Sosaku-hanga is the Japanese phrase meaning creative print, and this exhibition features works by some of the country's leading printmakers from 1950 to the present day. Contemporary artists are still inspired by the centuries-old technique and imagery of printmaking – while also experimenting with new and progressive technologies and methods.
With their bold colours and subtle textures, the works on display show how the tradition is evolving. Artists including Kiyoshi Saito and Kawana Kauro developed new processes, while the likes of Masami Tersoka have crossed genres and become well known outside Japan.

World Trade Center Continues Upward Despite Blizzard
Thursday, December 30, 2010
Tom Stoelker.
[ As the World Trade Center continues its ascent, The Architect's Newspaper will be checking in each week for signs of progress at one of the country's most exciting construction sites. ]
The blizzard did little to deter holiday crowds from flocking to the World Trade Center this week. With few office workers in town, hundreds of tourists crushed onto the slushy sidewalks of Church Street. From behind St. Paul's Chapel, a cacophony of languages could be heard. Construction moved forward with few signs of delay or disruption from this week's snow and by Wednesday afternoon the site was humming as usual.

[ As the World Trade Center continues its ascent, The Architect's Newspaper will be checking in each week for signs of progress at one of the country's most exciting construction sites. ]
The pre-holiday bustle reached a lull today at the World Trade Center site as much of downtown seems to have headed home. Even the cranes were moving at a sluggish pace; but they're still moving. This week, the facets that form elongated triangular corners began to reflect the sunlight a bit more and another row of windows found their way onto the western facade. The holidays are taking hold, too: At dusk, sparkly lights that run the length of the cranes emerge like stars.
Slideshow> Weekly World Trade Photo Update
Wednesday, December 15, 2010
Tom Stoelker.
The Architect's Newspaper's main office is just two blocks from the Word Trade Center site, so we're keeping a photographic eye on increasingly visible developments at the site. One World Trade will soon break the skyline and all throughout the site there are signs of vigor. Over the last couple of weeks, windows began to appear on some of the structures.
It's hard not to be awed, regardless of how unfashionable that may be in an area where locals studiously observe a nonchalant protocol, as though the massive tower were just another visiting celebrity. So don't mind us as we join the out-of-town gawkers and snap away.
Models of Freedom: Architectural Model-Maker Featured on Television
Friday, December 3, 2010
Tom Stoelker.
Fox News featured Ed Wood and Leszek Stefanski of Radii Inc. last night, giving viewers a behind the scenes glance at a craft little known outside of architectural circles. Wood explained the relevance of architectural models in the face of advances in computer animation. He noted that there is, perhaps, a kind of dishonesty to the flat screen. "The physical model allows freedom," he said. It was a sound bite that no doubt gelled with Fox producers, who promptly posted the video to their "Rise of Freedom" website under the subtitle "Designing Freedom."

It may not have a marquee name attached to it, but work on the Cortlandt Street R/W subway station is another sign of the slow but increasingly steady progress at the World Trade Center site. Closed since 9/11, the heavily damaged station has stood as an eerie reminder of that day, visible to the thousands of riders that pass by it everyday as the trains creak and twist toward Rector Street.

Freedom for Pataki
Friday, March 27, 2009
Matt Chaban.
And here we thought they'd dropped the name Freedom Tower awhile ago, around the time Freedom Fries went out of fashion. But according to the reports seemingly everywhere today (it was front page news in both the News and the Post), now it's official–the Port Authority has dropped the name. The man who came up with it, however, has quite a few things to say to that. According to the Observer, Pataki was none too pleased about the decision: Read More

No, we're not talking about the progress on Tower 1, though that is impressive. We're talking about news of the building's new, fastest-in-the-hemisphere elevators. Call it jealousy: We've been having horrible problems lately at A/N HQ with the elevator. First, it was grinding and creaking. Then it was getting stuck between floors. They say it's fixed but we're still taking the stairs. Can we be blamed for looking longingly to the south from 21 Murray Street after this ecstatic report from tomorrow's Times: Read More

You must have defeated the Elite Four, and gotten the National Pokedex. Insert the 3rd Generation game on the bottom of a DS or a DS Lite, and the 4th Generation game on the top, and then turn it on. On the screen after it shows the mascot, scroll down. There should be an option that says "Migrate from __________". Choose that. Select 6 Pokemon from the Gen3 game's boxes. You cannot migrate Pokemon that know HMs. After you do so, go to the game and go inside the Pal Park. Talk to the guy near the counter and he'll let you in. Roam the different areas and look for the 6 Pokemon you transferred. You can transfer once a day for each different 3rd gen game. (FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald). After 24 hours within transferring, you may transfer more Pokemon from that game. answered Dec 30, 2013 by Mewderator selected Dec 31, 2013 by PikaPals I need a DS!

