Feature: What the hell happened to Tony Hawk?
Once upon a time, the Tony Hawk series was one of the biggest in videogames. If you listen to Metacritic, the Tony Hawk Pro Skater titles are some of the best games of all time, and every one of them was a runaway bestseller. At the beginning of the last decade – just after the release of Pro Skater 2 – the franchise was generating $250 million a year, according to figures from analyst Wedbush Morgan.
Last year, the year of Tony Hawk: Ride, franchise sales were closer to $100m. This year, Activision's trying – failing – to flog $120 fake skateboards to children, whilst Activision publicly defends its abysmal sales.
What on earth happened, and why, when Activision is culling the likes of Bizarre Creations, won't Activision finally shoot the Hawk?

Neversoft thinks turntable integration for Guitar Hero would be swell
Neversoft has told Eurogamer that it would like to see turntable integration with Guitar Hero in the future.
Apparently, the DJ Hero turntable becoming compatible with the game is not too far-fetched, nor is bringing drums to DJ Hero now that you can use little plastic guitars with DJ Hero.
"When we started putting guitar and rock tracks into the mix, they sounded good but it felt that there was something natural missing," said DJ Hero studio boss Kevin McSherry.
"The piece came when we worked out a way to keep a guitar track in its entirety and mix in a DJ set to it. So you get a truly authentic Guitar Hero experience and a truly authentic DJ Hero experience within the same mix."
Guitar Hero 5 and DJ Hero are slated for PS2, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 this September and October, respectively.

BENNINGTON Vermonts Department of Fish and Wildlife says no hunters were injured or killed while in the woods last year, the first time in four decades.
Chris Saunders of the department said 2010 had formerly been the lowest on record, with only two incidents.
Saunders said the three main injury types are when a hunter shoots someone else thinking they are game, shoots someone else while shooting at game, or shoots himself or another when the gun fires unintentionally.
The Bennington Banner reported that 1981 was the worst year for hunting injuries with a total of 27 incidents, one of them being fatal. The highest number of fatalities came in 1973, with four incidents out of a total of 18.MORE IN This Just InRUTLAND- The federal prosecutor's office in Vermont says a 31-year-old man is going to prison for...

Cauliflower Gratin with Sharp Cheddar and Parmesan
(Makes 4-6 servings, recipe adapted from Broccoli Gratin recipe in A Pinch of Salt Lake.
1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized flowerets
1 cup finely grated sharp cheddar cheese (I have made with with low-fat and regular sharp cheddar and both were fine)
4 T mayo (or light mayo, but not fat free)
4 T light sour cream
1 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
fresh ground black pepper to taste
3 T finely grated parmesan cheese
Spray a glass or crockery baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray, then pour the well-drained cauliflower into the dish and spread out evenly. Use a rubber scraper to spread gratin mixture over the top of the cauliflower. (This is not a sauce that completely covers the cauliflower, more like a topping.) Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, then bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until cauliflower is bubbling and lightly browned. Serve hot.

The last several years have seen a number of horrific maulings at the hands of chimpanzees. How can animals that share 99 percent of their genes with us, yet are only a fraction of our weight, possess such amazing strength?
As I understand it, chimps have more long-twitch muscle fibre than humans do. We specialise in fine manipulations using short twitch fibres, which chimps are less capable of, and they in raw strength.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisWhile I did understand, it was not clear why if a human chooses to apply all the small motor neurons towards a power move, we would not get the same effect as a chimp with neurons controlling large muscle groups.
Still missing something here I think.
I anticipate that chimps will be genetically engineered in the future, turned into slaves. Big mistake.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to this99 % is an exaggeration.
You have got to admit thats some pretty cool stuff man!
I can think of other reasons, not at all considered here:
The leverage possible due to shorter/stronger bones
Simply more muscle
Stronger tendons
Strength evolved over time based on needs:
killing other animals with their bare hands
showing strength among males
That chimps have such strength despite the extensive similarities with humans is nothing strange. We are much taller and much more intelligent than chimps. Why? Same logic, but the other way.
Most of the time our conscious minds appear to be prevented from calling on more than a moderate fraction of our strength. Consider the story about a mother lifting a car off her child: in an emergency, humans are allowed to call on more of their muscle fibers. An arm yanking a finger back from something hot or sharp probably also involves a high percentage of muscle fiber activation.
As implanted neurocontrollers become feasible we'll see improved athletic performance. After an initial period of experimentation and discovery, carefully written control software will be able to safely call on a large fraction of each muscle group's power. It will also be possible to extend endurance by alternating among different groups of fibers within a muscle. It'll also be possible to a neurocontroller to exercise different parts of one's body by activating opposed muscle groups in turn.

