tell it in a form that is more relevant to young people who communicate so much now online.

(PHOTO: Harry Belafonte at NY Film Festival screening)
A3N: Along with your two films about Herman, in 2014 another Angola 3-related film was made in Canada, entitled Hard Time, by Ron Harpelle, which focused on Robert H King. Seen in the context of these three films, how do you think Canadian audiences have responded to the story of the Angola 3?
ASB: I think like most audiences, Canadian audiences are shocked when they first hear the story of the Angola 3. I think the Angola 3 story may find more receptive outlets in Canada and other countries outside the US simply because people feel good pointing out injustices happening in other countries.
In the learn more section of site we included the fact that Aboriginal Canadians are ten times more likely to be incarcerated that other Canadians. As much as we Canadians might like to deny it, our criminal justice system extends from a sordid history of oppression and remains a racist tool of social control.

(PHOTO: NY Film Festival speaker panel)
A3N: What is the significance of the National Film Board of Canadas (NFB) involvement with The Deeper They Bury Me, both producing it and hosting the film on their website? How did the NFB become involved with the film?
ASB: In 2010, I approached the NFB looking for their support to help produce Hermans House, the linear film. It was producer Anita Lee at the NFB, who proposed the idea of creating an independent interactive piece that became The Deeper They Bury Me.
The NFB has been leading the development of interactive online storytelling since the field first emerged, so I was extremely excited that they saw interactive potential in Hermans story. The NFB is not only a Canadian institution but it has a global legacy of producing critical independent documentary films, including films that inspired me to get into the field, like Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and The Media. As an NFB production, The Deeper They Bury Me becomes a part of an essential collection and will most importantly introduce Hermans Story to an even broader audience.

A3N: In October, 2013 after battling liver cancer for several months, Herman Wallace was released from prison. Just a few days later, he passed away in the company of family and friends. In the days following, tributes to Herman ranged from US Congressmen to the Washington Post and New York Times. As someone who has studied Hermans life so closely, can you please reflect on his life and share with us what you think his legacy is today?
ASB: Its would be hard to overstate the impact Herman has had on my life. More than merely the subject of my past two documentary projects, over the 6 years that we conversed by phone he became both a friend and teacher in so many ways.
To be exonerated and released three days before passing away was undoubtedly tragic, but in so many ways Hermans story is one of victory. His legacy will forever be that of someone who stood up to injustice and won. Not in the Hollywood way of winning where everything turns out okay in the end but in the messy way people who have struggled for justice get to win.
For four decades the system tried to silence Herman for his resistance. But like Hermans poem from which this piece is titled, the deeper they tried to bury Herman the louder his voice became. The system had planned for Herman to die in prison, and even through he enjoyed only three days of freedom, he defied that system and that defiance made headlines around the world.
Herman decided long ago that he was willing to sacrifice his life to serve as symbol for so much of what is wrong with Americas prison industrial complex. As sad as I am that I lost a friend, I can feel his spirit smiling with the knowledge that his struggle and eventual victory is still inspiring a new generation of activists.

A3N: We in the International Coalition to Free the Angola 3 have sought to honor Hermans legacy by turning grief into strength, and working for the immediate release of Albert Woodfox from both prison and solitary confinement, so that he will be able spend more time outside prison walls than Herman was able to. In February 2013, several months before Hermans cancer diagnosis, Alberts conviction was overturned for a third time. Subsequently, in November 2014, this third overturned conviction was upheld by the US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and then in June 2015, US District Court Judge James Brady ruled for Alberts immediate and unconditional release, as well as banning a retrial. Yet, to this day Albert remains in solitary confinement.
What do you think about Alberts treatment in recent years, especially following Hermans death? How about this US criminal justice system where an elder prisoners conviction can be overturned for a third time, but still be held captive and in solitary confinement?
ASB: Sadly nothing about Alberts treatment both prior to and following Hermans death surprises me.
Like Herman, Albert has always been used by the state as an example to others who might fight back against state oppression. There is not a criminal justice system in America, there is a system of social control that relies on incarceration and violence. The state must put all the resources it has at its disposal to keep torturing people like Albert to make sure other people who even consider exposing the systems contradictions think twice.
Look at how the NYPD have been continuing to harass and abuse Ramsay Orta, the man who recorded the NYPD murder of Eric Garner and his family. Alberts case has never been about the evidence that had him convicted of Brent Millers murder, because there isnt any. It has always been about the state displaying its ruthless power.
Unfortunately for the state, the truth is the truth and the more the state tries to display power the more desperate and pathetic it looks.

