Artist Ed Fairburn brings maps to life by using the contours of a mapped landscape as a canvas for portaiture. Remember when you were a kid and you'd look at the map and be like "that looks like a dude wearing a chef's hat" or some shit? Well Fairburn takes that same sort of imagination to an entirely new level.

Track 10 on CDS44331/42 CD11 [5'24] 12CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
Things are more restrained in the first movement, the intensity of which is more inward and sustained from the very start. The sense of a controlled, ongoing line which will eventually break free becomes the preoccupation of the development section, a remarkable passage built entirely over a pedal on the fifth degree, A, which inhibits, though never resolves, the constantly shifting harmonies above it. Only when harmonic movement resumes in the reprise does the urge for freedom take over, with bold modulations which seem to announce the development proper, though the retransition to the home key and second theme is soon accomplished. The contrast offered by this lyrical theme, again given first to the piano, is greater than in the other sonatas, and one is very conscious of its vulnerability and transience when the sterner mood returns, though the return of the pedal, now on the tonic, D, leaves the tension at least temporarily resolved.
For the first time in these sonatas Brahms provides this work with two separate middle movements, though neither is expansive. The 'Adagio' captures the intensity of the slow movement of the G major sonata, though in a much shorter space: the power is here more closely associated with instrumental idiom, the suave thirds of the violin part at the climax touching the Hungarian manner so important to Joachim, by whom all Brahms's violin writing was ultimately inspired. The third movement re-engages with the playful 'Vivace' character of the A major Sonata, though now from a greater distance and with a reflective restraint, as the final bars show. They offer a perfect foil to the strenuous finale to follow.

The traditional central-station grid is evolving toward a more distributed architecture, accommodating a variety of resources spread out across the network. An open and thoughtful planning...
2008 Regulators Forum: Putting Efficiency First
New rate structures prioritize conservation, but will customers buy it?
wherever we can find them, because this is going to be very important.
General public awareness now of the issues regarding climate change and energy costs will help this education program succeed.
Smitherman (Texas): We need to engage in customer education for smart meters, but do it in a really smart way.
For example you can give a customer an inexpensive device they can put by the kitchen sink that will tell them how much they are consuming at that moment, what the price is, and at the present rate of consumption what their bill will be at the end of the month. That kind of instant feedback is probably more effective than taking out ads in the newspaper or having a television commercial, because you've gotten right into the home, instantaneously giving feedback to the customer.
Butler (N.J.): We have a huge challenge in how we deal with ratepayers. This is a new world where ratepayers will be able to take more control of what they do and what they pay for it, but that applies to perhaps a minority subset of ratepayers. It's incredibly disruptive for the average ratepayer to go to a new system where they have a brand new meter [which they've had to partially pay for] that's got all this great stuff, and now they've got to figure out how they need to change their behavior to avoid a larger bill and maybe even produce a smaller bill. That's quite a change in behavior, and that's the difficult part. That's why we have to be very clever about how we go about this, so we don't get a knee-jerk reaction.
Pfannenstiel (Calif.): One of the most difficult transition issues is going to be that frankly there will be winners and losers, and some people are going to have usage on peak that is just too difficult for them to move off peak, or not worth it. From an economist's standpoint one can say rather blithely, 'Well, they are imposing these costs on the system, and everybody else shouldn't be subsidizing their use on peak. So therefore they should pay the higher prices.' But in a real public-policy sense, if you have too many losers it's just not going to work.
[Conversely,] I don't think we want to be giving customers signals that say, 'It doesn't matter what you do on peak, we'll hold you harmless.' That might work on transition but ultimately it's defeating the purpose.
We need to find a way to help people understand and adapt to these rates. I think we've underestimated the difficulty of doing that. We'll have to move in wisely. We have to recognize it will take some time, and that transition time will vary for each state—and perhaps each utility service territory—to find the right balance of how quickly to move this in.
Fortnightly: Isn't it really necessary to close the technology loop with home networking, or at least some degree of intelligence with the thermostat, which is the low hanging fruit?
Butler (N.J.): You're right, it is the

I bought this guitar when I went to Dublin
And was looking for a 72 deluxe. When I got
There they did not have one in stock but I
Noticed this. I looked and couldn't find
Any difference except the tremolo. I played
It and fell in love. I bought it for roughly the
Same price as the 72 and even played it on
The train ride home. The only problem I can
Fault with it is that the tremolo was too high
And no matter what I did I couldn't bring it down.
But it is perfect for what I play( snow patrol,coldplay,
Rhcp,and some blues). I think the possitives far outway
The negatives and so a great buy.
This guitar has such a versatility of sounds it can produce on any half decent tube amp. It is the single most incredible guitar I have ever played for its value. The whammy bar is a nice addition as it not many other Tele Deluxe players will have on their guitar and it is very comfortably placed, however it hits the volume and tone knobs as you screw it in and out. The pickups are perfect for a hard, grungy sound when set to the bridge pickup and also have a very soft capabilities when on the neck pickup. The humbuckers are ideal for the music I play. However, I found the screws holding the strap in place came loose very easily after only one month of playing it with the strap and sadly one came out so there is a dent on the bottom of the guitar and a groove down the neck. I would definitely buy another provided I had enough money as the feel of the guitar is unrivalled for the money.
ottobal4 owns this item
This guitar is brilliant! It covers such a range of sounds, and works extremely well with pedals and amps to further its versatility. The neck is very comfortable, large enough to get a proper grip but not so huge as to restrict playing. It sounds great for nearly all styles of music, and the pickups have a good depth of tone, and combinations of settings on the guitar and pedal chain/amp recreate a vast number of popular tones. It stays in tune very well, and is balanced well for playing standing and sitting. The only design issue I have found with it after nearly 3 years, is that in order to remove the whammy bar for transport in a case, it doesn't fit over the pots when screwing in or out-annoying, but not a major issue.

