Karl Urban Talks Dredd
An 'introductory' film, he says
We sat down with Karl Urban in LA recently to talk Priest, but while we had him we asked a few quick questions about Dredd as well, the new Judge Dredd film in which he stars as the behelmeted law-man.
Urban talks about being aware of the expectations of fans, but adds, "We went to extraordinary lengths to honour the source material, and John Wagner himself came out to set and was really happy with what he saw. It's inevitable that not everybody's going to be happy, and there's going to be elements that people will see that are missing or aren't in the first, introductory movie, but I think that as long as you remain faithful to the essence of the source material you're on the right track."
Didja notice that bit about "first, introductory" movie? It sounds to us as if the filmmakers are very much thinking in terms of franchise here. Now in fairness, Andrew Macdonald hinted as much at last year's Movie Con, saying that, "If we get it right, [screenwriter] Alex [Garland] has a couple of ideas for other stories as well." But this is further evidence that they're feeling confident, or at least optimistic, about this effort.
The Dredd stuff starts at about 02.00, so skip to that bit to hear what Urban has to say - he also talks about the tone of the film.
Priest is out today; Dredd is due out late this year.

Naive question maybe but how do you discipline a toddler??(7 Posts)
I think your mistake is hanging your hopes on a method that will clear up any misbehaviour at once and for good. Ime toddlers just don't work like that; even with the best method you have to be prepared to repeat it again and again. The fact that you punish her once and she then does it again doesn't mean you have failed or the method has failed; it might just mean you have to keep persevering.
My mantra at this age used to be "child-rearing is work in progress".
I usually reserve time out for really severe behaviour e.g hitting/ biting as I don't like doing it either.
The thing to remember is consistency- the behaviour might not improve immediately. Discipline isn't a magic solution to bad behaviour, it's something that is built up over time so if your DC misbehave they know there WILL be a consequence. So keep removing/ignoring and eventually she will get bored or grow out of it. The only bad thing you can do is to do nothing IMO
I've tried the firmly but calmly removing the drink as soon as she misbehaves but it doesn't seem to stop it happening again an hr or 2 later. Maybe I need to look into time out. I'll have a scout around house to see where I could put her for a minute of time out.
It'll break my heart slightly to do time out as I still feel she's my baby but I don't want her to grow up naughty & undisciplined for her own sake!
I agree with cassell - the drink issue is easily solved by removing the drink the second she does it. I would also say firmly but calmly that no, she shouldn't do that
I would suggest simply give her a warning that if she throws/spits her drink that it will be taken away. Then when she does it again quietly and calmly take away the cup/whatever. Calm consistency and simple consequences is key at this age IMO.
Also give her positive attention and praise when she behaves in a way you like and withdraw attention/act bored/ignore when she behaves badly. So with the drinking when she's drinking nicely comment on that in a positive happy voice and when she starts to mess around then do the warning then remove the drink and ignore. If you give her lots of attention and try and get her to listen to your explanations when she misbehaves she will do it more as she's found a way to get instant attention.
Institute "time out" - it's good to start this at about 18 months as you are correct that developmentally there is now some understanding of cause and effect. However, it has to be absolutely immediate as if you even so much as finish putting on the laundry before doing the below the toddler-brain won't make the connection between the naughty behaviour and the consequence.
Then toddler is doing something naughty.
(a) (as you already are) make eye contact and say "no, you must not do (X - explain exactly the thing not just saying "do that") or you will have a time out"
(b) toddler does it again (of course)
(c) put them in "time out" (see below) - at 18 months this should be for no more than a minute, if she gets very upset then probably just 30 seconds to start off with - as they get older it should be an additional minute per year of age
(d) at end of the appropriate time (during which she may well have started to cry), go back and give a big cuddle - say "I love you very much but you had to have a time out because you must not (X) and you did after I told you not to. The time out is over now"
... repeat as often as necessary.
As for "time out" location - at 18 months we used either the playpen (all toys removed) or strapped in the high chair facing a blank wall - and left the room. Later you can have sitting on the bottom stair but that only works once you are obedient enough to sit still when they are told to. Choose something that works for you - it has to be somewhere boring with nothing to play with where they can't see you, but where they are safe.
DD is 20 months & have been using 'distraction' whenever she acts up for months as I read you can't really use proper discipline until at least 2 years. DD however since 18 months has been talking in full sentences & counting to 10 so developmentally I think she's far enough ahead that I need to start disciplining soon else I'm going to end up with a little monster!
Her particular 2 things at the moment are drinking water/milk then when she's had enough continuing to drink but spitting the liquid out or shaking the cup to try make water go everywhere and she also quite likes to throw things, sometimes food but more often than not anything she can reach when frustrated/tired.
I've been trying to get down to her level & make eye contact whilst saying sternly that that's not good behaviour & mummy is cross but the little minx finds it either hilarious or sometimes the best challenge in the world to avoid eye contact & will fling herself about until I physically hold her in place, then will roll her eyes to back of head to avoid eye contact!
I've got DS due in 6 weeks so really want to try calm DD down a bit before then but don't really know where to start. I don't really want to smack / shout all the time. What else works at this age?
Or any recommendations for books on this subject?

April 15 - 21 Is Library Week In New York
State Senator Hugh T. Farley (R,C - Schenectady), Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Libraries, announces that Library Week in New York Stateis April 15th through April 21st.
"Libraries are a place of lifelong learning," Senator Farley said. "Librarians are truly amazing people. They inspire young people and invite them into a library where there is an adventure on every shelf. Librarians and their staff help the public, and alsowork behind the scenes,maintaining the cataloguing system, processing and preparing books and audiovisual materials, and keeping library shelves full. They deserve recognition for their efforts."
The Catholic Charities Family Room, located at 1 Kimball Avenue, Amsterdam, is saluting the celebration early with a book swap on April 9th at 5 p.m.
The Johnstown Public Library will host its 11th annual Storybook Sundae on April 22nd from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at Fulton Montgomery Community College's Student Union.
Senator Farley encourages people to use their local libraries. "Reading is a fun activity that opens the mind to all sorts of adventures," Senator Farley said. "As a former teacher, I try to promote reading and learning as much as possible. Parents have a very important responsibility in their children's growth and education. Studies have shown that children whose families are involved in their learning become higher achievers and learn more quickly than children whose families are not. It's a big responsibility, but it's not difficult to help your children learn. The best way is to encourage them to read. When children see their family members reading, writing and conversing, they naturally want to participate."
Senator Farley said New York State is home to many of the world's finest libraries, with 7,000 institutions offering services ranging from scholarly research to recreational reading. "Take the time in this upcoming week to stop in at your local library and tell the staff how great they are," Senator Farley said.
As the Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Libraries, Senator Farley led efforts to increase operating aid to libraries by $5 million in the recently-passed State budget. This represents a 5% increase in aid. He also obtained over $200,000 in special legislative grants for local libraries in Fulton, Montgomery, Schenectady and Saratoga counties. The State Budget also includes $14 million in new funds for building projects and improvements by libraries.
Special moneys for library construction were first secured by the State Legislature in last year's budget. These construction grants were offered Statewide on a competitive basis. The following three local applicants were recently awarded construction funds:
* Ballston Spa Public Library, Saratoga County, $62, 096. The funding will be used to create a small addition to house an elevator, mechanical room and new entry way.
* Northville Public Library, Fulton County, $40,788. The funding will be used to renovate the second floor, install an elevator and install lighting.
* Fort Plain Free Library, Montgomery County, $44,547. The funding will be used for rebuilding front porch and columns, removal of drop ceilings, paneling and wainscoting, and restoration of original walls and ceilings.
Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Libraries since 1978, Senator Farley sponsored all significant library legislation adopted over three decades. He was a member of the Governor's Commission on Libraries, an elected delegate to the White House Conferences on Libraries in 1979 and 1991, and a recipient of the New York Library Association President's Award. As prime Senate sponsor of the New York Library Initiative legislation, he led successful efforts to increase library funding in the State budget.

