PWC consulting online tests
I took the online tests for PWC management consulting scheme and to my surprise I got a message that my application was rejected.
The surprising thing is that I have always passed this kind of tests before - for both consulting and IB -
Apart from numerical and logical, there were two other tests - student talent and personality (204 questions) - both had totally rubbish questions.
Anyone can tell me what's the pass mark for the tests? and do the personality tests matter in the decision? I was quite a loss at answering some of those questions, especially when you have to tick what "least" and what "most" applies to you because often all of them applied but i still needed to select one for the "least" category...so silly!
your views would be greatly appreciated.

BIO: Time Obscured Photography is the work of Manda Rose, an artist based in Worcester / Boston, MA. *Currently shooting in MA, NY, RI, NH and throughout New England. Available on location anywhere in the universe with paid travel.
Time Obscured Photography explores a multi-layered idea of beauty that is quirky, often dark and a bit mysterious. These are not simply snapshots of models, but imagery that takes the subject to a level that is slightly more mystical- saints, sinners, innocence, darkness, ecstasy, beauty, and sweetness with a quirk or strangeness to it all.
By imagining and creating the initial styling and theme with each subject and then taking the image into a detailed digital editing phase, Manda is able to meld inspiration from her subject's unique personality with her own personal expression and interpretation of the subject.
Aside from photography, Manda works in communications, marketing and social media, is passionate about vegan food and co-runs a local non-profit along with a group of dedicated animal activists.
BOOKING: Booking 2014 for creative shoots. Seeking paid work -Will only consider trade with experienced designers & talent, agency work, or if shoot will result in tear sheets.

Superstar Mohanlal-starrer Malayalam thriller "Drishyam", which celebrates its 50-day run Thursday, has emerged as the biggest hit in Malayalam filmdom. The film has so far collected over Rs.35 crore at the box-office.
The film, which released Dec 19 last year, was reportedly made on a budget of Rs.4.5 crore.
"It celebrates 50-day run at the box-office not only in Kerala but as well as in Tamil Nadu. We don't know the exact figure but it has raked in over Rs.35 crore so far. It has turned out to be biggest hit in Malayalam industry," trade analyst Trinath told IANS.
A tautly made thriller, the film revolves around the efforts of a father to cover up a murder committed by his family member.
"Drishyam" will soon be remade in Tamil with Kamal Haasan and with Daggubati Venkatesh in Telugu.
While Jeethu Joseph, who directed the original, will helm the Tamil remake, actor-filmmaker Sripriya will direct the Telugu version.
Talks are also on for a Hindi remake of the film as well.

A Tough Look at a Key Environmental Law ; A Congressional Group Finishes Public Hearings on Law That Assesses Impacts of Federal Projects
Brad Knickerbocker writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
The National Environmental Policy Act - known as the Magna Carta of US environmental laws - is under intense political scrutiny.
For 35 years, NEPA has required that everything built or operated on federal land that "significantly affects the quality of the human environment" be scrutinized for its impact. Thousands of construction projects and other ventures - from highways, dams, and water projects to military bases and oil drilling - have been adjusted and in some cases scrapped because of the law.
The requirements of this Nixon-era act have done much for environmental protection, its supporters say. NEPA also has acted as a "sunshine law," opening the political process involving such decisions to all Americans through "environmental impact statements" allowing for public comment.
But the law has also been the basis for hundreds of lawsuits, in effect becoming a tool for activists to slow or kill many projects. NEPA also has greatly added to the cost of public works, energy development, and other beneficial projects, critics say. Most recently, it has been charged, environmental lawsuits under NEPA stymied US Army Corps of Engineers plans that might have lessened the impact of hurricane Katrina along the Gulf Coast.
A congressional task has just ended a series of public hearings in five states and Washington, D.C. Lawmakers heard from a range of interests - the New Mexico Cattle Growers' Association, the Women's Mining Coalition, the Zuni Tribe, the Sierra Club, energy lobbyists, and local officials. A report and recommendations from the task force are expected shortly. It's unclear whether these will produce major changes to NEPA, as some environmental activists fear, or merely tweaks in the law.
Task force's marching orders
In either case, the working premise of the 20-member task force has been made clear by its chairwoman: "What started as an overly vague single-paragraph statute is now 25 pages of regulations, 1,500 court cases, and hundreds of pending lawsuits that are blocking important projects and economic growth," said Rep. Cathy McMorris (R) of Washington. "Too often we are hearing horror stories about endless reams of paper needed to complete the environmental impact statements."
The law's supporters see it as a "look-before-you-leap" measure that has brought about a new way of considering long-range environmental impacts of things like river dredging, new power plants, and waste disposal. In the case of New Orleans, environmentalists point out, the US Army Corps of Engineers responded to a NEPA challenge (upheld by a federal judge in 1977) by withdrawing its plan for new levees. …

