T-Shirt bears quote from Jobs' Stanford Speech
Steve Jobs gave the graduation commencement address at Stanford University earlier this summer [video here]. He ended his remarks with this simple bit of advice for the graduates: "Stay hungry, stay foolish." When the CEO of such major corporations as Apple and Pixar offers some free advice, people are apt to take it. Or at least, print it on a T-shirt. Frosty Place has done the latter. I can't find any retail information (anyone want to translate the page for us?), but this could make a good gift for the Apple addict in your family.
Thanks, BC!

- Hence the 'see system,' as it is called; which simply means that the Bishop who would thus exercise his office must needs do it within definite limits of space, and where the want is greatest, that is, where life and population have met together, in the city, rather than primarily over long lines of railways and interminable prairies.

About the Sun
The sun is a star, a hot ball of glowing gases at the heart of our solar system. Its influence extends far beyond the orbits of distant Neptune and Pluto. Without the sun's intense energy and heat, there would be no life on Earth. And though it is special to us, there are billions of stars like our sun scattered across the Milky Way galaxy.
SDO studies the sun's influence by observing the solar atmosphere simultaneously in several wavelengths. The orbiting observatory will help determine if it is possible to make reliable space weather forecasts.
This ultraviolet image of our sun shows bright, glowing arcs of gas flowing around sunspots.
About Mercury
Sun-scorched Mercury is only slightly larger than Earth's moon. Like the moon, Mercury has very little atmosphere to stop impacts, and it is covered with craters. Mercury's dayside is super-heated by the sun, but at night temperatures drop hundreds of degrees below freezing. Ice may even exist in craters. Mercury's egg-shaped orbit takes it around the sun every 88 days.
About MESSENGER
NASA's MESSENGER is the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury. The spacecraft made three flybys before settling into its primary orbital science mission in March 2011.
The sprawling Caloris basin on Mercury is one of the solar system's largest impact basins.
About Venus
Venus is a dim world of intense heat and volcanic activity. Similar in structure and size to Earth, Venus' thick, toxic atmosphere traps heat in a runaway 'greenhouse effect.' The scorched world has temperatures hot enough to melt lead. Glimpses below the clouds reveal volcanoes and deformed mountains. Venus spins slowly in the opposite direction of most planets.
About Pioneer Venus 1
Pioneer Venus 1 found Venus to be generally smoother than Earth, though with a mountain higher than Mt. Everest and a chasm deeper than the Grand Canyon.
Scientists used radar to map surface details hidden by Venus' permanent cloud layers.
About Earth
Earth, our home planet, is the only planet in our solar system known to harbor life - life that is incredibly diverse. All the things we need to survive exist under a thin layer of atmosphere that separates us from the cold, airless void of space.
Earth Science Missions
Orbiting spacecraft study our home world from above as a whole system and aid in our understanding how the planet is changing.
Earth and its moon are nicely framed in this image taken from the Space Shuttle Discovery.
About Mars
Mars is a cold desert world. It is half the diameter of Earth and has the same amount of dry land. Like Earth, Mars has seasons, polar ice caps, volcanoes, canyons and weather, but its atmosphere is too thin for liquid water to exist for long on the surface. There are signs of ancient floods on Mars, but evidence for water now exists mainly in icy soil and thin clouds.
Opportunity has been roving Mars for 10 years and has returned dramatic evidence that its area of Mars stayed wet for an extended period of time long ago.
Viking proved spacecraft could survive for long periods on Mars -- paving the way for today's rovers
About Jupiter
The most massive planet in our solar system -- with dozens of moons and an enormous magnetic field -- Jupiter forms a kind of miniature solar system. It resembles a star in composition, but did not grow big enough to ignite. The planet's swirling cloud stripes are punctuated by massive storms such as the Great Red Spot, which has raged for hundreds of years.
NASA's Juno polar orbiter will study how Jupiter formed and became the dynamic world we see today. Juno will help us better understand the formation of our solar system and other planetary systems.
Humans have watched this giant, raging storm on Jupiter -- the Great Red Spot -- since the 1800s.
About Saturn
Adorned with thousands of beautiful ringlets, Saturn is unique among the planets. All four gas giant planets have rings -- made of chunks of ice and rock -- but none are as spectacular or as complicated as Saturn's. Like the other gas giants, Saturn is mostly a massive ball of hydrogen and helium.
NASA's Cassini orbiter is on an extended mission to explore Saturn and its rings, magnetosphere and moons. Cassini also delivered Europe's Huygens probe to its historic landing on Titan in 2005.
Few sights are more strikingly beautiful than Saturn embraced by the shadows of its stately rings.
About Uranus
Uranus is the only giant planet whose equator is nearly at right angles to its orbit. A collision with an Earth-sized object may explain the unique tilt. Nearly a twin in size to Neptune, Uranus has more methane in its mainly hydrogen and helium atmosphere than Jupiter or Saturn. Methane gives Uranus its blue tint.
About Voyager 2
Most of what we know about Uranus came from Voyager 2's flyby in 1986. The spacecraft discovered 10 additional moons and several rings before heading on to Neptune.
Hubble's near-infrared images show clouds and rings not visible to the unaided eye.
About Neptune
Dark, cold and whipped by supersonic winds, Neptune is the last of the hydrogen and helium gas giants in our solar system. More than 30 times as far from the sun as Earth, the planet takes almost 165 Earth years to orbit our sun. In 2011 Neptune completed its first orbit since its discovery in 1846.
Voyager 2
Most of what we know about Neptune is thanks to Voyager 2's 1989 flyby. The spacecraft discovered six of Neptune's moons.
Voyager 2 captured this stunning view of Neptune and its large moon Triton in 1989.
About Pluto
Discovered in 1930, Pluto was long considered our solar system's ninth planet. But after the discovery of similar intriguing worlds deeper in the distant Kuiper Belt, icy Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet. This new class of worlds may offer some of the best evidence about the origins of our solar system.
About New Horizons
NASA's New Horizons will be the first spacecraft to visit Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. The spacecraft's long journey began in January 2006. It will not reach Pluto until 2015.
Pluto and its system of moons are so small they are difficult to see even with powerful telescopes.

