Bartolo Colon SP NYM 1 week ago
Colon will start Opening Day for the Mets against the Nationals, ESPN New York reports.
Colon was expected to be int he mix for the starting nod, and it appears the team will give him the nod. Unfortunately, he'll be matching up with either Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann or Max Scherzer for the Nationals, so it could require a superb outing for him to come away with the win.
Bartolo Colon SP NYM 1 month ago4 Comments
Colon may get the Opening Day nod against Washington, ESPN New York reports.
Nothing is set in stone yet, but the Mets are strongly considering having Colon get the honor. If Colon does get the start, he would be the oldest Opening Day starter in baseball since 2006 and the oldest in Met history.
Bartolo Colon SP NYM 6 months ago
Colon allowed eight hits and three earned runs in six innings against Houston on Sunday.
Colon, who had four strikeouts and two walks in the winning decision, threw 60 of his 90 pitches for strikes. Now 41-years-old, the right-hander finished the 2014 season with a 15-13 record to go with a 4.09 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 151:30 K:BB ratio in 202.1 innings.
Bartolo Colon SP NYM 6 months ago
Colon scattered 12 hits in allowing just one run in 7.2 innings to get the win in the Mets' 9-1 victory over the Marlins on Tuesday.
Colon was able to work in-and-out of trouble in lowering his ERA to 4.02 and up is record to 14-12. He will get at least one more start. as he tries to reduce his ERA under four on the season.
Bartolo Colon SP NYM 7 months ago
Colon tossed seven solid innings, allowing two earned runs on seven hits and a walk while picking up a couple of strikeouts in Friday's win over the Reds.
After surrendering six earned runs to the Phillies last time out, Colon bounced back nicely Friday night. Though it has certainly been an up-and-down campaign, the 41-year-old veteran's good performances have outweighed the bad here in 2014. That has been especially true in recent weeks, as Colon has now allowed two runs or less in 6 of his last 8 starts. He will be back on the hill Wednesday to take on the Rockies.
Bartolo Colon SP NYM 7 months ago
Colon allowed six runs on nine hits in 5.1 innings in the Mets' 7-2 loss to the Phillies on Saturday.
Colon was rolling, shutting out the Phillies through four before Marlon Byrd homered leading off the fifth. It fell apart for Colon in the sixth, as he allowed singles to six of the first seven batters he faced before getting pulled. Unless a team makes a last minute offer to the Mets, it looks like Colon will remain with the team for the remainder of 2014, but possibly get dealt this off-season.
Bartolo Colon SP NYM 7 months ago
Colon is drawing trade interest after clearing revocable waivers but the Mets' ability to deal him may depend on how much of next year's $11-million salary they are willing to cover, Andy Martino of the NY Daily News reports.
The Dodgers, Royals and Angels are all believed to have varying degrees of ingest in Colon. The Mets reportedly are willing to lay up to $2 million of his 2015 salary, though that might not be sufficient enough to make a deal or get an attractive enough package to warrant trading him as opposed to the off-season. Colon is slated to start Saturday, which may depend on how close the Mets are to dealing him with the trade deadline to be eligible for the post-season Sunday.
Bartolo Colon SP NYM 7 months ago
Colon allowed two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five in six innings in the Mets' 11-3 win over the Dodgers.
Colon earned his 12th win of the year in the start. He has now put together three straight quality starts, allowing four runs total. His ERA moved to 3.82 after the strong outing. He'll be back on the mound Saturday against the Phillies.
Bartolo Colon SP NYM 7 months ago
Colon was reinstated from the bereavement list Friday.
The right-hander has rejoined the Mets after spending several days away with his critically ill mother, and is listed as the probable starter for Sunday's series finale against the Dodgers. Colon has turned in quality starts in four of his last five turns, with the lone hiccup being a six-run outing against the Giants on Aug. 3.
Bartolo Colon SP NYM 7 months ago2 Comments
Colon (personal) will be placed on the bereavement list, ESPN New York's Adam Rubin reports.
Colon was scratched from Monday's start to spend time with his ailing mother, who is dealing with a critical illness. The Mets will give Colon all the time he needs to take care of things on the personal front, with Carlos Torres temporarily taking his spot in the rotation and Gonzalez German coming up from Triple-A Las Vegas to take his spot on the active roster.

I see far more exhibitions than i can blog (i could but i'm fairly lazy, you see.) So this morning, i went through all the photos i took in London galleries and museum in June and threw them hastily in this almost laconic post in case you're in town and bored. Being bored in London seems to be my latest obsession but that's another story.
Here we go...
The ever fabulous Science Museum has a small show about the work of scientist and inventor James Lovelock. I spotted this apparatus to test if a detector would work on Mars. Lovelock built it in his home lab in the 1960s while working on NASA's Viking Mission to Mars. It is made with an ordinary kitchen jar and lid. The detector was sealed inside the jar and air was removed via the valve on the left to replicate Martian atmospheric pressure.
Check out the Exponential Horn while you're in the building.
Speaking of wild inventions. I caught the very last day of the Paul Granjon exhibition at Watermans. It was called Is Technology Eating My Brain? and it was very very funny. It's not every day that i laugh my face off all alone in an art gallery. The show was the result of the artist's residency in the art center. He had a couple of works in the gallery (including a magnificently visitor-unfriendly Biting Machine), the rest were works made by participants of Granjon's Wrekshop. They included a slicing photo booth and a geranium survival kit.
I spent far too long watching the videos of Granjon's fancy inventions and performances:
I watched this one three times:
And I now need this book: Hand-Made Machines [Includes DVD]
The show's already closed alas! but here's a few images. And a video.
The Victoria and Albert museum was showing the short listed artists and the winner of the Prix Pictet. The theme was Consumption in all its disastrous relationship to environmental sustainability.
Abraham Oghobase photographed hand scribbled texts advertising the various informal services offered by people living in Lagos, a city of over ten million inhabitants and the commercial capital of Nigeria.
In Lebensmittel, Michael Schmidt portrayed the mechanized, industrialized food system of contemporary Western culture. From pigs standing skin to skin in a factory farm to piles of discarded food. Seeing the images one next to the other up on the wall was both shaming and mesmerizing. No wonder the series won the prize.
The exhibition closed a couple of weeks ago.
Suzanne Treister was investigating the rise of mass intelligence and data collection long before it became fashionable to do so.
Talking in the context of her Post-Surveillance Art series, she said that: "What has altered for me post Snowden, is not an awareness and negotiation of a changed condition, but the knowledge that now almost everybody else knows something which was clear as day if you did a bit of research, and it's great to no longer be called a conspiracy theorist."
I have no time for design products, except when they come with a Soviet aura. The GRAD: Gallery for Russian Arts and Design is showing all kinds of plastic toys, a dial-less Telephone, red velvet flags, retro futuristic vacuum cleaners, etc.
Work and Play Behind the Iron Curtain is at the GRAD: Gallery for Russian Arts and Design until 24 August.
I also visited The Human Factor: The Figure in Contemporary Sculpture during the press view. I can't say that was the show of my life. AT ALL! But there were a couple of works i was glad to see again....
and discover:
The Human Factor: The Figure in Contemporary Sculpture is at the Hayward until 7 September.
Gun Architects's rainforest-inspired pavilion at Bedford Square for the 2014 London Festival of Architecture.
