Six months ago nobody knew who Corporal Willie Apiata was. This is the way it is supposed to be when you are a soldier in the SAS - because when you are in the SAS what you look like, what you do, any personal details about you, are secret.
The soldier's life did not change on a classified date in 2004, at 3.15am, in an Afghan war zone, the date of the incident which would lead to his life, his face, his work becoming known all over the country. On July 6 this year Apiata said of that morning: "I just saw my mate was injured and I needed to get him to safety and I put him up on my shoulder and carried him to safety and rejoined my mates and ... yeah, that's what happened."
His fellow soldier had been hit by shrapnel, had serious arterial bleeding and was lapsing in and out of consciousness. What Apiata didn't say then, will never say, is that in saving his mate he put himself in the direct firing line, that he put his own life in danger. And that is why he won the Victoria Cross which would change his life, for better or for worse.
That medal, the VC, the military's highest award for bravery, says all of the things that Apiata will never say. The VC says: For Valour. It means Corporal Willie Apiata is a national hero. And what national heroes have to do is, in many ways, just as heroic as the act that won Apiata his medal.
They have to be publicly acknowledged as heroes, and everyone wants to shake the hand of a hero.
So, on July 3, Apiata watched the news and knew that his life was about to change, irrevocably, for ever. Three days later the media arrived - a rare invitation issued - at SAS headquarters in Papakura. It was a very strange day for everyone. We had come to interview the hero and there was very little we could ask - what the SAS do is secret. But one aspect of their lives is not secret and that is that they don't go around boasting and talking about their work. "I was just doing my job," he said, over and over. He talked, because he had to, because the VC - he will say this - belongs to all of us.
Six months on, the reluctant hero is at SAS HQ, wearing what the military call "blacks", a little cap which says K9, and his wonderful bristling soldier's moustache. He has become famous; he has been publicly regaled, has performed countless ceremonial duties including a trip to Passchendaele for the 90th commemoration of that battle. "I've been very honoured," he says. Still, he would rather like a quieter life next year. "Hey, you can only hope, eh!"
It is hard work, anyone other than Apiata might say, being a hero. "I'm still trying to get to grips with that whole part of it."
It might, at times, you imagine, feel something like a burden, when you are a shy, sweet soldier. "Oh, you know, there are times it feels like that but these fullas here give me a hand when I need it."
They also had commissioned, secretly of course, a bronze of Apiata in full combat gear. It is in a glass case in the lobby of SAS HQ.
It is a wonderful thing; every boy's dream of the ultimate model soldier. This was a lovely surprise, but he doesn't hang about out there peering at it. "It's hard enough looking at myself on TV. I'm just trying to get used to that still."
When you are a hero people want to shake your hand. "People just want to say hello. They want to meet me, so I'm more than happy to shake their hands. There's hardly a day without somebody recognising me so I don't want to be rude or offend anyone."
What a strange twist his life has taken. He's the pin-up boy for the Defence Force.
"I keep seeing my picture in the Army News. But, you know, it's good for our soldiers. Every time I go round the camps and see our bros they're just proud as punch."
Out here, at SAS HQ, he's just one of the bros. The consequence of us having come to see him today, says his CO, will be a day of having the mickey taken out of him. Which doesn't mean to say they're not as proud as punch. As are we all, which is why Corporal Willie Apiata, a soldier, hell of a nice bloke, is one of our New Zealanders of the year.

