"What we see depends mainly on what we look for."
They say a glass seen as half full represents an optimistic view, while a glass viewed as half empty is a reflection pessimistic perspective. Yesterday, my momentarily distracted mind caused a car crash, and I wrecked my car, leaving me in a sullen mood and a glass that I was certain was half empty.
Yesterday is only a past-tense representation of my life though, and today the glass is half full. Most my hard-earned savings will be spent on fixing my car, leaving me nearly broke, but I won't let my spirit be broken too. My enlightened perspective now is that I have nothing to loose, and everything gain.
Perspective is fuel for originality. We look at the same world, and see something else, our own worlds blossoming into life as a result of what we see, and what we are looking for.
Recently I've been flattered by blog comments from readers requesting my opinion of their blogs and similar. Lola asked me how to make her blog more like mine, to which I would advise, "in order to make your blog more like mine, make it less like mine." What I mean to say, is I depend on my personal perspective to blog, and I would be sorry to see anyone offer their readers anything other than their own unique perspective.
Sometimes though, perspectives are shared. An individuals perspective may inspire another, and that person's perspective will adapt and reform. In fact, I do believe we would be missing valuable links and benefits if we weren't open to hearing and seeing others' perspectives.
The manner in which we filter our perspective, what we look for, and then see, can provide us with a bounty of inspiration. In illustration, I have recently changed my perspective in fashion, and gathered inspiration from sources that I had previously left untapped: cathedrals, the night sky, a song: Ave Maria, candle-light, religion, eerie silence, and masked heroes. This territory I'm venturing into now, while it may only be fashion, is nonetheless a refreshing advancement of the evolution of my personal style.
Embrace your distinctive perspective, but never narrow your mind so that it is only possible to view your own perspective. Be open, and tolerant of the world's diverse perspectives. Conversion to another's perspective is never required, but if one is receptive, the discoveries we may make are virtually endless.
Said more profoundly by Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Life is a train of moods like a string of beads; and as we pass through them they prove to be many colored lenses, which paint the world their own hue, and each shows us only what lies in its own focus."
Has changing your perspective ever changed your life? Do you change your perspective often, and/or are you easily open to and influenced by others' perspectives? Who in your life, if anyone, has influenced your perspective the most? Since many of you are fashion fans, what is your perspective of fashion right now? Other thoughts?

Hey S-C,
Thanks for the info on the photos :O) these photos are also gorgeous & the emotions coming from them are sweet & innocent. Love the 3rd photo
"Embrace your distinctive perspective, but never narrow your mind so that it is only possible to view your own perspective." S-C
"Perspective is fuel for originality." S-C
Both very well stated!!!
If I had to pick another quote to piggyback off of this one, for me personally:
"In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity." ~ Albert Einstein
I believe that's where I am right now in this season of my life. Though things haven't gone quite as I've hoped nor imaginable for this year as a whole… STILL I always see that anything is possible, & can change at any moment. For me, I like to believe there's always a pot of gold at the end of a discoloured rainbow: you never know where & how…but there is.
Hope you're cool :O) - 10:33 AM

I love that quote you shared. I'll always keep it in mind. Oh, Im glad you're okay-- a car crash. Glad to hear you're fine.
As for perspective, yea.. I do change a lot. Everyday, I learn new things.. hear amazing stories.. and those things tend to make me look at myself and my life differently. I wouldnt really say I get influenced easily but I do take in a bit of everyone I meet (the bits I like about them most) and try to bring that into my life. This could also be the same reason why I tend to become "too attached" with people. :-) But they are muses, just as you are, and I need them to inspire me.
Still reading other posts.
You should publish a book, SC. Im serious. - 12:32 PM

Oh, I so agree with the advise you gave on blogs. It's something I try to stress--anyone can write a blog, but only I can write my blog, so what is uniquely me that I should share?
Your blog always is a delight. I'm glad your mood swung back. :) - 12:59 PM

the first picture reminds me of when i was a little girl and used to hide under my duvet. i just layed there dreaming, singing and playing.
the other pictures are lovely, but at the same time quite odd. i fell a bit of sadness when looking at them. it seems like the woman is afraid or worried of something.
your post is LOVELY as always, dear.

Lately, due to meditation lessons and some reading, I've been exercising my mind as to just perceive reality as it is, without judgements. That would imply not having any perspective at all... I haven't accomplished that yet (and I feel I am faaaar from it haha) but I am really looking forward to that clear vision of our reality... a window to the world and my feelings free of interpretations, previous ideas or mind structures...
XOXO darling! - 5:35 PM
- i.d. said...
S-C, once again you've blown me away! It is so important to maintain perspective but it often takes time - I'm amazed that you had the ability to realize so soon after your car crash that it's not the end of the world (even though it's a major bummer!).
I try to keep my glass half full by asking myself, "In 3 years' time, will this matter?" or by thinking about people I know who are less fortunate. And I try to remember that even people I envy might have preoccupations and insecurities, and perhaps even envy ME for some reason!
In terms of my perspective on fashion, well obviously I love it (sidenote in answer to your Q: I am going to study fashion design but hoping to end up working for a publication!) but I know that there are other more important issues in the world. I just think that recognizing beauty makes life a little easier and enjoyable for everyone.