Differential amplitude scanning for retinal imaging: a theoretical study
Optics Letters, Vol. 35, Issue 17, pp. 2888-2890 (2010)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (591 KB)
A differential amplitude scanning system for ophthalmoscopy is described theoretically. The differential scanning ophthalmoscope (DSO) samples the retina with two laterally displaced spots. The signal measured is the difference between the irradiance from these two locations. The theoretical analysis of the DSO shows it offers increased contrast at high spatial frequencies and only weak contributions from the low frequencies. This enables high-gain, low-noise detection that maximizes contrast.

All Critics (54) | Top Critics (18) | Fresh (33) | Rotten (20) | DVD (2)
It's a film that asks potent questions about important topics, but will first and foremost charm viewers with its oddball humour and romanticism. Griff the Invisible is a treat.
Griff The Invisible explores the personal angle of vigilante justice, adding a unique spin to the superhero genre with heartfelt moments and relatability.
Struggles heroically, but unsuccessfully, to strike a balance between whimsy and pathos.
It's shaggy, but its modest charms make up for that.
I'm all for ambiguity in films, but it doesn't feel like writer/director Leon Ford left Griff and his underlying issues vague on purpose.
I'd take 10 more Green Lanterns over one more wannabe-superhero flick.
Griff seems a little too psychologically damaged to laugh at. On the other hand, for a drama, his behavior is way too silly to take seriously.
It tries too hard to be eccentric, kooky. So hard, it can be downright annoying.
Mopey-but-sweet Australian entry in the Kick-Ass homemade superhero sweepstakes.
There are moments of pure magic when we actually feel ourselves letting go of the limitations of the real world and find ourselves -- if only for a fleeting moment -- believing in Griff's world.
Something clicks here. Physically as well as verbally, these kids are speaking their own language.
The touches of magical realism begin to feel gimmicky. By the final frame, this romance never feels real enough.
First-time director Leon Ford has the Australian shaggy dog comedy style down pat; now he just needs an empowering idea.
A superhero wannabe fights the forces of loneliness and alienation in this uneven Aussie indie.
Something about this feature never ignites.
A cheerfully offbeat Aussie take on superhero movies.
Whether you buy the things these people do probably depends on your tolerance for adorable psychotic breaks.
It's a movie that works so hard to be quirky it fails to get us onside with the main character.
There's critical wit behind the appealingly eccentric romance on display in "Griff the Invisible" as it comically dismantles our superhero-worshiping culture.
Though hardly ground-breaking, this whimsical Australian entry is just endearing enough to stand out from the pack.
Audience Reviews for Griff the Invisible
Question: Do you ever feel invisible? You are standing there, existing in the world but no one seems to notice you or how special you are? I am positive a lot of you think this way but there is at least one person who gets you and when that happens - all is right in your world.
An Australian film I just watched on Netflix, Griff the Invisible, touched on this subject. The movie stars Ryan Kwanten also known as Jason Stackhouse from TrueBlood speaking in his native Australian accent and playing a very different type of character. Anyway, he plays Griff, an introverted, awkward fellow who sees the world differently but who also lives in the world where no one really sees the true him. Um, not sure if I am describing it right.... The whole point of the film is that we all have our own perspectives on things but there are those rare few that no one understands and they become obsolete or unnoticeable to most.
Bottom line, Griff thinks he is a superhero put here to protect the innocent which in turn makes him want to hide from others so no one figures out his secret (mission). Okay, that's enough detail of the story. Let's talk overall picture.