Another explanation I'd read a while ago was connected not to increased gray matter but increased 'white matter' which coincidentally is a significant feature of the human brain and almost non-existent in non-humans, and the suggestion was that the white matter acted in an electrochemical pathway modulating the signal from the brain...the 'whiteness' of the matter due to increased fat which gives it a lighter color than the cortex and outer skin. We do see that electrical shock can over-ride the brain's constraint on the signal (does adrenaline do this too, causing a kind of chemical shock that overrides the normally constrained signal)...someone being shocked can toss themselves across a room displaying the kind of strength that we would expect from a chimp...so we have the muscle strength from a purely bio-mechanical perspective even if draped on differently adapted architectural structures.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI have read in the past that chimp's have denser muscle tissue, is this also true? Because though interesting, the video doesn't explain such a large difference in strength. For instance, black widow bites cause one's exoskeleton muscles to contract (all at once, extremely painful). Strong individuals can sometimes break leg bones but I have never heard of a chimp breaking its arm or leg while using its strength.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisThey are stronger because their diet is much better.
Our DNA is very similar to theirs. Our digestive system is designed for fruit and vegetables eaten raw and uncooked, just like theirs.
If you eat what they eat, mainly fruit and vegetables raw, and exercise with intensity then you will become a lot stronger too. Not as strong as them pound for pound, but very strong none the less.
There is much confusion about what makes up true strength. You need to look at it from a cellular level. Muscle fibre is a collection of cells joined together by chemical bonds. When volume (number) of bonds are many between the cells then you have what are called strong muscles. Additionally through lots of intense exercise over time the number of cells increases too.
Compare against a weak person, low volume of cells and low volume of connections between those cells. In addition having weak connections because the cells are weak and unhealthy. Energy (lots of it) and lots of chemicals are required to keep cells strong.
With a diet mainly of fruit, chimps/apes supply their cells with plenty of high quality energy plus thousands of chemicals that are normally stripped out of modern man's diet through processing or even cooking.
With this energy they are able to stay much more active (they have to - to survive) and hence are working out their muscles a lot more. But with plenty of chemicals, minerals, vitamins from their diet their cells get exactly what they need, and maintain excellent health, which leads to excellent muscle tissue.
A lot of answers can be gained from observing nature as it is right now, rather than theorizing about what happened millions of years ago, something no-one nor any scientist can prove. "they evolved this way" bla bla bla.
Pointless babble, nothing of which can be proved. What can be proved is, what happens when you feed chimps a modern western diet, and what happens when you feed a modern man/woman a chimps diet.
Modern man's diet makes chimps/apes sick and weak.
A chimps diet will make a modern man very strong.
Try it for yourselves. 1 Month. See for yourselves this is true. Not only will you get rid of pounds of unwanted fat from your toxic diets, you will have energy and want to work out. When you work out, you will feel like doing it intensely and more often, much harder than you have wanted to before.
You will feel really good and you will start getting really strong. Meat heads at the gym, body to weight strength ratio, will be weak in comparison. Then this question will be answered for you. Enjoy.

Stricken ship's Master arrested as containers topple in Rena Disaster
'MV Rena grounded on Astrolabe Reef, Tauranga. She is beam on to four metre seas. The protruding section of the reef can be seen in the white water to the right of the shot' New Zealand Defence Force

There have been three significant developments in the Rena Disaster.
Seventy containers have fallen off the ship overnight as she continues to be pounded by 4-5 metre seas off Tauranga. More expected to come off as the adverse weather continues. The containers stacked in the stern, which have broken free were earlier said to be empty.
The Rena's Master has been arrested and appeared in the Tauranga District Court at 1000hrs, Wednesday morning (NZT). On Wednesday evening it was announced that the second officer, who was in charge of the navigational watch of the vessel Rena, is facing one charge laid by Maritime New Zealand (MNZ) under section 65 of the Maritime Transport Act (MTA) 1994, 'for operating a vessel in a manner causing unnecessary danger or risk'.
He will appear in the Tauranga District Court at 10am on Thursday 13 October.
The issue of hull deformation is advised by those who flew over the Rena, this morning, and it was seen for the first time. By early afternoon it was reported to have split open amidships, and moves were being made to try and prevent the stern breaking off completely.
The breaking up of the Rena is not unexpected and was predicted in a story in Sail-World on Sunday evening

that this would happen today, Wednesday.