- Miss Karen said...
Even though you need to fix your car (which is a real bummer) I'm glad that at least you're ok!
I think my perspective changes in spontaneous bursts where I'll just take an alternative view for the sake of it and see what happens. It's often come from that nothing to lose feeling also. But I think my more deep-rooted views will always remain the same and I don't think anyone in particular influences me, rather, everyone influences me. - 6:40 PM
- ♥ fashion chalet said...
Your topic really got me thinking, instead of thinking of the glass being half empty it's better to live one's life thinking as if the glass is truly half full.
I am so sorry to hear about your car/life savings. As long as you are OK and are safe, that is of the utmost importance!! Is everything alright?
Glad you liked my quaint Holiday wish list. I had fun choosing just a few things that popped. :)
You have purple CHUCKS? Now, THIS I MUST SEE. I love purple- everything. :)
Have a lovely Monday, darling.

Great post - perspective is so so important. To quote Fiona Apple, "He said it's all in your head, and I said 'So's everything', but he didn't get it."
No matter what happens you can always choose to see it a different way and choose to be happy and by skewing your perceptions in a happy way you create a world that isn't so bad to live in :) - 7:37 PM

Oh no! I am very sorry to hear that you have to shell out more money for your car. I know you've been saving for the NY life! I think that your view on this situation is a great start and very admirable... good things will happen if you think and BELIEVE good things will happen to you. Oh, and a little trick for money that I have is by writing the number '8' on a piece of paper and sticking it in your wallet. It can be any size, just keep it in your wallet (or whatever you carry money/cards in) at all times!! It's this numerology thing... works for me!! :)

i think you answered perfectly to lola, "make it less than mine" i believe that a good blogspot, must have a personal style, and not copied:)
but, well, we must accept that your blog is amazing, big photographies with a lot of definition, same size of pictures, etc-

- D said...
this post is as awesome as ever,i hope that you are safe and sound,i hope you have enough money to fix up your car,
and one thing that i tell people is that being pessimistic will lead you nowhere in life,im an optimistic person if i say so myself,i love life and i always look at it with an open mind,its the only way to live prosperous.
on the subject of different perspectives,i love the fact that we were all born with different minds different ideas,different ways of thinking,without that free will we would all be clones,and then life would not be fun! we all live in the same world but in a world that we all see different!
being a copier is not at all my cup of tea,its ok to have inspiration but dont take that into a full on replicated idea!
love this post once again - 11:56 PM

I love your pics as always. They are adorned with words of wisdom which is a perfect armony between fashion and feelings. Some people think fashion can be very material and frivolous but not with people like you.
And yes, I´m a open minded. I like changes to look for the best and I admire people who´s not afraid of changes although I mean to adopt + learn from differents points of views.

the advice you gave your reader is the reason why i love your blog, basically.
i'm sorry about your car but i'm glad to hear that you are not letting it get you down (and that you're all right, of course!) one of my friends got into an accident yesterday and i happened to drive by and see and stopped to help. his car is totaled :( i guess life always goes on though - 3:00 AM

I admire your swift attitude adjustment from half-empty back to half-full. It took me years of inner self-talk to get that far and actually it's still a major struggle.
Perspective and attitude certainly play a major part in growing up.

So true! And as others have done, I simply must quote S-C:
"Perspective is fuel for originality." Genius!
Right now, my personal perspective is a little skewed by my frustration at not being able to instantly get the career I think I should have . . .
But my perspective of the world and its inhabitants is much brighter since the recent election!
As for fashion, my perspective is open and accepting of all the amazing creative things being shown on the runway.
Fun Q as usual, S-C!
- The Daily Masquerade said...
you have a great blog! I think that seeing that change has to come from within myself, not the people around me has made me a lot happier. Then you are not depending on others to feel well, you have to take action youself.
- DaisyChain said...
Another amazing post m'dear.
On a personal level, changing me perspective on myself has changed my life, for the better.
I used to spend all day every day picking out flaws and wallowing in self-loating,
and now,
I try and focus on one small thing I like,
and ignore the rest. I try to see each day for it's positives rather than it's negatives.
Without going in to more details,
I feel like I'm actually LIVING now.

Sorry that you got in a car accident, but I'm glad you're alright!
This is such an inspiring post, and the pictures too.
I think perspective and the outlook of life is extremely important. I know many pessimisstic people who not only are hard on themselves, but they also are very rude and disrespectful to others. It really saddens me when I see people like this, especially when they make no effort to change their perspective of life - all the do is self-pity and use it as an excuse for their behavior.
Changing my perspective has definitely changed the way I see things in life. Over the years I have learned to walk around in one's skin before judging them, and it has helped me become a better and more optimistic person by trying to look for the good in everyone. Seeing like this also helps me understand people better, and also how they see life.
As for my perspective on fashion, I have a great respect for it, and I see it something always changing, evolving, and moving - fashion and trends simply never stay the same for very long! I try not to follow trends too much - I do like to read up on the latest ins & outs, but I mainly use the trends to shape my style, not command it - style is something I take very personally and only I decide it, not other people.
Well, I'd better stop, this comment is getting way too long! It was fun sharing my thoughts on this matter; again, great great post!