It is extremely hard to do both as far as I am concerned the best spec for this is fury prot. You can get flurry and 1 hand weapon spec so you have decent agro and the early prot tree which helps alot in pve, even if you dont get shield slam. That and concussion blow is really nice for pvp.
You can probably work a spec out to your liking but thats what I would shoot for if I wanted to pve and pvp. As far as gear goes the same rules to tanking and being fury apply if you are BG'ing or Tanking.
Keep in mind this applies to tanking / pvp. For dps as fury in raids its really all dependant on gear, your damage doesnt really scale well unless you have better gear so it all depends on what you are looking to do. In raids your dps is not nearly as good being arms anymore since the Windfury nerf but its probably comparable to being fury with bad gear.

Check out the current issue.
Buncombe County Government (BCG), with the help of community partners, the courts, law enforcement and local municipalities, is launching a comprehensive plan to address domestic violence. The goal of the comprehensive plan is to educate, connect and inspire to end violence against women in Buncombe County. An important first step is to train stakeholders in a common lethality assessment.
Buncombe County Government and MAHEC are offering a free training on Danger Assessment (DA). DA is an instrument which helps to determine the level of danger an abused woman has of being killed by her intimate partner. The tool was developed by Jacquelyn Campbell with consultation and content validity support from battered women, shelter workers, law enforcement officials and other clinical experts on bettering.
There are 3 sessions available Tuesday, August 5, 2014 for DANGER ASSESSMENT: Screening for Lethality in Domestic Violence to Save Lives.

The switch, code-named Wedge, is being tested in Facebook's data centers. The company plans to have it in full production mode and released to the Open Compute Project (OCP) by the end of the year, said Jay Parikh, Facebook's vice president of network engineering.
Facebook founded OCP in 2011 to promote the use of open-source data center hardware. By developing open-source server designs, Parikh said, the company has saved $1.2 billion in infrastructure costs.
Wedge Overcomes Proprietary Limitations
With the proprietary networking gear, Parikh said, "we were running into a lot of things that slow down. It doesn't give us the flexibility we want -- the control we want -- the ability to configure things, monitor things, adjust [network] flows with things like Messenger, Instagram, Search, and all the other workloads we have. Being able to manage all that on the network is a very rich area for optimization."
The Wedge is a "top of rack" switch, built into each rack of servers at a Facebook data center. It has 16 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports and can be expanded to 32 ports, Parikh said. Facebook built its own chassis -- painted Facebook blue -- that is optimized for cooling and can have dual AC or DC power supplies.
The Wedge switch is built using the same microprocessor platform that is in Facebook's servers, and the company has developed its own network operating system, FBoss, which is based on the same Linux variant used in its other servers.
"It is no longer a switch. It's just a server," Parikh said of Wedge at the Structure event. With all the shared hardware and a customizable operating system similar to that on the other data center servers, costs are reduced and operations are simplified, he said.
Control and Flexibility
In a post on Facebook's Engineering Blog, Yuval Bachar and Adam Simpkins extolled the virtues of using FBoss on the Wedge.
"The service layer in 'FBoss' allows us to implement a hybrid of distributed and centralized control. We ultimately want the flexibility to optimize where the control logic resides, which in turn will allow us to get higher utilization on our links, troubleshoot easier, recover from failure faster, and respond more quickly to sudden changes in global traffic," they said in the blog post.