Well, Griff the Invisible started off intriguing and with me wanting to know more about each character, specifically Griff. Ryan Kwanten was quite adorable as the awkward, unassuming chap who just wanted to do good deeds. He pulled off the innocence and detachment from the real world in a very convincing way. It was a big departure from his role on True Blood - the overly cocky yet not so smart character.
Another element that stood out in Griff the Invisible was the cinematography/art direction. There were not a lot of special effects in this film but just enough to keep the story on the fantastical side. Also, the use of a certain shade of yellow was splattered throughout the film. It caught my eye as I enjoy color theory and know that yellow is an intense color to grab people's attention which is the opposite of what Griff wanted. It made me curious especially when the love interest wore the other two primary colors.
Besides Ryan Kawnten and the visuals of the film, I finished the film with an unsatisfactory energy even though the ending made me smile. It started about halfway through the film, the story dulled and I found myself not really interested in the characters as much as I was in the beginning of the film. However, it was worth the viewing.
Directed & written by Leon Ford, Green Park Pictures, 2010.
Starring: Ryan Kwanten, Maeve Dermody, and Marshall Napier.
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance.
My favorite thing: One character (Melody) had some great lines in it. Some made me giggle.
My least favorite thing: That the story wasn't well-rounded, I suppose.
Rating: PG-13
Length: 90 minutes
Review: 5 out of 10
Super Reviewer
An Aussie comedy starring True Blood's Ryan Kwanten, Griff is a pragmatically kooky film with little consideration for plot or character development. Instead it tries to contain its quirky attitude by subverting the superhero genre once more, adding to the list that includes Defendor and Super. It's less of a superhero genre and more of an indie romantic comedy. The superhero aspect of the plot is simply to deviate from the character's oddity up front. At first it seems to fit well within superhero fair, including big fights, large equipment, and even a latex costume. Still, it's supposed to be about a man with complex imaginatory powers and a woman with the same freakish demeanor. Griff seems to be too psychologically damaged to make sense as a male lead, and his imagination swells the entire film in a fog of uncertainty. For a large portion of the film I wasn't sure if he really did possess all the capabilities of a hero or if it was a part of his psyche. It's always nice to see the lonesome protagonist fight the odds by being a force of goodness while staying in the shadows, but here it's just more embarrassment and shame. Of course, even if he was the hero, he would be atypical since he keeps to himself and acts senselessly. At the same time his brother is dating a strange woman who meets Griff unexpectedly and she becomes the love interest. Their antics together, and their shared neurosis makes for the rest of the plot, which winds into obscurity and delineates quickly from the beginning. By the very end it's clear that it's cute and charming in places, but overall it's also convoluted, complicated, and formulaic as well. The performances from everyone, especially Kwanten and Dermody, were dramatically sound. I found the leads to be realistically strange and yet sympathetic to each other, nearly symbiotic with their co-dependency. A great love story in the cutest sense.

A fantasy love story that I found quite endearing. Fun. Quirky. Sweet. A little cooky, a little sci fi, a little romance, a little different. Well done...

Great place. Quiet. Air conditioned comfortable nicely appointed rooms. Balcony refrigerator & mini-bar/sink. Optional connecting rooms. Badminton. Nice pool. Breakfast included & served in thatched open air dining area. Terrific, helpful staff. Really felt their mission was to make our stay enjoyable. Have linkage with and assist with ordering bring-in meals from several restaurants. Football (soccer) enthusiasts enjoyed outdoor TV near pool. Only negative was the poolside lounge chairs. They were of a design with comfortable fabric against your back and legs, but connected with a rigid and uncomfortable metal bar across your buttock. Fortunately breakfast chairs were nearby.