Hi darling!
First off...I'm so sorry to hear about your car :( You must be going through such a difficult time right now, I can just feel it, but the best part is that we grow spiritually when faced with challenges and hardships. So guess what? Right now, your if you make the right choices to react appropriately to the situations that are happening in your life then your awarness will expand, which will lead you to a better, happier life. - 3:03 AM

- Cate said...
Oh no! A car crash! I hope there were no people injured! I admire you for your strong view and that you don't let things get you down. You have the right attitude.
About the question about how to make one's blog more like yours, Kate Moss once said: 'If you want to be like Kate Moss, be yourself.'
The new direction of your personal style sounds interesting. I think you mentioned it in the comment on my last post, with the all black outfit!
I don't really notice whether I'm changing my perspective or not. It's not as if I say to myself: "Now I change my perspective!" but it comes more with life, with experiences, so slowly that I hardly notice it. I think everything around me has contributed to make my perspective the perspective it is.
My perspective on fashion is very open - I'm open to lots of different styles! And I'm always curious and I also always try to be strong and optimistic like you!
Thanks for the comment on my handwriting!!

i'm sorry about your car.
and i can't change my perspective. i've tired to, or i've tired to see things as other people do, but my mind always goes back to it's original perspective.
and my perception on fashion right now, is that fashion is trying to be all these things, instead of just trying to move forward. designers are bring back old trends and trying to re-invent them. designers should just get a blank sheet of paper and draw whatever comes to mind. they act as though all their originality is dead. - 3:46 PM

An impeccably dressed middle aged woman changed my perspective of the world when she sat next to me at a bus stop and told me her tale of her spiral into homelessness. It all began when she was the victim of a violent home invasion, leaving her afraid of her own home and at the mercy of paralysing panic attacks. Her support network crumbled, and before she knew it she was unemployed, homeless and alone. This short conversation changed my whole perspective on the treatment of those less fortunate than myself, and although I volunteer at my local soup kitchen, I look forward to the day when I can do more...
- Miranda said...
i think one of the most important things to do is to put things into perspective. like realizing how lucky you are compared to others. but i think that you really need something to HAPPEN for you to really completely change your perspective you know?

- Mila said...
Hi gorgeous!
Such a beautiful post again sweetheart!
You are a deep thinker, as am i. Sometimes i can't stand the thinker in me, but by reading your posts, it makes me appreciate that thinker more in some strange way.
Recently i started reading the Bible (i don't know if i've already told you that). I can tell you, being even openminded about anything religious is a totally new perpective to me. I've always been kind of an atheist (i don't know why really) and lately i feel like something in me 'needs' religion. I can't say the Bible totally overwhelmed me with it's beauty or with it's 'wiseness', but i can say it does make me calmer when i'm rading. Like i am doing something that's good for me. I can't explain it too well.
I hope you understand what i mean.
About fashion. I really don't know why this is, but i am getting less and less interested in fashion and everything fashion related. I've always been interested in fashion a lot and i really loved it, but it's like other things in my life (tough things that i can hardly handle) are taking over this interest. (My mother even told me she started to get worried, because she can see i don't care that much anymore about the way i look.. haha)
Dear, i love you for being you. You're so special.
Stay you.

Perspective does affect a lot,it affects how we deal with trials and the downs that come our way.i'm alwayy saying "Marian it could have been worse" and hat "once theres life there is hope" so although i can be awfully pessimistic those statements always help me put things into perspective.
darling so sorry about the car again.

Whats that quote about life being " not what happens to us but how we see it"... or words to that effect.
I think having an open, fluid, perspective in both mind and heart is crucial for health and happiness. One has to stay true to ones self and have integrity but you also have to be open to change.

You have a wonderful way with words. One that is evocative, emotionally and (sometimes) furtratingly engaging lol. I'm sorry to hear of your car and this newly realised optimistic view of the situation is the most postive way you can think of it.
Every single day i find myself changing my perspective on atleast one aspect of the environment, people, personal opinions and life as a whole and i would say about 95% of changes are self realised rather than influenced by others.
What i wanted to say though when i passed on your page is that i missed you aswell as give you a very big KIA ORA :)

To start the campaign is awesome very well thought out and put together with some of the best characters, the game really immerses you.The island itself is huge with outstanding graphics and so much to do such as side quests and ability to go anywhere. Full weapons customization along with over 40 weapons alone. Game is also very user friendly.Have to also add that with the size of the map and how they have managed to have zero bugs or glitches (I have came across none), yet skyrim or oblivion for example which was riddled with so many bugs, crashes and glitches.

