A Pennsylvania native, Katherine Wagenhals studied at Smith College and at the Art Students League in New York and at the Académie Moderne in Paris before making her way to Fort Wayne, Indiana. There she may have taught t the Fort Wayne School of Art with her talented relatives the printmakers Jessie and Norah Hamilton.
This prim lady in a blue suit and rather assertive bonnet won Wagenhals the Art Association of Indianapolis Purchase Prize in 1916. Although the genteel setting falls within the tradition of interiors painted by the Boston School artists, the thick, simple strokes used to suggest the visitor's hands show Wagenhals' familiarity with bolder painting styles. The tidy background of straight lines and 90 degree angles reinforces the impression of propriety. If not for the sitter's intelligent expression and alert bearing, the door in the background might be interpreted as a symbol of a highly desired departure rather than a welcome arrival.

Lady GaGa NOT Tapped to Play Amy Winehouse in Biopic
A few months after the death of Amy Winehouse, it has been rumored that a possible biopic for the late singer is underway with Lady GaGa taking on the lead role. However, the spinning report has now been slammed by Amy's father, Mitch Winehouse.
Taking to his Twitter account on Tuesday, December 13, Mitch shot down the rumor by writing, "I never said Lady GaGa will play Amy in film." He added, "Also Amy's room not a shrine. Wot a load of rubbish."
The report that GaGa might star in the untitled Amy Winehouse biopic was first reported by Mirror which claimed that Mitch gave his blessing for the eccentric "Born This Way" singer to play his late daughter. The tabloid even reported that Mitch said GaGa "would be great" in portraying the "Rehab" hitmaker.
In related news, it has recently been reported that Mitch insisted he would never let Amy's life story to be adapted in a feature film. "It would hardly be a biopic without the music and we'd never allow the songs to be released," he said in an interview with Daily Mail.
However, Mitch's spokesperson has clarified the statement to Entertainment Weekly, saying that Mitch would consider allowing his daughter music to be featured in a biopic. The rep said, "Mitch and the family would entertain ideas perhaps for a film but only one they were sure would tell the truth."

