Holmstrom Takes Abuse And Gets Credit

from the Detroit Free Press,
Trotz listed Holmstrom first and the Islanders' Ryan Smyth second when asked about the players who are unafraid to stand in front, screen the goalie and get deflections."It's like bunting a baseball," Trotz said. "You've got superstar players that can hit 70 home runs a year but they can't bunt the ball. It is an art.
"A guy like Homer will take away the goalie's eyes. It takes some courage, 'cause pucks are getting redirected—they're coming at you at all angles, at a pretty high speed."
Trotz said there are only a handful of guys who are really good like Holmstrom.

Carter Remains Scratched

via the News & Observer,
Anson Carter has been around the NHL long enough that he can't remember the last time he was a healthy scratch. He's also been around long enough to understand why he sat out for the third straight game Tuesday night….
"I've been in the game 11 years," Carter said. "In a situation like this when the team's healthy, especially after winning the Stanley Cup the year before, you're going to look to those guys. It's up to me to stay sharp in practice until I get my shot again. ...
"I look at it as a positive. It was a difficult transition coming in here not really knowing the guys. This gives me a chance to get to know every one, get to know the practices and watch a few games to get a sense of what we're trying to do on the ice."

from Elizabeth Merrill at ESPN,
They chugged Labatt Blue and shared man hugs at Happy Hour just down from 66 Mario Lemieux Place on Tuesday night because the planets aligned and the politicians agreed and hockey was staying in Pittsburgh.
Lemieux was nowhere to be found.
He slipped out of a press conference a mile across town, shielded in a herd of dark power suits, away from the handshakes and backslaps. The job was done, Lemieux saved hockey in Pittsburgh a third time, and the quiet Canadian who has somehow become the face of a blue-collar American city was tired.
"In the deal business, there's a term that people sometimes call 'deal fatigue,'" NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said. "I think the process was wearing on him."

There are some players who probably care less about what's going on their union than some fans do. With Ted Saskin on paid vacation, who's running the union? "Maybe the lady who runs the gift room," Leafs forward Mike Peca told reporters in Toronto. "That's the person the guys go see the most, anyway, to get the free stuff."

from the OC Register,
The same league that gives us the Stanley Cup, the most revered and celebrated championship prize in all of sports, also offers the Presidents' Trophy.
The what?
"That's not our objective," Ducks defenseman Chris Pronger said. "Our sole objective for the season, there was one goal - win the Stanley Cup. That's it. No ifs, ands or buts. There is no other goal than that."
Evidence to support Pronger's stance can be found in the NHL's Official Guide and Record Book. This season's edition features 35 pages of history, information and minutia on the Stanley Cup. About an eighth of a page is devoted to the Presidents' Trophy, merely listing the winners and runners-up.

Just Another Game

from NorthJersey.com,
On another night, Armstrong's elbow probably would have drawn a lot more attention. When the Islanders' Chris Simon took his two-handed stick swing at the Rangers' Ryan Hollweg on Thursday, however, everything else paled by comparison.
It did not change that Lukowich was so jarred by the hit that he spent the night at a Pittsburgh hospital with concussion symptoms. Remarkably, Lukowich played in Buffalo on Saturday night.
Armstrong not only escaped supplementary discipline from the league, but didn't even receive a penalty. What concerns Lukowich, however, is the lack of respect players have shown for each other when it comes to dangerous hits that can cause head injuries.

Average John

from Don Campbell of the Vancouver Sun:
A few days before the NHL trade deadline, Oshawa Generals coach Brad Selwood fielded a call from a Sportsnet producer who wanted to know if John Tavares was available to appear on the network's Feb. 27 trade-day show.
Selwood, a career hockey man, wondered what a 16-year-old hockey player, still 21/2 years from being eligible for the NHL draft, could possibly add to the telecast. It turned out Sportsnet wanted Tavares not for his knowledge and insight, but rather to shoot pucks into a washing machine, just as Sidney Crosby did a couple of years ago on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
On his prodigy's behalf, Selwood said, "No."
On another occasion, a MuchMusic producer asked if Tavares could appear at 4 p.m. that day, live in studio, with the veejays. MuchMusic offered to send a limousine out to pick up Tavares from school and to deliver him right back to Oshawa afterwards.
No dice. The Generals had practice, so Tavares' veejay career remained on hold.

Modano Nets 500th

via the AP at Fox Sports,
Mike Modano of the Dallas Stars became the 39th player in NHL history and the second born in the United States to reach 500 goals Tuesday night.
He scored with 10:24 left in the third period against the Philadelphia Flyers.
The 36-year-old native of Livonia, Mich., beat Flyers goaltender Antero Niittymaki with a quick shot from in front of the net for his 15th goal of the season. That pulled Modano within two of Joe Mullen for the career lead among U.S.-born players.

What Transitions Elsewhere Can Teach Us about the Prospects for Arab Democracy
Advance Praise for Understanding Tahrir Square
"Judicious and far-ranging examination of how the experience of democratization from Central and Eastern Europe to Latin America, Asia, and Africa can help inform our understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing contemporary movements in the Middle East. A timely and practical guide for democracy activists as well as policymakers who want to support their aspirations."
—James B. Steinberg, Dean, The Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University, and former Deputy Secretary of State
"With rigor and clarity Grand assembles an enormous amount of insight and information about democratic transitions from around the world and highlights important possible applications of this comparative experience to the daunting challenges that democracy faces in the Arab world."
—Thomas Carothers, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
"Understanding Tahrir Square is not just a name of a book. It is a long-forgotten fantasy, a desperate wish, and a dilemma more complicated than a daytime soap opera. So, if you really have a weird urge to still try to understand Tahrir Square, get an 8-ball, or better, try your luck with this book."
—Bassem Youssef, Host, Al Bernameg ("The Jon Stewart of Egypt")

