The WORLD is going bankrupt, (what ever that means) because of this idea called debt, which doesnt even exist in the physical reality, its only part of a game we've invented. And yet, the well-being of BILLIONS of people is now being compromised. Extreme layoffs, tent cities, accelerating poverty austerity measures imposed, schools shutting down, child hunger and other levels of familial deprivation...ALL because of this elaborate fiction..WHAT ARE WE FUCKING STUPID!?- Peter Joseph
"I have watched the social values of society be reduced into a base artificiality of materialism and mindless consumption. And I have watched, as the monetary powers control the political structure of supposedly free societies. I'm 94 years old now, and I'm afraid my disposition is the same as it was 75 years ago. This shit's got to go." -Jacque Fresco
The youth of humanity all around our planet are intuitively revolting from all sovereignties and political ideologies
When the power of love
overcomes the love of power
the world will know peace

161 Broadway Street, Anonymous & 157 Broadway Street, Marc Hall
By Philippa Eden
Originally built as worker housing by the Bisso Towboat Company on land owned by the Bisso family since the 1880s, these matching single shotguns share a number of features in common – like the mirror-image bungalow style entrance ways and vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, - but demonstrate the versatility of the shotgun house with their unique floorplans and individualized decorating style.
161 Broadway
The owner of 161 Broadway returned home after evacuating from Hurricane Katrina in early October 2005 to find that a mini-tornado had touched down in her neighborhood and damaged her house substantially. She was greeted by shattered skylights, blown-out windows, a damaged roof and large portions of the Lambeth House rooftop gazebo in the backyard. With a major renovation now necessary, the owner remodeled the kitchen and master bath and added a walk-in closet and screened-in back porch.
Design choices throughout the home represent New Orleans and the local environment to make this home unique. Brightly painted walls reflect the city’s Caribbean ties and works by local artists abound. Light streaming in through skylights and large windows illuminates the works of local artists: a wall sculpture of dancers by Steve Lohman sways and greets guests at the entrance; paintings by Linda Rosamano, other Louisiana artists, and family members, line the wall leading into the kitchen; and tiles by New Orleans local pottery artist, Mark Derby, are used in the design of the kitchen counter and stove’s backsplash. Furnishings include a desk built by the owner’s father, Col. Al Sutton, which sits alongside early 1800s colonial dye pots that the owner’s dog found when digging in the backyard. The mid century modern mural painted by Sandor Furedi beneath the front gabled roof remains the home’s most distinguishing feature.
157 Broadway
Marc Hall found original cypress siding and longleaf pine wood flooring when he purchased 157 Broadway Street in April 2002. Marc prefers the old feel of his home and besides leveling the house, adding new brick piers, and removing the florescent lighting, he changed the house only minimally. Initially, he did not even want to live in a shotgun. Over time, he changed his mind and now he wonders if he could live happily in another house type without asking himself “Why do I have all these walls?”
“I came to Leeds with my two little babies, the youngest was only six weeks old. I’d split up with my partner, I actually left to get away from him. My parents had emigrated to Australia sometime before. Neither my brother nor my aunt wanted to know so I was very much on my own. When I used to come to the market and sit in a cafe, I’d look at mums and their daughters, and I’d miss my mum. When you have a baby I think it’s natural to think about your mum. It took me three years to get over not having anybody. But I got through it, I survived, I grew and became the stronger person that I am now. I couldn’t have done it without love; love is our best resource isn’t it?”

236 Walnut Street, Leila and Tommy Gamard
By Sissy Blewster
Leila and Tommy Gamard’s home at 236 Walnut Street has been a labor of love for
nearly a two decades, with the home reflecting not one, but three major renovations tackled during their time in the house – once in 2001 just after Leila and Tommy purchased the property, years later when a fire destroyed a large portion of the home, and more recently a bedroom suite addition. Pulling up to 236 Walnut Street today, it is a quintessential New Orleans home full of charm and curb appeal, wonderfully updated yet historically grounded. The painstaking attention to detail with which the Gamards first renovated the house and Leila’s ability to revel in telling the story behind every one enabled them to rebuild identically after the fire, from the floorplan to the paint colors.
Seeing the house today, one would never guess that in the mid 1990s when Leila rented one unit in the property, it was a somewhat neglected double shotgun. After Leila and Tommy purchased the home from their then-landlord, they hired architect William Sonner to transform the property into a single and add a camelback. Throughout the renovation, the Gamards reused materials – sometimes for their original use and sometimes in new and inventive ways. Bricks that were once part of the chimneys were used to construct the front steps and courtyard, which is visible from the beautiful balcony built off of the master bedroom. The home’s original floors, doors, trims, and moldings were all salvaged whenever possible and custom millwork was used to match if necessary. In the master bathroom, pine floors salvaged from the owner’s grandmother’s house further the theme of reuse. William Goliwas of Protocol Construction helped in their most recent two renovations keeping the style, charm and design of their shotgun intact.