We've heard legend tell of the power subsisting within the great warrior. An unparalleled spirit and unprecedented knowledge for the fantastical lore. But we had yet to see these fables take earthly form. "How could they be true?" we wondered. "How could any a man, even a man so mystically blessed as he, embody this class of heroism?" Those among us not wont to preserve our good faiths would soon turn a sheepish eye, for that very figure — that doubted knight so noble and earnest — would soon prove himself far mightier than we in a fortnight could ever have dreamt. For, on Monday night's episode of The Colbert Report, one Stephen Colbert kicked off his week-long celebration of The Hobbit, launching full force into the nerdiness he must ache to suppress throughout the rest of the year. Seriously, dude loves his Tolkien like you wouldn't believe.
The program opened with a Hobbit-inspired take on the Report theme song, followed by a quick greeting in the tongue of Elvish, and Stephen's giddy citation of trilogy director Peter Jackson's calling him the biggest Tolkien nerd in the world. The segment to follow Stephen's introduction focused on the question many of us had hoped would earn its answer on this inception of the Comedy Central series' celebration of the forthcoming fantasy feature: will Stephen Colbert have a role in The Hobbit, as it has been so wickedly rumored? Colbert neither confirmed nor denied, though he did have a lot of fun mocking the ascension of the rumors from the innocent mention of him stopping by set to the declaration of him as the star of Jackson's series, across a none too wide range of periodicals. Still, it seems like we will be seeing Stephen set foot in Middle Earth. If he was suggesting anything with the wielding of a Tolkien sword he had hidden behind his desk, it's that The Hobbit trilogy will have a place for him.
Following a few non-Hobbitual segments, The Colbert Report featured the highlight of the night: Stephen's interview with Gandalf himself, Sir Ian McKellen. The pair matched wits pretty evently about McKellen's wizard character (the actor favors Gandalf the Gray to Gandalf the White, reveling in the former's sense of humor and proclivity for inhalants), and politics (Stephen "took issue" with the homosexual McKellen's career as an exemplification of a gay man coming across as a heroic figure), but Stephen claimed victory when it came time for Tolkien trivia, rattling off vocabulary words like Lórien and Nenya without straining his brow while McKellen looked on in humored amazement. But McKellen got the biggest cheer, naturally, when he broke the barriers of the conversation to answer an important question: "Gandalf is more powerful than Magneto," McKellen declared definitively, adding that the wizard would trounce his X-Men villain "every time." Justice prevails.
Stay tuned to The Colbert Report throughout the week for more Hobbit interviews, trivia, and all-out geekiness.

US spying successes, failures, objectives detailed in top secret 'black budget'
WASHINGTON — U.S. spy agencies have built an intelligence-gathering colossus since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, but remain unable to provide critical information to the president on a range of national security threats, according to the government's top secret budget.
The $52.6 billion "black budget" for fiscal 2013, obtained by The Washington Post from former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, maps a bureaucratic and operational landscape that has never been subject to public scrutiny. Although the government has annually released its overall level of intelligence spending since 2007, it has not divulged how it uses those funds or how it performs against the goals set by the president and Congress.
The 178-page budget summary for the National Intelligence Program details the successes, failures and objectives of the 16 spy agencies that make up the U.S. intelligence community, which has 107,035 employees.
The summary describes cutting-edge technologies, agent recruiting and ongoing operations. The Washington Post is withholding some information after consultation with U.S. officials who expressed concerns about the risk to intelligence sources and methods. Sensitive details are so pervasive in the documents that The Post is publishing only summary tables and charts online.
"The United States has made a considerable investment in the Intelligence Community since the terror attacks of 9/11, a time which includes wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Arab Spring, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction technology, and asymmetric threats in such areas as cyber-warfare," Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said in response to inquiries from The Post.
"Our budgets are classified as they could provide insight for foreign intelligence services to discern our top national priorities, capabilities and sources and methods that allow us to obtain information to counter threats," he said.

December 14, 2009 – For Immediate Release
ELKHART, Indiana – Taking advantage of the power of Crown's I-Tech HD series amplifiers and flexibility of the Studer Vista 5SR console, California-based Sound Image deployed 80 I-Tech HD amplifiers and a Studer Vista 5SR for use on country music star Taylor Swift's tour throughout North America.
The 2009 tour, which included 52 concerts, sold out within minutes, prompting a second leg of the tour to be added for 2010. Sound Image's FOH engineer on the Taylor Swift tour, Russell Fischer, stated, "The goal was to bring Taylor Swift's brand of country pop music to life, and to get the show's energy and feeling across to an already excited crowd."
According to Fischer, Sound Image chose the Vista 5SR for its audio quality and versatile control surface. "The audio quality is the most obvious advantage over other digital consoles," stated Fischer. "Being able to do six different things on different channels and input data all at once is a huge advantage when you are mixing live. The main challenge throughout the tour was covering the audience evenly around to 240 degrees, along with keeping track of close to 70 inputs.
"I've worked with the Studer Vista 5 before. We had it since the summer and I loved it from the first sound check. It's been the most reliable digital console I've used and I've found it to be a very easy platform overall," Fischer adds
For Fischer, this was his first experience with Crown's I-Tech HD amplifiers. "I've been using Crown since the DC series. Lately, I've been using the original I-Tech amplifiers, but for this tour we went with the HD series. They have been reliable and improved the sonic quality of the speaker system; overall they've performed great.
Additionally, Fischer also felt they benefited from being able to deploy Harman HiQnet System Architect™. "In the end we benefited by deciding to go with the I-Tech HD amplifiers because we ended up with better audio and we had more control of the amps using System Architect."
Crown is a unit of Harman International Industries, Incorporated (www.harman.com). Harman International designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of audio and infotainment products for the automotive, consumer and professional markets, and maintains a strong presence in the Americas, Europe and Asia, employing more than 11,000 people worldwide. The Harman International family of brands includes AKG®, Audioaccess®, Becker®, BSS®, Crown®, dbx®, DigiTech®, Harman Kardon®, Infinity®, JBL®, Lexicon®, Mark Levinson®, Revel®, QNX®, Soundcraft® and Studer®. Harman International's stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "NYSE: HAR."
Harman HiQnet™ is the world's first connectivity and control protocol that integrates all product categories in the signal chain for professional audio systems of all types, size, and applications. Harman HiQnet no longer requires the user to manage multiple disparate operating systems or be responsible for programming individual signal processors, speaker controllers, wireless microphone systems, and mixing consoles. HiQnet was developed by engineers from across the Harman Pro Group and is coordinated by the System Development and Integration Group (SDIG), a team of dedicated systems specialists based in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Customer Reviews for Hard-to-Reach Home Theater 3/8" Pleat Single Cell
"Best blind purchase yet"
By Blackout BlindsFan from Portland
These blinds are amazing for blocking out light. Easy to install. Depending on window framing you will have to install small amounts of weather striping to get the last tiny bits of light blocked out (Small amount included). The bottom of my window was not level and had a slight light streak I purchased some weather stripping and when blind is closed no light (Attached it to bottom of blind). If you need to block out light in your room for sleeping or home theater take a look at these. They are amazing at blocking light. I plan to purchase them again soon to start blocking more light out of my theater room.