Ex-mlitary nutjob loses his mind and his hearing
!!!!!! This review contains spoilers !!!!!!
Navy nutjob loses his mind and his ability to hear sound while driving everyone else nuts with his sound.
This episode was another classic Twilight Zone venture into the insanity of man, namely a man ex-military losing his mind and his ability to hear sound but at the same time driving everyone else nuts in the process.
This episode was directed by legendary film director Richard Donner who did the Superman movies, Lethal Weapon movies, The Goonies!!!, The Omen!!! and many other movies. To put in other words this was directed by one of the best American directors of our time giving this episode (in one of his early stages of his career) that extra special feel.
John McGiver stars as Roswell G. Flemington a retired Admiral, sea scout whatever you want to call him. He owns his own shipping company but spends most of his time playing loud military records of bombings from Okinawa at full blast!!!
This guy is nuts and one of the reasons why I would never join the military because of people like this (though I am sure not everyone is like this). Anyways, as stated this is another classic Zone episode written by Rod Serling that explores a man's ventures into insanity. Everyone knows he is nuts, his wife, his employees. As with other Zone episodes there is retribution for a character's abusive nature. In this case, since Flemington likes loud noise, Serling takes the ability to hear away from him-robbing him not only of the pleasure of him hearing his war songs and bombs, but his ability to annoy others with echoes of the past-namely the violence of war which shouldn't be enjoyed but it is.
John McGiver is brilliant here capturing a guy losing it right before our eyes. Even if this episode did not have the twist with the sound, this episode still shows us how one man can deteriorate over the years to the point where he himself can't identify how crazy he is. However, with that said we get glimpses of how he became insane. Flemington describes to his wife how his mom was disciplined up to the point of insanity (he could only eat fudge brownies because it produced the most limited noise!!!) Thus his insanity is sympathetic to a certain degree, the abusiveness of the mother is transferred to the son, and as the son grows older it's no wonder why he would become the way he is. Since this is the Twilight Zone of course we are course aren't really interested in this but instead we tune in to see Flemington punished.
Once again proof of how much Serling wasn't just a great writer but a great psychoanalyst. He's done other episodes before about guys whether they be in the military or not going insane but this definitely is another classic done in the last season of the show.

Former Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, co-chairman of President Barack Obama's re- election campaign, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital with Al Hunt," airing this weekend, that the president will be "energized" by Vice President Joe Biden's performance in his debate against Republican running mate Paul Ryan.
Top surrogates for Barack Obama and Mitt Romney predicted a more aggressive Obama will show up for the second presidential debate in New York next week, while they disagreed sharply about Vice President Joe Biden's performance.
Governor Ted Strickland sees the future of Ohio reflected in 159,000 gleaming solar panels nestled between fields and factories outside Upper Sandusky.
Private-equity mogul Bruce Rauner jabs his left index finger at the Chicago ballroom crowd after his victory in Illinois's Republican primary election, vowing things will change in the debt-strapped state if voters choose him as governor in November.
Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Former Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, a Democrat and the co-chairman of President Barack Obama's campaign, talks about the outlook for next week's presidential debate following last night's debate between U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan.

