"Life After Media" at the Thoma Foundation
Thoma Foundation
Chicago, IL
An exhibition of contemporary digital artworks from the Foundation's collection, which reveals what happens to obsolete, aging or antiquated communications technologies after artists resuscitate them. The artworks propose that creative interventions in mass media such as the internet, film, television and music recordings can emulate the power structures of mass-media communications, but also their ephemerality.

Script-writer and script and story editor.
Liz Doran's earliest scripts were for inner-city adult drama The Secret Life of Us, for which she wrote several episodes between 2002 and 2005; during this same period, she worked on the four-part anthology series Love Bytes (2004), which explored dating in the digital age, and short-lived supernatural drama The Alice (2005).
In 2006, she contributed scripts to British teen drama Sugar Rush, but her subsequent work has all been on Australian television dramas: McLeod's Daughters (2008), Carla Cametti PD (2009), Rescue Special Ops (2009), and Dance Academy (2010-2012).
Her most recent scripts have been for Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012).
Doran has also worked as a story editor (on Dance Academy), script consultant (on 2003 crime drama Gettin' Square, written by Chris Nyst and directed by Jonathan Teplitzky), and script editor (on 2008 crime drama The Square, written by Joel Edgerton and Matthew Dabner, and directed by Nash Edgerton).
'Six teenagers, all elite within their own field, have come to live at Arcadia House to pursue their dreams. For some it's the opportunity of a lifetime. For others it's a last chance. All are strangers, some a long way from home, and the last thing they expect to find is family. Far from home, they must find a path through the new challenges and adventures that the big city offers while dealing with all the trials of growing up.' (Source: ABC3 website)

Jehovah's Witnesses Put Yet Another Building on the Market in Brooklyn Heights
The same week developers Jared Kushner, Aby Rosen and LIVWRK announced they had a handshake deal to buy a pair of properties from the Jehovah's Witnesses for $700 million, the Brooklyn-based religious organization put another of their prime Brooklyn Heights buildings on the market: 107 Columbia Heights.
The 154,000-square-foot residential building was constructed in 1959 as housing for volunteers working at the Witnesses headquarters just down the street, and was extensively renovated in 2007. In case you didn't know, this is one of four structures connected by the group's private underground tunnels.
Tucker Reed, president of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, predicted this nine-story property will likely sell for more than $1,000 per square foot, according to the Commercial Observer. A recent report from PropertyShark found the neighborhood's median price per square foot to be $1,201. Doing the math, that comes to a building worth anywhere from $154 million to nearly $185 million.
A few factors to keep in mind: The building is in a landmark district and classified as a dormitory. It also greatly exceeds its allowable FAR, so is unlikely to be torn down. A developer might be interested in converting it into luxury condos, rentals or a hotel.
At one point, the Jehovah's Witnesses owned more than two dozen prime properties in Brooklyn Heights, but they've slowly been selling off their holdings in advance of moving their operations upstate to Warwick, N.Y.

This is a sponsored post brought to you by Tatu Digital Media. Any opinions expressed are my own.
Safeway is my favorite store to shop at for savings and convenience. They have a Just4U app where you can manage to get additional savings each week with your Safeway club card. They also post up freebie offers every Wednesday when new coupons are added. That doesn't necessarily mean you'll get FREE offers each time, but it's always a good idea to check since they have expiration dates. There's also a promotion running this week from Aug 16-19 where you can save money when buying certain gift cards at Safeway. I plan on getting the Fandango one so I can see the new block buster movies that have recently been released and the ones that are coming up in the future. Ahem, TMNT or Guardians of the Galaxy anyone?
Currently, you'll be able to save over $20 by buying gift cards before you shop, dine or hit the town. You savvy shoppers can triple dip on savings this week when you purchase multi-pack gift cards.
Here's How It Works
1. Promotional Offer – 15% off gift card multi-packs from 8/16 through 8/19 (offer valid on Fandango, TGIF, Xbox, Cold Stone or iHOP)
2. Fuel Rewards – Safeway offers double-fuel points for every dollar you spend on gift cards redeemable at Safeway, Chevron, or Texaco stations ($1 = 2 fuel points). Requires Club Card. To find out more about Safeway's fuel rewards program click here.
3. Earn credit card rewards points /savings on your purchase (e.g. 3% back on groceries, miles, or earn points)
Here's how the MATH works on a $100 participating multi-pack purchase = $20+ Savings
1. $15 off – when you purchase $100 in multi-pack cards
2. $3 off when you fill up your tank. (avg. $.17 off per gallon).
3. $2.55 off if you earn 3% back on your credit card grocery

Unanswered: Combination Combo Box
Apparently, there was a problem with the first post.
What I need is a combo box that is a combination of
"I want the combo box to look up values in a table or query"
"I will type in the values that I want"
For example, the combo box called "Pick a color" should get its values from the table PLUS contain "No Color" and "Fuchsia", just in case the first person who wants to use this color doesn't know how to spell it. Just a dumb example.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!

Shouldn't need to.
Just add those extra values to the table.
Or you could go into the query that retrives the values for the combo-box and manipulate it to include extra values. Using a UNION or something.
AndrewThere have been many posts made throughout the world.
This was one of them.