Trash in heroics drop 333 gear; just the way it is.
I've been trying to get a 346 Thundercall from h vp , I've been quite frusterated, as only the low lvl one drops...Now i've seen players with 346 versions of rainsong, thundercall, dark sky treads, etc. But i personnally, never see 346 trash drops...Can someone explain to me why this is? Or is it a chance that the h version and reg version will drop in h modes? Atlasloot only lists the reg versions, but ive seen the 346 ones equipped on players, and in links in these forums..I am so confused!
Thank You, in advance for any help
Then where does the 346 Rainsong , and Thundercall, and Darksky Treads come from?>
Thundercall , Darkskye Treads , Impetuous Query etc.... These are the same trash drops, from the same places, only better...Were the 346's removed? or is it a chance to get either or 333-346 dropd in heroic? I guess im asking is it still possible to get the 346 versions>? I know they're here, or were, i've noted players equipping them.!
The 346 items exist in the game files but do not drop in game. In Cataclysm Beta there was a bug that allowed for the Heroic versions of the items to drop in the normal instance. In order to prevent this issue, they simply removed the Heroic versions of the items from the loot tables of the mobs in the instance. I believe this was done before release so there shouldn't be anyone on a live server with these items (though I could be mistaken and this could have been patched after release). Sadly, they did not compensate by creating new sources of of 346 items in particular slots so in a few cases where there may be only one 346 option viable for your given spec since the alternative was one of these items which can't drop (most slots have at least two options at the 346 item level).
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
Tyvm....This was confusing, me..And yes, im almost 100% positive i saw players live with said items equipped, and i was thinking they have to have been reomved...You answered my question..
Thanx Again,
I found a post today with someone who aquired a 346 H VP trash drop..
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte.../mackoy/simple (I apologize for posting your armory Mackoy, but I'm so confused about these 346 trash drops, this seems to further misconstrue whats happening)
If you extent his "Recent Activity", you'll note that he just aquired " Thundercall " 2 days ago....
Thundercall is off the last boss in Vortex Pinnacle...it's not a trash drop.
The other items don't exist.
I've got Thundercall, I had it drop off the last boss in VP. I'm logged out in my DPS set, but here's my direct link to WoW heroes:
http://www.wow-heroes.com/character/...nor/Loganisis/ (just click on the prot spec link next to my avatar).
I thought they had added them into boss loot tables? Anyway, I know it drops from VP cuz I gots me one. I guess it's not set on exactly how it will drop :-/
An introduction into WarTanking (no longer updated as I've retired from WoW - the concepts will still be mostly accurate but the numbers no longer will be.) - http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.p...101-The-Primer
Your're right...I think i was thinkign of the "Abatement Cannon"
Thundercall was added back in 4.0.6 to a bosses loot table because there was no, zero, nada, option for a tank gun at the 346 item level. This item in particular got special treatment because there litterally was no alternative. Many other of the heroic versions of trash drops however do not exist.
Even according to the armory itself.
Thundercall does have a source:
But others such as...
Rainsong does not have a source:
However a spirit trinket has a viable alternative in Sea Star.
Oasis Bracers do not have a source:
However leather caster bracer has a viable alternative in Armbands of Change.
I suspect at some point Blizzard may add the other items back, but there was a rush to get the tanking gun in game sooner cause there really was no actual alternative at the 346 item level.
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
Alright, Thank you...I've been getting my gear drop lists from atlasloot, and it apparently doesnt update well...It's still got "Thunderstruck" as a dungeon trash drop, and the gun that drops from the final VP boss is listed as "Lightning Flash"....But,it doesnt have HALF of the endgame enchants either...So my total source of information was failed from the start...Thank you all for your input and patients =)


text: An amazing musical discovery – the lost second album from 24 Carat Black – recorded right after the band's legendary debut for Stax Records, but unissued for over 30 years! All the righteous styles of the group's famous Ghetto Misfortune's Wealth classic are fully in place here – and if anything, the record has an even headier feel overall – really complicated sounds that are often deeply spiritual, but still have that snaking, bassline-driven, slow funk quality that we love in the group! The tunes each feel like mini-symphonies in soul – and although the themes center more around love than politics, they're done in a way that goes way past any sexy soul cliches of the time. The group is amazingly laidback – slow-stepping into each tune with a care and confidence that's amazing – and letting the cuts come into their own organically, but always with a mystical sense of order. Numero have done a wonderful job excavating this work – remastering the tapes for great sound, and telling the full story of the group and their too-short career. Titles include "The Best Of Good Love Gone", "I'll Never Let You Go", "Gone The Promises Of Yesterday", "I Begin To Weep", "I Want To Make Up", and "I Don't Love You". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

This kitchen trolley was easy to put together by myself. Quality is good, directions were (pictures only) easy to follow. The piece is holding our heavy microwave and can still roll around on the casters easily. The size was exactly as stated. The color is a very slight off white - not a pure cool white. The butcher block top is just laminate not an actual butcher block - though under a microwave it looks nice. The bottom storage section is large enough to store a 6 pack of paper towels and the doors have a magnetic closure. Overall very happy with this purchase.
Hi purchsed this for my mother and it's a good little cabinet, perfect for her microwave. Sides are a bit flimsy but it works for her. Fairly easy to put together, just takes a bit of time. I would buy another one if needed for myself or a gift
The wheels are nice for easy move. The wood parts of the cart is constructed of plywood - not very durable stuff but it's holding up well so far. The handles however scratch pretty easily on the wood surfaces so be careful while assembling! Trolley was sturdy after proper assembling.For what we needed it for - it did the job.
A bit more complicated to put together and having a power screwdriver will certainly speed things up rather than relying on the allen wrench provided. Remember to slide in the base of the drawer before you put on the front piece. bottom shelf, inside cabinet, won't hold real heavy itmes. Overall, very pleased with this nice looking trolley.
This cabinet is lovely. Matched my kitchen beautifully. The wheels lock. Put my micro on top. My son was able to put it together very quickly.
Decent storage trolley. It's fairly small but works well for me. It had a really strong chemical smell when it arrived but was relatively easy to put together.
I would definately recommend this product - it is easy to assemble and is the perfect size for a smaller kitchen
I keep my makeup organizer on top of this unit --towels in the open space --- hair products, curling iron, blow dryer, and personal items below. It looks great in my bathroom! If I should happen to spill anything on the top cleanup is easy. Couldn't be better!
I had a handyman assemble this trolley and he did it in no time. I am very pleased with this product.
I got this for kitchen office, but the moment I opened the box I could see the poor quality of the materials. Also, it didn't arive with the necessary tools and the instructions are a pain. It was hard to put together, and the finish product is not very sturdy.