A statement issued this morning by Maritime NZ reads:
The Master of the vessel Rena has been arrested and charged by Maritime New Zealand (MNZ) under section 65 of the Maritime Transport Act (MTA) 1994, 'for operating a vessel in a manner causing unnecessary danger or risk'.
He will appear in the Tauranga District Court this morning (Wednesday 12 October).
One s65 MTA charge has been laid, but it is likely more charges may follow.
The s65 charge carries a maximum penalty of $10,000, or a maximum term of imprisonment of 12 months.
MNZ will make no further comment while the matter is before the courts.

There is no further information on more oil release, after 350 tonnes were reported to have been released yesterday.
According to
the winds will increase today, Wednesday, before easing, however the large swells will stay in until Thursday before easing slightly. The incident has been declared to be the biggest maritime environmental disaster in NZ's history. Outflow of oil increased tenfold today with up to 350 tonnes being released from the ship.
In an earlier release Maritime NZ advised that shipping had been re-routed.

Approximately 70 containers have come off the Rena and are now in the water.
It is highly likely that more will come off due to the current severe weather conditions and the vessel's heavy list.
Once an aerial survey is completed, there will be a clearer picture of exactly how many containers have come adrift. This aerial survey will go ahead today once the weather has cleared and the sea conditions have improved.
There are 1368 containers on board. Eleven containers containing hazardous substances are still on the vessel and are not among the 70 estimated overboard.
Navigational warnings have been issued to mariners and major shipping has been re-routed.
Containers are likely to wash up on the beaches and if you see any, please call 0800 OIL SPILL (645 774).
The contents of the containers remain the property of the owners. It is an offence to take any property from the containers and anyone doing so can expect to be prosecuted.
Last Wednesday the 236 metre container ship, Rena, hit the Astrolabe Reef just off Tauranga harbour New Zealand. She was traveling at 17knots, when she hit the well-known reef at 2.20am.
She has stuck fast with her bow in the reef. A massive salvage operation is getting underway some five days after the incident.
Rena has 1700 tonnes of fuel oil aboard and if this is released into the pristine coastal area it will be the most serious environmental disaster in New Zealand's history.
Rena position - Astrolabe Reef, Tauranga -
Maritime NZ?nid=89520
After the first day of a storm onshore seas have caused the Rena to shift, and come more upright. While the authorities claim that this is a result of rock crushing below her bow, it may also be further crushing of the ships hull - depending on which is the more sacrificial surface. As expected more oil was released from either cracked bow tanks (which are being pumped aft) or from the keel duct which contains 100 tonnes of oil which cannot be accessed by the salvage team.
The amount of oil now released (370 tonnes) exceeds the amount previously stated to be in the keel duct, indicating that a fuel tank may have been ruptured.
It was stated this morning that bringing a floating crane from Singapore to offload containers would take a month. There is no crane in NZ with sufficient height to get to the top of the container stack. It would seem that Mother Nature is doing what Man cannot.
The salvage team has now set up a permanent base in a vacant supermarket, with about 200 people on site on a single floor, with the expectation that this recovery operation will take several months, rather than weeks.

