This man's disembodied voice seduces older women at undisclosed locations."Never Far Away" combines watery hotel-lobby techno with gospel-choir-style group vocals, like a viscosity-challenged mash-up of Fatboy Slim's syrupy "Praise You" and Dido's sappy "Thank You." This track suggests the hidden preponderance of adult-contemporary dance clubs, where the aging and the prematurely lame sway to stagnant ambient beats and swoon when a craggy erstwhile rocker serenades them with platitudes ("you are the words I write," "every king should have a queen," "you are the road that I will travel").
Timbaland makes some of his trademark intrusions during "Ground Zero," which interrupts its rhythmic beat with a sampled "ay!" He mercifully uses real record scratching in place of his usual retarded "wicky wicky" noises, yet he ruthlessly forces the haggard Cornell to vocally impersonate the fat guy from Gnarls Barkley.
In his rare lucid moments, Chris Cornell is as surprised as anyone at the crap he's creating.Cornell allowed frosted-tipped dandy Ryan Seacrest to unveil "Long Gone," giving this homoelectronic power ballad the dubious introduction it deserves. "Long Gone" resembles "Apologize" by the Timbaland-produced trance/techno boy band One Republic, whose recent video boasted a Cornell cameo. On September 9, One Republic and Cornell meet again, alongside Timbaland, Pussycat Dolls and some fraudulent incarnation of the clearly deceased Lynyrd Skynyrd, on the CBS special Fashion Rocks. Using the finest in live digital manipulation technology, Cornell will coax a falsetto from his destroyed esophagus.
In a cruel irony, the title song "Scream" fails to include any of the high-volume outbursts on which Cornell built his reputation before a tragic implosion claimed the innards of his oral cavity. (On the bright side, it's not another croaking dirge version of a Michael Jackson song.) "I used to think silence was golden," he repeats near the end of this treacly dribble, implying he's discovered otherwise. However, hearing any of these songs may lead to a searing hatred of all sound, leaving listeners with a profound new appreciation for that proverb.
The Amazonians value combat prowess and purity of spirit. By wrestling half naked, they pay homage to both virtues by displaying their battle-forged bodies while preserving as much modesty as their society deems necessary. The gelatin in which they wrestle is symbolic of the fluid nature of battle, a concept the Amazonians call 'akgor-gra.'
Pros: Much more comfortable than my last toilet seat, which was a transparent resin with seashells embedded inside. The outer layer wore off from friction, exposing the sharp jagged edges of the seashells, which were constantly scrapping my backside and causing major cuts and open sores.

Mismanagement of human capital combined with lack of board level awareness is a major blocker
London, February 20 2013: Research commissioned by IPsoft has revealed that 69% of IT decision makers would prioritise modernising their IT infrastructure if their IT staff had more man hours at their disposal, with many more citing deployment of new applications and configuration and installation of new technologies as key areas they would like more time spent on. The Vanson Bourne research study, commissioned by the expert systems specialist, surveyed UK IT decision makers in a bid to understand more about what value additional human capital would bring to businesses.
"Too many organisations today are failing to invest time in improvements to existing IT infrastructure, often because they don't have the resources available to do so," comments UK MD Terry Walby. "In many cases those skills exist within a business, but they are often tied up with dealing with low level tasks related to running, rather than improving, IT. This survey revealed that staff only regularly use about half of their applicable skills, so if companies looked at smarter ways of freeing up existing resources they could prioritise change activities that would really make an impact to the business."
Despite the criticality of IT not just to running the business, but to driving innovation, the research also revealed that 57% of board level executives admit to not knowing what skills their IT teams are armed with.
Walby continues, "Part of the issue is that often businesses don't spend enough time considering how to best use the talent they have at their disposal. Firstly, a greater awareness of capability from the top down is fundamental. Then, organisations should look to automation to relieve skilled staff of more mundane activities, and facilitate the more intelligent and efficient use of human capital. With early adopters consistently seeing over half of IT support tasks delivered with no human intervention, untapped potential within existing IT staff can quickly be released by following this approach."
Bob Tarzey, Service Director at analyst firm Quocirca concludes, "It appears that in many cases the wastage of skills is simply accepted by IT managers. Whilst this continues, IT departments will be less able to focus on the delivery of innovative new applications, to the detriment of the businesses they serve." The impacts of this are explored further in Quocirca's whitepaper "The wastage of human capital in IT operations".