This sweet guest project comes to us from Lisa of A Spoonful of Sugar. Customise a plain notebook with a fabric monogram or image – getting organised has never been so stylish!
Iron the appliqué film onto the wrong side of your fabric, and then cut the fabric letter or image out.
Peel off the paper backing on the image. Press the image onto the front of your notebook using a warm iron. Only iron for a few seconds until the fabric has adhered. Too much heat will cause the notebook cover to warp.
Tie some raffia or ribbon around the spine to finish it off.

How was she useless in the Kazekage rescue arc where she managed to hold it up against a clone of hers.
It's not that easy to fight a clone that does the same move you do.
Or in this war, how she managed to keep the bad guys down and did pretty well with the Fan from the Gold and Silver brothers?
She took down one of Kakuzu's masks.
I wouldn't call that useless...

text: Friday lunch for belated Father's Day. A handful of tables so not busy, but staff rushed off their feet. Watched waiter dashing around half finishing cleaning jobs even though there were lots of empty tables, and no one else was arriving as it was end of service. Waited 10 minutes for any service at all. Not offered drinks. When a waitress finally came to our table she was humourless, blunt, fed up. Ordered lamb chump with cous cous and tzatziki, slow cooked beef Provencal and semolina, and an artichoke. The food was exceptional. Perfectly cooked lamb, fluffy cous cous, loads of tzatziki. The Provencal sauce was deliciously sweet, packed with flavour. The artichoke was enormous, really well prepared and came with a thick, tangy mustardy sauce for dipping. Portions on the small side (apart from the artichoke - think mini-football) but all left feeling full. Dessert menu was outstanding - really interesting with none of the usual stodge you often find on pub dessert menus - the grilled peach with mascarpone was so good I could have eaten three. Half way through the meal dour waitress was replaced by a younger version - bright, full of humour and knowledge of the menu and ingredients. If she'd been there from the start it was 5*.

Scarlatti & Hasse: Salve regina, Cantatas & Motets
CDH55354 Helios (Hyperion's budget label)
Movement 1: Sinfonia
Movement 2. Recitativo: Su le sponde del Tebro
Movement 3. Sinfonia Aria: Contentatevi, o fidi pensieri
Deborah York (soprano), Crispian Steele-Perkins (trumpet), The King's Consort, Robert King (conductor)
Movement 4. Recitativo: Mesto, stanco, e spirante dal duol' che l'opprimea
Movement 5. Largo: Infelici miei lumi
Movement 6. Aria: Dite almeno, astri crudeli
Movement 7. Recitativo: All' aura, al cielo, ai venti
Movement 8. Aria: Tralascia pur di piangere, povero afflitto cor
Deborah York (soprano), Crispian Steele-Perkins (trumpet), The King's Consort, Robert King (conductor)
The majority of Scarlatti's cantatas are for solo voice, usually with only continuo for accompaniment. However, contemporary trends increasingly moved towards the addition of instrumental accompaniments, and around sixty of Scarlatti's cantatas use extra instruments. Usually that instrumental backing is of strings, but occasionally his works also require recorders or trumpets. Su le sponde del Tebro contains a particularly demanding part for obbligato trumpet, playing in a high tessitura which suggests that there was a fine player around with the considerable stamina required to play the arias which partner soprano with trumpet. The story is the classically despondent one of unrequited love, and the form the usual alternation of arias and recitatives prefaced by a short sinfonia. The arias with trumpet are steadfast in their sentiments, and there is a brave (and partly successful) attempt to make the ground bass at 'Dite almeno' interesting, but it is the dissonances of the meltingly beautiful aria 'Infelici miei lumi' which show Scarlatti at his finest.

The people on the forums complaining about a lack of attunements aren't doing so because of a lack of lore tie-ins. Its purely about throwing up roadblocks for the people they consider 'bads' and increasing their own prestige by a more significant separation. Separating out heroic/normal raiders by gear or completion dates is lower on the prestige continuum than entirely keeping others out of the raid instance entirely. The suggesions about making an easy attunement quest don't address their (real) concerns at all.
BC attunement pales in comparison to what the old Everquest attunements looked like and it was definitely a sense of accomplishment to zone into Plane of Time for the first time. It was also a really awful sense of despair though to not be able to zone into the elemental planes for months (obviously exacerbated by the lack of instancing). Everquest finally settled on a method that to some extent worked for backflagging (i.e. attuning new people) which was to allow some portion of the raid to zone in without the attunement (1 person could be 'willed in' by 5 people who had the attunement) and then dropping a limited number of backflag items from current content to replace the previous attunement. This served to keep the unwashed masses out of raid zones but allowed high end guilds to replenish their ranks as long as they didn't completely fall apart which is really what the WoW forum nerd rage echo chamber wants.