If you look at a map of China through the ages, you will usually find (from about the Han up) a huge mass representing China. On the other hand, you look at a map of Europe, and you'll usually see a huge number of states. Why was China able to unify and not Europe?
China (or at least its core) had a central, unifying culture built around philosophers such as Confucius and Lao-tse that was attractive to people over a wide land area. Also, the Chinese written language was developed from pictograms that represented "words," which although pronounced differently in different locations, could have the same meaning over wide land areas. This core culture was widely admired, which is to say that people on the "edges" of "China" were often open to assimilation. And the country was fortunate that when conquered, it was by more "backward" (but fiercer) people such as the Mongols and Manchus who were glad to adopt Chinese culture, and also impose it on conquered people. In Europe (at the risk of oversimplifying), there were three main cultural linguistic groups, Latin, Germanic and Slav, of roughly equal power and influence. While the balance of power shifted back and forth over the centuries, no one group became dominant. And often, they could not impose their culture over smaller subgroups that got in their way. In theory, Latin might have fulfilled the function of a common language like Chines, but (apart from modified forms such as French, Spanish or Italian, in most of the former Roman territories), it never took hold over the common people in the rest of Europe. Nor was there a common culture in most of Europe, at least until the time of the Enlightenment. | |||||||||||||||||||||
It is a wrong assumption that Europe was never unified politically. First, in the ancient times the cultural development of different European peoples was very diverse. The most advanced peoples of Europe adopted the Greek culture, alphabet and gods. You can see this on the example of Etruscans who used the Greek alphabet and worshiped the Greek gods. The same can be said about the Balkan peoples, Spanish peoples and to a certain degree about Italians. Germanic and Celtic peoples of the time also used Greek alphabet for their languages. At the height the Greek civilization included not only most civilized parts of Europe but also portions of Middle East and Africa. The North Europe was not included mostly because it was not that much developed at the time. Later the civilization of Rome followed which also included the the most civilized parts of Europe and Mediterranean with some other areas as client states. In the Middle ages, the Catholic Church and the Holy See took the role. It was only starting with high middle ages the European nations began to assert sovereignty, partly because of the falling authority and prestige of the church. | |||||||||||||||||||||
In Rome and China: Comparative Perspectives on Ancient World Empires, the first chapter by Walter Scheidel, From the "Great Convergence" to the "First Great Divergence", makes the case that the Chinese style of government focussed on centralising power while the Roman style allowed for a great deal of autonomy for appointed officials. The Warring States era pitted states of similar size against each other for centuries, necessitating governmental reforms that strengthened the power of the central government. Qin implemented various measures that weakened the power of nobles, established standards across the kingdom (everything from language and currency to the size of axles) and allowed the central government to reach into all areas of society, with ultimate power being in the hands of the king. When Qin conquered its rival states, it sought to impose this same system throughout China, and despite its rhetoric, Han actually adopted most of Qin's institutions. Rome had comparatively brief periods in which it was matched against opponents of similar strength. Thus, its war efforts did not require the same level of internal reform and centralisation. Scheidel writes also that: Scheidel notes that Chinese cities were typically governed by officials who came from outside the region. Thus, they were viewed as government appointed administrators rather than the community leaders who formed city councils in the cities of the Roman Empire. In times of disunity, Chinese warlords were more likely to be acting as pretenders to the throne than as representatives of regional interests. In terms of philosophy and religion, China was founded on a combination of legalism and Confucianism. Both of these stressed the importance of centralised control and an ordered society. Rome was founded upon first paganism, then Christianity. Scheidel does not mention the former, but Edward Gibbon makes the case that paganism allowed for greater tolerance of the local customs of conquered areas, and it makes sense that this also allows for greater acceptance of autonomous government. When Rome turned to Christianity, it was to "churches that had evolved outside and in some sense in opposition to the imperial state" and therefore "could not offer comparable services" in terms of governance to Confucian scholars. | ||||
I think that stems from both geographic and cultural factors. At first it is almost like Jim Thio said. Only that it may not exactly be mountains. If you look at the early agricultural societies in the West, those would be 1) along the Nile river (Egypt) 2) Tigris and Euphrates rivers (Mesopotamia). Those are two places divided not only by mountains, but by sea and desert. Later there were also agricultural societies on the Crete island and in the Greek peninsula (which are also cut off from both Mesopotamia and Egypt by the sea). If you look at the early agricultural societies in the East Asia, those would be located primarily between the Yellow river and the Yangtze river, mostly on the plain. In the West, the diverse landscape prevented early cultures from directly 'meeting' each other and by the time they had actually 'met' they had already become very distinct. And by the time the subcontinent known as 'Europe' had risen to prominence (that happened late because Europe is located north of China; Europe is approximately the same latitude as Japan or Korea, both of which were not agricultural until at least 1000 BC, given that agriculture began earlier than 5000 BC in Mesopotamia, Egypt and China) a certain culture had already been established in the region by the Roman Empire and largely Christianity. It would be long to describe the kind of culture it was, but to make long short, it was an individualistic culture that did not really care about the government and state. It was a kind of culture that tried to distance itself from the Roman rule and Empire as that rule was in fact pretty dirty and senselessly violent. In China, on the other hand, there were no geographical obstacles that powerful at the early stages of civilization. Therefore different states constantly warred with each other from early times (consequently merging differing cultures of the China proper). Legalist and Confucian morals and political ethics, that were mentioned here, were in fact a response to those constant feuds. As that, Confucianism in turn did not really care about religious beliefs and local customs, concentrating more on the social order and politics. Therefore we have in the West 1) very little fertile land for early agriculture (for early agriculture the land must be very fertile, so that agriculture is advantageous compared to hunter-gathering) 2) major religions/philosophies (platonism, zoroastrianism, manichaeism, judaism->christianity) that began in around 5 century BC concentrating on uniting cultures that were very much diverse. On the other hand, in China we have 1) a lot of fertile land comprising the 'China proper' that does have little natural boundaries, most of which are not as significant as a sea or a desert. (For argument's sake, historically there were places in China that were hard to reach - parts of Vietnam and Thailand in the south and Korea in the north. At certain times China did control those lands, but for short periods of time, and those nations certainly do not claim themselves Chinese - just as the British do not claim themselves Roman.) 2) major religions/philosophies (confucianism, legalism, taoism) did not try to unite the common cultures, but rather are about an 'order of things' that is above those cultures. | |||||||||