KLAQ's Boss Man Gets His Own Cartoon — Check Out 'Breaking Brad'
Lately our illustrious general manager, Brad Dubow, has been on our case about doing more cartoons. A lot! Let's just say…be careful what you wish for.
Why "Breaking Brad"? Well, over the years we have discovered that, though he's an incredible salesman and a true pillar of our community, Brad can be prone to mix metaphors, use "cheesy" lines from old corporate motivational seminars, mispronounce certain words he may have read but never said and generally blur the grammatical lines of the English language.
He's also a pretty easy target because EVERYONE at our station has a Brad imitation! Yeah, even those brown-nosers in sales!
So we paired Brad with America's favorite meth maker, Jesse Pinkman, got 'em an RV, a couple of lawn chairs and sent the duo into the New Mexico desert to cook up some fun!

La Paz, Mexico (AFP) Oct 17, 2012
The storm formerly known as Hurricane Paul weakened into a tropical depression Wednesday as it moved away from Mexico's west coast after triggering floods and damaging around 100 homes.
Paul was 25 kilometers (15 miles) from the Baja California peninsula at 2100 GMT as it moved towards the northwest into the ocean with maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour (35 miles per hour), Mexico's National Weather Service said.
The storm did not make landfall, but civil protection authorities in the state of Baja California Sur said its winds and rain damaged around 100 homes, flooded some areas and took down trees.
Up to 40 percent of the small fishing communities in Bahia de Magdalena were flooded while 500 people were taken to shelters after being evacuated from islands, said Venustiano Perez, mayor of the town of Comondu.
After becoming a category three hurricane on the five-level Saffir-Simpson scale on Monday, Paul weakened gradually as it approached Baja California, becoming a tropical storm on Tuesday then losing more steam Wednesday.
Mexican authorities declared a state of emergency to unlock funds for the towns of Comondu, La Paz, Loreto and Mulenge.

Adam Lambert Smooches A Dude On Stage
Last night's American Music Awards were pretty darn amusing, from the opening medley of Janet Jackson's classics to Lady Gaga's piano bursting into flames as she sat down before it. But the stand-out number was the last: Adam Lambert's performance of "For Your Entertainment." The single is thoroughly eh, but the image of him holding the leash of two men in bondage gear as they crawled across the stage was pretty provocative. Then there was the moment where one of the dancers licked his belt, the part where he humped his mic stand, and then when he felt up the leg of a dancer straddling him. Oh, and then there was the moment when he aggressively made out with his keyboard player. In an interview after the performance, Lambert said, "Sometimes, performing live, you're just in the moment. Things just happen. Adrenaline is a crazy thing." But he said that the performance was more of a political statement than that. "Women performers have been pushing the envelope sexually for 20 years," he says. "But a man does it and it's, 'We can't show it on TV.' It's a bit of a double standard." So what do you think—was this his version of Britney Spears' strip-hold-the-snake-and-kiss-Madonna moment? Or was it not fit for TV?

Collin McHugh and the Houston Astros beat the Kansas City Royals at their own game Thursday night, relying on sharp pitching and stingy defense for a 5-2 victory in the opener of their AL Division Series.
McHugh (1-0) allowed four hits, including a pair of solo homers by Kendrys Morales, while pitching around a 49-minute rain delay. The right-hander lasted six innings before turning the game over to his bullpen, which scattered three runners over the final three frames.
Tony Sipp, Will Harris and Oliver Perez got the game to Luke Gregerson, part of Oakland's wild-card collapse in Kansas City last year. He handled the ninth to earn the save.

text: New York, Pennsylvania Online Gambling Update By SBR Friday, August 5, 2016 Share with: Sportsbook Review's Natalie Rydstrom reports on the latest online gambling legalization news out of New York and Pennsylvania. On Wednesday afternoon, NY Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law a bill legalizing fantasy sports in the big apple, bringing to an end the long-standing witch hunt led by NY District Attorney Eric Schneiderman who sensationally declared fantasy contests illegal gambling. An update is also given on Pennsylvania's efforts to add their name to the list of states offering legal forms of intrastate gambling. The PA legislation, bill HB 2150, is arguably more exciting for sports bettors due to the 'Hail Mary' provision included that would allow PA casinos to accept sports bet in the event that it became legal federally to do so.

X100s users: focus point visible in the viewfinder ?
Hello to all of you X100s users,
I am very tempted to purchase the X100s (if you want to know why, see my other threads in this forum, and in the Canon 60D/7D forum).
I am a canon DSLR shooter and I am used, especially with my 2 kids (age 2 and 4), to select in the viewfinder one AF point (not necesserly the central one) and compose my shot according to the selected AF point. This to avoid to focus and recompose, especially dangerous when using big apertures (F2 and bigger).
Even if I do not half press the shutter button (or the AF button on the back) I always know what AF point I have choosen, and I can compose very quickly. This is very handy especially when trying to take a picture of fast moving objects (or children)
My question (it my be a silly one; but honestly I have never hold a X100 or X100s in my hands): in the X100s viewfinder, are there already pre-defind AF points visible, as for in example in a DSLR ? or do I have to choose ANY location in the viewfinder I want as an AF point (as for example in LIVE VIEW mode on a DSLR, or any P&S that has a touch screen LCD).
By selecting a pre-defined AF point (or location, depending on the answer on the question above) in the viewfinder; will it always be visible in the viewfinder so I can compose accordingly to it ? Or will it only be visible when I have press the shutter button.
Sorry if my question is not too easy to understand, but English is not my native language...
Thanks in advance
Kind regards from Belgium

The ICIS contingent at last night's Chemical Industries Association (CIA) dinner has now recovered sufficiently to be able to string a few words together about the event…
A great time was had by all in the Great Room at the Grosvenor House Hotel in
He gave a good speech vowing support for the industry in innovation and skills while warning of the "huge challenge of decarbonising industrial chemistry." (Says chemical engineer Simon: "Just how we're going to do that in an industry based on organic chemistry is beyond me, but where there's a will and unlimited science budget there could be a way.")
Numbers were down, but that had to be expected given the dire year we've had. What was noticeable was that a lot of diners stayed in the Great Room to chat after the meal rather than dash off to company hospitality suites (of which there were pitifully few), and it only thinned out at close to 1.00 am.