Influencing Me – Margaret Olley
Margaret Olley is another Australian Artist. She was well known for her paintings, but also for her philanthropy and was a popular subject matter for many other other artists. She died in July 2011, and was one of the last of that era of painters. An era that was important in the Australian art scene.
She was famous for her still life paintings and that is certainly one of the reasons why I loved her work.
I love how she laid everything out. It was colourful and expressive. Such vibrant colours.
She has been written about a lot and one of the things that always struck with me is that the still lifes were done around her home. She would set up stuff and then paint it, but she would move on as the light changed, so she could be painting multiple paintings at one time.
You know when you see this image that it was done in her kitchen. I wonder how she managed to paint this and use her kitchen. Was she careful to keep everything in place as she did the painting?
When you look at her paintings you can see different ones were done in similar places or the same place. You can also see the same items in other paintings.
I have downloaded quite a few images and will include them in a gallery at the end of this post.
She also had a lovely garden, and many of the flowers in the paintings came from her her garden. I would like to do more of that. My garden is always so flower poor, well I don't have good flowers for doing still life images. It has been a dream of mine to have a garden where I could go out and pick flowers to use in images. One day maybe.
She loved Morandi, remember I did a post on him a few weeks ago. You can see some of his influence on her work as well.
This is not strictly something I set up, it is the set for the play Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, but it reminds me so much of one of her paintings. I know when I was photographing this there was that idea in mind.
I possibly zoom in more than what she did, and my work doesn't tend to be as random, as her work appears, but I do like the idea of the ordinary that is in her work. The everyday.
If you don't know Margaret Olley, then please look her up. I would loved to have met her, now wouldn't that have been amazing. Check out some of the rooms of her home, she had so many things and I wonder if my home will end up looking the same one day. It is certainly on its way to getting there.
The paintings are from various sources, though quite a few are from Eva Breuer Gallery and Savill Galleries.
Margaret Olley is another of my all time favourite artists and she inspires me too, especially in painting.
She has an incredibly interesting story.
I'm enjoying the artists / photographers you are 'highlighting'.. so far many of them are ones I have studied also and am really enjoying revisitng them with you.
Another great post!
Would you mind if I reblog this post?April 15, 2013
No problem at all Robyn.
How wonderful you like the same artists, I wonder what else we have in common.April 15, 2013
Thanks again Robyn, I will do my best.April 15, 2013
I've enjoyed reading these posts about artists who have influenced you! Since I am in thr U.S. they have all been unfamiliar to me but I've liked becoming acquainted with them!April 15, 2013
That is great, it is nice to introduce artists to others.April 15, 2013
Beautiful work, thank you for sharing her with us! I am going to look her up right now.April 15, 2013
She was a character, and you should find heaps about her.April 15, 2013
Love that artist😀 great post!April 15, 2013
She is great isn't she. Thanks AmandaApril 15, 2013
I loved that Margaret Olley looked within and painted her own surroundings in her own way… her affection of bright colours and everday objects, ordinary & beautiful, which in her rendering she somehow elevated to a higher realmApril 15, 2013
That is so true, lovely way of putting it EllaDee. I would love to visit her home, how amazing would it be to photograph?April 15, 2013
There's an interesting article http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/art-and-design/olleys-home-to-be-gutted-sold-then-reborn-in-arts-centre-20121025-28872.html – where it seems "Doors, windows and the kitchen will be removed from Olley's home in Duxford Street as well as most of the contents of the house, and transported to the northern NSW town of Murwillumbah where it will be recreated in the Tweed River Art Gallery."
Sad, I also would have liked to have visited her home.April 15, 2013
I saw that, it would be good if they could preserve, like they did with Whiteley, is that his name?April 15, 2013
I've seen Whitely's studio, brilliant space.
Oh margaret, what you are going to make us do.April 15, 2013
I watched a wonderful interview with her once,she had Barry Humphries interviewing her in her home and yes it was a cluttered and eclectic setting…however her inspirations from her surroundings,though ordinary,proved to be delightful subject matter.Indeed the ordinary is amazing when captured with integrity.I find so many things astounding and inspiring and often they are usually "mundane" objects.Though you may have placed things in your pics it is still an honest snapshot as it brings the same feelings to the eyes of the viewer.My daughter is a street graph artist and she has done some amazing interpretations of things that may be commonplace. It is sad that the art world has lost Ms Ollie as who knows what things she was yet to find extraordinary. Love your picsApril 15, 2013
I saw that interview as well, I love it.
I love how you have described her, just wonderful.April 15, 2013
Yes it was, and I think that is just how she was.April 15, 2013
Beautiful paintings! I have a room in my house that's almost as cluttered as hers!April 15, 2013
Haha, that is great, we have an area under our house that is becoming like that.April 15, 2013
Wow! What a phenomenal artist!April 15, 2013
She certainly was.April 15, 2013
Morandi, Margaret Olley, Olive Cotton and Jim Dine are all favourite artists of mine and it has been great to revisit them with you.April 15, 2013
It is great to hear that you like them and that you have enjoyed the postsApril 15, 2013
Beautifully done, Leanne.April 15, 2013
Thanks for introducing me to this artist! What lovely art and of course your interpretations are fantastic.April 15, 2013
Very interesting post. I love the kitchen scene. Didn't she take pictures and work from those at all. I admire people who can take a real object and draw from it. I can do a passable drawing from a photo – sometimes, but even that is painful for me!April 15, 2013
No, apparently she worked from life, well a still life. Can you imagine what her house must have smelt like, all that paint, and turps, it is pretty amazing she lived as long as she did.
When I was at art school they always told us to draw from life, you got criticised more for doing images from photos. No idea what their problem was.April 15, 2013
I agree! My eyes and brain just don't process 3D and convert it to 2D.April 15, 2013
It is good to be able to draw from life, but getting the perspective right can be really hard.
I am on Google+ if you have timeApril 15, 2013
Sorry, I went to bed right after I read your post. It was 1:30. Tomorrow I get up at 6:30 a.m., so I probably wont stay up that long. We should make an appointment! I'd really love to chat!April 16, 2013
I so love it! I love arts but I think arts doesn't love me back😀April 15, 2013
That can be a problem. I love arts too.:)April 15, 2013
hahahaha… that's because I couldn't paint or even draw! I'm bad on it!😀April 15, 2013
Wonderful!April 15, 2013
beautiful and her scenes have so much depth and warmth to them. loved your set as well, looks like you've captured her spirit and style )April 15, 2013
I do think when I am setting up a still life I think about her a lot and what she would do. I must do more.
ThanksApril 15, 2013
Among all of the really nice images here the two that struck me most were the one of Ms. Olley herself and the one of the cluttered room in her house – they both spoke volumes about her. Nice post. Another in the continuing series … DApril 15, 2013
Thanks Dave, when I saw them, I knew I had to include them, sounds like it was a good decision.April 15, 2013
Beautiful and so interesting, thanks so much.April 15, 2013
She made paintings I would want to live in…Thanks for sharing her work!April 15, 2013
What a great way of putting, I love it. I want her collection of things. Thanks Marie.April 15, 2013
She did John, I just love it.April 15, 2013
No don't feel bad, she is Australian, and well known here, well fairly well known in art circles.
I tried to work out where you were from, if you aren't Australian, then I can totally understand.
Didn't she have an amazing face?April 15, 2013
That explains it then. How interesting. I don't know if it worked either. I have never tried reblogging anything. I don't know if that is bad on my part.
Thank you for share though, I do appreciate it.April 15, 2013
I don't normally have to approve, I don't think, but I didn't get a notification. Sorry.April 15, 2013
Her paintings are beautiful Leanne. Certainly something I would hang up on my wall.April 15, 2013
I would have loved to have one of her paintings, but with a hefty price tag starting at $57,000 it was hard, I just didn't have the cash on me. HahaApril 15, 2013
Though I can admire her work in some galleries.April 15, 2013
Her work is wonderful isn't it? Like you I enjoy how vividly she paints the mundane. Especially the flowers. I love all the flowers.April 15, 2013
It is Liz. Makes you look at your ordinary stuff and wonder what you could do with it. I wish my house wasn't the way it was, I would love do some photos that are similar.April 16, 2013
I never heard of her before, thank you for sharing her work. Remarkable. I can see why she is admired.April 15, 2013
Thank you.April 16, 2013
thank you for sharing, I don't know this artist and find it very fitting you post this subject today because it is the International World Art DayApril 15, 2013
Wow, I didn't know that. I always to seem to miss these things. That is fantastic.April 16, 2013