The college News / VOL. XL, NO. 17 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1944 Copyright, Trustees of Bryn MawrCoileir. 1S44 PRICE 10 CENTS Green and Malraux, "Younger Generation' Treated by M. Peyre � Iroodhart, February 28: Entering what he described as "a notorious- ly dangerous field," M. Henri Peyre discussed the modern novel and especially those modern nov- elists whom he classes as "the younger generation," represented by Julian Green and Malraux. M. Peyre attributes three im- portant,characteristics to the mod- ern novel�decadence, confusion, and a bewildering incomprehensi- bility. Literature has been so oc- cupied with a search for novelty that it has lost many of the char- acteristics which qualified the nov- el as a form of art, and it is now decadent. Furthermore, there has been a large output of works of the novel genre, without any "pre- dominant current" uniting them. The bewildering incomprehensibil- ity of these works is commonly at- tributed to the fact that we are watching the "emergency of a new period," we are "living in a revolu- tion." However, M. Peyre saw no rea- son why the "revolution" should prevent the contemporary age from becoming a great period in the development of the novel. The chief deterrents to greatness in the contemporary novel are two: the great variety and inflexibility of the novel as a literary genre, and the impossibility of achieving perfection in the novel. M. Peyre believes that it is the Continued on Pigi * IRC Meeting Surveys Near East Problems Haverford, February 23: "The Near East" was the subject under discussion at the fifth joint meet- ing of the Haverford, Rosemont, and Bryn Mawr International Re- lations Clubs. A question period followed the short speeches pre- sented by Walter Seligsohn of Haverford, James Merriman of the German ASPT, and Joy Fowle of the Haverford Relief and Recon- struction Unit. Palestine is a crucial area, Wal- ter Seligsohn said, not only be- cause it lies close to Suez, but be- cause settlement of its racial prob- lems may well indicate how the United Nations will deal with min- ority questions the world over. Tracing Palestine's history under Syrian, Greek, and Roman domin- ation, Walter Seligsohn dwelt par- ticularly on the period since 1918, during which the question of a home in Palestine for the Jewish people has become increasingly important. Rivalry between the Latin and Greek Catholic Churches, as well as power of the Arab sword, fos- tered a spread- of the Mohammedan religion. Mohammedan ethics, ac- cording to James Merriman, are in- ferior to those of other peoples. The Arab order was "despotic at home, and aggressive abroad; what's good is imported, and what's typical is imperfect." Modern Turkey was the subject of a few extemporaneous remarks by Joy Fowle of the Relief and Re- construction Unit. After the war with Greece in the early twenties, Turkish diplomats were extreme- ly clever and won from the League great concessions. Though minor- ities were at first ruthlessly sup- pressed, the Turkish Parliament has recently become more active, and the democratic, liberal ele- ments have come to the fore. Juniors Offer Wasserman, Gifford, Fitzgibbons, Malik for Alliance Head LYDIA GIFFORD HAKJI MALIK Political Awareness Declared important Duty of Office Of President The Junior Class has nominated Marie Wasserman, Lydia Gifford, Harji Malik, and Ann Fitzgibbons as candidates for president of the War Alliance. The president of the Alliance must coordinate sub-committees, preside at the Alliance Executive Board meetings, and is automati- cally a member of the Undergrad- uate Council and the College Council. As the purpose of the Alliance is to initiate and coordin- ate War Activity on the campus, its president should be alive to current political problems. MARIE WASSERMAN - Marie is the Alliance represen- tative for Pembroke and in charge of Current Events for the Alliance. She is on the National Executive Committee of the U. S. Student Assembly. A former member of the International Re- lations Club, Marie served as a delegate to the Princeton Confer- ence in 1942 and to the Johns- Hopkins Conference in 1943. Last spring she was also a delegate to the International Student Serv- ice. She is a member of the Spanish Club, and during her Freshman year she was on the Editorial Staff of the News. LYDIA GIFFORD Lydia is Chairman of War Al- liance Volunteer Drives, and last year she was Secretary-Treasurer of the Alliance. She is Secretary- General of the Intercollegiate Model League Assembly.