Phoebe Heyerdahl is a fictional character in the Hey Arnold! TV Series.
She is one of the most intelligent children out of Arnold's friends.
BiographyPhoebe was born in Kentucky and, at some point, moved to Hillwood at a young age. She has a sweet, likable personality with a high intellect. She is one of the nicest characters in the franchise, and is said to be Helga's only friend.
Phoebe is also very sensitive, shy and fragile and usually gets emotional when something bad has happened to her or someone else. This makes Helga often take advantage of Phoebe and treat her like a slave, rarely thanking her.
Her distinctive features include a huge lump of black hair at the top of her head bounded by a small yellow scrunchie, and stereotypes for smart children in animated shows, such as big eyeglasses (in Phoebe's case, with blue monochromatic lenses), a short stature, and squeaky voice. She always tries to be the first one with the answer, and isn't exactly thrilled when someone else does better ("Ms. Perfect", "Phoebe Cheats").
She wears large cat-eye glasses, a blue sweater that is too long for her (which covers what she's wearing for a bottom) and matching shoes. Now, she wears a white shirt with a blue collar, a blue jacket, a light blue skirt and green shoes. Her hair is now in a short ponytail.
Among her most notable moments was when she won the City Academic Bowl ("Phoebe Takes the Fall"), a competition that she shouldn't even have been in, as Helga, in an attempt to win the only trophy her older sister Olga never won, had won her school's spot at the Bowl by forcing Phoebe to miss the final question (ironically, McAfee did not receive credit for the role in that episode). At the opposite end of the spectrum, she was utterly humiliated in front of the entire student body ("Phoebe's Little Problem") when she was caught passing gas into a microphone on stage as she was receiving an award, and subsequently refused to ever go to school again (somewhat ironically, the award was for her perfect attendance). Among her other achievements are winning the Parents Tournament Weekend with her parents ("Parents Day") and the City Go-Kart Grand Prix with Helga and Harold ("Grand Prix").
She's also pretty good at handling a fencing sword ("Phoebe Cheats"), even when it's a flashlight ("Wheezin' Ed"). There is some evidence that she is musically inclined as well; she's carrying what appears to be a string bass in "Helga on the Couch" and is practicing some sort of large horn in "School Dance". (However, music is one of those disciplines where you need creativity, and that seems to be one of few things that Phoebe lacks, if "Phoebe Cheats" is anything to go by.) Just as Gerald hangs around with Arnold, Phoebe hangs around with Helga, who considers Phoebe her best friend (she even says so in "Magic Show", after yelling at her), mainly because Phoebe is probably the only person who likes Helga the way she is ("Helga's Makeover").
Phoebe is Helga's "shadow", right down to the point where seeing Helga cry made her cry as well ("Downtown As Fruits"). It's hinted that Phoebe has a crush on Gerald.
Crush on Gerald
It is alluded to in several episodes that Phoebe has a crush on Gerald.
- In "Operation Ruthless", there are four hints of her having a crush on him:
- 1.) When Helga goes into the hall of mirror Phoebe is seen smiling at Gerald.
- 2.) Before entering the Tunnel of Love, she smiles at Gerald in a somewhat flirtatious way.
- 3.) Phoebe and Gerald are shown riding the tunnel of love together---Gerald even has his arm around her. When Gerald asks if she's okay after hitting the hotdog stand in the runaway bumper car, she says, "Yeah. I'm okay now."
- 4.) At the end of the episode, they walk away from the Cheese festival together holding hands.
- In "Wheezin' Ed" when Helga assigns Gerald and Phoebe to go together to explore the tunnels, they smile at each other.
- Also in Wheezin' Ed" she jumps in the hole to try to save Gerald
- In the episode, "Roughin' It", she says to Helga with a somewhat dreamy look on her face that she admires Gerald's survival skills.
- They share a desk in "Teachers' Strike".
- They are seen numerous times together at Rhonda's party (including a scene showing Phoebe amused that Gerald is whispering into her ear) in "Hey Harold!".
- She has a picture of him in her locker in "Phoebe Breaks a Leg".
- She gives Gerald an impressed look after his solo in "Gerald's Tonsils".
- If one observes carefully, at the end of "New Teacher", when the last photograph is taken (the one with the kids in front of the entrance to the park) Phoebe can be seen sitting next to Gerald staring at him with a smile on her face.
- They once again look at each other and hold hands in "Arnold's Thanksgiving".
- In "Love and Cheese", she and Gerald are seen walking around together and eating ice cream.
- In "Cool Party", they can be seen dancing together.
- Had the spin-off starring Helga been made, Phoebe and Gerald would have been an official, background couple.
- They are seen together in a deleted scene of "Phoebe's Little Problem" while in her bedroom.
- See also "Phoebe and Gerald: Lovers in the Background" published by Shieldmaiden56 on "Hey Arnold! – A Critical Analysis"
Friendship with Helga Pataki
Helga often makes Phoebe her own personal slave, as Phoebe is too nice to resist obeying her every whim or stand up to Helga. Still, Phoebe is around whenever Helga needs someone to talk to. She is also one of the few people who know that Helga is in love with Arnold, (the others being Lila, Brainy, and Dr. Bliss) and sometimes helps her keep her secret safe ("Helga Blabs It All", "Helga's Parrot"). While it's never shown exactly when Phoebe figured out how Helga really feels about Arnold (though it's sometime around Season 4, before "Helga Sleepwalks"), she's also smart enough that she wouldn't let anybody know that.
There seems to be some question as to how her last name is spelled; her school record says "Hyerdahl", but the credits to "Phoebe Cheats" and the award she gets in "Phoebe's Little Problem" say "Heyerdahl".
Not much is known about Phoebe's family, except that her father Kyo is of Japanese descent. In the Episode "Phoebe Cheats", her father said "Kampai!" (which approximately means "Cheers!" in Japanese) and is good at fencing, and her mother Reba has a strong Southern accent and is most likely from Kentucky. Her parents only had speaking roles twice: "Phoebe Cheats" and "Phoebe's Little Problem".
- Phoebe, like classmate Nadine, is of mixed heritage.
- Phoebe is right-handed.
- Few fans of the show wondered if Phoebe wears shorts or not as it implied that her only clothing is her sweater (which is unlikely). However there was an error in "Phoebe Skips" when Phoebe jumps there is nothing underneath her sweater. This rumor is somewhat proven, by her 2017 design.

Perry in Houston to Launch Anti-Human Trafficking Campaign
A new statewide campaign using billboards and public service announcements targets human traffickers in Texas.
United Against Human Trafficking is a partnership between the FBI, state and local officials aimed to stop modern day slavery.
Bradley Myles at the Polaris Project says human trafficking has become a $150 billion criminal enterprise worldwide.
"We hear about Asian sex trafficking in illicit massage parlors, we hear about these Latino cases in cantinas, we hear about pimps finding heroin-addicted women and forcing them into the sex trade," Myles said Tuesday.
Because Houston tops the nation for human trafficking, and Texas ranks second only to California for the number of reported cases, Governor Rick Perry was in town to help launch the campaign.
"It is reminding everyone that there is a real and a present danger in this country dealing with sexual trafficking," said Perry.
DPS director Steve McGraw says it will take a coordinate effort to eliminate the problem.
"There's no question there is insatiable demand for underaged sex, and its sickening and frightening, and we need the public's help," he says.
Clear Channel Outdoor donated billboards in 15 Texas markets featuring a hotline to report human trafficking, also the FBI's most wanted list of Texas human traffickers.
The company's Suzanne Grimes says similar efforts already have proven to work in San Francisco.
"There was a young woman who saw the phone number on the side of a bus shelter," said Grimes. "She had the courage to place the call and an organization called the Bay Area Women Against Rape was there to help her and bring her to safety."