Ooh, another wonder! And one who has the exact same interests as I do: the extraordinary beauty of the quotidian. My house is as cluttered as hers, too. I keep trying to clear some space, but I never manage it for long.April 15, 2013
LOL, I have the same problem.April 16, 2013
This is the first time I've seen Olley's work! I will read more about her and I quite agree that she has influenced your work… both of you have incredible talent.April 15, 2013
I wish I had her success, that would be so amazing. One day maybe.April 16, 2013
What a cute talented lady. Her place looked like a hot mess (well – that one room did). Yet- she captured everything so neatly in her art.
Love your pic too! Looks liek a nice place to have some tea & a nice conversation.April 16, 2013
Thank you RoSy, I think that was what made me to turn to painting 10 years ago, the fact that you could just not paint things in your image if you wanted. Of course, I can do that on the computer now, but I delete them afterwards. I love the ceremony of tea and conversation, one of my favourites.April 16, 2013
A cluttered room, have two of them … at least close to that stage.
BTW, very nice photo of the cake with the tea.April 16, 2013
I don't have rooms like that, our house is too small, but I could see it potentially happening one day. I am finding it hard to find places for the things I want now. Thanks David.April 16, 2013
her paintings are beautiful…full of texture, detail, colour and life really! I've never heard of her so thank you for sharing!April 16, 2013
It is wonderful to introduce an Australian painter to others, so I am glad you enjoyed her work.April 16, 2013
Wow, how amazing!!! That's really a great art works!!!!April 16, 2013
Isn't it wonderful, and yet so ordinary.April 16, 2013

Thanks for sharing this, I am a new fan of hers now. I also loved seeing the picture of her living room, I need to show it to my husband so he realizes that I'm not that messy!April 16, 2013
Haha, I should show it to my husband as well.April 16, 2013
You and Margaret inspired my post today…http://vsperry.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/the-art-of-the-mess/April 18, 2013
I saw it, haha, very brave of you, I admit, I'm the same, housework, is a word and an activity that is foreign to me, I just can't seem to get a handle on it, haha, it doesn't help that I collect things, for my art of course. I have cups and saucers everywhere, and teapots, jugs, sugar bowls, all those types of things. No where to put them. My husband keeps telling me off.April 18, 2013
Thanks for sharing this talented artist and her works!April 16, 2013
It is wonderful to introduce and share the artists that inspire me, and even better when everyone seems to really enjoy them as well.April 16, 2013
I've certainly heard of Margaret Olley, unfortunately at the time she passed away, but hadn't realised how beautiful her paintings are. I'll have to investigate her work some more.April 16, 2013
Yes, do look for her paintings, they are gorgeous, and there are so many. There has also been a biography written on her.April 16, 2013
Much of Ms. Olley's work has quite an amount of 'Cezanne-influence' it seems, Leanne…and I had never heard of her! (Note to self: Brush up on Australian artists!) Her works are gorgeous, yet simple, with ordinary subject matter that is so splendidly executed it makes one stop and look closer…I think that's the appeal.
Thanks for this post…I'll have to squeeze in some research time…somewhere?April 17, 2013
She was a great lady, and not just a painter, I think, she was a darling of Australian art, if I can put it that way. Everyone mourned her, because of art, but also because of what she represented, a long line of Australian artists from a period that was pretty amazing.
I hope you enjoy what you find out about her.April 18, 2013

Oooown the way she paints make me think she's such an adorable and bright person! So nice!
Also, can I have a piece of that cake? Pretty please?April 24, 2013

Kulturfabrik information
Situated 3.8km east of Bad Deutsch-Altenburg, this 'Culture Factory' is a museum depot for the archaeological riches of the region. It stages changing exhibitions mostly based on its own collection; see the website for details about what's currently on show.
The building in which the depot is housed is an interesting landmark in itself. It dates back to 1847 and was erected on the Danube to manufacture cigarettes and cigars, doing so until the local industry ran out of puff here in the 1990s. Today it has been refurbished with a glass wall fronting the river, offering magnificent views. Entry is via a glass and mirrored lift from street level. The fenestra (Latin for window ) cafe offers fantastic views over the river, best enjoyed sipping coffee or nibbling a snack.