Developer Funds Interests Coming and Going
Irving Moskowitz, the Florida businessman and champion of right-wing causes in Israel, is also a big donor for the incoming Republican chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Laura Rozen in Politico reported Monday that Moskowitz and his wife donated in this past election cycle $9,600 to Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who this week assumed the chairmanship of the House committee that oversees foreign policy.
The Personal IS Political
Republicans are all ready to assume their leadership roles as Congress convenes on Wednesday, but one Republican House staffer is probably less then thrilled with the amount of attention he is getting.
Aharon Friedman, a 34-year-old tax expert on the Republican side of the House Ways and Means Committee, is in the midst of an ugly divorce that has led to protests outside his suburban Washington home and to requests that his bosses in Congress call him to order.
Old Texts and Modern Politics
The Tea Party and the Talmud … do those things really belong in the same sentence?
At a recent seminar sponsored by the Institute of American and Talmudic Law — a Manhattan provider of continuing legal education courses for lawyers — two Jewish scholars explored the Tea Party movement, the law, and the principles that guide both. George Washington University law professor Jeffrey Rosen and Rabbi Shlomo Yaffe, dean of the Institute, discussed the libertarian-conservative movement's relationship to the U.S. Constitution, as well as the movement's moral principles in relation to Talmudic law.
Of Helmets and Yarmulkes
Former U.S. Rep. Stephen J. Solarz died one month ago, succumbing to esophageal cancer on November 29 at age 70. A graduate of Brandeis and Columbia, Solarz, a Democrat who represented constituents from Staten Island as well as his native Brooklyn, had an eventful career in politics. It spanned over two decades, beginning in 1969 with his days in the New York State Assembly and ending in 1993 in the House of Representatives. (He was succeeded by Republican Susan Molinari; Michael Grimm of the GOP will represent the 13th District as of January.) In particular he was considered by colleagues to be a foreign policy expert, chairing both the Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Affairs and the Subcommittee on Africa.
U.S. Budget Cuts Could Cramp Aid to Israel
In its last days, the outgoing 111th Congress drew the battle lines for the next debate Democrats and Republicans will have about Israel.
And the debate is all about money.