Nonfiction Is Like Reality TV Shows Right And Creative Nonfiction Is Like Fox News
Nonfiction Is Like Reality TV Shows Right And Creative Nonfiction Is Like Fox News
(1) How is publishing different for nonfiction childrens books? (For example, a science topic for middle grades)Its SO different! Its furrier, for one thing, and sometimes its purple!
Ok, so I didnt really understand the question. There arent a lot of differences, aside from submission (see below) and the need for fact-checking. Were you thinking of something else?
(2) I know for adult nonfiction, authors are not expected to write the whole book before submitting. Is that true of childrens books as well or do editors expect the complete manuscript?
If its chapter-length nonfiction, then yes, usually those are sold based on sample chapters and an outline.
(3) Are nonfiction titles a harder sell to publishers/bookstores?They certainly can be. Some nonfiction sells great---The Dangerous Book for Boys, for example. But a lot of nonfiction (especially chapter-length nonfiction) only does well if its very well supported by teachers and librarians, and as you may have heard in the news, they have NO MONEY TO SPEND ON BOOKS right now. But thats ok, because we didnt want those kids educated anyway. Who cares if theyll be old enough to vote soon? Most adult Americans NOW dont know what "nonfiction" means, and everythings just fine, right?

New Year New You New Start The Choice is Yours
New Year New You New Start The Choice is Yours

Upon reading posts on Facebook, browsing pins on Pintrests, and seeing pictures on Instagram, I find that that "new years" often makes people cynical. There are those that mock the "new year, new me" mentality, and then there are people who are desperate for it. I see both sides.
What I believe most about a "new year" is that nothing in your life will change or be different unless you are willing to work for it. Circumstances do not change unless you do.
Here we are six days into 2015. I feel tried. I am worn out from the holidays. Work has been as crazy and hectic as ever; and I find myself stating that constantly. I believe I need to come to the conclusion that is not going to change. Parallel to work, there was copious amounts of travel, lack of sleep, lots of food, and RLS flare-ups.
I think a lot of us feel worn out from the holidays and sad that they are over. Therefore, a "new year" mentality is just the bit of hope to get one back on track and provide a goal to work and hope for. Right now, I need that.
But then I remember that everyday is a new start if you give it that power. No matter how many times you have slipped on your diet, said "no" to a workout, bought that purse when you needed to save the money... everyday is another chance to get it right. Everyday is another chance to try again. Do not focus on that bad choices of yesterday, focus on how you can make positive choices today... right now.
That is what I am going to do. I have let loose, enjoyed myself thoroughly, and now I need to get back to work. Life is all about "finding the balance", and I am glad I enjoyed myself and veered off of my normal tightly structured schedule, as it enabled me to breathe and try new things, which also resulted in me missing my structure! For a while I was bored of it... now I crave it.
This is a new year, and it is bringing an abundance of changes for me-- a big part is sharing my life with someone else now. Which in itself is a fun, new journey, though stressful at times.
Take control and be kind to yourself. A lot of people are in that "after holiday" slump. Ease into a new routine that implement the changes you want to make in your life. Diving in too hard into those changes can result in drowning yourself -- crashing and burning. Changing a little at a time creates consistency and consistency is what forms habits. That is what your new changes need to become -- a habit, something you always find yourself doing. That is how I lost weight. That is how I fell in love with exercising. That is how I changed the way I look at myself. Those positive changes that resulted into new habits are what make it easier for me to reset my mind and fall back into a healthy structure.
So, here we go. From my oily, greasy hair that is carelessly thrown into a bun with my coffee stained pants, I say Happy 2015 and lets make it the best yet.

No one is too old for fairytales
No one is too old for fairytales





Flower Crown from Crown and Glory || Swimsuit from Lovelysally || Skirt from ShopAKIRA || Shoes from Jeffrey Campbell x Edge of Urge || Cardigan from Cannery Row Vintage
I really like pastel colors like on the swimsuit and it makes me even more wish that it would be summer. That metallic skirt is a must-have. Metallic prints, pastel colours, geometric prints, camouflage and also flower crowns are on their way to get spring trends. Some of them you probably know from this season or from last year.
These shoes from a collaboration between Jeffrey Campbell and Edge of Urge were limited edition and I can say they are way more comfy than they look!