Photojournalist Nick Danziger visited North Korea in 2013. He recorded the everyday life in the DPRK and was given rare access to cities outside Pyongyang. The story behind each photo is probably more interesting than the photos themselves. The subjects are doing very ordinary things (getting their hair done at the hairdresser, sunbathing by the sea with their kids, etc.) only it does look like the photos were taken in the past.
According to the British Council the exhibition is "the first cultural engagement of its kind" between the UK and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The Guardian adds that it opened in London with no advance publicity, for fear that the dire relations between North Korea and the west might sink the first cultural project of its kind.
Above the Line: People and Places in the DPRK (North Korea) is open at the British Council HQ in London until 25 July.
I spotted this one in the street.
Now that i've finally got some quiet and lazy time home, i can not only catch up on crime tv series but also post a few stories that have been languishing in draft limbo for far too long. Let's start with Elena Chernyshova's Days of Night - Nights of Day, a photo series i discovered at the Fotofestiwal in Lodz. The series was among the finalists of the Grand Prix Fotofestiwal. It might not have won the award but it was the work that impressed me the most. Of course, part of my fascination is due to that typical look at the post-Soviet world but the images also made me realize the banality and almost romanticism of living right at the heart of an ecological disaster.
The young photographer traveled to Norilsk, one of the biggest cities above the Arctic Circle. In Norilsk, inhabitants live in darkness 45 days a year, temperatures can drop to minus 53 °C in the Winter and the air is one of the most polluted in the world. There is no green space in Norilsk and even leaving the city is a challenge. The easiest way to get away is by air (Moscow is a four hour flight away) and for most residents, plane tickets are barely affordable.
The reason why people would want to live there is that most of them work for the biggest metallurgical and mines complex in the world. Workers in Norilsk extract and process nickel and other metals making up approximately 2% of Russia's GDP.
Every year the metallurgical combine emits almost 2 millions of tons of gas into the atmosphere, leading to alarming rates of cancer, depression, respiratory, cardiovascular and digestive disorders, allergies, and other health dysfunctions are widespread. The amount of sulfur dioxide in the air is so high that almost 100,000 ha of the tundra around the city is dead or in danger. Residents are forbidden from gathering berries or mushrooms due to high toxicity.
Even the story of the city is dark, the city, mines and factories Norilsk were constructed by the prisoners of Gulag in the 1930s and 40s.
Days of Night - Nights of Day is as much about the city itself as it is about how people manage to cope with harsh climate conditions, environmental disaster and isolation:
I hope these photos awake some questions, Elena Chernyshova told National Geographic. Where are the limits of human ambition in the race for natural resources? How much are we willing to damage nature and the health of hundreds of thousands of people in the drive for riches? What are the limits of human adaptation to extreme living conditions?
More images and info in Lens Culture.
Also part of the Fotofestiwal in Lodz: A guide to life forms altered by the human species.
I'm spending a couple of days in Lodz for the Photo Festival. Or rather, the Fotofestiwal. I haven't seen all the exhibitions yet but so far, so good. I've been particularly fascinated by Zhao Renhui's A Guide to the Flora and Fauna of the World which has been selected for the Grand Prix Fotofestiwal.
The photo series attempts to document the ways in which the human species has altered the planet, and in particular other life forms.
The result of his research is a visually stripped back catalogue of curious creatures and life-forms. Some had to evolve in order to cope with the pressures of a fast changing world. Others appeared as the results of direct human intervention, mutations engineered to serve purposes ranging from scientific research to the desire for ornamentation:
Remote-controlled coakroach, peanuts injected with the DNA of a lobster so that they will never go bad, medicinal eggs with extractable antibodies against cancer, caterpillar-killing cabbage carrying the gene responsible for producing the poison in scorpions, tomatoes that do not go bad, sugar cane engineered with human gene, the first tiger mosquito found in Norway, etc.
Zhao's work addresses man's relationship with nature, and related issues of morality and ethics, paying close attention to how our attitudes assumptions about the natural world are often shaped by institutions of authority and the media.
Quick selection, with comments copied/pasted from the project website:
Every year, scientists report findings of bees being attracted to discarded soda cans, leftover drinks and various sweet things. This is due to the combined effect of a declining natural supply of nectar in the wild and the insect's possible craving for caffeine. In Singapore, a community of bees has been raiding a factory producing sodas of various colours. The red dye from a certain brand of soda remains in the bees' bodies even after they have processed their food into honey. Over time, it is found that the stomachs of these bees have turned red, changing from their usual orange amber hue. The honeycombs in the hives are also found to have turned into a shade of blood red.
A company in Japan has developed a technique to create eggs that are so strong that they cannot be broken. The only way to access its contents is to puncture a hole in its shell with a pointed tool. The egg was created by adding the plant protein of a banyan tree to a chicken, thus creating an egg with a bark-like texture.
Corn is the number one crop grown in the United States and about 88% of it is genetically modified. Although there is little evidence that these crops pose a threat to humans, scientists are still understanding the effects of genetic engineering on corn. Scientists recently discovered non-genetically modified corn emit chemicals when they are being attacked by pests. These chemicals, which signal wasps to attack pests, are not present in genetically modified corn. Through Kirlian photography, the aura of a non-genetically modified corn can still be seen.
A small population of white rhinoceroses in Africa has evolved to have horns so small that they are barely visible. Experts believe this could be due to years of hunting individuals with large horns. The remaining rhinoceroses with smaller horns left to breed will eventually created a whole new hornless generation.
It has recently been found in China that pork has been made to aesthetically look like beef. 'Beef colouring' and 'beef extracts' were added to pork to make it look and taste like beef.
China organised the first International Goldfish Championships in Fuzhou in 2012. Over 3,000 goldfish from 14 countries competed for different titles including the World Goldfish Queen crown. Goldfish are judged by five criteria: breed, body shape, swimming gesture, colour and overall impression. The show stealer was a giant goldfish weighing around 4kg. The judges noted that not all goldfish can grow this big as factors such as breeding may affect size. Goldfish are bred out of generations of genetic mutations since the Jin Dynasty and their exact origins are unknown.
Flowerhorn cichlids are ornamental aquarium fish noted for their vivid colours and bulbous humped heads. A man-made hybrid, the flowerhorn was popular in Singapore in the late 1990s. When their popularity waned, owners released the fish into the local waters. Today, the fish thrive in large numbers in local reservoirs and waterways. Scientists have reported that the flowerhorn has taken on a different adaptation in recent years. The bulbous and round head it once had has given way to a sharp, flat and rounded disc. It is posited that the more streamlined form allows them to swim quickly away from predators.
Less than 4% of Singapore exists in total darkness after 10pm. Insects are attracted to artificial light sources, though no one knows exactly why. The insects are usually killed by exhaustion or through contact with the heat from lamps. After being incinerated, their bodies become a heap of ash, collected in the covers of street lamps. The ash, also referred to as 'moon dust', is used by scientists to study the ecological impact of light pollution on insects.
Sold in a department store in South Korea, these square apples were created as gifts for students taking the College Scholastic Ability Test, with some inscribed with the words 'pass' or 'success'. A similar square watermelon was developed in Japan in the 1980s. The cubic fruits are created by stunting their growth in glass cubes.
Falcons are diurnal birds but have recently adapted to become nocturnal, like owls. Urban falcons have begun to use artificial illumination from street lamps and lit buildings to hunt for bats throughout the night.