They are now fighting for their freedom and for the great principles of democracy . . . Tomorrow . . . they will lead the way in translating those principles into actual condi- tions", declared M. Robert Valeur, chairman of the United Nations' Information Office in New York, in a War Assembly talk on French Resistance and the Democratic Idea.

Questioned on her policy for the coming year, Ginny declared her firm belief in the present fundamental concepts and princi- ples of Self-Government. Her main ambition, she said, is "that of every member of Self-Govern- ment: work for changes that will be satisfactory to all." Ginny's opinion about life in general is expressed in the words "everybody should keep a sense of proportion." Her personal ambi- tion is to marry and have ten children�nine boys and a girl. Kittens, exclamation points, waltz- es, and Laurence Olivier figure among her "secret passions". In three years Ginny has lived in Rhoads, Pembroke West and Radnor.

He was chairman of the board for hotel industry, and of the committee on jewelry, as well as a member of the committees for the rubber industry and for the passenger and property motor carrier industries. He has fre- quently acted as arbitrator of la- bor disputes. Campus Upholds Old Constitution At Mass Meeting Kreiselman, Hersey, Franklin Lay Stress on Principle In New Plan Goodhart, February 23: At a mass meeting of the Self-Govern- ment Association on Thursday night, opinion showed itself in fa- vor of keeping the present consti- tution rather than adopting a new one. Voting, which took place in the halls after the meeting, retail- ed the old constitution by a mar- gin of 346 to 98. The meeting was called to con- sider three proposals: a suggestion for a new constitution, a petition for a vote on extending the smok- ing privileges, and a petition for a mass meeting concerning smoking privileges. The vote on smoking privileges was postponed to a later date, although there was some dis- cussion of the subject. New Constitution Mariam Kreiselman, speaking for the new constitution, pointed out that the present one has no causal relation to the student aa an individual, "no underlying prin- ciple." It upholds government by the students, but does not say how this should be done. Furthermore, it deals with the moral issue of compulsion and restricts freedom of choice.

MEETING OF THE LEGISLATIVE AUDITING STANDING COMMITTEE HELD OCTOBER 26, 1965 AT 2 P.M. IN THE STATE CAPITOL Committee Members Present: Senator Mantes, Chairman Senator W, Hughes Brockbank Rep, Ross H" Plant Mr o S, Burtell Bunker, Consultant Committee Members Excused: Rep, M, James Macfarlane Invited Guests', Mr. Herbert F, Smart, Director, Department of Finance Mr, Mo Fred 01ivers CPA Consultant to the Department of Finance Mr, Kenneth Hansen, Assistant Director, Department of Finance Senator Mantes thanked those at the meeting for attending and explained that the officials from the Department of Finance had been asked to meet with the committee and discuss the progress of the budget examination program, the project to consolidate the various funds as provided by the consolidation act, the development of implementing a modified accrual basis into our accounting procedures. Director Herbert Smart explained to the committee that he had engaged Mr. M, Fred Oliver, partner of the national firm of Haskins and Sells, known to be knowledgeable in matters of government and government accounting. He explained that he has had Mr. Oliver working with him; that the program to consolidate funds is moving ahead and, in addition, he has asked Mr, Oliver to analyze the imprest cash problem which has been called to the attention of this committee before. Mr. Smart explained that his department had made tentative plans to adopt a procedure whereby the imprest cash would be greatly reduced by a direct draft procedure. After moving into this proposal, several problems became manifest and it was determined that no action be made at this time on the imprest cash until Mr, Oliver has had an opportunity to make a thorough study. The problem which presented itself was the matter of federal funds which is handled by the institutions and which restricts the imprest cash to an extent and the matter of their bond issues on dormitories and stadiums and other facilities and it was apparant to him that there is a divided responsibility in this area and that a careful study must be made first, Mr, Smart reported on the funds consolidation program. He reported that Mr, Oliver would give the details concerning the funds consolidation program. Mr. Smart explained that they are coordinating their efforts with the Little Hoover Commission in order that what they develop will not be out of step with the recommendations of the Hoover Commission. Mr. Smart then explained that in the budget examination program of his Department that he has endeavored to continue the program without expansion. He feels that an adequate budget examination program will require more examiners and that the Department will need further legal authority and clarification from the Legislature, particularly, in the planning phases.

JR wrote:The Blues will get two of their top players back when defenseman Barret Jackman and left winger Andy McDonald return to the lineup today against Atlanta.
Jackman has missed 11 games with a high-ankle sprain. McDonald missed two games after his collision with the boards against Florida.
With Jackman playing, Darryl Sydor will sit out, and with McDonald in the lineup, Keith Tkachuk will have the day off. The Blues are calling it a "maintenance day" for Sydor and Tkachuk, who are the two oldest players on the team at age 37.
Defenseman Roman Polak is OK after flying over goaltender Chris Mason and into the back of the net last night. He will be back in the lineup today.
Here are the defensive pairings with Jackman back:
Barret Jackman-Erik Johnson
Eric Brewer-Alex Pietrangelo
Mike Weaver-Roman Polak
I don't have the forward combinations for today, but Lars Eller will be in the lineup. Lars was brought up under emergency conditions when McDonald went down. But the Blues have room on their roster, so it's just a matter of taking away Eller's "emergency" designation and making him a regular call up.
The coaching staff believes that Eller has played well, and there are no immediate plans to send him back to Peoria.
Blues backup Ty Conklin will be in net today against Atlanta. These are the last back-to-back games for the Blues until Nov. 27-28. So if the Blues can get Conklin a start today, they should be able to count on Mason for at least the next six or seven starts.
With Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss at Philadelphia, here's the Blues' record under Murray in OT and in shootouts since taking over in December 2006:
Overall: 20-34
Overtime: 9-17
Shootout: 11-17
2006-07: 4-3 OT, 3-5 shootout
2007-08: 1-8 OT, 3-5 shootout
2008-09: 4-4 OT, 6-6 shootout
2009-10: 0-2 in OT, 0-1 shootout