Having written previously on the formation of an EU Armed Forces, with recent changes gathering apace I am compelled to write further on the topic of the EU army, its position with NATO and the future potential consequences.
Since the conception of the current European Union there have always been plans for what people are referring to as an EU army. As early as the 1992 Maastricht Treaty (Treaty on European Union) under Article J.4, plans were made for the EU to form a common defence policy, with the aim to go on and form a common defence, i.e. the basis on which to form the inception for an EU Army.
By 2003, at a meeting in Brussels it was agreed between France, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg to form a "European Defence Initiative", whereby the armed forces of each nation would in future work closer together in cooperation.
This meant reinforcing the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) which lead to the formation of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). Though both policies serve the same purpose, there are major and important differences in how they each go about achieving that goal.
At the 2007 Treaty of Lisbon (TEU) it was agreed to expand upon Article J.4 so, under Article 42 it was agreed for the upcoming CSDP to pool the resources available to the European Defence Agency (EDA) and form a "Permanent Structured Cooperation in Defence" within the EU. In effect this was the license granting the EU to form a combined EU Armed Forces enshrined as a directive in EU legislation.
For an EU Army to come to fruition the Common Security and Defence Policy was required to supersede the European Security and Defence Policy. It is vital to understand the differences between the two. The main points of the ESDP are:
- The ESDP though being of Europe was not operating under direct legislation from the EU.
- The ESDP was enacted under the organisation of the Western European Union (WEU). Though the WEU's Council and Assembly operated from a headquarters in Brussels, the organisation was in fact a part of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), the Allied Command Operations headquarters for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
- The remit of the ESDP was enacted under NATO protocols.
- In 1995 a European multinational rapid reaction force, the European Rapid Operational Force (Eurofor) was set up by the WEU. The deployment of Eurofor was a joint NATO and EU action.
By comparison the nature of the Common Security and Defence Policy brought about by the Treaty of Lisbon differs greatly to the previous European Security and Defence Policy. Those differences are:
- The CSDP falls entirely under the jurisdiction of the European Union. NATO has no say and plays no part in the policy.
- The WEU embedded in NATO was abolished to be replaced by the European Defence Agency (EDA) as early as 2004. The EDA is answerable solely to the EU Council and has no links with NATO. The EDA is responsible for a remit that covers everything from defence think-tanks to research and development, from operational planning to tactical deployment.
- Eurofor the joint NATO and EU European multinational rapid reaction force was replaced by the EU Battlegroup (EU BG). Again, this EU Battlegroup is solely answerable to the Council of the European Union and therefore the unelected European Commission.
The EU Battlegroup is also complemented with the European Corps (Eurocorps), the European Gendarmerie Force (EUROGENDFOR or EGF), the European Maritime Force (Euromarfor or EMF) and the European Union Force (EUFOR). All are joint EU operations.
It is the EU Battlegroup which has formed the nucleus of this EU army. Already in May, British troops of the 2nd Battalion, the Yorkshire Regiment and the 4th Infantry Brigade were deployed on exercise on Salisbury Plain as part of an EU Battlegroup joint operation. Further more, as explained by others including Colonel Richard Kemp CBE, from July these troops shall form part of the EU High Readiness Battlegroup and shall be commanded by the EU Council.
The European Defence Agency and therefore the EU Battlegroup is presided over by the "High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy". The High Representative works in conjunction with the President of the European Council. Both unelected in the positions they hold. It is they who shall hold sway over the deployment of the 2nd Battalion, the Yorkshire Regiment and the 4th Infantry Brigade from July. The post of High Representative is currently held by Italian politician Federica Mogherini. A member of the Italian Communist Youth Federation, after the dissolution of the Italian Communist Party, Mogherini became a member of the post-Communist `Democratic Party of the Left'. So at this very moment a representative of the Communist/Socialist left now holds the power to preside over the deployment of members of HM Armed Forces.
Whether members of HM Armed Forces on exercise bore the insignia of the Union flag or the EU flag is a moot point. The most pressing issue is who held control and overall power to deploy British troops on exercise. The answer to this is the High Representative, a `foreign' politician and a `non-British' body hold the powers to control a supposedly sovereign nation and the movements of its troops. This is not a fantasy, nor a dream but an event that has already taken place in actuality and has already occurred.
In my previous article The Armed Forces of the EU, I concentrated upon the eventual and complete loss of sovereign control of HM Armed Forces by the UK. I also focused upon future dangers placed upon citizens of the EU when, not if an EU Armed Forces came to fruition.
Since there are many in the StrongerIn and Remain camp who display a total sense of naivety where it concerns political and defence policy matters, and who are in complete and utter denial about the formation of an EU army, I would care to impart to them a prescient concern which is far greater than the UK leaving the EU.
Don't just take my word for it, for what I am about to write. Listen to the professionals. Listen to Veterans for Britain, heed the words of Rear Admiral Roger Lane-Nott CB, Major-General Julian Thompson CB, OBE, General Sir Michael Rose KCB CBE DSO, QGM, Lt-Gen Jonathon Riley, Major-General Tim Cross CBE, Major-General Nick Vaux CB, DSO, Major-General Malcolm Hunt OBE, Rear Admiral Richard Heaslip CB, Rear Admiral Conrad Jenkin, Commodore Mike Clapp CB, Colonel Richard Kemp CBE and now included in that number Field Marshal Lord Charles Guthrie GCB, LVO, OBE, DL. Research these men and what they now say of the EU. You shall not only discover much bravery on their part but you shall also discover much reasoning and truth in the words they say.
To place the current dangers of the European Defence Agency and Article 42 in to context we must look to the past and the Cold War. Many of us are children of the atomic age. Born after the Second World War we grew up in a world that lived under a silent but constant threat of total annihilation during the Cold War with the USSR, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics opposing the West which included the USA and NATO members.
During this Cold War period, especially for many of us who grew up in the vicinity of, or indeed on military barracks, we were fully aware that we were all protected by the concept of "Mutual Assured Destruction" (MAD). A form of global peace was maintained, with both sides fully aware that in the event of a pre-emptive nuclear strike the other side would retaliate without fail with equal or greater force including the use of second-strike capability. The absolute guarantee that either side would retaliate with equal force brought parity to the Cold War and ensured an acceptable stalemate. It was only in Korea and Southeast Asia that the Cold War was able to turn "Hot" in any way, allowing opposing forces to `safely' judge their foes combat abilities.
In the mean time, we were well versed in "Protect and Survive" public information films. But we never panicked. Living near military installations we were all aware that somewhere in Soviet Russia our areas would be targeted by ballistic missiles. But we also were aware that we were all under the protective envelope of professional NATO forces. Under the Single Integrated Operational Plan (SIOP) we were protected by the intercontinental bombers from the United States' `Strategic Air Command', we were protected by our own Royal Air Force and among others the Avro Vulcan bombers. By sea our Royal Navy deployed the Polaris programme, ensuring that four nuclear powered Resolution class ballistic missile submarines patrolled the seas. By counter-measure for anti-submarine warfare, the Royal Navy deployed long-range hunter-killer submarines to search for Soviet ballistic missile submarines. Ensuring our security, did not alone fall to the USA and the UK. That task was ensured by all NATO members, most notably Canada. We were eternally grateful to all the NATO personnel for their dedicated service and constant vigilance as they showed courageous acts of bravery and sacrifice.
During all that time of the Cold War NATO forces kept us safe. They ensured parity. The Soviet Union were aware if they had carried out a pre-emptive strike, those in command at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), the Allied Command Operations headquarters for NATO in Brussels under the Western European Union (WEU) would have been authorized in those circumstances to retaliate with immediate effect alongside the USA. Thus the stalemate of guaranteed "Mutual Assured Destruction" ensured peace.
Now all of those safeguards against any combative strike shall be gone. Thanks to the EU Army, or at the very least which even the Remainers can admit to, the joint EU defence policy of the European Defence Agency. Along with the EU Battlegroup this has guaranteed the marginalization of NATO within the EU.
These are precarious times. The administration of Barack Obama is currently more concerned with pressing matters in the Pacific Ocean, looking to the China Seas, China, North Korea and Southeast Asia rather than concentrating efforts towards Europe and NATO. Whoever the next Commander-in-Chief shall be, I doubt this outlook will alter very soon. At the same moment that President Obama berates NATO members from the EU for not achieving high enough levels of expenditure in their defence budgets towards NATO, these same EU states have directed this funding towards the European Defence Agency. While the power of NATO weakens and is siphoned off, so does the power of the EU's own defences weaken. The EU army may already exist in the form of the EU Battlegroup but as each nation amalgamates its own forces in to the EU army the dilution is becoming so great to be considered a threat to our defence strategy.
As previously mentioned in my other articles, since 2013 Germany has begun the integration and amalgamation of its Deutsche Marine with the Royal Netherlands Navy, the Koninklijke Marine, including their respective Marine forces, the German Seebataillon and the Dutch Korps Mariniers, along with all submarine operations. Further to this, an 800 strong German army battalion will be integrated into the Dutch Navy. The collaboration between Germany and the Netherlands has seen over 2,000 Dutch soldiers from the 11th Airmobile Brigade (11 Luchtmobiele Brigade) integrated into the Rapid Forces Division (Division Schnelle Kräfte) of the German Bundeswehr. In future the 43rd Mechanized Brigade (Gemechaniseerde Brigade) of the Royal Netherlands Army will be integrated into the 1st Panzer Division (Bundeswehr Panzerdivision), but the Bundeswehr 414 Panzerbattalion has at this time already been merged with the Gemechaniseerde Brigade. Due to amalgamation all of these forces are therefore reduced in size and weakened due to less personnel and material. Nevertheless, all have been assigned to the EU Battlegroup and are conversely not a part of NATO forces.
Now we come to the most problematic and dangerous issues of the European Defence Agency. Under Article 42.2 of the Treaty of Lisbon:
"The common security and defence policy shall include the progressive framing of a common Union defence policy. This will lead to a common defence, when the European Council, acting unanimously, so decides. It shall in that case recommend to the Member States the adoption of such a decision in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements."
In the past where those in command of NATO at SHAPE could order an effective and immediate retaliation, is the European Defence Agency now in the position where all 28 members and 2 Presidents of the European Council need to be in unanimous agreement before a retaliatory strike can be made? This seems like a virtual impossibility. It is little wonder that in the six Yugoslav Wars fought from 1991 to 2001, conflicts fought on European soil; there was no presence from the EU in the Balkans. Not once. All intervening forces came from NATO and UN Peacekeeping Operations. Not a single presence from the EU due to a lack of unanimous agreement. This is just one example in a litany of many.
This is a grave concern and a very serious threat to our immediate safety. If European Defence Agency forces are not deployed by unanimous agreement then what may be the other options? It may be possible in future we shall witness the High Representative and the President of the European Council (both unelected in the positions they hold) take the executive decision to order a retaliate strike. To consider the possibility that either would hold sway over the Royal Navy's Trident nuclear programme and their four nuclear powered Vanguard-class ballistic missile submarines does not bear thinking about. By recent attitudes exhibited by the EU it would seem unlikely that their services would ever be deployed, no matter the circumstance. Worse still, all potential future threats to the EU will be aware of the impotence of the European Defence Agency and will perceive any EU concept of "Mutual Assured Destruction" (MAD) as moribund.
This weakness is a grave threat to global peace. To vote Brexit is the only way to ensure the long term survival of a strong NATO presence within Europe and maintain global peace. If the people of the UK vote to remain in the EU, HM Armed Forces shall ultimately be confined by the rules of Article 42. Operating within the EU Battlegroup, call it an EU army, call it a joint-operation, call it what you will; what it means is that our professional armed forces shall be bound up in the EU's vanity project as they form their own army, therefore neutralizing the combat effectiveness of HM Armed Forces. In future we shall witness an EU army which focuses almost solely on internal crises, while simultaneously flag waving and marching on parade grounds to persuade the citizens of Europe that this army has any gravitas; at the same time they shall turn a blind eye to all external threats from outside of the EU.
While remaining within the EU, the UK shall be unable to influence future defence policies of the Common Security and Defence Policy or the European Defence Agency. It is only by leaving the EU, would the UK be able to influence the disastrous situation Europe now finds itself in. After Brexit the UK would at last regain a powerful voice within Europe to speak on behalf of NATO. Only after Brexit could the UK have enough power to influence the United States of America to once again look towards Europe and NATO. For NATO forces would be unable to operate effectively without the great input from the forces of the USA.
If you wish to preserve NATO to ensure the safety of ours and future generations the only solution for this is to choose Brexit and to vote leave on the 23rd June.