The Grand Prix Fotofestiwal is on view at ART_INKUBATOR in Lodz until 15 June, 2014.
The Michael Hoppen Gallery has just opened an exhibition featuring a selection of vintage prints by Dr. Harold Edgerton, a photographer whose works are found hanging in art museums and galleries across the world. He even won an Oscar with his short film Quicker 'n a Wink. Yet, Edgerton was adamant that he was a scientist, not an artist.
The professor of electrical engineering at MIT invented the ultra-high-speed and stop-action photography when he synchronized strobe flashes with the motion being examined, then took a series of photos through an open shutter that could flash up to 120 times a second. The invention enabled him to photograph motion that was too fast to be captured by the naked eye: balloons at various stages of bursting, bullets tearing through fruits, divers rotating through the air, devil sticks in action, an egg hitting a fan, drops of milk coming into contact with liquid, etc.
If that were not enough, Edgerton was also involved in the development of sonar and deep-sea photography, and his equipment was used by marine biologist Jacques-Yves Cousteau to scan the sea floor for shipwrecks. Or for the Loch Ness monster.
During the Second World War, he pioneered superpowered flash for aerial photography used to create night time reconnaissance images, revealing the absence of German forces at key strategic points just prior to the Allied attack on June 6, 1944.
To trigger the flash at the right moment, a microphone, placed a little before the apple, pickes up the sound from the rifle shot, relays it through an electronic delay circuit, and then fires the microflash (via.)
Moments after the apple was pierced by the bullet, it disintegrated completely.
A .30 caliber bullet, traveling 2,800 feet per second, requires an exposure of less than 1/1,000,000 of a second. Edgerton turned the card sideways and the rifling of the barrel caused the rotation of the projectile, which, in turn, carved out the S-shaped slice of card between the two halves (via.)
After World War II, the Atomic Energy Commission contracted Edgerton and two of his former students to photograph atomic bombs as they exploded. The trio developed the rapatronic (for Rapid Action Electronic) shutter, a shutter with no moving parts that could be opened and closed by turning a magnetic field on and off.
Revealing the anatomy of the first microseconds of an atomic explosion, the fireball was documented in a 1/100,000,000-of-a-second exposure, taken from seven miles away with a lens ten feet long. The intense heat vaporized the steel tower and turned the desert sand to glass (via.)
The exhibition Dr. Harold Edgerton: Abstractions is at the Michael Hoppen Gallery in London until 2 August 2014.
This year, BIP2014, the 9th International Biennial of Photography and Visual Arts in Liège, looks at the ambiguous relationship between images and belief. Image seduce, persuade, deceive and lie. And even if we are used to seeing images (and their meaning) being modified and manipulated, we still want to believe that what is under our eyes is The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing But The Truth.
On the basis of this near irresistible attraction, power, whether it is clearly identified or ambiguous, relies on visual persuasion in its attempts to gain our conscious or unconscious consent. The fanaticism of the image and its attendant effects of belief have, in fact, today taken on a dimension that has never before been reached, perhaps in contrast to a society that claims to be rational. Included within the scope of the image are media and communication industries, spiritual and religious proselytizing of any kind, and marketing and economics, all crudely convened to force us to follow them.
BIP2014 was a passionate, curious, ambitious edition. I wish i could have written about it when the biennial was still on but i only managed to get to Liège as the event was closing.
The theme was great and i salute a biennial that refrained from dictating the audience what they ought to think about the power of deception that images hold. However, as i walked from one venue to another, i felt increasingly overwhelmed. The theme was explored in all its many facets, interpretations and directions. It wasn't just about 'believing' in a strictly religious sense but also about believing in the paranormal, in authority, in illusion, in technological dreams, in cultural icons, etc.
I also felt that the theme was stretched to its most lose ends. For example, i was glad to discover Raoef Mamedov's version of the Last Supper reenacted by people with Down's syndrome but it wasn't clear to me how the series fits with the idea of our ambiguous relationship with images. Still, the series is striking. Mostly because we are not used to seeing religious scenes inhabited by people who do not conform with what society regards as a 'desirable' or even 'normal' appearance. That goes not just for religious images but also for anything we see on TV and in magazine. However, you only need to go back in time to realize that society might have been more open-minded than we give it credit for. In the 16th century, Andrea Mantegna painted a Virgin and Child which, appears to have Down Syndrome.
End of the parenthesis. Start of a quick walk through the biennial:
Let's start with IDOLES, the exhibition that explores the image of power and authority. The show is hosted by the Cité Miroir. The building used to be a swimming pool. It used to be MY swimming pool. Why? What have they done with my swimming pool? I might not have set foot there for ages but that doesn't give them the right to transform it into a bland container of culture, right? Please give me back the swimming pool. Please!
Sorry, let's get back to business... Images are allies of dictators and democratic leaders alike. They command attention, speak to the masses, convey messages often clearer than long speeches. The show efficiently demonstrated that power of the image is so vast, it can propel an individual to the status of an idol.
Photo series taken around the world demonstrate the various forms of contemporary idolatry. Rows of uniforms facing a speech by Barack Obama, Syria's cult of personality, dehumanising May 1st celebrations in North Korea,
These powerful images, which reveal disturbing similarities, regardless of the "camp" to which they belong, express the fascination caused by the aestheticization of power, its staging and its decadence better than words ever could.
From 2007 to 2009, Oliver Hartung documented the monuments and billboards erected by the side of the road to honor the Assad family who ruled Syria since 1971. The homages were built by local citizens and business people to declare loyalty to the government. The photos were taken from moving vehicles as Hartung was concerned about drawing attention to himself in such a heavily controlled police state.
Obama's words and images are always sublimely engineered (If only his actions could follow suit.) Morris's photo series show the leader standing out in his dark suit, alone in front of identically attired young men.
Branislav Kropilak gives mundane "Billboards" a symmetrical nobility. They look like authoritative totems, not supports for marketing slogans and images.
In Arirang, Philippe Chancel document North Korea's flawlessly orchestrated annual mass games in Pyongyang where each move, each collectively sketched pattern reflects the tight control that the "Great Leader" Kim Il-sung holds over the country. The festival might be absurd in its antiquated extravagance and unsubtle propaganda but, strangely enough, it never fails to captivate "Western" audiences when images of the events are broadcast on tv.
The biennial presented the world premiere of Robert Boyd's The Man Who Fell To Earth. The triptych video installation uses archive images in a fast and furious montage to chart the fall of regimes and men. Former Romanian dictator Nicolae Caeusescu's deadly fall from power in December of 1989 is followed by images of Saddam Hussein's demise, George W. Bush's decline in political influence, the cracks forming in Kim Yong Ill's reign in North Korea and the political tumult resulting from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 2009 re-election in Iran. The historical moments are mixed with images of mass spectacles, military defiles and clips from Nicholas Roeg's sci-fi classic staring David Bowie in the role of a humanoid alien who lands on Earth in search of a way to save his dying home planet but ends up alcoholic and disenchanted. By comparing the end games of contemporary heads of state to the dejected alien of Roeg's film, Boyd's video reflects on the transient nature of power and its ability to corrupt, while serving as a harbinger to the politically ostentatious.
This is going to sound lame and lazy but i don't think anything i could write could reflect the mark that video left on me. It is by far the most stunning and moving video i've seen this year.