Self-Beliefs and Background Variables as Predictors of School Withdrawal of Adolescent Students
House, J. Daniel, Child Study Journal
There has been a recent interest in adolescent students' school withdrawal and in the identification of factors that may be related to their failure to continue in the educational system. The purpose of this study was to examine the contributions of academic background, self-beliefs, and other factors toward the explanation of school withdrawal by adolescent students. There were several findings from this study. First, both academic background and self-beliefs were significant predictors of school withdrawal. Second. specific self-beliefs (such as financial goals and social goals) showed significant negative relationships with school withdrawal. Third, the relationships between self-beliefs and school withdrawal were different for minority and majority students. These results provide support for the efficacy of academic background and other variables as predictors of adolescent students' school withdrawal.
There has been a recent interest in adolescent students' school withdrawal and in the identification of factors that may be related to their failure to continue in the educational system. Thousands of students leave high school each year without having earned a diploma (Vallerand, Fortier, & Guay, 1997) and many of those students may experience subsequent personal difficulty (Tidwell, 1988). For a national sample of students who continued their education after high school and enrolled in post-secondary education, recent findings indicated that only about 26% completed a bachelor's degree five years later (Berkner, Cuccaro-Alamin, & McCormick, 1996). Further, there is concern about low college graduation rates for minority students (Carter & Wilson, 1997). Consequently, there is a need for research that assesses the effects of specific student characteristics on their subsequent withdrawal from school. In addition, research is needed that evaluates those predictive relationships simultaneously for minority an d majority students.
Two factors that appear to be related to grade performance and withdrawal from high school or college are students' academic self-concept and their achievement expectancies. In many studies, continued enrollment in school is referred to as persistence (Milem & Berger, 1997). Students who persisted in high school despite having low grades tended to show higher levels of self-esteem than did students who left school (Finn & Rock, 1997). Similarly, students who dropped out of high school tended to show a lack of self-determined motivation when compared to students who persisted in school (Vallerand, Fortier, & Guay, 1997). Further, numerous studies have found a significant predictive relationship between adolescent students' academic selfconcept and their subsequent grade performance (House, 1993a, 1997: Marsh & Yeung, 1997; Mboya, 1986; Vrugt, 1994). The results of these studies suggest that higher levels of academic selfconcept were associated with higher levels of academic achievement. Considering adolescent students in post-secondary education, academic self-concept and achievement expectancies have been shown to be significant predictors of performance in specific courses (House, 1995b, 1995c, 1996) and of school withdrawal (House, 1992, 1993b). Further, self-concept and achievement expectancies have predicted the school persistence of minority students (Brown & Robinson Kurpius, 1997; Fuertes, Sedlacek, & Liu, 1994; Lin, LaCounte, & Eder, 1988; Pavel & Padilla, 1993; Trippi, & Stewart, 1989). Because of these findings, it has been suggested that the effects of factors such as academic self-concept and achievement expectancies on subsequent achievement outcomes be more fully explored, particularly for minority students (Falk & Aitken, 1984; Tracey & Sedlacek, 1987).
A number of other factors have been reported to be associated with students' academic performance. These findings have been reported for students at all levels of education (elementary, secondary, and post-secondary). …

Tutorial for a Watercolor Illustration by Built4everWatch
©2010-2016 Built4ever
AHA! A tutorial! Fun! Now I can misunderstand my own lack of self-knowledge! ... This is a good exercise in trying to explain how I do it, since many have asked, and especially because I paint watercolor on toned paper, giving an effect closer to gouache, in an impressionist style. Any comments, suggestions, ideas are welcome. I might do another one since scanning between steps is easy. The initial drawing was very light and would not show up well as a separate step.
Thank you for sharing your process! starting out with Gouache myself atm. This gives me a nice insight ^.^
Yes, almost an obsolete medium in the design profession when it used to be king, I use watercolor like gouache...
Yeah, especially looking at some of Syd Meade's stuff o.O my teacher did a lesson on gouache, and I really like using it! I like how diverse it can be.
I like the way you use watercolour, I might try it out later on ^.^
I like the way you use watercolour, I might try it out later on ^.^
Excellent choice. At that time gouache was the medium of choice for car designers and illustrators. You can get very flat even tones which reproduce well. Syd's stuff is dated in sense. Many cars look like 1973 LTDs and Cadillacs that went through an extreme hot-rod shop. His technique on those fantasy retro/future pieces like the giant robot horse race piece and another one I saw, with mid-tone only atmospheric backgrounds, monochromish, dusty looking is outstanding. My bro was a car designer taught in Detroit in the mid 80's and this was their medium. It's now obsolete.
Wow, you're amazing!
Ok, this is what I was searching for. I also think that description of the steps would be helpful. I'm waiting for more tutorials Anyway, thank you for sharing this.
thanx .. it's amazing & useful as well
Good. Watercolor is tricky and demanding. You can always re-do or edit the computer software but not this! I wonder if I should put a description of each step? Would that be better or not necessary?
Great tutorial! I like your work and it's neat to see a step-by-step progress of one of them!
Yes! A few ongoing discussions led me to try this. My technique is different than other watercolor specialists. Even I don't understand myself so it's good for me.

