Levi Maestro x L.A. Jeweler Shayan Afshar: "Infinity Piece"

The word beautiful doesn't begin to describe this accessory. This is a collab between Levi Maestro and the Los Angeles Jeweler Shayan Afshar. I called this an accessory because the ability to tell the time seems to be...absent? It features 18k gold plated yellow and Rose gold versions with a mere 12 pieces available to the public. I got one by the way.

Revenge.

A picture is work a thousand words. Curse words. For this upcoming game in Columbus, Ohio Canes' fans have been waiting since the '03 Fiesta Bowl. Canes' players from that game have been in the ears of the currant players all summer long. While Jacory Harris was only 12 when that game was played, he has gone on record for saying that, it'll be nice to get revenge but I'm focused on this team, now. As a Canes' fan myself, thats not what I want to hear. I want to hear that he has the backs of all the Canes' fans and players of that team. It's a family. We supposed to have each other's backs. But hey if Jacory goes in that ugly "pony shoe" and lights up that over rated D for 300 and 3 touchdowns, I'll forgive him. Oh yea, Chris Gamble has reportedly admitted that there was no penalty on that play.
While in Columbus, the Buckeyes take this as any other big game they've played for a regular season. They are not looking back at that '03 Fiesta Bowl game at all. "The past is the past," Terrelle Pryor has said to reporters. All we know is that this Saturday at 3:30 it's going to be must see TV. I just hope they got shutters on that "pony shoe."

Fidel Castro Says Cuban Model No Longer Works.

Here's a story i got from Reuters about Fidel Castro. Pretty interesting on his views now. Has he "grown-up' at the tender age of 84?

Reuters: Jeffrey Goldberg, a writer for the Atlantic Monthly magazine, wrote in a blog that he asked Castro, 84, if Cuba's model -- Soviet-style communism -- was still worth exporting to other countries and he replied, "The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore."

The comment appeared to reflect Castro's agreement, which he also expressed in a column for Cuban media in April, with his younger brother President Raul Castro, who has initiated modest reforms to stimulate Cuba's troubled economy.

Goldberg said Julia Sweig, a Cuba expert at the Council on Foreign Relations think tank in Washington who accompanied him to Havana, believed Castro's words reflected an acknowledgment that "the state has too big a role in the economic life of the country."

Such sentiment would help President Castro, who took over from his brother in 2008, against those members of the ruling Communist Party who oppose his attempts to loosen the state's hand, Sweig told Goldberg.

Goldberg wrote in a blog on Tuesday that Castro summoned him to Havana to discuss his recent article about the likelihood of conflict between Israel and Iran, with possible U.S. involvement, over Iran's growing nuclear capabilities.

He said Castro criticized Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for anti-Semitism and denying the Holocaust.

Castro, since emerging in July from four years of seclusion following intestinal surgery, has become an anti-nuclear weapon crusader expressing concern about the future of the world.

He fears that if the United States and Israel try to enforce international sanctions against Iran for its nuclear activities, nuclear war will break out.

Castro also criticized his own actions during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis when he urged the Soviet Union to launch nuclear weapons against the United States, telling Goldberg "it wasn't worth it at all."

During their visit, Goldberg and Sweig went with Castro, at his invitation, to see a dolphin show at Cuba's National Aquarium in Havana.

They were accompanied by local Jewish leader Adela Dworin, who Castro kissed in front of the cameras in a possible message to Iranian leaders, Goldberg said in his Wednesday blog.

Goldberg described Castro as physically frail, but energetic and mentally acute.

Best iPhone App. Ever. (kinda sorta)

The iPhone 4 has been greeted with mix emotions. Plenty of customers complained about the dropped calls and poor call quality when held a certain way. And then there are those who love the latest version of Apple's all-in-one phone. One thing nobody can contest is the lack of pixels you get with an iPhone. iPhone's meager 5 megapixled camera is lackluster compared to HTC's Evo with its 8 megapixed lens. Well Take this HTC. The best part about it, is that it just takes a few turns of the screws to attach too. Eat your heart out photographers.



I really hope this is just the beginning of the return of the greatest rap duo in history. OutKast.

No Break For Beas.