The sleepy and bourgeois atmosphere of the Ansembourg Museum, an eighteenth century mansion, is the backdrop of MIRAGE. This chapter of the biennial reflects on virtual reality, illusion and emptiness.
I was fascinated by Matthieu Gafsou's Sacré photographic series, a disturbing portrait of the Roman Catholic church in Fribourg (Switzerland.) Gafsou explores figures, spaces and moments that have a key place in catholic faith. the opulence of the rituals and relics appear to be disconnected from our contemporary life. In fact, there is in all these images an air of past grandeur that will never come back.
Fabrice Fouillet's series 'Corpus Christi' brings the church slightly closer to us by focusing on architecture of places of worship built in the 20th Century. Many of the cathedrals and churches caused an outcry when they were first built, such was their deviation from traditional notions of religious architecture, upsetting the more conservative members of the clergy. That series was part of another exhibition at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Liège (note that none of these art institutions has thought relevant to invest in decent online representation.)
OMG* was a very charming show set in the Chapelle St-Roch, a sixteenth century church decrepit and covered in pigeon shit. The MADmusée (Liège's museum for outsider art) chose it as a setting to exhibit photographic accounts of outsider artist environments built through the sheer force of conviction and commitment of an individual. I couldn't find many images online so i;ll have to limit myself to two pitiful photos:
Jean-Michel Chesne's collection of postcards that show locations and constructions that emerged out of personal faith and mysticism. These places are so eccentric-looking that have become touristic attractions.
The exhibition also included images that photographer Mario Del Curto had taken while visiting outsider artists in their working environment or homes. The photos selected show 'outsider environments' born of an epiphany, an unshakable spiritual will.

Most people are fascinated by ruins. The appeal of the crumbling and the decaying is such that it has its own term in photography. It is called "ruin porn" and Detroit is one of its most celebrated subjects. Tate Britain currently has an exhibition about the mournful, thrilling, comic and perverse uses of ruins in art. It is called Ruin Lust. Not because Tate curators are prude and proper but because they are erudite, the title of the show, i read, comes from the 18th-century German architectural word Ruinenlust.
The exhibition begins with the eighteenth century's fascination for ruins among artists, writers, architects and travelers. Think J.M.W. Turner and John Constable. I can't summon much enthusiasm for paintings, etchings and sculptures of the past so i'm going to stop the romantic trip here, shamelessly skip the first parts of the exhibition and focus solely on contemporary works. Most of them photography.
Contemporary artists see ruins, not simply as scenes for aesthetic pleasure and remembrance of past glory, they also question their essence and even view them as as sites of rebirth and new opportunities.
Even if i deliberately only enjoyed a small part of Ruin Lust, i exited the show content and ready to enjoy any overlooked and crap-looking bit of urbanism London has to offer (before they become a real estate 'prime location'.)
Here is a hasty tour of the show. It represent only a very subjective and photography-heavy perspective of it:
Jane and Louise Wilson have long explored architectural spaces that evoke power and control. The artists started photographing decaying Nazi bunkers on France's Normandy Coast, after having read an article by J.G. Ballard on their place in modernist architecture. "We were intrigued by the World War II bunkers that were being drawn back into the water," Jane says. "It was like something from an ancient civilization, but darker."
The Russian Ending, by Tacita Dean, is a series of photogravures with etching inspired by postcards documenting disastrous events. The title of the series refers to a cinematographic practice of the early 20th Century when the last sequences of European movies exported to America and Russia were filmed twice. American audiences would watch the 'Happy End' while a 'Tragic End' was made for Russians.
Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin have photographed marks and drawings made on the walls of what seems to have become a tourist hotspot in the town of Sulaymaniyah in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq: the Red House. The building was originally the headquarters of Saddam's Ba'athist party. It was also a place of incarceration, torture and often death for many Kurds. Broomberg and Chanarin
The artists photographed the marks left by Kurdish prisoners. We cannot tell what marks were made when and in what order. History presents itself as a palimpsest. If you wish you can sense in these photographs echoes of Brassai's surrealist images of scratched grafitti from 1930s Paris or Aaron Siskind's photos from the 1950s of daubs and tears made in hommage to abstract expressionist painting. But the context is more pressing and more fraught. The traces recorded by these photographs may relate to past events in the history of the Red House but nothing is settled in Iraq yet. While the photographs are fixed forever, these may not be the last marks made on these walls - David Campany.
In 1984 and Beyond, Byrne re-enacts a discussion, published in Playboy in 1963, in which science fiction writers - including Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury and Arthur C. Clarke - speculated about what the world might be like in 1984. Unsurprisingly, they were way off the mark.
Black-and-white photographs accompany the video work look like they came straight from the 1960s but if you look better you realize that they show objects, landscapes, cityscapes and scenes that might just as well belong to 1963, 1984 or now. They show the future that might have been, that probably never was but that still loiter in today's world.
Keith Arnatt's deadpan series A.O.N.B. (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) subverts the idea of what is picturesque and what deserves to get our attention by pointing the camera to the most prosaic man-made interventions in the landscape.
Five Sisters is a derelict land site in the Midlothian and West Lothian area which John Latham, during his artist's placement with the Scottish Development Office, recommended they be preserved as monuments. He also proposed that the 'bings' (huge heaps of coal waste) should be preserved as monuments. Latham's proposed to erect sculptures, in the form of books, on the summits of the 'bings'.
Paul Graham's series Troubled Land looked at "the troubles" in Northern Ireland.
Instead of working like a photojournalist and look for dramatic scenes to document, Graham searched for subtle traces of political instability left in the landscape. Graham said: "It's a combination of landscape and conflict photography, using small seductive landscapes to reveal the details."
Savage photographed abandoned locations around North Kensington. In the 1970s, the area had very little in common with the chic neighbourhood it later became. He wrote:
These photos were taken on an old Pentax during January 1977: their purpose was to serve as an image bank for the second issue of the fanzine London's Outrage. The location was the square of North Kensington that lies between Holland Park Road, the Shepherd's Bush spur, Westbourne Park Road and the Harrow Road.
The bulk of the images come from the streets around Latimer Road and Lancaster Road: the district called Notting Dale. Here, as in other inner London areas like W9 (the Chippenham) and WC2 (Covent Garden), the tide of industry and humanity had temporarily receded. Slum housing stock had been demolished, but there was no reconstruction: squatting communities like Frestonia (based in Notting Dale's Freston Road) occupied the remaining buildings. Not yet the clichés of punk iconography, large tower blocks loomed like primitive monsters above the rubble and the corrugated iron. I was guided to this area after seeing the Clash and the Sex Pistols. I was very taken with the Clash, partly because their North Kensington manor was so close to mine. Songs like "How Can I Understand The Flies" and "London's Burning" reflected their environment with precision and passion. London was very poor in the late seventies. (via)
Rachel Whiteread's 1996 prints show tower blocks on three housing estates in east London at the moment of their demolition. The images were scanned from photographs and stages in each of these demolitions were documented in three photographs taken from the same view-point. A fourth photograph of each site from a different location records moments that preceded or followed the knocking down.
The Demolished photos record what Whiteread calls 'something that is going to be completely forgotten ... the detritus of our culture', creating a memorial to the past in the hope of generating something better for the future.