Lars Eller gets banned from the NHL for losing his cool and attacking Kovalchuk with his stick. The Blues have to surrender 6 first round draft picks and Erik Johnson to the New Jersey Devils because they were considering signing Kovalchuk in the offseason.

NH teacher of the year a national finalist
Thursday, January 17, 2013
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � New Hampshire's Teacher of the Year is one of four finalists for the 2013 National Teacher of the Year. Heidi Welch, a music teacher at Hillsboro-Deering High School, will learn in April whether she has been selected for the national honor. The other finalists are from Maryland, Washington and Florida. Welch and the other finalists were chosen on the basis of eight essays they had to write and letters of endorsement. Each will be interviewed individually by the National Selection Committee. Gov. Maggie Hasssan said that, no matter what the outcome, Welch has made New Hampshire very proud. New Hampshire officials said Welch's selection as state teacher of the year was based on her passion for education and her ability to connect with students. |

Jun 22, 2012Brave is a simple story, but told with such depth and magic it is hard not to love this movie. It isn't the studios best but it sure is great. Wonderfully voice acted by Kelly McDonald and the rest of the cast. And it is expertly and beautifully animated with wonderful detail. It is funny, emotionally resonant, and altogether beautiful. I give this movie 95%.
Jul 4, 2012Although with its uneven pacing and really, really terrible jokes, Pixar is still deliver its best. I found Brave is pure, heart-warming and beautiful. I can't stand to mother-daughter drama, I even cry when the battle scene. One of the best releases so far.

Jun 22, 2012Pixar has made another great animated film! Pixar has come back after their worst reviewed movie, Cars 2. Even though it isn't flawless like Ratatouille and The Incredibles, it still delivers a very comedic and action packed movie. Pixar has definitely made a comeback.
Jun 22, 2012Great movie. Yes, it does not break new ground for the most part, following traditional disney fare. But as a father of a five year old girl, I cringe every time my daughter wants to to see The Little Mermaid, or Beauty and the Beast. Brave has a strong female lead, good story, stunning visuals, and breathtaking score.
Jun 22, 2012i think brave have a place with a pixars movies like the incredibles and monsters inc because of the story of brave is not brilliant like up and wall e but he is exciting and funny enough to be a pixar movie :)

Jun 22, 2012Love Love Love this movie! this movie is Completely a pixar movie! Amazing story not one of the BRILLIANT pixars movie נוא Delivers the good of the summer and the pixars movie
Jun 27, 2012Better than Cars 2 and Cars. The movie's special effects are new to Pixar but great nonetheless. A fantastic introduction to Future Female Pixar heroines.

Sep 6, 2012Disney and Pixar do not deny ever and lead us in our cinemas Brave. Meanwhile, the film manages to give us a vision of the crazy Scottish landscapes with stunning graphics and tells a simple story but what about the family and its importance and how important is the dialogue between different generations.
Jun 29, 2012
Jan 26, 2013Pixar has done it again. This movie is simply magical, and great for families. It's beautifully animated, has excellent voice acting, and a heart-warming story. I have to admit after watching Cars 2 I was a little worried that this movie might flop, but Pixar has once again struck gold.

Jul 2, 2012BRAVE is an amazing, emotional and funny movie!!! I really loved it! It is the best animated film i have seen all year!! What i love most about this movie is that even if Merida is a princess, she is not a classic one. AMAZING MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jun 25, 2012Pixar has really outdone itself on this one. Brave is a fantastically animated picture, with something for pretty much anyone! It's not going to be a surprise that Pixar's got another big success on their hands. The story is fantastic, the humor is solid, and the characters are believable and loveable. Overall the film is a jolly good, arrow-launching 9.5/10.

Jul 11, 2012i loved brave it was so good and i cant believe 13 people gave it a 3 or less because i thought it was heart warming but at the same time sharing a lesson about how you have to be careful of what you wish for
Jun 25, 2012I honestly don't understand all the so so reviews. This was a great movie. Fast paced, emotionally stirring; this movie was very good. It may not be as good as WALLE or UP but it was one of the better Pixar films.
Dec 16, 2012"Brave" has all the ingredients of a Pixar movie and like all the others it is a completely masterpiece. The problem is that people can't see a Pixar movie without thinking on Up, Wall-E, Ratatouille, etc. Let's see the film, enjoy it and think that it's a new and different adventure. Maybe it is not has good as the most recent Pixar movies, but it still being a marvelous and well-done movie.
Aug 2, 2013
Jun 20, 2014Loved the characters and the world. The story is familiar (Little Mermaid/Brother Bear) yet heart warming. One of my favorite Pixar films and Merida's my favorite Disney princess.
Feb 12, 2013
Aug 14, 2013A charming and beautiful story about the mother-daughter relationship. This animation packs laughs, tears and joy. Something about watching animals with human-like behaviour that really gets me. The characters were quite unique and very well-written. The animation was stunning, even in 2D, which was what I saw. For me, the story itself won the show.
Apr 22, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Aug 18, 2014
No less lovely than former films, in many ways lovelier, but Brave is boutique Pixar: less ambitious, more succinct, excellence at a lower ebb.
Jun 25, 2012For the animation studio's debut foray into fairytale, Pixar has delivered a rousing family melodrama.
My heart belongs to Bear Elinor, whose movements and mannerisms are a tender echo of Human Elinor's – her character is designed and drawn just that carefully.