Hudson prison will not house Colorado inmates
June 19, 2013
State officials said Friday they won't contract with a private Hudson prison to house Colorado inmates, but the community would be eligible for a piece of $3 million in state grants if the prison closes.
The Hudson Correctional Facility, a 4-year-old, medium-security facility run by the GEO Group, housed as many as 1,050 Alaskan prisoners at one point. Alaska is set to remove the last of its prisoners by September, ending the state's contract and leaving the private facility without a customer.
With the state inmate population on the decline — by 131 inmates per month on average — legislation allotted funds for a prison utilization study. The state will also dole out $3 million to help communities that would suffer financially if their facilities were cut or closed.
Officials from the Department of Local Affairs, the Governor's Office of State Planning and Budgeting and the Office of Economic Development and International Trade met at a public meeting Friday morning in Hudson to discuss the study, which will help the state determine which state prison facilities will be downsized or closed. The group of officials traveled around the state this week to rural facilities.
"The primary reason we're visiting each community is that we're all aware that any actions by the state based on results of this prison utilization study will have an impact on the community," said Charles Unseld, an official with the Department of Local Affairs.
The Hudson facility would not be affected by state cuts, but the 1,200-bed prison, which employs about 200 people, faces closure if a new client does not enter into a contract. The community would then qualify for state grants because it would be affected by the loss of a prison.
Henry Sobanet, director of the state planning and budget office, said while the state won't be looking to house inmates in Hudson any time soon, that could change.
"Maybe this facility would meet our needs in the future," he said.

Given the recent warm weather a person could expect Cambridge street crews to be out and about repairing as many damaged roads as possible, right?
There's a reason that isn't the case, Mayor Tom Orr told City Council Monday.
"We're getting calls from all over town, and we've got a lot of existing holes that were leftovers from two months of the worst ice we've had in years," he said. "Here's the reality a lot of people don't know. For example, we would like to fix these holes immediately and put some dirt on top of them ... but there's no supply of dirt out there! It's all either frozen or heavy mud. We called companies we've traditionally called ,but they don't have any yet. It might be another 30 days."
Orr said he's asking departments to set aside extra soil they might have to have it on hand to help make temporary repairs.
Crews have cold-patched potholes as time and materials allow, however.
In legislative action, council approved on the third and final reading a community reinvestment tax abatement for American Enery-Utica LLC. The company is constructing a regional headquarters in the D.O. Hall Business Center.
The Finance Committee of City Council approved a request Monday from the Cambridge Municipal Court to bolster the special projects indigent offender's fund by $50,000 to cover the cost of electronic monitoring. Those ordered into the monitoring program pay the costs of their monitoring.
Council approved a request to appropriate $2,014.40 into a police salary line item, reimbursement from the federal government for costs to the local department as part of an ongoing investigation.
When meeting at 4:30 p.m. March 17, the Finance Committee will consider a request from the Parks Department to set pay rates for seasonal department workers.
Orr recognized Clerk of Council Sharon Cassler on being named to the 2014 Board of Directors for the Ohio Municipal League.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/8/2014 (1068 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A couple that plays cribbage together stays together.
Gerry and Ella Otto, residents of the Crestview area, are members of Team Manitoba heading to the 2014 Canada 55+ Games, being held in Strathcona County, Alta. from Aug. 27 to 30.
Cribbage is a card game in which the goal of the game is to be the first to score 121 points.
"You try to make a combination of 15, and for every 15 you get, you get two points on your cribbage board," 79-year-old Gerry said.
Gerry and Ella have been playing cribbage for 22 years in the Manitoba 55 Plus Games. Gerry said he and his wife play cribbage because it gives them something to do and they like to meet new people with similar interests.
This is the second time the Ottos are participating the Canada 55+ Games.
"It's sometimes held too far away. It's been in the Yukon, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia. This time it's just outside Edmonton — we're going to drive there," Otto said.

Longhouses, Palacerigg Country Park
colin.shipton - Tue, 12/21/2010 - 09:22
The Millennium Longhouses were designed and built by Charles Gulland. They are a base for demonstrations on a variety of woodland and other crafts. They also provide an unusual venue for meetings and small conferences.
The Longhouse is constructed from sustainable resource of home grown timber. Conifer thinnings are bent while green/fresh to form pre-stressed timber frames which are then assembled on site.
Dallman Johnstone designed the interior fit-out and were the Project Managers for this unique venue.

Description: Mooney, Knox, and Schacht's UNDERSTANDING SOCIAL PROBLEMS uses a theoretically balanced approach, student-centered approach to provide a comprehensive exploration of social problems. The text progresses from a micro- to macro-level of analysis, focusing first on such problems as illness and health care, drugs and alcohol, and family problems, and then broadening to the larger issues of poverty and inequality, population growth, environmental problems, and conflict around the world. The social problem in each chapter is framed in a global as well as U.S. context. In every chapter, the three major theoretical perspectives are applied to the social problem under discussion, and the consequences of the problem, as well as alternative solutions, are explored. Pedagogical features such as "The Human Side" and "Self and Society" enable you to grasp how social problems affect the lives of individuals and apply your understanding of social problems to your own life.