On Thursday the amazing Lucy Nicholson - senior staff photographer at Reuters - graced our Space with her lilting British accent, her light-hearted sense of humor and an incredible presentation.
From a short film about how an organization the size of Reuters shoots a big event to her own riveting photos, Lucy gave us a lot of rich content from a unique perspective to consider.
Seeing what goes into what we end up seeing online (around the world) was a real eye-opener. Once again we learned at the feet of a master (matrix?).
Lucy even gave a breakdown of the elements that go into Sport photography and discussed the importance of all the different factors...very helpful!
She also let us see some of her non-sports portfolio.
Lucy was so down-to-earth and accessible...
Long after the Q&A was over Lucy hung around talking with lecture guests, friends and fans...
Thank you for rounding out an amazing year of lecture Lucy!
Happy Holidays everyone!

I just finished one of the Family Tree University online courses, Beginning Genealogy. I wanted a refresher because I am finishing up my notes for a class I will teach and it has been years since I was a beginner. Thought it would be a good idea to see what others are teaching.
The class was good. It had downloadable PDF files for each lesson; several reading assingments in PDF form for each lesson; and a quiz at the end of each lesson. If you are looking for a getting started type of class, I recommend this one. It does cover a lot of information but the class is held over two weeks so there is plenty of time to read through everything. Pass the word along if you know someone just getting started.

