This question already has an answer here:
I've watched 50 plus presentations on programming topics, although most have been online; example, Google Tech Talks -- and have ad-hoc experience on what formats work for programmers, or practices to take into account when presenting to a group of programmers.
That said, I'm open to any suggestions, but here's some topic of the top of my head:
- Programming Jokes, Images, etc.
- Posting Code for download
- Contact Info
- Collecting feedback
- Presenting Code on Screen
If it matters, in this case -- I'm giving a presentation on using a scripting language to extract, transform and load data to a local user group who's focus is the scripting language; Ruby in this case.
Questions, feedback, requests -- just comment, thanks!!

I'm new and really want to change my life around. I'm 45lbs heavier then I should be, have high cholesteral and feel tired all the time. I love animals. I have three dogs and one cat and would have more if my finances allowed....I want to be part of something great! I know the decesion to go Vegan is not and easy one but I also know making the decesion to die is even worst. I'm excited about my new lifestyle and hope to get encouragement from everyone who shares the same life style.
It is great that you joined the plant based diet Maryal22 I am not eating animal products for about 6 weeks and I enjoy every meal. It is the best thing I ever did for myself. Wish you good luck
That is great! Congratulations! I'm nervous but excited!
You'll do great! Just remember to think long-term. The diet has been wonderful for both my husband and me.
You've come to the right place! Support, answers to questions, shared experiences, and recipes - you'll find it all right here. Becoming a vegan and learning about whole-food nutrition is one of the best things I've done for myself and my family.
- AmandaBe the change you wish to see in the world...
Definitely the best thing my husband and i ever did for ourselves.. as long as you follow a healthy vegan diet you will do great.. it gets easier the more you do it..
unfortunatly my husband will not make that step right now. I also have 2 teenagers and they too will not try it right now. I know with time they to will come around.
Two weeks after we were married, i decided to try this "kickstart thing"... heck i thought it was vegetarian! I didn't even know exactly what it all was about except there was no meat. For a long time I had wanted to try a vegetarian diet.
anyhow.. my husband at first pitched a fit. (figure of speech) He said "i am going to eat meat!" I said "ok.. i am having veggies and grains. I can cook you a chicken breast or hamburg.. whatever, no big deal" He seemed happy with that.
A couple of days later, he comes to me to say .. "I will eat whatever i want for breakfast & lunch. Then i will eat whatver you cook for dinner. AFter all, i know it will be food." Turns out breakfast for him was already vegan (toast & peanut butter w/chocolate almond milk) Lunch turned out to be leftover dinner... So he was slowly vegan...
After a few weeks, I wasn't home for dinner one night; he went and bought MEAT. Hamburg & Steak... cooked it all.. thinking he was going to have a treat. .. He called me after.. saying it wasn't all he thought it was going to be.. what a let down...
Then he decided to try it for 3 months and go to the doctors for his blood work.. If it didn't improve he was determined he would go back to meat. But he would give it an honest go.
WEll he did go to the doctor.. ALL his numbers improved!! Not only did those numbers improve, but his quality of life did also. He used to have to go to the bathroom wherever we were.. then go again.. Never could sit thru a movie.. had to get up in the night 7-8 times.. never got a good nights sleep. Doctor was talking rotor router.. saying he had put it off long enough.
Let me tell you ... ALL that went away... it's like he is a teenager again. He sleeps thru the night, as long as he doesn't have beer. He doesn't have to know where every bathroom in the city is. He doesn't have to go for hours... sometimes he catches himself saying that he hasn't gone.. and maybe he should... and he certainly isn't constipated either.. lol.
BEST thing we ever did for ourselves!! Keep with it, it is sooo worth it. And who knows.. anyone can try anything for just 3 or 4 weeks.