Skip to comments.State gun sales on track for record-shattering year
Posted on 11/29/2012 5:22:08 AM PST by rellimpank
Brisk Black Friday gun sales added to the record-setting gun-buying year coming to a close in Wisconsin.
While gun purchases set a record nationally on Black Friday, Wisconsin's peak gun-buying frenzy stretched for months following the adoption of the states concealed carry law, which went into effect on Nov. 1 last year.
The states handgun hot line, which gun dealers call to get background checks to see if prospective handgun buyers are barred from owning guns because of felony status or mental health reasons, is having a record-shattering year.
As of Tuesday, the hot line had received 117,379 request

Must be another reason for the increse in entrepanurers. Lots of new gun shops starting up, creating those new jobs Obama is always talking about. Ammunition sales going up, more new companies and more new jobs. Gotta love it.
The "people" are getting ready!!!!!
"The people are getting ready!!!!!"
Yep. 100,000,000 gun owners makes for one hell of an army.
Get your ammo now and buy guns with no paper trail 'cause the day of reckoning is coming real soon.
To be followed by a record number of boating accidents in which guns were washed overboard.
2nd Amendment is now the biggest difference between the U.S. and Formerly Great Britain. Obama will try to do away with it soon.
Good news for every Wisconsin citizen who enjoys freedom, outdoor recreation, collecting fine arms and the other benefits the Second Amendment guarantees us. Never let enemies of freedom restrict our rights.
I enjoy skeet, sporting clays, trap, target shooting, reloading and our right to self defense. It's never been better for my interests than how it is here in Wisconsin now. May it never change. NRA long time member.

Minimum requirements for Calibration Control
Calibration Control version 8.9 and higher uses MS .NET 4.0 (full). Therefore, if your computer can run .NET 4.0 (full) or higher, then Calibration Control should run properly. Please review the complete .NET Framework System Requirements from Microsoft for more information. A simplified set of requirements is presented below:
Hardware Requirements
- Processor: Minimum 1 GHz (suggest 2 GHz or higher)
- RAM: Minimum 8 GB of RAM (Suggest 16 GB or higher for smooth operation of all your software)
- HDD Space: 2 GB of hard-disk space minimum if the system requires the .NET version 4.0 (full) framework
Operating System Requirements
- Operating System: Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 10
- DOTNET Framework: .NET 4.0 (full)
- MS Database Connectivity: MS Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components (2007)
- Brother Label Printer Drivers (32 bit only): The brother label printer drivers are normally included in the Ape Software install file. Therefore, these drivers are only required if AS is installed on a remote computer.
Database Choices
- Access or SQL: CC connects to an MS Access database (on client or network location) or a SQL Server database (2008 R2 or higher). MS Access is not required on the computer where CC is installed but it does make it easier to look directly at the database file, if desired.
- Access vs. SQL: The benefit of using MS Access is that application and database updates do not usually require IT where using SQL Server will probably yield faster connectivity over longer distances (e.g., China or different states).
Install Configuration Choices
- Client Application: CC is a Client Application that can be installed on a single or multiple Clients all pointing to a single database (most common), installed on a File server (still runs on the client), or installed on a Terminal server.
- Shared Data and Files Folder: In multi-user mode, no matter which database type is used, CC requires a central folder location (on file server for multiple users) and usually the same place as the MS Access database, where each user has read/write privileges and is mapped the same way.
- Separate Program Files Folder: NEVER use the Program Files folder for any other purpose besides the placement of the Program Files. Do not place the Database or the Files Folder in the same location or below the Program Files folder. Do not place the Program Files folder in the same folder or below the Settings Folder.
Admin or Read/Write Privileges
From the perspective of each Client computer account, CC users require access to the following locations. Normally, these locations are available unless they have been locked down by local security measures.
- Settings Folder: Read/write access to the Public Documents folders (Win7, Vista, etc.) or All Users Documents folders (XP). Specifically, the W7 install uses C:\Users\Public\Documents\Ape Software\Calibration Control and XP uses C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Ape Software\Calibration Control .
- Program Folder: Read access the Program Files folder of wherever CC is installed. Using the default folder, by letting the installation program decide, is recommended.
- Data and Files Folders: Read/write access to the locations chosen for the Data Folder and the common Files Folders (e.g., Attachments, Reports (templates), and Labels (templates). By default, the Data and Files Folder is the same location as the Settings Folder.
- Registry: Read/write access to the registry location at HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Ape Software.
Remote Support
Let us know if you need help with anything related to CC! We can share screens via remote support and help you download, install, configure, give you a tour, and answer questions while you sit back and watch.
Compatibility: Calibration Control versions 8.9 to current

