Sun 30th Mar 2008 @ 01:52 2008: There's No "U" in TEAM
I'm still catching up on Sky One's dramatisation of Terry Pratchett's first two Discworld novels: The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic.
About half way through the second episode, there's a scene in the Unseen University, where a plaque can be seen on the wall:
There's no U in TEAM
A nice touch.
Well, I enjoyed it, anyway....
Fri 28th Mar 2008 @ 02:04 2008: Sun
Johnthan Schwartz recently described Sun as "the only company in the industry with the technical lens to see from programming platform though operating systems, operating systems to datacenter systems, and datacenter systems into the silicon that powers it all"
Say what you like about Sun; there's nobody else who can claim that pedigree.
On a smaller scale, but bigger in volume terms, as someone pointed out to me not long ago: nobody other than Sun offers their own OS and hardware based on x86 (and/or AMD64; take your pick).

So that's how you're supposed to do it:
Come to think of it, if an email client will obey some embedded CSS "media" tags, this could work rather effectively...

ROKGROUP is not nearly as cool as its domain name might suggest :-(
Sun 23rd Mar 2008 @ 01:32 2008: In for McLaren?
After last night's (UK time) qualifying, Nick Heidfeld complained that the two McLaren cars had held him up - being on their in-lap, with race fuel in the car, they were driving as conservatively as possible, whilst he finished his flying lap. Fernando Alonso was also on his flying lap.
As a result, the McLaren drivers were demoted 5 places, from 3rd and 4th, to 8th and 9th - from 2nd row to 4th/5th row on the grid.
According to PlanetF1. McLaren aren't planning to dispute the punishment, but it does seem strange that when there were 10 cars on the circuit, of which 8 were doing in-laps, the remaining two cars were surprised to find two slow McLaren cars ahead of them.
In all sections of qualifying, cars will be on in-laps, out-laps, or flying laps, and it is for the teams to notify drivers if they are about to be passed (in which case they must get out of the way), or if they are approaching a slow car (which they can assume will get off the racing line to let them pass).
The new rules mean that the slow cars will be particularly slow - they no longer need to be within 107% of their best lap - and the footage showed the BMW speeding past a field of relatively static vehicles. It was not clear from what footage was shown on UK TV, that any McLaren, or any other teams, were particularly responsible.
A minimum speed should be maintained - 107% seems to be the accepted standard, so all drivers below that ratio should be prepared to provide a good reason for falling below that, and should, in any case, move quickly out of the way of any car on a flying lap. Ignorance is no excuse - the team should be able to tell the driver of anybody approaching, and as the driver in question is not on a hot lap, he should be able to respond and get off the racing line.
That seems like a fine-tuning issue which needs to be addressed with the new rules. The fact that it affects only the McLaren team in this particular ruling, when there were 10 cars on track, 8 of which were on in-laps, and only two were selected (both the McLaren cars) to be penalised, seems not too well engineered to dispute the theory that there is an anti-McLaren, and specifically, an anti-Ron Dennis mood within the FIA.

It's Easter, so here's another Easter egg... in GNOME, press Alt+F2, and type in "gegls from outer space" to get a weird kind of Space Invaders game, with a fish shooting at flying cows.
What planet are these guys on?
You can also get a fish flying around your screen; Alt+F2, and type "free the fish"
Fri 21st Mar 2008 @ 01:11 2008: Linux isn't ready for the desktop....
Recently, Stormy Eyes started a thread about being tired of the "if only Linux had X feature or killer app, then there'd be a mass migration" threads
I, too, am getting tired. You'll often hear tired old forum members like Stormy and me complaining that arguments about Linux desktop marketshare, desktop readiness, desktop migration, etc. have taken place thousands of times. Well, it may not number into the thousands yet, but it has happened a lot. Here are some threads you might want to read if you don't believe me.
Read More... 21 threads discussing the future of Linux on the desktop - if you have the stamina.
GNU/Linux has been my primary desktop for a good 12 years now; it's not for everyone, though 'er indoors has been quite happy with Ubuntu (6.06 LTS) for a few years now, as it's stable and does all she wants. (Recently, she's had to start using MS Windows at work, and the PC is apparently terribly unreliable. It's interesting what one gets used to...)
I changed jobs a few months back, and reckoned I ought to keep a Windows partition around, for compatibility with various customers. The only thing I seem to be lacking with 64-bit Debian GNU/Linux, is a fully-working Sun JRE which will run Sun's CAM software. As a virtual 32-bit Linux should be able to take care of the task, I plan to go whole-disk Linux with a virtual Solaris and virtual 32-bit Linux when I get the downtime. If I can sort some kind of virtual and legal Windows, there may be space for a small windows.vmdk file, too, but we will have to see.
I admit that in the meantime, I've been touristing around Windows Vista; Portal is a fun game, though I got to level 18 of 19 in a few hours, and the kids like the provided cake-making game, but those are hardly compelling business reasons. The full disk wipe and reinstall is difficult, but those partitions may soon be reallocated.
UPDATE: Just after posting this, StumbleUpon points me at http://www.meroguff.com/2008/03/new-msn-messenger-virus-referring.html, which somewhat typifies the vague, random and confusing advice which seems to go around Windows users - certainly, my mother forwards me the occasional hoax, just to ask if it's true. Last time, it was actually valid (the generic e-card ones), but it makes no odds: if you're in Windows, if "there is a strange itch that goes on my spine always, that is to play with malicious scripts. So, the next moment, I loaded up that site," just Don't Do It. How can it have a good result? The eternal optimist may still hope that their Betamax is yet to have its day, and they may as well hope that their "fully patched" Windows system will be immune to whatever virus is going around right now.
I can't do the full rant, or I'd end up in one of the threads listed above.
Thu 20th Mar 2008 @ 23:18 2008: Stick 'em Up!
Why would anybody want to pay Google for the privilege of advertising Google advertising?
I remember when I was about 9 years old, a friend found out that a local insurance firm would give away stickers with their logo if you just walked in and asked for some, so we all got them and stuck them to our pushbikes - after all, rally cars had decals all over them, and they were cool, right?
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
1 Corinthians 13 v11
Why would anybody want to send Google an SAE in return for a paltry sticker? Are they living in the real world?

Wed 19th Mar 2008 @ 23:42 2008: Breaking the RSS again...
I'm messing with the RSS again; the link should now be to the top of the post body, skipping the banner (as it was before), and not just to the page with the and all. Hope that makes sense...
Wed 19th Mar 2008 @ 01:53 2008: Arthur C Clarke - RIP
RIP Arthur C Clarke, who died tonight, at 01.30AM Sri Lanka time (by my reckoning, that's 19.30 GMT on 18th March), from breathing problems associated with his post-polio syndrome.
Terry Pratchett has Alzheimer's disease (though hopefully still many more books in him); Asimov, Douglas Adams and Arthur C Clarke are now dead... do we have any great SciFi writers left? Do Ian M. Banks or Neal Stephenson really count?
Losing Clarke feels like the end of an era - or at least, the end of a generation, of SciFi authors who really knew how to Think Big.
We'll see your geostationary lifts into space yet, Arthur...
Whilst talking about Terry Pratchett, it would be improper not to mention Match It For Pratchett, a campaign to match his $1m donation to Alzheimer's Research.
Mon 17th Mar 2008 @ 00:27 2008: Support local businesses... where practical
I've got a meeting out in the sticks in a few days, so I need to book a hotel relatively nearby. None of the major chains seem to have anything within 30 miles, so I'm left with the independent hotels. In these circumstances, it's very easy to find oneself as a guest of Mr. Basil Fawlty and his lovely wife Beryl.
For my efforts, I was rewarded with a webpage (and email) saying
Thank You for your provisional booking.
We will confirm the booking to you shortly, by phone or email.
A copy of the provisional reservation email, has been sent to your email address.
Your reference number is: xxxxx
Please note that this is a Provisional Reservation Notice and your booking is not confirmed until you have received our Confirmation Notice by email. We update our Database each morning, we will then update your booking and process your deposit. Should there be conflicts on the dates you have chosen we will contact you immediately and attempt to resolve the situation to your satisfaction.
So I must now stop looking, as I've apparently (according to the email - otherwise, news to me!) paid a 33% deposit for what I am now told is a provisional booking. So it's provisional from their end, but not from mine...
I do hope they phone early in the morning and tell me that I've got the room; otherwise, I will have to redo this already-difficult search for a hotel room out in the sticks, but now with only hours to go.
This is no way to do business online in 2008, and it really is unforgivable. These companies should either get a proper system online, or keep their reservation systems offline. At the very least, the system chosen by this particular hotel (which looks to be pretty much my only choice for the location I am to visit) is the worst of all worlds - provide a system which gives every appearance of giving a firm booking, only to finalise the transaction with a message stating that the booking is provisional, until they get around to looking at it tomorrow.
Sun 16th Mar 2008 @ 01:40 2008: Aw, Bless...
In the first qualifying session, newkid Glock (Toyota) qualified 9th (from a grid of 22 cars), but was demoted 5 places for changing his gearbox, and then lost a further 5 places for holding up Mark Webber. He's been sent down from 9th to 19th place on the grid of 22 cars.
9th position is a fantastic qualifying result for any new driver, especially for Toyota (when did they last qualify 9th?!). That's a great result, Glock, and nobody can take it away from you. Oh, apart from the FIA, who can chuck you back to the back of the grid :-(
Glock is on my F1 Losers team this year; I wonder how this will work for him. He'd better not keep up this habit of getting into the final qualifying session!
Sun 16th Mar 2008 @ 00:18 2008: Born in 2007?
Why yes, I was born in 2007. I'm currently somewhere between 3 and 15 months old, surfing the web, and was interested in clicking on your advert.
Do you really think it would be possible to get a newspaper from so far back as 2007?
Oh... what's a newspaper? Come to that, what's the web, what's an advert, and what's 2007?
Maybe this is the start of a long-running ad campaign, expected to start paying off in fifty years or so?
... any other ideas?!
Sat 15th Mar 2008 @ 01:59 2008: RSS Update
Sorry if you've got the last 10 or so posts twice... I've finally made a change to the RSS, so that each item links to the actual post, not just the section of the month's page of posts. That should reduce your download time, as each bit of media (photos, etc) appear only for the item to which they correspond.
It's a one-time change; the new posts (including this one!) should only show up once.
Sat 15th Mar 2008 @ 01:36 2008: Angel of the North
I've spent a few days up in Newcastle, one of the UK's loveliest cities. Unfortunately, I didn't get any free time to get into the city. (work, work, work... that's me ;-) !)
I did, however, get my second opportunity to stop off at the Angel of the North.
This is an awesome sculpture; as you drive towards Newcastle from the south on the A1, it appears as you brow the hill. As you are leaving Newcastle, it watches over you until you get towards Durham.
I'm not normally much of a one for sculpture, artsy stuff, and all that, but the Angel is just beautiful. Its bold strength, as it stands atop the hill, just resounds with the character of the North East of England. It's not necessarily all that subtle, it wears its weathering with pride: it was designed to cope with 100mph winds, and to deliberately rust in such a way that it takes on a richer, redder hue over time. But - or rather, because of that, it has a warmth and strength unrivalled by any other.
I visited it shortly after it had been installed, in what I realise must have been 1998, and now I have visited it again, 10 years later, to find out that it celebrated its 10th anniversary (birthday?) last month.
Long live the Angel!

Fri 14th Mar 2008 @ 00:50 2008: Grub/Linux: Inconsistent Filesystem Structure
An otherwise great Linux system can crash in such a way that it won't even fix itself on reboot... That's even worse than the commercial competition. Come to that, it's worse than every other Linux distro I've run over the past decade (and more).
I've had this problem more than once now on my Debian (sid) laptop; when it happened before, I swore to investigate and make sure it wouldn't happen again, but didn't get around to it.
Today - on a customer site - my laptop's battery died, and on rebooting, it wouldn't boot Linux ("Inconsistent Filesystem Structure") or Windows ("Inconsistent Filesystem Structure"), though it would boot Solaris (Grub doesn't claim to know about Solaris; instead, Grub passes control to a separate Grub on the Solaris partition).
Great: I can't boot Linux, I can't even boot Windows, and my Solaris install is a bit of a halfway-house at the moment, not a setup I'm really happy with. And the USB/Serial adapter I really need to use, isn't configured there :-(
Step up Ubuntu bug 66278 and Debian bugs 462701 and 393079. The problem isn't with the OS itself (as suggested by the fact that Linux and Windows both failed to boot for me, today), but with the Grub bootloader.
Grub has a feature which will allow you to save the most recent boot option, and keep it as a default. You must set the default option to "saved", and use "savedefault" on those menuitems you wish to be set as defaults.
So you could enable "savedefault" on Windows and Linux, but not on Memtest, for example. If you're booting into Windows all the time for one week, it'll save that default, but then when you boot back into Linux, it'll reset the default to Linux.
To do this, it needs to write something to the /boot partition. If that partition is not writeable (without replaying redo logs, as is the case with an unclean partition), then Grub will fail, and will refuse to boot the OS as a result of this failure.
Silly Grub. Computer unbootable because a small personal preference can't be changed.
Set "savedefault=false" in /boot/grub/menu.lst, and remove the "savedefault" options from all boot menu items.
Do check after any grub-install that it's still safe.
You can always go interactive ("e") in the Grub menu and remove the "savedefault" option. That should allow it to boot.
Ugh. Nastiest bug I've seen on a GNU/Linux system for a long long time.

Penix is that way-cool multitasking Operating System that's a bit like that other one you might have heard of.. you know, the one that has the Interthingy running on it. Needlessly complex and given to falling over at the drop of a hat.
Any system that includes a CFTS command is good for me!
Sat 8th Mar 2008 @ 00:08 2008: How It Happened
This is such a great ultra-short-story, I hope that the trustees of the late, great Asmiov estate will forgive me for pasting it here...
My brother began to dictate in his best oratorical style, the one which has the tribes hanging on his words.
"In the beginning," he said, "exactly fifteen point two billion years ago, there was a big bang and the Universe--"
But I had stopped writing. "Fifteen billion years ago?" I said incredulously.
"Absolutely," he said. "I'm inspired."
"I don't question your inspiration," I said. (I had better not. He's three years younger than I am, but I don't try questioning his inspiration. Neither does anyone else or there's hell to pay.) "But are you going to tell the story of the Creation over a period of fifteen billion years?"
"I have to," said my brother. "That's how long it took. I have it all in here," he tapped his forehead, "and it's on the very highest authority."
By now I had put down my stylus. "Do you know the price of papyrus?" I said.
"What?" (He may be inspired but I frequently noticed that the inspiration didn't include such sordid matters as the price of papyrus.)
I said, "Suppose you describe one million years of events to each roll of papyrus. That means you'll have to fill fifteen thousand rolls. You'll have to talk long enough to fill them and you know that you begin to stammer after a while. I'll have to write enough to fill them and my fingers will fall off. And even if we can afford all that papyrus and you have the voice and I have the strength, who's going to copy it? We've got to have a guarantee of a hundred copies before we can publish and without that where will we get royalties from?"
My brother thought awhile. He said, "You think I ought to cut it down?"
"Way down," I said, "if you expect to reach the public."
"How about a hundred years?" he said.
"How about six days?" I said.
He said horrified, "You can't squeeze Creation into six days."
I said, "This is all the papyrus I have. What do you think?"
"Oh, well," he said, and began to dictate again, "In the beginning-- Does it have to be six days, Aaron?"
I said, firmly, "Six days, Moses."

Fri 7th Mar 2008 @ 01:32 2008: Wishlist Update
Items on the WishList were previously ordered by their location in the database, with the option of ordering by price, status, or desirability.
You can now tweak the ordering, as the default listing now highlights the most-desired items first (akin to selecting "Most Wanted" on the priority box).
So, if you suddenly decide that that Porsche 911 is the top of your list, you can set its desire to 5/5, and demote any other 5/5 items to be listed below it.
Finding friends generous enough to buy you a Porsche is left as an exercise for the reader.
I also plan to change how bought / reserved items are shown; as a config option, it may be nice to hide them entirely, or mark them out in a more obvious way, and do away with the traffic-light system, which doesn't seem to be particularly intuitive.
Sat 1st Mar 2008 @ 01:09 2008: F1 2008
It looks like the drivers positions have settled down (they should have done by now!). Strange to see McLaren down at the bottom, with the highest-numbered cars we've had in a long time: #22 and #23.
Looking forward to seeing how Force India get into the swing of things; they've got Mike Gascoyne and a 24/7 wind tunnel, which should put a bit of a boost behind our old Spyker friends, who weren't doing so badly by the end of last season.
I've got strangely high hopes for all of the teams;
Ferrari - always strong, and they've got the World Champion behind the wheel.
BMW Sauber - two fantastic young drivers, and a real motiviation from BMW to get the job done this year. They've got the skills, they've got the funding, it's looking good.
Renault - Double World Champions with Alonso, looking to get their title back from Ferrari
Williams - Looking good with Rosberg. I'm not sure what's going on with Williams at the moment; they really should be doing better than they have done in recent years.
RBR - Two solid drivers; Coulthard's good for gaining steady points throughout the season. Webber's got a bit more flair, but I'd expect the pair to come out of the season quite close to each other. The real thing that RedBull need this year is to build up the team, and get the tech working for them. Last year was a big stepping stone.
Toyota - How much money have the Japanese pouring into F1 over the past few years? Toyota and Honda have put a lot of effort into building up some really strong teams, with only lacklustre results. Toyota look like the effort is paying off - they have had the occasional spectacular finish.
Honda - Jens and Rubens back at the mill for another season. I really hope the stability of the team pays off this season - they all deserve it.
Super Aguri - okay, these guys won me the F1 Losers league last year, but really, I hope they can come up with the funds to race this year; we would miss them.
McLaren - I thought that we were getting ProDrive alongside them in the back-end of the garages? Apparently not; that could hurt in the battle against Ferrari's excellent pair of drivers.

Traceability is fit for purpose and supports stakeholder needs.
In the vision scenario, traceability helps the engineer to detect missing stakeholders during requirements elicitation, to identify missing and conflicting requirements, and to demonstrate compliance to regulatory codes. Traceability also helps the engineer to see the impact of new and modified requirements, and facilitates the requirements negotiation and validation process. Traces are used to retrieve the context and rationale for decisions, to examine costs and to verify compliance to product requirements. Traceability supports the engineer explicitly in all aspects of her daily work.
Traceability will not be used in practice unless it is perceived as useful or is mandated. However, the understanding of what people need traceability for and how people actually use traceability is currently poor. Further, traceability cannot be created or maintained effectively if the required tasks to do so are not themselves understood and supported, and this understanding of what individuals and teams need to do to create and maintain traces is equally poor. The stakeholder community for both establishing and using traceability is potentially vast, and the skills and incentives of these stakeholders vary widely. Tools are frequently purchased to enable traceability but, because they are often insufficiently configured to support these specific stakeholder requirements for traceability, they rarely realize their potential.
Define and instrument prototypical traceability profiles and patterns (i.e., typical stakeholder requirements for traceability and recognized approaches for their satisfaction in traceability solutions).
Create a profile of prototypical role, task and context-based stakeholder requirements for traceability, including scenarios of end-use for traceability, along with patterns for their implementation.
Instrument a mechanism to both use and evolve this resource of profiles and patterns, based on characterizing the needs and properties of projects, organizations and domains, and by integrating feedback from practice.
Propose and agree metrics to measure effectiveness in all areas of the traceability process, with a particular focus on its end-use.
Develop a Traceability Body of Knowledge (TBOK), to define the traceability terminology, profiles and patterns, practices, techniques, methods and tools, and to include resources on case studies, lessons, experts, benchmarking, etc.
Perform studies to determine whether stakeholders find automated methods and tools fit for purpose.
Practitioners consult and contribute to an evolving Traceability Body of Knowledge.
Practitioners draw upon traceability profiles and patterns when designing and implementing a traceability solution for their project, organization and domain.
Practitioners routinely measure the effectiveness of all aspects of their traceability process, and contribute these data to the traceability community.

(Note to Tiger: "Everyone else" doesn't play video golf with Jimmy Fallon in Times Square, backing up traffic and drawing more than a thousand screaming fans.)
In a rare quiet moment, Woods sat down with PEOPLE for a candid interview to discuss family and fatherhood, including the lessons he learned from his late dad, Earl Woods, who died of cancer in 2006.
Family BondingWoods, who missed much of the last golf season due to a knee injury, tells PEOPLE that he used the break to spend time more solid, quality with his then 1-year-old daughter, Sam.
"We're different than other sports in the fact that we don't spend half our season at home. We're always on the road," he explains. "I got a chance to be around her all the time, so that was a huge bonus."
While rehabbing his knee, Woods played games with Sam, whom he describes as "very active." They also sang songs and even tried to play video games. ("It didn't work," says Woods. "She was too young.") And the video games weren't simply for fun: Woods credits the hours he spent playing his own computer game on the Wii Fit with getting him back in shape.
Despite the time off from golf, Woods recalls the forced hiatus as a happy time: His wife Elin was pregnant with son Charlie Axel, now 4 months old. Sam was going through the cute toddler phase, and Woods got a chance to reconnect with friends and family. "I would have missed a lot," says Woods, who won the AT&T National earlier this month.
Lessons from DadThe only downside? The absence of Woods's father, Earl. "I think of him every day," says Woods simply. "He taught me everything." Including golf.

As for his own children, Woods plan to encourage them to pursue their passions. "Whatever they want to do is fine with me," he says. Are they athletic? Woods isn't sure yet. "They're so young," he explains. "Sam is very active; she loves to run. She runs a lot. [But] Charlie is only 4 months old. Who knows?"
For more on Woods, including what he learned from his father and what he hopes to teach his own kids, pick up this week's PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

Karen Monroy formed the nonprofit Ability2work, after her son graduated from the Midland School in Branchburg, a specialized facility for children with developmental disabilities. Monroy and parents of other like young adults formed the organization to train and provide jobs for the differently abled.
They said they wanted to create a business that benefits the community and gives those with special needs a chance since they are often left with few real employment options as adults.
Baker's Treat has one full time position and several part time positions. The remaining positions are volunteers, primarily parents, and special needs adults in need of employment. The facility has a full training and production kitchen as well as a cafe and store front. The staff is involved in much of the operation from preparation, cleaning, baking and cooking.
"We find that happy learners, are good learners" says Monroy. "And we see wonderful progress with our happy learners."
Nancy Baron and her late husband Stanley are the founders of Anderson House in Readington Township. They added Baker's Treat as part of their mission to help employ hundreds of women recovering from drug and alcohol dependency. The popular business closed in May of 2012 after 13 years in operation. The previous owners donated the building, equipment and even the recipes and customer lists. ABILITY2WORK re-opened Baker's Treat in November last year. They hoped the operation would be self-sustaining within 12 months but the winter months have been challenging. The nonprofit is seeking donations to help keep the business running.
More information on the organization can be found at ability2work.org, call 908-720-4315 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

About This Book
This action-packed historical novel focuses on the lives and romances of two teenage couples aboard the doomed Titanic. All that first-class passenger Elizabeth Farr wants is a chance to truly experience life. She dreams of attending Vassar College, but her parents have forbidden it; what's more, they have betrothed her to a "suitable" man she doesn't love. Then Elizabeth meets Max, a wealthy but rebellious artist. Max is everything Elizabeth has ever wanted, especially since he encourages her to strike out on her own and make what she wants of her life. Meanwhile, in third class, Katie Hanrahan, a talented singer, meets Paddy Kelleher, a handsome Irish rogue, and the two share their dreams of the lives that await them at the end of the voyage. The two couples live in parallel worlds, with occasional glimpses into each other's lives — and while Katie envies the seemingly trouble-free life of the rich, Elizabeth wishes she could share in the lively freedom of the third-class passengers.
As Diane Hoh skillfully weaves together the two plot lines, she also provides accurate historical details that make the fragile world of the ship come alive. The book moves naturally from romance to adventure when the ship hits the iceberg, and the scenes of chaos in the Titanic's final moments will have readers turning pages frantically. A gripping read, this exciting book is an excellent choice for reluctant readers.

Cheryl Burke became the latest pro to suffer an injury during Monday's live Dancing with the Stars performance show.
Burke says while dancing the paso doble with partner Chris Jericho, "I felt something rip" in the upper inner thigh and groin region of her left leg.
Minutes after the broadcast, medics quickly treated Burke, who applied an icepack to the injury and grimaced in discomfort as she conducted post-show interviews.
The duo's routine, a crowd pleaser that was praised by the judges and received a solid 23 points, was full of quick movement and precise choreography.
"There was a move where I get down quickly," Burke, 26, told PEOPLE. "It bothered me [in rehearsals], but not like this. Now that the adrenaline of the live show is wearing off I'm feeling the pain a bit more."
Burke, a two-time Dancing champion, shrugged off what might have happened. "I'm getting old," she kidded.
Last week, fellow pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy was injured while performing the rumba with partner Kirstie Alley. (This week the pair suffered another mishap.)
One of the competition's nine remaining couples will be sent home on Tuesday's live results show, which airs Tuesday (9 p.m. ET) on ABC.

We invite scholars to submit proposals for contributions to A New History of German Cinema, to be published in the Camden House series "Screen Cultures: German Film and the Visual."
Existing volumes on the history of German cinema have tended to narrate this history in broad strokes, granting only minimal attention to formal details or emphasizing close readings of canonical works. This anthology aims to offer a new understanding of German film history that instead presents a kaleidoscopic view of moments, texts, and figures that have been pivotal in the 100-year history of German film. The essays we seek will pursue the relationship of the figures and texts under discussion to their social, political, and aesthetic moment. Collectively, they will illustrate the pivotal role that German cinema has played in the shaping and reception of the tumultuous twentieth century.
Each essay will take a particular date and cinematic event as its starting point and expound on its significance for German film history. Although organized chronologically, the volume will not present them as a continuous narrative, but rather will seek to provide an understanding of the history of German film as a series of events and interventions. We are interested both in essays that cover familiar ground in a new fashion, revising the canon through innovative readings, and entries that expose underexamined aspects of German film history. We welcome a diversity of contributions, from analyses of specific directors, to readings of foundational moments in genre formation, to discussions of key dates in film history. Throughout, we aim to explore how German cinema has been influenced and received by, and how it in turn influences, other national cinemas.
Taken as a whole, this collection seeks to challenge current conceptions of the German film canon and offer instead a more dynamic model, one that pursues the multiple, intersecting narratives that make up German national cinema. The aim of A New History of German Cinema, in other words, is to ensure broad coverage while offering a new approach that will open up further avenues for inquiry, study, and research.
Sample entries include:
Dec. 18, 1913: The maritime disaster film Atlantis opens in Berlin, triggering a controversy about the "sinking of culture"
May 16, 1929: The First Academy Awards are given out; Emil Jannings wins for Best Actor
Jan. 30, 1945: Veit Harlan's Kolberg premieres
Apr. 21, 1947: Siegfried Kracauer publishes From Caligari to Hitler
Dec. 21, 1955: The first of three Sissi films starring Romy Schneider premieres
Aug. 23, 1968: Thomas Brasch is expelled from film school and imprisoned for protesting the Soviet invasion of Prague
Nov. 2, 1995: Rosa von Praunheim's Neurosia -- 50 Jahre pervers is released
Feb. 14, 2004: Fatih Akin wins the Berlinale's Golden Bear for Gegen die Wand
We seek additional entries (no more than 2,000 words in length) on a key aspect of German cinema. Interested authors should email a brief (ca. 250 word) abstract by January 1, 2008 including date, title, and planned scope of the contribution to Jennifer Kapczynski (email@example.com) and Michael Richardson (email@example.com). Accepted submissions will be due July 15, 2008.

Man shot 14 times by officers enters not guilty plea
Gibson Martin accused of charging at officers with knives
UPDATED 6:28 PM CDT May 21, 2013
A man accused of sparking an officer-involved shooting in Waukesha pleaded not guilty Tuesday.
According to police, Gibson Martin, 44, was suicidal and threatened a family friend who tried to prevent him from jumping off a bridge on April 21.
The criminal complaint states Martin charged toward officers while armed with two knives.
Officers fired bean bags, but they failed to stop Martin.
He was shot 14 times in the incident. A subsequent investigation ruled the shooting was justified.
Martin faces charges of second-degree recklessly endangering safety and obstructing an officer.

The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk is a fun place for kids and families to visit all year round, but around Halloween is when the ocean can really let its weirdness shine.
Creep through the list of our favorite spooky-sounding fish below. Most of them you can find right here in Long Island Sound … and at The Maritime Aquarium!
Okay, it's actually just called a wolffish, but we're making an exception this October. Atlantic wolffish are known for their fang-like teeth, which are accompanied by rows of powerful molars perfect for crushing crustaceans. As if that wasn't enough, they have serrated teeth in their throats, too. These bottom-feeders are typically stationary creatures and are known cave-dwellers.
They are found in Long Island Sound, but you probably don't want to run into one of these guys during a late-night swim – they can grow up to over 6 feet long.
In The Maritime Aquarium, find wolffish during the next full moon in the "Shipwreck" exhibit in our Depths of the Sound Gallery and also in the "Go Fish!" exhibit.
Witch Flounder
No, this fish doesn't swim around on a tiny broom. Instead, it is a relatively sedentary creature, preferring to spend its days at the bottom of deeper waters. Like other flounder, the witch flounder is a flatfish, but has a dark grey coloring on its eyed side and is light grey on its underside.
Mummichogs, or "mummies" as they are called, are small fish found in tidal creeks, harbor shores and brackish waters. They can survive in very dirty water thanks to a high carbon dioxide tolerance and are often used as bait. Get mummified in The Maritime Aquarium's "Salt Marsh" gallery.
There are 11 families and hundreds of species of sculpins, which are another type of bottom-dwelling fish found at the Aquarium. In particular, the sea raven is known for its unique, raggedy appearance. It has rows of sharp teeth that are longer than most other sculpins' chompers, giving it a voracious bite. They feed on not only smaller crustaceans, mollusks and sea urchins, but on other fish as well. Find them in the "Muddy Bottom" and "Shipwreck" exhibits in the Aquarium's Depths of the Sound gallery.
The hogchoker may sounds menacing, but it's just another spooky name for the American sole. It's said the name comes from hogs that fed on these discarded fish and had difficulty swallowing their hard scales. Hogchokers are small flatfish found in the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of North America, and are particularly abundant in the Chesapeake Bay area. Look for them in The Maritime Aquarium's "Salt Marsh" gallery.
For even more deep-sea haunts, check out our spectacularly creepy Howl-a-Ween Pinterest board. It's full of the ocean's weirdest residents!
Click here to start planning your next visit to the Aquarium! Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for tons of fun photos and videos, and stay in the know by signing up for our E-updates.

The conventional wisdom is that what gets measured gets managed. But apply that wisdom to the question of measuring effectiveness of an ethics and compliance program, and things start to get a bit fuzzy.
That's how the Compliance Week article "Measuring the Effectiveness of Compliance" starts off, and it couldn't be more true. As the story points out, you can't always know when you've prevented a problem from occurring. But maybe it can be looked at this way: you don't always know when you've done things rights, but you're sure to know (or be told) when you've done it wrong.
That's the value of a compliance program with strong metrics built right in, allowing for monitoring and trend analysis. This adds dimension and provides a whole new level of insights that goes well beyond just compliance. Not only can you "run the numbers" for verification, but you can also check the validity of the process itself. It's much the same as how a navigator uses three points to triangulate his position.
You can measure the types of calls that come into your hotline, for instance, and check against your employee training data and policy attestations to see if there is a particular topic or location that needs to be addressed. The disposition or outcome of those issues gives you a figure we refer to as the actionability percentage. You can also align this same data set with your auditing results as a way to cross-check and gain even more insight into the effectiveness of your compliance efforts.
The article makes a good point, too, about the need to add dimension to your overall compliance program. It's not about having rules or even following rules. It's about making sure the players understand why the rules are important in the first place.
One way to add dimension to your compliance program is to leverage data to look for outliers, that is, a person, event, or bit of data outside the norm. Benchmarking reports allow you to measure incident types against peer companies. Incidents which are totally askew could point to potential problems brewing.
It's of course all in how you use and apply your compliance metrics that make a difference. While you can measure employee attestations against a new corporate policy, for instance, your real success will come if you can drive more attestations in the future based on what you learned. Then, use that aggregate data to build accountability, and then re-measure against your objectives.

HUNTSVILLE, AL - A local biotech scientist announced Thursday the development of a rapid-response test for the current strain of the H1N1 family of influenza virus.
According to Dr. Jian Han, the faculty investigator at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, the assay can differentiate between H1N1, Influenza A and B, and a host of other bacterial and viral illnesses in less than six hours.
Han explained that the test currently used by the Alabama Department of Health can confirm swine flu in the same period of time, but it cannot determine what other illnesses the sample may contain.
The test will become part of a viral respiratory panel made available by Diatherix Laboratories, a private company that is located within the HudsonAlpha Institute in Huntsville. However, the institute does not accept samples brought in by individuals, only those sent in by hospitals and physicians.
The current strain of virus has the potential to mutate, so Han said developers included four swine flu targets in the diagnostic tool.
"So even if there is some molecular-level mutation and one or two targets are rendered useless, we still have other targets that will provide a correct answer," Han said.
According to Dennis Grimaud, chief executive officer for Diatherix Laboratories, the viral respiratory panel allows physicians to quickly distinguish between patients who have swine flu and those who present with similar symptoms.
"This enables physicians to provide proper therapy in a timely manner," Grimaud said. "A rapid confirmation can also mitigate many of the negative economic and social impacts associated with infectious disease outbreaks, ranging from school closures to reductions in retail traffic, travel and tourism."

That is the first step! Once I got over my addiction to bagels I knew I was in the clear. The hard part is over and the results will come!
For the first time since New Years I had pizza last night and I must say that I regretted it as did my wife. We felt so bloated and sluggish. Even though I have yet to lose any lbs I do certainly feel much better eating the primal way as does my wife...... Bring on the roast and kale ...bring on the eggs and bacon!!!!

Interesting, I also had pizza yesterday and it was yummy and I felt great
Last time I had pizza I felt bloated & sorta sick to my stomach..
I had meatza yesterday & it was NOM!
Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate.
Make yourself some Meatza,
I use Turkey mince and it is no comparison! Meatza is the way forward
2010 - 5,11 and 101KG
2012 - 5,11 and 77KG
Train hard, eat well and love life
Meatza huh, I will have to try that. Thanks for the info everyone. Yep don't like eating the way i used to anymore
I ate pizza this weekend too and it led to a full 24 hour carb/sugar binge. Felt like I had allergies and bad bloating the next day. Ew. Each time this happens I learn more about why I don't want it to happen again!
The she-grok was such a trooper about trying cabbage for brunch the other day, that when she said she really needed a pizza (its been a long time) I acquiesced under the condition that she make it all herself. She made some real nice thin crust dough and made a couple top notch pizzas. And even a whole pizza each stayed under 150g of carbs for the day. I considered it a nice middle ground treat.
indeed, I can experience some epic bloating from just one CW meal, and even a burrito will make me want to take a nap immediately after. but I love pizza so much, I'm highly motivated to find a substitute crust that doesn't suck. The combination of sauce, cheese, and pepperoni is so great, just need something decent to put it on.
Just fyi I tried meatza with the cheapest 73% ground beef, and it gave us lots of farts, so I think I will avoid the cheap stuff in the future. I like the idea but I think I would rather change it up with better quality meat or add in almond/coconut flour too.
new pizza crust recipe I discovered today, using cream cheese: The Wilderness Childe: Oopsie Pizza!
I get both beef & pork ground to order from my butcher (They run there own pastured stock) and mix about 1/2 & 1/2 for meatza base. YUM
Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

It's been a while since I posted anything here - haven't had the weather or the opportunity to get the camera into the air. Today I had the chance to take a few pictures that have been on my to do list for a few months.

Aiptek SD w 64Mb memory
Wild Moose switch
Weather & Time:
Flights started around 7:30 am
Wind was from the southeast and at altitude was about equal to the SS airspeed. This made it somewhat difficult to get all the shots I wanted. Most of the time I had the plane pointed into the wind and climbing for altitude. Winds from the north or south would have had the plane in a better orientation. Most of the pictures that I took were at full throttle.
Obviously the pictures have been reduced in size to fit file requirements. I use Microsoft Photo Editor. A few of the pictures also had a weak sharpen effect added.
I took off from the parking lot just southwest of the Adler planetarium. Landings were made in the grass picnic area east of the parking lot. I was directly north of Meigs field.
The following picture is looking directly north from my position. Off in the distance is Navy Pier and in the lower right corner is the Adler Planetarium. Part of Chicago Harbor can be seen toward the left.

McCormick Place and the Annex is pretty much centered in this photo. I believe the circular structure toward the lower right is a parking garage. That's Burnham Harbor on the left side. This view is toward the SSW.

Thanks Mindblade.
This picture shows the remains of the Meigs Field airport. In a surprise move early in the summer, Mayor Daley ordered heavy equipment to carve X's in the runway during the middle of the night. This rendered the runway unusable and most (all?) of the planes stranded there had to use the taxiway to fly out. The stated rationale for closing the airport was homeland security. Obviously this is also some prime real estate. I'm glad I got this picture before all evidence of the airport is gone. Burnham Park harbor is toward the right.

This somewhat low altitude picture has the Shedd Aquarium in the lower left. The Sears Tower is the tallest dark building with twin antennae on the left. The Standard Oil building is the tall white tower toward the right. That's Chicago Harbor again where the boats are docked. Looking towards northwest.

Here's a higher altitude shot showing the Sears Tower and the Shedd Aquarium. The Field Museum is to the left of the Shedd Aquarium. The green area with the light brown patches which is centered and toward the right of the picture is Grant Park. I don't know what the light brown patches are used for (volleyball?).

This picture shows the remains of a flying saucer that crashed into Memorial Stadium/Soldier Field. Just kidding! Actually many people refer to this as the newly renovated Memorial Stadium. A lot of other people refer to this as a boondoggle. This is WSW of my position.

Final Shot.
The Standard Oil building is centered in this shot with Chicago Harbor in the foreground. I hope that in the not too distant future I'll be able to return and take some panoramas. (Need to get brushless power, need to get CCD, need to win lottery!)
Awesome stuff. I'd take similar pics of New York City but I'm sure the National Defense radar would pick it up and scamble the F-16s.
Just kidding...but I cant think of any good place to fly from. Plus looking at the skyline and not seeing the WTC still leaves a crappy feeling in me. :/
Edit: Can you post some pics/details about how you set up the camera? After seeing these shots it seems like a lower cost (in comparison) to the full-size cameras, plus if something happened I'd feel a lot worse about losing a $400 digicam then a $70 one.
Wow! Those are ultrafantastic!
Best cityscapes I've seen posted here.
Very very good photos, you've got it figured out.
Thanks for the Meigs field photo, before I got to it I was thinking of asking you to take some shots of that area!
UnbeLIEVable what the mayor did, very strange.
I guess Microsoft "Flight Simulator" will have to stop using Meigs field as the "home" airport!
Thanks for the GREAT photos.
Just a side note, I had been following the Meigs Field saga last year and thought it was saved. VERY disappointed to see its gone. I was hoping to some day get to the USA and go to Chicago just to fly out of Meigs. Bummer dude.

King County parks transferred to City of Kenmore
by Becky Nixon
Staff Reporter
KENMORE - It is expected that five King County parks will be transferred from the county to Kenmore this month. King County will continue maintenance of the parks through the transition period.
Linwood Park, Moorlands Park, Kenmore (Rhododendron) Park, Tracy Owen Station (Log Boom) Park and Wallace/Swamp Creek Park will become part of Kenmore. The City has already been notified it will likely receive two state grants to fund improvements for the parks. The grants totaling $290,000 from the state Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation are intended to fund planning for the improvements up to the point of construction, at which time grant applications for the actual construction are anticipated.
"We are very excited about the two project grants and completion over the next year of the City Parks Master Plan," said Bob Sokol, Director of Community Development for Kenmore.
At Tracy Owen Park and Kenmore Park (State Dept. of Fish & Wildlife Kenmore Boat Launch) the city will use the grant money to look at improving waterfront and boating access to Lake Washington. The Tracy Owen pier might also receive improvements including moorage for smaller boats and improvement for the pier's railings and lighting. The Kenmore boat launch could see a new two-lane boat launch, additional parking, improved circulation and restroom and picnic facilities. Over the next year the Parks Master Plan will include detailed plans for each of these parks in addition to an overall plan for new parks and recreational facilities for the community. For information, call Bob Sokol at (425) 398-8900, ext. 226.

First half struggles cost TU?lacrosse against?Findlay
FINDLAY - After watching Findlay flat-out dominate the first half, Tiffin University's lacrosse team was able to recover, but wasn't able to overtake the Oilers.
Findlay led 14-1 at halftime, and held on for an 18-11 win over the Dragons.
Findlay controlled things in the first half, out-shooting TU 27-4. Sarah Lankton and Nicole Stine each converted six goals, while Mackenzie Barnwell had three and Kyra Bradley had two for UF.
Gina Abulone paced Tiffin with three goals, while Kaley Weinheimer, Emily Roussel and Alexis MacMillan had two.
Jessica Bombard had 10 saves in goal for TU, which slipped to 2-9, 0-2 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Findlay improved to 4-6, 2-0.
TU erupts in Game 2 to salvage split
VIENNA, W. Va - Tiffin's softball team suffered a tough loss in its first game against Ohio Valley College.
It appeared to take out its frustration over that loss in Game 2.
After falling, 6-4 to the Scots, the Dragons rebounded with a five-inning, 14-1 victory.
In the first game, the Dragons got a homer from Madison Yanek, and led 4-0 after four innings. But the Scots erupted for five runs in the fifth, added a run in the sixth and picked up the win.
Donna O'Bryant homered for Ohio Valley, while Kristine Brown picked up the win in the circle.
Kelsey Yaratch took the loss.
In the second game, the Dragons used a pair of big innings - a five-run first and a six-run fifth - to leave the Scots behind.
Tamira Link homered and drove in three runs, while Yanek homered again. Taylor Spang recorded the win, as the Dragons moved to 14-7 this season.
'Berg tennis doubles up BW
BEREA - Sofey Fugate and Katie Strahan were part of two wins, and Heidelberg's women's tennis team doubled up on Baldwin Wallace, 6-3.
Fugate scored a 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 win in No. 1 singles over BW's Kelsey Blatt, then teamed with Strahan to pick up an 8-3 over Blatt and Mackenzie Baker.
Strahan beat Morgan Baker in a singles match, 6-2, 7-6 (8-6).
Deidre Potter got another win for Heidelberg, beating the Yellow Jackets' Claire Watts 6-2, 7-5. Sarah Sara Potts aided HU's cause by topping Mackenzie Baker, 6-1, 2-6, 7-5.
Potter and Nicole Millar also picked up a doubles win over Mackenzie Donalson and Mackenzie Baker, 8-2.

Quit Being a Voice for the Voiceless
Girl Rising, a new documentary about girls around the world pushing for their place in school, had me alternately gaping and smiling during a recent screening at Wheaton College. The film moved me—darn near broke me—not because of the facts or figures it presented or the stories it told, but because of who told the stories: the rising girls themselves.
I already knew the horrifying statistics of the millions of girls in this world who don't—or can't—go to school. I understood the connection between lack of education and global poverty. I agreed that educating the girls of this world is key to reducing—or eliminating this poverty, among other societal evils.
But this time, I heard these girls' stories, written by their own hands, spoken in their own (well, translated, narrated) voices. Girl Rising confirmed something I've long suspected: When we Christians speak of "being a voice to the voiceless," we'd better be careful. We'd better think hard about what it means, what it does, what it communicates when we toss out this oft-used line. We better ask, Is being the voice of the oppressed, the poor, the maligned, and the hurting really what God wants from us?
When God tells us in Proverbs 31:8 to "speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute" and in Isaiah 1:17 to "learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow," God means it. No doubt. Good things happen—his Kingdom sparkles all over—when we pipe up and plead on behalf of others.
But when those of us who care about living lives of justice and mercy seek to become the "voice of," are we speaking up and pleading on behalf of? Or, are we speaking for or speaking over them? Certainly there are people in this world who depend on us to be their voices; those with no access to authority or difference-makers, those who live in terror, who stand to suffer greatly for raising a voice, need our voices to rise for them. But not everyone who suffers lacks a voice. Not everyone who is oppressed or maligned or terrorized or victimized is truly voiceless.
And even if they are—even the girls trapped in dungeons, those too terrorized to speak out—voicelessness shouldn't their permanent state. As Christians, instead of setting out to be someone else's voice, we can instead listen—and get them heard.

Natural by Drew Estate English cigars are rolled to an ample Toro shape in a dark Sumatra wrapper. Flavors of sweet cedar and vanilla dominate the medium-bodied smoke that builds to a spicier flavor profile in the last act, as an underlying trace of vanilla remains. A must for DE fans! Order now.
The first time I smoked the cigar I was immediatly impressed with the flavor of the wrap. Just licking my lips after a drag was tasty. After the flavor of the tip wore off the cigar continued to taste delicious. Started out very sweet and finished with a smooth mild tobacco flavor. Great for beginner cigar smokers who like a mild and sweet flavor.10

The official purchasing managers' index fell to 50.2 in June, down from 50.4 — barely nudging above the 50 level that shows manufacturing is still expanding. New orders fell deeper into contraction territory, down from 49.8 to 49.2, while export orders began to slide.

The Bayonne Urban Enterprise Zone is set to hold its second free hands-on seminar for business owners looking to expand their business through Facebook.
On Thursday, from 9 to 11 a.m., at the Networking Cafe, 418 Broadway, business owners can attend a social media workshop run by the Lenox Group, a firm specializing in public relations, social media, web development and internet commerce.
"Many local businesses lack a presence on the Internet, and they have not tried social media to improve their sales," said Bayonne Mayor Mark Smith. "This SID/UEZ seminar will teach local enterprise owners the practicalities of using laptops to build a presence on Facebook. When local businesses do well, they improve the local economy and provide more jobs in our community."
Light refreshments will be served and interested parties are asked to bring their laptops to the workshop for an in-depth take on expanding their business on Facebook.
The workshop is the second in a series of social media events the UEZ has hosted for Bayonne businesses. The first Facebook seminar took place on March 20.
The UEZ is set to hold at least three more events in the near future to help businesses in Bayonne.
Representatives of any Bayonne business can attend and are urged to RSVP by Sunday at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 201-858-6357.

Arthur Nestrovski - brazilian guitarist and composer Arthur Nestrovski holds a Ph.D. in Music and Literature from Iowa University (USA). He is a senior music critic for Folha de S.Paulo, and he is also a senior editor at PubliFolha, the newspaper's publishing branch. A tenured lecturer at the Graduate College of PUC/Sao Paulo from 1991 to 2005, he is the author of the best-selling Notas Musicais (2000) and Outras Notas Musicais (forthcoming, 2009), among other books including several prize-winning titles for children.

He was the music director (with B. Taubkin) for Milagrimas, a new production by choreographer Ivaldo Bertazzo (available in CD/DVD).

Celso Sim & Arthur Nestrovski
Voice and Guitar
Tha concert that releases the albuns "Pra Que Chorar" (Selo SP) and "Chico Violao" (Biscoito Fino).
In the show, Celso Sim, and Arthur Nestrovski make the complete repertoire of the CD "Pra Que Chorar", plus some songs by Chico Buarque, for solo guitar, and some others, sung.
"Pra Que Chorar", brings together some songs by Caymmi, Cartola, Ismael Silva and Rodrigues Lupicinio, among others, side by side with some of the Lieder of the 19th century composers Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert, in Brazilian versions of Arthur Nestrovski. It also includes Love (Vladimir Maiakosvski / Caetano Veloso), partnerships between Arthur Nestrovski and Ze Miguel Wisnik and Caca Machado, and other songs written by Nestrovski. In the end it is a collection of song, in its essential sense, so familiar to us all, who grew with the Brazilian popular music, sung poetry.
Here, "high" and "low" cultures, classical and popular, are only one manifestation of this art, and perhaps the uniqueness of Brazil to the world, the richness of what we're made and what we do: Brazilian song. The disc opens the seloSP Sem Paredes, created by the singer Celso Sim, to work and develop and materialize independent music. Distribution www.tratore.com.br
Arthur Nestrovski also releases in this concert with Celso Sim, the CD Chico Violao(Biscoito Fino). Following Jobim Violao (already in its third edition), the new CD has 15 songs by Chico Buarque, in arrangements for solo guitar.
Below is the link text Nestrovski included in the album booklet:
Celso Sim, and Arthur Nestrovski developed some years ago, a musical partnership that involves the composition of tracks and songs for dance and theater, "All that spins seem to be Happiness", 2007, directed by Ivaldo Bertazzo; "Os Sertoes: a Luta", 2006, directed by Ze Celso Martinez Correa, and ends into popular music show and lecture-concert, in addition to developing joint work with Ze Miguel Wisnik and other parallel works with various composers, singers, arrangers for art cinema, theater, dance and literature.

I have wanted this piece for a very long time and I am so happy to have it hanging in my home. The quality is great and it is truly beautiful. The only thing I would change would be for the frame to not be so wide. But I love it and still rate it 5 stars.

I was very pleased with this product. It is quality and beautiful. Slightly dissppointed that the two toned frame was not more pronounced; seemed there was little of the second tone. But I would definitely recommend this to others.