"Two and a half millennia after the buddha walked on earth, another walks in his foot steps" - welcome to dharamshala, the land of dalai lama, a charming little town with elegant bungalow. Dharamshala enjoys the unique distinction of being the chosen home of the spiritual and temporal head of the tibetan people.
set against the magnificent backdrop of the towering dhauladhar ranges, which rise up to more than 4000 meters, dharamshala, which literally means the holy refuge, lies perched up on the high slopes in the upper reaches of the kangra valley. Founded in 1855, it is one of the 80 hill resorts developed in the seventeenth century by the british to beat the heat and dust of the sweltering plains.
the colonial origin, the tibetan influence and the kangra air make an invigorating cocktail with a unique blend. Dharamshala stands out amongst the other hill-stations of india. It is also an archetypal getaway for the jaded city souls with thatched cottages nestling amidst thick coniferous forests. As one looks up, the green fringes merge with the snow-clad mountains and as your eyes shift downwards, the vast panorama of the kangra valley embraces you. It is a no holds barred battle of the eye with the scenery and one wonders how much the eyes can behold this quiet rhapsody of the nature.
Is it a tale of two cities? The town is divided in flesh and soul into two halves, each with its own character. The lower dharamshala is the main town at 1250 meters. The upper dharamshala or mcleod ganj from dharamshala by road, it is a 10 kilometers drive, which takes almost the same time as you would, walking up the steep path. The only reason that you would like to visit lower dharamshala would be to see the kangra art museum, which has a treasure trove of the art and crafts of region.
The vestiges of the raj dot the town - foremost is the church of st. John in the wilderness. There is a well-maintained, old graveyard. It reminds one of other old graveyards in hill-stations like mussoorie and shimla. These are perhaps the only peaceful places left in the hustle and bustle of these touristic places and your best bet if you are looking for peace!
cleodganj - the little lhasa is thick with the tibetan cultural feel. It is an altogether different world where the crisp breeze is broken by chanting of the hymns along with the tinkling of the prayer wheels. The place was once full of hippies who have since moved out with the crowds inundating the town. For a research scholar, mcleodganj offers a host of possibilities and to the not-so-scholarly souls, a cultural bonanza awaits.
First lets look at what has mcleodganj got to offer to the hungry palette and then we will look into spiritual stuff! The tibetan run restaurants give you an ample respite from dal, chapatti and rice that you get in most other places. If you are fond of momos, thukpa, and the likes, you have come to the right place. Tsongkha restaurant, yak restaurant, snowland and shangrila are some of the place, which serve excellent food. A constant flow of westerners has brought in its wake a number of restaurants and eateries, which offer the kind of food that is not so commonly available in india.
Abode of the dalai lama
but dharamshala is better known as dalai lama's abode and tibet's government-in-exile after the chinese invasion of lhasa in october 1959. Needless to say, a visit to dharamshala would be considered irreverent without a peek into the various monasteries dotting the hillsides. A visit to the namgyal monastery, ensconcing the center of tibetan studies is nothing short of mandatory. 'Tsuglagkhang', opposite the dalai lama's residence reminds one of lhasa - it contains large gilded bronzes of the buddha, avalokiteswara and padmasambhava.
The other places of interest are the museum at the nechung monastery which is three kilometers downhill on the way to dharamshala and the norbulingka institute which has become a major center of learning. You could see young artists learning thangka painting.
When the dalai lama is in residence, he heads the prayers. For an audience with the dalai lama who is also believed to be the reincarnation of buddha, special permission needs to be taken with a proper request in writing at the security office near hotel tibet. The best time to see his him is after the tibetan new year, which falls in march. The living deity gives spiritual discourses for 10 days.
The hotels and guest houses are all full at this time of the year when dharamshala is at its colorful best. If you really want to savor the place, the best thing to do is to stay at a family run place. Himachal tourism also runs a few comfortable rest houses to suit all budgets.
If one is into meditation, there are a number of classes held by monks for the beginners, as well as advance practitioners. Tushita meditation center is one such outfit, which offers clean residential accommodation as well. There are also a number of alternate medicine doctors in the little town. It is not unusual to find monks from the western countries.
After satisfying your palette and your soul, you could go out for a nice long walk or an arduous trek. Bhagsunath, three kilometers away is an easy option after momos and beer. There is a temple, a spring and also a waterfall. Dal Lake is a major disappointment, as it does no justice to its name. An annual fair is held here in the month of September. It is worthwhile walking up to Naddi, which offers a splendid view of the Dhauladhar ranges. If you are adventurous enough, the Mountaineering Institute can organize treks, rock climbing and rappelling. They normally would like to do this for groups of 10 or above.
However, the best thing about Dharamshala is the easygoing pace, the peaceful expression on everybody's face. It is a place where you would like to do the ordinary things in life, where you would like to let yourself loose and forget about hectic schedules and maddening self imposed deadlines!

I'm pretty thrilled to perform at the Ann Arbor District Library on Friday, January 30th. It's a place I've loved and provides a service I've used since I first moved to the area many years ago. They've continued to grow, evolve, and adapt with the times, inspiring me to try and do the same. As the collection has spread and each regional branch taken on its own personality, I still feel a particular fondness for the old downtown building which has always felt like the center and beating heart of the city. No matter how much information I can now get from my phone or computer, I know there is still more to learn in those stacks than I'll ever be able to get to in 50 lifetimes.
I'll be joined on piano and accordion by my good friend and longtime collaborator Patrick Herek. The show is free and will be held in the Multi-Purpose room downstairs which I'm referring to as the Room of Requirement.

Patent litigation in the US has increased over 230% in the past two decades. Given that, what is the cause of increased US patent litigation? What does this mean for the researchers, lawyers, counsels and executives this affects? And, most importantly, is the explosion of litigation a cause for concern?
The Rise in Patent Litigation
In 2008, 2,896 patent infringement actions were filed – merely 179 fewer than the peak year 2004 – and has been increasing by 5.6 percent since 1991.
Some argue the number of patent suits is a result of our "innovation economy": the spur of innovation in the late 20th century simply created more patented inventions and thus more patent litigation. Statistics released from the USPTO seem to mirror this sentiment; the number of patent filings and patent suits roughly correlate with each other.
Alternatively, it could merely be a reflection of growth in the patent portfolio size of many large firms. Companies have and will continue to use patents as a competitive advantage. In 2009, the top 10 patent-holding firms accounted for 298,466 (7.8%) of all patents granted in the United States since 1977.
Since the increase of patent filings correlates with the increase of patent litigation, a larger patent portfolio suggests an increase in the probability of litigation. Why would organizations want a larger patent portfolio if it increased the risk of being sued?
Many companies saw the advantages of aggressively obtaining patents and maintaining a broad patent portfolio: traditionally, companies had a large portfolio in order to threaten those who assert patents against them with a counter-suit. In other words, imagine that Corporation A asserted a patent against Corporation B. At that point, Corporation B would look in its patent portfolio and find that one of Corporation A's products infringed on a patent owned by Corporation B. Corporation B would then countersue Corporation A.
However, Boston University professors James Bessen and Michael J. Meurer disagree, believing that "the effect of defensive patenting seems weak." They acknowledge:
"Firms may choose to invest in technologies that expose them to a greater risk of infringement suits but they may also attempt to inoculate against this risk by acquiring more patents. These two choices may counteract each other, so that in equilibrium, prospective defendants with larger portfolios might not have lower probabilities of being sued."
With this stalemate, corporations may now be motivated to find a different recourse outside patent litigation.
Given the two opposing view points, what do you believe the cause for increased patent litigation is? Are Bessen and Meurer correct? Or does the more traditional defensive portfolio still hold true?