A long distance swimmer's point of view. Rainy summer on Ireland's Copper Coast, swimming out toward the island
Peripheral vaso-constriction acts in everyone to conserve heat by shutting off blood flow to the extremities. As a cold water distance swimmer who lives in Northern Europe, this still happens me in temperatures I consider very warm (18C). I feel cold to the touch while remaining completely comfortable. Most people however do not undergo any adaptation training. Therefore after swimming recently around Manhattan island, the adapted cold water swimmer had problems with the heat, while the untrained swimmers were picking up thermal blankets afterwards. (Which I found fucking hilarious).
The adaptation process is actually a combination of habituation and acclimatization, i.e. first getting used to cold shock, then being able to extend the exposure duration. There is a difference in being used to certain ambient temperatures,as you mention, and actual cold adaptation.
The latent heat in a body can't be instantly bled off in a short period of time. While unconsciousness or more likely extreme lethargy, may result in people from warm climes, that will actually result in slowed heat loss. There's a saying in hypothermia, (which I've to various degrees maybe a hundred times, very rough quick guess) "you are not dead until you are warm and dead".

As part of our Ten Years of Nerve retrospective, we bring you a series of interviews with the people who made, and continue to make, the publication happen. Today, current Babble editor Gwynne Watkins talks with co-founder Genevieve Field, who is now an editor at Glamour.
Can you give me the Readers' Digest condensed version of how Nerve came about?
Rufus and I were working together at a small book packager called Cader Books. We fell in love and moved in with each other. As soon as we became a couple, we started talking about Nerve. It was something Rufus had been dreaming about doing for a few years. But his original idea was to do a magazine about sex and death. Luckily that idea got sort of thrown by the wayside. I can't say that I'm the only one who took credit for talking him out of it. If you can imagine anything sort of less commercial than Nerve, that would have been it. So we decided to just go with a smart magazine about sex. We called it "literate smut" at first. That was sort of a coined phrase. Although we found that a lot of people didn't get it.
How so?
They thought we really meant it was smut. And why did we need to say that it was literate? Wasn't it obviously literature?
What happened then?
Rufus quit his job first. And I moved on to another publishing house. He was always great about finding us money. After he'd found us some seed capital, I quit my job at Melcher Media, and we spent a few months working with Joey Cavella, designing it. Rufus and I wrote letters to every author whose book we'd ever read and loved, telling them what we were doing, and asking them if they'd be interested. The response we got was kind of amazing. It was the perfect moment in time for that kind of response. We were so early into the web that people were curious about it and very into it. Rick Moody. Norman Mailer gave us something at the very beginning.
It was different from what it evolved into. It read like a couple of recent college graduates doing the magazine. The articles were extremely long-winded and, in some cases, probably too long for the web. It took us a while to figure out that people weren't interested in reading more than 500 words or so. I think Nerve actually still needs to figure that out, to be honest.
It was very literary, and a lot of people made fun of us for taking ourselves too seriously. Even though a lot of the stuff was funny-literary, it was still fairly highbrow. We liked it that way, and that gave us some credibility.
The process for the photography was the same. Richard Kern was sort of our poster boy, but we also had Ralph Gibson and Sylvia Plachy, and people who were very established in the fine-art community. As the photo editor, that was the direction I wanted to go. After I left, the site got a lot sexier, I noticed. [laughs] I really like the photography now. It's just a different direction.
What about the launch?
Rufus went on CNN the same day we launched, which was timed conveniently by us. The Communications Decency Act was overruled by the Supreme Court. If this bill had not been struck down, we would not have been able to publish our site at all, and the months of preparation would have been for naught. We were immediately picked up as poster children for the new wave of content on the web, and how a sexual site could be deemed literary instead of just straight porn. Rufus went on The Charlie Rose Show a couple of days after we launched, and we just started getting an incredible amount of attention and traffic.
It was the three of us working: Joey was in his apartment at home in his house, and Rufus and I were in our apartment. We just worked like dogs, all the time. The big joke was that we were supposed to be a young, sexy couple starting this sex magazine, but we never had time to have sex.
What was it like working out of your apartment?
I remember feeling like we were a real family. Rufus and I lived there, but eventually there were people working there at all hours. It was everyone's house, not just our house, so I had to learn to live with, uh, no privacy at all. That was fun, and hard. Those first few years, everything was back-burnered for Nerve. I think that's what happens when you start a business.
Did you have an obligation to make it appealing to women?
That was definitely my first priority. At every turn or new development I would ask, is this for the female audience or not? I think I appealed to women as the face of Nerve, because I seemed to be a regular person. When people would meet me, they would say, "Oh, I thought you were going to be in head-to-toe leather!" or "I thought you were going to have tattoos." Or be, you know, basically, much cooler than I really was. The same thing with Rufus. We were kind of this regular couple.
What were some moments you remember?
Launching the print magazine was a huge moment. I was heavily involved in the photography at the time, so all of a sudden all the photographers wanted to shoot for us. I'd been sort of begging and pleading for people to contribute their photography, but the web was still not considered a legitimate place to show your work. But print magazines were where it was at. So all of a sudden all of the photographers that I'd been hounding for years wanted to publish in a Nerve print magazine. So that was really fun. But more than that, it was great to finally have something to hold in my hand and show my family and shock them. It was a very exciting time.
What about the HBO party?
I think that might have been a turning point. Until then, we had been just this scrappy little company. We would throw great parties that got talked about. HBO heard about the great Nerve parties, and they wanted to help us throw one, so they could film. It was part of a pilot for a show that didn't end up working out. And that was where we went from being just this scrappy little shop to, I felt, something too commercial. The space was lit by 1,000 strobe lights. It was not the intimate, cool, dark atmosphere anymore. There were professional models walking around serving drinks, and professional dancers. It was like someone else's vision of what we were.
We had all been given these outfits to wear, and none of us wore the outfits, so HBO was really mad at us for not wearing the clothes we were told to wear. I think they were mad at us the whole night because we weren't performing — we weren't acting like the people that they had envisioned for their show. And I was just trying to come to grips with the fact that it was too bright. They took the mike off me at one point. They lost interest, and they told me to go do my own thing. That was an interesting moment.
What were some challenges of being a Nerve editor that you haven't had at any other editorial job?
I find it's the same challenges that I've had as an editor at any job. I'm always trying to get writers to be more honest and be more personal. I think what's made me successful as an editor — I have a really good bullshit detector. So if someone's trying to sort of gloss over a really painful or emotional truth in their life, I'm good at teasing those truths out.I thought I was going to be a book or magazine editor, which I did end up becoming, but I thought I would be at Doubleday or Mademoiselle magazine. And here I was editing this sex site. But I had so much fun. Every minute. I couldn't imagine a job that would be more exciting.
Are there any pieces you're especially proud of publishing?
One piece that I remember loving was by Stacey D'Erasmo, about gay teenagers. We got out of one person's head and looked at how sex was playing into the big picture.
Tell me about the print magazine folding.
It was a bummer. It was probably inevitable. None of us were incredibly shocked by it. It's so hard for print magazines to make a go of it. To compete, you have to have really deep pockets, and we had very tiny pockets, so we couldn't sustain it for more than a year. But I'm so glad we did it. I feel like it's this relic of the time.
The print magazine market is even worse now.
Print magazines are just tough, no matter what. I think it's just so damn cool that Nerve still exists. None of our friends from that era are still out there, they've moved on, their magazines have changed, but Nerve is still there. It's so awesome.
What did you took away from it?
It was great for my career. It was great for my confidence. It helped me meet a lot of the writers I still work with today. I think it's opened a lot of doors for me. I'm proud to have done something that was pretty revolutionary for its time.

