Date — 28 August, 2013
Abu Dhabi, 1 September 2013 – Following its recent series of boutique openings around the world, notably in Rome, Swiss luxury watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen has selected Abu Dhabi as the destination for its newest boutique. Situated in Abu Dhabi's leading luxurious shopping arena, the boutique in The Galleria, which is located in the heart of Al Maryah Island, welcomes visitors to explore the world of haute horlogerie with IWC's iconic timepieces.
Al Maryah Island is a key East-meets-West destination within the capital of the United Arab Emirates and home to leading five-star hotels as well as commercial and residential towers. "This opening is very special for us: it not only reflects our unique identity and provides an exceptional customer experience, but also marks our commitment to the region. We are looking forward to welcoming our guests in this contemporary location and inviting them to experience IWC's spirit and philosophy," explains Karoline Huber, Brand Director of IWC Middle East & India.
The IWC boutique's impressive façade portraying the worlds of engineering and navigation invites guests on a journey to discover the six legendary watch families. The voyage goes on upon entering the boutique: customers can discover the fascination of aviation that accompanies the Pilot's Watches, then delve into the world of Aquatimer, travel to Portofino and finally experience the world of ingenuity in the Da Vinci universe. Each family has a dedicated space decorated with hand-picked accessories, books and pictures inspired by their respective universes. Dark woodwork, sumptuous rugs and stunning chrome materials contrast with sober shades of black, white and grey to define and enhance the warm surroundings. Blending an inviting ambiance with a high quality of service, the new boutique is the ideal place for watch connoisseurs to appreciate a top selection of boutique-exclusive pieces.

Amidst the iconic and boutique-exclusive timepieces on display, the new boutique particularly showcases IWC's Portuguese Grande Complication (Ref. 3774). Featuring a host of the greatest achievements in watchmaking, the striking timepiece includes a perpetual calendar that has been mechanically programmed until 2499, a perpetual moon phase display and a chronograph. Paying homage to the elitism of the crew on Vasco Da Gama's flagship that inspired it all, the Portuguese Grande Complication is the epitome of watchmaking's most intricate and outstanding accomplishments.

Submitted by numatrix
numatrix writes "For only the second (public) time in 10 years, OpenBSD has a remotely exploitable vulnerability. To be fair, it's limited in scope unless you're running on a native IPv6 network, but still a serious exposure. Also worth noting, it looks like there were a few problems in the responsible-disclosure practices."

Want to purchase or trade Brugmansia cuttings.
ben773(5a)September 3, 2010
I'm looking to purchase or trade fragrant pink (like Frosty Pink or Ecuador Pink etc) and white (Supernova etc) Brugmansia cuttings. I'm starting to build a collection, so, I'd rather purchase, as I don't have many cultivars to trade. I do have Clivias if you are interested. Thanks!

The price of naloxone, a drug that can reverse a drug overdose, has skyrocketed. That's affecting efforts to prevent overdose deaths. Michelle MacKenzie runs an overdose prevention program at the Miriam Hospital. She says when her program started buying and distributing the injectable overdose rescue drug naloxone, in 2006, it cost about a dollar a vial. Today it's $15 a vial.
"So if we had to pay $15 a vial, I mean, last year we distributed upwards of 800 kits, which is 1600 vials of naloxone. We would have been like, 200. I mean, think about that," said MacKenzie.
Rhode Island health officials have rolled out a new campaign against drug addiction. The campaign debuts as the state faces more grim statistics: 232 Rhode Islanders died from apparent accidental drug overdoses in 2014, the same number as in 2013.
You may see their faces on buses, or hear their voices in public service announcements. They're people in recovery from addiction. They include Jonathan Goyer, a former addict turned recovery counselor. He said it will take more than advertising to fight drug addiction.
At a public hearing yesterday at the Dept. of Health, doctors, dentists, physician assistants, and advanced practice nurses voiced their opposition to the department's proposed regulations governing the prescribing of opioids. The new rules would require prescribers to sign a fairly lengthy agreement with patients, alerting them to the risks of taking prescription painkillers like OxyContin and Vicodin, and agreeing to certain kinds of monitoring. Many health care providers feel these agreements aren't necessary and that, in fact, they're patronizing.
What do you think?
Rhode Island health officials are considering new regulations governing how health care providers prescribe painkillers. So far this year, 212 Rhode Islanders have died from accidental drug overdoses, most involving opioids, according to the health department.
Rhode Island and Connecticut are now able to share prescription drug data across state lines. Linking the states' prescription drug monitoring programs is designed to help doctors spot possible abuse and addiction.
Addiction usually leaves a wake of chaos, and all kinds of casualties - marriages, jobs, health. Most tragically, the current crisis of opioid addiction (to prescription painkillers and heroin) in Rhode Island has cost too many lives. Well over 160 Rhode Islanders have died from accidental opioid overdoses so far this year. Hundreds more might have joined them had it not been for the rescue drug naloxone.
The state health department has just published some striking data on numbers of prescription painkillers, stimulants, and other controlled substances prescribed in Rhode Island over a 10 year period.
In January 2014, according to the health department, 1.8 million doses for painkillers were filled in Rhode Island. The numbers have been on a steady incline for 10 years. Check out the red line, below.
CVS Caremark will be joining Walgreens in allowing pharmacists to dispense a life-saving antidote for drug overdoses, without a prescription. That means that soon Narcan will be much more widely available throughout the state.
Rhode Island Hospital drug abuse epidemiologist Traci Green has been working with a statewide overdose prevention task force to get Narcan – also known as naloxone—into as many hands as possible. The drug can rescue someone who has overdosed on an opioid like heroin or prescription painkiller OxyContin.
Local efforts to prevent drug overdose deaths could get a boost, if Congress passes new legislation to expand funding to such programs.
Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) introduced a bill that would make funding available to community organizations and public health agencies to buy and distribute naloxone, or Narcan. That's a life-saving drug that can reverse an overdose on prescription painkillers or heroin.
A reported surge in the number of children removed from their homes because of abuse or neglect is raising concern across the state. Addiction is a major cause.
Chris Dorval manages programs at an addiction treatment facility called Clinical Services of Rhode Island. Dorval says that over the past couple of years, he's treated a growing number of clients whose children have been removed from their homes. But Dorval said he thinks there's more to it than just the increasing number of people addicted to opioids like heroin and prescription painkillers.