We are now at that point in winter where we can't even remember what summer feels like, the novelty of Fashion Week has worn off (or maybe the drinks have caught up with us), and we're staring down the barrel of Valentine's Day. On the plus side, a Dallas chocolatier is making solid chocolate high-heeled shoes with red candy soles. (Paging Louboutin legal department.) Gnawing on a stiletto may not be the chicest way to conclude a largely boot-clad Fashion Week, but at least it'd give us something in common with our dog.

Overall a clean and comfortable condo close to everything! Our group really enjoyed our stay, especially warming up next to the fireplace after a long day of skiing. Definitely recommend!
Perfect getaway
The Lake House is a beautiful home in a perfect setting. Our family of five loved our stay here, and the kids especially loved boating and swimming in the lovely small lake. The home is nicely furnished, the kitchen is well outfitted for cooking when eating in, and the setting is wonderfully serene. Luisa made sure everything was taken care of for our stay, and we felt like we were staying in the home of a friend. We highly recommend this great getaway.

Fluor Connects Its Global Workforce And Drives Innovation With IBM Social Business Software
ARMONK, N.Y., Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR), a global leader in engineering, construction and project management, is using IBM social business technology to connect its global workforce, unifying its 43,000 employees around the world. Fluor Corporation is using IBM social software to empower its workforce to more effectively communicate, collaborate and spur innovation across its construction sites and engineering offices.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO) Fluor attributes its industry leadership in the engineering and construction market to the innovation and creativity of its employees who help to design, build and maintain many of the world's most challenging and complex capital projects. The ability to share knowledge and expertise across the organization in real-time is crucial when decisions need to be made at a moment's notice on a job site.Using IBM's industry leading enterprise social networking platform, employees across 60 global office locations on six continents are now united, able to find colleagues with unique expertise to develop and implement innovative solutions for project issues in diverse industries, including chemicals and petrochemicals, manufacturing, mining, oil and gas, infrastructure, power, renewable energy and much more. By helping its engineers, professional staff and construction workers collaborate, Fluor is encouraging a deeper level of innovation and knowledge among its workforce.In a matter of weeks, more than half of Fluor's global workforce joined the social networking platform, uploading profile pictures, detailing expertise and making new connections. The intranet, powered by IBM Connections and IBM WebSphere Portal, contains more than 11 news and information portals and more than 1,200 collaboration spaces with almost 2,000 active forum participants in the Connections tool allowing the Fluor workforce to be more collaborative, responsive and innovative. They are unlocking new sources of value every day."In 2012, Fluor celebrated its Centennial, prompting us to evaluate how to maintain an edge in an increasingly competitive global marketplace," said Say Lim, vice president of IT, Fluor Corporation. "A social intranet powered by IBM is transforming how we do business and creating a more connected workforce across departments, geographies and the world."
Today, organizations that are using social technology to engage and empower their employees are improving productivity and unleashing innovation to gain competitive advantage. According to a recent report, people-focused businesses generated 26 percent more revenue per employee and had 40 percent lower turnover rates.*

Brand To Brand: How To React In Challenging Situations
by Brian Grey on Nov 15, 7:26 AM
The past week has not been a stellar one for the wide world of sports. As the story has unfolded out of Penn State University, maybe we're witnessing the worst example of what "win at all costs" means in college athletics. Certainly, the horrific news surrounding the much-vaunted PSU football program has tainted what had been built up over many decades as one of the nation's top-tier college football brands.

Valuing A Sponsorship Was Never Supposed To Be Easy
by Jon Last on Nov 8, 6:49 AM
Conducting research for a variety of sports properties and brands that activate around them affords me the opportunity to look at sponsorships with a fresh and unique approach, every time a client or agency calls us in. Yet it confounds me that for such a large and potentially high profile endeavor as investing in a sponsorship or sports marketing program, few still go beyond a fairly standardized approach of assessing potential exposure levels, translating these into GRP or CPM equivalents and, voila...out comes an empirical valuation. I get and subscribe to the K.I.S.S. principle but, time-out, there's so much more ...