Tacita Dean's film Kodak explores the ruin of images and obsolescence of technology. The artist traveled to Chalon-sur-Saône (France) in 2006 to visit and film the final days of the production of the company's 16-mm film stock.

Small Hibiscus varieties
nebulusApril 12, 2012
I am in need of a variety of Hibiscus that grows very small. Preferentially less than 2'. If anyone could recommend a variety of rosa-sinensis I would appreciate it.
tapla (mid-MI z5b-6a)
You didn't say if you want it for in the ground or if it needs to be hardy, and there is no way to guess because you don't include where you live or your zone in your user info.
For a hardy plant, try Hibiscus x moscheutos ''Satellite'. For pots, Malvaviscus Arboreus 'compactus' is commonly referred to as 'dwarf hibiscus'.

This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/200,611, filed Apr. 28, 2000, incorporated herein by reference.

The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright rights whatsoever.
This invention relates to circuit synthesis.
The characteristic performance of an electronic circuit is typically described by a set of performance specifications. Within a given set of performance specifications may be characteristics of many different dimensions. Each dimension may relate to a different domain in which a circuit may be analyzed. Basic electrical specifications, such as those having dimensions of volts or amperes, may be analyzed in the DC domain of circuit operation. Specifications that relate to the time domain response of a circuit may be referred to as transient characteristics. Circuit characteristics, such as those that describe response as a function of signal repetition rate, may be analyzed in the frequency domain.
In addition to multiple analysis domains, each performance specification may be measured as a function of multiple sets of operating conditions. Some typical operating condition variables include circuit temperature, supply voltage, and fabrication process.
In order to synthesize a circuit that is suitable for a given application, it is desirable to optimize performance for all circuit characteristics in each analysis domain, preferably under multiple operating conditions. In one approach to circuit optimization, a circuit simulation program is used to perform each of the individual analyses required to measure performance. Each analysis domain then requires a separate simulation. In another approach, a sequential process is used to perform the required analyses in a serial manner. The time required to complete the analyses is the total sum of each individual analysis time. This approach does not lend itself to efficient, automated optimization, due to the time required to collect results of each iteration and to execute new iterations with each new set of optimization variables.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to develop a process for synthesizing a circuit that utilizes a minimal total analysis time.
It is also an object of the present invention to develop an improved process for optimizing performance objectives in circuit synthesis.
The present invention includes a method of simultaneously optimizing multiple performance characteristics in circuit synthesis. In the method, a set of circuit parameters is generated for each performance characteristic of a circuit. Each set of circuit parameters is then simultaneously or concurrently passed through a respective circuit model. Simulations are run in parallel for each circuit model on a respective analysis test bench, in order to measure the performance of each circuit model using the respective set of circuit parameters. Each analysis test bench models circuitry that may be external to the circuit, and controls the type of analysis to be performed for each performance characteristic.
Also included in the present invention is a simulation system for simultaneously optimizing performance characteristics in circuit synthesis. The system uses a set of design parameters for the circuit to be optimized. At least one circuit model is used to incorporate the set of design parameters, each circuit model adapted to model a portion of the circuit pertaining to a respective performance characteristic. At least one analysis test bench is connected to each circuit model. Each analysis test bench is adapted to model circuitry external to the circuit and control the type of analysis to be performed for each performance characteristic of the circuit.
A more complete appreciation of the invention and many of the attendant advantages thereof will be readily obtained as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
In accordance with the foregoing summary of the invention, the following presents a detailed description of one embodiment of the present invention, which is presently considered to be the best mode.
The present invention includes a method of optimizing performance objectives in a circuit synthesis procedure. The objectives are optimized in a parallel manner, such that the total time of each iteration is reduced to the time of the longest individual analysis in a given set of analyses. The present invention also includes a circuit simulator to achieve such optimization.
In a preferred method of employing such a circuit simulator for optimization, three elements are combined. These elements include a set of design parameters, a circuit model, and an analysis test bench. The design parameters are assigned values during the optimization process, then used to modify the components of the circuit model.
In order to evaluate the performance of each circuit model and measure the effects of design parameter changes, a circuit model is preferably connected to an analysis test bench. A preferred analysis test bench models circuitry that may be external to the device being optimized, such as stimuli, power supplies, and load devices. The test bench also controls the type of analysis that is to be performed for optimization of each performance characteristic. Each analysis test bench may be used more than once, in order to analyze circuit performance over multiple operating conditions, such as temperature, supply voltage, and fabrication process.
The flow diagram of
Since multiple models and test benches are required to measure all the performance specifications, the optimization of each specification is a serial process. For example, a second type of analysis is shown, using another set of circuit parameters 116, another circuit model 118, and another test bench 120 for a second simulation 122. Performance is measured for this analysis 124. Each individual simulation must be completed before the next simulation in that set can begin. Every additional analysis adds directly to the time required to complete one set of evaluations.
When all of the simulations are completed, the optimizer 114 collects the results of all performance measurements and executes a comparison of those measurements to the goals described by the performance specifications. If all performance specifications have been met, the parameter values 128 are saved and the simulation is completed. If the performance specifications have not been met, an optimization algorithm calculates a new set of parameter values 126 and a new set of simulations is run.
A preferred system 200 of the present invention combines the elements needed for optimizing each performance specification of a circuit, and for performing required analyses in parallel, as shown in
For the system shown in
A preferred system 300 for mixed signal synthesis (MSS) is shown in
The synthesis engine of
A Synthesis Plan 302 sets out rules for the optimization process. The optimization process is called by a Synthesis Model 320, which is preferably stored in a library of plans 312. In
Once set up and specified, the Optimizer 304 runs the Synthesis Plan 302 by passing the design parameter values to a Synthesis Model 320. The model is then simulated with a simulator 316, such as an AMS (Antrim Mixed Signal) Simulator, and has its results measured and passed back to the Optimizer 304, such as through measurement output files 318. Thus, the processes put the design through a loop, each loop recording results that pass from the MSS Learning Optimizer 304 to the Lookup Database 306. When the design is completed and the results have been obtained, or with each iteration of the loop, the Lookup Database 306 may have increased in size, and may further have additional reference points for future runs of the MSS engine or system.
The Lookup Database 306 is preferably the learning mode portion of the system, a collection of data including that which was learned by optimizing a particular design. The MSS engine 300 has typically taken a certain type of circuit, exercised several different design parameters values, and obtained differing levels of process performance. Information related to those levels of performance is preferably stored in the Lookup Database 306. Subsequent runs for a same or similar cell may therefore not need to go through the same loops, as the information may be looked up as needed.
In one embodiment, each user creates an individual synthesized library 308, although learned data is preferably provided to the Lookup Database. If one user pulls an individual plan out of the library and executes it, a set of performance specifications will be stored to the library. Later, if the same or a different user calls up the same plan, giving it a different set of performance specifications, the plan preferably takes advantage of the fact that the cell in that plan has been operated on before by reading data from the Lookup Database 306.
The Lookup Database 306 is preferably part of the reference library, and is built on over time. The MSS Learning Optimizer 304 preferably writes to and/or reads from a database when a user sets appropriate options, such as where the optimizer is required to learn or lookup information.
PERL variable assignments are one possible mechanism for allowing the Optimizer 304 to pass parameter values into a Simulation or Synthesis Model 320. In one embodiment, both the MSS engine and AMS simulator use the PERL language as their control layer. A number is passed into a PERL script and attached to a simulation model which is then simulated with AMS.