Air Force creating 'battle rhythm' to stop sexual assault
Thursday - 1/24/2013, 6:38am EST
The pattern of sexual assaults against new recruits at Lackland Air Force Base that began to come to light last year was a major institutional failure, two of the service's top generals told Congress Wednesday.
Figuring out how to make sure it never happens again is a daunting challenge, but they insist they're throwing everything they have at the problem.
Lackland is the Air Force's boot camp. Virtually every new enlistee attends training at the San Antonio base, and after sexual assault reports surfaced there, the Air Force launched its own inquiry, going back 10 years. Officials interviewed airmen who'd been through basic military training there and wound up concluding that at least 32 training instructors engaged in sexual assault or other violations involving at least 59 recruits.
Gen. Edward Rice, commander, Air Force Education and Training Command
Gen. Edward Rice, the commander of Air Force Education and Training Command, said most of the problems appeared to have happened over the last three years.
"It is completely unacceptable to us that so many of our instructors have committed crimes or violated policies. We clearly failed in our responsibility to maintain good order and discipline among too many of our instructors in basic military training," Rice told the House Armed Services Committee.
Gen. Mark Welsh, the Air Force chief of staff, was similarly contrite. But he said the Air Force is committed to understanding the problem and combating it for as long as it exists as an institution.
"We can't accept this. It's horrible, and we all know that," he said. "But I don't believe the entire Air Force has a culture of sexual assault. I believe there are units and places over time where we create pockets where culture is a major problem. That's what happened at Lackland. But I don't believe that everybody in the United States Air Force accepts a culture of sexual assault. We have officers and civilians who have daughters who are working side-by-side with airmen around the world. They're not going to tolerate a culture of sexual assault."
More needs to come forward
The Air Force investigation so far has turned up 59 victims of sexual assault at Lackland, but the true number is almost undoubtedly higher. As in civilian society, victims are reluctant to report their experience to authorities.
And most of those 59 victims became known to the Air Force only as a result of a massive investigation that interviewed thousands of people for cases that ranged over a period of years. Very few of them ever made a report to their commanders, Rice said.
"That's totally unsatisfactory," Rice said. "We've got to find a better way of connecting with them. I think the investigation broke some ground for us in how to do that better as an institution. How we talk to people and the persistence with which we engage them is very key to this. We also know that while victims oftentimes themselves won't talk to us for any number of reasons, they do talk to other people. They talk to friends, they talk to family, they talk to co-workers. By engaging those people in the right way, we have been able to get a great deal of information on the cases that we have today."
Welsh, the Air Force chief of staff, said getting more victims to come forward is at the top of his mind. He's still unsure why they don't.
Gen. Mark Welsh, chief of staff, Air Force
"Every time I talk to an Air Force audience, I ask the question: Why, on what was undoubtedly the worst day of a victim's life, did they not turn to us for help? We stand beside them in combat, we go to war together, we protect each other's lives, and we talk about [sexual assault] constantly," he said. "We are missing something fundamental in the human-to-human interaction that will allow them to feel safe enough to report and help them through this horrible event in their life. That's the heart of the problem."
Jennifer Norris, a former Air Force technical sergeant who now works with the advocacy and support group Protect our Defenders, said Welsh's question has a fairly straightforward answer: If servicemembers want to report that they've been a victim of sexual assault, their only avenue for doing so is through their own chain of command.
"When you're a lower-enlisted service member, you're new to the institution. You haven't been able to establish the credibility necessary to make a claim against someone who's been in for 18 years and appears to be the right-hand man of the commander," said Norris, a sexual assault survivor who said she only came forward to her command after enduring multiple sexual assaults. "If you want a career, you don't want to say anything. Because you're the one that gets retaliated against. You're the one who gets thrown out. You're the one who gets beat up."
No longer under the radar
Norris said the only way the military services can get more victims to report is to take the reporting process outside of the victim's chain of command and put it in a separate legal structure. She said while military commanders have power over virtually everything their troops do, empowering them to be the final word on how or whether to move forward on sexual assault claims is an undue concentration of authority.
"I'm not saying every commander is a bad person, but to put that decision authority in one person's hands is a lot for that commander. But it's also a lot for the rest of us," she said. "If he or she decides one thing and I don't agree with it, what recourse do I have? None."
The Air Force says it recorded 796 reports of sexual assault last year, up from 614 in 2011. The Pentagon has previously said it thinks more reporting is not necessarily an indicator of more sexual assaults. Rather, it believes it's a sign that more people are coming forward to report crimes that would have gone under the radar previously.
Welsh said he believes there are behaviors among airmen that are leading indicators for sexual assault: Binge drinking, sexual harassment and work environments that are uncomfortable for fellow airmen. Those cultural factors are something he says the Air Force is just beginning to understand.
Looking for new ideas
"We have made a huge effort recently to start getting to a discussion at the small-unit level of treating each other respect. The feedback we're getting from that effort is interesting, because it's clear that we haven't done enough in that area. There are people who don't feel valued," he said. "We have a certain population in our Air Force that has been going along to get along by ignoring things that they're uncomfortable with in their workplace, whether it's mannerisms, thing's hanging on the wall in the workplace, whatever it might be."
Welsh said he gathered more than a hundred commanders in Washington in late November to talk about sexual assault and to send the message that he's serious about eliminating it. He said he's also meeting every week with an Air Force task group he set up to tackle the problem.
"What I've asked them to do is to bring something new every week, something we haven't tried," he said. "Then we talk about the logic of implementing those things. We have to create a battle rhythm where we're talking about this, where we're implementing new idea, and stopping the ones that don't work. It's no different than the way we operate aircraft every day."