Due to the remarkable properties of chalcogenide (Chg) glasses, Chg optical waveguides should play a significant role in the development of optical biosensors. This paper describes the fabrication and properties of chalcogenide fibres and planar waveguides. Using optical fibre transparent in the mid-infrared spectral range we have developed a biosensor that can collect information on whole metabolism alterations, rapidly and
The use of chalcogenide glasses offers notable advantages such as remarkable optical properties like a wide transmission window (1–20 μm), depending on composition, high refractive indices, which allow a high portion of the light to be concentrated outside of the core material, making them suitable for sensitive detection of clinical or environmental changes [
Emerging technologies related to thermal imaging as well as infrared sensors have prompted new research projects involving infrared transmitting materials, including chalcogenide glasses. The need for optical sensors operating in the mid IR region, where the main IR signatures of molecules and biomolecules are located, is playing an important role in the development of analytical techniques providing, for instance,
Among the many fields where integrated optics may be applicable, the development of optical sensors is one the most promising, leading to low cost and highly compact optical systems. Slab waveguides based on chalcogenide amorphous films with good adherence and controlled composition that can include rare earths may be obtained using different modes of deposition such as thermal evaporation [
Fibre Evanescent Wave Spectroscopy is an efficient and easy way to record infrared spectra. FEWS enables
The optical fibre sensor used in this study was made of chalcogenide glass from the Te-As-Se (TAS) glass family. This glass is characterized by a high refractive index (around n = 2.8 from 2 to 12 µm), a large transmission window in the MIR, from 2 to 16 μm. Moreover, its thermo-mechanical properties make it easy to shape into optical fibres by pulling a glass rod at high temperature (see Section 3.1). To increase the level of detection, a tapered part is created and used as a sensing zone. Typically, the profile in diameter is 400 μm in the transportation section and 100 μm in the tapered section. In this experimental configuration, the evanescent wave penetration depth allows probing of only the very first microns of the sample. The sensing part of the fibre is maintained in a U-shape and directly put in contact with the biological sample, and then, a spectrum is collected. A background spectrum is collected before each experiment. Spectral resolution is set to 4 cm−1 and spectra resulted from the co-addition of about 100 scans.
A surgical transient focal-cerebral ischemia was produced on the right hemisphere of rat brains. For this purpose anaesthesia was induced with an intra-peritoneal injection of a mixture of ketamine and xylazine. After induction, the animals were ventilated thought a facemask with 2% isoflurene in a mixture of 30% O2 and 70% N2. The body temperature was maintained at 37°C by a heating pad. Heart rate and pO2 were monitored with a pulse oximeter (Nonin 8600MV). Transient focal ischemia in the area perfused by middle cerebral artery (MCA) was induced as follows: briefly, the occluder, a 4-0 nylon suture with a silicone-coated tip (0.25 mm in diameter), was advanced from the external carotid artery into the lumen of the internal carotid artery until it blocked the origin of the MCA. Reperfusion was accomplished by withdrawal of the suture. Ischemia was performed during 60 min, following by a period of 120 min of reperfusion before sacrifice.
A few millimetre slice of each brain sample is used for the fibre experiment. The slice chosen encompassed a part of the damaged zone, as determined by histological staining. Then, the fibre is put in contact with different parts of the brain slice, sub-cortical zone of each hemisphere. The contact zone between the fibre and the brain sample is about 1 mm.
Thanks to the optical fibre sensor, the sub-cortical area of four rat brains was analyzed by remote MIR spectroscopy. The left and right hemisphere MIR spectra from a given coronal slice were compared for each brain sample (
For rat brain n° 1 (
Animals used in this study were four mice reported to develop obesity related to an homozygous mutation in the leptin gene, leading to hyperphagia and type II diabetes. In addition four mice, which are heterozygous for the mutation and do not develop obesity, were used as control. All animals were maintained in accordance with French law and regulations. After anaesthesia blood samples were obtained by intracardiac puncture and serum was then separated by centrifugation after coagulation. Fresh serum was used for infrared spectroscopy. In addition, glycaemia (expressed as mean ± SD) was quantified using an enzymatic method (glucose oxidase). For infrared analysis, 10 μL of serum was put down on the fiber. Then the fibre was turn up and the spectrum then acquired. Two spectra were obtained from each sample. Note that the spectra shown in
The PCA consists in considering the initial spectra as linear combinations of so-called factor spectra. The significance of a particular factor spectrum is given by the corresponding coefficient of the combination, called score. The software arranges directly the factor spectra according to these scores: the first one is the most significant and the higher indexed ones quickly represent very noisy factor spectra. The PCA map represents the initial spectra as points in two or three dimension spaces. The axis corresponds to the factor spectra and the co-ordinates are the corresponding scores. Generally, the first factor spectra of the combination are the more relevant to discriminate the initial spectra into non-overlapping clusters. Note that generally the PCA is not implemented for the whole infrared spectra, but rather restricted to frequency ranges which present large inter-sample variances.
No visible spectral signature, like line shifts or variation in intensities, enabled differentiation between both families. Then PCA was implemented in the 1,100–1,000 cm−1 range corresponding to the sugar rings vibration bands. The PCA map obtained by considering the two first factor spectra is presented in
The difficulties of manufacturing micron-and nano-size structures in chalcogenides compared to oxide glass or SOI are well-known [
A change in the optical characteristics of the external environment (i.e., a change in refractive index or a biochemical reaction) involves a modification of the properties of optical propagation in the waveguide. This phenomenon is induced via the evanescent field spreads over several hundred nanometers into the external environment. For the evaluation of specific interactions, the receiver is attached covalently on the sensor surface, while the complementary molecule is free to come onto the receiver. The recognition of the complementary molecule by the receiver will cause the change of refractive index detectable by the optical sensor.
Considering the use of chalcogenide film as biosensor, an attempt at biofunctionalisation of these films was carried out on planar waveguides. One of the most useful techniques to prepare layers is the formation of self-assembled-monolayers (SAMs) [
We have observed a good adherence of gold on the surface of the films which can't be easily scratched or peeled off and might be due to the creation of Au-S bonds. Anchor molecules (1,1 mercaptoundecanoic acid, MUA) were hooked on the gold to form SAMs on which antibodies could be attached. SAMs was activated by NHS/EDC (
Chalcogenide glass targets and preforms were synthesized from commercial elemental precursors (Ge, Sb, As, S, Se, Te) of high purity (5N). The precursors, despite their high purity, present surface oxidation and can be polluted by water. Elements as As, S, Se, and Te were specially purified to remove oxygen, molecular water, carbon and silica. These impurities introduce absorption in the mid- and far-IR ranges, as well as bulk scattering losses due to micro-inclusions. The chemical reagents S and Se were purified by vacuum distillation with a low rate of evaporation. All the elements were placed in evacuated quartz ampoules and then sealed. The synthesis was performed in a rocking furnace in the temperature range of 650–800 °C for 8–12 h, depending on compositions. The ampoules with the melt was then air-quenched. Targets and performs were directly obtained from glass rods in the form of cylinders of 15 or 50 mm in diameter. The drawing process is carried out using a fibering tower specially adapted for chalcogenide glasses (
Chalcogenide films were deposited by RF-magnetron sputtering on top of surface oxidized silicon substrates. Deposition was carried out at a working pressure in the range of 5 × 10−3–5 × 10−2 mbar. The sputtering power was maintained at low RF power (15–50W) during the deposition. The layer and rib waveguide surface were analysed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (JEOL JSM 6301F).
A classical photolithography process was used to prepare dry etching with a positive Shipley S1813 photoresist. First, a 1.3 μm thick photoresist was spin coated on the wafers. After softbake, the photoresist was then exposed to UV by means of a Cr-mask using a Suss Microtech MJB3 i-line mask aligner. The exposed bands were dissolved with a commercial developer. Considering the high reactivity of chalcogenide films in relation to the NH4OH or KOH-based developer, the TMAH-based developer Microposit MF 319 was selected. After hard-bake, different parameters were investigated in the etch process, gas flow from 1 to 30 sccm, gas pressure between 0.3 and 30 mTorr and RF power in the range of 30–300 W. CF4 gas was selected since the F− ions could form volatile compounds with sulphide or selenide. The etch rates were determined by SEM on film cross-sections. The effective refractive indices of the propagation modes in the planar waveguide were measured with a Metricon-2010. Four laser beam wavelengths in the range from 633 to 1550 nm for both TE and TM polarization and rutile prism were used to excite the TE and TM modes inside the planar chalcogenide waveguides. Optical losses were measured by studying the scattered light from the surface of the waveguides. These waveguides varied in length from 2 to 2.5 cm. The laser light was single-mode fibber-coupled into the waveguide. The intensity of the scattered light was recorded with a digital camera placed above the sample. Transverse scanning along the light propagation direction enabled us to obtain the 2-D light intensity distribution of the waveguide modes. The longitudinal variation was obtained by integrating the data along each sampling transverse line. The light intensity decreased exponentially with the z-propagation distance. In this study, the attenuation values were the average of several measurements performed on several samples. The polarization of the coupled light in the waveguide was not controlled. In addition, light propagation was observed at the output of the waveguides by near field profiles of guided modes at 1,550 nm.
Chalcogenide glasses are a matchless material exhibiting large optical transparency in the infrared range, together with thermo-mechanical properties that make them easy to shape into optical devices such as lenses, fibres, or planar guides. In that context, the development of optical sensors is surely one of the most exciting and promising uses for these chalcogenide materials. In that framework, optical fibre and a planar waveguide have been successfully designed, exhibiting suitable properties for use as infrared sensors. Some pioneer FEWS works, performed with a fibre on rat or mice, have already revealed all the potential of such systems, especially in the medical field. One of the next steps will consist in emphasizing our effort on the statistical tool in order to pull out all the relevant contents of such spectra.