- We advise you to exercise normal safety precautions in French Polynesia. You should exercise common sense and look out for suspicious behaviour, as you would in Australia. Monitor the media and other sources for changes to local travelling conditions.
- Industrial disputes and strikes have the potential to cause disruption to the supply of essential services and transport, including international air links. You should monitor developments and plan accordingly. See Safety and security.
- Cyclone season in French Polynesia is from November to April. However, tropical storms and cyclones may occur in other months. See Additional information.
- An outbreak of chikungunya virus has caused a number of deaths in French Polynesia, and outbreaks of dengue fever are also common. We recommend that you take precautions against being bitten by mosquitos. Outbreaks of leptospirosis occur. See Health for more information.
- See Travel Smart for general advice for all travellers.
- Australia has a consulate in French Polynesia headed by an Honorary Consul, who provides limited consular assistance. The Australian Consulate-General in New Caledonia provides full consular assistance to Australians in French Polynesia. See Where to get help.
- Be a smart traveller. Before heading overseas:
- organise comprehensive travel insurance and check what circumstances and activities are not covered by your policy
- register your travel and contact details, so we can contact you in an emergency
- subscribe to this travel advice to receive free email updates each time it's reissued
- follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
Entry and exit
Australian tourists can enter French Polynesia without a visa in most circumstances. Contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of France, or visit their website for the latest information, including on passport and other specific requirements.
Some goods are either prohibited from entering French Polynesia or require specific formalities. Refer to the websites (in french) of the French High Commission in French Polynesia and of the Biosecurity Department of French Polynesia for the most up-to-date information.
Safety and security
Civil unrest/Political tension
Industrial disputes and strikes have the potential to cause social unrest and disruption to the supply of essential services and transport, including international air links. In the event of strike action, you should check the status of flights with your airline before travelling to the airport and contact your tour operator to check if tourist services have been disrupted.
You should avoid demonstrations and large public gatherings as they may turn violent.
French Polynesia has a low incidence of serious crime. Petty crime does occur. Be aware of your personal belongings at all times and don't leave your belongings unattended or unsecured.
Terrorism is a threat throughout the world. See our Terrorist Threat Worldwide bulletin.
Money and valuables
The currency in French Polynesia is the Pacific Franc (XPF - Franc Pacifique). Money exchange services are available at most banks, the international airport, licensed exchange offices, at hotels and resorts. Credit cards and ATM facilities may not be available at smaller shops and on the more remote islands and atolls.
Your passport is a valuable document that is attractive to criminals who may try to use your identity to commit crimes. It should always be kept in a safe place. You are required by Australian law to report a lost or stolen passport online or contact the nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate as soon as possible.
Local travel
If you intend to hire cars, motorcycles, jet skis or any other motorised water sport equipment, talk to your insurer to check if you are covered by your insurance policy.
For information on driver's licence requirements in French Polynesia, contact the nearest French Embassy or Consulate. See also our road travel page.
The safety standards you might expect of transport and tour operators, including adventure activities such as diving, may not be of the same level as in Australia. Sufficient safety equipment may not be provided and recommended maintenance standards and safety precautions may not be observed. Always use available safety equipment, such as lifejackets or seatbelts, even if others don't. If appropriate safety equipment is not available, you should use another provider.
Airline safety
The Australian Government does not provide information on the safety of individual commercial airlines or flight paths. See instead the Aviation Safety Network website for information on aviation safety in French Polynesia.
Please also refer to our general air travel page for information on aviation safety and security.
French Polynesia is an overseas territory of France and a mix of French and local laws apply. See the Laws section of our travel advice for France for information on French laws.
You are subject to the local laws in French Polynesia, including ones that appear harsh by Australian standards. If you're arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you under our Consular Services Charter. But we cannot get you out of trouble or out of jail. Research laws before travelling, especially for an extended stay.
Penalties for drug offences, even possession of small amounts, include fines and imprisonment. See our Drugs page.
French law allowing same-sex marriages also applies in French Polynesia. Outside of the main tourist islands of Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora, French Polynesia remains a conservative society. Same sex couples should avoid public displays of affection in these areas. For more information, see our LGBTI travellers page.
Some Australian criminal laws, such as those relating to money laundering, bribery of foreign public officials, terrorism, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, child pornography, and child sex tourism, apply to Australians overseas. Australians who commit these offences while overseas may be prosecuted in Australia.
Local Customs
Other than the tourist islands of Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora, French Polynesia is a conservative society and you should dress and behave modestly outside tourist resorts.
Information for dual nationals
Our Dual nationals page provides information.
We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. The Australian Government will not pay for a traveller's medical expenses overseas or medical evacuation costs.
It is important to consider your physical and mental health before travelling overseas. We encourage you to consider having vaccinations before you travel. At least eight weeks before you depart, make an appointment with your doctor or travel clinic for a basic health check-up, and to discuss your travel plans and any implications for your health, particularly if you have an existing medical condition. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides information for travellers and our health page also provides useful information for travellers on staying healthy.
Medical facilities in the capital Papeete are comparable with those of a medium-sized rural hospital in Australia. However, facilities in the outlying areas and on remote islands, including Bora Bora, are basic. Medical and hospital costs in French Polynesia are extremely high.
Rescue and emergency services are of a high standard although distances between the capital, Papeete, and the outer islands could delay the response to an emergency. A medical evacuation to Australia can cost tens of thousands of Australian dollars.
There is only one hyperbaric (decompression) facility in French Polynesia, in Papeete. Many of the popular dive sites are located on other islands and it may take hours to reach the decompression facility in the event of an accident. Many registered dive companies require participants to have insurance cover for diving. Regardless, you should ensure that your insurance covers whatever activity you intend to undertake.
Tap water in Papeete is considered safe to drink. It is recommended, however, that you boil all drinking water or drink only bottled water in rural areas.
Mosquito-borne diseases: An outbreak of chikungunya virus has caused a number of deaths in French Polynesia. Outbreaks of dengue fever are common during the warm wet months of February to May. It is strongly recommended you take precautions against being bitten by mosquitoes, including using an insect repellent, wearing loose fitting, light coloured clothing and ensuring your accommodation is mosquito proof. Seek medical advice if you have a fever. Local authorities have dengue fever and chikungunya virus prevention measures in place. For further information see the WHO's fact sheets on dengue and chikungunya. The mosquito-borne disease filariasis also occurs, particularly in rural areas.
Cases relating to the Zika Virus have previously been identified in French Polynesia. See our Zika Virus bulletin for more information.
Leptospirosis Outbreaks of leptospirosis occur. Local authorities recommend wearing closed-in shoes when walking. Avoid swimming in rivers and contact with muddy water. For information on leptospirosis, see the World Health organisation's website.
Where to get help
Depending on your enquiry, your best option may be to first contact your family, friends, airline, travel agent, tour operator, employer or travel insurer. Your travel insurer should have a 24 hour emergency number.
In an emergency, you can contact the police on 17, ambulance on 15 and 18 for fire. You should also obtain a police report when reporting a crime.
If the matter relates to complaints about tourism services or products, contact the service provider directly.
The Consular Services Charter explains what the Australian Government can and cannot do to assist Australians overseas.
Australia has a Consulate in French Polynesia headed by an Honorary Consul. The Consulate provides limited consular assistance which does not include the issue of Australian passports.