Sports: #StayOnYourToes
by Jim Spinello on Nov 1, 7:58 AM
It appears to my wife, kids and co-workers that I've recently been on tour, the "Digital Media Fall-a-Palooza Tour of 2011," featuring Tech Crunch, OMMA Global, SportsBusiness Journal and, most recently, iMedia Connection's Breakthrough Summit in Las Vegas. During the few days of talks and roundtables in Vegas, I had the opportunity to hear many amazing professionals in our field, but one speaker's message stood out to me (probably because it's the freshest in mind, no disrespect to the other speakers).

Not difficult to assemble; however, one has a flawed ring and bolt at bottom which does not fit tightly. Therefore, this lamp tilts slightly. I will get handyman help to make it work properly. Otherwise, I am very happy with the lamps, especially the height and the elegant design. The stone parts are very well done and look great against the wall.
These lamps are so great! I loved the color in the picture, but in person...they're so much better looking! The color of the slate is subtle, perfect for my dining room that isn't too formal. I didn't pay attention the size of the bases, but very pleased at how big they ended up being. The shades are suede like and very classy. I would buy these in other colors if available and put them in other places of my house.
Love these lamps, they arrived late afternoon Christmas eve, spent wind down time unpacking, the slate pieces are very nice and blend well with the color of my walls, I use them on a buffet in dining room, when they are the only lights on in the room it is just beautiful.
We bought two sets of these lamps for our new home. Only one lamp from each set had the necessary equipment to allow proper assembly. The two lamps that worked well took five minutes to put together and after messing with the other two for over an hour we gave up and returned them. The two we kept work beautifully and look great with our furniture but we almost returned all four based on overall frustration. I do have to note Overstock's excellent customer service as we had the lamps for over two months before we moved and opened them and Overstock took them back even after the usual return policy allows.
Looks great on my entry table. They are visually appealing and economical
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? the colors matched very well
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. good quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very accurate
the lamps are gorgeous! I love them. Assembly was a bit confusing at first but they ended up looking great in my living room. The fabric shades offered amazing mood lighting. they dim the light a bit so i wouldn't suggest a bulb under 75 watts

Sounds like you installed something fishy that has some permissions that you don't want it having. I recommend that you download Avast or Lookout and then run a system scan.

Major retailers such as Wal-Mart (WMT) and Amazon (AMZN) continue to dabble with same-day deliver services in select markets while pondering the impact of a national rollout. Called by analysts the "Holy Grail" of online shopping, the concept is still a work in progress with margins and keeping customers satisfied major considerations. Also in the game: The United State Postal Service is playing around with same-day delivery of online orders in the San Francisco area, while UPS and FedEx look for a competitive advantage.

Efficient Consumer Response has finally reached the periodicals departments in major supermarket chains -- and it has struck with a vengeance. Since actions by Safeway and Albertson's to reduce their rosters of magazine wholesalers came to light last August, the banner of vendor consolidation has been taken up by numerous retailers in alternative channels: mass merchandisers, drug chains and convenience stores. Leaders in the other three trade classes, including Wal-Mart Stores, Walgreens ...

Stuck On The Tarmac, Passengers Break Into Song
By editor
Originally published on Thu June 13, 2013 4:53 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. A flight from Las Vegas to Phoenix this week was delayed and delayed, passengers stuck on the tarmac for four hours without air conditioning or water in 108-degree heat. A YouTube post said some passengers got sick, but, quote, to "avoid a mutiny," others joined together in song: R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly."
UNIDENTIFIED GROUP: (Singing) I believe I can fly.
MONTAGNE: Eventually they did fly, on their second plane. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