Drivers could be using the Beltway Express lanes to cruise to Thanksgiving feasts.
The 14 miles of special toll lanes will open early, as soon as Nov. 17, in plenty of time for Turkey Day travel, the Virginia Department of Transportation announced Wednesday.
The lanes, which are free for carpoolers but will charge a varying toll to other drivers who just want a less congested ride, were expected to open in December. They stretch from the Springfield interchange to just north of the Dulles Toll Road on the Virginia side of the Beltway. Workers monitoring the lanes will raise toll prices at peak use times, reducing congestion on those lanes by making them more expensive to use.
Drivers will need an E-ZPass to ride the lanes, which won't have toll booths, or an E-ZPass Flex if they want to carpool and avoid the electronic toll.
"The 495 Express Lanes are on track to open earlier than expected in November, which means drivers must take steps now to prepare to use the new lanes," VDOT Commissioner Greg Whirley said in a statement. "This facility will have a regional impact on all travelers. We need drivers to be prepared for the changes in traffic patterns and new rules of the road. If you plan to use the Express Lanes, make sure you are equipped with an E-ZPass."
Drivers can go to the Beltway Express Lanes website to learn more about how to use the new lanes.

Hi ActiveDen people. came here from VideoHive asking for your advice. There is this simple problem, which might bee too simple for you, but it's huge for me as I'm not working with flash and actionscript normaly.
I made a video banner for client that plays separate flv file. banner will be displayed in the separate window or something so in the banner has to be X close button that calls JavaScript.
that part is fine, but the same button also have to kill the video stream. I was searching the forums and Google and all i can find is yourvideoplayername.stop(); which stops video and audio, but doesn't stop the loading process. I mean – I can see at the bottom of my browser that it is still accessing the third party website and is loading the video content from there – therefore wasting resources while video is already closed.
any help?
Is this video managed with FLVPlayback Class or a custom written video class?
If you're using the FLVPlayback Component, add this:
video.stop(); video.closeVideoPlayer();
if your using your own custom player, add this:
netConnectionVar.close(); netStreamVar.close(); video.clear();

An air compressor converts power from an electric motor or a diesel/petrol engine, into kinetic energy by compressing air.
At home, you might hire an air compressor to power nail guns, glue guns, spray guns, wrenches and many other tools. For industrial use, the petrol and diesel models are ideal for site use or mobile applications away from electrical power.
Before hiring an air compressor, consider the power and size you require:
- Power - Electric-powered air compressors are the most common however; gas-powered air compressors are ideal for areas where electricity is limited or unavailable.
- Size - Larger tanks store more compressed air at higher pressures.
PlantMiner has a wide range of air compressors suitable for DIY enthusiasts, through to professional tradesmen. The top brands include Caterpillar, Atlas Copco and Airman.

Emily Owens, M.D. (premiering Oct. 16 on CW) can be diagnosed and dismissed as a copy of Grey's Anatomy. But it does have one draw of its own: Meryl Streep's daughter, Mamie Gummer as Emily.
This is actually Gummer's second turn as a series doctor. She also played one in ABC's short-lived Off the Map, from - by the way - Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes. But she insists Emily is a very different kind of doctor.
"The character I played in Off the Map was harder, more cynical ... Emily is hopeful and optimistic and lighter, and wears her heart on her sleeve. Different."
Acting, of course, is nothing new to Gummer — even beyond her well-regarded guest shots on The Good Wife. She grew up, as she says, "in an artistic household," and was putting on shows in the living room for as long as she can remember.
"I feel like I've been the star of my own show for awhile, and I'm just happy people have decided to tune in."

Train frequency, the pitch in which the train horns are sounded are strictly of personal preferences. However the classic train horns are assured to be tuned to certain frequency so as to have a distinguishing sound. To the untrained ears, the approximate frequency very well may represent or alert them to the "train horn sound", but to the purists train horns set to frequency other than 277-494 hz are simply cheap imitations.
Such frequencies are not hard to set but are often the signature sounds of train horn brands such as Nathan. While many other factors such as the material from which the horns are made of and compressor pressure may affect the volume and the slight timbre of the train horn blasts, the tonal qualities of train horn is majorly impacted by the frequency from which the train horn is set to.
So when you are looking to purchase your train horn kit, add the frequency to another set of factors you want to consider. If you need more references in considering the sound of the train horns, you can refer to our sound samples located on each of our train horn kit pages to get a better idea. Happy blasting!