Additional information
Natural disasters, severe weather and climate
If a natural disaster occurs, follow the advice of local authorities.
The French High Commission in French Polynesia has procedures in place for natural disasters, such as severe weather, strong winds, strong swells, tsunamis, heavy rains, thunderstorms and cyclones. We recommend that you monitor the High Commission website for weather notifications and up-to-date information. In the event of an emergency, the French High Commission will open a hotline to their Emergency Management Centre. The hotline can be reached at +689 40 44 42 10.
If you are travelling after a cyclone or natural disaster, you should contact your tour operator to check whether tourist services at your planned destination have been affected.
Cyclone season for French Polynesia is from November to April. However, tropical storms and cyclones may also occur in other months. The direction and strength of cyclones can change with little warning.
In the event of an approaching cyclone, you should identify your nearest safe location, follow the instructions of local authorities and monitor the media and weather reports for the latest developments.
Flights in and out of affected areas could be delayed or suspended. Available flights may fill quickly. The cyclone could also affect access to sea ports in the region. In some areas, adequate shelter from a severe cyclone may not be available to all who may choose to stay. You should familiarise yourself with your hotel or cruise ship evacuation plans. You should carry your travel documents at all times (i.e. passport, photo identification) or secure them in a safe, waterproof location. We also suggest that you contact friends and family in Australia with updates about your welfare and whereabouts. For further information, see our Severe weather page.
French Polynesia has a five-level cyclone alert system: YELLOW (potential cyclone activity in the next 72 hours), ORANGE (potential cyclone activity in the next 48 hours), RED (cyclone is imminent – in the next 12 to 18 hours), PURPLE (assessment of damage phase) and GREEN (end of cyclone alert). Details on the alert system and recommended activities during each level can be found on the French High Commission website.
The Weather Bureau in French Polynesia (Meteo-France Polynesia Francaise) provides weather information (in French) on its website, by phone on 44 27 08 and fax on 44 27 09 (both numbers are for within French Polynesia only).
You can also get detailed weather information from The Fiji Meteorological Service, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, US Navy.
French Polynesia is in an active earthquake area. Further information on earthquakes and other natural disasters can be obtained from the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System.
All oceanic regions of the world can experience tsunamis, but in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, there is a more frequent occurrence of large, destructive tsunamis because of the many large earthquakes along major tectonic plate boundaries and ocean trenches. The French High Commission Tsunami Alert brochure advises that there are two likely evacuation scenarios; organised and immediate. In the case of an emergency follow the directions of local authorities. See the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center website or the Tsunami Awareness brochure for more information.