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

Seeing as i have had some great views of other peoples gardens etc( i dont do gardens) i thought i would post some snapshots of 1 of my brom buildings ,
2 nd view
3rd view
4 th view
5 th view
and 6 th shot of some seedlings
and some more
thats plenty or it may get boring cheers every one , Jack
Hi Jack,
Thanks for the tour, great eye medicine.
I must correct you though on your statement, "thats plenty or it may get boring". Never, never boring Jack; a picture's worth a thousand words.
What are your brom. house walls covered with Jack, is it white fibre glass, and what's on the roof?
Thank's for sharing with us, all the best, Nev.
Hi Nev,the roof and the back walls are covered with white ' Solar weave (save's cost ) and the rest is in clear Polycarbenate sheets with biscuit coloured shade cloth over ,the 'Solar Weave ' also comes in clear ,its very durable and the cost is reasonable ,the north and east facingwalls have Louvre windows in them for air flow ( building is 'L' shaped ) Jack
Hi Jack,
I have to agree with Nev - it can't get boring. Even apart from the beaut big plants, I can just sit and look at those trays of seedlings and daydream about all those variations that are starting to come through. Great stuff - thanks for showing them. Cheers, Paul
Very nice Jack! I have only a few foliar Vrieseas so I like to look at other people's - and I'm envious of your lots and lots of Vriesea seedlings, I still need to aquire the knack to grow them!
One ID please. In picture #5, what neo is growing in that hanging basket (top,centre)? The mother looks like all bright orangey/red and the pup yellow/green with some red markings?
Yep you're right Lisa ,the waiting is ad nauseum ,grant you that, lucky i was born with infinite patience ,but i do like it when they start to show some colour and markings,but i can see why Bill's and Neo's are so atractive to do,but we can't all do the same thing ,did sow some Neo seed last year though (can't help myself) Jack
One hears vrieseas needs less light than other broms and I would have expected they could be the best broms to grow in European homes. Why are foliage vrieseas not at all offered in Europe garden centers (apart from standard fenestralis and nova etc in terrarien shops)? They do not have thorns, could have moderate size, even if one could argue they may be a bit oversized for window sills but they are not necessarily bigger than the very popular Aechmea Fasciata.
Your pictures make up for this lack of availability. But then you have to keep them coming I am ready for the pictures of your other greenhouses. Sure the others too..
One question. What is this green leaved pant with a branching pink inflorescence on pic #5 in the upper left corner? It sits on the bank in front of an I believe Vriesea Hieroglyphica. Even though I expect it to be a vriesea of some sort, do not knwo why :-), and if I would not know you do not keep Tillandsia, I might even guess it was a Tillandsia Lucida.
I think one day I will also try to grow out some nice foliage vrieseas from seed. You always make me have an Âappetite for them every time I see them. Have you already submitted seeds to Brom-L in Europe?
Thanks for sharing. They are very nice Jack.
Hi noid ,I will answer what i can ,first, the European market is dictated by what nurseries feel that the averadge person will buy on impulse ,much research is done for this,but sometimes they get it wrong,take Aechmea ' little harve' what a waste of time,big plant ,small flower spike , piece of junk in my view ,then foliage Vr, are slow growing and not all of them tissue culture well ,but that is because they like to tissue from the flower spike not the nodes that make the pups (their mistake )foliage Vr, need very good light and in general are quite big plants,though most of mine are not any more ,' Nova ' (now seideliana ) and fenestralis tissue well and grow from seed well ,so they are available . I have not sent any of my seed outside from Australia ,for various reasons ,but have been asked many times.The green leaved plant with the pink flower spike is Vr.' Surprise ' ( not registered yet) its Vr,' kakadu' x Vr'Favorite ' does not show a lot of leaf pattern but its a stepping stone for the next generation ,The only Tillandsia's i wish to grow are the TANK types ,have a few ,the fuzzy type i have no interest in and no room for .I will take some more snapshots of my other building later and a few from around the backyard ,am not the worlds best photographer ,some Vr foliage types would be to big ,for instance Vr ' Montezuma's Gem' flowered at well over a metre across ,but the plants bred from ' Milky Way ' and ' The Daintree ' are much more compact .Thanks for your comments , cheers for now. Jack
Hi noid,
from time to time I can see on the local flower market some good sized foliage vrieseas, Vr. hieroglyphica, fenestralis, ospinae var grueberi, Holland import I suppose. But they are in small quantities and quickly sold out. They sell three times the price of a neoregelia of the same diameter (the only parameter a non expert can compare).
I too think the slowliness is the reason they are not widely available.