State Sen. Bob Mensch, R-24th District, will have a Democratic challenger in November.
Lansdale Democrat Jack Hansen got more than three times the 500 write-in votes that he needed to make the fall ballot.
State Sen. Bob Mensch, R-24th District, will have a Democratic challenger in November.
Lansdale Democrat Jack Hansen got more than three times the 500 write-in votes that he needed to make the fall ballot.
A late entry to the May primary election, Hansen received 1,506 write-in votes, including 945 from Montgomery County residents in a district that also includes municipalities in Bucks and Berks counties, according to the final certified primary election tallies.
Hansen, a Lansdale council member who previously has served as council president, made his decision to throw his hat into the ring too late to have his name listed on the May 24 primary ballot. There were no other Democrats seeking to oppose Mensch in November.
"I am deeply moved by everyone who took the time to do a write-in vote for me," Hansen said in a statement. "I will work just as hard for all of you from now until November and even harder when I am elected to serve you in the state Senate."
Mensch, a former Marlborough supervisor, served as a state House member from 2007 to 2009, when he won a special election for the state Senate. He was elected to his first four-year term in the state Senate in 2010 and is seeking his second full four-year term in that office. He had no opposition from within his own party in the GOP primary election.
The 24th District seat includes the Montgomery County municipalities of Douglass, Lower Frederick, Lower Salford, Marlborough, New Hanover, Perkiomen, Salford, Skippack, Towamencin, Upper Frederick, Upper Hanover, Upper Pottsgrove, Upper Salford, West Pottsgrove, East Greenville, Green Lane, Lansdale, Pennsburg, Pottstown, Red Hill, Schwenksville and Trappe.
It also includes Bridgeton, Durham, Milford, Nockamixon, Richland, Springfield, Tinicum, Quakertown, Richlandtown, Riegelsville and Trumbauersville in Bucks County.
Berks County municipalities are Colebrookdale, District, Earl, Hereford, Longswamp, Pike, Rockland and Washington townships, and the boroughs of Bally, Bechtelsville and Boyertown.

Went to Ocean Grove after having stayed in NYC for several days. Surfed through Google Maps for hotel recommendations and finally booked at The Ocean Plaza - and were really surprised...

After working for many years in Paris, Soutine produced a series of works in towns in the South of France. The subject and colouring of this work are not far from the calm analysis of landscape undertaken by Cézanne. However, Soutine's handling of paint conveys an agitated, frenetic quality, suggesting a confrontation with the earthy forces of nature. The town reels under the painter's energy and appears to rear up over us.