RivermenRead MoreRivermen's New River rafting trips guide amateurs and avid aquanauts alike through some of the most scenic whitewater rapids of New River Gorge National River. Reverential rafters can drink up hearty eyefuls of the gorge and its abundant wildlife, weathered bluffs, and recognizable bridge, as seen on the West Virginia state Pog and quarter. The upper river excursion (4?6 hours, $124) traverses canyons on relatively mild waters punctuated by a few easy rapids. Easily navigable by group raft or inflatable duck (a kayak-like vessel that holds 1?2 people), the upper trip makes an enjoyable introduction to whitewater for families, beginner to intermediate rafters, and adolescent Loch Ness monsters. The lower route (4?6 hours, $134) quickens the pulse with more than 25 rapids, as well as tranquil pools and the requisite breathtaking scenery. Both tours will stop to provide lunch.1 Ames Heights Rd.Lansing, WV US

O. Winston Link MuseumRead MoreWhile stationed on Long Island to conduct secret war research for the U.S. government during World War II, O. Winston Link started snapping photographs of the Long Island Railroad tracks behind his lab. Eager to capture large-scale railroad pictures at night, he built his own customized flash equipment. After the war, Link harnessed that creative curiosity by spending five years photographing the Norfolk and Western Railway, the last large steam-powered American railroad. From his 20 trips to the railway's tracks in four states, Link collected 2,400 pictures. His work didn't garner attention until the 1980s, when he published his first collection of railroad photos in the lauded book Steam, Steel & Stars. The West Virginia Historical Society continues to preserve his legacy with the O. Winston Link Museum, which showcases Link's Norfolk and Western project while filling in its historical context. Throughout seven galleries, patrons hear the sounds of bustling locomotive engines, adjust the lighting of an interactive diorama's photograph, and ogle Link's original photographic equipment, including flashbulbs, power boxes, and super power boxes. The museum underscores its edifying galleries with a plentitude of tours, workshops, and ongoing photography programs.101 Shenandoah AveRoanoke, VA US
Center in the SquareRead MoreChartered in 1970 as the first science museum in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Science Museum of Western Virginia educates all ages with interactive exhibits and events.

Virginia Museum of TransportationRead MoreIn the 1850s, the Norfolk & Western Railway made its way to Big Lick, Virginia, transforming the sleepy town into a locomotive hub of the south. The Virginia Museum of Transportation walks visitors through this industrial change with its historic steam and diesel engines, cabooses, model trains, and rail collection, which features more than 50 pieces of rolling stock, including some of the most advanced Roanoke-made steam engines ever built in the Norfolk & Western Class J-611 and Class A-1218. Railway exhibits recount the exploits of the industry's most renowned names and provide an opportunity for visitors to hop aboard an actual diesel locomotive and complain loudly about the lack of complimentary peanuts. Additional engine-powered attractions include a century's worth of automobiles and the recently reopened Wings Over Virginia Aviation Gallery collection.303 Norfolk Ave. SWRoanoke, VA US

Jobs must be Legislature's priority
The Legislature should convene with a sole focus on these priorities. Every proposal before the Legislature should be measured by how many jobs it will create, and how many it might cost. By taking time to work through each of these areas we can create an environment that helps our working families achieve a brighter future.
Despite the many challenges we face in California, we have many advantages. We have some of the world's best natural resources, universities, ports, and strategic geographic proximity to major trading partners. But more than that, we have the world's hardest-working, most innovative people. If we can get California's state economic policies to match the strength and resolve of our people, the opportunities for growth, renewal and discovery will be endless.
California is a trailblazer. Throughout our history, we have led the nation in creative entrepreneurialism, in prosperity, in quality of life and in education. Now we need to harness that same power to help lead the nation out of this recession. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "The attraction and superiority of California are in its days. It has better days and more of them, than any other country." Our best days are still ahead of us. But it will take decisive action and tough decisions by state leaders to get there. We can't afford the cost of inaction. The Legislature's focus in 2010 must be getting Californians back to work.
Fletcher, a Republican, represents the 75th Assembly District, which includes Poway, Rancho Santa Fe, part of Escondido and the San Diego communities of La Jolla, Rancho Bernardo, University City and others.