There was always somebody around Europe applying the Divide and Conquer strategy. When the Roman empire was at it's peak they consistently attacked, or supported the enemies of, the strongest of the Germanic tribes to make sure none of them would become too strong. Even those desperately trying to make friends with the Romans... if they were too strong.. peace was impossible. As Augustus, emperor of Rome so memorably put it "We will make sure we always support the weaker side, so they can keep fighting the stronger ones, and we're sitting pretty and the Germanic tribes are no longer a trouble for us" Augustus, Rome, 9.ad. Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAQqIcBamhs&feature=player_detailpage#t=2343s The same has been true later on except then it was the British making sure no one would become too strong. Most of the African nations they created were nations the locals didn't really want to make, and they were made specifically with civil war in mind. Sudan for instance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fj4hWU3VNr0. When the French became all powerfull in 1812 the British did all they could to weaken them. And then Germany started rising in 1880 and by 1910 the British were onto them this time. Also at the rape at Versaille in 1919 the divide and conquer strategy was thoroughly applied to central europe. Czechaslovakia and Poland were created out of thin air and Germany was shrunk and made to pay enormous fines etc. Also Austria-Hungary, Germany's main ally was completely dissolved. Map of Europe in 1900: https://www.mtholyoke.edu/courses/rschwart/hist151/maps/big1900_files/1900big.jpg So this division within Europe is not a coincidense but a design. The same goes for the middle East and Africa. But why wasn't somebody maintaining division within China in the same way.. well, the west did try to break China up in the 19th century, the country was split up into provinces each under the jurisdiction of a given western nation. The problem was that the Chinese were much more populous than the entire western world combined, plus traveling this distance was still quite expensive. So maintaining a large army that far away was logistically difficult. Also anti western sentiment in China grew with time and eventually became such that life for westerners there became bad. Also, the United States was against any trade restrictions with China. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The great civilizations of Eurasia has mostly risen up around rivers that go through big fertile plains. This is true for the Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Indian and Chinese civilizations. Europe's only candidate, the Eastern European plains, with Volga, was too cold and had too harsh winters to allow a big Neolithic/Bronze age civilization. As such, Europe was not a candidate of unification at this time, and the ability to keep a European empire together without one big river as the heart of the communication probably didn't arise until the Renaissance. That Europe therefore has not become united until the last few decades (and even then it's rather split in two: Russia and EU) is hardly surprising from a purely geographic perspective. Europe is a "peninsula of peninsulas" and there are no geographic features to grow a civilization around. A harder question is why only Rome succeeded in unifying the Mediterranean. | ||||
Look at internet. No barrier of entry. So google grab all the niche. It's things like that. Now look at your local store. Why they don't expand all the way to Arab? The answer is something called barrier of entry. It's just as costly for google to expand to your neighbor than to Arab. So they expand everywhere. Your local coffee shop doesn't have that luxury. The same goes in China. No mountains means there is no barrier of entry for the most disciplined, smart, meritocratic king to expand everywhere else (it's really a bad thing but does sound positive). In Europe, they got mountains forcing kings to maintain niches. China contains plenty of land. In business term, there is no barrier of entry for those with lower marginal cost to expand to new territory. Europe is mountainous. Say I am winning. I may have the best army. People may fear me more. It costs less for me to screw others than for you to fight against me. But alas, all these mountains is hard to travel. The peasants don't talk my language. In other word, in Europe, defender got more "home territory" advantage. In china attackers have about equal advantage with defenders. Note: Well, the case of three kingdom period in China where China is NOT united, actually supports my point. Cao Cao cannot conquer Sun Quan precisely because there is a river that gets in the way (or so simplistically said). So natural state boundary often coincide with hard to pass terain. Europe has more of it than China. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Chinese rulers put in place an extensive education and annual examination system to allow everyone in the country to serve the government and rise in society. This deliberately designed system for upward mobility was not seen in any other country of the time, and may have served as a catalyst for all people to assimilate and become loyal citizens. In fact these philosophies and values (mainly Confucius) were part of their studies, and were tested in the national exams. | |||
The foundation of the ideal of being Chinese for different Sinitic peoples (northern Han, Wu, Cantonese, Min etc) might have been stronger than Christianity in Europe and prestige of Roman empire. Besides (and related) nationalism and individualism in Europe might have been factors while Chinese are more social community. | |||||||||||||
I don't think it is simply a matter of "Chinese culture was superior to all others in the region while European cultures were equal to each other" as the accepted answer says. Instead, I think it has to do simply with history. In Europe, there was an era of powerful city-states. The notion was that a group of people who banded together to live in a massive city would control and use the resources of their land for themselves and not have to share (forced or not) with others. They felt that each city should be able to care for itself. This notion remained with Europeans throughout the centuries and there were always groups who preferred to keep borders small and were not interested in expansion, all they wanted was to look after their own community. Even when things like the Roman Empire came along, it eventually dissolved because of a desire people had to be part of smaller, more intimate groups, rather than large nations and empires. This has repeated itself throughout history - as any time a nation tries to take over large amounts of land in Europe, it eventually dissolves back into much smaller groups. Because that's how the people WANT it to be. This did not happen in China. There was no major "city-state" era in which people got attached to the notion of keeping things local. Even among the smaller states that did exist in the beginning, the theme seems to be that they were more interested in conquering their neighbors rather than looking after themselves. That is what remains today. China is one of the largest countries in the world and Europe is full of much smaller countries who are STILL breaking apart to get as small as possible (Montenegro just separated from Serbia just a few years ago). When is the last time a group in China separated from the country? How about separated peacefully? Not for a long time! This is also why concepts like communism are popular in China, where there is no sense of localization. Throughout their history they have always shared land and resources with as many people as possible (everyone in the vast kingdom). Meanwhile, in Europe, from the time of the city-states until now, there has always been a sense of locality with everything. People only want to share resources with their family and close neighbors, they don't want to share them with people hundreds of miles away. This is why concepts like communism failed in Europe, there has never been a history of "sharing" on a large scale there. | |||||
Let me throw my two cents into this debate. The other reasons that China was able to unify because of race and religion. China has one pre-dominant ethnic group, Han, sharing a common written language ('hanzi') and common familial bonds (millions of Li, Zhang, Chen, etc). Chinese are generally religion-agnostic. That's why Buddhism and Taoism have coexisted in China for millennia. Chinese people believe more in "good fortune", ie. karma, than any particular religion. | |||||||||||||||||