Ok. So here goes.... First I would like to say advice is more than welcome, Please! But I do not need anyone judging me or telling me Im sick or wrong. I just want to see if there is any helpful advice that I can actually follow to help me through this.
I am 31 and Bisexual and I am pregnant. I usually say... I USED to be bisexual because I am now married to a man. The relationship directly prior to this was with a female. My husband feels that any outside relationship intamacy is cheating. OK. I give him that and agreed that its just us from here on out. Here is the issue.... I am hard core craving a female. In particular, my ex.
Here is a little backround- My ex gf and I broke up because she left me for a man. I was not in a stable environment and neither was she, but to me it didn't really matter because I loved her so much. The only time I was happy was when I was around her and her son. She was my best friend and I never had such a huge connection with anyone. I was totally smitten. She would tell me all the time that she wishes she could "provide" more for me but all I ever wanted her to provide was herself. So she meets this guy who is well off and she moves in with him and tells me its better that way. I was heartbroken but I could never get her off my mind. We continued to talk and she eventually moved out of his place, but by then I was engaged and figured that I couldn't trust her. I was afraid if I gave her another shot she would do it again and it wasn't worth the risk to end it with my fiance.Ā
When I got married in April, my husband insisted I cut off all communication from her and even accused me of cheating justĀbecause she sent me a text message. (That was before the wedding) He then prceeded to send her a facebook message cussing her out and calling her a home wrecker! The text said "Hey, Whats up, girl?" No Lie! My husband is the jealous type and I will openly admitt I NEVER loved him the way I love her. I married him for the wrong reasons. He is protective and committed. He would never stray from me. He would never do to me what she did. BUT... He is not fun, he is not sweet or loving. He is bitchy and controllingĀand crass and he yells at my kids. He has been mentally and financially abusive to me. (When heĀaccused me of cheating and I went for a drive to cool off, I stopped at the store to grab a phone chargerĀwhich I had been meaning to pick up and he had locked the bank account so all my money was inaccessable)ĀWe have had sex a total of 5 times since we have been married and only twice since we found out I was pregnant and I ALWAYS have to initiate. I like sex... a lot. Especially now that ImĀ5 months pregnant. I want it all the time. Any day, any time, right now, Im good to go. I have rejected him in the past because of how horrible he makes me feel during the day but that was probablyĀ4Āor 5Āmonths ago. I got a toy and he threw it out saying that its just as bad as cheating... Really?! Im cheating on my husband with ME??!!
We have been going to counselling and it has helped a little. He isn't as mean as he used to be and I can tell he is trying to make it work but I can't change him. I mean, he is who he is. The counselor suggested that I let my ex go and dont have any contact with her but I just can't. I stopped for a couple months but I think of her everyday, I dream about her everynight and I'm disappointed when I wake up and he is there instead of her. Lately I have been sneaking around and messaging her on facebook and we talk about how much we miss eachother. I cry almost everytime we talk. She is my soul mate but now here I am, married, pregnant, horney, and miserable. I crave her. Her taste, her smell, her voice...
My husband and I moved about 100 miles out of town right before we got married and money is a little tight (not a lot but gas is expensive and we have a baby on the way) so we don't visit often, and when we do its the both of us. So its not like I have the chance to do anything inappropriate. Part of me wants to just leave him but #1. I have nowhere to go. Nowhere. #2. My kids are used toĀhim now. We have a nice home, they like school and the town is really great. And they have both said that they love him and they can tell he is trying to be nicer to us. They are 10 years old and 7 years old.Ā#3. Everything I have is also his. The car is in both of our names, the house, the bank account... #4. Im having his baby and I was a single mom with 2 kids for a long time I don't want to be single with number 3. Besides, I don't think if I leave I will be happy. I don't KNOW that her and I will get back together and go on our merry way. She has a bf now. She says we will but how do I know that won't change? Or she decides she wants a man again instead of me? I think if my husband was more loving and we had a deeper bond I could just forget her but that will never happen. I don't think he has it in him.
What I want to know is this: How do I get rid of these feelings I have for her? Its all so Brokeback Mountain... I wish I knew how to quit her. I can't. I love everything about her. She left me 2 years ago. I stopped talking to her for at least 2 maybe 3 months but I can't ever get away from the dreams and the feelings. And with my hormones raging the way they are and my husband being completely aloof and I feel so fat and unattractive and her telling me Im glowing and beautiful.... UUUGH! I just want her so bad. What do I do? Please HELP!

I don't know what it is, but I love riding in weather. Well other than wind. More on that in a moment. I commuted yesterday in Seatle type weather, with dreary skies and mistiness in the 60s, so I was wet from the inside out under my rain shirt.
Midnight came and it was time to head out for home, and the rain was drizzly. About ten miles into the ride the rain was coming down in sheets. I pulled up under a highway overpass the bikepath goes under, and this freight train comes out of the night heading the other way, it was an eerie, ominous beast and a lot of noise.
Well, today on the commute I passed through the same site recalling seeing the train, and a little further down, there was a deer carcass crows were feeding off. My guess is, in the rain last night the deer got traped between the train and fence and freaked out, it didn't look badly damaged like a deer hit by a train would look. I was glad today was a cold wet day as well as windy, cause that animal is going to stink, and oofff, I'll avoid that route for a while were it summer.
Okay, so now the wind. Impossible! I kept recalling last year's refrain, "if it doesn't kill me it will make me stronger." I was riding into a head wind of 17-21 MPH, with gusts to 30MPH, absolutely horrific. I suppose on a geared bike such a commute is taken with ease. I don't do anything easily, I was riding my fixie 48x15 into this wind. It was so bad my face is wind burned. Absolutely freakin' crazy, yet I made it to work and got the usual stares and questions, did I ride, how was the wind, and you're crazy. I can't complain though, for I did flip a coin, best 2 out of 3 and the bike won, otherwise I'd have been in my van waisting money and gas.