Simon, Gasquet Into Montpellier QFs
Montpellier, France
by ATP Staff|
World No. 12 Gilles Simon won his Montpellier opener on Wednesday, dismissing Flavio Cipolla 6-3, 6-2 to advance to the Open Sud de France quarter-finals.
The second-seeded Frenchman saved all four break points against his serve, and won 77 per cent of his first serve points to claim victory in one hour and 34 minutes over the Italian.
Simon is looking to win his 10th ATP World Tour title. He started the year off by progressing to the semi-finals of the Brisbane International (l. to Dolgopolov). In the final eight, Simon will square off against countryman Guillaume Rufin.
The French wild card and World No. 209 knocked out fifth seed Feliciano Lopez of Spain 7-6(5), 6-3 in 90 minutes.
Lopez fought back from a 0-3 deficit in the first set, but 21-year-old Rufin kept his nerve to record his first Top 20 win and reach his second ATP World Tour quarter-final (2010 Marseille). Rufin dropped 15 points on serve and hit 16 aces, while Lopez struck six double faults and 13 aces.
Fourth seed Richard Gasquet delighted French supporters by beating former World No. 3 Nikolay Davydenko 6-3, 6-4. Gasquet improved to 3-1 against Davydenko after hitting 10 aces for victory in 87 minutes.
Wild card Davydenko, who is ranked outside of the Top 50 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings (at No. 52) for the first time since September 2004, won 15 points on return of serve.
No. 7 seed Philipp Kohlschreiber improved to an 8-3 season record, defeating Edouard Roger-Vasselin 6-4, 7-5. The German fired 10 aces and converted all four of his break point opportunities against the 28-year-old Frenchman to advance to the quarter-finals in one hour and 23 minutes.