Multiplication Problems
It's a brilliant idea: Film the same eight people every seven years, beginning at age seven. It makes for the ultimate documentary, and a potentially revelatory gaze at the mysterious interaction between individual trajectory and social conditioning.
It's also a damn weird idea, especially now, in light of The Truman Show, Ed TV, The Real World, Behind the Music, Oprah, Jerry Springer, and all the rest of it. If you squint your eyes and look at it sideways, the Up series, which began in 1964, looks like it was the avant-garde of what would become a late-20th-century fascination (at least in the West) with documenting "real life" and magnifying it back to real people. Apart from its actual subject matter, the series itself is a curious historical document, and its subjects rather like guinea pigs. (Perhaps, in keeping with the fad, someone will one day make a documentary about the making of the documentary.) No wonder so many of the subjects have expressed discomfort with taking part. And how interesting that the child who became a documentarian himself dropped out entirely!
The series started with 7 Up, a look at class differences as expressed through the playground behavior of eight British schoolchildren. Luckily for the filmmakers--including a 22-year-old Michael Apted--the children did act out their class assignments through play. 7 Up was an act of social conscience, with a message less severe but not essentially different from Pink Floyd's in The Wall: The British class system molded children like so much ground beef. (When the announcer in 7 Up says, "Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man," it sounds more like a pointed political statement than a Jesuitical truism.)
Ah, but there's something evil, stupid, and capitulating about liberal propaganda that would have us believe we're all mere victims of The System. Kind of boring, too. So Apted's series gradually became a more personal exploration of people's emotional lives through the chutes and ladders of adolescence, young adulthood, and early middle age. It's not what you'd call hard-hitting stuff, and it's less revealing than one would hope. But at least the series is humane, and--unlike Springer--it always includes class as part of the context for people's individual troubles. Also unlike Springer, every one of the participants is remarkably thoughtful.
Humane or not, the films also illuminate the power struggle between documentarian and subject, played out over and over. Judging from articles (including no fewer than three separate, lengthy pieces in the New York Times), the Up films have only become more important to Apted personally and professionally. A mostly mainstream director, Apted (Coal Miner's Daughter, Gorillas in the Mist, Nell, and, bizarrely, the latest James Bond movie) is respected but not lionized--except, perhaps, for the Up films. He has said: "When I pack it all in, I think [Up] will be my signature piece." But the films seem to give no joy to most of their subjects. In 42 Up, many of them look as uncomfortable as ever in front of the camera. And all of them, one senses, are retaining key bits of information about themselves that would help us to understand them better. The part of you that's burned out on invasive media wants to cheer for these independent people--but the truth-seeker would prefer something else.
Take Neil, arguably the most interesting of the bunch. In 21 Up, he was a vagabond in the countryside, obviously dogged by gigantic phantoms of misery and delusion. Apted did ask whether he ever feared for his sanity, but we never understood exactly what was going on. (Schizophrenia? Bipolarity? Unresolved childhood abuse?) In 42 Up, Neil surprises us with an almost supernatural renaissance of self--he's confident, self-nurturing, and productive. Obviously something major happened, and one suspects it has something to do with a crackerjack shrink and some heavenly meds. Then again, maybe not.
Or take Lynn, a working-class woman who became a children's librarian and has stayed happily married to her youthful sweetheart. She has apparently awesome kids and seemingly fulfilling work. Yet Lynn comes across as one of the most morose people in the film, uncharmed by life and no fun at all on camera. Again, we're obviously missing key info here. Does she have some horrid secret illness? Was she raped? Does she hate Michael Apted? Does she have tragically unfulfilled ambitions? Or is she just one of those people who always seem unhappy?
The guessing game only gets tougher with people's spouses. Tony, a teenage jockey who now drives a cab, seems to be married to a real sourpuss who just doesn't love her husband much, if she ever did. ("I couldn't get rid of him" was how she described their courtship in an earlier episode.) In 35 Up and 42 Up, Tony's infidelity is revealed. But you have to wonder which came first: Tony's misbehavior or his wife's awfulness. And do I feel sympathetic with this cheater because Apted does? Somehow, it sounds like a blessed sign of life when this man, who has seen his share of disappointments, explains his misstep by saying, "Life is for living."
In fact, Tony's episode is one of the more intriguing ones, partly because he's so open. (And could this have to do with his sideline ambition as an actor?) When he shows Apted his remodeled house and yard, his concern over money is obvious. One can imagine this couple believing that if they threw enough cash at their home, they might be able to salvage their family. Tony seems quietly desperate as he stands in his new back yard and says, "I think this must be the limits for me." Only the next episode will tell whether he meant the limit of his life or of his patience.
Viewing these people's lives in soap-opera terms--who got sick, who got divorced, who got married or quit their job--makes it hard not to feel a little cheap. But it's impossible not to focus on the surface when the marrow of their lives is hidden. One can't blame Apted entirely for this. Yes, his career is staked on the project and so he has to play nice. But at some point, it's silly for people to take part at all if they're not going to share their hearts. Maybe our aforementioned absentee documentarian understands this better than anyone.
The moments when the subjects do let us inside feel suspended, magnified. One thinks, "Ah, this is how it should be." My personal favorite, the upper-crust Susie, has come to realize in 42 Up, after many years of moody, guarded interviews, that she has something important to share. After losing both her parents in a short span of time, Susie became a bereavement counselor, and she speaks about the grieving process with an openness she could never muster as a younger woman recovering from her parents' divorce. And then there's Nick, the scientist with whom Apted admits he has much in common. (Both left England to pursue their dreams in America.) Nick has always been likable enough, but in 42 Up he becomes deep. When he returns to the remote farm where he grew up, we see that at the core of his scientific work lies a poetic pursuit of beauty.
As Apted grows more intimate with these people, his own absence from the films becomes more obvious. As he has pointed out, their age difference of 15 years is less significant each time out. And these days, when "objectivity" is officially recognized as a beautiful dream, it's more clear than ever that these films are, in an obscure way, also Apted's life story. Maybe someone--our elusive documentarian?--actually should make that documentary about the documentary. If nothing else, it would help us understand why so many of these people are so retiring in interviews with Apted. (It's tough to blame it entirely on British reserve.) Unfortunately for the film, the more people conceal (Apted included), the less chance we have to really love them. That is: to understand them and, in a sense, to forgive them for all the ways they remind us of ourselves.
42 Up starts Friday at U Film Society.