The Test Benches 314, such as a Verilog A/MS Test Bench, are simulation models having a circuit configuration attached to the model being synthesized, in order to perform a particular measurement. In one embodiment, each test bench is built for a particular measurement and circuit type.
A Simulation Script 310 preferably provides the necessary parameters, such as the design parameters of the circuit being synthesized, and sets up the appropriate test bench ranges. The Simulator 316 then runs the Test Bench 314. The Mixed Signal Cell Library 312 provides the appropriate circuit representation. The cell library may contain information regarding the circuit, but not information on how to apply the circuit to a particular application (referred to as parameterizing). The design variables also may not have been assigned values. After being pulled out of a library, MSS preferably assigns values to those design parameters for the circuit being synthesized. The Synthesis Model 320 may be any appropriate type of model, such as a generic synthesis model, or behavioral model. Regardless of the form it takes, the Synthesis Model 320 is generally used to map the function of a design variable to a performance parameter. For example, when synthesizing an amplifier, a performance parameter might be the gain of the amplifier. The model on which to be operated provides the design parameter(s) that influence performance. The design parameters may therefore involve transistor dimensions, bias current value, or other parameters one would adjust in order to make a circuit meet the appropriate performance specification. As an example, a behavioral optimization model may be done in a somewhat direct way. Alternatively, a circuit model may require more detail. Either way, the basic process pulls a model from the library, with the model getting design parameters in order to achieve a certain level of performance.
In one embodiment, topology selection may be performed in order to examine the performance of different amplifier implementations, in order to choose the one that is preferable for the application. The Mixed Signal Synthesis Engine is not restricted to a particular model. Once a model is selected, however, the looping process would be performed for that particular implementation.
The Simulator 316 is a preferred device for making measurements. The Test Bench(es) 314 provide(s) circuit configuration information needed to make a particular measurement. For example, if the gain of an amplifier is sought, it may be necessary to hook up the appropriate instruments by signal, measure a certain signal out, and run calculations to determine the gain. This approach is different than one that would be performed to measure the power of the amplifier. The Test Benches 314 preferably describe all these configurations, including information on and how to make the appropriate measurement(s), such as tat needed for the simulator to run the test bench. The Simulation Scripts 310 preferably provide instructions to take a Synthesis Model 320, apply specific parameters, hook up in a specified way, provide facilities to make specified measurements, and provide the information to the Simulator 316 for execution.
A preferred embodiment may be implemented using a conventional, general purpose, or specialized computer or microprocessor, programmed according to the teachings of the present disclosure as would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the computer arts.
Appropriate software coding may readily be prepared by skilled programmers based on the teachings of the present disclosure, as would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the software arts. The invention may also be implemented by the preparation of application-specific integrated circuits, or by interconnecting an appropriate network of conventional component circuits, as would be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention utilizes a computer program product including a storage medium having instructions stored thereon/in, which may be used to control, or cause, a computer to perform any of the processes of the present invention. The storage medium may include, but is not limited to, any type of storage medium including floppy disks, mini disks (MD's), optical discs, DVD, CD-ROMs, microdrive, and magneto-optical disks, ROMs, RAMs, EPROMs, EEPROMs, DRAMs, VRAMs, flash memory devices (including flash cards), magnetic or optical cards, nanosystems (including molecular memory ICs), RAID devices, remote data storage/archive/warehousing, or any other type of media or device suitable for storing instructions and/or data.
Stored on any one of the computer readable medium (media), a preferred embodiment includes software for controlling both the hardware of the general purpose/specialized computer or microprocessor, and for enabling the computer or microprocessor to interact with a human user or other mechanism utilizing the results of the present invention. Such software may include, but is not limited to, device drivers, operating systems, and user applications. Such computer readable media may further include software for performing the present invention, as described above.
Included in the programming (software) of the general/specialized computer or microprocessor may be software modules for implementing the teachings of the present invention, including, but not limited to, combining elements needed for optimization, selecting synthesis models, assigning parameter values, selecting and invoking test benches, performing circuit simulations and analysis, and the display, storage, or communication of results according to the processes of the present invention.
The following is a list of preferred MSS design terms and general descriptions which may be applicable to at least one of the embodiments listed above. It should be understood that not every embodiment will use each of the following, or in a similar way, and that variation from these definitions should not be read to limit the invention:
AMS (A/MS)�Analog Mixed Signal: Generally refers to the AMS Simulator. May also refer to AMS language for Verilog (Verilog AMS).
Cell Library: Preferably contains one or more circuits ready for synthesis. May contain circuits without information on how to apply them to particular applications.
Characterizer (Characterization System): Preferably executes information from the Characterization Plan. Typically used before synthesis.
Characteristic Functions: (Part of Synthesis Library) Preferably includes expressions used to build Behavior Optimization Models (tables, curve fitting expressions of circuit characteristics, etc.)
Characterization Plan: A Plan that embodies the information needed to acquire behavior of a given design component within a specified parameter space. Information may include Fabrication Process, Operating Voltage range, Electrical Loading, Temperature, and other user definable parameters.
The characterization plan preferably has the ability to monitor and control the characterization process while simultaneously storing information required for synthesis and simulation (for example, data used to build a table or perform a curve fit).
Circuit Model: A description of an electrical function based on its active and passive components (resistors, transistors, etc.). Preferably describes structure in terms of its components (similar to a spice netlist).
Cost: A metric that gives an indication of the quality of the solution. Each performance value is preferably measured and checked against the corresponding performance specification, and its �closeness� to the performance specification determines how much it contributes to the cost. If all performance specifications are met, the cost is said to be zero.
Numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.

The group consist of Firestrike, Riot, Barracuda, Blackwing, Warbow and Stronghold and they were hired as muscle for Joe Silvermane's operations. Silvermane was selling high-tech weaponry from AIM to gang members and the New Warriors wanted to shut them down. Dalton Beck was dating Turbo of the New Warriors and Musashi had no idea that Dalton was Firestrike, the leader of Heavy Mettle. Dalton was trying to get close to Musashi so he could steal the Turbo armor but was conflicted because he started to have feelings for her. Aegis got the name of the arms dealer that was supplying the gangs with the weapons but Heavy Mettle was waiting to ambush them when they arrived to the warehouse in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn. Speedball charged towards Heavy Mettle and a fight ensued between the two teams. Heavy Mettle survived their first encounter with the New Warriors and escaped. Turbo would discover that Dalton was really Firestrike and he decided to turn over a new leaf and tell the New Warriors who was the man behind the entire operation. Nova would disguise himself as Firestrike and meet the rest of Heavy Mettle at a warehouse in Brooklyn. Stronghold tackled Firestrike and the rest of Heavy Mettle entered the fray. The battle was short and sweet but they told Firestrike they didn't mean to hurt him and considered the assault a practice session. Heavy Mettle raided a Baintronics weapons convoy in the Adirondack Mountains in Upstate, New York where the New Warriors were waiting. Riot fired a sonic blast that caused the driver of the convoy to lose control and topple to the ground. Stronghold used her super strength to stop the careening truck and rip the door off its hinges. Stronghold heard a sound and Namorita took her down with a thunderous punch. The rest of the New Warriors appeared and engaged Heavy Mettle in combat. All members of Heavy Mettle were defeated and Dalton Beck was placed in the witness protection program. The InitiativeAll the members of Heavy Mettle except Firestrike would join the Initiative and they are selected to join the Shadow Initiative. Taskmaster brings in a bunch of D-list villains and other Initiative members they feel are expendable into the Shadow Initiative. This group was the first wave of Initiative members to assault a prison in the Negative Zone called 42 that was taken over by Blastaar and his army. This group acted as cannon fodder to soften up Blastaar's forces before sending in the big boys to clean up. Most of Heavy Mettle were killed in the assault but Warbow survived. However, Warbow is killed when Norman Osborn and the rest of the Initiative attack Asgard.