Gaza Flotilla Terrorists Set Sail Again
Posted By Arnold Ahlert On July 29, 2014 @ 12:50 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | 107 Comments
[1]Apparently more than willing to pour gasoline on an already raging fire, an anti-Israeli Turkish relief organization, IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, is organizing a "Freedom Flotilla II" to bring "humanitarian" supplies to the Gaza strip. The IHH is the organization responsible for the last attempt to break the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza in a self-inflicted disaster that saw nine Hamas-affiliated terrorists killed [2] by Israeli commandos, who were attacked when they attempted to board the Mavi Marmara. IHH chairman Bulent Yildrim warns [2] that this time, the flotilla will be accompanied by Turkish Navy vessels to "protect us from any potential attack."
As of now, no firm date has been set for this latest effort to incite a violent confrontation with the Jewish State, but Yildrim insists that once the necessary permit from the authorities in Ankara is approved, the activists will set sail. Yildrim is inviting activists who participated in the 2010 trip to join the cause. The military component is based on a demand by Yildrim that the Turkish government provide protection for its own citizens.
The move reflects the increasing deterioration of Turkish-Israeli relations, already severely damaged by the 2010 attempt by the Freedom Flotilla I to challenge Israel's right to block weaponry from entering the Gaza strip.
After the incident aboard the Mavi Marmara, a 2011 UN report [3] by the Palmer Commission concluded Israel was within its legal rights to form the blockade. The report further noted that the naval blockade "was imposed as a legitimate security measure in order to prevent weapons from entering Gaza by sea and its implementation complied with the requirements of international law," that "the flotilla acted recklessly in attempting to breach the naval blockade," and that there were "serious questions about the conduct, true nature and objectives of the flotilla organizers, particularly IHH."
And while the report also concluded that Israel's boarding of the Mavi Marmara was "excessive and unreasonable," it noted that "Israeli Defense Forces personnel faced significant, organized and violent resistance from a group of passengers when they boarded the Mavi Marmara requiring them to use force for their own protection." The panel further recommended that those involved "should consult directly and make every effort to avoid a repetition of the incident."
That isn't likely to happen. After the incident and subsequent report, Turkey ejected [4] Israel's ambassador and recalled its own, but refrained from severing economic ties. But on July 19, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused [5] Israel of "barbarism that surpasses Hitler," regarding its military incursion into Gaza. He further insisted the Jewish State was guilty of using "disproportionate force" that has "derailed efforts to normalize Turkish-Israeli ties," according to the Associated Press. Erdogan is running for the presidency in elections that will be held next month.
In an interview with The Jerusalem Post, Harold Rhode, a senior fellow at the New-York-based Gatestone Institute and a former adviser on Islamic affairs in the office of the American secretary of defense, insisted that the "real issue" in the current conflict is the effort by Turkey and Qatar to throw their support behind the Muslim Brotherhood and its spawn, Hamas. "Erdogan has been associated with the Muslim Brotherhood long before he was prime minister," Rhode said further explaining that Erdogan "is doing whatever he can to help Hamas."
One could make the case the Obama administration is doing the same thing. According to the Times of Israel that nation's unanimous rejection [6] of Secretary of State John Kerry's cease fire plan was so ferocious, it was kept quiet in order to avoid "an open diplomatic confrontation with the United States."
Kerry followed up that visit with one to Paris, where he talked with representatives of none other than Qatar and Turkey, while representatives from Israel, the PLO and Egypt remained uninvited to the table. That would be the same Qatar and Turkey that Israel TV Channel 2's Middle East analyst Ehud Ya'ari referred to as "Hamas's lawyers," and the same nation of Qatar that signed an $11 billion arms deal [7] with the Obama administration that will provide them with Apache attack helicopters, as well as Patriot and Javelin air-defense systems.
Last Friday, Deputy State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf insisted [8] Kerry's regular contact with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu was necessary because Davutoğlu "is a key player in the region and has some leverage he can bring to bear on the situation. They have a relationship with Hamas. I mean, they can, you know, have conversations that we can't."
What conversations are those? On Twitter, Davutoğlu stated that he would talk to "Palestinian parties with the aim of ensuring that merciless attacks targeting our Palestinian brothers come to an immediate end."
Two days later, the Obama administration disputed [9] the idea that Kerry was pushing a Gaza cease fire plan promoted by Qatar and Turkey. An administration spokesman also disputed the notion that Kerry's rejected plan was a formal proposal, characterizing it as a draft framework presented for Israeli input and commentary.
President Obama demonstrated an equal amount of contempt for the realities of an Israeli nation that must not only deal with a missile threat exacerbated by a new secret arms deal [10] between Hamas and North Korea, but a system of tunnels [11] so extensive and sophisticated, they represent an existential threat to Israel's survival. In a phone call to Netanyahu, Obama called for "an immediate, unconditional humanitarian ceasefire that ends hostilities now and leads to a permanent cessation of hostilities." The White House further revealed that the president "reiterated the United States' serious and growing concern about the rising number of Palestinian civilian deaths and the loss of Israeli lives, as well as the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza."
In other words, the Obama administration couldn't care less about leaving Israel completely vulnerable to a tunnel system that could render the Iron Dome, the nation's most effective defensive weapon, obsolete. On Monday, a senior IDF official claimed Israel was in possession [12] of all the attack tunnels, but that contention was disputed by Hamas spokesman Mushir al-Masri who claimed Israel has reached [13] "only a fraction" of them. "We are convinced that our people are on the brink of liberation," Masri added.
It is a liberation that IHH intends to facilitate with the possible aid of the Turkish government—and perhaps Obama's blessing as well. Among the Kerry proposals that reportedly "horrified" the Israeli Cabinet, aside from the idea that Israel accept Hamas's demands for the opening of border crossings into Gaza, and the opening of a post-war funding channel for Hamas (while the vast network [11] of terror tunnels with exits located in Israel was ignored) was the construction of a Gazan seaport.
The maliciousness of such an idea cannot be overstated. When Israel unilaterally ceded Gaza to the Palestinians in 2005, it signed [14] an Agreement on Movement and Access [15] with the Palestinian Authority. It gave the Palestinians full control over their borders, permitting imports and exports, and included an approval for building a seaport. It was only after Hamas launch a murderous coup against the PLO in 2007 that Israel—as well as Egypt–reimposed border restrictions aimed at keeping the U.S.-designated [16] terrorist group from arming itself. The naval blockade was reinstated, and its necessity was made evident as recently as last March. That's when Israel seized [17] a ship carrying M-302 surface-to-surface missiles that were flown to Iran from Syria before being loaded aboard the ship headed for Gaza. At the time the IDF revealed this was not the first arms-smuggling ship it had intercepted, but one "distinguished by the lethality and quality of its cargo."
That reality apparently did nothing to dissuade the Obama administration. During a joint appearance with Kerry last week, Khalid bin Mohamed al-Attiyah of Qatar insisted [18] Gaza "deserves" its own seaport, even "if it's under international supervision." The utter impotency of such supervision was laid bare on July 18, when the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) discovered [19] 20 Hamas-owned missiles in one of their very own Gazan schools—and returned them to Hamas two days later. Israel's Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor illuminated the reality of international monitoring, at least with regard to Israel. "For years, we told you about the thousands of rockets that Hamas was smuggling into Gaza," he said. "We were met with silence. Time and again we called on the international community to condemn the rocket fire and we were met with silence."
The silence surrounding the true nature of IHH is also deafening. Despite its self-promotion as solely a humanitarian organization, Carnegie Endowment analyst Henri Barkey illuminated [20] its greater agenda. "It's an Islamist organization as it has been deeply involved with Hamas for some time," he explained. Barkey's contention echoed a 2006 report [21] by the Danish Institute for International Studies characterizing IHH as one of many "charitable front groups that provide support to al Qaeda" and the global jihad. France's former top counterterrorism judge, Jean-Louis Bruguiere, noted [22] that his own investigation of IHH in the 1990s revealed they "were basically helping al-Qaida when bin Laden started to want to target U.S. soil," he said.
Even more important, information acquired [23] in 2011 by Israel's Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC) revealed that Erdogan actively supported the first flotilla. "Without (IHH's) support, he would not have been elected prime minister," the ITIC report declared, further noting that a fourth of senior IHH staff members had served, or were serving, in senior position in Erdogan's AKP political party.
Prior to the first flotilla's interception by Israel, Yildrim made his organization's genuine intentions clear, vowing [24] to "break the siege," adding if Jerusalem "will be in Muslim hands, the whole world will to be in Muslim hands…. The present rulers of Jerusalem are the Jews, the Zionists. All the suffering and the evil in the world today is a result of that. Therefore Jerusalem must be liberated."
This is the reality behind the first attempt to break the Israeli blockade. If the Turkish Navy supports Freedom Flotilla II, war between Israel and Turkey becomes a real possibility. If such hostilities come to pass, one is left to wonder which side the Obama administration will support. Demanding that Israel cease hostilities even as Hamas retains the capability to threaten the Jewish State's existence—and even after Israel unilaterally agreed [25] to five cease fires Hamas either rejected or violated—sends a troubling message.