Neanderthal (08-07-2011)
Hi Mark
Cheers buddy, I spoke direct with Andy at DTE yesterday who gave me that offer price too.
I actually have the box here now but with the weather how it's been today I've not had a chance to fit it. Andy mentioned the grey boost control lead clip is tricky to get off.
Where did you mount yours?
Right well I've fitted it and to be honest I'm a little disappointed. Even on the map recommended by Andy (map 3), yes it feels a little quicker but not a massive difference.
Matt, not sure what you were expecting, have you not noticed the increase in torque? I notice it more on the motorway when accelerating for example in 5th and it pulls really strong.
I've spoken to Andy cause the box just isn't working properly. Can't see the red led lit after taking it for an 'activation' drive and even more wierdly, when the box is plugged in, the air-con doesn't blow cold! Andy is adamant it's got nothing to do with the box but I've disconnected and reconnected it twice and both times the air-con didn't work whilst the box was plugged in.
My initial comment about it not feelin much faster must have just been the placebo effect.

You can control up to 8 Sabertooth boards from a PC totaling 16 DC motors by specifying
the appropriate address on the Sabertooth board using the provided DIP switches. See the
Sabertooth documentation for more information as to how to set those DIP switches.
1. Select the appropriate COM port that the USB or Serial cable is attached to.
2. Select the highest possible baud rate (typically 38400)
3. Move the sliders next to the correct motor address (128 to 135) and number (left/right side motor) to
test the movement for that motor.
4. Select or type in a variable that will contain the power value that should be sent to the motor
To connect the Sabertooth to a PC you will need a level converter circuit to reduce the serial COM/USB power
levels that ranges from +12V to -12V to the 5V TTL levels that the Sabertooth requires. You can construct your own
circuit using a MAX232 chip or use prebuilt solutions such as USB to TTL Cable.
To setup the USB connection you need to connect the black wire (ground or Blk-) from the USB cable to
the 0V connector on the Sabertooth and the green wire (ttl in or TX) to the S1 connector. Note: do NOT connect the
red wire to the 5V connector as that is used to power external circuits as apposed to receiving power
from the USB cable. Also note that the serial cable may use different colors so check the cable documentation before attaching.
For more instructions please see Controlling a Sabertooth with Roborealm.

The only other connection on the Pico is a power in port, via which the Pico can be charged up using either a supplied plug/USB adaptor, or a laptop. The Pico naturally comes with its own rechargeable battery; you don't need to have a plug socket or USB source to hand. Battery life is quoted at around two hours max - just about enough for a typical film, though Titanic fans will end up disappointed.
Other bits and bobs of interest on the Pico's exterior include a simple focus wheel on one side, and a sliding brightness adjustment switch on the other. This enables you to choose between high and low brightness levels - though as we'll see, the thought of running the image on anything less than the maximum brightness setting is actually nothing short of hilarious unless the battery is running seriously low.
At this point we'd usually get involved with the setup options available via a projector's menus. But the Pico doesn't actually allow you to adjust anything other than the image focus.
This means during set-up that the size of the image you watch is totally dependent on how far from a screen or, more likely, wall you hold or place the projector, since there's no zoom on board. There's no keystone correction either, so try to avoid angling the picture upwards or downwards.
You can't even adjust the picture settings - a limitation which, while understandable, is proven a touch unfortunate once you settle down to watch the Pico in action.
There are at least a couple of numbers on the Pico's spec sheet, though, that could well put a smile on your face. For starters, its contrast ratio is claimed to be 1,000:1 - well beyond the sort of level we might have expected from such a tiny bit of kit.
The LED light-source used to drive the Pico's DLP Pico technology heart is also reckoned to be good for a startling 20,000 hours of use - way beyond the lifespans of conventional lamps in 'big' projectors.
One final crucial component of the Pico's makeup is its carriage of a single speaker. Rated at 0.5W, this is there so that you don't need to find some sort of separate amplifier if you fancy being able to hear the audio of your video sources as well as looking at the video.
Might be interesting on a red-eye flight {i.e. dark} & project onto the seat infront {with headset} ...
"So why in God's name am I reviewing it?"
so, are you reviewing it in God's name, or in TrustedReview's name? To me it makes a difference.
Can I make a suggestion?
You guys review plenty of cameras - fair enough, some of them come down to this end of the UK so that Cliff can have them, but amongst those of you at the TR office, you must have the odd compact lying around. It'd be great if you could take some test shots of projectors in action and upload pictures, as I've always wanted some sample images of what the projected image looks like.
@Darfuria - you know this would have to be taken in the dark, right? And we wouldn't be able to use any flash photography...
If anyone can get a clear shot amongst us only Cliff or Jay can!!
6 pages of review for this item and you couldn't squeeze in a snapshot of the projected image on the office wall?! come on, chaps!
Not that straightforward, but it is possible to take a picture of the projected image in the dark with studio flash, but it'll need to be a longer exposure using a static projected image. However, as we've said in the past, our freelancer (who does not work in our offices) is not commissioned to take photos. That said, we're in the process of getting one in here directly, so if that comes through we'll sort you guys out.
You wrote five pages but you don't even give a picture of the projection?