Children's Spirit Animal Cards By: Dr. Steven Farmer with Jesseca Camacho
Here's a look at some of our card decks.
Pamela Anzalotti has captured each animal in it's fullest beauty through her brilliant and vivid illustrations.
Each card has a special message for your child. You can hand your child the deck and let your child intuitively draw a card. Every card features an animal with a special message. Wolf's message "You are safe and protected", Beaver's message "Do your chores", Horse's message "Trust your feelings" and Bear says "Stand up for yourself." These are just a few on the encouraging animal messages.
These cards come with a guidebook. When your child picks a card, you can look up the animal in the guidebook for a more in depth definition of it's meaning. Also included are life skill activities to reinforce each animals powerful message. These cards offer advice and suggestions to help you deal with the different problems and concerns your child might encounter while growing up.

No drama in D.C. court Monday: A judge gave Chris Brown a new court date of Jan. 8. The singer was originally scheduled to be at a Monday hearing for his misdemeanor assault charge — you remember that October altercation in front of the W Hotel? — but he was allowed to skip the court appearance, report our colleagues Keith L. Alexander and Dana Hedgpeth.
After getting kicked out of one rehab center for violent behavior, Brown checked into another last week when a California court ordered him to spend 90 days working on his anger-management issues. Brown's lawyers asked if he could miss the D.C. hearing and remain in California: "It would be counter-productive to have Mr. Brown check-out of an inpatient treatment program and travel across the country to attend a status hearing that will likely result in a continuance," they wrote in their filing. They also said prosecutors didn't give them documents until last week, which didn't give the defense enough time to prepare for Monday's hearing.
Although the January date still falls within the mandated 90 days of anger-management treatment, Brown will be required to appear at that hearing per the judge's order an order by the judge. However, Brown's attorneys could petition for another waiver that would allow the hearing to be held without the singer present.

The physical (im)possibility of jumping over.....
Chicago, IL 60642
Saturday, 26 June 2010
6 - 10pm
Performance 8pm
As part of their Cotillion series Happy Collaborationists brings you the debut solo exhibition from Isobel Shirley.
The physical (im)possibility of jumping over The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living.
Referring to an episode of Happy Days 'Jumping the shark is an idiom used to describe the moment of downturn for a previously successful enterprise. The phrase was originally used to denote the point in a television program's history where the plot spins off into absurd story lines or unlikely characterizations… often the result of efforts to revive interest in a show whose viewership has begun to decline.' Wikipedia
'Shock art is the safest kind of art than an artist can go into the business of making today.' Lynne Munson
Based between London and New York, Isobel Shirley uses both her practice to address the different functions of the art world, and the roles created within it. Whilst promoting interaction and discourse, her work often uses a knowing humour to question her own intentions as an artist and motivations for producing work. Using the platform of her first solo exhibition Shirley questions the implications of an artist. Always striving to make that piece of work that will make your mark, yet dreading forever being associated with it and pigeon holed.
During her exhibition at Happy Collaborationists, Shirley will present a body of work from her ongoing mission to jump over Damien Hirst's The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living. Through her training and obsessive preparations, culminating in a performance of death defying feats, Shirley asks the question, 'Is it possible to jump the art shark?' and if so 'Where do you go from there?'
27 - 29 June
3 - 7pm or by appointment.