BP 'cap' is latest in long line of failures
Oil continues to gush from a 'cap' put on top BP's runaway well, not just from escape valves (which is expected), but from the seal on the bottom of the cap, which was supposed to nearly stop the flow of oil. Evidence of the cap's failure was seen in a live BP video feed from the well site this morning showing the so-called "top hat" containment cap rocking from side to side.
One likely cause for the cap's inability to make a tight seal is the failure of a diamond wire saw to make a clean cut through the attachment pipe. The diamond wire saw became jammed and BP had to use a giant shears cutting tool that leaves rough edges. Efforts to smooth the edges later appear not to have done enough to result in a good fit between the cap and the riser pipe.
BP's official position this morning is that the cap "should work," according to company COO Doug Suttles.
"I'm actually pretty confident this is going to work," he said on ABC's Good Morning America today. "It probably won't capture all the flow, but it should capture the vast majority." Suttles had estimated a 90 percent capture rate talking on CBS earlier Friday.
Gallow's humor is becoming more common on websites where experts gather to discuss the spill in real time. One contributor to the popular site The Oil Drum, speculated this morning that "Attempts after the top hat will be with the Scottish terrier, race car, and iron, in that order." Those are player pieces in the board game Monopoly.
Meanwhile, pictures of oil-covered birds, some dead, are a reminder of the grim reality behind the spreading oil, which continues to flow into and across the Gulf of Mexico.
You can watch all 12 live BP "spillcams" on my blog, The Phoenix Sun, here.