Federal investigators look for Nadel in Slidell, La.
Published: Monday, January 19, 2009 at 3:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 19, 2009 at 5:48 p.m.
Federal law enforcement agents have tracked missing Sarasota hedge fund manager Arthur G. Nadel to Slidell, La., through cell phone records, according to sources close to the investigation.
Nadel called his wife, Peg Nadel, last week and investigators used those records to place him in Slidell, a community of 90,000 northeast of New Orleans, during the weekend, the sources said.
FBI and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigators are believed to be in the city looking for Nadel.
It is unclear, though, how agents would be able to take the 76-year-old Nadel into custody. He is considered a suspect in a $350 million fraud case but officials do not have any charging documents against him.
When they find him. Theyll bring him back. Trust me. Theyre the feds, a source said.
Slidell is just across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, a city famed for its jazz.
Nadel, a former jazz pianist on the New York club scene, generously supported the Sarasota jazz community. His disappearence means that the Jazz Club of Sarasota is canceling eight of nine events he sponsored.
Nadel reportedly has not been seen since Wednesday, the day before other fund managers admitted to customers that their money was gone.
Nadels light green Subaru was found Thursday afternoon at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. Sarasota County Sheriffs deputies searched the car before releasing it to the family.
Nadel, a well-known figure in Sarasotas social and charity worlds, appears to be the key to learning how the hedge funds he oversaw were wiped out.
Sources close to the investigation say some of the missing money may have been moved overseas, they added.
Nadels wife, Peg, said she last saw him Wednesday morning, as he prepared to go to work. She also is a principal in Scoop Management Inc.
Art Nadels last known contact was Wednesday afternoon, when he called his stepson, Geoff Quisenberry, to retrieve a note Nadel had left at his home.
The note, which Quisenberry said referred to suicide, alarmed the family and spurred them to call in a missing person report.
On Saturday, Quisenberry read from a statement prepared by the family: The employees of Scoop Management, which includes Peg Nadel, the wife of Arthur Nadel, have just learned that they, along with many others who have invested money with Art, have been victimized by his unauthorized actions, he read.
In a letter to investors last week, Fund principal Neil V. Moody stated that the funds may have virtually no remaining value, and that no one else at downtown Sarasotas Scoop Management realized the funds were empty.
Law enforcement officials say there is no indication that others in the company were aware that money was missing before Nadels disappearance.

Re: Trying to understand Fico scoring
I read it as the delinquent payments are 3 year 11 months so in 3 years they will drop off - or actually drop off a month or so after that. I have to believe that the negatives are hurting a lot with the small number of open accounts. That is mostly based upon there being nothing else that seems to be a reason, which isn't very solid.
If you are buying a car for cash, it might be better to finance and then pay off quickly so you have little interest. Since interest is based upon the open balance, a big chunk extra with the first payment will give you a high original amount and little spent on interest. I'm thinking this might help credit mix with a recent installment loan.
Never any reason that it makes sense to pay 22% on a CC if you can possibly avoid it.

"Art making is a form of alchemy, in a way, because you are trying…to make gold from nothing. When it works very well is when you manage to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary."
"I am interested in a certain spiritual dimension to the work that I'm doing. A lot of the titles I use come from either religious sources like the Bible or from religious painting. I'm less interested in religion, and more interested in the relationship between religion and the history of religion, the history of art, the history of human consciousness. To me, all these things are very interconnected. It seems difficult to think about contemporary video, even TV broadcasting, without talking about the precedent of painting."

Indian Bonds Completes Worst Week in 5 Months on Cash Shortage
India's 10-year bonds completed the biggest weekly loss in more than five months as a shortage of cash in the banking system reduced demand for debt.
The securities halted a two-week gain as the overnight call money-market rate, at which banks lend to each other, climbed 43 basis points in five days to 6.73 percent. Banks borrowed an average 972 billion rupees ($21.5 billion) this quarter from the central bank's repurchase auction window, compared with 239 billion rupees in the previous three months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"Investors seem to believe the central bank may not take any measures to ease liquidity until the next policy review on Dec. 16," said Debendra Kumar Dash, a fixed-income trader at Development Credit Bank in Mumbai. "So, there is no positive for bonds for now."
The yield on the 7.80 percent note due May 2020 rose 21 basis points this week to 8.18 percent as of the 5 p.m. close in Mumbai, according to the central bank's trading system. It touched 8.13 percent yesterday, the highest level since Oct. 28. The price fell 1.33, or 1.33 rupees per 100 rupee face amount, to 97.56.
Reserve Bank of India Deputy Governor Subir Gokarn signaled on Dec. 1 the central bank will refrain from cutting banks' cash-reserve ratios. The proportion of funds lenders must set aside as reserves is currently 6 percent.
India raised 110 billion rupees ($2.4 billion) selling bonds maturing in 2017, 2022 and 2040, the central bank said.
The cost of one-year interest-rate swaps , a fixed payment made to receive a floating rate, rose two basis points to 6.83 percent.

SMEs leaders should end the culture of silence surrounding mental health and create a workplace environment where employees with mental health issues can speak out without fear of damaging their careers, says Patrick Watt, corporate director at private health firm Bupa.
He said: "We are calling on all businesses to create an environment where people feel able to speak up without fear of discrimination or consequence and say they are not coping. Leaders of businesses have a responsibility to create a business that will listen and help."
He added: "Really good organisations see the value of investing in their people, in both their mental and their physical wellbeing, because they know that healthy people will be productive and engaged people."
Watt said that mental illness includes common problems such as stress, depression and anxiety, as well as more complex problems such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.
He added: "We know from research that the earlier someone puts their hand up and seeks help, the less impact it has, both on the individual and their families and the workplace. So this is about encouraging people to speak up as soon as possible rather than keeping it hidden."
Watt pointed out that according to the mental health charity Mind, one in six workers are affected by mental health problems. That means that in an organisation of ten people there may well be one and possibly two people who are affected by a mental health issue.
He said: "Mental health is a hidden issue that is impacting business performance. We need small and medium sized businesses to kick start the growth of the economy, so if one in six people are not performing to their optimal level that has implications not just for the business but for the economy as a whole."
Watt said that at present many employees hide mental health problems because they fear that speaking out could have an adverse affect on their careers.
He said: "Employees are seeking help for treatments of physical conditions because they are not prepared to admit they have a mental condition. We are seeing more people come to us with skin disorders or upset stomachs because they don't feel comfortable putting their hands up and saying they need help for mental health conditions."
Watt said that contrary to what some people believed, it is possible to effectively treat mental illness and pointed out that there are many treatments and therapies available to help people get better.
Watt called on SME leaders to introduce changes in the workplace to help reduce the impact of stress on their employees, such providing access to yoga classes, encouraging people to take proper lunch breaks, and discouraging them from sending emails at the weekend.
He said that while most instances of stress tend to come from outside the work place, it can be little things at work like a computer not working or phone calls not being answered that create a tipping point.
He said: "There are many things you can do to reduce pressure and stress and there are lots of help and resources out there to support people."
Watt also called on business leaders to create a supportive work environment where mental health problems are viewed in the same way as physical health issues are.
He added: "No-one would worry about putting their hand up and saying they need four weeks off to recover from a broken leg, but if someone has stress or anxiety or depression, no-one wants to say anything. Chief executives should lead by example and tell their employees their business is supportive to those individuals seeking help, and that there will no consequences to those coming forward."