Downey at his Comic Best
WTOP Film Critic Jason Fraley digs 'Iron Man 3."
Jason Fraley, WTOP Film Critic
WASHINGTON - "Ever since the guy with the hammer fell out of the sky, subtlety kind of went out the window."
In one line, "Iron Man 3" captures the Marvel Universe with a refreshing self- awareness. On the one hand, the comics offer countless characters with compelling stories. On the other, they're catnip for tent-pole studio execs, many of whom are more businessmen than movie lovers, having never even seen some of history's most famous flicks.
Last summer, "The Avengers" (2012) marked the culmination of Marvel's "Phase One" business plan of "Iron Man" (2008), "The Incredible Hulk" (2008), "Iron Man 2" (2010), "Thor" (2011) and "Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011). It also marked the launch of "Phase Two" in "Iron Man 3" (2013), "Thor: The Dark World" (2013), "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (2014), "Guardians of the Galaxy" (2014)" and "The Avengers 2" (2015). Don't worry, Merrill Lynch has already agreed to fund "Phase 3," at which point the transformation from Hollywood to Wall Street will be complete. I guess "greed is good."
Needless to say, this strategy was a ripe target for a young critic who, fresh off a master's dissertation and a month of Oscar coverage, was ready to take a blockbuster to task. The result was a 2 1/2-star rating for what became the smash hit of the summer and the No. 27 grossing movie of all time (adjusted for inflation). Was I so out of touch, or had the business changed that much?
Staring through the egg on my face, I remembered Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" lyrics: "Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind?" Perhaps my ratings system needed to be properly calibrated, like one of Iron Man's suits.
And so, a year later, this addicted cinephile found "Iron Man 3" blissfully therapeutic, as Tony Stark suffers from the same "Avengers" PTSD I've felt the past year, a temporary paralysis each time I see a 2012 Dodge Avenger, a dizzy reminder of the Von Trapp that snared Pauline Kael, the cold sweat of a critic's guilt complex for giving a popular favorite a resounding "meh."
As I walked out of the theater, I wanted to confirm that my enjoyment of the flick wasn't the result of overcompensation or extra-buttery popcorn. So after rewatching "Iron Man" (2008) and "The Avengers" (2012), I can honestly say that "Iron Man 3" is my favorite Marvel flick yet.
The story picks up after the finale of "The Avengers," as billionaire tech-wizard Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) works on his Iron Man suits over sleepless nights, suffering anxiety attacks every time someone mentions New York (today's escapist audiences may suffer similar post-9/11 anxiety).
Stark's insomnia causes a rift with soul-mate Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), who is wooed by biotech genius Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce). Killian has developed an explosive genetic regeneration process called Extremis, allowing the human body to heal itself, but it's not yet ready for primetime and is abused by a Bin Laden-style terrorist known as The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley).
The fresh faces of Kingsley and Pearce make "Iron Man 3" feel brand new. Pearce is formidable as the scorned nerd, who harnesses "Memento" as he creates a holographic brain map to discuss the need for a human upgrade. Still, it's Kingsley who steals the show as The Mandarin, a much more memorable foe than Jeff Bridges in "Iron Man" or Mickey Rourke in "Iron Man 2." All three are Oscar-nominated or Oscar-winning actors, more than Tom Hiddleston can say as Loki in "The Avengers."
Grounding the new cast members are such familiar faces as Jon Favreau (director of the first two movies) as Tony's tech-challenged bodyguard, and Don Cheadle as Rhodey Rhodes (a role begun by his "Crash" co-star Terrence Howard), who has since taken a sidekick role as The Iron Patriot.
The most important supporting character is, of course, Paltrow as Pepper Potts, fresh off her distinction as People magazine's Most Beautiful Woman in the World. While I'm surprised she got that title 15 years after her prime period of "Se7en" (1995) and "Shakespeare in Love" (1998), Paltrow is way more than just a pretty face here, donning Iron Man suits in trailer-made action.
Still, all this would fall to iron pieces without Downey Jr. While Heath Ledger's Joker remains the best super-villain of the 21st century, Downey Jr. will go down as this era's best superhero. His Tony Stark is smarter than Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, tougher than Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man and funnier than Christian Bale's deep-throated Batman. It's a shame that living comedy/action stars rarely get noticed come awards time, because Downey has really created something special with Stark.
If this is his last time in the role, let's take a moment to celebrate a great role for a great actor who's tackled his demons in a way Ledger tragically couldn't. We love nothing if not a good comeback story, and Downey has now been clean for 10 years. Metal suit or no metal suit, he is an iron man.
For this reason, Shane Black is a fitting choice as writer/director, as it was he who gave Downey another chance in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" (2005), a full three years before his official comeback with "Iron Man" and "Tropic Thunder." This time, Black co-writes with Drew Pearce, who's slated to write Downey's "Sherlock Holmes 3," a buddy flick much like Black's "Lethal Weapon" (1987-1998).
The buddy dynamic is on full display as Stark rags on Rhodey's new red-white-and-blue alias and mocks his idolizing fans, from an adult fanboy to an impressionable young kid who's lost his father ("Dads leave. No need to be such a pussy about it"). The latter provides some of the funniest exchanges I've seen in a while, as Downey Jr. puts the "comic" in comic, delivering what James Franco couldn't in "Oz: The Great and Powerful" (2013), remaining lovable despite being a total smart-ass. The comic tone is there from the start, as Downey stumbles over his words in opening narration.
While Black keeps us laughing, he also keeps us guessing, from major plot twists to minor fake-outs via cool new gadgets. The pieces of Tony's iron suit not only fly onto his body automatically, they can be operated via remote-control, flipping our expectations as to whether he's actually in harm's way.
The script also allows Stark to do some legit detective work, interviewing a suspect's mother in a honky-tonk and visiting the site of a deadly street explosion, where incinerated victims cast horrific human shadows on a wall, chillingly reminiscent of the Boston Marathon bombing.
In this light, "Iron Man 3" features a surprising level of social commentary, unveiling the theatricality of media-savvy terrorists who use fancy videos as marketing tools. In one video, The Mandarin addresses his audience as "ladies, children, sheep." In another, he describes Chinese fortune cookies as an American invention: hollow, filled with lies and leaving a bad taste in the mouth. The symbolism of this statement will make sense after you've seen the movie.
When it comes to the film's biggest action sequence, dare I say that "Iron Man 3" beats "Olympus Has Fallen" at its own game with a "make or break" Air Force One attack. The sequence plays out triumphantly, thanks to Black's use of actual parachute stunt teams, rather than the CGI helicopter raid on Stark's mansion or the flashy finale that's a little kiss kiss and a lot bang bang.
Thankfully, there's more magic realism in "Iron Man" than straight fantasy. While Joss Whedon's extra-terrestrial wormhole is better matched for the mythic Thor, real-world villains are better suited for Iron Man, who made his money on defense contracting and draws his "super powers" from technology.
Black gets this right in a scene where Stark signs a letter "The Mechanic." He gets it wrong in another scene by introducing a "fire-breathing" villain. Like your mom said, before you go out the door to a party, take off the last thing you put on. Sometimes less is more.
Overall though, Black gets back to what made the franchise great to begin with: Real characters dealing with real-world problems that they often created themselves by forsaking personal relationships in pursuit of celebrity fame and superhero mid-life crises. The film ignores "Crystal Skull" temptations to become a powerful "Last Crusade" and a far better "threequel" than "Superman III" (1983), "Batman Forever" (1995), "X-Men: The Last Stand" (2006) and "Spider-Man 3" (2007).
Of course, "Iron Man 3" isn't exactly the third -- it's the fourth if you count "The Avengers" -- but the film goes out of its way to avoid talking about that movie, no matter how much the fans beg.
Take note, Marvel: This is the direction you need to go. Treat each movie as its own "stark" journey with its own distinct character arc, not a collection of all-stars teasing to the next phase of a studio business plan. As Stark says at the end, initiate the "clean slate" procedure.
As the final fireworks exploded, I felt a warm calm wash over me as Black nobly wrapped up Downey's journey in narration that served as metaphor for the series: "You start with something pure ("Iron Man"), then come the mistakes ("Iron Man 2") and the compromises ("The Avengers"), but this is the best I've had in years" ("Iron Man 3").
Check your mind at the door. Go have fun. It could be the last time to enjoy Downey quite like this.

