|
Mighty Mic is a 9-day event at UCLA, consisting with Genocide Awareness Week, ending in a Human Rights Awareness Concert. The event will coincide with the sixtieth anniversary of the 1948 Genocide Convention, founded by Raphael Lemkins, where the world first proclaimed its opposition to genocide and ethnic cleansing at the international level. The week will consist of events intended to promote awareness about past and present genocides.
The event is put on by a group of students dedicated to social justice and human rights. Last year, they brought artists such as Peaches an

| Season Shot
|
The Swiss Army Knife and iPhone reflect our love of hyper-efficient utility—a single compact device that ably performs a number of tasks. The gun has typically only done one thing well: putting a bullet in someone or something. You can put a bayonet on it, but otherwise it’s fairly singular. But someone’s figured out how to make the ammunition multi-task. Season Shot both kills and seasons most bird game. Hunters and their kin need no longer worry about cracking teeth on forgotten steel shots. The steel shot has been replaced by a biodegradable flavor pellet and is available in Cajun, lemon pe

| Gold Pills

Popular entertainment keeps giving rich people insidious ideas. Although we’re meant to find the lavish excesses of Daddy Warbucks, Scrooge McDuck, Richie Rich and C. Montgomery Burns risible bordering on appalling, their misadventures have no doubt given real life gazillionaires viable methods for spending their (ill-gotten or otherwise) gains. The rich had run out of things to make out of solid gold before comic strips, comic books and cartoons replenished their imaginations. Now counterculture artists Ju$t Another Rich Kid and Tobias Wong are helping the rich waste their money on their wast

| Brammo Enertia: Domestic Electric Bike
|
Tech and green converge for the US-born Brammo Enertia plug-in electric motorcycle. While the auto industry keeps promising electric power for your commute, Brammo delivers. With a racecar-inspired monocoque chassis and a high-torque electric motor powered by lithium batteries, there’s enough juice to ride 45 miles between three-hour charges. And you can blow out your hipster friends on their Vespa scooters with instant acceleration and a top speed of 50 mph. We definitely dig the retro-bike design, too…though you can buy a pretty sweet Ducati for the same $14K price.

| The Back-Up
|
Apart from sitting on the toilet, we are most vulnerable when we are sleeping. Spiders can easily crawl into our gaping mouths. Our fraternity brothers can handily draw a cock and balls in black Magic Marker on our cheek. Our uncles can pull back the covers and gently push down our Underoos without us knowing. Nighttime leaves us open to terrors both imagined and very real. Less benign than the fraternity prank or relative molestation is the home invasion. Get your stuff stolen. Get raped. Get killed. It’s enough to have you watching all the Nightmare On Elm Street movies and taking notes to s

| 2008 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V: 200 hp for $20K
|
The OG Sentra SE-R was a favorite of the early ’90s’ Fast And Furious crowd. Nissan jumps back into the game with the smart looking 2008 SE-R Spec V. And it’s more than a spoilered and stickered econocar. With a high-output 200 horse motor, big wheels and brakes, track-tuned suspension and a helical front diff to put the power down, the SE-R is a serious small car performance bargain at $20K. This was a blast to cut and thrust through Hollywood traffic.

| Music Faun
|
We don’t expect to have the same job all our lives anymore. We also don’t expect to be married to the same person all our lives, if we get married at all. But when it comes to our bodies, we’re much more comfortable with the notion of permanence these days. We get a butterfly tattoo on our lower back with no mind to how it will look once we’re getting sponge bathed in the nursing home. On we trod with ever more elaborate tattoos, breast augmentations and other body modifications. One of the latest pseudo-trends is “music faun” ear surgery, which permanently transforms you into a Mr. Spock impe
