On the heels of its critically acclaimed Toronto and off-Broadway runs, the Manson Family-themed You Are Perfect hits Los Angeles for a limited engagement. Written and directed by Cyndy A. Marion, this 75-minute psychological thriller pulls the focus from Charles Manson and places it squarely on his impressionable young disciple, Susan Atkins.
Set in Atkins's prison cell on the eve of a key moment in the Manson murder trial, You Are Perfect is a dramatic — and at times surreal — reimagining of this Family member's life, psyche, and inner demons, hurtling us through time and space while questioning allegations of murder and deceit. The play ultimately asks whether forgiveness and redemption are even possible for someone in Susan's situation.
Although Manson factors heavily into the narrative, this is the story of a young woman imprisoned for murder after finding herself under the power of a toxic, overpowering male figure.
Toyota Motor Corporation announced that the Crown Majesta has undergone a complete redesign, and will go on sale from today at Toyota dealers in Japan nationwide today (Tokyo Toyota and Tokyo Toyopet in the Tokyo area and Osaka Toyopet dealers in the Osaka region).
The new Crown Majesta follows in the footsteps of the Crown Royal Series and the Crown Athlete, which underwent complete redesigns last December based on ideas dating back to the very origins of the vehicles, but it was also created to take the top position on the next generation of Toyota brand vehicles in consideration of the domestic launch of the Lexus brand in 2005.
With "dynamic and majestic" as its theme, the new Crown Majesta has an imposing presence that is attractive and expresses vitality, and the vehicle features a 4.3-liter engine and VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management) that provides highly responsive driving performance. The adoption of cutting-edge technology, including "Pre-crash Safety" (radar system) that uses a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) camera, and radar cruise control with a low-speed mode that keeps track of the preceding vehicle, enhances its status as a luxury vehicle. The new Crown Majesta expresses the ideal for a prestigious sedan in a new era.
The strong form of the front end, the unrestrained side view, and the dynamic and characteristic rear view that tapers toward the rear create a majestic appearance that exhibits attractiveness and dynamism.
All models are equipped with a 4.3-liter engine, 6 Super ECT with Sequential Shiftmatic, and a newly developed air suspension, providing ready power as well as excellence in maneuverability in the pursuit of fun driving. Non-4WD (rear-wheel-drive) models also feature VDIM.
Through the use of numerous cutting-edge technologiessuch as VDIM, an advanced CMOS-camera-equipped "Pre-crash Safety" radar system, a radar cruise control system with a low-speed mode, Lane-keeping Assist system, Night View, Intelligent AFS, etc.broad progress in terms of safety and comfort has been achieved.
A power trunk lid that is opened electronically, Smart Entry and Start technology that enables automatic door locking and unlocking and vehicle ignition, and new air cleaning technology called Plasmacluster Ions* provide the ultimate in comfort in all situations from the moment passengers get into the vehicle to the moment they exit. * Plasmacluster Ions is a registered trademark of Sharp Corporation
All vehicles achieve emission levels 75% lower than 2005 standards under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transports Approval System for Low-emission Vehicles.

Spotting shills is almost like developing a sixth sense. Once you know how to spot them, they can actually be useful in helping you to pinpoint the important issues. Any thread they try to derail or any topic they try to debunk is exactly the issue you should be investigating.
The quote by Chris Hedges is very true. The world we live in is pretty messed up and it’s only going to get worse. Hopefully we can win or at least gain some serious ground in the health info war before the shit hits the fan.
I am glad you raise the place of the party, that great political question of the last century or more. Though that sounds like a quippy double-entendre, I don't quite mean it that way. First of all, I do think that the question of the party remains incredibly vivid for political organizing and militancy. "The party," within what is known broadly as "anticapitalist" space, stands almost absolutely for Leninist state communism (with a soupçon of Mao). But these in turn are religiously identified with Marxism, which transitively comes to mean The State, The Party Form, and so on. Obviously I think this is a mistake; I don't think opposing the state in any way implies opposing Marxian modes of critique. That's just a false equivalence. As is well-known, for better or for worse, Marx did not offer a theory of the state, and for me the heart of his critique concerns political economy — something that comes in handy even for the most anti-statist sorts.