Listen to Amazing Michael Jackson 'Beat It' Vocal Demo
This pretty killer 'Beat It' vocal demo by Michael Jackson offers some keyhole insight into how the late King of Pop wrote and arranged songs.
This pretty killer 'Beat It' vocal demo by Michael Jackson offers some keyhole insight into how the late King of Pop wrote and arranged songs.
'Xscape,' a posthumous new Michael Jackson album, is due out May 13. Wait, what? How is this possible? Well, L.A. Reid and Epic Records have "contemporized" songs from the Jackson vault, with complete permission and support from the late King of Pop's estate.
UPDATE: Britney Spears won this round! Vote for her in the finals by clicking here.
Welcome to March Music Madness! Here at PopCrush, we've selected 32 of the most iconic pop songs released from the '80s to today (divided into brackets by decade) — and now it's your job to vote and decide which song will be named the Greatest Pop Song of the Modern Era. May the best song win!
It's Round 4 of our Greatest Pop Song of the Modern Era tournament, and the competition is getting tight! Last round, Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' beat out Cyndi Lauper's 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun,' making it the fan favorite for the '80s bracket. MJ will face off against the winner of the '90s bracket, Britney Spears. In Round 3, Brit's 'Baby One More Time' barely bested the Backstreet Boys with 51% of the votes. Between Michael and Britney, who will move to the final round of voting?
It's a battle for the best song of the 1980s, as Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' takes on Cyndi Lauper's 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' in our March Music Madness tournament. They topped tunes from Madonna, Prince, U2, Paula Abdul, Bon Jovi and Janet Jackson to face off for the title of Greatest Pop Song of the Modern Era.
Things are heating up in the second round of March Music Madness, as the most iconic tracks by the most iconic artists of the 1980s go head to head to win your votes for the title of Greatest Pop Song of the Modern Era. Famous frenemies born just 13 days apart, the King of Pop and the Material Girl take on each other with the dance-pop singles that made them global sensations.
March Music Madness is in full swing, with your votes determining which tune will be named the Greatest Pop Song of the Modern Era. For this round, it's truly a battle royal, with music royalty (the King of Pop) pitted against music royalty (Prince).
Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber -- the King of Pop and the reigning crown prince who many think (or thought) is in line to inherit MJ's crown -- have a lot in common. Apparently, the Biebs relates to how Jackson was persecuted and put upon by the media, thanks to a photo he posted on his Instagram.
After serving two years of a four-year sentence for his role in the death of Michael Jackson, Dr. Conrad Murray is now a free man. Murray was released from Los Angels County jail with a sheriff's escort on Monday (Oct. 28).
Earlier today (Oct. 2), a jury ruled in the case brought against concert promoter AEG Live regarding its alleged negligence related to the untimely death of Michael Jackson.
The King of Pop and its crown prince --that'd be the late and much-missed Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber -- collaborated on a song called 'Slave 2 the Rhythm,' and it's almost too much pop awesomeness to handle. You'll be left clutching that ticker in your chest, since it sounds exactly like what you'd expect a Jackson-Biebs collabo to sound like.

Rockets extend Wizards' losing streak to 16
HOUSTON (AP)—The Houston Rockets weren't great on Tuesday night, but pretty good was enough to beat a Washington Wizards team that hasn't won in more than a month.
Rookie Chase Budinger(notes) hit a go-ahead jump shot with 28 seconds remaining and made two free throws to help the Rockets escape with a 98-94 win over the struggling Wizards.
The win breaks a four-game skid for the Rockets and extends Washington's team-record losing streak to 16 games.
"It was harder than we expected, but we were very short-handed," Houston's Luis Scola(notes) said. "Washington was trying to get a win to stay away from the losing streak. They played hard. They were hitting shots, so we had to dig a little bit deeper in order to get the win."
In this matchup of banged-up and undermanned squads, it seemed for most of the game that neither team would pull away. The Rockets finally did, thanks to Budinger's career-high 24-points, to win their first game since Kevin Martin(notes) has been out of the lineup with a sore shoulder.
Budinger's jumper made it 94-92 and he added the free throws after a missed 3-point attempt by Earl Boykins(notes).
"He bailed us out tonight," Rockets coach Rick Adelman said of Budinger. "Ran that play perfectly. I told him to bank it and he banked it."
Budinger said hitting a couple of layups early, helped build his confidence for success later in the game.
Mike Miller(notes) cut the lead to two points with a tip-in with five seconds left, but Kyle Lowry(notes) made two free throws to secure the win.
Andray Blatche(notes) scored 31 points and had 10 rebounds to lead the Wizards and Miller added 14 points and 12 rebounds.
About the only bit of good news for the woeful Wizards is that they have one more chance, on Wednesday at New Orleans, to avoid a winless March. Their last victory came on Feb. 28 against the New Jersey Nets, a team that's won just 10 games this season.
"We were right there but couldn't get the job done," Wizards coach Flip Saunders said. "We've been in games like that all season and that's what's very frustrating."
Houston trailed by five points with about four minutes left before Luis Scola made two quick baskets to cut the lead to 89-88. Boykins was fouled on a 3-point attempt, but made just one of the three shots to make it 90-88.
Budinger tied it moments later with a jump shot before two free throws from Boykins put Washington back on top with almost two minutes remaining.
Lowry, who finished with 17 points, tied the game at 92-all, with his jump shot seconds later.
It was tied at 80-all with 8 1/2 minutes remaining before Washington scored six straight points, with four from JaVale McGee(notes), to pull ahead 86-80.
"I'm going to take full responsibility for the loss," Blatche said. "I made tough decisions down the stretch and I didn't rely on my teammates … I tried to do things I shouldn't. I thought there was no way we could lose that game. I need to show more trust in my teammates."
Houston got 16 points from Scola and 14 points from Jermaine Taylor(notes). Aaron Brooks(notes) added 11 points and had 11 assists for the Rockets.
Both teams have been hampered by missing and injured players this season.
Houston has been without star center Yao Ming(notes) all season and has recently been missing Martin and Shane Battier(notes) as well as role players Jared Jeffries(notes) and David Andersen(notes) because of injuries. Martin, who missed his third straight, is the team's highest scorer, having averaged almost 22 points a game since being traded to Houston in the three-team deal that sent Tracy McGrady(notes) to the Knicks.
The Wizards are missing a similar number of players, led by star guard Gilbert Arenas(notes), who is suspended for the season because of a gun charge that recently got him sentenced to 30 days in a halfway house and two years' probation. They're also missing Josh Howard(notes), who has a torn ACL, Randy Foye(notes), out for at least seven to 10 days with a wrist injury and Al Thornton(notes) who has a hip flexor.
The Rockets scored the first five points of the third quarter to tie it at 53-all. The game was tied four times after that in the quarter before a jump shot by Blatche gave Washington a 67-65 lead entering the fourth quarter.
The teams exchanged the lead several times in the first half, but the Wizards outscored Houston 7-2 in the last 3 1/2 minutes of the second quarter to lead 53-48 at halftime.
Notes: Cartier Martin(notes), who was signed to a 10-day contract on Tuesday, didn't score in six minutes for the Wizards. … The game was tied 19 times and the lead changed 11 times. … Brooks tied a season high with eight rebounds.