The Alzheimer's Association is the largest non-profit health organization dedicated to Alzheimer's disease. Our VISION is a world without Alzheimer's disease. To help us achieve that vision, our MISSION is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research and promotion of brain health, and to enhance care and support for all individuals, their families and caregivers.
The Georgia Chapter has a staff of approximately 40, located at regional offices and across the state. We need your help—no matter where you live in Georgia—to join us in the fight against the disease. If you are age 14-104 and can give an hour or two once in a while, an hour or two a week, or a greater time commitment, we need you. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!! Our volunteers are very special people—individuals who share with us their skills and talents, and become part of the Association team. They are individuals who allow us to leverage our resources, giving us the maximum potential in providing the best possible service to individuals with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. All volunteers are asked to complete the volunteer application, go through an interview and training orientation to be best prepared for the duty that best matches their talent and desire.
From the mountains to the beach from Dalton to Valdosta to Columbus to Savannah and all across Georgia– great things happen when you volunteer with the Alzheimer's Association! Learn more about all of our volunteer opportunities and how to get started as an Alzheimer's Association volunteer below. If you have a talent or interest in one specific area, we will work with you to put those skills to use. Some of our volunteer opportunities are outlined below:
Administrative Office Volunteers
Do you love a fun office environment and thrive on being organized and up for anything? As a member of the administrative team, you'll help organize and prepare materials for conferences, special events and Helpline packets and aid in the overall workflow of a community outreach center. This encompasses answering and making phone calls. making copies, organizing mailings, computer work, data entry and more. We offer weekday and limited weekend opportunities. Volunteers can also be trained to facilitate basic educational programs.
Advocacy Volunteers
If you feel passionate about the Alzheimer's cause and believe in the impact of public policy & advocacy, you will make a great advocacy volunteer! You don't have to be experienced in advocacy (we teach you that!) just a desire to become an advocate. Advocates help us influence legislators at the state and federal level by sending emails, writing letters and calling or visiting legislators. We need individuals and groups to become informed about the issues and statistics related to Alzheimer's disease, then, as opportunities arise, help us get the word out by taking an action. Opportunities are available from simple actions from home (emails, calls or social media posts) to recruiting new advocates at walk to spending a day or two a year with us at an advocacy training or Alzheimer's Awareness Day event at the Georgia Capitol to becoming an Alzheimer's Congressional Team member or even to the pinnacle of grassroots advocacy as an Alzheimer's Ambassador to your Congressman. Let us know you are interested and we will figure out, together, the best fit for you!
Health/Information Fair Representative
Do you enjoy meeting the public and sharing the resources of the Alzheimer's Association? Represent the Association and Community Outreach Centers across the state at various health and information fairs held in communities all around Georgia—volunteers from each county in GA are encouraged to become trained.
Speaker's Bureau Volunteers
Shrinking violet's need not apply! Our Speakers Bureau volunteers represent and promote the Alzheimer's Association through presentations and at events. Presentations can range from as little as three minutes to full one-hour trainings. Speakers Bureau volunteers may also distribute information and brochures at health fairs and employee giving drives. These volunteers need access to reliable transportation and should be willing and able to travel in local areas, representing the Association in the community by speaking to civic clubs, church groups, school groups, businesses, etc.
Special Events - Walk To End Alzheimer's, Dancing Stars and others
Throughout the year, we do many special events to help raise awareness and funds for the Association. These events include but are not limited to motorcycle rides, triathlons, golf tournaments, auctions/silent auctions, flag football, 5k runs, dinners etc. The signature awareness and fundraising events in each community are the annual Walk To End Alzheimer's—typically held in the fall and Dancing Stars held in the spring. Volunteers are needed to serve on planning committees throughout the event season as well as day of events volunteers to set up, manage and clean up.

If you are looking for a volunteer opportunity that gives you in-person contact with families that are coping with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, facilitating a support group might be a good fit for you. Our expertly trained support group leaders facilitate or co-facilitate support groups throughout our chapter for family members and caregivers seeking assistance, emotional support and information on all topics related to Alzheimer's disease. The required time commitment varies from three to four hours on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis depending upon the specific support group assigned. Support group leader volunteers are required to make a minimum one-year commitment.

b8 S4 vs G37x vs GS350 vs random
I will be purchasing a car in the near future and I am going for CPO. I really want an AWD, so the S4 is my first choice. I heard the Quattro is sick. The car will mostly be used for Road trips and Weekend driving. I have a older Nissan Maxima that is my daily driver. My main issue with the Audi is that most people state that it will be costly and frequent, in the future, and I plan on keeping the car for a long time. My 96 Maxima currently has 171k on it.
I live in San Antonio Tx and it can get pretty hot. Are there any reasons I should avoid the Audi besides costly repairs??? I am not a wrencher, but I am not afraid to dig in.
I am open to other cars too
Please give me suggestions!!!
So far the cars that caught my eyes are:
Infiniti G37x (looks cheap in most areas, but still a great ride)
Lexus GS350 (Never owned a Toyota and this one seems pretty nice)
Audi B8 S4 (so far has all the specs I want and I like to have cars I don't see on the road all the time)
***BMW 335xi is not on my radar because I see way too many BMW's out here. I don't want to join the club.***
Subaru Impreza or Lancer Evo are interesting too, but I'm looking for a little more luxury

Also, I can only move it to one place, not to both, and those discussions attract two different crowds. I'd suggest posting in both. You can just copy & paste your original post.

Could robots reduce human rights violations?
Could automation actually help reduce reputed human rights violations? If Foxconn — one of the most infamous manufacturers of consumer electronics — succeeds in deploying its "Foxbots", one of the biggest controversies in the tech world could disappear overnight.
Foxconn will spend $20,000 to $25,000 to field each robotic worker, and these automatons will repay their investment in free, tireless labor and the ability to assemble 30,000 devices on average.
This presents an interesting conundrum — most critics wouldn't advocate for improved working conditions for robots (and lament the suicides and low wages), but this is also a clear case of automation replacing human labor. Still, many would argue that innovation trumps legacy technologies (and obsolete professions).
A Wired piece claims that Foxconn's robots could actually end up bringing jobs to the U.S.
"Industries where the fabrication of goods involves heavy use of machines as well as human handiwork will increasingly look to the U.S.," it says.
The "Foxbots" are in their "final testing phase" and according to Foxconn CEO Terry Gou, the company will test the waters with an initial investment of 10,000 robots. As an aside, the company also hired about 100,000 new human employees in advance of the next Apple iPhone. So the presumed "iPhone 6" will be assembled by a mixed force of human and robotic labor.
And a number of reports claim the "Foxbots" will actually play more of a supporting role.
ECN will continue monitoring this story as it develops.