This lab test measures the types of protein in the fluid (serum) part of a blood sample.
Other electrophoresis tests that measure proteins in the serum include:
Lipoprotein electrophoresis
A blood sample is needed.
At the lab, the technician places the blood sample on special paper and applies an electric current. The proteins move on the paper and form bands that show the amount of each protein.
You may be asked not to eat or drink (fast) for 12 hours before the test.
Certain medicines may affect the results of this test. Your doctor will tell you if you need to stop taking any medicines. Do not stop any medicine before talking to your doctor.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
Proteins are made from amino acids and are important parts of all cells and tissues. There are many different kinds of proteins in the body with many different functions. Examples of proteins include enzymes, certain hormones, hemoglobin , low-density lipoprotein ("bad" cholesterol), and others.
Serum proteins are classified as albumin or globulins. Albumin is the protein of highest concentration in the serum. It carries many small molecules. It is also important for keeping fluid from leaking out from the blood vessels into the tissues.
Globulins are divided into alpha-1, alpha-2, beta, and gamma globulins. In general, alpha and gamma globulin protein levels increase when there is inflammation in the body.
Lipoprotein electrophoresis determines the amount of proteins made up of protein and fat, called lipoproteins (such as LDL cholesterol).
Normal value ranges are:
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific results.
Decreased total protein may indicate:
Increased alpha-1 globulin proteins may be due to:
Decreased alpha-1 globulin proteins may be a sign of:

Ardèche Abricot 370g
Formaggio Kitchen Exclusive
Country of Origin: France
Region: Rhône-Alpes
City / Village: St. Sylvestre
These are small-batch handmade preserves made by Sylvie and Pascal Raunicher at La Ferme de Mazairas in the small town of St. Sylvestre in the region of Ardèche. Their tiny farm specializes in organic fruit, using unusual varieties with tons of fresh flavor. Their jams have less sugar and less pectin than other jams and as a result their texture is more suited to being scooped with a spoon than spread with a knife.
Their apricot preserve is a deep, almost amber color resulting from the ripeness of the fruit and the careful slow cooking to bring out the most intense apricot flavor we have found.

Complex design challenges characterized by shrinking geometry, functionality within both the hardware and software domains, and strict requirements for performance and power efficiency driven by the designated application, are changing how systems are being designed.
In the consumer markets, user's experience is a key for product success. It is determined by the performance of the combined hardware and software application. To achieve an optimal architecture and allow design scalability, design engineers must maintain visibility over the power and performance requirements ahead of production when the greatest impact on design implementation is still possible.
Featured Resources
Challenges & Features
Key Challenges
- Define optimal macro and micro Architecture
- Perform analysis for implementation architectural tradeoffs
- Understand the impact of key design attributes on design timing and performance goals
- Allows for hardware vs. software implementation tradeoffs
- Analyze performance while running software
Features & Benefits
- Set of configurable TLM 2.0-based architecture blocks
- Intuitive graphical platform assembly tool
- Tracing of data packets, model states and design attributes
- Advanced analysis and visualization
- Hardware / software tradeoff analysis
- Early assessment of timing and power
Architecture Design
Architecture design is the task carried by the system architects and SoC designers who need to architect, integrate and optimize complex systems meeting power and performance requirements.
During the platform definition process, macro-architecture and micro-architecture decisions need to be made such as HW/SW tradeoffs, processors selection, interconnect and memory hierarchies, fabric infrastructures, and caching strategies.
When designing complex interconnect fabrics (such as storage and networking), architecture exploration is usually done ahead of the functional design phase by using statistical non-functional models and traffic generators that simulate various data distributions and loads. Alternately, in SoC and embedded applications, performance can be explored along with functional validation and software execution. It is critical to be able to balance power and performance in conjunction with hardware and software functionality, and then trade hardware vs. software implementations in a methodical and predictable way.
Architecture Exploration
Architecture exploration may require numerous iterations and therefore is not practical using a RTL platform. Arguably, most RTL implementation details are redundant at the design architectural exploration stage, but there is a need to have some visibility of the timing and power characteristics for a meaningful assessment and analysis to occur.
A transaction level reference platform is ideal to serve such requirements and enables an efficient exploration process. It allows fast exploration for quantifying the performance and power before actual implementation. It facilitates quick simulation and analysis iterations around various architectural options as well as software execution.
The TLM platform is an ideal exploration vehicle for system architects as it provides a natural path to the hardware and software downstream design flows. Given the time and money at stake, the transaction level platform delivers risk reduction and a more predictive design flow that are now vital for companies that demand reliability, cost effectiveness and design scalability.