I dunno if any of you had this but sometimes I feel like a pice of sh. I sit here and do nothing at all. I stare at the forums, random sites, irc, msn contacts list, refreshing gmail, rss… Sometimes I play games but they are just as good as wasting time. I don't have any problems, I have food, money, girlfriend (she isn't here now) (not in order of importance:D). I'm alone, sometimes I forget to start the music and silence makes me pretty sick.. Or I get phonecalls every 15 mins, and I forget to unpause the music.. I feel like I have no purpose at the moment.
The best part is that this usually happens when I have something to do. These are my 'categories':
- Got a freelance job, I love it, there is a deadline, I'm able to keep it, evertyhing is fine. I do the job, get paid, then rest.
- No job at all, just rest, spending money, going out, biking, training, learning etc.
- Got some stuff to do with or without deadlines, that I don't really like or too complicated for me. When this happens I can't really do anything without guilt from point 2 because there is a feeling that something needs to be done.
- Something will happen in the next few hours (somebody comes, a new job from point 3 is revealed), then I don't start watching a movie even if it would fit in the time. I just do nothing.
Any thoughts?
In the opposite I don't have time for nothing
Life's too short to worry. Do what makes you happy and that will be your purpose
Life's too short to worry. Do what makes you happy and that will be your purpose
Wise Just got an item customization task and it already made my day.
I dunno if any of you had this but sometimes I feel like a pice of sh. I… Any thoughts?
Well I don't have a lot of free time but i keep the fun for the weekend, motorcycle… i use to do a lot of skydiving and some more crazy stuff but i have a daughter that i need to keep in my mind.
Any way if you feel like pice of sh…… some time (you said that not me) ,I have a great therapy solution for you ,try to trash Msfx from time to time, at start you wont feel any deference, but as the time goes by the more you trash the man you will see how your mind will open to a new flash idea's and new frontiers will be at your hand reach, just try it…. thanks me later
Funny, a known fenomena, like standing on the foot of mount kilimanjaro and needing to climb it. Best solution -> "Make a start only". And do/plan nothing more. Only make a few minutes time to start the very very beginning and stop after that. Leave it alone for some time and inspirational impulses should usually/hopefully get you back being productive again.
Works for me in about 80 to 90% of the times. Only in cases of severe AS complicated stuff to solve or having started sketches/designs I really don't like at all sometimes it doesn't work.
Tsafi: skydiving is a great idea. I don't have any problems with MSFX , however
patrickjansen: Will try that. Do i get it right: Force myself to start, then stop after a few minutes, and wait till I want to do it because ideas are popping in my mind?
I struggled with similar feelings for ages.. the cure is organisation. Set yourself clear, short term goals at the start of each week. Oh and never work weekends.
I'm in the same spot as you. I just feel like I'm not progressing much, sort of watching time go by.
There's a little Date/Time display at the corner of the screen. It just keeps jumping ten minutes at a time! WTF ?
But then again, the tips given by Denners here are awesome; organize your weekly goals, choose a couple of days a week as your "off time" and do other stuff like skydiving (preferably with a parachute).