1855 Colton Map of Northern Italy
Description: This is the uncommon 1857 issue of J. H. Colton's map of Northern Italy. It includes Lombardy and Venice, Sardinia, Tuscany, Parma, Modena, Lucca and the States of the Church. Also shows Corsica and parts of the Naples, France, Switzerland and Tyrol. Divided and color coded according to province, shows major towns and cities, roadways and railroads as well as geological features such as lakes and rivers. It offers fine detail throughout with elevation rendered by hachure. At this time in history, Italy was undergoing the process of Risorgimento, where the different states of the Italian Peninsula would be unified into a single state of Italy. Like most Colton maps this map is dated 1855, but most likely was issued in the 1857 issue of Colton's Atlas. This was the only issue of Colton's Atlas that appeared without his trademark grillwork border. Dated and copyrighted: 'entered according to the Act of Congress in the Year of 1855 by J. H. Colton & Co. in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York.' Published from Colton's 172 William Street Office in New York City, NY.
Date: 1855 (dated)
Source: Colton G.W., Colton's Atlas of the World Illustrating Physical and Political Geography, New York, 1857 (First Borderless Edition).
References: No References.
Cartographer: Joseph Hutchins Colton (July 5, 1800 - July 29, 1893), often publishing as J. H. Colton, was an important American map and atlas publisher active from 1833 to 1897. Colton's firm arose from humble beginnings when he moved to New York in 1831 and befriended the established engraver Samuel Stiles. Colton recognized an emerging market in railroad maps and immigrant guides. Not a cartographer or engraver himself, Colton's initial business practice mostly involved purchasing the copyrights of other cartographers, most notably David H. Burr, and reissuing them with updated engraving and border work. His first maps, produced in 1833, were based on earlier Burr maps and depicted New York State and New York City. Between 1833 and 1855 Colton would proceed to publish a large corpus of guidebooks and railroad maps which proved popular. In the early 1850s Colton brought his two sons, George Woolworth Colton (1827 - 1901) and Charles B. Colton (1832 - 1916), into the map business. G. W. Colton, trained as a cartographer and engraver, was particularly inspired by the idea of creating a large and detailed world atlas to compete established European firms for the U.S. market. In 1855 G.W. Colton issued volume one the impressive two volume Colton's Atlas of the World. Volume two followed a year later. Possibly because of the expense of purchasing a two volume atlas set, the sales of the Atlas of the World did not meet Colton's expectations and it was thus that, in 1856, the firm also issued the atlas as a single volume. The maps contained in this superb work were all original engravings and most bear an 1855 copyright. All of the maps were surrounded by an attractive spiral motif border that would become a hallmark of Colton's atlas maps well into the 1880s. In 1857 the slightly smaller Colton's General Atlas replaced the Atlas of the World. Most early editions of the General Atlas published from 1857 to 1859 do not have the trademark Colton spiral border, which was removed to allow the maps to fit into a smaller format volume. Their customers must have missed the border because it was reinstated in 1860 and remained in all subsequent publications of the atlas. There were also darker times ahead, in 1858 Colton was commissioned at sum of 25,000 USD by the government of Bolivia to produce and deliver 10000 copies a large format map of that country. Though Colton completed the contract in good faith, delivering the maps at his own expense, he was never paid by Bolivia, which was at the time in the midst of a series national revolutions. Colton would spend the remainder of his days fighting with the Bolivian and Peruvian governments over this payment and in the end received as much as 100,000 USD in compensation. However, at the time, it must have been a disastrous blow. J. H. Colton and Company is listed as one of New York's failed companies in the postal record of 1859. It must have been this event which led Colton into the arms of Alvin Jewett Johnson and Ross C. Browning. The 1859 edition of Colton's Atlas lists Johnson and Browning as the "Successor's to J. H. Colton" suggesting an outright buyout, but given that both companies continued to publish separately, the reality is likely more complex. Whatever the case may have been, this arrangement gave Johnson and Browning access to many of Colton's map plates and gave birth to Johnson's New Illustrated (Steel Plate) Family Atlas. The Johnson's Atlas was published parallel to the Colton atlas well in to the 1880s. The Colton firm itself subsequently published several other atlases including an Atlas of America, the Illustrated Cabinet Atlas, the Octavo Atlas of the Union, and Colton's Quarto Atlas of the World. They also published a large corpus of pocket maps and guides. The last known publications of the Colton firm dated to 1897 and include a map and a view, both issued in association with the Merchant's Association of New York. In 1898 the Colton firm merged with the Ohman Firm and continued to published as Colton, Ohman & Co. until 1901.Click here for a list of rare maps from Joseph Hutchins Colton.

Haha! I know it's not CP3's but since some of ya'll need it a little 'pretty', here ya go. ^^^^^^
Nice, Hunny. Do we know that Rivers is starting?
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
http://www.livingneworleans.com/?p=5577In an 18 game season stretching from April to July, the VooDoo will play Friday and Saturday nights in its self-monikered home, the Boneyard, a name possibly relating to the fact that the New Orleans Arena and the Louisiana Superdome were built near the old Girod Street Cemetery
Either way though, it's where bodies were buried.
oh... and what name should they call the MB Superdome when they play some of their games there this season... remember the Arena is getting a renovation when the Hornets season ends
Eric Gordon out indefinitely

Monty Williams says Eric Gordon is out indefinitely.

#Hornets Monty: It's an unfortunate situation (about Gordon)."
WWL-TV Sports@wwltvsports
#Hornets Monty: I'm sure it's got to be medical (for Gordon). The guy just can't not play.
WWL-TV Sports@wwltvsports
#Hornets Monty: Austin Rivers will move into Gordon's spot while he's out.
WELL, Hunny looks like your lineup is correct.
Ohhhh, that's right. I don't know what the heck I'm thinking. For some reason I was thinking the Hornets would be playing there if perhaps the Arena wasn't done with renovations once the new season begins. I gotcha. Well in that case, they can call the Superdome "The Tomb". LOL.
I miss you Jason. Looking forward to seeing you get back in the groove.Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Jason Smith will play for first time since Oct. 7. Smith on his shoulder: "In the last couple practices, it's held up pretty well."
Yeah I REALLY hope that Smith stays healthy through this game. I really want to have him available most of this year.
I seem to recall JBones starting the threads for awhile because we caught fire and went on a winning streak so he kept doing it. If this is the case he has my vote for next game as well.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."

LOUDON, N.H. – The auxiliary plug in rental cars is useful. Years after the world discovered iPods, I finally got one. (I had a mere MP3 player that finally kicked the bucket right before I threw it in one.) While motoring from Boston up into the wilds of New Hampshire, I listened to an old Elton John song:
"Roy Rogers is riding tonight
Returning to our silver screen
Comic-book characters never grow old
Evergreen heroes whose stories are told
Oh, the great sequined cowboy who sings of the plains
Of roundups and rustlers and home on the rang
Turn off the TV, cut out the lights
Roy Rogers is riding toni-ight!"
Yes, I'm old enough to remember Roy Rogers, though he was already old, him and Dale Evans, when I came along, and his movies were black and white and on TV. My parents saw the Saturday matinees back when every town had a theater and every kid had a bike and parked it out front without worrying about it getting stolen.
I do, however, remember NASCAR when, according to today's experts, it was neither as competitive nor exciting as it is today. The statistics say so, but they fail to take into account the Lucky Dog (I think that was a dance back then, similar to the Sweet Potato), wave-arounds (Beach Boys tune), debris cautions (astronauts returning home from space) and the Chase (Gene Autry cut to it and, meanwhile, back at the ranch …).
Maybe it wasn't as exciting, but it sure as heck seemed as exciting.
Forget westerns. Forget moon landings. Forget being able to leap tall buildings at a single bound. They're symptoms. What we need are causes.
Old-time racing isn't extinct. What's extinct are legends. Dale Earnhardt was NASCAR's last legend. There were dozens before him: Richard Petty, David Pearson, Cale Yarborough, Bobby Allison, Fireball Roberts, Curtis Turner, Junior Johnson, Fred Lorenzen, Tim Flock … They go all the way back to the sport's beginning, but then someone had the bright idea that we needed to know everyone. Stripped of privacy, the legends all disappeared. Stripped of intimacy, no one much noticed or cared.
Now they're just great drivers, and to stay great, they become outstanding corporation spokespersons, or maybe spokespeople. "Attack of the Killer Spokespeople" would make a fine nightmare.
Many race drivers are scripted, even when they're not making commercials. "NAPA know-how" might come in handy, but it can't make a man a legend.
Some of this, of course, is the romanticism of youth, but when I started writing about NASCAR, I was an adult, and it's changed. Everything is formal now. I still stand around in the garage and shoot the bull, but it used to be with Harry Gant or Ricky Rudd and now it's with a fabricator, a shock specialist and a PR rep. I talk to them because I'm in the process of being blown off by a race driver who hasn't got time for anyone without a cameraman.
That's because, comparatively speaking, I don't matter. Hence, they don't matter much to me. Yes, there are exceptions, just as there are sun bathers in Alaska and Auburn fans in Tuscaloosa. They matter about as much as I do, and like me, they keep doing the best they can.