Parks in Leesburg, FL area?
Justlinda1952September 21, 2013
Does anyone know of good Senior parks in the Leesburg, FL area that don't require a credit check? I am okay with a background check, but don't want to share my financial information with others. I would be buying a home with the proceeds from the sale of my home. Lot rent is okay or owning the lot.

No, I'm not naming them. I don't want to feel like I'm jinxing it. We've been calling them little eggberts/eggberthas. My dad started that one. I was surprised they gave us the 2nd photo too. They only told us we'd have the embies.
Brichole- Sorry to hear. Perhaps it's just a little early for it to show up even on the FRER.
Sounds like retesting is a good plan.
Wow... those are tricky pregnancy tests! I would wait 2 days, I wouldn't wait another week... I hope that the yes turns into YES!!! Anxiously waiting here too!
Night 4 of Clomid- let the night sweats begin, again.
Brichole, I'm so sorry. I was so hopeful this month too. I wonder why you're experiencing these early losses? Did your doctor ever discuss this with you?
I'm very sorry Brichole. Sending thoughts of healing your way.
Oh, Brichole, I'm so, so sorry. You are in my thoughts...I hope you are doing as okay as you possibly can.
Brochole - sending hugs....
Brichole, I'm so sorry Lots of gentle hugs to you.
Brichole- sending hugs and good thoughts your way, I hope you are taking some time and going easy on yourself.
How is everyone doing?
I'm coming up on 8dpo, which is customarily the point at which I start to freak right out. But this cycle I literally forgot what dpo I was on. I just went over to FF to input my temp and I realized I was getting close to testin' time. Protective mechanism, I think. I still think about pregnancy and babies every 2 seconds but somehow it's all abstract to me. In other words, I am losing hope. In other news, we decided not to sell our house and move right now. Instead we're going to stay put and fix up our place a little. I love a good renovation project, even one on an ultra-low budget, so that's keeping me distracted.
How about you guys?! What's new with you, shesaidboom? I'm thinking of you all. I'm so glad to have this space.
Renovations sound good! I love a good house project. Losing hope, not so good though. It's rough, isn't it? I think this time of year where things get darker makes those things even harder. When are you testing?
I'm doing okay. The progesterone is making me crazy though. I cry all the time and feel awful. I also have intense cravings (like grapefruit..I bought two for the week and completely devoured them today..and raw broccoli) and want to drink cold water 24/7 (I've been testing blood sugars and they're normal, I think my mouth is just dry and my cheeks flushed). I keep feeling like I'm not pregnant even though we're still only 5 days dpo. I'm also wondering if I really have to wait until the 21st to test. Would testing like 10-ish days dpo really be too soon?
I'm also really glad to have this space.
I know it is really late and I should go to bed already but WHOA. shesaidboom - you described exactly what I'm feeling. No, I mean, seriously. Major grapefuit craving - came home from the grocery store today and ripped one apart practically! Drinking cold water 24/7 - check. Wanting to cry all the time - that too. And, yes, being completely non-pg-feeling. Is that crazy or what?
I always thought 10dpo was way too early to test but last time I tested + on 10dpo so now I'm a true believer. I don't count myself out until 12dpo, but mentally I consider 10dpo to be possible, 11dpo expected, and 12dpo last chance. To be responsible I test 13dpo if I'm taking progesterone. So yeah, I'm planning to test Sunday morning, 10dpo. How about you?
Okay, okay, I'm really going to sleep now. Good night!
Interesting that you two are craving citrus while on progesterone. I can't stand it. At least, oranges are no-nos. I can't even smell them without feeling ill. I haven't tested out grapefruit, but lemon-lime didn't work for me either, so I'm thinking it's a general no citrus thing.
I know a lot of people who test positive at 10dpo but I think it's best to start around 12 dpo because I subscribe to gozal's way of thought and i just get so depressed with BFNs...even other people's BFNs. :o( I just want this for you ladies so badly because i know what it's like to go through these ups and downs every month.
Gozal, please don't lose hope. It will happen. And the non PG feeling is normal. Hey, this is why most people don't realize they are pregnant until weeks into their pregnancy. Most people don't feel anything!! I still have symptoms that come and go (except for that pesky nausea and fatigue) so i don't think that we can take anything for granted. But YAH to a home renovation project! I love home renovations! DH and I started to do some light stuff when we first moved into this apartment but that has gone to the wayside ever since starting IVF because it's been so exhausting for us (especially because of the traveling). And now, work has gotten insane so I haven't had time to put towards anything else!
Shesaidboom, are you taking progesterone orally? Taking progesterone orally turned me into a MAD WOMAN. I mean seriously, raving mad. I'm usually pretty even keeled but that one month i took oral progesterone, I was always crying and angry. After the BFN, I went back to the office and said that there was no way I was going back on the oral one. I started taking prometrium as suppositories. And, when I went to IVF, that's when i started to take endometrin which are also suppositories and i'm sure that it contributes to my fatigue but at least I'm not feeling insane and incredibly emotional (just somewhat emotional...)
Deborah, when are you testing?
Brichole, how are you doing? Just thinking of you and giving you big virtual hugs!!
cbaa, what's going on with you?
Ok ladies, have a good day. tgif!!!!!
Hi ladies! I took off work yesterday and stayed away from the internet as much as possible. Yesterday and Wednesday were my 2 worse days, but i believe that i've passed everything now and I'm praying that the cramping stops soon and the bleeding lets up some so that I can make it thru the work day today! Thank you all so much for your kind words. I am in such a depressed mood right now. I try to be happy, and then I get to thinking about the fact that I lost another one so early!!!! DH isn't taking it well either, but his way of dealing is by ignoring the topic of the fact that I lost the baby and trying to distract himself with other things to do around the house. He hasn't stopped to ask me how i'm doing emotionally...and has just told me to go to bed for the past 2 nights at like 7pm when i got to hurting so bad i couldn't do anything but lay on the couch and cry. That hurts my feelings too because it's like he doesn't want to help me deal with my pain...but i guess everyone deals with things differently. I am so happy I can come here and talk to you ladies about how i'm feeling though...at least I do have an outlet!!!
Renavoo: My doctor doesn't have any answers on why I would be miscarrying...but before DD#1 I had like 2 early miscarriages and then after I had her i had 3 early MC so...i'm thinking that my body just isn't ready for anotehr pregnancy yet or something. It's so hard to deal with right now though...but i'm trying to be strong.