I can't say enough good about the shows I've seen at the Grange Performing Arts Theatre. Every show I've seen there have been worthy of praise. Edgy, raw (at times :) high energy and thought provoking with talent abundant. I even learned a bit about history with "Bloody Bloody" and loved the vocal expertise exhibited. All I can say is "Keep doin' what you're doin'" I got some favorite actors in your troop so I'm hoping they will be in up coming shows so I can enjoy them in new and different roles. Great job!

Eyedea dedication ceremony planned for this Sunday in St. Paul
It's hard to believe that an entire year has passed since we lost Micheal Larsen, a.k.a Eyedea. This Sunday, October 16, marks the one-year anniversary of Larsen's death, and to mark the occasion his mother has organized a dedication ceremony and concert in St. Paul's Cherokee Park, where she says Larsen spent a lot of time throughout his childhood and teen years.
"For everyone who would like a place to go, be close, or see a place he spent a lot of time, I'm putting a bench, picnic table and plaque in Cherokee Park in his honor," writes Larsen's mother, Kathy Averill. "As a child I would take him there to play, swing, just be in nature. When he was a teen we would go sit on the bank and just be silent. He would ride his bike there, take the dog for walks, and by adulthood he would write music there."
Though the event is free and open to all ages, Averill is asking for donations to help cover expenses, which can be made online via a link on the event's Facebook page. She also conducted a poll in advance of the event, asking fans to vote on which Eyedea lyric they would like to see engraved on one of the park's picnic tables.
Though the lineup for Sunday's ceremony is being kept a secret, those close to the event are promising lots of surprise appearances by both local and national acts. The ceremony will take place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. this Sunday.

The maximum spacing between receptacles, according to the National Electric Code, has been set at 12-feet since 1956--with no point along a wall being more than 6-feet from a receptacle. The logic behind that number is that an appliance with a standard length cord could then be plugged-in anywhere along the wall. The prior maximum spacing was 20-feet.
Several other standards also come into play: each wall more than 2-feet long needs a receptacle, and hallways more than 10-feet require one. Also, kitchen counters now have a more stringent standard: no point along the back of the counter can be more than 2-feet from a receptacle, and any counter more than 1-foot long requires a receptacle. These tighter standards have developed over the years in response to the increasing use of plug-in electric appliances around the home. Home electric consumption has been increasing at a rate of about 5% per year for a while now.
And, obviously, older homes have fewer receptacles. It's not uncommon to have one receptacle per bedroom in a 1940s era bungalow, and only one receptacle at the kitchen counter.
Equally important, though, are locations where an electric receptacles should not be placed:
★ Receptacles should not be placed lower than 18-inches above a garage floor. Gasoline fumes from a car parked in the garage are heavier than air, and accumulate at the floor. The slight arcing that happens when a cord is plugged-in can set off an explosion.
★ Although one receptacle should be placed near each bathroom sink, it should not be placed behind the sink, to avoid the possibility of the cord drooping into a sink full of water.
★ Receptacles directly over a baseboard electric heater are a no-no. The cord could come in contact with the top of the heater and melt.
★ A receptacle should not be flush-mounted on a horizontal surface where it may have water splashed on it, like at kitchen counter. And a floor receptacle in a dry area, like a living room, should have a special "rated" cover that protects the slots when not in use.
As electric technology has evolved over the years, so have receptacles. GFCI-protected receptacles are now required in wet areas, for personal shock protection. AFCI-protected receptacles, which recognize arcing in the circuit for fire protection, have also been phased into the code requirements. And receptacles that only open to allow standard cord prongs (and not any metal object that a curious child may try to stick into it) are the latest improvement.

"Eiscafe Cortina" Lüdenscheid Restaurant Tip by yumyum
Lüdenscheid Restaurants: 14 reviews and 34 photos
The Eiscafe Cortina is smack on the main shopping street in Luedenscheid, the Wilhelmstrasse. I walked past many times and it's always full and therefore a local favourite.
So, one day I grabbed the chance to have a big iced chocolate (Riesen Eis Schokolade) there. In July 2011 it cost Euro 4.70. I also had a black tea for Euro 1.70.
The cafe is quite big with two rows of outdoor seating in the warm season. Inside they have also an upstairs floor, there you also find the bathrooms.
You may also buy take away ice cream at the counter. Their ice cream menu for sitting down is huge.
Address: Wilhelmstrasse 20, 58511 Luedenscheid

A $20 billion plan to gird New York with levees, flood gates and other defenses is a bold stroke from a mayor who saw the city through Superstorm Sandy and has championed preparedness for global warming. But the future of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's sweeping proposals will largely rest with his successor.
A $20 billion plan to gird New York with levees, flood gates and other defenses is a bold stroke from a mayor who saw the city through Superstorm Sandy and has championed preparedness for global warming. But the future of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's sweeping proposals will largely rest with his successor.
The slate of projects Bloomberg outlined Tuesday marks one of the biggest, most ambitious plans ever for defending a major U.S. city from the rising seas and severe weather that climate change is expected to bring. Recommendations range from installing removable flood walls in lower Manhattan to restoring marshes in Jamaica Bay in Queens, and from flood-proofing homes to setting repair timeframe standards for phone and Internet service providers.
With less than seven months left in office, Bloomberg said his administration plans to start on projects such as fortifying beaches and to begin designing others and lining up money, but he acknowledged much of the work would extend beyond his term.
"It's up to you," he told a crowd of officials and others at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, "to hold the next administration accountable for getting it done."

Most Read Stories
With that said, the ideas face an uncertain political landscape amid the bevy of candidates seeking Bloomberg's job, including at least one who suggests the proposals may be needlessly expensive. It also remains to be seen what kind of support – financial and otherwise – they might get from the federal government and other entities, not to mention from New Yorkers themselves.
Several mayoral candidates praised the mayor for thinking big, and Democrat Sal Albanese, Republican George McDonald and GOP front-runner Joe Lhota said they were inclined to pursue its major projects. Democratic front-runner Christine Quinn, who heads a City Council that is making its own proposals, called Bloomberg's report "a roadmap for future mayors."
Others raised some caveats.
Democrat Bill de Blasio, the city's elected public advocate, praised the all-encompassing approach but said officials need to ensure the plan does enough to help the poor and doesn't rely too much on uncertain federal support.
And Republican John Catsimatidis, who has questioned whether the effects of climate change are overstated, wondered in a statement whether the city could spend considerably less and still get adequate protection.
"The $19.5 billion price tag is a huge amount of money," said the billionaire candidate, whose businesses include oil, real estate and grocery stores.
Bloomberg said the city and federal money already allocated for Sandy relief would provide $10 billion for the project, and the city believes it could get at least $5 billion more from the federal government. Other options include a small surcharge on homeowners' insurance, around $1 a month for a homeowner who pays a $1,000 premium a year, according to a 400-page city report on the plan.
Environmentalists, real estate interests and local officials hailed the plan as far-reaching and comprehensive. "The mayor has rightly decided to face the future," Natural Resources Defense Council Executive Director Peter Lehner wrote in a blog post. The proposals would dwarf the estimated $12 billion that the Army Corps of Engineers has spent so far to improve the New Orleans area's floodwalls, gates and levees since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
In lower Manhattan, a removable system of posts and slats could be deployed to form temporary flood walls rising from ground level along the waterfront. The height would depend on the ground elevation and potential surge. The approach is used along some Midwestern rivers and in the Netherlands, city officials said.
Projects also include a 15-to-20-foot levee to guard part of Staten Island, building dunes in the Rockaways, building barrier systems of levees and gates to bar one creek from carrying floodwaters inland, and possibly creating a levee and a sizeable new "Seaport City" development in lower Manhattan.
Bloomberg acknowledged some projects could block water views and otherwise prove controversial. But "if we're going to save lives and protect the lives of communities, we're going to have to live with some of the new realities," he said.
After Sandy, at least some New Yorkers are ready for it, Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro said.
"The constituents that I talk to would take a 15-foot wall tomorrow," he said.
The plan doesn't call for moving people out of coastal communities. And it dismisses building massive storm surge barriers with gates and levees, an idea some researchers and residents have promoted but Bloomberg has long called impractical.
A lower Manhattan community board had called for a study of storm surge barriers, but former chairwoman Julie Menin said Wednesday she was delighted with the removable walls and other solutions Bloomberg had proposed.
"It's going to protect the communities," said Menin, who is now running for Manhattan borough president.