Advanced Design and Analysis (MECH5416)
This UoS utilises assumed theoretical knowledge and skills to elucidate the stresses and strains that exit in the different categories of machine parts. It sets out to make the students familiar with the simplifications that are applied to arrive at the analytic expressions commonly used to analyse each individual categories parts. These simplifications usually begin by assuming that only particular types of loads are carried by teh parts in that category. The resulting analyses provide approximations to the actual stresses. It is possible to have different degrees of simplifications, requiring more or less work, giving better or poorer approximations. Should a part be used to carry loads that were not allowed for in the traditional method then some more appropriate method must be found or developed. An important aspect is to make the student practiced in a range of modern concepts, techniques and tools, and to be made aware of their strengths and limitations.
This unit of study teaches the student how to recognise where and how their theoretical skills can be applied to the practical situations that they may encounter in this field of design.
Options may be provided in the choice of design assignments. Biomedical engineering and vehicle design problems may be provided as options to more general machine design problems.

That's an example. and they probably wish they never had, since its only resulted in people whining every 15 seconds on this list that they haven't rewritten redhats installer for today's release X.whatever. Stefan is correct though, its not SGI's responsibility to rewrite everyones installer, thats the vendor's responsibility, or its your own responsibility. nobody should be expecting SGI to do it like they are obligated, they aren't. remember this is a port of XFS to the Linux kernel, NOT a port of XFS to redhat. its funny that hardly anyone annoys SGI about making installers for debian or slackware or $DIST. please either patch it yourself, bug redhat about it, or switch to a distro that has a XFS capable installer available and/or a dist which is actually upgradable without the filesystem mattering. I would much prefer the SGI folks spend thier time further improving XFS and hopefully getting it merged into the mainline linux source then spending all thier time answering this stupid question every 15 seconds, or patching redhat's installer every other month. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California's campaign watchdog said Thursday it is reviewing whether a former state senator broke the law when he used campaign funds to purchase a vehicle formerly owned by the state.
The Fair Political Practices Commission has sent a letter to Republican Bob Dutton, the former minority leader from Rancho Cucamonga, questioning why the title for the 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe is in his name if it was for campaign use.
Depending on the response, the commission could open a formal investigation as early as next week, said Gary Winuk, chief of the commission's Enforcement Division.
Dutton said he believed he was following the law.
"It's an officeholder account and it's been used for officeholder purposes. I've bounced it off a couple attorneys and they didn't see any problems," said Dutton, who lost a bid for Congress last month.

Latest question:
How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
Visualization pioneer Barco (Kortrijk Belgium) announced that Houston-based LD Systems selected Barco MiTRIX transparent LED modules for multiple high-resolution video walls in their custom installation for the 2009 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The three-week event in March, billed as the world's largest livestock and rodeo show, combined both competitions with a big-name concert series under one roof, Houston's Reliant Stadium.
With 32 individual LED screens comprised of more than 4,000 MiTRIX modules suspended from the stadium's ceiling, the LD Systems structure needed to be reconfigured easily on an event-by-event basis. During the rodeo competition, the MiTRIX structure served as an overhead IMAG and statistics display, while during concert mode, the bottom LED skirt descended to the stadium floor�becoming the footer skirt for the rotating concert stage. The concert stage backdrop is comprised of nearly 1,000 panels. The entire transformation takes only 20 minutes.
Lighting elements within the arena included multiple High End Systems' luminaires. Video content was fed to the MiTRIX walls in four zones with Barco DX-700 LED digitizers providing the processing.
The MiTRIX modules were chosen in part, because of their transparency, light weight, and superb brightness. "This technology has never been used for a rodeo before," said Scott Justis, Marketing Manager for LD Systems, "and this show has definitely raised the bar for rodeos. The MiTRIX was chosen for its weight, its brightness, but especially because of its transparency. On our previous stages, the backdrop was fabric, and the audience around back could not see the performers except for the IMAG. But because you can see through the MiTRIX modules, even when the brightness is turned up, you can still see the performers and the band, even when the stage is rotated away from a portion of the audience."
"There's a lot of dust in there, and it gets over everything," he added. "We realized that we really needed an all-weather product. So, in addition to resolution, the MiTRIX durability and serviceability really played into it. In fact, we didn't start on the 3D design until we were comfortable with the product selection. Moving forward, because we own the modules, we want to offer this technology for our other corporate, trade show, concert and touring clientele."

Streetwise performer Dizzee Rascal knows his territory - just don't try to pigeonhole him. By Khalil Hegarty.
Urban music in Britain is now organised in the same way as a plate of spaghetti. Genres and sounds cross-dive into each other, picking up other influences on the way. In between the straight-up hip-hop and r'n'b are tinges of garage, two-step, ragga, dancehall and drum'n'bass. For Dizzee Rascal, Britain's latest urban enfant terrible, the answer to this genre-bending nightmare is simple: don't call it anything.
"If I put a name on it I pigeonhole myself," Dizzee (Dylan Mills) says from his home in Bow, in East London.
"People understand that it's not necessarily r'n'b or hip-hop or garage. It's my own outlook on music. I'm inspired by a lot of different genres of music."
True, Mills's debut, Boy In Da Corner,
defies description. It may follow the beats-and-rhymes formula of hip-hop,
but that's where the similarities end. Machine-gun raps are underlined by
chaotic samples of everything from vintage video-game sounds to stadium
rock, such as Billy Squier's The Big Beat.
British audiences, perennially searching for a new sound, embraced the album wholeheartedly, lavishing it with critical praise and the coveted Mercury Music Prize last year.
"I was shocked more than anything," Mills says of the accolade. "I wasn't expecting it at all. I thought I might have had a chance, but I was overwhelmed. Afterwards I just took it back to the block."
Such a low-key response suggests he might be more than a pop sensation. The obvious street-wise philosophy in his lyrics and music has a lot more to do with taking a long bet on something smart than taking stupid chances. Even the title of the album belies more than just an odd phrase.
"Boy In Da Corner - that whole sense of having your back against the wall. You're on a street corner, you're in the corner at school. You can see a lot from the corner."
For Mills, growing up in Bow was a combination of prowling the garage and dancehall raves as a teenager, and typical English street life. But it was during his teen years that he put together most of Boy In Da Corner. "A lot of that album was done when I was about 16," he explains. "Back then I was doing mainly raves, pirate radio, and just building up my sound. I used to DJ - I used to mix jungle records. I wasn't big or anything, it was just a hobby I used to have. I started rhyming and started going on radio, and eventually started MCing over beats on radio. I was with a crew, the Roll Deep crew."
These days, however, Mills finds England's underground scene somewhat stagnant.
"I did a show at Fabric recently that was the most underground thing I've done for a long time. The whole rave scene is just a little bit normal. I'm trying to establish myself as being a credible artist - a strong mainstream artist - but without selling out."
It's understandable that Mills feels the need to put his underground origins in Bow behind him. "Inner-city London is most definitely violent, and the crime is always there," he says. "When you come from somewhere like Bow you've got no options. You can't go to university. You can go into crime, you can try to become a footballer, or you can go into music - those are your three main options.
"People aren't aware of the extent of it. It affects a lot of people in different ways. But I've always been on the sidelines."
Nonetheless, Mills believes that his upbringing and his sharp observations of urban life are part of his appeal.
"Anyone can relate to hardship - from the suburbs, cities, anywhere."
Mills's short career has not been without controversy. Last year he made headlines after an incident in Ayia Napa, an island off Cyprus, where he was stabbed by a member of British has-beens the So Solid Crew.
"I got stabbed," he says, tight-lipped. "Or poked. But that's something outside of music. It's got nothing to do with what I'm about."
His falling out with his former posse the Roll Deep Crew and the up-and-coming garage producer Wiley, was also well-publicised.
"For me, I was grateful to be a part of a team," he says. "But as a solo artist I can push myself as far as I can go. But whatever happened, I don't bear a grudge. I'm not looking in that direction, I'm looking toward the future."
Still, Mills can't help taking a dig at Wiley and his newly proclaimed genre of "Eski-Beat". "That's the name that Wiley gave to the music that he makes. But with me, I don't believe that I should give what I do a name."
Dizzee Rascal plays at the Prince, St Kilda, next Thursday. Boy In Da Corner is out on XL/Remote Control.