Managing obesity is never easy and a number of techniques people use in the hope of losing weight are usually non productive. There are also other techniques which can endanger lives, especially if they involve the ingestion of drugs whose contents are questionable. The good old way is doing exercises and dieting. However, a number of people who have tried this technique before have given up either due to the strenuous nature of the exercises they are subjected to or because they simply cannot control their appetite. Most people with obesity actually struggle so much to lose weight but they never get it right because of the various shortcomings of the methods they use. Giving up on your weight is a risky thing to do because obesity exposes people to quite a number of risky medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. The lap band procedure has proven to be the most effective of the tried and tested methods of managing obesity.
The method involves medical surgery and its effects are always visible within a few months. It is based on regulation of food intake, which is aided by a device called a lap band which is surgically implanted around the stomach and is used to regulate the amount of food that the stomach can hold. The beauty of it all is that the method functions seamlessly with the rest of the body functions and within a few weeks, even the most gluttonous person can be able to be fully satisfied just by taking the recommended minimum amounts of food.
It is however very important to note that like any other surgery procedure, lap band is quite sensitive and should only be conducted by a highly trained doctor. Our lap band surgery facility happens to be the best in Los Angeles and we have some of the best surgeons and high-tech medical equipment to ensure that patients get value for their money and that they are not exposed to risk. The surgeons know exactly how to go about the procedure in order to ensure that the exposure to risk is minimized and that the level of intrusion is negligible.
In the interest of our patients, we offer consultation on lap band procedure for free and we also have to brief them about the procedure, analyse their health status and get to determine whether they are psychologically prepared to handle the procedure. You can visit our offices or leave your comments or questions on the feedback form available on our website at http://www.lapbandsurgeryla.com/ for more information.

Investor Perceptions of Board Performance: Evidence from Uncontested Director Elections
2009, Journal of Accounting and Economics
Paul Fischer, Jeffery Gramlich, Brian P. Miller, Hal White
This paper provides evidence that uncontested director elections provide informative polls of investor perceptions regarding board performance. We find that higher (lower) vote approval is associated with lower (higher) stock price reactions to subsequent announcements of management turnovers. In addition, firms with low vote approval are more likely to experience CEO turnover, greater board turnover, lower CEO compensation, fewer and better received acquisitions, and more and better received divestitures in the future. These findings hold after controlling for other variables reflecting or determining investor perceptions, suggesting that elections not only inform as a summary statistic, but incrementally inform as well.

SEATTLE, Dec. 20, 2007 – A procedure to fix a congenital heart defect related to stroke may also be responsible for the disappearance of some people's migraine headaches. Now, a randomized clinical research trial led by neurologists and interventional cardiologists may determine if repairing this common heart defect is an effective migraine treatment.
Mark Reisman, M.D., medical director of research for the Swedish Heart & Vascular Institute, is directing the cardiology aspects of the MIST II trial as the study's national principal investigator. Locally, neurologist William Likosky, M.D., with the Swedish Neuroscience Institute, is overseeing the neurology aspects of Swedish's participation in the trial.
The defect, a hole in the wall separating the two upper chambers of the heart known as patent foramen ovale, or PFO, is found in up to one in five people. Everyone is born with a PFO, which normally closes after birth. But in some people the closure process is incomplete, allowing the 'used' blood returning from the body to bypass the filtering system of the lungs. It is typically discovered after a stroke and can be closed with an umbrella-like device in a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure to reduce the risk of future strokes.
Recent studies investigating patients with PFOs have shown strong evidence that there may be a link between PFO and migraine, and that in some patients – particularly those suffering from migraine with aura – closure of their PFO leads to cessation or a significant improvement in the frequency and severity of migraines.
However, until now all the studies have had limitations in that they investigated stroke patients or divers, and they were retrospective (i.e., they asked patients for information about migraines that occurred in the past). Therefore, PFO closure is not currently a proven treatment for migraine alone.
The MIST II Clinical Trial has been specifically designed to investigate migraine sufferers with a PFO and demonstrate if PFO closure can offer an effective treatment for this type of migraine sufferer.
"For so many, migraines are a crippling neurological ailment," said Dr. Likosky. "By conducting further research, we hope to find more answers that can provide relief to a large percentage of those patients."
"Based on our experience, it's possible that more than two thirds of patients who suffer from migraines and have this common heart defect may find relief in this catheter procedure, which takes about 30 minutes to complete" said Dr. Reisman. "To date, PFO closure has only been approved for stroke patients. We hope to show that performing this procedure proactively is an appropriate and effective therapy for migraine sufferers."
According to the National Migraine Association, migraines affect approximately 30 million Americans, with up to 38 million Americans having a genetic propensity to becoming migraine sufferers.
The MIST II Clinical Trial is randomized, meaning that half of the people enrolled in the trial will have their PFO closed ('closure group') with the BioSTAR® Septal Repair Implant and the other half will not ('control group'). Both groups will be randomized in the cardiac catheterization lab. They will be treated identically with one exception. The control group will not receive the implant.