Charlie Louvin
Charlie Louvin
Tompkins Square
When Charlie Louvin sings, "Why must you come back and haunt me?" he could be talking about his brother Ira, who died in a 1965 car accident. Or he might be referring to George Jones, whose guest vocal rises up from Charlie Louvin's first song, "Must You Throw Dirt in My Face," like a drunk from the middle of a dark country lane. Along with its array of famous singers deployed in cameos that sometimes last only a few seconds, Charlie Louvin puts the 79-year-old country star's thick, patient, and somewhat inexpressive voice front and center, with the likes of Jones, Elvis Costello, Bobby Bare, and Marty Stuart filling the void Ira left. Ira's inspired, reckless mandolin playing and superb vocal harmonies powered the Louvin Brothers' best work—no other country act managed to sound so pious about murder and apocalypse. And while Charlie producer Mark Nevers doesn't attempt to reproduce that interplay here, he decorates stark celebrations like "Knoxville Girl" and "The Great Atomic Power" with light irony—the latter stirs in creepy children's vocals, a wash of feedback guitar, and a few harmonies from Jeff Tweedy. It's hard to tell whether Charlie relishes the prospect of an explosion "blotting out the works of man," but that indifference is a perk of age. Still, when he sings "Ira," you know he misses his brother for sure.

Stocks on the long-term trade based on fundamentals. Fundamentals are defined as the cash flow the position provides over a longer period of time. Fundamentals are a foundation of investing and most market participants look at this closely when making investment decisions. Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway [ BIR'A 27.916 +0.016 (+0.06%) ] has used this over a long period of time to provide excellent results to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders.
But it's clear that momentum cannot be ignored as it does impact the movement of asset prices.
While it is dangerous (and not appropriate for most investors) to look solely at momentum as a trading trigger, we do believe it is important to recognize how sentiment effects the price of assets.
It's also important to recognize that assets that have strong fundamentals on the long-term often trade irrationally on a momentum basis. It's why a company that slightly misses earnings (but with great future business prospects) might trade down significantly so because of short-term momentum. Short-term price movements are driven by traders with shorter-term time horizons (often less than a year), and this can cause noise in the price of shares and in the value of assets in the marketplace.
China is a perfect example of sentiment versus fundamentals.Page 1 of 3 | Next Page