Written by one of the foremost authorities in the world on impressionism and French painting of the period 1830 to 1930, this catalogue looks at the world's most beloved impressionist and examines some of the artist's most important and sometimes rarely seen paintings, including the famed Giverny canvases, the iconic haystacks, and the Rouen cathedral series. Normandy has been a source of inspiration for artists over the centuries, and the catalogue puts Monet's work in context with those who came before—Corot, Millet, Courbet, Whistler, and Boudin—and his fellow revolutionaries—Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir, and Degas. Featuring more than sixty master works, Monet in Normandy marked one of the largest impressionist exhibitions to be on view in the United States. Includes contributions from North Carolina Museum of Art Curator of European Art David Steel.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for SG 2013 Savings Groups Conference. We are no longer accepting applications.
We will need up to 8 volunteers for the two day event. Our volunteers will be instrumental to the success of this conference. We encourage graduate students, young professionals, or those interested in development initiatives to apply for this valuable opportunity to learn more about the field. We are seeking organized individuals with strong interpersonal skills and knowledge of the DC area.
In return, the SG 2013 registration fee will be waived for all volunteers and meals will be provided. You may also attend and observe select research and programming sessions. Transportation fees will not be covered.
The deadline to submit your application is February 4th, 2013. Please note we will not accept late applications.
We will need volunteers for the following roles:
Pre-conference volunteers will assist in assembling program packets, setting up the registration area, posting session signs, and other duties.
Conference registration volunteers will check-in pre-registered participants, register any new participants, distribute registration packets and name badges, and attend to general registration needs.
Workshop and Panel Sessions
Session volunteers will assist in the set-up of each room 30 minutes before the session's start. They will also ensure presenters have checked-in at morning registration, guide them to their designated presentation room, and assist in distributing session materials.
Special projects will need to be carried out throughout the conference. These volunteers will have several different assignments throughout the day. Responsibilities may include directing conference attendees to all sessions and meals, assisting with book events, and guiding VIPs to their reserved seating and sessions.
Throughout the two days, all volunteers should be prepared to answer questions and provide information about the conference's program and schedule. Volunteers may be asked about the DC area, so it may be helpful to know about local attractions, transportation, and restaurants. An orientation session will be held before the conference so that volunteers become familiar with the hotel, program, and details of their roles.
Contact Belicca Ferrer (firstname.lastname@example.com) for assistance or questions.