Swine Flu
Swine Flu
Novel H1N1 (referred to as "swine flu" early on) is a new influenza virus causing illness in people. This new virus was first detected in people in the U.S. in April 2009. This virus is contagious and spreading from person-to-person worldwide, probably in much the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread (through coughing or sneezing by people with influenza). On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) signaled that a pandemic of novel H1N1 flu was underway.
The virus was originally referred to as "swine flu" because laboratory testing showed that many of the genes in this new virus were very similar to influenza viruses that normally occur in pigs (swine) in North America. But further study has shown that this new virus is very different from what normally circulates in North American pigs.
Most people who have become ill with this virus have recovered without requiring medical treatment, although severe illnesses and death have occurred as a result of illness associated with it. (Source: CDC / Photo: Kaupang/iStockphoto)

Vulnerable Akron: the first great sit-down
An account by anarchist and union organizer Rose Pesotta of the 1936 Akron rubberworkers strike, which utilized the sit-down tactic. From the book Bread Upon the Waters.
Akron, rubber manufacturing capital of the world. A drab Mid-Western industrial city of 255,000. A city with a hum, a throb, anodor all its own. It made the front pages in February, 1936. A strike had closed the largest tire factory on the globe, which had 14,000 employees.

Lessons from small shop organizing
A significant amount of organizing experience in the IWW comes from working in relatively small workplaces such as stand-alone single shops or franchises of multiple smaller shops.

Swedish nazi attack on anti-racist rally fails
Sweden, December 15, 30 or so nazis from the Swedish Resistance Movement (SMR) attempted to disrupt a rally against racism comprised of local Karrtorp residents and anti-fascist organisations.
After recent SMR activities in and around the area of Karrtorp, a suburb of Stockholm, local residents, Line 17 Network, and various other organizations held a rally against racism. Reports claim anywhere from 200 to 500 people in attendance. Sometime during the rally thirty or so SMR members showed up and were prepared for street combat.
Scaling the wall: what to do if you get stuck while reading Marx's Capital
Lots of people who start Karl Marx's Capital get stuck somewhere in the early chapters of volume 1. In this post, I make some suggestions about how to get unstuck and read the whole book.
In 1998 I started trying to read Karl Marx's Capital, volume 1. I failed. I tried again, and failed. I tried again, and failed. This happened repeatedly over the next four or five years. I would get fifty or so pages in, get confused or bored, and give up.
'Europe' in Ukraine: many things to lots of people
Again, on the protests in Ukraine; this time mostly on the attitude towards 'Europe' among the several forces within the protests.
Again, there is mass protest in Ukraine. On Sunday, 8 December, hundreds of thousands have been gathering in Kiev, the capital. Demonstrators torn down a statue of Lenin, still seen as symbol of Russian domination.
Inside and against the university
With recent strikes, occupations, and violent repression, the university is becoming a battleground. What does this mean for university staff and students?
To begin, I should stress that the choice to be inside the university is disappearing. Whether by escalating indebtedness, involuntary outsourcing, or indeed, summary suspension for political activity, exclusion from the university is making a comeback.We confront the university less and less as a place of an idealised 'Education', and more and more as an exploitative boss, a spendthrift landlord, a creditor, and an instigator of violent repression. The blood on the pavement at UCL symbolises this shift.
Nelson Mandela: some thoughts
Some brief reflections on Nelson Mandela, his politics, and legacy.
I must admit to having a lump in my throat when I found out that Nelson Mandela had died (although not sure why) Whatever my thoughts are on him as a person, the ANC, or his legacy, the passing of such a towering international figure deserves honest reflection.Nelson Mandela himself – who left prison penniless – has a fortune that his family are now fighting over like vultures. Clearly a far cry from the lives of the average South African who generally do not have a pot to piss in!

It's been a long week here at the headquarters of sexy celebrity, what with three members of our tech team self-immolating themselves when they found out the iPad 3 will still not support flash media. They're a very dramatic bunch. But we can easily look past the visual horror of three crispy nerds in the hallway and look to the visual delights presented by our readers, each and every week in our very favorite segment. A little thing we like to call Reader Finds.
This week's Reader Finds is a bevvy of the beautiful, an insane array of the awesome, and a jambalaya of the just-so-damn-hot. Yep, it's got it all and it's all must see, including Jennifer Lopez in a white hot sexy bikini shoot, Kate Upton in a see-through click, The Artist actress Berenice Bejo topless, Arianny Celeste in an amazing bikini pose-off, Taylor Momsen in a see-through outfit on stage, Helen Flanagan in a deep cleavage sexy bikini, Catrinel Menghia nekkid hot, Czech model Ivana Mrazova topless hot, Nina Agdal covered topless wonderful, ex-Cristiano Ronaldo girlfriend Nereida Gallardo topless on the beach, Ghost Hunter Interational's own Susan Slaughter Utermark flashing her supernatural boobtastic, and Selena Gomez in mas mas upskirt shots. Now, that's a collage!