To top everything off the ONLY time i got on Facebook yesterday the very FIRST picture I see is a couple who is friends with me and DH....and they both have changed their profile pictures and on that picture they have their almost 3 year old holding two pregnancy tests and the male half of the couple is holding a sign that says "MY WIFE IS ------------>" then she's holding a jar of "prego" and that is how they tell everyone she's pregnant and due in June!!!! I lost it and just started crying!!! It's not that i'm not happy for them, but where everyone was commenting she said and i quote "I think connor (their son) is happier about this than we are" Like she isn't super excited to be pregnant again!!! It pissed me off so bad because i was SOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to be pregnant and then I didn't get to keep my baby!!!! Sorry, i have a case of sour grapes right now...but it really drives me crazy when people can't just be happy to be pregnant instead of complaining about it!!!
ANYWAYS, i really hope that everyone else gets their BFP this month!!! I know that you all deserve it!!!
My test date is the 18th. I think that if it is positive, they have me check my betas on the 20th to make sure they are doubling. My mom comes in on the 21st for Thanksgiving, so I have her for emotional support whether that be for excitement or disappointment.
Deborah: Thinking about you!! I really hope that you and get GREAT news to get to enjoy with your mom while she is there during Thanksgiving!!! Those embies looked beautiful in the pictures you shared with us!! THANK YOU for letting us be a part of your experiance!!!
gozal - that's so weird that we're craving the same things! I'm hoping that's a good sign for both of us. I'm not sure when I'm going to test. My blood test is on the 21st, but I so don't want to wait 10 more days. It's too bad it won't show up 6 days dpo. I want to test now!
deborah - I cannot stand oranges, but grapefruits are making me happy right now. I really hope that test is positive and your betas double. I'm glad your mom will be there for you.
renavoo - I'm using the progesterone suppositories. Hearing the difference for you, I am so glad I'm not on the oral ones.
brichole - big hugs to you. I avoided facebook like the plague after my last miscarriage. I could not stand the pregnancy announcements and new baby photos. Maybe that's a place to stay away from for now. I'm so sorry.
Nothing new here, just dealing with the side effects of the progesterone and really wishing I could test now. I just want to know either way.
Thanks all! Shesaidboom, maybe I should see if grapefruit agrees with me. I didn't like lemon-lime though, so it may be a long shot. I'd love to have something with more vitamin C though. DH has a horrible cold.
I hate doing supplements, so no Emergen-C or anything like that for me. Prenatals are different.
Thanks! Maybe vitamin cottage would have it too. I love peach flavored anything!
Ian seems to be over his cold.

re: back band
Posted by: old_user on Sep-29-12 5:12 AM (EST)
Lots of ppl replace the stock back band on their boats. There is nothing sacred about 'em AFAIK.
As long as the new one isn't so stiff that it prevents torso rotation, or is so high that it makes it hard to get back in the boat when self-rescuing (or prevents a layback roll)...

HT's Ramblings
By HT101 0 Comments
So, felt like doing another blog to let everyone know what's been happening since my last post about a week ago since a lot has taken place since then and that one was just looking at one thing I had done.
In video game news, I have been playing through all of the DLC in Mass Effect 2 since it was on sale during Microsoft's runup to New Year's Day event. I beat all of them since I got them and it was really nice to get back into Mass Effect 2. I am very glad that I did that because it definitely is my game of the year for 2010, even without the DLC and the add-ons just make the game better. I especially thought Overlord and Shadow Broker were really good. The Firewalker missions were also good and it proved that Mass Effect can have fun vehicle sections that control great and make you want to do more of them. I've also been playing a lot of Rock Band 3 and I must say that Harmonix has done another great job working on it. The road challenges are all excellent so far and I have enjoyed finding out which songs are good for which challenge and that helps to bring in a little more strategic element to the game in deciding how you want to tackle each challenge. Even though I bought Bayonetta at the same time as Rock Band 3, I haven't started playing it yet but I hope to in the near future.
In movie news, I saw True Grit on opening night and I thought it was a well made movie that did everything well but not amazing. I did not think any of the principal actors had award worthy performances but to each his own. I also finally got a Netflix account, which if you read my previous blog, then you know how that went at the start. Since then, I have not watched anything I wish I could unwatch. I finally saw Some Like it Hot and I must say it is a really funny movie that holds up remarkably well today. It also helps that Marilyn Monroe is in it as well. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon did an excellent job as the two male leads and all of the supporting characters did a great job as well. The movie must have been a shock to a lot of people since it covered many things that were either not talked about in that time or people didn't even know about
them. The ending to the movie was especially shocking to watch since it seemed to recognize homosexuality as something that was alright, when it was even more detested then than it is now. I"m working my through Battlestar Galactica right now and I may write up a blog about each season after I watch it to give my impressions on how I though it went.
In comic news, I finally started working on getting the Green Lantern saga that Geoff Johns has been working on for many years now. I picked up the Sinestro Corps War Vol 1 and 2 and will eventually begin collecting the other trades that are a part of his saga. I have also been reading through a lot of different trades including a bunch of Batman books. The most recent was the first 4 chapters of The Long Halloween. I only read the first four chapters because I had to leave but I really enjoyed what I read up to that point. It makes me wonder what happened to Jeph Loeb and why so much of his recent stuff has sucked. Pretty much all of his early Marvel and DC stuff was excellent and it seemed like it started to go downhill for him when he took over The Ultimates from Mark Millar. It may have started before that but that point is when I started to notice it.
In Screened news, I have been hard at work in the wiki, with biographies of Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfrie d, Diane Kruger and Emma Roberts written up and completed. Also, I am hoping to get the Mona Lisa Quest done so if you want to leave a comment on one of my pictures, may I suggest this one.

I have tons of data in directory called reports. While doing git merge with another branch I am getting lots of conflicts for files under reports directory. I would like git merge to ignore files under reports.
In another words I would like all the data from reports from master and not from lab branch.
Is that possible?
This is what I am doing right now.

Gisele Bundchen looked gorgeous as she posed topless in a steaming photo shoot for Stuart Weitzman.
The Brazilian supermodel and mother-of-two just finished a successful photo for the world renowned shoe designer's 2014 Fall Collection shot by Peruvian fashion photographer Mario Testino. She replaced Kate Moss, who was once the front woman for Weitzman for three season.
In one photo, Bundchen showed her long and toned pins wearing nothing but a pair of Weitzman's boots and tight-fitting jeans. She was topless and had only her hands covering the side of her bosom.
Harper's Bazaar even called Bundchen's topless ad for Weitzman as one the best ads of Fall 2014.
It has been quite a busy year for the Brazilian supermodel. Apart from her stint with Weitzman, Bundchen is also the face of H&M. She was also recently announced as Chanel's endorser for the No. 5 perfume.
Meanwhile, Bundchen, who is a strong supporter of her home turf Brazil, has also been chosen as the trophy presenter for the 2014 World Cup awarding ceremony, Desert Sun reported. She will crown the winning nation's team in one of the biggest sporting events of 2014 at the Maracana Mario Filho Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on July 13. There is no doubt that Bundchen will surely be a glamourous presenter for the World Cup trophy, which is made up of 18-carat gold and reportedly contained in a personalised shaft by Louis Vuitton.
According to reports, Bundchen was preferred to do the honours of presenting the 2014 FIFA World Cup trophy in place of Brazil's president Dilma Rousseff, who has constantly been the subject of criticisms due to the hefty amount of money that the South American nation has allegedly spent to cover the expenses for the ongoing tournament in the face of poverty.