Following are links to a couple of very useful You Tube demos that Ka Ho discovered, for classic 3-point lighting. While they are well done, please bear in mind for most news and documentary situations, we will only normally achieve 2-point lighting…. ie. a key light (set more straight on to the interviewee rather than at 45 degrees as suggested in the demo) plus a back light (or kicker), working in tandem with the key light. There won't be too much shadow on the face because of the absence of a fill light, but if it bothers you, then try using the reflector (usually supported on a chair to one side of the interviewee) to bounce light from the key to that side of the face. If you DO have a third light on location, it will invariably be used to do something interesting on the background.
V-light and Pro-light kits are availble for check-out. If you use them to set up 2-point lighting, you are recommended to use the V-light with diffuser as the main light, and the Pro-light (close the barn-door a bit to control the light shape) as kicker.
Diffuser and Blue gels are available in the kit.
As we only have 4 light kits, please request in the reservation e-mail if you need them.

AARP's online community is a kind of "wisdom circle" that draws on the shared experiences of AARP members. This column is adapted from a thread in the community's Grief and Loss group.
A grieving woman confides in a coworker and receives hurtful advice
Dear Wisdom Circle, Seventeen years ago I lost my younger daughter in a tragic accident. I've managed since then, but my older daughter got married last year and just had a baby. I'm elated, but I feel the loss of my daughter. I'm also friendly with a colleague who's given good advice in the past. Recently I told him I feel sad around the anniversary of my daughter's death, and he said I should just "forget about it." I was shaken by his response. Should I tell him how he's hurt me?—Intersan
RESPONSE #1 People often give these "slap-in-the-face" answers for one of two reasons: ( 1) They want to snap you out of your grief if they think you're slip-ping into despair, or ( 2) they really don't care about you or your feelings. You may have to examine this relationship and try to determine which camp your colleague falls into. I also think you should let him know how much his words wounded you. Give him the chance to explain his remark, and decide whether to reassess this friendship. —Oldieone51
RESPONSE #2 Judging by his reac-tion, your friend has probably been hurtin a similar way, and his method of deal-ing with grief is to just forget about it. Ifhe's a true friend, you have to talk to him.I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my wife in2008 and miss her every day. —Chuck-sr
I think my colleague didn't want me to get depressed thinking about my daughter's death and he spoke without thinking, as the Circle suggested. He believes that people shouldn't dwell on their losses. I considered confronting him, but I let it go, since we work together. Now I'm just wary about discussing personal matters with him (because of his differing philosophy), and so we limit our discussions to books and music. But if he makes another insensitive comment, I'll tell him on the spot that his words are hurtful.

Customer Reviews for On Sale Brown Bedroom New Additions
"Easy Simple and well worth it!"
By Happy kitchen from Texas
I recently remodeled my kitchen and wanted a new look for my kitchen windows. I wanted something with a simple design but that looked expensive and custom made. Well that's just what I got! The arched Cornice boards are beautiful, very well constructed and look way more expensive than they actually were! To be sure, I ordered the swatch pak before hand so I would be sure of the color of the fabric. Then I watched the video on how to measure everything and then I placed the order online. The cornice boards arrived much earlier than expected and I was actually able to ask my contractor to hang them for me. He had all 3 cornice boards up in about 30 minutes! They look great and it was just the finishing touch my new kitchen needed. I would totally order from Blindsgalore again with out any hesitation!
View this product"Perfect for our nursery"
By JJSmith from Denver
We decided on this blind for our nursery because we wanted something that would create total darkness, but we also wanted something that would let light through and just provide privacy for occasions when the babies aren't sleeping. This is a perfect solution. The blackout portion keeps almost all of the light out, then the regular shade allows light in but looks great. I love it. The cordless feature is also important since it's in a babies room.

SMF Support > SMF 1.1.x Support
How to block IPs?
I have a bot farm hitting my forum.
This started as a spam reported post from a Russian IP. After the second one, I deleted the post. However, that didn't stop it. My error log is now full of constant attempts to report this now-nonexistent post. The IP addresses all trace to IPTelligent LLC in Florida.
Tech support at my host told me to edit SMF's index file to block the session ID. Is that really the best way to handle this? Seems like it could cause issues upgrading not to mention I can see it filling up with more session IDs if this continues.
There are multiple IPs coming in from two different ranges, ie first 3 sets of numbers the same. These are not members, I use Stop Forum Spam and security questions on registration as well as admin approval required. But I need to leave "report to moderator" open to guests.
Any suggestions?
I would suggest adding this to your .htaccess file which will block the IP's in the range.
--- Code: ---order allow,deny
deny from 123.123.123
allow from all
--- End code ---
Notice how I left the last octet blank. This will ensure the range of IP's from 126.96.36.199 - 126.96.36.199 is blocked. Make sure to change the first 3 octets.
Yes, using an IP block in .htaccess would be best, as it prevents those addresses from even getting to SMF. If you don't feeling like editing .htaccess yourself, any decent host control panel should have some mechanism for "block access by IP address". If you're on a Windows (IIS) server, I would assume they have some similar mechanism for doing that.

A day after a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Maia Panjikidze on Friday also brushed off U.S. concerns about arrests of allies of President Mikhail Saakashvili.
The U.S. is watching the new Georgian government for signs of drift from the West following October's parliamentary elections. The new prime minister, Bidzina Ivanishvili, defeated Saakashvili's party and assumed much of the government's powers. He quickly pledged to improve relations with Russia and crack down on abuse of power by the former government.
Several officials have already been arrested. On Thursday, Clinton expressed concern about the arrests but also received Panjikidze warmly and praised the country for a peaceful transition of power.
Panjikidze said in an interview with The Associated Press that she and Clinton discussed the arrests and she did not take Clinton's warning as strong criticism. Panjikidze said she told Clinton that the arrests are "about the restoration of justice and everything will be done will be done according to the rule of law."
She said Georgia is willing to invite international observers to monitor the justice process.
Georgian foreign policy will remain largely the same as it was under Saakashvili's government, Panjikidze said, though the government will try to ease tensions with Russia.
She said Russia has barely responded to the Georgian efforts to mend ties.
"After Ivanishvili announced the appointment of the special representative, the reaction from Moscow was very strange," she said. Moscow has said it is waiting for Georgia to take further steps, but has not elaborated on what it wants.
Panjikidze said that gaining NATO membership will remain a top priority for Georgia and it's not clear how Georgia can mend relations with Russia as it pursues that goal, which Moscow has stridently opposed.
"We hope that we can strengthen and deepen the relationship with the United States, because the United States remains the most important strategic partner for Georgia," she said.
She said reaching a free trade agreement with the U.S. will be a high priority for Georgia and that the country plans to maintain its large contingent of troops serving in NATO's mission in Afghanistan.