Burglars nab $1000 from Aladdin's Restaurant
CORPUS CHRISTI - Overnight burglars nabbed about $1,000 at Aladdin's Restaurant, police said Tuesday.
Aladdin's alarm sounded just after midnight in the 7000 block of South Padre Island Drive and officers found glass from a busted door on the restaurant's front deck, according to a police brief released Tuesday. The owner told police her register had contained cash, and the crime scene was photographed and damage assessed.
It was one of four attempted burglaries in Corpus Christi from Monday night to Tuesday morning.
Police have no suspects, according to the brief.

Preventing Bacterial Diseases of Tomato Plants
I have some crown of thorns (euphorbia milii) that I suspect are infected with xanthomonas axonopodis pv. poinsettiicola. My neighbors have crotons that are probably infected with it, too. From what I have read, I don't think this species of xanthomonas is pathogenic for tomatoes. However, other species that are pathogenic for tomatoes are endemic where I live.
I would like to both treat my crown of thorns and prevent bacterial leaf spot on my tomatoes (which I think I had last year). I currently spray the crown of thorns with copper, which helps a bit and I sprayed the tomatoes with copper last year as I will again. I didn't spray the copper prophylactically on the tomatoes last year, only once I saw symptoms. This year I will spray prophylactically.
From all I have read, copper has some bactericidal effect, but the bacteria develop resistance over time so it is recommended to add other agents. I can buy manzate and streptomycin (agrimycin), both of which have been shown to kill xanthomonas as well as to help prevent the development of copper resistance by the bacteria.
Has anyone here ever used these products? The products are only available in large quantities, but the cost is less than my crown of thorns cost and I am ready to pull them and replant since they look so ugly. I thought I would give these products a try first and I could use them on my tomatoes, too, to prevent/treat bacterial leaf spot.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
28 Aug 2014 07:55 GMT | Health, Africa, Ebola, Liberia, Sierra Leone
Airlines ended more services to African countries hit by the Ebola outbreak that has left more than 1,400 people dead as health ministers prepared for a summit to deal with crisis.
Air France agreed to a government request on Wednesday for a "temporary suspension" of services to Sierra Leone, leaving its capital Freetown and Monrovia in neighbouring Liberia with just one regular service, from Royal Air Morocco.
The decision came a day after British Airways said it was suspending flights to Liberia and Sierra Leone until next year due to Ebola concerns.
Health ministers from west African nations hit by Ebola will gather in the Ghanaian capital, Accra, on Thursday to discuss responses to the epidemic.
Authorities in the worst-hit nations are scrambling to contain the most serious outbreak of the lethal tropical virus in history.
The UN's envoy on Ebola, David Nabarro, earlier this week took a swipe at airlines who have scrapped flights to Ebola-hit countries, saying the growing isolation "makes it difficult for the UN to do its work".
Brussels Airlines has cancelled several services in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. The carrier said it would decide on its future schedule this weekend.
The company committed to providing three separate flights to Freetown, Monrovia and Conakry this week in response to passenger demand and to deliver 40 tonnes of medical supplies from the UN.
Only Royal Air Morocco has vowed to stick to its normal flight schedule.
"Our approach is supportive rather than mercenary," airline spokesman Hakim Challot said.

Welcome to the Royal Alexandra and Albert School
The Royal Alexandra and Albert School is a boarding school for girls and boys aged 7 to 18. Our results have risen steadily over the last eleven years and, in parallel, our pupil numbers have gently grown from 530 in 2002 to 1000 in September 2014. With the growth of the Sixth Form and a rise in boarding numbers we expect to reach our maximum of 1100 in September 2017.
With 170 pupils in the Sixth Form in September 2014
we are big enough to offer a wide range of subjects but small enough
to care about each pupil. 61% of all A level grades obtained in
2014 were grade B or above.

Former editor of The Times, the late William Rees-Mogg was a pivotal figure of post-war Britain. Here he recounts the remarkable story of his life. As editor of The Times (his glory years), journalist, commentator, Chairman of the Arts Council, and, later, Chairman of the Broadcasting Standards Council (when he was accused of censorship), the William Rees-Mogg spent his life at the centre of events in politics and journalism. Often controversial, his strong, fiercely defended opinions went to the heart of the problems of the day. From his famous defence of Mick Jagger on a charge of possessing cannabis, to his recent criticism of the morality behind the war in Kosovo and defence of monetarism, his writing demanded attention, to the point of becoming newsworthy in itself. He knew the people who shaped our time, from royalty to presidents, business magnates and religious leaders, and his unique insider perspective is here used to great effect, with perceptive, provocative recollections of people such as Rab Butler, Margaret Thatcher, Anthony Eden, Shirley Williams, Roy Jenkins, Robin Day, Rupert Murdoch and many more.From an early age his life was filled with incident - among the many anecdotes are the stories of the Bristol Blitz; his doomed attempts to enter politics; writing speeches for Anthony Eden during Suez; hiring burglars to uncover corruption in the Met; an eventful stay at Chequers with Harold Wilson; how Rupert Murdoch amused the Queen at lunch; and how Harold Macmillan impressed Ronald Reagan at dinner. His colourful and illuminating memoirs offer a wonderfully readable life of one of the great characters of the age.
Educated at Charterhouse and Balliol College, Oxford, William Rees-Mogg joined the Financial Times in 1952, becoming chief leader writer and assistant editor. He then moved to The Times, eventually becoming its editor, and remaining there for fourteen years. An accepted figure of the establishment, he served as vice-chairman of the BBC, chairman of the Arts Council and head of the Broadcasting Standards Council. He died in 2012, aged 84.

Hoo Haven needs meat and dog food donations
Staff Report
Birds of prey have healthy appetites, and Hoo Haven Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center is requesting help from the general public. August is traditionally the time of year when Hoo's supply of meat and dog food runs low, and donations are needed to restock food supplies. This year is no different.
Hoo Haven is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization supported solely by donations and volunteers. It has served the northern Illinois area since 1979 by caring for injured, sick or orphaned North American wildlife. Once healthy, the animals and birds are released back into nature.
Hoo Haven is accepting donations of fresh or frozen beef, venison, chicken, turkey and fish. Note that pork or ground meat is not helpful. Other supplies that are currently needed include quality dry dog food, chicken feed, sweet feed, cracked corn, unsalted peanuts or other nuts, paper towels, laundry soap, and 30-gallon garbage bags.
Food and supply donations can be dropped off seven days a week from 9 a.m. to noon at 10823 Cleveland Road, Durand (off Route 75). If necessary, call to make special arrangements. NOTE: Never can an animal be dropped off without calling first and scheduling an appointment. Non-meat donations will also be accepted at Hoo Haven's booth in the Exhibit Hall during the Winnebago County Fair.
Monetary donations are also accepted, and 100 percent goes directly to feed and provide medical care for the animals and birds.
For more information or to schedule an education program or group tour, call (815) 629-2212 or visit www.hoohaven.org.

Yes those all sound like very dirty lines from a very dirty scene. They aren't. They are all products from a company called THAT! I stumbled across them while flipping through the foodporn list of Buzzfeed's
39 Futuristic Kitchen Products You Had No Idea You Needed
Do I want all 39 things? No. I don't like coffee and I can't afford a personal robot bartender. But there was one item that stuck out like a knife in a cold stick of butter. According to the blurb this knife would be easily pulled out from it's cold butter-bound home by the mere touch of my hand to its handle. That's because using SCIENCE! this knife transfers your hand head to the blade to allow you to cut through butter likes its…….butter. I'm a little skeptical but we also use enough butter with our business that I knew I had to get it.
But GrilledCheezGuy are you going to show it off to us in public? Of course I am!
But GrilledCheezGuy where will you be that we can see this butter blade in all it's glory.
Well funny you should ask, because the main purpose of this post is not just to plug this product that no one knew they needed, it is also to announce our return.
But GrilledCheezGuy, your return to where? You go everywhere a lot!
True. But there is only one market that is near and dear to our hearts…..and the ocean…….and the Golden Gate Bridge.
That's right folks. We are officially invited back to Off the Grid 2015's PICNIC AT THE PRESIDIO!
And a futuristic knife demo isn't the only thing that will be new and exciting at our tent. New food products. New condiments. New sandwiches.
We would not be invited back if it wasn't for your love and support of us last year so thanks again and see you in April 2015! In the meantime, keep coming back for more fun blogs about food and brieyond!

Today I went to go spinning. I had a quick breakfast of Pb toast, and a light protein shake. Was very delicious and decently light for spinning class. I hate exercising on a full stomach! All decked out in lululemon, needs to dress to impress while spinning .
Spinning class was great! I sweat like crazy doing it, I lose like a pound of water weight every time I spin. Its great exercise, and a nice break from running. I sweat like 4x the amount than running 10+ miles which is pretty amazing.
When I got home I snacked on a pro bar. My favorites superfood slam but they make other good ones to like koka moka. Back in July when we went to Florida we stocked up on probars, I really liked koka moka because it tasted like coffee, but superfood slams probably the healthiest.
For lunch I had a nice hot bowl of oatmeal, peanut butter, skim milk, and a lil bit of honey. Very tasty and healthy. Oatmeal for the win!
Later that day we went to Shady Side, and Oakland to shop around for awhile. First stop was REI, where I bought my first pair of spinning shoes! Second stop was dinner, and then to Whole Foods. We bought a bunch of really good organic stuff that I totally fell in love with. I also encountered a strange protein bar called "Bonk Breaker", lol I was tempted to by one but I decided to stick with my larabars, probars I grown to love . id give it a gold medal for "strangest protein bar names" though.

1. Start the day with a to-do list.The first item on your daily agenda should be to write out an actual "to-do" list. Put the most important items at the top of your list and use urgency of each task as an indicator of importance. Whether you prefer a printed out or digital version, make sure your list allows you to check off each individual box as you complete tasks throughout the day. Seeing physical evidence of the day's accomplishments will give you motivation to do "that last thing" on your list.
2. Put your calendar to work.Let your calendar be your guide to productivity, and not just a way to remember your friend's upcoming birthday party. Take the line items from your to do-list and fit them into your calendar where appropriate. If you told yourself you would read those last 10 pages "at some point" before class on Thursday, then define what "that point" is and assign it a time. Don't forget to set reminders with checkpoints so you can hold yourself accountable and stay on track!
3. Unplug.Very little productivity has ever resulted from scanning through profiles on Facebook. If you want to get serious about your upcoming test sign out of Facebook and turn off the TV. If you are multi-tasking you will not get the same sense of accomplishment as you do when you are completely focused on one task. Additionally, if watching the season premiere of your favorite show is important to you, then attempting to study throughout will prevent you from fully enjoying the show. In most cases that involve sustained mental effort, trying to multi-task a lose-lose situation.
4. Call yourself out.Tutor John P. of Fort Lee, NJ, says that the first step in avoiding procrastination is to recognize when you're doing it. Be honest with yourself and pay attention to unhealthy patterns you have established. If you look through your notebook and see that halfway through class your note pages turns into an elaborate series of doodles, then try to identify the first urge to you get to doodle during next lecture so you can actively resist it.
5. Create a back-up plan.Wasting time begets wasting time. Create a fail proof safety net for productivity. There are certain things that always need tending to such as cleaning your room, laundry, dishes or organizing your computer files, clearing out old documents, etc. Make sure you have a list of 3-5 back-up items outlined each week so you have the power to kick-start a period of productivity when needed. Math and Spanish tutor LeAnna from Moorhead, MN, says, "Don't think, just do!"
6. Set up micro goals.The classic saying is "the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time." When you stare at the due date of giant project or term paper, all you focus on is the end product. Rather than think of the project as one giant undigestible piece, consider it a series of related mini-projects each with their own deadline.
7. Get inspired.Music tutor Jeffrey N. from Pinckney, MI, sometimes looks to the accomplishments of others to help motivate him. "Often when I'm feeling lazy I like to go to a concert. Seeing great musicians perform always motivates me to try and better myself. Watching and learning from others, especially those who are great at what they do, is a good medicine for procrastination." Watch a documentary about a famous person in history, or research the biography of someone you admire - or better yet, someone you know in real life - to see what led to their success. Learning about the effort of others will help kick your willpower into motion and most worthy achievements come from hard work and determination.

Or, ask for help from a tutor near you.

It's time for a battle between the biggest film adaptation contenders in the film business.
With all the hype for the "Hunger Games", this calls for a face-off with the Golden Trio VS the Cullen Couple VS the Werewolf. "The Girl on Fire" may have topped the box office for a third weekend in a row, but was it enough to beat the likes of "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" in terms of box office hits and book sales?
Before romantic, sparkly vampires came to life and before Katniss Everdeen rebelled against the Capitol came J.K. Rowling's' boy with the glasses. Harry Potter came to life in the year 1997 and it continued to capture the hearts of readers worldwide. Last July 2011 marked the end of an era of approximately ten years. Yet, with over 400 million books sold worldwide and still counting, Harry Potter still beats Edward Cullen of Twilight with books sold only over 100 million. While, the Hunger Games books written by Suzanne Collins manages to up to only 3.5 million books sold.
Daniel Radcliffe who plays "The Boy Who Lived," equally holds the same acting experience with "The Boy with the Bread" Josh Hutcherson. Robert Pattinson, "The Sparkly One", garnered the attention of Hollywood when he came out in the film, "Twilight". With their film adaptations already at end, Robert Pattinson has already moved on to a post-Twilight flick, "Bel Ami" while Daniel Radcliffe had starred in a few Broadway shows and in the film, "The Woman in Black."
Rupert Grint who plays Daniel Radcliffe's right wing man in "Harry Potter" may be popular for his role as Ron Weasley but right after the fame, Rupert simply stood along the bylines supporting his fellow Potter co-stars. His fame is easily taken over by Australian actor, Liam Hemsworth who plays the attractive, Gale Hawthorn of "The Hunger Games" and by Taylor Lautner who plays Jacob Black of "Twilight."
Emma Watson would by far be the most successful of the "Harry Potter" bunch or equally successful with Daniel. Emma who has advertised for Burberry, is the new face of Lancôme and the ambassadress of People Tree holds a few trophies against "Twilight's'" Kristen Stewart and "Hunger Games'" Jennifer Lawrence. Though Lawrence earns a point over both stars for her Oscar nomination for her role as Ree in "Winter's Bone."
"The Golden Trio" of "Harry Potter" combined would still beat the trio of "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight" but fans of the respective trio still have their own say. While "The Hunger Games" may have hot the box office record against Titanic and American Reunion, it still has a long way to go to beating "Harry Potter".
With the odds against everything that is written, which franchise is better over the others: "Harry Potter" which has been the childhood of every adult in the world imaginable, "The Hunger Games" which has captured the attention of a few Hollywood stars or "Twilight" whose love story compels the impossible?

""I've got a list of corporations that have gotten out of their airplanes [because of criticism from politicians]. It is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. When you look at the time and cost savings; it does not make sense not to fly [privately]. You can't let public perception interfere with your business decision to fly. It either is a good business decision or it isn't.""
Up Front: June 2011
Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "Controversy equalizes fools and wise men–and the fools know it." When we first began working on our Donald Trump feature, it was many months and many circuses ago. Like most magazines, we plan our covers well in advance, and we had been keeping The Donald on a back burner while we waited for the right time to spotlight him and his participation in business aviation. For obvious reasons, it seemed the right time was now.
Discussion about Donald Trump can set an ordinary conversation ablaze. Every single person I've mentioned our upcoming cover to has lit up with a
range of emotions, and the reaction has always been passionate. Despite his sometimes-outlandish antics, Trump's joie de vivre definitely has had an impact on American culture.
Just before we went to press, he announced that he will not be running for president in 2012. He does, however, still look forward to taking off in his plush new 757. We are thrilled to be able to give you all the details about the aircraft inside this issue.
By the way, many of you have mentioned editor Jeff Burger's article in the April 4 edition of Barron's and the feature in the May 23 Barron's (Penta section) by Charlie Alcock, who is a frequent BJT contributor and international editor for our sister publication Aviation International News. We're proud of our ongoing collaboration with this Dow Jones publication, which began in 2008, and are pleased that so many of you like the results.
If you have not already done so, please take a few minutes to fill out our reader's choice survey about flying privately. The form packaged with this issue makes it easy to participate, or, if you prefer, you can complete the survey online at www.BJTonline.com/survey. Then keep an eye out for our October/November 2011 issue, where we'll publish the results. They're likely to include some surprises and are bound to be useful to anyone who wants to maximize an investment in private air transportation.

It was the last light of day on a cold winter evening, and cheerful chairs were waiting patiently for the evening's party to begin in this old cafe of the Marais district of Paris. :-)
CAFE CONCERTS: were traditionally a unique type of cafe, where music was offered. In the late 19th century when the cafes so typical of Paris were popping up everywhere, there were dozens of "Cafe Concert" where one could enjoy food and drink, and music. Only a very few of these historic places have continued the tradition in modern times.
This cafe concert has endured over the years, and is situated near what used to be the historic wholesale marketplace of Paris, Les Halles, dating from the 1100's and later to become the site of the beautiful glass and wrought iron pavillions designed by Pierre-Louis Baltard. See wonderful HISTORIC PHOTOS OF LES HALLES BALTARD: paris1900.lartnouveau.com/cartes_postales_anciennes/les_h.... This fantastic old market - the heart of Paris - was torn down and the Pompidou Center built in its place in the early 1970's. The farmers now go to Rungis - on the outskirts of Paris - to set up their stalls.
The Forum des Halles is now scheduled to undergo a big renovation. Here's a link to the site with maps, videos and information about this transformation right in the heart of the Marais: www.parisleshalles.fr/ .
LOUIS-PIERRE BALTARD was the architect of the famous beautiful
pavillions that served as the main market of Paris. Here's this from
Louis-Pierre Baltard (July 9, 1764 — January 22, 1846) was a French architect and engraver. Born in Paris. He was originally a landscape painter, but in his travels through Italy was struck with the beauty of the Italian buildings, and changed his profession, devoting himself to architecture.
In his new occupation he achieved great success, and was selected to
prepare the plans for some of the largest public edifices in Paris.
Baltard died in Paris on the 22nd of January 1846.
Two of his children were also architects. Of these the more important was Victor Baltard. (from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Baltard )

Growing orchids in zone 6 easy? in a peat bog.
I live in zone 6.
If i design a 6 long x 4 wide x 2 deep lined bog garden and fill it with peat & sand, and keep out run-off, will it be fairly easy to grow a few varieties of orchids, or are they very difficult to overwinter and to just keep alive?
i have a spot that gets, i think, only 4 hours sunlight.
[if there are varieties of hardy and/or native orchids, what are some suggested varieties?]
There are many actually. As you know, bogs are sunny places in general, so these plants want full on sun, but with lots of companion plants around them for support (but also not much shading). Species to consider would be: Calopogon tuberosus (also C. pallidus), Pogonia ophioglossoides; Platenthera species, especially ciliaris, blephariglottis, psychodes, lacera; and Spiranthes species. Those are the obvious ones to me, and generally the most available although you will have to dig to find them. Honestly, your bog sounds a little shady for many, but I think you could still grow them.
Others, much less common and currently not in the trade, would include: Arethusa bulbosa, Cleistes divaricata (big and beautiful), Cleistes bifaria (a small cousin), and the rarer Platentheras (nivea, integra, etc). None are commercially available as far as I know. Also, the more southern Platentheras may not be fully hardy in zone 6. Getting any of these will be difficult.
You could also try the relatively easy to get Habenaria radiata (AKA the egret flower orchid). It is a Japanese native and very beautiful. It grows well in wet boggy conditions in the summer but prefers to dry out in the winter. Simply pull up the tiny bulbs in the fall, wash them, place them into a freezer bag with some slightly moist vermiculite, and place in the refrigerator (35-40F) for the winter. Replant when it gets warm. An easy to find species from many bulb companies.
Good luck and enjoy the adventure! PF
psychodes will take quite a lot of shade. So will most cyps but ph does become a concern with them.
Most North American orchids take some research on conditions and experience to grow. Most are also expensive and difficult to find. Why not try something like Bletilla (cheap and easy, normal garden conditions with good drainage) to start and see how successful you are?
I agree with fredsbog, 4 hrs is going to be tough. 4 hrs direct middle of the day sun and additional indirect sun and you could probably do the grass pinks, habenarias and pogonias. Trial and error, go slow or it could get expensive.
can i leave them in the peat bog in winter - or must i over-winter indoors; i only want those which can remain outdoors
does anyone know if moth orchid, a white orchid, is winterhardy - it says on the label down to 40 degrees f.
if the orchid labels say something like down to 40 f, does that mean they wont make it being left in a peat bog for the winter in zone 6b?

We, here at The Virtualization Practice, are getting ready to have a cloud presence. Since we 'eat our own dogfood' with a 100% Virtual Environment, we are gearing up to move some of those workloads into a hybrid cloud. We already use some cloud resources, but now is the time to look at other workloads. Why we are moving to the cloud is three fold: how can we write about various aspects of being a tenant in the cloud, if we are not one; a recent power outage at the grid level; and a upcoming data center move. Two of these reasons are all about business continuity with the first being what we do. While we already have a cloud running within our own environment, it is time to branch out.
Cloud Computing
The OpenStack conference 2012 is full of OpenStack fans, aficionados, developers, and companies making a business using the ecosystem. However, I kept hearing that openstack was a replacement for VMware. So why is this even a possibility, and why did Rackspace and now HP build public clouds using this technology? The easy answer is to save money. But is that the only answer? What is OpenStack and why is it becoming important?

EMC VSPEX vs. vBlock, or NetApp FlexPod. Can VMware VARs "Refuse" the Offer?
• • 2 Comments
EMC VSPEX is a converged infrastructure offering targeting private clouds offered through EMC and VMware VAR's. This focus upon the channel makes this the first "private cloud in a box" that is explicitly designed for VAR's and SI's to take to their mid-market customers. As such the potential for such an offering is huge. However it is highly likely that the success of VSPEX will be clouded by EMC's less than stellar track record with the channel, and the complete absence of management software from the offering.

Citrix Acquires Podio – Forget Desktops, Users – Build Your Own Apps
• • 4 Comments
Citrix acquire Podio – Podio's focus is to provide a platform for small/medium sized organisations to get up and running with standard business function applications offered from Podio's own App Store. Does this mark the a Citrix foray to better accomodate mobility and consumerisation while stepping outside the microsoft windows desktop delivery environment.
While at InfoSec World 2012's summit on Cloud and Virtualization Security, the first talk was on Securing your data. The second was on penetration testing to ensure that data was secure. In essence it has always been about the data but there is a huge difference between what a tenant can do and what the cloud or virtual environment provider can do with respect to data protection and security. This gap is apparently becoming wider instead of smaller as we try to understand tenant vs cloud provider security scopes. There is a lack of transparency with respect to security, but at the same time there are movements to gain that transparency. But secret sauces, scopes, legislation, and lack of knowledge seem to be getting in the way.
There is a difference between outsourcing layers of your infrastructure and making the organization to whom you have outsourced those layers responsible for them, and losing all rights to change those layers in support of your business and application needs. Careful contract and product decisions need to be made in order to ensure that when you used a managed cloud service, you are not giving up the control you need to be agile and responsive to you business constituents.
Citrix has given up Project Olympus which was based on the Open Source OpenStack platform in favor of its own Open Source CloudStack initiative (formerly known as Cloud.com), which it is contributing to the Apache foundation and has re-licensed under the partner-friendly Apache Open Source license (rather than the GPL).
VMware's Project Octopus and others like ownCloud and Oxygen Cloud have stirred some interesting ideas about Application Security. Those applications that make use of SSL, nearly every web application, can make use of secure data storage for certificate verification means. What makes SSL MiTM attacks possible, is mostly related to poor certificate management. If there was a way to alleviate the need for the user to be involved in this security decision, then SSL MiTM attacks would be significantly reduced.
Quantum recently announced a 'Flexible path to Next Generation Backup and Disaster Recovery', which dovetails nicely with my thoughts on future proofing data protection. Quantum has created, with the help of Xerox, a way to have multi-tenant data protection at the level of the tenant and not just the cloud provider.

Potential Architecture fuses art and architecture in four site-specific commissions for Ambika P3 by international artists/architects Alexander Brodsky, Sean Griffiths, Joar Nango and Apolonija Šušterŝič. Utilising recycling, craft, and low-tech processes as well as performance, video, sculpture and installation, the works explore the social and material aspects of living environments during the unprecedented large-scale transformation of cities and towns globally.
Potential Architecture draws on the interconnected histories and cultures of renowned practitioners from Russia, Slovenia, Norway and the UK working at the increasingly diverging interface of art and architecture. Each has an interdisciplinary practice that enables heightened responses to ideas of how communities evolve, how social spaces are used and buildings made. Cultivating new ideas and alternative approaches around the built environment, their commissions for the exhibition indirectly respond to a growing critique on the negative effects of property speculation.
Potential Architecture is a collaboration between Ambika P3, the University of Westminster's Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Faculty of Media, Arts and Design and guest curator David Thorp.

An iteration of Potential Architecture will take place at Tromsø Kunstforening during 2016.
Tromsø Kunstforening is one of the premiere arenas for contemporary art in the circumpolar north.
This exhibition is supported by Arts Council England, Hobs Reprographics, The Norwegian Embassy, Overbury and Ambika P3, The University of Westminster.
Participating Artists
Alexander Brodsky is one of Russia's best known architects and a sculptor, who was a key member of the paper architects' movement during the 1970's Soviet era. He is renowned for projects melding art and architecture using recycled materials such as plastic bags, oil, glass and ice to create new structures and aesthetics. Famous for refusing participation in the state sanctioned production of low-quality, standardised buildings, his practice challenges ideas of of permanence, sustainability and civic pride. His best known works include Vodka Ceremony Pavilion (2004), Settlement at the 2006 Venice Architecture Biennale, and Cistern (2010).
Sean Griffiths is an artist and architect, acclaimed for his controversial visions of architecture influenced by fine art. In 1990 he co-founded FAT, the influential UK architecture practice renowned for its critical approach to art and architecture. His work challenges notions of representation, monumentality and authenticity and is exemplified by FAT projects such as the Blue House in London (2002) and the BBC TV studios in Cardiff (2012) and by his recent work as a solo artist, My Dreams of Levitation (2015), exhibited at RoomArtSpace in London.
Joar Nango is an artist and architect who creates structures relating to indigenous identity and community interaction, influenced by his Sami heritage. His work investigates the boundaries between architecture, design and visual art and has shown at the Norwegian Sculpture Biennial (2013) and the National Museum of Art, Architecture & Design, Oslo (2013).
Apolonija Šušteršič has for twenty years explored the social aspects of living environments as manifested in art and architectural contexts through dialogue with artists, architects, critics and curators, and by encouraging communities to develop their own alternative visions for urban living. She took part in Artes Mundi 5 (2012) and Berlin Biennale (2001).

(CNN) -- Veteran British actor Peter Capaldi is stepping into the blue police box as the 12th Doctor, the eccentric time traveler at the heart of the BBC's "Doctor Who," the network announced Sunday.
Capaldi is the latest in a series of actors to play the universe-saving chrononaut since the series first aired in 1963. He'll replace Matt Smith, who has held the role since 2010, when Smith bows out at Christmas.
In a televised BBC special announcing the pick, Capaldi described himself as a lifelong fan of the 50-year-old show -- "but I haven't really played Dr. Who since I was 9, on the playground."
He said his daughter, also a fan, was reading speculation online about the producers' new pick and "was getting rather upset that they never mentioned me." After auditioning in secret, he said, his agent broke the news in a phone call by answering, "Hello, Doctor."
It's not Capaldi's first trip in the Tardis, as the Doctor's time machine -- which appears from the outside to be a London police phone booth -- is known. Capaldi has appeared in a 2008 episode of the series and in its spinoff "Torchwood."
But the Glasgow native is better known for his portrayal of the foul-mouthed spin doctor Malcolm Tucker in the series "The Thick of It" and a 2009 film offshoot, "In the Loop."
He also won an Academy Award in 1995 as the writer and director of the short film "Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life."