HoopsHype JJ Hickson rumors
Chris Haynes: A source close to the situation tells @CSNNW that as of right now, there's not one deal that makes sense for #Blazers F/C JJ Hickson. Twitter @ChrisBHaynes
As we reported a few days ago, the Nets do like Hickson, who is very much available. Portland isn't interested in making the playoffs. Hickson would definitely help the Nets at power forward. With Hickson, they don't need to sign Kenyon Martin. Who wants him, anyway? - Mitch Lawrence New York Daily News
Chris Broussard: Portland asking for a 1st round pick for JJ Hickson and finding no takers so far. Twitter @Chris_Broussard
Ken Berger: Portland's effort to find a first-round pick for J.J. Hickson "doesn't look good right now," league source says. Twitter @KBergCBS
Jason Lloyd: #Cavs made offer to Sac to remove pick protections from Hickson/Casspi trade, league source said. Deal died with Sac/Hou trade last night Twitter @JasonLloydABJ
A spokesman for the Blazers said Wednesday that Hickson's tweets were treated as an internal matter that has been addressed. The team has a Twitter policy which it reviews with the players. Hickson is not the first person to say something considered objectionable on Twitter. But as a member of the Trail Blazers, he represents the team and the NBA. His Twitter profile says he plays for the Blazers. "I think I represent the Trail Blazers great. When I tweet, I tweet outside basketball. Like I said, it's my personal things I do and like I said, it's an opinion," he said. "I can do something good and a million people think it's something good and one person thinks it's wrong." Oregonian
Adrian Wojnarowski: Charlotte discussed Gerald Henderson for Timofey Mozgov (Denver) and J.J. Hickson (Portland) but talks gained no traction, sources tell Y! Twitter @WojYahooNBA
When I told him it didn't seem to make sense for him to accept a trade (because he would lose his Bird rights) and I didn't see a scenario in which a trade would happen, Hickson flashed his big pearly whites and nodded in approval. "There you go then — you just said it," he said, laughing. "You just answered all your questions." Oregonian
So as Thursday's NBA trade deadline nears, as Hickson's name continues to surface as part of trade speculation, he's not the least bit concerned. "I'm not going to get all hysterical about it being the trade deadline," Hickson said. "I've been traded before. I've been waived before. This is nothing new to me." Oregonian
Well, not quite. What would it take for Hickson to forfeit his Bird rights and approve a trade? "It's not a point of what it would take," Hickson said. "I'm still a Trail Blazer right now and that's what I have to worry about. I'm committed to Portland and this basketball team. I'm not worried about approving a trade until that comes up. If it doesn't come up, then obviously Portland's not willing to trade me and that's a good thing for me. But if it does, I'll deal with it when I cross that path." Oregonian
As for Thursday's trade deadline, Hickson is approaching it as "been there, done that." He said Tuesday night that he has not talked to Olshey about trade speculation and does not plan to. He will stay in contact with his agent, Andy Miller, to keep up on rumors. He almost certainly will hear more gossip from friends and family. But he's been through it before, so he's prepared. "It's just a lot of talk," Hickson said. "At the trade deadline, everyone kind of panics and gets into a frenzy. The media makes it into something it's not. It's just a matter of dealing with that situation when it gets there. Besides that, I'm just playing basketball right now." Oregonian
The Blazers continue to try to extract a future first-round pick for J.J. Hickson. CBSSports.com
Portland Trail Blazers forward/center J.J. Hickson acknowledged that a series of Twitter messages he sent on Valentine's Day could have been construed as offensive, but said that it wasn't his intention to offend. "I meant no harm by my tweets," Hickson said after the Blazers lost to the Phoenix Suns, 102-98, at the Rose Garden on Tuesday night. "I meant no harm in any way. I'm not that type of person to cause harm or commit harm to anyone. It's an opinion and everyone has one. It just matters what side of the fence you're on." Blazers Edge
The messages provoked responses that were both supportive and critical, and some users raised questions about the suggestive nature and demeaning tone of some of the messages. Asked by Anne Peterson of the Associated Press if he understood that his messages might have offended some readers, he acknowledged that he did, upon reflection. "Yeah, now that you asked me that question, yeah," he said. Blazers Edge
"I think I represent the Trail Blazers great," he said. "What I tweet and what I do outside of basketball, that's my personal things that I do. I could do something good and one million people would think it's good and one person thinks it's wrong." The messages were meant to be humorous, he concluded. "It definitely was jokes," he said of his intention. "Some people take it out of proportion and want to do other things with it. That's their problem, not mine." Blazers Edge
The NBA has a social media policy that applies to its players but it's not yet clear whether Hickson's messages violated the policy. The Blazers said Tuesday that they will investigate. Blazers Edge
Darren Wolfson: Not sure who the #Twolves trade targets are. Working on. Told again no on Josh Smith. No on Hickson. And while they like Redick, doubtful. Twitter @DarrenWolfson
Adrian Wojnarowski: Portland still willing to move J.J. Hickson, but hasn't found an appealing offer yet, sources tell Y! Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Stefan Bondy: Heard the Nets are interested in Portland's JJ Hickson, who can veto a trade. Hickson would lose his Bird Rights if dealt. Twitter @NYDNInterNets
JJ Hickson: S/O to all the strippers in the world. I know society y'all a bad reputation. It's good tho I don't judge. I definitely respect y'all hustle Twitter @Hickson21