It takes a special breed to be a bike courier. Part gear head, part adrenaline junkie and ready to throw themselves into daily mess of gridlock, getting a package from A to B on two wheels isn't a task for just anybody. While we've seen more than enough thrillers on four wheels, "Premium Rush" has to be one of the first in which a bicycle is the preferred method of transport. And in the first trailer for the Joseph Gordon-Levitt vehicle, it looks like it's aiming strictly for B-movie thrills.
Directed by writer/director David Koepp ("The Trigger Effect," "Secret Window") the story follows a New York City bike courier (JGL) who is accidentally carrying something that a crooked New York cop (Michael Shannon) is after. Frankly, our hope for this to be halfway decent is probably clouding our judgement a bit, but we're really hoping this at least provides some decent popcorn entertainment. And if there is any redeeming factor, the promise of seeing JGL and Shannon is pretty tantalizing. But our first impressions on this are a bit circumspect and the hypercut editing and pop-up graphics are a bit...distracting.
Anyway, guess we'll find out when "Premium Rush" hits theaters on January 13, 2012.

Notice: this post is at least 6 months old. If the links are broken, we do not have any further information.
Need a new display piece for the den? Perhaps this MH900e with only 80 miles will fit the bill.
from the seller:
This is #1907 of 2000 of these special edition models. I've used it only as (heated, dehumidified) garage art, up on a stand, looking pretty. A beautiful piece of mechanical sculpture. It comes with the Ducati stand, a spare set of directional signals, and factory manuals.
So what would you do if you could throw down on this one? Would you keep it a display piece, or arrive at meets on rare occasion in perfect weather to everyone's envy, or would you put this one right into regular duty? While I'd love to think I could do ride it often, I think it has to be relegated to to a collection right?

While auto-enrollment boosts 401(k) participation, the resulting cost pressure on matching contributions could prompt employers to reduce their match. Analysis using the National Compensation Survey finds that plans with auto-enrollment do have lower match rates than plans without auto-enrollment. This finding suggests that employers may, indeed, be lowering their match rates to keep their total 401(k) costs from rising. Consistent with this notion, a separate analysis found no evidence of higher 401(k) costs for firms with auto-enrollment.

So i found this little prodigy Jonah the other day and i was absolutely amazed. Some of the videos say that he is 3 when playing and others say that he is 4, others say 5… either way i can not believe how good he is with the beats nor how cute he is while playing them.
and another for your entertainment…
And another for you to enjoy…i really do hate this song (because i've heard it so much) but im still amazed.
still not convinced… check out his site again.
im back…
So I know that I haven't posted in a long time, and I am sorry for that. I got a bit bored with the internet for a while and could not get inspired to post anything that meant anything to me. With that said I found something that I was rather shocked to see. I recently joined a group on facebook called "i raved in oregon in the 90's" and while looking at the pics that were on their fan page I saw this pic. I am on the bottom right in the yellow shirt and Adler is on the bottom left with robyn in the middle. It is completely amazing that I found this pic, what are the chances? I have no idea who took this pic and im guessing that this was taken in Seattle considering how big the room is, so with that said… what are the chances that someone took this pic 10years ago… we were walking in the pic at that exact moment…they posted it… and I find it now. I need to play the lottery!!!
henry rollins + electronic music
i found this video from a guy named djsteveporter. he takes henry rollins and his stupid comments about rave music and makes a pretty awesome song out of it. btw i love how he put the technoviking in the video as well..
i guess im a super self important person that carries around suitcases full of records… dooohhh!!!
go ahead and skip this one mom and dad there is a decent amount of cursing envolved.
here is the actual monologue from sir douche bag himself henry rollins if you were curious about what he was saying.
im pretty sure that these are the people that were taking the drugs that henry was talking about…they have the best moves i have ever seen. if only MJ was alive… they could have a dance off.
what is more impressive, the dance moves or the shirt?
catching up with anakin
i found this vid today and was pretty intrigued by what he had to say about life after george lucas. i found it interesting that he says at one point that he has tried to block out a memory of watching the movie that he was in, but i would guess a lot of actors do that…
the rocking is awesomely awkward
now here for something sweet… in the near future i will be getting hitched and i am trying to get my future wife to do something like this just for an ice breaker.
im done with the news…
i think i have officially signed off on watching any type of news. I used to watch fox and realized that they are all a bunch of "the sky is falling" schizos, so then i decided that i would see what cnn is all about… and this is what they report on. obama swatting a fly better than ahmadinejad. REALLY?
hey cnn your nose is a bit brown, and fox the sky is not falling… now report some real news.
i will stick with sportscenter from here on…
so i know its been a while since posting but that is a long a tedious story so ill skip it. with that said i give you skatebang. i have no idea what madona or the bald dude in the fat suit have to do with anything but watch this video until about 1:20 and that is where it gets good. i had to watch this in segments cause i was laughing to hard…