DONE - Monica sent email.
ACTION: Chairs to reply to Marco requesting clarification of his use case.IN PROGRESS
ACTION: Steve: Will put all the comments on draft requirements above into the requirements spreadsheet and send out. NO PROGRESS - Awaiting latest spreadsheet from Daniel Austin..
ACTION: Editors of the requirements are directed to look at the issues list and filter each issue in a similar way to the filtering methodused at the F2F. IN PROGRESS – to be taken into account at editors meetin in November.
ACTION: Daniel to look though document and see which requirements we captured so far regarding transactions. NO PROGRESS
ACTION: Tony to take a look at Oracle submission and see if it meets base requirements IN PROGRESS –
Tony saw that it meets the requirements, but argues with the way it is currently done. Further discussions are required.
ACTION: Nick to provide spreadsheet matching OracleML to requirements DONE - see Agenda Item below.
ACTION : SRT Brought semantics question to the TAG. On chairs coordination call, he asked about semantics for/of choreography. A new SemanticWeb Services Interest Group is being formed in about one month. Issue will be sent to that groupwhen it is formed. NO PROGRESS
ACTION: Steve RT will send a one-page summary of his thoughts NO PROGRESS
ACTION : Tony to keep group updated on un/cefact. .
Tony: next meeting (techniques and methods group) will take place 8-12 December in Austria.
Yaron: is UMM a replacement for BPSS?
Tony: No, UMM is a UML module that represents a higher level of detail than BPSS
ACTION : chairs to explore with UN/CEFECT whether a liaison is of mutual interest.
IN PROGRESS (offline discussion between chairs)
5. Standing tracking items (a section designed to ensure that longer running items are properly tracked)
Requirements – next steps (progress/review)
Awaiting the editors F2F in November.
Issue tracking (progress/review)
· Major issues to report – None to report
· Matching against requirements – Not addressed during this call
· Matching against requirements – See next Agenda Item Action
The group reviewed the document Oracle-WSCDL-Req-Comparison.doc (see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2003Oct/0029.html ). Only the items where Oracle compliance is different than BurdettML's were discussed.
General observation from Yaron: The Oracle CDL is very difficult to read through, because of many terms not defined (or defined later in the document) and lack of explanations in many parts.
David: BurdettML does not assume any specific binding to WSDL at the abstract level.
No comments
No comments
Nick: need to understand consequences of propagation to external choreographies
Monica: error should also be available to external (i.e. non nested) choreographies
Tony: propagation beyond choreography language is not meaningful – external choreographies should not be affected.
Nick: do we need special protocol to communicate with external choreographies?
Steve: external choreographies might want to use compensation instead
JJ: Light level choreography does not need to change existing Web services. Higher level choreography might require new protocol. Choreography can define abstract protocol and then map it to a particular implementation.
NEW ACTION: Requirements editors to segment CR005 into a local exception handling case and a cross domain case.
Nick: it is partially met by Oracle CDL
No comments
Nick: it is partially met by Oracle CDL
Nick: it relates to 005 and 030

Dave: Choreography should not specify actual participants
Nick: Oracle takes the approach of using channel binding at runtime. More discussion is required
No comments
Nick: it relates to 003
Monica: does hierarchy mean nested?

BPSS – any developmentson TC?
Monica: New BPSS TC had its first meeting last Monday.
None. Meeting adjourned.

D'oh! Just destroyed my Crystalyte motor... and my bike

Re: D'oh! Just destroyed my Crystalyte motor... and my bike
Your picture with the red and blue arrows was worth a thousand words.
But isn't the obvious solution like this:
1) first remove the clamps at the end of the torque arm, so the axle can be easily inserted into the dropouts with a freely moving torque arm that is not attached to the fork.
2) Once axle is tightened, position the clamp and torque arm together in their final locations.
3) Finally attach the torque arm to the clamp.

Stacey Glassman Mizener
Stacey Glassman Mizener has 35 Buddhas: in the bedroom, in the living room, on the balcony, in the hallway, and in the office. She has ancient Buddhas, modern Buddhas and Buddhas on canvas. "When I see Buddha, I drop all the false pretenses and I'm barefoot in the sand, on the beach, offering the best of myself and my intentions to the world," said Glassman Mizener, who works as vice president of marketing and business development for Metro 1 Properties, a Miami real estate company specializing in developments in the city's urban core. Her collection began innocently enough 16 years ago when she was on a month-long yoga vacation to Bali. She'd ridden two hours on a scooter to get to an obscure temple when she was smitten with a huge Buddha painted on canvas. She had just enough money in her wallet to buy it, but didn't know how she'd get it home. The temple staff wrapped it up in two sarongs, allowing Glassman Mizener to ride back with it slung over her shoulder. "I took it everywhere I went," she said.
Since that time, people she loves have been on the lookout for ways to add to her collection. Glassman Mizener knew her boyfriend of three months was a keeper when he gave her a Buddha on canvas from Bali for her birthday, one he had to have packed and shipped weeks before. "This man sees me," she thought. "He knows me." They moved in together a week later. Today, he's her husband.
She treasures a Buddha her grandmother gave to her, and another sleek, contemporary white one that was a gift from her mom. Then there's a three-foot Buddha that is, at least at this point, taller than her one-year-old daughter Scarlet. In fact, even at such a young age, Scarlet has become part of her mom's daily Buddha ritual. Glassman Mizener rises at six in the morning to meditate on the beach and do her morning yoga. When she returns, she brings rose petals to place at the Buddha shrine at the entrance to her home. Scarlet is often with her to arrange the petals around the statues. Glassman Mizener has already started Scarlet's Buddha collection with a pink piggy bank fashioned like the deity. She hopes the Buddha will serve the same function for her daughter: "When I see Buddha, I snap into my best self."