Not too long go, I posted something about how Michael Beasely is going to average 22 and 12 for the T'Wolves next year. I could be wrong. Unless he could do that on 25 minutes of work a night that is. Lets see why. One thing I'm taking away from this World Championship games in Turkey is this; Kevin Love is legit. After reviewing Kevin Love's stats for lst season, that sold me totally on him. He avg 14 points and 11 boards a game in only 28 minutes. That is making the most of his opportunities to say the least. He looks like hes ready to get increased minutes and in doing so increase his already fat stat line. He looks to be a lock at the four for years to come for the T'Wolves. Darko Milicic just signed a new four year 20 million dollar contract with the Wolves as well. A versatile forward who still has room to grow in his game. Milicic has gotten better every single year he has been in the L. Just happens to be a slow pace to take notice, but hes a good NBA player none the less.
So does Beasley play the 3 then? With Kurt Rambis the new head coach for the T'Wolves, someone who is known for being a defensive minded coach? We all know that offensively Beas can go toe-to-toe with any body in the L (except Kobe. DUH). Being in the west Bese is going to have to guard Caron Butler, Al Thorton, Ron Artest, Rudy Gay, Hedo Turkoglu, Nicoles Batum, Richard Jefferson, and oh yea Carmelo his he stays in Denver and Duranchala on a nightly basis. All will have season if not career highs against Beas less than shaky D. But the T'Wolves just drafted Wes Johnson, a prototypical NBA small forward. Not to mention Martell Webster and Corey Brewer also vying for playing time. So Beas will be rendered to a few more seasons of basically a reserve. Can't Bease get a break? He just needs to play out his rookie contract and go find somewhere where his talents can be put on full display. Which is basically limited to offense.

Battle For The Heisman.

Jacory V.S. Terrelle. On September 11th the rematch that the canes' fans have been waiting for since Ohio State robbed them of a title in 2002. There really isn't much to write about this game other then it's going go decide who goes to the national title game, and who the front runner for the Heisman will be.


Go Canes'.

The Best Keep Getting Better, And Better, And Better.....

It's September, which means it's new iPod time, and Apple didn't disappoint. The iPod shuffle, nano and touch all received serious redesigns today. Not shockingly, the iPod classic was left out of the mix, with some speculating that it could be the last hurrah for the device that truly kicked off the digital audio revolution.
The shuffle is heading back to its roots and bringing back buttons, likely a welcome change for most users who never got used to shouting at their player to skip a track. The new version regains the old control circle, bumps the battery life to 15 hours, and shaves $10 off the price. The new 2GB model will be available next week for $49 in a variety of colors.

The nano received the most drastic makeover. It's gone square, ditched the control wheel, and added a multitouch screen, making it look more like a shuffle with a screen. Prices are the same, $149 for 8GB and $179 for 16GB, as are many of the features you've come to know and love, including Nike+ integration, pedometer and FM radio. It's also added a shuffle-esque clip to the back, removing any need to wear an armband when exercising.

The iPod touch update was hardly surprising. Although it has retained the old-school iPhone and iPod touch rounded look, the insides have been updated to reflect the current state of Apple technology. True to its heritage, it's an iPhone without the phone, packing a new A4 processor, a gyroscope, an HD video-capable camera, a front-facing cam for Facetime, and, most importantly, a "retina" display. The new iPod touch will start shipping next week in 8GB, 32GB, and 64GB varieties with costs at $229, $299 and $399 respectively.

Kevin Durant. Only Time Will Tell.

Nobody stock has risen faster then Kevin Durant's has this summer. And he really hasn't done much. Yes he took to Thunder to the play-offs, and the Lakers to 7 games. Props for that. Mad props. But ever since the love affair with LeBron has ended with his decision, KD has been anointed the new NBA king? He has been given the keys to Team USA in this Worlds Championships, and now people are saying he is going to be the NBA's all-time leader in scoring?
Pump the Breaks people. He's a great ball player. Really Great. One of the best offensive players in the world. And yes he's only 22 after next month. He's a hard worker and a fierce competitor, ask Oklahoma State. But to say he is going to past Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, and Kareem Abul-Jabbar, is a far stretch. These players had other great players around them to help alleviate some pressure, and KD has Russell Westbrook, who isn't bad, but isn't a scorer per say. Watching KD's game, I do not see the ability to create off the dribble. His offensive game, which is pretty complete, relys too much on others facilitating him. He's a top 3 catch and shoot player in the L, his post game is extremely polished for a guard/forward, and he does not miss free throws. But the fact that he can not bring the ball up, make a move and go hampers his chances of putting up great numbers for years and years. Not to mention his frame looks as fragile as your moms favorite lamp. How long can his body put up with a NBA schedule? And a National team schedule too? All questions still to be answered. Now that the NBA has been put on notice after his performance last season, it'll be interesting to see how his game can change and adapt. We hear tons and tons about how hes a hard worker, and loves to play and learn. We are going to learn who KD is going to be for the next 7 years after this year. Can he learn, adjust, and take that next step? Just another tantalizing plot for the season that is 2011.