An interview with key executives of Duke-American Transmission Co.: Phillip Grigsby, president, and Randy Satterfield, executive vice president. Both also sit on DATC's Board of Managers.
CIOs Under Pressure
IT officers are getting more efficient, but guess what keeps them up at night?
department-wide benefits, which means consolidating our data centers, e-mail networks, and getting us into a DHS network. A lot of reports from the IG focused around getting us to do that.
A second area is cyber-security. Not federal or national cyber-security, but focus on the 22 departments—and particularly those seven I mentioned earlier—the systems that they operate on. The data, the networks, the applications, the configuration controls, the training, the testing, all of those things. We document the statuses. If there are weaknesses, we put milestones in place to correct those weaknesses. A lot of those weaknesses are what the IG writes about in its reports. We make sure that every one of those IG items that relates to cyber-security is documented as a weakness, is accountable to a system owner, and that they have a plan in place to correct that.
The third area is the alignment of our architecture with our budget and with our appropriations and our planning. We put together budgets based on our O&M and where we would like to move certain systems or develop things based on what we believe is a return on investment. Or it may be a law or a White House mandate that says we need to do something. So we put budgets around that. Those are vetted and approved by the president. The president puts the budget out, that goes to the Hill, and they do their wrestling between the House and the Senate.
We get back an appropriation and have to execute it, because that's the law. As you might expect, you have to manage the projects and architecture within those budgets. We're trying to get that in alignment to the systems that we have so we have greater predictability and flexibility in the impacts of a budget on our appropriation process. It's bookkeeping, but it's really giving us data to manage. We want to improve that.
We want to improve information-sharing as well. A lot of that has to do with getting our information and the classification of that information. We're dealing with public information, information that's sensitive but unclassified. It involves collapsing a lot of networks that we have where usership has dwindled. We still have contracts on those that were transferred when the department was created. We're going to phase those out. We're going to migrate the users, build a bigger community, build better content, build a more reliable network, and extend that.
It's certainly a process and not an event. Most companies that acquire as much as DHS did take years to do that. They don't acquire 22 different companies in a year. We did, and we merged them. You're going to have a lot of different ledgers, payable systems, accounting systems—that's our week, trying to rationalize that and bring that to the bottom line, with better performance on the other end.
Fortnightly: Is there anything you want to add on integration between new and legacy systems?
Charbo: That's what we do every day. There isn't a CIO council meeting where we don't try to home

Before arriving World Heritage Puebla, we visit historic Cholula, once second only to the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan (modern Mexico City). The great city stood at the foot of what appears to be an earthen hill that is, in fact, the largest pyramid ever built, covering over 46 acres and spanning an incredible 405 meters on each side! In addition to this great construction dedicated to Quetzalcoatl, the city had a reported 365 temples. We explore the archaeological site and then head to Puebla, where we have lunch (not included). Afterwards we enjoy a walking tour and dinner.
From January 2015 we we expect the itinerary to change back to the below: MEXICO CITY TO MORELIA
Meet up with your fellow travelers and Tour Manager in Mexico's sprawling capital, before we hit the road and travel to Spanish flavored Morelia.
This gorgeous town is all about colonial heritage. Packed with 16th and 17th century buildings, archways and cute little plazas, Morelia's picturesque center comes with plenty of character and charm. Learn about its background as one of Mexico's first Spanish cities on a walking tour of the UNESCO World Heritage listed centre.
You'll also see the birthplace of the Mexican revolutionary, Morelos, after whom the town is named. We check out Morelia's sweets and handicraft market, where there's a chance to pick up some of its famous candy as a tasty souvenir. Tonight, we'll see the stunning cathedral lit up under night lights and watch the pretty fireworks display. Your Tour Manager will give you the background on the building's mix of styles and intricate decorations.
Later, get to know the group and your Tour Manager over dinner in a local restaurant that overlooks the central plaza. Try out the tasty specialties of this region, like the famous fruit gazpacho (a cold soup made up of fruits like pineapple, mango and watermelon, topped off with lime juice).
Hotel Dinner

- Dinner in World Heritage Puebla
We depart Puebla for Cuernavaca for the Pueblo Magico of Tepoztlan, a longtime home base among precipitous cliffs and temples of the Nahua people. The town is venerated as the birthplace of Aztec serpent god Quetzalcoatl. We explore the town center on foot and then continue onward to Cuernavaca, established by the Olmec over three thousand years ago. We visit the cathedral and then it is time to explore on your own, optionally you can visit the fortress that Cortes built atop an ancient pyramid before a night out in this college town "of the eternal spring."
From January 2015 the itinerary will change back to the below: MORELIA TO IXTAPA VIA ZIHUATANEJO
Head out West to the Mexican Riviera, which overlooks the Pacific Ocean. We stop for lunch on one of Mexico's most stunning beaches, Playa la Ropa. It's dotted with palm trees and is a perfect spot for water sports like parasailing and jet-skiing.