Add another one to the already-impressive resume. We now know the reason Ronda Rousey was in such a big hurry to get through Cat Zingano this past weekend (Sat., Feb. 28, 2015) at UFC 184. It seems "Rowdy" was eager to start prepping for her next movie project, as Variety has confirmed that she has nabbed a co-starring role in the upcoming action film "Mile 22" alongside Indonesian superstar, Iko Uwais. The film, which begins shooting in May, is set to be produced by Peter Berg who -- for all yo read news >>

Ronda Rousey said she'd be filming a movie after UFC 184. Now we know which one. The UFC women's bantamweight champion will star alongside Iko Uwais in the new action film "Mile 22," according to a Variety report. Peter Berg, of "Lone Survivor" fame, will act as producer. Rousey, 28, took out Cat Zingano with an armbar in just 14 seconds Saturday night at UFC 184 in Los Angeles. Afterward, she and UFC president Dana White said that Rousey would be taking some time off to film a movie. "Mile 22" read news >>
It looks like Ronda Rousey already has her next film project lined up, now that Cat Zingano and UFC 184 are firmly behind her. Reports are that Ronda Rousey was going to take some time off to work on another film project, before she starts looking at a return to the Octagon, or her next title challenger. Fans looking for more that 14 seconds of action out of the bantamweight title holder, may be forced to get it from the big screen instead. But, at least they won't have to wait too long for that read news >>

The UFC's top female star Ronda Rousey looks to defend her title against the consensus top contender in Cat Zingano on Saturday. The card has been decimated by injuries, but features a co-main event with fighters from the same weight class who could find themselves in a future title shot soon enough.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at Fifth Third.
Interview DetailsOnly one interview with the branch manager. Not too many behavioral questions, mostly just questions about my experience and resume. Got hired the next day. Not too much room for negotiation, but there is some.
Interview Questions- All conversational Answer Question
Accepted Offer - Application Details
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Fifth Third in June 2014.
Interview DetailsI applied through an employee referral and was contacted very shortly after by a branch manager and set up a time to come in and interview. Interviewed with 2 local branch managers and the regional manager. Interview was very professional and lasted about 30 mins. Was contacted a few weeks later and informed that they had eliminated the position. A few weeks after that I was contacted by another branch manager and set up another interview. Met with the branch manager and the regional manager again for a very brief interview. I received a call the following week with an offer.
Interview Questions- A few behavioral style questions on how you would act following certain policies. Answer Question
Reasons for DecliningThe position sounded great and I was very impressed by organization but I had received another offer from another company that more closely matched my career goals.
Declined OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview - Application Details
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks – interviewed at Fifth Third in May 2014.
Interview DetailsI enjoyed meeting with each HR person. I interviewed with 3 individuals and it went very well however the last thing I was told was that I needed to meet with one last person. They never contacted me after that. I don't mind not getting the job but it is very rude and unprofessional to not inform someone after the number of times I traveled to interview with them. I didn't expect this from such a large company. It just shows me how unprofessional they are.
Interview Questions- It was easy. Answer Question
No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview - Interview Details
Was not interviewed. Did not go through the interview process.
Interview Questions- Was not interviewed. I was hired directly from a contract position. Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsNo did not negotiate. I felt I was offered a fair salary so accepted it.Accepted Offer - Application Details
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Fifth Third.
Interview DetailsI applied for a position online and was contacted by a recruiter a few days later for the initial phone screen. The recruiter indicated that notes from our conversation would be shared with the team with feed back to me in a week. I emailed the recruiter about a week later and never got a reply. Needless to say I probably didn't get the job. It would have been nice to take 30 seconds to reply to my message.
Interview Questions- It was fairly standard questions about my background. "Tell me about a big win you had in your last position". Answer Question
No OfferNeutral Experience - Application Details
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks – interviewed at Fifth Third in April 2014.
Interview DetailsI think it was just too difficult. To come up with examples for five years experience. This does not give a good feel for who the person truly is.
Interview Questions- They were all difficult. Asking for specific examples on a certain aspect of the job. There is no time to think and if you take too long then how does that look. View Answer
No OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview - Application Details
I applied online. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at Fifth Third.
Interview DetailsI first had a phone interview with a recruiter employed with 5/3 and then met on site with the Branch Manager and Regional Manager.

World commodity prices are up again, rising 0.9 per cent in February to touch a new high for New Zealand's key exports.
The latest lift carries on a trend of rising commodity prices that have raised New Zealand's terms of trade to a 40-year high, ANZ Bank said, a key support for the economy.
With the New Zealand dollar steady in the month, the New Zealand dollar index for commodity prices was also up 0.9 per cent in February, with an annual gain of 24.4 per cent.
The ANZ commodity price index showed that in world price terms, cheese and butter led the way in February, up 7 per cent and 6 per cent, respectively.
The price of logs, skim milk powder, beef and animal pelts were all up 2 per cent in the month.
The increase in cheese prices pushed that price series to a six-year high, while butter is at a 2-1/2-year high. Casein is at a five-year high, while sheepmeat is at its best for 22 months.
Log prices are now at a 20-year high in world price terms.
On the other side of the ledger, the price of wool dipped 3 per cent in February to a six-month low.
Aluminium was down 2 per cent to a 4-1/2-year low.
There was a tiny drop in whole milk prices, down 0.5 per cent, and seafood also slid a bit. Prices were flat for wood pulp, kiwifruit, apples and venison.

Yet another Iraq movie started shooting this week. This one is a fictionalized version of the book Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone. Director Paul Greengrass is one of the most impressive talents working in film today, and he's secured Amy Ryan, a likely Oscar winner for Gone Baby Gone, and Greg Kinnear to star with Matt Damon. Ryan plays a New York Times reporter, and the apparent point of the movie is that the Army is making a huge mistake by staying holed up away from the Iraqi public in the heavily fortified Baghdad Green Zone.One of the many problems you face when you make a movie about Iraq is this: it takes years to put a movie together, by which time you can bet that whatever you are saying will be outdated. Since the Surge, for example, the Army no longer sticks to its Green Zone-think. And anyway, the armchair generals who have been offering their wisdom to actual military officers since day one keep contradicting themselves. An excellent example is No End In Sight, which has won a shelf full of awards for Best Documentary of 2007. The movie argues at length that the American forces made a huge mistake by keeping inside the Green Zone, and offers up as an example of what they should have done the tale of the U.N. official Sergio Vieira de Mello. It's true that Viera de Mello operated within a much more open and welcoming site. It's also true that he was promptly killed by a bomb. To add insult to it all, the book on which the Greengrass film is based was written by a Washington Post man, Rajiv Chandrasekaran, yet it's a Times reporter who is a lead character. If there's anything the public likes less than an antiwar Iraq movie, it's a movie about how wonderful journalists are.

this is a list and compilation of optical illusions that I find cool and interesting. The graphics are simple so don't complain about sucky graphics or something. I'm not passing any of the illusions as my own. I would like to give thanks to those who made the optical illusions. I don't know the artist for those but thanks a lot.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
That was awesome
About 10% of them were old to me. The rest were new. I could'nt see the dolphin though, just two people making love. Very kinky ;).
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
not really bad

Rated 4 / 5 stars
For those who said horrible......
there might be some that are pretty old but hey, he made the effort to compile it.

Rated 0 / 5 stars
I have seen ALL of this illusions before, and they are very very old, did you meet internet yesterday?
So all you do in the internet is look for optical illusions? Nice
Rated 0 / 5 stars
not very good at all
Took old stuff that's been seen hundreds of times and added a couple new ones. Very unimpressed. Maybe if you used new stuff and not many many old ones it may have been better.

GLA protests against "product placement" for M$ on German TV
The German Linux Association is calling on Germany's ARD, the public Channel One, to remove the Microsoft logo from its reports on the elections. The lobby group stated that it was considering taking legal action against such "product placement in informational and news broadcasts." The lobby group stated that the logo was being displayed in charts showing the results of surveys in such TV shows as the weekly news talk show Sabine Christiansen on September 4th. Product placement has become a sensitive issue in Germany since it was recently revealed that such practices had become common in ARD shows like the series "Marienhof."
The lobby group assumes that many reports on the elections that contain charts from the Infratest dimap Institute will contain the Microsoft logo as long as these charts are displayed. The Linux Association did not accept the explanation from the public media institutes, which claimed that these charts were being sponsored and that such practices were therefore admissible. According to Elmar Geese, director of the Association, such practices are restricted to reports on sports events. He rejected the notion that the same standards could be applied to political broadcasts.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - With all eyes on Brazil and the World Cup, Broadway is getting into the act with plans to adapt the Oscar-winning film "Black Orpheus" for the stage.
Producers said Monday that Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage will write the story and Tony Award-winner George C. Wolfe will direct. The musical will have its world premiere on Broadway, but no timetable was set.
"Black Orpheus" is the 1959 film by Marcel Camus, recreating the Orpheus and Eurydice myth in the Rio de Janeiro Carnival. It won the Palme d'Or at Cannes that year and also a Golden Globe and an Oscar for best foreign-language film a year later. The soundtrack popularized the nascent genre of bossa nova.
The original movie — based on a play by Brazilian poet, lyricist, and playwright Vinicius de Moraes — was a French-Italian-Brazilian production directed by Marcel Camus and starred Marpessa Dawn and Breno Mello. The new musical's producers will be Stephen Byrd, Alia Jones-Harvey and Paula Marie Black.
"We are so thrilled to bring this classic piece of Brazilian popular culture to life onstage," Byrd said in a statement. "The World Cup is providing a wonderful international platform for Brazil right now, and we look forward to further spotlighting this legacy on Broadway."
Set against the exotic pageantry of Carnival, "Black Orpheus" tells the story of a couple who fall in love during Carnival and are forced to take a mystical journey to the underworld. The soundtrack introduced Antonio Carlos Jobim, who wrote "A Felicidade," which opens the film, and Luiz Bonfa, who composed "Manha de Carnaval " and "Samba de Orfeu — the three tunes that became bossa nova classics.
The film got some renewed attention in the past year when the rock band Arcade Fire drew on the myth and the movie for its latest album, "Reflektor."
Nottage won a Pulitzer Prize for her play "Ruined," and her other works include "Intimate Apparel" and "By the Way, Meet Vera Stark." Playwright and director Wolfe has won Tonys for "Angels in America: Millennium Approaches" and for "Bring in da Noise/Bring in da Funk."

The Shrinking Pyramid: Implications for Law Practice and the Legal Profession
April 24, 2015Sponsored by Around the same time, law firm Slater & Gordon became the world's first law firm to raise capital from investors by listing on a public stock exchange. Since 2007, other countries across the world have adopted or are considering changes inspired by the events in England, Wales, and Australia. There is clear momentum in favor of rethinking some of the most basic assumptions about legal services and how they should be regulated. What have been the impacts of this remarkable shift, and what are its potential implications for the future of the legal profession? What could it portend for the United States, the world's largest legal market, as well as global legal practice? How does this shift in philosophy both shape and reflect structural changes in the market for legal services? This day-long symposium will bring together scholars who have been studying these developments; regulators; and practitioners from law firms, corporate legal departments, and non-traditional legal service providers to discuss these and other questions. Among the several confirmed speakers are Sir Michael Pitt, Chair of the Legal Services Board of England and Wales, and Andrew Grech, Managing Director of Slater & Gordon. Please join us for what promises to be a stimulating exchange of ideas on the shape of the world to come. Program Agenda - coming soon! |
This event occurred in the past.