Admission to the Teacher Education Program is open to all Meredith students who meet the standards established by the Meredith College Teacher Education Committee. Because there are a number of specific teacher education requirements within the general education requirements of the College, students planning on licensure who apply early for admission to the Teacher Education Program have an advantage in scheduling and may be able to reduce the time required to complete the degree program and licensing program.
Note: The majority of methods classes can be taken only after admission to the program.
1. Discuss obtaining a teaching license with your faculty advisor, decide on the area of licensure desired, and complete a Declaration of Major form.
2. The Registrar furnishes the Department of Education with a copy of the student's Declaration of Major form and transcript. If your overall GPA is 2.0 or better, you will receive the Information/Application package. However, admission is not granted until the student's overall GPA is 2.75 or better on a 4-point scale. No more than one-half of the professional education courses may be taken before formal admission to the program. Students seeking middle or secondary licensure areas must be formally admitted to Teacher Education before enrolling in the methods course or have special permission from the instructor.
3. Take the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators (Core Reading, Core Writing, Core Math) by the end of your sophomore year (or as soon as possible thereafter), make the required minimum scores, combination, or better. Request that official copies of your scores be sent to Meredith College. Note: SAT or ACT scores may be accepted in place of Praxis Core. Contact the Department of Education for more information.
4. Attend the "Orientation to Education" required meeting (scheduled twice during the fall and spring semesters).
5. Complete and return forms as quickly as possible. (Note: If you are required to take courses in the spring for which you need to be admitted, all requirements must be met by October 15; if fall, March 15.
A completed application includes:
6. When all required forms are received by the Department of Education, the application will be reviewed for admission.
7. You will be notified of formal admission in writing by the Chair of the Department of Education.
Special Note: All students must demonstrate speech competency prior to their internship. Have a faculty member from whom you've taken an approved "oral communications thread" course (e.g. EDU 232, Schools and Social Change) complete the Speech Competencies Screening Form and have the results sent to the Department of Education.
Senttra Snowden-Gregg can't wait to start teaching high school English. A born leader with a passion for reaching all students as individuals and a love of American literature, this graduating senior knows what it takes to be a strong teacher.

A Crossroads Family Meal, at it's simplest, is a means to connect with others who call Crossroads "home". Even more, it's an opportunity to share with others in the goodness of God, to express dependence upon him as a community, and to celebrate all He's done with others in the family of God. There is so much value in slowing down and joining one another around the table to break bread and share stories of God's provision and presence in our lives. The table is where relationships are deepened, where family reconnects and where God's faithfulness is proclaimed. We invite you to the table to participate in a meal.
It's our hope that these meals become a regular part of the rhythm of community at Crossroads. Friends opening their homes to those in the same neighborhood or with the same heartbeat and passions, making connections and developing true friendship and family. It's our way of making the larger Crossroads family smaller. These meals aren't just for new people...but for everyone. We hope it's a way to bring the mission of God into the ordinary...where we live.
Please fill out the following information and read the other directions below.