Becoming a Health Insurance Agent: Your How-To Guide
If you're seeking an exciting career that helps protect the needs of members in your community, becoming a health insurance agent might be right for you. Read on to learn what it takes to become a health insurance agent and what you can do to start a successful career!
Getting Started
Health insurance agents sell policies to consumers to help cover the costs of medical care and loss of income due to illness or injury—making it one of the most rewarding careers out there.
As a health insurance agent, you will be placed into the category of agents known as life and health insurers, which is separate from property and casualty insurers. As a life and health insurer, you will have the option of selling life insurance policies in addition to health insurance polices, an option further discussed below.
Your career as a health insurance agent may depend on the type of education you receive. While non-grads should not be counted out, many companies favor individuals who have earned a bachelor's degree from their college or university of choice. And, while more and more colleges are offering courses in insurance, many health insurance agents have degrees in some of the following areas of study:
o Mathematics
o Accounting
o Business Administration
o Economics
o Marketing
o Liberal Arts
o Public Relations
College guidance counselors are a great resource for insurers in training and can help you select courses that will be of help to you in your new career.
Industry Training & Qualifications
While licensure requirements differ from state to state, you will most likely be required to complete certain pre-licensing courses, which provide basic information on various insurance products, state insurance laws and insurance ethics.
After completing any requisite courses, you will need to obtain a license to sell health insurance in your state. If you plan to sell health insurance only, most states have an Accident and Health license that lets you do exactly that. And, while some agents opt to sell only health insurance, the majority if health insurance agents are also licensed to sell life insurance.
Adding life insurance licensure to your credentials may require you to obtain Series 6 or Series 7 accreditation, depending on the qualifications set by your employer. With a Series 6 license, you can sell mutual funds and variable annuities, while a Series 7 license allows you to sell a full range of financial products. For more information on licensure for life insurance, check out our article: Your Guide to Becoming a Life Insurance Agent.
Depending on your state's insurance law, you may be required to take exams and pay a license fee for each accreditation you earn. Once you've obtained a license in your state, passing a licensure exam in another state will not be required—as long as you provide proof of licensure from your home state and pay the fee to the state in which you want to become licensed.
Begin a Rewarding Career Today!
As a health insurance agent, people in your community will rely on you for financial protection against medical calamities. Start your gratifying career today by contacting the Department of Insurance for more details on selling health insurance in your state!

Many visitors stay in Chiang Mai longer than planned because of the high quality and low cost of accommodation, variety of cuisine and shopping, cool nights, international atmosphere and friendly people. With the increasing number of cultural and spiritual learning experiences available to visitors, Chiang Mai has become more than just a quick stop on the tourist trail. Chiang Mai is Thailand's second largest city, covering some 20,000 square kilometres. With a population of only 250,000 in the city, however, it does not even come close to the size of Bangkok. It lies about 800 kilometres north of Bangkok on a mountainous plateau 310 metres above sea level. The city stands along the Ping River, a major tributary of Bangkok's Chao Praya River.