I've probably made about six different versions of this song since it's original release last March... Hopefully this will be a treat given that I haven't put up a higher quality version for download before. I completely redid the drums as well as modifying the rest of the entire mixdown, but this submission is mostly for the purpose of the MAC and the providing of a quality download. :)
Anyway, give me your opinions and enjoy!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I like your other version better. I feel this one lost some of its.. charm.
I do however think the ambient background noises and the transitions were improved. I just prefer the original mix.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Very nice one
Ok so.. I really loved the intro and the outcome from the intro, it was very mysterious and at from arround.. 0:50 to 1:34 .. I was like .. "What is coming out of this .. I hope it will be epic" .. And sure I was right one time on my life :D
Awsome bass mastery and the drums were very good too.
5/5, 10/10, downloaded and fav'd :D
Rated 4 / 5 stars
It was good
I'm pretty sure I've heard the "Hollow Man" tune before, which would make sense. This didn't strike me as great, but it did have a lot of good stuff in it. I was impressed at how the tone changed through the different kinds of instruments being used. It still managed to keep the overall idea of a sort of dark adventure. That's what most audio stuff on Newgrounds is about anyway. This was an interesting song, if only to see how much the song has gone through since the original version.

Polarization-maintaining, double-clad fiber amplifier employing externally applied stress-induced birefringence
Optics Letters, Vol. 25, Issue 6, pp. 387-389 (2000)
Acrobat PDF (97 KB)
We report a new approach to obtaining linear-polarization operation of a rare-earth-doped fiber amplifier in which the gain fiber is coiled under tension to induce birefringence. We demonstrated this method by constructing an Er/Yb-doped, double-clad, single-mode fiber amplifier with an output power of 530 mW and a polarization extinction ratio of >17 dB (when seeded with linearly polarized light) at a wavelength of ~1.5 µm . The technique is achromatic, permits single- or multiple-pass operation of the amplifier, requires no additional components in the optical path, leaves the fiber ends unobstructed, and is inexpensive to implement.

Girls weekend
My friends and I had a good time in VA Beach this weekend staying at the Clarion. We all said we would stay at Clarion again. The location is great, breakfast was awesome and the pool was a nice fallback when the beach wasn't agreeing. Staff was friendly and very helpful. We'll be back to the Clarion.
Would not recommend
Avoid this hotel - average location, bad room/service
We paid for a room with "two queen beds and a sofa." When we arrived, we found that the sofa was NOT a pull-out (which I think any rational person would have assumed). This caused us to switch rooms late at night, into a room that was 1) missing a shower curtain and 2) looked like something had been thrown/shot at the window, there was a single puncture mark and the whole window was cracked. We also had to pay extra to park a second car (have never had to do this before). Room was not exceptionally clean, was missing a bedspread on one of the two beds, and there was a leak in our hallway (thankfully not our room). There are plenty of other decent hotels in the Virginia Beach area for the same price...I wouldn't recommend this one!
weekend getaway
Was very nice inside room. The refridgerator froze all of our food. There was not an abundance of hot water for morning shower. The staff was attentive and very polite.
Tautogs for dinner. Fabulous!
Weekend Getaway
Really enjoyed the stay here! Check in was very simple, any questions were answered. Rooms very big, comfortable. If we needed anything, extra towels, housekeeping was very prompt! All we had to do was walk across the street to get to the Boardwalk and beach! Would definitely stay here again.
new hotel
you have to give it rating it new if they keep it up and keep giving me good rate everything would be fine with me

Peter Prigara is the one whose dream came true. Ten years ago he built a small creamery in the Ukrainian Carpathians. Today his cheese is eaten far beyond Ukraine as well. His story is rather inspirational.
Every morning dwellers of the village bring Peter milk.
The milk is always fresh.
Peter has got milk from the half of the houses in the village at least once, there are 800 houses in the village in general.
Peter was being taught by the best cheesemakers in Sweden in the 90s. In 2002 he built his creamery for the money invested from abroad.
He needed fresh drinking water for the production and he managed to build plumbing not far from the spring.