Just what I wanted !!!!!!!
Par Betty O`Handley
de Chilliwack, B.C.
We live in a complex that has a guest suite. I needed two duvet cover sets. I bought the two sets in the lavender and in double. As we have two twin beds I was hesitate in buying the double. I am sure glad I did. Not only they fit so beautiful which comes over the mattress, it adds to the room of brightness and warmth.The picture shows the duvet just covering the mattress, which the duvet would probably be a double on a double bed. The double looks so good on a twin bed.I find the material soft, and the workmanship is well made. I love the reversible effect as well. I made the beds and turned the upper part down and the two sides blend well together.Well worth the money. The material is a little slippery but nothing to be concerned about.Very satisfied.

It Looks Great!
Par Luvs2shop
de Southern, CA
I love my Hilary Farr Reversible Quilted Duvet Cover Set! I was nervous at first about the quilting. Thought it might be a tad too much but I was wrong. The taupe color is perfect and the quilting pattern is a beautiful design, expertly stitched. I found the puffiness to be just right as I wanted a nice rich look which I got. The fabric is so soft and comfortable against my skin as well. I look forward to using the reverse side for a totally different look! Overall, I am very happy with this product, I found it reasonablly priced and highly recommend it to others.

nice quilting
Par White Fence
de Alix, AB
The taupe colour is nice and light, the quilting is well done and looks puffy, the liner is slippery so I had to sew some shoelace in each corner from the inside to tie in the duvet, otherwise it was slipping inside and bunching around. Overall very light for a quilt and 3 times less expensive than other quilted duvet cover online. Good deal!

Nice looking
Par Anna
de Ontario
It is a very good looking duvet cover. My reason for buying was to sleep under it however I think the quality is not good enough for my use. I would recommend it for cosmetic use only, I mean to use it as a bedspread and not as a sleep cover. Color was good and so was the size. It wrinkles easy. Will be sending it back with regrets.
En résumé
Non, je ne recommanderais pas ceci à un ami
Par Momaseeta
de Edmonton, Alberta
Like other reviewers have said, this is VERY SLIPPERY. The duvet does not stay in place - bunches up. It does not lay flat on the bed, seems like the top piece is somewhat sewn on the bias. The pillow shams are too huge! Much too big to fit a regular oversized pillow.Too bad because the colour is perfect.I will return it.

Very disappointed
Par Beth

Purchased as a coverlet - too puffy and slippery - does not look nice on the bed - shams are oversized - could not find opening for a duvet anywhere - would never purchase from this brand again. Will return product.

it's a disaster
Par sadie
de EDMONTON
I jumped into ordering this because I had watched her shows and thought she knew what she was doing.The fabric is harsh and there is a gap(puffiness) between the fabric and the linning.Does not look nice on the bed.I would not have given this any star.The day that she had her show and was talking about how superior her product is ,the host started talking about that night SHOWSTOPPER that happened to be a different brand of bedding which made me feel surprised but after seeing this I think the host saw something that the rest of us couldn't see.It is too late to send this back but never again anything from this brand.