That said, in the context of the current anti-Party sentiment, two things have been striking. One is the efflorescence of groups that insist both on their existence as something like a party but not. "The Invisible Committee" is the obvious example. "The Imaginary Party." "The Imaginary School." And so on. Ranciere has that appealing formula for the dispossessed, "the part which has no part." It won't do. But we seem to be in a moment also of "the party which has no party." I'm sure someone has already said this. I am only trying to capture the current status of being betwixt and between, concrete and abstract, material and ideal — and how important it feels for so many people to stay in that space of both/neither/nor. It feels beautiful and bewildering.
But there is also the prevalence of parties, like, let's party. Not just in pop, which as you note, has really given itself over to the ambiguity of "the party" — ambiguous not just because it's both delirious and corrupt, but because it was that already, last Friday night and the Friday before, all the data is on the table, but we still aren't making a decision yea or nay, we're just doing it again. That seems like a deft naming of the situation.
Meanwhile over here on this side of the YouTube mirror there is also the noted preference for the dance party, the street party, as an element of militancy. Those occupations you mentioned had, with great consistency, dance parties as part of the action. "Electro-Communism" was the watchword. They were tactical: a misdirection, a way to draw a crowd, a way to keep a moving and occupied mass between antagonists: occupiers and police. They were also celebratory and fun, a pleasurable and exciting part of it all. Indeed, the crossing of wires between tactic and pleasure made them even more compelling and ecstatic, the synecdoche of a tragically temporary communalization. And sometimes they were just ways to pass the time. It's amazing how much time you have when you don't show up for your job.
And then the dance party leapt from being something one did inside or outside the occupation to being a street party, and a mode of indirect (sometimes not so indirect) confrontation with cops. Hip-hop started to replace electro. Post-millennial tension increased. The party was a riot as tactic, as interruption, its own occupation of an intersection, party as militancy. This place about to blow. This moment has not yet exhausted itself as the latest form of the ambiguity, the aspect shift of betwixt and between, visible and invisible, confunkshun and conspiracy: Street Party, or Party of the Streets?
What has this to do with poetry? Nothing and "dreadfully much." This insistence on the invisible and imaginary, on the preservation of the non-concreteness of the party, strikes me as temporary — as a fact of our current moment, matching up with, say, the ambiguously abstract concreteness of finance, the way that fictitious capital both is and isn't imaginary. But it also strikes me as the zone of poetry. I'm not persuaded, as you know, by most comparisons of language and money. I don't believe in the materiality of the signifier. But I do think that poetry, where its physical distribution on the page and its appearance and so forth matter — well, for this and many other reasons, I do think that poetry is the literature of this ambiguous zone, material and not, invisible and not, the party which has no party.
I am being optimistic today. And that's the story of how I was elected to the Parliament of Uzbekistan.
A couple of brief comments on "value." I used to question the labour theory of value because value is clearly not an empirical fact. A couple of marxists told me that didn't matter because it is inferred from price, which is empirical. But then i thought, i don't give a rat's ass whether it's idealist or empirical, it's all physical. Checking the OED, the economic sense of "value" goes back to the 14th century, as does the sense of personal worth, etc. But the sociological/philosophical sense is 20th century! And now for a really conservative view: "A value comes into existence when something is destroyed." Hannah Arendt (paraphrase) By the way, i note this Canadian website questions the Canadian spelling of "labour." george
George, yes! And, yes! And, wow, it's a very long (and for me fascinating) discussion. The position that you can't objectively measure value but can objectively measure price (in fact, it is understood as the objective measure), so we ought just work with prices...well, this the foundation of marginalist and neoclassical economics. One of the upshots turns out to be that, in only talking about price, one only has to talk about what happens in the sphere of circulation where prices are exchanged — in the marketplace. And so one never has to confront the question of exploitation in the sphere of production, in the workplace. As you can imagine, this is a very convivial outcome for bourgeois economics. To this I would add: Marx does not have a Labor Theory of Value. David Ricardo does. So does Adam Smith, more or less. In fact, Marx starts his critique — first chapter! — by demolishing the Labor Theory of Value they propose. The idea that disproving the Labor Theory of Value invalidates Marx's analysis is one of the great moments of falsehood in our intellectual history. It's a bit like saying that by falsifying Lamarck, you have shown that Darwin was wrong. And if some "marxists" defended the LTV, seriously, they should read the damned books. Lastly, I agree (if this is what yr implying) that the relation between value and price is at the heart of the mystery. Some part of my mind is on that every minute. There are no simple solutions. Nice to see you here!
Luke Davenport hopes to ‘punch above his weight’ in his maiden Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship season with Motorbase Performance.
The former British GT and Ginetta GT4 Supercup front-runner makes the switch to touring cars in 2017, partnering Mat Jackson and Martin Depper at the Kent-based Motorbase squad.
A double race winner in the BTCC-supporting GT4 Supercup, Davenport said that he was encouraged by his maiden test in the Ford Focus ST towards the end of last season.
“It’s incredible. It came about through a test I did in October, we’ve been discussing it since then and now we’re both here at the Autosport Show – I’m really pumped.”
The 23-year-old set his sights on Jack Sears success in 2017, but intends to be a consistent top-10 performer in his rookie season.
He added: “We all know how competitive the car is. The Jack Sears Trophy is becoming more and more competitive each and every season, plus there’s going to be more strong drivers in it this year.
“We would never think about a championship in our first season, but I think that with this I can punch above my weight, turn a lot of heads and hopefully earn a trophy by the end of the season.”
Davenport was aware of the ‘cut-throat’ nature of touring cars, but is not intimidated by the challenge ahead having raced on the competitive TOCA package before.
“Going from GTs means it is going to be a very different environment. But it’s still just as cut-throat – I’ve just got more of a battering ram to play with when it does get a bit tight!
The former GT racer will also have the luxury of an experienced team-mate in Jackson, who claimed five wins on his way to finishing third in the 2016 Drivers’ Championship.
The internal battle within the team is something that Davenport says he welcomes, saying “that’s a key thing. Having the experience of Mat there is great.
“My aim however is still to compete with him, but to begin with him there as a starting marker is perfect.”

From a dusty field in Mafraq, Jordan, 7 miles from the Syrian border, I watched smoke trail through the sky from the bombs falling on a city in the distance. To me, this was more than just a symbol of the violence in Syria. That city was once home to my friend Ola.
In 17 years, my friend has endured more loss and more trauma than most people experience in a lifetime. Ola wants to ensure that no one will go through this much pain in the future. Although she feels limited in her ability to work toward this goal in her current situation, Ola wants to start her mission by sharing her story.
In October, during one of our many conversations on her hospital bed in Amman, I asked Ola about her life in Syria. "I was a spoiled child, forced to grow up overnight," she told me. We sat in silence. A few moments later, she turned to me, "Anything else?" I did not need to ask her any more questions. I knew exactly what she meant.
Feb. 13, 2013, Ola went to school as usual. Still, she felt that something was wrong. During a break between classes, she pulled her best friend aside and wrote her a note in her book. Before handing the book back to her friend she said, "Promise me that you will not read this until fate allows." Her friend was confused but agreed to not read the note.
Inside of the book Ola wrote, "This is my writing. This is so that if you do not see me for a long time, you can remember me. I love you." It was the last time she saw her friend.
That afternoon, Ola found her mother in the kitchen and begged her to take the family out of Syria. Her mother refused. Angrily, Ola left the room and joined her brother and sisters for the afternoon prayer. This was the last time she saw her mother.
As they prayed, Ola and her siblings heard bombs outside. When the noise stopped, she went with her sister to see where the bombs had fallen. Afraid, Ola ran into the house. Seconds later, she felt as if her body was on fire. A bomb had hit her home, and launched shrapnel into her spine and lungs.
Ola was rushed to the hospital, where she was told she had a four percent chance of survival. She was immediately transported to Jordan for treatment. She said she had made it through that night by thinking about seeing her mother again. In the morning, she learned her mother had died.
Ola spent the next nine months in a Jordanian medical center awaiting surgery to remove the shrapnel from her spine. The doctors were reluctant to operate because there was a 50 percent chance the surgery would result in paralysis. The operation was completed successfully.
When I met Ola in July, I asked her about her dreams for the future. She told me she could not hope for anything because all of her dreams in Syria had been crushed by the onset of war.
I pressed her on the question and she confessed to me that her dream was to live in a house with her siblings who had been taken to the Za'atari refugee camp in Mafraq, Jordan.
I set out to make her dream a reality. Through a crowd-funding website, I was able to raise the money to help Ola rent a small apartment in Amman with her remaining family members.
Today, Ola lives with her cousins, aunt and younger siblings in a two-room apartment in Irbid, Jordan. She experiences post-traumatic stress daily, but this does not stop her from having dreams.
Ola hopes to go to college, where she wants to study English. Eventually, she wants to become an ambassador so that she can work to prevent conflicts like the one in Syria from happening in the future.
When you think of Ola, do not reduce her to a refugee in need of pity. Instead, when you think of Ola, think of someone who does not let her circumstances interfere with her goals. From Ola, you should be inspired. Use this inspiration to take action on her behalf of Ola and the more than 2.5 million people who have been affected by the Syrian conflict.
On that same night in Mafraq, Jordan, sunset passed and the sky grew black, obscuring the bomb smoke from my view. The moon appeared, bigger and brighter than I had ever seen it. Darkness may make the moon shine brighter, but the violence does not stop once it is out of sight. The events in the news are not over when we recycle our newspapers or turn off our televisions. For this reason, we must work to ensure that the stories of the lives affected do not cease to be told.
First there was Valleyspeak, the eighties California girl’s liberal usage of “like.” Then came uptalk, wherein every statement was posed as a question? Both started among young women, but eventually infiltrated the general population. Now, middle-aged dad writers are freaking out over their daughters’ friends’ annoying creaky voice or vocal fry, but there’s a hot, new young-women’s verbal tic on the horizon: “I feel like.”
Young women love to start their sentences with it. I first noticed this in college seminars, where it seemed that if you simply prefaced your argument with “I feel like,” none of your classmates could shut you down outright. They might disagree with your point, but they couldn’t take away your conviction that you had felt it. Plus, your emotional hedge indicated that you were open to changing your felt opinion at a future point in the debate.
Now, I use “I feel like” all the time, to seem less aggressive, convey uncertainty, or buy some time before I decide what I’m going to say. I’m not alone. Jezebel’s Katie Baker talked to University of Pennsylvania linguist Mark Liberman, who looked at a large collection of transcribed phone calls and found that 6.7 percent of women had used the phrase, compared to 3.8 percent of men. ”This could be because female speakers want to “soften” their assertions somewhat more than male speakers do; or it could be because the overall frequency of the phrase is increasing, and female speakers are leading the change, as they often do,” he told her. I look forward to hearing more about my male conversation partners’ feelings in the future.
Jared Leto appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon last night to show off the pelt that he’s been growing since the Oscars. He loves his face-bush — but Fallon, recognizing that Leto was toeing the line between Bushwick bartender and full-on Jesus, offered to help the star “take the beard down a notch.” Watch as Fallon gingerly shaves Leto’s face. Then zoom in, slow down the video, and watch again while listening to this, and you’ve just created a new type of fetish video.
How did Leto feel about his spontaneous de-fuzzing? He tells Fallon, “You trimmed my bush really good.”

New Jersey waitress killed in traffic accident involving distracted driver | The Epstein Law Firm, P.A.
Irina Alekseeva, a 28-year-old Malibu Diner waitress from New Jersey was killed in a traffic accident involving an Amcare van. According to police at the scene, the accident occurred when Alekseeva attempted to cross 14th Street, but was struck by an Amcare Driver who was distracted as he "reached for a clipboard." At the time of the accident, the driver of the van was also transporting a patient - an 89-year-old woman from Hoboken. Both the driver and the patient were admitted to the Jersey City Medical Center.
Alekseeva was returning to work at 5:40 a.m. after visiting a nearby BP gas station to purchase cigarettes and a telephone card. She was pronounced dead at 6:16 a.m. after suffering severe injuries including a leg and head laceration, and a compound fracture of her femur.
Police determined that alcohol was not a factor in the traffic accident, and the driver of the Amcare van has not been charged, pending an investigation into the incident. Police are currently asking any witnesses to the accident to reach out to the Hudson County Sheriff's Office. Officials are also hoping that surveillance tapes captured the accident to assist in the investigation.
According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report in 2009, there were 5,474 deaths and 448,000 injuries in the United States due to traffic accidents involving a distracted driver that year. Sixteen percent of all fatalities and twenty percent of all injuries due to traffic accidents in the U.S. were caused by distracted drivers.