Re: Medicine at Sea advice
I would not ignore non-injuries at sea that require care. We have had no significant injuries in almost 30,000 miles offshore but some problems with infections and skin rashes. Had an infected boil that got larger than a golf ball and eventually required treatment in two different parts of French Polynesia and Fiji over more than five months. We did not an antibiotic that was really good for skin infections. Needed to add Keflex to the kit in addition to Cipro. My wife seems to have developed an allergic reaction to fish (and no we have not been eating reef fish, only mahi-mahi offshore and she has even had a reaction to canned salmon. Have to get that checked out while we are in South Africa. At sea, these things can be quite debilitating. With the boil I was only comfortable standing up, even lying down was not good. Try that when you are on a 1500 mile passage.
Heading back to Lake Ontario for this summer. Relatively few stops along the way from Grenada. Martinique, Guadeloupe, St. Martin (must have something to do with the French food), then Bermuda, New England and up the Hudson/Erie Canal. We were going to go via Newfoundland and Labrador but June remembered that one of the kids is getting married this summer - details, details!

Shadereditor experiment
2 Attachment(s)
Hi @ all,
because ther's no shadereditor for Linux, I've wrote my own... on the first pic I've create a Earthsphere with simple dot3 Bumpmapping (I've copy Colormap and Normalmap together in one texture) One the second I've load a OBJ file, that I exported from Blender.
How does it work?:
As first create a node, a script, two or more GLSL shaders (Vertex and fragment) and textures via contextmenu.
Then load a model, create a testobject or script OpenGL commands, to get something visible.
As last run the script.
Things that work:
Load & Editing shaders and scripts with simple highligting
Loading textures
Loading simple OBJ files (via script)
Create testsphere with Tangendvectors (via script)
Draw indexed an nonindexed VBOs via script. It's partly possible to modify these with scripts.
To do:
Implement a working save function
Implement more freatures
Add support for multipass rendering.
Add a stop button for render scripts.
Add Tools for modifiing meshes.
To Hope:
Better QSA performance. (A really fast CPU or a better scriptengine are more realistic)
NVX_instanced_arrays (I need that really. That's no joke, but nobody seems to know how usefull it is...)

I've add new pic. That's a simple dot3 Bumpmapping with an additional unrealistic specular term :captnkill:
Re: Shadereditor experiment
Maybe you will have more response when sourcecode is attached so people can try it themselves...
Re: Shadereditor experiment
Some source:
For recompiling use "qmake && make" the sorce depends to QT-3.3.x, QSA-1.1.x and Glew. Don't use QT4.x with QSA-1.2.x that doesn' work.
Start the program via shell "./gl" to see the GLSLcompiler warnings and errors.
Known Bugs:
All objects should have different names, because they are used by scripts. That's not checked jet. Rename objects using F2.
Testobjectscript: Only sphere is working.
OBJ importer: LWO name is wrong. Many OBJ files use multiple Indexstreams but that's incompatible to VBOs.
Don't close the cam.
A Simple Test:
Make a leftklick on the Wold and add a "node".
Add via Nodes contexmenu: Vertexshader, Fragmentshader, Script and a Texture
Texture : Load media/2kEarth_comp.jpg via contextmenu
Klick on the Node to select it, than run plugins/test_object.js from "Scripts" menu and say create.
shader = gl.Shader(Vertexshader,Fragmentshader);

Re: Shadereditor experiment
1 Attachment(s)
I've wrote a new shader for rendering fur. The new one is able to run on any GPU that have Pixelshader 2.0 capabilities. I the reliefshader part is replaced by a single texturelookup. With the 2 other lookups for normalmap an colormap it's need only 3 texturelookups instead many for a smooth reliefshading.
The compiled version needs 71 instruction in vf40 profile and ~81 in ps_2_0

Removing Bricks - 6 PICS
After years of wondering ... We took apart most of our Floor to Ceiling FP. Now we are wondering how much more do we take down?
Goal # 1 was to remove top brick so we could (a) have a mantle above FP and (b) so we can easily hide speaker wires behind (new)crown molding for surround sound system.
Goal #2 was to convert wood burning FP into Gas FP w/blower. To do this, we had to make opening bigger by removing top layer of bricks on hearth because it was above the bottom level of FP.
Goal #3 to cover the old brick with some type of tile and finish with white wood mantle for a clean updated look.
Lessons leaned so far:
Use a chisel hooked up to a air compressor. Made it very easy. And have a spray bottle of water to keep dust down a bit.
Use eye protection, mask and have a plan to dispose of the mortor and place to stack bricks.
Protect flooring, cover everything! We did not cover enough and dust got everywhere downstairs - even two rooms away! So, plastic off the area too.
Picture of getting started:
This one I call Pondering ...
This one is "almost done .. need to remove top layer of bottom hearth for gas insert opening.
This is a close-up look of filler behind the "pop-out". We found narrow cinder blocks. The rubble is part of a cender block we smashed with a hammer to get things flush with the height we want.
This is a close up of what is under the top layer of bricks under hearth, it seems to be cement filler. The lines you see are not bricks under, but markings from the bricks that were once there.
This is where we are at today .. now what?
So this is where we are at today. The opening is perfect for the insert. The wall after repairs and painting will be ready for crown molding. We are thinking we want to remove the "pop-out" to make it easier to build a mantle on. We are not sure how to get the metal support piece out yet.
I hope this helps some of you who have been wondering what's behind your FP bricks!