VMware on VMware
Shifting People and Processes
True business transformation cannot happen without a significant shift in people and processes, creating the blueprint for the organizational structure. People and processes also dictate the certifications and education required at the different stages of an organization's cloud maturity.
Within VMware IT, our people- and process-driven approach has fueled our cloud successes. With the ability to focus less on infrastructure and more on services, people in IT are changing how they work. The focus on services over infrastructure also changes IT's relationship with business users. Thankfully, the days of taking three to six months to implement a project are over. Today, IT teams work as a single team, using Agile or Scrum methodologies to rapidly deliver a service in a short timeframe and iterate quickly to improve and add functionality to the service.
The new mantra is to get something out there as quickly as possible, see how it meets business needs and refine it continuously to mature and adapt to business users' requirements .
Continuous Delivery for DevOps
Using vRealize Code Stream, VMware IT was able to slash release cycle time from 12 hours to 3 hours. People adapted to new processes to take full advantage of the vRealize Code Stream capabilities.
IT Architecture Governance for the Cloud
At the same time IT is leveraging the cloud for "burst" capacity, there is a closer partnership between IT and business users. Because service catalogs enable self-service and self-provisioning, IT departments are now shifting their emphasis to governance, integration, security and business continuity.
Private Cloud: Automating Testing and Streamlining Application Development
VMware IT deployed its own private cloud based on the vCloud Suite. In this model, the VMware development and operations teams are one tenant using the cloud to automate dev test provisioning and streamline application development. This video will show you how automated provisioning has improved how these teams work together.
Private Cloud: Agility and Cost Savings
The VMWare IT team recently deployed a private cloud using the vCloud Suite. This video describes how the VMware IT management team was able to increase its focus on business agility while lowering IT costs by utilizing the private cloud.

Scallops, flip phone, the phone with flap, folding mobile - this child has many names. In this case carries the child, specifically the Sony Ericsson W508, the Walkman name, a brand like Sony Ericsson is undoubtedly happy to have in their portfolio. Walkman name does not mean, contrary to what Sony Ericsson will likely argue, is automatically a sovereign music phone.
Walkman-brand or not, we can give away first as last that the W508 is in no way will be something bomb for those who are looking for a handy music phone to a normal price.
Price wise W508 is in the middle of the tree, and can be a pretty average phone, when we look at the specifications.
The appearance has a degree of plastic character, but the format is completely functional. W508 is relatively thin to be in scallops format, and propagates not particularly out in other directions either.
It also provides a solid quality impression. Folding mechanism seems solid, and the phone is easy to open with one hand. Creaky and other unusual sounds, we did not notice during the test period.
Although you may not take the back cover look and often, we must mention that this was something knob. Whether you should take it on or off.
Cover King
It brings us into an opportunity that almost has laid fallow since the glory days Nokia 5110, 3210 and so on around the turn of the millennium, namely the ability to change the cover.
You can tell the switch cover on the W508. On the front it is only the black field around the external display is unchanged. Then time will show whether the world is once again ripe for interchangeable, we think perhaps that other ways to make mobile personal is more relevant now during the day.
The keys are too flat
Like the phone itself is also a key area. To be Sony Ericsson have the usable size, but flat is the reason why they do not provide all world of the response. Menu keys are particularly small, and is instrumental in the key set must be said to be below average.
Flexible screens have not found their way into mobile phones yet, so the screen is of course also flat. The screen has vibrant colors and is fairly sharp without endless. The size of 2.2 inches would not for many years given standing ovations, now we feel it's small.
For normal use as making calls and sending messages works, however, the screen of course excellent.
Nevertheless, user
Although the keys mentioned are not all the world to shout hurray for, the W508, in spite of this straightforward to use. The explanation is, of course, the menu system, which is known from a host of earlier Sony Ericsson phones. As we have previously stated, this is one of the best menu systems for common cell phones that target business users.
Perfect it is certainly not the largest shortage is perhaps that you do not get displayed calendar entries on the front of the screen, a feature we know very much appreciate. By default, you are offered a rather animated themes for the menus, which means that the response is a little slow.
OK accessories
Picture of the W508 is packed may not be of exciting accessories, but you'll find what you need to use the phone as you intend. Transferring music, pictures and other files you can do both with the data cable or card reader supplied. The memory card of 2 GB means you actually have room for usable with music on your phone.
As it should be for a phone with changeable covers, it comes with an additional pattern, the front cover of the package.
- Battery
- Chargers
- Headset with transitional jack
- Data cable
- USB Card Reader
- 2 GB memory card
- Extra cover