I have a method (C++) that returns a character and takes an array of characters as its parameters.
I'm messing with assembly for the first time and just trying to return the first character of the array in the dl register. Here's what I have so far:
char returnFirstChar(char arrayOfLetters[])
char max;
push eax
push ebx
push ecx
push edx
mov dl, 0
mov eax, arrayOfLetters[0]
xor edx, edx
mov dl, al
mov max, dl
pop edx
pop ecx
pop ebx
pop eax
return max;
For some reason this method returns a ♀
Any idea whats going on? Thanks

Ethiopian Art Exhibit
This album includes SketchUp drawings and photographs of an exhibit of Seattle-based Ethiopian artists. The exhibit was displayed in conjunction with Lucy's Legacy, the Hidden Treasures of Ethiopia at the Pacific Science Center during the fall and winter of 2008.
I had initially been told that this exhibit would include only 5 to 10 works of art. When the artists provided over twice that number, expecting all their works to be hung, I was forced to get creative with my groupings resulting in a tight, multi-level hang.

Thesis Exhibit: Science at the 'Max!
These images, created in Google SketchUp, represent a major visual component of my master's thesis project. For my thesis, I created a proposal for an exhibit titled "Science at the 'Max", which was designed to be displayed outside of the Boeing IMAX Theater at the Pacific Science Center. The purpose of the exhibit was to strengthen and diversify the contribution of the Boeing IMAX Theater to the educational mission of the Pacific Science Center. While the exhibit was never fabricated, the proposal document included a script and concept drawings for every interactive and instructional panel.

This review is from: Crucial M4 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC 7mm Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT256M4SSD1
Pros: The drive worked flawlessly for 6 months.
Cons: Yesterday I switched my laptop on and it wouldn't boot into Windows. I managed to get to a command prompt in safe mode and ran chkdsk to find out that a MASSIVE number (thousand upon thousands) of my files were suddenly corrupted and sitting on bad sectors. Chkdsk was unable to correct all the problems and I now have a drive that is unusable.
Other Thoughts: That this drive failed so catastrophically, in such a short amount of time, is a major bummer. I specifically spent the extra money on an SSD believing it to be less prone to failure (performance was not a major consideration for me).
I'm currently waiting on Crucial's support people to get back to me, I'm hoping they'll give me an advance RMA since I'm in the middle of finals and I'm suddenly without a laptop.
This review is from: DoubleSight DS-305W Black 30" 8ms (GTG) Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1,000:1
Pros: Nice picture quality
The price was right
Cons: The main reason I am coming back to review this again is this annoying screeching sound when the monitor makes in standby mode. I'm not sure if the monitor developed this over time, or if I just never noticed it in the first 6 months I owned the monitor.
The sound is one of those high pitched noises, sorta like a CRT TV makes whenever it's running - the kind of noise older folks usually can't hear, but people with young ears are driven insane by. It's an intermittent sound, coming with a very regular pattern - on for 1.5 seconds, off for maybe 5-6 seconds, then back on again for 1.5 seconds, etc.
It drives me crazy - I can't stand to be in the same room when it's doing it. I usually just turn the monitor off entirely rather than let the power management turn it off automatically. I can't tell if it's coming from the power brick or the unit itself, mainly because those types of high-pitched sounds are very hard to localize.
Other Thoughts: I was the poster of the first review on this site for this monitor (review titled "Mixed bag"). I wanted to post this as an addendum to that post, but couldn't see a way to do so.
I hope that the manufacturer has found a way to correct what is clearly a manufacturing defect, or a design flaw.
This review is from: OmniMount WS3 Silver 13" - 26" Double-Arm Desktop Monitor Mount
Pros: Very well built, smooth motion. The mounting hardware is very high quality, I had no problems installing this for two monitors. Also, good packaging.
Cons: Costly, I guess. Also Newegg only carries the silver version, and I wanted the dark grey version.
Other Thoughts: I bought mine from another store because I wanted the grey color instead of silver. I am using it for the two side monitors in my 3 monitor setup (30" in center, and a portrait mounted 20.1" on each side).
So far it's been great, and I've been able to get the exact setup I wanted. It even gives me the freedom to flip the side monitors out of portrait mode into landscape mode, then aim one at the kitchen area of my apartment while I'm cooking or doing dishes etc (for movies/tv shows). The only hassle with this is in the software (i.e. telling my computer to make the image landscape instead of portrait. I wish I could set a hotkey for this somehow...).

|Re: Question regarding networkConnectors
|Fri, 10 May 2013 21:35:48 GMT
I'm not entirely clear what your question is... but I'll give it a shot... If a broker with a network connector loses connectivity to the network, the "static:" part of the network uri will use a discovery mechanism that continues to try to reconnect. When the network comes back, the connections should be re-established.

Everything is perfect, great colors, great quality... Except the shoulder straps don't tighten up enough, maybe my boobs aren't as low as most peoples but I had to tighten it as high as it could go then tie it in a bow and it's high enough.
I bought my first Sweet Nothings bra at the store, but couldn't find it in black. I was so happy, and surprised to see that it is sold online. I love the way it makes me look as if I am one cup bigger. I love the way it holds the girls up. I recommend it to all the ladies who need a little help, just as I do.
Bra does the job for push up but the size is a bit small and the wire pinches really bad.
Too much Padding. Looks horrible and really fake. I have 36D and just makes them look so terrible. Don't buy!

I'm curious if I need to actively use the same squad mates for every mission to level them up, or if squad mates that don't come on missions level along side me even when unused?
Yes. All squadmates will automatically adjust to Shepard's level, regardless of how long it's been since they've been part of the active squad.

Sweetwater Branch Inn Review – Gainesville, Florida
Phew! We got a BIG one for you today. Todays review is for the Sweetwater Branch Inn in Gainesville, Florida. The reason I say this is a big one, is because this is our most in-depth tourism project to date. Natsuko and I spent a total of 4 days on location to capture all the content needed for this…and spent 2 days photographing the largest 360 tour we have ever made. Make sure to check out the 360 tour link!
Sweetwater Branch Inn…wow…all I can say is…best food we had on the whole trip. Seriously…our hearts were racing and an alarm clock was not necessary to wake up to that breakfast. They have some of the best breakfast chefs and unique foods we have ever eaten at a B&B. Hands-down, best food we had on the whole trip. One of the cool things they have is an orange squeezer so you can make your own fresh squeezed orange juice. We were lucky enough to be there during the peak season of oranges…so it was even more delicious. When we finished with breakfast…we both would say…errrr…we ate too much. But it was great!
The Sweetwater Branch Inn has an increadibly sweet staff. We got to work mostly with Katie, Cornelia, & Paula…who were more than helpful in making sure we had everything necessary to get our job done. I can't express how sweet these girls are! If they were that sweet to us (and we were working for them), I can only imagine how sweet they are with guests.
This Inn has so many unique little rooms to sleep in…from the 2 main houses, to all the little cottages. It really is a blast to the past, as you experience an atmosphere of the 1800's. However, each room has all the modern luxuries you would expect from a present day B&B. The place is very clean & the beds are super comfortable. Natsuko and I truly feel that every B&B should be held to the same standards as this Inn. 5 stars all around.
Natsuko and I got to stay in one of their nicest rooms, "The Carriage House". It was a comfortable & very large suite which was perfect to relax in in-between photography session. They really took care of us while we were there.
One of the most spectacular things about the Sweetwater Branch Inn are it's gardens & wedding reception hall. Now unfortunately, we were filming in January/February….so many of the flowers were not in bloom, but I can just imagine how it would look. It's like a dreamland for a wedding. The reception hall is huge and can host the biggest of weddings, and the Honeymoon Cottage is literally footsteps away from the gardens. We imagine this would be perfect for the bride and groom to be able to step away from the wedding for a few minutes to catch their breath.
Another thing we liked about the Sweetwater Branch Inn was all the kitty cats running around outside. All the cute furry friends help make this place feel like a home away from home.
Natsuko truly enjoyed our time at the Sweetwater Branch Inn…enough that we had to come back at the end of our trip. It was a perfect place to finish up our Florida filming trip…and we really hope to go back there sometime! 5 stars from us, and one of our favorite places to stay yet (and you know we stay at a ton of places).

Jones Clayton Construction – Golden Oak at Walt Disney
Well, we did it this time. Natsuko and I think this may be our best video yet. We really got it right on this one. This video is for Jones Clayton Construction, and one of their masterpieces on Golden Oak Estates at Walt Disney. This house is called "Evening Sun", and has some of the most amazing architecture we have filmed yet. Evening Sun is located right in the heart of Disney…on the brand new residentual estates of Golden Oak. This will be one of the most exclusive residential area in Orlando…and this real estate is "HOT!".
Jones Clayton is developing quite a few amazing homes here…and we were lucky enough to get to film one of them. We worked with Rial, a super chill guy who just let us do our thing. We spent the day (actually 2 days because we came back to get some nice blue-sky exterior shots) working our magic and capturing this elegant home. I could go on and on about how amazing it was…but this is one of those homes that a picture (or video) speaks a thousand words. We ended up going crazy with the photography, and took so many more pictures that anticipated.
Evening Sun has gorgeous ceiling high windows that look out to the pool, which is by far the center-point of this home. But, our personal favorite about this home was the master bathroom. Evening Sun has one of the most amazing bathrooms we had ever scene. It just screams "romance"!!
We really hope to film more homes like this in the future…because the white in the house really just looks great on 1080p video. Check out the Jones Clayton Construction website if you are looking to have a 1-of-a-kind home designed for you in the Orlando area.

Anna Maria in a Day – Presented by Duncan Real Estate
We have a quite different kind of video for you today. This was a total blast to film as it is a little different than most of the videos we shot on the trip. This was a general tourism video for Anna Maria Island for Duncan Real Estate. Duncan Real Estate is one of the biggest real estate companies on the island providing amazing vacation rentals. They have a sweet team of girls who were very helpful in showing us where to film on the island.
Natsuko and I spent our day just cruising around the island looking for nice places to film. We really got to see every little corner of this wonderful place. Anna Maria sits on the west coast of Florida just north of Sarasota. It has such a "small town" vibe with tiny family run shops all over. Duncan Real Estate is located on Pine Street…once of the cutest little streets on the island. It has some great restaurants, interesting shops, and wonderful scenery at each end of the street.
One of our personal favorite parts of the island is Historic Town. It also has some great restaurants…but a very chill vibe because of all the places to eat outside. Natsuko and I found one of the most amazing places to get ice cream and smoothies too…I think we went there 2ce that day.
One of the most amazing things on Anna Maria Island are the sunsets. Natsuko and I finished up our day on the beach…and watched one of the most amazing sunsets we had ever seen. So many colors…pinks, oranges, yellows…almost too bright for human eyes. We captured a gorgeous sunset time-lapse that evening…and just had a romantic evening watching it while our cameras snapped a-way.
Natsuko and I highly recommend Anna Maria Island and staff at Duncan Real Estate. They are such a cool & down-to-earth group of girls who really want you to have a memorable stay on the island. There are not many places in Florida as clean & un-developed as Anna Maria Island, so check it out if you want to experience that small-town feel yet bath in Florida's nice weather.

Interior Design by Shelly Preziosi Review – Boca Raton, Florida
We have a VERY VERY special video for you today! Natsuko and I are pleased to be now working with interior designers to create profile videos about their work…and this is the first video of this kind that we have made. We are EXTREMELY happy with the way it turned out! This is one of the most amazing homes we have ever filmed…from its architecture to its design…perfect in so many ways.
Shelly Preziosi is an interior designer located in Boca, Raton Florida. She has worked for Bloomingdales, and is a very accomplished designer. When we arrived at in Boca Raton to film this home…we had NO idea what we were getting into. All we can say is WOW…and our pictures & video can speak for themselves. I could go on and on about all the amazing art in this home…but the whole home is just that…a work of art!
Shelly worked with architect Don Yoshino on this home "The Gathering Space". He is a VERY established architect a president of the AIA. His vision of volume and scale for this home really made a perfect canvas for Shelly's designs.
Shelly has such an an amazing eye for design…and Natsuko and I specifically loved her ideas for bathrooms. Since Natsuko and I have lived in Japan for the last 5 1/2 years…we have come to love the way the Japanese view bathing. It is an almost religious experience in Japan…where you can relax and forget about all your troubles. Shelly definetely uses this approach to her bathrooms. No words can describe it…so just watch the video and you will see!
She also has such a great approach to dealing with her clients. Shelly is all about YOU…and what works for you. She is simply and idea machine to help find the atmosphere you are looking to create.
We are so happy to have found Shelly and create this style of video. We feel it is very dynamic, fun, and informative. We stayed for 3 days at "The Gathering Space" to capture everything we need…and the whole time we felt like we were in an art gallery. It was truly a great experience for Natsuko and I…and quite different than most the videos we have made in the past.
Visit Shelly's website for more information about her services and past work. A great designer…very kind…wait….one-of-a-kind!

Blue Heron Inn Review – Amelia Island, Florida
We have another cute & historic B&B today for you. This is the Blue Heron Inn on Amelia Island. When people take a Florida vacation…sometimes they they don't realize how nice the northern part of Florida is. The people are friendly, the weather is less drastic, and the lifestyle is a little bit slower paced. This is definitely true on this hidden island. Amelia Island has a cute little downtown area with a harbor (a great place to watch the sunset). There are some fun local shops and great places to eat. There are also tons of herons, pelicans, cranes, and other birds local to the area to watch down at the harbor.
The Blue Heron Inn is situated right beside the downtown area, and you can walk in about 2 minutes right to the heart of the town. The owners…Julie and David…are such a nice couple! We got to work with Julie quite a bit because we were making a proper commercial for television and movie theaters for them. We had a fun time recording her interview for this video…and had a million laughs while making it.
The Blue Heron Inn is one of the cleanest and most well furnished inns we have filmed yet. Their eye for classic design is incredible, and they have really kept that 1800's classic feel in this home. Julie's eye for color is great too. She used many unique colors for each of the rooms…yet they are so soft and subtle and create a pleasant atmosphere. As cinematographers…we love it when a home has different colors because it helps make a more dynamic video.
There are 6 elegant rooms in this inn…each with a unique style. For instance, the Princess Amelia room really feels like it was made for a princess! The Cay room feels like something you would find onboard a ship 100's of years ago. It it really neat to see how they designed each of these rooms. Some of them even have 1800's style bathtubs…which really makes you feel like you are experiencing life the way it was 100's of years ago. The Sandpiper Suite on the top floor is a perfect place for a honeymoon stay and is by far the largest of all the rooms. It has a hot-tub bath, 2 sofas, and a spacious interior.
The common areas are on both the 1st and 2nd floor. They have games to play, books to read, and an overall atmosphere of warmth and comfort. You can also relax on the wrap-around porch…which is perfect in the evenings.
Natsuko and I really enjoyed our stay here…and it gave us a chance to make a video in a different style than we are used to. We even got a chance to drive around the town and get some shots for the video that were not inside the home.
The big news from our trip to Amelia Island is that we had one of our photos published on the front page, in color…of the News Leader newspaper. Its the photo at the top of this review of the boat. They were kind enough to send us a copy of the newspaper to our home here in Pennsylvania.
We highly recommend that anyone taking a Florida vacation…stop through Amelia Island at least for a day. It's a great place to relax until you get to the hustle & bustle of the southern east coast. You can't pick a better place to stay than the Blue Heron Inn. Julie & David are sweet innkeepers who will make your stay comfortable & memorable. I bet you even come back!

At Journey's End Bed & Breakfast Review – St. Augustine, Florida
We are very happy to start releasing some new reviews starting today as we start to upload the first videos from our Florida trip. The first on our list today is At Journey's End B&B in St. Augustine, Florida. Natsuko and I drove down from Pennsylvania to St. Augustine in 2 days after a small pit stop in NC. When we arrived in St. Augustine…we were AMAZED at how unique this city is. Of all the American cities we have filmed in, St. Augustine is by far the most unique.
St. Augustine is known as the oldest city in America…and we are talking 1500's old. Some of the streets still have the original bricks from when the city was started. The town really has a Spanish feel, since it was settled by the Spaniards in the 1500's. You can literally walk around the city in about 25 minutes…and there are so many cute shops and interesting attractions…oh and did I mention GREAT food. St. Augustine is really a hidden gem in Florida that everyone has to see if they are taking an east coast Florida vacation.
When we arrived at "At Journey's End", we were greeted by Tim & John, the innkeepers. They were nice enough to let us stay for a couple nights rather than just one so we could get a chance to see the city on our first day there before filming. We walked around the city and took a bunch of great photos. On our second day there, we woke up and had a breakfast delicious made by them. It was a kind of food I had never seen before…eggs cooked inside avocados. Mmmmmmmm!!!! A perfect way to start our day. We then began to film for the rest of the day.
At Journey's End is located right in the heart of the city. It really doesn't get much closer to the downtown area than this. It sits on a cute little street with some other B&B's, and really has that 1800's historic feel. The inn has 5 rooms in the main home, and they are building a brand new room just behind the ouse in a separate building which is most likely completed by now. Each is decorated with a theme…so make sure you look at the pictures on their website to see which one you like best. Tim & John have a great eye for interior design…and the rooms are so cozy. A couple of them even have massive bathrooms…with a large bath. The room we stayed in, "The Amelia Earhart Room"…had a brand new bathroom with such elegant design.
There is a nice little common area downstairs for relaxing, as well as rocking chairs on the porch. It is a great place to just forget about all the troubles in your life and think about how life was hundreds of years ago. And since it is located RIGHT in the downtown area…you can easily take multiple trips out through the city in the day and come back for a short rest inbetween.
Natsuko and I highly recommend At Journeys End…and just as highly recommend St. Augustine. It truly is a special little city hidden on the east coast of Florida. There is nothing like it in the United States. Visit the At Journey's End website for more information about staying right in the heart of this historic city.

It's 5 o'clock Here Review – Lake Lanier Vacation Rental – Gainesville, Georgia
Today we have a video that we shot WAY back in July…but did not release until now. It's 5 o'clock here vacation rental nestled right on the shores of Lake Lanier.
This was our first stop on our Georgia/North Carolina trip back in July…and boy did we have a blast. The first thing that is awesome about this place is it's owner. John is an awesome fun guy that Natsuko and I have made great friends with! We actually had so much fun at his place, that we will be going back to visit him this summer to do some water skiing and tubing. He took Natsuko and I out on the water…and we actually filmed them water skiing. That was such a blast! You can see some of the video below.
This place is perfect for a family because of the downstairs area. There is a great place for kids to hang out…and there is a pool table. There are 4 bedrooms in total, and a nice bunk area downstairs for the kids. This place was quite a challenge to film because of all the mixed light. It is a very BRIGHT place upstairs because of the large windows looking into the dining area. Also..the deck has such an amazing view from the top floor…and did I mention a HOT TUB!
They absolute best thing about It's 5 o'clock here is its location! You are RIGHT on the lake…and actually, it is the last spot on the lake. So it is a very PRIVATE place. You walk down the hill to the 2 level dock, where you can park a boat. People that stay here gotta love the water…because it has some of the best glass (the new word we learned that means "still water") around. It really is perfect for people who love to water ski.
One very unique thing that Natsuko and I loved about this place are the sounds. The sounds of the frogs, insects, & birds is so amazing during the sunrise and sunset times. It really feels like you have your own little piece of paradise while sitting down on the docks and watching the sun come up. I personally made a note to be up by 5:30am to capture the time-lapse of the sunrise twice!
Natsuko and I can't recommend this place enough. John is a totally down-to-earth guy who has put together a place that is made for fun!
Check out It's 5 o'clock here via their website or VRBO. It will be that perfect Georgia vacation you will never forget!

Adventure Suites Review – A Theme Hotel – North Conway, New Hampshire
We have a CRAZY one for you today. This is one of the coolest, funkiest, & most exciting places we have ever filmed! Adventure Suites in North Conway, New Hampshire.
If you have never been to a theme hotel, you gotta try one at least once. These places are so romantic and perfect for a honeymoon or anniversary vacation…and Adventure Suites may top them all.
We had 3 days to film here…and boy did we shoot a ton! We shot 10 360 tours, XXX photos, & a long and thorough video for Adventure Suites. One of the best parts is that Natsuko and I got to stay in both The Jungle & Roman Rendezvous! These are 2 of their nicest and most elaborate rooms…and Natsuko and I had a GREAT time! The Jungle has some of the best lighting of all the rooms…and Roman Rendezvous has electrical automation that would make James Bond jealous!
Each room at Adventure Suites is designed in a different theme. Kathy (the owner) has designed each of these rooms…and has skipped no detail. Every little corner of each room is full of artistic surprises, unique automation, & world-class furnishings. I can only imagine the amount of money that has gone into each of these rooms. It's literally something out of a storybook.
A couple of our favorites (besides the rooms we stayed in) were the Tree House & The Cave. The Tree House really feels like something out of a Disney Movie. The upstairs room has short ceilings…and you feel like a giant. The Cave really feels like you are in cave…and has the coolest couches & ceilings we have ever seen.
Considering we are film buffs…Showtime was also a REALLY cool as well. The whole place is built like a movie theatre. Showtime also had the best bathroom in our opinion. So bright, cute, and with panoramic windows so you don't have to stop the movie when in the hot tub.
I could go on and on about how amazing this place is! One of the best things about Adventure Suites is their movie collection. They have practically every DVD in a collection in the lobby. You can borrow DVDs for FREE…and watch them in your room. And did I mention you can alway see the LCD TV from your hot tub. Each room has elegant hot tubs within viewing distance of the TV…which is quite romantic.
I can't stress enough how awesome Adventure Suites is. It is probably our best video yet…best 360 tour yet…and best photographs of interiors yet. We hope our multimedia gives you a great example of what you get when you go there…however pictures can never capture the real atmosphere of these places. You have got to see it for yourself to really experience Adventure Suites!

A few weeks ago I participated in a lunch discussion in New York with a group of around 20 people from a wide range of ages and professions. The theme of the lunch was The Future of Work, but given the eclectic nature of the group we talked about a number of subjects. One of the topics discussed was how companies generally deal with major technology and market changes, - like those that have been taking place all around us for the past few decades.
Transformative change comes naturally to young companies, as it generally does to young people. But, based on my personal experiences, adapting to such disruptive changes is much more difficult for successful, well established companies. Not for nothing do we refer to the changes accompanying disruptive innovations as creative destruction, the powerful force that rejuvenates the economy in Joseph Schumpeter's 70 year old theory. Mature companies that once led their industries are too slow to respond to the waves of startups now attacking them with innovative products and services.
Following the lunch, I kept thinking about the topic. Why are so many successful, well managed companies done in by disruptive technology and market changes? Is it that in spite of all their strategy efforts, their management is unable to anticipate the changes and is caught by surprise? Or is it that, as if actors in a kind of Greek tragedy, they see the changes coming and understand what needs to be done, but are somehow unable to make the needed strategy and cultural transformations? Let me share some of my thoughts on these questions.