Clutch issues- Totally STUMPED
Here's the scenario, Ill try to make it as short as possible.
Ive installed an s52/zf trans into my e30.
The parts ive used are:
e30 clutch master- NEW
E36 m3 slave cyl- NEW
ZF trans
OEM sachs e36 m3 clutch kit- TOB included- NEW
Dual mass stock flywheel- resurfaced
Clutch fork ok, clip for pivot intact
I bled the slave outside of the trans, everything went back together, and seemed ok. I got a decently stiff pedal, but when tried to put the car into gear it wouldnt go, as if the clutch wasnt fully disengaged.
I removed the clutch stop completley for a little more travel. It got slightly better as if i was disengaging it a tad bit more, but still barely going into gear
- Completley stumped out of desperation, I extended the slave cyl rod about a 1/2" thinking id get a bit more pedal up top and disengage a bit more. It seemed to make the pedal feel a TAD better, but still no disengagment.
I noticed the short amount of driving I did ( putting it into gear before starting ) the cluth will engage very close to the floor, like less than an inch. When trying to force it into gear while idling, the car tends to inch foward.
Im totally at a loss, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
How sure are you that the slave is completely bled? I remember when I was working on my buddies e36 tranny, it took forever to bleed the slave completely.. it sounds like your slave cyl isn't pushing all the way..
Also, so you can start the car with it in gear and it doesn't jump forward? Weirddd
I thought maybe it wasnt totally bled, and that was my problem, but no Im sure its bled.
The clutch does disengage but only very slightly. The car will move only a tad on startup in gear.
Maybe you installed the clutch disc backwards?
Nope, nearly impossible. Its stamped right on it "GEARBOX SIDE"
Hmm.. take backward steps. So clutch master is new, are the clutch lines good? Was the transmission fork installed properly, and same for tob? You use the zf pilot bearing correct?
Shyts weird
Yes, yes, yes, yes, and YES! Pilot bearing stayed with the trans when I pulled it. Everything aside from the e30 clutch master is from the same car.
I pulled the trans to inspect, and the clutch fork seemed fine. It was attatched on one side, the clip was fine. i dont think i overlooked anything.. but thats why i posted, maybe someone had a similar experience.
Does the E30 master have enough volume to move the E36 slave cylinder a sufficient amount? Just a random thought......
Only experience I've had with this is when my slave-cyl died on my old e36 and had similar symptoms as to what you're experiencing... But since your slave cyl is brand new I wouldn't know why that is :/
It really does sound like air though...
Try bleeding the slave with it still attached to the tranny...also stupid question but is that slave penis thing where it's supposed to be? Is it hitting the clutch fork thing like it's supposed to? (Please Excuse My Vague Vocabulary)
(PEMVV, bitches!)
All parts are installed correctly. We have a small indy BMW shop.
Slave has been bled in and out of the trans, all parts are new and installed correctly. We are familiar with all the typical things such as a backwards clutch disk (had a client's car come in like that after they tried to do their own clutch), pivot pin is not worn, TOB is in correctly (we have done 6 or 8 clutches last month alone). Even used the BMW slave bleeding tool, absolutely NO air in the lines. The e30 master will control the slave without issue (typically, not today :(), we had 3 24v swaps in the shop this month and this is something we would suspect if a Getrag was being used, but this entire driveline came out of one car and went in another with just the new hydraulics/clutch kit - well also OBD1 conversion but has nothing to do with the clutch.
Totally stumped.
We even tried a second slave to no avail, perhaps the master is bad, but doubtful since when using the bleeder tool, the pedal was rock hard and keeping pressure on it, it didn't settle at all (like it would if the plunger seal was bad in the master and/or slave).
Never experienced anything like this and a couple hour job has been picked at for 3days.
At this point I would try a different slave.
Every option seems to have been exhausted
thats the thing, engaging and disengaging the clutch wouldn't be a trans issue in most rwd cars :(
also sorry I meant master cyl
The transmission and clutch worked flawlessly in the old chassis. Could be a bad master, but this would be a first as we use only new FTE and ***, never parts store rebuilds.
i'm thinking that if the engagement is close to the floor and there is not enough free play in the rotating clutch assembly to allow the gears to engage properly. you probably need additional throw in the tob to allow the flexplate proper clearance.
if i understood one of the above posts about some sort of extension on the slave rod and it seemed to help, i would pursue this line of reasoning and use a longer rod.
or a 'deeper' tob.
or a different clutch fork.
it does not sound to me like air in the system as that usually is indicated by no pedal feel.
and i have seen clutches installed backwards on many vehicles that showed no shifting issues. sometimes i guess it may not matter...:dunno:
I just thought of something...could it maybe be that paperclip thing the pulls the clutch fork back or something?
We are going to have a master overnight-ed, hopefully this is it, but am skeptical since when the slave was in a fixture, the pedal wouldn't "bleed" down, but has a bit of perspiration on the edges of the rubber accordion now.
good luck, hopefully its the master.
Just realized that the other brand F.A.G. was deleted in the last post, lol, yet it's okay to say penis.
and gay lol
What step was machined into the flywheel when it was resurfaced?
Do you have the dowels in the block still?
Did you rest the input shaft on the disc as you were installing it?
Working in the warranty dept. for an aftermarket clutch company has shown me a million different ways that can keep a clutch from releasing fully.

Style Stealer: Jamie Chung's Daring Denim Jumpsuit
There are probably, oh, 20 days out of the year where I'd wake up and think to myself, Amelia, I think you could pull of the denim jumpsuit today. In fact, I think you should pair it with kinda crazy heels and a striped cardigan and you will look FLY. (I speak to myself in the third person on those days as well.) I imagine that Jamie Chung wakes up and has the confidence to pull off this look on more days than that. But regardless of how often the urge to wear a denim jumpsuit with a grandpa cardigan and greyish pointy toed booties/pumps hits you, you need to be prepared. Get the look after the jump!
Jumpsuit: $79.90, Zara
Cardigan: $59.50, Madewell
Sunglasses: $20, Nasty Gal
Pumps: $135, Joe's Jeans, Zappos

Justin Bieber Set to Perform on Friday Following Collapse On Stage
After collapsing onstage and visiting a hospital last night (March 7) and verbally battling (aka cursing out) photographers who blocked his path to an SUV and gave his bodyguards a hard time today, we wouldn't be shocked if Justin Bieber took the evening off. But he's not. The singer will perform as planned tonight (March 8) at the O2 Arena in London. It'll be his fourth show at the venue this week.
The powers-that-be at the venue confirmed that the show will go on. O2 Arena spokesperson Jeremy King said, "[Bieber] was treated by our team of medics and after further examination they didn't find anything more serious or worrying."
That's a relief.
The Biebs, who shared a shirtless photo while in the hospital, tweeted that he planned to turn his frustration from getting heated with paparazzi into positive energy, funneling the adrenaline into his performance tonight.
Not gonna let them get the best of me again. Gonna get focused on this show tonight. Adrenaline is high now. Gonna put it on the stage
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) March 8, 2013
Beliebers with tickets to the gig are in for one heck of a show! Let's hope he isn't tardy like he was earlier this week, which resulted in fans crying and booing. The fourth time will be the charm.

RAF man denies plane crash charges
A military air traffic controller has appeared before a court martial over the crash of two US Air force jets in the Cairngorms.
The American pilots died when their aircraft crashed into Ben Macdhui on a training flight in bad weather in March 2001.
The case is unusual because it is very rare for a military air traffic controller to face court martial after a fatal accident.
The two US Air Force F15 fighter jets were on a low flying exercise, from RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, when they disappeared in the Cairngorms.
Mountain rescue teams battled through white-out conditions to find the wreckage near the summit of Ben Macdhui.
The bodies of the pilots, Lieutenant Colonel Kenneth Hyvonen, 40, and Captain Kirk Jones, 27, were recovered within days.
The court martial opened on Monday in Helensburgh before seven senior RAF officers assisted by a judge advocate.
Not guilty plea
It is alleged that Flt Lt Williams told Lt Col Hyvonen to descend to 4,000ft when the minimum safe altitude in that area was 6,500ft.
The descent is said to have caused the deaths of the two pilots.
Flt Lt Williams faces an alternative charge of negligently performing in his duties as an air traffic controller.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
He said the air traffic controller had responded "inappropriately" by telling Lt Col Hyvonen, the lead pilot of the formation, to descend to 4,000ft.
Group Captain McGrigor conceded that the responsibility for avoiding other air traffic and terrain rested with the pilots.
However, he alleged that the advice to descend to 4,000ft was a significant contribution to the crash.
Compassionate leave
The court martial heard that Lt Col Hyvonen had used an American phrase "minimum vectoring altitude" which Flt Lt Williams had not queried.
Group Captain McGrigor also said that the crash happened on the day Flt Lt Williams returned to duty after two weeks of compassionate leave following the death of his father.
He said the radar equipment had been in full working order and that the aircraft was fully serviceable on take off.
The hearing continues.