Recent West Amsterdam Reviews
Perfect location beautiful and spacious apartment.
The perfect apartment with the absolutely best location. We walked everywhere and when we needed public transportation it was right up the street. When we took a rode trip we walked across the street to the rental car company. The apartment was roomy and meticulous. We ate at Sama Sebo a recommendation from Ruth which was delicious. We are old so we do eat early and did not need reservations. The grocery store which was a block away was filled with wonderful tapas choices which after a long day we sometimes prefer to a big meal. Vondel Park was a great find and we were able to walk through there as a short cut enjoying the beautiful flora and fauna. Everything was as expected and Ruth was able to accommodate our early arrival and late departure. Ana, the housekeeper was lovely and helpful. I guess if I had to be very critical my only comment would be that if you were disabled or elderly this apartment might be difficult for you to navigate as it is up 3 flights of stairs. Thank You and look forward to our return trip. Ellen from New York

Middle East Cyber War Timeline (Part 5)
Click here for the Middle East Cyber War Master Index with the Complete Timeline.
This week of Cyber War on the Middle East front, has shown a slight change on the Cyber Conflict trend. For the first time since January, psyops have deserved a primary role, maybe on the wake of the video released by the Anonymous against Israel one week ago. Not only the Jerusalem Post calls the video into question, but also argues that it may have been forged by Iran, identifying a state sponsored impersonation behind the entry of Anonymous in this cyber war.
But this has not been the only psyops event as an alleged message from Mossad to the Anonymous has appeared on pastebin, whose beginning sounds like a dark warning: If you want to be a hero start with saving your own lives. Although there are many doubts on its truthfulness, it deserves a particular attention since outlines a new age on psyops, what I call "pastebin psyops".
But a war is not made only of psyops, so this week has also seen more hostile actions, among which the most remarkable one has been the leak of 300,000 accounts from Israeli Ministry of Construction and Housing. This action had been preannounced by a wave of attacks on primary Israeli sites (which targeted also the PM site), and most of all, has been carried on by 0xOmar, the absolute initiator of this cyber conflict.
Palestine has been targeted as well, and it is really interesting to read under this perspective a statement by Ammar al-Ikir, the head of Paltel, the Palestinian telecommunications provider according to whom cyber attacks on Palestinian websites and internet servers have escalated since Palestine joined UNESCO.
On the Iranian front chronicle report of a failed cyber attacks againstPress TV, Iran's English-language 24-hour news channel and most of all of a controversial statement by Gholam Reza Jalali, a senior Iranian military official in charge of head of the Iranian Cyber Intelligence, according to whom the country's nuclear facilities have finally been made immune to cyber attacks. And it is not a coincidence that in this week Iran has kicked off the first national conference on Cyber Defense. A matter that deserves a special attention by Tehran because of the growing number of attacks on Iran's cyber space by US and Israel. On the other hand, Israel did a similar move one month ago, at very early stage of the cyber conflict.

Affordable for a pocket invite
We fell in love with this invite the moment we saw it since it epitomized our wedding colors and also our Mediterranean theme. The peacock didn't entirely fit the theme but the invite looked so gorgeous and classy anyway we decided to go with it. We got the velum that overlies the main invite printout and it just made it look a whole lot classier. I've always loved pocket invitations because they just make it so much more interesting and creative, more than the flat panel card. I got the matching thank you cards as well! I'm so excited to hand them out to my guests, I can't wait!
Spectacular Invites
My fiance and I were impressed by how easy these invites were to personalize from the colours, to the text. We were even more impressed with how fast they shipped, and then the reviews from our guests - they all said they were the best invites they had seen! Can't wait to send out the thank you cards!!

|Falcons Fall to Lions
|Sunday, 18 November 2007
|Misenheimer, NC---Falcon women rallied in what was a very challenging meet for Pfeiffer. Despite a strong start with a winning 200 medley relay, Brittany Byrum was the only swimmer to take a clear 9 points- winning the 200 backstroke in an event dominated by the Falcon women, with Hannah Fitzgibbons taking 2nd in her first meet back after injury, and Rachel Schmidt fighting hard for 3rd in her first full meet after injury. Freshman Amanda Singleton was also number 1 in the 400 IM after a strong swim for her, and Freshman Emily Belton stormed through the 50 back in the medley relay proving her talents at almost any sprint, and despite ongoing illness returned and secured 2nd in the 200 freestyle after beginning with an in water start which trainers requested she do. She repeated the same feat in the 100 free and will now rest another week before resuming training.
Coach Hawkins said, "Even with our team at full strength, this is a strong opponent and one we definately have our sights set on chasing down. Unfortunately it wasn't to be this year, but we're getting better all the time. I was very encouraged by some of the individual swims, and even just by the way some of us look in the water. I'm feeling good that when we rest just a little for the invitational meet in Savannah we will see some great best times. Today was also a wonderful opportunity to recognize our seniors Alicia Phillips and Rachel Schmidt. These girls have played a big role in the progress that the Falcons have made in the last few years and they have been very dependable racers and point scorers for the teams."

More Goddess Art
Big Females On Canvas
I am enjoying working on this new Goddess painting so much that I thought I would upload her larger scale than normal size and let some of the detailed brushwork show. This is the artwork rferred to in yesterday's post based on a a girl I "know".
If you read the blog a few months ago and at another point earlier in the year you will know that I suffered "block" a couple of times. It really is frustratig when this happens and sometimess you just have to wait for it to pass. At the moment I am in a period of growth it seems which after the less energetic painting spats I have had, really feels fantastic.
Also, today I took delivery of two of the largest canvases I have ever bought at 3 feet x 5 feet and I just can't wait to get started working on them. In saying that, I have no idea at the moment what I intend to paint on them.
I have the Artist's Christmas get-together at the WASPS Studios tomorrow. Crash helmets ready…..