My purest Joseph Conrad moment in Malaysia came after a dawn flight from the island of Penang down the coast of the peninsula to Kuala Lumpur. Half-awake, I stumbled into the KL arrivals hall to find it a sea of white robes. The crowd trailed cardboard monoliths of baggage tied in string: they were hajjis, just returned from Mecca.
In George Town, the port of Penang, I had come across Acheh Street: a century ago, the hub of the pilgrim trade. There, inns and agencies – often run by Arab traders from Sumatra – catered for Muslim Malays on their way to Jeddah, and then Mecca, via European- or Chinese-owned passenger boats. On the corner of Acheh and Armenian Streets, the handsomely revamped Syed Alatas mansion now acts as a museum of Muslim Penang. It belonged to an Arab-Sumatran magnate whose first wife came from Malay royalty; his second, from the Straits Chinese community. In this port, one man's faith became another man's business.
An ordeal suffered by those pilgrims' ancestors, 130 years ago, lay behind Joseph Conrad's great Lord Jim. In that novel (published in 1900), Conrad gives the "water-clerk"-turned-sailor Jim much of his own restless itinerary as a merchant mariner as he knocks around the eastern seas from port to port – Bombay, Rangoon, Calcutta, Penang. Then, as first mate of the pilgrim-ship Patna ("owned by a Chinaman, chartered by an Arab"), Jim gets a taste of authority. The ship takes on a complement of hajjis: "Eight hundred men and women with faith and hopes, with affections and memories".
Before journey's end, in a panic, the officers and crew will abandon their passengers, lying that the ship has sunk. It has not; the deception is unmasked. Branded with shame, Jim flees to seek redemption as the benign ruler of a jungle outpost. Two real histories fuelled the novel: the fate of the SS Jeddah, which sailed from Penang in 1880, and the life of James Brooke, the "White Rajah" of Sarawak in Borneo.
Penang's romance coexists with no-nonsense reality. Conrad buffs will know that more of his south-east Asian plots unfold in Bangkok or Singapore. But you will never track down the mood of the entrepots he often merely calls "an Eastern port" in those concrete metropolises now. Nor will you, for all the powder-sand beaches and top-notch accommodation, amid the shopping malls, high-rise condos and luxury hotels of the seaside area of Gurney Drive and Batu Ferringhi. But as for George Town's treasure-crammed historic core, protected since 2008 – with its warren-like lanes of artisan-filled "shophouses", tucked-away temples and gleaming Regency-era civic monuments – by its listing as a UNESCO World Heritage site: this is Conrad's "Eastern port", still intensely present and correct.
Don't, in down-to-earth Penang, expect celestial bliss of the sort Conrad's sea-dog Marlow feels on sniffing the aromatic odours of the East in Youth, "a whispered promise of mysterious delight". In George Town, founded by by the trader Francis Light for the East India Company in 1786, rapture takes on a more solid – often edible – form. Ah, the flavours of Penang! Here, even mystic Marlow might meet his match. The cuisine, like the cultures, delivers not so much fusion as dialogue – give-and-take, free exchange. No style dominates. Sample the uniquely spiced "Peranakan" dishes from the mixed Chinese-Malay community; traditional fare from Fujian, land of their forefathers for most Hokkien-speaking Penang Chinese; Indian Muslim "Mamak" curries; local classics from char kway teow to nasi kandar, served fast in street cafés, in grand colonial dining-rooms (try Sarkies Corner at the venerable E&O Hotel), in high-decibel food courts among lunching bankers (try Weld Court on Lebuh Pantai) and at the ubiquitous hawker stalls.
Even religious transcendence takes on the form of workaday nourishment. Half way down Jalan Majid Kapitan Keling – the "street of harmony" that runs past Anglican church and Hindu temple to the main mosque – stands the Chinese Goddess of Mercy temple. Beyond the smells and bells, candle-crowded shrines and bulbous red lanterns, shoppers gather for a spiritual pit-stop as functional as a cup of tea. Your eyes sting with smoke from a thousand offerings, but it makes for a cheerful, distinctly this-worldy sanctuary.
Here's another flavour of George Town that ties it to Conrad's eastern world. More of old China survives within a tight space here than in the bulldozer-happy Middle Kingdom. Enjoy it in a batch of gorgeously high-impact buildings: dragon-swathed carnivals of the gilder's, carver's sculptor's and glazier's arts. Visit the Cheong Fatt Tze mansion, the "Blue House" built by a mighty shipowner; and the Khoo Khongsi, the exuberantly grand clan headquarters of the Khoos (along with the Tans, Lims, Cheahs and Yeohs, the "five great clans" of Penang). For a gentler atmosphere, track down the green-walled Peranakan mansion on Lebuh Gereja. It was developed around 1900 by the Kapitan Kina Chung Keng Kwee: leader of the Chinese-Malay community whose eclecticism his home celebrates in an east-west riot of antique-filled rooms around a magical central courtyard.
Then, for a cool neo-classical contrast, visit the Palladian mansion of Suffolk House, elegantly restored in 2007. Here Francis Light lived with his companion Martina Rozells: part-Siamese, part-Portuguese, and one of those unofficial mates who fixed the deal and cleared the path for every British empire-builder in the East. So many kinds of people wrote this island's story. Try to find a taste of all of them.
Boyd Tonkin travelled to Malaysia with long-haul specialist Hayes & Jarvis (0871 664 0246; hayesandjarvis.com) and stayed one night at Parkroyal Penang, two nights at Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort and two nights at the Hard Rock Hotel on Penang, followed by two nights at Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur. Departing on 10 May, a seven-night Hayes & Jarvis package based on the same trip costs £1,189 per person (based on two sharing) including Malaysia Airlines flights from Heathrow, transfers and room-only accommodation. A seven-night holiday (five nights at Bayview Beach Resort, Penang and two nights at Hotel Capitol, Kuala Lumpur) costs from £899 pp, departing 10 May with Malaysia Airlines

Boston museum shows royal family, celebrity photos
Photographer Mario Testino laughs as he poses for a portrait during the preview of his shows "In Your Face" and "British Royal Portraits" at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2012. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)
BOSTON (AP) — Mario Testino poses for photographs in front of photographs.
Cameras flash as Testino stands, arms crossed, in black jeans, black suit coat and black collared shirt, the top two buttons open. Behind him, model Gisele Bundchen steps out of a car wearing a sparkly, silver dress in a 2007 Vanity Fair photograph.
Photos of superstars line the dark teal walls as museum Director Malcolm Rogers goes in for a photo with Testino, joking that he is the beast to the photographer's beauty.
"I've never thought of myself as a beauty as I work with these people," Testino replies with a laugh.
The celebrity and fashion photographer has himself become a celebrity, specifically requested by Madonna and the British royal family, Vogue and Vanity Fair, Gucci and Burberry. He helped launch the modeling careers of Bundchen and Kate Moss.
In his U.S. debut, two Museum of Fine Arts, Boston exhibits showcase Testino's three decades of work. The photographer himself selected the pieces in the exhibits, one of celebrity photos and one of the British royal family portraits.
Most of the pictures are familiar, splashed across American and European Vogues, Vanity Fair and the Internet. But this time, they're 2-, 3- and 8-feet tall.
"This is a contemporary artist who is in the thick of pop culture," museum curator Anne Havinga said.
Art critics may bash the show, because it's commercial, colorful and sexy, Rogers said.
Jennifer Lopez as a boxer. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and a snarling dog. Nude models, celebrities and athletes.
"I like to bring things here that are unexpected … take on new color, really to find excitement and beauty in things taken for granted," Testino said.
Born in Peru in 1954, Testino fell in love with fashion, from bellbottoms to a lilac terrycloth suit, when accompanying his father on business trips to the United States.
He moved to England in 1976 and took his first photograph of the British royal family in 1981, an impromptu shot of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Edward in a parade celebrating Prince Charles's marriage to Lady Diana Spencer. He sat on a mailbox to capture the shot, which features a smiling queen, seeming to look right at the camera.
More than a decade later, Testino went on to photograph the royal family in depth, often capturing them relaxed and informal in official portraits. He made the Vanity Fair photographs of Princess Diana smiling and lounging on a white couch months before her death, as well as the official 21st birthday shots of Princes William and Harry, and Prince William and Kate Middleton's engagement photos.
Despite his success, he said he still has insecurities when he's working.
"Just because you've won a gold medal doesn't mean you're going to win another one in a year," said Testino, who never spends more than four days in one place. "There's nothing more boring than someone who thinks that they're amazing."
"British Royal Portraits" will be on display from Oct. 21 through June 16.
"In Your Face" will exhibit celebrity portraits and candid shots from Oct. 21 through Feb. 3.