Five questions with... David Pfalzgraf
The firm — Rupp Baase Pfalzgraf Cunningham & Coppola LLC — recently marked its 14th anniversary. What's happening?
While we loved the careers we had at Hodgson Russ, all three of us (Pfalzgraf, Tony Rupp and Jeff Baase) were entrepreneurial and thought that we could create a firm that would have a commitment to excellence in the practice of law and would also maintain a culture that was second to none. We've seen some rapid growth in our 14 years and we've grown ... to nearly 40 attorneys, which was due to the addition of some key partners like Tom Cunningham, about a year after the firm was founded, and then with our partner Lisa Coppola. The core group has been together ever since and we consider ourselves to be an up-and-coming firm in Buffalo.
What are the firm's main practice areas?
The practice areas have expanded since we were a litigation boutique firm in the early 2000s. Since then, we're able to boast a strong corporate practice group and strong commercial lending and real estate group, but our engine remains our litigation practice. We have some of the very best trial lawyers in town and the volume we see in both our commercial litigation and our insurance defense and coverage work continues to be one of the key driving forces that's allowed the firm to grow. While we like to consider ourselves to be a full-service law firm with many different practice areas, the two main areas we focus on are litigation and corporate practice.
What do you look for in new associates?
When recruiting, we look for individuals who are interested in doing more for the firm and themselves than simply coming in to bill 1,800 hours a year. The type of individual we're looking for here is also someone committed to the community and someone interested in getting involved in activities outside the law firm, as well as being a positive influence here in doing more, in terms of getting involved in recruiting, our mentor program and really doing things other than the straight practice alone. I think that's a trend we're seeing in the Buffalo legal community. Historically, the expectations of associates was to bill hours, but I think in this day and age we're finding associates want to do more than that, so we certainly encourage all of our partners and associates to get involved in activities within the firm, as well as activities external to the firm.
Do you lead by example in that regard?
I think I'm an example of ways in which our firm has encouraged its partners and associate attorneys to get involved. Last year, I had the honor of being elected president of the Buffalo Club, which is a historic club right on Delaware Avenue. The opportunity required quite a bit of time commitment but, thankfully, my partners understood and supported me in terms of allowing me that experience of leading the club through a transformation as we embarked on a $9 million capital improvement project. I got to oversee that project, which is now complete. It's something that's been very meaningful to my professional, as well as my personal, development as an individual and attorney who's committed to the community.
What's a local cause that your firm supports?
Over the past couple of years, we've been one of the leading companies supporting the Ride for Roswell — in the financial commitment, as well as with number of riders. Tom Cunningham and Chuck Case have led our efforts and they should be commended for their commitment to Roswell. It really has been a groundswell of support from the firm to support initiatives like that. Whether it's on an individual basis or on a collective basis, I think the firm is very much committed to community work and trying to make Western New York an even better place to live.

Celtics Draft Jared Sullinger, Fab Melo
The Boston Celtics selected Ohio State forward Jared Sullinger and Syracuse center Fab Melo with the 21st and 22nd overall picks in the NBA draft on Thursday night. Sullinger would have been a lottery pick had he entered the draft in 2011. He averaged 17.5 points and 9.2 rebounds last season while battling back problems to help the Buckeyes advance to the Final Four.
"Obviously we needed to address size," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "The fact that number one, Jared Sullinger fell to us, is just fortunate. Last year he would have a been a top-5 pick. It gives us a rebounder, a high IQ player, a good player, a really good player from the outside."
Melo was named the 2011-12 Big East Defensive Player of the Year and averaged 7.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.9 blocks for Syracuse. "Fab Melo does the same thing," added Rivers. "He has size and we like size, we needed size. It gives us the chance to work with him. We think he can be a good player."
The C's also picked up Melo's Syracuse teammate Kris Joseph. The senior forward averaged 13.4 points and 4.7 rebounds for the Orange last year. More Boston Celtics offseason updates to come.

Golf industry shares plans to grow the gameMarch 6, 2015 Golf Equipment
Representatives meet to discuss opportunities to develop golf.
Representatives from across the golf industry met at Carden Park this week for discussions around how to grow the game.
American Golf hosted a conference which was attended by Sky, The British Golf Industry Association, Naitonal Club Golfer publishers Sports Publications, The Golf Course Owners Association, National Golf Month and the company's newly-appointed charity, the Golf Foundation.
National Golf Month founder Doug Poole said: "This was the perfect platform for so many of the key players in the golf industry to share our thoughts and ideas.
'It was really heartening to hear how everyone is working together' "As an industry, we rarely get together to discuss our concerns and it was really heartening to hear how everyone is working together for a brighter future."
American Golf's head of marketing, Daniel Gathercole, explained why the company decided to host the event and said: "We thought that the timing and location made for the ideal place for the industry to share ideas about how to grow the game of golf. It is clear to everyone who took part that the success of any initiatives relies very much on co-operation and we are determined to help where possible."

It's time to face the facts, the two groups who commit violence, mayhem; murder and destruction of property are liberals and Muslims. Both groups subscribe to a totalitarian ideology and have no regard for others who disagree with them.
Let's put aside the wanton destruction of property at President Donald Trump's inaugural and take a look at the latest outrage. A libtard attended an event which featured gay conservative, Milo Yiannopoulos at Washington State University and shot who he thought was a "white supremacist." That's outrageous enough, but it gets better. The police let him go. Here is an excerpt from the Daily Caller:
The shooter turned himself in Friday night after police put out a lookout, but he was released without charges "after telling investigators he fired in self-defense during a campus protest," the Seattle Times reported. The lookout described the suspect as an Asian man in his fifties.
"One of the law-enforcement officials said the man who fired the gun claimed he had been assaulted before shooting the other man, whom he believed to be some type of white supremacist," the report said.
The shooter was then "released pending investigation," it said. Police did not name the shooter.
They said the 32-year-old victim had a "life-threatening gunshot wound to the abdomen."
Come to find out, the victim is another libtard. This is a case of mistaken identity. These people are absolutely insane.

Vehicle1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 2dr Coupe
ReviewThis is my first V-8... I've owned a Honda Accord, Acura Integra, and Infinti I30t... I was ready to try something radically different. The Camaro has been very fun.. I love the Power and the T-Tops. Doesn't have the build quality of the other cars I've owned, but my other cars a lot more $$$ to buy. This car makes lots of odd noises... but if you push the gas pedal the cool sound of the V-8 drowns out all the other noises. I've had one consistent problem with the car, which the dealer and other mechanics have been unable to resolve... the power is uneven on light engine load conditions... If It weren't for this problem I'd probably be in love with this car.