Look I really enjoy this game but taking looks at DOR 2's newest photos,the stage height is still once again inches high.I want to whip my opponent off sending him feets through a table but comeon...what is with the height?My hypothesis would be they took the same data from the previous arenas in DOR 1,through them in and spruced up the graphics.
I love the animation of throwing them off a edge but only if the height was fixed. [img]err.gif[/img]
Oh well a small gripe I have but I guess I can get over it,just like every other game by Yukes.

your painting is quite well done. I also enjoy your creatures ^_^
The only thing i have to say is that your faces need work. Usually when the faces are far away. Most of your closer faces look decent. I myself suck at faces from imagination so ya.
By faces i just mean the ones from imagination.
My observational skills may be great but i said nothing about my drawing skills

Hey d-cept, really nice sketchbook ya got goin here I really like the variety of ideas you've got going here, specifically the newborn ones and the sheet of birds from a couple of posts ago. This recent WIP has a really nice depth to it; you've seperated the fore, middle, and backgrounds quite nicely. Definitely progressing well though, curious as to where ya take it.. keep it up!
July 26th, 2009 #1504
Your pencil stuff is really good and the Newborn WIP looks great. Just an idea: perhaps the Newborn could be paler--he hasn't seen the sun throughout his existence. That could also easily distinguish him from the dark background.
Have you seen "The Machinist" with Christian Bale? He lost 60+ pounds for the role, your Newborn reminds me of the character: http://unrealitymag.com/wp-content/u...0/stickman.jpg
Keep it up!

Wicked newborn haha 'good mornig' id be like put me back in keep up the goods!
July 28th, 2009 #1506
Hi, I like the first greyscale version best. It looks darker and creepier. You lost some of that in the later versions.
And do more studies man!

The Newborn wip is looking great.
I like the colours your using here.
The blue and red is nice, and the green in the foreground adds just that little extra!
Good work. And the composition is tight, and there's a great feeling of depth as well.
Here's a couple of crits:
The depth of field going on in the foreground is a cool idea, but as it is now it doesn't work for me. The most subtly blurred insect legs are ok, but the blurred pipe seems kinda wrong. I doesn't feel like it's a part of the picture right now in my opinion. I don't really know how you should fix it. Perhaps make the blur less subtle, or study photos with DoF that you find on the internet perhaps, to get more of a feeling of what it looks like.
Also the anatomy of the guy who is new born is a bit generic.
I guess people who are "constructed" like this might get a generic kind of anatomy, but I think that if you made him really weak, or really strong, that would bring out more of a dramatic effect. You know.. Weak like in very thin and all ribs and such. Or strong with broader shoulders and more muscles. At the moment he looks pretty thin, but he's got muscle as well, so I'm not really sure what is going on.
This is last one is really more of a personal opinion than a real crit though.
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to see this one finished.

My57: Glad you like, and thank you for the crit!
Onir: Thanks! I tried as best I could to get a good seperation, so I'm stoked it worked! Need to do more illustrations.. hehe.. they're fun!
YihyoungLi: Hey! No.. haven't seen the film.. guess I'm gonna have to now! I heard that he was advised not to go so extreme by a doctor while filming that thing, though... haha.. Thanks for the suggestion on the Newborn
Spect: Thanks homie! Always in here.. hehe.. YOU RRROOOOCCCKKK
zelda_geek: Yep.. totally right.. I need to do more studies... I'll pick it up and post soon! Thanks for the crit on the Newborn piece!
Shin: Damn... you really sat down and thought this one through didn't you? Awesome crit man! Hope everything is good on your side of town Done with that summer gig yet?
Ok.. So I got so many suggestions from people not only on here, that the grey scale was way more creepy, so I went for a monochromatic with a kicker for the final.. I'm gonna brush up some more on this thing at some point, but this is what I got in as a final for the competition.. Got a new gig as well I moving into a new apartment while doing this, so I was spread a little thin a while there.. haha..
August 6th, 2009 #1509
i would have darkened the foreground even more on the left, and also right now since there is a equal amt of rendering between the two chars, my eye actually kind of goes thru them to the very background. i might add some glow or hazy smoke to the bug bot so that the guy has more focus.
great tho, good luck

Nice update! The samurai hairstyle is unusual, but the highlights are spot on.
The skintones could be a more consistent. In some areas, the shadows are dull; but there are also very saturated parts--like his forehead. He seems to have been out in the sun for too long. Also, it's not so apparent, but his head shape is strange; notice the area between the bottom of the ear and the black clothing. I believe he's missing some neck/hair over there.
The pose in the second is convincing and the expression is great--I wouldn't want to mess with him. The shadow is a good addition: it really plants him in the space. These are really minor details: The right forearm's shape could be more informative as it's rotation; it doesn't really connect with the hand well I think. Also, it's kinda difficult to tell the pant's texture.
Keep up the good work!
EDIT: 52 pages yeah!