Did You Know?
Falling into the hands of English speakers in the 14th century, cadence derives via Middle English and Old Italian from the Latin verb cadere, meaning "to fall." (Cadere can be found in the history of many common English words, including decay, coincide, and accident.) We most often hear cadence used in contexts pertaining to voice or music—it might refer to the familiar way in which someone speaks, or the rhythms employed by a rap artist, or the rising and falling notes of a bird's call. Cadenza, the Old Italian word that factors into the history of cadence, has its own place in English as well. Cadenza in English usually refers to a brilliant musical flourish played before closing out an aria.
cadence in the Military
Cadence can refer to any rhythmic sequence of words or sound, but in military contexts, the word has a particular meaning, referring to the rhythmic chants sung by soldiers in marching formation.
These chants can often help keep marchers in line with the rhythm of the march:
Early each morning we were assembled for drill, marching to the cadence of a full-throated Marine sergeant who had little use for us; what he knew for sure about us was that we would be of little value in any hand-to-hand fight.
Lewis Thomas, in Authors at Sea, 1997
Origin and Etymology of cadence
Middle English, from Old Italian cadenza, from cadere to fall, from Latin — more at chance
First Known Use: 14th century

3salchow [0]
2axel into 2axel [1] solid, decent flow out of both jumps
sit broken leg to forward tuck/change sit side twist [-1] changed rotation centre slightly on change of foot, last position poorly extended
choreographic sequence [0]
camel upward twist/jump to sit/up cannonball to scratch(fast rotation) [0]
Poor posture and lines, not a lot of relation to the music. Edges werent very strong either, his basics really need work.
3. Joshua FARRIS /USA/
Schindler's List (soundtrack) by John Williams
4toe [-3] underrotated slightly, fall
3salchow [1] high and solid
3axel/2toe [0]
flying sit to cannonball to broken leg to forward tuck [1] quite well extended positions, decent rotation speed, good flow
circular step sequence [1] decent edges
3axel [0] slightly over the toe
footwork into 3flip [1]
3lutz/2toe/2loop(landed on two feet and stopped) [-2] short entry
camel to catch/change camel donut [1] good flow, decent rotation speed
3lutz [0]
choreographic sequence [1] decent edges and flow
spread eagle towards 2loop [1]
camel/sit/up butt out/change up cannonball(was meant to be the sit but way too high) to L [0] rotation speed decent to start with but he had to rush the spin to finish in time with the music and the change of foot was quite weak
He used his arms well throughout and his soft movements reflected the character of the music. His flow over the ice surface wasnt bad either. The choreography lacked variety and highlights, however and some more projection and attack in his movements would have been good to see.
4. Michal BREZINA /CZE/
Sherlock Holmes (soundtrack) by Hans Zimmer
4salchow(good height but very slightly over the toe)/2toe [0]
around the rink once more into 3axel [0] slightly over the toe again
and around the rink the third time into 4salchow [2] very solid
flying sit to cannonball coe to forward tuck [0] could use a little more speed
circular step sequence [2] good speed and expression, flowed well
3axel(hand down)/2toe [-1] entry quite long
3flip [1] high and solid
2loop [0] solid with good flow out but entry a little telegraphed (+1-1)
3lutz [-3] underrotated slightly, fall
choreographic straight line step sequence [0]
into 2salchow(way off-axis in the air, hand down)/1toe [-2]
camel/jump to sit/up pancake to raised leg/change camel/sit/up cross-foot [-1] quite slow
sit/change sit broken leg [0] could use more speed
Strong, deep and smooth edges enabling him to generate a lot of speed.
The choreography was very lackluster, however. At the start of the program, he stroked around the ice rink three times in a row, to plant jumps in the same place and it looked more like a practice session than a competitive program. His fourth jump (the second triple axel) had quite a long entry as well and the program didnt get fleshed out much more as it went on either.
He said I got tired in the Kiss&Cry so maybe it was a conditioning issue rather than a loss of focus.
5. Elladj BALDE /CAN/
Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd
3toe [1] high, flow out not bad
3axel(over the toe)/2toe [0] entry quite short with some footwork before (but not directly into the jump)
3flip [1] solid, quite short entry with footwork preceding it
circular step sequence [0] edges a little shallow
camel sideways twist/change sit cannonball/up cannonball/up cross-foot [0] rotation speed not bad but positions could have been extended better
3axel [-3] leaning forwards in the air, hand down, foot down
3lutz(a little over the toe)/2toe [0] flow out not bad
spread eagle to three-turns into 3loop [-2] two-footed
flying sit/jump to sit side twist to forward tuck(slow) [-1]
choreographic straight line step sequence [0] quite fast footwork but edges not very strong and upper body movement could have been more pronounced and extended better
3lutz [0]
2axel [1] - solid
transitions to camel to catch(not extended well)/change camel to donut coe(off-centred slightly) [-1]
This performance provided an interesting contrast to Brezina. Baldes basics arent anywhere near as good. He skates with rounded shoulders and his lines arent extended well. His basic skating isnt very strong either, although it has improved under Satos tutelage.
The program itself, however, was clearly superior in all aspects. There were a lot of transitions throughout and the entries into the elements were quite short with some footwork preceding a lot of them. Element layout was quite interesting too, utilising the ice surface very well and he moved in time with the music.
A new personal best for him (FS and total).
6. MURA Takahito /JPN/