The Sexuality of Machines
is a discussion with Sergio Messina (it), Karla Grundick (de) and Julianne Pierce (uk)
Moderated by Gabriella Coleman (us)
Saturday, Feb 4, 2012, 11:00–12:30
Since the 1990s, some experiences in the queer and activist scene showed how to transfer an experimental hacker and DIY attitude from technology to the body and to the broader concept of sexuality. The hacker ideas of sharing, openness, and the hands-on imperative all became a challenge to imagine a different kind of sexuality – and pornography – beyond rigid dichotomies and patriarchal structures. With the increasing use of social media and chan boards, the reflection of sexuality and the experimentation on pornography is entering progressively into the realms of abstraction: bodies become fetishes, identity is objectified into an anonymous “sign”, and the interaction via machines is the tool of desire. However, DIY porn is becoming an aesthetics and practice open to everyone rather than a field of study among specialists – or a successful niche market within the porn business. Digital amateur porn disrupts social codes to unpredictable effects.
The discussion is part of reSource Sex, wich reflects on the interference and overlapping between sex business and ‘alternative’ porn, aiming to explore and discuss the open interzona which exists in between the often male-oriented mainstream porn, and the more narrow scene of queer and alt porn communities.

This panel sheds light on the interferences and tensions between sex and business, analysing practices and strategies of technology entrepreneurship and networking models, online sexual imagery and queer virality. Moreover, it stresses the aspect of conscious reflection on bodily practices as opposed to simply consuming, focusing on how queer communities and sex workers use IT in their communication and how they try to break usual stereotypes through online and offline actions. A conscious reflection and practice of sexuality can be the way to imagine a different model of “commercialising eros”, mobilising communities, generating advocacy, and more broadly, shaping culture.

The following description of the inoculation process at Dorena is excerpted from pages 72 and 73 of the Whitebark Pine Restoration Strategy for the Pacific Northwest Region. 2009–2013 (available here: ecoshare.info/uploads/documents/WPB_Strategy_PNW_093008cl...):
"The Dorena Genetic Resource Center (Dorena), a component of the regional genetics program of Pacific Northwest Region (and a partner with the regional Forest Health Protection group), has established protocols for blister rust resistance testing of whitebark pine. These protocols are based on those developed and successfully used for screening of western white pine (P. monticola) and sugar pine (P. lambertiana) over the past 5 decades (Danchok et al. 2003).
Resistance testing involves inoculation of young (usually 2-year-old) seedlings with spores of C. ribicola and evaluation of seedlings for up to 5 years after inoculation. Inoculation usually takes place in late August or during September (which coincides with time of natural infection in the field). Seedlings are moved into a climate-controlled inoculation chamber. Temperature within the inoculation chamber is maintained at around 16.7° C (62° F) and relative humidity at 100 percent.
Ribes spp. are the alternative host for C. ribicola, and spores from infected Ribes spp. are necessary to infect the pines. Ribes spp. leaves infected with C. ribicola at the telial stage are collected from forests in Oregon and Washington or from the Ribes garden at Dorena. The Ribes leaves are placed on wire frames above the seedlings, telial side down. Spore fall is monitored until the desired (target) inoculum density of basiospores is reached for each box; the Ribes leaves are then removed. After the target inoculum density is reached for the last box, the temperature is raised to 20° C, and the seedlings are left in the inoculation chamber for approximately 48 hours to ensure spore germination and infection of the pine needles.
Following inoculation, the seedlings are transported outside. The seedlings are evaluated over a period of 5 years for the presence of disease symptoms and mortality. The first symptoms to develop are needle lesions, or ‘spots.’ These are typically assessed approximately 9 months and 1 year after inoculation. Presence and number of stem symptoms along with mortality is assessed annually for 5 years after inoculation."