YihyoungLi: Thank you for a really good set of crits! I'll definately have a look at 'em!
hp: Yeah.. I've been hearing about that ear.. hehe.. Rework comin' up!
Right.. so I did a couple of light/color/composition studies from movie stills this weekend.. trying to get outta what I usually do. Noted on 'em which movies they're from I tried to keep it very loose and not fall into my usual render-whoring.. I'll do more of these and try to strike a balance between loose and rendered somewhere.. we'll see where this ends up My definate favourite of these is the one after "From Hell".. Seems the implied detail is sorta working there.. The knife (yeah, the blob in the guy in the foreground's hand ) could probably be better defined in order to get the point across a bit more.. as well as the chair she's sitting in sorta reads as her leg in between 'em there.. So I shoulda rendered some more there, perhaps..
Thoughts, crits and such are very welcome!
August 17th, 2009 #1515
Ah thought I had this subscribed; was wondering why it wasn't popping up on my list... fixed either way! hehe great updates man, really strong work. I love this one, great pose and the technique works really well for it (love the Champ/Chimp thing as well hehe). These movie studies are looking really good as well, nice color and contrast as well as a very solid feel to each character.
Not a whole lot I can see to crit; the knife, as you mentioned, is a little wonky but I'm sure that'd be a pretty quick fix. Otherwise I'd say you might want to try to use a bigger brush to block in larger areas, reduce the amount of brush strokes you use a little. You did say these were meant to be looser though, so that might not be helpful in the end hehe... either way just keep it up!
August 19th, 2009 #1516
Onir: Thanks! Yeah, I'm trying out some new ideas.. hehe.. But a bigger brush is probably good I tend to pick at stuff.. hehe..
So I tried a little zBrush today.. got a buddy who is a 3D modeller who's been bugging me about doing some zbrush.. haha.. I made a very rough model and painted on top of it.. Definately a different approach to character design.. Here's the result of my fumbling about today
August 20th, 2009 #1517
Did another quick movie study last night.. from Interview with the Vampire. I've only used a "/" shaped brush with tilt sensitivity and opacity to pressure.. I'm thinking maybe I should bring a soft brush into the equation to get more control over the edges and the rendering. Just put down a few strokes with a soft brush at the end.. These studies are supposed to be fast, but they can be better while still being fast
August 20th, 2009 #1518
Some cool stuff in here. The Heavy Attack Crab is seriously awesome... worth the admission fee alone. Also really liking how you are using Artrage, and your pencils are nice too. But where are the DS speedies you promised? I linked here from the setup thread.
You seem to be pushing in all areas so I don't really know what to crit, although I did notice that some of your more finished pieces that feature figures loose a little definition. The different masses tend to become more generic and lumpy? The new zBrush paintover, on the other hand, retains the nice structure, so maybe doing a few more would help the memory retain?

Munin Raven: Thank you for the kind words, and the good crit! Really appreciate it! And I've yet to empty the DS card for my crappy DS sketches.. haha.. thanks for the kick in the ass! Good think you're keeping me to my word
Sorry for spamming today.. little in-between study at work today.. from Benjamin Button this time.. I could not get the colors to sit well.. Can't win 'em all, I guess.. Wil be doing more of these! There's a lot to learn from it.. and I'll spend some more time on the next few I think.. try to get some more out of 'em than I already do
Like I said though.. this was an in-betweener at work, so I couldn't sit and indulge for too long.. haha..
August 21st, 2009 #1520
wow I like that zbrush piece! the pose, colors, and textures all work really well; quite the creepy monster haha movie stills are looking great, especially since you're doing them pretty quickly. shapes are legible and you're getting atmosphere nicely in both pieces. not a whole lot I can see to crit, but I see a bit of soft edge brush in the benjamin button piece and I think it's working well. either way keep at it!
August 22nd, 2009 #1521
WICKED UPDATES an even when im not in here im always here mmmwwWWWHHHAAAHHAAA
August 22nd, 2009 #1522
Glad to see these great studies! The "From Hell" study is really nice. Overall, your colors and values are convincing, but some planes could be clearer. The shirt sleeve in the Benjamin Button screen is kinda vague; it's hard to tell what's going on there. I think more definitive brush marks could help out, or cell-shading to a certain degree.
Keep it up!
August 23rd, 2009 #1523
The movie still studies are a great idea I might have to try my hand at those!! Very cool man keep cranking out the work you have come a very long ways!!
August 23rd, 2009 #1524
ok i thought i commented but i guess i didn't ^^ i would bring back some of the sculpted texture on your zbrush char. on your movie studies i think you could use some more saturated colors in certain areas to make em pop. you're on a roll dude, keep posting

'nother study.. from "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" this time.. Spent a little more time on it to define areas a little more.. so they're not left hangin' in "couple-of-brushstrokes-land"
Also added some ramblings on the frame.. if it's any interesting to any of you, I'll include these as well in the future

hey, looks great! really got the expression, the pose, and the moistness! lol only crit I have is that the top of his head (his forehead area I guess) is flattening out a bit, I guess because of the hard edges along his temples. it is really tough since his hair is dark and it's on a dark background, but you definitely did a great job with it. keep at it!

Nice update. The color and lighting seem spot on--very convincing. I don't mean the sketch has to be more detailed, but the shapes of your brushstrokes could be more informative. The chest/pectoral area and the trapezius are vague/muddy; perhaps simplifying the shapes.

Begin by explaining what happened (We make it easy to add any supporting info you
Decide what you want from the other party-either monetary or non-monetary, or both.
The other party may accept or reject your terms, or offer new ones. You can modify
your terms at any time.
The claim closes when either side accepts an offer. Unresolved claims post publicly,
so there is strong incentive to settle.
PeopleClaim helps consumers, patients, employees and others resolve disputes by
exposing bad business and unfair treatment.

PeopleClaim uses an A+-to-F rating system determined by a
business's responsiveness
to claims filed against
and percentage of claims resolved. The ratings are based exclusively on claims filed
through our online system.
PeopleClaim Ratings are generated via an objective mathematical algorithm that encourages
respondents to settle valid complaints, while giving them flexibility to challenge
and reject claims they feel are unreasonable. Respondents are given a grace period
of 20 days before new claims begin to impact their rating.
High letter grades are given to businesses and other entities that respond quickly
to complaints and resolve a high percentage of them. Lack of a timely response and
leaving claims unresolved result in a low letter rating. Respondents always have
the option to respond to claimants and share their side of the story.
Respondents who have had no claims filed against them are given a preliminary rating
with a note telling how long they have been rated.
PeopleClaim Ratings provide an objective look at how a respondent deals with complaints.