Man of Steel (soundtrack)
2toe [-1] got timing wrong on the take-off, loose position in the air
4toe [-3] underrotated over 1/2, two-footed
3axel [1] very high, decent flow out, getting his free foot out a little strained though (+2-1)
camel coe/change camel upward twist to catch [1] very good rotation speed, positions could have been better extended though (+2-1)
3lutz/1toe [-1] lutz landing was little strained and he didnt have enough balance and momentum for a double or triple toe
camel/up to cross-foot/change sit/up butt out/sit forward tuck [0] quite good rotation speed but positions not extended well (+1-1)
3loop [-1] telegraphed, landing a little weak
1axel/2toe [0]
circular step sequence [1] fast footwork, edges not bad
3lip [-3] a very obvious outside edge from the start, it looked like a lutz (0-3)
3salchow [-2] step out
choreographic straight line step sequence [0]
unextended hydroblade into flying sit (camel position in the air) cannonball to broken leg(position not extended very well) [0]
The program lacked transitions and most of his jump had long entries. His lines werent extended and his movements were sluggish and really lacked projection and attack (it looked more like a 6am practice session than a competitive performance). There was hardly any relation to the music.
7. Jeremy ABBOTT /USA/
Exogenesis Symphony Number 3 (Redemption) by Muse
4toe [-3] underrotated, fall (I am surprised that it didnt get the < call at least as it seemed almost 1/2 short on the slo-mo)
3axel/3toe [2] quite short entry with some footwork preceding it, very solid on both jumps
sit cannonball to broken leg/change sit/jump to forward tuck [-1] slow and off-centred on the last position
2flip/1toe [-1]
circular step sequence [2] very good flow, neat footwork
into 2axel [1]
3axel [-3] fall
3salchow [1] decent flow out, short entry
1lutz [-3] foot down
3loop/2toe [1] solid
flying upright leg to the side to var to cross-foot [0]
choreographic straight line step sequence [1]
camel to upward twist/sit/jump to change sit/up var to up [1] quite good flow and rotation speed
Smooth basic skating. Very sophisticated choreography featuring a lot of detailed upper body movement throughout and a good use of the ice surface as well, with the element entries being quite short and often preceded by transitions. He seemed to really feel the music and connected to it well.
His focus seemed all over the place on the jumps, however as weve unfortunately seen so often from him in the past.
I am surprised that more skaters dont hire Sato for choreography as both Baldes and Abbotts programs showed she is capable of producing high quality work.
8. HANYU Yuzuru /JPN/
Romeo and Juliet by Nino Rota
three-turns into 4salchow [-3] fall
4toe [-2] slightly cheated, hand down, landing quite scratchy
footwork into 3flip [1]
circular step sequence [1] quite good flow
into flying camel upward twist to donut/change sit broken leg/up biellmann [0] off-centred slightly after change of foot (+1-1)
1axel(over the toe slightly)/1toe [-1]
footwork into 3axel/2toe [0] not a lot of flow out
3loop [1] solid, short entry
3lutz/half-loop/3salchow(cheated over 1/4) [0] good flow throughout (+1-1)
3lutz [0]
choreographic straight line step sequence [1] a beautifully extended ina bauer to start but the footwork he did afterwards wasnt that impressive
flying sit to cannonball/change sit forward tuck [2] good positions and rotation speed
camel coe/jump to sit/change up var to cross-foot [1] good rotation speed but off-centred very slightly at the end (+2-1)
Good speed and flow throughout. His posture and lines - which were never his strongest point - seemed to have regressed, however. His movements looked unfinished. The choreography lacked variety and light and shade.
9. ODA Nobunari /JPN/
Wilhelm Tell Overture by Giacochino Rossini
3toe [0] clearly a quad attempt but timing was a little off on the take-off
3toe [0]
3axel/2toe [0] solid landings but not a lot of speed and flow out
flying sit/jump to sit broken leg to forward tuck [0] could use a little more speed
circular step sequence [1] decent flow
3axel [1] good height, solid landing, entry a little telegraphed though (+2-1)
footwork towards 3lutz [1] good flow out
3flip [-3] fall
flying camel upward twist/jump to sit/up butt out [0]
spread eagle towards 3loop [1]
3salchow [1] good flow out
choreographic step sequence [1]
camel/sit holding foot/change sit side twist/up L [2] good flow and rotation speed
Decent flow. The program featured a few difficult jump entries but overall the choreography was quite sparse, lacking variety and highlights. There were a lot of arm movements throughout but they lacked attack and projection and could have been extended a little better. He seemed tense.
10. Patrick CHAN /CAN/
Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi
Concerto Grosso by Arcangelo Corelli
4toe/3toe [1] slight hesitation between the two jumps and not a lot of flow out but both landings very solid
4toe [1] good flow out
2axel [0]
circular step sequence [3] very good speed and flow, deep edges
flying sit to sideways twist to broken leg [1] quite good rotation speed
3lutz/half-loop/2salchow [0]
3lutz [0]
3loop [-1] slight step out
3flip/2toe [0]
camel/change camel to upward twist coe [1] good rotation speed
1axel [0]
choreographic straight line step sequence [2] light footwork
camel/jump to sit/change up cannonball/jump to up scratch [-1] weak change of foot, changed rotation centre a lot jumping to the last position
Whilst his basic skating was absolutely incredible as usual deep, smooth and secure edges and fantastic speed and flow throughout the program itself wasnt very complex. The entries into the jumps were longer than weve seen from him in the past, without many transitions preceding them and he didnt utilise the ice surface as well either. His movements were quite soft and flowed well, reflecting the character of the music, but they could have been extended and accentuated a little better.