Wild hogs continue to be a growing menace across Oklahoma
The hog wars are ongoing in Oklahoma.
Feral hogs are present in all 77 counties of Oklahoma and the population keeps growing.
"Every year we are getting more complaints and in newer areas," said Kevin Grant, division director of wildlife services for the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry.
"A few years ago we got very few complaints in the northeastern part of the state. Now they are common."
Wild hogs root up pastures and destroy crops and food plots. In one case in Oklahoma, feral hogs even plowed through cemetery, knocking over the tombstones. The damages they cause are tremendous.
"They will eat anything," Grant said. "They are smart. They are prolific."
Texas is so overrun with hogs that they are commonly seen on the roadways. It could be a glimpse of Oklahoma's future.
Hogs reach sexually maturity very quickly and have multiple litters during the year. They are so entrenched in Oklahoma, "You would have to remove 70 percent of the population over a period of years to really see any good come out of it," Grant said.
There is no statewide eradication program of hogs. When requested, the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry can provide temporary relief for landowners through trapping hogs and other methods.
The agency also will shoot hogs from the air, something that landowners now will be able to do on their own property.
Bills introduced this year in the state Legislature to allow aerial hunting of hogs by helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft both passed and were signed into law by Gov. Mary Fallin.
"The problem is now if you shoot one, another takes it place," Grant said.
Wild hogs are a fun animal for hunters to chase but they do carry diseases. Grant encourage hunters to always wear protective gloves when field dressing the animals and to cook the meat thoroughly.
Hog hunting is growing in popularity in Oklahoma but there is a trade-off. Feral swine can ruin a good deer hunting location.
"The problem is right now we've got just enough of a hog population that we are seeing somewhat of a coexistence," Grant said. "But hogs and whitetail deer don't get along. You are not going to see hogs and deer grazing together, I assure you."
Anyone trying to manage a piece of land for deer hunting in Oklahoma will soon, if not already, have to deal with wild hogs.
They knock over deer feeders and devour food plots. And deer are not apt to use a feeder that's been toppled by hogs.
There also is speculation about what impact wild hogs are having on the population of ground nesting birds like turkey and quail.
No one knows for sure but, "it can't be good," Grant said. "Common sense would tell you they are opportunistic and they will eat and root and destroy anything they could find."
While there are ways for landowners to get rid of hogs, there are always more waiting in the wings, Grant said. Fighting hogs is a constant battle with no victory in sight.
"It's kind of like an elephant," Grant said. "You can eat an elephant, but only a bite at a time. What we can do is just whittle away at it."

Would anybody happen to know why? Before anybody asks, no, I haven't tested it on the latest version. I haven't quite felt like updating my version of Essentials just yet - I'm waiting till I finish what I'm doing first before I move it all over.
This is fixed in the newest release.

I believe nothing. I have shut myself away from the rocks and wisdom of ages, and from the so-called great teachers of all time, and perhaps because of that isolation I am given to bizarre hospitalities. I shut the front door upon Christ and Einstein, and at the back door hold out a welcoming hand to little frogs and periwinkles.
May you all have tiny guardians looking out for you.This is one of the things I actually got done this year... what you are seeing is a cropped sample shot of a large scale piece that is part of a series I'm working on for a group show in the theme of Japanese Monsters to be held at Sanctuary Tattoo in February.Basically, I'm taking classic Japanese prints, reproducing them on 22"x30" Somerset Satin paper in sumi ink and watercolor, with the addition of a monster in each otherwise traditional image. I'm also working on some paper lanterns (also painted).

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Lotus Top http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=45253&th=8543#msg_45253 <![CDATA[My first wearable fashion design arrived in a huge box, and it fits perfectly. This design actually arrived several months ago, but I've been refining my process and creating more designs to be sure I have a solid product line before releasing it.

 Lotus Top

 My approach is fairly unique. I scan the subject in 3D and sculpt the design using a haptic interface. The challenge is making it easy to involve customers in this process, and I believe I have a solution for that as well. Photogrammetry reconstruction is just barely becoming good enough to accomplish this sort of work. It still requires extensive measurements, carefully controlled photography, and laborious processing of the resulting data. Constructing the design itself requires some rare hardware and software that can be tricky to use (but a lot of fun). This was not my first design, but this was the first prototype where the measurement numbers were in close enough agreement that I could be fairly certain the fit was accurate (approximately 1% accuracy).

 Here is the final print being worn:

 I'm Happy to be offering this design and several others for sale in my Shapeways shop. The designs could simply be scaled to the customers measurements if their body type matched that of the models, but the shape is not nearly as form-fitting without an actual scan. These perfectly fitted, wearable designs are an example of the first digital couture designs on Shapeways (Continuum offers scan-fit versions on their website, but the Shapeways versions are generic sizes). If you'd like more information on how to aquire a scan, please contact me.

 For those who are interested in the creation process, here are images of another design in progress:
