COKE.
As if this is really news. Mr. Sheen says in new interview with Life & Style magazine that indeed he is losing his mind. I guess having being fired, losing his kids and all types of chaos.
Charlie is the first case of social media millionaire addicts that has had an ability to control his press in a way that we have never seen before. Very very sad. Pray for this guy.
I made the change from a common thief
To up close and personal with Robin Leach
And I'm far from cheap, I smoke skunk with my peeps all day
Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
The Moet and Alize keep me pissy
Girls used to diss me
Now they write letters 'cause they miss me
I never thought it could happen, this rappin' stuff
I was too used to packin' gats and stuff
Now honies play me close like butter played toast
From the Mississippi down to the east coast
Condos in Queens, indo for weeks
Sold out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak
Livin' life without fear
REST IN PEACE - BIGGIE SMALLS
May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997
Poet and political scientist Tamim al-Barghouti could not be in his home country during the Egyptian protests that brought the government to its knees. He's currently in exile, teaching at Georgetown University. When the protests began, however, al-Barghouti's voice played a large roll in the protests.
After the government shut down internet in the country, al-Barghouti faxed a new poem to the Egyptian newspaper where he wrote as a columnist. "When they published it," al-Barghouti told PRI's Studio 360, "it was being photocopied and distributed in the square."
Eventually people erected two huge, makeshift screens in Tahrir Square, where the protests were being held, and managed to project Al Jazeera broadcasts onto the screens. "I was called," al-Barghouti recounts, "and I was asked to read the poem like almost every two hours."
That moment, he says, "made me feel a little bit less immersed in guilt that I am not there and that I'm unable to be there at this moment."
Poetry has always been at the forefront of opposing Tyranny, according to al-Barghouti, "throughout the Arab world, not just in Egypt." In fact, he says that most Egyptian poets were imprisoned, either by Mubarak or his predecessor, Anwar Sadat. For al-Barghouti, however, his punishment was exile from Egypt after protesting against the war in Iraq. "My story is very trivial," he says, "others have suffered much more."
Now, al-Barghouti believes things are changing. "This is one of the very rare moments where our hopes and our expectations are not so far apart," he says. Islamists, nationalists, communists, liberals, independents, the left and the right are all working together to remove Mubarak. "This revolution is so unique that everyone wants something new out of it," he says. "Because it is new, and everyone expects something new -- democratic and free."
DEMOCRATIC & FREE
Carrie Fisher was smoking hot in her Star Wars days. Whoa!
ROSSON CROW: BOWERY BOYS
Rosson Crow's exhibit "Bowery Boys” featured her talented nostalgic snapshots of the streets of lower Manhattan. The beautifully rendered works featured periods from the 1800′s to the current landscape depicting the gritty urban facades of the “Big Apple”. Fully utilizing the grand space that Deitch Projects is renowned for, Rosson’s ginormous environmental pieces transported the audience to a dreamy realm that only “Ro-Crow’s” imagination could. The house was packed from the opening moments as many out-of-towners were drawn to see what Deitch and Rosson could produce. Via: (ArrestedMotion.com)

People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy... and I keep it in a jar on my desk.

Ring doughnuts are formed by joining the ends of a long, skinny piece of dough into a ring or by using a doughnut cutter, which simultaneously cuts the outside and inside shape, leaving a doughnut-shaped piece of dough and a doughnut hole from dough removed from the center. This smaller piece of dough can be cooked or re-added to the batch to make more doughnuts. A disk-shaped doughnut can also be stretched and pinched into a torus until the center breaks to form a hole. Alternatively, a doughnut depositor can be used to place a circle of liquid dough (batter) directly into the fryer.
Doughnuts can be made from a yeast-based dough for raised doughnuts or a special type of cake batter. Yeast-raised doughnuts contain about 25% oil by weight, whereas cake doughnuts' oil content is around 20%, but they have extra fat included in the batter before frying. Cake doughnuts are fried for about 90 seconds at approximately 190 °C to 198 °C, turning once. Yeast -raised doughnuts absorb more oil because they take longer to fry, about 150 seconds, at 182 °C to 190 °C. Cake doughnuts typically weigh between 24 g and 28 g, whereas yeast-raised doughnuts average 38 g and are generally larger when finished.

Milton Glaser attended the High School of Music and Art in New York from 1943 until 1946 before going on to art school at Cooper Union from 1948 to 1951. Then Milton Glaser was a Fulbright Scholar studying under Giorgio Morandi at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Bologna in 1952/53. With Seymour Chwast, Reynold Ruffins, and Edward Sorel, Milton Glaser founded Push Pin Studios in New York in 1954. "Push Pin Graphic Magazine", which expounded the graphic style and the more liberated Push Pin Studio design philosophy was also launched in 1954. As a graphic artist, Milton Glaser drew both on contemporary culture and historic period styles for inspiration; his playful style is lively and witty, enhanced by psychedelic colors. Unlike the stringent formalism of the Swiss school, the Push Pin style tends to eccentricity and eclecticism. Milton Glaser designed numerous posters, including the famous Bob Dylan poster for CBS Records (1966) and the advertizing poster for the Olivetti "Valentine" typewriter (1970). From 1968 Milton Glaser co-edited "New York Magazine with Clay Felker, which would be the model for so many later city magazines. When the Push Pin Studios were disbanded, Milton Glaser established a graphic design studio of his own in Manhattan in 1974: Milton Glaser, Inc. Glaser continued to work as a commercial artist for the print media, designing the logos and the entire corporate look for several firms. Milton Glaser also worked as an interior decorator. For the French illustrated magazine "Paris Match", Milton Glaser created a new layout (1974) and also revamped "The Village Voice", "Le Jardin des Modes", "L'Express", and "Esquire". In 1973 Milton Glaser created the "I love New York" slogan with the word "love" replaced by a red heart for a tourism campaign launched by New York City. This graphic idea was copied again and again all over the world in innumerable variations. In 1984 Milton Glaser designed the Sarajevo Winter Olympics poster. It was Milton Glaser who designed the top-floor World Trade Center restaurant (1976). In 1983 Milton Glaser joined Walter Bernard in founding WBMG, a company specializing in magazine and newspaper design; clients included "La Vanguardia" in Barcelona, "L'Expresso" in Rome, "The Washington Post", "Money", and "Business Tokyo". Milton Glaser's work has been exhibited at one-man shows in museums worldwide, including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