And if they DO say something, there goes their designer castoffs, working vacations in Greece, cushy daily stipend, and total loss of self. At least that is what Neill would have us believe. After a few failed various relationships at home and school, Ali falls into a nanny job for one of the most high profile couples in London. Their children are sweet, smart, and in need of a little guidance and daily love. Her job consumes her, and as she becomes more enmeshed in the family, the children, parents, and even grandparents lean on her heavily for various levels of support. Ali is all too happy to comply, even after Nick, the father, disappears amidst allegations of insider trading and conspiring with another mother's husband at school. Ali observes the lives of the super rich are just as fraught with decisions and daily struggles, but on a different level as her own normal. When people start asking Ali questions, how loyal will she be? What does she really know? How involved, exactly, is she with the children she is supposed to be caring for?

Banco do Brasil Leads Banks on Basel III Rules: Sao Paulo Mover
Banco do Brasil SA, Latin America's largest lender by assets, rose the most in Sao Paulo trading among Brazilian banks after the central bank set new rules regarding implementation of Basel III capital requirements.
The federally controlled bank, based in Brasilia, climbed 2 percent to 26.87 reais at 1:26 p.m., the highest intraday price since Jan. 17. Banco Santander Brasil SA, the local unit of Spain's largest bank, advanced 0.8 percent, while Banco Bradesco SA (BBDC4) increased 0.8 percent. The benchmark Bovespa index declined 0.9 percent.
Banks will be allowed to use deferred tax assets as capital, Luiz Awazu, a central bank board member, told reporters in Brasilia today. The measure preserves about 60 billion reais ($30.3 billion) in tax credits owned by banks, Sergio Odilon dos Anjos, a central bank official, said at the same conference. Brazil starts implementing the new rules in October, according to a statement posted on the monetary authority's website.
"Banco do Brasil is rising because the measures help state-controlled banks more than the non-government banks," Pedro Galdi, chief strategist at Sao Paulo-based brokerage SLW Corretora, said in a telephone interview. "State-controlled banks need more capital."
The central bank said no lenders in Brazil will have to raise capital to comply with Basel III rules until 2016. Brazilian lenders will have to raise about 15 billion reais in capital from 2017 to 2019 under the new rules.
Basel III rules were drawn up to prevent a repeat of the financial crisis that followed the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in 2008.

George Colony, our CEO, just released a post on his blog about enterprise architecture, aptly enough named "Enterprise Architects For Dummies (CEOs)." I retweeted the post to my followers and received a flood of responses, most of which were violently disagreeing with George's assertion that EA works for the CIO. I think this is a pointless argument, but underscores a very important change that most are missing.
Here's what I mean:
Posted by Dave Bartoletti on August 26, 2012
With VMworld in full swing this week and Microsoft's cloud-centered Windows Server 2012 launching soon after, your options for technology to build and deploy enterprise clouds is about to expand significantly. Meanwhile, Amazon continues to drop prices faster than your local Wal-Mart, introduce new cloud compute and storage services almost monthly, and has already gobbled up a trillion objects in S3. Is it time to start moving your workloads to the cloud?
Forrsights surveys show that companies are indeed moving to the cloud, primarily for speed and lower costs — but are the savings really there? The answer might not be obvious. Are you heavily virtualized already? Have you moved up the virtualization value chain beyond server consolidation to using virtual machines for better disaster recovery, less downtime, automated configuration management, and the like? Do you have a virtual-first policy and actively share resources across business units? If you run a mature virtual environment today, your internal infrastructure costs might already be competitive with the cloud.

I just got a call from my sister a few minuetes ago of what happened at her bar and I thought I share it with everyone. My sister owns a neighborhood bar in the South part of St. Louis which is no longer good and safe neighborhood. The neighborhood is filled with crack dealers, crackheads and prositutes. It was once strong Dutch neighborhood.
During the week she had two men come in either drunk or acting like they were. My sister would not serve them and she was the only one in the bar area. These men refused to leave and threaten to come over the bar which left my sister screaming for her husband who was in the back room counting stock. He is a big man but she said he had a hard time pushing them out of the bar.
Well as soon as my brother-in-law got them out and locked the door behind them, they rushed a car parked in front of the bar with two drunk guys in it to car jack their car. Well guess what, the guys in the car were not drunk at all but undercover LEO's waiting for the right time to enter the bar to not put my sister in danger. They seen what was going on from outside the bar and set up a front to help.
I applaud these LEO's for their good work because in this neighborhood seldom the good guy is on top!!!!

Classic Car ID help
Just a suggestion but Star automobiles were built by Durant Motors(early GM) in the US. and there was a Canadian car called the Star Touring. These were mid to late twenties cars.
I checked them out, but this car isn't one of them. Star Cars had a Cadillac-style emblem that said "Star" across it, leading to your point that it was an early part of Genaral Motors. At this rate, we'll get it simply by finding out what it isn't! Thanks anyway, Bob.
Aw c'mon guys!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!
Maybe a late 20's?
My guess is a 1927 Dodge
Thanks, Crazy! We may have a winner. I say "may" because the wings are a little different and the star is on the shell rather than the grille itself, but its the closest so far! You guys are awesome.