Tonight, we stay in the modern resort town of Ixtapa.
Hotel Breakfast,Dinner
Today, we head to the popular resort and Mexico's original party town, Acapulco. With its gorgeous bay and stunning villas, you'll soon understand why this is a traditional stomping ground for the rich and famous and why people like Sinatra, Elvis and JFK used to come here. After the sun goes down, watch the famous daredevil cliff divers. They'll jump a heart-stopping 25 or 35 meters from the sheer cliffs surrounding the bay into a tiny cove. Tonight, honor Acapulco's reputation and dive into the nightlife action. With salsa clubs, meringue bars, discos and nightclubs, there's something for everybody here

Your Tour Manager can even help you sort out a boat for hire if you want to get out on the water and do a bit of fishing.
Turn the energy levels up with an optional horse ride along the beach, then maybe go for a late night stroll through the luxurious hotel district and get a taste of the high life. Dance the night away at one of the nightclubs or grab a quiet drink at a local bar.
Hotel Breakfast,Dinner

Keep an eye open for VW Beetle taxis and check out the stunning Santa Prisca Cathedral on the central square. Pull up a table at an outside café, where you can sit back with a beer and take in the colonial architecture. Maybe try some pozole (pork and vegetable stew).
With a tradition in silver going back to before the Spanish Conquest, Taxco is the perfect place to pick up some jewellery. Your Tour Manager will organize a silver demonstration and give you tips on the best places to buy. Then rummage through the many platerias (silver shops) and find some great presents for back home.
Hotel Breakfast,Dinner

This morning we return to the chaotic capital, Mexico City. This metropolis fuses the festive, the ancient and the quirky. First up: a visit to Xochimilco canals and markets. Board our own brightly colored flat bottom boat and cruise along the canals, past gardens and floating Mariachi bands. Vendors jump from boat to boat with souvenirs, so you can kick back and shop while you ride along the canals.
Then we head to the historic heart of the city, where ancient civilization, political power and religion combine around the enormous Zocalo (central square). Get inspired as our expert Local Guide uncovers the nation's core spots and shows off this living time line. Step inside the largest cathedral in Latin America and learn why the tilting Catedral Metropolitana is a spiritual hub for Mexicans. Get up close to Mexico's Aztec past as you explore the bare ruins around Templo Mayor. Our Local Guide will peel back the layers and explain how a new temple was built here every 52 years, one on top of the other.
If you're keen, you can go into the Temple Mayor for a closer look. See the sinking Palacio Nacional (National Palace), home to the Mexican government. Enjoy a crash course in this country's history by checking-out Diego Rivera's famous murals that decorate the palace walls. These colorful paintings tell the story of Mexico in a nutshell, from the nation's mythical beginnings to the early 20th century.
Tonight, go out and explore and feast on Mexican specialities then wash it all down with some tequila, Mexico's national drink.
Hotel Breakfast

We turn back the clock this morning with a trip to Teotihuacan, the largest archaeological city ever to exist on the American continents. Climb the impressive pyramids and imagine how this was once central America's greatest city.
Our Local Guide will fill you in on the Teotihuacanos beliefs and rites as you walk around the site and see the Sun and Moon Temples. This afternoon, discover another side of vibrant Mexico City with a visit to the easy-going, old barrio (neighborhood) of Coyoacan. Take in the old colonial mansions, fountains and quiet squares of this cultural quarter. See the paired studios of artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera and maybe visit Frida Kahlo's famous Blue House, which is filled with colorful art, pre-Hispanic artifacts and a beautiful garden.
In your free time, live a slice of the local lifestyle and head to the Coyoacan Markets – the buzzing food stalls are perfect for trying authentic Mexican food, like a torta (Mexican sandwich), enchiladas and tacos. Shopping-wise, this town has it all, from big brands to bargains. Get some tips from your Tour Manager before you splurge. Rummage through the colorful La Merced, the largest market in the city. See piles of dried chillies, tropical fruits and other vibrant food displays as well as local crafts.
Otherwise, walk the streets and get a feel for the city's bustling street life, where cafes spill out onto the pavements, pushcart kitchens cook up fantastic food and sidewalk vendors sell anything from t-shirts to jewelery. Take a break and taste Mexican coffee in a traditional coffeehouse or sip on some tropical juice at a jugeria (juice bar). If you're hungry, try a rosticeria for some crispy roast chicken Mexican style or a hole-in-the-wall taqueria for a burrito. For something different, find out if there is lucha libre (Mexican masked wrestling) on while you're in town and go check out a match.
For a dose of culture, walk through Mexican history with a visit to the famous Museo Nacional de Antropologia (Museum of Anthropology). It has an incredible collection of artifacts, starting from pre-historic times. The museum grounds are also great for taking a break from the buzzing down town area, so hang out in the gardens, read beside the lake or check out the zoo.
Hotel Breakfast,Dinner
- Guided tour of the ancient Aztec city of Teotihuacan
Your tour ends after breakfast and it's time to say farewell to your new friends.

"I really enjoyed this reading - I am currently in a very strange place regarding my career and really needed some clarification and guidance. The reading has helped and I felt it was accurate regards how I am in the workplace and what kind of jobs I prefer - especially the mental rather than physical. I have tried physical work rather than intellectual work but definitely prefer the intellectual type. I did think this reading would be good to give to employers (or employers could do with using these readings for assessing their workforce)."

"Kinda silly to invest $25 in reassuring oneself of what you already know, but it was for fun and it helped me to feel better about myself. It is pretty right on and has illuminated some areas that tend to be very difficult to choose a side. I have taken many career path tests etc. and I always have trouble with the answers because I am both of them so many times! This reading clarified and explained why that is. I have a second interview tomorrow and I am glad I can go in there that much more confident in what I can and cannot do."
